| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 00:00 |

| gillroy | i can no longer run as root via "sudo -l" under ubuntu studio 8.10 as i did in 8.04 - did something change? | 00:01 |
| nickrud | Dante123, i'd guess that was an error in the source, a sec | 00:01 |

| [TK]D-Fender | Hello all, still jsut learning Ubuntu+Gnome and had a quick Q : I Consolidated down to 1 panel, Windows-style, and am looking at the Menus now. How much can I move things around without blowing stuff up or causing apps I try to install later not to know where to put launcher and find them getting "lost in space", etc? | 00:01 |
| Jaffarkelshac | if no one is responding likely no one can help you capricorn^80 | 00:02 |
| antonehenry | miranda_psi: you will have to walk me through that too.,.. =[ sorry | 00:02 |
| gillroy | sudo -l? | 00:02 |
| miranda_psi | antonehammers: just add it to the fstab file after the umask and then unmount and remount the drive | 00:02 |
| Dante123 | nickrud I am trying to compile the zd1211 vendor driver for my wireless usb dongle | 00:02 |
| antonehenry | miranda_psi: okay- thanks. | 00:03 |
| Dante123 | nickrud it supports using the adapter as an AP | 00:03 |
| AaronX | can anyone help me get a prism2 card running on 8.10 with hostap? | 00:03 |
| [TK]D-Fender | More specific question, I haven't found the origin of the "Places" menu just yet for the though of restructuring. | 00:03 |
| Dante123 | nickrud but not if you use the standard zd1211rw driver | 00:03 |
| gillroy | how can i get access to the root account on my machine. and yes, i really really want to. | 00:03 |
| [TK]D-Fender | gillroy: "sudo su -" | 00:04 |
| jhirley | sudo su | 00:04 |
| Nomexous | gillroy: Do you mean sudo -l is failing, or that it doesn't show you want commands you can execute? | 00:04 |
| jinja-sheep | [TK]D-Fender: Just remove the panel. You can always add/remove objects to the panel by right-click on the panel and "Add to..." | 00:04 |
| antonehenry | miranda_psi: actually, what is the "unmask" | 00:04 |
| nickrud | Dante123, struct sk_buff, look for it's definition in the code. it should have a member mac . But that doesn't sound like a kernel header problem | 00:04 |
| jedi06 | I can't smbclient -L //192.168... -U user saiys failed Called name not presest and NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED | 00:04 |
| [TK]D-Fender | jinja-sheep: But if I want to keep "menu's" but rather restructure it, whats my breakage risk? | 00:04 |
| gillroy | <[TK]D-Fender: thanks | 00:05 |
| jhirley | anyone have a working background changer script ? | 00:05 |
| jedi06 | should i be using the ip of the computer i'm targeting or the gateway of the rueter | 00:05 |
| jinja-sheep | [TK]D-Fender: Nothing. You're paranoid. :) | 00:05 |
| miranda_psi | antonehammers: its not unmash - its umask and its sets the mask of the folder - effectivily setting the permissions on the folder | 00:05 |
| Dante123 | nickrud i have no idea on how to do what you just said. I think this is over my head. | 00:05 |
| kavelot | after I updated ubuntu, it seems it lost many -dbg packages, so I'm not getting to compile some programs as debug... any ideas on how to fix that? | 00:05 |
| AaronX | no one knows about hostap? | 00:05 |
| oskar- | jedi06, it is yet smbclient -L 192.168.... doesn't that work either? | 00:05 |
| jhirley | But they are out to get you | 00:05 |
| nickrud | Dante123, heh. compiling kernel code can be daunting | 00:05 |
| [TK]D-Fender | jinja-sheep: Yes, but that doesn't mean I haven't broken it this way before :) I'm just trying not to FUBAR myself. | 00:05 |
| quibbler | [TK]D-Fender, just right click and choose edit....then add remove move what you want | 00:06 |
| jinja-sheep | [TK]D-Fender: You can drag anything to your liking. Add/remove anything too. | 00:06 |
| antonehenry | miranda_psi: i don't have any sort of group | 00:06 |
| Dante123 | nickrud i noticed that the source is in synaptic for zd1211 and selecting it downloads some tools or additional software....will dl that and then try command again | 00:06 |
| marcelo_ | I am using irssi and I am not able to change the channel with alt 1,2 or esc 1,2 etc, Does anyone know why? I have tried #irssi and noboby knows what is happening. | 00:07 |
| [TK]D-Fender | jinja-sheep: And if I move/rename a submenu name and go to install a nother app, where do its launchers end up, etc? | 00:07 |
| nickrud | Dante123, if it's in the packaging system, it should compile itself if it's using dkms | 00:07 |
| [TK]D-Fender | jinja-sheep: And I really can't seem to see the "places" menu in "menus" at all... right clickiing offers to let me edit the panel, but all I see is Applications & System | 00:07 |
| matt_ | I got my bluetooth adapter working with my phone and headset in kubuntu 8.10. I like the look of blueproximity. However...it won't detect any of the devices...even though they're already paired. | 00:08 |
| miranda_psi | antonehammers: every user under linux also has a group - do a ls -l in /home and look at your folders entry and the first name there is your username and the second will be your group | 00:08 |
| jinja-sheep | [TK]D-Fender: The applications on the list... all of them are launchers. | 00:08 |
| mar77i | http://pastebin.com/me093b3d -- what's wrong with my installation? | 00:08 |
| jinja-sheep | [TK]D-Fender: Are you talking about System --> Preferences --> Main Menu? | 00:08 |
| [TK]D-Fender | jinja-sheep: Yes, I know. I'm talking, lets say I go with Synaptic to install something NEW. The app had a default place in the menus to deposit the new Shortcut. Now if I've got and restructured everything, where will it put it? | 00:09 |
| Dante123 | nickrud i'm lost now. ran make again same thing. I don't know how to install this driver | 00:09 |
| kavelot | after I updated ubuntu, it seems it lost many -dbg packages, so I'm not getting to compile some programs as debug... any ideas on how to fix that? | 00:09 |
| antonehenry | miranda_psi: okay, this is just taking forever to unmount | 00:09 |

| jedi06 | oskar- ^ | 00:09 |
| Dante123 | nickrud here is what I am trying to follow http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/VendorBasedDriver | 00:09 |
| nickrud | Dante123, you need to find where the new source was placed. dpkg -L <pkgname> | 00:09 |
| jinja-sheep | [TK]D-Fender: Same place. They are launchers // other word for shortcuts. | 00:09 |
| Nomexous | mar77i: Looks like the *.o object files were compiled on a different computer | 00:09 |
| ESphynx | Hey guys, why is the .deb package I downloaded that I want to install is greyed out in Synaptic ? | 00:10 |
| oskar- | jedi06, and it is wrong | 00:10 |
| Nomexous | mar77i: Are you using make to compile? | 00:10 |
| [TK]D-Fender | jinja-sheep: And If I mangle the groups, and I install a new app that comes witha new launcher and the place it would LIKE to put it "no longer exists", what will happen? | 00:10 |
| jedi06 | ok oskar- they both give the wrong results trying to connect directly to the computer or connecting to the gateway | 00:10 |
| burkmat | Any obvious downsides to taking my hdd, putting it in another computer, installing Ubuntu Server 8.04 on it and then putting it back in the original machine? Both machines are AMD64. | 00:10 |

| jinja-sheep | Empty group, that is. | 00:11 |

| TiZ | How can I get GParted to resize an NTFS partition with bad sectors on it? | 00:11 |
| DBO | jinja-sheep, just so you know, Jenks ban is lifted, let me know if you have problems again =) | 00:11 |
| antonehenry | miranda_psi: is it "gid-groupname" or "gid=groupname" | 00:11 |
| oskar- | jedi06, do you get a connection if you "telnet 192.168.... 445" ? | 00:11 |
| jinja-sheep | DBO: Thanks. :) | 00:11 |
| Tekumel | Anybody here aware of anything unusual that needs to be done to get 8.10 to recognize a Sil3112-connected HD on install? When I reach 4 of 7 (gparted), it comes up with no drives. Complete newb here. :( | 00:11 |
| ESphynx | Jack_Sparrow: manually | 00:11 |

| HiggsBoson | How can I get a cool deskbar at my destop | 00:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ESphynx, then that is the reason it does not show up in synaptic. best to use one from supported repos | 00:12 |
| jedi06 | oskar- nope i need a server on windows then | 00:12 |
| [TK]D-Fender | jinja-sheep: Ok, so I'll likely pay a price in continued maintenance to keep structures the way I want them. As longs as I see the price to pay... and for question #2? I get tot he "Menus" config boox but can never see the "Places" section shown on the panel | 00:12 |
| bazhang | !awn | HiggsBoson | 00:12 |

| ActionParsnip | hey all, I run alltray to keep thunderbird running but out of the way, Is there a command I can run to make it come back as if i'd clicked on it, kinda like a minimise / restore but to alltray | 00:13 |
| TiZ | Jack_Sparrow: Of course not. But it's not like I can afford to buy a new hard drive at the moment. | 00:13 |
| TiZ | Or maybe ever. I don't know. | 00:13 |
| oskar- | jedi06, maybe the server doesn't listen on that port or a firewall/packet filter blocks the traffic | 00:14 |
| nickrud | !doesntwork | 00:14 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 00:14 |
| jinja-sheep | [TK]D-Fender: If you want to hide Applications / Places / System. You could remove it from the panel and Add "Main Menu" -- Rather than restructuring everything all times. Quite hassle and pointless, really. :) | 00:14 |
| funkyHat | Jack_Sparrow: thanks for your help earlier. I'm still getting crashes with acpi and apic off though, so maybe I damaged something, or maybe the chipset on the board is really bad | 00:14 |

| oskar- | zetheroo, and it needed no drivers in xp? | 00:17 |
| CaptainMorgan | Brack10, ps -aux might give you an idea of what's running... maybe deducing from there - at least what I see is mostly root, in addition myself | 00:17 |
| jedi06 | oskar- ^ | 00:17 |
| [TK]D-Fender | jinja-sheep: Thanks for your input. | 00:17 |
| miranda_psi | antonehammers: just look and make sure that you are set as the owner - maybe try using chown on it before mounting next time... good luck | 00:17 |

| funkyHat | Jack_Sparrow: hehe, yeah you're probably right. He said he could pick up another one for me if I needed it so I'll ask him to do that I think | 00:27 |
| Tekumel | Jack_Sparrow: I'll give it a shot. | 00:27 |
| dr_Willis | donavan_, i would guess off hand that if you are using compiz, its some how reversed the keys. or something else has reversed the ctrl and alt keys. | 00:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | funkyHat, mb for 478 are as cheap as $20 | 00:27 |
| nickrud | Fernand20, sudo a2enmod userdir , sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart , and the dir's $HOME/public_html will be served | 00:27 |
| TiZ | Jack_Sparrow: You assume that I have somewhere to backup my data to. And of course, you're trumping up negativity. Both typical of computer guys. :( Please, get serious, and get realistic, and tell me what I should do. | 00:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | funkyHat, that was a 478 if my memory hasnt gone completely right | 00:27 |
| Fernand20 | nickrud i will try | 00:28 |
| TiZ | I include myself in those who trump up negativity, by the way. | 00:28 |
| TiZ | I'm trying to not do that as much. | 00:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TiZ, Im not trumping up negativity. You are flat out wrong in what you are trying to do. Drives are cheap.. deal with your hardware issue. It isnt a Ubuntu support issue | 00:28 |
| donavan_ | dr_willis: seems like it but the alt/ctrl keys seem to function some what normally other than that ... the main issue is that I can select multiple files or items and its really annoying | 00:29 |
| TiZ | Jack_Sparrow: "Cheap?" We're talking $75 dollars to replace my drive. I'm poor. I may not be able to come up with it. With that said, though, you are right. It is not an ubuntu issuel. | 00:29 |
| TiZ | issue* | 00:29 |
| TiZ | U.S dollars, that is. | 00:30 |
| Alejandr0_82 | I guess I'll head back to the forums to search for tips about the audio issue.. | 00:30 |
| Fernand20 | nickrud a2enmod have to make that for each user or can i do something for all users enamble that and new users too? | 00:30 |
| Alejandr0_82 | have a pleasant evening | 00:30 |
| [TK]D-Fender | ok, well I'm out for a while. Thanks again to all. | 00:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TiZ, I have several friends with drives that I can borrow for a backup for free. I assume you might find one as well. | 00:30 |
| AaronX | anyone know how I could blacklist the wlan-ng driver? | 00:31 |
| === sorrow is now known as Charitwo | ||
| nickrud | Fernand20, that enables all users to have that public_html address. You would access it with http://localhost/~Fernand20 , if your username here is the same as on the machine | 00:31 |
| Snipermaster002 | could somone help me | 00:31 |
| Fernand20 | nickrud i will try right now | 00:31 |
| oskar- | TiZ, what is your data worth? i would take it back or invest for a new if my main hard drive had only one sector error | 00:31 |
| Snipermaster002 | heloo? | 00:32 |
| ziggles | Guys, stupid question... but if im setting up a few ubuntu boxes @ home, should i say they belong to a domain? | 00:32 |
| ziggles | hi Snipermaster002 | 00:32 |
| TiZ | Jack_Sparrow, one would assume that all of your friends are techies. If this is the case, of course they have spare drives. I am not so lucky. My friends are computer-competent, but we don't have spare hard drives. In any case, it's completely unproductive arguing with you about such... trite stuff. I don't like arguing with people trying to help me. I apologize. :( | 00:32 |
| donavan_ | anyone know if there is a program that will show the output of what key I hit on the key board | 00:32 |
| Snipermaster002 | hi ziggles | 00:32 |
| Snipermaster002 | ok | 00:32 |
| Snipermaster002 | could we pm | 00:32 |
| xtmnx | anyone know if there's a way to move the status bar in firefox to the same line where the address bar is? | 00:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TiZ, and as you agreed. not a ubuntu support issue | 00:33 |
| grkblood13 | hey, i have an .mdf and i d/led mdf2iso, when i run the prog it says that the .mdf is already an ISO9660 file though, any tips? | 00:33 |
| TiZ | oskar-: My hard drive came with my laptop. It's about 1.5 years old. And as I said, I'm poor. There is a high chance we won't have money to replace it. | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | does anyone in here use alltray to dock apps, I have a lil nugget of gold for you if you do | 00:33 |
| TiZ | Jack_Sparrow: Yes, of course. Sorry about that. I'll pop into ##hardware. | 00:33 |
| hughit | hello can some one help me out, im new to linux | 00:33 |
| oskar- | TiZ, then return it to the vendor. it is a warranty issue | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | hughit | 00:34 |
| ubottu | hughit: 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. :-) | 00:34 |
| grkblood13 | acutally, i jsut changed the file name to .iso and the files are now showing up, but when i run the autorun in wine it says theres not enough memory | 00:34 |
| jinja-sheep | ActionParsnip: Anything you would like me to try with alltray? I want the gold. :) | 00:34 |
| jinja-sheep | ActionParsnip: I can install it... if that's the case. | 00:34 |
| TiZ | oskar-: Warranty's run out. And besides, returning it to the vendor means my data disappears forever. | 00:34 |
| quibbler | ActionParsnip, yes...I can ue gold | 00:34 |
| quibbler | *use | 00:35 |
| hughit | im trying to use skype on my computer but the microphone isnt picking up my voice. <i tried using an external mic and it works.. its the microphone thats in the laptop that doesnt | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | jinja-sheep: it allows you to send apps that sit in the program list to the system tray, like thunderbird doesnt run there, it runs in the app list | 00:35 |
| grkblood13 | any1 know y? | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | quibbler: dude you can assign a hot key to bring it out and back into the tray | 00:36 |
| oskar- | TiZ, yes, that's right... but nearly every hard drive vendor gives at least two year warranty | 00:36 |
| jinja-sheep | ActionParsnip: I see the info on that one. But I'm asking if you would want me to test something for you. I'm trying to be a helping hand here. Lol. | 00:36 |
| hughit | anyone? | 00:36 |
| TiZ | oskar-: Hard drive vendor? I suppose Seagate might. But not Gateway, who made my laptop. | 00:36 |
| oskar- | TiZ, maybe you can get a spare drive somewhere and then get finally a new one for free | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | quibbler: here's what i use, F14 is my virtual F key | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | quibbler: alltray --key F14 thunderbird | 00:36 |
| grkblood13 | how about this, i mounted the iso to a directory i made and now its saying i cant copy hte files bc they are read only, ive tried chmoding them but it wont work | 00:37 |
| TiZ | oskar-: I've already asked my friends if they have any spare laptop hard drives. No one does. :/ | 00:37 |
| Fernand20 | nickrud i have wrote sudo a2enmod userdir , sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart but i dont see public_html folder | 00:37 |
| hughit | anyone use skype with a built in microphone in their laptop? if so can u please help me out | 00:37 |
| Invisoman | might I be able to get some sound/video help? | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | jinja-sheep: oh it works, just sharing my knowledge | 00:37 |
| nickrud | Fernand20, you do have to create the folder for each person, sorry. mkdir ~/<usrname>/public_html | 00:37 |
| jinja-sheep | ActionParsnip: The apps looks good. I'm testing it. | 00:37 |
| jinja-sheep | ActionParsnip: Thanks. :) | 00:37 |
| Fernand20 | nickrud for new users have i to create? or will appear automatic? | 00:38 |
| Invisoman | I can get music to play in rhythm box but no audio anywhere else | 00:38 |
| oskar- | TiZ, is the drive really from gateway? never heard of it as a hd vendor | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | jinja-sheep: stuff you want out of the way you can shove down there with alltray, thunderbird is a good example | 00:38 |
| grkblood13 | i must be following upon death ears, lols | 00:38 |
| quibbler | ActionParsnip, I use an extension firetray in firefox and thunderbird...does the samewhen I minimize | 00:38 |
| Invisoman | any help with that? | 00:38 |
| nickrud | Fernand20, no, each person needs to create their own one. However .... | 00:38 |
| oskar- | TiZ, but you have to decide yourself. noone here want to make directions to you... | 00:39 |
| jinja-sheep | quibbler: It only run as long as Thunderbird is open. | 00:39 |
| jinja-sheep | quibbler: The con on that part, I imagine. | 00:39 |
| Fernand20 | nickrud i think, i need a script for when i create a user, create a directory or is the some placer where i should do that for when i create a user appear that automatic? | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | quibbler: this does ALL apps, not just the specific one. Plus ity lets you assign a hotkey to max / min the app | 00:40 |
| grkblood13 | how do i check my ram? | 00:40 |
| oskar- | gn8 | 00:40 |
| soreau | All I need to do is have a script run as root when ubuntu boots. How can I do this? | 00:40 |
| nickrud | Fernand20, if you add the dir public_html to /etc/skel, that dir will be created for each user when you add the new user | 00:40 |
| Invisoman | How do I get sounds to play in apps? | 00:40 |
| sketch2002 | I think this should be pretty easy for someone with a bit of experience... When I first installed Ubuntu the graphics were pretty good but I wanted to use the 3d acceleration of my NVIDIA card. After installing the drivers that the hardware drivers screen brought up I restarted and lost all UI. I googled the situation and found lots of people with similar problems and eventually figured out how to get it to at least give me back the UI, | 00:40 |
| sketch2002 | but I'm stuck with a much worse resolution than the default installation had. I never thought to make a backup of xorg.conf. Can anyone help me find a way to make ubuntu revert back to the original settings? | 00:40 |
| Invisoman | I can get music from rhythm box | 00:40 |
| Invisoman | but no where else | 00:40 |
| Fernand20 | nickrud i will check that file | 00:40 |
| mib_ynqjqr | hello | 00:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TiZ, Any kind of drive connected to a $15 usb adapter will work for your needs | 00:41 |
| Tekumel | Jack_Sparrow: all_generic_ide before the -- made no difference | 00:41 |
| mib_ynqjqr | is this where we go for support? | 00:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 00:41 |
| TiZ | oskar-: Gateway is who made my laptop. Seagate did the hard drive. I'm not looking for people to make decisions for me. I'm just looking for advice, with consideration to the fact that I'm poor. | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: just use sudo <CLI command> or gksudo <gui app> | 00:41 |
| quibbler | ActionParsnip, I use alltray for other things, but I didn't know you could assogn keys...I can get rid of the extensions | 00:41 |
| Fernand20 | nickrud in skel folder should i create public_html folder? | 00:41 |
| TiZ | I'm in ##hardware right now. This doesn't have anything to do with ubuntu; you guys don't need to help me. | 00:42 |
| nickrud | Fernand20, yes | 00:42 |
| mib_ynqjqr | for some reason windows boot manager isnt starting | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | quibbler: yeah man, its great for keyboards with multimedia keys | 00:42 |
| TiZ | Of course, I'm grateful that you are, but I'm not asking it. | 00:42 |
| mib_ynqjqr | it goes straight to vista | 00:42 |
| Androidfan68 | hello peeps | 00:42 |
| Fernand20 | nickrud thanks, i will try | 00:42 |
| nickrud | Fernand20, I was pretty sure of that (hadn't done it in years) so I added the dir and added a user between the However.... and telling you how to do it | 00:42 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: I don't want to have to enter my password. I tried to write a script for /etc/init.d/my.script but the rules are way more rigid than in gentoo and it simply does not work | 00:42 |
| quibbler | ActionParsnip, I'll give it a try....thank man! | 00:43 |
| Fernand20 | nickrud i will add some user to try | 00:43 |
| HiggsBoson | why my squid get errors when load on boot? | 00:43 |
| mib_ynqjqr | -_- | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: you could log in as root but it will compromise your system security greatly | 00:43 |
| Androidfan68 | so will windows 7 kill of linux lol | 00:43 |
| mib_ynqjqr | everyone is a bot | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: once your system is setup you rarely use sudo | 00:43 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: Are you crazy man? | 00:43 |
| Invisoman | are there any free people who wouldn't mind helping me? | 00:43 |
| sketch2002 | mib_... I'm not a bot, hang on, I might be able to help | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask Invisoman | 00:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask Invisoman | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | Invisoman | 00:43 |
| ubottu | Invisoman: 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. :-) | 00:43 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: Do you know how horribly wrong things can get messed up if you log in as root? | 00:43 |
| Invisoman | I did | 00:44 |
| HiggsBoson | why my squid get errors when load on boot? | 00:44 |
| mib_ynqjqr | !ask !invisioman | 00:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask !invisioman | 00:44 |
| mib_ynqjqr | !ask | 00:44 |
| Invisoman | but everyone was focused on the Hardware | 00:44 |
| Invisoman | question | 00:44 |
| mib_ynqjqr | !ask !invisioman | 00:44 |
| grkblood13 | has any1 attempted to install crysis | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: preaching to the choir dude, i rant at folks in here who do | 00:44 |
| mib_ynqjqr | anyone know how to start windows boot manager again? | 00:44 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: Well IMHO you should never suggest it | 00:45 |
| Tekumel | Anyone else have any ideas on how to get a single SATA HD connected to a Sil3112 (mobo is Asus A7N8X) recognized by gparted? It's recognized at the bios/controller level, can't get it seen in Ubuntu | 00:45 |
| baz | just out of curiosity, why is it that "paste" in terminal is not ctrl+v like verywhere else? | 00:45 |
| sketch2002 | mib_ so the problem is you don't get the list of "start linux", "start windows", etc... when you first start up? maybe try pressing F8 repeatedly at start up, if you see the loading winxp, obviously it failed | 00:45 |
| Invisoman | anyone know how to set up audio so it works in all apps, not just rhythm box? | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: im saying its an option | 00:45 |
| soreau | No it isn't | 00:45 |
| mib_ynqjqr | i tried the f8 | 00:45 |
| soreau | Ever | 00:45 |
| mib_ynqjqr | it just skips the windows boot manager and goes straight to vista | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: well it is as it CAN be done. Its just not advised | 00:45 |
| sketch2002 | k, then let me throw a monitor on my other box (was trying to figure out my problem with it connected to this one) and see if I can find the answer | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: you can use UIDS to make certain apps not need sudo | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: why are you so averted to using sudo? | 00:46 |
| Lando-SpacePimp | Surprise, cockfags! | 00:46 |
| Fernand20 | nickrud oh man, its work! thank you :D | 00:46 |
| soreau | All's I want to do is add a script to be run as root when ubuntu boots. In gentoo, it's as simple as adding a script in /etc/init.d to the default runlevel. For ubuntu, it complains there is no LSB style header and doesn't work at all | 00:47 |

| nickrud | Thanks Charitwo | 00:47 |
| squillyum | can anyone help me with an ubuntu problem? | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: is that what you wanted, if you add scripts to those they will be executed as root as only root has access to the rc stuffs | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | squillyum | 00:48 |

| soreau | ActionParsnip: Yea, usually I use /etc/rc.local but that is either running my script at the wrong time, or just failing | 00:48 |
| squillyum | lol | 00:48 |
| Charitwo | np, nick. he's been a pain in wikia related channels before, thought it was strange he'd come here | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: have the script output text to a file as it runs with info | 00:48 |
| Invisoman | I can get music to play in rhythm box, but no sound in any other apps, any help? | 00:48 |
| dr_Willis | soreau, ive to put a delay in rc.local tomake sure stuff gets ran after other things have ran.. but itt depends on wha tyou are doing | 00:49 |

| soreau | ActionParsnip: That's not a bad idea really.. but where would the output end up? | 00:49 |
| soreau | dr_Willis: Hey, I didn't think of doing that with rc.local.. | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: wherever you say, add lines to echo text to some text file someplace with whats going on | 00:50 |
| soreau | nickrud: Yes, but it's warning no LSB style header, because the script is very simple.. too simple I guess | 00:50 |
| squillyum | someone help me please? words are not showing on my computer and it's annoying. >_< http://i40.tinypic.com/118kbo0.png | 00:50 |

| dr_Willis | soreau, but rc.local is the last script that gets ran i recall... ;) | 00:51 |
| soreau | Thanks ActionParsnip dr_Willis I'll see what I can do | 00:51 |

| sketch2002 | I think this should be pretty easy for someone with a bit of experience... When I first installed Ubuntu the graphics were pretty good but I wanted to use the 3d acceleration of my NVIDIA card. After installing the drivers that the hardware drivers screen brought up I restarted and lost all UI. I googled the situation and found lots of people with similar problems and eventually figured out how to get it to at least give me back the UI, | 00:58 |
| sketch2002 | but I'm stuck with a much worse resolution than the default installation had. I never thought to make a backup of xorg.conf. Can anyone help me find a way to make ubuntu revert back to the original settings? | 00:58 |
| w3wsrmn | ivangarcia: you can compile your own kernel if the stock doesn't work for you. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 00:58 |
| Brack10 | smil3y: so it's also the best for linux file sharing too? | 00:58 |

| Claire2009 | sorcererbob - do you know how to read dvd-rs backed up in windows in ubuntu? | 01:05 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip dr_Willis I just don't get it. I've verified rc.local is running, but it doesn't seem to run the contents of the script I put in there even with a delay or.. it's just running as user somehow | 01:05 |
| vigo | On first boot of any alpha/beta system or program, make another backup.... | 01:05 |
| ivangarcia | w3wsrmn, so if u'll be me, u'll recompile the kernel ? | 01:05 |
| grkblood13 | does any1 knwo why im getting an installaware prompt when using wine | 01:05 |
| jedi06 | using smbclient do i have to specify which ethernet card it uses? | 01:05 |
| K`zan | OK, sigh, giving straight ubuntu a go, looking for "geda" in synaptic - it isn't there, but if I do an "apt-cache search geda" it finds it all, what am I doing wrong? | 01:05 |
| deepfriedsquirre | The UUID and device number of my Ubuntu partition changed because of a new partition witha lower number. Is it safe to change the partition's UUID? | 01:05 |
| whompapotamus | Brack10 - Linux Journal (for the last 3 magazines) has a GREAT Samaba tutorial (check their site, I believe it covers AD) | 01:05 |
| smil3y | Claire2009, no experience with archive disks, i do know that ntfs can be READ but not written to though, sorry | 01:06 |
| dr_Willis | soreau, you did put the command Befor the 'exit' command in rc.local ? | 01:06 |
| w3wsrmn | ivangarcia: aye, i'd try that first | 01:06 |
| Claire2009 | smil3y - how do you enable ntfs to be read in ubuntu? | 01:06 |
| jedi06 | i have two eth cards one configured to be on the subnet other is on a private network so if say smbclient -L 192.168... how do i know which one will try to connect? | 01:06 |
| Claire2009 | smil3y - on the dvd-rom drive? | 01:06 |
| K`zan | Should I not use synaptic and just stick with apt-get? | 01:06 |
| quibbler | squillyum, go to system > perferences > appearence click the tab visual effect and set it to none | 01:06 |
| ardchoille | K`zan: personal preference really | 01:07 |
| K`zan | been using kubuntu until they screwed it. | 01:07 |
| squillyum | quibbler, I did set it to none, and that was the output. | 01:07 |
| nickrud | K`zan, you can use them interchangably | 01:07 |
| Cyberai | jedi06, your routing tables should automatically figure it out. | 01:07 |
| K`zan | ardchoille: problem is that synapic does not find things that apt-get does. I would think synaptic would find whatever apt-get does?!? | 01:07 |
| jedi06 | well cyberai then the problem is windows is not listening to the request | 01:07 |
| Cyberai | jedi06, provided they are not both 192.168.* nets | 01:07 |
| jedi06 | yes they are | 01:07 |
| MaT-dg1 | have an USB-stick here that fails at mounting in ubuntu. | 01:08 |
| ardchoille | K`zan: I don't use synaptic so can't help | 01:08 |
| quonsar | multi-boot grub question here | 01:08 |
| jedi06 | cyberai are you familiar windows file share and smb/ | 01:08 |
| soreau | dr_Willis: I'd like to by sarcastic and say I put it at the top of the file with a '#' in front of it but *sigh* of course I put it before the exit line and with the full path even | 01:08 |
| K`zan | ardchoille: OK, makes sense, synaptic appears to be either broken or doesn't work in all cases with the live CD. | 01:08 |
| dr_Willis | soreau, yu dont want to know the # of people ive seen put it after the exit ;0 What is the command you are rnning anywya? | 01:09 |
| vigo | jedi06: I would try umplugging one, then look at the Hardware list, that would tell you which is what, probably overkill or maybe a simplified way, just a suggestion. | 01:09 |
| smil3y | Claire2009, its built into the kernel already... http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsmount.8.html | 01:09 |
| K`zan | adept works, I'll see if I can get that installed. | 01:09 |
| Claire2009 | smil3y - thanks | 01:09 |
| ardchoille | K`zan: installing adept will likely install a lot of kde | 01:09 |
| quibbler | squillyum, is the problem only with wine?? is amarok ok?? | 01:09 |
| Cyberai | jedi06, to a certain degree yes | 01:09 |
| quonsar | running 8.10 32 bit and want to install 64 bit in a second partition. if i tell 64 bit install to install boot manager on my original partition, will it preserve my current menu.lst? | 01:09 |
| ardchoille | K`zan: you can try aptitude, it's a command line gui for package management | 01:10 |
| squillyum | quibbler, I uninstalled amarok, I was just using it to test something, I do not need it, but I do need wine. I already tried uninstalling it and lowering visual effects to none, and that was the output. | 01:10 |
| Cyberai | jedi06, I believe you can configure Samba to utilize a specific interface in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file | 01:10 |
| dr_Willis | quonsar, i would backup the menu.lst anyway and brush up on grub configuration by hand :) im not sure how well the installer handles multi-disrtos | 01:10 |
| jedi06 | well cyberai i turned off one and it still the same thing | 01:10 |
| Cyberai | ah | 01:10 |
| Cyberai | use nmap to scan the target windows box and see if it is listening on the correct ports | 01:11 |
| soreau | dr_Willis: It's just a script I wrote to connect to the net manually. It disables the iptables stuff and sets ifconfig statically.. I know network manager could do this but I don't like nm-applet and when I run the script with sudo after log in, it works fine as expected | 01:11 |

