| Jack_Sparrow | !helpme | 00:00 |
| dochaven | Does anyone know what I should use as an irc console client for google talk? | 00:00 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:00 |
| dreamy_ | Jack_Sparrow: it wasnt supposed to be here ? | 00:00 |
| mib_1s4zr0 | Jack_Sparrow: can help me | 00:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dreamy_, It should not be if your ati is lower than 9550 | 00:01 |

| obf213 | work with nautilus? anyone else having this problem, it just says timed out? | 00:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mib_1s4zr0, Ask your question and wait for an answer. Please do not direct it to me. or others will think I am already helping ou and they wont answer | 00:02 |
| rww | shenron: ask in #ubuntu-motu | 00:02 |
| dochaven | rww: is it hard to pull off, because I'm trying to use google talk over ssh | 00:02 |
| shenron | rww: thanks | 00:02 |
| mib_1s4zr0 | Jack_Sparrow: ok jack | 00:02 |

| _damus_ | ok | 00:03 |
| PoPpiLLs | not funny | 00:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dreamy_, I am saying that the fglrx is not for your video card | 00:04 |
| dochaven | rww: you have no idea how much this helps me (^^,) | 00:04 |
| mib_1s4zr0 | lifenova: add program into my ubuntu.. then i got this msg This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'. | 00:04 |
| goffio | i'm (loop)mounting a file in another partition in /var/spool/squid, but when i ls -l /var/spool i see that it has me:mygroup ownership (was squid:squid)...how can i possibly avoid this? | 00:04 |
| _oax | is there a good place to even read about dbus/hal and related developemtn or diagnostic tools? | 00:04 |
| dreamy_ | Jack_Sparrow: i dont have nothhing to execute in the terminal by typing fglrx | 00:04 |
| rww | dochaven: oh, I do. I do the exact same thing as you want to; bitlbee + irssi is a life saver :) | 00:05 |
| _oax | like something that will sniff dbus traffic | 00:05 |
| dreamy_ | but i think i had before | 00:05 |
| rdz | hi all. i would like to 'mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1', but i keep getting: /dev/sdb1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here! i pretty sure, that it is not mounted.. any ideas? | 00:05 |
| lifenova | mib_1s4zr0: type 'sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' in a terminal, then copy the contents of that file into the pastebin, and provide me with a link? (http://paste.ubuntu.com) | 00:05 |
| D-Spair | Evenin' all. Got a question about dbus-send. Is there a way that a CRON job running as root can send a notification such that it will appear in the GUI users' system tray? | 00:05 |
| rww | !gksudo | lifenova | 00:05 |
| ubottu | lifenova: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 00:05 |
| lifenova | rww: oops. | 00:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dreamy_, From cli / terminal type: fglrxinfo ...It should show: The program 'fglrxinfo' is currently not installed. | 00:06 |
| lifenova | mib_1s4zr0: make that 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' | 00:06 |
| unna | about one week ago I've used rsync to back up files with options "rsync -rlpEAXgoDtv"... When using the same options again, will this delta algorithm be applied automatically so that only differences in files will be transfered? | 00:06 |
| n8tuser | rdz -> try fuser -km /dev/sdb1 to kill processes attached to it | 00:06 |
| _oax | rdz: you ran mount ot make sure it wasn't mounted? | 00:06 |
| _oax | rdz: I also had that problem when a partition was considered prt of a raid array. i had been playing with it a few months before and forgot i used it for that | 00:07 |
| TBotNik | Anyone here know how to get a submittal/project into SourceForge? I have 4 projects defined, but SSH keys constantly blow, regardless of what I do, and I can not config Putty or WinSCP to get into the projects. | 00:07 |
| rdz | n8tuser, even after doing that i get the same error | 00:07 |
| dreamy_ | Jack_Sparrow: strange thing.. i got no fglrxinfo ( i had it before) | 00:07 |
| rdz | _oax, there is nothing in /etc/fstab or in /proc/mounts | 00:07 |

| Samosurfer | I need help with an ALSA bug that fuses together the controls on the record tab with those on the playback tab. Thus...record mic up....playback mic up!. | 00:08 |
| n8tuser | rdz -> have you rebooted ? | 00:09 |
| mib_1s4zr0 | lifenova: one more thing.. i cant use xchat gnome irc chat to login into ubuntu server.. they said i'm using open proxy | 00:09 |
| _oax | rdz - hmm I do not know how mkfs.ext3 determines that a partition may be in use. you could try strace-ing it to see what system calls it is doing before it gives that error | 00:09 |
| rdz | _oax, here the problem was: i had lvm2 setup to span to have one partition spannig two disks. one of them died. since then i am trying to get a similar setup again, but i fail at this early stage | 00:09 |
| ari_stress | good morning all :) | 00:09 |
| rdz | n8tuser, several times yet | 00:09 |
| goffio | i'm (loop)mounting a file in another partition in /var/spool/squid, but when i ls -l /var/spool i see that it has me:mygroup ownership (was squid:squid)...how can i possibly avoid this? | 00:10 |

| mib_1s4zr0 | lifenova: XChat-GNOME 0.24.1 | 00:12 |
| ogre | what do i type to find out what version of ubuntu im running? | 00:13 |
| goffio | DasEi: it is already owned by squid, but when i do the mount it changes ownership | 00:13 |
| rww | !version | ogre | 00:13 |
| ubottu | ogre: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 00:13 |
| dreamy_ | fglrx is supposed not to be the then.. :S (got no tag..) er.. named fglrxinfo | 00:13 |
| rdz | _oax, no output from that either | 00:13 |
| shear | hmm, is the emerald-themes package deprecated? I try to install emerald and emerald themes, i now have emerald, but zero themes | 00:13 |
| lifenova | mib_1s4zr0: no, I mean version of ubuntu | 00:13 |
| mib_1s4zr0 | lifenova: intrepid ibex | 00:14 |
| _oax | rdz - really weird. when I had that problem, i used mdadm to tell the system that the partition was not part of a raid, but it sounds like you never messed with that. at this point, I would strace mkfs.ext3 | 00:14 |
| rdz | _oax, even after using fdisk to completely format the drive and setting up a new partition table, i cannot touch /dev/sdb1... i am really clueless here | 00:14 |
| goffio | nevermind, chowned *after* mount did it, thanx! | 00:14 |
| rdz | _oax, i never touch raid | 00:15 |

| DasEi | goffio:gottto change the dir you moun to | 00:15 |

| mib_1s4zr0 | unmet dependencies = what is it mean | 00:18 |
| lifenova | mib_1s4zr0: if the file you opened earlier with the command I told you was empty, it means your system doesn't know which repositories to use- where to get the software from, that is | 00:19 |
| chu_ | Awesome, thanks for the help. | 00:19 |
| _oax | Asking: does anyone know what is the service in gnome that detects and mounts usb storage devices? it is not working for me and I would like to track this problem down | 00:19 |

| mib_1s4zr0 | lifenova: still got empty list | 00:24 |
| bazhang | Stargazer, a ppa from jdong | 00:24 |
| _oax | rdz: and the manpage for open() doesn't say what O_EXCL is supposed to mean here. in fact it says that behavior is undefined what O_CREAT is not used with it | 00:24 |
| Stargazer | Bazhang... link ? | 00:24 |

| dochaven | rww: YOU ARE AWESOME!! | 00:24 |
| _oax | rdz: so that's weird. anyhow, it's the kernel tells you that the device is in use. mkfs.ext3 isn't making that determination by itself | 00:24 |
| lifenova | mib_1s4zr0: Yes, you're supposed to copy and paste this (http://paste.ubuntu.com/107144/) into that empty file that you have, and save it | 00:25 |
| dochaven | (^^,) | 00:25 |
| rdz | _oax, i see.. thanks for helping | 00:25 |
| CyL | any clue on how to dictionaries up on ubuntu? | 00:25 |
| rdz | _oax, however, what could the kernel make believe, that the device is in use? | 00:25 |
| bazhang | https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive Stargazer you know how to add repos? | 00:25 |
| dreamy_ | Jack_Sparrow: ive concluded that i dont have xorg driver fglrx installed : he program 'aticonfig' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 00:25 |

| lifenova | CyL: Applications -> Office -> Dictionary... if you hit edit and then prefs, I believe there is an option to add dictionaries | 00:25 |

| felixsulla | How do you save your settings in Ubuntu so they are permanent? When I restart it resets everything? | 00:26 |

| mib_1s4zr0 | lifenova: ok i've copy that then paste into my source list | 00:27 |

| n8tuser | ObiXidO -> which channel are you using? | 00:30 |
| bazhang | felixsulla, if the os starts up with the iso file loaded or the ubuntu cd inserted then it is an install, I suspect you never disabled one or the other | 00:30 |

| rdz | _oax, this is really a blocker, since it prevents me since two days to fix my server.... i would do it from a livecd if i would know how that works... there at least i can create a filesystem | 00:30 |
| lifenova | mib_1s4zr0: do you have any other programs open that are accessing that folder? | 00:30 |
| bazhang | leo, what is your real question | 00:31 |
| n8tuser | ObiXidO -> which channel is your AP operating at? 1 to 11 ? | 00:31 |
| mib_1s4zr0 | lifenova: which folder? | 00:31 |
| lifenova | mib_1s4zr0: /var/lib/dpkg/ | 00:31 |
| felixsulla | So, to make it a full install I'd want to disable the loading from ISO? | 00:31 |
| lifenova | mib_1s4zr0: make sure you've closed the gedit window that you had your /etc/apt/sources.list file open in | 00:31 |
| leo | * hours in the forums today and no one can tell me if there is a program that will translate some files into english for me.... | 00:31 |
| _oax | rdz: yeah sorry i feel your pain. I'm actually in here asking a question myself, I'm not an ubuntu support volunteer myself. someone else might be able to help better | 00:31 |
| bazhang | felixsulla, after it is installed yes; change it to boot from 'hard drive' instead of iso | 00:32 |

| Jack_Sparrow | leo, Tons of web pages can do it. | 00:32 |
| rdz | _oax, sorry. i wasn't complaining.. i am very grateful, that you were trying to help | 00:32 |
| mib_1s4zr0 | lifenova: yes i've close all terminal and source list.. but got this msg E: Read error - read (5 Input/output error) E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. | 00:32 |
| _oax | rdz: but my approach would be to find out what makes the kernel think that a device is "in use" not allow it to be opened exclusively (i.e., with "O_EXCL") | 00:32 |
| bazhang | leo, google translate | 00:32 |
| rdz | _oax, it's just that i am very surprised by this kind of problem.. | 00:33 |
| leo | ok I will try that.... | 00:33 |
| lifenova | mib_1s4zr0: can you post the exact contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file on paste.ubuntu.com | 00:33 |
| _oax | rdz: the kernel must keep a map of devices that are in use and who is using them. the trick is getting that info out of the kernel. fuser looked like the right approach, but it seems to apply to userland only. "dmsetup" seems promising, did you try dmsetup info ? | 00:33 |

| leo | French and german to english... | 00:36 |
| rdz | n8tuser, now it shows 83, for testing reasons i set it to linux in order to try mkfs.ext3 afterwards | 00:36 |
| n8tuser | rdz -> to make an lvm i believe it has to be 8e | 00:36 |
| rdz | n8tuser, but yeah, using fdisk works fine.. i can wipe and recreate the partition table and still have the same proble afterwards | 00:36 |
| mib_1s4zr0 | lifenova: i've paste.. i gonna go to eat now | 00:36 |
| stricjux_ | anyone? | 00:36 |
| mib_1s4zr0 | thanks | 00:37 |
| lifenova | mib_1s4zr0: post the link... | 00:37 |
| rdz | n8tuser, that is absolutely correct... the endresult should be 8e and a running lvm | 00:37 |

| n8tuser | rdz -> dont you have to specify the type first before making a FS on it? | 00:37 |
| === less is now known as more | ||
| rdz | n8tuser, yeah, yet i tried mkfs.ext3, not pvcreate | 00:38 |
| rdz | n8tuser, that is why i set it to 83 | 00:38 |
| rdz | n8tuser, however, neither works | 00:38 |
| n8tuser | rdz -> no no, i meant with fdisk or sfdisk you have to set to 8e and write then you can make the fs afterwards | 00:38 |

| _oax | rdz: did dmsetup tell you that it was "ACTIVE"? sorry I was away and missed what you said before that | 00:39 |
| rdz | n8tuser, ah.. i understand what you mean: the initial problem was to create a lvm, but as it failed, i went for simple ext3 and that failed as well. that is the reason for the current state.. the end goal would still be lvm, setting it up the way you mentioned | 00:39 |

| rdz | n8tuser, after doing the fdisk part, i do: pvcreate /dev/sdb1 and then i get: Can't open /dev/hdb1 exclusively. Mounted filesystem? | 00:44 |
| _oax | rdz: you could try rmmod the dm (device mapper) modules, if you don't ahve any lvm2 running | 00:44 |
| n8tuser | rdz -> i dont know if you can do an e2fsck to file check your existing lvm before mounting it? am just wild guessing here now | 00:44 |

| BCampbell | i'm having issues w/Nvidia 177 & 173. If I want to try 180.22 from the Nvidia website, I need to close X. To do this -> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop? this should drop to a CLI and then once the install is run, do I restart gdm or reboot first? | 00:44 |

| redbuntu | hello? | 01:12 |
| mindrape | actually... lemme hop on that comp entirely. I'm in Windows VMWare on my ubuntu laptop and mIRC is killing me with its awfulness... | 01:12 |
| redbuntu | i am new to ubuntu and have english bad | 01:13 |
| redbuntu | i tried to install nvidia drivers | 01:13 |
| Flynsarmy | n8tuser, http://pastebin.com/d62ca98b2 | 01:13 |
| redbuntu | quit gdm | 01:13 |
| exodus_ms | redbuntu: what language do you prefer? | 01:13 |
| xxCody | IS there an app i can download to have my own menu? | 01:13 |
| redbuntu | It is a small indian language | 01:13 |
| redbuntu | you most likely dont know it | 01:14 |
| exodus_ms | ok | 01:14 |
| redbuntu | i accidentally shut down badly | 01:14 |
| syockit | Can I tell the system what to do before mounting root during boot? | 01:14 |
| redbuntu | ??? | 01:14 |
| redbuntu | i do not understand | 01:14 |
| captain_ | Help, I installed an app, then I got no sound in the whole system so I uninstalled and still no audio? | 01:14 |
| n8tuser | Flynsarmy -> that looks okay too, i can not figure out from your command why the system would not take it and complains | 01:14 |
| dmsuperman | redbuntu: What don't you understand? | 01:14 |
| redbuntu | i quit gdm | 01:14 |
| redbuntu | mounting root during boot | 01:15 |
| redbuntu | i have no gdm | 01:15 |
| redbuntu | and i cannot get gui | 01:15 |
| redbuntu | what do i do? | 01:15 |
| mindrape | redbuntu - which gdm startx | 01:15 |
| mindrape | no work? | 01:15 |
| xxCody | How do you install Java on Ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| n8tuser | syockit -> maybe if you customize your initrd ? | 01:15 |
| redbuntu | i do not know which gdm | 01:15 |
| mindrape | xxCody - do you just want a java virtual machine for webbrowsing or do you want a java development kit for programming? | 01:15 |
| mindrape | which is a command... | 01:15 |
| mindrape | type it | 01:16 |
| mindrape | which gdm | 01:16 |
| dmsuperman | mindrape: I feel you, mIRC blows :P | 01:16 |
| n8tuser | xxCody -> apt-cache search sun-java and choose to install the one you like | 01:16 |
| mindrape | your path might be jacked up | 01:16 |
| redbuntu | i typed sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 01:16 |
| redbuntu | and that is it | 01:16 |
| mindrape | cd /etc/init.d sudo service gdm start | 01:16 |
| redbuntu | then sh NBidia | 01:16 |
| cilkay | xxCody: What kind of menu? And to install Java, apt-get install <thePackageName>, or use one of GUI package managers or aptitude. | 01:16 |
| redbuntu | ah | 01:16 |
| redbuntu | i try now | 01:16 |
| Rudd-O | aaahhh mirc, so many memories | 01:16 |
| xxCody | Can you recommend one? I dont know what im doing really. And how do i install it? | 01:17 |
| redbuntu | lol @ mirc | 01:17 |
| mindrape | I recently got VMWare setup w Windows 3.1, Win98, WinXP, and OpenBSD 4.3 images... I was just in WinXP screwing around and decided to IRC... :P | 01:17 |
| mindrape | but yeah, I forgot how bad mIRC was.. | 01:17 |
| n8tuser | xxCody -> what do you need the java for? try the command i suggested earlier first to give you a feel of what is available | 01:17 |
| mindrape | dmsuperman: did you get my notice w the URL btw? | 01:17 |
| cilkay | xxCody: I told you above how to install it. You have three ways, apt-get, aptitude, or some GUI like Adept or whatever the Gnome one is called. | 01:17 |
| xxCody | Yea i did... I see everything. | 01:17 |

| rdz | n8tuser, thank you for all your help | 01:19 |
| Terabyte | when is the next version of ubuntu coming out, and what will it include (a link would be good) | 01:20 |
| redbuntu | hey | 01:20 |
| sheep | mect: are you connecting to the internet through a router? | 01:20 |
| jrib | The_Rebel: use emerald as your window decorator | 01:20 |
| rdz | n8tuser, seems, that _oax had gone already.. | 01:20 |

| mect | yeah sheep but I don't think that's the proble, if I turn the software firewall off (guarddog) dcc works | 01:20 |
| The_Rebel | so i guess i need fusion-icon or is there a command? | 01:20 |
| redbuntu | @Terabyte next version of buntu comes out when it ocmes out | 01:20 |
| jrib | The_Rebel: in ccsm you can choose the window decorator | 01:20 |
| mect | but I'm not sure that's the best idea | 01:20 |
| The_Rebel | oh sweet | 01:20 |
| redbuntu | named jaunjty jackalope | 01:20 |
| mect | I was just wondering if I could do it manually | 01:20 |
| Terabyte | thanks | 01:20 |
| sheep | mect: you will need to make sure that ther are ports open in your router that forward to your computer and that your client is set to use those ports for dcc | 01:21 |
| n8tuser | rdz yes, he may have already | 01:21 |
| redbuntu | check ubuntuforums.org | 01:21 |
| The_Rebel | where exactly is this option at? | 01:21 |
| === CoJaBo__ is now known as CoJaBo | ||
| jrib | The_Rebel: did you install ccsm? | 01:21 |
| The_Rebel | yes | 01:21 |
| jrib | The_Rebel: use the search feature | 01:22 |
| The_Rebel | i did | 01:22 |
| The_Rebel | and i found a pane called window decorations | 01:22 |
| The_Rebel | but there's no emerarld option | 01:22 |
| mect | it is, sheep, files send fine when guarddog is turned off (I've tried adding the ports in guarddog but it still won't work), do you know what to type to configure dcc to work? I mean with iptables? | 01:22 |
| jrib | !enter | The_Rebel | 01:22 |
| ubottu | The_Rebel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 01:22 |
| jrib | The_Rebel: how about a default window decorator? | 01:22 |
| The_Rebel | ? | 01:22 |
| dmsuperman | mindrape: It finds the hardware "it says hardware present: yes" but when I try to do "configure network" it says "couldn't find network configuration tool" and when I try using nm as usually it still can't find any | 01:22 |
| jrib | The_Rebel: you don't see something talking about a default window decorator? | 01:23 |
| The_Rebel | nope | 01:23 |
| sheep | mect: I'm not sure. I usually don't use irc for transferring files | 01:23 |
| dmsuperman | The_Rebel: The default is "gtk-window-decorator" | 01:23 |
| mect | ah :( thanks anyway | 01:23 |
| The_Rebel | right now udner "command:" it says "/usr/bin/compiz-decorator" | 01:23 |
| redbuntu | That is very weird | 01:24 |
| dmsuperman | Ah or that | 01:24 |
| jrib | The_Rebel: yes. Did you install emerald already? | 01:24 |
| redbuntu | there are one and one half of loading bars | 01:24 |
| The_Rebel | no, as i said, i am running the default compiz install here | 01:24 |
| mindrape | mect - DCC uses a port range which you configure w your client. | 01:24 |
| dmsuperman | The_Rebel: You could also try "gtk-window-decorator --replace" or "emerald --replace" (if you do "sudo apt-get install emerald" first) | 01:24 |
| jrib | The_Rebel: install emerald | 01:24 |

| Maahes | I'm having a problem with wine and pulseaudio...or well, pulseaudio in general. I kill pulseaudio, and try to run something via alsa or aoss and I get the following: ALSA lib pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused | 01:51 |
| jrolland-MacBook | How do I turn off booting into X from Rescue CD? I have the hard drive mounted | 01:52 |
| scunizi | jrolland-MacBook, here's how to stop x from starting on boot.. however ubuntu forums is down for maintainance.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43516 | 01:52 |
| Maahes | So now, incidentally, I can't not use pulseaudio | 01:52 |
| * waldi_ waits for the kernel to compile | 01:52 | |
| Guest77004 | mindrape, hmm... so anywhere else i could check what went wrong? | 01:52 |
| mindrape | Maahes - do you start and stop the alsa/pulseaudio/etc services from /etc/init.d using sudo service WHATEVER start ? | 01:52 |
| Maahes | mindrape, I have, yes. | 01:52 |
| Maahes | although I also just kill it | 01:53 |
| jrolland-MacBook | scunizi: Thanks so much! I will wait until it comes up from maintenence | 01:53 |
| mindrape | Guest77004: you can try all the /var/log files... syslog and debug perhaps? | 01:53 |
| intrepidm | I see something on the rythmbox website about needing id3 support in gstreamer, how do I get that in ubuntu | 01:53 |
| thermod | eseven | 01:53 |
| Guest77004 | mindrape, ok, thanks | 01:53 |
| mindrape | intrepidm: sudo apt-cache search id3 | 01:54 |
| scunizi | jrolland-MacBook, google.com was my friend :) | 01:54 |
| mindrape | intrepidm: I imagine one of those libs you will need... | 01:54 |
| intrepidm | mindrape: nothing promsiing, tried looking for a gstreamer.*id3 package aleardy | 01:55 |

