| p4_ | well now not even the owner can access it, i don't know what that 660 did | 00:00 |
| rodolfo | jken146: exactly | 00:00 |
| druntar | Does anyone know if pulseaudio HAS to be used with 8.10? I've been having some problems with it. | 00:00 |
| mylisto | that is similar to total recorder for windows? | 00:00 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: 72mb of archives | 00:00 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: ok? | 00:00 |
| mandragora22 | can anyone help me how do i connect to other server? | 00:00 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: go ahead | 00:00 |
| druntar | And if not does anyone know of any alternatives? | 00:00 |
| rodolfo | jken146: did u know that? | 00:00 |
| nukisen | mandragora wich irc program u use | 00:00 |
| jken146 | rodolfo, that's exactly what I have, and I can change my av | 00:01 |
| al__ | jinja-sheep, | hey, are you still there? | 00:01 |
| Anacranom | druntar, have you tried OSS? | 00:01 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: kk arround 20 mins, you will be here? | 00:01 |
| jedi06 | sudo fdisk -l | grep NTFS | awk '{print $1}' does not return anything? | 00:01 |
| nukisen | wich irc client is best in ubuntu | 00:01 |
| mylisto | anyone? | 00:01 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: k, slow connection.. | 00:01 |
| mylisto | nukisen: I'm using chatzilla for firefox | 00:02 |
| rodolfo | jken146: do u have static installation of skype, isn't it? | 00:02 |
| mylisto | works fine for me | 00:02 |
| DasEI | !best | nukisen | 00:02 |
| ubottu | nukisen: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 00:02 |
| ST47 | nukisen: irssi, xchat | 00:02 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: its coz im in a network (4 pcs downloading) | 00:02 |
| druntar | Anacranom: No, Just been dealing with it. | 00:02 |
| DasEI | nukisen: pidgin, irrsi, xchat are most common | 00:02 |
| gnutron | p4_: chmod 700 or 755 the directory, chmod the files 600 or 660 for owner and group | 00:02 |
| nukisen | ok i have it :) | 00:02 |
| nukisen | Yes pdgin should be fine thx | 00:02 |
| jken146 | rodolfo, no, I am using the package called skype, which uses the system's own qt libraries instead of skype's. That works for me. | 00:02 |
| p4_ | ahhhh thanks gnutron :) | 00:02 |
| p4_ | ok i'll try that | 00:03 |
| bthompson | hey guys i have a SB audigy card that I cannot get the microphone to work....anybody have any ideas..it works fine in windows.. | 00:03 |
| === burkmat is now known as BurkZzZ | ||
| nukisen | didnt thought about it works for irc as well | 00:03 |
| lstarnes | nukisen: pidgin's IRC support is very incomplete | 00:03 |
| druntar | Actually, to be honest, I'm not even sure it's pulse. All I know for sure is that nothing seems to recognize my laptops built in microphone. | 00:03 |
| Anacranom | druntar, i'm using OSS on my main box, my game box, and am very happy with the 5 channel audio and the ossmixer interface | 00:03 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: thanks a lot btw ;) | 00:03 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: ill pm u when ready | 00:03 |
| rodolfo | jken146: just works for me in static package.. | 00:03 |
| DasEI | .. | 00:03 |
| bthompson | its is an sb0090 | 00:03 |
| rodolfo | jken146: i can change in static package | 00:03 |
| nukisen | Oki i find out | 00:03 |
| mylisto | wondering... | 00:04 |
| mylisto | does anyone know how to record skype calls in ubuntu? | 00:04 |
| Anacranom | druntar, but i am using 8.04, not sure how it does in 8.10 | 00:04 |
| jken146 | rodolfo, I thought you said you found a bug in skype static? | 00:04 |
| MatBoy | is there a way to set a new password on the commandline without retyping the password for verification ? | 00:04 |
| zerwas_ | There is a process which consumpts 100% cpu and which i cannot even kill with "kill -9". Is there any chance to kill it? | 00:04 |
| jken146 | MatBoy, not to my knowledge | 00:04 |
| Slart | MatBoy: I think root can set passwords without having to type the old one | 00:04 |
| jedi06 | ActionParsnip I don't have any NTFS partition linux is aware of | 00:04 |
| Slart | MatBoy: check man passwd | 00:04 |
| gnutron | p4_: in octals the read bit = 2 write = 4 execute = 1, just add them up to your liking. three fields user, group, others. | 00:05 |
| rodolfo | jken146: sorry.. normal package | 00:05 |
| MatBoy | Slart: yes, without the old one, but I don't want to type the new ones twice | 00:05 |
| MatBoy | jken146: I think the same, but I need to integrate it into a bash script :S | 00:05 |
| rodolfo | jken146: static skype no problems.. | 00:05 |
| runderwo | bthompson: could it be related to this? http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg23852.html | 00:05 |
| jken146 | rodolfo, which package do you have: skype or skype-static? | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | jedi06: if you want to access the host fs from the guest, theres options in vbox to allow access | 00:05 |
| Slart | MatBoy: then make a script that enters it twice ... call it lazy_passwd =) | 00:05 |
| Netham46 | "[notice caught SIGWINCH, shutting down gracefully" I'm getting that in my Apache error log, and nothing works. Anyone know how I can fix this? | 00:06 |
| gnutron | p4_: ugo+rwx would be 777 get it? | 00:06 |
| MatBoy | Slart: mhh, I can try that it echo's it twice | 00:06 |
| cplusplus | how could i unzip a bz2? | 00:06 |
| jedi06 | Wait ActionParsnip that is what I am trying to do access the host from the guest but to use ntfs-3g it wants me to locate NTFS partitions which there are none | 00:06 |
| rodolfo | jken146: now i installed skype-static.. and i can change my avatar.. but in skype package i can't change my avatr | 00:06 |
| runderwo | cplusplus: tar jxf <bz2> | 00:06 |
| cplusplus | jxf? | 00:06 |
| runderwo | cplusplus: or bzip2 -d if it's not a tar | 00:06 |
| kitche | cplusplus: bunzip <bz2> | 00:06 |
| jken146 | rodolfo, for me it is the other way around! lol | 00:07 |
| gnutron | cplusplus: tar -xvjf file.tar.bz2 | 00:07 |
| BCampbell | can I get some help with mounting an ntfs drive please? | 00:07 |
| rodolfo | jken146: what's your arch? | 00:07 |
| runderwo | cplusplus: j = bz2, x = extract, f = file | 00:07 |
| cplusplus | ok | 00:07 |
| jken146 | rodolfo, sorry, I don't understand you? | 00:07 |
| bthompson | runderwo, do i need to restart any service once i edit this file.. | 00:07 |
| gnutron | cplusplus: the -v is verbose | 00:07 |
| kitche | runderwo: just easier to omit the j last typing by one letter really | 00:07 |
| kitche | less* | 00:07 |
| n8tuser | BCampbell -> can we get you started with man mount | 00:07 |
| rodolfo | jken146: amd64, x86? | 00:07 |
| jedi06 | Action Parsnip the only access vbox i know of is installing guest additions which is apprently hard or impossible from a livecd environment | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | jedi06: shutdown the guest and check ALL of the guest options, one option will be local folders which you can add | 00:08 |
| p4_ | gnutron, are the numbers due to flag bits being set? | 00:08 |
| runderwo | bthompson: it looks like it's a problem in the driver that has recently been fixed. So you might need to wait for a new kernel release. | 00:08 |
| bthompson | runderwo, my card is an audigy1 so i don't know if that matters.. | 00:08 |
| jken146 | rodolfo, x86 | 00:08 |
| jedi06 | Ok I'll try that then ActionParsnip | 00:08 |
| rodolfo | jken146: so.. mine is amd64 | 00:08 |
| jken146 | rodolfo, so that's why there are two packages! | 00:08 |
| BCampbell | looked that over n8tuser...questions is why the ntfs config doesn't tool see it, only the windows drive | 00:09 |
| gnutron | BCampbell: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/mountpoint-dir i believe | 00:09 |
| jedi06 | how do you tell it to shutdown from in livecd command line? | 00:09 |
| bthompson | runderwo, i really don't get any sound at all....it says on this one it is low...but i get nothing at all when trying to record with sound recorder or audacity.. | 00:09 |
| gnutron | p4_: exactly if i understand you | 00:09 |
| jken146 | jedi06, sudo shutdown -h now | 00:09 |
| runderwo | bthompson: I don't know if it matters either. But assuming you have enabled the mic and the record volume is up, then there seems to be a drivers/hardware problem. | 00:09 |
| gnutron | p4_: a 6 is read/write where a 7 is read/write/execute | 00:09 |
| Stargazer | How do i use 'ssh' to get into my VPS ? | 00:09 |
| runderwo | bthompson: you could also try arecord. | 00:10 |
| n8tuser | BCampbell -> what ntfs config tool? what command have you issued? | 00:10 |
| cplusplus | yasm is not existing in version 0.6.1 for kubuntu 6? | 00:10 |
| BCampbell | apt-get install ntfs-config | 00:10 |
| n8tuser | Stargazer -> is your VPS running an sshd server? | 00:10 |
| p4_ | i see, thanks alot gnutron | 00:10 |
| BCampbell | gives me a ntfs config tool under apps -> system tools | 00:10 |
| chanweiyee | check your fstab file | 00:10 |
| cplusplus | hm | 00:10 |
| cplusplus | Found yasm 0.4.0 | 00:10 |
| cplusplus | Minimum version is yasm-0.6.1 | 00:10 |
| gnutron | BCampbell: you'll finf ntfs-config in your menu after installed. | 00:10 |
| bthompson | runderwo, how do i run that...i tried in terminal and i get a bunch of question marks scrolling by.. | 00:11 |
| BCampbell | gnutron - I can see it, but it doesn't see all the ntfs drives | 00:11 |
| Stargazer | N8tuser, most likely. | 00:11 |
| Netham46 | "[notice] caught SIGWINCH, shutting down gracefully" I'm getting that in my Apache error log, and nothing works. Anyone know how I can fix this? | 00:11 |
| n8tuser | BCampbell -> and did you attempt to configure? and what about mount? did you try to mount the partition? | 00:11 |
| RediXe | Is there a way to host a local repo with ubuntu packages? | 00:11 |
| gnutron | jedi06: sudo shutdown -h now | 00:11 |
| n8tuser | Stargazer -> most likely? you have to be sure, can you not verify? | 00:12 |
| DarkWolf29 | New to linux need help! Downloaded Skype for linux and it gives me a .tar.gz file. How do I install this program? I am using Flux as my wm of choice currently. | 00:12 |
| Stargazer | N8tuser, how would i verify ? | 00:12 |
| gnutron | BCampbell: sudo fdisk -l and examine which ones need mounting then add them to fstab | 00:12 |
| Guest_571nukisen | now i will try to install ubuntu on that amilo crap | 00:12 |
| AceBlade258 | how do i boot into a command line | 00:12 |
| bthompson | runderwo, i don't know what happened but after i ran arecord the mic is working was that supposed to happen.. | 00:12 |
| n8tuser | Stargazer -> well where is this VPS? did you install it yourself? look at the configs ? | 00:13 |
| AceBlade258 | not the grub command line, the actual ubuntu command line | 00:13 |
| Stargazer | N8tuser, it's on x10hosting. | 00:13 |
| unop | DarkWolf29, /msg ubottu skype | 00:13 |
| rascal999 | i have a tc1100 and im trying to turn the backlight on it off. The methods described here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571696&page=2) don't work and ive tried modprobe tc1100-wmi, anymore suggestions? | 00:13 |
| streenz | When I power up my PC GRUB loads Ubuntu by default.. is there a way within Ubuntu when I'm restarting to change the default to WinXP, but just for that one time? | 00:13 |
| runderwo | bthompson: arecord uses alsa, and those other things may be using OSS, which might be the issue. | 00:13 |
| rascal999 | i have Intrepid ibex | 00:13 |
| n8tuser | Stargazer -> why not ask them if their VPS is really running an sshd server so you can ssh into it? | 00:13 |
| runderwo | bthompson: OSS mode is only an emulation mode in ubuntu. | 00:13 |
| DarkWolf29 | thank you | 00:13 |
| gnutron | AceBlade258: its simpler to exit the desktop environment to get to the console, or prevent gdm/kde from launching on boot | 00:13 |
| bthompson | i am looking for an app like quicksilver for mac and or launchy for pc...what is the best solution for a program like this for ubuntu | 00:13 |
| Stargazer | N8tuser, they say i can use ssh into it. :< | 00:14 |
| AceBlade258 | streenz: when grub starts to load press escape | 00:14 |
| n8tuser | Stargazer -> okay, and what happens when you do ssh in? | 00:14 |
| === fallen is now known as Guest81929 | ||
| Stargazer | N8tuser, what's the syntax ? >.< | 00:14 |
| gnutron | streenz: no, unless you re-edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:14 |
| AceBlade258 | the gui dosn't load, i need to boot into a command line to install my graphics card driver | 00:14 |
| n8tuser | AceBlade258 -> boot into single user mode and fix it? | 00:15 |
| ziggles | hi all, i am having problems using vmbuilder -- "domain is undefined and host has no domain set" could someone point me in the right direction as to how i define a domain? thx | 00:15 |
| AceBlade258 | how so? | 00:15 |
| streenz | AceBlade258 - what I want to do is when Ubuntu is running, do something so that when I click "restart" I can walk away and the PC will log out of Ubuntu and power down, then power up and load windows without any input | 00:15 |
| Dr_willis | streenz, ive seen some distros thjat let you sort of do that.. but i think it can cause probvlems. its best to just set a 20-30 sec wait/menu delay on grub and select what you want. Its also possible to have it rember the last os you selected.. and always default to that | 00:15 |
| n8tuser | Stargazer -> if you ever get stuck someday, google is your friend, but typically ssh -l username remotehostipaddress | 00:15 |
| AceBlade258 | streenz: sorry, cant help you there, i'm kinda newbish | 00:15 |
| streenz | Dr_willis - ah, but there is no sort of option to choose the one I DIDNT load last? | 00:16 |
| AceBlade258 | rather how do i get into single user mode | 00:16 |
| bthompson | i am looking for an app like quicksilver for mac and or launchy for pc...what is the best solution for a program like this for ubuntu | 00:16 |
| zerwas_ | There is a process which consumpts 100% cpu and which i cannot even kill with "kill -9". Is there any chance to kill it? | 00:17 |
| gnutron | AceBlade258: do you see a boot menu ? if so just use recovery mode | 00:17 |
| AceBlade258 | ok | 00:17 |
| Dr_willis | streenz, niot that ive noticed.. You could go to the grub homepage and start reading the docs.. i may ov overlooked somthing like what you are wanting to do. its possible to set the 'default' line from a script i imagine. but ive not seen any tools in ubuntu that automate that | 00:17 |
| runderwo | zerwas_: probably not, but you can try kill -STOP | 00:17 |
| AceBlade258 | thanks | 00:17 |
| gnutron | AceBlade258: note your path and stuff may be different | 00:17 |
| drash | streenz: maybe grub-choose-default could help you out with , never tried it myself .. just an idea | 00:18 |
| BCampbell | n8tuser: fsdtab should read "/dev/sda1 /home/bruce/storage ntfs default 2,0"? that will give user the read write permissions? | 00:18 |

| Dante123 | I have a zydas zd1211 usb wireless dongle. I want to use it as an Access Point (software AP). I think this message here indicates that this is possible under linux: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Hardware/ZD1211-Driver-12712.shtml How do I figure out what version of the driver I am currently running under Ubuntu 8.10???? | 00:19 |
| p4_ | ok thats fixed, now i need to thoroughly learn what actually happened :D | 00:19 |
| gnutron | BCampbell: like this: /dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 | 00:19 |
| Claw6 | zerwas_, totem is the "explorer" of ubuntu | 00:19 |
| streenz | zerwas_, /usr/bin/killall totem .. that work? | 00:19 |
| n8tuser | BCampbell -> perhaps its ntfs-3g and defaults but to confirm, kindly man fstab sometimes i forget things too | 00:19 |
| BCampbell | gnutron thanks | 00:19 |
| zerwas_ | streenz> no | 00:19 |
| runderwo | zerwas_: check this bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/213053 | 00:19 |

| Asarana | hi everyone | 00:20 |
| streenz | zerwas_, sorry thats all I know.. haha .. personally I dont use Totem, I use VLC | 00:20 |

| jedi06 | unfortunately Parsnip they don't say how to do it | 00:21 |
| hsalem | i installed ubuntu 8.10 and i can't play any movies :( | 00:21 |
| runderwo | zerwas_: it sounds like you should subscribe to that bug and await a resolution. | 00:21 |
| Claw6 | hsalem, you need the codecs | 00:21 |
| zerwas_ | runderwo> i will do so, thank you very very much. In the meantime i should switch my media player | 00:21 |
| runderwo | zerwas_: VLC is suggested many times here :-) | 00:22 |

| EmacsFan | haselm: what kind of software are you using for playing movies? | 00:22 |
| hsalem | Claw I installed the codeces | 00:22 |

| hsalem | Claw no just double clicking on the movie it starts a player and then shuts down | 00:23 |
| Claw6 | hsalem, which player you are using ? | 00:23 |
| Claw6 | hsalem, may you should give a try to VLC? | 00:23 |

| Guest_571nukisen | A sort of | 00:24 |
| ziggles | cwillu yes | 00:24 |
| Claw6 | ziggles, you're right | 00:24 |

| kitche | _cb: well ubuntu uses openjava by default but if you want the commerical java yu want sun-java-jre or close to that name anyways | 00:31 |
| gnutron | hsalem: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh | 00:32 |

| jedi06 | where do the usb's get mounted ? | 00:32 |
| gnutron | jedi06: in /media/usb typically | 00:32 |
| nukisen | I am beginning to fall in love with Ubuntu | 00:32 |
| nukisen | I have tried xp | 00:33 |
| DasEI | jedi06: /media, unless you specified other | 00:33 |
| nukisen | Vista | 00:33 |
| nukisen | and win 7 | 00:33 |
| nukisen | All failed to install my laptop | 00:33 |
| Asarana | nukisen:how was your experience with them | 00:33 |
| hsalem | gnutron and then what? | 00:33 |
| streenz | jedi06, my USB stick shows up in /media/disk | 00:33 |
| gnutron | hsalem: it should play dvd's now | 00:34 |
| nukisen | Ubuntu got a blank screen | 00:34 |
| hsalem | gnutron but i need to run avi movies :( | 00:34 |
| nukisen | Then i just put the installation in failsafe graphik mode | 00:34 |
| DasEI | hsalem: install vlc | 00:34 |
| jedi06 | does it automatically go to /media/usb/usb | 00:34 |
| nukisen | Voila it worked | 00:34 |
| exiton | exit | 00:34 |
| hsalem | gnutron or dvdrip files | 00:34 |
| gnutron | hsalem: hrm, a few players run avi's i thought. | 00:34 |
| cweigle | Who all uses a laptop in here just wondering | 00:34 |
| hsalem | DasEI it is installed | 00:34 |
| linxuz3r | is this still possible i could not find the program in synaptic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup | 00:35 |
| kitche | nukisen: probably have to configure Xorg up since the autoconfig most likely can not work correctly for your hardware | 00:35 |
| DasEI | hsalem: it plays avi | 00:35 |
| nukisen | I think so to | 00:35 |
| hsalem | DasEI it shuts down | 00:35 |
| R0b0t1 | How do I remove the server image? Somehow it got installed and it autoboots to that, but I want to autoboot to generic. | 00:35 |
| nukisen | I have to wait until it is installed | 00:36 |

| LeventersoY | >) | 00:36 |
| hsalem | dsnaike what is compiz? | 00:37 |
| n8tuser | R0b0t1 -> adjust your menu.lst for whatever the default you wanted | 00:37 |

| DasEI | hsalem: if you just call vlc, does it shut down ? | 00:37 |
| gnutron | hsalem: got w32codecs installed? could be in that package, proper codecs, then xine, vlc etc should would. you might install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly also. | 00:37 |
| n8tuser | LeventersoY -> you have to ifdown eth0 assuming it is eth0 you're after | 00:37 |
| streenz | L-argiplex, does Gadmin-Rsync work to back up data from a local directory to a samba share? I tried a different program and it didnt register a "smb://directoryname" location as a valid directory | 00:37 |
| n8tuser | LeventersoY -> then ifup eth0 | 00:37 |
| dsnaike | you don't so not the problem | 00:37 |
| DasEI | gnutron: vlc brigs it's own codecs | 00:37 |
| hsalem | i start vlc and starts | 00:37 |
| DasEI | brings* | 00:37 |
| linxuz3r | L-argiplex: is there a package for gadmin-rsync | 00:37 |
| Dr_willis | streenz, what app dident like smb:// ?? that would be most likely only working for gnome apps. | 00:38 |
| hsalem | as soon as i drag the avi over it and drop it it shuts down | 00:38 |
| Netham46 | "[notice caught SIGWINCH, shutting down gracefully" I'm getting that in my Apache error log, and nothing works. Anyone know how I can fix this? | 00:38 |
| gnutron | DasEI: ok, appreciate that. | 00:38 |
| hsalem | i do not have compzi | 00:38 |
| n8tuser | Netham46 -> what triggered this? | 00:38 |
| R0b0t1 | n8tuser: is there a way to completely remove it? | 00:38 |
| streenz | Dr_willis, I cant remember off the top of my head, I tried it a month or so ago and gave up or got distracted | 00:38 |
| DasEI | hsalem: with vlc open media>openfile> blabla.avi ? | 00:38 |
| drash | LeventersoY: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-clearflush-dns-cache-in-ubuntu.html | 00:38 |
| dsnaike | hsalem try using the menu in the player to see if that works | 00:38 |
| Netham46 | n8tuser, semingly nothing. It was running perfectly for almost a year, then it went down earlier, and this is what I'm getting. | 00:39 |
| n8tuser | R0b0t1 -> easily, refer to your menu.lst of where this kernel and initrd resides, the unreference them and delete afterwards | 00:39 |
| L-argiplex | streenz: I have some admins running those across continents. They say its rsync, differential backups every day and its also encrypted via ssh/crypto | 00:39 |
| Dr_willis | streenz, the thing to rember is the smb:// and other fancy whatever:// stuff is pretty much gnomes speciual way of accesing special files/places :) kde uses kioslaves to do a similer thing. Not sure what gnome calls it. | 00:39 |
| L-argiplex | streenz: Im confident girl | 00:39 |
| hsalem | dsnaike/DasEI ever from File/Open/filename.avi it shuts down | 00:39 |
| n8tuser | Netham46 -> anyone was hitting your apache when it broke or just out of the blue? | 00:39 |
| Netham46 | n8tuser, I was browsing some forums I host when it started. | 00:40 |
| DasEI | hsalem: try a different avi ? | 00:40 |
| streenz | Dr_willis, so a smb://sharedfolder would be in my filesystem under a different name? or should rsync accept "smb://sharedfolder" as a directory? | 00:40 |
| dsnaike | hsalem u said you installed codecs can u specify | 00:40 |
| hsalem | DasEI same problem | 00:40 |
| apocolyps1 | i still cant get my grub menu to fit on my widescreen 1366x768 | 00:40 |
| n8tuser | Netham46 -> wait a second, browsing some forums? that is not your apache server, it is someone else at the remote site.. am confused | 00:40 |
| hsalem | the w32codes and others | 00:41 |
| Netham46 | n8tuser, it's my server, I host some forums that I was looking at. | 00:41 |
| Netham46 | n8tuser, I'll brb. | 00:41 |
| L-argiplex | hsalem: trolling are we ? | 00:41 |
| Dr_willis | streenz, gnome file manager 'browses' shares - it may or may not be 'mounting' them. use the mount command to see.. If its MOUNTED to a local directrory then every program would be able to access the things as if they were a local directrory. If its just browsing - then you canhave issues with non-gnome apps | 00:41 |
| hsalem | L-argiplex what do you mean by trolling? | 00:41 |
| DasEI | hsalem: can it play mp3 ? | 00:42 |
| hsalem | DasEI let me check | 00:42 |
| theory_ | hi | 00:42 |
| DasEI | hsalem: ownership of the avi's ? | 00:42 |
| Stargazer | I'm trying to enable repos on my VPS, how do i do this via the terminal ? | 00:42 |
| L-argiplex | hsalem: You are on irc so you logged on and joined #ubuntu, right ? | 00:43 |
| jrib | !repos > Stargazer | 00:43 |
| ubottu | Stargazer, please see my private message | 00:43 |
| hsalem | L-argiplex yep | 00:43 |
| n8tuser | Stargazer -> were you able to ssh in to that remote VPS yet? | 00:43 |
| throwt | are there source packages like srpms? I want to modify the default kernel but I want it packaged-like not just ad-oc | 00:43 |
| nukisen | hmm the screen is black again | 00:43 |
| dsnaike | hsalem try one more thing install smplayer and try it | 00:43 |
| nukisen | hope it is temporary | 00:43 |
| streenz | Dr_willis, okay I dont see it using the mount command, so I will have to mount it first, and then I should have no issues.. thanks, I didnt realize it might not be mounted | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Stargazer: you can sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and add whatever you wish, or uncomment what's already in there | 00:44 |
| Stargazer | Yeah, n8tuser. i just had to restart it. | 00:44 |
| Zenitur | I'm sorry, what is the name of russian language Ubuntu channel? | 00:44 |
| DasEI | krazyfingerz47: so no further idea then, maybe play around with the preferences, you should have sound | 00:44 |
| hsalem | dsnaike same problem with smplayer | 00:44 |
| theory_ | I'd like to isolate the sound streams of several apps .. like Ekiga, Skype .. the goal is to hear Skype in Ekiga ... hear Ekiga in another app ... does someone know how I can do it ? | 00:44 |

| gnutron | Netham46: its really not wise to browse the web with a web server, thats debateable but sigwinch is signal window change size signal. it may have tripped on something | 00:44 |
| Dr_willis | streenz, ages ago there were gui tools that browed/mounted the shares.. but gnome sort of tries to be smarter :) which works.. unitllyou start using non-gnome stuff | 00:44 |
| n8tuser | Stargazer -> umm, you can restart the vps remotely? or you're ssh | 00:44 |
| n8tuser | in to the host? | 00:44 |
| apocolyps1 | any1:.......cant get my grub menu to fit on my widescreen 1366x768 | 00:44 |

| Zenitur | jrub, ty. | 00:45 |
| Dr_willis | streenz, there MAY be some .gvfs directroy/path that you could access to get to the shres.. bt ive never explored it much | 00:45 |
| Stargazer | N8tuser, the host has a nice panel i use... it's seperate from the VPS so i can do it from there. | 00:45 |
| Friend | kick | 00:45 |

| theory_ | I tried to configure my ALSA and PulseAudio, but I can't find how to to it :/ | 00:45 |
| DasEI | hsalem: avis are broken sometimes, but the vlc won't shut down, but tell you, if the ownership is the prob, do : | 00:45 |
| n8tuser | apocolyps1 -> frb seems to max out at 1280x800 ? see what vga=795 resolution is | 00:45 |
| krazyfingerz47 | DasEI: =[ | 00:45 |
| hsalem | DasEI no, the avi works fine on windows | 00:45 |
| DasEI | hsalem: sudo hsalem chown /path/to/avi , assuming username is hsalem | 00:46 |
| Johannn | #django | 00:46 |
| hsalem | DasEI and also work fine on ubuntu under windows | 00:46 |
| dsnaike | hsalem I solved every video & audio problem by installing gstreamer&ffmpeg codecs in synaptic | 00:46 |
| n8tuser | Stargazer -> ah okay, sometimes without those additional info, we get confused as how people do things, | 00:46 |
| DasEI | hsalem: sudo chown hsalem /path/to/avi , assuming username is hsalem ,sorry | 00:46 |
| Stargazer | Sorry, n8tuser. | 00:46 |
| apocolyps1 | n8tuser: ok, have been trying heaps of vga= options but havent kept a record | 00:46 |
| theory_ | please ... can someone help me ? | 00:46 |
| Dr_willis | apocolyps1, try vga=ask :) and try them all. | 00:47 |
| DasEI | !ask | theory_ | 00:47 |

| hsalem | dsnaike how can i do that? | 00:47 |

| gnutron | hsalem: you have a desktop running, open synaptic, use search function, find gstreamer pluhins and ffmpeg ad install them. | 00:49 |
| n8tuser | whose using vlc to listen to shoutcast? do you find that sometimes you're unable to listen to them? is it the connection that prevents it? | 00:49 |
| n8tuser | nukisen -> fooled you eh? lol | 00:49 |
| nukisen | The installation was ready | 00:49 |
| nukisen | hahaha | 00:49 |
| DasEI | n8tuser: that works ? I use amarok for it | 00:49 |
| apocolyps1 | Dr_willis: all my xserver stuff comes up fine its just the grub menu at the start(i need the menu for multiple booting) every vga= settings i try only affect the xserver and splash screens | 00:49 |
| nukisen | I am so stupid sometimees | 00:50 |
| n8tuser | DasEI -> yes, shoutcast works in VLC, its just sometimes my connection i guess is far too slow | 00:50 |
| fw1 | e | 00:50 |
| n8tuser | liek right now | 00:50 |
| DasEI | nukisen: let's meet again ;-) | 00:50 |
| Yamaneko | Hello! I'm with a problem with .rmvb. When I try to execute it via MPlayer it give the message: "mplayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_audio_codec". Can someone help me? | 00:51 |
| DasEI | n8tuser: bandwith can be a reason, but also some servers are real weak | 00:52 |
| nukisen | hahah | 00:52 |
| nukisen | see u inside ubuntu instead | 00:52 |
| nukisen | it is ready | 00:52 |
| nukisen | and steady :) | 00:52 |
| henri | Hi everyone, i'm an ubuntu user - I recently thought i'd try and upgrade my nvidia drivers to the latest .run (rather than an apt packaged) version, two hours later and I think apt's managed to remove xserver-xorg which I think i've now reinstalled - i'm now using envy-ng to install my drivers (as i'd just like my desktop back to be honest!) - there are no errors, indeed nvidia stuff seems to load fine - but when gdm starts all the right s | 00:52 |
| henri | so i can't get to a login prompt with the nvidia drivers anymore, despite the configuration being quite similar | 00:52 |
| henri | if not the same before | 00:52 |
| Billy | does anyone know how to change ownership from root to the user | 00:52 |
| nukisen | lets see if i can get it out in the net | 00:52 |
| henri | Billy: chown user.group file1 file2 | 00:52 |
| n8tuser | DasEl i introduced this to a friend, and he was elated to find out there practically thousands of channels streaming via shoutcast. now all he has to have is to find time.. lol | 00:53 |
| Netham46 | <gnutron> Netham46: its really not wise to browse the web with a web server, thats debateable but sigwinch is signal window change size signal. it may have tripped on something I wasn't on the webserver, I was at school. | 00:53 |
| DasEI | henri:8.10 ? | 00:53 |
| Billy | is that the same for a directory | 00:53 |
| Netham46 | n8tuser, I'm back, btw. | 00:53 |
| henri | DasEI, yep | 00:53 |
| henri | Billy: yes, yoiu can also do it recursively (chown -R ...) | 00:53 |
| gnutron | henri: i think you need to run nvidia-settings from terminal but i would check the docs on that. | 00:53 |
| streenz | where is the option to stop it showing mounted disks/USB/CDs etc on the desktop as icons? | 00:54 |
| henri | gnutron: Interesting, i'm using the same config i've always used | 00:54 |
| peleg | Is this a known bug? I've seen some reports on the web, but I couldn't understand the resolution: evolution send my stuff in plaintext (!), even if I define a SSL/TLS connection, and hence dovecot refuses it. | 00:54 |
| n8tuser | Netham46 -> okay, did you bring snacks? am hungry..lol | 00:54 |
| henri | you think my xorg.conf needs remaking? | 00:54 |
| Netham46 | n8tuser, lol. | 00:54 |
| Stargazer | I need to FIX an issue that has been a pain in my side: beeping. like an error, ubuntu beeps ? yeah. instead of using my sound card it uses my speakers/headphones. anyone know how to permanently turn this off ? | 00:54 |
| Netham46 | n8tuser, but, know what's going on? =/ | 00:54 |
| gnutron | henri: you could back it up and try that. | 00:54 |
| DasEI | henri:.. uses xorg 7.4, often nasty to firmware, depends on card (me ati-user), backup xorg.conf and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:54 |
| peleg | This is what I saw, for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/257906 | 00:54 |
| henri | that'll just restore default xorg.conf (i.e. minimal, vesa) | 00:54 |
| henri | from what i've seen | 00:55 |
| n8tuser | Netham46 -> about that sigwinch? i think gnutron is correct about that | 00:55 |
| henri | (DasEl) | 00:55 |
| hsalem | guys .... I am much grateful for you trying to help me | 00:55 |
| DasEI | henri:yes | 00:55 |
| henri | so that'll work | 00:55 |
| DasEI | hsalem ? mp3 ? | 00:55 |
| l3d | is there a way to back up the teme I have made with out backing up the whole .theme folder? | 00:55 |
| henri | but still no nvidia, and only one screen (DasEl) | 00:55 |
| hsalem | I'll try to install the gstreamer and ffmpeg and see what I can do | 00:55 |
| boot_loop | heya folka | 00:55 |

| hsalem | DasEI i just can find a single mp3 on my laptop to check it out :) | 00:55 |

| Doonz | wrong* | 00:56 |
| henri | DasEI, As i say it was working before, and i've now got this black screen issue.. | 00:56 |
| Netham46 | n8tuser, and the error reoccurs every time I try to start my website | 00:56 |
| Billy | it tells me its not permitted | 00:56 |
| henri | Billy: You'll have to use sudo if you're not aleady root.. | 00:56 |
| henri | sudo chown ... | 00:56 |
| n8tuser | Netham46 -> umm can you post in pastebin the logs of apache or perhaps ask the nice folks at #apache to help troubleshoot? | 00:56 |
| kitche | Stargazer: you can rmmod pcspkr I believe that is the kernel module for that been a while | 00:56 |
| dsnaike | hsalem did u install ubuntu-restricted -extras | 00:57 |

| brianwillis1984 | i have a old system pent II 400mhz with 192mb | 01:01 |
| kitche | peleg: well add more information hence what that bug report is asking for | 01:01 |

| DasEI | !minimal | brianwillis1984 | 01:01 |
| hsalem | DasEI you want me to try mp3 with vlc? | 01:01 |
| ubottu | brianwillis1984: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 01:01 |
| tecredra | how can i rename a .desktop file? i can only change its alias from nautilus and terminal doesn't take too kindly to the mu character | 01:01 |

| Billy | im root and it still says operation not permited | 01:01 |
| peleg | kitche, I don't see what other information I can add. it's as simple as that, really. I tell evolution to send my login information using SSL/TLS, but it does it in plaintext; completely ignores me. End of story... | 01:02 |

| Dezine | Looking in volume control everything is turned up | 01:15 |
| peleg | Anacranom, there is no #evolution as far as I know, but I didn't do a long research about it. I don't know if it is ubuntu-specific: I have found in the web mostly about ubuntu, but also one complaint with fedore, something quite similar | 01:15 |
| jp_sf | Dezine: I had to put everything in red to start to hear something | 01:15 |
| aboucher | should i upgrade to 8.10 with ubuntu server cd? | 01:15 |
| vertana | Dezine, I had that problem before and the culprit was that while my Alsa volumes were up my OSS ones were not | 01:15 |
| aboucher | or go clean install | 01:15 |
| vertana | This shouldn't be as much as a problem these days but you could still be using OSS drivers (which are fed through Alsa, which is why it may affect it) | 01:16 |
| Anacranom | peleg, i'm doing some testing on sled11, will compare to my Ubuntu stats | 01:16 |
| peleg | Anacranom, hey, if you find out anything, let me know :-) | 01:17 |
| onexused | aboucher: I don't know how it is for others, but I had problems trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10. | 01:17 |

| mrpockets | what the hell happened when I pressed Windows+R | 01:19 |
| tom0360 | Do I have to( or can I ) disable SSH root login on a default Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) install, or is it off by default or something not to be concerned with as it is not a server? | 01:19 |
| mrpockets | and how the hell do i disable it? | 01:19 |
| linux_guy | I have installed virtualbox-ose and I cannot seem to get it to start under apps>accs>vboxose | 01:19 |
| vertana | Onexused: Have you tried booting into other kernels/os or otherwise verified it is NOT a hardware issue? | 01:20 |
| istvan_ | i need to ssh to a mac, how might I do this? | 01:20 |
| onexused | vertana: It's not. When I did a clean install, it was fine. | 01:20 |
| vertana | Onexused: Another way is to try a usb keyboard (assuming it's either hardware issue or driver issue) | 01:20 |
| istvan_ | i'm on the lan, and it's ip is 192.168.15.194 | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | istvan_, install a ssh server on the mac | 01:20 |
| onexused | vertana: A clean install of 8.10 after that, that is. | 01:20 |
| istvan_ | so I do need to install a ssh server? does the os come with one? | 01:20 |
| gnutron | mrpockets: it should be off by default unless you enabled root, if sshd is not running its a moot issue, not to worry. | 01:20 |
| rww | tom0360: Default Ubuntu installs don't have the root account enabled, so you can't login to it over ssh even if PermitRootLogin (or whatever it is) is enabled in sshd_config. | 01:21 |
| Dr_willis | istvan_, go ask in a mac channel perhaps? | 01:21 |
| eseven73 | linux_guy: try typing 'VirtualBox' in a terminal it is case sensitive | 01:21 |
| vertana | Onexused: I had that happen to me on a 8.04 install and I had to use a usb keyboard because of a driver issue. | 01:21 |

| gnutron | mrpockets: sorry | 01:23 |
| mrpockets | lol | 01:23 |
| mrpockets | not a problem | 01:23 |
| rww | gnutron: no problem, happens to me all the time :) | 01:23 |
| vertana | Onexused: The only thing that jumps out at me as obvious is that (If I remember right) from 8.04 to 8.10 Ubuntu switched to the evdev driver to improve hotplugging and so your drivers may have not uninstalled for the new one to come in and your X may have gotten "confused" between the two. | 01:23 |
| linux_guy | i tried add/remove, didnt work, then removed it. then i got the package from virtualbox.org | 01:23 |
| gnutron | rww: i spilled coffee and got side tracked | 01:23 |
| tom0360 | rww is there anything in a default install that I might need to disable or change to secure the system. | 01:24 |
| linux_guy | esev, i've tried every way i know how, it shows up in the apps menu | 01:24 |
| onexused | vertana: I see. That might be a useful thing to look into if it happens again. | 01:24 |

| vertana | obvious* | 01:24 |
| eseven73 | linux_guy: i dont think it matters | 01:25 |

| Dr_willis | beckster, you meant o say it 'zoomed' in on the desktop? | 01:26 |
| beckster | yes | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | thats a compiz feature. :) try windowshey+mousewheel to zoom in/out perhaps? | 01:26 |
| gnutron | beckster: i think Dr_willis is right, sounds like a compiz key-binding | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | i will say that win+r dont do anything here.. buti do disable a lot of the compiz extras | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | win+mousewheel does zoom however in and out :) | 01:27 |
| beckster | thanks guys! | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | there really need to be a nice tool that reads the compiz settings/conmfigs and shows a guide to what all keys are bound to what featrues. | 01:28 |
| gnutron | i never use the 'windows' key..... bad mojo | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | gnutron, its the only key on this keyboard thats not got all the letters wornm off :) | 01:28 |

| InterGalactic010 | Hi everyone, would anyone be free to help on a quick question I have please? | 01:39 |
| vertana | Silent: I don't know too much about that (as I Have not tried that USB adaptor myself), but I do know zd1211rw is more tailored for another chipset, and the chipset you are trying to use has its own specific driver. In almost all cases it makes more sense to use the driver specifically made for it. Also, the first hit someone had to modify the source so while YMMV it is a good idea to try the instructions first hit and if not just keep a tab on what modul | 01:39 |
| vertana | es it inserted so you can take them out if they do not work as promised. (keep tabs with lsmod before and after installation) | 01:39 |

