| Jack_Sparrow | Hok, the other will suggest resizing windows partition.. and in your case.. you dont want that one either | 00:00 |
| Hok | Jack_Sparrow: What does the first one do? | 00:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hok, Use entire drive is the option you want | 00:00 |

| Hok | Jack_Sparrow: Yes, manual. What should I be in? (Sorry about being such a noob with this, thanks for bearing with me) | 00:01 |
| perillux | runderwo: I have no users or anything, security = share and guests are allowed so passwords/permissions shouldn't be a problem | 00:02 |

| wassy121_ | randal: not a good (complete/stable) one, no. Maybe Xen is what you are looking for? | 00:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hok, Is this a dell or hp and did you do the self test of the cd for errors | 00:08 |
| wassy121_ | randal: maybe virtualbox from Sun? Maybe vmware? | 00:08 |
| wassy121_ | randal: but, I have had decent luck with wine just running the game through a "fake" api. | 00:08 |
| runderwo | pwhipp: in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, change Driver 'nvidia' to Driver 'nv' | 00:08 |
| Hok | Jack_Sparrow: Dell Desktop. Yeah I tested the CD for errors and it was fine. | 00:08 |
| randal | wassy121 wine sucks it never works for me | 00:08 |

| zc00gii | tekstacy: make sure you state the person you are talking to, anyway, try installin the servr, not just the client on the remoter machine | 00:09 |

| runderwo | Bachiir: OPC failure usually means bad media, but you'll also see that with a worn out burner | 00:21 |
| runderwo | pwhipp: that would complicate things | 00:21 |
| runderwo | Bachiir: one way you can check what is going on is by trying to burn at a slower speed | 00:22 |
| dr_willis | Does it seem to other people that dvd-cd-burners these days just dont seem to last very long? | 00:22 |
| runderwo | Bachiir: if OPC fails at the higher speed but works at slower speeds, then your burner is on the way out. | 00:22 |

| dr_willis | perillux, samba has some really 'complex' things that goes on in thebackground. that Using-Samba book. thats in the samba-doc package give some info on it all. A lot of it is way over my head | 00:36 |
| Flannel | Ferram: just turn it off (metacity --replace, with compiz --replace to turn it back on)to run WoW (or just disable it on her account in general) | 00:36 |
| mib_lb962v | okay the disabling networking didn't work so i went into the Network Settings, I've got the SSID entered correctly, the Password type is WPA, and all of my connection settings are accurate, but as for the password, I enter it correctly, but once i click OK the Netowkr Settings box becomes deselected for a second and i cant click on it. Once it comes back if I go into the properties for my connection, the password is lon | 00:36 |
| runderwo | perillux: it's only insecure if someone can connect to port 139 | 00:36 |
| td123 | Weeaboo: type in zcat /proc/config.gz > .config | 00:36 |
| craigbass1976 | any postfix experts here? I edited my virtual file in Postfix. What do I need to do besides "postmap /etc/postfix/virtual", "postfix reload", restarting the daemon, and creating a user account on the box with a ~/Maildir? | 00:36 |
| Weeaboo | td123: no such file | 00:36 |
| runderwo | perillux: usually, ISPs block that port, but it's worth a check anyway | 00:36 |
| Ferram | Flannel: Thanks, but not exactly the solution I was looking for | 00:36 |
| perillux | runderwo: I don't think they can, ok :) thanks again! | 00:36 |
| td123 | Weeaboo: read the kernel compilation and getting sources tutorial on the ubuntu wiki, it tells you how to get it | 00:36 |

| Tetracomm | Hello. | 00:38 |
| Flannel | craigbass1976: Eh? | 00:38 |
| Ferram | Flannel: I wasn't addressing it as a real issue; I know the software works together, I've done it before, I was just wondering about how people's experiences have been lately compared to, say, a year ago when it was really buggy. I just want to talk to someone who's had experienced with it lately | 00:38 |
| Tetracomm | How can I convert Apple Lossless to FLAC in Ubuntu? | 00:38 |

| jp_sf | Kalan: you can try pstree to see it as well | 00:42 |
| Flannel | CoJaBo-Dell: That's just the generic download page, however I see what you mean. You should file a bug report here about it: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website | 00:43 |
| jp_sf | Kalan: I wouldn't trust a machine that as been compromised | 00:43 |
| Kalan | jp_sf: yeah that's the command i was looking for and yes those are the proccess | 00:43 |
| CoJaBo-Dell | ok | 00:44 |
| jp_sf | Kalan: also a better command would be lsof -i -n -P -l to have a direct overview | 00:44 |

| giacomo_c | i just installed 8.04 and it made me do all these updates that took forever... now when i try to log in, it just shows me a white screen with the pointer in the middle | 00:45 |
| runderwo | Kalan: remember, a root kit will sometimes replace commands like lsof with versions that hide the malicious programs | 00:45 |
| runderwo | Kalan: so you might want to apt-get --reinstall install lsof first | 00:46 |

| wassy121_ | cplusplus: it is a description of what libraries are statically linked into a .a file IIRC. | 00:47 |
| jp_sf | Kalan: doing a lsof -n -P -l look for everything in from /usr/bin/ having a working directory in /tmp | 00:47 |
| recon69 | giacomo_c: think it F4 to get the menu up but not sure | 00:47 |
| giacomo_c | f4? | 00:47 |

| Doonz | how do i log into a remote server and through ssh grab a file and transfer a folder to my local machine | 00:51 |
| runderwo | Claire2009: try running it from a terminal and seeing if it gives you any errors. | 00:51 |
| recon69 | giacomo_c: would guess vedio card driver trouble | 00:51 |
| wassy121_ | Doonz: places -> connect to server, change type to SSH. | 00:51 |

| gnutron | jp_sf: it's chkrootkit | 00:52 |
| runderwo | Claire2009: if you do things from terminal, it will sometimes give you more informative messages about problems the program is having. | 00:52 |
| sidney | runderwo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105381/ | 00:52 |
| jp_sf | gnutron: true | 00:52 |
| runderwo | Claire2009: so, try that for a while. | 00:52 |
| recon69 | giacomo_c: you should get into recover mode so the stock drivers are loaded, see if it a driver issue | 00:52 |
| DrX | how do you ensure that a specific user read has only permissions to an ext3 volume? | 00:53 |
| Kalan | gnutron: thanks | 00:53 |
| Claire2009 | runderwo - how to i run modzilla from terminal in 8.04? | 00:53 |
| runderwo | Claire2009: I would also try creating a fresh user account and seeing if the problem still occurs. | 00:53 |
| Kalan | jp_sf: and thank you too | 00:53 |
| Claire2009 | i may do that..... | 00:53 |
| giacomo_c | recon69: ill try using the ones under hardware and see if maybe that will fix it | 00:53 |
| wassy121_ | Claire2009: you mean firefox, or mozilla? Usually you can just open a command terminal (under accessories), and type 'mozilla' | 00:53 |
| Kalan | jp_sf: i was blind :P | 00:53 |
| Claire2009 | i'm running modzilla firefox | 00:54 |

| sidney | i can see the windows files on this dual boot | 00:57 |
| recon69 | WebcamWonder: symlink the folder not the files? | 00:57 |

| redvamp128 | Someis-- depends on what os is on your main drive and if you can install grub or grub4dos | 01:03 |
| runderwo | sidney: so you're trying to use the machine with the VIA chip as a file server? | 01:03 |
| wassy121_ | Someoneis: Sure you can. Just have to get it to boot, and it will run off primary/master/whatever. | 01:03 |
| temppy | WebcamWonder: do you have any links? or know any specifics? (I really want to know a safe way to run ff with root privileges) | 01:03 |
| jp_sf | usta: what version of postfix are your running ? | 01:03 |
| recon69 | Claire2009 permissions | 01:04 |
| WebcamWonder | temppy: Why do you want to run it with root priv.? | 01:04 |
| redvamp128 | Someoneis: depends n what your main os is on the primary drive and also if you can use grub or grub4dos or a grub boot floppy (or usb drive) | 01:04 |
| Claire2009 | recon69 - it says i'm not the owner, can't change permissions | 01:04 |
| === yacc_ is now known as yacc | ||
| sidney | runderwo: i just want it tobe part of my home network | 01:04 |
| recon69 | Claire2009: that why you cant paste onto thatr drive | 01:05 |
| temppy | WebcamWonder: http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/partner/us/languages/english/check.html?n=1228622027273 I'm trying to get that site working | 01:05 |
| Claire2009 | recon69 - so, how do i fix this???? | 01:05 |
| runderwo | sidney: have you installed samba? | 01:05 |
| WebcamWonder | temppy: Why do you want to run an antivirus check? You don't need one in Windows | 01:05 |
| WebcamWonder | Arggh Linux* | 01:05 |
| sidney | runderwo: i think it is installed this is super ubuntu | 01:06 |
| redvamp128 | temppy: probably the only way though-- is to install ies4linux and or run through wine using a firefox wine | 01:06 |
| redvamp128 | I think that site uses activex | 01:06 |
| temppy | WebcamWonder: to be able to scan a windows partition | 01:06 |
| sidney | runderwo: i can see even windows machines | 01:06 |
| redvamp128 | temppy: Though I think in the repository there is clam (antivirus) | 01:06 |
| WebcamWonder | temppy: I know this for sure, that if you gksu your firefox, the permissions on your home folder mess up | 01:07 |
| runderwo | sidney: then you need to read about configuring samba. The network is working, but the server has to be set up and told what shares to make available and who has permission to view them. | 01:07 |
| biot023 | Can anyone point me at a guide to help newbies get a fresh install of Ibex's ethernet connection configured/working? I'm floundering, rather. | 01:07 |
| WebcamWonder | !networking | 01:07 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about networking | 01:07 |
| runderwo | !samba | 01:07 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 | 01:07 |

| ubottu | networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager | 01:07 |
| temppy | redvamp128: no, Im sure about it, it uses java, and running it with root permissions makes it happy. Thats why I'm trying to figure a safe way to elevate ff's permissions. At the worst, I'll just create a separate user account | 01:07 |
| wassy121_ | biot023: ^ | 01:07 |
| sidney | is the command ls samba? to see if it's installed\ | 01:08 |
| === eric is now known as talntid | ||
| redvamp128 | temppy why not run the wine standalone | 01:08 |
| Gerinych | i have some sound delays when i'm playing games, how do i fix this? | 01:08 |
| redvamp128 | version of firefox | 01:08 |
| Claire2009 | recon69 - how do i make my 2nd HD accessible again? | 01:08 |
| biot023 | wassi121_: cheers -- I'll have a look at that later -- is there something equivalent for ethernet, or am I being dumb? | 01:09 |
| sidney | thanks for the links but how can i see if samba is installed | 01:09 |
| temppy | redvamp128: I dunno. making a separate user account, and gksu firefox seems simpler... | 01:09 |
| wassy121_ | sidney: dpkg -s samba | 01:09 |
| wassy121_ | sidney: or 'dpkg -l | grep samba' | 01:10 |
| sidney | wassy121 thank you | 01:10 |
| eseven73 | temppy its not good to run things as root usually, especially something that access the internet like firefox | 01:10 |
| redvamp128 | temppy: If you check the repository -- they have Clam antivirus | 01:10 |
| recon69 | Claire2009: easy way is to "sudo nautilus" to get root access to the folders and change the owner. probably a better way though, has to do with how you mounted the drive | 01:10 |
| wassy121_ | biot023: it is the same thing. Use network-manager, and all your connections should just work. | 01:10 |
| temppy | eseven73: I know, but its the only apparent way. Consider me warned | 01:11 |
| Lamerion | okay.. i've a question with resolution... how do i set my resolution to wide screen resolution in ubuntu 6.06 | 01:11 |
| Claire2009 | recon69 - i just formatted it when i copied all my stuff to main drive. | 01:11 |
| Flannel | Claire2009, recon69: use `gksu nautilus` (don't use sudo with graphical programs); and be extremely careful with that nautilus window, and close it as soon as you're finished. | 01:11 |
| wassy121_ | 6.06? wow, that is years ago. I think you need to edit the X config file. | 01:11 |
| Lamerion | it only has the 4:3 aspect ratio | 01:11 |
| Lamerion | woh | 01:11 |
| Flannel | !fixres | Lamerion | 01:11 |
| ubottu | Lamerion: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 01:11 |
| Claire2009 | recon69 - not sure how i mounted it. it was my former ubuntu OS drive before i lost winXP | 01:12 |
| Lamerion | okay thx | 01:12 |
| redvamp128 | temppy: open up symantic do a search for "virus" there should be one that says gui front end for (clam) should do the trick and once installed you can update the virus defiinitions... then there is even a plugin on the same that does it over the network | 01:12 |
| temppy | redvamp128: clam sucks, no offense to them. Clam only catches old viruses in my experience. Anyway, thanks for the input | 01:12 |
| wassy121_ | Lamerion: http://howto-pages.org/ModeLines/ lays out what modelines are, and the (basic) math behind how to write your own. | 01:12 |

| blouf | hi everybody, i have a gtk theme and i like to change the text color of the apps menu (ex : File, edit ...) where should i go ? | 01:13 |
| redvamp128 | temppy: they have a debian installer -- | 01:13 |
| wassy121_ | Lamerion: I don't recall how to do it with the older version of ubuntu. I just remember writing my own. | 01:13 |
| alexvd | hello I upgraded to ubuntu ibex and I can no longer access local servers on my network but the internet works fine. Has anyone seen this issue | 01:13 |
| wassy121_ | Lamerion: multiplication is easy, promise :) | 01:13 |
| recon69 | Claire2009: O , in that case just change the permissions on the files, you will find that the all root except for the ones in Home folder | 01:13 |
| Ikan | Can someone help me? When I boot up ubuntu, the ubuntu image is not the original color; it looks awkward and it's been skewed. Does anyone know how to either remove it or restore the original image? | 01:14 |

| alexvd | caboosE: what is the issue | 01:15 |
| caboosE | i resized a partition with ntfsresize and the device is smaller in windows but i cant figure out how to create a new partition, i still see one partition (using gparted) | 01:15 |
| lonel | hi when i am doing apt-get the configurations file is not coming up | 01:16 |

| joe_- | I have a hardware RAID setup through my motherboard but when I go to install Ubuntu it sees each drive seperately, I would like to have it see one large drive. | 01:16 |
| temppy | redvamp128: interesting | 01:16 |
| alexvd | caboosE: sorry I am not an expert in partitions | 01:16 |
| redvamp128 | Though you have to register it-- by confirming your email though -- | 01:16 |
| mrwes | temppy: avast is good...I use in on my wife's windows machine | 01:16 |
| caboosE | ? | 01:17 |
| caboosE | whoops | 01:17 |
| BCampbell | avast better than clam on linux? | 01:17 |
| jp_sf | lonel: you mean you are missing a file ? | 01:17 |
| caboosE | anyone here good with partitioning ? | 01:17 |
| joe_- | So how do I get Ubuntu to see my hardware RAID as one large drive? | 01:17 |
| Stargazer | Is there something a little more better looking/functioning than Putty for SSHing ? | 01:17 |
| redvamp128 | temppy: you submit your email then you confirm it -- then they send you the full free key good for one year-- and each year you get a new key .. (home use only) | 01:17 |
| lonel | jp_sf: yeah i am trying to install slapd,adnd there is no slapd.conf in /etc/ldap :( | 01:17 |
| caboosE | can someone help me with ntfsresize? | 01:17 |
| wassy121_ | Joe_: it should automatically. Is it seeing multiple small drives? Is this a SATA RAID, or SCSI? | 01:18 |
| recon69 | Claire2009: the cmd is chown --help | 01:18 |
| redvamp128 | !chown | 01:18 |
| joe_- | wassy121: SATA RAID | 01:18 |

| wassy121_ | Stargazer: putty is a windows-only program. Not sure what else is out there for windows. How ugly can a command prompt get? | 01:18 |

| redvamp128 | caboosE: have you tried gparted? | 01:19 |
| joe_- | Stargazer: There's a shoot-off of PuTTy called KiTTy that makes it look nicer | 01:19 |
| wassy121_ | Joe_: most SATA RAID is really software RAID. Linux doesn't do SATA RAID well as far as I know. | 01:19 |

| alexvd | Hi can anyone help with network manager issue. I cannot browse local file shares via wireless but it works fine with a wired connection and the internet works as well | 01:19 |
| lonel | jp_sf: yeah i am trying to install slapd,adnd there is no slapd.conf in /etc/ldap :( | 01:19 |
| joe_- | wassy121_: I set it up on the board. It is part of the motherboard. | 01:19 |
| biot023 | Hi -- it looks like the network manager does not just work in this instance. I don't think the ethernet is even configured. | 01:19 |
| lockd | wassy121_: Stargazer: I am quite sure that PuTTY is not a Windows-only app | 01:20 |
| Guest42063 | Gabriel | 01:20 |
| Stargazer | Wassy121_, there's a Putty for X. | 01:20 |
| Guest42063 | DT5 | 01:20 |
| jp_sf | lonel: I'm confused I was thinking of slapd.args for the conf | 01:20 |
| dayo_ | lonel: sudo dpkg-reconfigure slapd | 01:20 |
| recon69 | god, wireless and ubuntu is just flaky , got two computer that crash on large dl's | 01:20 |
| sidney | upon installing samba i get an error | 01:20 |
| Stargazer | Eseven73, i was thinking something that i could use in Gnome terminal rather than something that resembles Xterm. | 01:21 |
| joe_- | recon69: Weird. Works perfectly for me and it spends all day downloading from Usenet. | 01:21 |

| jp_sf | lonel: the slapd.conf i in /etc/ldap | 01:21 |
| wassy121_ | lockd: Stargazer: wow, you are right. I never even thought to look. I run 'ssh user@hostname' from gnome-terminal. | 01:21 |
| wassy121_ | gnome-terminal is pretty enough for me. | 01:21 |
| lonel | jp_sf: yeah,but its not their after doing an apt-get install slapd | 01:21 |
| joe_- | wassy121_: Well I'm using this as a media box and I'd like to have one big drive as opposed to multiple smaller ones. | 01:21 |
| Stargazer | Same here wassy121_. | 01:21 |
| neurotope | installing ubuntu for the first time, will 64bit be harder to learn than 32bit? | 01:21 |
| eseven73 | Stargazer: i donno, im a minimalist myself. zero eyecandy for me :) | 01:21 |
| Gerinych | i have some sound delays when i'm playing games, how do i fix this? | 01:22 |
| redvamp128 | Stargazer: why not install xterm --should be in the repository | 01:22 |
| lonel | dayo_: so a reconfigure will create that file? | 01:22 |
| dayo_ | lonel: yes | 01:22 |
| biot023 | Are people having more network & wireless problems in Ibex? I've had a couple of happy Heron installs, and not been able to get a single Ibex working fully yet. | 01:22 |
| recon69 | joe_-: thought for ages it was just a funky driver for my card, got a new computer and it crashes also. problem must be deeper that wlan driver | 01:22 |
| lonel | dayo_: let me try | 01:22 |
| Stargazer | Redvamp128, i'm against xterm. can't copy/paste from/to it. | 01:22 |
| alexvd | biot023: yes | 01:22 |
| dayo_ | lonel: i had the same problem once, too | 01:22 |
| wassy121_ | Joe_: I read in the past (8-12 months ago) that SATA RAID just wasn't what it is advertised to be, and the "controller card" on the MB just abstracts it out to be software-controlled by windows. | 01:22 |
| jp_sf | lonel: I think it is coming from openldap | 01:22 |
| dr_willis | Stargazer, select/ middle click.. to paste.. | 01:22 |
| lockd | wassy121_: yes, putty is of limited use on Unix type systems :P | 01:23 |
| joe_- | wassy121_: Huh. That's dumb. | 01:23 |
| mrwes | biot023: My Intrepid install wireless works fine | 01:23 |
| lonel | dayo_: i see,also i got some issues integrating pam with ldap,did you tried that before? | 01:23 |
| alexvd | biot023: I have an issue with wireless where I cannot browse local servers or file shares. Wired works and internet works | 01:23 |
| Stargazer | Dr_willis: and to copy ? | 01:23 |
| jp_sf | lonel: don't you have one in /etc/openldap/ ? | 01:23 |
| BCampbell | neurotope: I see no difference in 32 versus 64 in learning | 01:23 |
| biot023 | Right -- I'm gonna try going back to Heron & seeing if those machines are any happier there. | 01:23 |
| wassy121_ | Joe_: This is in contrast to a SCSI RAID, which takes the input on one SCSI channel, and the card itself writes the data to both disks. | 01:23 |
| jp_sf | lonel: /etc/openldap/slapd.conf.default | 01:23 |
| dayo_ | lonel: haven't got that far yet. i'm still new with installing ldap, myself | 01:23 |
| neurotope | BCampbell: so the 64bit has similar driver / software support? | 01:23 |
| alexvd | biot023: I am using static addresses which is a a pain | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | Stargazer, once you 'select' it is copied to the 'x selection' buffer.. you then middle click topaste the selection whever.. there are some clipboard tools that can controll how the 'selection' buffer works with the 'clipboard' buffer. | 01:24 |
| lockd | I've managed to fix my OSS problem. I just uninstalled gstreamer-alsa and the Bad and Ugly plugins | 01:24 |
| lonel | jp_sf: let em check ,i beleive it is in /etc/ldap | 01:24 |
| lockd | err, installed bad and ugly | 01:24 |
| lonel | jp_sf: nothing like that | 01:24 |
| alexvd | anyone seen an issue where you cannot browse local file shares over wireless but wired works | 01:24 |
| jp_sf | lonel: you don't use openldap ? | 01:24 |
| wassy121_ | neurotope: 64-bit is missing some things like good flash support (though it should be fixed real soon), and some other stuff like proprietary hardware drivers (think nvidia/ati). | 01:24 |
| wcdl | anyone knows how to completely remove photoshop from wine | 01:24 |
| lonel | jp_sf: its same ,its known as slapd | 01:24 |
| BCampbell | neurotope: as far as I can see yes. I just installed Mythbunutu64 today and everything is running fine. All hardware is working and after running apt-get to install the gnome desktop everything is great. | 01:24 |
| Stargazer | Wassy121_, epiphany runs YouTube's flash fine... as well as other flash apps. | 01:25 |
| runderwo | wassy121_: there are a few good ATA RAID cards, but most of the motherboard stuff is junk. | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | alexvd, ive noticed that befor inder windows also.. im wondering if some wireless routers/settings block samba over sireless by default for security | 01:25 |
| eseven73 | wcdl: do yo9u have anything else installed in wine? | 01:25 |
| dayo_ | jp_sf: slapd is the server in openldap | 01:25 |
| lockd | Speaking of which, why isn't there a package for OSS in apt? Sometimes alsa support is non-existant or shoddy, and the other way around | 01:25 |
| wcdl | no | 01:25 |
| Fjss | what version of warsow is in the ubuntu repo? | 01:25 |

| runderwo | joe_-: I think you just want a RAID0. mdtools can take care of that without LVM. | 01:30 |
| biot023 | alexvd: I'm too green to have been messing with static addresses, but the other machine I'm trying to get working with ibex won't read the wireless. | 01:31 |

| dick-richardson | wassy121, thank you :) | 01:31 |
| wassy121_ | dick-richardson: but, you have to be _super_ careful with the file and folder permissions in order to get key-based authentication working between machines. | 01:31 |

| grkblood13 | i want to set up a NFS server | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | gofg: you havent made the mount point dude. try this instead | 02:16 |
| grkblood13 | should i get the desktop or server edition | 02:16 |
| goffio | The_Rebel: afaict, what you need is to use the config files in /etc/pulse. Perhaps (i'm no expert on this) take a look at /etc/pulse/default.pa, last two lines pray "set-default-source" and "set-default-sink" | 02:16 |
| Tyrath | sifuschwager: sudo apt-get install wine | 02:16 |

| grkblood13 | i know what it is, im just wondering if i would be better suited with the ubuntu server edition over the desktop edition | 02:17 |
| Tyrath | Gnea: well this one does have a GUI :) | 02:17 |
| grkblood13 | yea, belkin | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | gofg: you need to make the folder to mount to BEFORE mounting to it, the error shows this | 02:18 |
| easotokr | hi guys, I'm facing a wierd problem my ubuntu doesn't recognize my bcm4318, at all | 02:18 |
| gofg | ActionParsnip, worked marvelously. Since it was telling me the media didn't exist, not the mount point, I didn't think of that. | 02:18 |
| Gnea | grkblood13: doesn't really matter, although you should consider how often you'd be likely to reboot the machine | 02:18 |
| temppy | grkblood13: if you want a GUI, go with the desktop version | 02:18 |
| Tyrath | Gnea: one thing to note though is that installing qtstalker any other way than adding it to the repositories in ibex will fail | 02:18 |

| grkblood13 | ithey pointed to to a linux driver page | 02:19 |
| grkblood13 | and i found the driver it uses | 02:19 |

| ActionParsnip | gofg: yeah, you mount to a folder, if you specify a mount point that doesnt exist, the mount will fail | 02:19 |
| easotokr | today, nothing looks show it up | 02:19 |
| goffio | Aggrav8d: have you lost all conectivity to internet or just specific sites? | 02:19 |

| easotokr | even no lspci | 02:19 |
| runderwo | grkblood13: what's the model number? | 02:19 |
| redvamp128 | Stargazer: NVidia Driver If you have problems with Nvidia drivers after upgrading, check This guide for common solutions to problems with nvidia. Please make a backup of xorg.conf before following this method. Install the nvidia-settings package: (I KNOW IT IS FOR INTREPID) but commands should work on all ubuntu | 02:20 |
| easotokr | I already tried, nothing | 02:20 |

| ActionParsnip | easotokr: is the wifi turned on and enabled in the bios (if its laptop) | 02:20 |
| grkblood13 | oops, F5D9050 | 02:20 |
| redvamp128 | Stargazer: though you have to download the .run you want from NVIDIA | 02:20 |
| grkblood13 | its a desktop, this is external | 02:20 |
| andy1899 | sup peeps | 02:20 |

| Stargazer | Redvamp128, ever think everything on my machine may be Intel ? :< | 02:20 |
| easotokr | ActionParsnip, yes, absolutely even the bluetooth it's working | 02:20 |
| gofg | ActionParsnip, ah. That makes more sense now. Here I was thinking I was getting the hang of a non-Fischer-Price OS >.< | 02:20 |
| Tyrath | Gnea: it will install it just won't get the quotes for you | 02:21 |
| easotokr | ActionParsnip, I guess both com ein the same card :S | 02:21 |
| Tyrath | Gnea: which defeats the purpose of having the program lol | 02:21 |
| BushGoneJan20th | so i cannot set value higher than what ' xrandr ' states as maximum, correct? | 02:21 |
| runderwo | grkblood13: looks like rt73 driver is needed. | 02:21 |
| redvamp128 | Stargazer: that gets to this command (sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.80-pkg1.run ) | 02:21 |
| grkblood13 | Gnea: other than having a gui is there anything the desktop is better at? | 02:21 |
| Tyrath | anyhow I'm off | 02:21 |
| runderwo | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT73 | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | gofg: as long as you learn dude, on a side not you can mount to ANY folder, if the folder contains data it will not be readable as the mount will override it, the data will still be on the partition though | 02:21 |
| Tyrath | hope you like the program Gnea | 02:21 |
| runderwo | grkblood13: --^ | 02:21 |
| redvamp128 | which just replace with the version of Nvidia you want to run | 02:21 |
| gofg | ActionParsnip, when i unmount the drive will the data reappear in nautilus? | 02:22 |
| Tyrath | Gnea: I would personally like it a lot better if I could set it up the way I like butI don't know how to :/ | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | redvamp128: most nv cards are supported by the open drivers in repos | 02:22 |
| Gnea | tyler_d1: uhm, it updated them | 02:22 |
| grkblood13 | im on centos but i will def. check that out, thanks | 02:22 |
| Gnea | oops | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | gofg: if its unmounted then no, the partition must be mounted to be read | 02:22 |
| redvamp128 | Stargazer: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#NVidia_Driver | 02:23 |
| gofg | No, I mean, let's say I mount a CD to my home folder. When I remove the CD, will my home folder be back? >.< | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | gofg: if you want it mounting at boot, add a line for it in /etc/fstab | 02:23 |
| Gnea | grkblood13: it all depends what you want to do with it. i can still run a gui without a gui using server. | 02:23 |
| goffio | gofg: yes | 02:23 |
| redvamp128 | Stargazer: though you go to the nvidia site and download the .run of the Nvidia you want to run | 02:23 |
| gofg | ah | 02:23 |
| gofg | cool | 02:23 |
| dr_willis | gofg, what is in the folder you mount somthing to is 'hidden' while the mount exists | 02:23 |
| usser | gofg: you should not do that mounting into non empty directories can yield unpredictable results | 02:23 |

| Aggrav8d | but i can't seem to resolve anything. i USED to run a DNS server on this machine but I turned it off. | 02:24 |

| redvamp128 | Stargazer: -- sorry the autocomplete names is messing up | 02:24 |
| gofg | why is the standard sdbn? | 02:24 |

| Stargazer | Oh, epic failure, redvamp128. | 02:24 |
| goffio | Aggrav8d: what kind of devices are in the middle, routers etc? | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | gofg: its just how its being detected, its really not important | 02:24 |
| dr_willis | gofg, drives are named 'sdXY' where X = a b c d e and so on.. Y is # of he partitionj | 02:24 |

| Niki_ | ...transm. errors. what to check next? | 02:25 |
| goffio | Aggrav8d: did you have firewalls on your box, netfilter etc? | 02:25 |
| Niki_ | also, i used mii-tool to restart and reset the transmitter. after each such restart it renegotiates the link ok, the dhcp log on the router displays the new assigment. dhcpclient runs ok as well, renegotiating properly the ip lease | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | gofg: I'd read up on mount points, mounting and what its all about | 02:26 |
| wackarnolds | if i have 2 HD and want both of them to function how will i set them up in the partitioner when i do a fresh install | 02:26 |
| Niki_ | the routing table looks ok (gateway for 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 trough eth0, default to 192.168.0.1). but 192.168.0.1 is unreachable (ping report) | 02:26 |

| ActionParsnip | wackarnolds: install to one partitions, you can add the mounting to fstab if it doesnt get added for you so both are accessible | 02:27 |
| Lamerion | lol... just recovered from a misconfiguration in the xorg.conf file.. not messing with that for a while | 02:27 |
| dr_willis | gofg, linux uses a more logical schemd for he device names. | 02:27 |
| Gnea | gofg: not quite | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | gofg: man mount is a good start | 02:27 |
| wackarnolds | do that after he os install? | 02:27 |
| rww | Lamerion: heh, me too. I hate xorg so much >.> | 02:27 |
| softdav | hi | 02:27 |
| Niki_ | usser: is there any commandline tool? | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | wackarnolds: you may find it gets added for you, if one is ntfs formatted you will need ntfs-3g to write to it | 02:28 |
| Lamerion | =(( | 02:28 |
| gofg | I'll go ask somewhere else; I hate cluttering up the ubuntu irc channel. | 02:28 |
| myk_robinson | what is the default group in Intrepid for Apache2? The webserver is running, but I do not see a group associated with it. Do i need to reboot? | 02:28 |
| softdav | someone know how to change the time tor use to change of ip | 02:28 |
| Aggrav8d | goffio - apparently a reboot fixed it. i guess I should have tried flushing my dns cache first. | 02:28 |
| goffio | Aggrav8d: lol, yes that helps | 02:28 |
| Gnea | gofg: it's pretty simple, actually: C: is not a drive, it's a formatted partition. Windows doesn't see C: until it has formatted it. /dev/sda is the name of the whole first disk. /dev/sda1 is just the first partition. C: can be a partition, but not the whole disk. | 02:29 |

| rww | Gnea: well duh. Does anyone know how to make that "System restart required" icon go away without restarting the system? | 02:30 |
| Gnea | gofg: wrong, /dev/whatever is just the name of the devices, they aren't mount points | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | <somedrew> http://www.fs-driver.org works decently well.. but i always disable/unmount the linux volumes befor i exit windows. just to be safe | 02:30 |
| usser | Niki_: something like tcpdump -i eth0 -vv | 02:30 |
| jhonnyboy | can anyone help me install a theme? I am having trouble installing a theme on ubuntu and am getting errors | 02:31 |
| gofg | Where does it mount, then? | 02:31 |
| Gnea | gofg: mount points are an actual directory that the partition of the disk gets mounted to | 02:31 |
| Gnea | gofg: wherever. | 02:31 |
| dr_willis | gofg, can mount anywhere. :) You mount devices TO mountpoints | 02:31 |

| Gnea | rww: what runderwo said | 02:31 |
| somedrew | thankd dr_willis , the problems is with the encryption though. I the driver works great on normal partitions, but can't seem to open a mapped device | 02:31 |
| goffio | somedrew: i don't know about luks, but i've been able to access LVM/xfs and whatever using colinux under windows | 02:31 |
| gofg | I understand, but I have mounted my devices before now, not knowing this. Where did ubuntu mount them to? /media/[device name]? | 02:31 |
| goffio | (and ubuntu on it) | 02:31 |
| dr_willis | somedrew, no idea on that. | 02:31 |
| Gnea | gofg: as long as it's a directory, not a file. | 02:31 |
| somedrew | goffio: thanks | 02:31 |
| Gnea | gofg: that's usually where the automated ones go, yes. otherwise, they get specified in /etc/fstab | 02:32 |

| zashi | I did a net install on my friend's computer for kubuntu. Is there a meta-package or something to install a more complete desktop system? (sorry for the lame question, long time linux user, just not debian based distros) | 02:34 |
| outofthemadness | hey I'm trying to add syntax highlighting to gedit for another language. I have a pretty good understanding of how it works(have to create an xml file, and put it in some directory), I just don't know where to put it | 02:34 |
| Ikan | Has anyone here done a Windows Vista/Windows 7/Ubuntu Multiboot? | 02:35 |
| rww | zashi: install the kubuntu-desktop package | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | zashi: how do you mean "more complete"? | 02:35 |
| zashi | rww, thanks | 02:35 |
| softdav | i need someone who use tor | 02:35 |
| zashi | closer to what installing the kubuntu dvd would provide | 02:35 |
| Gnea | zashi: 'more complete'? | 02:35 |
| rww | runderwo: Yup. Looks like that plus deleting /var/run/reboot-required did it. Thanks :) | 02:35 |
| Gnea | zashi: aaah.. well that would probably install everything under the sun | 02:36 |
| goffio | zashi: i can think of ubuntustudio, ubuntu ultimate edition, and other "subdistros" is that what you mean? | 02:36 |
| Aeonis | I'm ran that command and my Ubuntu shut down to some kind of screen wit ha lot of >26 or something like that and wouldn't do anything else. | 02:36 |
| Gnea | goffio: no, he's talking about every last piece of software available on the dvd | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | zashi: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop gives you the exact same apps / system as the kubuntu dvd, if you log out of gnome, change your session to kde and log in, its identical in every way | 02:36 |
| Aeonis | Before, I just went to tell my computer to see the driver for my video card and then enable it. | 02:36 |
| ari_stress | morning all :) | 02:37 |
| Gnea | zashi: am I correct in what you're asking? | 02:37 |
| somedrew | outofthemadness: used to be ~/.gnome2/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs/ (gedit was using gtksouceview) should still be current, but not sure | 02:37 |
| lfaraone | How can I tell what the model of webcam is build into my lappy? (I'm grepping for drivers atm) | 02:37 |
| zashi | Gnea, close, but not quite. not /everything/ on the dvd is required | 02:38 |
| uberpenguin | bleh... how is ubuntu 8.04 setting video mode timing? there's nothing useful in the xorg.conf file | 02:38 |
| zashi | I think installing the *-desktop *-studio packages will do what I want | 02:38 |
| Gnea | zashi: you can open up the synaptic package manager and select what you'd like to install that way... | 02:38 |
| Adam_ | is there an expressgate equivilant for ubuntu? | 02:38 |
| runderwo | lfaraone: try lsusb -v | 02:38 |
| Gnea | zashi: those would install other desktop environments that you can choose from the session selector at login | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Adam_: whats it do? | 02:39 |
| rww | zashi: kubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal will, between them, install everything that would be installed by a regular Kubuntu desktop install. | 02:39 |
| Adam_ | it's a quickboot bios option that gets you into internet/skype like 5 seconds after powering on | 02:39 |
| zashi | rww, thanks. that about perfectly answers my original question. | 02:39 |
| Adam_ | its an option on asus motherboards for linux, just wanted to know if there was an alternative for non asus mobos on ubuntu | 02:40 |
| Aeonis | Before, I just went to tell my computer to see the driver for my video card and then enable it. | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Adam_: theres bios linux which is quite risky but puts the kernel and some modules in bios so your system boots faster | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Adam_: never heard of that | 02:40 |
| Adam_ | hmm | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Adam_, Are you talking about the new mb's with the onboard chip.. There is no alternative | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Adam_: sounds like its very specific to the hardware | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Adam_, most new boards in 2009 are supposed to be adding them | 02:41 |
| Adam_ | ah okay. | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Adam_: theres magnetic ram (i think its called that) coming soon which will act like an SSD on the mobo so will be really fast for boots and access | 02:42 |
| jbuncher | Can anyone tell me what exactly ubuntu runs (with gnome) that xubuntu doesn't that makes xubuntu/xfce "lighter weight"? I'm asking about background processes and such, rather than installing abiword/gnumeric instead of openoffice. | 02:42 |
| Adam_ | ActionParsnip: im looking forward to it, i saw expressgate in action today, preboot OS, was sexy | 02:43 |
| outofthemadness | somedrew: The gtksourceview directory isn't in gnome2.(not anymore, anyway) there is one in /usr/share , and I put it in there, and now it is an option in the syntax highlighting menu, but when I do that there is no highlighting, just plain text. Any ideas? | 02:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Adam_: just dont turn off the pc ;) | 02:43 |
| myk_robinson | what is the user and group for apache in Intrepid? | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | jbuncher, xubuntu dosent run all the gnome stuff. that whats make it lighter. install gnome on xubuntu and run gnome - and its the same. | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | jbuncher: gnome is just a fatter system, xfce apps are smaller in ram but offer slightly less ease of config in my experience | 02:44 |
| gecko_ | I'm getting this error after installing a theme... "The theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine is not installed" Can anyone please help me? | 02:44 |
| goffio | jbuncher: i think gnome alone is heavier than xfce coz its underlying libs | 02:44 |
| jbuncher | ActionParsnip: That was the explanation I gave a friend, though I guess I'm asking what specifically is "all the gnome stuff". A few examples would be sufficient. | 02:45 |
| Philippe1 | what's the best free game I can get for linux? | 02:45 |

| Claire2009 | hi - i have question - can you have 2nd HD In ubuntu storing data, then keep data on it, while you reinstall ubuntu on 1st HD? | 02:47 |
| jbuncher | ActionParsnip: the machine he's running on is a 2.66 GHz Celeron with 1 GB ram. Shouldn't that be enough to not have a big startup time difference? | 02:47 |
| somedrew | outofthemadness: try just creating the directories if they don't exist, the one in usr/share probably isn't set up for proper parsing | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | Claire2009, yes. you can. i do that all the time. I even keep /home on its own hd a lot of times | 02:48 |
| Bllasae | Tokie: Why did you buy it? It's free | 02:48 |
| iaindalton | Why can't I see the nimbus typeface family with xfontsel? I need the XFLD name of that typeface. | 02:48 |
| disappearedng | hey how do I know whether I am using madwifi or atheros? | 02:48 |
| Tokie | I meant I received it in the mail... Via free shipping it to my house. | 02:48 |
| Claire2009 | dr_willis - so is there any problems transferring data after? | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | jbuncher: i run similar but i like fluxbox as its clean and sleek, you could easily run a gnome desktop if you like gnome apps | 02:48 |
| R1cochet | Claire2009: no | 02:48 |
| Anacranom | is there any support here for compiling the latest kernel in 8.04 or 8.10? | 02:48 |

| disappearedng | temppy how do I check ? | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | Claire2009, why should there be? :) you may need to keep track of file ownership/permissions depending on the data | 02:49 |
| R1cochet | how do i get my internet connection settings to save so i dont have to reconfig after a restart? | 02:49 |
| Claire2009 | dr_willis - k. well, i just reconfig'd permissions on 2hd to my own username | 02:49 |
| R1cochet | i have ICS setup and on the server the settings revert to automatic after a restart | 02:49 |
| temppy | disappearedng: sudo lshw -c network | 02:49 |
| jbuncher | ActionParsnip: Thanks for hte info. I prefer gnome myself (my first 2 years of linux were with debian and fluxbox, a great way to learn!), but I've come to enjoy the "featured-ness" of ubuntu/gnome. I was just curious as to what isn't running in xubuntu/xfce that is in ubuntu/gnome that would make a big difference. | 02:50 |
| goffio | R1cochet: are you getting internet trough windoze ICS? | 02:50 |
| opera | !aptitude | 02:50 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 02:50 |

| Claire2009 | dr_willis - thanks for the info. so, basically when reinstalling ubuntu you just format 1st HD? | 02:50 |
| sin | I have 8.10 | 02:50 |

| ActionParsnip | jbuncher: try xfce, see what you think. Its worth a try at least. You may prefer it | 02:51 |
| pdelgallego | goffio, you are right thanks | 02:51 |
| runderwo | sin: if that doesn't work, go to a terminal, type dmesg, and look for possible hardware/driver errors. | 02:51 |

| disappearedng | temppy: what card driver is this then? pastebin.com/m783f212c | 02:52 |
| sin | runderwo: I did that rebooted I even uninstalled and installed wicd | 02:52 |
| jbuncher | whileimhere: depends on which version of ubuntu you have installed | 02:52 |
| Tokie | Does Ubuntu support .m4a audio file formats? | 02:52 |
| Claire2009 | recon69 - u here? | 02:52 |
| R1cochet | jbuncher: im on xubuntu and print setup is nice | 02:52 |
| iaindalton | Tokie: I can play them, but I've installed some packages that aren't default | 02:52 |
| whileimhere | I have 2.6 installed for GIMP but for some reason I keep thinking that it should be up to 3.0 now. | 02:52 |
| goffio | R1cochet: lemme get it right, it's the *server* what's loosing config between reboots? | 02:53 |
| temppy | disappearedng: iwl4965 | 02:53 |
| R1cochet | goffio: server and client are on xubuntu | 02:53 |
| dr_willis | Claire2009, yep | 02:53 |
| R1cochet | yea | 02:53 |
| temppy | As far as I can tell... | 02:53 |
| Claire2009 | dr_willis - thanks. | 02:53 |
| R1cochet | goffio: yea its the server | 02:53 |
| jbuncher | R1cochet, thanks for the info. I just remember there not being a nice "printers" config app for nice gui setup of the printers in xubuntu dapper. That may well have changed by now. | 02:53 |
| jbuncher | whileimhere: I don't think so, 2.6 is the latest version on gimp.org | 02:54 |
| Claire2009 | dr_willis - now, final question - will ubuntu remember the nautilis settings on 2nd hd when done reinstall? | 02:54 |
| R1cochet | jbuncher: very nice app now | 02:54 |
| sin | runderwo: My drivers ath5k has errors gain calibration timeout and can't reset hardware any ideas | 02:54 |
| Claire2009 | dr_willis - also, do i need to keep same username? | 02:54 |
| temppy | sin: are you using 8.10? have you tried LBM? | 02:54 |
| disappearedng | temppy thx | 02:54 |
| Tokie | I selected the install option after I inserted the Ubuntu live disc, and now it is at a screen with some pretty sweet dark red/orange/black abstract image, and I can see my mouse, and move it around, is it loading all up? | 02:55 |
| whileimhere | Thanks jbuncher | 02:55 |
| sin | temppy: Yes I'm using 8.10. What's LBM? | 02:55 |
| goffio | R1cochet: if you have ICS by configuring netfilter/iptables, it should keep your config. But to make sure you can put the iptables stuff on a script and call it from /etc/rc.local , it will run at every boot | 02:55 |
| temppy | disappearedng: np, thats neither atheros, nor madwifi. Its from intel, and it looks like it has a native driver. I've heard intel is good about that on linux | 02:55 |
| runderwo | sin: that sounds bad. did this happen after upgrading your kernel? | 02:56 |
| R1cochet | goffio: the server was setup using firestarter but i dont have it on autostart | 02:56 |
| temppy | sin: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid that package may contain better drivers for ath5k | 02:56 |
| Area300 | can anyone tell me why when i click Detect Displays it dosnt tell me anything ? | 02:56 |

| Anacranom | lstarnes, but 8.04 is still supported, and has 2.6.24 | 03:01 |
| lstarnes | Aggrav8d: check that you have working nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf | 03:01 |
| sin | ok | 03:01 |
| Aeonis | How can I get my video driver to list as a propietary driver as it did before? | 03:01 |
| Aggrav8d | lstarnes - nope. search just has nameserver 127.0.0.1 and search my domain name. | 03:02 |
| biouser | No package 'gtk+-2.0' found | 03:02 |
| lstarnes | biouser: look for libgtk2.0 | 03:03 |
| lstarnes | Aggrav8d: add some other nameservers to that. Your local DNS server is likely set to use some external ones that you can use in /etc/resolv.conf | 03:03 |

| mrwizard | but seriously, I'm having trouble with the menubar, screenshot is at http://thar.us/view/2404 | 03:13 |
| oholiab | what's ps reader is ubuntu shipped with? | 03:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | mrwizard: whats the problem? | 03:13 |
| trojatra | How do I uninstall something I installed from source? (I still have the source directory) | 03:14 |
| mrwizard | see the screenshot | 03:14 |
| coky | problem solved after restart | 03:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | mrwizard: i lookedat it, i still don't see a problem | 03:14 |
| mrwizard | there's a big blank space between the time and the little whatever they're called | 03:14 |
| oholiab | trojatra: I think "make uninstall" and then the program name | 03:14 |
| mrwizard | where update shows up | 03:14 |
| oholiab | trojatra: I may have made that up though | 03:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mrwizard, Looks like another guys after he tried to replace the ubuntu start bar icon | 03:14 |
| bthompson | hey guys i have a sound blaster sb0090 and I can't seem to get the microphone working...it works in windows...just not ubuntu....any ideas...i can play sound just not record with sound record or audacity | 03:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | mrwizard: beside it you'll sea little "line".. right click it, unlike it, and move it to where you want it, its called "notification area" | 03:14 |
| Charles0 | Alright, thanks for pointing me to the documentation - I don't know whether I should choose 'open' or 'shared' as my authentication type? Does it matter.. ? | 03:15 |
| mrwizard | IndyGunFreak: thanks! | 03:15 |
| darius__ | hey folks, getting errors on install - input output error ubuntu, anyone able to assist | 03:15 |
| oholiab | bthompson: have you turned it on in alsamixer? | 03:15 |
| runderwo | Charles0: it's usually 'open' | 03:15 |
| trojatra | oholiab, nah, that's not it, heh. | 03:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | mrwizard: i meant unlock it, not unlike it, but i guess you got the message | 03:15 |
| mrwizard | indeed | 03:15 |
| mrwizard | does the update notification area thing only appear when there's updates? | 03:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | mrwizard: yes | 03:16 |
| Area300 | ok guys i am almost there .... i have 2 nvidia cards and 4 monitors. one of my monitors is saying its 1024 x 768 but rest are 12xx x 1024 that one monitor dosnt allow me to even manualy set it to 12xx x 1024. they are all the same monitors ... any suggestions | 03:16 |
| oholiab | trojatra: heh, sorry :P I should really keep guesses to myself | 03:16 |
| woody86 | My Firefox says it's using the en-GB language, does anyone know how to change it to en_us? It doesn't show that en_us is installed? | 03:16 |
| mrwizard | IndyGunFreak: thanks! | 03:16 |
| sin | temppy:I'm still getting the same error mesg | 03:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | mrwizard: or you can check manually, by going to system/admin/update manager | 03:16 |
| Charles0 | Ok thank you - I'll restart now and follow the instructions here.. hopefully it'll work :D | 03:16 |
| oholiab | trojatra: it's because I've been coding in perl, where guessing is so frequently rewarded | 03:16 |
| trojatra | :P | 03:16 |
| trojatra | How do I uninstall something I installed from source? (I still have the source directory) | 03:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | trojatra: most programs, cd into the source directory, sudo make uninstall when its done, delet ethe source directory | 03:17 |
| trojatra | Heh, forgot sudo for that, thanks. | 03:18 |

| Vulcanis | does anyone here own a thinkpad, and happen to be running 7.10? | 03:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | Vulcanis: just state your question.. | 03:19 |
| bthompson | i have microphone under plaback..and then under recording i have microphone capture... | 03:20 |
| Vulcanis | Middlemouse scroll problems | 03:20 |
| Area300 | ok ... one more question ... why cant i get 32bit color out of ubuntu but same hardware does 32bit in win | 03:20 |
| Vulcanis | but its such an obscure middlemouse | 03:20 |
| oholiab | bthompson: definitely got volume up and not muted then... that's usually the problem with my mic when it doesn't work | 03:20 |
| Vulcanis | already tried all of the suggested xorg.conf settings google brings up | 03:20 |
| bthompson | oholiab, which one do you use playback tab or recording tab.. | 03:20 |
| Aeonis | I did a lspci and see that I have a VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] | 03:20 |
| oholiab | bthompson: in alsamixer? | 03:21 |
| jbuncher | Area300: The 24 bit color in ubuntu is the same as 32bit in win, I think it's really 24 bits of color with 8 bits of either alpha or b/w, not sure which. | 03:21 |
| Aeonis | How do I enable this if it doesn't show up? | 03:21 |
| coky | how to enable middle mouse buttton? | 03:21 |

| BinaryBoy000 | Hi. I'm having an issue with firefox 3.0.5 Flash has stopped working completely. I cannot watch any youtube videos at all. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling flash, but it's still not working. I am using the latest version of firefox and im using 8.10 x64. What can I do to fix this? | 03:22 |
| bthompson | oholiab, or i mean right click and go to open volume control | 03:22 |
| Aeonis | Thank you runderwo | 03:22 |
| Tidus | BinaryBoy000: you'll need to install nspluginwrapper before you install flash player | 03:23 |
| BinaryBoy000 | really? | 03:23 |
| Tidus | allows 32 bit plugins to run on 64 bit browser | 03:23 |
| BinaryBoy000 | what does the nspluginwrapper do? | 03:23 |
| bthompson | oholiab, i takes me to screen called pulse audio | 03:23 |
| BinaryBoy000 | oh | 03:23 |
| Mal | I'm guessing no one here can help with safesquid? | 03:23 |
| BinaryBoy000 | hm | 03:23 |
| BinaryBoy000 | lemme try..i'll brb | 03:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !chroot | 03:23 |
| Aeonis | ill work on this for now | 03:23 |
| ubottu | chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) | 03:23 |
| jrib | Tidus: nspluginwrapper is automatically installed with flashplugin-nonfree | 03:23 |
| oholiab | bthompson: what, when you type alsamixer? o.o | 03:23 |
| jrib | Mal: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you | 03:24 |
| coky | jack_sparrow: the pages is loading | 03:24 |
| Tidus | jrib: it's been my experience that it doesn't auto-install | 03:24 |
| coky | thanks for the info | 03:24 |
| jrib | Tidus: it does, for a few versions now | 03:24 |
| Mal | ty jrib | 03:24 |
| bthompson | oholiab, it says also mixer v1.0.17 card pulse audio...which is not correct should be audigy sb0090 | 03:24 |
| oholiab | bthompson: are any of the bars empty with an "MM" at the bottome? | 03:25 |
| oholiab | and if so, which ones? | 03:25 |
| bthompson | oholiab, no | 03:25 |
| BinaryBoy000 | still not working Tidus | 03:25 |