| bluedragon | Already have ia32libs installed how do i install zsnes now that i have that installe d | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | bluedragon: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/snes9x-x | 01:32 |
| HiggsBoson | anyone here got conky | 01:32 |
| codename | I had a problem last night reguarding my NVIDIA card being seen, can anyone help me out? | 01:32 |
| Tekumel | I knew I should have gone to that installfest I read about today :< | 01:32 |
| quibbler | squillyum, move down until you see metacity | 01:32 |
| rob__ | codename: you mean not recognized? | 01:32 |
| codename | I think it's being detected, but I'm not sure if it's using it properly | 01:32 |
| exodus_ms | vigo: It looks like what I need, I can do all this with firefox and my google account (gmail and reader) was just wondering if there was a way to get Gpodder to work as an add-on for evolution | 01:32 |
| rob__ | codename: have you installed restricted drivers, if any? | 01:33 |
| linux_guy | what is the name of the file you edit in ubuntu that handles auto-connecting to home wireless? | 01:33 |
| codename | Yeah, but I have an onboard video card | 01:33 |
| Hick0rd | I’m trying to set up an ad-hoc network between my laptop and iphone 3g. and share the internet connection between them. Any tutorial would be much appreciated. | 01:33 |
| codename | and a PCI express one | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | bluedragon: you can install that or find a zsnes source tarball or zsnes deb file | 01:33 |
| codename | If I go into NVIDIA X settings | 01:33 |
| rob__ | linux_guy: /etc/network/interfaces ? | 01:33 |
| codename | its says under GPU: NVIDIA 9800GT | 01:33 |
| codename | So I think, its seeing it | 01:33 |
| grkblood13 | how do i check the amount of ram i have? | 01:33 |
| rob__ | codename: go to Administration > Hardware Drivers | 01:33 |
| rob__ | grkblood13: open System Monitor | 01:33 |
| === diego is now known as Guest63632 | ||
| codename | It says it's using the 177 driver | 01:34 |
| rob__ | codename: that sounds like the correct one | 01:34 |
| bluedragon | ActionParsnip got snes installed it is not zsnes but there is no sound any suggestions | 01:34 |
| rob__ | codename: so what is your problem, exactly? | 01:34 |
| codename | Well I just wanna make sure if it's using my PCI express, not the onboard one | 01:34 |
| squillyum | quibbler, I found /apps/metacity what do I do now? | 01:34 |
| vigo | exidus_ms: It is open source, Mozilla , so yes, I reckon it can | 01:34 |
| Hick0rd | Any ideas? | 01:34 |
| codename | If I go to NVIDIA x settings, it says I'm using the 9800GT under GPU | 01:35 |
| quibbler | squillyum, click on the arrow next to metacity and you will see general click on general | 01:35 |
| grkblood13 | rob_ do you know why when i run wine is says im out of memory in the gui when i cleary have enough? | 01:35 |
| rob__ | codename: wait - that's not the correct one? i'm misunderstanding, i think | 01:35 |
| codename | so does it mean It's in use | 01:35 |
| codename | That is the correct | 01:35 |
| codename | One | 01:35 |
| exodus_ms | vigo: I'm going to do some looking around and give SeaMonkey a try as well. Thanks for the help | 01:35 |
| bluedragon | well thanks for the help so far going to try to figure it out | 01:35 |
| grkblood13 | its an installaware prompt | 01:35 |
| rob__ | grkblood13: wine says its out, or windows? | 01:35 |
| codename | But I just wanted to make sure if it says Geforce 9800 gt under GPU, that means I'm using it right? | 01:35 |
| vigo | exodus_ms: my hope is that I did help... | 01:35 |
| rob__ | codename: sounds like it, yeah | 01:36 |
| codename | thanks bro | 01:36 |
| squillyum | quibbler, what do I do after I have clicked on general? | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | bluedragon: try installing libsdl1.2debian-alsa libsdl1.2debian-esd | 01:36 |
| grkblood13 | umm, well the gui pops up | 01:36 |
| grkblood13 | the gui of the app im trying to install | 01:36 |
| rob__ | grkblood13: ok | 01:36 |
| grkblood13 | i click install and the installaware pops up | 01:37 |
| gradin | how hosed am i? | 01:37 |
| grkblood13 | im ot sure if its a linux or windows gui | 01:37 |
| gradin | my package manager is broken :( what do i do? | 01:37 |
| rob__ | grkblood13: there's a way to specify how much memory is available to wine, but i'm not sure where that is | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !fixapt | gradin | 01:37 |
| ubottu | gradin: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 01:37 |
| quibbler | squillyum, look on the right hand side and scroll down until you see compositing_manager | 01:37 |
| rob__ | grkblood13: try googling for that, if you can't find it come on back | 01:37 |
| grkblood13 | so thats prolly my issue then? | 01:37 |
| Boxxy | Hey guys, how are you liking Windows 7? | 01:37 |
| rob__ | grkblood13: in the wine conf, i think, yeah, i think that's the problem | 01:37 |
| Boxxy | Windows 7 is fucking awesome. | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | rob__: it will use as much ram as it needs, you can alott more cpu time | 01:38 |

| rob__ | ActionParsnip: i vaguely remember being able to specify some amount of ram in a wine conf file, is that not correct? | 01:38 |
| rob__ | ActionParsnip: and the default was pretty low | 01:38 |
| Boxxy | What are talking about, you guys must be good with computers so I figured you must be smart enough to be using Windows 7! | 01:38 |
| quibbler | squillyum, you say that you have reinstalled wine right | 01:39 |
| === rob is now known as Guest20564 | ||

| === rob__ is now known as orb | ||
| * [NikO] agree | 01:39 | |
| ActionParsnip | rob__: not sure but id imagine it would only use as much as it needed, you can specify greater priority with nice which would make it have more time in ram while it executed | 01:39 |
| squillyum | quibbler, yes. what should I do? | 01:39 |

| pronto | so i just installed ubuntu 8.10 ... and it shows my cpu to be at 2.8 Ghz when it should be 3.8Ghz | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | orb: man wine | 01:40 |
| Boxxy | So, I was using it today, and it's MUCH nicer then the alternatives, like Mak OSX and Ubuntu. | 01:40 |

| ardchoille | he's trolling | 01:40 |
| Boxxy | I mean, I've used Linux OS's for a long time now, but then I got Windows 7 and it has just been AWESOME. | 01:40 |
| quibbler | squillyum, what version of wine do you have | 01:41 |
| nickrud | Boxxy, do you have an ubuntu support question? | 01:41 |
| squillyum | quibbler, I installed it directly from add/remove programs. | 01:41 |
| orb | grkblood13: sorry i can't be more specific, try running winecfg, i remember having to set the RAM available to windows | 01:41 |
| orb | grkblood13: at least, i think i do | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | grkblood13: check man wine | 01:41 |
| Boxxy | Yes: I was wondering how do I get Ubuntu to work under Windows 7. I know they both generally use the same architecture and files and computer stuff. | 01:41 |
| gradin | ActionParsnip: dpkg --configure -a says something about an error in parsing a file and that some line must be followed by a semicolon | 01:42 |
| quibbler | squillyum, what do you want to config in wine | 01:42 |
| smil3y | Boxxy> what do you mean "work" under windows 7? dual boot? | 01:42 |
| pronto | how do you force the cpu to be at the correct clock speed :\ | 01:42 |
| noodlesgc | !wubi | Boxxy | 01:42 |

| orb | Psyonik: what lib is it missing? have you installed it? | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | joljam: are you fully updated? | 01:47 |

| Psyonik | lstarnes, Alright, I'll try that. | 01:47 |
| lstarnes | Boxxy: no, the trolling | 01:47 |
| quibbler | squillyum, it comes from a child's story ...it means if the pudding is tasty it's good | 01:47 |
| grkblood13 | orb, that post never received an answer | 01:47 |
| Boxxy | but i'm not | 01:47 |
| joljam | yes ActionParsnip | 01:47 |
| Boxxy | this is totally sincere, windows 7 is better | 01:47 |
| Psyonik | orb, It said the OpenGL lib, nothing specific. | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Boxxy: my fileserver serves 3 pcs for files and maintains a daily backup and torrent client and has 4 months of uptime | 01:47 |
| quibbler | squillyum, in other words if it works it's good | 01:47 |
| smil3y | your just feeding the TROLL, ignore, and it will go away | 01:47 |
| joljam | ActionParsnip to the best of my knowledge | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Boxxy: i'd say that was fairly stable | 01:47 |
| Boxxy | ActionParsnip: That's all you could do? | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | joljam: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:48 |
| orb | Psyonik: try the suggestion above | 01:48 |
| Psyonik | orb: Already on it. :D | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Boxxy: its proof of how stable linux (gentoo in this case) is] | 01:48 |
| orb | grkblood13: the replier suggested checking file permissions | 01:48 |

| cojones | hey all, musictracker in pidgin has broken (i tried upgrading to a more recent pidgin versino from GetDEB and that broke musictracker) now I can't seem to fix it... no matter what song i play, it always lists the same song, which unfortunately is "When a man loves a woman" by Michael Bolton | 01:56 |
| ubottu | Found: libglade2-0, libglade2-dev, libglade2.0-cil, libglademm-2.4-1c2a, libglademm-2.4-dbg (and 12 others) | 01:56 |
| Rods_Tiger | I'll have to give that a try then - is it easy to manually install the kernel into the usbstick? | 01:56 |
| neo644 | How do I disable the stupid titlebar transparency in compiz? | 01:56 |

| Aiffe | Funny you should say that, Parsnip. | 01:56 |
| davidfromoz | hello ubuntu, i have some beginner questions about setting up file permissions. is this the right place? | 01:56 |
| Azazel-AZ | Intrepiud not seeing samba shares in nautlis after launchpad patch installed | 01:57 |
| Aiffe | I'm here because I can't listen to anything. | 01:57 |
| Rods_Tiger | Could've been worse - could've been Rick Astley | 01:57 |
| Azazel-AZ | New Install | 01:57 |
| cojones | ActionParsnip: haha actually, i never listen to that song haha... it just came on right as i was upgrading pidgin... a very unfortunate turn of events hehe | 01:57 |
| Psyonik | Now to download some roms. | 01:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Aiffe: run lspci, it will identify the sound card, you can websearch the outputted line and get guides | 01:57 |
| Aiffe | I did that. | 01:57 |
| Aiffe | I've been through about 500 guides. | 01:57 |
| Aiffe | If I haven't broken it worse, I at least haven't fixed anything. | 01:58 |
| Azazel-AZ | Has anyone got Nautlius seeing samba shares under 8.10? | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Aiffe: what does lspci say you have? | 01:58 |
| burkmat | Server runs off the same repos as desktop, right? | 01:58 |
| Aiffe | davidfromoz, you mean like with the chmod command? | 01:58 |
| Rods_Tiger | to be honest, I'm very disappointed with the Live USBstick ubuntu. It takes a ridiculous amount of time going back and forth and back and forth and then eventually grows solid to the right and then ages later it boots. It takes far too long to be usable. | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Azazel-AZ: try: smb://servername/sharename | 01:58 |
| neo644 | Oh well, nobody will answer my question (no offense). Bye. | 01:59 |
| Psyonik | Poor Neo, I know how he feels. =/ | 01:59 |
| nite_johnboy | ! install printer | 01:59 |
| davidfromoz | yes, i am setting up a mini server. and i want to be able to access soem directories on a hard drive according to group permissions | 01:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about install printer | 01:59 |
| _slax_ | Rods_Tiger: you're lucky you can even boot up into USB , i cant :( | 01:59 |
| Rods_Tiger | ha ha | 01:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !printer | nite_johnboy | 01:59 |
| Aiffe | Oh, that's weird, I didn't notice that. | 01:59 |
| ubottu | nite_johnboy: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 01:59 |
| Rods_Tiger | I can | 01:59 |
| davidfromoz | ultimately i will be using samba, but now i just want to make sure i have set things up correctly on the server | 02:00 |

| _slax_ | i have to use live cd's, which are sooooo yesterdays news | 02:00 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about install printer | 02:00 |
| davidfromoz | i mounted the drives as root in fstab | 02:00 |
| Rods_Tiger | yes, they take less time, I feel - even though they take an age, too | 02:00 |
| ActionParsnip | _slax_: cds are soo old, use web based installers are so 2009 | 02:00 |
| Azazel-AZ | ActionParsnip: that works | 02:00 |
| davidfromoz | now i dont understand why i cant modify directory contents according to group permissions | 02:00 |
| Azazel-AZ | smb:/// shows nothing | 02:00 |
| cojones | anyone know where musictracker stores its config info? i can't get rid of all the files | 02:01 |
| rdw200169 | ActionParsnip: USB Installers are fine, USB ***installations*** are not! | 02:01 |
| nite_johnboy | ActionParsnip; Thank you... | 02:01 |

| _slax_ | i can get anything in seconds | 02:01 |
| Rods_Tiger | which is recommended for an AAO? Ubuntu-netbook-remix 1.0.1 or the new easy-peasy? I've just asked the question in the netbook channel but as I'm the only one in there, nobody else replied. | 02:01 |

| baz | if u connect an ldap server to thunderbird, does it also write to it (if u add a contact) ot does it only read from it? | 02:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Azazel-AZ: then the shares are ok | 02:01 |
| rdw200169 | baz good questions... | 02:01 |
| ActionParsnip | _slax_: then dont bother with Cds, just burn 10Mb iso for minimal install and install via web | 02:01 |
| Aiffe | http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/sysadmin.html davidfromoz, does this help? | 02:02 |
| Azazel-AZ | Yes, there were 2 bug reports for it, I found a link that had me add a 3rd party repository and it added 5 files and upgraded samba, but no success after reboot | 02:02 |
| davidfromoz | i'll try, thank you. i thought i understood permissions, but maybe i dont | 02:02 |
| _slax_ | ActionParsnip: well i like live cd's like puppy and slax :) I ended up just instally slax to my hdd :) | 02:02 |
| Psyonik | ActionParsnip, I installed using a CD | 02:02 |
| Psyonik | But that was '08. | 02:02 |
| tc111 | Rods_Tiger: i've been using ultimate ubuntu 2.0 amd64 on an 8gb stick and used the ubuntu "Create a USB startup disk" utility off 'System' -> 'Administration' and the downloaded iso image. works like a charm. it's completely up-to-date (the live portion) as of two days ago (sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude full-upgrade) | 02:02 |

| _slax_ | dont pm me Microsux | 02:03 |
| _slax_ | !pm | 02:03 |
| ubottu | Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 02:03 |
| sockets | how exactly do you install via web after the minimal iso though? | 02:03 |
| Rods_Tiger | the other annoying thing about the liveusbstick ubuntu is that I thought it was persistent but it's not. When it eventually boots, it keeps presenting the keymap defaulted to some foreign country and I keep having to change it every time. | 02:03 |
| baz | test | 02:03 |
| Azazel-AZ | ActionParsnip: samba does work. ugh. I'd like to see my shares in nautlis | 02:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Rods_Tiger: just dont reboot | 02:03 |
| Rods_Tiger | tc111: but when I add suppositories to it, it wants to update, and then it complains about the kernel | 02:04 |
| tc111 | Rods_Tiger: what did you use to create the stick? | 02:04 |
| rdw200169 | Azazel-AZ: you can | 02:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Azazel-AZ: you can mount them with smbmount | 02:04 |
| Rods_Tiger | a livecd connected to my Acer Aspire One | 02:04 |
| rdw200169 | Azazel-AZ: even easier than what ActionParsnip suggests, just do this | 02:04 |
| rdw200169 | Azazel-AZ: Places -> Connect to Server... | 02:04 |
| sockets | ActionParsnip, how do you install via web w/ the minimal isos? what's the command? i'm trying to install xubuntu - apt-get xubuntu-desktop? | 02:04 |
| Rods_Tiger | and a 16GB usb stick | 02:04 |
| Azazel-AZ | k. | 02:04 |
| Psyonik | Got a PM from Microsux too. | 02:05 |
| Psyonik | <.< | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | sockets: download the minimal iso (amd64 is 10Mb, 32bit is 9mb) | 02:05 |
| rdw200169 | Azazel-AZ: then, Bookmark it, and it ends up in the bookmark column of Nautilus | 02:05 |
| tc111 | Rods_Tiger: which live cd? (distro, version, etc...) | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | sockets: the varios DEs can easily be selected via the menu presented | 02:05 |
| Rods_Tiger | oh I don't know - it's round, does that help? | 02:05 |
| Rods_Tiger | 8.10 ubuntu | 02:05 |
| tc111 | Rods_Tiger: my changes are completely persistent. what utility did you use to create the usbstick? | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | sockets: its a text based install method but its painless as long as your network adapter is detected ok | 02:06 |
| rdw200169 | Azazel-AZ: Service Type, WIndows Share | 02:06 |
| Rods_Tiger | the one built into the menus to make a usb stick | 02:06 |
| Scunizi | I'm trying to configure efax-gtk with the right location of my usb fax modem (it's not a soft modem). How do I discover it's location?? Typically a modem hooked to rs232 port or installed in a pci slot would have an address of ttyS0 or something similar. | 02:06 |
| sockets | ActionParsnip, thanks - what do you use btw? xubuntu, kubuntu or ubuntu? | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | rdw200169: yeah thats a nice function | 02:06 |
| tc111 | Rods_Tiger: when you created the usbstick, how much space did you commit to the persistent partition (actually file)? | 02:06 |
| mastertonnan | hi | 02:06 |
| Azazel-AZ | Yeah, I can do that, but not browseable :( oh well. I will bookmark it I guess on laptop and can then click to connect when I need. | 02:06 |
| Rods_Tiger | all 16GB | 02:07 |
| Sa[i]nT | How do I change my startup items in KDE4.1? | 02:07 |
| Azazel-AZ | And I manually edited smb.conf and still not browseable :( | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sockets: its morphed over the years buit its now fluxbox with kdelibs and some kde apps | 02:07 |
| rdw200169 | Azazel-AZ: well, you can also do smbmount, it's just more difficult | 02:07 |
| chilli0 | How can i see who is connected to my box in ssh? | 02:07 |
| ardchoille | Sa[i]nT: ask in #kubuntu | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sockets: it started with kubuntu but i got sick of kwin being lame | 02:07 |
| Azazel-AZ | I ran a smb server as an admin for the past 2 years. That's not the prob, Intrepid is broken | 02:08 |
| chilli0 | How can i see who is connected to my box in ssh? | 02:08 |
| mastertonnan | is there any wordprocessor that runs in Terminal? | 02:08 |
| EdgeX-- | chilli0, finger | 02:08 |

| rdw200169 | ActionParsnip: yeah, i have over 3750 possibilities... | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | e3co_: i have nearly 3000 on my system | 02:09 |
| _slax_ | you can get a GUI version of Vi, not sure if its installed by default, if not 'sudo apt-get install gvim' should do it. | 02:09 |
| tc111 | Rods_Tiger: did you make the fat32 filesystem on the stick with the utility or from a terminal? | 02:09 |
| dash | howdy. i'm trying to configure NFS to do an export that's writeable by anonymous users (i'm exporting to a virtual machine running locally) | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | _slax_: he wanted a cli text editor | 02:10 |
| tc111 | Rods_Tiger: also, is this a U3 stick? | 02:10 |
| dash | however despite specifying "rw" it remains read-only. anybody know anything about this? | 02:10 |
| _slax_ | ActionParsnip: ah | 02:10 |
| e3co_ | 3969 Possibilities | 02:10 |
| zetheroo | anyone know what this all means? http://pastebin.com/mc0fd61a | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | frewsxcv: www.fs-driver.org/ | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | frewsxcv: not really n ubuntu question, its a windows question | 02:11 |
| Rods_Tiger | tc111: that's a point - I used cfdisk in the end, after gparted didn't manage well. It's a 'Bytestor' stick | 02:11 |
| _slax_ | ActionParsnip: it wouldnt kill him to know bout the GUI version though :) | 02:11 |
| Rods_Tiger | tc111: but I simply left the partition uncommitted, so that the liveusb utility formatted it itself | 02:11 |
| joeb3_ | zetheroo, it can't read the partition table. | 02:12 |
| rdw200169 | chilli0: you can kick them off by killing the particular sshd process that relates to their login | 02:12 |
| zetheroo | joeb3_: its a MP5 media player ... | 02:12 |
| rdw200169 | chilli0: for example, if you do "ps -A | grep username" | 02:12 |
| tc111 | Rods_Tiger: i've had nothing but problems with sticks that had their filesystems created by the utility, so i prep the stick first with 'fdisk' and 'mkdosfs' | 02:12 |
| zetheroo | joeb3_: what should I do? | 02:12 |
| Rods_Tiger | tc111: I know what you mean - its very hit or miss | 02:12 |
| rdw200169 | chilli0: it should show something like this: sshd: randy@pts/9 | 02:12 |
| joeb3_ | zetheroo, find out what filesystem it uses. | 02:13 |
| zetheroo | joeb3_: FAT32 | 02:13 |
| batcoder-7 | what is a good mp3 player for ubuntu ? | 02:13 |
| batcoder-7 | light | 02:13 |
| rdw200169 | chilli0: then just kill the process using the kill command with the process number | 02:13 |
| batcoder-7 | simple but yet has features? | 02:13 |
| zetheroo | joeb3_: should I format it? | 02:13 |
| dash | batcoder-7: banshee, rhythmbox, mpg321 | 02:13 |
| rdw200169 | chilli0: it won't kill sshd, the server will still be running, but they will be logged out | 02:13 |
| joeb3_ | zetheroo, only if you don't need any of the data on it. | 02:13 |
| batcoder-7 | dash, i use xfce not gnome which one has no dependcy on gnome ? | 02:13 |
| Azazel-AZ | ok, things just got bad. accidently clicked on open office on the dock and no fonts loaded. all blank! | 02:14 |
| DVA5912 | !metabuntu | 02:14 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about metabuntu | 02:14 |
| Rods_Tiger | batcoder-7: mplayer? | 02:14 |
| batcoder-7 | i still would like gtk+ | 02:14 |
| tc111 | Rods_Tiger: the ones i prep all work great, so i just do it that way now... maybe if there's a version update i'll test it again, but until then, 'fdisk' and 'mkdosfs' is definitely my friend. | 02:14 |
| joeb3_ | zetheroo, does the mp3 player come with an option to format or software to format it/ | 02:14 |
| DVA5912 | !metebuntu | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | batcoder-7: mplayer all the way bro | 02:14 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about metebuntu | 02:14 |
| batcoder-7 | does it let you knwo what song is playing ? | 02:14 |
| zetheroo | joeb3_: yes but I already did that .... | 02:14 |
| batcoder-7 | even if its minimized? | 02:14 |
| Azazel-AZ | sudo apt-get autoremove --purge openoffice.org; openoffice.org not installed??? wow | 02:15 |
| DVA5912 | !meta | 02:15 |
| ubottu | If you would like to help in #*ubuntu* but it just goes too fast to spot interesting questions, try joining #ubuntu-meta and watching for questions there (note that it is NOT a support channel, however, and questions should still be answered in #*ubuntu*) | 02:15 |
| Rods_Tiger | tc111: mine work, but each time they boot (which takes forever) they keep having the keyboard set to a foreign country by default and I keep having to change it. | 02:15 |
| joeb3_ | zetheroo, well if you format it in ubuntu, the mp3player may not work because it does not recognize the filesystem | 02:15 |
| DVA5912 | wo | 02:15 |
| DVA5912 | what is the extra packages? metabuntu | 02:15 |
| Rods_Tiger | I like to help in the 'netbook' channel - there's nobody in there | 02:16 |
| jrib | !medibuntu | DVA5912 | 02:16 |
| ubottu | DVA5912: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:16 |
| EdgeX- | batcoder-7, if you're looking for features i'd surely recommend amarok...but you're wanting simplicity so i don't think that would be right for you | 02:16 |
| zetheroo | joeb3_: even if I format it with FAT32? | 02:16 |
| DVA5912 | the one i didnt try | 02:16 |
| batcoder-7 | EdgeX-, i like amarok | 02:16 |
| joeb3_ | zetheroo, possibly, yes. Give it a try. | 02:16 |
| batcoder-7 | but i uese xfce | 02:16 |
| Rods_Tiger | I use xfce on my Acer Aspire One netbook | 02:17 |
| Roland- | hey, is there a way to custom install ubuntu ? I don't need all packages | 02:17 |
| batcoder-7 | run slow? | 02:17 |
| tc111 | Rods_Tiger: yea, when i could get mine to boot, sometimes they couldn't find the kernel, and if they could find the kernel they couldn't start all the services, especially the keyboard and mouse. very, very unreliable. don't really know what the difference is, but it is absolutely annoying. | 02:17 |
| Rods_Tiger | odd partition maps on the usb sticks | 02:17 |
| oasis2 | hmmm, I wonder how many verbs there are in the English language. That's how many commands my brain takes. | 02:17 |
| Rods_Tiger | some are positively weird | 02:17 |
| EdgeX- | hah | 02:17 |
| dash | Roland-: sure | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Rods_Tiger: just roll with what the man gives you | 02:18 |
| Rods_Tiger | is there a way of doing a 'proper' install to a pocket hard drive, so that it boots in without thinking it's a livecd, and having it able to find itself on any machine I put it on (regardless of how many other devices are there) | 02:18 |
| dash | Roland-: nothing installs all packages anyway | 02:18 |
| Roland- | dash, that's perfect, but how ? | 02:19 |
| dash | Roland-: do you have an ubuntu cd or are you installing from the internet? | 02:19 |
| Roland- | dash I mean install just the base, not even x window system. I want to add thing manualy | 02:19 |
| dash | Roland-: sure, just do a server install | 02:19 |
| Roland- | using ubuntu desktop cd? | 02:19 |
| Rods_Tiger | Roland-: you might as well use Gentoo then | 02:19 |
| dash | Rods_Tiger: ridiculous | 02:19 |
| dash | Rods_Tiger: why would you say that? | 02:20 |
| Roland- | I am using gentoo but I am having some issues :) | 02:20 |
| Rods_Tiger | it's what I use | 02:20 |
| nickrud | Rods_Tiger, the only guarantee would be putting grub on the pocket drive pointing at a partition on the pocket, and on the machine making sure that usb device is the first boot. The bios is your bottleneck | 02:20 |
| dash | Rods_Tiger: Oh. Haha. | 02:20 |
| Rods_Tiger | ah | 02:20 |
| Rods_Tiger | nickrud: sounds complex and fraught with variation. | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Roland-: if you are using cli based system i'd recommend gentoo too | 02:20 |
| Roland- | I am thinking to try ubuntu just because it's large userbase but I don't want it to come with thing installed by default | 02:21 |
| nickrud | Rods_Tiger, not on the ubuntu end. But the os is at the mercy of the bios when it comes to booting | 02:21 |
| Roland- | I would like to keep it light | 02:21 |
| Rods_Tiger | true | 02:21 |
| dash | as a professional server admin, i would recommend ubuntu. :) | 02:21 |
| EdgeX- | gentoo looks neat; i have to try it out | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Roland-: use the minimal 10Mb cd | 02:21 |
| DVA5912 | what reposotories do i need to do this: sudo apt-get install setiathome | 02:21 |
| dash | EdgeX-: it's for people who aren't lazy. | 02:21 |
| * Roland- checks that | 02:21 | |
| Roland- | where is it? | 02:21 |
| nickrud | !minimal | Roland- you could use the minimal install disk | 02:21 |
| ubottu | Roland- you could use the minimal install disk: 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 | 02:21 |
| EdgeX- | dash, well i'm screwed | 02:21 |
| dash | anyway! | 02:21 |

| ubottu | dash: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 02:22 |
| dash | dr_Willis: Hi. | 02:22 |
| Roland- | as far as I remember one year ago ubuntu was VERY slow on performance. comparing to gentoo,arch, etc | 02:22 |
| dash | Roland-: oh? url? | 02:23 |
| Rods_Tiger | I know it's a lot of hassle if you boot expecting an NFS volume and it's not there | 02:23 |
| Roland- | no I trieed it myself | 02:23 |
| DVA5912 | how do i install seti@home | 02:23 |
| _slax_ | Flannel: pm me again please :) | 02:23 |

| dr_Willis | !debootstrap | 02:28 |
| Psyonik | D: | 02:28 |
| ubottu | debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information | 02:28 |

| EdgeX- | iso|, have you upgraded your bios to the lastest version for your mobo | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | iso|: you could have a bootable floppy to boot the usb drive maybe | 02:28 |

| ActionParsnip | coyote_blue: or you can download the .so from www.adobe.com and put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: works fine right here | 02:41 |
| dr_Willis | :) 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' a must have for all web surfers | 02:41 |
| dr_Willis | ActionParsnip, you are in the vast minority then | 02:41 |
| nisink | has anyone had any experience with getting paravirtualization on 8.04 | 02:41 |
| dr_Willis | for 64bit i think it also grabs some extra packages to make the 32bit flash work under 64bit | 02:42 |
| coyote_blue | is there a special repository i need to load to get that flashplayer-nonfree? | 02:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: as soon as that bad boy was out i was all over it like a rash | 02:42 |
| Guest3177 | thanx guys | 02:42 |
| dr_Willis | ActionParsnip, what bad boy? | 02:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: the 64bit flash, nspluginwrapper was getting a little tiresome | 02:42 |
| dr_Willis | I did a clean 64bit install.. installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and it grabbed all i needed for flash to work | 02:42 |
| dr_Willis | ActionParsnip, im not using 64bit flash as far as i know. :) | 02:42 |
| dr_Willis | cant see much need for it actually | 02:42 |
| dr_Willis | perhaps in the next release | 02:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: i think that package simply downloads the 64bit flash from adobe and puts it in the right place | 02:43 |
| dr_Willis | ActionParsnip, it was doing this when 8.10 first came out? i dident think there was 64bit flash back then | 02:43 |
| linny | dr_Willis: i used nswrapper or somthing to install 32 bit flash in 64 | 02:43 |
| linny | followed some guide off the net | 02:43 |

| coagen | coyote_blue: you just need to know the block id of the device to add it to the fstab, just use the blkid command in a terminal to list the block ids of installed devices, then in the fstab use UUID=(blkid) instead of the device name and you'll be fine | 03:02 |
| nightkitten | ppice: private query? | 03:02 |
| coyote_blue | thanks coagen! that's exactly what i needed | 03:03 |

| CentHOGG | hi, what should be the size of a RAID 5 setup with these drives (320, 320, 160) TIA | 03:03 |
| dr_Willis | Guest20564, you can do a lot in grub.. but tell the channel exactly what you are trying to do. | 03:03 |
| Guest20564 | instead of the splash screen i would like to see the terminal go to work | 03:03 |
| Guest20564 | i jst did | 03:04 |
| dr_Willis | Guest20564, just disable the gdm/kdm service = no X login, straight toconsole | 03:04 |
| dr_Willis | Guest20564, nothing todowith grub or hw | 03:04 |
| Guest20564 | how about startup manager | 03:04 |
| coyote_blue | btw.... I did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and it installed... but i still can't view certain flash videos... specifically the full episodes on the daily show website. i can't figure out why. i also did sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree and it couldn't find the package | 03:05 |
| doughed2003 | ok got rid of the icon now how do i turn off compiz? | 03:05 |
| Guest20564 | dr_Willis, how aout start up manager | 03:06 |
| dr_Willis | coyote_blue, ive noticed some sites that have comeriasls/then shows - dont work right for me under firefox/flash at all.. even under windows.. some off them dident work with IE either..but did with oprea.. go figure | 03:06 |
| dr_Willis | Guest20564, what about it? | 03:06 |
| K`zan | Just a silly question, I know how to get around it, but why can't synaptic find "geda"? | 03:06 |
| dr_Willis | !find geda | 03:06 |
| ubottu | Found: geda, geda-doc, geda-examples, geda-gattrib, geda-gnetlist (and 8 others) | 03:06 |
| coagen | coyote_blue: i watch the daily show on hulu.com try that site and tell me if it works | 03:06 |
| K`zan | dr_Willis: Yes, I know it is there, apt finds it, but synaptic does not. | 03:07 |
| coyote_blue | the only thing is, my brother uses ubuntu too and he had no problem with that site. he has the 32-bit version and it installed flash for him and works fine... i'll try hulu | 03:07 |
| Chaorain | Is there a way to mirror monitors? | 03:07 |
| dr_Willis | K`zan, it finds it here | 03:07 |