| Starhero | siriker funny, i am installing that distro on another pc | 03:11 |

| CyL | How do I change character encoding in ubuntu? | 03:12 |
| Starhero | Who here things they are REALLY REALLY REALLY good at linux, if so, I need your help...since if I can learn how to do what I am about to do on the other pc...i can then use almost any linux | 03:12 |
| space_cadet | someone removed ubuntu 8.04, clean installed 8.10 then booted to linux, then booted to windows... in windows (after this process) his network card says "network cable unplugged" | 03:13 |

| Claire2009 | question - does anyone know why some videos on youtube skip? | 03:14 |
| mindrape | Starhero -what were you trying to do? did you pass special parameters to grub to get to where you are? | 03:14 |
| Starhero | FIrst you must kno how I am installing fedora, or any linux distro for that matter. I am sure you have heard of UNETBOOTIN | 03:14 |
| mindrape | Claire2009: you probably have a crappy video card or small amt of RAM. | 03:14 |
| rsmith16384 | claire some have higher bandwidth than others | 03:14 |
| Claire2009 | i have high bandwidth. | 03:14 |
| rsmith16384 | and may not bode well with your connection | 03:14 |
| Starhero | that is the only way i can ...since I don't have cds. | 03:14 |
| thermod | jrib are you here? | 03:15 |
| mindrape | Claire2009: having a fast internet connection is only part of it. You also need to have a good graphics card and enough system memory to be able to run things w/o it being "skippy" | 03:15 |
| rsmith16384 | skip at the same spot everytime? | 03:15 |
| rsmith16384 | or is it different everytime? | 03:15 |
| Starhero | What is wrong with it tho is that alot of distros can't mount the root files system....i am baffled on why some and not all | 03:15 |
| space_cadet | anyone?? | 03:16 |
| Claire2009 | mindrape - i haven't had a problem with youtube until tonight | 03:16 |

| DasEi | space_cadet: there is no special with linux, it's a windows prob then (or a connection, f.e. router) prob | 03:18 |
| miranda_psi | thread: its probably misreading the video aspect or the video file has incorrect aspect ratio | 03:18 |
| thread | miranda_psi, the video file is fine. I can play them back fine in x11 mode | 03:18 |
| thread | but the performance is terrible | 03:18 |

| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:47 |

| Ward1983 | unomi, it uses a config | 04:21 |

| xorlim | n2diy: it is an old Linux problem that sometimes the system tray does not appear, the same problem is with old KDE and perhaps some newish GNOME. You can basically launch the systray with some such command as "systray" or some else. | 04:22 |

| unomi | Using configuration from /var/lib/noip2/noip2.conf but that file is a binary file | 04:23 |
| Ward1983 | unomi, aaaaaaaah ok now i get it | 04:23 |
| mindrape | Dexi - when you spawn the process it probably fails cause your hostname doesnt exist.... check the eggdrop.log for failures. Also, did you log onto that IRC network and /whois the eggdrop bot? | 04:23 |
| unomi | you shouldnt set anything in that yourself | 04:23 |
| mindrape | Dexi - if you think the name might have been taken when it logged on you can /who hostname-of-the-bot | 04:23 |
| Ward1983 | unomi, so it jsut doesnt work then because its setup right | 04:23 |
| xorlim | n2diy: the system tray is basically a process just like any other process in the system. numerous things can go wrong with it so that it doesn't start automatically. then you either reboot the system (like you did) or launch the process manually (like I did 1 or 2 times in KDE). | 04:23 |

| Ward1983 | unomi, no NAT support? | 04:24 |

| mindrape | Dexi - I'd recommend strace. sudo apt-get install strace | 04:25 |
| xorlim | n2diy: basically you want to find out the name of every process that does something to your desktop. if you know the name of the process, then you know the name of the binary or script used to start the process. | 04:25 |
| mindrape | then strace ./eggdrop or however you launch it. | 04:25 |

| Dexi | mindrape: i think this is the problem: http://pastebin.com/d5108b06f | 04:36 |

| CryptZombie | well think ive figured out my problem its gonna have to wait till tomrow when i can get a blank cd though ;) thanks guys cu l8tr | 04:37 |

| vigo | One admin?sudo, the rest are on non-sudo accounts, | 04:37 |
| Labud | mindrape do i do the fdisk -l now? | 04:37 |
| spill | the only negative is that all sudo fuctions will be unavaible when I truly just need to lockout dansguardian? any other thoughts. | 04:37 |
| rdw200169 | spill: consequentially, you will also learn that you can give very finite rights to users as far as 'root' access is concerned, for example, you can give a specific user the ability to access a particular program as 'root' using sudo, and nothing else | 04:38 |
| TQuid | spill, sudo *might* allow you to give a negative permission but then someone can just do "sudo bash" and do as they like. | 04:38 |

| nyaa | then you have the same priviledges that that account has | 04:39 |
| spill | right but su is super user and it asks for root password right? not the user password as sudo asks for. | 04:39 |
| TQuid | spill, as yourself you just do "sudo su <user>" | 04:39 |
| nyaa | spill: no su stands for either substitute user or switch user, if you use no arguments it assumes root | 04:39 |
| TQuid | That lets you test their privileges, i think is what is being suggested. | 04:39 |
| phpmonk | TQuid: thx, i will try that | 04:40 |
| spill | oh, ok. | 04:40 |
| sloopy | grinn, ln -s dest folder | 04:40 |
| nyaa | spill: but if you have other accounts ont he computer, you can do su accountname and you can become that account as far as priviledges | 04:40 |
| grinn | how do i pull up a command prompt? | 04:40 |
| vigo | su is kinda non-available in Ubuntu, is wise, that is why sudo is used | 04:40 |

| Mimi | corinth, I think (too lazy to look it up now) it's 3, but if you do all the updates, you'll get 4 | 05:05 |
| blaq | all dmesg gives me is: metacity[7447]: segfault at 0 ip 080abab3 sp bfde6fc0 error 4 in metacity | 05:05 |
| ic3fr0g | mimi: yes i want be asked for password. | 05:05 |
| ibuffy | i just did "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" rebooted and gdm won't respond to my keyboard or mouse, i luckily can use the other tty screens... help please | 05:06 |
| sloopy | grinn, still there? | 05:06 |
| blaq | i think it has something to do with the latest security updates that came through, as it was working fine before i had to restart due to the updates | 05:06 |
| vigo | Mimi: cause Ubuntu ROX! I am at 0.2s lag,,so I dunno | 05:06 |
| grinn | sloopy: yes, sir | 05:06 |
| spill | anyone know an easy way to keep dansguardian from being shutdown with sudo, and force it to be done with the root password and not the user password as done with the sudo command? | 05:06 |
| sockets | KDE vs GNOME (as far as speed, stability and features), anyone? | 05:06 |
| ic3fr0g | hello.. i have a problem i have add/installed a GDM theme and, my pc open normaly it dont ask me for pass: any help please? i want to ask for password.. im using Ubuntu Gnome 8.10 | 05:07 |
| blaq | sockets: try them both, you decide | 05:07 |
| ibuffy | kde 3.5 ftw | 05:07 |
| blaq | sockets: that's an ongoing point of contention/rivalry amongst linux users | 05:07 |
| Mimi | ic3fr0g, OKay, then go to Adminitstration, Login Window. Then go to : Security: Make sure it doens't say "enable automatic login" | 05:07 |
| sockets | if i install both it won't slow down either while using it will it? | 05:07 |
| temppy | sockets: features is the main differentiating factor in that decision | 05:07 |
| sloopy | grinn, ok 'ln -s destination_dir local_name_for_dest' | 05:07 |
| ravenor_ | sockets: I've heard some people dont like KDE4. I believe Kubuntu 8.04 would include KDE3 though | 05:07 |
| vigo | sockets: thye both have there good sides... | 05:07 |
| blaq | nah sockets, it will only use one at any time, so you can judge based off that | 05:07 |
| rabz | i cant get my logitech quickcam to run on aMSN. i have tried gspca source on the synaptic packages what should i do? | 05:07 |
| ic3fr0g | Mimi: thanks | 05:08 |
| Mimi | ic3fr0g, should work :) | 05:08 |
| ibuffy | temppy, i just installed ubuntu-desktop because kde4+ seems too slow | 05:08 |
| blaq | sockets: kde is more like windows, but by default ubuntu uses gnome | 05:08 |
| ibuffy | but i can't access gnome because it doesn't respond to my mouse or keyboard.... | 05:08 |
| grinn | sloopy: so i need the address on the system of the folder? | 05:08 |
| sloopy | so to make a alias of your flash drive in your local directory you would type 'ln -s /media/flash_device_name ~/myflashdrive' | 05:08 |
| ravenor_ | How's xfce for you guys? | 05:08 |
| sockets | thanks guys :], ibuffy - i heard 8.04 is more stable, you should check that out.. i made the mistake of getting 8.10 first and it was giving me a few issues too | 05:08 |
| ibuffy | ravenor_: fast | 05:08 |
| Lo-si | hi | 05:09 |
| n8tuser | spill -> think about it carefully, who belongs to sudoers? what can sudoers do? should anyone else be a member of the group that owns dansguardian ? | 05:09 |
| sloopy | ravenor_, i use xfce on my router | 05:09 |
| ibuffy | ravenor_: slow compared to xmonad :) | 05:09 |
| temppy | ibuffy: do you have the evdev driver installed? | 05:09 |
| blaq | does anyone know where metacity keeps its logs? | 05:09 |
| grinn | sloopy: i think i get it ... lemme take a quick try | 05:09 |
| Lo-si | Can anyone help me with a kubuntu problem? | 05:09 |
| ibuffy | temppy: i'll check.. | 05:09 |
| sockets | ibuffy, i've had 8.04 for about 5 days now with gnome, haven't tried kde but it's running a lot better than 8.10 was | 05:09 |
| sloopy | grinn, yes you need the directory path to the directory | 05:09 |
| Mimi | sockets, by better, do you mean faster? if that's the case, I think i know what your problem was. "tracker". It slows down your pc, and unfortunately, its enabled by default on ibex. Disabling it works :D | 05:10 |
| Lo-si | I installed kvm and can not figure out how to turn it on so win4lin will use it | 05:10 |
| vigo | 8.10 was too complex for me, so I reverted to 8.04 | 05:10 |
| spill | while, I truly only need the root to have access to shut it down.? | 05:10 |
| ibuffy | temppy: where is this 'evdev' driver you speak of? | 05:10 |
| spill | the other logins would need access to install packadges through sudo. | 05:11 |
| n8tuser | spill -> did you digest what i asked? | 05:11 |
| Mimi | Lo-si, why dont you go ahead and ask? Maybe we can. If we can't, you can try on #kubuntu | 05:11 |

| cmatheson | i'm writing a utility that needs to start up on /dev/tty1 on bootup. is there a way to make init spawn my program w/ STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR set appropriately? or should i just open /dev/tty1 and read/write to that? | 05:12 |

| blaq | do you plug into the wall? | 05:17 |
| DasEi | rebel_kid: yes , login <username> | 05:17 |
| blaq | is the wall socket a network socket or a phone socket? | 05:17 |

| cattlesnake | Mimi, I have nothing that says wireless interfact. | 05:17 |

| DasEi | ravenor_ : /query ubottu | 05:18 |
| sloopy | grinn, ahh no, if you named it My Documents then no, default is usually 'documents' | 05:18 |
| Pandemic187 | blaq: Wi-Fi and ethernet...but terribly slow. | 05:18 |
| Pandemic187 | I mean both* | 05:18 |
| sloopy | grinn, err 'Documents' | 05:18 |
| cattlesnake | Mimi, I have network UNCLAIMED, network, and network DISABLED. | 05:18 |
| Mimi | cattlesnake, oops | 05:18 |
| n8tuser | Pandemic187 -> is it same site? so having multiple access to that remote site maybe putting on a priority basis ? | 05:18 |
| blaq | so you're plugged into the wall AND using wifi at the same time? or both of them are slow for you? | 05:18 |
| DasEi | rebel_kid:you tried from remote ? | 05:18 |
| Pandemic187 | n8tuser: Is what the same site? I ran speed tests in the same room. | 05:19 |
| rebel_kid | DasEi, no im on the machine. just apps -> terminal -> login <username> | 05:19 |
| n8tuser | Pandemic187 -> its also possible your school is putting a cap on your accesses? | 05:19 |
| blaq | jump into a terminal and give me the output for ifconfig privately | 05:19 |

| Pandemic187 | n8tuser: Nah. I've been using it for about 2 & 1/2 years now. This is something else. | 05:19 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | so samba-latest.tar.gz is Samba4? | 05:20 |
| DasEi | rebel_kid:don't know then, just ried here and works | 05:20 |
| n8tuser | Pandemic187 -> any recent updates? | 05:20 |
| grinn | sloopy: what exactly is this supposed to do? | 05:20 |
| rebel_kid | DasEi, thats odd, i really dont want to logout everytime i need to access psql as postgres | 05:20 |
| Pandemic187 | n8tuser: It's just as slow on Windows as it is on Linux, for the record. | 05:20 |
| nightrid3r | new_to_ubuntu-: forget tar.gz files, use the repos instread | 05:20 |
| n8tuser | Pandemic187 -> okay, are your nameserver functioning ? | 05:20 |
| sloopy | grinn, what? the tab? it will complete the dir name with the \ in the appropriate places | 05:21 |
| Pandemic187 | n8tuser: Is that an IRC thing? I'm not sure what nameserver means. | 05:21 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | ok | 05:21 |
| blaq | does anyone know where metacity keeps its log files? | 05:21 |
| n8tuser | Pandemic187 -> nameservers is essential to your enjoyment of the internet | 05:22 |
| blaq | n8tuser, you're not helping | 05:22 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | next question, how to update the mozilla firefox? | 05:22 |
| blaq | nameservers wont make anything slow | 05:22 |
| n8tuser | Pandemic187 -> kindly google for that word, nameserver and get some explanation | 05:22 |
| blaq | it will either make dns resolve or not | 05:22 |
| Pandemic187 | Alright then | 05:22 |
| n8tuser | blaq -> speak for yourself, you dont understand if nameservers are down how can you resolve? | 05:22 |
| ravenor_ | new_to_ubuntu-, should be automatic. If you mean from 2 to 3... | 05:22 |
| nightrid3r | new_to_ubuntu-: synaptic | 05:22 |
| blaq | that would make it not work altogether, not slow it down | 05:23 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | i mean from 3.03 which i currently have, to 3.05 from firefox website | 05:23 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | nightrid3r: what's synaptic? :) | 05:23 |
| n8tuser | blaq sure it will, if the 1st one is dead, and has to wait to resolve, before it uses the second one..get it? | 05:23 |
| blaq | somehow he's connected to irc.freenode.net and i doubt he knew the ip address for freenode off the top of his head | 05:23 |
| Mimi | cattlesnake, sorry if someone has already mentioned this, but, is this a fresh install of ubuntu? If so, have you checked for restricted drivers? System ->Administration->Hardware Drivers | 05:23 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | is the sudo method called synaptic ? | 05:23 |
| cattlesnake | This is a fresh install, yes. | 05:24 |

| cattlesnake | An hour fresh. | 05:24 |
| nightrid3r | new_to_ubuntu-: system --> management --> synaptic , a software management tool | 05:24 |
| nightrid3r | new_to_ubuntu-: firefox 3.0.5 is in there | 05:24 |
| grinn | sloopy: it say "ln: creating symbolic link `/home/grinn/My Dcouments': File exists" but i don't see anything | 05:24 |
| blaq | n8tuser, nameservers are listed as ip addresses. It's kinda hard to resolve a nameserver if you don't yet know the ip address of the nameserver | 05:24 |
| nightrid3r | !synaptic | new_to_ubuntu- | 05:24 |
| ubottu | new_to_ubuntu-: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 05:24 |
| Pandemic187 | n8tuser: So can you tell me how to check if my nameserver is functioning? | 05:24 |
| cattlesnake | Mimi, ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver is the only one I see. | 05:25 |
| blaq | Pandemic187, it is functioning. I'll guarantee it | 05:25 |
| disappearedng | Any Good Desktop search app to reccomend that allows plugin? | 05:25 |
| kernel | Hey ATI Grapich Card isn't good at linux? | 05:25 |

| blaq | Pandemic187, the basic things that could affect your speeds (apart from general things that slow down your entire computer) are: MTU, NIC drivers, link stability | 05:27 |

| sloopy | grinn, it cant be the target of a link if it exists... | 05:28 |
| blaq | n8tuser, depends on the timeout of the connection, which would be on the order of 1-2 seconds before it realised the nameserver is down and switched to the other | 05:28 |
| mindrape | Pandemic187: if you are sharing a network connection w a roommate and his is fast and yours is slow I doubt DNS has anything to do w it. | 05:28 |
| grinn | sloopy: i'm trying to make a shortcut on my desktop to a folder that is on the windows partition of my hard drive without having to copy over the files | 05:28 |

| cattlesnake | mindrape, I have a Gateway m-1617 laptop and am unable to connect to a Linksys Router. | 05:34 |
| n8tuser | mindrape -> he does not have long enuff cat5 .. am going to stop teasing now..hehe | 05:34 |
| mindrape | cattlesnake - wired or wireless? | 05:34 |
| mindrape | maybe we should resurrect the long cat meme for him to connect, n8tuser? | 05:35 |
| cattlesnake | mindrape - the router is attached to a desktop computer which has a cable modem. | 05:35 |
| kernel | cattlesnake // ifconfig | 05:35 |
| sloopy | grinn, and? | 05:35 |
| quiksilver | if im using ubuntu it doesnt matter if i buy mac or pc right? | 05:35 |
| mindrape | cable modem -> router -> other comp or cable modem -> other comp -> router on 2nd nic? | 05:35 |
| cattlesnake | kernel -- what must you know? | 05:36 |
| sloopy | quiksilver, nope doesnt... | 05:36 |
| cattlesnake | mindrape - the first. | 05:36 |
| mindrape | k. :) | 05:36 |
| mindrape | cattlesnake - and you want to connect via ethernet? | 05:36 |
| quiksilver | does linux utilize really powerful systems though> | 05:36 |
| cattlesnake | mindrape - no, I want to connect using my laptop via wireless. | 05:36 |
| nightrid3r | cattlesnake: if we ever figure out what wifi card you have ..... | 05:36 |
| mindrape | cattlesnake - okay. sudo lshw -C network what kind of card and what driver is it using? | 05:36 |
| n8tuser | quiksilver -> powerful enuff, you have anything in mind that you want to compute intensively? | 05:37 |
| quiksilver | some 3d rendering possibly | 05:37 |
| quiksilver | im just wondering if its a waste to get the new corei7 | 05:37 |
| quiksilver | i really plan on sticking with linux | 05:37 |
| cattlesnake | mindrape - I don't see a wireless network on here. | 05:37 |
| mindrape | cattlesnake: sudo iwconfig | 05:38 |
| n8tuser | quiksilver -> then you need a powerful 3-d capable video card, and hopefully has the drivers supported in ubuntu | 05:38 |
| mindrape | does it say no wireless extentions? | 05:38 |
| nightrid3r | n8tuser: 4 quadcore opterons and 32GB ram is enough to irc according to a mate :) | 05:38 |
| cattlesnake | It does not. | 05:38 |
| mindrape | cattlesnake: on lshw you may have to scroll up through the output... (shift + pgup) | 05:38 |
| mindrape | it does not? so you see something that lists an Access point and ESSID? | 05:38 |
| quiksilver | who makes the best pc's? | 05:39 |
| gaintsura | I do | 05:39 |
| n8tuser | nightrid3r -> thats just still in my dreams, even though i saw on craigslist a dual opteron 275 1 unit rack mount for 125 bux, my mouth was watering | 05:39 |
| gaintsura | =P | 05:39 |
| sloopy | quiksilver, apple | 05:39 |
| mindrape | quiksilver: best is opinion based... even so, best based on what criteria? | 05:39 |
| cattlesnake | mindrape - I don't see those either. | 05:39 |
| mindrape | cattlesnake: how about you copy and paste the output to www.pastebin.com so we can see. | 05:39 |
| duhh_ | brand newbie here | 05:39 |
| cattlesnake | mindrape - I can't because this laptop is not connected to the internet, I am on the desktop. | 05:40 |
| mindrape | cattlesnake - to make this move smoothly how about you pastebin the following output. sudo lshw -C network sudo iwconfig sudo ifconfig sudo lspci | 05:40 |

| nightrid3r | cattlesnake: thats why we talked about the cable as a temp solution to solve your problem | 05:41 |
| n8tuser | cattlesnake -> you dont like my 1st suggestion of using a cat 5 cable to just try it out first eh? make sure everything is okay, then switch to wireless after? | 05:41 |
| ravenor_ | Matr|x, around here, you just have to ask it. | 05:41 |

| Matr|x | thx | 05:41 |
| FelixZ | Hi, a rookie question: which option of dpkg allows me to ignore any possible dependencies during install like what 'rpm -i -nodeps' does? It seems --ignore-depends require the name of a known package. | 05:41 |

| hacknperl | I am looking for a software suite(preferable web based so i can access from my truck anywhere on a laptop) that is pretty simple for small businesses... it needs to do invoicing(main thing) and service call scheduling(bonus) and manage customers and estimates.