| oholiab | bthompson: you'll have to ask the channel again and see if anyone else can help | 03:26 |

| Charles7 | How would I test that? At an earlier stage I told it to connect to my network and it came up with a notification saynig I needed the WEP passphrase.. so I assumed that means its working somewhere? (sorry I can't be more specific - have to reboot to windows to use the net) | 03:33 |

| IndyGunFreak | CarlFK1: what have you done to try and get that device to work, ? | 03:37 |
| runderwo | linux_guy: you have to set it up in /etc/network/interfaces | 03:37 |
| usser | dano_: make a symbolic link | 03:37 |
| jrib | biouser: see if the ekiga documentation lists the deps you need. If it's the same as libpt in the repos, then those versions look to old so you probably have to build that too. | 03:38 |
| biouser | !ptlib | 03:38 |

| neil_d | my computer crashed in the middle of an update, now I get the message "Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2 No such file or directory)" what do I do? | 03:40 |
| grkblood13 | before i switch over to ubuntu i was wondering if ubuntu releases security patches and where i can get them if they do | 03:40 |
| Mal | choot? | 03:40 |
| runderwo | rogermudd: /tmp is. What I'm saying is that you can create another folder, but using /tmp as an example. | 03:40 |
| runderwo | Mal: sudo | 03:40 |
| Mal | haha | 03:40 |
| jrib | grkblood13: update-manager automatically informs you of them and then you click "update" | 03:40 |
| Mal | yeah I know that one | 03:40 |
| zc00gii | mal: runs it as root | 03:40 |
| Mal | got it | 03:41 |
| rogermudd | runderwo: I've tried that, but it doesn't apply permissions to files dumped into that folder at a later date. Only to existing files. | 03:41 |
| grkblood13 | jrib: cn u install them any other way? like if my PC is connected to a secure network that doesnt have access to the internet | 03:41 |
| jrib | rogermudd: ACLs or change everyone's umask to give group write permissions and set setgid on a directory | 03:41 |
| Mal | <Jack_Sparrow> !chroot | 03:42 |
| Mal | <Aeonis> ill work on this for now | 03:42 |
| Mal | <ubottu> chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) | 03:42 |
| FloodBot1 | Mal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:42 |
| rogermudd | Does the directory have to be outside /home? | 03:42 |
| Mal | ^^what I was looking for | 03:42 |
| jrib | rogermudd: no | 03:42 |
| Mal | sorry | 03:42 |
| neil_d | when I list the file I get "-????????? ? ? ? ? ? status" :( what do I do? | 03:42 |
| Charles7 | :s Ok - so on Ubuntu is there no way for it to automatically detect wireless networks in range?? | 03:42 |
| runderwo | neil_d: is it on a network volume? | 03:42 |
| neil_d | runderwo: no! local HDD | 03:43 |

| beckster | hey guys so i'm dual booting ubuntu and mac os x, any ideas on how I can get my touchpad to fully sync with Ubuntu? | 03:43 |
| runderwo | neil_d: have you allowed fsck to run? | 03:43 |
| Chaorain | when I press<ctrl><alt>down I just get a line of screens but I want the 3d cube | 03:43 |
| jrib | grkblood13: you would probably need to grab them from some other computer that did have internet | 03:43 |
| jrib | !offline | grkblood13 | 03:43 |
| ubottu | grkblood13: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ (now with Intrepid support) | 03:43 |
| rogermudd | jrib: any documentation for this? | 03:43 |
| Andre_Gondim | does anybody help me with this menu.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/105409/ what is wrong? | 03:43 |
| runderwo | Charles7: NetworkManager will find the networks within range and make them available in the drop-down, unless something is wrong. | 03:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | Charles7: if there's networks in your range, it shoudl see them, assuming your device is working | 03:43 |
| neil_d | runderwo: I haven't stoped it, is there a way to get it to run? | 03:43 |
| usser | rogermudd: the umasks are set in /etc/profile | 03:43 |
| runderwo | neil_d: do you know what disk device /var is on? | 03:44 |
| jrib | rogermudd: I don't know of any offhand. google 'linux acl' or read 'man chmod' I guess | 03:44 |
| usser | rogermudd: umask 022 means default create permissions are 755 it is essentiall reversed | 03:44 |
| jrib | rogermudd: 'man setfacl' too | 03:44 |
| neil_d | runderwo: yes | 03:44 |
| Andre_Gondim | does anybody help me with this menu.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/105409/ what is wrong? installed by wubi | 03:44 |
| mankash | IndyGunFreak: it is isl3890 | 03:44 |
| usser | rogermudd: so if u want to give the owner and group all rights set it to 002 | 03:44 |
| Charles7 | I see, thanks.. So if I'm using Windows now, is there any place I can go to find out what hardware I have exactly and then download files that will install the correct driver on ubuntu? | 03:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | mankash: that tells me nothing.. whats the exact output that lspci gives of your wireless device | 03:45 |
| victorbrca | does anyone know if it's safe to 'chmod -R 700 /etc/rc*' on Ubuntu? | 03:45 |
| rogermudd | usser et al: And this will affect all future files too? | 03:45 |
| winmutt | i bought one of these http://arduino.cc/ | 03:45 |
| trinitronx | anyone know how to get debsign/debuild to pay attention to the DEBSIGN_KEYID environment var? | 03:45 |
| Chaorain | when I press<ctrl><alt>down I just get a line of screens but I want the 3d cube | 03:46 |
| usser | rogermudd: yes but it will not be bound to one directory, umask applies to every file a user creates | 03:46 |
| Aeonis | hey runderwo - this doesnt cover 8.10 | 03:46 |
| neil_d | runderwo: the /var is part of / and that is on a raid 1->lvm | 03:46 |
| ruffles_ | chaorain: press ctl+alt+left | 03:46 |
| rogermudd | usser: Not exactly what I was hoping to do, though. I want to keep individual user directories private. | 03:47 |
| Scunizi_ | ah hem.. if I did a bone head move and accidently revoked my pgp key on my machine but haven't updated any key servers .. is there a way to reinstate my keys? I have files for both the public and private keys saved | 03:47 |
| Chaorain | I thought I saw a picture where you could see the top? | 03:47 |
| ryanhaigh1 | hi all, just moved my ~/ to a new partition and everything is working EXCEPT for my trash, the icon on the desktop shows empty trash, opening it in nautilus (using gnome btw) shows it as empty, browsing to ~/.local/share/Trash/files shows all my trash. anyone have any ideas what could be going on, im guessing this is a nautilus issue? | 03:47 |
| ruffles_ | chaorain: go private | 03:47 |
| Chaorain | how? | 03:47 |
| runderwo | neil_d: you have to tell it to force a fsck next time you reboot | 03:48 |
| runderwo | neil_d: shutdown -F -r should do it | 03:48 |
| neil_d | runderwo: I figured it would be something like that, but how do you do it. | 03:48 |
| runderwo | neil_d: trying to find out specifically. | 03:49 |
| usser | rogermudd: they will be you only modifying group and owner, not everyone. every user has his own primary group to which all files he creates default, now i dont know about setgid that someone suggested but i think what it does is essentially forces newly created files to certain other group different from user's primary | 03:49 |
| runderwo | neil_d: or, touch /forcefsck | 03:49 |
| runderwo | neil_d: then reboot | 03:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | mankash: did you figure out what chipset you're using? | 03:50 |
| neil_d | runderwo: shutdown doesn't appear to have a -F option | 03:50 |
| Area300 | ok i need help ... i am so close ... i have one monitor left that isnt working right... can somone take a look at my xorg.conf file and tell me if you see the problem ? http://pastebin.com/f1f09d999 | 03:50 |
| Area300 | I have one monitor that is showing up as 1024x 768 and cant change | 03:50 |
| _MattB | What is a good program to rip dvds in intrepid? (cmd line only) | 03:51 |
| Anacranom | Scunizi, i'd say you're screwed but i'm a n00b, so i'd start new and try a rescue ;-) | 03:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Area300: i always just use nvidia-settings to set the resolutions on my monitors, works fine | 03:51 |
| jrib | _MattB: dvdbackup | 03:51 |
| runderwo | neil_d: or, touch /forcefsck | 03:51 |
| usser | rogermudd: that was kinda unclear :) | 03:51 |
| _MattB | jrib, thx, i'll check it out | 03:51 |
| ruffles_ | chaorain:look for the private message bellow | 03:51 |
| Area300 | <IndyGunFreak> i have 4 monitors | 03:52 |
| biouser | The following packages are BROKEN: ubuntu-desktop | 03:52 |
| trinitronx | Scunizi: I think if you have a backed up ~/.gnupg folder, you can just remove the pubring.gpg/secring.gpg and replace with the old ones | 03:52 |
| neil_d | runderwo: having a hard time find forcecheck file | 03:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Area300: ok, well, thats irrelevant i would think you can still set the res in nvidia-settings | 03:52 |
| rogermudd | usser: I'll give it a shot. Have you done this? I can't believe it's not baked into the OS. I know it's on the Ideastorm (?) web site. | 03:52 |
| trinitronx | Scunizi: if you don't have those backed up... you might be screwd | 03:53 |
| ruffles_ | m0sh3 | 03:53 |
| linxeh | when is the next LTS release due ? | 03:54 |
| usser | rogermudd: theres these permissions on every file in linux: owner - the user that creates the file, group - his primary group, and other - everybody else umask of 002 gives owner and group read/write/execute permissions on every file he creates, and setgid sets the default group id of a directory to a group that you create and of which all users are part of. so that any member of that group has all permissions in that directory | 03:54 |
| Area300 | <IndyGunFreak> yes you are right that makes it very easy. the problam i am haveing is this. the resolution 1280x1024 does not show up for this one monitor. it is the same as the others. oddly enouf it is monitor 3. | 03:54 |
| usser | rogermudd: i tried something like that yes | 03:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | Area300: hmm, that is strange | 03:54 |
| Area300 | <IndyGunFreak> it dosnt even give me a manual option to change it and only Hz it will run at is 60 | 03:54 |
| Area300 | <IndyGunFreak> yes very. | 03:54 |
| usser | rogermudd: only i didnt use setgid, i simply set my users primary group to the one they are part of. | 03:54 |
| LL | How do I know for sure that the recommended video drivers are activated? Using "Hardware Drivers" I'm unable to activate the recommended driver (or so it seems). Nvidia accelerated graphics driver (version 173) [Recommended] | 03:55 |
| usser | rogermudd: ie user1's and user's primary group is CompUsers for example | 03:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | LL: why can you not activate it? | 03:55 |
| Area300 | <IndyGunFreak> i am new to linux. this leads me to bleave i need a second set of eyes looking over my xorg.conf . It very well could be a mestake I have made getting two 8600gt's to work at all lol | 03:55 |
| usser | rogermudd: sorry im not good at explaining stuff | 03:55 |
| LL | I don' tknow why I can't activate it. It doesn't activate... | 03:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | Area300: i wish i was more familiar w/ xorg files, i'd help.. but i'd not be much use to you | 03:56 |
| SingAlong | HI all! | 03:56 |
| cs70wbd | hi. My name is Hung. I just have a little question about ubuntu. I edited the ~/.profile to include two variables that I want whenever I log on. The variables are basically the path of about 8 folders. After I changed the file, I logged off, and then logged back on. When I get back on, the folder's colors changed, and the kde's menu at the top look weird. Restarting worked, but this keeps happening. Any ideas? Thank you for your time. | 03:56 |
| Area300 | <IndyGunFreak> ok. thanks for trying | 03:56 |
| SingAlong | I tried install the Aurora GTK Engine from the downloaded pacvkage | 03:56 |
| dano_ | Hey all, I installed a new theme on my ubuntu, and whenever i run synaptic it follows my old theme, but all other applications follow my new one. Does anyone know why this happens? | 03:56 |
| Area300 | does anyone else have any ideas that may be of use ? | 03:57 |
| X-722 | yo IGF :) | 03:57 |
| runderwo | neil_d: or, touch /forcefsck <-- | 03:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | X-722: ?.. hello | 03:57 |
| LL | clicking the activate button, next it asks for my password, and finally it shows that I still need to activate... | 03:57 |
| runderwo | not forcecheck, and you don't need to find it, because it is created when you issue the command | 03:57 |
| X-722 | <- AR-Jim | 03:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | oh..lol | 03:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | forgot. | 03:57 |
| X-722 | hehehe | 03:57 |
| ryanhaigh1 | hi all, just moved my ~/ to a new partition and everything is working EXCEPT for my trash, the icon on the desktop shows empty trash, opening it in nautilus (using gnome btw) shows it as empty, browsing to ~/.local/share/Trash/files shows all my trash. anyone have any ideas what could be going on, im guessing this is a nautilus issue? | 03:57 |
| usser | dano_: synaptic uses root theme | 03:57 |
| SingAlong | I did ./configure after untaring Aurora GTK Engine. IT worked. BUt later when I do "sudo make install". The error says "no rule make 'install' " | 03:57 |
| usser | dano_: which is different from yours | 03:57 |
| rogermudd | usser: No. I appreciate the help. I've been trying to get this going for a while. Can never seem to get it going, though. It's a necessity, however, as I share the machine with my wife and she would like to have access to photos and such. No need to have copies in each user's directory. Again, wish it was baked into the OS. Windows and OSX do it out of the box. I think it should be a priority for Ubuntu. | 03:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | LL are you sure its not telling you you need to restart after activating it? | 03:58 |
| dano_ | usser, thanks, do you know how i can make my root theme match me user theme | 03:58 |
| caboose-sm | can someone help me with partioning for the installer | 03:59 |
| LL | IGF: it says: This driver not activated on the left and on the right there is a green button. Should I just reboot and see what happens? | 03:59 |
| SingAlong | anyone please? | 03:59 |
| Joker_-_ | How do you get the numpad to work in ubuntu? | 03:59 |
| LL | use your fingers | 03:59 |
| LL | :) | 03:59 |
| grendal_prime | nono | 03:59 |
| SingAlong | what does this error mean "*** No rule to make target `install' " | 03:59 |
| Anacranom | usser, need to make a common group and add all needed to it, set umask how you like but o dont personally care for 022 on a shared issue, 007 is my pref, then chown the common with user:common-group and then chmod that dir with 770 | 03:59 |
| grendal_prime | use the CORRECT fingers | 04:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | LL: that would be my suggestion, most of the time when you activate a restricted driver, you have to restart | 04:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Joker_-_, Is this a regular keyboard | 04:00 |
| LL | I am sure I have to restart, but I was expecting more of a helpful hint than absolutely nothing! See you guys in about 5 minutes. | 04:00 |
| Joker_-_ | Jack_Sparrow: not your usual keyboard no, it's a USB Logitech G15 (gaming keyboard) | 04:00 |
| usser | rogermudd: thats not going to change anytime soon though, since those are unix permissions and changing that model would break the POSIX compatibility | 04:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Joker_-_, Ok, then no | 04:00 |
| Joker_-_ | Jack_Sparrow: then what no? | 04:01 |
| Joker_-_ | Jack_Sparrow: there is no way to get that numpad to work? | 04:01 |
| usser | Anacranom: yea but new files created in that directory would be chowned to the primary group of each user not the common one, aren't they? | 04:01 |
| rogermudd | usser: OSX does it with a UNIX foundation. Should be possible. | 04:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Joker_-_, Then.. since it is usb logitec,, No, I dont have an answer | 04:01 |
| danfg | my keyboard layout keeps resetting, i have to install another one and remove it to "snap" it back to work. what's up with that? | 04:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !keys | 04:01 |
| ubottu | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 04:01 |
| Anacranom | usser, correct | 04:01 |
| Joker_-_ | Jack_Sparrow: k, ill google ont hat, thx for the help, you pointed me in the right direction | 04:01 |
| ushimitsudoki | Joker_-_: I have G15 numpad works fine nothing special is required | 04:02 |
| ushimitsudoki | Joker_-_: sometimes you have to press NumLock on/off even though the light is on ... | 04:02 |
| Joker_-_ | ushimitsudoki: strange, I've done nothing special... it's a fresh 8.10 install | 04:02 |
| ushimitsudoki | Joker_-_: that's all | 04:02 |
| Joker_-_ | ushimitsudoki: wow, true | 04:02 |
| usser | rogermudd: osx is one mess of a unix, case insentivity is one big issue | 04:02 |
| Scunizi_ | Joker_-_, does the keypad act like a mouse.. does pushing any of the outside numbers and hold them make the mouse move? | 04:02 |
| trinitronx | rogermudd: if you are trying to share files between users, add those users to a group, and then change group permissions to read (or read/write if you need both) | 04:02 |
| Anacranom | usser, thats why you set at the directory level | 04:02 |
| Joker_-_ | ushimitsudoki: wow... so stupid of me, the numpad was lighted, but still it wasnt working, pressed it twice and poof | 04:02 |
| Joker_-_ | ushimitsudoki: it just works | 04:02 |
| usser | Anacranom: with setgid? | 04:02 |
| ushimitsudoki | Joker_-_: yeah, it's a bit of a annoyance | 04:02 |
| sidney | when i backup a file in the terminal where is it stored | 04:03 |
| Joker_-_ | ushimitsudoki: I have no prob with a minor annoyance, as long as it works in the end ;) | 04:03 |
| Joker_-_ | ushimitsudoki: thanks! | 04:03 |
| ushimitsudoki | Joker_-_: quite welcome | 04:03 |
| test | testing 123 ... | 04:03 |
| Joker_-_ | test: works | 04:03 |
| test | yeah | 04:03 |
| Area300 | ok i need help ... i am so close ... i have one monitor left that isnt working right... can somone take a look at my xorg.conf file and tell me if you see the problem ? http://pastebin.com/f1f09d999 | 04:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sidney, What comand are you using, and what folder are you in when you run it | 04:03 |
| sidney | sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.original | 04:04 |
| Anacranom | usser, going beyond me now, i just do for a common share here, .. | 04:04 |
| test | i am stupid in IRC channel ... | 04:04 |
| rogermudd | trinitronx: The issue then becomes all files created at a future date. They get different permissions applied (more restricitive). Ultimately, I think ACLs are the issue. | 04:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot > test | 04:04 |
| ubottu | test, please see my private message | 04:04 |
| sidney | Jack_Sparrow: sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.original | 04:04 |
| danfg | how do i set the keyboard layout for the console (as in outside of gnome)? | 04:04 |
| trinitronx | rogermudd: simply use the "chown -R user:group folder" to Recursively change file ownership on all files within the directory | 04:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sidney, It should be in /etc/samba | 04:05 |
| macman | anyways guys .. my laptop is dying in 15 mins of being on .. im thinking it is my nvidia card .. there a way to disable it and still have video / regular graphics | 04:05 |
| test | May i ask a question ?? | 04:05 |
| caboose-sm | can anyone help me with partitioning in the installation processs | 04:05 |
| RDove | macman: is there a secondary graphic card on the box? | 04:05 |
| Anacranom | trinitronx, does that apply to future saves to that dir? | 04:05 |
| trinitronx | rogermudd: then use "chmod -R g+rw folder" to recursively change group permissions to read/write | 04:05 |
| sidney | Jack_Sparrow: when i edit it just in case it dosent work | 04:05 |
| trinitronx | rogermudd: for future saves, you need to set a umask | 04:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 04:06 |
| RDove | test: you can ask anytime you want | 04:06 |
| test | May i ask a question ??? | 04:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 04:06 |
| test | ok > RDove | 04:06 |
| rogermudd | trinitronx: Every time I add files? That would probably work, but it seems to be a bit of hassle. I know that sounds lazy... | 04:06 |
| sidney | ok here goes | 04:06 |
| test | ok > Jack_Sparrow | 04:06 |
| macman | RDove, i don't know | 04:06 |
| Scunizi_ | ah hem.. I did a bone head move and accidentally revoked my pgp key on my machine but haven't updated any key servers .. is there a way to reinstate my keys? I have files for both the public and private keys saved | 04:06 |
| MrPockets | is there a place for Ubuntu installs on Macs? | 04:06 |
| caboose-sm | i am creating a new partition for ubuntu, can someone tell me whether i should use primary or logical ?? | 04:06 |
| MrPockets | primary caboose-sm | 04:07 |
| Scunizi_ | MrPockets, the harddrive | 04:07 |
| caboose-sm | and what file system should i use ? | 04:07 |
| MrPockets | caboose-sm, EXT3 | 04:07 |
| caboose-sm | ty | 04:07 |
| test | can i [ su root ] in UBUNTU ? | 04:07 |
| MrPockets | Scunizi I got her running, but i'm having touch pad issues, and sound issues | 04:07 |
| Anacranom | trinitronx, how do you set a umask on a single directory? | 04:07 |
| MrPockets | test su - | 04:07 |
| Area300 | test: yes | 04:07 |
| darius__ | can u install linux from another source other than the one you booted in on? i.e. an xternal usb hd | 04:07 |
| RDove | macman: you can use text mode... as long as you just disable to the graphics portion. if you disable the entire card, your monitor might not display | 04:07 |
| caboose-sm | MrPockets: what about mount point | 04:08 |
| MrPockets | caboose-sm, for the ease of your first install, use / | 04:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sidney, cp /etc/samba/smb.conf ~/Desktop/samba.conf.orig.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) | 04:08 |
| test | just type [ su ] right ? > Area300 > MrPockets | 04:08 |
| pwhipp | test: yes but you should use sudo if at all possible | 04:08 |
| Area300 | test: su root .... enter password | 04:08 |
| MrPockets | test | 04:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | test, Not the best choice.. | 04:08 |
| MrPockets | type su - | 04:08 |
| danfg | how do i set keyboard layout for console? | 04:08 |
| peepsalot | what package(s) is responsible for automounting usb connected drives? | 04:08 |
| trinitronx | rogermudd: set in your ~/.bashrc a line "umask 002" | 04:08 |
| test | [su -] ? | 04:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | test, Sudo SU: Instead of sudo su please suggest sudo -i as properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell. | 04:08 |
| caboose-sm | MrPockets, i have a second OS on my first partition, if i use the / mount point will that run fine ? | 04:09 |
| MrPockets | yes | 04:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !noroot > Area300 | 04:09 |
| ubottu | Area300, please see my private message | 04:09 |
| usser | rogermudd: yea gid bit works | 04:09 |
| caboose-sm | okay thks | 04:09 |
| MrPockets | what you're doing, is telling it to install all of ubuntus directories to this partition | 04:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !noroot | 04:09 |

| rogermudd | trinitronx: Won't that affect all files created thereafter? | 04:09 |
| caboose-sm | oh okay that explains it better | 04:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | test, sudo or sudo -i to hold it for a session | 04:09 |
| usser | rogermudd: just tested it, so basically create a group, add all your users, change mask to 002 or 007 | 04:09 |
| MrPockets | caboose-sm, when you get more advanced, and want to set /var or /boot to seperate partitions, this is what these other options are for | 04:10 |
| test | What happen it said [ su: Authentication failure] ??? | 04:10 |
| Makuseru | Hi, i seem to be having a problem. Im having resolution problems, and in the past ive always used "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to set my resolution. But this time when i tried that command it started up fine, went though a few of the first steps, and then it got to the keyboard setup, after the keyboard setup finished it just closed (instead of going to the next step which is graphics configuration). What would cause it to skip all | 04:10 |
| Makuseru | these steps and just terminate after the keyboard steup, and how could i go about fixing this? | 04:10 |
| MrPockets | test you ever set a root password? | 04:10 |
| trinitronx | rogermudd: yes, that should take care of all files created by your user... it will mask off the last bit (the "others" permissions to only r--). Make sure for security reasons you don't set root's umask to that! | 04:10 |
| RDove | peepsalot theres a program called automount | 04:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | test Please setup root access as I showed you | 04:10 |
| usser | rogermudd: run a file manager with sudo, find your dir go to properties -> permissions, change primary group of that dir to the one common to all users and set gid bit | 04:10 |
| usser | rogermudd: that should do it | 04:10 |
| caboose-sm | MrPockets, i am getting an error for not picking a swapspace, whats that about ? | 04:10 |
| test | i do not know :) > MrPockets | 04:11 |
| test | how? > Jack_Sparrow ? | 04:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | test, sudo or sudo -i to hold it for a session | 04:11 |
| rogermudd | usser and trinitronx: Thanks for the help. I'll give it a shot in the morning. But first, off to sleep ;-) | 04:11 |
| test | OH YES!!! i did it !!! > Jack_Sparrow | 04:12 |
| darius__ | if I install 32 bit version | 04:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rogermudd, gksudo is required for gui apps like file managers | 04:12 |
| caboose-sm | MrPockets, i am getting an error for not picking a swapspace, whats that about ? | 04:12 |
| wangyong | hiiii | 04:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rogermudd, gksudo is required for gui apps like file managers gksudo nautilus etc | 04:12 |

| MrPockets | caboose-sm, yes | 04:12 |
| MrPockets | do you know what Page Files are (or virtual RAM ) ? | 04:13 |
| caboose-sm | yeah | 04:13 |
| MrPockets | thats what SWAP is | 04:13 |
| pwhipp | I'm reinstalling 8.10 - I have the iso I downloaded when it was released. Is it worth downloading a new iso or should I just install the one I have and pull down the updates? | 04:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | test, np | 04:13 |
| MrPockets | so you're going to want to make a 1-2 gig partition for SWAP | 04:13 |
| caboose-sm | the minimum i can do is 8 i thinl | 04:13 |
| darius__ | if I install32 bit version, and want to install 64 bit later, can I just install over the 32 bit? | 04:13 |

| test | [passwd: password updated successfully] > MrPockets | 04:16 |

| MrPockets | test thats good, but like Jack_Sparrow said, you shouldn't be using root really | 04:16 |
| citizen | noooooo..! | 04:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | test, That is strongly not advised | 04:16 |
| trinitronx | yup, it's considered bad practice to run as root | 04:17 |
| test | ic | 04:17 |
| MrPockets | test | 04:17 |
| test | ok > Jack_Sparrow | 04:17 |
| MrPockets | instead, just run the shit you need to run as root by typing sudo before hand.. | 04:17 |
| pentaside | In order to run a 64 bit operating system, i just need a 64 bit processor right? | 04:18 |

| tenang | how do I download only the past version of wine I think its wine version 1.18 | 04:32 |
| thewayofzen | it worked fine up until an hour when nothing would boot at all.. a reinstall has fixed the boot but now its got no drivers for it (she bought it second hand) | 04:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | Area300: whats amazing, is how well it works, considering linux gets very little co-operation from vendors | 04:32 |

| IndyGunFreak | Area300: windows sucks, and ther'es not a vendor out there that doesn't make a windows driver. | 04:33 |

| IndyGunFreak | AndyIB: you'll need it | 04:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | !downgrade | AndyIB | 04:46 |
| ubottu | AndyIB: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 04:46 |
| AndyIB | I know, I know. | 04:46 |
| |_ocke | he's got an athlon x2 64 with a nvidia 8400 or 8600 forget which | 04:46 |
| tenang | I mean the boot up screen where you wood see windows xp logo and you see ubuntu logo takes like 1-2 minutes | 04:46 |
| AndyIB | But I've got to do something, no sound and sketchy loadtimes all over the place is not for me. | 04:46 |
| LL | So, what do I do if I can't activate the recommended drivers through Hardware Drivers? | 04:46 |
| tenang | with windows it took like 10 seconds | 04:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | tenang: 1-2min?.. geez.. mine is usually complete booted in about 30-40sec.. i timed it yesterday out of curiosity | 04:46 |
| AndyIB | so it's back to 8.04 | 04:46 |
| Ikan | fsck.ext3: group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks... Resize inode not valid. Recreate <y>? jken146? | 04:47 |
| jbuncher | tenang: mine is a bit faster than that, about 30-40 seconds before I can log in | 04:47 |
| RDove | L3Tum: some guy has the same problem, he mentions "Does it happen if you stop bonono-activation-server and evolution-data-server before the new login?".... apparently they killed those processes and it stopped? | 04:47 |
| tenang | yah I mean I no 1 gig isn't much ram but seriously what do I need to change here lol | 04:47 |
| danfg | how do i set a custom keyboard layout for the console? | 04:47 |
| tritium | tenang: that's not normal. Boot time is far less than that on the average install. | 04:47 |
| sidney | this is entirely too much reading to do something that should be simple | 04:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | AndyIB: i would recommend going back the right way, but thats just my opinion | 04:47 |
| RDove | L3Tum: here is the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/141593 | 04:47 |
| |_ocke | 7.10 wouldnt even boot into a regular cli, it would be on tty8 but just be some diafnostic mode i couldtn do anyrhinf in | 04:47 |
| Anacranom | IndyGunFreak, ? not sure i'm the one you need to ask that, is 8.04 still supported? if it works from fresh install of 8.04 but doesn't in 8.10, that not a problem? | 04:47 |
| ScottG489 | jken146: My system freezes a lot in general though. Like when I open my laptop up after its been closed long enough for the monitor to shut off. And a few times it has just froze randomly and I couldnt do anything, | 04:47 |
| sidney | now i need to learn french | 04:47 |
| tritium | sidney: please stay on topic | 04:48 |
| jbuncher | tenang: what system did you install it on? (how fast is processor, etc.) | 04:48 |
| L3Tum | RDove, I'll take a look | 04:48 |
| tenang | 32 bit | 04:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | Anacranom: well, you said you hoped he installd 8.04, i asked why should he install 8.04, when 8.10 is available. | 04:48 |
| tenang | I don't have a 64 bit motherboard yet lol | 04:48 |
| sidney | the topic is french if the program is in french | 04:48 |
| jken146 | Ikan, if the data on the partition in question isn't valuable, press y and go with it. Otherwise, I'm not sure how's best to backup..... | 04:48 |
| tritium | sidney: no, the topic is ubuntu support | 04:48 |
| LL | Is there a better chat room to ask my question about video driver activation? | 04:48 |
| jbuncher | LL : what was your question again? | 04:49 |
| LL | jbuncher: I can't activate the Nvidia drivers | 04:49 |
| sidney | well i just did what was instructed and now i jhave a program that will not open | 04:49 |
| tritium | LL: try the command line, as I suggested, if the gui method has failed for some reason | 04:49 |
| danfg | i made a custom keyboard layout for X11, how do i set it for the console? | 04:49 |
| Ikan | I pressed y, jken146 this comes up. /dev/sda3 was not cleanly mounted, check forced. Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes - Group 0's inode table at 4 conflicts with some other fs block. Relocate <y>? | 04:50 |
| Anacranom | IndyGunFreak, sorry, your question wasn't clear, my answer to that would have had to be done in private, for now obvious reasons | 04:50 |
| jbuncher | LL : What exactly happens? | 04:50 |
| tenang | i386 32 bit system processor is an amd athalon +1100 mhz | 04:50 |
| sidney | sambas icon is a large cube? | 04:50 |
| tenang | im running ubuntu 8.10 intrepid | 04:51 |
| jbuncher | tenang: hmm, that's a bit on the slow side, but 1-2 minutes still seems long | 04:51 |
| jbuncher | tenang: have you actually timed it? | 04:51 |
| tenang | I can say I've counted past sixty sixty thousand and then gave up | 04:52 |
| L3Tum | RDove, how do I get the list of processes up I can't remember. I tried top but they are not in that list | 04:52 |
| tenang | it stalls at the last 5% a lot | 04:52 |
| LL | Using Hardware Drivers I get the option to activate Nvidia accellrated graphics driver (173) [Recommended]. I click activate, enter my password, and then nothing seems to happen. I try Hardware Drivers again, and get exactly the same scenario. | 04:52 |
| RDove | ps auxwww | 04:52 |
| sidney | tritium: is the samba icon a large cube? | 04:52 |
| tritium | sidney: I don't know | 04:52 |
| sidney | sorry | 04:52 |
| jbuncher | LL: then I'd recommend you follow the previous advice given, and try installing them via the command line | 04:52 |
| sidney | back to xandros | 04:53 |
| LL | Synaptic shows that the files are already on the computer. What is the command to do it through terminal? | 04:53 |
| tenang | does anyone know a good noob linux tutorial site by chance? | 04:53 |

| RDove | L3Tum: do a kill -9 on the PID of the process you find, if you find something you think needs to be killed. Also, at the end of that page was some possible fixed with doing something to a home directory. i don't know how it relates though | 04:55 |
| jbuncher | LL : well, if it says nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new is already installed, you should just need to reboot | 04:56 |
| LL | I tried rebooting already. But I'll give it another shot... | 04:56 |
| LL | Later | 04:56 |
| jbuncher | LL: run cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep nvidia | 04:56 |

| jken146 | BotLobsta, did you have ubuntu-restricted-extras or Sun's java installed previously? | 05:08 |
| darius__ | I even installed the ati envyng core to eliminate the issue | 05:09 |
| trinitronx | |_ocke: sometimes there are problems with 64bit packages (more frequently than with 32-bit) | 05:09 |
| Anacranom | |_ocke, i'd run both live cd's on it first, and see which is preferred | 05:09 |
| trinitronx | |_ocke: however, I have had no real problems with 8.10 x64 on my machines... your mileage may vary | 05:09 |
| BotLobsta | jken146, i didnt have -restricted-extras and i dont think i had suns java. and msttcorefonts didnt work | 05:09 |
| [[thufir]] | is sun's java and open-jdk pretty much the same? | 05:10 |
| RDove | L3Tum might want to think about a full reboot; other than that, im stumped. sorry | 05:10 |
| jken146 | BotLobsta, well, then you could google for the font and download it on its own. Stick the ttf in ~/.fonts | 05:10 |
| BotLobsta | jken146, is there a font for just small caps letters? | 05:11 |
| daverd | does anyone know witch partion contains the boot record on my harddrive | 05:11 |
| |_ocke | jken146, well 7.10 livecd wouldnt boot and i couldnt even get a prompt on tty1 | 05:11 |
| L3Tum | RDove, I've done that a couple times. I just put a new fan in tonight and rebooted twice then, also I rebooted last night when switching between Vista, but that made no difference | 05:11 |
| jken146 | BotLobsta, reduce the size and use capslock? | 05:11 |
| |_ocke | so i downloaded 8.10 iso and burned it | 05:12 |
| jken146 | |_ocke, 7.10?? | 05:12 |

| [TiZ] | The one I have now... actually, this is weird. The website for the MT6452 says it's PATA. But... In hardy, it appeared as /dev/hda. And in intrepid, it appears as /dev/sda. | 05:26 |
| [TiZ] | Isn't hda/sda for IDE/SATA? | 05:27 |
| nickrud | !libata | [TiZ] (for a quick reason why) | 05:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about libata | 05:27 |
| chen | yes, I look better than redhat | 05:27 |
| nickrud | hm, what happened to that? | 05:27 |
| Scunizi_ | [TiZ], it's a PATA/ide drive.. in ibex everything is sdX | 05:27 |
| jp_sf | [[thufir]]: could you give the output ? | 05:27 |
| genii | [TiZ]: This is normal | 05:27 |
| chen | it looks better than redhat | 05:27 |
| charklii | Hey guys, I've been trying to get connected to wireless on Ubuntu.. I finally got the drivers working and can select my network - but nothing seems to change when I select it and connect to it? | 05:27 |
| nickrud | [TiZ], the driver now renames all as sda, (exept for some seriously old hardware) | 05:28 |
| [[thufir]] | jp_sf: one sec | 05:28 |
| jp_sf | [[thufir]]: np :-) | 05:28 |
| [TiZ] | Oh, okay. I just thought of that, and it worried me a little bit. *whew.* | 05:28 |
| [TiZ] | Well, thank you, guys! :D | 05:28 |
| beckster | hey guys my audio doesnt work on my Mac install, and it seems as though there are no drivers for the device, where do I start? | 05:28 |
| darius__ | Hello, If I'm using an external usb hd on a system that dual boots, and try to use it in another system with only ubuntu, it won't mount, anyone have any ideas? | 05:28 |
| zetheroo | how do I change the permissions of a folder in the failsafe terminal? | 05:29 |
| Joker_-_ | How do I automatically reply "n" to any question asked in a bash command (copy files: overwrite? no!) : something like cp somthing somewhere | n | 05:29 |
| chen | bye, everyone | 05:29 |
| nickrud | !uuid | [TiZ] (this was the factoid I was looking for) | 05:29 |
| ubottu | [TiZ] (this was the factoid I was looking for): To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 05:29 |
| zetheroo | I need it to be 644 and owned by a user called rachael | 05:29 |
| [[thufir]] | jp_sf: http://pastebin.com/m272a8a9 for java | 05:29 |
| charklii | So does anyone have any ideas why it won't connect to the network properly? | 05:30 |
| jp_sf | [[thufir]]: looks good | 05:30 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, chmod | 05:30 |
| Scunizi_ | zetheroo, chown rachael:rachael <filename> ... | 05:30 |
| biouser | jrib so if I installed the svn version of PTLIB, OPAL and EKIGA do I have any chance of going back to the repo versions? | 05:30 |
| Scunizi_ | !permissions | zetheroo | 05:30 |
| ubottu | zetheroo: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 05:30 |
| beckster | hey guys my audio doesnt work on my Mac install, and it seems as though there are no drivers for the device, where do I start? | 05:30 |
| [[thufir]] | jp_sf: thanks | 05:30 |
| Scunizi_ | !sound | beckster | 05:31 |
| [TiZ] | nickrud: uuid? I guess I'll give it a look-see. Thank you. | 05:31 |
| ubottu | beckster: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:31 |
| nickrud | darius__, start by running tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal, and plugging in the drive. It will spit out some messages about the device | 05:31 |
| jp_sf | [[thufir]]: I need to go but you need to make sure that your .bashrc is having the line export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun | 05:31 |
| beckster | thanks | 05:31 |
| nickrud | [TiZ], the link in that factoid explains the device naming change, briefly | 05:32 |
| AndyIB | Question, I ran an "aplay -l" to find some answers as to why I'm getting no sound after upgrading to 8.10. everything seems fine, but when I go "alsamixer" the onboard NVidia chipsetsoundcrd pops up as main instead of my Audigy 4 | 05:33 |
| AndyIB | IRQ issue or what? | 05:33 |
| zetheroo | Scunizi_: I have a folder called rachel and it need to be given permission 644 and owned by user "rachael" ... whats the command for that? | 05:34 |
| Tonamel | Question: I downloaded the 8.10 iso, but it's 2mb too large to burn to a 700mb CD (apparently). Is there a lighter weight version available? | 05:35 |
| Flannel | Tonamel: Try the alternate CD instead of the desktop CD | 05:36 |
| tenang | LL IS GONE =( | 05:36 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, sudo chown -R rachel:rachel rachel && sudo chmod -R 644 rachel | 05:36 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, make that: sudo chown -R rachel:rachel rachel && sudo chmod 644 rachel | 05:37 |
| charklii | Since noones helping I'll just type what I've done (I seriously am trying :o I'm just so lost) In the network settings I went to the properties and selected my network, typed in the WEP key and chose open (the router settings has both for authentication).. I chose DHCP as the connection mode because my router properties says it assigns IPs automatically.. then I save that, it updates the interface, then I close network properties and | 05:38 |
| deagle | quick question: how do i get back the office 2007 entry under the wine menu in Applications? I deleted it accidentally but now it won't show up | 05:38 |

| darius__ | why if I can get 7.28mb/s down speed, when I'm download new packages I get 27.6k/sec? | 05:39 |

| tehquickness | What is the correct way to enable SHMConfig for ubuntu 8.10? I have tried both HAL and xorg.conf but I cant seem to get either to work | 05:39 |
| jken146 | darius__, try the thing in Software Sources that finds you the fastest mirror | 05:40 |
| genii | darius__: There could be quite a few machines between you and the servers, any of which could be a bottleneck | 05:40 |
| biouser | what do you prefix a command with to run without pulseaudio? | 05:40 |
| bootcamp911 | hello | 05:40 |
| biouser | hello bootcamp911 | 05:41 |
| * deagle waves | 05:41 | |
| darius__ | kk, thanks | 05:41 |
| zetheroo | jken146: ok ... I need to change the users home dir back to the original ... how do i do this in the failsafe terminal? | 05:41 |
| Tonamel | Hm. Unfortunately, I need to use the disk as a liveCD, so the alternate version isn't going to work. | 05:41 |
| huwenfeng | is there any better PDF reader under Ubuntu? i am now using the official release of acroread. but it is really slow! | 05:41 |
| darius__ | the first update takes forever to downloadkes forever to k | 05:41 |
| bootcamp911 | why i can´t mount my ifp player with USB (IRIVER E100) | 05:41 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, I think I just told you | 05:42 |
| tritium | huwenfeng: evince is installed by default. xpdf is also available | 05:42 |
| zetheroo | jken146: the original home dir was called rachael .... | 05:42 |
| jken146 | huwenfeng, evince | 05:42 |
| jken146 | huwenfeng, or xpdf | 05:42 |
| biouser | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio <-- audactiy and pulse audio work together now? | 05:43 |
| bootcamp911 | the system said [can´t mount USB deivce] | 05:43 |
| alfredo | hi | 05:44 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, rachael? not rachel? If so, then: chown -R rachael:rachael /home/rachael && chmod -R 644 /home/rachael | 05:44 |
| bootcamp911 | :( | 05:44 |
| bootcamp911 | :| | 05:45 |
| === jacob_ is now known as Guest9661 | ||
| huwenfeng | oh, evince is good with small files, but with big files. it is even slower than acroread | 05:45 |
| huwenfeng | and the result is not as good as the official software | 05:45 |
| Shoopuf | My Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop x86 CD... I put it in the computer, boot it up, but it won't let me choose choise 1, 2, and 3.. (livecd, install, test cd) ... I press enter but nothing happens... only thing that works is test memory .. ? :( | 05:45 |
| Guest9661 | hi , | 05:45 |
| zetheroo | jken146: the original home dir is being ignored because the user changed it in Users and Groups and can no longer get into it | 05:46 |
| zetheroo | can no longer login | 05:46 |
| charklii | Could somebody please tell me what it means if underneath Wireless Networks a network has a dark circle (what looks like a select radio box) next to it as opposed to an empty one.. | 05:46 |
| Guest9661 | maybe your CD wasn't completely downloaded. | 05:46 |
| Shoopuf | i use the command line tool on the livecd and i typed umm.. "install" i think it was, and it said "Kernel error" | 05:46 |
| biouser | ekiga + ubuntu = pile of bugs | 05:47 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, what exactly was changed? | 05:47 |
| Shoopuf | Guest9661: Aww heck, that mighta been it. :P I was DLing as a torrent, recently reformatted computer, so very possible :) | 05:47 |
| zetheroo | jken146: in user properties the user changed her home directory name from "rachael" to "rachel" ... | 05:47 |
| zetheroo | jken146: now she can no longer login | 05:47 |
| jken146 | Shoopuf, torrents should be ok. perhaps it was the burning | 05:48 |
| Guest9661 | yeah .maybe. | 05:48 |
| zetheroo | jken146: is there a way to revert this back to the original? | 05:48 |
| charklii | hello ? :s | 05:48 |
| dragon33 | greetings, are there any recommended CAD programs similar to AutoCAD? thanks :-) | 05:48 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, then change it back. sudo mv /home/rachel /home/rachael | 05:48 |
| lonel | hi | 05:48 |

| zetheroo | jken146: but /home/rachel does not exist ... only home/rachael | 05:49 |
| biouser | ubuntu + audacity = pile of bugs | 05:49 |
| biouser | ubuntu + sound = pile of bugs | 05:49 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, I know. Did you type what I gave you? | 05:49 |

| charklii | Could somebody please tell me what it means if underneath Wireless Networks a network has a dark circle (what looks like a select radio box) next to it as opposed to an empty one.. | 05:49 |

| lonel | i am trying to autocreate homedir for users suing pam_makehomedir.so,its not working? | 05:49 |
| Jahooty | anyone know if the latest ubuntu includes the madwifi patch for the newer atheros cards? | 05:49 |
| bootcamp911 | why i cant mount the USB drive ?? but see the Icon | 05:50 |
| biouser | how do you run something sans pulse audio? | 05:50 |
| jken146 | charklii, that is a selected radio button. That network is the one you're connected to (or trying to connect to) | 05:50 |
| zetheroo | jken146: yes and it says /home/rachel does not exist | 05:50 |

| biouser | rshakin tremulous | 05:50 |
| rshakin | for ubuntu | 05:50 |

| biouser | it's in the repos | 05:50 |
| bootcamp911 | tremulous = OLD Game | 05:50 |
| biouser | who know, probably doesn't work with default sound config these days though | 05:51 |
| charklii | jken146: ahh thank you - is there any more information on it? like a status or how far it is through connecting..? | 05:51 |
| tehquickness | Would any help me figure out why the heck I cant get SHMConfig working in Ubuntu 8.10? I am trying to use gsynaptics and am having no luck. | 05:51 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, then she can;t have changed her home dir to rachel | 05:51 |
| zetheroo | jken146: all it does is change the path ... it does not actually create the folders | 05:51 |
| biouser | tehquickness does it have anything to do with sound, if so expect it not to work | 05:51 |
| jken146 | charklii, right click -> connection information | 05:51 |
| lonel | dayo_: around? | 05:52 |
| zetheroo | she need to change her home dir back to /home/rachael | 05:52 |
| Guest9661 | quit | 05:52 |
| jken146 | charklii, there is also Network Connections and the command 'iwconfig' | 05:52 |
| Shoopuf | biouser: i agree on ubuntu + sound :( | 05:52 |
| tehquickness | biouser: what would it have to do with sound? It is a configuration for the touchpad | 05:52 |
| fabzor | hi, how to i turn off font smoothing in gnome-terminal under ubuntu hardy ? | 05:53 |
| biouser | tehquickness I'm just bitter, I don't actually have any idea of what you are talking about sorry | 05:53 |
| tehquickness | biouser: what sound problem are you having? | 05:53 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, oh I see. Sorry for the confusion. You want usermod then. | 05:53 |
| zetheroo | jken146: ok .... | 05:53 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, usermod -d /home/rachael rachael | 05:53 |
| biouser | tehquickness everything, ekiga, audacity, how do I run without pulse audio... I feel that linux is about to have a break-through but right now just about everything is broken except for watching a flash video | 05:54 |
| charklii | jken146, evertime I right click it just says a passphrase is required.. I'm certain I'm entering the right key too.. | 05:54 |
| biouser | can I still do that? | 05:54 |
| jken146 | charklii, check you have the right kind of encryption selected | 05:54 |
| tehquickness | biouser: hmm pulse has been a little screwy lately. Are you on 8.10? or 8.04? | 05:54 |
| biouser | 8.04 | 05:55 |
| biouser | speaking of which, how to upgrade to 8.10? | 05:55 |
| zhaorong_ | hi | 05:55 |
| tehquickness | biouser: sounds like lots of problems. I usually prefer a clean install myself. | 05:55 |
| jken146 | biouser, update-manager -d | 05:56 |
| zetheroo | jken146: ok ... should I tell her to reboot afte rthat? | 05:56 |
| biouser | jken146 do you like 8.10 better than 8.04? do you think that it might help with some sound problems? | 05:56 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, no, just log in again | 05:56 |
| mike0011 | hi. I want to install ubuntu, but when I boot the installer CD the display shifts L to R about 10 pixels a couple of times a second. | 05:57 |
| zetheroo | jken146: ok she tried and it says that the folder "rachael" does not exist | 05:57 |
| jken146 | biouser, hard to say. Neither has given me any real problems. Sound is always a bit of a gamble | 05:57 |
| biouser | mike0011 all of the good things that you heard are lies leave now while you still have your sanity.. (j/k I think...) | 05:57 |
| mike0011 | display works fine under mac or windows. It's a nec 2090uxi | 05:58 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, ask her to type: ls /home and see what her home dir is actually called | 05:58 |
| mike0011 | biouser: thanks for that :) | 05:58 |
| charklii | jken146, well my router is set to WEP with a 128 bit cipher and both authentication types.. neither WEP 64/128 hex key or WEP 128 passphrase options work :s | 05:58 |
| zetheroo | jken146: she has /home/rachael/ and in the terminal she can get in no problems | 05:59 |
| jken146 | mike0011, don't worry about the live CD. Once you;ve installed it'll be better,. | 05:59 |

| biouser | alright, rolling the dice on update-manager -d | 05:59 |

| jken146 | mike0011, should be | 06:00 |
| a1len | tor && | 06:00 |
| jken146 | zetheroo, I don't understand. /home/rachael exists but usermod is saying it doesn't? | 06:00 |
| mike0011 | jken146: why would it be rocking around like this, it's har to read? | 06:00 |
| jken146 | mike0011, the LiveCd doesn't always display properly, for various reasons to do with your graphics card. Try installing from the alternate Cd/ | 06:01 |
| zetheroo | jken146: I think she did the command wrong .. | 06:01 |
| mike0011 | jken146: what is the alternate cd? | 06:01 |
| zetheroo | jken146: I am getting her to do it again | 06:01 |
| zetheroo | jken146: ok she did it again and its worked this time ... | 06:02 |

| draven | how may i check for data integrity of multiple files, in subdirectories for approximately 500 gigs of data? | 06:02 |