| Chaorain | I have a Nvida | 03:07 |
| dr_Willis | Chaorain, enable nvidia drivers. use nvidia-settings tool to clone the monitors | 03:07 |
| K`zan | dr_Willis: Perhaps it doesn't work for some reason off the live cd? But apt finds it there so, I'm confused. Yes, I did check the CD for defects :-). | 03:08 |
| dr_Willis | Chaorain, or tweak them in other ways | 03:08 |
| coagen | coyote_blue: do you know if you have flash 10 installed?, I used a script I got somewhere to install the 64 bit version of flash 10 | 03:08 |

| izinucs | cdenny, now what kind of name is that.. that's no fun! | 03:46 |

| Cpudan80 | BuffyNZ: what command | 03:46 |
| impaler | there | 03:46 |
| markiv1982 | aww.. thanks izinucs... Kopete doesnt work for gtalk for me.. :( | 03:46 |
| markiv1982 | any help on Kopete qca tls plugin? | 03:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | impaler: depends, studio sometimes has its own set of issues, and i don't believe its supported here. | 03:46 |
| BuffyNZ | Cpudan80: Its a login command to a bot, not a nickserv login. | 03:46 |
| bob4321 | having trouble with installer for 8.10 if anyone can help | 03:46 |
| Cpudan80 | BuffyNZ: in the server properties there is a command line | 03:46 |
| izinucs | markiv1982, install pidgin | 03:46 |
| nightkitten | can somebody please tell me how to mount root.disk while using the live cd? | 03:46 |
| earthmeLon | Uhm, how do I do ALT+XXXX in Ubuntu, lol >_< | 03:46 |
| BuffyNZ | Cpudan80: Checking, thanks | 03:46 |
| impaler | IndyGunFreak what do you mean, "supported here" | 03:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | bob4321: just ask, if someone can help, they will. | 03:47 |
| LorgonJortle | bob: what's wrong? | 03:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | impaler: what do i mean, i mean, "its not supported here"... | 03:47 |
| Cpudan80 | BuffyNZ: not real sure when that runs ... but seeing as there are server & nickserv command lines also - one would think that that box goes last | 03:47 |
| markiv1982 | thanx izinucs... just doing that.. but couldnt make Kopete work.. | 03:47 |
| Cpudan80 | even though it is on top... | 03:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | in other words, if you ask questions about ubuntu studio, you'll be directed to ubuntu studio support | 03:47 |
| phanleson | Hi | 03:47 |
| markiv1982 | how can a damn thing not work.. sorry for the rant :) | 03:47 |
| LorgonJortle | Hi | 03:47 |
| phanleson | thank ! | 03:47 |
| impaler | ah, i see, sorry for my ignorance | 03:48 |
| BuffyNZ | Cpudan80: Cant see anything under network or server properties, sorry I must be missing something | 03:48 |
| izinucs | markiv1982, also if you have an ekiga or other sip phone account as well as gtalk, msn, yahoo, aim etc.. you could also try wengophone.. in repo's | 03:48 |
| LorgonJortle | Looks like Bob solved his problem.... | 03:48 |
| quizme | coagen: found it, thanks | 03:48 |
| avegas | hey there, I have a problem where my audio often seems not to work | 03:48 |

| IndyGunFreak | xchat-gome isnm't that bad. | 03:49 |
| Cpudan80 | BuffyNZ: Yeah - that package should really be taken out of the repos | 03:49 |
| impaler | LorgonJortle I am, funny that you mention it | 03:49 |
| bob4321 | when installing from live cd i get to prepare partitions and cant go any further im installing onto a formated hd | 03:49 |
| Cpudan80 | IndyGunFreak: but why use it when you can get the full thing? | 03:49 |
| markiv1982 | thats cool.. izinucs... thnks for the suggestion :) | 03:50 |
| Cpudan80 | Oh well Xchat plain is not FOSS | 03:50 |
| Cpudan80 | Its just free | 03:50 |
| Cpudan80 | as in "dont pay" | 03:50 |
| BuffyNZ | IndyGunFreak: Can you run custom commands when autojoining a channel in xchat-gnome? | 03:50 |
| izinucs | markiv1982, which one..? wengophone? | 03:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | Cpudan80: i'm just saying, xchat-gnome, is *almost* as good as xchat. | 03:50 |
| avegas | Cpudan80, don't you mean, free as in beer :D | 03:50 |
| markiv1982 | yep.. izinucs | 03:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | BuffyNZ: i've never tried to, don't know. | 03:50 |
| bob4321 | if i try skipping over it i get "no root file system is defined" | 03:50 |
| Cpudan80 | avegas: I dont get that saying .... beer isnt free | 03:50 |
| mlLK | which directory does apt download the files to? | 03:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | bob4321: type this w/o quotes | 03:51 |
| BuffyNZ | IndyGunFreak: Cool, thanks. | 03:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | "/join #indygunfreak" | 03:51 |
| Cpudan80 | avegas: Unless you are a very hot chick. But seeing as how that doesnt apply to most *nix users .... | 03:51 |
| create | is there a way to make intrepid open nzb files with pan by default... i tried ubuntu tweak, its a no go | 03:51 |
| mlLK | and if I used apt-get source which directory does that end up in? | 03:51 |
| izinucs | markiv1982, I like it too.. however I have several sip accounts and haven't figured out how to change from one to the other. othere than that it's pretty good. | 03:51 |
| markiv1982 | and i dont know how to install OOo3 in KDE 4.2... any help? | 03:51 |
| LorgonJortle | Thanks, ubottu | 03:51 |
| coagen | mlLK: /var/cache/apt/archives | 03:51 |
| markiv1982 | izinucs... i hvnt tried it yet.. will do it later today... :D | 03:52 |
| izinucs | markiv1982, don't attempt it.. wait for Jaunty | 03:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | bob4321: type this w/o quotes, I'll see if i can help you w/ this.. "/join #indygunfreak" | 03:52 |
| LorgonJortle | Impaler, I am too. | 03:52 |
| markiv1982 | thats a good suggestion... but i am too restless to keep myself away frm it.. lolz.. :D | 03:52 |
| coagen | mlLK: what exactly are you trying to do? | 03:52 |
| mlLK | coagen, is this the same for aptitude? | 03:52 |
| markiv1982 | izinucs are u using Jaunty? | 03:53 |
| coagen | mlLK: yes | 03:53 |
| avegas | so the exact behavior that I see is that on some audio files, whatever I attempt to play them with will just halt, and appear to be in play mode, but the track will not progress at all | 03:53 |
| LorgonJortle | apt-get is pretty much the same as aptitude, right? | 03:53 |
| mlLK | coagen, I wanna cat some source files. | 03:53 |
| LorgonJortle | And what's the shortcut for terminal? | 03:53 |
| izinucs | markiv1982, no.. I have a production laptop with hardy and a desktop (my primary) with intrepid.. Jaunty is too new | 03:53 |
| coagen | mlLK: cool, go for it | 03:53 |
| impaler | This is why im going to switch to ubuntu, I clicked on itunes 7 minutes ago, and it still hasnt loaded | 03:53 |
| phanleson | ? | 03:53 |
| MatBoy | will ubuntu break when you remove sudo ? | 03:53 |
| izinucs | markiv1982, if you want to try it.. do it in a vm | 03:53 |
| MatBoy | I really need to get rid of it | 03:53 |
| izinucs | MatBoy, why | 03:54 |
| noodlesgc | MatBoy you cant | 03:54 |
| coagen | LorgonJortle: no aptitude is better, dont bother using apt-get anymore | 03:54 |
| joljam | also having problem downloading | 03:54 |
| joljam | whenever I down load some stuff | 03:54 |
| izinucs | coagen, why would you say that to LorgonJortle | 03:54 |
| mlLK | coagen, so apt-get source coreutils will put what where? | 03:54 |
| joljam | click on save file | 03:54 |
| coagen | LorgonJortle: gnome-terminal ? | 03:54 |
| joljam | its does not save | 03:54 |
| coagen | izinucs: what? | 03:54 |
| rww | Cpudan80: Per Wikipedia, XChat is licensed under the GNU GPL for all non-Windows versions. So yes, "plain XChat" is free/open source software, except for the Windows version, which is just free as in free stuff. | 03:54 |
| MatBoy | izinucs: because I need to run scripts as root and every user is by default root because it can sudo with it's own password, damn insecure !! | 03:54 |
| doughed2003 | izinucs.....,so far no luck but still trying | 03:54 |
| Cpudan80 | rww: its not free in windows | 03:55 |
| coagen | mlLK: /var/cache/apt/archives afaik | 03:55 |
| izinucs | coagen, why would you say not to use apt-get and use aptitude instead? | 03:55 |
| ryth | hi could someone tell me how to install a program that I've downloaded for Ubuntu? | 03:55 |
| MatBoy | noodlesgc: it will break the system ? can I turn it off and give root a pass so it's like in debian ? | 03:55 |
| rww | Cpudan80: I just said that. | 03:55 |
| LorgonJortle | coagen, yes | 03:55 |
| mlLK | coagen, run that? | 03:55 |
| deokanon | hello people sorry for interrupting. i am a linux newbie and i am currently installing kubuntu (dual boot) and i was wondering why it's not offering me the option to use the free space on my HD. the only way to install linux is to wipe out everything clean. now i got a lot of free space on HD, but how come linux can't automatically create a volume where it will be installed on | 03:55 |
| Cpudan80 | rww: but you have to pay for it | 03:55 |
| LorgonJortle | izinucs, so, aptitude isn't better? | 03:55 |
| Cpudan80 | rww: it costs $30 | 03:55 |
| coagen | izinucs: read the recomendations everywhere, and try using aptitude yourself... you'll never go back to apt-get again | 03:55 |
| LorgonJortle | I was reading they're the same.. | 03:55 |
| coagen | izinucs: its sooooooooo much better | 03:55 |
| noodlesgc | MatBoy read "man sudoers" | 03:55 |

| joljam | coagen.. can u help | 03:56 |
| joljam | me | 03:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | coagen: i just like apt-get cuz it rolls off my fingers better.. ut aptitude is better | 03:56 |
| joljam | problem with downloading | 03:56 |
| MatBoy | noodlesgc: yes I know that part, but I mean.. does ubuntu count on it and when I set it with a normal rootpass will it not break ubuntu too ? | 03:56 |
| impaler | can i remove drm I burn an audio dvd instead of an audio cd? | 03:56 |
| coagen | izinucs: i switched to aptitude like 3 or 4 years ago and I'll never go back | 03:56 |
| izinucs | LorgonJortle, It's a personal preference.. synaptic and add/remove uses apt-get.. aptitude is great for the terminal because of the terminal gui | 03:56 |
| rww | Cpudan80: Oh, I see what you mean (stupid "free" meaning two things). Yeah, that's right. Still, though, Xchat in Ubuntu is f/oss :) | 03:56 |
| markiv1982 | thanks izinucs... u mean Vm in ubuntu or in M$? | 03:56 |

| phanleson | i had a problem | 03:56 |
| izinucs | coagen, maybe for you .. but others would disagree | 03:57 |
| deokanon | please help | 03:57 |
| LorgonJortle | izinucs, thanks. I'll try both out and see which I like. | 03:57 |
| redvamp128 | deokanon: Which version of windows -- Vista or Win7? | 03:57 |
| deokanon | vista | 03:57 |
| LorgonJortle | haha | 03:57 |
| LorgonJortle | Win7 | 03:57 |
| noodlesgc | MatBoy I dont understand. You can create users that cannot sudo | 03:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | coagen: :) | 03:57 |
| LorgonJortle | I can't wait to see how shitty it is. | 03:57 |
| relsi | What's the name of the package for the add/remove tool? | 03:57 |
| markiv1982 | izinucs... how come ur msgs appear in red?? | 03:57 |
| coagen | izinucs: sure they would, but thats whats great about linux, we have choices... I can recomend what I believe is best... and so can you | 03:57 |
| izinucs | LorgonJortle, if you have a gui check out system>Admin>synaptic Package Manager | 03:57 |
| noodlesgc | !language | 03:57 |
| deokanon | win7 is out already? | 03:57 |
| phanleson | who can help me? | 03:57 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:57 |
| doughed2003 | izinucs...still nothing in the hardware drivers list | 03:57 |
| impaler | LorgonJortle I am running a vista host and a vista guest | 03:57 |
| redvamp128 | deokanon: thare is a beta out-- | 03:57 |
| MatBoy | noodlesgc: true, but I don't want it that way... a user is by default a sudoer... and that is called secure in Ubuntu :S | 03:57 |
| _slax_ | !helpme | phanleson | 03:57 |
| ryth | could someone help me get a program installed? | 03:57 |
| ubottu | phanleson: 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 | 03:58 |
| izinucs | markiv1982, because I have your nick in the line.. makes you aware that the mesage is for you' | 03:58 |
| LorgonJortle | impaler, why a guest too? | 03:58 |
| impaler | LorgonJortle I have two running on one computer at the same time | 03:58 |
| markiv1982 | izinucs, does this work in red? | 03:58 |
| LorgonJortle | izinucs, yeah, I know of that, thanks | 03:58 |
| LorgonJortle | impaler, I know, but why? | 03:58 |
| impaler | LorgonJortle right now my bro is playing crysis on the host, and here I am on the guest | 03:58 |
| noodlesgc | MatBoy so can't you just create the user than remove sudo ability? | 03:58 |
| izinucs | coagen, I leave it up to others to discover what they like | 03:58 |
| izinucs | markiv1982, yes | 03:58 |
| redvamp128 | deokanon: everyone I know that has tried to dual boot -- have said to use vista partition tool to create the space on the drive to install linux | 03:58 |
| LorgonJortle | impaler, gotcha | 03:58 |
| impaler | LorgonJortle That why I am trying to switch to ubuntu guest ;) | 03:58 |
| Fezzler | !repeat | 03:58 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 03:58 |
| Fezzler | !! | 03:59 |
| Cpudan80 | redvamp128: correct - but leave it as unpartitioned space | 03:59 |
| Fezzler | !? | 03:59 |
| Fezzler | ?! | 03:59 |
| MatBoy | noodlesgc: yep I can... but I need to login as root also with keys, so the thought behind sudo is not really that you say... wow great | 03:59 |
| impaler | LorgonJortle You can even game on the vista guest with direct9.0c because the max vram is 128mb | 03:59 |
| impaler | cant* | 03:59 |
| linny | after alot of persuasion my dad has finally made the switch to linux namely ubuntu he installed an 8.04 cd i gave him a while ago ,anyway after his install he tryed to connect to the internet with firefox and entered a search into google the browser sucsessfully retreves the search from google but when you click on a link it times out it also times out if you type in an addy in the bar, also apt wont connect to the repos, but we ca | 03:59 |
| deokanon | redvamp: thanks, that does sound like the best thing to do | 03:59 |
| izinucs | doughed2003, you might look in synaptic for envy-ng and it will help install the right driver. | 03:59 |
| Fezzler | !ubottu | 03:59 |

| impaler | LorgonJortle I meant cant | 03:59 |
| LorgonJortle | impaler, yeah, it's really limited. | 03:59 |
| coagen | izinucs: well I just want you to know that I swear I read on some ubuntu documentation site that they recomend using aptitude instead of apt-get these days... but I dont have the page in memory... anyway yeah I agree with you people should find out what they like | 04:00 |
| redvamp128 | not sure if this will work !dual boot vista | 04:00 |
| mlLK | coagen, /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_main_binary-i386_Packages was my answer | 04:00 |

| impaler | LorgonJortle opengl 2 isnt supported is it? you dont get eye candy? | 04:01 |

| LorgonJortle | imapler, I'm just trying to get to know Linux more though. I'm kind of stuck. I know enough to where all of these tutorials teach me nothing, but I don't know all that I want to about the system. I'd like to learn everything I can about Linux, but I'm not sure where to go now. | 04:01 |

| LorgonJortle | impaler, I haven't found a way to yet. | 04:01 |
| coagen | linny: your question is so long... it gets cut off | 04:01 |
| arvind_khadri | Fezzler, stop abusing the bot | 04:01 |
| impaler | LorgonJortle its possible with vmgl with linux as host, but thats as far as it goes | 04:01 |
| linny | thanks for telling me :) | 04:01 |
| sukiminna | coagen: wats the diff between aptitude & apt-get ..sumhow people advise me not to use aptitude | 04:01 |
| noodlesgc | MatBoy sorry, I'm still not seeing what the problem is. When you need root, just use sudo. its protected by your password. | 04:02 |
| mlLK | coagen, I found it w/ apt-cache showpkg coreutils | 04:02 |
| linny | after alot of persuasion my dad has finally made the switch to linux namely ubuntu he installed an 8.04 cd i gave him a while ago ,anyway after his install he tryed to connect to the internet with firefox and entered a search into google the browser sucsessfully retreves the search from google but when you click on a link it times out it also times out | 04:02 |
| deokanon | i am only using kubuntu and i am already impressed with this new OS | 04:02 |
| impaler | LorgonJortle then again, i bought cubedesktop for vista (using it right now) and im not even using it! | 04:02 |
| linny | if you type in an addy in the bar, also apt wont connect to the repos, but we can ping addys from the terminal and also pidgin works so it is connected to the internet i asked him to reboot the laptop and the router and for a while it just worked he updated to 8.10 and now its just gone back to the same thing again any ideas ? | 04:02 |
| doughed2003 | izinucs....i tryed that and the one driver that was recomended only gave me a low graphics mode | 04:02 |
| _slax_ | from what ive heard by a few ops in here they say apt-get is just as good as aptitude now a days | 04:02 |
| deokanon | windows should be like this, and this coming from me using only the live cd hehe | 04:02 |
| arvind_khadri | sukiminna, aptitude doesnt have sudo powers where has apt-get has, and aptitude is a front end for apt-get | 04:02 |
| izinucs | doughed2003, is this an old machine? | 04:02 |
| sloopy | linny, sounds like dns isnt resolving | 04:02 |
| deokanon | thank you guys for your help... i am going to install linux | 04:02 |
| Fezzler | arvind_khadri>> Sorry. Trying to learn bot and how it works. I sincerely though only I saw the "!" bot results I entered | 04:03 |
| LorgonJortle | deokanon, good ide | 04:03 |
| coagen | sukiminna: please do the research yourself, I just know aptitude works better for me, msg me and i'll tell you more | 04:03 |
| doughed2003 | izinucs......kinda | 04:03 |
| izinucs | deokanon, cool.. | 04:03 |
| LorgonJortle | idea | 04:03 |
| arvind_khadri | Fezzler, do it in the private :) | 04:03 |
| Fezzler | arvind_khadri>> ah, great tip. txs! | 04:03 |
| _slax_ | Fezzler: you can play with ubottu by typing /msg ubottu !command goes here | 04:03 |
| izinucs | doughed2003, is the current graphics card agp? | 04:03 |
| linny | sloopy how would one fix that ? all the win pcs on the network work ok | 04:03 |
| quaal | i would like to PERMANENTLY set UMASK to 002. how can i do this. every time i restart or even logout it goes back to 022 | 04:04 |
| impaler | LorgonJortle im a pro when it comes to vmware, any questions? | 04:04 |
| doughed2003 | yes | 04:04 |
| Cpudan80 | quaal: set the umask in .bashrc | 04:04 |
| doughed2003 | izinucs.........yes | 04:04 |
| LorgonJortle | I've read several threads on apt-get and aptitude. Basically, it says that they are the same, but some give different options. It's a matter of preference. | 04:04 |
| coagen | linny: i had a similar problem, udev renamed my network adapter and I had to change the config for it | 04:04 |
| Fezzler | _slax_>> where are all the bots for a channel kept? | 04:04 |
| izinucs | doughed2003, it'd be worth looking on craigs list or ebay for something newer like an agp card in the 6000 series.. won't be expensive and much easier to configure. | 04:04 |
| LorgonJortle | impaler, none right now, but I bet I'll have some. May I have an email address? | 04:04 |
| Fezzler | _slax_>> can one se a list of them? | 04:05 |
| coagen | linny: is he using a ethernet connection or wireless? | 04:05 |
| sloopy | linny, in a terminal type 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' and see if it lists the dns for your isp | 04:05 |
| sukiminna | i did some research..this is wat i found about aptitude | 04:05 |

| quinten | hey, i'm having problems with hdmi audio. It is working through mplayer and mythtv, and i have the hdmi device set to the default in my asound.conf. however, i can't get it to work with flash | 04:06 |
| coagen | linny: if so type "dmesg | grep eth0" without quotes | 04:07 |
| redvamp128 | deokanon: which version you trying to install | 04:07 |
| brad_ | I have some alsa problems to | 04:07 |

| arvind_khadri | brad_, elaborate | 04:07 |
| linny | coagen: sorry no my dads took it home just hunting for leads really | 04:07 |
| doughed2003 | izinucs..........well i thank you for your help and advice | 04:07 |
| quinten | flash is using the analog device only, not the hdmi/digital audio device | 04:07 |
| impaler | LorgonJortle no, I dont know you. its nothing personal, just a policy | 04:07 |
| ryth | arvind_khadri: I don't really mind.. I would just like to know how to install.... | 04:07 |
| coagen | linny: ok, well write down that command I told you, and type it on the machine | 04:07 |
| linny | what am i looking for ?? | 04:07 |
| brad_ | I need to append ac97_quirk=swap_hd to my module line, but I don't know how, I've added it to /etc/modprob/alsa-base | 04:07 |
| coagen | linny: if it says something like "udev: renamed device eth0 to eth1" then that is the problem | 04:08 |
| LorgonJortle | impaler, Alright, that's fine. Do you keep the same nick everytime on here? | 04:08 |
| ryth | arvind_khadri: they don't have any instructions on how to install on the webpage... or at least I can't find any | 04:08 |

| cdenny | LorgonJortle this will be my permanent one | 04:08 |
| linny | thx ill look and how would one fix that ? | 04:08 |
| coagen | linny: the only way to solve this problem is to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file and change eth0 to eth1 ... if this is the case | 04:08 |
| LorgonJortle | cdenny, Alright. I'll remember that one. | 04:08 |
| noodlesgc | ryth it may be outdated, but you could use this package http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=Second+Life | 04:09 |
| quinten | anyone know how to set which audio device flash/firefox is using in 8.10? i found some obsolete guides using ubuntu 6.10 | 04:09 |

| ryth | ah ok | 04:09 |
| brad_ | I did a modprov -vr snd-intel8x0, then a modprob -v snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=swap_hp and it does work, but i need it at boot | 04:09 |

| Gnea | brad_: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base <-- edit that and add the option | 04:11 |
| cdenny | LorgonJortle i mmean vmware | 04:11 |
| coagen | sukiminna: great, have you tried aptitude? | 04:11 |
| LorgonJortle | cdenny, Excellent. I like the new VMware, I didn't even need to install VMware tools. It did it by itself. | 04:11 |

| sukiminna | coagen: but we can remove the unused dependencies in apt-get using apt-get autoremove & apt-get autoclean rite? | 04:13 |
| coagen | sukiminna: please try aptitude, you will like it i think... also remember to completely remove a package aptitude is a little different, you must use "aptitude --purge purge pkgname" to remove a package completely | 04:13 |
| brad_ | Hardy | 04:14 |
| Gnea | grkblood13: sure, just mount it on a loop device and use k3b to drag 'n drop files from it to a new iso | 04:14 |
| grkblood13 | a loop device? | 04:14 |
| brad_ | The problem is the master does nothing, and the head phone does master | 04:14 |
| grkblood13 | u mean mount -o loop | 04:14 |
| Gnea | yup | 04:14 |
| Gnea | brad_: hrmm | 04:14 |
| coagen | sukiminna: yes this may be true, but when you use aptitude, it remembers what packages were installed with another package and removes them automatically | 04:14 |
| cdenny | LorgonJortle what version do you have? | 04:14 |
| LorgonJortle | cdenny, Hardy Heron | 04:15 |
| sukiminna | coagen: ic.. | 04:15 |
| cdenny | LorgonJortle intrepid is 8.1 | 04:15 |

| cdenny | LorgonJortle 8.04 is hardy heron | 04:15 |
| coagen | Gnea: no, it does this, i know it does | 04:15 |
| LorgonJortle | cdenny, right, and I think I have Heron. | 04:15 |
| sukiminna | coagen: it bothers me for a long time juz using without knowing for this long..thnx! | 04:15 |
| LorgonJortle | Where do I check? | 04:16 |

| Luke3 | I need some help here | 04:22 |
| LorgonJortle | coagen: that did it. Thanks. What is the -c -d for? | 04:22 |
| cdenny | LorgonJortle i get my extra hard drive wednesday, so ill give it a go then | 04:22 |
| cdenny | LorgonJortle i g2g now though, pz | 04:22 |
| nickrud | gerber, well, that doesn't tell me much. sudo apt-get install zip unzip to make sure you have the tool to unzip, then unzip client.zip in a terminal, cd'd into the directory where the file is | 04:22 |
| aero1 | tj83, what would you suggest? | 04:22 |
| tj83 | aero1, what is your computer brand? desktop or laptop? do you notice a message at boot "mp-bios bug detected?" or similar apic errors? have you checked your system logs? | 04:22 |
| LorgonJortle | cdenny, see ya | 04:22 |
| coagen | LorgonJortle: "check + development" | 04:22 |
| chilli0 | Does anyone here have a lenovo ideapad Y530 working with the webcam? i need some help i installed easycam and it didnt work and neither did cheese, its lenovo easy Camera , ekio softphone and cheese do know its there but cant show it | 04:22 |
| aero1 | tj83, it's a Thinkpad Laptop T61 Intel Pro AGN wireless card | 04:23 |
| coagen | LorgonJortle: or something like that | 04:23 |
| chilli0 | When i run cheese it knows my webcam is there , but just shows lines and a fuzzy box down the botom its a lenovo easy cam. | 04:23 |
| LorgonJortle | coagen: so those are commands for what it should check for... I wonder why it doesn't do that by default. Thanks anyway | 04:23 |
| tj83 | aero1, no hints in the system logs? | 04:23 |
| coagen | LorgonJortle: meh... neither do I :) | 04:23 |
| nickrud | gerber, but back to a critical issue: what client is it? If you show me a link that's a start | 04:23 |
| aero1 | tj83, I haven't noticed any errors on boot, and I looked at dmesg, and didn't see anything peculiar, maybe you can take a look? | 04:24 |
| Gnea | sukiminna: aptitude tends to assume that somethings need to be removed, when they don't necessarily need to be. i tend to find myself using apt-get as a result, since it gives the ability to purge as well and it doesn't try to screw me. | 04:24 |
| homecable | !chilli0 google is ur best friend | 04:24 |
| gerber | nickrud can i have instrition how to do it ny step pls | 04:24 |
| tj83 | aero1, yes pastbin that | 04:24 |
| homecable | !chilli0 google is ur best friend :P | 04:24 |
| nickrud | gerber, well, that doesn't tell me much. sudo apt-get install zip unzip to make sure you have the tool to unzip, then unzip client.zip in a terminal, cd'd into the directory where the file is | 04:24 |

| tj83 | aero1, and it as others have said, a hardware problem, bad memory one possible location, there is a mem tester on the live cd | 04:35 |
| Roland- | yeah, fedora like | 04:35 |
| aero1 | tj83 how come windows works fine? | 04:35 |
| sdlwof | because windows charges hundreds of dollars! | 04:36 |
| aero1 | that's no excuse | 04:36 |
| sdlwof | haha | 04:36 |
| Cadman21 | coagen: I got unknown host google.com? | 04:36 |
| tj83 | aero1, not saying it IS the memory or even hardware, it can also be caused by kernel panics | 04:36 |
| coagen | slashzul: you can always do it the hard way and just change everything in your /etc/apt/sources.lst file to the newer version and then do aptitude update and aptitude upgrade.... hehe thats what we used to do in debian... | 04:36 |
| coagen | Cadman21: yeah this means something is not working | 04:37 |
| tj83 | also the /var/log/kern.log aero1 should look at | 04:37 |
| aero1 | tj83, why would kernel panics happen? | 04:37 |

| chilli0 | i tryed | 04:48 |
| izinucs | chilli0, unplug it. | 04:48 |
| _2 | sukiminna no. grub2 is avalable, but the default is grub. the default needs to be upgraded in the distro install process | 04:48 |
| tj83 | sukiminna, you get grub updates automatically but grub can be managed in the /boot/grub/menu.lst | 04:48 |
| chilli0 | its onboard iznucs | 04:48 |
| apinunt | arvind_khadri: I'm following the instructions which allow them to be accessed to upgrade according to the Ubuntu help site I mentioned. | 04:49 |

| izinucs | chilli0, what happens when you try to unmount it? | 04:49 |
| rsyring | What could I try to clear that up? | 04:49 |
| _2 | sukiminna yes you just install grub2 package. | 04:50 |
| Roland- | any advantages in grub2 ? | 04:50 |
| arvind_khadri | apinunt, afaik you will have to download the alternate cd and then upgrade if you dont want a fresh install | 04:50 |
| chilli0 | umount: /dev/video0: not mounted | 04:50 |
| tj83 | sukiminna, hmm, i dunno is it in the repo? i know nothing about grub2 | 04:50 |
| chilli0 | and when i try to mout it says the same thing | 04:50 |
| chilli0 | but if i do a ls /dev/video* | 04:50 |
| _2 | roland- more powerful, it can boot things that grub never dreamed of. | 04:50 |
| chilli0 | it shows me /dev/video0 | 04:50 |
| arvind_khadri | chilli0, /dev/video isnt a block device | 04:50 |
| chilli0 | i fixed it | 04:51 |
| chilli0 | woo | 04:51 |
| izinucs | chilli0, so what makes you think something is using it? | 04:51 |
| Roland- | _2 can you provide me an example? | 04:51 |
| MaT-dg | Roland: check the website http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-2.en.html | 04:51 |
| chilli0 | it was a program called motion | 04:51 |
| tj83 | sukiminna, maybe it is in the repo as grub2 so a sudo apt-get install grub2 should do it? | 04:51 |
| jabagawee | anyone here know if truecrypt works over cifs/smb? | 04:51 |
| izinucs | chilli0, what kind of machine is this? | 04:51 |

| CaptainMorgan | and this is where I found that quote: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-478998.html | 04:57 |

