| yoyoned | anima_: install usplash-theme-ubuntu | 00:02 |
| anima_ | ok...it has the new one I wanted listed, but not the old one. | 00:02 |
| nkei0 | mikeshollen: What's wrong with it? | 00:02 |
| nkei0 | err afk | 00:03 |
| Slart | _VIM_: isn't there an ignore option? | 00:03 |
| _VIM_ | Slart: i hope so, else i might have to go back to xchat it has that feature :) | 00:03 |
| Slart | anima_: ok.. try this.. "sudo apt-get install --reinstall usplash-theme-ubuntu" | 00:03 |
| mikeshollen | nkei0: When I tried to install 8.10 it just worked right away, but I was having some other major issues and so I tried 8.04 which solved all the other problems but now the wireless card doesn't show up. I can see the wired connection, but not wireless. | 00:03 |
| fluffybacon | nkei0: Sorry - dpkg-reconfigure xorg-driver-fglrx | 00:04 |
| wannab | mikeshollen: maybe the kernel does not support your wireless card? | 00:04 |

| SonicComKid | I still havn't found a way to remove boot loaders from MBR's without destorying the partition tables | 00:05 |
| mikeshollen | As in this distro of Ubuntu will not ever work with my wifi card? | 00:05 |
| anima_ | Slart: thank you, that looks like what I goofed up - lemme reboot and see if that did what I wanted. | 00:05 |
| anima_ | bbiab | 00:05 |
| fluffybacon | failing that try apt-get --purge remove <fglrx> && apt-get install <fglrx> #sorry I have no idea what the ATI driver package is called | 00:06 |
| mikeshollen | I have a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20) according to the hardware tester | 00:06 |
| anima_ | Slart: Nope, still there. If I want to reinstall the whole thing, just reboot with the disk in the cdrom, yes? Or does that hose things? | 00:10 |
| oobe | mikeshollen, the 8.04 uses an older kernel which probably does have the driver for you wifi card you can compile a newer kernel or search google for the specific driver source code project and compile that | 00:10 |
| Slart | nope... you'll have to press the install button for it to hose your system | 00:10 |
| Slart | ami: but try this first.. open the startup manager in system, administration | 00:10 |
| Slart | bah.. I can't type today | 00:10 |
| Slart | anima_: look above.. that was for you | 00:11 |
| anima_ | ok | 00:11 |
| anima_ | it's open | 00:11 |
| genewitch | is anyone here intimate with libpcap? i have to use a --with-pcap= when i configure, and i am wondering where to get a list of all the possible values of that variable | 00:11 |
| oobe | mikeshollen, out of curiosity could you pm me the other problems you had with 8.10 im still using 8.04 and am planning to upgrade one day | 00:11 |
| Slart | anima_: in appearance.. do you seen the usplash-theme-ubuntu? | 00:11 |
| anima_ | yes! select and close? | 00:12 |
| anima_ | then reboot again? | 00:12 |
| Slart | anima_: yes, but make sure "show boot splash" checkbox is checked in "Boot options" first | 00:12 |
| mikeshollen | oobe: The major problem I ran into was that my graphics driver wouldn't work properly. I tried all the suggested drivers and each time it killed the gui | 00:12 |
| anima_ | ok | 00:12 |
| The-Compiler | hi, got a strange problem, my pc's cpu is at or around 100% all the time, and it displays 70-80% at system. Why? | 00:13 |
| oobe | mikeshollen, ok thanks | 00:13 |
| Slart | The-Compiler: use top or the system monitor to see what is using all the cpu time | 00:13 |
| anima_ | Slart: brb | 00:13 |
| The-Compiler | Slart, i did, but it's nothing... | 00:14 |
| The-Compiler | slart, and I only run Transmission, ran fine and now it started to rum at 100% cpu | 00:14 |
| Slart | The-Compiler: huh? you don't see anything using the cpu? | 00:15 |
| The-Compiler | slart, yeah, only around 3% | 00:15 |
| Slart | The-Compiler: you are sorting it by cpu-% ? | 00:16 |
| geffislegend | so hey everyone , my computer is officially broken, i shrunk another parition in my computer yesterday then windows decides to not work anymore and anytime i startup now it gets a bluescreen error and shuts down, all i can run is this live version of ubuntu, i tried reformatting but it wont even let me do that, i get a error every time i try that also | 00:16 |

| deadbattery | anyone has ever used mod_bw for apache2 | 00:16 |

| Delvien | Anyone else getting redirected to http://tutorialvid.com/ when going to gnome-look.org? | 00:17 |
| jken146 | geffislegend: What error? | 00:17 |
| Slart | anima_: it's not a background picture you're seeing? it is the actual splash screen? | 00:17 |
| jken146 | Delvien: no | 00:17 |
| racecar-56 | brb | 00:18 |
| Slart | anima_: just to separate the sucking up from the actual reporting here.. did anything change in the boot appearance? it's the same as before? better still not good? all fine? | 00:18 |

| Slart | Delvien: works for me here.. no redirection | 00:19 |
| Delvien | Its only gnome-look.org that is doing it to me | 00:19 |
| anima_ | Slart, Just so you know, I'm southern. Trust me when I start sucking up it's way hard to miss. This time was more like ubuntu is normally. | 00:19 |

| Slart | anima_: on the second tab, Boot loader themes | 00:21 |
| geffislegend | oh nvm guys its actually going to let me full install ubuntu this time, but its asking if i want to install a boot loader, should i do it? what is it? | 00:21 |
| wemdowemd | When installing off the alternative CD (with various boot related areas, partitions, and so on in various atypical places), is it made clear when overwriting MBRs and boot-sectors is imminent? I want to avoid overwriting either on the internal hard drive of the laptop I'm using. In fact, I don't want that hard-drive touched at all. I'd set it to 'read only' for the duration of my tinkering... | 00:22 |
| wemdowemd | ...if I could. | 00:22 |
| BanDiT | You will need a bootloader because that's what tells your computer how to start Ubuntu | 00:22 |
| Slart | geffislegend: it's the thing that starts booting ubuntu when the computer starts.. it's called grub and yes you want it | 00:22 |
| anima_ | The middle section for bootloader themes is empty. | 00:22 |
| jken146 | geffislegend: yes, you should | 00:22 |
| jken146 | !grub | geffislegend | 00:22 |
| ubottu | geffislegend: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 00:22 |

| N-A | Several events/applications make a sound through my PC's internal speaker, is there any way to get these events/applications to use the sounds defined in the ubuntu settings? | 00:22 |
| anima_ | Slart: yes | 00:23 |
| geffislegend | oh okay thanks a lot ^^ | 00:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wemdowemd the alternate is a text based installer. NOT a livecd | 00:23 |

| Slart | Baatti: yes | 00:23 |
| Baatti | Slart: thank you | 00:24 |
| wemdowemd | Jack_Sparrow: So I can't use it to make a LiveUSB? Or at least, I'd have to install it somewhere first and then use the installation to make one? | 00:24 |
| anom01y | I am trying to install bitchx-gtk / bitchx using hardy but there is no package for hardy, only feisty. Is there a way to convert it ? | 00:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wemdowemd I dont think the alternate has that feature. I thought that was only on livecd | 00:25 |
| jken146 | wemdowemd: you can use unetbootin to make a live usb | 00:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !usb | 00:25 |

| jken146 | wemdowemd: but not from the alternate cd | 00:25 |
| jrib | anom01y: bitchx was removed for the repositories because it was maintained and it had numerous open issues. Consider using irssi or weechat instead | 00:25 |
| ceil420 | irssi > bitchx | 00:25 |
| anima_ | Slart: OK, it's not the one that comes up with the orange bar showing load/unload. You just fixed that one. It's after it brings up my mouse/desktop, and immediately before it loads my wallpaper image. Does that help? | 00:25 |
| jrib | anom01y: s/maintained/unmaintained | 00:25 |
| Slart | anom01y: bah.. that wasn't the factoid I wanted.. well.. apparently bitchx has been removed.. something about bugs not getting fixed | 00:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ceil420 That is why we discourage people taking polls or asking best | 00:25 |
| anom01y | irsii is as good as bitchx ? | 00:26 |
| Slart | anima_: ah.. actually it does.. is it the background where you enter your username to login? | 00:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !polls | 00:26 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 00:26 |
| ceil420 | Jack_Sparrow, but it's factual, in this case | 00:26 |
| jrib | anom01y: irssi and weechat are both pretty good. Try them out for yourself | 00:26 |
| Slart | anom01y: I haven't used bitchx but irssi works nicely for me | 00:26 |
| anima_ | No, it's after that - that one is normal peachy pink solid color | 00:26 |
| ceil420 | Jack_Sparrow, notice i didn't compare irssi to xchat, or any other actively maintained IRC client | 00:26 |
| daedra | How do you quit telnet irc? | 00:26 |
| wemdowemd | jken146: OK then. I've read the LiveUSB stuff on the help pages. Crucially though, MBR overwriting will only occur on the partition where Ubuntu is installed? As in, if I run it and tell it to install ubuntu on a partition on an external hard drive, it WILL NOT touch anything on the laptop itself? | 00:27 |
| ceil420 | daedra, quit :quit message | 00:27 |
| anima_ | daedra: /quit if I remember right. | 00:27 |
| Slart | anom01y: ok.. let me search a bit for that... | 00:27 |
| ceil420 | (message optional) | 00:27 |
| Slart | anom01y: sorry.. wrong nick | 00:27 |
| ceil420 | anima_, don't need slashes in telnet | 00:27 |
| anima_ | *shrug* My bad. Sorry. | 00:27 |
| Slart | anima_: ok, let me check something | 00:27 |
| ceil420 | why anyone would use telnet for IRC i'll never know | 00:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wemdowemd But you wiull have grub errors or other booting issues | 00:27 |
| ceil420 | privmsg #ubuntu :this stuff is a PITA | 00:27 |
| anom01y | I wanted to check out the bitchx-gtk but I guess thats a no go now.. | 00:27 |
| ceil420 | privmsg #ubuntu :i wouldn't wanna do it more than once or twice a decade <_< | 00:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ceil420 Please stop | 00:28 |
| ceil420 | anom01y, you can probably still install it from other sources | 00:28 |
| anima_ | Jack: tnx | 00:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | anima_ np | 00:28 |
| ceil420 | Jack_Sparrow, you please stop | 00:28 |
| jken146 | wemdowemd: yes, you can tell the installer to install grub to any partition you choose. If you choose a partition on an external hard drive, your internal drives won;t be touched. But you'll have to use your BIOS setup to boot from your external drive. | 00:28 |
| * anima_ opens door for ceil420 | 00:29 | |
| ceil420 | Jack_Sparrow, i'm just warning people that are considering using telnet for IRC what they're in for | 00:29 |