| InterGalactic010 | Hi everyone | 01:41 |
| wat | hi intergalactic010 | 01:41 |
| vertana | Inter: Hi! How may we help you? ^^ | 01:41 |
| InterGalactic010 | Hi Wat, thought I was talking to myself back then. | 01:41 |
| squirt33 | where is the jaunty jackalope source repository? | 01:41 |
| wat | whats the problem | 01:41 |
| gnutron | linxuz3r: cp -p preserves permissions | 01:41 |
| InterGalactic010 | I have to boot into Safe Graphics Mode each time I start the system, I load the Nvidia drivers successfully in Safe Graphics Mode, but after a reboot it will only work if I boot into Safe Graphics Mode again, and this seems to bypass the Nvidia graphics drivers I installed. Any help really appreciated. Thanks. | 01:41 |
| vertana | Inter: I apologize for that; I was helping someone else momentarily :) | 01:41 |
| wat | i dont have ubuntu installed so i will help the best i can | 01:41 |
| InterGalactic010 | Hi Vertana | 01:41 |
| silentContender | vertana: How would I get the build-essentials download (the wireless is for another computer, no internet connection) | 01:41 |
| wat | what happens if you dont boot safe graphics | 01:42 |
| InterGalactic010 | I'm new to this IRC chat, didn't know if I was coming through. All good. | 01:42 |
| linxuz3r | gnutron: what about user and owner | 01:42 |
| InterGalactic010 | Wat, the computer screen goes black after loading up, I can get to a terminal screen | 01:42 |
| vertana | Silent: The only thing I can tell you to get packages with no 'net connection would be to go packages.ubuntu.com and find the build-essentials pkg for your architecture and distro version. Then take it back to the original computer. | 01:42 |
| InterGalactic010 | by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 | 01:43 |
| silentContender | thanks | 01:43 |
| kesi | Can anyone recommend an alternative bittorrent client to vuze that has a plugin like moblock, safepeer, or peerguardian and that runs on ubuntu? | 01:43 |
| gnutron | linxuz3r: yeah it should preserve those also | 01:43 |
| vertana | Silent: the packages on the website are the same ones you can get from official repositories. | 01:43 |
| silentContender | inter: sorry about interrupting | 01:43 |
| Ketrel | Has anyone figured out anything about the problem with blank TTYs with nvidia drivers? | 01:43 |
| temppy | kesi: have you tried deluge? I don't know what those are... | 01:43 |
| drash | kesi: transmission and deluge seems to fit that bill | 01:43 |
| InterGalactic010 | I have spent 9hrs so far, getting the drivers installed, and setting up Ubuntu. Good fun, but not getting very far at present | 01:43 |
| kesi | temppy, drash, I'll look into those thanks | 01:44 |
| opera | i always want to know how you type the name whom you talk to ? | 01:44 |
| vertana | Inter: What graphics card do you have? I have a 6150LE and I cannot restart X or even logout (A bug with the actual hardware). | 01:44 |
| gnutron | opera: type the first few letters and hit the tab key | 01:44 |
| vertana | opera: it's more a custom/courtesy thing to do to avoid confusion. | 01:45 |
| gnutron | vertana: well put | 01:45 |
| InterGalactic010 | I have NVidia 8600 GTX - I have downloaded the drivers from the nvidia site, and they install well, and the screen then goes to maximum res. Only problem is, it doesn't seem to save the config to disk. | 01:45 |
| opera | gun_ ,thank you | 01:45 |
| joe2 | hi guys been using ubuntu for a week and I love it, but I am having a little trouble with it, I have a intel 64 bit processor so I need help installing the 64 bit swfdec drivers. | 01:45 |
| jedi06 | I'm on vbox host:XP guest:ubuntu I'm trying to make a shared folder on XP that both can access. I am trying to use ntfs-3g but it has almost non-existent usage docs: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/index.html#usage Can someone help me set this up? | 01:46 |
| vertana | Inter: Have you tried the drivers in the repo? | 01:46 |
| tecredra | how do i put a .desktop file to a certain category of the applications menu? i've added Category=AudioVideo; to it but it will not appear there. do i need to somehow refresh it? | 01:46 |
| vertana | gnutron: Thank you. | 01:46 |
| gnutron | InterGalactic010: have you run nvidia-settings, i dont run nvidia but i think its a good thing | 01:46 |
| InterGalactic010 | I ought to point out, I'm running of a 4gb usb drive. It has all the space available on it. | 01:46 |
| === tonyyarusso is now known as Guest12575 | ||
| joe2 | yeah I cant find though | 01:46 |
| joe2 | dont know how to search for them | 01:46 |
| InterGalactic010 | vertana, I have. | 01:46 |
| linux_guy | wat, you here? | 01:46 |
| InterGalactic010 | gnutron, I have. | 01:46 |
| vertana | Inter: Did you have the same issues with that driver? | 01:46 |
| linux_guy | divxjunky is a cool nick | 01:47 |
| gnutron | InterGalactic010: that could be a flash drive issue, i have no experience with that. | 01:47 |
| Brack10 | Hi is it possible to set the balance of audio output via the mplayer command? the man page only tells you how to do it on video capture and after the program starts as far as I can tell | 01:47 |
| DivXjunky | hi guys | 01:47 |
| drash | InterGalactic010: did you activate the restricted driver applet and checked if something isn't activated ? | 01:47 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | erm, i feel extreamly newb, folder vnc* is owneed by courpse, yet i cant rm -r it, denied permission. | 01:47 |
| DasEI | how do I put a letter from ascii tab in terminal ? | 01:47 |
| InterGalactic010 | Those drivers, plus the ones under [hardware driver] update do not work at all, even under safe graphics mode. | 01:47 |
| vertana | Inter: Notice we all want to know if you have tried more than one driver (to see if it is a hardware issure) | 01:47 |
| kesi | drash, transmission doesn't seem to support any blocklists | 01:48 |
| rebel | hi, where can I find information about ubuntu-supported monitors? in particular, I need to know if the Samsung Ubisync 7" USB monitor (ships with SyncMaster 2263DX) works | 01:48 |
| dayo_ | tecredra: .desktop file would be a hidden file. any file beginning with dot it hidden | 01:48 |
| drash | kesi: it sure does, look under prefs, i believe it's the network tab | 01:48 |
| DasEI | !hardware | rebel | 01:48 |
| ubottu | rebel: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 01:48 |
| gnutron | CoUrPsE|DeAd: try rm -rf or sudo rm -rf | 01:48 |
| __dean__ | DasEI: CTRL-SHIFT-U, then asicc code in hex | 01:48 |
| InterGalactic010 | drash, what do you mean isn't activated? The drivers I DL from nvidia are activated in safe graphics mode, just not after a reboot. | 01:48 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | yeah, but cant empty it from trash. | 01:48 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | how can i empty trash as root? | 01:48 |
| tecredra | dayo_: that's not what i meant. i have a shortcut to my media player in wine, foobar2000.desktop, and i want to put it into the sound & video menu | 01:48 |
| Brack10 | man moc | 01:48 |
| Brack10 | oops | 01:48 |
| drash | InterGalactic010: I meant to ask if they are active in that hardware drivers thingy, on xubuntu here, migth differ somewhat | 01:49 |
| dayo_ | CoUrPsE|DeAd: careful with that rm -rf | 01:49 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | yeah anno. | 01:49 |
| gnutron | CoUrPsE|DeAd: the trash is buggy usually it will be empty when x restarts, i never use the trash myself | 01:49 |
| InterGalactic010 | vertana, don't believe it is a hardware issue. As in the graphics card works well, under windows, and also in safe graphics mode with nvidia drivers installed. | 01:49 |
| joe2 | I need help finding the swfdec drivers from the repo, | 01:49 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | ahh right, k sorted then. | 01:49 |
| rebel | DasEI: thx, though there's no information about monitors | 01:49 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Theres prob my problem then. | 01:50 |
| InterGalactic010 | drash, they seem activated to me. | 01:50 |
| gnutron | CoUrPsE|DeAd: yeah be very careful using sudo, shouldnt need it | 01:50 |
| SJr|Work | Why does anyone care about how long it takes Ubuntu to get started, I think either your machine stays on all the time, or it is in standby or hibernate and already fast. | 01:50 |
| rodolfo_ | hello there | 01:50 |
| drash | InterGalactic010: any clues in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 01:50 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | yep, im not that noob, just something that was buging me. | 01:50 |
| dayo_ | tecredra: don't have any real experience with wine. sorry | 01:50 |
| gnu2it2 | can you use nice on an already running process ? | 01:50 |
| lifenova | SJr|Work: some people use laptops and keep their computer on | 01:50 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | thanks guys, :) | 01:50 |
| InterGalactic010 | drash, interesting, I'll give it another go, and then check the log. | 01:50 |
| DasEI | __dean__:googled that before, doesn't work (E6h) http://users.physik.fu-berlin.de/~goerz/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/ascii.gif | 01:50 |
| gnutron | CoUrPsE|DeAd: its definetly buggy, the trash business that is. | 01:50 |
| lifenova | SJr|Work: can't* keep their computer on | 01:50 |
| NodeRazor | Hi guys =) | 01:51 |
| vertana | Inter: Have you tried running nvidia-xconfig? IF that does not work dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (as root and only if you're in 8.10 should you use that switch) and then manually insert "nvidia" under driver. | 01:51 |
| tecredra | dayo_: well it shouldn't really matter if it's wine or not in regard of adding a .desktop file to the applications menu | 01:51 |
| SJr|Work | lifenova why not standby or hibernate? | 01:51 |
| bonhoffer | what is the best way to create an iso in gnome? | 01:51 |
| dayo_ | lifenova: yes i rarely switch of my laptop | 01:51 |
| bonhoffer | would rather not use command prompt? | 01:51 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Right, didnt know that. | 01:51 |
| NodeRazor | Any one know how to extract rar and zip files in multiple folders ? | 01:51 |
| NodeRazor | I know I need to use something like exec() | 01:51 |
| === tonyyarusso is now known as Guest5946 | ||
| drash | InterGalactic010: gdluck, can be quite the log but lok for (WW) and esp. (EE) lines | 01:51 |
| lifenova | SJr|Work: I'm not sure as I don't have a laptop, but personally using standby/hibernate on my desktop is very buggy | 01:51 |
| SJr|Work | Weaksause | 01:51 |
| __dean__ | bonhoffer: dd if=/dev/cdrom0 of=image.iso bs=2k | 01:52 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | NodeRazor, trying using `rar` sudo apt-get install rar | 01:52 |
| vertana | lifenova: This is a common problem, especially if you use an NVIDIA card. | 01:52 |
| __dean__ | bonhoffer: in terminal | 01:52 |
| NodeRazor | =) Thanks but I already have rar | 01:52 |
| backenfutter | I was wondering, can somebody here explain to me the color codes of the diagrams in htop? | 01:52 |
| vertana | NodeRazor: Don't forget unrar also. | 01:52 |
| NodeRazor | What I am asking is how to extract files from sub-folders | 01:52 |
| NodeRazor | I have unrar | 01:52 |
| NodeRazor | =) | 01:52 |
| dayo_ | lifenova: exactly. i don't standy/hibernate. just lock screen and close my lid for transport. | 01:52 |
| __dean__ | bohoffer: or use rightclick on icon, copy disk | 01:53 |
| jedi06 | Not even one person can help me? | 01:53 |
| temppy | dayo_: isnt that bad for HDDs? | 01:53 |
| InterGalactic010 | Thanks everyone for your help! I'm off to try Vertana's advice, and also check the log file Drash mentions. Thanks again. | 01:53 |
| NodeRazor | so if I write a shell script for example and run like unrar [folder] it will unrar all the files in the folder and sub-folders automaticly. | 01:53 |
| dayo_ | temppy: it is? how come? | 01:53 |
| vertana | NodeRazor: When you say subfolders, are we talking about going into a rar file and extracting sub directory B w/o directory A? | 01:53 |
| vertana | InterGalactic010: Goodluck! | 01:53 |
| NodeRazor | no | 01:54 |
| mib_xmowur6k | i am getting this error on start up "failed to load the nvidia kernel module" anyone know why or how to fix it | 01:54 |
| NodeRazor | Its ok, I'll find it. | 01:54 |
| NodeRazor | I found this small script before, just need to due more digging. | 01:54 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: sudo modprobe nvidia | 01:54 |
| NodeRazor | extract all Folders Recursively | 01:54 |
| NodeRazor | and sub-folders | 01:55 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | um. | 01:55 |
| temppy | dayo_: well, a HDD has the spinning disc, with the magnetic head. I thought that if you jostle it (like transporting a running laptop), you risk having the head run into the disk. | 01:55 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | using rar e file.rar | 01:55 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: IF that does not work try reinstalling the nvidia drivers and making sure they are enabled under Restricted Drivers. | 01:55 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | it extracts files + subdirs. | 01:55 |
| dayo_ | temppy: i hadn't even considered that | 01:55 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | assumeing you have 'rar' installed. | 01:55 |
| NodeRazor | it extracts files + files in subfolders yes | 01:55 |
| wat | unrar hehe | 01:55 |
| vertana | CoUrPsE|DeAd: He had rar and unrar installed. | 01:56 |
| NodeRazor | =) thanks wat but I know that much LOL | 01:56 |
| wat | i was saying hehe at unrar | 01:56 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: thanks but i get this error "FATAL: Module nvidia not found." | 01:56 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Humm. | 01:56 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: If that is the case you do not have the NVIDIA drivers properly installed. | 01:56 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | then weird, coz rar e filenzme.rar has always doe it for me., | 01:56 |
| dayo_ | temppy: but i read somewhere recently that laptops now have some kind of anti-fall protection for the hdd. like when there is sudden motion, the head backs off the disk. not sure how it works. i'll see if i can find the article. saw it on reddit. | 01:57 |
| temppy | dayo_: I guess just make sure to have backups. I mean, if it works for you, why not? But, I think there is some sort of risk. I don't know at all how big it is. I think its why SSDs are becoming popular for laptops/netbooks; no moving parts. | 01:57 |
| NodeRazor | not if you want to extract lots of files... | 01:57 |
| kesi | drash, in transmission? | 01:57 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: Have you tried to install them Administration > Hardware Drivers? | 01:57 |
| temppy | dayo_: probably an accelerometer. | 01:57 |
| dayo_ | temppy: SSDs still have the size issue, tho | 01:57 |
| lifenova | dayo: I've read that before too... problem with that I've heard is that sometimes it's a little sensitive and slows you down when you're legitimately working | 01:57 |
| temppy | yeah | 01:57 |
| dayo_ | temppy: yeah | 01:57 |
| kesi | drash, nevermind, think I found it. | 01:57 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: Just go under there and it should say Nvidia driver (recommended) and make sure it is activated and it may require a restart. | 01:57 |
| NodeRazor | http://paste2.org/p/131046 | 01:58 |
| Miesco | I messed up alsa, I deleted .asoundrc.asoundconf | 01:58 |
| Miesco | How do I get it to work again? | 01:58 |
| NodeRazor | this will extract rar files in the folder | 01:58 |
| drash | kesi: it's the "peers" tab sorry in transmission prefs | 01:58 |
| dayo_ | lifenova: yeah i was wondering about that | 01:58 |
| NodeRazor | but now I need to be able to extract files in sub-folders too | 01:58 |
| NodeRazor | without changing to that folder manually =) | 01:58 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: hmmmm i installed them in synaptic package manager, what else can i do to install or check there installed | 01:58 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: Give me one second and I'll look for you. | 01:58 |
| gnutron | Miesco: run asoundconf from a terminal, asoundconf --help | 01:59 |
| illume | hi. how to install realtime-lsm in intrepid? | 01:59 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: thanks alot, this is giving me such a headache | 01:59 |
| illume | realtime-lsm-source doesn't appear to exist anymore in intrepid? | 01:59 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: The MAIN package you need is nvidia-glx-177 (If you have a newer card, which most do) and it's no problem. SYnaptic should tell you all the other packages you need to make the glx one work. | 02:00 |
| linux_guy | im downloading vmware for linux, should i get tar image or rpm image? | 02:00 |
| illume | hrmm... maybe a reboot will fix it! brb | 02:00 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: Generally though it's MUCH easier to do under Hardware Drivers (or Restricted Drivers if you have an older Ubuntu) | 02:00 |
| __dean__ | linux_guy: get the tarball | 02:00 |
| n8tuser | linux_guy -> for ubuntu, it is deb, for other linux maybe rpm | 02:00 |
| lifenova | Can anyone help with usplash troubles? It hasn't worked for me since I install ubuntu hardy... I've now upgraded to 8.10 and it still hasn't worked... I've tried removing the package and reinstalling, and I've changed the theme too to no avail. I remember that the splash did show when I was using the LiveCD. Not a major problem, but something I want to try to fix | 02:00 |
| __dean__ | linux_guy: you could get the rpm and convert it with alien also | 02:01 |
| linux_guy | im so confused i know a prog called alien that can convert rpm to deb | 02:01 |
| lifenova | By not working, I mean that there is no splash screen, just a black screen while the system boots | 02:01 |
| NodeRazor | Found one for tar.z files, now will recoded it http://paste2.org/p/131047 | 02:01 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: easy fix | 02:01 |
| Scunizi | I'm trying to configure a fax modem.. how do I discover it tty location? | 02:01 |
| Cpudan80 | !broken-usplash | lifenova | 02:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about broken-usplash | 02:01 |
| __dean__ | linux_guy: You can use alien or you can use the tarball and compile from source | 02:01 |
| Cpudan80 | argh | 02:01 |
| __dean__ | linux_guy: either one will work | 02:01 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: uno momento por favor | 02:01 |
| linux_guy | ok thanks | 02:01 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: ok i will have a try, i am using a fresh install of 10.8 (not upgrade) and its a Geforce 8600M GT | 02:01 |
| linux_guy | thanks guys | 02:01 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: sure thing, thanks for your help | 02:01 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: that used to be the factoid..... | 02:02 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: Yes, 177 is the driver you need. | 02:02 |
| Cpudan80 | !about | 02:02 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about about | 02:02 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: I didnt need the - | 02:02 |
| dayo_ | !usplash | 02:02 |
| ubottu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 02:02 |
| Cpudan80 | !brokenusplash | lifenova | 02:02 |
| ubottu | lifenova: Supported screen resolutions are sometimes detected incorrectly, causing the splash screen to not appear and slowing down boot. Edit /etc/usplash.conf and change "xres" and "yres" to a resolution that your graphics system certainly supports, then run « sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu » | 02:02 |
| dayo_ | lol | 02:03 |
| anna | for a dektop that has 8GB of ram which version of linux kernel is best 64 bit or 32bit with PAE ? | 02:03 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: hehe, I just found that myself on the factoids page. Thanks for your assistance :) | 02:03 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: thats my factoid! :-P | 02:03 |
| Cpudan80 | That was a pain in the butt to find the answer too | 02:03 |
| dayo_ | anna: anything above 4gb is 64bit territory | 02:03 |
| Cpudan80 | to* | 02:03 |
| vertana | anna: to utilize the RAM 64-bit. | 02:03 |
| varun | guys how do you change what interface the system sounds use? | 02:03 |
| Cpudan80 | A lot of people with laptops seem to have the usplash prob | 02:03 |
| anna | ok | 02:04 |
| dayo_ | anna: i have that issue on our servers. they're upwards of 8gb ram but on 32bit. need to migrate them to 64bit | 02:04 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: desktop here, but whatever | 02:04 |
| vertana | Cpudan80: That's weird. That's the only problem I've never had on a laptop lol. | 02:04 |
| Alex_21 | Hi, all. Is there a guide for configuring Dansgardian and another server to limit the use of bandwidth for particular computers? | 02:04 |
| Alex_21 | Thanks | 02:04 |
| Alex_21 | Please | 02:04 |
| Alex_21 | Lol | 02:04 |
| FloodBot1 | Alex_21: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:04 |
| varun | like the sound in rythmbox works, but not the sound from the system (eg Login sound) or firefox, any ideas? | 02:04 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: well that seems to fit your description anyway (the problem that is) | 02:04 |
| dayo_ | Alex_21: squid? | 02:04 |
| anna | dayo:would a 32 bit enable kernel use all the 8GB of ram ? | 02:04 |
| linux_guy | when i use apt-get do i ALWAYS need to use 'sudo'? | 02:04 |
| temppy | anna: I thinks both have their problems. Ive heard pae is buggy, but so is 64bit. Do you really need all that RAM? Are you running a server or something? | 02:04 |
| dayo_ | anna: not that i know of | 02:05 |
| vertana | varun: does the sound work on other program even when rhythmbox is not on? | 02:05 |
| lifenova | linux_guy: you don't need sudo if you type apt-get moo or apt-get --help, if I recall correctly | 02:05 |
| nickrud | linux_guy, yes | 02:05 |
| lifenova | Hm, the xres and yres parameters in my usplash.conf file match the resolution I'm currently using | 02:06 |
| gnutron | varun: in the menu system/preferences/sound sound tab and run the tests. also ensure you use alsa in general tab settings. | 02:06 |
| Alex_21 | Hey, maybe Squid, but a tutorial is greatly appreciated, or at least suggestions for search keywords would be appreciated | 02:06 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: although it says done at the end, if get this error in the details section | 02:06 |

| vertana | varun: Sometimes Gstreamer conflicts with some other sound systems (This happens to me if I have VLC up and then try to play a song on rhythmbox with VLC still up) | 02:06 |
| __dean__ | linux_guy: not for apt-get moo but you for installing stuff because that needs root | 02:06 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: Which error? | 02:06 |
| varun | vertana: it dosnt work with rythmbox turned off | 02:07 |
| dayo_ | Alex_21: hang on, let me give u some of my squid bookmarks | 02:07 |
| lifenova | !ask | andypls1 | 02:07 |
| 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. :-) | 02:07 |
| nickrud | linux_guy, a rule of thumb is anything that alters/adds any file outside of your home requires root access, either with sudo or gksu | 02:07 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: error could not locate nvidia.ko for module nvidia in the dkms tree | 02:07 |
| linxuz3r | whats a good way to copy directories and files while preserving root and permission? | 02:07 |
| gnutron | lifenova: moo = command not found, my box is broked :( j/k | 02:07 |
| varun | vertana: i think it is an interface issue, | 02:07 |
| lifenova | gnutron: haha | 02:07 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: then is goes on about running a dkms build for the kernel | 02:07 |
| andypls1 | lifenova: my resolution got stuck at 800x600 and there's no way to fix it. i am using Nvidia | 02:08 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: sudo aptitude install dkms | 02:08 |
| __dean__ | gnutron: apt-get moo just draws an ASCII art picture of a Ccow | 02:08 |
| varun | vertana: like that is, only one of the interface works, in Soud Preferences in gnome, sound only works if i put it in HDA Intel OSS | 02:08 |
| varun | vertana: on the other interfaces, it makes a clicky noise | 02:08 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: Yes, DKMS is so stuff can be inserted into kernel while it's running. You need this to insert modules dynamically. | 02:08 |
| gnutron | __dean__: i wouldnt be surprised if it actually did! | 02:08 |
| varun | vertana: and thats exactly the same noise i get with ubuntu system sounds such as the login sound | 02:08 |
| jackson_ | ckson | 02:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, HAve you installed nvidia-settings | 02:09 |
| temppy | anna: personally, I would forget about the 5g of ram you loose, and just go with 32bit for starters (I have never used much more and 0.5g. The rest of my 2g just goes to caching). If you need more, reinstall. Anyway, good luck | 02:09 |
| vertana | varun: So, rhythmbox works fine for sound, but NOTHING else does? | 02:09 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: yes i did | 02:09 |
| linxuz3r | whats a good way to copy directories and files while preserving root and permission? | 02:09 |
| andypls1 | apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 02:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, what happened when you ran it | 02:09 |
| andypls1 | well at first the resolution was too high | 02:09 |
| vertana | linuxuz3r: Just use the cp command as root. | 02:09 |
| andypls1 | and i didn't like it | 02:09 |
| varun | vertana: oh no most of the applications works with sound like vlc..etc....but sound dosnt work from firefox and system sounds (again such as when i login the noise dosnt work) | 02:10 |
| usser | linxuz3r: cp -R -p | 02:10 |
| gnutron | linxuz3r: cp -p didnt preserve stuff for you? | 02:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, Keep it on one line please, dont break it up | 02:10 |
| andypls1 | so then i tried to get to a better resolution by changing some settings, and now it got stuck at 800X600 | 02:10 |
| varun | vertana: i hear clicky noises instead | 02:10 |
| usser | linxuz3r: -p tells cp to preserve permissions -R, tells to copy recursively | 02:10 |
| vertana | varun: I don't know off the top of my head but give me a few minutes and hopefully the 'net helps us here :) | 02:10 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow:ok | 02:10 |
| linxuz3r | guys cp: failed to preserve ownership | 02:11 |
| bthompson | i am looking for an app like quicksilver for mac and or launchy for pc...what is the best solution for a program like this for ubuntu | 02:11 |
| === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 | ||
| __dean__ | linxuz3r: cp -rp also works -- you can combine the arguments and the r can be lowercase | 02:11 |
| linxuz3r | guys | 02:11 |
| linxuz3r | guys cp: failed to preserve ownership | 02:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, run nvidia-settings and set the res you want | 02:11 |
| __dean__ | linxuz3r: try it as root | 02:11 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: still saying "Module nvidia not found." when i run sudo modprobe nvidia | 02:12 |
| nickrud | linxuz3r, are you copying to an ntfs/vfat partition? | 02:12 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: should i restart first | 02:12 |
| usser | bthompson: gnome-do i think is what you looking for, for kde3 katapult does it, kde4 has it built in | 02:12 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: Once you have DKMS then try to install Nvidia from Square 1. | 02:12 |
| varun | vertana: i remember reading an article about something similar, it went on about the sound card not supporting a frequency....i'll try to find that link, not sure if i can | 02:12 |
| linxuz3r | nickrud: yes | 02:12 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: its telling me that i am not using the Nvidia driver, and i have to edit the X cofiguration file | 02:13 |
| __dean__ | linxuz3r: then do just cp -r | 02:13 |
| nickrud | linxuz3r, those don't use unix file permissions, it's normal | 02:13 |
| linxuz3r | im copying to fat32 | 02:13 |
| linxuz3r | but im copying it back to ext3 | 02:13 |
| drash | varun: concerning system sounds, there's this interesting bug at launchpad you might have a look at --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcanberra/+bug/273507 | 02:13 |
| nickrud | linxuz3r, using vfat as sort of a backup? | 02:13 |
| vertana | varun: under Sound preferences make sure all sound tests work. IF not select proper system and then test to make sure all work. | 02:14 |
| linxuz3r | fat32 | 02:14 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: how can i check if i have the dkms installed properly cus i think it is messing up and that is why i am having so many problems. | 02:14 |
| gnutron | andypls1: grep nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf see if you get any ouput | 02:14 |
| __dean__ | linuxuz3r: use tar instead | 02:14 |
| joe_- | I've using the Partition Editor in the Alternate CD and it's not showing all of my partitions I've previously setup | 02:14 |
| AtomX1211 | can someone help me | 02:14 |
| joe_- | Not even all of my disks. | 02:14 |
| nickrud | linxuz3r, same thing for what we're talking about | 02:14 |
| AtomX1211 | my wife set my resolution so low I can't set it back | 02:14 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: lsmod | grep dkms << that should tell you that dkms is loaded | 02:14 |
| linxuz3r | vfat is fat32 | 02:14 |
| linxuz3r | ok | 02:14 |
| Cpudan80 | what did she set it to? | 02:14 |
| AtomX1211 | I don't have axcess to the ok button and hitting enter isint working | 02:14 |
| linxuz3r | i thought their different | 02:14 |
| dayo_ | Alex | 02:14 |
| dayo_ | Alex_21: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105772/ | 02:14 |
| __dean__ | linxuz3r: tar -xzpf backup.tar files | 02:14 |
| nickrud | linxuz3r, no, vfat is fat16 or fat32 :) | 02:14 |
| bthompson | usser, thanks so much | 02:14 |
| Dr_willis | AtomX1211, to drag a window you cant eget to the titlebar/bottom buttons hold the ALT KEY and click in the middle of the window. You can then grab/move it around. :) if thats the case | 02:14 |
| andypls1 | nvidia" | 02:14 |
| andypls1 | Driver "nv" | 02:14 |
| gnutron | AtomX1211: apt-get remove wife ok, enough attempted humor, no offense intended | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, reinstall the driver so you get the too high of a res again then run nvidia-settings | 02:15 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: yer i tryed that , but nothing is returned | 02:15 |
| linxuz3r | __dean__: thanks | 02:15 |
| andypls1 | gnutron: yes i do get some output | 02:15 |
| AtomX1211 | lol it's cool | 02:15 |
| AtomX1211 | ty willis | 02:15 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: One second. I'll look into it. | 02:15 |
| linxuz3r | nickrud: do i need to preserve permission and owners? | 02:15 |
| varun | vertana: yeap they are all working | 02:15 |
| dayo_ | Alex_21: the commentary in the main config file /etc/squid/squid.conf is great. u learn a lot from that alone. | 02:15 |
| vertana | varun: Ok, give me one second to help mib. | 02:15 |
| AtomX1211 | you guys are life savers | 02:15 |
| vertana | We try :) | 02:15 |
| AtomX1211 | Thank you Dr_willis | 02:15 |
| AtomX1211 | lol | 02:15 |
| varun | i'am installing libcanberra-gnome as recommended by drash. hope this works =P | 02:15 |
| nickrud | linxuz3r, it's never a bad idea; if you're just storing the files on the vfat for later return and use in ext3 __dean__ has the best advice | 02:15 |
| Dr_willis | AtomX1211, that feature has been in Linux for Years. :) i found a tool that adds it to winjdows also. :) | 02:16 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: well, that didn't solve it unfortunately. ah well | 02:16 |
| vertana | varun: OK, let me know if that works for you :) | 02:16 |
| dayo_ | Alex_21: so far the config files of squid and of BackupPC are the best commented that i've seen | 02:16 |
| AtomX1211 | I just started using linux last week | 02:16 |
| AtomX1211 | so it's all still really new to me | 02:16 |
| gnutron | andypls1: weird it should load, maybe sudo modprobe nv i'm not an nvidia expert. | 02:16 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: yeah sorry - I saw that before my client went on the fritz | 02:16 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: should i remove it and then install it again? | 02:16 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: you sure x and y aren't reversed? | 02:16 |
| varun | oh forgot to mention something important, i think this problem arised when i installed KDE package on ubuntu, i'm not sure thou thats just guess, and all the sound works perfectly on KDE but not on gnome | 02:16 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: Fairly certain... y should be 768 and x should be 1024, correct? | 02:17 |
| frederik | hello! how can i define a script to be run on pressing fn+f5? | 02:17 |
| grindking | varun: because it takes some extra work to get sound working properly sometimes in gnome | 02:17 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: ehhh... that's a good question | 02:17 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: I even tried lowering it to 800 x 600 | 02:17 |
| grindking | varun: esd runs sounds properly, but isn't better, and that's what kde uses | 02:17 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: lemme check | 02:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, if you install and run nvidia-xconfig it will remove stuff that you will need to put back. I still dont have a handle on all the ways to untangle these | 02:17 |
| Cpudan80 | !brokenusplash > Cpudan80 | 02:17 |
| ubottu | Cpudan80, please see my private message | 02:17 |
| usser | frederik: u think those are hardwired, they dont rely on operating system | 02:17 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: really appreciate you going to so much trouble. i think this could be the root of the problem. the models not getting loaded into the kernal properly / dkms | 02:17 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: yeah that's right | 02:18 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: So -- is it just that the splash screen doesnt show up? | 02:18 |
| varun | grindking: haha yeah nah i dont really like kde, just installed to give it a go, it feels really bloated | 02:18 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: nvidia-xcofig is installed | 02:18 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: yeah. | 02:18 |
| grindking | varun: i just spent the past two days getting all my sound perfectly setup in gnome | 02:18 |
| frederik | usser: hm, but other applications (aumixer afair) can intercept fn+volume down. | 02:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, runit | 02:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, run it | 02:18 |
| grindking | varun: multiple sounds at the same time, sound with flash, dts/ac3, x264, etc | 02:18 |
| varun | =( | 02:18 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow:: when i run a get too many info i don't make any sense of it | 02:18 |
| grindking | 5.1 output of course, with spdif | 02:18 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: And you're running the default screen? IE. No modifications to it or anything | 02:18 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: Fairly certain, but I'll verify that | 02:19 |
| nickrud | frederik, you can write the script, then use gconf-editor /apps/metacity/global_keybinds and keybinding_commands | 02:19 |
| lifenova | !usplash > lifenova | 02:19 |
| vertana | Does anyone here have the "restricted" Nvidia driver installed through Hardware Drivers / Synaptic? Could you please give us a list of packages that are installed when you search nvidia in Synaptic? (I'm running UBuntu-unsupported drivers so I cannot) | 02:19 |
| ubottu | lifenova, please see my private message | 02:19 |
| varun | grindking: yeah sound was working flawlessly on gnome before the kde install i rekon | 02:19 |
| nickrud | frederik, use xev to determine the 0x??? char for the fn-f5 key (hopefully it registers) | 02:19 |
| varun | guys i might have to purge this install to get it to work haha | 02:19 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: thats very odd... when I had the usplash problem, it also booted very slow - do you have that problem ? | 02:19 |
| ygor | Hello guys...does anyone know how the cedega application works and try to explain me a lilttle bit of it? | 02:19 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: When someone lists those packages make sure that you have them all installed. | 02:19 |
| linxuz3r | __dean__: i get errors on the command that you gave me | 02:19 |
| grindking | vertana: i have them installed i think | 02:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, it should just rebuild xorg.conf.. so restart X and try nvidia settings again | 02:20 |
| usser | frederik: i may be wrong | 02:20 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: From time to time, it seems somewhat slow. I haven't really timed it per se | 02:20 |
| andypls1 | ok | 02:20 |
| nickrud | ygor, a better question for #winehq , cedega is just a version of wine | 02:20 |
| vertana | grindking: Please provide those packages to mib... he's the one who needs to know if all his packages are installed. I appreciate it :) | 02:20 |
| mib_xmowur6k | fff | 02:20 |
| frederik | nickrud: usser was right, the keystroke is not being registered :( | 02:20 |
| frederik | thanks for the help though. | 02:20 |
| usser | ygor: it translates winAPI to unix system calls basically | 02:20 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: sorry u list me | 02:20 |
| grindking | mib_xmowur6k: do you want me to do dpkg -l | grep nvidia and paste that to you or a screenshot of me searching ffor nvidia in synaptic? | 02:21 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: SHortly grindking should tell you all his packages that he has under nvidia. Make sure they are all installed | 02:21 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: hrm..... are you sure you did the file right? should be like xres=1024 <enter key> yres=768 | 02:21 |
| linxuz3r | nickrud: how do i tar it properly | 02:21 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: maybe remove the file and see what happens | 02:21 |
| ygor | nickrud: yeah i have wine and its similars... but im trying to install and play games with cedega, with no sucess.. | 02:21 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: worst case you have to boot in recovery mode and recreate it | 02:21 |
| Alex_21 | Hi, I want to limit bandwidth usage. What kinds of programs will do this? | 02:21 |
| vertana | grindking: a screenshot would be nice or just list them with txt to save us from uploading/downloading. | 02:21 |
| backenfutter | I was wondering, can somebody here explain to me the color codes of the diagrams in htop? | 02:22 |
| nickrud | linxuz3r, I cd into the dir I'm saving in and tar cf <filename>.tar /path/to/dir/to/archive | 02:22 |
| dayo_ | Alex_21: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105772/ | 02:22 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: yes, that's the exact text of the file | 02:22 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: hrm.... thats odd .... no other gfx problems ? | 02:23 |
| linxuz3r | nickrud: whats the difference between .tar and .tar.gz .tar.xy xz and so on? | 02:23 |
| nickrud | frederik, try ctl-atl-f2, log in and run showkey , then press the fn-5 key, see if you get anything | 02:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | linxuz3r, It can be a problem if your *.tar is in the path of your archive as it will try to archive itself --exclude=path/file | 02:23 |
| grindking | mib_xmowur6k: im uploading the pic now | 02:23 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: not to my knowledge. I think I may have forgotten to run one command (oops!) | 02:23 |
| __dean__ | linxuz3r: tar.gz uses gzip compression | 02:23 |
| __dean__ | linxuz3r: tar.bz3 uses bzip2 compression | 02:23 |
| Rapture2k4 | I'm having a heck of a time with Samba, Swat, and Windows.. anyone have experience? | 02:24 |
| __dean__ | linkuz3r: sorry tar.bz2 | 02:24 |
| linxuz3r | __dean__: whats a good compression to use? | 02:24 |
| __dean__ | linxuz3r: tar.bz2 seems to compress best | 02:24 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: lol you forgot to run the command to rebuild the file? | 02:24 |
| linxeh | __dean__: 7zip is better | 02:24 |
| Dr_willis | Rapture2k4, samba can be a rather complex topic. :) the 'samba-doc' package has several books on the topic. Tell the channel your specific problem and we can try to help. | 02:24 |
| linxuz3r | i think gz is good | 02:24 |
| wims | !kde > wims | 02:24 |
| ubottu | wims, please see my private message | 02:24 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: I forgot to run sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu | 02:24 |
| nickrud | linxeh, tar is an uncompressed archive of the directory tree (Tape ARchive), the others are various types of compression applied to the tar (GZip or BZip) | 02:24 |

| linxuz3r | 7zip is gz????? | 02:25 |
| __dean__ | linxuz3r: tar.gz is faster | 02:25 |
| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: ok i will wait to get the list, then i will uninstall all nvidia packages and install the same as him | 02:25 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: prob dont need it if the file is correct ... but what the hell, can't hurt | 02:25 |
| linxeh | linxuz3r: bz2 is about 20% better than gz. 7zip is about 10-15% better again | 02:25 |

| mib_xmowur6k | vertana: ok going to try this and back in 5min THANKS ALOT u guys have been alot of help | 02:27 |
| yimer | hey how do i get java to work for online games on ubuntu | 02:27 |
| mib_xmowur6k | grindking: BIG HELP, BRB | 02:28 |
| vertana | mib_xmowur6k: No problem, it's what the channel is here for :) | 02:28 |
| grindking | well, im not positive i can get it to work but i guess i COULD do it | 02:28 |
| Rapture2k4 | ok... so i've got a simple topology (2 Vista clients, 1 Ubuntu Server 8.10 [no gui]). On this server I have a WD MyBook USB HD fstabed to /media/WD250. All I want to do is allow ANYONE with a valid ip in my subnet (10.0.0.x/30) to see and read/write to it. I thought I had it up and running, but I cannot write to the drive via network. I have set 'chmod -R 777 /media/WD250' | 02:28 |
| grindking | also im thinking i can just wait out a fix | 02:28 |
| tux9778 | i tried the x64 alternate hardy but seemed like there was alot of stuff missing in it gnutrom | 02:28 |
| nickrud | yimer, install sun-java6-plugin | 02:28 |
| grindking | it can't be THAT long i wouldn't think | 02:28 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: use nfs | 02:28 |
| vertana | grindking: Didn't they just come out with a 64-bit flash? | 02:28 |
| yimer | how? | 02:28 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: samba is a pain in the neck | 02:28 |
| grindking | vertana: haha yah like a month ago :/ | 02:28 |
| grindking | but there's been one release update! | 02:28 |
| andypls1 | who's the guy i was talking with? | 02:28 |
| __dean__ | linxvertana: yes | 02:29 |
| yimer | nickrud where do i type that | 02:29 |
| grindking | so i mean, would best bet be that wrapper thing with flash 9? | 02:29 |
| vertana | grindking: Then it shouldn't be too long for at least a beta of that client. Or at least the next Ubuntu release :p | 02:29 |
| Rapture2k4 | usser: i am a linux newbie, and everything i've read on NFS goes way over my head (which is odd, considering I do networking for a living) | 02:29 |
| grindking | i could easily try it now that im familar with where all those libs go | 02:29 |
| gnutron | tux9778: you want the intrepid version of this iso probably- ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 02:29 |
| nickrud | !synaptic | yimer (your master control for installing software, ctl-f to search) | 02:29 |
| ubottu | yimer (your master control for installing software, ctl-f to search): synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 02:29 |
| vertana | grindking: Lol, I run 64-bit also. Lemme know how that works out! =p | 02:29 |
| tux9778 | u mean gnutrom 8.10 alternate | 02:29 |
| Rapture2k4 | usser: do you have any good newbie-friendly sites on NFS? | 02:29 |
| grindking | if you have a newer proc or if you cat cpuinfo and it shows lahf | 02:29 |
| grindking | you won't get the crash | 02:29 |
| gnutron | tux9778: the amd64 works for intel pc's also btw | 02:29 |
| linux_guy | how can i tell if i have alien or not? | 02:30 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: yea sure | 02:30 |
| grindking | im on an fx55 | 02:30 |
| nickrud | yimer, synaptic can be found at system->admin->synaptic package manager | 02:30 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: hang on a sec | 02:30 |
| grindking | linux_guy: the package? | 02:30 |
| vertana | grindking: I know I don't get the crash. I've been good ever since Flash 9. | 02:30 |
| grindking | linxuz3r: dpkg -l | grep alien | 02:30 |
| Rapture2k4 | usser: thanx | 02:30 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: are you there? | 02:30 |
| nickrud | linux_guy, dpkg -l alien , if it is the first two chars will be ii | 02:30 |
| grindking | vertana: but are you using the native 64bit flash 10, or still with the wrapper? | 02:30 |
| gnutron | tux9778: 8.10 yes if you want intrepid, as for alternative i'm not sure, thats the iso i use | 02:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, yes, one sec | 02:30 |
| linux_guy | yeah i need to convert an rpm to deb | 02:30 |
| tux9778 | i have a amd gnutrom just was wondering if 8.10 is up to date and is there devs on the project x64? | 02:30 |
| nickrud | !alien | linux_guy | 02:30 |
| ubottu | linux_guy: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 02:30 |
| vertana | grindking: Still using the wrapper : / | 02:31 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: that didn't work, but I may have just found out why it's not working | 02:31 |
| nickrud | linux_guy, are you sure you need the rpm? What are you installing? | 02:31 |
| grindking | vertana: but it works fine? like not choppy, etc? | 02:31 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: take a look at this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249889 and nfs is supported on windows natively, u just have to install microsoft nfs services or something like that | 02:31 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: whats that? | 02:31 |
| Rapture2k4 | much luv | 02:31 |
| tux9778 | ok gnutrom i'll try 8.10 see if that helps with my ipod issuses | 02:31 |
| vertana | grindking: Works just as well as a native 32-bit Windows version (from what I've seen based on Vista). | 02:31 |
| linux_guy | nick: i need to install vmware.. available in tar or rpm | 02:31 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: I found this link http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-937527.html and one of the posts on it says to use sudo usplash to test it... did that and I got a message about a missing console font | 02:31 |
| grindking | sigh, i was right about to watch a movie too | 02:31 |
| grindking | now im goign to have to try it :D | 02:31 |
| vertana | grindking: At least for me... as always YMMV. | 02:31 |
| rww | !vmware | linux_guy: use these instructions instead | 02:32 |
| ubottu | linux_guy: use these instructions instead: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 02:32 |
| nickrud | linux_guy, get the tar!!! the rpm will break | 02:32 |
| grindking | well i tihnk the reason i gave up was cuz i was having sound issues | 02:32 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: and here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324055 | 02:32 |
| grindking | but that was because i didn't have my .asoundrc file setup right | 02:32 |
| === five_ is now known as Guest75603 | ||
| grindking | ill go back to the wrapper for sure | 02:32 |
| linux_guy | ok | 02:32 |
| grindking | i think tehre's even a walkthrough on the ubuntu forums for it | 02:32 |
| vertana | grindking: To be honest I just this computer from my girlfriend's house (Haven't used it since 2006) and everything worked Out of the box. EVERYTHING. Except for Nvidia driver of course. | 02:33 |
| Rapture2k4 | usser: thanx alot, i'm gonna give it a shot | 02:33 |
| grindking | im trying to use this as my main machine | 02:33 |
| grindking | gave up a couple years back, trying again now | 02:33 |
| bthompson | im in add/remove program how do i tell what version of the software im searching is going to install...example i did a search for kino...how do i tell what version is going to install.. | 02:33 |
| vertana | grindking: I did a clean install of 8.10 (last used was 7.04 I think) and flash worked perfect after a ubuntu-restricted-extras install. | 02:33 |
| guestguestnew | do u guys know of any pdf reader that has a good bookmarking feature that i can install from the repos? | 02:33 |
| vertana | an* | 02:33 |
| tux9778 | is there a a atheros driver availbe for ar5009 wifi? | 02:33 |
| linxuz3r | tar.gz is the same as tgz? | 02:34 |
| nickrud | !hardysources | yimer (good for hardy on up) | 02:34 |
| ubottu | yimer (good for hardy on up): In System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (hardy-security) and (hardy-updates). | 02:34 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: interesting ... | 02:34 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: things are better now. the resolutiong is the highest possible, but that's too high for me, it's not like that that it used to be. when i decrease the resolution things get a little better but they are still ugly .when i run "nvidia-settings" it's saying that i am not using Nvidia X driver | 02:34 |
| vertana | tux9778: I believe mad5k would for that, just google. (I am NOT sure on that) | 02:34 |
| rodd | I have something weird to ask you | 02:34 |
| nickrud | yimer, do that, then check synaptic again. You'll need to close synaptic temporarily | 02:34 |
| vertana | rodd: Shoot. | 02:34 |
| gnutron | bthompson: apt-cache search [package] will say what version the repo's have. | 02:34 |
| yimer | kk ty | 02:34 |
| rodd | Do you know how to develop games for Linux? | 02:34 |
| linxuz3r | can you append tar files? | 02:34 |
| linxuz3r | appened to tar files? | 02:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, How did you install the driver | 02:35 |
| tux9778 | i been googleing it up vertana nothing seems to pop up just posts for it | 02:35 |
| gnutron | bthompson: dpkg -s package will show installed version of same. | 02:35 |
| rodd | I've been searching for a while and didn't find anything all over the net.... | 02:35 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: Just tried to get the error message again, and couldn't. What had happened was that the whole screen went black (I assume it was simulating what usplash should look like) and then I saw plain white text that said something about a missing console font and an invalid argument | 02:35 |
| vertana | rodd: Sorry, I do not. | 02:35 |
| bthompson | gnutron, apt-cache search kino | 02:35 |
| bthompson | kino - Non-linear editor for Digital Video data | 02:35 |
| rodd | vertana: I thought it would be hard to find | 02:35 |
| vertana | tux9778: Sometimes forum posts are the most valuable. | 02:35 |
| gnutron | linxuz3r: yes you can | 02:35 |
| bthompson | doesn't show version...i want to make sure that it is the latest version.. | 02:35 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 02:35 |
| vertana | rodd: Actually you would be surprised try googling something developing games for linux or programming game linux. | 02:36 |
| vertana | something ^like | 02:36 |
| linxuz3r | gnutron: thanks | 02:36 |
| gnutron | bthompson: ah, no version info, go into synaptic it will show the version there. | 02:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, Go through the nvidia install tutorial again.. | 02:36 |
| tux9778 | ok thanks so i should bookmark the ones that people ased for it and see what happens vertana? | 02:36 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: mine just goes black | 02:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !nvidia | 02:36 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:36 |
| linxuz3r | is there a tar viewer that shows you the permission and owner of files and folders? | 02:36 |
| vertana | rodd: You could even do something such as downloading the source for Battle for Wesnoth or Super Maryo Chronicles and take a look for yourself :) | 02:36 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: I assume it will give some error if its bad | 02:36 |
| rodd | vertana: I've already done that...the point is that I can't find the most simple stuff, like what programming language suits best...LOL | 02:36 |
| vertana | rodd: That's the beauty of it all ^^ | 02:36 |
| __dean__ | linuxuz3r: emacs the tar file | 02:36 |
| gnutron | linxuz3r: read any tar tutorial, plenty of tricks | 02:37 |
| nickrud | linxuz3r, right click the file, open with archive manager | 02:37 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean, i just installed it from adept manger?? i don't have any tutorial | 02:37 |
| lifenova | cpudan80: hmmm | 02:37 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow:what did i do wrong? | 02:37 |
| linxuz3r | nickrud: but it does not show owner and permissions | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !nvidia > andypls1 | 02:37 |
| ubottu | andypls1, please see my private message | 02:37 |
| vertana | rodd: Which language is best for what is always a hot topic. It's best to just go with what you already know. At least if you're just starting out. Learn to optimize large projects later :) | 02:37 |
| rodd | vertana: I would totally agree if I knew something about programming for linux at all...LOL | 02:37 |
| lifenova | Cpudan80: I'm going to try restarting one more time, then googling around. if not, no biggie, just a minor aesthetics problem | 02:37 |
| greensky | I recently upgraded to 4gb of ram and got a dvd burner, but my dvd burner wont work in ubuntu... "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0" any idas? | 02:37 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: now i don't have the drivers installed? | 02:38 |
| Cpudan80 | lifenova: well if you're missing the font -- its easy to get that back | 02:38 |
| __dean__ | linuxuz3r: open it with emacs. | 02:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, Just looking to have you install them correctly so we can work from there | 02:38 |
| rodd | vertana: I've been programming for windows for too long...LOL...and I'm afraid of using Java for large projects, if you know what I mean... | 02:38 |
| __dean__ | linxuz3r: if you don't have emacs, do sudo apt-get install emacs | 02:38 |
| themind | noob here... i need help getting wow to run in WINE | 02:38 |
| vertana | tux9778: Sorry, I missed your comment earlier. But yes or better, you could go to ubuntuforums.com and search. If nothing comes up post the question yourself. Generally the Ubuntu community if very helpful. | 02:39 |
| __dean__ | linuxuz3r: It will list the files in the archive | 02:39 |
| themind | if anyone has done it plz msg me | 02:39 |
| usser | rodd: use C++/qt | 02:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | themind, /join #Winehq | 02:39 |
| lifenova | themind, you might try asking at #winehq | 02:39 |
| nickrud | linxuz3r, bummer, you're right | 02:39 |
| __mikem | rod, don't use C++/qt, Use C++/wxWidgets | 02:39 |
| usser | hehe | 02:39 |
| Dr_willis | Ok.. With the Gnome File manager.. if you are in a List View of a Folder.. How do you make a 'New Folder' - that entry seems to not be there unless you are in ICON view... or i am totally missing it. | 02:39 |
| __mikem | rodd, ^ | 02:39 |
| tux9778 | ok vertana what happens if things dont work in x64 intrepid then what? | 02:39 |
| rodd | usser: C++ ins an awesome language, but still not the best for programming and testing easily | 02:40 |
| vertana | rodd: Notice, how people have already chimed in on that... told you, hot topic. Whatever is comfortable amiko ^^ | 02:40 |
| baby14k | hi | 02:40 |
| guestguestnew | do u guys know of any pdf reader that has a good bookmarking feature that i can install from the repos? | 02:40 |
| rodd | __mikem same as for usser, sire | 02:40 |
| __dean__ | linxuz3r: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/File-Archives.html | 02:40 |
| vertana | tux9778: What wouldn't work? Usually the solution is the same as 32-bit, but depends on what "breaks" :) | 02:40 |
| rodd | vertana: indeed...I dodn't know that Linux was able to support these languages | 02:40 |
| __mikem | rodd, its just qt doesn't even use standard C++, qt has to employ its own special preprocessor | 02:40 |
| vertana | rodd: Sir, Linux supports EVERY language I've heard of. | 02:41 |
| __mikem | vertana, visual basic 6? | 02:41 |
| tux9778 | ok thans vertana so 64 bit is up to date with the 32 bit version? | 02:41 |
| vertana | rodd: You just have to sarch the net for good documentation. | 02:41 |
| rodd | vertana: That's awesome to here...I just need to get myself ready for programming, then...xD | 02:41 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: i clicked "enable" in KMenu->System Settings, go to the Advanced tab and click Restricted Drivers. should i restart to see the changes? | 02:41 |
| rodd | vertana: hear* | 02:41 |
| vertana | mikem: Ok, fine anything that MS is not attached to. Better? :p | 02:41 |
| rodd | ^-^ | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, Sure | 02:42 |
| __dean__ | Dr_willis: do right click, new folder | 02:42 |
| __mikem | vertana, :) | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | __dean__, its not there in the LIST view.. i will look again for the 10th time. :) | 02:42 |
| greensky | do I need to do something differently to get a sata cd-burner to mount a drive vs. an ata drive? | 02:42 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 02:42 |
| greensky | other than the /dev entry? | 02:42 |
| linxuz3r | thanks guys | 02:42 |
| __dean__ | Dr_willis: File -> Create Folder | 02:43 |
| __dean__ | Dr_willis: Or C-N | 02:43 |
| vertana | rodd: Ok, Java is cross platform, but C++ is fast (just harder to learn) and python is pretty decent (Once again, subjective everybody has their own opinion). | 02:43 |
| __dean__ | Dr_willis: Ctrl-Shift-N | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | __dean__, the ISSUE seems to be the right click menu has to Not be over an icon/item to get that menu.. so you do the right click in the blank spaces in Icon view.. but in List view.. theres no blank spaces.. Or so it seems | 02:43 |
| vertana | grindking: I know I'm late, but nice Desktop btw :p | 02:44 |
| rodd | vertana: Yeah, I'm a bit sick of Java for huge programs with lots of different classes in different source-codes....C++ is fast but needs either to be distributed on source code or recompiled for every system. and Python is almost the same as C++ in this point... | 02:44 |
| rodd | vertana: I guess every language has their pros and cons.... | 02:44 |
| __dean__ | Dr_willis: You can do it in list view if you right click in a blank space | 02:45 |
| __dean__ | Dr_willis: but there is only a blank space if there is not many files | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | __dean__, what blank space? i right click where it looks like its blank and it select the thing. :) heh yea... | 02:45 |
| vertana | rodd: As is always the case. I'm partial to Python, but I like Source Code to look all pretty. Java, the only real hit that comes to mind is speed. And unless you plan on going commercial with your software, distributing source code is no big :) | 02:46 |
| === Guest5946 is now known as tonyyarusso | ||
| gnutron | guestguestnew: pdf reader du jour= http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ they have a .deb that works well. | 02:46 |
| __dean__ | Dr_willis: If you go to a folder where there isn't enough files to fill the window, then there will be a blonk space athe bottom where you can right click and it will work | 02:46 |
| guestguestnew | gnutron: ok thanks:) | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | __dean__, :) sounds like a rough edge. heh | 02:47 |
| rodd | vertana: I don't plan on going commercial right now...but I have some source coding I created that I have a special love for it...xD....cant just leave it for everyone to see...xDDD | 02:47 |
| __dean__ | Dr_willis: But otherwise, you can create a new folder from the File menu or using the keyboard shortcut. | 02:47 |
| vertana | rodd: I won't lie, that's horrible :p But to each his own ^^ | 02:47 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: after i did that, xserver couldn't even start, so i had to type "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 02:48 |
| Aeonis | New prob w/ firefox. It is opening larger than my res and java doesnt appear to be working. I just upgraded to 8.10 | 02:48 |
| Aeonis | any ideas? | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | __dean__, where in the file menu? let me look again there | 02:48 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow:: so now the card is not "enabled", but it is "in use", whereas previously, when i clicked "enable" it was "not in use". what do i do now? | 02:49 |
| __dean__ | Dr_willis: It is below New Tab and New Window | 02:49 |
| rodd | vertana: I know it's totally horrible :p...even more in the open source community....But I'm still in love with how lovely a nice programming scheme can be | 02:49 |
| __dean__ | Dr_willis: and above Create Document | 02:49 |
| Rapture2k4 | what does this mean? "exportfs: /etc/exports [2]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export '10.X.X.X/24:/media/WD250'"? | 02:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, nvidia-settings tells you what | 02:50 |
| greensky | what does this mean? isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16 get that when trying to mount a dvd | 02:50 |
| vertana | rodd: That's ok. The most infuriating thing to ever happen to me was when I was a student in high school and made some 'decent' (Ok I thought it was awesome...), but the second the school found out I was going to put it on the internet as OSS, they claimed the source for their own! Evil... but since I was in 'student' status, they called it a school project and there she goes... It made me mad at the time, but I'm smarter these days :p | 02:51 |
| vertana | rodd: (Or I"d like to think so anyway) =p | 02:51 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: its a warning not an error, thats fine it'll work without it | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | __dean__, yea. seems some of the entries in the FILE menu could amost go alongside similer items in the EDIT menu.. Ya move to trash in one.. but empty the trash in the other.. | 02:51 |
| Aeonis | Wait... java got disabled...but how? | 02:51 |
| jinja-sheep | vertana: What did you create? ;o | 02:52 |
| Rapture2k4 | what's the warning mean? | 02:52 |
| andypls1 | Jack_Sparrow: that's not helping, i am always getting the same message | 02:52 |
| __dean__ | Dr:willis: using the terminal for file manipulation is better | 02:52 |
| linxuz3r | is 9.04 released already? | 02:52 |
| jinja-sheep | !jaunty | linxuz3r | 02:52 |
| ubottu | linxuz3r: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 02:52 |
| __dean__ | linkuz3r: you can upgrade to it but it is an alpha | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | __dean__, shame! turn in your gnome-merit badge! :P | 02:52 |
| gnutron | vertana: that should be under intellectual property, yours not theirs. sue them they'll back off | 02:52 |
| ardchoille | linxuz3r: no, it isn't 9.04 yet (April 2009) | 02:52 |
| rodd | vertana: Interesting thing | 02:53 |
| __dean__ | linkuz3r: to upgrade: sed -i 's/intrepid/jaunty/g' /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:53 |
| __dean__ | rlinxuz3r; but it is alpha so it might not be a good idea | 02:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andypls1, SInce I am not sure what all you have done or tried so far I dont know where to go from here. I am working on a set of instructions but they are not finished. If you are not getting an answer and want to continue in PM for a couple minutes I am willing to try | 02:53 |

| ubottu | andypls1: 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) | 02:54 |
| vertana | jinja-sheep: Just some basic calculators, a nice interface, and a friend made them able to communicate through irc (when the school had its own irc channel). Therefore all the teachers could enter their grades into a website download the students grades as spreadsheets and then be able to enter into calcs to find totals, gpa's, etc. and the irc allowed to teachers to talk amongst each other in a passworded room. And it was in Java, so worked just as well | 02:54 |
| vertana | in Windows and Mac (which the school used). | 02:54 |
| mib_0hcvon6q | vertana: hello again, you was just helping me with my nvidia card install | 02:54 |

| vertana | gnutron: I understand, but I was 17 at the team and it was mostly for a grade and I proved my principle. Minors aren't useless contrary to what the American education system leads the "children" to believe. | 02:58 |

| === stephen is now known as Guest39490 | ||
| vertana | mib_0hcvon6q: The latest? 8.10. Go under Administration > Hardware Drivers and see if it tells you the Nvidia 177 driver is disabled. If it is, then try enabling it in that same menu. | 03:03 |
| lifenova1 | linux_guy: extract the files into a folder, then tell me the name of that was created | 03:03 |
| lstarnes | linux_guy: there will most likely be a readme or install file contained in it | 03:03 |
| gnutron | andypls1: you should consult your restricted drivers menu also, i'm not up on that subject. | 03:04 |
| andypls1 | i don't know.... | 03:04 |
| vertana | mib_0hcvon6q: The reason I point you to the HArdware Drivers menu is because it should automatically download software that the drivers depend on. | 03:04 |
| vertana | mib_0hcvon6q: And it should trigger the right scripts (I.e. put everything in the right places and make the correct changes) | 03:05 |

