| skinofstars1 | ikehn7: i'm guessing you are using intrepid | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Pici | ikehn7: how so? | 00:00 |
| idigital | How many gb i should put on ubuntu paration? | 00:00 |
| e3co | RadSurfer2: you can use one of the iptables gui's but I imagine there is a .conf somewhere. | 00:01 |
| idigital | Vi how many gb u use for your ubuntu? | 00:01 |
| === osxdude_ is now known as osxdude | ||
| RadSurfer2 | if there a howto to do that? | 00:01 |
| ikehn7 | ? | 00:01 |
| stevewd | I am using the .177 drivers that are part of the Ubuntu distribution. I have not compiled my own NVidia drivers. Yes the old Linux kernel is fine. The new kernel that isn't working is 2.6.27.11.13. After upgrading to 2.6.27.11.14 the server will not work. | 00:01 |
| ikehn7 | wat do u mean how so | 00:01 |
| _Vi_ | RadSurfer2: usually that is done through your router's web interface... like http://192.168.0.1 or what not... | 00:01 |
| e3co | RadSurfer2: google | 00:01 |
| ikehn7 | pici: wat do u mean | 00:01 |
| ikehn7 | its just too complicated for me | 00:01 |
| RadSurfer2 | No simple SeLinux interface, eh? | 00:01 |
| skinofstars1 | ikehn7: what confused you about the documentation | 00:01 |
| Solet | skinofstars1: the package is 'hibernate' not 'hibernation' | 00:02 |
| Pici | idigital: All of it, thats all I run on this computer. | 00:02 |
| _Vi_ | idigital: I usually give Ubuntu 5 or 10 gigs | 00:02 |
| skinofstars1 | ikehn7: ok | 00:02 |
| e3co | RadSurfer2: sorry I was misunderstanding you. | 00:02 |
| stevewd | whyameye: sorry, I entered my response above without your handle | 00:02 |
| skinofstars1 | Solet: sorry, no i do not have that | 00:02 |
| Solet | kk | 00:02 |
| karel_ | 177 | 00:02 |
| * Solet keeps searching | 00:02 | |
| ikehn7 | oh my buntu is so complicated | 00:02 |
| skinofstars1 | Solet: you should't need it | 00:02 |
| === osxdude is now known as osxdude|l | ||
| karel_ | How can i get hibernate to work? | 00:02 |
| RadSurfer2 | I want Ubuntu to allow 5190-5199 TCP ports | 00:02 |
| RadSurfer2 | How wold I do this please | 00:03 |
| whyameye | stevewd: I can't say what will work, but I can say what I would try, which is to uninstall and reinstall the graphics driver. It probably needs to build its own module specific for the kernel which happens automagically. I don't know this but it is my guess. Somehow it didn't happen. | 00:03 |
| stevewd | whyameye: one other thing, I am using the "recommended" drivers the hardware drivers program suggests. | 00:03 |
| _Vi_ | ikehn7: there are way more complicated distros than Ubuntu... Ubuntu is the easiest and most supported by far. | 00:03 |
| Pici | ikehn7: We cant help you if you dont tell us whats wrong | 00:03 |
| skinofstars1 | karel_: system>preferences>powermanagement | 00:03 |
| quibbler | idigital, lokk here: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html | 00:03 |
| Pici | RadSurfer2: Those ports are not blocked by default | 00:03 |
| Pici | RadSurfer2: No ports are | 00:03 |
| ikehn7 | the problem is icant log on to my wireless internet | 00:03 |
| RadSurfer2 | ok. next problem. I want to enable port 5200 UDP | 00:03 |
| skinofstars1 | Pici: ikehn7 is having problems making a broadcom driver work | 00:03 |
| _Vi_ | RadSurfer2: usually that is done through your router's web interface... like http://192.168.0.1 or what not... | 00:03 |
| ikehn7 | even after activation of driver | 00:03 |
| ikehn7 | and correct network connection config | 00:04 |
| Pici | skinofstars1: He says the doc is confusing, what part | 00:04 |
| stevewd | whyameye: that makes sense. I will try to go into safe mode (recovery mode) of the updated kernel and change it. Do you have a recommended graphics driver I should use? | 00:04 |
| gbear14275 | so if I had an error (which I'm going to guess is common) on the update today... do I need to do anything? or is it self recovering? it said something about leaving a component unconfigured... | 00:04 |
| ikehn7 | wait for wireless atat is it web 128 or web paraphrase | 00:04 |
| ikehn7 | or passphrase | 00:04 |
| skinofstars1 | Pici: to be honest, the wifi docs do seem to go round in circles :( | 00:04 |
| whyameye | stevewd: I was using the same one you were. I then built my own which was a stupid thing to do. I'd go with the same one you were already using. | 00:05 |
| skinofstars1 | ikehn7: you just need to try them | 00:05 |
| ikehn7 | try them? | 00:05 |
| RadSurfer2 | someow that does not make Ubuntu seem very secure. | 00:05 |
| karel_ | skinofstars1: I already did that, but when hibernate / sleep is being processed my system hangs with a black screen | 00:05 |
| RadSurfer2 | ^somehow | 00:05 |
| skinofstars1 | Pici: and there isn't even an obvious page for intrepid | 00:05 |
| ikehn7 | lol | 00:05 |
| Pici | RadSurfer2: Nothing is listening on the ports by default either | 00:05 |
| _Vi_ | RadSurfer2: Ubuntu is like a house with NO windows or doors, why would it need more defence? | 00:05 |
| ikehn7 | lol | 00:06 |
| ikehn7 | oh myT_______________T | 00:06 |
| skinofstars1 | ikehn7: ok. you have your broadcom drivers enabled. you now need to look at the computers in the top right | 00:06 |
| stevewd | whyameye: I will see if I can get into the recovery mode. Someone in the forums, after the update, was unable to get into any of his versions within GRUB. This included the recovery mode. I have learned my lesson, NEVER, update the computer on the day of issue. | 00:06 |
| ikehn7 | they are black with oj triangle | 00:06 |
| e3co | RadSurfer2: You can make exceptions using one of the iptable gui's. You can open a port on your router | 00:06 |
| skinofstars1 | once broadcom is enabled they should come to life. maybe you need to log out and back in or something | 00:07 |
| stevewd | whyameye: Do you know of place on the Ubuntu's website that announces the freakin updates? | 00:07 |

| whyameye | stevewd: I don't know where the updates are announced and I've never hesitated to update my machine. I'm sorry about the problem you are having. Frustrating I know. | 00:08 |
| Stef1 | I have a program that steals mouse and keyboard input somehow I'm able to press ctrl alt F4 to goto a terminal. How can I kill the app that hangs or restart the gui? | 00:08 |
| syzygy | so, when I boot into ubuntu hardy on my laptop, it brings me straight to text line and ctrl+alt+f7 does not bring up my gui, it says "kinit trying to resume from /dev/disk/by-uuiod..." | 00:08 |
| syzygy | anybody know how to get gnome to load | 00:08 |
| syzygy | it is installed | 00:08 |
| stevewd | whyameye: hmmm, that is a good question. I am going by the history in the Synaptic log. | 00:08 |
| stevewd | whyameye: I will double check the version upon rebooting to double-verify. | 00:09 |
| skinofstars1 | syzygy: have you had gnome working before? | 00:09 |
| syzygy | yes | 00:09 |

| gordonjcp | easy, eh | 00:09 |
| werdnum | It won't work. | 00:09 |
| syzygy | skinofstars1: I pressed ctrl+alt+f1 to do some commands, and I could not get back | 00:09 |

| syzygy | and browse folders, but no gui | 00:10 |

| gordonjcp | idigital: some say yes, some say no | 00:11 |
| syzygy | ikehn7: configure your bios and your GRUB | 00:11 |

| ikehn7 | how | 00:11 |
| whyameye | stevewd: yes you can. also maybe you can force an order version with Package -> force version if you can run synaptic. | 00:12 |

| ari_stress | morning all :) | 00:16 |
| syzygy | ikehn7: what does it load on startup? | 00:17 |
| genii | Hm. There's lspci and there's lsusb. Is there something like lsisa (aside from lshw). I can't see an ISA based soundcard on a particular box with the usual tools | 00:17 |

| stevewd | whyameye: I don't know what package to choose the reflects the previous kernel version. | 00:18 |
| idigital | gordonjcp thx , so ubuntu [ext 3] mounted as none and another [ext 3] partition mounted as /home and another one is mounted as [swap] | 00:19 |

| eegore | anyone have a clue as to what I need to do. | 00:21 |
| syzygy | skinofstars1: I tried cedega, but it costs money...wine runs it fine, however...my comp overheats a lot because it was built poorly | 00:22 |
| skinofstars1 | ikehn: where possible you should always add software through the repos | 00:22 |
| robinhood2008 | add to that the fact that the computer i'm planning to run it on is not my own... | 00:22 |
| genii | gordonjcp: Thats the catch22. Since it doesn't load any, I need to find out card make to know what module.... etc etc. No matter, I'll just yank it out and look it up at some point then. Just thought might be some ISA synonym for lspci or so | 00:22 |
| WebcamWonder | ikehn7: sudo aptitude install wine <= will download, and configure things for you (somewhat) | 00:22 |
| ikehn7 | couldnt find package wine | 00:22 |
| gordonjcp | genii: yeah | 00:22 |
| stevewd | whyameye: The names of about 12 or so updates are there | 00:22 |
| ikehn7 | its says it cant find wine | 00:22 |
| syzygy | skinofstars1: I think if I can resolve the local repo connection I can install gdm, but I am not sure how to do that/why it no longer works | 00:22 |
| gmap | when I run firefox in command line it says Error: No display specified. How can I correct this? | 00:23 |
| whyameye | stevewd: but you said everything works with the previous kernel, so roll back the kernel only. | 00:23 |
| idigital | gordon first partation should have 4gb for / and ext and as primary and not logic? | 00:23 |
| skinofstars1 | ikehn7: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb | 00:23 |
| WebcamWonder | gmap: You are trying to run firefox from terminal? That will never work | 00:23 |
| idigital | gordonjcp first partation should have 4gb for / and ext and as primary and not logic? | 00:23 |
| ikehn7 | k thank you | 00:23 |
| skinofstars1 | syzygy: not sure either. but it's the best i can come up with | 00:23 |
| robinhood2008 | shall i explain my situation? | 00:23 |
| gmap | webcamwonder how can I run it without desktop? | 00:23 |
| syzygy | skinofstars1: thanks, I will keep looking | 00:23 |
| WebcamWonder | gmap: You can't run any GUI application without a GUI. Look for a textbased browser like lynx | 00:24 |
| skinofstars1 | ikehn7: look for linux alternatives before just installing windows apps | 00:24 |
| stevewd | It does work fine with the other version. I've done that by pressing "esc" within GRUB at first boot up. Then manually move to the previous installation. However, with 12 or or so different updates listed in the history, shouldn't they all get rolled back? | 00:24 |
| tsrk | When I use "apt-get upgrade" I get "The following packages have been kept back: | 00:24 |
| tsrk | linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic | 00:24 |
| tsrk | linux-restricted-modules-generic | 00:24 |
| tsrk | ". What's that mean and how can I install those? | 00:24 |
| FloodBot1 | tsrk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:24 |
| tsrk | Oops, sorry, copy + paste from terminal :S | 00:24 |
| stevewd | whyameye: see previous entry. Forgot your handle agaon | 00:24 |
| WebcamWonder | tsrk: upgrade does a safe-upgrade, it won't install "potientially" unsafe upgrades | 00:25 |
| gmap | webcamwonder I am trying to run firefox on startup without having to load the entire desktop | 00:25 |
| tsrk | WebcamWonder, ok, how can I do an "unsafe" upgrade? | 00:25 |
| Sergeant_Pony | anyone know where I can find mf2t? | 00:25 |
| WebcamWonder | tsrk: sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 00:25 |
| jtaji | tsrk: use 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or 'aptitude full-upgrade' | 00:25 |
| whyameye | stevewd: I think you are fine just rolling back the kernel. | 00:25 |
| tsrk | WebcamWonder, jtaji, thank you | 00:25 |
| ikehn7 | like wat would i get instead of starcraft | 00:26 |
| ikehn7 | why would i look for linux stuff first | 00:26 |
| theguruofgod | fuck | 00:26 |
| stevewd | Okay. I must say that I do like the "recovery mode" in xp and vista versus that. | 00:26 |
| ikehn7 | wait do i need to find ubuntu only or linux is fine | 00:26 |
| theguruofgod | life sucks | 00:26 |

| ikehn7 | kinda | 00:26 |
| ikehn7 | do i need wine | 00:26 |
| ikehn7 | for that | 00:26 |
| syzygy | ikehn7: only for windows programs that are supported | 00:27 |
| skinofstars1 | ikehn7: if you want a specific game then wine. but for normal apps you should llok at open software, eg, open office not MS office, gimp not photoshop | 00:27 |
| ikehn7 | oh | 00:27 |
| ikehn7 | but gimp is lacking though | 00:27 |
| syzygy | ikehn7: how? | 00:27 |
| bort_ | hello, I see a vertical green line in all my DivX MPEG-4 Version 5 movie files, I believe it due to a wrong codec. What's the command for re-installing that codec, if there is any? | 00:27 |
| ikehn7 | is windows app detrimental to buntu | 00:27 |
| whyameye | stevewd: I don't think synaptic is that stupid. I guess I can't guarentee anything but in my mind it seems like booting with the previous kernel is doing exactly the same thing except with synaptic you are removing the other kernel entirely. | 00:27 |
| syzygy | ikehn7: it save to more formats | 00:27 |
| skinofstars1 | ikehn7: how is gimp lacking? i love that app! | 00:27 |
| syzygy | ikehn7: and it has as many options | 00:27 |
| syzygy | aye | 00:27 |
| syzygy | me too | 00:28 |
| ikehn7 | its ok | 00:28 |
| syzygy | I know people who forge birth certificate with it | 00:28 |
| syzygy | it's more than okay | 00:28 |

| bthornton | got a weird problem on my Hardy box after doing a dist-upgrade. I've booted to kernel 2.6.24-23-generic, but /lib/modules/ does not have a directory for the currently running kernel (it only has 2.6.22*) | 00:29 |

| whyameye | stevewd: sure. good luck. | 00:29 |

| ikehn7 | wat am i suppose to hit | 00:30 |

| nikneym | what's the name of the lamp package in ubuntu? | 00:31 |
| WebcamWonder | grandy: man ufw | 00:31 |
| grandy | WebcamWonder: I've read it, didn't notice that info... | 00:31 |
| bthornton | is there an apt-get/aptitude command that reinstalls an installed package (i.e. uninstalls and then installs)? | 00:31 |
| bort_ | what's the command to uninstall the divx video codec? | 00:31 |

| tritium | !lamp | 00:32 |
| 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+) | 00:32 |
| iamelite | Firestarter, Well James_A, I tried that program to share my internets. But it failed miserably. | 00:32 |
| loopwert | this is under wine | 00:32 |
| grandy | WebcamWonder: hmm I just added a rule to allow port 3000 yet there is no mention of port 3000 in /etc/ufw/sysctcl.conf | 00:33 |
| bort_ | subinacls: does that command works too for uninstalling a video codec? (Divx)? | 00:33 |
| subinacls | if you installed divx by the way apt-get | 00:34 |
| subinacls | did you complie from source | 00:34 |
| wolter | is there any virtual machine with graphic card support? | 00:34 |
| subinacls | or grab it from some package manager | 00:34 |
| WebcamWonder | grandy: /var/lib/ufw/user.rules, please read the entire man page | 00:34 |
| Omikane | How do you toggle the mouse wheel in ubuntu? | 00:35 |
| grandy | WebcamWonder: ahhh ... there they are! Thanks much... I didn't realize that command line rules were considered "user rules" ... i have read the man page a few times... sometimes they are a bit confusing | 00:35 |

| WebcamWonder | gbear14275: We don't support unofficial repositories | 00:36 |
| bthornton | what's currently the latest kernel for Hardy? | 00:36 |
| subinacls | idigital, i would go with 1 g sawp | 00:36 |
| wolter | idigital, so i'd put either 2gb or 1gb | 00:36 |
| subinacls | swap | 00:36 |
| bthornton | is it a 2.6.22 or 2.6.24? | 00:36 |
| WebcamWonder | bthornton: .23 | 00:36 |
| bort_ | subinacls: I have this green line in every divx video file I have. I think I reinstalled divx and the same problem persisted | 00:36 |
| subinacls | i run 512 for swap | 00:37 |
| WebcamWonder | bthornton: With proposed updates off, that is | 00:37 |
| bort_ | subinacls: what else can be done? | 00:37 |
| gbear14275 | WebcamWonder: thats great... but unfortunately this was an ubuntu official update that errored out... I now get that when I hit "check" | 00:37 |
| grandy | WebcamWonder: since you seem to know a lot about ufw, suppose I'm setting up a few servers, would I just edit user.rules accordingly for each one? Or would you recommend some other approach? | 00:37 |
| subinacls | also speeds depends on partitions | 00:37 |
| subinacls | r/w head closer to center of disk <partition 1> would have better preformance then having it on part3 or so on | 00:37 |
| grandy | WebcamWonder: I'm wondering if it might make more sense to define applications first, seems optional but might make the config more clear | 00:38 |
| bthornton | WebcamWonder: any idea how 2.6.24-23 is showing up in synaptic? | 00:38 |
| bort_ | subinacls: can you tell me how to uninstall the divx? maybe if vlc does not find it, it downloads it automatically | 00:39 |
| Omikane | How do you toggle the mouse wheel in ubuntu? | 00:39 |
| subinacls | as for the divx | 00:39 |
| subinacls | you can try to get another codec | 00:39 |
| gbear14275 | WebcamWonder: so any ideas? This is all official releases i'm trying to update | 00:39 |
| idigital | wolter 1024 mb = 1gb or should i put 1.1gb? | 00:40 |
| WebcamWonder | gbear14275: sudo aptitude update ? see if it flushes out | 00:40 |
| gbear14275 | idigital: 1Gib | 00:40 |
| bort_ | anyone?? | 00:40 |
| bort_ | ah | 00:40 |
| bort_ | subinacls: like hi | 00:40 |
| bort_ | which* | 00:41 |
| WebcamWonder | grandy: Sure you can. But if you have servers, I would say go for a firewall like iptables. That is a steep learning curve, but the benefits are immense | 00:41 |
| lonely_athens | #ircwarez | 00:41 |
| idigital | does it matter if the swap is type of partaition as primary or logic? | 00:41 |

| Flannel | idigital: Nope | 00:41 |
| subinacls | avi | 00:41 |
| subinacls | maybe swf player | 00:41 |
| WebcamWonder | grandy: But, yeah you can directly modify the rules, ufw should have no problems as long as you enter them correctly (in the correct format/syntax that is) | 00:41 |
| bthornton | I've got a package that won't remove, but I need to reinstall it. Any ideas how to do that? | 00:42 |
| gbear14275 | WebcamWonder:http://paste.ubuntu.com/111076/ | 00:42 |
| grandy | WebcamWonder: might I ask for a few of the reasons you'd recommend iptables? ufw is mainly just to get *some* security, but I will take the time to learn iptables if it will help | 00:42 |
| adi1 | what usb wireless draft G or N for laptop is known to work out of the box in ubuntu? | 00:42 |

| adi1 | I need to buy one | 00:42 |
| adi1 | usb wireless | 00:43 |
| WebcamWonder | grandy: iptables is all firewalls in the market, combined, on steroids. You can fine tune, and fine grain each and everything. But if you are going more for the, these are the list of ports that need to be open, ufw should serve you just fine | 00:43 |
| adi1 | but I dont know what brand is suported in ubuntu | 00:43 |
| adi1 | anyone any idea? | 00:44 |
| WebcamWonder | gbear14275: Could you pastebin your sources as well? | 00:44 |
| grandy | WebcamWonder: ahh ok... thanks for the advice. At present my needs are fairly minimal but I think I'll read a few tutorials on iptables and see how it goes too... | 00:44 |

| WebcamWonder | gbear14275: Well, go through your sources, and try to disable launchpad repos that seem doubtful, and then re-upgrade | 00:52 |
| gbear14275 | ok | 00:52 |
| gbear14275 | will try that | 00:52 |
| WebcamWonder | syzygy: Highly doubt that. vim is a text editor at its best, it shouldn;t be able to read compressed/formatted files like odt, unless of some plugins | 00:52 |
| syzygy | WebcamWonder: dern, okay | 00:53 |
| Flannel | syzygy: Yes. | 00:53 |

| turtle_ | "problem with sound device" when calling | 00:59 |
| subinacls | alsaconfig | 00:59 |
| subinacls | check see if your levels are right | 00:59 |
| ikehn7 | so i just google that question? | 01:00 |
| rww | !virtualbox | ikehn7 | 01:00 |
| ubottu | ikehn7: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 01:00 |
| subinacls | redefine your statement and ask google ikehn7 | 01:00 |
| hvgotcodes | i tried to upgrade my nvidia drivers, but now i get an error when trying to start x about api mismatch -- has anyone seen this? | 01:00 |
| turtle_ | I don't have an alsaconfig and there is no alsaconfig in the ubuntu multiverse | 01:00 |
| exodus_ms | ikehn7: --> http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualbox_ubuntu | 01:00 |
| rww | hvgotcodes: what version of Ubuntu are you using (Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty, etc.)? | 01:01 |
| gbear14275 | whats the hotkey for copy? Ctrl-C ends a service... | 01:01 |
| hvgotcodes | rww: intrepid | 01:01 |
| turtle_ | should I install alsa-oss? | 01:01 |
| gbear14275 | need to get something out of a terminal display window | 01:01 |
| hvgotcodes | the kernel was just updated today, but i instlaled the driver after | 01:01 |
| jarco | gbear14275, middlemouse? | 01:01 |
| meoblast001 | hi... i feel like a complete idiot.. but it appears i have forgotten how to make an audio cd | 01:01 |
| meoblast001 | would someone like to stimulate that part of my brain? | 01:02 |
| gbear14275 | hmm... not sure that worked | 01:02 |
| rww | hvgotcodes: So you have the latest kernel and drivers installed? Did you restart after the installation? | 01:02 |
| jarco | meoblast001, k3b not working? | 01:02 |
| syzygy | meoblast001: dl gnome baker | 01:02 |
| rww | meoblast001: k3b or brasero can both do that | 01:02 |
| subinacls | k3b is good | 01:02 |
| exodus_ms | gbear14275: to copy in the terminal you need shift+ctrl+c | 01:02 |
| syzygy | thos too | 01:02 |
| meoblast001 | ahh... i thought there was an option in rhythmbox.. found it | 01:03 |
| subinacls | very well could be | 01:03 |
| hvgotcodes | rww: ooohhhhh didnt realize i had to restart the system -- is there a modprobe command that cna do it? | 01:03 |
| gbear14275 | exodus_ms: no dice... just see's it as a ctrl+c | 01:04 |
| rww | hvgotcodes: I don't think so. As far as I know, kernel upgrades require actual restarts. | 01:04 |
| ikehn7 | anyone know what root means? | 01:05 |
| hvgotcodes | rww: i thought running the nvidia package compiles a new kernel modue and that one could rmmod the old module out and modprobe the new one in | 01:05 |
| ikehn7 | what does root mean? | 01:05 |
| gbear14275 | rww: you got any possible tips... trying to get a terminal output out of a detail display... can't use ctrl+c (obviously) was hoping for a copy shortcut | 01:05 |
| WebcamWonder | !root | ikehn7 | 01:05 |
| ubottu | ikehn7: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 01:05 |
| subinacls | root is god | 01:05 |
| exodus_ms | gbear14275: I dont know shift+ctrl+c always works for me | 01:06 |
| virianflux | hey everyone, on a fresh install of xubuntu and my eyetoy isn't working after following the rasta jpeg hack directions. I think I might have rmmoded a little too far. any thoughts? | 01:06 |
| duelboot | ikehn7, several possibilities...depends on what you are asking about | 01:06 |
| Frijolie | how does ubuntu mount USB devices on-the-fly? | 01:06 |
| subinacls | to get to god you have to get back to your root(s) | 01:06 |
| WebcamWonder | gbear14275: gnome-terminal, or some other? | 01:06 |
| rob1336 | sudo is god | 01:06 |
| rww | ikehn7: It's the administrator account in many Linux distributions. That account is disabled by default in Ubuntu in favor of sudo. | 01:06 |
| idefine | is it possible to tcpdump on port 80? i get garble...is this because the content is gzipped? | 01:06 |
| gbear14275 | WebcamWonder: yes, gnome terminal | 01:06 |
| subinacls | sudo su | 01:06 |
| WebcamWonder | gbear14275: Edit -> Copy? :) | 01:06 |
| subinacls | enter password for your user | 01:06 |
| turtle_ | sudo su is a good command | 01:06 |
| subinacls | and you then are root | 01:06 |
| hvgotcodes | rww: that didn't do it -- it syas the nvidia kernel modue hass version 177.82 but the driver component has 180.22 | 01:06 |
| rww | gbear14275: I'm not sure what you're asking. gnome-terminal uses Ctrl-Shift-C instead of Ctrl-C, if that's what you mean. | 01:06 |
| subinacls | sudo su == root | 01:06 |
| rob1336 | gksu is the GUI version of god | 01:06 |
| Frijolie | anyone? | 01:07 |
| gbear14275 | WebcamWonder: but its the details portion of the changes applied window from the update manager. Its details in a terminal window... not necessarily gnome terminal | 01:07 |
| turtle_ | If I type alsamixer I see PulseAudio as my card; is that okya? | 01:07 |
| rob1336 | Frijolie, it does for me | 01:07 |
| istvan | i'm getting this error: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory -- how do i solve it? | 01:07 |
| WebcamWonder | gbear14275: Oh, I see. I believe, (I am not sure), the apt-log dumps that as well | 01:07 |
| Frijolie | rob1336, yeah cause you've got USB in your name | 01:08 |
| subinacls | find that lib and install it | 01:08 |
| WebcamWonder | gbear14275: Other than that, that is a dumb terminal. Try the middle click | 01:08 |
| Adman65 | how is ubuntu server handle MD raid and LVM? | 01:08 |
| subinacls | libopenal <~~~ google that | 01:08 |
| subinacls | locate what package that has | 01:08 |
| Adman65 | better than the desktop edition i hope | 01:08 |
| subinacls | apt-get install package here | 01:08 |
| gbear14275 | WebcamWonder: yes, dumb terminal... no response... unless does that dump to a log file somewhere i can get it from instead? | 01:08 |
| subinacls | and ldconfig if the package does not ldconfig automatically | 01:08 |
| rww | hvgotcodes: did you install the nvidia drivers using apt-get or using nvidia's website? | 01:08 |

| mark747 | Adman65: So I'm trying to grab updates to a few large files from a remote server, and I *only* want to grab updates and get new files | 01:10 |

| notdarkyet | hey all, do you guys have any recommendations for cheap hosting with capabilities to host django? i cant afford many of the vps prices (lowest being arround 20 a month), any suggestions would be nice | 01:10 |

| Adman65 | i was reading the manual last night, i think it has a flag for something like that | 01:10 |
| uncle_ben | i keep trying to send e-mail through evolution all day, but it's not working...it was always working before and i haven't made any system changes, so i'm not sure how to troubleshoot: http://i42.tinypic.com/wlzss0.png | 01:10 |
| mark747 | Adman65: Any ideas which one? | 01:10 |
| notdarkyet | sorry wrong room | 01:11 |
| rww | hvgotcodes: NVidia drivers are supported by Ubuntu's restricted driver manager. I'd recommend removing whatever you installed manually from nvidia's installer, and using System > Administration > Hardware Drivers instead. | 01:11 |
| hvgotcodes | rww how do i do that | 01:11 |
| virianflux | hvgotcodes, do you have the latest version of Ubuntu with updates? | 01:11 |
| Frijolie | nobody's a mount guru huh? | 01:11 |
| exodus_ms | uncle_ben: what are you using gmail, etc.. | 01:11 |
| istvan | I get this error: I have no libopenal.so.0 how do I fix that error? i'm on ubuntu studio 64 bit | 01:12 |
| On0bi | heh, in bed i am | 01:12 |
| Adman65 | somewhere near the bottom of the man | 01:12 |
| uncle_ben | exodus_ms: yes, gmail | 01:12 |
| hvgotcodes | virianflux: yes i do - i wanted the newest nvidia drivers because of supposed kde4 performance enhancements | 01:12 |
| exodus_ms | uncle_ben: can you check your email on line, maybe it's on gmails side | 01:12 |
| virianflux | hvgotcodes, so you you are using kubuntu? | 01:12 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: Regarding your old question... There is a gnome-volume-manager, that handles the auto mounting | 01:12 |
| hvgotcodes | virianflux: no regular ubuntu | 01:12 |
| uncle_ben | exodus_ms: yeah, i can log in with firefox and send from there, but not through evolution all of a sudden | 01:12 |
| virianflux | hvgotcodes, so you are using gnome as your window manager? | 01:13 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, isn't there supposed to be an entry in fstab for USB devices? | 01:13 |
| rww | Frijolie: not usually, no | 01:13 |
| hvgotcodes | virianflux: for now | 01:13 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: Not unless you put it manually in there | 01:13 |
| turtle_ | I am having a problem with Skype. Should I run Skype through alsa-oss? | 01:14 |
| virianflux | hvgotcodes, so its 8.10? | 01:14 |
| hvgotcodes | rww: the latest version in the restricted driver manager is still a few versions behind | 01:14 |
| turtle_ | the alsa wrapper? | 01:14 |
| exodus_ms | uncle_ben: edit->preferences->mail accounts, select account and click edit | 01:14 |
| === donna is now known as Guest41576 | ||
| hvgotcodes | virianflux: yes intrepid and up to date, including hte kernel upgrade released today | 01:14 |
| uncle_ben | exodus_ms: ok...what info did you want | 01:14 |
| WebcamWonder | hvgotcodes: I believe you had the same case as me the first time around. You have to blacklist the nvidia, and nv modules | 01:14 |
| WebcamWonder | hvgotcodes: But get the drivers from the repos, if they work fine for you | 01:14 |
| rww | hvgotcodes: that's the latest version supported by Ubuntu. You can upgrade past that manually, I guess, but I can't be much help with it :/ | 01:14 |
| exodus_ms | uncle_ben: check the Receiving Email and Sending Email tabs, see if anything as changed since you last configured it | 01:15 |
| ikehn7 | how can i load ubuntu without having to physically touch it everytime? | 01:15 |
| virianflux | hvgotcodes, did you manage to get up the restricted driver manager? | 01:15 |
| hvgotcodes | WebcamWonder: for kde4.2 it seems a bit sluggish -- i wanted to try the latest drivers to see if it worked better | 01:15 |
| virianflux | ikehn7, do you mean automatic login? | 01:15 |
| WebcamWonder | ikehn7: What do you mean physically touch it everytime? | 01:15 |
| hvgotcodes | virianflux -- yes i uninstalled the unsupported driver and am back to normal | 01:15 |
| ikehn7 | like u knkow the hp laptop | 01:15 |
| ikehn7 | how it has that touchscreen part | 01:16 |
| WebcamWonder | hvgotcodes: Have you read this? More specifically, the blacklisting part? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 01:16 |
| ikehn7 | i have to touch that back and forth | 01:16 |
| hvgotcodes | WebcamWonder: ah thanx thats what i need | 01:16 |
| uncle_ben | exodus_ms: no, i already checked...i've made no changes...when i click the send/receive button, it will pull email from pop, but it won't connect to smtp...i can ping the server at the command line...just can't seem to connect to send email | 01:16 |
| ikehn7 | in order for the orange bar to move | 01:16 |
| virianflux | hvgotcodes, good luck | 01:16 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, hmm...so how do you fix an unmounting iPod if it 'dynamically' is mounted | 01:16 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: You want to stop it from automounting? | 01:16 |
| ikehn7 | anyone have an idea? | 01:17 |
| hvgotcodes | virianflux: thanx -- if it breaks everything im sure ill be back | 01:17 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, no I want it to mount | 01:17 |
| ikehn7 | do i need virus scanner for ubuntu? | 01:17 |
| WebcamWonder | ikehn7: Nope | 01:17 |
| phixxor | hello, I am trying to get wireless to work on my sister's computer, it is a very strange problem | 01:17 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: And the automount doesn't mount it? | 01:17 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, it was mounting before and I tried to change the volume name and messed it up I think | 01:17 |
| exodus_ms | uncle_ben: you have this for Sending Email options: Server=smtp.gmail.com (check mark next to Server requires autho SSL encryption PLAIN Authentication | 01:17 |

| ubottu | ikehn7: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 01:17 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: Ahh. Have you tried moutning it manually? | 01:17 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, no, I don't know how to do that | 01:18 |

| ikehn7 | thanks | 01:18 |
| uncle_ben | exodus_ms: yes, i already have those settings...keep in mind this has been working all along...it's just now i can't connect to the server...it times out...it's not even an authentication failure...no error codes | 01:18 |
| phixxor | All was hunky dory in 8.04, but when I go to 8.10 (first by update, second time I did a fresh install) network manager connects to my network automatically, stays connected for a few minutes, and then disconnects unable to reconnect | 01:18 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: Arghh, useless info. Hold up | 01:18 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 01:19 |
| the|Navigator | Is it possible for me to stop a user changing any preferences/editing their menu bars? | 01:19 |

| Mood | is there a way of auto starting services (e.g. apache) upon ubuntu startup? | 01:19 |
| lifenova1 | Can anyone help me with port forwarding? I'm trying to get apache to work so that my server can be viewed from my external IP - I've forwarded the ports as described on portforward.com, but going to my IP in my browser just sends me to my modem's home page. Help? | 01:19 |
| virianflux | Mood, yes | 01:19 |
| WebcamWonder | Mood: Prefs -> Sessions, Adm -> Services | 01:20 |
| rww | uncle_ben: It's possible that your Internet Service Provider started blocking SMTP requests. Several of them do that, unfortunately. | 01:20 |
| syzygy | I need to reinstall gdm, but I cannot connect to the internet to dl, and I do not have a live cd...can I mount a usb key with the package and install from terminal (sicne I have no gui)? | 01:20 |
| syzygy | stupid gnome | 01:20 |
| uncle_ben | rww: why would they do that? they think i'm a spammer? | 01:20 |
| WebcamWonder | syzygy: The package list for ubuntu-desktop is quite big. It is very difficult to manually hunt down every package | 01:20 |
| phixxor | syzygy: good scrabble word :) | 01:20 |
| * syzygy sighs | 01:20 | |
| Mood | WebcamWonder: I'm using Xubuntu... I don't have Prefs | 01:21 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, how do you find the "<device_address>"? | 01:21 |
| ikehn7 | why does it say unknown id:apt-get when i try to install something | 01:21 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: sudo fdisk -l | 01:21 |
| Mood | which file has the "upon startup" services? | 01:21 |
| virianflux | syzygy, I think it's do-able | 01:21 |
| WebcamWonder | syzygy: Do you have a USB large enough to hold the entire image itself? | 01:21 |
| Mood | i'd like to edit the auto startup services manually (manual configuration via file) | 01:21 |
| syzygy | 2g | 01:22 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, that'd be l33t but isn't that overkill? | 01:22 |
| rww | uncle_ben: I have no idea why, it's just something they do. | 01:22 |
| Hurley_ | Hello | 01:22 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, alright, I plug it in and get error message "mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)" | 01:22 |
| Hurley_ | can i upgrade from debian etch to ubuntu? | 01:22 |
| virianflux | syzygy, you should be able to use apt-get if you have the debs | 01:22 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: I don't know of an attempt by anyone to consolidate all the packages required to install ubuntu-desktop from an alternative/server install. If you do, I would be happy to learn of something new | 01:23 |
| uncle_ben | rww: that makes no send...why would they block someone from sending e-mail? unless it's because i'm trying to connect multiple times with different gmail accounts and they think i'm spamming | 01:23 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, also "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." | 01:23 |

| lynxz | I have an ATI 4870x2, and it's running much hotter in Ubuntu than Windows? Anybody knows the reason / a fix ? | 01:23 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: Yeah, that would be nautilus failing to mount it. Hold on | 01:23 |
| rww | uncle_ben: If your hostname is accurate, you're connecting using RCN. It wouldn't be the first time they've done it: http://www.google.com/search?q=SMTP+RCN | 01:23 |
| syzygy | virianflux: so just dl them on this computer, onto usb, and run install as a normal command? or should I move them somewhere? | 01:23 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: Try manually mounting it | 01:23 |
| NJ | uncle_ben: Server: smtp.gmail.com:587 try t | 01:23 |
| virianflux | syzygy, that would work if you can use another net connection, yes | 01:24 |

| syzygy | virianflux: I cannot fetch packages, internet search reveals I need cd to install select packages w/o internet | 01:29 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: You can try manually mounting that. I have no clue how to solve this as a long-term problem, not much of a mount expert :) | 01:30 |
| prabha1989 | once when i booted up..when ubuntu loads...the screen goes blank....no connection to the screen d keyboard comes | 01:30 |
| virianflux | syzygy, yes you just need the package list for ubuntu-desktop | 01:30 |
| virianflux | that should help | 01:30 |
| prabha1989 | now when i restarted all things goes fine | 01:30 |
| prabha1989 | help me | 01:30 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, which is my volume? that last one listed in my pastebin? the W95 fat32? | 01:30 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: Yeah | 01:30 |
| virianflux | syzygy, wget them all to usb? | 01:30 |
| Tyrath | would anyone be able to help me get exim4 running? | 01:31 |
| Tyrath | i don't get any compiler errors when i run the update.conf | 01:32 |
| Tyrath | and when i run the program no emails arrive in my inbox | 01:32 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, hmm.. mount point /media/iPod doesn't exist | 01:32 |
| lynxz | I used to have an option on my older machine ( "Swap Center/LFE" ), can't find it anymore on my new machine, anybody knows how to get it to appear ? | 01:32 |
| Solet | how do you see the exit code of a program in terminal? | 01:32 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: You have to manually create that | 01:32 |
| virianflux | Frijolie, sudo mkdir /media/iPod | 01:32 |
| icechickenx | hello | 01:33 |

| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, thanks | 01:33 |
| tsrk | how can i tell what kernel version i'm running right now? | 01:33 |
| Frijolie | virianflux, thanks | 01:33 |
| Tyrath | Solet: run the program in terminal and it should just show | 01:33 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, heh, thanks | 01:33 |

