| cvx | "This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on Linux / unknown". If you run the installer through the emulated 32 bits environement it should work: $ linux32 sh quake3... Or you can extract the game files manually by passing --keep on the command line when running the setup script. Once the files are unpacked, you will need to copy them manually to /usr/local/games.

| pike_ | cecilia_: basically the command i typed above gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf will open your xorg file with a text editor then you can copy and paste this to the pastebin site:http://paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url so we can view the file | 00:50 |

| dunlap | linuxsoom your webcam should be auto-detected and whatever program you choose to run for the webcam should work. | 00:52 |
| Myles | sup? | 00:52 |
| nikolam | dunlap i dont think that booting from flash drive have anything to do with hdd and ubuntu. It should boot even if hdd is off, right? | 00:52 |
| _VIM_ | San-: you on Hardy? | 00:52 |

| cecilia_ | wait | 00:53 |
| pike_ | cecilia_: make sure of the command. if you change the case X11 to x11 it wont open the right file | 00:53 |
| pike_ | heh | 00:53 |
| cecilia_ | i see | 00:53 |
| dunlap | nikolam. there are no otpions in the bios and i have no motherboard manual because this is a pre-built laptop | 00:54 |

| BCampbell | should not "sudo chown <user> *.*" change ownership of all files in the directory the command is run in to <user>? | 00:55 |

| nikolam | linuxsoom, what manual page you are using. find some manual about your camera | 00:57 |
| _VIM_ | !latest | San- (that might be a problem for this reason...) | 00:58 |
| dbu | arooni-mobile: try an nmap of the ip address - then you can see if the port is open... | 00:58 |

| Brando753 | does regular ubuntu.iso work as a live cd | 00:58 |
| jacob | Brando753: yes | 00:58 |
| BCampbell | nikolam, understand, this is a directory of avi's so they all have a dot, when I run chown -c <user> * it returns that it cahnged all giles to user, but ls -l still shoes root as owner | 00:58 |
| linuxsoom | the one that came with it Again this is a microsoft lifcam vx-10000 | 00:58 |
| jacob | Brando753: but not the "alternate" iso - that's text mode | 00:58 |
| nikolam | Brakonil, use desktop cd and burn it on drive to get live cd | 00:58 |
| WIGGMPk | im trying to uninstall 2 old linux images from synaptic and from the terminal. this is the results http://paste.ubuntu.com/112227/ why cant I remove the packages??? | 00:59 |

| Brando753 | whats the alternate iso? | 00:59 |
| San- | well I'm concerned our mysql may be a security risk. Our machine has been lagging severly with hundreds of mysql queries | 00:59 |

| nikolam | BCampbell, sudo chown runs command as root. Also sudo chgrp change group ownership | 00:59 |
| teethdood | I'm looking for an app that would encrypt files individually (ie if I drop a file into a specified folder it would encrypt it automatically) before I upload them to my server | 01:00 |
| jacob | Brando753: it's a console mode CD with no graphical interface | 01:00 |
| linuxsoom | someone | 01:00 |
| linuxsoom | f | 01:00 |
| BCampbell | nikolam, if root is file owner, chown should be run as root, correct? | 01:00 |
| pike_ | cecilia_: i might have to leave at any time so here is prob best. can you pastebin also lspci -v > /home/$USER/file.txt this will create a file.txt that you can open in an editor. | 01:00 |
| nikolam | Brakonil, text only install that can do raid setup , include recovery console etc. | 01:00 |
| jacob | Brando753: the Desktop image for download is the live cd and desktop installer | 01:00 |
| jacob | nikolam: might want to check your tab-completion :) | 01:00 |
| linuxsoom | someone??? | 01:00 |
| cecilia_ | that is what i have just done... publicly asked for permission... i just realize you are the one answering my questions and it's really crowded... i'm not used to this | 01:01 |
| nikolam | BCampbell, chown changes owner of file yes | 01:01 |
| nikolam | jacob, 10x :) | 01:01 |
| linuxsoom | saas | 01:01 |
| Brando753 | i love linux | 01:01 |

| eugman | I'm curious. I jsut fround the encrypt/sign clipboard applet. Is there anything especially usful about it? Normally I would think one would just want to do that with files. | 01:01 |

| linuxsoom | f | 01:01 |
| nikolam | Brando753, I love my girlfriend :) | 01:01 |
| Lucifer_Cat | you mean iso? | 01:01 |
| Brando753 | lol | 01:01 |
| linuxsoom | clear | 01:01 |
| _VIM_ | San-: Security risks are pretty rare in any linux distro just by the very way the file system is and with permissions and what not... | 01:01 |
| BCampbell | nikolam, maybe I just have a display issue, seems I can edit and change the files as <user> so maybe ownership has changed, just not showing...thanks for the help | 01:01 |
| Brando753 | no .ico | 01:01 |
| Lucifer_Cat | icon files? | 01:02 |
| nickrud | WIGGMPk, do you not have grub installed? That's where /usr/sbin/kernel-helper comes from (intrepid, anyway) | 01:02 |
| jacob | Brando753: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 01:02 |
| Brando753 | yes | 01:02 |
| Lucifer_Cat | no idea :P | 01:02 |
| Brando753 | im looking for the location of icon files | 01:02 |
| San- | thanks for your help. I'll read more into it | 01:02 |
| WIGGMPk | nickrud: i have gfxgrub installed so I guess no | 01:02 |
| _VIM_ | anytime San- :) | 01:02 |
| jacob | Brando753: ah. /usr/share/icons | 01:02 |
| San- | I have bigger problems right now with routing these two NICs | 01:02 |
| WIGGMPk | nickrud: can i just remove the script and then add it back | 01:02 |
| cecilia_ | you mean... i wrote it in command line at the terminal... is it this? | 01:02 |
| San- | only one seems to work at any given time | 01:02 |
| cecilia_ | nothing happened | 01:03 |
| iverson0881 | hey everyone! | 01:03 |
| Brando753 | thanks jacob | 01:03 |
| cecilia_ | i'm absolutely newbie | 01:03 |
| nickrud | WIGGMPk, I guess ubuntu kernels are build around having grub; I'd file a bug. Not sure about removing script, probably not a good idea. A sec | 01:03 |
| WIGGMPk | nickrud: well not remove but hide | 01:03 |
| _VIM_ | San-: oh yeah you were the one that was saying you googled your face off,,, yeah google is good unless theres like 3 questions in one. then it gets to be pretty difficult to find any real answers | 01:03 |
| pike_ | cecilia_: no problem nothing should happen. what that did was redirect the output of the lspci to a file so now do the command: gedit /home/$USER/file.txt and pastebin that file | 01:04 |
| toehio | I used envyng to install my nvidia drivers (it was successful). When I restart I get a black screen and I can here my GPU's fan stoping and starting again. What is happening? | 01:04 |
| Brando753 | hey i never thought much about it but is there just an explorer file? | 01:04 |
| San- | VIM, could you take a look at my routing tables? I can paste in PM | 01:04 |
| jacob | Brando753: an explorer style icon? or the location of the file browser? | 01:04 |
| cecilia_ | alright | 01:04 |
| pike_ | Brando753: you mean a file manager? | 01:04 |
| Brando753 | yes | 01:04 |
| toehio | I have acpi=off could that be a problem? | 01:04 |
| _VIM_ | San-: i would but routing stuff goes over me heh | 01:04 |
| San- | meh | 01:04 |

| nikolam | San-, use pastebin.ubuntu.com to paste | 01:04 |
| San- | and that's about it | 01:04 |
| jacob | Brando753: it's "nautilus," /usr/bin/nautilus, which you can get to by going to the Places menu and then selecting a folder (such as home) | 01:05 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Brando753: `which nautilus` | 01:05 |
| San- | it should be simple to assign two static ips to two NIC cards | 01:05 |

| Brando753 | <---- still transitioning | 01:06 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Brando753: nautilus location | 01:06 |
| nickrud | WIGGMPk, I'm pretty comfortable with messing around install/uninstall scripts; but I'm leary of messing with the kernel ones they are complex | 01:06 |
| Brando753 | <------ and spelling baddly :D | 01:06 |

| nomana123 | the wireless ad hoc | 01:15 |
| nickrud | fix_, that's a command you can run in a terminal. You can also use system->admin->Synaptic package manager, and search for flashplugin-nonfree and install it that way. | 01:15 |
| [biabia] | i see ubuntu doesnt have chkconfig. i installed sysv-rc-conf but its not quite what im looking for | 01:15 |
| nickrud | fix_, as a general rule, you don't download files off the net and install them, like you would in windows | 01:16 |
| nickrud | [biabia], update-rc.d is the closest equivalent | 01:16 |

| MikyMouse | nickrud, Apache is working fine with the other folder I have, the problem is that the new one doesn't appear in the browser because I dont have rights, but look: http://pastebin.com/m58d13244 | 01:34 |

| nickrud | MikyMouse, if you go to the folder directly in the location bar, what do you see? | 01:36 |
| danbhfive | dorgan: i'd imagine so : ), but to be honest, I don't know of many apps on Ubuntu that can take advantage of that power | 01:36 |
| ortsvorsteher | fix_: okay. try at next "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 01:36 |

| The_Rebel | nickrud, is this the best we can get at this point in time? | 01:47 |
| BCampbell | Dr_willis, when trying to access shares from Windows to Ubuntu I either get a login prompt or a blank window | 01:47 |
| Out_Cold | so i was trying to install starcraft from a mounted iso and i try to run the install.exe with wine and i get this http://pastebin.com/m6c446fb8 | 01:47 |

| enrica | hi guys, can you say me in which folder I can find the default icons? | 01:48 |
| z3ro__ | i dont like wine try vmware | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | BCampbell, i always make same username on windows and linux - and give the linux a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' (i also give the user the SAME password as he uses on windows) - Or i think one can enable guest browsing/access on the samba server.. but i rarely do that | 01:48 |
| Out_Cold | z3ro__, don't i need a OS with VMware? | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis | BCampbell, i think thers some 'unknown user = guest' option that may be required also | 01:49 |
| BCampbell | Dr_willis, i shoudl create the windows user on the ubuntu box? | 01:49 |
| pike_ | enrica: that stuff is under /usr/share normally. i think /usr/share/pixmaps maybe | 01:49 |
| z3ro__ | sure but its way more stable if you have the hardware | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis | BCampbell, i always do. even if its never used. (thi is my home lan so i only have 4 users anyway) | 01:49 |

| emma | Has anyone else noticed that if you listen to HBR1.com in rhythmbox (or totem) that it stops playing with an error at the end of each track? | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis | BCampbell, you chown the share 'directory' not the share itself. | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis | BCampbell, and you may want to chmod them to a mode that lets others access them. | 02:12 |
| joe444cvb | testing, ignore | 02:12 |
| BCampbell | Dr_willis, yes, when i do chown -c it says all has been changed, but when I ls -l all still show as owned by root | 02:12 |

| baz | pike_, no harm in being paranoid if it doesn't take much more effort | 02:26 |
| doc^ | so, i did a search on the topic, and someone on some board suggested i download a aps called gpsbabel | 02:26 |

| Sylphid | pyroger101, how bout cut | 02:46 |
| KemrinH | inman Okay, I've tried unchecking them, but they check themselves again when I close the window. The volumes are turned up, but it's turned muted. | 02:46 |
| pyroger101 | i tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=893891 but that didnt want to work either | 02:46 |

| tanker_ | hello | 02:47 |
| leo_rockway | hello, tanker_ | 02:47 |
| dou213 | a question: if i open port 80 for my http-server in my router config, i am not very secure against common attacks (viruses,worms etc.) on windows clients am i? is there some other method of handling this? | 02:47 |
| Jordan_U | leo_rockway, It's a bash builtin ( so information about it will be in the bash manual, you can run type <command> to find if it's a builtin or external command ) It just runs the commands in the file you pass to it, in the current shell. So any functions or variables set / changed in the script will effect the shell you are in | 02:47 |

| ubottu | Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubottu <keyword>): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !Caps, !NickSpam, !PM, !English - And most importantly, use common sense... | 02:48 |
| leo_rockway | Jordan_U: thank you | 02:48 |
| Jordan_U | leo_rockway, np | 02:48 |
| nickrud | dou213, you would be telling the router to forward inbound port 80 traffic specifically to the ubuntu computer; no other machine would recieve that traffic | 02:48 |
| pyroger101 | sorry for asking but does anyone know how to remove a file from trash back to its origional location? its not as easy as u think... or is it:) | 02:49 |
| EEMPHASISS | (I looked in the App Manager, but couldn't see this...) Anyone know a Font Manager/database which allows (1) arbitrary grouping and (2) printing out samples organised by these groupings? | 02:49 |
| dou213 | nickrud, ok thx | 02:49 |
| linuxsoom | how do i setup my webcam | 02:49 |
| Limitt | how do i unmount something? | 02:49 |
| Limitt | in terminal? | 02:49 |
| nickrud | Limitt, sudo umount /path/to/mountpoint | 02:49 |
| kora | Limitt: sudo umount <mountpath> | 02:50 |
| dou213 | umount | 02:50 |
| Limitt | thanks | 02:50 |
| redvamp128 | pyroger101: have you opened trash and right click on the file and choose restore | 02:50 |
| dougztr | ok, guess i'll try the alternate cd, seems like the desktop one doesn't like my radeon card or something | 02:50 |
| thompa | pyroger101: just click on trash and right click on file: there is restore | 02:50 |
| Jordan_U | pyroger101, Right click > restore | 02:50 |
| pyroger101 | there is no restore option for me in ubuntu 8.04 are you using 8.10? | 02:50 |
| Jordan_U | pyroger101, It is not available in 8.04 | 02:50 |
| nickrud | pyroger101, yep it's new in 8.10 | 02:50 |
| Jordan_U | pyroger101, Did you delete the file recently? | 02:51 |
| nickrud | pyroger101, you'll have to drag it to the right folder manually :) | 02:51 |
| lifenova | pyroger101: cd ~/.local/share/Trash/files | 02:51 |
| pyroger101 | yes an hour ago, its too big to be dragged back... about 600gb :( | 02:51 |
| leo_rockway | one single file of 600GB!? | 02:51 |
| lifenova | pyroger101: then mv <filename> <destination name> | 02:51 |
| leo_rockway | woah | 02:51 |
| dougztr | my system has a lot of unsupported pci cards, think it might be an issue? | 02:51 |
| nickrud | my oh my, that's a long movie | 02:52 |
| pyroger101 | a folder... | 02:52 |
| pyroger101 | lol | 02:52 |
| EEMPHASISS | Limitt: sometimes you might have to use the -l flag (lazy or delayed unmount, kernels 2.4+ only) | 02:52 |
| pyroger101 | ok lifenova ill try that | 02:52 |
| leo_rockway | pyroger101: lifenova's way seems the best one then | 02:52 |
| Limitt | dang im going to have to run the 15 minute scan again | 02:52 |
| KemrinH | I can't get my "audio recording" toggles to toggle so I can record. | 02:53 |
| Jordan_U | pyroger101, Why can't you drag the folder back to where it needs to go? | 02:53 |
| pyroger101 | i cant because its too big jordan | 02:53 |
| leo_rockway | pyroger101: it would be the same as using the mv command | 02:53 |
| EEMPHASISS | Anyone know a Font Manager/database which allows (1) arbitrary grouping and (2) printing out samples organised by these groupings? | 02:53 |
| BCampbell | Dr_willis, thanks for the help, think I got it now... | 02:53 |
| overdub | pyroger101: shouldn't matter how big it is | 02:54 |
| pyroger101 | ok.. ummm. when i go into the /.locl/share/trash/files its not showing my full trash just some but ill keep trying thanks! | 02:54 |
| overdub | pyroger101: the data doesn't move, only the pointer to where the data is moves | 02:54 |
| pyroger101 | when i try to drag it back it thinks that the file was never fully deleted... so there is not enough space... | 02:55 |
| edgex- | Were no strangers to love | 02:55 |
| pyroger101 | i.e. i have 1tb and 600 gb is in trash so it wont fit.... if you get it. | 02:55 |
| overdub | do du -chs ~/.local/share/Trash to see how big it is | 02:55 |
| Awsoonn_ | how can I get my touchpad working? | 02:55 |
| pyroger101 | ok brb :) | 02:56 |
| Limitt | how can you figure out where something was automatically mounted | 02:57 |
| Limitt | its not in the regular folders | 02:57 |
| Jordan_U | Limitt, "mount" with no other arguments | 02:57 |
| dougztr | Limitt: look in /mnt | 02:57 |
| pyroger101 | according to my trash file in terminal i have four file but according to terminal i have two... and the one i need isnt there... i guess im looking at the wrong trash file.. | 02:57 |
| Limitt | thanks | 02:57 |
| n_ | hi, is there a way to add new search engines to konqueror? | 02:58 |
| Jordan_U | n_, Might get better help for that in #kubuntu | 02:58 |
| === dnet2 is now known as rudie_co | ||
| pyroger101 | if i upgraded to 8.10 would i loose my trash i wonder? | 02:58 |
| leo_rockway | n_: yes, you can add as many search engines as you want | 02:59 |
| overdub | pyroger101: i think you can upgrade without erasing your home directory | 02:59 |
| Limitt | this recovery disc is not letting me mount sdc my memory card anywhere its gentoo based | 02:59 |
| Sylphid | pyroger101, from the sounds of it is doesnt seem like your data is actually in the trash | 02:59 |
| leo_rockway | n_: I'm using konqueror 3.5.10, but I think it works in the same way in konqueror 4.x | 02:59 |
| Limitt | im trying to recover an ubuntu partition/ files | 02:59 |
| lifenova | pyroger101: No, only if your home folder is on a separate partition. | 02:59 |
| Sylphid | pyroger101, sudo updatedb && sudo locate <filename> | 03:00 |
| pyroger101 | ya it just seems as if the pointer is there but wont let me move it back | 03:00 |
| leo_rockway | Sylphid: that second sudo is not needed | 03:00 |
| Limitt | shoot im just gonna trash this crappy gentoo distro of system recovery and get the ubuntu version! | 03:01 |
| leo_rockway | n_: settings > configure konqueror > web shortcuts | 03:01 |
| Jordan_U | pyroger101, Was the directory on an external drive or other partition? | 03:01 |
| pyroger101 | ok.... /.Trash-1000/ does that sound right? | 03:01 |
| overdub | pyroger101: do find ~ -type d -name "your_directory_name" and see if the directory exists | 03:01 |
| Sylphid | leo_rockway, yup my mistake | 03:01 |
| grimrider | who all in here is using AchLinux? | 03:01 |
| dougztr | Limitt, I like using puppy linux for swiss army knife stuff | 03:01 |
| rsteckler | I can't figure out why my cronjob won't run... I put this in /etc/cron.d/awstats | 03:01 |

| grimrider | ArchLinux** | 03:01 |
| n_ | i found a way to add new search engines but how can i "add" them what information is needed? (never have done one on my own) | 03:02 |
| baz | I have a folder with the following perms: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 /var/lib/tomcat6.0/webapps/openbd... I would like to give my user account the ability to write to it... what do I type? | 03:02 |
| dougztr | been thinking about trying arch, might if i cant get this ubuntu cdrom to boot | 03:02 |
| pyroger101 | ok i found it | 03:02 |
| Jordan_U | grimrider, Archlinux has their own IRC channel | 03:02 |
| grimrider | Jordan_U, i know, i was just wondering who in here is using it | 03:02 |
| Limitt | puppy linux is awesome i have it | 03:02 |
| Sylphid | dougztr, be prepared for a learning curve | 03:02 |
| leo_rockway | n_: shift + F1 on the Search URI textbox explains how | 03:02 |
| Jordan_U | grimrider, It's nice but not for the faint of heart. ( I use it sometimes ) | 03:02 |
| Limitt | does it have hav TestDisk? | 03:02 |
| Sylphid | grimrider, i have used it some | 03:03 |
| _VIM_ | Puppy is sweet for as small as it is | 03:03 |
| Limitt | ppuppy linux? | 03:03 |
| yurebis | i'm using ubuntu, but don't ask me anything cuz i'm a noob | 03:03 |
| grimrider | Jordan_U, i love it. i came from ubuntu ;P | 03:03 |
| Limitt | right on | 03:03 |
| yurebis | er wrong channel | 03:03 |
| n_ | leo_rockway ah ok nice idea indeed :D | 03:03 |
| dougztr | Sylphid, I typically run gentoo, I'm just being lazy and trying to install something low-maintenence for my kid's comp | 03:03 |
| Limitt | if it has testdisk ill go ahead and boot that | 03:03 |
| leo_rockway | n_: just search for something like "hello" copy paste the URI and then replace hello with \{@} | 03:03 |
| dead2 | www.boscoslife.com loads from /var/www/bosco/index.html how do i get it to load from /home/bosco/public_html/index.html | 03:03 |

| pyroger101 | :D | 03:03 |
| iverson0881 | yurebis: how long have you been using ubuntu? | 03:03 |
| Sylphid | dougztr, ohh well in that case i love arch | 03:03 |
| pyroger101 | and everyone else that helped of course | 03:03 |
| Limitt | heck maybe its in a dot pup or wtheck they call their packages | 03:03 |
| pyroger101 | got it all back | 03:03 |
| yurebis | about three months | 03:03 |
| FloodBot1 | pyroger101: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:03 |
| carpii_ | doug, ubuntu is quite low maintenance, but id really go for 8.04 rather than 8.10 personally | 03:03 |
| dougztr | Sylphid, I've heard good things about it | 03:03 |
| pyroger101 | *phew* | 03:04 |
| pyroger101 | Thanks aswell jordan very helpful! | 03:04 |
| dougztr | carpii_, seems like the 8.10 kernel is barfing on the hardware i'm trying to boot it on | 03:04 |
| Jordan_U | pyroger101, np | 03:04 |
| carpii_ | what hardware ? | 03:04 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | i think i prefer 8.04, 8.10 still has problems with some video cards etc. | 03:05 |
| carpii_ | im not sure reverting to 8.04 would fix that. My main gripe with 8.10 is that its just unready overall | 03:05 |
| iverson0881 | yurebis: how do you like it ? | 03:05 |
| blizzardman1219\ | hello. i can't seem to get compiz fusion working in 8.10. it was working perfectly, but now nothing but the wobbly windows are working | 03:05 |
| dougztr | carpii_, its a gigabyte board, sb600 / 790fx chipset with a athlon64-x2 and a hd-3870. nothing super bleeding edge, some of the pci cards aren't super well supported | 03:05 |
| grimrider | blizzardman1219\, try using metacity --replace and then reloading compiz | 03:06 |
| undertuga | enode.org | 03:06 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | blizzardman1219\ what video card are you using? | 03:06 |

| carpii_ | doug, yure using 64 bit ubuntu, or just 32 bit ? | 03:06 |
| Jordan_U | blizzardman1219\, In what way is it not working, can you be more specific? | 03:06 |
| yurebis | iverson0881 eh it's really nice, i'm not going back to windows for anything | 03:06 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | hmm intel usually works out of the box with compiz in 8.10 | 03:07 |
| dougztr | carpii_, well its got 8G ram... | 03:07 |
| blizzardman1219\ | Jordan_U, the desktop cube is not working with any configuration, and neither is the rain or fire | 03:07 |
| vicky1 | hi i need help in delelting an account with out logging in to it plz help me | 03:07 |
| grimrider | blizzardman1219\, what chipset is it? | 03:07 |
| carpii_ | hehe, not bad for a 'kids computer' :D | 03:07 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | do you know what intel card it is blizzardman1219\? | 03:07 |
| blizzardman1219\ | T1T4N1UM_M4N, it was working out of the box, but now it suddenly stopped | 03:07 |
| Jordan_U | blizzardman1219\, Do you have the rotate cube plugin enabled? | 03:07 |
| blizzardman1219\ | grimrider, intel 965 | 03:07 |
| dougztr | carpi_, this is my frankenstein system, its made from some leftover parts :-) | 03:07 |

| wxl | thanks so much! | 03:09 |
| redvamp128 | kora: google gadgets | 03:09 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | blizzardman1219\ i used to have an 845 and it couldnt do rain or fire but a 965 should work | 03:09 |
| mroc1 | this might sound like an odd question....is anyone in this room? my people list shows 0 and i only see the welcome message. | 03:09 |
| lifenova | mroc1: Yes, there are people in the room :P | 03:09 |
| lstarnes | mroc1: according to my client, 1287 users | 03:09 |
| leo_rockway | mroc1: there are 1287 people | 03:09 |
| vicky1 | they life nova i get this error - vivek is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported...wat do i do!!? | 03:10 |
| Jordan_U | mroc1, Yes, there are 1,287 people in this room, maybe your client had an overflow :) | 03:10 |
| dougztr | vicky1: hancuff yourself to the chair and wait for the cops to arrive | 03:10 |
| blizzardman1219\ | is there a way for me to restart compiz somehow? maybe that would help... desktop effects is working, but that's nothing like compiz | 03:10 |
| n_ | leo_rockway ah ok works nice thx | 03:10 |
| leo_rockway | dougztr: lol | 03:10 |
| vicky1 | lol | 03:10 |
| leo_rockway | n_: np | 03:10 |
| vicky1 | i need help buddy plz | 03:10 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | replace --compiz | 03:11 |
| redvamp128 | blizzardman1219\: have you looked into compiz switch? | 03:11 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | it may be around the other way :P | 03:11 |
| leo_rockway | vicky1: you need to use the user that got created during installation to delete the user or to add you to the sudoers list | 03:11 |
| blizzardman1219\ | redvamp128, i don't even know what that is :/ | 03:11 |
| yoyoned | vicky1: with? | 03:11 |
| Jordan_U | vicky1, Do you have another account ( that does have permission to use sudo ) ? | 03:11 |
| wxl | how to put two different ext3 partitions together without date damage? | 03:11 |
| redvamp128 | blizzardman1219\: here about 1/2 down on the page-- I use it to turn compiz on and off easy Forlong's Blog - I'm trying to comprehend the things I write <http://forlong.blogage.de/en> | 03:11 |
| Sylphid | vicky1, the user that you are logged into does not have administrative permissions.... you need to log into an administrative account to do user modification | 03:11 |
| vicky1 | no only mine which i scrwed up with compiz it hangs when i try 2 log in | 03:11 |
| kora | redvamp128: im not looking for different gadgets, i already use screenlets, im just looking for a way to replace the widget layer of compiz since i dont want to use compiz | 03:12 |
| phr0ze | Hello all. | 03:12 |
| vicky1 | only my account has sudo n it not responding | 03:12 |
| Sylphid | vicky1, try su <otheruser> | 03:12 |
| redvamp128 | kora: I was suggesting that because you don't need compiz to run G.G | 03:12 |
| Sylphid | vicky1, then sudo | 03:12 |
| iverson0881 | are there any good guides out there for setting up OpenLDAP on ubuntu? | 03:12 |
| leo_rockway | hello phr0ze | 03:12 |
| phr0ze | I've lost all sound in a recent update. Everything was working better than ever. arggg... Ibex. | 03:13 |
| Sylphid | vicky1, however you will need to give another user administrative permissions before removing the administrative user | 03:13 |
| redvamp128 | phr0ze: have you tried -- signing into the prior kernel in grub? | 03:13 |
| vicky1 | it says su: Authentication failure | 03:13 |
| phr0ze | I can do that. But if it works, then what? | 03:13 |
| redvamp128 | phr0ze: that would tell you if it was a kernel update-- that caused the issue... | 03:14 |
| vicky1 | yes thats the prob....can i uninstall compiz with out sudo power?? | 03:14 |
| Sylphid | vicky1, did it prompt for a password? | 03:14 |
| vicky1 | yes | 03:14 |
| Sylphid | vicky1, ok you need to use the password for your original account | 03:14 |
| Limitt | whats dev/sr1? | 03:14 |
| redvamp128 | phr0ze: then from there you could edit grub and keep using the old. | 03:14 |
| vicky1 | oh | 03:14 |
| kora | redvamp128: ah i c thanks then, but id like to keep the screenlets since i wrote some myself. screenlets work well without compiz, its just that there is no layer on which to put them so you can blend them away if not needed | 03:14 |
| leo_rockway | phr0ze: and report a bug too | 03:14 |
| phr0ze | ok. Does that risk screwing anything else up? It was two kernels before (I think there were two this week?) | 03:15 |
| dead2 | www.boscoslife.com loads from /var/www/bosco/index.html how do i get it to load from /home/bosco/public_html/index.html | 03:15 |

| Limitt | is sr1 sata? | 03:15 |
| Limitt | dev/sr1 | 03:15 |
| redvamp128 | phr0ze: another thing to try is to reconfig alsa-- but try the easy first to see if it was a kernel update first that caused the issue. | 03:15 |
| phr0ze | ok. thanks. I'll be back. Should I just go back two, since thats the last I heard anything? | 03:16 |
| vicky1 | gr8 it worked | 03:16 |
| leo_rockway | dead2: edit /etc/apach2/sites-available and change the DocumentRoot line | 03:16 |

| gaintsura | could someone help me with sshfs? I can authenticate via normal ssh, and when I view the secure log, it says I connect then disconnect. when I show debug info with sshfs it says permission denied, but I can't figure out why | 03:17 |
| Awsoonn_ | mroc2: how are they raided? windows software raid? hardware raid? | 03:17 |
| Sylphid | vicky1, sudo usermod -aG adm <user> | 03:17 |
| mroc2 | Awsoonn_: well, i'm not sure. how would i determine that? | 03:18 |
| Awsoonn_ | mroc2: did it come preinstalled that way or did you set up the RAID? | 03:18 |
| Sylphid | vicky1, sorry its admin not adm | 03:18 |
| mroc2 | Awsoonn_: it came that way from dell. (it's a laptop...didn't know if i mentioned that, model m1730 if that's useful) | 03:19 |

| vicky1 | in the exsiting 1? | 03:22 |
| Sylphid | vicky1, you will need to reboot into the recovery console to add permissions | 03:22 |
| vicky1 | how do i do that!?!? | 03:23 |