| shavin | my compaq 6710b laptop is just six months old and battery is troubling. It wont charge when plugged in. I took it out and plugged in again(did not start the OS yet) and the battery LED came on. I was able to charge it to almost 100%, then i started ubuntu and used it for a while and switched it off. Now again i started ubuntu in the morning the LED will not burn. I guess i might still be... | 03:06 |
| shavin | ...able to charge it with laptop off. please help. | 03:06 |
| linux_guy | life: I extracted it to a folder called vmware-server-distrib | 03:06 |
| gnutron | andypls1: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf type in nv instead of nvidia, i bet it'll work. | 03:07 |
| lifenova1 | linux_guy: open up a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and type cd vmware-server-distrib | 03:07 |
| Rapture2k4 | hmm, I can no longer see my Ubuntu server in my network (Vista) since I removed samba... I have NFS setup on it... | 03:07 |

| linux_guy | no such file or dir? | 03:07 |
| vertana | mib_0hcvon6q: Ok After reboot, let me know how it works out for you. And if anyone asks you how to install Nvidia drivers in ubuntu it's always safe to tell them to do it through Hardware Drivers menu. | 03:07 |
| shavin | So i guess what i have to is this 1. switch iff the laptop 2. take the battery out for a few second 3. put it back in and charge offline, 4 then switch on the laptop. | 03:07 |

| vertana | mib_0hcvon6q: As long as it said everything is 100% done. I think it should be ok to reboot. In case it doesn't come up (Prolly won't happen to you) in a console run sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and under the driver section look for something like "driver" (won't be driver, but whatever is there) change to "nvidia" if that doesn't work then "nv" will. | 03:14 |

| vertana | mib_0hcvon6q: To be honest I think we confused the package manager with the stuff from synaptic and the Hardware Drivers. If you wanna be Extra extra safe I would reboot and then delete Everything nvidia off your computer. THEN use the hardware driver menu to do it. | 03:17 |

| CoUrPsE|DeAd | raz0o0x, the folder still stays there unless you delete it. | 03:19 |
| vertana | andypls1: the dpkg-reconfigure option WILL change the driver so you'll have to put it back to nvidia later. | 03:19 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | raz0o0x, You would of had to mkdir the folder in the first place. | 03:20 |
| raz0o0x | do I just say 'rm zero'? | 03:20 |

| CoUrPsE|DeAd | if it is. | 03:20 |
| andypls1 | vertana: ok so that's what scewed up everything. Now i don't know what to do. what's the first step you said i should do? | 03:20 |
| jinja-sheep | raz0o0x: Look inside. It's an empty folder. It's just a place to mount the directory to. | 03:20 |
| vertana | andypls1: Those commands can be run on any terminal. For instance after x does not work press control + alt + f1, login and then run them. | 03:20 |

| pentaside | What's a good program to partition with? | 03:23 |
| vertana | pentaside: gparted. | 03:23 |
| usser | vertana: that doesnt work anymore | 03:23 |
| lifenova1 | !gparted | pentaside | 03:23 |
| ubottu | pentaside: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 03:23 |

| CoUrPsE|DeAd | raz0o0x, To make it easier on people trying t o help you, could you please not use enter as puncuiation. | 03:23 |
| pentaside | Tried that... didn't like it... any others? | 03:23 |
| vertana | usser: With the switch -phigh it resets driver to VESA so it's a safe backup. | 03:23 |
| dude7064 | anybdoy please ? | 03:23 |
| raz0o0x | Yes, sorry. | 03:23 |
| usser | vertana: oh i see | 03:24 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | raz0o0x, try: set -u MANPATH | 03:24 |
| Killeroid | dude7064: for(blah blah);do blah blah;done; next time, use google, its way easier to google for stuff like this | 03:24 |
| vertana | usser: I had to break my X to hunt that command down lol. But ultimately it just resets driver to VESA. | 03:24 |
| andypls1 | gnutron: after that? | 03:24 |
| gnutron | pentaside: gparted livecd is best | 03:24 |
| linux_guy | killeroid: you rock dude | 03:24 |
| raz0o0x | CoUrPsE|DeAd, that does not work | 03:24 |

| vertana | themind: It's ok. Just ask questions on the forums, or here, or Google. Between them all you'll have all the help you need. | 03:25 |
| gnutron | andypls1: have you rebooted paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:25 |

| goexplode | puneeth: sudo apt-get install kde | 03:26 |
| pentaside | gnutron: Well, I haven't tried with the Live CD, we'll see what happens. | 03:26 |
| themind | darkwolf i'll let you know when i get my webcam working | 03:27 |
| ale1 | hello all | 03:27 |

| gnutron | pentaside: gparted is on ubuntu cd's and your hdd but the real deal is sweeter imho | 03:27 |
| DarkWolf29 | temppy, easycam? is that in apt-get do you know? | 03:27 |

| ale1 | i need major help with my cdrom for some reason linux BROKE MY CD ROM it does not even work in vista now dual boot | 03:27 |
| temppy | !webcam | DarkWolf29 | 03:27 |
| ubottu | DarkWolf29: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 03:27 |
| ale1 | it has done this with 2 optical drives | 03:28 |
| temppy | 1st link | 03:28 |
| tweak | don't blame linux | 03:28 |
| gnutron | tweak: you get googleearth loaded up? | 03:28 |
| ale1 | well when i bought the new drive from new egg it worked until i booted into linux | 03:28 |
| tweak | i have to wait for synaptic to finish before i can do the apt-get lol | 03:28 |
| themind | =_= i tried to install the GTK theme tar and its not showing up in the list | 03:28 |
| erickaren | anybody here work with RUby? | 03:28 |
| ale1 | it worked in vista all day | 03:28 |
| vertana | alel: An operating system itself cannot damage hardware to the point of being physically useless. This includes Windows as well. | 03:29 |
| lifenova1 | themind: Try extracting the tar you downloaded | 03:29 |
| ale1 | i thought so too | 03:29 |
| opera | !acpi | 03:29 |
| gnutron | tweak: oh i thought you had the binary install file | 03:29 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi | 03:29 |
| tweak | Windows should count as a swear! | 03:29 |
| ale1 | i have been building machines for 12 years | 03:29 |
| benh | somebody who understands NetworkMangler around ? | 03:29 |
| benh | ie, I used to have my eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces | 03:29 |
| gnutron | tweak: its all good then you dont need any help :) | 03:29 |
| goexplode | vertana: you sure about that? :-p i remember a certain kernel version that was doing some bad things to some types of gigabit ethernet cards recently | 03:29 |
| ale1 | and it will not even see disks ...i can not even reinstall ANY OS | 03:29 |
| benh | so NM. basically kept away from it | 03:29 |
| benh | this had the side effect that various things though I was offline etc... | 03:30 |
| tweak | i tried to download it from the site and save it in my /home/ directory but I clicked save and then the file wasn't there.. did that a few times.. still not there.. can I not write to /home/? | 03:30 |
| vertana | goexplode: Ok, well not these days... | 03:30 |
| benh | now I want to put it back under NM. controlk | 03:30 |
| temppy | benh: whats the problem? | 03:30 |
| benh | temppy: well, I removed it from interfaces | 03:30 |
| usser | Rapture: did u install that microsoft package? services for unix or whatnot? | 03:30 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Using System/prefecences/Sessions How can i tell applictions to get send to a different virtual desktop? | 03:30 |

| raz0o0x | is there an easy way to just reinstall the man pages if they fail to work? | 03:30 |
| benh | temppy: but NM still thinks it's "unmanaged" | 03:30 |
| ale1 | I am talking about from the bios out ....no disk can be seen | 03:30 |
| benh | temppy: and won't pick it up | 03:30 |
| Narcisha | How can I close down gnome/x to access the normal terminal? anything I try lead me to a blinking underscore, and only ctrl+alt+f7 brings me back to gnome | 03:30 |
| vertana | alel: make sure all cables are connected, etc. | 03:30 |
| benh | temppy: is there some other remaining bit of setting somewhere I need to ditch ? | 03:30 |
| gnutron | tweak: first you should tell firefox to ask where to save files, its probably on your desktop by default | 03:31 |
| tweak | i have it set to ask me every time | 03:31 |
| ale1 | i am thinking it is locked (mounted) with a perm flag ...like what sometimes happens on USB drives | 03:31 |
| rww | benh: Did you restart the computer after doing that? I don't think it'll pick up that it's not in /etc/network/interfaces until you do that, or restart the networking and NetworkManager services. | 03:31 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | raz0o0x, You COULD try sudo apt-get --reinstall install man | 03:31 |
| temppy | benh: I dunno. I thought that was what you had to do, remove it from interfaces | 03:31 |
| andypls1 | GUYSSS :( :.( | 03:31 |
| kristian_ | is there a terminal command that can show me what wireless networks my wireless reciever on my box picks up? aka the ssid, encryption, channel, etc, etc. thanks. :-) | 03:31 |
| benh | rww: I restarted /etc/init.d/networking & NM | 03:31 |
| gnutron | tweak: cant you save it to /home/user/ ? | 03:31 |
| vertana | alel: If your CD Drive can't even be seen before starting up an OS it is 100% sure a hardware problem. Cables, Damaged Discs, or something otherwise physical. | 03:31 |
| benh | rww: I would have expected not to have to reboot the whole machine :-) man, it's not windows ! | 03:31 |
| benh | but I suppose I can try | 03:31 |
| temppy | kristian_: iwscan maybe | 03:31 |
| Dante123 | can you set a usb wireless dongle to ad-hoc mode and then bridge the ethernet internet connection so that it is shared with anyone else connecting with the usb wireless dongle? | 03:31 |
| tweak | gnutron: checking......... | 03:32 |
| andypls1 | i am still getting the same problem, the sxerver could not start, and i had to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:32 |
| benh | let me restart hal | 03:32 |
| benh | nah, same | 03:32 |
| rww | benh: Hrm. Probably something else you need to restart, then; I'm just not sure what. I happened to need to restart the computer for something else anyway, so I didn't really investigate. | 03:32 |
| usser | temppy: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 03:32 |
| n3m0 | kristian_ its iwlist <iface> scan | 03:32 |
| vertana | andypls1: If you're running 8.10 it's dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 03:32 |
| temppy | kristian_: no, its iwlist iface scanning | 03:32 |
| gnutron | tweak: open a terminal dont use file-manager | 03:32 |
| ale1 | all cables are connected fine ...It first happened with the first drive.....then I ordered a new drive off of new egg ...and i used it all day in vista ...then booted into linux mint (ubuntu) ....now this (drive #2) is broken | 03:33 |
| n3m0 | man you guys both got it wrong | 03:33 |
| andypls1 | vertana i am on 7.10 | 03:33 |
| vertana | andypls1: Don't forget the -phigh switch. It will boot you into a sort of safe graphics mode. | 03:33 |
| temppy | ale1: maybe its your mobo/psu | 03:33 |
| andypls1 | vertana: if i update to 8.10 will my problems get fixed? | 03:33 |
| tweak | gnutron: It worked yes | 03:33 |
| Rapture | usser: I can't even see my Ubuntu box from Networks (in vista), is this normal behavior? also, I did mount the NFS share, but it times out when I try to access it | 03:33 |
| ale1 | no cuz the drive is seen by both OS | 03:33 |
| vertana | alel: In the VERY OFF chance that this happened due to software google your cd model and see if anyone has reports. | 03:33 |
| benh | bah, now NM sees eth1 twice :-) | 03:34 |
| raz0o0x | in which file can someone set the PATH variable to some default value each time the terminal is opened? | 03:34 |
| benh | allright, I'll reboot the box | 03:34 |
| gnutron | tweak: define 'worked'? its installed? | 03:34 |
| benh | I need to change something with the kernel anyway | 03:34 |
| vertana | andypls1: That is always probable, but YMMV as always. | 03:34 |
| n3m0 | .basrch | 03:34 |
| tweak | no I got the file lol | 03:34 |
| themind | so i bet u linux guyz r real sad abot steve jobz huh | 03:34 |
| usser | Rapture: yes with nfs it will not show up in networks | 03:34 |
| andypls1 | what is YMMV? | 03:34 |
| ale1 | i have but this happened with TWO diff drives ...two diff manuf. | 03:34 |
| n3m0 | .bashrc | 03:34 |
| Dante123 | can you set a usb wireless dongle to ad-hoc mode and then bridge the ethernet internet connection so that it is shared with anyone else connecting with the usb wireless dongle? | 03:34 |
| usser | Rapture: try connecting by ip. name resolutions might not work properly | 03:34 |
| vertana | andypls1: If you do upgrade, a clean install is best if you can lose files or back them up. YMMV means your mileage may very. Meaning it may be different for you then everybody else. | 03:35 |
| gnutron | andypls1: you got a nvidia glitch is all | 03:35 |
| gnutron | andypls1: have you booted a frsh xorg.conf? | 03:35 |
| ale1 | the drive it self works ...opens ...closed ....LED on the front checks and looks at what disk is put in...its like LINUX is blocking the laser inside | 03:35 |
| linux_guy | how do you start vmware? | 03:35 |
| andypls1 | gnutron: i don't know what that is | 03:35 |
| ale1 | and yes i am kind of a nub | 03:35 |
| andypls1 | vertana: do you suggest a clean install or an upgrade? | 03:35 |
| ale1 | NOOB | 03:35 |
| benh | temppy / rww : rebooting did it, damn ! looks like we are regressing down to win95 level :-) | 03:36 |
| benh | thanks anyway, bbl | 03:36 |
| ari_stress | morning all :) | 03:36 |
| gnutron | andypls1: did you edit nvidia back in | 03:36 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | kristian_, could look in lshw -C Network | 03:36 |
| The_Z | linux_guy: point your web browser to port 8222 | 03:36 |
| goexplode | ari_stress: good evening :-p | 03:36 |
| vertana | andypls1: if you can help it do a clean install (since xorg changed a lot), but yes you did boot into a fresh xorg.conf. | 03:36 |
| andypls1 | gnutron: yes i did | 03:36 |
| lifenova1 | linux_guy: type vmware in a terminal :) | 03:36 |
| The_Z | linux_guy: ..or, ./vmware | 03:36 |
| mib_9obidcle | vertana: back again ok, after updating to the 177 nvida driver, i now get an error message and have to run thev gui in low res mode 800*600. the error is failed to load kernal modual | 03:36 |
| Rapture | usser: i did mount -o rsize=32,wsize=32 10.X.X.X:/media/WD250 Z: | 03:36 |

| mib_9obidcle | vertana: module | 03:37 |
| hn | hello... East Timor | 03:37 |

| The_Z | linux_guy: did you install vix? | 03:37 |
| temppy | DarkWolf29: cool, glad it worked out | 03:37 |
| ale1 | is there a linux version of Device man. that i can "uninstall" the optical drive then scan for hardware changes | 03:37 |

| Rapture | and ping both ways | 03:38 |
| ale1 | is there a linux version of Device man. that i can "uninstall" the optical drive then scan for hardware changes | 03:38 |
| raz0o0x | is there any other file except for .bashrc where one might set PATH when the terminal loads? | 03:38 |
| vertana | andypls1: It's better to do a clean install, because you can start from square one and any changes beyond default will be wiped. In other words, anything changed by you or anyone else won't matter and you can just enable the driver via Hardware Drivers. | 03:38 |
| kristian_ | temppy & n3m0 : couldn't get any of those commands to work. sorry about the slow response. | 03:39 |
| vertana | mib_9obidcle: What do you mean module? | 03:39 |
| usser | Rapture: did u sudo exportfs -a, after modifying your /etc/exports? restart nfs server on ubuntu as well, sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-server restart | 03:39 |
| Killeroid | sagredo: are you using ubuntu 8.10 or ubuntu 9.04? | 03:39 |
| * The_Z is TheZ | 03:39 | |
| andypls1 | vertana: so i have to make a bootable cd etc etc | 03:39 |
| Rapture | i believe i did, lemme try again | 03:39 |
| ttmrichter | How does one add archive types to file-roller: specifically I'd like to be able to compress/decompress/tar/etc. using lzma, not just gzip and bzip2. | 03:39 |
| gnutron | andypls1: well, the module looks ok. | 03:39 |
| usser | Rapture: try mounting it from another linux machine, if u have one :) | 03:39 |
| hn | welcome to my blogsite www.cristalopensource.blogspot.com, i hope just fun 2 u all | 03:39 |
| Rapture | i don't right now :/ | 03:39 |
| andypls1 | gnutron: what else do you want me to do'? | 03:39 |
| vertana | andypls1: Yessir. Just download the cd and then right click on the resulting .iso and write cd. I honestly don't think you're current install is beyond repair though. | 03:40 |
| sagredo | can someone help me get my apache server running? | 03:40 |
| Rapture | afk... lemme try rebooting both my server and my box | 03:40 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | roxazer, env --unset=MANPATH | 03:40 |
| Rapture | er.. brb that is | 03:40 |
| temppy | kristian_: what command? I forgot | 03:40 |
| Killeroid | ttmrichter: sudo apt-get install lzma | 03:40 |

| hn | r u all linux members... plase confirm my chat.. | 03:40 |
| andypls1 | vertana: yes i prefer to repair it than upgrade | 03:40 |
| andypls1 | :( | 03:40 |
| gnutron | andypls1: run sudo depmod ..but it looks like its loaded, i need to see your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to know for sure | 03:41 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: lzma is installed. File-roller knows nothing about it. | 03:41 |
| ale1 | is there a linux version of Device man. that i can "uninstall" the optical drive then scan for hardware changes | 03:41 |
| Guest92610 | how do you install the movie/music codecs? | 03:41 |

| kristian_ | CoUrPsE|DeAd : i am already connected to wlan, so it doesn't give me info on other nearby wireless. :-/ or maybeim doing something wrong. | 03:41 |
| andypls1 | gnutron: my /var/log/Xorg.0.log is: | 03:41 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | So what eaxtly are you trying to figure out? | 03:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hn, Please stay on topic.. This is Ubuntu-Support | 03:41 |
| gnutron | andypls1: dont paste here | 03:41 |
| ale1 | Guest92610 just down load VLC | 03:41 |
| andypls1 | pastebin? | 03:41 |
| sagredo | can anyone help me with my apache2 | 03:41 |
| gnutron | andypls1: yes | 03:41 |
| temppy | ale1: I don't think there is such a device manager... sorry | 03:41 |
| vertana | andypls1: Then just provide us with link. | 03:41 |
| lifenova1 | !ask | sagredo | 03:41 |
| ubottu | sagredo: 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. :-) | 03:41 |
| ale1 | i do i "reinstall" drivers for my CDROM | 03:42 |
| usser | ale1: how do you figure your cdrom doesnt work? | 03:42 |
| * CoUrPsE|DeAd waits for an answer. | 03:42 | |
| usser | ale1: whats the error? | 03:42 |
| temppy | kristian_: now I remember. But you were only given a single command. We both gave the same command | 03:42 |
| vertana | ale1: That shouldn't be needed in Linux. It is NOT a driver issue if your BIOS cannot even see the drive. | 03:42 |
| sagredo | I updated to the latest build of Ubuntu and now my apache2 server config is not servering files: what gives?!?!?!?!?!? | 03:43 |
| hn | have new version from ubuntu 4 hackers nubuntu... plase downlods in www.nubuntu.org | 03:43 |
| ale1 | it does not see ANY Disks in any OS | 03:43 |
| ale1 | vista xp or linux mint | 03:43 |
| ale1 | it sees the drive just fine | 03:43 |
| mib_9obidcle | usser: put the ubuntu boot cd in there and see if u can boot ubuntu, :P | 03:43 |
| andypls1 | http://pastebin.com/m7595d5e7 | 03:43 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Um, it physcially broke? | 03:43 |
| ale1 | no | 03:43 |
| vertana | ale1: I understand that, but seeing as it crosses both OS's and even the BIOS it is a physical problem to be sure. | 03:43 |
| runderwo | sagredo: what's the error message? | 03:43 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | How do you know its not if it doesnt work on ny | 03:43 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | How do you know its not if it doesnt work on any OS? | 03:43 |
| sagredo | runderwo:Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost. | 03:44 |
| albuntu | ale1: its a physical problem or your bios has a problem. have you tried your cdrom in another pc ? | 03:44 |
| ale1 | the bios sees it and so does the drive itself...you can hear the Disks spool up and the LED on the front acts normal | 03:44 |
| raz0o0x | CoUrPsE|DeAd: typing env --unset=MANPATH does not work. When I echo $MANPATH it remains set to "/home/eyurtsev/root_518/man". Whenever I load a new terminal, that's the default value it gets. | 03:44 |
| ale1 | yes .... | 03:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ale1, Did you just put that drive in yourself | 03:44 |
| ale1 | i used a USB to sata cable | 03:44 |
| ale1 | yes i did ...both of the drives did the same thing...worked until i booted into linux | 03:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ale1, that is the problem | 03:45 |
| kristian_ | temppy : yeah. let my say it more correctly. i want terminal to print what ssid's it can find. (however i am already connected to my wireless and dont want to drop) | 03:45 |
| ale1 | then it made all disk unreadable | 03:45 |
| andypls1 | gnutron: i pastebined it | 03:45 |
| vertana | andypls1: Under hardware Drivers is Nvidia 169 the "recommended" driver? | 03:45 |
| andypls1 | vertana: no it's 8 | 03:45 |

| vertana | mib_9obidcle: If you do a fresh install, do 8.10 and then just go under Administration > Hardware Drivers and enable Nvidia from there. the 177 driver. It will ask for a reboot. Just reboot and it should work fine. | 03:46 |

| raz0o0x | CoUrPsE|DeAd: I just began using linux, so I'm not really sure what the default values should be | 03:47 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | raz0o0x, Looking at my env, there is no default variable for MANPATH. | 03:47 |
| vertana | andypls1: For a series 8 card I believe you need the 177 driver. And in your Xorg file you uploaded it says you have the 169 driver. | 03:47 |
| ale1 | you know how if you use a USB drive to quick between windows and linux.....it put certain flags on the drive...thats what my CDROM is acting link | 03:47 |

| raz0o0x | CoUrPsE|DeAd: they are not working until I do "unset MANPATH" each time I load a new terminal. after I do that they work. It's just annoying and I thought there was a simple way to diagnose where this variable was being set | 03:53 |

| mike1980 | ale1: it is a DVD-R | 03:55 |
| kristian_ | temppy : alright, thanks. :-) i will look into it. i guess it will only give one wireless network, if your connected to one, and maybe several if your not connected to any. just guessing. | 03:55 |
| rdw200169 | ale1: if it's a driver issue, you should google the brand name with 'ubuntu' and see if someone has a fix | 03:55 |
| andypls1 | vertana: yes now it does say that | 03:55 |
| andypls1 | but the enable box is not clicked | 03:55 |

| rdw200169 | themind: because that is known to cause problems, really, it's the only problem, most hardware related configurations should be done in Config.wtf for WoW | 04:00 |
| Flannel | ale1: you have to run `sudo mount -a` (or reboot, sure) | 04:00 |
| rdw200169 | themind: that, and make sure you run winecfg to make sure sound works there first | 04:00 |

| kristian_ | i have installed openssh-server on my ubuntu machine. i can access my machine via ssh/sftp over wlan using my account created on install. is it possible to setup a a sftp (not ssh) that can access a certain dir and all lower dir and download content, but not delete or add content? as a single terminal command? | 04:00 |
| rdw200169 | themind: b/c wine is going to trick the application anyway into thinking it's using direct sound | 04:00 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: it just plain doesn't recognize the file type. | 04:00 |
| vertana | andypls1: Neither one of us do, but I have a feeling it's a conflict of packages... I have nothing to back that up except my NVIDIA driver breaking many times back in the day. my advice is to start from square one just so we know it's nothing you did or tried (not to insult you, it's just I broke my own drivers MANY times doing same thing) | 04:01 |
| andypls1 | gnutron is there anything else i should do? | 04:01 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: I open up a directory with several .lzma and .tar.lzma files. They're not flagged as archive file types. Right-clicking on them doesn't give file-roller as an option to open them. | 04:01 |
| linux_guy | how can i login to vmware? it says i dont have permissions? | 04:02 |
| andypls1 | vertana that's means install a fress distro? | 04:02 |
| themind | how do I make hidden folders visible | 04:02 |
| andypls1 | fresh* | 04:02 |
| vertana | andypls1: in a terminal run sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change under driver "nvidia" (or whichever driver you're running) to "nv" and under synaptic search nvidia and uninstall everything you see marked and afterwards reboot. This will start us from square one. | 04:02 |
| Killeroid | ttmrichter: ah, what version of ubuntu are you using? i know for a fact that there was a problem with file-roller recognzing .lzma files but ti was fixed in ubuntu 8.10(intrepid) | 04:03 |
| Killeroid | *it | 04:03 |
| vertana | andypls1: This is the only thing I can think of before a fresh install (trying to avoid that) | 04:03 |
| andypls1 | vertana: is the xserver going to start? | 04:03 |
| jedi06 | how do you check ip stuff? | 04:03 |
| vertana | andypls1: Yes, that's why I told you to change that word in paranthesis to "nv". It will load that driver instead of the one in question. | 04:03 |
| rdw200169 | themind: ls -a | 04:03 |
| goexplode | !ifconfig | jedi06 | 04:04 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ifconfig | 04:04 |
| vertana | That way when you boot it loads up the safe "nv" driver. And after you change that, delete everything nvidia. | 04:04 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: 8.04. 8.10 breaks my video card, so upgrading is not an option. (This is an increasing problem with Ubuntu: later versions break things that worked fine in earlier versions.) Is there a backport of an unbroken file-roller for 8.04 perhaps? | 04:04 |
| andypls1 | vertana: synaptic search nvidia <- where do i do that? i mean... how? | 04:04 |
| rdw200169 | ttmrichter: have you tried restoring your old xorg.conf file? | 04:04 |
| goexplode | jedi06: ifconfig -a ...depends on what you're looking fod | 04:05 |
| tightlines | try sudo /sbin/ifconfig -a | 04:05 |
| rdw200169 | ttmrichter: the biggest problem has to do with the new xorg.conf-less server | 04:05 |
| ale1 | my CDROM can still not see the media inside it | 04:05 |
| vertana | go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager and at the top click searh. | 04:05 |
| vertana | search* | 04:05 |
| andypls1 | ok | 04:05 |
| gnutron | themind: in nautilus ctrl+h | 04:05 |

| quiksilver | how do i update my version of python? | 04:06 |
| ttmrichter | rdw200169: The issue isn't resolution. The issue is that it doubles up the columns with one column of coloured pixels, one column of black. | 04:06 |
| rww | kattollikisd: /join #openoffice.org | 04:06 |
| vertana | gnutron: I'm starting us from square one. I have him defaulting to nv driver and deleting everything nvidia. afterwards we will reboot and try enabling via hardware driver menu | 04:06 |
| rdw200169 | ttmrichter: wow, that's pretty rough | 04:06 |
| ttmrichter | rdw200169: It is the driver that is broken, not the xorg.conf. Basically SiS support is broken completely in 8.10 -- there's at least a dozen (ignored) bug reports on it already. | 04:06 |
| rdw200169 | ttmrichter: in 8.10, there's no xorg.conf file? | 04:06 |
| gnutron | vertana: good idea | 04:06 |
| vertana | gnutron: This is to avoid the user errors that may have happened. | 04:06 |
| andypls1 | gnutron i did that. vertana: i am on KDE, i can't find it | 04:07 |
| quiksilver | how do i get my python to version 2.6 | 04:07 |
| rdw200169 | ttmrichter: ohhh, i didn't know that! i was assuming either fglrx or nvidia... | 04:07 |

| rdw200169 | quicksilver_: hm, i thought they went 2.6 in 8.10, i was wrong, i wonder if there is a backport from jaunty... | 04:08 |
| gnutron | andypls1: synaptic would be nice, not sure about kde | 04:08 |
| vertana | gnutron: Will adept provide the search function we need to find nvidia packages? | 04:09 |
| andypls1 | verana: sudo: synaptic: command not found | 04:09 |
| gnutron | vertana: ive never used adept | 04:09 |
| kattollikisd | someone here can tell me the channel for Open Offices pleases? And thank you... | 04:09 |
| vertana | andypls1: Ok then just try adept. If it has a search that's all we need. Search for "nvidia" and remove all packages that are marked as install. | 04:09 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: no change it seems. | 04:10 |
| gnutron | andypls1: system-administration-synaptic package manager | 04:10 |

| kattollikisd | thanks jp_sf | 04:10 |
| andypls1 | vertana: ok i know how to do that, i use it all the time. but that mean is also remove nvidia-settings? | 04:10 |

| Rapture | usser: I've got a nice new problem... when I log into the server (putty) and do ls /media/WD250, it will lock up the drive... any idea why? | 04:11 |
| vertana | andypls1: The point here is to get nvidia off your computer. | 04:11 |
| andypls1 | vertana: nvidia-settings is one of them | 04:11 |
| andypls1 | ok | 04:11 |
| vertana | andypls1: Get rid of all of it. (just to be safe) | 04:11 |
| Rapture | usser: i booted my laptop into ubuntu (thumb drive) and I was able to mount the NFS share and do an ls, but once I mounted Vista to it, it locked the drive... | 04:12 |
| quiksilver | certainly someone has to know how to update my version of python? | 04:12 |

| rdw200169 | quiksilver: it's not really that simple, python upgrades require all the code to be changed | 04:13 |
| jedi06 | usb wont work and file sharing wont work becuase i can't get guest additions so only thing i can do is use some kind of network solution | 04:13 |
| jp_sf | quiksilver: honnestly if I wanted to upgrade to 2. I would take the tar | 04:13 |
| rdw200169 | quiksilver: that means all (i mean *all*) the modules have to work w/2.5 | 04:13 |
| andypls1 | vertana: ok now i am nvidia free, starting from page 1. what do i do? | 04:13 |
| rdw200169 | quiksilver: i mean 2.6 | 04:13 |

| gnutron | andypls1: in synaptic that is | 04:34 |

| jedi06 | i don't know porbably the client so i can access shared folder on my windows os | 04:34 |
| kj-victory | sukiminna: That worked! Thanks! | 04:34 |
| vertana | andypls1: Go with gnutron for a bit. See what he's got :) | 04:34 |
| jedi06 | dmizer^ | 04:34 |

| andypls1 | guys i don't know what to do | 04:35 |
| usser | Bllasae: once done install libdvdcss2 by typing sudo apt-get instal libdvdcss2 | 04:35 |
| andypls1 | gnutron: it doesn't appear in the list. what do i do from there? | 04:35 |
| vertana | eyehatesludge: I think I remember having this problem... If I remember right (years ago...) run it as root and then disable the polling of 'controllers' in zsnes and it should be fine if that's the only error. | 04:35 |
| dmizer | jedi06: have a look here -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534 | 04:35 |
| vertana | eyehatesludge: For the future running stuff as root unnecessarily is NEVER a good idea. | 04:35 |
| eyehatesludge | vertana: so just type sudo zsnes? | 04:36 |
| gnutron | andypls1: open a terminal and copy/paste this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:36 |
| eyehatesludge | thats what ive heard | 04:36 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: once I've got the data in there, do I then have to kill nautilus or something? | 04:36 |
| Bllasae | usser: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list where do i put this? | 04:36 |
| vertana | gnutron: for a distro he'll have to gksudo "update-manager -d" | 04:36 |
| vertana | eyehatesludge: Yes. | 04:36 |
| andypls1 | gnutron: ok i did. is it upgrading to 8.10? | 04:36 |
| gnutron | Bllasae: the command does the work,keep on truckin' | 04:36 |
| eyehatesludge | different error message now | 04:37 |
| dmizer | anyone at all know how to import dsa.ppk keys into filezilla on a linux client? | 04:37 |
| Bllasae | gnutron: Where do i put it though? in the terminal | 04:37 |
| usser | Bllasae: on the terminal, press ALT+F2 type gnome-terminal paste that line in a window that opens | 04:37 |
| eyehatesludge | was there anything i was supposed to have installed before i installed zsnes | 04:37 |
| Rapture2k4 | usser: ok, as soon as I mount the NFS with Ubuntu-LiveCD, I can ls once, do a cd and the next ls locks the drive.. | 04:37 |
| kyleR | whats sidux? cause i get it for ubuntu 8.10 | 04:37 |
| gnutron | andypls1: ok, just for kicks see if your restricted drivers show anything | 04:37 |
| andypls1 | gnutron: it finised. after that? | 04:37 |
| vertana | andypls1: after you put in the command gnutron does it only does a 'regular' upgrade. If it STILL does not work then we will upgrade your distribution :) | 04:37 |
| gnutron | Bllasae: yes paste it in a terminal | 04:37 |
| vertana | andypls1: Is it in the list now? | 04:37 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: yeah, adding the data changes nothing. I'll just chalk it up to Yet Another Mysterious Ubuntu Failure and give up at this point. | 04:37 |
| Bllasae | usser: doesn't work | 04:38 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: that is weird. maybe it has something to do with nfs share being a mounted drive, try sharing a different directory see if that changes anything | 04:38 |
| usser | !doesn't work | 04:38 |
| Barridus | hey all, is there a good place to get scripts for xchat? i'm having trouble finding one with an autorejoin in the event of a prank kick from a devious op XD | 04:38 |

| * nickrud lies in wait for Barridus ;) | 04:38 | |
| vertana | andypls1: Ok, copy/paste into your terminal. gksudo "update-manager -d" That will do a distro upgrade. | 04:39 |
| Killeroid | ttmrichter: and then kill all instances of file-roller and nautilus, that should work | 04:39 |

| ttmrichter | Killeroid: "sudo update-mime-database -V /usr/share/mime/packages/" "Directory '/usr/share/mime/packages/packages' does not exist!" Should I get rid of "packages" at the end? | 04:39 |
| andypls1 | vertana: ok i did | 04:39 |
| vertana | gnutron: Earlier I asked if he had custom programs: a few. Server software? no. IT'll be ok, I think. | 04:40 |
| Y-Town | When using terminal server client on ubuntu to view a win xp box in full screen is there a way to toggle back and forth from one system to the other without having to disconnect from the win xp box to go back to ubuntu? | 04:40 |

| usser | Bllasae: that was fine, not paste this line sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 04:40 |
| vertana | andypls1: Update manager should come up with a button to upgrade to 8.10 :) | 04:40 |
| usser | Bllasae: after this one is done, paste sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 | 04:40 |
| andypls1 | vertana : it didn't! | 04:40 |
| Killeroid | ttmrichter: oops, i added one last slash it should be sudo update-mime-databse /usr/share/mime/packages | 04:40 |
| andypls1 | it didn't come, i am on KDE | 04:40 |
| andypls1 | kubuntu | 04:40 |
| gnutron | vertana: just my opinion but i've had best performance with default drivers and ive tried them all. but they are all ATI. | 04:40 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: i'm sorry, im running out of ideas, it used to just work for me back in the day | 04:40 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: When I try it without "/packages/" at the end, I get an error on all three added types (x-lzma, x-lzma-compressed-tar, x-lzop) complaining about unknown freedesktop.org field 'generic-icon'. | 04:40 |

| vertana | andypls1: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:53 |
| ttmrichter | I'm just basically sticking with 8.04 until it doesn't do the job anymore and then switching to whichever distro is more responsive thereafter. | 04:53 |
| ziv | not one here | 04:53 |
| vertana | gnutron: That will get the job done. | 04:53 |
| dmizer | jedi06: you can still transfer files between your guest and host. if you need them to be on the same subnet, you'll need to configure virtualbox for bridged networking. | 04:53 |
| andypls1 | vertana: ok | 04:53 |
| tweak | anyone good with graphics problems? | 04:53 |
| ziv | does any one can tell me what difference between dist-upgrade and upgrade? | 04:54 |
| Killeroid | ttmrichter: do you have a link for the video car bug on bugzilla | 04:54 |
| gnutron | andypls1: i'm looking at 8.04 to 8.10 upgrade for kde, it says type that command, so go ahead. | 04:54 |
| Flannel | ziv: dist-upgrade will bring in new dependencies, upgrade won't. | 04:54 |
| tweak | my videocard is bugzilla lol | 04:54 |
| vertana | andypls1: Type that in a terminal and it should upgrade you to 8.10. It will take a while though and you'll have to restart afterwards. I have cable internet and it took about an hour and 20 minutes. | 04:54 |
| bullgard4 | ziv: dist-upgrade is via the Internet. upgrade is via a CD locally. | 04:54 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: Hang on. Let me look again. (And it was launchpad I was searching, not bugzilla. What's bugzilla?) | 04:54 |
| andypls1 | vertana: maybe i should do it when i have more time? | 04:55 |
| Flannel | ziv: Most of the time, you'll only experience this with kernel versions. Since the kernel packages will change names (linux-image-version1 to linux-image-version2) with just "upgrade" your metapackages will be held back, because it won't automatically install -version2, dist-upgrade will. | 04:55 |
| vertana | gnutron: apt-get is desktop independent which is why I said that one. your command would work too but without the devel option. | 04:55 |
| gnutron | andypls1: it will probably prompt you a few times, one may say delete obsolete packages, could be triple digits, go ahead and do it. | 04:55 |
| vertana | andypls1: It's fine, you can just let it run :) | 04:55 |
| ziv | oh i used upgrade last second... | 04:55 |
| linux_guy | installed vmware successfully (thanks you guys) and i would like to install my guest OS which is an ISO file on the desktop ATM.... how can i mount the ISO rather than burn it? | 04:55 |
| Killeroid | ttmrichter: dammit, i really suck a multitasking. yes, i meant launchpad, bugzilla is a bug tracker tool a lot of otehr projects use | 04:55 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: Here is one of many: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/291294 | 04:56 |
| vertana | andypls1: I think I had to download 1025 packages... it'll be a minute :) (I did this last week myself and had no problems) | 04:56 |
| andypls1 | ok | 04:56 |
| andypls1 | thanks for ALL the help | 04:56 |
| gnutron | vertana: i dont know why nor never seen the -devel option for normal dist-upgrades before | 04:56 |
| andypls1 | ! :) | 04:56 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: just search for 8.10 or Intrepid and SiS and look for the list of complaints. | 04:56 |
| ziv | am i supports to using dist-upgrade 2 upgrade once?? | 04:56 |
| tweak | hm.. so I can't fix my graphics card.. | 04:56 |
| kyleR | how do i know the path to prefix of kde4 installation? | 04:56 |
| vertana | gnutron: That's how you upgrade to the latest... the betas or alphas lol. The development versions :D | 04:56 |
| tweak | back to windows i guess | 04:56 |
| gnutron | tweak: i dont think theres much you can do, googleearth is really intensive | 04:57 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: Ooh! Change since I last checked: they finally acknowledged it as "confirmed". They haven't decided if a show-stopper video bug is important or not, though.... | 04:57 |
| vertana | tweak: what graphics card you have? | 04:57 |
| ttmrichter | And haven't assigned it to anybody. | 04:57 |
| tweak | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 04:57 |
| linux_guy | anybody know vmware? | 04:58 |
| gnutron | vertana: the update notes dont say thats the recommended way for desktops.... hrm. | 04:58 |
| dmizer | linux_guy, all you have to do is add the iso file to the guest settings after you create the initial disk. | 04:58 |
| vertana | tweak: With just a built in card google earth will be SLOW (Which I assume is your problem?), but that is OS independent. Just need a better card :) | 04:58 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: does nfs client for windows work with that other directory that u exported? | 04:58 |
| kyleR | how do i know the path to prefix of kde4 installation? | 04:58 |
| gnutron | vertana: damnit, rather they do say, do it that way. | 04:59 |
| rww | kyleR: what do you need it for? | 04:59 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Who ever susgested devilspie to me is a legand, works exactly what i wanted, thanks alot. | 04:59 |
| ziv | i just done that~~ | 04:59 |
| Killeroid | ttmrichter: yeah, that sucks, well, i hope its gets fixed soon | 04:59 |
| kyleR | i need to do this in order to install ktorrent: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`.. | 04:59 |
| vertana | gnutron: I'm telling you he woulda been at 9.04 then REALLY confused as why it's broken :p | 04:59 |
| linux_guy | dmizer, i'm a first timer with vmware | 04:59 |
| tweak | vertana : nope it's not slow at all.. the earth just appears all garbled | 04:59 |
| crdlb | tweak: if you're still trying to run google earth, make sure compiz is disabled | 04:59 |
| linux_guy | dmizer: i created a guest os in vmware | 04:59 |
| Rapture2k4 | usser: give me just a second | 04:59 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: I'm not exactly holding my breath on this. ;) I'm investigating Slackware as an alternative instead. (They don't break my video card.:D) | 04:59 |
| gnutron | tweak: its the program not your machine | 05:00 |
| dmizer | linux_guy: then click on the settings for cdrom and tell it to use the iso instead of the actual disk. | 05:00 |
| vertana | tweak: Once again still graphics card. It's not driver because intel generally speaking has very good drivers for their products. I'm inclined to say that it's the low VRAM on that graphics chip. | 05:00 |
| gnutron | vertana: oh i see, no it says 8.04 to 8.10 | 05:00 |
| tweak | crdlb : how do I disable/enable it? | 05:00 |
| Rapture2k4 | usser: Yep, works just fine | 05:00 |
| ziv | how 2 install w32codecs? | 05:00 |
| tweak | vertana : it works under xp | 05:00 |
| vertana | gnutron: You sure about that? I had that problem with a built-in nvidia card. It was just a low vram problem | 05:01 |
| Rapture2k4 | well, actually, i can't write to the drive | 05:01 |
| opera | !atipi | 05:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about atipi | 05:01 |
| Rapture2k4 | access denied | 05:01 |
| crdlb | tweak: system > preferences > appearance > visual effects > none | 05:01 |
| vertana | tweak: If that's the case... does compiz work? | 05:01 |
| vertana | crdlb: Thanks, beat me to it :) | 05:01 |
| gnutron | vertana: at this juncture im not sure of anything! | 05:01 |
| binarymu1ant | does anyone know an alternative to dzen2? | 05:01 |
| tweak | vertana: I have desktop effects.... i could give you my compiz output? | 05:01 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: try specifying your username with mount command on windows, i believe the switch is -o username | 05:02 |
| vertana | gnutron: We seem to have hit that point quite a few times tonight :) | 05:02 |
| linux_guy | dmizer: for vmware 2.0? | 05:02 |
| jedi06 | dmizer i don't think i can do that tutorial becuase i can't reboot i'm using livecd | 05:02 |
| vertana | tweak: Just turn off effects and then retry google earth. | 05:02 |
| gnutron | tweak: disable compiz! i didnt think of that | 05:02 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: so the issue is nfs export on external harddrive then | 05:02 |
| linux_guy | dmizer: when I run vmware from terminal, it takes me to http://127.0.0.1 port 8222 | 05:02 |

| linux_guy | dmizer: vmware infrastructure web access | 05:03 |
| gnutron | vertana: this stuff is easy to do, just hard to teach/coach. | 05:03 |
| tweak | I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 05:03 |
| vertana | gnutron: Yeah, it was kind of hard even telling andy basic stuff that we just assume people know :p | 05:03 |
| jedi06 | dmizer i'm using ubuntu_recovery_remix it is only command line | 05:03 |
| vertana | tweak: Glad we could all help :) | 05:04 |
| tweak | been working on this for two days and all I had to do was take off my vidual effects! | 05:04 |
| gnutron | vertana: exactly | 05:04 |
| dmizer | linux_guy, there is a web interface for all the settings. use the web interface to change the settings for the cdrom. | 05:04 |

| ari_stress | hi guys, i heart that the next ubuntu will use EXT4? | 05:05 |
| gnutron | vertana: live and learn, roger that | 05:05 |
| Flannel | ari_stress: Perhaps. You should ask in #ubuntu+1 | 05:05 |
| === HarassmentPanda is now known as HarassmentPanda| | ||
| vertana | gnutron: And actually andy had a lot of patience with us... and asked the right questions too! | 05:05 |
| tweak | eno-el_tk it doesn't come with irc, you have to download it. but it has pidgeon instant messenger.. i don't like it though, so I installed Kopete | 05:05 |
| Killeroid | ttmrichter: something about blacklisting the old driver an using sisfb driver | 05:05 |
| ari_stress | thanks Flannel | 05:05 |
| gnutron | ari_stress: thats the word yup, ext4 i hear it smokes | 05:05 |
| tweak | NOW. I have a very interesting question.... how do you patch a kernel? | 05:06 |
| dmizer | jedi06, you'll have to configure the host for bridged networking. if once you do that, then you should be able to follow the howto without rebooting. | 05:06 |
| ttmrichter | Killeroid: interesting. I'll flag that and when I'm next in a position to test I'll give it a shot. Thanks. | 05:06 |
| Rapture2k4 | usser: same issue | 05:06 |
| sukiminna | is there any way that i can play games like ra3 on ubuntu | 05:06 |
| linux_guy | dmizer: i have the virtual machines tab selected, and my options for the selected vm are: remove vm, power off, suspend, reset, shut down, restart, etc | 05:07 |
| vertana | sukiminna: ra3? | 05:07 |
| binarymu1ant | 1/quit | 05:07 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: im sorry, im lost here... | 05:07 |
| gnutron | tweak: you dont wanna do that, stick with the rpeo's | 05:07 |
| dmizer | linux_guy: i don't recall the web access client very well. i only used it briefly. but it's easy enough to do just by clicking in the settings of the guess.] | 05:07 |
| Rapture2k4 | me too | 05:07 |
| linux_guy | dmizer: so far i have named and identified it but not installed | 05:07 |
| Rapture2k4 | gonna post on the forums | 05:07 |
| sukiminna | vertana: red alert 3 | 05:07 |
| gnutron | tweak: repositories | 05:07 |
| vertana | sukiminna: I'll assume that's windows only. Best bet is wine or www.playonlinux.com | 05:07 |
| usser | Rapture2k4: they gonna suggest samba :) | 05:07 |
| dmizer | linux_guy: even if you're not installed yet, you can still change the settings for the virtual guest in the web interface unless you didn't configure the base drive correctly. | 05:08 |
| tweak | i'm trying to get Ubuntu to read a fatx filesystem from an xbox, and everything i look up points to patching the kernel? | 05:08 |
| rdw200169 | sukiminna: have you checked the wine appdb? | 05:08 |
| mike1980 | anyone know anything about this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/31709 | 05:08 |
| chrisbdaemon | hey, i have a question.. i'm wanting to use ubuntu to learn x86 assembler and i'm told that theres probably some protections in place that would make reading disassembled apps overly complex.. what kind of protections would that be | 05:08 |
| vertana | tweak: I won't lie, that'll probably take skills. MS Secrets and Linux don't work so well together... | 05:08 |
| sukiminna | vertana: tried wine before..even old games rise of nation doesnt really work | 05:08 |
| rdw200169 | chrisbdaemon: if i'm not mistaken, protected memory makes assembly difficult | 05:08 |
| vertana | sukiminna: Also depends on your graphics card and which drivers you need and such. | 05:09 |
| dmizer | linux_guy jedi06: sorry i have to cut out. | 05:09 |
| rdw200169 | chrisbdaemon: it's both a processor and a software feature working together | 05:09 |
| tweak | dunno bout that, I had my fatx partition mounted on gentoox (xbox linux) | 05:09 |
| linux_guy | dmizer: thanks | 05:09 |
| jedi06 | dmizer thanks | 05:09 |
| sukiminna | vertana: it runs on xp. | 05:09 |
| chrisbdaemon | rdw200169: is there a way to disable it? | 05:09 |
| Rapture2k4 | usser: figured it out... forgot to do chmod -R 777 /directory | 05:09 |
| sukiminna | vertana: still need dual booting for gaming i guess. :( | 05:10 |
| Rapture2k4 | lemme try it on the USB drive... | 05:10 |
| rdw200169 | chrisbdaemon: hah, no, if you had full access with assembler code, who's to say that hackers don't also have that access? | 05:10 |
| gnutron | tweak: you can mount fat filesystems but i know nothing about xboxes, ps2's etc. | 05:10 |
| vertana | sukiminna: Unfortunately, thats more common than you think : / | 05:10 |
| tweak | you want gaming go get an Xbox 360 | 05:10 |

| superkuh | On 8.04.1 64bit I encountered an error (seemingly a architecture sub-naming triviality) that does not allow the recommended update for 'util-linux' to install. I think a fix can be had by editing a perl, Errno.pl, but I am not sure if this will influence other things. In detail: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105079/ Regardless, I can't install any updates with util-linux causing a failure. So, can I manually edit this file? Is there another way aroun | 05:10 |

| rdw200169 | chrisbdaemon: trust me, the linux kernel is not gonna let you go in there and screw around with the interrupts | 05:12 |

| tweak | well thank you all very much. I'm sure i will return for one reason or another :) | 05:16 |

| tweak | question : why does everything look so much nicer in linux compared to windows? | 05:26 |
| Dr_willis | tweak, thats the 'joy of freedom' | 05:26 |
| vertana | clarks: What chipset do you have? | 05:26 |
| clarks | intel.. | 05:26 |
| zgold | Hi! I just did a fresh install of 8.10 and am attempting to enable the nvidia restricted driver. I click the activate button, type my password and it thinks for maybe half a second then does nothing. (The text still says the driver is inactive) | 05:26 |
| clarks | i think so.. | 05:26 |
| vertana | tweak: Not everything crashes at once? Objects may appear to work :p | 05:26 |
| vertana | clarks: visit that page I posted above and see if the same thing will work for you :) | 05:27 |
| tweak | anyone know what the art of plastic canvas is? I got my girlfriend to make me a 3d penguin with a red hat and linux across his belly lol | 05:27 |
| tweak | vertana: hahah yeah why does linux work? I thought operating systems were built for agitation? | 05:28 |
| vertana | tweak: Take a picture and imageshack it! :p | 05:28 |