| zetheroo | jken146: thanks so much | 06:02 |

| cweigle | Has anyone solved the Intrepid flash bug yet | 07:03 |
| * cweigle kicks sdfa | 07:03 | |
| nickrud | deagle, if something wants to remove something, understand why first. | 07:03 |
| shivamib | ouch | 07:03 |
| sdfa | lmao | 07:03 |
| Solver | deagle: also, get regular backups going (if you don't already). it is worth its weight in gold | 07:03 |
| * nickrud kicks sdfa to prevent contamination | 07:03 | |
| sdfa | why? | 07:03 |
| deagle | yeh... already learned that the hard way | 07:03 |
| jskroll | How do I get KAlarm to launch automatically in Ubuntu 8.10? | 07:04 |
| sdfa | ive tried ubuntu, but it never worked | 07:04 |
| nickrud | sdfa, jk | 07:04 |
| deagle | anyways... wish me luck! | 07:04 |
| * shivamib kicks sdfa for no apparent reason too | 07:04 | |
| sdfa | I want it to work | 07:04 |
| Solver | deagle: goodluck :) | 07:04 |
| sdfa | but things just dont | 07:04 |
| cweigle | sdfa ubuntu works great about 99.999999999999% of the time | 07:04 |
| cweigle | Compared to windows working 71% | 07:04 |
| nickrud | sdfa, heh. I've always had at least one thing that took stroking. But, every scratch install of windows has also | 07:04 |
| Solver | all softwae sux - it's just a matter of degrees :) | 07:04 |
| sdfa | i just dont get how to install stuff | 07:05 |
| sdfa | where are the .exe? | 07:05 |
| insertnickhere | why must you compare it to windows. is it not enough to say that ubuntu works great most of the time? windows need not be a qualifier. | 07:05 |
| nickrud | !synaptic | sdfa | 07:05 |
| ubottu | sdfa: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 07:05 |
| shivamib | sdfa: synaptic | 07:05 |
| cweigle | you don't use exe in linux | 07:05 |
| Solver | sdfa: in linux we don't use extensions to signify file types much | 07:05 |
| sdfa | L( | 07:05 |
| cweigle | you use .tar.gz, .sh, .so etc | 07:05 |
| nickrud | sdfa, start with that link. No exe's, no going out to the net to get random software | 07:05 |
| insertnickhere | that's for the user | 07:05 |
| Solver | sdfa: executables are in /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin & /usr/sbin and even other places | 07:05 |
| insertnickhere | not the operating system | 07:05 |
| sdfa | I like random software though | 07:05 |
| sdfa | click .exe and magical things happen | 07:06 |
| insertnickhere | if you are having trouble running software that you downloaded, try setting it's permissions +x | 07:06 |
| jskroll | Hello, is this thing on? Can anyone help me? I am trying to use KAlarm to remind me to do things throughout my day, but I can't get it to auto-launch when I log in. Please help me. | 07:06 |
| insertnickhere | er its* | 07:06 |
| dardime | /j grind | 07:06 |
| nickrud | sfda it's in synaptic, 98% of the time. All wrapped up nicely to work with ubuntu, two click install | 07:06 |
| sdfa | ok | 07:06 |
| dardime | hello | 07:06 |
| cweigle | I just use alarm in Exaile jksroll | 07:06 |
| Solver | cweigle: true but the system uses the magic number to figure out filetype. good point though - they are used in some cases | 07:06 |
| cweigle | jskroll* | 07:06 |
| shoaibi | hi! | 07:06 |
| sdfa | im getting a new harddrive, so I will set up a virtual machine and try ubuntu again | 07:06 |
| dardime | i have a problem connecting to wireless internet | 07:07 |
| dardime | im using broadcom | 07:07 |
| sonoblaise | I'm trying to install GSynaptics to configure my laptop's touch pad... the thing is that it tells me to turn SHMConfig to TRUE in xorg.conf or in XF86Config... I found xorg.conf, but I don't know where to put the option... anyone ould give me a cue? thanks! | 07:07 |
| sdfa | it is odd when vista just decides to be slow, and mouse gets parkinsons | 07:07 |
| dardime | anyone can help | 07:07 |
| Solver | sdfa: the key to remember with ubuntu or debian is to look to the repository first | 07:07 |
| nickrud | sonoblaise, in the mouse section | 07:07 |
| cweigle | brb, im seeing if there is a bios update for my old old laptop | 07:07 |
| insertnickhere | sonoblaise, if you are using nano to edit xorg.conf, hit ctrl+w, and search for shmconfig | 07:07 |
| Solver | sdfa: a lot of stuff is there and if you use it you can get security updates more easily\ | 07:07 |
| nickrud | sonoblaise, doh, in the touchpad section :) | 07:07 |
| cweigle | haha, its about 3 years old, i haven't updated the bios once | 07:07 |
| sdfa | anyone know if i can use eyecandy in vmware? | 07:07 |
| shoaibi | I rebooted the system and grub isn't working, this is my hard disk layout : http://pastebin.com/m47ca65f6 | 07:08 |
| nickrud | sdfa, no | 07:08 |
| shivamib | sdfa: really, you're doing it wrong | 07:08 |
| sdfa | i am. | 07:08 |
| jskroll | I just need to know how to auto-launch a program. I have this "Session" thing where I can specify a program to auto-launch, but I don't know how to set the command or find the program on the harddrive. | 07:08 |
| sdfa | how. | 07:08 |
| nickrud | sdfa, no, you're fine, putting it in a vm to start with. No eye candy, but easily cloned and mucked about with. | 07:08 |
| cweigle | oh its 5 years old | 07:08 |
| cweigle | lol i just know i got it at a garage sale for 100 | 07:09 |
| atom^x | jskroll: whereis kalarm | 07:09 |
| nickrud | jskroll, what program? | 07:09 |
| nickrud | which kalarm is clearer | 07:09 |
| jskroll | KAlarm is a great program for using mp3's as alarms, just can't get it to auto-launch | 07:09 |
| sonoblaise | nickrud: the thing is that my xorg.conf is pretty empty... I'll go check again to be sure | 07:09 |
| shoaibi | anyone? | 07:09 |
| nickrud | jskroll, type which kalarm in a terminal, that will give you the command | 07:09 |
| cweigle | jskroll | 07:09 |
| jskroll | atom: tthat's the problem | 07:09 |
| jacober | shoaibi: hi | 07:09 |
| cweigle | jskroll | 07:10 |
| sdfa | no eye candy? | 07:10 |
| nickrud | sonoblaise, if there's no synaptic touchpad section (I don't have my laptop handy) it's easy to create one | 07:10 |
| jskroll | cweigle: yes? | 07:10 |
| cweigle | just use exaile or amarok, they have an alarm plugin | 07:10 |
| atom^x | jskroll: no, that was a command for you to try | 07:10 |
| cweigle | if you configure it right ( i did) it will autostart at the assigned time | 07:10 |
| cweigle | without having to leave it open | 07:10 |
| jskroll | cweigle: why the bulky program when I use gmail and only need the alarm? | 07:10 |
| cweigle | well its also a great media organizer | 07:10 |
| cweigle | lol | 07:10 |
| sdfa | no eye candy in vmware? | 07:11 |
| tweak | can anyone help me? I have an intel graphics card and can't get it working properly | 07:11 |

| insertnickhere | sdfa, google vmware-tools | 07:11 |
| sonoblaise | nickrud: where is xorg.conf supposed to be already.é.. i forgot (sorry!) | 07:11 |
| nickrud | sonoblaise, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:11 |
| cweigle | ok i have the ultimate question | 07:11 |
| jskroll | nickrud: thanks! | 07:11 |
| cweigle | how can you update a bios in ubuntu | 07:11 |
| kshlmster | when i play hd videos, 720p, i get blue bars on the right sides... | 07:12 |
| nightrid3r | yadav: you have write permissions to /var/www | 07:12 |
| kshlmster | why is this ?? | 07:12 |
| sdfa | well. | 07:12 |
| sdfa | all i want to do is click .exe and have it install | 07:12 |
| nightrid3r | yadav: don't * | 07:12 |
| insertnickhere | sdfa | 07:12 |
| sdfa | but i have to compile vmware install? | 07:12 |
| insertnickhere | linux is _not_ like that | 07:13 |
| sdfa | what is that bs? | 07:13 |
| nickrud | sdfa, won't happen. this is not Windows. And no, there's a deb available from vmware | 07:13 |
| cweigle | can anyone tell me how to run a bios update in ubuntu? | 07:13 |
| jtimberman | sdfa: vmware needs to be compiled so the proprietary network drivers can work with your specific kernel | 07:13 |
| cweigle | my bios is 5 years old and needs updating bad | 07:13 |
| yadav | can anyone help me....i can not copy n paste any file to var/www .....i am new to ubuntu | 07:13 |
| sonoblaise | nickrud: thanks... I'm always looking in /usr/... so now im in it, there is nothing about touchpad or mouse | 07:13 |
| sdfa | that is why I stick with windows | 07:13 |
| sdfa | thank you, goodbye | 07:13 |
| jtimberman | cweigle depends on your motherboard/bios maker, see the motherboard manufacturer's web site. | 07:13 |
| nickrud | sonoblaise, ok, put a copy on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 07:13 |
| jken146 | yadav, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Virtual%20Hosts | 07:13 |
| nickrud | sdfa, no pain, no gain. See you later | 07:14 |

| trinitronx | Mayank: did you try clicking on the network manager icon in the upper right, selecting "Edit connections..." and then adding your wireless info in the wireless tab? | 07:21 |
| dman | weird thing is that I installed ubuntu on another system with this hd attached, so did it switch something? And vista was also installed w/this hd attached ??? | 07:22 |
| n8tuser | Mayank -> is the AP connected to the internet? does your box gets an ip address? perhaps you can tell us your network layout? | 07:22 |
| Mayank | wait.. | 07:23 |
| shivamib | ouch | 07:23 |

| dman | It was originally attached to a system that had xp/ubuntu, got a new system - attached it to that and installed vista/ubuntu | 07:23 |

| etsm | I have install Ubuntu 8.10 in compaq presario C751NR but my wireless card does not work. I'm a beginner, could you help me in this. | 07:23 |
| n8tuser | dman -> you have a hd in one of those usb adapters? is it detected? check dmesg | 07:23 |
| nickrud | sonoblaise, http://paste.ubuntu.com/105444/ . Got distracted by an admin issue in another channel, sorry. This should do the job | 07:24 |
| cweigle | for anyone else interested i found instructions on updateing a dell bios on linux | 07:24 |
| cweigle | http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Tech/libsmbios_dellBiosUpdate | 07:24 |
| yadav | yes now can change the file permission with sudo chmod o+w /var/www | 07:24 |
| yadav | thanks jken | 07:24 |
| jken146 | yadav, ok that will work too | 07:24 |
| n8tuser | cweigle -> does your dell happen to do spanish language in bios? | 07:24 |
| drkop | how i can add drivers at bootup? | 07:24 |
| cweigle | i don't know | 07:24 |
| yadav | now shud i paste my whole project to tat folder...and run localhost ? | 07:24 |
| jken146 | yadav, be aware that that command allows any user on your machine to write to /var/www | 07:24 |
| yadav | i'll jken | 07:25 |
| jken146 | yadav, yes, you can put the files you want to serve there and direct your browser to http://localhost | 07:25 |
| n8tuser | drkop -> you can add to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases ? | 07:25 |
| sonoblaise | nickrud: Thanks a lot! I'm still learning the tircks of linux slowly but surely | 07:25 |
| zsolty_ | Hello, I have a problem with Remote Desktop. From Windows I can't connect to my Ubuntu box. In windows I am using realvnc. Can somebody guide me in the right direction? :) | 07:25 |
| nickrud | sonoblaise, enjoy. With ubuntu, you should only need to learn as you go. If you lose your mouse (not likely, but I couldn't actually test that xorg.conf) let me kno0w | 07:26 |
| dman | http://pastebin.ca/1309891 | 07:26 |
| yadav | o.k | 07:26 |
| cweigle | ok that didn't work | 07:27 |
| dman | n8t, just pasted | 07:27 |
| cweigle | it said could not instantiate smbios table | 07:27 |
| n8tuser | dman -> if that was for me, complete my whole nick so i can detect it | 07:27 |
| etsm | but i think it's a drivers issues. The card is Artheros 5007. I have search over the internet but i didn't get any driver compatible with this card. May be if you know any link that i can download drivers to figure out this issue. | 07:28 |
| sonoblaise | nickrud, that wont be right now: I'm running low on battery and my AC adapter is at home and downloads ar on the way... but if you can tell me what the device and protocol options represent it would help me really understand :) | 07:28 |
| cweigle | does anyone know anything about fixing an smbios error | 07:29 |
| LunatikBtikBunni | how can i update my ubuntu kernel? | 07:29 |
| nickrud | ok, the device is where the mouse presents it's raw output. The protocol is detected automatically | 07:29 |
| drkop | n8tuser: ow - wrong explain =( im need add drivers of IDE controller at ubuntu install cd boot =) | 07:29 |
| dman | n8tuser http://pastebin.ca/1309891 | 07:30 |
| n8tuser | dman -> and what that should tell me? | 07:30 |
| cweigle | hold on | 07:30 |
| cweigle | quesiton | 07:30 |
| cweigle | question* | 07:30 |
| nickrud | sonoblaise, man xorg.conf goes into some detail | 07:30 |
| cweigle | didn't they just release an acpi update 2 days ago | 07:31 |
| cweigle | if that? | 07:31 |
| drkop | was | 07:31 |
| n8tuser | drkop -> oh i have not done those where you require an additional driver during livecd booting | 07:31 |
| drkop | pleeaase... | 07:31 |
| cweigle | the new update annoys me | 07:31 |
| cweigle | I can't wait for 9.04 | 07:31 |
| biouser | please god, let this update-manager -d work and not break my whole system... | 07:32 |
| Guest49788 | Has anyone synced an iphone with ubuntu | 07:32 |
| cweigle | I did for my friend | 07:32 |
| dman | n8tuser - try again - sorry http://pastebin.ca/1309892 | 07:32 |
| sonoblaise | nickrud: ok, i'll read it.. i already redirected the man output to a textfile for later reading | 07:32 |
| cweigle | all i did was install it on their simcard | 07:32 |
| n8tuser | dman again what should that tell me? | 07:32 |
| dman | :) - I thought you could tell me | 07:33 |
| nickrud | sonoblaise, all man is doing is formatting files in /usr/share/man | 07:33 |
| sonoblaise | have to go... if something go wrong with my mouse I'll just comment the lines and restart to get it right? | 07:33 |

| nickrud | sonoblaise, another interesting place for docs is /usr/share/doc/<packagename>. Some have more than others, all have the changelogs | 07:33 |
| sonoblaise | nickrud: yeah I knonw, but man xorg.conf > something.txt still works ;) | 07:34 |
| sonoblaise | ok, I'll take a look! | 07:34 |
| n8tuser | dman -> thats bunch of lines from dmesg, so look for the entry when you plugged in your usb device(hd) | 07:34 |

| jken146 | yadav, you need to give that file read permissions for all... sudo chmod a+r /var/www/test.php | 07:42 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, how do i set direct rendering | 07:43 |
| n8tuser | something I learned, darn Sony laptop is not easy to resize with gparted it fouled it up, so i have to spend extra 4 hours to recover windows on it, grrrr | 07:43 |
| miranda_psi | kshlmster: just a sec - I'll see how to do it in vlc... | 07:43 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, ok :) | 07:43 |
| tenang | can I dl vlc movie player on linux? | 07:44 |
| jken146 | tenang, it's in the repositories. type 'sudo apt-get install vlc' | 07:44 |
| tenang | really? | 07:44 |
| tenang | how do I find out what's in the repositories? | 07:44 |
| yadav | jken it runs...yahoooo | 07:44 |
| jken146 | yadav, a better solution is to create your own site: "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Virtual Hosts" | 07:44 |
| tenang | is there a list command | 07:44 |
| yadav | thanks jken...i realy appreciate your help | 07:45 |
| jken146 | tenang, use Synaptic or Applications -> Add/Remove for the graphical way.. Otherwise, type 'apt-cache search somethingYouWant' | 07:45 |
| Muhammad_Saad | What is /dev/sda6 called in GRUB's language? | 07:46 |
| Rocking-W | I downloaded ubuntu 8.10 i386 instead of i686 but it seems to be doing great and graphics are good also for a GeForce Ti 4200 nvidiacard | 07:46 |
| jken146 | Muhammad_Saad, (hd0,5) probably | 07:46 |
| tenang | ha ty jken | 07:46 |
| Rocking-W | is the live cd running off the 8.04 graphics? | 07:47 |
| LunatikBtikBunni | i need someone to assist me in updating my linux kernel, because im using a netbook, i cant seem to use the webcam with my current kernel | 07:47 |
| jken146 | Rocking-W, there is only one 23 bit release | 07:47 |
| tenang | btw is there a way to make my resolution bigger like forcibly? and if not does anyone know a good icon pack to download that has smaller icons? | 07:47 |
| Rocking-W | 32 you mean? | 07:47 |
| miranda_psi | jken146: its relative to the drive that it is installed on - the drive it is installed on is hd0,* and then they are in alphabetical order | 07:47 |
| tenang | I feel retarded lookn at giant folders and boxes lol | 07:47 |
| calamaro2357 | buongiorno gente! | 07:48 |
| yadav | jken is it possible to run dreamweaver in linux ? | 07:48 |
| jken146 | miranda_psi, thanks, that solves a mystery for me! | 07:48 |
| shivamib | bungholio? | 07:48 |
| tweak | nope glxgears doesn't work :( | 07:48 |
| miranda_psi | jken146: that caused me a lot of problems until i figured out what was going on by trial and error... | 07:49 |
| jken146 | yadav, I'm not sure. I hear that nvu and bluefish are similar though. I would recommend learning html though | 07:49 |
| Rocking-W | I have the amd 64 cpu and I thought that the 8.04 was 64 bit | 07:49 |
| jken146 | Rocking-W, there is a 32 bit (i386) and a 64 bit (amd-64) version. either should work | 07:50 |
| Rocking-W | ok | 07:50 |
| Rocking-W | thanks | 07:50 |
| yadav | o.k i'll learn both nvu and bluefish...i think these are the best one for linux ? | 07:50 |

| jken146 | tenang, you can change the size of folder icons in nautilus (the file manager) in the View menu. http://gnome-look.org has icons etc | 07:51 |
| miranda_psi | kshlmster: try the openGL output - should work nicely if your gpu supports it... | 07:51 |
| jken146 | yadav, I don't know. Search in Add/Remove or Synaptic for programs you want | 07:51 |
| yadav | o.k jken | 07:52 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, tried it but its choppy too, only xvideo gives unchoppy video but its got those bars | 07:52 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, guess i'll ask on the vlc forums | 07:52 |
| miranda_psi | kshlmster: what video card do you have? | 07:53 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, thanks fr the help :) | 07:53 |
| biouser | modified config file Renviron... what is renviron? | 07:53 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, onboard intel 845 gv | 07:53 |
| jken146 | biouser, if you don't know what it is, chances are you haven't modified it yourself, so just say yes. | 07:53 |
| miranda_psi | kshlmster: that would be why the openGL is slow - no gpu support for opengl... | 07:54 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, i've gotta fast enuff processor for xvideo to run without choppiness | 07:54 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, but those bars are only the problem | 07:55 |
| miranda_psi | kshlmster: try mplayer and see if you get the same problem, could be something to do with vlc... | 07:55 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, mplayer doesn't even open hd files | 07:56 |
| miranda_psi | kshlmster: what do you mean? I use it to watch full 1080p 20MB/s videos... | 07:56 |
| tenang | im getting this error because of the theme I have on right now, how do I get asnd install?won't look right because you don't currently have GTK + Themes Engine ubuntulooks installed | 07:57 |
| Ketrel | Sorry for repeating (accidently cleared): Question, has anyone figured out anything about the problem with blank TTYs with nvidia drivers? | 07:57 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, mplayer says max resolution is some x*y and cant play video | 07:57 |
| jken146 | tenang, it sounds like you need to install gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks | 07:58 |
| miranda_psi | kshlmster: that is strange... is that through the gui or from the shell/ | 07:58 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | HUmm, when i try to turn on desktop effects, it says dekstop effects can not be enabled. | 07:59 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | suggestions anyone? | 07:59 |
| jacober | TOO MANY LOGIN AND LOGOUT,why .... | 07:59 |
| miranda_psi | CoUrPsE|DeAd: what video card do you have? | 07:59 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | radeon 9700 pro. | 07:59 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, i get that error when mplayer i run frm the shell, thru the gui mplayer just quits | 07:59 |
| miranda_psi | CoUrPsE|DeAd: installed the propreitary ati drivers? | 08:00 |
| jken146 | jacober, please don't shout. What do you mean? | 08:00 |
| tenang | so jken would I type in sudo apt -get instal gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks ? | 08:00 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | na, they wont install, i cant find em. | 08:00 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | i have radeon drivers installed thou. | 08:00 |
| miranda_psi | kshlmster: can you run it and put the mplayer output up on pastebin? | 08:00 |
| jken146 | tenang, yes but apt-get has no space. | 08:01 |
| ChrisDavaz | hey | 08:01 |
| tenang | oh | 08:01 |
| tenang | lol | 08:01 |
| arvind_khadri | hi, i have a intex night vision cam, i tried easy cam and kopete, they dont detect it, can windows drivers be somehow used to make it work? | 08:01 |
| tenang | learning slowly thank you very much jken | 08:01 |
| jken146 | tenang, you're welcome | 08:01 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, right now i'vent got mplayer installed... | 08:01 |
| Bikeguy | For some odd reason mplayer is taking exceedingly long to load, also all across the board .wmv's have very bad support with no audio | 08:02 |
| Bikeguy | any idea? | 08:02 |
| jacober | is there any game irc or chat irc ? | 08:02 |
| ChrisDavaz | I am using Xinerama on Ubuntu 8.10. Recently after working for about an hour or so my mouse goes on the fritz. I can move the pointer around but clicking doesn't work and sometimes I get the finger cursor. It seems like the mouse is mapped to a different area than what is being displayed. If I enter a full-screen RDP session the mouse is mapped correctly, but only on fullscreen. | 08:02 |
| arvind_khadri | any ideas? | 08:02 |
| miranda_psi | kshlmster: ok, well good luck with the vlc | 08:02 |
| kshlmster | miranda_psi, thanks fr the help :) | 08:03 |
| jken146 | jacober, #ubuntu-off-topic | 08:04 |
| tweak | anyone around here know how to configure 3d graphics accelerator for intel chipsets? | 08:04 |
| miranda_psi | Bikeguy: what does mplayer output about the sound in the wmv files? | 08:04 |
| Bikeguy | miranda_psi: let me get that error message for you, also mplayer with any media file takes a really long time to load | 08:05 |
| Jub | Hey, I've stumbled upon quite a predicament! | 08:06 |
| jestinjoy | how could i change the first screen during the booting of live cd? | 08:06 |
| Bikeguy | miranda_psi: cannot find codec for audio format 0x162 | 08:06 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | miranda_psi, In hardware drivers, it says no device is using propriety drivers. | 08:07 |
| Jub | I can't access the edit users and groups thing with my normal user | 08:07 |
| Jub | it says i'm not allowed :( | 08:07 |
| Jub | but im in the admin group | 08:07 |
| miranda_psi | Jub: click on unlock | 08:08 |
| Jub | i cant even get to that screen | 08:08 |
| Jub | I can't even access system configurations | 08:08 |
| Jub | grr | 08:08 |
| miranda_psi | Jub: use the menu editor to find the program name and launch with sudo | 08:08 |
| miranda_psi | CoUrPsE|DeAd: try searching for ati in synaptic and see if you can find a 3D driver for your card there - you might only be using a generic driver right now... | 08:10 |
| jestinjoy | how could i edit a linux live cd | 08:10 |
| miranda_psi | Bikeguy: can you play those files in other media players? | 08:10 |
| Zero_FeniX | I'm trying to install ubuntu with VirtualBox on a windows machine just to play around with. I got it all set up and it loads the image just fine but when I try to install, try it, or check to see if the download was good it just freezes and doesn't do anything. Any suggestions. I've tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions and there are no other virtual machines using the same disk image. | 08:12 |
| Bikeguy | yes, but with no sound | 08:12 |
| Bikeguy | miranda_psi: yes but with no sound, could it be the w32codecs package needs to be installed? | 08:12 |
| syn-fin | does ultimate ubuntu 2.0 has full disk encryption? | 08:12 |
| tritium | Zero_FeniX: you're not using alpha releases of jaunty (9.04), are you? | 08:13 |
| mespejel | hi, does anyone know where can i get the last ubuntu release iso in bittorent? | 08:13 |
| tritium | syn-fin: this channel is not for ultimate ubuntu | 08:13 |
| Zero_FeniX | tritium: I'm using 8.10 | 08:13 |
| Sorcererbob | mespejel: http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ ? | 08:13 |
| shivamib | ultimate? | 08:13 |
| syn-fin | mespejel, http://www.tuxdistro.com/ | 08:13 |
| syn-fin | shivamib, yeah | 08:13 |
| tritium | Zero_FeniX: just checking, as the release notes state that the kernel used in the jaunty alphas won't boot as a virtualbox guest | 08:14 |
| mespejel | dapper is 8.10?? | 08:14 |
| Zero_FeniX | Yea, it boots up I just can't get it to install or anything unfortunately. | 08:14 |
| tritium | mespejel: no, intrepid is 8.10 | 08:14 |
| jken146 | mespejel, http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ | 08:14 |
| nickrud | mespejel, releases.ubuntu.com/8.10 , there's a torrent there | 08:14 |
| Bikeguy | miranda_psi: hey, that worked | 08:15 |
| Bikeguy | miranda_psi: thanks for the help | 08:15 |
| tenang | one last question and I'll leave you guys alone how do I install the gtk + themes engine for overglossed? | 08:15 |
| Bikeguy | miranda_psi: any idea on why mplayer is opening so slow though/ | 08:15 |
| jken146 | tenang, Usually you just download a theme from gnome-look.org, then drag the archive to the Themes tab in System -> Preferences -> Appearance | 08:16 |
| miranda_psi | Bikeguy: are you using the default mplayer from the repository? 1rc2? | 08:17 |
| scientes | how do i prevent X from recovering me back to my X terminal everytime i try to go to a text terminal? | 08:18 |
| jken146 | scientes, if I understand you correctly, you'd have to stop the x server: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 08:18 |
| scientes | nonoo | 08:19 |
| scientes | i do ctrtl-alt-f1 | 08:19 |
| scientes | but X grabs me back | 08:19 |
| scientes | till i hit it a second time | 08:19 |
| bootcamp911 | hello, what is the meaning of the UBUNTU ? | 08:19 |
| === hij is now known as detnuomnu | ||
| scientes | something is thinking it knows what i want more than me | 08:19 |
| jken146 | scientes, I just tried it. You're right! it does do that, the first time. then it's normal again. how weird. | 08:20 |
| jken146 | that is annoying | 08:20 |
| biouser | restart the system to complete the upgrade, wish me luck! here goes nothing.... | 08:20 |
| jken146 | biouser, luck! | 08:20 |
| tenang | I did what you said but its still saying I need to install it | 08:21 |
| bootcamp911 | tenng: :) | 08:21 |
| jken146 | tenang, try to install it then, whatever it is. Go to System > Administration > Synaptic and search for it. | 08:21 |
| yadav | hello | 08:22 |
| Tim__Reichhart | could anybody tell me how to get getimagesize for php5 | 08:25 |
| biouser | well, looks like the system is not completely broken :) | 08:25 |
| yadav | hello | 08:26 |

| snuxoll | Tim__Reichhart: #php is >> thataway | 08:26 |
| tenang | kk im tryn to install community themes | 08:26 |
| biouser | Tim__Reichhart #php is probably pretty active, but you should use a python framewerk | 08:26 |
| yadav | how to install ftp | 08:26 |
| tenang | I believe that's where I got the theme lol | 08:26 |
| rww | yadav: an ftp server (so that other people can connect to you) or an ftp client (so that you can connect to a server)? | 08:27 |
| denizen | hello | 08:28 |
| yadav | just i want install ftp | 08:29 |
| snuxoll | yadav: we can't help you unless we know what you want, 'ftp' does not give us enough information to do that | 08:29 |
| snuxoll | yadav: are you trying to serve files over FTP or download them | 08:30 |
| toader | HI, how to mount a ISO file? thanks | 08:30 |
| rww | !iso | toader | 08:30 |
| opera | !f-spot | 08:30 |
| ubottu | toader: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 08:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about f-spot | 08:30 |
| kavon | yadav: google FireFTP and get the plugin for firefox, great FTP client | 08:30 |

| tommi | Hi! I have a problem with suspending my system. When I try to suspend it, it shuts down completely, and when I turn it on again it boots straight to my desktop with an error messages that says there was a problem suspending the system, nothing else. Any ideas? How can I found out what's wrong? | 08:31 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | Anyone know of a great book to learn about Linux in general, mainly on how everything works? I already purchased the Ubuntu Linux Bible from amazon. | 08:31 |
| snuxoll | tommi: is this on a laptop or desktop computer? what is the make and model (assuming it's an OEM machine) | 08:32 |
| jken146 | PeoplesAdvocate, learn as you go. google is your friend. Find something you don't know how to do and learn it. | 08:32 |
| tenang | hey jken maybe this might help you help me here's where it came from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Overglossed?content=74813 | 08:32 |
| rww | !documentation | PeoplesAdvocate: not sure about books, but these sites are useful to me | 08:32 |
| ubottu | PeoplesAdvocate: not sure about books, but these sites are useful to me: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 08:32 |
| jken146 | tenang, did you follow the instructions on that page? | 08:33 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | Yeah, I have many great sites but I wanted books for my library | 08:33 |
| demizer | th ubuntu bible is very good in itself | 08:34 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | I appreciate your answers though I will list those sites for reference. | 08:34 |
| demizer | I have not read any books myself, I have learned everything from google | 08:35 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | Yeah I like the book, Im tryna convert my friends so I try to through material at them that will help them learn with more ease | 08:35 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | lol | 08:35 |
| demizer | well, i have reade the ubuntu bible | 08:35 |
| snuxoll | since he's not resaying it here | 08:36 |
| snuxoll | <tommi> It's HP Pavilion dv6615eo laptop computer | 08:36 |
| snuxoll | I've always had bad experiences with HP desktops, anyone else got some info on his suspend issues? | 08:36 |
| demizer | give your friends some live cds | 08:36 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | I did | 08:36 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | :D | 08:36 |
| demizer | I have suspend issues with my dell | 08:36 |
| demizer | you're awesome | 08:37 |
| demizer | how do they like it? | 08:37 |
| snuxoll | suspend works quite well on my machine, video drivers are the most probable cause of issues and since I run the open source ATI drivers... | 08:37 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | they like it but have trouble learning where everything is at. | 08:37 |
| snuxoll | but mine's an older dell, so :/ | 08:37 |
| tenang | yep followed the directions 1-4 | 08:37 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | its really easy but they are not to computer literate | 08:37 |
| demizer | yeah, finding everything was hard for me at first too, but you'll get used to it | 08:38 |
| demizer | or they | 08:38 |
| biouser | YAY! I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and my PulseAudio + ekiga problems are VERY MUCH better! Nice, ubuntu can come back out of the doghouse and go back to being the greatest thing ever! | 08:38 |
| dayo_ | PeoplesAdvocate: http://www.linuxhaxor.net/2007/09/05/68-linux-related-free-e-books/ | 08:38 |
| tommi | I use the latest nVidia driver. | 08:38 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | cool, thanks dayo_ | 08:38 |
| dayo_ | PeoplesAdvocate: u're welcome :-) | 08:38 |
| biouser | I think that the newer Pulse Audio is way better from what I see already :) | 08:39 |
| demizer | I have tried all the distros, and ubuntu worked the best, so they are off to a good start | 08:39 |
| tommi | But suspending has worked on this very same laptop the last time I had Ubuntu installed on it, about 2 months ago... | 08:39 |
| biouser | people might suggest that audio problems might be improved by moving toward the bleeding edge? | 08:39 |
| bootcamp911 | ogg audio format good or not ? | 08:39 |
| snuxoll | biouser: pulseaudio itself hasn't changed. Ubuntu just configured it better (aka: not horribly wrong) | 08:39 |
| demizer | ogg is better than mp3 | 08:39 |
| snuxoll | bootcamp911: better than MP3, but the lack of standalone portable media players that support it is a downer | 08:39 |
| demizer | the only problem is very little player support | 08:40 |
| MartianW | I have a pdf music score which has two pages per A4. Is there any way to split and rotate them so that each page is on it's own A4 page? | 08:40 |
| demizer | it does work with rockbox, however | 08:40 |
| bootcamp911 | how about Iriver? > snuxoll | 08:40 |
| snuxoll | bootcamp911: I keep most of my music in MP3's encoded with LAME -V0 | 08:40 |
| biouser | snuxoll seems to be a lot of potential but that doesn't mean that I can put up with TOO much flat-out brokenness | 08:40 |
| bootcamp911 | ic > demizer | 08:40 |
| bootcamp911 | i am a newbie in portable audio | 08:41 |
| snuxoll | I'd rather use AAC personally, but it's too painful to rip to it under linux | 08:41 |
| demizer | true that | 08:41 |
| snuxoll | since my phone, iPod, wii, etc all play MP3 | 08:41 |
| snuxoll | *AAC | 08:41 |
| VieQ | hi all, I am here (http://kubuntuway.net/forum/showthread.php?t=241) and Still Can't figure out how to use the repos. because the "deb" command was not Found :) | 08:41 |
| bootcamp911 | how about FFFFFFFFLLLLLAAAAACCCCC ? | 08:41 |
| snuxoll | bootcamp911: flac is good for archival, not playback | 08:41 |
| demizer | yeah, I didn't like rockbox much over the original ipod firmware | 08:41 |
| snuxoll | demizer: rockbox doesn't even run on my classic | 08:41 |
| demizer | flac is very high quality, large filesizes | 08:42 |
| demizer | ic, I have 5th gen | 08:42 |
| snuxoll | demizer: I see no need to bother with it though, I really could care less about OGG support myself | 08:42 |
| bootcamp911 | MP3 good for u > snuxoll | 08:42 |
| VieQ | any suggestions? | 08:42 |
| demizer | yes, mp3 work just fine. :) | 08:42 |
| opera | !gnome-pilot | 08:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-pilot | 08:43 |
| bootcamp911 | but i will obtain Ubuntu default OGG | 08:43 |
| nikolam | Hello, what should I do if apt/dpkg is stuck like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105072/ | 08:43 |
| snuxoll | bootcamp911: like I said, I use mp3's encoded with lame -v0, the audio quality is as good as it gets for MP3 while being about the size of a 256Kbps VBR MP3 | 08:43 |
| rww | VieQ: Those aren't commands that you run. They're lines that you put into your /etc/apt/sources.list file | 08:43 |
| joerack | Hello, can you help me? My pc speakers aren't working anymore | 08:43 |
| demizer | are they plugged in | 08:43 |
| demizer | kidding | 08:44 |
| VieQ | rww, thanks for the tip | 08:44 |
| bootcamp911 | ogg = less support or = no support in future ? | 08:44 |
| demizer | I could'nt resist | 08:44 |
| VieQ | but will that work without the GPG key? | 08:44 |
| snuxoll | bootcamp911: I wouldn't say no support in the future, but for now not much supports it | 08:44 |
| snuxoll | bootcamp911: I mean, there *are* devices that support it, and if they appeal to you then OGG is by far the best choice | 08:44 |
| lonel | hi,any one here using a webmin can share their webmin,pam.d file? | 08:44 |
| lgk | !ops oh noes, is ikonia madddd? Y SO MAD :D | 08:45 |
| snuxoll | bootcamp911: I know that cowon players are ok, I don't like them myself but I know a lot of people that do | 08:45 |
| snuxoll | !webmin | LoneWlf | 08:45 |
| ubottu | LoneWlf: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 08:45 |
| bootcamp911 | well, how about WMA vs AAC ? | 08:45 |
| snuxoll | er, lonel ^^^ | 08:45 |
| snuxoll | bad tab complete | 08:45 |
| lonel | hi,i cant login after i configured webmin | 08:45 |
| snuxoll | bootcamp911: WMA is absolute garbage | 08:45 |
| demizer | bootcamp911: AAC | 08:45 |
| demizer | snuxoll: YES | 08:45 |
| demizer | bootcamp911: don't ever use wma | 08:46 |
| snuxoll | bootcamp911: AAC is by far my personal favorite, but it's a pain to rip under linux without dipping down to the shell or using some obscure app to do it (because gstreamer can't mux a MP4 container to save its life) | 08:46 |
| bootcamp911 | :) | 08:46 |
| Kuroneko-chan | um. can someone help me? | 08:46 |
| * snuxoll kicks gstreamer in the shins | 08:46 | |
| snuxoll | Kuroneko-chan: I'm sure we can, what's your problem | 08:46 |
| demizer | lol | 08:46 |
| bootcamp911 | absolute garbage ??? | 08:46 |

| demizer | bootcamp911: proprietary | 08:46 |
| rww | nikolam: Looks like update-initramfs isn't happy about the "2.6.28-rc1-custom" kernel you appear to be using. Considering that's an unofficial kernel, you'll need to go to wherever you got it from to get support. | 08:46 |
| joerack | Hello, can you help me? My notebook speakers aren't working anymore | 08:46 |
| snuxoll | joerack: did you check your volume levels in the mixer? | 08:47 |
| nikolam | rww i never installed that kernel | 08:47 |
| bootcamp911 | ACC only support iPOD??? | 08:47 |
| demizer | joerack: are you trying to hear flash movies? | 08:47 |

| Kuroneko-chan | alright. | 08:48 |
| bootcamp911 | but i never seeing this format in Linux... | 08:48 |
| dayo_ | Kuroneko-chan: what is the exact Error? | 08:48 |
| snuxoll | joerack: maybe you're having pulseaudio conflicts, have you tried rebooting the machine? | 08:48 |
| joerack | yes | 08:48 |
| demizer | restart the sound system | 08:48 |
| Kuroneko-chan | An error has occurred during partioning.....nothing fancy lol | 08:48 |
| demizer | sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart | 08:49 |
| rww | nikolam: Well, something thinks that you have, since initramfs is looking for it. I'd probably start by removing some of the unofficial repositories you have installed and seeing if that helps. Considering that at least two of them are repositories for a different (albeit Xubuntu-based) distribution, though, I doubt we'll be able to help you much. | 08:49 |
| bootcamp911 | Sound Juicer can´t conv Mp3 ?????????? | 08:49 |

| predder | I'm trying to do a fresh install of kubuntu on my lappy. Everything is fine after the installation but the first set of updates always has a bunch of corrupted deb files that either don't install or mess up the system | 09:03 |
| snuxoll | Delvien: docky is a new feature in the gnome-do development build | 09:03 |
| snuxoll | Delvien: it is not currently in the version in the repositories, and likely won't be until 9.10 | 09:03 |
| snuxoll | Delvien: since docky is still very much alpha, says the lead developer for Do | 09:04 |
| Delvien | snuxoll its in repos :p | 09:04 |
| snuxoll | Delvien: yes, gnome-do is in the repos, but the specific feature you are looking for is not in the version we have | 09:04 |
| bazhang | Delvien, which repos | 09:04 |
| bazhang | oh gnome-do | 09:04 |
| Delvien | shrug, :p | 09:04 |
| bazhang | looked for docky | 09:05 |
| PC_Nerd | Hi - is it easy/possible to install ubuntu (server) from a remote computer.... Im about to purchase a server( for personal home use) and wanted to avoid having to purchase a CD drive in it. I would connect to it via ethernet via my computer | 09:05 |
| ruhaan_jslip | i tried everythin in the docs page | 09:05 |
| ruhaan_jslip | nothin works | 09:05 |
| Delvien | Well i keep seeing things about docky, but have yet to find how to get it. | 09:05 |
| snuxoll | PC_Nerd: you should be able to install it via unetbootin, but I don't see why you couldn't just borrow a CDROM drive from another machine | 09:05 |
| toader | Hi, in Ubuntu, is there any good GUI ftp tools for recommended? | 09:05 |
| koshar2 | PC_Nerd why dont you install from a usb key | 09:05 |
| stix_ | Hi guys. When I look at the output from the command free, I can see some bytes from cached/buffer. What is this? | 09:05 |
| rww | PC_Nerd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation%20without%20a%20CD | 09:05 |
| snuxoll | Delvien: because docky is a new feature in the development build of gnome-do | 09:05 |
| Slart | PC_Nerd: you could use an usb stick to install from... you might be able to conjure up some voodoo with tftp and boot over ethernet but I doubt it will save you any time | 09:06 |
| bullgard4 | rww: Yes. Thank you. | 09:06 |
| Delvien | snuxoll: i see, guess ill be building it from tarball then | 09:06 |
| snuxoll | Delvien: the only way to get it is to manually get the sources for Do from launchpad and compile it yourself, which is something I don't reccomend, especially since docky is still alpha | 09:06 |
| PC_Nerd | koshar2: so would that mean taking the ubuntu~.iso and simpyl making the usb bootable? (in which case it is possible to remove the "bootable" from teh usb for storage again yes?) | 09:06 |
| scientes | how can i boot without nvidia without uninstalling it | 09:07 |
| scientes | ? | 09:07 |
| koshar2 | PC_Nerd or pop the hdd into another machine and install OS and retern to server | 09:07 |
| snuxoll | Delvien: and when I say alpha I mean 'buggier than all hell and it will crash and leave nasty stack traces that you don't want to look at' | 09:07 |
| PC_Nerd | ah ok ( except I dont want to have to be playing with HDD's) Ill read through the usb section on that page - thanks! | 09:07 |
| snuxoll | Delvien: so really, don't :) | 09:07 |

| ruhaan_jslip | so i can see what the problem is | 09:12 |
| snuxoll | yadav: unfortunately I haven't done much with FTP servers due to their general insecurities | 09:12 |
| yadav | i m trying to upload files to client's server .... | 09:12 |
| snuxoll | cweigle: to avoid bad packaging you might want to attempt to build it with pbuilder | 09:12 |
| yadav | so how can i upload files to client server ? | 09:12 |
| yadav | any solution ? | 09:12 |
| snuxoll | cweigle: since pubilder will throw errors if your build dependencies are bad | 09:12 |
| cweigle | well i was gonna follow the guide on the website but ok | 09:12 |
| snuxoll | yadav: if you just want to upload files to a client server why not use SFTP? | 09:12 |

| acidicbase | maxagaz: find the desired root u want to use | 09:19 |
| snuxoll | bouma: this is not a practice I, nor Ubuntu support, however | 09:19 |

| Delvien | bouma blame apple and their crappy way of business. | 09:19 |
| maxagaz | acidicbase: but i have two grubs | 09:19 |

| Delvien | snuxoll well, yes, but its the truth. | 09:20 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: find /boot/grub/stage1 | 09:20 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: should return 2 places | 09:20 |

| acidicbase | maxagaz: then root (hd?, ?) | 09:20 |
| snuxoll | Delvien: you can't go blaming apple because thier product only works as advertised | 09:20 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: depending on which grub u want | 09:20 |
| ikonia | PC_Nerd: how is that relevant ? | 09:20 |

| snuxoll | Delvien: they never advertised linux support on their box, if you bought one assuming otherwise you're a fool | 09:21 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: and quit + restart | 09:21 |

| bouma | !RockBox | 09:21 |
| ubottu | rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! | 09:21 |
| temudjin_ | snuxoll: to add support a log in other file, I need add a line in the syslog.conf....yes? | 09:21 |
| Delvien | do NOT install rockbox | 09:21 |
| maxagaz | acidicbase: find returns: (hd0,1) and (hd0,4) | 09:21 |
| ikonia | Delvien: please don't make such a general comment | 09:21 |
| bouma | ok thanks | 09:21 |
| ikonia | Delvien: rockbox works for many people | 09:21 |
| snuxoll | delcoyote: I'm simply saying that Apple's business practices are just fine, people's expecations aren't :) | 09:21 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: correct one is suse and one is wtvr other OS u installed | 09:21 |
| bouma | well i wouldnt mind | 09:21 |
| snuxoll | ikonia: rockbox doesn't work an an iPod touch | 09:21 |
| bouma | i mean i cant find the firmware images to patch | 09:22 |
| ikonia | snuxoll: no, but rockbox is fine | 09:22 |
| bouma | sigh | 09:22 |
| bouma | h3lp | 09:22 |
| Delvien | ikonia what snux said, and "works" is barely the word i would describe it as. | 09:22 |
| snuxoll | bouma: again, I don't condone it, but jailbreak it, that's the only way you'll be able to do anything | 09:22 |
| Guest38066 | rww i didnt meant to english ....i meant to SSH,OS/distro... | 09:22 |
| bouma | Delvien: thanks, well so can i dd to it ? | 09:22 |
| ikonia | Delvien: for you, others find it fine | 09:22 |
| Delvien | Doesnt GTKpod work with a jailbroken itouch? | 09:22 |
| === chilli0_ is now known as chilli0 | ||
| snuxoll | Delvien: I believe libgpod does, yes | 09:23 |
| maxagaz | acidicbase, i first installed ubuntu, then i installed suse on a different partition, and suse installed a grub which runs before the grub of ubuntu | 09:23 |
| Delvien | snuxoll Well thats good. *pats his Android phone* | 09:23 |
| PC_Nerd | ikonia: basically explaining why I wanted to run ubuntu serve rnot desktop ( since you said "ubuntu desktop makes a great server" - which im not disputing, jsut personal preference) | 09:23 |
| snuxoll | Delvien: android, yuck -_- | 09:23 |
| koshar2 | bouma you need to look up jailbreakl | 09:23 |
| Gianpon | Hi everyone. I know it is not the right place to ask but I did'nt find a better one. How can I fit an html cell in a table with the content? My problem is not weight but height. Thanks. | 09:24 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: Suse's grub should auto detect ubuntu | 09:24 |
| Delvien | snuxoll It's nice | 09:24 |
| maxagaz | acidicbase, it did | 09:24 |
| snuxoll | Delvien: am quite happy with Symbian S60, kthnx :) | 09:24 |
| bouma | ikonia: so can i install rockbox on my itouch ? | 09:24 |
| ikonia | PC_Nerd: ahh I see | 09:24 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: so whats the problem? | 09:24 |
| snuxoll | bouma: no, you can't | 09:24 |
| maxagaz | acidicbase, but it detects the grub of ubuntu actually | 09:24 |
| rww | Gianpon: Ask in #html. This channel is for Ubuntu Linux support only. | 09:24 |
| ikonia | bouma: I don't know, snuxoll suggest it doesn't work | 09:24 |
| Delvien | snuxoll to each their own, personally i think symbian is a piece :p | 09:24 |
| ikonia | Delvien: I'd advise you to listen to someone who has done it or knows it won't work | 09:24 |
| ikonia | Delvien: sorry - not you | 09:24 |
| ikonia | Delvien: typo | 09:24 |
| Delvien | lies! | 09:25 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: so you just select ubuntu -> ubuntu grub -> ubuntu? Its just one extra step | 09:25 |
| Delvien | :P | 09:25 |
| ikonia | bouma: that was for you | 09:25 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: if you want to change that behavior you would need to look into your /boot/grub/menu.lst in suse | 09:25 |
| Gianpon | rwat rww: thak you | 09:25 |
| Delvien | snuxoll hmm i must be missing something, compiled alpha2 of gnome-do. No docky | 09:25 |
| maxagaz | acidicbase, the problem is that when i run my laptop, i have to choose ubuntu, then it goes to the grub of ubuntu where i have to choose ubuntu again | 09:25 |
| bouma | snuxoll: i may just try rtfm, for a bit, but i you know, have you tried to install roxbox on a itouch ? | 09:25 |
| maxagaz | acidicbase, i want to get rid of suse | 09:26 |
| snuxoll | bouma: the rockbox website doesn't list compatibility for the iPod touch, so I assume it's not possible | 09:26 |
| maxagaz | acidicbase, and its grub | 09:26 |
| rww | snuxoll, bouma: It's not. | 09:26 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: so you don't want suse at all? Then just reinstall grub again | 09:26 |
| snuxoll | bouma: I haven't dealt with jailbreaking them either, but there are quite a few guides a quick google away | 09:26 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: find out which partition you setup ubuntu | 09:26 |
| Delvien | bouma The itouch firmware is good stuff, you will not want to install rockbox, first rockbox doesnt support touch input on the itouch, and is meant for older (only older be generations) ipods. | 09:26 |
| sajuuk | hey guys im trying to migrate my ubuntu 8.10 server to a brand new hdd, I have geparted up and linux sees the destination hdd, how do I do what I want to do? | 09:26 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: i'm guessing you probably did it on hd1 | 09:27 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: are you just trying to clone the disk? | 09:27 |
| ikonia | sajuuk: I'd advise you to install ubuntu server onto your new disk, then migrate your data across | 09:27 |
| Source | Can I boot with grub if I'm using XFS? | 09:27 |
| Delvien | bouma secondly, look up jailbreaking your itouch and using it with libgpod (as stated by someone in this channel) or GTKpod | 09:27 |
| snuxoll | Source: only if your /boot is on a non-xfs partition | 09:27 |
| Source | hmm | 09:27 |
| Delvien | bouma when I had an ipod i used GTKpod, it worked well. | 09:27 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: so just follow the step above: sudo grub , root(hd0, 1), setup (hd0), quit | 09:27 |
| Source | can I reiserfs in my /boot? | 09:27 |
| ikonia | Source: I would suggest ext3 for compatability | 09:28 |
| snuxoll | Source: yes, but I don't see why you'd want to do that, just use ext3 for it | 09:28 |
| acidicbase | maxagaz: you will now default to ubuntu's grub | 09:28 |
| sajuuk | snuxoll: pretty much, just copying the partitions over | 09:28 |
| ikonia | Source: it should only be 50meg - so not a waste | 09:28 |
| sarmisak | is anyone running a server from a CF card? | 09:28 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdX | 09:28 |
| cweigle | snuxoll, what was that file you told me for package building? | 09:28 |
| ikonia | snuxoll: can't do that if the disk sizes are different | 09:28 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: where the former is the drive that want to clone from, and the latter is the destination | 09:28 |
| cweigle | i had to put more wood on the fireplace | 09:28 |
| Source | just a question | 09:28 |
| Source | :P | 09:28 |
| snuxoll | ikonia: if the drive is larger it will work fine | 09:28 |
| Delvien | cweigle: pbuilder | 09:29 |
| snuxoll | ikonia: I suppose I should have checked that first | 09:29 |
| cweigle | Thank you delvien | 09:29 |
| ikonia | snuxoll: but cause problems with the spare space when you try to add partitions | 09:29 |
| Delvien | Yw | 09:29 |
| cweigle | Is it available through terminal download? | 09:29 |
| snuxoll | ikonia: eh? no problems caused, just expand the partitions, I've done it many times | 09:29 |
| Delvien | cweigle: good way to check "sudo apt-cache search package" | 09:29 |
| Delvien | cweigle: replace "package" with the name of the package | 09:29 |
| snuxoll | Delvien: apt-cache policy is more useful for checking a specific package | 09:30 |
| Source | ext3 in my /boot and everything is gonna be alright | 09:30 |
| ikonia | snuxoll: ahhh, yes, I suppose gparted could work, fdisk throws errors as the geomirty is off | 09:30 |
| ikonia | snuxoll: good point | 09:30 |
| snuxoll | ikonia: parted is a little smarter than fdisk :) | 09:30 |
| cweigle | i havent slept in 48 hours | 09:30 |
| sajuuk | snuxoll: so 'dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb' is the command? | 09:30 |
| cweigle | and ive never felt better | 09:30 |
| Delvien | snuxoll for all intensive purposes, its exactly what he needs | 09:30 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: yes, just make sure /dev/sdb is as large or larger | 09:30 |
| sajuuk | snuxoll: I have made sure of that heheh :) | 09:30 |
| cweigle | huh weird | 09:31 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: trying to clone drives to a smaller disk generally results in uber failure, but yeah, that's it (double check to make sure you put the right drives in though) | 09:31 |
| cweigle | my terminal froze at building dependency tree | 09:31 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: since cloning a blank disk to your disk full of data would be a bad thing to do | 09:31 |
| Delvien | cweigle: that feeling will end. Its how your body reacts to lack of sleep. | 09:31 |
| sajuuk | snuxoll: yeah Im very confident this is gonna pull off alright | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 09:31 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: well, have fun then | 09:32 |
| sajuuk | im just gonna free up this 160 gig hdd for my windows comp | 09:32 |
| cweigle | I was kidding delvien, I slept 3 hours | 09:32 |
| sajuuk | snuxoll: you will be on for the next hour at most? | 09:32 |
| Delvien | cweigle: Well... its 4:30 am here and I havent slept yet. Pardon my inability to pick up jokes/sarcasm. | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | cweigle: its quality not quantity that counts | 09:32 |
| qwery | anyone has any experience with tv tuners???... | 09:32 |
| cweigle | well i dreamt of my fiancee so i think it was good quality | 09:33 |
| joerack | MY notebook speakers aren't working: I've tested in windows and they work | 09:33 |
| Delvien | ActionParsnip: actually, quantity, when it comes to sleep | 09:33 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: it's 02:32 and I'm trying to get up before 12:00, but since I still have some cleaning to do I'd say it's a pretty safe bet I wil be | 09:33 |
| qwery | I get lots of bttv0: timeout: drop=281 irq=80360/80360, risc=345eb5ac, bits: VSYNC HSYNC OFLOW ...is that harmfull?? | 09:33 |
| Digital7 | Does sudo have a variable for passwords? | 09:33 |
| Delvien | ActionParsnip: REM cycle. | 09:33 |
| Delvien | Digital7: define variable | 09:33 |
| snuxoll | Digital7: no, it does not | 09:33 |
| Digital7 | e.g. sudo -u somename -p password | 09:33 |
| tremmolow | cweigle too much REM might be bad :) | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Delvien: you could sleep 8 hours but if you never hit deep sleep you wont be overly rested | 09:33 |
| ikonia | Digital7: you can do thatif -p is a valid argument | 09:34 |
| snuxoll | ikonia: which it's not | 09:34 |
| cweigle | Lol this is a computer room and we are talking about sleeping | 09:34 |
| tremmolow | ActionParsnip that was probably a better way of saying what I meant :) | 09:34 |
| ikonia | snuxoll: not checked | 09:34 |
| snuxoll | ikonia: neither sudo nor su accept passwords as arguments to prevent people from putting them in scripts | 09:34 |