| sdlwof | lotte, that what you looking for? | 04:57 |
| _2 | sukiminna i think that is correct. but grub-setup should | 04:58 |
| izinucs | apinunt, seeing at that is somewhat problemmatic.. I'd suggest just installing fresh with either 8.04 or 8.10 and tag your current /home as the new /home and DON'T format it in the process. | 04:58 |
| CaptainMorgan | oh... maybe it just means to unmount it | 04:58 |
| aero1 | does anyone know how to view dmesg for last boot? | 04:58 |
| Nomexous | aero1: 'dmesg' in a terminal | 04:59 |
| coagen | aero1: check /var/log/messages I think | 04:59 |
| aero1 | Nomexous, it only shows messages for this boot | 04:59 |
| PAS_KTRG | _2: i use dsl connection and have router.. but my friend still cant connect use my line | 04:59 |
| _2 | aero1 for the previous boot ? you can't. | 04:59 |
| izinucs | PAS_KTRG, you mean that your friend is connected to your router and still cant get on the internet? | 05:00 |
| sukiminna | _2: by that u mean grub2-setup? | 05:00 |
| Nomexous | aero1: In /var/log, I have dmesg.1.gz, dmesg.2.gz | 05:00 |
| Name141 | Is it possible to make a Wubi install larger than 30 GBs? | 05:00 |
| Nomexous | aero1: Perhaps these are logs from previous boots? | 05:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | Name141: wy not just do a normal install?.. | 05:00 |
| tsukasa | question about lvm, if i reconnect the harddrives in a different order than what i started with it should still figure it out right? | 05:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | i'm personally not very fond of wubi | 05:01 |
| apinunt | izinucs: I would have to order a CD in order to do that as I can't burn a CD. | 05:01 |
| Brack10 | I deduced from the man page on smb.conf that you can configure samba to use Windows ACLs for folder and file permissions, giving you the ability to control folder ACLs from Windows, just like you would on a folder shared by a windows machine, is that correct? | 05:01 |
| Name141 | IndyGunFreak: cause if I don't want Ubuntu , I will have to break out the XP disk to fix the MBR | 05:01 |
| Guest60113 | hi | 05:01 |
| Nomexous | aero1: I took a quick look at them, and mine aren't dated, so I can't tell. | 05:01 |
| izinucs | apinunt, not sure if it will help but there is a net install version.. | 05:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | Name141: well, then download a super grub disk... | 05:01 |
| aero1 | Nomexous: no it's this boot because the numbers on the left reset after each boot | 05:01 |
| aero1 | ok | 05:01 |
| tsukasa | Name141: no, you can remove ubuntu and grub will still boot windows | 05:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | tsukasa: well, removing ubuntu, will not remove grub, you have to format the mbr. | 05:02 |
| tsukasa | right | 05:02 |
| tsukasa | whats the problem? | 05:02 |
| dr_Willis | 'reinstall the mbr' :) | 05:02 |
| aero1 | Nomexous, the other guy was right, it's in /var/log/messages | 05:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | Name141: but the super grub disk, should re-write a windows mbr w/o issue | 05:02 |
| tsukasa | the windows bootloader isnt that great | 05:02 |

| tsukasa | question about lvm, if i reconnect the harddrives in a different order than what i started with it should still figure it out right? | 05:03 |
| coagen | tsukasa: yeah if its a recent version of ubuntu | 05:03 |
| Guest60113 | if i want to be able to run a executable without going to the folder...i need to set the PATH in the .profile right? I tried that but it still doesn't work, and when I tryp echo $PATH....i don't see the path that i entered on .profile nor do i see any of the other paths that exist already from before. Am i doing something wrong? | 05:03 |
| apinunt | izinucs: I just looked at the archive site I'm getting the errors on and the feisty directory is missing. I'm trying to do this as safely as possible as I can't chance losing what's in my home directory. | 05:04 |
| tsukasa | coagen: okay so work with me here... if i boot off the drive it will find the raid and work, but if i boot off the livecd lvm2 doesnt detect it | 05:04 |
| Name141 | And what is the advantage of running Native than Wubi ? | 05:04 |
| tsukasa | coagen: one of the drives is going bad too | 05:04 |
| izinucs | apinunt, one way some have mentioned is to edit sources.lst to the version you want and upgrade that way.. sounds risky to me.. might be better to have someone burn a copy of the cd for you.. slowly | 05:05 |
| coagen | tsukasa: hmmmm.... not sure if I know what to do there... what are you trying to do? | 05:05 |
| dr_Willis | Guest60113, you must set and EXPORT the new PATH in .bashrc normally to get it set for all shells | 05:05 |
| Guest60113 | ahh | 05:05 |
| Guest60113 | ok | 05:05 |
| rixth | What is the default postgres password with Ubuntu? | 05:05 |
| dr_Willis | Guest60113, i dont reacall using .profile | 05:05 |
| _2 | Name141 for one thing you don't have two filesystems that can be corrupted and affect your linux system | 05:05 |
| tsukasa | coagen: use the livecd to fsck it and in the eventuality that that fails, copy all the data i can off the raid, replace the drive, and recreate it | 05:05 |
| Name141 | _2: NTFS? | 05:06 |
| coagen | rixth: you have to su to the postgres user, there is no default pass afaik | 05:06 |
| Guest60113 | thats how i did it at other linux OS's | 05:06 |
| _2 | Name141 yes the ntfs and the linux fs withing the file | 05:06 |
| rixth | okay | 05:06 |
| Guest60113 | thx | 05:06 |
| _2 | within | 05:06 |
| Name141 | _2: So NTFS-whatever is not stable ? | 05:06 |
| MandrakeC | sudo su root and passwd postgres or something. | 05:06 |
| Name141 | ntfs-3d ? g? | 05:06 |
| Name141 | whatever it be. | 05:07 |
| _2 | Name141 stable is a relative term. can a worm infect it? sure it can. | 05:07 |
| coagen | tsukasa: hmm not sure if I can help you, hopefully there is someone here who can... my recomendation would be to get a spare drive froma friend or something and copy everything off.... | 05:07 |
| apinunt | izinucs: I'm in an area on the Laos border so I have little access to anything that can help. | 05:07 |
| Name141 | eh? | 05:07 |
| sukiminna | sumhow say while installing grub2 i mess up..can i get my original grub back? | 05:07 |
| _2 | sukiminna sure. install grub | 05:08 |
| _2 | sukiminna but you could fix the "messup" | 05:08 |
| izinucs | apinunt, worth ordering the cd then and just stick with what you have. | 05:08 |
| sukiminna | ic..now i can proceed installing grub2..:D | 05:08 |
| izinucs | apinunt, until you get it | 05:08 |
| Name141 | _2: So you are telling me to be worried about a windows worm screwing up Wubi cause it will be accessable through Windows ? | 05:08 |
| apinunt | izinucs: That may be all I can do if I can't access the archives necessary. | 05:09 |
| _2 | Name141 i'm telling you that if a virus or other anomily affects the ntfs you will lose linux too because it it in a file within the ntfs | 05:09 |
| worldwithout | anyone manage to get WoW to run on ubuntu | 05:09 |
| Name141 | Correct. | 05:09 |
| _2 | it is | 05:09 |
| worldwithout | i got guild wars to | 05:09 |
| Name141 | But I am wanting to "test drive" linux. | 05:10 |
| rixth | coagen, it appears (on 8.10 atleast) that there is a password. | 05:10 |
| coagen | worldwithout: not me, but I got eve online working great | 05:10 |
| izinucs | worldwithout, yes.. google will reveal tons of results.. www.google.com/linux search ubuntu WoW | 05:10 |
| hole_ | i have installed new drivers for my vid card but when i log in with anything but failsafe my screen is white but i still have my mouse cursor and nothing else | 05:10 |
| Name141 | And this seems to be the best possible way without going through oops. | 05:10 |
| Name141 | hoops | 05:10 |
| _2 | Name141 you asked about advantage/disadvantages of wubi -vs- native that's one. | 05:10 |
| Name141 | Yes. | 05:10 |
| rixth | "psql --user postgres" gives a password failed error | 05:10 |
| coagen | rixth: hmm google ubuntu hardy intrepid postgresql pass maybe... I'm really not sure | 05:11 |
| genome | after a few hours my sound stops working and i have to reboot to get it back :( | 05:11 |
| izinucs | genome, it doesn't like that kind of music.. :) | 05:11 |
| genome | lol | 05:11 |
| Name141 | I figure I will need to see if my system runs it good and I can get on Linux native programs | 05:11 |
| _2 | Name141 for a test drive sure use wubi but know that linux will preform better natively even if the amount of change is so small you cant see it. | 05:11 |
| Cadman21 | is anyone one up for helping me with a wireless card problem? | 05:12 |
| Name141 | So far I haven't found anything to replace mIRC. | 05:12 |
| worldwithout | i have another question i installed firestarter today and i ping myself and the firestater dont block a ping or a traceroute on the ip | 05:12 |
| worldwithout | am i doing somthing wrong | 05:12 |
| hole_ | Cadman21 i have major issues with anything wireless but atheros cards | 05:12 |
| _2 | Name141 what is wrong with xchat konversation irssi ... ? | 05:12 |
| Madpilot | Name141, try XChat - not xchat-gnome, but the real xchat | 05:12 |
| Name141 | Madpilot: I don't know PERL | 05:13 |
| Name141 | _2: same | 05:13 |
| Madpilot | Name141, what does perl have to do with it? | 05:13 |
| Name141 | Madpilot: scripting | 05:13 |
| Name141 | I have all my mIRC scripts ready to go | 05:13 |
| _2 | Name141 you mean for writing scripts for it... doesn't xchat also read shell scripts ? | 05:13 |
| * Name141 shrugs | 05:14 | |
| phanleson | hi | 05:14 |
| hole_ | i went through 3 brands until i figured out that it isn't worth the trouble | 05:14 |
| hole_ | i have installed new drivers for my vid card but when i log in with anything but failsafe my screen is white but i still have my mouse cursor and nothing else | 05:14 |
| Madpilot | Name141, given how popular mirc is, and likewise xchat, I'd be surprised if a lot of scripts weren't available for both... | 05:14 |
| _2 | Name141 at any rate there is always a way. that's what linux is all about | 05:14 |
| _2 | Name141 it's called freedom. :) | 05:14 |
| Name141 | _2: No, it's called getting flooded. | 05:15 |
| _2 | heh. | 05:15 |
| wolter | would it be bad to replace pulseaudio for esound? | 05:15 |
| Name141 | I suppose I could use "BitchX" | 05:15 |
| _2 | wolter doesn't pulse emulate esound ??? | 05:15 |
| bluedragon | how do delete everything associated with a file | 05:15 |
| hole_ | i have installed new drivers for my vid card but when i log in with anything but failsafe my screen is white but i still have my mouse cursor and nothing else will anyone help google wasn't much help | 05:15 |
| Name141 | it always had a lot of protection | 05:15 |
| xenex | Name141, just use mirc in wine? | 05:16 |
| Name141 | already built in | 05:16 |
| bluedragon | waht is the proper cammand | 05:16 |
| Name141 | xenex: I do , however the nicklist doesn't "refresh" right for me. | 05:16 |
| bluedragon | I think it's something like rm file* | 05:16 |
| _2 | Name141 heh. default is only the starting point on the long road to right. | 05:16 |
| wolter | _2, i don't know.. that appears as a fix to the skype in amd64 sound problem | 05:16 |
| astronomo | Hello, I have a problem with an aplication, this need libc5 I am using ubuntu 8.04, Can you hep me please? | 05:16 |
| rww | Name141: BitchX isn't in the ubuntu repositories since gutsy, because it has huge security holes. | 05:16 |
| _2 | wolter oh. ok then use it. esound should work ok. | 05:16 |
| Name141 | xenex: such as clicking a channel, then channel2, channel3 result in garbage | 05:16 |
| xenex | :/ | 05:17 |
| sheep | Name141: and I don't think bitchx is actively developed anymore | 05:17 |
| PC_Nerd | Hi, Im attempting to understand runtimes in order to place a script that runs on startup.... Is it best to run it at rc1 or rc2 for ubuntu ? (server edition) | 05:17 |
| Name141 | Well there went those ideas. | 05:17 |
| sheep | PC_Nerd: 2 | 05:17 |
| _2 | !info epic | 05:17 |
| ubottu | Package epic does not exist in intrepid | 05:17 |
| _2 | hmmm | 05:17 |
| _2 | !find epic | 05:17 |
| ubottu | Found: epic4, epic4-help, epic4-script-hienoa, epic4-script-lice, icepick (and 2 others) | 05:17 |
| PC_Nerd | sheep: Thanks! (thus multi user?), whats the purpose of 3,4,5 then if 2 is multi user? | 05:17 |
| worldwithout | what is better KDE or GNOME | 05:18 |
| pug2694328 | hiya I'm having trouble mounting an sfs share from my server to a client pc, mounts just fine in another ubuntu client, but in this one it appears to mount, but when I look in the folder it clocks incessantly, any help would be greatly appreciated | 05:18 |
| _2 | that's bitchx ^ | 05:18 |
| hole_ | GNOME!!! | 05:18 |
| sheep | PC_Nerd: they are also multi-user | 05:18 |
| pug2694328 | sfs = nfs | 05:18 |
| PC_Nerd | Whats the difference between them, is one better for certain purposes than another etc? | 05:18 |
| bluedragon | does anyone know how to use kamefu | 05:18 |
| tritium | PC_Nerd: it's largely personal preference. | 05:18 |
| Tidus | Name141: i'd just use irssi if you're looking for a good console irc client | 05:18 |
| Name141 | Someone once told me of "winex" , which now seems to be a commercial software. | 05:18 |
| hole_ | i have installed new drivers for my vid card now when i log in with anything but failsafe my screen is white but i still have my mouse cursor and nothing else will anyone help google wasn't much help | 05:18 |
| PC_Nerd | Ahh - ok thanks! | 05:19 |
| sheep | PC_Nerd: there is no difference in a default installation of ubuntu, but you can customize which programs start in which runlevels | 05:19 |
| Name141 | That would run mIRC better | 05:19 |
| _2 | !info epic4 | Name141 | 05:19 |
| ubottu | epic4 (source: epic4): epic irc client, version 4. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.6-1.2 (intrepid), package size 431 kB, installed size 1412 kB | 05:19 |
| PC_Nerd | ok, and whats the purpose of entering/starting in a new runlevel? | 05:19 |
| Name141 | Perhaps I should try different versions of mIRC or upgrade? | 05:19 |
| Name141 | (to a newer mIRC) | 05:19 |
| marmot | If anyone is running the Pan usenet newsreader I have a question. | 05:19 |
| Tidus | Name141: there are several nice irc clients built for linux. my 3 favorites are irssi, xchat, and konversation | 05:20 |
| bluedragon | how do i get my ntfs partiont to automatcally mount when i boot into ubuntu | 05:20 |
| runderwo | bluedragon: Add it to /etc/fstab. | 05:20 |
| izinucs | !mount | bluedragon | 05:20 |
| ubottu | bluedragon: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 05:20 |
| phanleson | what i must do to know a ipaddress of person on irc chanel | 05:20 |
| phanleson | ? | 05:20 |
| tritium | !runlevels | PC_Nerd | 05:20 |
| ubottu | PC_Nerd: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 05:20 |
| Name141 | Tidus: Any of them protect again flood joining? topic floods? PM floods? DCC floods? private/channel notice floods? | 05:20 |
| Name141 | against | 05:20 |
| Tidus | Name141: all of them can be configured to do so | 05:21 |
| tritium | PC_Nerd: runlevel 0 is to reboot, 1 is single-user (also called by some "recovery" mode). | 05:21 |
| bluedragon | runderwo what is fstab | 05:21 |
| _2 | tritium may i suggest that the developers think of using grub2 as default boot loader ? you are on team aren't you ? | 05:21 |
| sheep | phanleson: /whois user, but that will show their hostname instead of their IP if their IP resolves tyo a hostname and some users have vhosts or cloaks that display a fake host | 05:21 |
| Name141 | Tidus: When I look for XChat scripts, I find hardly jack. | 05:21 |
| PC_Nerd | ubottu: Thanks, but that completely confused me. So I should jsut use rc2, and hopefully the !Upstart thing I can ignore for the tiem being ? | 05:21 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:21 |
| bluedragon | not sure what that it | 05:21 |
| Tidus | Name141: because usually those kinds of things are built-in on a linux irc client | 05:22 |
| phanleson | thank <sheep> | 05:22 |
| tritium | _2: no, I'm not | 05:22 |
| Tidus | if you're looking for stuff like flood protection | 05:22 |
| izinucs | bluedragon, fstab is located at /etc/fstab and is the file that configures all the mount point of harddrives in your system | 05:22 |
| _2 | tritium oh sorry. have you confused with someone else | 05:22 |
| bluedragon | so what do i do | 05:22 |
| bluedragon | once ther | 05:22 |
| Name141 | Tidus: I would assume that xchat for windows could be compaired to the same protection of Xchat for linux | 05:23 |
| izinucs | !fstab | bluedragon | 05:23 |
| ubottu | bluedragon: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 05:23 |
| tritium | _2: no worries. I used to package for universe, but that's it | 05:23 |
| chilli0 | How can i open a webcam in cli>? | 05:23 |
| Tidus | Name141: x-chat for windows != xchat for linux | 05:23 |
| Name141 | OK | 05:23 |
| izinucs | !partitions | bluedragon | 05:23 |
| ubottu | bluedragon: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 05:23 |
| Tidus | similar code base, yes, but depends on who built xchat for windows | 05:23 |
| orpras | Every time I plug in my ipod, vlc starts playing everything on it. Does anyone know where the setting is for that? | 05:23 |
| tritium | PC_Nerd: actually, runlevel 0 is to halt the machine, and 6 is to reboot | 05:23 |
| bluedragon | last question izinucs what is gamefu | 05:24 |
| tvgv | vlcis proberly the main default change it | 05:24 |
| hole_ | i have installed new drivers for my vid card now when i log in with anything but failsafe my screen is white but i still have my mouse cursor and nothing else will anyone help google wasn't much help | 05:24 |
| bluedragon | is that a super emulator thats plays snes and nes roms | 05:24 |
| izinucs | bluedragon, gamefu? where did you hear that? I've never heard of it. | 05:24 |
| PC_Nerd | tritium: thanks | 05:24 |
| bluedragon | from add remove programs in ubuntu | 05:24 |
| tritium | PC_Nerd: you really don't need to worry about it. It's all transparent to the average desktop user. | 05:25 |
| tvgv | hole u will have a screnn resolution problem | 05:25 |
| bluedragon | i mean kamefu and gamefu samething according to some searching i did | 05:25 |
| hole_ | what can i do about it | 05:25 |
| izinucs | bluedragon, you might get more info on it from system>admin>synaptic package manager.. search for it there.. synaptic is like a super add/remove program | 05:25 |
| bluedragon | if you type kamefu in add remove programs u will se what i mean | 05:25 |

| EMPulse | sup guys | 05:25 |
| bluedragon | well i am looking for a super emulator program | 05:25 |
| _2 | anyway.... | 05:25 |
| bluedragon | that plays all kinds of roms | 05:26 |
| EMPulse | Does anyone know how to install third party plugins in pidgin? | 05:26 |
| izinucs | _2, no.. bluedragon just saw the reference in add/remove.. and wanted more info | 05:26 |
| bluedragon | snes nes sega | 05:26 |
| _2 | bluedragon apt-cache search ^snes | 05:26 |
| jcapinc | there are all sorts of emuilaters in the repository | 05:26 |
| _2 | bluedragon apt-cache show snes <or what ever the name is> | 05:26 |
| jcapinc | I dont know about sega, but I know there was snes | 05:26 |
| dr_Willis | bluedragon, theres several in the repos.. zsnes and snes9x are the 2 i use | 05:26 |
| dr_Willis | bluedragon, some are multi-system emulators also. | 05:27 |
| bluedragon | dr willis they don't work with amd64 | 05:27 |
| dr_Willis | snes9x did last i looked | 05:27 |
| dr_Willis | zsnes does not | 05:27 |
| EMPulse | Does anyone know how to install third party plugins in pidgin? | 05:27 |
| _2 | there you have it. | 05:27 |
| kernco | I've installed the amazonmp3 package, but I'm gettingan error when I run it: "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'\nwhat(): basic_string::_S_create" | 05:27 |
| hole_ | tvgv; what can i do about it | 05:27 |
| bluedragon | dr willis yeah snes9x works with no audio | 05:27 |
| jcapinc | yea, the whole 64 bit thing is still confusing to me | 05:28 |
| bluedragon | i got zsnes to work with wine | 05:28 |
| jcapinc | idk why certain programs dont work | 05:28 |
| jcapinc | y? zsnes works nativly | 05:28 |
| dr_Willis | jcapinc, 32bit only | 05:28 |
| bluedragon | I want a emulator that does it all or atleast supports a bunch of them | 05:28 |
| dr_Willis | zsnes uses ASSEMBLY code in parts of it.. so its not 64bit portable.. | 05:28 |
| savid | I installed boxee and I think it royally effed up my computer | 05:28 |
| jcapinc | oh wow | 05:29 |
| dr_Willis | bluedragon, time to hit google then i guess... | 05:29 |
| _2 | 32bit jail for zsnes ??? | 05:29 |
| dr_Willis | !find snes | 05:29 |

| SemidiosLap | Hi. I just did a clean install of Hardy. my /boot is sda1. my / is sda5. grub is installed to /sda1 not the MBR. on boot I get Grub ERROR 15. i've checked the menu.lst and it seems fine. any ideas what is wrong? | 05:29 |
| savid | I can't play any sound, it just sounds like crackling | 05:29 |
| dr_Willis | jcapinc, for more speed on low end systems from ages ago | 05:29 |

| phanleson | monodevelope | 05:36 |
| phanleson | where i can get it | 05:36 |
| _2 | sukiminna one thing i noticed on the default debian setup of grub2 is that it doesn't default to detect initramfs.img* it will detect initrd.img* so if that gives any problems check the name of the initramfs | 05:36 |
| jcapinc | Applications->add/remove | 05:36 |
| jcapinc | ssearch monodevelope | 05:36 |
| bluedragon | any word on gamefu | 05:36 |
| albuntu | transporter: i told you. try checking your sources list if they are uncommented or not and do sudo apt-get update | 05:36 |
| sheep | jcapinc: monodevelop (without the 'e' on the end) | 05:37 |
| sukiminna | _2: ok i ran it...thats it? or should i do other step..hmmm | 05:37 |
| transporter | albuntu: i did that | 05:37 |

| albuntu | transporter: what are you trying to find that you cant ? | 05:37 |
| sukiminna | _2: wow learning new things today.thnx | 05:37 |
| _2 | sukiminna like i said grub2 is a lot nicer. | 05:38 |

| jcapinc | Ekiga is a skype alternative | 05:39 |
| _2 | jcapinc right so why should we ever upgrade anything that works. we should all be using linux 2.2 kernels. | 05:39 |
| sukiminna | _2: hmm...ok try my best | 05:39 |

| hole_ | modeline? | 05:52 |
| hole_ | ??? | 05:53 |
| hole_ | no comprende | 05:53 |
| nightrid3r | hole_: modeline sets the resolutions | 05:53 |
| hole_ | is that a console command? | 05:53 |
| nightrid3r | hole_: man xorg.conf | 05:53 |
| gnutron | hole_: try the menu, system - preferences - screen resolution | 05:53 |
| sockets | is the xorg.conf supposed to be empty after a fresh install? | 05:53 |
| transporter | #pastebin | 05:54 |
| arvind_k | hole_, modeline is a section of xorg.conf | 05:54 |
| hole_ | i cant do that when i am not failsafe | 05:54 |
| arvind_k | sockets, no | 05:54 |
| === Techsalvager is now known as HentaiXP | ||
| arvind_k | sockets, as a matter of fact it can never be empty if you have devices connected | 05:54 |
| savid | seems like OSS works, but not alsa | 05:54 |
| arvind_k | savid, thats nice :) | 05:55 |
| hole_ | modeline phrase not found | 05:55 |
| arvind_k | hole_, what is it that you want to achieve? | 05:55 |
| nightrid3r | arvind_k: it is when your videocard is not suported and you fallback to vesa | 05:55 |
| savid | arvind_k, it sucks :-P | 05:55 |
| joljam | arvind did u forget me | 05:55 |

| sockets | arvind_k, i just installed ubuntu via the minimal ISO & "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop", just logged in and i wanted to edit my touchpad first and foremost because it's bothering me.. any way i can somehow reinstall just the xorg.conf? because it IS empty lol | 05:56 |
| savid | arvind_k, but at least it works. not sure how to get firefox/flash to use OSS though | 05:56 |
| hole_ | i want it to be instead of 800x600 at 60 hz to be 1024x768 at 85 hz but i cant change it for modes other than failsafe | 05:56 |
| hole_ | i am in failsafe now | 05:56 |

| nite_johnboy | Is there an icon library somewhere in Ibex ? ? | 05:56 |
| bilbo_baggins | sockets: xorg is always empty on a new install.. at least in the last 2 releases | 05:56 |

| nightrid3r | arvind_k: i had this on my laptop, just copyed my xorg.conf from my nvidia desktop and changed driver to vesa then it worked | 05:57 |
| jahnkeanater | if i make a .bin of a hard drive can i move it to anoter and windows will boot off the new one | 05:57 |
| sockets | ah so bilbo_baggins, how would i go about editing a section that doesn't exit? | 05:57 |

| hole_ | arvind_k: i want it to be instead of 800x600 at 60 hz to be 1024x768 at 85 hz but i cant change it for modes other than failsafe | 05:58 |
| arvind_k | hole_, edit the file... | 05:58 |

| savid | arvind_k, ?? not sure what you mean by that | 06:00 |
| bilbo_baggins | sockets: you "add" to xorg. or find what is controlling the touchpad and edit the conf file. | 06:00 |
| sockets | got it, thanks | 06:00 |
| hole_ | arvind_k: i am kinda scared to mess with it | 06:00 |
| arvind_k | savid, i meant that they may use it without you telling them to, just try... | 06:00 |
| arvind_k | hole_, can you paste your file at pastebin | 06:01 |
| arvind_k | !paste | hole_ | 06:01 |

| Brack10 | this page is innacurate then | 06:20 |
| Brack10 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Swat | 06:20 |
| Brack10 | it tells you to do this sudo nano /etc/xinetd.d/swat | 06:21 |

| whacked | ok that didnt work eithrt | 06:21 |
| arvind_k | Brack10, its xinetd.d | 06:21 |
| rww | Brack10: Erm, yeah. From the looks of that error message, you typed "sudo nano /etc/xinetd./swat" instead. | 06:21 |
| BlueEagle | Brack10: It could be xinetd.d and not xinet.d but it's not xinetd. | 06:21 |
| Brack10 | ohhh my bad | 06:21 |

| BellinXFelon | can anyone help me with changing the owner permissions on a external hard drive? | 06:22 |

| whacked | how could a small menu option be so difficult | 06:22 |
| Formode | whacked, You're going to need to make some vacant space to right click.... Try closing some windows, or something. I don't really know whats on your panel, but theres no reason for you to have no vacant space. | 06:22 |
| BlueEagle | !anyone | BellinXFelon | 06:22 |
| ubottu | BellinXFelon: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 06:22 |
| whacked | its condensed | 06:22 |

| Brack10 | BlueEagle, no it's not supposed to be there yet | 06:25 |
| arvind_k | Brack10, do you have swat installed? | 06:25 |
| Brack10 | yes | 06:25 |
| lyrae | How do start a custom script on startup? | 06:25 |

| rww | Brack10: sudo apt-get install xinetd | 06:25 |
| transporter | can somebody help me with my repos | 06:25 |

| nite_johnboy | Someone know where I can find an < icon library > in Ibex ? ? | 06:26 |
| rww | Brack10: I'll go ahead and add that to that page, so others won't have the same problem :) | 06:26 |
| lyrae | BlueEagle: rc.local isnt a text file...so i can't open it. how do i pop in the command? | 06:26 |
| BlueEagle | lyrae: If you want to execute it on login then you want to use ~/.bashrc | 06:26 |
| hole_ | arvind_k: ok i have figured something out, when i have the frglx drivers enabled and i dont boot in failsafe then the screen is white with a cursor only and when i restart xorg i see my desktop for a split second before being brought to the login screen | 06:26 |
| Brack10 | rww: thanks | 06:26 |

| nite_johnboy | Would like to change an Icon on my desktop.... | 06:27 |
| arvind_k | hole_, hmm so? | 06:27 |
| lyrae | BlueEagle: you're right. just has a bin icon | 06:27 |
| hole_ | i need gl to play ut2k | 06:27 |
| lyrae | so the file has exit 0. do i get rid of that? | 06:27 |
| arvind_k | hole_, which card by the way??? | 06:27 |
| strick9 | monokrome, sounds like a bad dvd, know I've seen BusyBox as an "error" before but trying to recall how I got past it | 06:27 |
| hole_ | ati radeon | 06:27 |
| Stinky | @nite_johnboy: Do you mean download new icon themes?> | 06:27 |
| BlueEagle | lyrae: No, you put the commands before it. | 06:27 |
| arvind_k | hole_, envy? | 06:27 |
| hole_ | envy what/ | 06:27 |
| lyrae | BlueEagle: python /path/to/script.py ? | 06:27 |
| BlueEagle | lyrae: I guess you could get rid of it, but it does no harm standing there. | 06:27 |
| arvind_k | hole_, how did you get the drivers for it?? | 06:28 |
| BlueEagle | lyrae: provided that python is in path, yes. | 06:28 |
| hole_ | from ati's web site | 06:28 |
| nite_johnboy | Stinky; Yes - that would be ok probably ... | 06:28 |
| strick9 | monokrome have you used this ubuntu cd before? | 06:28 |
| Stinky | http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon | 06:28 |
| arvind_k | hole_, hmm... havent you heard of envyng? | 06:28 |
| BlueEagle | lyrae: You may want to nohup or screen it (or both) | 06:28 |
| arvind_k | !envy | hole_ | 06:28 |
| ubottu | hole_: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 06:28 |
| lyrae | what does that mean, BlueEagle | 06:28 |
| Stargazer | Gnutron, that just gave all permissions to root. >:| | 06:28 |
| monokrome | strick9: Nope. I'm going to check it for defects... | 06:28 |
| gnutron | Stargazer: then sudo chmod 755 /media/disk | 06:28 |
| hole_ | no i am a noob | 06:28 |
| BlueEagle | lyrae: Is this a script that does something and then ends or does it run forever? | 06:28 |
| arvind_k | hole_, ok use envyng.... things will fall into place :) | 06:29 |
| lyrae | BlueEagle: runs forever ... until user right-clicks the tray bar icon and exits | 06:29 |
| hole_ | where is a tutorial on envying | 06:29 |
| gnutron | Stargazer: its group is root, you are the owner | 06:29 |
| arvind_k | hole_, i gave it to you | 06:29 |
| BlueEagle | lyrae: Then you want: nohup python /path/to/script.py & | 06:29 |
| BlueEagle | lyrae: You ofcourse would need to install nohup. | 06:29 |
| arvind_k | !envyng > hole_ | 06:29 |
| ubottu | hole_, please see my private message | 06:29 |
| nite_johnboy | Stinky; I installed a program with Wine I don't make care for the look of icon associated with it and would like to change it to something else. | 06:30 |
| Stargazer | Gnutron, i want to change the group... it may be the reason why VirtualBox cannot gain acess to it. | 06:30 |
| nite_johnboy | don't much care for it | 06:30 |
| lyrae | BlueEagle: what if i dont want noshup? (im putting this on my site for download.. so i wanna make it convenient for users) | 06:30 |
| gnutron | Stargazer: sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /media/disk | 06:30 |
| BlueEagle | lyrae: What that does is allow the script to keep runing in the background without hanging up (ie. no hang-up.. nohup) | 06:30 |
| Stinky | @nite_johnboy: Rightclick the shortcut on desktop, properties, then click the icon and choose another | 06:30 |

| lyrae | BlueEagle: better yet, how do i add this to ubuntu repository? | 06:31 |
| BlueEagle | lyrae: Without nohup and the & then the boot process may stop while waiting for your script to exit, which it won't do. | 06:31 |
| Stargazer | Gnutron, the group, currently, is root. i want the group to be 'adam' (me). | 06:31 |
| lyrae | BlueEagle: Then i guess starting it up at login is ok | 06:32 |