| eyehatesludge | has anyone else had trouble installing zsnes | 05:28 |
| Ahadiel | zgold, Make sure you're up to date and try again. | 05:28 |
| jrolland-MacBook | Is something wrong with ports.ubuntu.com? | 05:28 |
| vertana | tweak: Apparantly you've never tried to install an nvidia driver by hand (easier these days) or had a broken Xorg... those are the best! | 05:28 |
| Ahadiel | zgold, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:28 |
| clarks | vertana, i dont get it.. | 05:28 |
| rdw200169 | vertana: oh yes, | 05:29 |
| vertana | eyehatesludge: To be honest, zsnes is cool, but it's ALWAYS had problems, even on Windows. | 05:29 |
| vertana | rdw200169: Hm? | 05:29 |
| rdw200169 | vertana: it is *much* better nowdays | 05:29 |
| clarks | vertana can you help me how? | 05:29 |
| eyehatesludge | oh, vertana: dto leave did you see the error message i got when i ran it as root | 05:29 |
| zgold | Ahadiel: aha, that seemed to have done something. Now its "Downloading and installing driver..." (sitting at 0%...) | 05:29 |
| eyehatesludge | i had to leave* | 05:29 |
| rdw200169 | vertana: i remember trying to get fglrx working on 5.10... | 05:29 |
| clarks | how to check my chipset in terminal? | 05:29 |
| zgold | Ahadiel: there it goes. Thanks! | 05:29 |
| vertana | clarks: Go to the webpage and install the package listed under other known issues (first paragraph). Might work. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 05:29 |
| Ahadiel | zgold, No problem. | 05:29 |
| eyehatesludge | are there any other good snes emulators for linux | 05:29 |
| rdw200169 | vertana: and 5.04 | 05:29 |
| vertana | rdw200169: I remember installing nvidia by hand before Driver Manager... And that was only 2 years ago! (or roundabout) | 05:30 |
| rdw200169 | vertana: ah, those were the days... many hours trying to get wireless working when there were no drivers | 05:30 |
| kyleR | anyone run vuze? | 05:30 |
| gnutron | clarks: lspci in a terminal | 05:30 |
| tweak | vertana: I tried installing an intel driver by hand earlier and ended up spending 3 hours re-installing and updating. :p | 05:30 |
| rdw200169 | vertana: i learned a lot about linux then just trying to get it to work! | 05:30 |
| Brack10 | How can I send f10 to the Ubuntu terminal without it activating the file menu? | 05:30 |

| rdw200169 | vertana: yeah, my trials and tribulations with the nvidia drivers make me weary about upgrading... once i got dual monitors working with 3D acceleration and compiz on only one monitor... | 05:32 |

| gnutron | intel earnings dropped 90 per cent this year, i wonder why | 05:34 |
| tweak | i remember compiling wine from source on a 733mhz xbox..... 8 hours! | 05:34 |
| rdw200169 | vertana: ah, but, do you have compiz working, with different screens, i.e. none of that 'stretched desktop' stuff? | 05:34 |

| rokr1 | man any one with solution for 3945 | 05:37 |
| rdw200169 | lonel: it seems like there's something missing in pam | 05:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rdw200169, cairo-dock gives you decent mac bottom bar | 05:37 |
| rdw200169 | Jack_Sparrow: yes, and it doesn't ever crash, unlike awn | 05:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | agreed | 05:38 |
| rokr1 | will 3945 issue be solved in UBUNTU 9.04 | 05:38 |

| lonel | rdw200169: thanks :) | 05:39 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | I was wondering if anyone knows how to install a printer on Kubuntu KDE 4.1 | 05:40 |
| jedi06 | is pine available? | 05:40 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | noone seems to be talking in #kubuntu irc | 05:40 |
| hubar | How do you configure kde4 to use konqeror as default web browser? under intrepid. | 05:40 |
| razaccour | i tried kde and hated it, i'm a gnome guy | 05:40 |
| hubar | lol, people, we meet again. :) | 05:40 |
| rdw200169 | lonel: i'm assuming that linux is not creating the user directories the first time they log in | 05:41 |
| rdw200169 | lonel: that's what this is for: | 05:41 |
| gnutron | hubar: in your menu find preferred applications | 05:41 |
| rdw200169 | lonel: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/sag-pam_mkhomedir.html | 05:41 |
| razaccour | how do i stream from my tv to my laptop? my tv has the white, yellow, and red plug holes and my laptop has the normal hdmi prong port | 05:41 |
| grindking | it's hilarous since i can't use flash10 64bit smoothly fullscreen, i can just use zoom desktop in compiz and it works just as good | 05:41 |
| gnutron | hubar: but that could be a gnome thing. | 05:41 |
| rdw200169 | lonel: that should go in /etc/pam.d/common-session | 05:42 |
| vertana | grindking: Good results from flash? | 05:42 |
| rdw200169 | lonel: session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022 | 05:42 |
| lonel | rdw200169: i agree,there is a pam module to do that | 05:42 |
| rdw200169 | lonel: that should do it | 05:42 |
| rdw200169 | lonel: that's what the link pasted points to | 05:43 |
| lonel | rdw200169: yeah right,but i have the same issue even if i have the home directory created manually..looks like ldap users home directory is not visible to sshd or something | 05:43 |
| bret- | Hi | 05:43 |
| lonel | rdw200169: Could not chdir to home directory : No such file or directory | 05:43 |
| grindking | vertana: i didn't try that much, i followed the ubuntu steps on the main page, and installed what i think was 32bit ff and flash plugin | 05:43 |
| bret- | when I orig installed ubuntu, my bluetooth adapter on my laptop worked perfectly | 05:43 |
| lonel | rdw200169: but the directory exists | 05:44 |
| rdw200169 | lonel: you're using pam_ldap and pam_nss? | 05:44 |
| bret- | now I updated to 8.10 and she's no longer agreeing with me! | 05:44 |
| vertana | grindking: These days you shouldn't even need 32-bit FF. | 05:44 |
| grindking | vertana: and although pages do load that normally would crash in ff 64bit, if i try full screen it crashes | 05:44 |
| vertana | grindking: Hm... so 80% victory? :p | 05:44 |
| jigglypuff_ | jigglypuff! | 05:44 |

| gnutron | vertana: on a fast box....maybe | 05:45 |
| grindking | vertana: you said it pretty much perfectly, 80% | 05:45 |
| chieh | hello, i recently upgrade to 8.1 from 8.04, and all of the sudden my programs won't compile | 05:45 |
| grindking | if im scared of browsing pages that might crash, i can use ff32 | 05:45 |
| rdw200169 | lonel: that, and you still need all the pam_unix.so stuff, even if you're using ldap | 05:45 |
| grindking | if not, 64bit all the awy | 05:45 |
| grindking | either way im so happy vertana | 05:45 |
| chieh | it says that system is undeclared? has anyone run into this problem? | 05:45 |
| grindking | i just watched step brothers, x264, dts, 1080p, perfectly quality | 05:45 |
| vertana | grindking: Ah, I see. At least it's reported and all. | 05:45 |
| grindking | no vsync issues, video quality phenomenal | 05:45 |
| grindking | drank the whole movie, so i shouldn't even be irciing | 05:46 |
| rdw200169 | lonel: like the example in section 2.2.2.1 of that last link i pasted | 05:46 |
| grindking | vertana: it's just funny cuz you have an 'older' 64bit proc too | 05:46 |
| Ace2016_- | hi all | 05:46 |

| grindking | peoplesadvocate: yes. do you really have to say that afterwards in here? | 05:46 |

| jedi06 | sudo aptitude install pine | 06:12 |
| albuntu | infernal_jesus: when you right click the menus you have an option Edit Menus | 06:13 |
| albuntu | that would do what you want | 06:13 |
| Narcisha | robert__: first problem is that i need somewhere to get into the system, all i an do is some bogus radiobutton selections, which all leads to a lightblack screen and no further access except rebooting, its like the system cant find the updated things :/ | 06:13 |
| robert__ | So on boot do you get the Verbose messages - These are the list of things as they start | 06:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Narcisha, at the black screen ctrl-alt F1 and see if you get a term | 06:14 |
| Zemus | Hey, I've done this many times in the past, but I forgot the command to display a list of running processes? | 06:14 |

| robert__ | that was my next steps | 06:15 |
| n8tuser | Zemus-> ps | 06:15 |
| Narcisha | robert__: i get the splash screen, then it dissapears, i see the tty thingy, it flashes and stuff, and after 1'2 flashes it goes to the checkbox thingy which i cant get out from | 06:15 |
| n8tuser | Zemus-> ps -aux | 06:15 |

| infernal_jesus | n8tuser, oh right. Ubuntu.. oops. :D | 06:16 |
| gnutron | Narcisha: your usplash is broken | 06:16 |
| gnutron | Narcisha: try re-installing - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplash | 06:17 |
| Narcisha | i've reinstalled 4 times, this time it finally worked, until a reboot, which is when the gfx drivers stop working :/ | 06:17 |
| n8tuser | infernal_jesus-> btw, as unix based system, all commands ought to have - for opt | 06:17 |
| infernal_jesus | n8tuser, Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See /usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.7/FAQ | 06:18 |
| gnutron | tweak: thats wouldn't be easy, i surely don't know how, never tried. | 06:18 |
| infernal_jesus | :) | 06:18 |
| robert__ | gnutron how would this be done if the only access is via live disk is there an easy way to fix these things running from a live disk??? just as a currious side note | 06:18 |
| tweak | gnutron: Couldn't I just open the images and paint them different colours? | 06:18 |
| Dr_willis | I was thinkign the use of - was clarified a few years back - i recall ps, and tar, no longer needing - for the 'commands' to the command. but just for the 'arguments' to the commands... (or so i recall reading at the time) | 06:18 |

| infernal_jesus | Oh, write a program.. :P | 06:19 |
| SamIAM | Who didn't know I'd get a smart remark :) | 06:19 |
| On0bi | SamIAM: stop jerking | 06:19 |
| SamIAM | ok, laggy mouse | 06:19 |
| On0bi | lol | 06:19 |

| infernal_jesus | SamIAM, you sure it's a software issue? | 06:19 |
| robert__ | ok i'll play with it at some time | 06:20 |

| tweak | what is a gtk 2.x theme? | 06:32 |
| Qubits | Threetimes try GetDataBack | 06:32 |
| Qubits | or @active partition recovery | 06:32 |
| ydnhtuyrn | snot good | 06:32 |
| Threetimes | ok, btw is was fat32 | 06:32 |
| Qubits | GetDataBack | 06:32 |
| torrancew | sorry if i'm being a bother, but this is a rather odd problem - i have sound modules loaded, lspci returns my proper sound card, but alsa just isn't seeing it | 06:32 |
| quiksilver | bash: django-admin.py: command not found | 06:32 |
| Qubits | torrancew did you try running alsaconfig | 06:32 |
| quiksilver | im certain that i symlinked everything correctly | 06:33 |
| quiksilver | can someone please help me? | 06:33 |
| gnutron | tweak: I assume theme for gtk version 2.x | 06:33 |
| torrancew | qubits - command not found, and couldn't find it with apt either | 06:33 |
| Qubits | Ok guys I mounted my install in /media, I need to install grub, is there a way to change into my installation with some commands like chroot and more | 06:33 |
| Qubits | torrancew google what package its in | 06:33 |
| Qubits | It's really handy | 06:33 |
| Qubits | Sets it all up | 06:33 |
| tweak | <---- idiot. am I using that? I have no idea? Ubuntu8.10 | 06:34 |
| bamhm182 | hey, I was running Ubuntu a while back, and it was really good, however, every time I turned on my computer, I'd have to disconnect and reconnect my bluetooth keyboard/mouse, does anyone know if that has been fixed yet? | 06:34 |
| rww | tweak: Most programs in Ubuntu 8.10 use GTK 2, yes. | 06:34 |
| Qubits | Ok heres my issue! ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ grub-install --root-directory=/media /dev/sda2 | 06:34 |
| vertana | tweak: We know :p I just got back, what's the problem? | 06:34 |
| Qubits | /dev/sda2 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. | 06:34 |
| powner | is 8.10 "bleeding-edge" or is there a devel repository i can put somewhere? | 06:34 |
| tweak | what is a gtk 2.x theme? | 06:34 |
| gompa | tweak its for gtk apps | 06:35 |
| gnutron | torrancew: use asoundconf in a terminal and set default sound card, should be in your menu also | 06:35 |
| vertana | powner: 8.10 is not 'bleeding edge', but 9.04 is. | 06:35 |
| gompa | like vlc | 06:35 |
| tweak | what's a gtk app? | 06:35 |
| Qubits | Does anyone know another way to get grub installed? What about something even like fdisk -B? I'll take any bootloader | 06:35 |
| gompa | vlc ? | 06:35 |
| powner | thanks vertana | 06:35 |
| Qubits | tweak just about any desktop app | 06:35 |
| torrancew | gnutron - what's the parameter for the card? | 06:35 |
| Qubits | gompa: the videolan media player | 06:35 |
| vertana | tweak: GTK is what QT is to KDE. Just the toolset used to make the apps (Over simplified MUCH). | 06:36 |
| rww | !gtk | tweak | 06:36 |
| ubottu | tweak: GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI | 06:36 |
| Fibonacci | Hello. I have an Epson Stylus C67 which up until now had been working perfectly under Ubuntu. Now I've got no cyan ink, but the darned machine refuses to print even in greyscale. What can I do? | 06:36 |
| gnutron | torrancew: try asoundconf -list | 06:36 |
| vertana | powner: No problem, gksudo "update-manager -d" to get 9.04 (in ubuntu, not kubuntu). | 06:36 |
| infernal_jesus | Fibonacci, I love your work! The sequence, genius! | 06:36 |
| infernal_jesus | Wait a second! The _real_ Fibonacci is dead! | 06:37 |
| infernal_jesus | You're a phony! | 06:37 |
| Fibonacci | infernal_jesus: why no, I'm not, I'm immortal! | 06:37 |
| tweak | on the gnome-look site there's all kinds of links to themes and stuff on the left, but I understand none of it lol | 06:37 |
| bamhm182 | Does anyone know? | 06:37 |
| torrancew | gnutron - done that - the command is "asoundconf set-default-card PARAMETER" | 06:37 |
| torrancew | scanning the man pages to try to find the format of PARAMETER | 06:37 |
| infernal_jesus | Fibonacci, lol. | 06:37 |
| gnutron | torrancew: try system/preferences/set default sound card, its easier | 06:37 |
| Fibonacci | infernal_jesus: I might be immortal, but I can't get a damn printer to work again. | 06:37 |
| vertana | tweak: On the newer distro's you want GTK 2.x themes (not 1.x). | 06:37 |
| Madpilot | tweak, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy will explain much | 06:38 |
| Dezine | What is the best way to move from Ubuntu 32 to 64? Am I stuck reinstalling completely or will it allow me to move things over with an upgrade of sorts? | 06:38 |
| torrancew | gnutron: there is no "set default sound card", but the sound menu only lets me select the software backend (alsa/pulse/oss/etc) | 06:38 |
| bamhm182 | Does anyone here use a bluetooth keyboard? | 06:39 |
| gnutron | torrancew: try asoundconf list drop the hyphen you'll see the devices | 06:39 |
| torrancew | gnutron - returns none | 06:39 |
| binskipy2u | hey guys.. anyone in here using 8.04 INSTEAD of 8.10 ? since its supported a year longer, its not so bleeding edge, and if you do, do you think its more "stable" and "tested" then 8.10 and the latest? | 06:39 |
| tweak | what's a Metacity? | 06:39 |
| torrancew | which is odd. | 06:39 |
| gompa | what does ubuntu 9.04 alpha add ? | 06:39 |
| Qubits | Someone could have told me about super-grub-disk | 06:39 |
| gnutron | torrancew: lspci does it show up | 06:39 |
| torrancew | gnutron: sure does | 06:39 |
| vertana | Dezine: The best thing to do would be complete reinstall (So that all the apps are 64-bit also), but you can also just get the 64-bit kernel. (But the kernel way won't be fastest as the apps are still only 32-bit). | 06:39 |
| inktri | hey guys i've got a Switch and i'd like to set up a small network of computers. the switch doesn't have DHCP. how would i set up the static ip's for the computers? thanks | 06:40 |
| bamhm182 | Alright, I'll just go ask on the forums | 06:40 |
| Madpilot | gompa, the chance to test an alpha release and keep all the bits if/when it breaks? | 06:40 |
| powner | heh i just looked up update-manager -d on google and then read your response XD hate when i do that | 06:40 |
| torrancew | gnutron: it was working after install, but it disappeared after i upgraded video drivers | 06:40 |
| Dezine | Alright, this may seem backwards but could I just install the kernal.. remove all the old programs and then install the 64bit? | 06:40 |
| gnutron | torrancew: asoundconf list shows nothing!? | 06:40 |
| arvind_khadri | binskipy2u, i do, but take this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:40 |
| torrancew | correct | 06:40 |
| Dezine | I ask because I installed with unetbootin and would rather do it that way | 06:40 |
| vertana | inktri: right click on networkmanager and select edit connections and then make a static wired. | 06:40 |
| dayo_ | j ] | 06:41 |
| dayo_ | j | 06:41 |
| Robert_Surcouf | binskipy2u: on desktop I usually go for the latest version | 06:41 |
| torrancew | gnutron: | 06:41 |
| torrancew | "torrancew@tray-desktop:~$ asoundconf list | 06:41 |
| torrancew | Names of available sound cards: | 06:41 |
| torrancew | torrancew@tray-desktop:~$ " | 06:41 |
| gnutron | torrancew: dmesg |less look for it there or reboot | 06:41 |
| FloodBot1 | torrancew: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:41 |
| dayo_ | inktri: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts-p3 | 06:41 |
| gompa | madpilot do you know if they changed the kernal or some ting ? (ps having truble booting 8.10 becouse of ata comresetfaild so i hoped that install might fix it ) | 06:41 |
| powner | does 9.04 really boot in ~20 seconds or do i need to change something or is it environmental | 06:41 |
| torrancew | reboot hasn't solved anything | 06:41 |
| vertana | Dezine: That way is a LOT of unnecessary work. Theoretically it could work, but reinstalling is much easier. | 06:41 |
| shear | ok, very quick question. Does pretty much everything work on amd64 now? I'm talking flash, win32 codecs, etc. I remember the last time I tried it, I had to spend hours trying (and failing) to get some basic stuff to work. | 06:41 |
| Madpilot | gompa, no idea, actually | 06:41 |
| Dezine | lol ok, I'll just switch over and download the 64bit with unetbootin | 06:41 |
| gnutron | torrancew: freaking video drivers!! [expletives galore here] | 06:42 |
| Robert_Surcouf | shear: being on amd64 everything is just fine at least for my usage | 06:42 |
| torrancew | gnutron: indeed | 06:42 |
| Dezine | I don't have a cd drive or usb so it's the only way.. works well anyway | 06:42 |
| arvind_khadri | gompa, the kernel changed from 8.04 to 8.10 | 06:42 |
| vertana | powner: The 9.04 stats about the 20 second bootup you've heard of is due to increased r/w speeds from ext4 (as opposed to ext3 in use now). | 06:42 |
| rww | shear: in my experience, yeah | 06:42 |
| bamhm182 | you guys can see my messages, right? | 06:42 |
| * dayo_ ears are bleeding | 06:42 | |
| Madpilot | gompa, #ubuntu+1 is the channel for the alpha release discussions | 06:42 |
| Fibonacci | Also, ever since the upgrade to Intrepid, escputil segfaults no matter what I'm trying to do with the printer - even reading the ink levels. | 06:42 |
| powner | ahh i see | 06:42 |
| gompa | ah thanks madpilot | 06:42 |
| Dezine | thank for the help | 06:42 |
| Robert_Surcouf | bamhm182: what is your message sorry I joined late | 06:42 |
| powner | im trying to stay away from journaling as i'm using flash | 06:42 |
| powner | still ext2 | 06:42 |
| torrancew | gnutron: i've found that others have had similar problems, but haven't found a solution that works for me. on a side note, 64 bit intrepid is much.... wonkier than 32 | 06:42 |
| shear | ok, thanks, I'll give it a shot here. It *was* admittedly close to 4 years ago that I last tried amd64. I expect things have changed. | 06:43 |
| bamhm182 | alright, cool, I was just wondering if I was actually posting because nobody was acknowledging me | 06:43 |
| vertana | powner: To be honest, if all you're looking for is a way to boot faster, wait until 9.04 is in beta at least so not as much stuff breaks. (or now if you like to submit bug reports and such) | 06:43 |
| Robert_Surcouf | bamhm182: and your question/problem is ? | 06:43 |
| gompa | arvind_khadri if i recall corectly 8.04 wouldt boot either | 06:43 |
| gnutron | torrancew: i wont put 8.10 on my 64 bit box anytime soon it works too good to break. | 06:43 |
| arvind_khadri | gompa, boot where?? on a desktop? | 06:44 |
| maxxist | torrancew loving 64bit here... | 06:44 |
| torrancew | gnutron: what version are you running? | 06:44 |
| vertana | gnutron: I did an update manager upgrade and it worked flawlessly. | 06:44 |
| bamhm182 | Robert_Surcouf: I have a bluetooth keyboard, last time I was on Ubuntu, EVERY time I turned on my computer, I would have to disconnect it and plug it back in, which really isn't that big of a problem, but it is annoying, does anyone know if this has been fixed yet? | 06:44 |
| vertana | gnutron: To 8.10 I should clarify. | 06:44 |
| Guest62899 | trying to mount cd-rom to install ubuntu. Nothing lets it detect my drive. im trying to use the alternate instller | 06:44 |
| gompa | arvind_khadri yeah on a asus m2n e sli with one ide drive and one sata drive to be exact | 06:44 |
| yo_linux | hi, how do I install a minimal but working X server on ubuntu-server 8.1. I have xserver-xorg, but I think I need some sort of display manager? | 06:44 |
| gnutron | torrancew: on this box, 8.10, been dist upgrading it since buntu was invented | 06:44 |
| gompa | and a ide dvd drive | 06:45 |
| powner | naw the boot time was just something i noticed now - i actually want to test for bugs in packages using newer upstream sources | 06:45 |
| arvind_khadri | gompa, oh ... no idea | 06:45 |
| gnutron | vertana: i'll keep that in mind, thanks. | 06:45 |
| torrancew | gnutron: and your 64 bit? | 06:45 |
| gompa | arvind_khadri ahw to baad | 06:45 |
| Robert_Surcouf | bamhm182: I would assume it because Linux send a message to shut it down, a quick but not nice things to do would be to avoid to shutdown the bluetooth in rc.d | 06:45 |
| powner | to see if an upstream fix has made it down already | 06:45 |
| vertana | powner: Well, I'm not sure if Alpha2 is out yet, but that's the one with ext4 included in it. | 06:45 |
| Threetimes | Qubits: GetDataBack is a windows app? | 06:46 |
| tweak | hey when I try to install a gtk theme it says that it will not look proper because the theme "Default" is not installed | 06:46 |
| torrancew | what's even stranger is that all the sound modules for the kernel are loaded, and i believe they are the correct modules | 06:46 |
| gnutron | torrancew: the 64 bit is still 8.04 hardy and java/flash ff-64 work great with sound, dvd et al | 06:46 |
| vertana | torrancew: I'm on 8.10 (distro upgraded from 8.04) and I'm on 64 bit and all my applications work flawlessly, but as always YMMV depending on all the extra programs you have installed. | 06:46 |
| bamhm182 | what would that do? | 06:46 |
| bamhm182 | just have my keyboard on 24/7? | 06:46 |
| maxxist | torrancew you are having issues with 64bit 8.10? | 06:46 |
| torrancew | maxxist: mainly this sound problem, other than that i've overcome everything else | 06:47 |
| torrancew | i've just noticed that it requires many restarts to get installs to "take", if you will | 06:47 |
| maxxist | torrancew what is the sound problem? what sound chipset are you using? | 06:47 |
| gompa | vertana powner apha 2 is out | 06:47 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: you tried to fixed it with alsamixer ? | 06:47 |
| vertana | gompa: Thank you, very much. There ya go powner. Ext4 at your fingertips ^^ | 06:47 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: there is no device to configure anymore | 06:48 |
| powner | tx guys =) | 06:48 |
| powner | or girls | 06:48 |
| vertana | torrancew: I had to restart twice. Once after upgrade. Once after Nvidia drivers. That was it ^^ | 06:48 |
| torrancew | maxxist: Realtek integrated - it was working fine until i upgraded video drivers | 06:48 |
| torrancew | vertana: that makes me sad. | 06:48 |
| jedi06 | gnutron i installed dropbear still can't get it | 06:48 |
| maxxist | torrancew using pulseaudio or alsa? | 06:49 |
| torrancew | dropbox wouldn't initialize without one, and i believe that on my 32 bit machine it picked up fine | 06:49 |
| vertana | torrancew: If you don't use proprietary drivers then it's only one restart, due to kernel upgrade. | 06:49 |
| torrancew | maxxist: tried both | 06:49 |
| torrancew | vertana: yeah, the nvidia proprietary driver is (i believe) what broke my sound | 06:49 |
| Qubits | There is informations about how to restore grub from a livecd here : | 06:49 |
| Qubits | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 | 06:49 |
| Qubits | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 06:49 |
| Qubits | I also found something showing how to install grub frmo the grub command line | 06:49 |
| vertana | torrancew: There is no way a video driver broke your sound. What makes you think that? | 06:49 |
| gnutron | jedi06: dropbear? you need sshd running on ubuntu and puTTy on windows. dropbear im not familiar with. | 06:50 |
| maxxist | torrancew you did just a video driver upgrade and it went away? | 06:50 |
| Qubits | root (hd0,1) | 06:50 |
| === binarymutt_ is now known as binarymutt | ||
| torrancew | maxxist: yes | 06:50 |
| Qubits | setup (hd0) | 06:50 |
| Qubits | That did it I think FYI | 06:50 |
| jedi06 | dropbear is a lightweight SSH2 server | 06:50 |
| Qubits | Please try to actually help people with grub problems now | 06:50 |
| vertana | torrancew: Interesting... And it stayed that way even after x/computer restarted? | 06:50 |
| torrancew | the volume control, when clicked, gives this error: "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." | 06:50 |
| rdw200169 | gnutron: wow, last time i saw dropbear was on openwert | 06:50 |
| torrancew | indeed | 06:50 |
| jedi06 | how do i install sshd then gnutron? | 06:50 |
| torrancew | it worked until the restart | 06:50 |
| rdw200169 | gnutron: openwrt | 06:50 |
| torrancew | but all the modules are loaded | 06:50 |
| gnutron | jedi06: on the ubuntu box? is it running? | 06:50 |
| vertana | jedi06: sudo aptitude install opensshd (I believe) | 06:51 |
| torrancew | it just doesn't see my card anymore. in certain places | 06:51 |
| maxxist | torrancew can you open sound in preferences? | 06:51 |
| jedi06 | yes on ubuntu | 06:51 |
| vertana | torrancew: Make sure all those sound tests work. | 06:51 |
| torrancew | they freeze the machine | 06:51 |
| torrancew | (vertana) | 06:51 |
| gnutron | jedi06: openssh-server is the package im pretty sure but we can try dropbear if your ready | 06:51 |
| torrancew | maxxist: yes | 06:51 |
| jedi06 | ok i have both now | 06:52 |
| maxxist | torrancew is there any sound chips listed in there? | 06:52 |
| gnutron | jedi06: how many files do you wanna transfer to the buntu box | 06:52 |
| vertana | torrancew: Do they freeze up even when you select other options? Try pulseaudio or alsa (two most likely to work). | 06:52 |
| jedi06 | actually i want to save some to windows | 06:52 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: aplay -ILv will give you the configuration you could post also you can dmesg | grep -i alsa and dmesg | grep -i snd | 06:53 |
| torrancew | vertana: tried alsa, switched to pulseaudio, but didn't run the tests. still nothing though | 06:53 |
| gnutron | jedi06: open a dos box | 06:53 |
| jedi06 | ok | 06:53 |
| torrancew | maxxist: no | 06:53 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: aplay returns absolutely nothing | 06:53 |
| gnutron | jedi06: type pscp does it show help info? | 06:53 |
| torrancew | nor does dmesg | grep -i alsa | 06:54 |
| jedi06 | nope i have putty and winscp | 06:54 |
| maxxist | torrancew what are the chances you want to do a reinstall? unless someone knows how to do an audio hardware reconfigure..... | 06:54 |
| Guest62899 | ubuntu really doesnt want to install on my computer. Does anyone know of any other linux variations that support dual monitors? | 06:54 |
| torrancew | maxxist: i'm not keen on it, esp. given i'm 99% certain that when i re-upgrade my video drivers, this will happen all over again | 06:54 |
| maxxist | torrancew i dont see how a video driver would do this... | 06:54 |
| gnutron | jedi06: the putty package should include pscp.exe, you can grab it in seconds, want the url? | 06:55 |
| mrpockets | is there no way to send CTRL+ALT+DEL in VNC through terminal server ? | 06:55 |
| torrancew | maxxist: it doesn't make sense to me either, but i've found that others have had the same problem, just haven't found a solution that works fo rme | 06:55 |
| jedi06 | ok gnutron sure | 06:55 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: you don't see it in the lscpi as well ? | 06:55 |
| torrancew | maxxist: also, given that this is my first go-round with a 64 bit, i was very careful, and restarted after nearly every upgrade | 06:56 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: lspci | 06:56 |
| jedi06 | gnutron but i already have putty.exe | 06:56 |
| gnutron | jedi06: sec | 06:56 |
| maxxist | torrancew i would honestly think a reinstall would be a great idea. if you can reproduce the issue I would say it would be a bug to be submitted. | 06:56 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: lspci | grep -i snd returns nothing | 06:56 |
| gnutron | jedi06: that just opens a session | 06:56 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: you have a nvidia as sound and graphic card ? | 06:56 |
| torrancew | maxxist: if it is the driver, it's a bug for nvidia | 06:56 |
| jedi06 | well i got winscp probably the same thing | 06:56 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: nVidia nForce chipset on mobo (integrated sound), and nVidia geForce 8 card | 06:57 |
| maxxist | torrancew reboot after every upgrade is excessive. you should really only need to when a kernel gets upgraded. but i just installed 64 bit. and did an nvidia driver install 180. no probs here | 06:57 |
| gnutron | jedi06: download pscp.exe and put it in your path \windows will do. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html | 06:57 |
| torrancew | maxxist: where can i get 180? the distro only recognized up to 173 | 06:58 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: I do too on a hpslim box what is the version of your graphic driver ? | 06:58 |
| Narcisha | How can I check which graphics drivers I'm using? I *think* I managed to roll back the updates, just need to be sure | 06:58 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: dmesg | grep NVRM | 06:58 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: if i do a straight lspci, i can dig through and find it | 06:58 |
| opera | !ssid | 06:58 |

| maxxist | torrancew and my system is integrated audio also. my nvidia card is a 9600gt. I found 180 in synaptic... | 06:58 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: nVidia proprietary 173 | 06:59 |
| gnutron | Narcisha: lsmod in a terminal | 06:59 |
| jedi06 | ok done gnutron | 06:59 |
| Itacious | Can someone please direct me in how to set up internet connection sharing in (x)ubuntu using Firestarter? I want to have a computer (namely and Xbox 360) connect through eth0 (ethernet) to the internet via eth1 (wifi). Any ideas? Thanks. | 06:59 |
| maxxist | torrancew do a search for nvidia in synaptic. there should be an 180 driver in there... | 07:00 |
| Itacious | *name an | 07:00 |
| Itacious | **namely an Xbox 360 | 07:00 |
| Melik | how can i see hidden folders in bash? | 07:00 |

| gnutron | jedi06: so what dir or file do you want from the ubnutu box, it needs to be in the user /home/user/ dir | 07:00 |
| Itacious | thanks | 07:00 |
| torrancew | will look into it | 07:00 |
| jedi06 | say foo.txt gnutron for now | 07:01 |

| Brack10 | anyone know if it's possible to stream pandora, last.fm, xm radio or any similar service with mplayer? | 07:01 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: mine is a MCP73 | 07:01 |
| gnutron | jedi06: pscp wont copy to your personal dir | 07:01 |
| Dr_willis | Brack10, you want to stream a stream? | 07:01 |
| torrancew | Brack10: pandora and last.fm both use proprietary flash streams, i believe | 07:01 |

| Firefishe | I'm using ubuntu 8.10 on an Asus G50v-X1 laptop. Have a dvd burner that I can't access. When I put a dvd movie in the drive, it initially will show it as being mounted and available. After a while, though--usually after the first attempt at accessing it through whatever file manager I'm using (doesn't matter which), the drive locks up and the system stops recognizing it. | 07:02 |
| jedi06 | ok gnutron | 07:02 |
| MHz128 | Hello! Is there a modifiable setting that defines the mouse over gnome-panel-menu delay? | 07:02 |
| maxxist | torrancew I would say try the 180 nvidia driver. if that doesnt work. a reinstall would be best. if you can reproduce the problem it would be a good bug report to submit. | 07:02 |
| torrancew | maxxist: which package(s) should i use? | 07:02 |
| gnutron | jedi06: then pscp ubuntu@ubuntu:foo.txt . smash enter [dont forget the dot or colon | 07:03 |
| maxxist | torrancew sec | 07:03 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: seems that there is a workaround for your problem | 07:03 |
| jedi06 | do i need to start the ssh deamon on ubuntu? | 07:03 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: what would that be? | 07:04 |
| gnutron | jedi06: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start | 07:04 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: adding a line in /etc/modprobe.d/asla-base adding options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 | 07:04 |
| maxxist | torrancew nvidia-glx-180 should be the one. | 07:04 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: did you tried it ? | 07:04 |
| torrancew | maxxist thanks | 07:04 |
| maxxist | torrancew nvidia-glx-180 should be the one. should autoremove the old one. | 07:04 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: not yet | 07:04 |
| maxxist | torrancew you may have to restart after that one though. | 07:05 |
| gnutron | jedi06: then pscp ubuntu@192.168.1.x:foo.txt . smash enter use the ip address unless you hosts file has ubuntu in it | 07:05 |
| torrancew | maxxist: i'm sure i will | 07:05 |
| maxxist | torrancew come back and let us know | 07:05 |
| gnutron | jedi06: where 'x' is the last address bit | 07:05 |
| jedi06 | we are not on the same subnet | 07:06 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: also you could check you /var/log/messages to see if you can find something complaining about the ALSA | 07:06 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: does it matter where i add it? | 07:06 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: no | 07:06 |

| Some_ux | Hi, is there a way to update/upgrade only a single (as in only that specific) package using apt-get ? | 07:08 |
| gnutron | jedi06: i dont think it'll work without routing/port forwardinh | 07:08 |
| SingAlong | oh sorry! seems like my question is meant for #ubuntu-dev | 07:08 |
| gnutron | torrancew: yes you can modprobe module good to go | 07:09 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: /etc/rc.d/init/alsa start | 07:09 |
| jedi06 | i can get on the same subnet but for some reason i can't get outside the subnet so i couldn't install all that crap i need | 07:09 |

| eeble | Hi, I just updated my girlfriends laptop to ubuntu and tried to copy over her firefox bookmarks.html file, but firefox under ubuntu isn't loading the bookmarks.html file. what gives? am I doing something wrong? | 07:09 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: modprobe -r snd-something I'm not sure | 07:09 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: command not found | 07:10 |
| jedi06 | the ssh-server | 07:10 |
| Some_ux | It seems that-> apt-get update && apt-get upgrade , is a potentially fatal thing to do, as it upgrade way more than one bargains for | 07:10 |
| gnutron | jedi06: can you temporarily open port 22 to the net and use the internet address? | 07:10 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: /etc/init.d | 07:10 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: already tried that one too | 07:11 |
| jedi06 | how do i do that | 07:11 |
| vertana | Some_ux: You can upgrade pakcages selectively through Synaptic. | 07:11 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: we may have something here | 07:11 |
| SingAlong | I'm trying to compile a lib gives me Xrender.h errors. Says Xrender.h isnt found. But I verified the location I specified and the file is present. Has anyone got such errors? | 07:11 |

| bashca | hi there all | 07:11 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base ? | 07:12 |
| gnutron | jedi06: you would need to access the router | 07:12 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: found it at /etc/init.d/alsa-utils, and the work-around worked | 07:12 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: I don't know | 07:12 |
| torrancew | thanks a million | 07:12 |
| gompa | some_ux hoe did you install ? | 07:12 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: cool | 07:12 |
| vertana | Some_ux: Ok, use apt-get. If I remember right it will say some recommendations but you can ignore those (I may be confusing this with aptitude). | 07:12 |
| jedi06 | you mean port forward 22 to ubuntu | 07:12 |
| torrancew | maxxist: thanks also for your help | 07:12 |
| Some_ux | gompa: via the CD | 07:12 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: I don't know if when you reboot how it's gonna hold up | 07:13 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: so you have sound now ? | 07:13 |
| gompa | live disk | 07:13 |
| gompa | or install disk ? | 07:13 |
| maxxist | torrancew I think Robert helped more | 07:13 |
| Some_ux | yes | 07:13 |
| jedi06 | and then use my router ip address? | 07:13 |
| Some_ux | wait | 07:13 |
| Some_ux | I think the install CD | 07:13 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: i do, when you found it, did you find anything about what caused it? | 07:13 |
| gnutron | jedi06: well, if ubuntu listens on port 22 to the world, then use its i-net address | 07:13 |
| torrancew | maxxist: all the same, you dedicated time to helping me | 07:13 |
| vertana | Some_ux: sudo dpkg --install --force-all <packagename> << I found this on the forums. | 07:13 |
| zmanning_ | can someone point me towards the mono .net package? | 07:13 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: but I would agree with maxxist 180 are stable enough (ok ok I run 172 but still) | 07:13 |
| gompa | did you select the could tou try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 07:14 |
| gompa | eeh | 07:14 |
| gnutron | jedi06: but yeah you'd need to forwrd the traffic on 22 to that box | 07:14 |
| gnutron | jedi06: i thought you were on the same subnet | 07:14 |
| jedi06 | the problem is that its not on the same subet as the router | 07:14 |
| jedi06 | its using nat | 07:14 |
| gompa | did you sellect the ubutu desktop pakage ? if not you can install it by doing sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 07:14 |
| Ace2016_- | Hi all | 07:15 |
| torrancew | while i'm here, i may as well ask if everyone finds linux flash drivers are nearly incapable of displaying fullscreen videos that are watchable? | 07:15 |
| Some_ux | vertana : where do i get the debian installation file from ? | 07:15 |
| Ace2016_- | anyone know a gimp alternative, can't force it to behave like i want | 07:15 |
| mrpockets | Ace2016_-, Photoshop | 07:15 |
| torrancew | i've only used ubuntu for the past year or so, and i know it's not their fault - it's adobe's, but has anyone found a way to fix that? | 07:15 |
| mrpockets | umm | 07:16 |
| mrpockets | fix | 07:16 |
| mrpockets | what? | 07:16 |
| SingAlong | I'm trying to compile a lib and it gives me Xrender.h errors. Says Xrender.h isnt found. But I verified the location I specified and the file is present. Has anyone got such errors? | 07:16 |
| vertana | Some_ux: repository. To find package name you can do aptitude search "keyword in package", but aptitude only searches package names, NOT description. | 07:16 |
| Ace2016_- | mrpockets: one that runs on linux if possible without using wine or a vm | 07:16 |
| gnutron | jedi06: are you connected to the same router? | 07:16 |
| mrpockets | 'heh Ace2016_- nah i don't | 07:16 |
| Some_ux | Surely there must be a way to download the latest update of a single package using the commandline ? | 07:17 |
| jedi06 | yes they are on the same machine | 07:17 |
| jedi06 | but the vbox network is private and is invisible to the host | 07:17 |
| gnutron | jedi06: can you ping the remote box | 07:17 |
| vertana | Some_ux: I just told you how. dpkg force install. You just need to know the package name. dpkg and aptitude are command line programs. | 07:17 |
| Robert_Surcouf | torrancew: flash is proprietary it is bad but widely used until now, so you are at the mercy of their willing | 07:17 |
| vertana | Robert_Surcouf: Until now? | 07:18 |
| Some_ux | vertana: afaik dpkg requires a .deb file ? | 07:18 |
| Robert_Surcouf | vertana: things to come and go isn't it ? | 07:18 |
| Robert_Surcouf | vertana: things tend to come and go isn't it ? | 07:18 |
| torrancew | Robert_Surcouf: yeah, i knew about the whole proprietary business, just wondering if everyone has the same crappy framerates as me - i don't know any other linux users irl | 07:18 |
| vertana | Robert_Surcouf: Yes, but flash is by no means gone right now. Maybe in a few years or so, but not right now. | 07:18 |

| torrancew | everything is watchable until fullscreen | 07:19 |
| zmanning_ | anyone know how to fix this: install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables | 07:19 |
| gnutron | jedi06: then without fancy routing youre d00med | 07:19 |
| jedi06 | they don't use the same router ubuntu uses the vbox router | 07:19 |
| torrancew | at that point it lags firefox and just generally performs terribly | 07:20 |
| jedi06 | i can port forward vbox to make services available in the private netword | 07:20 |
| jedi06 | let me try that | 07:20 |
| tweak | the window manager theme 'default' is not installed. does this mean anything to anyone? | 07:20 |
| Some_ux | Vertana: I have not yet installed this package, but i did notice that the Update page contains a newer version of the package. I am afraid that if i use: sudo apt-get, I will get the old dated package | 07:20 |
| Robert_Surcouf | vertana: it will die... it will die (maybe Adobe will close before it dies :-) ) | 07:20 |
| gnutron | jedi06: if you can, it may work | 07:21 |
| Bikeguy | i'm having a lot of problems with sound, for amarok i get the message that xine was unable to initialize audio drivers. Could it be a pulseaudio issue? | 07:21 |
| vertana | Robert_Surcouf: I believe it will die (As there is now silverlight, javascript is increasing speed, etc.), but the time is not here yet sir... but yes, one day... | 07:21 |
| gompa | hmpf my only bet is booting ubuntu on vmware :/ | 07:22 |
| torrancew | well, thanks all, and goodnight | 07:22 |
| vertana | Some_ux: When it says newer packages it is according to the database, so unless you installed via source code compiling it is guaranteed to be newer. | 07:22 |
| Some_ux | vertana: It does not say that there is a newer version, It is implied, since the packages is listed in the Hardy-update section | 07:23 |
| Robert_Surcouf | vertana: this kind of proprietary will die and maybe sooner that one would believe, imagine that somebody would have said you know what HTML is a proprietary language you can use it only with mosaic, you might laugh now but at the end of the 80's a university copyrighted Gopher a widely used means to search the information do you use often gopher ? | 07:23 |
| maxxist | Robert_Surcouf I was just gonna ask him if he was using the 64 bit flash 10. its pretty much flawless on my system. | 07:23 |
| vertana | Some_ux: Not necessarily, it may just be a bump in the version but not in the source code. | 07:23 |
| Robert_Surcouf | maxxist: can you use a 32bits flash ? on 64 ? | 07:24 |
| Some_ux | vertana: it is listed as a critical security flaw update | 07:24 |
| vertana | Some_ux: I advise you install security updates, but that's just me... | 07:24 |
| maxxist | Robert_Surcouf yeah you can use the nspluginwrapper thingy... it installs when you install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 07:24 |
| Robert_Surcouf | maxxist: ouch I see well I use the proprietary one and I agree with you it works well | 07:25 |
| maxxist | Robert_Surcouf but i find the new adobe 64 bit flash is just fine. | 07:25 |
| vertana | Robert_Surcouf: While yes, it is propietary; the fact of the matter is, it's used widely and available on all OS's. For the general public to move away, it would require a utility just as easy to use and fast. The general public doesn't care if it's open or closed. | 07:25 |
| vertana | Robert_Surcouf: Think about Windows... it has to "just work"(TM). :p | 07:26 |
| Robert_Surcouf | vertana: because it is closed it will die, I know seems hard to believe but it will, if somebody would have said in 1989 gopher will die in 10 years everybody would have laugh at it | 07:26 |
| === newmember_ is now known as newmember | ||
| maxxist | Robert_Surcouf usually i love the ubuntu-restricted-extras meta package. but I am finding it needs some love on 64 bit now. It also installs 32 bit libraries so you can run 32 bit apps on 64bit kernel. it works well. but i didnt want that. but i did want all the codecs and such, so i had to do manual install on those. | 07:27 |
| kingsley | What's your favorite audio player? | 07:27 |
| maxxist | kingsley Audacious | 07:27 |
| Robert_Surcouf | maxxist: yes you might loose some performance using 32 bits code, I haven't looked in details but the 64 applications seems to me a little bit faster | 07:28 |
| vertana | Robert_Surcouf: That's true of anything. Evolve as the times and people evolve or die. So either, Flash will have to be open source (eventually) or Linux support will have to evolve greatly. Or something open source and multiplatform will outseat it as a de facto 'net video player. | 07:28 |
| maxxist | Robert_Surcouf Handbrake on 64bit linux is waaaay faster at transcoding dvds | 07:28 |
| vertana | kingsley: Rhythmbox or Amarok. Depends on your needs/wants and cpu. | 07:29 |
| Robert_Surcouf | kingsley: try songbird you might like it | 07:29 |
| tux9778 | is there a 64bit ver. of skype? | 07:29 |
| kingsley | maxxist, vertana, Robert_Surcouf; Do they support jack? | 07:29 |
| Some_ux | what is the purpose of http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates ? is it a new distribution ? or is it enough to apt-get install - to use these updates ? | 07:30 |
| maxxist | kingsley i think audacious is pulseaudio only | 07:30 |
| vertana | kingsley: Songbird is also a good one, although early to say if it meets all your needs. And I believe Amarok does, not sure about rhythmbox. | 07:30 |
| maxxist | Some_ux hardy is older. | 07:30 |
| Some_ux | maxxist: afaik Hardy is still a tad bit more stable than intrepid | 07:32 |
| kingsley | vertana: Which engine do you use in amarok? | 07:32 |
| gnutron | maxxist: no its not pulse only | 07:32 |
| maxxist | Some_ux yes. | 07:32 |
| maxxist | gnutron really? | 07:32 |
| vertana | kingsley: I haven't used it in a long time, but I used the xine engine it came with and for audio output Alsa, suited me just fine. | 07:33 |
| jedi06 | gnutron forget i'll just email them to myself it is possible to port forward but docs aren't that good | 07:33 |
| kingsley | vertana: FWIW, mine warns me that xine-engine doesn't support mp3, which is what I need. | 07:34 |
| gnutron | maxxist: i have pulseaudio uninstalled and use vlc, amarok, audacious everything all works, two sources at once using esound and alsa on intrepid | 07:34 |
| maxxist | gnutron good to know. I had pulse installed on my hardy install. and when I tried to install audacious it wanted to install pulse again... so i just assumed. | 07:35 |
| gnutron | jedi06: yeah, tarball them and mail. separate subnets complicate things | 07:35 |
| Some_ux | The thing is, I labored very hard to config Hardy, and i am now mortified by the prospect of a command which will update/upgrade indiscriminately. I only want very specific updates. | 07:35 |
| maxxist | gnutron i meant pulse was uninstalled. | 07:35 |
| gnutron | maxxist: intrepid whacked my sound totally, thats how i fixed it. | 07:35 |
| vertana | kingsley: You'll need to install restricted codecs. That's all. I think the package is xine-extras or alternatively ubuntu-restricted-extras will download all restricted stuff you'll most likely need. | 07:36 |
| maxxist | gnutron pulse buggared my hardy and wine install. when i removed it everything was glorious. | 07:36 |
| gnutron | maxxist: pulse needs a defibrillater | 07:37 |
| gnutron | maxxist: joke | 07:37 |
| maxxist | gnutron lol. seems to be working for me right now. hehe. | 07:37 |
| vertana | kingsley: libxine1-ffmpeg I think is your package. (Just looked at a list real quick.) | 07:37 |
| gnutron | maxxist: i'll try it again when they fix something or other | 07:38 |

| Bikeguy | vertana: i have an onboard sound card that came on my evga 780i board, intel | 07:41 |
| vertana | Bikeguy: It's intel and still not working? Hm... google your soundcard and make sure it's not a general linux or hardware problem (Should always be the first thing you try) | 07:42 |
| Bikeguy | vertana: sounds good, i'm new to linux, still trying to figure out the ropes | 07:42 |

| vertana | Bikeguy: I understand. Ubuntu community is really good for support. After google try ubuntuforums.com and always search forums before possibly making a duplicate thread. But if you ask in here or on forums people will really try to help you. | 07:43 |
| Boohbah | rohil: you could mount your ntfs partition in linux | 07:43 |
| rohil | B.oohbah, I did that but there is a wamp folder in windows and a xampp one in Linux. Both need their folder (namely www and htdocs) where the files are put. I want same files in both these installations. So, incase if I ever have to access them from Windows, I can do so | 07:45 |
| Bikeguy | vertana: so, nothing came up as far as my board goes, there aren't any sound issues reported. sound has been working, but there have been a few odd things going on, for one mplayer takes a really long time to boot up | 07:45 |

| vertana | If anybody knows more about ALSA and soundsystems could you please help bikeguy? I don't know too much about those. | 07:48 |
| YankDownUnder | huma, ntfs-3g is a read/write driver | 07:49 |