| Level_5 | hey, can anyone help me out configuring my wireless card? | 03:33 |
| md22_ | hello | 03:33 |
| Awsoonn_ | Level_5: what's up? | 03:33 |
| dilipgarg | After I removed totem player and plugins, and installed mplayer - i could play the streaming videos online... | 03:33 |
| jamiejackson | my sound just crackles when a sound is supposed to play. this started maybe a week ago. can someone help me troubleshoot? | 03:33 |
| dilipgarg | but after I did the first major package upgrade of about 250 packages.. the videos stopped playing | 03:33 |
| dilipgarg | can I revert back those updates somehow? | 03:34 |
| Level_5 | Awsoonn_, i'm running 8.04 on an HP dv9819wm and I'm having trouble getting the wireless card recognized | 03:34 |
| md22_ | i see two video cards on sale for $50 radeon 3850 with 256MB and a geforce 8600GT with 512. which one is best to use with ubuntu | 03:34 |
| mroc2 | Awsoonn_: ok. i'm checking to see if i can find anything on this system from dell. i've backed things up. if it indeed is hardware, it should be safe to install? | 03:34 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | get the 3850!!!! | 03:34 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | 3850 is about twice the performance | 03:34 |
| md22_ | ok | 03:34 |
| md22_ | thanks | 03:35 |
| Awsoonn_ | mroc2: yea, if it is hardware RAID then the OS will just see a single drive just like any other HDD | 03:35 |
| phr0ze | Yep. absolutely no sound with 2.6.27-11 | 03:35 |
| leo_rockway | md22: I'd go for Radeon | 03:35 |
| md22_ | ok | 03:35 |
| mroc2 | Awsoonn_: ok, great. thanks for the answer. | 03:35 |
| Awsoonn_ | Level_5: is there any reason not install 8.10? the wireless drivers are MUCH MUCH better in 8.10 | 03:35 |
| jamiejackson | talkin to me, phr0ze? | 03:35 |
| fxhp | Does ati even work on ubuntu? | 03:35 |
| Awsoonn_ | mroc2: np, any time ^_^ | 03:35 |
| phr0ze | Also I used to have a problem with my mouse disabled on boot up in like gutsy. It's been fine for a long time and now its back too. | 03:35 |
| Level_5 | i had 8.10 on it and had the same trouble | 03:36 |
| Awsoonn_ | fxhp: yea, the open source drivers are even quite good, I'm using them now | 03:36 |
| phr0ze | jamiejackson: talking to who ever is listening | 03:36 |
| dougztr | fxhp, i have a radeon hd-4830 working | 03:36 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | the reason the wireless in 8.10 is better is because the 2.6.27 kernel has a load of wireless drivers | 03:36 |
| jamiejackson | i've got same issue, was wondering if you were commenting on it. trying to troubleshoot it myself, but i don't have the skillz | 03:36 |
| Awsoonn_ | Level_5: I'm going to assume you had installed all up dates, then opened the hardware drivers applicaiton and activated your closed source drivers and rebooted? | 03:36 |
| dilipgarg | anyone - please? | 03:37 |
| phr0ze | I just pushed esc when booting up and used the old kernel. The sound came back | 03:37 |
| Level_5 | Yeah I did that | 03:37 |
| lubosz | hi | 03:37 |
| phr0ze | You should try that jamiejackson | 03:37 |
| lubosz | is there a ppa repo with opengl 3.0 support? | 03:37 |
| lubosz | glut and glew libs | 03:37 |
| jkellen | hello! | 03:37 |
| lubosz | and optinally nvidia drivers | 03:37 |
| dilipgarg | I want to revert the system state back to where it was, before I installed a mass upgrade of about 250 packages | 03:37 |
| leo_rockway | fxhp: does nvidia even work with GNU/Linux? ;-) | 03:37 |
| jkellen | I need some help with Cheese if someone is willing to help? | 03:38 |
| Awsoonn_ | dilipgarg: There is no way that I am aware of... easily at least | 03:38 |
| Awsoonn_ | jkellen: what's up? | 03:38 |
| dilipgarg | Awsoon_, this is friggin sad! | 03:38 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | yes nvidia does work | 03:38 |
| jamiejackson | phr0ze: have you seen any bugs reported on the new kernel that seem to fit? | 03:38 |
| jkellen | I only get "snow" when I pull up the program. | 03:38 |
| fxhp | leo_rockway: Very well from what i've tested | 03:38 |
| phr0ze | not yet. I did a few quick searches | 03:38 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | im a radeon man myself | 03:38 |
| Awsoonn_ | dilipgarg: no kidding, update just wiped out my touchpad. :) I'm in the same boat as you | 03:38 |
| jkellen | I need to figure out how to get my webcam working. | 03:38 |
| leo_rockway | fxhp: work with GNU/Linux as in "cooperate" | 03:38 |
| lubosz | T1T4N1UM_M4N: where to get the nvidia ppa drivers? | 03:39 |
| jamiejackson | i could swear that i've gotten three kernel updates in almost as many days, phr0ze, so which kernel did you revert to? | 03:39 |
| Level_5 | Awsoonn_, i'm going to give that another shot and see what happens | 03:39 |
| jkellen | Any ideas on what I need to do to configure it? | 03:39 |
| phr0ze | Ohh one more thing I noticed with the new kernel. DKMS doesnt seem to fire. | 03:39 |
| dilipgarg | I am even planning to re-install the damn thing - if it comes to that! | 03:39 |
| phr0ze | 2.6.27-9 jamie | 03:39 |
| Awsoonn_ | jkellen: what do you want to do with your webcam in the end? I find that even though it won't work in any applications skype works just fine and I'm using just such a webcam now :) | 03:39 |
| T1T4N1UM_M4N | well i know tat nvidia does work but i dont have any nvidia cards in my pssetion so no i dont know where to get nvidia ppa drivers | 03:39 |
| smackpotato | I get an aditional floating editbox that steals the focus when ever i enter data in an editbox. Ithappens in firefox and the gimp, Comments sugestions. | 03:39 |
| jamiejackson | thx, phr0ze | 03:39 |
| phr0ze | yeah good luck | 03:40 |
| Awsoonn_ | Level_5: yea, wirelss is a pain to get running, I will not suger-caot it | 03:40 |
| jkellen | I wanted to use the cool features it has to make some cool pics with the webcam part. | 03:40 |
| trigg3r | does anyone know anything about dual monitors on a macbook 2,1 | 03:40 |
| Awsoonn_ | Level_5: It often takes a good 5-10 minutes for it to detect it's first signal for soem reason, maybe that is just me though... | 03:40 |
| La_KaRne | bonsoir | 03:40 |
| jkellen | Is "Skype" part of Utunube or whatever? | 03:41 |
| jkellen | Or can you get it for Windows? | 03:41 |
| werdnum | Ubuntlube. | 03:41 |
| mishkins\ | can someone give me a simple bash script to move all avi files from a dir and all dirs within, to another central location (ie all avi in one folder when was in many folders) | 03:41 |
| Awsoonn_ | jkellen: you can get skype for linux, windows and mac | 03:41 |
| phr0ze | jkellen: Skype can be installed | 03:41 |
| werdnum | jkellen: no, you can get it for any OS. | 03:41 |
| KronicDreamer | skype is universal | 03:41 |
| La_KaRne | nobody speak french here? | 03:41 |
| jkellen | I see; does it do the same stuff as Cheese? | 03:41 |
| Out_Cold | when i put in a usb drive it says i'm not privlidged to mount it. i tried running sudo mount /dev/usb with no results. | 03:42 |
| leo_rockway | La_KaRne: I do, but there's also #ubuntu-fr | 03:42 |
| jtaji | !fr | La_KaRne | 03:42 |
| ubottu | La_KaRne: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 03:42 |
| La_KaRne | thanks | 03:42 |
| jkellen | Before I try out Skype, any ideas on how I can at least get my webcam working for Cheese? | 03:43 |
| leo_rockway | jkellen: Skype is a proprietary piece of software that lets you participate in a videoconference | 03:43 |
| mishkins\ | cause I have a bash script to unrar say a season of a tv show... but then I have to manually move all the avi files out of their episode dirs | 03:43 |
| jkellen | I spent all day trying to figure out how to get it, and when I did, it doesn't work right? :0 | 03:43 |
| trigg3r | i cant get my external monitor to work | 03:43 |
| mishkins\ | so I could really use a little bash script to batch move them to a single folder (the avi files) | 03:43 |
| phr0ze | mishkins. I had something that did this.. Ill see if I can find it | 03:43 |
| dead2 | does anyone know of a better deal on vps other than linode.com | 03:44 |
| jkellen | Well, that doesn't sound the same as Cheese, then. | 03:44 |
| smackpotato | mish somthing like mv *avi /the directory to move to | 03:44 |
| Awsoonn_ | jkellen: simple anwser is I don't know how, I havn't been successfull at gettign cheese to work for me, but then again I havn't tried too hard yet | 03:44 |
| leo_rockway | jkellen: nope, it doesn't | 03:44 |
| Out_Cold | can someone help me figure out why i'm not privileged enough to mount usb sticks? | 03:44 |
| mishkins\ | smackpotato don't you need to specifiy the dirrectory the file is in alreayd in the move command... how do I do that so it's variable? | 03:44 |
| jkellen | I see; thanks for your help! Anybody else then with any ideas on how to get my webcam working with Cheese...please? | 03:44 |
| mishkins\ | this is the unrar script: | 03:45 |
| mishkins\ | #!/bin/bash | 03:45 |
| mishkins\ | for i in $(find $(pwd) -name '*.rar') | 03:45 |
| mishkins\ | do | 03:45 |

| FloodBot1 | mishkins\: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:45 |
| phr0ze | jkellen, skype tends to have its own configuration difficulties with sound sometimes. good luck | 03:45 |
| redvamp128 | Out_Cold: What is the file system- ntfs? and normally with my Ubuntu I stick a stick in and it automounts it | 03:45 |
| jkellen | Okay, thanks! | 03:46 |
| jkellen | Well, if no one else here is familiar with how to get a webcam to work with Cheese, then I guess I will just email support. | 03:46 |
| Out_Cold | redvamp128, I tried with a few different file systems, currently i believe it's fat32 and it did use to automount, not anymore | 03:46 |
| mishkins\ | one folder full of 24 folders, each with a avi... how do I move them all to another single dir.... or even just up one dir | 03:47 |
| phr0ze | Out cold, did you install using a USB device? | 03:47 |
| redvamp128 | jkellen: I had issues with my webcam and 8.10 worked perfect with 8.04 | 03:47 |
| Out_Cold | phr0ze, install what? | 03:47 |
| phr0ze | Ubuntu. How did you install it | 03:47 |
| jkellen | Did you just download the latest version, then? | 03:47 |
| redvamp128 | jkellen: I could not get cheese to see it but used another program and it worked. | 03:47 |
| Out_Cold | Live Cd | 03:47 |

| jkellen | Does it maybe have anything to do with my gstreamer properties? | 03:49 |
| redvamp128 | phr0ze: did the sound work with the older kernel? | 03:49 |
| jkellen | And how exactly do I configure those? | 03:49 |
| Out_Cold | well it used to work fine, and one day just stopped. now it says i'm not privileged enough. i think the device was sdb but that doesn't work when i try to mount that either | 03:49 |
| Awsoonn_ | the 4306 I have had many frustrating successes. | 03:50 |

| maxxist | is there anyone who uses the cube rotate effect in compiz? who gets a distorted white streak underneath the gnome top panel? everything else looks and runs perfect. just wondering if there is a way to fix? | 03:50 |
| Awsoonn_ | maxxist: known bug on 5 systems of mine (all of them) | 03:50 |

| phr0ze | mish, did you try cp -r *.avi newdirectory | 03:53 |
| Brando753 | i iused wubi | 03:53 |
| Brando753 | :D | 03:53 |
| redvamp128 | jkellen: the one I had to use to get the camera working was easycam -- (but for some reason with 8.04.2 it just works in cheese) | 03:53 |
| doc|home | hey, I changed my password a while back using passwd and it seems to have kinda broken some stuff. Now when I log into my desktop it tries to connect to wireless and asks me for the old password. I've tried resetting the password using the standard gnome interface but it hasn't made any difference. Anyone come across this? | 03:53 |
| jkellen | ok thanks! | 03:54 |
| Awsoonn_ | Brando753: even when you use wubi you can decide to do differant things, but lets try something ^)^ are you familiar with the terminal? | 03:54 |
| Brando753 | basic commands yes | 03:54 |
| patmanpato | how can we find the "domain name" for my machine ? | 03:55 |
| Awsoonn_ | Brando753: 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' wil mount the first partition of the first HDD in your system to the /mnt directory | 03:55 |
| Sylphid | doc|home, sounds like your referring to your keyring password witch is not related to your user password | 03:55 |
| mishkins\ | phr0ze: nope I will try that and get back to you | 03:56 |
| redvamp128 | maxxist: I can rotate the cube just fine -- and I have a Geforce4 MX 4000 (64mb video card) http://imagebin.ca/view/fTj5cmcq.html picture of my cube | 03:56 |

| Mood | patmanpato: hostname? | 03:56 |
| redvamp128 | that one is before the patch maxxist | 03:56 |
| Awsoonn_ | can someone help me figure out how to fix my touchpad on 8.10? | 03:57 |
| darksifer | ok i have my hdd partition setup as this: 1st partition for opensuse and the 2nd for ubuntu. i did not like opensuse and since i had to use visual studio i remove the opensuse and install this shit of windows xp. and now i cant get load my ubuntu. i hav read somewhere on the net how to solve this problem but i cannot find it. i will be grateful if anyone can help.plz | 03:57 |
| patmanpato | hmm, not the hostname, its just i am installing slackware on another machine and its asking for the hostname and the domain name, so i was just curious what the domain name would be on my ubuntu box | 03:57 |
| roccity_ | patmanpato, is it a laptop or desktop? | 03:58 |
| Brando753 | thanks how do i unmount | 03:58 |
| La_KaRne | i can t enter in #ubuntu;fr | 03:58 |
| doc|home | Sylphid: ok, got any info on how I change that? | 03:58 |
| patmanpato | roccity_: a desktop | 03:58 |
| redvamp128 | maxxist: http://imagebin.ca/view/63j3As_f.html that is one after the 24 fix | 03:58 |
| roccity_ | patmanpato, I think if you went with the defaults on install of ubuntu it would be username-desktop or username-laptop | 03:58 |
| fr500 | hi | 03:59 |
| phr0ze | hi | 03:59 |
| fr500 | has anyone got a d945gclf2 here? | 03:59 |
| Sylphid | doc|home, looking | 03:59 |
| patmanpato | roccity_: i thought that was the hostname though? whats the difference between a hostname and domainname ? | 03:59 |
| doc|home | Sylphid: thanks | 03:59 |

| mishkins\ | phr0ze: cp -r *.avi /home/mishkin/dump/ yeilded: "cp: cannot stat *.avi : No such file or dirrectory" | 04:00 |
| Sylphid | doc|home, looks like there are 2 apps you can download that will let you change the password.... gnome-keyring-manager or seahorse | 04:01 |
| phr0ze | Try a path.... cp -r /home/mishkin/avi/*.avi /home/mishkin/dump/ | 04:01 |
| Sylphid | doc|home, the only built in way to change the password is to delete your keyring and start from scratch ... meaning you would loose any save passwords | 04:01 |
| Keith1 | Good evening all. I just installed Ubuntu on my desktop again. I bought a Netgear wireless pci adapter (BCM43XG). On first boot, the wireless worked perfectly fine, then I installed the new nVidia driver and it vanished from the Hardware Drivers app. It's back in there, shown as enabled, but I can not see any network connections with it. ndis also fails. Any ideas? =\ (I've already tried using an older kernel) | 04:01 |
| BlindCamel | i have a geforce 8400 gs im having trouble installing the drivers on my new ubuntu install | 04:02 |
| roccity_ | patmanpato, host name is the name of the machine and doain name is the domain that it belongs to | 04:02 |
| doc|home | Sylphid: ok, thank you | 04:02 |
| roccity_ | patmanpato, so on slackware one part of the install asks for the hostname like slackware | 04:03 |
| Keith1 | BlindCamel: go to nvidias site, download the driver you require; then press ctrl+alt+6, login and type 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop'; then run the file you downloaded as 'sudo sh filehere' | 04:03 |
| Keith1 | I just installed my 8600gts drivers and that worked for me | 04:03 |
| roccity_ | patmanpato, the next screen asks for the domain ie. linux.net | 04:03 |
| Keith1 | Also worked on my 8400 pc | 04:03 |
| smackpotato | I get an aditional floating editbox that steals the focus when ever i enter data in an editbox. Ithappens in firefox and the gimp, Comments sugestions. | 04:03 |
| Keith1 | BlindCamel: Also, make sure you have build-essential and the headers for your kernel installed | 04:04 |
| durt | Keith1: Jockey's 173/177/180 not working for 8000 series? | 04:04 |
| Saw5-PAPets | How come I was invited here? | 04:04 |
| patmanpato | roccity_: ah, thanks :) | 04:04 |
| Keith1 | durt: I googled forever trying to get my graphics to work, what you mentioned doesn't ring a bell as something I saw | 04:04 |
| roccity_ | patmanpato, which is going to be the server the slack box or ubuntu box? | 04:05 |
| Keith1 | durt: But downloading the 180.22 from nvidias site and doing it myself worked perfectly.... except I think it fudged my wireless | 04:05 |
| durt | Keith1: jockey is just the app that installs the Nvidia restricted drivers | 04:05 |
| roccity_ | patmanpato, I would use slack for the server as ubuntu will pick up the rest quite easily | 04:05 |
| Keith1 | durt: The one by default in Ubuntu? Nope, didnt work | 04:05 |
| === weechat_user is now known as linuxsoom | ||
| patmanpato | roccity_: yep, i'll use slack as the server | 04:06 |
| durt | Keith1: hmmm, hardy? intrepid? | 04:06 |
| edward | hey guys i just applied the restricted drivers for my wireless n card | 04:06 |
| Keith1 | durt: ibex | 04:06 |
| edward | and it seems i have to type in this cmd: sudo modprobe -r b43 b44 ssb wl | 04:06 |

| edward | i have to type that in | 04:06 |
| edward | to start my adapter | 04:06 |
| edward | why cant it just automatically start? | 04:07 |
| bjb1959 | anyone know how to reinstall the bootloader. did an auto upgrade and all of a sudden my computer won't boot | 04:07 |
| edward | or what do i have to do | 04:07 |

| j-b-r | Can anyone help me with my nvidia drivers? I've tried every obvious thing you can think of. | 04:08 |
| durt | Keith1: 180 is in there for me, but I have a 6200 | 04:08 |
| j-b-r | It's not in the driver manager | 04:08 |
| Keith1 | j-b-r: Whats wrong with them? | 04:08 |
| j-b-r | I have to run in "low graphics mode" | 04:08 |
| Keith1 | durt: IT shows up, but it wouldnt work, id get a blank screen on every boot, setting res etc in xorg.conf didnt work | 04:08 |
| Keith1 | j-b-r: what card do you have | 04:08 |
| j-b-r | RIVA TNT2 | 04:09 |
| j-b-r | It's supported in the oldest (71) set | 04:09 |
| edward | ok guys | 04:09 |
| Keith1 | j-b-r: and theres a difference between low graphics and a good driver with that old thing? lol | 04:09 |
| edward | is there any way | 04:09 |
| bjb1959 | should I just do a google search to find out how to reinstall the bootloader or can someone help? | 04:09 |
| edward | for me to avoid loading my new pci wireless n adapter like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/112335/ | 04:09 |
| Keith1 | bjb1959: boot with a live cd, recovery mode, and google grub commands | 04:09 |
| j-b-r | I could use a real resolution and maybe some compiz stuff if I had drivers | 04:09 |
| durt | Keith1: j-b-r: There's a readme on the download page on Nvidia's site that shows what driver version works with which card | 04:09 |

| j-b-r | It's the oldest in the set formerly known as the legacy drivers | 04:11 |
| Sanjeev | is Ubuntu the most popular distribution out there? | 04:11 |
| Keith1 | Sanjeev: its debatable, but most here would say yes | 04:12 |
| phr0ze | yes | 04:12 |
| danbhfive | Sanjeev I think there is a website for that | 04:12 |
| redvamp128 | bjb1959: silly question but after the upgrade -- did you edit the sources list to verify that all the hardy values were changed to intrepid there? | 04:12 |
| Sanjeev | dahbnfive: sorry | 04:12 |
| Sylphid | Sanjeev, distrowatch.com has a good comparison | 04:12 |
| Sanjeev | ok thanks | 04:12 |
| _VIM_ | according to distrowatch.com Ubuntu's been #1 for ages | 04:12 |
| durt | j-b-r: ya I know, I couldn't get my old GeForce2 to work last fall, bought a cheap 6200 for $35 CND. | 04:12 |
| maxxist | redvamp128 good compiz site thanx. hope that worked. brb | 04:13 |
| bjb1959 | I didn't upgrade from hardy. it was just an normal package update | 04:13 |
| j-b-r | Meh. If it really just refuses to work I'll probably put in an even older card | 04:13 |
| j-b-r | I just want to have some type of hardware acceleration | 04:14 |

| YooPhGluP | does anyone know anything about "ultumix"??? | 04:14 |
| j-b-r | durt: Yeah, that's what I've noticed. | 04:14 |
| Keith1 | Does anyone know how to get Broadcom B43 working? It was working for me but all of a sudden died. Chipset is BCM43XG rev 01. Shows as enabled in Hardware Drivers, but.... well, isnt | 04:15 |
| j-b-r | durt: There's no real difference between that and "low graphics mode" as far as I can tell | 04:15 |
| _VIM_ | leroy: that or sudo lshw |less | 04:15 |
| phr0ze | ok. I should google. But are there point releases for 8.10? I'd like to have the latest on the install disk since nvidia drivers aren't great. | 04:15 |
| redvamp128 | j-b-c: which nvidia card is it again | 04:15 |
| leroy | Keith1, have you tried to deactivate the driver, then activate again? | 04:15 |
| bjb1959 | anyone? restore my bootloader? | 04:15 |
| j-b-r | It's a RIVA TNT2 Model 64 | 04:15 |
| leroy | _VIM_, what is the df command mean? | 04:15 |
| phr0ze | bj, wish I could help you | 04:16 |
| Keith1 | leroy: millions of times; ive gone as far as compiling the b43 thing myself, trying ndis (which showed hardware present, but couldnt do anything with it) | 04:16 |
| nightrid3r | phr0ze: there's a new release evry 6 month so point releases are not going to happen | 04:16 |
| redvamp128 | j-b-c: I ran that card with Win2k -- I will see what nvidia says though guessing probably the 96 | 04:16 |
| durt | j-b-r: I think the prob is compiling old nvidia drivers on newer distros, maybe libc, gcc discrepancies etc. | 04:16 |
| WebcamWonder | Question: Ubuntuzilla only does 32bit? Even for 64bit, they install the 32bit version? | 04:16 |
| phr0ze | yeah... thats what I thought. | 04:16 |
| j-b-r | The 71 drivers are still in the repo... | 04:16 |
| j-b-r | It's 71, by the way | 04:16 |
| edward | is there any way for me to avoid manually loading my pci wireless n adapter http://paste.ubuntu.com/112335/ | 04:16 |
| edward | ? | 04:17 |
| redvamp128 | that is what the nvidia site says | 04:17 |
| danbhfive | bjb1959: I think you may need to pastebin your menu.lst and describe your harddisk layout. But, to be honest, I've always had better luck just having a separate /home and reinstalling... | 04:17 |
| leroy | _VIM_, i need to format and erase my usb drive. is it sudo mkfs.etx3 /dvs/sdb1 or something like that? | 04:17 |
| j-b-r | I just wish my xorg.conf or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg would do what they are supposed to... | 04:17 |
| edward | is there any way for me to avoid manually loading my pci wireless n adapter http://paste.ubuntu.com/112335/ | 04:17 |
| Keith1 | edward: doing what you pasted makes it work? | 04:18 |
| dougztr | edward, ist that a wmp300n ? | 04:18 |
| phr0ze | night | 04:18 |
| bjb1959 | redvamp128 what size partition do you recommend for a seperate /home? | 04:18 |
| redvamp128 | j-b-r: all I found was 71 but about 3 of them 71.86.06, 71.86.04 , 71.86.01 | 04:18 |
| danbhfive | edward: maybe post a bug report if its not working properly? | 04:18 |
| Pnux | hey, whats the best solution for readin .chm files? | 04:18 |
| Pnux | reading* | 04:18 |
| redvamp128 | bjb1959: I installed mine with letting it take over the drive so I can't help you there | 04:19 |
| j-b-r | The problem isn't that the drivers don't work, though | 04:19 |
| _VIM_ | leroy: not too sure... maybe google it :) | 04:19 |
| danbhfive | Pnux: I think wine comes with a reader | 04:19 |
| j-b-r | It's that I can't install them! | 04:19 |
| ryanprior | When I left-click and right-click at the same time, it simulates a middle-click instead. I never use that functionality purposely, and it's interfering with a game I play which expects a right-click followed closely by a left-click. How do I disable the feature? | 04:19 |
| j-b-r | If I use the nvidia installer, it fails to compile a module for my kernel | 04:19 |
| bjb1959 | danbhfive, oops I meant to ask you. if I reinstall what size should I make the partition that holds the /home? | 04:19 |
| redvamp128 | j-b-r: you have build essentials installed? | 04:20 |
| BlindCamel | Keith1~ i downloaded the file and tried the ctrl+alt+6 and it does nothing | 04:20 |
| j-b-r | yes | 04:20 |
| leroy | when i format my usb drive, it needs to be unmounted right? | 04:20 |
| danbhfive | bjb1959: how big is your harddrive? whats the layour? | 04:20 |
| danbhfive | *layout | 04:20 |

| durt | j-b-r: don't worry we'll be here all night, try the veal | 04:21 |
| j-b-r | Ugh. this would be easier if I were at the computer in question | 04:22 |
| linux_guy | any idea on the usb drive? | 04:22 |
| linux_guy | should it be unmounted to format? | 04:22 |
| BlindCamel | how do i run a driver file i have downloaded and saved ? | 04:22 |
| j-b-r | Ok, I'm at the computer now | 04:23 |
| cantik | HAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY | 04:23 |
| danbhfive | bjb1959: well, I would suggest at least 1g combined ram and swap, 8g for /, and as much as you want for /home. /home is where all your files and settings go | 04:23 |
| Keith1 | BlindCamel: install your kernel headers and build-essential (linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential) | 04:24 |

| j-b-r | but that's my fault | 04:26 |
| leroy | i did it earlier today | 04:26 |
| j-b-r | The one I was getting before is... | 04:26 |
| _VIM_ | yeah use gparted , or at least get Gparted's Live CD | 04:26 |
| leroy | i used mkfs.etx3 /dev/sdb1 or something | 04:26 |
| leroy | does that sound right? | 04:26 |
| tyl3rs123 | I have nvidia 7950 gtx installed and when i restart my computer it takes the driver off? any can any one help? | 04:26 |
| ryanprior | leroy: Did you try gparted? | 04:27 |
| aaroninfidel | when going to System>Preferences>Sessions where is the startup list that it is using located? | 04:28 |
| leroy | ryanprior, sorry, no. i am looking for the command i used this morning mkfs something | 04:28 |
| ryanprior | leroy: You can read the man pages for fdisk and mkfs and all that you care about the means more than the end, but generally gparted makes good decisions about how to format things and it's a very easy way to handle those taks. | 04:28 |

| elkbuntu | cantik, are you going to ask a question or contribute anything meaningful? | 04:41 |
| linuxman410 | do they have a help channel for ubuntu ppc | 04:41 |
| elkbuntu | linuxman410, did you try #ubuntu-ppc? | 04:42 |
| _VIM_ | yes linuxman410 they do #ubuntu-ppc | 04:42 |
| _VIM_ | there's only 7 people in there though...good luck with that :) | 04:43 |

| _VIM_ | alt+f2 type in cairo-dock | 04:44 |
| Neosporin420 | ? in the terminal? | 04:44 |
| _VIM_ | no | 04:44 |

| Neosporin420 | righton | 04:45 |
| _VIM_ | Neosporin420: try gnome-do | 04:45 |
| _VIM_ | gnome-do is supposed to be the latest, greatest dock | 04:45 |
| Neosporin420 | nice! | 04:45 |
| _VIM_ | rainmanp7: version 9 of what? | 04:45 |
| thechris | What kernel version does 8.10 normally use? | 04:45 |
| gpryatel | i was looking to try rsync but i'm sorta noob & have a couple questions. should i link to the post i made on the forums? | 04:46 |
| Neosporin420 | where can I find some good tutorials? I like videos ;) lol | 04:46 |
| antioch | If I'm dual-booting Ubuntu, do I have to install it on the same disk as the MBR? | 04:46 |
| _VIM_ | GUI rsync = gnome-schedule :) | 04:46 |
| Sylphid | rainmanp7, _VIM_ im assuming your refering to jaunty? 9.04 if so yes there are some using it | 04:46 |
| rainmanp7 | _VIM_ ver9 of Ubuntu with Ext4 and such I just got it installed | 04:46 |
| Fezzler | ubuntu is so cool. Only thinking I can't do is sync my older Palm m500 mail with Evolution. | 04:46 |
| _VIM_ | rainmanp7: ah | 04:46 |
| maxxist | is there anyone who uses the cube rotate effect in compiz? who gets a distorted white streak underneath the gnome top panel? everything else looks and runs perfect. just wondering if there is a way to fix? I tried forlongs "sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24" command, it didnt fix it. I also tried to transparency the dock, it worked but didnt remove the lines. and more spots this could be fixed in? its nvid | 04:46 |
| maxxist | ia, if that helps. | 04:46 |
| thechris | It looks like Udevd hangs at boot with the default kernel in 8.10 amd64 -- Is there a fix? | 04:46 |
| antioch | _VIM_: gnome+do isnt really a dock, now is it? | 04:48 |
| thechris | anyone familar with ubuntu for amd64? | 04:48 |
| linux_guy | how do you format and erase a usb drive from the command line? | 04:48 |
| maxxist | thechris I use it. on intel | 04:49 |
| rainmanp7 | _VIM_ i ran into some things and fixed them ,but i could'nt login to the forum server to post the fix stuff :( but I love the speed and love the new 9 compared to 8 for me at least | 04:49 |
| thechris | maxxist: is 8.10 able to use the default kernel? | 04:49 |
| Samma3l | hi there, is anyone able to help me troubleshoot my wireless connection? | 04:49 |
| maxxist | thechris do you want to run 32 bit apps? | 04:50 |
| thechris | maxxist: right now i'm trying to solve my boot issues | 04:50 |
| thechris | maxxist: the default kernel option fails to boot between usb detection and udevd | 04:51 |
| thechris | maxxist: 2.6.27 as an option works. | 04:52 |
| pepperjack | linux_guy: you want to format it? | 04:52 |
| Myles | hi | 04:52 |
| aaroninfidel | when going to System>Preferences>Sessions where is the startup list that it is using located? | 04:52 |
| === travis is now known as Guest90529 | ||
| Myles | investigating | 04:52 |
| Neosporin420 | how do automate startup items? like the cairo-dock? thanks in advance ;) | 04:52 |
| linux_guy | pepperjack, yes erase and format | 04:52 |
| maxxist | thechris the system doesnt boot? under any of the kernels your grub menu has? | 04:53 |
| linux_guy | i used mkfs earlier today, i just cant remember the exact command | 04:53 |
| WebcamWonder | Neosporin420: System -> Prefs -> Sessions | 04:53 |
| Neosporin420 | thanks web | 04:53 |
| thechris | maxxist: it boots under the 2.6.27 option, but not the "default" | 04:53 |
| aaroninfidel_ | when going to System>Preferences>Sessions where is the startup list that it is using located? | 04:53 |
| thechris | and no one in this IRC channel seems to know what the default version is | 04:53 |
| pepperjack | linux_guy: sudo fdisk -l to find the partition then mkdosfs /dev/sdc1 or whatever partition. or you could just mount it cd into the dir and do a rm -fr * but id be careful with that command | 04:53 |
| WebcamWonder | !repeat | aaroninfidel_ | 04:54 |
| ubottu | aaroninfidel_: 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 | 04:54 |
| maxxist | thechris weird. have you updated recently? | 04:54 |
| thechris | maxxist: this was the first boot | 04:54 |
| Fezzler | Limitt>> Dude? | 04:54 |
| thechris | also, synaptic wasn't able to download irssi... | 04:54 |
| linux_guy | pepperjack, ok it is /dev/sdb1 | 04:54 |
| Samma3l | is there anyone out there who can help with ndiswrapper? | 04:54 |
| linux_guy | pepperjack, that will make a dos partition? | 04:55 |
| Neosporin420 | thanks all, goodnight | 04:55 |
| aaroninfidel_ | WebcamWonder, I said the question in 3 different IRC networks, what does that matter? | 04:55 |
| maxxist | thechris do an update and see if it fixes it. | 04:55 |
| WebcamWonder | aaroninfidel_: I was talking about this specific channel | 04:55 |
| KujiUn | Every time I boot up Ubuntu normally, half of the screen is blank and the other half is stretched out. Any fixes? | 04:55 |
| Fezzler | I have a cloak, but is it possible for some else to join with my N=? | 04:56 |
| lstarnes | Fezzler: the n=/i= part doesn't really matter | 04:56 |
| pepperjack | linux_guy: yeah you can do a mkfs. and hit tab a few times in termial to show all the mkfs. format options vfat just is a symlink to mkdosfs | 04:57 |
| linux_guy | pepperjack, so i should run sudo mkfs /dev/sdb1 | 04:58 |
| linux_guy | ? | 04:58 |
| pepperjack | linux_guy: mkfs.ext3 or mkfs.vfat or mkfs. whatever | 04:58 |
| pepperjack | linux_guy: youll need to use sudo also | 04:58 |
| squish | hi, can anyone tell me how to install source packages from apt-get? | 04:58 |

| galwayrich | thechris: what's the error you get? | 04:59 |
| sockets | is it just me or do all the media players for linux use a ridiculous amount of memory? rhythmbox, exaile and listen all use 20mb-30mb or more playing 1 song.. | 04:59 |

| WebcamWonder | squish: apt-get source packagename | 05:00 |
| SeaPhor | sockets, have you tried vlc? | 05:00 |
| thechris | galwayrich: 0%, and it just stays there | 05:00 |
| linux_guy | pepperjack, that worked thanks | 05:00 |
| thechris | galwayrich: apt otherwise works. as does irc | 05:00 |
| sockets | SeaPhor, gonna give it a go.. always figured it was better used as a video player | 05:00 |
| Shwaiil | hi ppl | 05:00 |
| squish | WebcamWonder, thank you! | 05:01 |
| galwayrich | Hmmmm. check your mirror in software sources? oh apt works. | 05:01 |
| Shwaiil | Q: Anyone here ever experienced booting up a computer trought network ? PXE, TFTP, etc ? Tks | 05:01 |
| _brad_ | sockets: vlc works great on mostly everything. Although I use Amarok even tho it uses about 24Mb ;) | 05:01 |
| SeaPhor | sockets, it is i agree, but is slightly lighter than the others | 05:01 |
| SeaPhor | Shwaiil, yes | 05:02 |
| jkellen | Hello all! | 05:02 |
| KujiUn | When I boot up Ubuntu normally, from the login screen on, half of my screen is blank and half is stretched out. Is there any way to fix this? | 05:02 |
| jkellen | I need some help! | 05:02 |
| galwayrich | thechris: when did this drop? | 05:02 |
| jkellen | I need to know how to get back to my regular Windows program after I have installed Ubuntu. | 05:02 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: We are here to help, if we can that is | 05:02 |
| deddert | how do you get mirc to work | 05:02 |
| deddert | or wcursion | 05:02 |
| Shwaiil | SeaPhor, hi! | 05:02 |
| deddert | excursion | 05:02 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Did you install Ubuntu after windows, or the other way round? | 05:02 |
| jkellen | After rebooting, how do I get back to regular Windows? | 05:03 |
| polygon89 | deddert, mirc does not run on linux unless you use wine. there are other irc clients such as xchat that you can use though. | 05:03 |
| jkellen | after windows | 05:03 |
| jkellen | I just installed Ubuntu today | 05:03 |
| _brad_ | KujiUn: can you access menus at all? | 05:03 |
| SeaPhor | jkellen, depends on how you installes | 05:03 |
| ng0n | !#!$# :) | 05:03 |
| Shwaiil | SeaPhor, I work on 3d, I'm a blender user, and I want to start a render farm. I'm trying to learn about PXE, TFTP and i'm kind a confused. Do you have time for a few questions on pvt or here on the room, or something ? | 05:03 |
| jkellen | I did it with a partition. | 05:03 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: During your PC boot, you should get a screen like Press a key in 10 seconds to show a menu, do it, from there you should be able to access the NTLDR | 05:03 |
| jkellen | ok | 05:04 |
| Level_5 | hey WebcamWonder , can you help me out configuring my wireless card | 05:04 |
| deddert | also i downloaded a limewire but now i cant find it because it had to install 7 packages but i closed it now i dont know where it is | 05:04 |
| KujiUn | _brad_: I can't see a thing, but it doesn't accept input; I was able to log in. | 05:04 |
| KujiUn | does* | 05:04 |
| jkellen | then what? | 05:04 |
| WebcamWonder | Level_5: Depends, I haven't done much. What card do you have | 05:04 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Select Windows, and you should be good to go | 05:04 |
| jkellen | I really don't know... | 05:04 |
| Level_5 | broadcom....its on an HP dv9819wm laptop | 05:04 |
| newb | Hello | 05:04 |
| jkellen | oh, wrong person | 05:05 |
| WebcamWonder | Level_5: Did you read the docs for broadcom? on ubuntu wiki | 05:05 |
| Level_5 | i'll check it out now | 05:05 |
| jkellen | I really don't get that option to choose, though, when I restart. | 05:05 |
| deddert | where does the downloads go | 05:05 |
| WebcamWonder | !broadcom | Level_5 | 05:05 |
| ubottu | Level_5: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 05:05 |
| jkellen | That's the problem. | 05:05 |
| polygon89 | did you download it from firefox? | 05:05 |
| deddert | yep | 05:05 |
| polygon89 | most likely your home folder | 05:05 |
| polygon89 | if your unsure open firefox, go to tools > downloads | 05:05 |
| polygon89 | right click on the file > show inf older | 05:06 |
| _brad_ | KujiUn: if you can instead login via shell, go to /home/<user>/.config in there is a monitors.xml maybe you can fiddle with the settings (possibly a wrong refresh rate in there) | 05:06 |
| polygon89 | in folder | 05:06 |
| jkellen | So what now? | 05:06 |
| === newb is now known as new2ubuntu | ||
| SeaPhor | Shwaiil, check invite | 05:06 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Perhaps the chainloader option wasn't added to your grub boot | 05:06 |
| jkellen | Which means? | 05:06 |
| tleuser | สวัสดีครับ | 05:06 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Although, that shouldn't happen. You installed ubuntu on a new partition right? | 05:06 |
| jkellen | right | 05:06 |
| new2ubuntu | What do you guys prefer? | 05:07 |