| whacked | nope | 06:50 |
| kalvin_ | is there like an 'open as admin' option | 06:50 |
| * gangas going to the toilet, i will read my messages soon | 06:50 | |

| leo_ | whacked try adding the window list to your panel... | 06:51 |
| DasEi | P4C0:it's there already is for samba | 06:51 |
| hole_ | if it does not work soon i might swich distros and see if i have better luck | 06:51 |
| gnutron | kalvin_: why do you want a text file in a protected directory | 06:51 |
| DasEi | P4C0:sudo apt-get install swat | 06:51 |
| jedi06 | how do you alias a rm to mv trashbin? | 06:51 |
| P4C0 | DasEi i installed samba and swat but swat is not up | 06:51 |
| arvind_khadri | hole_, did you open it? then choose the manual driver thing... | 06:52 |
| DasEi | P4C0:sudo swat | 06:52 |
| whacked | thanks that worked | 06:52 |
| * gangas back | 06:52 | |
| P4C0 | DasEi let me try | 06:52 |
| arvind_khadri | P4C0, inetd is to be installed | 06:52 |
| jedi06 | anyone? | 06:52 |
| kalvin_ | i installed xampp and it says to put the files in htdocs but its protected so i cant | 06:52 |
| hole_ | arvind_khadri: there is only one ati driver selestion so i just did automatic | 06:53 |
| arvind_khadri | hole_, ok no probs | 06:53 |
| white-sheep | kalvin_: Protected? Or did it say you don't have the permission? What's the directory. | 06:53 |
| whacked | thanks again OK | 06:53 |
| arvind_khadri | P4C0, its xinetd | 06:53 |

| kalvin_ | white-sheep: permissions | 06:53 |
| hole_ | wow it went through and asked me to reboot i'll be right back | 06:54 |
| P4C0 | DasEi seems to be up but still i can't log in | 06:54 |
| gnutron | kalvin_: use sudo mv files then you should set their permisions and owner.group | 06:54 |
| white-sheep | kalvin_: Ahh. You can either chown the folder or you can use "gksudo nautilus" It'll make you an admin. | 06:54 |
| white-sheep | For temporary. | 06:54 |
| leo_ | can someone tell me how to set up evelution mail? | 06:54 |
| russ5811 | strick9, you still here? | 06:54 |
| monokrome | stix_: "Install Inside Windows" solved the issue, I believe. | 06:54 |
| nickrud | !lamp | kalvin_ | 06:54 |
| ubottu | kalvin_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 06:54 |
| gangas | DasEi: it says no signal | 06:54 |
| kalvin_ | thanks a lot guys | 06:55 |
| tritium | gangas: check linuxtv.org, on the dvb wiki, ATSC devices. Make sure that that card is supported. | 06:55 |
| DasEi | P4C0: check your /etc/samba/smb.conf | 06:55 |
| P4C0 | DasEi ok, thanks | 06:56 |

| jedi06 | alias rm mv ~/.local/share/Trash/files/ | 06:57 |
| P4C0 | DasEi seems not to be anything about swat there, what should I look for? | 06:57 |
| jedi06 | doesn't work | 06:57 |
| gnutron | jedi06: that doesn't make sense | 06:57 |
| shavin | i installed privoxy and tor thru synaptic. Now i have opened the privoxy config file and i understand i have to change the listen-address here. what should i change to? i have a laptop which connects to my netgear router, i have not assign any ip address to my laptop, i am not sure what my address is, and maybe it changes everytime i boot up. please help | 06:57 |
| jedi06 | gnutron i'm trying to alias rm to mv trashbin | 06:58 |
| gangas | DasEi: Pastebin of lspci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/106263/ | 06:58 |
| mib_nogh3b | is there any software in ubuntu that allows me to record video from a connected camera? like a preinstalled on? | 06:58 |
| DasEi | P4C0:it is nothing swat there, it's samba config-file, where you can adjust how samba behaves (swat is just a graphical solution for it) google tells you a lot | 06:58 |
| jedi06 | gnutron alias rm='mv ~/.local/share/Trash/files/' | 06:58 |
| P4C0 | DasEi i know, but that means I can't use swat in ubuntu server? that was my question | 06:59 |
| mib_nogh3b | likw windows movie maker can capture vidfeo from a camera | 06:59 |
| gnutron | jedi06: if you alias rm, rm is foobar'd | 06:59 |
| DasEi | P4C0:as it's there you can | 07:00 |
| sarmisak | P4C0: you can, but you can also use webmin also for configuration. | 07:00 |
| gnutron | jedi06: invent an alias thats not a command | 07:00 |
| koshari | mib_nogh3b if its a DV cam kino | 07:00 |
| nickrud | !webmin | sarmisak P4C0 | 07:00 |
| ubottu | sarmisak P4C0: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 07:00 |
| DasEi | gangas: SAA7134 << the chip, can get it working with ubuntu, but need module for it, not precompiled in kernel | 07:01 |
| gangas | DasEi: Where do i find it? | 07:01 |
| P4C0 | thanks nickrud, but is webmin same as swat? | 07:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | P4C0, No its not | 07:01 |
| jedi06 | gnutron that was the whole point | 07:01 |
| jedi06 | i want to abolish rm | 07:01 |
| nickrud | sarmisak, P4C0 but I've been told that webmin is working on support. No first hand experience | 07:01 |
| Gobby | hey guys, is there like a ¨beginners¨ guide to ubuntu perhaps? | 07:02 |
| nickrud | P4C0, I don't see swat in the repos; if it's not there it's probably for a similar reason to webmin | 07:02 |
| gnutron | jedi06: mv ~/.local/share/Trash/files/ doesnt have files to mv or a target | 07:02 |
| mib_nogh3b | koshari: it is one of those little cheap cameras that is a camera, webcam, and can also be used to capture video on a computer | 07:02 |
| sarmisak | nickrud: I've been using it a lot for configuration, yes it does break in some configuration parts but it's good to go with samba in my experience | 07:02 |
| mib_nogh3b | and is there a installed prog to do this? | 07:02 |
| gnutron | jedi06: it makes no sense, maybe im tired. | 07:02 |
| P4C0 | nickrud i did a apt-get install swat and it worked | 07:02 |
| Flannel | Gobby: try help.ubuntu.com, it will walk you through a good deal of common tasks | 07:03 |
| jedi06 | i think the alias is just a substitution gnutron | 07:03 |
| Gobby | Okay flannel, will do thanks :) | 07:03 |
| jedi06 | rm will expand to the mv | 07:03 |
| nickrud | P4C0, it's not in my intrepid list, you mush have an older editon | 07:03 |
| sarmisak | !ebox > sarmisak | 07:03 |
| ubottu | sarmisak, please see my private message | 07:03 |
| gnutron | jedi06: no, you dont want to abolish rm. glad youre not a developer | 07:03 |
| jedi06 | oh you are right gnutron | 07:03 |
| gangas | DasEi: do you know it> | 07:03 |
| hole_ | where is a cheap place to get a matrox video card | 07:03 |

| jedi06 | well i'll keep thing about it | 07:04 |
| Flannel | transporter: Whats wrong with your repos? | 07:05 |
| DasEi | gangas: sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) | 07:05 |

| gangas | DasEi: sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) says: Couldn't find the package | 07:06 |
| Flannel | transporter: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 07:06 |
| miranda_psi | jedi06: is the alias a permanent one? (i.e. lasts between using different shell) | 07:06 |
| JamesWC | My jesus...my blanket fell and i tried to grab it and hit myself in the balls...not only am i not kidding, but im in pain. | 07:07 |

| transporter | Flannel: hardy | 07:09 |
| Rohan_SM | no its a software | 07:09 |
| tritium | DasEi: hopefully ubuntu, as that's the topic for this channel | 07:09 |
| gangas | DasEi: 8.10 | 07:09 |
| arvind_khadri | hole_, you rebooted? | 07:09 |
| hole_ | yes | 07:09 |
| hole_ | arvind_khadri: yes | 07:09 |
| tritium | !envyng | gangas, arvind_khadri | 07:09 |
| ubottu | gangas, arvind_khadri: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 07:09 |
| macvr | Rohan_SM: oh... i not sure of the command though... could ask again in bit if u dont get a response | 07:10 |
| Flannel | transporter: And you're having trouble following this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype | 07:10 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, i know about it :) thanks | 07:10 |
| Rohan_SM | Thanks I ll do bit googling :-D | 07:10 |
| DasEi | gangas: sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) | 07:10 |
| arvind_khadri | hole_, then what happened why did you shift to opengl? | 07:10 |
| gangas | tritium: what you mean? | 07:10 |
| DasEi | gangas: sure there was no typo ? | 07:11 |
| gangas | DasEi: trying | 07:11 |
| tritium | gangas: we strongly advise against using it | 07:11 |
| P4C0 | hmm but swat was working fin in desktop version | 07:11 |
| gangas | i am copying | 07:11 |
| hole_ | arvind_khadri: so i can play ut2004 | 07:11 |
| tritium | gangas: and arvind_khadri shouldn't be recommending it | 07:11 |
| gangas | generic | 07:11 |
| P4C0 | is there a reason why server version doesn't have a inetd while the desktop does? | 07:11 |
| transporter | Flannel : im not having trouble with the page i had downloaded skype earlier from the repos but now i don't see it there anymore afer the stupid updates | 07:11 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, well then can you suggest me someother way of making cards work...anyways envy is official now | 07:12 |
| gangas | DasEi: mine is generic but nothing like that exist! | 07:12 |
| DasEi | p4CO: server has, too, look in /etc/init.d | 07:12 |
| tritium | arvind_khadri: the ubuntu-packaged drivers are recommended | 07:12 |
| arvind_khadri | hole_, ok so you got the display with the drivers from envy? | 07:12 |
| P4C0 | DasEi 8.10? mine doesn't | 07:12 |
| tritium | envyng is packaged, but not recommended | 07:12 |

| Gobby | Okay sir, where is this and how do install? | 07:26 |
| chilli0 | Gobby: im looking for i | 07:27 |

| chilli0 | it* | 07:27 |
| Gobby | okay | 07:27 |
| kj4 | dmsuperman, what version of ubuntu? | 07:27 |
| dmsuperman | kj4: Intrepid | 07:27 |
| chilli0 | Gobby: http://fontex.org/download/tahoma.ttf/Tahoma.ttf , wait a few secs then it will download | 07:27 |
| kj4 | dmsuperman, there is a checkbox in the connection settings that says 'connect automatically' and another one below that that says 'system | 07:28 |
| P4C0 | inetutils-inetd 2:1.5.dfsg.1-8ubuntu1 or openbsd-inetd 0.20080125-1 ? | 07:28 |

| Flannel | Gobby: drag and drop, go to places > home folder, and then hit ctrl-h to show hidden files, then you should see ".wine" as a directory | 07:29 |
| kj4 | dmsuperman, so i just made a a new connection and it worked fine, | 07:29 |

| arvind_khadri | Luke3, whats it all about, which application... | 07:31 |
| Luke3 | um | 07:32 |
| dmsuperman | kj4: Even to test I didn't login to gdm, went into a TTY after boot, and did /etc/init.d/networking restart | 07:32 |
| Gobby | Give me like 3 or 5 mins chili, thanks very much for helping | 07:32 |
| chilli0 | nps | 07:32 |
| dmsuperman | kj4: It didn't acquire an IP | 07:32 |
| Flannel | tv7497: That's a misconfigured theme it looks like. But, the majority of those are warnings, it probably won't affect anything if you ignore it. | 07:32 |
| Luke3 | I I applied the 3d background | 07:32 |
| Luke3 | I need to download this plug in | 07:32 |
| fsufitch | hey guys, i'm having an issue with firefox. the "awesomebar" searches for multiple words and returns the relevant webpage fast, but not for single words. for example, "google mail" brings up gmail in about 2 seconds, while "gmail" brings it up in about 15 seconds. anyone have any idea what's going on with it? | 07:32 |
| Luke3 | but I'm having trouble | 07:32 |
| kj4 | dmsuperman, i've found that ubuntu has issues when you directly edit config files | 07:32 |
| Luke3 | Let me link | 07:32 |
| tv7497 | Flannel: what can be done to make it alright sir ? | 07:33 |
| dmsuperman | kj4: I undid my manual changes | 07:33 |
| chilli0 | fsufitch: it has to search a lot more with 1word | 07:33 |
| dmsuperman | kj4: I logon and it immediately connects, but that doesn't really help me :( | 07:33 |
| kj4 | dmsuperman, it's a great distro, my favorite, but probably not best for those with deep linux skills | 07:33 |
| Flannel | tv7497: You'd have to fix whatever was wrong with your Dust Aurora theme (or just remove it entirely) I'm not really all that knowledgable about theming. | 07:33 |
| Gobby | lol, chilli i still have to download/ install so will be an hour but, what are the steps after that? | 07:33 |
| kj4 | dmsuperman, if I suggest you install wicd again, then you'll just get angry because i'm repeating myself, so i wont | 07:34 |
| fsufitch | chilli0: what do you mean? isn't it just using the "i'm feeling lucky" of google? google's not slow for a single word | 07:34 |
| chilli0 | Gobby: just run it | 07:34 |
| tv7497 | Flannel: thanks sir | 07:34 |
| dmsuperman | kj4: I may just give it a try if I can't get anything else to work | 07:34 |
| kj4 | dmsuperman, ok | 07:34 |
| dmsuperman | kj4: The issue is when you don't use the defaults, the people here are less likely to help you | 07:34 |
| chilli0 | fsufitch: im not to sure , but it has to go through more search terms to find it | 07:34 |
| Gobby | it will work after just simply running it? | 07:34 |
| chilli0 | Gobby: yes | 07:34 |
| kj4 | dmsuperman, yes, i have noticed that too | 07:34 |
| chilli0 | if not come back and ask and ill try to help | 07:35 |
| Gobby | Thanks very much chillil0 :) | 07:35 |
| fsufitch | chilli0: the odd thing is i dont remember this happening before, although my memory could be faulty | 07:35 |
| Alca7raz1 | i have a problem, i just switched to another teminal (ctrl-alt-F1) to do some stuff, but now in the gui i have no keyboard | 07:35 |

| Luke3 | To install this plugin, along with a wealth of other entertaining and useful plugins for CompizFusion, select the "compiz-fusion-plugins-extra" package through your favorite package manager or apt. A great guide to installing CompizFusion on Ubuntu can be found on the Ubuntu Forums. | 07:35 |
| Luke3 | What exactly does this mean? | 07:35 |
| chilli0 | fsufitch: if its new it could be the app , try reinstalling | 07:35 |
| Luke3 | Where do I find this? | 07:35 |

| ziroday | kj4: well its incompatible with the already installed network-manager. You can only have one or the other. Removing network-manager is not recommended. | 07:40 |
| kj4 | ziroday, gotcha. I've had good luck doing it that way though | 07:41 |
| blip- | hi all, i have a FAT32 partition which i've set to automount via "/dev/sda8 /media/share vfat defaults,rw,auto,umask=000,iocharset=utf8 0 0" and it automounts perfectly and i have write access for weeks... but now i just booted my pc and tried writing to it, it says don't have write access.... ls -l shows everything as being owned by root but i suspect that's because the mount somehow didn't go through correctly... what could've happened here ? thanks | 07:41 |

The first time i ever used it i could strtch it to any size i want, but when i opened it for a seocnd time it was too long in the horizontal direction for my monitor. The window is just to wide. I tried to resize it and shink it but it will only let me expand its width, its not allowing me to decrease it. But i can decrease or increase the height just fine. Does | 07:44 |

| Peddy | Laurenceb: It's ok to kill it if you're not using flash. It's rather unstable. It works by using a wrapper to stick in the 32-bit flash, because there was no native 64-bit flash around when Intrepid was released, however Adobe released an Alpha (it might be Beta now) of native 64-bit flash, which I find is a lot more stable than the nspluginwrapper workaround. | 07:55 |

| baz | user___, i'm new to mysql - i've heard of phpmyadmin, just wanted to make sure it was one of the better ways | 09:21 |
| DarkKnight | arvind_khadri; i tried to execute a program and its asking me to give arguments...what does this mean | 09:21 |
| baz | and safest | 09:21 |
| grkblood13 | ive already had to put patches in wine and recompile it to get where im at now | 09:21 |
| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, np... i never got to know how to compile the hello world program | 09:21 |
| baz | user___, what about a management studio type of solution? | 09:22 |
| user___ | baz: "management studio"? | 09:22 |
| dominique | hi | 09:22 |
| DarkKnight | arvind_khadri; i compiled successfully..but when executing its asking me arguments instead of executing | 09:22 |
| baz | user___, thats the application you use to manage ms sql servers | 09:22 |
| grkblood13 | no1? | 09:22 |
| baz | user___, excellent by the way - probably the nicest sql enviornment i have seen | 09:23 |
| jaem | hello | 09:23 |
| user___ | baz: dont know that one, sorry. | 09:23 |
| baz | user___, its like a navicat | 09:23 |
| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, i am not able to compile at all , how did you compile>? | 09:23 |
| user___ | baz: suggestion: read the wikipedia article about phpadmin and check their website. then you tell for yourself if phpmyadmin is for you | 09:23 |
| baz | user___, basically a local application that u can use to attach to different db's and manage them | 09:23 |
| DarkKnight | just press F9 | 09:23 |
| DarkKnight | arvind_khadri; press F9 | 09:24 |
| RFXC | hey can someone help me with sending a dcc file | 09:24 |
| jaem | I've used Ubuntu for about 2 years, and am currently running Arch on my main machine. I noticed that in Ubuntu, you could blammo xorg.conf, and it would generally figure things out by itself. If I do that on my current (Arch) system, it just complains and/or hangs. | 09:24 |
| jaem | is that a distro thing? | 09:24 |
| jaem | or am I just configuring things wrongly? | 09:24 |

| AtomX1211 | anyone know of any good alternatives to the gnome desktop? | 09:25 |
| rww | AtomX1211: KDE, XFCE.... there's a whole bunch. | 09:25 |
| DarkKnight | AtomX1211; kde | 09:25 |
| jaem | ATomX1211: LXDE is nice for lightweightness | 09:25 |
| enzotib | jaem, #archlinux | 09:25 |
| jaem | KDE 4.2 is due out in 9 days, and it's shaping up to be awesome | 09:25 |
| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, doesnt work, the screen goes dim for a second and then if i click on screen it resumes | 09:25 |
| AtomX1211 | cool I will check them out :) | 09:25 |
| AtomX1211 | I have used kde before I really liked it | 09:26 |
| rww | AtomX1211: for KDE and Xfce, install kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop, respectively | 09:26 |
| AtomX1211 | never used xfce though | 09:26 |
| cMad | arvind_khadri: How can I get Ubuntu back on one kernel? Two present themselves in grub atm, and their histories. How can I remove one? | 09:26 |
| DarkKnight | arvind_khadri; if it goes dim that means its getting hanged...consider reinstalling it again | 09:26 |
| RFXC | can some one help me I am having a sending a DCC file | 09:26 |
| jaem | enzotib: sorry, but I wasn't asking for help fixing the problem (I asked there), but rather, to find out if it's something that Ubuntu does differently than others, or if it's just my problem | 09:26 |
| DarkKnight | can anyone tell me any tools to create flash | 09:26 |
| AtomX1211 | so there is no way to just set them up on normal Ubuntu? | 09:26 |
| sheep | RFXC: in which client? | 09:26 |
| AtomX1211 | I have to get a special set | 09:26 |
| Flannel | cMad: the older versions are older kernels, you can remove them through your favorite package manager. | 09:26 |
| RFXC | can some one help me I am having a problem sending a DCC file | 09:26 |
| arvind_khadri | cMad, use apt-get | 09:26 |
| AtomX1211 | I would like to be able to run diffrent sessions on this computer | 09:27 |
| AtomX1211 | my wife loves gnome | 09:27 |
| AtomX1211 | I am not a big fan | 09:27 |
| Flannel | cMad: The duplication, is likely a kernel, and its recovery mode. Which is normal. | 09:27 |
| sheep | AtomX1211: most desktop environments have their own packages in the repositories | 09:27 |
| dominique | AtomX1211: You got Kubuntu? | 09:27 |
| rww | AtomX1211: you can install both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop on the same computer. | 09:27 |
| === HarassmentPanda| is now known as HarassmentPanda | ||
| Flannel | AtomX1211: That's fine. Install kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop and you'll be able to choose which session to use when you log in | 09:27 |
| cMad | Flannel: arvind_khadri: I'll give that a go then, thought there was more to something as core as that. Cheers :) | 09:27 |
| AtomX1211 | and will it boot to where I can just use diffrent sessions or do I have to restart it to do so? | 09:27 |
| dominique | AtomX1211: No | 09:28 |
| Flannel | AtomX1211: Log out, choose at GDM/KDM when you're logging in. | 09:28 |
| dominique | Atomx1211: Just choose in the login screen in sesssion type | 09:28 |

| jaem | enzotib: I realize it may be somewhat OT, but I've spent hours banging my head against the wall, and I'd like to know if I'm banging my head on the *right* wall, or not | 09:28 |
| dominique | AtomX1211: You can even run KDE and Gnome at same time on the machine | 09:28 |
| DarkKnight | Flannel; any idea of tools for creating flash | 09:28 |
| AtomX1211 | good good | 09:28 |
| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, you using the one from repo's right? | 09:29 |
| sheep | AtomX1211: you might need to restart the display manager after installing new desktop environments. To do that, just do sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart | 09:29 |
| AtomX1211 | well thank you again I am off to download kubuntu | 09:29 |
| enzotib | jaem, in any case, i think asking in that channel can be useful too | 09:29 |
| user___ | baz: the webserver doesnt have to run on the db machine, it can also run on your local machine | 09:29 |

| doublewulf | !chroot | 09:32 |
| ubottu | chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) | 09:32 |

| airco_ | following that "guid" | 09:34 |
| jaem | airco: those, you'll have to compile | 09:34 |
| jaem | give me a sec | 09:34 |
| airco_ | hmmm | 09:34 |
| Brack10 | ok so adding "force user" to my samba share breaks it. Windows says "the group name could not be found", Ubuntu says "invalid argument" anyone have any idea where to go from here? | 09:34 |
| grkblood13 | nope | 09:34 |
| ziroday | airco_: where are you up to? | 09:34 |
| jaem | airco: how far have you gotten? | 09:34 |
| jaem | I helped my friend with this a few days ago | 09:35 |
| airco_ | wel it seems that the file in /etc/modules has the last 3 lines (fuse ; lp and ath_pci ) | 09:35 |
| jaem | okay, so you've built the module, then? | 09:35 |
| jaem | according to the first part? | 09:35 |

| DarkKnight | arvind_khadri; ya even i am getting the same message | 09:36 |
| airco_ | not that i noticed | 09:36 |
| jaem | okay | 09:36 |
| jaem | and your wifi still isn't working? | 09:36 |
| airco_ | correct | 09:36 |
| baz | i installed phpmyadmin on ubuntu LAMP thru apt-get, and it said it would configure apache automatically for me - how do i access it now? | 09:36 |
| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, seems like a bug or something... | 09:36 |
| jaem | airco: what's the output of iwconfig? | 09:36 |
| DarkKnight | arvind_khadri; maybe the only solution is we can enable the terminal plugin and execute it through the terminal | 09:36 |
| airco_ | how do i look it up ? :/ | 09:37 |
| jaem | open a terminal | 09:37 |
| jaem | run iwconfig | 09:37 |
| jaem | slap it in http://pastebin.ca, and give me the link | 09:37 |
| airco_ | terminal says command not found | 09:37 |
| ziroday | baz: try http://localhost/phpmyadmin | 09:37 |
| jaem | airco: are you running GNOME? | 09:37 |

| jaem | sorry | 09:37 |
| airco_ | yep | 09:37 |
| jaem | okay | 09:38 |
| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, but that doesnt serve the purpose of having an IDE, does it? | 09:38 |
| airco_ | ubuntu 8.10 32bit | 09:38 |
| jaem | airco: type iwconfig | 09:38 |
| airco_ | lo no wireless ext | 09:38 |

| airco_ | eth0 no wireless | 09:38 |
| airco_ | pan0 no wireless | 09:38 |
| ziroday | baz: glad to hear it | 09:38 |
| jaem | airco: that's all? | 09:39 |
| airco_ | yea | 09:39 |
| baz | ziroday, i looked at apache.con in /etc/apache2 for hints and i saw nothing related to it - should i have looked somewhere else? | 09:39 |
| airco_ | not reading anything more | 09:39 |
| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, ok, lemme just do something :) will hit back if i get something | 09:39 |
| transporter | can somebody recommend a good diary software for hardy | 09:39 |
| airco_ | terminal is waiting for next command | 09:39 |
| DarkKnight | arvind_khadri; ok...hey do u know any tools for creating flash | 09:40 |
| ziroday | baz: nope, it would of copied the files into /var/www and thats accessed by doing http://<domainname>/<foldername>. | 09:40 |
| baz | transporter, to get a better idea whats a competing software u know of? | 09:40 |
| jaem | airco: did you try restarting networking? | 09:40 |
| baz | ziroday, ah, ok | 09:40 |
| jaem | (sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart) | 09:40 |
| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, nope... | 09:41 |
| airco_ | (ty :p , doing it naw ) | 09:41 |

| TABASCO | arvind_khadri: Ah! Thanks a lot! | 09:41 |
| airco_ | nop | 09:42 |
| baz | transporter, so lets start by u telling me why a wordprocessor wouldnt do? | 09:42 |
| airco_ | stil nothing :( | 09:42 |
| baz | transporter, ever seen "basket" | 09:42 |
| rww | !u > baz | 09:42 |
| ubottu | baz, please see my private message | 09:42 |
| transporter | baz: no | 09:42 |
| ziroday | baz: then its probably setup to direct to /usr/share/phpmyadmin or something similar. If this is just a local server with X you might want to install rapache, its a graphical configuration utility for apache | 09:42 |
| arvind_khadri | TABASCO, np :) | 09:43 |
| baz | transporter, its like onenote for microsoft - but i would say even better - easy to organize, can be done by date, etc. | 09:43 |
| TABASCO | arvind_khadri: Okay, that's all.. bye! | 09:43 |
| jaem | airco: let me see if my friend with the AspireOne is still up... | 09:43 |

| transporter | baz: ok but what is it? | 09:43 |
| dominique | How to configure the terminal emulator? | 09:43 |
| ziroday | dominique: Right click > Profiles > Profile Preferences | 09:44 |
| baz | transporter, its an application for kde that allows u to write notes, documents, but a lot more - google it, i think u will like it | 09:44 |
| dominique | ziroday: Thank > you | 09:44 |
| transporter | baz: what is it again basket? | 09:44 |
| baz | transporter, yeah >> http://basket.kde.org/ | 09:45 |
| transporter | baz: but i have hardy | 09:45 |
| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, we should be able to build the stuff after compilation | 09:46 |
| transporter | baz: having hardy will it be a problem? | 09:46 |
| DarkKnight | arvind_khadri; in the sense? | 09:46 |
| baz | transporter, thats ok... even tho hardy, by default, uses gnome as a window manager, it doesn't mean you can't use kde apps - it will download a few more files the first time - but it will run just fine | 09:46 |
| jaem | airco: It's kind of late here, so I'll have to ask him tomorrow | 09:47 |
| shams | hi, i want to write and archive our school booklets with my laptop. do you think with which software i can do it? | 09:47 |
| airco_ | sure np | 09:47 |
| airco_ | its 10:47 here :p | 09:47 |
| airco_ | am | 09:47 |
| baz | transporter, many people use amarok, which is a kde app, even tho they are on gnome - there is a big difference between using kde for apps and kde as the entire window manager | 09:47 |
| dr_Willis | shams, openoffice is handy. Unless you want somting more 'desktop publishing' oriented | 09:47 |
| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, there is a build option, it should be clickable | 09:47 |
| jaem | airco: I can probably get back to you in about 9 or 10 hours, if you're around | 09:48 |
| baz | transporter, unles u are ridiculously short on hard-drive space, there is almost no reason not to use a kde app u like | 09:48 |
| airco_ | i'l make sure i'l be here | 09:48 |
| jaem | okay | 09:48 |
| DarkKnight | arvind_khadri; yes we have compile option in that...and we have execute also | 09:48 |
| transporter | baz: thanx a lot really appreciate it :D | 09:48 |
| airco_ | thx dude :) | 09:48 |
| transporter | one question | 09:48 |
| transporter | baz: one question would be can u use smileys in this | 09:48 |
| jaem | airco: I think he ran into the same problem, and I don't think it was terribly complicated... but I can't remember | 09:48 |
| baz | ziroday, i did find phpmyadmin is /usr/share/phpmyadmin - how is apache looking there? | 09:49 |
| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, can you see the build thing just below compile? can you hit it? | 09:49 |
| baz | transporter, my pleasure :) | 09:49 |
| transporter | baz: can u use smileys in this app | 09:49 |
| DarkKnight | arvind_khadri; its not enabled... | 09:49 |
| ziroday | baz: erm probably /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/somethinghere | 09:49 |
| bullgard4 | What configuration file determines what program is called if I click on a Flash video filename? | 09:50 |
| baz | transporter, hehe, i'm not sure exactly - u mean do characters get transofrmed into little gif images of faces? probably not, i don't have it installed at the moment | 09:50 |
| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, thats what the problem is i guess... iirc in the earlier versions of anjuta we had to compile, then build and then execute | 09:50 |
| oskar- | shams, perhaps you want to take a look at scribus | 09:50 |
| DarkKnight | arvind_khadri; i used to do that when i had debian | 09:50 |
| transporter | baz: my question was could it be possible | 09:50 |
| baz | how do u pronounce this folder >> /etc | 09:51 |
| sal | :) | 09:51 |
| sal | i quess not | 09:51 |

| arvind_khadri | DarkKnight, am trying to do with a simple hello world one... | 09:56 |
| emma | I just typed mount and it confirms what I was thinking it was from dmesg | 09:56 |

| DarkKnight | arvind_khadri; now i just wrote a simple hello program and the compile option is being disabled | 09:57 |
| emma | I'm going to do a dd to fill it with random data so I wanted to be quite sure which device it is :) | 09:57 |

| szer0 | quibbler: i think its something with the video card... since my previous card didn't do this. but its not occuring in vista so it has something to do with what gets disabled when compiz starts. | 10:37 |
| oskar- | hejdixon, sorry, wrong... i read falsely | 10:38 |
| sarmisak | baz: i tried to say, just allow root to connect from localhost | 10:38 |

| sarmisak | baz: ok, that's the correct way, but just try reading about the user table of mysql | 10:40 |
| baz | sarmisak, i see what u are saying.. right now mysql is not allowing outside connections... since phpmyadmin is local it has access... and phpmyadmin allows outside connections... right? | 10:42 |

| netyire | but yeah, I believe it's safe. It's only unsafe if the system's running a program with known vulnerabilities, listening on an open port. | 11:08 |
| oskar- | Ihat, you can create a line in the /etc/fstab for it... | 11:08 |

| nbeebo | bazhang, no point | 11:08 |
| bazhang | nbeebo, then offtopic | 11:09 |
| netyire | nbeebo: it's safe so long as you're sure there are no open ports, or if there are, that the program listening on the port is up2date and from a trusted source | 11:09 |
| dayo_ | SiDi: i'm in Xubuntu (xfce4). You should have a Settings Manager | 11:09 |