| rockyrock | guys, how to see what ports are open in a wireless network?? Torrent isn't avaialbe in my university, all ports are closed. How can i see what ports are open so i can use them?Is there any tool in Ubuntu to do that? | 07:49 |
| Bikeguy | vertana: thanks, i appreciate it. I have a good buddy who had some suspicions that pulseaudio might be causing some issues | 07:49 |
| Some_ux | Ok, so apparently synaptic can install/upgrade a single package. and since synaptic is only a gui interface for apt-get, I suppose there is a way to upgrade only a single package. The problem is how ? | 07:50 |
| vertana | Bikeguy: That did it to me on this at first. I had to switch from OSS to ALSA so it could be piped through Pulseaudio... but Linux sound systems are my Achilles's Heel.. never could get them. Sorry, I couldn't be of much help. | 07:50 |

| maxxist | rockyrock network tools under admin would be a good place to start... | 07:50 |
| Bikeguy | vertana: no, you've been of help, at least we might be narrowing down the problem | 07:51 |
| Mckitrick | Anyone have any idea why my drive is mounting read only? I've rebooted and it's done an fsck but it's still coming up read only. | 07:51 |
| Melik | what is a good lightweight window manager that you guys would recommend?? | 07:51 |
| vertana | Bikeguy: If I can think of anything I'll let you know ^^ | 07:51 |
| Melik | i'm getting sick of gnome's bloatware. | 07:51 |
| Bikeguy | vertana: k thanks | 07:51 |
| maxxist | Melik Fluxbox | 07:51 |
| rockyrock | maxxist: can you please tell me what should i put in the "Network address" field in the Port Scan tap in Network tools? | 07:52 |
| YankDownUnder | Mckitrick, Have you tried to modify the /etc/fstab in relation to the drive? | 07:53 |
| Bikeguy | vertana: i'm going to try and do a full restart, see if that does the trick | 07:53 |
| maxxist | rockyrock i have no idea man. I just knew network tools has a port scanner and such... | 07:53 |

| maxxist | Robert_Surcouf wouldnt he need to port scan his own ip from outside the universtiy network? | 07:54 |
| Threetimes | It was a fat32 drive | 07:55 |
| Robert_Surcouf | maxxist: yeah, without asking the administrator, and even they will not open a port just like that but yes and nmap on the ip of the university would have been a good start but without propr authorization ... | 07:55 |
| Bikeguy | vertana: yeah....sound works now....this is so odd | 07:55 |
| Threetimes | FloodBot1: sorry (why do I talk to a bot) | 07:56 |
| Some_ux | Hmm, If i understand apt-get correctly, To get a package which has updates all you need to do is> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install <package-name> ? | 07:56 |
| vertana | Bikeguy: Could be any number of things if a restart fixed it. Coulda been a program that didn't agree with your audio.. lotsa stuff : / | 07:56 |
| * Panarchy says Hi | 07:57 | |
| * YankDownUnder thinks that talking to bots is good for one's mental instability | 07:57 | |

| ubottu | quiksilver: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

| YankDownUnder | Oh joy. | 08:04 |
| quiksilver | the methods of installing | 08:04 |
| Dr_willis | vertana, dont like the little ubuntu circle of friends? | 08:04 |
| quiksilver | if i use apt-get | 08:04 |
| Threetimes | tux9778: what are all the options in the box? | 08:04 |
| quiksilver | or use synaptic | 08:04 |
| tweak | no it's me lmao | 08:04 |
| quiksilver | apt-get accesses from synaptic right? | 08:05 |
| rww | baizhiwei: #ubuntu is English language only. If you'd like help or discussion in another language, let us know which one and we can point you towards another channel :) | 08:05 |
| Flannel | quiksilver: Oh, they're all front ends to the same thing. So use whichever is most comfortable for you. | 08:05 |
| Dr_willis | quiksilver apt-get and synaptic do the same thing.. they just are different front ends | 08:05 |
| vertana | Dr_willis: Actually, we love it. There was another theme but it changed that icon from Ubuntu to a Play Button :p | 08:05 |
| Fuzzy | anyone wil answer my question??? | 08:05 |
| Flannel | quiksilver: You can switch at will, etc. | 08:05 |

| tux9778 | pulse for all of em threetimes? | 08:06 |
| Threetimes | yep | 08:06 |
| gnutron | Fuzzy: beryl is no more, its compiz | 08:06 |
| Fuzzy | gnutron, how to install it | 08:06 |
| tux9778 | ok threetimes it works but i have a mic on the monitor not working | 08:07 |
| maxxist | gnutron what do you think of emerald these days? is it stable? | 08:07 |
| gnutron | Fuzzy: open synaptic and click search, type compiz, also install what it suggests. | 08:07 |
| Threetimes | tux9778: Difficult, my mic also doesn't work properly. It does work, but it is not amplified. | 08:08 |
| Fuzzy | gnutron, ty | 08:08 |
| tux9778 | ok threetimes is urs on the monitor also? | 08:08 |
| gnutron | Threetimes: in sound preferences in the tabs you'll see mic boost +20db or so. check it | 08:09 |
| Threetimes | Nope, but if it is just a anolog mic, shape doesn't matter. It's about the drivers, alsa or pulseaudio, | 08:09 |
| quiksilver | i must say, after only a few hours of trying ubunty | 08:09 |
| quiksilver | this os is the best ive ever seen | 08:09 |

| tux9778 | anything i can try threetimes | 08:10 |
| vertana | quiksilver: I believe you'll fit in here... =p | 08:10 |
| Threetimes | gnutron: is checked, when I speak into it, it works. But when recording it isn't amplified. | 08:10 |
| gnutron | maxxist: i dont use compiz but its installed, i think its coupled w/emerald but i'm noy up on yhat. | 08:10 |
| Threetimes | tux9778: i don't know | 08:10 |
| ice_cream | humpty ubunty sat on a wall =D | 08:10 |
| vertana | Threetimes: Under volume control, right click and select preferences and see if you have a digital gain or mic boost option and check it (then enable it) | 08:10 |
| gnutron | Threetimes: i cant explain that but its a common issue with others also. | 08:10 |
| Panarchy | does the floodbot block you for writing three lines in quick succession? | 08:11 |
| Robert_Surcouf | quiksilver: wait to test all the 26000 programs freely available ... | 08:11 |
| maxxist | gnutron i think its just different window frames and such. but i know it was kinda buggy before. but that was a couple years ago. | 08:11 |

| Panarchy | I have been creating and recreating my linux distrbituion for quite some time now ,(well not compared to other distro's... maybe been working on it for 1-2 months), and I am about to recreate it from scratch (clean Ubuntu installation) for the 7th or 8th time. | 08:12 |
| Panarchy | To make this as minimal as possible, I would like to remove everything from it, except for the following: GNOME, Ubuntu icons for GNOME, DPKG, Apt-Get (think the real name is Aptitude?), Network Capabilites (for access to internet), Generic Drivers, manpages (unless this can installed via apt-get), GNOME Terminal Emulator | 08:12 |

| gnutron | maxxist: they seem to improve bells and whistles while everything else like sound gets whacked.. | 08:12 |
| Panarchy | PS:I Have been recommended debootstrap in the past. Do you think it's a good idea? If so, how do I use it? | 08:12 |
| gnutron | Threetimes: because i'm not well informed on the subject. | 08:13 |
| Threetimes | gnutron: ah... | 08:13 |
| Threetimes | anybody: who is?! | 08:13 |
| Panarchy | Been having connection issues, can someone say they hear me? | 08:13 |
| maxxist | gnutron I think ubuntu needs to add a package with a bunch of community maintained sound themes in it. like they did with the gnome themes. Dust is beautiful. | 08:14 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: Why are you trying to make it minimal? | 08:14 |
| Panarchy | Flannel: So that I can add on to it with only what I need | 08:14 |

| === C4N-S|SEAL45 is now known as Vipsta | ||
| Panarchy | proprietry probably better | 08:15 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: You may be more interested in modifying an alternate CD, it's the easiest method of doing that sort of thing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization | 08:15 |
| Panarchy | Flannel: I've tried that, and minimal CD, and server CD | 08:15 |
| Panarchy | oh, and alternate CD | 08:15 |
| Robert_Surcouf | Flynsarmy: the version available on synaptic are usually good | 08:15 |
| gnutron | maxxist: you have a good idea there. sound themes would be nice. | 08:15 |
| jinja-sheep | maxxist: If you love Dust, you can install it... community-themes, i believe. | 08:15 |
| Panarchy | But still, am running into this problem... that no matter what I do, it still wants so much more!!! | 08:16 |
| Panarchy | It's like my first gf, she just keeps wanting more | 08:16 |
| Panarchy | !!! | 08:16 |
| maxxist | jinja-sheep it is.. and i am using it. but thanx. ;D | 08:16 |
| Flynsarmy | Robert_Surcouf, if the proprietry one is working fine for me, would it be worth upgrading to an open source one? I wouldn't mind being able to play videos on my laptop without 100% cpu | 08:16 |
| gnutron | maxxist: i would gladly settle for stable sound period. | 08:16 |
| jinja-sheep | maxxist: There is a reason. That theme isn't a property of Ubuntu nor is it a reflection of Ubunut. It's just a theme. You know? | 08:16 |

| codename | I wanna make sure my 9800 is being seen | 08:18 |
| maxxist | codename nvidia-settings | 08:18 |

| codename | So is it seen? | 08:19 |
| Dr_willis | well its seen.. if its using the nvidia drivers is the big question codename | 08:19 |
| maxxist | if nvidia-settings opens. then chances are the driver is working fine. | 08:19 |

| Robert_Surcouf | codename: the 180 are available on synaptic | 08:20 |
| codename | Really? | 08:21 |
| quiksilver | Flannel: so its the interface that makes using the desktop possible, and functional | 08:21 |
| maxxist | codename I have noticed a performance increase by installing the newer 180 drivers. some say stability is less though. they are in synaptic. install nvidia-glx-180 | 08:21 |

| Robert_Surcouf | codename: don't ask me what it brings | 08:21 |

| codename | lol | 08:21 |
| Robert_Surcouf | codename: the last on from nvidia is the the 180.22 | 08:21 |
| codename | oh i see | 08:21 |
| Flannel | quiksilver: Not exactly, but it does everything that's *useful* for your GUI yeah. | 08:21 |

| maxxist | scale? must check it | 08:34 |
| abchirk | hm is there an app which can record from mic to a video? | 08:35 |
| roccity_ | abchirk: doesn't cheese fo that | 08:35 |
| roccity_ | do | 08:35 |
| abchirk | roccity_ I mean, watching the video and record the sound live | 08:35 |
| maxxist | koshari ahh its like expose | 08:36 |
| |ntegra| | how can I reset my sound? | 08:36 |
| roccity_ | abchirk: like ripping it live | 08:36 |
| koshari | maxxist yes, axcept all the apps scale to comparitable sizes | 08:36 |
| abchirk | roccity_ hm yes... so to speak to the video or else :) | 08:36 |
| maxxist | koshari agreed scale is sweet too | 08:36 |
| |ntegra| | oh, I'm on gutsy so no pulse audio or whatever | 08:36 |
| roccity_ | abchirk: do you want to rip from a web browser or from a video on your hard drive | 08:37 |
| koshari | maxxist its great to call it from mouse curser beyond top right corner, select the app you lost and your back in town, i often forget what desktop some things i have open are at | 08:37 |
| abchirk | roccity_ from my hard drive... just play it and record my voice to it :) | 08:38 |

| qsrv | I have a question - what sound server does ubuntu use? | 08:39 |
| |ntegra| | alsa / pulse audio | 08:40 |
| knut_ | hi, how can i change the name of the mounted drives shown on my desktop? it says "234,3 GB Medium", i want it to be "Macintosh HD" | 08:40 |
| abchirk | qsrv pulse audio | 08:40 |
| lstarnes | qsrv: I think pluseaudio and alsa | 08:40 |
| Dr_willis | knut_, what filesystem is the drive? | 08:40 |
| |ntegra| | how do I restart my sound? | 08:41 |
| |ntegra| | I play a song in xmms and then I've got no sound in youtube until I reboot | 08:41 |
| knut_ | Dr willis: when i got to the volume tab is says: fuseblk | 08:41 |
| Dr_willis | knut_, tghats because its using the fuse system to access the disk.. thats not its filesystem | 08:42 |
| Dr_willis | knut_, if its NTFS or windows VFAT - use windows to set a proper volume labvel on the drive. | 08:42 |
| qsrv | and does xubuntu use pulseaudio too? | 08:42 |
| bucik85_ | /part | 08:42 |
| |ntegra| | knut_: when will you be earning your 'h' | 08:42 |
| |ntegra| | ? | 08:42 |
| maxxist | |ntegra| try going into your preferences pull down menu and clicking sound. and change all the autodetects to alsa. | 08:43 |
| knut_ | Integra: i dont understand | 08:43 |

| jinja-sheep | maxxist: How do you install Nvidia 180? It's not showing up in Hardware list for me. | 08:45 |
| Ivo | install drivers from synaptic | 08:46 |
| Ivo | the packages begin with nvidia- | 08:46 |
| maxxist | jinja-sheep open synaptic. search for nvidia. install nvidia-glx-180 it should remove the older version you have installed | 08:46 |
| jinja-sheep | maxxist: Right. nvidia-glx-180 is installed. | 08:46 |
| jinja-sheep | And it did mentioned the removal of older drivers. | 08:46 |
| |ntegra| | bummer for me I'm on xubuntu | 08:47 |
| maxxist | jinja0sheep ok now open nvidia-settings and you should be able to see the driver version number,. | 08:47 |
| |ntegra| | j #xubuntu | 08:47 |
| jinja-sheep | maxxist: Meh. I see it. <_< | 08:47 |
| |ntegra| | lol I am knuth the bad(dist)ro | 08:47 |
| opensourceje2 | alloha | 08:47 |
| opensourceje2 | is every usb-harddrive supporterd by Ubuntu? | 08:47 |
| jinja-sheep | maxxist: I guess it wouldn't show up in Hardware Drivers list... but I see the version. Never mind then. :) | 08:47 |
| === ares is now known as Guest88517 | ||
| maxxist | |ntegra| go into synaptic and remove pulseaudio it will probably fix you problem. | 08:47 |
| Ivo | to check if you have working nvidia drivers, type "glxinfo | grep direct" | 08:48 |
| squiggly | ellen is the fifth cylon | 08:48 |
| maxxist | jinja-sheep no it is considered experimental still. | 08:48 |
| Ivo | it should output "direct rendering: yes" | 08:48 |
| squiggly | have a good day | 08:48 |
| jinja-sheep | Ivo: Will check it out. | 08:48 |
| jinja-sheep | Ivo: direct rendering: Yes | 08:49 |
| jinja-sheep | GL_EXT_direct_state_access, GL_EXT_draw_range_elements, GL_EXT_fog_coord, | 08:49 |
| jinja-sheep | (direct rendering: yes) too. | 08:49 |
| Ivo | so you have drivers :) | 08:49 |
| Ivo | or you can check /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:50 |
| opensourceje2 | people every usb-harddrive is supported by Ubuntu? | 08:50 |
| jinja-sheep | Ivo: Good! It wasn't showing up as usually as it should. I'll look into the xorg now. | 08:50 |
| Dr_willis | opensourceje2, those things are prtty miuch standard.. now the extra features may not be. | 08:50 |
| Ivo | it should say "generated by nvidia-xconfig" somewhere in the beginning | 08:50 |
| * Panarchy says Hi | 08:50 | |
| Panarchy | I have recreated my linux distribution from scratch at least 7 times. The main reason I recreate it is because of size, and unneeded programs. I wish to make this as minimal as possible, in that I would like all EXCEPT these removed: GNOME, Ubuntu icons for GNOME, DPKG, Apt-Get, Network Capabilites, Generic Drivers, manpages (unless this can installed via apt-get) & the GNOME Terminal Emulator.Please tell me what to do in | 08:50 |
| opensourceje2 | ok cool tnx | 08:50 |
| datak_ | hello U all, good morning from Malaga; I just updated my nvidia driver with envy and X is dead. How can I go back to the old driver?Thanx in advance :( | 08:50 |
| Dr_willis | opensourceje2, features like buttons/launchers/ fancy displays.. No. | 08:50 |
| opensourceje2 | ok | 08:51 |
| opensourceje2 | but the storage works? | 08:51 |
| jinja-sheep | Panarchy: Just keep a note of what apps you uninstalled. Otherwise, if you were to start from the scratch, you wouldn't ask us in first place. | 08:51 |
| Ivo | datak_: what's the X error? | 08:52 |
| Ivo | and do you have bulletproof X? | 08:52 |
| Panarchy | jinja-sheep: The main problem I have with removing everything but those is the whole dependency thing | 08:52 |
| datak_ | X just cannot start | 08:52 |
| Ivo | if you do, just select the default configuration :) | 08:52 |
| Panarchy | Which is why I am asking about debootstrap | 08:52 |
| datak_ | @Ivo How? | 08:52 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: You can't remove the dependencies of packages without removing those packages. That's why they're dependencies. | 08:52 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: bootstrapping still honors depends. You can't get around them. | 08:52 |
| Ivo | there should be a menu when X doesn't start properly | 08:53 |
| baz | anyone know how to stop displaying quits/parts/joins in xChat? | 08:53 |
| jinja-sheep | Panarchy: Is this what you're looking for? http://tomfichtner.de/linux/wiki/Home -- If you don't like it... .then you know why (the dependencies). | 08:53 |
| Ivo | datak_: boot Ubuntu in recovery mode! | 08:53 |
| Ivo | and select "start X in safe mode" or something like this | 08:53 |
| datak_ | Aha! Sorry, Im so stupid, @Ivo | 08:53 |
| gnutron | baz: right click in the nick window i think | 08:53 |
| jinja-sheep | Panarchy: I have learned to live with it. Uninstall everything as you humanly could... then enjoy the life. :) | 08:54 |
| datak_ | I m trying.. I tried to mod xorg.conf, and t with Vesa, but no and lots of errors...star | 08:54 |
| baz | not there gnutron | 08:54 |
| Panarchy | jinja-sheep: Seems very interesting... however it is not exactly what I am looking for. Seems more of a GNOME equivalent | 08:54 |
| Ivo | and what exactly are the errors about? | 08:54 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: One 'easy' way would just be to enumerate all the packages you want, and then make a list of their depends (and then a list of the depends of the depends, etc). Another, would be to mark a package for removal, and then see what it yanks otu with it (when you remove a dependency, the main package will be removed) if it is removed, you know you need that package. | 08:54 |
| bazhang | baz right click channel name | 08:55 |
| jinja-sheep | Panarchy: And if you really want minimal desktop, go with Gentoo. Good luck. | 08:55 |
| Ivo | datak_: if it's not the driver, the fonts may be broken for example | 08:55 |
| baz | bazhang, thats it! thanks | 08:55 |
| datak_ | @Ivo Im rebooting in recovery mode...and I select option "try to fix X sever"¿¿ | 08:55 |
| Ivo | yes :) | 08:55 |
| datak_ | @Ivo It is driver for sure | 08:55 |
| Panarchy | jinja-sheep: The main reason I'm going with ubuntu (other than the icons) is for GNOME, dpkg, apt-get and the other advantages gotten from being debian based. The reason I'm not using debian is because not all .deb works on debian, but all .deb's work on Ubuntu. Also the icons! | 08:56 |
| jinja-sheep | Panarchy: I know you want the barebone Ubuntu with no packages. The problem is that... packages and their dependencies is what made Ubuntu a Ubuntu. If you were to remove something.... you're going to remove the dependencies (unintentionally, of course). | 08:56 |
| Ivo | Panarchy: not exactly. Ubuntu is not 100 % compatible to Debian | 08:56 |
| Panarchy | jinja-sheep: Is there someway you can tell me that I can remove everything except what I want, them being: GNOME, Ubuntu icons for GNOME, DPKG, Apt-Get, Network Capabilites, Generic Drivers, manpages (unless this can installed via apt-get) & the GNOME Terminal Emulator. | 08:56 |
| Dr_willis | Panarchy, all debs work on ubuntu? Huh? | 08:57 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: That's not true. debian and ubuntu aren't binary compatable. "all debs" won't work on Ubuntu. Take a command line install, yank out what you dont want, and then add the GUI stuff you do want. That's the only "easy" way you're going to get it finished. | 08:57 |
| jinja-sheep | Panarchy: You always could go for Ubuntu Server. It had no GUI. Then from there. You build from a scratch, sorta. | 08:57 |
| datak_ | ım used to debian more | 08:57 |
| Panarchy | Well that's what they told me on #debian | 08:57 |
| Panarchy | That not all .deb's work on Debian, because some of them are made for ubuntu | 08:57 |
| Ivo | use ubuntu alternative install | 08:57 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: They were mistaken. | 08:57 |
| datak_ | @Ivo: Fixed :D | 08:57 |
| Dr_willis | Panarchy, i think they are confused.. there are Ubuntu and Debian specifi debs. | 08:57 |
| Ivo | datak_: glad I helped you | 08:57 |
| === sean is now known as Guest14929 | ||
| === Qubits is now known as qulep | ||
| === qulep is now known as quleap | ||
| Flannel | Panarchy: well, what they said is correct. But the other way is also true. Not all debs work on Ubuntu, because some are made for debian. | 08:58 |
| Ivo | Panarchy: use ubuntu alternative install | 08:58 |
| Panarchy | Yes, well whatever the case, I think that the first step will be in knowing the exact packages that I want in. | 08:58 |
| Dr_willis | Older Deb for older ubuntuss wont work on the newer ones either... | 08:58 |
| Ivo | or install basic Ubuntu fron the alternative install and type: | 08:58 |
| Ivo | apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 08:58 |
| datak_ | Yeah, the fact is this prop. drivers work, ut u never now HOW | 08:58 |
| Panarchy | Ivo: I have tried (and am trying) the Minimal install, the normal install, the alternate install & the server install | 08:58 |
| Panarchy | Yet none do exactly what I want | 08:58 |
| jinja-sheep | Ivo: What do you mean? Alternative install? I used that. It's pretty much same thing -- but with more choices -- and lvm encrypted (in my case). | 08:58 |
| Ivo | don't use the server install :D | 08:58 |
| Ivo | it will install more things that you don't need | 08:58 |
| bashca | i have installed Gparted but wont work to parted my HDD ?? it just open and i can't parted HDD ?? how can resolve it ? | 08:58 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: *none* will do exactly what you want. That's already been mentioned. | 08:59 |
| quleap | lol banned from remote-exploit for commenting on anti off topic 'trollery' | 08:59 |
| Panarchy | Ivo: Sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop takes up an incredible amount of space and dependencies | 08:59 |
| Ivo | isn't alternative install providing package selection? | 08:59 |
| === quleap is now known as quleaps | ||
| Panarchy | Ivo: Unfortunately, no | 08:59 |
| jinja-sheep | Panarchy: You have unbelievable lot of spaces. Why bothering shaving off few MBS? | 08:59 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: there is an "expert" mode on the alternate/minimal installs which will give you a dselect interface, yes. | 08:59 |
| === quleaps is now known as Bodhicitta | ||
| === Bodhicitta is now known as foxtror | ||
| Panarchy | jinja-sheep: The main reason is because I am writing my own distribution, and the more space I have for Rainbow Tables, the better | 09:00 |
| Ivo | Flannel: it should be that way. Because if it isn't, what's the point of installing from packages at all? :D | 09:00 |
| Flannel | !nickspam > foxtror | 09:00 |
| ubottu | foxtror, please see my private message | 09:00 |

| datak_ | @bashka U run as sudo¿ | 09:00 |
| bashca | libparted : 1.8.9 | 09:00 |
| bashca | but i can't resize the partition ??? how do that | 09:00 |
| Ivo | Panarchy: just make package lists for your distro ;) | 09:00 |
| bashca | datak_, yes #root ? | 09:00 |
| Panarchy | Flannel: Ah! Expert mode, okay, I'll have a look at that. BRB | 09:00 |
| jinja-sheep | !nickspam > jinja-sheep | 09:00 |
| ubottu | jinja-sheep, please see my private message | 09:00 |
| Panarchy | Is there a smaller package then ubuntu-desktop which will install GNOME with Ubuntu icons? | 09:01 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: No. | 09:01 |
| datak_ | @bashka try unmounting all partitions, then open gparte or qtparted | 09:01 |
| Ivo | just do it manualy | 09:01 |
| Ivo | install gnome and then install the icons | 09:01 |
| Ivo | and the themes | 09:01 |
| Panarchy | Not much space is saved that way | 09:02 |
| Panarchy | I checked | 09:02 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: then you're not going to be able to save much space and still accomplish what you want. | 09:02 |
| Ivo | if you want to save space look at slitaz :D | 09:02 |
| bashca | datak_, i have 1 partition which i have intrepid on it ?? | 09:02 |
| jinja-sheep | Ivo: Did I say Thanks? I'll hope to notice the better performances in Nvida 180? | 09:02 |
| tweak | is anyone good at editing images????????? just a simple image? | 09:02 |
| jinja-sheep | (The last one wasn't a question, pardon). | 09:02 |
| Ivo | tweak: this is not a place to ask. | 09:03 |
| tweak | sorry.... if it helps any it's the ubuntu logo :) | 09:03 |

| Gautam | hi can you please tell me any ftp for which i can not see the password ? | 09:04 |
| jinja-sheep | Gautam: My guess would be openssl-server | 09:04 |
| jinja-sheep | Gautam: Then again, it's my guess. | 09:05 |
| datak_ | @Gautam lol :D | 09:05 |
| Gautam | i have used filezilla but i can view my password as xml file....any other gui based ftp which i can use | 09:05 |
| bashca | datak_, so how can free space ?? | 09:06 |
| sal | hello all | 09:06 |
| baz | anyone know of a good postfix GUI to config it | 09:06 |
| datak_ | @bash reboot on "recovery mode", "try to free some space" | 09:06 |
| Flannel | Gautam: FTP clients that store your password *have* to store it somewhere that's readable (and decryptable) because they have to save it as plaintext to send over FTP | 09:06 |
| Ivo | bashca: use the LiveCD and | 09:07 |
| Ivo | bashca: free some space by cleaning /tmp | 09:07 |
| datak_ | @Gautam u always can sniff passwords, u just have to encrypt them well | 09:07 |
| Flannel | Gautam: really, reading your xml file isn't the weakest link in an FTP connection. Anyone sniffing your data can see your password in plain text. | 09:07 |
| Ivo | bashca: or removing the logs in /var/log | 09:07 |
| datak_ | Ivo is so right | 09:07 |
| Ivo | if you are not using seperate /home partition, | 09:08 |
| Ivo | clean your home ;) | 09:08 |
| datak_ | Just gave solution 4 newbies, sorry im pretentious w**ker | 09:08 |
| Gautam | yes that is what i don't want...i am working here in company and if i installed to all computers then they can view my password. any solution ? | 09:08 |
| Dr_willis | other then learn to use ssh/scp/sftp? :) | 09:09 |
| Flannel | Gautam: Don't save your passwords | 09:09 |
| Ivo | datak_: I am glad to help :) | 09:09 |
| Dr_willis | or dont save passwords.. heh | 09:09 |
| bashca | Ivo, hmm what ab removing logs in var /log ??? i didn't get that ?? | 09:09 |
| Dr_willis | Jot them down on a post-it-note! | 09:09 |
| datak_ | U see... | 09:09 |
| datak_ | :D | 09:09 |
| Ivo | bashca: in /var/log, you have some system logs. they may be growing too big :) | 09:10 |
| datak_ | rm /var/log/* | 09:10 |
| Ivo | datak_: noo | 09:10 |
| datak_ | :D | 09:10 |
| bashca | just remove the logs right !?? | 09:10 |
| datak_ | sorry, dont do it | 09:10 |
| Ivo | just the big and unneaded logs ;) | 09:10 |
| datak_ | just joking :D | 09:10 |
| bashca | datak_, i have some programs there ;) | 09:10 |
| Ivo | removing everything in /var/log may be deadly in some distros :D | 09:10 |
| Ivo | like slackware :D | 09:10 |
| bashca | Ivo, thanks i got u | 09:10 |
| datak_ | like all | 09:11 |
| datak_ | :D | 09:11 |
| datak_ | evil command | 09:11 |
| Ivo | datak: no, it's not evil | 09:11 |
| bashca | datak_, don't joking with fatal command ;) | 09:11 |
| datak_ | ubuntu is gone¿ | 09:11 |
| datak_ | sorry | 09:11 |
| Ivo | if you want to kill pkgtools in slackware, you have to do rm -Rf /var/log/* | 09:11 |
| datak_ | :P | 09:11 |
| Ivo | because you will have to remove the directories + their subdirectories and files | 09:11 |
| Ivo | there is /var/log/packages which is the package database | 09:12 |
| Gautam | yes it may be easy to search my password in ftp...but in filezilla its easy to find...but i need any gui based ftp in which its not easy to find password | 09:12 |
| hero | please help me how can i compile XFCE in ubuntu 8.10? | 09:12 |
| Flannel | Gautam: No. Not storing your passwords with the client is the only way. | 09:12 |
| LoganPayne | you want to compile it yourself? | 09:12 |
| hero | which package i need to compile and install first? | 09:12 |
| Brack10 | Hi. Is it possible to add the XFCE window manager to an existing ubuntu install so that you can use it when you need to conserve resources for something that uses a lot of them? Like virtualization? | 09:13 |
| hero | yes | 09:13 |
| Flannel | hero: Why do you want to compile it? | 09:13 |
| Flannel | Brack10: Of course. install the xubuntu-desktop package | 09:13 |
| bandanaking | hey there every body hows it going | 09:13 |
| hero | because i haven't ever compile it :( | 09:13 |
| Brack10 | Flannel: sweet | 09:13 |
| bashca | Ivo, 1 other thing please , i tried using aptoncd but it will close when it arrived to 20 % ?? any idea why that ?? | 09:13 |
| Bodhicitta | Hey guys | 09:14 |
| Ivo | bashca: no... | 09:14 |
| Gautam | o.k flannel...also i have installed successfully FileRunner but its not showing anywhere..where can i find this application installed so that i can run it ? | 09:14 |
| bandanaking | any one like to chat | 09:14 |
| Bodhicitta | I'm using vino, and I need a good client for windows | 09:14 |
| workingchair | Hey, what torrent program do you guys use? Do most of you just use Transmission? | 09:14 |
| Bodhicitta | Would an X client be more securre | 09:14 |
| bashca | Ivo, thanks :) | 09:14 |
| Flannel | !poll | workingchair | 09:14 |
| ubottu | workingchair: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 09:14 |
| Bodhicitta | workingchair azureus is good | 09:14 |
| datak_ | @gautam, really, you can make what u want just with ssh | 09:14 |
| Ivo | Flannel: xubuntu-desktop will not only install XFCE | 09:14 |

| tweak | what is the command line rename commad? | 09:16 |
| Flannel | hero: You don't learn much from compiling stuff. | 09:16 |
| lstarnes | tweak: mv | 09:16 |
| Dr_willis | hero, clarify that a bit.. You can compile stuff easially enouhg.. | 09:16 |

| rabz | i no nothing about it | 09:19 |
| eseven73 | know* | 09:20 |
| Brack10 | workingchair: Basically you have a "NAT" firewall which needs to be explicitly configured to allow exceptions for programs bittorrent | 09:20 |
| Flannel | !helpme | rabz | 09:20 |
| ubottu | rabz: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 09:20 |
| rabz | sorry dud e | 09:20 |
| Brack10 | workingchair: programs LIKE bittorrent, sorry | 09:21 |

| Panarchy | Okay, sorry guys, I'm back now. Mibbit was having some issues, so I downloaded and installed an IRC client | 09:25 |
| Panarchy | well anyways, I'll ask my question again | 09:25 |
| * Panarchy says Hi | 09:25 | |
| Panarchy | I have recreated my linux distribution from scratch at least 7 times. The main reason I recreate it is because of size, and unneeded programs. I wish to make my distribution as minimal as possible, before adding any of the programs and features that I would specifically like in my distribution. So I'd like everything removed, EXCEPT: GNOME, Ubuntu icons for GNOME, DPKG, Apt-Get, Network Capabilites, Generic Drivers, manpages (unless | 09:25 |
| FloodBot1 | Panarchy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:25 |
| Panarchy | Thanks in advance for any extra help in this | 09:26 |
| gerber | netwoek question need help pls? | 09:26 |
| gnutron | Panarchy: http://damnsmalllinux.org/download.html | 09:26 |
| Panarchy | gnutron: I need it to be debian and GNOME based with ubuntu's GNOME icons | 09:27 |
| eseven73 | gnutron: i was gonna suggest the same thing, that or puppy | 09:27 |
| Panarchy | and I also need it to have easability features such as apt-get | 09:27 |
| Ivo | Panarchy: you can just make a mini-debian with the icon packages of Ubuntu | 09:27 |
| Panarchy | Ivo: Alright, how would I go about doing that? | 09:28 |
| Ivo | I'm sure that there must be mini distribution based on debian somewhere | 09:28 |
| Ivo | Damn Small Linux :D | 09:28 |
| yme | Hi, I've got an external 1 TB disk. Is it ok to format it as ext3, or shall I use FAT32? | 09:28 |
| Ivo | But it's outdated | 09:28 |
| Panarchy | I'll have a search for one like that | 09:28 |
| eseven73 | Panarchy: have you searched for small live cd's? some of these are based on Debian http://www.livecdlist.com/ | 09:28 |
| Panarchy | yme: Use ext3 | 09:28 |
| Ivo | yme: if you are using windows, FAT32 | 09:28 |
| Panarchy | No | 09:28 |
| Ivo | but it's a lot better to use ext3 | 09:28 |
| Panarchy | Never FAT32 | 09:28 |
| yme | Panarchy, Ivo, thanks | 09:28 |
| Ivo | Panarchy: I agree it ***, but windows doesn't support ext3 | 09:29 |
| yme | I'll use ext3 | 09:29 |
| Panarchy | We're talking about 1TB here! Remember, you can't have a 1TB FAT32 partition | 09:29 |
| Panarchy | yme: Good to know! Have fun | 09:29 |
| litong | somebody have the ALC660-VD Analog sound device ? because I cant make work the system sounds, everithing working, music, skype, flash......just the clicking on the window or buttons | 09:29 |
| yme | Ivo, I can connect from Windows to another external ext3 plugged in my Ubuntu through Samba | 09:29 |
| phnom | Ivo, There are ext-drivers for windows... | 09:29 |
| ezerhoden | is there an issue with vmware disappearing when clicking the title bar? it is still running a session but has disappeared. it is listed in top. is there a way to bring it back to foreground? | 09:29 |
| Ivo | Panarchy: FAT32 also has a nasty file size restriction (all FS have, but FAT32 supports very small files) | 09:29 |
| Panarchy | yme: Here is the way I am going to partition my 1TB hard-drive: http://i42.tinypic.com/5xmkpc.jpg | 09:29 |
| Ivo | phnom: they don't support journaling | 09:29 |
| gonewestcoast | Panarchy: You get to screw with extened partitions that way... | 09:30 |
| Panarchy | yme: there is a driver for windows that make windows support ext3 & ext2 | 09:30 |
| gonewestcoast | Good luck. :) | 09:30 |
| tweak | does anyone know the location of the little .png image beside applications? | 09:30 |
| Ivo | but it doesn't support journaling | 09:30 |
| Panarchy | gonewestcoast: Thanks :P | 09:30 |
| yme | Panarchy, I'd like to use it all for backups on Linux | 09:30 |
| Ivo | ext3 and ext2 are basicly the same but 3 has journaling | 09:30 |
| Panarchy | How about 4? | 09:30 |
| Ivo | the driver is for ext2, so it doesn't support journaling | 09:30 |
| Ivo | 4 is a lot different | 09:31 |
| Ivo | and I don't think windows will have drivers for it soon :D | 09:31 |
| yme | Panarchy, so what do you suggest? Can I create a single partition? | 09:31 |
| tweak | does ubuntu support ext4? it wasn't a partitioning option.. | 09:31 |
| roger_ | when i go to uninstall something and it lists gnome to uninstall, will it uninstall gnome or just the part it needs to | 09:32 |
| rww | tweak: The next version, Jaunty, will. Intrepid doesn't. | 09:32 |
| Panarchy | yme: Yes, make a single ext3 partition | 09:32 |
| tweak | rww:ah | 09:32 |
| Panarchy | yme: Will you be bring your hard-drive to any Mac's? | 09:32 |
| Ivo | tweak: you must be running 2.6.28 (or above) kernel to support ext4 | 09:33 |
| rabz | how do i make my logitech quickcam work on aMSN | 09:33 |
| tweak | how do I find out my kernel version? | 09:33 |
| rww | roger_: "gnome" is a metapackage. It doesn't install anything in and of itself; it just depends on other packages. If you remove it, it won't uninstall anything. | 09:33 |
| rww | tweak: uname -r | 09:33 |
| BadElvis | hello, on this other computer, i want to set a static ip address. i added it to /etc/network/interfaces but now the network doesn't work at all. how can i set a static ip adress? | 09:33 |
| Panarchy | GUI? | 09:33 |
| Ivo | rabz: gspca drivers ;) | 09:33 |
| tweak | i'm using 2.6.27.. lol | 09:34 |
| daredevilthere | Hey all I cant record sound using mic.How to configure it? | 09:34 |
| roger_ | i'm trying to uninstall transmission bittorrent client, and it lists gnome to uninstall to when i select to uninstall that | 09:34 |
| Ivo | daredebilthere: alsaconf in the terminal | 09:34 |
| Ivo | *daredevilthere | 09:34 |
| Panarchy | What is the smallest debian based linux distribution? | 09:34 |
| Ivo | Panarchy: damn small linux | 09:34 |
| Panarchy | Ivo: Is DVL debian based? | 09:35 |
| Ivo | daredevilthere: "sudo alsamixer" in terminal | 09:35 |
| Ivo | Panarchy: yes, but it's outdated I think | 09:35 |
| roger_ | you don't need sudo for alsamixer | 09:35 |
| rabz | where do i find that? | 09:35 |
| tweak | does anyone know the location of the little .png image beside applications menu? | 09:35 |
| Ivo | when you run it as root you globalize this settings I think... | 09:35 |
| rww | roger_: Yes, because the gnome package depends on Transmission. | 09:35 |
| Panarchy | So DamnSmallLinux is based off of debian, but it's outdated? | 09:35 |
| daredevilthere | Ivo: I have Intel ICH5 device | 09:35 |
| Ivo | Panarchy: yes | 09:35 |
| Ivo | it's based on old packages | 09:36 |
| Ivo | still, it can be useful | 09:36 |
| Panarchy | hmm | 09:36 |
| Panarchy | nup | 09:36 |
| roger_ | rww, can i uninstall that safely though | 09:36 |
| Panarchy | not for me | 09:36 |
| Panarchy | thanks though | 09:36 |
| FloodBot1 | Panarchy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:36 |
| Panarchy | I'll rephrase my question!!! | 09:36 |
| rww | roger_: as I already said, yes. | 09:36 |
| Panarchy | What's the smallest debian based linux distribution with GNOME? | 09:36 |
| Ivo | daredevilthere: just unmute the mic in alsamixer | 09:37 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: This isn't really on topic for this channel. | 09:37 |
| roccity_ | Panarchy: I don't think there is one | 09:37 |
| Ivo | Panarchy: google it | 09:37 |
| daredevilthere | Ivo: alrite | 09:37 |
| Panarchy | roccity_: THere isn't one? | 09:37 |
| Panarchy | :( | 09:37 |
| Panarchy | How difficult would it be to add what I want to DSL? (them being GNOME, dpkg and apt-get) | 09:37 |
| Ivo | GNOME is very heavy | 09:37 |
| Ivo | forget making a small distro with it | 09:38 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: This isn't the right channel for this. Please take it elsewhere. | 09:38 |
| rww | BadElvis: copy the contents of /etc/network/interfaces to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link it here, please. | 09:38 |
| rabz | do i look for gspca drivers in the synaptic packages? | 09:38 |
| Chousuke | Panarchy: the smallest debian distribution with Gnome is probably Debian | 09:38 |
| Ivo | rabz: I think there are build-in the kernel now | 09:38 |
| BadElvis | rww: ok | 09:38 |
| Gautam | hello, i dont about SSH. like what it can do and all...can you please give me any best tutorial (url) from where i can learn basics of SSH. | 09:39 |
| rww | Gautam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto | 09:39 |
| Ivo | but in Slackware, I had a problem: I had to replace gspca_main kernel module with another, that I had to build from a SlackBuild | 09:39 |
| rabz | i'm sorry whats a kernal? i'm not used to ubuntu at all | 09:39 |
| Ivo | so in your case, that might be the issue | 09:39 |
| tweak | is there an easy way to change the image beside applications on the menu? | 09:39 |
| Chousuke | rabz: the kernel is the core of the operating system. | 09:39 |
| BadElvis | rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105832/ | 09:39 |
| koshari | !kernel | 09:39 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 09:39 |
| koshari | rabz its not a grey haired fella that sells chicken either | 09:40 |
| rabz | so in order to get my cam running i just go to places and keep going until i find gspca driver? lol | 09:41 |
| daredevilthere | Ivo: its still not working. wht is microphone capture | 09:41 |
| rww | BadElvis: okay, that looks right. Did you issue "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" after editing /etc/network/interfaces? | 09:41 |
| rabz | i have only used ubuntu for like a week...i know absolutley nothing about linux or computers | 09:42 |
| BadElvis | rww: yes. i can however ssh to the machine, but it cannot connect to the internet | 09:43 |
| rww | BadElvis: Have you tried connecting to an IP address, like http://209.85.171.100/ (google)? That'd tell us whether it's a DNS problem. | 09:45 |
| BadElvis | rww: this works | 09:46 |
| dack | I've compile a custom 2.6.24 kernel with -rt patch, but I'm still getting really poor realtime support. anyone got any thoughts as to why? | 09:46 |
| thrillERboy | hey guys | 09:46 |
| rww | BadElvis: connecting to the IP address works? | 09:46 |
| BadElvis | rww: yes | 09:46 |
| Flannel | dack: Why didn't you just use the -rt kernel in the repos? | 09:47 |
| yme | I used e2label to assign a label to my external HD. I can see that the label has been assigned, however when I mount the drive it doesn't show. Do I need to restart the system? | 09:47 |
| thrillERboy | how good is virtual box for Xp. I'm thinking of using ubuntu as my main OS and xp under virtualbox to use it occasionally | 09:47 |
| rakesh | hello | 09:47 |
| dack | Flannel: because it's broken in everything after 2.6.24 | 09:47 |
| atlef | thrillERboy: very good | 09:47 |
| rww | BadElvis: awesome, that narrows it down to a DNS problem. Take a look in /etc/resolv.conf. Is there anything in there? | 09:47 |
| rakesh | i hav prblm in my net connection sometimes its got disconnected | 09:47 |
| ichbinesderelch | thrillERboy: works without any problems, just don't expect wathcing 3d graphics n games n stuff ;) | 09:48 |
| BadElvis | rww: it says: # Generated by NetworkManager | 09:48 |
| thrillERboy | thanks atlef and ichbinesderelch | 09:48 |
| rww | BadElvis: nothing else? | 09:48 |
| BadElvis | rww: no | 09:48 |
| dack | Flannel: is there a repo I can add to get an older one? with the default ones I only see 2.6.27 | 09:49 |
| thrillERboy | I'm not a gamer... But, I might need photoshop and stuffs like that........ | 09:49 |
| tweak | anyone know how to change the "start menu" image? | 09:49 |
| thrillERboy | let us see how these things work..... | 09:49 |
| baz | If X Windows is its own server that renders GUIs, why can't I use X on my machine to use ubuntu server (that has no desktop installed)? | 09:49 |
| thrillERboy | is there a online page... to check how many users use linux or ubuntu as of now..... | 09:50 |
| Flannel | dack: not for later versions of Ubuntu, no. | 09:50 |
| Dr_willis | baz, Huh? You could ssh to the server and run an X app - it would appear locally.. or did i missread what you asked. | 09:50 |
| rakesh | can someone help me? i hav prblm in my net settings ?sometimes its got disconnected | 09:50 |
| ronny | hi | 09:50 |
| ronny | i got a weird issue with gstreamer based apps always stopping playback of internet radio after each song | 09:51 |
| atlef | thrillERboy: be sure to add yourself to the vbox usergroup after installing it | 09:51 |
| ronny | anyone got an idea what could be wrong? | 09:51 |
| Slart | /away | 09:51 |
| Slart | oops.. sorry | 09:51 |
| thrillERboy | sure atlef | 09:51 |
| baz | Dr_willis, I would like to have an entire desktop for the server - but without installing it on the server - is that not possible? | 09:51 |
| atlef | thrillERboy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 09:51 |
| rww | BadElvis: okay. So, the problem is that you don't have any DNS servers set up. To fix it, you'll need to add one or more lines to /etc/resolv.conf of the format "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of a DNS server. If you have another computer that's accessing the Internet okay on the same subnet, you could copy what's in there. Or, you can put in your ISP's or another DNS provider's server addresses. | 09:51 |
| Dr_willis | baz, with xdmcp its very possible. :) | 09:51 |
| thrillERboy | anybody know how to connect to two channels in different server at the same time? | 09:52 |
| baz | Dr_willis, googling :) | 09:52 |
| Dr_willis | baz, you want a minimal X on the server to run the display and have the SERVER connect somewhere else to get a desktop? thats sort of backwards | 09:52 |
| atlef | thrillERboy: what client are you using? | 09:52 |
| thrillERboy | xchat... | 09:52 |
| atlef | !xchat | thrillERboy | 09:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xchat | 09:53 |
| thrillERboy | I've mIRC installed... But, I kinda don't like it without Nonamescript | 09:53 |
| dack | Flannel: hence the custom kernel. which I've got up and running just fine, but for some reasone the realtime is still terrible. Jack is throwing xruns constantly. | 09:53 |
| thrillERboy | No problem guys!! | 09:53 |
| atlef | thrillERboy: ok | 09:53 |
| tweak | I FOUND IT! | 09:53 |
| BadElvis | rww: in the configuration of the computer im currently on, it says "Primary DNS: 192.168.1.1" but that is a local address... | 09:54 |
| tweak | you have to change the icon for your icon theme | 09:54 |
| thrillERboy | is there any guides to build custom themes for ubuntu...... Coz, I like to contribute some nice themes :) | 09:54 |
| baz | Dr_willis, I want my ubuntu production webserver to be clean and pure and simple - however I really want to be able to use a gui or desktop from time-to-time to do certain tasks - since I have the entire desktop installed locally, can I not simply connect it to the server box rather than my local machine? | 09:54 |
| baz | Since X was designed in such a way... | 09:55 |
| rww | BadElvis: Some routers will act as little DNS servers, forwarding on requests to your ISP. Mine's set up like that, too; it's valid. You should be able to just put nameserver 192.168.1.1 in /etc/resolv.conf and it'll work (might need to restart networking again, I'm not sure). | 09:55 |
| user____ | baz: not sure, but i think X is a client server model: you need the client on your "server" machine, ssh -X is only "forwarding" | 09:56 |
| atlef | thrillERboy: http://art.gnome.org/ | 09:56 |
| Dr_willis | baz, X apps would be uisntalled and running on the 'server' and appearing on the local client. | 09:56 |
| rabz | i'll just use ekiga. thnx for ur time | 09:56 |
| baz | Dr_willis, yes exactly | 09:56 |
| baz | Dr_willis, basically a remote desktop solution... kind'of | 09:57 |
| BadElvis | rww: thanks, now it works. strange, until now, this was always done automatically for me | 09:57 |
| Dr_willis | baz, thats allready how X works.. but you will need to install the apps on the server. just dont let it run kdm/gdm/whateverdm | 09:58 |
| rww | BadElvis: If you do DHCP with Static IP, it gets done automatically. Non-DHCP static isn't. I'm not too sure on the details, but it's possible that's why. Glad to hear it's working now, though :) | 09:58 |
| hmtt | hi | 09:58 |
| Dr_willis | baz, you could enve set up vnc on the server to spawn as needed if your vnc client tries to connect. | 09:58 |
| BadElvis | rww: yeah, im glad too thx!! | 09:59 |
| tweak | what is the login screen theme called? it's a gtk theme or somethiung? | 09:59 |
| Dr_willis | tweak, a GDM theme | 09:59 |
| baz | Dr_willis, does that not require a desktop to exist on the server? i.e. 2gb of files | 09:59 |
| tweak | THANK YOU! | 09:59 |
| Dr_willis | baz, You need the clients you wish to run - to be on the server.. a ubuntu install is under 4gb,, so ive no idea how big the X stuff would be | 10:00 |
| Panarchy | brb | 10:00 |
| metaxy | Anyone know what the channel is for network geekery in general? (Setting up routers, etc.) | 10:00 |
| baz | Dr_willis, excuse my obtuseness but are you saying that the server has to have the desktop installed on it? | 10:01 |
| Dr_willis | baz, if you ssh to the server and run 'xterm' then yes the server has to have xterm installed on it... | 10:02 |
| arcad3 | wow no chatting at all on #ubuntu | 10:04 |
| tweak | once i have a gdm theme, what's the propper way of installing it? | 10:04 |