| lampoon | Hello | 00:30 |
| kindofabuzz | why does my NFS not automount on boot? i always have to sudo mount -a for it to mount | 00:30 |
| lampoon | Is it a removable disk? | 00:31 |
| jken146 | kindofabuzz: Have you added it to /etc/fstab? | 00:31 |
| === techsupport is now known as orudie | ||
| === lampoon is now known as Twili | ||
| kindofabuzz | jken146, yes, otherwise mount -a wouldn't even mount it | 00:31 |
| wemdowemd | jken146: That's fine. But presumably there will be some MBR-style overwriting at the beginning of the external drive as well as GRUB itself on the selected partition? As in, if there are 2 part's on the external and I tell it to install Ubuntu on P #2, it will do so + grub, but overwrite the *first few* kb also to make the external bootable? | 00:31 |
| Slart | anima_: if you start gconf-editor in a terminal and check in "apps, nautilus, preferences" what is the value of the key "background_filename" ? | 00:32 |
| jken146 | kindofabuzz: yes, of course. | 00:32 |
| Daemon_ | having trouble adding themes to ubuntu any help appreciated | 00:32 |
| kindofabuzz | jken146, i can't figure out why it's not. maybe the nfs service is not started before fstab is read? | 00:32 |
| anima_ | Slart: could you bust that down a little further...is the terminal command "start gconf-editor"? | 00:32 |
| dxdemetriou | can I start gui application as another user without asking for a password? I did it with sudo but I can't find how it works with gksudo | 00:32 |
| Slart | anima_: just "gconf-editor", it will open a small editor with a tree like structure on the left side | 00:33 |
| jken146 | wemdowemd: it won't overwrite the mbr unless you choose the first partition of that disk, akaik | 00:33 |
| Slart | anima_: browse to apps, nautilus, preferences there.. then check the right side for background_image | 00:33 |
| jken146 | kindofabuzz: you could put mount -a in an init script and see if that does it | 00:33 |
| === niki77 is now known as nikola77 | ||
| Slart | anima_: sorry.. background_filename | 00:33 |
| wemdowemd | jken146: So I'd be needing some other way to start the boot process, that would point to GRUB in the relevant partition? Like a removable media bootdisc or something? | 00:34 |
| anima_ | No entry there. | 00:34 |
| anima_ | Slart: no entry there. | 00:34 |
| kindofabuzz | jken146, yeah, but i'd like to know why it ins't working when everything else is mounted during boot | 00:34 |
| jken146 | wemdowemd: yes, like another bootloader. Can't you just put it on the mbr? | 00:34 |
| Slart | anima_: hmm.. back to searching then.. I'll be back when I find something new to try | 00:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wemdowemd You could do it with a bootable cd but then you could not use that cd drive during the session | 00:34 |

| Slart | anima_: that one will probably hold the current wallpaper | 00:35 |
| wemdowemd | jken146: Given that there's already 1 partition at the beginning of the external drive, and said drive is currently non-bootable, would writing a MBR to it screw up the existing partition table somehow? Jack | 00:36 |

| Slart | fearful: are you using compiz? if so there might be a setting in there too | 00:57 |

| aiuw | How do I force Ubuntu to re-download the package files when I re-install them? | 00:58 |
| Slart | fearful: you can use the "windows rules" plugin in compiz to do it | 00:59 |

| dtchen | cratel: and you're using native Flash 10, correct? | 01:07 |
| linux_guy | its got windows 98 lol | 01:07 |
| daedra | anyone here use ROX-filemanager? I need to know the command line switch for the Set Run Action As... setting. For example, the default (the active file) is "$@" | 01:07 |

| hubaker | Ive been doing my research for a good server os | 01:08 |
| icefyre | hubaker: what's the question? | 01:08 |
| daedra | linux_guy: look up unetbootin | 01:08 |
| icefyre | lol | 01:08 |
| daedra | hubaker: depends on what you need it for | 01:09 |
| hubaker | and the three ive came up with is server 03, free bsd, and ubuntu server | 01:09 |
| dtchen | cratel: make sure all your alsa apps are configured to use 'default' instead of 'plughw' or 'hw' | 01:09 |
| hubaker | ill be hosting 1 or 2 websites | 01:09 |
| dtchen | cratel: that last bit is *essential* | 01:09 |
| linux_guy | oh i got unetbootin | 01:09 |
| daedra | hubaker: depends on what you need the websites to do | 01:09 |
| icefyre | generally linux webservers stay up a VERY long time | 01:09 |
| jken146 | hubaker: use Ubuntu LTS or debian stable | 01:09 |
| linux_guy | im curious if that oLD BIOS supports boot from usb? | 01:09 |
| icefyre | but, yeah depends on the website | 01:09 |
| cratel | dtchen: well maybe the problem is the app then because there's 2 options: plugin and hdware. | 01:09 |
| daedra | linux_guy: maybe not. flash it | 01:09 |
| lwhacker | anybody have problems with the ati catalyst app? | 01:09 |
| linux_guy | when did boot from usb become a popular bios option | 01:10 |
| daedra | anyone here use ROX-filemanager? I need to know the command line switch for the Set Run Action As... setting. For example, the default (the active file) is "$@" | 01:10 |
| icefyre | still, much better option than a Microsoft server | 01:10 |
| daedra | linux_guy: in 2001 | 01:10 |
| dtchen | cratel: which app? | 01:10 |
| jken146 | linux_guy: more than 5 years ago | 01:10 |

| hubaker | well, nothing flashy. ill be dev'ing the website on adobe contribute, so php, http, css would be the makings of the website | 01:10 |
| hubaker | now a consern for me is the ease of use for managing the website | 01:10 |

| N-A | How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker? | 01:10 |

| daedra | hubaker: not heard of adobe contribute | 01:11 |
| cratel | dtchen: audacity too. | 01:11 |
| furythor | could my problem with wine be related to graphics card driver ? | 01:11 |
| jken146 | hubaker: LAMP is pretty easy to set up | 01:11 |
| icefyre | if nothing crazy, it shouldn't be hard to set up | 01:11 |
| hubaker | no, less then a hundred hits a month | 01:11 |
| hubaker | more like 50 at best | 01:11 |
| icefyre | just be sure to secure it! | 01:11 |
| dtchen | cratel: ah, that's due to both PulseAudio and JACK requiring exclusive (hw) access | 01:11 |
| icefyre | if you are exposing your machine to the net you have to make sure your server is tight | 01:11 |
| cratel | dtchen: I'm not using JACK though. | 01:11 |
| dtchen | cratel: JACK does not like (default) or (plughw) | 01:11 |
| daedra | anyone here use ROX-filemanager? I need to know the command line switch for the Set Run Action As... setting. For example, the default (the active file) is "$@" | 01:11 |
| dtchen | cratel: yes, and puredata falls back to (plughw) or (hw) | 01:12 |
| icefyre | sorry, I use Rox with puppy linux | 01:12 |
| hubaker | thats my next concern, how secure is ubuntu server compared to free bsd and server 2003 | 01:12 |
| icefyre | but I don't know the command line option | 01:12 |
| icefyre | oh | 01:12 |
| cratel | dtchen: with puredata I can choose OSS, ALSA or JACK. | 01:12 |
| icefyre | dude, that's completely up to you | 01:12 |
| dtchen | cratel: your audio hardware simply doesn't have native multiopen, so you can't have multiple apps using (plughw) or (hw) | 01:12 |
| icefyre | NetBSD is very secure out of the box | 01:12 |
| icefyre | but normally you need to secure your own server | 01:12 |
| icefyre | not trust the defaults | 01:12 |
| Slart | hubaker: no server is secure enough that you can skip doing backups | 01:12 |