| cattlesnake | Back shortly. | 05:41 |
| vigo | I am going to lie down, prolly sleep also,,,thank you kindly for all the assistance and help,,,,, | 05:42 |

| eseven73 | transporter: basKet also comes to mind... | 05:45 |
| PUNISHER | Matr|x: okay, let's try to fix it | 05:45 |
| FelixZ | nightrid3r: I'm developing a software suit that in some case requires to install multiple versions of it. | 05:45 |
| eseven73 | BasKet is a OneNote clone kinda sorta... | 05:45 |
| Ahadiel | ravenor_, Shouldn't be any. | 05:45 |
| ravenor_ | Ahadiel, What you're saying is that... aside from resetting everything graphical, its... automatic? | 05:46 |
| transporter | eseven73 i have basket | 05:46 |
| FelixZ | nightrid3r: From what I can find only the rpm based way is provided. | 05:46 |
| eseven73 | transporter: personally I use Emacs for Journal stuff, with the org-mode | 05:46 |
| transporter | eseven73: i don't want anything like basket | 05:46 |
| Ahadiel | ravenor_, Before remove gnome, you might want to try out xfce first. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 05:47 |
| Ahadiel | ravenor_, Then select "xfce" under "Sessions" at the login screen. | 05:47 |
| eseven73 | hmm transporter try searching apt for 'journal' or 'diary' see what pops up :) | 05:47 |
| FelixZ | nightrid3r: ...so I'm just curious there's a counterpart to rpm --nodeps in dpkg. | 05:47 |
| nightrid3r | FelixZ: i have no idea | 05:47 |
| cattlesnake | mindrape -- I just ran hardware testing, this is what it says: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 2a08 (rev 03) .... and then .... Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. TTL8101E/RTL8102E .... and then... PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 01) .... are any of these the aforementioned card? | 05:47 |
| ravenor_ | Ahadiel, Hmm. So both desktops are intsalled at once... and I could switch between the two whenver? | 05:48 |

| FelixZ | nightrid3r: Thank your for asking anyway, I'll keep exploring. :) | 05:48 |

| xubuser | guys I use mke2fs on usb stick. but then mounting is requires sudo. | 05:53 |

| Brack10 | quiksilver: Oh ok you're good to go then | 06:48 |
| Brack10 | quiksilver: you should stick with Ubuntu, Windows blows | 06:48 |
| jigp | albuntu : yeah extract | 06:48 |
| quiksilver | yes it does. | 06:48 |
| kinja-sheep | nickrud: Lol. Heh. Time changes. :) | 06:49 |
| Brack10 | *this opinion does not necessarily reflect those of canoical inc* | 06:49 |
| Brack10 | or however you spell it | 06:49 |
| nickrud | kinja-sheep, so you could do ssh kinja@other-computer , if it's ip is identified in that file, as yours is. | 06:49 |
| albuntu | jigp: sudo ./nameofthefile.bin | 06:49 |
| kinja-sheep | cilabs: Thanks. Will take a look. This will only work on the computer with said "dns-related" packages installed? | 06:49 |
| __deuce__ | what steps do I need to install a driver patch? | 06:49 |
| bruenig | __deuce__: what do you mean by driver patch | 06:50 |
| cilabs | kinja-sheep: no. it'll work with all the sys's on the network who are identified to the server | 06:50 |
| kinja-sheep | nickrud: Or I could stick with what I usually do -- Create an alias. :) | 06:50 |
| Mimi | Hiiiii...anyone know of dock like AWN, but I can put on the left (or right?) of the screen? Besides Cario (ew ew ew) | 06:50 |
| nickrud | kinja-sheep, yep. But then, you can reference that machine by name for any purpose. http://other-computer, for example. | 06:50 |
| __deuce__ | i have a patch that will allow wifi injections, needs installed and am having probs | 06:50 |
| kinja-sheep | cilabs: Thanks. I get the idea (server). I'll bookmark it. I think it's what I'm looking for. ;) | 06:50 |
| nickrud | kinja-sheep, but it's only an option, one of many | 06:50 |
| __deuce__ | i keep getting "patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input" | 06:51 |
| bruenig | __deuce__: what is this supposed to be patching | 06:51 |
| bruenig | a kernel module? | 06:51 |
| cilabs | kinja-sheep: yes, nickrud's right. its a fairly detailed process, and there are other ways around it. the server option's the one i know when the netowrk is farily large and moves/adds/changes need to be tracked in a central place | 06:52 |
| __deuce__ | driver for my wireless card | 06:52 |
| === sleepy_cat is now known as linux_freak | ||
| bruenig | __deuce__: link to the driver | 06:52 |
| bruenig | or pastebin it | 06:52 |
| kinja-sheep | nickrud + cilabs: I'm in progress of installing 8.04 on my home machines. I think it's more benefits for me in the long run. And I wouldn't want to face some weird bugs eventually. I like the simple thing. Connect regardless of what ip it is... DNS thing.<_< | 06:53 |
| bruenig | __deuce__: I mean link to the patch | 06:53 |
| bruenig | patches patch files | 06:53 |
| __deuce__ | bruenig: http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=2898.0 | 06:53 |
| jigp | albuntu : but its in the documents.how to go there? | 06:54 |
| nickrud | kinja-sheep, you still have to maintain the list. One place is convenient, but it's also easy to mess up. Something worth learning, though | 06:54 |
| SkytracK | anybody installed ubunta on a Asus eee box never used linux before so dont want to much hassle in setting it up advice needed thanks | 06:54 |
| __deuce__ | bruenig: that is the driver, now that i reread it | 06:54 |
| nickrud | SkytracK, if someone's there, #ubuntu-eeepc is the place for advice | 06:55 |
| SkytracK | ok thanks | 06:55 |
| bruenig | __deuce__: yeah so you need to download the source of the iwl driver, patch it with whatever file you got, then compile it as a module | 06:56 |
| __deuce__ | bruenig: http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/ sorry about the last link, this is the direct one | 06:56 |
| __deuce__ | how do i compile it? | 06:56 |
| albuntu | jigp: the bin file its an executable file and can not be extracted. you can execute it with this command : sudo ./home/snake/jigp/Documents/nameofthefile.bin if the name of your home folder is jigp | 06:56 |
| unomi | is there a way to restore my system to a previous state? | 06:56 |
| bruenig | oh it is all put together, the patched driver there? | 06:56 |
| bruenig | !compiling | 06:56 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 06:56 |
| unomi | can i see which updates have been applied chronologically? | 06:56 |
| nickrud | unomi, grep installed /var/log/dpkg.log , and zgrep installed /var/log/dpkg.log.*.gz | 06:58 |
| bruenig | you can't restore it to a previous state unless you have backups obviously, you can restore the packages you have installed to a previous state by simply removing the ones you have installed since that time and readding the ones you have deleted | 06:58 |
| bruenig | read the logs and have fun | 06:58 |
| ChrisGibbs | unomi: depends on how far back as well. Try /var/log/apt/ as well | 06:58 |
| bruenig | this is not the same as restoring the system though because you may have changed configurations, etc. | 06:58 |
| nickrud | unomi, as you can gather, ubuntu doesn't use 'restore points' | 06:58 |
| jigp | albutu :jigp@jigp:~$ /home/jigp/MichaelLearnsToRock 2008 CD(cd)/MichaelLearnsToRock 2008 CD(cd).bin | 06:59 |
| jigp | bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' | 06:59 |
| unomi | i think i might have installed something that was able to mess up my system | 06:59 |
| keppi | why would "force create mode" not work in samba? | 06:59 |
| bruenig | unomi: that is unlikely | 06:59 |
| nickrud | jigp, put the file name in quotes, because of the spaces | 06:59 |
| unomi | bruening then perhaps you can help me find out what is going on. | 06:59 |
| bruenig | unomi: describe | 06:59 |
| nickrud | jigp, and the parenthesis | 06:59 |
| jigp | nickrud : how? | 06:59 |
| unomi | net and HAL dont seem to start anymore | 06:59 |
| bruenig | unomi: by net you mean the networkmanager daemon? | 07:00 |
| unomi | i had to replug my keyboard and mouse after boot, had to run ifconfig and dhclient to get net | 07:00 |
| unomi | i mean networking capabilities | 07:00 |
| nickrud | jigp, like bash "/home/jpig/Mi --- .bin" | 07:00 |
| keppi | noone knows samba in here? | 07:00 |
| bruenig | unomi: you obviously had network capabilities as you were able to use ifconfig and dhclient, any thing you are calling "network capabilities" are just front ends for those things anyhow | 07:01 |
| === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat | ||
| bruenig | unomi: so what front end is it that you are without | 07:01 |
| nickrud | jigp, if that fails, by some odd chance, place a \ before each space and parenthesis, like 2000\ 2008\ \(cd\).bin | 07:01 |
| __deuce__ | thanks for the help bruenig | 07:01 |
| unomi | ifconfig showed only loopback | 07:01 |
| unomi | i had to bring eth0 up by hand | 07:02 |
| unomi | http://rafb.net/p/MQv5rP71.html | 07:02 |
| nickrud | keppi, seems like the samba people are absent; ask every 10 min or so and one will drop in soon, I'd guess | 07:02 |
| unomi | my dmesg | 07:02 |
| keppi | thanks nickrud | 07:02 |
| bruenig | unomi: so your problem is that eth0 wasn't brought up? or is there something more? | 07:02 |

| unomi | http://rafb.net/p/P0GXQE59.html | 07:04 |
| bruenig | jigp: the . refers to the current directory you are in, so let us say you are in /home/jigp and run that command, what you are actually running is /home/jigp/home/jipg/MichaelLearns..." and so on | 07:04 |
| jigp | bruenig : command not found | 07:04 |
| nickrud | jigp, I didn't have a . in there :) in this context, the "." means current directory. Since there is no directory below / .... | 07:04 |
| unomi | also, up arrow fires 'screen shot' | 07:04 |
| SkytracK | nickrud guess i will have to go ahead with the install on my Asus eee box see what happens noone answering me in that channel may have to wait a little longer | 07:05 |

| albuntu | jigp: have you checked if the file is executable ? try checking with right clicking the file , going to properties and in permissions make this file executable | 07:07 |
| bruenig | albuntu: even if it weren't executable he wouldn't be getting command not found errors however | 07:07 |
| bruenig | that is what I thought at first | 07:07 |
| bruenig | he would just get permissions errors | 07:07 |
| ldm | i am ldm | 07:08 |

| paul68 | miranda_psi: I guess so since its a http proxy here at work | 07:27 |
| tsai0 | Slart: , rww: did you get flash working without a lot of reworking. I had Debian 64bit installed before and flash was my biggest issue like a year and a half ago. | 07:27 |
| transporter_ | rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/107241/ | 07:27 |
| Slart | tsai0: yes | 07:27 |
| Greencoat1982 | yes, and I can't figure it out, trust me this is always the last place I look for help | 07:27 |
| rww | tsai0: Flash worked fine for me. Just had to sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 07:27 |
| chalcedony | I've forgotten KDE setting up, been so long ... where do you change the colour and outline of the desktop text under the icons? there is a foreground and background, normally white on black | 07:27 |
| miranda_psi | paul68: try looking at foxy proxy - it will at least make life easier | 07:28 |
| Greencoat1982 | I had intrepid on my desktop but wanted to try the 64 bit version of vista | 07:28 |
| Dexi | hey rww do you know anything about eggdrop? | 07:28 |
| === Dexi is now known as Guest83387 | ||
| Slart | Greencoat1982: hmm.. then I can't really help you further, sorry | 07:28 |
| rww | transporter_: Okay. What happens when you do "cairo-clock -t simple" (for example)? | 07:28 |
| Greencoat1982 | I had it set up nicely before so that I could just network into the desktop and watch my content, | 07:28 |
| Slart | Greencoat1982: although I can tell you that samba is the way to go, afaik | 07:28 |
| rww | Guest83387: I know what it is, yes. | 07:29 |
| transporter_ | rww: should i copy paste that? | 07:29 |
| Greencoat1982 | is there a samba channel? | 07:29 |
| Guest83387 | er | 07:29 |
| paul68 | miranda_psi: now I have to go to system prefs and network proxy to adapt these manually | 07:29 |
| rww | transporter_: type cairo-clock -t simple in a terminal, yes | 07:29 |
| Guest83387 | dammit how did i end up as a guest | 07:29 |
| keppi | Greencoat1982: yes | 07:29 |
| Slart | Greencoat1982: not sure.. ##samba or #samba perhaps | 07:29 |
| jigp | albuntu : ok what application to choose?I tried k3b but no luck | 07:29 |
| tsai0 | rww: , Slart: Thanks, that anwers my question.. Hmm? I wonder if I create a new partition, can I somehow migrate the home folder from the 32bit partition? | 07:29 |
| === Guest83387 is now known as Dexi | ||
| rww | Guest83387: I assume you didn't identify with nickserv | 07:29 |
| Talia | Here's a question for anyone!!! | 07:29 |
| rww | Dexi: see above | 07:29 |
| Dexi | haha rww yeah that was it | 07:29 |
| Slart | tsai0: yes, you can just copy the files to a new partition.. make sure to not overwrite that new partition with something else though | 07:30 |
| rww | tsai0: You can just move the files across after setup, yeah. Or do something like !separatehome | 07:30 |
| transporter_ | rww i can see the clock | 07:30 |
| albuntu | jigp: i dont know an aplication. it should execute normally with the commands i gave you before | 07:30 |
| rww | !separatehome | tsai0 | 07:30 |
| ubottu | tsai0: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 07:30 |
| Dexi | rww: when i run it with -n it runs fine, but without -n it wont connect to the server and i cant telnet in | 07:30 |
| rww | transporter_: Okay, so it works if you specify a theme with -t? | 07:30 |
| nite_johnboy | tsai0; It was really easy - just booted to a live Ubuntu CD and went to System/Administration/Create a USB startup disk - I was trying to do this with a 8gb USB and it would not work - picked up 16gb today and everything installed wonderful - that's what I'm running from right now. | 07:30 |
| keppi | why when an osx client writes to a samba share, it ignores "force create mode" | 07:30 |
| jigp | albuntu : its not .cue right? | 07:30 |
| jigp | albuntu : I've seen .cue here | 07:31 |
| mountx | anyone know of a good guide to fixing compiz causing video flashing on 8.10 | 07:31 |
| transporter_ | rww: looks like it yeah | 07:31 |
| Talia | When I bought my computer, the hard drive was already partitioned between C: and D: I then installed ubuntu on d:, and C:, which had windows corrupted. Is there anyway to retrieve that partition using ubuntu? | 07:31 |
| tsai0 | ubottu: , nite_johnboy: i will have to try this. thanks all | 07:31 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:31 |
| transporter_ | rww: now what? | 07:31 |
| useruseruseruser | tsai0: bye bye | 07:31 |
| rww | transporter_: Okay. Well, either pick a theme and run it with a -t switch, or figure out which part of your cairo-clock or cairo configuration is broken. | 07:31 |
| miranda_psi | paul68: do you actually use anything other than firefox at work? if not then give foxy proxy a go - don't know anything for system wide... | 07:31 |
| rww | transporter_: I don't use cairo much, so I'm not sure how to help you diagnose that. | 07:32 |
| androidfx | how can i install JavaSE6 Update 11 in ubuntu, i download the linux package, but where is supposed to be, at the root directory, at the usr, ?? | 07:32 |

| rdw200169 | paul68: hey, you too | 07:33 |
| rww | transporter_: Did you run something cairo-related with administrative privilages? it might have made some part of your user-specific cairo configuration owned by root. | 07:33 |
| rdw200169 | paul68: how's the firewall going? | 07:33 |
| paul68 | rdw200169: working like a charm thanks to your help just having a puzzle at this point with the proxy server at work | 07:34 |

| mountx | hey ... anyone know of a fix for getting compiz to stop skipping video ... switching to metacity works but was hoping for a compiz fix ... video is ATI card | 07:34 |
| Greencoat1982 | rdw200169 that only seems to be for previous distros | 07:34 |
| phpmonk | xxCody: wxWidgets | 07:34 |
| rzz8509 | purple monkey dish-water | 07:34 |
| rdw200169 | Greencoat1982: have you tried the fix from the last post? | 07:34 |
| ik_ | hallo everyone | 07:35 |
| rww | transporter_: Okay, then I doubt it's a permissions thing. As I said, something in your cairo configuration in your home foder is probably broken, and running as root is using root's cairo configuration, hence it working. I doubt it's a permissions issue, or many more people would be having it. | 07:35 |
| rdw200169 | mountx: i had the same problem for a while with Nvidia, then I upgraded to the latest drivers then it went away | 07:35 |
| useruseruseruser | ik_: hi hi hi | 07:35 |
| transporter_ | rww: i tried uninstalling reinstalling it did not work | 07:35 |
| rdw200169 | mountx: i also had that problem when i used compiz on multiple displays, now I don't do that... | 07:35 |
| xxCody | Thats coding. very good answer though lol. | 07:35 |
| ik_ | anyone who can help me with floola? | 07:35 |
| mountx | rdw: does envy install the latest drivers? | 07:35 |
| miranda_psi | paul68: for firefox you could use foxy proxy, and use say pidgin at home and empathy at work (not ideal, but a workaround...) | 07:35 |
| rww | transporter_: uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't remove the cairo configuration stuff in your home folder. | 07:35 |
| xxCody | Is there another app for have a menu? | 07:36 |
| rdw200169 | paul68: proxy servers are a *pain* | 07:36 |
| transporter_ | rww: what do i do? | 07:36 |
| rdw200169 | paul68: you never know what kind of filtering they're doing... | 07:36 |
| Greencoat1982 | rdw200169 it just said no application is set to handle | 07:36 |
| rww | mountx: As far as I know, there's no fix for that, unfortunately. The fglrx driver has problems with compiz+video and compiz+gaming, and the usual solution is to temporarily disable compiz while watching videos or gaming. | 07:36 |
| transporter_ | rww: please think of something (brb) | 07:36 |
| rdw200169 | Greencoat1982: i don't know, that's the best I found... personally I avoid Samba and Windows file sharing at all costs, it's just a pain, even on windows! | 07:37 |
| rdw200169 | Greencoat1982: did you know that Vista can't even file share with XP??? | 07:37 |
| rww | transporter_: figure out which part of your cairo configuration is broken. heck, delete the cairo settings in your home folder if that isn't too inconvenient. As I've said already, I don't use cairo, and I /can't/ use it right now, so I can't diagnose it further. | 07:37 |
| Greencoat1982 | I know but what other option do I have for accessing the files on my vista box | 07:37 |
| mountx | ok ... that's what i've been doing ... tried several 'fixes' w/ no results | 07:37 |
| paul68 | rdw200169: well the thing is that I want to be able to connect automaticly to the proxy at work and automaticly connect to the homenetwork without proxy when I am at home | 07:37 |
| ik_ | no-one who know how to use floola on ubuntu 8.10? | 07:38 |
| rdw200169 | paul68: from the same linux box? | 07:38 |
| Greencoat1982 | yeah, MS is alround crap, but I wanted to try some games on vista | 07:38 |
| Greencoat1982 | just haven't reinstalled the dual boot yet | 07:38 |
| rdw200169 | Greencoat1982: so you're just trying to access files in there? | 07:38 |
| mountx | why dual boot ... just virtualbox it | 07:38 |
| Greencoat1982 | yes | 07:38 |
| transporter_ | rww: i don't have a problem with anything i can alwayz reinstall it so i pretty much think i get my settings back if i wanted to right | 07:38 |
| paul68 | rdw200169: with the same laptop yes now I have to go to system prefs network proxy to adapt the settings and I am to lazy lol to do this each time | 07:38 |
| rww | mountx: virtualbox and games don't work well together =/ | 07:39 |
| Greencoat1982 | because the virtual box wasn't running very good | 07:39 |

| ik_ | floola? | 07:40 |
| rdw200169 | jigp: you can mount the iso, mount -o loop src.iso /mountpoint | 07:40 |
| rww | Dexi: Hrm, that's weird. Not sure how to help, unfortunately :/ | 07:40 |
| Greencoat1982 | spore no, thats why I went to vista to play it | 07:40 |

| paul68 | rdw200169: since my laptop can connect to both wifi networks without any manual input I was wondering if I could achieve the same with the proxy connection | 07:40 |
| Greencoat1982 | sims I don't know, but doubt it | 07:40 |
| rww | mountx: Nope, neither of them work well at all on Wine. | 07:41 |
| rdw200169 | paul68: reluctantly, i don't think there's a solution for that yet, until NetworkManager comes out with Proxy support per-connection | 07:41 |
| Dexi | rww: its ok | 07:41 |
| ik_ | help for floola | 07:41 |
| ik_ | plz | 07:41 |

| rdw200169 | paul68: then again, i can't remember which file gnome-network-preferences changes to set the proxy, i believe it's in gconf somewhere | 07:44 |

| paul68 | rdw200169: it is indead I saw it in the gconf as http-proxy but no direct indictation that is adapted in the network connections part | 07:46 |
| rdw200169 | jigp: then use that direcotry | 07:46 |
| paul68 | rdw200169: *indeed | 07:46 |
| rdw200169 | paul68: i've had mine as a proxy before, so it has the IP address in there as the setting | 07:46 |
| Greencoat1982 | rdw200169 would it matter if I don't have a password for my vista user account? | 07:47 |
| rdw200169 | paul68: this is in .gconf/system/http_proxy/%gconf.xm. | 07:47 |
| rdw200169 | Greencoat1982: i have not idea :( | 07:47 |
| SingAlong | anybody? | 07:47 |
| paul68 | rdw200169: ok I will have to snoop around a bit thanks for your help and talk to you soon, getting busy here at work | 07:48 |
| rdw200169 | paul68: so, i'm assuming that if you change the entry with "use_http_proxy" to value="true" it would turn on the proxy | 07:48 |
| paul68 | rdw200169: seems logic | 07:48 |

| paul68 | rdw200169: ok | 07:51 |

| mountx | Recnx - cheese is a good general one | 07:52 |
| rdw200169 | paul68: ok, here's an example of screwing around with gconf in python http://paste.ubuntu.com/107248/ | 07:52 |