| tsrk | wow, fast answers, thanks :D | 01:33 |
| Tyrath | gah | 01:33 |
| icechickenx | are you from ubuntu support? | 01:33 |
| syzygy | yeah, but I have debian on my workign comp...so I need to find the ubuntu-desktop binaries on my own... | 01:33 |
| isaak | i am former ikehn7 | 01:33 |
| Solet | Tyrath: i did, i did pm-is-supported --hybernate, and it just went to the next prompt | 01:33 |
| Solet | should show 0 for supported, 1 for not supported | 01:34 |
| lynxz | I have an ATI 4870x2, and it's running much hotter in Ubuntu than Windows? Anybody knows the reason / a fix ? | 01:34 |
| syzygy | http://mirror.hampshire.edu/ubuntu/dists/hardy | 01:34 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: Ouch. You should be better capable of Frijolie... I mount things very very rarely :) | 01:34 |
| syzygy | are they in here somewher? | 01:34 |
| Tyrath | Solet: have you checked in /var/log/ for a log? | 01:34 |
| isaak | ice_cream, i am a noob but i can do anything that i just learned | 01:34 |
| icechickenx | whom do I chat with for driver support? | 01:34 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, well you fixed it! | 01:34 |
| Frijolie | virianflux, you helped to fix it! | 01:34 |
| tritium | syzygy: you don't want to mix ubuntu and debian packages | 01:35 |
| lifenova1 | !ask | icechickenx | 01:35 |
| ubottu | icechickenx: 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. :-) | 01:35 |
| virianflux | Frijolie, no problem | 01:35 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder, icon on the desktop! now wonder if it will mount on it's own | 01:35 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: Haha. Hardly... You just remounted it :). And don't forget to "umount" it once you are about to eject | 01:35 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, 2 hard drive failures when abroad in San Francisco is a great survival experience | 01:35 |
| isaak | ice_cream, you can do that with anyone in here | 01:35 |
| w33d5 | can someone give me a quick BASH for loop to rename files incrementing each file to scannedphoto-XXXX.jpg? | 01:35 |
| Tyrath | Solet: I'm not sure if this works but feel free to try: cat /var/log/* | grep hibernate | 01:35 |
| syzygy | tritium: I am aware of that, which is why i did not use synaptic, but the link is to ubuntu not debian | 01:35 |
| Frijolie | virianflux, now, how do you get it to automount upon next insertion automagically? | 01:35 |
| Hurley_ | hello, what is a x11drv ? cedega say on my amd64 hardy cannot load x11drv :( | 01:35 |
| tritium | syzygy: because this is a channel for ubuntu support | 01:35 |
| virianflux | Frijolie, you could modify your fstab I guess | 01:36 |
| syzygy | tritium: what? | 01:36 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: The problem is that it is automounting, but automounting to some weird location. You can always modify your fstab to override the gnome-volume-manager's craziness | 01:36 |
| tritium | syzygy: hence the channel name, #ubuntu | 01:36 |
| virianflux | Frijolie, adding the mount to the fstab is more serious | 01:36 |
| syzygy | tritium: I am trying to fix ubuntu, with ubuntu packages? | 01:36 |
| icechickenx | 10-4. i've been reading on how to modify the xorg.conf file, but I'm new to linux based os. how to I increase my resolution, if driver is not supported by NEC? | 01:36 |
| syzygy | tritium: hence my presence here, and link to ubuntu packages | 01:36 |
| Tyrath | !channel exim4 | 01:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about channel exim4 | 01:36 |
| Tyrath | :/ | 01:36 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder: can I get your help on that one. I don't know what you have to put | 01:36 |
| syzygy | what I need to know is how to find ubuntu-desktop packages | 01:37 |
| tritium | syzygy: you said you have debian on your machine | 01:37 |
| Frijolie | virianflux: yeah, I don't know what to put beyond the mount points | 01:37 |
| Tyrath | maybe i should try bugging the debian people :/ | 01:37 |
| syzygy | tritium: yeah, the one that actually loads | 01:37 |
| WebcamWonder | Frijolie: virianflux would be much better at helping you. I have never messed much with my fstab | 01:37 |
| isaak | icechickenx, funny thing i am trying to do the same thing | 01:37 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: If you would be kind enough | 01:37 |
| syzygy | tritium: that is how I am talking to you now | 01:37 |
| virianflux | Frijolie, did you try googling how to add to the fstab? | 01:37 |
| WebcamWonder | !fstab | Frijolie | 01:37 |
| ubottu | Frijolie: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 01:37 |
| icechickenx | great, we can fumble together | 01:37 |
| yoyit2 | i have hardy running right now is there a way i can upgrade too 8.10 without reformating | 01:37 |
| zeroshade | has anyone in here compiled torque game engine 1.5.2? :) | 01:37 |
| WebcamWonder | !upgrade | yoyit2 | 01:37 |
| ubottu | yoyit2: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 01:37 |
| Frijolie | WebcamWonder: yeah, I know the mount points now but the dbus options.. | 01:37 |
| Frijolie | virianflux, yes I have. | 01:38 |
| syzygy | tritium: otherwise I would be screwed because I cannot get a gui to load in ubuntu, or conenct to internet, hence the entire "load ubuntu-desktop" on usb to load manually | 01:38 |
| Frijolie | virianflux, before coming here | 01:38 |
| isaak | icechickenx, lol ya im checking out instruction from here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=748857 | 01:38 |
| syzygy | tritium: but I still need to find packages | 01:38 |
| syzygy | to load onto usb | 01:38 |
| icechickenx | goin there now | 01:38 |
| isaak | icechickenx, cool | 01:38 |
| virianflux | Frijolie, do you know the syntax fstab requires? | 01:39 |
| tritium | syzygy: ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that depends on hundreds of other packages | 01:39 |
| WebcamWonder | syzygy: If you have 700 MB to spare, it could be done really fast. But you can go ahead, and try compiling the list of dependencies, and their dependencies, and so forth | 01:39 |
| anom01y | for some reason, every time I reload alsa, kmix changes. Sometimes it shows the inputs, sometimes it doesn't. And the number of volume sliders changes everytime I reload alsa too, which is frustrating because I have to keep reloading alsa to try and get kmix to finally display the correct volumes and all the inputs that my audio card has | 01:39 |
| Frijolie | virianflux, <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> | 01:39 |
| icechickenx | hmm...how do I set that up? | 01:39 |
| syzygy | tritium: that sucks, but it will still fit on a usb,... | 01:39 |
| Frijolie | virianflux, what are the <options> <dump> and <pass> | 01:40 |
| virianflux | Frijolie, find out an example USB mount someone else has done online | 01:40 |
| syzygy | WebcamWonder: /me sighs okay | 01:40 |
| isaak | icechickenx, hm.... im trying to figure that out | 01:40 |
| Frijolie | virianflux, and just assume that it would apply to my hardware? | 01:40 |
| virianflux | Frijolie, some of the options arent needed, you need an example then you can modify the mount point to one you want and your device ID | 01:40 |
| isaak | icechickenx, trying to dl the nvidia driver for my card first | 01:40 |
| === Tyrath is now known as Tyr[a]th | ||
| tritium | isaak: use ubuntu-packaged drivers, not nvidia downloads | 01:41 |
| virianflux | Frijolie, im sure you can find an example that will partly apply, yes | 01:41 |
| icechickenx | dl? | 01:41 |
| virianflux | Frijolie, can you figure out how to message me directly? | 01:41 |
| icechickenx | where do i get ubuntu packaged drivers? | 01:41 |
| isaak | hey does anyone know if i should use linux 64 or 32 bit for driver dl? | 01:41 |
| tritium | icechickenx: they are in the repositories. You can also go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers | 01:42 |
| WebcamWonder | isaak: Depends on what version you are running, 64 or 32 | 01:42 |
| lifenova1 | issak: how much ram do you have | 01:42 |
| icechickenx | yeah, tried that but I get nothing | 01:42 |
| isaak | lifenova1, 3 gigs | 01:42 |
| tritium | icechickenx: otherwise, you can install them like any other package, via apt-get, aptitude, or synaptic | 01:42 |
| lifenova1 | isaak: 32bit | 01:42 |
| === Octoroks is now known as loserman | ||
| WebcamWonder | lifenova1: WHAT? | 01:42 |
| WebcamWonder | lifenova1: You cannot say that a person is running a 32 bit OS judging by the amount of memory he/she has | 01:43 |
| icechickenx | all i get is "no proprietary drivers" | 01:43 |
| tritium | WebcamWonder: he's probably getting at the fact that 32-bit OSes can't address greater than 2^32, hence the 3 GB memory limit | 01:44 |
| isaak | ? | 01:44 |
| WebcamWonder | tritium: Still, that doesn't make it right. I am running a x86_64 with 1 gig of ram | 01:45 |
| isaak | make what right? | 01:45 |
| tritium | WebcamWonder: that's fine. If he was successfully running > 3 GB, one would have to conclude he's using a 64-bit OS as well. | 01:45 |
| princedugan | ok my external USB sound works (makes noise). How to I direct my software DVD player to use it? | 01:45 |

| ubuntu_is_dabest | what software to use to run a prepaid hotspot server? | 01:47 |

| MajorPayne | Hi. I was able to edit /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi to very close the way I want it. Only one more problem left, I have to have almost my full fingerprint on the thing before the mouse pointer will move (if I just use the tip of my finger nothing hapens). It wasn't like this before I upgraded to 8.10. What seting do I change to improve that? | 01:47 |

| ubuntu_is_dabest | php5 on synaptic? | 01:49 |

| J_To | WOOT | 01:50 |
| asdfqwer | someone w/ gedit check to see if there is a key-bound for saving a file? | 01:50 |
| darkkyokusanagi_ | Hello all :-) | 01:50 |
| tritium | icechickenx: drivers are specific to graphics cards, not monitors | 01:50 |
| WebcamWonder | asdfqwer: CTRL + S | 01:50 |
| corey_ | ubuntu_is_dabest: synaptic or apt-get | 01:50 |
| asdfqwer | great, my key-bindings are fubared | 01:50 |
| _Vi_ | vi is easier asdfqwer :q! | 01:51 |
| icechickenx | how do I find out what graphics driver I have? if this was windows...it would be a no brainer...but I'm new to linux... | 01:51 |
| WebcamWonder | _Vi_: That doesn't save :P | 01:51 |
| lynxz | any idea why my ati 4870x2 is running much hotter on ubuntu than windows? like 20 C difference! | 01:51 |
| asdfqwer | _Vi_, vi is easier than gedit, i doubt it | 01:51 |
| _Vi_ | WebcamWonder: oops i thought he wanted to exit! lol | 01:51 |
| darkkyokusanagi_ | anyone have a trick for the v-sync problem on video under ubuntu 8.10 with nvidia driver 177.82 ? | 01:51 |
| asdfqwer | _Vi_, besides i use emacs for advanced editing | 01:51 |
| cbwcjw | _Vi_: KDE 4.2 works pretty nice | 01:51 |
| tritium | darkkyokusanagi_: you probably want to be more specific. Many people use that driver with no such issues. | 01:52 |
| asdfqwer | i think realplayer f*cked up my keybindings | 01:52 |
| asdfqwer | as odd as that sounds | 01:52 |
| tritium | asdfqwer: watch your language | 01:52 |
| _Vi_ | asdfqwer: oh i loved emacs until I found out how horrible their channel is... I ran to Vi , and and never looked back. | 01:52 |
| asdfqwer | i did | 01:52 |
| tritium | asdfqwer: not good enough | 01:52 |
| asdfqwer | lol | 01:52 |
| _Vi_ | cbwcjw: i tried that in vbox, no luck :( | 01:52 |
| asdfqwer | k | 01:52 |
| corey_ | php5-cli as standard package is with shuhosin patch, but i need without it | 01:52 |
| stevenm | Hey guys. Thinkpad volume keys adjust the volume in hardware, but gnome's volume display is still nice. Is there any way to get it to still show the volume on-screen when those keys are pressed, but not actually adjust it? I mean, short of writing your own script for it | 01:53 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest28612 | ||
| cbwcjw | _Vi_: Oh well, It does pretty good on my laptop. Im hanging out in #kubuntu haha | 01:53 |
| icechickenx | tritium, how do I find out what graphics card I have? I was given this computer for free | 01:53 |
| _Vi_ | cbwcjw: i get like a graphical glitch, that "rolls" and only show s 50% of the screen | 01:53 |
| tritium | icechickenx: lspci -v, for one. lshw, for another | 01:53 |
| cbwcjw | _Vi_: Odd. | 01:53 |
| darkkyokusanagi_ | i have set V-sync to blank in nvidia settings and in the compiz manager, i set my refresh rate too and when i play a movie in fullscreen i have a tearing with totem, vlc, mplayer | 01:53 |
| WebcamWonder | icechickenx: lspci | 01:53 |
| tritium | WebcamWonder: a bit late there ;) | 01:54 |
| icechickenx | enter in terminal, yes? | 01:54 |
| _Vi_ | cbwcjw: yeah, ive never had an issue with KDE before so who knows . i'll find a fix soon I hope :) | 01:54 |
| yoyit2 | how do you make all your windows transparent?? through compiz | 01:54 |
| yoyit2 | ?? | 01:54 |
| tritium | icechickenx: yes | 01:54 |
| usser | darkkyokusanagi_: update the driver, latest one seems to be 180.22 | 01:54 |
| WebcamWonder | tritium: Apparently, I am blind :P | 01:54 |
| tritium | WebcamWonder: :) | 01:54 |
| usser | darkkyokusanagi_: its not as hard as it seems | 01:54 |
| icechickenx | trying it now... | 01:54 |
| WebcamWonder | yoyit2: You can bind the keys required to do that task. I think there is a default binding, whihc I have sadly forgotten | 01:55 |
| usser | darkkyokusanagi_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 01:55 |
| tritium | icechickenx: a lot of information will scroll by. Pipe the output into less, then you can page through it with keypresses: lspci | less | 01:55 |
| darkkyokusanagi_ | thx i try this | 01:55 |
| yoyit2 | WebcamWonder: have any more info? | 01:55 |
| asdfqwer | gconf-editor is what i should use for editing an application's key-bindings, correct? | 01:55 |
| icechickenx | would it me this: VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5446 (rev 45) | 01:55 |
| tritium | icechickenx: yes | 01:55 |
| icechickenx | do a search on "Cirrus Logic" in synaptic? | 01:56 |
| WebcamWonder | asdfqwer: Lasst time I checked gedit respective gnome-binding | 01:56 |
| darkkyokusanagi_ | but i don't know because of what i have this issues now, after my fresh install i have no tearing that's all | 01:56 |
| WebcamWonder | asdfqwer: Obivously, you can have it override them | 01:56 |
| WebcamWonder | yoyit2: Hold u[p | 01:56 |
| WebcamWonder | !search ccsm | 01:57 |
| ubottu | Found: ccsm | 01:57 |
| tritium | icechickenx: hold on. Let's check it it's already being used. (It should already be installed.) Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and look for the "cirrus" driver being used. | 01:57 |

| LinuxNIT | is there a different 64bit iso for intel core 2 duos than the amd64? | 01:59 |
| jeffreyf | any issues with kernel 2.6.27-11-generic. Seems to slow the system down | 01:59 |
| tritium | LinuxNIT: no | 01:59 |
| WebcamWonder | asdfqwer: Nah, that means, that it respects if you reassign "Save" to anything else, for gnome, it would inherit those, rather than going fubar itself :) | 01:59 |
| LinuxNIT | so i use the amd64 for intel? | 01:59 |
| tritium | LinuxNIT: if you want 64-bit, yes. | 01:59 |
| asdfqwer | hrm | 01:59 |
| LinuxNIT | hmmm seems like the iso should be renamed | 01:59 |
| tritium | !amd64 | 01:59 |
| ubottu | AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 01:59 |
| WebcamWonder | yoyit2: sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager, that should give you a preferences -> Advanced Desktop settings, where you can fine tune everythin | 01:59 |
| asdfqwer | WebcamWonder, how should i go about reassigning this manually for gedit, for a short-term solution? | 02:00 |
| tritium | LinuxNIT: it should not. See the wikipedia link. | 02:00 |
| asdfqwer | oh, but i guess, from what you said, it'll reassign CTRL+S to everything else. | 02:00 |
| WebcamWonder | asdfqwer: Preferences -> Apperence. I think over there you can turn on an option that lets you edit the shortcuts from within th emenus themselves | 02:00 |
| jeffreyf | any issues with kernel 2.6.27-11-generic. Seems to slow the system down | 02:01 |
| WebcamWonder | asdfqwer: CTRL+S for the save func. across all the applicccatins that respect gnome-key-bidnings | 02:01 |

| jeffreyf | tritium: 2.6.27-9-generic is fine. 2.6.27-11-generic has choppy audio and video in games. It is otherwise fine | 02:02 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, do you know what they are? do you have a list? | 02:02 |
| WebcamWonder | !webcam | 02:03 |
| ubottu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 02:03 |
| LinuxNIT | it still seems like they should use x86_64 if it is meant for both intel and amd cpus to remove confusion, but thats just me | 02:03 |
| yoyit2 | WebcamWonder: i did that.. and theres nothing under preferences that mach what you are saying | 02:03 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, I doubt any automated help will be useful | 02:03 |
| phpstar | anyone has experience with LTSP ?? | 02:03 |
| WebcamWonder | yoyit2: System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Settings | 02:03 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, I have followed all the tutorials I can find | 02:03 |
| tritium | LinuxNIT: blame Intel for pursuing Itanium, and confusing the whole 64-bit scene | 02:03 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: Is it officially supported? | 02:04 |
| _Vi_ | !repeat | phpstar slow down a bit :) | 02:04 |
| ubottu | phpstar slow down a bit :): Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 02:04 |
| LinuxNIT | im not blaming anyone | 02:04 |
| tritium | jeffreyf: interesting. Glad I won't be affected. | 02:04 |
| phpstar | lol | 02:04 |
| h4x0r | new kernel? | 02:04 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: its the official name of the architecture, amd called it x86-64 because it was released but renamed it to amd64 by the time any chips shipped ~ 2003 | 02:04 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, sort of supported. it works by default but not with skype so i installed the jpeg hack | 02:04 |
| reduz | damn it | 02:05 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: it would be akin to renaming i386 to x86-32 since people wouldn't want to acknowledge i(ntel)386 is the origin of the architecture | 02:05 |
| jigp | hello how to allow users to view my files? | 02:05 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, I have applied the hack successfully before but that was a different version on a different kernel and a whole different ubuntu version | 02:05 |
| reduz | how comes python3.0-dbg package doesn't come with a python LIBRARY with debug symbols? this is outrageous :( | 02:05 |
| jigp | http allow all to view my files.how? | 02:05 |
| h4x0r | sharefiiiies | 02:05 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, I even wrote a guide for the ubuntu wiki | 02:05 |
| Solet | does anyone in here have an eeepc running ubuntu or eeebuntu with hibernate working? | 02:05 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams | 02:06 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: how would people know that i386 runs on things other than intel 386 cpus? ;-) | 02:06 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: they learn the architecture is implemented by many different cpus :) | 02:06 |
| illmortal | Someone please assist me... Ubuntu gets an error when I try to boot up. | 02:06 |
| phpstar | no LTSP supporter here :( | 02:06 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, I'm familiar with that but I need a list of all the modules to be loaded I think, or something like that, I dont know the troubleshooting flow for it | 02:06 |
| jeffreyf | how do I back down to 2.6.27-9-generic from 2.6.27-11-generic? | 02:06 |
| jigp | http allow all to view my files.how? | 02:06 |
| zeroshade | illmortal what error? | 02:07 |
| _Vi_ | !LAMP | jigp (for the http server question) | 02:07 |
| ubottu | jigp (for the http server question): 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+) | 02:07 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, I am somewhat well read on anything google has to hand | 02:07 |
| LinuxNIT | calc, so if you take that approach it would be a64 but anyway i dont want to ague | 02:07 |
| LinuxNIT | argue | 02:07 |
| LinuxNIT | thanks for the info | 02:07 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: the only reason any of linux uses x86-64 is really because the support for amd64 architecture was written for linux before actual chips existed | 02:07 |
| |UW| | ahh | 02:07 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: and then they didn't want to change the code of lots of apps by then | 02:07 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, http://www.rastageeks.org/ov51x-jpeg/index.php/Ov51xJpegHackedInstall#Installation_on_Ubuntu_8.10_Intrepid_Ibex didnt work | 02:07 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: intel decided to called it i386 themselves, like what amd did with their amd64 architecture | 02:07 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: amd didn't call it a64 | 02:08 |
| phixxor | when you're setting up a dual boot with XP and ubuntu, does XP have to have the first partition of the drive? Or can it boot from any partition? | 02:08 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: i was at the x86-64 launch party in aug 2000 | 02:08 |
| illmortal | it starts off with /lib/init/rw/rootdev: unexpected inconsistency. Run FSCK manually, FSCK died with exit status 4. Bash: No job control in this shell. An automatic FSCK of the root file system failed. zeroshade. | 02:08 |
| Twinkletoes|H | Installed JeOS (8.04.2) then apt-get install manpages, but the man binary is nowhere to be found. Anything else I have to do? | 02:08 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: they had suse linux running on it ~ 3 years before any cpus existed, heh | 02:08 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: You were successfully able to do all of that, including the removal and the new module installatio? | 02:09 |
| Flare183 | Twinkletoes|H: sudo apt-get install man | 02:09 |
| jeffreyf | how do I back down to 2.6.27-9-generic from 2.6.27-11-generic? | 02:09 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: and intel didn't even start making cpus for it until around 2005 iirc | 02:09 |
| Twinkletoes|H | Flare183: Thank you ;) | 02:09 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, yes but I think I rmmod'd too much | 02:09 |
| Flare183 | Twinkletoes|H: np | 02:09 |
| blacklemon67 | how do i put image data into the clipboard via command line? | 02:09 |
| jigp | how to allow user see my files on the web? | 02:09 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: yea in mid 2005 it seems the first intel with amd64 support iirc was the P4 600 series | 02:09 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, I think I might need to make sure all the right modules are loaded | 02:10 |
| tritium | Twinkletoes|H: no, manpages is the proper package name | 02:10 |
| Sir | hello, is there a channel for UNetbootin? | 02:10 |
| _Vi_ | jigp: I told you two times now | 02:10 |
| Flare183 | jigp: With apache | 02:10 |
| Twinkletoes|H | tritium: manpages didn't install the binaryk only the English man pages | 02:10 |
| Twinkletoes|H | tritium: apt-get install man did the trick | 02:10 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: As per this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=272328, you also need videodev and i2c_core (I have no idea about those ones) | 02:10 |
| Sir | how about a channel for general USB Ubuntu installing? | 02:10 |
| illmortal | zeroshade do you what that error is?... I googled it but can't find anything in regards to this problem. | 02:10 |
| asdfqwer | WebcamWonder, I'm still curious as to how this could have become unbound | 02:10 |
| tritium | Twinkletoes|H: there is no "man" package | 02:10 |
| tritium | !info man | 02:11 |
| ubottu | Package man does not exist in intrepid | 02:11 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: intel wanted to call it several different things when they finally started making chips, one of the was em64t, and there was another name, microsoft calls it x64, etc | 02:11 |
| Twinkletoes|H | tritium: There must be, it just installed | 02:11 |
| WebcamWonder | asdfqwer: I have no clue. Do you have children? :p | 02:11 |
| phixxor | when you're setting up a dual boot with XP and ubuntu, does XP have to have the first partition of the drive? Or can it boot from any partition? | 02:11 |
| ugliefrog | how do u put ascii art into the terminal....Im new to scripting and thought it would be neat to inject ascii art into the script as it was doing a command | 02:11 |
| tritium | Twinkletoes|H: there is not | 02:11 |
| asdfqwer | WebcamWonder, God no. | 02:11 |
| asdfqwer | and thank god for that | 02:11 |
| Twinkletoes|H | tritium: so whatever just installed, solved my problem | 02:11 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, I will check those | 02:11 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: but generally in the naming of architectures the maker of the architecture gets to name it, eg m68k (motorola 68000) and hppa (hp pa-risc) | 02:11 |
| Sir | what is grub error 17? | 02:12 |
| tritium | Twinkletoes|H: man is in man-db | 02:12 |
| kailash_ | hey i got this problem while i was trying to install Gsim....help me !!! | 02:12 |

| jeffreyf | how do I back down to 2.6.27-9-generic from 2.6.27-11-generic? | 02:12 |
| illmortal | Can someone assist me with this error, I don't understand it and I can't find anything on google about it: /lib/init/rw/rootdev: unexpected inconsistency. Run FSCK manually, FSCK died with exit status 4. Bash: No job control in this shell. An automatic FSCK of the root file system failed. | 02:12 |
| Sir | it would be nice if there was a UNetbootin channel | 02:12 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, no luck. webcam not found in Cheese | 02:12 |
| Twinkletoes|H | tritium: Ah - well, that's the one that installed when I type d apt-get install man anyway :) | 02:12 |
| scunizi | jeffreyf, should still be in your menu.lst that pops up on boot.. just choose it. | 02:13 |
| szrhawaii | jeffreyf manually | 02:13 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, it worked after the kernel update earlier, in cheese | 02:13 |
| tritium | Twinkletoes|H: now, that makes sense. | 02:13 |
| * calc gone to dinner | 02:13 | |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, but it showed green fuzz in skype | 02:13 |
| zeroshade | illmortal boot into the recovery shell or boot up a live cd and run fsck manually on the drive | 02:13 |
| tritium | Twinkletoes|H: just correcting what Flare183 had suggested you do. | 02:13 |
| ugliefrog | how do u put ascii art into the terminal....Im new to scripting and thought it would be neat to inject ascii art into the script as it was doing a command | 02:13 |
| jeffreyf | szrhawaii:can I just remove the newest kernel | 02:13 |
| _Vi_ | !MBR | Sir | 02:13 |
| ubottu | Sir: 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 | 02:13 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: hmm... weird. So, it seems the jpeg hack doesn't work anymore, or something else has come undone | 02:13 |
| illmortal | what's the command for fsck, zeroshade? | 02:13 |

| DrunkPikachu | can anyone tell me how I might go about having an ubuntu install within VMWare use a pre-existing home and swap partitions (installing 32 bit ubuntu in VMWare from a 64bit install)? I'm currently at the manual partition screen in VMware | 02:14 |
| kriel | Okay. I upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.10. I haven't had any issues except with Second Life so far. Since the upgrade, it almost looks like the second life textures are corrupt, however I re-downloaded the client and no issues. I'm running on a laptop with integrated intel video. | 02:14 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, if i could use gstfakevideo | 02:14 |
| zeroshade | fsck /dev/sda1 (where /dev/sda1 is the partition you want to check) | 02:14 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, I'd have to get the old kernel driver working though, the jpeg free one | 02:14 |
| ugliefrog | ok ill try that | 02:14 |
| isaak | hey does anyone know if my western drive can be detected by ubuntu? | 02:14 |
| jigp | _Vi_ Flare183 : permissions was the issue | 02:14 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: Got no clue after that. I am a hypocrite you know, I don't even own a working webcam :D | 02:14 |
| _Vi_ | !permissions | jigp (Just a wild guess ).... | 02:14 |
| ubottu | jigp (Just a wild guess )....: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 02:14 |
| calc | LinuxNIT: heh and actually i am one of the people that had debian and thus ubuntu name it amd64 :) | 02:14 |
| szrhawaii | jeffreyf you have to remove and install the old one but there might be an easier way | 02:14 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, do you know how to reinstall the kernel? | 02:14 |
| isaak | wester drive is an external hardive | 02:15 |
| kriel | isaak: do you mean western digital? If so, I'd assume yes. | 02:15 |
| _Vi_ | lol i was right | 02:15 |
| * calc was one of the original 64bit bootstrappers on Debian | 02:15 | |
| isaak | how do i get it to work? | 02:15 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder: heh | 02:15 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: You removed the previous kernel? | 02:15 |
| tritium | calc: that was a fast dinner ;) | 02:15 |
| szrhawaii | jeffreyf i mean remove the new one and install the old one | 02:15 |
| kriel | isaak: it doesn't work when you plug it in? What version of ubuntu? | 02:15 |
| isaak | i have 8.10 | 02:15 |
| tritium | isaak: by "western", do you mean "Western Digital"? | 02:15 |
| isaak | yes | 02:15 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, nope | 02:15 |
| isaak | i mean wester digital | 02:16 |
| tritium | isaak: that should work when you plug it in | 02:16 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: Then you should be able to switch kernels in grub | 02:16 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, can i tell it to upgrade again after? | 02:16 |
| isaak | how would i do that | 02:16 |
| isaak | oh it doesnt | 02:16 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, I messed it up with the old kernel too :) | 02:16 |
| isaak | detect it | 02:16 |
| kriel | isaak: under places on the top bar, there should be "computer","CD/DVD creator", and then a however many GB drive your external is. | 02:16 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, the kernel update gave it a lease of life | 02:16 |
| kriel | isaak: does it show there? | 02:16 |
| isaak | i dont see a computer | 02:17 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: I don't specifically know. You could try removing the kernel, and then reinstalling it | 02:17 |
| kailash_ | hey i got this problem while installing a GSim8085... http://pastebin.com/m4e1e9b48 ....need help!!!!!!!!!! | 02:17 |
| WebcamWonder | virianflux: This conversation has reached the critical mass of my knowledge of linux :P | 02:17 |
| _Vi_ | jigp: The easiest way to get LAMP working , is installing Ubuntu Server Edition, and slap a light weight window manger on it like fluxbox... For some reason it seems to set LAMP up better , theres no need for a bunch of tweeking the configs and what not... Anyways what would it hurt to try it? | 02:17 |
| WebcamWonder | Has anyone worked with LVPM? Is it stable enough? | 02:18 |
| isaak | kriel , it doesnt show | 02:18 |
| kriel | isaak: on the top bar, there should be a menu called places. Click that. Underneath that, there should be entries named "computer" and "cd/dvd creator". Do you see those? | 02:18 |
| asdfqwer | WebcamWonder, I'm still at a loss to fix this key-binding. | 02:18 |
| === rachel is now known as Guest40364 | ||
| isaak | yes i do | 02:18 |
| phixxor | when you're setting up a dual boot with XP and ubuntu, does XP have to have the first partition of the drive? Or can it boot from any partition? | 02:18 |
| jigp | _Vi_ I use sqlite | 02:18 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, silly of me, I'll go back in grub and remove the latest version and then do another upgrade! | 02:18 |
| virianflux | WebcamWonder, thanks! :) | 02:18 |
| kriel | isaak: is there anything underneath that? | 02:18 |
| isaak | but its not showing up | 02:18 |

| nicois | hi everyone. Can someone help me with some installer/boot problems I'm having? I can't run the ubuntu 8.10 installed on my benq laptop. Keeps freezing during boot-up from the live CD | 02:19 |
| szrhawaii | how many have done it already | 02:19 |
| Cpudan80 | phixxor: Does it have to be? No - but it really does prefer it | 02:19 |
| kriel | Okay. I upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.10. I haven't had any issues except with Second Life so far. Since the upgrade, it almost looks like the second life textures are corrupt, however I re-downloaded the client and no issues. I'm running on a laptop with integrated intel video.

| UnderSampled | is there a channel for UNetbootin? | 02:21 |
| Cpudan80 | phixxor: By default it wants to install to the first primary partition it finds - it might screw up the drive lettering otherwise | 02:21 |
| kriel | isaak: You say this is a laptop, and you've got a USB stick and an external harddrive plugged in? | 02:21 |
| isaak | yes | 02:21 |
| phixxor | Cpudan80: oh ok, I installed it on the first primary partition. but I have an extended partition that comes before it | 02:21 |
| UnderSampled | what is grub error 17? | 02:21 |
| isaak | kriel, so ya i did wat u told me but what now? | 02:21 |
| kriel | isaak: okay. tell me all the entires in that that don't have a number after them. like, on mine there's sda and sdb. | 02:22 |
| UnderSampled | is there a channel for finding channels? | 02:22 |
| isaak | kriel, there is sda and sdb | 02:22 |
| kriel | isaak: nothing else? | 02:22 |
| isaak | kriel, yes nothing else | 02:22 |
| UnderSampled | would this be the channel for finding the channel for finding channels? | 02:22 |
| phixxor | UnderSampled: tried google? I don't know what it is | 02:22 |
| UnderSampled | phixxor: I am trying to find an irc channel with someone who knows about UNetbootin | 02:23 |
| kriel | isaak: okay. Either your hard drive is defective or there's something seriously wrong with your ubuntu installation. Make sure all the cables are tight, make sure the external hard drive is turned on and powered up, etc. | 02:23 |
| icechickenx | tritium, r u there? | 02:23 |

| _Vi_ | UnderSampled: searchirc.com is a IRC search engine try that | 02:24 |
| kriel | isaak: maybe try a different usb port or plugging it into another computer and seeing if it works there. | 02:24 |
| tritium | icechickenx: yes | 02:24 |
| phixxor | UnderSampled: Well if anybody knows about it they'll most likely be here or in ##windows | 02:24 |
| phixxor | UnderSampled: if it is a windows program | 02:24 |
| virianflux | UnderSampled, phixxor unetbootin? | 02:24 |
| icechickenx | reinstalling graphics driver didn't help with resolution | 02:24 |
| phixxor | virianflux: I haven't ever used it, but undersampled wants to/is | 02:24 |
| virianflux | unetbootin can be unreliable but it has saved my ass before | 02:24 |
| yoyit2 | does ANYONE have a clue how to get my mp4 codecs to work again? | 02:24 |
| isaak | k let me try that kriel | 02:24 |
| tritium | icechickenx: you never answered my previous question. I never would have recommended reinstalling the driver. | 02:24 |
| yoyit2 | they dont even work in vlc player | 02:24 |
| virianflux | unetbootin can save your life | 02:24 |
| UnderSampled | virianflux: well, I think it just killed my windows install | 02:24 |
| virianflux | UnderSampled, is that bad? | 02:25 |
| Cpudan80 | phixxor: thats fine | 02:25 |
| icechickenx | opps...i must have missed your previous question, repost please | 02:25 |
| isaak | kriel, it said automated start for this device has been denied | 02:25 |

| linux_guy | isaak, you dont need it | 02:27 |
| isaak | is linux so invincible? | 02:27 |
| phixxor | Alright, do I need to manually add the windows boot entry to grub, or should I let grub do it automatically somehow? | 02:27 |
| szrhawaii | or restart and press esc and pick your other version at boot | 02:27 |
| icechickenx | tritium, I must have missed your orig. question please repost | 02:27 |
| disappearedng | szrhawaii: what are you talking abou t | 02:27 |
| scunizi | DrunkPikachu, ok.. I'm confused.. you're running ubuntu and have vmware installed and are installing another version of ubuntu?? and wondering about reusing the /home and swap from a prevoius vm install? | 02:27 |
| isaak | so its like a macintosh | 02:27 |
| _Vi_ | !virus | 02:27 |
| ubottu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 02:27 |
| _Vi_ | isaak: kinda | 02:27 |
| tritium | icechickenx: it's too far up in my history | 02:27 |
| szrhawaii | why fix a wireless issue if you didnt have in before the update | 02:27 |
| disappearedng | szrhawaii: what are you talking about | 02:28 |
| joteu | phixxor-> that menu.lst file has a sample entries commented out | 02:28 |
| szrhawaii | you said you did the update now your wireless isnt working | 02:28 |
| icechickenx | hmmm....where did we leave off? I listed my graphics card...then....? | 02:28 |
| linux_guy | isaak, linux and windows just have fundamental differences. It's what makes linux so great IMO | 02:28 |
| virianflux | UnderSampled, I think that can happen when you have an existing install | 02:28 |
| DrunkPikachu | scunizi: almost, I need access to a smaller 32 bit install (unsupported software issues) and was wondering if the vmware install can use the host's home and swap partitions | 02:28 |
| tritium | szrhawaii: he doesn't have to uninstall it. | 02:28 |
| virianflux | UnderSampled, do you have a spare USB that is blank? | 02:28 |
| szrhawaii | he can fix the problem then | 02:29 |
| tritium | disappearedng: before you remove anything, please boot into the previous kernel, and see if it works again | 02:29 |
| phixxor | joteu: alright, I'll use that one then. Just making sure there's no command i'm suppost to run to update grub so it sees windows | 02:29 |
| tritium | szrhawaii: let's be smarter about it | 02:29 |
| virianflux | UnderSampled, you could probably just zero the whole thing with DD | 02:29 |
| szrhawaii | seems like the new kernel isnt working for most people | 02:29 |
| scunizi | DrunkPikachu, don't see why not.. but then I've never tried that.. | 02:29 |
| tritium | disappearedng: if it doesn't work in the old kernel, the upgrade was not the cause | 02:29 |
| phpmonk | is firestarter a good firewall? | 02:30 |
| tritium | szrhawaii: no, seems like only a few are having specific issues | 02:30 |
| szrhawaii | well i havent had one yet | 02:30 |
| linux_guy | how do i set up 'bluez-cups' for bluetooth printing? | 02:30 |
| UnderSampled | virianflux: what is DD? | 02:30 |
| DrunkPikachu | scunizi: ah, alright then. I would've thought I could, but I don't know where to start. I've installed it once without problem, but with it's own encapsulated home | 02:30 |
| icechickenx | also, I was searching for Cirrus Logic GD 5446 (rev 45) in synaptic | 02:30 |
| virianflux | UnderSampled, dd is a scary command that stands for direct data, I think | 02:30 |
| szrhawaii | so i guess im one of the few that dont | 02:30 |
| tritium | !who | icechickenx (In case you're talking to me, I've not noticed.) | 02:30 |

| _Vi_ | phpmonk: its basically just a graphical front end to ip tables | 02:31 |
| linux_guy | DD could be good in other context =P | 02:31 |
| UnderSampled | virianflux: the problem probably happened during the creation of the drive, not during installation | 02:31 |
| _Vi_ | !Firewall | phpmonk | 02:31 |
| phpmonk | _Vi_: oh, so underhood it maintains ip table based firewall? | 02:31 |
| ubottu | phpmonk: 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). | 02:31 |
| asdfqwer | here's something i just learned | 02:31 |
| _Vi_ | phpmonk: ubottu just answered you :) | 02:31 |

| zeroshade | h4x0r all modern intel processors are 64 bit processors that can run 64 bit OS's and all amd 64 processors can run 32 bit. Please stop. | 02:55 |
| tritium | h4x0r: you can most certainly run amd64 on intel, and must do so if you want 64-bit | 02:55 |
| isaak | but i dont know how to update it | 02:55 |
| h4x0r | ubuntu have to versions for intel and amd | 02:55 |
| Gustavo_G | when I installed ubuntu, did it prompt me for a usename and password? I can't recall. what is the default, root/root ? | 02:56 |
| h4x0r | do you guys dont know that> | 02:56 |
| bazhang | h4x0r, you are mistaken | 02:56 |
| thoth | eh .... was the "don't use rpm" an answer to my question ... I think I am not used to IRC since this is also my first time | 02:56 |
| tritium | h4x0r: you are quite mistaken | 02:56 |
| thoth | lots of chat here ... | 02:56 |
| szrhawaii | aint someone on a little powertrip | 02:56 |
| zeroshade | h4x0r amd64 is just the name of the architecture. Intel chips can run that architecture. | 02:56 |

| h4x0r | did you try | 02:58 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | linuxNIT: sorry if this is a noob question, i'm new to ubuntu, but is there an easy way to upgrade to ibex without having to do a fresh install? | 02:58 |

| sivel | ive got a massive prob. i wiped my xp off of the dual boot, and now i cant reinstall grub to boot into ubu. | 02:59 |