| furythor | Jack I don't have but know something about it.. what kind propblem you got ? | 01:16 |

| jken146 | Jack_Sparrow: I have done it in the past | 01:16 |
| N-A | RyanP: Did you mount the CD? | 01:16 |
| RyanP | I've scoured the internet | 01:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | furythor Not a problem actually. I was working on a question earlier about having an external that you could boot to through a cd | 01:16 |
| saloto | olá | 01:16 |
| RyanP | yes | 01:16 |

| jken146 | Jack_Sparrow: sometimes. In many cases, the BIOS was not set to boot from usb first, so that had to be done each time. Otherwise, Ubuntu tends to do a fairly good job with changing hardware. A live-USB persistent install might be better though | 01:18 |

| jken146 | Jack_Sparrow: if that's all you need, a live cd or live usb with no frills should be sufficient | 01:20 |

| jove | hello all, does anyone know why Ubuntu 8 is very slow whenever launching Fire fox ? Is there any thing need to tune the network ? | 01:21 |
| spencer | Raylz, for ipV6, the ip are not in 4 sets of numbers seperated by . | 01:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | saloto English only please | 01:21 |
| nsgn | jove: is it slow getting firefox on screen | 01:21 |
| johnjohn101 | will ubuntu run on a system with 2 GB ram? | 01:21 |
| nsgn | or slow loading your home page? | 01:21 |
| usser | nsgn, on livecd and when u initially install ubuntu it defaults to opensource driver, if your card is supported by ubuntu it'll prompt you to install a proprietary nvidia driver, if its not you can always get the driver from nvidia.com, heres instructions to install it manually from nvidia.com https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 01:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | johnjohn101 of course | 01:21 |
| spencer | usser, where i can look at how DNS resolves in 8.10? | 01:21 |
| nsgn | usser: awesome. just wanted to ensure i'd have smooth as butter playback on my HD tv | 01:21 |
| usser | spencer, with static ip its easy add your dns servers to /etc/resolv.conf | 01:22 |
| nsgn | :) | 01:22 |
| jken146 | johnjohn101: oh yes | 01:22 |
| usser | nsgn, what resolution? | 01:22 |
| drash | backgen: have you tried opening the file with the GIMP ? | 01:22 |
| furythor | Jack_Sparrow I think that it would not be easy to make such external HD to boot ubuntu, but not impossible either, propably difficulty would be getting that HD to look like a USB stick for most computers, and that would contain all needed information .... | 01:22 |
| jove | nsgn, open FF is okey, but launch any thing takes 5m - 10minutes | 01:22 |
| backgen | drash: yeh didn't work...gimme a sec i'll copy error message | 01:22 |
| usser | spencer, ie nameserver 111.111.111.111 | 01:22 |
| nsgn | usser: agh, i forget exact WxH. its 720p | 01:22 |
| backgen | drash: Error interpreting JPEG image file (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x1b 0xab) | 01:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | furythor the boot partition on the cd takes care of that | 01:22 |
| spencer | usser, that's EXACTLY it.. | 01:23 |
| nsgn | usser: i'm connecting via a DVI to HDMI cable | 01:23 |
| usser | nsgn, shouldnt be any problems, nvidia is usually pretty good at detecting resolutions, got pretty nonstandard 1360x768 detected out of the box | 01:23 |
| spencer | is that a bug with the new NetworkManager on not reporting the nameserver by default? | 01:23 |
| === kevin__ is now known as uvacav | ||
| vigo | Jack_Sparrow: Das U boot? | 01:23 |
| nsgn | usser: awesome. hows video playback under ubuntu? i've never used it for HD playback | 01:23 |
| nsgn | i'll need it to be absolutely beautiful for me to stick with it | 01:23 |
| nsgn | i'm planning to use VLC for playback | 01:24 |
| usser | spencer, if you defined your connections in /etc/network/interfaces, Network Manager igoners | 01:24 |
| Slart | backgen: what do you get if you run "file <filename of the image>" in a terminal? | 01:24 |
| n8tuser | spencer -> what does your /etc/resolv.conf file ahve? | 01:24 |
| usser | spencer, ignores it | 01:24 |
| jove | nsgn, do u have any idea ? | 01:24 |
| furythor | hmm | 01:24 |
| tuxedocurly | hmmm alright i followed this tutorial online to show me how to create a LAMP server (http://maketecheasier.com/setting-up-a-lamp-server-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/2008/08/06) and when i get to the step at the end where i go to http://localhost/wordpress to configure my settings... i get a "database error" why is this? Any ideas on how to fix it? | 01:24 |
| nsgn | jove: if ff loads fast but once you give it a URL it takes 5 to 10 mins to load a page you have a serious network issue | 01:24 |
| nsgn | or you're on 8kbps dialup :) | 01:24 |
| Raylz | spencer: so it would only use ipv6 if i deactivated it in the kernel right? | 01:24 |
| N-A | How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker? | 01:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ipv6 | 01:25 |

| backgen | slart: let me give it a shot | 01:25 |
| jove | nsgn, where should i fix it ? | 01:25 |
| furythor | I am thinking that newer computers do support boot from USB memory sticks, I am just wondering that would it be possible to get that external HD to look like one for most of new computers | 01:25 |
| drash | backgen: do you have imagemagick installed ? i'd suggest trying to convert it with the mogrify command to investigte further | 01:25 |
| backgen | slart: although wait whats the exact command to do that? (i'm a terminal noobie :D) | 01:25 |
| jken146 | furythor: it will look the same to the bios | 01:25 |
| nsgn | jove: what kind of internet connection do you have? how are you getting it into this computer? you gotta give us some relevant details for us to even start | 01:25 |
| tuxedocurly | Any ideas? =] | 01:25 |
| Slart | backgen: "file awesomeimage.jpg" or whatevr it's called | 01:25 |
| furythor | so basically it should be possible with usb2.0 | 01:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | agreed | 01:26 |
| xonpathos | I've got a problem: I installed Nexuiz (through Synaptic). When I start the game, it sort of acts like it isn't getting focus. anybody know what I'm talking about and/or how to fix it? | 01:26 |
| furythor | because transfer rate of 480 Megabits/second is enough for most usage | 01:26 |
| backgen | slart: i get "data" | 01:26 |
| jove | nsg, can I run netstat to show U ? | 01:26 |
| Slart | backgen: and you're sure it's an image? | 01:26 |
| backgen | slart: should be! its my friends drawings i believe | 01:27 |
| backgen | slart: most likely just scanned pictures | 01:27 |
| tuxedocurly | hmmm alright i followed this tutorial online to show me how to create a LAMP server (http://maketecheasier.com/setting-up-a-lamp-server-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/2008/08/06) and when i get to the step at the end where i go to http://localhost/wordpress to configure my settings... i get a "database error" why is this? Any ideas on how to fix it? | 01:27 |
| furythor | I am wondering, why I get unrendered or bad text in wine, when I did not have that problem in 8.04 | 01:27 |
| Slart | backgen: I guess you had better talk to your friend and ask what format it's in.. you could try opening it as a raw image in gimp but you would have to guess the height and width etc | 01:28 |

| usser | RyanP, well yea, its a cdrom you cant write to it, but why does it detect it as block device? | 01:43 |
| xonpathos | usser: strange... I just found that my problem is that the comp can't handle Nexuiz in 1024x768, yet under windows I can run it 1280x1024 no prob | 01:43 |
| usser | RyanP, this is weird | 01:43 |
| uvacav | Spirits-Sight: you really aren't supposed to use tables for layouts. use css. | 01:43 |
| RyanP | I don't know what a block device is, so no idea. | 01:43 |

| n8tuser | jove -> what exactly is the issue? | 01:43 |
| xonpathos | bobbyyg: but it's been a looooong time since I tried them | 01:43 |
| nsgn | jove: that didn't tell me much. i'm looking for whether it is running full or half duplex. beyond that you'll probably have to ask someone more knowledgeable about your specific hardware and the kernel | 01:43 |
| uvacav | tuxedocurly: you will need root access. you can run the text editor with sudo for example | 01:43 |
| usser | xonpathos, nexuiz is a bit weird, it doesnt perform well for on any os | 01:44 |
| PseudoOne | hey guys .. seems my computer is resolving all non-existent DNS records to a certain IP... e.g http://gdfgdfsgfdsgdfsgdf, what can I do to fix? | 01:44 |

| tuxedocurly | uvacav: how do i do that? | 01:44 |
| usser | xonpathos, try something like Enemy territory: quake wars, that'd be a more appropriate benchmark | 01:44 |
| nkei0 | Anyone want to help me with this? I'm trying to install the newest ati drivers and it's just not freaking working... I've installed them, ran aticonfig --initial and it changed the xorg and the directions said to reboot. I did and X wouldn't start, apparently the Xauthority file had an error with locking or unlocking, i'm not sure... | 01:44 |
| xonpathos | usser: that might explain it. I've not really had a problem running WoW in Wine (except a weird mouse issue) | 01:44 |
| tuxedocurly | uvacav: im sorry ha ha, im totally new to this | 01:44 |
| uvacav | tuxedocurly: well I dont know if this is really the recommended way, but its possible to just run 'sudo gedit' | 01:45 |

| uvacav | tuxedocurly: oops drash is correct | 01:45 |
| VoodooDance | Ahh... I found the app that handles video driver installation: envy | 01:45 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about envy-ng | 01:45 |
| tuxedocurly | ok! =D | 01:45 |
| usser | !envy | 01:45 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 01:45 |

| usser | !virtualbox | RyanP | 01:47 |
| ubottu | RyanP: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 01:47 |