| mountx | do you have a firewall? | 08:02 |
| chaqui | I just want to tunnel so I can vnc | 08:02 |
| doseryder | Is it just me or is the system requirement for the last two releases require more (better, faster, newer) hardware | 08:02 |
| chaqui | no firewall | 08:02 |
| mountx | doseryder ... that's cpu's for you | 08:02 |
| Kartagis | hello | 08:02 |
| Kartagis | how to reinstall the package after applying a patch? dpkg-reconfigure? | 08:03 |
| chaqui | doseryder the last two ubuntu releases have included compiz as there windows manager. | 08:03 |
| doseryder | mountx: yea.. I'm using p4 3.2 (mildly oc'd to 3.36) with a fairly recent video card (tho its a ATI (Oh No)) and 2 gigs of high quality ram (dual chan) | 08:04 |
| mountx | chaqui so your trying to ssh to another cpu ... your localaddress for that cpu should work if your on the same router | 08:04 |
| doseryder | My first ever ubuntu release was 6.10 (Can't remember what the code name was) and it was kinda smooth | 08:05 |
| mountx | I remember the 5.0x days ... bad times .. but worked well as a server | 08:05 |
| ardchoille | doseryder: Edgy? | 08:05 |
| mountx | now I got my whole family on ubuntu(mint at least) | 08:05 |
| chaqui | mountx: and it does, now what I want to do is do it from my parents house, or wheveer else I may find the internet. | 08:05 |
| doseryder | I think so, if feisty is the subsequent release | 08:06 |
| chaqui | mountx: so would that be like "ssh user@gatewayip? | 08:06 |
| doseryder | s/is/was/ | 08:06 |
| chaqui | " | 08:06 |
| mountx | you need to fwd a port to the computer you want to ssh into ... i.e. forward port 22 to 192.168.x.x port 22 | 08:06 |
| mountx | then you will ssh to your outside IP | 08:07 |
| chaqui | oh wow, now port forwarding makes so much sense to me | 08:07 |
| chaqui | since port 22 is the defualt port for openssh I won't even need to distinguish it right? | 08:08 |
| doseryder | You might wanna fix (associate) an Local IP to the host running ssh-server too | 08:09 |
| PC_Nerd | Hi, how can I install localeconf for 8.04 - I understand its no longer in the repositories but how do you install it? | 08:09 |

| mountx | but I would suggest disabling root logins via ssh | 08:10 |
| jxander | is there a dock that won't need compositing? | 08:11 |
| chaqui | do I do that through services? | 08:11 |

| mountx | you might be able to ... check out /etc/ssh/sshd_conf | 08:12 |
| WalterMundt | question: I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, any recommendations for getting an "Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x" wifi chip working? It worked out of box on Fedora 10 so I know the support is out there | 08:12 |
| mountx | I don't have a printer .. cups disabled for me ;} | 08:12 |
| alexandroos | hello I'm going to install kubuntu 8.04 lts from the internet with the minimal cd, does it come with kde 4.1.4? | 08:12 |
| unomi | ok silly question maybe; should '/etc/network/interfaces' list eth0 ? | 08:12 |
| Kartagis | how to reinstall the package after applying a patch? dpkg-reconfigure? | 08:13 |
| DwightShroot | whats the command to navigate...ch? /home.... | 08:15 |
| alexandroos | DwightShroot, cd /home | 08:15 |
| mountx | cd ~/ <tab> | 08:15 |
| DwightShroot | thanks | 08:15 |
| PC_Nerd | Any ideas on getting localeconf installed? Its not in repositories? | 08:15 |
| doseryder | mountx: since you're on the topic of ssh with the other dude, I can't remember what/where file contains the "banner" (i.e. the message banner, when the client FIRST login) | 08:16 |
| mountx | lemme check | 08:16 |
| doseryder | you know what I'm talking about tho right? | 08:16 |
| unomi | how weird is this?! : my /etc/network/interfaces | 08:16 |
| unomi | auto lo | 08:16 |
| unomi | iface lo inet loopback | 08:16 |
| unomi | the end | 08:16 |
| mountx | cd /etc/ | 08:16 |
| mountx | woops ... wrong window | 08:17 |
| doseryder | this aint no terminal-emulator :p | 08:17 |
| alexandroos | hello I'm going to install kubuntu 8.04 lts from the internet with the minimal cd, does it come with kde 4.1.4? | 08:18 |
| unomi | mountx: while you are there, can you tell me whats in your /etc/network/interfaces file? | 08:18 |
| alexandroos | ops sorry for repeating | 08:18 |
| mountx | i can tell you that auto lo | 08:18 |
| rww | doseryder: that banner thing is at /etc/motd; location is configurable in sshd configuration. | 08:18 |
| mountx | iface lo inet loopback | 08:19 |
| unomi | weird, no mention of eth0 ? | 08:19 |
| mountx | nope .. never seen that on a lin install .. maybe just me though | 08:19 |
| unomi | alexandroos: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/8.04-release | 08:19 |
| doseryder | aight cool. I totally forgot. | 08:19 |
| rww | alexandroos: Kubuntu Hardy comes with KDE 3.something, if I remember correctly. Intrepid has 4.1 | 08:20 |
| rebel_kid | i remember a program to enable the mouse in cli (to facilitate easy copying/pasting of text) i cant find the package name, can anyone point me to it | 08:20 |
| rww | unomi, mountx: /etc/network/interfaces only has lo in it by default, because NetworkManager deals with eth0 and other interfaces. You can add eth0 if you want it to be managed by ifup/ifdown | 08:20 |
| unomi | rww well networkmanager has stopped working for some reason | 08:21 |
| mountx | i don't use networkmanager | 08:21 |
| mountx | does that make a diff? | 08:21 |
| rww | unomi: feel free to add an eth0 stanza if you want. The configuration format is in "man interfaces" | 08:21 |
| unomi | alexandroos: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/8.10-release it has 4.1.2 | 08:21 |
| unomi | its weird its just stopped working though | 08:22 |
| Flannel | alexandroos: 8.04 isn't LTS for Kubuntu either. So you're not losing much by going with 8.10 | 08:22 |
| Theaxiom | How do I upgrade to 8.10? | 08:22 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | Theaxiom | 08:22 |
| unomi | makes me worry that more things 'under the hood' are not working as they should | 08:22 |
| ubottu | Theaxiom: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 08:22 |
| selig5 | /timestamps = off | 08:22 |
| doseryder | rww, when you say NetworkManager, are you referring to nm-applet? | 08:22 |
| Theaxiom | thx Flannel | 08:22 |
| alexandroos | thanks unomi and Flannel | 08:22 |
| rww | doseryder: nm-applet is an applet that allows you to control the NetworkManager system | 08:23 |
| alexandroos | I'm off see you later guys ba bye | 08:23 |
| mountx | later | 08:23 |
| arghh2d2 | is network manager any good? | 08:23 |
| doseryder | bye alex | 08:23 |
| Tekno | nm is good | 08:24 |
| Tekno | supports mobile phones also | 08:24 |
| arghh2d2 | Tekno: when did it get better? | 08:24 |
| unomi | (gconf-editor:6034): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: | 08:24 |
| unomi | None of the authentication protocols specified are supported. | 08:24 |
| rww | arghh2d2: It's the default in recent versions of Ubuntu. Some people have problems with it and find other network control methods (like ifup/ifdown, wicd, etc.) better. | 08:24 |
| PC_Nerd | how do you change the locale settings through terminal? | 08:24 |
| arghh2d2 | rww, yeah, count me in as one of those | 08:24 |
| Tekno | arghh2d2: works with 3G networking very good | 08:24 |
| Tekno | wicd doesnt support at all | 08:25 |
| rww | !locale | PC_Nerd | 08:25 |
| ubottu | PC_Nerd: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 08:25 |
| PC_Nerd | ubottu: that uses localeconf which I cannot install... its not in the repo's and I cant find any documentation post dapper. | 08:25 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:25 |
| * doseryder taking notes... | 08:26 | |
| keppi | anyone know samba in here? | 08:26 |
| nguyenlo | 2222 | 08:26 |
| rww | PC_Nerd: I've used http://blog.andrewbeacock.com/2007/01/how-to-change-your-default-locale-on.html before successfully. Try that. | 08:26 |
| DwightShroot | I did an ssh an im inside my iphone and have navigated to the folder i wanted, is there a way i can add files off my desktop to the folder | 08:26 |
| arghh2d2 | PC_Nerd: its a bot isnt it? | 08:26 |
| PC_Nerd | huh? - thanks rww | 08:26 |
| arghh2d2 | DwightShroot: sftp to iphone? | 08:26 |
| rww | PC_Nerd: by the way, Ubottu is a bot. People tell it to send factoids with messages like "!factoid | nickname" | 08:27 |
| keppi | !ubottu | 08:27 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 08:27 |
| unomi | sound has also stopped working i just found | 08:27 |
| DwightShroot | arghh2d2: is that the same as using the gftp program | 08:27 |
| arghh2d2 | DwightShroot: dont think so | 08:28 |
| arghh2d2 | maybe | 08:28 |
| unomi | is there a system wide 'reconfigure' command? | 08:28 |
| DwightShroot | arghh2d2: how do i sftp | 08:28 |
| selig5 | T | 08:28 |
| Theaxiom | I am in trouble, I only have 7.1MB available in /boot and it won't let me upgrade... | 08:29 |
| arghh2d2 | DwightShroot: i sftp to my ssh account go to the folder i want to put things in and just type 'put /path/to/file' | 08:29 |
| Flannel | Theaxiom: Remove some of your old kernels | 08:29 |
| mountx | unomi I had a smart ass comment ... but I'll save it | 08:29 |
| devex | does anybody know why the battery panel in gnome shows a shorter remaining duration than acpi? | 08:29 |
| unomi | seriously considering a reinstall | 08:29 |
| mountx | ... unomi .. don't lose the battle ... this isn't windows | 08:30 |
| mountx | everything can be fixed ... most of the time | 08:30 |
| DwightShroot | arghh2d2: kind of a newb,..... | 08:30 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: can I get rid of everything that is not 2.6.24-23? | 08:30 |
| keppi | ...by a reinstall ;) | 08:30 |
| DwightShroot | :-/ | 08:30 |
| unomi | ok, but how to find out what to fix | 08:30 |
| mountx | what's wrong? | 08:31 |
| unomi | dmesg doesnt really have anything useful | 08:31 |
| rww | devex: One gets information directly from the battery, the other estimates based on recent battery level changes. Unfortunately, I don't remember which is which =/ | 08:31 |
| PC_Nerd | I just noticed that on boot my machine (ubuntu server) says "Cannot set system time to xxxxxxxxxx" Where "xxxxx" is UTC time..... it says it twice. is that a major issue? | 08:31 |
| devex | rww: ah thx :) | 08:31 |
| Flannel | Theaxiom: Do it from your package manager. And remove all of the old linux-image-version stuff (that isn't the current one) | 08:31 |
| arghh2d2 | DwightShroot: sftp the same as you would ssh 'ssh dwightshr@iphone.or.whatever | 08:31 |
| unomi | no sound, no network on boot, usb devices that are connected on startup have to be reconnected to be usable | 08:31 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: thanks so much, you da man! | 08:31 |
| unomi | had a keyboard thing where up arrow fired screenshot | 08:31 |
| mountx | ok lets start w/ no sound | 08:31 |

| unomi | hmm, should that really be SMP? | 08:33 |
| unomi | afaik its a single core with hyperthreading | 08:33 |
| arghh2d2 | smp rules | 08:33 |
| rww | unomi: which processor? | 08:34 |
| arghh2d2 | smp is the next best thing to a realtime kernel isnt it? | 08:34 |
| DwightShroot | arghh2d2: i dont have an sftp account | 08:34 |
| unomi | CPU0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz stepping 04 | 08:35 |

| arghh2d2 | DwightShroot: well sorry, i'm not sure about how to transfer files thru ssh | 08:35 |
| unomi | if i turn on hyperthreading dmesg will tell me its brought on 2 cores (double the bogomips) | 08:35 |
| rww | unomi: I think the P4 is supposed to use SMP. Hyperthreading is helped by it. | 08:35 |
| mountx | scp | 08:35 |
| rww | unomi: I've never actually used one, though, so I'm not sure. | 08:36 |
| mountx | Dwight -- scp | 08:36 |
| mountx | unomi ... run alsamixer in terminal just to make sure | 08:36 |
| alfdavid | how do i make an ubuntu boot cd | 08:37 |

| arch3angel | hey everyone - does anyone know how to get the Atheros AR5007EG AR5BXB63 to work in ubuntu | 08:38 |
| arch3angel | ? | 08:39 |
| DwightShroot | arghh2d2: is there a command to import to a folder in the terminal ex: i want to import i file from /home/music to /home/other | 08:39 |
| arch3angel | has anyone ever messed with this wifi card? | 08:40 |
| mountx | Dwight what do you mean ... copy? | 08:40 |
| mountx | unomi ... still googling around for you | 08:40 |
| DwightShroot | mountx: yeah | 08:40 |
| arghh2d2 | arch3angel: i think madwifi is like ndiswrapper but specifically for the atheros chipset | 08:40 |
| mountx | cp /from/location /to/location | 08:41 |
| Gorlist | Morning | 08:41 |
| arghh2d2 | DwightShroot: i think you need to take the other advice about scp | 08:41 |
| MinusSeven | i have adsl2, and get full speed through my wireless card in my desktop | 08:41 |

| srx2002 | hello all, i'm looking for the best solution to backup an entire hard disk, I have my ubuntu system configured just the way I like it,,,,,however if I ever have a HD failure I would like to be able to use a cd/dvd perhaps to install to the new drive | 08:41 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: Would I be unchecking the linux-headers and the linux-image that are lower than the highest version? | 08:41 |
| Flannel | Theaxiom: linux-image | 08:41 |
| arch3angel | odd thing is 8.10 shows the driver but it fails to work | 08:41 |
| arch3angel | strange | 08:42 |
| WalterMundt | arch3angel: I just had to get my atheros working | 08:42 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: thanks | 08:42 |
| srx2002 | anyone???? | 08:42 |
| arch3angel | how did ya do it | 08:42 |
| MinusSeven | me? | 08:42 |
| rww | !backup | srx2002 | 08:42 |
| arghh2d2 | good for you MinusSeven good for you | 08:42 |
| ubottu | srx2002: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 08:42 |
| arch3angel | WalterMundt: how did you do it | 08:42 |
| rww | srx2002: personally, I'd recommend sbackup | 08:42 |
| WalterMundt | arch3angel: disable the atheros driver in the hardware thingy, install a backports-modules package (not ure of the exact name), reboot | 08:42 |
| rww | !sbackup | srx2002 | 08:42 |
| ubottu | srx2002: sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe | 08:42 |
| MinusSeven | just thought I'd tell everyone | 08:42 |
| mountx | unomi ... have you compiled alsa from source? | 08:42 |
| DwightShroot | arghh2d2: what was scp | 08:42 |
| MinusSeven | I was caught in the trap thinking 54 megabit wireless would be fine | 08:42 |
| WalterMundt | arch3angel: that worked for me; I'm on a Jaunty alpha but the forum post I read suggesting it was for intrepid | 08:42 |
| mountx | secure copy | 08:43 |
| arch3angel | WalterMundt: do you have a link to a tutorial | 08:43 |
| MinusSeven | but have 108 megabit wireless | 08:43 |
| WalterMundt | sec | 08:43 |
| mindwarp_ | Anyone use a Quickcam on Ubuntu? I can't find a good writeup on how to get it working | 08:43 |
| mountx | it's like ftp except thru ssh | 08:43 |
| arch3angel | WalterMundt: thx | 08:43 |
| MinusSeven | hi Yanz | 08:43 |
| srx2002 | sbckup | 08:43 |
| mountx | or you can do an rsync | 08:43 |
| yanz | Hello | 08:43 |
| mountx | I prefer rsync | 08:43 |
| arghh2d2 | srx2002: copy to any other drive, the tricky part is making grub load it | 08:43 |
| WalterMundt | arch3angel: here's here I got it from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1026770 | 08:44 |
| srx2002 | yeah..that's what I mean..I'm not very good at the command line stuff | 08:44 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: Why does it keep the old kernel images? | 08:44 |
| arghh2d2 | damn, i'm way behind, forgot i scrolled up and didnt come back down | 08:44 |
| Gorlist | has anyone here tried install Ubuntu Server on a remote dedicated box? | 08:44 |
| WalterMundt | basically, you need to install linux-backports-modules-[your version] from Synaptic | 08:44 |
| Flannel | Theaxiom: Because at least one known good old one is important to have around, in case of regression (new kernel doesn't work, you can boot to an older one) | 08:44 |
| arch3angel | WalterMundt: thanks | 08:44 |
| srx2002 | I'd just like to insert the dvd/cd press a few buttons, answer a few questions and VOILA!! everything back to the way it was | 08:44 |
| arch3angel | which model card do you have | 08:45 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: ahh yes, smart | 08:45 |
| Gorlist | just trying to find out the options | 08:45 |
| whuffor_ | I have a package question. I am considering compiling a newer version from source of an application than what is installed already from a package. What is the best way to handle that? Should I uninstall the current package before compiling the application from source? | 08:45 |
| srx2002 | I guess I could be asking too much | 08:45 |
| WalterMundt | arch3angel: mine is the AR242x in that thread | 08:45 |
| Flannel | !install | Gorlist | 08:45 |
| ubottu | Gorlist: 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 | 08:45 |
| Flannel | Gorlist: That page (first link) has two(?) methods | 08:45 |
| WalterMundt | arch3angel: yours is different, but since the driver you switch to from that process is called "ath5k" I thought it might help you | 08:45 |
| arghh2d2 | srx2002: its not much, you just need to spend 30 minutes learning about 'grub' | 08:45 |
| arch3angel | Atheros AR5007EG AR5BXB63 <-- thats mine | 08:45 |
| Gorlist | Flannel: will take alook, ta | 08:45 |
| srx2002 | ok | 08:45 |
| arch3angel | i will give it a shoot - anything to get it working :) | 08:46 |
| WalterMundt | arch3angel: good luck! | 08:46 |
| srx2002 | partimage? | 08:46 |
| arch3angel | thanks | 08:46 |
| Slart | whuffor_: I would uninstall the old package first yes.. you might want to look at checkinstall too.. I think it might be useful | 08:46 |
| arch3angel | time to jump off and try to figure this out :) -- thanks again | 08:46 |
| whuffor_ | Slart: Ah yes. I remember vaguely about checkinstall. I will look into it. Thanks for the assist | 08:47 |
| rww | whuffor_: More info on checkinstall at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall | 08:47 |
| whuffor_ | rww: Cool. Thanks again | 08:48 |
| x1250 | is there any guide on howto using the "Remote desktop" feature, so I may assist someone remotely? I know how to configure vino-preferences, but how to connect to the remote desktop ? | 08:48 |
| unomi | mountx, no i havent compiled it from source | 08:48 |
| unomi | everything was working out of the box for weeks untill this morning | 08:49 |
| mountx | what did you change this morning ... reboot anything? | 08:49 |
| unomi | just rebooted | 08:49 |
| unomi | it had been a few days since the last reboot | 08:49 |
| unomi | I also tried the hyperthreading capability, turned it on in bios just to see | 08:50 |
| savvas | x1250: Applications > Internet > Remote Desktop Viewer > Connect | 08:50 |
| unomi | dont know if it is related, it came up with the issues i have now, so i reverted to non-hyperthreading | 08:50 |
| savvas | x1250: you need the host (that is, the IP address of the destination you want to control) | 08:50 |
| Theaxiom | Hey everyone, I have an announcement to make. Flannel is the man, he is extremely helpful and is usually the first person to answer all my questions. Thanks Flannel! | 08:50 |
| mountx | i don't think that has anything to do w/ it ... but I could be wrong ... i have a similar intel card and have had probs w/ it also | 08:51 |
| x1250 | savvas, got it thanks | 08:51 |
| mountx | but some tweaks have got it worked out | 08:51 |
| mountx | do you have pulse audio installed? | 08:51 |
| marenostrum | Hello. Ubuntu 8.10 Turkish locale. I can't reach Software Sources via System > Administration. It doesn't respond. And what's more, I can't change repositories via synaptic. It keeps saying "repositories changed, you have to click on the reload button"; I reload but the result is still the same. Any idea? | 08:51 |
| unomi | yes | 08:51 |
| Owner | guys, i'm putting debian on a nas server and need help with setting up software raid1. SHOULD I MIRROR SWAP or not? everywhere i look, i get different information... | 08:51 |
| Gorlist | Flannel: http://tinyurl.com/3exghs seems to be the easiest (ive debootstrap but not keen) - only concern I will be connected via SSH, so the install has to be somewhat automated along with providing a root username/password and config network | 08:52 |
| * arghh2d2 is waiting for his chance to help Theaxiom, he'll show that smug Flannel who's helpful | 08:52 | |
| chalcedony | in Kubuntu, where do you change the colour and outline of the desktop text under the icons? there is a foreground and background, normally white on black | 08:52 |
| mountx | removing pulse helped my sys... i had a reverberation in the audio forever till it drove me fix it | 08:52 |
| rww | marenostrum: You could change the repositories manually, maybe. The configuration file is /etc/apt/sources.list. After you change it, reload package data with sudo apt-get update. | 08:52 |
| chalcedony | mountx: what did you do? i hate how it sounds | 08:53 |
| jim_p | Owner, i would suggest no, if you can place it on another disk | 08:53 |
| mountx | removed pulse ... It was a last resort ... but it worked | 08:53 |
| mountx | can't promise any results | 08:53 |
| marenostrum | @rww thanks. I'll give it a try | 08:53 |
| chalcedony | mountx: did you put alsa in? | 08:54 |
| Owner | jim_p: i only have the two identical drives that i want to mirror but i need to be sure the system won't crash is one goes bad. | 08:54 |
| mountx | i had both alsa and pulse | 08:54 |
| Theaxiom | Anyone know a good lite program to burn movies to DVD? | 08:54 |
| Owner | jim_p: IF | 08:54 |
| mountx | not sure why .. but removing pulse fixed all my audio probs | 08:54 |
| jim_p | Owner, then mirror the swap | 08:54 |
| kraut | moin | 08:54 |
| jim_p | too | 08:54 |
| Theaxiom | ^ here's your chance arghh2d2 | 08:54 |
| arghh2d2 | Owner are you tying to set up RAID? | 08:54 |
| mountx | before i had to install alsa from source | 08:55 |
| arghh2d2 | bring it! | 08:55 |
| chalcedony | and alsa just took over? my sound card is a pain to configure for alsa.. we gave up i guess | 08:55 |
| mountx | (before 8.10) | 08:55 |
| unomi | Theaxiom: avidemux for encoding | 08:55 |
| chalcedony | oh?!! | 08:55 |
| Owner | arghh2d2: yeah, software raid1 | 08:55 |
| jim_p | chalcedony, what sound card do you have? | 08:55 |
| Gorlist | preseeding! | 08:55 |
| Owner | arghh2d2: during a fresh install | 08:55 |
| chalcedony | jim_p: moment maybe i made notes | 08:55 |
| unomi | Theaxiom: and either brasero or k3b for burning | 08:55 |
| jim_p | chalcedony, lspci | grep Audio | 08:55 |
| arghh2d2 | Owner: sorry i was just curious, i havent got the chance to play with raid yet | 08:55 |