| dsevigny | then samba isn't gonna let you give him non guest access | 11:39 |

| Jimmey | When following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux ; I can boot Kubuntu but the partitioner on the installer fails to see my disk, it just doesn't bring it up - So I can't select a partition to install to. Does anyone know how to get around that? Or any other method of installing Kubuntu on a separate partition without the use of a CD/DVD/USB? | 12:21 |
| jrib | ysgst: nor do I. You have a group called "nogroup" | 12:22 |
| mikebeecham1 | jrib: done that.....I enter manual, put in my desired static IP, netmask, gateway, and untick "system setting"....I then lose connectivity | 12:22 |
| ysgst | jrib: thanks | 12:22 |
| mikebeecham1 | it does set the ip to what I want, but I cannot then access the internet | 12:22 |
| jrib | mikebeecham1: hold on, let me try using nm. (I'll get disconnected) | 12:22 |

| gompa | mikebeecham1 did you set your dns ? | 12:23 |
| Imaginativeone_ | how do I create a separate, internal lan? | 12:23 |
| mikebeecham1 | gompa, would that be something like openDNS? | 12:23 |
| Jimmey | predder, I ask because I have no USB disks big enough and my CD Drive is bust. | 12:23 |
| mikebeecham1 | and if so would it be xx.xx.xx.xx, xx.xx.xx.xx | 12:23 |
| predder | Jimmey: P5K something I guess. Newish chipset but Kubuntu should see it unless you have an old version? | 12:24 |
| gompa | mikebeecham1 for exaple, your internet provider has one to | 12:24 |
| Jimmey | I'll get the exact motherboard version, 1 sec. | 12:24 |

| mizipzor | im trying to get a file from a friend who knows nothing of computers, even installing an ftp client is out of the question... is there any program that is http based with a big red button that says "upload" or something? :p | 12:24 |
| dr_Willis | mizipzor, theres plenty of web sites yu can upload files to.. or email | 12:25 |
| Jimmey | predder - P5N73-AM | 12:25 |
| dr_Willis | mizipzor, irc and other im clients can also transfer files | 12:25 |
| mikebeecham1 | gompa: I understand what you mean..,.openDNS would be the preferred DNS settings. I have tried these and same result | 12:25 |
| Jimmey | predder, I didn't have this trouble when I installed first time using a USB disk | 12:25 |
| mizipzor | dr_Willis: the file is a ~500 mb, uncompressed avi so most sites dont allow that big | 12:25 |
| predder | Jimmey: one sec | 12:25 |
| Jimmey | K. | 12:25 |
| mizipzor | dr_Willis: yes, first we tried was msn, but the transfer speed you get there sometimes is painfully slow | 12:26 |
| Bomber87 | hello all! | 12:26 |
| gompa | mizipzor compress and make torrent | 12:26 |
| predder | Jimmey: it looks like your controller supports AHCI | 12:27 |
| predder | The nforce 610i | 12:27 |
| Jimmey | predder, not to sure what that means :-P | 12:27 |
| === puddle is now known as puddle` | ||
| predder | are you familiar with going into the system bios? | 12:27 |
| Jimmey | Yep | 12:27 |
| mizipzor | gompa: easy now, im trying to get the file from a friend who cant even figure out how to install a ftp client to connect to my server... | 12:27 |
| linxeh | mizipzor: if you configure your machines/firewalls/NAT router properly with the correct port forwarding then IRC and IM transfers should be pretty fast, as they will go peer-to-peer rather than via the servers | 12:27 |
| linxeh | mizipzor: your friend can use Internet Explorer to connect to your FTP sever | 12:28 |
| predder | jump into the bios and switch your hard disk controller type from native or legacy or whatever they have it set to at the moment to AHCI if you can | 12:28 |
| mizipzor | linxeh: yes, but that only gives the option to download, correct? | 12:28 |
| predder | it's an alternate way of the operating system talking to your disk controller | 12:28 |
| predder | hence, kubuntu being able to see your disks | 12:28 |
| Jimmey | predder, is there a big difference? | 12:28 |
| linxeh | mizipzor: ok, yes unfortunately :) | 12:28 |
| predder | not performance wise no, but compatibility wise for linux - yes. | 12:28 |
| predder | be aware, you'll need AHCI drivers for your windows install if you have one | 12:29 |
| predder | otherwise windows won't be able to see your hard drive mid boot | 12:29 |
| Jimmey | predder, AHCI is better for Linux? | 12:29 |
| predder | yes it is | 12:29 |
| Jimmey | predder, oh brilliant. | 12:29 |
| predder | what, AHCI support in Linux or windows? :P | 12:29 |
| predder | Vista _should_ support it but I don't know off the top of my head | 12:30 |
| Jimmey | Is AHCI better when using Linux though | 12:30 |
| predder | but I know for sure you need drivers for xp to work | 12:30 |
| predder | think of it as a universal language for an operating system to talk to your disk controller | 12:30 |
| uriol | are you buddhist ? gompa ? | 12:30 |
| === mnemON is now known as root-ubuntu-pl | ||
| predder | at the moment, Linux doesn't know how to speak to your disk controller | 12:30 |
| predder | but AHCI is like an agreed language | 12:31 |
| predder | that both Linux and your disk controller understand | 12:31 |
| Jimmey | predder, sweet | 12:31 |
| predder | windows doesn't understand it without a driver (well, neither does linux but the driver is in the kernel already) | 12:31 |
| gompa | uriol nah just a dutch stoner | 12:31 |
| predder | good luck. Just remember to take note of what your current setting | 12:31 |
| predder | so you can change it back if AHCI doesn't work | 12:32 |
| Jimmey | predder, wish me luck then. | 12:32 |

| sky_ | how i can change system font ? | 13:27 |
| rubenv | system -> preferences -> appearance -> fonts | 13:27 |
| soreau | jxander: You can set a virtual line in x conf or attempt to use 1280x800 for both screens.. there is not really a way to tell gnome to handle this since it's an X issue and you're running two different screens at different resolutions | 13:27 |

| ubottu | Aron_, please see my private message | 13:43 |
| soreau | jxander: Then you have even yet further options. The open sourced radeon drivers now support that chipset which means while using them, you could use xrandr to configure resolutions dynamically (without restarting X) | 13:43 |

| michaelyao | harlemdavvey, try using a theme change? | 14:06 |
| fosco__ | harlemdavvey: system - preferences - appearance - personal - icons | 14:06 |

| jrib | LetsGo67: I was just remarking that you had the problem for a long time | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | henry__: then sudo modprobe usbcore | 14:06 |
| zorobot | henry__: to check ntfs partition from errors? | 14:06 |
| n2diy | harlemdavvey: ok, I don't understand how you can play with the file, if nobody has permission to use it? Unless your running as root, which is a bad idea. | 14:06 |
| henry__ | thank you...but what does that command do? | 14:06 |
| michaelyao | marw, have you partitioned the disk in windows beforehand? | 14:06 |
| Enissay | from where can i download some alert sounds please? | 14:06 |
| harlemdavvey | fosco: i have no "personal" and "icons" | 14:06 |
| Baz__ | if i wanted to replace the words "places" and "system" with custom icons, what theme would that be in? | 14:06 |
| Baz__ | on my panel that is | 14:06 |
| zorobot | i am not sure, i think it is packaged in hardy | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | marw: if this is the first install, it wont as you will have no partitions on the drive, they need creating | 14:07 |
| henry__ | zorobot_ so sorry i definitely misunderstood u request | 14:07 |
| michaelyao | baz_ a theme is a complet change in everything | 14:07 |
| michaelyao | so if you just wanna change place and system | 14:07 |
| michaelyao | go to | 14:07 |
| marw | yes, winxp is on the disk, with slackware on linuxt partition (wanna remove slack) | 14:07 |
| michaelyao | system - preferences - appearance - personal - icons | 14:07 |
| zorobot | henry__: or even gutsy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ntfsprogs | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | henry__: removes all usb modules then reinserts them | 14:07 |
| harlemdavvey | fosco: i'm on "icons" but i don't know what to do because i have not a "install new icon set" button.. | 14:07 |
| Baz__ | michaelyao, aha | 14:07 |
| LetsGo67 | jrib: yet the instructions I got were "use gThumb or F-Spot", but the problem is, I don't and can't use them. | 14:07 |

| jrib | LetsGo67: wait, you can't access the pictures at all? | 14:08 |
| michaelyao | btw, deviant art is a great place for themes everyone | 14:08 |
| michaelyao | wonderfull artists there, most are free | 14:08 |
| marw | ActionParsnip: yes, winxp is on the disk, with slackware on linux partition (wanna remove slack) | 14:08 |

| ActionParsnip | bjbum: use cursors to scroll up and down and you can see what your system did as it booted (inc detect mouse) | 14:10 |
| outbackwifi | harlemdavvey: one way is to extract them and copy them into /usr/share/icons | 14:10 |
| marw | ActionParsnip: i can't format and re-use linux partitions? | 14:10 |
| LetsGo67 | jrib: anyway, g2g, ttyl | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | zorobot: sudo dpkg -i file.deb | 14:10 |
| michaelyao | sorry Baz, do you have the images somewhere on the harddrive already? | 14:10 |
| harlemdavvey | outbackwifi: you mean extracting the icons in a new folder or the icons themselves? | 14:10 |
| zorobot | dependency not satisfiable error. Can I force dependency to be installed automatically? | 14:10 |
| quibbler | harlemdavvey, system>perferences>apperances click install | 14:10 |
| Baz__ | michaelwoo, not really but i could find an image for testing no problem | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | marw: yeah if you want, just use advanced disk setup and simply mark the partitions for formatting | 14:10 |
| === MooseOfTheMother is now known as netyire | ||
| Baz__ | michaelyao, not really but i could find an image for testing no problem | 14:10 |
| outbackwifi | harlemdavvey: i would extract them into a new directory that clearly identifies that icon set | 14:10 |
| henry__ | ActionParsnip_: still doesnt works | 14:10 |
| outbackwifi | harlemdavvey: this then shows up in the preferences menu | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | zorobot: try sudo apt-get install /path/to/debfile.deb; sudo apt-get -f install | 14:11 |
| marw | ActionParsnip: ok, thank you for the answers. bye! | 14:11 |

| bjbum | ActionParsnip, ok. I've been using the mouse fine with ubuntu for the past year or so. Just today it stopped working when I booted up :( I'll search again | 14:24 |
| Baz__ | is beryl the *competition* to compiz? if i download a beryl theme am i disabling or interfering with compiz? | 14:24 |
| dabear_ | keyboard shortcuts under preferences did not work | 14:24 |
| dabear_ | it didn't list those settings at all | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | bjbum: did you perfoem any updates? does it work under an older kernel? | 14:24 |
| jxander | soreau: :) yeah... i kinda had a problem with video playback, like it wasn't fast enough, broken frames... maybe open source drivers will do better... :) thanks for your help soreau! | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | dabear_: you could map the ctrl key to meta key so they are identical | 14:25 |
| scientes | how do i set apache ServerName? | 14:25 |
| soreau | jxander: Just remember for the open drivers, you should be using the xv video method for your player and use exa rendering method | 14:25 |
| === [maurice] is now known as nitridr | ||
| deany | scientes: /etc/apache2/apache.conf in there | 14:25 |
| dabear_ | ActionParsnip, sure, but then again, I'm not sure I want that | 14:26 |
| jxander | soreau: cool, will remember that! | 14:26 |
| scientes | i typed ServerName $FQHN in main <virtualhost> | 14:26 |
| soreau | jxander: If you get stuck and need further help with getting open drivers working, you can visit #radeon or even #compiz-fusion | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | dabear_: you'd just gain an extra shift key | 14:26 |
| Baz__ | dabear_ i know how to do it for the "windows" or "super" key... is that the same for oyu? | 14:26 |
| scientes | or do i have to name my virtualhost | 14:26 |
| deany | scientes: apache.conf add ServerName whatever on a new line anywhere... save | 14:27 |
| Baz__ | dabear_, what does that key do now? | 14:27 |
| deany | name to me is the machine name.. thats all i do anyways | 14:27 |
| scientes | didnt work | 14:27 |
| outbackwifi | harlemdavvey: the Desktop is inside your home. and your home is inside /home/ | 14:27 |
| deany | whats the problem? | 14:27 |
| scientes | oh wait, needed to beout side virtualhost | 14:27 |
| bjbum | ActionParsnip, i remember doing an update to CUPS a day or two ago I think. Not sure if that would interfere with my mouse. I can't remember the last time I updated the kernel though. Is there a way to check when you last upgraded the kernel? | 14:27 |
| dabear_ | Baz_, It currently does nothing, however, I want to have two different meanings for cmd+c(copy text) and ctrl+c( quit running app in terminal) | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bjbum: not sure dude, try booting to an older kernel just to test | 14:29 |
| Cyber_Hades | eny ? | 14:29 |
| dabear_ | Baz_, seems like it is recognized by gnome as super | 14:29 |

| Claire2009 | g0th - i think so. not sure. how do i find out? | 14:37 |
| jrib | kurrata: I imagine you could write a wrapper and associate the filetype with that wrapper. Inside the wrapper, you check the location and open the file with the appropriate program | 14:38 |
| drpc | I copied my partition and later I installer the grub of a live cd | 14:38 |
| Baz__ | dabear_, there's an eerie option labelled "swap keycodes of two keys when mac keyboards are misdetected by kernel" which i know is not your case but its damn close | 14:38 |
| Dark | ezerhoden: no, I just look at the properties | 14:38 |
| outbackwifi | g0th: your cdrom has an error | 14:38 |
| n8tuser | g0th-> you seemed to have a bad burned cdrom or your cdrom drive is heating up a bit, let it cool down | 14:38 |

| g0th | I checked at the end and it is ok | 14:38 |
| n8tuser | g0th-> then let it cool down for a few | 14:38 |
| soreau | kurrata: In theory, you could write a script that detects which directory the file is in and run different applications so you just point those files types to your script to do the sorting.. but that would be more of a #bash thing if you don't know how to bash script | 14:38 |

| n8tuser | lasivian -> yes, gksuo gconf-editor and drill down to apps/nautilus or volume manager perhaps to look for registry to disable auto opening of a window when you mount a drive | 14:48 |

| jrib | harlemdavvey: you said before you didn't want these privileges | 15:17 |
| harlemdavvey | jrib: i've done what was told me to do here | 15:17 |
| harlemdavvey | jrib: i've unchecked "administer the system" | 15:18 |
| harlemdavvey | and this is the result.. i'm not able to know the sudo pass xD | 15:18 |
| jrib | harlemdavvey: because you said you didn't want this user to be an administrator anymore | 15:18 |
| harlemdavvey | yes exactly | 15:18 |
| jrib | harlemdavvey: so I don't see what the problem is | 15:18 |

| harlemdavvey | jrib: i had the power to change my privileges before doing this.. | 15:19 |
| jrib | harlemdavvey: and now you don't, which is what you said you wanted. What has changed? | 15:19 |
| harlemdavvey | now i cannot enter the system configuration tools neither because i'm not sudo.. evidentely something was wrong.. | 15:19 |
| jrib | harlemdavvey: I asked you if you had another user who was an administrator and you said yes, use that user | 15:20 |
| harlemdavvey | jrib: if i write on the terminal the sudo command it's like if i don't know the sudo password.. why? | 15:20 |
| jrib | harlemdavvey: because that's what it means to not be an administrator. | 15:20 |
| Nadal80 | goodevening | 15:20 |
| harlemdavvey | jrib: wait.. it's telling me about the sudoers file.. what's that? | 15:21 |

| harlemdavvey | jrib: i wanted to be administrator but i didn't want the Sudo function be always active in the terminal | 15:21 |
| jrib | harlemdavvey: ok. Login as your other user that is administrator and give this user administrator rights again | 15:21 |
| harlemdavvey | jrib: i just want to be able to enter a password in the terminall .. every password i had, is not the right one now.. | 15:22 |
| harlemdavvey | jrib: this is what i would like to do, but how can i do? | 15:22 |
| jrib | harlemdavvey: ok. Login as your other user that is administrator and give this user administrator rights again | 15:22 |

| temppy | Guest37757: I don't see why you can't just resize the partitions | 16:31 |
| JonathanEllis | Matic: Can you explain please? It happens when I open certain webpages, particularly carelessly written pages intended for Internet Explorer or with I guess carelessly written javascript or java apps in them and then all instances of Firefox grey out in all tabs and I lose control of Firefox for a while. All other apps are ok though so I am confused why that would be an ubuntu problem rather than a Firefox problem | 16:31 |

| vigo | deany: Thank you | 16:43 |
| JonathanEllis | Matic: The other problem with upgrading the graphic card is that I dont have an AGP slot, only PCI and not PCI Express so that makes finding a suitable graphic card rather tricky. Besides one of the purported benefits of Ubuntu is that it is supposed to be suitable for older hardware that is written off under the "upgrade, upgrade, upgrade" philosophy that is forced on windows users | 16:43 |

| Matic | JonathanEllis, well if you are a programmer i think you would understand that firefox and EI are built in different tools, firefox tools are more dense and that's why firefox is the best browser which is very hard to hack and therefore optimisation is necessary. what I didn't tell you is that I had the same problem as you and I had to upgrade my Gcard and everything works fine.

| AETE_KRAUUD | SherlawkDragon, : it is the commercial version of wine | 17:18 |
| jrib | SherlawkDragon: what are you trying to install? In general you should be using software from the repositories through a program like synaptic | 17:18 |
| jrib | dsevigny: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you | 17:18 |
| SherlawkDragon | I think that might be what I have... I don't know though... | 17:18 |
| SherlawkDragon | oh, no, never used that... | 17:18 |
| ThoMe | hello. | 17:19 |
| stefg | !webmin | dsevigny | 17:19 |

I don't know which driver it had and all of the settings in xorg.conf (I'm | 17:35 |

| hughit | when i run my finger over the microphone i hear noise in the speakers but it cant capture my voice when i try to record\ | 18:35 |
| tul | oCean_ jrib i'm a total idiot regarding scripts. | 18:35 |
| tul | ill work on it. | 18:35 |
| Baba_B00ie | LorgonJortle, the problem with that is it's my laptop not a desktop.. so installing a 3d card might be a little difficult don't you think lol ? | 18:35 |
| sketch2002 | hughit, try double-clicking on the icon for sounds next to your clock and then preferences, then looking for a mic that's not turned on, once you turn it on, maybe it's muted? | 18:35 |
| hughit | ive done that too | 18:35 |
| sketch2002 | *scratch muted, try turned really low | 18:35 |
| hughit | didnt help | 18:35 |
| soreau | hughit: Have you configured the program you're trying to use for the mic correctly? | 18:36 |
| sketch2002 | mute the one you adjusted and see if you still get the noice when tapping the mic, maybe you changed the wrong one | 18:36 |
| hughit | which device should i be using? | 18:36 |
| oCean_ | tul: numerous options to the bash shell make linux extremely powerful. :) | 18:36 |
| LorgonJortle | Baba_B00ie: Yeah, it would. So difficult it wouldn't be worth it. I'm on a laptop too, but I have a good graphics card.... Are you able to enable desktop effects? | 18:36 |

| sketch2002 | what about mic boost? | 18:36 |
| sketch2002 | stereo mic? | 18:37 |
| hughit | when i put mic and micboost on full i get a high pitch squeek | 18:37 |
| Baba_B00ie | yeah i can.. i've done a little tweaking here and there to get things moving.. i just stayed away from compiz because i didn't have a 3d accel card. plus i rather divert all my cpu cycles to proccessing rather than eye candy.. | 18:37 |
| Baba_B00ie | i'm not big on eye candy anyway | 18:37 |
| Anonimo | Ola! | 18:38 |
| tul | any working oss for ubuntu right now? alsa fails do work. | 18:38 |
| sketch2002 | hughit, that high pitch squeek is feedback, meaning that your mic hears your speakers, plug in headphones and see if it goes away | 18:38 |
| arezey | what package provides the snd_ctl_open module? | 18:38 |
| oCean_ | joeb3_: tul: jrib's suggestion "mkdir {1..100}" will do. Even if you wish to add prefix like "mkdir dir{1..100}" | 18:38 |

| __mikem | daktari, download an iso of ubuntu and burn it | 20:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darknezz, I wont use nor recommend wubi and obviously not support it. I strongly suggest you read what wubi is and how it differs from a regular install | 20:35 |
| __mikem | daktari, ubuntu ISOs come with wubi on it now | 20:35 |
| daktari | hold on i'll check that out | 20:35 |

| __mikem | vigo, I always had better luck with using wubi off of the ubuntu install CD | 20:36 |
| __mikem | MK13, he is probably not comfortable doing it | 20:36 |
| Trel | alephant: I actually don't need to have anything bound to cycling the TTY so just if there was a way to unset that, it'd be ok if it wasn't replace with anythign else | 20:36 |

| tawt | <n8tuser> no it's not | 20:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BCampbell, Glad you got it,, tons of people have issues with that card | 20:42 |
| Trel | alephant: but wouldn't that make it not work with any program? | 20:42 |
| Gerinych | im trying to install a network printer - lexmark x73 shared on windows. i used samba. when i try to print a test page the printer seems to freeze up, it took a page but it wouldnt print anything | 20:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !cups | 20:43 |
| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 20:43 |
| n8tuser | tawt if it is not, then nothing was upgraded. upgrade should have put those kernel and initrd there (new) | 20:43 |
| alephant | Hm. | 20:43 |
| maco | tawt: its also possible that you went from like -3.20 to -3.21 which doesnt make a new entry in the menu. only going to -4 would do that | 20:43 |
| tawt | n8tuser: maco: ok, i typed in the command, now what's happening | 20:44 |
| alephant | Probably? So you either want to set it to nul or to itself -- that's why I say look at the ``dumpkeys'' output -- you want to make it do the same thing as pressing `a' (send yourself) | 20:44 |
| BCampbell | Jack_Sparrow: doubt I did anything great. Maybe just lucky. The drive is very small 68.8 K can email it to you if you'd like | 20:44 |
| MK13 | what is the right kernel for 8.10 anyway? | 20:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BCampbell, Just a link to pass on to others is all I need. I dont have one. | 20:45 |
| alephant | Does that make sense? Like don't bind alt-right to "switch console", but to "alt-right" | 20:45 |
| sockets | n8tuser, should i check out 8.04? i've been playing around with 8.10 for a few days.. have you tried both? what do you recommend? | 20:45 |
| tawt | maco: it says my system is up to date | 20:45 |
| n8tuser | sockets -> my preference is the stable LTS | 20:45 |
| alephant | Trel: look at keykode 59 (F1): | 20:45 |
| mars__ | hi | 20:45 |
| BCampbell | Jack_Sparrow: http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=10792 I think is the driver link | 20:45 |

| vyom_at_prg | can anyone please help in installing xserver-xorg-video-intel on intel g41 chipset? | 20:45 |
| alephant | Trel: http://pastebin.ca/1311913 | 20:46 |
| mars__ | what is a good practise to backup imap servers automatically? | 20:46 |
| Lokiase | hello all, when I shut down ubuntu it stays on the logout spash screen, where can I change that option so ubuntu and my pc shut completely down? | 20:46 |
| jim_p | vyom_at_prg, me! is there a reason installation fails? | 20:46 |
| vigo | n8tuser: That is one of the reasons I reverted , I also needed the server stuff. | 20:46 |
| DasEi | mars__:you want to store the mails locally ? | 20:46 |
| mars__ | i have root login to that server but it is external (not in lan). | 20:46 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> look at your /var/log/messages to see where it hangs | 20:46 |
| vyom_at_prg | jim_p, The installation is fine | 20:46 |
| Trel | alephant: I'm still confused, if I modifiy it in any way, won't that make it no longer get picked up by other programs run from that terminal? | 20:47 |
| maco | tawt: then it was probably an upgrade that *doesn't* require a new menu.lst entry | 20:47 |
| mars__ | DasEi: yeah... over internet. thus the line must be secure. | 20:47 |
| n8tuser | vigo -> a good idea. | 20:47 |
| Lokiase | n8tuser: isnt it just an option? | 20:47 |
| vyom_at_prg | jim_p, but after that when I choose intel as the driver in xorg.conf..it says (EE) No devices found | 20:47 |
| vigo | :-) | 20:47 |
| alephant | Trel: Right now it *isn't* being picked up by other programs. That's the problem. | 20:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lokiase, that is more of an acpi apic or apm issue, fixed by command line / grub changes | 20:47 |
| Gerinych | im trying to install a network printer - lexmark x73 shared on windows. i used samba. when i try to print a test page the printer seems to freeze up, it took a page but it wouldnt print anything | 20:47 |
| maco | tawt: your kernel's naming format is something like 2.6.27-3.20 (for example). if the 27 or the 3 changes, you get a new entry. if the 20 changes, you don't. | 20:47 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> well see if the kernel syslog it in there | 20:47 |
| tawt | maco, but when i do "uname -r" i get "2.6.24-22-generic" | 20:47 |
| DasEi | mars__: if you wanto get your hands dirty configure fetchmail or instaead take thunderbird and make it store local | 20:48 |
| alephant | Trel: right now alt-right is bound to "increment console'. you want it to be bound to 'alt-right', passed through to whatever program has stdin open. | 20:48 |
| alephant | hang on | 20:48 |
| alephant | I'll prove it to you :-) | 20:48 |
| Lokiase | Jack_Sparrow: how can I change it?, i'm noob in ubuntu... | 20:48 |
| BellinXFelon | I am new to xubuntu, and I have a seagate free agent external hard drive, when i plugged it in it auto-mounted, but I cannot write anything to it nor save anything to it, I need to know how to change the permissions/owner of the drive | 20:48 |
| sockets | anything missing from 8.04? | 20:48 |
| maco | tawt: right, because only the 24 and 22 really matter for the ABI | 20:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lokiase, Im working on some stuff and busy, just trying to point you in the right direction | 20:49 |
| jim_p | vyom_at_prg, give me some time to think | 20:49 |
| DasEi | BellinXFelon: open a trml... | 20:49 |
| Trel | wait, woudl that be bound in the /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/defkeymap.map file? | 20:49 |
| Adyeths | would anyone happen to know why 8.10 seems to cause my computer to randomly lock up? I didn't have this problem with 8.04 and its really starting to get aggravating. | 20:49 |
| mars__ | DasEi: Ok i guess i will look into both and figure out what is best. thanks. | 20:49 |
| BellinXFelon | ok | 20:49 |

| Lokiase | Jack_Sparrow: your pointing is to difficult for me :( | 20:49 |
| maco | tawt: the package should, i think say the . bit, but it doesnt change the ABI, so proprietary drivers (like fglrx for ati cards) dont need to be reinstalled | 20:49 |
| remco_ | can anyone help ? | 20:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | im trying to get imperishable night running through wine but the fps is hell slow how can i improve it? I think the problem is due to directx but not even sure | 20:49 |

| maco | Adyeths: did you check the release notes? | 20:50 |
| tawt | maco, so is there any way to boot into a kernel designed for 8.10 instead of still using the 8.04 kernels i have? | 20:50 |
| DasEi | BellinXFelon: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 20:50 |
| maco | tawt: you can install one | 20:50 |
| mars__ | DasEi: I do not have a mailprovider ;) | 20:50 |
| tawt | maco: how would i go about that | 20:51 |
| remco_ | Has anyone an idea about the dist-upgrade error ? | 20:51 |
| mars__ | DasEi: my server on the other side. | 20:51 |

| MK13 | errr, i really don't like wine :( | 20:52 |
| darius__ | MK13: try cedega i guess :) | 20:52 |
| Adyeths | well, I don't use wifi. so thats not whats causing my problems. | 20:52 |

| MK13 | well, u know what i mean | 20:52 |
| maco | tawt: packages.ubuntu.com, find the 2.6.27-x-generic where x is the highest number. install that one. but if youve got binary ati or fglrx, you'll have a problem. because then you need the newer graphical drivers, and then you need a newer X and then you need to upgrade all your graphical apps... | 20:52 |
| vyom_at_prg | jim_p, default driver with ubuntu allows me 1280X1024 so,,i am ok with untill you/me or someoine else finds a solution | 20:52 |
| erUSUL | MK13: try the comercial derivatives you pay but you get support. cedega | 20:52 |
| maco | tawt: at least, its possible to get into that mess if you need binary drivers | 20:52 |

| cesar8 | Escriba el texto aquí....hola | 20:52 |

| MK13 | nah, it not that important (I dual boot vista + ubuntu) just was trying some consolidation | 20:53 |
| sockets | what do you guys recommend 8.04 or 8.10? only answer if you've tried both... | 20:53 |
| cesar8 | hola | 20:53 |
| jim_p | vyom_at_prg, cant you just... pin the resolution in xorg.conf?? | 20:53 |
| maco | sockets: 8.04 | 20:53 |
| Lokiase | maco: shows the bar, counts the bar off and doesnt power off | 20:53 |
| oipat | EraZ: Use a plaintext file with a number and increment it? Dunno if its a good solution, though | 20:53 |
| sockets | thanks maco | 20:53 |
| maco | Lokiase: is this after you've suspended or hibernated then resumed or always? | 20:54 |
| Trel | alephant: I'm completely lost here | 20:54 |
| Lokiase | maco: a fresh install, nothing changed | 20:54 |
| maco | sockets: 8.04 has older stuff, a few less features, but its gotten a lot more stability updates | 20:54 |
| antonehenry | could someone please help me with my second hard drive? the last thing i need to do is let it accept me editing it's contents | 20:54 |
| Trel | not only can I not figure out what to do, but when I tried to do a cat on /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/defkeymap.map to hopefully get some idea | 20:54 |
| maco | Lokiase: but did you boot up fresh then try to shut down, or did you suspend in between? | 20:54 |
| Trel | that files doesn't exist | 20:54 |
| EraZ | oipat: i thought of something like that, but how do i increment the number when the script is activated? I wouldn't know how to do it (absolute beginner...) | 20:54 |
| Adyeths | sockets: I would say go with 8.04 because 8.10 randomly locks up for no apparent reason. | 20:54 |
| MK13 | sockets: agree with maco, I use 8.10 but can tell it is buggier than 8.04 | 20:54 |
| Kyosys2 | could somebody please help me getting linux to recognize my plustek 9636t parallel port scanner? | 20:54 |

| vyom_at_prg | jim_p, I have tried that jim | 20:54 |
| oipat | EraZ: depends on the language | 20:54 |

| alephant | Trel: what's the problem? The manpages and webpage are pretty clear... I can't really help you understand unless you ask actual questions... | 20:55 |
| EraZ | oipat: can i do with with just the bare shell scripting (no perl , ..) | 20:55 |
| Lokiase | maco: i installed ubuntu, installed all updates, and restarted, now I shut it down but it doesnt power off | 20:55 |

| EraZ | oipat: Ok thanks, i'll google some more then :) | 20:56 |
| Trel | alephant: I'm not understanding either man pages OR that site. Next I tried to look at the keymap file to see what it said so maybe I could get an idea from that, and the FILE DOESN'T EXIST | 20:56 |
| jim_p | vyom_at_prg, make it big and precise. the values are not dynamically chosen if they are not there. they are RANDOMLY chosen | 20:56 |

| jim_p | vyom_at_prg, here is my xorg.conf. really exagerated on the fglrx options, but you will get an idea http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf | 20:57 |
| alephant | Trel: Yeah, that part is outdated. But ``dumpkeys'' will show you what the current keymap is. Same thing as looking at the file. | 20:57 |
| antonehenry | Jack_Sparrow: thanks for looking. where would i include a mountpoint | 20:57 |
| Trel | "Next, we have to assign the scancode to a keycode. This is done using the command setkeycodes. This requires some care, as it is not obvious which keycodes are actually free for use. You can get some idea by looking in the defkeymap.map file." | 20:57 |

| Trel | alephant: Ok, I think I have some idea what I need to change, and what I need to change it TO, but can't seem to figure out how to CHANGE | 21:03 |
| n8tuser | Rencx -> here is a snapshot of the book http://www.sobell.com/UB1/index.html | 21:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, ah | 21:04 |
| sergio | hola buenas alguien por ahi | 21:04 |