| cweigle | double click the speaker and check to make sure absolutely nohting is muted | 09:35 |
| ikonia | -p is to use a custom password prompt | 09:35 |

| snuxoll | sajuuk: that command will work just fine in that case | 09:36 |
| ikonia | rxbandit: it's a gui | 09:36 |
| Digital7 | ikonia: can you ascertain as to what that prompt does? it does not function in a manner that is helpful in this situation, no? | 09:36 |

| Kartagis | thanks snuxoll and ikonia | 09:36 |
| rxbandit | ikonia: yeah but i need to launch it over SSH forwarding X | 09:37 |
| ikonia | Digital7: it's just different ways of "asking" you to input a password | 09:37 |
| Digital7 | ikonia: perhaps i just answered my own question | 09:37 |
| tremmolow | rxbandit I can't remember the cli but there are linux restricted modules in the the package manager | 09:37 |
| snuxoll | rxbandit: Hardware Drivers is also known as jockey, to run the GTK interface from the command line use jockey-gtk | 09:37 |
| ikonia | rxbandit: just install the package you want | 09:37 |
| sajuuk | snuxoll: alright, but how would I be able to make them bigger apart from formatting the drive to get a bigger space? | 09:37 |
| ikonia | rxbandit: rather than using the gui is your trying to use ssh | 09:37 |

| sajuuk | snuxoll: i find the exact size through terminal yeah? | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | carrera: i had that a few times a while back, i just rolled with it | 09:38 |

| ActionParsnip | benjick_: you can tell grub to boot from a windows ISO and start the install procedure, but thats grub and not linux | 09:46 |

| EE_BB | example .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6 | 09:47 |
| EE_BB | HOST-RESOURCES-V2-MIB SNMP MIB | 09:47 |
| EE_BB | have you any idea ? | 09:47 |
| sajuuk | snuxoll: can't connect to the internet with the server :\ is it possible to do so with a cross over cable connecting from it to my laptop? | 09:47 |
| FloodBot1 | EE_BB: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | carrera: update updates your systems knowledge of available packages and on what repo they are available | 09:47 |
| rong_ | I need help getting my blackberry phone bluetooth setup in intrepid | 09:47 |
| EE_BB | ? | 09:47 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: eh? | 09:47 |
| tremmolow | rong_ I seem to remember that just worked | 09:48 |
| * snuxoll really needs to finish writing his support tracker so he gets less lossed when juggling multiple issues at once | 09:48 | |
| tremmolow | ... at least in Hardy it did | 09:48 |
| sajuuk | snuxoll: I use wireless and ubuntu doesn't see my wireless belkin device | 09:48 |
| carrera | ActionParsnip, ah, so update doesn't actually "upgrade" any of the system compnents? | 09:48 |
| bouma | snuxoll: is there an easy way to get filesystem access to an itouch from the commandline ?? | 09:48 |
| tremmolow | the default pin is 1234 if that's what you need to know | 09:48 |
| adalhelm | can I have the attention of an op please? | 09:48 |
| sh1 | how do i install acrobat reader in ubuntu? | 09:48 |
| snuxoll | bouma: aside frome jailbreaking it and using sshfs, no | 09:48 |
| sh1 | what is the package name | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | carrera: no, it just makes your system realise there are newer versions of stuff on the repos | 09:48 |
| tremmolow | I assume you need to change that for safety? | 09:48 |

| bazhang | adalhelm, ?? | 09:49 |
| snuxoll | sh1: there is already software included with Ubuntu that can read PDF's (evince) | 09:49 |
| adalhelm | Myrtti: yeesh, don't yell :( | 09:49 |
| sh1 | how do i view .pdf files | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | carrera: if you simply use apt-get upgrade without updating, your system will not upgrade even if there are newer packages as it has no idea they exist | 09:49 |
| Myrtti | adalhelm: well it better be important | 09:49 |
| snuxoll | sh1: you can read them out of the box | 09:49 |
| sajuuk | snuxoll: so what I could do is connect the non- internet comp to my laptop which has internet, sorta like a bridge | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | sh1: open them with xpdf | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !pdf | sh1 | 09:49 |
| ubottu | sh1: pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) | 09:49 |
| adalhelm | Myrtti: I'd just like to be unbanned. I've waited a few days, and I was banned for a silly reason. I was banned because I was discussing xorg in offtopic. | 09:49 |

| Slart | sh1: openoffice can read those | 09:50 |
| maxagaz | acidicbase, my ubuntu looks to be (hd0, 4) | 09:50 |

| sajuuk | snuxoll: could you describe how to do fdisk exact formatting for me? | 09:50 |
| Mba7eth | sh1: powerful as msoffice ... and can read .doc .docx | 09:50 |
| maxagaz | acidicbase, this was written just after i booted again on ubuntu | 09:51 |
| rong_ | I think it the authori thing | 09:51 |
| sh1 | okay i will check that | 09:51 |
| sh1 | thanks | 09:51 |
| tremmolow | rong_ the trouble is I don't have a bluetooth device to hand to walk through it | 09:51 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: fdisk is pretty simple, it just asks where to create the partition and how big to make it | 09:51 |
| carrera | ActionParsnip, it sure does. I was a Red Hat user for almost 10 years, but now I have Ubuntu even on my server | 09:51 |
| Mba7eth | sh1: they are preinstalled on ubuntu.... check ur application mentu | 09:51 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: it should say the size of the partition when you printed the partition list | 09:51 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: run sudo fdisk /dev/sdb, then type 'c' to create a new partition | 09:52 |
| rong_ | Anyone here setup there blackberry or other bluetooth phone working in intrepid? | 09:52 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: put it wherever you want and make it the same size | 09:52 |
| tenang | how do I remove a theme? | 09:52 |
| Gautam | hello there,i have installed vsftpd....but can not find application to run...can anybody help me...how to run application ? | 09:52 |
| carrera | ActionParsnip, just one more question regarding system upgrades. Why doesn't the upgrade switch automatically do an update first? | 09:52 |
| sajuuk | snuxoll: ok so i read the blocks for size? | 09:53 |
| snuxoll | Gautam: vsftpd is a daemon, it's launched by the system init scripts | 09:53 |
| abyss_ | Gautam: try in console /etc/init.d/programname start | 09:53 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: yes | 09:53 |

| chris_ | hi everyone. Is there anyone in here who can help me get the wifi function key on my Asus laptop to work? I am sick of having to boot to Windows to turn on my wifi. | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | carrera: it hopes its already done, I gues because update uses bandwidth, you could alias it so it does both | 09:54 |
| sajuuk | snuxoll : ok cool but when I partition it, it wants me to go from the start of the drive and mentions cylinders, so its obviously not letting me, at the moment, setting size by bytes | 09:54 |
| tremmolow | I only say cos that didn't seem like a sensible place to put it to me :) | 09:54 |
| abyss_ | chris_: what model of wifi you got in laptop | 09:54 |
| Gautam | it says permission denied...how to set permission for it ? | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | carrera: redhat is pretty decent if a bit bloated | 09:54 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: you can just use gparted to create the partitions | 09:54 |
| abyss_ | Gautam: try sudo in form of the commandf | 09:54 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk: probably easier that way | 09:54 |
| carrera | ActionParsnip, thanks... bbl, have to restart after my extraneous kernel upgrade :) | 09:54 |
| snuxoll | Gautam: sudo invoke-rc.d vsftpd start | 09:55 |
| abyss_ | Gautam: *in front of the command* | 09:55 |
| carrera | ActionParsnip, and that causes problems when you're on an extra slow connection | 09:55 |
| Gadu | the CPU monitor on my dock gets as low as -9.5%. Why does it get into the negatives? *using AMD duel core* | 09:55 |
| kiskool_ | kbarcode info ... | 09:56 |
| Gautam | it says /etc/init.d/programname start /usr/sbin/vsftpd already running. | 09:56 |

| Gautam | how can i view application like i do in windows ? | 09:56 |
| snuxoll | Gautam: vsftpd is a daemon, it has no graphical interface | 09:57 |
| snuxoll | Gautam: to configure it you'll need to edit it's config files located in /etc/vsftpd if I recall correctly | 09:57 |
| sajuuk | snuxoll : gparted only works in gigs | 09:57 |
| Gautam | stefan then can you tell me which ftp would i use ...for GUI | 09:57 |
| snuxoll | Gautam: there isn't a GUI FTP server, that's kind of the point -_- | 09:58 |
| Gautam | i can not use command base ftp all the time | 09:58 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk_: hrm :/ | 09:58 |
| sajuuk_ | snuxoll : ok network bridging isn't gonna work | 09:58 |
| snuxoll | Gautam: I have a feeling you want a FTP client and not a FTP server | 09:58 |
| abyss_ | anyone might got a solution for my problem? (My ALT-GR Q or E combination dont work since 8.10) | 09:58 |
| tremmolow | rong_ there do appear to be some Bluetooth issues in Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/249448 | 09:58 |

| Gautam | i just need functionality like i did with core ftp \ | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Gautam: filezilla | 09:59 |
| Gautam | when i was with window | 09:59 |
| snuxoll | Gautam: no, I'm saying there aren't gui FTP *SERVERS*, you want a FTP *CLIENT* | 09:59 |
| abyss_ | Gautam: you have to take a difference between an server/demon and a client | 09:59 |
| Gautam | yes filezilla like | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Gautam: filezilla is i the repos | 09:59 |

| sajuuk_ | snuxoll: gparted gives me the option of unmounting the sda5 partion, which is the linux system thats currently on, could i just unmount it, which would allow me to copy and paste the partition to the next drive? | 10:00 |

| snuxoll | sajuuk_: mount the first disk wherever | 10:03 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: if you install the 40 gig disk you don't | 10:03 |
| rdw200169 | Gautam: yeah, or you have a package manager open | 10:03 |
| chris_ | ActionParsnip: what is xev? | 10:03 |
| chris_ | ohh event tester | 10:03 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk_: then it's simply cd /path/to/mount && tar cvzf backup.tar.gz ./* | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | chris_: it shows codes for system inputs like mouse and keyboard | 10:03 |
| chris_ | ActionParsnip: No | 10:04 |
| sarmisak | snuxoll: he can use rsync also instead of tar'ing, it might take less time. | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | chris_: if the keypress generates its own code, you can use your shortcut manager to use that code and do whatever you want | 10:04 |
| snuxoll | sarmisak: it might | 10:04 |
| snuxoll | sarmisak: hadn't thought of rsync :/ | 10:04 |
| sajuuk_ | snuxoll: ok so when I tar, I just have = or > the same size of the old partition to where im untarring to? if you understand that, so in other words, no exact partitioning? | 10:04 |
| chris_ | ActionParsnip: just realised I had to have the event tester in focus when pressing the F keys | 10:05 |
| Gautam | yes synaptic was open | 10:05 |
| chris_ | ActionParsnip: yes key codes come up for the F buttons | 10:05 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk_: actually, do what sarmisak suggested and use rsync instead, will be much faster | 10:05 |
| chris_ | ActionParsnip: how do I configure the shortcut manager? | 10:05 |
| sajuuk_ | snuxoll: rsync? | 10:05 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk_: format your other disk and mount it | 10:05 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk_: rsync is a file synchronization tool | 10:05 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk_: it duplicaties files while maintaining permissions and all sorts of other goodies | 10:06 |
| sajuuk_ | do i need a boot partition or can i just have 1 ext 3 partition and a swap parittion and have boot flags on the ext 3 partition? | 10:06 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk_: rsync /path/to/source/disk /path/to/dest/disk | 10:06 |
| sajuuk_ | is rsync come standard with ubuntu server? | 10:06 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk_: you'll need to put your /boot in a place where grub can read it and install grub to the disks MBR | 10:06 |
| snuxoll | sajuuk_: rsync comes standard with ubuntu period | 10:06 |
| sajuuk_ | right | 10:06 |
| sajuuk_ | lets just get the part'ing done | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !shortcut | chris_ | 10:07 |
| ubottu | chris_: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 10:07 |
| snuxoll | sarmisak: I think I'm going to hit the hay, would you mind taking over sajuuk_ for me? | 10:07 |

| embrik | exit | 10:13 |
| Slart | ropetin: I'm not sure if the alternate cd can do it though | 10:13 |
| Slart | !alternate | ropetin | 10:13 |
| ubottu | ropetin: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 10:13 |
| sajuuk_ | sarmisak: i tried mounting it but fstab doesn't see it so im gonna tweak it so it can | 10:13 |
| chris_ | is there any way I can quickly kill or close all tasks with the same binary (Evolution?)? | 10:14 |
| Slart | chris_: pkill perhaps | 10:14 |
| ropetin | Slart: thanks, the Alternate CD can do it, I was just hoping to not have to DL it! | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | chris_: killall evolution | 10:14 |
| ropetin | Thanks though :) | 10:14 |
| cableroy | Hi, suddenly my applets has moved away from the top bar and is on the bottom bar but not attached to it, the applets are on my desktop, some are, but not all. Why is that? Ubuntu/gnome | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | chris_: or ps -ef | grep evolution | 10:15 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: for now let's just mount it temporarily, do you know the device id of the new disk like /dev/sdc1 ? | 10:15 |
| sajuuk_ | sarmisak: yep sdb1 | 10:15 |
| Slart | ropetin: I can't promise that the alternate cd can do it.. but it does other "weird" things.. install to raid and such | 10:15 |
| ne2k__ | any thoughts on whether this new computer with Ubuntu and MythTV would make a suitable media centre? http://www.nvidia.com/object/sff_ion.html | 10:15 |
| Slart | ropetin: the desktop install cd is pretty limited when it comes to install options | 10:15 |
| chris_ | thank you for that - especially ActionParsnip - killall worked! | 10:15 |
| chris_ | i'll try xev again... | 10:15 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: great, then try this; sudo mkdir /media/new_disk; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/new_disk | 10:15 |
| Slart | ne2k__: make sure the nvidia linux drivers support the 9400 card first | 10:16 |
| sajuuk_ | sarmisak: done | 10:17 |
| chris_ | no - xev is not recognising the Fn + Fx keys | 10:17 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: have you installed rsync? | 10:17 |
| sajuuk_ | sarmisak: how would I know if i did? | 10:17 |
| Slart | ne2k__: also.. if it plans on using CUDA to help decode stuff you might want to make sure it work in linux | 10:17 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: try this; rsync --help | 10:18 |
| ropetin | Slart: yeah, but it's nice to install from a GUI, makes it look really easy | 10:18 |
| sajuuk_ | nope | 10:18 |
| ropetin | Thanks for your help | 10:18 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: then try this; sudo apt-get install rsync | 10:18 |
| sajuuk_ | sarmisak: no internet access | 10:18 |
| ne2k__ | !CUDA | 10:18 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about CUDA | 10:18 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: how are you chatting here then? | 10:18 |
| Slart | ropetin: yup.. but it's just the install you have to suffer through.. after that it's the same as the regular install | 10:19 |
| VSpike | Does this font spacing look wierd to you? http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-Inbox_for_john_geonix.com_-_Thunderbird.png | 10:19 |

| sajuuk_ | sarmisak: where as linux doesn't see the belkin | 10:19 |
| Digital7 | Is there a problem with gconf-editor's nautilus settings in intrepid? | 10:19 |
| sajuuk_ | sarmisak: which is a usb wifi card | 10:19 |

| Slart | VSpike: yes, a little... | 10:20 |
| addeboy | Hello. I have a little problem regarding total disk space. I have two 500 GB disks from WD, WDC WD5000AAKS-00YGA0 and WD5000AAKS-22YGA0, and df -h reports different total free space for them - 459GB and 463GB. Both of them are ext3 and have reserved blocks set to 0. I pasted the output of a few commands on http://paste.ubuntu.com/105484/ | 10:20 |
| Tim__Reichhart | I finally got the stupid thing | 10:20 |
| sajuuk_ | sarmisak: can I get rsynch from source? and no im connected to my ubuntu laptop and the other comp that im operating on is the other linux comp | 10:20 |
| VSpike | Slart: Any idea what might be causing it? | 10:20 |
| Slart | VSpike: I mean.. the text in the list of mails.. not the folder view or the mail content view | 10:20 |
| ne2k__ | addeboy: they are different models -- they probably have different sizes | 10:20 |
| VSpike | Slart: yes, it's not all fonts - just some. Bold ones look the worst | 10:20 |
| koshar2 | sajuuk_ you may be able to get the deb , i wouldnt think rsync has a lot of dependencys. | 10:21 |
| s_abirami | how to play rmvb files in ubuntui | 10:21 |
| VSpike | s_abirami: mplayer, probably | 10:21 |
| s_abirami | its not playing | 10:21 |
| sajuuk_ | koshar2: just looking on the site | 10:21 |
| adalhelm | okay, is there a repo I need to enable in order to use skype? | 10:21 |
| ne2k__ | addeboy: oh, hang on, they both have 500097024000 bytes | 10:21 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: I have no idea about that, sorry, do you have the install cd available? it might be installed from there | 10:21 |
| addeboy | ne2k__, df -h reports 500097024000 bytes for both | 10:21 |
| s_abirami | i am getting error like "cannot find codec matching -vo and video format 0X30345652" VSpike | 10:21 |
| Slart | VSpike: I think it looks the same here.. although I've never had as many unread mails as you have there so I haven't noticed | 10:22 |
| sarmisak | I'll be right back... | 10:22 |
| VSpike | Slart: I made them unread to make a good screenshot :) | 10:22 |
| ne2k__ | addeboy: they have different inode count -- does this mean they have different parameters? | 10:22 |
| killmonky07 | Anyone on know much about fileshareing and networking? | 10:22 |
| ne2k__ | addeboy: yes, they have different inodes per group | 10:22 |
| sajuuk_ | http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/ which one do i get? koshar2, sarmisak? | 10:22 |
| VSpike | Slart: I have other font oddities too - that was just an easy one to grab | 10:22 |
| ne2k__ | addeboy: and different inode blocks per group | 10:23 |
| addeboy | ne2k__, now I noticed this, but could affect free space? | 10:23 |
| koshar2 | sajuuk_ personally oi would get the deb from the pools of your dist | 10:23 |
| adalhelm | okay, is there a repo I need to enable in order to use skype? | 10:23 |
| Slart | VSpike: have you tried playing around with the settings in preferences, display, fonts? | 10:23 |
| sajuuk_ | koshar2: how would i do that? | 10:23 |
| VSpike | Slart: to some extent, yeah | 10:23 |
| koshar2 | sajuuk_ your unlikely to have build essentuals installed to compile if you dont have rsync | 10:23 |
| koshar2 | sajuuk_ what OS is the live session your in ? | 10:24 |
| sajuuk_ | koshar2: its not in live session, its running off hdd | 10:24 |
| ne2k__ | addeboy: were they both created with the the same command? | 10:24 |
| ne2k__ | addeboy: yes, I think it could affect free space. I don't know exactly how | 10:24 |
| chris_ | just tried keytouch and it does not work either | 10:24 |
| sajuuk_ | koshar2: sarmisak: what about just tarring? | 10:25 |
| chris_ | guys I have to go - thanks for your help | 10:25 |
| koshar2 | sajuuk_ where are you going to tar to, do you have a 3rd partition available? | 10:25 |
| bonhoffer | how do i force my changes to /etc/fstab to take (mount) | 10:25 |
| addeboy | ne2k__, filesystems were created with gparted, and I think I had different settings there. | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bonhoffer: sudo mount -a | 10:25 |
| sajuuk_ | koshar2: 3rd partition where? on the 1st harddrive ? | 10:26 |
| bonhoffer | thanks | 10:26 |
| ne2k__ | addeboy: there you go. without reading about how ext2/3 actually works, I can't give you any more info! | 10:26 |
| koshar2 | sajuuk_ anywhere to temperarily store the archive, | 10:26 |
| PC_Nerd | can you dual boot a USB drive for both server and desktop editions of ubuntu? | 10:27 |
| addeboy | ne2k__, thanks for infos. Next time I'll try to use the same number of inodes per group on different hdd's to see if the problem persists | 10:27 |
| sajuuk_ | koshar2: yeah i got plenty of room, i can spare nother 100 gig although i only have 20 gig of linux parts to fit | 10:27 |
| Digital7 | PC_Nerd: as long as your motherboard supports booting from USB, you should be good to go | 10:27 |
| koshar2 | sajuuk_ source files >tar to temr archive somewhere > untar the destination dir, actually you may be able to use the destination drive as the temp tar location, | 10:27 |
| lonel | hi when i reinstalled webmin,not a single module s showing up | 10:27 |
| lonel | why is that? | 10:27 |
| Digital7 | PC_Nerd: and assuming you plan your bootloader accordingly | 10:27 |
| PC_Nerd | how woudl I go about that using a tool likeunetbootin? | 10:28 |
| Digital7 | PC_Nerd: haven't ever used unetbootin, sorry | 10:28 |
| sajuuk_ | koshar2: ok i made a partition that will fit the tar | 10:28 |
| PC_Nerd | np | 10:29 |
| sajuuk_ | I will need to mount it and stuff, the drive is called sda2 | 10:29 |
| sajuuk_ | partition is called sda2 | 10:29 |
| koshar2 | sajuuk_ i dont know the tar switches to preserve permissions and timestamps, | 10:29 |

| Bacta | that dumb blonde couldn't work out how to get internet | 10:30 |
| sajuuk_ | koshar2: i got the temporary partition up | 10:30 |
| killmonky07 | Share files, yes. | 10:31 |

| vegombrei | how do i automate irssi to come directly here when i type irssi instead of all the annoying stuff | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | killmonky07: install and configure samba on the system that is to share files | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !samba | killmonky07 | 10:31 |
| ubottu | killmonky07: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

| Gautam | can anyone plz tell me how to install core ftp gui based ? | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | killmonky07: when asking for help pleasae be as descriptive as possible. "network 2 ubuntu boxes" doesnt meana right lot | 10:32 |
| bannik | can anyone tell me whats wrong with my ubuntu 8.10 - after install the nvidia driver my pc just goes too a blank screen and sorta frozen after the load bar finishes the keyboard works (num lock and caps lock) but its very slow | 10:33 |
| bannik | any ideas? | 10:33 |
| killmonky07 | ActionParsnip: Right sorry, I have a desktop with some data on it that i need on the laptop. I have installed samba on both computers and just cannot get them to show up in the workgroup. | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | bannik: did you run: gksudo nvidia-settings | 10:34 |
| sajuuk_ | oh crap | 10:34 |
| sajuuk_ | sarmisak, koshar2: you guys still here? I got rsync | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | killmonky07: read guides on samba, you need to configure what folders are shared, you dont simply install samba and its all done | 10:34 |
| bannik | how? after i install the driver it always goes blank and i cant do anything no terminal no nothing, i have too use live cd to use my pc, this is a new install of intrepid but i have already reinstalled 3 times already same results with same driver | 10:35 |
| bannik | its the same for hardy install i did yesterday | 10:35 |
| Gautam | can anyone plz tell me how to install core ftp gui based ? | 10:35 |
| carrera | Greetings Earthlings! | 10:35 |
| koshar2 | sajuuk you right to go then | 10:36 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: ok, now we can sync your folders | 10:36 |
| sajuuk_ | sarmisak: how do we do that? | 10:36 |
| rdw200169 | woot, i finally got Korean + Latex + UTF-8 working... woot! | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | bannik: you install the driver via repos, then run the command, it will moan saying you need to run a command as root (use sudo), you will then restart x server and then you can configure your display | 10:36 |
| sajuuk_ | oh you guys prob don't want to know how I got rsync working.... | 10:36 |
| koshar2 | sudo rsync mount destination | 10:36 |
| koshar2 | sajuuk_ do tell | 10:37 |
| bannik | okay i'll give it a go | 10:37 |
| bannik | but what if it goes blank again | 10:37 |
| sajuuk_ | it was there all along, i just typed rsych into command, not rsync... :| | 10:37 |
| oCean_ | Gautam: isn't core ftp Windows only? | 10:37 |
| bannik | how will i be able too use ubuntu | 10:37 |
| sajuuk_ | bit like unmount where its umount XD | 10:38 |
| sajuuk_ | koshar2: so what is the exact command? | 10:38 |
| Gautam | i used there...but dont know abt to run here | 10:38 |
| koshar2 | sajuuk_ whats your destinations mountpoint? | 10:39 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: just run rsync -uaAH --progress / /media/new_disk/ --exclude /media/new_disk/ | 10:39 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: that should do it for you | 10:39 |
| Gautam | oCean, is vsftpd also gui based ? | 10:39 |
| anr78 | how can I check which display driver I am using? | 10:39 |
| _Lucretia_ | I just did a load of updates (system now up to date) for my 8.04 version and now all videos (flash, totem, mpolayer) won't play properly, they start and then stop, just freeze. | 10:40 |
| koshar2 | sarmisak dont you need -r for recersive? | 10:40 |
| * sajuuk_ looks away from terminal vomit | 10:40 | |
| sarmisak | koshar2: -uaAH handles it all ;) | 10:40 |
| sajuuk_ | 30 seconds | 10:41 |
| sajuuk_ | ok so wots next ? | 10:41 |
| Gautam | is it possible to use vsftpd as gui based ? | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Gautam: no need, vsftpd.conf will setup all you need | 10:43 |
| sajuuk_ | sarmisak: ok i had to cancel it cos i noticed it was copying stuff from my memory stick and CD | 10:43 |
| sajuuk_ | does it write over? | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Gautam: i dont know of a single ftpd that uses a gui. | 10:43 |
| koshar2 | sajuuk_ because they were mounted :-) | 10:43 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: no, it was just copying it to your new disk | 10:43 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: just unmount or remove them | 10:43 |
| sajuuk_ | there we go | 10:44 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: maybe you would like to add --exclude /dev/ and --exclude /proc/ to that command also ;) | 10:44 |
| Gautam | then how to run it ? | 10:44 |
| oCean_ | Gautam: ActionParsnip gftp-gtk is gui based | 10:44 |
| oCean_ | Gautam: try gftp-gtk (command to install: sudo apt-get install gftp-gtk) | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !info gftp-gtk | 10:45 |
| ubottu | gftp-gtk (source: gftp): X/GTK+ FTP client. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.18-17ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 270 kB, installed size 740 kB | 10:45 |

| linux_freak | how can i format the unformatted partition in unbuntu | 10:45 |
| koshar2 | sarmisak iam beginning to see why i prefer the partimage methood, although rsync, tar and cp with preservation are flexable and fast if you want to downsize partition size before rather than after a move | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_freak: run sudo fdisk -l to identify the partition | 10:46 |
| koshar2 | linux_freak gparted | 10:46 |
| WyHiWyL | how to edit the title of a pdf file in ubuntu? | 10:46 |
| teseo | ciao all | 10:46 |
| linux_freak | but these partitions are NTFS | 10:47 |
| linux_freak | and i want to do an NTFS partition only | 10:47 |
| teseo | forse OT ma provo e confido nella vostra bontà.. | 10:47 |
| teseo | ops sorry | 10:47 |
| oCean_ | ActionParsnip: yes.. Since Gautam was asking for "core ftp" which is a windows ftp client (I think) | 10:47 |
| teseo | not right channel | 10:47 |
| druntar | Hello | 10:48 |
| vegombrei | ? | 10:48 |
| sarmisak | koshar2: yes, that's another path you can take, I have never had to move to another disk like this, I usually install on a new disk and reinstall all packages from scratch, and just move the /etc/, so everything works like a charm | 10:48 |
| sajuuk_ | hmm just gotta wait and see, thx koshar2 and sarmisak | 10:48 |
| sajuuk_ | you guys were the bomb in helping me | 10:48 |
| Gautam | oCean it is installed....thank you! | 10:48 |
| sajuuk_ | so was snuxoll | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | oCean_: we've been here before. s/he cant seem to work out if its a client or server that s/he wants | 10:48 |
| sarmisak | sajuuk_: no problem. | 10:48 |
| druntar | having an issue with flash video and firefox. Anyone in here willing to help with it or point me in the right direction? None of the guides on the forum have solved the issue. | 10:49 |
| linux_freak | ActionParsnip: its an external HDD and there is 2 unpartioned space there i want to format and make a partition of NTFS | 10:49 |
| oCean_ | Gautam: happy ftp'ing :) | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Gautam: did filezilla not work for you? | 10:49 |
| oCean_ | ActionParsnip: indeed | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_freak: im not sure linux can format ntfs, its a proprietary format | 10:49 |
| linux_freak | so i can only format from XP | 10:49 |
| druntar | linux can format ntfs if you have the ntfs-3g and gparted | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_freak: and 2000 and vista | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | druntar: can it, neat, i guess thats the answer | 10:50 |
| linux_freak | but when i had installed Ubuntu i had seen partition format types consisting of NTFS and the ubuntu type ext3 | 10:50 |
| druntar | Since Ubuntu uses gparted for partitioning it can format to ntfs. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_freak: oh it can see and read them, i just dont think it can format a blank partition to ntfs, druntar says it can though | 10:51 |
| BlueSteel | i've used gparted to make an ntfs partition | 10:51 |
| druntar | I did it yesterday. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | there we go, i have learned today | 10:51 |
| linux_freak | ActionParsnip: say thank you ;-) | 10:52 |
| druntar | And I've helped my first person since moving to Linux | 10:52 |
| kandinsk1 | hi guys: I have a lot of files in my trash:/// folder that I can't delete completely for permissions reasons. I know how to use chown and chmod, but not how to access the trash frm the commandline | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | not that i use ntfs but its another feather in my hat | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | cheers druntar | 10:52 |
| bazhang | !trash | 10:52 |
| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 10:52 |
| BlueSteel | it wasn't a bootable disk until I rebooted with a windows setup disk and ran bootcfg, fixmbr etc. in recovery console | 10:52 |
| WyHiWyL | linux_freak: run the command "$ sudo apt-get install gparted ntfsprogs" then you can format a partition/drive to ntfs using GParted. | 10:52 |
| kandinsk1 | bazhang: thanks | 10:53 |
| WyHiWyL | how can I change the title of a pdf file on ubuntu? | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | WyHiWyL: rename the file do you mean? | 10:53 |
| bazhang | !info pdfedit | 10:54 |
| ubottu | pdfedit (source: pdfedit): Editor for manipulating PDF documents. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.1-2 (intrepid), package size 2481 kB, installed size 7564 kB | 10:54 |
| sajuuk_ | ok i have deleted the stuff that shouldn't be syncing but its still syncing via the 0.trash or something, how do i get to it? | 10:54 |
| === acuster is now known as avc_afk | ||
| druntar | linux_freak I would go with WyHiWyL's suggestion. If you can boot from a livecd of Ubuntu, you can "sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs ntfs-3g" in the command line then go to system->administration->Partition Editor | 10:54 |
| linux_freak | druntar: can u guide me how i can get UBUNTU to format the partition by NTFS | 10:54 |
| WyHiWyL | ActionParsnip: no, the title on the title bar when i open it. i received a pdf with a title like "blahblah.doc" which was very annoying! | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | WyHiWyL: i guess pdfedit is the solution, didnt know it did that, i tend to just read the body | 10:55 |
| WyHiWyL | bazhang: installed pdfedit, but didn't know how to just change the title :( | 10:55 |
| linux_freak | But i dont have a live cd here | 10:55 |
| bazhang | WyHiWyL, with .doc it is not a pdf | 10:55 |
| druntar | ok, are you trying to partition the drive you're on now? | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_freak: you dont have to format it in livecd, just make sure the partition is unmounted and you can do it from your installed system | 10:56 |
| snooo | help :) my screen resolution settings are completly fucked in ubuntu 8.10. used boxee, it crashed and since then i havent been able to set the correct hz for my monitor. | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_freak: as long as you arent trying to format the partition you currently running linux is using you are fine | 10:56 |
| linux_freak | i am confused | 10:57 |
| linux_freak | its a USB HDD | 10:57 |
| bazhang | snooo, watch the language | 10:57 |
| linux_freak | its got 3 partitions | 10:57 |
| druntar | Ok linux_freak what are you trying to reformat? | 10:57 |
| snooo | sorry | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_freak: is the linux you are currntly running installed on the usb hdd? | 10:57 |
| linux_freak | since i deleted the first and thrid now there are 2 unpartitioned spaces created | 10:57 |
| Gautam | yes filezilla also installed...But now i have instructions to remove it... | 10:57 |
| linux_freak | no | 10:57 |
| snooo | dopes anyone know how to reconfigure screen resolutions? | 10:57 |
| WyHiWyL | bazhang: no, the ugly title comes from a doc file (someone made the pdf from the doc file). and now i want to delete it | 10:57 |
| druntar | ok so it's not the active harddrive | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_freak: then thats fine, you dont need the live cd, you can format it from your installed system | 10:58 |
| snooo | does | 10:58 |
| bazhang | WyHiWyL, just the title? let me try | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | snooo: what video card? | 10:58 |
| druntar | He's right. | 10:58 |
| druntar | ok linux_freak you have gparted already correct? | 10:58 |
| Gautam | can you also tell me how to remove filezilla ..which i installed | 10:58 |
| dexter78 | snooo : use recovery video resolution 640x480 in installation ;) | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Gautam: to remove it: sudo apt-get --purge remove filezilla | 10:58 |
| WyHiWyL | bazhang: yes, just the tilte, i want to delete it. so the title bar will show the file name | 10:59 |
| linux_freak | i dont know | 10:59 |
| linux_freak | can u guide me how i can find tht out | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Gautam: both those apps are ftp clients and will do pretty much the same job, if you prefer the other client then thats cool | 10:59 |
| snooo | ActionParsnip: nvidia | 10:59 |
| sajuuk_ | koshar2: im noticing from my syncing, that its syncing stuff that i have deleted and its coming from .trash, wot do i do about it? | 10:59 |
| druntar | linux_freak what are you using to look at the partitions now? | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | snooo: run: gksudo nvidia-settings | 11:00 |
| bazhang | WyHiWyL, does not right click (properties) allow you to do this? | 11:00 |
| linux_freak | nm just system monitor | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | snooo: you can set refresh rates and resolutions there provided you have installed a suitable driver | 11:00 |
| oguzm | After I change the resolution,and theb set to ex resolution, my tool bar color has change from white to grey. I mean all the screens(firefox,thunderbird).How can I change the color? | 11:00 |
| snooo | ActionParsnip: they don't stay on reboots tho | 11:00 |
| koshari | sajuuk_ just empty the trash when your up and running | 11:00 |
| linux_freak | which is not showing me the partitions | 11:00 |
| snooo | ActionParsnip: and my screen res dialouge in system was fine until the crash | 11:00 |
| druntar | linux_freak click on system ->Administraton | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | snooo: do you run nvidia-settings ith gksudo each time? | 11:01 |
| druntar | do you see partiition editor in the list? | 11:01 |
| snooo | ActionParsnip: ah, hang on | 11:01 |
| sajuuk_ | koshari but nothing is in the trash can that i can access from the gui | 11:01 |
| WyHiWyL | bazhang: no, it shows the title but doesn't allow to edit! | 11:01 |
| koshari | linux_freak admin > partition editor, from a live session otherwise you will need to install it to an installed session | 11:01 |
| bazhang | WyHiWyL, what are the permissions on the pdf | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | snooo: gksudo is for gui apps, sudo is for cli apps only | 11:01 |
| cableroy | Hi, suddenly my applets has moved away from the top bar and is on the bottom bar but not attached to it, the applets are on my desktop, some are, but not all. Why is that? Ubuntu/gnome | 11:02 |
| koshari | sajuuk_ its not a big issue, whatever was in the trash will get coppied over , it will just take a little longer | 11:02 |
| sajuuk_ | koshari: i just find it irritating, you know wot i mean? | 11:02 |
| linux_freak | ActionParsnip: dont have partition editor | 11:02 |
| linux_freak | from where should i get .. ? synaptic or ..? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_freak: sudo apt-get install gparted; gksudo gparted & | 11:03 |
| Gautam | yes its removed...thanks purple | 11:03 |
| WyHiWyL | bazhang: i have full permission, but Gnome does not have the function to edit the title of pdf files, as i know. maybe i need a tool | 11:03 |
| druntar | linux_freak open a terminal and type in "sudo apt-get install gparted ntfsprogs ntfs-3g" | 11:03 |
| bazhang | WyHiWyL, I think I may have misunderstood; you mean the title bar, or the title page (ie page one) | 11:04 |
| linux_freak | first is this sudo apt-get install gparte | 11:04 |
| linux_freak | d | 11:04 |
| Gautam | i removed filezilla coz here some people believe that filezilla can be hacked...due its xml file which is created...and can be passed | 11:04 |
| koshari | sajuuk_ yes, so next time delete empty trash before rsyncing | 11:04 |
| linux_freak | then gksudo gparted | 11:04 |
| linux_freak | right | 11:04 |
| Flannel | Gautam: can be passed? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_freak: i gave you the whole command, paste the line to terminal, it will install then run | 11:04 |
| druntar | just type it in exactly like the quotes | 11:04 |
| WyHiWyL | bazhang: i mean the text shown in the title bar (i.e. the title of the document) | 11:05 |
| druntar | linux_freak open a terminal and type in "sudo apt-get install gparted ntfsprogs ntfs-3g" | 11:05 |
| linux_freak | yes doing tht | 11:05 |
| bazhang | WyHiWyL, not sure there, it works here with right click properties --enter new name | 11:05 |
| linux_freak | the earlier cmd opened something | 11:05 |
| koshari | ActionParsnip nice advice , however smaller steps are often a little easier to take for les experianced | 11:05 |
| druntar | if you want you can just copy and paste | 11:05 |
| linux_freak | now should i redo the earlier cmd ie. open gparted | 11:06 |
| druntar | no | 11:06 |
| druntar | click on system->administration->partition editor | 11:07 |
| laeg | can i just remove pulse audio and everything will be rosy? | 11:07 |
| linux_freak | ok | 11:07 |
| linux_freak | so it will by default get it | 11:07 |
| Gautam | means xml file can be passed which stores username and password | 11:08 |
| linux_freak | no its not taking NTFS | 11:08 |
| laeg | why does ubuntu ship with pulse when it clearly doesn't work? | 11:08 |
| linux_freak | the NTFS column is hidden | 11:08 |
| koshari | linux_freak and MAKE DAMN SURE gparted is pointing to the CORRECT partition before changing anything, the pull down menu at the right MAY default tou your boot partition | 11:08 |
| WyHiWyL | bazhang: wait, you can edit the text in the "Document" tab after right click > Properties ? | 11:08 |
| Flannel | Gautam: You can just use it without storing your login information. | 11:08 |
| druntar | Did you type in the entire command including the ntfsprogs and ntfs-3g? | 11:09 |
| bazhang | WyHiWyL, yep; dont know why you cant | 11:09 |
| Flannel | Gautam: However, the hash salt issue with filezilla was resolved many years ago. | 11:09 |
| balrog__ | is there a way to reload the gnome-panels? | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | koshari: i always give the full command so it can be copied / pastd to terminal, just makes sense | 11:09 |
| bazhang | !resetpanels | 11:09 |
| ubottu | To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 11:09 |
| koshari | balrog__ yes | 11:09 |
| j_burg | hi, I have installed the latest 64bit version of ubuntu. Since now everything worked, but today the network devices weren't recognized anymore. Has anyone had similar experiences? | 11:09 |

| piksi | howdy, after installing ubuntu i am faced with just an empty screen and blinking cursor, as if grub isn't even loading | 11:52 |
| piksi | i've dd'd the first sectors on all hdd's and rewritten grub but still no go | 11:52 |
| hazem | http://paste.ubuntu.com/105524/ | 11:52 |
| hazem | andy this the link of the lines | 11:52 |
| hateball | piksi: some BIOS options prevent ubuntu from booting... native/legacy sata etc | 11:53 |
| AKIT | i am COOL | 11:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | hazem: that device should work fine under 8.04, check your volume settings and your speakers | 11:54 |
| piksi | hateball: well the thing i'm wondering is that ubuntu is asking "some sata drives have raid configs, activate them?" (and i know that the mobo has fake sata and it's turned off... | 11:54 |
| === gizmo is now known as clarks | ||
| hazem | every thing is turned on and not muted | 11:56 |
| hazem | what can i do | 11:56 |
| hazem | ? | 11:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | hazem: did sound work on the live CD? | 11:56 |
| hazem | i don,t remember | 11:57 |
| hazem | but i think the problem in the alsa mixer | 11:57 |
| Slart | dio444: ok.. it worked when run from the command line.. now I'm testing crontab | 11:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | hazem: what makes you think that? | 11:57 |
| Prathibha | Is it possible to send SMS using pidgin | 11:58 |
| hazem | cause u said that the hardware card run good | 11:58 |
| === gnu is now known as Guest24692 | ||
| Slart | dio444: hmm.. worked form crontab too, create the same file as when run from the command line.. same size etc | 11:58 |
| hazem | what is happened | 11:58 |
| hazem | ? | 11:59 |
| dio444 | slart: hmmmm | 11:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | hazem: well, i know that device had a lot of problem w/ versions prior to 8.04, are you sure you installed 8.04 | 11:59 |
| hazem | yes | 11:59 |
| hazem | is there any way to know the version of ubuntu | 12:00 |
| hazem | ? | 12:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | hazem: i dunno.. doesn't make much sense, you have the exact sound device i have on two laptops, and i don't recall a problem w/ hardy on either of them | 12:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | hazem: in a terminal lsb_release -a | 12:00 |
| Slart | dio444: it's not something else in the /root/documents folder? strange files that don't work when you're root or similar | 12:00 |
| Prathibha | Is it possible to send SMS using pidgin | 12:00 |
| dio444 | slart: there are about 500 files in my "documents" directory. Any chance that the "large" number of files might have something to do with it? | 12:00 |
| druntar | I think this guy is screwing with me. | 12:01 |
| Myrtti | Prathibha: pidgin itself can't do it | 12:01 |
| Slart | dio444: I doubt it.. but I can check that too.. hang on.. let me create some random files | 12:01 |
| EliteHunter | Please help.. when i started the installtion on windows then ubuntu installation just started downloading about 698 mb of data from the net. how could i stop this. | 12:01 |
| Myrtti | EliteHunter: you don't want to install ubuntu? | 12:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 12:02 |
| === clarks is now known as gizmo | ||
| EliteHunter | i want to install | 12:02 |
| earthian | Hello, I have this problem. A lot of page do not submit data anymroe (POST method) and what is even more weird is that there are no more LOGS available (/var/log/syslog is empty!) the last what is logged is usually http://pastebin.com/m184e739f | 12:02 |
| earthian | What is happening?! | 12:02 |
| oCean_ | dio444: when tar fails, there should be some (error)output as to what went wrong. Did you capture any output? | 12:02 |
| dio444 | slart: as to strangeness, they are all just .doc, .xls, and pdf files. I've not noticed any of them acting funny | 12:02 |
| oCean_ | dio444: when command is run from cron, I mean | 12:02 |
| Myrtti | EliteHunter: if you do it from windows like that, it downloads the cd. | 12:02 |
| EliteHunter | all things are happening good but before the installtion it just showing downloading installtion file from the net | 12:02 |
| Slart | dio444: try running your script as root using sudo... see if that fails too | 12:02 |
| EliteHunter | Myrtti: so what i do | 12:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | EliteHunter: well, its gotta download hte ISO i do believe. | 12:03 |
| EliteHunter | I have cd | 12:03 |
| tweak | anyone have experience patching kernels? | 12:03 |
| EliteHunter | of ubuntu | 12:03 |
| dio444 | oCean_ no, I haven't . I'll capture that output now. | 12:03 |
| hazem | indy | 12:03 |
| hazem | http://paste.ubuntu.com/105528/ | 12:03 |
| Slart | dio444: oh.. never mind.. I see that's what you're doing | 12:03 |
| Prathibha | Myrtti, Is it possible to sent messages to group in pidgin | 12:03 |
| dio444 | slart: line 25 of my origional post | 12:03 |
| Lenin-chan | how can i make initrd file in intrepid? | 12:03 |
| EliteHunter | Myrtti: should i boot frm the cd | 12:03 |
| Myrtti | EliteHunter: that's one option, yes | 12:04 |
| EliteHunter | or run cd directly in windows | 12:04 |
| Myrtti | EliteHunter: that's also an option | 12:04 |
| druntar | Well I just pissed someone off | 12:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | hazem: i really can't explain it, like i said, i have that device on two laptops, and i don't recall any problems w/ it under 8.04.. maybe try installing the current verison of ubuntu. | 12:04 |
| druntar | Tried to help him move a partition and like an idiot he pressed cancel mid process and lost his data. | 12:04 |
| druntar | Now he's mad at me. | 12:04 |
| hazem | thanks am sorry for wasting ur time | 12:05 |
| EliteHunter | Myrtti: i had choose the d second option but it showing downloading about whole ISO once again. | 12:05 |
| hazem | i will try ubuntu 8.10 | 12:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | druntar: well, hopefully before doing any sort of partition work, you told him of the absolute importance to backup his data | 12:05 |
| druntar | I did. | 12:05 |
| hazem | thanks indy and goodbye | 12:05 |
| tweak | anyone have experience patching kernels? | 12:05 |
| druntar | He said he had a backup but who knows. | 12:05 |
| stevem | druntar, gparted was this? | 12:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | druntar: well, then you're absolved... if he has a problem w/ it, tell him to do it himself next time | 12:05 |
| druntar | Yeah | 12:06 |
| carrera | Is it best to modify my PATH var in .bashrc or .profile? | 12:06 |
| Myrtti | Prathibha: depends on the protocol you're using | 12:06 |
| Slart | druntar: depending on how far in the repartioning process he got he might use testdisk to retrieve some info | 12:06 |
| quibbler | hazem, do you get sound when you test it. | 12:06 |
| druntar | I've moved and resized drives a hundred times with gparted no problems | 12:06 |
| harivittal | exit | 12:06 |
| druntar | He quit and left chat. No way for me to help him now. | 12:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 12:06 |
| Myrtti | druntar: let this also be a lesson for you, always keep the support you're giving on the channel, no matter how busy it seems | 12:07 |
| Prathibha | Myrtti, I am yahoo, gmail. For this Is it possible to use group messaging. If so how? | 12:07 |
| druntar | Makes me feel bad though, because this was the first time I actually KNEW the answer to someones issue. | 12:07 |
| earthian | where could my logs go to? http://pastebin.com/m184e739f <-- tail /var/log/syslog | 12:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | Myrtti: i've helped people privately a lot, the key, is that they understand what they're doing, you understand what you're doing, and absolutely stress to them they must have a backup | 12:07 |
| druntar | Ahh, well life goes on. | 12:07 |
| NickeZ | Anyone want to help me with adding dmraid to initialize | 12:07 |
| EliteHunter | Myrtti: http://clip2net.com/clip/m12364/1232107651-clip-18kb.png | 12:07 |
| Slart | druntar: you can't prepare for everything.. especially when there's users involved | 12:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | druntar: yeah, if he says anything to you, just tell him your PC works fine | 12:07 |
| dio444 | slart, oCean_: just adding >> cron.log to the end of the crontab makes it work. Maybe the problem is about it stopping because there was no place for the output to go? | 12:08 |
| druntar | Now to see if I can get help with the issue I came in here for. LOL | 12:08 |
| Myrtti | EliteHunter: I'm sorry but I don't know the details. It should work with either rebooting from the cd or by running wubi from it. | 12:08 |
| Slart | dio444: hmm.. I doubt it.. | 12:08 |
| druntar | So anyone know how I might fix flash video in firefox in ubuntu 8.10 64bit? | 12:08 |
| EliteHunter | Myrtti: ok thanks | 12:08 |
| druntar | I've tried the fixes in the forums to no avail | 12:08 |
| druntar | I've reinstalled both | 12:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | druntar: did you try installing 64bit flash from adobe.com? | 12:09 |
| EliteHunter | !seen bot | 12:09 |
| oCean_ | dio444: saw that before, however cron output should (if not redirected) be send to the owner of the crontab (to their mailbox) | 12:09 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 12:09 |
| Slart | druntar: first tell us what is wrong with it... it actually works for most people, I think | 12:09 |
| Lenin-chan | How can i mkinitrd in intrepid? | 12:09 |
| druntar | didn't know they'd released it | 12:09 |
| druntar | lol | 12:09 |
| druntar | Well the videos play for about 10-20 seconds then stop | 12:09 |

| dio444 | oCean_ except that this box has no mail support.... | 12:10 |
| sailingcai | o, thank you, that's very helpful for me | 12:10 |
| oCean_ | dio444: maybe that has something to do with it. Not sure. | 12:11 |
| Slart | dio444: come to think of it.. perhaps it just halts since it wants to mail the output and can't.. but that seems kind of.. bad as a default behavious | 12:11 |
| druntar | I just went to adobe.com and tried to download from there but it popped up saying there wasn't room on the drive to download. | 12:11 |
| druntar | I have 3.9 gigs free in the linux part and 160 in /home | 12:12 |
| druntar | wtf? | 12:12 |
| dio444 | slart, oCean_ well, I don't really care too much, and now I'm just sending it to /dev/null and it seem to work like I need. So thanks for your help. | 12:12 |
| Slart | you couldn't download the zip file? (and please don't use expressions as wtf) | 12:12 |
| Slart | dio444: you're welcome.. glad it worked out for you (even if we don't know why =) | 12:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | druntar: lol, thats impressive | 12:13 |
| mankash | what is the use of /dev/null ? | 12:13 |
| carrera | Is it best to modify my PATH var in .bashrc or .profile? | 12:13 |
| Slart | mankash: somewhere to send stuff you dont want | 12:13 |
| Slart | mankash: it's just discared afaik | 12:13 |
| oCean_ | dio444: Slart: it bugs me (a little) so, I'm checking this out. It's raining anyway ;) | 12:13 |
| druntar | Correct I can't download it. and I appologize for the wtf | 12:14 |

| ubottu | xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 12:14 |
| Slart | druntar: you're downloading the 64 bit beta from adobe labs? | 12:14 |
| VSpike | mankash: e.g. find / -iname '*foo*' will give a lot of errors you dont care about when it tries to search /tmp, /proc and other locations... so you do find / -iname '*foo*' 2>/dev/null | 12:14 |
| Slart | druntar: from this page http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html | 12:15 |
| mankash | thx Vspike | 12:15 |
| tenang | so what's a good iso emulator for ubuntu or does it not use iso? | 12:15 |
| Slart | tenang: no need to emulate iso.. type !mountiso in the channel for more info | 12:15 |
| druntar | There is not enough room on the disk to save /tmp/dE5WUbv7.part. | 12:15 |
| druntar | Remove unnecessary files from the disk and try again, or try saving in a different location. | 12:15 |
| tenang | !mountiso | 12:16 |
| druntar | That's the error I get from the adobelabs site | 12:16 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify downloaded ISO images using !MD5 before !burning. | 12:16 |

| VSpike | OK, I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config and said "yes" to bitmap fonts. It has created the appropriate symlink in /etc/fonts/conf.d. I've run fc-cache and defoma and sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig and *still* no bitmap font choices appear. What am I doing wrong? | 12:17 |
| druntar | http://pastebin.com/m4122b861 | 12:17 |

| |neon| | is there a how to to setup a laptop connected to an ext lcd to use both screens as "separate x screens" not twin view | 12:18 |
| Acoustic- | . | 12:18 |
| sipior | carrera: it doesn't really matter, as long as the appropriate file is invoked consistently for you. .profile is only sourced when bash acts as a login shell. some folks just source it directly from .bashrc; whatever works best for your setup. | 12:18 |
| marek_ | hi, i added a user with userad, i created a password, but i cannot connect from other host via ssh... what can i do? | 12:18 |
| hateball | druntar: your /tmp is 1mb | 12:18 |
| mankash | Vspike: how to use grep so that it doesn't get stuck in the loop? | 12:18 |
| sipior | marek_: do you have openssh-server installed? | 12:18 |
| VSpike | mankash: how do you mean stuck in the loop? | 12:18 |
| druntar | Well, I have no idea how it got that way. | 12:18 |
| druntar | Or how to fix it lol. | 12:19 |
| marek_ | sipior yup | 12:19 |
| mankash | I think when it has links in it | 12:19 |
| marek_ | i can connect to other users | 12:19 |
| sipior | marek_: and is sshd running? | 12:19 |
| Slart | druntar: can you pastebin your /etc/fstab too? | 12:19 |
| marek_ | sipior yup | 12:19 |
| sipior | marek_: also, you can invoke ssh with the -v switch to get a bit more feedback about the problem. | 12:19 |

| tenang | uninstall | 12:20 |
| mankash | ye | 12:20 |
| Slart | druntar: having a small /tmp will bite you in the behind sooner or later.. but if you don't want to deal with that right now you can always use wget to download the file.. wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d21.1.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz will get it for you | 12:20 |
| tenang | so lay it on me how do you do it? lol | 12:21 |
| druntar | I'll fix it now if someone will tell me how. | 12:21 |
| Slart | druntar: do you have a /tmp folder on your root drive? | 12:21 |