| jkellen | again I'm very new at this | 05:07 |
| aaroninfidel_ | anyone here use a macbook pro? | 05:07 |
| === mostlyharmless is now known as Lucifer_Cat | ||
| gobotsoup | hey guys i was wondering if anyone has installed Ubuntu and gotten a brown artistic looking screen and install just hung on that screen | 05:07 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Places -> See if your Windows Partition is listed | 05:07 |
| aaroninfidel | anyone here use a macbook pro? | 05:07 |
| new2ubuntu | Brb | 05:07 |
| deddert | i sstill cant find the downloads it wasnt in my home folder | 05:08 |
| _brad_ | KujiUn: hmm. got me on that one ;) | 05:08 |
| jkellen | So, how in the world do I switch back, then? | 05:08 |
| jkellen | I thought it would be a fairly simple process to go between the two... | 05:09 |
| polygon89 | go to tools > downloads | 05:09 |
| thechris | ok, so my network connection also randomly drops | 05:09 |
| polygon89 | right click on the file in the list | 05:09 |
| polygon89 | show in folder | 05:09 |
| polygon89 | and it will open the folder its in | 05:09 |
| thechris | so, apt can't download anything now either | 05:09 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: It is. I just wanted to confirm whether you can actually see your windows partition | 05:09 |
| thechris | is us.ubuntu.com just down? | 05:09 |
| gobotsoup | hey guys i was wondering if anyone has installed Ubuntu and gotten a brown artistic looking screen and install just hung on that screen | 05:09 |
| jkellen | Again, I don't even know where to go to see that. | 05:10 |
| dyn0 | Sorry to interrupt, I'm fairly new to ubuntu and was wondering if there's a command to end tasc a program or something not responding? | 05:10 |
| jkellen | Should it be fairly obvious if I can? | 05:10 |
| thechris | oh, there it goes, just had to wait about 2 full minutes for it to start the download. | 05:10 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: On the top panel, there should be a menu named Places. Drop it down and it sould be listed there | 05:10 |
| _brad_ | gobotsoup: try this solution http://benaiah41.wordpress.com/2008/11/01/ubuntu-810-freezes-after-login-screen/ -- it worked for me, just don't attempt to add desktop effects afterwards | 05:10 |
| thechris | so, one grub kernel option brings up a kubuntu splash screen and then hangs | 05:10 |
| polygon89 | dyn0, im pretty sure this is installed by default but open a terminal and type in 'xkill' and then click on the program that is not responding | 05:10 |
| dyn0 | Thank you polygon89 | 05:11 |
| thechris | the other a ubuntu splash and seems to work, except for random bugs | 05:11 |
| jkellen | No, it's not listed there. | 05:11 |
| gobotsoup | _brad_: thanks, do you know what they mean by "Grub" boot menu? | 05:12 |
| KujiUn | _brad_: ...more lack of info. I believe it started when I fiddled around with the prop. driver for the video card. I managed to deactivate it, but the problem still exists. | 05:12 |
| _brad_ | gobotsoup: yeah that's if you have a dual boot system (I think) anyway it's where you choose the OS to run | 05:12 |
| _brad_ | ...just after booting | 05:13 |
| orest | hi i have a question, wich program can be used to record sounds from the soundcard? | 05:13 |
| thechris | some help -- what is the default kernel for 8.10, and what is the file called? | 05:13 |
| KujiUn | I'll check my logs in case I may have forgotten something. | 05:13 |
| epictetus | orest: sox, krec come to mind | 05:13 |
| iverson0881 | does ubuntu have good openLDAP support? | 05:13 |
| gobotsoup | _brad_: sweet, thanks i am not dual booting, this is from a machine with a blank harddrive' | 05:13 |
| _brad_ | KujiUn: wish I knew more, I've only been using linux/Ubuntu for about a week ;) | 05:13 |
| orest | ok i'll try them, thanks epictetus | 05:14 |
| jkellen | Okay, Webcamwonder, where do we go from here? | 05:14 |
| linux_guy | i installed unetbootin today. i forgot how to start the prog! lol | 05:14 |
| pepperjack | thechris: linux-image-generic or somesuch i think | 05:14 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Could you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l ? | 05:14 |
| _brad_ | gobotsoup: OK then you should still have an similar option listed (recovery mode) | 05:14 |
| Samma3l | hi there, is anyone able to help with ndiswrapper and wireless usb devices? | 05:14 |
| thechris | oh, the install just horribly screwed up menu.lst... | 05:14 |
| jkellen | I'm sorry, I really don't know what that means... | 05:14 |
| KujiUn | _brad_: I see. Thank you for your help. | 05:15 |
| The_Rebel | how do i blacklist in intrepid ? | 05:15 |
| linux_guy | how do you start unetbootin? | 05:15 |
| thechris | hmm, that probably means the random bugs are here to stay... | 05:16 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Goto Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. Over there type (copy) this: sudo aptitude install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit | 05:16 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: And give the link it produces on this channel | 05:16 |
| gobotsoup | _brad_: the problem is though that i don't even make it to a log in screen, it just hangs on a brown screen when i install | 05:16 |
| jkellen | did that | 05:17 |
| phixxor | I need help looking for a way to make a computer turn itself on every morning at a certain time -- can cron do that? | 05:17 |
| Samma3l | gobotsoup: how new is the system? | 05:17 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Did it give a link? | 05:17 |
| Scunizi | phix: cron can't run if the computer is off.. some bios's have that option | 05:17 |
| thechris | phixxor: look into magic packets. | 05:17 |
| phixxor | Scunizi: ok, so it depends on my bios? | 05:18 |
| gobotsoup | :Samma31 the system is really old like 256 MB Ram and 500Mhz processor | 05:18 |
| jkellen | jkellen@jkellen-desktop:~ | 05:18 |
| thechris | oh, turn itself on. | 05:18 |
| phixxor | thechris: ok | 05:18 |
| phixxor | yeah | 05:18 |
| sockets | thanks VLC tip guys (low memory usage) but now i'm experiencing some skipping issues (every 4-5 seconds during playback the audio would jump) i looked up on ubuntuforums and it advised me to remove pulseaudio.. after i got this done i was thinking about getting audio output from 2 applications at once (for example: flash video and audio player, cause that doesn't work right now.. can only play 1 and the other process needs to be killed) it | 05:18 |
| Scunizi | phixxor: yep | 05:18 |
| jkellen | Actually I entered in a command | 05:18 |
| jkellen | which made it do something | 05:18 |
| jkellen | like it was uninstalling or something | 05:18 |
| jkellen | and that's what it came up with | 05:18 |
| linux_guy | how do you run unetbootin | 05:19 |
| Samma3l | gobotsoup: have you left the system for a while while it installs? I have a 800mhz 128mb system that looked like it had hung, but wasnt | 05:19 |
| Lucifer_Cat | Q: If i want to remote into my linux desktop from the windows machine, which one is the server and which one is the viewer? | 05:19 |
| thechris | sockets: this is a software mixer issue. look into something like dmix and how to re-enable it | 05:19 |
| edward | #gnome | 05:19 |
| jkellen | Is it possible to uninstall Ubuntu from here? | 05:19 |
| sockets | thanks thechris | 05:19 |
| jkellen | And get straight back to Windows? | 05:19 |
| gobotsoup | :Samma31 I think I left it for maybe 20 minutes, it was a brown screen with a small arrow curser | 05:20 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: And it gave you no http://pastebin/ link? Weird. Ok do this then: sudo fdisk -l, and then manually copy and paste it the output from there to www.pastebin.com | 05:20 |
| * linux_guy inserts dynamite into his usb port | 05:20 | |
| Ursinha-afk | tiny dynamite | 05:20 |
| deddert | when i get a file that is zipped and i extract it how do i run it | 05:20 |
| Lucifer_Cat | gobotsoup: i installed xubuntu just a few hours ago on an identical machine as yours... the screen did look like it was hung for a while before it took off. | 05:21 |
| Lucifer_Cat | but didnt take 20 mins afaik | 05:21 |
| Samma3l | gobotsoup: how are you installing? GUI, Alternate, network? | 05:21 |
| clearzen | !ext4 | 05:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 | 05:21 |
| gobotsoup | :Samma31 I am installing from a cd | 05:21 |
| jkellen | okay, I did that... | 05:21 |
| Lucifer_Cat | anyone know about remoting from windows into linux? | 05:22 |
| Samma3l | gobotsoup: are you trying to load the livecd? | 05:22 |
| jkellen | now what? | 05:22 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Could you give me the link to the pastebin? | 05:22 |
| linux_guy | WebcamWonder, you around? | 05:22 |
| linux_guy | there he is | 05:22 |
| WebcamWonder | linux_guy: ? | 05:22 |
| gobotsoup | Samma31: I am booting from the cd yeah | 05:22 |
| thechris | Lucifer_Cat: IIRC, there are several options. i think cygwin has an x11 forwarding option | 05:22 |
| lyk3n | Lucifer_Cat: you can ssh, telnet, or vnc . the last one with tightvnc running on window and linux | 05:22 |
| linux_guy | WebcamWonder, ever used unetbootin" | 05:22 |
| linux_guy | ? | 05:22 |
| jkellen | http://pastebin.com/m6b4e674a | 05:22 |
| Myles | hi | 05:22 |
| gwash | Lucifer_Cat: tightvnc | 05:23 |
| WebcamWonder | linux_guy: Nope./ Any specific issue? | 05:23 |
| thechris | Lucifer_Cat: VNC is an option, ssh/putty is an option | 05:23 |
| durt | !vnc | Lucifer_Cat | 05:23 |
| ubottu | Lucifer_Cat: 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 | 05:23 |
| gwash | i suggest getting rid of windows though | 05:23 |
| linux_guy | i swear i installed it today, i cant find it anywhere | 05:23 |
| deddert | is there a way to get limewire or kazaa to work with ubuntu | 05:23 |
| Lucifer_Cat | lyk3n: yes, i am looking at the vnc option... but im a little confused... which one would be the server? | 05:23 |
| WebcamWonder | linux_guy: Grub didn't get installed properly? | 05:23 |
| Lucifer_Cat | gwash: lol i wish. its necessary evil. my work is all windows based | 05:23 |
| gwash | deddert: there is already a linux version of limewire | 05:24 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Wow, this is weird | 05:24 |
| lyk3n | Lucifer_cat: give me a sec | 05:24 |
| jkellen | indeed | 05:24 |
| deddert | what is it | 05:24 |
| Samma3l | gobotsoup: when you boot, there should be an option there to check the disk for errors. If that appears fine, then it could just be taking a long time to load. My system took ages to load the livecd | 05:24 |
| madraykin | I have a feeeling my harddrive is running incredibly slowly on linux. Could anyone possibly help me out to test and if it is fix it? | 05:24 |
| Myles | unsure | 05:24 |
| pepperjack | deddert: limewire will once you install java or you can use frostwire just a free clone | 05:24 |
| gwash | limewire | 05:24 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: There is no Windows partition! | 05:24 |
| linux_guy | WebcamWonder, unetbootin is what i used to make my usb drive bootable | 05:24 |
| gobotsoup | Lucifer_Cat: How long did the brown screen stay on? | 05:24 |
| jkellen | Is that bad news for me? | 05:24 |
| Lucifer_Cat | from what i am reading, it looks like the target machine will be the server. | 05:24 |
| thechris | Lucifer_Cat: yes | 05:24 |
| jkellen | Did I install it wrong when I did it? | 05:24 |
| joanesh | Hey | 05:24 |
| WebcamWonder | linux_guy: Oops. Sorry, don't really know.. Havne't work with it | 05:24 |
| deddert | how do i install java it froze up | 05:24 |
| jkellen | Ubuntu, that is... | 05:24 |
| joanesh | Does ubuntu server also come with a GUI ? | 05:24 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Hold on. Let me confirm with a few more people | 05:24 |
| Lucifer_Cat | gobotsoup: i installed xubuntu, which is apparently lighter and has blue screens :P | 05:25 |
| jkellen | ok | 05:25 |
| _VIM_ | joanesh: no | 05:25 |
| adrenaline | HEy what is the program called where you hover over your mp3 on your desktop nad it plays? | 05:25 |
| lyk3n | Lucifer_cat: go to the synaptic package manager and type out tight vnc | 05:25 |
| WebcamWonder | Guys, could someone take a look at this pastebin, http://pastebin.com/m6b4e674a and tell me that I am not blind when I say there is supposed to be a Windows partition? | 05:25 |
| thechris | i'm pretty sure it does... | 05:25 |
| Lucifer_Cat | gobotsoup: 10 mins or so atleast. ubuntu might take a lot longer considering you have 256 ram | 05:25 |
| durt | joanesh: no, install one | 05:25 |
| deddert | where do i get frostwire | 05:25 |
| gwash | joanesh: you CAN install a gui | 05:25 |
| joanesh | _VIM_: I am planning to use it as my desktop os a it has support for 5 years | 05:25 |
| jkellen | By the way, | 05:25 |
| pepperjack | deddert: in synaptic its a part of ubuntu you may just need to enable all the repos | 05:25 |
| gobotsoup | Lucifer_Cat: Yeah I may try that one, i think my comp may be too slow or something | 05:26 |
| joanesh | gwash: I will do that :-).. Downloading 8.04.2 | 05:26 |
| thechris | joanesh: i'd take the more current HW support personally. | 05:26 |
| jkellen | the whole reason I had installed Ubuntu was to use the Cheese program | 05:26 |
| jkellen | and when I went to it my webcam wouldn't work | 05:26 |
| pepperjack | jkellen: indeed | 05:26 |
| Sylphid | WebcamWonder, no more windows there | 05:26 |
| jkellen | when it did so perfectly well in windows | 05:26 |
| joanesh | thechris: My laptop is over a year old and 7.10 detects all my hw | 05:26 |
| joanesh | so not a problem | 05:26 |
| jkellen | any reason why? | 05:26 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Sylphid: There you go. Sorry jkellen, it seems as if you overwrote your windows parition | 05:26 |
| jkellen | I hope I didn't wipe out my windows! | 05:27 |
| gwash | i hope you did | 05:27 |
| Lucifer_Cat | and do i have to set port forwarding if both the machines are on the same router? | 05:27 |
| adrenaline | jkellen, a good way to get good at linux | 05:27 |
| _VIM_ | jkellen: you say that as if that's a bad thing | 05:27 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: Unfortunately, you did | 05:27 |
| jkellen | do I have to do a complete reinstall then? | 05:27 |
| Sylphid | gwash, wow thats horribly delicious | 05:27 |
| durt | joanesh: my lappy's ten years old 8.04 (U-lite) works fine | 05:27 |
| WebcamWonder | jkellen: If you want Windows back. Yup | 05:27 |
| _VIM_ | you can always use windows in a virtual machine :) | 05:27 |
| deddert | the repos? | 05:27 |
| jkellen | oh great! | 05:27 |
| thechris | jkellen: its possible the data is still there and you just have to reset teh partition table | 05:27 |
| thechris | but that's usually not an option | 05:28 |
| jkellen | how would i do that? | 05:28 |
| WebcamWonder | thechris: NTFS -> Ext3 should overwrite the entire partition b/c of the superblocks | 05:28 |
| SeaPhor | jkellen, have you done df -h? | 05:28 |
| _VIM_ | !who | 05:28 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 05:28 |
| jkellen | don't know what that is? | 05:28 |
| The_Rebel | come on guys i need help | 05:28 |
| Lucifer_Cat | gobotsoup: yeah. thats why i chose xubuntu. i was reading the ubuntu wikis and they suggested xubuntu for low end systems. | 05:28 |
| redvamp128 | jkellen: and the easycam2 didn't work? | 05:28 |
| deddert | how do i close the update manager if it wont close | 05:28 |
| Sylphid | thechris, jkellen no this would not be possible as windows uses SDA1 which was reformatted with ext3 for / | 05:28 |
| WebcamWonder | SeaPhor: His fdisk -l has no windows partition | 05:28 |
| The_Rebel | how do i blacklist modules in intrepid? | 05:28 |
| bdelin88 | how would i go about chmod'ing a directory to be given access by all | 05:29 |
| WebcamWonder | !blacklist | 05:29 |
| ubottu | 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 » | 05:29 |
| SeaPhor | jkellen, open a terminal and type df -h | 05:29 |
| thechris | ah, and reformatted... ok missed that | 05:29 |
| Brando753 | hey how do you build a theme package? | 05:29 |
| pepperjack | bdelin88: use -R for recursive if you want to change any sub dirs as well | 05:29 |
| jkellen | ok did that | 05:29 |
| SeaPhor | jkellen, you see the output | 05:29 |
| gwash | bdelin88: sudo chmod a+a directory | 05:29 |
| jkellen | yes | 05:29 |
| Brando753 | hey how do you build a theme package? | 05:29 |
| bdelin88 | gwash: i don't need the "-R"? | 05:30 |
| WebcamWonder | !repeat | Brando753 | 05:30 |
| ubottu | Brando753: 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 | 05:30 |
| _VIM_ | deddert: type sudo xkill in a terminal and click on the frozen app | 05:30 |
| SeaPhor | jkellen, can you copy and paste that to pastebin? | 05:30 |
| gwash | bdelin88: not unless you want it recrusive | 05:30 |
| jkellen | sure | 05:30 |
| bdelin88 | gwash: k thanks | 05:30 |
| deddert | where are the terminals | 05:30 |
| gobotsoup | Lucifer_Cat: Thanks i think i'll give that a try next | 05:30 |
| _VIM_ | deddert: press ALT+F2 then type gnome-terminal | 05:30 |
| bdelin88 | gwash hmm, it says 'a+a' is an invalid mode | 05:30 |
| WebcamWonder | _VIM_: PS: That should work from ALT+F2 as well | 05:30 |
| bdelin88 | oops | 05:30 |
| Brando753 | you could have helped then type all that :9 | 05:30 |
| bdelin88 | gwash: hmm, it says 'a+a' is an invalid mode | 05:31 |
| _VIM_ | WebcamWonder: yes of course | 05:31 |
| jkellen | http://pastebin.com/d17e9b36f | 05:31 |
| _VIM_ | I do things the hard way :) | 05:31 |
| jkellen | http://pastebin.com/d17e9b36f | 05:31 |
| WebcamWonder | _VIM_: You wouldn't need to know that anyways. You are a vim user! :P | 05:31 |
| jkellen | oops! | 05:31 |
| gwash | bdelin88: weird, try guo+rwxX then | 05:31 |
| Brando753 | hey how do you build a theme package? from .ico 's u have? | 05:31 |
| jkellen | forgot to scroll down | 05:31 |
| bdelin88 | gwash: why not just use 777, isn't that the same thing? | 05:31 |
| gwash | bdelin88: yah | 05:32 |
| bdelin88 | tryin to figure out why it wont work then hmm | 05:32 |
| FFForever | i have an ext4 partition and i need to install 8.04 how can i do that? | 05:32 |
| linux_guy | is there a log of this chat for each day? | 05:32 |

| Brando753 | hey how do you build a theme package? from .ico 's u have? | 05:33 |
| thechris | FFForever: i'm guessing you'd want to do an install to something else, then copy | 05:33 |
| WebcamWonder | linux_guy: yes this cahnnel is officially logged | 05:33 |
| fosco_ | FFForever: 8.04 does not support EXT4 | 05:33 |
| gwash | Brando753: convert them to png first | 05:33 |
| WebcamWonder | linux_guy: Give me a minute to find the url | 05:33 |
| Brando753 | not .ico? | 05:33 |
| linux_guy | WebcamWonder, where can i see jan 31? | 05:33 |

| jkellen | seaphor, did you see my paste | 05:33 |
| gwash | FFForever: install latest kernel | 05:34 |
| jkellen | of my wastebin | 05:34 |
| SeaPhor | jkellen, during the install, did you choose "Guided, use entire disk" ? | 05:34 |
| fosco_ | FFForever: manually recompile the newest kernel sources | 05:34 |
| gwash | 2.6.28 | 05:34 |
| jkellen | can't really remember | 05:34 |
| jkellen | but i don't think so | 05:34 |
| thechris | FFForever: you'd probably want the ext tools as well (not sure on pkg name) | 05:34 |
| fosco_ | FFForever: but /boot can not be ext4 'cause 8.04's grub does not support EXT | 05:34 |
| gary_ | ok | 05:34 |
| FFForever | =( | 05:34 |
| FFForever | ill use jaunty then =D | 05:34 |
| SeaPhor | jkellen, thats the only explanation for what i see there | 05:34 |
| fosco_ | yes | 05:34 |
| gary_ | how can i know what is running under my pc | 05:34 |
| FFForever | (jaunty has ext4 right) | 05:34 |

| thechris | FFForever: you'd need an ext2 boot partition. | 05:35 |
| Mood | gobotsoup: yes, BIOS should show harddrive connected directly (not netework drive though) | 05:35 |
| deddert | ps ax? | 05:35 |

| Mood | Lucifer_Cat: what vnc server/client you using? | 05:36 |
| thechris | Lucifer_Cat: i suggest looking into ssh as well, its remote CLI, and works very well with low bandwidth | 05:36 |
| deddert | package installer wont close is there a command like ctrl alt del for win? | 05:36 |
| Guest26212 | damn | 05:37 |
| thechris | deddert: xkill | 05:37 |

| SeaPhor | jkellen, as far as i know its all gone, there are some data recovery tools out there that i have got to work in the past but ... thats what it would take, data recovery | 05:37 |
| Guest26212 | that's exactly what im taking about | 05:37 |
| Mood | Lucifer_Cat: via ssh? | 05:37 |
| Guest26212 | there is a program | 05:37 |
| jkellen | ok, thanks for your help | 05:37 |
| Lucifer_Cat | thechris: thats what i always use. but i am just fooling around with this. | 05:37 |
| Guest26212 | but i forgot its name | 05:37 |
| WebcamWonder | deddert: ALT+F2 -> type: xkill -> Click on The package manager | 05:37 |
| Lucifer_Cat | Mood: i dont think so. unless it is implement to use ssh under it | 05:37 |
| Dr_willis | be carefull where you click - after using 'xkill' ;) | 05:37 |
| fosco_ | Guest26212 clicked on xchat window :) | 05:38 |
| _brad_ | lol | 05:38 |
| thechris | yeah, the taskbar or clock can be killed... | 05:38 |
| deddert | webcamwonder: it wants a password | 05:38 |
| WebcamWonder | deddert: xkill wants a password? Since when did that happen? :s | 05:38 |
| warzt666 | xkill just turn off what i click on it | 05:39 |
| warzt666 | i can't know what is runing | 05:39 |

| Samma3l | oops | 05:39 |
| GreedyB | I have two ethernet ports but when I use VPN it disables my internet because of a security policy.. am I able to use my other port for internet? | 05:39 |

| WebcamWonder | Samma3l: /join #channelname | 05:39 |
| === Wolverine is now known as Guest12223 | ||
| fosco_ | deddert: just xkill, not sudo xkill | 05:39 |
| warzt666 | so type : sudo xkill | 05:39 |
| Mood | deddert: you can always find the pid and kill it | 05:39 |
| Samma3l | thanks | 05:40 |
| fosco_ | warzt666 another one clickin on the xchat window :) | 05:40 |
| Brando753 | hey how do you build a theme package? from .ico 's u have? | 05:40 |
| Brando753 | hey how do you build a theme package? with .png srry | 05:40 |
| thechris | Brando753: you might have better luck in a desktop specific channel | 05:41 |
| fosco_ | Brando753: the best way is downloadeng an icon theme and looking inside it, www.gnome-look.org | 05:41 |
| gobotsoup | Does it matter if when you install an internal harddrive if you dont screw the drive into the cage? | 05:41 |
| zxk | iuiui | 05:41 |
| Brando753 | u cant just build one? | 05:41 |
| Dr_willis | gobotsoup, it can vibrate and stuff.. best to screw it down.. (i have taped mine down befor) | 05:42 |
| Dr_willis | gobotsoup, also if you ever move the case.... it can go flying. | 05:42 |
| thechris | gobotsoup: well, you should secure it, but it'll work without it. | 05:42 |
| Samma3l | gobotsoup: not really, but things can get loose and disconnect | 05:42 |
| deddert | allright thanks that worked but my program wont run still it says only one software management tool is allowed to run at same time | 05:42 |
| WebcamWonder | deddert: What are you trying to do? | 05:42 |
| deddert | install frostwire | 05:42 |
| Sylphid | gobotsoup, you may also short your drive out if it touches the cage | 05:42 |
| WebcamWonder | !info frostwire | 05:43 |
| ubottu | Package frostwire does not exist in intrepid | 05:43 |
| Dr_willis | !frostwire | 05:43 |
| ubottu | frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire | 05:43 |
| thechris | deddert: there is a lockfile somewhere that probably needs to be deleted. | 05:43 |
| Dr_willis | !fixadept | 05:43 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 05:43 |
| gobotsoup | Thanks, I am trying to figure out if the reason i am having the install problems is because of a fauly HDD | 05:43 |
| deddert | it says close the other applocation eg update manager aptitude or synaptic first | 05:43 |
| deddert | how do i find the lockfile | 05:44 |
| WebcamWonder | deddert: Please see the message ubottu gave (thanks to Dr_willis) | 05:44 |
| Sylphid | gobotsoup, run badblocks from a live cd against your drive | 05:44 |
| WebcamWonder | !fixadept > deddert | 05:44 |
| ubottu | deddert, please see my private message | 05:44 |
| Dr_willis | :) answered befor he even asked. :) | 05:44 |
| plcTowlie | gobotsoup: it's a good idea to secure it, but if you are very careful not to move it you could run the drive without securing it down if its only temporary | 05:44 |
| WebcamWonder | Dr_willis: You stay here long enough, you can answer before people even enter the channel! | 05:44 |
| Dr_willis | WebcamWonder, and some days you need ESP to even realize the actual question | 05:44 |
| WebcamWonder | Dr_willis: Haha. So true | 05:45 |

| gobotsoup | Sylohid: Whats badblocks? | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | badblocks - search a device for bad blocks | 05:45 |
| Samma3l | is anyone able to help with device recognition? | 05:45 |
| WebcamWonder | lampliter: Did you try restarting firefox? | 05:45 |
| lampliter | multiple times. | 05:45 |
| KemrinH | Hey, in my volume control, the toggle to set something as the input to toggle audio recording from capture won't untoggle to make it the source for audio recordings. Can someone please help? | 05:45 |
| thechris | Samma3l: dmesg, lspci, lsusb, lsmod are? | 05:45 |
| lampliter | Even after reboot | 05:45 |
| Sylphid | badblocks is an app that looks at your drive for sectors that have had problems.... ubuntu doesnt like to install on a drive that has had more than 3 | 05:46 |
| deddert | i tried ubottu but it wants a password | 05:46 |
| gobotsoup | Sylphid: I think when I was installing it may not have been "Live CD" | 05:46 |
| SeaPhor | Samma3l, what type of device? | 05:47 |
| gobotsoup | Sylphid: even though I used a CD | 05:47 |
| fosco_ | deddert: the message is so clear: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 05:47 |
| WebcamWonder | lampliter: Did you happen to disable your browsing cache? | 05:47 |
| lampliter | let me check | 05:47 |
| Sylphid | gobotsoup, im not aware of any ubuntu cd's that are not live | 05:47 |
| monkey | p00p0ster0us | 05:47 |
| redvamp128 | KemrinH: System prefernces sound-- then I think you can set it there. | 05:48 |
| Samma3l | SeaPhor: a wireless usb dongle. lsusb lists the device, ndiswrapper says its present, but its not listed with iw/ifconfig | 05:48 |
| gobotsoup | Sylphid: nevermind it was from "LIVE CD" | 05:48 |

| fosco_ | deddert: it is your password | 05:48 |
| thechris | Samma3l: does anything list it as disabled, eg /var/log/messages or dmesg | 05:48 |
| SeaPhor | Samma3l, have you tried lshw -C network ? | 05:49 |
| deddert | what is when i try to put in my password it wont allow any typing | 05:49 |
| bonez46 | anyone have a good general xorg.conf sample, or could point me to one .. and url.. that I could customize mine with? I am running 8.10 desktop | 05:49 |
| gobotsoup | Sylphid: I just dont remember seeing anything about badblocks | 05:49 |
| WebcamWonder | deddert: Passwords on terminals are not echoed. THat means you cannot actually see if they are typed in or not | 05:49 |
| deddert | just a thick blinking black spot | 05:49 |
| fosco_ | deddert: type it and press enter, do not look at the screen | 05:49 |
| bthornton | Any Evolution gurus in here? I'm trying to get all of my Evolution contacts into Outlook 2007, but not sure what's the best way to go about it... | 05:49 |
| deddert | so it is putting my password | 05:49 |
| deddert | k | 05:49 |
| Sylphid | gobotsoup, what you will want to do is boot to the cd and in a terminal run 'badblocks /dev/XXX' replacing XXX with your disk drive (mine is sda) | 05:49 |
| rpisharody | quit | 05:49 |
| lampliter | WebcamWonder: no, the cache is turned on. It also looks like a whole bunch of other things are disabled. I wonder if I should just delete the .mozilla directory and let it rebuild | 05:50 |
| deddert | it worked thanks alot | 05:50 |
| Samma3l | SeaPhor: nothing there either. thechris: looking now | 05:50 |
| WebcamWonder | lampliter: You should probably move it (as to a backup), and then let it rebuild | 05:50 |
| plcTowlie | gobotsoup have you used the check CD option to see that you have a good copy of the install CD? | 05:51 |
| gobotsoup | Sylphid: How do I run terminal though, when i am trying to install? | 05:51 |
| lampliter | yeah. Of course, you had no way of knowing that's what I would do anyway. :-) given there are people in the world like my wife who, it will reboot your machine two or three times a day just because it seems to work | 05:51 |
| lampliter | I should also point out that she suffers from flash problems like no one else have ever seen. | 05:51 |
| Sylphid | gobotsoup, boot to the live cd , once you have a desktop loaded go to applications > accessories > terminal | 05:52 |

| aprilhare | people do remember what floppy disks are don't they? :) | 05:53 |
| Samma3l | thechris: it says that my pcmcia wireless is disable? odd | 05:53 |
| lampliter | I'm pretty sure does but I will doublecheck. :-) as for laziness in Google, it's not just laziness, it's that I always ask the wrong question like I did in this case | 05:53 |
| thechris | Samma3l: does google know about this? | 05:54 |
| Samma3l | SeaPhor: it only lists the ethernet and pcmcia wireless card | 05:54 |
| WebcamWonder | lampliter: Nah, you didn't. It is just a valid support question | 05:54 |

| _brad_ | Brando753: I believe the ubuntu setup does the partitioning, at least in my case it did | 06:02 |
| Flannel | Kaz__: at GRUB (you may have to hit escape to view the menu), push 'e', then remove 'quiet' and 'splash' from the line you want to boot to. Then boot that entry. It'll give you a more verbose boot | 06:03 |

| WebcamWonder | deddert: Everyone has their own preference when it comes to an IRC client. Some prefer gui, some prefer text-based | 06:05 |
| Gnimsh | I use konversation for irc | 06:05 |
| deddert | are there ways of getting new cds through xchat | 06:05 |
| Lenore | So by using gparted, I can keep all of my files safe on Windows but still install ubuntu? >_> | 06:05 |
| Dr_willis | deddert, theres 2 version sof xchat, - xchat and xchat-gnome - most people HATE xchat-gnome | 06:06 |
| nickrud | deddert, yes, but it's not supported in #ubuntu | 06:06 |
| WebcamWonder | Lenore: Ubuntu installer includes a partitioning utility. It allows you to keep your exisiting Windows and install Ubuntu on a new parititon | 06:06 |
| Dr_willis | deddert, torents would be the best way to get the iso's not irc. | 06:06 |
| Samma3l | SeaPhor: thanks. I've had a look at that site. I can get the device to work on my desktop (8.10-Desktop), however it is not working on the server (8.10-server) | 06:06 |
| SeaPhor | Dr_willis, yes, in ubuntu it does make a default username group, but in other distros the common is "users" | 06:06 |
| deddert | and how do i get frostwore to work Torrents? | 06:06 |
| deddert | frostwire | 06:06 |
| Gnimsh | you don't. | 06:06 |
| nickrud | deddert, transmission is for torrents; it's already installed | 06:06 |
| Dr_willis | frostwire is NOT a torrent client | 06:06 |
| Gnimsh | you get a program like deluge | 06:06 |
| Gnimsh | or transmission | 06:06 |

