| Mimi | ensay looks like there is a lot of info there. I will read it, thank you :) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| topsub | hekaldama, that would be in the boot then | 00:00 |
| Infinito- | thanks gordonjcp nightrid3r I'll look into those | 00:00 |
| uzair | Hey all, I was trying to install Windows AFTER installing Linux, but was having problems. Can anyone help out? | 00:00 |
| gordonjcp | Brack101: if you stop ntpd and say "sudo ntpdate nw-time.nist.gov" does it update your time? | 00:00 |
| edi_99 | Hi all. I'm having trouble and I don't know why... When I try to i.e. record my guitar with Ardour I somethimes get this weird messages that Jack is used by another user and that I should check my audio settings? What do I have to do? | 00:00 |
| Infinito- | I want to run windows and then try running eclipse inside of windows :p | 00:00 |
| Infinito- | let's see how that goes :p | 00:00 |
| ensay | Infinito- -> you can run eclipse in linux | 00:00 |
| nightrid3r | uzair: firts windows and then linux is the best option | 00:00 |
| gordonjcp | Infinito-: why are you trying to run Eclipse in Windows? | 00:00 |
| Infinito- | yeah I know | 00:00 |
| Desu | Uzair, Install Linux AFTER Windows. | 00:01 |
| Infinito- | well | 00:01 |
| Mimi | So it doesn't crash every time you do something? | 00:01 |
| uzair | unfortunately, i've been using linux for a while and backing up all files, clearing the drive then reinstalling is a real pain :( | 00:01 |
| uzair | is there no way otherwise? | 00:01 |
| gordonjcp | Why are you running eclipse *at all* is a good enough question | 00:01 |
| Infinito- | I'm a flex developer, and the flex plugin for eclipse in windows has some desirable features | 00:01 |
| Infinito- | that linux plugin hasn't | 00:01 |
| gordonjcp | uzair: you could make a copy of your MBR, save it somewhere, then install Windows which will flatten the MBR with its own one | 00:02 |
| nightrid3r | uzair: windows will f*ckup your linux install anyway | 00:02 |
| gordonjcp | uzair: then write your Linux MBR back | 00:02 |
| Infinito- | and i don't wish to use windows for much else, anyhow.. | 00:02 |
| gordonjcp | uzair: have you got space partitioned for Windows? | 00:02 |
| step21 | hey ... on the wubi page it says still developers wanted for mubi, anyone know who might have an update on this? | 00:02 |
| gordonjcp | Infinito-: could you try running Eclipse in Wine? | 00:02 |
| Brack101 | gordonjcp: no...I guess it doesn't | 00:02 |
| uzair | not too worried about the mbr, i've already replaced that once. problem is that windows keeps thinking logical partitions are primaries and doesn't want to install otherwise | 00:02 |
| step21 | many ppl run eclipse on windows ... | 00:02 |
| step21 | should run o.k. | 00:02 |
| gordonjcp | Brack101: why not? | 00:02 |
| SkyLeach | Infinito-, you also have the option of running rdesktop to connect to a windows machine using the Windows RDP (remote desktop protocol) and/or VNC to connect to windows. I do not know if the hypervise stuff will virtualize windows, someone else will have to answer that or you can google it if you like. Gnerally, however, people that are doing this wish to run multiple operating systems at the same time. I find that it is a horrid user experience fo | 00:02 |
| SkyLeach | r a desktop system as graphics and audio are extremely limited since you are forced to use a limited-feature virtual driver. | 00:02 |
| Infinito- | gordonjcp, yeah I thought of that too | 00:03 |
| SkyLeach | woops | 00:03 |
| SkyLeach | that was a bit long :-) | 00:03 |
| Mimi | Hey, Ubuntu is based on debian unstable, right? | 00:03 |
| uzair | is there anyway to hide those partitions from windows? or perhaps just format an empty partition to ntfs and then let windows installer go from there | 00:03 |
| Brack101 | gordonjcp: can't resolve the host....I could have sworn that was a good one | 00:03 |
| hekaldama | topsub: one sec, on the phone sorry | 00:03 |
| gordonjcp | Brack101: well there's your answer ;-) | 00:03 |
| topsub | hekaldama, np | 00:03 |
| Infinito- | SkyLeach, no, that's not good for me.. I wanna have everything in my own machine :) | 00:03 |
| Brack101 | gordonjcp: was I doing it right? adding the entry to ntp.conf and restarting? | 00:03 |
| sll | hello | 00:04 |
| gordonjcp | Infinito-: I'm probably not best placed to advise on how to run Eclipse - I used it for an hour and then ditched it, and recently turned down a job because they used Eclipse | 00:04 |
| gordonjcp | Brack101: yup, with a good server name that should be fine | 00:04 |
| step21 | uzair: hiding works with some commercial software at least, not sure if parted supports it | 00:04 |
| SkyLeach | Infinito-, consider looking into the transgaming setup of Wine. It will run nearly any windows application including games with very good or even identical performance to windows for windows applications. | 00:04 |
| step21 | gordonjcp: you found it that bad? | 00:04 |
| Infinito- | omg gordonjcp , I prefer eclipse over any IDE | 00:04 |
| gordonjcp | step21: yes | 00:04 |
| uzair | step21: what if i format through parted before i go to install anything? can we just "skip" the partitioning step w/ windows? | 00:05 |
| step21 | at least they didn't use VS | 00:05 |
| gordonjcp | Infinito-: it uses Java, that's enough to put me off ;-) | 00:05 |
| Infinito- | SkyLeach, hmm will do | 00:05 |
| uzair | step21: format empty space to ntfs | 00:05 |
| sll | did anybody connect to a edirol V4 (video-mixer) via s-video correctly? I get blink lines and bad resolution, but connected to tv directly work fine. It seems beacause the signal can be to weak. Any suggestions? Thanks | 00:05 |
| step21 | uzair: no, you have to tell windows at least where to install | 00:05 |
| SkyLeach | Wine by itself is ok, but slow and not well supported. Transgaming, however, is very well supported and one can avoid the icky virtualization stuff (this is my honest opinion of user experience running virtualized desktop systems, others may differ). | 00:05 |
| Infinito- | java <3 | 00:05 |
| SkyLeach | and not too expensive either. | 00:05 |
| uzair | step21: yeah, that's fine, but it shouldn't complain then should it since it has a ntfs partition to work with? | 00:05 |
| step21 | gordonjcp: well, I have nothing against java anymore ... and some ppl coding C who can't memory manage should code more java ... | 00:06 |
| likemindead | Hello all. PCI Ethernet cards are pretty universally supported, right? | 00:06 |
| uzair | step21: i just don't get why windows doesn't see the partitions as extended/logical | 00:06 |
| uzair | lousy windows.....only cuz i need dreamweaver :'( | 00:06 |
| step21 | uzair: what does it say again? | 00:06 |
| nightrid3r | likemindead: yes | 00:06 |
| step21 | uzair: dreamweaver is epic fail btw ... just saying | 00:07 |
| uzair | step21: says there are too many partitions and then won't format | 00:07 |
| likemindead | I thought so. Unlike wireless cards... Thanks. | 00:07 |
| step21 | how many? | 00:07 |
| uzair | epic fail? what do you mean | 00:07 |
| frankS2 | uzair, learn how to use VIM and you never need dreamweaver again | 00:07 |
| SkyLeach | and when one considers the inclusion of the ntfs-3g drivers near complete support for NTFS now, one will find that all of the windows applicatoins and settings (from C:\Documents and Settings\username\AppData) and C:\Program Files can all be used by transgaming. | 00:07 |
| hekaldama | topsub: so end goal is to get your 750gb out of your Ubuntu | 00:07 |
| hekaldama | installation | 00:07 |
| Brack101 | gordonjcp: How can I check the current time via CLI? | 00:07 |
| hekaldama | so that you can have that storage space? | 00:07 |
| uzair | well, dell puts a restore partition (1), Extended partition has: (a)ubuntu 8.04 (b)ubuntu 8.10 (c)home (d)swap | 00:08 |
| stroyan | Brack101: date | 00:08 |
| hekaldama | "uninstall" as you were saying earlier | 00:08 |
| topsub | hekaldama, believe so, just remove ubuntu | 00:08 |
| topsub | hekaldama, yes correct | 00:08 |
| nite_johnboy | Is the Ibex " Create a USB startup disk " under System/Administration a (What is known as a) < Persistent install > ? ? | 00:08 |
| hekaldama | okay | 00:08 |
| uzair | technically, 2 primary partitions (one by dell, the is the extended), but windows sees all as primary | 00:08 |
| topsub | hekaldama, i have misplaced my win xp pro cd | 00:08 |
| hekaldama | one test I would do, is just boot with the windows drive in there | 00:08 |
| tritium | nite_johnboy: only if you select the persistent home directory | 00:08 |
| hekaldama | see if that works | 00:08 |
| topsub | k i will try that now | 00:09 |
| hekaldama | if that does | 00:09 |
| hekaldama | set boot priority in BIOS | 00:09 |
| hekaldama | boot the xp hdd | 00:09 |
| hekaldama | then in disk manager or whatever it is | 00:09 |
| Mimi | !enter | hekaldama | 00:09 |
| ubottu | hekaldama: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:09 |
| hekaldama | format the drive | 00:09 |
| s3a | how do u cross out text in openoffice.org? | 00:09 |
| hekaldama | is that a bot? | 00:09 |
| lollasd | does the order in whcih I create partitions matter? | 00:09 |
| step21 | uzair: then maybe all are primary and the parition utility fucked up? or some corruption? any way to check / fix part tables? | 00:10 |
| hekaldama | interesting, okay, thanks ubottu | 00:10 |
| tritium | !language | step21 | 00:10 |
| ubottu | step21: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 00:10 |
| Mimi | ubottu says you're welcome | 00:10 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:10 |
| step21 | sry ... | 00:10 |
| hekaldama | nice | 00:10 |
| step21 | lol | 00:10 |
| topsub | hekaldama, with just my windows hard drive i get " GRUB loading, please wait... Error 21" | 00:10 |
| step21 | at least I didn't get insta-banned | 00:10 |
| topsub | hekaldama, so it seems i need to my windows xp cd | 00:10 |
| step21 | reinstal grub | 00:10 |
| nite_johnboy | tritium; can you give a little info on that to point me in the right direction - I tried this already with a 16gb usb and only had about 2.5 to gigs left - so must have missed somewhere along the way. thanks | 00:11 |
| redvamp128 | command to tell the exact version of ubuntu installed | 00:11 |
| gordonjcp | now can anyone suggest a way of running a -rt kernel with the NVidia binary drivers? | 00:11 |
| hekaldama | topsub: seems that way, any other thoughts from others is appreciated | 00:11 |
| jussi01 | !version | redvamp128 | 00:11 |
| ubottu | redvamp128: 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> » | 00:11 |
| hekaldama | but I would say, you will need it | 00:11 |
| uzair | step21: i did that once already with a utility called testdisk | 00:11 |
| step21 | hey nice, found the one and only ubuntu forums post about lupin for mac ... | 00:11 |
| === naptastic is now known as naptastic| | ||
| _Vi_ | How long does it take to dd copy a 40gig hdd anyone know? There's only Xubuntu on it with like maybe 2-3 gigs of stuff ive added | 00:11 |
| step21 | _Vi_: depends on method of copying ... | 00:12 |
| fosco_ | redvamp128: is it a question? | 00:12 |
| hekaldama | topsub: hope that helps, I am afk for now | 00:12 |
| _Vi_ | step21, its being copied to a USB 2 hdd | 00:12 |
| gordonjcp | uzair: *no-one* needs Dreamweaver | 00:12 |
| uzair | lol | 00:12 |
| uzair | any alternatives (aside from notepad like utils)? | 00:13 |
| step21 | uzair: back up everything, next time make sure your partition utility works nicer? | 00:13 |
| redvamp128 | I need to help this guy figure out if he is running 32bit Intrepid or 64bit | 00:13 |
| step21 | uzair: what do you want to do with DW? | 00:13 |
| uzair | true enough, i guess i'll have to do it the ol fashion way......STUPID MICROSOFT! | 00:13 |
| Mimi | uzair, alternatives in Ubuntu? Does it have to be WYSIWYG? | 00:13 |
| nightrid3r | redvamp128: uname -a | 00:13 |
| uzair | makes things faster | 00:13 |
| Cpudan80 | uzair: The only thing is NVU | 00:13 |
| uzair | for web | 00:14 |
| Cpudan80 | !info NVU | uzair | 00:14 |
| ubottu | Package NVU does not exist in intrepid | 00:14 |
| step21 | uzair: srsly? | 00:14 |
| Cpudan80 | :-( | 00:14 |
| gordonjcp | uzair: no-one doing serious web design uses dreamweaver | 00:14 |
| _Vi_ | NVU is outdated, now its Kompozer | 00:14 |
| Cpudan80 | uzair: well it might not be called NVU anymore | 00:14 |
| step21 | dreamweaver will make your code ugly and by definition slower ... | 00:14 |
| Mimi | Dreamweaver works in wine | 00:14 |
| uzair | i tried komposer | 00:14 |
| uzair | no luck with that -- kept crashing :( | 00:14 |
| Mimi | help don't preach?!?! | 00:14 |
| uzair | was about to try nvu, never heard of srsly | 00:14 |
| step21 | well, we can't help him reinstall his windows | 00:14 |
| _Vi_ | yeah Kompozer has a tenedency to crash if you open a menu up or sneeze the wrong way :/ | 00:14 |
| uzair | rofl _Vi_ | 00:15 |
| gordonjcp | uzair: some of the best sites I've ever seen have been done in Textmate ;-) | 00:15 |
| uzair | it's so true | 00:15 |
| Cpudan80 | uzair: it's older kompozer apparently | 00:15 |
| Mimi | uzair, oh no... that stinks! Well, http://kompozer.net/screenshots.php is not too bad, but there's really not many wysiwyg apps sadly :( | 00:15 |
| uzair | Cpudan80, which one? | 00:15 |
| frankS2 | uzair, you should learn vim ;) | 00:15 |
| _Vi_ | GOOD news!! though,,, kompozer works just fine in WINE :) | 00:15 |
| Cpudan80 | uzair: nvu = outdated kompozer | 00:15 |
| Mimi | gordonjcp, that's because all the hipsters are using it :P grrr RoR! | 00:15 |
| frankS2 | if adobe ported theyre products to linux | 00:16 |
| frankS2 | that would really be something | 00:16 |
| gordonjcp | uzair: done in gedit on Ubuntu -> http://www.bioreliance.com/ | 00:16 |
| uzair | problem is i'm not a hardcore web guy -- more into networking/messing around with os's. having to help out someone with web stuff and messing around with css files in text utils is really tiresome and painstaking | 00:16 |
| gordonjcp | uzair: done in Dreamweaver -> http://www.bioreliance.com/about_us_intro.html | 00:16 |
| Mimi | CS4 works! Photoshop CS4 works great for me | 00:16 |
| _Vi_ | franki^, and if they make Adobe opensource that would even be better :) | 00:16 |
| Ahmuck | !mp3 | 00:16 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 00:16 |
| gordonjcp | uzair: if you're not a serious web guy, you'll probably find it easier to edit stuff in just a plain text editor ;-) | 00:17 |
| Mimi | frankS2, theyre not porting, but they're making BIG efforts to make sure their software works in Wine | 00:17 |
| DI3GO | HI | 00:17 |
| uzair | true enough. so i'll take a look at some of this stuff and see how well it works out | 00:17 |
| Mimi | Hey | 00:17 |
| uzair | thx for all the help guys | 00:17 |
| frankS2 | Mimi, really? why not port it then :p | 00:17 |
| uzair | sup DI3GO | 00:17 |
| step21 | <!-- #EndTemplate --> | 00:17 |
| Mimi | frankS2, bad economy, they don't want to pay for too many (or good) programmers! | 00:18 |
| uzair | alrighty, about to go wipe my harddrive off....thanks to Mr. Gates | 00:18 |
| Mimi | xD | 00:18 |
| uzair | cheers | 00:18 |
| purvesh | Mimi:do u know how 2 change grub 2 boot my windows os on ubuntu8.10 | 00:18 |

| Mimi | purvesh, if that's what you want, yes, I have done it before | 00:19 |
| uzair | really interesting way to run win apps on linux | 00:19 |
| Mimi | purvesh, this guide is pretty good: http://beconfused.com/2008/02/12/how-to-make-windows-vista-boot-first-using-grub-in-ubuntu/ | 00:19 |
| yabuk | I can't install ubuntu on a laptop with a sata hd, changed the options of bios in many ways, but ubuntu doesn't start, does anyone know how to fix it? (I've instaled ubuntu for free in my city, but many laptops have this problems). I already tried ubuntu alternate | 00:20 |
| Bllasae | When I go to "Preferences"- "Main Menu", when I select the folders to put on the main menu, the checkmarks always uncheck themselves | 00:20 |
| Mimi | uzair, yup, I run Windows in Virtual Box , and WOW is it fast?! :) | 00:20 |
| step21 | bye guys, need sleep | 00:20 |
| purvesh | Mimi:not i want 2 both linux windows but right now only linux is booting | 00:20 |
| Mimi | gnight | 00:20 |
| uzair | not sure | 00:20 |
| jrib | yabuk: what exactly happens? Did you run "check the cd for defects" from the cd's boot menu? | 00:20 |
| ensay | yabuk -> once you installed and rebooted, it does not boot up? | 00:21 |
| Jimi__Hendrix | anyone? | 00:21 |
| myke | hey guys i have a question how do i extract a .tar.gz to a certain directory ? like when its hidden for instance it says extract it to .cairo-dock/themes in my home folder | 00:21 |
| uzair | Mimi: that way seems to be running as a service, i guess it'd be faster than running a full fledge gui | 00:21 |
| jrib | myke: -C, see « man tar » | 00:21 |
| Mimi | uzair, o_o Nice! *reads the rest now* | 00:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | myke, It may not answer your question , but why are you not using cairo dock from our repos | 00:22 |
| myke | is that the command of are you telling me to look at something called man tar | 00:22 |
| inkvizitor68sl | hi all | 00:22 |
| uzair | Mimi: i was trying to get it to run on a server and see if clients can use the windows stuff -- but that's all beyond me xD | 00:22 |
| ensay | myke -> man tar | 00:22 |
| myke | jack_sparrow im trying to install a theme for it , that makes it look right on my netbook "msi wind" | 00:22 |
| inkvizitor68sl | are anyone know stable jabber->icq transports ? | 00:22 |
| jrib | myke: -C is the switch you want to use. « man tar » has the details | 00:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | myke, Good enough answer for me | 00:22 |
| arnaldocapo | sup people | 00:23 |
| MattJ | inkvizitor68sl: Take a look at http://jabberes.org/servers/ | 00:23 |
| uzair | Mimi: if you know this stuff well, perhaps you can help me out w/ my lil problem on UF (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6593545&postcount=5) | 00:23 |
| myke | ok so in terminal i would type "sudo ###.tar.gz -c man tar | 00:23 |
| myke | \? | 00:23 |
| inkvizitor68sl | MattJ: many transports died because AOL...hm.. <censored> | 00:23 |
| _Vi_ | no myke 'man tar' | 00:23 |
| _Vi_ | no quotes | 00:23 |
| inkvizitor68sl | all transports at .ru zone | 00:24 |
| avantcore | hmm so I'm trying to set up an external monitor to work with my laptop using fglrx | 00:24 |
| yabuk | I've checked cd for defects, the live cd show its firt menu (start ubuntu...; install ubuntu...; check cd...), but it doesn't work after I use "install ubuntu" or "teste ubuntu" | 00:24 |
| avantcore | I used the command aticonfig --initial=dual-head --dtop=horizontal | 00:24 |
| MattJ | inkvizitor68sl: Then I'm sorry I have no idea (haven't used ICQ for a long time) | 00:24 |
| uzair | lol "ahmuk" | 00:24 |
| myke | i just type man tar in terminal? lol sorry i know i seem retarded but im primarily a osx user and wanted to try something different .. i somewhat get linux commands lol | 00:24 |
| avantcore | and that kinda works, I get the two screens at the correct resolutions, but gnome doesn't seem to start properly, no toolbars and right clicking on the desktop does nothing | 00:24 |
| avantcore | does anybody know why that would be? | 00:24 |
| jrib | yabuk: what does "doesn't work" mean? Don't use that phrase. Instead, explain what happens | 00:25 |
| Mimi | ah uzair my knowledge is REALLY basic. Specially when it comes to "server" stuff | 00:25 |
| inkvizitor68sl | and second questions.... where there are bemused files now? | 00:25 |
| yabuk | ensay: since the live and alternate cd doesn't work, I can't install | 00:25 |
| jrib | myke: yes, « man tar » shows you the manual. I've already told you the switch you want to use is -C | 00:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yabuk, If you try ctrl-alt-F2 after it seems to lock up and the drive stops do you get a terminal windoe | 00:25 |
| uzair | oops, just msg'd | 00:25 |
| yabuk | I've found this problem in action and positivo laptops | 00:25 |
| uzair | Mimi: lol, np. perhaps we can learn together ;) | 00:25 |
| gordonjcp | uzair: what's the problem? | 00:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !who > yabuk | 00:26 |
| ubottu | yabuk, please see my private message | 00:26 |
| inkvizitor68sl | what happened with bemused.sourceforge ? | 00:26 |
| ensay | yabuk -> so what were you using to install? | 00:26 |

| _Vi_ | its being copied to a usb 2 hdd gordonjcp | 00:27 |
| gordonjcp | _Vi_: but is it actually attached as USB2? | 00:28 |
| uzair | basically, a guy got win apps running on linux through vmware running as a service. i was hoping to do that as well, however have it run on a server and have clients be able to connect to it | 00:28 |
| gordonjcp | _Vi_: also, how are you copying it? | 00:28 |
| _Vi_ | im hoping so | 00:28 |
| yabuk | ensay, jack_Sparrow, jrib: ok, I'll explain it better. | 00:28 |
| _Vi_ | gordonjcp, im using dd | 00:28 |
| gordonjcp | _Vi_: dd will copy the *whole disk* | 00:28 |
| _Vi_ | i know | 00:28 |
| Mimi | purvesh, are you looking at the grub guide I sent you? If so, everything going alright? | 00:28 |
| gordonjcp | _Vi_: blank bits will be copied verbatim | 00:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gordonjcp, or a partition | 00:28 |
| _Vi_ | that's what i wan | 00:28 |
| inertial | how do i get the time to update via ntp on the command line? | 00:28 |
| MethinX | what is the best music format to use in Ubuntu Intrepid? And what is the best media player to use that is Light weight? | 00:29 |
| gordonjcp | Jack_Sparrow: or a partition, yes | 00:29 |
| gordonjcp | _Vi_: how big *in total* is the thing you're copying? | 00:29 |
| _Vi_ | gordonjcp, it copies blank parts too?! | 00:29 |
| _Vi_ | 40 gig | 00:29 |
| uzair | MethinX: i personally love mplayer -- it's a command line tool, however really powerfull | 00:29 |
| gordonjcp | _Vi_: it copies *the whole thing*, that's sort of the point | 00:29 |
| _Vi_ | ... | 00:29 |
| MethinX | thank you uzair | 00:29 |
| gordonjcp | _Vi_: how would it know not to copy the blank bits? It's making an image of the disk - it's a perfect copy | 00:29 |
| uzair | np | 00:29 |
| _Vi_ | right | 00:30 |
| _Vi_ | makes sense | 00:30 |
| gordonjcp | uzair: tbh I know nothing about Windows | 00:30 |
| jrib | myke: no, it's usually /home/USERNAME | 00:30 |
| MethinX | is there a website with commands to help with the mplayer expieience? | 00:30 |
| _Vi_ | gordonjcp, so that a side, how long would you estimate it? | 00:30 |
| gordonjcp | _Vi_: you'll be there all night | 00:30 |
| _Vi_ | wonderful | 00:30 |
| uzair | MethinX, their site is probably the best resource, however man pages are good enough to start | 00:30 |
| gordonjcp | _Vi_: do "ls -lh /name/of/destination/file" | 00:30 |
| _Vi_ | gordonjcp, can i safely cancle it? | 00:30 |
| gordonjcp | oh yeah | 00:30 |
| gordonjcp | _Vi_: but like I say, do ls -lh on the file you're creating and see how big it is | 00:31 |
| MethinX | uzair thanks | 00:31 |
| uzair | welcome | 00:31 |
| uzair | MethinX have you found their site? | 00:31 |
| nite_johnboy | can some list the site where you can ask a question of ubottu? | 00:32 |

| xscottx3 | hi I have a quick question and wondering if anyone could help | 00:32 |
| uzair | xscottx3, we can try | 00:33 |
| stroyan | gordonjcp: ls will only tell the size of _Vi_'s copied part if he is copying to a file. It won't show how far dd has gotten copying to a partition. | 00:33 |
| xscottx3 | how would I go about seeing who is using my wireless internet using the terminal? | 00:33 |
| booksbuggy | my computer has a c-media mixer sound card | 00:33 |
| xscottx3 | is it possible? | 00:33 |
| sysdoc | Anyone know how to enable accent marks to letters in Ubuntu | 00:33 |
| booksbuggy | and it is not working | 00:33 |
| gordonjcp | stroyan: yes | 00:33 |
| gordonjcp | _Vi_: are you copying to a file, or a partition? | 00:33 |
| booksbuggy | well no sound is playing to be exact | 00:33 |
| _Vi_ | to a partition | 00:33 |
| uzair | lol, wireless & terminal are two things which i never got working together.....well, just once actually | 00:34 |
| gordonjcp | xscottx3: that would be more to do with your wireless access point | 00:34 |
| _Vi_ | gordonjcp, it just finsihed | 00:34 |
| _Vi_ | finished* | 00:34 |
| uzair | xscottx3: lol, you could try links ;) | 00:34 |
| gordonjcp | _Vi_: well aren't you glad you didn't abort it | 00:34 |
| xscottx3 | ok, so as a I am connect wirelessly to the router I would not be able to find this information? | 00:34 |
| _Vi_ | :) | 00:34 |
| gordonjcp | xscottx3: it depends on the wireless router | 00:34 |
| * _Vi_ goes to check the damage... ill keep you posted gordonjcp one sec heh :/ | 00:35 | |
| CyL | What would be a good application for burning .cue images? | 00:35 |
| gordonjcp | xscottx3: perhaps your router has a web page you can look at to tell you who is connected | 00:35 |
| uzair | xscottx3: just go to router settings, normally you do this through browser > router ip > dhcp clients | 00:35 |
| gordonjcp | CyL: cdrdao | 00:35 |
| gordonjcp | xscottx3: if you're feeling particularly hardcore your router might expose this through SNMP | 00:35 |
| === Bllasae is now known as Bllasae|Tropico | ||

| uzair | there's a terminal based browser called links -- it might work :) | 00:36 |
| CyL | gordonjcp: is cdrdao able to burn discs with a big .ape files and a cue? | 00:36 |
| gordonjcp | CyL: no idea | 00:36 |
| myke | hey guys i extracted the file but how would i open the folder in xubuntu? i extracted it to /myke/.cairo-dock/themes | 00:36 |
| CyL | gordonjcp: thanks | 00:36 |
| booksbuggy | xscottx3: snmp is "simple network mail protocol" if you are asking about networks | 00:36 |
| gordonjcp | xscottx3: SNMP is Simple Network Management Protocol | 00:36 |

| Res2216firestar | Please correct this from the partitioning menu. | 01:08 |
| lstarnes | Res2216firestar: you need to define a filesystem which uses / as its mount point | 01:08 |
| bazhang | Res2216firestar, this is from live cd or from within windows | 01:08 |

| Res2216firestar | wubi, windows | 01:09 |
| booksbuggy | gordonjcp: i checked the cable | 01:09 |
| bazhang | Res2216firestar, so define the mountpoint | 01:09 |

| mindframe | what is the problem with CMI8738 soundcard chips in ubuntu? I keep having problems where the sound card cant be accessed and the only way to fix it is to reboot. audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. | 01:13 |
| booksbuggy | mindframe: just a curious question did window try to install c-media mixer for that sound card? | 01:14 |
| Fishscene | I have created a directory called, "/vmfiles/vm" However, if I go into the vmfiles directory and run "ls" it does not display the vm directory. But I can still navigate to /vmfiles/vm. Any ideas why vm does not show up in ls? | 01:14 |
| mindframe | booksbuggy, i have no idea, never used windows with this card... its well supported in linux | 01:15 |
| booksbuggy | oh | 01:15 |
| gmm46 | I wanted to watch my youtube videos and I have had previous problems with firefox so i installed opera but now when I go to youtube my videos don't show up. What is wrong? | 01:15 |
| PC_Nerd1 | Hi, is there a notepad++ alternative for ubuntu/linux? (Im aware of a range of ide's liek netbeans and codeblocks etc - but a multi-language one ( specifically php, C++) ? | 01:15 |

| booksbuggy | mindframe: but older version | 01:15 |
| warlord420 | hey guys. i need some help with newest version of ubuntu. can soemone help | 01:15 |
| Fishscene | !askk > warlord420 | 01:16 |

| Fishscene | bah humbug | 01:16 |
| h00k | !ask | warlord420 | 01:16 |
| ubottu | warlord420: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:16 |
| warlord420 | okay so i just reintalled it.... and i unchcked install boot loader... i hate the boot loader since im just trying to learn it. is there a way of putting ubuntu on windows loader? if no, how can i install the boot loader | 01:16 |
| gkhnoisgtht | PC_Nerd1: they provide the source for notepad ++, why don't you try to compile it? or port it over to ubuntu | 01:16 |
| linuxman410_ | does anyone here use realplayer 11 | 01:17 |
| gmm46 | I wanted to watch my youtube videos and I have had previous problems with firefox so i installed opera but now when I go to youtube my videos don't show up. What is wrong? | 01:17 |
| booksbuggy | mindframe: are you using gnome desktop? | 01:17 |
| gordonjcp | PC_Nerd1: gedit? | 01:17 |
| Fishscene | gmm46, do you have flashplayer installed? | 01:17 |
| mindframe | yes booksbuggy | 01:17 |
| gordonjcp | PC_Nerd1: what does notepad++ do? | 01:17 |
| booksbuggy | okay you can try pulse audio device chooser | 01:18 |
| h00k | gordonjcp -> http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm | 01:18 |
| mindframe | booksbuggy, ive tried pulse, alsa, and oss | 01:18 |
| booksbuggy | oh | 01:18 |
| gkhnoisgtht | gordonjcp its an editor, does just about everything | 01:18 |
| booksbuggy | mindframe: then i don't know >.< | 01:18 |
| afroken | cananyone help with sound problem on intrepid? | 01:18 |
| booksbuggy | mindframe: i always let the system choose | 01:18 |
| PC_Nerd1 | gkhnoisgtht: gedit is ok, im using it for the time beign. | 01:18 |
| PC_Nerd1 | notpad++ is similar in many ways to gedit, but its got really nice syntax highlighting, easy language change, customisable syntax colors, and its jsut really nice to use. | 01:18 |
| warlord420 | anybody? | 01:19 |
| Fishscene | I have created a directory called, "/vmfiles/vm" However, if I go into the vmfiles directory and run "ls" it does not display the vm directory. But I can still navigate to /vmfiles/vm. Any ideas why vm does not show up in ls? | 01:19 |