| arch3angel | wonder why it does not see it | 09:31 |
| rww | Eutychus: There are manual partitioning instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html , if that helps. Again, it'd be nice if you'd be more specific. The Ubuntu (and Kubuntu) installer has an option for manual partitioning, and you haven't said whether you need help with it (or specific questions if you do). | 09:31 |

| aeosynth | Guest11697: make sure visual effects are set to normal or extra | 09:53 |

| rww | new_to_ubuntu-: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Swat | 09:53 |
| DwightShroot | rww: whats scp?? | 09:54 |
| PSiL0 | mountx: I mean, both amarok and firefox were running at the same time when the hard freezes occur | 09:54 |
| PSiL0 | hmmm | 09:54 |
| mountx | yeah .. .could be ... I'm a developer and firefox has been known to cause issues | 09:54 |
| rww | DwightShroot: It stands for Secure Copy. It copies files over an ssh connection. | 09:54 |
| Guest11697 | aeosynth, its set to extra my desktop cannot be right clicked or anything, if i reload window manager then i loose panels as well | 09:55 |
| mountx | PSiL0, firefox is 'supposed' to be free from these mem errors though | 09:55 |
| rww | mountx: firefox is supposed to have that fixed. Some Firefox addons, on the other hand, still cause ridiculous memory problems. | 09:55 |

| PSiL0 | hmm | 09:58 |
| lid | why did I end up with a full install of icedtea when I just asked for a java firefox plugin | 09:58 |
| aeosynth | my default profile is wrecked, I'm thinking of just moving all the files into a new profile and starting over with that one. is there an easier way to do this/ can I reset my default profile somehow? | 09:58 |
| lid | was there an easier way to java firefox plugin from a default install | 09:58 |
| * lid is ignored by everyone | 09:58 | |
| jxander | is there a way to switch between xorg.conf files at boot or login in case there is an external lcd panel connected to the laptop or not? | 09:58 |

| quibbler | Milk_Rulz, look here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-source-files-in-ubuntu.html | 10:36 |
| mountx | trying to remember ... it's on my bros computer b/c he was having severe problems w/ wireless ... but he's asleep and I don't have access to it right now | 10:36 |
| Photoguy | For some reason my usb drive is locked, it only allows read. | 10:36 |
| ziroday | !compile | Milk_Rulz | 10:36 |
| ubottu | Milk_Rulz: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 10:36 |
| ziroday | Milk_Rulz: you will probably need to ./configure first | 10:36 |
| mountx | ./configure && make && make install | 10:37 |
| mountx | usually does it | 10:37 |
| bill-nz | Photoguy: make sure that there isn't a switch on the drive that locks it | 10:37 |
| quibbler | Milk_Rulz, or here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo | 10:37 |
| Milk_Rulz | ahhh so many voices | 10:37 |
| Milk_Rulz | :P | 10:37 |
| Milk_Rulz | so | 10:37 |
| Milk_Rulz | first | 10:37 |
| ziroday | mountx: it would be sudo make install and its advised to do it one by one to catch errors | 10:37 |
| FloodBot2 | Milk_Rulz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:37 |
| Milk_Rulz | I'm opening terminal | 10:37 |

| mountx | shouldn't you | 10:37 |
| djyoung4 | need help | 10:38 |
| ziroday | mountx: running as root is not advised. | 10:38 |
| whuffor | ziroday: Thank you. That took care of the dependencie. ./configure works without errors now | 10:38 |
| ziroday | whuffor: great! | 10:38 |

| quibbler | Milk_Rulz, got to go....hope you solve the problem. | 10:39 |
| ziroday | Photoguy: how did you mount it? | 10:39 |
| mountx | ziro is right ... for those that have stomachs and hd's that are not backupable ... you should not run as root | 10:39 |
| Photoguy | I'm didn't, just plugged it in. | 10:39 |
| Photoguy | *I | 10:39 |
| === noeee is now known as teknoesp | ||
| ziroday | mountx: you should never run as root. Recommending it is not a good idea either | 10:40 |
| Guest_708 | Anyone about able to tell a noob how to remake a swapfile? Hibernated ubuntu, and since then i get stuck without a gui, error message being no resume image found etc | 10:40 |
| mountx | i didn't | 10:40 |
| ziroday | Photoguy: okay, try do sudo chmod ugo=rwx /media/<thumbdrivename> | 10:40 |
| mountx | i was pointing out the fact that most people run as root | 10:40 |
| mountx | b/c afterall it is there system | 10:40 |

| djyoung4 | i need help with wireless card | 10:41 |
| Photoguy | ziroday, sorry, how do I find the actual name of the disk? | 10:41 |
| mountx | and everyone they know does | 10:41 |
| bill-nz | can anyone tell me where the monitor is defined in xorg now? I can't find anything in the xorg.conf file, and most of the definitions seem to not be in there anymore | 10:41 |
| Boohbah | mountx: that defeats the purpose of having privilege separation, doesn't it? | 10:41 |
| ziroday | Photoguy: no problem, open up a file manager go to Filesystem and then click /media, look for your disk thats the name | 10:41 |
| mountx | no | 10:41 |
| ziroday | mountx: well everyone I know doesn't. Look I am not going to argue why enabling root is a bad idea. If you want to argue we can in #ubuntu-offtopi | 10:42 |
| Photoguy | Is "2.0 GB Media" a correct name? | 10:42 |
| === Guest_708 is now known as Oni | ||
| mountx | it defeats the purpose of having control over YOUR system | 10:42 |
| ziroday | Photoguy: hmm not really, it should have no spaces in it. Can you pastebin the output of ls -l /media please | 10:42 |
| djyoung4 | help | 10:42 |
| Photoguy | Ok. | 10:43 |
| Photoguy | Hold on | 10:43 |

| ziroday | Photoguy: no problem | 10:43 |

| Myrtti | Oni: man swapon or swapon --help | 10:47 |
| Oni | Myrtti: Ok i'll give that a go =) ty | 10:48 |
| djyoung4 | my hardware is on there but still wont work | 10:48 |
| mountx | megarom ... you probably need to remove pulse and recompile ALSA from source ... usually that fixes it | 10:48 |
| Photoguy | ziroday, it does this: http://pastebin.com/m105d3778 then still is read only. | 10:48 |
| ziroday | tokyoahead: also look at the package synce-sync-engine | 10:48 |
| megarom | mountx: do u got instructions on howto just do that ? | 10:48 |
| mountx | which part | 10:48 |
| megarom | all of the above ;) | 10:48 |
| ziroday | Photoguy: ah right, does the USB drive work on other computers? Can you read it there? | 10:48 |
| Photoguy | I didn't try.. | 10:49 |
| megarom | http://rafb.net/p/jA5lEy19.html | 10:49 |
| megarom | thats the paste mountx | 10:49 |

| Milk_Rulz | mountx! | 10:49 |
| ziroday | Photoguy: does it have a little "lock" mechanism on it? | 10:49 |

| megarom | hmm okey dandy ... --promise added as configuration paramùeter4 | 10:49 |
| Photoguy | ziroday, no lock, works on a Windows pc. | 10:50 |
| mountx | ok ... pulse removal is simple ... sudo apt-get remove pulse | 10:50 |
| Oni | Myrtti: ok I tried man swapon, it did something but I'm not experianced enough to understand what it suggests. An online forum post i found with the same problem said his issue was fixed by "remaking the swap file" | 10:50 |
| ziroday | Photoguy: hmm, well I really don't know then sorry. A simple USB drive should be fine unless it has some strange file system | 10:50 |
| mountx | or if you get an error try apt-get remove pulseaudio | 10:50 |
| ziroday | tokyoahead: oh and multisync! | 10:51 |
| megarom | mountx: --promise as configurated on my kneesReading state information... Klaar | 10:51 |

| rdw200169 | mountx: yeah, i'm hitting 8M on speedtest, freakin' straing | 10:58 |
| rdw200169 | mountx: strange | 10:58 |
| oCean_ | Onide: don't you have a swap partition? swapfiles are useful as alternative, or as additional | 10:58 |
| pihhan | Onide: check if you have free space on disk first, it is most common problem i have seen, try df -h comman | 10:58 |
| mountx | rdw200169, nice | 10:58 |
| rdw200169 | mountx: that, and i don't have incessant timeouts on the ubuntu repos anymore; again, strange | 10:58 |
| Onide | oCean_ I'm not even sure what a swap partition is =( , all i know for certain is that even "startx" wont boot me into GUI | 10:58 |
| tom17bombadil | i can use my scanner only as root | 10:59 |

| Onide | evowill_: ok I'll check that out thank you | 10:59 |
| mountx | how's it sound? | 10:59 |
| oCean_ | Onide: use "swapon -a" to activate all available swap areas and "swapon -l" to list active areas | 10:59 |
| ziroday | Hi, how would I scan for a "persona" in a bunch of files? | 10:59 |
| Onide | oCean_: ok ill try that too, thank you | 10:59 |
| tom17bombadil | i did add my user to the scanner-group like that: sudo usermod -a -G scanner name | 11:00 |

| evowill_ | ziroday, if you are looking for a GUI | 11:01 |
| mountx | im still trying to remember that wireless conf ... but iwconf ... is way better ... like VIM sort of | 11:01 |
| ziroday | evowill_: ah right | 11:01 |
| oCean_ | Onide: to list use "swapon -s" not "swapon -l" | 11:02 |
| mountx | ok ... megarom you've got alsa but it's f... we'll not good ... so you need to recompile | 11:02 |
| megarom | mountx: what can i try after pulseaudio is removed ? | 11:02 |
| megarom | whart are the nessecairy steps ? | 11:02 |
| Photoguy | In drive properties, there are some custom commands, what is a file system command so that I can read/write? | 11:02 |
| rdw200169 | megarom: just switch the sound settings to alsa | 11:02 |
| mountx | your on intrepid right | 11:02 |
| Onide | oCean_: ok i did that, "/dev/sda7 it tells me | 11:02 |
| Gotu | if i use wine which gives functionality and looks of window on linux...then what is the difference using linux over window...can u plz tell me | 11:03 |
| rdw200169 | megarom: b/c alsa was always there | 11:03 |
| mountx | yep alsa is a not so friendly necessary | 11:03 |
| rdw200169 | Gotu: i think you've got wine misunderstood. it doesn't give the 'looks' of windows. it is a tool that runs windows applications in linux. | 11:03 |
| Rencx | why my kino cant capture video from camera? | 11:03 |
| mountx | on some system ... especially intel based HD systems it needs to be compiled | 11:03 |
| oCean_ | Onide: well, so there is a swap partition active. I'm not sure why adding would enable starting X environment | 11:04 |
| Rencx | can anyone help me fix KINO to capture video from video camera? | 11:04 |
| mountx | if you use ubuntu studio. .. it will usually pick up what you have ... but straight ubuntu usually doesn't | 11:04 |
| mountx | bb ... jas | 11:04 |
| bill-nz | Gotu: the question really is why is there is wine. wine exists for people who want the freedom of linux, but need to run a windows-only application | 11:04 |
| Photoguy | I just want to use my USB drive! | 11:04 |
| rdw200169 | Gotu: developers basically integrated all the windows dll files (re-engineered) for the linux kernel backend, among other things. this way, windows apps *think* they're running in windows when in actuality they were always running in linux | 11:04 |
| oCean_ | Onide: only this problem after hybernate? After complete reboot, X does start? | 11:05 |
| mick02 | Photoguy what's the problem? | 11:05 |
| rdw200169 | Gotu: on a side point, the wine devs have worked long and hard to dispel the notion that wine is an 'emulator'. it's not. and, they deserve a whole heck of a lot of credit for what they've accomplished | 11:05 |
| Photoguy | I can't acces my USB drive, it says it's read only.. | 11:05 |

| gaelfx | sheesh, the version on PPA is even older than the one in Ubuntu now | 11:18 |

| zamba | after installing the ubuntu restricted driver for nvidia cards, i can't get a higher resolution than 1024x768.. i thought the restricted driver was supposed to be an improvement over the free driver? | 11:19 |
| mick02 | Onide in the console can you type sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 11:19 |
| bill-nz | zamba - i have same issue | 11:19 |
| zamba | bill-nz: and no solution? | 11:20 |
| bill-nz | nope | 11:20 |
| Slart | zamba: it usually is... are you really sure you're using the binary driver? | 11:20 |
| mountx | night all ... its sleepy time | 11:20 |
| Slart | zamba: run glxgears -info in a terminal.. check the first couple of lines and see what driver it says you're using | 11:20 |
| zamba | Slart: what do you mean? | 11:20 |
| zamba | Slart: ok | 11:20 |
| koopee | I just bumped into a strange "linux plaintext" partition in my hard drive when I was trying to install ubuntu on it. | 11:20 |

| Milk_Rulz | mountx, thanks for all your help, it's working now :) | 11:20 |
| zamba | Slart: http://pastebin.com/m150214bd | 11:21 |
| mountx | cool. .. i'll be back on tomorrow night | 11:21 |
| zamba | i'm feeling a bit claustrophobic here :p | 11:21 |
| mick02 | Onide check your private messages | 11:21 |
| koopee | Any idea what is a "linux plaintext" partition? It seems to prevent me from repartitioning the hard drive in install | 11:22 |
| Slart | zamba: yup.. seems you're using the binary driver alright.. the other thing that sometimes fails is that X can't get info from your monitor about what frequencies it can handle | 11:22 |
| zamba | Slart: the benchmark is returning around 900 fps for the gears, if that means anything | 11:22 |
| zamba | Slart: what's the solution for that then? an empty xorg.conf? | 11:22 |
| Slart | zamba: it's usually handled via some kind of "plug & play"-ish protocol called EDID.. but that doesn't always work and X then uses something that is very very safe.. then you end up with stuff like 800x600 | 11:23 |
| bill-nz | Slart: i have same issue, and it only started when the latest nvidia update came out the other day | 11:23 |
| Slart | zamba: what you can do it look up your monitor specs.. usually from the manufacturers website .. and enter those values in the otherwise empty xorg.conf.. | 11:24 |
| zamba | Slart: the graphic card has a dvi out option, but my monitor only has vga in.. so i have to use a dvi-to-vga-adapter to get the signal to the monitor.. could this be blocking the EDID information in some way? | 11:25 |

| jimmyj | bill-nz: lol, spent all day yesterday and got nowhere | 11:28 |
| Slart | zamba: here's an example of how to enter the frequencies, http://paste.ubuntu.com/107290/ | 11:29 |
| oCean_ | I am on friends laptop. There is no video output from mplayer (or totem) when playing avi. Suggestions? | 11:29 |
| bill-nz | jimmyj: whatever you do DO NOT install the driver from the nvidia site. totally screwed my xserver and had to reinstall the os | 11:29 |
| zamba | Slart: will i still be able to select between the different resolutions by using the system->preferences menu? | 11:29 |
| DWITA_99 | change the player session | 11:30 |
| === rn0308982 is now known as Win| | ||
| zamba | Slart: that's all? | 11:30 |
| Slart | zamba: horizSync and VertRefresh are usually found in the hardware specs of your monitor.. if you can't find them you can usually use values from a monitor with a similar size, resolution.. they say using bad values can damage the monitor though so be a bit careful | 11:30 |

| vinja-sheep | Ubuntu 8.10 come with what sound as default? PulseAudio? | 11:30 |
| Slart | zamba: afaik, yes.. I don't mess around with my resolutions so I haven't really tried | 11:30 |
| jimmyj | bill-nz: ok, already did that, will i need to reinstall ? | 11:30 |
| zamba | Slart: what does the option dpms mean? | 11:31 |
| Slart | vinja-sheep: alsa sound with pulseaudio on top of that | 11:31 |
| bill-nz | jimmyj: well, if you can get gdm and x to start, then you're ahead of where i was | 11:31 |
| vinja-sheep | Slart: Thanks. I'll try the plugin. | 11:31 |
| Slart | zamba: Vesa Display Power Management.. but I think you can skip that line | 11:31 |
| koopee | slart: I doubt all fairly modern monitors are not so sensitive to the bad sync values. Please correct me if I have wrong. | 11:31 |
| jimmyj | bill-nz: yeah they start but only in low-graphics mode | 11:31 |
| Slart | zamba: the important ones are the two frequencies | 11:31 |
| zamba | Slart: cool | 11:31 |
| Ward1983 | "IP adress detected on command line. Runing in single user mode" < what does this mean? | 11:32 |
| bill-nz | jimmyj: after i installed the driver from the site, i couldn't get of of command line. that's why i started over again | 11:32 |
| Slart | zamba: also check the file /var/log/X11/xorg.0.log .. X is usually quite good at pointing out why it doesn't want to use a certain resolution there.. error lines will start with EE, warnings with !! I think | 11:32 |
| aremay | hello | 11:32 |
| Slart | zamba: I have to run.. but you have some stuff to try now.. ask the channel if you run into any problems | 11:33 |

| Kartagis | in #ldap i've been told that apt-get install should create slapd.conf, but it didn't. any ideas why? | 11:33 |

| jimmyj | bill-nz: think i'm just gonna re-install os anyway - i'm sure in all my tinkering i may have messed something up | 11:34 |
| bill-nz | jimmyj: you will still be stuck in low res mode though... that's why i'm here | 11:34 |
| NorthByNorthWest | Hi! Ubuntu wont use my soundcard for playback... although Ive chosen it in "System->Settings->Sound" and "test" gives me the beep-sound all playback goes to the chips on the motherboard! | 11:34 |
| zamba | koopee: hm.. but do you connect your monitor using a vga connection or dvi? | 11:35 |
| zamba | koopee: because i believe the edid information get blocked when using the dvi-to-vga-adapter | 11:35 |
| koopee | its vga | 11:35 |
| jimmyj | bill-nz: you had any progress at all ? | 11:35 |
| vinja-sheep | I'm having issues with installing VLC (well not that one)... but to be more specific... to use mozilla-plugin-vlc as my default plugin for Firefox. Rather than dealing with totem + codecs. It didn't went well for me. Even VLC have instructions for Ubuntu 8.10. | 11:35 |
| slyuk | NorthByNorthWest: can you not disable your oboard in the bios, as so ubuntu only knows of one sound card to use. | 11:35 |
| koopee | zamba: That's possible | 11:36 |
| zamba | koopee: that worked! :=) | 11:36 |
| zamba | koopee: thanks! | 11:36 |

| jimmyj | bill_nz: isn't that what the xorg.conf file is for ? to set the resolutions | 12:00 |
| Deon | KingWilliam: Is there a windows utility that can manage it or something? | 12:00 |
| jimmyj | koopee: just rm xorg.conf again and got out of low-graphics mode but screen is off center | 12:00 |

| suji | bill_nz:one file slapd is in /etc/default directory. it can be open in gedit. it doesnt open in terminal using sudo and also it cant be modified(permission denied) | 12:00 |
| bill-nz | jimmyj: yeah, that's what I thought, but 8.10 doesn't seem to populate the xorg.conf file like it used to | 12:00 |
| KingWilliam | Deon, the only tip I can give you is to try and reïnstall grub only using the liveCD | 12:00 |
| Deon | Can I do that? Grub only? Without reinstalling entirely? | 12:01 |
| SlimeyPete | yes | 12:02 |
| SlimeyPete | you use the grub-install script IIRC | 12:02 |
| suji | Any one know :one file slapd is in /etc/default directory. it can be open in gedit. it doesnt open in terminal using sudo and also it cant be modified(permission denied) | 12:02 |
| KingWilliam | Deon, this tutorial might fix you're problem. but I don't promess: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 12:02 |
| jimmyj | bill_nz: i read somewhere that xorg.conf isn't used that much by 8.04 + only for screen res when ubuntu fails to autodetect | 12:03 |
| Deon | SlimeyPete: Wherebouts is that? | 12:04 |
| Deon | SlimeyPete: Just in utilities or something? | 12:04 |
| SlimeyPete | Deon: you run it from a terminal. I think the howto mentioned by KingWilliam will probably involve using it | 12:04 |

| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 12:56 |
| KingWilliam | Milk_Rulz, if you want transparant borders and that sort of stuff you should use emerald | 12:57 |
| Milk_Rulz | I'm using emerald | 12:57 |
| vinja-sheep | Check if you do have "Movie Player" in... Applications --> Sounds & Videos --> ...... and if you do... now... Go to System --> Preferences --> Main Menu..... Try and toggle that off. | 12:57 |
| Milk_Rulz | hold on this might help | 12:57 |
| Milk_Rulz | KingWilliam, I was given this link: http://sudosys.be/?q=die_hard_4.0_theme | 12:57 |
| jrib | vinja-sheep: works here | 12:58 |
| KingWilliam | If you have emerald, Milk_Rulz, you can find suitable themes (with transparacy) on gnome-look.org | 12:58 |

| jrib | farf: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you | 13:07 |

| KingWilliam | Milk_Rulz, You can also hit the install button in appearances and select the tar.gz file i linked you | 13:08 |
| pecko | jrib: yes ive got... but, how can i copy and paste them, when OS doesnt boot?:P if i want to os to boot-up i have to plug-out graphics | 13:08 |
| perlsyntax | and how can i get it to work with unbuntu. | 13:08 |
| jrib | pecko: type them or take a picture... | 13:08 |
| Milk_Rulz | KingWilliam: Ok well this is what I've done, I right click Compiz Fusion Icon > Select Window Decorator > Emerald, applied the Die Hard theme on emerald | 13:08 |
| perlsyntax | anyone | 13:08 |
| farf | ok, ive installed ubuntu and gone through the setup, however when i try to reboot the system into the desktop, i get a popup about it running in low-graphics mode, and asks me to configure the video settings, when i click ok i get 3 options, run in low graphics mode, reconfigure graphics, or troubleshoot, i get a loop when i try to run in low graphics (goes back to telling me its running in low graphics) and it wont let | 13:08 |