| Lokiase | n8tuser: pulseaudio: failed | 21:05 |
| Rencx | n8tuser yes but how it will help to slove my problem? | 21:05 |
| alephant | Trel: look at that web page, where is says "loadkeys - << EOF" | 21:05 |
| n8tuser | Rencx -> understanding how things work in linux helps you understand and hopefully solve the issues | 21:05 |
| AHemlocksLie | is there any way to figure out your Ubuntu version from inside Windows? | 21:05 |
| Trel | alephant: he's adding, I'm trying to change it | 21:05 |
| MK13 | peri: is there not a button that looks like links to move them seperatly? | 21:05 |
| marks | bazhang? como faço iso? | 21:06 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> look for some more clues, most likely i suspect its like networking failing to shutdown properly | 21:06 |
| antonehenry | Jack_Sparrow: i am using xubuntu, just in case that matters for some reason | 21:06 |
| Rencx | n8tuser i will read other guides but can you help me for now? | 21:06 |
| bazhang | marks, brasil? | 21:06 |
| alephant | Trel: What do you think you think you have to change and what you need to change it to? | 21:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | AHemlocksLie, Do you have the ext driver install in windows for accessing your ext drive? | 21:06 |
| bazhang | marks, /join #ubuntu-br | 21:06 |
| Lokiase | n8tuser: bonobo-activation-server connection refused | 21:06 |
| n8tuser | Rencx -> what was the issue? things went so fast i got distracted | 21:06 |
| AzulFin | AHemlocksLie: if you can read /etc/lsb-release from linux drive you can find out version | 21:06 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> look at the tail end (shutdown), not at the beginning (booting) | 21:07 |
| Trel | I think I need to change "alt keycode 106 = Incr_Console" to "alt keycode 106 = meta_keycode 106" | 21:07 |
| Trel | I might be 100% wrong | 21:07 |
| marcolovich | anyone here from ottawa? | 21:07 |
| AHemlocksLie | yeah, I have the ext drivers, so that should work. Thanks, Jack and Azul | 21:07 |
| marcolovich | and who is also a SEXY BABE? | 21:07 |

| marcolovich | and wants to BUY ME A DRINK? | 21:08 |

| DasEi | antonehenry: you have no root ? | 21:12 |
| antonehenry | i'm not running linux on the fat partition. | 21:12 |
| Rencx | n8tuser: it will help you to see what i need to do? | 21:12 |
| BadElvis | hi! would it be possible to control ubuntus system master volume through the serial port with an external device? what would be the best approach for this? | 21:13 |

| FrozenFire[work] | Hello all. Does gnome include a utility to launch a dialogue in the GUI, from the command-line, to ask for input? I want to write a command that will ask for certain input such as a username, password, host, etc, using a dialogue. I want to do this from a bash function. | 21:13 |
| peri | MK!3:I have a X-fi | 21:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, What version of ubuntu and how was it installed? | 21:13 |
| CaptainMorgan | does anyone have amarok 2 installed on their 8.04 or 8.10 ? | 21:14 |
| CaptainMorgan | Gnome? | 21:14 |
| antonehenry | Jack_Sparrow: xubuntu, and i installed it by making the iso you get on the website | 21:14 |
| CaptainMorgan | it's not in the repos and I can't download it after activating every repo found | 21:14 |
| Trel | Damn, so close | 21:14 |
| Rencx | n8tuser: here it is :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/106649/ | 21:15 |
| peri | MK13: How do I discover my soundcard chipset??? | 21:15 |
| yimer | hey for some reason im not hearing any music coming out of my computer right now why? | 21:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erUSUL, Are you here? | 21:15 |
| yimer | its playing a song and everything | 21:15 |
| CaptainMorgan | yimer, well, that's a good question | 21:15 |
| tonsofpcs | how do i find out the ipp url of a printer that I am sharing with cups? | 21:15 |
| yimer | lol i know | 21:15 |
| erUSUL | Jack_Sparrow: yep | 21:15 |
| tonsofpcs | or uri as it were | 21:15 |
| yimer | its a great question | 21:16 |
| peri | MK!#:I have a Creative Soundblaster X-fi | 21:16 |
| Lokiase | n8tuser: and now | 21:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erUSUL, can you look at line 6 for me.. http://pastebin.com/m1f1ca038 | 21:16 |
| yimer | with hopefully a simple answer | 21:16 |
| Gobby | Does anyone have a ¨startup¨" bug | 21:16 |
| Gobby | i mean in photoshop cs2 | 21:16 |
| yimer | Music is playing but no sound | 21:16 |
| yimer | any ideas? | 21:16 |
| n8tuser | Rencx -> modify that file and remove the "quiet" on line 128 then reboot to see what is going on during boot | 21:16 |
| Wardje | CaptainMorgan: isnt amorak 2 only out for a few weeks? things dont get added to the repos quickly | 21:16 |
| antonehenry | Jack_Sparrow: thank you for all the effort, i appreciate it. | 21:17 |
| CaptainMorgan | November Wardje | 21:17 |
| stmartin | Could you possibly tell me what is /etc/network/interfaces for? | 21:17 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> well thats the only solution i can give you for now, until you have read the book | 21:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, I am a bit preoccupied, but that does not look right | 21:17 |
| CaptainMorgan | hmm... maybe not | 21:17 |
| erUSUL | Jack_Sparrow: looking... mount point / "check" file system type vfat "FAIL" 0.o!! | 21:17 |
| Wardje | big chance you might have to wait till 9.04 till it's added | 21:17 |
| Lokiase | n8tuser: book? | 21:17 |
| erUSUL | Jack_Sparrow: is that from a running system??? | 21:17 |
| Wardje | you can always get source and compile it yourself though | 21:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erUSUL, thanks, that is antonehenry 's fstab | 21:17 |
| Wardje | I assume :O | 21:17 |
| jonaskoelker | hi all. What does "RoQA" mean? [in the ctx of packaging and package lifecycles] | 21:17 |
| MK131 | peri: sorry I have HD Audio :(, doesnt give that wired glitch | 21:18 |
| MK131 | weird* | 21:18 |
| Tekumel | Request of Quality Assurance? Just a guess | 21:18 |
| JohnPhys | Is anyone having trouble with Hardy kernel 23 and connecting to WPA enterprise networks with intel wireless? | 21:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erUSUL, Just wnated to make sure I was not crazy | 21:18 |
| Trel | dammit, it's not working, anyone know what to set a key to to get Meta_Right | 21:18 |
| Trel | when I try Meta_Right, it sets it to nul | 21:18 |
| antonehenry | so that line seems wrong Jack_Sparrow and erUSUL ? | 21:18 |
| CaptainMorgan | Wardje, that's unacceptable - I'm using LTS | 21:18 |
| jonaskoelker | Trel: Meta_R ? | 21:18 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> never mind.. i gave you some hints on how to look for ideas to troubleshoot, now work on it | 21:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, Is this a running ubuntu installation? | 21:18 |
| jonaskoelker | Trel: that'd be my guess--shift and alt (IIRC) are _L and _R | 21:18 |
| n8tuser | jonaskoelker -> how that crosscable worked? | 21:19 |
| CaptainMorgan | Wardje, tried to compile from source.. it demanded kde packages which I can't find | 21:19 |
| CaptainMorgan | since I'm runnign Gnome :) | 21:19 |
| erUSUL | Jack_Sparrow: well that's what its there maybe he make a mistake while editing and only need to 's/vfat/ext3/' from a ivecd | 21:19 |
| peri | MK131: i c.....thanks! | 21:19 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: I found out the nic in one of my boxes was a bit loose. Poke it back and forth, everything worked fine | 21:19 |
| stmartin | c | 21:19 |
| Trel | jonaskoelker: it has keycode 106 = Right | 21:20 |
| n8tuser | jonaskoelker -> alright, i thought so, it was either the cable or loose connectivity...am glad you had it resolved | 21:20 |
| yimer | so no idea? | 21:20 |
| erUSUL | antonehenry: line 6 says that your root filesystem is vfat... it is wrong probably is ext3 | 21:20 |
| stmartin | Could you possibly tell me what is /etc/network/interfaces for? | 21:20 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: hey, you know what RoQA means? | 21:20 |
| Trel | does that make a difference | 21:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erUSUL, His question was unrelated to root | 21:20 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: [in the context of packaging] | 21:20 |
| yimer | anyone have any idea why no music is coming out of my speakers | 21:20 |
| CaptainMorgan | yimer, how about turning your volume up? | 21:20 |
| yimer | its up all the way | 21:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, sudo fdisk -l last letter is L | 21:20 |
| tonsofpcs | How do I access a shared printer with another system? [IPP not SMB] | 21:20 |
| CaptainMorgan | yimer, how about making the sure the power is on? | 21:20 |
| antonehenry | erUSUL: it is fat32 | 21:20 |
| jonaskoelker | Trel: huh? I don't understand. A keysym has a keycode? | 21:20 |
| DasEi | yimer:alsamixer installed ? | 21:20 |
| CaptainMorgan | yimer, you're gonna have to dig a little harder than that | 21:20 |
| yimer | lol its a laptop | 21:20 |
| carbon21 | Hey, does anyone know a channel that is about linux c++? | 21:21 |
| stmartin | I suddenly removed /etc/network/interfaces, how to recover it? | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | Jack_Sparrow: yep... maybe when adding lines 10/11 he changes line 6 by mistake | 21:21 |
| Trel | jonaskoelker hold on, lemme try what you said, if it doesn't work, I'll elaborate | 21:21 |
| CaptainMorgan | stmartin, why did you do that? | 21:21 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Hello all. Does gnome include a utility to launch a dialogue in the GUI, from the command-line, to ask for input? I want to write a command that will ask for certain input such as a username, password, host, etc, using a dialogue. I want to do this from a bash function. | 21:21 |
| antonehenry | erUSUL: and Jack_Sparrow: it is a fat32 partition. i need it to work with windows over my network | 21:21 |
| n8tuser | jonaskoelker -> i dont know about that one | 21:21 |
| AzulFin | I got tip to my battery charge estimation problem (to cleanup ~/.gnome2/gnome-power-manager/ ) .. seems to be effective | 21:21 |
| yimer | what is alexthingy? | 21:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erUSUL, thanks.. but see his response above | 21:21 |
| stmartin | CaptainMorgan, I did it because I need to recover Network Manager :D | 21:21 |
| stmartin | I was desperate :D | 21:21 |
| FrozenFire[work] | For instance, I want to be able to build a quick front-end for sshfs in bash, which will ask for the parameters in a GUI dialogue | 21:21 |
| stmartin | but obviously it wasn't the problem | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | antonehenry: which one is fat ? | 21:21 |
| yimer | alsamixer? | 21:22 |
| yimer | alsamixer? what is that? | 21:22 |
| DasEi | yimer: please return here | 21:22 |
| JohnPhys | stmartin: In the future, try just renaming the file. | 21:22 |
| yimer | alsamixer? what is that? | 21:22 |
| TimeLord_ | he guys i have an update problem with ubuntu 8.10, i run kernel 2.6.27-9 and it still says it wants to update to 2.6.27-7. ?wtf? | 21:22 |

| ubottu | yimer, please see my private message | 21:22 |
| cj | hey all | 21:22 |
| Trel | jonaskoelker: the lines now are | 21:22 |
| Trel | "keycode 106 = Right" | 21:22 |
| antonehenry | erUSUL: and Jack_Sparrow sda1 is a fat32 partition, and there is not a thing on it at all. it is a brand new hard drive. linux is run on scd0 | 21:22 |
| DasEi | yimer: sudo apt-get install alsamixer | 21:22 |
| stmartin | JohnPhys, I will learn it. Can interfaces somehow disturb something? | 21:22 |
| Trel | "alt keycode 106 = Meta_R" | 21:22 |
| CaptainMorgan | yimer, did you try it another player? like totem or ryhtmbox ? | 21:22 |
| yimer | i tried the other one that comes with ubuntu | 21:23 |
| erUSUL | antonehenry: maybe you are confusing it with /dev/sd*b*1 (b not a) | 21:23 |
| CaptainMorgan | yimer, here's a big question: do you receive any errors when attempting to play music? | 21:23 |
| yimer | rythm i tried | 21:23 |
| yimer | nope | 21:23 |
| yimer | no errors | 21:23 |
| cj | I'd like to debootstrap an edubuntu hardy onto my daughter's new eee. can someone give me some pointers? | 21:23 |
| JohnPhys | stmartin: If it's not set up correctly, yes. Though I think with network manager the only stuff in there should be the loopback | 21:23 |
| CaptainMorgan | all this information would've been helpful at the get-go | 21:23 |
| jonaskoelker | Trel: "alt keycode ..." <--- the "alt" part looks suspicious to me; that's not xmodmap syntax I'm familiar with | 21:23 |
| CaptainMorgan | and as a result, I'm tired | 21:23 |
| erUSUL | antonehenry: but anyway can you post the output of "sudo fdisk -l" in a pastebin ?? | 21:23 |
| antonehenry | erUSUL: and Jack_Sparrow : i'm sorry sda1 is the fat32 drive. i run linux on sdb. | 21:24 |
| stmartin | JohnPhys, but now it is deleted. Is there any way to recover it ? :) | 21:24 |
| antonehenry | erUSUL: yes | 21:24 |
| yimer | what will this alsa thing do for me? | 21:24 |
| ortsvorsteher | !alsa | 21:24 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 21:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, your fstab is showing / which is root and cannot be on a fat 32 so line 6 needs to be changed to sdb | 21:24 |
| yimer | dasei it couldnt find that pacage | 21:24 |
| DasEi | yimer: sudo apt-get install alsamixergui ,sorry | 21:25 |

| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, http://pastebin.com/m603d7fab | 21:26 |
| erUSUL | antonehenry: well as Jack_Sparrow said you have to change line 6 to say ext3 instead of vfat | 21:26 |
| Rencx | n8tuser because before it says Mounting local filesystems [OK] | 21:26 |

| ubottu | Rencx: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 21:28 |
| antonehenry | erUSUL: but it is not ext3. | 21:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, the next issue is that you say sdb1 is your linux install and you have /dev/sdb1 /media/WD250 ext3 defaults 0 2 | 21:28 |
| yimer | dasei: just finished downloading now what? | 21:28 |

| CaptainMorgan | Rencx, off the top of my head, maybe you need a faster hdd; maybe you have too many services running at startup; maybe you have one service that is supposed to be running but isn't... | 21:31 |
| CaptainMorgan | etc | 21:31 |
| Rencx | and who have about 30minutes for my questions because ia have more | 21:31 |

| slasher | http://sg10scanner.com/sg1/1/10187 | 21:31 |
| erUSUL | antonehenry: it is... do not let the line 5 fool you when you plugged the new disk the new disk got the /dev/sda name and the old one got renamed to /dev/sdb so line 6 is referring to /dev/sdb not /dev/sda... | 21:31 |
| yimer | dasei: what do u mean multimedia > alsamixer? | 21:32 |

| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, OK, things like that are helpful to know up front | 21:32 |
| tonsofpcs | how do I connect to a printer shared on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex via IPP? I cannot seem to find the URI. | 21:32 |
| n8tuser | Rencx -> what i suggested is only to show you what is transpiring during boot, did you see where it spends lots of time druing boot? | 21:32 |
| yimer | dasei: what? | 21:32 |
| yimer | dasei: what? | 21:32 |
| antonehenry | Jack_Sparrow: i'm sorry | 21:32 |
| JohnPhys | myk_robinson: Are you using hardy or intrepid? | 21:32 |
| dayo_ | myk_roninson: in /etc/networking/interfaces | 21:32 |
| erUSUL | antonehenry: you understand now ? precisaly becouse disks can be renamed like that we use UUIDs instead of using /dev/sdxx names | 21:32 |

| yimer | dasei: what? are u talking about im confused this is my like second day with linux ever | 21:33 |
| Rencx | n8tuser services loads fast it freezes at swapfile | 21:33 |
| JohnPhys | myk_robinson: In order to get it to stick (for a static wired connection), I couldn't just edit the profile through NetworkManager, I had to delete it and create a new one. | 21:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I need to set your root and swap and ignore the other parts until we get you to boot up. there can be lots of other issues to untangle kowing you added that drive | 21:33 |
| dean | yimer: what are you trying to do | 21:33 |
| yimer | get the music to come out of my speakers | 21:34 |

| n8tuser | Rencx -> can you paste your /etc/fstab to see if there may be a clue? | 21:34 |
| yimer | like on turn on it makes itts noise and on youtube it makes noise | 21:34 |
| dean | try alsamixer -c 0 | 21:34 |
| JohnPhys | myk_robinson: What have you tried in order to get a static IP address? | 21:34 |

| matteo_ | hi all!!! I am connecting my 37inch tv with RGB (VGA) at my laptop, the screen manager detect the displays and if i check "mirror screen" something seems to change but no signal on my tv :S ANy tips? (with windows all worked fine just with fn+f4 :S) | 21:35 |
| myk_robinson | JohnPhys: installation is just two days old. I have edited the one that says Auto Eth0 and renamed it. i ma creating a fresh one now | 21:35 |
| CaptainMorgan | yimer, that last bit of information you provided was very crucial | 21:35 |
| yimer | kk lol sry | 21:35 |
| wyoung | matteo_: NVIDIA? ATI? | 21:35 |
| CaptainMorgan | yimer, next time you have a problem, be as detailed as possible | 21:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, http://pastebin.com/d6bd035b0 | 21:35 |
| Rencx | n8tuser here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/106659/ | 21:36 |
| n8tuser | myk_robinson -> did you man interfaces i believe the man page as a sample how to setup static ip | 21:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, hold.. wrong swap | 21:36 |
| wyoung | matteo_: it is probably a resolution issue, you are setting the TV to a res it doesn't support | 21:36 |
| antonehenry | Jack_Sparrow: thank you | 21:36 |
| Dreamglider | when i enable the Desktop cube in Compiz, the screensaver and all movies i watch flicker like crazy. i have ubuntu 8.10, does anyone know a solution ? | 21:36 |
| antonehenry | Jack_Sparrow: oh, okay | 21:36 |
| JohnPhys | myk_robinson: I think I had to uncheck the "system setting" or something like that for the one it was using previously. I'm not in my ibex install right now so I can't be more specific | 21:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, http://pastebin.com/d4af08267 | 21:36 |
| JohnPhys | Dreamglider: What video card do you have? | 21:36 |
| myk_robinson | okay, i will uncheck that and reboot. Thanks | 21:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | assuming your a drive moved to b | 21:36 |
| yimer | well i still have the problem and dasei quit talking to me | 21:36 |
| Rencx | Does anyone can explain how Ubuntu can run 2 partition automaticly? | 21:36 |
| tonsofpcs | n8tuser: there's a resource after that apparently... I found a way to pull it, apparently it is ipp://ip/printer/PrinterNameThatYouNeverSeeEvenInTheConfigPageHere , but that doesn't explain how to find it through proper means | 21:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | now you will need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 21:37 |
| Dreamglider | JohnPhys: it's an ati card | 21:37 |
| DasEi | yimer :found alsamixer ? | 21:37 |
| yimer | yah i think so | 21:37 |
| n8tuser | Rencx -> where did you get that kind of fstab? why the /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ? where did you get the idea to do it this way? | 21:37 |

| gamewolf | Hey, I am fairly new to linux in general. I know the basics, but nothing too in-depth. I have some experience setting up server (such as with apache) and I am wanting to use the Ubuntu Server Edition. When I put in the server cd, there are corrupted files and the install fails. But I put the same cd in another computer and it worked just fine. There is a certain computer I want to use because it is not a power hog. Could anyone hel | 21:37 |
| dean | JPSman: that adds it to the repositories. | 21:38 |

| yimer | nvm the speakers arnet working on youtube | 21:38 |
| antonehenry | Jack_Sparrow: thank you, then i need to unmount and remount to test it, correct? | 21:38 |
| JohnPhys | Dreamglider: I don't have any experience with ATI cards, but if by "flicker" you mean that there's tearing, you might want to install compizconfig-settings-manager and make sure the refresh rate compiz is trying to use is correct. | 21:38 |
| DasEi | gamewolf: bad drive ? | 21:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gamewolf, Is the computer you want to use an hp or dell | 21:38 |
| dean | JPSman: add the deb command to your /etc/apt/sources.lst | 21:38 |
| n8tuser | tonsofpcs -> i dont know if anyone can easily find it lest the adminstrator of that shared printer tells you, its not like broadcasted to everyone so they cna use it | 21:38 |
| yimer | above sliderrs? | 21:38 |
| gamewolf | its a dell. | 21:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | antonehenry, now you will need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 21:38 |
| gamewolf | Dimension 2400 | 21:38 |
| tonsofpcs | n8tuser: i am the administrator of it. | 21:38 |

| dean | JPSman: sudo apt-get update | 21:39 |
| n8tuser | Rencx -> this is wubi? man you just have to be patient then, you not giving out full info, we are givng you bad info...so next time give a complete picture of what you got | 21:39 |

| quaal | dean, that works for files | 21:42 |
| oipat | fire | 21:42 |
| n8tuser | Rencx -> yes its because of windows, ask them how they get their os to boot up any faster | 21:42 |

| Cayal | I am having a serious problem at the moment- well, moderately serious. I installed the GNOME globalmenu applet and switched it off while working on an inkscape project, the window went unresponsive and graphically glitched, I have lost my window decorations, and need to save my work.

| antonehenry | Jack_Sparrow: sorry again, very new to this. | 21:42 |
| JohnPhys | Dreamglider: In the CCSM, click "General", and it's under the "Display Settings" tab | 21:42 |

| remco_ | Tried another sources.list file, but whatever I do update, upgrade, install -f etc.. it stops at that error .. | 21:52 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> i would not worry about it, just press the on/off button for 10 secs if you want to shutdown | 21:52 |
| dean | quaal: it seems to ignore suid, sgid and sticky | 21:52 |
| bamboo | i followed those steps and install ubuntu, it's just the wireless doesnt work well on my PC once i wake it up from "sleep mode" | 21:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !releases | 21:52 |
| Rencx | good atitude from your side also you now answers but you dont even want help | 21:52 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 21:52 |
| Rencx | ok done. | 21:52 |
| quaal | dean, yes it works locally fine but when i make a directory on the server from the samba client, it has a lock on the folder | 21:52 |
| Lokiase | n8tuser: I don't want to do it, I want ubuntu to do it for me, that the whole problem | 21:52 |
| quaal | dean, i'll show you what i mean in terminal. one moment | 21:53 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> well try to use 8.04 instead -- more stable | 21:53 |
| ScottG | n8tuser: since when did I say paint? I didnt. want to help answer my question? Im not sure where its config file is and i looked in preferences and I cant find an option to do that. | 21:53 |
| quaal | dean, dongery@x61:/media/raid$ cd ihateyoulinux/ | 21:53 |
| quaal | dongery@x61:/media/raid/ihateyoulinux$ touch dielinux | 21:53 |
| quaal | touch: cannot touch `dielinux': Permission denied | 21:53 |
| Lokiase | n8tuser: no option, was not stable here | 21:53 |
| quaal | dean, ah, crap. i left out the 'mkdir ihateyoulinux' | 21:54 |
| dean | quaal; try editing smb.conf | 21:54 |
| n8tuser | ScottG -> can you repaste your question? it went flying by, and i have a small buffer.. | 21:54 |
| quaal | dean, i'm doing this from the samba client on the samba mount | 21:54 |
| quaal | ok | 21:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I muted your account until you msg me back | 21:54 |

| mib_hjko50 | Hi all, is there a problem using webcams with Ubuntu 8.10 desktop? | 21:55 |
| mib_hjko50 | Apologies if the question has been asked before. | 21:55 |
| n8tuser | ScottG -> am not sure its nautilus doing the drawing of the background, | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_hjko50: they can be troublesome | 21:55 |
| mib_hjko50 | And if somebody could kindly point me to a resolution... Thnaks. | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !webcam | mib_hjko50 | 21:55 |

| mib_hjko50 | Thanks a lot. Appreciate the help! | 21:55 |
| Pierre_N | The new ubuntu is giving me the shits. | 21:56 |
| n8tuser | ScottG -> its usually your metacity or gnome | 21:56 |
| Lokiase | n8tuser: any suggestion please, really want to solve it | 21:56 |
| redvamp128 | When I ran 8.10 only one program could see my camera- Cheese... everthing else it seemed to want to go to some other channel-- so I went back down to 8.04 and noweverthing else works | 21:56 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> well you can enable more kernel logging, look into syslog-ng configs of your system | 21:56 |
| ScottG | n8tuser: yea it could be gnome. Where in general do i find config files anyways? | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | hey guys, If I connect my Nvidia gfx card in my intrepid system via svideo to scart cable will the tv be detected or is their some additional config I need?? | 21:56 |
| Lokiase | n8tuser: but isnt their a standard solution? | 21:57 |
| Pierre_N | nm-applet can't see my wireless AP, but my gf's mac can, and so can my iphone. | 21:57 |

| powtrix | what's a good tool to configure a cyber cafe user profile? | 21:57 |
| dserodio | I think my samba installation is broken | 21:57 |
| etech | are there debs for the kernel 2.8.28? | 21:57 |
| n8tuser | ScottG -> actually that is still a mystery to me, look in your ~/.gconf | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | etech: i believe thats jaunty | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !jaunty | etech | 21:57 |
| ubottu | etech: 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. | 21:57 |
| dserodio | I want to upgrade samba but it depends on a unavailable version of samba-common | 21:57 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> no such thing if the hardware is not cooperating and the drivers for the devices are not cooperating | 21:57 |
| jally | hello | 21:58 |
| remco_ | I guess no one cares...a bit frustrated as usual with this place... been using ubuntu for the past 5 years and came here once in a while for help, but not once did anyone help..... I guess it'll be the usual figure it yourself solution .. this irc channel is a nice idea, but rarely useful .. :( | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | dserodio: then find a repo with it in on, or manually install the deb yourself | 21:58 |
| jally | hello | 21:58 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> i have one more, but it is drastic | 21:58 |
| Pierre_N | remco_, I agree :( | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | remco_: wassup? | 21:58 |
| ScottG | n8tuser: lol yea thats the problem, what is ~? | 21:58 |
| jally | what are u talking about | 21:58 |
| CyberGabber | Pierre_N: Did you right-click on nm-aplet, and mark 'enable wireless' ? | 21:58 |
| Lokiase | n8tuser: but in windows2K he did everyting ok... cant imagine ubuntu cannot do it? | 21:58 |
| JohnPhys | mib_hjko50: with some cams/programs, there are issues (skype particularly ) Here's the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=966436 | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: its a different OS so no its not automatically able to do it | 21:58 |
| n8tuser | ScottG -> ~ == /home/ofyouruser | 21:58 |
| remco_ | wow first answer ever ... lol stuck with an upgrade dfrom 6.06 to 8.04: http://paste.ubuntu.com/106663/ | 21:59 |
| ScottG | n8tuser: actually i think i found it | 21:59 |
| Pierre_N | CyberGabber, yep, I can see a zillion access points, just not my own for some reason. Trying to connect to it via Connect to Hidden Network isn't working either | 21:59 |
| Pierre_N | it's weird that it's just not showing up on the list | 21:59 |
| ScottG | n8tuser: yea thanks :) | 21:59 |
| simplexio | remco_: easiest way to fix is reinstall if you have you home in own partition | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | remco_: sudo apt-get -f install | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !fixapt | remco_ | 21:59 |
| ubottu | remco_: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 21:59 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> only if these device vendors allows access to their drivers, lots of issues can be resolved, but they are keeping it close to their chest | 21:59 |
| quaal | dean, i just added create mask and directory mask = 775 to my smb.conf, restarted samba, same problem. | 21:59 |

| Lokiase | n8tuser: please guide me :) | 22:00 |
| AzulFin | remco_: backup + reinstall :) | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | quaal: can you give us the output of ls -al /etc/smb/samba.conf | 22:00 |
| n8tuser | Lokiase -> i already give you an advise of using on/off button, as you learn along you may find out the solution, google is your friend | 22:00 |
| Lokiase | n8tuser: google is the problem :) don't help me :( | 22:01 |

| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: try a different search engine | 22:01 |
| JohnPhys | Lokiase: what is your issue again? | 22:01 |
| gamewolf | !install | 22:01 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate | 22:01 |
| Lokiase | JohnPhys: I want ubuntu to shut down, not to freeze on the splash | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | matteo_: have you installed video drivers? | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: does: sudo shutdown -h now work? | 22:02 |
| JohnPhys | Lokiase: Does it freeze when shutting down, or just when trying standby or hibernate? | 22:03 |
| remco_ | Thanks Azul and simplex...but if I could avoid reinstalling it would be nice... | 22:03 |
| Lokiase | ActionParsnip: it gives: time expected | 22:03 |
| matteo_ | ActionParsnip: dunno really, when i installed ubuntu all worked fine automatically so i didn't install anithing... SHould i? I ave an amilo with centriono duo set | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: the command needs the word 'now' on the end | 22:03 |
| Lokiase | JohnPhys: only when shutting down, restart goes fine, but shutting down the splash stays | 22:03 |
| JohnPhys | Lokiase: "now" was part of the command ActionParsnip sent you, "sudo shutdown -h now" | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: sudo shutdown -h now | 22:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ActionParsnip, Please help him try these three options all at the same time.. noapic acpi=off apm=off | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | matteo_: well yes, or the card isnt being used properly so you will not get the extra output | 22:04 |
| pilaseka | hi every1 | 22:05 |
| Lokiase | ActionParsnip: that command does exactly the same as the normal shut down :) | 22:05 |
| pilaseka | how do i ran an application on d terminal ? | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Jack_Sparrow: just wanna know if the command line works nice | 22:05 |
| redvamp128 | remco_: I came in on the last part-- what issue are you having? | 22:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: ok, its just a lil test | 22:05 |

| jtier | hey guys, I have a ubuntu machine , i don't want it to boot into gnome, I just want basic shell, gnome is adding more load on the machine, what do i need to do ? | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | matteo_: run: lspci | grep -i vga | 22:05 |
| pilaseka | jtier: go to ur normal Ubuntu, then to your bin, Grub, den there should be like options | 22:06 |
| dayo_ | pilaseka: which application? | 22:06 |
| redvamp128 | jtier: should be able to on the login screen - options -- then select window manager shell | 22:06 |
| remco_ | prob dist-upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04:http://paste.ubuntu.com/106663/ this unlocked it, but have another problem now sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a | 22:06 |
| theczar | hey i'm having some trouble with my sound on ubuntu | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: ok then you may have to add some options to your kernel so that some of the power management can be disabled so the shutdown is successful | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | Lokiase | 22:07 |
| ubottu | Lokiase: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 22:07 |
| pilaseka | dayo_: education_mathematics | 22:07 |
| remco_ | trying a "upgrade -f" now .. | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | theczar | 22:07 |
| redvamp128 | what about using -- LXDE for the window manager? | 22:07 |
| ubottu | theczar: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 22:07 |
| matteo_ | ActionParsnip: here is the output 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 22:07 |
| dayo_ | pilaseka: is that the name of the app | 22:07 |
| dayo_ | ? | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | matteo_: ok, now you have a starting block to websearch with | 22:07 |
| pilaseka | dayo_: yes, i have just installed with apt-get install | 22:07 |
| burkmat0 | I appear to be unable to use the GUI to reconfigure my network interfaces as the "Unlock" button is, ironically enough, locked. -_-" | 22:07 |
| redvamp128 | jtier: what about installing -- LXDE from apt-- it is a lightwieght window manager | 22:08 |
| {g} | Hey People! Say you have a file "longandcomplicatedfilename" in the current directory and want to rename it to "000_longandcomplicatedfilename" without typing the name. Whats a nice way to do that? | 22:08 |
| dayo_ | pilaseka: well try typing that name into your terminal | 22:08 |
| jtier | redvamp128: thanks | 22:08 |
| Lokiase | ActionParsnip: a lott of info on that site, where do I have to find? | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Jack_Sparrow: do you know if I have to do any extra config to attatch my nvidia kubuntu box via svideo to scart to my tv? | 22:08 |
| dayo_ | burkmat0: maybe your user is not in the sudo group | 22:08 |
| pilaseka | dayo_ i did and nothing | 22:08 |
| redvamp128 | jtier: it even takes up less resources than Xubuntu | 22:08 |
| burkmat0 | dayo_, I definitely am. | 22:08 |
| dayo_ | pilaseka: then it's probably a different name. is there anyway for u to start it via the menu toolbar? | 22:09 |
| jtier | so apt-get install lxde ? | 22:09 |
| retour | Claws Mail ALWAYS starts in OFF-LINE mode!? Why and how to change it to be ONLINE by default? | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to add the options, you may have to use acpi=off to kill off acpi which could make your shutdown succeed | 22:09 |
| techsupport | vf | 22:09 |