| Sylphid | what card is it? | 06:08 |

| Brando753 | not risk windows | 06:08 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | intel 5100 | 06:08 |
| aaroninfidel | will someone help me on adding a to apt-get? | 06:08 |
| Brando753 | i can always reinstall ubuntu | 06:08 |
| Dr_willis | deddert, last time i used frostwire.. i had to be SURE to use the actual sun java.. not the others' and i installed it from the deb downloads and it worked | 06:09 |
| Brando753 | but windows cost money | 06:09 |
| WebcamWonder | Brando753: Well, the risk with LVPM to increase the parition size is the same risk you have with running Ubuntu from Wubi | 06:09 |
| deddert | where is the deb downloads | 06:09 |
| Samma3l | aaroninfidel: what are you trying to add? | 06:09 |
| Gnimsh | Brando753, not if you do it right ;) | 06:09 |
| Brando753 | wubi is running inside windows there is no partition | 06:09 |
| deddert | i got one from frostwire.com | 06:09 |
| Kaz__ | nm I see it | 06:09 |
| aaroninfidel | Samma3l, I've got a macbook pro and the mactel repo is giving errors because it doesn't have a public key | 06:10 |
| Lenore | What is the risk with running from Wubi? | 06:10 |
| WebcamWonder | Brando753: Yes. But ntfs read/write only got fairly stable to the point that wubi can exist. That has a risk as well | 06:10 |

| Brando753 | wubi is a lot safer then a partitioning | 06:10 |
| Lenore | The longer I stay in here, the more I realize that I am nowhere near the computer geek I thought I was. | 06:11 |
| Sylphid | ineedubuntuhelp, try this..... sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid | 06:11 |
| Brando753 | and i can always uninstall wubi if i need windows space | 06:11 |
| Dr_willis | Lenore, you mean to say you are just a 'geek' not a 'computer geek' ? :) | 06:11 |
| === jordan is now known as Guest12358 | ||
| WebcamWonder | Brando753: Depends on your thinking. You could be corrupting your ntfs-based disk by using the ntfs-3g driver. But, this is going offtopic | 06:11 |
| Lenore | Oh, yeah. I'm quite the geek. Just not so much computerly. I can still type at almost 150wpm, though! I will cling to that one accomplishment for dear life! | 06:12 |
| Brando753 | well what if i need the partitioned space for windows what then | 06:12 |
| Brando753 | ? | 06:12 |
| Lenore | I get by on figuring things out as I go. And I must say, I'm damned good at it. ;P | 06:13 |
| WebcamWonder | Brando753: So, that is if you install Uubntu, and you want to then reallocate space? | 06:13 |
| _brad_ | Brando753: all I know is that I used the Ubuntu installer to successfully make a 30Gb partition for Ubuntu (well, it failed once, then tried again, it worked). It didn't affect my Windows side, except when I first ran Windows again, it went through checkdisk to fix itself, but all was good after that. | 06:13 |
| * nickrud clutches his wrists in pain, imagining his poor carpels flexing that fast | 06:13 | |
| Vorondil | Hey everybody, quick question. What package do I need to install to get the man pages for system calls, like fork()? | 06:13 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | sylphid: complete, but network remains unclaimed | 06:13 |
| prince_jammys | Vorondil: man-pages-dev | 06:13 |
| Samma3l | aaroninfidel: do you get a GPG error? | 06:13 |
| WebcamWonder | _brad_: That checkdisk is expected since any paritioning utility runs a checkdisk after resizing partitions b/c of superblocks, etc. No need to be worried b/c of that :) | 06:13 |
| prince_jammys | Vorondil: or manpages-dev .... | 06:14 |
| Daremonai | I have a UPS that is connected through RS-232 + USB converter to my machine, ubuntu finds the PL2303 Serial Port connected to a USB device... how can I know which drivers my UPS is using? | 06:14 |
| Sylphid | ineedubuntuhelp, you may need to reboot for the modules to load | 06:14 |
| WebcamWonder | Vorondil: manpages-dev | 06:14 |
| _brad_ | Webcamwonder: noted :) | 06:14 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | will reboot | 06:14 |
| GMWeezel | I'm installing linux on an old system that is single core. Would linux image 486 be better than 686 since it's single core with no hyper threading? | 06:14 |
| prince_jammys | Vorondil: manpages-dev it is | 06:14 |
| dmsuperman | GMWeezel: They're the same iirc | 06:14 |
| Vorondil | prince_jammys: Yep, looks like it. :) Thanks much! | 06:15 |
| dmsuperman | GMWeezel: But I think they're both 686 if you want to get technical | 06:15 |
| Lenore | I managed to read that as "hyperventilating" and I got a bizarre mental image. | 06:15 |
| G__81 | i ve a small problem when the windows partitions dont get automounted so when i click on banshee and try playing songs in that drive it does not play but when i go and click the drives and when it opens in nautilus it starts playing | 06:15 |
| G__81 | how do i solve this | 06:15 |
| WebcamWonder | !fstab | G__81 | 06:15 |
| aaroninfidel | Samma3l, yes, I did... I figured it out now, but thank you anyway for the help :) | 06:15 |
| ubottu | G__81: 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 | 06:15 |
| GMWeezel | dmsuperman: alright, thanks | 06:15 |
| jordan_ | Do I need to use gparted live to partition my hard drive for a windows os? | 06:15 |

| Fezzler | is it possible to update my Palm OS via Ubuntu? | 06:16 |
| prince_jammys | jordan_: yes. you can't repartition the drive while it's mounted | 06:16 |
| Dr_willis | jordan_, i use gparted live cd's all the time to 'prepartition' hard drives befr i install stuff :) | 06:17 |
| Scunizi | jordan_: k.. yes.. gparted live will allow you to repartition for windows space .. however after installing it, windows will wipe out grub and you won't be able to get to ubuntu without reinstalling grub.. if you're not playing dx9/10 games and just need windows for a few things then I suggest Virtualbox for a VM. you can run windows inside of ubuntu. | 06:17 |
| Mood | which is the leanest x manager? xfce, fluxbox, or openbox? | 06:17 |

| Slash_n_bash | hello all | 06:18 |
| ziroday | Mood: either fluxbox or openbox, however its hard to say. It really depends on the programs you use on top of them. Take a look at LXDE as wel | 06:18 |
| Dr_willis | Mood, 'jwm' is about as ligh as ya can get and have a 'normal' interface | 06:18 |
| jordan_ | HOw do i reinstall grub from windows? | 06:18 |

| Flannel | !grub | jordan_ | 06:19 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | i have windows wireless drivers installed, if that makes a difference | 06:19 |
| Dr_willis | Mood, it also depends on what features you really want in a window manager. :) | 06:19 |

| mroc1 | _brad_: something like that, yeah. | 06:38 |
| Mood | is there a "ifdown eth0" equivalent for wlan0? | 06:38 |
| WebcamWonder | G__81: Do this step again, it can't be harmful, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 06:38 |
| mroc1 | _brad_: more along the lines of resize operation failed i think. | 06:39 |
| Mood | i want to bring down a wireless network connection on commandline, and bring it back up | 06:39 |
| SeaPhor | Guest46783, have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-521635.html | 06:39 |
| WebcamWonder | Mood: It should work with wlan0 as well | 06:39 |
| shamus | SeaPhor: removing and reinstalling vlc did not help | 06:39 |
| Mood | WebcamWonder: it says "ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured" | 06:39 |
| G__81 | yeah now fine | 06:39 |
| WebcamWonder | Mood: ifconfig wlan0 down | 06:39 |
| _brad_ | mroc1: I had a similar situation with the 32bit, I just tried again and it worked. My first attempt at a 15gb partition failed, so I retried at 10 and it worked. But I don't think it depends on the size, as I later freed up space on the drive and made a 35Gb partition instead. | 06:40 |
| Mood | WebcamWonder: and then ifconfig wlan0 up? | 06:40 |
| SeaPhor | shamus, what file extension are you trying to play? | 06:40 |
| WebcamWonder | Mood: To bring it back up, yes | 06:40 |
| G__81 | WebcamWonder, i am new to Ubuntu have been a fedora user its really good i am enjoying it . I ve been contributing to Fedora so i guess its time for me to look contributing to Ubuntu | 06:40 |
| Mood | WebcamWonder: excellent. thanks | 06:40 |
| WebcamWonder | G__81: :)... Now, to get acrobat reader, sudo aptitude install acroread | 06:40 |
| shamus | SeaPhor: .avi, .mov anything i try to play | 06:40 |
| WebcamWonder | Mood: Glad to help | 06:40 |
| WebcamWonder | shamus: What is the problem? | 06:41 |
| mroc1 | _brad_: it's failed a couple times, but i wouldn't want it to start and fail during...so i think i'll keep looking for info. thanks for the reply though. | 06:41 |
| cbill | can someone assist, trying to install new version of OpenMovieEditor | 06:41 |
| _brad_ | mroc1: no worries, I did have it fail during the partition process, but windows was still OK. Maybe I got lucky ;) | 06:41 |
| shamus | WebcamWonder: vlc opens in 2 windows (one called X11) and the other with just the controls, as 2 separate processes | 06:42 |
| WebcamWonder | shamus: Separate processes? or just separate windows? | 06:42 |
| shamus | WebcamWonder: 2 separate processes | 06:42 |

| ineedubuntuhelp | sylphid: how can i tell which modules are blacklisted? also, i see that i tried to extract to /usr/lib/firmware, but it is empty | 06:43 |
| WebcamWonder | shamus: It is a known feature/bug. More info here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-941998.html | 06:44 |
| Daremonai | gnome-power-manager doesn't notice when my UPS is on battery or plugged. | 06:44 |
| Mood | strange... ifconfig wlan0 up wasn't working | 06:44 |
| Sylphid | ineedubuntuhelp, blacklisted modules are usually in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 06:45 |
| Sylphid | ineedubuntuhelp, what commands did you run to extract the firmware | 06:45 |
| Brando753 | how do u format drives? | 06:45 |
| Brando753 | like a usb drive | 06:45 |
| jmichelsen | I am having a bit of a problem related to networking. I have a HDHomeRun TV tuner, it uses my PCs NIC to feed input. The machine has a wireless card that is used to connect to the net. For some reason, recently the machine is trying to route internal traffic out through the input of the NIC, instead of the wifi card. Is there a way to tell the pc to use the wifi card for routing instead of the NIC? | 06:45 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | Brando753, use gparted? | 06:46 |
| wilsoniya | brando install gparted, and try that | 06:46 |
| wilsoniya | Quack... lol | 06:46 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | jinx! | 06:46 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | what a bitch. | 06:46 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | just leaves after he gets what he wants | 06:46 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | i see how it is | 06:46 |
| wilsoniya | just like my ex wife | 06:46 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | zzzzzzzzzzzing! | 06:46 |
| WebcamWonder | jmichelsen: Haven't worked much with it, but the command "route" can tell you what is getting preference on which network | 06:46 |
| jmichelsen | WebcamWonder: ima try that | 06:47 |
| jordan_ | should i create two partitions for my windows os one for the os one for the files? | 06:47 |

| ineedubuntuhelp | sylphid: i am getting either command not found or permission denied for /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist (depending on sudo or not), and i did it by opening the file the mkdir /usr/lib/firmware you told me to make it, and then extracted into it by clicking on the desktop and "extract to" (sorry, new to ubuntu) | 06:47 |

| BlindCamel | still having problems with nvidia drivers ubuntu will only run in low graphics mode, i have the driver file downloaded just dont know how to install it | 06:48 |
| n8tuserf | ineedubuntuhelp-> firmware for what? | 06:48 |
| prince_jammys | ineedubuntuhelp: that file is a text file. you can view it with a text editor. it's not executable | 06:48 |
| Sylphid | ineedubuntuhelp, for the blacklist file you want to cat it..... cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 06:49 |
| maxxist | is there anyone who uses the cube rotate effect in compiz? who gets a distorted white streak underneath the gnome top panel? everything else looks and runs perfect. just wondering if there is a way to fix? I tried forlongs "sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24" command, it didnt fix it. I also tried to transparency the dock, it worked but didnt remove the lines. and more spots this could be fixed in? its nvid | 06:49 |
| maxxist | ia, if that helps. | 06:49 |
| Stargazer | I was wondering... i just got a gaming mouse... has a few buttons that work (like the ones on the side do forward and backward in Firefox) but the wheel has a side-to-side motion that works like buttons, too... how can i get those to work ? | 06:49 |
| jmichelsen | WebcamWonder: Have you had experience enterpreting the route output? I am not quite sure I understand what all this means | 06:49 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | actually your mistake was getting a gaming mouse for linux | 06:49 |
| redvamp128 | maxxist: could be a setting in sudo nvidia-settings | 06:49 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | linux just shits itself at the thought of anything game related | 06:50 |
| Stargazer | Quack[stinkpad]: the mouse works out of the box. | 06:50 |
| WebcamWonder | jmichelsen: Sure, the last column Iface tells which interface is used for which networks listed. So wlan0 is preffered or eth0 is preffered | 06:50 |
| jmichelsen | WebcamWonder: under destination, one says default and it is pointing to a gateway IP that I don't recognize, I would assume that is the problem, any ideas? | 06:50 |
| n8tuserf | BlindCamel-> video drivers can be found at /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video | 06:50 |
| WebcamWonder | jmichelsen: Are you connected to a router? Or a direct connection | 06:50 |
| Sylphid | ineedubuntuhelp, to extract the firmware you will need to do this ..... sudo cd /usr/lib/firmware/ && sudo tar -xvf </path/to/file.tar.gz> | 06:50 |
| maxxist | redvamp128 you are still around. forlongs was a good site. though. | 06:50 |
| jmichelsen | WebcamWonder: through a router | 06:51 |
| redvamp128 | maxxist: could be be a setting there-- possibly turn on anitlasing or something like that | 06:51 |
| WebcamWonder | jmichelsen: ifconfig should also list your gateway, you can confirm from there as well | 06:51 |
| bz0b | hey guys im trying to figure out how to make a usb drive bootable with an iso in ubuntu but the iso is of a different os | 06:51 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | is it a.....WINDOWS iso? | 06:51 |
| maxxist | redvamp128 checking now. | 06:51 |
| Stargazer | Quack[stinkpad]: not only did the mouse work out of the box... i can also control the speed of my pointer with it, too... | 06:51 |
| n8tuserf | Sylphid -> which firmware is it for? usually there is a /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/ directory | 06:52 |
| ravi | Hi there | 06:52 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | blacklisted i ahve: evbug, usbmouse, usbkbd, eepro100, de4x5, eth1394, snd_intel18x0m, snd_aw2, i2c_i801, prism545, bcm43xx, garmin_gps, asus_acpi, snd_pcsp, iwlagn | 06:52 |
| redvamp128 | maxxist: I don't get that distortion -- I have a geforce 4 Mx4000 (64mb) ubuntu 8.04.2 -- running Nvidia 96 | 06:52 |
| Sylphid | n8tuserf, wireless modules | 06:52 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | bz0b, if it's a windows iso then you probably gotta do it from a windows machine :/ | 06:52 |
| bz0b | Quack[stinkpad], yes | 06:52 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | cause you have to run bootsect from the cd's boot directory | 06:52 |
| jmichelsen | WebcamWonder: I don't see a gateway under ifconfig output, I see the two adapters, and see under route the two adapters being used for different destinations | 06:52 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | from the windows console, bootsect /nt60 drive letter | 06:52 |
| jmichelsen | WebcamWonder: but I am unsure where this weird gateway is coming from, just under one destination | 06:53 |
| n8tuserf | Sylphid -> then its it should be in /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/ not in /usr/lib/firmware | 06:53 |
| r-bot | is, running from the live cd a bad way to check your. system, as you do not have the new updates and builds ? as i have trouble acheving any sound from my intel DG45id motherboard. | 06:53 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | that's how i did it yesterday....i've been trying to get a bootable windows 7 cd | 06:53 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | flash drive rather | 06:53 |
| mroc1 | i'm getting a partition resize failed message on the 64 bit livecd. can anyone help? trying to set up a dual boot xp laptop. | 06:53 |
| bz0b | Quack[stinkpad], well i have a macbook and i have refit (for booting purposes) and i have a 2g usb drive and i need the wintendo to run a program that is not supported in linux | 06:53 |
| jmichelsen | WebcamWonder: do you know offhand the command to change a destinations gateway? im reading the man page now | 06:54 |
| n8tuserf | jmichelsen -> can you describe what you have again? and your network layout.. | 06:54 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | hmm i see | 06:54 |
| WebcamWonder | jmichelsen: nevermind, ifconfig actually doesn't list it. That is weird. I am not sure about where is it coming from, are you running a dhcp or static ip? | 06:54 |
| Guest46783 | how to install flock web browser?? | 06:54 |
| Mood | what's the different between "ifconfig eth0 down" and "ifdown eth0"? | 06:54 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | is wine able to use the windows command line? | 06:54 |
| SeaPhor | r-bot, my laptop had no sound, bad vid, and no wireless, untill i got all the updates, after that all worked | 06:54 |
| WebcamWonder | !find flock | 06:54 |
| ubottu | Found: libfile-flock-perl | 06:54 |
| bz0b | Quack[stinkpad], so if i copy the iso to a xp machine i reformatt the usb to what format? | 06:54 |
| redvamp128 | Quack[stinkpad]: ask that in #winehq but yes I think it does | 06:54 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | i get sudo: cd: command not found | 06:54 |
| Guest46783 | E: Couldn't find package flock | 06:54 |
| r-bot | SeaPhor: thank you i shall, install :) | 06:55 |
| WebcamWonder | Mood: I think ifup and ifdown actually run the config scripts, I am not sure though | 06:55 |
| jmichelsen | n8tuserf: sure, I have a HDHomeRun tv tuner that uses the PC NIC to input TV broadcasts, so I am using a wifi card to get a connection to the net, the wifi card traffic is unroutable though, in some cases, I am able to ssh in, but can't apt-get update, or ping external hosts | 06:55 |
| Trevski13 | so I just put ubuntu on my HP laptop.... ubuntu works great, (in the sense that it runs, lots of tweaks needed) but I lost the ability to boot to a windows OS :( and, I'd kind of like to continue using it...... could someone point me in the right direction? | 06:55 |
| jmichelsen | WebcamWonder: dhcp | 06:55 |
| n8tuserf | Mood -> i believe ifdown also takes care of dhcp stuff | 06:55 |
| SeaPhor | r-bot, that is just my laptop's experience, yours may/will differ | 06:55 |
| bz0b | Quack[stinkpad], does unetbootin work for that | 06:55 |
| maxxist | redvamp128 i turned on override application settings and set anti aliasing to and anisotropic filtering to 2x. no change. yeah I am running 8.10 x64 with a nvidia 9600. driver 180. wonder if its a glitch. | 06:55 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | i dunno, alls i know is how i did it :/ | 06:56 |
| WebcamWonder | jmichelsen: Then the gateway must be getting assigned by your router. It just seems weird your connection actually works with some weird gateway | 06:56 |
| Mood | n838901: ahh. strange it wouldn't work with my wlan0. perhaps it's a driver issue w/ ndiswrapper | 06:56 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | it might work in fat32, but mine was done in ntfs | 06:56 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | i ran bootsect from the cd's boot folder | 06:56 |
| n8tuserf | jmichelsen -> the HDHomerun tv tuner is a separate box or a card you plugged into your pci bus? | 06:56 |
| jmichelsen | n8tuserf: using the route command as suggested by webcamwonder, I see a destination pointing to a mystery gateway, using the wifi card | 06:56 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | basically you extract the iso and copy the contents to the flash drive | 06:56 |
| redvamp128 | maxxist: probably yes in the nvidia driver | 06:56 |
| ravi | I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 in my new laptop Compaq Presario CQ45, I'm getting sound in Headphones but not on speakers. here is my pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/112360/ , any suggestions? | 06:56 |
| Mood | n838901: i meant to say, "ifdown wlan0" was not working. but "ifconfig wlan0 down" seemed to work, but without any feedback | 06:56 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | then once you do, bootsect that shiet homie. if you can use windows command line from wine, then just use wine to do it | 06:56 |
| jmichelsen | n8tuserf: yes, it's a TV Capture device, the feed comes into it from cable or antenna, and it output over ethernet into the computers NIC port | 06:57 |
| n8tuserf | jmichelsen -> let me understand how this homeruntv stuff and advise you on what you should have | 06:57 |

| n8tuserf | jmichelsen -> and you have a separate nic card on your pc for getting to the internet? | 07:00 |
| jmichelsen | n8tuserf: I mean that's how it is configured to use the hdhomerun, over its own lan like you said | 07:00 |

| Trevski13 | mroc1: tried that, didn't work | 07:00 |

| Quack[stinkpad] | doesn't look like UDF is supported :( | 07:10 |
| Dursty | desktop | 07:10 |
| Dursty | intel 2.ghz | 07:10 |
| Mood | i haven't touched the "/etc/network/interfaces" file, but my wireless card still works beautifully. it just looks like ifdown and ifup do not work | 07:10 |

| === Matrix is now known as sa|nd | ||

| Dursty | nope...wiped XP and wanted to start again | 07:12 |
| Mood | n838901: yes. but ifdown/ifup do not work. i believe it's because there's no entry in the /etc/network/interfaces file | 07:12 |
| n8tuserf | jmichelsen -> by doing sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 07:12 |
| sa|nd | i want to install some thing like ipcop on ubuntu ? | 07:13 |
| sa|nd | eny body can help me | 07:13 |

| Dursty | lol...she doesn't have documents...she's old | 07:13 |
| n8tuserf | Mood -> right, so put the entry in | 07:13 |
| jmichelsen | n8tuserf: can do, please stand by | 07:13 |

| n8tuserf | FAJALOU -> almost sure it is dynamic -- lest you paid extrad to your ISP for the static | 07:14 |
| FAJALOU | nope lol :) | 07:14 |
| Gnea | Dursty: if you were smart, you'd reinstall XP and then use Wubi | 07:14 |
| Dursty | lol...she's my mom...and knows I love her...but computers arn't her thing...appearnently not mine either! she simly uses it for news, weather and e-mail (web-based) | 07:14 |
| Zyark | n8tuserf: depends on the config of the router ;9 | 07:14 |
| Gnea | !wubi | Dursty | 07:14 |

| Dursty | nope what is done is done...no more xp...partition is gone and have boot cd of ubuntu | 07:15 |
| Gnea | Dursty: so she is okay with this? | 07:15 |
| Zyark | n8tuserf: which in most cases are prefered for portforwarding ect | 07:15 |
| jmichelsen | n8tuserf: 192.168.1.19 | 07:16 |
| Zyark | n8tuserf: or just a DHCP reservation ;) | 07:16 |
| Dursty | must focus on getting this working and breaking the ties with evil microsoft | 07:16 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | come on man | 07:16 |

| sa|nd | i need help installing this http://www.ipcop.org/ on my ubntu | 07:16 |
| Dursty | learning a new os will help her fend of dementia...like DS brian trainer | 07:16 |
| Mood | n838901: btw, it doesn't appear secure to define the wireless info directly in /etc/network/interfaces... | 07:16 |
| Zyark | n8tuserf: aye, but im still talking local ip adresses, not external | 07:16 |
| DarkSmoke | why can't i install vmware on a system with kvm enabled? | 07:16 |
| DarkSmoke | :/ | 07:16 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | so Dursty, you are unable to get livecd to work either? | 07:16 |
| sa|nd | so i can use ubntu and chating and watching movis and mange my network ?> | 07:17 |
| Gnea | Dursty: okay, your cause is noble - considering ballmer is in charge now - i got my mom to use ubuntu as well ;) | 07:17 |
| n8tuserf | jmichelsen -> paste your /etc/network/interfaces file contents | 07:17 |
| sa|nd | eny body here can help p-lz | 07:17 |
| Dursty | correct...no live cd... | 07:17 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | are you sure the cd's not messed up? | 07:17 |

| sa|nd | so | 07:18 |
| Dursty | where and how do I use "rm -rf ~/.config" | 07:18 |
| sa|nd | gena its hard ? | 07:18 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | what if you try to install kubuntu | 07:18 |
| Dursty | or commands like sudo apt-get remove compiz | 07:18 |
| Dursty | sudo apt-get remove compiz-core | 07:18 |

| n8tuserf | jmichelsen -> correct those entries, and remove the unneccesary ones | 07:20 |

| Brando753 | hey what was the program again for making wubi a partition, i think something went wrong :D | 07:31 |
| ice_cream | it's your front..? | 07:32 |
| Gnea | mroc1: where did you create the mirror at? with Ubuntu or on an adaptec card? | 07:32 |
| ziroday | BedPost: does your keyboard have sound keys? | 07:32 |
| ziroday | BedPost: the sound keys should modify Master | 07:32 |
| bizkit | where can i sign up to the linux cult? | 07:32 |
| Gnea | Brando753: wubi does that - and it doesn't make a partition, it just uses a file :) | 07:32 |
| ziroday | bizkit: not here | 07:32 |
| bizkit | darn | 07:32 |
| Trevski13 | so I've got a partitioning/multi-boot problem, a windows os can't be found:( | 07:32 |
| mroc1 | Gnea: the raid was configured by the manufacturer (dell), who claims it's hardware raid. | 07:32 |
| BedPost | ziroday: yes, but wait, nevermind, now that I have front adjusted to a loud enough setting, the master volume adjust is fine. However, if I remember correctly (I've had this problem before), in a 4 speaker configuration, the sound only works for the front speakers. | 07:32 |
| Brando753 | no there was a program to make a physical partition from the virtual one wubi made | 07:32 |
| Gnea | mroc1: ah yes, dell - it's hardware raid. | 07:32 |
| BedPost | ziroday: but that's a problem for another day :) thanks for the help | 07:33 |
| ziroday | BedPost: well master should do what you want :) | 07:33 |
| ice_cream | i guess it depends on your vol app | 07:33 |
| durt | bizkit: try #debian | 07:33 |
| * ice_cream shrugs | 07:33 | |
| mroc1 | Gnea: so then...the fakeraid info doesn't apply? | 07:33 |
| Gnea | mroc1: correct. | 07:33 |
| Brando753 | hey what was the program again for making wubi a partition, i think something went wrong :D | 07:33 |
| rakudave | BedPost: System > Settings > Audio, adjust the chanel at the bottom to Front | 07:33 |
| Brando753 | ;( | 07:33 |
| Brando753 | now i remembered its LVPM | 07:35 |
| mroc1 | Gnea: then i think i'm lost a little. will intpreid just install automagically using the alternate cd with the true hardware raid? it doesn't work graphically regardless from what i read. | 07:35 |
| Trevski13 | anyone? partitioning/multi-boot gone half bad? | 07:36 |
| Gnea | mroc1: it should look at the entire raid as one harddrive and you should be able to partition and install | 07:36 |
| mroc1 | Gnea: ok, great. i'll give it a shot in the morning. thank you for your help. | 07:37 |

| Laurus | I'm trying to format an external USB drive using gparted. It was originally a Mac OS X drive. When I loaded it up in gparted I saw about 6 partitions that had about 28Kb of space; I erased all of them. Now there are is only one partition left, and an "unallocated" area of 128Mb. Should I delete this last partition, to unify all the space on the drive and then format, or should I simply format that one partition as is? | 07:47 |

| troublesh00ter | hello | 07:49 |
| Laurus | usser: No I don't need any of the data, I've already copied it all to my laptop HD. I was just worried that if I deleted the last remaining partition, I wouldn't be able to create a new one or something. | 07:49 |
| jordan_ | how do you know if you ubuntu 64 bit or 32 bit installed | 07:49 |
| usser | Laurus, no you should not have any such problem. | 07:50 |
| Laurus | usser: Okay I'm going to try deleting it then :) | 07:50 |
| Gnea | xpot: you said you were able to convert the .rpm to .deb and install that, right? | 07:50 |
| Gnea | Trevski13: i'm not sure then - that other thread seemed to have it all outlined just fine | 07:50 |

| Gnea | jordan_: depends if you installed 32bit or 64bit version of Ubuntu | 07:52 |
| usser | Laurus, yea ext3 is pretty much standard choice nowadays | 07:52 |

| jordan_ | i686 | 07:53 |
| Gnea | jordan_: it's 32-bit | 07:53 |

| jordan_ | ok is it easy to upgrade it to 64 | 07:54 |
| jordan_ | i will be installing 4 gb of ram | 07:54 |
| Gnea | jordan_: it would require a re-installation | 07:54 |
| worre | where i can get that smp? | 07:54 |
| ammagendut | hi there | 07:54 |
| usser | marky_mark, thats called kernel panic it means there's something seriously wrong with your installation could be malfunctioning or badly written/partially supported driver | 07:54 |
| jordan_ | omg | 07:54 |
| xpot | Gnea: negative... after unsucessful attempts I rm'ed it... i can re-create it if I need it?? | 07:54 |
| ammagendut | does ubuntu have p2p software? | 07:54 |
| Gnea | jordan_: if it was 64bit, the result of uname -m would be this: x86_64 | 07:54 |

| Gnea | jordan_: heh, did some sales person on the phone tell you that it'd be the 64bit flavor? | 07:56 |
| jordan_ | no, but why not make it 64bit | 07:56 |
| jordan_ | does hardy come with 64 bit? | 07:56 |
| worre | hey guys i am serious. i need that smp | 07:56 |
| Gnea | jordan_: never assume. | 07:56 |
| Gnea | there is a 64-bit version of hardy | 07:57 |
| * Gnea looks oddly at worre | 07:57 | |
| jordan_ | ok so I need to reinstall and wipe out everything? | 07:57 |
| ammagendut | Gnea: is that p2p software for ubuntu? i have try to download but my ubuntu cant find the package | 07:57 |
| Gnea | jordan_: if you have anything important, back it up first - but basically, yeah | 07:57 |
| === sauvin is now known as boucan | ||
| Gnea | ammagendut: yes, there are tons of p2p programs for ubuntu | 07:58 |
| jordan_ | theres a dell rescue dvd image | 07:58 |
| === boucan is now known as sauvin | ||
| Gnea | jordan_: is that on a separate partition? if so, you should leave that partition alone. | 07:58 |
| ammagendut | Gnea: ok thanks.. i'll go to the page | 07:58 |
| jordan_ | not sure | 07:58 |
| * xpot sends props to Gnea for managing such a busy room by himself. -=0) | 07:59 | |
| Gnea | jordan_: well, get your 64bit cd/dvd and see what it says - or install gparted and see for yourself | 07:59 |
| Gnea | :) | 07:59 |
| jordan_ | i already made the dell rescue dvd image | 07:59 |
| usser | Laurus, no. it says when you try to create a partition? | 07:59 |
| Gnea | jordan_: oh, I misunderstood - sorry | 08:00 |
| Laurus | usser: No, when I try to delete the first 8 "unknown" partitions, sdb1 through sdb8. | 08:00 |
| Laurus | usser: They're all 256Kb or less. | 08:00 |
| jordan_ | i just got it today so i don't need to back up either | 08:00 |
| jordan_ | i'm worried there were drivers packaged that i will need | 08:01 |
| === sauvin is now known as bocan | ||
| === bocan is now known as sauvin | ||
| Gnea | i doubt it | 08:01 |
| * xpot pings Gnea to make sure he's not forgotten in this mess. ;) | 08:02 | |
| jordan_ | anyway is using 32bit os on 64bit processor wasting half the processor? | 08:02 |
| Gnea | ubuntu typically comes with every driver that it needs, for the most part | 08:02 |
| Laurus | usser: I think I'll try to reformat all of the 8 weird partitions | 08:02 |
| Laurus | usser: And THEN delete them :p | 08:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | jordan_no | 08:02 |
| Gnea | xpot: blah!!! is it the same version they have on the site? | 08:02 |
| Trevski13 | jordan_ um.... no | 08:02 |
| xpot | Gnea: yes | 08:02 |
| Gnea | xpot: then yeah, it should work... in theory. | 08:03 |
| ammagendut | ubuntu is anomity for windows virus.. but can those virus stay in ubuntu and then copy itself into usb flash? | 08:03 |
| xpot | Gnea: VMware Server 2 | 08:03 |
| jordan_ | so it would be slower using a 64bit os | 08:03 |
| Gnea | jordan_: using 64bit would be faster, plus it'll recognize and use more than 4gigs of ram | 08:04 |
| rakudave | but it will also fill more ram | 08:04 |
| xpot | Gnea: I have already attempted to re-install and uninstall without success. Are there any other methods to clean out aptitude? | 08:04 |
| usser | Laurus, reformatting is a higher level operation than deleting the partition, usually deleting doesnt even care if the partition is intact. it will deal with anything, any random garbage. If it cant delete it, theres something really wrong. | 08:04 |
| jordan_ | ok so if its not wasting half the processor how would using a 64bit os be faster I don't understand that | 08:04 |
| usser | Laurus, you are not booting from hdd you're trying to reformat are you? | 08:04 |
| Laurus | usser: Ok, I see. | 08:04 |
| Laurus | usser: I think I forgot to unmount it first. | 08:05 |
| Laurus | usser: That's probably the problem. | 08:05 |
| Gnea | xpot: it's looking for the original .deb file in /var/cache/apt/archives/ so cleaning out would not be a good idea. | 08:05 |
| Laurus | usser: I'll be right back, I'm going to reboot, plug it in, and see what happens. | 08:05 |
| xpot | Gnea: I see. Do you think recreating the .deb and throwing it in ../apt/archives then removing will do the trick? (just trying to figure | 08:06 |
| xpot | my next step) | 08:06 |
| Gnea | xpot: it might | 08:06 |
| xpot | Gnea: thank you much. Going to give it a shot. | 08:06 |
| Trevski13 | jordan_: yes Gnea is right, 32 won't quite recognize 4 GBs 64 recognizes something like 16 or 32GB I think (but I wouldn't swear to it) ...... it has to do with addressing I believe but again, I'm not 100% sure | 08:06 |
| Trevski13 | *32 vs 64 has do to with addressing I believe | 08:07 |
| zurn | ware | 08:09 |
| jordan_ | but you can load 2 32bit instructions in a 64bit processor | 08:09 |
| === sauvin is now known as boucan | ||
| Trevski13 | jordan_: no, it's not that simple | 08:09 |