Then run the command putting in your username for "some_user" and localhost for "some_host" (i think) . and then enter what you want your password to be in the inside old_password | 01:58 |

| jove | n8tuser, I paste it in the paste.ubuntu.com under name: jove | 01:59 |
| uvacav | tuxedocurly: from what I understand its basically that your password for access to the db has to formatted with some old style instead of the format thats current in mysql5 | 01:59 |
| usser | X-tremAl_Raven, that is the iwlwifi module iwl3945 prior to 8.10 ubuntu used ipw | 01:59 |

| WebcamWonder | bigmb: g++ or .cpp files | 02:25 |
| N-A | mikesholle1: What I've got in there is devices (where I've got everything on pulseaudio) and the sounds (the different sound events that I want it to play, but that it doesn't but instead just beeps the internal speaker) | 02:25 |
| WebcamWonder | bigmb: for* | 02:26 |

| plazia | What is the canonical method for installing Firefox extensions for which no ".deb" package exists? Is it to simply let Firefox install the ".xpi" file from the add-on site? and how will this be managed in subsequent upgrades of the main Firefox package? | 02:26 |
| nsgn | mercutio22: really? wow...sounds like i'll have a fun time browsing | 02:26 |
| N-A | _VIM_: Where in sound prefs, do you know (in intrepid)? | 02:26 |
| WebcamWonder | plazia: Handled pretty well. Firefox manages its own addons then | 02:26 |
| bigmb | ok, it doesn't recognize the pthread library. Do I have to install this for cpp programs? | 02:27 |
| _VIM_ | plazia: just install extensions normally | 02:27 |
| mercutio22 | nsgn> try it out a couple times. Right click some links and come back | 02:27 |
| plazia | WebcamWonder, so it's all cool to install .xpi files and I shouldn't stay awake at night worrying about the consequences? | 02:27 |

| X-tremAl_Raven | <usser> http://pastebin.com/d3b48b210 | 02:30 |
| mikesholle1 | N-A: I would imagine, with the way Hardy is set up, that it's the same format. Disable the beep first, then add the sounds you wish to play in for the specific errors. In Hardy, we have a check box to disable the system beep, which is the command I just sent you. Then you have to find somewhere in your system preferences or administration a place where all your system sounds show up. | 02:30 |
| HoNgOuRu | is there any application in linux to open "ntuser.dat" file or the SOFTWARE file of windows? | 02:30 |

| usser | X-tremAl_Raven, it doesnt look like the driver from the distribution, did u install backports-modules or compiled the driver for intellinuxwireless.com at some point? | 02:37 |
| VoodooDance | All, I've been trying to install the 180.22 NVIDIA driver... every time I try to do it, following every forum thread I can find I still get the error with the mismatched kernel module version.. | 02:37 |
| bigmb | WebcamWonder: Ubuntu 8.04 | 02:38 |
| WebcamWonder | bigmb: I don't know. Haven't worked with pthreads | 02:38 |
| VoodooDance | Do I have to sacrifice chickens and make incantations or something>? | 02:38 |

| N-A | _VIM_: curious, that does nothing on mine :-S | 02:38 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: did you try the restriected driver manager (jockey-gtk)? | 02:38 |
| WebcamWonder | bigmb: Are you have glibc package? :S Weird... are you sure it insatlled it? | 02:38 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <usser> installed backport-modules. Should I remove them? | 02:38 |
| _VIM_ | N-A: or the 'new school' way of doing it maybe something like sudo invoke-rc.d pulseaudio restart? | 02:38 |
| plazia | sacrificing chickens does sound appealing. | 02:38 |
| usser | X-tremAl_Raven, yea | 02:38 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, no, I haven't seen that one in a forum... how do I do it? | 02:38 |
| bigmb | WebcamWonder: Yeah, I installed. I just put .h and it compiled fine...I'm going to make sure the functions work fine. Silly mistakes | 02:38 |
| N-A | How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker? Any troubleshooting help appreciated... | 02:38 |

| Planet_x | Need advice about an AirCruiser N300 wireless card on Ubuntu 8.10. Having trouble installing madwifi drivers as in i dont know how.. seems there are generic drivers working as it works but i need the mad wifi for injection. thanks for help on how to install | 02:39 |
| WebcamWonder | bigmb: No problems. Thats what I am here for :P | 02:39 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: open up the terminal, type the following: gksu jockey-gtk | 02:39 |

| mikesholle1 | Can anyone help me create a startup script? | 02:39 |
| VoodooDance | ok.. I need to reset my video drivers... dong that as quick as I can | 02:39 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: what do you mean reset? | 02:39 |
| yoyoned2 | mikesholle1: for what? | 02:39 |
| VoodooDance | envyng -t | 02:39 |
| VoodooDance | remove the manually installed driver and use envyng to install the packaged one. | 02:40 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: if I'm not mistaken envyng is no longer supported | 02:40 |
| niku | mikesholle1- the easiest way to do it is look at /etc/init.d and find the simplest startup script you can and edit it | 02:40 |
| Titan8990 | !envyng | VoodooDance | 02:40 |
| ubottu | VoodooDance: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 02:40 |
| ZiRiS | Hi. Anyone home? | 02:40 |
| mikesholle1 | yoyoned2: My Wifi card doesn't work by default with 8.04 so I downloaded something to remedy the problem. However, every time I restart, I seem to lose the card again and have to open terminal back up and rerun the commands. | 02:40 |
| yoyoned2 | mikesholle1: i agree with niku,copy and edit an existing one | 02:41 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, well it will get me usable video drivers | 02:41 |
| VoodooDance | then I can try the jockey-gtk | 02:41 |
| ZiRiS | Anyone else still running 7.04? Tried an update? | 02:41 |
| niku | /etc/init.d/vbesave looks like a nice simple one to munge | 02:41 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: I have used it with good results as well, but like the bot says, it should be a last resort | 02:41 |
| WebcamWonder | VoodooDance: Are you asking for help after a kernel upgrade broke envy? | 02:41 |
| furythor | what could cause my font problem, as multiple applications are affected by it, but not all | 02:41 |

| mikesholle1 | niku: so all the files in that directory are startup files? | 02:42 |
| redcap | I've setup kvpnc to run a vpn to a remote box, ifconfig tells me that I now have a IP address on that subnet on the ppp0 interface. However, when I try and ping the machines on the remote network, nothing happens. Is there someway to state what interface I want to use to be able to do stuff like ssh? | 02:42 |
| niku | those are all startup scripts and then there are different runlevels which call them | 02:42 |
| mikesholle1 | niku: do you have a recommendatino for which one I should use? | 02:42 |
| niku | that vbesave one is pretty good | 02:43 |
| ZiRiS | Anyone else getting 404 not found on about 7 or 10 of the files it's trying to fetch while trying to find out if I need an update? I'm running 7.04 | 02:43 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <usser> Done. Now what should I do to check? | 02:43 |

| hikenboot | hello typing metacity --replace & causes title bar to appear while enabling compiz causes it to disapear...How do i fix this so it always appears? | 02:54 |
| yoyoned2 | Mike9022: just have the data(docs, media) stored on a network server | 02:54 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, no, I boot to console, but when I start gdm it fails to start the x server | 02:55 |

| _VIM_ | linux_guy: i was affriad of that...you're more than likely going to have to use the alternative cd, and do a minimal install with like a minimal window manager like Fluxbox | 02:57 |
| linux_guy | can i install xfce to a flash drive and do it that way? | 02:57 |
| _VIM_ | !minimal | linux_guy | 02:57 |
| ubottu | linux_guy: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:57 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: to fix it so it will boot, make a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf then edit it so the line that says: Driver "nvidia" to Driver "nv" | 02:57 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: once you are back in the GUI we can work on getting that cleaned up | 02:58 |