| burkmat0 | dayo_, Did that as well, but it just won't work... Using the exact path specified in System -> Admin... It's strange. | 22:11 |
| MindVirus | Oh, right. | 22:11 |
| JohnPhys | MindVirus: AWN = avant-window-manager, which you've apparently already tried:) | 22:11 |

| tamale | Hi everyone! Where's the 'shared folders' menu item in 8.10 ? | 22:16 |
| tamale | I can't find it anywhere | 22:16 |
| oliviagj | how can i make my dvd player work? i'm not sure what is wrong | 22:16 |
| dayo_ | Facebook2: the second line of the output is what u need to check, where it says 'State' | 22:16 |
| disappearedng | ActionParsnip It's not what I am looking for thx anywa | 22:16 |
| yimer | hey i was just getting help from someone in herer but on a different channel are u in here? | 22:16 |
| shadow98 | hey guys i plugged in my usb drive and now i can't access it I can see it listed in places...i tried mount /dev/sdc and didnt work...before i disconnected it last time i right clicked and did an umount... | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | shadow98: you cant mount /dev/sdc thats a drive, you mount partitions which would be named /dev/sdc1 | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | shadow98: and the like | 22:17 |
| shadow98 | ActionParsnip, i tried that also | 22:17 |
| Facebook2 | dayo_: I have it installed - "checking whether build environment is sane... yes" | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | shadow98: does it show up in: sudo fdisk -l | 22:17 |
| joaospinto | hello. i cant install miro, when i open it in the command line there are many errors in some lines in python-related files and googling didnt help | 22:17 |
| Rencx | I wold like to know how i can set my 2. Partition to mount automatic.? | 22:17 |
| Facebook2 | What else could it be? | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Rencx: you'll need to add entries to fstab | 22:18 |
| dayo_ | Facebook2: what was the exact error? | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | Rencx | 22:18 |
| ubottu | Rencx: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 22:18 |

| BTAKasper | I got a question maybe someone can help me with, im attempting to run the ubuntu live cd downloaded from the site but when it loads up asks for username and password | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | disappearedng: mount | 22:18 |
| yimer | anyway i got it all fixed its just iffy i think | 22:18 |
| JohnPhys | disappearedng: "mount" | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | BTAKasper: try ubuntu for both username andpassword | 22:18 |
| BTAKasper | i did | 22:18 |
| shadow98 | ActionParsnip, says it doesn't containt a valid partition table... | 22:18 |
| BTAKasper | didnt work | 22:18 |

| disappearedng | I want to show all the harddisk drives mounted | 22:19 |
| shadow98 | ActionParsnip, do you think umounting the drive could have caused the problem.. | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | disappearedng: if you run the command mount on its own, it will show you what is mounted, where as well as its mount options | 22:19 |
| JohnPhys | disappearedng: all of the /dev/whatevers should be listed with the "mount" command | 22:19 |
| Facebook2 | dayo_: checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | shadow98: should be the best thing you could have done | 22:19 |

| Fractured | hey guys... how would i get a perl script to run at startup? ive tried playing with sessions with no luck =/ | 22:21 |
| tamale | Hi everyone! Where's the 'shared folders' menu item in 8.10 ? I can't find it anywhere | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !startup | Fractured | 22:21 |
| ubottu | Fractured: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 22:21 |

| redvamp128 | yospirito: try this http://forlong.blogage.de/en/entries/2008/4/26/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion-074 (check out the compiz config settings manager part) | 22:22 |
| JohnPhys | cilkay: while the fstab will use the UUID's, the "mount" command lists them by device name | 22:22 |
| cilkay | right | 22:22 |
| cilkay | I was referring to /etc/fstab | 22:22 |
| BTAKasper | ActionParsnip: Any ideas other than ubuntu for u/n and p/w, cause that didnt work | 22:22 |
| methadone | Anyone using nuoveXT.2.2 iconset and knows what file is incharge of the ubuntu icon next at the top gnome panel (left of 'Applications') | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | tamale: ive always editted /etc/samba/smb.conf personally so I can't help any further, maybe someone else can help. If no one helps I can give you my smb.conf for you to study, its not a had file to edit | 22:23 |
| JohnPhys | BTAKasper: for what setup? LiveCD? | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | BTAKasper: try ubuntu with no password | 22:23 |
| BTAKasper | live cd | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | BTAKasper: I know the username is ubuntu | 22:23 |
| JohnPhys | BTAKasper: username should be ubuntu, don't think there is a password | 22:23 |
| razaccour | where can i get yahoo messenger for Ubuntu? | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | BTAKasper: remember its all case sensitive so dont bother the shift key none | 22:23 |
| BTAKasper | oh ok so just skip the pass then | 22:23 |
| BTAKasper | thanks | 22:23 |
| dayo_ | Facebook2: what are u trying to compile? | 22:24 |
| portz | razaccour: Either use wine to emulate, or use the default Pidgin. | 22:24 |
| cilkay | tamale: SWAT (Samba Web Administration Toolkit) is quite useful. | 22:24 |
| redvamp128 | razaccour: from what I understand-- the yahoo messenger is rudimentary and is very limited-- use things like pidgin | 22:24 |
| JohnPhys | razaccour: I don't think yahoo makes a messenger client for linux, but you can use pidgin or kopete (among others) to log on to the yahoo network. | 22:24 |
| tamale | cilkay: Thanks, but did they really get rid of "shared folders" in 8.10 ?! I find this very hard to believe | 22:24 |
| tamale | surely it's somewhere | 22:24 |
| cilkay | No idea. I don't use 8.10 | 22:24 |
| yospirito | redvamp128 the system administrator uninstalled the ccsm program | 22:25 |
| tamale | lol | 22:25 |
| cilkay | ... and not likely to ever use it. | 22:25 |
| Rencx | ActionParsnip there is no example for Wubi install | 22:25 |
| razaccour | wine doesn't work because it requires direct x. i have pidgin, but i want both anyway | 22:25 |
| jonaskoelker | hello all. Question -- my compose key sequences in ~/.XCompose don't work. Why not? | 22:25 |
| JohnPhys | tamale: They might have, gnome had a lot of changes to the "file system" it uses for that sort of stuff, so it might be an issue with gnome rather than ubuntu | 22:25 |
| disappearedng | how many partition does Ubuntu generally have ? | 22:25 |
| redvamp128 | yospirito: then there is nothing much you can do except configure it manually-- it is the tool I use to configure my compiz | 22:26 |
| JohnPhys | razaccour: what requires directx? | 22:26 |
| razaccour | yahoo messenger does | 22:26 |
| kameron | source-o-matic is down. can anyone from canada offer me a decent sources.list file? don't feel like tracking down mirrors to write my own.. | 22:26 |
| tamale | JohnPhys: Maybe you can help with my main question - how do I edit my main shared directory so it has write access over samba? I can't find it anywhere in smb.conf, so it must be somewhere else | 22:26 |
| redvamp128 | razaccour: there is a version but it is quite a few years old | 22:26 |
| yospirito | thank redvamp128 | 22:26 |

| redvamp128 | razaccour: are you sure you want it-- like I said it is about 4 years old | 22:27 |

| yospirito | redvamp128: does that require admin the password | 22:27 |

| Tekumel | I'm a complete noob to Ubuntu (and Linux as a whole), and trying to install 8.10 on a spare computer I have. The Live CD boots fine, but doesn't recognize the sole SATA hard drive I have in the machine. I've tried pci=nomsi and all_generic_ide boot options, and still nothing. Can somebody give me a hand troubleshooting this? | 22:34 |
| redvamp128 | razaccour: look at the 2.1 section | 22:34 |
| tamale | JohnPhys: I added it by right-clicking on the folder and going to 'sharing' | 22:34 |
| cilkay | tamale: You should also know that POSIX users != SMB users. | 22:34 |
| CyberGabber | Kemal: check server irc.freenode.net , channel #nx | 22:34 |
| fishtron | Relam: choose the main server | 22:34 |
| tamale | cilkay: I know, but I added the samba user | 22:34 |
| nicotognetti | doug: "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding". it's trying UTF-8 (which imho should be the one correct...) | 22:34 |

| doug___ | weird | 22:35 |
| fishtron | Relam: that's for setting up your connection to the repositories for later on | 22:35 |
| doug___ | have you tried opeing in vim or vi | 22:35 |
| tamale | JohnPhys: I would think since it's already working (with read only access) shouldn't have to do that | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | tamale: have you run: sudo smbpasswd <your username> and typed your password 3 times? | 22:35 |

| tamale | ActionParsnip: Yup | 22:35 |
| cilkay | tamale: Just to be sure we're talking about the same thing, if you have a linux account "tamale", that doesn't mean that you can login from Windows via SMB as "tamale". You have to "smbadduser tamale" and "smbpasswd tamala" first. | 22:36 |
| redvamp128 | razaccour: from reading it supports skype | 22:36 |

| nicotognetti | doug: open office word processor opens it correctly, so I saw it's really a text file... | 22:36 |
| tamale | cilkay: Correct, and I have both users added | 22:36 |
| tamale | cilkay: Posix and windows | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | !usb | throwt | 22:36 |
| ubottu | throwt: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 22:36 |

| doug___ | you mena openoffice right | 22:36 |
| razaccour | i know, but i use the official skype for ubuntu for the voice and cam | 22:36 |
| cdenny | i am going to switch to ubuntu soon, but am worried about my media. When I load ubuntu I need to get all the songs off my ipod and several cds all organized and stuff, like in one area. What apps can do this? Also, would I lose album art? | 22:36 |
| kinection | how do i change what player is opened by default when i click on an mp3 file? | 22:36 |
| shadow98 | ActionParsnip, good thing is it was just a copy of my mp3's....i was using it to play them in my car.. | 22:36 |
| cilkay | tamale: good. A way around this is to use LDAP, btw. Bit of work to set up but it works great. | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | shadow98: even easier ;) | 22:37 |
| nicotognetti | doug: yes, open office is ok... | 22:37 |
| JohnPhys | tamale: I'm afraid I don't know why the shared linux dir isn't showing up in smb.conf, so I'm fresh out of ideas. | 22:37 |
| tamale | cilkay: Heh, true.. honestly that 'shared folders' utility was perfect.. and tiny. I just don't understand why it's missing. I see it when I go to 'edit menus' even, but it's not in the menus | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | tamale: did you run the command i said? | 22:37 |
| tamale | ActionParsnip: I already have, yes | 22:37 |
| doug___ | justmakig sure you wneret running ms offic i was going to kjumb out the window | 22:37 |
| Lokiase | ActionParsnip: I looked up the boot options, and at startup I noticed a message of "old cpu" "acpi" "blahblahblah", can you help me? | 22:37 |
| throwt | ActionParsnip: im not installing from usb. i want to know if i can make an install from a live system - ie already installed | 22:37 |
| shadow98 | ActionParsnip, mount /dev/sdc1 | 22:37 |
| shadow98 | mount: can't find /dev/sdc1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 22:37 |
| throwt | what's the ubuntu installer called anyway? | 22:37 |
| jpds | throwt: ubiquity. | 22:38 |
| grkblood13 | cdenny, do u have lxdream> | 22:38 |
| nicotognetti | doug: it's a .sh file... | 22:38 |
| cilkay | tamale: I don't know what you're talking about since I don't have a "shared folders" utility in Kubuntu. | 22:38 |
| doug___ | im really not sure...not quite a linux expert,,,but i was also under the assumption that gedit woudl take anything | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | throwt: im not sure, i looked into it a while back but didnt get anywhere | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | throwt: like make a live cd of your current system | 22:38 |
| joshua24 | Hey, gotta q for ya. I installed Intrepid Ibex to my 160GB drive and I used my 40 as /home. Now I wanna install Winblows 7 beta to the 40. can I change the 40 from /home to blank without losing data? | 22:38 |
| shadow98 | ActionParsnip, i had to pull it out and put it back in...doesn't sound good...hehehe | 22:38 |
| tamale | cilkay: It's been in every version of Ubuntu I've used since 5.10 but nowhere to be found in 8.10 | 22:38 |
| doug___ | so if office opens it ...why do you need gedit | 22:38 |
| fishtron | nicotognetti: drag and drop doesn't work? | 22:38 |
| cdenny | grkblood13 no | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | shadow98: as there is no partition you will need to run gparted to recreate it and format it | 22:39 |
| pyrophelia | who can recommend a a stable, low overhead mutli-threaded (tranfer not cpu) sftp client? Filezila uses way to much cpu per transfer | 22:39 |

| JimmyDee | hilo boys and girls, anyone here know asterisk? as they arent willing to even say NO I DONT KNOW HOW or anything in their rooms? | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | JimmyDee: he's a french dude who hangs with obelix | 22:39 |
| nicotognetti | doug: I wish to learn to use Ubuntu comfortably. A simple and short text file should be opened by the default editor... | 22:40 |
| joshua24 | I installed Intrepid Ibex to my 160GB drive and I used my 40 as /home. Now I wanna install Winblows 7 beta to the 40. can I change the 40 from /home to blank without losing data? | 22:40 |
| joshua24 | plz? | 22:40 |

| slew | hello. i'm trying to use gftp but when i try to connect to an ftp site it adds .bexmta.net:21 to the end of any ftp address i try to connect. is there a way to turn this off? | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | JimmyDee: actually, its the char generated by shift + 8 | 22:40 |
| JimmyDee | sorry ActionParsnip I am NOT in a good mood | 22:40 |

| Lokiase | ActionParsnip: I looked up the boot options, and at startup I noticed a message of "old cpu" "acpi" "blahblahblah", can you help me? | 22:40 |
| cilkay | tamale: Oh, you're talking about that "Sharing" think in "Network & Connectivity" in the System Settings. Never used it. I just don' | 22:40 |
| elpolilla | is python 2.6 on the stable repos? | 22:40 |

| Lokiase | JimmyDee: will that solve the shutdown prob also? | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.list and add the extra boot options you require | 22:41 |
| tamale | cilkay: I don't even see "network and connectivity" in gnome. I don't see any sharing options in "Network tools" or "Network Configuration" | 22:41 |
| shadow98 | ActionParsnip, thanks for all your help...im now off to test it in the car.. | 22:41 |
| JimmyDee | yes ASTERISK the friggin PBX software in the UBUNTU REPOS the #asterisk people wont answer, not even try | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | cdenny: i like amarok, mainly due to its xul web interface | 22:41 |

| cdenny | ActionParsnip is it ipod compatible? | 22:42 |
| nicotognetti | Help needed: I'm trying to install a software which needs a java virtual machine installed... | 22:42 |
| rww | slashzul: you could do it using the alternate CD, but considering that the upgrade path is 7.04 > 7.10 > 8.04 > 8.10, I'd probably just back up and reinstall if I were you. | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | cdenny: no idea, i dont use any of apples garbage | 22:42 |
| elpolilla | where's python2.6 in ubuntu? | 22:42 |
| pyrophelia | Cdenny, which ipod? | 22:42 |
| Tekumel | I'm a complete noob to Ubuntu (and Linux as a whole), and trying to install 8.10 on a spare computer I have. The Live CD boots fine, but doesn't recognize the sole SATA hard drive I have in the machine. I've tried pci=nomsi and all_generic_ide boot options, and still nothing. Can somebody give me a hand troubleshooting this? | 22:42 |
| Frantic225 | elpolilla: no py2.6 by default but u can apt-get it | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | elpolilla: apt-cache search python | 22:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | slashzul: you can go 7.04-7.10-8.04.. might be better to just clean install 8.10 though | 22:42 |

| elpolilla | Frantic225, how? | 22:43 |
| joshua24 | [p]Zombie: which IDE is most popular for c coders within linux? .......... IDK but would NetBeans work? | 22:43 |
| throwt | ActionParsnip: i have ubuntu/windows/* installed on my laptop right now. my ricoh mmc reader is only supported via modules and considering how scary building my own kernel package is, i was going to install to the mmc, and configure my normal installation's initrd to include the module and use the hd to bootstrap to the mmc | 22:43 |
| pyrophelia | pyrophelia does not like pyroraptor. | 22:43 |
| slashzul | so now just want to bring it back up | 22:43 |
| __mikem | cdenny, since when do they make an ipod nano 3g | 22:43 |
| elpolilla | JimmyDee, can't see it there, only python2.5 | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | JimmyDee: both commands are acceptible | 22:43 |
| Frantic225 | elpolilla: I don't remember exactly which, but try apt-cache search python2.6 | 22:43 |
| pyrophelia | __mikem, he means thrid generation | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | elpolilla: then you need a 3rd party repo with 2.6 on | 22:43 |
| __mikem | pyrophelia, oh | 22:43 |
| pyrophelia | cdenny, and yes it works fine in amarak | 22:43 |
| slashzul | dont want 8.10 , isnt the 8.04 LTS stable for 3 years? | 22:43 |
| cdenny | http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/ipod-nano-3g-first-hands-on/ | 22:43 |
| elpolilla | isnt it in the official repo? | 22:43 |
| cilkay | ActionParsnip: Amarok has nothing to do with XUL. Amarok is a KDE app. XUL is the UI markup dialect from Mozilla Corporation. | 22:43 |
| cdenny | Pyrophelia thank you | 22:43 |

| fishtron | mickster04: can I query you? | 22:45 |
| cilkay | That's a different thing. | 22:45 |
| pyrophelia | cdenny, My only complain with Amarok and ipod is their rating system. It doesn't recognize the the custom ipod rating. They prefer their "how often do I play.." system for rating songs. | 22:45 |

| slashzul | JimmyDee: I just want to upgrade , my first upgrade didnt reboot, took me forever to bring it up | 22:46 |
| pyrophelia | cdenny, typically, taking songs off ipods is tricky because of the way the ipod sorts them on upload. If you used itunes to upload your songs then chances are no (however I've never personally tried). If however you only used it like a removable HD and just did a drag and drop of your songs, then yes you can extract them. | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | (22:41:59) ActionParsnip: cdenny: i like amarok, mainly due to its xul web interface | 22:46 |

| slashzul | JimmyDee: Im backing up all my /home/ /var /etc files to a 1TB backup disk | 22:48 |
| pyrophelia | cdenny, if you just want to manage your ipod, gtkpod has imo, been typically easier than amarok. but it's preferences thing. That is the quint essential aspect of linux, you rarely have only one choice. What I like you may not. | 22:49 |
| Lokiase | ActionParsnip: I opened the menu.lst, where do I have to add acpi=force.... their is a lot of text in it :s :( | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Tekumel: run lspci and you will see yuor sata controller, you can then see if you need extra modules in the livecd to get it to be detected | 22:49 |
| slashzul | JimmyDee: Now I guess I would like to just restore it once I reinstall 8.04 | 22:49 |
| Tekumel | Actionparsnip: That's where the "I'm a complete noob" part comes in >.> | 22:49 |

So I did a live boot off my flash drive, went into my HDD, searched "compiz" and deleted everything that came up. Now when I boot it works, but the bar with all the icons at the bottom of the screen is gne | 22:50 |

| pyrophelia | uncle_ben, the mbr for any windows install is always on the first partition of the first drive. it can't read it anywhere else afaik. | 22:51 |
| cdenny | pyrophelia looks like ill use gtkpod to rip music off then use amarok to play and stuff | 22:51 |

| mickster04 | the network manager session (top panel bar) doesn't show up anymore, how to fix it? i tried calling it in treminal but that returns 3 i.e. its alreay running, how do i get it to show up:( | 22:52 |
| domnukalu | Ok, this is my question: I'm completely new in using ubuntu, but I'm forced in a way, by licensing issues. So, I use this PC for 2 things: to make my OpenOffice work, and to learn to work with Blender. And Blender requires my video card to be installed and functional. Now, I've tried for about 3-4 hours different solutions, and guess what, none worked. :) I've reinstalled the whole system 3 times. I have a AT Radeon X200M video card, and a Kiwi Linux s | 22:52 |
| winter-mute | hi i am trying to install a new package and apt-get keeps on running installs on linux kernels and bailing out of the process | 22:52 |
| winter-mute | how do i fix that | 22:52 |
| JohnPhys | mickster04: are you running intrepid? | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !ati domnukalu | 22:52 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ati domnukalu | 22:52 |
| pyrophelia | cdenny, cool deal. | 22:52 |
| domnukalu | Nothing for me :) | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | bah | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !ati | domnukalu | 22:53 |
| ubottu | domnukalu: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 22:53 |
| Steelflint | throwt, technically, any website could at their discretion log any info you input, not just Ubuntu's site, so if that makes you feel uncomfortable, maybe you should quit using the interweb? | 22:53 |
| domnukalu | Am citit tot ala, ma. | 22:53 |
| JimmyDee | !envy | 22:53 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 22:53 |
| pyrophelia | !sftp | 22:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sftp | 22:53 |
| pyrophelia | damn bot | 22:53 |
| pyrophelia | you fail! | 22:53 |
| mickster04 | johnphys yeah | 22:53 |
| JimmyDee | pyrophelia: use vsftp | 22:53 |
| zetheroo | ok .. at first I was told that this was simply not possible ... but now its happening to more people .. Ubuntu Intrepid causes Kernel Panics and yet on the same system Kubuntu Intrepid does not! -- | 22:53 |
| JohnPhys | mickster04: did the problem start when you upgraded from hardy to intrepid? | 22:53 |
| white-sheep | pyrophelia: You sinner! What are you trying to do? | 22:54 |
| Luke3 | Well I added the water from compiz, and it made my screen black with a fuzzy line at the top, and rebooting didn't help. So I did a live boot off my flash drive, went into my HDD, searched "compiz" and deleted everything that came up. Now when I boot it works, but the bar with all the icons at the bottom of the screen is gone | 22:54 |
| mickster04 | nope | 22:54 |
| pyrophelia | lol | 22:54 |
| redvamp128 | mickster04: have you tried right click on the panel -- choose add to panel-- then type network choose it-- | 22:54 |
| pyrophelia | I need sftp transfer access :x | 22:54 |
| JimmyDee | luke3: open terminal type metacity -- replace | 22:54 |
| cdenny | pyrophelia OOOH ! I can add lyrics! | 22:54 |
| joejc | is it possible to use a hdtv as a monitor? | 22:54 |
| mickster04 | i recently removed it from my panel (not entirely on purpose) so i guess that won't help, but the add to panel option isnt what i want...johnphys | 22:54 |
| white-sheep | pyrophelia: For your own personal gain? (As in you're the sole person that'll be accessing into your machine) or the general usage? (Somebody ftping into your machine?) | 22:55 |
| rww | pyrophelia: Places > Connect to Server > Service type: SSH. Pretty sure that uses SFTP. | 22:55 |
| mickster04 | redvamp128 that isnt the same network thing | 22:55 |
| cdenny | Pyrophelia you would happen to know how much extra space that takes, do you? | 22:55 |
| kurrata | Luke3: make another panel and put all the stuff you want on it | 22:55 |
| white-sheep | pyrophelia: Filezilla works too. | 22:55 |

| JohnPhys | mickster04: how did you remove network-manager from the panel? | 22:55 |
| Kemal | hello | 22:55 |
| pyrophelia | white-sheep, yea, but filezilla is trash. any more than 1 trasnfer at a time and it uses damn near 90% cpu | 22:55 |
| mickster04 | right cliked remove i think | 22:55 |

| pyrophelia | JohnPhys, it does, but multi transfer | 22:56 |
| Kemal | i will be appreciated anybody could help me about freenx connection problem | 22:56 |

| redvamp128 | mickster04: the notification area is where your connection manager shows up-- in the panel as | 22:56 |

| Kemal | hello | 22:57 |

| mickster04 | redvamp128 what theme u got goin? | 23:01 |

| domnukalu | white-sheep: I've activated the propritary (or smth like that) from the hardware Driver, and he asked for a reboot, and at the reboot, my login screen never appears (sae happened with the .run file I've hardly installed, downloaded from ati.com). The only solution is to start in "safe mode" and run Xrepair or smth, but no solution t the problem (reminder: ATI Radeon X 200 M ) | 23:01 |

| Kemal | what can i do now | 23:02 |
| white-sheep | domnukalu: If you can't see anything... probably because it's out of your range (monitor size, monitor speed). You may have better luck editing your Xorg file. | 23:03 |

| pyrophelia | cdenny, KDE is a desktop environment. Think of it like the Aqua for OS X and Aero for vista. However, in linux there are 4-5 different desktops, kde being one of them. What you're using right now (assuming your using the standard ubuntu desktop install) is called gnome. Amarok was actually desgined for the desktop enviroment and a few feathers only work (bug free mind you) when you use Amarok in kde. I have never person | 23:07 |

| pyrophelia | cdenny, now keep in mind what you put into ubuntu you will get out. normally you won't get all the buttons on your mouse to work out the box, but a quick google search will lead to find out that you'll most likely have to edit your xorg.conf file to include more than the default # of mouse buttons. It's pretty standard and a good exercise for new people to linux | 23:14 |

| serengeti_ | JohnPhys, I did the same with the original NetworkManager from Intrepid, but the thing is it would always switch back to the standard profile after logging out | 23:20 |
| pyrophelia | cdenny, quit picking on ubottu he's slow :( | 23:20 |
| JimmyDee | rww: because I would just like to talk to anyone who knows anything about it, which seems to be more than I know | 23:20 |
| JohnPhys | serengeti_ hang on, I'll boot my intrepid install and see what I can figure out | 23:20 |
| serengeti_ | the additional profile was still there, but I had to select it manually every time I logged in ;) | 23:20 |
| stage3 | servo888, you have to use update-alternatives command | 23:21 |
| dr3mro | bazhang: i dont want to rename but i want to make nautilus view less charachters of file name below icon | 23:21 |
| rww | JimmyDee: if you have a specific problem or question, and you're using Ubuntu, go ahead and state it. If someone knows the answer, they'll reply. | 23:21 |

| Chlorate | JohnPhys: Wow! It doesn't do it at all. Thank you. So what causes that? Can I never use a wireless mouse again? | 23:44 |
| Nerezza | This is very off topic but can someone suggest a general talk channel for tech related talk? My PSU blew so Im stuck with a psp | 23:44 |
| MarcoPau | hello, is it possible to install 2.6.28 on intrepid? | 23:44 |
| JohnPhys | Chlorate: I have absolutely zero idea. All I know is that I started encountering the same thing on Gutsy on my desktop. | 23:44 |
| FlareDS | Nerezza: ask in #freenode | 23:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nerezza, PM me | 23:44 |
| mikhmv | MarcoPau: yes | 23:44 |
| MarcoPau | mikhmv: thru repositories I mean, I'm not referring to vanilla | 23:45 |
| throwt | something about window/desktop management that makes me feel clausterphobic on a 1200x800 screen | 23:45 |
| Chlorate | JohnPhys: Hmm. I take it back, it does it slightly for a split second sometimes. I can't tell if it's system lag, but I've never had this before. | 23:45 |
| sheep | Nerezza: try ##hardware | 23:45 |
| DVA5912 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043652 *cough* if you dont know the answer at least vote... | 23:45 |

| Jack_Sparrow | DVA5912, PLease STOP with the polling | 23:46 |
| Flannel | DVA5912: Please don't post things like that here. Thanks. This channel is for support only. | 23:46 |
| JohnPhys | Chlorate: I found it to be application dependent. (listen and exaile would skip, xmms wouldn't really), and videos (xvids) in mplayer would have big skips | 23:46 |
| FlareDS | DVA5912: don't do that | 23:47 |
| Nerezza | Sorry about having to ask here the channecl browsing on this is limited | 23:47 |
| DVA5912 | i was looking for help. i just thought it would get more people to it if they had some interactivity.. | 23:47 |

| mib_6357a9 | can programs that are for gnome run in kde and visa-versa? | 23:48 |
| JohnPhys | Chlorate: believe me, I feel your pain | 23:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nerezza, You were told a couple of options for channels to join | 23:48 |
| bazhang | mib_6357a9, sure | 23:48 |

| StealthCP | does anyone have isotostick.sh? | 23:49 |
| disappearedng | how do I obtain the UUID for /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab? | 23:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | StealthCP, I have alink somewhere | 23:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !uuid | 23:49 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 23:49 |
| bazhang | !give me a test | 23:50 |
| * BiNz gives me a laptop | 23:50 | |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about give me a test | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | StealthCP, http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh | 23:50 |
| JohnPhys | Chlorate: This is unrelated to the mouse thing though, right? and the audio skipping? BTW, if you would be so kind, please add any relevant info to a bug I filed a while ago (it got closed because I didn't have time to update it) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/180963 | 23:50 |

| dare1 | how to install kcontrol in ubuntu? | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gotgnu, Doubtful | 23:50 |
| gotgnu | Jack_Sparrow: I mean the file system should be the same...P.S cool name | 23:51 |
| sketch2002 | Ok... someone explain what this means. I have a laptop with a monitor attached. The laptop display is capable of a resolution of up to 1920x1200, the monitor only supports 1024x768. If I start ubuntu with the monitor attached it comes up in 1024x768 resolution, without the monitor I only get up to 800x640. Both monitors display the same stuff, I'd like to set it up with the laptop at 1920x1200 and the monitor with 1024x768 with different | 23:51 |
| sketch2002 | stuff on each of them (like I do in winxp). Any ideas? | 23:51 |
| abyss_ | lo everybody i got a little mini notebook from JVC with intel prcessor 1 ghz wlan40 gb hdd and a fresh install of 8.04 | 23:51 |
| JohnPhys | serengeti: any progress? | 23:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gotgnu, I wont use nor recommend nor provide support for wubi installs. Please read what they are and how they differ from a regular partition install | 23:52 |
| gotgnu | I guess I just need to go buy a cd then | 23:52 |
| abyss_ | all seems to work out of the box wlan,sound,lan and even poor gl support | 23:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gotgnu, they are free | 23:52 |
| StealthCP | Jack_Sparrow, I can use iso2usb.sh on a partition, right? *upon examing the script, it mentions only device, eg sdb instead of sdb1 | 23:52 |
| Chlorate | JohnPhys: Yes it is. The audio skipping is brand new. I will add information to that bug report if I can. This bug is very, very annoying. | 23:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | StealthCP, I only used it once log ago.. so no idea | 23:53 |
| mib_6357a9 | ok i installed digikam, guess it is kde, and now i have many other programs as well, like dolphin, k3b and konquerer | 23:53 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !install | 23:53 |

| Bruce | whats the name of packet manager for ubuntu? | 23:55 |
| JohnPhys | Chlorate: I'm not good with ATI cards (meaning I have no idea how to do anything), but it might be that compiz is not using the right refresh rate | 23:55 |
| kcarden | can anyone at all help me with installing synCE? | 23:55 |