Rather when I ask it to move files to trash they just disappear ... but the space that they took up still remains yet I look in trash and NOTHING is there... so I was wandering wtf I should do or if this is a known bug ? | 12:21 |
| druntar | yes | 12:21 |
| VSpike | makkbe: I'm not sure that grep has a suitable option.. maybe do "find -print 0 | xargs -0 grep stuff" | 12:21 |
| VSpike | mankash: sorry ^ | 12:21 |
| VSpike | mankash: find by default does not follow symlinks | 12:22 |
| Slart | Ximal: it probably ends up in the root users trash | 12:22 |
| Ximal | where might I find that slart ? | 12:22 |
| sipior | marek_: looks like you're typing in the wrong password. | 12:22 |
| Slart | Ximal: take a look in /root/.local or something like that | 12:22 |
| Ximal | cause I have 130 gigs sitting idle somewhere | 12:22 |

| Slart | Ximal: so /root/local/share/Trash | 12:22 |
| druntar | yes I have a tmp folder in my / directory | 12:23 |
| Ximal | Slart: is there a command to EMPTY all trash bins on the system ? | 12:23 |

| dr_willis | Ximal, none that i have ever seen | 12:23 |
| Slart | Ximal: not that I know of.. there is a command line trash application you could use with sudo though | 12:23 |
| druntar | I wonder if that could be the cause of videos only playing 10-20 seconds. | 12:23 |

| Slart | druntar: sudo /etc/init.d/mountoverflowtmp stop | 12:35 |
| judgen | ActionParsnip so from the active partition i sue DD an put it on the larger disk without issues? | 12:35 |
| judgen | ActionParsnip doent DD require the partitions to be the same size | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | judgen: from live cd, yes you should be fine. You will need to reinstall grub manually thi=ough | 12:36 |
| Slart | druntar: of course, you need to make sure there is enough space on /tmp or things might start failing | 12:36 |
| druntar | http://pastebin.com/m19432e7f | 12:36 |
| judgen | ActionParsnip i cant use a livecd. | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | judgen: no, it just copies the bits until it runs out | 12:36 |
| druntar | that's the new df -h | 12:36 |
| sajuuk_ | hey guys i did a rsync of my other hdd to my second hdd and its not booting up... what could I have done wrong? | 12:36 |
| Slart | druntar: also I would run "sudo apt-get clean" to clear up some more space | 12:36 |
| Slart | druntar: so now it's working =) | 12:37 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: have you reinstalled grub so that it looks in the new location? | 12:37 |
| Ximal | Slart: hey m8... I can't find the dern command for trash-cli ... I mean rather ... trash-cli brings up the no command found response ... | 12:37 |
| druntar | haven't tried yet | 12:37 |
| druntar | going to try getting adobe 10 | 12:37 |
| druntar | first | 12:37 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: how do i do that? | 12:37 |
| judgen | ActionParsnip Is there some way i can do it from within the booter partition? | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | judgen: download a minimal cd, its like 10mb and will give you a command line | 12:37 |
| judgen | ActionParsnip i cant use a CD | 12:37 |
| Slart | Ximal: there are lots of commands.. "trash-cli" is just a package, not a command.. try empty-trash | 12:37 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 12:38 |
| druntar | well it let me download the archive | 12:38 |
| druntar | now where do I put libflashplayer.so? | 12:38 |
| judgen | ActionParsnip this computer does not havea floppy or CD. | 12:38 |
| Slart | Ximal: there's also list-trash, restore-trash, trash | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | judgen: use usb then | 12:38 |
| Ximal | well is there a manual command for me to read up on it ? | 12:38 |
| Slart | druntar: I put mine in ~/mozilla/plugins/ | 12:39 |
| judgen | ActionParsnip not the answer i was hoping for... so i have to buy more hardware... isnt there a way to do a direct copy... | 12:39 |
| druntar | That's crazy | 12:39 |
| Slart | Ximal: man trash or man empty-trash | 12:39 |
| druntar | I've rebooted like 5 times since this started to no avail | 12:39 |
| druntar | Just out of curiosity I tried a video before installing the new adobe | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | judgen: i wouldnt dd a mounted partition as the data may change during the copy so its not so safe | 12:39 |
| druntar | and it's working fine | 12:39 |
| Slart | druntar: and now it works, right? | 12:40 |
| Slart | druntar: its' the tmp thingy | 12:40 |
| judgen | ActionParsnip i cant just copy the folders to the other Ext3 partition? | 12:40 |
| Slart | druntar: there are some threads about it in the forums.. it affects all kinds of stuff | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | judgen: you can always install the same apps and copy over xorg.conf and smb.conf and your ~/ folder I guess | 12:40 |
| druntar | I don't understand why it didn't fix it the first 5 times I rebooted though. | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | judgen: try it, see if it flys | 12:40 |
| garrettheel | after installing php and mysql, does anyone know why i'd get a fatal error when calling the mysql_connect() function? this would assume that php isn't working with mysql | 12:40 |
| tuna | I'm having weird trouble with brasero. When I'm trying to burn a dvd from an iso, I get speeds of about 1x (1000kb/sec), or in other words, it takes an hour to burn a disk. This is despite selecting faster speeds. What's even weirder, when I burn my load-averages are at about 3, and the system is really slow, despite top saying my cpu is 90% idle. Before I upgraded to8.10, I could easily burn dvd's at 16x or so. | 12:40 |
| judgen | ActionParsnip i want the whole OS... the drive im migrating for is too small. | 12:41 |
| bashca | please need help setting firestarter to share connections btw ubuntu and windows ??? | 12:41 |
| Slart | !ics | bashca | 12:41 |
| ubottu | bashca: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 12:41 |
| bashca | i did all that but firestarter dosn't open | 12:41 |
| druntar | Slart Any clue why it didn't work the first 5 times I rebooted? | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | judgen: then ty cp the data over then | 12:42 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: is it better to modify grub in live session with the hard drive im going to use in? | 12:42 |
| Slart | druntar: no idea.. for some reason it thought you didn't have enough space on your regular /tmp drive | 12:42 |
| archman_ | wget rules! any way to make wget to get links from txt file? | 12:42 |
| Slart | archman_: you've read the man pages, right? | 12:42 |
| bashca | Slart, External network device eth0 is not ready. Aborting. i got this | 12:42 |
| druntar | Hey slart I don't have a ~/.mozilla/plugins folder | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | archman_: you could use grep with exec | 12:43 |
| sides | Someone have an idea how can i restore file that been deleted with shift+del ? | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | archman_: possibly | 12:43 |
| archman_ | Slart: sorry, will look now... | 12:43 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: this is an external hard drive? | 12:43 |
| VSpike | OK, I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config and said "yes" to bitmap fonts. It has created the appropriate symlink in /etc/fonts/conf.d. I've run fc-cache and defoma and sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig and *still* no bitmap font choices appear. What am I doing wrong? | 12:43 |
| Slart | druntar: hmm.. you do have a .mozilla folder? | 12:43 |
| druntar | I have a .mozilla | 12:43 |
| quibbler | druntar, try ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins | 12:43 |
| judgen | Wich folders are automatically created during bootup? | 12:43 |
| druntar | has two folders named firefox and extensions | 12:43 |
| sajuuk_ | no its a hdd with which i have migrated to so i have freed up the latter drive so i can use it to store data on my windows machine | 12:43 |
| Slart | druntar: try creating a plugins folder.. see if it works | 12:43 |
| druntar | no plugins folder in firefox either quibbler | 12:43 |
| Slart | druntar: or try whatever quibbler said | 12:44 |
| druntar | Should I even worry about it since its working the way it is? | 12:44 |
| sajuuk_ | that and its an internal, just to finally answer ur question | 12:44 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: so, what did you mean by: "with the hard drive im going to use in?" | 12:44 |
| |neon| | can i share the wire internet connection via wireless by creating an ad hoc connection to be able to use my ipod wirelessly? | 12:44 |
| Slart | druntar: if you're happy then there's no reason to mess with it | 12:44 |
| bashca | Slart, External network device eth0 is not ready. Aborting. i got this ???? | 12:44 |
| quibbler | druntar, if it works don't fix it! | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | archman_: oh you are in luck: its a standard option: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-wget-your-ultimate-command-line-downloader.html | 12:44 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: the one im booting from | 12:45 |
| Slart | bashca: I have no idea, I've never used firestarter | 12:45 |
| druntar | That's what I'm thinking. Thanks guys, we may never know what happened but at least it's working. | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | archman_: wget -i /path/to/files.txt | 12:45 |
| quibbler | druntar, maybe you have to increase your / partition | 12:45 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: you should be able to install grub from the live cd, or from the running system, whichever you feel more comfortable with. | 12:45 |
| bashca | any 1 using firestarter ?? | 12:45 |
| archman_ | ActionParsnip: yes, i read it now in man, thanks! ;) | 12:46 |
| druntar | I have 3.9 gigs free on the root partition. | 12:46 |
| garrettheel | why would none of the mysql functions exist with php? i keep getting a fatal error | 12:46 |
| Slart | ActionParsnip: give a man a fish... teach him to fish... bla bla ;) | 12:46 |
| druntar | and 160 on my /home partition. | 12:46 |
| sajuuk_ | i prefer the live, cos im in it right now | 12:46 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: which part of the guide do i follow for that bit? | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: teach a man to fish and he'll sit fishing every day instead of doing his job / going to the pub | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: ;) | 12:47 |
| |neon| | can i share the wire internet connection via wireless by creating an ad hoc connection to be able to use my ipod wirelessly? | 12:47 |

| sipior | sajuuk_: i would imagine "Backup, Repairing and Reinstalling GRUB". Be sure to read that document carefully, so that you don't make your system unbootable. in particular, be sure you have the correct value for "root" and "setup" | 12:49 |
| Slart | trance: you mean chmod? to make something executable? | 12:49 |
| quibbler | Slart, I caught one <--------------------------------------> this big | 12:49 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: I am getting an error 15 in the grub when i do find /boot/grub/stage1 | 12:49 |
| archman_ | Slart: for could i not know how to fish, i'm here on gutsy for over a year and a half, and for me to get it all running, required a lot of fishing...hehe; cheers! | 12:49 |
| archman_ | how* | 12:49 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: did you invoke grub via sudo? | 12:50 |
| trance | no i want to hide the first part of my ip | 12:50 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: yep | 12:50 |
| Slart | archman_: indeed.. there is a lot of fishing the first year =) | 12:50 |
| trance | mode +x | 12:50 |
| archman_ | Slart: i somehow 'hate' man, it's ugly and sometimes 'unreadable'...depends on docs thou... | 12:50 |
| Slart | trance: huh.. never heard of this.. | 12:50 |
| quibbler | archman_, and fish is so healthy too | 12:51 |
| Slart | archman_: some man pages are really horrible.. indeed | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | archman_: if you put "man wget" in nautilus you should get something nicer | 12:51 |
| archman_ | Slart thats why i google! | 12:51 |
| Slart | ActionParsnip: oh.. it works in nautilus?? why doesn't people tell me these things.. where is my fish?!? | 12:52 |
| trance | ok thx some1 else to help me with the +x mode command in irc? | 12:52 |
| archman_ | ActionParsnip: ugh, i need to get that address bar shown already... | 12:52 |
| trance | it says unknown MODE flag | 12:52 |
| Slart | trance: ahhhh.. in irc.. | 12:53 |
| trance | yep | 12:53 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: no wonder, nothings on it :S | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: i dunno if it does but it seems like a multifunction thing so i imagined it would | 12:53 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: do you get a "Checking if ... exists" error? | 12:53 |
| cute | kkkk | 12:53 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: well, that would do it. | 12:53 |
| sajuuk_ | but but but btu i spent half an hour syncing to it | 12:53 |
| sajuuk_ | :( | 12:53 |
| trance | Slart will u help me man? | 12:53 |
| Slart | trance: I think that might be dependant on the irc-server.. if it doesn't work here perhaps freenode doesn't use it | 12:54 |
| trance | ok man got it thx :> | 12:54 |
| archman_ | ActionParsnip: ctrl+L did the job... | 12:55 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: can you run through rsync for me? | 12:55 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: "man rsync" :-) | 12:55 |
| trance | only if its supported | 12:55 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: wots that do? | 12:57 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: it shows you the manual for the rsync program. it's pretty straightforward, with plenty of examples that probably cover what you want to do. | 12:57 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: ok cool :) | 12:58 |

| djmrsmith | hi all... not really a newbie to linux but this one has got me stuck | 13:08 |
| koa | hello. I have an account on an ubuntu machine on which I am not root. I would like to install a package (emacs-snapshot). is it doable ? | 13:08 |
| djmrsmith | Xubuntu.... Thunar > "Open With" always defaults to "Always Use this..." my question is... How do i edit the code to NOT Always open with? | 13:09 |
| djmrsmith | koa, you could try, worst case it will say NO | 13:09 |
| quibbler | koa, if you know the root password | 13:10 |
| djmrsmith | yeah or that :-) | 13:10 |
| koa | quibbler, I don't. so there's no way to just install it for me ? | 13:10 |
| |O|Sad | how can I raise volume in Gnome from the terminal??? With some sort of visual display | 13:10 |
| alkjflsakjf | |O|Sad, run alsamixer | 13:11 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: ok im still kinda lost you have rsync -options /(first drive) /(destination drive) | 13:11 |
| |O|Sad | it won't display anything...I want something that would raise the volume like a multimedia keyboard does | 13:11 |
| sipior | koa: you can always grab the source code and build it, or ask the administrator to give you sudo access for apt-get (which he almost certainly won't give you :-). there might also be a way to convince dpkg to install the package in your home directory. might be worth googling for that possibility. | 13:12 |
| djmrsmith | anyone on this: Thunar > "Open With" always defaults to "Always Use this..." my question is... How do i edit the code to NOT Always open with? | 13:12 |
| quibbler | koa, i don't think so | 13:13 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: you probably want something like "sudo rsync -avz /foo /bar" | 13:13 |

| sajuuk_ | sipior: its as if its creating the same thing over and over | 13:17 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: well, what is the precise command that you executed? | 13:17 |
| Nero____ | hi | 13:17 |
| Nero____ | i have some problems with the network manager | 13:18 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior sudo rsync -avz / /media/newhome | 13:18 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: plus im not hearing either hard drive writing while its doing this | 13:19 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: and /media is mounted under root, so...you see the problem? | 13:19 |
| djmrsmith | Must be some linux gurus in here.... | 13:20 |
| djmrsmith | Thunar > "Open With" always defaults to "Always Use this..." my question is... How do i edit the code to NOT Always open with? | 13:20 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: not precisely... btw the destination hdd is writing | 13:20 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: am i meant to not run the command under root? | 13:20 |
| oCean_ | djmrsmith: maybe in #thunar | 13:20 |
| soreau | djmrsmith: maybe in ##linux | 13:21 |
| Slart | djmrsmith: if you can wait a bit for the answer I'm willing to take a look | 13:21 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: btw, if the goal is to copy your entire partition, best to do that by booting from the live CD. you could mount the two partitions under completely unrelated mount points, avoiding the problem here. | 13:21 |
| embrik | do you know about a howto for installaing ubuntu on a computer with xp? Done this a lot of times, suddenly I can't format the ubuntu partition. I use ubuntu 8.04 | 13:21 |
| djmrsmith | i am in #thunar....... all sleeping | 13:21 |
| djmrsmith | not tried linux, will add in there also | 13:21 |
| djmrsmith | i ahve time :-) | 13:21 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior and with the live cd do what? | 13:21 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: run rsync, as before | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | embrik: do you mean wubi or resizing the partition to do a dual boot? | 13:21 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: mount the partitions as /mnt/old and /mnt/new, and copy away. | 13:22 |

| lfaraone | Hi, I'm able to connect to the wifi at home, but my school uses a ASCII wep password (with multiple access points, not sure if it's WDS) and I cannot authenticate on ubuntu, although I can on my iPod and Windows computer. | 13:23 |
| Jaffarkelshac | what other apps are there to record the destop apart from recordmydesktop | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | embrik: then you need gparted in the live cd | 13:23 |
| whileimhere | If I wanted to start learning python what is a good IDE? | 13:23 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: the problem i alluded to earlier: what happens when rsync reaches the /media directory? where does it put that stuff? the answer is: /media/new/media/... rsync can get itself into a loop. | 13:23 |
| lfaraone | whileimhere: try asking in #python, but I reccomend Eric3. | 13:23 |
| embrik | ActionParsnip, OK and make a new partition manually. Is that safe? | 13:23 |
| whileimhere | thanks that is what I was thinking | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | embrik: no, you use it to resize the windows partition to make space | 13:24 |
| Slart | whileimhere: I like SPE.. Stans Python Editor or somethnig | 13:24 |
| lfaraone | Jaffarkelshac: try googling it. :) | 13:24 |

| kusanagi_ | Ive got 2 Xorg running --> http://rafb.net/p/2MIpmw42.html (PIDs=5389 & 5551) I restart the computer and they are still there, Anybody knows why? | 13:24 |
| iJoh | should I go for x64 if I have the possibility? Will it be faster? Does it have same/worse compatibility with drivers and hardware? | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | embrik: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 13:25 |
| Mpole | i have a recurring problem mounting an external USB hard disk. it mounts fine on the Mac, but on Ubuntu it's got issues. any help? | 13:25 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: can't you just make it 'stop' at /media/new? | 13:25 |
| lfaraone | iJoh: Works well for me. Sometimes if your driver is proprietary there won't be a 64bit option, but NVIDIA, intel, and ATI all work with 64x | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | embrik: you may wish to backup important data, the community docs are pretty decent but the whole process comes with no guaruntees | 13:25 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i will give it a try, lfaraone | 13:25 |
| embrik | ActionParsnip, I know, already done that | 13:25 |
| Omar87 | Guys, what does the following command do? (grep p*) | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | embrik: good lad, millions dont then cry when their data is missing | 13:26 |
| Mpole | it's recently been formatted for MS-DOS filesystem, it normally mounts on MacOS X, Linux and Windows. | 13:26 |
| bstahl | Has anyone been able to figure out how to fix the Bugs with the ATI Drivers within Ubuntu? | 13:26 |
| sipior | sajuuk_: well, rsync is just doing what you told it to do. that's why it's better to do this from the live cd, and mount the two partitions at separate mount points (i.e. neither filesystem is mounted below the other) | 13:26 |
| kamil | Is there any polish man?? | 13:26 |
| Mpole | ActionParsnip: i think u DID help me with this problem, a while back, but i've never had it again, until now. | 13:27 |
| sajuuk_ | sipior: fair enough | 13:27 |
| embrik | Omar87, You can pipe output to grep and grep pick everythin starting with a p? | 13:27 |
| Mpole | ActionParsnip: what is the command that will show me the mounted and unmounted devices? | 13:27 |
| iJoh | lfaraone, so if my laptop is pretty new and powerful intel/nvidia it should work flawlessly? | 13:27 |

| Mpole | ActionParsnip: i need to first determine what devices are mounted and unmounted... right? | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | embrik: if you have unpartitioned space, ubuntu can use it and you dont have to do anything. If its all partitioned you must make space if you want to dual boot | 13:29 |
| lfaraone | Mpole: `mount` tells you what's mounted. | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Mpole: sudo fdisk -l will show you the partitions you can mount | 13:30 |
| sajuuk_ | lfaraone: like 4-6 minutes, i pressed start live session with safe graphics drivers or something along those lines and now my screen is black, not receiving signal | 13:30 |

| ziroday | george_clooney: well thats the setting. You sure that its actually disabled? | 14:21 |
| fosco_ | george_clooney: ccsm - wobly windows - dissable snap inverted checkbox | 14:21 |
| ziroday | chilli0: you could convert them to a different format or a lower bitrate | 14:21 |
| Pici | chilli0: Smaller files generally means lower quality, you are aware of that, right? | 14:22 |
| chilli0 | ziroday: i wanna do that , but is there a program that will do it in bulk? i have over 500 songs here | 14:22 |
| chilli0 | and yes Pici | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | chilli0: find and exec ;) | 14:22 |
| george_clooney | fosco_, thx, much better now | 14:22 |
| chilli0 | ActionParsnip: pardon? | 14:23 |
| ziroday | chilli0: err you could look into soundconverter/soundkonverter. Can't remember if it does exactly what you want | 14:23 |
| chilli0 | k | 14:23 |
| dakira | Is there a possibility to set sound-output to mono in Gnome? | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | chilli0: find -name '*.mp3' -exec (do conversion on file found which will be named {} ) | 14:23 |
| chilli0 | i have over 500 songs | 14:24 |
| techlife | what i ended up doing is changing da word feisty to gutsy in da sources.list file and an update appears to be working..thnx | 14:24 |

| ActionParsnip | lenin: sudo apt-get remove firefox-2.0 | 14:27 |
| Mpole | Runpain2: how old? | 14:27 |
| knut | is there a way to run apple applications on ubuntu? like itunes? | 14:27 |
| lenin | thanks ActionParsnip im trying | 14:27 |
| ziroday | knut: an old version of windows itunes can be run with wine, why do you want to run it? | 14:28 |
| Runpain2 | about 6years Mpole | 14:28 |
| scunizi | !itunes | knut | 14:28 |
| ubottu | knut: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 14:28 |
| Mpole | knut: well, there is a pretty good iTunes alternative... sudo apt-get install songbird will work | 14:28 |
| Feyzir | The sound on my ubuntu 8.10 64bit has stopped working. It was fine for a few installs and then no more sound | 14:28 |
| Runpain2 | it runs great though a little slow | 14:28 |
| knut | ziroday, because rhythmbox has no coverflow | 14:28 |
| Feyzir | it is a realtek HD audio thing | 14:28 |
| Feyzir | works fine in vista | 14:28 |
| paritosh1010 | ActionParsnip: hey man...im still stuck on that grub error 17. it keeps saying cannot mount selected partition when i say setup (hd0) | 14:28 |

| knut | i want coverflow for nautilus | 14:28 |
| knut | :) | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | lenin: you'll probably find that 3 upgrade 2, you could always uninstall both then just install 3 if its a no go | 14:28 |
| ziroday | knut: ah, I think the only linux app with coverflow is songbird. | 14:28 |

| Mpole | sonbird virtually emulates iTunes... it's the best player ever! | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | lenin: dpkg -l | grep firefox will help | 14:30 |

| Feyzir | any ideas on how to get my sound back :/ | 14:30 |
| lenin | ActionParsnip : that would uninstall all instance of firefox I'll lose data of the latest version | 14:30 |

| ziroday | imyousuf: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers doesn't showing anything? | 14:32 |
| knut | Kartagis: you can log out and in | 14:32 |
| Pici | lenin: You'd probably be better off asking in #kubuntu | 14:33 |
| Kartagis | knut, I don't want to have to do that either | 14:33 |
| imyousuf | ziroday: yes it does | 14:33 |
| |O|Sad | is there any sound related Ubuntu channel?? | 14:33 |
| ziroday | imyousuf: okay, well have you installed the graphics drivers for it? | 14:33 |
| knut | Kartagis: dont know how to solve you problem then | 14:33 |
| |O|Sad | or gnome? | 14:33 |
| dakira | imyousuf: you can try "nv" as a driver.. then perform the upgrade to intrepid and with that I would just try removing the xorg.conf since the X-Server is supposed to manage everything by itself then. | 14:34 |
| Mpole | Runpain2: try System / Administration / System Monitor | 14:34 |
| imyousuf | It shows NVidia driver, but even that does not work properly | 14:34 |
| scunizi | knut, nope.. but mac is based in unix with apple's personal tweeks.. their system is very similar to linux.. so if you're a programmer or tinker-er, you might be able to port programs over, develop something that will allow them to run like wine or simply use a different program that is designed for linux. That's why I've stayed away from ipod's/touches etc.. to locked it. | 14:34 |
| ziroday | imyousuf: well what does not work? Is the driver even installed? | 14:34 |
| imyousuf | yes I installed it and it was showing In use and enabled ziroday but when the system reboots it complains of inappropriate vga card and moves into the backup selector mode | 14:35 |
| scunizi | knut, not sure if it's available for the touch but rockbox is available for ipods.. I understand it's a good alternative to apples interface and opens the ipod up so even ogg files will play | 14:35 |
| Kartagis | does anyone know how to solve my problem? | 14:35 |
| dakira | imyousuf: in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the device section you set the driver to "nv" (instead of "nvidia").. that is some kind of a failsafe.. now upgrade to intrepid and then delete the file alltogether | 14:35 |
| imyousuf | dakira: I want to stick to Hardy because its LTS | 14:35 |
| Runpain2 | ok i got hardware says memory:501.6MB processor:Celeron(coppermine) | 14:36 |
| ziroday | imyousuf: okay, can you login and logout after installing the graphics drivers | 14:36 |
| imyousuf | dakira: IIRC nv is the OpenSource NVidia driver right? | 14:36 |
| dakira | imyousuf: right | 14:36 |
| imyousuf | ziroday: I can try that | 14:36 |
| Feyzir | yay for sounds problems | 14:37 |
| imyousuf | ziroday: trying that now | 14:37 |
| Runpain2 | its just that firefox will not connect to internet through ethernet | 14:37 |
| knut | scunizi: i need it on my laptop | 14:37 |
| scunizi | imyousuf, the 7 series cards, some had issues with the 173 & 177 driver. You might need to do what I did and install the 180.xx driver you get directly from nvidia.. helped me bunches.. I have an 8200 gforce | 14:37 |
| knut | scunizi: simply ubuntuhave itunes for | 14:37 |
| Runpain2 | every thing elese runs fine sound disply | 14:37 |
| eoke | Quick question on samba server where should the none user specific shares go? /var /home etc | 14:37 |
| Mpole | Runpain2: it's NOT firefox that connects to the internet, rather, your entire PC... is it a desktop? perhaps ur network card is kaputt! | 14:38 |
| imyousuf | scunizi: can you provide me with some pointers? | 14:38 |
| scunizi | knut, virtual box and an install of windows will allow you to install itunes | 14:38 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:39 |
| dr_willis | eoke, Huh? You can edit the smb.conf file and make shares whever you want.. Why do you wan tto 'share' system directries like /var/ ? that could be a big secuity issue | 14:39 |

| tyler_d1 | ok so you know how if a machines host key changes, you need to remove `$HOME/.ssh/known_hosts` in order to connect, I was hoping that there would be a way to just remove the one key that does not match... however I don't see any way of cyphering the content... anyone? | 14:52 |

| KenBW2 | tyler_d1: well it's been like this for years# | 14:55 |
| gizmo | KenBW2, hotmail can? | 14:55 |
| scunizi | heatmzzr, I think what you really need is just the name of the executable to start it.. there's a way to find that using grep but I've forgotten.. most executable's are in /bin or /usr/bin but even that's no guarantee | 14:55 |
| quibbler | KandK, what is the problem | 14:55 |
| KenBW2 | gizmo: hotmail doesn't allow viewing email outside hotmail (or outlook) | 14:56 |

| xmyuan_ | who can tell me what software the 'eva' is | 15:09 |
| eraggo | still gone to full screen | 15:09 |
| Jeruvy | crazy_pete: see https://packages.ubuntu.com for information on packages or online searches or use synaptic on ubuntu | 15:09 |

| synthe_ciser | hm damn disconnect... | 15:10 |
| Dre4m | Firstly can I just apologise to any one I offended with my language I didn't mean to, especially jack_sparrow ty for unbanning me, I had no idea about not using "ENTER" to kinda space out what i was saying was so annoying, nor did I about swearing, I love ubuntu IRC ad linux IRC . . sorry to all of you if I offended anyone | 15:10 |
| eraggo | idk :D | 15:10 |
| overdub | http://www.ihasaids.com/upload/data/1229313488.gif | 15:10 |
| synthe_ciser | Jeruvy, mh there is no /etc/networks/samba.conf? :x | 15:10 |
| xmyuan_ | no,i am install 'eva. and i don't know how to stop it | 15:10 |
| eraggo | game is atleast fullscreen | 15:10 |
| synthe_ciser | Jeruvy, you probably meant /etc/samba/smb.conf right? | 15:10 |
| quibbler | KandK, how much free space do you have on your / partition? | 15:10 |
| Slart | eraggo: hmm.. have you checked the application database? http://appdb.winehq.org? | 15:10 |
| Jeruvy | synthe_ciser: my bad memory, doh...ok let me get you the right name. | 15:11 |
| KandK | quibbler: 112 GB | 15:11 |
| oCean_ | eraggo: isn't there an option in the game, *not* to run fullscreen? | 15:11 |
| Slart | Dre4m: nice to see someone actually apologizing | 15:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dre4m, Welcome back.. apology accepted and appreciated.. Thanks.. Now on with the Q & A 's yaaaaaay | 15:11 |
| synthe_ciser | Jeruvy, interface names are normally preferred | 15:11 |
| synthe_ciser | ; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0 is this right? | 15:11 |
| Slart | Dre4m: =) | 15:11 |
| Jeruvy | synthe_ciser: ok, /etc/samba/samba.conf. | 15:11 |
| eraggo | no options menu or so :D | 15:11 |
| quibbler | KandK, what version of flash are you using? | 15:12 |
| eraggo | or wait :d | 15:12 |
| Dre4m | ye sorry guys, wont ever happen again I assure you. I should have read the rules first | 15:12 |
| KandK | quibbler: not sure, how do I check? | 15:12 |
| Jeruvy | synthe_ciser: no | 15:12 |
| KenBW2 | what's "gamma" wrt graphics? | 15:13 |
| KandK | quibbler: found it, 10.0 r15 | 15:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dre4m, SO what would you like to work on first.. the cool cube spinning thing .. adding apps, ask away | 15:13 |
| eraggo | not even config files :(:( | 15:13 |
| Slart | KenBW2: it's a value that says something about how bright stuff is | 15:13 |
| KenBW2 | Slart: as opposed to, er, brightness? | 15:13 |
| Slart | KenBW2: higer value means brighter things | 15:13 |
| synthe_ciser | Jeruvy, i use static ip's here.. I have two connections, Auto eth0 with DHCP and another with my static ip configuration. | 15:13 |
| xmyuan_ | slart, how can i stop installing it | 15:13 |
| Dre4m | ehehehehe, I got the spinning cube working yesterday :), scared me though hehe I was just writting my question . . | 15:13 |
| Slart | KenBW2: brightness also has to do with.. ahem.. brightness.. but it's a different thing | 15:13 |
| synthe_ciser | Jeruvy, thats not right? do i have to change it ? | 15:14 |
| Dre4m | Ok I was wondering if someone could help . . . I have downloaded exaile music player and I can't seem to find out how to set it as a default music player for when I double click an MP3 for example it loads up exaile. im using ubuntu | 15:14 |
| KenBW2 | Slart: is brightness a way of adding more white, whereas gamma is brightening the actual colours?? | 15:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dre4m, ctrl-alt-left mouse move mouse will thrill your windows friends | 15:14 |
| Slart | KenBW2: read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_correction | 15:14 |
| quibbler | KandK, enough room newest flash....did this just happen now or has it been always so? | 15:14 |
| KenBW2 | Slart: d'oh, shouldve thought of looking there :) thanks | 15:15 |
| KandK | quibbler: just started last week, been running 8.10 since a couple of weeks after it came out | 15:15 |
| Slart | KenBW2: you're welcome | 15:15 |
| Dre4m | haha!, I just did it omg that was amazing ty jack sparrow can't wait to show my gf hehe (a vista user), ty | 15:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 15:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dre4m, You have 4 sides to your cube right | 15:16 |
| Slart | KenBW2: it seems, after reading that page, that it is a value describing contrast not brightness.. I'll go sit in the corner with the pointy hat until I've read it =) | 15:16 |
| Jeruvy | synthe_ciser: you need to edit the interfaces line (and use bind-interfaces) to specify the network. So whichever adapter is handling your connections (eth0) should be there with the network cidr there also | 15:17 |
| Dre4m | jack_sparrow . . You wont belive this, (firstly yes I do have 4 sides) I spent a whole evening yesterday trying to get help and all I needed to know was the CTRL ALT thing you just said lol, im soooooooooooooooo happy now ty so much omg spent so long trying to do that. | 15:17 |
| quibbler | KandK, I've been looking on the internet however the ubuntu forums are down | 15:17 |
| Some_ux | Hi, can i add to iptables a filter on an interface that is not yet up (ppp0) ? | 15:18 |
| synthe_ciser | Jeruvy, network cidr? | 15:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dre4m, See your pm. | 15:18 |
| KandK | quibbler: I tried clearing the cache and cookies and all of that, but it didn't help | 15:18 |
| Jeruvy | synthe_ciser: the example gives a local network of 127.0.0.1/8, you will probably need to change that to your network | 15:19 |
| _anu | ddd: Symbol `_XmStrings' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking | 15:19 |

| Claire2009 | hi - i have a question - if i copy all my data to my 2nd HD, can ubuntu remember permissions setup prior to reinstallation? | 15:20 |
| Slart | KenBW2: in Gimp? | 15:20 |
| Slart | Claire2009: if you use the right tool to copy them | 15:20 |
| Jeruvy | Claire2009: rsync for one can. | 15:20 |
| Claire2009 | start - what's the right tool to use? | 15:20 |
| crazy_pete | or the right switches Claire2009 | 15:20 |
| crazy_pete | rsync, is one , cp -a is another | 15:21 |
| synthe_ciser | Jeruvy, so i have to enter the ip of my PC ? Or do i need to enter the ip of my router? | 15:21 |
| KenBW2 | Slart: in everything - it's my monitor with the problem :) | 15:21 |
| Slart | Claire2009: I'm not really sure.. (or I would have told you), I just know that there are tools that preserve permissions and there are tools that don't | 15:21 |
| hero | hey guys, how can i get mysql in my ubuntu | 15:21 |
| synthe_ciser | Jeruvy, 192.168.2.1/24 eth0 <- this is the ip of my router. | 15:21 |
| synthe_ciser | Jeruvy, and the netmask | 15:21 |
| Claire2009 | all i know is i want to copy all my data to 2nd HD, then recopy it to my 1st HD after reinstall. can i do that no problem??? | 15:21 |
| Jeruvy | synthe_ciser: thats what you want. | 15:21 |
| Slart | KenBW2: ah.. well.. can't really help you with that..sorry | 15:22 |
| KenBW2 | Slart: you already have | 15:22 |
| synthe_ciser | Jeruvy, and now it'll work? | 15:22 |
| Slart | KenBW2: oh? yay for me then.. =) | 15:22 |
| quibbler | KandK, disable all your addons and try | 15:23 |
| KandK | quibbler: didn't help, should I disable extensions too? | 15:23 |
| oCean_ | hero: start by installing the server (for example "sudo apt-get install mysql-server") | 15:23 |
| synthe_ciser | Jeruvy, it works, thank you :D | 15:23 |
| quibbler | KandK, yes | 15:23 |
| Claire2009 | help! - can i copy all my data to my 2nd HD, then copy back to 1st HD no problem after resintall? | 15:24 |
| aheckler | hey all, the latest kernel upgrade in ubuntu-proposed broke my boot, can anybody help or is anyone having this problem too? | 15:24 |
| Some_ux | can i add a rule to iptables on an interface that is not yet up - ppp0 | 15:24 |
| aheckler | Claire2009: yes | 15:24 |
| Jeruvy | synthe_ciser: cheers | 15:24 |
| Claire2009 | aheckler - thanks. | 15:24 |
| Claire2009 | aheckler - i'm guessing you had to do this before. | 15:24 |
| Mpole | Question: I have problems logging on to a Flash chatroom... could it be (a) my bandwidth is too small or (b) because I am in the process of upgrading to 8.10? | 15:24 |
| aheckler | Claire2009: reinstall? | 15:25 |
| Claire2009 | aheckler - yeah. | 15:25 |
| KandK | quibbler: now the videos won't show up, should I reenable java or flash? | 15:25 |
| aheckler | Claire2009: yeah just a few times :-P | 15:25 |
| quibbler | KandK, yes | 15:25 |
| Jeruvy | Some_ux1: yes and no. You can 'manage' rules but they typically will not load until the interface is up. | 15:25 |
| Claire2009 | aheckler - so, before i go - i just format 1st HD to reinstall ubuntu? then after reinstall, mount 2nd HD, and just copy data?? | 15:26 |
| Slart | Mpole: I doubt bandwidth would keep you from logging in.. but since someone decided to make a flash chatroom the probability of them being lacking in the brain department does get bigger.. so it might also be a .. "we only support windows" thing | 15:26 |
| aheckler | Claire2009: yep, just be careful you've moved everything onto the 2nd HD and be careful what you format | 15:26 |
| KandK | quibbler: enabled flash, video is still freezing after a couple of seconds | 15:27 |
| quibbler | KandK, type firefox -p in terminal...make a new profile and run that profile | 15:27 |
| Claire2009 | aheckler - thanks so much. i'm quite familiar with install process, and i'll make sure to copy everything i need to 2nd HD | 15:27 |

| aheckler | hey all, the latest kernel upgrade in ubuntu-proposed broke my boot, can anybody help or is anyone having this problem too? | 15:29 |
| Runpain2 | Sorry had to do a couple haircuts | 15:29 |
| Kerio | hello | 15:30 |
| Pici | kabukan: 8.10 was released in October of 2008. 8.04 was released in April of 2008. | 15:30 |
| Mpole | kabukan: 8.4.1? is that a higher version? | 15:30 |
| dayo_ | . | 15:30 |
| Ricket | i'm looking for a new theme for my ubuntu 8.10, because i see under preferences>appearance that you can install a new theme. but what type of theme do i need? like for instance gnome-look.org has a whole bunch of different types, what do I download to change the appearance of windows and such? | 15:30 |
| Artin | farsi sohbat konid | 15:30 |
| Mpole | lol... typo | 15:30 |
| Claire2009 | mpole - yep. it's chilly. but mild where i am next week | 15:30 |
| kabukan | maybe 8.04 idk like i said im new | 15:30 |
| Slart | Claire2009, Mpole: there is an offtopic channel.. let's try to keep this channel for support only | 15:30 |
| Pici | Mpole: no. Release numbers are from the date they are released. so: 2008/04 or 2008/10 | 15:30 |
| Slart | !ot | 15:30 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 15:30 |

| quibbler | KandK, I'm running out of ideas and with the forums down I can't check there...the only other idea which is radical is to uninstall firefox delete the .mozilla | 15:31 |
| Mpole | slart: where do i get instructions on how to install packages that are in tar format, step by step? | 15:31 |
| Slart | Kerio: it probably renumbered the hard drives.. you need to setup your mbr accordingly | 15:31 |
| Pici | _anu: What are you trying to do? Ubuntu does not support installing from RPM files. | 15:31 |
| Slart | !compile | Mpole | 15:31 |
| ubottu | Mpole: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 15:31 |
| Ricket | IndyGunFreak: yes but there are a whole slew of different types of themes on the left side, what do i look for? | 15:31 |
| Mpole | thanks slart | 15:31 |
| Pici | _anu: Did you install ddd from an RPM? | 15:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | Ricket: well.... what do you want to do? | 15:31 |
| Slart | Mpole: but there is no general, works-for-all way.. there's usually instructions included | 15:32 |
| KandK | quibbler: I appreciate all of your help, I will try to search the forums when they are up, thank you anyways | 15:32 |
| Kerio | Slart, what should i do? try to reinstall GRUB? | 15:32 |
| Ricket | IndyGunFreak: i have a black background and i want to find a theme that makes window titlebars and just other colors all over more black than human-brown | 15:32 |
| quibbler | KandK, or you can wait for the forums to come on line and check there or ask again here | 15:32 |
| Slart | !grub | Kerio | 15:32 |
| ubottu | Kerio: 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 | 15:32 |
| Ienorand | kabukan: 8.04.2 is the major upgrade release to the 8.04 long-term support version (Hardy), 8.10 is meant to be more cutting edge, but less stable. | 15:32 |
| Slart | Kerio: check the "restore grub" link.. | 15:32 |
| Runpain2 | i enabled dansguardian and firefox worked | 15:32 |
| Jeruvy | Some_ux: you don't have to specify a target, you can leave that open | 15:33 |
| Kerio | okay thx | 15:33 |
| Mpole | lenorand> less stable? | 15:33 |
| Slart | Kerio: I don't think you need to reinstall the entire grub.. just the mbr | 15:33 |
| aheckler | the latest kernel upgrade in ubuntu-proposed broke my boot, can anybody help or is anyone having this problem too? | 15:33 |
| shauno | Ienorand: I don't think it's intended to be less stable. it's just not supported for updates and via cannonical for the same length lifetime | 15:33 |
| KandK | quibbler: thanks for you help, I will try again later, bye! | 15:33 |
| Mpole | shauno: i have already started the upgrade. what do i expect? | 15:34 |
| Some_ux | Jeruvy: eth0 connects to a dialup which in turn creates a new ppp0 interface when a link is established. So should the rules specify eth0 or ppp0 ? | 15:34 |
| ardchoille | aheckler: The "proposed" repos are not a good idea | 15:34 |
| aheckler | ardchoille: so i have discovered :( | 15:34 |
| Ienorand | Well, yea. But isn't LTS supposed to be somewhat more stable because of the extended support, so it works in reverse...? | 15:35 |
| quibbler | KandK, bye | 15:35 |
| Slart | Kerio: you might also have to edit your grub configuration file.. but we can do that once you're finished with the mbr | 15:35 |
| Jeruvy | Some_ux: they should specify whatever device is bound on your pc, if thats eth0 then use that...but you don't have to specify either. | 15:35 |
| mattias_ | i cant remove a folder from Applications tab | 15:35 |
| Slart | mattias_: which folder? | 15:35 |
| Mpole | What version of Flash is currently the latest? Where do I get it? | 15:35 |
| Slart | !flash | Mpole | 15:36 |
| ubottu | Mpole: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 15:36 |
| Enissay | how can i install the 3.1beta version of firefox (i'm havin the 3.05)? | 15:36 |
| Kerio | okay, so first i should boot with livecd i guess? | 15:36 |
| shauno | Ienorand: I think it's just to limit how many different configurations they're supporting at once. if every release had fives years support, releasing every 6 months, they'd quickly be supporting 10 different products | 15:36 |
| Mpole | slart: u r a gem! :-) | 15:37 |
| Some_ux | Jeruvy: eth1 is the interface which connects to the internal network | 15:37 |
| ardchoille | Ienorand: LTS releases are just supported longer to minimize the upgrade frequency, good for production systems | 15:37 |
| Slart | Mpole: just one of many who hangs out here | 15:37 |
| Ienorand | mattias_: Right click on ubuntu logo, select edit menus? | 15:38 |

| deany | will it on a mounted drive? | 15:48 |
| deany | dont wanna reboot really. | 15:48 |
| elashish | you cannot run fsck on a mounted drive | 15:48 |

| Shishire | http://pastebin.com/d116b27ab | 15:58 |
| * Doonz is sorry im a noob | 15:59 | |
| Jeruvy | Doonz: man mv | 15:59 |
| jtaji | Doonz: mv "My Documents" my.documents | 15:59 |
| Doonz | isnt that move? | 15:59 |
| * Doonz confused | 15:59 | |
| oCean_ | Doonz: use <tab> for namecompletion: command would be "mv M" (and hit tab key) | 15:59 |
| elashish | Doonz, you can also escape whitespace with a \ so it becomes >mv My\ Documents my.documents | 16:00 |
| Shishire | Doonz: in linux, in order to rename something, you move it from one name to another in the same folder. | 16:00 |
| oCean_ | Doonz: after that hit space and enter new name "mv M<tab><space>blah" | 16:00 |
| Doonz | whoa info overload | 16:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Shishire, Ok, and what are you wanting to do with those partitions | 16:00 |
| Doonz | ok thanx guys /me prints out convo | 16:00 |
| mynameistux | when I run lsusb, I get this, http://pastebin.com/m483e7c95 that means my webcam is located at /dev/what? | 16:01 |
| Shishire | Jack_Sparrow: I want the partitions to be in disk order | 16:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Shishire, Still not understanding. You can rename the mount points to anything you want no need to mess with the partition themselves | 16:02 |

| lasivian | how do I limit how much space tmpfs can use? | 16:20 |
| jokkah | hardy is better | 16:20 |
| gizmo | oCean_, other than gmail? | 16:20 |
| jokkah | :) | 16:20 |
| oCean_ | gizmo: well, the mail service should allow pop or imap acccess | 16:20 |
| ArcSighter | well, that's the fact mi pc is now terribly slow after upgrading to hardy, the only new is that avahi-daemon is running anything else | 16:20 |
| lasivian | i'm following an acer aspire one tutorial, and it doesn;t really give details on how much ram the tmpfs change is using, but i think it's slowing down the system | 16:20 |

| ArcSighter | any ideas? | 16:20 |
| jokkah | ArcSighter: what kind of pc are you talking about? a desktop or a notebook or what | 16:20 |
| mib_mok1sv82 | can anyone help me or point me in me in the right direction to setup my gforce 8600m gt in ubuntu 10.8 | 16:21 |
| mib_mok1sv82 | i tryed install the propriatery drivers, but i can enable 3d effects | 16:21 |
| oCean_ | gizmo: I'm on gmail.. don't know about all those other services. | 16:21 |
| jokkah | mib_mok1sv82: instal the nvidia drivers | 16:21 |
| mib_mok1sv82 | can not enable the 3d effects | 16:21 |
| ArcSighter | jokkah a desktop pc | 16:21 |
| jokkah | mib_mok1sv82: then you must enable the driver | 16:22 |
| Juaco1 | funny, i was reading yesterday in slashdot an article about lots of people reporting exactly the same as ArcSighter | 16:22 |
| mib_mok1sv82 | jokkah: if i use the v180 driver i can not get 3d visual effects support i get the error "Desktop effects could not be enabled" | 16:22 |
| jokkah | mib_mok1sv82: then you can use th effects | 16:22 |
| ArcSighter | Juaco1 the article gave solutions??? | 16:22 |
| jokkah | mib_mok1sv82: try other driver... | 16:22 |
| jokkah | mib_mok1sv82: v179 | 16:22 |
| jokkah | mib_mok1sv82: i dont know, i dont have an nvidia, but thats what you should do... | 16:23 |
| horstle | hi | 16:23 |
| ArcSighter | it enabled effects by default after upgrading but I set them to none, so I don't know | 16:23 |
| mib_mok1sv82 | jokkah: if i use version v173 driver i get an error at startup saying "screens found, but non of them have a use able config" | 16:23 |
| ArcSighter | xorg itself is consuming a lot of more memory than I'm used to | 16:23 |
| Juaco1 | nope, just guessings, a few said it was that the last kernels have too many new features (mainly in task/mem management), others blamed software bloat | 16:23 |
| mib_mok1sv82 | jokkah: i tryed all drivers, should i install "nvidia binary kernal module source", also what is thawt :P | 16:24 |
| lasivian | or does tmpfs only "use" memory when files are copied to the virtual ramdrive? | 16:24 |
| ArcSighter | well uname -r | 16:24 |
| ArcSighter | 2.6.27-9-generic | 16:24 |
| ArcSighter | it it unstable branch | 16:24 |
| ArcSighter | in hardy i was at 2.6.26 | 16:24 |
| ArcSighter | something wrong with the kernel? | 16:24 |