| Prabz | HI, I'm trying to compile wine, it requires an nvidia-glx-dev,,, some command to know which nvidia version is currently installed? there are loads of nvidia-glx-dev.. | 03:01 |
| zeroshade | dpkg -l | grep nvidia-glx-dev | 03:02 |
| Solet | how can i tell if my machine is using vesafb? | 03:02 |
| Prabz | thanks zeroshade | 03:02 |
| rdw200169 | Prabz, are you aware that wine has a repository for ubuntu that has the latest versions? | 03:02 |
| zeroshade | Prabz: no problem | 03:02 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | eff...linuxNIT: i have 2.6.24, so my kernel does not have native support, correct? | 03:02 |
| zeroshade | Prabz, unless you have a specific reason for compiling wine, just install it from the repositories | 03:02 |
| LinuxNIT | ineedubuntuhelp, correct | 03:02 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | much obliged | 03:03 |
| faust7 | rdw200169, linuxman410 and everybody else.... :P Thanks... So I am running Ubuntu 8.10 and my wife's condition for installing it on her laptop was that it should allow us to print through the network. I have a Samsung printer connected to my desktop computer (Vista). and I am having problems installing it on Ubuntu (on the laptop connected through by wire to the router). | 03:03 |
| Prabz | rdw200169, I know, but still, openGl isn't being enabled when i try to compile it from source | 03:03 |
| LinuxNIT | ineedubuntuhelp, this might be of help since nobody else is suggesting anything | 03:03 |
| LinuxNIT | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 03:03 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | i will figure out how to get that on there, rather than figuring out how to install the driver propertly | 03:03 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | thank you | 03:03 |
| LinuxNIT | youre welcome | 03:03 |
| Prabz | zeroshade, I'm trying to do a regression test, that's why I need to compile wine from git | 03:03 |
| faust7 | I did make sure that the printer was indeed shared on the Vista box.. in fact, I have already connected to it many times from other computers connected on the Windows Network... but this time around, Ubuntu seems to be unable to detect it, no matter what I do | 03:03 |
| rdw200169 | Prabz, http://www.winehq.org/download/deb | 03:03 |
| zeroshade | Prabz: okie dokie | 03:04 |
| LinuxNIT | good luck ineedubuntuhelp | 03:04 |
| Prabz | rdw200169, I'm trying to do a regression test, that's why I need to compile wine from git | 03:04 |
| rdw200169 | Prabz, ahh, nevermind, just trying to save you some time ;) | 03:04 |
| faust7 | So it is an area you guys are familiar with? :P | 03:04 |
| zeroshade | faust7: whats the issue? i know that using the built in printer software i was able to select the computer and choose the printer connected to it. but it was using XP so i don't know if vista might have a problem | 03:05 |
| rdw200169 | Prabz, you could take a shot with the repo anyway to get the source + .diff for ubuntu compilation stuff; that, and you could build-dep against the wine repo | 03:05 |
| isaak | anyone know if gimp can scan | 03:05 |
| sivel | woops, sorry about that, laptop died | 03:05 |
| Prabz | zeroshade, I still get all the versions available .. How to know which one of them is currently installed on my system?? | 03:05 |
| isaak | anyone know if u can scan on GIMP? | 03:05 |
| ari_stress | isaak: yessss | 03:05 |
| tritium | ineedubuntuhelp: I asked you what the issue was, but never saw a reply | 03:05 |
| vladVD | hello | 03:06 |
| isaak | ari_stress, pleaase elaborate | 03:06 |
| zeroshade | Prabz: that command i gave you only shows you whats installed on your system | 03:06 |
| === tisme is now known as willthisdoat42 | ||
| faust7 | zeroshade, well the issue is that I go in the menu for printers, and I choose samba and I see the Windows Network and the other computer (desktop on vista), yet I am unable to select the printer (it doesn'T show). any idea what to do? | 03:06 |
| zeroshade | Prabz: dpkg -l lists the currently installed packages, | grep nvidia-glx-dev just showed you all entries containing that text. | 03:06 |
| sivel | the way i had it booting was primary hdd had the boot loader and windows, and the a usb-hdd had ubuntu. im in the livecd now, but i dont know where to go from here to reinstall grub soley on the usb hdd | 03:06 |
| musikgoat|main | so, any one know how to reference devices to grub disks? as in hd0 could be /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1 and i need to figure out which in grub | 03:06 |
| ari_stress | isaak: File > Create > Xsane | 03:06 |
| tritium | Prabz: you should only have a few nvidia-glx-* packages | 03:07 |
| Prabz | tritium, still, I need to know which one of them is installed | 03:07 |
| isaak | ari_stress, ok lets say i have a printer that is also a scanner how would that work | 03:07 |
| isaak | ari_stress, how would i install it? | 03:08 |
| zeroshade | Prabz: anything that showed up from dpkg -l is currently installed. | 03:08 |
| tritium | Prabz: as zeroshade told you, dpkg -l | grep nvidia-glx will tell you | 03:08 |
| LinuxNIT | sivel, man grub-install | 03:08 |
| ari_stress | isaak: depends whether ubuntu recognizes it | 03:08 |
| isaak | ari_stress, it already recognizes the printer model | 03:08 |
| sivel | ok | 03:08 |
| sivel | will try | 03:08 |
| isaak | ari_stress, but not the scanning function | 03:08 |
| Prabz | how can all of the drivers 173, 177, 179 .. can all be installed???? | 03:08 |
| zeroshade | faust7: how is the printer connected ot the computer? usb? parallel | 03:08 |
| faust7 | zeroshade, USB | 03:08 |
| zeroshade | Prabz: they're installed, you just have settings to tell it what you're using at the moment which will match whatever hte current version of the driver you're using. | 03:09 |
| faust7 | DIrectly into the desktop, that is | 03:09 |
| b52wrangler | good evening, anyone here who can offer help with a problem encountered during an ibex install on a toshiba satellite | 03:09 |
| tritium | Prabz: why not? I have 177 and 180 installed currently | 03:09 |
| faust7 | (vista box) | 03:09 |
| Prabz | tritium, ohk.. So any command to know which one is currently in use? | 03:09 |
| sivel | ok, well im not sure which drive/dir to do | 03:09 |
| zeroshade | faust7: hmmm, i don't know. I have that exact setup at home and selecting the computer over the network showed me my printer. The only difference was my desktop was XP. | 03:10 |
| zeroshade | faust7: sorry, wish i knew more on that. | 03:10 |
| sivel | when i df, the usb drive is /dev/sdb mounted to /media/disk | 03:10 |
| tritium | Prabz: hold, please | 03:11 |
| sivel | so am i to do grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk/root /dev/sdb1? | 03:12 |
| andymac | My network has always worked fine, its a wired connection, the nic is fine etc. However i havent had internet in a few weeks, and i just went to plug it in and ubuntu doesnt really seem to care. It says Wired Connection on the network manager app, but doesnt make any notifications or changes when i plug in the cable. And I always get address not found when i try to browse. Any ideas? | 03:12 |
| b52wrangler | ibex installed fine on toshiba satellite and now it works for about a minute and then shuts down uncommanded | 03:12 |
| Booge | andymac, does the link light come on | 03:13 |
| andymac | the light on the nic does, but nothing changed with the icon in ubuntu | 03:13 |
| Booge | dhcp? | 03:14 |
| andymac | I tried changing it to DHCP from roaming, and back again. No changes. | 03:14 |
| b52wrangler | how does ubuntu differentiate between routers with the same ESSID? | 03:15 |
| andymac | it lists Wired Connection in gray when i click on the icon. | 03:15 |
| b52wrangler | andymac: did you click unlock? | 03:15 |
| tritium | Prabz: please run "file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so" | 03:15 |
| w33d5 | b52wrangler: i'm no expert but i would think by MAC address | 03:16 |
| Booge | does ifconfig list an ip under the interface? | 03:16 |
| tritium | Prabz: that should be a symbolic link to another file that includes the version number. | 03:16 |
| andymac | one second ill check | 03:16 |
| zeroshade | b52wrangler: if you run iwlist interfacename scan you should see the same list of essid's you'll see in the network manager, however now you'll see more info about it. | 03:16 |
| zeroshade | including the mac addresses | 03:17 |
| b52wrangler | w33d5: just curious, i had a conflict here in my neighborhood where another linksys box popped up which was secured whereas mine was not, it always tried to access the secured box | 03:17 |
| andymac | b52wrangler, no it doesnt. | 03:17 |
| andymac | it has eth0 and lo. eth0 has no ip listed, lo has 127.0.0.1 | 03:17 |
| Booge | type dhclient eth0 | 03:17 |
| === ein_ is now known as Guest12002 | ||
| Booge | but that will only work if you have a dhcp server enabled on your router or a server on the nw. otherwise, you'll have to manually set the ip and mask | 03:18 |
| faust7 | zeroshade, could be a problem with Vista... I guess I'll have to find a way around it. Thanks for trying though :) | 03:19 |
| b52wrangler | different issue here, talked brother into loading ibex on his windoze laptop, installed fine but now he boots, surfs web for about a minute, then the laptop shuts down uncommanded...thoughts? | 03:19 |

| sileni | and it installed around 693 mb worth of software | 03:20 |

| andymac | Booge, i dont have hwinfo installed :/ | 03:22 |
| bazhang | sileni, that is the command to remove kde | 03:22 |
| zeroshade | sileni: do you have any programs that you use in gnome that use them? | 03:22 |
| bazhang | sileni, wise is your choice/option | 03:23 |
| sileni | zeroshade: none so far, if i need them later i can install again right? | 03:23 |
| Booge | andymac, does dmesg list any errors for eth0? | 03:23 |
| zeroshade | sileni: correct =) if you have no programs that rely on those libraries then there's no problem with removing them worst case scenario you end up reinstalling something. oh no, apt-get install something =P | 03:23 |
| sivel | anyone ? | 03:23 |
| ein__ | hy | 03:24 |

| ein__ | anyone ? | 03:24 |
| b52wrangler | hello ein | 03:24 |
| tritium6 | I'm installing a second nic in my PC, but I don't have a monitor. I've done the physical install, so now I need to do whatever config needs to be done before a reboot. What do I need to do for config so that I can powerdown, switch the ethernet cable, reboot, and be up and running on the new interface? | 03:25 |
| Booge | andymac, are you plugging the nic into a switch or router? are you sure the cable isn't a crossover? | 03:25 |
| subinacls | tritium6, you say no monitor, as in not configed properly and it fails, or headless system | 03:25 |
| ein__ | hy 2 b52wrangler... | 03:25 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: Headless system | 03:25 |
| subinacls | thats a bit more specific :) | 03:26 |
| sileni | zeroshade: have you tried the new kde 4.1? | 03:26 |
| tritium6 | Sorry, didn't consider that interpretation | 03:26 |
| subinacls | never know sometimes :) | 03:26 |
| subinacls | so your trying to drop in a new nic ? | 03:26 |
| tsuna27 | i cannot get ubuntu on my sony viao laptop | 03:26 |
| subinacls | is that interface configured dhcp or static info | 03:27 |
| andymac | router. and im actually using a cat5 cable that comes with a ps3, so i guess ill try another cable, but ive used the cable to plug the ps3 into the router so i would assume its good to go. | 03:27 |
| tritium6 | Yes, I've got an intel pci-e gigabit that I want to use over the mobo nic. | 03:27 |
| zeroshade | sileni: i've never liked the way kde looks personally. so i haven't tried kde 4.1. | 03:27 |
| tritium6 | DHCP | 03:27 |
| sileni | zeroshade: hehe | 03:27 |
| subinacls | you should be able to just power off the system | 03:27 |
| _Vi_ | what does tritium mean anyways? sounds kinda like TITANIUM | 03:27 |
| subinacls | place it in | 03:27 |
| subinacls | and boot | 03:27 |
| wastrel | kde4 is quite different looking than kde3 | 03:27 |
| Booge | andymac, it should work then. try powering the computer off. wait a couple minutes, then turn it back on. | 03:27 |
| wastrel | tritium is an element | 03:27 |
| subinacls | if the hardware is already compliant | 03:27 |
| _Vi_ | ah | 03:27 |
| sileni | wastrel: i don't like the change | 03:27 |
| tritium | _Vi_: it's an isotope of Hydrogen | 03:27 |
| _Vi_ | nice name | 03:27 |
| subinacls | it will act just as the other interface | 03:27 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: Hmm... tried that but was not able to ssh in afterward | 03:28 |
| sileni | wastrel: :-\ having to learn all over again, i hate it | 03:28 |
| wastrel | i fail at chem | 03:28 |
| Booge | andymac, thats the only true way to reset the nic | 03:28 |
| tritium6 | I don't know why I couldn't get in. I don't know if there are log files that might help. | 03:28 |
| subinacls | this is a good reason to have 2 interfaces | 03:28 |
| _Vi_ | wastrel: at least you knew that it was an element | 03:28 |
| subinacls | a multihomed system to be exact | 03:28 |
| subinacls | this allows you to have a admin interface that could allow ssh and other rcommands or whatever to be launched on this terminal | 03:29 |

| subinacls | tritium6, you follow what i am saying ? | 03:30 |
| tritium6 | Are you saying I should run another cable and use both interfaces at once? | 03:31 |

| tritium6 | how do i do that? | 03:32 |
| subinacls | you have a term open ? | 03:32 |
| andymac | dhclient just goes right back to DHCPDISCOVER. I don't think its router related, I have 2 other computers plugged into it and using it.

| wastrel | normal | 03:34 |
| subinacls | davis, is it plugged in | 03:35 |
| zeroshade | jjt009: under buddies, there is a "join a chat" option. if you enter a roomname that doesn't exist it creates one for you. | 03:35 |
| Booge | andymac, does the switch link light come up? | 03:35 |
| therootest | zeroshade: /home/therootest/stilldownloading is the folder. How can i have NO writing-priviledges there? I am the user therootest. | 03:35 |
| davis | yes | 03:35 |

| tsrk | I managed to get the new kernel installed without adding it to my grub loader, how would I go about adding it to grub? | 03:36 |
| therootest | zeroshade: ok! solved! | 03:36 |
| tritium6 | oh, stupid me | 03:36 |
| bz0b | hello everyone | 03:36 |
| Booge | andymac, the light on the switch that your plugging the cable into from the nic | 03:36 |
| zeroshade | therootest: was it permissions? | 03:36 |
| andymac | yup | 03:36 |
| andymac | lights up on the router np. | 03:36 |
| tritium6 | subinacls, how do i set the interface to use dhcp? | 03:36 |
| therootest | zeroshade: no, it was that i configured ktorrent to write there... but there was no folder :) so, i created the folder and tada! its ok. | 03:36 |
| jjt009 | zeroshade: do you know what i should put as the server for gtalk? | 03:36 |
| subinacls | thats the fun of linux | 03:37 |
| subinacls | first type "man dhclient" | 03:37 |
| subinacls | or tell me what dhcp you use | 03:37 |
| zeroshade | therootest: ah. the folder didn't exist :) lol that shoulda been my first guess =P | 03:37 |
| Booge | andymac, does ifconfig eth0 list the link as up? try ifconfig eth0 down then ifconfig eth0 up | 03:37 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: "what dhcp you use" - I don't know what that means! | 03:37 |
| rods | I am trying to install Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (picked it up a little earlier--looks interesting). However, I cannot access CD #1--I get a permissions denied error. How to I overcome this? | 03:38 |
| phpmonk | I want to start a server on port 80, but i am not root, what can be done? | 03:38 |
| jjt009 | zeroshade: do you know the general format of the server? | 03:38 |
| tsuna27 | cant get ubuntu on my sony laptop i tried a live cd and wubi | 03:38 |
| therootest | zeroshade: i want to configure the ktorrent to automatically prompt me to download a torrent when downloaded from firefox. Can you help? | 03:38 |
| zeroshade | jjt009: hmm. i've never done it with gtalk, google it. or try to create a chat in gtalk and see if it has a server someone. | 03:38 |
| Booge | andymac, you can also try manually setting an ip. >ifconfig eth0 a.b.c.d mask f.f.f.f up | 03:38 |
| bazhang | tsuna27, what about the alternate cd | 03:39 |
| phorensic | tsuna27: forget wubi.. whats the issue with the cd? | 03:39 |
| andymac | Booge, something has changed since the last time i ran ifconfig. i did the up and down thing, and now i get eth0:avah1 listed. and it has an ip too. | 03:39 |
| prufrocks | when you enable remote desktop sharing in System Preferences, where does it actually store the config settings that you've set? | 03:39 |
| bz0b | does anyone now how to install wifi drivers for macbook 3,1 (bcm4328 chipset) preferrably native drivers | 03:39 |
| andymac | and so does eth0. they have an ip now | 03:39 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: i think i need to set up dhclient to use the new eth2 on boot, because if i run it now it will just fail | 03:39 |
| Booge | andymac, is it a 169 address? | 03:39 |
| bazhang | tsuna27, you should also md5 the iso, burn slowly and do the disk integrity check | 03:39 |
| andymac | yup | 03:39 |
| rods | If anyone knows how to fix this: I am trying to install Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (picked it up a little earlier--looks interesting). However, I cannot access CD #1--I get a permissions denied error. How to I overcome this? | 03:39 |
| zeroshade | therootest: the next time you download a torrent from firefox, choose to open it instead of save, and choose ktorrent (probably in /usr/bin) it should learn and show this as your default "open" application | 03:39 |
| Booge | andatche, ifconfig eth0:avahi down | 03:39 |
| subinacls | tritium6, kinda the idea. you can issue the dhclient command and use | 03:40 |
| zeroshade | therootest: at least thats what i did with deluge, so now when i download i just choose to open it with deluge =) | 03:40 |
| bz0b | Anyone know where to find bcm4328 drivers for ubuntu? | 03:40 |
| subinacls | dhclient eth1(or what ever interface to request DHCP info) | 03:40 |
| subinacls | and that will not make it fail | 03:40 |
| therootest | thnx | 03:40 |
| bazhang | !broadcom | bz0b | 03:40 |
| ubottu | bz0b: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 03:40 |
| zeroshade | np =P | 03:40 |
| HorizonXP | if i need to remove PDO from PHP, should I bother with recompiling the debian package, or just install PHP from source? | 03:40 |
| subinacls | it however might get a different IP address from the router or dhcp server you have configures | 03:40 |
| tsuna27 | phorensic: it loads and then after the install it just freezes | 03:41 |
| tritium6 | well now its running interactively | 03:41 |
| bazhang | tsuna27, sounds like a bad burn or a corrupt iso | 03:41 |
| phpmonk | HorizonXP: PDO is part of PHP | 03:41 |
| Hector__ | I'll just go lose The Game over here. | 03:41 |
| phorensic | tsuna27: Did you try the alternate cd install? | 03:41 |
| bz0b | thanks bazhang | 03:41 |
| HorizonXP | phpmonk: yeah, but I want to remove it from the .deb, so that I can install it through PECL. | 03:41 |
| tsuna27 | phorensic: what is that | 03:41 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: no DHCP offers received | 03:41 |
| andymac | Booge, k eth0 and lo are the only ones there now. eth0 only has a inet6 address listed, no inet addr. And still cant resolve any addresses. | 03:41 |
| sileni | hmm, i followed the commands that remove kde packages from my computer but even then when i restart the splash screen is still saying kubuntu | 03:41 |
| rods | Anyone know why accesssing a cd would be denied under permissions? Anyway around that? | 03:42 |
| HorizonXP | phpmonk: PDO_Informix won't work with the PDO that's built-in to Ubuntu's PHP | 03:42 |
| tsuna27 | phorensic: when is the next ubuntu version coming out | 03:42 |
| phorensic | tsuna27: it is a more text based installer to install ubuntu where the more graphical version resists on certain pc's | 03:42 |
| OsamaK | Hello, I read many stuffs on offline-installation, most of them are bit hard. I need to download some packages to use them on offline computers. Let's say, openoffice,amarok. What's the best way? | 03:42 |
| === justin__ is now known as jsmith | ||
| Booge | andymac, did you try to manually assign an ip that's on your networks subnet? | 03:42 |
| phorensic | tsuna27: I think 4 months or so i haven't looked recently | 03:42 |
| phpmonk | HorizonXP: talk in php channel plz ,i guess the topic not suitable here | 03:42 |
| phorensic | tsuna27: you have a lto of options to get the install to work | 03:42 |
| coreyo | using intrepid. Is there a way that I can set up a vpn connection (network-manager) so that only requests with a destination of 192.168.1.* will utilize the vpn? | 03:42 |
| bazhang | tsuna27, april 2009 discussion in #ubuntu+1 | 03:42 |
| phorensic | tsuna27: but the alternate should work where the regular one fails.. hell you could even try a server install and then install the desktop packages | 03:43 |
| subinacls | tritium6, whats you OS? | 03:43 |
| sileni | !KDE-packages | 03:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about KDE-packages | 03:43 |
| isaak | hey how do u enable compiz fusion on 8.10 | 03:43 |
| sileni | !KDE | 03:43 |
| ubottu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 | 03:43 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: my suggestion would be to do a fake install on an online machine to know what dependent files are needed, the -d command will download but not install | 03:43 |
| Booge | andymac, has this ever worked? | 03:43 |
| bazhang | isaak, install ccsm | 03:43 |
| zeroshade | !puregnome | sileni | 03:43 |
| ubottu | sileni: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » | 03:43 |
| HorizonXP | phpmonk: #php or #ubuntu-php? | 03:44 |
| bazhang | !ccsm | 03:44 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 03:44 |
| zeroshade | =P | 03:44 |
| sileni | zeroshade: i did that and it still has kubuntu | 03:44 |
| jjt009 | does anybody here know what the gtalk server is? | 03:44 |
| OsamaK | musikgoat|main, can you show me an example on openoffice? | 03:44 |
| sileni | zeroshade: the splashscreen atleast | 03:44 |
| phpmonk | HorizonXP: #php | 03:44 |
| OsamaK | musikgoat|main, what's the correct command | 03:44 |
| HorizonXP | phpmonk: i'm in there now :) | 03:44 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: Ubuntu | 03:44 |
| andymac | Booge, I've never done that before, so no. I just checked the network manager and wired connection is now enabled, and selected. Still cant resolve the ip though, but at least we're getting somewhere. ill try dhclient now., maybe thats the missing piece of the puzzle. | 03:44 |
| isaak | anyone use compiz fusion ?? before? | 03:44 |
| phpmonk | HorizonXP: ask ur question in room | 03:44 |
| andymac | Booge, yeah its worked plenty of times before. | 03:44 |
| rods | jjt009: pigden probably has it | 03:44 |
| bazhang | isaak, certainly | 03:45 |
| isaak | is it worth getting | 03:45 |
| Booge | andymac, dhclient eth0 | 03:45 |
| zeroshade | sileni: one sec | 03:45 |
| phorensic | zelrikriando: HEY DUDE! | 03:45 |
| * subinacls slaps /myself | 03:45 | |
| bazhang | isaak, a matter of opinion | 03:45 |
| subinacls | i should have figured ! | 03:45 |
| isaak | bazhang, do u still have it? | 03:45 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: I just switched the cable back but my router isnt getting any new dhcp requests | 03:45 |
| zelrikriando | phorensic, yes? | 03:45 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: sudo apt-get install -d openoffice.org | 03:45 |
| subinacls | this is a ubunut chat | 03:45 |
| bazhang | isaak, yes | 03:45 |
| OsamaK | Another issue, is it OK to remove old kernel versions, I have -7,-9,-11 | 03:45 |
| phorensic | zelrikriando: You dont remember me.. | 03:45 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: :) | 03:45 |
| isaak | bazhang, did it mess anything up? | 03:45 |
| phpmonk | I have root access to a system but I want to start a server on port 80 as another user, what can be done? | 03:45 |
| andymac | still no offers :( | 03:45 |
| zelrikriando | phorensic, well... | 03:45 |
| ari_stress | isaak: why so strange? of course we use compiz fusion in 8.10 | 03:45 |
| andymac | ugh, this feels so close now, what could be missing lol | 03:46 |
| isaak | ari_stress, but it said it might mess up ur system | 03:46 |
| zelrikriando | phorensic, maybe, I have talked to many people online | 03:46 |
| subinacls | tritium6, whats you fav editor | 03:46 |
| Booge | andymac, does your network have ip's in the 192.168.1.0 network? ex 192.168.1.15 | 03:46 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: yes, most commonly you want to leave at least one fall back in case there is a problem with the latest | 03:46 |
| subinacls | i assume vi ? | 03:46 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: yep | 03:46 |
| derrty | I love Ubuntu | 03:46 |
| phorensic | zelrikriando: hmm I might have used a different name .. but we used to talk a bunch | 03:46 |
| anonyman | hey phpmonkey, just run the httpd service with sudo | 03:47 |
| subinacls | ight | 03:47 |
| anonyman | *phpmonk | 03:47 |
| zeroshade | sileni: apt-get remove kubuntu-artwork-usplash | 03:47 |
| ari_stress | isaak: who said that? the license agreement? | 03:47 |
| therootest | zeroshade: one last question. how can i add the compiz cube to my desktop? | 03:47 |
| subinacls | edit /etc/network/interfaces | 03:47 |
| coreyo | using intrepid. Is there a way that I can set up a vpn connection (network-manager) so that only requests with a destination of 192.168.1.* will utilize the vpn? | 03:47 |
| sileni | zeroshade: oo thanks | 03:47 |
| phorensic | zelrikriando: it could have been soulstice | 03:47 |
| subinacls | add this : | 03:47 |
| subinacls | auto eth2 | 03:47 |
| subinacls | iface eth2 inet dhcp | 03:47 |
| zeroshade | therootest: do you have compiz running? if so, do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? | 03:47 |
| derrty | root after u add the CSSm you will have the option | 03:48 |
| subinacls | that interface should be the one you mentioned earlier | 03:48 |
| derrty | but only if your grapics card can handle it | 03:48 |
| isaak | ok my next quest is if i installed xp first and then ubuntu can i just delete xp? and how would i do that | 03:48 |
| zelrikriando | phorensic, not sure... but I do know that nobody use my pseudo | 03:48 |
| phorensic | I know, Im saying i used to use soulstice and phorensic | 03:48 |
| isaak | someone please answer my question | 03:48 |
| therootest | zeroshade: i open the compiz manager and there are no plugins or anything at all! | 03:49 |
| derrty | Isaak so you don t want xp on ur computer at all | 03:49 |
| Booge | andymac, paste the output of dmesg to a pastebin | 03:49 |
| phorensic | zelrikriando: I helped you with some issues you had a while ago | 03:49 |
| subinacls | tritium6, hoghlight me after your finished | 03:49 |
| rods | What would keep me from being able to open a disc, or to get a permission denied error when I attempt to open the directory (i.e. command "cd /media/cdrom0" returns "permission denied prompt") | 03:49 |
| isaak | yes i dont | 03:49 |
| isaak | or should i keep it | 03:49 |
| zelrikriando | phorensic, it s possible, I had lots of issues | 03:49 |
| isaak | cuz i can't go online on there | 03:49 |
| zeroshade | therootest: apt-get install compiz-plugins | 03:49 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: ok, now do i need to reboot? | 03:49 |
| derrty | it all depends I dual boot into windows sometimes when i want to play games | 03:49 |
| sileni | rods, youve ls to see if you have the correct permissions? | 03:49 |
| phorensic | zelrikriando: What you been up to? | 03:50 |
| zeroshade | therootest: and if you want more, sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-main | 03:50 |
| derrty | that's all windows is good for to me | 03:50 |
| phpmonk | what will be uid of command after sudo "command" | 03:50 |
| zelrikriando | phorensic, I have no more issues | 03:50 |
| isaak | but u could use wine | 03:50 |
| isaak | for that | 03:50 |
| subinacls | i think you can get away with this tritium6 | 03:50 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: or can i just restart some daemon or something | 03:50 |
| subinacls | sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 03:50 |
| isaak | derrty, u could use wine for games | 03:50 |
| rods | how do I ls to see if I have the correct permissions? | 03:50 |
| subinacls | ls -asl | 03:50 |
| derrty | Yea but i really find wine buggy on some games | 03:50 |
| phorensic | rods ls -l | 03:50 |
| derrty | So i just keep XP | 03:50 |
| subinacls | might as well get as much info as you can | 03:51 |
| isaak | oh | 03:51 |
| subinacls | ls -age -sex -location | 03:51 |
| isaak | i only play starcraft so | 03:51 |
| phorensic | subinacls: asl? age sex location? this isn't that kind of chat room! | 03:51 |
| therootest | zeroshade: both of them seems to be installed... but it says "cannot find the target". | 03:51 |
| derrty | lol a/s/l | 03:51 |
| sileni | i keep windows just to play starcraft o-0 | 03:51 |
| Booge | andymac, you could also try to run a linux iso distro like knoppix or ubuntu on the pc and see if that works with the nic. | 03:51 |
| subinacls | come on you have to admit its funny! | 03:51 |
| subinacls | :) | 03:51 |
| phorensic | subinacls: hahaha | 03:51 |
| isaak | wat so i cant play starcraft on ubuntos? | 03:51 |
| bullgard4 | What is meant by 'link encap' as used in the output of the 'ifconfig' command? I believe it is short for 'link encapsulation'. How is this term defined? (It is used in some old RFCs but I could not find a definition yet.) | 03:51 |
| phorensic | subinacls: you beat me to the punch | 03:51 |
| derrty | Andymac try a live CD | 03:51 |
| zeroshade | therootest: where does it say cannot find the target? | 03:51 |
| werdnum | bullgard4: The physical nature of the link. | 03:52 |
| andymac | Booge, yeah its got the 192.168.1.100 range. i just tried to connect to the routers config and it couldnt resolve that either. | 03:52 |
| isaak | so seriously i cant play starcraft? | 03:52 |
| therootest | zeroshade: in the console. | 03:52 |
| isaak | on ubuntos? | 03:52 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: hmmm I ran over and switched the cable back to eth2 but the router still isnt reporting any new dhcp requests | 03:52 |
| usser | isaak: starcraft2? | 03:52 |
| jmspeex | What's the status of the patch that prevents the HD from parking the head every few second when on battery power? Has there been many reports of problems with it? | 03:52 |
| tsuna27 | phorensic: direct me to where i can find this alt version | 03:52 |
| sileni | isaak: starcraft works with wine? | 03:52 |
| therootest | zeroshade: i try to apt-get etc... and then says cannot find the package! | 03:52 |
| subinacls | maybe you have some other setup! | 03:52 |
| phorensic | tsuna27: sure one sec | 03:52 |
| OsamaK | musikgoat|main, <http://paste.ubuntu.com/111111/> (Which has a very spacial number by the way :P) shows the words "install".. will it install these package of just download them | 03:52 |
| HorizonXP | phpmonk: no one's responding :( | 03:52 |
| sileni | isaak: or i mean wine works for starcraft? | 03:53 |
| isaak | sileni, dont know thats wat i am asking | 03:53 |
| Booge | andymac, is it not resolving hostnames? are you trying to get into the router setup by using an ip? | 03:53 |
| sileni | oh | 03:53 |
| subinacls | i cant be to much help with out having prior or intimate knowledge of your setup | 03:53 |
| subinacls | i can only tell you try setting it static | 03:53 |
| isaak | sileni, i thought it does | 03:53 |
| zeroshade | therootest: hold on, let me see what repository those are in. you have compiz currently running correct? | 03:53 |
| jmspeex | I ask because my disk does a load cycle every *few seconds* when I unplug the AC adaptor (I got 15 cycles in 60 seconds the last time I checked) | 03:53 |
| andymac | i just checked dmesg, it says eth0: link up. but theres a bunch of transmit timeout messages. | 03:53 |
| subinacls | ifconfig -a | 03:53 |
| tsrk | I managed to get the new kernel installed without adding it to my grub loader, how would I go about adding it to grub? | 03:53 |
| phpmonk | HorizonXP: cause PDO is buil-in in PHP i guess you cannot remove it | 03:53 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: it will download, not install | 03:53 |
| subinacls | get info from that and make the eth2 interface use that information | 03:53 |
| therootest | zeroshade: how can i see if compiz is running? | 03:53 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: that is a standard statement | 03:53 |
| subinacls | DHCP is a odd beast | 03:54 |
| sileni | therootest: ps | 03:54 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: well thanks for the help | 03:54 |
| subinacls | maybe yo uhave mac address filtering tritium6 | 03:54 |
| bullgard4 | werdnum: Hm. Why do people use such a strange word for the physical nature of a link? (encapsulation is a well known term for layered protocols in the OSI reference model.) | 03:54 |
| subinacls | :) | 03:54 |
| tritium6 | much appreciated | 03:54 |
| phorensic | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate | 03:54 |
| isaak | im going to try installing starcraft | 03:54 |
| subinacls | np! | 03:54 |
| isaak | on wine | 03:54 |
| therootest | sileni: ps what? | 03:54 |
| phorensic | tsuna27: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate | 03:54 |
| linxuz3r | starcraft2? | 03:54 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: but if you notice all the files listed from lines 21 to 27, those are what you are going to need to take to the offline machine | 03:54 |
| rods | good luck isaak | 03:54 |
| Powder7891 | Hiya All | 03:54 |
| subinacls | tritium6 sometimes the hardest problems have the most simple solutions! | 03:54 |
| derrty | good luck | 03:54 |
| linxuz3r | isaak: is it starcraft 2? | 03:54 |
| rods | it runs way buggy for me, no battle.net | 03:54 |
| zeroshade | therootest: in the system menu, go to preferences, then Appearance. Then choose visual effects, which choice is currenlty selected? | 03:54 |
| phpmonk | anonyman: if i sudo a command the owner is root, i do not want that | 03:54 |
| isaak | no starcraft 1 | 03:54 |
| subinacls | and trying harder solves 98% of them! | 03:54 |
| tsuna27 | phorensic: thx | 03:55 |

| Booge | andymac, if you assigned an ip of 192.168.1.100 to your interface, try to ping 192.168.1.100. if that works, try to ping your default gateway, probably 192.168.1.1 | 03:55 |
| rods | nope--on WINE | 03:55 |
| sileni | zeroshade: or that works >< silly me suggesting ps | 03:55 |
| HiHoStevo | Is there somewhere one can go for help with a new install of Ubuntu? I now have about 2 hours experience with Linux | 03:55 |
| therootest | zeroshade: i am in kubuntu, not ubuntu. | 03:55 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: i'm going afk for a few min, PM me if you'd like | 03:55 |

| OsamaK | musikgoat|main, please check this before. | 03:55 |
| HiHoStevo | Okay I have tried there... but no one seems to know what the problem is... | 03:55 |
| subinacls | i would first check out apt-get or you package manager and see what aoftware you can get | 03:55 |
| isaak | its lame | 03:55 |
| jlunder | Can anyone help me with an installation question? I'm trying to install 8.04 server onto an existing RAID/LVM2 and I'm having trouble skipping the partition step... | 03:56 |
| subinacls | whats the problem ? | 03:56 |
| rods | I understand there are other VM proggies out there that will run it fine | 03:56 |
| isaak | where can i access package manager | 03:56 |
| usser | isaak: what are you talking about? starcraft has been running in wine since like 1999 | 03:56 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: another method to see what files are needed is the command sudo apt-cache depends xchat | 03:56 |
| Powder7891 | Can Any One Help Me With Sound Ive Tried Every Thing In The Forums. | 03:56 |
| subinacls | system>administration>synaptic package manager | 03:56 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: everything showing Depends: xxxx is needed | 03:56 |
| HorizonXP | phpmonk: in Gentoo, i can unset a USE flag to remove it, and be able to install it via PECL afterwards. I know it's not that easy in Ubuntu, but I'd like to be able to achieve the same results. | 03:56 |
| isaak | see usser said it does | 03:56 |
| isaak | how bout battlenet | 03:56 |
| isaak | usser, how bout battlenet | 03:57 |
| andymac | Booge, when i try to ping 192.168.1.1 i get From 169.254.6.135 Destination Host Unreachable | 03:57 |
| HorizonXP | phpmonk: do I HAVE to do it via the .deb package, or can I just install from source? cuz I'm having trouble compiling the .deb. | 03:57 |
| usser | isaak: i didnt test battlenet since i had pirated version but i see no reason why it shouldn't | 03:57 |
| OsamaK | musikgoat|main, But how can I use that command to 'download' for offline usage? | 03:57 |
| tsuna27 | phorensic: how can I find if i hav an i386 or an amd64 and this is test based, is it the same ubuntu then? | 03:57 |
| Booge | andymac, is that eth0:avahi interface still up? | 03:57 |
| isaak | hm... i will try | 03:57 |
| subinacls | HiHoStevo, if you try to describe the problem you have im sure of the people here will try to help of add their 2 cents if they want to | 03:57 |
| andymac | nope | 03:57 |
| isaak | but first compiz fusion | 03:57 |
| phpmonk | HorizonXP: i do not have idea about it | 03:57 |
| sileni | isaak: http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Starcraft | 03:57 |
| subinacls | sure ^some of* | 03:58 |
| phorensic | tsuna27: stick with 32-bit you'll be fine | 03:58 |
| HorizonXP | phpmonk: ok, thanks for your help :) | 03:58 |
| derrty | yea 64 bit has some minor bugs | 03:58 |
| HiHoStevo | My new clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 included OpenOffice 2.4... however when I run any of the Open office programs the menus are all blank in some cases they have dashes in their place, when you mouse over an icon in the toolbar it pops up a dialog window, but it is blank no text... I can type and print... but the print dialog box is just full of empty rectangles....... | 03:58 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: you'll likely have all the files downloaded, or you can grab them from the repository... all of your installed packages (unless you removed them) would be in /var/cache/apt/archives | 03:58 |
| usser | isaak: the only thing is if i remember correctly there was no no-cd patch for starcraft so you'll have to tell wine where it can find your cdrom, or create a fake cdrom directory and mount an iso of starcraft there | 03:58 |
| Booge | andymac, is there a 169 nw listed on your route table? >route | 03:59 |
| usser | isaak: its all in winecfg | 03:59 |
| phorensic | tsuna27: only the install is text based, the rest is the same | 03:59 |
| bobbycheetah | just bought toshiba laptop a305-s6872. installed ubuntu 8.10. where can i find drivers - for example to be able to use the function keys for dimming the display? | 03:59 |

| OsamaK | musikgoat|main, please feel free to leave.. I need more to understand what's going on. and note me when you back. | 03:59 |
| subinacls | HiHoStevo, uninstall it | 03:59 |
| subinacls | and reinstall | 03:59 |
| subinacls | have you tried this already ? | 04:00 |
| subinacls | not the OS | 04:00 |
| subinacls | but the application its self | 04:00 |
| FloodBot1 | subinacls: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:00 |
| HiHoStevo | I have done a re-install with the package manager.. | 04:00 |
| zeroshade | therootest: i apologize, i don't know kde well enough. I know that apparently there are issues with kde and compiz that some people have. along with not being able to find easy ways to configure and use compiz with kde. at least thats what i've seen from googling. Maybe you'll have better luck. Sorry. | 04:00 |
| subinacls | dang flod bot, i have enteritis! | 04:00 |
| andymac | Booge, nope, actually the command route returns nothing but the headings for the list. Theres nothing in route at all :/ that sounds like the root of the problem to me :) now how do i fix that lol. | 04:00 |
| subinacls | leave me alone! the doctor tells me im not the only one! | 04:00 |
| CoJaBo-A1tec | lol | 04:00 |
| subinacls | and you still lack the menus | 04:01 |
| subinacls | maybe there is another package missing | 04:01 |
| tsuna27 | phorensic: thank you and any other tips for a new ubuntu user | 04:01 |
| subinacls | maybe if you apt-get install openoffice.org | 04:01 |
| therootest | zeroshade: thank you :D | 04:01 |
| subinacls | i would include all the suggested and recommended applications also with that | 04:01 |
| phorensic | tsuna27: ask questions in this irc channel and be respectful. Learn all you can from the people here and also help others.. you learn a lot from helping other people | 04:01 |
| subinacls | so maybe your command will look like this | 04:02 |