| ubottu | Fortex: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 03:03 |
| _VIM_ | in this day and age, yes everything has to be digital... | 03:03 |
| frenchy | Titan8990 thats one i was looking at but i read they were only offering it online somewhere but theie website says nothing of this | 03:03 |
| Fortex | I'm having a little problem | 03:03 |
| Doleragon | Greetings all, does somebody knows why I can't use any sound application in the same time if I use Second Life viewer ? got a message saying that something gone wrong with Xine, but any sound program launched alone works fine. | 03:03 |
| Fortex | When the CPU is running really high, the fans don't kick in faster | 03:03 |
| Fortex | My laptop becomes an oven on my lap after. | 03:04 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Fortex: its not a ubuntu problem i think | 03:04 |
| Fortex | I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 | 03:04 |
| Fortex | DIFH-iceroot: It didn't happen with Windows XP PRO SP3 / Vista SP1 | 03:04 |
| Guest28464 | fortex, bios controls your fans im pretty sure | 03:04 |
| Guest28464 | get a chill mat | 03:04 |
| Fortex | Hm. | 03:05 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Fortex: ubuntu is not handling your fan-speed | 03:05 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Fortex: its the bios/hardware/sensors | 03:05 |
| Fortex | well it's odd that it happened only when I had it installed. | 03:05 |
| Guest28464 | walmart $20 | 03:05 |
| Fortex | and not when otherwise. | 03:05 |
| Guest28464 | is your in us of course | 03:05 |
| xonpathos | fortex: I seem to recall a bug report about something like that... but think it was more general than just ubuntu... gimme a sec | 03:06 |
| frenchy | actually i do have an ubuntu related question are there any wireless cards compatible with ubuntu/linux offered by phone comnpanies | 03:06 |
| Fortex | Alright. | 03:06 |
| frenchy | like the wireless broadband service | 03:06 |
| dbenx86 | i wanna ask about infrared modem | 03:07 |
| Fujisan | hello | 03:07 |
| Vorondil | Howdy, #ubuntu. I'm curious about X11 forwarding. I use matlab for some school work, and rather than buy a copy of it, or use a Free work-alike, I like to ssh to a school machine that has matlab on it. When I need the gui for viewing graphs and junk, I do it with ssh -X. My question is, how come it's as slow as it is? I, nor the school machine seem to be bandwidth-bound, and I get sub 50ms latency to it. Where's the hold up, and is there an | 03:07 |
| Fujisan | can i use the ubuntu bot through aim or msn? | 03:08 |
| Vorondil | If that got cutoff anywhere, let me know. :-P | 03:08 |
| _VIM_ | x forwarding is exremely slow... you're better off with VNC if you can | 03:08 |
| WebcamWonder | Vorondil: Where's the hold up, and is there a ... lost :P | 03:08 |
| WebcamWonder | Vorondil: And you can use -C for compression, but yes, it is generally slow | 03:08 |
| Vorondil | "Where's the hold up, and is there anything I can do about it?" (end) | 03:08 |
| _VIM_ | god WebcamWonder is the flag master LOL geesh is there a flag you dont know about? ;) | 03:09 |
| Fujisan | can i use the ubuntu bot through aim or msn? | 03:09 |
| tdawgedogg | hey how do i terminate x server and all open GL applications so i can install new nvidia drivers? | 03:09 |
| xonpathos | fortex: check: http://linuxrevolutions.org/2008/05/13/ubuntu-804-laptop-heat-solved/ | 03:09 |
| Vorondil | WebcamWonder: Like, is it just making a crapton of round-trips or something? | 03:09 |
| unop | Vorondil, X is not bandwidth friendly -- and there's the overhead of encryption over the SSH connection | 03:09 |
| furythor1 | hmm, I think that my font problem with wine is somehoe related to compiz | 03:10 |
| xonpathos | fortex: it's basically enabling ubuntu to monitor your temp and adjust things accordingly | 03:10 |
| WebcamWonder | _VIM_: aptitude -vvvv :) | 03:10 |
| furythor1 | is there any way to entirely toggle compiz off ? | 03:10 |
| _VIM_ | :) | 03:10 |
| Fortex | xonpathos: why didn't they add this in 8.10 :P | 03:10 |
| xonpathos | fortex: was just about to type I dunno why in hell it isn't the default, lol | 03:10 |
| Titan8990 | furythor1: from terminal: metacity --replace | 03:10 |
| WebcamWonder | Vorondil: The entire X-forwarding technique itself is slow. And I am not aware of any mechanism that can make ti speed it up | 03:11 |
| Titan8990 | furythor1: or disable extra effects from right click -> change desktop background, far right tab | 03:11 |
| Vorondil | unop: That's just it, my gkrellm is showing hardly any bandwidth usage. Thus my confusion. | 03:11 |
| Guest28464 | can someone please help me, everytime I try to check my email, or just recently i tried to use k9copy, i get a message that pops up requesting the default password for the keyring something or other. Does anyone know what is happening? | 03:11 |
| Titan8990 | furythor1: right click on desktop that is | 03:11 |
| Fortex | xonpathos: Well someone should spam the ubuntu path with that so they add it | 03:11 |
| Neros | Hey can someone help me with installing the JDK on Ubuntu 8.10 with support for 32 and 64 bit? | 03:11 |
| Vorondil | WebcamWonder: Hrm, I gotcha. | 03:11 |
| Fortex | xonpathos: Thanks. | 03:11 |
| xonpathos | fortex: but I've only been on ubuntu about 5 days now... I've learned the first place to look for any problem I'm having is the bug tracker, lol | 03:11 |
| dzup | hi can some one helpme with googleearth?? here is my paste: http://pastebin.ca/1327687 | 03:11 |
| xonpathos | fortex: np | 03:11 |
| laughyn1nj4 | anyone know any specifics about the --newer-mtime option issued to tar? | 03:11 |
| EtFb | I've got a new laptop running Intrepid, and it's not handling suspend/hibernate very well. How do I begin debugging that? | 03:11 |
| unop | Vorondil, what i mean is its worse off compared to things like VNC | 03:12 |
| unop | Vorondil, but the key overhead is the encryption, that's what causes the slowdown | 03:12 |
| Titan8990 | EtFb: your not going to get very far with that unless you are using a toshiba or dell, which are the only that seems to suspend/hibernate well | 03:12 |
| Vorondil | unop: Mm, I see. | 03:12 |
| Mohikan | hi. | 03:12 |
| frank23 | Is anyone who is running gnome with dual screen seeing this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-panel/+bug/311027 | 03:12 |
| Titan8990 | EtFb: because they are the only ones with support in the 2.6.27 kernel | 03:13 |
| EtFb | Titan8990: It's a Toshiba, like my previous one (which had no problems) | 03:13 |
| furythor1 | Yeah, I did disable those effects and it made texture to appear, but still hardly readable | 03:13 |
| unop | Vorondil, this might help you - http://samat.org/weblog/20060508-best-ssh-options-for-x11-forwarding.html | 03:13 |
| EtFb | Titan8990: Toshiba Satellite A300. A very nice machine except for that. | 03:13 |
| Titan8990 | EtFb: search synaptic for toshiba utilities | 03:13 |
| WebcamWonder | frank23: Any specific reason? If someone is experiencing that bug, he/she will report it to launchpad, and confirm it as "Me too" | 03:14 |
| Paddy_EIRE | furythor1: have you actually installed the correct ms fonts? | 03:14 |
| dbenx86 | howdy, i have a mobile phone (nokia 6610i). | 03:14 |
| dbenx86 | can i connect to the internet using ubuntu with this phone? | 03:14 |
| Vorondil | unop: Ah, I'll check it out, thanks. :) | 03:14 |
| Titan8990 | EtFb: http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba | 03:14 |
| EtFb | dbenx86: I've connected successfully using a Nokia N95 as a modem, so I would expect it's at least possible. | 03:15 |
| furythor1 | going to install now | 03:15 |
| nsgn | ok, i've gotten Ubuntu all installed and activated the nonfree nvidia driver | 03:15 |
| nsgn | however | 03:15 |
| Titan8990 | EtFb: you are looking for those utils | 03:15 |
| nsgn | while video playback is smooth | 03:15 |
| frank23 | WebcamWonder: I confirmed the bug. I'm just wondering if everyone who has dual screen is affected by it. | 03:15 |
| nsgn | it still has sync issues/tears | 03:15 |
| dbenx86 | unfortunately my mob phone dont have bluetooth | 03:15 |
| Titan8990 | EtFb: I use gentoo on my toshiba so I can comment on ubuntu specifics | 03:15 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !enter | nsgn | 03:15 |
| ubottu | nsgn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:15 |
| furythor1 | Yeah, I got newest version now | 03:15 |
| WebcamWonder | frank23: I don't think you will find people like that. It is just best to wait for upstream to confirm it | 03:15 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <usser> Still nothing works. Any suggestions? | 03:15 |
| dbenx86 | only have infrared connection | 03:16 |
| EtFb | Titan8990: Thanks - I | 03:16 |
| furythor1 | nsgn are you certain that you have decent codecs installed ? | 03:16 |
| EtFb | Titan8990: Thanks - I'll read it. | 03:16 |
| furythor1 | because those can impact decode(display of video alot9 | 03:16 |
| nsgn | furythor1: it's via flash10-nonfree on hulu.com in firefox | 03:16 |
| Xaero1 | Hey, I'm kind of a noob here but I'm looking at upgrading the kernel in 8.10, I've got the kernel compiled from source, but I'm not sure what step to take next. | 03:16 |
| nsgn | furythor1: i'll test in VNC with a downloaded file now. i still need it working on hulu though. i use that a lot | 03:17 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: use a distro that supports vanilla kernels | 03:17 |
| nsgn | and i really dont want to go back to windows on this machine | 03:17 |
| furythor1 | on some website ? | 03:17 |
| frank23 | WebcamWonder: Yeah I just confirmed it upstream too. original bug reported 2007-12-21. there were 2 duplicates as well. nothing moved since then | 03:17 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: because it is unlikely you will get that to work in ubuntu | 03:17 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: ubuntu does a lot of patching to their kernel | 03:17 |
| nsgn | furythor1: *VLC. god i did so much work in VNC today | 03:18 |
| Xaero1 | Titan8990 I see, so I'm probably not going to be able to upgrade the kernel to the latest then? | 03:18 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: I would say gentoo or slackware, but there are others | 03:18 |
| seacnboy | hello! firefox can not download,who know why? | 03:18 |
| EtFb | Titan8990: Looks like that Toshiba page is six years out of date, sadly. Never mind, you've given me exactly what I need: an idea of what to search for. | 03:18 |
| Gnea | !kernel | Xaero1 | 03:18 |
| ubottu | Xaero1: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 03:18 |
| Titan8990 | EtFb: I still use those utils, they work even if they are 6 years old :) | 03:18 |
| EtFb | seacnboy: Given the amount of information you've supplied, I can confidently say it's a case of demonic possession. Take your computer to a priest immediately. | 03:18 |
| Xaero1 | Gnea: thanks for the link, I'll check it out :) | 03:19 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | I got Ubuntu 8.10 and Intel 3945ABG wireless which is not working. Could anyone help? | 03:19 |
| ZiRiS | Ahem. I've, ah, got a newbie question. I need to edit a text file, but don't have permissions. So how do I do that form a command line? | 03:19 |
| Xaero1 | X-tremAI_Raven: have you tried compiling the linux_wireless drivers? | 03:19 |
| Gnea | !wireless | X-tremAl_Raven | 03:19 |
| Xaero1 | the latest ones? | 03:19 |
| ubottu | X-tremAl_Raven: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 03:19 |
| ZiRiS | I know I can use sudo, but, what else do I need? | 03:19 |