| gordonjcp | if it's GPLed then you've got the source, you can probably port it to Linux | 01:19 |
| mindframe | booksbuggy, is there any way to re-initiate sound so that i dont have to reboot to fix this crap? | 01:19 |
| gkhnoisgtht | PC_Nerd1: there really is only minor differences between the two | 01:19 |
| gordonjcp | PC_Nerd1: I use gedit for everything now - I used to use kdevelop, and anjuta, and various other things | 01:19 |
| linuxman410_ | does anyone use real player 11 everytime i try to play real player file movie player opens | 01:19 |
| Res2216firestar | Could I get instructions to create a partition? | 01:20 |
| booksbuggy | mindframe: googling it right now i just started using this thing 1 year ago >.< | 01:20 |
| gordonjcp | PC_Nerd1: what specifically do you need from notepad++, that gedit doesn't have? | 01:20 |
| PC_Nerd1 | gordonjcp: ok, ill stick with gedit then | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxman410_: right click file -> open with nd teach your system | 01:20 |

| PC_Nerd1 | dntwry found it :P | 01:22 |
| gordonjcp | PC_Nerd1: can't remember and I don't have a GUI running just now - it's in preferences *somewhere* | 01:22 |

| booksbuggy | not right now | 01:24 |
| guedesav | it seems I can't connect to it even without encryption... what sounds very weird, actually | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | afroken | 01:25 |
| ubottu | afroken: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:25 |
| booksbuggy | mindframe: you can try to use pulse audio | 01:25 |
| booksbuggy | and see if the configuration on mine works on yours | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: if you have zero sound, run lspci to identify your sound card, you can then websearch from there | 01:26 |
| jp_sf | w33d5: top -b -n 1 > foo.txt | 01:26 |
| afroken | ActionParsnip, thank you ! just what i needed! however i dont have a volume control (xfce) -is there another way to do it? | 01:26 |
| mindframe | booksbuggy, heh ive tried every sound configuration combination in the sound preferences | 01:26 |
| mindframe | always the same result | 01:26 |
| booksbuggy | mindframe: well i do system defaults | 01:27 |
| mindframe | autodetect? | 01:27 |
| booksbuggy | yes | 01:27 |
| booksbuggy | something like that | 01:27 |
| booksbuggy | except in pulse audio | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: use xfce4-mixer | 01:27 |
| booksbuggy | mindframe: the last time i reinstalled this system because i accidently installed some updates that i am not suppose to be using | 01:27 |
| w33d5 | jp: thanks | 01:28 |
| afroken | ActionParsnip, the problem is that I lost the sound after kernel update , is there a way to unroll the updates? i also got kernel panic on the new kernel and now using the old kernel but still no sound... | 01:28 |
| booksbuggy | mindframe: and i always start looking inside of the forum first | 01:28 |
| jp_sf | w33d5: you're welcome, next step would be using sar for detailled logs of your system it is in sysutils package (I think) | 01:29 |
| gmm46 | is there any cheat program like the windows xp "Cheat Engine" for linux? | 01:29 |
| jp_sf | gmm46: what is cheat engine ? what does it do ? | 01:29 |
| w33d5 | ok one more - so i want to install LXDE to use remotely "ssh -C -X user@host lxde " should i install the "meta-package" or "common" | 01:29 |
| mindframe | ttols, lol @ ur name | 01:30 |
| w33d5 | i want LXDE to be as lightweight as possible | 01:30 |
| onthefence928 | how do i such down X on ubuntu 8.10? | 01:30 |
| onthefence928 | shut down* | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: you can reboot then press esc to show the installed kernels and boot to the older kernel | 01:30 |
| w33d5 | ctrl alt backspace does somehting | 01:31 |
| booksbuggy | onthefence928, you mean completely shut down | 01:31 |
| w33d5 | special | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: you will find yuo need to install / configure the sound card to work under the new kernel | 01:31 |
| afroken | ActionParsnip, i'm using the older kernel,,,,but still no sound | 01:31 |
| afroken | its very strange | 01:31 |
| booksbuggy | onthefence928, without the computer still running after the system halts? | 01:31 |
| nite_johnboy | What is the shell command to make an .ISO image of CD in DVD/Burner combo drive? | 01:31 |
| onthefence928 | booksbuggy: i think i need drop my GUI for the installation of this driver | 01:32 |
| booksbuggy | oh | 01:32 |
| ConstantineXVI | I seem to have screwed up my x11 setup. how do i reset it? | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: maybe something else got updated too, i'd look at setting up the card as if it never worked and it should be ok | 01:32 |
| matisse | Is there a way to download the sent mails (which were sent via web interface) ? | 01:33 |
| afroken | ActionParsnip, I wonder if i should work on getting the new kernel running or forget about and focus on the sound? | 01:33 |
| bebin | hi everyone low sound in speaker and no sound in headphone help please | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ConstantineXVI: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:33 |
| jp_sf | nite_johnboy: you could cat your Cdrom into an .iso | 01:33 |
| booksbuggy | onthefence928, i think this might work:http://theos.in/news/ubuntu-linux-shutdown-the-x-server/ | 01:33 |
| nightrid3r | matisse: depends on the webmail | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: if you boot to the newest kernel and read through: dmesg | less | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: it may give some clues | 01:34 |
| matisse | nightrid3r: is IMAP essential? | 01:34 |
| jp_sf | nite_johnboy: the most common command would dd if=/dev/cdrom of=foo.iso | 01:34 |
| booksbuggy | onthefence928, i have never tried to shutdown xserver | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | ConstantineXVI: run that comand then restart x (ctrl + alt + backspace) | 01:34 |
| nightrid3r | matisse: no if your webmail also supports pop3 it will work | 01:34 |
| afroken | ActionParsnip, the new kernel boots to kernel panic i get no access to terminal, something like VFS can't mount blocks or something... | 01:34 |
| Cpudan80 | bebin: open your mixer settings | 01:35 |
| Cpudan80 | bebin: right click the speaker icon near the clock open vol control | 01:35 |
| afroken | ActionParsnip, would you recommend focusing on the new kernel of ignoring it and just getting the sound working? | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: then i'd get an fsck in there, boot to root console from recovery mode and check them out | 01:35 |
| bebin | ok | 01:35 |
| gmm46 | gtg | 01:35 |
| gmm46 | bye | 01:35 |
| Cpudan80 | bebin: hit preferences - check PCM | 01:35 |
| w33d5 | whats the ipconfig equiv in linux? | 01:35 |
| Cpudan80 | bebin: then crank it up | 01:35 |
| matisse | nightrid3r: then how do I find out, if it works? | 01:36 |
| jp_sf | w33d5, ifconfig | 01:36 |
| afroken | ActionParsnip, fsck from recovery? | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: up to you entirely, if you were happy with the old kernel, use it, if you think the new one will improve your system , do that | 01:36 |
| w33d5 | jp: thanks | 01:36 |
| jp_sf | !ifconfig | ubottu | 01:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ifconfig | 01:36 |
| afroken | ActionParsnip, was happy with the old one... | 01:36 |
| nightrid3r | matisse: ask your mail provider | 01:36 |
| Cpudan80 | bebin: I wouldnt go up to 100% on the PCM mixer, it might distort the sound -- prob 80% | 01:36 |
| * jp_sf 0-0 | 01:36 | |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: show gub screen, select recovery mode for your desired kernel then choose root console | 01:36 |
| afroken | ActionParsnip, ok, then fsck? | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: you will then have to umount the partitions and you can then fsck them | 01:36 |
| matisse | nightrid3r: good answer :D | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | fsck /dev/partition name | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: sudo fdisk -l will show you all partitions | 01:37 |
| bebin | Cpudan80: yes i did it but no effect | 01:37 |
| Cpudan80 | bebin: try the different mixers | 01:37 |
| afroken | ActionParsnip, btw- how will fsck help my sound problem? | 01:37 |
| ConstantineXVI | there we go, whoever helped me | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | afroken: you are getting errors about mountings failing, sounds like a drive issue to me | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ConstantineXVI: np man ;) | 01:38 |

| ConstantineXVI | Funqhaus, as in USB harddrive? | 01:40 |
| Cpudan80 | Anyone know how to save an mplayer stream? | 01:40 |
| Cpudan80 | Like a movie is playing in mplayer -- how do you save it... | 01:40 |
| jrib | Cpudan80: search for -dump in « man mplayer » | 01:40 |
| bebin | Cpudan80: speakers has a low volume but headphone has none | 01:41 |
| afroken | ActionParsnip, one more question, lspci says my card is Intel Corporation 82801G , how do i know what driver i need? the wiki said to look here: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Intel but... | 01:41 |
| ConstantineXVI | Funqhaus, USB drives should automount when you plug them in | 01:41 |
| Cpudan80 | bebin: maybe its an audio driver issue -- go to system --> prefs --> sound and switch to ALSA | 01:42 |

| Funqhaus | Hello, im pretty new to Ubuntu and im having an issue with a mounted internal HDD. I was in the properties dialog of the drive in Nautilus and changed the mount point under the "drive" tab. Now the drive will not mount and the "drive" tab is no longer available to change back what I had put.

| Funqhaus | Cpudan80 no it does not show up on sudo mount -a Fresh reboot etc, still does not show up. | 01:58 |
| bazhang | mike12, open a browser to paste.ubuntu.com ; in the terminal type: cat /etc/apt/sources.list copy and paste to browser window then save and give us the url | 01:58 |

| Funqhaus | Cpudan80 no, I didnt. But my FSTAB only lists the other 2 drives | 02:01 |
| ActionParsnip | carlf: maybe it needs different options, do the keys generate events in xev? | 02:01 |

| Funqhaus | nickrud hehe ok thanks though. Just trying to get this going. | 02:03 |

| mike12 | bazhang im sorry? | 02:05 |
| nickrud | Funqhaus, do alt-f2 gconf-editor, then navigate to /storage/volumes ; one of the devices listed there will have a path with a / in it. unset (right click, select unset) that key. The path you use there is a dir name under media. If you want to change the mountpoint out of /media , you'll need to set it in fstab | 02:05 |
| bazhang | mike12, add/remove menu? or network-manager | 02:05 |
| Semidios | Cpudan80, it was never in fstab. HAL automounts the drive in Ubuntu. I had that same problem. I wanted my drive to always be mounted and not with the name Ubuntu gave it. I ended up adding it to fstab to fix it. | 02:05 |

| mike12 | bazhang network manager i believe.... i use it to get new games and such from linux | 02:07 |
| jrib | Funqhaus: check the label on the partition | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | carlf: if you run xev in terminal, does it generate events when you press the keys? | 02:07 |
| rahduke | anyone? helo..... | 02:08 |
| mike12 | bazhang what should i do | 02:08 |
| carlf | ActionParsnip: Yes. It does. It also seems to generate unique events for the various combinations of Meta and Shift. | 02:08 |
| vigo | That one might work, I basically need it to plot some new charts, is there any nautical mapping software available..thank you | 02:08 |

| * ActionParsnip hm | 02:22 | |
| jove | galexcd, is the name listed exact as Inkescape ...? | 02:22 |
| apc__ | test | 02:22 |
| bazhang | DeadJones, aperson please disable those | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | grkblood13: read lots online about it, everything is hard at first | 02:22 |
| galexcd | jove, inkscape | 02:22 |
| yfzr1 | now it is showing ATI as card0 | 02:22 |
| grkblood13 | carl, so unless i am deleloping some website that had hardcore math involved and load of databases its not necessary? | 02:23 |
| nickrud | rahduke2, gettys are what you would use if you only had a server install, or if your gui fails you can use them to fix it (for example) | 02:23 |
| jove | galexcd, is it inside "graphic" category ? | 02:23 |
| carl-m | grkblood13: yes, unless you know you need it, then you don't need it | 02:23 |
| bazhang | jove, sudo apt-get install inkscape | 02:23 |

| * aperson gives me a rather large squid | 02:24 | |
| grkblood13 | ActionParsnip, im not saying its hard, im just asking if its something i need. all that i want is a server to put files on. phpmyadmin make a pretty gui but all it seems to do is manage mysql. am i wrong? | 02:24 |
| nickrud | DeadJones, aperson get rid of those, or leave the channel please | 02:24 |
| rahduke | nickrud: ahhh i hit that and i dont know how to come back | 02:24 |
| grkblood13 | i havnet looked into phpmyadmin that hardyet | 02:24 |
| carl-m | phpmyadmin is only useful if you have mysql, otherwise no need for it | 02:24 |
| galexcd | jove, bazhang has an easier way if you cant find it, but when i search under all for "inkscape" it is the only result | 02:24 |
| nickrud | rahduke, clt-alt-f7 | 02:24 |
| nickrud | rahduke, possibly ctl-atl-f8 | 02:24 |
| rahduke | much thanks | 02:24 |
| nickrud | !one more test | 02:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about one more test | 02:24 |
| grkblood13 | ok, so if i have apache is the a package that installs a nice gi to manage an apahce2 server? | 02:24 |
| bazhang | galexcd, try apt-cache search inkscape in terminal | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | grkblood13: im not sure, maybe someone else can answer | 02:25 |
| grkblood13 | there a* | 02:25 |
| bazhang | need the !give | 02:25 |
| carl-m | grkblood13: sorry, never used a gui for that | 02:25 |
| linuxman410 | Funqhaus is it internal or external harddrive | 02:25 |
| galexcd | bazhang why? | 02:25 |
| grkblood13 | what about a way to make the server password authenticated? | 02:25 |
| grkblood13 | google? | 02:25 |
| thermod | I'm have a problem with network Manager, it didn't stop correctly closing Ubuntu 8.04 and give me a series of error | 02:25 |
| nickrud | grkblood13, mysql is a full fledged relational database. drupal and other content management systems run on it; many businesses run million dollar databases with it | 02:26 |
| bazhang | galexcd, apt-cache search packagename/related term will let you know quicker | 02:26 |

| Dr_willis | linuxman410, i constantly see people in here trying to install it.. when i dont think its needed.. like jrib says | 02:33 |
| nickrud | galexcd, gedit does it; so does bluefish. For the kitchen sink, get eclipse from http://www.eclipse.org/europa/ | 02:33 |
| galexcd | jrib, i'm using gedit but i'm not a fan of the syntax highlighting. It only has about half of the standard functions do anyhing | 02:33 |

| girao | windows xp | 02:38 |

| rdw200169 | unop, what does that do? | 02:38 |
| bazhang | girao, that has nothing to do with ubuntu | 02:38 |
| unop | gonewestcoast, loads .. vim extends vi .. set nocompat # and you should see life become a little more difficult | 02:39 |

| unop | rdw200169, hmm, maybe you don't use vim ? | 02:39 |
| unop | rdw200169, indeed | 02:40 |
| rdw200169 | unop, yeah, i saw that a while ago reading the vim tips and tricks | 02:40 |

| redvamp128 | wine can get a virus though-- a reboot and the virus can't reproduce (or a log off) | 02:46 |
| bgs100 | I'm new to IRC. I just got xchat. Anyone got some tips (besides normal talking like i'm doing now) I can use? | 02:46 |
| root______ | booksbuggy it's not impossable for linux to have a virus. it's just not likely that one will survive long in the wild. | 02:46 |
| unused_bagels | bgs100 be sure to use someone's name when you refer to them. this highlights their name so they will notice. | 02:46 |
| booksbuggy | root______, i know that | 02:46 |

| nickrud | !who | bgs100 | 02:47 |
| ubottu | bgs100: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 02:47 |
| redvamp128 | root______: Like I said even if wine gets a virus -- since it does not have startup files upon reboot or startup things with computer a reboot or a log off will stop the virus from multiply (under wine that is) | 02:47 |
| bgs100 | unused_bagels, bazhang, and ubottu, thanks | 02:47 |

| booksbuggy | oh | 02:53 |
| DevilSShadoW | is using systemrescuecd the only way to resize the volume? | 02:54 |
| unused_bagels | redvamp128: lol no. NM isn't recognizing my internet connection. I have my ports forwarded and a static IP, and still only torrent at 3-11kbps | 02:54 |
| redvamp128 | unused_bagels: I don't really use torrents | 02:54 |
| unused_bagels | does anyone here know anything about Network Manager and/or torrenting? | 02:55 |

| npope | sudo passwd | 02:56 |

| redvamp128 | DevilSShadoW: though to note once you reboot to ubuntu-- it will send it into a device check - e2fsk cycle upon reboot | 02:56 |
| bookmark | uh... does anyone see a violation in that? | 02:57 |
| bookmark | besides me | 02:57 |

| bookmark | i'm using the live ubuntu cd | 02:57 |
| bookmark | yes i knows | 02:57 |
| bookmark | is this not a bad thing? that a standard user can do this? | 02:57 |
| npope | i do not see a problem with that | 02:57 |
| bookmark | or is ubuntu an admin user? | 02:57 |
| npope | its a live cd | 02:57 |
| bookmark | super user | 02:57 |
| bookmark | ok so is it only set up like that on a live cd? | 02:57 |
| StevenTyler | help, Ubuntu keeps booting into initramfs | 02:57 |
| npope | yes | 02:58 |
| redvamp128 | DevilSShadoW: did you catch that? inbetween the popins? | 02:58 |
| bookmark | ah... | 02:58 |
| bookmark | what setting is that? | 02:58 |
| root______ | DevilSShadoW if you don't mind having the filesystem within a file on another filesystem, then the answer to your question "is it possable..." yes it is possable to make an fat32 filesystem within linux if all the disk space was allocated to the root fs. example: dd if=/dev/zero of=my_new_vfat_filesystem bs=4096 count=1024 ;mkfs.vfat my_new_vfat_filesystem ;mount -o loop my_new_vfat_filesystem /mnt | 02:58 |
| bookmark | if you know | 02:58 |
| StevenTyler | last time I had to reinstall Ubuntu for that problem | 02:58 |
| bookmark | i mean its basically allow anyone to be root | 02:58 |
| npope | what setting is what? | 02:58 |
| StevenTyler | I an't keep reinstalling it again and again and again | 02:58 |
| npope | on the live cd | 02:58 |
| bookmark | um.... | 02:58 |
| unused_bagels | does anyone here know anything about Network Manager and/or torrenting? | 02:59 |
| bookmark | yes but you say a regular install isn't like that | 02:59 |
| bookmark | how do i make my live cd that way | 02:59 |
| npope | correct | 02:59 |
| bookmark | if i want to | 02:59 |
| root______ | DevilSShadoW hope that didn't turncate. it was longet than i thought | 02:59 |
| npope | not run a live cd | 02:59 |
| DevilSShadoW | sounds like my simple mind only comprehends reinstall | 02:59 |
| bookmark | hehe | 02:59 |
| npope | delete the ubuntu user | 02:59 |
| miranda_psi | unused_bagels: ask away and if people know the answer they will probably answer... | 02:59 |
| unused_bagels | redvamp128: lol no. NM isn't recognizing my internet connection. I have my ports forwarded and a static IP, and still only torrent at 3-11kbps | 02:59 |
| npope | but then it will come back if you reboot | 02:59 |
| unused_bagels | ack sorry | 02:59 |
| DevilSShadoW | dont get me wrong it's not extremely irgent for me to have a fat32 partition | 03:00 |
| unused_bagels | sorry redvamp128 | 03:00 |
| unused_bagels | well, does anyone know how I can fix my NM problem and reclaim my torrenting bandwidth? | 03:00 |
| DevilSShadoW | i just think its a waste for 160gb for linux | 03:00 |
| lifenova1 | DevilSShadoW: did your problem get solved? I was going to recommend you get a program in windows that can read an ext3 partition rather than converting to fat32. | 03:00 |
| unused_bagels | dangit | 03:00 |
| unused_bagels | ok miranda_psi | 03:00 |
| redvamp128 | DevilSShadoW: try this instead-- download a linux live cd like puppy linux (which already has G-parted) | 03:00 |
| bookmark | right...... | 03:00 |
| StevenTyler | anyone? | 03:00 |
| DevilSShadoW | a program in windows would be great | 03:00 |
| unused_bagels | NM won't recognize that I'm connected to the internet. I'm also having problems with diseasedly low torrent speeds, even though my ports are wiiide open. | 03:00 |

| unused_bagels | over my head, oipat | 03:06 |
| Leefmc | pandase: You asked if you could install intrepid by apt-get. | 03:06 |
| Leefmc | jp_sf: Thanks | 03:06 |
| Leefmc | jp_sf: Is updatedb needed? | 03:06 |
| meoblast001 | WOOT I JUST MESSAGED EVERY CHANNEL | 03:06 |
| oipat | How can I set the resolution to 1600x1200 by command line? | 03:07 |
| Leefmc | meoblast001: every channel on..? :P | 03:07 |
| jp_sf | Leefmc: if you are aware you lost it's been a while no ? so no ned to updatedb | 03:07 |
| Leefmc | meoblast001: Because i doubt you messaged every channel on freenode :P | 03:07 |
| Leefmc | jp_sf: Its not me, so i have no idea what this guy did heh | 03:07 |
| nite_johnboy | What shell command can I run that will tell me the name of my USB thumb drive plugged into the usb port? | 03:07 |
| Leefmc | jp_sf: On a similar note, is there any type of filesystem log? | 03:07 |
| unused_bagels | ALSO! I just ran something on speedtest.net, and I only got half speed. is this going to be affected by the fact that my wife is streaming netflix in the other room? (my torrenting problem has nothing to do with this however) | 03:07 |
| bazhang | message received | 03:07 |
| root______ | not even every user in this channel Leefmc | 03:07 |
| miranda_psi | unused_bagels: you could try forcing the use of encryption, but there are still ways that they can guess what the packets are or they could simply shape everything but a whitelist set of packets (and it might not even be the problem) | 03:08 |
| jp_sf | Leefmc: ok let me rephrase it if HE lost a file awhile he can query is updatedb and locate will do it for him | 03:08 |

| root______ | Leefmc yeah. generally /msg #channel will message all user in the channel not sure what he did | 03:09 |
| unused_bagels | miranda_psi: I'm using encryption, and in windows, I get great speed. I think my ISP osn't to blame. Also, I've called about port forwarding, they even helped me set it up, surprisingly. It's DSL, and my bandwidth is personal, it wouldn't affect anyone else. | 03:09 |

| Leefmc | jp_sf: The answer would be.. no? | 03:10 |
| Leefmc | root______: Yea, but generally its considered that your messaging the channel, and not "every user in the channel". Imo, if you message a user, you private message them, if you message a channel, you message a channel, not each user in it. | 03:11 |
| Leefmc | bit ot anyway :o | 03:11 |
| unused_bagels | miranda_psi: did you catch my last post? | 03:11 |

| hide1713 | Hi everyone. How to disable a command in sudoers file? | 03:17 |
| torstefan | I have some extra keys above the F-keys that I would like to map to commands. | 03:17 |
| hide1713 | Say, I want to disable du command, What shuold I put in sudoers? | 03:17 |
| root______ | hide1713 blah blah :!command * | 03:17 |
| unused_bagels | miranda_psi: i tried installing the .deb for ubuntu ibex amd64 and got a failed to install error. | 03:18 |
| hide1713 | root______: so If I want to disable du for user Joe, I should put "Joe :!du *" in sudoers? | 03:19 |
| hide1713 | root______: or :!du Joe | 03:19 |
| miranda_psi | unused_bagels: what error do you get? | 03:19 |
| root______ | hide1713 this would be an example of not letting anyone use "sudo du" %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL:!du * | 03:20 |
| unused_bagels | miranda_psi: it wouldn't let me copy the code in the terminal :? | 03:20 |
| hide1713 | root______: Thx. That helps a lot | 03:20 |
| root______ | hide1713 remember sudoers is complex, you should really read man sudoers before you edit it. | 03:20 |
| miranda_psi | unused_bagels: don't know why it does that... | 03:21 |
| hide1713 | root______: Sure, I did | 03:21 |
| ScottG | ActionParsnip: Thanks for the tips before. I set my swappiness to 10 | 03:22 |
| root______ | hide1713 while the default ubuntu sudoers (which i can't stand) simply makes one user "root jr." the intended use of sudo is far more refined. i would suggest to one and all that they take the time to learn about sudo/sudores/visudo and tighten security on their box to their own spec's | 03:22 |

| miranda_psi | unused_bagels: deluge is the bets one I have found to date and i am always trying different ones - the next best is ktorrent and you can always resort to utorrent under wine | 03:24 |

| _Vi_ | hmmm for me its the opposite, Deluge is the ONLY torrent that lets any traffic through unused_bagels | 03:24 |
| unused_bagels | miranda_psi: I liked utorrent in windows. _Vi_ : Why won't it let me update the program? I keep trying to install the new package. Should I uninstall? | 03:25 |