| baz | Dr_willis, for example lets say I wanted to copy and move many files around... I can do it thru the command line of course, but I could also do it thru nautilus... nautilus has lots of gui code but what it interacts with is a file system | 10:04 |
| baz | my server has a filesystem... | 10:05 |
| baz | so i want to point nautilus to my server's files system | 10:05 |
| Dr_willis | baz, nautilus if you ran it after you did 'ssh -x' would ghave to be isntalled on the server then... OR you can use some local app to access the remote servers filesystems | 10:05 |
| Dr_willis | baz, thats what 'nfs' is all about. :) | 10:05 |
| arcad3 | tweak System>Administration>Login Window >> Local Tab | 10:05 |
| Dr_willis | baz, or ssh in, and use 'mc' :) or some other console based file manager.. that may be safer | 10:06 |
| Bodhicitta | yay all setup with pwless ssh logins | 10:06 |
| tweak | sweet thank you! | 10:06 |
| arcad3 | np | 10:06 |
| Bodhicitta | night folks | 10:06 |
| baz | Dr_willis, so why the -x if I am installing everything on the server anyway? | 10:06 |
| RichiH | or use konqureror and fish://youruser@yourserver | 10:06 |
| RichiH | which is he most convenient, by far | 10:06 |
| arcad3 | or putty apt-get install putty | 10:07 |
| RichiH | the* | 10:07 |
| Dr_willis | baz, how are you going to get the apps to appear LOCALLY.. :) thas the trick. | 10:07 |
| baz | Dr_willis, would X have to be installed on the server too? | 10:08 |
| Dr_willis | baz, isntalling the X apps would pull in and install quite a bit of X. but you do not need to be running X or kdm/gdm/xdm | 10:08 |
| earthmeLon | Hey guys, I downloaded a cursor theme for x11 and I found where in Compiz Manager to change my theme, but I don't know where I need to put the theme files. Could someone throw me a bone here? | 10:08 |
| baz | "The X is built with network in mind with the capability to run a (graphical) session on a remote computer" | 10:09 |
| baz | that quote sounds like something super-cool... but its really nothing? | 10:10 |
| baz | it sounds a lot like u could have a dumb terminal with only X installed and attach that to any server u like | 10:10 |
| baz | but really X and all its progs have to be installed everywhere anyways? | 10:11 |
| Dr_willis | baz, you can have a 'dumb terminal' that is just the X display.. and have allt he apps running on the server | 10:11 |
| Dr_willis | baz, Not all the apps... just the X display/server | 10:11 |
| Dr_willis | baz, theres been X terminals out for years that do just that.. a big server - serving up 1000+ X terminals to the clients | 10:11 |
| baz | Dr_willis, that would be great... thats kind of what i am looking for - is it not? | 10:12 |
| Dr_willis | $300 X terminal, and a $30,000+ server | 10:12 |
| baz | using my local X to connect to my server? | 10:12 |
| Dr_willis | baz, you seem to be obsessed about not installing stuff ont eh server.. IF you run stuff ON the server.. it has to be installed On the server.. the CLIENT just needs X | 10:12 |
| === w0ng is now known as w0ng|out | ||
| baz | Dr_willis, in these dumb terminal environments you speak of, how does one choose a program? | 10:13 |
| baz | Dr_willis, how does one interact with files? | 10:13 |
| baz | is there a duplicate program installed for each instance? | 10:13 |
| baz | nautlius 30,000 times, firefox duplicated 30,000 times? | 10:14 |
| Dr_willis | baz, yoyu sit down at it.. you see a KDM login/gdm login.. and type in the user name/paswword.. and away it goes.. | 10:14 |
| Dr_willis | baz if 1000 clients are all runnign firefox.. then the server is running firefox 10000 times... | 10:14 |
| Dr_willis | the clients are just displaying the output of the program to the screen | 10:14 |
| cweigle | Does anyone know of a good ruby compiler? | 10:14 |
| Dr_willis | baz, the 'client' can be totally without a hard drive.. or just a minimal local drive | 10:15 |
| baz | Dr_willis, thats making a lot of sense to me actually and making me angry at the same time | 10:15 |
| simplexio | baz: check ltsp ubuntun howto | 10:15 |
| MrEgg964 | hi all :) I'm trying to rsync (with ssh) /usr/share/fonts/truetype from one computer to another, but I'm getting a 'Permission denied' error. How can I give rsync the necessary privileges for the operation to complete? TIA | 10:15 |
| tweak | sudo! | 10:16 |
| Dr_willis | baz, ages ago we had 'serial' terminals that just did text. :) basicially the same idea. | 10:16 |
| MrEgg964 | tweak: no, sudo doesn't work | 10:16 |
| Dr_willis | i still have a serial terminal or 2 | 10:16 |
| cweigle | sudo apt-get install opera | 10:16 |

| cweigle | oops sorry accidently clicked over from terminal | 10:16 |
| simplexio | MrEgg964: you need right permission on both machines to write/read those path | 10:17 |
| Dr_willis | I dont think oprea is in the repos | 10:17 |
| cweigle | I didn't mean to post that | 10:17 |
| cweigle | Yes it is willis | 10:17 |
| Ivo | opera is not free software ;) | 10:17 |
| Ivo | so it won't be in the repos | 10:17 |
| cweigle | Opera is free im getting it right now | 10:17 |
| simplexio | there is .deb packages in opera site | 10:17 |
| MrEgg964 | simplexio: right! so what should I do? create an rsync account on both computers? | 10:17 |

| Dr_willis | i recall opera used to be on medibuntu but dident see it there lately | 10:19 |
| Ivo | by "free" I mean open source | 10:19 |
| rww | Dr_willis: it's in Ubuntu's Partner repositoriy, if I remember correctly. | 10:19 |

| cweigle | Ivo, its still in the repos | 10:19 |
| Ivo | nvrpunk: it might be not in $PATH, so specify the full path to the executable | 10:19 |
| Dr_willis | rww, i recall it used to be there.. but i havent checked lately :) i was testing out the opera beta the other day | 10:19 |
| kernel | Hi,~ | 10:20 |
| simplexio | opera 9.63 .deb package is latest package | 10:20 |
| rww | Guest51856: If you need nickserv help, please /join #freenode and ask there. C programming questions are off-topic for this channel; you'd be much better off getting your registration problem sorted and then asking elsewhere. | 10:20 |
| user____ | Guest51856: (maybe) the space between uint8_t and * looks a bit fishy | 10:20 |
| baz | Dr_willis, so what about this... I have installed locally the ubuntu desktop... this desktop runs programs that are installed on it, it knows what programs to display in the menu based on apt data (right?) and then ofcourse there are utility programs like network manager installed | 10:20 |
| kernel | Maybe , Can i use the 4 GB RAM in 32 bit?? | 10:21 |
| Dr_willis | kernel, not all of it will get used. Most. but not all | 10:21 |
| cweigle | Ok, so does anyone know about a good ruby compiler | 10:21 |
| baz | Dr_willis, my remote server has apt installed on it | 10:21 |
| Ivo | kernel: yes | 10:21 |
| Ivo | enable highmem | 10:21 |
| Ivo | in the kernel configuration | 10:21 |
| kernel | kernel recomplie? | 10:22 |
| doseryder | What's that package/program that gives me the Program launcher at the middle bottom of the screen whcih resembles the one avaibable in OSX? | 10:22 |
| baz | Dr_willis, is it atleast theoretically possible that my local desktop simply use what is available on the server to run the programs installed on the server | 10:22 |
| kernel | By the way, if Server kernel use, then Use 4GB RAM? | 10:22 |
| user____ | cweigle: try #ruby and search their channel topic for links to FAQ's etc | 10:22 |
| cweigle | ok | 10:23 |
| simplexio | kernel: $ zgrep -i highmem /proc/config.gz | 10:23 |
| kernel | oh Thanks.. | 10:23 |
| cweigle | Oh and weird thing, the flash bug in Intrepid is nonexistant in opera | 10:23 |
| simplexio | kernel: if no, then recompile | 10:23 |
| rww | doseryder: Avant Window Navigator? | 10:23 |
| cweigle | So if you have a flash item you need to view use opera browser | 10:23 |
| kernel | simplexio Thanks Very much | 10:23 |
| Dr_willis | baz, they run on the server. and appear locally. the apps wold be accessing the files on the server. | 10:24 |
| Ivo | kernel: just download the kernel version you need, | 10:24 |
| kernel | Ok, Thanks. | 10:25 |
| baz | Dr_willis, exactly, we are on the same page... | 10:25 |
| doseryder | rww: ty, I think thats what I need. What is that "program launher" called? | 10:25 |
| Ivo | copy /boot/config (or something like this) to .config in the kernel source dir | 10:25 |
| Dr_willis | baz, thats what i have been sayinf ro the last hr+ :) | 10:25 |
| doseryder | i'm referring to it with a wrong term | 10:25 |
| tweak | what is beryl? | 10:25 |
| Dr_willis | !beryl | 10:25 |
| ubottu | Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 10:25 |
| Ivo | then edit .config with your text editor and enable highmem | 10:25 |
| rww | doseryder: it's called a "dock", according to OS X. | 10:25 |
| simplexio | baz: yes. there is many ways to do it... mount /usr/ from server to destop /usr/, then all programs are in server but desktop runs them. or you can use for an example ssh -X user@server and run apps installed in server. in that case programs are run in server but display is on your computer. Also there is ltsp option which is again little different | 10:25 |
| tweak | kew | 10:25 |
| Ivo | beryl is a compozing window manager, like compiz | 10:25 |
| Ivo | but now it's a part of compiz fusion | 10:26 |
| rww | tweak: one of the parents of Compiz Fusion. You should use Compiz Fusion instead. | 10:26 |
| doseryder | rww: ty. u have urself a good day =D | 10:26 |
| tweak | i'm using compiz... don't know about fusion? | 10:26 |
| bazhang | tweak, its the same | 10:26 |
| tweak | o | 10:26 |
| Ivo | kernel: add CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y to the kernel configuration and comment out "CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM" | 10:26 |
| tweak | what's a VLC theme? | 10:27 |
| bazhang | tweak, help in #compiz-fusion | 10:27 |
| Dr_willis | <tweak> compiz actually IS 'compiz-fusion' now a days :) | 10:27 |
| Ivo | tweak: there is no updated distro that uses compiz instead of compiz-fusion :) | 10:27 |
| baz | simplexio, is mounting /usr a viable safe option!? | 10:27 |
| kernel | Ivo // Very Thanks, I will use it. | 10:27 |
| rww | tweak: Compiz is the name of the compositing window manager. Compiz Fusion is the name of the plugins and configuration system it uses. | 10:27 |
| Ivo | in some distributions, the starting binary isn't compiz, but it's compiz-fusion | 10:27 |
| Ivo | If it's compiz, it's still compiz fusion :D | 10:27 |
| simplexio | baz: yes, for using server /usr/ on another computer | 10:28 |
| tweak | anyone know what a VLC theme is? | 10:28 |
| rww | tweak: it's a theme for the program VLC | 10:28 |

Can someone give me any ideas on how to fix. (md5sum on cd is fine, burnt twice now low speed, cd check said no errors i have a 64bit cpu) | 10:49 |
| Panarchy | Flannel: Well I really need to figure/find all of this stuff out | 10:50 |
| Panarchy | and the sooner the better! | 10:50 |
| khelll | Panarchy : there is Power management, but it's all about display and sleep nothing more | 10:50 |
| skitzware | fallore: install gparted | 10:50 |
| rww | !gparted | fallore | 10:50 |
| ubottu | fallore: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 10:50 |
| fallore | thanks | 10:50 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: You need to do it in the proper channels. I will not allow you to continue to ask in here. | 10:50 |
| sarmisak | khelll: maybe you should pop a terminal window and type 'killall trackerd' | 10:50 |

| shavin | why does my battery indicator on the menu bar disappear sometimes? like when ac shuts down. how do i bring it back on. i tried "adding" battery indicator by right clicking on panel but then that is different from the one existing earlier. And sometimes when the original one comes back on there become two indicators. | 10:50 |
| sarmisak | shavin: when you see the indicator right click to it, there are settings when to display it | 10:51 |

| shavin | if i add another battery icon to the menu panel, the original one and the second one show different minutes left to full charge. One is showing 18 minutes until charged and the original one is showing 20 minutes until charged. Howis this happening? | 11:09 |

| trancefat | Hi All, can I create a regular backup of a particular folder with a timestamped name for it? If I must do this thru cron then does crontab take a command? | 11:10 |
| ziroday | shavin: they both get thier battery information from different places. gnome-power-manager also monitors your battery life over time and tries to find a more realistic figure as to how much battery time you have left whilst the other one just reads it straight from the battery | 11:10 |
| ziroday | Smokey012: you should probably note that this is for support queries whilst #ubuntu-offtopic is just for general chat | 11:11 |
| Flannel | Panarchy: There is no single command | 11:11 |
| rww | Panarchy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=602270 | 11:11 |
| shavin | ziroday: the original one takes it directly from the battery? or the new one? | 11:11 |
| Smokey012 | Aahh I see, well that makes sense then | 11:12 |
| ziroday | shavin: depends, the one that is blue takes it from the battery and then monitors your battery life over time and tries to make it more realistic. The green one gets it direct from the battery. its recommended you use the blue one | 11:12 |

| ziroday | bootcamp911: pardon? | 11:25 |
| Dr_willis | baz, you can have totally hidden 'vnc sessions' on the vncserver. or it 'can' share the currently seen desktop.. or it can spawn vnc sessions on the fly..or you can ssh in and start one... | 11:25 |

| Dr_willis | baz, vnc is a very flexiable tool. it does much more then 'share the current desktop' :) | 11:25 |
| user____ | trancefat: man find has excellent examples at the end of the man page. you need to recursively find the files and then pipe them individually trough the "add-date-modifier" and then call the cp command | 11:25 |

| engemec | buddies! I would like to reduce my memory ram busy. | 11:34 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, ok then im not gonan recommend it, thanx | 11:34 |
| rww | baz: You want gnome-session, I think | 11:34 |
| BlackAeronaut | No, I don't know how to do that in terminal. | 11:34 |
| rww | !away > Panarchy | 11:34 |
| ubottu | Panarchy, please see my private message | 11:34 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: both are VERY powerful and can provide amazing benifits IF used in the right way with the right tools | 11:34 |
| BlackAeronaut | ziroday: No, I don't know how to do that in terminal. | 11:34 |
| ziroday | BlackAeronaut: no, no not in the terminal. Using audacious, when selecting an mp3 file does do any errors pop up in the terminal? | 11:34 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: if you don't have a need or use the wrong setup - it can be a real pain and at worst fatal to your system | 11:34 |
| baz | Flannel, rww, sudo startx (sudo was required) through my ssh -X seemed to start but nothing is visible - i will try gnome-session | 11:34 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, one more thing: software raid is better / faster then fakeraid right? | 11:34 |
| BlackAeronaut | ziroday: OH! Wait one... | 11:35 |
| Panarchy | !ubottu pizza | 11:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ubottu pizza | 11:35 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: no - again they are different technologyes, software raid is %100 in the linux kerneal and controlable, fakeraid is a setup of reverse engineered windows driver that (in my opinion) is a disgrace | 11:35 |
| Panarchy | !pizza | 11:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pizza | 11:35 |
| ikonia | Panarchy: stop | 11:35 |
| engemec | i'm using ubuntu 8.04 without graphics efects and my system using 330mb | 11:35 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, well its for a home server, mainly to learn, but its also gonna have some KVM VMs running | 11:36 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, also its a xeon with 8GB or RAM :p | 11:36 |
| Stalker72 | When I try to install Kubuntu using the minimal installer, it says "boot:". What do I do? | 11:36 |
| Flannel | Stalker72: Hit enter. | 11:36 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, yeah so fakraid is the best option in linux :) | 11:36 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: I'd advise against using fake raid for anything, esepcially a learning situation as it is not relevant (again in my opinion) to any real world situation | 11:36 |
| BlackAeronaut | ziroday: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105855/ Got an interesting looking error here. | 11:36 |
| ziroday | engemec: you can use top/htop to find out where all the ram is going to | 11:36 |
| Stalker72 | Flannel: OK, thanks! :D | 11:36 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, i must add though that in windows fakeraid works pretty nice :) i still use windows sometime when i want to play a game | 11:36 |
| ziroday | BlackAeronaut: hmm it seems to be an error with pulseaudio. Can you play the .ogg files in ~/Examples? | 11:37 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: as I've said, as a technology, I find it a disgrace | 11:37 |

| baz | hehe running gnome-session crashed my desktop | 11:40 |
| ziroday | BlackAeronaut: thats fine. Does that audio file play? | 11:40 |
| BlackAeronaut | ziroday: the files won't load. No messages show up in terminal. | 11:42 |
| ziroday | BlackAeronaut: right, it seems like audacious isn't working with pulseaudio. You are running intrepid? | 11:42 |
| engemec | ziroday, i don't undestand. top command show me somethigs, but can't follow it. top command does't show me everything. | 11:43 |
| BlackAeronaut | ziroday: yes. I'm not using pulse audio, though. I got everything pointing to ALSA. | 11:43 |
| ziroday | BlackAeronaut: when you go to Preferences -> Audio -> Audio System is the PulseAudio Output Plugin selected? | 11:43 |
| BlackAeronaut | Ziroday: ALSA Output. | 11:43 |
| leandroribeiro | Hi you all! Is there any repo that would allow me to install KDE 4.3 on top of Ubuntu 8.04? | 11:43 |
| fuzzel_ | irc.abjects.net | 11:44 |
| engemec | ziroday: everything is important. I will try use fluxbox or blackbox | 11:44 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, do you happen to know if this will work in a KVM guest? then i can make him a little howto | 11:44 |
| engemec | ziroday: thanks a lot | 11:44 |
| rww | leandroribeiro: Did you mean KDE 4.2? | 11:45 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, (dont have anough disks for raid here) | 11:45 |
| ziroday | engemec: it shows you the _top_ programs. To sort by memory you can hit F and then n | 11:45 |
| leandroribeiro | rww: yes! :) | 11:45 |
| leandroribeiro | misspell | 11:45 |
| ziroday | BlackAeronaut: can you change it to pulseaudio? | 11:45 |
| BlackAeronaut | Sure, but that wasn't working before either. | 11:45 |
| tavish | what command makes the output of some command to show one page at a time | 11:45 |
| Flannel | tavish: less | 11:45 |
| BlackAeronaut | ziroday: Sure, but that wasn't working before either. | 11:45 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: it will work within a kvm guest, however it will work very badly due to the disks being a virtualised disk, common practice is to present a singel disk to a virtual machine that is configured at the host rather than the guest | 11:46 |
| ziroday | What is the difference between less and more? | 11:46 |
| imyourdj86 | ciao | 11:46 |

| trancefat | koshari: thanks | 11:47 |
| ziroday | BlackAeronaut: hmm | 11:47 |
| Solarium | A little wierd question but i am counting on you :P There is a debian based distro called satux, does any one know how i turn it to be in english ? (default is brasilian) | 11:48 |
| ziroday | BlackAeronaut: hmm well it "just works" over here. So I'm really not that sure. Sorry | 11:48 |
| rww | leandroribeiro: I'm not sure how to do it in Hardy. Try asking in #kubuntu; they deal with this sort of thing more than this channel. | 11:49 |
| BlackAeronaut | ziroday: It's okay. I guess some programs are just weird in certain combinations. *sighs* | 11:49 |
| leandroribeiro | rww: thanks! I'll do that! | 11:49 |
| user____ | Solarium: does it still login as root by default? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-691762.html | 11:50 |
| Solarium | user____, yes | 11:50 |
| Solarium | user____, yes | 11:50 |
| Solarium | user____, well i geuss so, it doesn't have terminal installed ^^ and alt+f dont work :D | 11:51 |
| user____ | Solarium: so thats a good reason not to use satux :-) | 11:51 |
| Solarium | user____, well i have the sis curse @_@ and seems like the satux is the only distro that has 3D support for my VGA card | 11:51 |
| koshari | trancefat or for current unix time, date +%s | 11:51 |
| Dr_willis | Solarium, and what video card is that? | 11:52 |
| linux_newbie | !su | 11:52 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 11:52 |
| trancefat | koshari: thanks... thats exactly what i wanted | 11:52 |
| antonio__ | hi | 11:52 |
| Dr_willis | Solarium, it would seem odd that its some how doing somthing special to get that card going.. if its using the normal X packages/drivers... | 11:52 |
| Solarium | Dr_willis, SiS 771/671 Mirage 3 | 11:53 |
| trancefat | koshari: so that means i can take a backup of a folder by cp path/to/project path/to/backup/date+%s | 11:53 |
| DeadPanda | trancefat: cp -r | 11:53 |
| trancefat | DeadPanda: yes of course... | 11:54 |
| antonio__ | i installed monodevelop and apache on ubuntu, now when i try to build in monodevelop it builds but still wants to run from xsp2, how do i change it so it runs on apache ? | 11:54 |
| Solarium | Dr_willis, well its a long story that goes like this, sis has 3d driver but wont release it to end users, brasil has some company that makes cheap laptops with same card, and the company develops the satux linux | 11:54 |
| user____ | trancefat: cp path path/backup/`date+%s` | 11:54 |
| Solarium | Dr_willis, so sis released the driver to them | 11:54 |
| CCRMAlite | hi I'm trying to use gparted to create a HFS+ partition on my external drive | 11:54 |
| user____ | trancefat: and also what DeadPanda said | 11:54 |
| trancefat | user____: thanks | 11:55 |
| CCRMAlite | HFS is blocked out though | 11:55 |
| Solarium | Dr_willis, from my understanding they have some agreement with sis so they cant release the source code for it | 11:55 |
| CCRMAlite | and yes the drive is unmounted | 11:55 |
| koshari | user____ recursive switch, | 11:55 |
| rww | CCRMAlite: try installing the hfsprogs package. | 11:56 |

| _2 | what's the default boot loader in the new ubuntu ? | 11:56 |
| _2 | CCRMAlite yes or aptitude | 11:57 |
| _2 | !apt | CCRMAlite | 11:57 |
| ubottu | CCRMAlite: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 11:57 |
| _2 | so is the default boot loader grub or grub2 ??? | 11:58 |
| Hagge2 | Where is a good place to have shared dokuments in the Linux file system? | 11:59 |
| koshari | trancefat as user____ said but with space between "date" and " +%s | 11:59 |
| koshari | Hagge2 /var/www | 11:59 |
| trancefat | koshari: yeah, i just figured that out | 11:59 |
| _2 | Hagge2 or /mnt | 11:59 |
| trancefat | koshari: do you think can i stick this line in crontab? | 12:00 |
| msl | Hagge2, I always put it in either /media/stuff or /home/shared | 12:00 |
| koshari | trancefat cant see why not if it works, | 12:00 |
| koshari | trancefat make a little script if it dont | 12:00 |
| _2 | Hagge2 /usr/local/documents would be good | 12:00 |
| Hagge2 | msl: thanks, and set some group rights to apply, cheers mate | 12:01 |
| trancefat | koshari: can i make the script in a text editor and save it as a .sh? | 12:01 |
| CCRMAlite | rww: so in short I can install hfsprogs with apt-get right? I'd rather avoid any compiling if I can. | 12:01 |
| _2 | so what's the default boot loader in the new ubuntu ? | 12:01 |
| mx | hi | 12:01 |
| Hagge2 | _2: thanks, and set some group rights to apply, cheers mate | 12:01 |
| SlimeyPete | _2: you mean Intrepid, or Jaunty? | 12:01 |
| koshari | trancefat just make it executable | 12:01 |
| rww | CCRMAlite: sudo apt-get install hfsprogs should work fine | 12:01 |
| SlimeyPete | (define "new" :) ) | 12:01 |
| _2 | SlimeyPete both | 12:02 |
| trancefat | koshari: by right clicking and selecting that option? | 12:02 |
| rww | _2: Umm. Grub. | 12:02 |
| rww | _2: same as it's been for a while | 12:02 |
| Hagge2 | msl: sorry there too fast on the tab key | 12:02 |
| SlimeyPete | _2: intrepid uses grub. I presume Jaunty does too but I'm not certain. You could ask in #ubuntu+1. | 12:02 |
| koshari | trancefat yes and add a comment | 12:02 |
| _2 | rww grub or grub2 ? | 12:02 |
| trancefat | koshari: comment for me to understand later right? or is it for the crontab | 12:02 |
| _2 | SlimeyPete asking because grub is weak but grub2 has been fixed | 12:02 |
| koshari | trancefat first like of the script, #!/bin/bash and place the script somewhere in your path | 12:03 |
| _2 | SlimeyPete i use partitionless systems and grub can't be installed there. grub2 can however. | 12:03 |
| Flannel | _2: GRUB | 12:03 |
| koshari | trancefat otherwise create a bid dir in ~/ and restart the session | 12:03 |
| rww | _2: Not sure, but I think grub. grub2 is in the repositories in intrepid and jaunty, though. | 12:04 |
| _2 | Flannel someone needs to put in a word for grub2, much more flexable | 12:04 |
| Flannel | _2: You can use GRUB2, its just not default (also I don't know if its installable during install, but it is in the repos) | 12:04 |
| koshari | trancefat sorry, freate a "bin" dir in ~/ | 12:04 |

| Dre4m | Good afternoon people, would someone be able to please point me in the right direction for a MSN compatible program for linux that has webcam support (that doesn't make it look dark and terrible like AMSN) ? thankyou very much in advanced | 12:41 |
| tvgv | got amsn | 12:41 |

| ber2 | Dre4M: yeah, aMSN would be my choice too | 12:42 |
| ortsvorsteher | !who | tvgv | 12:42 |
| ubottu | tvgv: 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 :) | 12:42 |
| primary_ | ortsvorsteher: I am running Xubuntu and I'm not seeing it. | 12:42 |
| ortsvorsteher | primary_: which distribution? hardy? intrepid? | 12:42 |
| lillobyte91 | italian? | 12:42 |

| Dre4m | thankyou guys, . . . the thing is AMSN makes the webcam look unusable you know? . . . awfull cam looks great in xp . . in ubuntu it looks like a joke you know? | 12:43 |
| primary_ | ortsvorsteher: 8.10 | 12:43 |
| primary_ | ortsvorsteher: 8.10, is that intrepid? | 12:43 |
| Dre4m | so im having to dual boot or go back to using windows just to use a webcam which is rediculous . . . any driver tweaks or anythign i can do? | 12:43 |
| ortsvorsteher | primary_: yes, 8.10 is intrepid. which resolution do you have now? | 12:44 |

| Dre4m | i cant be the only person thats had this problem | 12:45 |
| DkySven | hello people | 12:45 |
| emorris | Dre4m: I don't think it's to do with AMSN, unless it has options. It's either your webcam or the module for it. I have the same problem with webcam on SKype | 12:46 |
| ortsvorsteher | primary_: sorry, i have to go now... ask again your complete question please in the channel | 12:46 |

| siddu_teja | how to keep my wall paer fixed | 12:55 |
| bthompson | emorris, next question...i have 3 160 gb drives...i just came from a windows world...so bare with me...i completely wiped out windows an am loving ubuntu by the way...i want to convert the other 2 drives that are ntfs...to linux....im used to just formating the whole things ntfs and make folders and saving data on those drives..do i just do the same thing with ubuntu and format them and create ext3.. | 12:56 |
| baz | glymph, it is not pure console requiring some gui libs - is that recommended? A lot of people for example do not recommend installing the desktop | 12:56 |
| CCRMAlite | when I try to format the partition to hfs it says "error filesize can't be bigger than 2gb" | 12:56 |
| minghags | anyone can help? | 12:56 |
| emorris | bthompson: yep, although Ubuntu can read ntfs too | 12:56 |
| CCRMAlite | which doesn't make sense since there are no files and I'm formatting | 12:56 |
| glymph | baz: there is an entirely text-based version of emacs | 12:57 |
| rascal999 | i have a tablet computer and im wondering if making it alternate between the battery and mains would save power, and, if so, are there any programs out there that let me do this | 12:57 |
| baz | glymph, oh really, how do i fire it up? | 12:57 |
| CCRMAlite | as for HFS+, which is what I really want, I can't even TRY formatting to that | 12:57 |
| emorris | emorris: although if you wanted to install linux on them, they would need to be a linux filesystem for example ext3 | 12:57 |
| glymph | baz: search the repositories for the relevant package, there are several | 12:57 |
| CCRMAlite | even though the utility I installed is supposed to be for HFS+ | 12:57 |
| bthompson | emorris, so is there even a need to do that? I guess what would be the benefit of me moving on that data around so i could get to ext3 on all my drives.. | 12:58 |
| glymph | baz: I would imagine "nox" (as in no X) would suffice | 12:58 |
| baz | glymph, installing 26mb for gedit on a remote production server is not something people do is it? | 12:58 |
| emorris | bthompson: you only need to use a linux filesystem if you want to put linux on it | 12:58 |
| emorris | installl linux on it ** | 12:58 |
| glymph | 26 MB is a tiny amount of data by today's standards. | 12:59 |
| baz | glymph, emacs22 or emacs21? | 12:59 |
| emorris | bthompson: unless you want the benefits of ext3... | 12:59 |
| bthompson | emorris, ok thats cool..i guess it would be go to leave the one drive ntfs as it is a portable drive that i often take to a friends house...he wouldn't be able to read it... | 12:59 |
| bthompson | emorris, what would be the benefits... | 12:59 |
| baz | glymph, i agree 26mb is very little - even 2gb is very little when you have terrabytes but for some reason people highly suggest not to install the desktop | 13:00 |

| emorris | bthompson: no need to defrag, journaling support (less likely to become corrupted), quieter | 13:01 |
| CCRMAlite | anyone familiar with gparted? | 13:01 |
| baz | james|, you should edit locally and deploy? | 13:01 |

| james| | baz: yes, via your configuration management/tracking and version control tool | 13:02 |
| daredevilthere | How do i convert songs from wma to mp3 in ubuntu | 13:02 |
| james| | baz: so you know *exactly* what state that production server is in, so you can rebuild a new one if necessary | 13:02 |
| dayo_ | baz: if u have a test server do it there. or, at least backup before editing | 13:02 |
| baz | james|, does that include apache conf? | 13:02 |
| bthompson | emorris, well that sounds like a lot better option to me then...is there anyway for a user to read ext3 in windows...maybe if i put an app on the portable drive that they have to install... | 13:02 |

| mattias__ | err, i think relative. I told wget to convert links for offline use | 13:06 |
| bthompson | emorris, its not a regular basis...maybe 2 times a year..i have taken it to a friends how to copy movies on to or whatever... | 13:06 |

| LeChacal | I am new to compiling programs from source and I was wondering if i could compile from source a version of a program that I made changes to but still leave the version that I got from the repository installed and have both work. If so how would I go about doing that? | 13:40 |

| pwuertz | Flannel: hm.. these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux have lots of errors.. there are path inconsistencies and some vital steps are missing completely... I would not recommend that to people searching for a installing guide | 13:40 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: mirroring your partitions have to be the same as it's a "copy" 5 is spanning multiple disks so your partitions could be 1 meg, 1000000meg and 20 meg, and you'd just have them all added together | 13:40 |
| unop | shahrooz, yea, if you want to install wine on that system .. and your PC is the machine that is connected to the internet. | 13:40 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: thats it' - correct | 13:40 |

| SMEPTb | êîäèðîâêà íàìàíàÿ? | 13:42 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: you make the partitions as you want on the disk, then you make a "virtual" partition spanning the physical partitions, you then put the mount points you want on your virtual partiton, so it doesn't matter the layout of the "real" partition | 13:42 |
| baz | ikonia, he does have to make identical partitions on each drive... | 13:42 |

| Ward1983 | ikonia, lol i type it before i realise, this is the only channel im going to that freaks about that word... | 13:44 |
| jrib | LeChacal: you really need to recompile for that? | 13:44 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: they can, but the parity will be limited to the smallest disk | 13:44 |
| iJoh | CCRMAlite: I am, but I can't find any answers anywhere :p | 13:44 |
| CCRMAlite | right on | 13:44 |
| maxbaldwin | Nookia: Don't be flooding. We saw your post, wait until someone else has an answer. or look it up yourself if nobody know. | 13:45 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, lol yeah thats what i thought | 13:45 |
| maxbaldwin | *knows | 13:45 |
| Ward1983 | so the size ideally is the same | 13:45 |
| LeChacal | jrib: yes that is what i got from talking to the people in the wget irc channel. wget has a bug in it that does not allow you to turn off timestamping | 13:45 |
| jrib | NooKia: please don't repeat. Ubuntu does use xorg 7.4. 1.6 is the version of the xorg-server iirc | 13:45 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: in terms of not wasting space, yes that is better, sorry I should have made that clear | 13:45 |
| NooKia | xorg-server iirc ? | 13:45 |
| NooKia | whats that ? | 13:45 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, no problem its very clear now | 13:45 |
| jrib | NooKia: if I recall correctly | 13:45 |

| howtoo | wierd to get bad blocks on a brand new hard disk | 13:47 |
| NooKia | so if it wasnt release what was it ? | 13:47 |
| baz | Ward1983, haha, i'm not testing u man, trying to learn myself | 13:48 |
| NooKia | its out to download | 13:48 |
| ikonia | NooKia: a development platform that is discussed in the channel #ubuntu+1 | 13:48 |
| ikonia | NooKia: please join #ubuntu+1 to talk about jaunty | 13:48 |
| Ward1983 | baz, lol ok it looked like you were | 13:48 |
| NooKia | its out to download so it has been released | 13:48 |
| Ward1983 | baz, wait untill im done, ill make a screenie :) | 13:48 |
| iJoh | CCRMAlite: Probably some other mac format like HFS, so the answer must be a sort of "no". You can create a FAT32 partition and repartition that with an OS X DVD with the disk utility | 13:48 |
| CCRMAlite | yes iJoh | 13:48 |
| bhaskark | hi, just now i updated my system to 8.10, but my System freezes before login screen, any help?? btw i removed compiz and compiz-core | 13:48 |
| maxbaldwin | no, beta's out for download, NooKia. | 13:48 |
| baz | Ward1983, okidoki | 13:48 |
| jrib | LeChacal: ok. Your other option is to just edit the wget source package from ubuntu. But if you really want two version, one with timestamping and one without then installing to /usr/local/ is the way to go | 13:48 |
| CCRMAlite | and I installed the hfsprogs utility | 13:48 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | i have installed cairo-dock but i am not getting it working | 13:48 |
| iJoh | CCRMAlite: At least, that's what I've tried | 13:48 |
| calaveraDeluxe | hi all, i have | 13:48 |
| calaveraDeluxe | oops | 13:49 |
| maxbaldwin | or the Alpha I think. | 13:49 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | i did its settings | 13:49 |
| toader | jrib: My case is: I ssh to server 1, then server 1 need to ftp upload file to server 2. Now I disconnect to server1, how to make server1 continue to upload files to server2. But Screen seems not be able to achieve this. | 13:49 |
| NooKia | pasted from DW 2009-01-16 NEW • Development Release: Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 3 | 13:49 |
| jrib | toader: screen can do that. What did you try? | 13:49 |
| LeChacal | jrib: yes because i have another script that uses timestamping and since i cant use an option to just turn it off i need two versions | 13:49 |
| CCRMAlite | iJoh I don't know of anyway of using disk utility to convert fat32 to HFS+ | 13:49 |
| NooKia | its a development RELEASE | 13:50 |
| CCRMAlite | not without erasing data on the volume | 13:50 |
| toader | jrib: so, I issue screen command on my computer, or on server1? | 13:50 |
| jrib | LeChacal: you may not want to put the new wget binary in /usr/local/bin/ since then it will be preferred to the "standard" one and some programs may need the timestamping | 13:50 |
| iJoh | CCRMAlite: Yes, you'll lose everything on the FAT32 because you're going to format it again, into HFS+ | 13:50 |
| maxbaldwin | Nookia: go to #ubuntu+1 and discuss it. This is for 8.10 only. | 13:50 |
| CCRMAlite | no iJoh I mean on the volume | 13:50 |
| CCRMAlite | I have a seperate partition on the same volume | 13:51 |
| baz | every mail server tutorial integrates with MySQL but someone in this channel the other day highly suggested against using MySQL as a store for email... what are people's general thoughts on this? does it add an unnecessarily complex dependency for little reward, or is it fine to use MySQL for the store? | 13:51 |
| jrib | toader: you ssh, you run screen, you do whatever you need to do with ftp, you disconnect. Screen stays running and you can even ssh back and reattach the screen later if you want with 'screen -r' | 13:51 |
| CCRMAlite | there is a fat32 partition and an ms-dos partition with windows files | 13:51 |
| LeChacal | jrib: ok thank you | 13:51 |
| CCRMAlite | I don't want to lose my windows files | 13:51 |
| maxbaldwin | CCRMAlite: then back them up to a server, USB, or a CD or something. | 13:51 |
| CCRMAlite | using disk utility I would have to change my 'volume scheme' | 13:52 |
| CCRMAlite | this external IS my backup lol | 13:52 |
| iJoh | hmm, maybe it's a while since I've tried disk utility then :o | 13:52 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | ? | 13:52 |
| toader | jrib: ok, thanks. I will try | 13:52 |
| CCRMAlite | I could potentially back up the windows files but I was trying to avoid it | 13:53 |
| maxbaldwin | you should always back up files. :\ | 13:53 |
| iJoh | CCRMAlite, but I tried creating an HFS+ partition once (tried OSx86 project) by formating a FAT32 into HFS+ on my HDD - Which also contained a windows partition. I did not break anything | 13:53 |
| ikonia | NooKia: please stop discussing it here | 13:53 |
| ikonia | NooKia: I won't ask again | 13:53 |
| calaveraDeluxe | hi all, i have trouble connecting to my airport express, it worked flawlessly the last few month, and today it just stoped working. it asked me for the password, i retyped and it didn't work. i removed the protection, now it can connect but all i can do send out one ping, after that i do not get any response whatsoever. could someone point me to where to start looking? | 13:53 |
| CCRMAlite | it would be exceptionally nice if there were a way to re-partition, keep the data, and be compatible between windows, mac, and linux. | 13:54 |
| badserii | Hi. How to make such that all files created by a user to be of speciffic permissions. Thank you! | 13:55 |
| CCRMAlite | yeah I managed to do that with a sony vaio umpc but I can't remember how | 13:55 |
| CCRMAlite | I think it was because it was a special type of os x install | 13:55 |
| CCRMAlite | maybe if I can find that disc I'll be able to do it with that | 13:55 |
| user___ | badserii: file from the past of the future? | 13:55 |
| jrib | badserii: set the umask you want | 13:56 |
| jrib | badserii: though user___ asks a good question you should answer | 13:56 |
| iJoh | CCRMAlite, a patched OS X install? | 13:56 |
| CCRMAlite | yeah | 13:56 |
| badserii | user___: from future | 13:56 |
| CCRMAlite | sorta | 13:56 |
| user___ | badserii: so jrib was 100% correct :-) | 13:56 |
| CCRMAlite | it has to do with bridging the gap between PPC and intel | 13:57 |
| CCRMAlite | the basis of the osx86 project | 13:57 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, it keeps telling me i dont have defined a root filesystem but thats the raid array | 13:57 |
| badserii | user___ , jrib:Thank you! | 13:57 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: have you made a / file system mount point on the raid array ? | 13:57 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, cannot seem to tell it the muntpoint of the raid array | 13:57 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: your using the alternative cD to install yes ? | 13:57 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, nope i cannot fidn where to do that | 13:57 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: your using the alternative CD to install yes ? | 13:58 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, server | 13:58 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, (server also supports soft raid) | 13:59 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: so you've made multiple partitions in the partitioner, and then made a device (say md0) across those devices, yes/no | 13:59 |
| === patrik__ is now known as patrik | ||
| Ward1983 | ikonia, yep | 13:59 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, oops i mean yes :p | 13:59 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: so in that same menu you should be able to mark /dev/md0 as say / file system | 13:59 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, ok then i just nee to look better :p thanx | 14:00 |
| tvgv | how do i add keys through terminal | 14:00 |

| mattgriffin | when i set the Login Window to automatically log me in, i get a window to auth my keychain. there isn't a "remember" option. is there a way to get it to remember my keychain password. i think it prompts me b/c it needs it to log into my wifi connection at home. thanks. | 14:02 |
| iJoh | CCRMAlite, I uncovered some more. Seems HFS+ must be at the end of a volume | 14:02 |
| clarks | anyone know about evolution mail? | 14:03 |
| scunizi | mattgriffin, is this machine accessable by anyone else? | 14:03 |

| maxbaldwin | clarks: lots of people do. what do you need? | 14:03 |
| mattgriffin | scunizi: i'm the only user | 14:03 |
| whileimhere | Is there an easy way to take about 100 files and make the file names all lower case? | 14:03 |
| scunizi | mattgriffin, 'cause you realize that doing that is a security risk? | 14:03 |
| quibbler | Stalker72, right click on panel add menu bar | 14:04 |

| tvgv | matt griffin from shepp | 14:04 |
| unop | mattgriffin, set a blank passphrase for the keychain - it seems to be the only solution | 14:04 |
| mattgriffin | scunizi: yeah. i'm willing to take the risk. this is just a play computer (dell mini) at my home. | 14:04 |
| Stalker72 | quibbler: thanks | 14:04 |
| bhaskark | hi, just now i updated my system to 8.10, but my System freezes before login screen, any help?? btw i removed compiz and compiz-core | 14:04 |

| clarks | maxbaldwin, you know? | 14:05 |
| scunizi | mattgriffin, System>Admin>Login Window should have the option to do that. | 14:05 |
| mattgriffin | tvgv: in chicago | 14:05 |
| mattgriffin | scunizi: awesome. thanks. | 14:05 |

| yakuz | I installed ubuntu and then created a partion to install win xp on. Then xp always booted but I fixed it so now Grub is booting. And I added xp in the menu.lst file but when I try to boot from it I get -Error13: invalid or unsupported executable format. I think it might be that I said the xp to be hd0,0 but I think that is where my ubuntu ext3 partion is. How can I see which my ntfs partion is? | 14:06 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, no ill probably manage just fine :) | 14:06 |
| scunizi | mattgriffin, np, yw | 14:06 |
| maxbaldwin | I dunno... I don't use evolution, but I guess if you get msn there's an email package for that. | 14:06 |
| ugliefrog | is compiz bad? | 14:06 |
| maxbaldwin | no | 14:06 |
| maxbaldwin | not at all | 14:06 |
| tvgv | uglie i dont know i just installed | 14:06 |
| tvgv | cant activate | 14:07 |
| scunizi | ugliefrog, sometimes it behaves badly and you have to give it a timeout | 14:07 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, if i get it to work ill send you some usefull screenshots or movies of the process so you can add them in your manual if you feel like it | 14:07 |
| tvgv | ikonia have u got vids for this stuff it would be a real help | 14:07 |
| ugliefrog | k whew just turned it on see what it does all ive noticed is the windows when u drag them | 14:07 |
| ugliefrog | i c | 14:08 |
| scunizi | yakuz, sudo fdisk -l will show all your partitions | 14:08 |
| Ranakah | how can i change path where is wtmp file? | 14:08 |

| tvgv | UGS how u turn on mate | 14:08 |
| scunizi | yakuz, but remember that sda2 for grub is really hd(0,1) | 14:08 |
| ugliefrog | under system go to apperance | 14:08 |

| kertak | hi | 14:11 |
| quibbler | simo_, yes | 14:11 |
| whocares | still Have problem with sound | 14:11 |
| pipegeek_ | How does uname determine your hostname? What it's reporting (localhost.localdomain) is not what's in /etc/hostname, or what's returned by 'hostname'. | 14:11 |
| scunizi | tvgv, if you want to find the package name then you could apt-cache search <package>, otherwise it's easier to use synaptic to search for the two different ccsm's | 14:11 |
| pipegeek_ | ever since I upgraded to intrepid. | 14:11 |
| unop | pipegeek, hostname --fqdn #perhaps | 14:12 |
| simo_ | quibbler, great man- can you please help me? | 14:12 |
| kertak | exit | 14:12 |
| quibbler | simo_, what is the problem? | 14:12 |
| yakuz | scunizi: thanks for the command. I only have one hdd so it's always hd0,0 ? or is hd0,1 another partion etc? This is my menu.lst http://pastebin.com/d192f52ce | 14:12 |
| tvgv | scunizi my problem is the gaps mate here i need videos sent for this stuff | 14:12 |
| tvgv | im going crazy | 14:13 |
| simo_ | in the past i used ubuntu and it was very easy to move around cursors in gnome panel | 14:13 |
| yakuz | scunizi: and this is what I get from fdisk -l http://pastebin.com/d6514bec6 | 14:13 |
| pipegeek_ | unop, thx | 14:13 |
| simo_ | prob with xubuntu is that i cannot put icons in panels wherever i want | 14:13 |
| leinad_ | Hi there, is there any distro that still support php4 (i does not want to compile apache by myself with php4 support - need distro with packages) ???? | 14:13 |

| Jampiter | Hi | 14:14 |
| quibbler | simo_, right clicking you can't choose move? | 14:14 |
| Stalker72 | Is there a way to make everything in (K)ubuntu run with GStreamer? My speakers don't work with anything else than OSS. | 14:14 |
| yakuz | scunizi: so I should write (hd0,1) ? | 14:14 |
| unop | oholiab, i've given him a couple of suggestions already | 14:14 |
| Jampiter | How do I change the computer name? I mis-spelt it ¬¬ | 14:14 |
| unop | !hostname | Jampiter | 14:14 |
| ubottu | Jampiter: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab | 14:14 |
| scunizi | yakuz, with one drive it will always be known as sda<something>... the <something> represents the partition. grub starts counting at 0 (zero), so the first partiiton on the drive would be sda1 or hd(0,0), the second would be sda2 or hd(0,1), etc. | 14:14 |
| Jampiter | Thanks unop :) | 14:15 |
| simo_ | quibbler, I did but it wont place the icon whereever i please, it will stack it on the left | 14:15 |
| simo_ | basically it stacked one icon after another | 14:15 |
| elostio | leinad php4 is supported until 6.10 | 14:15 |
| whocares | My sound from cd Plays but system sounds dont | 14:15 |
| yakuz | scunizi: ah okey. then it's not strange that I get an error. sda2 is my ntfs partion so I will replace it with hd0,1 in the menu.lst | 14:15 |
| yakuz | going tro try it now | 14:15 |
| === nutella is now known as adac | ||
| whocares | and the web site dont work either | 14:16 |
| whocares | my cd playes with rythem box | 14:16 |
| quibbler | simo_, if you add a new icon it may go to the left but normally if you then right click choose move then move your mouse it should move for you | 14:16 |
| scunizi | yakuz, might work. typically it's much easier to install windows first then ubuntu and you'll avoid this mess.. windows really likes to be the first thing on the drive (install order as well as location on the harddrive) | 14:16 |
| simo_ | quibbler, Yea I know at least thats what i use to do in ubuntu and it worked | 14:17 |
| scunizi | tvgv, so you want to install ccsm? from the terminal? easier to go to System>Admin>Synaptic Package Manager | 14:18 |

| Jack_Sparrow | thadthudpucker, sudo or gksudo | 14:33 |
| bazhang | calaveraDeluxe, its just a plug; unplug, wait one minute or so, then replug | 14:33 |
| thadthudpucker | i know sudo, but i am flummoxed on the proper command to get everything in there | 14:33 |
| bthompson | is there a keybody shortcut to minimize all windows at once.. | 14:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thadthudpucker, If you must.. use the very dangerous command gksudo nautilus then exit that file manager asap | 14:34 |
| atlef | Jack_Sparrow: thank you for the ccsm tip | 14:34 |

| Jack_Sparrow | bthompson, isnt there an icon bottom left to show desktop | 14:34 |
| calaveraDeluxe | bazhang: its an onboard chip ;) i'm sorry if i didn't make that clear, my english isn't perfect... | 14:34 |
| scunizi | Jack_Sparrow, for info purposes, at terminal how would you move a directory and all it's contents (doesn't matter if sudo or not) just curious? | 14:35 |
| bthompson | jrib, i tried that didn't see an option to minimize all windows on screen..in windows it is windows key and M | 14:35 |
| bazhang | calaveraDeluxe, airport express? | 14:35 |
| jrib | bthompson: it's probably referred to as "show desktop" | 14:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | scunizi, -R for folder and all folders inside but man mv for details.. Still waiting for first cup of coffee to brew so I can wake up :) | 14:36 |

| jordi_ | i've got 2 ubuntu computers at home: 1 is an apache webserver, and the other one my personal computer. in the router i set up the port 80 to redirect to the server. This is fine from outsite home, but when i want to visit my website from my personal computer, it keeps sending me to the router website. how can i work around this? | 14:37 |
| calaveraDeluxe | oh, my bad :) you mean the ape, already tried that... didn't help | 14:37 |
| tvgv | jack sparrow>well i selected it and nothing really happened butmy pages burning up lol | 14:37 |
| chilli0 | Avm stays on top of my windows, and i have set it to go under them | 14:37 |
| scunizi | jordi_, use the internal ip | 14:37 |
| Boohbah | jordi_: place an entry in your hosts file | 14:37 |
| jordi_ | it doesn't work either, and that's the strange thing, it also sends me to the router website | 14:38 |
| ugliefrog | man there is alot of settings in compiz i had no idea | 14:38 |
| jordi_ | and i have nothing in my /etc/hosts that tells the browser to do so | 14:38 |
| thadthudpucker | Jack_Sparrow: Thank you cap'n I had bee trying to do this for about 3 hours (intersparsed with other things.) | 14:38 |
| chilli0 | Avm stays on top of my windows, and i have set it to go under them | 14:38 |
| Boohbah | jordi_: "192.168.1.6 my.web.server" | 14:38 |
| scunizi | jordi_, how do you mean the "router web site" .. you only have one on the server | 14:38 |
| bazhang | chilli0, you mean awn? | 14:38 |
| bthompson | i just tried to assign windows an M key and it made all screen grey and black for the background..is that some kind of key to alter desktop | 14:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thadthudpucker, no, please use that with extreme caution.. it is not forgiving | 14:39 |
| chilli0 | bazhang: i mean awn avant windows manager | 14:39 |
| jordi_ | Boohbah: if i do that, it also redirects me to the administration interface of the router | 14:39 |
| thadthudpucker | I did what i needed and exited, i shall save that for only when i am absolutely sure what i am doing. | 14:39 |
| jordi_ | scunzi: only one website, yes, but it's the administration router's website i'm pointed to | 14:39 |

| solexious | Hello, I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#Networking and got it working, but now on the gnome networking manager eth0 is grayed out as device is unmanaged, how can I fix this? | 15:14 |