| WebcamWonder | ZiRiS: sudo nano -w <file_name> | 03:19 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: are you actually trying to 2.6.28 kernel?? | 03:19 |
| dzup | http://pastebin.ca/1327687 i need help here | 03:19 |
| unop | ZiRiS, or. gksudo gedit /path/to/file | 03:19 |
| Xaero1 | yes Titan8990 I am | 03:19 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <ubottu> Read it. Still nothing. | 03:20 |
| WebcamWonder | ZiRiS: the -w is my annoyance with nano, you don't have to particularly use it | 03:20 |
| Xaero1 | I've got it compiled to binaries my only problem is that I'm too much of a noob to setup a vmlinuz | 03:20 |
| Xaero1 | er | 03:20 |
| ZiRiS | thank you, unop, that's the one I needed, gksudo | 03:20 |
| Xaero1 | initrd | 03:20 |
| _VIM_ | -w omg WebcamWonder lol there goes another flag :) | 03:20 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: perhaps you could explain the problem here, in more detail | 03:20 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: I believe that is still considered a development release, it is feature in the ubuntu 9.04 if you are feel up to it | 03:20 |
| tty01 | anyone familiar with modsecurity for apache? | 03:21 |
| WebcamWonder | _VIM_: I am only a newb in Linux. Quite literally :P | 03:21 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: that is another thing, vmlinuz and initrd are made for kernels that are not custom compiled.... its just overhead you don't need | 03:21 |
| Gnea | tty01: the people in #apache probably are | 03:21 |
| tty01 | no one talks in there | 03:21 |
| tty01 | and i need to patch a vulnerability damnit | 03:21 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: sort of makes the kernel "one size fits all" | 03:21 |
| Gnea | you have to be patient. | 03:21 |
| Xaero1 | Titan8990 I'm trying to do this with as little reconstruction of my system as possible, would 9.04 install on top of 8.10 without overwriting to much? | 03:21 |
| eper3z | hey guys getting this usb sound card working has been a real problem for me, im running 8.10 Intre..http://paste.ubuntu.com/113880/ any suggestions? | 03:22 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: no, and it still beta, it is likely you will run in to issues | 03:22 |
| furythor1 | what could cause that font corruption in mostly wine programs ? | 03:22 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | More detail: http://pastebin.com/d1b33beb http://pastebin.com/d7bb08c1b http://pastebin.com/d63093dd3 - these are iwconfig, ifconfig and lsmod | grep iwl | 03:22 |
| Titan8990 | !jaunty | Xaero1 | 03:22 |
| Gnea | tty01: sometimes it can take minutes or hours before i get a response - that's just how it is sometimes | 03:22 |
| ubottu | Xaero1: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 03:22 |
| jigp | hello guys what is the alternative of notepad++ in ubuntu 8.04? and also what are the alternative of dreamweaver and photoshop for ubuntu? | 03:22 |
| ZiRiS | I stand corrected, that didn't work, and I'm sorry, i missed the command about nano, can you please copy paste that for me? | 03:22 |
| genewitch | is anyone here intimate with libpcap? i have to use a --with-pcap= when i configure, and i am wondering where to get a list of all the possible values of that variable | 03:22 |
| Xaero1 | Titan8990 when I finished compiling my kernel and ran the sudo make 0=/home/xaero/build/kernel install it installed binaries to the /boot directory, I should just have to add it to grub to get it to boot correct? | 03:22 |
| ZiRiS | I'm in BitchX and don't know how to scroll up to get it myself. | 03:22 |
| Gnea | jigp: gedit, screem, gimp | 03:23 |
| WebcamWonder | genewitch: check the help of the configure itself. ./configure --help | 03:23 |
| jigp | Gnea : you can code php in gedit? | 03:23 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: Ubuntu comes of with the wierdest, most off the wall ways to accomplish those tasks.... | 03:23 |
| _VIM_ | notepad++ would be bluefish alternative | 03:23 |
| tty01 | genwitch the only value you can pass to --with-pcap would be the location of pcap | 03:23 |
| Gnea | jigp: you can code php in any text editor | 03:23 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: I have never took the time becuase that knowledge does not carry over to other distros and is pretty worthless in ubuntu | 03:24 |
| genewitch | tty01: i'm trying to cross-compile libpcap0.8 | 03:24 |
| ZiRiS | Ahem. I've, ah, got a newbie question. I need to edit a text file, but don't have permissions. So how do I do that from a command line? | 03:24 |
| Gnea | jigp: altbough, I prefer vim or gvim | 03:24 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: but, it is worth a try, just write the grub entry | 03:24 |
| ZiRiS | I know I can use sudo, but, what else do I need? | 03:24 |
| carpii_ | ZiRis, sudo nano filename | 03:24 |
| Gnea | *although | 03:24 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, I've finally got back to into gui | 03:24 |
| ZiRiS | Thank You, carpii! | 03:24 |
| Xaero1 | Titan8990, so basically if I'm trying to get a different kernel for F@H purposes (the kernel that 8.10 comes with lower folding performance DRASTICALLY) I might be better off with a distro switch? | 03:24 |
| tty01 | ah thats a different story | 03:24 |
| jigp | Gnea : how to run the file.php after using those applications? | 03:24 |
| carpii_ | Ctrl-O to save, Ctrl-X to quit :p | 03:25 |
| niku | show of hands - how many people still compile their own kernels? | 03:25 |
| carpii_ | not me | 03:25 |
| Gnea | jigp: you don't 'run' a php file, it's like an .html file - it has to be interpretted | 03:25 |
| carpii_ | especially not on ubuntu | 03:25 |
| * Gnea cannot show his hand on irc, it is physically impossible | 03:25 | |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: well, that would depend on other needs that you have | 03:25 |
| niku | Gnea - actually, you could run it if you specified an interpreter #!$(which php) or whatever | 03:25 |
| carpii_ | you can still run a php file as a script. Its not always run from a webserver | 03:25 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: did you have to do anything other change that line in xorg? | 03:26 |
| carpii_ | or just php-cli filename | 03:26 |
| VoodooDance | yeah.. had to use envyng to get back up and running. | 03:26 |
| Fujisan | can i use the ubuntu bot through aim or msn? | 03:26 |
| VoodooDance | so Im probably completely fubar now :) | 03:26 |
| Xaero1 | Titan8990 should I use the uuid or drop to device names in my grub for my kernel compile? | 03:26 |
| frank23 | Xaero1: Why is there a drastic performance difference for F@H? And how much is 'drastic'? just curious | 03:26 |
| Gnea | well, yes, that's true, but if you're doing it for a web app, you might as well be using a browser and a server for that purpose | 03:26 |
| tty01 | compiling your own kernel teaches you a lot! | 03:26 |
| jigp | Gnea : how to view my coded file.php? just like in dreamweaver I can view the output | 03:27 |
| carpii_ | maybe Gnea, but its also often you want to run maintenance php scripts from cron jobs | 03:27 |
| carpii_ | but yeah youre right, most likely he wants to run it from a browser | 03:27 |
| Fujisan | can i use the ubuntu bot through aim or msn? iteration; Please answer, even if you don't know the answer, thanks in advance...r | 03:27 |
| Xaero1 | There is an incompatibility with the way F@H starts its subprocesses in SMP and manages their cpu usage, it reduces the Point-Per-Day output of F@H 20-30% on dual-core processors and more for quad and i7 platforms | 03:27 |
| Gnea | jigp: well, I'm not familiar with dreamweaver, but you can easily open a terminal and type: cat file.php | 03:27 |
| _VIM_ | Fujisan: you mean ubottu ? no... ubottu is a python bot made for IRC it's called Supybot. | 03:27 |
| genewitch | niku: i've had to do a custom kernel for an older laptop every release of ubuntu, to get the mouse to work properly, and with 8.04 to get the machine to boot at all | 03:27 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: personaly preference, they both have ther +s and -s, I use the device name | 03:27 |
| Fujisan | ok _VIM_ | 03:28 |
| Fujisan | thanks | 03:28 |
| _VIM_ | np | 03:28 |
| ari_stress | hi guys, when we format using vfat, why it runs so fast? as if it's not formatting at all, is it normal? | 03:28 |
| Fujisan | so it's not possible to pipe messages from python to aim? | 03:28 |
| Titan8990 | Xaero1: UUIDs can change when moving ports that the drive is plugged in to, device names can change when adding additional devices | 03:28 |
| niku | ok, I guess maybe it does have some validity | 03:28 |
| _VIM_ | Fujisan: never say not possible... | 03:28 |
| VoodooDance | tine more minutes of this kind of crap and I'm deleting this distro and going Linux from Scratch | 03:28 |
| _VIM_ | just difficult :) | 03:28 |
| Gnea | ari_stress: it's kind of like choosing NTFS (quick) or FAT32 (quick) during a WinXP install | 03:29 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: Linux from Scrath..... Gentoo ftw | 03:29 |
| frank23 | Xaero1: Is it a kernel problem more than a F@H problem? (Still single core here, so I guess no problem for me) | 03:29 |
| genewitch | Fujisan: aim as in aol instant messenger? have you tried looking at chimmy's aim client? | 03:29 |
| nellmathew | hey anyone know what's up with intrepid asking for wpa password over and over? (broadcom).. | 03:29 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Gnea> More detail: http://pastebin.com/d1b33beb http://pastebin.com/d7bb08c1b http://pastebin.com/d63093dd3 - these are iwconfig, ifconfig and lsmod | grep iwl | 03:29 |
| Xaero1 | Frank23: Its an ubuntu-specific problem more than a kernel problem, and its a kernel problem more than it is a F@H problem | 03:29 |
| Fujisan | nope i havent genewitch i have been using pidgin and kopete | 03:29 |
| VoodooDance | Gentoo's code base is managed by 12 year old monkies | 03:29 |
| genewitch | Fujisan: are you trying to make a bot? | 03:29 |
| frank23 | Xaero1: I see | 03:29 |
| Fujisan | no trying to use the ubotto bot through aim | 03:30 |
| Xaero1 | Frank23: other people running other distros with the same kernel have not run into the same performance drop, although it is still noticeably lower than older kernels | 03:30 |
| genewitch | Fujisan: bots usually don't run in a graphical environment | 03:30 |
| Fujisan | is it possible to forward ubottos messages from irc in PM to aim? | 03:30 |
| _VIM_ | Fujisan: ask in #ubuntu-bots | 03:30 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: please list the methods that you tried to install you nvidia driver | 03:30 |
| Fujisan | ok ty | 03:31 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, envyng, and the binary from NVIDIA. | 03:31 |
| [biabia] | please any help installing iptables modules ip_nat_ftp and ip_conntrack_ftp ? | 03:31 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: nicely done. :) what is the result of this command: iwlist wlan0 scan | 03:31 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Xaero1> No, I didn't try to compile linux-wireless drivers. Believed that "native" Ubuntu modules should be fine. | 03:31 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, Oh and jockey-gtk 30 minutes ago | 03:31 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: (you may need to run it a few times) | 03:31 |
| _VIM_ | Fujisan: you wanna talk to jussi01 if he's around... | 03:31 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: you need run the nvidia script with --uninstall | 03:31 |
| VoodooDance | I did that once, but I will do it again. | 03:32 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Gnea> wlan0 No scan results | 03:32 |
| loner269 | hi all | 03:32 |