| ubottu | Claire2009: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 03:39 |
| gotank233 | yea i have one around here someplace | 03:39 |
| root______ | Claire2009 384gb of ram ??? | 03:40 |
| gotank233 | it can be used to run the iso? | 03:40 |
| grendal_prime | im on a t1 here ...if the repos are jamed, or connections are bad on any part of the download you are going to get slow speed. You need to read up on apt and how it works. | 03:40 |
| arrenlex1 | gotank233: I think there's a special distribution for liveusb installation. | 03:40 |
| [TK]D-Fender | kinda general newb question : About to use K3B for the first time and want to be sure ont he nature of the disc formats. I'm burning a data DVD which in Windows IIRC was being set as Joliet, but I never knew the finer spc points, only knowing it was the "norm". I see this as an option with some sane looking defaults, but its listed like "custom". The defaul is a very generic "UNIX/LINX +... | 03:40 |
| [TK]D-Fender | ...Windows". What does this really imply and which format should I pick for maximum compatibility? | 03:40 |
| Claire2009 | xbuntu? does that affect running of my computer if i enable it? | 03:40 |
| grendal_prime | Also..if you have a fat download, like hundreds of megs of updates it will take a wile to get all that. | 03:40 |
| arrenlex1 | !usb | gotank233 | 03:40 |
| ubottu | gotank233: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 03:40 |
| root______ | Claire2009 at any rate, any hardy release should be fine. | 03:40 |
| arrenlex1 | Claire2009: It's a different desktop environment -- not gnome. | 03:40 |
| Fishscene | I have created a directory called, "/vmfiles/vm" However, if I go into the vmfiles directory and run "ls" it does not display the vm directory. But I can still navigate to /vmfiles/vm. Any ideas why vm does not show up in ls? | 03:41 |
| Gregatorious | thanks for the try - I get 460 KB on any other site but synaptic | 03:41 |
| miranda_psi | does anyone have any idea why the compiz 3D cube would suddenly become very slow and buggy? (all I did was reboot - no installation of new programs / updates etc.) | 03:41 |
| Flusher_ | gotank233 > you download ubuntu 8.10 online and then you burn a CD image with nero for exemple.. Then you boot it on your xp and you click on the second choice ;) | 03:41 |
| Claire2009 | arrenlex1 - so i lose my login screens, any software?? | 03:41 |
| root______ | arrenlex1 i would suggest full kubuntu or ubuntu no need to lighten up for that hardware. | 03:41 |
| Claire2009 | arrenlex1 - or will everything still run normally? | 03:41 |
| arrenlex1 | Claire2009: You won't lose your software. You will lose your desktop preferences, because it's a different desktop environment. | 03:41 |
| Claire2009 | arrelenx1 - i see. | 03:41 |
| arrenlex1 | Claire2009: But of course, you can always log out of xfce and log back into gnome and have everything | 03:41 |
| Claire2009 | oh. | 03:42 |
| root______ | Claire2009 any hardy release should be fine on those specs ubuntu kubuntu xubuntu ... take your pick. | 03:42 |
| Claire2009 | root____ - running 8.04 LTS - runs pretty well. | 03:42 |
| root______ | Claire2009 that's what i said. | 03:42 |
| === eric is now known as talntid | ||
| Fishscene | So no one has any idea why the "ls" command fails to execute properly? It works fine in all directories except the one I created. | 03:42 |
| _Vi_ | Claire2009: if you find later that xubuntu is even too slow there's always fluxbox, Icewm, jwm... and what not. | 03:43 |
| arrenlex1 | Fishscene: Sorry, I missed the problem -- what does it say? | 03:43 |
| root______ | Fishscene no read permission on the dir ? | 03:43 |
| Claire2009 | question - can you just replace a dvd-rom drive, and have it instantly recognized by ubuntu 8.04?? | 03:43 |
| Claire2009 | (final question of night)_ | 03:43 |
| Fishscene | arrenlex1, it doesn't say anything. I execute the command and it returns me to the prompt. No output | 03:43 |
| grendal_prime | unless it is unsupported hardware(not likely on that type of device) udev should find it | 03:43 |
| Fishscene | root____, I thought if I created the directory using sudo, that I automatically had read permissions. how would I check the permissions? | 03:44 |
| arrenlex1 | Fishscene: Is there anything in the dir? | 03:44 |
| grendal_prime | that was for Claire2009 | 03:44 |
| Fishscene | arrenlex1, just a subdirectory | 03:44 |
| Claire2009 | grendal_prime - thanks. | 03:44 |
| grendal_prime | np | 03:44 |
| Fishscene | Here's the details: I have created a directory called, "/vmfiles/vm" However, if I go into the vmfiles directory and run "ls" it does not display the vm directory. But I can still navigate to /vmfiles/vm. Any ideas why vm does not show up in ls? | 03:44 |
| [TK]D-Fender | Any quick input on my K3B DVD format question? | 03:44 |
| grendal_prime | now get some sleep... | 03:44 |
| [TK]D-Fender | :) | 03:44 |
| root______ | Fishscene why did you use sudo ? is the dir not in your home ? | 03:44 |
| arrenlex1 | Fishscene: what does the command "file *" say | 03:44 |
| Claire2009 | well, thanks for all the info all, i'm off | 03:44 |
| grendal_prime | dream of larg weomen | 03:44 |
| Fishscene | root_________ correct, it is a directory sitting on the root of the filesystem. | 03:44 |
| xork | Hello! I could use some help w/ my sound in Ibex. I have an SB Live card that works just fine with most apps (Banshee, Firefox, totem), but when I try to run Wolfenstein:ET or Alien Arena (which only put out sound when I run them under aoss), i get nothing but a distorted sound loop | 03:45 |
| root______ | Fishscene ok ls -l / to see the ownership and permissions of the dir in question | 03:45 |
| Cpudan80 | xork: lol old app | 03:45 |
| xork | Cpudan80, yes but a good one :) | 03:46 |
| Cpudan80 | xork: try alsa instead of pulse --- settings --> prefs --> sound | 03:46 |
| xork | Cpudan80, I currently have those settings set to ALSA | 03:46 |
| syere | what is the advantage of alsa? | 03:46 |
| Cpudan80 | ALSA has stood the test of time... | 03:46 |
| Cpudan80 | xork: How did you get wolfenstein in linux anyway? | 03:46 |
| xork | Cpudan80, there's a native linux client, and it's free | 03:47 |
| PastorBones | I am able to SSH through terminal to my host, but when I try to 'Connect to Server...' using Nautilus I get a 'Service not available...' error. The Nautilus SSH works with my current host, it's only a problem with my new one. | 03:47 |
| Fishscene | root___, this is the readout: http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/46402 | 03:47 |
| Cpudan80 | xork: hrm... | 03:47 |
| Cpudan80 | xork: there goes my theory :-( | 03:47 |
| * Cpudan80 is not scoring any points tonight | 03:48 | |
| jsmidt | Hey everyone, I found The New York Times has another great Ubuntu article: http://tinyurl.com/ae9cbw | 03:48 |
| === exodus_m1 is now known as exodus_ms | ||
| Fishscene | wait! Holdup. Something goofy is going on. | 03:48 |
| jsmidt | Basically, France has learned they like Ubuntu, and want to influence the rest of the governments in Europe to likewise adopt it. | 03:48 |
| donkey_ | help | 03:48 |
| root______ | Fishscene you forgot the slash ls -l / | 03:49 |
| donkey_ | i need help | 03:49 |
| Fishscene | oh, I ran that command. At the very top of the pastebin is the relevent directory from that command | 03:49 |
| Fishscene | but! I fixed the issue. Turns out to be a linux hiccup | 03:49 |
| glick | excuse me, im thinking about runnin the 64-bit version of ubuntu on my comp, does all of the software available for 32bit work for 64-bit including flash and everything? | 03:49 |
| Fishscene | I restarted my machine and saw (bizzarrly) that my subdirectory moved itself to the root directory. | 03:50 |
| jp_sf | !off-topic | jsmidt | 03:50 |
| ubottu | jsmidt: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 03:50 |
| miranda_psi | does anyone have any idea why the compiz 3D cube would suddenly become very slow and buggy? (all I did was reboot - no installation of new programs / updates etc.) | 03:50 |
| jsmidt | jp_sf, sorry, I'll go there. | 03:50 |
| Fishscene | Thanks for helping me out guys. | 03:50 |
| donkey_ | I want to Burn a DVD of a movie I downloaded. It is in AVI format how do i and what program do i use to burn it????????????? | 03:50 |
| root______ | Fishscene ah yes line one,, 1. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-01-21 17:08 vmfiles sorry. anyway you have read access. if you want write access you'll have to chmod it | 03:50 |
| ChrisGibbs | glick: flash and java work under 64bit natively, including plugins for firefox | 03:51 |
| Cpudan80 | ChrisGibbs: they work ... but not wonderfully | 03:51 |
| Cpudan80 | well java is ok | 03:51 |
| glick | is intel core 2 duo a 64-bit cpu? | 03:51 |
| Cpudan80 | Yes | 03:51 |
| Fishscene | Let us CHMOD this puppy then. | 03:51 |
| PastorBones | ok, I tried again to use Nautilus to connect and now I get host verification key failed. /root/.ssh/known_hosts doesn't have ANY key stored, but nautilus isn't even asking for me to verify. I'm seriously stumped here, can anyone offer a suggestion? | 03:51 |
| ChrisGibbs | Cpudan80: I have been running it at home natively and I have not had any bad experieces (Knock wood :) ) | 03:51 |
| glick | is it? | 03:52 |
| donkey_ | I want to Burn a DVD of a movie I downloaded. It is in AVI format how do i and what program do i use to burn it?????????????\ | 03:53 |
| mstrjay4 | Need help with Java. Online java test still reports 1.5.0, even though ver 6 is installed. | 03:53 |
| PastorBones | you need an AVI2DVD converter to do it right | 03:53 |
| ChrisGibbs | glick: To answer your original question 32bit application can work. It may require installing 32bit libraries and possibly a little playing around. | 03:53 |
| donkey_ | pastor you talking to me? | 03:53 |
| PastorBones | donkey_, yes, try this site http://forum.videohelp.com/ | 03:53 |
| miranda_psi | mstrjay4: that would probably be because you have multiple versions installed and you have the 1.5 plugin set up for your browser | 03:53 |
| Youngblood | donkey_: Use DeVeDe to make iso, and use k3b or whatever you like to burn to disc | 03:54 |
| mstrjay4 | how do i set this up properly Miranda? | 03:54 |
| donkey_ | i have to make it into an Image? | 03:54 |
| tempnamee | :l | 03:55 |
| donkey_ | youngblood i have to make it into an image? | 03:55 |
| genii | donkey_: There's an old but still relevent article on the subject here if you are interested in the procedure http://www.linux.com/articles/53702 | 03:55 |
| Youngblood | donkey_: That's how I've had to do it | 03:55 |
| miranda_psi | mstrjay4: for firefox the universal plugin directory (by default) is: /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins - delete the java plugin link from there and create a new link to the java plugin | 03:56 |
| PastorBones | donkey_, if you just burn the avi it won't play on a DVD player, you need to convert it to a DVD format, go to that site and do some reading, there are even program links in the forum posts | 03:56 |
| donkey_ | kk thanks | 03:56 |
| mstrjay4 | cool thanks. | 03:57 |
| canto | Hello! I can't open .rar files in Linux. Archive manager just says 'Archive type not supported'. How can I extract .rar files in Ubuntu? | 04:00 |
| glick | so if i have a core 2 duo i can and should run ubuntu64 version? | 04:01 |
| jrib | !rar | canto | 04:01 |
| ubottu | canto: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 04:01 |
| genii | !rar | canto | 04:01 |
| genii | jrib: Tie! | 04:01 |
| miranda_psi | canto: search for rar in synaptic and you will find the solution | 04:01 |
| canto | thanks guys | 04:01 |
| jrib | glick: how much ram do you have? | 04:01 |
| glick | jrib, 2gigs | 04:02 |
| jrib | glick: only reason for 64 bit is if you want to use 4gb+ of ram really | 04:02 |
| kkathman | why would kacpid be running on my gnome install ? | 04:03 |
| jiffe20 | when my laptop goes to battery the screen dims, but when it goes to AC it doesn't brighten again, anyone know how to change that? | 04:03 |
| glick | so only if i want to use like more than 4 gigs of ram? | 04:04 |
| jrib | glick: yes | 04:04 |
| glick | hmmm ok | 04:05 |
| jrib | glick: if you plan on being in that situation, then you should install 64bit, otherwise just go with 32bit | 04:05 |
| glick | ok, thanks | 04:05 |
| nyaa | jiffe20 I sent you a message | 04:05 |
| jiffe20 | yeah, reduce backlight brightness isn't checked | 04:05 |

| Fishscene | sudo | 04:07 |
| jiffe20 | doesn't mean the battery isn't bad, but that option sounds to me light it shouldn't dim at all | 04:07 |
| ross` | neithe rof those things works | 04:07 |
| ross` | it always says permission denied | 04:07 |
| ross` | no matter what | 04:07 |

| ross` | 23 | 04:08 |
| jrib | oipat: please read wiki.ubuntu.com/X | 04:09 |

| ross` | thank you | 04:11 |
| FloodBot1 | ross`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:11 |
| vigo | jiffe20: That often helps a battery to recycle and hold a charge better. | 04:11 |
| eus | Oh, yes, lsattr should give more info. | 04:11 |
| ross` | lsattr -what tho... | 04:11 |
| jrib | ross`: tell us the output first | 04:11 |
| mcpancakes | can anyone here recommend me any possible music transcription/composition program(s) for Ubuntu? | 04:11 |
| jiffe20 | well my problem is just that it doesn't rebrighten after AC is reapplied | 04:11 |
| ross` | er.. ok | 04:11 |
| jiffe20 | well, and that it dims after AC drops, even though I have it set in power management not to | 04:11 |

| vigo | MethinX: Look at the forums, help out there, that is the philosophy of Ubuntu, you could also buy a cup or buy a local LoCo team breakfast...or something nice,,,adopt a kitty kat | 04:20 |
| _anu | genii : yes . your idea is just as mine :) | 04:20 |
| t35t0r | smash, no | 04:21 |
| usser | smash: no it isnt, oo 3.0 will be included in the next release | 04:21 |
| Fishscene | Jack, are you transferring files over the LAN? (Not from the internet)? | 04:21 |
| MethinX | are terminal applications safer and more secure to use then GUI Applications? | 04:21 |
| jack|ass | Fishscene: no, internet at the moment but it'll do it for lan too. It's not ISP throttling if that's what you're getting at. | 04:21 |
| genii | MethinX: https://shop.canonical.com/ for Ubuntu products and http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/donate.html for Mozilla also Apache: http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html These are all worthy linux causes :) | 04:22 |

| ValentineX | who will tell me a solution :'( >>whenever i upload a file using any internet browser my browser hangs until my uploading finishes | 04:22 |
| jack|ass | Fishscene: nah. :) it's something that i fix by simply removing/reinserting or reassociating with the router | 04:23 |
| Fishscene | ValentineX, I know you have asked several times, but I unfortunately do not know. Only thing I can think of is a script gone awry. | 04:23 |

| brunner | any idea why that would be happening? | 04:46 |
| n8tuser | brunner-> are you using dhcp? | 04:47 |
| genii | _anu: You may have to resize the partition to add more space (if possibly more room on the drive) or add another hd and splice it into the filesystem | 04:47 |
| brunner | n8tuser: no. if I were using dhcp, I'm not sure why I would need resolv.conf | 04:47 |
| brunner | in any case, there's no dhcp | 04:47 |
| _anu | genii : errrrr how do to that ? | 04:47 |
| brunner | I can ping my DNS servers | 04:47 |

| genii | _anu: If you can't resize the partition (eg: if thats all the space there is on the hd that is available to use) then add a second hd. Then you can copy over everything in a problemmatic directory on the full drive to it, then mount it under that same directory | 04:51 |

| mindrape | Photoguy: nm-tool from a commandline is also kinda helpful. | 05:12 |
| Photoguy | Yeah, I like GUI :P | 05:13 |
| genii | !info eclipse | 05:13 |
| mindrape | then nm-applet | 05:13 |
| ubottu | eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.2-5ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 126 kB, installed size 416 kB | 05:13 |
| genii | Hm. Must be a metapackage | 05:13 |
| mindrape | Photoguy: if its wireless then sudo iwconfig also has some spicy tidbits for ya. | 05:13 |
| Hutch | mindrape: any idea on this USB firefox issue? | 05:13 |
| mindrape | Hutch - USB firefox issue? Explain. | 05:14 |
| Photoguy | mindrape thanks, just needed a bit of info. | 05:14 |
| _anu | genii : what is a meta package ? | 05:14 |
| Hutch | mindrape: i am using a USB headset, in preferences>sounds i can hear through the USB OSS headset fine, as well as rhythmbox but firefox (youtube etc.) i get nothing, any ideas? | 05:14 |
| Tekumel | Anyone here happen to run on Maxtor DiamondMax 250GBs model number 6Y250L0? | 05:15 |
| Tekumel | I have 2 of them and 8.10 installation won't recognize either. | 05:15 |
| brunner | uhg, now my gui cron editor, "Scheduled Tasks" is missing from the menu | 05:15 |
| genii | _anu: A package which actually just consists of other packages to install. So the size of it looks small but the other stuff it pulls in is larger | 05:15 |
| Photoguy | Hmm, I allowed a port via firestarter, but the server still says the port is blocked. | 05:15 |
| brunner | mindrape: any idea what package Scheduled Tasks is from? | 05:16 |
| mindrape | Hutch - lemme google a bit... haven't heard of something like that happening because it should use the default sound device as defined by the system. | 05:16 |
| Hutch | mindrape: i think its specifically flash plugin as opposed to firefox itself. | 05:16 |
| genii | _anu: Please use pastebin to show complete result of command: df -h | 05:17 |

| Hutch | mindrape: how do i uninstall all those? | 05:23 |
| _anu | genii : oh i see | 05:23 |
| genii | _anu: Does: mount show that a swap partition is being used? | 05:23 |
| mindrape | Hutch - sudo apt-get remove whatever | 05:24 |
| _anu | genii : how to do that ? | 05:24 |
| mindrape | Photoguy - sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 666 -j ACCEPT | 05:24 |

| hossam | how can i copy files and directories from my linux partition to a fat32 partition without encountering errors related to invalid characters in the names (i.e. ? : ) | 05:24 |
| genii | _anu: No. 1 minute | 05:25 |
| _anu | genii : i will wait thank you | 05:25 |
| mindrape | hossam - there are probably shell scripts you can download that will resolve those issues for you... if you'd like I can google one up for you. | 05:25 |
| Photoguy | mindrape, that still doesn't allow it. | 05:26 |
| Photoguy | For some odd reason | 05:26 |
| genii | _anu: Does command: cat /etc/fstab | grep swap give a line, or just return to command prompt? | 05:26 |
| mindrape | Photoguy - are you behind a router or other network device like an IDS or hardware firewall? | 05:26 |
| hossam | mindrape that would be excellent, i am trying ot copy over 200 gigabytes of files using cp, but every now and then i get errors when the files or directories contain invalid characters that are not fat32 comliant | 05:26 |
| _anu | genii : let me try it | 05:26 |
| Photoguy | No, firewal. | 05:26 |
| _anu | genii : UUID=7e5a4a9c-58a6-4b38-b5ac-7d4a20c663bd none swap sw 0 0 | 05:27 |
| genii | _anu: OK | 05:27 |
| Hutch | mindrape: i see a flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound. does that require flashplugin-nonfree as well | 05:27 |
| _anu | genii : 0 0 is in next line | 05:27 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | hello all | 05:27 |
| Photoguy | mindrape The port (666) and server work on windows, so it's not the network problem I don't think. | 05:27 |
| genii | _anu: That is fine, what matters is swap is being used. | 05:27 |
| _anu | genii : oh ? why ? | 05:27 |
| mindrape | hossam - found the answer.... | 05:28 |
| glick | hey im trying to run live cd on a dual core AMD but after the ubuntu load bar comes on, it just seems to hang at a black screen whith a white blinking cursor at the top left | 05:28 |
| _anu | genii : why does it matter ? | 05:28 |
| genii | _anu: Swap is important because when system runs out of actual memory it uses the swap as sort of temporary extra memory. But this is likely not directly related to your issue. | 05:28 |
| vnix | Is there any other choices beside using Pidgin(MSN Messenger) | 05:29 |
| _anu | genii : do you want me to remove it to set out more space ? | 05:29 |
| garity | is there any other partition tool besides sucky gparted? | 05:29 |
| genii | _anu: All your results so far do not indicate that a lack of space or memory is likely to blame. Also, no, do not remove your swap partition. | 05:30 |
| gartral | an admin around? i need help with skii in #jubuntu | 05:30 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <genii> if you have 4gb of ram i don't believe what you need swap | 05:30 |
| gartral | kubuntu* | 05:30 |
| ari_stress | what is jubuntu | 05:30 |
| gartral | ari_stress: see my correction? | 05:30 |
| _anu | genii : really ? how can i give that partition more space | 05:30 |
| _anu | ? | 05:30 |
| genii | Adrian2MiL8: Possibly not for casual users | 05:30 |
| garity | who would use kubuntu? lol, kde sucks, try xubuntu instead, even fluxbuntu is better | 05:31 |
| _anu | genii : how do you know that ? it's funny ? | 05:31 |
| Fevrin | garity: oh, plz! gparted works well! if you want something else, though, there's Qtparted, or some commandline tools like parted or fdisk. | 05:31 |
| gartral | garity, its about someone in the channel | 05:31 |
| _anu | genii : i can't find that related | 05:31 |
| glick | does anyone know why its doing that? | 05:31 |
| _anu | genii : i'm so stupid | 05:31 |
| glick | am i using the wrong version of ubuntu? | 05:31 |
| genii | _anu: You keep asking questions which are time consuming to answer and are sidetracking me from getting to what the actual problem is and how to go about resolving it | 05:31 |
| glick | do i NEED the 64 bit version? | 05:32 |
| genii | _anu: How did you deduce that lack of hard drive space was causing your apt-get install problem? | 05:32 |
| _anu | genii : i am sorry . if i can voice you is better | 05:32 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <glick> if you have a 64 bit processor you should | 05:33 |
| Fevrin | glick: you probably don't *need* 64-bit, but if you're hardware supports it, it wouldn't hurt; well, you won't have access to as much software, as x86 has been around longer, but I've been using 64-bit Hardy since last May. | 05:33 |

| mindrape | Hutch - googling... hold. | 05:35 |

| glick | anyone know why my live cd doesnt seem to load to the desktop? | 05:36 |
| vnix | Is there any other choices beside using Pidgin(MSN Messenger) | 05:36 |
| _4ypz | YOSPOS BITCH | 05:36 |
| _anu | genii : that means space unavailable ? oh i see | 05:36 |
| glick | it hangs at a black screen after showing the ubuntu load bar | 05:36 |
| Fevrin | glick: have you checked the .iso against the md5? | 05:36 |
| glick | no Fevrin the iso is on a win machine i dont know how to check | 05:37 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <glick>how anyone here can know what happens on your computer without see it | 05:37 |
| genii | _anu: No. As far as I know it does NOT mean lack of space. It means some malformed file int he updates directory | 05:37 |
| Fevrin | glick: hold on. | 05:37 |
| glick | Adrian2MiL8, i dont know i thought maybe someone had similar symptoms and i just had to pass a special parameter to the booting kernel | 05:37 |

| Fevrin | glick: after you install that, open the .iso file with it, and check the md5 checksum against the checksum for your Ubuntu version at releases.ubuntu.com | 05:40 |
| genii | _anu: It is OK. I will remain online for a bit longer. But I do not think there may be some immediate solution today for your problem | 05:40 |

| _anu | genii : shall i private chat will you ? | 05:46 |
| genii | _anu: OK, so run: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 05:46 |
| Fevrin | Vincent28: that means that you already have the OSE version of virtualbox installed, so you must first uninstall that. | 05:47 |
| _anu | genii: let me have a try | 05:47 |
| joeyjones | but i'm a bit concerned about issues with running 32-bit apps on a 64-bit os | 05:47 |

| Fevrin | Vincent281: yep, 64-bit hardy | 05:56 |
| linux_guy | joeyjones: just get 8.10 32 | 05:56 |
| joeyjones | genii: it'll be mainly for coding/etc, not that much encoding anymore. | 05:56 |
| linux_guy | you'll love it | 05:56 |
| Vincent281 | Fervin : what are the virtualization settings i should have? | 05:56 |

| Vincent281 | Fervin: ok | 05:57 |
| linux_guy | Mteck are you looking for linux specifically? | 05:57 |
| linux_guy | did you just buy an mp3 player? | 05:57 |

| MTecknology | linux_guy: when did I say a player? | 05:57 |
| _anu | genii : let me browse that page | 05:58 |
| Fevrin | Vincent281: at what point did you get that error? | 05:58 |
| MTecknology | linux_guy: I need something to go thorugh and verify my ID3 tags anbd update errors | 05:58 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <mike1980>yes it's possible , but i have a similar problem with 2 sata hardisks , the system only see one | 05:58 |

| gharz | guys, anybody who knows where ubuntu mount a drive from a windows server 2003 using samba? | 05:59 |
| _anu | genii : what should i do | 05:59 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <mike1980> , not sata hardisk ?? | 05:59 |
| linux_guy | tag & rename is good. You could use mediamonkey also, I don't prefer it for ipod, but everything else is ok | 05:59 |
| Fevrin | Vincent281: is that before you get any of the windows installer windows? | 05:59 |
| RegressLess | My name is mike and I was born in 1980. Oh, that's right, every boy born in 80 was named Mike. | 05:59 |
| mike1980 | Adrian2MiL8: nope dvd burner | 05:59 |
| Vincent281 | Fervin: yeah i think i have the virtualization settings off it doesnt have a windows 7 installer option | 05:59 |
| mike1980 | RegressLess: that right | 06:00 |
| _anu | genii : what they saying i can not understand | 06:00 |
| Fevrin | Vincent281: let me check my settings really quick... | 06:00 |
| Cablekid | I love ubuntu! | 06:00 |
| genii | _anu: There currently seems to be no solution offered for it on the bug page. One fellow said removing package cupsys was the fix for him. | 06:00 |
| Fevrin | Vincent281: it looks like I actually have it set for Windows XP, but both Ubuntu and Windows 7 seem to work with that.... | 06:00 |
| Vincent281 | ok | 06:00 |
| === izibi_ is now known as izibi | ||
| linux_guy | mteck: the difference is tag & rename changes the actual ID3 tag at the FILE properties level, and I BELIEVE... mediamonkey just updates the id3 information in the MM library | 06:01 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <mike1980>hmmm...try to change the options in yours bios for the sata to ide compatible mode , maybe this help | 06:01 |

| WayneHuangs | Hello? | 06:02 |
| Fevrin | Vincent281: it can save you typing and spelling errors if you start typing "fev" and then tab ;p | 06:02 |
| genii | _anu: Yes, still here. But not for too much longer. Perhaps 10-15 minutes | 06:02 |
| Vincent281 | Fevrin: it was tab i forgot what it was lol | 06:03 |
| Fevrin | Vincent281: it shouldn't matter whether you use a disc or .iso | 06:03 |
| _anu | genii : sudo dpkg -r cupsys ---> dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove cupsys which isn't installed. | 06:03 |
| RegressLess | Adrian2Mil8: You have a complicated name, but thanks! Am I wrong or does this say the driver is not a Realtek driver. I know the AC'97 is right, but it doesn't say Realtek | 06:03 |
| genii | _anu: OK | 06:03 |
| linux_guy | Fevrin, | 06:03 |
| linux_guy | hey it works | 06:03 |
| linux_guy | fev + tab | 06:04 |
| _anu | genii : ^^ is that ? | 06:04 |
| Fevrin | linux_guy: yep; you learn new tricks every day :) | 06:04 |
| linux_guy | Example: Fevrin, what's up | 06:04 |
| genii | _anu: I am contemplating the issue. 1 minute please :) | 06:04 |
| Vincent281 | Fevrin: imgettings statsu code 0xc000035a | 06:04 |
| Fevrin | ;p | 06:04 |
| linux_guy | Fevrin, I'll be a pro like you one day | 06:04 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <RegressLess>i'm not sure , but i think what it's a nvidia sound codec | 06:04 |
| mike1980 | DO new drives show up in fstab after boot? | 06:04 |
| Fevrin | linxeh: pro? pyeah! | 06:04 |
| _anu | genii : i really don't know what it would be without you ^^ | 06:05 |
| Fevrin | Vincent281: have you checked your disc or errors against the official sha1 checksum? | 06:05 |
| Fevrin | Vincent281: *for* errors | 06:05 |
| _Vi_ | Tab also works in the terminal :) (really handy for sudo apt-get install (confusing app name goes here)) | 06:05 |
| linux_guy | "Game Time Costs Less at Walmart" commercial hahaha | 06:05 |
| Vincent281 | Fevrin: i don't think so how do i check sha1? | 06:05 |
| genii | _anu: To try: sudo dpkg -r smb-db (this was the package it originally was stalling on) | 06:05 |
| Steelflint | I'm having trouble mounting a Windows network drive to my file system, I think I could do it easily enough, but I just don't get how I'm supposed to address the computer/drive itself, to do the job...could someone explain how to do this? | 06:05 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <RegressLess>mostly soundcards are AC97 compatible , look at nvidia website for the info of you southbridge | 06:06 |
| Fevrin | Vincent281: you're using Ubuntu right now, correct? | 06:06 |
| _anu | genii : let me try | 06:06 |
| Vincent281 | Fevrin: yeah 64bit 8.10 | 06:06 |
| Fevrin | Vincent281: do you have the original windows 7 .iso? | 06:06 |
| Vincent281 | Fevrin: yeah public beta | 06:06 |
| _anu | genii : it throws same message as cupsys | 06:07 |
| genii | _anu: OK. 1 minute | 06:07 |
| Fevrin | Vincent281: have you experience in the terminal? | 06:07 |
| Vincent281 | Fevrin: i think the vbox is default under 32bit or something its saying taht the software is not compatible | 06:07 |
| Vincent281 | Fevrin: somewhat not with the cmds XD | 06:07 |
| linux_guy | Fevrin, did you know the fn key + down arrow dims my laptop screen? | 06:07 |
| LoveWind | Hello WayneHuangs | 06:07 |
| _anu | genii : you are an angel ^^ | 06:08 |
| Fevrin | linux_guy: which fn key? | 06:08 |
| c_webkit | how can i find out whats the VGA driver version | 06:08 |
| linux_guy | the Fn key | 06:08 |
| linux_guy | Fevrin, only pros know that | 06:08 |
| Fevrin | linux_guy: you mean the one that changes the F mode or something? | 06:08 |
| linux_guy | Fevrin, its a special key for laptops | 06:08 |
| RegressLess | Adrian2MiL8: I have sound but no mic so I was going to install the Realtek driver, but I need help with the instructions. What do I do with this?: Installation: execute ./install The files are in a .tar.bz2 archive thingy (boy, I love sounding cool) | 06:08 |
| Guest33765 | anyone used voice control? | 06:09 |

| silv3r_m00n | hi there... openoffice base doesnt allow to shift rows up or down in a table...how can i do that... is there a better ms-access alternative for linux available ? | 06:09 |
| Steelflint | Fevrin, The Fn key activates the numpad and various other keys on a laptop since they have a condensed keyboard. | 06:09 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <RegressLess>are you sure what the realtek driver are the appropiate for you ?? | 06:09 |
| _anu | genii : i am sorry for making you thinking so hard | 06:09 |
| _anu | genii : ^^ | 06:09 |
| linux_guy | Fevrin, steelflint is some kind of pro | 06:09 |

| linux_guy | Fevrin, I have to disable it because of video complications =( | 06:10 |
| RegressLess | Adrian2MiL8: Realtek AC97 is the driver my soundcard came with | 06:10 |
| Fevrin | linux_guy: awww! | 06:10 |
| Guest33765 | forget that driver | 06:10 |
| Fevrin | linux_guy: it's just a visual effect...the window would incrementally fade. | 06:11 |
| Steelflint | Fevrin, Yeah, I found that a couple days after installing Ubuntu, pretty neat. | 06:11 |
| RegressLess | Adrian2MiL8: I just know my people need to hear my voice :D | 06:11 |
| _anu | genii : are you there ? | 06:11 |
| genii | _anu: No apologies needed. Your problem is difficult, as even the bug report shows, since there is currently no solution offered there. | 06:11 |
| dtanner | i have a 64 bit amd cpu and ubuntu-studio-intrepid is giving me an error that ai do not have a 64 bit cpu , it is stoppping the install saying a need a 32bit kernel , any ideas ? | 06:11 |
| genii | _anu: Yes. I will let you know if I leave | 06:11 |
| RegressLess | Adrian2MiL8: I don't really have people | 06:11 |
| _anu | genii : errr | 06:11 |
| RegressLess | I am someone's people | 06:11 |
| _anu | genii : i am grateful even if the problem remains | 06:11 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <RegressLess> ok , and what it's you problem ?? what you can't make now ?? install these other driver s?? | 06:12 |
| linux_guy | Fevrin, I have a touchpad, maybe thats it | 06:12 |
| linux_guy | i have no fade | 06:12 |
| * linux_guy is hungry | 06:12 | |
| Guest33765 | anyone used voice control? | 06:12 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <RegressLess> maybe you have only the mic disable on the alsa mixer | 06:12 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <RegressLess> you check this ?? | 06:13 |
| genii | _anu: I am suspecting this: An update was happening and was interrupted. Some files got corrupted. Did you halt somehow an update, or did the machine restart unexpectedly, etc? | 06:13 |
| Fevrin | linux_guy: awww...well, it's not much that you're missing. | 06:13 |
| Steelflint | linux_guy, Does your touchpad have a scroll line on the right edge of it, you could test that, on mine, if I slide my finger down the right edge of the touchpad it scrolls. | 06:13 |
| genii | _anu: (just before this all began) | 06:13 |
| linux_guy | voice control for what | 06:13 |
| linux_guy | oh yeah steel hang on | 06:13 |
| RegressLess | Adrian2MiL8: That last message was cryptic. I need to be able to use my mic. I just saw you're next message; how do I find out if you're right? Thanks! | 06:13 |

| RegressLess | Adrian2MiL8: omg *blushing* | 06:15 |
| linux_guy | on that note, does anyone know a way around the compiz / video complications? | 06:15 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <RegressLess> look if the mic is checked | 06:15 |
| _anu | genii : then what can i do ? | 06:15 |
| linux_guy | when compiz effects are enabled, video is shaky | 06:15 |
| linux_guy | is it just a bug? | 06:15 |
| Gtweak674 | i dunno.. it';s annoying though always having to turn off the effects to watch video | 06:16 |
| nickrud | glick, don't do it enough to recite the interactive grub method, but iirc press e at the grub menu, remove quiet splash from the kernel line, then b to boot. You can edit the menu.lst to make it permanent | 06:16 |
| c_webkit | if i install Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit version from the cd directly it gets intalled | 06:16 |
| Steelflint | linux_guy, it may be, I haven't encountered that myself, my desktop is nVidia, and my laptop is ATI, both have been pretty much plug&play. | 06:16 |
| Adrian2MiL8 | <RegressLess>are you inside the gnome desktop into ubuntu ?? | 06:16 |
| c_webkit | but after restart it does not show any desktop | 06:16 |

| _Vi_ | for removing splash screen ^^^^^^^^ | 06:16 |
| c_webkit | i checked the cd for problems | 06:17 |
| genii | _anu: OK, so we are maybe understanding the cause a bit. Try: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/* && sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/* then to try again: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 06:17 |
| Gtweak674 | sometimes all it needs is a good punching! | 06:17 |
| c_webkit | but it had 0 errors | 06:17 |
| bashca | there any notify for gmail ?? i mean new 1 please | 06:17 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, what video card do you have? | 06:17 |

| c_webkit | nickrud: what should i do in BIOS | 06:21 |
| c_webkit | it wont give me the version no | 06:21 |
| genii | _anu: Yes, I saw. This is from the first command where we told it to remove all in /var/cache/apt/archives It removed all the files but was unable to remove the directory. This is fine and normal error and not to worry over. | 06:21 |
| kevipapo | everyone busy right now, i guess | 06:21 |
| glick | the hell? i didnt ask to ask | 06:21 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, no. nothing in bios. after you boot, and it seems to hang. Describe what happens, up to the time it hangs | 06:21 |