| Booge | andymac, what is the output of ifconfig eth0 | 04:03 |
| tritium6 | subinacls: actually, I think you got it working | 04:03 |
| subinacls | to me it sounds as if your missing some packages needed to render the menuses | 04:03 |
| subinacls | maybe some icons missing also could be a problem | 04:03 |
| subinacls | maybe a font issue! | 04:03 |
| subinacls | this has happened to me prior | 04:03 |

| subinacls | HiHoStevo, remove that | 04:04 |
| subinacls | and apt-get it | 04:04 |
| subinacls | its better | 04:04 |
| andymac | well i cant really copy and paste from computer to computer. is there anything in particular your looking for? Theres no ip listed, other than an inet6 addr | 04:04 |
| HiHoStevo | remove what and what is apt-get? | 04:04 |
| subinacls | you can also download the source and then compile it yourself | 04:04 |
| andymac | yeah i can ping localhost np | 04:04 |
| subinacls | man apt-get | 04:04 |
| subinacls | its a package manager | 04:04 |
| subinacls | so you dont have to download dependencies | 04:04 |

| subinacls | HiHoStevo, you should just open a terminal | 04:11 |
| subinacls | HiHoStevo, and execute the following command | 04:11 |
| HiHoStevo | I can do that | 04:11 |
| subinacls | sudo apt-get install openoffice.org | 04:11 |
| subinacls | try that maybe it will detect the older version | 04:11 |
| andymac | interfaces has "auto lo" on one line, and "iface lo inet loopback" on the next. | 04:11 |
| subinacls | and uninstall it for you, if it does not | 04:11 |
| subinacls | use this command | 04:11 |
| subinacls | sorry jumped ahead | 04:12 |
| subinacls | you have to find the old executable that openoffice used | 04:12 |
| subinacls | and remove it | 04:12 |
| Booge | andymac, add iface eth0 inet dhcp and on another line auto eth0 | 04:12 |
| subinacls | and then reinstall through apt0get | 04:12 |
| subinacls | apt-get(*) | 04:12 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: i'm sure there is, looking at solutions for any that are easy | 04:12 |

| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: i guess you'd want to confirm you have the packages in the apt cache that are required, and then (depending on how much removable storage you have) take all the packages to the offline machine instead of sifting through them | 04:18 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: it wont hurt to take more packages than you need | 04:19 |
| oodeadbeefoo | well check it | 04:19 |
| hungvo | andymac, im curious if this cmd worked (ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.110 mask 255.255.255.0 up) cause it said: "mask unknown host" on my machine. Could it be the cause? | 04:19 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: otherwise, you can follow this guys tutorial, http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/07/24/howto-download-packages-and-dependencies-for-offline-installation/ | 04:19 |

| andymac | Booge, Wired Connection doesnt even show up as an option in the network manager now when i click on the icon. Its in the actual applet when i open it, but it feels like we just went back to square one :( | 04:20 |
| OsamaK | musikgoat|main, I tried it.. the script takes very long time making the HTML page, so I closed it. | 04:21 |
| oodeadbeefoo | HiHoStevo, i wish you luck, it seems i cant post to much or i cant post to little so the help you see is really easy, all you have to do is decipher all the crap i am about to tell you in one line, and i have to use commas, cause enter is illegal , maybe i should use cr/ or something | 04:21 |
| alivejamie | hrm. is there a better channel for me to ask? i feel kinda ignored in here. but it's understandably busy | 04:21 |

| grassbeacker | dont anybody now where i can find where i can find the server | 04:22 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: oh... like the guy says, one of the problems with packaging is this | 04:22 |

| grassbeacker | couse in xorg.conf ther is no serverlayout | 04:23 |
| OsamaK | musikgoat|main, I tried this also. It just copies files from the cache, it won't help if you don't have the package installed. | 04:23 |
| cline | just a quick question,,, when someone smart has a moment,, | 04:24 |
| werdnum | !ask | cline | 04:24 |
| ubottu | cline: 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. :-) | 04:24 |
| alivejamie | bazhang: it says it's listening and now sending some things | 04:24 |
| alivejamie | it says dhcpdiscover on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 | 04:24 |
| cline | how can i tell if ubuntu recognized an internal gps,, tried what i know,, | 04:24 |
| bazhang | alivejamie, any dhcprequests? | 04:24 |
| alivejamie | and some intervals now | 04:24 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: is this offline computer able to connect to a intranet? or somehow proxy to your online one? | 04:24 |
| oodeadbeefoo | i understand that, however when i end up talking commands and steps it really is easier to distinguish new commands or steps with the enter command, not trying to argue a point, its just i feel that hitting any of these following keys (!@#$%^&U*I(){}[]:";'<>?,./~` unless programing is a waste of energy processor cycles and effort | 04:24 |
| tritium | cline: is it a pci card? | 04:24 |
| whyameye | how can I save a window to the clipboard (not the entire screen) | 04:25 |
| bazhang | oodeadbeefoo, please stop | 04:25 |
| grassbeacker | and i need to at a line there for my touchscreen | 04:25 |
| SodaKiller | anybody using bind? | 04:25 |
| cline | its a toughbook cf-18 with built in gps, | 04:25 |
| alivejamie | bazhang: it says no dchcoffers recieved, no working leases in persistant database - sleeping | 04:25 |
| alivejamie | it was working upon first install, and the ethernet was fine | 04:25 |
| bazhang | alivejamie, what does lspci say for the card in question | 04:25 |
| tritium | cline: does "lspci -v" list anything about it? | 04:25 |
| alivejamie | but stopped after the updates it asked me to do | 04:25 |
| alivejamie | bazhang: i'm sorry how do i check that? | 04:25 |
| oodeadbeefoo | you gentleman, im going back to remote-exploit | 04:25 |
| xurxo | Hello, My problem is that my computer freezes within the first hour of operation. The screen remains as is and the keyboard and mouse are completely non responsive. only one button works: OFF. Has anyone had this problem? What could it be and how could i fix it? Thank you. | 04:26 |
| bazhang | alivejamie, paste.ubuntu.com that command (from the terminal type lspci) | 04:26 |
| cline | ill checknot that i can see, but i dont know what to look for | 04:26 |
| whyameye | xurxo: do you think it might be overheating? | 04:26 |
| OsamaK | musikgoat|main, Here is the story, a friend of mine installed Ubuntu few days ago, I want to install some programs on his computer few hours later, will have Internet access, but we will not have the time to download. | 04:26 |
| cline | sorry | 04:26 |
| cast|lir | greetings | 04:26 |
| SodaKiller | anyone use webmin (to manage bind9) ? | 04:26 |
| tritium | tritium6: gah! | 04:27 |
| cline | not that i can see, but i dont know what to look for , the word gps isnt there | 04:27 |
| bazhang | !ebox | SodaKiller | 04:27 |
| ubottu | SodaKiller: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 04:27 |
| xurxo | on shit. i sure hope not. that would be detramental to my hardware. | 04:27 |
| tritium | language, please, xurxo | 04:27 |
| alivejamie | bazhang: standby, i'll copy it to a flash drive, the netbook can't connect to the internet so i can't paste it to ubuntu.paste | 04:27 |
| bazhang | xurxo, please keep it family friendly | 04:27 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: how big is your cache? would it hurt to just put that all on a disk or usb media? | 04:27 |
| calc | xurxo: you might want to run the memtest on the cd for a while and make sure it passes for at least a few passes (probably a few hours) | 04:27 |
| xurxo | pg 13. you got it. what could it be? | 04:27 |
| Pelo | anyone know how to so a search for files with names with less then 5 letters in them ? | 04:28 |
| SodaKiller | bazhang, hmmm let me check it out | 04:28 |
| OsamaK | musikgoat|main, no, "totalling 499.2 MB" | 04:28 |
| calc | xurxo: there is a program called cpuburn you can run if it passes memtest to see if it locks up from loading the cpu, generally due to heat issues | 04:28 |
| xurxo | do you mean the ubuntu 8.10 cd? and do md5sum | 04:28 |
| musikgoat|main | Pelo: find (scope) -name four | 04:28 |
| calc | xurxo: on the ubuntu 8.10 cd there is a memtest option on the boot up screen | 04:28 |
| xepra | anyone know how to keep dhclient from writing to the routing table and /etc/resolv.conf? | 04:29 |
| calc | xurxo: it is different than the check cd option | 04:29 |
| musikgoat|main | Pelo: where (scope) would be / or /home or such | 04:29 |
| Pelo | musikgoat|main, thanks | 04:29 |
| compguy1011 | anyone to help with tethering my blackberry over bluetooth? | 04:29 |
| xurxo | i did that memtest on the boot screen | 04:29 |
| OsamaK | musikgoat|main, after copying the cache and putting them on his computer, should I simply start Package Manger? | 04:29 |
| densin | hi all | 04:29 |
| xepra | compguy1011: what version of ubuntu? | 04:29 |
| musikgoat|main | Pelo: use sudo if you want to search everywhere | 04:29 |
| compguy1011 | remix | 04:29 |
| calc | xurxo: how long? | 04:29 |
| sigterm | xepra: run static? heh | 04:29 |
| compguy1011 | xepra, remix | 04:29 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: if you put it in the archive, then yes... it should check there, then attempt to get it from the repos (which would fail) | 04:30 |
| andymac | Booge, sorry kinda lost track of what i was doin, still no luck on dhclient. | 04:30 |
| xurxo | what do you mean how long. how long ago? like monday | 04:30 |
| xepra | sigterm: its actually a nasty thing, i have one static and one dhcp -- i need both cause i have xen vms that use both | 04:30 |
| cline | on ls hw what would an internal gps look like, i meen the connection type | 04:30 |
| calc | xurxo: no how long did you let it run the memory test program? | 04:30 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: i would just be sure to confirm that your cache has all the files in the depends... but unless you actively cleaned it up, it should | 04:30 |
| xurxo | untill it finished | 04:30 |
| SodaKiller | bazhang -> just have a dns question if you can help put me in the right path it would be aweseom. i'm using webmin to manage bind9 , i have 1 domain working fine and dandy. i want to add another domain, (i've setup the apache2 part), do i create a new "master zone" ? or edit the existing one? | 04:30 |
| calc | xurxo: it runs in a loop so it runs until it fails or you reboot | 04:30 |
| Pelo | musikgoat|main, recursive ? | 04:31 |
| xepra | compguy1011: not familiar with remix... | 04:31 |
| OsamaK | musikgoat|main, I updated my KDE version minutes ago, is it possible to install KDE in the same way? | 04:31 |
| calc | xurxo: actually it runs forever in general but if it fails it tells you and keeps running anyway | 04:31 |
| calc | xurxo: so you stopped it after one pass, i guess? | 04:31 |
| sigterm | xepra, ahh i see | 04:31 |
| xurxo | really? i thought it had a beginging and an end. It had a percentage bar made out of "#########" | 04:31 |
| xepra | sigterm: where can you disable the dhcp daemon? | 04:31 |
| musikgoat|main | OsamaK: kde is a set of packages just the same | 04:32 |
| bazhang | SodaKiller, not sure about webmin; ebox is the 'ubuntu way' of doing that nowadays | 04:32 |
| xepra | that may be the best option... | 04:32 |
| calc | xurxo: it runs 7 tests and it generally takes at least an hour to run through all of them | 04:32 |
| musikgoat|main | Pelo: what do you mean? | 04:32 |
| xepra | compguy1011: you can do it manually with hcitool and sdptool | 04:32 |
| OsamaK | so for now I don't have any problem. Thank you musikgoat|main | 04:32 |
| Pelo | musikgoat|main, how do I make it search subfolder as well | 04:32 |
| calc | xurxo: if it passes all 7 tests it then starts over and runs again (until you stop it) | 04:32 |
| OsamaK | I'm going | 04:32 |
| xepra | you basically need to search for the device mac | 04:32 |
| calc | s/if/when/ | 04:32 |
| xepra | then search for the services it provides | 04:32 |
| xepra | find the dun profile | 04:32 |
| alivejamie | sorry, i lost my connection. here's the results of lspci: http://pastie.org/373916 | 04:32 |
| xepra | then specify that channel | 04:32 |
| densin | I just install ubuntu first time on my netbook with low resolution, if window is too large . I usually using "Alt+Right hold" to move big window upper over screen.. but ubuntu seem have edge resistant ,I hardly move it. how to disable that resistant? | 04:32 |
| xurxo | yes. it said "test memory" on the boot screen. is this what you are talking about? | 04:32 |
| musikgoat|main | Pelo: sorry, it searches all sub folders | 04:33 |
| xepra | anyone know how to disable the dhcp daemon? | 04:33 |
| cline | thanks let me go lok | 04:33 |
| SodaKiller | bazhang -> okay cool, i'll try ebox. maybe i'm getting confused on the way webmin puts thier terminology. let me try ebox | 04:33 |
| Pelo | musikgoat|main, thank you | 04:33 |
| musikgoat|main | Pelo: like using /home/pelo would search everything under /home/pelo | 04:33 |
| alivejamie | bazhang: thanks for your patience and help so far - http://pastie.org/373916 if you didn't see | 04:33 |
| Booge | andymac, i've exhausted all my options. it's strange that you get link up on both endpoints. i would power cycle to router. thats the only other thing i can think of | 04:33 |
| compguy1011 | xepra, well i got it connected by "pppd call blackberry" and the phone goes in modem mode but i cant browse the internet. and it gets a ip address and all | 04:34 |
| calc_ | grr at&t didn't fix my dsl, and i won't have time to get it fixed before i go to germany :-\ | 04:34 |
| Pelo | thank you musikgoat|main I'll see what I can do with the info | 04:34 |
| xurxo | i really dont think its overheating. no part of the computer is exceptionally hot from what i can touch from the outside. | 04:35 |
| zigzags | how do i diagnose my comp when it does dumb crap like the system monitor freezing | 04:35 |
| bazhang | alivejamie, are you starting up with the ethernet cable connected? also, have you checked in the network-manager to enable ethernet connection, its odd as that device is very well supported | 04:35 |
| alivejamie | yeah it's connectted right now | 04:35 |
| alivejamie | like physically | 04:35 |
| zigzags | is there a keyboard command to bring up a terminal window?? NOT ctrl+alt+F1-6 | 04:35 |
| rods | anyone used the ubuntupocketguide? Pretty cool studd | 04:35 |
| rods | stuff | 04:35 |
| === calc_ is now known as calc | ||
| wastrel | zigzags: gnome terminal? | 04:36 |
| rods | alt-f2 seems to work, but other than that not sure | 04:36 |
| zigzags | yea | 04:36 |
| wastrel | zigzags: gnome-terminal & | 04:36 |
| cline | ok I dont see gps listed, , would it say gps, should i look for a socket,serial? | 04:36 |
| wastrel | ah keyboard | 04:36 |
| alivejamie | bazhang: is that system > administration > network tools ? | 04:36 |
| zigzags | yea | 04:36 |
| wastrel | zigzags: you can set one in system> preferences > keyboard shortcuts | 04:36 |
| phorensic | zigzags: you can create your own shortcut | 04:36 |
| linxuz3r | later guys | 04:36 |
| phorensic | zigzags: I use windowskey+t | 04:36 |
| bazhang | alivejamie, so you are connected from when you boot up? and network-manager is set to enable those connections? (should be an icon on the top panel for that) | 04:36 |
| wastrel | i use ctrl-space | 04:36 |
| zigzags | cool also what can i do if shit like system monitor freezes...also my nautilus crashes ALL THE EFFING TIME srsly it is out of control | 04:37 |
| _Vi_ | sounds like you need xubuntu | 04:37 |
| alivejamie | i'm physically plugged in. and network manager in the top panel is there, but when i click on auto eth0 it just cycles | 04:37 |
| alivejamie | and then eventually says it's disconnected | 04:37 |
| xurxo | well, if anyone has any suggestions on why my computer freezes permanently and frequently be sure to drop me a line. Thank you | 04:37 |
| cline | can i scan port or sockets again to find gps? | 04:38 |
| shaya | wondering if anyone knows how to decipher ata error messages in the kernel log? | 04:38 |
| xepra | compguy1011: can you ping anything? | 04:38 |
| cast|lir | shaya: normally pasting into google helps | 04:38 |
| xepra | compguy1011: is firefox in offline mode? | 04:38 |
| phorensic | xurxo: Have you taken a look at top to see what processes are going nuts right before? | 04:38 |
| SudoKing | hi, I'm having trouble with an ethernet device, its not recieving a DHCPOFFER (but other clients on this router can connect) | 04:38 |
| _Vi_ | gnome-system-monitor by itself takes like 20-40% CPU zigzags | 04:38 |
| ubundude1 | Ok so after rebooting twice, firefox still is stuck open | 04:38 |
| phorensic | ubundudehey man | 04:38 |
| ubundude1 | phorensic: hey dude | 04:39 |
| alivejamie | SudoKing: i'm having a similar problem, i'll let you know if bazhang and i figure it out :) | 04:39 |
| phorensic | ubundude try doing a top | grep firefox see if you get the pid | 04:39 |
| zigzags | oooook | 04:39 |
| SudoKing | oh really? | 04:39 |
| alivejamie | yeah | 04:39 |
| cellofellow | I have a laptop with a TSST TS-L632D DVD drive. It doesn't read DVDs at all. I tried flashing the firmware but that didn't change anything at all. What else can I do? | 04:39 |
| SudoKing | I wasn't aware. I didn't make any new updates. =S | 04:39 |
| xurxo | no... it catches me by surprise and i restart my computer right after. i cant keep my system monitor on just in case my computer freezes. although it does it within the first hour of operation | 04:39 |
| ubundude1 | phorensic: "top | grep firefox" ? cuz thats not doing anything it seems | 04:40 |
| _Vi_ | zigzags: try htop instead of gnome monitor and thunar instead of nautilus, if that helps, then yep you need something lighter like Xubuntu | 04:40 |
| phorensic | ubundude yes that is the right one | 04:40 |
| phorensic | ubundude ok try top by itself and see if you can find the pid for firefox | 04:41 |
| cellofellow | Ubundude: pgrep firefox | 04:41 |
| zigzags | _Vi_ do u think the problem is because my computer has trouble handling the cpu load of nautilus and gnome system monitor??? | 04:41 |
| cline | ok, any direction would be good, integrated gps,toughbook cf-18. did os discover gps? how can tell by looking at lspce -v when I dont see the word GPS? | 04:41 |
| xurxo | phorensic: are you aware of any software that saves that logs that information for me so i can look at it once i restart my computer! i know its an odd question | 04:42 |
| ubundude1 | phorensic: nothing seems to do anything | 04:42 |
| _Vi_ | zigzags: that is why a lighter Window manager would help | 04:42 |
| zigzags | i dont think it needs to be lighter | 04:42 |
| SudoKing | alivejamie: well I don't want to resort to using static addresses =S | 04:42 |
| phorensic | xurxo: Im not aware but I know the logs should already exist | 04:42 |
| compguy1011 | xepra, its let me try | 04:42 |
| compguy1011 | brb | 04:42 |
| zigzags | it crashes randomly like some sort of retard | 04:42 |
| bazhang | alivejamie, this is the msi wind correct? running ubuntu intrepid (8.10) with all the standard repos (ie not mint/ultimate/etc) | 04:42 |
| xurxo | what? | 04:43 |
| alivejamie | bazhang: yep | 04:43 |
| zigzags | and it never runs slowly, it either works or craps itself | 04:43 |
| bazhang | alivejamie, let me just do a quick forums search and see if anyone else is having that issue | 04:43 |
| xepra | ccompguy1011: was it just in offline mode? | 04:43 |
| xepra | lol, good stuff | 04:43 |
| alivejamie | bazhang: i appreciate your help | 04:43 |
| cline | anyone,,,,, how can i tell if ubuntu recognized internal gps.........i tried lspci-v but dont see the word gps?? | 04:45 |
| _Vi_ | zigzags: do this: go to System>PReferences>Appearence go to the visual tab, click none and see if surfing nautilus and gnome system monitor is smoother | 04:45 |
| Flapjack | good evening everyone | 04:45 |

| Flapjack | what command do I add to "ifconfig" so that I pause the list and continue when ready? | 04:45 |
| _Vi_ | oops wrong one | 04:45 |
| scunizi | cline, maybe look for a chipset or name that is a little different fromwhat your use to | 04:45 |
| nickrud | Flapjack, ifconfig | more | 04:46 |
| guardian404 | àëëî íàðîä | 04:46 |
| zigzags | _Vi_ i already have it set at none, its always been at none | 04:46 |
| ubundude1 | phorensic: it doesn't sound like firefox is even running in any form, even killall firefox or firefox-bin does nothing | 04:46 |
| cline | dont know the chipset, what about serial or sockets? | 04:46 |
| cline | where would a normal internal be? | 04:46 |
| cellofellow | I have a laptop with a TSST TS-L632D DVD drive. It doesn't read DVDs at all. I tried flashing the firmware but that didn't change anything at all. What else can I do? | 04:46 |

| guardian404 | sorry | 04:47 |
| cellofellow | ubundude1: ps aux | grep firefox | 04:47 |
| _Vi_ | zigzags: ouch... yep you definately are going to have to go to a lighter window manager then... else you could just use lighter apps, such as htop instead of gnome monitor, and thunar instead of nautilus | 04:47 |
| phorensic | ubundude that is what i was afraid of, yet it still shows it as being open? | 04:47 |
| Flapjack | nickrud, thanks for that | 04:47 |
| scunizi | cline you could always do a lspci -v >~/Desktop/list and then pastbin it for others to look atl | 04:47 |
| nickrud | zigzags, please watch the language a bit, think family friendly | 04:47 |
| _Vi_ | zigzags: besides that im' fresh out of ideas | 04:47 |
| cline | ok whats pastbin | 04:47 |
| cline | new here | 04:47 |

| alivejamie | cline: http://paste.ubuntu.com | 04:47 |

| alivejamie | *booted | 04:48 |
| compguy1101 | ok, im connected threw my phone right now.... | 04:48 |

| redvamp128 | ubundude you could also look for things like Thunderbird as well as Fennec also check for Mozchat (Chatzilla) sometimes they will block a firefox process from starting-- and have you looked in the System Monitor? | 04:49 |
| bazhang | alivejamie, this is a dual boot then? is the ubuntu the netbook remix or just straight up ubuntu (ie no array.org kernel or other eeebuntu customization) | 04:49 |

| cline | thats my hardwre , where is gps? http://paste.ubuntu.com/111118/ | 04:50 |
| zigzags | xurxo thats not what i get. my nautilus and system monitor freeze randomly and i can get them to work if i somehw kill their processes | 04:50 |
| _Vi_ | zigzags: you dont want help.you just want to cause trouble, you're trolling, and you're ignored. cya. | 04:50 |
| compguy1101 | xepra, hey it worked ! :) | 04:50 |

| Gerinych | where does ubuntu store the default icon themes? | 04:51 |
| ubundude1 | phorensic: theres no window of it anywhere, i can't end it, i've restarted my entire system twice since this happened and if i click the firefox shortcut it simply says its already open and therefore can't open again | 04:51 |

| bazhang | alivejamie, oddly enough there are tons of tutorials on getting the wireless to work, only one on wired not working, which requires downloading the deb (from another computer, then shifting via flash stick) | 04:52 |
| === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow | ||
| redvamp128 | ubundude1: if you have for example I have heard of thunderbird people starting it to check the mail and it keeping firefox from starting. | 04:52 |
| cellofellow | I have a laptop with a TSST TS-L632D DVD drive. It doesn't read DVDs at all. I tried flashing the firmware but that didn't change anything at all. What else can I do? | 04:52 |
| bazhang | alivejamie, mostly at the msiwind forums, especially susanna777's tutorial | 04:52 |
| xurxo | good bye | 04:53 |
| cline | alivejamie: look at this and see if you see gps listed | 04:53 |
| scunizi | cline, can you do the same thing but use sudo lshw instead? | 04:53 |
| alivejamie | okay i'll look into that. | 04:53 |
| ubundude1 | redvamp: thunderbird isn't even on my system so.... | 04:53 |
| cline | ok hold on | 04:53 |
| Jim_Raynor | hi | 04:53 |
| jtal | anyone know, is something different about export in ubuntu? | 04:53 |
| Jim_Raynor | I'm having an error with apt-get update | 04:53 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=993324 alivejamie here for example | 04:53 |

| alivejamie | bazhang: is there a disadvantage to using something like ubuntueee or easy peasy? | 04:53 |
| bazhang | alivejamie, there are links in that as well | 04:53 |
| redvamp128 | ubundude1: have you checked in the system monitor for firefox -- process there? | 04:53 |
| bazhang | alivejamie, depends on what you like really | 04:53 |
| Jim_Raynor | the suggested way to fix it is... to run apt-get update | 04:53 |
| Jim_Raynor | which is ridiculous... | 04:54 |
| alivejamie | bazhang: i just want things to work :) | 04:54 |
| ubundude1 | redvamp: i'll double check | 04:54 |
| bazhang | alivejamie, no inherent disadvantages really, just personal preference :) | 04:54 |
| jtal | MY_ENV_VAR=/path/to/stuff ; export MY_ENV_VAR | 04:54 |

| alivejamie | bazhang: alright thanks for your help | 04:54 |
| redvamp128 | ubundude1: are you the only user on your computer( I know it sounds crazy but sometimes)-- you could try the following though not recomended -- sudo firefox -- let it open or fail then close it outl. | 04:54 |
| SudoKing | alivejamie: Are you sure your problem is similar??? | 04:54 |
| tsuru | have there been any reported errors upgrading to 2.6.xx-11 on Ubuntu 8.10 amd64? I just tried through Upgrade Manager and it's kind of hosed my system | 04:54 |
| nickrud | Jim_Raynor, somewhere in launchpad, probably on a page about the guy that has that ppa there's a gpg key you can add | 04:54 |
| SudoKing | sounds pretty foreign :< | 04:55 |
| cline | ok heres lshw list http://paste.ubuntu.com/111119/ | 04:55 |
| Jim_Raynor | that's the funny thing... there's no ppa | 04:55 |
| redvamp128 | ubundude1: Also look for things like Thunderbird-- Fennec -- and MOZCHAT (chatzilla) | 04:55 |
| ubundude1 | redvamp, no mention in system process and sudo firefox didn't do anything | 04:55 |
| nickrud | Jim_Raynor, there most certainly is, somewhere in /etc/apt/sources.list* | 04:56 |
| bazhang | Jim_Raynor, then delete that entry from your sources.list by placing a #in front of it | 04:56 |
| ubundude1 | redvamp: no mention of anything mozilla related in process list | 04:56 |
| Jim_Raynor | i already wiped out sources.list | 04:56 |
| jtal | holy crap this place is busy :> | 04:56 |
| nickrud | Jim_Raynor, look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | 04:56 |
| redvamp128 | hrm-- and sudo firefox -- said it was already open | 04:56 |
| tritium | Jim_Raynor: don't wipe it out. That's extreme. | 04:56 |
| Jim_Raynor | i mean, wipe it as in clean it | 04:56 |
| Jim_Raynor | it's as default | 04:57 |
| ubundude1 | redvamp: exactly | 04:57 |
| tritium | redvamp128: why are you running firefox with sudo? | 04:57 |
| martianpenguin | tsuru what problems did you have? | 04:57 |
| scunizi | cline, I don't think the system recognized it.. I don't see anything out of the ordinary | 04:57 |
| redvamp128 | tritium not I just firefox says it is already open-- and thought possibly he could get it to start then shut it down | 04:57 |
| tritium | redvamp128: ah | 04:57 |
| cline | its an internal gps,,, what now? | 04:57 |
| redvamp128 | tritium I have heard of that as a fix for improper shutdown of firefox... | 04:58 |
| ideka | sockets' bind() call is returning -1 on success. what's up with that? i can connect to the server and everything | 04:58 |

| redvamp128 | ubundude1: find your default profile and delete the following from that folder -- the "lock" and ".parentlock" file | 05:10 |

| Pyles17 | cline: did it just work for you? because that's what it should do | 05:41 |
| ohzie | cline, The realtek is the ethernet card, but there's two networks showing. One is given a pan device name instead of a eth device name. I'm guessing it's pan0 | 05:41 |
| cline | why the question mark? ohzie, can i test that with gpsd | 05:41 |
| christheferal | ohzie what does it mean if nothing is outputting when I type grep audio or whatever? | 05:41 |
| ubundude1 | redvamp: anyway i'm gonna get some sleep finally, i'm dead | 05:41 |
| cline | is pan0 a network bridge? | 05:41 |
| ohzie | christheferal, It means the sound card doesn't have the word Audio in it's device name. | 05:41 |

| isaak | it is a printer scanner | 05:52 |
| scunizi | ok.. now I'm confused.. my router reports my wireless ip ends in .105 but the wireless connection on my laptop reports .109.. what's up with that? | 05:53 |
| n8tuser | scunizi-> what command you used to check your ip addy? | 05:54 |
| spill | can anyone help with the firehol, I'm trying to allow local network ips to pass through. | 05:55 |
| scunizi | n8tuser, just went up to the wireless icon by the clock and right mouse clicked.. then chose "info" | 05:55 |
| n8tuser | scunizi-> confirm it with ifconfig in a terminal | 05:55 |
| scunizi | n8tuser, ifconfig report .105 ... | 05:56 |
| scunizi | *reports | 05:56 |
| n8tuser | scunizi-> so you do have .105 | 05:57 |
| wolter | is permissions the only bad thing about an ntfs /home partition? | 05:57 |
| Bangers1 | when I email a mailing list .. do I put the [MAILING LIST] in the subject? Or do I just send a normal email and the program automatically puts the mailing list to the front of the subject?? | 05:57 |
| scunizi | n8tuser, yes.. weird that the other would report differently | 05:57 |
| n8tuser | wolter -> if the host hosting your ntfs is not ready at boot, you will have a hard time loggin on while your host attempts to connect to remote host | 05:58 |
| n8tuser | scunizi-> i believe what is shown on the terminal | 05:59 |
| scunizi | n8tuser, yes.. I agree.. it's the most direct approach | 05:59 |
| wolter | n8tuser, i am not connecting to any remote host, but my own computer's hard drive, or...did i get you wrong? | 05:59 |
| n8tuser | wolter i mis-read you, i was reading it as nfs | 06:00 |
| wolter | n8tuser, so, which are the cons? | 06:00 |
| n8tuser | wolter i dont know of any linux system that makes their /home an ntfs | 06:01 |
| phorensic | haha | 06:01 |
| wolter | n8tuser, no, i don't think that there is one either, but i have a dual boot, and i don't want that many partitions.. | 06:01 |
| wolter | n8tuser, besides, i have 100gb for windows storage, and 100 for home, but i would like to merge them to be able to access--from windows--my linux files. | 06:02 |

| aaditya | System > Administration > Printing? | 06:33 |

| isaak | but it doesnt seem to have found anything | 06:36 |
| isaak | its telling me to enter something | 06:36 |
| aaditya | how is your printer connected? | 06:37 |
| Newbuntu2 | I'm trying to build a portable audio/video recorder and transmitter, using a mini itx board and 802.11g. I got ubuntu working well, but could someone recommend me software for A/V? | 06:37 |
| isaak | usb | 06:37 |
| isaak | directly to my laptop | 06:37 |
| aaditya | it should be picked up, but let me check | 06:37 |

| aaditya | isaak: if you see a list of devices on the left, it should be one of those | 06:38 |
| aaditya | Solet: ubuntu server takes a few 100s MB | 06:38 |
| aaditya | that'd work as a lamp stack | 06:38 |

| aaditya | not sure isaak, i haven't tried epson | 06:41 |
| isaak | it found the model and make | 06:42 |
| Solet | phorensic: i want to add it to my current install | 06:42 |
| isaak | but.. will it affect scanning? | 06:42 |
| Solet | sudo aptitude -s install mysql-server apache2 php5 said it'd take 122meg after install | 06:42 |

| Solet | will aptitude configure the 3 to cooperate with each other or will i still have to set them all up myself | 06:42 |

| 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+) | 06:43 |
| savvas | Solet: ^ Read what ubottu said | 06:43 |
| phorensic | Solet: it will set things up for you and take you through an install process.. i think there is a few other things to install with that | 06:43 |

| Gohalien_NB | i already download linux header, build essential... no clue why it wont install | 06:51 |
| isaak | Edit the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and enable the right driver for your scanner. Look for the lines that say: does anyone know what this means? | 06:51 |
| isaak | does anyone know what its telling me to do? | 06:52 |
| bazhang | isaak, which scanner model and make | 06:52 |

| tritium | "wats" is not a word, and questions end with question marks, isaak | 06:53 |
| bazhang | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners isaak please read this while I do a forums search | 06:53 |
| savvas | Gohalien_NB: instead of busting your head with kernels and compiling, you could try and see if jaunty (9.04, in development) works: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-3/ | 06:54 |
| Gohalien_NB | yes I did | 06:54 |
| isaak | bazhang, ok i will read it. | 06:54 |
| Gohalien_NB | i am not a alpha/beta fan ^ | 06:54 |
| cool2k | Gohalien_NB, ok, did you use the comand ./configure before make?? | 06:55 |
| Gohalien_NB | no I did not | 06:55 |
| savvas | Gohalien_NB: I said try, as in download the live cd and see if it works from there. If it does, bend that rule a bit and try and use it :) | 06:55 |
| Gohalien_NB | I might do that savvas | 06:55 |
| bazhang | isaak, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=825247 | 06:56 |
| cool2k | Gohalien_NB, do that (./configure) so it will configure properly to use make and try make again | 06:56 |
| isaak | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo i was looking at that. | 06:56 |
| Gohalien_NB | but madwifi doesnt run ./configure | 06:56 |
| Gohalien_NB | the file doesnt exist | 06:57 |
| cool2k | let me check | 06:57 |
| bazhang | isaak, the first post in that ubuntuforums link for both printing and scanning | 06:57 |
| isaak | really? | 06:57 |
| bazhang | isaak, take a look please | 06:58 |

| Gohalien_NB | I already done that savvas | 06:58 |

| isaak | the libsand-extra | 06:59 |
| Gohalien_NB | i will enter from my desktop computer and run latest kernel in my notebook | 06:59 |
| Gohalien_NB | brb | 06:59 |
| bazhang | isaak, and you chose the cx7800 and then installed the libsane-extra package? | 06:59 |
| isaak | oh | 06:59 |
| isaak | i didnt do the lower version one | 06:59 |
| bazhang | aha | 06:59 |
| isaak | cuz my printing worked | 06:59 |
| isaak | but i will try | 06:59 |
| isaak | bazhang, wait u mean cx 7450? | 07:01 |
| savvas | Gohalien_NB: ah wait, you're compiling while offline? | 07:01 |
| doseryder | can someone tell me the package name containing glibc documentations (standard C) | 07:01 |
| Gohalien_NB | no | 07:01 |
| bazhang | choose the Epson CX7800 isaak | 07:01 |
| Gohalien_NB | oh | 07:01 |
| Gohalien_NB | yes, I am compiling when offline | 07:02 |
| cool2k | Gohalien_NB, i think your problem could be the tree where you have your drivers | 07:02 |
| doseryder | documentations (i.e. manpages) | 07:02 |
| isaak | bazhang, still doesnt work | 07:02 |
| isaak | let me restart my computer | 07:02 |

| hossam | user_2, ooh i see, what was the file again that contained the groups and their gids? | 07:13 |
| cool2k | Gohalien_NB, yeap, stranger things will happend man (jajaja), you could see that it was the problem by watching this line: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `notebook/Wireless/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3933-20090127'. Stop. | 07:14 |