| Light- | nope* | 08:11 |
| troublesh00ter | Hello, somebody known about ipwraw ? | 08:11 |
| Light- | jordan_, its amd64 because amd were the first to release 64-bit cpus for the desktop market iirc | 08:11 |
| smacky | how do I install and play a game besides using Wine | 08:11 |
| Light- | smacky, you need to make sure the game is linux compatible first otherwise you cant | 08:12 |
| Light- | smacky, UT2004 is a good one | 08:12 |
| Trevski13 | jordan_ exactly, they're just "showing off" that it's 64bit | 08:12 |
| Gnea | jordan_: the way they made AMD64 is that it supports both AMD and Intel 64bit procs (the AMD64 and EM64T) | 08:12 |
| nbuntu | excuse me - but when i use an app with hyperlinks and click them (eg Prism) the link doesnt open in firefox unless firefox is already open. If firefox isnt open - then it will start, but only at a blank page rather than at the link. Firefox is my dafult browser. Any ideas? | 08:13 |

| Light- | Ev0: urban terror is the closest nix game to counter strike imo | 08:16 |
| rakudave | ubuntu: then the problem could be prism... | 08:16 |
| jordan_ | yes i thought 64 bits was a lot larger than 32gb that would be 2^36 | 08:16 |
| Gnea | kebomix: setup a firewall using iptables | 08:16 |

| worre | smacky, you need wine to play windows games like wow | 08:17 |
| troublesh00ter | hello Gnea | 08:17 |
| Ev0 | can I get it with synaptic? | 08:17 |
| rakudave | nbuntu: then i don't know :( | 08:17 |
| Gnea | troublesh00ter: hi. | 08:17 |
| _2 | O__o 7[0-7][0-5] wont cause any problems | 08:17 |
| nbuntu | rakudave: ok thanks anyway | 08:17 |
| TheFunkbomb | anyone having trouble getting updates? | 08:17 |
| usser | Laurus, you can just chmod the mount point | 08:17 |
| Light- | Ev0: nah, get it from their site. dont worry, you just double click the binary and it runs (make sure SDL is installed though) | 08:17 |
| troublesh00ter | you know the ipwraw driver ? | 08:17 |
| smacky | Thanks worre | 08:17 |
| Gnea | nope | 08:17 |
| usser | Laurus, if you want to it to be mounted on boot add a record to /etc/fstab | 08:17 |
| Ev0 | SDL???????? sorry new to *nix | 08:18 |
| nbuntu | for anyone else out there: when i use an app with hyperlinks and click them (eg Prism or others) the link doesnt open in firefox unless firefox is already open. If firefox isnt open - then it will start, but only at a blank page rather than at the link. Firefox is my default browser. Any ideas? | 08:18 |
| jordan_ | so once i download this 64 bit how do i go about installing it over the old one just put in the cd? | 08:18 |
| Trevski13 | jordan_ yeah sorry about that, it's late and I don't think terribly well when it's late :D | 08:18 |
| troublesh00ter | :( | 08:18 |
| Laurus | usser: So, run sudo chown -R username:username /media/drive ? | 08:18 |
| Gnea | TheFunkbomb: works fine here | 08:18 |
| Light- | Ev0: search "libsdl" in synaptic and install it | 08:19 |
| Ev0 | Thank you Light | 08:19 |
| Laurus | usser: Works! Excellent, thanks so much :) | 08:19 |
| _2 | Laurus if it's a linux filesystem then that should work | 08:19 |
| kebomix | Gnea: what is iptables? | 08:19 |
| Gnea | !iptables | kebomix | 08:19 |
| ubottu | kebomix: 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). | 08:19 |
| usser | Laurus, yep | 08:19 |
| Trevski13 | jordan_ yeah, the easiest (in my opinion) would be to just put the CD in and when you go to choose the location make sure to check the "format partition" check box | 08:19 |
| Trevski13 | that way it'll wipe the partition before the install | 08:20 |
| usser | Laurus, chown it if you're the only user, if there are more ppl you probably want to chmod it to 777 too | 08:20 |
| Laurus | usser: Cool, thanks :) | 08:20 |
| Ketrel | Question, if I'm going to run a program from a terminal, say xcalc, and I want it to not output to the terminal, how would I do that? | 08:21 |
| Ketrel | xcalc >> /dev/null & didn't work | 08:21 |
| usser | Ketrel, xcalc > /dev/null & | 08:22 |
| Dragonfly | Hi there | 08:22 |
| _2 | Ketrel xcalc >/dev/null 2>&1 & | 08:22 |
| Ketrel | usser: still outputs to terminal | 08:22 |
| koshar4 | jordan_: 2^64 bytes of RAM is something on the order of a billion gigabytes of RAM. | 08:22 |
| _2 | Ketrel it's probably outputting to stderr thus 2>&1 | 08:23 |
| Ketrel | _2: can you break that down, (I want to understand how it works) | 08:23 |
| Dragonfly | i need help with Printer sharing >< | 08:23 |
| _2 | Ketrel 2>&1 ties the output of (litterally redirrects it) stderr to stdout so that the >/dev/null catches all output | 08:24 |
| joejc | is it possible to align icons to the right by default? | 08:24 |
| TheFunkbomb | I have no idea why I'm missing the key :( | 08:24 |
| Trevski13 | hoshar4 I posted the number above, it's 16 Exabytes, which is 1000 Pedabytes which is 1000 Gigabytes which is yeah 16 million Gigabytes of ram | 08:25 |
| _2 | Ketrel the three main *put's are 0 = stdin 1 = stdout and 2 = stderr there are others but that's all most people ever want/need to know about | 08:25 |
| Ketrel | _2 ah ok, I think I get it, I wish I understood the syntax of that though, but that's something I'll have to read up on I guess | 08:25 |
| jordan_ | is that all koshar4 | 08:27 |
| Ketrel | anyways, thanks _2 | 08:27 |
| Dragonfly | could you guys help me set printer sharing for W****s??? I'm sort of lost | 08:28 |
| Dragonfly | please | 08:28 |
| cbill | hey, can someone help me with a libquicktime dependency? | 08:29 |
| Trevski13 | hoshar4 I posted the number above, it's 16 Exabytes, which is 1000 Pedabytes which is 1000*Terabytes which is 1000 Gigabytes which is actually 16 billion Gigabytes of ram | 08:29 |
| _2 | Ketrel common > redirrects stdout while you can specify 1> stdout (redundant) 2> stderr <<0 stdin you can pipe them too | 08:29 |

| lenovo | does anyone knows how to run rybka on ubuntu? | 08:31 |
| Circs | Is there a way to lose all the changes you made to your top gnome bar? | 08:31 |
| cbill | hi, libquicktime says "libdv: Missing / Disabled (Go to http://libdv.sourceforge.net)" but i do have it installed | 08:31 |
| Trevski13 | *koshar4 (sorry I wrote your name wrong:D) I posted the number above, it's 16 Exabytes, which is 1000 Pedabytes which is 1000*Terabytes which is 1000 Gigabytes which is actually 16 billion Gigabytes of ram | 08:31 |

| Sergeant_Pony | rakudave: I found a solution to my problem | 08:32 |
| cbill | _2, ok trying to fix | 08:33 |

| Trevski13 | yes, thank you yay for typos! | 08:33 |
| cbill | _2 i just fixed it with: ./configure --enable-gpl --with-libdv :) | 08:33 |
| usser | Circs, rm -rf ~/.gnome2 that will reset all your modifications though not just top bar | 08:33 |
| lenovo | can someone tell me how to run rybka under ubuntu? | 08:33 |
| Circs | usser: Ty | 08:33 |
| ari_stress | thanks guys, i'm going home now. so sleepy. see u | 08:34 |
| Circs | usser: Is that command safe, I've seen lots of videos where it breaks stuff | 08:34 |

| === boucan is now known as sauvin | ||
| _2 | cbill actually you didn't "fix" it, you worked around the issue. but ok. | 08:34 |
| usser | Circs, ask around if ppl confirm its safe, never trust a single person's opinion when it comes to rm -rf :) | 08:35 |
| Circs | usser: Ty | 08:35 |
| cbill | _2, ah that makes sense, hopefully it works in the end, lol | 08:35 |

| ziroday | syn-fin: as long as you use the latest version (8.10) | 09:03 |
| |_ocke | syn-fin, if its nvidia, ubuntu pretty much supports it | 09:04 |
| syn-fin | ziroday, its supported 100%? I.E. CUDA is supported? | 09:04 |
| _2 | quincunx55555 right now the most common name eludes me. | 09:04 |
| quincunx55555 | _2 it seems like that is what "approx" does. From comments that I googled, people were favoring approx to the other similar apps | 09:04 |

| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu.

| _2 | quincunx55555 it might also be to your liking to just share the /var/cache/apt/packages/ with the remote box mounting it on the dir of the same name again sshfs would work well for that. | 09:11 |
| usser | askand, you may try X forwarding with ssh, and run apps from your stationary computer on eee but im not sure if thats exactly what u need | 09:11 |

| quincunx55555 | _2 when my ISP throttles me down after downloading too much per month, it's worse than dialup | 09:14 |
| _2 | quincunx55555 no. you have forgotten how slow dialup is. | 09:14 |
| joot | dinesh372, you probably need to go to #perl | 09:14 |
| usser | askand, not really | 09:14 |
| quincunx55555 | _2 well, I can only connect after 11pm, and then only text chat, maybe download a text web page | 09:14 |
| usser | askand, all you need is ssh server on the desktop and client on eeepc | 09:15 |
| _2 | quincunx55555 heh. yeah that's about the same. | 09:15 |
| usser | askand, sudo apt-get install openssh-server on the server | 09:15 |
| aSHWIN | i need to optimize performance of nfs what are the parameters | 09:15 |

| user_ | gorski: (since intrepid a lot of stuff is determined automatically so xorg.conf isnt the top reference for settings anymore) | 09:15 |
| askand | usser: that I have | 09:15 |
| user_ | gorski: sorry | 09:15 |
| dinesh372 | joot: how can it be done going to perl | 09:15 |
| usser | askand, sudo apt-get install openssh-client on the eee | 09:15 |
| user_ | Goliath23: (since intrepid a lot of stuff is determined automatically so xorg.conf isnt the top reference for settings anymore) | 09:15 |
| gorski | :) | 09:15 |
| usser | askand, now try ssh'ing into the desktop with ssh -X -C username@computername | 09:16 |
| _2 | usser umm i know it's not really needed, but the ssh meta package depends on both the server and client | 09:16 |
| user_ | Goliath23: what is the url of the forum entry you found? | 09:16 |
| _2 | !info ssh | 09:16 |
| ubottu | ssh (source: openssh): secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:5.1p1-3ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 1 kB, installed size 44 kB | 09:16 |
| bazhang_ | aMuleAduGuest400, /join #ubuntu-it | 09:16 |
| _2 | simple to remember and reccomend ^ | 09:16 |
| usser | _2, ah thanks, but does ubuntu come with ssh-client by default? | 09:17 |
| gthj | the netbeans is looks like visual c++ and borland c++ builder? | 09:17 |
| CAiRO_ | how can i regenerate the control.stub for the restricted-modules package? | 09:17 |
| usser | gthj, nothing like it, its written in java after all, but pretty much all the features of visual C++ are there | 09:18 |
| _2 | usser as far as i know all default ubuntu installation methoods do have the client by default but that still doesn't assume that they havent removed things. | 09:18 |
| aron | please,who can help me to set up awstats? | 09:18 |
| CAiRO_ | for the kernel itself and the modules packages, i could do ./debian/rules debian/control.stub but it doesn't work for the restricted modules | 09:18 |
| joot | dinesh372, just put /join #perl | 09:18 |
| _2 | and that assumption can, like any other assumption, bite you! | 09:18 |
| usser | heh | 09:18 |
| gthj | ok thank you | 09:18 |
| simon127 | so anyone know how to backup/export mailq? | 09:19 |
| askand | usser: what is supposed to happend when I run that? : o | 09:19 |
| joot | dinesh372, also there is much google on bareword not allowed | 09:19 |
| usser | askand, it should ask for the password, the one that u use on the server | 09:19 |
| askand | usser: yep | 09:19 |
| quincunx55555 | thanks everyone! | 09:19 |
| usser | askand, go ahead and enter it | 09:19 |
| Ketrel | I'm having a big problem trying to mount a windows share from command line, I keep getting: mount error 13 = Permission denied | 09:20 |
| Ketrel | I KNOW my credentials are correct | 09:20 |
| askand | usser: and now it looks like a regular ssh session | 09:20 |
| usser | askand, yes | 09:20 |
| ValentineX | MY screen refresh rate is set to zero how to increase that? | 09:20 |
| usser | askand, try to run xterm | 09:20 |
| ichbinesderelch | Ketrel: ran it with sudo? | 09:20 |
| user_ | simon127: #ubuntu-server might help you, or the channel of your mail-server (exim?) | 09:20 |
| Ketrel | ichbinesderelch: I have to | 09:20 |
| Ketrel | it won't even let me run it without | 09:20 |
| fiveofoh | ValentineX: If your screen refresh rate is set to zero, how are you chatting? | 09:20 |
| Ketrel | mount: only root can do that | 09:20 |
| askand | usser: ah, that did work :) | 09:21 |
| * fiveofoh is feeling rather biting tonight | 09:21 | |
| Ketrel | ichbinesderelch: my command: sudo mount //192.168.1.170/c$ ./smb_share/ -t cifs -o username=andrew,password=123456 | 09:21 |
| usser | askand, right so you can open X apps from the server on the ee | 09:21 |
| ValentineX | fiveofoh: wait i upgrade to jaunty | 09:21 |
| usser | askand, do you run gnome on the server | 09:21 |
| askand | usser: yes | 09:21 |
| usser | askand, it may look weird and break things, but still try running gnome-session | 09:21 |
| usser | askand, if it doesnt work just kill ssh connection | 09:22 |
| _2 | usser while thinking about ssh, i setup sshd to pause 10 seconds before authenticating then limit the grace time to 30 seconds and the number of retries to 2 overkill i'm sure, but keeps kids from eating up bandwidth with ssh nobody@your.ip and trying to brute force it just a thought. | 09:22 |
| Yossarian | hey peeps | 09:22 |
| ichbinesderelch | Ketrel: can you ping the other computer in lan? | 09:22 |
| ValentineX | fiveofoh: http://imagebin.ca/view/PfCp0G.html | 09:22 |
| Ketrel | ichbinesderelch: yup | 09:23 |
| Yossarian | i'm using intrepid x64 on a toshiba A130. everything works fine, except for when i plug in my headphones, nothing happens and the speakers keep sounding on, headphones mute. | 09:23 |
| Yossarian | what can i do? | 09:23 |
| usser | _2, i'd just change the port :) | 09:23 |
| usser | _2, and set UsersAllowed in sshd.conf | 09:23 |
| _2 | and, while i am thinking about ssh, why would permission on ~/ matter to ssh whether it reads the public key from ~/.ssh/ or not ? | 09:24 |
| ichbinesderelch | Ketrel: do you have sambafs installed? | 09:24 |
| _2 | usser yes allowing only specific users is good too | 09:24 |
| ichbinesderelch | Ketrel: sry smbfs | 09:24 |
| Ketrel | [34250.008242] Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE | 09:25 |

| Ketrel | (and yes I do) | 09:25 |
| _2 | usser security by obscurity, port change is a deturant to whom ? | 09:25 |
| Ketrel | (That's a dmesg | tail ) | 09:25 |
| Yossarian | bump | 09:25 |
| ValentineX | fiveofoh: even i cannot change that zero there is no other option http://imagebin.ca/view/nWlqgVU.html | 09:25 |
| gthj | usser, do you know an ide that makes the same thing that visual c++ and borland c++ builder do? | 09:25 |
| Ketrel | ichbinesderelch: same error if I substitute mount.cifs for mount -t cifs | 09:26 |
| usser | _2, well most scanners are automatic and those kids never bother or lack knowledge to scan ports | 09:27 |
| _2 | gthj have you looked at kdevelop ? | 09:27 |
| ichbinesderelch | Ketrel: tried mounting it with -t smbfs? | 09:27 |
| _2 | usser exactly | 09:27 |
| |_ocke | holy crap i hadn't looked at the userlist lately, 1280 users! | 09:27 |
| gthj | no, but ill looking for... | 09:27 |
| Ketrel | ichbinesderelch: I've tried, same error | 09:27 |
| _2 | |_ocke yeah it't way down,,, wonder why ? | 09:28 |
| Yossarian | bump :( | 09:28 |
| |_ocke | that's down?? | 09:28 |
| ichbinesderelch | Ketrel: how dos your credential file look like? | 09:28 |
| _2 | |_ocke yeah. catually | 09:28 |
| _2 | act.* | 09:28 |
| |_ocke | last i remember looking, it was like 4-500 | 09:28 |
| Ketrel | ichbinesderelch: as far as I know, I'm not using one | 09:28 |
| usser | askand, with that kind of setup you may end up with panels overlapping,rendering issues etc, so what i do is i run a simple window manager like fluxbox or openbox with a single ssh window open then run gnome-sessions, helps it keep cleaner | 09:28 |
| Ketrel | as I said before | 09:28 |
| user_ | Yossarian: does it work, if you mute the speakers manually? | 09:28 |
| Ketrel | my command: sudo mount //192.168.1.170/c$ ./smb_share/ -t cifs -o username=andrew,password=123456 | 09:28 |
| |_ocke | ubuntu is really catching on mainstream | 09:28 |
| _2 | |_ocke sure that wasn't #kubuntu | 09:28 |
| |_ocke | most people i talk to in the it set, and at least half of the people in every other set have at least heard of it | 09:29 |
| _2 | |_ocke #kubuntu runs around that number | 09:29 |

| Yossarian | user_: no. nothing happens when i plug the headphones in. but it did work under vista :\ | 09:29 |
| |_ocke | _2, no, it was this chan, i havent noticed the number for probably more than a year | 09:29 |
| Guest92063 | I need to reinstall ubuntu but i also want a partition for windows vista, would it be easier to install vista first then install ubuntu? | 09:29 |
| === Guest92063 is now known as jedi06 | ||
| |_ocke | jedi06, just use parted to resize your win partition | 09:30 |
| usser | jedi06, yea windows first | 09:30 |
| askand | usser: thanks! | 09:30 |
| _2 | |_ocke you must have looked durring a netsplit or something. | 09:30 |
| usser | askand, no problem | 09:30 |
| jedi06 | yea thought it would be easier to do windows first | 09:30 |
| |_ocke | oh from blank disk | 09:30 |
| user_ | Yossarian: does it work, if you mute the speakers manually (via sound control)? Are your manual settings ignored by the system? | 09:30 |
| |_ocke | yeah definitely windows first :P | 09:30 |
| |_ocke | it s greedy with the mbr | 09:30 |
| jedi06 | yes | 09:30 |
| fiveofoh | jedi06: Heck yes | 09:30 |
| Yossarian | user, i have no idea. if i mute the speakers, they will go mute, but still no headphone | 09:31 |
| fiveofoh | jedi06: Windows, oldest to newest, then Linux | 09:31 |
| jedi06 | and it will mount the ntfs volume for me | 09:31 |
| * fiveofoh is triple booting with Vista/XP/Ubuntu | 09:31 | |

| GreenDelta | On my ubuntu machine every video (even the visualization of rhythmbox) flickers horribly... is this a codec problem? and when yes, how can i fix it? | 09:31 |
| jedi06 | yes i know | 09:31 |
| |_ocke | ntfs is supported since like breezy or earlier heh | 09:32 |
| durt | Guest92063: yes, for the sole reason that windows over writes the MBR | 09:32 |
| jedi06 | i thought about getting xp but i don't know why i need it if i have vista | 09:32 |
| Ketrel | ichbinesderelch: any idea/ | 09:32 |
| user_ | Yossarian: do you mean that speaker output and headphone output are on the same level whenever you change one of them? | 09:32 |
| Yossarian | no | 09:32 |
| Yossarian | i can change them seperately | 09:32 |
| Yossarian | but no sound from headphone | 09:32 |
| fiveofoh | jedi06: Cause it's less resource hungry | 09:33 |
| fiveofoh | I just had it laying around | 09:33 |
| |_ocke | jedi06, i'd say for the one reason (besides many others) that every website and everything else you do on the computer gets sent through the NSA and homeland defense dept before hitting its target | 09:33 |
| ezerhoden | GreenDelta: are you using compiz? | 09:33 |
| user_ | Yossarian: hmm, have you tried unmuting headphone or turning volume to max? | 09:33 |
| k1ko | GreenDelta: try turning off the visual effects :) System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects>None | 09:33 |
| |_ocke | jedi06, that is in vista, not in xp | 09:33 |
| GreenDelta | yeah i am using compiz... | 09:33 |
| jedi06 | lol | 09:33 |

| _2 | |_ocke selinux | 09:33 |
| |_ocke | its true | 09:33 |
| ezerhoden | GreenDelta: you have to change with video output drivers for the various apps, totem, mplayer etc... | 09:34 |
| |_ocke | _2, any linux.. | 09:34 |
| _2 | nevermind | 09:34 |

| GreenDelta | k1ko: if i turn off compiz, it works fine, but i want to have both... | 09:34 |
| alpaka | what's possibly wrong? is there anyone else who is experiencing similar symptoms? I have even tried reinstalling evolution and deleting the ".evolution" folder | 09:34 |
| Yossarian | tried most of those | 09:34 |
| GreenDelta | ezerhoden: what exactly do you mean? | 09:34 |
| user_ | Yossarian: try all of those ;-) also does google suggest anything: intrepid sound problems $your-computermodel | 09:36 |
| CAiRO_ | how can i build the restricted modules only for one specific flavour? | 09:36 |
| Yossarian | http://arbitraryusefulinfo.wordpress.com/2007/10/10/configuring-headphones-for-ubuntu-704-on-a-toshiba-a135-s2356/ tried this and it messed up my sound completely. had to reinstall ALSA. | 09:37 |
| _2 | alpaka unless there is an ownership/permissions issue it would have to be a bug in the app i guess | 09:37 |
| === Viking_ is now known as Vikin9 | ||
| _2 | alpaka and sense you have deleted ~/.evolution/mail/local that kinda rules out permissions | 09:38 |
| Yossarian | thing is, i have perfect sound, just not through the headphones, so i don't know what to start messing around with | 09:38 |
| Yossarian | isn't there some sort of jack sensing applet? | 09:38 |

| GreenDelta | k1ko: ATI 4850 | 09:42 |
| k1ko | cool :) mine too | 09:42 |
| k1ko | i have the same problem | 09:42 |
| ezerhoden | GreenDelta: you can try gstreamer-properties and change video output to X Window System (No Xv) | 09:43 |
| k1ko | and i used to search for solution | 09:43 |
| === PaniK is now known as enjoy | ||
| k1ko | but i got tired... | 09:43 |
| GreenDelta | ezerhoden: i this a programm? | 09:43 |
| ezerhoden | GreenDelta: and if you use mplayer, edit the ~/.mplayer/config and change the line vo=xv to vo=x11 | 09:44 |
| Yossarian | bump, i have no idea what to do :( | 09:44 |
| Yossarian | and i really don't wanna go back to vista *sob* | 09:45 |
| ezerhoden | GreenDelta: i have never used rythembox but if it uses gstreamer then it should be ok after the 1st fix | 09:45 |
| Heliodor | Helluh | 09:46 |
| k1ko | GreenDelta: go to the terminal and type gstreamer-properties ... a window will popup | 09:46 |
| Heliodor | It takes like 10 minutes until eth1 is up, is there any way to speed this up? | 09:46 |
| user_ | Yossarian: you could test with a livecd of jaunty (devel branch) | 09:46 |
| GreenDelta | k1ko: k | 09:47 |
| boshhead | Are there any good free browsers besides firefox? (Ideally it would also support flash and such). Mainly I'm looking for a browser that doesn't crash after 10 minutes of browsing. | 09:47 |
| ice_cream | lol | 09:47 |
| sfire | Heliodor, the easiest way would be to set it up for a static IP.. but I wonder what is taking DHCP so long | 09:47 |
| ice_cream | boshhead, maybe you should take it easy and not blame the best browser for crashing ;) | 09:47 |
| k1ko | GreenDelta: then go to [tab]video and under Default Output choose plugin to be X Window System (No Xv) | 09:47 |
| ezerhoden | boshhead: epiphany, opera, links2 -g | 09:47 |
| sfire | Heliodor, you are using a router correct? | 09:47 |
| GreenDelta | k1ko: it works fine | 09:47 |
| Yossarian | no other way of making it work? | 09:47 |
| GreenDelta | k1ko: thx :) | 09:48 |
| boshhead | ice_cream: What makes it the best? And I'm just stating a fact... it really does crash on me extremely often. | 09:48 |
| k1ko | GreenDelta: the idea was ezerhoden's :) 10x him | 09:48 |
| user_ | Yossarian: at the moment in this channel nobody knows the solution | 09:48 |
| GreenDelta | ezerhoden: ok thx to you, sry i mixed it up :P | 09:49 |
| Yossarian | oh bummer :( | 09:49 |
| * ice_cream sighs | 09:49 | |
| ezerhoden | GreenDelta: yep, np | 09:49 |
| Yossarian | but if it helps: in vista, i had to set the headphones as the default output before it would work. before i did, it did the same thing as in ubuntu | 09:50 |
| boshhead | ice_cream: I'm not complaining about a once a day thing. The vast majority of my browsing sessions end in crashes, rather than quits. | 09:50 |
| Yossarian | but in ubuntu i can't find a switch for it | 09:50 |
| Heliodor | sfire: Yes, there is a router. But dmesg waits for the link to get ready to get up, so i am not sure that it is the router that is the problem. It is configured as static already with networkmanager properly disabled. | 09:50 |
| ror | hey, does anyone know which compiz plugin has the window switcher on ctrl+alt+up? I've lost it and can't find which ccsm plugin it's in :( | 09:50 |
| ice_cream | boshhead, k, keep thinking it's firefox | 09:51 |
| k1ko | Yossarian: which program you use to listen music? | 09:51 |
| boshhead | ice_cream: well what is it, then? | 09:51 |
| Yossarian | rhythmbox, vlc for videos | 09:51 |
| Heliodor | sfire: funny thing is, i have two network cards and both take time to come up. | 09:51 |
| loom__ | does anyone know the name of the CLI program which is spec. for last.fm ? | 09:51 |

| Heliodor | sfire: and i dont have this problem in windows, or os x | 09:51 |
| sfire | hmmm | 09:51 |
| Heliodor | sfire: umm, you think it might be the cable? | 09:52 |
| sfire | I've seen network cables do really funny things | 09:52 |
| Heliodor | sfire: Good point, il check into that | 09:52 |
| sfire | is this the same cable that works fine in windows? | 09:52 |
| Heliodor | sfire: no, i had two cables. so you might have hit the nail here :) | 09:53 |

| jsfoxton | i looked in drive_c but cannot find it there | 09:55 |
| ezerhoden | toehio: what are you trying to do. | 09:56 |
| jsfoxton | or in program files | 09:56 |
| loom__ | jsfoxton: that's weird , it should be there ... will Illustrator work through wine.. i thought i read somewhere thath none of Ill is supported or usable.. | 09:56 |
| boshhead | ezerhoden: I installed noscript to try and help with the problem. Since a big cause of crashing (or really slowing down) is if I load a website with a lot of flash videos. Noscript disables the videos until I click on them, so it's helped a bit with that. | 09:56 |
| k1ko | Yossarian: when you change the preferences better play other sound/music | 09:56 |
| ezerhoden | boshhead: flash is probably causing the majority of the crashes | 09:57 |
| faderhval | Hey folks, anyone have a working link for loki's open UT 436? | 09:57 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about game | 09:57 |

| ubottu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 09:57 |
| jsfoxton | loom: well i saw that photoshop didnt work so i tried illustrator through terminal and it ran perfectly....i enter my serial number and it installed | 09:57 |
| k1ko | Yossarian: just to be sure... cuz i'm with 2 snd cards and in XP to see the effect when changing the output i have to Stop the music and the Play it... | 09:58 |
| UrsusTas | jsfoxton: try ... $ find ~/ "*.exe" -print | 09:58 |
| ice_cream | faderhval, possibly here http://www.lokigames.com/products/ut/updates.php3 | 09:58 |
| boshhead | ezerhoden: Anything I can do short of disabling flash? My system is completely up to date according to the update manager :) | 09:58 |
| _2 | UrsusTas -print is redundant | 09:58 |
| Yossarian | nah, nothing happens. laptop speakers keep working but no headphones | 09:58 |
| Yossarian | they're set at MAX in the volume control | 09:59 |
| loom__ | jsfoxton: gotta give it a try ... try searching for illustrator .exe file.. it should be SOMEWHERE | 09:59 |
| k1ko | (11:56:59 AM) k1ko: Yossarian: when you change the preferences better play other sound/music | 09:59 |

| Yossarian | isn't there some switch like there is in the windows drivers? | 09:59 |
| _2 | UrsusTas and you might want -iname '*.exe' | 09:59 |
| k1ko | Yossarian: done this? | 09:59 |
| Yossarian | k1ko, i tried | 09:59 |
| Yossarian | :( | 09:59 |
| k1ko | Yossarian: wierd... | 09:59 |
| Yossarian | on my other laptop. there is a switch in ubuntu for the headphones. here, it is missing | 10:00 |
| user_ | Yossarian: on the long run with new laptop hardware i can hearly recommend trying out the latest live-cd | 10:00 |
| faderhval | ice_cream: thanks but those links does (for some reason) not work for me..:/ | 10:00 |
| UrsusTas | _2: true, sorry it's been awhile since I used find ;) normally i just use updatedb / locate | 10:00 |
| jsfoxton | loom: it did the exact same thing with itunes. I got it to instal through terminal and wine but it disappeared | 10:00 |
| jsfoxton | i'm looking for it now | 10:01 |
| _2 | UrsusTas on my system that takes a long time. | 10:01 |
| _2 | UrsusTas so i use find a lot | 10:01 |
| Yossarian | ok but i don't have any blank cds now :P | 10:01 |
| Appi | hi guys, when I play any video from Youtube, there is break in voice often, can any one please help me in sorting out | 10:01 |
| bullgard4 | man cron: "daemon to execute scheduled commands (Vixie Cron)." What does 'Vixie Cron' mean here? | 10:02 |
| _2 | user_ what means hearly recommend ? | 10:02 |
| boshhead | bullgard4: it's just a flavor of cron. There are several cron daemons including vixie cron, fcron, dcron... | 10:02 |
| UrsusTas | _2: locate is pretty much instant on my system O.o .. it's a database that is searched, not the actual file system .. | 10:02 |
| Yossarian | this is so frustrating. ubuntu works so well, all things considered. when i watch a movie in xp or vista, the system gets incredibly hot(to around 70c) but when i do the same with ubuntu, even with games, it sticks around 50-60. shows how much better it can use system resources. | 10:02 |
| user_ | _2: s/hearly/heartly | 10:03 |
| bullgard4 | boshhead: Ah! Thank you for explaining. | 10:03 |
| _2 | UrsusTas yes it's the "updatedb" that takes for ever | 10:03 |
| _2 | user_ oh heh sorry. | 10:03 |
| ari_stress | hi hi, i'm back :) | 10:03 |
| user_ | _2: my mistake with the typo ;-) | 10:03 |
| _2 | user_ no i should have been able to see that, i just couldn't understand if you were advocating or denouncing | 10:04 |
| UrsusTas | _2: which is why I suggested find for a recent install, slocate should include a cron job that runs updatedb 1/day .. I use locate first (most of the time I search for a file it's older than a day) and if nothing run a find ;) but my find is aliased as i am lazy ;) | 10:05 |

| MarcoPau | hello, I can't mount the fat partitions as user, even thou I set gid=100 and umask=000 in /etc/fstab. do you have a hint? | 10:20 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | jedi06, do you have more than one drive? | 10:20 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | if so, try the other one? | 10:20 |
| |AR| | MarcoPau: add "user" to the options field in /etc/fstab file | 10:21 |
| jedi06 | nope only one drive | 10:21 |
| Yossarian | to no avail :( | 10:21 |
| jedi06 | maybe there is something wrong with the vista cd | 10:21 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | have you tried it before? | 10:21 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | cause if it's booting from linux it sounds like a vista cd problem, not an ubuntu problem | 10:22 |
| Quack[stinkpad] | ubuntu is doing what it's supposed to, just not the vista cd | 10:22 |
| koshar4 | jedi06 maybe the disc isnt bootable | 10:22 |

| davetarmac | Hi folks - is there a way that I can make Pidgin (2.5.2) dock on the side of the screen, only appearing when the cursor is over the area - much like Adium can in OS X? | 11:15 |
| Sergeant_Pony | is there a way to reinstall ubuntu 8.10 without losing all my setups? | 11:15 |
| etech | dayo_, i wish it would exist | 11:15 |
| ikonia | etech: this is ubuntu support - please keep on topic | 11:15 |
| user_ | dayo_: i would choose a local company which isnt too small so that you would fear seeing them go bankrupt within the next two years | 11:15 |
| nyaa | dblitz I would either check the driver from ubuntu under system > administration > hardware drivers, or if you don't want that one I would recommend installing the envy program from synaptic (it helps to install the right driver from NVIDIA.. does pretty well) | 11:15 |
| dblitz | nyaa: thats the problem.. I can't get into X | 11:16 |
| koshar4 | Sergeant_Pony you could use a partimage image | 11:16 |
| dayo_ | Sergeant_Pony: yes, by having a separate partition for /home, and not formatting that on reinstall | 11:16 |
| PC_Nerd | Your right, however I wanted to wipe windows and start again without having to reinstall ubuntu and all its packages again ( Ive got a HDD of downloads for installing initial programs/drivers on windows, I dont have a repository mirror for ubuntu) | 11:16 |
| dblitz | nyaa: After I rebooted I couldn't get into X | 11:16 |

| John_Ribbonstalk | Everything's screwed up like the resolution is wrong, but im not sure how to change it | 12:10 |
| gordonjcp | joerack: sounds like your repositories are broken somehow | 12:10 |
| joerack | binarymutant, synaptic | 12:10 |
| binarymutant | joerack, if mrwes is right, then that error makes sense sorry | 12:10 |
| momomo | jedi06: its ok to use the default of the installer. | 12:10 |