| Milk_Rulz | KingWilliam: opened system > preferences > appearance, dragged 84355-diehard.tar.gz onto it | 13:09 |
| pecko | jrib: i just know ther's something like udevd-event :run_program: 'path/to/the/program' abnormal exit | 13:09 |
| jrib | neiljay: feisty is end of life. It is no longer supported. You need to upgrade as this means you are no longer receiving security upgrades | 13:10 |
| jrib | !upgrade > neiljay | 13:10 |

| pecko | jrib: and then something about /bin/sh that it cannot be found and permission denied | 13:10 |
| Milk_Rulz | KingWilliam: then I get "Installation for theme "diehard" failed. | 13:10 |
| Milk_Rulz | Can't move directory over directory" | 13:10 |
| jrib | pecko: it's not hard to give exact errors, paraphrasing them usually just causes confusion. I can't help you like this. But include what you know in your questions I guess and maybe someone else can recognize the issue | 13:11 |
| KingWilliam | Do you already have the theme installes Milk_Rulz ? | 13:11 |
| Milk_Rulz | I have the emerald theme installed | 13:11 |
| vinja-sheep | Night, world. | 13:12 |
| vikku | jrib : http://pastebin.com/d61305431 | 13:12 |
| KingWilliam | I think they are fighting for some reason. Wait a sec pls | 13:12 |
| farf | anyone know anything about my graphics issue? i cant get to the command prompt (or at least dont know how), and i cant do anything through the popup on boot about low graphics mode | 13:12 |
| jrib | vikku: looks like xv is in there. Does « gmplayer » give you an error? | 13:13 |
| vikku | lemme c | 13:13 |
| pecko | jrib: if u don have running os its very very hard to give exact errors. but i still can take a paper and pen and write down them from screnn:P | 13:13 |
| KingWilliam | Milk_Rulz, I am not sure, but this little trick might help you | 13:13 |
| jrib | pecko: when you have exact errors, you can usually just google them, that's why they're so helpful :) | 13:14 |
| pecko | jrib: or i can make a picture with my camera:D | 13:14 |
| KingWilliam | Milk_Rulz, open the tar.gz file with file-roller (just double-click the file) and rename the folder called "diehard" to something else | 13:14 |
| pecko | jrib: ive tried... but no result. its why im here | 13:14 |
| vikku | jrib : http://pastebin.com/m64d5f2bd | 13:14 |
| KingWilliam | Milk_Rulz, close the archive and try to install again (either by drag n drop or by the button) | 13:14 |
| vikku | it did fiv some err | 13:14 |
| vikku | giv* | 13:15 |
| jrib | vikku: and « gmplayer -vo xv » ? | 13:15 |
| Milk_Rulz | KingWilliam: your a genious :P | 13:15 |
| Milk_Rulz | KingWilliam: but there is 1 last thing it's missing, the transparency :( | 13:16 |
| Milk_Rulz | KingWilliam: before it didn't have any color, but now it does. | 13:16 |
| jrib | vikku: never mind, I see "Warning unknown option vo_driver at line 2" now. Change "vo_driver" to "vo" as that's what it is in mplayer's non-gui conf | 13:16 |
| KingWilliam | Milk_Rulz, as far as I know GTK themes can not have transperency. But emerald themes do. So you head over to the emerald manager and choose your emerald theme there. I can not perfectly remember but i guess there is a customize button | 13:17 |
| TecR0c | how do you open a iso image through the terminal? | 13:17 |
| jrib | vikku: or better yet, just delete that line in ~/.mplayer/gui.conf and add the following to your ~/.mplayer/config: vo=xv | 13:17 |
| KingWilliam | Mil_Arg, In the customize window you can do whatever you want with it. (like adding transparency) | 13:18 |
| Jeruvy | TecR0c: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html | 13:18 |
| Milk_Rulz | KingWilliam: I'm not finding a customize button, there is an Edit Themes tab and above that an "Emerald Settings" tab | 13:18 |
| farf | how do i install video drivers without being able to boot to the desktop | 13:18 |
| clarks | http://paste.ubuntu.com/107309/ | 13:19 |
| KingWilliam | Milk_Rulz, Edit themes will do the trick :D | 13:19 |
| clarks | can anyone check for me ..and how to fixed it | 13:19 |
| jrib | clarks: open ~/.ssh/known_hosts in a text editor and delete line 10 | 13:19 |

| KingWilliam | Milk_Rulz, since I don't use compiz anymore i don't know. | 13:22 |

| Dr_Willis_AAO | farf, normally edit xorg.conf and set the driver line to be like driver 'vesa' | 14:17 |

| Dr_Willis_AAO | denna thats sort of scary :) | 14:18 |
| M25 | dennda: lvm? | 14:19 |
| farf | so basically just Section "Driver" then identifier "Vesa"? | 14:19 |
| dennda | M25: logical volume management | 14:19 |
| Pici | breaker: I'm not sure then. I was going to say that if it was in a FIN state then it was just the kernel keeping it open for some reason, and that an application wasn't really using it. | 14:19 |

| CrYsIsX | anybody who can help me? | 14:39 |
| mysticdarkhack | Morning all? | 14:39 |
| M25 | dekkong: that's a vlc configuration problem probably. see if you can use different sound setup options in vlc | 14:39 |
| Quintasan | M25: ok, I see stylus and earser in wacomcpl, no pad but I can live without it, what you set up in gimp? I cant seen anything regarding tablet senitivity | 14:39 |

| dekkong | M25: ok | 14:39 |
| M25 | Quintasan: look under Inputs, I think | 14:40 |
| CrYsIsX | Stuff?: when i installed ubuntu 8.10 via windows vista and restarted to get on, i got a lil prob, it took me to DOS after booting | 14:40 |
| erUSUL | CrYsIsX: you used wubi ? | 14:40 |
| M25 | it was weird, I had to fiddle with it, but I did get it working eventually | 14:40 |
| CrYsIsX | erUSUL: What? | 14:40 |
| mysticdarkhack | anyone own sony vaio z? | 14:41 |
| erUSUL | !wubi | CrYsIsX | 14:41 |
| ubottu | CrYsIsX: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 14:41 |
| troynt | anyone know what repository start-stop-daemon is located in OR where to find start-stop-daemon to install from source? | 14:41 |
| CrYsIsX | erUSUL: No, i juts downloaded the ubuntu 8.10 from here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and installed it via windows | 14:42 |
| Quintasan | M25: grrr, still no senitivity | 14:42 |
| oCean_ | troynt: "init" is the process mgmt daemon | 14:42 |
| Pici | CrYsIsX: Did you run an installer within windows? or did you boot from the cd? | 14:42 |
| CrYsIsX | Installer | 14:42 |
| M25 | Quintasan: sorry man, I sold my wacom after I realized I can't draw worth anything. Good luck man | 14:42 |
| Pici | CrYsIsX: That would be the aformentioned Wubi method then. | 14:42 |
| troynt | oCean_: I'm getting "/etc/init.d/vsftpd: 43: start-stop-daemon: not found" | 14:42 |
| erUSUL | CrYsIsX: if you installed via/within windows you used wubi | 14:42 |
| M25 | CrYsIsX: again, are you sure it's DOS and not just a "choose operating system" screen? | 14:43 |
| Milk_Rulz | erUSL: thanks, but say if I wanted aMSN to start up automaticly, how would I find the command | 14:43 |

| oCean_ | troynt: something wrong on line 43 then.. it's not the init daemon | 14:44 |
| CrYsIsX | Ubuntu | 14:44 |
| troynt | oCean_: Yea I forgot to do a sudo :-x | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | Milk_Rulz: most likely is "amsn" | 14:44 |
| Pici | troynt: start-stop-daemon is included in the dpkg package, which I assure you is installed. | 14:44 |
| toddoon | hi, how do i change resolution in tty? | 14:44 |
| M25 | CrYsIsX: ok, firstly, that's not DOS, that's BASH you're seeing. Second off, does it stop scrolling text? if so, what's the last 2 lines it writes? | 14:44 |
| troynt | Pici: Yea, it is working now, I just forgot to do a sudo, so my path was messed up | 14:45 |

| zamba | i'd like to mount a user's home directory over nfs when he/she logs on | 14:48 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | zamba yes - in fstab | 14:48 |
| zamba | Dr_Willis_AAO: but that's not per-user | 14:49 |
| jb-rite | Howdy folks. | 14:49 |

| Dr_Willis_AAO | all of /home/ | 14:49 |

| M25 | whoops, that's vice-versa | 14:51 |
| oCean_ | zamba: I think it is possible, however it probably requires some scripting and modifying default behaviour of 'login' | 14:52 |
| sipior | zamba: you can look at setting up an automounter, with each user's home as a separate export. this will not work very well for large numbers of users. also, out of curiosity what advantage do you hope to gain by only mounting the filesystem when the user is logged in? | 14:52 |

| wassy121 | zamba: There is a custom pam plugin that mounts SMB directories upon user login. http://pam-mount.sourceforge.net/ is non-ubuntu, but may be what you need. | 14:53 |

| jb-rite | alrighty erUSUL -- thanks, I'll ty that out. | 14:53 |
| zamba | sipior: well.. i basically want to create a sandbox environment.. since the same user should be logged onto several different computers at the same time.. this is for a student environment, where the students are too young to have a sense of their own username / password, so it's easier to just have one.. i want to use central ldap authentication for the user and when he/she logs on, create a layer upon the directory | 14:53 |
| zamba | sipior: upon the home directory | 14:54 |
| sipior | zamba: how young we talking here? | 14:54 |
| zamba | sipior: 6 to 12 years of age | 14:54 |
| zamba | sipior: and believe me, we don't have the staff to constantly change passwords and create new users | 14:54 |
| sipior | zamba: oh, believe me, there'll have no problem handling a username/password | 14:54 |
| zamba | sipior: well.. we'll have problems with the maintanance | 14:55 |
| sipior | zamba: you're going to have to do maintenance anyway. | 14:55 |
| zamba | sipior: sure.. but it's easier if it's just one user | 14:55 |
| Zzeiss | Is there any way to NOT reload the hibernated image when you power-up from a save-to-disk hibernate? | 14:55 |
| zamba | sipior: and the students are used to saving their documents on a shared samba share, so that will remain the way they're used to | 14:56 |

| erUSUL | CyL: which video card ? | 14:57 |
| CyL | erUSUL: intel 945gm | 14:57 |
| sipior | zamba: although really, why not just leave the filesystem mounted? i'm not sure i see the point to remounting it constantly... | 14:57 |
| zamba | sipior: yeah, i'm considering the same.. | 14:57 |
| erUSUL | CyL: that come preinstalled with ubuntu no need to make any additional step (unlike nvidia/ati) | 14:57 |
| zamba | sipior: just a permanent nfs mount in fstab | 14:57 |
| CyL | erUSUL: ubuntu 8.04 would just ask me if I would like to stick with the free driver, or switch to the proprietry one... | 14:58 |

| wassy121 | Nikon: It should automount when you put it in (if you are running 8.10). If the mount command says "no media" it means the cdrom is saying there is no readable media in the drive. | 15:09 |
| Subdolus | wassy121: yeah it's an atheros and worked fine before with standard madwifi-ng drivers; it's in an EEE | 15:09 |

| smo_PenguinStyle | Hey there. Does anyone know how to map windows key (super L) + E to open file explorer in ubuntu 8.10? | 15:24 |
| jb-rite | So, windows will always allocate hb0,0 for itself? | 15:24 |
| erUSUL | wassy121: oops... not native english speaker ... ;P | 15:24 |
| easwar | smo_PenguinStyle, gconf-editor | 15:24 |
| SnakeArt | Is there any hack to use stir4200 usb dongle with lirc? | 15:25 |
| smo_PenguinStyle | Easwar: is there a tutorial/howto? what edits do I need to make? | 15:25 |
| easwar | smo_PenguinStyle, >>apps>>metacity | 15:25 |
| smo_PenguinStyle | ??metacity | 15:26 |
| easwar | smo_PenguinStyle, >>keybinding_commands | 15:26 |
| wassy121 | SnakeArt: I think you may be barking up the wrong tree here. If the IR usb-module is loaded, then the rest is all lirc magic. That is a program that most people don't use on a daily basis, but if you check for lirc-specific channels, they would be able to help. | 15:26 |
| DarkKnight | hey can anyone help me with this...when i restarted apache i got this message http://paste.ubuntu.com/107339/ | 15:26 |
| easwar | smo_PenguinStyle, just follow the directions,easier that way | 15:27 |
| ugliefrog | can someone tell me how to change dir in the terminal... i must be doing something very wrong. i type in cd /(name of dir) and it says dont exist | 15:27 |
| wassy121 | DarkKnight: that means that you don't have 'ServerName' specified in your httpd.conf, and it can't resolve your primary IP from /etc/hosts. | 15:27 |
| smo_PenguinStyle | easwar: so, do I simply go to the keyboard shortcuts section in preferences? I've already tried that, and it seems that the gnome keyboard shortcuts don't support windows key (super L) + someletter combinations. | 15:27 |
| easwar | ugliefrog, you need the entire path | 15:27 |
| wassy121 | DarkKnight: fix one or the other, and it should go away. Just a warning anyway, things should still work. | 15:27 |
| easwar | smo_PenguinStyle, run gconf-editor in Alt+F2 | 15:27 |
| DarkKnight | wassy121; so how do i specify the server name | 15:28 |
| Lenox | :ugliefrog - just tipe in cd "directory" without " | 15:28 |
| ugliefrog | i do type in pwd it shows me dir then i try to go there | 15:28 |
| smo_PenguinStyle | easwar: alt+f2 == cli / console? | 15:28 |
| easwar | smo_PenguinStyle, key combination in GUI | 15:28 |
| bebraw | does anyone know how to install .jars do that they appear to java namespace properly (ie. org.apache.something.something)? | 15:28 |
| sieken | i am fairly new to ubuntu and linux in general, so i was wondering if i could get some help with a question i have. | 15:29 |
| oCean_ | ugliefrog: than use "cd dirname" | 15:29 |
| bebraw | *so that | 15:29 |
| wassy121 | sieken: don't ask to ask. Just ask. | 15:29 |
| KingWilliam | sieken, of course you can. Just fire away | 15:29 |
| Kartagis | does "delivered" mean "sent out" on pflogsumm reports? | 15:29 |

| sieken | i did some changes a while ago and now that i have rebooted, some settings are back to the way they were before | 15:30 |
| DarkKnight | wassy121; so how do i specify the server name | 15:30 |
| ugliefrog | ugliefrog@FrogHQ:~$ pwd | 15:30 |

| wassy121 | DarkKnight: You edit your httpd configuration, and set it. | 15:30 |
| easwar | smo_PenguinStyle, what happened? | 15:30 |
| ugliefrog | sorry i didnt know bout the flod thing | 15:31 |
| DarkKnight | wassy121; i dont know where exactly the httpd is located...can you specify the command | 15:31 |
| wassy121 | DarkKnight: Maybe apache isn't right for you. If you don't know how to set it up, you could be opening up more problems. | 15:31 |
| jb-rite | Would my windows XP partition need a bootable flag to be used by grub? | 15:32 |
| KingWilliam | sieken, what kind of settings? | 15:32 |
| smo_PenguinStyle | easwar: just making sure that I don't screw things up, and its taking another moment. brb. | 15:32 |
| oCean_ | ugliefrog: you can use paste.ubuntu.com to paste any output. Share the url here. | 15:32 |

| KingWilliam | sieken, do you use the liveCD or do you have ubuntu installed? | 15:32 |

| jb-rite | hrmm, this has me stumped | 15:32 |
| DarkKnight | wassy121; i have to work with php and also drupal...i am in learning stages... | 15:32 |
| smo_PenguinStyle | easwar: Where do I go in gconf editor | 15:33 |
| easwar | smo_PenguinStyle, press Alt+F2 on your desktop,type gconf-editor and press Enter,in the window that opens,follow />>apps>>metacity>>keybinding_commands>>edit command 1 to read nautilus | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | jb-rite: my connection failed... did you pasted the ouput i requesed ? | 15:33 |
| smo_PenguinStyle | easwar: now I understand. I'm sorry that the coffee hasn't kicked in yet. :) | 15:33 |
| sieken | i have installed, just yesterday actually. i took away the beep sound that you get from time to time, some effects in compiz | 15:33 |
| easwar | smo_PenguinStyle, lol,nevermind | 15:33 |
| jb-rite | erUSUL: I didn't, I must have missed the message. | 15:33 |
| sieken | so i was wondering if there was a way that i don't know of to make it permanent | 15:34 |
| KingWilliam | It is always permanent. | 15:34 |
| erUSUL | jb-rite: paste the output of "sudo fdisk -l" on a pastebin | 15:34 |
| MOUD | Hey all | 15:34 |
| wassy121 | sieken: maybe you fixed the beep sound by unloading the pcspkr module, and now upon reboot it came back? | 15:34 |
| smo_PenguinStyle | easwar: is it possible to create new commands for combinations like super L / windows key + R for run, and super L / windows key + E for opening nautilus? | 15:35 |
| sieken | i think that's just what i did. | 15:35 |
| easwar | smo_PenguinStyle, only new key combinations | 15:35 |
| sieken | can i do it in another way? | 15:35 |
| erUSUL | smo_PenguinStyle: System>Preferences> | 15:35 |
| easwar | smo_PenguinStyle, have you finished editing command 1 to read nautilus? | 15:35 |
| wassy121 | sieken: if so, you can edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add a line for the pc speaker. | 15:35 |
| easwar | erUSUL, smo_PenguinStyle has already tried that | 15:36 |
| wassy121 | mine is like: "blacklist snd_pcsp" , but I think it was called pcspkr in 8.04 | 15:36 |
| macman | anyone watching the inaguration ? | 15:36 |
| MOUD | what's a good flash player for ubuntu? | 15:36 |
| Yud_Zroc | are there driver listings to be able to use my mic port | 15:36 |
| smo_PenguinStyle | easwar: does "new key combinations" equate to the ability to create superL+R, etc? | 15:36 |
| jb-rite | http://pastebin.com/m5b1d9591 | 15:36 |
| easwar | smo_PenguinStyle, yes | 15:36 |
| wassy121 | MOUD: flashplugin-nonfree is best I think. | 15:36 |
| Yud_Zroc | MOUD use the package manager and get the flash libraries | 15:36 |
| smo_PenguinStyle | easwar: alrighty, let me try this.... momentito.... | 15:36 |
| MOUD | should I install macromedia flash then? | 15:37 |
| Yud_Zroc | MOUD: no | 15:37 |
| wassy121 | MOUD: don't install their tarball crap. | 15:37 |
| MOUD | ok then | 15:37 |
| Yud_Zroc | MOUD: use the add/remove programs | 15:37 |
| wassy121 | MOUD: use the package manager to install ubuntu's version. It is better packaged, and handles upgrades more smoothly. | 15:37 |
| Yud_Zroc | MOUD: or if ur comfy with it use the package manager | 15:37 |
| sieken | do i do that in terminal or? i'm not sure how to operate things atm | 15:37 |
| MOUD | I'll use the package manager | 15:38 |
| Lupine | Can an Ubuntu 8.10/iptables guru take a look at this issue for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1044885 | 15:38 |
| MOUD | ops | 15:38 |
| erUSUL | jb-rite: the windows partition is (hd0,1) in grub | 15:38 |
| MOUD | the add/remove because flash is not not shown in the package manager | 15:38 |
| wassy121 | sieken: 'sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist' from the console, or if you have an "edit file as root" link in your applications, you can use that. | 15:39 |
| jb-rite | erUSUL: alrighty -- I'll give it another shot, thanks a lot for helping. | 15:39 |
| Yud_Zroc | Lupine: i had that problem once... | 15:39 |
| Lupine | MOUD, make sure "All available applications" is being shown | 15:40 |
| Yud_Zroc | Lupine: i had to use a different connection once... | 15:40 |

| Lenox | I have just one question, everytime I run firefox to watch youtube videos firefox crash - I have Ubuntu 8.10 and the newest firefox and flash | 15:40 |
| CrYsIsX | probably | 15:40 |
| wassy121 | CrYsIsX: that means "the cdrom can't read the CD". Due to bad laser, bad disk, scratches, etc. | 15:40 |
| MOUD | yes it is. | 15:40 |
| jb-rite | it worked! -- thanks again erUSUL. | 15:40 |
| erUSUL | jb-rite: no problem | 15:40 |
| DarkKnight | wassy121; any idea?? | 15:40 |
| CrYsIsX | ok thanks, ill get a new CD, it was a DvD RW | 15:41 |
| Lupine | Yud_Zroc, what do you mean by a different connection? | 15:41 |
| Lupine | or if it's too busy, and you just want to respond to that post...I'm fine with that too. thx! | 15:41 |
| * easwar is out | 15:42 | |
| Yud_Zroc | Lupine: try letting ubuntu connect to it itself...or if ur like me and running 6 servers (dont ask) u have a lot of nics (ethernet cards) | 15:42 |
| rrohde | Lenox, I have the same issue. But not all the time. Strange. It doesn't crash, but freezes. | 15:42 |
| MOUD | Macromedia Flash plugin or flashblock extension for firefox? | 15:42 |
| Lenox | yes it freeze | 15:42 |
| Yud_Zroc | MOUD: i would get both | 15:42 |
| sieken | doesn't seem to work. or maybe i've done it wrong. i went into the system files and found my way to the blacklist. should write something there? | 15:42 |
| MOUD | Yud_Zroc: ok then :) | 15:42 |
| Yud_Zroc | MOUD: oh wait....not the flash block | 15:42 |
| Yud_Zroc | MOUD: i thought it was something else | 15:43 |
| MOUD | oh ok | 15:43 |
| Yud_Zroc | flash block has something to do with blocking unwanted flash adds or somethinglike that | 15:43 |
| MOUD | thanks Yud_Zroc , wassy121, and Lupine for the help :) | 15:43 |
| MOUD | ah, ok then | 15:43 |
| Yud_Zroc | np MOUD | 15:43 |
| Lupine | MOUD, np | 15:44 |
| Lenox | MOUD: i installed with synaptic the adobe-flashpluginn and the flashplugin-nonfree | 15:44 |
| Yud_Zroc | i had it blocking something i wanteed to see before | 15:44 |
| wassy121 | sieken: yes, once you add that line like 'blacklist snd_pcsp' to the end/middle/beginning/whatever, it will "stick" upon reboot. | 15:44 |
| bo7amny | #linuxac | 15:44 |
| wassy121 | sieken: Then just 'sudo modprobe -r snd_pcsp' and it will be active for this boot. | 15:44 |
| Yud_Zroc | also for those getting flash-nonfree....look up JRE in the package manager | 15:44 |