| nickrud | c_webkit, different causes of boot errors at different points in the boot. I need to know more to help you | 06:22 |
| glick | is that usualy a sign of a bad cd | 06:22 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: reask your question please | 06:22 |
| nickrud | glick, could be. Did you run the self test on the boot menu? | 06:22 |
| kevipapo | sure, im having issues installing the nvidia drivers | 06:22 |

| kevipapo | ubuntu 8.10, nVidia 9800M GS | 06:23 |
| genii | _anu: rm can remove files easily but not subdirectories, that is all | 06:23 |
| c_webkit | nickrud: Ok as far as Ubuntu installation is concerned | 06:23 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: Are you trying to download and install the drivers manually? | 06:23 |
| linux_guy | What do you do when Ubuntu is taking over what used to be sleep in your life? | 06:23 |
| nickrud | glick, most likely a bad burn then. did you run the md5sum on the downloaded iso? | 06:23 |
| c_webkit | nickrud: everything runs well | 06:23 |
| c_webkit | nickrud: it perfectly starts | 06:23 |
| _anu | genii : OK OK sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/* then to try again: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 06:23 |
| kevipapo | no, this is from the hardware manager application | 06:23 |
| c_webkit | i get the ubuntu loading screen | 06:24 |
| genii | _anu: Yes | 06:24 |
| kevipapo | system, admininstration, hardware drivers | 06:24 |
| _anu | genii: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/* --> rm: cannot remove `/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/*': No such file or directory | 06:24 |
| glick | nickrud, no im on windows trying to find a good md5sum program | 06:24 |
| vince | Question: Is there an easy way to set Ubuntu's default soundcard to a different card? When I go to System -> Preferences -> Sound I see a huge list of devices and i'm not sure which one is my onboard card | 06:24 |
| genii | _anu: Ok, this again is not a concern. Proceed to last step | 06:24 |
| nickrud | glick, google md5sum.exe . You can download and run that from a command prompt | 06:24 |
| c_webkit | nickrud: then after the loading screen goes.. i should get the desktop with the username and password.. tht screen does not come.. only blank with a pointer | 06:25 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: is there drivers listed there? I have an 8800 and it shows me two options (one of which is recommended) | 06:25 |
| c_webkit | ie. my mouse cursor | 06:25 |
| _anu | genii : really ? ok | 06:25 |
| * linux_guy yawns and goes to bed | 06:25 | |
| nickrud | c_webkit, ah, with a pointer. ok. That's the end of it? | 06:25 |
| c_webkit | yes | 06:25 |
| * linux_guy says gnight! | 06:25 | |
| kevipapo | RegressLess, i think we see the same thing. One is 173, the other 177 (thats the recommended one | 06:25 |
| c_webkit | 'after tht nothing works so have to reboot | 06:25 |
| nickrud | does the pointer move? | 06:25 |
| c_webkit | yes | 06:25 |
| c_webkit | i think | 06:25 |
| _anu | genii : dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. | 06:25 |
| _anu | Aborted | 06:25 |
| c_webkit | not sure | 06:25 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: have you picked the recommended one? | 06:25 |
| genii | _anu: OK, 1 minute again | 06:26 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: 177 | 06:26 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, I hope you have two machines, one for talking and one for troubleshooting :) | 06:26 |
| Gtweak674 | gnite | 06:26 |
| kevipapo | yes, i tried activating it, and thats when the prblem occurs, and the window for downloading it pops open for a split second and dissappears | 06:26 |
| _anu | genii : OK ^^ thank you very much very | 06:26 |
| c_webkit | well.. i am not sure.. about the cursor.. but the blank screen is for sure.. | 06:26 |
| kevipapo | also, sory if i make typing mistakes, i recently bought this computer (two days ago) so im getting used to the keyboard | 06:26 |
| c_webkit | i think the cursor does not move | 06:26 |
| c_webkit | or the cursor does not come only | 06:27 |
| c_webkit | could be anything | 06:27 |
| c_webkit | I got now win98 winxp and installing Ubuntu scared if it does not work.. i would lose info in the booting cause Ubuntu becomes the MSR | 06:27 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: no prob. Ok, if you select the 177, there a button at the bottom that says "This driver is activated and currently in use." is that gray or green? | 06:27 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, from what you've said so far it could be anything for sure. I would suggest you start by running the disk check on the cd's boot menu. Make sure there wasn't some corruption somewhere | 06:28 |
| c_webkit | i did tht | 06:28 |
| c_webkit | i checked for errors | 06:28 |
| nickrud | ok, good | 06:28 |
| Pipot | any body know how to install driver sound card FCA 202 Behringer Firewire on ubuntu | 06:28 |
| c_webkit | there are 0 errors | 06:28 |
| kevipapo | RegressLess, it is (unfortunately) grey, unactivated | 06:28 |
| c_webkit | cause earlier way earlier when i used a copy it had 1 error | 06:28 |
| c_webkit | so.. | 06:28 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: what does the 173 show when you select it? Gray or green? | 06:28 |
| c_webkit | i downloaded again the desktop version and it has 0 error | 06:29 |
| c_webkit | s | 06:29 |
| c_webkit | i also tried running the demo version | 06:29 |
| c_webkit | tht also hanged | 06:29 |
| _Vi_ | holy enter key | 06:29 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, yeah, I remember you saying that now. Again, I need to know what video chip is on the motherboard. Does the live cd boot to a desktop? | 06:29 |
| c_webkit | The first option which says.. :"try ubuntu without any changes to ur computer": | 06:29 |
| kevipapo | RegressLess, also grey and unactivated | 06:29 |

| c_webkit | i can boot from cd or from hdd | 06:30 |
| c_webkit | from hdd it hangs | 06:30 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: sorry | 06:30 |
| c_webkit | from cd it kinda works | 06:30 |
| c_webkit | but then again... | 06:30 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, kinda? | 06:30 |
| c_webkit | yes i mean by installation | 06:30 |
| kevipapo | heh, if you're saying im not at stupid as i seem, thanks :) | 06:30 |
| c_webkit | after tht it blows up | 06:30 |

| === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow | ||
| c_webkit | yes it does | 06:31 |

| c_webkit | nickrud: can u explain me what do u mean by xp boot to desktop | 06:31 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: You should have got an 8800 :P | 06:31 |
| tweak674 | anyone know how to undelete files | 06:31 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, boot to xp, look in the device manager and find out what video chip your machine has. If you can do that, xp is booting to the desktop | 06:31 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: possibly, I made a cd | 06:32 |

| Pipot | kevipapo, it's firewire, n' thats not detect | 06:34 |
| kevipapo | no, sorry, there might not be an official driver for linux, so you'll need to download an open source one | 06:34 |
| kevipapo | but im not sure how you'd go about that, so sorry | 06:35 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, I'm not going to be looking at the screen for a while but will be around. Use my nick when you have the info | 06:35 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: I may get a Eee; cheap, small (but not too small), and Linux. Sounds tempting. Also the multitouch is cool. | 06:35 |

| RegressLess | kevipapo: By what do you mean "not the most productive"? | 06:36 |
| kevipapo | RegressLess: only 900MHz processor, small keyboard, small overall | 06:37 |
| kevipapo | not my type of thing, but its definitely cool and ultra-portable | 06:37 |

| genii | _anu: Yes, I saw. 1 minute | 06:38 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: Is speed an issue? I've seen and placed my hands on the keyboard--that part I'm cool with but it has to function at a decent speed. I don't need a 22" widescreen like some of these people. ;D | 06:38 |
| _anu | genii : ^^ i don't know what to say , i just say thank you again | 06:39 |
| kevipapo | RegressLess: even with the 900mhz processor, the thing runs nicely. My friend's was running Windows 7 just fine with no other drivers | 06:39 |
| kevipapo | so it works, but its more for portable work | 06:39 |
| tweak674 | windows 7 sucks | 06:40 |
| Enanito | hello | 06:40 |
| williamashworth | hi guys. need a bit of help. I'm sorta new to ubuntu and i've been reading endlessly with no results. | 06:40 |
| kevipapo | !ask | 06:40 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 06:40 |

| williamashworth | sorry :) | 06:40 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: I have only had desktop computers. Frankly, I think it's funny how people get a "portable computer" that's as big as they are. The size, I think, is perfect. | 06:40 |
| kevipapo | william, no worries ;) | 06:41 |

| ActionParsnip | tweak674: no, i dont have a mic, plus i can type way fater than anything I can say | 06:44 |
| kevipapo | plus, my parents are separated, so its nice to have a way to bring a powerful computer back and forth | 06:44 |

| genii | _anu: My current thinking is we need to clear or remove the list of packages which are only partially installed/configured so that control of the dpkg can be regained. But how to approach this is too much for me right now. | 06:45 |
| RegressLess | kevipapo: Correction: If you haven't seen, search videos for keywords "eee" and "multitouch" on youtube | 06:46 |
| RegressLess | I'm tired | 06:46 |
| kevipapo | RegressLess: retirement? 28? please tell me you're joking there. yeah, im still in the teen years, with gaming on my mind a lot | 06:46 |
| kevipapo | gona get some sleep? | 06:47 |
| tweak674 | any linux gaming to be had? | 06:47 |

| RegressLess | kevipapo: Yes, my wife needs some cuddling. I'm kidding about retirement, but gaming has been put on the back burner. Enjoy your apathetic teen years while you can. Before too long, you may be forced to care about more things. | 06:49 |

| Flannel | vinay: There is no default password for root no. It's locked. | 06:52 |
| c_webkit | nickrud: i didnt get the solution | 06:52 |
| c_webkit | y do i get a blank screen | 06:52 |
| zaapiel | !ask full disk encryption | 06:52 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:52 |
| Flannel | vinay: Ubuntu uses sudo instead, your first user is a member of the admin group and has the ability to use sudo. | 06:52 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, no idea of the chipset of your video? Not much I can do, without knowing that | 06:52 |
| c_webkit | ok | 06:52 |
| zaapiel | well anyone have a link for using the altervive install to set up full disk encryption? | 06:52 |
| c_webkit | the chipset is P4I45GV Rs5.0 | 06:52 |
| tylor | hmm, did you install video4linux, it might be installed by default | 06:53 |
| vinay | Arvind thanks for the reply. It did not prompt for entering password for root account during installation. | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: is it still running in ps -ef | grep conky ? | 06:53 |
| arvind_khadri | vinay, read what Flannel said... | 06:53 |
| IcemanV9 | !ecryptfs > zaapiel | 06:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ecryptfs | 06:53 |

| _anu | genii : it remains still but thank you for your work | 06:53 |
| tylor | yea it's installed by default | 06:54 |
| zaapiel | !encyptfs | 06:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about encyptfs | 06:54 |
| vinay | Any idea why it did not prompt for password? | 06:54 |
| arvind_khadri | vince, if you ask whats the problem then someone may | 06:54 |
| zaapiel | !encryptfs | 06:54 |

| paul68 | ActionParsnip: yes it does | 06:54 |
| genii | _anu: OK. Keep an eye on the bug report mentioned earlier. A solution may yet appear there | 06:54 |
| Flannel | vinay: Again, Ubuntu doesn't use the root account, so it won't ask for a password for one. | 06:54 |
| kevipapo | ok, ill fix my problems later | 06:54 |
| kevipapo | im gonna get some shut eye | 06:54 |

| _DEL | im running bare basics | 06:55 |
| vince | arvind_khadri : I have attempted to set the default sound card, I have attempted to change the settings in System -> Preferences -> Sound. I have also attempted to search google but most of the tutorials I find all apparently deal with older versions of Ubuntu with a different setup than mine and don't see, to apply to my setup | 06:55 |
| arvind_khadri | vince, oh ok, if no one replied maybe they dont know, try posting it again :) | 06:55 |
| vinay | Flannel, does it mean you never a root account ? Even for administrative related tasks ? | 06:55 |
| arvind_khadri | vinve which sound card? | 06:55 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, that tells me all I need about the hardware, thanks. Looking for bug reports | 06:55 |
| askin007 | does anybody use Promise SX 6000 raid controller? | 06:55 |
| arvind_khadri | vince which sound card? | 06:55 |
| Flannel | vinay: Right. You use sudo instead. `sudo command` runs command as root. | 06:55 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: even 4 times | 06:56 |
| vinay | Flannel, thanks! | 06:56 |
| vince | I have one sound card working. If I run cat /proc/asound/modules it shows both but its using the wrong card as the default | 06:56 |
| zaapiel | basically i want the same setup alternative install guided encryption gives you but i want a smaller swap and serpant encryption | 06:56 |
| zaapiel | anyone have a link? | 06:56 |
| vince | I have an onboard Intel Realteck card and an Add On Soundblaster Live! | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: try killing them off and starting it with alt+f2 or whatever you gnome guys use to launch apps | 06:56 |
| arvind_khadri | vince, so you want to use soundblaster? | 06:57 |
| vince | The Intel card should be the primay, I use the soundblaster for my headset for things like skype and Vent however everything is defaulting to the soundblaster by default | 06:57 |
| kevin__ | hello, i am on an hp tx2500 and ive been following this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5469447#post5469447 im at the point where the stylus should work but is not calibrated. it says to post the output of a bunch of commands, so here they are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/108138/ can anybody help me get my wacom stylus working (I've already looked at a lot of guides)? | 06:57 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: dump question how do I kill them? | 06:57 |
| zaapiel | ah nevermind | 06:58 |
| zaapiel | figured it out | 06:58 |
| zaapiel | :D | 06:58 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: killall conky | 06:58 |
| arvind_khadri | vince, oh ok... did you check the community documentation ? | 06:58 |
| vince | arbinf_khadri : No the soundblaster is the secondary. Onboard Intel should be the primary | 06:58 |
| ActionParsnip | kevin__: have you enabled the wacom lines in xorg.conf? | 06:58 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: done and started conky again | 06:58 |
| arvind_khadri | vince, oh ok... did you check the community documentation ? | 06:58 |
| arvind_khadri | vince, and ya which Ubuntu?? | 06:59 |
| vince | arvind_khandri: I have searched. Mos things say to use the asoundconf-gtk to change the default sound card or to go to System -> Preferences -> Sound to manually set the device. I have done so and it still uses the soundblaster | 06:59 |
| General | Can anyone help me with my video card troubles? | 06:59 |
| vince | Ubuntu 8.10 | 06:59 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: ok, is there only one conky running? | 06:59 |
| ActionParsnip | General: ask the room, it will probably answer | 06:59 |
| General | ActionParsnip: Is that not what I am doing? | 07:00 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: yes but still not visible in alt+tab | 07:00 |
| ActionParsnip | General: no, you asked a hugely broad question, be as specific as you can and ask the room | 07:00 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: hmm strange | 07:00 |
| incadudeF | im on ubuntu 8.10. How can i change the gnome panel text color? | 07:01 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: I second that do you need me to paste the script? | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: if you use a different ~/.conkyrc does it work ok | 07:01 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, I'm finding all kinds of install reports with your motherboard ... nothing specific to yours yet I _think_ | 07:01 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: still experimenting with these so I can't really confirm it | 07:01 |
| arvind_khadri | vince, even if you disable the one you dont want its being used?? | 07:02 |
| kevin__ | ActionParsnip: well, the guide doesnt have me do that, so no. | 07:02 |
| vince | I haven't tried to disable the Soundblaster, I need both to stay active | 07:02 |
| kevin__ | ActionParsnip: i get file read errors when i try to 'cat /dev/ttyS0' and 'cat /dev/input/wacom' | 07:02 |
| mountx | evening | 07:02 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, try booting linux; when it gets to the point where it seems to crash, press ctl-alt-f2, see if you can log in there. | 07:03 |
| arvind_khadri | vince, activate them when you need it | 07:03 |
| incadudeF | im on ubuntu 8.10. How can i change the gnome panel text color? | 07:03 |
| ActionParsnip | kevin__: you will need those sections so they work, have a look for xorg.conf wacom | 07:03 |
| bluefox83 | i am having trouble setting a password for ubuntu's samba server | 07:03 |
| c_webkit | nickrud: ok i'll try in the evening | 07:03 |
| gareth__ | help please, my ubuntu box can't see my wifi box, but my ibook can? | 07:03 |
| bluefox83 | what program do i use to set a password in samba? | 07:03 |
| mountx | incadudeF, I use emerald to style everything out | 07:03 |
| ActionParsnip | bluefox83: sudo smbpasswd <your username> | 07:03 |
| c_webkit | but can i load ubuntu on the extended partition | 07:04 |
| bluefox83 | ActionParsnip, actually that didn't work :( | 07:04 |
| nickrud | c_webkit, np. you can find me here too often :) If you can, have a machine you can talk on while you run the non-functioning one | 07:04 |
| vince | arvind_khadri: But when I activate it won't it mess up the main imput? I need them to be distinct and separate. I want only what I specifically tell to use the sound blaster to use it. Everything else SHOULD default to the Intel Realtek Card. I can't just use one at a time otherise I might as well just be switching Jacks. | 07:04 |
| c_webkit | nah thts not possible.. | 07:04 |
| ActionParsnip | bluefox83: use the same pass as your login and you should be ok. I've noticed this is the case but i could be wrong | 07:04 |
| c_webkit | i have one m/c | 07:04 |
| c_webkit | :( | 07:04 |
| General | Room: I have recently reformatted a winXP laptop to run Intrepid, and am having minor Graphical glitches (for one example, when I open a new firefox window, I get a brief second of static within the window, before everything is fine) but now when I try installing programs with wine (Sims 2) my screen goes all sorts of wonky, and freezes. Talked to the guys over at #winehq, and they say it's a video card problem. Do I need a driver/deb p | 07:04 |
| General | ackage? what is going on? | 07:04 |
| c_webkit | i will talk to you via office | 07:04 |
| talntid | General: Disable your special effects and try again. Let us know if that is what is causing it. | 07:05 |
| kevin__ | ActionParsnip: those sections mean _nothing_ if the device is not outputting anything on the appropriate device, so i dont see the point. did i miss something? | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | General: have you installed video drivers? | 07:05 |
| vince | General : What kind of video card do you have? | 07:05 |
| bluefox83 | ActionParsnip, it's sudo smbpasswd username | 07:05 |
| davexoxide | how would I enable keyboard shortcuts in terminal for non root users http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/shortcuts.html | 07:05 |
| mountx | General, did you load ati/nvidia restricted? | 07:05 |
| === TwoD is now known as TwoD_ | ||
| bluefox83 | ActionParsnip, do i need to restart samba for it to take affect? | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | kevin__: as far as i recall, you need those sections for stylusses etc | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | bluefox83: can't hurt: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 07:06 |
| === TwoD_ is now known as TwoD | ||
| arvind_khadri | vince, just activate/deactivate and check out... | 07:06 |
| kevin__ | ActionParsnip: i agree, but the devices/drivers have to work before xorg.conf comes into play. the drivers are not working. | 07:06 |
| ActionParsnip | kevin__: have you read through dmesg | less ? | 07:07 |
| bluefox83 | ActionParsnip, i can't seem to get it to mount in nautilus though D: | 07:07 |
| General | talntid: I and using AWN, so I have to keep the special effects. | 07:07 |

| General | ActionParsnip: I don't know if I have. just ran update and upgrade | 07:08 |
| General | vince: How do I find out? | 07:08 |
| bluefox83 | ActionParsnip, i am not having any trouble mounting non-password protected shares | 07:08 |
| ActionParsnip | General: then you dont have video drivers installed, | 07:08 |
| kevin__ | ActionParsnip: i grepped my way through it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/108139/ | 07:08 |
| ActionParsnip | General: run lspci | grep -i vga | 07:08 |
| x_ | hi.. i have add compiz fusion but that program not appear at preference | 07:08 |
| General | mountx: I have no clue what that means, pardon the inexperience | 07:09 |
| mountx | n/p | 07:09 |
| ActionParsnip | General: it will show your video card, you can websearch from there to set it up | 07:09 |
| ActionParsnip | General: lspci will show all your hardware, grep just filters the output | 07:09 |
| mountx | General, you should go to System >> Administration >> Hardware Drivers and let us know what you see there | 07:09 |
| talntid | and he means you should type that into a terminal, General | 07:09 |

| szer0 | Hey I am wondering what ubuntu/linux kernel does if bad memory is detected (eg if it puts data in memory then it turns out corrupt) do programs crash or kernel freezes or what? | 07:11 |
| mountx | what happed when you ran lspci | grep -i vga? | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | kevin__: must be, id definately read dmesg to see what your kernel is up to | 07:12 |
| mountx | did you see your graphics card there? | 07:12 |
| dery | hei | 07:12 |
| kevin__ | ActionParsnip: roger that. will do | 07:12 |

| h4ckb0x7 | bazhang stop what? | 07:13 |
| Kevin` | szer0: although saying that the bad memory is "detected" is a little innacurate in the crash case. if you have something like ecc ram where you can actually detect problems, it won't crash | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | General: looks like it uses the standard "intel" driver: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-966733.html | 07:14 |
| h4ckb0x7 | who bashang | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | General: you have some websearching to do, the driver you need is part of a standard install which is good | 07:15 |

| connar | hello guys | 07:15 |
| connar | does anyone know about xmind | 07:15 |
| nickrud | h4ckb0x7, the stuff you're talking about is more appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic, since it's not specifically ubuntu support related (this channel's purpose) | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | General: until you tell your system to use good drivers for video your display will suck | 07:15 |
| glick | has anyone gotten a wg111T wireless usb dongle to work with ubuntu? | 07:15 |

| connar | do u know how to install xmind | 07:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Gilli: you dont need to worry about where they are, run the command and wine will be installed | 07:20 |
| mountx | usually a 'sudo apt-get install wine' in terminal works | 07:21 |
| nickrud | connar, you'd download the ubuntu deb from their site, then double click it. | 07:21 |
| connar | mountx please let me know if u how to install xmind | 07:21 |
| mountx | n/m Action already said what I just said | 07:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Gilli: just like when you run a system update, the packages are updated from othe repo, yet you dont know where they are and you dont care | 07:21 |
| nickrud | connar, but the usual caveat: 3d party software isn't supported here | 07:21 |
| mountx | connar, just a sec ... i will see if i can find it ... what is it? | 07:22 |
| connar | nickrud are u sure i can install xmind on ubuntu that way? | 07:22 |

| connar | please do so and help me out | 07:22 |
| glick | ok, so i have the usb id identifier of the device, what do i do now? | 07:23 |
| bazhang | Gilli, it is the software warehouse where ubuntu gets all its applications from; software repositories (or repos in abbreviated fashion) | 07:23 |
| nickrud | connar, mountx http://www.xmind.net/downloads/ | 07:23 |
| mountx | General, my g'f can't live w/out sims/spore ... i have her on a dual boot b/c ubuntu can't handle it ... I would suggest that if your graphics are giving you issues w/ it | 07:23 |

| General | Sad to think that while I have gone a ways in working on costomizing my laptop, 90% of it has been through others giving me the lines for terminal, with me not really knowing what most of it means. | 07:41 |
| bottiger | before I buy a new computer I should think about what? nvidia instead of ati? anuthing else? | 07:41 |

| ActionParsnip | ackbar: you wont get it in vmware | 07:41 |
| RachelA | tech question, my monitor (laptop LCD) is showing all the colors to be dull and washed out. my friend is looking at my computer through VNC and the colors seem totally normal to him, so it must be a display driver issue, but the update manager claims there are no restricted drivers for my card | 07:41 |
| nickrud | General, if you kept track of the commands, they make great google learning | 07:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ackbar: the community docs should be your best bet | 07:41 |
| ackbar | ok ill check it out | 07:41 |
| grinn | Fevrin: It doesn't do so on ubuntu ... it just kinda zooms in on the pointer | 07:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ackbar: wine needs a patch to run it | 07:41 |
| mountx | General, don't worry about it ... you'll figure it all out eventually ... just think windows only came naturally b/c that's all you knew | 07:42 |
| RachelA | and I have no idea what sort of graphics card this thing has | 07:42 |
| ackbar | i have guild wars workign in vmware but the characters are headless | 07:42 |

| ActionParsnip | freoedo: www.dll-files.com | 07:43 |

| ActionParsnip | MindVirus: kill it if you want, i'd check what it is | 07:47 |

| nickrud | RachelA, not certain about the hardware changes, but you can do it in X xgamma -gamma 1.0 should be what you see, 2.0 should be brighter. | 07:48 |

| rskumar_ | smokewon: uhh, then install grub in hd0 using the live CD | 09:54 |
| smokewon | ok, do you know of a walk through by any chance? | 09:55 |
| smokewon | i ran: | 09:55 |
| smokewon | sudo grub | 09:55 |
| smokewon | find /boot/grub/stage1, but of course that wont work cause i dont have linux installed | 09:55 |
| DJones | !grub | 09:55 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 09:55 |
| smokewon | thanks | 09:55 |
| smokewon | im geting: Error 15: File not found for both find /boot/grub/stage1 and /grub/stage1 | 09:56 |
| smokewon | so i should just go ahead and do setup(hd0) anyway? | 09:56 |
| rskumar_ | you need to have those in a /boot | 09:56 |
| smokewon | so that wont work in otherwords | 09:57 |
| angie | how do i make ubuntu secure | 09:57 |
| prodigel | hi all. how can I use grep to find something like this: INSERT INTO `persoane` ? | 09:57 |
| rskumar_ | waste a partition for this | 09:57 |
| smokewon | oh ok, so i just have to make a very small partition i take it? | 09:57 |
| rskumar_ | angie: ubuntu by default is secure to a acceptable level. you can enable firewall , | 09:57 |
| rskumar_ | and google, hardening ubuntu + linux | 09:58 |
| lch | hi, which Ubuntu can still be run on Pentium 2 machines? | 09:58 |
| lch | or better yet, which Xubuntu | 09:58 |
| smokewon | or should i just use the super grub disk, if that will achieve what im wanting to do? | 09:58 |
| angie | rskumar_: it is? | 09:59 |
| angie | rskumar_: is ther a way to move from ubutnu 32bit to 64 bit without reinstalling | 09:59 |
| rskumar_ | angie: yes, interchange the harddisk, the x64 will load the ubuntu in 32bit mode... | 10:00 |

| pier | i have vista and hardy on 1 disc, dual boot, vista has 90GB hardy 30GB, how can i take some space from vista and add it to hardy, without screwing anything? | 10:13 |

| bazhang | pier, first back up important data | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | pier: backup data then you can use gparted to resize | 10:14 |
| mv0 | that still didnt work | 10:14 |
| mv0 | do i need to reboot? | 10:14 |
| amitbk | bazhang: i use medibuntu, so i guess not | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | mv0: are you using 64bit? | 10:14 |
| mv0 | its a 64 bit computer | 10:15 |
| mv0 | but i installed the 32 bit os | 10:15 |
| barduck | is there a command or guide how to *completely* remove sendmail from ubuntu server? I used "apt-get remove" but there are still various traces of it all around my system. | 10:15 |

| ActionParsnip | zaapiel: theres a few distros customised so it all works outta the box | 10:17 |
| jigp | bazhang even in k-menu there is no vmware I con | 10:17 |
| zaapiel | n order to get those things working, you would need to install a custom kernel and make several changes to the configuration. Eeebuntu has all of those changes made by default. It works out of the box. | 10:17 |
| bazhang | jigp, its virtualbox not vmware | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: are they sata / pata? | 10:17 |
| zaapiel | eeebuntu might be way to do | 10:17 |

| boozer | :) | 10:21 |
| mohadib | debian_noob: ah, na, not me | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: thats why its not detected, one must be master and one must be slave if they are connected to the same channel | 10:21 |
| mohadib | as is, i have to restart x and use a config that only starts one monitor | 10:22 |
| bazhang | jigp, start up the app after first inserting xp disk into cd/dvd drive | 10:22 |
| mohadib | this is a major drag | 10:22 |

| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: if they are both slave or both slave on the sma echannel, neither is detected | 10:22 |
| bazhang | jigp, if you give the virtual machine enough hard drive space sure. | 10:23 |

| debian_noob | jigp:40 would beallright | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jigp: depends what the vm is for | 10:24 |
| bazhang | jigp, no idea as I never use windows xp in a vm. you should check the tutorials on the web for a walkthrough | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jigp: to how much space, a very limited use vm would need maybe a few gb, a virtual sl server would need considerably more | 10:24 |
| jester- | hi | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | jigp: so there is no "correct" amount to assign | 10:25 |
| debian_noob | jigp:right | 10:25 |

| CoUrPsE|DeAd | 0.o~ 0bottu is wrong, its 371KB! | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | CoUrPsE|DeAd: whats 9k between friends eh | 10:36 |
| amitbk | bazhang: that's a good question, let me check | 10:36 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | lol. | 10:36 |
| FazLeeeN | hello, yesterday i installed ubuntu on my laptop, 8.10, and everything seemed fine. Then after a reboot, i see ubuntu loading bar but i get a blank screen after. I can hear the drums and i can get into the console. also may be good to mention, i updated the system before rebooting. any idea? | 10:36 |
| Dorana | Will the "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" ruin any configurations or installes software on a ubuntu servermachine? | 10:36 |
| amitbk | bazhang: i think i used them to install freemind | 10:36 |
| erUSUL | Dorana: nnope it will only install additional software | 10:37 |
| amitbk | bazhang: the version in the repos is not up to date | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | amitbk: do you have a carridge retirn at the end of the line | 10:37 |
| Dorana | erUSUL Ahh, so it's a safe way to get a GUI on a server machine so I can leave it in care of someone that can't use console commands? | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | amitbk: you could always just visit: http://www.opera.com/download/ | 10:38 |
| erUSUL | Dorana: it is safe afaics | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | amitbk: and download the deb | 10:38 |
| strangeseraph | brb | 10:38 |
| bazhang | amitbk, that is odd | 10:38 |
| Dorana | erUSUL thanks alot | 10:38 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | HUmmm. | 10:38 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Mu bluetooth is borked. | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Dorana: its more secure to not run an x server | 10:38 |
| bazhang | amitbk, there are two other options ; one is get the opera repo or get the 3rd party deb, both of which will break package management | 10:39 |
| Dorana | ActionParsnip : I know, thats why I didn't use X on it while I was admin, now I quit that job and they want me to install an X so that someone else can manage the server in ways of moving files around etc | 10:40 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Should there be Bluetooth optin in System/Prefences? | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | CoUrPsE|DeAd: try: sudo hciconfig hci0 reset | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | CoUrPsE|DeAd: that will blank off your bluetooth settings | 10:41 |
| shams_ | FazLeeeN: Try remove xorg.conf in /etc/X11 but make backup | 10:41 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Didnt do anything. | 10:41 |
| dubi | hello can anyone help me with IceWm? I need to start icewmbg before i start icewm. but i don't know how to make this happen. thanks | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Dorana: you could install a vnc server so they can log in graphically via vnc but there will only be a virtual x server while they are logged in | 10:42 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | I dont have a bluetooth icon, i have a black page in my system tray, and i dont have a option for bluetooth settings in prefences or adminstrTION. | 10:42 |
| Kartagis | hello | 10:42 |
| FazLeeeN | shams_ i think i've tried that byt didn't work, let me try again | 10:42 |
| Kartagis | how do i know whether my imap certificate or postfix certificate expired? | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | dubi: try icewmbg; icewm | 10:42 |
| Dorana | Hmmm. Does VNC really have that support? I was thinking about using Reflection X on it, but unsure if it requires X on the server itself | 10:43 |
| dubi | ActionParsnip, i usually login and see the ubuntu log in sign - so i type my username then password then it's already inside icewm. | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | dubi: is icewm not an option in gdm / kdm? | 10:43 |
| rn0308982 | im in a predicament with firestarter, can i get a hand with it? | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | rn0308982: ask the room, it will probably answer | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !firestarter | 10:44 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 10:44 |
| dubi | it is. and if i choose that option i log in without a wallpaper. i read the preferences file to set the background and it says i should run icewmbg before running icewm. i dont really get it | 10:44 |
| dubi | ActionParsnip: sorry for noob question | 10:45 |
| FazLeeeN | shams_: rename the file then just reboot right? | 10:45 |
| rn0308982 | i did it thru command line last nite, i need to turn off mon0 thru mon6 | 10:46 |
| rn0308982 | i just dont remember how | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | dubi: you need to ad the line in startsimple.sh before the icewm line | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | rn0308982: try: history | less | 10:46 |
| rn0308982 | im on a live usb that dont save any of my history | 10:47 |
| rn0308982 | only saves to /home | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | rn0308982: the bash history is in your home | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | rn0308982: its stored in ~/.bash_history | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | dubi: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-desktop-x-windows/12848-icewm-cant-set-up-wallpaper.html | 10:48 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | Well bugger, My Bluetooth seems borked. | 10:48 |
| dubi | ActionParsnip: thanks, i was sort of reading your previous sentence 5 times now lol | 10:48 |
| dubi | thanks again | 10:48 |
| rn0308982 | its not in there, i have the last 78 lines only | 10:49 |
| Kartagis | how do i know whether my imap certificate or postfix certificate expired? | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | rn0308982: bah | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | rn0308982: im suprised its not saved | 10:50 |
| Kartagis | when i connect with mutt, i get the warning it has expired | 10:50 |
| bulwynkl | !vmware | 10:50 |
| rn0308982 | i swear it aint there | 10:50 |