| joerack | do you guys advise ubuntu 8.10? I've had serious problems with it | 12:11 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | no, its since I installed them, and only a couple programs | 12:11 |

| jedi06 | well its putting it all on one ext3 partition shouldn't i have one for boot ext2 and so on | 12:12 |
| mrwes | joerack: I don't have any issues with 8.10 on my laptop | 12:12 |
| phorensic | jedi06: You just need 2 partitions min. one for / and one for swap space | 12:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bullgard4, there is no such manual as setlocale or at least not on my system | 12:12 |
| jedi06 | well why do ppl make the boot partition and so on | 12:13 |
| jedi06 | i will be dual booting btw | 12:13 |
| phorensic | jedi06: Of course you can mount home fold in different partition if u want too | 12:13 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | gordonjcp: I tried a couple other resolutions but nothing changed | 12:13 |
| phorensic | jedi06: what are you dual booting xp and ubuntu? | 12:13 |

| mrwes | jedi06: I would also research having a /home partition, that is if you always want fresh installs instead of upgrading. This will protect your /home files during a fresh install | 12:13 |

| G__81 | my windows FAT partitions alone dont get mounted properly automatically when i log in to Ubuntu. I use Ubuntu 8.10 how do i enable this to happen | 12:15 |
| G__81 | i tried adding it in fstab but it does not work | 12:15 |
| G__81 | i dont know whether what mistake i am making | 12:15 |
| G__81 | can someone help me | 12:15 |
| G__81 | on this | 12:15 |
| jedi06 | so I need a root, boot home and swap | 12:15 |
| phorensic | jedi06: what you should do is use the windows installer, set 3 partitions only format one with ntfs (for windows), and leave the other two untouched until windows is installed. Then once that is done install ubuntu in the given partitions and wallah-done | 12:15 |
| mrwes | jedi06: I would go with / /swap and /home | 12:16 |
| phorensic | jedi06: You don't have do /home but for reinstalls I can be a blessing | 12:16 |

| phorensic | jedi06: what is the problem.. i would really suggest windows first | 12:17 |
| bullgard4 | lyhana: Please install the DEB program package 'madwifi-tools' that Ubuntu provides. External sources should only be tapped in an emergency. | 12:17 |
| jedi06 | a blue screen of death | 12:17 |
| phorensic | when y ou install it it gives you blue screen? | 12:17 |
| jedi06 | I think there are protected partitions that windows can't touch and it fails | 12:17 |
| lyhana | bullgard4: ok | 12:17 |
| phorensic | jedi06: what you should do if you think that is the case is zero fill the drive first | 12:18 |

| jedi06 | not surre | 12:19 |
| jedi06 | dban? | 12:19 |
| momomo | lyhana: the new location is http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/ | 12:19 |

| lyhana | momomo: thx | 12:20 |
| phorensic | jedi06: There may be a way to do it with the liveCD? I think i recall someone saying you can use cat to output all zero's to the drive? | 12:20 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | jedi06: make a boot disk of dban, its a good thing to have anyway. | 12:21 |
| momomo | lyhana: please use ubuntu default package first, if they dont work, open up the hood | 12:21 |
| gordonjcp | John_Ribbonstalk: hmm, no idea | 12:21 |
| phorensic | jedi06: I have had drives i thought were toast.. i zero filled them, and they worked perfect for years after | 12:21 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | tons of options | 12:21 |
| phorensic | John_Ribbonstalk: what is dban again? just a disk utility? | 12:21 |
| lyhana | momomo: yep | 12:21 |
| phorensic | John_Ribbonstalk: Oh i just read ^^ sounds like its got some features | 12:22 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | phorensic: its a disk wiping utility. I think its on the Ultimate Boot CD, but the full version is better | 12:22 |

| gordonjcp | not unless they're extremely old | 12:25 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | you do if your hiding something | 12:25 |
| gordonjcp | John_Ribbonstalk: depends, do you want to make it clear that you're hiding something? | 12:25 |
| aleix | does anyone know why I can't access hosts names *.local. is there any config that forbids the use of "local" in the domain? | 12:25 |

| jedi06 | how do i find out what kind of harddrive i have or if there is any bad sectors? | 12:26 |
| phorensic | jedi06: may run chkdsk?? | 12:26 |
| gordonjcp | John_Ribbonstalk: on any disk made in the past five years, and most in the past ten years, a single pass overwriting all sectors will zap any data beyond the possibility of recovery | 12:26 |

| gordonjcp | jedi06: if you've got bad sectors, typically you'll see a lot of errors in dmesg | 12:26 |
| gordonjcp | jedi06: you'll also hear the drive clicking a lot | 12:27 |

| jedi06 | how do i find out what kind of disk i have? | 12:32 |
| Rabbitbunny | phorensic: it's not that that method will render the data unreadable, it's that the method will make it unreadable to most people. The FBI has the manufacturer helping them. Build a small forge for actual security. | 12:32 |

| dns53 | Samma3l you want to use wireless to install off? | 12:35 |
| Rabbitbunny | dns53: He needs to add the cd to his sources. | 12:35 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 12:38 |
| bullgard4 | Pirate_Hunter: (I hope we are speaking about Ubuntu version 8.04 or higher.) I am surprised that Synaptic does not offer you this package for download. In that case please check your repositories list. | 12:39 |
| gordonjcp | uni4dfx: it's limited by how fast your network is | 12:39 |
| uni4dfx | how fast is is on a 100mbit network | 12:39 |
| johan12 | tried both totem and vlc, is wine better? | 12:39 |

| uni4dfx | jeez, so noone knows how fast samba is supposed to be? wow | 12:41 |
| Rabbitbunny | uni4dfx: Slow. it works with Windows. | 12:42 |
| ShereKahn | samba is not supposed to be fast ... | 12:42 |
| johan12 | momomo: so i should stick with totem? to bad it screwed my color when resetting them in settings :'( | 12:42 |
| uni4dfx | cuz when i used slackware it was around 10MB/s ... with ubuntu it's around 3.5MB/s | 12:42 |
| bullgard4 | Pirate_Hunter: Please explain the abbreviation 'nvm'. Does it stand for 'never mind'? | 12:42 |
| Rabbitbunny | bullgard4: Yes. | 12:42 |
| Samma3l | sweet im online again | 12:43 |
| momomo | johan12: so for your case totem is not an option, so totem is not "better". does it also happen with vlc? | 12:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bullgard4, you got it sorry wont use it again | 12:43 |
| gordonjcp | uni4dfx: is everything else exactly the same? | 12:43 |
| uni4dfx | scp is a bit faster i think | 12:43 |
| gordonjcp | uni4dfx: no, I mean, have you changed anything in your network apart from installing Ubuntu on a machine that previously had Slackware? | 12:44 |
| uni4dfx | well, yeah... i went from P3 500MHz to Duron 900MHz | 12:44 |

| dimitris | Quick question. How can I disable x temporarily to install the nvidia driver? CTRL+ALT+F1 just shows me power info instead of a terminal. | 13:01 |
| momomo | upd, miha checked :-) | 13:02 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | binarymutant: yeah, it was the effect. How do I enable dragging windows between desktops though? That was actually usefull. | 13:02 |
| upd | miha: thanks i will restart pc now | 13:02 |
| miha | dimitris: 'sudo killall -9 gdm' to stop respawning login... ctrl+backspace in X kills it, then just 'sudo gdm' | 13:02 |
| miha | upd: n | 13:02 |
| miha | upd: just | 13:02 |
| miha | upd: /etc/init.d/cups restart | 13:02 |

| binarymutant | John_Ribbonstalk, you can also right click the window and it's under "Move to another workspace", if the other method doesn't work | 13:03 |
| miha | upd: so it's executable? | 13:03 |
| Rabbitbunny | diakhal_: You're missing some words there. | 13:03 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | binarymutant: I know, but I like dragging | 13:04 |
| upd | miha: i forget chmod, it is restarted cups now | 13:04 |
| diakhal_ | i have problem to delete completely some files even if i use synaptic.need help | 13:04 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | hmm | 13:04 |
| binarymutant | John_Ribbonstalk, you can always get a better video card to run both compiz and videos, what driver are you using for the video card? | 13:04 |
| miha | upd: try localhost:631, that's cups admin | 13:04 |

| Wunderbar | minor issue with gnome do over here | 13:06 |
| Wunderbar | who's listening?? | 13:06 |
| Rabbitbunny | Wunderbar: Don't ask to ask. | 13:06 |
| binarymutant | Wunderbar, I'm listening | 13:06 |
| Superritchman | I search server | 13:06 |
| Wunderbar | :( | 13:06 |
| zagabar | Yo. | 13:06 |
| binarymutant | sup | 13:06 |
| Wunderbar | it shuts off randomly | 13:06 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | binarymutant: ATI Radeon proprietary drivers, its a laptop so there isnt much room to upgrade | 13:06 |
| Wunderbar | when its working its great | 13:07 |
| zagabar | I downloaded super maryo chronicles. It was a tar.gz so I unzipped it. What shoul I do next? There are some random files. :S | 13:07 |
| binarymutant | John_Ribbonstalk, onboard video probably isn't that great sorry :( | 13:07 |
| zagabar | install-sh is among the, | 13:07 |
| Wunderbar | but i've gotten use to using it | 13:07 |
| Rabbitbunny | Wunderbar: Read your system log and find out why it dies. | 13:07 |
| * miha now knows why people use nvidia.. so that composite extension works with direct rendering. ati doesnt do that, but rendering is fasteR:) | 13:07 | |
| binarymutant | Wunderbar, your computer shuts off? | 13:07 |
| Wunderbar | no, just gnome do | 13:07 |
| Superritchman | Where I must go, when I want playing? | 13:07 |
| Wunderbar | but it's essentially the means by which i navigate | 13:07 |
| momomo | zagabar: ls -al | pastebin | 13:07 |
| momomo | zagabar: ls -al | pastebinit | 13:08 |
| zagabar | But when I try to run install-sh, it tells me that no input file is specified. | 13:08 |
| zagabar | Okay. | 13:08 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | binarymutant: yeah I know. I think someone showed me how to enable effect individually once... | 13:08 |
| binarymutant | Wunderbar, run it from the terminal and pastebin any errors | 13:08 |

| binarymutant | John_Ribbonstalk, you might be able to do the edge flips without compiz, but I don't know how :/ | 13:09 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | binarymutant: Community Climate System Model? | 13:10 |
| momomo | !compile | zagabar | 13:10 |
| ubottu | zagabar: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 13:10 |
| binarymutant | John_Ribbonstalk, Compiz Config System Manager | 13:10 |
| binarymutant | John_Ribbonstalk, but the program is called ccsm | 13:10 |
| nyaa | you can install the compiz fusion icon from add/remove applications to bring that up too | 13:10 |
| John_Ribbonstalk | binarymutant: oh yeah | 13:10 |
| Wunderbar | system log?/ | 13:12 |
| Wunderbar | no option for that in system tools | 13:13 |
| binarymutant | Wunderbar, run it from a terminal and pastebin all the output | 13:13 |
| zagabar | It looked cumbersome to compile it, I have never done that. =( | 13:13 |
| zagabar | Are there some download here that doesn't require that? | 13:13 |

| Wunderbar | looked in /var/log | 13:13 |
| Wunderbar | couldn't find it | 13:13 |
| Rabbitbunny | binarymutant: He said it 'randomly' dies, which I'm going to assume means it could take hours. | 13:13 |
| binarymutant | zagabar, thats a fun game :) | 13:13 |
| binarymutant | Rabbitbunny, take hours to run from a terminal? | 13:14 |
| Rabbitbunny | binarymutant: Take hours to die. | 13:14 |
| zagabar | binarymutant: Nice, but do I have to compile it to install it? | 13:14 |
| momomo | zagabar: you see the ubuntu logo on the webpage? ;-) | 13:15 |

| Mahmud | i been struggling for at least 2-3 days trying to install ubuntustudio | 13:18 |
| Mahmud | i havent got a cd rom which works | 13:18 |
| binarymutant | s0101_, go to Places->Connect to Server and change the service type to ssh, fill it in with your own details. Might be easier than the terminal for you | 13:18 |
| Mahmud | and have been trying to install it via the usb | 13:18 |
| Rabbitbunny | Mahmud: have you though of checking the md5sum? | 13:18 |
| s0101_ | when i go to system-settings-remote and check the name it says vinagre admin:0 | 13:18 |
| Mahmud | but whichever version i take it always fails after selecting keyboard | 13:18 |
| Mahmud | and asks to mount cd rom | 13:19 |
| Mahmud | and cannot | 13:19 |
| binarymutant | s0101_, go to Places->Connect to Server and change the service type to ssh, fill it in with your own details. Might be easier than the terminal for you | 13:19 |
| Mahmud | and doesnt let the install continue.. | 13:19 |
| silv3r_m00n | ok got it its nvidia-settings | 13:19 |
| s0101_ | which ip should i put in ? | 13:19 |
| Mahmud | well, i have now downloaded, ubuntustudio 8.04, 8.10 and ubuntu jaunty thingie.. | 13:19 |
| Rabbitbunny | Mahmud: Stop using the enter key as puncuation. Check the md5sum of the file you downloaded. | 13:19 |
| binarymutant | s0101_, the remotes IP | 13:20 |
| Rabbitbunny | silv3r_m00n: Thanks for letting us know. | 13:20 |

| trancefat | Hi all, sometimes when i rollover on the maximize, close or minimize button of a window on the top right, the title bar flickers and the colors get garbled. How should i fix this? | 13:22 |
| binarymutant | s0101_, from the remote server not from the client | 13:22 |
| Rabbitbunny | clarks: It's extremely rude to pm people without asking. | 13:23 |
| s0101_ | http://pastebin.com/m76a7c81c | 13:23 |
| clarks | Rabbitbunny, sorry | 13:23 |
| binarymutant | s0101_, are you using the "Connect to Server" from the menu or are you still trying to use the ssh from the terminal? | 13:24 |
| binarymutant | s0101_, ssh -u <username>192.168.0.166 | 13:24 |
| binarymutant | s0101_, ssh -u <username> 192.168.0.166 srry | 13:24 |
| Rabbitbunny | clarks: asto how to tell if your ubuntu is hacks, That's going to depend on your particular security routine. A large indicator would be a process like 'SPAM_THEM_ALL' or some other dubious name taking up 93% of your CPU. | 13:25 |
| oCean_ | ssh -u ?? | 13:25 |
| s0101_ | and the user name must be vinagre admin:0 | 13:25 |
| binarymutant | my bad | 13:25 |
| clarks | Rabbitbunny, how to check it? | 13:25 |
| elatio | could anyone tell me a good site for gnome themes? | 13:25 |
| Rabbitbunny | clarks: No idea. | 13:25 |
| binarymutant | s0101_, ssh <user>@192.168.0.166 | 13:25 |
| e-frame | elatio: gnome-look.org | 13:26 |
| elatio | thank you | 13:26 |
| e-frame | :) | 13:26 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: what is it that you want to do? | 13:26 |
| Daremonai | how can i make it so that when i delete something from ftp (I use proftpd as my ftp server), the stuff goes to trash instead of permanently deleted? | 13:26 |
| Rabbitbunny | Daremonai: Create a folder called 'ftp_trash' and move stuff there when you're thinking about deleting it. | 13:27 |
| s0101_ | setup a remote connection to a computer that is connected to my dlink router | 13:27 |
| Wolv3 | #ubuntu-es | 13:28 |
| Wolv3 | sry | 13:28 |
| elatio | e-frame, which category would i use to find general shell themes? (e.g; human, clearlooks) | 13:28 |
| Daremonai | Rabbitbunny.. it's more for deleting by mistake... I just selected all my mounted hard drives and clicked delete, when i was trying to delete the download queue... I lost some important chunks of information.. I need to prevent that from happening again. | 13:28 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: I see, but ssh and vnc are different options to do so | 13:28 |
| Rabbitbunny | Daremonai: man chmod. | 13:28 |
| s0101_ | which one is the easyest? | 13:28 |
| bob123 | is there a chance of Unbut supporting the Asus N10 J at somepoint? | 13:29 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: if you don't have the need to use graphical environment, just use ssh. That will 'breng' you to the other machine on commandline | 13:29 |
| Daremonai | Rabbitbunny... mmm... yeah, that would mean I won't be able to delete anything anymore.. ;) | 13:29 |
| s0101_ | i would like to use the grapchic | 13:29 |
| schipilliti | salve | 13:29 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: if you do want to connect graphically, you'll have to setup vnc and/or xdmcp | 13:29 |
| bob123 | Someone made a guide, but wondering if it'll ever be officially supported: http://www.linlap.com/wiki/asus+n10j | 13:30 |
| Rabbitbunny | Daremonai: Yeah, that's the thing about the power linux gives you, responsibility ;) Don't worry, I deleted over a years CAD work in one night of drunken installs | 13:30 |
| e-frame | elatio: go find metacity, or gtk, or else depends on your system | 13:30 |
| s0101_ | I tried to use vnc that comes with ubuntu 8.10 but it says connection closed when i try to connect | 13:30 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: vnc requires a vnc server (not a client, which vinagre is) | 13:30 |
| s0101_ | do i need to download vnc on both places? | 13:31 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: but you cannot mixup the ssh and vnc thing. | 13:31 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: download/install vnc4server on the machine you want to connect to | 13:31 |
| Daremonai | Rabbitbunny, haha :) I've deleted GBs of stuff, and I live with a 128kbps connection... imagine that :P - redownloading was a pain! - but the things i deleted today were files I submitted in a competition... and some files for uni! so that ain't nice (and can't be re-downloaded) | 13:31 |
| Rabbitbunny | Daremonai: Ouch. | 13:32 |
| e-frame | :D | 13:32 |
| Daremonai | Rabbitbunny, yeah.. :) hehe! | 13:32 |
| e-frame | good luck then :p | 13:32 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: on *that* machine start the vncserver on a display of your choice (not 0) like "vnc4server :1", it'll ask you to enter/create a password | 13:32 |
| unop | oCean_, you can run VNC over SSH, sure | 13:32 |
| oCean_ | unop: yes i know, but I don't think that's what he wants/needs.. at this point | 13:32 |
| s0101_ | and on my machine? | 13:33 |
| Rabbitbunny | I concur. | 13:33 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: the vnc4client | 13:33 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: however default in applications > internet is option "remote desktop viewer" which also will do | 13:33 |
| s0101_ | Thats the one i tried | 13:33 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: but at that point, there was no vncSERVER running at the other machine, right? | 13:34 |
| s0101_ | and thats the first question i had how to set it up correct on both sides with my dl604 | 13:34 |
| s0101_ | no | 13:34 |
| s0101_ | but it have remote desktop viewe | 13:34 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: ok. So install the vnc4server, vnc4client, and you're ready to go | 13:34 |
| elatio | How do I install GTK themes on ubuntu? | 13:35 |
| s0101_ | on both sides? | 13:35 |
| oCean_ | s0101_: client on 1 site, server on the machine you want to connect to | 13:35 |
| worre | how to mount .iso | 13:35 |
| worre | ? | 13:35 |
| oCean_ | mount -o loop name.iso /mountpoint | 13:35 |
| s0101_ | ok | 13:36 |
| worre | ok | 13:36 |
| e-frame | elatio: go to system, preferences, appearrance | 13:36 |
| e-frame | elatio: choose install, done. | 13:36 |
| s0101_ | thanks i will try this | 13:37 |
| binarymutant | why does answering questions in launchpad give more karma than doing bugs? | 13:37 |
| Rabbitbunny | people like to hear words. | 13:38 |
| binarymutant | :) bugs are more important though | 13:38 |
| Rabbitbunny | users are important, people will fix bugs without karma, but most the time I can't be bothered to answer questions. | 13:39 |

| ubottu | Pontiac: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 13:50 |
| momomo | !ubotu > Rabbitbunny | 13:51 |
| ubottu | Rabbitbunny, please see my private message | 13:51 |
| Pontiac | heh | 13:51 |
| Rabbitbunny | momo ? | 13:51 |
| Pontiac | Ok, can anyone explain to my why after I get dancer-services connected to dancer-ircd, I can get a response from nickserv, memoserv, and operserv, but nothing from Chanserv? | 13:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | latit Are you still here | 13:51 |
| momomo | Rabbitbunny: !uboto calls a text template bot | 13:52 |
| latit | Jack_Sparrow, YES | 13:52 |

| latit | Jack_Sparrow, sry icannot even get a shell so he\ow to do commands | 13:53 |
| Rabbitbunny | momomo: Yeah, I run a supybot myself. I'm just wondering why you'd introduce me to him. | 13:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | latit You dont need to type all of that, just past it into a term | 13:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | latit livecd or ctrl-alt-F1 | 13:53 |
| momomo | Rabbitbunny: sorry, i thought you didnt know as you responded to Jack_Sparrow "i hope you didnt type that whiole thing out" | 13:54 |
| latit | Jack_Sparrow, ok | 13:54 |
| Pontiac | As per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dancer-IRCD?action=show, it says that if I get a reply from nickserv after sending /msg nickserv register, and receiving a reply, I should be good with chanserv, memoserv, etc. But I'm getting zilch from chanserv. | 13:54 |
| Rabbitbunny | momomo: Ah, nah, you're good. Jack_Sparrow pasted ;) | 13:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | latit Sorry, I assumed someone that triple booted with two nix's would know that | 13:54 |

| ikonia | G__81: you don't need to build it | 14:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | G__81 Understood, thanks for reading it | 14:00 |

| Rabbitbunny | Then you really have no excuse. | 14:01 |
| ikonia | G__81: dependeny tracking works the same | 14:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | G__81 We will try to be gentle with you | 14:01 |
| G__81 | ikonia, it is | 14:01 |
| G__81 | i am struggling hard with the names as such | 14:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !build-essentials | 14:01 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 14:01 |
| momomo | G__81: try libcap-dev or libcap2-dev | 14:01 |
| G__81 | Jack_Sparrow, i ve installed build-essentials | 14:02 |
| frog_ | hi, when i wanna add a module to my kernwl, should i compile the kernel on my own? or is there any trick to do it in any other way? | 14:02 |
| therootest | hello. | 14:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | G__81 Just checking | 14:02 |
| G__81 | yeah sure :) | 14:02 |
| ikonia | frog_: depends on how the module works and what is needed | 14:02 |
| momomo | G__81: try libcap-dev or libcap2-dev (you read me?) | 14:02 |
| ikonia | frog_: what module do you want to add ? | 14:02 |
| therootest | can someone please tell me what package do i need to install java in kubuntu, so that i can play java games in firefox? | 14:02 |
| ikonia | !java > therootest | 14:02 |
| ubottu | therootest, please see my private message | 14:02 |
| G__81 | Jack_Sparrow, I installed 8.10 and very impressed with it | 14:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !java | 14:02 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 14:02 |
| G__81 | momomo, yeah i am installing it | 14:02 |
| frog_ | ikonia ipt_owner | 14:03 |
| th3_b0b | hi there! how can I query apt for a list of MANUALLY installed packages? I know "dpkg -l" lists them all, but I don't need the depencies, only those i manually did an "apt-get install PACKAGENAME" for. Any ideas? | 14:03 |
| G__81 | yeah thanks | 14:03 |
| G__81 | it works | 14:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone > th3_b0b | 14:03 |
| ubottu | th3_b0b, please see my private message | 14:03 |
| ikonia | frog_: is that an internal or 3rd party module | 14:03 |
| fxhp | G_81, you should look into pfsense running on its own box. | 14:03 |
| ikonia | frog_: I don't recognise the name | 14:03 |
| G__81 | have some questions in fedora all source packages are named package-devel and how is it in Ubuntu | 14:03 |
| Rabbitbunny | !clone > Rabbitbunny | 14:03 |
| ubottu | Rabbitbunny, please see my private message | 14:03 |
| thewonderbear | #server irc.irchighway.net | 14:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !bot > Rabbitbunny | 14:03 |
| momomo | G__81: basically the same ;-) | 14:03 |
| frog_ | ikonia: should be internal... it's for iptables to be able to track the pid, that has generated the packet | 14:04 |
| th3_b0b | ubottu: ah, thx :) | 14:04 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ah, thx :) | 14:04 |
| momomo | G__81: dev instead of devel | 14:04 |
| G__81 | momomo, i searched for kernel-devel but couldnt find it | 14:04 |
| ikonia | frog_: what version of the kernel is it in | 14:04 |
| Rabbitbunny | Jack_Sparrow: ... I know what the bot is... I just figured that would be interesting info to have. | 14:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rabbitbunny I was just trying to show you how to /msg ubottu yourquerry | 14:05 |
| frog_ | i wanted 2.6.27 | 14:05 |
| binarymutant | G__81, are you still trying to find the kernel source? linux-source-2.6.29 | 14:05 |
| ikonia | frog_: is that module in .27 ? | 14:05 |
| momomo | G__81: i usually use apt-cache search kernel | grep narrow further | 14:05 |
| ikonia | frog_: the reason I ask is the module may already exist but have channed names in different versions, iptables modules have changed in the past | 14:05 |
| G__81 | binarymutant, no installed it | 14:05 |
| binarymutant | G__81, why not get the source from kernel.org | 14:06 |
| G__81 | i then had this question coz i thought it was devel but then the word source surprised me | 14:06 |
| momomo | binarymutant: because ubuntu uses a patched kernel? | 14:06 |
| G__81 | i was just curious to see how to install it from apt | 14:06 |
| binarymutant | momomo, well linux-source-2.6.29 is the source | 14:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | G__81 I think if you have the src enabled in the sources.list it will pull in the source for all packages you install | 14:07 |
| G__81 | oh | 14:07 |
| G__81 | thats nice | 14:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | G__81 If you dont want source, rem out the repos | 14:07 |
| G__81 | is ubuntu targeted only towards end users and not developers? | 14:08 |
| momomo | mainly, but not only | 14:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | G__81 We dont discriminate.. | 14:08 |
| miha | G__81: developers are the nasty users of everything not their own | 14:09 |
| miha | G__81: they complain:) | 14:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | G__81 with our base server and base desktop installs a dev can shape them into whatever they need | 14:09 |
| G__81 | is ubuntu used by kernel developers ? | 14:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | G__81 It isnt like they ever leave anything the way they get it | 14:09 |
| G__81 | i guess Dave Miller uses it the person who ported Ubuntu to Sparc | 14:10 |
| unanxbt | How can i install fonts? | 14:10 |
| therootest | i have java installed but firefox doesnt play java games. | 14:10 |
| therootest | can please anyone help me? | 14:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | G__81 we have the #Uubntu-offtopic and -chat channels for discussions. THis place will get busy soon and we then clamp down on the borderline conversations.. | 14:11 |
| momomo | G__81: i would think that kernel developers dont care much about which distro they use since they work under the hood anyway | 14:11 |
| unanxbt | therootest, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all | 14:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | therootest Did you do the click to install inside firefox or did you use our tutorial | 14:11 |
| therootest | Jack_Sparrow: not inside firefox. | 14:11 |
| G__81 | Ubuntu is so light thats really impressed me when compared to Fedora | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | if i have a running app and I ssh over with X forwarding, Can I make the app appear on the forwarded x server without having to kill then rerun the app? | 14:12 |
| fxhp | G_81, yeah it seems pretty clean too | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | G__81: install fluxbox or xfce, its even lighter | 14:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | G__81 xubuntu is even lighter | 14:12 |
| binarymutant | G__81, dwm is the lightest :P | 14:12 |
| therootest | thanks! | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | binarymutant: no x server is lighter still | 14:13 |
| G__81 | and one question its not with respect to Ubuntu as such. Why is that rpms are quite heavy i mean in terms of file size | 14:13 |
| phorensic | binarymutant: dwm? ligher than a minimal lfs install? DSL? | 14:13 |
| fxhp | I dislike xfce, and my benchmarks are about the same with gnome | 14:13 |
| G__81 | and deb files very light in terms of file size | 14:13 |
| binarymutant | phorensic, only 2000 lines of code at like 2k | 14:13 |
| unanxbt | How can I install fonts? | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | G__81: extract the files from both and examine is all i can suggest | 14:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | G__81 I never pulled apart an rpm so I cant see why they would be bigger for the same pavkage | 14:13 |

| Jack_Sparrow | unanxbt you are aware that ~/ means /home/$USER right | 14:16 |
| quibbler | unanxbt: it is a hidden directory | 14:16 |
| unanxbt | Jack_Sparrow, yes | 14:16 |
| unanxbt | quibbler, i know | 14:16 |
| b52ub_ | any svn user ? | 14:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | unanxbt and that you show a comma that should be a period for hidden | 14:16 |
| |AR| | b52ub_: ya | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | therootest: no need to reboot: try: sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin | 14:17 |

| Jack_Sparrow | np | 14:17 |
| therootest | couldnt find packet icedtea6 :) | 14:17 |
| therootest | i am on kubuntu 8.0.4, by the way. | 14:18 |
| Photoguy | I'm having trouble with Limewire, it doesn't start up, it just gets stuck on the splash screen. | 14:18 |
| unanxbt | therootest, why dont you try my solution? | 14:18 |
| b52ub_ | |AR|, i trouble when configuring the dav with apache , i have configure dave_svn.conf but i don't have the tool /etc/apche_dav.svn.passwd | 14:18 |
| Aison | ActionParsnip, well, here icedtea6 is not working. The java is now recogniced by the browser, but when the plugin should load, it just hangs | 14:18 |
| therootest | unanxbt: what is your solution? | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Aison: are you restarting your browser each time? | 14:19 |
| b52ub_ | |AR|, i mean /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd :d | 14:19 |
| tuxina | ICH BIN KEIN NEWSER | 14:19 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !de > tuxina | 14:19 |
| ubottu | tuxina, please see my private message | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Aison: no, i mean you have to close the web browser in entirety to reload the plugins | 14:19 |
| unanxbt | therootest, in firefox, type this; about:plugins | 14:19 |
| therootest | unanxbt: is this different for kubuntu 8.0.4? | 14:19 |
| unanxbt | therootest, and check whether it tells about java | 14:20 |
| ikonia | frog_: I wouldn't make that assumtpion | 14:20 |
| Aison | ActionParsnip, the browser allways hangs, when the java applet is loaded, so I have to close it (sometimes even to kill it) | 14:20 |
| unanxbt | therootest, no, for 8.04 the commands will be same | 14:20 |
| ikonia | frog_: lots changed between 2.4 and 2.6 | 14:20 |
| |AR| | b52ub_: did you try htpasswd2 -c /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd ? | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Aison: hmm, sounds like a conflict of plugins | 14:20 |
| therootest | unanxbt: i went to firefox and there seems to be many flash plugins | 14:20 |

| Jack_Sparrow | therootest one of your other plugins could also be your problem | 14:21 |
| therootest | Jack_Sparrow: how can i know? | 14:21 |
| unanxbt | therootest, check under section "ava(TM) Plug-in" | 14:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | therootest turn them off. Not all plugins play nice | 14:22 |
| b52ub_ | |AR|, oups it pass thanks :D | 14:22 |
| unanxbt | therootest, oh sorry, its "java(TM) Plug-in" | 14:22 |
| therootest | ehm... the compiz fusion thing collapses all the time and the java is not working.... | 14:22 |
| |AR| | b52ub_: :) | 14:22 |
| therootest | ...maybe its time to have a fresh new install of kubuntu. | 14:22 |

| norpan_ | ko i dont want text, i want splash and if i want text sometime i press esc | 15:12 |
| norpan_ | koert, you know how to fix this? | 15:13 |
| Mpole | question no. 1) i recently upgraded to 8.10. i found out today that i cant open the GNOME network dialogue to make modifications (unlock) my network settings, from dynamic to static, and vice versa. i had to make the settings via the terminal, editing the interfaces and resolv.conf files. what happened? | 15:13 |
| momomo | sharperguy: hmm, cat /etc/pbuilderrc | pastebinit (sudo aptitude install pastebinit) | 15:13 |
| rakudave | mroc: ah... there are known problems with on-board raid controlles, as they require a special driver which is normaly only available for window$ | 15:13 |
| sharperguy | momomo, cat /etc/pbuilderrc | pastebinit | 15:14 |
| mroc | rakudave: ok. so is this something that can be done, or am i looking at an impossible or extremely complicated task? | 15:14 |
| sharperguy | momomo, http://pastebin.com/fdef8644 - copy/paste fail | 15:14 |
| sharperguy | momomo, lol that makes it obvous | 15:14 |
| Mpole | can anyone help? | 15:15 |
| momomo | sharperguy: yeah, you got it ;-) | 15:15 |
| norpan_ | is there anyone that know a solution for this problem? | 15:15 |
| rakudave | mroc: i can't think of a way of doing it... you might have to install another hd | 15:15 |
| mroc | rakudave: that would be challenging....it's a laptop. | 15:15 |
| ljuwaidah | hi | 15:15 |
| linuxman410 | norpan check out this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=77694 it will show you how to change splash screen | 15:15 |

| ljuwaidah | where can I find a feature list of 9.04? | 15:16 |
| rakudave | mroc: ah shoot... well, you might use wubi to create a virtual drive within windows... that _might_ work | 15:16 |
| norpan_ | thnx | 15:16 |
| sharperguy | momomo, of course changing it to archive.ubuntu.com has still had no effect | 15:16 |

| Goethhe | Why does VSFTPD adds a user called ftp to my system? | 15:26 |
| sharperguy | momomo, I think "pbuilder --update" might be helping - even if its still looking at datahpo for some reason - but it is getting new sources | 15:27 |
| Led_Zeppelin | How do I change my default runlevel? I don't want my system to boot up into GDM. I want a simple cli where I can just do a 'startx' | 15:27 |
| shally87 | hi.. | 15:27 |
| gbrethen | http://paste.ubuntu.com/112460/ | 15:27 |
| unop | Goethhe, because the ftpd needs to run as a user .. and you don't want that user to be an already existing user - you could compromise files that way | 15:27 |
| momomo | Goethhe: if an attacker gets unwanted control over the ftp-server he will be limited by ftp permissions, which are very narrow | 15:27 |
| shally87 | i would like to ask does ubuntu 8.10 o=effect y ethernet? | 15:27 |