| Slart | bah.. the latest update made flash stop using pulseaudio for some reason.. how do I tell flash what sound system to use? | 07:30 |
| PC_Nerd | Once ive connected into an FTP server, how can I open documents as though I was running "sudo nano <file>" on the actual server? | 07:31 |
| HorizonXP | i'm trying to install some libraries, but i run LDD and it's not finding them I think I need to update LD_LIBRARY_PATH. which file should I edit to export this on a system-wide level? | 07:31 |
| Slart | PC_Nerd: are you sure you *can* do that? | 07:32 |
| codeyman | The file system on my ubuntu has become read only | 07:32 |
| codeyman | can someone help? | 07:32 |
| clem | ok so ive got xubuntu installed on a lv i went to expand a volume. but ubuntu doesnt see the new space. gparted does | 07:32 |
| PC_Nerd | nope - but I thought you shoudl be able to do a "run as" or something? I have root access to ther server, but for security im using a standard user. any ideas on how to edit those files? | 07:32 |
| Slart | codeyman: it does that if something goes wrong during boot.. you'll have to find out the reason.. are there any error messages when you boot up? | 07:33 |
| Slart | PC_Nerd: what connection are you using? ftp? | 07:33 |
| PC_Nerd | ftp (places, connect to server) I can ssh into the server, but I prefer to use gedit etc. | 07:34 |
| Slart | PC_Nerd: you'll need to use ssh or similar if you want to run stuff on the server | 07:34 |
| shiraj | hey guys | 07:34 |
| clem | how do you expand a jfs filesystem , in the terminal | 07:34 |
| magicsrv | could someone give me a repo list that includes skype? | 07:34 |
| codeyman | Slart: I just see the splash screen and says that trying different splash sizes.. but thats about it (apart from bash complaining that it cant create tmp files and dropping me to /) | 07:34 |
| Slart | PC_Nerd: you can use ssh -X gedit bla bla bla if you want to run gedit on the remote system | 07:34 |
| shiraj | anyone know why an entry in my /etc/hosts file doesnt resolve? | 07:35 |
| Slart | codeyman: hmm.. disk full? | 07:35 |
| DIFH-iceroot | !skype | magicsrv | 07:35 |
| ubottu | magicsrv: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 07:35 |
| quibbler | magicsrv, medibuntu | 07:35 |
| shiraj | i can connect to it if i put in the IP but not if i put the hostname i specify in the hosts file | 07:35 |
| magicsrv | ty | 07:35 |
| Slart | PC_Nerd: ftp is "File Transfer Protocol".. I think that's about all you can do.. transfer files.. | 07:35 |
| codeyman | Slart: no way.. this is a almost new pc.. one sec.let me check if that is the case | 07:35 |
| quibbler | magicsrv, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 07:36 |
| codeyman | slart: no disk is not full | 07:36 |
| PC_Nerd | ok.... so then I guess the question would be how can I mount the remote server filesystem? ie: /server/usr/local/apache2/htdocs would be /usr/local...... on the server? | 07:36 |
| codeyman | boot up says: 19+0 out | 07:36 |
| the|Navigator | Is it possible to change the ubuntu boot logo foe something else? | 07:36 |
| magicsrv | quibbler: found it, tnx | 07:36 |
| codeyman | 19+0 in.. kinit trying to resume | 07:36 |
| Slart | PC_Nerd: I would use something like nfs.. or sshfs since you already have an ssh connection configured | 07:37 |
| clem | how do i expand a JFS filesystem | 07:37 |
| Slart | the|Navigator: possible, yes... easy, not sure | 07:37 |
| Slart | !splash | the|Navigator | 07:37 |
| ubottu | the|Navigator: To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 07:37 |
| PC_Nerd | ok thanks . | 07:38 |
| codeyman | Slart: I tried remounting as rw, fscking while on livecd.. didn't help | 07:38 |
| maodun | I'd like to launch gnome-terminal (from my terminal) and have the new terminal window be positioned at some X,Y on my screen. How can I do this? | 07:38 |
| the|Navigator | Thank you, Slart! | 07:38 |
| codeyman | Slart: I tried dpkg-reconfigure linux-image incase some kernel issue | 07:38 |
| Slart | maodun: check the man page for gnome-terminal | 07:38 |
| Slart | codeyman: those are all very good ideas.. much better than I could think of at the moment | 07:39 |
| Slart | codeyman: nothing useful in dmesg? | 07:39 |
| monstah | is there any way to force window title in xterm? | 07:39 |
| markupdude | we call the regular networking cable as RJ45 like this one http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Ethernet_RJ45_connector_p1160054.jpg right? | 07:39 |
| monstah | if i use -T (-title) option it just sets it back to my default prompt | 07:39 |
| markupdude | so what would i call the one with a smaller head than that | 07:40 |
| Slart | monstah: yes.. there is a way to set the title using.. echo I think.. and some weird esc sequences | 07:40 |
| user_2 | usr13: I'm starting to think it is a problem with my router not assigned new ipaddresses | 07:40 |
| shiraj | anyone have any guess as to why samba wont connect to a server when i use a hostname but it will when i specify the IP? | 07:40 |
| Slart | markupdude: rj-10 is the name for the connector used by some phones iirc | 07:40 |
| maodun | Slart: cool, looks like I want to play with the geometry flag. thanks. | 07:40 |
| Slart | maodun: ah.. yes.. geometry.. that's the one | 07:41 |
| markupdude | actually i don't know much about networking, i don't think my old Desktop has a modem internal on board... its using a USB port to connect to internet | 07:41 |
| Slart | maodun: you're welcome | 07:41 |
| markupdude | so i bought a modem which looks like this - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=406084&CatId=563 | 07:41 |
| codeyman | Slart: I see ExT3-fs: INFO; recovery required on readonly filesystem | 07:41 |
| markupdude | so that i can connect my newer laptop [XP] to my old desktop [Ubuntu] | 07:41 |
| Slart | codeyman: and running fsck and badblocks on it doesn't do anything? | 07:41 |
| Vinceman | is it being logged somewhere what all updates you installed to your ubuntu? | 07:42 |
| magicsrv | quibbler: Installer says "Wrong architecture: i386" any ideas? | 07:42 |
| markupdude | but that modem came with a thinner cable... and not the bigger point.... | 07:42 |
| codeyman | then i see EXT3-fs: recoverycomplete.. mounted filesystem with ordered data mode | 07:42 |
| codeyman | Slart: fsck finds it clean | 07:42 |
| monstah | Slart: huh ok :D | 07:42 |
| Vinceman | uc right now I can install 24 updates again | 07:42 |
| shiraj | markupdude: sounds liek you bought a dialup modem | 07:42 |
| Slart | markupdude: I think that cable is for the phone line | 07:42 |
| codeyman | I tried forcing it.. doesn't work | 07:42 |
| Vinceman | it is important to know what is all up to date | 07:42 |
| shiraj | markupdude: you need an ethernet card | 07:42 |
| Slart | markupdude: isn't there an usb or serial connection for the computer? | 07:42 |
| Vinceman | except it is sooo much!! | 07:43 |
| Vinceman | no not markupdude, updates dude! | 07:43 |
| quibbler | magicsrv, you using 64 bits? | 07:43 |
| phix | dpkg: error processing sun-j2sdk1.4_1.4.2+18_i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) | 07:43 |
| mistergibson | if I need to recover file from a partition, what are the best tools to use? | 07:44 |
| codeyman | phix: You are using a 32bit deb on a 64 bit system | 07:44 |
| QuickThinkOfANam | anyone know anything about network manager and want to help? | 07:44 |
| phix | codeyman: so? | 07:44 |
| markupdude | shiraj: yes i think so, i bought a old style slow modem :( | 07:45 |
| Slart | monstah: try echo -e "\033]2;NewTitle*\007" | 07:45 |
| loller | hi , i`ve already report for the bug but i`ll paste the bug here also http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m382d4c61 during the installation the update manager ask me if i want to modify menu.lst but i choose to use the local because i usually change only the number ok kernel i wish to boot manually | 07:45 |
| codeyman | phix: doesnt work | 07:45 |
| phix | codeyman: why not? | 07:45 |
| loller | of** | 07:45 |
| markupdude | shiraj: i will explain, both my laptop n desktop are connected to one modem...my ISP has given me 2 connectors... a normal RJ45 kind of cable which i connect to the laptop[XP] coz it has inbuilt modem, and then there is one USB cable which i use to connect to the ubuntu desktop | 07:45 |
| phix | codeyman: so how can I make it work? | 07:45 |
| markupdude | shiraj: so now i just want to connect my laptop+desktop to transfer files | 07:46 |
| magicsrv | quibbler: no idea, the PC's not mine | 07:46 |
| markupdude | will that be possible | 07:46 |
| codeyman | phix: get the 64 bit binaries | 07:46 |
| Vinceman | if you faithfully install all updates requested you never have to do a big one, right? | 07:46 |
| shiraj | markupdude: why dont you set up file sharing | 07:46 |
| phix | codeyman: but I have a 64bit CPU which supports 32bit binaries | 07:46 |
| shiraj | markupdude: what do you need to xfer between computers? | 07:46 |
| phix | codeyman: I cant make the 64bit binaries because make-jpkg fails | 07:47 |
| markupdude | shiraj: before that setting i am confused what should i connect to what? like both the computers are connected to the same modem, via different sorts of cables, and the IP is dynamic | 07:47 |
| codeyman | phix: what are you trying to do | 07:47 |
| markupdude | shiraj: and i have 1 1 empty ports available on both the laptop , desktop, the thinner phone line kinda port | 07:47 |
| shiraj | markupdude: you can probably set the local IPs to be static and set up a local network | 07:47 |
| Slart | monstah: hmm.. that one might have been a bit wrong.. here's what bash uses to set the title.. echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD/$HOME/~}\007 | 07:48 |
| phix | codeyman: I am trying to build a deb package from java's JDK version 1.4 bins | 07:48 |
| tyler_d | the answer - not documented anywhere btw, was -0 within gnome-rdp | 07:48 |
| phix | codeyman: I want to have a JDK 1.4 installation as well as a JDK 1.6 | 07:48 |
| markupdude | shiraj: so the cables that are using internet i can use them to transfer files or do i need extra cable | 07:48 |
| markupdude | shiraj: i do have a crossover cable though, dunno if it will help :) | 07:48 |
| shiraj | markupdude: yeah the wires you have should be good you jsut need to set up the software | 07:48 |
| markupdude | shiraj: i see | 07:49 |
| codeyman | phix: unless I'm mistaken.. you need 64bit version of files | 07:49 |
| markupdude | ok then i will google more | 07:49 |
| phix | codeyman: so I can't tell dpkg to force install? | 07:49 |
| shiraj | markupdude: you could do crossover as a last resort but try setting up samba first | 07:49 |
| codeyman | phix: no | 07:49 |
| markupdude | samba..humm | 07:49 |
| phix | codeyman: why? ubuntu has 32bit libraries too | 07:49 |
| codeyman | phix: ubuntu has different repos for 64bit and 32bit | 07:49 |
| shiraj | markupdude: can you check the ips of both the computers? | 07:49 |
| markupdude | shiraj: yes 1 min | 07:50 |
| quibbler | magicsrv, if it is 64 bits look here for more info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295 | 07:50 |
| shiraj | markupdude: they should be something like 192.168.x.x | 07:50 |
| phix | codeyman: ok so how do I mangle a 32bit package to to be a 64bit package? | 07:51 |
| markupdude | shiraj: they are like xxx.xx.204.4 and xxx.xx.202.47 | 07:51 |
| shiraj | are the xxx.xx parts identical? | 07:51 |
| markupdude | yea same | 07:51 |
| codeyman | phix: I have no idea.. if pkg is difficult to find.. I would just compile from sources.. | 07:51 |
| Slart | phix: you would have to recompile it.. afaik there is no automatic way | 07:51 |
| loller | how to check from terminal in which kernel version i`m running into | 07:52 |
| Slart | loller: uname -a | 07:52 |
| shiraj | markupdude: try connecting to xxx.xx.1.1 from in a web browser | 07:52 |
| shiraj | see if anything comes up | 07:52 |
| shiraj | are you on the xp or ubuntu right now? | 07:52 |
| markupdude | shiraj: keeps loading on both PCs... i am on the ubuntu one now | 07:53 |
| markupdude | but xp laptop is ON besides me | 07:53 |
| hossam | how can i force a umount on a drive? (os states /media/USB is busy) | 07:53 |
| shiraj | open a cmd terminal on the windows one and do ipconfig /all | 07:54 |
| QuickThinkOfANam | haha okay so for anyone who was listening or anyone that cares, the way to get the nm-applet back up is to click 'add to panel' -> 'Notification Area' -> 'add' and poof, good as new | 07:54 |
| werdnum | hossam: umount -f | 07:54 |
| markupdude | shiraj: ok then | 07:54 |
| shiraj | markupdude: and see what it says under gateway | 07:54 |
| markupdude | shiraj: ok noticed.... u want me to compair that with ubuntu one? | 07:55 |
| shiraj | markupdude: nah try connecting to that adress in the browser | 07:56 |
| markupdude | ah | 07:56 |
| shiraj | see if you get a password prompt or something | 07:56 |
| hossam | i try to apply a setfacl on the files within my mounted drive but get the error Operation not supported, I tried to add acl to the fstab entry and remount, but that didnt do it | 07:56 |
| hossam | what can i do | 07:56 |
| Boohbah | shiraj: it's like you're trying to get him to connect to a router that doesn't exist... | 07:56 |
| markupdude | shiraj: keeps loading | 07:56 |
| shiraj | thats wierd | 07:56 |
| shiraj | yeah i figured it was a router | 07:57 |
| markupdude | btw otherwise what is a good solution to connect/share net/file transfer between PCs/OSed | 07:57 |
| markupdude | diff OSes | 07:57 |
| moza | hello all, i tried to get rid of my proxy in ubuntu (8.04) but i don't manage to get rid of it totally... i tried the "usual" way (through system> | 07:58 |

| === Nikon is now known as DexTerDDiT | ||
| markupdude | shiraj: its a solid cable, plus TV | 08:00 |
| shiraj | markupdude: you could get a cheapo router and hook up both pcs to that | 08:00 |
| markupdude | i heard getting a router will solve evrything | 08:00 |
| magicsrv | how can I mount the partition, that my ubuntu 8,10 intreped is installed inside windows on? | 08:01 |
| shiraj | markupdude: lol yeah i was assuming you were connected to one | 08:01 |
| markupdude | shiraj: hummmm just a bit confused like how would i use it | 08:01 |
| shiraj | markupdude: hook the modem to the internet port on the router and connect the 2 pcs to the lan ports | 08:01 |
| markupdude | shiraj: heh he .... like if i get a router... i will connect my modem given by ISP to the router via | 08:01 |
| markupdude | shiraj: i see | 08:02 |
| hossam | can i set the acl mount option to a vfat mounted drive? | 08:02 |
| shiraj | markupdude: then set up samba and windows file sharing | 08:02 |
| isaak | can someone please help me | 08:02 |
| isaak | with finding my scanner | 08:02 |
| markupdude | shiraj: humm sounds much much easier | 08:02 |
| shiraj | markupdude: yeah its not too hard | 08:03 |
| magicsrv | Hi! I have ubuntu 8,10 intreped installed inside windows on my second partition of the hdd0, can anyone tell me how to mount that drive in order to access files on it? | 08:03 |
| markupdude | shiraj: oh btw my desktop does not have a modem...its currently using the USB option to connect to net...so when i get a router again i have to buy another modem for the PC [this dial up is of no use?] | 08:03 |
| shiraj | markupdude: you need a NIC card not a modem | 08:04 |
| moza | magicsrv : windows won't see the linux partition, if you're talking about dual boot and want to access your linux partition from windows. i tried this myself. my solution was to create a "data" partition and put all the shared files in it. | 08:04 |
| can | anyone have issues with intrepid and flash - video is fine but no audio? | 08:05 |
| cbilljones | there is a ext3 driver for windows that ive had success with | 08:05 |

| quibbler | magicsrv, http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 08:06 |
| markupdude | shiraj: i have a similar thing ! | 08:06 |
| can | slart: most of the forum stuff i've been reading suggests to take out pulseaudio altogether | 08:06 |
| can | slart: and install esound | 08:07 |
| Slart | can: that seems kind of backwards.. I'd rather try to fix pulseaudio | 08:07 |
| moza | magicsrv, then you only need to mount (the command mount) the partition, like any other partition. But i don't understand how you installed linux ON the windows partition? | 08:07 |
| magicsrv | moza: it's ubuntu installed with wubi ;) Inside Windows | 08:07 |
| can | slart: Is flash the only thing you have issues with? | 08:07 |
| markupdude | shiraj: like this http://img.alibaba.com/photo/200068309/Computer_Fax_Modem_SmartLink_chipset_.jpg | 08:08 |
| magicsrv | moza: could you give me a specific cmd? | 08:08 |
| can | slart: my issue is just flash. | 08:08 |
| moza | "mount" is the command | 08:08 |
| Slart | can: yes.. everything else seems to work | 08:08 |
| can | slart: vlc, mplayer works fine | 08:08 |
| markupdude | anyway will see if i can get a router | 08:08 |
| nightrid3r | i have a headless box running gnome that i want to use from my laptop, i must be able to logon, what software will i need on client and server side | 08:08 |
| Slart | can: yup.. everything that uses pulseaudio natively works fine | 08:08 |
| moza | magicsrv, you usually use it as : mount /dev/partition_desired /media/mount_point | 08:08 |
| shiraj | markupdude: thats not the right one, make sure it says 10/100 ethernet | 08:08 |

| shiraj | magicsrv: is your windows partition ntfs? | 08:09 |
| moza | no, you have to define to which name under the /dev directory corresponds your D: | 08:10 |
| can | slart: do you have flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound installed? | 08:10 |
| magicsrv | shiraj: yes, and I have ubuntu installed ON it inside windows | 08:10 |
| shiraj | magicsrv: you need to do mount -t ntfs-3g what where | 08:10 |
| Slart | can: nope, I use the flash 10 beta from adobe labs | 08:10 |

| Joe-C | I have 2 HDD and already have Vista installed on 1 and I want to install Ubuntu on the other | 08:18 |
| Joe-C | and dual boot | 08:18 |
| Firefishe | I notice in looking over ubuntu's directory structure, that the traditional /usr/src/linux symbolic link isn't in /usr/src at all. All I see are header files for the various kernels I'm running or have upgrade from. Why is this/ | 08:19 |
| Firefishe | ? | 08:19 |
| hossam | setfacl: operation not supported, can anyone help? | 08:19 |
| Joe-C | 1. is it possible, 2. what are the risks of stuffing up my vista install | 08:19 |
| shiraj | would anyone in here be able to help me with a problem in my hosts file? | 08:19 |
| moza | Joe-C, 1) yes it is possible, 2) if your partitions are already made, i would say the risks are minimum | 08:19 |
| neosimago | Joe-C: yes, it's possible and the risk is wiping the MBR on the vista install. | 08:19 |
| Joe-C | MBR? | 08:20 |
| neosimago | Master Boot Record, the part that tells it to boot vista. | 08:20 |
| moza | shiraj, i'm not sure i can help but what is your exact problem? | 08:20 |
| Joe-C | ok | 08:20 |
| neosimago | it would be best to point your BIOS to the ubuntu disk. | 08:21 |
| Joe-C | neosimago: how can I minimize this risk | 08:21 |
| can | anyone have a successful Intrepid install with HDMI out ? | 08:21 |
| neosimago | then have GRUB point multiple boot points, including vista. | 08:21 |
| shiraj | well im setting up samba and just to make it look nicer im assigning hostnames to all the computers on my lan | 08:21 |
| shiraj | the first one works fine i added 192.168.1.2 and gave it a name | 08:22 |
| moza | neosimago, isn't that the default behavior when using a classical installation with a disk? | 08:22 |
| shiraj | and that one i can connect to by just putting the name, not the ip | 08:22 |
| moza | ok | 08:22 |
| shiraj | but the other computer on 192.168.1.5 wont do that | 08:22 |
| Joe-C | is GRUB installed with ubuntu or is it a seperate app | 08:22 |
| shiraj | that one is a windows xp though | 08:22 |
| Joe-C | sorry for my newb'ness | 08:22 |
| shiraj | i can connect to it if i specify the ip but not if i put the hostname i gave it | 08:23 |
| moza | Joe-C, it was installed by default for me | 08:23 |
| Slart | Joe-C: it's installed by the ubuntu installer.. but I guess it's really optional.. you can use lilo or something else if you really want | 08:23 |
| neosimago | i don't rely on any classical behaviors with computers. -- i just make sure my BIOS points to the disk, and remember where it is in /dev/ | 08:23 |
| quentin | I have a question, Im downloading KDE, i'm a gnome user. if i don't like kde how do i swtich back to gnome and delete kde | 08:23 |
| neosimago | grub is installed after you select the partitions to install ubuntu. | 08:24 |
| Joe-C | slart: I will use whatever is easiest and won't kill my vista install | 08:24 |
| neosimago | however, it would be wise to select the same disk, is the point mentioned here. | 08:24 |

| neosimago | for example, if ubuntu is on sdb2, have grub point to sdb as an install point. | 08:25 |

| codeyman | Slart: I dont see any specific error message in dmesg either.. anyway I can manually delete any lock key or some file causing it to reevaluate? | 08:35 |

| abhishek_ | the update tab in Software Sources does not have upgrade option | 09:04 |
| neosimago | KungfuJoe: download the source of K3B and compile it to with libcss and all the gimics to do DVD copying to your joy in an apt package. | 09:04 |
| KungfuJoe | neosimago: K3B...is that the name of the app? | 09:05 |
| neosimago | KungfuJoe: the main issue is that ubuntu is limiting it's distributions to not include these things because of legal issues. | 09:05 |
| neosimago | KungfuJoe: yes, however, if you install it using the regular apt-get, you won't be able to do what you're looking to do. | 09:06 |

| loller | Steff line 53 is suppose to be the error "53 FATAL_ERROR("TARGET contains invalid chars !");" | 09:11 |
| Steff | loller, try "locate *.mp3 | grep <a word from the song>" or in your case locate *.c | grep <a line in the code> | 09:12 |
| Steff | loller, im sorry, but i cant help you with the c code, but it sounds like you have a string or varibel wrong defined... | 09:13 |

| dayo | so u're trying to copy from ubuntu (ext3) to an external ntfs filesystem | 09:31 |
| isaak | is there anyone out there who knows how to make my scanner printer work? | 09:31 |
| mib | nope. | 09:31 |
| moza | (found it myself... just the "env" command) | 09:31 |
| mib | dayo , im trying to copy the output to an external file within the fs | 09:31 |
| isaak | this is why ubuntu cannot compare to windwos yet | 09:31 |
| isaak | i guess its not meant for artists | 09:32 |
| dayo | mib: ok, u're copying from within ubuntu to another spot within ubuntu? | 09:32 |
| dayo | isaak: scanners are plug n play in ubuntu | 09:32 |
| dayo | isaak: Start XSane Image Scanner | 09:33 |
| mib | ya | 09:33 |
| tomoyuki28jp | How can I change a default kernel to boot? | 09:33 |
| dayo | mib: i don't get how the external comes into play, though. what are the directories u're copying from/to? did u check the permissions? | 09:34 |
| mib | yea.i checked..all rwx | 09:34 |
| greenfuji | hello all. I have been learning how to configure an ftp on ubuntu server. Finally got connected via gftp on my ubuntu laptop. I cannot seem to find out why my hdd is not showing up under media on the server. Any clues? | 09:34 |
| Ethos | hi guys, im trying to run apt-get install snmpd mrtg apache2 to install and get mrtg up and running | 09:34 |
| mib | the reason i have external is because my current ubuntu is lack of space | 09:34 |
| Ethos | it says snmpd isn't a package tho?! | 09:34 |
| mib | so i plug my xhdd and chuck all the files there | 09:35 |
| mib | and trying to run from there | 09:35 |
| dayo | mib: paste the exact command u're using | 09:35 |
| greenfuji | ethos: have you looked in synaptic to see if it exists in the list. If not check if you require to add a repository to have it appear | 09:35 |
| mib | i just did ..touch foo in the fs | 09:35 |
| mib | touch: cannot touch `foo': Operation not supported | 09:35 |
| dayo | mib: u're executing touch on the external ntfs? | 09:37 |
| mib | yeah | 09:37 |
| mib | since i cant even do a > to a new file | 09:37 |

| prahal_ | I find it weird is it so difficult to find this piece of information . The problem is old | 09:50 |
| vigo | Is there a cache manager, like a dns flush? Or is that another terminal thing I need to learn? | 09:50 |
| prahal_ | vigo, as far as I recall if you have not installed a dedicated software (nscd or such) there is no such thing as a dns cache enabled by default on linux | 09:51 |
| vigo | Thank you | 09:51 |

| Steff | Gauntlet, Hmm, most of the NIC works out of the box, but try System -> Administration - Hardware Drivers | 09:55 |

| gordonjcp | nope, no-one at all | 09:56 |
| kavitha | gandhii | 09:56 |
| nbuntu | a recent update has resulted me booting into low graphics mode | 09:56 |
| Steff | Gauntlet, If your wireless card works you can click on the screens at the right upper corner at enable wireless and the see the lists of wifis... | 09:56 |
| Gauntlet | Steff, well lets pretend the drivers are installed for it and I should just be able to enter the details of the wifi network but it never connects to it | 09:56 |

| EugenA | how do i make sure ntp is running? | 10:01 |
| petski | kriyas, I don't know. Try 'man fc-cache' | 10:01 |
| kriyas | ok petski | 10:01 |
| kriyas | it say no manual entry | 10:02 |
| EugenA | why there is no "status" option on /etc/init.d/ntp-server ???? | 10:02 |
| petski | EugenA, it's very common that if your server is running "virtual" that you have timing issues. | 10:02 |
| petski | kriyas, http://www.xfree86.org/current/fc-cache.1.html | 10:02 |
| EugenA | petski: it is real hardware, not virtual | 10:02 |
| kavitha | after setting to ntp... restart network using /etc/init.d/networking restart | 10:03 |
| EugenA | petski: should not ntp correct the time always??? | 10:03 |

| raheem | !lamp | 10:19 |
| 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+) | 10:19 |

| huda | oiii??? | 10:51 |
| Skfarek | hi, where can i add modprobe dm-mod in init.d to have LVM during startup? | 10:52 |
| bazhang | tbd, #ubuntu+1 for that | 10:52 |
| tbd | thx | 10:52 |
| tbd | thx, bazhang | 10:52 |
| erUSUL | Skfarek: on root file system ? | 10:52 |
| tbd | already there ;) | 10:52 |
| Skfarek | erUSUL: yeah, i have / in LVM (/boot outside) and it freezes during startup in the half | 10:53 |
| Skfarek | i haven't used LVM during installation process, also i turned off a lot init.d in rc and now i can't find where it should but turn on | 10:53 |
| erUSUL | Skfarek: for that you need to include it on the initrd... i though that this kind of set up worked out of the box... | 10:54 |
| Skfarek | erUSUL: initrd? | 10:54 |
| erUSUL | Skfarek: may you just need (after installing lvm tools and such) to sudo update-initramfs ?? | 10:54 |
| erUSUL | maybe* | 10:55 |
| Skfarek | i can try | 10:55 |
| Skfarek | hmm | 10:55 |
| Skfarek | maybe i should turn on udev in init.d ;) | 10:55 |
| erUSUL | Skfarek: if that fails add the module to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and update again | 10:56 |
| erUSUL | Skfarek: init.d is on the LVM if you can not mount it no matter what you tweak there it will have no effect :P | 10:57 |
| Skfarek | right | 10:57 |
| Skfarek | ;d | 10:57 |
| LeL | hey all | 10:57 |
| erUSUL | Skfarek: you need to tweak initrd via initramfs tools the initrd is on /boot/ and is loaded by grub | 10:57 |
| LeL | how can i start gpm daemon at startup using root credenetials? | 10:57 |
| Skfarek | i'm trying initramfs from chroot | 10:57 |

| Skfarek | doesn't work | 11:01 |
| LeL | how can i start gpm daemon at startup using root credenetials without any user interferring? | 11:02 |

| fasta | Are there tools to batch convert svg to png? | 11:02 |
| Slart | fasta: tried imagemagick? | 11:03 |
| fasta | Slart: not yet | 11:03 |

| fasta | Slart: it can. | 11:05 |
| balrog__ | Slart: is this how you would do it, except use root instead of smarthost on step 1? | 11:05 |
| LeL | slackd00d: the problem is that there's no /etc/rc.d/rc.local in ubuntu... so i don't know where to put the init line | 11:06 |
| LeL | alrt: the problem is that there's no /etc/rc.d/rc.local in ubuntu... so i don't know where to put the init line | 11:06 |

| erUSUL | Skfarek: well i'm afraid i can not continue debugging... it is out of my knowledge... | 11:06 |
| Slart | balrog__: huh? smarthost? | 11:06 |
| erUSUL | LeL: /etc/rc.local | 11:07 |
| Skfarek | erUSUL: ;-) | 11:07 |
| erUSUL | LeL: but gpm should have its own init script in /etc/init.d/ ; shoudn't it ? | 11:07 |
| Slart | LeL: there is a /etc/rc.local | 11:07 |

| Hikeractive | puneeth, do you have a /usr/lib/flock/? | 11:32 |
| J-_ | Does the Intel Dual Core E2140 CPU and Intel Accelorator 950 work well with Ubuntu, at least for a desktop, and/or server? | 11:32 |
| mchelen | puneeth, look for a lib or plugins subdirectory | 11:32 |
| sekyourbox | fxcp, keyboard shortcut settings | 11:32 |
| Hikeractive | puneeth, if it's there, this will be easy | 11:33 |

| puneeth | Hikeractive; ok | 11:35 |
| Shock | DamienCassou: then press AltGr-6, release, press "i" | 11:35 |
| Shock | DamienCassou: îîîî ;) | 11:35 |
| sekyourbox | fxcp, this is running in terminal, right? | 11:36 |
| Shock | DamienCassou: let me know if it works for you also | 11:36 |
| sekyourbox | fxcp, edit>> keyboard shortcuts... | 11:36 |
| DamienCassou | Shock: it works, thank you :-). It is a bit different than what I had in hardy | 11:36 |
| therootest | jarco: the problem may be that i have ubuntu 8.0.4 and not 8.10? | 11:37 |
| spring_morning | ok..i checked my user permissions...everything is checked.. aplay -l doesnt recognize my sound card... BUT lspci -i does...it says 'access restricted' under it..why would it say that? | 11:37 |
| Shock | DamienCassou: glad I could help | 11:37 |
| jarco | idd | 11:37 |
| jarco | therootest, i just found that out :d | 11:37 |
| erUSUL | spring_morning: maybe you disabled it on Bios set up ?? | 11:37 |
| DamienCassou | Shock: should I add that to a session script? | 11:37 |
| therootest | jarco: lol | 11:37 |
| erUSUL | spring_morning: i mean is onboard audio ? | 11:37 |
| therootest | jarco: is there such thing as cube in 8.0.4? | 11:38 |
| sekyourbox | ubuntu 8.04 support and i7 based box? | 11:38 |
| jarco | therootest, anyhow u will need to find that and then select compiz over your current | 11:38 |
| Hikeractive | puneeth, sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/* /usr/share/flock/plugins/ | 11:38 |
| fxcp | sekyourbox: you mean xvesa? xvesa is the lightweight x.org. didnt even find any config files for it. | 11:38 |
| Shock | DamienCassou: no, i just made you run that command to make sure the proper layout was selected :) | 11:38 |
| jarco | and yes therootest i have seen it on 8.04 | 11:38 |
| spring_morning | erUSUL: it's a soundblaster...so i dont think its onboard (sorry im new to this all) | 11:38 |
| Shock | DamienCassou: in case you had something else selected and didn't realise it | 11:38 |
| jarco | damn kde 3.5:p | 11:38 |
| therootest | jarco: isnt there an command to select compiz over the current? | 11:38 |
| Shock | DamienCassou: for all intents and purposes it should work out of the box if you have selected the proper layout in the gnome interface | 11:39 |
| jarco | therootest, i would not know that sorry | 11:39 |
| Hikeractive | puneeth, make sure to restart flock | 11:39 |
| WinterWeaver | Is there a browser cache on a linux server, and how can I clear it? | 11:39 |
| Shock | DamienCassou: as long as you press the right key combo | 11:39 |

| greenfuji | mchelen: I would have thought so but cannot find anything. Could be down to unusual naming but no option looks like it changes copy to move. Is gftp one of the better ftp programs or is there something else? | 11:49 |
| === Juliiiie is now known as antoine[maison] | ||
| henkpoley | Joy, updated my MythTV system, now it does't load audio drivers for my MCP51 based motherboard | 11:50 |
| mchelen | greenfuji, gftp is pretty good, it should be in there, you can try kftpgrabber or filezilla, also the command line ftp has move option | 11:50 |
| oCean_ | bonhoffer: there are lots of options to adjust the output. For example, pipe your ls command throug less, tail or head ("ls -alt | less" or "ls -alt | tail -10") | 11:51 |

| perlmonkey | hi guys, slightly off-topic but need some help | 11:52 |
| perlmonkey | I have a disk (Maxtor 160GB root) throwing up disk errors regularly.. before I bin as a faulty drive I wanted to make sure my setup is not causing it.. I have 2 SATA drives in the system, both are showing as masters on channels 1 and 2 respectively.. the other is 320GB.. 1) does it matter they are both showing as master.. 2) does it matter which channel they are on? | 11:53 |
| perlmonkey | incidently, the 320GB is mounted as /home | 11:54 |
| jarco | what is good vidio editing software on kubuntu/ubuntu? It needs to be able to put music tracks under the video and to make text go on and off screen. (like the many blue youtube text thingies :d) | 11:55 |
| mchelen | greenfuji, well, im not able to find it in gftp or kftpgrabber so far, its also called delete after copy | 11:55 |
| filmore | perlmonkey: you could boot from a livecd with only one hard drive plugged in at a time. That would eliminate the "is two masters making it crazy" question. | 11:55 |
| filmore | perlmonkey: and test the sanity of the harddrives that way | 11:56 |
| mchelen | perlmonkey, that sounds fine, you could pull the good drive, put the suspect drive in its place, and check if its still causing errors | 11:56 |
| mchelen | the causes are 1) hard drive 2) controller card / channel 3) bad cable 4) bad / dying power supply | 11:57 |
| perlmonkey | phew | 11:57 |
| perlmonkey | so it could be a number of factors | 11:57 |
| perlmonkey | or any one of them | 11:57 |
| perlmonkey | the motherboard and PSU are brand new I built the system myself | 11:57 |
| mchelen | jarco, try kino, jahshaka, or just search the applications add/remove for video editor | 11:58 |
| jarco | ok mchelen | 11:58 |
| berenge | bbb | 11:58 |
| mchelen | perlmonkey, there is always a chance, depends on exact errors | 11:58 |
| perlmonkey | the Maxtor hard drive was ex-stock and came with 3 months warranty only, but was new and unused | 11:58 |
| perlmonkey | I can give you an example of some errors | 11:58 |
| greenfuji | mchelen: at least you confirmed Im not nuts in not seeing the option in gftp. Looks like it is copy accross then delete manually. either that or comand line | 11:58 |
| mchelen | perlmonkey, you can check system monitors for power supply voltage, cpu temp, that kind of thing | 11:59 |
| mchelen | greenfuji, you could use a normal file copy operation with the curlftpfs fuse module | 12:00 |
| mchelen | greenfuji, or just mount the ftp in nautilus | 12:00 |
| perlmonkey | actually i can't, heh typical it hasn't done it today yet..hardly a day goes by it doesn't throw up errors and at least once a week it completely locks up and often does not boot again until after many attempts | 12:01 |
| mchelen | perlmonkey, look for any specific info about errors, and check all system monitors for something unusual | 12:01 |
| mchelen | is that your system hd? | 12:01 |
| perlmonkey | it seems to be a read access error at sector level and fsck always has to carry out massive repairs to filesystem | 12:01 |
| tarelerulz | I broke Vista so I am install it again and I have Ubuntu on it too . How do I fix grub/install it again so I can go back to dual booting. Ubuntu sets up grub so nice for all that . | 12:01 |

| mariooliveira | mchelen, does it plays on normal dvd players? | 12:13 |

| mchelen | mariooliveira, there might be some program with a split option, it sounds like that is more trouble than its worth though | 12:16 |
| mchelen | greenfuji, security from what? | 12:16 |
| greenfuji | mchelen: the server is connected to the internet via a gateway for its updates, and there is an ubuntu laptop and windows htpc that have access to files on it. I want to be sure no unwanted wireless users can join in or users over the net. | 12:18 |

| tavi | cause take time and i do not want | 12:27 |
| filmore | perlmonkey: depends on what you're doing. I don't think you'll see much of a difference in 8 vs 16 though | 12:27 |
| mchelen | rpm and seek time are also important | 12:27 |
| Dr_willis | perlmonkey, from the reviews/benchmarks ive seen.. it depends.. and for most cases.. once ya get above a set point. it dont matter much | 12:27 |
| mchelen | yeah its not the most important thing | 12:28 |
| tavi | well for me is | 12:28 |
| ZeroA4 | tavi, but it is not normal for vlc to crash... the 0.8 version did work well, maybe you can fix it removing and reinstalling the same version | 12:28 |
| mchelen | tavi, well it saves you time with vlc, because getting 0.9+ working in 8.04 is a hassle | 12:28 |
| mchelen | yeah thats true too | 12:28 |
| filmore | perlmonkey: unless this is for a professional server... then I'd dig deeper to see which one's best for the application | 12:28 |
| tavi | great.... | 12:29 |

| Slart | doctorow: I still have hardy on my laptop though.. | 12:53 |
| arthurmaciel | remoteCTR1: for booting gparted. | 12:53 |
| remoteCTR1 | Slart: ok i installed it with dpkg -i (i'm on ssh on one of our servers) and no errors so far, so i guess it worked (dependencies n stuff) right? | 12:53 |
| doctorow | Slart, under System->Preferences->Screen Resolution, I can mirror the displays or span them, but not deactivate one of them. | 12:53 |
| remoteCTR1 | arthurmaciel: umm gparted is basically nothing that you boot | 12:53 |
| remoteCTR1 | you do that while linux is running | 12:53 |
| henkpoley | CatJelly: At the "first bootscreen" try the F1-F8(?) keys to see what cheatcodes there are, try plain VGA mode | 12:53 |
| Slart | remoteCTR1: yup, that's a reasonable assumption | 12:54 |
| doctorow | OK, I'm going to try hupping X11 -- thanks! | 12:54 |
| Slart | doctorow: can't you set the external one to primary? | 12:54 |
| CatJelly | henkpoley: thanks for that I'll try it | 12:54 |

| shams | hi, how do i can know. which usb tv tuner works on linux? | 12:58 |
| Slart | remoteCTR1: well.. you'll need a webserver.. and snmp.. but if you really want to you can put the webserver on another machine and just gather the data | 12:58 |
| arthurmaciel | remoteCTR1: thanks. I must be confusing stuff. I'm already installing it. Anyway It seems the 50mb of my actual boot partition will be lost, right? | 12:58 |

| prometheus77 | hi, how to remove font "Courier 10 Pitch" on intrepid? Firefox uses it instead of "monospace" and it looks very unreadable and ugly? On which package is this Courier font? | 13:03 |
| harlemdavvey | what distro are you using? would you suggest me to use fedora instead of ubuntu? | 13:04 |
| Slart | prometheus77: why not tell firefox to use monospace instead of courier then? sounds easier | 13:04 |

| cannonball | When kernel updates install, it leaves the old packages hanging around. Being around rpms long enough, I know that it's generally a bad thing to update the kernel as opposed to installing it, so I have no qualms about that. But after a while, when I have 7 or 8 kernels hanging around, what's the best/most generally accepted way of getting rid of the older ones? So far, I've just been doing 'sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-22-generic', for e | 13:10 |
| cannonball | xample. | 13:10 |
| cannonball | Is there a better way or method? | 13:10 |
| Slart | cannonball: that sounds ok to me.. it's what I do | 13:10 |
| Slart | cannonball: you could use --purge to get rid of config files too | 13:11 |
| voland | or you can manually delete them | 13:11 |
| ezerhoden | isn't there some apt-get --autoclean or something | 13:11 |
| Slart | voland: then I think you would still have kernel modules and stuff hanging around | 13:11 |
| raheem | ezerhoden: i guess that's to clear the downloaded packages, which no longer required | 13:12 |
| Seveas | ezerhoden, apt-get autoremove, but that is explicitely configured not to remove kernels | 13:12 |

| cannonball | When I've had sound problems, it usually was because some sound daemon started up and was causing apps to try to use it instead of using ALSA (and the sound daemon wasn't working right). | 13:52 |

| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 14:24 |

| s1ckb0y | i typed and it just goes to a new line smbpasswd username | 14:37 |
| DogWater | mainly so the installer won't complain about there being an LVM spanned across two hardware devices | 14:37 |
| lsx | razor2006, for ur confirmation i solved my problem like you yesterday... sudo apt-get install pulseaudio | 14:37 |

| razor2006 | lsx: let me rephrase my last statement, the card itself is detected, its the sound driver that isnt detected. | 14:40 |

| eoke | s1ckb0y: Have you confirmed somehow that these two boxes are even on the same network and able to access one another? | 14:55 |
| Slart | Ben_Cs: I think 386 means it uses only those instructions available on a 386 machine.. generic I think uses the 686 instructions | 14:56 |

| fingletoad | hello | 14:56 |

| Slart | ineedubuntuhelp: nope, this is the right channel.. you can type !wifi to get some info from the bot.. just keep asking your question.. repeat every 5 minutes or so.. use the time to google and search the forums | 14:57 |
| bullgard4 | ari_stress: On one of my Ubuntu laptops I cannot hear it either. Try the command 'beep' in a GNOME terminal and on a console and report here. | 14:57 |

| Ben_Cs | Slart , Myrtti : thanks guys | 14:58 |

| afmacedo | Slart: jaapvisser: but I need to do it through command line :/ | 15:05 |
| s1ckb0y | eoke: have 2 notebooks with windows and they can connect to the share, the share is password protected and i have not set this up in ubuntu yet dont know how to | 15:06 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | when you say the driver is not loaded, is that different from the driver not being "installed"? | 15:06 |
| ardchoille | Are the repos really slow right now? | 15:06 |
| eoke | s1ckb0y: Ubuntu will request the logon credentials once it establishes a connection. | 15:06 |
| oCean_ | jca1981: that's not good. Error en CustomLog directives should have valid values in apache2.conf. It's not the cause of your problem I think, but it helps debugging | 15:06 |
| quibbler | ardchoille, yes | 15:06 |
| ardchoille | quibbler: Thanks | 15:07 |
| Slart | afmacedo: oh... hmm.. let me see if I can find anything | 15:07 |

| ari_stress | bullgard4: i have pc speaker volume in alsa now, but still no sounds :( | 15:08 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | does anybody have any idea why i am getting "could not find a network configuration tool" | 15:08 |
| jaapvisser | jschoolc 32bit is fine for web development | 15:08 |
| Slart | darkham: try running "padsp espeak" instead | 15:09 |
| bullgard4 | ari_stress: What do you mean by ' pc speaker volume '? | 15:09 |
| Slart | darkham: if you're using pulseaudio that is | 15:09 |
| jschoolc | jaapvisser: cool, thanks | 15:09 |