| amitbk | bazhang: sorry for the delay, i just got back. what do you mean it will break the package management if i install from the opera repo? | 10:51 |
| bazhang | amitbk, depending on outside sources is always a risk; the 3rd party deb is what I should have said | 10:52 |
| bohne | does somebody knows how i you ntfs partion on ubuntu? | 10:52 |
| amitbk | bazhang: so you would rather d/l the specific deb than add the opera repo? | 10:52 |
| bazhang | amitbk, just a second I will try to install opera from repos | 10:52 |
| bullgard4 | What is meant by apt's 'Meta-index file'? Update Manager reports: "Unable to find expected entry in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)" | 10:53 |

| drash | amitbk bazhang: been using opera repo for months now, works just fine here | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | bohne: what about ntfs partitions, can you rephrase please | 10:53 |
| amitbk | drash bazhang: do you guys have any idea why opera is no longer on the ubutnu repo? | 10:54 |
| kavitha | any one knows about enabling audio in plugin src | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | amitbk: ask the repo maintainers | 10:54 |

| ActionParsnip | amitbk: theres a deb on the opra site, install it with: sudo dpkg -i <debfile> | 10:55 |
| amitbk | ActionParsnip: but then i won't get updates | 10:55 |
| kavitha | any one knows abt audio MIME type registration | 10:56 |
| _0x404 | i going to polish channel | 10:56 |
| _0x404 | bye | 10:56 |
| FazLeeeN | anyone can assist on connecting to wireless network using the terminal? key provided | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | amitbk: true, but if its not on the repos you will have to do that or find another repo with it on, maybe opera have their own repo | 10:56 |
| Skaag | is there an ubuntu server specific channel? | 10:56 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | ActionParsnip, For futher refences, reinstalling 'gnome-bluetooth' restores all usb to default. | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | CoUrPsE|DeAd: cool man | 10:57 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | And dont follow the stoopid instructions i found on a forum to get nokia phones connected to pc's.... | 10:57 |
| Skaag | I want to replace my silly Windows 2008 server with Ubuntu Server | 10:57 |
| ezerhoden | FazLeeeN: you mean something like iwconfig eth1 essid <essid> key <key> ? | 10:57 |
| CoUrPsE|DeAd | erm, restores all bluetooth to default i meant sorry. | 10:57 |
| Skaag | is there a "domain" style login solution I can use easily? | 10:57 |
| amitbk | ActionParsnip: yes, they do, i just prefered to use the ubuntu one over opera's as i thought it gets tested better that way | 10:57 |

| FazLeeeN | ezerhoden yeah | 10:58 |
| _generic_ | Hello I'm working on my own Icon pack. Does any one know how nautilus knows how to display its own icon for ~/Desktop? I would really like to replicate this behavior for the ~/Music and ~/Documents folders. Can some one help me please? | 10:58 |
| kavitha | no | 10:58 |
| vigo | Skaag: Yes,,,,looking it up | 10:58 |
| drash | kavitha: what are you looking for exactly ? adding/editing mime-type associations ? | 10:58 |
| Deany | umm gonna give Wammu a try | 10:58 |
| kavitha | editing | 10:59 |
| Skaag | vigo: I see now that Samba 4.x is supposed to provide Active Directory services | 10:59 |
| drash | kavitha: i find assogiate a very nice tool for that | 10:59 |
| ezerhoden | FazLeeeN: ok, well there you go. that should do it. i believe dhclient eth1 or whatever your device name is will then request an ip address once connected. | 10:59 |
| Skaag | I'm not really sure I even want active directory | 10:59 |
| bazhang | amitbk, so the wiki is outdated as I cannot install from there either | 10:59 |
| bazhang | amitbk, so you can use opera repos or get the deb | 10:59 |
| kavitha | which one? | 10:59 |
| Skaag | I mean, I am willing to be very open minded here, as long as I have a single sign-on, one server that holds all authentication information for the local network | 10:59 |
| amitbk | bazhang: ok, thanks. i'll go with the opera repos. | 11:00 |
| _0x404 | please kick | 11:00 |
| vigo | Skaag: Yes, I was playing with Sun a while ago, same sorta thing | 11:00 |
| tuxfreak | #h | 11:00 |
| Skaag | I see | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Skaag: then you need an ldap server / service | 11:01 |
| tuxfreak | i*ve got a question | 11:01 |
| kavitha | actually i hav to enable audio in my videoplayer. | 11:01 |
| Skaag | ok that's simple enough | 11:01 |

| Skaag | I know how to setup ldap | 11:02 |
| _0x404 | please kick me | 11:02 |
| drash | kavitha: ok, assogiate is in the regular ubuntu repo's, so either install via synaptic or "sudo apt)get install assogiate" | 11:02 |

| alex_sleiborg | michaelyoa: I think it's somekind og intel onboard, and the drivers where installed native while i installed kubuntu | 11:08 |
| vigo | I dunno | 11:08 |

| Gotu | hi can please tell me which is the best antivirus for linux which i can install here | 11:27 |
| drash | kavitha: might be wise to check the mplayer website and forums if you haven't already, can't help you on that sorry | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | barduck: is synaptic open? | 11:28 |
| barduck | ActionParsnip: its ubuntu server | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !best | Gotu | 11:28 |
| ubottu | Gotu: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 11:28 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | Gotsu theres an antivirus in the add/remove | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | barduck: did you run the command as sudo? | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !antivirus | gotu | 11:28 |
| ubottu | gotu: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 11:28 |
| barduck | ActionParsnip: yes, sure | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !fixapt | barduck | 11:28 |
| ubottu | barduck: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 11:28 |

| dns | srv it's one of the errors that will go away, when you do an apt-get update you download a file that has info about the packages eg http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/partner/binary-i386/Packages | 12:24 |

| netou | The drive mounts correctly in Windows without any issues but I have tried on 2 different machines running ubuntu and it will not mount | 12:26 |
| dns | srv it happens occasionally when you download it in the middle of the mirror syncing with the master repository | 12:26 |

| ActionParsnip | bn43: gimme a sec | 12:27 |
| dubi | ActionParsnip, but i dont use windows anymore ;) ubuntu rocks! | 12:27 |
| dns | srv there could be a bug that you downloaded a version of the file that was corrupted and you changed your clock so your local copy assumed it was up to date because it was newer than the mirrors version of the file | 12:28 |

| ormecuro | ActionParsnip: sorry i don't understand,Can i use 5.1 settings for my 4.1 surround system? | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | netou: then read dmesg | tail after unplugging the device then attatching it. FAT32 is fully supported by the kernel | 12:29 |
| gordonjcp | ti9m: well, it kind of depends on the response you want, you could do a broadcast ping, or you could use nmap to ping a range of addresses | 12:29 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there... is ubuntu a better choice for web developers ...compared to windows ? | 12:29 |
| gordonjcp | ti9m: but all that would really do is tell you what is responding to ping | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ormecuro: oh i thought you had 5.1 | 12:29 |
| bn43 | ActionParsnip: I have done that - printer not listed nor do any of the ppd files of the other models work | 12:30 |
| gordonjcp | silv3r_m00n: depends what you want to do | 12:30 |
| ti9m | gordonjcp:ok | 12:30 |
| gordonjcp | silv3r_m00n: for me, yes it is, because I don't care about using Photoshop and write the backend code | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: could try it a few weeks, see what you think | 12:30 |
| silv3r_m00n | ActionParsnip: its been over a month that i shifted all development work here in ubuntu... there are a few points like fast ftp connection , easy ssh and faster system | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ormecuro: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=141004 | 12:31 |
| silv3r_m00n | i want to know more | 12:31 |
| dns | srv well i am not sure why you have the problem, perhaps you or your isp has a proxy that has the bad file | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: if yu like it keep it, "best" is a user experince, not a massed concensus | 12:31 |
| xxploit | question: is there any fixes for the brasero problem with wodim, failing on all burns? | 12:31 |
| silv3r_m00n | ActionParsnip: hmm yes | 12:32 |
| gordonjcp | silv3r_m00n: what kind of thing are you trying to do? | 12:32 |
| silv3r_m00n | gordonjcp: php , python and rails | 12:32 |
| silv3r_m00n | websites , scripts and desktop apps using sqlite | 12:32 |
| srv | dns: my ISP has censorship appliances installed, there is another censorship node in the telecommunications ministry as well, maybe that causes the problem | 12:33 |
| gordonjcp | silv3r_m00n: well the advantage with that is you can run basically an exact copy of your server configuration on your desktop | 12:33 |
| netou | ActionParsnip: I'm going to output the few lines of dmesg that matter, hope that doesn't constitute spam | 12:33 |
| gordonjcp | netou: pastebin | 12:33 |
| silv3r_m00n | gordonjcp: yes thats another good point since most hosts are linux based | 12:33 |
| ormecuro | ActionParsnip:there is not an option about "4 channel mod" in switches tab? | 12:33 |
| gordonjcp | silv3r_m00n: particularly if you use something like rails or django, you can - with a bit of clever trickery - use *exactly* the same code on both | 12:33 |
| silv3r_m00n | gordonjcp: hmm .. yes | 12:34 |
| gordonjcp | silv3r_m00n: that's not to say you couldn't do it on Windows if you knew how, but I know how to do it in Linux | 12:34 |
| srv | dns: I have also tried "sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True" and "sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true" | 12:34 |
| dns | srv yes that seems likely | 12:34 |
| ormecuro | ActionParsnip: and the oher problem is sound is very low although volume is full | 12:34 |
| netou | gordonjcp: Thanks | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | ormecuro: it seems well documented if you websearch: ubuntu 4.1 sound | 12:34 |

| Stargazer | Hey guys, i'm installing Ubuntu on the same machine/hard drive and i need to know where the mount point is. | 12:37 |
| dns | srv well you could just change it to http:// to ftp:// and see what happens (cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup first) | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Stargazer: installing it on the same machine as what? | 12:37 |
| Stargazer | ActionParsnip, what do you mean ? | 12:38 |
| srv | dns: ok | 12:38 |
| netou | ActionParsnip: were those last few ormecuro messages meant for me? | 12:38 |
| ormecuro | ActionParsnip: no, does not say | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Stargazer: you can't just say same machine/hard drive without saying what it is on the same drive as | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Stargazer: its like saying "my beer is the same" | 12:38 |
| === srv is now known as alpace | ||
| === alpace is now known as alpaca | ||
| alpaca | sorry | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Stargazer: "same as what" is the next question, the statement is missing a piece of information | 12:39 |
| Stargazer | ActionParsnip, it's on the same drive as another ubuntu install... going to install this one so i can extract some files as a replacement. | 12:39 |
| netou | ActionParsnip: I'm assuming you wanted me to check fdisk for /dev/sdd and not ormecuro and sdd isn't in fdisk at all | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Stargazer: if its another *buntu theres no real advantage in having 2 installs unless its to play, what *buntu are you installing? | 12:40 |
| strangeseraph | eh | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Stargazer: if you want to see your mount points where your current system is mounting you can read /etc/fstab. If you want to have a clean install of the other *buntu you will need another partition to install / to but can use the same partition as the standing install for /swap | 12:41 |
| Stargazer | ActionParsnip: they're both Ubuntu 8.10. i messed with some /etc files and it's locked into a Read only system... i am goinng to install this one to extract those files and use them as a replacement. | 12:41 |
| Stargazer | Oh, so i can use / as a mointpoint even though the other partition uses it ? (@ ActionParsnip ) | 12:42 |
| _generic_ | Hello I'm working on my own Icon pack. Does any one know how nautilus knows how to display its own icon for ~/Desktop? I would really like to replicate this behavior for the ~/Music and ~/Documents folders. Can some one help me please? | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Stargazer: you could use: 'sudo chmod -R 755 /' which will make them full access for owner (root) and read/executable for everyone else in the world | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Stargazer: if you want to copy over the files, you could create a new partition after resizing what you have and install to that and copy over, Im not sure thats a great soloution but thats how I'd do it | 12:44 |
| Stargazer | ActionParsnip: i've already an empty partition for this install. will using / as the moint point affect my other install ? | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Stargazer: yes as thats the mount point for the running install, you'd have 2 installs and the new partitions will be mounted as / in that boot | 12:46 |

| Ryder51 | Anyone use gimp | 12:52 |
| Dr_willis | Stargazer, or figure out what files and what package gthey came from and use the package manager to restore them | 12:52 |
| Dr_willis | Ryder51, lots of people do. :) | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | connar: i think its an ownership thing, you can test by renaming ~/.mozilla then rerunning it, you will get a stock profile. If its still bad the app needs reinstalling | 12:52 |

| ziroday | bliZZardz: is it the noise you were making? | 12:53 |
| connar | renaming ~/.mozilla to what ? | 12:53 |

| Dr_willis | read only? how come its read only? | 13:03 |
| gordonjcp | Stargazer: you might use apt-get remove <thing>, or apt-get install <thing> | 13:03 |
| RocketLauncher | does my 1280x1024 @ 60hz resolution have anything to do with it (yes i use 60hz) | 13:03 |

| Stargazer | Gordonjcp, it's a read-only file system... no way i'm going to be able to use either of those commands to remove or add something. | 13:03 |

| gordonjcp | Stargazer: hmm, so how has the filesystem become read-only? | 13:06 |
| jan_here | if a package only lists the MOTU list as maintainer, should I mail bugs/solutions there or are there more individual contact possibilities? | 13:06 |

| Dr_willis | ecor6633, now a days. its proberly best to learn to use ssh and not use ftp. but on a local network its not that big a security issue. but ssh can be so handy | 13:12 |
| gordonjcp | Stargazer: maybe you could try booting as single-user and running fsck, to check that the filesystem is clean | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | FireFox: do you know who it was? | 13:12 |
| gordonjcp | ecor6633: use sftp or scp, these days | 13:12 |
| jrib | FireFox, ActionParsnip: I've already banned the ip | 13:12 |
| FireFox | no I have no clue | 13:12 |
| FireFox | ok thank jrib | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jrib: that'll do it | 13:12 |
| ecor6633 | Dr_willis: i transfered today the files through scp and it took me more than an hour | 13:12 |
| gordonjcp | ecor6633: how big are the files, and how fast is the link? | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | ecor6633, is this a linux to linux setup? | 13:13 |
| ecor6633 | I'd like to get easy access for linux and windows | 13:13 |
| ecor6633 | but server is ubuntu | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ecor6633: setup a samba server :) | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ecor6633: then all clients can access it | 13:13 |
| ecor6633 | approx. 30Gb and other smaller | 13:13 |
| gordonjcp | ecor6633: that would take about an hour | 13:14 |
| ecor6633 | it is RJ45 cable i think still 100Mb/s | 13:14 |

| ecor6633 | ActionParsnip: which ftp server ? | 13:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ecor6633: remember to set TCP_NODELAY in /etc/samba/smb.conf ;) | 13:17 |
| ecor6633 | ActionParsnip: yes thanks | 13:18 |
| Stargazer | ActionParsnip, gordonjcp: it says / is clean. gives me number of files and blocks too. | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ecor6633: theres a tonne, vsftpd, powerftpd | 13:18 |
| ecor6633 | ActionParsnip: i know but how choose one ? just randomly ? | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ecor6633: try a few to see which you prefer, there is no "best" in software options | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !best | 13:21 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 13:21 |

| linux_newbie | KemAWag: sorry for the delay... but my linux only has 1gb left so is that possible to install windowsxp to another partition via vbox ? | 14:06 |
| ecor6633 | ubottu: yes but what about harddisk partition tables etc ... i really would like cloning | 14:06 |
| gordonjcp | paul68: I don't have dcc set up here, y'see | 14:06 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:06 |
| pedrotech_ | is there a way to redirect the shell output to clipboard? (For example: #pwd | "clipboard and then paste the contents in gedit) | 14:07 |
| ecor6633 | mick02: yes same machines | 14:07 |
| pedrotech_ | is there a way to redirect the shell output to clipboard? (For example: #pwd | "clipboard" and then paste the contents in gedit) | 14:07 |
| lopin | gordonjcp, I know that the windows driver, when installed, might be able to tell me more, but I can't get windows running on this box yet... | 14:07 |
| lopin | At all... | 14:07 |
| jjabez | could someone give me a hand debugging an irc collision | 14:07 |
| gordonjcp | lopin: and it doesn't work with just *no* options? I used a cheap crappy Packard-Bell card that was about a tenner in PC World, it worked perfectly with no options | 14:07 |
| jrib | pedrotech_: xclip | 14:07 |
| victorash | hm.. i'm back | 14:07 |
| jjabez | irq collision | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | pedrotech pwd > ~/file.txt | 14:07 |
| mick02 | ecor6633 have you got an external usb drive with 4Gb free? | 14:07 |
| pedrotech_ | jrib: thans ! | 14:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jjabez, Is your nick registered. | 14:07 |
| pedrotech_ | jrib: thanks ! | 14:07 |
| lopin | gordonjcp, I'm not getting it to work... | 14:08 |
| ecor6633 | mick02: that could be possible | 14:08 |
| jjabez | Jack_Sparrow: no I don't think so | 14:08 |
| lopin | gordonjcp, And, it's missing the eeprom, so linux has no freakin clue as to which it is... | 14:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jjabez, never mind, you changed your question | 14:08 |
| Temppu | ok. lets try again | 14:08 |
| gordonjcp | lopin: not sure, then | 14:08 |
| victorash | ubuntu is running in low graphics mode. your screen , graphic card, adn imput device setting could not be detected corectly.You will need to configure these yourself | 14:08 |
| victorash | this is error that appears on startup | 14:09 |
| lopin | gordonjcp, Well, do you know of where I can look to get the numbers to set it to NTSC, so I can just go through the 140, instead of the 140xwhatever? | 14:09 |
| victorash | yan ideea somebody? | 14:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !details | 14:09 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | pedrotech_: you can output direct to text files using > | 14:09 |
| dmsuperman | I can't seem to find iso's for 8.10 intel 64bit, anybody happen to know where they're at? | 14:09 |
| oCean_ | pedrotech_: I think you might like "xsel" - for example "echo yoyo | xsel" wil put the yoyo on clipboard/under middle mouse button | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | oCean_: oooh, i like that | 14:10 |
| gordonjcp | lopin: not offhand, I didn't need to fiddle with mine at all :-/ | 14:10 |
| kj4 | how do i know if my intel processor supports 64 bit intrepid? | 14:10 |
| oCean_ | ActionParsnip: xsel is nice indeed :) | 14:10 |
| victorash | i'm runnig ubuntu 8.10 | 14:10 |
| victorash | on kde | 14:10 |
| pedrotech_ | thanks oCean_ | 14:10 |
| tritium | !64bit | kj4 | 14:10 |
| ubottu | kj4: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 14:10 |
| pedrotech_ | I will try it | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | kj4: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 14:10 |
| mick02 | ecor6633 trust me this is so simple your mother could do it!!!! Download and burn the Clonezilla ISO file onto a CD. Boot the machine that you want to clone using the CD. Keep clicking Enter until you get an option asking you if you want to restore an image or create an image ... choose create an image, it will ask you where you want to save your image to, choose your HDD ... let it run and create it. When you have an image created boot the OTHER PC using C | 14:10 |
| mick02 | lonezilla but this time choose restore image instead of create image and it will copy the image onto your other PC | 14:10 |
| Temppu | I have Asus Pundit p2-m3a3200 with AMD athlon 64 x2 on it. 4gb of ram and ati hd3450. I can't install ubuntu, because kernel panics, or if used acpi=off, it just goes to shell. Ubuntu 8.10 | 14:10 |
| dmsuperman | I can only find the amd64 alternate 8.10 installer, anybody know where intel64 alternate 8.10 is at? | 14:10 |
| oCean_ | pedrotech_: sure, think you have to install it | 14:10 |
| mick02 | ecor6633 Simple! | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | Temppu | 14:11 |
| ubottu | Temppu: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 14:11 |
| lopin | gordonjcp, Well, thanks anyway. I appreciate the help... | 14:11 |
| jrib | dmsuperman: amd64 is what you want | 14:11 |
| pedrotech_ | of course ;-) | 14:11 |
| kj4 | ActionParsnip, which line of cpuinfo? | 14:11 |
| paul68 | gordonjcp: sorry can't access my server at this point | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | kj4: what does model name say? | 14:12 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: is there to your knowledge a way to clear out the window arround the terminal only so that you only have the terminal screen without any window arround it ? | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: like a frameless terminal? | 14:13 |
| ecor6633 | mick02: i'll try | 14:13 |
| victorash | ubuntu is running in low graphics mode. your screen , graphic card, adn imput device setting could not be detected corectly.You will need to configure these yourself.I'm using ubuntu 8.10 Kde | 14:13 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: yes | 14:13 |
| Milk_Rulz | how do I make programs start automaticly, I tried using sessions in System > Preferances but when I add a shortcut to command it does nothing? | 14:13 |
| tomcat_ha | i installed lm-sensors and everything | 14:13 |
| tomcat_ha | but i cant see gpu temperatures | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: you can have the terminal mbedded to your desktop | 14:13 |
| tomcat_ha | it only displays cpu temperatures | 14:13 |
| mick02 | ActionParsnip have you ever used iFolder in Ubuntu? | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mick02: never | 14:13 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: how do I do that? | 14:13 |
| kj4 | ActionParsnip, Pentium 4 2.8Ghz | 14:14 |
| tritium | tomcat_ha: have you run sensors-detect? | 14:14 |
| tomcat_ha | yes | 14:14 |
| tomcat_ha | its wierd because considering this is a laptop | 14:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | victorash, You will need to provide details before someone can help you. Which version of Ubuntu, what video card chipset and if you treid to manually install any video drivers and how they were installed | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: http://www.tectonic.co.za/wordpress/?p=1719 | 14:14 |
| tomcat_ha | there would be a gpu temp monitor | 14:14 |
| CyL | How do ichange the launchers on applications menu to reflect my own command line? | 14:14 |
| mick02 | Milk_Rulz you have to add it to your Session in System menu | 14:15 |
| tomcat_ha | and i could check my gpu temp when i still had windows on this | 14:15 |
| tomcat_ha | with everest | 14:15 |
| tomcat_ha | Should i reinstall gfx card driver? | 14:15 |
| tritium | !enter | tomcat_ha | 14:15 |
| ubottu | tomcat_ha: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 14:15 |
| * gordonjcp wonders why you'd even bother checking GPU temperatures, unless you had a problem | 14:16 | |
| ActionParsnip | kj4: i'd say 32bit personally, how much ram do you have? | 14:16 |
| slimz | tritium, yeah im trying kickstart now, thanks | 14:16 |
| Pirate_Hunter | how can i set screen to work properly, controls like shift+page up/down dont work etc? | 14:16 |
| grindking | tomcat_ha: there is a screenlet for gpu temperature i think | 14:16 |
| tomcat_ha | screenlet? | 14:16 |
| tritium | slimz: great, good luck | 14:16 |
| tritium | kj4: unless you truly need > 3GB RAM support, I'd stick with 32-bit. You won't see a performance gain with 64-bit. | 14:17 |
| kj4 | 2GB ram | 14:17 |
| Temppu | any help? ubuntu 8.10 graphic installer goes to shell, and nothing happends. What to do? (64bit version) | 14:17 |
| gordonjcp | Temppu: try the 32-bit version? | 14:17 |
| kj4 | thanks for the advice, ActionParsnip and tritium | 14:18 |
| hwilde | tritium, tomcat_ha, I ran sensors-detect now how do I see stuff | 14:18 |
| Temppu | why? 4gb ram, i'd like to use it :) | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | kj4: 32bit will do you just fine | 14:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | how can i set screen to work properly, controls like shift+page up/down dont work etc? | 14:18 |
| hwilde | !keytouch | Pirate_Hunter | 14:18 |
| ubottu | Pirate_Hunter: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 14:18 |
| jjabez | right, details: ubuntu 8.10, system HP dx5150 mini tower. added new graphics card and usb peripherals including mouse failed to work. sometimes system fails to boot. added irqpoll to boot options and now usb works. suspect irq collision with new graphics card in pcie causing issue. how do I diagnose and fix. | 14:18 |
| grindking | tomcat_ha: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Screenlets/NVidiaScreenlet-38291.shtml or nvidia x settings has a temp monitor | 14:18 |
| kj4 | ActionParsnip, thanks, its a headless server that I am using as a sandbox, no real need for bloodyedged performance iguess | 14:19 |
| tritium | hwilde: "sensors" from the command line, or various applets | 14:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hwilde, wrong thing but thanx | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Temppu: run dmesg | less and read the kernel messages | 14:19 |
| tomcat_ha | I have a ati card | 14:19 |
| gordonjcp | Temppu: with 32-bit you get around 3.5G usable | 14:19 |
| Milk_Rulz | how do I move a shortcut using mv? | 14:19 |
| tomcat_ha | x1300 mobility to be exact | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: same as any other file | 14:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Milk_Rulz, read man mv | 14:19 |
| gordonjcp | Temppu: also it would help to determine if your machine is working properly | 14:19 |
| hwilde | Pirate_Hunter, with the keytouch thing you can customize almost anything | 14:19 |
| Myrtti | gordonjcp: o hai! | 14:19 |
| minche | anone of you palying supertux? | 14:19 |
| minche | *playing | 14:19 |
| Temppu | ActionParsnip: ok, hold on. | 14:19 |
| Milk_Rulz | ActionsParsnip: mv: cannot stat `Emesene': No such file or directory | 14:20 |
| gordonjcp | Myrtti: o hai! I are in yor channelz not gettin mai graphics workin ;-) | 14:20 |
| hwilde | tritium, ah I was trying lm-sensors thx. | 14:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hwilde: im trying to get screen working it is not a problem with the keys but the terminal especially when using ssh | 14:20 |
| gordonjcp | Myrtti: incidentally there's a girl in the branch of my bank I go to who looks scarily like you | 14:20 |
| tritium | hwilde: no problem | 14:20 |
| Temppu | gordonjcp: it should be working just fine. allthough, how would i know. :) i'm have to do some research | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: tab complete the filename, make sure you are in the same dir as the file to move | 14:21 |
| gordonjcp | Myrtti: same glasses and everything, I was a bit freaked out at first | 14:21 |
| Milk_Rulz | I have cd'd to the desktop where it is located | 14:21 |
| Mohammad[B] | hi all | 14:21 |
| pedrotech_ | jrib, Ocean: I successfully redirected shell output with xsel (For example this works: in the shell:#ls | xsel -b and then in gedit, I can paste the contents with ctrl-v.). | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: ok sweet. run: mv ./<filename> /path/to/net/location | 14:21 |
| pedrotech_ | thanks | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: tab complete the name so you know its good | 14:22 |
| Mohammad[B] | how to i can resolve it --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/108240/ ? please help me :( very important | 14:22 |
| hwilde | tritium, how come it doesnt show me the voltages, just cpu temp1 and temp2? | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Mohammad[B]: you cant use globbing for ssh connection | 14:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | how can i set screen to work properly, controls like shift+page up/down dont work etc? | 14:22 |
| Mohammad[B] | ActionParsnip, i can ssh to root user, but to this user i can't how resolve it ? | 14:22 |
| cored | anyone here ? | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: what are they supposed to do? | 14:23 |
| tritium | hwilde: you want to see core voltages? | 14:23 |
| cored | can u help me with xubuntu | 14:23 |
| Milk_Rulz | ActionParsnip: sorry I'm not fully understanding, could you give me an example what I would type if it was named "Emesene" and I want to move it to /usr/share/autostart | 14:23 |
| hwilde | tritium, yeah I want to see everything | 14:23 |
| cored | ive installed updates on my eepc 7.10 | 14:23 |
| cored | and wifi is not working | 14:23 |
| cored | #so the external hdd # | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: mv ./Emesene /usr/share/autostart | 14:23 |
| hwilde | tritium, in /etc/sensors.conf it says I can see input voltages etc | 14:23 |
| hwilde | cored, on my eepc i had to disable and re-enable the wifi sometimes due to sleep mode | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: make sure the case is identical. Linux is MASSIVELY CasE SenNSiTiVe | 14:24 |
| kj4 | gordonjcp: hello! | 14:24 |
| pozic | Every now and then the keyboard language changes, even though I am not aware of me doing anything that would cause that. What's the keybinding to change to some other keyboard layout? | 14:24 |
| Milk_Rulz | ActionParsnip: cannot stat `./Emesene': No such file or directory | 14:24 |
| tritium | hwilde: I'm not certain how to configure it to do that. | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Mohammad[B]: the ssh command will alwya fail, you can't ssh to an ip containing wildcards, you must use a full ip or server name | 14:24 |
| gordonjcp | kj4: hello | 14:24 |
| tomcat_ha | Im just going to reinstall my gfx card driver | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: does it have a capital E? | 14:25 |
| tomcat_ha | im going to get the official driver from the ati website | 14:25 |
| kj4 | gordonjcp, i recognize you from pound hamradio | 14:25 |
| gordonjcp | yes | 14:25 |
| Milk_Rulz | ActionParsnip: yeah I'm being capital sensitive, and yes it is a capital E | 14:25 |
| unop | ActionParsnip, that's not it .. he's tried unsuccessfully to log on too many times with that username | 14:25 |
| Mohammad[B] | ActionParsnip, yes this is full ip, i am stared it for publicing on IRC | 14:25 |
| unop | Mohammad[B], you'll have to wait sometime before trying again | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: use tab completion to check, if you try: mv ./E <then press tab here> it will complete the rest off the filename like in irc | 14:25 |
| Mohammad[B] | unomi, hmmm ok thanks ! | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Mohammad[B]: 209.*.204.* is not an ip address | 14:26 |
| Milk_Rulz | ActionParsnip: My computer just beeps, nothing happens | 14:26 |
| hwilde | tritium, the voltages are defined in my sensors.conf but when I run sensors it only shows cpu temp | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: is it on another users desktop, you have a rogue file somewhere. You could do it the easy way and remake the symlink in the folder you want | 14:27 |
| hwilde | !backup > cored | 14:27 |
| ubottu | cored, please see my private message | 14:27 |
| hwilde | anybody know how to get lm-sensors to show voltages? | 14:27 |
| fosco_ | hwilde: sudo sensors-detect && sensors | 14:28 |
| Milk_Rulz | ActionParsnip: I got it, I just had to remove the e and press tab, for some weird reason it's titled "emesene.desktop" | 14:28 |
| hwilde | fosco_, I did this and it only shows cpu1&2 temp. I was hoping to see voltages and such like sensors.conf hints at | 14:28 |
| Milk_Rulz | ActionParsnip: Thanks a lot for your help. | 14:28 |
| fosco_ | hwilde: so, you have no more sensors | 14:28 |
| hwilde | fosco_, wait, the modules it added to /etc/modules do not seem to be laoded in lsmod. | 14:29 |
| fosco_ | manually load them | 14:29 |
| hwilde | fosco_, yep, all kinds of stuff now | 14:29 |
| hwilde | fosco_, sensors-detect should probly do that if you are upstream | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: you said it was capital e..why do you fool me boy ;) | 14:30 |
| hwilde | !eee | 14:30 |
| ubottu | Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: you'll need sudo to cp to /usr/share/autostart too, check case there too, you can tab complete to make double sure | 14:30 |
| kpenrose | After adding medibuntu to my software repositories, searching for anything from that site (e.g. acroread) in adept doesn't return anything, command line apt-get does work however. Why doesn't adept show the medibuntu pkgs? | 14:31 |