| ubottu | cousteau: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash | 15:54 |

| dbuiviet | hi all, can you guys show me where I can find tutorial for creating ubuntu package from source (.tar ball)? Thanks in advance :) | 16:00 |
| oCean_ | DarkKnight: well, that's because apache cannot determine (as it says) what the fqdn of your machine is. So it uses the loopback ip address. Your servername can be specified in apache configuration, but it should also be resolvable (e.g. by editing /etc/hosts) | 16:00 |
| ox | has feisty been removed from all the repositories? | 16:01 |
| DarkKnight | oCean_ yes i see the server address right...still what could be the probelm | 16:02 |

| cattlesnake | Hello everybody. I've spend nearly a day trying to get Ubuntu working with my Marvell Topdog wireless to no avail. I'd hate to revert back to Vista so quickly, but it's looking like there's no choice unless anyone knows what to do. There are no tutorials online that seem to work. | 16:09 |
| troynt | anyone have any good setup scripts to install apache2+php5+mysql etc | 16:09 |
| Pici | !lamp | troynt | 16:09 |
| ubottu | troynt: 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+) | 16:09 |

| Prez00 | this is very strange, I was running latest ubuntu on my Lenovo x61 with latest 2.6.28 kernel. I fiddled with sound config in kernel for 2.6.28.1 and laptop started perfectly, but no sound. Now I go to generic ubuntu kernel 2.6.27 and still no sound, while this used to work perfectly. X61 has Intel HD, i tried the sound controls on laptop, fiddling with sound preferences, nothing, any ideas? | 18:23 |
| shubbar | elfgoh, may be you need to change the keyboard layout | 18:23 |
| elfgoh | shubbar,: how do i do that frm the CLI? | 18:24 |
| elfgoh | i am using lxde | 18:24 |
| elfgoh | no gnome | 18:24 |
| Prez00 | i shutdown the machine completely just to be sure, and still nothing with known working kernels... | 18:24 |
| BCampbell | fuser, which client are you using? | 18:24 |
| elfgoh | i cannt find xorg.conf | 18:24 |
| elfgoh | running on intrepid | 18:24 |
| nyaa | elfgoh look in /ect/X11 | 18:24 |
| elfgoh | so hw do I change my keyboard layout? | 18:24 |
| elfgoh | nyaa: ok.. try tt nw | 18:25 |
| dennda | How can I customize the default icon for an application? The default urxvt icon is pretty ugly and I want to replace it | 18:25 |
| shubbar | elfgoh, from System > Preferences > Keyboard and then Layout tab | 18:25 |
| Prez00 | I get no errors when trying to play something, but no sound...tried headphone jack nothing... | 18:25 |
| elfgoh | nyaa: it is empty | 18:25 |
| elfgoh | xorg.conf is empty | 18:25 |
| elfgoh | shubbar: i am using lxde instead of gnome | 18:26 |
| elfgoh | so that tip does not help | 18:26 |
| dougiel | elfgoh, /etc/X11/xorg.conf = empty? | 18:26 |
| dennda | nvm, I'll just replace it in pixmaps | 18:26 |
| farf | ok so, im trying to format and reinstall....rebooted w/ the cd and everything, starts to load after i click install ubuntu, now im stuck at a prompt of ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 18:26 |

| Lorenzo | Hey all, quick question. I have a Memorex mx4400rf. I know, I know, it's rather old. But it's been my only way of getting internet on my laptop. How can I get Ubuntu to recognize it? | 18:26 |
| Lorenzo | Oh -- I forgot to mention, that it's a wireless adaptor. | 18:26 |
| Rezzie | Is the bootchart web renderer down, and if so how can I render my bootchart.tgz log (offline or alternative renderers)? I have tried using a web browser and curl for online, and "java -jar bootchart.jar" and "java -cp bootchart.jar org.bootchart.Main" locally but neither work for offline rendering. | 18:26 |
| elfgoh | dougiel, yes xorg.conf is empty | 18:27 |
| dougiel | farf, you rebooted cd with default options? | 18:27 |
| shay_ | guys im having a problem: most of the configurations i make - main menu configs, desktop configs and even some system updates are not being saved, as if their folders are read only or somethin | 18:27 |
| farf | yup | 18:27 |
| dougiel | elfgoh, farf did that too - dunno what to say | 18:27 |
| farf | takes me to where i can try ubuntu etc, clicked install, and now its at that prompt | 18:27 |
| orudie | how do i add a user in terminal ? | 18:27 |
| dougiel | farf, there is an option to boot live cd in vesa mode correct? | 18:28 |
| ASULutzy | orudie: adduser | 18:28 |
| farf | lemme look, the last time i got to vesa mode was to edit the xorg.conf file | 18:28 |
| farf | should i boot to the live cd? | 18:28 |
| dougiel | farf, reboot the cd again and hit the down arrow key (to stop auto starting) and tell me what options you have. | 18:29 |
| Lorenzo | Hello-lo-lo-loooo | 18:29 |
| farf | ok, right now im at the ubuntu screen, has try ubuntu w/o changes, install, check cd for defets, test memory, boot from hd | 18:29 |
| Lorenzo | help-elp-lp-lp-p... | 18:29 |
| farf | i pressed f4 to get the other option and i can do normal or safe graphics mode (last time that didnt work for me) | 18:29 |
| ASULutzy | Lorenzo: That's not necessary, just explain the problem you're having | 18:30 |
| ytoox | hey, I am using an atheros card and the internet acts very strange when I use the wireless. | 18:30 |
| ytoox | I need help to solve the problem | 18:30 |
| gerob | hey all, finally got my video card working and now Im wondering how I get the nicer themes on my desktop like some of the Compiz or Emerald ones | 18:30 |
| piquadrat | Hi! My aptitude is complaining that it can't find some public keys for a couple PPAs I'm using. The fingerprints are 778978B00F7992B0 and 632D16BB0C713DA6. Where can I find those keys? | 18:30 |
| plytheman | hey guys, has anyone installed Neverwinter Nights? | 18:31 |
| ASULutzy | gerob: You can just go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance and then desktop effects I think... For more modular control, I suggest doing sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 18:31 |
| === Ewidiusz is now known as VVlodarrius | ||
| dougiel | farf, do the safe graphics mode and tell me what happens | 18:31 |
| === stufkan is now known as Stufkan | ||
| studiodartisan | hye all | 18:32 |
| Lorenzo | ASULutzy -- I imagine it's something really easy, but I am an hour fresh to Ubuntu. I have a really old wireless adaptor, a Memorex mx4400rf. I have it plugged in to my USB but do not know how to get Ubuntu to recognize it. | 18:32 |
| ytoox | hey, anyone can give me a hand | 18:32 |
| ytoox | ? | 18:32 |
| dougiel | farf, what kind of video card do you have? | 18:32 |
| farf | k, so, i pressed enter on safe graphics, do i do try ubuntu or install ubuntu? | 18:32 |
| farf | gefore 6200 | 18:32 |
| Rezzie | Is the bootchart web renderer down, and if so how can I render my bootchart.tgz log (offline or alternative renderers)? I have tried using a web browser and curl for online, and "java -jar bootchart.jar" and "java -cp bootchart.jar org.bootchart.Main" locally but neither work for offline rendering. | 18:33 |
| ASULutzy | Lorenzo: I'm not familiar with that specific adapter, one sec, I'll see if I can find anything... Google is probably your friend here | 18:33 |
| dougiel | farf, exactly the same card here - I'd do the install | 18:33 |
| farf | thats what i clicked the last time and it took me to that ubuntu@ubuntu prompt and stopped loading | 18:33 |
| ytoox | this is useless | 18:33 |
| ytoox | I haven't had one question answered here since I installed ubuntu | 18:34 |
| ytoox | later | 18:34 |
| ytoox | :( | 18:34 |
| plytheman | ytoox | 18:34 |
| plytheman | oops | 18:34 |
| ASULutzy | Lorenzo: It's a mouse right? | 18:34 |
| dougiel | farf, ok the select the try - there is an install option from the live boot | 18:34 |
| gerob | ASULutzy: Thanks, I will let you know if I have any more questions regarding the setup. | 18:34 |
| BCampbell | don't think ytoox ever asked a question | 18:35 |
| dougiel | BCampbell, no - not one that made sense | 18:35 |
| ichbinesderelch | just question like "using atheros card and internet doin crazy things" so very specific :P | 18:35 |
| farf | waiting for it to load... | 18:35 |
| Lorenzo | ASULutzy -- I grabbed the wrong adapter. Don't I feel stupid. Hold on a second. | 18:35 |
| dougiel | farf, k | 18:35 |
| plytheman | can someone help me with some permissions issues? I'm running a .sh to install Neverwinter Nights and it won't let me write to where it has to be installed | 18:35 |
| plytheman | I set the folder privleges to all read/write | 18:36 |
| plytheman | but no luck | 18:36 |
| BCampbell | plytheman, running as root? try "sudo sh <script>" | 18:36 |
| ichbinesderelch | plytheman: how did you set the permissions for the install location? | 18:36 |
| gerob | ASULutzy: How do I get the icon bar along the bottom like I have seen in some UI's? I can't find an option for it in the settings manager | 18:36 |
| Krstnsn | heres a crazy question... is there anyway to use a 1gig SD card as some sort of ram type deal? | 18:37 |
| farf | ok, so im back in booted from the live cd, just go ahead and do the install through here? | 18:37 |
| plytheman | ichbinesderelch: I ran nautilus as root and set it through the properties dialog | 18:37 |
| gofg | gerob, right click on the bar, unlock, drag to bottom? | 18:37 |
| dougiel | Krstnsn, too slow but yes | 18:37 |
| Krstnsn | so its not worth it? | 18:37 |
| BCampbell | farf, that's what i would do...but would grab a beer or two first | 18:37 |
| ichbinesderelch | plytheman: where do you want to install it to? | 18:37 |
| dougiel | Krstnsn, I would say no | 18:37 |
| plytheman | /usr/local/games/nwn | 18:37 |
| farf | lol way ahead of you | 18:37 |
| Krstnsn | k thanks | 18:37 |
| plytheman | i tried running the .sh as sudo and it didn't help | 18:37 |
| Krstnsn | i just had an extra microsd laying around | 18:38 |
| protocol1 | my system said gave me a message saying the defaults for my power manager might have not been installed correctly........there a way to fix this? | 18:38 |
| ichbinesderelch | plytheman: just do a "sudo chown -R youruser /usr/local/games/" | 18:38 |
| gerob | gofg: no I mean the nice looking bar | 18:38 |
| henriquelm | Hello there | 18:38 |
| ichbinesderelch | plytheman: will change the owner of the folder to your login name | 18:38 |
| bruenig | !hello | henriquelm | 18:38 |
| ubottu | henriquelm: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 18:38 |
| plytheman | ichbinesderelch: I'll try that now, thanks | 18:38 |
| dougiel | farf, ok - so you are installing ok now? | 18:38 |
| henriquelm | Which package do u guys preffer por virtualization, Xen or Qemu? | 18:39 |
| bruenig | virtualbox | 18:39 |
| fearlessdawg | neither virtualbox for me :D | 18:39 |
| ichbinesderelch | +1 for virtualbox | 18:39 |
| lk | where can I find the source for hardy heron root file system (NOT the kernel) | 18:39 |
| Siph0n | why not VMWare? | 18:39 |
| farf | k, its checking the partitions and whatnot | 18:39 |
| henriquelm | lol, ok | 18:39 |
| nyaa | I went with virtualbox, only thing that bothered me was that I can't drag and drop between os's, but it was much faster than vmware | 18:39 |
| henriquelm | Will try virtualbox then! | 18:39 |
| supabunny | VirtualBOX rules | 18:40 |
| protocol1 | anyone know the name of the power manager packages for ubuntu? | 18:40 |
| fearlessdawg | i use virtualbox cause its so easy, works and stable | 18:40 |
| supabunny | it works smoothly on my xp box :D | 18:40 |
| plytheman | ichbinesderelch: still not working. should the chown command have given me a success message? I saw nothing | 18:40 |
| shubbar | elfgoh, any luck? | 18:40 |
| sexcopter | hi there, how can i determine which graphics driver is currently in use, in intrepid? | 18:40 |
| fearlessdawg | plytheman use the CLI to install you might get some better idea of whats going on | 18:41 |
| fearlessdawg | whats the exact error message? | 18:41 |
| ichbinesderelch | plytheman: nope just no output, do a "ls -l /usr/local/games" and post the output | 18:41 |
| gerob | !compiz | 18:41 |

| Rezzie | Anyone here offer some help with bootchart please? | 18:41 |
| dougiel | farf, I am going for a smoke - lemme know when it is installed... I would recomend the point and click method to install nvidia drivers before you edit (fux it up) you xorg.conf... and see if that works and if not do the manual install of drivers before xorg.conf gets messed. | 18:41 |
| plytheman | ls -l /usr/local/games | 18:41 |
| plytheman | oops, one sec | 18:41 |
| plytheman | ls -l /usr/local/games | 18:42 |
| plytheman | total 0 | 18:42 |

| praaaf | sziasztok | 18:42 |
| fearlessdawg | the folder is only readable not writable thats the problem | 18:42 |
| farf | its taking a lot longer this time around....how can i tell if its wiping the partition and redoing everything? | 18:42 |
| ASULutzy | sexcopter: the best way I know of checking is using a little script I found (I'm sure there's a better way, but xorg.conf isn't exactly useful for it anymore) just do wget http://blogage.de/files/9124/download -O compiz-check && chmod +x ./compiz-check && ./compiz-check | 18:42 |
| fearlessdawg | chmod 777 and set the lot to rwx | 18:42 |
| dougiel | farf, is it copying files yet? | 18:42 |
| praaaf | vannak itt magyarok is? | 18:42 |
| supabunny | hey how do we change RUNLEVEL again? | 18:43 |
| darthanubis | ubuntu forgot to notice my Windows XP install and did not put the option for the other OS in grub. Is there an easy way for correcting this? | 18:43 |
| farf | resizing partition | 18:43 |
| ichbinesderelch | plytheman: fearlessdawgs method, sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/local/games/ | 18:43 |
| BCampbell | farf, if i remember there is no real status on partition magement..just have to wait until the copying files comes up | 18:43 |
| farf | for like 5 minutes | 18:43 |
| shubbar | i am getting an error with F-Stop when coping pictures from SD card | 18:43 |
| dougiel | farf, it should have told you it was partitioning and formating | 18:43 |
| magentar | is there a configuration file for key code mappings ? i have some unmapped keycodes showing up in dmesg and i want to assign them to key codes using setkeycodes | 18:43 |
| ASULutzy | plytheman: that needs to be a folder, and it's not | 18:43 |
| farf | ya it didnt, just that it was resizing the partition | 18:43 |
| shubbar | F-Stop error: An unhandled exception was thrown: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) | 18:43 |
| ASULutzy | plytheman: folders are marked with d and are executable. You have a file called nwn? | 18:43 |
| energY | How do I increase the volume in the command line? | 18:43 |
| ASULutzy | plytheman: You sure you don't want that to be a folder? | 18:43 |
| farf | can i stop it? | 18:43 |
| ASULutzy | energY: alsamixer works | 18:43 |
| farf | its been at 50% for like 5 min | 18:43 |
| dougiel | farf, you left it at default install options? | 18:44 |
| BCampbell | farf, what partiton option did you choose? | 18:44 |
| protocol1 | there a place where I can post this error....its too bigfor this chat? | 18:44 |
| farf | the default one, guided | 18:44 |
| ASULutzy | !paste | protocol1 | 18:44 |
| ubottu | protocol1: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 18:44 |
| farf | shoulda done manual eh? | 18:44 |
| shubbar | but i copied the pictures directly to my hd without any errors, it just comes with f-stop | 18:44 |
| dougiel | farf you need to use entire disk if there is nothing else on it | 18:44 |
| plytheman | ASULutzy: i don't know why its not a folder or where the 'nwn' came from, I'm assuming thats as far as the .sh got in the installation | 18:44 |
| BCampbell | farf, not really only one physical drive in the machine? | 18:44 |
| farf | oh | 18:44 |
| farf | lol | 18:44 |
| nyaa | farf resizing can take a while | 18:44 |
| farf | wellll then ill do that | 18:44 |
| farf | nah got 2 drives | 18:44 |
| farf | 80g and 160 | 18:45 |
| nyaa | farf if you set it oddly before and are now setting it manually, I really would just give it some time, your drive will look better at the end heh | 18:45 |
| BCampbell | which is the target drive? | 18:45 |
| starkmjolk | eavning | 18:45 |
| zamba | what's the best and easiest way of rolling out a large number of modified installations of ubuntu? | 18:45 |
| farf | 80g | 18:45 |
| ASULutzy | plytheman: You could always paste the .sh file to a pastebin and we could look through it for some sanity checking | 18:45 |
| protocol1 | there a way I can get this fixed? http://paste.ubuntu.com/107414/ | 18:45 |
| dougiel | farf, cancel the install and start again - no need to reboot tho | 18:45 |
| zamba | i'm thinking something based on pxeboot? | 18:45 |
| shubbar | sometime i feel i m in a very crowded market here | 18:45 |
| farf | dont think its gonna let me stop the resizing | 18:46 |
| plytheman | ASULutzy: I got it from a huge thread in Ubuntu forums, didn't see anyone with my problem tho | 18:46 |
| farf | should i reboot the machine or can that damage it? | 18:46 |
| BCampbell | shubbar, yes it is... and the beer line is the longest | 18:46 |
| plytheman | ASULutzy: so I think its something on my end | 18:46 |
| nyaa | farf or if you do it manually, delete all the old partitions so you don't have to resize | 18:46 |
| supabunny | how do we change what runlevel we are using? | 18:46 |
| supabunny | i forgot =D | 18:46 |
| ASULutzy | plytheman: What is the specific error that you get when you run the script? | 18:46 |
| farf | ya i want to delete the old partition, and then ill use entire disk? | 18:46 |
| dougiel | farf, it should be able to be cancelled | 18:46 |
| starkmjolk | I've accedently overwritten my partition table using freebsd fdisk. now I want to recover my ubuntu system so I can start over | 18:46 |
| starkmjolk | found some info on the net on how to do this, and the tool gpart | 18:46 |
| mossmon | Hi! i would make animations like i have a picture and then i move it on frames. That application should be free. Can anyone help me? | 18:46 |
| KillerOrca | I seem to have lost the ability to get a screen resolution, just booted up and it defaulted to 800X600, have no idea what to do | 18:47 |
| farf | its resising the partition, only gives me option to minimize it | 18:47 |
| BCampbell | dougiel, it may take a while to stop in a resize operations | 18:47 |
| shubbar | where's the best place for a newbie to get a solution to a problem? | 18:47 |
| starkmjolk | I haven't written anything to the disk after the loss of the partition table, so hopefully everything is fine | 18:47 |
| ASULutzy | shubbar: Here, or on the forums | 18:47 |
| farf | is it a bad idea to hard reboot the machine while its resizing? | 18:47 |
| fearlessdawg | farf probably | 18:47 |
| farf | ahh there we go, finished | 18:47 |
| BCampbell | shubbar, usually here but we are volunteers, so it may take some time to answer you | 18:47 |
| ichbinesderelch | KillerOrca: what graphic card do you have? | 18:47 |
| nyaa | hurray | 18:47 |
| mossmon | ubottu | 18:48 |
| farf | ok, restarting the install | 18:48 |
| starkmjolk | my question is, how do I calculate the values to use in fdisk from the output of gpart? | 18:48 |
| CrownAmbassador | Hi guys. How do I check what network card I have on my laptop? | 18:48 |
| Lorenzo | Okay, so what I actually have is Linksys USB200m network adapter. | 18:48 |
| valued_customer | Lemme try this again. Were can I find the "video=" option for the Live CD boot menu? Default and safe both give out of range errors. | 18:48 |
| === Stufkan is now known as stufkan | ||
| dougiel | CrownAmbassador, lspci | 18:48 |
| KillerOrca | ichbinesderelch: none, just an intergrated one, I used to be able to select more than 2 resolutions | 18:48 |
| CrownAmbassador | dougiel: okay thanks! | 18:48 |
| dougiel | CrownAmbassador, yw | 18:49 |
| farf | ok, dougiel, i want to use the entire disk? i just deleted the partition | 18:49 |
| ichbinesderelch | KillerOrca: changed anything in xorg.conf? maybe past it | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 18:49 |

| Rezzie | Is the bootchart web renderer down, and if so how can I render my bootchart.tgz log (offline or alternative renderers)? I have tried using a web browser and curl for online, and "java -jar bootchart.jar" and "java -cp bootchart.jar org.bootchart.Main" locally but neither work for offline rendering. | 18:49 |
| dougiel | farf, were you asking or telling? | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | energY: use xubuntu | 18:50 |
| lk | please, can someone tell me where to find source code for the command tee.c | 18:50 |
| Lorenzo | ASULutzy -- I don't know why I grabbed the wireless mouse adapter. Anyhow, it's a Linksys USB200M wireless adapter. | 18:50 |
| mossmon | Hi! i would make animations like i have a picture and then i move it on frames. That application should be free. Can anyone help me | 18:50 |
| farf | lol telling, just letting you know i deleted the old partitions | 18:50 |
| farf | its formatting the partitions now and puting ext3 on | 18:50 |
| ActionParsnip | lk: try: sudo apt-get install apt-file; sudo apt-file update; sudo apt-file search tee.c | 18:50 |
| KillerOrca | ichbinesderelch: nope, the last time I booted I just ran ushare, powered down and haven't done anything since now, doing an update so maybe that will do it | 18:50 |
| lk | thanks actionparsnip | 18:51 |
| fearlessdawg | mossmon: use GAP for GIMP i believe | 18:51 |
| ichbinesderelch | KillerOrca: you could paste your xorg.conf so we could take a look at it | 18:51 |
| dougiel | farf, good to go = can I go for a smoke now ? | 18:51 |
| dougiel | :) | 18:51 |
| KillerOrca | mossmon: try blender? | 18:51 |
| farf | lol no! | 18:51 |
| KillerOrca | ichbinesderelch: where is the file located again? /etc/usr/xorg? | 18:51 |
| farf | it might mess up while you're gone | 18:52 |
| farf | and then ill have a stroke | 18:52 |
| fearlessdawg | :) | 18:52 |
| ichbinesderelch | KillerOrca: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:52 |