| Xaero1 | frank23: for example my i7 system is only getting 1800 PPD, where as other people's i7 systems with similar/lower specs are getting upwards of 7k PPD | 03:32 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: could you paste the output of the dmesg command? | 03:32 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: *pastebin | 03:32 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, uninstall runs successfuly stating "There is no NVIDIA driver installed" | 03:32 |
| nellmathew | hey anyone know what's up with intrepid asking for wpa password over and over? (broadcom).. | 03:32 |
| Gnea | nellmathew: tried saving it? | 03:33 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: and the envy uninstaller again | 03:33 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Gnea> http://pastebin.com/d5ae67bbf | 03:33 |
| nellmathew | gnea: yeah.. it's saved, i used fwcutter, it's connecting (first dot turns green) but then prompts again.. i saved the correct password | 03:33 |
| loner269 | my sounds screwd but on a + side my cam works yea lol | 03:34 |
| Fortex | Khello again | 03:34 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, "attempting to remove the packages" | 03:34 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: hrmmmmm, that is not a good message.... checking | 03:35 |
| nellmathew | gnea: OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after 3 weeks it finally works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all i had to do was disable wireless and renable this WHOLE TIME! | 03:35 |
| Gnea | nellmathew: cheers :) | 03:35 |
| Fortex | I'm having another problem, videos run fine in different apps but when I fullscreen them alot of frames skip, they're not HD or anything, normal small and crappy vids do that too (within diferent apps) and my nVidia 8400m GS is badass, any suggestions | 03:35 |
| frank23 | Xaero1: I see | 03:35 |
| genewitch | Fortex: what drivers are you using? ubuntu's or nvidia's | 03:36 |
| drgnu | Hello trying to tweak a Motion Computing LE1600 to get it to work. How does one make an on-screen keyboard show up during login, how do I get it's buttons to be recognized and do something? | 03:36 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: is it hanging there? | 03:36 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, lots of log msgs but it appears to have completed. | 03:36 |
| Fortex | genewitch: This is the part where I'll go like no idea. | 03:36 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: now uninstall from jockey-gtk and reboot | 03:36 |
| genewitch | Fortex: go to nvidia.com, grab the linux drivers for your card, follow the directions. | 03:37 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: okay, what is the output of this command: lshw -C network | 03:37 |
| Fortex | Hokay, sounds good. | 03:37 |
| Fortex | thanks. | 03:37 |
| genewitch | Fortex: there's a part where you have to close xwindows, you do that by saving your work, closing all windows, pressing ctrl-alt-backspace, and | 03:37 |
| genewitch | Fortex: selecting "failsafe terminal" as your session | 03:37 |
| genewitch | then run the nvidia.sh script that you downloaded from nvidia. | 03:37 |
| brettley_ | ok i have a delema, ive already looked online for it, but arch isnt seeing the rackmount unit of harddrives (the controller is LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c875) | 03:37 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, the box in jockey-gtk is unchecked | 03:38 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Gnea> http://pastebin.com/d426a9219 | 03:38 |
| genewitch | Fortex: by typing chmod +x NVI<whateveritis>; then ./NVIDI<whateveritis> | 03:38 |
| genewitch | Fortex: make sense? | 03:38 |
| brettley_ | i want to install a partition to the rack row, but i cant because it cant see it in cfdisk | 03:38 |
| Fortex | genewitch: will probably will once I find the driver. | 03:38 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: alright, reboot, then attempt to install via jockey-gtk again | 03:39 |
| genewitch | Fortex: ok, well highlight me if you have an issue. | 03:39 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: make a backup of your current xorg before you do so you can just restore it if it doesn't work | 03:39 |
| Fortex | genewitch: Gracias | 03:39 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: okay - these may seem like really odd questions, but please bare with me. :) is this a laptop? if so, is there an on/off switch for the wireless device on it somewhere? | 03:39 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: the reason I ask: *-network DISABLED | 03:40 |
| Xaero1 | X-tremAl_Raven: which wireless card did you have again, I may have had the same one? | 03:40 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, ok... I'm back into the GUI. | 03:41 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: try jockey-gtk again now | 03:41 |
| tdawgedogg | someone i need help...I just attempted to install new nvida drivers and now when i restart its just a big black screen. I can control alt f1 and get to a command prompt though....what next? | 03:41 |
| tritium | tdawgedogg: you installed the ubuntu-packaged drivers? | 03:41 |
| Titan8990 | a lot of people with nvidia driver problems tonight.... | 03:42 |
| RoboPhred | urg, it seems all variants of linux abhore video drivers, came here for the same thing | 03:42 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, restarting | 03:42 |
| tdawgedogg | i went to nvida.com download the x86_64 drivers | 03:42 |
| tdawgedogg | then ran the .run file | 03:42 |
| RoboPhred | in the new xorg config setup, how do I manually set screen resolutions | 03:42 |
| Titan8990 | tdawgedogg: you need to run that again but with --uninstall | 03:42 |
| Xaero1 | tdawgedogg: it sounds like you have a bad xorg.conf try running sudo nvidia-xconfig and going through the options | 03:42 |
| loner269 | genewitch, i got a problem got a few to help me or no ? | 03:42 |