| Jack_Sparrow | np | 14:34 |
| bluej | dougl: yes, and have tried xorg reconfigure | 14:34 |
| Milk_Rulz | ActionParsnip: yeah that's the weird thing, it is capital e on the desktop. and Yeah I already did sudo, thanks :) | 14:34 |
| Kevin_ | Hey :) | 14:34 |
| dougl | bluej, I don't think x config would do that other than corrupt fonts... what video card do you have? | 14:34 |
| Kevin_ | Sorry, It's my first time using an IRC client | 14:35 |
| Kevin_ | Can people hear me? | 14:35 |

| dennda | !welcome | Kevin_ | 14:35 |
| ubottu | Kevin_: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. | 14:35 |
| pozic | Kevin_: people always say no now. | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: awesome, tab completion saves you a tonne of effort | 14:35 |
| Milk_Rulz | Are there are good online games that work on linux? | 14:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ask | 14:35 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 14:35 |
| clarks | rraphink, how you do your ip? | 14:35 |
| bluej | dougl: intel i845, with intel driver package | 14:35 |
| * dougl is just getting bluej to talk = maybe someone more knowlegable will chime in... | 14:35 | |
| drash | bluej: did /var/log/Xorg.0.log throw up any relevant warnings (lines starting with (WW) or errors (EE) ? | 14:35 |
| Milk_Rulz | ActionParsnip: yeah I'll use it again for use, very useful. | 14:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Milk_Rulz, Yes | 14:36 |
| Milk_Rulz | sure* | 14:36 |
| Milk_Rulz | Jack_Sparrow: what are a couple of titles? | 14:36 |
| Pirate_Hunter | how can i check the uiid for my hd as /dev/sdb1? | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: its gonna destroy any typing skill you previously have | 14:36 |
| * bluej goes and checks Xorg.0.log | 14:36 | |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: i try to do it in emails, gets funny | 14:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Milk_Rulz, We avoid polls in here, but WOP World of padman, Enemy Territory to name two. | 14:36 |

| tritium | hwilde: did you get it figured out? Did you make sure the modules you need to load (found via sensors-detect) were loaded? | 14:36 |
| unop | Pirate_Hunter, sudo blkid /dev/sdb1 | 14:37 |
| hwilde | ActionParsnip, I hit tab all the time | 14:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop ty | 14:37 |
| hwilde | tritium, yes once I modprobed them I see all kinds of stuff now | 14:37 |
| tritium | hwilde: just because sensors-detect can add them to your /etc/modules doesn't mean it loads them automatically for you | 14:37 |
| tritium | hwilde: good | 14:37 |
| hwilde | tritium, yes I suggested that upstream :) | 14:37 |
| Milk_Rulz | ActionParsnip: Don't worry, my typing skills wont go away. I've been playing runescape for 2 and a half years and I'm perfectly fine :P | 14:37 |
| tritium | hwilde: ok | 14:37 |
| rjune_ | anybody suggest a decent rss reader for gnome? | 14:37 |
| Milk_Rulz | Jack_Sparrow: Yes I've heard of Enemy Territory, is it a FPS? | 14:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !polls | 14:38 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:38 |
| hwilde | fps is a function of hardware anyways | 14:38 |
| hwilde | !ot | 14:38 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 14:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Milk_Rulz, yes both are fps and please see the link on games or try one of the chat channels | 14:38 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Milk_Rulz, you are offtopic, this is support | 14:39 |
| the6step | how do I go about install the python package trml2pdf? | 14:39 |
| drash | rjune: liferea is short for linux feed reader, a simple websearch will throw up several other apps offcourse | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: grab the demo of Penumbra Overture | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: great scary game | 14:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bluej: lol recently had to work with the application (your nick) | 14:40 |
| tomcat_ha | So i downloaded the official ati linux driver | 14:40 |
| dougl | drash, did you see bluej's pastebin of the log... at first glance I did not see any errors and only a couple of warnings | 14:40 |
| tomcat_ha | now it says i need to navigate to its location | 14:40 |
| tomcat_ha | how do i do that? | 14:40 |
| Milk_Rulz | Jack_Sparrow: sorry about that | 14:40 |
| tomcat_ha | in the terminal that is | 14:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ty | 14:40 |
| tritium | tomcat_ha: did you try the ubuntu-packaged drivers first? | 14:40 |
| Milk_Rulz | ActionParsnip: are you currently in any other channels? | 14:40 |
| tomcat_ha | yes | 14:41 |
| rjune_ | Jack_Sparrow, how about *a* rss reader for gnome | 14:41 |
| drash | doug1 bluej: missed that, i'll take a look | 14:41 |
| rjune_ | one doesn't come installed by default | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | !minimal > Temppu | 14:41 |
| ubottu | Temppu, please see my private message | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Milk_Rulz: only #kubuntu as well | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rjune_, No idea | 14:41 |
| tritium | rjune_: you mean *an* RSS reader for gnome | 14:41 |
| bluej | drash: cheers | 14:41 |
| tomcat_ha | I downloaded the driver to my desktop | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tomcat_ha, to browse to your desktop you would type ~/Desktop | 14:43 |
| dougl | bluej, I dunno much about linux but being a seasoned user for years, when a problem does not get solved it is usually because poor communication so I was just keeping you talking and hoping we'd both learn something when someone more knowlegable like drash helps out :) | 14:44 |
| tomcat_ha | it says no such file or directory then jack_sparrow | 14:44 |

| harlemdavvey | kernel: it's telling me that the command is not found... why? | 14:51 |
| the6step | importing it doesn't work | 14:51 |
| filip | for me it works through a ralink wifi,and doesn't through attansic wired ethernet :/ | 14:51 |
| tomcat_ha | So now i navigated to my desktop i just need to type sh ./ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run in my terminal? | 14:51 |

| thekro | the6step: you probably want to install the package python-trml2pdf | 14:52 |
| the6step | thekro: I tried to do that but it didn't work properly I don't think | 14:53 |
| thekro | so still run: sudo aptitude install <packagename> | 14:53 |
| tomcat_ha | i just typed that in | 14:53 |
| the6step | thekro: I did that and I guess it installed but 1. I dont' know where it installed and 2. it didn't auto put it on the python path | 14:53 |
| tomcat_ha | and now it says i must run the install as superuse | 14:53 |
| tomcat_ha | r | 14:53 |

| hwilde | !language | 14:53 |

| harlemdavvey | what should i do to edit the kernel to put it in quiet mode during the bootup? what voice do i have to modifiy? | 14:53 |
| the6step | so I don't know what to do at this point | 14:54 |
| thekro | why do you think it didn't work? (i just installed it, and it gave me no errors) | 14:54 |
| the6step | thekro: if it installs correctly, you should be able to type python, and then import <modulename> | 14:54 |
| the6step | and it give no errors | 14:54 |
| thekro | try just typing trml2pdf<enter> on the command line | 14:55 |
| thekro | what does it say? | 14:55 |
| the6step | thekro: 1 sec | 14:55 |
| the6step | thekro: command not found | 14:55 |
| tomcat_ha | Oh that is what sudo means | 14:55 |
| thekro | no typoes? | 14:55 |
| thekro | can you paste the output of your sudo aptitude? (http://paste.ubuntu.com) | 14:56 |
| vigo | tomcat_ha: Yes, Super Do, sudo is admin | 14:56 |
| oCean_ | the6step: "sudo updatedb && locate trml2pdf" | 14:56 |
| kernel | Super excute. | 14:57 |
| the6step | thekro: http://paste.ubuntu.com/108252/ | 14:57 |
| thekro | hmm - that's a bigger problem | 14:57 |
| thekro | looks like you need an update or something | 14:57 |
| thekro | someone who understands aptitude? | 14:58 |
| kernel | the6step , maybe python-trml2pdf? | 14:58 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | is there a default web server that is installed when you setup ubuntu desktop version? because i somehow cannot start apache2 service, and it says that the port 80 has been used. | 14:58 |
| cumulus007 | hey, I want to execute something after a system resume | 14:58 |
| the6step | kernel: that is what I installed... sudo aptitude install python-trml2pdf | 14:58 |
| cumulus007 | new_to_ubuntu-: there isn't any | 14:58 |
| kernel | the6step, sudo apt-get install python-trml2pdf | 14:58 |
| cumulus007 | new_to_ubuntu-: when you install apache2, it starts automatically | 14:58 |
| thekro | 6step: did you recently upgrade? | 14:58 |
| cumulus007 | new_to_ubuntu-: so probaly, it is already started | 14:59 |
| the6step | kernel: could not find package python-trml2pdf | 14:59 |
| kernel | the6step, Hmm.. serach to synaptic | 14:59 |
| the6step | thekro: I'm on gutsy gibbon | 14:59 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | oh i see, how to stop/restart the service(apache2) then? the http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/stopping.html explain differently | 15:00 |
| sockets | is it just me or does kubuntu run slower than ubuntu? (on P4, 3.00GHz) | 15:00 |
| the6step | kernel: what do you recommend my next action be? you said search synaptic? | 15:00 |
| lillobyte91_ | scuse me, canal irc ubuntu ita? | 15:00 |
| quibbler | !it | 15:01 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 15:01 |
| kernel | the6step, Yeah | 15:01 |
| lillobyte91_ | thanks | 15:01 |
| thekro | perhaps the package wasn't available in gibbon | 15:01 |
| the6step | kernel: what is the best way to go about that? | 15:01 |
| the6step | thekro: yeah that is a theory | 15:01 |
| vigo | new-to-ubuntu: I start and stop auto runs with ,,wait. let me look again | 15:01 |
| dayo | sockets: no it's not just u | 15:01 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | since i didn't install from compiling the apache2 source, i get it from synaptic, so i guess it is installed differently too | 15:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !lamp | 15:02 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 15:02 |
| cumulus007 | new_to_ubuntu-: so: | 15:02 |
| dayo | new-to-ubuntu: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop | 15:02 |
| kernel | the6step, in the gnome-terminal sudo synaptic and.. gnome panel mneu use | 15:02 |
| sockets | ah, gnome it is then :] | 15:02 |
| dayo | new-to-ubuntu: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start | 15:02 |
| dayo | new-to-ubuntu: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 15:02 |
| cumulus007 | /etc/init.d/apache2 start/stop/restart | 15:02 |
| cumulus007 | with sudo, of course | 15:02 |
| dayo | sockets: try xubuntu (xfce4) | 15:02 |
| kernel | dayo // and sudo service apache2 start/stop/restart | 15:02 |
| cumulus007 | hey, I want to execute something after a system resume | 15:02 |
| dayo | kernel: cool. i had no idea | 15:02 |
| jrib | cumulus007: like what? | 15:03 |
| sockets | dayo, are all the applications cross-compatible?.. kde apps on xubuntu ect? | 15:03 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | is it, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 -k start/restart/stop ? | 15:03 |
| cumulus007 | jrib: I want to execute modprobe to unload a module | 15:03 |
| dayo | sockets: not really. depends on which apps u mean. xubuntu is optimized for speed and lightness. kubuntu.... needs a serious diet | 15:04 |
| cumulus007 | new_to_ubuntu-: -k isn't necessary | 15:04 |
| sockets | alright thanks :] | 15:04 |
| cumulus007 | dayo: it doesn't need a diet | 15:04 |
| cumulus007 | my KDE installation is freaking fast | 15:05 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | without -k, it doesn't work, it replies with apache2 syntax | 15:05 |
| sockets | cumulus007, it depends on the system i guess, mines is a P4 - gnome is noticable faster.. and dayo confirmed that | 15:05 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | with -k, it doesn't work either, it replies with: apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} | 15:05 |
| the6step | kernel: so I tried that and I couldn't find it...... basically what I'm doing is on this page: http://www.satchmoproject.com/docs/svn/new_installation.html and if you look, they show 1 way of installing python-trml2pdf but I don't think that works reliably either.... maybe I could manually install it? | 15:05 |
| jrib | cumulus007: you can use /etc/pm/*. Read /usr/share/doc/pm-utils/HOWTO.hooks . Example I use: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1221592.html | 15:06 |
| dayo | cumulus007: kde's hypereyecandy scorches my retinae, routinely! :P | 15:06 |
| nick|here | how can i recover my /etc/passwd file? | 15:06 |
| kernel | the6step, yes. | 15:06 |
| jrib | nick|here: from backups would be optimal. What happened to it? | 15:07 |
| cumulus007 | dayo: eyecandy can be disabled by alt+shift+f12 | 15:07 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | cumulus007: is apache2 conf files kept on /etc/apache2 ? | 15:07 |
| cumulus007 | new_to_ubuntu-: yes | 15:07 |
| cumulus007 | jrib: thanks, will try that | 15:07 |
| nick|here | jrib: i was copying it, but accidentally misplaced the locations. and copied a blank file on it | 15:07 |
| dayo | cumulus007: then why go for kde at all? | 15:08 |
| nick|here | jrib: i have it as a backup, but i can't alter it, because it says me sudo: uid 1000 does not exist in the passwd file! | 15:08 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | ok, i find on apache2.conf: | 15:08 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | # These need to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars | 15:09 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | User ${APACHE_RUN_USER} | 15:09 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | Group ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP} | 15:09 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | what should i put there? | 15:09 |
| FloodBot1 | new_to_ubuntu-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:09 |
| jrib | nick|here: I have a file called /etc/passwd-. Do you have that? I have no idea what it is, ubt you should find out | 15:09 |
| cumulus007 | dayo: because it has a lot more functionality than gnome has | 15:09 |
| jrib | nick|here: reboot and choose recovery mode from the grub menu | 15:09 |
| yell0w | hey guys is there a way to access a passworded hdd as an external drive ? | 15:09 |
| vigo | new-to-ubuntu: I cannot find the page yet, is basically enable <program> or disable <progream> | 15:09 |
| dayo | cumulus007: well, so far i've not had a very pleasant experience with kde. it's far too bloated for my liking. and i left gnome because i found xubuntu to be much faster, lighter and cleaner-looking | 15:10 |
| Dvyjones | Is it possible to somehow install apt, and setup the sources list, and then "move" to ubuntu without having to burn a disc? | 15:10 |

| Kartagis | i am using 8.10 but webmin sees my system as 8.04. why? | 15:18 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !webmin | 15:19 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 15:19 |

| cumulus007 | new_to_ubuntu-: what does the -k option? | 15:21 |
| oCean_ | nick|here: you could also try booting straight into shell, but I'm not totally sure whether that works with empty passwd. It should i guess | 15:21 |
| kernel | new_to_ubuntu-, no -k option, Try to sudo service apache2 start | 15:22 |
| chanux | kernel, you there? | 15:22 |
| kernel | chanux, yeah, by the way.. I don't know that problem.. I'm sorry.. | 15:22 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | cumulus007: i don't know what -k for, but without the -k, the apache2 replies and asking me to do the correct syntax i should put -k in front of the start option | 15:22 |
| cumulus007 | new_to_ubuntu-: I think you have done something wrong | 15:22 |
| cumulus007 | new_to_ubuntu-: have you edited the config file or something? | 15:23 |

| cumulus007 | of course | 15:25 |
| cumulus007 | Gedit | 15:25 |
| kernel | and vi | 15:25 |
| cumulus007 | Gedit is GNOME's editor, vi is command line | 15:25 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | cool, gedit is what i needed | 15:26 |
| kernel | new_to_ubuntu-, if you like GUI then use the gedit | 15:26 |
| new_to_ubuntu- | i was using nano, it is hard to use it, like 'edit' on DOS | 15:26 |

| kernel | new_to_ubuntu-, /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 15:29 |
| oCean_ | matveev: I *think*, but not totally sure, that modifications also can be changes on file attributes (ownership, permissions). Changes must be actual writes to file | 15:29 |

| oCean_ | matveev: It's actually the opposite (I tried. changing file attributes are "changes" editing file contents is "modification") | 15:32 |

| SlimeyPete | well, the software's called bitlbee. Use apt-get/synaptic to install it, then point irssi at localhost. | 15:51 |
| AWizzArd | Jeruvy: when I would have a real RAID controller in my compi, would I then even notice it during installation? Wouldn't the controller claim there is only one typical (non-raid) sata hd available? | 15:51 |

| epicgoo | pidgin doesn't work? | 15:51 |
| SlimeyPete | tony__: strange. I've never had to tell it a server. | 15:51 |
| tritium | epicgoo: yes, it does | 15:51 |
| Jeruvy | g-e: if you close firefox does the problem disappear, or do you only notice it when browsing? Try going to speedtest.net and doing a test. | 15:51 |
| SlimeyPete | I just did an "account add" for msn and it worked | 15:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | AWizzArd, correct | 15:51 |

| linenoise | Howdy chan. I got a new camera and I took a bunch of pictures and they're way too big. Is there an easy way to make them all smaller at once? I can use gimp to individually save them with less quality, but that will take forever. | 16:14 |
| h0ra | linenoise: try the command convert from imagemagick | 16:15 |

| Gnea | microslop: if you added the resolutions, you'll need to restart x | 16:30 |
| facepalm_ | Hey everyone, I am not sure this is an Ubuntu problem but my cd drive all the sudden doesn't get recognized by my computer (doesn't even show up in BIOS) | 16:30 |
| ScottG489 | I followed the following guide and before I rebooted I typed "free" in the terminal and it seemed to work but now after I rebooted it doesn't seem to have worked: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 16:31 |
| tritium | facepalm_: the fact that it doesn't show up in the BIOS indicates that it's *not* an ubuntu problem. | 16:31 |
| N6REJ | suddenly apache is really not functioning as it should and is now not generating an index when there is no index.php file. | 16:31 |
| Gnea | facepalm_: that'd be a hardware problem. can you open it? | 16:31 |
| N6REJ | instead it wants to open "x-trash" | 16:31 |
| joaospinto | it still is breaked | 16:31 |
| joaospinto | maybe not as much, but still annoying in this scene | 16:31 |
| Bert_2 | Hi, I'm trying to copy over /home/bert to /media/backup (so I copy from /home the "bert" dir), it calculates, I tell it to ignore files that can't be copied (like .dbus), it starts copying and then stops on 162,3MB of 31,9GB with still 118.306 files to go, is this a bug ? | 16:31 |
| vigo | d_rwin: maybe the removal of that one spooked it, I am not certain, that is just a guess. | 16:32 |
| Gnea | joaospinto: mkv tends to require some pretty hefty resources - how much memory? | 16:32 |
| facepalm_ | gnea: yeah, it opens up fine. I have 2 different CD drives and they both open and close fine but don't get recognized by BIOS. I have BIOS set to automatically find them, and I checked the cables and it all appears to be fine | 16:32 |

| microslop | Check my xorg.conf and tell why X dont appear this :x | 16:33 |

| bourneMash | prolescum: i unmounted the drive, now i get this error during install: Device /dev/sdc has a logical sector size of 4096. Not all parts of GNU Parted support this at the moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. | 17:00 |
| iamarockstar | hi ppl is anyone here using his mobile as a remote in ubuntu via bluetooth? | 17:00 |
| bourneMash | prolescum: using ubuntu live CD | 17:01 |

| Prolescum | Bournemash, the OS on the computer you're using. | 17:02 |
| bluej | just checked his logs and it looks like intel aswell | 17:02 |
| === KemAWag is now known as oobe | ||
| jelly12gen | microslop: that resolution is quiet unusual, do you have drivers installed, for nvidia try nvidia -xconfig | 17:02 |

| Jado | hi, i need some help : if i choose the 640x480 resolution (xrandr --size 640x480 or nvidia-settings), the desktop does not appear entirely on my screen and i can't see the bottom part of it. With other resolutoins, such as 800x600 or 1280x800, i can see all the desktop and not only a part ; i've tried xrandr --size 640x480 --rate 60 but my laptop screen does not support this refresh rate. | 17:03 |
| jelly12gen | mircoslop: ok if that works video drivers works | 17:03 |
| jelly12gen | mircoslop try reconfiguring your xorg just !search xorg | 17:03 |
| iamarockstar | pls help me someone | 17:03 |
| iamarockstar | ?? | 17:03 |
| corinth | !patience | 17:03 |
| Gnea | microslop: have you tried 915resolution? | 17:03 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 17:03 |
| Prolescum | bournemash: what format is the drive you want to use? is it already in use? | 17:03 |
| microslop | HM? | 17:03 |
| jelly12gen | iamarockstar: googled it? | 17:04 |
| microslop | 915resolution? | 17:04 |
| Gnea | sudo apt-get install 915resolution | 17:04 |
| iamarockstar | yeah got something abt blueman but it doesnt work with 8.1 | 17:04 |
| iamarockstar | and also seemed complex | 17:04 |
| bourneMash | prolescum: its an ipod on which i created a linux partition using cfdisk | 17:04 |
| bluej | shouldn't need 915res if using the intel driver | 17:04 |
| iamarockstar | is there no elegant soln thaat someone might be using | 17:04 |
| Gnea | bluej: it's not going above 800x600, it can't hurt. | 17:05 |
| microslop | Ubuntu's Xorg using hal to autoconfigure settings? | 17:05 |
| Prolescum | Anyone know why ushare doesn't work with intrepid? | 17:05 |
| Gnea | iamarockstar: if I'm reading you correct, you want to use your cellphone as a remote control for totem? | 17:05 |
| mdmkolbe | How do I figure out what wireless card I have? | 17:05 |

| iamarockstar | Gnea: yup exactly | 17:05 |
| hikeractive | Does anyone know if alpine can handle mailto links in a browser? | 17:05 |
| Gnea | iamarockstar: does it have an infrared on it? | 17:06 |
| Prolescum | bournemash, I've never used an ipod, what format? ext2/3? What does it say with gparted? | 17:06 |
| iamarockstar | yes but i want to use it via bluetooth | 17:06 |
| bluej | microslop: yes, see: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging | 17:06 |
| Gnea | iamarockstar: that would require a lot more work than the IR would | 17:07 |
| iamarockstar | well ok tell me abt ir then | 17:07 |
| Gnea | microslop: if that doesn't work, try switching to the i810 driver | 17:07 |
| bourneMash | prolescum: gparted only sees a 9gb unallocated (capacity is 80gb), cfdisk sees a 9gb W95 FAT32 part and ~65GB of unallocated space | 17:07 |
| bourneMash | i created a linux type partition in that 65gb of unallocated using cfdisk | 17:08 |
| microslop | Gnea: what about 915resolution? | 17:08 |
| microslop | Gnea: i will try | 17:08 |
| bluej | jelly12gen: any other ideas? | 17:08 |

| jim_p | hi people | 17:25 |
| modnar | Morning~. Need some help installing an nvidia driver on 8.10. downloaded and installed drivers from the repo, but apparently there's a command change to enable the driver (used to be sudo nvidia-glx-config enable, and google isn't much help) | 17:25 |
| [j-2] | _Vi_: sry | 17:25 |
| jim_p | how can i make this work?? Bus 005 Device 003: ID 046d:0896 Logitech, Inc. OrbiCam | 17:25 |
| _Vi_ | j-2 do you see your drive listed on that drop down box on the top right of gparted? | 17:26 |
| _Vi_ | click on that | 17:26 |
| squid0 | hi. I have the bluetooth applet running, and under preferences I've set my computer to visible, but my cellphone can't find it. | 17:26 |
| jim_p | modnar, what gpu are you on and how do you try to install the driver? | 17:26 |
| [j-2] | _Vi_: nope, not anymore.. | 17:26 |
| [j-2] | _Vi_: i've formated the drive about 6-8times now.. | 17:26 |
| _Vi_ | does it show up if you type 'cfdisk' in a terminal? (no quote marks) | 17:26 |
| jim_p | squid0, are you on a laptop that has a shared button for wireless and bluetooth? | 17:26 |
| [j-2] | _Vi_: i've triwed cfdisk/fdisk.. nothing | 17:27 |
| _Vi_ | O.o | 17:27 |
| squid0 | jim_p: yes, and they're enabled | 17:27 |
| modnar | 8600m gt, installed with apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia settings from the third party intrepid repos | 17:27 |
| jim_p | squid0, do you also use the wireless now? | 17:27 |
| squid0 | jim_p: yes | 17:27 |
| _Vi_ | j-2 is it a USB drive? | 17:27 |
| pandaking | I will go re-install everything then, thanks for the help. | 17:28 |
| mgolisch | [j-2]: do the following: unplug the drive, wait some seconds, plug it back in, and then put the output of the dmesg command onto a nopaste service | 17:28 |
| [j-2] | _Vi_: yes | 17:28 |
| jim_p | squid0, its network manager messing things up. stop it and try using bluetooth again. if it does work, remove network manager and have some other app to manage the wireless | 17:28 |
| pyro2927 | mgolisch: you have to pay for VMware dont you? | 17:28 |
| [j-2] | mgolisch: i've done that about 10times ;) | 17:28 |
| pyro2927 | mgolisch: rephrase, you are supposed to pay for VMware, right? | 17:28 |
| jim_p | pyro2927, not for the server and the player edition | 17:28 |
| _Vi_ | j-2 OMG mgolisch just beat me to it | 17:29 |
| _Vi_ | mgolisch: :P | 17:29 |
| [j-2] | can i paste directly to the chan ? | 17:29 |
| squid0 | jim_p: ok, thanks. any suggestions for an alternative to networkManager? especially something that will manage wifi connections well? | 17:29 |
| pyro2927 | jim_p: if i have the player, can i just torrent a VM? will it allow me to setup the user account? | 17:29 |
| _Vi_ | no | 17:29 |
| _Vi_ | dont paste here | 17:29 |
| [j-2] | msg? | 17:29 |

| * _Vi_ seen that !who command comming... sorry Pici | 17:30 | |
| mgolisch | pyro2927: no, they offer free virtualisation products too, there is vmware player which allows starting virtual machine, but you would need to prepare the vmconfig file yourself, and create a disk image manualy, but there are guides on the net for that | 17:30 |
| modnar | jim_p: 8600m gt, installed with apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia settings from the third party intrepid repos | 17:30 |
| jim_p | squid0, network-config if you are looking for something full featured, and gnome-network-admin if you know how to set wpa with some other app. i use gnome-network-admin | 17:30 |

| modnar | jim_P: yes, after an x restart it's still selected but not enabled in restricted drivers | 17:34 |
| mgolisch | [j-2]: try the following: unplug it and execute the folling command: sudo modprobe -r ehci-hcd then plug it back in | 17:34 |

| unused_bagels | tritium: This is why I';m thinking its' an OS firewall problem | 18:10 |
| unused_bagels | sorry, my punctuation marks are trying to kill me here | 18:10 |
| tritium | unused_bagels: have you setup any iptables rules? If not, the OS firewall isn't blocking anything. | 18:10 |
| lasivian | is there any way to "hide" a windows title bar without full-screening it? | 18:10 |
| Dmole | what is the command for making a private ssh key from a public key? | 18:11 |
| aarkerio | IkimashoZ forget about the link , Jack_Sparrow tell me the new Xorg is different in Intrepid Ibex | 18:11 |
| paul68 | hi I try to work with devilspie and want to get my terminal completly embedded however I still have the window arround it does anyone have a solution for this | 18:11 |
| lasivian | I have a very small netbook screen and the title bar takes up valuable real estate :) | 18:11 |
| NoRaid | Some one can tall me how to find my RAID controller ? | 18:11 |
| broSand | Dmole: You can't make a private key from a public. You create them in sets, private and public. | 18:11 |
| aarkerio | The problem is I am in on old Debian right now | 18:11 |
| unused_bagels | tritium are you sure? because I've done port forwarding numerous times before I came to linux, and now that I switched, it doesn't work. this makes me think that it's an OS isse. | 18:11 |
| mgolisch | unused_bagels: does sudo iptables --list, actualy list any rules? | 18:11 |
| johan12 | any more tips for running xubuntu faster? | 18:11 |
| mgolisch | unused_bagels: and does sudo ufw status say its loaded? | 18:12 |
| tritium | unused_bagels: yes, I'm positive | 18:12 |
| Dmole | paul68: try a different window manager ? | 18:12 |
| NoRaid | Some one can tall me how to find my RAID controller ? | 18:12 |
| avis | NoRaid, you'd probably want to look at lspci and lshw to see what controller it is | 18:12 |
| aarkerio | johan12, compile your kernel, buy more RAM ;-) | 18:12 |
| paul68 | Dmole: please explain? | 18:12 |
| tritium | unused_bagels: it's not an OS issue. I'm using port-forwarding right now, and have for some time. There is no firewall configuration required. | 18:12 |
| NoRaid | avis, hmmm i dont see any text in it with RIAD | 18:12 |
| johan12 | thought 1gb was enough | 18:12 |
| Dmole | broSand: so a public key is useless ? | 18:12 |
| IkimashoZ | aarkerio: kk, so I should change xorg.conf back to the way it was?? | 18:12 |
| IkimashoZ | with vesa? | 18:12 |
| unused_bagels | tritium, then what do you think my problem is? I'm going nuts over here. | 18:12 |
| broSand | unused_bagels: What ports? I could be that you're using an app that runs on different ports in linux. | 18:12 |
| NoRaid | 00:11.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8237A PCI to ISA Bridge | 18:12 |
| NoRaid | 00:11.7 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8251 Ultra VLINK Controller | 18:12 |