| ArcSighter | well anyway what do you recommend? | 16:25 |
| Juaco1 | dunno, wait i'll see if i get the post for ya | 16:25 |
| jokkah | mib_mok1sv82: yes i think you should.. | 16:25 |
| jokkah | mib_mok1sv82: it comes with the driver? | 16:26 |

| kernel | I'm using ubuntu server kernel | 16:26 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ArcSighter: nothing's wrong with it, 2.6.17-9 is the kernel in intrepid | 16:26 |
| harish | harish | 16:26 |
| Daisuke_Ido | 2.6.27-9, that is | 16:26 |
| kernel | because server kernel use, then 4GB RAM be used. | 16:26 |
| jokkah | mib_mok1sv82: i have installed a nvidia on deb based distros, and i dont remember having any problem at al... | 16:26 |
| harish | hi | 16:26 |
| kernel | not 64bit. | 16:26 |
| mib_mok1sv82 | jokkah: what does it mean | 16:27 |
| Just_Me | Ahem. | 16:27 |
| jokkah | mib_mok1sv82: oh btw id your 64bit?¿ | 16:27 |
| harish | hiiiiiii | 16:27 |
| Juaco1 | ArcSighter, my conclusion on that was that ubuntu is a system where you are making a choice, if your choice is performance over everything else, maybe you'll feel better with other, lower level distros | 16:27 |
| mib_mok1sv82 | jokkah: what does it mean binary kernel module | 16:27 |
| Kerio | i cant boot from live cd | 16:27 |
| Kerio | busybox starts | 16:27 |
| ArcSighter | yes I know is the intrepid's kernel, I was just .27 in unstable branch, and maybe its an issue | 16:27 |
| gizmo | why in evolutione dont have pop3? | 16:27 |
| kernel | yes | 16:27 |
| gizmo | is it pop3 same like pop? | 16:27 |
| ASULutzy | Kerio: Busybox isn't good, did you verify the live-cd was burned correctly? | 16:27 |
| jokkah | mib_mok1sv82: it means the driver will add some modules, so your kernel will be prepared to use all the graphics card functions for example the 3d stuff | 16:28 |
| kernel | please serch in internet | 16:28 |
| gizmo | kernel, yes in waht? | 16:28 |
| ArcSighter | Juaco1 I came from debian | 16:28 |
| Juaco1 | it depends on your hardware and what do you want to do with your system and how much effort do you want to put in order to do it | 16:28 |
| ArcSighter | and no it's not performance | 16:28 |
| kernel | gizmo, Please, use the Google.. :) | 16:28 |
| ArcSighter | but I can't possibly work in a machine that suddenly became so slow | 16:28 |
| jokkah | mib_mok1sv82: so you sure want to install that too.... | 16:28 |
| Kerio | ASULutzy yes, i installed from that cd previously | 16:29 |
| ArcSighter | Juaco1 pv | 16:29 |
| Juaco1 | k | 16:29 |
| ASULutzy | Kerio: Then some piece of hardware on your system must not be very happy with Ubuntu for some reason | 16:29 |

| scampbell | laslivan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard <- have a look at that, it should enlighten you. | 16:49 |
| DefamedPrawn | is there an app that can quickly convert image formats? Like a mini-gimp? | 16:49 |
| Harlin | DefamedPrawn: imagemagick | 16:49 |
| famast | (or if not preventing from automounting, at least prevent them from popping up windows) | 16:49 |
| lasivian | for example, if I want to find an icon a program is using I would look for it's running directory. But in Linux the icon is part of the windows system and the binary is seperate | 16:49 |
| scampbell | DEfamedPrawn: imagemagick is a collection of image manipulation programs. It comes with 'convert' which does as you ask. | 16:50 |
| erUSUL | DefamedPrawn: use convert/mogrify form imagemagik in command line | 16:50 |

| reya276 | sahil_: graphical interface, what? really | 17:02 |
| Nomexous | reya276: Try 'sudo mount -a' | 17:02 |
| sahil_ | a graphical tool to mount | 17:02 |
| reya276 | Nomexous: this is not a one time thing, I need this drive to automatically show and function on login | 17:02 |
| sahil_ | look it in synaptic | 17:02 |
| roflcopter | Whenever I reboot, the sound is muted. I have to go into alsamixer and turn up the volume for the 'Front' channel. | 17:03 |
| Nomexous | reya276: Yes, but if you just changed the fstab, then you'll need to mount it manually the first time. Next time you boot up, it should automatically mount. | 17:03 |
| roflcopter | is there any workround | 17:03 |

| catmando | hey all | 17:03 |
| catmando | i've got a very strange problem | 17:03 |
| c369 | i should be able to ping a debian installer if the connection was setup correctly, right? | 17:03 |
| jerr | Anyone know where I can see what driver my sound is using? | 17:03 |
| reya276 | Nomexous: oh I c | 17:04 |
| catmando | i've set up a dhcp/tftp-hpa server to allow me to do a PXE install | 17:04 |
| catmando | testing went fine | 17:04 |
| catmando | i.e. i can get files using tftp | 17:04 |
| reya276 | Nomexous: this is the result mount: mount point /media/disk does not exist | 17:04 |
| catmando | but the syslog keeps saying that the client is searching for a file that doesn't exist | 17:04 |
| catmando | the file most definitely exists | 17:04 |
| catmando | i've even set 777 on it and its parent | 17:05 |
| Solver | catmando: tftp is often chrooted | 17:05 |
| catmando | it's running as root | 17:05 |
| Solver | catmando: so you need to take into account the path a the file is called | 17:05 |
| kgodwin | Anyone ever have their XRandR just disappear for no apparent reason? | 17:05 |
| Nomexous | reya276: Does the folder /media/disk exist? If not, sudo mkdir /media/disk | 17:05 |
| kiplantt | What does debuild -sa mean ? | 17:05 |
| catmando | it's set as an absolute path | 17:06 |
| Solver | some tftp servers (and hpa iirc) will chroot | 17:06 |
| Nomexous | reya276: Then sudo mount -a again | 17:06 |
| Solver | so /tftpboot/foo should be fetched as /foo | 17:06 |
| jsquared | so I've got a panel in Gnome with the fast-user-switch applet on it. if I switch the orientation of the panel so it's docked on either side of my screen, the icon is displayed in the wrong spot (you can try it yourself). any idea how to fix this? | 17:06 |
| === You're now known as ubuntulog | ||
| catmando | dhcp.conf has it as an absolute path though... | 17:06 |
| Solver | and it's failing right? | 17:06 |
| reya276 | Nomexous: well that is where the disk suppose to mount | 17:06 |
| catmando | Solver, yeah | 17:07 |
| Solver | can't hurt to try it assuming a chroot. I have seen issues like that before where the path was a bit non-obvious | 17:07 |
| reya276 | Nomexous: so before I change my fstab file I would mount it manually from nautilus and that is the path it would use /media/disk | 17:07 |
| Solver | if you use a tftp client would you fetch the file as /foo or /tftpboot/foo ? | 17:08 |
| Nomexous | reya276: So the folder exists and mount is giving you that error? | 17:08 |
| Solver | given that I have no idea about the real files involved :) | 17:08 |

| kgodwin | I'm trying to figure out why XRandR disappeared on me for no apparent reason ;( | 17:09 |
| Nomexous | reya276: But fstab and mount don't do that. | 17:09 |
| jsquared | darius__: edit your profile, then go to the Colors tab | 17:09 |
| roflcopter | comicinker: dd | 17:09 |
| Nomexous | reya276: Just run 'sudo mkdir /media/disk; mount -a' and see if it works. | 17:09 |
| catmando | Solver, let me run a couple tests and provide a pastebin | 17:09 |
| reya276 | Nomexous: ok | 17:09 |
| Solver | catmando: cool | 17:09 |

| skydart | The "developemnet" version of Wine 1.1.13 just became available today from winehq.org. Generally speaking, how long does it take for it to show up in the repositories? | 17:11 |
| Chousuke | half a year :p | 17:11 |
| deany | there anything i can do to speed up the UI a little bit. i have a decent system, dont have compiz enabled but lot of the time when i have a few apps open, switchin between em is a little slow in that it shows the app you were using for like 1/2 a second.. | 17:12 |
| Chousuke | unless it goes to backports. | 17:12 |
| deany | skydart: | 17:12 |
| deany | skydart: use the winehq repo | 17:12 |
| Chousuke | skydart: for wine, it's usually best to use the repos provided by winehq | 17:12 |
| ranec | Has anyone had success making a bootable USB flash drive with/ 8.10? | 17:12 |
| deany | skydart: ubuntu only have whats considered stable by wine.. (1.0.1 now). everything else is considered beta. by wine | 17:13 |
| darius__ | sorry for my ignorance but where do I go to edit profiles? | 17:13 |
| jsquared | ranec: I have | 17:13 |
| skydart | Chousuke, I am using the repo's from Wine, and I would have thought that it would automatically update it for me, but it doesn't. | 17:13 |
| ranec | Hi jsquared | 17:13 |
| jsquared | darius__: Edit > Profiles... from the terminal menu | 17:13 |
| Chousuke | skydart: well, the winehq repos might take a while to update. | 17:13 |
| deany | oh.. have they made a deb for it yet | 17:13 |
| ranec | I've done it twice with/ 2 different flash drives | 17:13 |
| ranec | and each failes differently | 17:13 |
| Chousuke | skydart: but you should ask the wine devs about that | 17:13 |
| Hikeractive | how can i connect to wireless network with wpa encryption through the command line. I read that with wep it would be iwconfig eth1 essid X key Y, but I don't know how to do it with wpa. | 17:13 |
| jsquared | ranec: never experienced anything like that | 17:14 |
| skydart | Chousuke, yes, I figured perhaps, but thought someone here might know. Perhaps a couple of days. Thanks, I'll check out the Wine devs about that. | 17:14 |

| ranec | Is there anythin specific about the drives I should know / prepare? | 17:15 |
| jsquared | darius__: for example, if you want black-on-white like you said before, pick "black on white" from the built-in-schemes list | 17:15 |
| it_croud | i can type 32- 40 wpm ONLY | 17:15 |
| jsquared | ranec: well I'd definitely format them first | 17:15 |

| ra21vi | i am bit in a trouble. when i login with GDM, it shows "Error" in a popped dialog | 17:18 |
| darius__ | it will work if I'm in xp | 17:18 |
| jsquared | ranec: that works. you could also try the wubi installer | 17:18 |
| darius__ | but not in ubuntu on 2 dif computers | 17:19 |
| jsquared | darius__: okay. well, mounting is also straightforward | 17:19 |
| ra21vi | when I do sudo, first output is "error", then the thing works | 17:19 |
| darius__ | I've tried terminal mounting it as well | 17:19 |
| jsquared | darius__: do you see it in the list of drives in nautilus? | 17:19 |
| ra21vi | also, when I open graphical apps, which require user authentication, it hangs | 17:19 |
| ranec | So i can use wubi in XP from the CD-ROM to make the USB flash drive? :-O | 17:19 |
| ra21vi | can someone suggest me how to get out of this | 17:19 |
| Solver | ra21vi: have you been screwing with PAM or nsswitch.conf? :) | 17:19 |
| jsquared | ranec: er, sorry | 17:20 |
| darius__ | doesn't see it in nautlus | 17:20 |

| Solver | ra21vi: check what /etc/nsswitch.conf says. compare it to a working box. be very careful when editing that file - don't change it unless you are sure your fix is right or you can easily lock yourself out entirely | 17:21 |
| Solver | ra21vi: also, check the logs for sudo | 17:21 |

| Pici | mib_qn9ny3j2: Are you using Ubuntu? We use apt to manage packages, not rpm. | 17:25 |

| jacobw-uk | it seems to be scrambling the wpa2-psk key in network-manager | 17:33 |
| Solver | ra21vi: there are a lot. I use the XFS filesystem so use xfsdump. Tar is good but you really should have the filesystem read-only or unmounted. if you use LVM you can take a snapshot & back that up | 17:33 |
| jacobw-uk | i keep putting it in but it changes it to a much longer string of hex | 17:33 |

| Solver | ra21vi: so good luck. that is a tricky situation to untangle. PAM is not simple | 17:36 |
| bazhang | lasivian, netbooK? | 17:36 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: Probably no. I don't even know what it is. Does md5 have something to do with checksums? | 17:36 |

| bazhang | Stalker72, failing that (ie its okay) then reburn at low speed and do the disk integrity check at startup | 17:38 |

| mysticdarkhack | ikonia, oh now you tell me | 17:38 |

| AJC_Z0 | rakesh: Check pulseaudio bar in alsamixer and sliders in gnome-volume-control | 17:39 |
| ikonia | mysticdarkhack: I did some big research into it before purchasing a black berry and decided against it for this very reason | 17:39 |

| Berto | what could be wrong with my sudoers? | 18:01 |
| Stalker72 | deany: Yeah, I don't like Brasero either. :P | 18:01 |
| bazhang | Stalker72, then try the boot paremeter adjustments | 18:02 |
| bazhang | err parameter | 18:02 |
| bobbob1016 | Does anyone know how I can remove users from a hamachi group, without being able to join because there are 15 users already? My home PC is on, and when I try to connect from my laptop, 1000 miles away it says network full. | 18:02 |
| Afrohealer | Any VNC server that you guys recomend? | 18:02 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: How? | 18:02 |
| runderwo | Berto: should be %admin not admin | 18:02 |
| deany | well its still in its infancy, maybe 1 day.. | 18:02 |
| ArcSighter | Berto is actually %admin ALL ... because it's a group | 18:02 |
| Milosz | How can in install German as a spellchecking language_ | 18:03 |
| Milosz | ? | 18:03 |
| Berto | runderwo, ArcSighter thanks!! i thought that was a comment :) | 18:03 |
| Stalker72 | Milosz: In Firefox? | 18:03 |
| Milosz | I tried to do it, and I thought I *had* done it, but apparently not | 18:03 |
| Berto | runderwo, ArcSighter perfect thanks again! *hug* ;-) | 18:03 |
| Milosz | Stalker72, no in for example OpenOffice and GEdit | 18:03 |
| bazhang | Stalker72, you know how to get into grub at startup? the 3 2 1 countdown? edit it there (e to edit) then remove quiet and splash at the end) | 18:03 |
| runderwo | Milosz: install aspell-de ? | 18:03 |
| simplexio | Berto: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 18:03 |
| Stalker72 | Milosz: I think you can manually install dictionaries for OpenOffice. | 18:03 |
| simplexio | Berto: is the right line | 18:03 |
| ArcSighter | well people I'm almost downgrading to hardy anyone knows how to solve this | 18:03 |
| ArcSighter | intrepid issue? | 18:04 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: Remember that the OS is not installed at all. The HDDs are completely empty. ;) | 18:04 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: It's a new PC build. | 18:04 |
| Sub101 | arcsighter: whats your problem? | 18:04 |
| mamaro | is dapper the lasted ubuntu? | 18:04 |
| Milosz | runderwo, well you say that as if this were the most normal thing in the world but I don't think normal users, and not even me (I'm using Linux for 15 years now, and develop software on it on my own) can just "guess" that for spelling in openoffice and gedit they need to "install" "aspell-de" | 18:04 |
| ArcSighter | I said, intrepid running very slowly | 18:04 |
| Milosz | just pointing it out ;) | 18:04 |
| bazhang | Stalker72, on the live cd | 18:04 |
| Gigacore | hello guys! I downloaded Google Earth in .bin format.. how to install it on my ubuntu? | 18:04 |
| === Night-Off is now known as Nightchill | ||
| tritium | Gigacore: enable the medibuntu repository, and sudo apt-get install it | 18:05 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: When I launch a live session with the CD, does the countdown come up? | 18:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mamaro, No that is quite old | 18:05 |
| bazhang | Stalker72, yep | 18:05 |
| === marko__ is now known as marko-_- | ||
| Gigacore | tritium: where to enable medibuntu? | 18:05 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: brb, let me try. :) | 18:05 |
| Sub101 | gigacore: sudo ./name.bin or just ./name.bin | 18:05 |
| tritium | !medibuntu | Gigacore | 18:05 |
| ubottu | Gigacore: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 18:05 |
| ryker65 | printing/CUPS issue here any help greatly appreciated....wife and kids angry.....want windows back so they can print | 18:05 |
| simplexio | Gigacore: another way is just sh whatever.bin , but removing package will be much harder | 18:05 |
| Milosz | language-support-de | 18:06 |
| Milosz | i think that's the right metapackage | 18:06 |
| Gigacore | ok | 18:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !de | 18:06 |
| ubottu | In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. | 18:06 |

| Milosz | but thanks for pointing it out | 18:06 |

| jester- | !anyone | sahil_ | 18:08 |
| runderwo | Milosz: I used a question mark because I'm not sure if the program you're using uses libaspell or not... | 18:08 |
| ubottu | sahil_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 18:08 |
| srid | I'd be interested in contributing to it as I am working on similar efforts at my job | 18:08 |
| simplexio | sahil_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 18:08 |

| Sub101 | sahil_: i know it is to do with enabling a2dp forwarding, but i could never make it work | 18:08 |

| Cedara | I could need assistance because I made a mess in changing the fstab | 18:09 |
| sahil_ | simplexio | 18:09 |

| Cedara | I have a log file i got that I don't quite get | 18:09 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: The countdown didn't show up, only a flashing underscore for a few seconds. | 18:09 |
| AnaisCareMaiz | gnash doesnt work well | 18:09 |
| simplexio | sahil_: btw.. it should work automaticly if you have bluetooth connection | 18:09 |

| sahil_ | it works fine in vista | 18:10 |
| firecrotch | I recall reading that X can be configured to run a single application instead of running a full-fledged window manager or DE, however this was a long time ago that I had found instructions on how to do it, and have since lost the bookmark... can anyone point me in the right direction? | 18:10 |
| Cedara | Situation is this: I changed an ntfs partition to ext3 and changed the fstab, but now it won't boot properly and can't find the /home | 18:10 |

| runderwo | ryker65: what does denied in command line mean? | 18:11 |
| simplexio | firecrotch: x && xterm | 18:11 |
| smoovep | Question? vmware continues to fail vmmon.ko error.. and ideas? | 18:11 |

| sahil_ | so, can you tell me how to safely uninstall ubuntu so that i could log in to vista without grub | 18:13 |
| bazhang | sahil_, simply delete the partition then fix the mbr in windows | 18:13 |
| fL`y | hi | 18:14 |
| sahil_ | what is mbr | 18:14 |
| user___ | smoovep: (you might also look into virtualbox as a replacement) | 18:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !mbr | 18:14 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 18:14 |

| sukiminna | a-stray-cat`: just use gedit | 18:15 |
| runderwo | ryker65: but it still might flood-kick you ;) | 18:15 |
| sahil_ | frustrated | 18:16 |
| sahil_ | frustrated | 18:16 |
| a-stray-cat` | hmm | 18:16 |
| a-stray-cat` | ill try gedit then, was using gvim | 18:16 |
| nickrud | a-stray-cat`, eclipse will do that, but it's a big swiss knife java app | 18:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sahil_, Please lose the running commentarty | 18:16 |
| albuntu | a-stray-cat`: you can try bluefish | 18:16 |
| a-stray-cat` | ah, eclipse | 18:16 |
| a-stray-cat` | bluefish? | 18:16 |
| runderwo | ryker65: ps ax |grep cupsd | 18:16 |
| ArcSighter | simplexio I've done it a lot of times i just let it there in the case that the slow downs problem I'm experienced may be related with thunderbird | 18:16 |
| ArcSighter | i have not safe-mode like in windows | 18:16 |
| a-stray-cat` | ill take a look, thanks | 18:16 |
| a-stray-cat` | also, i heard there was a gimp patch or configuration file that lays out its controls to be more like photoshop? would anyone happen to knwo the name of that? | 18:17 |
| drakesoft | hello, everybody! I want to download the alpha 3 of kubuntu (jaunty), but the download server says "not found". When is the release of the cd images? | 18:17 |
| sahil_ | i have ubuntu server installed in an old machine but it says no wvdial installed so how i am supposed to connect it to net | 18:17 |
| ArcSighter | people, any experiences with jaunty??? | 18:17 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 for jaunty discussion ArcSighter | 18:18 |
| quiksilver | if im just messing around to learn python etc is wubi okay for me to install? | 18:18 |
| Radtoo | a-stray-cat`: gimpshop but I think there ain't been a release for a long time... krita actually IS more like photoshop | 18:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !dialup | 18:18 |
| ubottu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 18:18 |
| Slart | a-stray-cat`: I think it's called gimpshop | 18:18 |
| nickrud | a-stray-cat`, that's called gimpshop, but isn't supported by the gimp people so I hear | 18:18 |
| a-stray-cat` | krita? | 18:18 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: So basically I should just do a re-burn with K3b, with lowest writing speed? | 18:19 |
| a-stray-cat` | gimpshop eh, thanks for the info :3 | 18:19 |
| Dre4m | hey men & ladies, Im using compiz fusion with manager and plugins etc etc, im trying to get my desktop to just look like a cube . . not when i rotate it not zooming out . . as if im looking inside the cube . . but when im not rotating . . so if you took the front face of a cube off . . . I have looked everywhere and cant seem to do it yet I have seen others like it any ideas? | 18:19 |
| Radtoo | a-stray-cat`: GIMP is a great editor... even without photoshop type UI. Problem is, it ain't like photoshop in the way it doesn't really support vectors and all. Might want to try koffice's krita. | 18:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | quiksilver, Personally I wont use it, I would rather see you do a regular install on its' own partition | 18:19 |
| ArcSighter | I got loadavg of 15.42 this is impossible! | 18:19 |
| sahil_ | is anybody here running a bluetooth headset with ubuntu | 18:19 |
| a-stray-cat` | i just have trouble finding my tools in gimp | 18:19 |
| a-stray-cat` | im just editing a couple of screencaps, but its slow going because all my buttons are in the wrong place ;/ | 18:19 |
| bazhang | Stalker72, odd that you get dropped to busybox like that, the burn is the culprit imo | 18:20 |
| Radtoo | a-stray-cat`: http://www.koffice.org/krita/pics/girl_by_enkhitan.png <- krita screenshot | 18:20 |
| sahil_ | suggest any partition manager for ubuntu | 18:20 |

| albuntu | sahil_: System > Administration > Partition Editor | 18:21 |
| sahil_ | i am doing gksu gparted but nothing happens | 18:21 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: One more thing that MIGHT be the problem. The BIOS detect my HDD (Western Digital Black, 1 TB, 32 MB cache), but somewhere in the boot it says something about hard drive not detected, only for half a second. | 18:21 |
| simplexio | ArcSighter: does top tell you what programs missbehave | 18:21 |
| Scunizi | sahil_: try sudo apt-get install gparted first | 18:21 |
| quiksilver | Jack_Sparrow: i cant seem to burn the iso to disc | 18:21 |
| bazhang | Stalker72, then you need to find and mount it | 18:21 |
| quiksilver | my burner wont read the cd's i put in | 18:21 |
| quiksilver | so i cant partition | 18:21 |
| sahil_ | it asks for password and when i provide it nothing happens | 18:21 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: Do you mean auto-detect in BIOS? | 18:22 |
| sahil_ | System > Administration > Partition Editor there is no partition editor here | 18:22 |
| albuntu | sahil_: try sudo gparted | 18:22 |

| Stalker72 | bazhang: The boot devicy priority thing finds the HDD, but not somewhere else in the BIOS. Weird! | 18:22 |
| sahil_ | thanx | 18:23 |
| albuntu | bazhang: right , my fault | 18:23 |
| sukiminna | runderwo: hehe..forgot the install part got me ther | 18:23 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: The boot both detects and don't detect them...... | 18:23 |
| sahil_ | for apt-get suggestion, i shouldt have thought tha | 18:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | quiksilver, isorecorder is free quick and easy.. (for burning in windows) | 18:23 |
| bazhang | Stalker72, that is very odd; do other cd's have the same issue? | 18:23 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: Yes | 18:23 |
| ArcSighter | so people I have no experience downgrading, editing sources.list will do it, or I have to go futher? | 18:23 |
| quiksilver | Jack_Sparrow: yes, but my burning device wont read my cd | 18:23 |
| bazhang | ArcSighter, complete reinstall | 18:23 |
| sahil_ | coming back is anyone here have connected bluetooth headset with ubuntu | 18:23 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: My MB is an Asus P6T Deluxe, if that helps. I know there is an integrated RAID controller from Marvell. | 18:24 |
| tritium | ArcSighter: there is no supported downgrade path | 18:24 |
| sukiminna | can we downgrade from ubuntu 8.10 to 8.04? | 18:24 |
| tritium | sukiminna: see above | 18:24 |
| ryker65 | runderwo not used to IRC and how to message indiv., learning but this is the output from las command you suggested: 6759 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep cupsd | 18:24 |
| bazhang | sukiminna, sure, with a complete reinstall | 18:24 |
| a-stray-cat` | hey, when i have a menu open, the print screen key no longer takes a picture | 18:24 |
| ArcSighter | tritium if I change source preferences | 18:24 |
| a-stray-cat` | is there any way around that? | 18:24 |
| ArcSighter | of apt | 18:24 |
| bazhang | ArcSighter, no | 18:24 |
| sahil_ | sukiminna why would you wantto do that | 18:25 |
| ArcSighter | I could downgrade? | 18:25 |

| sahil_ | no answers!!!! | 18:25 |
| sahil_ | is no one have ever done this | 18:25 |
| bazhang | sahil_, dont repeat every 60 seconds | 18:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sahil_, You need a better question | 18:25 |
| sahil_ | bazhang | 18:25 |
| Radtoo | a-stray-cat`: might want to use a screenshot program with a timer or a different snapshot key... like gnome-screenshot. | 18:25 |
| a-stray-cat` | alright, thanks | 18:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sahil_, The best questions make for the best answers. Providing info on your hardware, the nature of the problem, what you have tried etc. will help in solving your issues | 18:26 |
| sahil_ | its a better Question because it is yet to be answered | 18:26 |
| simplexio | sahil_: it should be plug and play. but we cant help you if you dont tell us what error it gives | 18:26 |
| toy | m in | 18:26 |
| sahil_ | bazhang, i am made to repeat because there is no solution for me | 18:26 |
| bazhang | sahil_, repeating like that every 60 seconds will not get an answer quicker | 18:26 |
| bazhang | sahil_, so please stop. | 18:27 |
| earthian | so what is with firefox? where are my pages? | 18:27 |
| ryker65 | runderwo, ok it accepted my passwd with no output should i try installing the printer now? | 18:27 |
| earthian | does anybody else have problems with firefox since around 3 days???? | 18:27 |
| sahil_ | obex error | 18:27 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: Could a re-burn solve the problem? | 18:27 |
| bazhang | Stalker72, likely yes; using the cd/dvd creator in gnome has best results here | 18:28 |
| Stalker72 | bazhang: Brasero or the integrated one? | 18:28 |
| bazhang | Stalker72, brasero always fails for me :) | 18:29 |

| Radtoo | earthian: no idea past that you may want to make ~/.mozilla writable and at worst, move it somewhere so a new folder may be created for testing purposes. (Old trick also was to delete the chrome file it contained... but it may not be applicable this time) | 18:29 |

| Dre4m | does anyone know how to get my desktop to look like im in a cube without having to rotate the thing? | 18:30 |
| Baughn | webframp: ...I'd ask you about it, but I'm actually trying to make it work on gentoo right now. ^^; | 18:30 |
| ArcSighter | so I'm lost why this processes are consuming that much CPU/RAM if they ran succesfully on hardy? | 18:31 |
| creek23 | is it possible to make a DEB file from windows -- it's just an archive with md5 hashes isn't it? | 18:31 |
| MarkusT | iluminator: press Alt-F2 and rund "metacity --replace". After that, just disable desktop effects... | 18:31 |
| webframp | Baughn: hehe, well i couldn't help i use arch ;) | 18:31 |
| simplexio | sahil_: and actually this one is probably better howto get headset working http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786640 | 18:31 |
| bazhang | ArcSighter, I would try to create another user, and barring any improvements there try lxde / fluxbox or something lighter | 18:31 |
| earthian | ok. thanks. apt-get remove firefox-3.0 --purge && apt-get install opera will solve the problem :( | 18:32 |
| simplexio | earthian: you have seen the light | 18:32 |
| ArcSighter | bazhang: it will log on in another user wait a second | 18:32 |

| simplexio | ryker65: /etc/init.d/cupsys start | 18:34 |
| Baughn | Dre4m: Any cam that uses the standard USB camera/video protocol will work | 18:34 |
| iluminator101 | ahh...thanks MARKUST :) | 18:34 |
| Dre4m | ye work , , and look like a joke lol | 18:34 |
| MarkusT | iluminator: You're welcome | 18:34 |
| Dre4m | mine "works" but it looks rediculous . . no good drivers or anything | 18:34 |
| Dre4m | dark and dingy and totally awfull un usable | 18:35 |
| Baughn | Dre4m: "Dark"? | 18:35 |
| Dre4m | ye | 18:35 |
| Dre4m | dark | 18:35 |
| Baughn | Dre4m: Probably the program reading it just doesn't do brightness adjustment | 18:35 |
| Dre4m | Baughn: dark . . . | 18:35 |
| Dre4m | hmmm | 18:36 |
| ryker65 | when I input that I get command not found | 18:36 |
| Dre4m | well whats a program I can test it? as in just view it? | 18:36 |

| dimberti | Hi all. Is there a way to set up ubuntu to boot in bash? | 18:36 |
| h4mx0r | is there a simpler way of doing this? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 18:37 |
| Dre4m | h4mx0r: plz be more specific | 18:37 |
| Solver | dimberti: you mean boot without a gui? | 18:37 |
| dimberti | Right. | 18:37 |
| lasivian | how do I symlink one directory to another? | 18:37 |
| lasivian | and will a binary be fooled? | 18:38 |
| arcsighter | bazhang I'm in another user I'll test | 18:38 |
| Solver | dimberti: you can set the run level to be say 3 instead of 5. 5 normally is defined as starting the gui | 18:38 |
| Baughn | lasivian: Same way as you symlink anything else, and any program that doesn't explicitly check for symlinks will be "fooled". | 18:38 |
| Dre4m | this is gonna sound like an insane question BAZHANG . . . but where is the program now its installed? | 18:38 |
| Dre4m | I cant find it | 18:38 |
| Pici | Solver, dimberti: Ubuntu does not setup runlevels like that. | 18:38 |
| usersam | cpu maxes out when playing mp4 files and makes movie skip, is it worth burning to dvd and playing from there? would that be ledd cpu intensive? | 18:38 |
| Solver | dimberti: nowe historially this was done by editing /etc/inittab | 18:38 |
| Baughn | Dre4m: dpkg -L cheese | grep bin | 18:38 |
| lasivian | Baughn: do I need a "real" directory to link from? | 18:38 |
| usersam | less? | 18:38 |
| Solver | Pici: I was just about to ask if there had been some change | 18:38 |
| pw- | I would like to know how to turn off HDD spindown, ever since the past two acpi updates, my HDD spins down several times in a minute, and spins back up only a few seconds later (this is on a laptop) | 18:38 |
| Baughn | lasivian: As opposed to? | 18:38 |
| Dre4m | Baughn: im new to ubuntu that makes no sense lol? | 18:39 |
| lasivian | mkdir directory, symlink -l directory directory2 | 18:39 |
| RodMcKay | hi all, i want to upgrade my hardy to intrepid. last time i tried the proprietary fglrx (ati) driver wasn't available. is it available now? | 18:39 |
| dimberti | Solver: And I'm assuming you can't do that anymore? | 18:39 |
| Pici | dimberti: If you want to always boot to text mode, sudo update-rc.d gdm remove | 18:39 |
| r0y4l | hi guys. if i execute hcitool scan i get "no such device" i don't get bt working. i always find howtos getting it working with a dongle but not with built-in bluetooth as i have. | 18:39 |
| Dre4m | found it | 18:39 |
| John`anderson | how do i replace the ubuntu icon in the taskbar with the original Gnome 'foot' icon?? (asked before but lost logs of howto) | 18:39 |
| raylu | lasivian: no | 18:39 |
| hieu_ | hi i was trying to install prozilla and this error come up "./configure: 702: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" what to do? | 18:39 |
| raylu | lasivian: in fact, it shouldn't exist prior to linking | 18:39 |
| Solver | dimberti: they changed stuff and I haven't caught up yet :) i use ubuntu/debian/solaris/etc :) | 18:39 |
| lasivian | thanks | 18:39 |
| Baughn | Dre4m: It's a terminal command. "dpkg -L cheese" lists all the files in cheese, | pipes its output into grep's input, "grep bin" discards all lines that don't contain bin, eg. don't refer to an executable. | 18:39 |
| dimberti | Solver: Ah. | 18:39 |
| Scunizi | Dre4m: type what Baughn gave you in a terminal and it will tell you where it's located and what the binary name is to start the program | 18:40 |
| dimberti | Pici: I got nothing to lose, I'll give it a try, thanks. | 18:40 |
| pw- | John`anderson: try this http://www.ubuntu-tweak.com download that program, within its settings you can change the icon to anything you wish | 18:40 |
| arcsighter | bazhang : this sucks: I'm in another user with visual effects enabled and I dont get slowdowns | 18:40 |
| Dre4m | I fond it now man | 18:40 |
| John`anderson | ty | 18:40 |
| pw- | I would like to know how to turn off HDD spindown, ever since the past two acpi updates, my HDD spins down several times in a minute, and spins back up only a few seconds later (this is on a laptop) | 18:40 |
| Dre4m | Baughn: it looks dark and dingy . . its proved my point its not the program im using the cam just looks totally terrible on ubuntu why would that be? whats a fix? | 18:40 |
| xjunior | how can I get the newest version of ONE package? | 18:40 |
| simplexio | h4mx0r: not really.. you may have problems with right but those are quite easy to fix | 18:40 |
| hieu_ | what does the "./" command do? | 18:41 |
| bazhang | arcsighter, so the new user has a more reasonable response rate? | 18:41 |
| Scunizi | Dre4m: could be just the drivers. The cam might be one that they have struggled with to reverse engineer the drivers for. | 18:41 |
| pw- | hieu_ it executes the program you put after the command | 18:41 |
| Solver | hieu_: references the current working direcort. | 18:41 |
| neosuki | Hey guys, I'm trying to rip an audio cd using lame in command line mode | 18:41 |
| Solver | hieu_: so ./ls in /bin would execute /bin/ls | 18:41 |
| Dre4m | apparently its "FULLY SUPPORTED" this cam . . . im using no installed drivers just ubuntu default you know? | 18:42 |
| Radtoo | neosuki: you sure you don't want to use some helper like k3b? :) | 18:42 |
| Dre4m | any advice? | 18:42 |
| Baughn | Dre4m: Whatever makes you think it's not the program? | 18:42 |
| Dre4m | its totally gay im having to dual boot to windows to just to use a webcam | 18:42 |
| Baughn | Dre4m: It could just be that the windows program automatically adjusts brightness, and cheese doesn't | 18:42 |
| neosuki | but though i can see in nautilus browser the audio cd content, how can I ls the files in the terminal? | 18:42 |
| akravets | damn, read a story about that girl and Ubuntu..,hope people will try to find more about Ubuntu now... | 18:42 |
| Solver | akravets: :) | 18:42 |
| hieu_ | so stuff that are in green are "programs"? | 18:42 |
| albuntu | can anyone tell me how to edit the gnome panels in chroot ? i mean not graphically but using gconf etc. thank you | 18:42 |
| Solver | if she gave up on school so easily she'd drop out for some other reason later | 18:43 |
| akravets | i mean, my wife and 5 year old daughter use Ubuntu and no problems there... | 18:43 |
| simplexio | arcsighter: probably your config are messed on another account.. easiest way to "fix" it is "sudo cp ~olduser/* ~newuser/ -R" | 18:43 |
| neosuki | wot could be the right path for an audio cd if i want to browse from the terminal/cmd line? | 18:43 |
| akravets | my mom uses it, really | 18:43 |
| Dre4m | No, when i use msn its fine, AMCAP its fine, record agent its fine preview mode its fine . . . . as soon as its in ubuntu its dark and looks awfull :(, im having to duel boot to use msn if I cant get this sorted :( | 18:43 |
| Scunizi | Dre4m: try a different program to control the cam.. digicam or check it out in ekiga (voip client, already installed) | 18:43 |
| Pici | akravets: Please join #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support discussion. | 18:43 |
| simplexio | arcsighter: probably some . starting directory has some insane config option turned on | 18:43 |
| Solver | hieu_: depends on your setup. if you do ls -l you will see the permissions on the left | 18:43 |
| Solver | hieu_: "x" means execute. worth doing some reading on permissions | 18:43 |
| Scunizi | Dre4m: also try in aMSN (in the repo's) | 18:43 |
| akravets | Pici, ok. didn't know that channel existed | 18:43 |
| Dre4m | i use AMSN | 18:44 |
| arcsighter | simplexio: how to clean | 18:44 |
| hieu_ | no like in ubuntu after i do a ls command, stuff appears in different colors | 18:44 |
| hieu_ | and wondering which one are "executable" | 18:44 |
| Pici | hieu_: green | 18:44 |
| tenang | guys teach me what does chmod do and how should you use it correctly, with sudo or not? | 18:44 |
| hieu_ | ok | 18:44 |
| Radtoo | neosuki: Audio cds don't really have files... you can show tracks with say, cdparanoia, but... | 18:44 |
| Pici | tenang: Start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 18:44 |
| neosuki | ubuntu has auto mounted my audio cd, what's the absolute path? | 18:44 |
| Solver | tenang: change permissions on a file. I recommend starting here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod | 18:45 |
| kkkduifjalsdd | is there a way to change the resolution manually into non standard resolutions in inteprid? | 18:45 |
| Pici | neosuki: most likely /media/cdrom | 18:45 |
| albuntu | neosuki: /media/cdrom | 18:45 |
| hieu_ | and i was trying to install prozilla, and i did ./configure command, but it come up error " 702: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" what's htis mean? | 18:45 |
| Solver | tenang: seriously, it can say it better than we can on irc | 18:45 |
| neosuki | Radtoo: but I need to process those tracks using lame | 18:45 |
| simplexio | arcsighter: like i said easiest way is just move all "importand" files to newuser, check that all needed stuff is there and remove olduser | 18:45 |
| Scunizi | neosuki: probably /media/cdrom0 | 18:45 |
| Dre4m | im a little baffled why your telling me its the program lol, . . . if the basic default preview is dark and horrible on my webcam and every app i use in ubuntu then surly thats conclusive its the ubuntu driver . . . xp run its perfect in many apps too | 18:45 |
| neosuki | /media/cdrom0 doesn't show any files when i did ls | 18:45 |
| albuntu | neosuki: /media/cdrom | 18:45 |
| tenang | kk ty | 18:45 |
| JC_Denton_ | is there a command to set the dns server(s)? | 18:46 |
| arcsighter | simplexio: permissions, it will take a lot, sorry, not an option | 18:46 |
| nickrud | neosuki, audio cds don't really mount like an audio cd does | 18:46 |
| simplexio | arcsighter: not really.. in new user direntory just do 'chown newuser:newuser * -R | 18:46 |
| Radtoo | neosuki: Well, they're not files yet... cdparanoia can do the ripping, lame the encoding. Seriously tho, use a gui | 18:46 |
| neosuki | albuntu, Scunizi, Pici, both ls /media/cdrom /media/cdrom0 is showing nothing | 18:46 |
| nickrud | neosuki, erm, *like a data disk does | 18:46 |
| arcsighter | yes sure | 18:46 |
| arcsighter | but I wasn't talking about home dir here | 18:46 |
| Pici | neosuki: see Radtoo's comment | 18:47 |
| arcsighter | my entire harddrive a | 18:47 |
| Pici | !enter | arcsighter | 18:47 |
| ubottu | arcsighter: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 18:47 |
| simplexio | arcsighter: what you were talking ? | 18:47 |
| neosuki | Radtoo: if not thru gui, no means of doing that using cmd line? | 18:47 |
| arcsighter | simplexio: the entire hdd has established permissions | 18:47 |
| albuntu | neosuki: go to computer > cdrom and find the path and the files there | 18:47 |
| Scunizi | neosuki: that's because audio cd's are really files. rip them first if you want to see them. or look at them via rhythmbox | 18:47 |
| nickrud | neosuki, sound-juicer works nicely; if you want fine control, look at grip | 18:47 |
| Radtoo | neosuki: No... actually I just told you what the other program would be, but... | 18:47 |
| arcsighter | and also I don't wanna loose thunderbird-firefox-etc configuration files | 18:47 |
| arcsighter | I'll try to remove gnome configuration files | 18:47 |
| arcsighter | ok give 10 mins | 18:48 |
| Solver | JC_Denton_: your local dns servers are defined in /etc/resolv.conf | 18:48 |
| neosuki | Radtoo: Ubuntu has some default extractor of tracks. but if i wish to use lame encoder, how can i achieve? | 18:48 |
| tenang | so now anyone here know how to gain access to /root/usr/ from terminal because it's not letting me what am I doing wrong (cd /usr/) | 18:48 |
| Solver | tenang: do you have permission to enter the directory? | 18:48 |
| tenang | you do if you are using sudo su right? | 18:49 |
| JC_Denton_ | Solver: thanks | 18:49 |
| jpds | tenang: sudo -s | 18:49 |
| Radtoo | neosuki: Use abcde (thats an actual application) if you really need to get it done on the console... It does what you want. Yes. Lame as well. | 18:49 |
| Solver | exactly | 18:49 |
| Solver | tenang: that will give you a root shell and you can then cd into /root and under it | 18:49 |
| ebenton | hey there, anyone have any experience with libper-perl in 8.10? I just ran into a strange report when I performed an apt-get install that reported a "Broken package" | 18:49 |
| ebenton | that would be libpar-perl | 18:49 |
| tenang | god I love you | 18:50 |
| Solver | JC_Denton_: NP. DHCP normally sets them for you, if that is relevant | 18:50 |
| Dre4m | im gonna have to go bk to xp I can't believe it | 18:50 |
| neosuki | Radtoo: but for lame we need to provide the path of the track files, isn't it? | 18:50 |
| tenang | and what's the command to delete say a folder from shell? | 18:50 |
| kalpik | tenang, rm -r | 18:50 |
| Solver | rmdir to delete an empty directory | 18:50 |
| simplexio | tenang: rmdir for empty dir, rm -rf directory if there is stuff, use with care | 18:50 |
| Solver | tenang: be careful with rm -r or rm -rf. I mean it | 18:50 |
| JC_Denton_ | Solver: I was aware but the local dns server is unreliable | 18:51 |
| frankS2 | web browsing in ubuntu is extremely slow? common issue? | 18:51 |
| simplexio | tenang: rm -rf / for example deletes everything | 18:51 |
| Pici | !danger | simplexio | 18:51 |
| ubottu | simplexio: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 18:51 |
| Radtoo | neosuki: No. Lame works on files, not tracks. Synopsis: lame [options] <infile> <outfile> | 18:51 |
| Solver | JC_Denton_: ah :) dhcp will try to over-write them for you later. that can be stopped | 18:51 |
| JC_Denton_ | Solver dns host addresses are white space seperated? | 18:51 |
| mattias_ | i need lil help with Festival | 18:51 |

| 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 | 18:51 |
| Scunizi | neosuki: if you're trying to rip an audio cd use "ripperX" .. should be in the repo's. | 18:51 |
| frasc | !list | 18:52 |
| neosuki | Radtoo: so ur suggestion is to use cdparanoia for extracting the tracks then can encode using lame? | 18:52 |
| simplexio | tenang: like i said use with care -r means that it removes all stuff under that directory | 18:52 |
| ryker65 | should the cups, start/restart commands I've entered have an output or show cups running in system monitor, neither happened after password | 18:52 |

| mattias_ | in what folder do i have to place text files in to make festival read them with terminal command (tts "filename" nil) | 18:52 |
| hieu_ | need help installing prozilla, i do ./configure and come up with "702: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" | 18:52 |

| muzanaka | HI! | 18:52 |
| Pici | mattias_: The current directory. | 18:52 |
| tenang | ah I see | 18:52 |
| tenang | same as in dos speak | 18:53 |
| mattias_ | indeed | 18:53 |
| mattias_ | ill try that | 18:53 |
| Solver | harlemdavvey: that really seems like an error in the configure script | 18:53 |
| JC_Denton_ | Solver: how would you stop dhcp from modifying the file? | 18:53 |
| jpds | Pici, simplexio: http://pthree.org/2009/01/07/rm-rf/ | 18:53 |
| Solver | harlemdavvey: sorry, wrong person | 18:53 |
| Radtoo | neosuki: Thats not my suggestion, but an option. The suggestion is that you skip learning on how to operate this part-by-part and use some helper application like abcde (console) or k3b or sound-juicer that lets you focus on the important things. | 18:53 |
| Solver | hieu_: that really seems like an error in the configure script | 18:53 |
| Pici | jpds: Irregardless, its still not something we want to enourange. | 18:53 |
| hieu_ | faulty package? | 18:53 |
| mattias_ | wooo! | 18:53 |
| mattias_ | it works! | 18:53 |
| mattias_ | thanks | 18:53 |
| jpds | Pici: ;-) | 18:53 |
| Solver | JC_Denton_: if you are using dhclient which is likely you can edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and tell it not to update nameservers | 18:53 |
| Solver | JC_Denton_: there is a more drastic way :) | 18:53 |
| Solver | you can make the file immutable so not even root will alter it | 18:54 |

| JC_Denton_ | Solver: that sounds like just the solution, the former | 18:54 |
| harlemdavvey | i've used a program i setup a bios password yesterday but i don't know how it is named and i don't remember its name... can you help me find it?? | 18:54 |
| Solver | JC_Denton_: it is preferable | 18:54 |

| JC_Denton_ | if only for showing off :p | 18:56 |
| albuntu | jonathan_: what do you mean you cant download a torrent file ? | 18:56 |
| albuntu | jonathan_: you cant download the .torrent file or cant open one with a client ? | 18:56 |
| Solver | JC_Denton_: for sure. chattr/lsattr are hardly know but they are useful | 18:56 |

| harlemdavvey | is there any way to see what applications you installed yesterday?? | 18:57 |
| Solver | JC_Denton_: np. good luck :) | 18:57 |
| Solver | harlemdavvey: you could check /var/cache/apt for files with a write date of <24 hrs | 18:58 |
| Solver | harlemdavvey: unless you've cleaned it | 18:58 |
| harlemdavvey | solver: the problem is that i've cleaned it..:( | 18:58 |
| Solver | oh | 18:58 |
| Solver | harlemdavvey: maybe some advanced apt feature I don't know then sorry :) | 18:58 |
| Liantedan | Just installed Ubuntu on a software RAID5, but I keep getting a checkfs error nearly each time I boot | 18:59 |
| simplexio | harlemdavvey: or use find -mtime -1 -print to shoe files that are modified last day | 18:59 |
| albuntu | harlemdavvey: try aptitude search name | 18:59 |
| jonathan_ | albuntu: i cant download the .torrent file | 18:59 |
| simplexio | harlemdavvey: or use ctime which is for create time if i recall right | 18:59 |
| gfather | guys anyone can send me the boot log of ubuntu ? | 19:00 |
| albuntu | jonathan_: than i think its an isp problem. its not ubuntus. what does the browser says when you try to download one ? | 19:00 |
| _brujo | hi | 19:00 |
| jonathan_ | albuntu: it sometimes loads till a random % and just hangs and sometimes it just does not d/l at all | 19:01 |
| harlemdavvey | i don't know guys.. i have ubuntu tweak but i don't have the function to setup the bios password | 19:01 |
| harlemdavvey | and i'm sure there are not so many programs that accomplish this task | 19:01 |
| danes_ | I know this is not the appropriate channel to ask this, but I do not know where else to do it. Anyone knows of an emulator to check if a usb drive made bootable works without restarting the computer? | 19:02 |
| albuntu | jonathan_: i think that has to do with the file you are downloading or with your internet connection. it doesnt has to do with ubuntu at all | 19:02 |
| jonathan_ | albuntu: any direction you can point me towards? | 19:02 |
| tenang | so I've navigated to my themes dir in shell can anyone give me an example of how to use that -r command on a dir called example? | 19:02 |
| albuntu | jonathan_: try downloading another torrent file , from another place | 19:03 |
| jonathan_ | albuntu : i am sure it might be in my settings? | 19:03 |
| simplexio | danes_: not sure but qemu / virtualbox or vmware could help | 19:03 |
| tenang | might sound peculiar but I noticed my torrent files downloaded super slow on ubuntu when I used to dual boot | 19:04 |
| danes_ | simplexio, thanks, that was the one I was looking for, but I couldnt remember the name | 19:04 |
| quiksilver | im trying to install subversion | 19:04 |
| simplexio | danes_: i know for fact that virtualbox binary release allow using usb as "raw" device | 19:04 |
| frankS2 | web browsing in ubuntu is extremely slow? common issue? | 19:04 |
| quiksilver | when i type apt-get install subversion in the terminal i get an error and it asks me if im root | 19:04 |
| frankS2 | quicksilver_, add sudo before apt-get | 19:04 |
| albuntu | quiksilver: sudo before that | 19:04 |
| Slart | tenang: are you using the same torrent client | 19:05 |
| _brujo | quicksilver have you tried to execute "sudo apt-get instal subversion"? | 19:05 |
| tenang | no I wasn't and no im not dual booting anymore | 19:05 |
| albuntu | frankS2: mine is ok. maybe its a problem of your internet connection | 19:05 |
| tenang | I was using the standard client with ubuntu | 19:05 |
| Slart | tenang: perhaps you need to forward ports or similar so you can be in active mode? | 19:05 |
| ryker65 | possibly could someone tell me how to find the proper "device node" for the printer to manually find the device using the HP software, dmg | grep par outputs mention both "lp0: using paraport0" and "paraport_pc" but they are, associated with device url's. I'm not sure how to work with this and cannot connect to the web interface for cups | 19:06 |
| xjunior | I need to install the latest version of libmagick10, how do I do it without affect the rest of the system? | 19:06 |
| jonathan_ | albuntu: i always used to use piratebay and now it seems to be idle but i just tried another file using mininova and straight away worked. Any idea why? | 19:06 |
| simplexio | jonathan_: isp blocking tpb trackers ? | 19:07 |
| gfather | guys really , anyone can send me ubuntu boot log ? | 19:07 |
| jonathan_ | albuntu: any work around? | 19:07 |
| albuntu | jonathan_: than its a piratebay problem. i dont know | 19:07 |
| Liantedan | Just installed Ubuntu on a software RAID5, but I keep getting a checkfs error nearly each time I boot. Can someone give me some advise on fixing it ? This is the error log : http://baltakov.dyndns.org/noBots/ubuntu/checkfs.txt | 19:07 |
| simplexio | jonathan_: usually isp use dns blocking. so get tbp tracker ip addresees and add them to hosts is one solution | 19:08 |
| jonathan_ | albuntu: thanks for the info. | 19:08 |
| Slack_ | whats the best video player for linux | 19:08 |
| albuntu | jonathan_: np :) | 19:09 |
| bouteill | The one with gnome is decent. Otherwise you have vlc for linux | 19:09 |
| jonathan_ | simplexio: i 'll try that. Any idea how to find out the ip address of tpb tracker? | 19:09 |
| albuntu | Slack_: it really depends on what you like | 19:09 |
| Slack_ | albuntu: right now i just have movie player | 19:09 |
| earthian | :( | 19:09 |
| bouteill | Hi guys, I'm willing to upgrade Feisty. Looks like it became very complex since Gutsy is also outdated. | 19:09 |
| bouteill | Any hint ? | 19:09 |
| albuntu | Slack_: i like kaffeine even if i am using gnome | 19:09 |
| jrib | !upgrade | bouteill | 19:10 |
| ubottu | bouteill: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 19:10 |
| Slack_ | albuntu: does it stream .asx | 19:10 |
| bouteill | Does not work. Its all complaining about missing repositories (they've been removed as the target is also outdated). | 19:11 |
| grindking | what's best terminal app with clickable links | 19:11 |
| albuntu | Slack_: never heard of .asx | 19:11 |
| tenang | rm -rt don't work deleting a directory what does? | 19:11 |
| grindking | rm -rf | 19:11 |