| Ward1983 | ikonia, erm if i leave 1gb at the end i cannot use it as swap partition its "unusable" | 15:15 |
| solexious | scunizi, Jack_Sparrow, Oh, sorry I thought it was a ubuntu thing being network manager, thanks | 15:15 |

| Jack_Sparrow | solexious, It was simple to enable, but dont remember how. I got the answer in vbox | 15:16 |
| ross_t | matt__, The laptop has finally booted up in safe graphics mode. Desktop is displayed fine but just really small. | 15:16 |
| scunizi | solexious, networking is pretty automatic on my vbox install.. nothing extra I really needed to do. | 15:17 |
| solexious | Jack_Sparrow, Thanks, ive asked them | 15:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | solexious, They are slow like me, but they will answer in a bit | 15:17 |
| ross_t | I guess I can go ahead and install then edit a config file, any pointers to what file needs edited? | 15:17 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, actually im gonan give up lol, KVM keeps crashing on me | 15:18 |

| ugliefrog | how do i update blender in the terminal? | 15:19 |
| scunizi | Jack_Sparrow, addons ..? where do you see that? | 15:19 |
| Ward1983 | Jack_Sparrow, do you mean guest additions? | 15:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | scunizi, additions. | 15:20 |
| jrib | ugliefrog: sudo apt-get install blender | 15:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | scunizi, Sorry, Im still with our chinese friend in pm.. :) | 15:21 |
| scunizi | Jack_Sparrow, that helps screen writes, mouse actions and makes the program more seemless. | 15:21 |
| ugliefrog | it will copy over it | 15:21 |
| jrib | ugliefrog: what? | 15:21 |
| Ward1983 | Jack_Sparrow, they make a guest aware of vbox, for instance it will scale the resolution to the size of your window (evne when you resize it) | 15:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | scunizi, cool, thanks.. | 15:21 |
| Ward1983 | Jack_Sparrow, it generally makes life easyer, mouse is not even integrated without them | 15:21 |
| ugliefrog | i need to update blende.. i was wandering if i could do it in the terminal with a sudo something | 15:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ward1983, Yea, got that, much nicer | 15:22 |
| usr13 | vigo: Dont come up with anything doing search for adobe | 15:22 |
| vigo | usr13: Are you on Synaptic: All ? | 15:22 |
| scunizi | Jack_Sparrow, you should also install DKMS to help vbox maintain the kernel driver on kernel upgrades | 15:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ugliefrog, Do you mean a newer version than our repos? | 15:23 |
| toader | hi, where to find the DNS setting in Ubuntu? | 15:23 |
| ugliefrog | yes yes | 15:23 |
| jrib | ugliefrog: the command I gave you will update blender to the latest version in the repositories | 15:23 |

| Silverwing | Narkotik, what do you want to change | 15:40 |

| oCean_ | usr13: this way I cannot see if the link is valid. So you should check the /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin (this is also a link to (most likely) the 'actual' .so file) Can you check that? | 15:45 |
| andrew_ | portz: do you have "unrar"? | 15:45 |
| portz | Nope. I thought Archive Manager would have supported rar by default. | 15:46 |

| shams | can you tell me that which is more power? 'Athlon le-1620' or 'sempron 64 2800' | 16:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Newfie_rich, yes | 16:43 |
| Newfie_rich | Jack_Sparrow: yeah it was already off.. | 16:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tvgv, go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set them to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mous | 16:43 |
| funkyHat | Jack_Sparrow: I think that could be the problem, I was lazy and just left the old thermal paste on. hope i haven't done any permanent damage (if that is the issue) | 16:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Newfie_rich, then you dont have your video drivers installed and you are running under vesa mode..generic video mode | 16:44 |
| ProjectShadow | hello?> | 16:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | funkyHat, Bad boy.. never do that | 16:44 |
| Newfie_rich | Jack_Sparrow: that could be it, I will see if I can get a better video driver | 16:45 |

| ProjectShadow | Is there any way to get Flash 9 on Ubuntu 8.10? | 16:45 |

| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 16:45 |
| deany | i "may" turn effects on now i got wine full screen apps displaying properly... | 16:45 |
| ProjectShadow | Jack_Sparrow, that's only flash 10 | 16:45 |
| ProjectShadow | I need flash 9 | 16:46 |
| jrib | ProjectShadow: umm, you don't want 10? | 16:46 |
| ProjectShadow | jrib nope | 16:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ProjectShadow, What version of ubuntu | 16:46 |
| ProjectShadow | 8.10 | 16:46 |
| deany | is there a way to rotate cube without key combo? i wanna left click mouse and drag desktop... and not draw a selection box | 16:46 |
| jrib | ProjectShadow: don't install any flash from the repositories. Download the tar.gz from adobe. copy libflashplayer.so into ~/.mozilla/plugins/ and restart firefox | 16:46 |
| ProjectShadow | jrib: you can get flash 9 from them still? | 16:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deany, point to background and roll the wheel | 16:47 |
| ProjectShadow | jrib: Flash 10's security is to high and it won't load clubpenguin | 16:47 |
| jrib | ProjectShadow: no idea. the tar.gz should be somewhere | 16:47 |
| deany | that`ll rotate it cube or just flick across ? | 16:47 |
| cwillu | deany, desktop is just a nautilus window. In principle, it's possible to do what you want, but there's no configuration option, you'd have to go in and modify the source code, and so forth | 16:47 |
| shams | do you suggest ubuntu for server use? if yes can you please tell me your reasons? | 16:47 |
| deany | oh ok then | 16:48 |
| cwillu | shams: "why not?" | 16:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deany, I keep a bit of desktop showing around my windows just for that purpose | 16:48 |
| funkyHat | There's a perfectly ciruclar hole in the top of the CPU *looks for a picture to see if this is normal* | 16:48 |
| jabagawee | uh oh | 16:49 |
| shams | cwillu: reason? | 16:49 |
| deany | Jack_Sparrow: true.. no point having advanced effects on then, normal will do that much | 16:49 |
| cwillu | shams, "because I want to" | 16:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | funkyHat, That does not sound good.. | 16:49 |
| funkyHat | Yes it is, that's good I guess | 16:49 |
| jabagawee | eth0 refuses to auto up at the command of network-manager, how do i troubleshoot? | 16:49 |
| cwillu | shams, why are you asking the question? (serious question, there's so many possible uses for 'server' that without knowing the context, it's impossible to give a useful answer) | 16:49 |
| funkyHat | Jack_Sparrow: http://techreport.com/r.x/pentium4-2.53/p4-2.53-top.jpg just like that, only gummed up with paste | 16:50 |

| Svish|Laptop | can anyone suggest a good ubuntu friendly alternative to DVD Shrink? | 17:34 |
| para | Ward1983: nothing happens, and ifconfig only shows the lo interface after that. when I try ifup eth0, it appears there, but doesn't have an ip | 17:34 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: "ip route add default via 192.168.0.2" ? | 17:34 |
| Ward1983 | para, you use DHCP ? | 17:34 |
| para | yep | 17:34 |
| Ward1983 | para, sudo dhclient eth0 | 17:34 |
| n8tuser | Ward1983 -> single user mode does not have networking enabled | 17:34 |
| mirak | hi | 17:35 |
| Ward1983 | n8tuser, thanx, para what n8tuser said | 17:35 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: isn't that going to bump me off the net? If all packets end up on my laptop instead of at freenode? | 17:35 |
| atlef | AETE_KRAUUD: never heard of bubuntu:-) | 17:35 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: in any case, `ip route add default via 192.168.0.2' says "RTNETLINK answers: File exists" | 17:35 |
| para | Ward1983: actually, that worked. thanks. I wonder why it doesn't do dhcp in the networking script though | 17:35 |
| Ward1983 | n8tuser, but its possible to enable networking i guess? since he can up his interface | 17:35 |
| n8tuser | jonaskoelker -> it shouldnt, you are only telling that to get to 192.168.0.0 subnet is via that 192.168.0.2 | 17:35 |
| p0l0na1s3 | hello i am trying to understand how to use iwconfig. iwlist wlan0 scan shows my network in cell 01. | 17:35 |

| Hovefirse | Hiya folks. I have an Ubuntu-installation (Hardy) on a server, running in command line mode. Many different sites have stated that 3-5G should be enough for the partition Ubuntu is installed on. I decided to play it safe, and gave it 10G. Now 9.2G are ocupied, and theres only a few hundred Megs left. /home recides on another partition. Where and how should I check where the space has gone? | 17:39 |
| Ward1983 | para, so i actually said just what you said.... | 17:40 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: doesn't the delivery of broadcast traffic argue against the cable being b0rked? | 17:40 |
| oscar | hey do someone know how can I play the rmvb files in ubuntu hardy with gnome? totem doesn't find any proper codec for it....or is there any way to convert these king of files to avi, mpg, etc..? | 17:40 |
| Tweak | question : If I have grub installed to multiboot ubuntu as well as windows xp, if I install Vista (or whatever) on a seperate partition will that OS override grub or will grub recognize it? | 17:40 |
| Suprano | on my /boot partition is nearly no space left (2.3mb) which is a problem because i can't update the kernel now. i also can't remove existing kernels because dpkg first wants to complete the installation of the new kernel which fails (gzip: no space left) | 17:40 |
| GaMbi2k_ | OK.. Looks like no one in here knows any OCR programs.. so, anyone knows where to ask? :) | 17:40 |

| GaMbi2k_ | -_- never mind then.... | 17:41 |

| Tweak | check in the add/remove programs | 17:42 |
| n8tuser | mirak -> my preference is tomcat | 17:42 |

| tvgv | im bloody flame king anyone know of some goodflame screensavers | 17:42 |
| GaMbi2k_ | If I wanted to find a program for hire or filed with bugs I could use Google.. so guess why Im askin here? :) | 17:42 |
| para | nt8user: /usr/bin/service comes from sysvinit-utils, that's one of the core packages isn't it | 17:43 |
| mirak | n8tuser: yes but I don't want to design a site | 17:43 |
| jrib | GaMbi2k_: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 17:43 |
| n8tuser | mirak -> you dont need to design a site, you just have to configure the webapp server to serve your contents | 17:43 |
| mirak | n8tuser: I just want to make accessible files on my harddrive on the web through my computer ip. in a presentable way | 17:43 |
| n8tuser | mirak -> what the heck is presentable way to you meant? | 17:44 |
| mirak | n8tuser: ok, but can it handle acounts, rights and such ? | 17:44 |

| mirak | n8tuser: well, I could use ~/public_html of apache in my home, it works, I can use links to my files to organise content, or use .htacces to handle the authorisations, but that's really not pretty and practical | 17:45 |
| n8tuser | para -> i dont know, unless one installs the sysv-utils ? | 17:46 |

| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: wtf, now they don't talk together | 17:46 |
| Suprano | can i get ubuntu to remove the older kernel when installing a new one? | 17:46 |
| n8tuser | mirak -> you have to design and carefully think what you want done, doing an adhoc questioning here will not solve your issues, you have to spend time designing it | 17:46 |
| mirak | n8tuser: I read things about drupal, but this is probably too heavy. and I am not sure I can serve my files from the /home and not them stored in the database | 17:46 |

| MrWindex | chmod u+rw -R <directory> | 18:07 |
| tvgv | my cubes gone | 18:07 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: they seem fine | 18:07 |
| gogoodguy | gnutron: so go back to windows defrag it, resize the partition to half the drive then go back here and try it again? | 18:07 |
| joe_- | MrWindex: chmod -R u+rw <dir> | 18:07 |
| thadthudpucker | gogoodguy: I'd say just use a different HDD | 18:07 |
| gogoodguy | gnutron: i do have viruses on the hd but none are too serious | 18:07 |
| hajmola | xine tells me I can't play a dvd because of region code. Is there a way I can turn this off? It's a legit dvd I bought on a trip | 18:07 |

| spasticteapot | Whenever I run Rhythmbox under Ubuntu, I get this error message: Gtk-WARNING **: AudioCdSourcePopupCopyCd: missing action MusicAudioCDDuplicate | 18:07 |
| spasticteapot | Does anyone know what's causing this? | 18:07 |
| mirak | n8tuser: no but on facebook, pickasa or youtube, for exemple you can share and organise content without coding anything. What I want is the same but on my computer, to organise my content. | 18:07 |
| thadthudpucker | gogoodguy: that way you can leave you XP for "just in case" | 18:08 |
| gogoodguy | thadthudpucker: not going to appen dont have another one | 18:08 |
| mirak | n8tuser: and make it available | 18:08 |
| MrWindex | joe: thank you for your help. it still won't let me in to view it in the graphical interface though | 18:08 |
| joe_- | MrWindex: No problem. Whats the folder? Something you made? | 18:08 |
| allsystemsarego | mirak, install drupal | 18:08 |
| chrisdone | anyone know of a program that runs in the background and produces statistics about your typing speed, accuracy, etc.? | 18:08 |
| MrWindex | joe: yeah, I copied it from my windows partition | 18:08 |
| gogoodguy | tvgv id suggest you go find a tutorial. | 18:08 |
| thadthudpucker | gogoodguy: what is the size of the HDD? | 18:08 |
| hajmola | anyone know how to get xine to play another region dvd? | 18:08 |
| joe_- | MrWindex: Try this, for testing. chmod -R 775 <dir> | 18:08 |
| gogoodguy | 320 i belive thadthudpucker | 18:09 |
| MrWindex | joe: if it's relevent it's now highlighted in green in the shell | 18:09 |
| thadthudpucker | hajmola: region is encoded in the drive itself | 18:09 |
| iiro | is there any easy way to update to 8.10 version from insaid a earlyer version of Ubuntu, or should I just reinstall over last OS? I donät have much t lose here so I can just clean the root partition without worries. | 18:09 |
| joe_- | MrWindex: Try closing the GUI window and reopening it. | 18:09 |
| hajmola | thadthudpucker, is there anyway around that? | 18:09 |
| mirak | allsystemsarego: It seemed to be what I wanted, however can it serve files from my /home , or are they necessarily stored in the database ? | 18:09 |
| chrisdone | iiro: there is a way to do that, let me get the link for you | 18:09 |
| MrWindex | joe: that fixed it | 18:09 |
| MrWindex | joe: the 775 | 18:09 |
| joe_- | iiro: I believe theres a flag for apt-get to do that | 18:09 |
| joe_- | MrWindex: Awesome. | 18:09 |
| gogoodguy | Im rebooting be back latter | 18:09 |
| boscoslife | i have a laptop and it keeps saying PXE Media test failure when i try and boot how hard is it to fix | 18:09 |
| joe_- | MrWindex: Read up on permissions, its pretty neat stuff the whole octal thing. | 18:10 |
| allsystemsarego | mirak, you make it show files in /var/www if you like | 18:10 |
| chrisdone | iiro: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 18:10 |
| MrWindex | joe: thank you very much!! that was frustrating. what's the difference between 775 and u+r | 18:10 |
| thadthudpucker | hajmola: I would say resize the ntfs to current +about 5 gb, ext3 to 85% of remaining and the other 15% left over (of the remainder) make that swap | 18:10 |
| iiro | chrisdone: Thank you. | 18:10 |
| dundel | .. | 18:10 |
| MrWindex | joe: I know it's octal but how come the letters didn't work? | 18:10 |
| MrWindex | joe: yeah I'm going to have to learn about them | 18:10 |
| joe_- | MrWindex: 775 says "Everyone can read, write. Owner can execute and group can execute" | 18:10 |
| hajmola | thadthudpucker, are you sure that message was for me? | 18:11 |
| n8tuser | Joe_ -> then its your /etc/network/interfaces file you configure to do this auto connect at boot | 18:11 |
| iiro | for some reason I could not be able to open partition manager with 8.10 install CD. | 18:11 |
| thadthudpucker | hajmola: ha, sorry, no... | 18:11 |
| MrWindex | joe: thanks man | 18:11 |
| joe_- | MrWindex: No problem. | 18:11 |
| joe_- | n8tuser: What do I have to do in there? | 18:11 |
| n8tuser | Joe_ -> man interfaces, man iwconfig | 18:12 |
| joe_- | Aww. | 18:12 |
| thadthudpucker | hajmola: in windows, i know it is possible to change the region setting of the drive | 18:12 |
| qqx | how do you download flash videos and convert them to other formats in ubuntu? | 18:12 |
| hajmola | thadthudpucker, so, i have to flash the drive's firmware or something? | 18:12 |
| joe_- | n8tuser: Thing is, Ubuntu sees the network and goes "Yeah I know that!" but has to get permission to connect. | 18:12 |
| thadthudpucker | hajmola: that i am not sure of | 18:12 |
| n8tuser | mirak -> ahh it is called content management system - CMS there are plenty out there, but the baseline is still you require a web-app server, like tomcat | 18:12 |
| thadthudpucker | hajmola: as far as doing it ubuntu, i do not know. Maybe acquire another dvd drive (they are a dime a dozen these days) and reset the region, if you regularly play different region dvd's | 18:13 |
| n8tuser | Joe_ -> there are tutorials on how to get ubuntu to boot with wpa2 activated | 18:13 |
| joe_- | n8tuser: Okay, I'll try looking around and see what I can do. | 18:13 |
| iiro | I'm realy getting to like this OS a lot after two years fighting with Gentoo | 18:13 |
| mirak | n8tuser: yes lol, I never doubted that it needed webserver. so ok we misunderstood. | 18:13 |
| hajmola | thadthudpucker, are there region-free dvd drives? | 18:13 |
| iiro | this looks like working :P | 18:13 |
| joe_- | iiro: Amen to that. | 18:13 |
| thadthudpucker | hajmola: alas, that i do not know. | 18:14 |
| mirak | n8tuser: so ok I will google the web with the term cms | 18:14 |
| _doug | question: how does Ubunti handle remote update | 18:14 |
| mirak | n8tuser: and see what is available. I installed drupal though and will try what it can do | 18:14 |
| joe_- | _doug: What do you mean? | 18:14 |
| n8tuser | mirak -> you dont believe it requires a webapp server? drupal does not just run native on any os, it requires a web-app server | 18:14 |
| iiro | joe_-: tho there is realy much t learn for me as I have used to do thisngs with Gentoo. | 18:14 |
| iiro | sorry not realy for this channel | 18:14 |
| qqx | how do you download flash videos and convert them to other formats in ubuntu? | 18:14 |
| _doug | LIke, lets say I have 20 client Ubuntu desktops, can I update them from a central server? | 18:15 |
| gsuveg | the gnome-power-manager is kill me :( | 18:15 |
| joe_- | iiro: I came from Fedora and some RHEL, wasnt terribly good at it but I like Ubuntu better. | 18:15 |
| joe_- | _doug: You can. But you'd have to setup a repo. | 18:15 |
| _doug | yea, I figure, but it is doable yea ? | 18:15 |
| thadthudpucker | is there a differnt channel to ask about Skype on Ubuntu? | 18:15 |
| iiro | is there a channel for crap-talking about ubuntu, afaik this is a support channel right? | 18:15 |
| joe_- | _doug: Of course. You setup a repo on a main server, then on the boxes you add that repo. | 18:16 |
| ConstantineXVI | qqx, there should be firefox extensions to download. converting can be done via VLC. | 18:16 |
| _doug | someone was going on about Windows amazing group policy tools :) | 18:16 |
| joe_- | iiro: lol. what problems are you having? | 18:16 |
| n8tuser | _doug -> you can tailor your LDAP system with your server to provide such services | 18:16 |
| ConstantineXVI | iiro, #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:16 |

| PokerFacePenguin | qqx: which is really just a front end to ffmpeg | 18:17 |
| iiro | joe_-: not realy nothing I just don't wish to disturb this cannel as this channel is minely ment to be for sloving broblems with Ubintu. | 18:17 |
| Claire2009 | can someone help me with DVD play back in ubuntu 8.04? | 18:17 |
| joe_- | _doug: Yeah, our syadmin at work does the dumbest things for something simple like, static IP. We had a good chuckle. He's all windows. | 18:17 |
| iiro | ConstantineXVI: thanks | 18:17 |
| thadthudpucker | gogoodguy: the best way i know of offhand is the partition manager in the ubuntu setup :) | 18:17 |
| gogoodguy | Claire2009: get xine, get the dvd support files and your done | 18:17 |
| _doug | I'll go look it up, I was an openSuSE user up to recently, Ubuntu is fairly now to me .. | 18:17 |
| Claire2009 | gogodguy - how do you i do that? | 18:17 |
| gogoodguy | Ah man..... Could have told me that | 18:17 |
| _doug | 'new' | 18:17 |
| qqx | winff no such package | 18:17 |
| arno-t | Hi I can access a share with nautilus smb://sharename, but cannot mount it with cifs. That is, the mount command exits cleanly and mount shows the share mounted, but there are no visible files. I can create files on the share, but they become invisible... Suggestions? | 18:17 |
| thadthudpucker | gogoodguy: :) you left before i could! | 18:18 |
| gnutron | gogoodguy: administration tools unless its xp home which doesnt have it. | 18:18 |
| joe_- | arno-t: Sounds like a problem with the server kindof. | 18:18 |
| hoboman | is anyone able to discuss with me, possibilities about sound quality in linux being lossy when compared to the same equptment used to play the same files on a windows boot? is it perhaps the mp3 decoder? | 18:18 |
| PokerFacePenguin | qqx: google it | 18:18 |
| ConstantineXVI | Claire2009, install this package: http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/free/libd/libdvdcss/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-2medibuntu4_i386.deb | 18:18 |
| hoboman | i've noticed rhythymbox has no eq. | 18:18 |
| gogoodguy | thadthudpucker: well maby not... The ubuntu installer couldent break it so how can that | 18:18 |
| joe_- | hoboman: Most likely. | 18:18 |
| tails1 | hey someone was asking about editing xorg.conf, right? sudo gedit/etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:18 |
| thadthudpucker | gogoodguy: hmm... | 18:18 |
| qqx | ill just use VLC | 18:18 |
| gogoodguy | gnutron: im in that but i dont see anything in the drive administer to change the size | 18:18 |
| Slart | tails1: never use sudo with gui stuff.. | 18:18 |
| Claire2009 | constantineXVI - how do i install that via terminal? | 18:19 |
| Slart | !gksudo | tails1 | 18:19 |
| ubottu | tails1: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 18:19 |
| ConstantineXVI | Claire2009, and if you havent already, also install ubuntu restricted extras from add/remove | 18:19 |
| arno-t | Joe_, yes for now i open nautilus and copy the files in "gui mode". But I'd like to mount it to be able to rsync to it instead... | 18:19 |
| _doug | joe: teach them scripting !! | 18:19 |
| ConstantineXVI | Claire2009, don't need to. just double-click it | 18:19 |
| tails1 | oh. so gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf , then? | 18:19 |
| joe_- | _doug: Haha. | 18:19 |
| qqx | or can i, PokerFacePenguin ? | 18:19 |
| Slart | tails1: much better =) | 18:19 |
| thadthudpucker | Slart: never use sudo with gui - would that be where gksudo comes in? | 18:19 |

| joe_- | hoboman: Tried Rythimbox? | 18:20 |
| thadthudpucker | Slart: ah, i was wondering the difference | 18:20 |
| gnutron | gogoodguy: its there somewhere i havent used it in ages, you could d/l a gparted live cd or use partition magic but xp does have a tool somewhere, i just forget where. | 18:20 |
| solexious_ | Joe_- Yup | 18:20 |
| qqx | thankski | 18:20 |
| Slart | thadthudpucker: I'm not quite sure what it is that gksudo does differently.. but apparently the world might just explode if you use sudo.. or something like that | 18:20 |
| leandroal | I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.10 and it is not detecting the serial mouse... how to solve? | 18:20 |
| hoboman | joe: rythymbox is about all i have tried, it has NO eq btw | 18:20 |
| thadthudpucker | Slart: figures :P | 18:20 |
| joe_- | hoboman: Hmm. Try going to Add/Remove and seeing what else is out there. | 18:20 |
| _doug | joe: I'm on xubuntu with the XFCE, less is more in my opinion ... | 18:20 |

| oCean_ | Shapeshifter: that could be done in your actual homedirectory. Edit the ~/.profile adding a line (before all else) "export HOME=/path/to/newhomedir" | 18:38 |
| bullgard4 | /etc/default/klogd includes the headline: "top configuration file for klogd". All lines are commented out. Why is this file marked as executable? | 18:38 |
| Metatron | that it is repeatedly prompts me for the network key, ive entered it correctly 2 dozen times and it still wont connect | 18:38 |
| jedi06 | gnutron cannot connect to hotmail.com etc etc | 18:38 |
| Metatron | the old ubuntu 8.04 had settings in the network manager diffrent from what 8.1 shows | 18:38 |
| |neon| | xrandr is broke on intrepid, no way that i can configure two different screen other than twin view, can't configure them as separate x screens, any ideas?, any how to on setting this up? | 18:38 |

| yakuz | if I got a usb hdd connected. What should I type to get the name of it? because I installed xp and didn't unmount it properly so ubuntu complains because I didn't do it right in xp. but I have never manually mounted before, just went with the automaticly. | 18:39 |
| gnutron | jedi06: its probably your /etc/hosts file not using an FQDN and hotmail rejects it | 18:39 |
| jedi06 | so i can try a different email then or what | 18:40 |
| jedi06 | what is a FQDN | 18:40 |
| Gerinych | has anyone seen opensuse 11's grub? if so, is it that same one ubuntu uses? | 18:40 |

| |neon| | joe_-: i have a laptop connected to an external LCD, the only way i can get it to work is using twin view which doesn look good because the laptop res is 1440x900 and the lcd is 1900x1200 | 18:40 |
| Agion | how can I install ncurses library? | 18:41 |
| usser_ | |neon|: look into xrandr | 18:41 |
| joe_- | |neon|: Well, I doubt thats xrandr. Sorry though, I can't terribly help you with that. I've been through my own personal hell with the same issue. Haha. | 18:41 |
| gnutron | jedi06: will evolution or thunderbird send ok | 18:41 |
| jake | how do i tell the comp to delete all but a certain file type from a directory? | 18:41 |
| |neon| | joe_-: so you know :) | 18:42 |
| jake | i know rm -r *.mp3 will get rid of all mp3's... how do i delete all APART from mp3's? | 18:42 |
| jedi06 | let me try | 18:42 |
| n8tuser | jake-> look for the option --exclude | 18:42 |
| sysdoc | |neon|, what display driver/vid card are you running? | 18:42 |
| Shapeshifter | oCean_: well, what I'm trying to to is to have _all_ ".dot-files" in /home/shapeshifter/.config instead of /home/shapeshifter/ So if I change my home dir to ~/.config, all the apps will put their stuff there, while I still want to use my /home/shapeshifter as usual for personal files (but all configs should go in .config) | 18:43 |
| jedi06 | 306 mb for evolution | 18:43 |
| Gerinych | has anyone seen opensuse 11's grub? if so, is it that same one ubuntu uses? | 18:43 |
| yakuz | gnutron: hm okey it told me all other info other then that I needed. Do you know how to force mount? | 18:43 |
| amd007 | anybody tell me the package name which is used to show boot process msgs duting startup & shutdown | 18:43 |
| n8tuser | Gerinych-> I have not, but why would it that much anymore different? | 18:43 |
| jedi06 | 85 mb for thunderbird i'll go with that | 18:43 |
| nbeebo | made fresh install then installed latest driver from ati.com and theyre now in use, but 1920x1200 doesnt work as it should, just 1600x1200; 1920x1200 has worked about a year ago when i last used them | 18:43 |

| amd007 | anybody tell me the package name which is used to show boot process msgs during system startup & shutdown?? | 18:44 |
| sysdoc | |neon|, u have nvidia-settings installed? | 18:44 |
| Shapeshifter | gnutron: yeah not that. $HOME, not $PATH ^^ | 18:45 |
| oCean_ | Shapeshifter: well changing $HOME for that purpose (or any) is tricky, since several programs depend on that | 18:45 |
| gnutron | Shapeshifter: i mis-understood you, sorry. | 18:45 |
| Shapeshifter | oCean_: that's why I'd like to put it as early as possible (possibly init scripts or something) | 18:45 |
| |neon| | sysdoc: yes that is what i am using to configure the screens | 18:46 |
| oCean_ | Shapeshifter: seems too tricky to me. | 18:46 |
| n8tuser | Shapeshifter -> umm what are you trying to accomplish? | 18:47 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Hello | 18:47 |
| Shapeshifter | n8tuser: what I'm trying to to is to have _all_ ".dot-files" in /home/shapeshifter/.config instead of /home/shapeshifter/ So if I change my home dir to ~/.config, all the apps will put their stuff there, while I still want to use my /home/shapeshifter as usual for personal files (but all configs should go in .config) | 18:48 |

| deepfriedsquirre | I resized a partition (sda7) and added a new one (sda8) and my Ubuntu partition (sda9) won't boot because its partition ID is wrong. I had a similar problem with OpenSUSE (sda7), but it asked me if I wanted to fall back to sda7 and I said 'yes' - it booted. What shall I don about my Ubuntu (sda9)? | 18:49 |

| n8tuser | Shapeshifter -> i dont think there are any .dotfiles in /home/shapeshifter/.config | 18:50 |
| jedi06 | how do you start thunderbird, i just installed thunderbird but there is not thunderbird command | 18:50 |
| Shapeshifter | n8tuser: huh | 18:50 |
| gnutron | jedi06: in your menu, its GUI | 18:51 |
| n8tuser | Shapeshifter -> i dont think there are any .dotfiles in /home/shapeshifter/.config <-- look and tell me what .dotfiles are here ? | 18:51 |
| jedi06 | gnutron i can't use a gui | 18:51 |
| gnutron | jedi06: unless youre on a server, no desktop.? | 18:51 |
| jedi06 | no desktop | 18:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jedi06, type thunderbird from cli | 18:51 |
| n8tuser | jedi06 -> isnt thunderbird gui based? | 18:52 |
| Shapeshifter | n8tuser: files with a . in front. hidden files where apps made by ignorant devs put their config in. like .wine .geany etc etc | 18:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jedi06, no gui at all.. then no | 18:52 |
| n8tuser | Shapeshifter -> but they are not in ~/.config they are in ~/ | 18:52 |
| Shapeshifter | n8tuser: lol. read what I told you in the beginning again. and again. | 18:52 |
| solexious | WHen clicking on edit connections the wired list is blank, how can I tell it to find eth0? | 18:53 |
| gnutron | jedi06: this might work, edit /etc/hosts to read like this 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost myhostname | 18:53 |
| solexious | WHen clicking on edit connections within networkmanager, the wired list is blank, how can I tell it to find eth0? | 18:53 |
| jedi06 | alright lets try that | 18:54 |
| gnutron | jedi06: the myhostname insert your fqdn | 18:54 |
| jedi06 | how do i find that out | 18:54 |
| n8tuser | Shapeshifter -> what you're trying seems not to make sense, partial of $HOME contents in one dir and partial on another | 18:55 |
| tails1 | anyone ever see your terminal come up as a big white rectangle? | 18:55 |
| gnutron | jedi06: try 74-140-187-35.dhcp.insightbb.com or just the numeric ip. | 18:55 |
| tails1 | w/ no text or title bar? | 18:55 |
| tails1 | still fully functional, just looks crappy. | 18:55 |
| Shapeshifter | n8tuser: it makes sense. but nevermind | 18:55 |
| Suprano | can i tell ubuntu to update the linux headers as well when doing a normal system update? | 18:56 |
| fracture | how can I open port 113 to incomming connections | 18:56 |

| al4onsco | Windows works just fine though. | 19:00 |

| gnutron | fracture: thats the identd port, use iptables to manage it | 19:13 |
| n8tuser | fracture -> open it? and then do what? | 19:13 |
| Tamale | freddy_engels: So, how do I use the 8.10 installer and 'keep' the current partitioning system? | 19:13 |
| fracture | I need to learn iptables just to open a port...??? | 19:13 |
| al4onsco | Has no one else experience these issues? 8.10 livecd won't work at all. Alternate cd will install but freezes on log-in. Removing compiz doesn't do anything. Xfix doesn't help. It boots up but just freezes. | 19:14 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Tamale: I have a feeling that there are different upgrade methods depending on what you need to go from to. I think you'll have to do it bit by bit. | 19:14 |
| pranky | anyone know much about autofs/nis combinations | 19:14 |
| n8tuser | al4onsco -> what do you mean freezes on login, you are just trying to install it? no login while you are trying to install eh? | 19:14 |
| gnutron | fracture: its a priveleged port, what do you want it for? use a frontend like firestarter to manage iptables | 19:14 |
| pranky | can't seem to get it working | 19:15 |
| Volker | mit BAM Kontakt aufgenommen | 19:15 |
| fracture | I need for identd | 19:15 |
| Tamale | deepfriedsquirre: I'm really not too interested in 'upgrading'.. a fresh start was more what I was hoping for. The *only* catch is I want the RAID5 array to keep its current layout of 8 active disks, one active spare, and one active hot-spare | 19:15 |
| al4onsco | @n8tuser Nope, it's installed already. I can put in my user name and pw, but it just won't do anything. Login happens, but only to a tan screen with a mouse cursor, which is frozen. | 19:15 |
| Tamale | deepfriedsquirre: the OS alone is on a completely separate drive | 19:15 |
| freddy_engels | Tamale: From 5.10, I'm really not sure how you can have a fresh start without repartitioning. | 19:15 |
| zleap | virtualisation | 19:16 |
| freddy_engels | If you have separate partitions for certain directories, perhaps you won't have to format them. | 19:16 |
| zleap | but that is not really a fresh start | 19:16 |
| Tamale | I do | 19:16 |
| n8tuser | al4onsco -> can you login via ctrl+atl+f1 to f6 ? and work in command line environment til you fix the X server issue? | 19:16 |
| Tamale | boot and / are on a separate drive | 19:16 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Tamale: Can't you just mount the partition from LiveCD, wipe it with rm -rf /mnt/Tamalesubuntupartition, umount it and run the installer using a custom partition layout, setting the mount point of the partition as /? | 19:16 |
| freddy_engels | Tamale: do you have separate /home /tmp /usr....etc | 19:16 |
| deepfriedsquirre | I resized a partition (sda7) and added a new one (sda8) and my Ubuntu partition (sda9) won't boot because its partition ID is wrong. I had a similar problem with OpenSUSE (sda7), but it asked me if I wanted to fall back to sda7 and I said 'yes' - it booted. What shall I don about my Ubuntu (sda9)? | 19:16 |
| n8tuser | Tamale -> then the rest can just be mounted after you install a fresh 8.04 | 19:17 |
| Tamale | ahh now we're talking | 19:17 |
| niere | anyone know why a priority setting in /etc/apt/preferences with a Pin: origin ppa.launchpad.net is being ignored? | 19:17 |
| al4onsco | @n8tuser I haven't tried that, but that's because I only have about an hour's worth of knowledge in Linux. I know nothing about the command line. | 19:17 |
| n8tuser | deepfriedsquirre -> use the /dev/sdX instead of UUID in menu.lst | 19:17 |
| Tamale | what's disconcerning is when I start the LiveCD the partitioner doesn't see the mda array | 19:17 |
| pkrumins | anyone got vmware tools working on Ubuntu 8.10? | 19:17 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Tamale: Remember to back up anything you want | 19:18 |
| pkrumins | I found a patch that compiled the vmware tools and they installed ok, but nothing works | 19:18 |
| pkrumins | like mouse does not get shared | 19:18 |
| deepfriedsquirre | n8tuser: I used (hd0,8), yes | 19:18 |
| pkrumins | neither i can drag files. | 19:18 |
| n8tuser | al4onsco -> you're jiving me, you claimed to spend doing lots of tutorials and now you tell me only an hour? | 19:18 |
| Tamale | deepfriedsquirre: it's all backed up on another computer already | 19:18 |
| sysdoc | pkrumins, yea with Xp and win2003 as guest OS's | 19:18 |
| Tamale | deepfriedsquirre: PM ? | 19:18 |
| Richard_R | Using a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10, my keyboard doesn't work past the login screen. Also, my mouse won't activate controls on most windows, won't right click, and the Applications, Places, System menu won't work. When I click them, they highlight but don't open. Both installation and live CD have this problem. Already redownloaded and reburned. Ubuntu 6.06 didn't have this problem. Does... | 19:18 |
| Richard_R | ...anyone know what might cause this? | 19:18 |
| pkrumins | sysdoc, no, ubuntu is guest. | 19:18 |
| deepfriedsquirre | But it wouldn't boot, probably because of a bad UUID in my /etc/fstab | 19:18 |
| pkrumins | sysdoc, and win xp is master. | 19:19 |
| al4onsco | @n8tuser I SWEAR to you I'm telling the absolute truth. I've done all this stuff using google. | 19:19 |
| pkrumins | sysdoc, can't get ubuntu work as guest in vmware running on windows. | 19:19 |
| freddy_engels | is it possible to re-install dpkg without using dpkg? | 19:19 |
| sysdoc | pkrumins, can Xp really ever be the host os? | 19:19 |
| deepfriedsquirre | I'm just a bit scared to go editting that in case I half-do the job and end up with my system getting confused and damaging stuff. | 19:19 |
| al4onsco | @n8tuser Will using the 8.04 LTS work for me since 8.10 just plain doesn't? | 19:19 |
| n8tuser | al4onsco -> be patient with cli, you will get the best out of linux if you do, versus all those gui, so work on the cli and get yourself comfy | 19:19 |
| al4onsco | @n8tuser But I can't get anything to work and I don't know how. | 19:20 |
| n8tuser | al4onsco -> i personally would not recommend 8.10, i find it too troublesome, but thats just me | 19:20 |
| DVA5912 | I just installed ubuntu on my system. I have an NvIdia Geforece 7200 GS graphics card in windows it was running at 120C with nothing and in linux it is running at less than 95C is this normal? or something wrong with the card? | 19:20 |
| n8tuser | al4onsco -> if you can login via a console, thats the cli, go and play around there | 19:20 |
| dr3mro | plz help me i installed ubuntu intrepid every thing is ok except bluetooth dont send or recieve and it works well on vista on same machine | 19:21 |
| DVA5912 | ok nvm it is warming up now | 19:21 |
| n8tuser | al4onsco -> its already working for you, except the X server part, so spend time getting cozy with linux via cli | 19:21 |
| al4onsco | @n8tuser Okay, I'm getting 8.04 and if it doesn't work Linux can say goodbye. But, as I said, I'm not going back to the "W" word and I refuse to get an expensive and entirely useless piece of fruit... so I'll just recycle the darned thing and go on about my life using my cellphone for the web. | 19:22 |
| deepfriedsquirre | I resized a partition (sda7) and added a new one (sda8) and my Ubuntu partition (sda9) won't boot because its partition ID is wrong. I had a similar problem with OpenSUSE (sda7), but it asked me if I wanted to fall back to sda7 and I said 'yes' - it booted. What shall I do about my Ubuntu (sda9)? I was going to edit the /etc/fstab to use a device filename rather than a partition Id. Good idea? | 19:22 |
| n8tuser | al4onsco -> or you can donate that piece of art to me, ill make use of it :P | 19:22 |
| dr3mro | plz help me i installed ubuntu intrepid every thing is ok except bluetooth dont send or recieve and it works well on vista on same machine | 19:23 |
| n8tuser | deepfriedsquirre -> yes i've already suggested that eh? use /dev/sdX instead of UUID | 19:23 |
| al4onsco | @n8tuser You got a deal! IM me your email, if it doesn't work, I'll ship it to you. I'll even PAY to ship it to you. | 19:23 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Yes | 19:23 |
| deepfriedsquirre | And I said that I'm scared of doing it because I'm afraid that I may need to do something else as well. Is that a safe bet? | 19:23 |
| n8tuser | al4onsco -> my address is your local salvation army store -- we will take it anytime | 19:24 |
| al4onsco | @n8tuser Cute. Okay, wish me luck. | 19:24 |
| dr3mro | plz help me i installed ubuntu intrepid every thing is ok except bluetooth dont send or recieve and it works well on vista on same machine | 19:24 |
| deepfriedsquirre | I mean, you suggested I used that in the /boot/grub/menu.lst, not the /etc/fstab. Is there anything else I need to do? | 19:24 |
| n8tuser | al4onsco -> i really am wishing you the best | 19:24 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Hey dr3mro! | 19:24 |
| Tamale | any RAID / mdadm experts in here? | 19:25 |
| deepfriedsquirre | In fact, I can't help with that... sorry. | 19:25 |
| malienlaf | #ubuntu-es | 19:25 |
| n8tuser | deepfriedsquirre -> yeah both, on menu.lst and also fstab to rid of the UUID issue, and correct it once you get the correct uuid | 19:25 |
| dr3mro | plz help me i installed ubuntu intrepid every thing is ok except bluetooth dont send or recieve and it works well on vista on same machine | 19:25 |
| Drknezzz | Hi guys! What happened to ubuntu-restricted-extras on Intrepid? | 19:25 |

| n8tuser | freddy_engels -> not sure, try dpkg-reconfigure ? | 19:37 |

| Drknezzz | sugi: weird then, maybe it uses some weird variation of WMA then | 19:37 |
| Abed | justn: ok i was trying to configure hydra-5.4 source files so i got two errors one was about libssh which i got and one librfc/saprfc.h which i didn't find and i google it but got nth | 19:37 |

| matt___ | n8tuser: Oh..no no no. I don't think that's possible at all...unless you heavily scripted something in linux to make it create a "changing" mp3 file...that may work. | 19:39 |
| linduxed_ | how do i change the theme of konversation without installing KDE? | 19:39 |
| Slart | !clone | aib | 19:39 |
| ubottu | aib: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 19:39 |
| freddy_engels | Slart: The problem with this is even if a fix is issued, I don't think update manager will be able to catch it since dpkg is broken | 19:39 |
| aib | thanks Slart | 19:39 |
| freddy_engels | Is that correct? | 19:39 |
| Zenitur | I have ADSL-router ZyXEL and don't remember the name. My ping is 200. Can I do something to set ping < 200? For example, set off buffer? | 19:39 |

| istvan_ | ActionParsnip: is there an ubuntu version? | 20:50 |
| LiENUS | Jack_Sparrow, to import wireless settings? | 20:50 |
| VSpike | hajar: right-click panel, select "add to panel", select "Brightness applet" | 20:50 |
| draeday | hey jenk is it possible to just have the cario dock boot and show on the desktop without the panels | 20:50 |
| ActionParsnip | istvan_: those are linux php designing apps | 20:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ah.. no | 20:50 |
| LiENUS | ohh you mean to configure them in the installer? | 20:51 |
| hajar | thanx so much | 20:51 |

| MHz128 | Does anyone use find that Firefox runs slightly slower in linux than it does in XP or OSX? | 20:52 |
| Jenk | LiENUS: YUP | 20:52 |
| MHz128 | or am i just imagining things | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | istvan_: thats all i got, i dont code php, try in #php | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | MHz128: not sine i apt-built it ;) | 20:52 |
| Dr_willis | MHz128, cant say that ive noticed | 20:52 |
| istvan_ | ActionParsnip: do you know of a good flowchart type layout program I can use? | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | MHz128: but yes the standard is dog slow, try opera if you want fast | 20:52 |
| MHz128 | ActionParsnip, apt-built? explain | 20:52 |
| sektor1952 | I keep getting unknown key rndckey and I know my key matches my dns server key | 20:52 |
| oskar- | Joker_-_, and you copied it to a file system that knows of linux-like permissions | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | istvan_: no idea man, sorry | 20:52 |
| Joker_-_ | Jack_Sparrow: fixed it! chmod 6755 | 20:53 |
| Joker_-_ | 755 | 20:53 |
| === L3PP3RS is now known as Leppers_ | ||
| MHz128 | ActionParsnip, opera is java based? | 20:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Joker_-_, Cool glad that helped | 20:53 |
| Joker_-_ | oskar-: it was a ext3 fs, thx I think its fine | 20:53 |
| CyberGabber | istvan_: Maybe program 'dia' (for Gnome), see : http://projects.gnome.org/dia/ ? | 20:53 |
| Joker_-_ | Jack_Sparrow: thx, hope everyhthing is in shape | 20:53 |
| oskar- | Joker_-_, ok | 20:53 |
| ActionParsnip | MHz128: no, its coded in C and C++ (and I think some assembly) | 20:53 |
| Joker_-_ | Jack_Sparrow: I had troubles with the gvfs or something file aswell but got the answer on google | 20:53 |
| Joker_-_ | oskar-: thx again | 20:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Joker_-_, You should be good to go from here | 20:53 |
| ActionParsnip | MHz128: its like emerge for gentoo, it uses deb-src and compiles source to make deb files which can make apps run nicer) | 20:54 |
| CyberGabber | isejimas: It supports UML / ERD etc. | 20:54 |
| Joker_-_ | Jack_Sparrow: should be! thx ;) | 20:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 20:54 |
| deany | i still dont get the extra bit on the permissions lol... | 20:54 |
| Jenk | bye jack | 20:54 |
| deany | never had a use for it. therefore dont know it | 20:54 |
| draeday | which desktop r u running kde xfce r gnome | 20:54 |
| VSpike | deany: extra bit? | 20:55 |
| deany | x777 | 20:55 |
| MHz128 | ActionParsnip, the apps run faster because they were compiled on your own machine? | 20:55 |
| Jenk | draeday: whom r u asking ? | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | MHz128: it can help, give it a try. its a good laugh | 20:55 |
| draeday | u | 20:55 |
| draeday | jenk | 20:55 |
| Jenk | draeday:gnome | 20:56 |
| Drknezzz | MHz128: yes and no | 20:56 |
| VSpike | deany: they're for SUID, SGID and sticky :) | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | MHz128: sudo apt-get install apt-build; sudo apt-build update; sudo apt-build install firefox-3.0 | 20:56 |
| Drknezzz | MHz128: they would only run faster if you know exact technical data 'bout your processor | 20:56 |
| MHz128 | ActionParsnip, have you used Firefox in Windows XP? its much faster than it is in linux.... at least in my installation | 20:56 |
| MHz128 | ah i c | 20:56 |
| Drknezzz | MHz128: And you compile everything manually | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | MHz128: its all confiog my friend | 20:56 |
| deany | yeah.. but sticky why.. never needed it so not bothered to look up | 20:57 |
| draeday | whats the best software for instant messaging | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | MHz128: read some guides, th commands i gave you will give you what you already have but you can set optomisation levels higher to see if its better | 20:57 |
| deany | depends what you want it to do | 20:57 |
| VSpike | MHz128: you could try swiftfox if you don't want to compile yourself | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | MHz128: personally i think firefox is too fat, swiftfox is much nicer | 20:57 |
| tweak | anyone framilliar with using grub and windows 7? | 20:58 |
| presshere | there is no best.. i recomend pidgin | 20:58 |
| nukisen | hmm im beginning to get sick of the wireless lan on the other pc | 20:58 |
| Jenk | draeday: use a variety, draeday, and decide what suits you. | 20:58 |
| MHz128 | interesting, ill have a look! | 20:58 |
| saxin | tweak: what you wanna know? | 20:58 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: Optimisations take more time into compiling, and usually dont make apps run better, dont do it MHz128 | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | MHz128: dont be firefox brainwashed, there are lots of browsers out there | 20:58 |
| tweak | saxin: how to add it as a boot option in grub | 20:58 |
| deany | i tried swift.. didnt start any faster, looked at resources, no diff.. | 20:58 |
| nukisen | I installed Ubuntu on my wifes pc and cant get it out to internet | 20:58 |
| saxin | tweak: just like you would do with XP | 20:58 |
| On0bi | tweak: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html | 20:58 |
| saxin | I just installed ubuntu after Windows7, and it worked like a charm :) | 20:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: runs my whole system about 10% faster here and I ran the compile overnight so I lost nothing | 20:59 |
| MHz128 | ActionParsnip, i've tried epiphany and midori... neither seem to produce 'accurate' looking web pages | 20:59 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: lol, Gentoo? | 20:59 |
| deany | but i used one from the repo .. not one my machine made love to and gave birth to a deb :) | 20:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: system would have sat idle otherwise | 20:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: yeah i have a gentoo box | 20:59 |
| On0bi | saxin: are you useing win7 beta? | 20:59 |
| tweak | see my hard drive has 4 partitions.. win XP, ext3 ubuntu, windows 7, then a storage partition.. | 20:59 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: It's fast, blazin' fast, but compiling is slow :( | 21:00 |
| VSpike | deany: sticky is most use for directories. It forces files created in that directory to inherit group ownership of the parent. Quite useful if you ever want to create a public file area, for example. Set sticky on the directory, chgrp -R users /home/public, and set the umask to 002 | 21:00 |
| phrostbite | Since I have wine installed does that mean I can install stuff from a cd? | 21:00 |
| saxin | On0bi: yep | 21:00 |
| Dr_willis | phrostbite, in theory yes. | 21:00 |
| nukisen | draeday pidgin resolves most chat program | 21:00 |
| tweak | what's the fdisk command to list the partitions again? | 21:01 |
| Dr_willis | phrostbite, i often find it better to copy all the windows installs files from the cd to a directrroy and use wine to install from there. | 21:01 |
| dotblank | fdisk -l | 21:01 |
| nukisen | for an example i am using it right now | 21:01 |
| Dr_willis | tweak, use 'sudo fdisk -l' | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: well its from an age when bandwidth was slow so downloading source compared to binary is much more attractive | 21:01 |
| phrostbite | Ok. Dr_willis That was about to be my next question :) | 21:01 |
| deany | draeday: compile your own if I were you, ubuntu fell asleep 2 versions ago | 21:01 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: Umm... i have fast internet | 21:01 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: But still, compiling is a bit slow, especially if you do it from the ground-up | 21:01 |
| deany | those msn problems sorted out yet? | 21:01 |
| Dr_willis | phrostbite, and of course Not ll windows apps/games will work properly with wine.. sadly | 21:02 |
| deany | i dont use msn so no idea | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: you wouldnt have when gentoo was first appearing | 21:02 |
| nukisen | I dont have any probs with msn in pidgin | 21:02 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: lol, that's true | 21:02 |
| lime4x4 | how can i get awn to start on xscreen #2 instead of xscreen 0 when using multi lcd panels | 21:02 |
| phrostbite | Once you have wine installed does that make your computer more susceptible to virus's? | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: so a few kb for text files or a few mb or so for binary over 9kb/s baud modem | 21:02 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: Anyways, i like ubuntu over gentoo bbecause ubuntu is easier to use | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: and yuo gotta setup a whole os | 21:02 |
| phrostbite | Oh I was not aware that not all will work? | 21:02 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: xD | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: i see them as tools for the job so like both | 21:03 |
| On0bi | phrostbite: no | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: personally I prefer mandriva over ubuntu but it was my first distro so i'm more used to it | 21:03 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: they both do the same, but with different methods | 21:03 |
| phrostbite | Would it be easier to find out which programs will work or which won't work? Like is it a huge list of things that won't work? | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: depends how you compile gentoo | 21:03 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: ubuntu was my first dristro, still, i followed the entire handbook | 21:04 |
| On0bi | phrostbite: viruses modify part of windows registery and thngs like that. think of wine like a little box that magically lets you use windows things. it's not windows, just a box | 21:04 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: And i compiled kde and X in my machine | 21:04 |
| VSpike | MHz128: epiphany uses the same engine as firefox so shoudl render the same. And midori uses webkit, same as konqueror (I think) and safari. So if the pages render wrong, they are badly made pages. | 21:04 |
| phrostbite | Oh On0bi, thank you very much for that analogy. | 21:04 |
| tweak | what does /dev/sda3 mean in grub terms? (hd0,2)? that's what i have set as my option, set up just like windows xp.. but it doesn't work | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: my gentoo uses fluxbox, kde is too fat | 21:04 |
| Drknezzz | VSpike: midori DOES use webkit | 21:04 |
| On0bi | phrostbite: lol no problem | 21:04 |
| Jenk | LiENUS: u alive? | 21:04 |
| LiENUS | yeah | 21:05 |
| MHz128 | VSpike, cool, what do you use? | 21:05 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: KDe looks cool | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: it runs samba, file backups and torrent client with web interface only. no need for fat kde | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Drknezzz: its headless | 21:05 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: KDE4 is over-done with gfx | 21:05 |
| VSpike | Drknezzz: my query was over konqueror :) but I thnk I was wrong.. it uses khtml which is related but not the same | 21:05 |
| Drknezzz | ActionParsnip: lol | 21:05 |
| Drknezzz | VSpike: I think Safari uses khtml | 21:06 |
| Jenk | Li: great man ! i thought u had popped off! | 21:06 |
| djm62 | Hi, all, I have English, Russian, and Russian Tatar keyboard layouts set in GNOME in Ubuntu 8.10: Russian Tatar has a few keys where you have to press alt to get the normal Russian letter. I want the reverse: a Russian keyboard where I can press alt to get Tatar | 21:06 |
| LiENUS | im about to reboot into linux i think and dick around to see about importing these settings heh | 21:06 |
| LiENUS | see if network manager stores things in some easily accessed format in my home dir | 21:06 |
| phrostbite | So how do I know if an application is wine compatable? To be honest I really wanna install world of warcraft so my little brothers can play when they come over. | 21:06 |
| djm62 | (implied question: how can I attain this?) | 21:06 |
| VSpike | Drknezzz: nope, webkit for sure | 21:06 |
| LiENUS | phrostbite, check the wine app db | 21:06 |
| JackWinter | do changes take effect directly after editing /etc/security/limits.conf or do i have to do something special ? | 21:07 |
| Drknezzz | VSpike: srsly? | 21:07 |
| Slart | !appdb | phrostbite | 21:07 |
| ubottu | phrostbite: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 21:07 |
| LiENUS | they include information on what it takes to make it work as well | 21:07 |
| Jenk | LiENUS: all the best !! | 21:07 |
| phrostbite | Thank you. | 21:07 |
| LiENUS | heh i know it wont import my eap settings no matter what i do but hopefully i can get it working with wpapsk and wep | 21:07 |
| Drknezzz | VSpike: Wikipedia says Safari uses Webkit | 21:08 |
| LiENUS | damned binary blobs | 21:08 |
| oskar- | JackWinter, they should be applied at each new login, afaik | 21:08 |
| Drknezzz | VSpike: and webkit COMES from khtml ;) | 21:08 |
| Svenstaro | Some laptop user with working suspend please do this: ls /lib/initcpio/hooks and tell me if there's a IDE/PATA/SATA/SCSI hook, pleeeease :) | 21:08 |