| oCean_ | jca1981: you can set the LogLevel in apache2.conf to some more verbose level, maybe capturing what happens when you get the internal server error | 15:10 |
| Slart | darkham: try "aoss espeak" then | 15:10 |
| Ced___ | How does one reinstall KDE 4? ( i cant join #kubuntu atm, got forwarded here.) | 15:10 |

| Slart | darkham: I think espeak uses oss | 15:10 |
| darkham | Slart , ok | 15:10 |
| anervoustwitch | Ced___ depends on your distro | 15:11 |
| Ced___ | aneveroustwitch: kUbuntu 8.10 | 15:11 |
| jaapvisser | oCean : /etc/apache2/httpd.conf you can change log leve: fatal | info | trace | warn | 15:11 |
| oCean_ | jaapvisser: it's no longer httpd.conf, that's for 3rd party module loading etc | 15:12 |
| anervoustwitch | Ced___ do you have a desktop at all, or console only? | 15:12 |
| jaapvisser | sorry mean /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 15:12 |
| oCean_ | jaapvisser: I know, I'm wrote that for jca1981 to do :) | 15:12 |
| Ced___ | aneveroustwitch: I get a desktop, but all window edges are gone, and i cant move stuff around (not even with alt+drag) | 15:12 |
| Slart | afmacedo: can you use conf-editor at a command line? does it have a ncurses interface? | 15:13 |
| jca1981 | oCean_: ok, set it to debug, still no error when i hit the site. i restarted apache | 15:13 |
| anervoustwitch | Ced___ have you tried logging off and back on and/or restarting? | 15:13 |
| afmacedo | Slart: yup | 15:13 |
| Ced___ | aneveroustwitch: I tried restarting, resetting the config, relogging in, etc | 15:13 |
| jaapvisser | bussy channel can not hold up the names >:0 | 15:13 |
| oCean_ | jca1981: In one of the logs should be an entry. Even with vhosts configured, the startup msg should go to the 'default' error_log file... something like "resuming normal ops" | 15:14 |
| ari_stress | bullgard4: beep still doesnt work :( | 15:14 |
| afmacedo | Slart: I've tried already to change the .desktop Categories section, playing with .menu files, etc... but so far I got nothing :/ | 15:14 |
| n8tuser | Ced___ -> try to see if kde4 is listed with sudo tasksel --list-tasks | 15:15 |
| bobbycheetah | the first sound you hear after rebooting ubuntu is the when the login screen appears. it sounds like bongos. the sound file is called question.wav and found in /usr/share/sounds. when I reboot and the sound occurs, I can barely hear it. however, when I play the wav file it sounds loud and clear. any ideas why? thx! | 15:15 |
| anervoustwitch | Ced___ what n8tuser said. if it is there, try deselecting it, allowing it to remove, and readding it. | 15:16 |
| anervoustwitch | Ced___ although thats has its own set of potential problems | 15:16 |
| Slart | afmacedo: I can't really find anything about it either.. sorry | 15:16 |
| Glacies | hi | 15:17 |
| afmacedo | Slart: :( that's ok... thanks anyway buddy | 15:17 |
| Ced___ | n8tuser: Its not there. | 15:17 |
| Ced___ | n8tuser: kUbuntu-desktop IS though. | 15:17 |
| Glacies | can somebody give me a list of the Gtk elements? | 15:17 |
| Slart | bobbycheetah: I'm guessing ubuntu uses some standard settings for sound volume and such at the login window.. when you login you'll get your sound settings that might have a higher volume set | 15:17 |
| Slart | afmacedo: you're welcome... hope you find a way to edit those menus | 15:18 |
| n8tuser | Ced___ -> i dont know how to install kde4 , | 15:18 |
| afmacedo | Slart: I'll let you know if I do | 15:18 |
| Ced___ | n8tuser: Ill just reinstall kUbuntu, i've been on IRC like 4 hours now, and no result >< | 15:18 |
| bobbycheetah | hmmm.. where would i look to find "system" settings? | 15:18 |
| jca1981 | oCean_: i got the log now and i have Apache/2.2.9 (Ubuntu) configured -- resuming normal operations but i cant see any error messages | 15:18 |

| Photoguy | What is the command for adding repositories? | 15:19 |
| kaktuskatta | Hi all! I've just had a restart because my comp hanged completely! I'm eager to find out why, but dmesg doesn't say. The old log in /var/log doesn't reveal anything particular either... | 15:19 |
| jaapvisser | Photoguy : edit /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:20 |
| afmacedo | Slart: checking | 15:20 |
| Photoguy | jaapvisser, thanks. | 15:20 |
| oCean_ | jca1981: ok, so that's the default ErrorLog. The other logfiles are configured in "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sitename" (e.g. '000-default') Just check if the files mentioned there (ErrorLog and/or CustomLog) are correct, existing | 15:20 |
| jrwren | I'm trying to upgrade from feisty, but do-release-upgrade is complaining about failing to fetch things, like us.archive.ubuntu.com no longer has feisty. Should I just modify sources.list and update/dist-upgrade? | 15:21 |
| Slart | !feisty | 15:21 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 15:21 |
| jrwren | !eol | 15:21 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 15:21 |
| jrwren | !upgrade | 15:21 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 15:21 |
| oCean_ | jca1981: (of course, you might have done this checking already... I don't know) | 15:21 |
| Slart | jrwren: end of life was in october last year so the repos have moved.. there is a repository archive but I can never remember the url.. check the links from ubottu | 15:21 |
| kaktuskatta | is there any way do check timestamping in the logs? | 15:21 |
| n8tuser | jrwren -> i'd do a fresh install instead of upgrade | 15:22 |
| juna | hello to all. can someone give me an opinion for mod_security ? is it better to have it installed or not ? what are pros and cons ? conflicts with different scripts etc ? thank you | 15:22 |
| savvas | jrwren: a server? do you have physical access on the server? | 15:22 |
| jrwren | n8tuser: I NEVER do fresh installs. | 15:22 |
| jrwren | Yes, I have physical access. | 15:22 |
| jrwren | savvas: yes, a server for a client. | 15:22 |
| n8tuser | jrwren -> good luck | 15:22 |
| savvas | jrwren: hold a sec | 15:22 |
| hatter243 | juna, ask #apache | 15:22 |
| Jeruvy | juna Try asking in #apache, they have far more expertise with this. | 15:22 |
| mactech | question - can i install ubuntu on my apple ibook g3 500mhz with 128mb of ram, 20gb HD, and with airport wireless? | 15:22 |
| Photoguy | jaapvisser So this is right? /etc/apt/sources.list http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ | 15:23 |
| jrwren | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades and http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ looks good | 15:23 |
| savvas | jrwren: did you change the sources.list to use the old-releases repository? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades | 15:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Slart deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-security main restricted universe multiverse | 15:23 |
| jaapvisser | juna it all depend on your configuration | 15:23 |
| jrwren | savvas: doing that now :) | 15:23 |
| jrwren | thanks. | 15:23 |
| Jeruvy | !hcl | mactech: you can install ubuntu anywhere | 15:23 |
| ubottu | mactech: you can install ubuntu anywhere: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 15:23 |
| jrwren | you have all been far more helpful than I can ever imagine | 15:24 |
| savvas | jrwren: can you send me the /etc/apt/sources.list at http://paste.ubuntu.com so I could have a look? | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Slart those three are all you need | 15:24 |
| Slart | Jack_Sparrow: ah.. that's the one. Thanks | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 15:24 |
| Slart | jrwren: you got those urls? | 15:24 |
| jaapvisser | the best place to handle security is in your scripts but a mod_security solution works great to block certain requests | 15:24 |

| bullgard4 | ari_stress: Yes indeed. | 15:26 |
| cwillu | jrwren, :) | 15:26 |

| bullgard4 | Why does the driver ath_pci.ko provide two network interfaces: ath0 and wifi0? | 15:27 |
| SodaKiller | anybody use Bind9? | 15:27 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: one is the real card, the other is a bridge to it | 15:27 |
| ikonia | SodaKiller: yes | 15:27 |
| savvas | jrwren: in case it doesn't work, download the alternate cd from http://releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ and burn it. Pop the cd in and use this command: gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" - Then while updating you will be asked to fetch updates, there you say "No" and it will go fine. :) Note that you'll probably have to upgrade once more to Hardy 8.04 after that. | 15:27 |
| jca1981 | oCean_: i need to load the mod rewrite module :) | 15:27 |
| Photoguy | jaapvisser: is this correct? /etc/apt/sources.list http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ | 15:27 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: Which one is the bridge? | 15:27 |
| jaapvisser | nope Photoguy | 15:27 |
| bobbycheetah | I'm at / and running the following command... sudo find . -name '*' |xargs grep -i 'question.wav' why do i still get "permission denied" results? | 15:27 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: wifi0 I believe | 15:27 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: ath0 is the physical card | 15:28 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: Ah! Thank you very much. | 15:28 |
| jrwren | SodaKiller: I use bind9 :) | 15:28 |
| SodaKiller | ikonia -> if you can point me to the right direction, it would be great, okay so i have bind9 managed using Webmin, i have 1 site working fine, i want to add another domain, do i create a new "master zone" (WEbmin lists it as master zone), or do i edit the existing one? | 15:28 |
| oCean_ | jca1981: yes, it seems that way... never underestimate the power of logging :) | 15:29 |
| eoke | SodaKiller: I'm currently trying to use bind9 ;) | 15:29 |
| s1ckb0y | eoke: didnt work, the windows computers see each other but no ubuntu shares on ither | 15:29 |
| s1ckb0y | eoke: just installed ubuntu yesterday have not messed with anything besides updating | 15:29 |
| SodaKiller | eoke -> ahh we're on the same boat. | 15:29 |
| ikonia | SodaKiller: webmin is totally not supported, your question is webmin related, not bind9 related | 15:29 |
| jca1981 | oCean_: fealing so stupid i looked in wrong file. can you remember where i load mods | 15:29 |
| ikonia | SodaKiller: webmin is not really compatible with a lot of the things ubuntu does in terms of how applications are configured | 15:29 |
| eoke | SodaKiller: I'm trying to do it through the config files and it's erm interesting ;) | 15:29 |
| oCean_ | jca1981: I think you can do that by creating a symlink from /etc/apache2/mods-available to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled. Then restart apache | 15:30 |
| eoke | s1ckb0y: Have you actually confirmed the Ubuntu box is on the same network as the Windows box? | 15:30 |
| SodaKiller | ikonia, thats fine, well then in bind in the /etc/bind/ folder do i create a new domain.com.hosts file and include it? | 15:31 |
| jca1981 | oCean_: oh yea, hehe thanks | 15:31 |
| ikonia | SodaKiller: you can do | 15:31 |
| oCean_ | jca1981: sure, np | 15:31 |

| ubottu | n8tuser, please see my private message | 15:33 |
| SodaKiller | ikonia -> i see. yep, i have the apache side working fine, i must have screwed up on the .hosts file because nothing still works. although, i'm using my current .hosts file as an template. i'll look at it again | 15:33 |
| dinesh372 | anyone tell me how to add a new command to shell | 15:33 |
| SodaKiller | ikonia - i have 5 IPs to use, i've hosted 1 site on 1 IP, now i need to do the second site | 15:33 |
| ikonia | SodaKiller: not sure why you are telling me this as it doesn't effect your problem | 15:34 |
| jca1981 | oCean_: oh now i get [error] [client 83.91.199.234] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'Limit$ | 15:34 |
| dinesh372 | anyone tell me how to add a new command to shell | 15:34 |
| SodaKiller | ikonia -> i know ik now, just telling you my situation not that it has anything to do with my original question lol | 15:34 |
| hatter243 | dinesh372, insert into your .bashrc "alias <what you want to type>='<command>' | 15:34 |
| hatter243 | !patience | dinesh372 | 15:35 |
| ubottu | dinesh372: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 15:35 |
| jaapvisser | dinesh372: which command do you like to add | 15:35 |
| s1ckb0y | eoke: i just changed the .conf to show workgroup = MSHOME | 15:35 |
| SodaKiller | ikonia -> so a new .hosts file per domain would work right? | 15:36 |
| dinesh372 | i want to add a c function square that squares a number as it is given as assignment | 15:36 |
| ikonia | SodaKiller: depends on the configuration | 15:36 |
| ikonia | dinesh372: ok ? | 15:36 |

| ikonia | Kupari: why ? there are 3 versions packaged with ubuntu | 15:37 |
| ikonia | Kupari: putting a 3rd party one on may cause serious issues | 15:38 |

| Kupari | But it works better than official releases | 15:38 |
| s1ckb0y | eoke: do i need to have anything oinstaled besides samba? | 15:38 |
| Kupari | MUCH better | 15:38 |
| jrwren | hahaha... do-release-upgrade choked on old-releases. It makes sense. It just changed feisty to gutsy, but gutsy isn't at the old-releases URL. | 15:38 |
| ikonia | Kupari if you know that, then you must have installed the drivers before | 15:39 |
| c0d3-r3d | will the ubuntu work with a dvd? | 15:39 |
| ikonia | Kupari: if you have instaled the drivers before you'll know how to use a .run file | 15:39 |
| Kupari | Aye, but just cant remember that command | 15:39 |
| ikonia | c0d3-r3d: yes, but it can be a problem sometimes burning a CD to a DVD | 15:39 |
| ikonia | Kupari: there isn't a command, you just run them | 15:39 |
| Kupari | Ok~ thx | 15:39 |

| c0d3-r3d | i want a dvd because i dont have a cd :( | 15:40 |
| oCean_ | jca1981: that might be something regarding the rewriteEngine, but I'm not really familiair with that. It might help to create/declare an explicit VirtualHost in the apache config. But again, I'm no expert on this.. | 15:40 |
| ikonia | d0netsFN: depends on the controller, most home kit, no | 15:40 |

| AlexGC2 | good morning gentlemen | 15:45 |
| savvas | rafaelscj: add it in file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 15:45 |
| SodaKiller | AlexGC2, all your base | 15:45 |
| AlexGC2 | and ladies :) | 15:46 |
| eoke | !blacklist | rafaelscj | 15:46 |
| ubottu | rafaelscj: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 15:46 |
| jschoolc | Why would I be able to use arrows in a shell and not delete/backspace? | 15:46 |
| rafaelscj | eoke, savvas, I am going to try. - iwl3945 -> iwlwifi_mac80211 -> snd_seq_dummy | 15:46 |
| AlexGC2 | Q: Does the Ubuntu server boot into a GUI? | 15:46 |
| step21 | jschoolc: wrong keyboard layout? | 15:47 |
| eoke | AlexGC2: Not by default | 15:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Slart got a couple minutes for PM | 15:47 |
| jschoolc | step21: how would I check from the console? | 15:47 |
| eoke | AlexGC2: Although you can add a GUI if you wish | 15:47 |
| carpii | theres no gui in ubuntu server by default | 15:47 |
| jschoolc | SSH'd into a linode ubuntu slice | 15:47 |
| comicinker | help: when I do: "sudo mount -a" I receive: "mount: mount point storage does not exist" | 15:47 |
| rafaelscj | eoke, savvas, so, should I put "iwl3945" in that file? | 15:48 |
| AlexGC2 | eoke , carpii, I would. Tips or pointers? | 15:48 |
| comicinker | whats wrong with fstab? | 15:48 |
| Slart | Jack_Sparrow: sure. | 15:48 |
| step21 | jschoolc: changing from the gui would prob be easier/more complete if you don't know | 15:48 |
| eoke | rafaelscj: I wasn't following your issue just saw the question, adding the module to the list will stop it from loading. | 15:48 |
| n8tuser | comicinker -> can you post your fstab file? | 15:48 |
| AlexGC2 | eoke , carpii, I would. Tips or pointers to getting one gui in? | 15:48 |
| carpii | Alex, try sudo-apt get install kde-core | 15:49 |
| carpii | and maybe kubuntu-desktop im not sure | 15:49 |
| comicinker | n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m31983cf1 | 15:49 |
| eoke | AlexGC2: "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" would install the full gnome desktop but that would use considerable resources and potentially reduce the security of the box. | 15:50 |
| jschoolc | step21: thanks, I'll search around for the command | 15:50 |
| savvas | rafaelscj: iwl3945 should be working fine, it's intel's open source driver | 15:50 |
| carpii | hm kubuntu-desktop will install a load of default kde apps too, you probably dont want that | 15:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | AlexGC2 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 15:50 |
| rafaelscj | eoke, savvas, might you analize my lsmod output? I could pastebin it | 15:50 |
| carpii | i think kde-core is what you need | 15:50 |
| savvas | rafaelscj: I'm not an expert on modules, sorry :) | 15:50 |
| savvas | rafaelscj: all I know is iwl3945 is for intel wireless cards and works ok | 15:51 |
| n8tuser | comicinker -> umm, i dont see where it should complain about mount point storage | 15:51 |
| rafaelscj | savvas, okay, it should be iwl3945, i'm going to try | 15:51 |
| rafaelscj | savvas, thanks | 15:51 |
| savvas | np :) | 15:51 |
| n8tuser | comicinker -> oop spoke too soon, line 16 needs to be commented | 15:51 |
| rafaelscj | eoke, tnks | 15:52 |
| comicinker | Ah! thanks | 15:52 |
| s1ckb0y | eoke: not working but i can see my ubuntu from windows now | 15:52 |
| s1ckb0y | eoke: now need to see my windows share from ubuntu and ill be good | 15:52 |
| AlexGC2 | thanks JackSparrow, , carpii | 15:52 |
| ryanprior | What's a good program to eat up CPU cycles on a multi-core processor for load testing? | 15:53 |
| carpii | s1ckb0y, if you install smbfs package you can mount the windows share like a normal directory | 15:53 |
| eoke | s1ckb0y: Getting there at leas then, I didn't realise you were even trying to access your ubuntu shares. | 15:53 |

| latenubuntu | any body know how to solve this error : can't install mysql-server due to unmet dependencies | 15:58 |
| arthurmaciel | guys, I used gparted to expand my boot partition to 200mb (it was 50mb large). but it was formated and now the kernel cannot read the partitions. | 15:58 |
| steve_ | join forum french | 15:58 |
| ikonia | latenubuntu: what dependencies, and how are you trying to install | 15:58 |
| carpii | s1ckb0y, you want to permanently mount a windows share ? | 15:58 |

| schweizer | hi folks | 15:59 |
| arthurmaciel | can anynone send me an initrd for kernel 2.6.24-23-generic please?? | 15:59 |
| erUSUL | arthurmaciel: well if boot was indeed formated you not only lost the initrd but the kernel itself and the grub files... | 15:59 |
| amanu_ | i wanna format my usb stick | 15:59 |
| amanu_ | but i cant find format option | 15:59 |
| dinesh372 | ubottu : aur kaisa h | 15:59 |
| schweizer | is this the ircnet network or the freenode network? | 15:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about aur kaisa h | 15:59 |
| ikonia | latenubuntu: you need to pastebin the error so we can see which dependencies are not met | 15:59 |
| arthurmaciel | erUSUL: you are right. | 15:59 |
| ikonia | schweizer: freenode | 15:59 |
| steve_ | hi | 15:59 |
| carpii | s1ckb0y, ok then thats something else. try searching http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=675530 | 15:59 |

| hwilde | something wrong with the repos or is it me? Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.37) | 16:00 |
| arthurmaciel | erUSUL: so I'll not be able to boot anymore, right? | 16:00 |
| ikonia | hwilde: it's fine | 16:00 |
| amanu_ | i wanna format my usb stick any command | 16:00 |
| arthurmaciel | erUSUL: I'll have to reinstall ubuntu... damn. | 16:00 |
| ikonia | amanu_: use gparted | 16:00 |
| knittl | ok, i'm back. i still have no luck booting from usb | 16:01 |
| hwilde | ikonia, dang mine just stalls at 99% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.40)] | 16:01 |
| amanu_ | how can i install that | 16:01 |
| erUSUL | arthurmaciel: even if i could do that my /boot/grub/menu.lst will not match yours... and myself i use custom kernels and grub2 so you will have to find someone with a more pristine or standar install | 16:01 |
| arthurmaciel | amanu_: take care when using gparted. pay attention to it. | 16:01 |
| amanu_ | i think i wont have it | 16:01 |
| ikonia | hwilde: actually mine is hung on the same host | 16:01 |
| ikonia | amanu_: install it | 16:01 |
| hwilde | ikonia, as i suspected | 16:01 |
| ikonia | hwilde: just moved on, it's just slow | 16:01 |
| amanu_ | take care in the sence what can i do | 16:01 |
| arthurmaciel | erUSUL: the fact is I cannot mount /boot anymore, so i won't be able to copy files there. | 16:01 |
| Activewrk | Can anyone help me in getting an HTC Apache tethered to a Mini 9 running Intrepid? | 16:01 |
| ikonia | amanu_: mini 9 ? | 16:01 |
| erUSUL | arthurmaciel: one course of action could be boot with the livecd chroot to the ubuntu install you have and reinstalll a kernel image and grub | 16:02 |
| ikonia | amanu_: sorry not you | 16:02 |
| ikonia | amanu_: mini 9 ? htc apache ? | 16:02 |
| erUSUL | arthurmaciel: that may work | 16:02 |
| arthurmaciel | erUSUL: I don't have a cdrom for this machine | 16:02 |
| Activewrk | Mini 9 is netbook, htc apache is a cellphone | 16:02 |
| arthurmaciel | can I boot from network from windows? | 16:02 |
| erUSUL | arthurmaciel: :/ | 16:02 |
| eth01 | a mini 9 is a car.. | 16:02 |

| erUSUL | arthurmaciel: dunno | 16:02 |
| arthurmaciel | erUSUL: really thanks. | 16:02 |
| erUSUL | arthurmaciel: no problem | 16:02 |
| ikonia | Activewrk: ubuntu is not supported on cell phones, you need specific distros and install techniques | 16:03 |
| arthurmaciel | erUSUL: do you believe that if I put this hd on another laptop that boots from cdrom, will it work? | 16:03 |
| Activewrk | ikonia not installing it on the phone | 16:03 |
| ikonia | amanu_: open the package manager, search for gparted and install it | 16:03 |
| zz | I would like to know if anyone has found a calculator widget that sits nicely on the panel? | 16:03 |
| amanu_ | ok | 16:03 |

| ikonia | Activewrk: apologies, what ar eyou trying to do | 16:03 |
| erUSUL | arthurmaciel: it may work yes but no guaranties never done it | 16:03 |
| Activewrk | I have intrepid installed on my netbook, and I want to use my phone as a tethered modem | 16:03 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: well they are for generic x86 arch | 16:03 |

| amanu_ | arthurmaciel : what to care with? | 16:04 |
| arthurmaciel | I knew it wouldn't be nice to mess with /boot inside the OS. | 16:05 |
| arthurmaciel | amanu_: don't mess with important partitons that the system depends on, like /boot | 16:05 |

| osubuck | ah ok i found it | 16:09 |
| ikonia | MiLLeN: it's not a binary file | 16:09 |
| hatter243 | osubuck, apt-get install aptoncd or try google | 16:09 |
| osubuck | it was in synaptic :D | 16:10 |
| ikonia | MiLLeN: you need to uncompress it | 16:10 |
| binarymutant | MiLLeN, gunzip -d | 16:10 |
| MiLLeN | ok | 16:10 |
| Flash | osubuck why you do feel you have to install ubuntu again ?? | 16:10 |
| amanu | does is there any link to get .deb files for ubuntu packs dvd | 16:10 |
| osubuck | if i want to install on another machine, etc | 16:10 |
| ikonia | amanu: ubuntu packs dvd ?? | 16:10 |
| osubuck | or if i wipe it off and put another distro in its place to test it | 16:10 |
| ikonia | osubuck: then you should install it to that machine manually, unless that machine is identical | 16:10 |
| amanu | ikonia:yes | 16:11 |
| binarymutant | amanu, synaptic will do that | 16:11 |
| Flash | osubuck another machine = diffirent drivers etc... | 16:11 |
| ikonia | amanu: what is an ubuntu pack dvd ? | 16:11 |
| jiffe89 | anyone know where I might find a list of packages installed by 'tasksel tasksel/first multiselect Standard system' ? | 16:11 |
| latenubuntu | ikonia it's ubuntu desktop 2.6.28.1-xxx-ipv4-32 | 16:11 |
| ikonia | latenubuntu: what version of ubuntu are you using | 16:11 |
| osubuck | i just want an updated iso of ubuntu, with all the updates so i don't have to download them when i get it | 16:11 |
| ikonia | latenubuntu: not what desktop | 16:11 |
| ikonia | latenubuntu: show me "lsb_release -a" | 16:11 |
| amanu | i mean | 16:11 |
| ikonia | osubuck: you need to make that as an install CD - rather than an image of your machine | 16:11 |
| amanu | software for ubuntu | 16:12 |
| amanu | on a dvd | 16:12 |
| ikonia | amanu: aptoncd | 16:12 |
| Flash | osubuck thats fine but do not install drivers for one pc and think that it will be good for another | 16:12 |
| oCean_ | amanu: what software are you looking for? | 16:12 |
| osubuck | ok, but how do i go about doing that? | 16:12 |
| jumcore_ | 0,,0 | 16:12 |
| MiLLeN | binarymutant: say me that "unknown suffix --ignored" | 16:12 |
| osubuck | get the iso of ubuntu then how to i add the updates to it? | 16:12 |
| ikonia | Flash: to be fair the kernel modules should be fine, I'm more concerned about the disks / partitions / uuid's | 16:12 |
| MiLLeN | when i type "gunzip -d foo.bin" | 16:12 |
| amanu | not exactly 1 but i need to get a collection of softwares if theres any link available | 16:12 |
| Flash | osubuck leave out the drivers when using aptoncd | 16:12 |
| ikonia | !aptooncd > amanu | 16:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about aptooncd | 16:13 |
| binarymutant | MiLLeN, mv foo.bin foo.gz | 16:13 |
| oCean_ | amanu: do you need the operating system on cd/dvd? See the shop: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu | 16:13 |
| binarymutant | MiLLeN, then try | 16:13 |
| ikonia | !aptoncd > amanu | 16:13 |
| ubottu | amanu, please see my private message | 16:13 |
| MiLLeN | ok | 16:13 |
| amanu | ikonia cool | 16:13 |
| amanu | ikonia you misunderstood me | 16:13 |
| ikonia | amanu: then explain, what do you want | 16:13 |
| osubuck | so to do this i need to use aptoncd? | 16:14 |
| amanu | i am asking for a link to get softwares that can be install even at offline | 16:14 |
| amanu | in ubuntu | 16:14 |
| s1ckb0y | carpii: i was able to mounted with sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=windows_username,password=windows_password | 16:14 |
| s1ckb0y | /vista_pc_name/share_name mount_folder_name | 16:14 |
| ikonia | amanu: and I'm telling you how to put the software on a CD | 16:14 |
| ikonia | amanu: which you can install when you are offline | 16:14 |
| oCean_ | amanu: how would anyone know what collection you want on such a dvd? | 16:14 |
| Flash | updates are for the box currently doing the updates, a socket 775 will not be the same for a 478 just an example | 16:14 |
| ikonia | amanu: if you are not online - you can't access the repos, you need a local copy, eg: a cd repo | 16:14 |
| s1ckb0y | carpii: i want to make it permanent since other way dont work | 16:14 |
| oCean_ | amanu: other than creating it yourselves... (like what ikonia said) | 16:14 |

| osubuck | would be nice if someone could remaster ubuntu 8.10 iso and include all updates as of today | 16:16 |
| jiffe89 | in the preseed file can I do perform a useradd using the 'preseed/late_command' option ? | 16:16 |
| MiLLeN | binarymutant: firt mv foo foo.bin and "bash ./foo.bin" | 16:16 |
| MiLLeN | binarymutant: ok | 16:16 |
| ikonia | foo.bin: gzip compressed data, was "foo.bin", from Unix, last modified: Fri Sep 8 23:57:24 2006 | 16:16 |
| amanu | <oCean_> : not exactly for a collectin im just looking for any to download if available what ever it may be | 16:16 |
| ikonia | it's compressed data | 16:16 |
| binarymutant | ikonia, he extracted it | 16:16 |
| ikonia | amanu: then you need a full repo mirror | 16:16 |
| ikonia | binarymutant: ahh, I missed that, sorry | 16:16 |

| ikonia | latenubuntu: thats also not an ubuntu 8.04 kernel | 16:17 |
| MiLLeN | and when i gunzip appear one file with name "foo" | 16:17 |
| MiLLeN | bin | 16:17 |
| ikonia | latenubuntu: where did you get this kernel | 16:17 |
| Gnea | latenubuntu: did you compile that kernel yourself? | 16:17 |
| latenubuntu | no | 16:17 |
| latenubuntu | im a noooooooob | 16:17 |
| MiLLeN | binarymutant: with "sudo sh foo" not found | 16:17 |
| ikonia | latenubuntu: where did you get this ubuntu install ? | 16:17 |
| amanu | i need a full collection of softwares | 16:17 |
| ikonia | amanu: then you need a full mirror repo | 16:17 |
| Flash | latenubuntu is this from a torrent? | 16:18 |
| amanu | yes | 16:18 |
| ikonia | amanu: it will take approx 70GB of data | 16:18 |
| latenubuntu | ovh install it to me | 16:18 |
| amanu | ohh | 16:18 |
| ikonia | latenubuntu: who is ovh ? | 16:18 |

| latenubuntu | hosting company | 16:18 |
| oCean_ | amanu: oh, 70GB according to ikonia. | 16:18 |
| ikonia | latenubuntu: then contact them - that is not an ubuntu 8.04 install | 16:18 |
| binarymutant | MiLLeN, did you change the name back to foo.bin? if so: sudo sh foo.bin | 16:18 |
| amanu | any upto if 4 gb arent available? | 16:18 |
| ikonia | amanu: what ? | 16:18 |
| amanu | softwares | 16:18 |
| Flash | <latenubuntu> hosting company ?? pm me the link please | 16:19 |
| ikonia | amanu: the repo is 70+ gig of data - you need 70+ gig of free space and high bandwidth network connection to keep it up to date | 16:19 |
| amanu | ohh no just upto 4 gb is enough | 16:19 |
| ikonia | amanu: you can't do that | 16:19 |
| ikonia | amanu: you need all or nothing | 16:19 |
| latenubuntu | ikonia what the problem with this version? | 16:19 |
| ikonia | latenubuntu: it's not an ubuntu kernel, nor does it sound like a 8.04 release | 16:19 |
| Slim | Hello. I'm trying to connect to a printer in my office thats on a server. In order to access it you have to be connected to the share folder on the server. i can connect to the mapped network drive (shared folder), but all of my attempts to connect to the printer have failed. Any ideas? | 16:19 |
| ikonia | latenubuntu: contact your hosting company for support | 16:20 |
| Flash | latenubuntu who knows, its not an official release | 16:20 |
| noobem | hello all | 16:20 |
| Activewrk | ikonia: trying this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1866807&postcount=1 at this point ~$ sudo /etc/rc.local start it errorsrs with no such file or dir | 16:20 |
| MiLLeN | binarymutant: yes, i change "foo" to "foo.bin" and do "sudo sh ./foo.bin | 16:20 |
| oCean_ | amanu: as I told you, you cannot just have a part of the repository. | 16:20 |
| binarymutant | MiLLeN, that should work then | 16:20 |
| noobem | i would kindly need some help installing a wacom tablet on 8.10 | 16:20 |
| MiLLeN | binarymutant: no | 16:20 |
| MiLLeN | say me "not found" | 16:20 |
| amanu | isint like xp softwares available here that can be just downloaded and can be runned on any machine having ubuntu? | 16:21 |
| binarymutant | MiLLeN, pastebin it, type ls first | 16:21 |
| petllama | noobem, my wacom just worked | 16:21 |
| ikonia | amanu: no, due to dependencies | 16:21 |
| petllama | didnt have to do anything, altho, i didnt test it too much | 16:21 |
| nbuntu | http://paste.ubuntu.com/111269/ can someone help with this area | 16:21 |
| arthurmaciel | erUSUL: sorry to interrupt you, but I suppose grub is still installed on MBR. Can I create the populate the /boot directory on the same partition of / and point the grub to there? | 16:21 |
| MiLLeN | if i do "file foo" or "file foo.bin" say me "foo.bin: cpio archive" | 16:21 |
| Gnea | latenubuntu: yeah, you need to talk to your hosting company. clearly, they tailored your ubuntu for you, therefore they should be supporting it. | 16:21 |
| ikonia | amanu: you either have to know the software you want (aptoncd will be your tool) or make a full repo | 16:21 |
| slippyr4 | hi all. i've managed to get the kernel to find my wifi card by installing the madwifi-hal . Isn't there usually a gnome applet up on the top near the clock to automate connecting to networks etc? what package would I need to install for that? | 16:21 |
| afmacedo | Slart: the only way I found to add stuff to the System menu was patching "gnome-panel" | 16:21 |
| noobem | petllama: mine doesnt. not detected by system | 16:21 |
| afmacedo | unfortunatelly | 16:21 |
| amanu | well cant i just download dependencies if needed? | 16:21 |
| MiLLeN | binarymutant: paste bin what? | 16:21 |
| ikonia | amanu: yes, but then you need to know the software you want to install | 16:21 |
| amanu | by getting pack from friend | 16:21 |
| arthurmaciel | erUSUL: can I install GRUB on the /boot* | 16:21 |
| ikonia | amanu: and if you can "just download" you may as well just use the online repo | 16:21 |
| Gnea | latenubuntu: if it's something that doesn't have to do with the kernel, we would be able to help | 16:21 |
| ikonia | amanu: a pack from your friend ? | 16:22 |
| arthurmaciel | erUSUL: being /boot inside of / partition? | 16:22 |
| binarymutant | MiLLeN, the stuff in your terminal so I can see what your doing, because I really don't know what your trying to do | 16:22 |
| latenubuntu | gnea how can i know if it is ? | 16:22 |
| MiLLeN | binarymutant: okey | 16:22 |
| noobem | i can see wacom tablet w lsub | 16:22 |
| noobem | lsusb | 16:22 |
| arthurmaciel | erUSUL: what I mean is: does the /boot directory needs to be on a separate partition? | 16:22 |
| amanu | means my friend can download any software if needed for me and ill install it my net connection is slow :p | 16:22 |
| binarymutant | MiLLeN, thanks | 16:22 |

| oCean_ | amanu: no, that's not how the repos work | 16:22 |
| ikonia | amanu: then he needs to use aptoncd and you need to tell him what software you want | 16:22 |

| petllama | err.. administration | 16:23 |
| nbuntu | petllama: thats where it says they are not in use | 16:23 |
| ikonia | amanu: your not listening - if you are going to install the dependencies, you should just use the repo's your self | 16:23 |
| nbuntu | petllama: but it says they are installed | 16:23 |
| petllama | does it say sctivate on the bottom? | 16:23 |
| petllama | activate | 16:24 |

| ikonia | latenubuntu: please contact your hosting provider for support | 16:24 |
| Gnea | latenubuntu: standard ubuntu kernels look something like this: Linux version 2.6.27-11-generic | 16:24 |
| arthurmaciel | can anyone send me the kernel and initrd files please?? | 16:24 |
| maverick340 | is there any decent media player which has a simple media lib and yet drag-drop-play support | 16:25 |
| Gnea | latenubuntu: we aren't even using 2.6.28 yet | 16:25 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: if you can't boot your box, how do you expect to put the kernel on the box | 16:25 |
| arthurmaciel | ikonia: I can't boot the box, because I've deleted the kernel, but I'm using it. I have not rebooted yet. | 16:25 |
| maverick340 | i have tried exail and rhytmbox , exail is buggy and rhythmbox sucks at drag-drop | 16:25 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: if you have corruprted your /boot directory I suggest you either use the repair option on the cd - or re-install | 16:25 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: re-install the linux-image package | 16:25 |
| amanu | i had heard of we can make changes to ur linux and can edit it as per our wish but how? | 16:25 |
| maverick340 | audio-player btw | 16:25 |
| arthurmaciel | ikonia: with apt-get? | 16:25 |
| binarymutant | MiLLeN, it's still compressed with cpio, did you make foo.bin? | 16:26 |
| Flash | latenubuntu, if you installed a modded OS of ubuntu we cant help you period. | 16:26 |

| binarymutant | MiLLeN, well I would distrust the source of where you got it. It's compressed with cpio right now | 16:27 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: you'll need to update your grub install too | 16:27 |
| oCean_ | amanu: please elaborate. Explain what it is that you want to accomplish | 16:27 |
| amanu | i am talking about making changes to a operating system | 16:27 |
| oCean_ | amanu: changes like what? | 16:27 |
| arthurmaciel | ikonia: the problem is this. I have deleted /dev/sda2, re-created it and I cannot mount | 16:27 |
| ikonia | amanu: you log a bug / feature request | 16:27 |
| amanu | raheem : welll did u get me? | 16:27 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: why can you not mount ? | 16:27 |
| MiLLeN | binarymutant: ok, i have to install cpio? | 16:27 |
| amanu | change like making changes to operating system kernel | 16:27 |

| raheem | amanu, u r talking about all the hypes in the media.. but, that's if u have enough skills to do the changes.. otherwise, u got to depend on a standard distro | 16:28 |

| oCean_ | amanu: but probably few will help you if you do | 16:29 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: ahhh your disk is in use so it won't have re-read the TOC | 16:29 |
| raheem | amanu, learn the basics, learn c++, python, plus a few other languages ;) | 16:29 |
| amanu | raheem also would like to know the procedure to do it | 16:29 |
| arthurmaciel | ikonia: that's it. | 16:29 |
| arthurmaciel | ikonia: any idea on how to do it? | 16:29 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: nothing you can do | 16:29 |
| arthurmaciel | ikonia: gee. | 16:29 |
| amanu | i know c/c++ basics | 16:29 |
| ikonia | amanu: there is no procedure, it's very complex and you have to understand a lot about linux / kernel / c++ | 16:29 |
| arthurmaciel | ikonia: can't I create another partition and use it? | 16:29 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: not if the disk is in use | 16:30 |

| arthurmaciel | ikonia: to mount a new partition the kernel file (that I deleted) has to read again? | 16:35 |

| ikonia | amanu: those channels are not for "new" users but for serious discussion | 16:36 |
| amanu | ok | 16:36 |
| arthurmaciel | ikonia: but why can't it re-read the toc? is it because I deleted the kernel file? is the toc located inside the kernel file? (don't understand much about this) | 16:36 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: no - it's because that disk is in use | 16:36 |
| rafaelscj | Flash, what version is your flashplugin-nonfree package? i am doing a apt-get update... | 16:36 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: your / partition is running of it, so the disk sis "locked" or "in use" so it can't re-read it | 16:36 |

| amanu | ok | 16:39 |
| vegombrei | oCean_: thats what i did .. but i was importing like 20000 pictures .. then i clicked cancel and unchecked that option to copy to photos folder ... dont want duplicates so i wanna find that folder where its been copying them | 16:39 |

| imps | Hey guys, how do I turn SHMconfig to 'true' ? | 16:43 |
| oCean_ | lwizardl: that wil overwrite the existing contents of that file. Using "ls -al >> file.txt" will append output to existing file | 16:43 |
| ikonia | imps: what makes you think that's a valid linux setting ? | 16:44 |
| ikonia | imps: I don't recognise that one, shm should be enabled by default | 16:44 |
| imps | You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics | 16:44 |