| frankS2 | tenang, rmdir | 19:12 |
| kkkduifjalsdd | is it possible to edit x11org.conf in inteprid? | 19:13 |
| grindking | xorg.conf | 19:13 |
| temppy | bouteill: that link tells you how to upgrade your sources | 19:13 |
| bouteill | Simplexio: I can make a rsync, not an issue. Temppy: read this, does not work anymore (both feisty and gutsy are outdated. I get 404 everywhere) | 19:13 |
| jrib | kkkduifjalsdd: there's no such file, but you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Why do you want to though? | 19:13 |
| kkkduifjalsdd | yes i meant that ;) | 19:13 |
| grindking | you can edit it all you want | 19:13 |
| simplexio | kkkduifjalsdd: i think you mean xorg.conf, and answer is yes but you probably dont need to | 19:13 |
| temppy | bouteill: look at the link I posted, I sent it to you for that reason | 19:13 |
| === thebleh is now known as zkinion | ||
| jrib | bouteill: pastebin the errors you are getting after reading the links you have been given | 19:14 |
| kkkduifjalsdd | jrib: i need a non standard resolution for starting a game | 19:14 |
| simplexio | bouteill: then fastest and easiest way probably is just reinstall usinf latest livecd | 19:14 |
| jrib | kkkduifjalsdd: you can probably just use xrandr before starting the game | 19:14 |
| grindking | kkkduifjalsdd: are you using nvidia | 19:14 |
| bouteill | Temppy: I did it. It fixed the errors when updating to the latest feisty. | 19:14 |
| kkkduifjalsdd | jrib: how do i do that | 19:15 |
| bouteill | It does not fix the problem with missing gutsy parts | 19:15 |
| kkkduifjalsdd | grindking: no intel | 19:15 |
| grindking | oh nm | 19:15 |

| krazyfingerz47 | how can i fix my audio? i installed ubuntu soon and i get no audio | 19:15 |
| temppy | bouteill: did you try using the update manager? | 19:15 |
| jrib | kkkduifjalsdd: I don't the syntax offhand. wiki.ubuntu.com/X has some documentation on it I think (and its man page of course) | 19:15 |
| krazyfingerz47 | im full upgraded already | 19:16 |
| Pici | albuntu: gconftool is the cli tool for modifying gconf | 19:16 |
| simplexio | krazyfingerz47: check sound levels, and raise all of them to middle | 19:16 |
| ardchoille | bouteill: Feisty is no longer being updated, and I hope you aren't mixing Feisty and Gutsy packages | 19:16 |
| kkkduifjalsdd | jrib: thx | 19:16 |

| jrib | tenang: what are you trying to delete? | 19:17 |
| jrib | !kde4 | linduxed__ | 19:17 |
| ubottu | linduxed__: kde4 is KDE 4.1.3 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.3 | 4.2 Beta 2 packages http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-beta-2 | Support in #kubuntu | 19:17 |

| neosuki | krazyfingerz47: probably u can try changing the device and see | 19:17 |
| tom_eats_lives | !amap | 19:17 |

| sahil_ | install avidemux | 19:19 |
| jrib | tenang: how did it end up there? | 19:19 |
| krazyfingerz47 | neosuki: no whats that? | 19:19 |
| jrib | !who | tenang | 19:19 |
| ubottu | tenang: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 19:19 |
| tenang | I installed it lol | 19:19 |
| jrib | linduxed__: no | 19:19 |
| genii | linduxed__: I didn't make any attempt to answer your second question. | 19:19 |
| sahil_ | you have tried avidemux!! | 19:19 |
| tenang | !tab | 19:19 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 19:19 |
| linduxed__ | genii: thats why i hoped for a followup :-P | 19:19 |
| neosuki | krazyfingerz47: it's an audio library which is generic | 19:20 |
| tenang | !tab tenang | 19:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tab tenang | 19:20 |
| tenang | !tenang | 19:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tenang | 19:20 |

| mikebeecham | hi guys.this is a strange one...is there any software available in linux that cvan tell me what an encrypted password is? I want to take my details from my router to a wireless router, but it's so long ago that I dont know what the password is? | 19:21 |
| jrib | tenang: how did you install it? | 19:21 |
| krazyfingerz47 | neosuki: so what should i do | 19:21 |
| tenang | system.apperance theme manager I dragged it into it | 19:21 |
| grindking | mikebeecham: reset the router | 19:21 |
| Lostchild | I'm running Hardy with an nvidia card. I need help figuring out why it takes my display up to 5 minutes to wake up. All the logs I have check revealed no immediately obvious errors. | 19:22 |
| deany | just seen there is a google software repo.. anything good on it? | 19:22 |
| jrib | tenang: that wouldn't install it there | 19:22 |
| mikebeecham | grindking...not the password to the router, my login password for the internet connection | 19:22 |
| deany | deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free | 19:22 |
| grindking | call your isp? | 19:22 |
| icewaterman | how can i find hard links on a filesystem? | 19:22 |
| icewaterman | i am only interested in hardlinks in general, not hardlinks to a specific file | 19:23 |
| tenang | well it did in my case I don't know what to say all my other themes are there too | 19:23 |
| mikebeecham | grindking: so, you're not aware of anything, because I've actually thought of those things, but you're not answering my question!!! | 19:23 |
| tenang | to jrib | 19:23 |
| ehazlett | i have a script that uses parted to remove partitions and re-create them dynamically based on drive cylinder size. But I am getting different cylinder counts before and after the process? | 19:23 |
| jrib | tenang: are you running stuff with sudo or what? | 19:23 |
| joerack | hello | 19:23 |
| grindking | it makes no sense to try to crack an encrypted passwd to use the internet connection provided by your isp when you could simply have your password changed or reset or told to you if you would just call them | 19:24 |
| tenang | jrib running with sudo -s yep | 19:24 |
| sahil_ | no wvdial pre installed in server so how am i suppose to connect it to internet | 19:24 |
| jrib | tenang: don't do that.... that's BAD | 19:24 |

| sahil_ | joerack whats the problem | 19:24 |
| jrib | !offline | sahil_ | 19:24 |
| ubottu | sahil_: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ (now with Intrepid support) | 19:24 |
| Lostchild | Joecrack explain your problem please | 19:25 |
| pJok | is it bad when 8.10 64bit beeps at you when you try to boot by pressing F1 it after a fresh install? | 19:25 |

| joerack | oops sry | 19:25 |
| jrib | tenang: use 'gksudo nautilus' to delete that directory you were talking about. In the future, don't sudo stuff you shouldn't | 19:25 |
| pJok | and it keeps on beeping at me | 19:25 |
| pJok | every 30 seconds or so | 19:25 |
| tenang | jrib so how do I delete the dir? | 19:25 |

| Cpudan80 | xnox: run the xconfigure | 19:27 |
| jrib | pentaside: means you can't write to it I think | 19:27 |
| Lostchild | pentaside it means that file is locked to you. | 19:27 |
| pJok | anyone got any idea on how i continue? | 19:27 |
| neosuki | krazyfingerz47: use alsamixer or alsamixergui to configure ur settings | 19:27 |
| wall-e_ | iv tryed purg the system but its like the files are perment | 19:27 |
| Cpudan80 | xnox: sudo dpkg xserver-xorg | 19:27 |

| tenang | jrib kk ill use it from now on and ty it worked like a charm | 19:28 |
| Cpudan80 | xnox: sorry thats wrong | 19:28 |
| Lostchild | pentaside ie you don't have permissions to view or alter the file/directory. | 19:28 |
| Cpudan80 | xnox: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 19:28 |
| pentaside | Lostchild: Anyway to unlock that file? | 19:28 |

| amirman | anybody have any good recommendations for checking the health of an ntfs partition on my drive from ubuntu? i've read a little about SMART, how do i check the SMART info on my drive? | 19:28 |
| Lostchild | pentaside, you can change permissions with chmod or open a root nautilus window "sudo nautilus" | 19:28 |
| Cpudan80 | Lostchild: sudo nautilus is not a good idea | 19:29 |
| Lostchild | pentaside, obviously you should be careful | 19:29 |

| icegod | hola | 19:30 |
| pentaside | So that isn't what is preventing me from executing the file? | 19:30 |
| sahil_ | use wine | 19:30 |
| Baba_B00ie | barisha, you can't unless you use wine | 19:30 |
| jrib | barisha, pentaside: check appdb.winehq.org for their entry on photoshop | 19:30 |
| pJok | anyone? | 19:30 |
| hovis | Hey, what's a CLI command that will give me the details of a file/folder? (I'm trying to determine what the user:group is, I'm not sure if ls -l is giving me the group or the user) | 19:30 |
| pentaside | Barisha: Try Wine, that's what I'm doing right now. | 19:30 |
| barisha | i have used it | 19:30 |
| jrib | pentaside: how are you trying exactly? | 19:30 |
| urmel291 | !wine | barisha | 19:31 |
| ubottu | barisha: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help | 19:31 |
| sahil_ | what happened | 19:31 |
| Lostchild | pentaside, what command are you using to run the program | 19:31 |
| === bubble is now known as Kauwgom | ||
| Baba_B00ie | barisha, just install gimp.. it's open source and it's imho by far better | 19:31 |
| barisha | and i installed photoshop | 19:31 |
| jrib | hovis: ls -ld whatever user comes first | 19:31 |
| sahil_ | then | 19:31 |
| barisha | and then i get error | 19:31 |
| Flannel | hovis: ls -l should give you both first user then group | 19:31 |
| sergeykish | hello, I have a question about upstart | 19:31 |

| aleite | Hello guys... | 19:31 |
| methinx | Does anyone know of a place that I can get Envy to work for my Geforce FX 5500 in ubuntu, Im running Intrepid as we speak | 19:31 |
| icegod | what's the recommended procedure for changing the order of init scripts? is there something that manages it, or should i just do the symlink renaming dance? | 19:31 |
| aleite | Rhythmbox breaks my ipod library, is it happening with someone else? | 19:31 |
| barisha | photoshop cs 3 and cs 4 | 19:31 |
| barisha | i cant install | 19:31 |
| icegod | tangentially, why does networkmanager start after postfix? | 19:31 |
| icegod | (by default) | 19:31 |
| barisha | but cs2 i can install but it doesnt work | 19:32 |
| jrib | icegod: symlink renaming dance afaik | 19:32 |
| neosuki | krazyfingerz47: wot u've tried? | 19:32 |
| icegod | jrib: thx | 19:32 |
| hovis | jrib, Flannel: wierd... it's only one - I'll work on it, thanks. | 19:32 |
| pentaside | Barisha: You can also try using vmware and running windows inside of linux. then run photoshop in linux. Not as efficient as wine, but that's a work around if you give up on wine. | 19:32 |
| Lostchild | barisha, I would recommend using gimp. Photoshop and wine don't really get alone well. | 19:32 |
| jrib | hovis: paste what you see | 19:32 |
| sahil_ | then danu restricted codecs must be downloaded first | 19:32 |
| urmel291 | !upstart | icegod | 19:32 |
| ubottu | icegod: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 19:32 |
| deany | Photoshop 7 works fine with Wine. here. | 19:32 |
| Danu | Mr. sahil_ i have them! | 19:32 |

| deany | i dont know whats different in the new versions, but 7 does what i need it to do. | 19:33 |
| Cpudan80 | I wouldnt use VMWare | 19:33 |
| Cpudan80 | Use VirtualBox instead | 19:33 |
| Doonz | chmod 777 -r directory is the right structure for this command right? | 19:33 |
| xnox | Cpudan80: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. I've completed it but it is still out of frequency. BTW i'm running server kernel (i did apt-get install ubuntu-desktop), someone else was using it as a server before me. | 19:33 |
| albuntu | !gconftool | 19:33 |
| deany | well, try the newer one in the newer Wine.. 1.1.3 | 19:33 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gconftool | 19:33 |
| sahil_ | wait danu | 19:33 |
| Lostchild | Cpudan80 What's wrong with VMWare? | 19:33 |

| Cpudan80 | Lostchild: it would constantly tell me I didnt have rights to startup the VMs | 19:34 |

| quiksilver | how do i update python using the terminal on ubuntu? | 19:35 |
| hovis | jrib: lol, I'm on the wrong box, this one's debian. I'll ask them, thanks for your help. | 19:35 |
| sergeykish | jrib, created by myself | 19:35 |
| barisha | how do i install .deb file? | 19:35 |
| jrib | quiksilver: update-manager handles that for you | 19:35 |
| zleap | pJok, can you use a different keyboard | 19:35 |
| pJok | hrm | 19:35 |
| pJok | probably | 19:35 |
| quiksilver | how do i access that jrib? | 19:35 |
| jrib | barisha: what .deb file? Why are you not using the repositories? | 19:35 |
| pJok | going to see if i have another usb keyboard | 19:35 |
| zleap | Barbosa_, dpkg -i package name | 19:36 |
| zleap | or man dpkg | 19:36 |
| Cpudan80 | quicksilver_: sudo apt-get install python | 19:36 |
| zleap | first | 19:36 |
| jrib | sergeykish: you can send -9 with kill I guess | 19:36 |
| jedi06 | I'm in a virtual os | 19:36 |
| barisha | what are repositories? | 19:36 |
| Cpudan80 | quicksilver_: but as jrib said, the updatemanager will tell you if there are updates to the python packages | 19:36 |
| barisha | for virtual machine | 19:36 |
| jrib | quiksilver: it shows up in your system tray when you have updates if you are using GNOME | 19:36 |
| xnox | Cpudan80: it only asked for framebuffer and like 5 keyboard settings. nothing about monitor/video related | 19:36 |

| Wolter | i mean, for linux applications | 19:40 |
| icewaterman | Wolter: yes | 19:40 |
| zleap | pJok, not sure, when did the problem start | 19:40 |
| Wolter | jrib, icewaterman, why? what happens? | 19:40 |
| xnox | Cpudan80: it is install, cause I did login without seeing anything, and I've heard the login music. Apt is locked (maybe the update manager is running on the tty7). Shall I reboot and come back? | 19:40 |
| Doonz | jrib: isnt 777 for read write execute | 19:40 |
| jrib | Wolter: ntfs does not have unix permissions | 19:40 |
| Cpudan80 | xnox: oh ok - yeah do that | 19:40 |
| epictetus | ntfs has ACLs | 19:40 |
| Wolter | jrib, you mean, i cannot protect files? | 19:40 |
| pJok | zleap, well, i just installed it... 3 times to see if the installation was a problem, but it still keeps doing that after installing | 19:40 |

| jrib | Doonz: yes, but if you do that recursively, you'll be setting many files like pictures executable... | 19:40 |
| icewaterman | Wolter: it is both slow and not fully supported. as a result you do not have proper permissions support and only can use fuse (because kernel-side ntfs support is not safe for writing) | 19:41 |

| timedroid | I thought NTFS did have an option for unix permissions, but those aren't implemented in any driver for Linux | 19:41 |
| jrib | Wolter: no. I mean linux programs require the use of file permissions and ntfs does not use them. It's a bad idea. Stick with ext3 | 19:41 |
| jrib | !permissions > Wolter | 19:41 |
| ubottu | Wolter, please see my private message | 19:41 |

| sahil_ | but neodarwinian i need to preserve some documents | 19:59 |
| neodarwinian | now the prob is .. I am unable to use it .. coz only root has permissions (that is what I see in properties) | 19:59 |
| Cpudan80 | Yeah I know - my computer sucks | 19:59 |
| neodarwinian | oh fstab !!! Thanks urmel | 19:59 |
| xnox | Cpudan80: very similar | 20:00 |
| neodarwinian | sahil_, move them before you format.. | 20:00 |
| Cpudan80 | xnox: what does it say? | 20:00 |
| neodarwinian | have enough space, though? | 20:00 |
| xnox | Cpudan80: I've double checked EXACTLY what you have typed | 20:00 |
| sahil_ | i know that but its 80 gb and i don't have external hdd | 20:00 |
| Cpudan80 | xnox: you have the same exact gfx card? | 20:00 |
| xnox | Cpudan80: YES =D | 20:00 |

| xnox | Cpudan80: IBM Thinkpad T30 | 20:01 |
| Cpudan80 | oh ... | 20:01 |
| Cpudan80 | interesting... | 20:01 |
| Cpudan80 | hmm I never had any problems installing ubuntu | 20:01 |
| xnox | Cpudan80: but the screen on the laptop doesn't work. And I have to / am using external monitor | 20:01 |
| Cpudan80 | xnox: oh ... external monitors ... those give me problems | 20:02 |
| neodarwinian | Well, then delete, WINDOWS, Program Files, and all those folders you do not need anymore :P I know it is not right.. but just to keep it simpler :) | 20:02 |
| sahil_ | anyway neo if we format windows partition with ext3, will ubuntu take that automaticly, & where and how will it place in the file structure | 20:02 |
| xnox | Cpudan80: and I do remember it working of the livecd with the external monitor | 20:02 |
| xnox | Cpudan80: it was hardy though | 20:02 |
| neodarwinian | the file structure.. is still the same.. as in if it is /media/disk-1 it is still the same.. | 20:02 |

| neodarwinian | I'm not sure what he meant by file structure.. | 20:03 |

| sahil_ | linux file structure | 20:04 |
| sahil_ | niway, so now you could access that disk as a root only | 20:05 |
| Cpudan80 | xnox: http://pastebin.ca/1310304 | 20:05 |
| neodarwinian | well take a look at GParted.. how it relates your mountpoint and /sda/xxx etc.. | 20:05 |
| neodarwinian | you will then get the idea.. | 20:05 |

| neodarwinian | nite_johnboy: You can ACTUALL install Ubuntu without doing a partition using VM (Virtual boxes). But thats a whole altogether different animal. If you are planning to use a VM, it will let you create a self-growing Virtual Hard-disk file.. That becomes your primary partition/volume. | 20:21 |

| dayo_ | nite_johnboy: u're welcome | 20:22 |
| burkmat | Attempting to contact someone logged in on a computer I'm SSH'd into without using audio, any ideas how I could write to the gnome session? | 20:22 |
| jedi06 | I'm asking what do after i turn it off and download the iso | 20:22 |
| ASULutzy | burkmat: just touch files on their Desktop :P | 20:23 |
| sadistcynic | burkmat, what kind of message do you want to send? | 20:23 |
| ardchoille | burkmat: I found something that might interest you; man write | 20:23 |
| burkmat | ASULutzy, I'm afraid I need some sort of more direct way of communicating... Even though that will eventually wake 'em up. :P | 20:23 |
| Bokenrosie | Is there a "task manager" equivalent in Linux? I have Ekiga session that seems to have crashed and will not close. | 20:23 |
| sahil_ | yes | 20:23 |
| ASULutzy | burkmat: sudo touch /home/theirUser/HAI2U ;) but also write might work | 20:23 |
| Melik | how do i restart X server? | 20:23 |
| sahil_ | do ctrl + esc | 20:23 |
| burkmat | ardchoille, Yeah, tried using that but I can't write to a gnome session with it cause even root gets permission denied on tty7 =/ | 20:23 |
| dios_mio | melik, ctrl + alt + backspace | 20:23 |
| ardchoille | burkmat: ok | 20:24 |
| pike_ | Bokenrosie: pkill <name> or xkill will give you a nice killer cursor to click with | 20:24 |
| ASULutzy | burkmat: Too bad you said no sound... Doing sudo cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp would DEFINITELY get their attention | 20:24 |
| pike_ | Bokenrosie: but yes there is a task manager gui under system options i think | 20:24 |
| sahil_ | Bokenrosie:do ctrl + esc | 20:24 |
| dayo_ | Bokenrosie: try top | 20:24 |
| burkmat | ASULutzy, hehe, used that one earlier today... :P highly efficient. | 20:24 |
| sahil_ | it will bring a task manager equ | 20:24 |
| Bokenrosie | trying ctrl + esc but not seeming to work. | 20:24 |
| nite_johnboy | neodarwinian; Yea - looked at this possibility as well - this is proprietary HP box that so far is not looking like is going to be friendly with linux running on it anyway. | 20:24 |
| sahil_ | u r using kde right | 20:25 |
| burkmat | Hmm, new approach: How do I enable VNC through the CLI? :D | 20:25 |
| sahil_ | sorry, it was meant for kde | 20:25 |
| wolter | does gksu use the libpam authorization method? | 20:25 |
| pike_ | Bokenrosie: ps -A | grep -i ekiga | awk "{print $ 1}" | xargs -i kill -9 {} ;-p | 20:25 |
| sahil_ | it works in kde only | 20:25 |
| wolter | i want to use my finger whenever i get asked for my password | 20:25 |
| sadistcynic | wolter, what kind of computer | 20:26 |
| sahil_ | Bokenrosie go to the panel of gnome | 20:26 |
| wolter | sadistcynic, dell xps m1530 (upex touchstrip) | 20:26 |
| sahil_ | right click and select add to panel then add force quit | 20:27 |
| sahil_ | it will help!! | 20:27 |
| wolter | sadistcynic, it now works, i have also learned how to swipe my finger, but gksu asks for my standard password, but not for a fingerprint | 20:27 |
| sadistcynic | wolter, i recently failed at getting the scanner on my lenovo 3000 v200 | 20:27 |
| sadistcynic | wolter, look at thinkfinger | 20:27 |
| wolter | sadistcynic, ah yes, i have it configure with that tool... but no, mine does work | 20:28 |
| nite_johnboy | DasEI; Thanks for idea - thought about that already - This fellow is already paying me for a hours & hours of spyware removal - I think this whole thing would be an uphill battle - will recommend he get a custom built Clone for about $350 US that would be more compatible. | 20:28 |

| sadistcynic | wolter, remember i failed | 20:29 |
| Bokenrosie | ctr-alt-back cured the problem alright | 20:29 |
| agx | is there a package who help handling a system configure this way: /usr on compact flash read only; /etc and /var on harddisk; automatically handling if the harddisk is broken and use RAM instead (perhaps backup of /etc/ stored on compact flash) ??? :))))) | 20:29 |

| zleap | you can get pass the interface directly to dhclient | 20:35 |

| nite_johnboy | DasEI; Looks like the second link will be best - also I will tell him he will only get so much life out of USB thumb and will eventually die - by that time I'm sure he will have a nice little IBM clone that would be a piece of cake to setup linux on - will of course recommend a Nvidia video card - thanks again. | 20:36 |
| pike_ | profXavier: ah no im on 32 bit xp and then server 2003 | 20:36 |
| guntbert | wolter: I just stepped in, I have thinkfinger working on my IBM T60 (with PAM) | 20:36 |
| TriBeCa99 | bazhang: yes. it gave up as it received no DHCP offers | 20:36 |
| wolter | meistergrado, that is the default way for ubuntu, therefore, that one that is guaranteed to work, in fact, that's how i installed it in my 64bit 8.10 system | 20:36 |
| TriBeCa99 | bazhang: it was trying 255.255.255.255 which i'm ont sure is correct | 20:36 |

| profXavier | pike_ i have tried to install both 32bit and 64 bit Ubuntu, neither had a success | 20:36 |
| Radtoo | ryker65: reinstalling is probably not the solution, and no idea what "some trouble" is. | 20:36 |
| guntbert | wolter: shoot | 20:36 |
| bazhang | TriBeCa99, this is connected to a router or directly to the adsl modem | 20:36 |
| meistergrado | wolter: so just go into synaptic and search for flash-plugin-nonfree? | 20:36 |
| profXavier | maybe ill need to install VMware inside my VMware :D | 20:37 |
| wolter | guntbert, can you use your finger in every occasion that you get asked for a password? | 20:37 |
| TriBeCa99 | bazhang: router | 20:37 |
| wolter | meistergrado, i am not sure thats the exact name, but look for flash plugin, or flash plugin nonfree | 20:37 |
| pike_ | Cedara: ext3 supports partitions so you dont need to edit mount settings just use chmod and/or chown | 20:37 |
| profXavier | pike_ do you create customized partitioning ? | 20:37 |
| pike_ | Cedara: er partitions/permissions | 20:37 |
| gaza | hi | 20:37 |
| doc|home | anyone had any luck getting the mic working on a dell xps m1330? | 20:37 |
| Cedara | pike_ : they were root and I couldn't copy anything in nautilus to that | 20:38 |
| guntbert | wolter: mostly, only screensaver makes trouble, and when returning from sleep (but thats the screensaver too) | 20:38 |
| pike_ | profXavier: it could be some userland prob in 32bit under 64bit windows dunno | 20:38 |
| wolter | doc|home, not on a 1330, but on a 1530 =D | 20:38 |
| doc|home | wolter: probably much the same. how did you do it? | 20:38 |
| Radtoo | doc|home: if the sound is working otherwise a) its just muted b) the driver didn't support it yet and you might need (to wait for?) a newer kernel | 20:38 |
| wolter | doc|home, hold a sec. and yes, pretty much the same. | 20:38 |
| profXavier | pike_: any custom partitioning though? swap space ? | 20:38 |
| tc111 | profXavier: have you check to make sure the discs are good or are you mounting the ISOs? | 20:38 |

| CaneToad | I find that copying files from DVD to hard drive with nautilus in Ubuntu 8.10 consistently uses 90% CPU. That seems weird. Copying files isn't CPU intensive, but I/O intensive. | 20:48 |

| guntbert | wolter: if I remember correctly it worked until several weeks ago, I'm not too concerned though :) | 20:49 |

| dr_willis | bogey, its very likely a bios limitation then. or some way the bios is handling the video memory | 21:16 |
| crackintosh_ | nightrid3r: thanks | 21:16 |
| tritium | Xae8koo: so, I suggest you apologize to CaptainMorgan for the outlandish accusations. | 21:16 |
| captainm | apocolyps1: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add "vga=0x31A" (without the quotes) to the end of the entry you boot with | 21:16 |
| bogey | dr_willis: video memory is that 512MB reserved | 21:16 |
| bogey | dr_willis: but still missing 460MB | 21:16 |
| Xae8koo | tritium: I am on his ignore list. So I can't. | 21:16 |
| CaptainMorgan | tritium, probably no use as he's already attacked my privately- but I appreciate your concern | 21:16 |

| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||
| dr_willis | bogey, yes. and the question is a little vague on the details. all i can say is that in addatiion to the memory used by the video card taken from your 4gb. some of it is also getting reserved/used by other hardware | 21:18 |
| apocolyps1 | captainm: cheers have been trying different vga= numbers.... but dont think tried that one yet. | 21:19 |
| jedi06 | well I'm going to try anyway i downloaded the ubuntu recovery remix and booted from the image | 21:19 |
| DasEI | jedi06: you would have to take a trip to forensic, no real chance, sorry | 21:19 |
| jedi06 | i'm sitting at ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 21:19 |
| wolter | guntbert, well, every login, well, like the last 3 logins, i got asked for a password to connect to the network, and i didn't like that for it was not necessary, and i recalled that it was someting i did myself, when i chose to allow only once the automatic connection | 21:19 |
| captainm | apocolyps1: here's a handy table http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258484&highlight=grub+resolution | 21:19 |
| dr_willis | bogey, there are some Hardware web sites/info sites that go in to all sorts of detauls on the whole '4gb of ram but some is missing' issue. and from what ive read on the VERY long threads there . basicially 'it depends on the exact hardware' | 21:19 |
| jedi06 | they were text files so it might be easier | 21:19 |
| wolter | guntbert, wasn't that your problem also? | 21:19 |
| goexplode | bogey: from what I recall, memory also gets reserved if you have extra cards install in your system (ie PCI) | 21:20 |
| fumanchu182 | is there a way to import system users into samba, i see that it did it when the package was installed but since then i have added more users and don't want to have to type them in manually with smbpass | 21:20 |
| guntbert | wolter: I understand your reason :) what I'm asking now is a bit more detail on your last steps to fix it | 21:20 |
| DasEI | fumanchu182: smbconf | 21:20 |
| === tyfoo2 is now known as tyfoo | ||
| wolter | guntbert, oh ok | 21:20 |
| bogey | dr_willis, goexplode: but should it be shown as reserved in memory map? | 21:21 |
| wolter | guntbert, go to system > administration > authorizations | 21:21 |
| bogey | if it's used by pci | 21:21 |
| guntbert | wolter: ok, IÄm there | 21:21 |
| fumanchu182 | DasEl yeah i had one of those files before but that would mean i still have to add them with smbpass or is that not needed if their passwords should be authenticated against the system? | 21:21 |
| bogey | http://pasthis.com/zb59d3d | 21:21 |
| wolter | guntbert, now look for network-manager | 21:21 |
| dr_willis | bogey, no idea. I never explored it in that much depth. | 21:21 |
| wolter | guntbert, or something similar | 21:21 |
| wolter | guntbert, network-manager-settings | 21:22 |
| bogey | there is a hole between 00000000e2000000 - 00000000fec00000 | 21:22 |
| Slack_ | anyone here use the embeded desktop terminal | 21:22 |
| bogey | not mapped anywhere | 21:22 |
| goexplode | bogey: i believe that is where the bios remapping comes in, although i may be wrong | 21:22 |
| guntbert | wolter: ok | 21:22 |
| bogey | exactly 460MB | 21:22 |
| DasEI | fumanchu182: if the users already exist as you described, samba will use their authenification | 21:22 |

| wolter | guntbert, are you adding the grant now? | 21:23 |
| HiDeo | hello | 21:23 |
| The_Rebel | is Ubuntu being marketed as "an alternative to windows"? | 21:23 |
| Flannel | The_Rebel: You're probably better off asking in #ubuntu-marketing or #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:23 |
| dr_willis | every os is an alternative to windows.. :) | 21:23 |
| guntbert | wolter: and here I set "myself" as beneficiary? | 21:23 |
| DasEI | bogey: question for ##windows | 21:24 |
| goexplode | bogey: from my experience, Vista used to show the amount of installed memory minus anything that was reserved for VGA etc, but microsoft put out an update at some time that changed it so that it would show the true amount of memory installed, regardless of what is reserved | 21:24 |
| The_Rebel | yeah but is it being makreted as so | 21:24 |
| Chousuke | The_Rebel: Obviously it is an alternative to Windows. | 21:24 |
| tritium | The_Rebel: ubuntu stands on its own merits, without comparison to Windows at all. | 21:24 |
| bogey | goexplode: yes that I was thinking | 21:24 |
| c369 | Im trying to setup an ethernet connection between to pcs using a crossover cable, when pinging from A to B nothing happens at all, it just waits, when pinging from B to A I get 'Destination Host Unreachable', my configuration looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105696/ - ideas anyone? <-- please? ;) | 21:24 |
| wolter | guntbert, correct, the next thing you will do is add the "must be in active ...." constraint, or just press Alt+A | 21:24 |
| The_Rebel | that's not what i asked Chousuke | 21:24 |
| DasEI | TriBeCa99:figured it out ? | 21:24 |
| bazhang | The_Rebel, its offtopic here | 21:24 |
| wolter | guntbert, no, forget that, chose the alt+i | 21:24 |
| wolter | guntbert, the one that does not require console | 21:25 |
| The_Rebel | i think tritium got it right :) | 21:25 |
| bogey | goexplode: so the gigabytes answer is that 3.5GB is shown on vista, but it includes the graphics reserved memory | 21:25 |
| bogey | so basically same what in linux | 21:25 |
| guntbert | wolter: ok, got it (active session) but won't relog for some time, thanx for sharing :) | 21:25 |
| wolter | guntbert, no problem, i warranty that it works. | 21:26 |

| guntbert | wolter: fine - now we have two (better) working systems :) | 21:27 |
| goexplode | bogey: for vista it will depend on whether you're using 32 or 54 | 21:27 |
| goexplode | bogey: 64* | 21:27 |
| dr_willis | a514, im not sure you can. Since Wubi sort of isntlls inside a 'file' on the windows drive.. not on a drive. | 21:27 |

| a514 | Thanks DasEl for the info | 21:28 |
| goexplode | bogey: but in any case, any extra cards installed are going to cause there to be some holes in the memory | 21:28 |

| Liantedan | alexb2283: http://baltakov.dyndns.org/noBots/linux/fstab.txt | 22:00 |
| user___ | ryker65: i'd say no | 22:00 |
| dr_willis | wolter, 100% WRONG... smb:// is the GNOME file managers 'browsing the network' feature. it has NOTHING todo with mounting the shares. the big 'term' here is 'browse vs mount' | 22:00 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: yeah, that's what i thought, it can't find your /boot partition | 22:00 |
| Slart | Liantedan: oh.. you've got a raid volume | 22:00 |
| ryker65 | ty | 22:00 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: is /dev/md6 there at the time ? | 22:00 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: I'm on it right now, so it does boot... | 22:01 |
| wolter | dr_willis, well, dont obfuscate yourself.. | 22:01 |
| Liantedan | Slart: Yes, my /boot is in RAID1, /root, /home and swap are in RAID5 ( softwareRAID all ) | 22:01 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: grub finding the partition and the booted kernel finding it are two different things - it might be gone by the time you get to the shell | 22:01 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: for whatever reason | 22:01 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: what does file /dev/md6 say ? | 22:01 |
| dr_willis | wolter, you are confusing the gnome 'features' with the way the OS can also handle things. Browseing the network/shares is not the same as 'mounting' the shares. they are 2 different ways to sort of do the same thing | 22:01 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: Oh, how do I check that ? | 22:01 |
| Hagg1 | tc111: what is "kleensweep"? any url or other description? | 22:02 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: /dev/md6: block special | 22:02 |
| Slart | Liantedan: you might want to check if the raid stuff is being loaded *before* it's supposed to be used.. that might be the problem here | 22:02 |
| robtp | dr_willis: could you advise me how to allow usersto browse samba shares? | 22:02 |

| genii | wolter: syntax is like: sudo mount -t smbf //place/share /mountpoint | 22:03 |
| alexb2283 | detrate: it says amd64 but is for intel cpus as well | 22:03 |
| sumixam | detrate: it will run on all 64-bit systems | 22:03 |
| detrate | thanks | 22:03 |
| dr_willis | wolter, the samba-doc package has books on the topic and admining samba via the command line - i strongly suggest reading them. You learn a lot.. and yes they are a bit overkill/large.. but its the defacto info on the topic. i would guess offhand you need the 'user' option in the fstab | 22:03 |

| alexb2283 | Liantedan: i did a quick google on your situation and found a few hits: http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=boot+raid5+ubuntu&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/raid-5-soft-os-drive-no-boot-553920/ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616497 | 22:08 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: My boot partition is RAID1 | 22:08 |
| `krstnsn | whats the directory that applications are in? | 22:08 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: try these | 22:08 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: Ok, thank you | 22:08 |
| CarlFK1 | oCean_: right. thanks | 22:08 |
| Gerinych | sound's fuzzy on mp3's, how do i fix it? | 22:08 |
| Slart | `krstnsn: they are all over the place.. it's not like windows | 22:09 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: nope, your mdstat says otherwise. it detects it as raid 5: md6 : active raid5 | 22:09 |
| robtp | `krstnsn: many, /usr/bin, etc... | 22:09 |
| ksnake | I have seen many articles dor software raid 5 | 22:09 |
| ksnake | though who would really want it | 22:09 |
| `krstnsn | so hypothetically if i downloaded a file in firefox and wanted a specific application to open it.. where would i look | 22:09 |
| `krstnsn | ive seen a folder with tons of application icons | 22:09 |
| Rohan_SM | yes but only permit the KDEones I currently use. however I'm unsure which of them are KDE and Which of em are Gnome | 22:09 |
| Slart | ksnake: for some kind of security against hardware failure.. although some people argue that raid-5 is useless for that too | 22:09 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: no, my boot partition is md7, and doesn't even show | 22:09 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: I have 4 partitions. /boot is RAID1, /root, /home and swap are RAID5 | 22:10 |
| Slart | `krstnsn: /bin or /usr/bin is where most binaries(executables) are located | 22:10 |
| Necrosan | How do I clean my ubuntu? | 22:10 |
| `krstnsn | thanks | 22:10 |
| `krstnsn | clean? | 22:10 |
| silentContender | Sorry to interrupt, but can someone help me get internet. Using a Trendnet USB Adapter (have connection, but no internet) | 22:10 |
| Necrosan | I'm the Cadillac kid | 22:10 |
| Necrosan | I'd like to clean my Ubuntu. | 22:10 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: oh crap, i misread your fstab, md6 is /home and md6 is /boot. sorry | 22:10 |
| Slart | Necrosan: explain what you mean by 'dirty' then | 22:10 |
| ksnake | silentContender, I had issues with this | 22:11 |
| ksnake | it wireless connection? | 22:11 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: makes it even weirder | 22:11 |
| Necrosan | Slart: the install is filthy | 22:11 |
| crashflow | and what you mean by "cadillac kid" | 22:11 |
| silentContender | Yes, It uses RTL8187B chipset. | 22:11 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: why would it find the r5 but not the r1 | 22:11 |
| Necrosan | I installed it | 22:11 |
| oCean_ | robtp: See here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba for samba doc, think you may find right config there... | 22:11 |
| Necrosan | And it got so slow X would not start | 22:11 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: No problem. I'm glad you are even bothering to try to help me =) | 22:11 |
| ksnake | silentContender, try it with NO security at all and see if it connects | 22:11 |
| Necrosan | now my GDM is down the tubes | 22:11 |
| sumixam | I'm having another sort of internet connection issue.. does anyone at all use NetworkManager? | 22:11 |
| ksnake | silentContender, just to check it | 22:12 |
| robtp | oCean_: followed that earlier, no help | 22:12 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: what devices are involved in the raid1 ? sda/sdb ? (i've only seen raid configs till now, but no physical devs) | 22:12 |
| Slart | Necrosan: look.. I'm not really in the mood to play 20 questions with you.. sorry | 22:12 |
| oCean_ | robtp: ah, ok. Your user can't browse the share at all? Only root can? | 22:12 |
| silentContender | No security does not work. My lsmod list rtl8187 and I think my wireless driver is rtl8187b (model # tew-424ub) | 22:12 |
| alexb2283 | btw... i'll ask again - is anyone familiar with consolekit and dbus? | 22:12 |
| ksnake | hmmm | 22:12 |
| filthpig | Necrosan: ask your entire problem/question in one line. That makes it a lot easier for all of us to help you. | 22:13 |
| ksnake | silentContender, let me go check my settings on my main rig, on my old PII 300 now | 22:13 |
| Necrosan | Slart: I'm serious, dude. | 22:13 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: I have 4 hdds. Each partitioned in 4. The first slice I put in RAID1 for /boot. The other three slices are RAID5 for /root, /home and swap. I've noted their names down while I was partitioning them, though | 22:13 |
| silentContender | Okay | 22:13 |
| Necrosan | basically I net installed 8.08/sparc64 | 22:13 |
| Necrosan | The install was horrible, very very bugged | 22:13 |
| robtp | oCean_: exactly | 22:13 |
| Slart | Necrosan: I'm serious tome too.. explain in one message what the problem is | 22:14 |
| Stargazer | Instead of using "System › Administration › Users & Groups" how can i get to Users & Groups through the command line ? | 22:14 |
| Necrosan | Got it to boot once, installed ubuntu-desktop and then rebooted | 22:14 |
| Slart | Necrosan: I'm serious too.. explain in one message what the problem is | 22:14 |
| Necrosan | System won't boot at all | 22:14 |
| Necrosan | can you help me, Slart? | 22:14 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: SCSI1 ( first hdd ) is partioned into sda1 ( boot ), sda2 ( root ), sda6 ( home ) and sda5 ( swap ). The other hdd's are partitioned into sdb#, sdc# and sdd# respectively | 22:15 |
| filthpig | Necrosan: what part of "ONE LINE" don't you understand? With all the activity here it's very confusing and annoying to try to follow you when you use enter as punctuation | 22:15 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: i might not be able to make much of it, but anyone else you ask will want to see them as well, so could you post /etc/mdadm.conf and fdisk -l ? | 22:15 |
| Necrosan | filthpig: Can't you just temporarily ignore everyone but me? | 22:15 |
| user___ | Stargazer: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Managing_Ubuntu_Linux_Users_and_Groups | 22:15 |
| Necrosan | This is a problem that takes prcedence.. | 22:15 |
| alexb2283 | brb | 22:15 |
| Slart | Necrosan: an example of a problem might be, "my computer takes a long time booting. It's a standard install of Ubuntu 8.04, 32bit. I've installed some extra programs but nothing that starts when I login. It isn't slow when it's started except for some webpages in firefox" | 22:15 |
| krazyfingerz47 | I cant get sound, i've tried some ways and i cant get it working, someone helps? | 22:16 |
| atlef | !patience | Necrosan | 22:16 |
| ubottu | Necrosan: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 22:16 |

| w3rd_ | hey guys is there a way to modify the buffer in a terminal? how? | 22:16 |
| Necrosan | filthpig: How can you say that seriously? | 22:16 |
| Necrosan | I have no system as it is.. | 22:16 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: oh i forgot, i believe there's a new raid config file that supersedes mdadm.conf. i think it was mdtab or something like that. it's in /etc/ as well. | 22:16 |
| L-argiplex | With the latest updates Nautilus works a bit more. Now, the first thing it will need is list the samba computers. Why doesnt this work ? | 22:16 |
| alexb2283 | brb for real now | 22:16 |
| Slart | Necrosan: try doing something like that and your chances of getting an answer increases a lot | 22:17 |
| robtp | oCean_: any ideas? | 22:17 |
| oCean_ | robtp: well, while mounting the share you should use the "dir_mode=" option to the mount command | 22:17 |
| silentContender | Does anyone else know why a wireless USB has a connection but no internet? | 22:17 |
| jedi06 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Extract%20individual%20files%20from%20recovered%20image can someone please help me with this? | 22:17 |
| stormblue | silent, can you ping your router? | 22:17 |
| jedi06 | i'm using vbox as well making it more tricky and 8.10 ubunut | 22:17 |
| silentContender | It give destination host unreachable | 22:18 |
| MatBoy | when I made a clone of a vm, my nic can't start, can I replace the mac address automaticly or do I always need to do it manually ? | 22:18 |
| Slart | silentContender: what kind of usb connection thingy is it? wireless? external network card? something else? | 22:18 |
| oCean_ | robtp: and maybe even the file_mode= .. this is not the same as umask, but like unix filepermissions (e.g. 744 = rwxr--r--) | 22:18 |
| silentContender | Trendnet USB wireless USB ieee802.11b/g (model no. TEW-424UB) | 22:18 |
| Slart | MatBoy: you need to specify what application you're using for that vm.. | 22:18 |
| stormblue | silentContender: are you authenticated to the wifi? | 22:19 |
| filthpig | Necrosan: If you would kindly state all your previous actions, choices and results, along with current status in ONE LINE/POST, it will be better for us to help you. We're not glued to this channel and we do have lives outside the computer, so if your problem really is that important to you, please do as I say, because that will increase you chance of a good, helping answer a LOT | 22:19 |
| Necrosan | Currently I have OpenBSD 4.4/sparc64 on my Sun Ultra 60; I would like to install Ubuntu on it, but have no cd burner. I tried writing a bootable install image to a spare hard disk, booting it, and installing. It failed 3 times trying to install, finally got it on, then did apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. It downloads, finishes. I reboot, ubuntu won't boot. | 22:19 |
| Necrosan | I'm basically just looking to reinstall. | 22:19 |
| jedi06 | sudo foremost -i /dev/hda -o /recovery/foremost I don't have a /dev/hda | 22:19 |
| hellhound_ | i cannot figure out why I flash player for youtube or the like goes very slow in full screen (except audio goes normal) and to exit out of full screen it takes almost 30 seconds | 22:19 |
| silentContender | stormblue: test currently with a open network | 22:19 |
| Necrosan | Wondering if I can dd the alt install cd to a hard disk and boot it? | 22:19 |
| MatBoy | Slart: nope I don't because itś in ubuntu, in the z24_persisten-net.rules | 22:19 |

| Liantedan | alexb2283: I cannot find mdtab, but the other things are here : http://baltakov.dyndns.org/noBots/linux/ | 22:20 |
| alexb2283 | MatBoy: you need to edit the 70-persistent-net rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ | 22:20 |
| MatBoy | I need to change the mac address there manually, but I wondered if I can do it by a script or so ? | 22:20 |
| stormblue | It sounds like a networking issues, silentContender. | 22:20 |
| alexb2283 | back now. | 22:20 |
| Slack_ | is their a sudo apt-get for compizconfig | 22:20 |
| MatBoy | oh, indeed, the 70 | 22:20 |
| jedi06 | Can I please pm someone to help me recover some data? | 22:20 |
| alexb2283 | MatBoy: should be self-explaining | 22:20 |
| MatBoy | alexb2283: is there a decent way to do it automaticly ? | 22:20 |
| stormblue | Could be your drivers....You wouldn't happen to be using a dell 1501 ? | 22:20 |
| Slart | Necrosan: I think I've talked to people that have created usb installs that way... don't think I've seen one do it to a hard drive.. but type !usb to see what you have to do to a usb stick.. perhaps the same applies to a hard drive | 22:20 |
| user___ | jedi06: pastebin the output of "mount" and we can help you further | 22:20 |
| stormblue | Silent, do you just want a USB boot disk? | 22:20 |
| jedi06 | ok user__ it will have to be a screenshot | 22:21 |
| jedi06 | hang on | 22:21 |
| alexb2283 | MatBoy: none that i know of :/ | 22:21 |
| silentContender | stormblue: I am on the same network on my laptop (I using it now). It's my desktop that's using the usb | 22:21 |
| Slart | MatBoy: if you clone it in using the vm tools you might be able to change the mac address from there.. it is part of the hardware that the vm "emulates".. | 22:21 |
| stormblue | Hmmm, have you tried using the device on your laptop? What OS is your laptop. | 22:21 |
| silentContender | stormblue: the driver module load is rtl8187, but I think my chipset is rtl8187b | 22:21 |
| sWitch | any one tryed windows 7 ? | 22:21 |
| Necrosan | !usb | 22:22 |

| alexb2283 | Liantedan: fdisk -l is screwed. what's the device under the disks ? onboard controller? what model? | 22:22 |
| jedi06 | user__ anything else you want before i take the screenshot? | 22:22 |
| Stargazer | Hey guys, what's the command to logout in the terminal ? | 22:22 |
| stormblue | That's probably your issue. | 22:22 |
| filthpig | Necrosan: what system are you on right now? A nice app called unetbootin will download and extract ubuntu (or any other Linux OS) on a usb stick for you. I think that's the way to go when you don't have a cdrom. I'm actually using unetbootin right now | 22:22 |
| stormblue | 8187, 8187b, and 8187l are all different. | 22:22 |
| Slart | silentContender: sorry.. got sidetracked.. when you connect the usb thing.. do you get any extra network interfaces? does your install recognize that it is a network device? | 22:22 |
| silentContender | stormblue: how would I load the rtl8187b driver instead of rtl8187 | 22:23 |
| user___ | jedi06: are you running from livecd? | 22:23 |
| Slart | Stargazer: exit usually quits the active terminal.. you've tried logout, right? | 22:23 |
| silentContender | slart: the usb wireless is recognized | 22:23 |
| stormblue | I'll second filthpig, unetbootin, is awesome, Necrosan | 22:23 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: fdisk -l just lists the 4 physical hdd's I have. I don't see any other thing there ? | 22:23 |
| Necrosan | filthpig: OSX 10.5 | 22:23 |
| Stargazer | Slart, i'll try that now, thanks. | 22:23 |
| jedi06 | user__ yes it is that ubuntu_recovery_remix | 22:24 |
| Necrosan | !unetboot | 22:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about unetboot | 22:24 |
| MatBoy | Slart: yep, but the mac it seen in dmesg, so thatś why I thought... maybe I can automaticly replace it | 22:24 |
| L-argiplex | I see two huge problems: 1: Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora/all others using xorg get openchrome driver choosen by xrog server by default and hence if using "VIA chrome Pro Rev 1 svga card" the users must enter "text" on the gub commandline to even be able to install the dists. When they have made a text install (Joe_Beer will not do this) they will have to run: "xorg --configure" so that an xorg.conf file is written to /root/xorg.conf.new and then edit this fi | 22:24 |
| L-argiplex | le and change the driver line from Driver "chrome" to "vesa" and then switch runlevel to 5 in /etc/inittab (This must be fixed ASAP! Peoples!) | 22:24 |
| Slart | Stargazer: also check the man page for shutdown.. perhaps there is a switch to make it logout instead | 22:24 |
| filthpig | !unetbootin | 22:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about unetbootin | 22:24 |
| L-argiplex | xorg | 22:24 |
| broly | is there a way i can mute 1 specific application? | 22:24 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: just compare it with output from my server. you'll quickly see what's missing: http://alexbartok.pastebin.com/m10a5f78c | 22:24 |
| silentContender | Have to go. I'll look into loading the right module | 22:24 |
| broly | the sound that is | 22:24 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: something is wrong with those devices in some way | 22:24 |
| Necrosan | The OS running on the future ubuntu system is OpenBSD 4.4 | 22:24 |
| Slart | MatBoy: I think you can replace the mac address.. I've never done it myself but I've read about it a few times.. not really sure where to look though | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | L-argiplex: log a bug report | 22:25 |
| |ntegra| | hey guys | 22:25 |
| user___ | jedi06: ok, i think a ss is helpful | 22:25 |
| L-argiplex | gub/grub. | 22:25 |
| Slart | MatBoy: I still think it's far easier to do it in the vm management software | 22:25 |
| jedi06 | ok ss hold on | 22:25 |
| L-argiplex | ActionParsnip: Im doing so... on irc | 22:25 |
| |ntegra| | I've played around with nm-applet a bit too much >I've got 4 of them when I boot! | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Necrosan: openbsd is bsd based, ubuntu is linux, totally different system | 22:25 |
| jedi06 | user__ here is the mount http://imagebin.ca/view/5lvashA.html | 22:25 |
| MatBoy | Slart: I think not because Ubuntu has to change it... not the vm management software | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | L-argiplex: cool | 22:25 |
| L-argiplex | ActionParsnip: Ive always seen this work very well. Since 1992 | 22:25 |
| L-argiplex | Np | 22:25 |
| filthpig | Necrosan: ah, unetbootin only exists for windows and linux currently :( | 22:25 |
| Necrosan | ActionParsnip: Sure, but dd is the same | 22:25 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: Ok, I'm starting to see why "Cannot open" is awkward when yours prints out so much data, yes. | 22:26 |
| Necrosan | filthpig: I can't just dd it over to the disk? | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | L-argiplex: im personally happy to edit xorg.conf | 22:26 |
| Necrosan | What's fundamentally different to not allow me to do this? | 22:26 |
| stormblue | You basically stick a USB drive in your computer and it makes it a bootable USB drive, ubottu. I suggesting getting the ISO off bittorent though. | 22:26 |
| Necrosan | And there is no hd-image on ports.ubuntu.com. | 22:26 |
| L-argiplex | ActionParsnip: Youre with writing demoes for the playscenes ? | 22:26 |