| aarkerio | yes, but vesa is just a generic driver | 18:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | aarkerio, Here is xorg from my ibes.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/108323/ | 18:13 |

| aarkerio | Jack_Sparrow, thx! | 18:13 |
| avis | NoRaid, don't flood the channel. you need to pastebin that stuff | 18:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 18:13 |
| NoRaid | ah sorry | 18:13 |
| Exci | I was wondering if anyone could help me access my router. It's a home router that I originally set up for someone else - who stopped using it. But I never learned to access it myself and would like to learn how to access it and set up some e-mail accounts etc. | 18:13 |
| paul68 | Dmole: I have compiz running | 18:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IkimashoZ, Sure for the moment | 18:13 |
| unused_bagels | broSand: I manually changed my ports in the program. | 18:13 |
| NoRaid | avis, but is one of those it ? | 18:13 |
| tritium | unused_bagels: what port are you forwarding? | 18:13 |
| mgolisch | 36000 | 18:14 |
| aarkerio | IkimashoZ, try setting: Driver"intel" | 18:14 |
| mgolisch | no idea if thats some common bt port | 18:14 |
| Pici | Exci: Router issues are not on topic for this channel. Try ##networking or #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:14 |
| broSand | Exci: try going here: http://192.168.1.1 | 18:14 |
| avis | it doesn't look like it. make sure its enabled in your bios settings. if you still dont see it, google your available chipsets | 18:14 |
| Exci | sorry , it's a server | 18:14 |
| aarkerio | IkimashoZ, and then: $sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 18:14 |
| unused_bagels | tritium, 36000 tco and udp | 18:14 |
| unused_bagels | *tcp | 18:14 |
| lucax | Exci, try openin a web browser and typing 10.0.0.1 or 2 or 192.168.0.1 or 1.1 or 1.2 and type user and pass and you should do it | 18:15 |
| Dmole | paul68: you might find a theme or be able to make one that dose not show the window | 18:15 |
| tritium | unused_bagels: are you forwarding it to the proper IP address? How are you testing it on the linux side? | 18:15 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | ahh i just deleted a 2.5gig iso, anyway to recover it? | 18:15 |
| Exci | thank you lucax | 18:15 |
| broSand | unused_bagels: Is your linux machine using the same IP address that the old machine was using? | 18:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | M3TAPHYS1CS, What did you use to delete it | 18:15 |
| aarkerio | (I can't help imagine ikimahoZ running from room to room ;-) ) | 18:15 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | just trash | 18:15 |
| _Vi_ | !recover | M3TAPHYS1CS | 18:15 |
| ubottu | M3TAPHYS1CS: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 18:15 |
| broSand | wow, this is a pretty happening channel. ;-> | 18:15 |
| unused_bagels | broSand: tritium yes, and yes. I run ifconfig, I have a static IP of 192.168.1.100 and I checked, that's the old one i used in windows. | 18:16 |
| _Vi_ | broSand: i think its the largest on freenode | 18:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | M3TAPHYS1CS, did you also delete it from trash after the original delete from os | 18:16 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | yeah | 18:16 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | is it worth trying to recover? | 18:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | M3TAPHYS1CS, nope | 18:16 |
| paul68 | Dmole: But I just want to do this for the terminal only not system wide | 18:16 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | heh okay thanks.. | 18:16 |
| Exci | lucax does that work for a server aswell? It's on my network I just can't access it - domain is http://absalom.dyndns.org/ | 18:16 |

| lucax | Exci, it should i think | 18:17 |
| Dmole | paul68: right it would need to be a setting like maximize hide window | 18:17 |
| aarkerio | dd is so dangerous | 18:17 |
| _Vi_ | aarkerio: i lost about a years worth of data :( | 18:17 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | _vi_: i feel better already.. | 18:17 |

| mgolisch | unused_bagels: probably not | 18:18 |

| aarkerio | _Vi_, if your are a programmer use Git or Subversion | 18:18 |
| avis | zopiac, sudo chown user:user /media/flash | 18:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zopiac, what format on that drive | 18:18 |

| zopiac | Jack_Sparrow: not sure | 18:18 |
| strombom | zopiac: is it an sd card, maybe you have moved the write protect switch? | 18:18 |
| _Vi_ | aarkerio: ive tried using SVN and all those other versioning systems, they go right over my head | 18:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zopiac, ssudo fdisk -l last letter is L | 18:18 |
| mgolisch | unused_bagels: tried to use another port? it must eother be a local firewall, a firewall in your router or a firewall at your isp blocking it | 18:18 |
| Exci | lucax, I want to be able to host my own things on it, since the guy that uses it no-longer does | 18:18 |
| unused_bagels | tmgolyes, yes. I've tried using several. | 18:19 |

| Javache | i just started gparted and it shows my disk completely unallocated, but it's not... | 18:20 |

| _Vi_ | johan12: very | 18:20 |
| Exci | lucax is there a program I can use to upload to that site, I can probably figure the rest out. | 18:20 |
| Exci | meh! | 18:20 |
| unused_bagels | tritium: I'm using atorrent prog (several) to test out the ports, plus cayouseeme, and some guy on here used something to access the port via IP address, it's blocked, and not by my router or my modem. | 18:20 |
| johan12 | more then xfce? | 18:20 |
| akahige1 | starting last night, I'm getting an error when I run the Intrepid Update Manager that says "public key not available" ... has something gone wrong with my system or is this a widespread error? | 18:20 |
| _Vi_ | johan12: i'd try fluxbox though | 18:20 |
| strombom | zopiac: ok, check the switch | 18:20 |
| _Vi_ | johan12: na xfce is porkish as of late | 18:20 |
| Exci | this is why girls should not set up ubuntu servers, when they've only ever known windows. | 18:20 |

| IkimashoZ | back to vesa? | 18:21 |
| tritium | unused_bagels: try something simple to start. Install openssh-server on your linux box, forward port 22 to it, and then ssh to it from another machine on the other side of the router. | 18:21 |
| unused_bagels | tritium: wow man, way over my head | 18:22 |

| MrGuest | i've got an interesting issue. my new laser mouse broke and tryed to draw too much power, but kernel disabled usb hub to save my notebook. that was cool. i thinked that i burned my usb | 18:35 |
| unop | tyler_d, but you could use something like this. find src/ -depth -print | cpio -pamVd dest/ | 18:35 |
| tyler_d | unop: suggestions | 18:35 |
| Gibbs | Hi all. I have an annoying problem that I want to permenantly fix... When I start Ubuntu I get a blank black screen (before logging in). It happens 80% of the time and I can't use CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, CTRL-SHIFT F7 etc. Any ideas? | 18:36 |
| aarkerio | Gibbs, look the problem in /var/log/syslog and paste | 18:37 |
| ZxPwn | Anyone know why when fresh 8.10 install doesnt find my ipw2200 centrino wireless card? | 18:37 |
| unop | isilion, so you are trying to ssh to 192.168.0.1 from the internet? is that right? | 18:37 |
| fearlessdawg | tyler_d: why not just use mkdir -p dir1/dir2/etc | cp file dir1/dir2/etc/file | 18:38 |
| avis | someone was asking about speed tweaks earlier. this tweak seems to make my broadband a little zippier. http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2008/08/01/slow-broadband-in-ubuntu-hardy-speed-up-your-internet-connection its a /etc/sysctl.conf tweak for broadband | 18:38 |
| Gibbs | aarkerio: Thanks, will do (rebooting into recovery mode) :) | 18:38 |
| unop | fearlessdawg, he might be copying 2,000 files in 700 directories? | 18:38 |
| fearlessdawg | true just a suggestion | 18:38 |
| isilion | unop im trying to do "ssh -p (assigned port) user@ip.nu.mb.er" and i got connection closed by remote host. im trying to access this pc from this pc but throught internet. do you understand? | 18:39 |
| unop | isilion, errm, not really | 18:39 |
| ZxPwn | anybody? | 18:39 |
| unop | fearlessdawg, in any case. your command wouldn't work .. you can't pipe to cp | 18:40 |
| isilion | unop "ssh -p (assigned port) izilion" does work. but if i substitute server name for his ip, it does not. | 18:40 |
| broSand | ZxPwn: It may have found the card but not know what to do with it. | 18:40 |
| gareth__ | hey there, | 18:41 |
| aarkerio | ZxPwn, the little light card is on? | 18:41 |
| broSand | ZxPwn: On a command line you can try 'sudo dmesg' and see if you see the Centrino in the output. | 18:41 |
| tyler_d | fearlessdawg: bashing this to just cp | 18:41 |
| tyler_d | fearlessdawg: and curiousity ;) | 18:42 |
| gareth__ | need some help is possible with ubuntu connecting to my wifi, it see my neighbours wifi but not my home wifi? | 18:42 |
| ZxPwn | ah nvm, i fixed it myself. | 18:42 |
| ZxPwn | haha, stupid mistake, have fun ! | 18:42 |

| mewmew | if i try to use wireless it will work | 18:43 |
| aarkerio | Jack_Sparrow, works with "intel" option | 18:44 |
| broSand | gareth__: you can't see your wireless but you see your neighbors? Are you sure your's is up? | 18:44 |
| aarkerio | what "feats" means? | 18:44 |

| broSand | gareth__: I mean that's odd. Your scan shows the wireless networks in range but your's is not one of them. | 18:44 |
| ezerhoden | mewmew: just try the liveCD and see if it works | 18:44 |

| mustard | gparted has a caution symbol beside the vista partition and keys beside my ubuntu partitions. i guess i'll try a live cd and see if that helps | 18:57 |

| Brack101 | ok so I've followed 3 or so active directory samba guides, all the tests you can imagine work fine (wbinfo -u, wbinfo -g, getent passwd, net ads info, you name it). However when I add the entry valid users = "MIDCO+domain users" where MIDCO is the name of my domain (btw this group shows up in wbinfo -g), the share asks for a password and no domain user works. Help? | 19:39 |
| Guest19819 | in a different way | 19:39 |

| Rencx | bazhang: one more, how can i crate ISO and install it or write CD from ISO | 19:46 |
| Guest19819 | things like that are blocked, I have full access to my laptop etc, but firewall blocks remote assistance and that stuff. (uni laptop) | 19:46 |
| Lasivian | has anyone here managed to handle large windows that you cannot see the bottom of on a narrow screen? | 19:46 |
| bazhang | Rencx, you want to create a custom iso? | 19:46 |
| bazhang | Lasivian, alt left click | 19:47 |
| amanu | Guest19819: ok lemme know can we try or not | 19:47 |
| Guest19819 | I've found something on the internet, let me try it and I'll come back on after to tell u if it works or not | 19:47 |
| amanu | Guest19819:ok | 19:47 |
| Lasivian | bazhang: that still won't let me move it off the top of the screen | 19:47 |
| temppy | franki^: first, you need to edit /etc/hosts to add an entry with your new hostname (you should see your old hostname. Leave it, but make a copy, and edit with the new name. So, you should have to entries) Now, you can edit /etc/hostname to the new name (and you can now delete the old entry in /etc/hosts) | 19:47 |
| Lasivian | bazhang: ahh, nevermind | 19:48 |
| bazhang | Lasivian, you need to grab and move, there should be a small hand visisble | 19:48 |
| Lasivian | I was clicking on the taskbar | 19:48 |
| Lasivian | bazhang: if you do it anywhere but the taskbar you can move it off the top, thanks | 19:48 |
| MindVirus | Who here knew that Ctrl+Alt++ means zoom in on the desktop? | 19:48 |

| Gnea | Okay, this has gone too far now... in Intrepid, I still cannot burn DVD's. CD's burn just fine, but DVD's just will not burn, at all, whatsoever. Is there a fix for this yet? | 19:49 |
| Lasivian | if I want to upgrade the boot drive in my system, how should I copy the entire drive (grub and all) to the new disk? | 19:49 |
| bazhang | Gnea, what app | 19:50 |
| Gnea | bazhang: k3b | 19:50 |
| tritium | Gnea: please give more details, as it already works. | 19:50 |
| petafile | I installed intrepid to dual boot w/ vista, and I just noticed today that there's not a grub option for vista. Is there a tool to detect this for me, or do I have to edit menu.lst myself? | 19:50 |
| bazhang | Gnea, data dvd or other | 19:50 |
| bazhang | !grub | petafile | 19:50 |
| ubottu | petafile: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 19:50 |
| bazhang | petafile, first link | 19:50 |
| Heliodor | savvas: seem like the input does not work at all | 19:50 |
| Heliodor | savvas: not front, not back | 19:51 |
| Heliodor | savvas: i had a usb headset but the mic broke, so i got an analog headset. atleast the usb headset worked until it broke.. | 19:51 |
| andril | hello all | 19:51 |
| Gnea | bazhang, tritium: this is what happens when I plug the device into the USB port with a blank disk in it.. the same errors occur whether it's inserted or not: http://pastebin.com/d1481552a | 19:51 |
| bazhang | Lasivian, move home to another partition or dd the install to a new drive? | 19:52 |
| Lasivian | bazhang: move, I want to clone the boot drive entirely | 19:52 |
| bazhang | !clone | 19:52 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 19:52 |

| dinesh372 | i used latex but got stucked in it means i am not able to come out of it ctrl+c does not work how to come out of it without closing the terminal | 19:54 |
| Lasivian | bazhang: rsync will copy all the files, right? I was thinking that and making the new disk bootable would be all i'd need | 19:54 |
| Rencx | bazhang is there linux program who can do all together so write iso read iso install iso and burn iso? | 19:54 |
| petafile | bazhang: none of those seem to answer my question. I CAN boot to ubuntu, but not vista. I mount my ntfs partition in ubuntu, so I know the partition is OK | 19:55 |
| bazhang | Rencx, in that order? | 19:55 |
| Lasivian | Rencx: go ask Nero to write a version for Linux ;) | 19:55 |
| petafile | Also, I use fakeraid which wasn't addressed in those g uides | 19:55 |
| Rencx | bazhang yah thet will be nice :) | 19:55 |

| dinesh372 | i used latex but got stucked in it means i am not able to come out of it ctrl+c does not work how to come out of it without closing the terminal | 19:55 |
| dinesh372 | please answer my question | 19:55 |
| Gnea | bazhang, tritium: I have tried booting with all_generic_ide=1 to no avail | 19:55 |

| Pirate_Hunter | !ask dinesh372 | 19:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask dinesh372 | 19:55 |
| Lasivian | dinesh372: patience, you're getting what you pay for here :) | 19:56 |
| Heliodor | savvas: Now its working!! :) | 19:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | petafile, why cant you boot to vista i just came on | 19:56 |
| bazhang | Rencx, what sort of iso? a linux distro (ie ubuntu)? | 19:56 |

| amanu | what is altex | 19:56 |
| amanu | latex | 19:56 |
| Heliodor | savvas: i had "headset" checked in, probably was the problem there | 19:57 |
| tritium | amanu: professional typesetting software | 19:57 |
| petafile | Pirate_Hunter, it's not listed in grub | 19:57 |
| amanu | tritium: to learn typing? | 19:57 |
| tritium | amanu: most universities use it for typesetting dissertations, and many published books are typeset with it. | 19:57 |
| soundconjure1 | :) | 19:57 |
| soundconjure1 | Damnit... why is my screen name soundconjure1 | 19:57 |
| tritium | amanu: no, no. Not a typing tutor. Typesetting. | 19:57 |
| soundconjure1 | It should be soundconjurer | 19:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | petafile, ok cant you recreate grub again there are plenty of tuts online on how to do it otherwise your looking into editing grub yourself | 19:57 |
| amanu | tritium: typeset means? | 19:58 |

| Rencx | bazhang is it hard to write cd? | 20:00 |
| tritium | Gnea: is the DVD media good? | 20:00 |
| dinesh372 | enzotib: thanks | 20:00 |
| bazhang | Gnea, does this occur with non k3b apps | 20:00 |
| bazhang | Gnea, ie the built in gnome cd/dvd creator | 20:00 |
| savvas | Heliodor: try with the test sip: sip:500@ekiga.net | 20:00 |
| bazhang | Rencx, no quite easy | 20:00 |
| Heliodor | savvas: ekiga works, but the sound is terribly low | 20:00 |
| Heliodor | ive seen many having the same problem, | 20:01 |
| Gnea | tritium: yeah it's Sony | 20:01 |
| bazhang | Rencx, with iso, right click open with cd/dvd creator in Gnome | 20:01 |
| Gnea | bazhang: I'll give it a shot.. | 20:01 |
| savvas | Heliodor: I have Mic Boost in my volume control | 20:01 |
| Heliodor | savvas: ists only my incoming sound that stutters oddly, outgoing sounds just fine with twinkle | 20:01 |
| Heliodor | savvas: i have mic boost to | 20:01 |
| bazhang | Gnea, may also have to fiddle the settings in k3b iirc | 20:01 |

| savvas | Heliodor: close ekiga, skype or any application that uses input/output sound | 20:02 |
| bazhang | joeyjones, does it reach the desktop or hit busybox | 20:02 |
| Heliodor | savvas: already tried that | 20:02 |
| FireFox | when I press ctrl+Q nothing happens | 20:02 |
| dinesh372 | enzotib : i think there are very few peoples online so i should try tommorrow | 20:02 |
| enzotib | dinesh372, i don't understand your question | 20:02 |
| joeyjones | bazhang: nope | 20:02 |
| joeyjones | it sjut ahngs at the cd's first screen | 20:03 |
| joeyjones | *just | 20:03 |

| joeyjones | bazhang: it only gets to the first screen with the options to run, install, check cd, check ram, or boot from hdd. | 20:04 |
| Heliodor | savvas: test what out? | 20:04 |
| dinesh372 | enzotib: left that question | 20:04 |

| joeyjones | using an 8.10 cd burnt a few hours ago | 20:05 |
| bazhang | joeyjones, did you try any boot parameters such as removing quiet and splash from the kernel you are booting; you may also want to try the alternate cd if the problem persists | 20:06 |
| bazhang | !alternate | joeyjones | 20:06 |
| ubottu | joeyjones: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

The kernel proceeds to also forget that it's there and re-scans the device, finding the DVD-R again, finding the disk, keeping it at 'Empty DVD-R Medium.', only to NOT have it show up when clicking on an ISO before, during, and after the md5sum is generated.

| IkimashoZ | Hi. I had a problem earlier with a computer that was not loading the gui on startup. I got the problem working eventually by changing a line /etc/X11/xorg.conf form driver "vesa" to "intel". I'm working on a second computer now, same setup as the last one, except changing the line in the file didn't work this time. I also can't seem to get back into the terminal with ctrl+alt+F#. Help? | 20:58 |

| gordonjcp | can anyone suggest an easy way to switch between using Nvidia binary, and the nv driver? | 21:08 |
| mooperd | jrib: I dont think there is an ubuntu bug logged | 21:09 |
| mooperd | http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=14171 | 21:09 |
| gordonjcp | basically the problem I'm having is that I can't use Nvidia binary drivers with a -rt kernel | 21:09 |
| mcpancakes | jrib: yes, I think that may have been it. the dialog box said it couldn't be started, and said maybe there were problems with other appearance managers, like Bobobo (something like that), or if I have KDE, or anything else. This is a very new installation so I know that no sort of software like that is on here. | 21:09 |
| ormecuro | maco: ok,i see ... | 21:09 |
| jrib | mcpancakes: if it affects the packaged version in the repositories, you should file one and explain that the fix exists in svn | 21:09 |
| mooperd | jrib: there does not seem to be an ubuntu package for asterisk-gui | 21:10 |
| ian__ | my wifi pcmcia card doesn't seem to have power, light doesn't come on, and its no shown by lspci, where should I start to diagnose? | 21:10 |

| RocketLauncher | This LCD can do 1280x960 but I get an "Input signal out of range" errror and i'm forced to use 1024x768 at 60hz :(. Why is this. Also I changed my screen resolution to 1024x768 and I get a little pink box on the top left of this screen saying "unknown". | 21:10 |
| RocketLauncher | NEVERMIND IT'S GONE NOW | 21:10 |
| mcpancakes | jrib: Sorry, I didn't quite get all of that. If it happens again, file a bug report, take a screenshot, and what about the SVN? | 21:10 |
| gordonjcp | although, using unaccelerated graphics isn't really that helpful because then half my CPU is taken up drawing the screen | 21:10 |

| mooperd | jrib: well, Im not sure if the problem will be fixed by doing this :) | 21:11 |
| jrib | dreamy: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you | 21:11 |

| jrib | gordonjcp: if you're not using it for the right reasons, yes. In any case, I don't know of an easy way to do what you ask. You can create multiple profiles in xorg.conf and then choose the one you want to start, but that's not really automatic. You could create some script that tests the running kernel and then start X with the appropriate xorg.conf I suppose too | 21:15 |

| panete-2009 | hi, i have ubuntu 64bits and i have and sony vaio vgn-nr32m with atheros AR242x network card. My wireless doesnt work :( . and to do it work i read in the foruns that one way was to disable my Restricted Drivers, install a Nwisdrapper and do some commands. Alright, i have tryied that way and it didnt work. Now i want do reanable my Resticted Drivers. But now i cant and i dont kn ow why! Can anyone help me? | 21:26 |
| drash | Pirate_Hunter: LAMP is just that, Linux Apache Mysql PHP :) | 21:26 |

| lucax | does anyone know a compiz repo? | 21:27 |
| jrib | gordonjcp: -180 is in the repositories. You might try that. Otherwise, check bugs.ubuntu.com. ubuntustudio apparently uses the -rt kernel by default so there are lots of hits on google about your issue if you include ubuntustudio in the search. If all that fails, then try the workaround for -177 that I linked you to | 21:27 |
| drash | Pirate_Hunter: you can go the manual road sure, boils down to the same thing, just be ready to enter mysql root password and remember the debian way ubuntu uses with apache | 21:27 |
| gordonjcp | jrib: okay - the most recent one I pulled down is 180 | 21:28 |

| Heliodor1 | kon: itś like falling in love all over again | 22:03 |
| oCean_ | iJoh: for write access you may want to use ntfs-3g as type | 22:03 |
| cellofellow | how do I use find to list files newer that 24 hours? | 22:03 |
| oCean_ | !ntfs-3g | iJoh | 22:03 |
| ubottu | iJoh: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 22:03 |
| kon | again? | 22:03 |
| kon | :P | 22:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iJoh, Here is mine for reference http://paste.ubuntu.com/108390/ | 22:03 |
| Heliodor1 | kon: Never been in love? | 22:03 |
| kon | ok i wont steer off topic again. sorry. | 22:03 |
| ziggles1 | hatter243: works!! i can ping google... | 22:03 |
| Heliodor1 | Heh :-D | 22:03 |
| Heliodor1 | yeah, sorry | 22:03 |
| drash | hikeractive: .local/share/applications/defaults.list might have what you're looking for | 22:03 |
| kon | Ofcourse, im married ;) | 22:03 |
| kon | k, brb | 22:03 |
| kon | Oh no, i just received an error on the install :( | 22:04 |
| hatter243 | ziggles1, okay, I can understand desiring static IP addresses, but what were you doing with that bridged stuff? Is that required? | 22:04 |
| drash | hikeractive: in your home folder that is, forgot to add that | 22:04 |
| iJoh | jack_sparrow... that's a lot of partitions o.O | 22:04 |
| ziggles1 | hatter243: i accidently rebooted my router though.... i wonder if the prob was on the router side... u think it's worth it to set all those bridges back and try again? | 22:04 |
| lorenzosu | I have a dual-boot system with ubuntu 8.10 and vista. Now vista started to show the ubuntu partitions asunformatted drives, offering to format them if I click on them.. Can I prevent this? | 22:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iJoh, A bit of everything in there | 22:04 |
| ziggles1 | hatter243: the bridged stuff is because i have VMs running on this server... and i have eth0 dedicated to the www VM and the other nic is for all the others | 22:04 |
| kon | The error says: "the ext3 file system creation in partition #1 os scsi3 (0,0,0) (sda) failed." | 22:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lorenzosu, yes.. ext2fs driver for windows | 22:04 |
| ziggles1 | eth1 = other nic | 22:04 |
| kon | Any idea what that means? | 22:04 |
| hatter243 | ziggles1, well... if that's what your end goal is then you might as well try turning it all back on... Ah! | 22:05 |
| hikeractive | thanks drash | 22:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ext2fs | 22:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2fs | 22:05 |
| lorenzosu | Jack_Sparrow: I tried that and set drive letters but no luck :( | 22:05 |
| _Vi_ | !info ext2fs | 22:05 |
| ubottu | Package ext2fs does not exist in intrepid | 22:05 |
| _Vi_ | O.o | 22:05 |
| iJoh | "/dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs user 0 0" I think now... how can I see if that will work? | 22:05 |
| velle | Hi. How do I mount my ntfs partition in a way, so that I can edit files on it, without using sudo? | 22:05 |
| ziggles1 | hatter243: it is my end goal, but this is great that i can ping by putting everything back to normal.... i was certian that i tried that earlier this morning and it iddnt work. | 22:05 |
| cellofellow | velle: you have to use sudo | 22:06 |
| hatter243 | ziggles1, if you turn all that back on and it works, great! If not, I'm afraid you're going to have to look into it more yourself, that bridged stuff is outside my knowledge. | 22:06 |
| lorenzosu | I would be fine with Vista just "not seeing" those partiotions (as in XP) | 22:06 |
| oCean_ | iJoh: you might consider using ntfs-3g as option.. | 22:06 |
| ziggles1 | hatter243: will do, again thank you so much for the help and taking time ot make a pastie etc. | 22:06 |
| cellofellow | velle: sudo mount /dev/sdLN -t ntfs-3g /mount/point | 22:06 |
| ziggles1 | really appreciate it | 22:06 |
| hatter243 | ziggles1, hey no worries, good luck! | 22:06 |
| iJoh | what's 3g? | 22:07 |
| keul | wah | 22:07 |
| evaryont | I'm having issues with FPS's, my mouse keeps leaving the window. I tried getting the window to grab the mouse, so it doesn't leave, but that hasn't worked. I saw an application but can't find it again that can restrict the movement of the mouse, does anyone know it? | 22:07 |
| keul | XD | 22:07 |
| oCean_ | !ntfs-3g | 22:07 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 22:07 |
| iJoh | I see | 22:07 |
| velle | cellofellow: Maybe I need to use sudo to do the mounting, but then I want to be able to edit files on the partition, without using sudo | 22:07 |
| keul | want to report a bug : haven't list of users in a panel in X-Chat gnome | 22:07 |
| keul | i click on subimit bug | 22:07 |
| cellofellow | velle: ah, yes | 22:07 |
| cellofellow | velle: just a sec | 22:07 |
| keul | and it just sends data without asking me nothing | 22:07 |
| spawn | hey all i updated my computers motherboard bios and now linux works but windows wont start (it was the oppsite before) i get a blue screen then a restart like i added to much hardware to windows what could have possible happened when i updated my bios? | 22:07 |
| velle | like when I plug in an external hd, also formatted in ntfs, my user can edit files on it | 22:08 |
| velle | without sudo | 22:08 |
| cellofellow | velle: you want it to automatically mount when you start the computer or is this just a one-time thing? | 22:08 |
| velle | it is a one time thing | 22:09 |
| cellofellow | velle: checked my fstab, and looks like you want uid=007 and gid=46 (plugdev I think). | 22:10 |
| cellofellow | velle: that's umask=007 | 22:11 |
| kon | anyone know what this error means? | 22:12 |

| velle | cellofellow: Thanks, that works. So what does it mean, I say that the mounted partition belongs to group 46, and gives that group the rights 100? | 22:18 |
| n8tuser | luke_ -> you have to describe what you two have done to troubleshoot | 22:19 |