| lonel | any idea why is that | 19:05 |
| ASULutzy | Krstnsn: check top for what's hogging up your resources maybe, also free -m output would be useful, and also installing iotop and checking that could show the culprit | 19:05 |
| plytheman | fearlessdawg: I've been in that thread, not that far up though... reading now, thanks | 19:06 |
| christian_ | ActionParsnip in the bootup doesn't show any important information to detect the error.. | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | christian_: thats a hardy kernel, i'd watch the bootup | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | christian_: or try dmesg | less | 19:07 |
| Krstnsn | ASULutzy, whats top? | 19:07 |
| fearlessdawg | lists the top process currently running | 19:07 |
| ASULutzy | Krstnsn: top is like a system monitor from command line | 19:07 |
| ASULutzy | can always type man top to learn more | 19:07 |
| fearlessdawg | CTRL-C to quit it once its runnning (i think) | 19:08 |

| ASULutzy | Krstnsn: pkill nameOfProcess, or alternatively do ps ax | grep nameOfProcess to get the pid, and then do kill pid | 19:09 |
| ASULutzy | Krstnsn: Don't run what fearlessdawg said | 19:09 |

| === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC | ||
| fearlessdawg | ASULutzy how come? | 19:10 |
| ASULutzy | fearlessdawg: Because, kill -9 is a sledgehammer for something that may only require a small nudge | 19:10 |
| ASULutzy | fearlessdawg: feel free to review man kill, but sending a process the KILL signal doesn't allow it to cleanup and die gracefully | 19:10 |
| ASULutzy | fearlessdawg: You want to try to send it TERM first | 19:10 |
| Krstnsn | as soon as i type "p" it says unknown command | 19:11 |
| bultiz | hey | 19:11 |
| ASULutzy | fearlessdawg, Krstnsn: Basically, kill pid tells the process to cleanup and die gracefully, kill -9 just shoots it in the face. | 19:11 |
| ASULutzy | Krstnsn: push 'q' to get out of top | 19:11 |
| ASULutzy | Krstnsn: then do pkill or kill | 19:11 |

| Pici | !root | Honksu | 20:47 |
| ubottu | Honksu: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:47 |

| detrate- | nope, wasn't cable | 21:26 |
| balrog__ | jarco: restart and the immediately play a music file and see if you still have the problem. if you do, then its most likely a driver issue. | 21:26 |

| ActionParsnip | algiz: after the update, you may need to flush the dns cache on the local client system so it can relearn the new ip | 21:28 |
| g0th | can anyone help me with that? | 21:28 |
| mike12 | i just updated my computer now it wont let me open synaptic manager or ad remove software. it wont even let me run what it says to run to fix the problem | 21:28 |

| Honksu | fuser It is compressed file. | 21:32 |

| Honksu | fuser Yuo must have donwloaded only the latest kernel patch. | 21:35 |
| fuser | i am on latest | 21:35 |
| kurrata | ActionParsnip: i want to konw what command was used to launch the process so i could read the man page for it | 21:35 |
| Honksu | fuser At kernel.org click the F letter at the 2.6.28.1 kernel line. | 21:35 |
| Honksu | fuser That gives you full kernel source. | 21:36 |
| fuser | what is the v and other letters for | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | kurrata: the ps -ef | grep <pid> will gve the name, which you can man | 21:36 |
| Honksu | fuser F = full source, B = patch baseline, V = view patch, VI = view incremental, C = current changesets | 21:37 |
| Rencx_ | if you have outside cd what is best file system to use on it? | 21:37 |
| Honksu | fuser so F is what you want | 21:37 |

| ActionParsnip | Ansrana: thats plenty of speed, servers tend to need more ram, raid 0+1 will help with speed (with redundancy) | 21:42 |
| guntbert | kurrata: ok, I like ps aux better anyway, try it once without the grep part, so you get a feeling for the output | 21:42 |
| === Rencx_ is now known as Rencx9 | ||
| Ansrana | ActionParsnip:ok thanks | 21:43 |
| nbeebo | raid 0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 ftw | 21:43 |
| Rencx9 | <quibbler> and on what file system i need install linux? | 21:43 |
| Krstnsn | is a process called "mount.ntfs" because im running wubi? | 21:43 |
| quibbler | Rencx9, if you are going to use it for linux when it has to be ext3 | 21:43 |
| linxeh | ActionParsnip: actually most decent raids will stripe reads on a mirror - so you get the read performance of striping but with the redundancy. some even stripe writes and buffer the mirror write for speed there too | 21:43 |
| Rencx9 | <quibbler> it will be the best one? | 21:44 |
| AbtZ | Krstnsn, seems likely | 21:44 |
| quibbler | Rencx9 | 21:44 |
| === stufkan is now known as Stufkan | ||
| ActionParsnip | linxeh: oh absolutely, but for 20 users, its enough | 21:45 |
| quibbler | Rencx9 yes | 21:45 |
| Rencx9 | <quibbler> and how big i need swap drive? | 21:45 |
| Honksu | ActionParsnip: Graphical interface works after installing the updates! LÖL | 21:45 |
| Krstnsn | abtz, should it stay running constantly? like ~10-20% CPU? | 21:45 |
| quibbler | Rencx9, 2x your ram ....1gig ram=2 gig swap partition | 21:46 |
| Rencx9 | <quibbler> i have ram 4GB so i need 8GB swap? | 21:46 |
| quibbler | Rencx9, yes | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Honksu: updates can fix a lot | 21:47 |
| techsuperfreak | rencx9: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/installation-guide/index.html | 21:47 |
| Rencx9 | <quibbler>nice :)) ty for your help, but one more my External HDD is Fat32 how format it on ubuntu? | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Rencx9: there is no best | 21:47 |
| AbtZ | Krstnsn, that seems a bit much. what kind of cpu do you have? | 21:48 |
| guntbert | quibbler: Rencx9: to my eyes 8GB swap is way too much | 21:48 |
| linxeh | ActionParsnip: I was just saying you can probably just get away with raid1 | 21:48 |
| Rencx9 | <ActionParsnip> about what? | 21:48 |
| === Stufkan is now known as stufkan | ||
| === bluelightningvid is now known as Guest98388 | ||
| linxeh | if its a decent raid :) | 21:48 |
| Rencx9 | <guntbert> what swap will do? | 21:48 |
| kurrata | Rencx: it will work like your ram when it runs outs | 21:48 |
| Krstnsn | abtz, centrino 1.6 m i believe | 21:49 |
| Rencx9 | <kurrata> if i have 4GB ram can it runs out?? | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Rencx9: you asked quibbler what file system linux will use and he answered then you asked if its the best one...there is no best | 21:49 |
| karsten | x86_64, kubuntu, I've got flashplugin-nonfree installed but man (most?) flash animations don't play in iceweasel. Am I missing something? | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Rencx9: each file system type has advantages and disadvantages but ext3 is the default | 21:50 |
| Rencx9 | <kurrata>of corse it can but it is big so swap can be smaler | 21:50 |
| Krstnsn | abtz, 1.6 GHz Intel Pentium M 730 | 21:50 |

| Rencx9 | <ActionParsnip> can you say what will be diference if i use NTFS or ext2? | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | karsten: you could try making a symlink to libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins | 21:50 |
| kurrata | Rencx: yes | 21:51 |
| Rencx9 | gunbert i am on notebook | 21:51 |
| karsten | ActionParsnip: The plugin works. Just not on all content. | 21:51 |
| brandon__ | any body know how download and install them because its does work on mine | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Rencx9: ntfs propogates permissions down through the filesystem, ext2 uses a file system so EVERY file has an owner and an access code | 21:51 |
| AbtZ | Krstnsn, i dont use wubi, so i dont know how effective it is... but it doesnt seem right to me. try killing the process and see what happens. :) | 21:51 |
| SeMi | Can someone here help me out? It's something super simple | 21:51 |
| karsten | ActionParsnip: I'd understand that if it was the free plugin (gnash)), but this doesn't make sense w/ Adobe's own Flash plugin. | 21:52 |
| brandon__ | any body know how download and install them because its does work on my laptop | 21:52 |
| guntbert | Rencx9: then I'd recommend swapspace = ram | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | karsten: strange, I installed it by copying the .so to the plugins folder and worked flawlessly, you could try that or reinstall the app | 21:52 |

| karsten | brandon__: wget or curl to fetch th e DEB. dpkg -i <file> | 21:52 |

| inertial | when i do a ./configure in ubuntu, it puts -Werror in the cflags of all the makefiles... how do i make it not put -Werror? | 22:10 |
| Lycus | Ubuntu 8.10 boots into BusyBox. Says no resume image found, what else should I be looking for/doing? I can't get into X. | 22:11 |
| nyaa | lycus: do you have grub installed? | 22:11 |
| Bitfish | inertial, you have to manually edit the Makefile | 22:11 |
| Lycus | nyaa: yes | 22:11 |
| inertial | Bitfish: but configure is inserting the -Werror into the makefile | 22:12 |
| olimpico | Can someone please tell me how to output the dmesg live to the shell? | 22:12 |
| promet | when I switch over to TTY 1 for instance with ctrl-alt-F1, the systems scrolls messages making the TTY hard to read and manage, is there a way to turn these messages off for all TTY screens? | 22:12 |
| nyaa | lycus: are ubuntu and busybox on the same partition? | 22:12 |
| Bitfish | inertial, yes, and Makefile calls this option, so you have to either edit the configure script, or the Makefile :) | 22:12 |
| Azazel-AZ | less /proc/dmesg? | 22:12 |
| olimpico | I'm having trouble with the diNovo Edge using intrepid | 22:13 |

| Lycus | nyaa: I don't know, I didn't install busybox knowingly, only did an automatic use entire disk install for ubuntu some months ago | 22:13 |
| Lycus | I would guess they are. | 22:13 |
| nyaa | lycus: so you installed busybox after ubuntu | 22:13 |
| promet | linxeh yeah | 22:13 |
| Azazel-AZ | dmseg | less | 22:13 |
| linxeh | promet: I think you can reconfigure syslog to stop that happening, its been a while since I bothered looking (I just use a different TTY) | 22:13 |
| nyaa | lycus: is that correct or no? | 22:13 |
| Lycus | nyaa: No, busybox boots-up right now and Ubuntu won't. | 22:13 |
| Lycus | I didn't install busybox, busybox is a part of Ubuntu afaik. | 22:13 |
| olimpico | Azazel-AZ: That doesn't update the dmesg automatically | 22:14 |
| inertial | Bitfish: ah i see.. it is nothing to do with ubuntu.. rather the configure script has its own checks for whether to include -Werror.. | 22:14 |
| nyaa | lycus: from what I'm seeing busybox is its own implemetation of linux, I'll send you a tell so I don't clog up the channel | 22:14 |
| promet | so linxeh, changing to different TTYs could be quiet? | 22:14 |
| Azazel-AZ | try this watch /whereeverdmesg file is/dmesg | tail -n 20 | 22:14 |
| olimpico | Azazel-AZ: I need dmesg to output any new lines to the shell live | 22:14 |

Two other laptops in the same house (both ubuntu 8.04) can access the router. This happened in connection with an unexpected loss of electricity. What is the problem? The router or the laptop? | 22:24 |

| ActionParsnip | olimpico: you could maybe find entrys for xorg.conf so that its configured there | 22:26 |
| glkasleg | frostburn: may it be a blocking on the laptop for this actual router? | 22:26 |
| Slart | aled: google for linux file hierarchy.. there is a good page somewhere about that | 22:26 |
| Slart | aled: my guess would be /usr/shared or similar | 22:26 |
| olimpico | ActionParsnip: The two links you gave me where from ubuntu 7.X and they couldn't even make it work. My problem is to pair it. I have to try sometimes for minutes, then it works perfectly | 22:27 |
| frostburn | glkasleg, i doubt it, you should be picking up the SSID regardless of any blocking done on the access point | 22:27 |

| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: you can install the .deb which will install it but its the win version with wine like stuff | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: are you 64 bit or 32 bit? | 22:46 |
| Slart | Lycus: huh? never seen that before.. but you don't have to mount it to check it.. in fact you shouldn't mount it | 22:46 |

| === nutella_ is now known as adac | ||
| Slart | Lycus: just find out what the drive is called... /dev/sda3 , /dev/sdc2 or something like that.. you can use gnome partition editor to look at drives | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: Absolutely not! This is just a proof of concept, for fun, and to showcase what Wine can do. Chromium itself is just beginning. As the Chromium project progresses, they will be providing more compelling support for Mac OS and Linux, particularly with process security and memory management. Those future versions from Chromium will be better suited for daily use than this version | 22:47 |

| ortsvorsteher | !cookie > ActionParsnip | 22:47 |
| ubottu | ActionParsnip, please see my private message | 22:48 |
| Slart | Lycus: ubuntu doesn't use the /dev/hdXn notation anymore.. all drives use the scsi interface so it's /dev/sdXn instead | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Lokiase: i prefer opera, but if you like firefox then use it | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ortsvorsteher: thanks :D | 22:48 |
| ortsvorsteher | :) | 22:48 |
| Lokiase | ActionParsnip: so you advice opera? | 22:48 |

| DIFH-iceroot | how to start a c-source-file directly from the shell? gcc test.c should return "hello world" but it is only working with gcc -o test test.c and then ./test | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | DIFH-iceroot: you can make a list of commands with &&s in between | 22:55 |
| Flannel | DIFH-iceroot: You have to compile, then run it. There's no way to do it all in a single command. (Unless your single command is gcc -o test test.c && ./test) | 22:55 |
| Slart | DIFH-iceroot: ehm.. you don't run c-files "directly from the shell".. if you want to do that you use python or something | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | DIFH-iceroot: gcc tect.c -o test && ./test | 22:55 |
| geonikus2534 | .. | 22:56 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ok thanks, that sounds ok, i mean something like kdevelop does, klick "run" and there is my string "hello world" but the command with && is ok too | 22:56 |
| Slart | DIFH-iceroot: gcc test.c only compiles the c-file into an executable | 22:56 |
| nyaa | have a good day! | 22:57 |
| Flannel | DIFH-iceroot: First kdevelop compiles (if needed), then runs it | 22:57 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Flannel: so kdevelop is using something like gcc -o test test.c && ./test | 22:57 |
| Flannel | DIFH-iceroot: For our purposes, yes. | 22:58 |
| SmokeyD | hey people. I still haven't solved the problem with login and permissions. somehow I don't have a+w on ~ and ~/.dmrc | 22:58 |
| Slart | DIFH-iceroot: you can combine several commands on the command line to make it run the generated executable.. but if you're thinking of learning programming I suggest you read up on what a compiler does.. | 22:58 |
| SmokeyD | but gnome still complains when logging in | 22:58 |
| SmokeyD | I already created another user and login using that one, and it works fine | 22:58 |
| public | this is ridiculous - I'm on and off the network constantly - is there any way to revert BACK to hardy? | 22:58 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Slart: i just though gcc can something like compile and run with one command | 22:59 |
| SmokeyD | I tried to find -type f -exec chmod 644 '{}' \; | 22:59 |
| SmokeyD | and the same with 755 for dirs, but no luch | 22:59 |
| SmokeyD | I am really baffled what is wrong | 22:59 |
| cwillu | use +X instead of +x! | 22:59 |
| Slart | DIFH-iceroot: that's not usually something you want to do.. so I doubt there is such a function | 22:59 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Slart: Flannel ActionParsnip thank you | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | SmokeyD: try sudo chown -R <username>:<username> /home/<username> | 23:00 |

| Flannel | theczar: In the debian method of configuration, they go in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ which then get symlinked to sites-enabled to enable them (via a2ensite) | 23:20 |
| Mimi | theczar, you might want to check at #ubuntu-server | 23:20 |
| irpapabear | hello all | 23:20 |

| gogereaver | Onidem check your config | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | theczar: thats where the file goes, thefile itself is the config of the server | 23:22 |
| Flannel | theczar: Well, /sitess-enabled/default has a virtualhost, so you can edit that, or add to it, or copy it orwhatnot | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | theczar: man httpd.conf | 23:23 |

| ActionParsnip | Ansrana: and who is uploading to you | 23:24 |
| rinja-sheep | Hello. I'm trying to create a encrypted partition -- However -- the command "sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda3" is CPU intensive and taking too long -- days, even. What's the fast way? I'm going to fill up the partition fast so I don't think I should be randomly concerned. | 23:24 |
| Ansrana | ok | 23:24 |
| Viper-Mode | robert__: ah you didnt specify that you had to have a Open Source web browser :) | 23:25 |
| gogereaver | robert__ you said a bad word | 23:25 |
| wolter | Ansrana, well yes, ActionParsnip is right: it depends on the torrent seeds (those who have the file complete and upload it to you) and the peers (people like you who just want to download the file) | 23:25 |
| kitche | robert__: no it's called ephiany or something like that | 23:26 |

| ge0rge007 | and are all innactive... | 23:27 |
| Ansrana | which type of video cards have best support in ubunut ati or nvidia ? | 23:27 |
| kitche | robert__: kind of I think Ubuntu doesn't install it by default hence why you never seen it in the menu | 23:28 |
| SmokeyD | how does gnome terminal determine the default shell for a user? | 23:28 |
| unused_bagels | ActionParsnip: no, adding the IRC server... | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | mezquitale: apt-cache search password | grep manager | less | 23:28 |
| SmokeyD | I had it at sh, and changed it to bash | 23:28 |
| robert__ | gogereaver, ahh comon they are not that bad it is no my OS of choice but they are not as bad as apple | 23:28 |
| SmokeyD | but gnome shell still gives me sh | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | unused_bagels: what client? | 23:28 |
| gogereaver | ge0rge007 well tell us the issue and i gues if someone has a answer they might pm | 23:28 |
| SmokeyD | although through ssh I get bash | 23:28 |
| ge0rge007 | ok | 23:28 |
| robert__ | kitche, well that would make sense | 23:28 |
| ratpoison | ActionParsnip: correction: NOT asking about how to install the drivers | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ratpoison: id imagine that link would help, otherwise maybe someone else can help. i always avoid ati | 23:28 |
| public | while I have a connection - am very dissapointed at non-LTS versions being unstable and no reference to such on the download pages. If it's not stable then say so. Not saying so has got to be the fastest way to alienate poeple. Am massively dissapointed that I have to re-install just to get an internet connection working properly. | 23:29 |
| mezquitale | ActionParsnip, i sort of wanted some feed back from user's personal experience | 23:29 |
| Gorthax | Ansrana: for ease of use, i would have to say nvidia | 23:29 |

| robert__ | ok so how do I partition a mounted usb drive? i did gksudo gparted and it will not let me delete this crappy fat32 partition | 23:31 |

| ge0rge007 | i have a usb headset connected to my computer and i have changed the settings so this will be used for communication.After i have done it i realized that with opera export the sound to my sound card (so i can hear from my speakers) but firefox export the sound at my headset.Can anyone help me? | 23:31 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ActionParsnip: the code is working, i am making a presentation about goto and want to show that with compiler can optimze the code or detect that int i=9; can never reached with an error, but the program is working without an error :( | 23:32 |
| public | Flannel - by googling it would appear that a number of people are suffering with Ibex not providing network connections. that's not stable. It's really frustrating, and it's not going to gert punters to stick with it. | 23:33 |

| DIFH-iceroot | ActionParsnip: i know goto is very bad i want to show why | 23:33 |
| draginxx | Anyone know why a script is doing this? automake: cherokee/Makefile.am: not supported: source file `getopt/gettext.h' is in subdirectory | 23:33 |

| Flannel | public: I'm unfortunately not familiar with the specifics of network connectivity in Intrepid, but have you checked launchpad for bugs on the issue? There may be a workaround there. | 23:34 |

| DIFH-iceroot | ActionParsnip: this example i have, i want to show that there are runtime-problems | 23:35 |
| public | thanks Flannel | 23:35 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ActionParsnip: and want to show compiler-optimation like const bool a=false; if(a){compiler should delete everything here} | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | DIFH-iceroot: so the i variable gets defined despite the goto command jumping it? | 23:37 |
| mrinehart93 | Hey guys how do I run a file ending with ".run" | 23:37 |

| redvamp128 | sh | 23:37 |
| mrinehart93 | thanks | 23:37 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ActionParsnip: i have found it, if i use gcc with cpp the compiler is telling me because of goto the int i=9; will never reached, but if i am using gcc with c its not telling this | 23:37 |

| rdw200169 | hvgotcodes: it has really exploded the package availability for ubuntu and debina | 23:40 |
| kitche | Milk_Rulz: by using synaptic or even aptitude | 23:40 |
| redvamp128 | mrinehart93: you may have to cd into that folder -- | 23:40 |

| Anonymous | I sudo apt-get removed xubuntu-desktop after installing xubuntu-desktop, but when I check sessions, xfce is still an option. I went into synaptic and removed anything xubuntu related. Should I remove xfce4 entries as well? | 23:42 |

| kitche | Milk_Rulz: well there is sun-java but you do know you have java installed already correct? | 23:42 |
| hvgotcodes | rdw200169: is it as simple as adding the repos to sources.list and then updating? | 23:42 |
| wfiuewfew | Hi! I have downgraded my kernel to 2.6.24. But the source code in /usr/src remains the 2.6.26 version. Can I downgrade this source as well? There is no synaptic library. | 23:42 |
| Milk_Rulz | from what I've read yes | 23:43 |
| redvamp128 | unused_bagels: system- preferences- then appearance then visual settings-- then turn off all effects | 23:43 |
| unused_bagels | oh, is that it? thanks redvamp 128 . There used to be a compiz configuration thingy, but now that I've upgraded, I see it's integrated now. | 23:43 |