| alexb2283 | Slart / MatBoy : there is no automated way for host virtualization software to automatically edit the device mappings because it simply can't know for sure what to edit where, the ubuntu location of the file doesn't have to match that of any other distribution | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | L-argiplex: huh? | 22:26 |
| chills | hey guys i need a closer yahoo client then gaim, any ideas? | 22:26 |
| jsfoxton | hello there ppl. Anyone know anything about isight installation? | 22:26 |
| DIFH-iceroot | chills: kopete? | 22:27 |
| filthpig | Necrosan: you need to make it bootable. There might be other ways to do that, but I don't know how | 22:27 |
| jedi06 | user__ you may have to zoom in your browser to make it clearer | 22:27 |
| Slart | MatBoy: well.. I'm looking at my virtualbox manager right now and amongst the other settings for the vm I can set the MAC address for the network card.. or use a random one.. | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | jsfoxton: if you run lsusb and lspci it will identify itself, you can websearch from there | 22:27 |
| L-argiplex | ActionParsnip: They switched from driver "via" to "chrome" and i think the new driver is a good thing but it needs a bit more coding power | 22:27 |
| user___ | jedi06: which foremost command doesnt work for you? | 22:27 |
| alexb2283 | slat / matboy: the only "automated" way i see is to automatically throw away hard mapped network devices (if it's only one) and re-map on every boot | 22:27 |
| chills | DIFH-iceroot, i need something like amsn | 22:27 |
| MatBoy | Slart: indeed, but you don't want to the same one every time when you clone :) | 22:27 |
| alexb2283 | slat / matboy: in case you're cloning x times | 22:27 |
| stormblue | Slart, can't you change mac in ifconfig. | 22:27 |
| alexb2283 | slat / matboy: from the client side that is | 22:27 |
| MatBoy | so a new one is good, but I need to parse the dmesg mac to the 70 file | 22:28 |
| DIFH-iceroot | chills: i dont know amsn or any yahoo client, just have seen that kopete supports yahoo | 22:28 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: I guess that means I'm back to yet another reinstall ? Something in particular I should look out for ? | 22:28 |
| L-argiplex | ActionParsnip: Rock on! | 22:28 |
| jedi06 | I haven't tried it yet becuase for one I can't mount a usb i'm using vbox 2 i don't have a /dev/hda to mount | 22:28 |
| Slart | alexb2283: I just meant that it's easier to edit the "physical address" in the virtualization software and make ubuntu use the hardware address | 22:28 |
| Necrosan | filthpig: I don't know if you are familir with sparc64, but I can boot a different disk just by typing "boot disk1" (for disk 2, disk 1 is disk0) | 22:28 |
| Necrosan | in OBP | 22:28 |
| chills | ah okay thanks, would yahoo work under wine? | 22:28 |
| andypls1 | gys can anyone help me? | 22:28 |
| oCean_ | chills: then why not use amsn? | 22:28 |
| andypls1 | guys* | 22:28 |
| chills | oCean_, for yahoo ? | 22:28 |
| user___ | !ask | andypls1 | 22:28 |
| ubottu | andypls1: 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. :-) | 22:28 |
| alexb2283 | Slart: not really good if you're setting up a distributed test environment with 10 vms or more (or any other scenario where you clone more than once) - it works for one clone but it's awkward IMO | 22:29 |
| jedi06 | user__ but it looks like foremost is installed | 22:29 |
| Slart | MatBoy: nope.. so I'll just generate a new one for each new clone.. how many vm's are you going to use? | 22:29 |

| oCean_ | chills: ah! well.. I just read 'something like amsn' | 22:29 |
| MatBoy | Slart: yes, but it seems that Ubuntu doesn't change the mac in the 70 file automaticly !! | 22:29 |
| MatBoy | I have seen that before | 22:29 |
| Brack101 | what is the best tool for querying memory speed to determine which type I need to buy? | 22:29 |
| user___ | jedi06: you mentioned you were running a command with included addressing a hard disk, what command was this? | 22:29 |
| ksnake | silentContender, mine isnt based off intel, have u checked all the forums for hardware compatability, and what exacly happens when u turn it on? | 22:29 |
| chills | haha np oCean_ | 22:29 |
| andypls1 | ok when i turn the wireless button on, Linux doesn't recognise it, even though it works under Windows. When I dmesg, this is the output: | 22:29 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: Not sure what you mean by controller, sorry. If you are talking about a RAID controller, I have softwareRAID. | 22:29 |
| stormblue | chills: Pidgin? | 22:30 |
| andypls1 | [ 94.212021] iwl3945: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On: | 22:30 |
| andypls1 | [ 94.212025] Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work. | 22:30 |
| andypls1 | ? | 22:30 |
| ksnake | guess I lost him | 22:30 |
| jedi06 | i think it is foremost i'm using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Extract%20individual%20files%20from%20recovered%20image | 22:30 |
| alexb2283 | MatBoy: that's the point. it ensures persistence of devices. imagine if you had 3 net devs on a 3-legged firewall and the network devices switch on every boot | 22:30 |
| chills | stormblue, yea used tht didnt like it | 22:30 |
| ksnake | so much for live help eh? | 22:30 |
| jsfoxton | Actionparsnip....how do i get the firmware????? | 22:30 |
| filthpig | Necrosan: I've never even seen a sparc computer afaik ;) if you know that you can boot an iso image off an usb stick with sparc64, feel free to try. I have no knowledge of it, but please report back with your findings :) | 22:30 |
| ryker65 | can anyone tell me where to find the "filesystem device node" for my HP LaserJet 4000 in Ubuntu 8.10 so I can attempt to find it manually? | 22:30 |
| MatBoy | alexb2283: ok, true, but I need to automate it in some way, maybe with a script | 22:31 |
| user___ | jedi06: which exact command doesnt work? :-) | 22:31 |
| andypls1 | anybody any idea? | 22:31 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: that's fine, but even without raid you have a disk controller. for example on mainboards with intel chipsets it should be something like ICH8/9/10/... or nvidia-something on nvidia chipsets, etc. in short: what mainboard are you using, and what did you configure in the bios? | 22:31 |
| Necrosan | you are failing to understand my conundrum | 22:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jsfoxton: manufacturers website, or websearch for the laptop make / model with respect to ubuntu | 22:31 |
| stormblue | Necrosan: Type your conundrum in one big line. | 22:31 |
| runderwo | ryker65: the "device node" for a printer on LPT1 should be /dev/lp0 | 22:31 |
| jedi06 | well to be frank user__ mount /dev/sdb1 becuase usb doesn't work in vbox and formes -i /dev/hda becuase I don't have a /dev/hda | 22:32 |
| alexb2283 | MatBoy: i'd do it like this: | 22:32 |
| jedi06 | s/formes/foremost | 22:32 |
| Krstnsn | well i broke my ubuntu | 22:32 |
| ryker65 | tyvm | 22:32 |
| Krstnsn | is there a way to "repair" ? | 22:32 |
| MatBoy | alexb2283: macchanger ;) | 22:32 |
| MatBoy | apt-get install macchanger ;) | 22:32 |
| sWitch | how could you break ubuntu ? | 22:32 |
| Krstnsn | well | 22:33 |
| Krstnsn | file browser doesnt open | 22:33 |
| jedi06 | so user__ i need to know where my files are located? | 22:33 |
| Krstnsn | the little task bar thing is gone | 22:33 |
| jsfoxton | here's another for you guys....how do i reconnect my bluetooth mouse?? | 22:33 |
| krazyfingerz47 | I cant get sound, i've tried some ways and i cant get it working, someone helps?? | 22:33 |
| DasEI | !sound | krazyfingerz47: | 22:33 |
| ubottu | krazyfingerz47:: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 22:33 |
| sWitch | is ubuntu sound as good has windows7 ? | 22:33 |
| jedi06 | how do i know where my files are located? | 22:34 |
| Slart | jsfoxton: tried restarting the bluetooth connection? sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart | 22:34 |
| XolYnrac | hello | 22:34 |
| oCean_ | Brack101: you tried "lshw" ? | 22:34 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: alsamixer installed ? | 22:34 |
| alexb2283 | MatBoy: erg i can't find it - there was a tool to read out hardware macs. ethersomething | 22:34 |
| jedi06 | user__ it is too noisy in here | 22:34 |
| XolYnrac | one question!! | 22:34 |
| user___ | jedi06: are the files to be recovered in the virtual machine you are running also the live-cd? or are they on the host == windows with vbox program? | 22:34 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: Ah, right. I'm using a MSI P45 Neo3-FIR, so that's a ICH10R controller. Have had to set the drives to AHCI in the BIOS to be able to get to the option of Software RAID, though. Without that setting, the installer kept asking for drivers for the fakeRAID and the drives | 22:34 |
| filthpig | Krstnsn: how did you do that? | 22:34 |
| Slart | sWitch: if you tell us what windows 7 can do perhaps we can tell you if ubuntu can do it too | 22:34 |
| shibbz_ | aleX-:: macchanger? | 22:34 |
| alexb2283 | MatBoy: macchanger won't really help since all your clones will have the same mac - if you want networking between them you're screwed | 22:34 |
| shibbz_ | it can read... | 22:34 |
| tweak | can anyone help me? My graphics card isn't set up properly.. can't even use desktop effects | 22:34 |
| shibbz_ | all you have to do is sudo macchanger device | 22:34 |
| jedi06 | user__ the files to be recovered are on vbox and that is were i am running live-cd (recovery_remix) | 22:34 |
| sWitch | windows 7 as good sound | 22:35 |
| runderwo | tweak: what kind of gfx card? | 22:35 |
| shibbz_ | tweak, what graphics card? | 22:35 |
| user___ | jedi06: (theres a scroll up and down line in the chat program) | 22:35 |
| MatBoy | alexb2283: you can change mac as the vm has another mac every time | 22:35 |
| XolYnrac | how install dbase support for php5.2.6, i have ubuntu intrepid | 22:35 |
| Slart | sWitch: ok, ubuntu can do good sound too | 22:35 |
| sWitch | is it the same in ubuntu ? | 22:35 |
| XolYnrac | ?? | 22:35 |
| XolYnrac | how install dbase support for php5.2.6, i have ubuntu intrepid ?? | 22:35 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: Yes, its installed | 22:35 |
| sWitch | can do ? | 22:35 |
| runderwo | XolYnrac: install php5-mysql, php5-pgsql, etc | 22:35 |
| sWitch | but does it ? | 22:35 |
| Krstnsn | filthpig, i deleted some shit. everyone told me it was safe to delete this stuff. I deleted BlueZ, Totem, and some other stuff | 22:35 |
| jedi06 | user__ yes thank you | 22:35 |
| user___ | jedi06: does the live cd recognize the hd? f.e. does nautilus offer the disk to mount? | 22:35 |
| tweak | shibbz_: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 22:35 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: does your s-card show up correctly in the gui ? | 22:35 |
| XolYnrac | runderwo, package not exist | 22:35 |
| Slart | sWitch: yes | 22:35 |
| Krstnsn | is there anyway of installing everything that i deleted? | 22:35 |
| XolYnrac | runderwo, package not exist for dbase | 22:36 |
| shibbz_ | tweak, it is included in gnome | 22:36 |
| |ntegra| | hmm, lets try that then | 22:36 |
| alexb2283 | MatBoy: correct, but macchanger will do exactly what vmware or whatever solution you use - it'll change the mac. and udev won't recognize it as eth0 and therefore not bring it up | 22:36 |
| runderwo | XolYnrac: lol, literally dBase? :-) | 22:36 |
| sWitch | asd good as xp or as good as windows 7 ? | 22:36 |
| jedi06 | user__ i don't know what you mean recognize the hd I don't know which is the one where the files are? | 22:36 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: I guess so | 22:36 |
| shibbz_ | tweak, you do not need to download drivers. try sudo apt-get install compiz | 22:36 |
| alexb2283 | ^you use, does. | 22:36 |
| filthpig | Krstnsn: pop up a terminal and so sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 22:36 |
| MatBoy | alexb2283: it detects it | 22:36 |
| MatBoy | let me test | 22:36 |
| tweak | that's what I keep hearing but 3d graphics don't work at all | 22:36 |
| Slart | sWitch: now you're there again.. tell us what kind of sound performance you want and perhaps we can tell you if ubuntu can do it to | 22:36 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: no guess, if you call it, you can see it | 22:36 |
| shibbz_ | tweak, once compiz is installed you should be able to change desktop effects. | 22:36 |
| shibbz_ | tweak, is it greyed out? | 22:36 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: How? | 22:37 |
| hellhound_ | how can i downgrade from flash 10.0.15.3 to 9.x? | 22:37 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: multimedia > alsamixer | 22:37 |
| VSpike | The PDF at this URL crashes evince for me every time.. http://www.levenez.com/unix/unix.pdf | 22:37 |
| tweak | when i click the desktop effects it says that I can't turn them on | 22:37 |
| hateball | shibbz_: compiz is installed by default... restricted drivers do need to be activated tho | 22:37 |
| shibbz_ | tweak, is this a new installation of ubuntu? | 22:37 |
| user___ | jedi06: ok, one moment | 22:37 |
| linux_guy | how do you start virtualbox ose? I just installed it, and would like to get started =) | 22:37 |
| tweak | yes | 22:37 |
| VSpike | I've asked others to test it and it doesn't for any of them - any idea why it does for me? Ubuntu 8.04 | 22:37 |
| jedi06 | user__ ls /dev/ | egrep '(sd|hd)' gives ptysd sda sda1 sda2 sda5 ttysd | 22:37 |
| tweak | 8.10 | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | hellhound_: uninstall 10 and find libflashplayer.so fo 9 | 22:37 |
| shibbz_ | hateball, you'd be surprised, i installed a box today with an intel card and compiz was not included. | 22:37 |
| linux_guy | 8.10 intrepid | 22:37 |
| wat | go to applications/system tools/virtualbox | 22:37 |
| Krstnsn | filthpig, mostlikely this will install all the standard stuff that came on ubuntu that i ended up deleting? | 22:37 |
| Slart | VSpike: works here.. it's a pretty big document though | 22:38 |
| shibbz_ | tweak, did you update? | 22:38 |
| linux_guy | its not there for me wat | 22:38 |
| runderwo | XolYnrac: If you literally need the dBase module, go here: http://www.marksanborn.net/php/adding-dbase-support-to-php5-on-ubuntu/ | 22:38 |
| VSpike | Slart: yeah - the error is an X11 error | 22:38 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: or alsamixergui from trml | 22:38 |
| tweak | sure did | 22:38 |
| linux_guy | maybe i should restart? | 22:38 |
| wat | you get the installer from the vb website or did you use synaptic | 22:38 |
| Slart | VSpike: try opening it from a terminal so you can see what kind of error message it prints out | 22:38 |
| VSpike | Slart: wonder if it's driver or resolution specific? | 22:38 |
| hateball | shibbz_: it should be, but you need !cssm to configure it | 22:38 |
| linux_guy | wat: i used add/remove | 22:38 |
| wat | try that linux_guy you probably didnt install correctly | 22:38 |
| filthpig | Krstnsn: yes, it will install the deafult ubuntu packages. It'll get you up and running again. | 22:38 |
| wat | linux_guy get the installer from the vb website | 22:38 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: yes but it says its on pulseaudio | 22:38 |
| XolYnrac | runderwo, i need working whith .dbf files | 22:38 |
| shibbz_ | tweak, is compiz enabled? | 22:38 |
| tweak | how can I tell? | 22:39 |
| user___ | jedi06: so it would be sda (which i dont understand, because you said that it didnt work) | 22:39 |
| Krstnsn | filthpig, thanks.. i dont know exactly what caused it but i was unistalling all this stuff i dont want or need to lighten up. i should have done some googling or something | 22:39 |
| VSpike | Slart: http://pastebin.com/m6f012895 | 22:39 |
| Slart | VSpike: if it helps you in any way I'm running 64 bit 8.10 with a nvidia 8800 with driver 177.82 | 22:39 |
| shibbz_ | tweak, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 22:39 |
| user___ | jedi06: depends on how the foremost command works | 22:39 |
| jedi06 | the command given is /dev/hda | 22:39 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: had to read up a little. theoretically it looks flawless - other people don't seem to have issues (http://forum.msi.com.tw/index.php?topic=117746.msg902264). you could try without ahci mode and switch the sata controller to native mode | 22:39 |
| Brack101 | oCean_: lshw does not list my memory speed. any others? | 22:39 |
| user___ | jedi06: step one is creating the usb.. | 22:39 |
| shibbz_ | tweak, do that, log out and back in. that should fix it. | 22:39 |
| Formode | Hi All, just curious, I just discovered a "Grub 2" in synaptic, is this a working thing or? | 22:39 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: so switch it to alsa | 22:39 |
| tweak | ok done, i'll try logging out | 22:40 |
| tweak | brb | 22:40 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: another idea would be, | 22:40 |
| Slart | VSpike: hmm.. not enough resources for operation.. are you running out of memory? | 22:40 |
| user___ | jedi06: i suggest creating a network file system location which you can mount instead of a usb location | 22:40 |
| jedi06 | user__ ok so how do you know is sda did you instictively know that? | 22:40 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: i can see 3 types of alsa | 22:40 |
| DasEI | Formode:prbly yes, ask in #grub | 22:40 |
| linux_guy | i have 32 bit 8.10 with my amd64 processor, i should download virtualbox for i386 right? | 22:40 |
| jedi06 | user__ i thought of that like a shared folder on the host but you need to install guest additions and vbox tells me you cannot in livecd | 22:40 |
| oCean_ | Brack101: it did not? In the memory section? per bank it should read something like "SODIMM Synchronous 667 MHz" | 22:40 |
| jsfoxton | my bluetooth still isnt connecting to my mouse even after a restart...any ideas? | 22:41 |
| === Noites is now known as foo_ | ||
| |ntegra| | apparently you have to go into ~/.cache/sessions/ and rm -rf xfce... and reboot | 22:41 |
| Liantedan | alexb2283: Is I don't put the controller to AHCI, I have to supply drivers to be able to use my hdd's. The installer lists maybe a hundred drivers, and I have no clue which one to pick. And I don't want to use the fakeRAID, either. | 22:41 |
| Stalker72 | How do I install Kubuntu using the Alternate CD? | 22:41 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: to just use a plain /boot partition on /dev/sda and mirror that regularily to an identical partition (exact same size) using dd - theoretically, since /boot rarely changes you could do a manual clone (maybe per shell script on boot) | 22:41 |
| Krstnsn | filthpig, one of the dependencies of soemthing i uninstalled. was nautilus... haha | 22:41 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: as there are ? | 22:41 |
| VSpike | Slart: got 1331MB free | 22:41 |
| shibbz_ | tweak, ? | 22:41 |
| oCean_ | Brack101: wait, run the lshw command as "sudo" | 22:41 |
| === foo_ is now known as noites | ||
| shibbz_ | anything change? | 22:41 |
| tweak | desktop effects could not be enabled is what I am told | 22:41 |
| shibbz_ | hmm | 22:41 |
| shibbz_ | hang on a sec tweak | 22:41 |
| user___ | jedi06: "shared folder on the host" is not a real network file system i think, which means other could still work very well | 22:41 |
| joejc | whats new in jaunty? | 22:41 |
| runderwo | Brack101: You can also try 'dmidecode' and look for Memory device in the output | 22:41 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: HDA Intel ALC888 Digital (ALSA) , HDA Intel LAC888 Analog (ALSA), ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture | 22:41 |
| Slart | VSpike: hmm.. it only uses about 50Mb of memory to open it for me.. perhaps it's not ordinary memory but graphics memory.. or something else | 22:41 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: i'm not talking about setting it to raid mode, but to plain sata, with is "one step lower" | 22:41 |
| tweak | certainly thank you | 22:41 |
| VSpike | Slart: I'd guess graphics memory, agreed | 22:42 |
| DasEI | !jaunty | joejc | 22:42 |

| shibbz_ | tweak, lspci -v | grep -i vga post in private | 22:42 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: take the first | 22:42 |
| VSpike | Slart: I wonder if it's trying to allocate a very large offscreen bitmap, for example? | 22:42 |
| user___ | jedi06: btw did you say that sda worked for you? | 22:42 |
| Slart | VSpike: I'm not really sure how the pdf viewer does what it does.. but what you said seems reasonable | 22:42 |
| alexb2283 | Liantedan: anyway, as i was saying. cloning it manually (including grub/the boot sector) might do the trick, in case of disk failure you would edit the boot line in grub to say /dev/sdb instead of sda | 22:42 |

| quaal | Peddy, by installing ssh server | 22:50 |

| DasEI | krazyfingerz47:url from 3rd cmd ? | 22:50 |
| oCean_ | Brack101: did you run command "sudo" ? As user, you will not see all the information. Ran with sudo it should output detailed information on memory banks | 22:51 |

| linux_guy | wat: i removed virtualbox ose from add/remove and downloaded the package file from virtualbox.org and I still have the same results. Nothing under applications > system tools | 22:51 |
| linux_guy | virtualbox is installed, i just need to start it | 22:51 |

| joejc | what does ubuntu 8.04 and sabayon have in common? | 22:54 |
| cweigle | omaruko, that is illegal, don't ask again | 22:54 |
| oCean_ | Brack101: that might be it. Sorry, I have no other options | 22:54 |
| Slart | omaruko: find somewhere to download from.. I don't think itunes runs in ubuntu unless you want to use wine | 22:54 |
| phenner | ActionParsnip: When I run modprobe capability it gives this: FATAL: module capability not found. | 22:54 |
| phenner | :S | 22:54 |
| cweigle | Slart, the latest itunes update doesn't work in wine | 22:54 |
| cweigle | I have tried | 22:54 |
| omaruko | :( | 22:54 |
| Slart | cweigle: hrmpf..thanks | 22:54 |
| omaruko | pl | 22:54 |
| omaruko | ok | 22:54 |
| omaruko | so how can i bring my music from windows to my ubuntu? | 22:55 |
| Slart | omaruko: I think amarok has some kind of music store attached to it.. very limited offerings though | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | phenner: then yuo need the package that gives that module or compile the source for the module | 22:55 |
| hole_ | i've downloaded a new font and i dont know how to use it can/will anyone help? | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | phenner: are you sure the module name is called "capability"? | 22:55 |
| hole_ | it is a .ttf file | 22:55 |
| Slart | omaruko: what music? mp3's you can just copy over.. or play where they are now.. | 22:55 |
| phenner | yep | 22:55 |

| DasEI | krazyfingerz47:close alsamixer, then :sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel | 22:55 |
| phenner | ActionParsnip: 4) Install pure-ftpd and quota | 22:55 |
| phenner | First we have to make sure that the capability module is loaded in the kernel | 22:55 |
| phenner | modprobe capability | 22:55 |
| phenner | echo 'capability' >> /etc/modules | 22:55 |
| phenner | Then we install pureftpd and quota. | 22:55 |
| FloodBot1 | phenner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:55 |
| hole_ | thx | 22:55 |
| phenner | apt-get install pure-ftpd-common pure-ftpd-mysql quota quotatool | 22:55 |
| Slart | hole_: copy it to ~/.fonts then see if openoffice and the rest picks it up | 22:56 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47:alsamixergui | 22:56 |
| cweigle | Songbird has a few addons you can install which allow you to access music stores through it | 22:56 |

| filthpig | I'm trying to install Ibex on a HP Compaq 6715s, it uses an AMD/ATi combo and is dual core with 1 gb of ram. However, when I boot ibex, either from a memorystick or CD, and either 32 or 64 bits, it's just so incredibly SLOW! It's like dancing tango in liquid concrete.. However if I boot with Hardy it's snappy and responsive, at least from the memory stick. I'm trying to install Ibex now, but it's just so slow that I sometimes wonder if the who | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | phenner: i dont think the module is called "capability" I think its just a guide on how to populate the modules file | 22:56 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: i get the no driver error | 22:57 |
| StarLegend | I need help =) | 22:57 |
| phenner | oh right... so what do it do? | 22:57 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: weird... | 22:57 |
| alexb2283 | i have another good one... my udevd is trying to access /etc/udev/rules.d before dm-crypt kicks in to decrypt / - it's more of a cosmetical thing, but does someone know how to tell udev to wait ? | 22:57 |
| Microsux | hi | 22:57 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47:sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart , then try again | 22:57 |
| michaelb | filthpig: "dancing tango in liquid concrete" -- I like your analogies =) | 22:57 |
| Slart | filthpig: hmm.. any interesting error messages during boot? | 22:57 |
| Microsux | i have need to know my extract files problem | 22:57 |
| filthpig | !hi | Microsux | 22:57 |
| ubottu | Microsux: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 22:57 |
| Microsux | Inappropriate ioctl for device | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | filthpig: you'll find the installed system embraces the system better. The liove cd has to be hugely generic so may run slow. If you add !bootoptions to the livecd you can improve performance | 22:57 |
| runderwo | filthpig: are you able to view the system monitor and see if there is anything eating 100% cpu? | 22:57 |
| Microsux | what dose this mean " Inappropriate ioctl for device ? | 22:58 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: same | 22:58 |
| Microsux | thanks for the welcome filthpig | 22:58 |
| runderwo | Microsux: It's usually a problem with a driver or a program using the driver in an unexpected way. Sometimes a version mismatch. | 22:58 |
| StarLegend | is there reason to Compile WINE 1.1.13 from Source or wait for *.deb realise? (sorry for my bad English) | 22:58 |
| tue | hello. im running tomcat5.5 on kubuntu 8.10. my problem is that System.out.println statements in servlets are not getting logged, more specifically i cannot find a catalina.out file. How can i enable logging to catalina.out? | 22:58 |
| Slart | filthpig: oh.. sorry.. yes.. the live cd can be a bit slow.. after all.. it uses much of that memory for creating a ram disk to run from | 22:58 |
| runderwo | Microsux: what are you extracting files to? | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | StarLegend: if the current wine doesnt do all you need then theres no reason to upgrade | 22:59 |
| Microsux | runderwo, a driver problem ? what kind of driver could be causing problems with file extraction ? | 22:59 |
| Microsux | runderwo, desktop | 22:59 |
| filthpig | ActionParsnip: what I find weird is that even from memory stick ibex is hilariously slow, while hardy from the exact same memstick works ~ as good as an installed system.. | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !info wine | 22:59 |

| gofg | it's a standard external drive. | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | filthpig: check config of your ibex | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | filthpig: if you prefer hardy, stick with it. Its LTS so is still supported | 23:00 |
| cweigle | /ping gofg | 23:00 |
| cweigle | oops | 23:00 |
| gofg | hey it's ActionParsnip again :D Hey ActionParsnip, I remember what you said earlier, but I can't quite remember how you told it what to mount | 23:00 |
| StarLegend | ActionParsnip: But if I compile wine in my Hardware, is there a good effect? | 23:00 |
| Slart | gofg: run this in a terminal, "tail -f /var/log/syslog".. then connect your drive and see what the log says about it | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | StarLegend: you can give the compile some options which may give better performance | 23:00 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: maybe i must try reinstalling, how? | 23:00 |
| linux_guy | virtualbox-ose is installed, how can i start it? it is NOT under apps>sys tools | 23:00 |
| runderwo | Microsux: try checking dmesg after it fails. | 23:00 |
| tasos | i have a problem with multiple ubuntu 21-23-24-25 with updates. I think that in my system i have so much operating systems that fill my disk.How can i have in grub only the last update Ubuntu? | 23:01 |
| Microsux | whats dmesg? | 23:01 |
| filthpig | ActionParsnip: well the comp is not for me, and I actually do want people to use ibex mainly because of the vastly improved networkmanager.. I use 8.04 on this computer :) | 23:01 |
| Slart | linux_guy: it's in applications, accessories now | 23:01 |
| oCean_ | Microsux: what is it that you're attempting to do when you get the error? | 23:01 |
| linux_guy | slart, im a moron | 23:01 |
| StarLegend | ActionParsnip: Ok. Thank's | 23:01 |
| Microsux | oCean_, extract a .rar file | 23:01 |

| ActionParsnip | filthpig: ive seen a lot of issues in here with nm-applpet, i always advise wifi-radar | 23:01 |
| oCean_ | Microsux: using what command? | 23:02 |
| Sal_ | can anyone tell me what will happen if i do: kill -HUP | 23:02 |
| Microsux | i dont know how to use command | 23:02 |
| hole_ | nevermind | 23:02 |
| Microsux | i just right click | 23:02 |
| linux_guy | slart: lol. my book IS about 8.04 was it under sys tools for 8.04? | 23:02 |
| Microsux | and press extract here | 23:02 |
| Slart | gofg: that's all?.. hang on.. let me show you what it says when I plug in my external drive | 23:02 |
| Slart | linux_guy: yes.. I think it was moved for 8.10 | 23:02 |

| cweigle | I have a terminal question | 23:05 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: though it should be already : sudo apt-get install alsa-utils alsa-base alsa-oss | 23:06 |
| VSpike | Slart: big old bitmap, that :) | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | cweigle | 23:06 |
| ubottu | cweigle: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:06 |
| runderwo | Microsux: I'm only interested what's at the end. | 23:06 |
| sWitch | nvm dx10 is too slow | 23:06 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: sudo reboot | 23:06 |
| runderwo | filthpig: what process is using all that CPU? | 23:06 |
| oCean_ | cweigle: terminal, as in "final" ? :) | 23:06 |
| filthpig | sWitch: dx10 support is still very experimental in wine, and you probably won't get anything working with it | 23:06 |
| runderwo | filthpig: Sort the processes by CPU usage. | 23:06 |
| Solanth | Holy shit | 23:06 |
| cweigle | Why does it only say continue Y/n if the file is in mb instead of kb | 23:06 |
| Slart | VSpike: yup.. but.. does it create it in videomemory? I thought it could do that in system memory.. | 23:06 |

| Microsux | runderwo, shall I pase it somewhere ? | 23:07 |
| Microsux | *paste | 23:07 |
| gofg | cweigle, that was a decision made by the guys who made apt | 23:07 |
| filthpig | runderwo: I did, and ubiquity used ~30% and sys.man. ~30%... nothing else used cpu | 23:07 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: sudo reboot | 23:07 |
| runderwo | Microsux: /msg me the last 5 lines | 23:07 |

| Gerinych | is there something like kgrubeditor for gnome? | 23:18 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47:what do you use for input ? mp3 ? | 23:18 |

| filthpig | hellhound_: why do you want that? | 23:19 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47:just get a free mp3 from music.donload.com and play with amarok, to have a visual control | 23:20 |
| DasEI | *down | 23:20 |
| Gerinych | DasEI: those are text editors, i'm looking for something that can customize my grub bootloader | 23:20 |
| DasEI | Gerinych:the can, commandline ? nano or pico | 23:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gerinych, Like background graphic etc? | 23:20 |
| hellhound_ | filthpig, because 10.x is not working in fullscreen mode and after googling for sometime it seems that 9.x works best with full screen | 23:20 |
| filthpig | hellhound_: anyway, sudo apt-get remove flashplayer-nonfree is what you should do. then you'll have to fetch FP9 from adobe's homepage and install that | 23:20 |
| Gerinych | jack_sparrow: yeah, something like that | 23:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gerinych, I have a short tutorial I made up for grub splash, but it isnt a program that does it for you | 23:21 |
| Gerinych | jack_sparrow: that'll do, thanks | 23:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gerinych, Hold on | 23:22 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: same with mp3 files | 23:22 |

| Anacranom | what is the full kernel version that is packaged in the 8.10 cd? | 23:23 |

| pheeror | hi, why is totem the default dvd player when it can't play dvd? :-) | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | druntar: you could try getting apt-build running on your system, can make apps run a little slicker | 23:29 |
| Phreakazoid | it can if you get the codecs | 23:29 |
| kitche | pheeror: because it can play dvd's | 23:29 |
| jedi06 | ActionParsnip how do i know if 1 it picked up the network addapter and 2 what is the file browser in livecd it is all command line | 23:30 |
| CyberGabber | jedi06: Menu : Places > Network, than browse 'Windows Network'... | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | pheeror: it can if yiou have dvd codecs | 23:30 |
| jedi06 | it is all command line stuff cybergabber | 23:30 |
| Slart | druntar: you can ask here, I guess.. or the offtopic channel #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:30 |
| jinja-sheep | jedi06: You're trying to share a folder between two machines? | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | pheeror: any lpayer can play anything with codecs | 23:30 |
| omaruko | !ntfs | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jedi06: nope, its gui | 23:30 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 23:30 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47:does the s-card have a separate headphone jack ? | 23:30 |
| hellhound_ | filthpig, ah hah it was /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5 | 23:30 |
| jedi06 | jinja-sheep well it is the same machine but they think they are different | 23:30 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: yes | 23:30 |
| omaruko | !fuse | 23:30 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 23:30 |
| pheeror | ActionParsnip, kitche: gstreamer is pretty bad when it comes to dvd menus | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jedi06: if its on the same local machine, you dont have to share it, just mount it with ntfs-3g | 23:31 |
| Anacranom | Jack_Sparrow, are you running 8.10 and if so what is the kernel version that it has? | 23:31 |
| pheeror | i.e. there are no codecs for it in ubuntu | 23:31 |
| jinja-sheep | jedi06: You're trying to create a folder (on linux) that your Windows (on VirtualBox) can access to... ? | 23:31 |
| jedi06 | ActionParsnip I downloaded this ubuntu-recovery-remix are you saying install something else that has a gui | 23:31 |
| albuntu | can anyone tell me what file do i have to edit for editing the gnome-panel? for example how to change gnome panel position from top to bottom but without using gui. from terminal. thank you | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | pheeror: it can still play it is the fact though | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | pheeror: bad or not is down to config | 23:31 |
| drash | pheeror: totem-xine does dvd menus just fine (the codec remark still stands though) | 23:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Anacranom, Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-9-generic on this one | 23:32 |
| jedi06 | jinja-sheep i created the folder in windows that i will need to save stuff to from linux | 23:32 |
| pheeror | ActionParsnip: rather down to code ;-) | 23:32 |
| cweigle | Does anyone know of a music composition program for linux that is reminiscent of Finale or Cakewalk? | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | pheeror: ive had no issues with it. I personally use mplayer | 23:32 |
| jinja-sheep | jedi06: What are you running? And what is VirtualBox running? (Host/Guest0. | 23:32 |
| Anacranom | Jack_Sparrow, you didnt compie that- it came with it, right? | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | cweigle: lmms maybe? | 23:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 23:32 |
| Anacranom | *compile | 23:32 |
| cweigle | Thank you Parsnip, I will check and see if it is what I'm looking for, if not I'll come back and see if something else is available | 23:33 |
| jedi06 | I am running virtual-box 2.1.0 free version. Host XP/ Guest Ubuntu 8.10 | 23:33 |
| pheeror | drash: so let's rephrase it for zealots: Why is a player that uses a gstreamer the default dvd player while they is not gstreamer dvd codec in ubuntu | 23:33 |
| pheeror | there | 23:33 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47:I#am not sure about that, maybe there is a setting system>preferences sound for which channels to show up, else go to use general output | 23:34 |
| cweigle | That doesn't make sense pheror | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jedi06: then you access it via your XP IP address / share name | 23:34 |
| kitche | pheeror: ubuntu by default can't use the dvd codec you have to install it using another repo | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jedi06: the VM will be on a 10.x.x.x network | 23:34 |
| pheeror | kitche: and do you have the name of the package? | 23:34 |
| jinja-sheep | jedi06: Okay. My situation is opposite. I think it is similar. First, you set up. On VirtualBox, do you see (Devices --> Shared Folders -->)? Set that to point to your folder. | 23:34 |
| druntar | kitche I thought dvd playback was in the restricted extras package? | 23:34 |
| drash | pheeror: personally i stepped back from gstreamer since i tried totem-xine .. but there's some config options to consider as well | 23:35 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: it might be you got to re-install alsamixer, as alsa couldn't find the card before an chip is now correctly found | 23:35 |
| kitche | pheeror: yes libdvdcss2(3) it could be 3 by now | 23:35 |
| pheeror | kitche: is it a gstreamer plugin? | 23:35 |

| jedi06 | ok with the smb://servername/sharename jinja-sheep | 23:35 |

| george | hi | 23:36 |
| G1ZmO | evenin | 23:36 |

| jedi06 | jinja-sheep that seems counter productive | 23:36 |
| nickrud | druntar, see the ubottu provided link above to get css'd dvd's to play in totem. Ubuntu doesn't provide it in any repo | 23:36 |
| pheeror | btw. of course, I have libdvdcss and regionset installed and I can play dvd without problems but not using totem-gstreamer | 23:36 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: no, i've never heard anything on this OS | 23:36 |
| druntar | I already can play dvds | 23:36 |

| ActionParsnip | Guest_571nukisen: should be fine | 23:41 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: yea i know, but i think that the headset is good when its plugged | 23:41 |
| Slart | Anacranom: generally speaking.. I think they test the kernel with the different apps so it all works.. I'm not sure if the newer kernel behaves just the same as the original on in every way.. I don't know of any specific software that breaks on the newer kernel though | 23:41 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: coz it works on Xp | 23:41 |
| Guest_571nukisen | When i am booting ubuntu i got a blank screen | 23:41 |
| jinja-sheep | jedi06: Meanwhile, try your luck in #vbox | 23:41 |
| al__ | jinja, the problem is, there is nothing to plug in, the tablet is the monitor itself, and when I try to write on it, nothing | 23:41 |
| derferman | Hmm, what does --MARK-- mean in the syslog? | 23:41 |
| Slart | Gerinych: nah.. don't be to hard on yourself =) | 23:42 |

| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: i use the standard out | 23:42 |
| Anacranom | thatnk you Slart , do you a know a channel that would know? | 23:42 |
| jinja-sheep | !tab | al__ | 23:42 |
| ubottu | al__: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 23:42 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: so it should work then | 23:42 |
| jinja-sheep | al__: Did you install the wacom-tool? Try "sudo aptitude search wacom" | 23:42 |
| Slart | Anacranom: no idea really.. I would guess an ubuntu channel of some sorts since the kernel has to play nice with the other ubuntu packages.. | 23:43 |
| jinja-sheep | al__: Once you find the said package -- use "sudo aptitude install <xyzpackage>" | 23:43 |
| MatBoy | I'm looking for a bash script that asks me to change the password for 2 known users that I set in the script... I'm playing with bash ones, but can't find out really | 23:43 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: no it doesnt :S | 23:43 |
| Guest_571nukisen | Wich program in Ubuntu is best for Ja´va compiling | 23:43 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: in alsamixer above the volume sliders the speaker icons have to bee green (clickable) | 23:43 |
| jedi06 | jinja-sheep i have | 23:43 |
| Slart | derferman: I'm not quite sure.. but I think it's your computers way of letting you know that nothing new has happened | 23:43 |
| al__ | jinja-sheep, oh ya, thats installed, doesnt help, I dont know how to turn it on | 23:43 |
| Anacranom | or if there's a way i could back up my system (like ghost image clone) before i do? Slart | 23:43 |
| kitche | Guest_571nukisen: umm maybe the java-jdk | 23:44 |
| the_rainbow | hello guys | 23:44 |
| Slart | derferman: but it still feels it has to put something in the log.. so it does a --MARK-- | 23:44 |
| al__ | jinja-sheep, | test? | 23:44 |
| the_rainbow | what's the best way to test the RW permissions for all users in bash? | 23:44 |
| Guest_571nukisen | :) i have tried JDK | 23:44 |
| the_rainbow | if (ls -l /my/file | grep rw-rw-rw), is it ok? | 23:44 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: yes its green, and all the way up | 23:44 |
| Slart | Anacranom: if you compile a new kernel you can always use the older kernel when you boot.. that's what the grub menu is all about | 23:44 |
| G1ZmO | wonder if someone can help me. I have ubuntu desktop on this laptop and trying to access shared folders on a win 2003 server. I can connect to shared folders with the "Connect to server" option as long as the shares have no spaces in the names. how do I connect to those with spaces? e.g. "\\servername\pauls docs" ? | 23:44 |
| Guest_571nukisen | It works fine but is nt that user friendly for me | 23:44 |
| Slart | Anacranom: just don't remove the older kernels | 23:44 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47:40% is enough, save the phones :D | 23:44 |
| Guest_571nukisen | I am a little stupid about programming yet :) | 23:45 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: lol ^^ | 23:45 |
| jinja-sheep | al__: Good. I got your message. I'm looking at... forums -- You might have luck with Ubuntu-Mobile. I'll find a link. Still looking. | 23:45 |
| douglasjam | hi | 23:45 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47:and again, both, digital and audio don't work ? | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | G1ZmO: use \\servername\pauls/ docs | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | G1ZmO: i'd reshare the folder personally | 23:45 |
| Slart | derferman: here's a thread about it.. and a way to turn it off if you want to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513850 | 23:45 |
| jinja-sheep | al__: Is this what you're looking for -- http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile | 23:45 |
| Anacranom | Slart, ok-- duhhh, sorry, been a long day compiling and watching stuff either break or get fixed on a diff distro, thanks again | 23:45 |
| jinja-sheep | al__: Finger friendly, touch driven. | 23:45 |
| Slart | Anacranom: no worries.. happy to help | 23:46 |
| G1ZmO | thanks ActionParsnip | 23:46 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: no:s, i've tried all the types in the list | 23:46 |
| G1ZmO | trying that | 23:46 |
| Bax | weird, I seemed to have fixed my windows maximization issue after fiddling with the screen settings, even though in the end I came full circle to my original settings. Guess it was the ati card hiccuping. | 23:46 |
| al__ | jinja-sheep, | would that be a synaptic meta pkg? | 23:46 |
| p4_ | is there a channel to discuss permissions please? I need some help with permissions. I have read the community documentation | 23:46 |
| druntar | Hey Slart were you here last night when linux_freak screwed up his partition? | 23:46 |
| jedi06 | ok i'm trying to install ntsf-3g | 23:46 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47:pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 23:46 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47 pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 23:47 |
| Anacranom | Slart, 1 last thing, if i do have to use older kernel, can i simply edit the menu.lst to not have that option? | 23:47 |
| Slart | druntar: yup..I think you told me about that | 23:47 |
| tIRC | SrcEdit | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | G1ZmO: you can also use smb://severname in nautilus | 23:47 |
| druntar | Slart: wasn't sure if you were around for the aftermath of that one or not. | 23:47 |
| Slart | Anacranom: you can edit the menu.lst to only show the kernels you want.. but read the grub man page.. it has all the info | 23:47 |
| jinja-sheep | al__: Possible. I wouldn't know as I never played with the monitor tablet, but rather the wacom tablet for drawing / artist. | 23:47 |
| G1ZmO | yes ActionParsnip I'm coming to the conclusion that I'd be better resharing the folders | 23:47 |
| Anacranom | ActionParsnip, is it // or /// ? | 23:47 |
| Slart | druntar: the last I heard was you getting yelled at for killing her/her system | 23:48 |
| Anacranom | cool, thanks Slart | 23:48 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: it doesnt response to that cmd | 23:48 |
| al__ | jinja-sheep, | ahhhh | 23:48 |
| druntar | Slart: Pretty much, but I KNOW I was giving clear and concise instructions. I'm thinking either I was dealing with a complete moron, or they were just screwing with me. | 23:49 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 23:49 |
| al__ | jinja-sheep | bout to install now, Thank you for all the help | 23:50 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: nothing, it seems like its processing the info but i get no response | 23:50 |
| jedi06 | ActionParsnip how do i setup the ntsf-3g? | 23:50 |
| Slart | druntar: mm.. that's how I understood it from what you said, yes | 23:50 |
| DasEI | druntar: logging can savew your life !;-) | 23:50 |
| gnutron | jedi06: install ntfs-config with it | 23:50 |
| jinja-sheep | al__: I'm glad to guide you to somewhere. :) | 23:50 |
| jedi06 | i put a folder on my windows xp desktop not how to i point to that location | 23:50 |
| jinja-sheep | jedi06: I found something -- http://www.giannistsakiris.com/index.php/2008/04/09/virtualbox-access-windows-host-shared-folders-from-ubuntu-guest/ | 23:50 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: gedit /var/log/syslog | 23:51 |
| p4_ | I just don't get it, if a user is a part of a group, and I've used "sudo chown -R :groupname /path" why can't the user even read folders inside the path? | 23:51 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: file there ? | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !ntfs3g | jedi06 | 23:51 |
| ubottu | jedi06: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 23:51 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: yes, now i realize that its too big, let me try again | 23:51 |
| jedi06 | jinja-sheep i cannot install guest additions from livecd | 23:51 |
| Slart | p4_: chown only changes which group owns it.. it says nothing about what the permissions on the files are | 23:51 |
| DasEI | !paste | krazyfingerz47 | 23:52 |
| ubottu | krazyfingerz47: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 23:52 |
| Netham46 | "caught SIGWINCH, shutting down gracefully " I have alot of those in my apache config, and it's no longer serving webpages, anyone know why? | 23:52 |
| Anacranom | p4_, and its sudo chown -R <user>:groupname /path | 23:52 |
| gnutron | p4_: its chown user:group | 23:52 |
| Slart | p4_: you can have files not even the owner can read | 23:52 |
| druntar | DasEI: well it was the first time I actually knew the answer to someones question. I tried my best to be patient and painstakenly explained every little step. If nothing else I learned to log any time I help someone, and to always keep it in the main channel. Yes, I was dumb enough to take it to a private chat. | 23:52 |
| jinja-sheep | jedi06: You can download the guest addition from the website and place it in the correct directory. | 23:52 |
| Guest_571nukisen | I must be one of the most stupido in the north | 23:52 |
| gsc | When a you to open a file but a suitable app is not bounded to it, you get nautilius with the home dir. There is little chance to find a suitable app there. Is it possible to get the menu instead like in KDE? | 23:52 |
| rodolfo | i would test my skype. can anyone help me? | 23:52 |
| p4_ | I see, but I need for more than one user to be able to access the files! | 23:53 |
| Guest_571nukisen | I hav downloaded Ubuntu 32 And forgot where i saved it :S | 23:53 |
| druntar | rodolfo: test your skype how? | 23:53 |
| p4_ | and this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 23:53 |
| p4_ | indicates you can leave the username blank and just go :groupname | 23:53 |
| Slart | p4_: what are the permissions on the files? | 23:53 |
| === Anwender is now known as Claw6 | ||
| rodolfo | druntar: i want to test my calls | 23:53 |
| Anacranom | p4_, proll a typo | 23:53 |
| Anacranom | y | 23:53 |
| Slart | p4_: you have to do a chmod g+rw too.. so the group members can read/write, if that's what you want | 23:54 |
| DasEI | druntar: don't take it too serious if you did it carefully, and it wasn't otr, or ? | 23:54 |
| p4_ | Slart, as in "sudo chmod -R g+rw /path" ? | 23:54 |
| yimer | how i switch to a different server on here? | 23:54 |
| druntar | rodolfo: just use the test call in your friends list | 23:54 |
| rodolfo | druntar: can u help me? | 23:54 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: 1 sec | 23:54 |
| Pici | yimer: /server someserver.net | 23:54 |
| Slart | p4_: that looks correct, yes | 23:54 |
| cplusplus | whats the name of the svn package? | 23:54 |
| p4_ | I've tried that : ( | 23:54 |
| lstarnes | cplusplus: maybe subversion | 23:55 |
| p4_ | permissions are "drwxrwxr-x" atm | 23:55 |
| rww | yimer: Bring up the Network List with XChat > Network List, or type "/server servername" | 23:55 |
| druntar | rodolfo: All you have to do to test if it's working is to make a test call. There should be a contact in your skype list called "Skype Test Call" | 23:55 |
| cplusplus | yes ;) | 23:55 |
| Anacranom | as in sudo chmod -R ### path/to/filename | 23:55 |
| Slart | p4_: and still people in the group can't read the files? | 23:55 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105745/ | 23:55 |
| druntar | rodolfo: just double click it and follow the prompts. | 23:55 |
| thasp | ifconfig says that ath0(my wifi NIC) is up with an IP address, but my router says it is not, and i can't get online with it | 23:56 |
| thasp | anything I can try? | 23:56 |
| gnutron | p4_: try chmod 660 -R /path/path/ that gives the owner and group read/write permissions but the directory needs the exec bit, i.e. 755 | 23:56 |
| druntar | thasp: Have you tried rebooting the router? | 23:56 |
| thasp | n | 23:56 |
| thasp | *no | 23:56 |
| thasp | I can connect with my windows machine to it | 23:56 |

| rodolfo | druntar: ok.. i found a bug in skype's package.. i can't change my avatar.. | 23:57 |
| druntar | thasp: I have that same issue sometimes. I don't know exactly what causes it, but usually rebooting the router and the ubuntu machine usually fixes it for me. | 23:57 |
| Claw6 | rodolfo, dont belive xD | 23:57 |
| wemdowemd | Are there any statistics available on ubuntu use over the years? Download rates, anything like that? | 23:57 |
| gnutron | p4_: chmod can use characters or octal format | 23:57 |
| rodolfo | Claw6: why? | 23:58 |
| druntar | Slart: Welcome back. | 23:58 |
| rodolfo | I can change my avatar in static installation.. | 23:58 |