| ironfroggy_ | should dhclient be able to get an IP for a wlan interface or is there something else i need to specifically kick it to say "connect to the AP over there!" | 16:48 |
| raheem | ironfroggy_, can't u use NetworkManager for that ? | 16:48 |
| carlo___ | Hi, and thanks for being here! I've got a question about building Ubuntu packages... you know, nothing fancy, just been building a lot of software that's not in the repos and want to share them to ease the wait for people... | 16:48 |
| arthurmaciel | ikonia: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/re-read-the-partition-table-without-rebooting-linux-system.html <-- do you believe is it? | 16:48 |
| ironfroggy_ | raheem: its not installed. | 16:49 |
| raheem | the usual command to connect to an AP is as follows.. assuming your interface is wlan0 | 16:49 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: possible | 16:50 |
| ironfroggy_ | raheem: thats why ive configured it manually (via iwconfig) | 16:50 |
| ikonia | arthurmaciel: partprobe is certainly valid | 16:50 |
| arthurmaciel | ikonia: well, this is what gparted uses... the error message is the same | 16:50 |

| ironfroggy_ | ive done that, too. | 16:51 |
| raheem | ironfroggy_, then, dhclient wlan0 | 16:51 |
| ironfroggy_ | it gives no errors, but seems to do nothing. dhclient isnt able to get a lease, either. | 16:51 |
| raheem | ironfroggy_, did u try iwlist scan wlan0 ? | 16:51 |

| Joker_-_ | I read a lot of "stories" about that bug and apparently no one has a clear fix other than "reboot and pray" wich gets me way too close of the windows way. I hate to think you have to reboot to fix a problem in linux. | 17:00 |

| ikonia | butt: use gparted | 17:10 |

| BuckWild | anybody have any idea what was in the new linux headers or whatever | 17:35 |
| BuckWild | the only way I could get my computer to start was to use grub to go back to the previous version | 17:36 |

| hoonteke | Flash: oh, I'm with you on that point. It's a good point. But there often /is/ a need to critique code or offer suggestions, and the rubric I've heard is < 3 lines is okay. So what *should* folks do with one-liners with which they need help? | 17:36 |
| BuckWild | sipior, it happens everytime I start the computer, looks like something about paging and virtual memory | 17:37 |

| sipior | BuckWild: do you specify any boot options for your kernels? | 17:43 |
| BuckWild | sipior, so I'm not sure exactly what the difference is between recovery mode and normal boot, but when I booted into recovery mode and got the prompt I hit resume normal boot and it works | 17:43 |

| ardchoille | Qtpaxa: No problems with OO.o here but I don't use any kde apps | 17:51 |
| cristi | usr13: no, that's not really the issue. The issue is that it jams at around 6% and doesnt allow me to start the x server, and the login is not correct for some reason. So if there's no other way, i'd rather disable this scan so i won't have to do it manually all the time | 17:51 |

| martin_ | hi, how to add a new command to the options that pop up when you click on a file with the right mouse button (want to add command to enqueue music file in totem)? | 18:08 |

| s0101 | ok | 18:08 |
| Baz_ | hi i am using *revelation* password manager and one of its benefits is that it "can access remote files via gnome-vfs" - basically that I can access my passwords thru ssh... how do I go about using gnome-vfs to do this? | 18:08 |
| eoke | s0101: I believe that to be the case yes | 18:08 |

| jeremie | Hi...yesterday, in hardy 8.04, kernel upgrades 2.6.24.23.46 >> .48 made my machine die of kernel panic after reboot. I reverted back to old packages through synaptic>>force version via older kernel. so now it's OK, but it still hurts. what should i do? | 18:10 |
| eoke | s0101: Will that help | 18:10 |
| BleSS | jeremie: hemanth: thanks | 18:10 |
| maco | Baz_: it was replaced with gvfs a few releases ago | 18:10 |
| s0101 | thats come before user account login | 18:10 |
| hemanth | BleSS, np | 18:10 |
| \kira | tweak66: okay? Do you know what it is? | 18:10 |

| martin_ | maco, thanks:) | 18:10 |
| tweak66 | anyone remember the search command from cli to search packages? | 18:10 |
| maco | s0101: if you want easy ssh logins, use seahorse (applications -> accessories -> passwords and encryption keys) and setup an ssh key to go to it | 18:11 |
| Baz_ | maco, oh really... do u think I could then use that to do what I am looking for, or is it non-transferable? | 18:11 |
| isido | tweak66: apt-cache search name? | 18:11 |
| maco | Baz_: er that was at you | 18:11 |
| maco | s0101: sorry | 18:11 |
| hemanth | BleSS, http://www.conceptdraw.com/en/products/cd5/ap_organigram.php | 18:11 |
| svalenci | I wish I could get paltalk working on ubunto lol | 18:11 |

| tweak66 | lmao | 18:11 |
| martin_ | another question, i have to use a proxy connection with authorization - and the problem is that i have configured all proxy settings and event then updates and symantec cannot connect, any idea why? | 18:12 |
| maco | Baz_: setup an ssh key with seahorse, and let seahorse configure the remote server for you. then when you ssh to it, seahorse will automaically log you in | 18:12 |
| filthpig | I have a weird problem. I'm trying to boot ubuntu from a usb device, and I have told bios that usb dev is first boot device etc etc, but as long as I leave ie cdrom and hard disk bootable (second and third boot dev) it skips to harddisk automatically, and if I disable hdd and cdrom completely I get "Boot error, no system installed" or something to that effect... This is an old computer, and it has IDE drives if that helps determine the proble | 18:12 |

| \kira | tweak66: apt-cache search smartctl | 18:12 |
| BleSS | hemanth: thanks but I only use free/open software | 18:12 |
| \kira | tweak66: :) | 18:12 |
| Baz_ | maco, its not for ssh login... its a password manager for my bank accounts, my ebay login, etc... I would like to be able to access those passwords if i am not at my computer, securely... | 18:12 |
| tweak66 | kirs: what is that package? | 18:12 |
| tweak66 | kira* | 18:12 |
| \kira | tweak66: thanks, thats going to be REALLY useful in the future, the package was smartmontools | 18:13 |

| hemanth | BleSS, is the best for u then :) | 18:13 |
| \kira | tweak66: opps, double :| | 18:13 |
| maco | Baz_: oh. i thought you meant it held your ssh passwords for you. no...i dont think there's any way to make gvfs act enough like gnome-vfs for it. youd have to use gnome 2.20 (gutsy) to get gnome-vfs | 18:13 |
| topsub | Is there a video recorder like fraps for windows for ubuntu? | 18:14 |
| maco | Baz_: gutsy is going end of life (no more security updates, no more repositories) in april though | 18:14 |

| ergZay | I'm looking at the Software Sources administration window, under Updates there is "Recommended Updates." It has a '-' on the checkbox instead of a check, what does this mean? | 18:19 |
| carpii | khuram, just explain whats wrong. youre making it too difficult for us to help you | 18:19 |
| khuram | ok | 18:19 |
| bullgard4 | \kira: The domain in the same LAN should be same, should it not? | 18:19 |
| khuram | whats main thing for hosting | 18:19 |

| carpii | you want a webserver presumably | 18:20 |
| jeremie | _vi_>>same here | 18:20 |
| jeremie | i kernel panicked after upgrade | 18:20 |
| svalenci | I think so too carpii | 18:20 |
| carpii | when you installed ubuntu server it would have asked what sort of thigns you want to install | 18:20 |
| mo7 | khuram, what do you want to host? there are too many options to just say "install this or that" | 18:20 |
| vigo | _Vi_ : I was unaware of an update,,but will look now.... | 18:20 |
| _Vi_ | jeremie: that's my fear :/ | 18:20 |

| \kira | bullgard4: I get two different outputs, aswell | 18:20 |

| jeremie | I reverted, now will wait a few days and see... | 18:21 |

| bullgard4 | \kira: Hm. | 18:21 |
| jeremie | every linux-headers + llinux-images >> force version >> downgrade | 18:22 |
| Light- | nogeek1: you need to be root to format drives. the permissions will be root if you mounted it as root | 18:22 |

| carpii | khuram, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers | 18:22 |

| _VIM_ | rafaelscj: have you tried installing ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 18:46 |
| erUSUL | Jinxed--: nope | 18:46 |
| nickrud | Jinxed--, no, you can use either 64 or 32 bit ubuntu | 18:46 |
| svalenci | ubunto runs in 64bit as well just look for the right package | 18:46 |
| Scunizi | Jinxed--: no.. what happens is your boot manager is replaced with grub so you'll have a choice on boot where you want to go. | 18:46 |
| Flash | rafaelscj, so you cannot use or install flash at all? i dont know what else to do for you | 18:46 |
| rafaelscj | _VIM_, still no | 18:46 |
| neosuki | O__o: in ubuntu, which appln do u use for remote desktop? | 18:46 |
| Flash | im all out of ideas | 18:46 |
| nickrud | Jinxed--, dual boot means exactly that: whatever os you boot is in complete control independently of the other os | 18:47 |
| eoke | neosuki: Try rdesktop | 18:47 |
| svalenci | and you can virtualize windows so you can use both at the same time or do a dual boot but you wont be able to use both at the same time | 18:47 |
| _VIM_ | rafaelscj: type 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' No quotes | 18:47 |
| neosuki | O__o: please try with tsclient or krdc | 18:47 |
| O__o | neosuki, the one in system | preference | remote desktop | 18:47 |
| Flash | I never heard of the problems your having rafaelscj | 18:47 |
| cristi | usr13: http://pastebin.com/m2715a582 | 18:47 |
| cristi | usr13: there were a lot of each example | 18:47 |
| Light- | nogeek1: you usually need to change the permissions on the directory where your drive is mounted to be owned by your user, and rwx. go to a terminal and type "sudo chown -R username /media/mountpoint && sudo chmod -R 777 /media/mountpoint" where username is your username and /media/mountpoint is the place where the drive is mounted. ideally you'd add an entry to fstab, google for a howto | 18:47 |
| rafaelscj | _VIM_, okay | 18:48 |
| rafaelscj | Flash, anyway thanks | 18:48 |
| woli | is it a good idea to run ubuntu from a windows vm? | 18:48 |
| O__o | i want something like vnc server run in xubuntu | 18:48 |
| woli | O__o, get gitso | 18:48 |
| Qtpaxa | woli: if u wanna test | 18:48 |
| nickrud | woli, it's a fine idea, except you won't be able to use the pretty eye candy. Which is overhyped imho | 18:48 |
| svalenci | as long as you back it up yes. I dont see why not woli. | 18:49 |
| woli | will i be able to use compiz? | 18:49 |
| Flash | woli> is it a good idea to run ubuntu from a windows vm?.....you should run linux off of a windows vm | 18:49 |
| woli | my vm *virtualbox* has 3d acceleration for opengl | 18:49 |
| bazhang | woli, no | 18:49 |
| O__o | i checked the command in system | preferences | remote desktop, it is vino-preferences | 18:49 |
| svalenci | yes woli. | 18:49 |
| woli | i will be able? nice! | 18:49 |
| Flash | sorry, i mean run windows off linux vm | 18:49 |
| O__o | but running vino-preferences in xubuntu doesnt work | 18:49 |
| svalenci | no? | 18:49 |
| Scunizi | prakriti: ok.. System>Admin>SynapticPkg Manager>Edit>Mark Packages by Task> Choose what you want here. | 18:50 |
| svalenci | why not? vm is like running two different systems | 18:50 |
| svalenci | slaps baz* lol | 18:50 |
| eoke | woli you might also want to consider wubi | 18:50 |
| eoke | !wubi | woli | 18:50 |
| ubottu | woli: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 18:50 |
| O__o | is remote desktop in ubuntu the same as vnc? | 18:50 |
| Flash | woli, i like to run other OS"s on thumb drives from linux on vm"s | 18:51 |
| SiDi | O__o: remote desktop is VNC | 18:51 |
| nickrud | woli, if you decide on wubi, be sure to use the exact instructions, including all the defrag stuff. | 18:51 |
| O__o | because the remote desktop in windows isnt the same as vnc | 18:51 |
| cristi | usr13: ok, i guess you're not here anymore | 18:51 |
| O__o | so i got confuse here | 18:51 |
| SiDi | O__o: windows doesn't understand vnc, but there are vnc servers and clients for windows | 18:51 |
| Gustavo_G | ubottu rules. | 18:51 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rules. | 18:51 |
| fluitfries | anyone able to run Photoshop CS4 decently under VirtualBox? (winxp guest/xubuntu host) | 18:51 |
| eoke | O__o: Remote desktop in windows is based on terminal services, Remote Desktop in Ubuntu is VNC pretty much | 18:51 |
| svalenci | they are both remote desktops but used to connect to different systems... vnc is more for windows to linux and remote is windows to windows. | 18:51 |
| SiDi | O__o: for using VNC, you use a client to log on a server. And then you can use the PC on which the server is running | 18:51 |
| Gustavo_G | that was rules the verb and not the noun. | 18:51 |
| ballarina | w | 18:51 |
| cristi | fluitfries: cs2 works fine in wine | 18:52 |
| nickrud | fluitfries, totally off topic (and sorta) | 18:52 |
| O__o | so which vnc server is best for xubuntu? | 18:52 |
| fluitfries | nickrud: why off topic? i'm looking for ways to optimize my xubuntu/VirtualBox installation. | 18:52 |
| _VIM_ | !best | 18:52 |
| 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. | 18:52 |
| woli | i want to run side-by-side. The reason for which I chose to run linux from windows was because I need windows' fun and games | 18:52 |
| thehook | an yone tested CS4 under wine? its getting gold and platinum on winehq.org | 18:52 |
| O__o | does xubuntu come with default vnc like ubuntu does? | 18:52 |
| Gnea | !vnc | 18:53 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 18:53 |
| SiDi | O__o: hm let me have a look at the list of servers. you should have one installed but disabled by default | 18:53 |
| nickrud | fluitfries, cs4 is offtopic since it's a windows app. actual ubuntu support questions are welcome here. | 18:53 |
| vexue | so does anyone know anything about hidef 720 movie files? | 18:53 |

| erUSUL | vexue: do « file moviefile » | 18:54 |
| On0bi | what do I do when a launcher i made won't run a program? | 18:54 |
| Gnea | thehook: #winehq would be a better place to ask | 18:54 |
| fluitfries | nickrud: you can't ignore the host os when it comes to virtualization. i'm running xfce for a reason. so i'm still not clear on why you think i'm looking for help with CS4. I'm looking for help in speeding up virtualization... | 18:54 |
| fluitfries | nickrud: but i appreciate your answer. :) | 18:54 |
| svalenci | I think crt + f2 | 18:54 |
| nickrud | fluitfries, it's an appropriate question for #ubuntu-offtopic, since it does relate to ubuntu but doesn't relate entirely to ubuntu | 18:54 |
| svalenci | type the name of the program | 18:54 |
| svalenci | and enter | 18:54 |

| Mil_Arg | x11vnc is my server in puppylinux | 18:56 |
| Scunizi | chetnick: www.localhost:631 for cups control panel. typically some printers you have to adjust there. | 18:56 |
| svalenci | onobi make sure to check the permissions... | 18:56 |
| _VIM_ | ohhh yeah x11vnc is nice too i forgot bout that one! | 18:56 |
| Mil_Arg | for old pc | 18:56 |
| O__o | so apt-get install X11vnc will do? | 18:56 |
| neosuki | O__o: didn't u try tsclient? | 18:56 |
| SiDi | Well yeh install x11vnc then, can't remember the name of the gnomish one :P | 18:56 |
| svalenci | make sure it is executable and all that fun stuff | 18:56 |
| O__o | i want server not client | 18:57 |
| nickrud | O__o, the real good helpers that hang out in #xubuntu seem to be the europeans; check during their daytime | 18:57 |
| _VIM_ | dont forget 'sudo' O__o | 18:57 |

| mighty-d | Hi | 20:41 |
| Xamusk | so, what's *the* FS these days? is ext4 stable enough? | 20:42 |
| trae | _VIM_, thanks mate | 20:42 |
| _VIM_ | np | 20:42 |
| pbuckley | ive been using ext4 for a couple days now and it seems to be fine | 20:42 |
| Joeseph | if I wanted to restore default options to the gstreamer package..... would I use the command "sudo apt-get purge gstreamer" and then "sudo apt-get install gstreamer"? | 20:42 |
| mogwai | ext4 is to be included with Jaunty | 20:43 |
| ficko | cr4z3d, that looks good except i apt-get installed all this. What i ideally want is for the www-data account (Created by apt), to be able to write in public_html of any users account! The configuration you get after apt-get install apache, apache cannot write anywhere which cause problems with php | 20:43 |
| Xamusk | I just ask because I'm about to install a new system and want to know what to use | 20:43 |
| Xamusk | currently I use reiserfs | 20:43 |
| _VIM_ | trae: you becareful with clonezilla though, I once ruined a 350 gig external HDD with it. | 20:43 |
| pbuckley | how big is the filesystem? | 20:43 |
| mogwai | sudo apt-get --purge remove | 20:43 |
| trae | _VIM_, really? | 20:43 |
| _VIM_ | lost everything | 20:43 |
| Xamusk | about 200GB | 20:43 |
| pbuckley | is it a production system? | 20:44 |
| Xamusk | it's my laptop | 20:44 |
| pbuckley | go for ext4 then :) | 20:44 |
| kouya | does "sudo apt-get remove ...." every installed file? what is useually left behind after you uninstall a package? | 20:44 |
| mighty-d | i have a very weird problem, i have a ltsp enviroment on gutsy for some time now, i use openldap to make pam auth against, now it says : "i have no name!" when i try to log in, but if i do # getent passwd i can see both my uid and name | 20:44 |
| Xamusk | one could say it's a production system in some way, since it greatly affects my production | 20:44 |

| Xintruder | is there an automated back up method I can use with ubuntu? | 20:45 |

| _VIM_ | sbackup is really nice | 20:47 |

| jX1 | i need help adding vista to the bootloader | 20:49 |
| pbuckley | you mean grub? | 20:49 |
| _VIM_ | cr4z3d: isnt that chown <User> www-data /home/*/public_html? | 20:49 |
| jX1 | yeah | 20:49 |
| pbuckley | like /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 20:49 |
| Xamusk | _VIM_, how do I get that simple backup config? | 20:49 |
| _VIM_ | err <user><group> | 20:49 |

| ikonia | latenubuntu: you've been told to contact your ISP/hosting provider about your ubuntu install, it is not a stock install, your ISP has customised it, we can't support it | 20:50 |

| redvamp128 | quick question-- does anyone know where I can find the changelog for the kernel updates | 20:50 |
| cr4z3d | _VIM_: yeah it looks like you should do chown user:group /home/*/public_html but i didn't have an issue changing permissions by just specifying the user | 20:51 |
| Xamusk | _VIM_, thanks... I'll take a look at it... usually I use rsync for backup | 20:51 |
| _VIM_ | redvamp128: maybe ask in #ubuntu-dev i think it's called | 20:51 |
| _VIM_ | cr4z3d: ah ok cool :) | 20:51 |
| jX1 | so does anyone know how to dual boot w/vista using fakeraid ? | 20:51 |

| kfogel | thebishop: audacity? | 20:53 |
| soreau | test | 20:53 |
| hatter243 | _VIM_, red triangle or red down arrow? | 20:53 |
| redvamp128 | last night I clicked the more info -- and it said unavailible | 20:53 |
| mogwai | thebishop: You could try Audacity | 20:53 |
| n838901 | i am having problems installing updates in 8.10 server. is there a problem with the repos? | 20:53 |
| _VIM_ | hatter243: looked like a triangle to me | 20:53 |
| _VIM_ | heh | 20:53 |
| thebishop | kfogel, meh, that's a pretty heavyweight app. I've got a bunch of wavs I want to be mp3, but sometimes i have flac. isn't there some lightweight app that can batch process? | 20:53 |
| thebishop | kfogel, i used to have a nautilus script that did it | 20:54 |
| kfogel | thebishop: I don't know. It may be possible to drive audacity in batch mode; I haven't looked into it myself though. | 20:54 |
| mogwai | thebishop: but it depends on what format the file is in and what format you want to convert it to | 20:54 |
| hatter243 | _VIM_, I was wondering if you got your pidgin/ubuntu away icon scambled ~_^ | 20:54 |
| _VIM_ | hatter243: i dont use pidgin | 20:54 |
| jimi_hendrix | is Gstream legal in the US? | 20:55 |

| Joeseph | hi. I have installed the jack gstreamer plugin and was wondering how to get rid of it... any ideas? | 20:55 |
| _VIM_ | Joeseph: you dont see it in synaptic when you search "JACK" or "Gstreamer"? | 20:56 |
| mogwai | Use synaptic? | 20:56 |
| jX1 | im having problems with synaptic too...i used to be able to search "amarok" in the synaptic manager and other programs and it would show me them, but now no third party apps work? | 20:56 |
| _VIM_ | Joeseph: or what shows up when you type gstream and press TAB a couple times? | 20:57 |
| _VIM_ | in a terminal | 20:57 |
| Joeseph | _VIM_: No I do not. | 20:57 |
| Xamusk | is there any way to install ext4 with intrepid? | 20:57 |

| annaimkonki | dragonmaster: i thinks its a bug flash... i did a 8.04 clean install and flash was not good... i remove every flash + restricted sw and reinstall... starting w/adobe flash | 21:05 |
| _VIM_ | kouya: I think it depends on the package. not too sure really beyond that | 21:05 |
| annaimkonki | and then installing all other restricted sw later | 21:05 |
| SAJMIRI | guntbert where can i find network manager applet? | 21:05 |
| n838901 | sajmiri: run 'ifconfig' from the terminal and see what you get | 21:06 |

| _VIM_ | kouya: do this... 'sudo updatedb' then do 'locate APPnameGoesHere' taht should tell you where an app has it's config files | 21:08 |
| guntbert | SAJMIRI: the netmask is the same (24 means 24 bit = 255.255.255.0) | 21:09 |

| methadone | guys, I've just updated to the latest kernel (updates that came today) and suddenly X won't recognize my graphics drivers (I've been using the nVIDIA forceware from their website). I was wondering if there was a way to remove these forceware drivers, revert to using the generic nv driver that originally came w/ 8.10 and then get the proprietary drivers that ubuntu suggests | 21:11 |
| YankDownUnder | methadone, What about just renaming yer xorg.conf and letting the system recreate it on the fly...??? | 21:11 |
| chocobanana | methadone: probably the nvidia driver was not recompiled for the new kernel. | 21:12 |
| guntbert | SAJMIRI: I want to be sure I understand your needs - you said you typed IP and netmask. Where did you type that? | 21:12 |
| pbuckley | is there a decent 64 bit adobe flash player yet? | 21:12 |
| wad | Any way to view a visio document? | 21:12 |

| sd32 | is there a good wallpaper utility for ubuntu? | 21:12 |
| chocobanana | methadone: replace nvidia with nv | 21:12 |
| nonidentity | yes there is a 64 bit flafh goto adobe and download | 21:12 |
| YankDownUnder | pbuckley, Is there a decent ANY BIT Adobe program? | 21:12 |
| methadone | that's all the forceware installation does? | 21:12 |
| chocobanana | methadone: it's best to stick with the repository nvidia driver | 21:13 |
| methadone | yup that's what I'm planning on doing | 21:13 |
| methadone | from now on ;p | 21:13 |

| methadone | Guys, after installing the new kernel my nvidia.com downloaded drivers fail to run. I uninstalled them using nvidia-installer --uninstall and removed the xorg.conf file (which made the system create a new config file, which worked, but without visual effects. So I started the "Hardware Drivers" application and selected the drivers on there. For some reason, I still can't enable visual effects. The System -> Appearance -> Visual Eff | 21:45 |
| methadone | ects -> Extra gives a "Desktop effects could not be enabled".. any ideas how I can revert to system-defaults or something? | 21:45 |

| n8tuser | d0netsFN -> you mentioned you have loaded the driver, you verified with sudo lshw -C network ? | 21:51 |
| subsume | isaak: you usually have to use sudo to do apt-get stuffs | 21:51 |
| subsume | isaak: so add sudo to the beginning of the INTERNET CODEZ that whoever gave you | 21:51 |
| isaak | subsume, i know but i cant use it still | 21:51 |
| subsume | isaak: what error message you running into? | 21:51 |
| isaak | subsume, gives me the error | 21:51 |

| isaak | subsume, give me a moment | 21:52 |
| iPeter- | n8tuser, Could you give some words what to google to get best and right results? | 21:52 |
| n8tuser | iPeter- -> id start with fstab+mount+partitions | 21:53 |
| isaak | subsume, E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 21:53 |
| yoyit2 | hi i am trying to find a hidden folder how do i see hidden folders | 21:53 |
| subsume | isaak: typing sudo dpkg --configure -a gives you that message??? | 21:53 |
| n2diy | guntbert: it worked | 21:53 |
| n8tuser | yoyit2 -> normally just ls -la in the current directory | 21:53 |
| redvamp128 | yoyit2: in nautilus -- view- then show hidden files. | 21:54 |
| guntbert | n2diy: glad :), I'll remember it for the future | 21:54 |
| isaak | subsume, nevermind i included the quotes | 21:54 |
| isaak | subsume, thats why | 21:54 |
| blakejust | Ok, so I tried rebooting and it went to the black screen with the loading cursor again, and I pressed ctrl alt f1 and it showed a login prompt. so I logged in and typed startx, and it gave me the error: "Failed to initialize GLX extension (compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)" So I figure X updated or something and now my nvidia driver is no longer compatible. How would I fix this? | 21:54 |

| n8tuser | iPeter- -> if your bios detected them sudo fdisk -l | 21:55 |
| yoyit2 | redvamp128: whats nautilus | 21:55 |
| isaak | subsume, what does that mean? | 21:55 |

The box isnt responding to dev, only to IP - is there anything obvious I should check? :) | 21:58 |
| redvamp128 | yoyit2: just open up a terminal type natilus and it should open the file manger -- provided you are running ubuntu and not xubuntu or kubuntu | 21:58 |
| MK-ubuntu | jrwren: I tried, but the hard drive doesnt show, | 21:58 |
| jrwren | MK-ubuntu: my guess is that your XP cd is old and doesn't have required SATA drivers or something like that. You will need to slipstream an XP cd with the correct drivers. | 21:59 |
| MK-ubuntu | 흠.. | 21:59 |

| osubuck | i tried it before but i need more instructions | 22:00 |
| vock | yoyit2: it's nautilus | 22:00 |
| redvamp128 | yoyit2: not a good idea to run that in sudo | 22:00 |
| Krstnsn | if i were to say type "sudo python setup.py install" where does the actually "setup.py" files need to be? | 22:00 |
| guntbert | yoyit2: dont use sudo with graphical apps! | 22:00 |
| guntbert | !gksu | 22:00 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 22:00 |

| Krstnsn | doesnt work | 22:01 |
| Krstnsn | says the file doesnt exist | 22:01 |
| redvamp128 | yoyit2: just "nautilus" and it will open up in your home folder-- then from there -- click on the view-- then the "view hidden files"-- nautilus will then refresh and show you the "." files | 22:01 |

| danbhfive | GarkoDarko: can you link to the movie? | 22:33 |
| linux_guy | chewyTree, do you have experience with iptables? | 22:33 |
| GarkoDarko | danbhfive, i do not no if the site that host the movie is legal to post here or not ? | 22:34 |
| BenSmith | I was interested in installing Ubuntu Server on my pc which has two harddrives in RAID 0, running Vista x64. Can I install the server on one hdd and use the extra space for the server space? | 22:34 |
| isaak | redvamp128, i typed sudo cd Desktop alien -k pipslite-1.3.0-2.i386.rpm | 22:34 |
| meoblast001 | hi... i'm looking to set up my moms account on my system to shut down after 15 minutes of inactivity... my mom often likes to walk away from my computer while leaving it on if i'm not home..... is there a way to do this? | 22:34 |
| isaak | redvamp128, is that right? | 22:34 |
| danbhfive | GarkoDarko: i guess you can pm it to me | 22:34 |
| yoyit2 | how do i make a linux network | 22:35 |
| Slart | BenSmith: yes, if your computer can handle the two drives as separate hard drives you can install the os on one of them | 22:35 |
| dras | i just installed ubuntu ... im installing from repositories and its SLOWWWWW | 22:35 |
| dras | why ? | 22:35 |

| jarlath | Slightly silly question but can I safely remove the nvidia-common package and it's dependencies (eg nvidia-71-modaliases) if I don't have an nvidia card? | 22:35 |
| Slart | BenSmith: are you using the raid function on the motherboard? | 22:35 |
| yoyit2 | i want to mkae a linux net work i have 3 computers with linux | 22:35 |
| redvamp128 | isaak: no need to sudo when you cd | 22:35 |
| isaak | oh ok | 22:35 |
| meoblast001 | yoyit2: file sharing networks are based mostly on the clients so just having multiple linux systems connected to the router with sharing daemons should work | 22:35 |
| BenSmith | Slart: yes | 22:36 |
| redvamp128 | isaak: but you may need to sudo when you run that .rpm to deb though | 22:36 |
| isaak | it says command not found | 22:36 |
| tomek | do you configure postgis on ubuntu? | 22:36 |
| IceWind | does anyone here uses Totem to play DVD movies? Any slowness detected? | 22:36 |
| isaak | how | 22:36 |
| chewyTree | now how do i make a conversation without doing a private chat, directing it towards one person? | 22:36 |
| yoyit2 | meoblast001: when i go to network it only shoes my windows net work i cant see my linux computers | 22:36 |
| isaak | redvamp128, where does the sudo go | 22:36 |
| meoblast001 | yoyit2: installing Samba should allow the 3 systems to use a windows network with eachother.... can't remember the name of the one for linux networks | 22:36 |
| subinacls | /msg <persons nick> | 22:36 |
| redvamp128 | isaak: it is-- cd Desktop | 22:36 |

| meoblast001 | yoyit2: if you have windows systems on the network.. i highly recommend samba | 22:36 |
| linux_guy | chewyTree, an easier alternative for me was called IPBlock | 22:36 |
| isaak | redvamp128, cd desktop sudo alien - k? | 22:37 |
| Slart | BenSmith: then look in your BIOS for some setting about treating the drives as RAID or as separate drives.. it might be called different things in different bios's but it ought to be in there somewhere | 22:37 |
| redvamp128 | isaak: then the sudo alien -k pipslite-1.3.0-2.i386.rpm | 22:37 |
| yoyit2 | can my windows computer connect to my linux computers | 22:37 |
| wolfey | apt-get remove --purge work most of time, but not this time | 22:37 |
| BenSmith | Slart: I should make the drive RAID 1? | 22:37 |

| isaak | redvamp128, it doesnt seem to have changed the file | 22:38 |
| Slart | yoyit2: you'll have to separate the networking from the services.. networking (tcp/ip and such) work without problems between windows and linux computers.. there is a standard.. but then there are services.. file sharing, authentication, im, ssh etc.. that's a different deal.. there you might get some problems working with windows and linux | 22:38 |

| wolfey | do i need to reinstall ubuntu? | 22:43 |
| wolfey | :) | 22:43 |
| isaak | redvamp128, ya i went to one of those sites they listed for the driver and now i am converting it so i can use it | 22:43 |
| Slart | yoyit2: ok.. the networking part is no problem.. the computer can talk to each other if you just connect them with a router or hub.. | 22:43 |
| IceWind | kaj, i do! | 22:43 |
| BenSmith | Slart: I'm currently transfering files, should take about a half an hour. But I have more questions do you mind answering them? | 22:43 |
| wikzo | I need help installing OpenDNS in Ubuntu 8.10. When I type "gksudo network-admin" I see a window for a few secs and then it shuts down. I have also tried to do like this guide suggest but there is no such "Unlock" button or DNS options (http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=576). Help! | 22:44 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: they are allready connected now what do i do my linux computer only sees windows computer not my other linux computer | 22:44 |
| Slart | yoyit2: sharing files over the network will be "file sharing", right?.. windows can only use "windows file sharing".. but linux, luckily is a bit more advanced and can work with both windows computers and linux computers | 22:44 |
| oCean_ | wolfey: say you've installed samba-common package. You can uninstall it by "apt-get purge samba-common" and also run "apt-get autoremove" | 22:44 |
| IceWind | and I'm using original DVD no copy... still the play is choppy | 22:44 |
| Slart | yoyit2: in linux you have to use samba to do "windows file sharing" | 22:44 |
| IceWind | sometime it evens looses the sound | 22:44 |
| mgolisch | wikzo: you should run it without sudo/gksu or whatever | 22:45 |
| Slart | yoyit2: how do you mean "see it"? | 22:45 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: ok but my linux computer doesent see my other linux computer | 22:45 |
| mgolisch | wikzo: then press the unlock button and enter your password there | 22:45 |
| redvamp128 | isaak: why didn't you just download this and use gdeb? http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/debian/dists/lsb3.1/main/binary-i386/gutenprint_5.0.1-1lsb3.1_i386.deb | 22:45 |

| wolfey | what to do with 'half-configured samba'... i want to clean EVERYTHING and reinstall? apt-get purge samba doesnt help ... install fails every time now.. do i need to reinstall ubuntu? | 22:45 |
| iPeter- | Hey | 22:46 |
| oCean_ | hey wolfey, I asked.. | 22:46 |
| isaak | redvamp128, wats that does it help ur scanner as well? | 22:46 |
| Slart | yoyit2: this whole "seeing the entire network" is also a windows networking thing.. installing samba will let linux computers see windows computers (and linux computers running samba) | 22:46 |
| wolfey | oCean_: sorry, what did you ask? | 22:46 |
| wikzo | mgolisch: Oh, now I know why I can't. It's because I have installed Wicd instead of the standard network-manager. Is there any other way to get OpenDNS? | 22:46 |
| iPeter- | What does cpu0 mean.. i mean i got quadcore, is cpu0 allcores together or what? | 22:46 |
| isaak | redvamp128, cuz my printer works fine but the scanner part does not | 22:46 |
| iPeter- | ps. im conffing conky | 22:46 |
| oCean_ | wolfey: scrollback a few lines... said about apt-get purge | 22:46 |
| redvamp128 | isaak: ahh -- I did a search for the file you are converting without the ending and this is where it lead me to | 22:46 |
| yoyit2 | slart ok can i acces a external hardrive form a dif computer useing samba | 22:46 |
| ice_cream | quadcore should have cpus 0-3 | 22:47 |
| Slart | yoyit2: you don't see googles computers in that list, right? can you still use google? | 22:47 |
| wolfey | ahh ok makes sense | 22:47 |
| iPeter- | ice_cream, Ok, thanks. | 22:47 |
| Slart | yoyit2: yes | 22:47 |
| yoyit2 | slart ya how do i install samba | 22:47 |
| BenSmith | Slart: Once I get this the server operating system working. Will I be able to set up a website on it? | 22:47 |
| mgolisch | wikzo: yeah you can set dns server in wicd too | 22:47 |
| Slart | !samba | yoyit2 | 22:47 |
| ubottu | yoyit2: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 22:47 |
| isaak | redvamp128, explicate its not the same file as the two i am dling | 22:47 |
| Slart | BenSmith: sure | 22:47 |
| yoyit2 | slart thanks for all your help | 22:47 |
| wolfey | oCean_: i have huge problems with printing, so i decided to start clean.. :) | 22:47 |
| Slart | BenSmith: you can install Apache for example | 22:48 |
| Slart | yoyit2: you're welcome | 22:48 |

| wikzo | mgolisch: I just check "Use global DNS servers" and type in the two servers written here? (https://www.opendns.com/homenetwork/start/device/ubuntu) | 22:48 |

| wolfey | oCean_: i didnt get it how purge didnt help.. no real message under /var/log/dpkg.log | 22:49 |
| Slart | BenSmith: hehe.. for someone that has done it before and knows what to do.. very easy.. for someone new to networking and new to windows networks.. could take 10 minutes.. could take a week =/ | 22:49 |
| isaak | redvamp128, thats exactly what i am doing right now | 22:50 |
| redvamp128 | isaak: as I said before you have to be actually in the directory that you are running alien in-- (been a while since I had to convert a file) but that is what I remember-- and I think your issue as to why it was not working | 22:50 |
| BenSmith | Slart: hahah Hope your on here when I get it working!! | 22:50 |
| redvamp128 | isaak: is because you were in the home but it was on the desktop | 22:50 |

| jkernik | Why files >4GB have problems on ubuntu? | 22:51 |
| Slart | BenSmith: there's almost always someone here to help you if you get stuck | 22:51 |

| jkernik | slart: Huh?! | 22:51 |
| BenSmith | Slart: Cool. You guys are great | 22:51 |
| Slart | jkernik: it doesn't is the answer to both questions =) | 22:52 |

| wolfey | oCean_: it was cups problem basicly | 22:52 |
| Slart | BenSmith: we try | 22:52 |
| kaj | is ubuntu debian? or not? | 22:52 |
| jkernik | DaGU: I see | 22:52 |

| cline | ok im stuck,, i have an internal gps, is there a command for gpsd to scan and find it? | 22:52 |
| Slart | kaj: based on debian, afaik | 22:52 |
| lstarnes | kaj: it is based on debian, but it is not debian | 22:52 |
| oCean_ | wolfey: indeed | 22:52 |
| mgolisch | lesshaste: maybe look if they finaly introduced any crashdump facilities into ubuntu, for some reason they had analysis tools like crash for trillion years but no crashdump facilities in the kernel | 22:52 |

| Slart | jkernik: ubuntu in itself has no problems with files larger than 4 GB | 22:52 |

| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 22:55 |
| Slart | yoyit2: it's another service that runs on top of the network.. the web (firefox, http://) is another.. telnet is another.. file sharing (samba) is another.. | 22:55 |
| tripps | what is the file browser exec file? gnome-??? | 22:55 |
| mgolisch | isaak: file? you want to install apt-file and use apt-file search somefile | 22:55 |
| jkernik | Slart: Nope no windows here! | 22:56 |
| wikzo_ | mgolisch: What should I find in that folder? There is a file called interface-order, maybe it is that? | 22:56 |
| mgolisch | tripps: nautilus | 22:56 |
| isaak | mgolisch, oh how do i do that | 22:56 |
| Slart | jkernik: then there's no reason to use FAT32 or ntfs.. ext3 will do nicely | 22:56 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: what do i have to do to my windows computer to ba able to share files | 22:56 |
| jkernik | Slart : This is an external USB drive,.. | 22:56 |
| tripps | mgolisch, thanks! | 22:56 |
| cline | GPS HELP<<<<<<<<<<< | 22:56 |
| greekphilosophy | hi all. i'm following some very simple directions and having a hard time with them. i'm new to ubuntu (using 8.10), and I'm trying to get world of warcraft up and running through wine, but I can't seem to get the latest expansion properly installed (dvd is protected). any wisdom available? | 22:56 |
| isaak | mgolisch, wats the exact code | 22:56 |
| sunfizz98 | !ntfs-3g | 22:56 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 22:56 |
| jkernik | Slart: Do you think I I can format it to be ext3? | 22:56 |
| vigo | isaak: On the top is a Search panel, click it, a search box opens. | 22:57 |
| Slart | jkernik: I use ntfs for my external drives.. just in case I want to use them in a windows computer.. your choice really | 22:57 |
| mgolisch | isaak: install the apt-file package, then on a cmdline run sudo apt-file update ... wait then you can serach for files with apt-file search somefile and it will give you the packages the file is in | 22:57 |
| ikonia | greekphilosophy: you may want check #winehq | 22:57 |
| Slart | jkernik: yes, I would be very surprised if you weren't able to format it | 22:57 |
| cline | does gpsd have a command to find the gps? | 22:57 |
| mgolisch | isaak: i doubt synaptics contains that functionality | 22:57 |
| greekphilosophy | thanks ikonia | 22:57 |
| ikonia | greekphilosophy: wine is a pretty fussy system | 22:57 |
| mgolisch | wikzo_: /etc/resolv.conf is a file, it holds the nameservers used to do dns lookups | 22:57 |
| Slart | yoyit2: that is really something you should ask a windows user about.. I haven't messed with that in quite some time | 22:58 |
| mgolisch | wikzo_: look into that to see if wicd actualy applied the dns servers | 22:58 |
| isaak | synaptic has that function to search but i can't find the file pipslite | 22:58 |
| isaak | like i am suppose to | 22:58 |
| wikzo_ | mgolisch: It doesn't :( | 22:58 |
| Slart | cline: I think you have to tell it which device to use | 22:58 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: :( ok | 22:58 |
| isaak | mgolisch, synaptic has that function to search but i can't find the file pipslite | 22:58 |
| Slart | cline: something like gpsd /dev/blablabla | 22:58 |
| mgolisch | wikzo_: then you did something wrong or maybe wicd crashed or whatever | 22:58 |
| wikzo_ | mgolisch: And it says that I can't edit it | 22:58 |
| RbK` | HELLO, anybody help me?pls:( | 22:58 |
| Slart | !ask | RbK` | 22:58 |
| ubottu | RbK`: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:58 |
| vigo | isaak: make certain the filters are set to accept it, then search ALL | 22:58 |
| RbK` | i want install ubuntu i give CPU frequency scaling not supported [Ok], i have a intel pentium 4 3.60Ghz | 22:58 |
| cline | slart thats the problem,, its an internal gps and i just installd ubuntu, dont know what to do | 22:59 |
| woli | if i add a user with useradd, which is the default password?? | 22:59 |
| mgolisch | wikzo_: yeah you can only edit it using root priviledges, but be aware of the fact that if you use dhcp it will overwrite the file everytime you request an ip from dhcp | 22:59 |
| ikonia | RbK`: you may have to enable it in your bios | 22:59 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: why cant it be simply like windows networks | 22:59 |
| mgolisch | wikzo_: and replace the nameserver with the one supplied by the dhcp server | 22:59 |
| Melik | hey guys how can i install the pixmap engine on ubuntu? | 22:59 |
| Melik | i cant find it in synaptic | 22:59 |
| Slart | cline: check through the messages in dmesg, see if it mentions a gps somewhere.. also check lsusb and lspci for something that looks like a gps | 22:59 |
| Slart | yoyit2: windows networks is anything but simple... | 23:00 |
| wikzo_ | mgolisch: Sorry, I am not sure that I understand. What do you suggest I could do? In the Wicd options the DNS I typed in is still there, but the resolv.conf shows me the standard DNS | 23:00 |
| kaj | man why does ubuntu have to suck so much? | 23:00 |
| RbK` | whay have have to enable in bios? | 23:00 |
| ikonia | kaj: don't start a fight, we are here to help with your problems | 23:00 |
| mgolisch | wikzo_: do you use dhcp? if yes change the dns server on your dhcp server | 23:00 |
| ikonia | RbK`: scaling is a bios supported function | 23:01 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: u diddnt have to to anything and i can connect to windows network but i have to get samba to connect to linux computers | 23:01 |
| wikzo_ | mgolisch: I have no idea what dhcp is | 23:01 |
| Slart | kaj: since we are basement-dwelling nerds without girlfriends it's a very sought after feature.. ;) | 23:01 |
| cline | ill try dmesg, i tried lshw, ls pci -v, the only thing i found was a pan0 that i didnt know, | 23:01 |
| Melik | hey guys how can i install the pixmap engine on ubuntu? i cant find it in the repositories | 23:01 |
| ikonia | RbK`: the bios has to support it too, not just the cpu | 23:01 |
| oCean_ | Melik: use "apt-cache search pixmap" | 23:01 |
| wikzo_ | mgolisch: But I found the same bug via Google: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=226 | 23:01 |
| kaj | not starting a fight just had better luck with fedora or open suse | 23:01 |
| ikonia | kaj: use what works for you | 23:01 |
| kaj | the whole no root thing messes me up | 23:01 |
| Slart | yoyit2: setting up networking between two linux machine is very easy.. but try getting a windows machine to share files "the linux way" and you'll run into so many problems it's just not funny any more | 23:02 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: does samba have a gui | 23:02 |
| Wips | I have a laptop with windows, ubuntu and grub. I want to uninstall all of it and then install only Xubuntu.. How should I do that? | 23:02 |
| Slart | yoyit2: there is a web interface for setting it up.. but that's it I think | 23:02 |
| Slart | yoyit2: it's called swat | 23:02 |
| carpii | Wips, just run the ubuntu installer and repartition the whole drive | 23:02 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: where do i go to use it | 23:02 |
| RbK` | ikonia: and see how you can bios support? Sorry, but there are beginner | 23:02 |
| Guest92595 | could someone tell me how to fix, etc/resolv.conf, thanks | 23:03 |
| getxsick | guys, my new hdd is much slower than it should be...where should i start to investigate this problem? | 23:03 |
| wolfey | oCean_: well after reinstall it's same :( | 23:03 |
| ikonia | RbK`: reboot your PC and you'll see a key sequence to enter the bios | 23:03 |
| Wips | carpii: I dont have the ubuntu cd anymore. can I do it with the xubuntu cd? | 23:03 |
| lucifer_Star | hi all | 23:03 |
| carpii | well sure, if you want to install xbuntu | 23:03 |
| === Starnestommy is now known as lstarnes | ||
| Wips | I do.. | 23:03 |
| roy_hobbs | How do I view the posix manpage for cp as opposed to the linux manpage which seems to be default | 23:03 |
| Wips | ok :) | 23:03 |
| kaj | ok so does anyone know how to get the text over the desktop in ubuntu i used corkey in opensuse but here it seems to be in a form of a desklet? | 23:03 |
| ikonia | Guest92595: I will not ask again | 23:03 |
| wolfey | oCean_: purge foomatic too? ;) | 23:03 |
| Slart | kaj: if you feel another distro makes your life easier why not use that.. all the major ones have similar functionality.. | 23:03 |
| wolfey | oCean_: though locally printing works :) | 23:03 |
| wolfey | hm | 23:03 |
| Slart | kaj: you can use conky in ubuntu too | 23:04 |
| Slart | kaj: afaik it works the same way | 23:04 |
| wikzo_ | mgolisch: What if I temporarily removed Wicd and installed network-manager and typed in the OpenDNS. Then I reinstall Wicd (I need it because the GNOME network-manager doesn't work with my laptop's network card) | 23:04 |
| Slart | yoyit2: read the link from ubotty, it's all explained there | 23:04 |
| carpii | yeah conky is X based, rather than wm specific | 23:04 |
| Slart | !samba | yoyit2 | 23:04 |
| ubottu | yoyit2: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 23:04 |
| mgolisch | wikzo_: again if you dont use static ip addresses the dns settings are useless as they will be replaced with the dhcp provided ones | 23:05 |
| kaj | but every time i try to use the sudo command in ubuntu it says unable to fetch repositories | 23:05 |
| mikevankuik | I need to get my routers data to be loged at my server can anyone help me with that pls? ^_^ | 23:05 |
| lucifer_Star | any one know how to stick desklets into background | 23:05 |
| isaak | i can't delet a file off my desktop called iscan-2.15.0 | 23:05 |
| isaak | anyone know? | 23:05 |
| RbK` | I make a restart to try | 23:05 |
| wolfey | oCean_: for XP, Adobe's Postscript driver worked, there's no Vista version.. and my trying to trick using another postscript printer fail miserably.. i mean it prints.. but not just what i want | 23:05 |
| Slart | mikevankuik: using snmp? | 23:05 |
| Guest92595 | ikonia, all i am asking is how to fix a problem | 23:05 |
| ikonia | Guest92595: I have told you 4 times - mint is not supported here | 23:05 |
| arachnidz | Hello, could someone help me configure samba to join a windows network? | 23:05 |
| mikevankuik | Slart: I want to use syslog actually | 23:05 |
| Guest92595 | if you don't know keep quiet | 23:05 |
| isaak | i can't delet a file off my desktop called iscan-2.15.0 | 23:05 |
| Slart | kaj: "sudo ls" tells you it can't fetch repositories? | 23:05 |
| mgolisch | wikzo_: just run gksu gedit /etc/resolv.conf and change the nameservers and see if it works | 23:05 |
| isaak | mgolisch, do you know how to delete a file with a lock on it? | 23:05 |
| mikevankuik | Slart: I've got SNMP activated though | 23:06 |
| mgolisch | wikzo_: if they are gone after restarting the connection with wicd you probably use dhcp | 23:06 |
| mgolisch | isaak: what do you mean= | 23:06 |
| kaj | ya to install the conky it says unable to fetch | 23:06 |
| isaak | i can't delet a file off my desktop called iscan-2.15.0 | 23:06 |
| Slart | mikevankuik: hmm.. never actually setup syslog to accept connections from remote computers.. but it can't be that hard, can it? | 23:06 |
| isaak | it says i dont have the permission | 23:06 |
| ikonia | kaj: can you pastebin the full output please | 23:06 |
| jkernik | friends, what is the hex code for EXT3 partition | 23:06 |
| arachnidz | is anyone here familiar with samba? | 23:06 |
| kaj | ok hold on | 23:06 |
| isaak | mgolisch, it says i dont have permission i can't delet a file off my desktop called iscan-2.15.0 | 23:06 |
| Slart | !info conky | 23:07 |
| ubottu | conky (source: conky): highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 179 kB, installed size 556 kB | 23:07 |
| wikzo_ | mgolisch: Is I requiered to have 3 name servers or can I just have 2? | 23:07 |
| ikonia | wikzo_: 2 is fine | 23:07 |
| Slart | kaj: have you tried using a different mirror? have you enabled the universe repository? | 23:07 |
| ikonia | wikzo_: 1 works | 23:07 |
| mgolisch | wikzo_: two is fine | 23:07 |
| isaak | mgolisch, you know how to delet that file? | 23:07 |
| isaak | mgolisch, it says i dont have permission | 23:07 |
| kaj | ok nvm i feel dumb would help if i put conky instaed of corky lol | 23:07 |
| mgolisch | sudo rm file? | 23:07 |
| mgolisch | but be carefull | 23:08 |
| mgolisch | :) | 23:08 |
| ikonia | kaj: easy mistake to make | 23:08 |
| mikevankuik | Slart: I know I've got to change something in syslog but I tried with just adding the -r to the SYSLOG="" part... didn't really do it... my router is set to be sending its data to the IP of my server so I suppose it sends the data.... | 23:08 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: this looks so complicated | 23:08 |
| isaak | ikonia, how do i delete a file with a lock on it | 23:08 |
| Bodsda | ikonia, may i pm you? | 23:08 |
| ikonia | isaak: use super user priviliges | 23:08 |
| ikonia | Bodsda: sure | 23:08 |
| Bodsda | cheers | 23:08 |
| Slart | mikevankuik: isn't there a setting in the syslog configuration? | 23:08 |
| isaak | ikonia, how do i use that? | 23:08 |
| oCean_ | mikevankuik: I think remote syslog setup is handled through inet, isn't it? | 23:08 |
| ikonia | isaak: gksudo natulius to launch the gui, or sudo rm to use the command line | 23:09 |
| kaj | ok it installed but do i need any other dependancies for conky im kinda new but got some exp | 23:09 |
| mikevankuik | Slart: no its a local setup :) the server is behind the router :) so there shouldn't be any issues there | 23:09 |
| Slart | yoyit2: mm, there is a lot of settings.. | 23:09 |
| ikonia | kaj: it will do it for you | 23:09 |
| mwlang | is evolution required for a well-behaved gnome desktop? I've been trying in vain to remove all of its components, but seem to be largely succeeding in wiping out packages that make no sense that they require evolution. | 23:09 |
| wolfey | oCean_: could that be hardware problem? | 23:09 |
| wolfey | oCean_: or filters are messed up? | 23:09 |
| kaj | and so it does now do i just do a run command or? | 23:10 |
| mwlang | like firefox, asspell, gnome-control, gnome-panel, etc. | 23:10 |
| wolfey | oCean_: i have most problems with pdf's with graphic | 23:10 |
| Slart | mikevankuik: yes, but syslog will still have to listen to non-local connections.. so remote in the sense that it isn't from the computer that syslog is running on | 23:10 |
| cyrus__ | from the command line how do I disable a service? | 23:10 |
| wolfey | oCean_: but it ALWAYS sends one empty page with only letter 'E' printed | 23:10 |
| pike_ | mwlang: welcome to package management. :( | 23:10 |
| oCean_ | Sorry wolfey, I have no idea... | 23:10 |
| wolfey | rest of pages mostly show what they should | 23:10 |
| mwlang | pike_: a warm welcome, indeedy. | 23:10 |
| wolfey | just get one or two line of high-ascii chars printed over it | 23:10 |
| Slart | cyrus__: you can stop it by running "sudo /etc/init.d/<servicename> stop" | 23:10 |
| rockenrola | cyrus__: which service? | 23:11 |
| isaak | ikonia, it says it cannot remove the file | 23:11 |
| oCean_ | mikevankuik: Slart I think that's possible through inet.. there's an udp port specified in /etc/services | 23:11 |
| mikevankuik | Slart: I know I have to set something like SYSLOG="-r" somewhere... but that didn't fix it so that's why I'm asking | 23:11 |
| isaak | ikonia, isaak@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo rm iscan-2.15.0 | 23:11 |
| isaak | rm: cannot remove `iscan-2.15.0': Is a directory | 23:11 |
| ikonia | isaak: what command are you using | 23:11 |
| Slart | mikevankuik: ok.. I'll have a look, see if I can find something.. | 23:11 |
| cyrus__ | Slart - but i want to disable it, not just stop it | 23:11 |
| isaak | ikonia, that | 23:11 |
| cyrus__ | rockenrole - winbind | 23:11 |
| wolfey | oCean_: do you recommend any cheap ethernet lasers? ;) | 23:11 |
| mikevankuik | Slart: cool | 23:11 |
| Slart | cyrus__: that I don't know.. sorry | 23:11 |
| wolfey | oCean_: cause next printer wont be on samba:) | 23:11 |

| MikyMouse | is there any tool to create a HTML file from a picture? lets say I designed a complete template en jpg and I want to get html without thinking | 23:13 |
| mikevankuik | oCean_: I know I've got to tell syslog that it needs to accept log stuff from outside too :) | 23:13 |

| yoyit2 | Slart: ok i made a shared folder with samba now how do i acces it with a differnt linux computer | 23:14 |
| oCean_ | mikevankuik: yeah, but that should go through inetd right? I used to do it that way. Gathering syslogs on 1 server | 23:14 |
| isaak | ikonia, how do i remove it again? | 23:14 |
| MikyMouse | Slart, not always, sometimes the cost of the utulity for certain web pages doesnt worth the time you have to put them | 23:14 |
| mikevankuik | Slart: I'm going to check an other setup I have access to where we fixed it :) I'll get back to you about it in a sec ^_^ | 23:15 |
| mwlang | that seems to be a file in the ruby-lang sources, so how does it go AWOL? | 23:15 |

| Slart | mikevankuik: you've read the man page for syslogd? there is a section on how to enable remote logging | 23:19 |
| arachnidz | RbK`, do you mean your processor speed? | 23:19 |
| Bizzeh | MikyMouse: whats this img2html thing for anyway? what you hoping to achieve with it? (just curious, my mate wrote that script i gave you, he is just wondering what its being used for) | 23:19 |
| Slart | yoyit2: did you get an error message? | 23:19 |
| RbK` | 3.60 Ghz arachnidz | 23:19 |
| mikevankuik | Slart: yeah I'm getting there right now I think :D | 23:19 |
| MikyMouse | Bizzeh, the learning curve in cake is tricky, but once you have done 1 or 2 apps, then you can just live without it | 23:19 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: i got error saying failed to mount windows share why does it say windows | 23:19 |
| vock | Running Ubuntu 8.10, uninstalled all my nvidia drivers because they weren't working, manually installed nvidia-glx-177 and restarted X server, but it still isn't using the nvidia driver, any help? | 23:19 |
| mgolisch | cakephp? | 23:19 |
| arachnidz | RbK`, your fine for ubuntu then, assuming you have a good amount of ram and harddrive space | 23:19 |
| mikevankuik | Slart: I've forgotten to create a local*.* in the conf file ^_^ | 23:19 |
| RbK` | yes | 23:19 |
| MikyMouse | Bizzeh, I will tell you in a few hours when out the office and time to test it | 23:19 |
| pike_ | woli: google ps1 and .bashrc | 23:20 |
| rockenrola | cline: "lshw" might be more helpfull | 23:20 |
| kevinbob | is there a way to find out the serial port /dev/? | 23:20 |
| Bizzeh | MikyMouse: i generally dont like frameworks in any language really... they are too restrictive. i have my own frameworks for each language i work with... and when i need them to do new things, i update the framework :D | 23:20 |
| RbK` | 1Gb Ram, and harddrive space 20Gb | 23:20 |
| Slart | mikevankuik: ah.. but you've done tha changes to the /etc/services file? so syslog listens on port 514? | 23:20 |
| cline | i tried that one to, you want o see the resultsnfrom lshw? | 23:20 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: btw u found a samba gui in add remove programs thats how i added the share | 23:20 |
| sh4d3sl4y3r_ | hello roomies.. well i am a Debian unstable user... guess my question won't be offtopic.... what is the main difference betwen Debian Unstable and Ubuntu... | 23:21 |
| Slart | yoyit2: ah, nice.. | 23:21 |
| rockenrola | cline: sure, put it on pastebin | 23:21 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: but it doesnt work | 23:21 |
| MikyMouse | Bizzeh, well cake comes with the sources, so ..you can always modify what you dont like | 23:21 |
| rgotten | has anybody good experience with software raid | 23:21 |
| Slart | sh4d3sl4y3r_: ubuntu freezes versions and then releases a new version.. it doesn't just continue like debian does | 23:21 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: i made a share to / thats filesystem how do i connect to it with my computer | 23:21 |
| mikevankuik | Slart: no it was already set right :) (not commented) | 23:21 |
| Bizzeh | MikyMouse: and like all set frameworks, its coded in some abstract way that makes it impossible for anyone who actually wants to mod it, to do so | 23:21 |
| Slart | yoyit2: the way I just wrote is one way.. it's by far the easiest one | 23:22 |
| MikyMouse | Bizzeh, :) that is right | 23:22 |
| Slart | mikevankuik: oh.. ok | 23:22 |
| sh4d3sl4y3r_ | well, what if it comes to the packaging? both seem to have similar versions of packages.. | 23:22 |
| jiffe89 | anyone know how to get the install process to automatically choose english at the beginning using the preseed file? | 23:22 |
| mgolisch | rgotten: i was using it for quite some time, whats the matter? | 23:23 |
| Slart | sh4d3sl4y3r_: both uses apt and deb-packages | 23:23 |
| RbK` | arachnidz : not understand what I say CPU frequency scaling not supported [Ok] | 23:23 |
| zleap | how do I make devices like flash drives, auto mount when i plug them in | 23:23 |
| yoyit2 | slart ok how do i find the ip address | 23:23 |
| ikonia | RbK`: thats just a warning | 23:23 |
| ikonia | RbK`: your bios may not support scaling as I said earlier | 23:23 |
| Slart | sh4d3sl4y3r_: afaik it's pretty much the same.. ie not that packages can be used on both systems.. but it works the same in debian as it does in ubuntu | 23:23 |
| ikonia | (or it may not be enabled) | 23:23 |
| gbear14275 | hey guys... I think I found a problem with my new kernel install... says my /boot is full... was wondering if it was safe to clear this out and if so what changes I might have to make concerning GRUB if any | 23:23 |
| vock | yoyit2: at the command prompt type ifconfig | 23:23 |
| Slart | yoyit2: write ifconfig in a terminal | 23:23 |
| mgolisch | zleap: they should do that bydefault if you have ubuntu | 23:23 |
| steveire | Hi. Anyone experienced with tcpdump etc? I might have something rogue running on my computer. | 23:24 |
| Slart | gbear14275: use apt-get to remove some old kernels | 23:24 |
| steveire | Anyone know what urtica.linuxnews.pl is? Google has interesting results, and tcpdump tells me my laptop is making almost permenant requests to it. http://dpaste.com/114486/ | 23:24 |
| yassine | hi everyone | 23:24 |
| ikonia | gbear14275: I suggest you remove old kernel packages from the package manager | 23:24 |
| steveire | http://www.mail-archive.com/savannah-hackers@gnu.org/msg04348.html | 23:24 |
| mgolisch | zleap: probably the filesystem is still marked mounted and thats why the automatic mount fails | 23:24 |
| ikonia | steveire: nothing to do with ubuntu | 23:24 |
| Slart | gbear14275: or apt-get remove --purge to get rid of some config files too | 23:24 |
| sh4d3sl4y3r_ | thnks for the info | 23:24 |
| zleap | ok | 23:24 |
| steveire | I'm also making requests to mail.e-scribe.com | 23:24 |
| Slart | sh4d3sl4y3r_: you're welcome | 23:24 |
| RbK` | ikonia: and how to enable | 23:24 |
| pike_ | gbear14275: alot of that might be old kernels you might check to see if there are any ones in there you no longer boot with | 23:24 |
| ikonia | RbK`: look in your bios | 23:24 |
| yassine | is there a way to keep my system at a certain kernel version without to need to upgrade each time ? | 23:24 |
| zleap | it worked before i moved my home directory on to a new partition and had to get help re-writing the fstab file thing to make it work | 23:24 |
| zleap | now it won't | 23:24 |
| vock | Running Ubuntu 8.10, uninstalled all my nvidia drivers because they weren't working, manually installed nvidia-glx-177 and restarted X server, but it still isn't using the nvidia driver, any help? | 23:24 |
| ikonia | RbK`: check your cpu/board support it | 23:25 |
| rgotten | has anybody good experience with software raid | 23:25 |
| zleap | does 8.10 use hal, or auto fs or something else | 23:25 |
| RbK` | I entered the bios but I know what to do | 23:25 |
| gbear14275 | do i just type "kernel" into synatptic to find them? | 23:25 |
| ikonia | zleap: hal and dbus | 23:25 |
| mgolisch | zleap: like you just unpluged it without using the green unplug device thing in windows or such | 23:25 |
| cline | ok here is the lshw , anyone recognize an internal gps???? | 23:25 |
| Slart | rgotten: I've used software raid, yes.. it worked nicely | 23:25 |
| ikonia | gbear14275: pretty much | 23:25 |
| Slart | rgotten: ie.. not fake raid.. but real software raid | 23:25 |
| pike_ | vock: can you pastebin these things 1) lspci -v 2) /var/log/Xorg.0.log 3 /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:25 |
| cline | http://paste.ubuntu.com/111473/ sorry, heres the lshw, | 23:25 |
| Bizzeh | vock: when you manually installed the nvidia driver, did you install the kernel module that goes with it? and, did you modify the xorg.conf to use the nvidia driver? | 23:25 |
| zleap | ok | 23:25 |
| kevinbob | any way to find out what device my serial port is on? | 23:25 |
| zleap | i mount manually | 23:25 |
| zleap | so do it properly with mount and umount at the console | 23:26 |
| RbK` | ikonia: a site to check cpu / board support it | 23:26 |
| Slart | cline: don't see anything that looks like a gps there | 23:26 |
| zleap | its just a pain hving to keep doing it manually | 23:26 |
| ikonia | RbK`: the makers/manufactures site, or the manual that came with it | 23:26 |
| Slart | cline: can you pastebin the output of lspci and lsusb too? | 23:27 |
| cline | so what r my options, just cant recognize the gps?? | 23:27 |
| cline | yes | 23:27 |
| RbK` | ikonia: and you have to watch it? | 23:27 |
| rgotten | slart: i have it configure and try it for the past 6 month and it works well, but the last week sometimes it appears that one of the hard drive is gone, and then after rebuild array is back....hard dirve looks to be working well..other than testing hard drive, how can i be sure that this could not be a problem with software raid and nboit hardrive? | 23:27 |
| ikonia | RbK`: no, just read the manual/docs to see a.) if it's supported b.) how to enable it | 23:27 |
| ikonia | RbK`: not having cpu scaling enabled will not cause you any problems with linux | 23:27 |
| gbear14275 | gzip: stdout: No space left on device | 23:27 |
| vock | pike, Bizzeh: xorg.conf i used nvidia-xconfig, pastebin is here http://pastebin.com/m166933bc | 23:28 |

| ikonia | gbear14275: house keep, tidy up | 23:28 |

| zleap | the device seems to be working fine | 23:28 |
| zleap | when i manually mount it at the console as root | 23:28 |
| BenSmith | Slart: I'm in the BIOS | 23:29 |
| Slart | rgotten: I would start looking for errors in syslog.. usually there will be an error when the drive falls out of the raid.. then you'd have to go from there.. depending on the error | 23:29 |
| cline | ok heres those lspci and lsusb http://paste.ubuntu.com/111476/ | 23:29 |
| zleap | i tried under authorisations but got confused | 23:29 |
| Slart | yoyit2: can you access the share from the windows computer? | 23:29 |
| gbear14275 | whats the command to open up a root file browser again? | 23:29 |
| Slart | BenSmith: ok.. haven't found anything that looks like what I described? | 23:29 |
| cline | rocken rolla,, ita built in, work under xp tablet | 23:30 |
| gbear14275 | gksudo? | 23:30 |
| Slart | gbear14275: gksudo nautilus.. be careful | 23:30 |
| rgotten | slart i am relatively new to ubuntu...were should i look for the syslog | 23:30 |
| BenSmith | Slart: I found something called Drive Xpert Control | 23:30 |
| gbear14275 | I will thank you slart | 23:30 |
| Slart | rgotten: it's a file in /var/log/ | 23:30 |
| cline | the gps chipset was a sirf-star 3 , | 23:30 |
| Slart | rgotten: in that same folder you'll also find kern.log and various other log files.. perhaps even a log file for the raid | 23:30 |
| Slart | gbear14275: you're welcome | 23:31 |
| rgotten | i use webmin to remotly conect to server and when i was able to stsart degraded, the 3rd hard dirve was completely disappear?$% | 23:31 |
| Slart | BenSmith: hmm.. might be it, I guess | 23:31 |
| BenSmith | Slart: Options are Auto, Enable, Disabled | 23:32 |
| Slart | rgotten: I would be surprised if it was the software raid app that failed.. but hey.. all apps have bugs, right? | 23:32 |
| gbear14275 | slart is it safe to delete the initrd.img-2.6.27-7generic gzip archive if I have one with a -9 in the same folder? | 23:32 |
| Slart | BenSmith: hmm.. I don't think that's it.. anything else? | 23:32 |
| sm | g'day all | 23:32 |
| ikonia | gbear14275: depends if your still using the kernel that matches it | 23:32 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: how do i make a new shared useing swat i cant figure it out | 23:32 |
| Slart | gbear14275: uninstall it using apt-get instead.. then you'll get dependencies and such right | 23:32 |
| mgolisch | gbear14275: why not uninstall the package it belongs to properly? | 23:32 |
| kazekagi | Hi all! Im new too Linux, and wondering if i could get some help with some sound driver installing issues i have been having? | 23:32 |
| Slart | yoyit2: I've never really used swat so I can't help you with that, sorry | 23:33 |
| gbear14275 | Slart: ikonia mgolisch: I couldn't uninstall cause there wasn't enough room I think :-/ | 23:33 |
| DrAke_ct | hi | 23:33 |
| ikonia | gbear14275: not ideal, but possible | 23:33 |
| mgolisch | sounds illogical | 23:33 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: how did you do it then i need help | 23:33 |
| sm | I want to upgrade a feisty server to hardy.. the upgrade to gutsy failed, following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades . After "While scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the upgrade was found.This can happen if you run a internal mirror or if the mirror information is out of date." it gave a lot of not founds and terminated | 23:33 |
| DrAke_ct | is there someone who could configure an irc server? | 23:33 |
| Slart | gbear14275: hmm.. very strange.. mind trying again and pastebinning the result? | 23:33 |
| BenSmith | Slart: SATA Configuration | 23:33 |
| Slart | BenSmith: sounds promising | 23:34 |
| ikonia | sm: pastebin your sources.list file | 23:34 |
| vock | pike_: did you get the pastebin link? | 23:34 |
| sm | ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/111478/ | 23:34 |
| BenSmith | Slart: Options are Disabled, Compatible, Enhanced | 23:34 |
| ikonia | sm: have you done "sudo apt-get update" yet ? | 23:34 |
| Slart | cline: sorry.. don't see anything that screams GPS in those either | 23:34 |
| sm | yes I did, and upgrade; (reported no upgrades except for two packages held back) | 23:35 |
| cline | thanks though,, are there any programs that scan for gps? | 23:35 |
| Slart | BenSmith: you are sure there isn't an "advanced BIOS mode"? I remember one motherboard I had that hid almost all options until I pressed alt+f1 or something | 23:35 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: how did you do it im stuck | 23:35 |
| ikonia | sm: and what's the exact error | 23:35 |

| ikonia | gusty | 23:37 |
| rgotten | Advise, this is a great chat, but how can i keep track of answers if it goes so fast???? | 23:37 |

| cline | would reinstalling maybe find the gps then? what if i used the other hd with xp on it and found what it was attched to on the motherboard? | 23:37 |
| BenSmith | Slart: I dont' think they hid it but I just can't remember. Just remind me what I'm trying to do | 23:37 |
| ikonia | sm: thats worth a go once your fesity is up to date | 23:37 |

| Slart | BenSmith: you are trying to find a setting that tells the raid chip to either A), use the hard drives connected as a raid0, raid1, raid5 or whatever or B) treat them as separate drives or JBOD (just a bunch of disks) | 23:39 |

| yoyit2 | Slart: ya they make no sence | 23:41 |

| methadone | nickrud, when I click ctrl+alt+f1 it won't go out to console like it usually does | 23:45 |
| nickrud | methadone, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start , that is | 23:45 |
| psych1610 | Hey I installed the program tasque and set it to start at boot. When its on it creates a tray icon but is there anyway I can set it to start minimized to the tray icon? | 23:45 |
| Slart | yoyit2: and once again.. I would recommend starting out with one windows computer and one linux computer... it will be easier to troubleshoot | 23:45 |
| nickrud | methadone, try f2. I've had that happen also. | 23:45 |
| methadone | no go | 23:45 |
| methadone | ugh nm | 23:46 |
| methadone | brb | 23:46 |
| BenSmith | Slart: Works for me. Ill take a look! Thanks alot | 23:46 |
| Slart | gbear142751: try "sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic" | 23:46 |
| Slart | BenSmith: you found it? | 23:46 |
| seth | ikonia: I just set the system to use ldap over files, and there is an admin group. id userid shows that I am part of the admin group | 23:46 |
| rgotten | I am using pdigin for IRC, any other software that will let me track when i post a question on who answer me so i can reply and continue conversation? | 23:46 |
| Slart | !irc | rgotten | 23:47 |

| ikonia | seth: I suggest you log out and back in before testing to make sure your shell is "current" | 23:47 |
| seth | ikinia: and no difference. what else can I check? | 23:47 |
| Slart | rgotten: xchat is popular.. nice gui and so on | 23:47 |
| BenSmith | Slart: not yet | 23:47 |
| ikonia | seth: also try using a "new" user one that isn't in /etc/passwd to make it a clean test | 23:47 |
| gbear142751 | Slart: 114mb? thats larger than my /boot directory | 23:47 |
| Slart | BenSmith: well.. I hope you find it | 23:47 |
| gordonjcp | irssi+screen is the only way to IRC ;-) | 23:47 |
| Slart | gbear142751: that's probably why it complains.. | 23:48 |
| Slart | gbear142751: it removed it? | 23:48 |
| BenSmith | Slart: I think I found it. Reset Drives to Non-RAID | 23:48 |
| gbear142751 | Slart: no... just wanted to confirm that I should really run this as it says 114mb will be removed if I continue | 23:48 |
| _VIM_ | gordonjcp: i agree :) | 23:48 |
| Thorgrim | So ubuntu updates + cryptsetup = completely unusable system | 23:48 |
| Slart | BenSmith: ah.. that sounds good.. make sure you don't have anything on those drives you want to keep | 23:48 |
| Slart | BenSmith: backups backups backups | 23:49 |
| lunartear | anyone know why killall wont touch a running perl script by name? | 23:49 |
| BenSmith | Slart: Yeah Is it going to trash both of those drives? | 23:49 |
| Slart | BenSmith: well.. I wouldn't say trash.. the drives will be ok.. but the information on them will be gone | 23:49 |
| BenSmith | Slart: Thanks, Ill start making Backup cds | 23:50 |
| BenSmith | I really have to go Thanks for you help | 23:50 |
| Slart | BenSmith: you're welcome.. hope it works out for you | 23:50 |
| gluonman | When I use the "screen" command in terminal, it seems to disable scrolling. If I try to scroll up, it just scrolls through previously used commands. Is there another way to do this? | 23:50 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: you know what this is too complicated im giveing up this will take days windows networking is so much easyer | 23:50 |
| gbear142751 | Slart: I'm thinking I should just boot from disk, use gparted to grow my /boot then try this... thoughts? or you think i can resolve this without that (would prefer to as a gparted move will require probably at least 40 min). | 23:50 |
| kazekagi | Hi! I was wondering if someone experienced with linux could help me out with some issues i have installing Drivers and some video problems? Please PM me | 23:50 |
| Gnea | !PM | 23:50 |
| Shock | hey, is there yet a 32bit desktop kernel with PAE enabled? | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 23:50 |
| Slart | yoyit2: your computers, your time.. you make the call | 23:51 |
| Slart | gbear142751: didn't the uninstall work? | 23:51 |
| gbear142751 | no | 23:51 |
| yorch | Hi, I've install ubuntu 8.10 64bits on a pc with 4GB ram, but I only get reconized 3.2GB.. bios can see all 4GB.. any ideas? | 23:51 |
| Gustavo_G_ | For some reason, CTRL-ALT-F7 is not getting me back into gnome (I'm running on vmware). What can I type in the command line to achieve the same thing? | 23:51 |
| Slart | Shock: I think the server kernels are the only ones with PAE enabled | 23:51 |
| yoyit2 | Slart: ya thanks for the help i just dont want to do this all day Thanks Anyways | 23:51 |
| Slart | yoyit2: you're welcome | 23:52 |
| gbear142751 | Slart: sorry, no it didn't I can pastebin the errors but its pretty much the same... well it seem | 23:52 |
| gbear142751 | s | 23:52 |
| Slart | gbear142751: please do | 23:52 |
| Shock | Slart: figures... who the hell put all those dumbwits in the kernel team? | 23:52 |
| gbear142751 | Slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/111487/ | 23:52 |
| imaginativeone | how do I change my default media player from Movie Player to VLC? | 23:52 |
| Gustavo_G_ | when I do /etc/init.d/gdm start, I get "Starting GNOME Display Manaer [fail] " | 23:53 |
| kazekagi | Ok, Im trying too get my soundcard too work. its a Creative Audigy SB card. So i think i have too install newest alsa drivers. I have saved the driver too desktop, think i have too get the file into src folder too unpack it with terminal. But im not allowed for some reason. | 23:53 |
| Slart | Shock: I've never even looked at the source code of the kernel.. so I can't really make a judgement on their lack of brains or such | 23:53 |
| gbear142751 | Slart: just some background... I have my /boot on a seperate partition... only 75mb large I think, my /home and / are on different partitions too | 23:53 |
| lunartear | anyone know why killall wont touch a running perl script by name? | 23:53 |
| seth | ikonia: myself and my test user are both not in /etc/passwd. I tried to enable debug in ldap.conf but I get no extra information | 23:53 |
| Shock | is there another distro that has PAE in a 32bit desktop kernel? | 23:54 |
| imaginativeone | perl scripts run in their own memory space | 23:54 |
| rgotten | ubottu: my question was more related to a software that will make it easy to follow a conversation when question is posted and also track who answer my posted question? | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:54 |
| gbear142751 | Shock: is there a reason you want to use the 32bit vs the 64? | 23:54 |
| Slart | gbear142751: try adding a -f to that last command... "sudo apt-get remove --purge -f linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic" | 23:54 |
| Shock | gbear142751: yes\ | 23:54 |
| rockenrola | imaginativeone: do you mean change the deafult application for a file type? | 23:54 |
| gbear142751 | Shock: care to share it? | 23:54 |
| Shock | gbear142751: flash, java | 23:55 |
| Slart | Shock: there is probably a good reason for them to not enable it.. there isn't some kind of explanation somewhere for it? | 23:55 |
| gbear142751 | Shock: there is a beta flash package out for 64bit that works quite well (i do get errors but its only a grey flash window, all i have to do is refresh page to fix) and I believe java supports 64 bit as well | 23:56 |
| cline | later guys, Slart, thanks for looking at that for me.. | 23:56 |
| Shock | Slart: not that i could find. it causes a panic on older CPUs and has a performance penalty | 23:56 |
| Slart | cline: you're welcome | 23:56 |
| gbear142751 | Slart: bad news... same error :( | 23:56 |
| liz_ | hi | 23:56 |
| liz_ | hAHAHAHAAHAH | 23:56 |
| gbear142751 | what if I just delete some of these pacakges by hand then try it? | 23:56 |
| === donna is now known as Guest66455 | ||
| Shock | Slart: biut i don't suggest the PAE kernel to be the default, just to be available | 23:56 |
| rgotten | error 25 boot? | 23:56 |
| liz_ | wait what | 23:57 |
| liz_ | stiopopopopo | 23:57 |
| === maco_ is now known as maco | ||
| Slart | Shock: mm.. but then every kernel has to be tested and so on.. I guess they want to cut down on that | 23:57 |
| e-rod | hi :) | 23:57 |
| liz_ | what is happpend | 23:58 |
| Slart | gbear142751: well.. give it a try | 23:58 |
| Shock | gbear142751: given that i work at an online video company which coincidentally has a flash video player i kinda need a stable version of flash | 23:58 |
| e-rod | where is the video config file for ubuntu ? | 23:58 |
| Shock | Slart: label it "experimental" "for the kamizaze" or whatever, just make it available | 23:58 |
| carpii | e-rod, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:59 |
| Shock | it can be in multiluliverse for all i care | 23:59 |
| e-rod | the file is void | 23:59 |
| Slart | Shock: why not compile your own kernel? I've never done it myself but it can't be that bad | 23:59 |
| carpii | void? | 23:59 |
| === jay is now known as Guest27857 | ||
| e-rod | mmh... defaul | 23:59 |
| gbear142751 | Shock: check this link out... might be worth trying... seems for the most part fairly stable, plus, you'll be ahead of the curve developing for 64bit flash ;) :http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ | 23:59 |
| e-rod | not info into it | 23:59 |
| Shock | Slart: oh, i've done that for a while | 23:59 |