| VSpike | MHz128: Always seem to come back to firefox, but am trying midori (needs more work but promising), opera (used it for years a way back, having another look, seems good), and I did use epiphany for a long time too just for kicks | 21:08 |

| jinja-sheep | Ubuntu Tribe -- http://ubuntutribe.com/ -- Fail. :| | 21:10 |
| LiENUS | MHz128, because apple arent the best at open source co operation | 21:10 |
| jinja-sheep | Dave4: What's the issue? | 21:10 |
| corey__ | Svenstaro, Slart, yes I've been unable to find it | 21:10 |

| AMEUR | Enter text here...HIIIIIIIIIIIII | 21:11 |
| Dave4 | ok when i start up ubuntu all i get is a black screen | 21:11 |
| VSpike | MHz128: epiphany made a webkit version I think, but not sure if they will switch. But it's not much less basic than midori | 21:11 |
| MHz128 | LiENUS, apple owns webkit? | 21:11 |
| Dave4 | with white text | 21:11 |
| phrostbite | Jenk, yes it has been solved. You guys/gals always help me so much. I appreciate it | 21:11 |
| LiENUS | MHz128, webkit is the apple fork of khtml | 21:11 |
| Dave4 | where it tells me to log in i do and then i dont know what to do | 21:11 |
| jinja-sheep | Dave4: Keep everything in one line. | 21:11 |
| LiENUS | forked long ago though so its very diff now | 21:11 |
| Jenk | Give credit to the almighty !! | 21:11 |
| Dave4 | lol sorry | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Dave4: if you press ctrl+alt+backspace and log in does it do it again? | 21:11 |
| MHz128 | LiENUS, what is khtml? | 21:11 |
| LiENUS | MHz128, the kde html rendering engine used in konqueror | 21:11 |
| MHz128 | ohhh ic | 21:12 |
| Dave4 | ok when i start up ubuntu it takes me to black screen with white text where it tells me to log in, i do and then i dont know what to do after that i want to know how to actually use it like you would suse which im on right now | 21:12 |
| LiENUS | i think apples improved on their open source co operation with webkit now so you may see more browsers using it | 21:12 |

| Slart | corey__: are you using intrepid? have you enabled the repos? | 21:14 |
| xTheGoat121_ | So, I'm having an odd situation with Intrepid. The computer just seems to randomly lock up. I don't even know where to begin troubleshooting this one. | 21:14 |

| EraZ | Dave, a tip | 21:14 |
| EraZ | If you want it to be really easy | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | profXavier: runs vms fine | 21:15 |
| EraZ | use wubi :) | 21:15 |
| Dave4 | no i liyed itworks | 21:15 |
| EraZ | http://wubi-installer.org/ | 21:15 |
| Dave4 | dude | 21:15 |
| djm62 | Dave4: I suspect you may be able to install package ubuntu-desktop | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | profXavier: but i dont run windows, its ubuntu running the vm | 21:15 |
| Dr_willis | I would suggest trying Ubuntu in virtualbox instead of Wubi. | 21:15 |
| Dave4 | no sorry that was my gay friend | 21:15 |
| thomasite | Hi. Does anyone know any package that is similar to a Nokia PC Suite? I have a Nokia 6120 classic phone and my laptop runs on Ubuntu 8.10. Thanks! | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | profXavier: if you are running a windows host then head to ##windows | 21:15 |
| EraZ | thomasite, tried wammu before? | 21:16 |
| === tat-_ is now known as tat- | ||
| jinja-sheep | Dave4: Are you leaving the dark side or you just want a taste of the holy grail? If you only want a taste of the holy grail, then install Wubi. If you want the freedom, install Ubuntu Desktop Edition. | 21:16 |
| profXavier | ActionParsnip ill take my chances here, if you dont mind | 21:16 |
| Tom2 | Hi, I could use some help with mounting a volume, if any body has the time? | 21:16 |
| EraZ | search for it in synaptic :) | 21:16 |
| simo_ | hello , how can I change the gnome language for for only one user ?! | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | profXavier: if you are running a linux host you dont need much really | 21:16 |
| profXavier | ActionParsnip do you have a similar setup ? | 21:17 |
| thomasite | No. Haven't tried wammu. | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | profXavier: just depends what the vm is going to be performing as | 21:17 |
| thomasite | Is it any good? | 21:17 |
| EraZ | you should :) good piece of software | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | profXavier: the only win system i have is my work lappy | 21:17 |
| EraZ | works perfectly with my SE k700i | 21:17 |
| profXavier | so you do not | 21:17 |
| oskar- | Dave4, yes, it should be enough to log in with the specified user name and then type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 21:17 |
| EraZ | not with my w950i, but that one has bluetooth issues, so i blame the phone :) | 21:17 |
| djm62 | Dave4: in any case, don't just reinstall what you installed, you need the desktop edition | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | profXavier: you are asking a windows question so is offtopic for the room | 21:17 |
| user___ | xTheGoat121_: hmm, already done a memtest? | 21:17 |
| djm62 | oskar-: cheers for confirmation, I wasn't sure | 21:17 |
| Dave4 | btw the reason i tried server version was because desktop took waaaaaay too long | 21:17 |
| profXavier | why is installing Ubuntu a 'windows question' | 21:18 |

| alexandergaeta | Hey everyone! Quick question: do Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu all support 64bit systems, and if so, which one is the best? | 21:21 |
| jinja-sheep | !best | alexandergaeta | 21:22 |
| Slart | alexandergaeta: they all support 64 bit yes.. and the difference is mostly up to taste | 21:22 |
| ubottu | alexandergaeta: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 21:22 |
| ActionParsnip | profXavier: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads | 21:22 |
| Dr_willis | profXavier, yes... has been for ages. | 21:22 |
| jussi01 | alexandergaeta: all of them are supported | 21:22 |
| dean | profXavier: Yes, it has a Windows,version | 21:22 |
| dean | profXavier | 21:22 |
| shear | alexandergaeta: yeah, they all do. The x/k/ubuntu part is just icing on top of the 64 bit cake | 21:22 |
| deany | Dr_willis: ubuntu 81.0 is junk for vmware | 21:22 |
| Dr_willis | alexandergaeta, yes they have - and use whatever one you want. | 21:22 |
| profXavier | Dr_willis what is your setup configure like ? | 21:22 |
| Dr_willis | deany, I dont use vmware. i use virtualbox. | 21:22 |
| deany | vmware tools yet again dont install for a new ubuntu release | 21:22 |
| deany | i know, I was replying to your comment about vmware :) | 21:23 |
| nickrud | alexandergaeta, install one, add the others with apt-get, then test until you decide best for yourself | 21:23 |
| Dr_willis | profXavier, setup? I just made a 10gb hard drive in virtualbox.. had virtualbox mount the .iso and boot it..and installed.. nothing special at all about it. | 21:23 |
| djm62 | alexandergaeta: they're all free! they all work! they all have people who will claim they're the best thing since sliced bread... | 21:23 |
| shear | so nobody can tell me the status of the repos? Did a major update come out today or something? | 21:23 |
| xTheGoat121x | Ha sanyone noticed any instability with Intrepid? | 21:23 |
| Dr_willis | deany, i couldent even figure out how to use the latest vmware. :) they totally goofedup the interface. heh | 21:23 |
| Slart | shear: I haven't seen anything | 21:23 |
| nickrud | djm62, collectively true :) | 21:23 |
| shear | hmm thanks | 21:23 |
| user___ | xTheGoat121_: hmm, already done a memtest? | 21:23 |
| Slart | shear: you've tried using another mirror? | 21:23 |
| Dr_willis | shear, i see 97 updates.. but i had 70 updates yesterday i ignored. | 21:24 |
| xTheGoat121x | user___, yeah, my system's RAM is good. | 21:24 |
| nickrud | shear, try another mirror; if you're using us.archives they're often slow | 21:24 |
| jinja-sheep | Dr_willis: Are you using Jaunty updates? | 21:24 |
| ActionParsnip | xTheGoat121x: is it general instability or in just one app or 2 | 21:24 |
| deany | I installed it fine.. | 21:24 |
| deany | just useless | 21:24 |
| shear | Dr_willis, Slart, thanks. Looks like this might be my end. nickrud: already did. | 21:24 |
| Dr_willis | jinja-sheep, nO. :) | 21:25 |
| runderwo | xTheGoat121x: only wireless drivers crash my system :p | 21:25 |
| jinja-sheep | Dr_willis: Good. :) | 21:25 |
| Dr_willis | i have a lot of unofficial repos added also.. so your # may vary | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | xTheGoat121x: is it the same for all users? | 21:25 |
| xTheGoat121x | ActionParsnip, most of the time, it seems to occur when I'm listening to music with Audacious. It's a brand-new install | 21:25 |
| deany | plus the virtual networking module takes an age at bootup | 21:25 |
| nutzer | huhu | 21:25 |
| xTheGoat121x | ActionParsnip, and I only have one user. It's hard to recreate, that's really what bothers me about it. | 21:25 |

| arezey | whoops. | 21:26 |
| djm62 | xTheGoat121x: is it overheating? | 21:26 |
| xTheGoat121x | arezey, that's a setting in System -> Preferences -> Power Management | 21:26 |
| Slart | arezey: there is a setting somewhere.. look for power saving stuff | 21:26 |
| shear | nickrud: although i might try a few other mirrors. do you have a list? | 21:26 |

| Slart | arezey: suspending is just almost shutting the computer down.. it's still using power and running.. hibernation is saving everything to the hard drive, then shutting down, not using power | 21:29 |
| djm62 | xTheGoat121x: the only problems I've had with instability (random shutdowns/crashes) have been due to overheating - suggestion from personal experience, if for example you're running cpu-heavy visualisations while listening to mp3s | 21:29 |
| jinja-sheep | arezey: Suspend -- Sleeping... and running at same time. Whatever you have open... won't be lost. Hibernating -- Save everything to the RAM and... "shut down" -- uses no power. Again, will save everything (the state) on your Windows. | 21:30 |
| runderwo | xTheGoat121x: If nothing else, also try booting the kernel with noacpi noapic nolapic | 21:30 |
| arezey | jinja-sheep, Slart, thanks. | 21:30 |

| xTheGoat121x | runderwo, all right. Those are all great suggestions. I doubt it's overheating, though you can never be too sure. I'm not doing anything CPU-intensive. | 21:31 |
| shear | nickrud: awesome, kernel.org is working fine. for some reason all the canadian mirrors i tried were slow. | 21:31 |
| takagami | Running Ibex 64bit server installed xorg and openbox... when I startx my wireless keyboard and touchpad combo no longer works except for ctrl-alt-delete | 21:31 |
| oskar- | Zombie_Gaz, can you be more specific? is it perhaps a network related problem, that ident doesn't work? | 21:31 |
| Slart | takagami: hmm.. odd that ctrl+alt+delete works and nothing else.. that clearly means it does connect and send register keys | 21:32 |
| takagami | that's what I thought | 21:32 |
| oskar- | takagami, are they referenced correctly in the xorg.conf? | 21:32 |

| Slart | profXavier: I didn't have to use any special setting in virtualbox.. don't know about vmware and friends | 21:33 |
| Dr_willis | profXavier, you could check out the various vmware sites.. there may be premade vmware images for it. i recall some being at the vmware-appliances site | 21:33 |
| Jenk | klingon: try a search engine .! | 21:33 |
| Dr_willis | profXavier, or you could go get virutalbox - for free. | 21:33 |

| ExAstris | But Windows overwrote my MBR | 21:35 |

| runderwo | jedi06: why would you use /dev/sda (the whole disk)? Don't you want /dev/sda1 or something like that? | 21:36 |

| pr0fXavier | my C: is < 2GB free space | 21:37 |
| chippy | my laptop is a bit slow, and firefox takes a bit of time to close down, so long that ubuntu throws up a Wait/Force Quit dialog box. How can I change stuff? | 21:37 |
| runderwo | jedi06: /dev/sda is the whole disk, /dev/sda1 is a partition on the disk | 21:37 |
| Zombie_Gaz | oskar- I don't think it's getting anything. | 21:37 |
| Dr_willis | Grub is the kind of tool - thats its worth reading up on and learning.. | 21:37 |
| Zombie_Gaz | oskar- Just sitting there. | 21:37 |
| runderwo | jedi06: sometimes a whole disk has a filesystem on it, but very rarely. Most always it is a partition that contains the filesystem. | 21:37 |
| jedi06 | how do i know whats on all the partitions | 21:37 |
| runderwo | jedi06: cfdisk /dev/sda | 21:37 |
| djm62 | chippy: firefox will close anyway, don't worry about it. or do you want to change the timeout for that dialog? | 21:37 |
| jinja-sheep | chippy: You might have a better luck with Xubuntu (lightweight) since you said your laptop is a bit slow. My thought. | 21:38 |
| ExAstris | The thing is that I'm on OS X | 21:38 |
| chippy | djm62, yes, that would be better | 21:38 |

| apimpl | runderwo, I have a flash... but sometimes video stopping... | 21:39 |
| chippy | djm62, ok :) thanks | 21:39 |
| ExAstris | This is an Intel-based MAcbook Pro | 21:39 |
| runderwo | jedi06: so, you probably want to use /dev/sda5 | 21:39 |
| ExAstris | About a year and a half old. | 21:39 |
| deany | apimpl: thats called buffering :) | 21:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ActionParsnip, Check your pm | 21:39 |
| Zombie_Gaz | oskar- http://paste.ubuntu.com/106065/ | 21:39 |
| runderwo | apimpl: Ensure that /tmp is not filled up. | 21:39 |
| Drknezzz | apimpl: flash code isn't so optimized, that's normal under heavy load conditions | 21:39 |
| danfg | guys, my keyboard setting are not "sticking", i have to toggle them on and off so that they are applied, everytime i reboot. why that happens? | 21:39 |
| jedi06 | runderwo but there is an sda sda1 sda2 and sda5 cfdisk doesn't say anything about sda2 | 21:40 |
| djm62 | danfg: what settings? | 21:40 |
| runderwo | jedi06: sda2 is probably the "extended partition" that houses the "logical drives" of which sda5 is the first. | 21:40 |
| runderwo | jedi06: You can't use an "extended partition" directly. | 21:40 |
| ExAstris | I'm going to try this "auto-grub-super-disk" thing on that fixing grub page. | 21:40 |
| jedi06 | so my filesystem is on sda5 and sda2? | 21:40 |
| Drknezzz | ExAstris: Grub issues? | 21:40 |
| Drknezzz | ExAstris: did you overwrite grub? | 21:41 |
| ExAstris | Precisely. | 21:41 |
| ExAstris | The problem is that I'm on a Mac | 21:41 |
| ExAstris | and I don't want to kill EFI or rEFIt by accident when I reinstall | 21:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Time for lunch so I will be lurking.. Please behave and have fun.. The only key I can hit while eating is K..Line :) | 21:41 |
| runderwo | jedi06: sda5 is contained within sda2 which is contained within sda | 21:41 |
| ExAstris | I already tried the basic root, setup thing | 21:41 |
| runderwo | jedi06: The filesystem should be on sda5. | 21:41 |
| ExAstris | from a livecd | 21:41 |
| Drknezzz | ExAstris: it's easy to put GRUB back in place | 21:41 |
| ExAstris | no help thar. | 21:41 |
| Drknezzz | ExAstris: do you have a livecd? | 21:41 |
| ExAstris | I does. | 21:42 |
| ExAstris | I have three... Mint, Puppy, and Ubuntu. I've been using the Ubuntu one, however. | 21:42 |
| oskar- | Zombie_Gaz, eth1 is the network device on a computer in the interior network, where the ident server shall listen, and where the router forwards requests to, right? did you activate traffic from outside to tcp port 113? | 21:42 |
| === hobo is now known as hoboman | ||
| Drknezzz | ExAstris: did you try doing what the wiki says? | 21:42 |
| ExAstris | Yes. | 21:42 |
| Drknezzz | ExAstris: No go? | 21:42 |
| ExAstris | grub, find /boot/grub/stage1, etc | 21:42 |
| ExAstris | Nothin. Booted right back into Windows 7 after I selected Windows from EFI | 21:42 |
| danfg | djm62: i'm using a custom keyboard layout, but it's being reset everytime. if i change any keyboard settings, like add then remove a new layout, change layout properties (toggle them on and off), *then* my keyboard layout starts working. everytime i boot it's the same thing | 21:42 |
| Zombie_Gaz | oskar- I have port forward for 113 in my router. Is that what you're asking? | 21:42 |
| oskar- | Zombie_Gaz, yes | 21:43 |
| Drknezzz | ExAstris: There IS an EFI loader for linux | 21:43 |
| Zombie_Gaz | oskar- Yup. | 21:43 |
| ExAstris | hrm. I could use that. | 21:43 |
| oskar- | Zombie_Gaz, if it works, and you for example log into some irc server, you should be able to see traffic at you ident server | 21:43 |
| ExAstris | but I did want to try this auto_super_grub_disk thing | 21:43 |
| Drknezzz | ExAstris: GRUB isn't likely to work with EFI | 21:44 |
| ExAstris | It does. | 21:44 |
| ExAstris | It was before... | 21:44 |
| oskar- | Zombie_Gaz, if nothing arrives, it is intercepted earlier | 21:44 |
| djm62 | danfg: the fates are smiling - I'm in here to ask how to create a custom keyboard layout. Let me see if I can duplicate the problem | 21:44 |
| ExAstris | you boot into EFI | 21:44 |
| storrgie | Does anyone know how to host multiple domains and subdomains on ubuntu with apache? I am using webmin. | 21:44 |
| ExAstris | then boot into Grub by selecting 'linux' in rEFIt | 21:44 |
| ExAstris | then grub handles it from there. | 21:44 |
| chippy | would it be a gnome thing, the Wait / Force Quit dialog? | 21:44 |
| Drknezzz | ExAstris: Then just reinstall grub into the linux partition, not the MBR | 21:45 |
| ExAstris | Hrm, perhaps. | 21:45 |
| Slart | storrgie: I don't think you need to look for ubuntu documentation but apache documentation.. I think it works the same on most large distros | 21:45 |
| ExAstris | what if I installed it to C:\ like this super_auto_grub thing says I can? | 21:45 |
| ExAstris | woudl that do it? | 21:45 |
| Talia | hello | 21:45 |

| Zombie_Gaz | oskar- I see incoming identd traffic with the tcdump command? If so, I see nothing when I try to connect to an irc server. | 21:45 |
| danfg | djm62: i edited /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us adding a new layout, then added the layout to /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst and xorg.xml | 21:45 |
| storrgie | Slart: I figured it out just now anyways, thanks man | 21:46 |

| Talia | thanks | 21:46 |
| djm62 | danfg: how do you change layout? | 21:46 |
| ExAstris | Hrm, well, I'm gonna go and try this UNetBootin thing. | 21:46 |
| djm62 | danfg: switch layout, I mean | 21:46 |

| danfg | djm62: it boots into some standard dvorak which i don't like because it has no dead keys for accents | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | rdw200169: its an option | 21:49 |
| danfg | djm62: that gave me an idea, i'll just change the standard dvorak layout, maybe that'll work | 21:49 |

| oskar- | Zombie_Gaz, if no packets arrive despite forwarding, they are intercepted earlier. then you should investigate in your router. if they arrive in your inner network, you can also set iptables to "reject" an ident request. then the irc server gives up and you don't have to wait for a timeout | 21:56 |

| runderwo | jallona: On the server, sudo /etc/init.d/sshd stop, and then /usr/sbin/sshd -vvv | 22:04 |
| runderwo | jallona: Then watch for interesting output when you try to connect with the client. | 22:04 |
| smithzv | Okay. How can I change the DPI in X. I tried changing .xserverrc and even editing startx to include -dpi xxx, but neither seems to work. If I disable graphical login, and run startx -- -dpi 112 then things seem to work fine, but how can I get it when I use graphical login? | 22:04 |

| runderwo | smithzv: 1366x768 on a 40" screen would seem to me that things would appear very "big". | 22:09 |
| GnuSense | You are trying to back up your whole system, Jenk? I what program are you trying to use? | 22:10 |
| smithzv | runderwo: okay, hmmm... not sure what to make of that... I will try to give to a screen shot. | 22:10 |

| Jenk | GnuSense, Any ideas ? | 22:13 |
| sarmisak | newguy17: what do you mean? | 22:13 |
| Flare183 | newguy17: I think so | 22:13 |
| Robert_Surcouf | twiadpaws: there must be a local linux group where you live installfest are usually a gathering of people helping to install linux | 22:13 |
| smithzv | runderwo: https://webfiles.colorado.edu/smithzv/tiny-fonts.png Mainly the fonts are small, but everything is smaller than I would like at 8 feet away... | 22:13 |
| Guest58908 | runderwo, xubuntu, latest version | 22:13 |
| Robert_Surcouf | twiadpaws: look for a LUG in your area | 22:13 |
| twiadpaws | Robert_Surcouf, nah, i wont let them touch my hardware :b | 22:13 |

| Guest38647 | The problems were with nm_signal_handler, mn_dbus_init(), mn_print_open_socks() and nm_hal_deinit() | 22:16 |
| deany | fglrx and ATI. | 22:16 |
| deany | yeah.. I know.. ugh. ATI | 22:16 |
| crdlb | deany: ATI what, exactly? | 22:16 |
| Guest58908 | should i have a gui available after installing gsynaptic? | 22:16 |
| deany | 9800 | 22:16 |
| deany | primarily ising Mplayer/Smplayer | 22:16 |
| crdlb | deany: if you use the radeon driver and EXA, video will work | 22:16 |
| deany | using* | 22:16 |
| crdlb | otherwise, fglrx's Xvideo is completely broken | 22:17 |
| smithzv | runderwo: yes, they are both installed (checked via aptitude) | 22:17 |
| Jenk | GnuSense, Can you read me ? | 22:17 |
| deany | yeah, but i`d like to have 3d too. a game or 2 | 22:17 |
| Guest38647 | anyone help me install firmware for Broadcom B34 ?????????? | 22:17 |
| deany | i expected it to be.. thanks anyhow.. | 22:17 |
| crdlb | deany: if the radeon driver didn't support 3d, compiz wouldn't work :) (it's just not as good at is as fglrx) | 22:17 |
| deany | I can live without compiz. | 22:18 |
| Jenk | GnuSense, Can you still read me ? | 22:18 |
| deany | crdlb: yeah, like i said, games.. | 22:18 |
| jinja-sheep | deany: How can you? It's like living without the water... or the women. :( | 22:18 |
| newguy17 | so, basically what i need is to map the whole home directory to a samba share... is that a good idea? | 22:18 |
| deany | jinja-sheep: i`ll survive | 22:18 |
| jinja-sheep | newguy17: What are you trying to do? | 22:18 |
| GnuSense | Jenk, to copy over all the packages from a more complete system to a newly installed system I guess the first thing I would do is make a list of all the installed programs on the mature install. | 22:18 |
| Jenk | GnuSense,Ok, then ? | 22:19 |
| runderwo | smithzv: I don't think it's a dpi problem with your X server. It's just using the wrong fonts for some reason. | 22:19 |
| newguy17 | jinja-sheep, I'm not sure, but i heard that in windows, if you have a domain, the clients join the domain and all the work they do is stored in the server | 22:19 |
| me__ | Ubuntu 8.1 installed Sun JRE 6 via Synaptic Java Enabled in Firefox www.runescape.com is prompting me to install Java. Suggestions? | 22:19 |

| deany | worth a try. | 22:20 |
| runderwo | Guest38647: Was that the shutdown problem? | 22:20 |
| GnuSense | I'm trying to figure out the best "dpkg" command. Then I'd copy the apt cache from the older system to the newer system, Jenk | 22:20 |
| jinja-sheep | newguy17: Hmm. Out of my league. I am one-man army. | 22:20 |
| Guest38647 | i only got the functions, they were: | 22:20 |
| Jenk | GnuSense,All right.Then how do i..? | 22:21 |
| xTheGoat121x | runderwo, hmmmm interesting. On my laptop, it only shows the first 10 or so. | 22:21 |
| jinja-sheep | me__: Did you google? I'm sure the solution is in ubuntu forums. | 22:21 |
| Guest38647 | nm_signal_handler() nm_dbus_init() nm_print_open_socks and nm_hal_deinit() | 22:21 |
| runderwo | xTheGoat121x: It will start with about 10 lines (the last 10), then it will show everything new. | 22:21 |
| newguy17 | anyone knows? | 22:21 |
| shoeunited_away | I've an odd question: Is there an xchat script that works like ubottu available? I would like one like ubottu, but customized for a different room&server. | 22:21 |

| joeb3_ | Guest38647, install b43-fwcutter | 22:22 |
| Guest38647 | url? | 22:22 |
| runderwo | xTheGoat121x: You can prove it by, e.g., switching your rfkill switch on and then back off. | 22:22 |
| Guest38647 | I think i tried that btw | 22:22 |
| Guest38647 | maybe I installed the wrong version idk | 22:22 |

| totzilla | runderwo, now x is complaining about permissions on .Xauthority atm its owned by root so if i chown myusername .Xauthority and chmod +ug rw .Xauthority that should work shouldnt it | 22:23 |
| joeb3_ | Guest38647, use package manager or 'apt -get install b43-fwcutter' . | 22:23 |
| Jenk | GnuSense, You there? | 22:23 |
| Guest38647 | By the way my wireless card is 802.11 or something | 22:24 |
| GnuSense | Yes,. Jenk, I'm just trying to figure stuff out. | 22:24 |
| runderwo | totzilla: .Xauthority is in your home directory. It should be unique for each user who wants to start the X server. | 22:24 |
| quibbler | Jenk, is the hardware exactly the same for all 3 boxes? | 22:24 |
| Guest38647 | joeb3_, I do that cold? or do I need to download something first? | 22:24 |
| smithzv | runderwo: Okay. In the past I have explicitly set the gtk fonts to be bigger (in .gtkrc or something), which solved some of the problem, but caused another. When ever I ran a ssh tunnelled X app, the fonts on the remote machine would appear humongous. All I know is that I seem to pretty reasonable behavior if I "startx -- -dpi 112". Maybe I should disable GDM and put that in in a script run upon login? | 22:24 |
| runderwo | xTheGoat121x: You can try using logger to print something to the log and see if it shows up on the tail output. | 22:25 |
| Jenk | quibbler, no, not exactly. | 22:25 |
| xTheGoat121x | runderwo, yeah, it's not updating. dmesg on the tower I'm troubleshooting shows new messages when I put in a flash drive, but nothing on the laptop I'm using SSH from | 22:25 |
| GnuSense | The command "dpkg -l" will tell you what is installed on your current system. | 22:25 |
| totzilla | ok thanks runderwo | 22:25 |
| yaris123456789 | hey guys how do i use mv but let it overwrite the existing folder ? | 22:25 |
| runderwo | xTheGoat121x: And you used tail -f, not just tail? | 22:25 |
| joeb3_ | Guest38647, after installing it you run the b43-fwcutter command. I'm not on my laptop, so I don't have the exact commands. | 22:25 |
| runderwo | xTheGoat121x: I'm sorry, it's /var/log/messages you want, not dmesg | 22:26 |
| xTheGoat121x | runderwo, yup. But it just dawned on me... you needed me to log in as root, as well, right? | 22:26 |
| GnuSense | Jenk, you can make a text file with all the programs you have installed with this command: | 22:26 |
| GnuSense | dpkg -l|awk '/^ii/{print $2}'|awk '!/^lib/ {print}'>apps_installed.txt | 22:26 |
| runderwo | xTheGoat121x: Shouldn't matter. | 22:26 |
| runderwo | xTheGoat121x: As long as you aren't getting a permission denied. | 22:26 |
| xTheGoat121x | runderwo, okay. I'll tail that other file then | 22:26 |
| smithzv | runderwo: Thanks for your thoughts, I am still here as smithzv_ if you have any others... | 22:27 |
| Guest38647 | what version of b43-fwcutter do I need to download someone? | 22:27 |
| Jenk | quibbler, i mean i've got intrepid on two boxes.One has a whole lot o apps that i downloaded.I'd like to transfer them to the other box | 22:27 |
| runderwo | yaris123456789: You must use cp -R, not mv. | 22:27 |
| jinja-sheep | !clone | Jenk | 22:27 |
| ubottu | Jenk: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 22:27 |

| exodus_ms | I've been installing console applications. I have installed a few, some are diffenent applications for the same purpose. When using these command line applications, how can I get a list of these applications (not everyting installed on my system), just the command line programs installed | 22:27 |
| newguy17 | any samba expert in here? | 22:28 |
| xTheGoat121x | runderwo, all right, got it working. And I've got it set up to keep the connection alive. So we'll see. | 22:28 |
| runderwo | yaris123456789: cp will automatically overwrite existing files. | 22:28 |
| runderwo | xTheGoat121x: Good luck. Sometimes you get it that way, sometimes you end up having to go serial with it. | 22:28 |
| jinja-sheep | exodus_ms: Look in ~/.bash_history -- It'll show the list of *ALL* commands you made on your machine. | 22:28 |

| jinja-sheep | exodus_ms: The problem is it probably will list all the packages on the machine. You say you don't want that. The reasonable solution would be taking notes of the installed packages you made. | 22:30 |
| Jenk | GnuSense, is it going to download all the packages from the text file ? | 22:31 |

| arezey | yaris123456789, what does "type cp" say? | 22:36 |
| yaris123456789 | cp is aliased to `cp -i' | 22:36 |
| yaris123456789 | oh | 22:36 |
| yaris123456789 | i donno what that means aliaised | 22:37 |
| arezey | yaris123456789, that explains it... check your ~/.bashrc | 22:37 |
| exodus_ms | runderwo: should I take this on over to #bash? | 22:37 |
| arezey | yaris123456789, look for something like 'alias cp="cp -i"' and delete such lines | 22:37 |
| yaris123456789 | oh ok | 22:37 |
| jinja-sheep | What's the correct command to create deb file of <package?> | 22:37 |
| mib_a0bh8u | i edited my /etc/issue with an Ubuntu ASCII art, but the art is twisted... line1 is okay but the other lines are shifted | 22:37 |
| Jenk | jinja-sheep, spoonfeeeding required, i can't figure out. ^^ | 22:37 |
| yaris123456789 | no such directory | 22:37 |
| yaris123456789 | ~/.bashrc | 22:37 |
| arezey | yaris123456789, it's a file | 22:38 |
| jrib | yaris123456789: it's a good idea to have it aliased, you can use /bin/cp instead of cp for this time | 22:38 |
| jinja-sheep | Jenk: You may not be ready for Linux. =\ | 22:38 |
| jinja-sheep | Jenk: sudo aptitude install aptoncd | 22:38 |
| biouser | hoboman indeed it appears that I am :) | 22:38 |
| yaris123456789 | jrib: so how to do this | 22:38 |
| runderwo | exodus_ms: You'd have to take each file, pass it to dpkg -S to find what package it belong sto, and then check the mtime on /var/lib/dpkg/info/<package>.* to find when installed. | 22:38 |
| jinja-sheep | Jenk: After installation, look for APT-ON-CD somewhere in the menu. Run it. Save the ISO. | 22:38 |
| runderwo | exodus_ms: probably a job for perl. | 22:38 |
| GnuSense | !clone | 22:39 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 22:39 |
| jrib | yaris123456789: if you are sure you know what you are doing, just write '/bin/cp' instead of 'cp' in your command | 22:39 |
| exodus_ms | runderwo: ok, I'll certainly look into it, thank you! | 22:39 |
| yaris123456789 | '/bin/cp -fR ?' | 22:39 |
| arezey | yaris123456789, that could do it.. without the quotes of course. | 22:39 |
| runderwo | jinja-sheep: You need devscripts to build deb packages. | 22:39 |
| Jenk | jinja-sheep, thanks a lot. Then what to do with the iso. ? | 22:39 |
| yaris123456789 | ok | 22:39 |

| jinja-sheep | Jenk: Mount the USB on the two PCs. Run the deb first to install aptoncd. After installation is completed, you look for APT-ON-CD in the menu... start installing files from .ISO (or Image). | 22:46 |

| joeb3_ | spastic_teapot, Add the mount commands to the bottom of /etc/rc.local | 22:47 |

| elkbuntu | jinja-sheep, you dont show the list of ops to everyone, because it pings every op to get their attention, sometimes disrupting their work and sleep. | 23:21 |
| eno-el_tk | why my windows are not opening why i cant mount anything... why i cant instal anything on ubuntu.. | 23:21 |

| oskar- | ziggles, no, at the next login to that server you ill be asked to verify the key | 23:22 |
| eno-el_tk | jinja-sheep: please one think only... how i can uninstall ubuntu... so i can reinstal it later after i see what happend.. | 23:22 |
| jinja-sheep | eno-el_tk: You can't run Windows, right? | 23:22 |
| oskar- | ziggles, if you are not sure, whether it should have changed at the server, you should do it carefully | 23:23 |
| eno-el_tk | jinja-sheep: yes i cant run windows. | 23:23 |
| ziggles | oskar-: i think what happened is that IP used to be used by a different host (which is now offline) so the ip was reassigned to my new server | 23:23 |
| oskar- | ziggles, that seems to be a good explanation | 23:24 |
| jinja-sheep | eno-el_tk: Usually... to remove Ubuntu, you'd be installing over the HDD or... remove the Ubuntu partition from Windows. | 23:24 |

| K`zan | Has ubuntu overall dumped KDE3? KDE4 is *not* ready for prime time and 8.04 will not run on the new box? I really don't want to dump ubuntu, but it looks like I don't have a choice :-( ;-( :-( | 23:34 |
| habit | kitche, nope, when I'm using kde4 - gtk applications looks perfectly same, but here I can see bad adaptation and not for all applications. | 23:34 |
| miranda_psi | antonehammers: is the drive you are trying to copy to different from the installation? | 23:34 |
| antonehammers | yes | 23:34 |
| habit | kitche, just looking for config files. | 23:34 |
| K`zan | Just tried 8.10 to see if I could load 3.5 on top of that, not eve n here :-(. | 23:35 |
| miranda_psi | antonehammers: how did you mount the drive? | 23:35 |
| Circs | How do you clone your boot partition? | 23:35 |
| ivangarcia | habit, i am on kubuntu, | 23:35 |
| antonehammers | miranda_psi: used gparted and then some CLI given a documentation on ubuntu website | 23:36 |
| habit | ivangarcia, are you using interfaces file for networking or networkmanager? | 23:36 |
| zetheroo | I just got an mp5 player and plugged it into Ubuntu hardy and its not mounting ... | 23:36 |
| miranda_psi | antonehammers: did you add the drive into fstab? or mount it with the mount command? | 23:36 |
| oskar- | Circs, if needed i don't clone, i copy with "cp -ax" and reinstall grub | 23:36 |
| zetheroo | please help | 23:36 |
| Circs | oskar-: That sounds kind of heavy | 23:37 |
| antonehammers | yes, the drive is in fstab and mounted miranda_psi. | 23:37 |
| Circs | oskar-: Kind of like stabbing forth into the darkness sort of dealie. | 23:37 |
| K`zan | I'm all for KDE4, but it needs to be an update in some respect other than "pretty" over 3.5. The Kubuntu folks done screwed the pooch on this one :-(. | 23:37 |
| ivangarcia | habit, i'm using knetworkmanager | 23:37 |
| ivangarcia | but it cannot detect eth0, same than ifconfig | 23:37 |
| miranda_psi | antonehammers: can you put your fstab file up on pastebin and I'll see if i can figure out whats missing | 23:38 |
| kitche | habit: well there is no config file it's more of an option for a theme-engine like gtk-qt4-engine or something like that | 23:38 |
| K`zan | New distro time, I guess then, sigh. THanks anyhow folks. | 23:39 |
| Circs | oskar-: What is involved in reinstalling grub? Aneurysms? | 23:39 |
| oskar- | !grub | Circs | 23:40 |
| ubottu | Circs: 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 | 23:40 |

| meow1 | hi, anyone know how i could copy an ubuntu install from a bootable usb drive to my internal drive? | 23:40 |
| dsdeiz | hi, how do i know what groups have access to a certain dir? e.g. www has access to /var/www/ | 23:40 |
| antonehammers | miranda_psi: http://pastebin.com/d21276fa9 | 23:41 |
| Circs | oskar-: Hopefully, this is sounding like I'm in over my head. :) | 23:41 |
| oskar- | Circs, maybe you can avoid it? why do you think you have to clone the boot partition? | 23:42 |
| soreau | Hey, how do you add stuff to the default run level in ubuntu, like stuff in /etc/init.d/blah with rc-update in gentoo? | 23:42 |
| Circs | oskar-: I have a mini 9 and am upgrading the SSD | 23:42 |
| antonehammers | miranda_psi: well i just noticed the partition types don't match.... need to fix that at least | 23:42 |
| Circs | oskar-: They provide a nicely paved path for windows users and a kick in the teeth for linux users. | 23:43 |
| Raylz | Circs: who | 23:43 |
| oskar- | Circs, is it a quite normal pc? | 23:43 |
| miranda_psi | antonehammers: i see you have sda1 and adb1 - which one is causing the problem? or is it both? | 23:43 |
| dayo_ | dsdeiz: check /etc/group | 23:43 |
| troythetechguy | If I type alasamixer in a terminal, I can control both left & right speakers of USB headset, but if I try using the GNOME GUI to control volume only one channel increases. Ideas? | 23:43 |
| antonehammers | miranda_psi: sda1 | 23:43 |
| Circs | oskar-: No, unfortunately it's a netbook, meaning I lack an optical drive. | 23:43 |

| habit | ivangarcia, advice me please - which package contains part of color and style settings for kde @ systemsettings? | 23:44 |
| runderwo | soreau: etc | 23:44 |
| Circs | oskar-: Otherwise i would have booted with a live cd and just had at it with gparted and seen if it worked. | 23:44 |
| jedi06 | why does smbclient -L //server -U user try to connect to 63.251.179... some ip not on my subnet? | 23:44 |
| oskar- | Circs, yes... maybe that make it a bit more difficult. but you can try to copy data and try it without loosing anything (except time ;-) ), right? | 23:45 |
| jasonWagstaff | i have had three drive fail on me in the past 2 weeks they are all within 3 monhts old and was curious if there are any good testing tools to see if there is a real problem with the drive or something retarded i have done | 23:46 |
| oskar- | jedi06, the syntax is: smbclient -L server or smbclient //server/share | 23:46 |
| jedi06 | all i'm trying to do is mount a folder on my windows machine on my linux machine | 23:46 |

| runderwo | jedi06: what does 'host server' tell you? | 23:46 |
| jedi06 | oskar- i was going by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 23:46 |
| soreau | runderwo: Thanks, but it's telling me the file simply does not exist (when it most certainly does) | 23:46 |
| jasonWagstaff | runderwo: can i run this from ubuntu live? | 23:47 |
| oskar- | jedi06, if you use a newer ubuntu, it is some sort of "mounted" under ~/.gvfs | 23:47 |
| runderwo | jasonWagstaff: See if it has smartctl. I don't think it did last time I tried. | 23:47 |
| oskar- | jedi06, after accessing the share in nautilus | 23:47 |
| runderwo | soreau: which file doesn't exist? | 23:47 |
| jedi06 | gives me 63.251.179... and 8.15... | 23:47 |
| jasonWagstaff | ruderwo: thanks for the advice | 23:47 |
| soreau | runderwo: The one I just created | 23:47 |
| jedi06 | i think that is my isp dns | 23:47 |

| runderwo | jedi06: Put an entry for 'server' in /etc/hosts | 23:48 |
| soreau | Ahh | 23:48 |
| antonehammers | i forgot that edit fstab command | 23:48 |
| runderwo | jedi06: So that it doesn't go ask the ISP who 'server' is. | 23:49 |
| antonehammers | sudo nano something | 23:49 |
| oskar- | jedi06, smb is not only for local networks, does the name somehow resolve to the ip? | 23:49 |
| soreau | runderwo: I didn't notice it prefixes /etc/init.d automagically ;) | 23:49 |
| runderwo | soreau: yep ;) | 23:49 |

| antonehammers | miranda_psi: no, it didn't work | 23:53 |
| miranda_psi | antonehammers: did you unmount it and remount it? | 23:53 |
| deagle | does anyone here use Tilda? | 23:53 |
| Mar--tin | deagle: Yea. | 23:53 |
| antonehammers | no. k one sec again | 23:53 |
| jedi06 | ok i added jordanXP to my address of my machine and i can ping it but it timesout connecting | 23:53 |
| soreau | runderwo: Yea, according to the man page it should :p | 23:54 |
| deagle | Mar--tin: do you sometimes get a white terminal with nothing showing when you pull it down? | 23:54 |
| oskar- | Jaffarkelshac, you mean the letters and colours, right? | 23:54 |
| Mar--tin | deagle: Never had that problem. | 23:54 |
| deagle | :s | 23:54 |
| Jaffarkelshac | yeah, its all sorta messed up oskar- | 23:55 |
| Dante123 | i am running 8.10, what do I need to download (source,headers) to compile a wireless driver? | 23:55 |
| Mar--tin | deagle: I now remember once. | 23:55 |
| deagle | how'd you solve it? | 23:55 |
| TiZ | deagle, I use it too. And yes, I occasionally do. | 23:55 |
| Mar--tin | Just collapsed it and restored it and it worked. | 23:55 |
| nickrud | Dante123, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) will get you the headers need | 23:55 |
| TiZ | I just scroll in the window, and it comes back | 23:55 |
| oskar- | Jaffarkelshac, i had something like that once with a defect ati 9600 | 23:55 |
| ivangarcia | habit , i don't know which package contains part of color and style | 23:55 |
| deagle | TiZ, Mar--Tin: I get nothing after doing that | 23:56 |
| antonehammers | miranda_psi: still no luck! | 23:56 |
| antonehammers | =[ | 23:56 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i have a nvidia 7300gt | 23:56 |
| deagle | TiZ, Mar--Tin: happens often too :S | 23:56 |
| oskar- | Jaffarkelshac, does it occur also with deactivated desktop effects? | 23:56 |
| Mar--tin | deagle: In that case I don't know, sorry. | 23:56 |
| Dante123 | nickrud just exactly that sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) or do I have to put something in the parenthesis | 23:56 |
| TiZ | deagle, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 23:56 |
| miranda_psi | antonehammers: ok - what fo you get from "ls -l" for the folder its mounted in? | 23:56 |
| deagle | TiZ: 8.10 | 23:56 |
| Jaffarkelshac | that is what i thought, but it still happens oskar- | 23:57 |
| jedi06 | should i try to connect directly to the machine or to the router? | 23:57 |
| TiZ | That's the one I'm using. Hmm. | 23:57 |
| jedi06 | using smbclient | 23:57 |
| deagle | Mar--tin: oh well, thanks anyways | 23:57 |
| Snipermaster002 | hi could somone help me? | 23:57 |
| === Mar--tin is now known as Marty | ||
| antonehammers | miranda_psi: not sure what that mean. i'm still pretty linux dumb | 23:58 |
| nickrud | Dante123, if you run uname -r in a terminal, you'll see it lists the running kernel. The $(uname -r) runs the command, and tacks it onto the linux-headers to complete the package name. You can run echo linux-headers-$(uname -r) to check | 23:58 |
| jinja-sheep | !ask | Snipermaster002 | 23:58 |
| ubottu | Snipermaster002: 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. :-) | 23:58 |
| oskar- | Jaffarkelshac, ok... but i would although have a look, if maybe the gpu is getting too hot, a defect fan or something | 23:58 |
| Snipermaster002 | ok srry | 23:58 |
| Snipermaster002 | ok so | 23:58 |
| antonehammers | i ran ls -l but don't get anything about drives | 23:58 |
| Snipermaster002 | I'm using Ubuntu and Windows XP as OS on my computer. Ubuntu is running well but my Windows could not start ( suspected infected by virus). Can anyone out there, help me fixing this problems using Ubuntu. it loads fine and its about to start up and you know how its a blue screen with a windows logo. yah it gets stuck tehr. | 23:58 |
| oskar- | Jaffarkelshac, it seems to be a hardware issue to me | 23:58 |
| miranda_psi | antonehammers: ok - go "cd /media" then "ls -l" and tell me what the output is for the line for server1 | 23:58 |
| Snipermaster002 | so.???........... | 23:59 |
| jhirley | do you know it is a virus ? | 23:59 |
| TiZ | I've been trying to get some help in assessing the realistic health of my hard drive. So far, I haven't yet had any. I have a forum thread... can I bother anyone to look at it? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1041839 I apologize if this is not an accepted thing to do. | 23:59 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i thought it was intrepid related, coz it started when i upgraded oskar- | 23:59 |
| jhirley | can you mount the partition ? | 23:59 |
| Snipermaster002 | no i dont but im like 70 percent sure its a virus | 23:59 |
| jedi06 | can someone help me set up filesharing using smbclient windows host/ubuntu client (no desktop) | 23:59 |
| jinja-sheep | Snipermaster002: Sounds like Windows issue. You may have better luck with #windows because they would know how to fix the MBR. This is more of Ubuntu-oriented. | 23:59 |
| Dante123 | nickrud okay I did that. then tried running make again. here is the error log from terminal http://pastebin.ca/1311244 | 23:59 |