| kolby | Led_Zeppelin: look for the file that runs when it starts up. Edit that one. | 15:29 |

| Goethhe | unop & momomo: If I disabled anonymous login in VSFTPD , can i remove the ftp user from my system? | 15:29 |
| unop | armornick, depends if you wish to install any other packages in the process | 15:29 |
| Mpole | can anyone tell me why, since the upgrade from 8.04 t0 8.10, my network settings control panel wont come up? | 15:29 |
| sharperguy | momomo, It also seems to want to do everything in terms of jaunty for some reason - which could be a problem | 15:30 |
| Led_Zeppelin | kolby, which file? | 15:30 |
| unop | Goethhe, no, vsftpd won't be able to run then ... as i said, vsftpd needs to run as a particular user | 15:30 |
| armornick | for a commandline install, does ubuntu needs to download files during the install? | 15:30 |
| gmathews | Hi I am trying to delete my old linux image after an update bu it is not there in adept after looking for 'linux-image' | 15:31 |
| unop | armornick, no .. but it depends on what you want the system to do .. a barebones install isn't very useful | 15:31 |
| momomo | sharperguy: man-page mentions --distribution. just check it out ;-) | 15:31 |
| sharperguy | a | 15:31 |
| sharperguy | momomo, yeah I was thinking that | 15:31 |
| danteianthe | i installed ubuntu through windows using Wubi, and when i boot up my computer it gives me the list of OS's but when i hit Ubuntu i get "error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist" and i can't get farther than that. windows works fine though... | 15:31 |
| rakudave | armornick: no, but it is advisable, as it will download the lates language packs and updates | 15:31 |
| armornick | I have pppoe and so I need to set that up before I can use apt-get | 15:32 |
| armornick | and I want the minimal install because I need *control* | 15:32 |
| rakudave | armornick: it will work without a connection, you can update later | 15:32 |

| rakudave | danteianthe: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 15:36 |
| Led_Zeppelin | kolby, I just don't like GUIs, thats all. | 15:36 |
| armornick | betterhands, online software would be ideal, because you can access it from any computer | 15:36 |
| Led_Zeppelin | perhaps I should go back to Debian ;-) | 15:36 |
| lanoxx- | danteianthe, sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst | 15:36 |
| Wunderbar | is the person who recommended fluxbox still here? | 15:36 |
| Led_Zeppelin | but the problem with that is, I don't know how to setup wirless access via CLI. I need a GUI | 15:37 |
| betterhands | thanks for the advice armornick | 15:37 |
| kolby | Led_Zeppelin: I see. Well, I prefer to get the X-server running so I can use a bigger terminal | 15:37 |

| nikonadict | hey I have a question about ubuntu server.. I am running the latest version and everything, and I was wondering if I could have two seperate opearting systems operating at the same time in the same computer... For instance, I have a regular server set up - http, samba, that stuff.. but I wanted to have a seperate instilation of Ubuntu desktop edition that I could connect to thruogh VNC for regular use.. I wanted them both running at the same time... doe | 15:54 |
| nikonadict | about how I should approach this.. | 15:54 |
| mrwes | garyd: who owns that directory? root or you? | 15:54 |

| mrwes | garyd: and you're trying to share it as a user? | 15:55 |
| Dr_willis_ | nikonadict, why do you need 2? you can have several dozen+ vnc sessions started | 15:55 |
| garyd | my user is an admin | 15:55 |
| Soooooa | what is inetd? the package does not seem to exist. The proftpd install advised me that was the best option. Though it is not on my system and apt cant find it | 15:55 |

| s0101 | I am trying to connect to a comp on my router and get this Avahi resolver failure: Timeout reached | 15:56 |
| Dr_willis_ | Soooooa, its a service thing to launch servioces as needed. xinetd has replaced it for the most part | 15:56 |

| psicobra | comand not found | 15:56 |
| Soooooa | Yeah the proftpd install said inetd was better than xinetd unless you are going to run a busy FTP server. So I chose inetd | 15:56 |
| ari_stre1s | psicobra: really? i have it in 8.10 | 15:57 |

| gbrethen | next question: why do I not get a menu when I right click on the desktop? | 15:58 |
| Soooooa | I will reinstll proftpd now that i actually have xinetd installed. It seems to be a dependancy as the server cant be started without it. | 15:58 |
| Lucifer_Cat | what are you using for remoting? | 15:58 |
| s0101 | I have configured firestarter on both sides to be open for port 5900 | 15:58 |

| Dr_willis_ | nikonadict, you can still in stall vnc4server and have a vnc session/remote desktp if you wanted | 16:01 |
| s0101 | maybe if i change the computers back to port 8080 and setup firestarter for them? | 16:01 |
| nikonadict | Dr_willis_ : how would I go about doing that | 16:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | nikonadict, install vnc4server.. run it...connect.. :) | 16:02 |

| gbrethen | why do I not get a menu when I right click on my desktop? | 16:08 |

| Lucifer_Cat | ideas | 16:08 |
| Dr_willis_ | unanxbt, it could be its a device that runs gnome/linux | 16:08 |

| satans | anyone here use fluxbox? | 16:10 |
| storbeck | satans: Yes | 16:10 |
| satans | what's your favorite desktop environment? | 16:10 |
| satans | and why | 16:10 |
| multipass | xfce for speed. | 16:10 |
| storbeck | xfce and fluxbox, for speed and looks | 16:11 |
| Lucifer_Cat | multipass: is fluxbox speedier than xfce? | 16:11 |
| Dr_willis_ | fluxbox = windows manager... xfce = desktop env. | 16:11 |
| Dr_willis_ | :) | 16:11 |
| Lucifer_Cat | satans: im using fluxbox. but i've been using it only for a day. | 16:11 |
| storbeck | I would assume fluxbox is faster, xfce is a nice balance between fluxbox and gnome | 16:12 |
| Lucifer_Cat | Dr_willis_: ahh. im still a noob :P | 16:12 |
| dancebaby | anyone here use smplayer? | 16:12 |
| LukaszJ | dancebaby: Yes, I do. | 16:12 |
| Dillizar | it was sudo apt-get and the name of the package ? | 16:12 |
| satans | how are you finding the fluxbox environment? | 16:12 |
| storbeck | satans: What do you mean? | 16:12 |
| satans | what have u found the advantages to be | 16:13 |
| storbeck | It's fast. | 16:13 |
| s0101 | why do i get a time out when i try to connect? | 16:13 |
| dancebaby | why it stop when play for several time? | 16:13 |
| hareldvd | satans: Also have experience with both fluxbox and xfce. xfce is reacher and easyer to configure and maintain. | 16:14 |
| j-b-r | Ok. So I've been trying to get an old nvidia card working in 8.10 for about a week now, and I only just found out that 8.10 dropped support for all the 71 and 96 cards! | 16:14 |
| j-b-r | Is that really true? | 16:14 |
| LukaszJ | satans: I had a chance to play a bit around, it's fast, lightweight. Other thing is how much do you want it to be user-friendy, as not everybody is used to set settings adding new entries to scripts. | 16:14 |
| j-b-r | Do I have to reinstall 8.04? | 16:14 |
| miha | xfce looks kinda good. rest of 'performance' UI managers luck horrible | 16:14 |
| LukaszJ | dancebaby: Mean it hangs? | 16:14 |
| miha | look | 16:14 |
| miha | not luck :) | 16:14 |
| dancebaby | ye | 16:14 |
| satans | thats what i found, its especially user friendly | 16:14 |
| satans | at least from first impressions | 16:14 |
| j-b-r | I love xfce | 16:15 |
| satans | needs some time to configure it | 16:15 |

| storbeck | lol | 16:15 |
| sidewalk | what kinds of internet tvs can i watch with Ubuntu? | 16:15 |
| miha | i love gnome, but i found out i could live with xfce. | 16:15 |
| LukaszJ | satans: So, seems to fulfill your need, right :) ? | 16:15 |
| j-b-r | It works perfectly fast on a pentium 2! | 16:15 |
| storbeck | Fluxbox is probably one of the least user friendly wm's :P | 16:15 |

| satans | #ubuntu | 16:37 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | how does one go about loading a driver? my driver is installed (using windows wireless drivers), but i take it that the unclaimed card is because is the driver is not loaded. anybody have any idea? | 16:37 |

| _VIM_ | satan use screen + irssi :) | 16:38 |
| nickrud | xpot, that's encouraging, actually. gksu gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/vmware-server.postrm , find the line with set -e on it. put exit 0 on the next line by itself. If you don't find set -e near the top, just put exit 0 on the third line by itself. Then run the force removeal again | 16:39 |
| storbeck | _VIM_: If you're addicted to IRC use screen :P | 16:39 |

| Chris_Were | does anyone know anything about the ati drivers problem that cause x to hang? | 16:41 |
| satans | yawn | 16:41 |
| hermes_ | how does the setup work? Earlier the config was placed under "device" in xorg.conf , now it only says "configured device" | 16:42 |
| _VIM_ | satans: yes they're called balloon tips, but i think it requires the libnotify package for that to work | 16:42 |
| ineedubuntuhelp | if ndiswrapper comes up using lsmod and it says 'used by' and a 0 in the column, is it loaded or not? | 16:43 |
| hermes_ | how come xorg.conf doesnt specify driver type anymore? | 16:43 |

| lorenzosu | I'm running ubuntu 8.10 with gnome. All my 'kde-based' applications are broken: I can only runthem as su | 16:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hermes_, actually it does if you set it up manually the new autoconfig of intrepid does it for you without too much work on xog.conf, however, if you're like me you're better off doing it manually | 16:44 |

| === sean is now known as Guest57135 | ||
| nickrud | xpot, that means it all went well. try sudo apt-get -f install. if there are no errors, you're good to go. Except for some manual cleanup that might be needed | 16:45 |

| Pirate_Hunter | lorenzosu, would that be because your in gnome but still there should be support for kde apps they shouldnt be broken | 16:45 |

| nyaa | I always had weird problems doing xorg.conf, the last time I tried to do that by myself it ended in a reinstall =/ | 16:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | lorenzosu, like i said that shouldnt happen go back to a kde session and try running them to see if they work, however, gnome should support kde i think you need to install a package for that but aint certain since i dont use kde | 16:47 |
| storbeck | You can use the arch manual that Pirate_Hunter said | 16:47 |
| lorenzosu | Mighty: Can you be a little more specific please? | 16:48 |
| lorenzosu | Pirate_Hunter: Yes they work in gnome too, already tested | 16:48 |

| Mean_Admin_ | all right, checking, trying to understand: rsync -a --delete dir0/ dir1/ would copy dir0 totally, as in information would occupy twice the disk space now | 17:03 |
| G__81 | jtaji, i am able to type in the 6th window but i just get 5 windows where in i cannot type anythin | 17:03 |
| storbeck | Mean_Admin_: Yes | 17:03 |
| Pirate_Hunter | adaptr, thank you been wondering about that for a while might pop out the lappy 2morrow if i get some free time | 17:03 |
| Mean_Admin_ | so if dir0/ melts, dir1/ would still contain the info | 17:03 |
| jtaji | G__81: that makes sense if no tty is started in them | 17:03 |
| G__81 | yeah so now how do i stop those 5 windows from opening | 17:04 |
| Jeffrey04 | er... I tried upgrading from hardy to intrepid but i stopped the upgrade while it was downloading packages | 17:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hermes_, just saw that isnt it working for you, which section are you trying to fix? | 17:04 |
| Mean_Admin_ | then cp -al dir1/ dir2/ would hard link files, so it would take an insignificant extra space | 17:04 |

| nickrud | G__81, nooooo! | 17:04 |
| jtaji | G__81: you are throwing me calling them windows :p | 17:04 |

| Mean_Admin_ | lastly, when I run, again, rsync - a --delete dir0/ dir1/ ,dir1/ would be modified (files added and removed) to mirror dir0/ BUT if files are removed, they would not be physcially deleted because cp -la made a hard link earlier right ? | 17:05 |

| G__81 | storbeck, i just debootstrap and created the UbuntuFS | 17:09 |
| Mean_Admin_ | s0101: you suing ssh -x ? | 17:09 |
| nickrud | G__81, so, delete tty2 -> tty6 in /etc/event.d/ and reboot. Or better yet, just leave them cuz you might have a crash in your program and need a backdoor into the system to fix things | 17:09 |
| s0101 | not sure but i want a graphich connection | 17:10 |
| jtaji | G__81: my bad, ignore trolling comment :p | 17:10 |

| whatev | how can i see my default gateway (router)'s ip address from ifconfig? | 17:10 |
| ortsvorsteher | whatev: try netstat -rn to see your default route | 17:10 |
| s0101 | i thought remote desktop that comes with ubuntu should be the easy option | 17:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hermes: heck ill just post my current xorg.conf and you can see what is missing | 17:11 |
| jtaji | whatev: or just 'route' | 17:11 |
| G__81 | nickrud, yes exactly i deleted it and now what happens is that i get only one Console where in i can type but i still get 5 consoles where in i cannot type anything. I just get a blank screen in those 5 console | 17:11 |
| Mean_Admin_ | s0101: well, if you are inactive on a remote connection, it can close on you | 17:11 |
| s0101 | this is the first time i try to use it | 17:11 |
| nickrud | G__81, what about when you hit 6, 7, or 8 | 17:12 |
| Mean_Admin_ | s0101: so is it , you leave it inactive and then it dies on you? | 17:12 |
| s0101 | I dont get a connection | 17:12 |
| jtaji | nickrud: he is using UML, which is why his VCs show up as windows | 17:12 |
| whatev | jtaji typing 'route' just showed an ip of 192.168.1.0, but my router is 192.168.1.1 | 17:12 |
| G__81 | i get the tty6 properly coz i ve deleted the remaining 5 | 17:12 |
| Mean_Admin_ | s0101: well, what did you install/configure to do this ? | 17:12 |
| storbeck | G__81: Although I may get flamed for this, but why did you go through the trouble of setting up the debootstrap and ubuntufs? | 17:12 |
| storbeck | You could have just installed a base gentoo distro | 17:13 |
| Mean_Admin_ | s0101: wjhere did you get to before it brakes down? | 17:13 |
| fabio | hi | 17:13 |
| jtaji | whatev: there should be a line after that, usually 0.0.0.0 gateway_ip | 17:13 |

| bullgard4 | What is a 'wireless extension'? (iwconfig prints: "wifi0: No wireless extensions.") | 17:13 |
| whatev | jtaji there isnt, maybe because it's my laptop connected wirelessly? | 17:14 |
| G__81 | storbeck, thats my actual requirement | 17:14 |

| fabio | so the problem is with amsn | 17:14 |
| fabio | i think | 17:14 |
| nickrud | jtaji, ah, then I guess I know nothing about that. G__81 http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/configure.html has some console config options, you might find enough there or terms to google | 17:14 |
| ortsvorsteher | !enter | fabio | 17:14 |
| ubottu | fabio: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 17:14 |
| jtaji | Mean_Admin_: that's right, you have to delete all existing hard links to delete the file | 17:15 |
| Mean_Admin_ | s0101: ok so you configured firestarter to open port 5900, anythign else ? | 17:15 |
| s0101 | I type in the ip which is the same like this computer and press connect after i see my uder name s0101 not sure if it is this comp or the remote but if i press connect it says time out | 17:15 |
| Mean_Admin_ | jtaji: all right, so rsync -a -delete combined with cp -la commands can make a functional incremental backup system | 17:15 |
| whatev | jtaji for gateway it just says * | 17:15 |
| ghone | bullgard4 Madwifi creates wifi0 as a starting point for creating other device files. please look at the output of the command "ifconfig" | 17:15 |

| bullgard4 | ortsvorsteher: Well, in fact my computer detects a wireless device. -- Can you please tell me what a 'wireless extension' is. | 17:16 |
| s0101 | or connection closed after i reconfigured the ports for remote in d link i get connection closed again | 17:16 |
| whatev | oh wait it shows the ip for gateway when i type netstat -rn, just nto route | 17:16 |
| jtaji | Mean_Admin_: a snapshotting system, yeah | 17:16 |
| user___ | s3a: insert -> chart | 17:16 |
| whatev | for route it just says 'wireless broadb' | 17:16 |

| Andy80 | hi | 17:16 |
| fabio | oke sorry, so my problem is with the amsn webcam, when I want to configure it in amsn it shows a black screen | 17:16 |

| s0101 | It is 2 computers on a router and they have the same ip | 17:16 |
| bashir | hey | 17:16 |
| hermes_ | Pirate_Hunter: Thanks, I'll see how I can use this in my config | 17:17 |
| ghone | bullgard4 think of wireless entensions as the interfaces that wireless ethernet adapters have, but other ethernet adapters don't | 17:17 |
| Mean_Admin_ | s0101: they should NOT have the same ip | 17:17 |
| bashir | i got a dell mini a couple of days ago | 17:17 |
| bashir | i used to be able to use the wireless just fine | 17:17 |

| Mean_Admin_ | s0101: perfect! then your client's ip is 192.168.0.166 and your server's (or remote computer) ip is 192.168.0.102. Now, from your client computer, you gotta type in the ip address of the computer you wanna connect to (in this case 192.168.0.102) | 17:34 |
| dou213 | miha, why not? i want to be able to login to phpmyadmin from extern | 17:34 |

| miha | dou213: mysql connections means for example remote program can use mysql database, you dont need that. you want phpmyadmin which will have localhost connection to mysql. just open port 80 for web pages (and phpmyadmin) | 17:34 |

| dou213 | Mean_Admin_, so what should i look for precisely pls? | 17:35 |

| Mean_Admin_ | spucki: I know that stirs some trouble :S sorry, I don't have enough experience whit that particular kind of installation; I really do encourage installing it from a CD, like a normal OS, and just dual-booting, it's much more conveniant | 17:42 |

| user___ | s3a: how do you bring it to writer? | 17:43 |
| Mean_Admin_ | spucki: it's not wrong, it's just I 've had some trouble myself and I don't find it's worth the trouble, compared to just burning the .iso and insalling it like a respectable OS | 17:43 |
| s3a | user___, copy paste | 17:43 |

| miha | zagabar: yup, moment | 17:45 |
| RenatoSilva | what does it use in place? inetd is kind of "mother" service isnt it. CVS is supossed to run under it, at least in SuSE | 17:45 |
| lstarnes | arooni: it is used for building the search database used by the deskbar | 17:45 |

| RenatoSilva | lstarnes: it's a façade for that file, right? | 17:48 |
| anna | thanks | 17:49 |
| lstarnes | RenatoSilva: essentially. It's more of a simplified frontend | 17:49 |
| RenatoSilva | lstarnes: why does Ubuntu have that file if inetd is not installed? | 17:49 |
| The_Joe_ | Eh nevermind - I decided stalonetray is a bit annoying | 17:49 |
| lstarnes | RenatoSilva: something else might require it for some reason | 17:49 |
| lstarnes | arooni: hold on, I'm trying to figure out how to disable it | 17:49 |
| RenatoSilva | lstarnes: might? in the future? | 17:49 |
| Hylsy | There isnt any people who can help me? | 17:50 |
| lstarnes | RenatoSilva: I think it is required by samba | 17:50 |
| s3a | user___, ok nvm it works now | 17:50 |

| lstarnes | RenatoSilva: I have no idea | 17:51 |

| RenatoSilva | lstarnes: it's there for some enigmatic reason kkkkkkkk | 17:52 |
| RenatoSilva | Why doesnt Ubuntu have Martian Modem Driver in the repositories? | 17:52 |
| lstarnes | RenatoSilva: it's there for some reason, but I'm not sure what that reason is | 17:52 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Wunderbar you wont find a setting in xchat to make firefox do that.. it would be a setting in firefox | 18:05 |
| Gnea | zaapiel: and a partition is faster than a file | 18:05 |
| Bsims | Hrm second little question, can I put my icons on the panel to the right side vs the left? | 18:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | lorenzosu, dont know if this is correct but you could symlink the files | 18:05 |
| zaapiel | according to wikipedia(lol) it isnt | 18:06 |
| Gnea | ORLY? | 18:06 |
| Gnea | zaapiel: well, we're #ubuntu, not #wikipedia | 18:06 |

| aeonoris | How? | 18:08 |

| 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.

| zaapiel | 1 gig of swap seems like plenty | 18:10 |
| Gnea | zaapiel: you should probably lower your swappiness then | 18:10 |
| aeonoris | lstarnes, thanks | 18:10 |
| Wunderbar | if i have to find xchat via the file manager where would i need to go? | 18:10 |
| zaapiel | also what is hibernate? | 18:10 |
| zaapiel | that like sleep mode? | 18:10 |
| jtaji | zaapiel: I'd probably use 1GB too | 18:10 |

| jtaji | 2 * swap was never good advice, and you're still giving it | 18:14 |

| lorenzosu | I have a dual-boot system with UBUNTU and Windows XP, with many files burried in /media/Dovcuments and Settings/myname/Documents, etc. Is there a way to "alias" some dirs like in the ubuntu hpome dir? | 18:14 |
| miha | Wunderbar: to make file executable (if you know it is program) chmod +x program | 18:14 |
| oCean_ | zaapiel: i run laptop 3gb ram, 1gb swap. Never had problems with that. When in need, you can always add a swapfile | 18:14 |
| Gnea | zaapiel: and in your case, i would definitely lower the swappiness from 60 to something like 10 or 20! | 18:14 |
| ardchoille | I always felt that more than 2gb swap was a waste | 18:14 |
| jtaji | Gnea: zaapiel: true it was more applicable for < 1GB | 18:14 |

| deany | Wunderbar, when i click an irc link it asks me what to do.. i can choose the app i want to open with. | 18:22 |
| Wunderbar | yes, which is where i am now | 18:23 |

| kittyhawk | allquixotic: not sure. I'm willing to build my own, but only if I can find some good information on what hardware to pick | 18:23 |
| Vdub | Anyone...? Why when I try to log into weebly, does Firefox just download a "userHome.php" file, and not allow me to log in? | 18:23 |

| allquixotic | kittyhawk: Lots of people will give an opinion on what they think is a good system, but it depends heavily on your budget, your use cases, and your skill level | 18:23 |
| deany | it must be set already then in FF.. look in options..applications, | 18:23 |

| ikonia | marine1: sorry, I don't support wubi installs | 18:44 |
| shadowflier | if you have asked a question and noone is answering that means they are researching it, so dont ask it again and again, wait 5 minutes | 18:44 |

| d|663r | it seems to be running, and I didn't asked for it | 18:45 |

| Lucifer_Cat | ikonia: though just for knowledge sake... i remember there is an /etc/rc.conf file, either in BSD or solaris environments... whats the same thing for debian? | 18:45 |
| ikonia | d|663r: if you want | 18:45 |

| GNUtoo | hello, I'd like to use ubuntu's kernel for booting another distro(2hdd->raid->encrypted with LUKS) is it doable? | 18:45 |
| ikonia | GNUtoo: not advisable | 18:46 |
| Endophage | ikonia -> once again my problem fixed no thanks to your "help" | 18:46 |
| Lucifer_Cat | miha: ok. etc.local was empty, so i was just wondering. | 18:46 |
| ikonia | Endophage: I didn't give you any help | 18:46 |
| miha | Lucifer_Cat: that's last rc stuff executed | 18:46 |
| ikonia | Endophage: I just advised that the driver support was poor | 18:46 |
| miha | after all rest | 18:46 |
| bmorris_ | I have a samba server set up this way: http://www.arsgeek.com/2006/08/29/how-to-share-a-folder-with-readwrite-access-using-samba-on-linux/ but I'm having problems connecting | 18:46 |
| Endophage | and it's not a driver problem | 18:46 |
| Endophage | turns out to be an alsa problem | 18:46 |
| Lucifer_Cat | neat bot this ubottu | 18:46 |
| ikonia | Endophage: I didn't say it was, I just informed you they are known to be poor | 18:46 |
| GNUtoo | ikonia, yes but I realy need to do that...ubuntu has twice the performance of a vanilla kernel with my encrypted rootfs and I'd like to try to debug that | 18:46 |
| andrew__ | Gnea: I've read those links anout alsa. Looks like alsa works for me. I have no idea if the sound coming from SAA7134 | 18:47 |
| Endophage | gain on alsa is to great, have to turn master volume down to about 50% then sound quality is back to normal | 18:47 |
| ikonia | GNUtoo: I doubt that's a kernel issue | 18:47 |
| rainmanp7 | Man i need to start video editing on this thing :) and doing many other things like DVD ediditng but i know I'm gonna thrash the system -> SO I hope someone will fire up a defrag program :) or get working on it thanX | 18:47 |
| bmorris_ | I'm trying to mount the share using this command: sudo mount -t smbfs //209.90.***.***/workspace workspace/ -o username=bmorris,password=mypassword but it just hangs | 18:47 |
| ikonia | GNUtoo: or an ubuntu kernel issue I should say, I'd first of all check the stock kernel versions differences | 18:47 |
| ikonia | GNUtoo: that would be a good place to start | 18:47 |
| GNUtoo | ikonia, when i assemble and open the hdd on ubuntu and do a hdparm -tT /dev/mapper/root and on gentoo...ubuntu has twice the performance of gentoo...then in gentoo top often report wa(io wait) over 90% | 18:48 |
| miha | bmorris_: sudo smbmount \\\\some-pc\\Downloads /media/some-pc -o user=windows_user,pass=windows_pass | 18:48 |
| miha | bmorris_: that's what i use, i just changed user and pass for here | 18:48 |
| ikonia | GNUtoo: as I said I'd check the stock kernels differences first | 18:48 |
| === luciferarc is now known as problemoman | ||
| problemoman | can i downgrade drivers in hardy? | 18:49 |
| GNUtoo | ikonia, ubuntu is the last one and the gentoo is 2.6.28.2 | 18:49 |
| oCean_ | bmorris_: try smbclient to see if the setup/connection is valid | 18:49 |
| ikonia | GNUtoo: ubuntu is the last one what ? | 18:49 |
| rainmanp7 | Anyone seen Lady GaGa pokerface ? I was able to get the sound working in Youtube with the cmedia usb headset with the mozilla but now I need to fire up some mp3's etc.. any ideas where i can snatch up some siple files for testing ? Becasue my audigy main sound system is not being displayed in Alsa player | 18:50 |
| miha | windows expect \\ and you need to escape so its \\\\ :) | 18:50 |
| === problemoman is now known as luciferarc | ||
| miha | i guess | 18:50 |
| GNUtoo | ikonia, ubuntu = 2.6.27.11 | 18:50 |
| ikonia | GNUtoo: so check a stock 2.6.27.11 against a stock 2.6.28.2 | 18:51 |
| === marcos is now known as w525aa | ||
| GNUtoo | ikonia, could it be because my system is not labeled? | 18:51 |
| ikonia | GNUtoo: that would be the best starting point | 18:51 |
| GNUtoo | ikonia, ok thanks | 18:51 |
| bmorris_ | miha, I get an error saying mount error: improperly formatted UNC name. \209.90.***.***\workspace does not begin with \\ or //No ip address specified and hostname not found | 18:51 |
| Lucifer_Cat | miha: i dunno what context it is, but you are right. a lot of people get bitten by "\\" when they want to do "\\\\" else it comes out as "\" | 18:51 |
| miha | bmorris_: \\\\209.90.*.*\\workspace | 18:52 |
| Lucifer_Cat | just replace * with a real number, i suppose? | 18:52 |
| miha | yes | 18:52 |
| cecilia | Hi, I was here yesterday to solve a monitor resolution problem, it appeared to be solved, but it isn't | 18:54 |
| bmorris_ | miha, well that's not throwing an error but it looks like it's just hanging.. | 18:54 |
| miha | bmorris_: hmm | 18:54 |
| bmorris_ | what's the default port for samba to go across? | 18:54 |
| cecilia | my pc had this terribly low resolution 800x600 and i needed 1440x900 | 18:54 |
| miha | bmorris_: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-22_11-5108461.html something like this for start? | 18:55 |
| cecilia | with an apt-get install nvidia-glx-96 it and ctrl+alt+backspace, i got the resolution | 18:55 |
| bmorris_ | okay i'll take a look at that. thanks | 18:55 |
| baltazor | привет всем | 18:55 |
| rainmanp7 | Anyone know a Good Video editing program so I can make a promo video for ubuntu ? | 18:55 |
| oCean_ | bmorris_: can you connect the other machine through smb at all? Does "smbclient -L <serverip>" output the available shares? | 18:55 |
| baltazor | english ? | 18:55 |
| cecilia | but today, when i restarted the computer, the old bad resolution was back | 18:56 |
| cecilia | could anyone anyone help me? | 18:56 |
| bmorris_ | oCean_, no errors but it hangs as well | 18:56 |
| s0101 | Helper are you here i restarted | 18:56 |
| error404notfound | on command-line, how can I check to what category a package belongs? | 18:56 |
| rainmanp7 | ceclilia driver ? xorg.conf ? | 18:56 |
| === c40s[Ou7] is now known as c40s | ||
| cecilia | yes? the xorg-conf file does not have any info | 18:57 |
| miha | cecilia: if bad one is just default one, try ctrl-alt+PLUS ctrl-alt-MINUS to test other resolutions | 18:57 |
| jtaji | error404notfound: aptitude show <packagename> | grep Section | 18:57 |
| oCean_ | bmorris_: can you reach/connect the remote machine at all? | 18:57 |
| jtaji | error404notfound: grep ^Section is slightly better actually :p | 18:57 |
| bmorris_ | oCean_, I can ssh into it and connect to apache | 18:57 |
| usser | miha, that doesnt work anymore | 18:58 |
| marine1 | need boot disk to fixmbr does any one know a page that has it | 18:58 |
| miha | usser: no? | 18:58 |
| rainmanp7 | cecilia there needs to be a Video Driver set and monitor information for better results ;) if you set somthing and it resets with your current setup is becasue it wanted to default to what it could handle with current no vdeo but emunlation stuff | 18:58 |
| dxdemetriou | after upgrade I have this error "dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed". I removed and reinstalled all packages manually with dpkg but still exists | 18:58 |
| miha | usser: damn i'm old then:) | 18:58 |
| usser | miha, nope i think they removed it since hardy | 18:58 |
| usser | heh | 18:58 |
| adrenaline | does anybody know the flags for mpg123 to start mp3 on hover? | 18:58 |
| error404notfound | jtaji: ahan.. and is there a web ui which can show the applications as they are shown in add/remove... I am not talking about synaptic/add-remove web alternate, just package list... | 18:58 |
| cecilia | so... what should i do? | 18:59 |
| miha | usser: well i have old iiyama visionmaster 410pro for desktop, it can do 1024x768@100 Hz, but plugnplay resolution is disaster... googled for modlines and set resolutions manually | 18:59 |
| oCean_ | bmorris_: ok. Then it's something on the serverside of samba I would say | 18:59 |
| cecilia | you see, at the nvidia drivers, now appears the option nvidia 96, that didn't appear before | 18:59 |
| rainmanp7 | cecilia your running just video emulation right now -> aka a um simple driver for the video card | 18:59 |
| spec_ | Heya...does anyone know if it's possible to use the HDMI port on a GeForce 8600M GT (Dell XPS m1530 vid card) as an input device? | 19:00 |
| bmorris_ | oCean_, do you know which port samba uses by default? I'm not sure if the ports are forwarded correctly on the router | 19:00 |
| rainmanp7 | cecilia oh ok :) | 19:00 |
| miha | usser: now ubuntu resolition says i have refresh rate from 50-65 hz in increment of 2 hz :) | 19:00 |
| miha | usser: but picture is great | 19:00 |
| rainmanp7 | cecilia what type of video card do you have ? | 19:00 |
| jtaji | error404notfound: you want the "sections" they are in add/remove? those are actually the menu location that the program will show up in, not sure how to get those programmatically | 19:00 |
| cecilia | i have a geforce 6200 | 19:00 |
| usser | miha, running at 100hz never worked for me, my eyes just get tired, i dunno why. 75 hz its perfect though | 19:01 |
| oCean_ | bmorris_: isn't it 445? | 19:01 |
| error404notfound | jtaji: yup, categorized list of programs.. | 19:01 |
| tanker_ | hello | 19:01 |
| Frijolie | anyone know how Places > Recent Documents work? | 19:01 |
| rainmanp7 | cecilia look up on google for your video card and xorg.conf and how to set up the nvidia control pannel thing first and get that working and tell it to save it's configuration before editing stuff so you have a backup :) | 19:01 |
| Frijolie | sometimes documents show up there--and more often they do not | 19:01 |
| jtaji | error404notfound: yeah I dunno, add/remove is a special interface that just shows GUI programs, all other apt interfaces deal with all packages | 19:02 |
| bmorris_ | hmm that might be it.. I don't think that's forwarded right now | 19:02 |
| bmorris_ | oCean_, do you know how to change the default port? | 19:02 |
| bm | who wanna chat | 19:02 |
| miha | usser: yah, 85 hz is great. i noticed though with age, picture shrinks horizontally, but with some settings it is still good enough | 19:02 |
| rainmanp7 | bm me lol | 19:02 |
| cecilia | i'm sorry, i'm very newbie at all this stuff... how can i configure this? it seems the new driver is not activated | 19:02 |
| Frijolie | bm, are you asking for an a/s/l? | 19:02 |
| error404notfound | jtaji: I googled and fined appnr, but that includes the install part as well.. | 19:02 |
| Bsims | I am trying to install kde4 on Intrepid and I can't get it to work... apt-get install -s kubuntu-kde4-desktop reports broken packages | 19:03 |
| oCean_ | bmorris_: on windows? Sorry... haven't been there for ages. But I think google knows | 19:03 |
| quentin | Can anyone help me get my Moto Q working | 19:03 |
| rainmanp7 | cecilia k let me find that thing i followed | 19:03 |
| bmorris_ | it's actually in ubuntu 8.10 | 19:03 |
| cecilia | ok | 19:03 |
| edgimar_ | I'm able to copy songs to a USB mp3 player I have (with Rhythmbox), but not delete them -- strange... Has anyone else experienced this? (solutions??) | 19:03 |
| cecilia | you see, i use the intrepid | 19:03 |
| cecilia | if this info is useful | 19:03 |