| DVA5912 | !ncurses | 22:21 |

| DVA5912 | worth a shot | 22:21 |

| Vantrax|Work | Decepticon, you have: Mem:971M and you are using used:316M | 22:21 |
| Gerinych | donnie: try refreshing your desktop | 22:21 |
| Decepticon | Vantrax|Work what are all the other useless numbers then | 22:21 |
| donnie | Gerinych, F5? nothing.. right mouse click.. nothing | 22:21 |
| Vantrax|Work | Decepticon, ram used as swap file, cached ram, and buffers | 22:21 |
| Decepticon | Vantrax|Work then what is bugger and cache and swp and used | 22:22 |
| luke_ | n8tuser, how do I figure out what card he has | 22:22 |
| Decepticon | so how much total ram did i use out of 971 | 22:22 |
| Decepticon | *buffer | 22:22 |
| hatter243 | DVA5912, libncurses5 I believe | 22:22 |
| donnie | Gerinych, I should be able to right mouse click on the desktop and "create a folder" but I get no submenu | 22:22 |
| n8tuser | luke_ -> sudo lshw -C network | 22:22 |
| aurax | anyone? is there a way to force users to mount nfs (like netlogon with cifs/smb)? | 22:22 |
| DeepThoughts | I just upgraded my nvidia drivers to the 180-series from the repos and when activating compiz I get a so much shadowing/artefacts that it's even funny. Anyone else experienced this? | 22:22 |
| DVA5912 | hatter243: OK trying | 22:22 |
| aquarius | My intrepid machine has started rendering Helvetica and Lucida fonts, which it was not doing before. These fonts look unpleasantly bitty and not anti-aliased. I think this started happening when I installed an (unrelated) ttf package. Is there any way I can fix it? | 22:22 |
| Gerinych | donnie: hmm... | 22:22 |
| Vantrax|Work | Decepticon, Your using a total of 521mb of your 1gb including swap space (which is only uses ram if the ram isnt needed) | 22:23 |
| donnie | DeepThoughts, did you uninstall all other nvidia references in synaptic before installing the 180.xx driver? | 22:23 |
| Decepticon | Vantrax|Work how to calculate this on my own? | 22:23 |
| Decepticon | Vantrax|Work, what is inside the 521mb? its the 316mb it said earlier plus what? | 22:23 |
| DVA5912 | hatter243: apperently it is already installed... wierd because the tutorial i have specifies this echo "^[[0;31;40mIn Color" as a working code | 22:23 |
| Vantrax|Work | Deception, The last number is your total useage | 22:23 |
| WDC | Hey I have two NTFS partitions I don't care about anymore, what program can I use to make them ext3? | 22:23 |
| piko_water | quit | 22:24 |
| Vantrax|Work | Decepticon, used:521576k | 22:24 |
| n8tuser | WDC cfdisk, sfdisk, fdisk | 22:24 |
| Decepticon | Vantrax|Work isnt that talking about swap | 22:24 |
| WDC | n8tuser: Anything with a GUI? I've had bad experience with CLI and partitions | 22:24 |
| vdepizzol | Hello. How do I know what video driver my X is using? | 22:24 |
| drash | WDC: gtkpod does you're correct, gpodder is for podcasts | 22:24 |
| cylix | so can anyone tell me why the package repositories are running so slow? | 22:24 |
| n8tuser | WDI behind a gui are command line, so get used to it | 22:24 |
| WDC | drash: Thanks | 22:25 |
| Decepticon | Vantrax|Work or is that talking about ram_used+swap_used or what is this number i dont understand, i just want to know TOTAL_RAM_USED/TOTAL_RAM_AVAIALABLE | 22:25 |
| swatTX | how do you enable the extra option in visual effects? | 22:25 |
| cylix | at least us and archive are. | 22:25 |
| ezerhoden | vdepizzol: grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:25 |
| n8tuser | WDC behind a gui are command line, so get used to it | 22:25 |
| WDC | n8tuser: I'm asking for something like GParted after the install | 22:25 |
| donnie | Gerinych, even if I go to the Applications menu and choose any program listed, right mouse click, "Add to Desktop" ... it does but it's only visible if I'm in nautilus looking at desktop.. otherwise it's not visible.. | 22:25 |
| Heliodor1 | are there any disk imaging on the ubuntu live boot cd? | 22:25 |
| swatTX | says "the composite extension is not available" | 22:25 |
| n8tuser | WDC -> try gparted then, | 22:25 |
| vdepizzol | ezerhoden: actually xorg.conf doesn't shows any driver information | 22:25 |
| oCean_ | Decepticon: that's the first two lines of /proc/meminfo | 22:25 |
| drash | WDC: http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html has the complete feature set | 22:25 |
| WDC | n8tuser: What do ya know. I'm sorry, I thought it was a LiveCD thing | 22:25 |
| matteo | Hi all, i am trying to connect my laptop (Fujitsu amilo pi 1505 with ubuntu 8.04) to my full hd tv (1080 p)with a vga cable. I have connected with succes a projector but this time the pc detect the screen and the tv gets no signal... Any tips? | 22:26 |
| Gerinych | donnie: it might be possible youre logged in as root or some other user | 22:26 |
| Vantrax|Work | Decepticon, In linux Ram is used as both swap and ram. The total used for both was used:521576k, the total used by applications is 316mb | 22:26 |
| ezerhoden | vdepizzol: then i have no idea, probably vesa or something simple | 22:26 |
| donnie | Gerinych, fresh install.. user name shows up by the clock.. so not a root account.. | 22:26 |
| Decepticon | Vantrax|Work ok i see | 22:26 |
| n8tuser | WDC nope, if the tools are in your install, used it, if not download and install | 22:26 |
| Decepticon | Vantrax|Work so i used 521mb out of 971mb | 22:26 |
| oCean_ | Decepticon: but Linux has a pretty awesome mem management, keeping lots of pages in mem for filesystem cache. So it's intended behaviour that a lot of ram is "in use" (buffered) | 22:26 |
| DeepThoughts | donnie: Not really, apt-get told it would uninstall the glx and kernel package for the 177-driver. Though I just checked and the only non 180-stuff I could find was modaliases | 22:27 |
| ac13 | I am somewhat confused when I start up. First thing is the Firestarter firewall always says it is stopping because something is wrong with eth1, but later on it starts up again. Any way to not have it fail the first time? Or is that typical? | 22:27 |
| hatter243 | donnie, I forget the name, but gnome uses a process to control the physical desktop... it's probably just hung or never started | 22:28 |
| donnie | DeepThoughts, when you installed did you do it from a different tty after shutting down gdm? | 22:28 |
| donnie | hatter243, so maybe a restart? | 22:28 |
| n8tuser | ac13 it happens all the time for you? | 22:28 |
| ac13 | n8tuser: I believe so | 22:28 |
| Decepticon | how to unzip | 22:29 |
| hatter243 | donnie, if you don't have anything running presently, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE will restart X and do the trick... It will close all open programs though | 22:29 |
| Decepticon | how to unzip in cli | 22:29 |
| DeepThoughts | donnie: No that I didn't. I did it from within Gnome and then rebooted. | 22:29 |
| oCean_ | Decepticon: type "unzip" | 22:29 |
| ac13 | n8tuser: it gives me some messages about eth1: ----- not quite sure what it says but it says that Firestarter is stopping... | 22:29 |
| donnie | hatter243, although... it's a great way to keep the visible desktop clear :) | 22:29 |
| hatter243 | donnie, it's true! | 22:29 |
| n8tuser | ac13 -> did you somehow change the sequence of modules running at boot time? you dont want the firewall up until you have ethernet working | 22:29 |
| ezerhoden | ac13: check dmesg | 22:30 |
| donnie | DeepThoughts, that might be your issue.. when installing you are suppose to totally shutdown gdm from a different tty and then install. afterwards start gdm backup again.. you might have to uninstall/reinstall the correct way to fix the issue. | 22:30 |
| ac13 | ezerhoden: I type dmesg into command line and it spews a bunch of stuff. anything to look for? | 22:30 |
| jscinoz | Hi | 22:31 |
| ac13 | n8tuser: I don't know how to change the module sequence... | 22:31 |
| Rooty | Anyone here dual booted Feisty & Hardy or something similar? | 22:31 |
| n8tuser | ac13 -> how many nic cards do you have? is this a new install? | 22:31 |
| ygor | hello guys, does anyone know how to open a pwi file on ubuntu? | 22:31 |
| ziggles1 | Networking question: Are you allowed to have eth0 and eth1 on the same network? | 22:31 |
| ac13 | n8tuser: not a new install. I just have 1 ethernet port (and a wireless card) | 22:31 |
| jscinoz | I'm trying to allow other local users access to my main user's pulseaudio server, if i chmod 666 /tmp/pulse-jack/native it works, but next pulse restart it resets to its default permissions of 600, is there anywhere i can tell pulse what permissions to use for its socket | 22:32 |
| ac13 | n8tuser: I mean firestarter says that it starts up later adn I'm pretty sure that it works, but I am just confused about why it would fail in the beginning | 22:32 |
| n8tuser | ziggles -> no one is going to stop you, but you just have to know how to use them both | 22:32 |
| kitche | ziggles1: yes but it confuses the hell out of the kernel | 22:32 |
| luke_ | How do I get into a folder through terminal? | 22:32 |
| BirdManJonathan | Hello | 22:32 |
| ziggles1 | kitche: how so? | 22:32 |
| DeepThoughts | donnie: It was along time ago since I installed video-drivers so I forgot that you might have to do that. Would apt-get purge suffice? | 22:32 |
| n8tuser | ac13 -> can you turn off firestarter for now and see if it reboots okay? | 22:32 |
| kitche | ziggles1: routing gets confused sometimes unless you tell it specificly | 22:32 |
| kon | is there some one that can help me with this error i keep getting on the install of ubuntu ? | 22:33 |
| luke_ | n8tuser, how do I get into a folder through terminal | 22:33 |
| ac13 | n8tuser: okay, thanks I will try that | 22:33 |
| ac13 | luke_: you mean like with 'cd'? | 22:33 |
| n8tuser | luke_ -> cd | 22:33 |
| ZING | can someone tell me what their sudo gedit /etc/pam.d/common-auth file is? i edit mine and forgot to back up | 22:33 |
| luke_ | so type cd and then folder name? | 22:33 |
| ZING | i want to remove the fingerprint reader | 22:33 |
| yggwork | how can i get dpkg to recognize stuff that ive compiled ? | 22:33 |
| ac13 | luke_: yep. also check out 'man cd' if you want to have more details | 22:34 |
| ZING | or send me their file? | 22:34 |
| ZING | plz | 22:34 |
| DVA5912 | Trying to get ncurses to work wth code::blocks. Anyone sucessful? | 22:34 |
| ac13 | luke_: also 'cd ..' to go up a folder | 22:34 |
| n8tuser | ziggles -> you can manage to have them both on same network, you just have to configure the route table correctly | 22:34 |
| ziggles1 | kitche: ah i see... man! i think this might be the problem im having... basically i have bridged two networks to eth0 and eth1 but they are on the same network | 22:34 |
| luke_ | cd desktop doesnt do anything | 22:34 |
| ygor | hello guys, does anyone know how to open a pwi file on ubuntu? | 22:34 |
| ziggles1 | n8tuser: what should i google to learn how to set that up? | 22:34 |
| ZING | sudo gedit /etc/pam.d/common-auth and msg me what the fine says plz | 22:34 |
| ZING | i'm using 8.10 | 22:35 |
| drash | yggwork: get the checkinstall package and use sudo checkinstall instead of sudo make as your last build step | 22:35 |
| n8tuser | ziggles -> 1st is dont do what you did, bridging on same network, you are creating an infinitte loop | 22:35 |
| oCean_ | jscinoz: maybe add the chmod command to the /etc/init.d/pulseaudio script? | 22:35 |
| guinness | has anyone here done any of the Comptia A+, N+ computer courses? Is there another channel I should look in? | 22:35 |
| luke_ | I typed in cd desktop and it doesn't go to desktop | 22:35 |
| luke_ | So how do I do it? | 22:35 |
| yggwork | ahh thanks drash | 22:35 |
| Dracie_ | luke_, cd ~/Desktop | 22:35 |
| jscinoz | oCean_, but i'm not running pulse system wide, im running it per user. | 22:35 |
| BirdManJonathan | I just moved my computer across the room, and now all my usb drives don't show up. I have tried | 22:35 |
| oCean_ | luke_: remember unix/linux is case sensitive | 22:35 |
| n8tuser | luke_ -> are you sure it is desktop not Desktop? case sensitive | 22:35 |
| ziggles1 | n8tuser: i dont think its an infinite loop... http://pastie.org/368169 | 22:35 |
| jscinoz | actually that might be a better idea to run it system wide, thanks | 22:35 |
| drash | yggwork: you're welcome, it's quite a nice tool | 22:35 |
| n8tuser | ziggles -> you have done a drawing? i asked for it earlier.. | 22:36 |
| ziggles1 | n8tuser: I'm sorry, i have not | 22:36 |
| yggwork | drash will you be around to ask a few questions if i need them ? | 22:36 |
| ziggles1 | n8tuser: ill throw one together real quick | 22:36 |
| n8tuser | ziggles -> then please do | 22:36 |
| drash | yggwork: for another hour or so yes | 22:37 |
| yggwork | drash i think you mean use sudo checkinstall instead of suod make install ? | 22:37 |
| drash | yggwork: correct | 22:37 |

| drash | yggwork: make didn't throw up any errors did it ? if so checkinstall won't work, just as sudo make install would bail out | 22:40 |
| _Vi_ | alcohol: you have to tell the client to open port 587, assuming you're refering to thunderbird? | 22:40 |

| BirdManJonathan | what am i looking for, in this mile long list? | 22:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bashsrc | 22:43 |
| _Vi_ | !firewall | alcohol | 22:43 |
| ubottu | alcohol: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 22:43 |

| RaverWild | hi guys! acer aspire one user here. installed interpid. wifi was not working but i fixed it from a tutorial. then updated ubuntu packages and now wifi does not work again. any ideas on a fix? | 22:43 |
| Su1 | i can only connect to wireless networks without a password. | 22:44 |
| iJoh | where are my in-use system icons stored? | 22:44 |
| iJoh | like, the tango theme | 22:44 |
| sellyoursoul | i can't view videos in fullscreen on some sites such as vimeo (i think they use avi). | 22:44 |
| sparr | I want to be able to move files out of a folder, but not be able to move the folder. Is that possible with linux file permissions? | 22:44 |
| BirdManJonathan | oCean_: what in this am i looking for? | 22:44 |
| drash | RaverWild: i take it the first fix doesn't do it twice ? | 22:44 |
| sparr | iJoh: the actual files? the same place as not-in-use system icons. | 22:44 |
| kurrata | hi, does ubuntu terminal uses .bashrc file for its "hotkeys". I have been changing it little bit but it dosnt seem it affects the terminal... | 22:45 |
| shafi__ | RaverWild: install the wifi driver again | 22:45 |
| ziggles1 | n8tuser: what should this drawing have? i mean the network essentially has 1 router connected to 1 host that has 2 nics | 22:45 |
| iJoh | sparr, where is that? ^^ | 22:45 |
| sparr | probably /usr/share/icons | 22:45 |
| Gerinych | anyone know how to fix sound delay? it happens everywhere, even in pidgin. | 22:45 |
| CaMason | what's an easy way to test if my wine install is working with internet properly? | 22:45 |
| sparr | if you want to know for sure, do a dpkg -L on the tango icons pacakge | 22:46 |
| Su1 | anyone using Opera here? | 22:46 |
| n8tuser | ziggles -> no other switches or hubs in between? | 22:46 |

| sparr | Su1: i have in the past, but not right now | 22:46 |
| elzelien | has anyone an idea how itś possible that under windows you can download modified drivers for Nvidia and when it comes to Ubuntu you only have closed source drivers ? | 22:46 |
| oCean_ | BirdManJonathan: something regarding usb and /dev/sd* devices. I'm not sure why you say the OS is not recognizing the devices. Maybe they're just not mounted yet. Are they usually after reboot? | 22:46 |
| Gerinych | sul: i use it occasionally | 22:46 |
| ziggles1 | n8tuser: nope... its a home lan with basically nothing but a cheap dlink router connected to the net :) | 22:46 |
| _Vi_ | alcohol: hmmm install firestarter and see if theres anything being blocked | 22:46 |
| n8tuser | ziggles -> anyhow, do not have two nics active on same network lest you know what you're doing | 22:46 |
| iJoh | Thank you | 22:47 |
| ziggles1 | n8tuser: how do i learn to do it right? | 22:47 |
| BirdManJonathan | oCean_: no i try reboot and get none, can you walk me though mounting | 22:47 |
| alcohol | _Vi_: wow, nevermind. Forgive me. I seem to have spelled smtp as smpt. I just didn't notice it ): | 22:47 |
| n8tuser | ziggles -> learn networking, use google to search for info | 22:47 |
| Heliodor1 | Hmm... | 22:47 |
| _Vi_ | alcohol: lol ok | 22:47 |
| Heliodor1 | Can i do a dd backup of a drive while it is running? | 22:47 |
| Pooky | Anyone know of a CLI mail client thatcan handle multiple accounts, via IMAP, using SSL for connections? | 22:47 |
| glick | hi, can someone please help me connect my ubuntu machine to my wireless linksys router, the wireless card seems to be working because it detects wireless networks, but i dont know if im entering the settings correctly | 22:47 |
| ziggles1 | ok... | 22:48 |
| Heliodor1 | or do i have to go single user mode? | 22:48 |
| Gnea | Heliodor1: you can, but you might have problems restoring it later on | 22:48 |
| Heliodor1 | Gnea: what problems? | 22:48 |
| n8tuser | !wireless > glick | 22:48 |
| ubottu | glick, please see my private message | 22:48 |
| RaverWild | okay. im curious - how people of subnotebooks (so with small screens) use to navigate large windows? is there something that helps seeing the buttons when a window cant be resized smaller? | 22:48 |
| Gnea | Heliodor1: some things might not sync up right | 22:48 |
| oCean_ | BirdManJonathan: it never worked before? The auto mount I mean? | 22:48 |
| ziggles1 | Can anyone here tell me specifically what to research so i can have two nics on the same network? | 22:48 |
| Heliodor1 | Gnea: so partimage is insecure? | 22:48 |
| Gnea | Heliodor1: if the partition is mounted | 22:48 |
| Slart | ziggles1: is there much to research? | 22:49 |
| Heliodor1 | Gnea: ah, good to gnow. | 22:49 |
| Heliodor1 | know* | 22:49 |
| Slart | ziggles1: or you want to use some kind of load balancing? | 22:49 |
| glick | it keeps changing the key i enter, into the wireless network settings manager | 22:49 |
| ac13 | Well... so the problem still exists. Maybe I didn't do it right, but I will explain again now that I have watched my comp reboot a couple of times. So when it starts right after it starts basic networking the computer stop firestarter, fails a bit with eth1, then tries to start firestarter, then fails something on eth1 and quits firestarter. Then it boots for a while more and starts firestarter again a bit later but it works this time. Finally when I fin | 22:49 |
| ac13 | ish booting I switched to tty1, and I see that the computer stops ntpd, starts ntpd again, and stops firestarter?!? But if I go to firestarter in System->Administrator it says that it is active. So...? | 22:49 |
| Infal | !sbackup | 22:49 |
| ubottu | 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 | 22:49 |
| BirdManJonathan | oCean_: it work untill i moved the comp across the room, used to work great | 22:49 |
| kurrata | hi, does ubuntu terminal uses .bashrc file for its "alias". I have been changing it little bit but it dosnt seem it affects the terminal... | 22:49 |
| _Vi_ | Heliodor1: bit of a warning DO NOT backup to a drive that already has stuff on it, i made that mistake last night :( | 22:49 |
| ac13 | kurrata: you might have to restart terminal | 22:49 |
| Gnea | Heliodor1: it's just common-sense to backup an unmounted partition - i recommend clonezilla: http://clonezilla.org | 22:49 |
| ac13 | kurrata: or open up a new terminal | 22:50 |
| Heliodor1 | _Vi_ : why is that a problem? | 22:50 |

| glick | why does my key keep changing from the one I put in | 22:50 |
| glick | ? | 22:50 |
| Heliodor1 | Gnea: Any good way to do it from the ubuntu live boot? | 22:50 |
| oCean_ | BirdManJonathan: If it always worked before, there should be entries for the drive(s) in /etc/fstab file. | 22:50 |
| Heliodor1 | _Vi_Ah. you should have saved it to an image | 22:50 |
| _Vi_ | Heliodor1: i know that now :( | 22:50 |
| Deany | I use clonezilla to do full disk (dual boot) all the time, never let me down | 22:51 |
| oCean_ | BirdManJonathan: you are sure that the drives are not there? Type "df" and see which drives you have (currently mounted, that is) | 22:51 |
| linxeh | oCean_: or just type "mount" | 22:51 |
| Melik | anyone here use banshee? | 22:51 |
| Deany | clonezilla live boots quicker than ubuntu live, obviously.. 1 more reason.. | 22:51 |
| oCean_ | linxeh: sure, or that :) | 22:51 |
| kurrata | ac13: lol, thx it worked i wonder why i didnt think of it ;xD | 22:51 |
| Gnea | Heliodor1: yeah, check out the URLs that ubottu threw at ya - lots of ways | 22:51 |
| Heliodor1 | Deany: Is it a live cd? | 22:51 |

| Heliodor1 | Gnea: fat32 is dead to me, wont touch it :) | 22:52 |
| Deany | Heliodor1, i always do | 22:52 |
| Pooky | drash: last I used mutt, you had to have seperate setups for each account, and ssl was kind of a pain | 22:52 |
| Heliodor1 | Deany: Super :) | 22:52 |
| Pooky | drash: but since that's the only suggestion thus far, I can always try again | 22:52 |
| drash | yggwork: you proceed as usual with both configure and make steps, and finish with sudo checkinstall .. | 22:52 |
| stanBR | I just finished the beta version of my game :-) Its an old school space shooting game. I need someone to test it cu\ I created a .deb package. Can anyone teste it for me? I need to test it on a "virgin" system to see if any lib is missing. | 22:52 |
| Gnea | Heliodor1: good deal :) | 22:53 |

| perlsyntax | nope | 23:13 |

| perlsyntax | my dad has windows | 23:13 |
| Slart | omen: yes.. did you have some kind of question about that? | 23:13 |
| Heliodor1 | drash: ext3? | 23:13 |
| perlsyntax | what you mean by the router? | 23:13 |
| Gerinych | jimi_hendrix: system>preferences>compizconfig settings manager | 23:13 |
| Slart | Woet: most people prefer the one from adobe | 23:14 |
| nick_[nex] | yeah, ext3 doesnt need degragging - it automatically defrags as you use the filesystem | 23:14 |
| jimi_hendrix | Gerinych, dont have it...(i am on hardy) | 23:14 |
| perlsyntax | i can get online with my adsl | 23:14 |
| Heliodor1 | nick_[nex]: What? Amazing!! | 23:14 |
| Slart | Heliodor1: you don't really need defragging.. just leave about 10% of the space free and it will be fine | 23:14 |

| BirdManJonathan | perlsyntax: how is the network shared | 23:15 |
| hatter243 | !defrag | Heliodor1 | 23:15 |
| ubottu | Heliodor1: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 23:15 |
| Slart | Heliodor1: I think so.. or at least online defragging | 23:15 |
| sellyoursoul | i installed flash player 10 but firefox is still using 9 | 23:15 |
| Deany | Heliodor1, it doesnt defrag, it just stores files more intelligent than ntfs | 23:15 |
| gordonjcp | I'm having a really weird problem with Ubuntu Intrepid, and I *think* my graphics card but I can't be sure - the following error shows up about once every few seconds in dmesg, or any time I switch console windows: http://pastebin.com/m6c4adf9d | 23:15 |
| perlsyntax | linksys router or maybe the sim card is in wroung. | 23:15 |
| Heliodor1 | Deany: Clever :) | 23:15 |
| Heliodor1 | I guess NTFS is getting old. | 23:15 |
| Slart | nick_[nex]: I don't think it defrags automatically.. it just uses a different block allocation strategy or whatever to call it... it can still get fragmented if you treat it bad enough | 23:15 |

| nick_[nex] | yeah i know how to do that... I just am trying to make my graphics work - and maybe the xrandr command is the one I need? I think it needs to be run in the graphics terminal tt7 though? | 23:34 |
| corey__ | Nomexous, I'll see what I can gather from the debug option. | 23:34 |
| Nomexous | corey__: Ah here. Add -f -o sshfs_debug | 23:35 |

| Gerinych | slart: i had pulseaudio but I heard that it was kind of causing those problems, so i removed it and never restarted | 23:35 |
| corey__ | Nomexous, I have my mount procedure in fstab, I'll try it in there | 23:35 |
| Nomexous | corey__: No, you should do it in a terminal so you can see the output | 23:36 |
| jclbrt_ | perlsyntax, you there? | 23:36 |
| corey__ | Nomexous, will it default to rw privs/users/uid=1000, etc..? | 23:36 |
| Nomexous | corey__: I'm not sure. | 23:36 |
| corey__ | then it's not very reliable to do it via cli | 23:36 |
| corey__ | we'll see.. | 23:37 |
| Nomexous | corey__: But you can't view debug info if it's mounted from fstab. | 23:37 |

| corey__ | Nomexous, yes sshfs was very reliable when I had a wired setup, unfortunately I don't have that kind of setup and I am not in control of the wireless configuration aside from my location. | 23:45 |
| Nomexous | corey__: I see. | 23:46 |
| Nomexous | corey__: Sorry I can't help more. | 23:46 |
| corey__ | Nomexous, I do notice my wireless signal is not as high as I'd like it to be, perhaps that is causing the issues. | 23:46 |
| Nomexous | corey__: Oh I just remembered. | 23:46 |
| jrib | TML: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/upstart/+question/7377 | 23:46 |
| TML | jrib: /etc/event.d was all I needed, thanks. Strikes me as odd how difficult it is to find *where* those jobs are stored. :) | 23:46 |
| Nomexous | corey__: At what bitrate are you connected with the AP? | 23:46 |
| corey__ | Nomexous, then again, there should be checks to ensure data is secured.. | 23:46 |
| rebel_cli | is there a simple command to upload a text file to a pastebin service by the terminal? | 23:47 |
| Nomexous | corey__: I used to stream MythTV over wireless, and I had to add something to my an interface config file | 23:47 |
| jrib | TML: I'm pretty sure I've seen the description of how the TTYs work on that wiki, but I have to admit I couldn't find it just now either :) | 23:47 |
| Nomexous | corey__: Let me dig it out | 23:47 |
| corey__ | Nomexous, horribly slow at ~1MB/s | 23:47 |
| corey__ | Nomexous, though my real-world download speeds are ~280KB/s | 23:48 |
| corey__ | Nomexous, thanks | 23:48 |
| Nomexous | corey__: Type 'iwconfig' in the terminal | 23:48 |
| Nomexous | corey__: Under your wireless interface, there should be something that says 'Rate'. | 23:49 |
| Nomexous | corey__: See what that says | 23:49 |
| corey__ | Nomexous, yeah.. bitrate is 1 Mb/s | 23:50 |
| Nomexous | corey__: I had to put a line in my /etc/network/interfaces file | 23:50 |
| corey__ | Nomexous, the link quality is between 70 and 90. signal level is -60 dBm | 23:50 |
| Nomexous | corey__: pre-up iwconfig wlan0 rate 24M | 23:50 |
| Nomexous | corey__: The actual number might be different for you | 23:51 |
| Nomexous | corey__: Let me see how to figure that out | 23:51 |
| corey__ | Nomexous, I see | 23:51 |
| ldlework | Does ubuntu have a temporary folder that I can store files in but I know it will be cleared regularly? | 23:51 |
| Gerinych | how can i repair grub files? | 23:51 |
| corey__ | Gerinych, use your preferred text editor | 23:51 |
| Gerinych | corey__: on what? | 23:52 |
| SlimeyPete | ldlework: /tmp/ is cleared on each reboot | 23:52 |
| Nomexous | corey__: It's 'iwlist scan' | 23:52 |
| corey__ | Gerinych, depending on your settings try looking in /boot/grub | 23:52 |
| ldlework | SlimeyPete, hey thanks for the answer. | 23:52 |
| TML | jrib: Well, for what I wanted, it was actually even easier than that. I just went into /etc/event.d and did: for i in `seq 7 24`; do cat tty5 | sed -e 's@tty5@tty$i@g' > tty$i; done | 23:52 |
| Nomexous | corey__: Find you access point, and there should be a list of rates the AP supports | 23:52 |
| Gerinych | corey__: no, my menu.lst's fine, if that's what you mean | 23:52 |
| TheBase | hello | 23:53 |
| Nomexous | corey__: Pick one in the middle and put that in your /etc/network/interfaces | 23:53 |
| corey__ | Gerinych, well you're not very descriptive when you mean 'grub files' | 23:53 |
| corey__ | Nomexous, that's a great idea, thanks I'll try it | 23:53 |
| TheBase | I'm playing a .mov file with totem movie player but the image is really bad | 23:53 |
| DCCuser | what is ubuntu's off topic chan? | 23:53 |
| Nomexous | corey__: It'll require a restart of the interface, though | 23:53 |
| jrib | TML: nice. Out of curiousity, why would one need so many? | 23:53 |
| ortsvorsteher | !ot | DCCuser | 23:53 |
| maco | DCCuser: #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:53 |
| ubottu | DCCuser: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 23:53 |
| TheBase | I get some thick horizontal line. Does anyone knows if there is a better way to play them? | 23:54 |
| Gerinych | corey__: stage1, stage2, stuff like that | 23:54 |
| DCCuser | :D | 23:54 |
| ortsvorsteher | ;) | 23:54 |
| sam555 | hello all! | 23:54 |
| corey__ | Gerinych, you can use dd to write it to your boot sector | 23:54 |
| sam555 | which version should I get of gparted? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gpart | 23:54 |
| GlossyBRDF | hello chan | 23:54 |
| TML | jrib: I don't run X on this box | 23:55 |
| GlossyBRDF | for remote accessing a ded server, whats the best way to upload files | 23:55 |
| alesan | hey, how do I force eth0 settings now to be touched by any automatic mechanism | 23:55 |
| GlossyBRDF | current access point is a ssh putty console | 23:56 |
| TML | jrib: The video card is ridiculously underpowered | 23:56 |
| alesan | for example if I set an ip with ifocnfig from the command line, if I detach the cable the setting will be lost | 23:56 |
| alesan | ifconfig | 23:56 |
| jrib | TML: don't like screen? | 23:56 |
| alesan | this is VERY annoying | 23:56 |
| ortsvorsteher | !enter | alesan | 23:56 |
| ubottu | alesan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 23:56 |
| Gerinych | sam555: that depends on what edition you're running | 23:56 |
| Schuenemann | hey, is there a program I could use to interact to a Sony Ericsson phone? | 23:56 |
| ortsvorsteher | !bluetooth | Schuenemann | 23:57 |
| ubottu | Schuenemann: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 23:57 |
| hatter243 | alesan, enter your desired ip settings into /etc/network/interfaces | 23:57 |
| alesan | ortsvorsteher, one was the question, the following line was an example. I did not really broke the enter convention here. | 23:57 |
| sam555 | Gerinych: ok, well I downloaded a package from here http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/gnome/gparted | 23:57 |
| sam555 | assuming I have the i386 | 23:57 |
| TML | jrib: I like screen, but I already use it on the remote end, and it's hard to keep them all coordinated. | 23:57 |
| ortsvorsteher | alesan: for me it was not easy to follow you ;) | 23:57 |
| alesan | hatter243, this is only a temporary setting, I whish only to deactivate any automatic behaviour. | 23:57 |
| Schuenemann | ortsvorsteher, I need USB cable. Is it possible? | 23:57 |
| alesan | ortsvorsteher, I will enforce a "longer line" on this channel, because of the high traffic, you are right. | 23:58 |
| TML | jrib: If I were handier with .screenrc, I'm sure I could make screen have the desired behaviour. | 23:58 |
| hatter243 | alesan, temporarily change /etc/network/interfaces to have the static ip settings you desire. When you don't want them anymore, change them back to their original state | 23:58 |
| ortsvorsteher | Schuenemann: i never connected a mobile device over usb. but, why not to try. may after connect it automounts youre mobile | 23:58 |
| ortsvorsteher | alesan: thanks :) | 23:58 |
| sam555 | thanks much | 23:59 |
| alesan | hatter243, ok that's annoying but I will do that... by the way, can you give me an example for the syntax used in that file or better, a documentation link or similar? | 23:59 |
| ortsvorsteher | Schuenemann: did you searched the web for your question? | 23:59 |
| Schuenemann | ortsvorsteher, let me clarify. I connected and it works. I can add/remove pictures and music. The problem is for applications. I don't see a "app folder" which I can simply copy stuff into it. | 23:59 |
| GlossyBRDF | hi, I dont want to install an ftp server, considering any other fast uploading methods in existance to place files on a remote server | 23:59 |
| Schuenemann | yes, I did search... | 23:59 |