| binarymutant | quentin, my mp3 player acts like a hard drive | 19:05 |
| user___ | baz: do it like xyzxyzxyzxyz | 19:05 |
| Frijolie | I guess that would be a negative on the Recent Documents question... | 19:05 |
| rainmanp7 | cecilia check the private chat thing i jsut fired up k | 19:05 |
| cecilia | ok | 19:05 |
| daedra | which distribution should I choose? I have a low-end laptop and am a programmer at university | 19:06 |
| quentin | binarymutant, ok. but my moto Q doesnt show up when I plug it in via USB | 19:06 |
| daedra | I have tried the zegenie quiz and it has not really asked enough questions to make an informed decision | 19:06 |
| miha | daedra: how low end? | 19:07 |
| binarymutant | quentin, pastebin dmesg and I'll see what's up | 19:07 |
| miha | daedra: xubuntu? | 19:07 |
| _VIM_ | daedra: i was going to suggest xubuntu as well | 19:07 |
| binarymutant | quentin, wait, unplug and plug it back in and then do dmesg | 19:07 |

| coreGirl | there is a way to recovery a password from gnome key ring? | 19:09 |
| daedra | miha: so still xubuntu? | 19:09 |
| _VIM_ | But i have this fear of suggesting Xubuntu anymore, last time I did that some jerk chewed me out saying his hardware wasn't 'bad' enough for XUbuntu and he got all defensive about his precious hardware heh :/ | 19:09 |
| miha | daedra: pentium m 1.5 worked with gnome just fine | 19:09 |
| miha | for me | 19:09 |

| psilocybin | did he resolve it? | 19:19 |
| usser | daedra, yea lxde would do, if thats a laptop with wifi you'll probably want NetworkManager though | 19:19 |

| redvamp128 | psilocybin: I looked on the nvidia site and even had him install the .04 instead of the .06 for the 71 drivers and those are the ones that support his card. | 19:21 |

| psilocybin | what do you want me to paste in there? | 19:22 |
| daedra | that's got to be some disorder... inability to read lowercase | 19:22 |
| Bodsda | Guest41362, i assume dpkg -i /path/to/package.deb | 19:22 |
| binarymutant | psilocybin, the output from make install, and probably make too | 19:22 |

| baz | if i usermod'ed a user's login name, is the user still related to their old hom directory? For example if i renamed user bob to baz, would baz's home dir be /home/bob until i change that too? | 19:25 |
| faiesh | im a newbie | 19:25 |
| redvamp128 | To be honest have only ran -- in the past Fiesty -- Intrepid and Hardy | 19:25 |
| baz | faiesh, hi nooby | 19:25 |
| binarymutant | psilocybin, looks like it's fine | 19:25 |
| _VIM_ | redvamp128: here's a list of ubuntu releases , even going back to 4.10 Warty Warthog | 19:25 |

| binarymutant | psilocybin, no erros | 19:25 |
| oCean_ | baz: you would have to change the homedir too | 19:26 |
| BlindCamel | binarymutant how do i install the kernel headers ? | 19:26 |
| psilocybin | whats with the make install? | 19:26 |
| psilocybin | update dependency? | 19:26 |
| daedra | usser: oh I see what this is...not much point really | 19:26 |
| daedra | usser: I'm just going to use xubuntu | 19:26 |
| baz | oCean_, so which user do i reference? I already changed the login name, now do i type: "sudo usermod -d /home/olduser newuser"?? | 19:26 |
| binarymutant | psilocybin, there were 0 errors in make install | 19:26 |
| usser | daedra, xubuntu is less trouble sure. works out the box | 19:27 |
| oCean_ | baz: in the options you specify all the 'new' things. Finally (last argument) is the current username | 19:27 |
| psilocybin | whats the update module dependency relationship mean? | 19:27 |
| baz | oCean_, aha, i'm glad u told me that actually... so is my statement right | 19:28 |
| binarymutant | BlindCamel, sorry I type slow, on a tablet but install linux-headers-2.6.*, i don't know which kernel your using but uname -a will show it | 19:28 |
| b52ub_ | |AR|, sorry still here :D ? | 19:28 |
| binarymutant | psilocybin, it means it installed and updated your modules | 19:28 |
| Brando753 | hey where is the guy i was just helping ? | 19:29 |

| bhuvi | hi! i'm usin ubuntu 8.04,i'm not able 2 use pidgin through proxy server | 19:30 |
| oCean_ | baz: I don't think it's necessary to specify the directory for the olduser, since your system already has all that information (by specifying the user to be modified as final argument) | 19:30 |
| marine1 | Brando753, what up | 19:31 |
| binarymutant | psilocybin, maybe modprobe ctfxi | 19:31 |
| oCean_ | baz: "usermod -u <newuid> <currentusername>" is a valid command for example | 19:31 |
| binarymutant | psilocybin, or a restart would suffice | 19:31 |

| psilocybin | sure | 19:32 |

| _VIM_ | !LAMP | weatherkid (this is just one method)... | 19:35 |
| ubottu | weatherkid (this is just one method)...: 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+) | 19:35 |
| oCean_ | baz: moment.. think it's in the options | 19:35 |
| baz | kouya, "wget" means it goes out to the internet and downloads a file >> "&&" means to do another command after the first command >> "sh" means to run a shell script (a set of command lines lumped together in one file, like a .bat) | 19:35 |
| psilocybin | cause the driver deletes itself every so often | 19:35 |
| chabalaw-chan | hi hi !! | 19:35 |
| kouya | thanks | 19:35 |
| chabalaw-chan | :) | 19:35 |
| baz | kouya, so basically its downloading a shell script then running it - to install winetricks, a program | 19:35 |
| binarymutant | psilocybin, that's really weird, every reboot? or just random? | 19:35 |
| psilocybin | randomly | 19:35 |
| binarymutant | psilocybin, sorry :/ | 19:36 |
| weatherkid | your !LAMP site says it is no longer supported | 19:36 |
| oCean_ | baz: it should be: usermod -d /home/newdir -m currentusername. | 19:36 |
| psilocybin | no problem thanks for the help binary | 19:36 |

| crunchbang | pidgin using right now but no voice | 19:38 |
| redvamp128 | kouya: if you use wine it also has other handy tweaks-- all explained at www.winehq.org | 19:38 |
| oCean_ | baz: I can imagine. That's why I don't like to refer to it too quickly. One has to learn to use them, after that... they're a blessing | 19:38 |
| crunchbang | binary please help | 19:38 |
| _VIM_ | hehe baz reading man pages is like reading an entire phone book , just to look up one number. | 19:39 |

I installed Ubuntu to a seperate HD and installed grub to a boot partition I created (/dev/sda3). I then used dd to copy the first 512 bytes of sda3's bootsector (I think?) to a bin file, and used that bin file to create a boot option in Window's boot loader. It worked, however after I selected 'linux' to boot, the screen showed | 20:13 |

| poet | lacita: I've had upgrades break a lot of stuff (wireless, vpn connections, etc). Sometimes you just gotta do the config over again | 20:28 |
| GNUtoo | ikonia, so is there any additional direction I should look into? | 20:28 |
| ikonia | GNUtoo: just pondering about other differences, eg: different versions of the encyption tools | 20:28 |
| TheEdge_ | anyone tried the new ati driver and are they better than the old one ?? | 20:28 |
| lacita | poet, The screen turns black... My entire graphics interface goes capute | 20:28 |
| bastones | Gotta ask a silly question but want to be sure... the Windows in Ubuntu are slightly bigger than what I'm use to and what they are in Windows...is this normal for Ubuntu/Linux? I havent really used Ubuntu before as I now got my wireless working so was just wondering... | 20:29 |
| exodus_ms | bastones: not sure what you are saying? | 20:29 |
| BlindCamel | what makes a driver active but not in use ? | 20:30 |
| poet | lacita: boot into the console then and make sure the correct driver is loaded. you also might try reconfiguring X | 20:30 |

| kaveh | hi | 20:31 |
| bastones | exodus_ms: err like if you open FireFox, or any other application its much bigger than like what they are in Windows XP/Vista whatever...not sure if this is normal for Linux/Ubuntu | 20:31 |

| ikonia | GNUtoo: be interesting to see what the differences are in the versions, that would be worth looking | 20:31 |
| kaveh | what should i do? | 20:31 |
| ikonia | GNUtoo: you could well be right about the kernel, but I just can't see it myself, more so after you've tested two stock kernels | 20:31 |
| exodus_ms | bastones: what is your screen resolution set to | 20:31 |
| GNUtoo | ikonia, ok...I'll try the kernel after the relabel and after that I'll try the userspace...but I've done a test: | 20:32 |
| olrrai | azharcs: oh, well, see u later guys! | 20:32 |
| bastones | exodus_ms in Monitor Res. Settings it says 1024 x 768 (4:3) | 20:32 |
| ikonia | GNUtoo: maybe worth trying the kernel as you suggest, I just don't see it myself personally | 20:32 |
| ikonia | GNUtoo: that doesn't mean I'm right | 20:32 |
| GNUtoo | ikonia, gentoo's kernel with ubuntu's rootfs: 36.64 MB/s | 20:33 |
| azharcs | olrrai : Same here, it was nice talking to u. | 20:33 |
| GNUtoo | ikonia, normal is 49.83MB/s | 20:33 |

| Guest46613 | Cpudan80, yeah by listening to real experts here | 20:59 |
| RenatoSilva | root doesnt have it because there is no root unless you create it and log into it ==> actually, it's because trash is a gnome feature, and will be created only if you log in in GNOME as root, which is disabled by default | 20:59 |

| Guest46613 | _VIM_, and i created the partiions originally | 21:02 |
| RenatoSilva | binarymutant: $sudo passwd is enough to use root, it's about *enabling* it, not *creating* it | 21:02 |
| Guest46613 | _VIM_, thru the livecd as it requested that i do | 21:03 |
| Mimi | maco, hehe, right now I didn't even have to take care of it, it killed itself and brought itself back up.. I think. Because I got a message saying "screen isnt compozited" or something. But now it is. *shrug* Well, if that's the problem, I guess I know how to fix it :/ thanks x-D | 21:03 |
| maco | ari_stre1s: there's a link on teh page before the java applet even finishes loading | 21:03 |
| _VIM_ | Guest46613: well that is not concidered "through windows" | 21:03 |
| Prabz | Cpudan80, I deleted a 3 GB file but didnt get the disk space | 21:03 |
| binarymutant | RenatoSilva, sure | 21:03 |
| maco | Prabz: did you delete it or move it to the trash? | 21:03 |
| ari_stre1s | maco: that's the problem, while it's loading, firefox is hang already (grey), i can't do anything with it | 21:04 |
| exodus_ms | Prabz: have you tried locating the file by using the terminal | 21:04 |
| Guest46613 | _VIM_, yeah but it wan't booted thru the cdrom after changing the bios | 21:04 |
| Jampiter | Hi | 21:04 |
| coddy2 | hi | 21:04 |
| exodus_ms | Prabz: then using something similar to rm to get rid of the file | 21:04 |
| Prabz | maco, I deleted it using shift+delete, as always | 21:04 |
| Prabz | exodus_ms, I'm not able to locate that file | 21:04 |
| Prabz | even fuser says file not found | 21:05 |
| maco | ari_stre1s: Prabz are you sure its not in the trash? ive never used shift+delete... | 21:05 |
| Jampiter | I have just installed Intrepid on a new laptop with built in Wifi. I am trying to connect to the internet via wifi but it won't connect. I am using a WEP key, and I am putting the right code in. What can I do? | 21:05 |
| Guest46613 | _VIM_, ok then what | 21:05 |
| putrefy | is it possible to smb share an external usb drive that is using ntfs-3g in ubuntu 8.10? | 21:05 |
| exodus_ms | Prabz: what was your disk apce before you 'deleted' the file and what is the space afterwards | 21:05 |
| RenatoSilva | binarymutant: I just wanted to be sure that my "sudo -i" 's weren't creating files on root trash, but I've just realized that "rm" doesn't do that, but nautilus | 21:05 |
| emmecenne | ragazzi sera... | 21:05 |
| zleap | are you sure its wep not wpa | 21:05 |
| emmecenne | ho un problema... | 21:05 |
| e-frame | shift del won't left anything in trash | 21:06 |
| maco | ari_stre1s: try adding &_ecdc=false&htmlup=1 to the end of the url | 21:06 |
| Jampiter | zleap: Sure, although i'll try WPA, how do I do that? | 21:06 |
| maco | ari_stre1s: thats what i see change when i choose simple uploader below the applet | 21:06 |
| zleap | not sure, | 21:06 |
| Prabz | exodus_ms, disk space before: 700MB disk space after: 700 MB | 21:06 |
| Prabz | maco I have emptied the trash too | 21:06 |
| zleap | but there are two protocols so its worth making sure you're using the right one | 21:06 |
| exodus_ms | Prabz: what are you using to get your hdd size | 21:07 |

| kaveh | itshows 2 screens but it does not wrk | 21:08 |

| yow|laptop | Brando753 - boot a live cd, use gparted and see if you can expand the partition | 21:32 |
| zash | Guest46613: "sbackup" does not seem to be optimal for backing up to cd | 21:32 |
| Brando753 | how would i reformat or fix it? | 21:32 |
| Brando753 | would i run a linux live cd? | 21:32 |
| Brando753 | or gpartd live cd | 21:33 |
| zash | Guest46613: in add/remove apps, if you search for "backup" and look throu the results | 21:33 |
| Brando753 | ? | 21:33 |
| yow|laptop | any live cd with gparted | 21:33 |
| Senzor | Is there a 'software building' expert here I can ask a question to? | 21:33 |

| yow|laptop | well Brando753 - unless your files are tight, i dont think they could get 'loose', but by expanding the partition, you won't _lose_ any files ;) | 21:34 |

| binarymutant | kaveh, or you can pastebin the entire xorg.conf and let me see it | 21:42 |
| dean | helpme2: which partition is your linux one | 21:42 |
| dean | helpme2: is it /dev/sda5 | 21:42 |
| helpme2 | dean, I dunno, its not on the master drive | 21:43 |
| Wille_eee | fuck, my installations screen tunes up every time i boot up system, why? anyone ?? ubuntu eee user ofc | 21:43 |

| binarymutant | :P | 21:43 |
| helpme2 | Dean, no its not | 21:43 |
| dean | helpme2: what is it then | 21:43 |
| kaveh | binarymutant, i changed the string with CRT let me try it again | 21:43 |
| helpme2 | dean its /dev/sdb2 | 21:43 |
| dean | helpme2: if you donit know try find /boot/grub/stage1 | 21:43 |
| dean | helpme2: then don't do setup (hd0) | 21:44 |
| dean | helpme2: root (hd1, ...) | 21:44 |
| dean | helpme2: because it is sdb it is the second hard drive | 21:44 |
| chrisw | can anyone explain what these kind of random dns lookup failures might be? | 21:44 |
| chrisw | http://paste.ubuntu.com/112586/ | 21:44 |
| dean | helpme2: so using hd1 instead of hd0 should work | 21:45 |
| helpme2 | dean, but i thought I had to install grub on the partition where the windows bootloader is. Also, I have a different partition for /home /root | 21:45 |

| marz1 | Hello, I am stuck at 640x480 resolution on Ubuntu Intrepid. I've searched the net but can only find solutions that work with Intrepid (i.e. Xrandr). I'm using the nvidia drivers detected by ubuntu. If I use the default drivers I can't get 800x600. How can I get 1024x800 using my nvidia drivers? | 21:45 |

| yow|laptop | marz1 - did you try manually editing your xorg.conf file? are you using the nvidia drivers? | 21:46 |
| Wille_eee | setup wants 'me' to completete? if i use i'll lose my work?0r is sudo apt-get upgrae an option? | 21:46 |
| marz1 | yow|laptop: I am using the nvidia drivers. I read somewhere I should not have to touch xorg.conf file because of xrandr, but also I don't know how to edit it or what to add. | 21:46 |
| Guest46613 | Brando753, you there bro | 21:46 |
| yow|laptop | marz1 - is it a laptop? which nvidia card is it? | 21:47 |
| dean | helpme2: ok do root (1,1) and setup (hd0) | 21:47 |
| helpme2 | Dean, so my ubuntu root/system/non-home partition is actually /dev/sdb1... But i though i had to install grub on the master hdd where windows is? | 21:47 |
| helpme2 | so its root(1,0) then? | 21:47 |
| marz1 | yow|laptop: It is not a laptop, desktop. GeForce Ti4200 (old card) | 21:47 |

| Wille_eee | how can i clean space that I do not use? | 21:48 |
| yow|laptop | marz1 - you could try the previous version of the ubuntu drivers and see if those work, otherwise i would edit xorg.conf by adding in that resolution line | 21:48 |
| helpme2 | dean, ok i will try it | 21:49 |
| Guest46613 | Brando753, you there bro got a quick question | 21:49 |

| lrentz | I know but I want to make sure I have the right source. I was using Kubuntu with KDE4 but when I installed the update too 4.2 X got hosed somehow. | 21:54 |
| Pyles17 | binarymutant: can you explain? I've tried the tutorials and just ended up killing the x server | 21:54 |
| TopKatz | hello | 21:54 |
| KyleK | helpme2: partition numbers are arbitrary, are you sure you're not following docs that assume like (hd0,0) when you put it to be (hd0,1) or something else? | 21:54 |
| lrentz | Then I could not get kubuntu to install. So I installed ubuntu. | 21:54 |
| binarymutant | Pyles17, here's an example from my tablet http://paste.ubuntu.com/112591/ | 21:54 |

| lrentz | I would like to run both KDE 4.2 and Gnome. | 21:54 |
| zash | KNOME | 21:55 |
| helpme2 | kylek hd0,0 is the partition where windows is installed , and where i assume the bootloader should go. hd0 is my master drive, im desperate | 21:55 |
| KyleK | lol | 21:55 |
| dean | helpme2: so now when you try to boot you always go to windows | 21:55 |
| dean | helpme2: | 21:55 |
| helpme2 | dean, yes, that is correct | 21:55 |
| binarymutant | Pyles17, dont copy anything but the wacom stuff or else you'll risk not being able to get back into X, oh ya and backup | 21:55 |
| zash | lrentz: there's nothing stopping you from running kde-programs under gnome and gnome-programs under kde | 21:55 |
| KyleK | helpme2: you want the linux partition with the linuxy stuff actually | 21:55 |

| ActionParsnip1 | savvas: what does all that do?? | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | savvas: thanks loads :) | 22:28 |
| mib_1ov9udf7 | KyleK: I just found it. /sbin/service runs scripts in the directory you mentioned. You said that you found something saying that someone changed named to bind9? Who was that--Ubuntu? Debian? | 22:29 |
| savvas | ActionParsnip1: well basically, you have to remove .bashrc to get the default settings, your .bashrc may be old or not updated (but do keep a back up just in case) | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | savvas: its mainly headless but bash completion is useful for ssh | 22:30 |
| TuxSympathiser | Has 8.04 gotten more "stable" since its release? | 22:30 |

| fiftyone | dan__ its just a modified intrepid kernel i guess. the hibernation hack required it | 22:47 |
| `Matir | __Ali__, I'd try checking the logs on reboot... my guess is something hardware-wise is not reinitialized properly after the first suspend | 22:47 |

| nickrud | imaginativeone, baobab is a nice graphical disk space usage display; it shows up in the accessories menu as disk usage analyzer | 23:05 |
| gordonjcp | imaginativeone: just to head off your next questions, you want "du -h" for values in sensible units, and "--max-depth=<n>" to only show a certain number of levels of directory | 23:05 |
| imaginativeone | nickrud: thanks! | 23:05 |
| gordonjcp | imaginativeone: so typically you'd say "du -h --max-depth=1" and find the directory that says it has 185G in it | 23:05 |

| erpo | Chousuke: <accent type="indian">I'm sorry sir, but Qwest does not offer IPv6 service.</accent> | 23:09 |
| techqbert | I'm running Ubuntu as host with Vector Linux as guest in Virtualbox. Ever since I started up VirtualBox, I see the HD flickering often on my ultraportable. Think virtualization is wise with SSD? | 23:09 |
| Chousuke | erpo: :( | 23:09 |
| mexitalian | GnomeKing: i shall try it | 23:09 |
| erpo | Chousuke: Incidentally, where do you live that you think you might be able to get IPv6 service from an ISP? | 23:09 |
| Chousuke | erpo: Finland. | 23:09 |
| erpo | Chousuke: Cool! | 23:09 |
| GnomeKing | erpo, I'm in the UK and a smaller ISP I was with offered IPv6 2 years ago ;) | 23:09 |
| erpo | The US is such a backwater when it comes to Internet access. | 23:10 |
| erpo | Oh well. At least I don't live in Australia. | 23:10 |
| Chousuke | I don't think my ISP offers it (student connection), but there are some small ISPs that do; and probably the bigger ones too if you ask enough :P | 23:10 |
| deany | uk doesnt even know what internet is.. im uk.. and we *BOAST* 50meg | 23:10 |
| gordonjcp | erpo: I'm with Virgin Media, if you get their Indian call centre you get someone with a slight Indian accent who knows what they're doing, and if you get their UK call centre in the south side of Glasgow you get someone with a really strong Indian accent who hasn't a clue | 23:10 |
| CrOOgie | anyone is familiar with dualhead on ubuntu ? | 23:10 |
| Chousuke | deany: 50 Mbps would be a nice connection. | 23:11 |
| GnomeKing | CrOOgie, I've used it | 23:11 |
| deany | third world countries get faster :) | 23:11 |
| uncmar | CrOOgie: which vid card? | 23:11 |
| dobblego | can I run daemon scripts without root access? | 23:11 |
| Chousuke | deany: connections of that caliber are rare here :/ | 23:11 |
| GnomeKing | dobblego, in theory, sure - but most of them try to do priveledged things like listen on ports <1024, which you cannot do without root. | 23:12 |
| fiftyone | No HellaNZB users here? | 23:12 |
| CrOOgie | uncmar: ati x1400 execly | 23:12 |
| deany | 100meg in usa 10 yrs ago were cheap and common...cable of course. | 23:12 |
| deany | fiftyone, i use ninan.. very nice | 23:12 |
| Chousuke | deany: um, that doesn't sound right. | 23:12 |
| dobblego | GnomeKing, of course, thanks | 23:12 |

| helpme2 | Hey guys. Im having a lot of trouble here. I switched to ubuntu a year ago and now that i formatted and resintalled windows it got rid of the grub loader. i have windows on hd0,0 . and ubuntu on another hdd. where should i reinstall grub on the windwos hd0,0 partition or on the ubuntu root parition? IM desperate . Thank you very much in advance <) | 23:12 |
| uncmar | CrOOgie: I had help setting up an ATI once. Swore I wouldn't do it again. nvidia is much easier. | 23:12 |
| fp2099 | Anyone familiar with ntfsclone errors? I get "ERROR(22): restore_image: lseek: Invalid argument", help please. | 23:13 |
| Chousuke | deany: from what I hear, the US is *still* rather backwards when it comes to internet connections :) | 23:13 |
| flashkidd | I use a cable connection with 6mbps | 23:13 |
| deany | well.. i knew a few people there in another irc channel... 100/10 cable | 23:13 |
| GnomeKing | helpme2, install grub in the MBR but then on the ubuntu root partition. If you install grub on hd0,0, your windows boot loader will be fubared. | 23:13 |
| flashkidd | 100 mb should be fantastic, lol | 23:13 |
| nickrud | helpme2, put it on hd0 | 23:13 |
| CrOOgie | i can't run amdcccle with admin privileges because of http://paste.pocoo.org/show/102362/ | 23:13 |
| CrOOgie | its weird!! my xorg.conf is execly: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/102363/ like that | 23:13 |
| Chousuke | I'm not sure if you can even get 100Mbps with cable... fiber, yes, not cable. | 23:13 |
| deany | heheh | 23:13 |
| CAP5700 | how can i make an atheros working in ubuntu , i want to have wifi | 23:13 |

| uncmar | helpme2: The partition that is marked bootable. Which is probably the windows partition. | 23:13 |
| nickrud | don't put it on hd0,0 | 23:13 |
| deany | i know, im kidding.. it was 10meg and 1meg upload | 23:13 |
| deany | :) | 23:13 |

| deany | but 10 yrs ago, id have killed for it | 23:14 |
| Chousuke | I have 100Mbps, but on a 1Gbps backbone shared with lots of other people (will soon be on a 10Gbps backbone though) | 23:14 |
| flashkidd | ahhhh, lol | 23:14 |
| nickrud | helpme2, we're saying the same thing, just different ways | 23:14 |
| fiftyone | deany cool, does it support nzb? | 23:14 |
| CrOOgie | any ideas ? | 23:14 |
| deany | fiftyone, yup | 23:14 |
| helpme2 | i though someone said to install it on the ubuntu partition | 23:14 |
| deany | fiftyone, Ninan Is Not A Newsreader | 23:14 |
| nickrud | !grub | helpme2 good, step by step instructions: | 23:15 |

| fiftyone | ah ok | 23:16 |
| deany | server side, uses web interface to administer it.. v nice | 23:16 |
| uncmar | CrOOgie: look in /etc/X11, you will see several, AND. you might have one in your ~/.X11 folder. Um, not sure about that, Might me .x11 or something similiar. | 23:16 |
| deany | auto loads nzb, nzb.zip | 23:16 |
| GnomeKing | uncmar, how could X use the user file? it loads it before you have logged in ;) | 23:16 |
| deany | fiftyone, im a leecher.. using newzbin.com.. i use it | 23:17 |
| GnomeKing | CrOOgie, the one that is used is /etc/X11/xorg.conf - the rest are backups | 23:17 |
| fiftyone | denay nice | 23:17 |
| fiftyone | perfect for what i want | 23:17 |
| sportsoft | hello | 23:17 |
| deany | thought so | 23:17 |
| Arenlor | Does anyone know what package geoclue is? | 23:17 |
| uncmar | CrOOgie: what GnomeKing said. I'm still learning a lot. | 23:17 |
| fiftyone | denay yea i use newzbin im so happy they finally fixed their payment thing | 23:17 |
| helpme2 | nickrud, when i use the find command i get two options, one is the windows partition and the other i believe is the ubuntu partition. where should i set root? on hd0,1 which is windows or hd1,0 | 23:18 |
| sportsoft | can anyone help with diskless booting? | 23:18 |
| deany | go grab ninan.. im here for a while if you need help | 23:18 |
| CrOOgie | yeah but error says that i have Disable keyword in my xorg.conf and it haven't | 23:18 |
| deany | get the beta RC3 tho.. works fine | 23:18 |
| cryzxx | im trying to remove usplash by doing "aptitude purge usplash usplash-theme" but i get a message saying that it will also remove the meta package "ubuntu-desktop", which i do not want. so the question is, how can i remove a package part of the meta-package without removing the entire meta-package. anyone? | 23:18 |
| weatherkid | Arenlor: there isn't a package for geoclue in the repos | 23:18 |
| fiftyone | deany cool, im getting it now. | 23:18 |
| deany | just dont like auto extracting to another folder for me | 23:18 |
| GnomeKing | helpme2, hd1,0 (assuming that ubuntu is on your second harddisk) | 23:19 |
| deany | no biggie | 23:19 |
| nickrud | helpme2, ah, set root is ubuntu. | 23:19 |
| deany | its same as hella, only gets pars when needed | 23:19 |
| helpme2 | gnomeking thanks, im doing that | 23:19 |
| GnomeKing | CrOOgie, we'll assume you've restarted X? ;) | 23:19 |
| uncmar | CrOOgie: There aren'te enough settings there to enable dual head. | 23:19 |
| nickrud | helpme2, you mean the find stage 1? | 23:19 |
| fiftyone | denay, this is a dbm? or source? | 23:19 |
| fiftyone | wish it was in the repos | 23:19 |
| deany | you need to install par2 | 23:19 |
| fiftyone | yea i got par2 | 23:19 |
| deany | there is an installer | 23:20 |
| CrOOgie | I've installed ATI drivers | 23:20 |
| fiftyone | ok cool | 23:20 |
| deany | but i prefer the tar | 23:20 |
| helpme2 | thing is ive been doing this thing with grub for a while but i always got error 17 and 11 so i decided to fixmbr and fixboot with my xp cd in rescue mode and THEN do the grub with the ubuntu live cd | 23:20 |
| helpme2 | ill tell you guys what happened | 23:20 |
| CrOOgie | i know that it is too small... but have no idea why | 23:20 |
| helpme2 | thanks everyone, im going to reboot now | 23:20 |
| GnomeKing | darn | 23:20 |
| * nickrud wonders if helpme2 has mixed sata/pata drives | 23:20 | |
| uncmar | CrOOgie: according to that file posted, you are using glx and fglrx. Not ati or radeon. | 23:20 |
| GnomeKing | I bet he's got a non-standard boot partition! | 23:20 |
| mexitalian | gnomeking: thankyou | 23:21 |
| mib_1ov9udf7 | Anyone know why BIND is called "bind9" in Ubuntu and "named" in Fedora? | 23:21 |
| GnomeKing | mexitalian, happy to help :) | 23:21 |
| nickrud | GnomeKing, I saw enough problems with that that I dumped the pata drive and got another sata before I even tried installing ;) | 23:21 |
| sportsoft | anybody have experience with a diskless boot? | 23:21 |
| CrOOgie | hmm... so i have to edit it ? | 23:21 |
| Chousuke | mib_1ov9udf7: bind9 is its name, but it's a nameserver, so "named" tells its purpose. | 23:22 |
| jaypur | hi, my sound is not working so good, it plays music at rythmbox, but at the internet, and the ubuntu sounds it doesnt play.... | 23:22 |
| uncmar | sportsoft: diskless? such as CD, DVD, usb or Flash? | 23:22 |
| CrOOgie | but the most weird is that "Disable" | 23:22 |
| weatherkid | sportsoft: are you talking 'bout a network boot? | 23:22 |
| mib_1ov9udf7 | Chousuke: Yes, but who renamed it--Ubuntu or Fedora? | 23:22 |
| ruckerz | anyone know the command to retrieve the hardware acceleration available for a video card? I thought it was some X command | 23:22 |
| sportsoft | yeah network booting | 23:22 |
| mexitalian | im think im playing with fsck fire | 23:22 |
| Chousuke | mib_1ov9udf7: probably fedora. | 23:22 |
| mexitalian | no idea what im doing really | 23:22 |
| sportsoft | no disk on the client at all | 23:22 |
| ruckerz | I'm looking specifically for opengl extensions | 23:22 |
| Chousuke | mib_1ov9udf7: it doesn't really matter; it might have two names for all I know :) | 23:22 |
| jaypur | can someone help me? | 23:22 |

| slide | Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block ####### | 23:23 |
| GnomeKing | Nyquist333, you probably don't have permissions to delete all files in there, but did to move the directory to the trash. | 23:23 |
| uncmar | sportsoft: default audio setting problems? | 23:24 |
| sportsoft | weatherkid: ok, great | 23:24 |
| GnomeKing | slide, probably a failure in downloading / burning the CD. If you can't get to the "check cd" option, re-download/burn | 23:24 |
| Nyquist333 | .trash does not exist in my home folder. | 23:24 |
| slide | ok, let me reboot heh (dont leave GnomeKing ! ;) ) | 23:24 |
| GnomeKing | Nyquist333, ok - the .trash sub-dir of the drive you deleted the files from then | 23:24 |
| Nyquist333 | The folder was on my desktop. I deleted it with the file browser. | 23:24 |

| GnomeKing | Nyquist333, ok - I'm wrong :) not sure where it is now... ho hum | 23:25 |

| sportsoft | oever and over again | 23:26 |
| CrOOgie | hyperspace: I'm trying | 23:26 |
| fdr | spill, is there a howto a guide or something? | 23:26 |

| hyperspace | CrOOgie: where ya at on it | 23:26 |
| Nyquist333 | GnomeKing - I think you have the right idea. Just need to find the folder. Then I can sudo rm it. | 23:26 |
| GnomeKing | Nyquist333, or you can restore it from trash and rm it then... | 23:27 |

| * uncmar wonders which irc client gives that Konversation terminated message upon quit. | 23:29 | |
| GnomeKing | yeah, good question uncmar ... I wonder if it could be "konversation"? | 23:29 |
| weatherkid | uncmar: Konversation | 23:29 |
| spill | any one ever use firehol? I'm trying to allow local network addresses through the firewall anyone know how? | 23:29 |
| Nyquist333 | GnomeKing - Retore worked, it is locked. Every strange. sudo rm worked. Thanks. | 23:29 |
| c0ntr0lp4n1k | says: the flollowing packages are no longer required? | 23:29 |
| Nyquist333 | The folder had write protected files in it. | 23:29 |
| slide | GnomeKing, ok so i got the same error | 23:29 |
| GnomeKing | Nyquist333, you can "delete" a file (move it to trash) if you own the directory - even if you don't own the file itself. You just can't purge it. | 23:30 |
| GnomeKing | slide, remind me? | 23:30 |

| GnomeKing | Wunderbar, he's really l33t, isn't he | 23:40 |
| koshar2 | H4x0r depends on the file, is it bin, java script? | 23:40 |
| Wunderbar | no doubt | 23:40 |

| Truefire | @lenswipe varnish can be uninstalled with ' sudo apt-get autoremove varnish' | 23:50 |
| weatherkid | yes i know i misspelled that | 23:51 |
| GnomeKing | weatherkid, I'd be surprised - you have to mount them as a loopback device, whereas archive manager just reads things | 23:51 |
| weatherkid | ture | 23:51 |
| weatherkid | true | 23:51 |
| weatherkid | god i can't spell anymore | 23:51 |
| GnomeKing | anyhoo - tattybye! | 23:52 |
| Truefire | @weatherkid you can't mount them from what I know, but you can extract them like a zip. | 23:52 |
| weatherkid | true | 23:52 |
| uncmar | weatherkid: looks like you got anymore right. It was the word true you had problems with. ;) | 23:52 |