| Rodolfo | Hi! I'm trying to install Ubuntu (any 8.04 or 8.10 {32 and 64}) on a computer that I have just build, but it hangs at " loading, please wait" after rebooting from another OS and choose "install" . I have been waiting for as long as 30 minuts and nothing else happens. Any ideas. Thanks. | 03:45 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, ok... the driver version is 169.12, which is less than the 173 that was installed and not the 180.22 I'd like to install :D | 03:45 |
| joshjtl | ooof, i am beginning to have an unflattering opinion of the fedora community | 03:45 |
| nanotube | joshjtl: how come? | 03:45 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Titan8990> I know. It worked in 7.04 with some manipulations (i.e. not otb), and stopped working since 8.04. | 03:45 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: what kernel? uname -r | 03:45 |
| tdawgedogg | so how do i install the 180.22 nvidia drivers..I need them for gnome-do | 03:45 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: all 2.6.xx kernels have support for that card | 03:46 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Gnea> 2.6.27-11-generic | 03:46 |
| nanotube | Rodolfo: does it work when you choose "boot livecd" instead of install? | 03:46 |
| tritium | VoodooDance, tdawgedogg: 180 is in the repositories | 03:46 |

| hospodg | is there any way to get skype to ring on my laptop speakers while my headset is plugged in anyone?? pls help pls pls pls pls pls | 03:47 |
| Rodolfo | naotube yes I did | 03:47 |
| tritium | VoodooDance: you can also use synaptic or aptitude, of course | 03:47 |
| Thurin1 | hospodg, That's a hardware issue - not software. | 03:47 |

| izinucs | when transferring a file from one ubuntu machine to another via ssh, what is the correct syntax? is using scp the right tool? | 03:48 |
| loner269 | ok guess not no worries im off thanks anyway genewitch | 03:48 |
| VoodooDance | tritium, tried that but it says it couldn't find the package | 03:48 |
| nanotube | Rodolfo: hrm... well, could be anything really... you can try an alternate boot cd, see if that works out better for you. | 03:48 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: you have to enable restricted repositories if the bot is to believed | 03:48 |
| tdawgedogg | i ran the .run file again...but i cant uninstall....how do i get back into x so i can download via symnatic | 03:48 |
| fuzzeh | does anyone know alot about the grub bootloader? | 03:48 |
| nsgn | ok, that worked well (NOT). my new ubuntu install never wakes up from sleep | 03:48 |
| fuzzeh | i think i broke mine | 03:48 |
| nsgn | when i press sleep it shows a blinking _ and will never return | 03:48 |
| Titan8990 | fuzzeh: what do you need help with? | 03:48 |
| Ryou | wow | 03:48 |
| fuzzeh | actually im pretty sure | 03:48 |

| Ryou | Hey guys - I got a question | 03:49 |
| Rodolfo | nanotube thanks! | 03:49 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: can you sudo rmmod iwl3945 && sudo modprobe iwl3945 debug=0x43fff , try again and repeat the dmesg pastebin? | 03:49 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, I have no idea how to enable restricted repositories | 03:49 |
| fuzzeh | ya ive been to those sites | 03:49 |
| nanotube | Rodolfo: hope that helps.. good luck :) | 03:49 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: uncomment it in /etc/apt/sources.list or uses the software sources GUI | 03:49 |
| tritium | VoodooDance: as you can see above, it's in the restricted component. Make sure you've enabled it. Are you running intrepid? | 03:49 |
| nDevastator | can anyone tell me how to add a program to the open with options | 03:50 |
| Ryou | If I type "emacs driver.c &" where driver.c is a c file, shouldn't emacs open in a new terminal window? | 03:50 |

| R34L1TY | Hey guys, i have another quick question about sound in ubuntu | 03:50 |
| Ryou | k | 03:50 |
| tritium | VoodooDance: I believe 180 is only in the intrepid repo | 03:51 |
| razaccour | is there a tv tuner/video capture software for Ubuntu? | 03:51 |
| frg22 | hello, I am trying to change the mode my wireless device is operating under, but i get "Device or resource busy". I've tried doing this in recovery mode, but the settings just reset. the command I am using is `iwconfig wlan0 mode managed` | 03:51 |
| tritium | razaccour: yes, a few: tvtime, zapping, xawtv | 03:51 |
| razaccour | the one I have requires direct x, and i really don't wanna install microshit | 03:51 |
| Titan8990 | razaccour: mythtv | 03:51 |
| razaccour | thanks | 03:51 |
| R34L1TY | Everything is working great, except for if i turn up PCM under the sound settings, it produces a really loud hum noise, whats up with that? | 03:51 |
| razaccour | which is the best? | 03:51 |
| FloodBot1 | razaccour: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:51 |
| VoodooDance | is it possible to upgrade to intrepid? | 03:51 |
| Titan8990 | razaccour: experiment :) | 03:51 |
| tritium | VoodooDance: of course | 03:51 |
| lwizardl | Hi | 03:51 |
| tritium | !upgrade | VoodooDance | 03:51 |
| ubottu | VoodooDance: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 03:51 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: try to scan again | 03:52 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: yes, but there are many who run in to issues, fresh installation is the recommended method | 03:52 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Gnea> Already did. Nothing. | 03:52 |
| lwizardl | does Ubuntu 8.10 support tablet pc's? | 03:52 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: anything different in dmesg? | 03:52 |
| tritium | lwizardl: yes | 03:52 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: everyday there are new "upgrading to intrepid broke my crap" posts on the forums | 03:52 |
| tritium | lwizardl: note that some configuration/tweaking is required | 03:52 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: I personally didn't have any problems | 03:52 |
| lwizardl | sweet I just bought one and plan to install Ubuntu on it | 03:52 |
| Rodolfo | nanotube thanks again. But in a quick watch to all those differents kinds of intall methods, that one looks complicated. Do you think maybe it could cause my CPU is not recognized by the kernel? | 03:52 |
| Aayush | i have problem install vmware 6.0.5 in ubuntu 8.10 it says some unable to compile some modules for this kernel | 03:52 |
| niku | lwizard1 - a friend of mine had some issues w/ 8.10 on a lenovo tablet, whereas 7.10 worked out of box | 03:52 |
| Aayush | what to do | 03:52 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Gnea> No. The same iwl3945: Wait for START_ALIVE timeout after 2000ms. | 03:52 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: o.O that's new... | 03:53 |
| tdawgedogg | damnit can i boot into safe mode or something...im still stuck in command prompt | 03:53 |
| nanotube | Rodolfo: unless you have something really exotic, that wouldn't be the problem... | 03:53 |
| Titan8990 | tdawgedogg: the command prompt is "safe mode" | 03:53 |
| jedi06 | when i tried to play my dvd it says i don't have the codec so it give me an option to download some gstreamer codec package and i install it then it say error read when i try to play it, maybe i need the regionset package to initially set the drive's region? | 03:53 |
| arghh2d2 | < tdawgedog> damnit can i boot into safe mode or something...im still stuck in command prompt | 03:53 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Gnea> Oh, wait. It's not caused by scan | 03:53 |
| tdawgedogg | titan8990: can i pm you? | 03:53 |
| arghh2d2 | sorry, wrong | 03:53 |
| Titan8990 | tdawgedogg: sure | 03:53 |
| baz | I am about to install ubuntu on 10 PCs. I have one PC perfectly configured with all the proper apps installed, keyboard shortcuts set, compiz configured, updates installed, power settings chosen, etc... How can I save this state and deploy it to all 10 machines given that they all have differing hardware? | 03:53 |
| arghh2d2 | sorry | 03:53 |
| mic_lovin | my windows box can see my samba shares ... but my other ubuntu box can not ... why this is? | 03:54 |
| usser | baz, how big is the hdd? | 03:54 |
| nanotube | Aayush: well, first, unless you are really tied to vmware for some reason, try virtualbox instead. | 03:54 |
| lwizardl | niku, tritium, ok i'll keep that in mind this is a Toshiba Protege | 03:54 |
| Titan8990 | baz: with initrd, different hardware is not much of an issue | 03:54 |
| Rodolfo | nanotube haha no, I dont think it is a really exoctic one. it's a Phenom II | 03:54 |
| usser | baz, is it the same size? | 03:54 |
| baz | usser, the hard drives will all be big enough (min 180gb) but of differing sizes and one will even have RAID | 03:54 |
| Gnea | X-tremAl_Raven: check this out and give it a whirl: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/248321 | 03:55 |
| baz | Titan8990, so should a straight HD image do the trick? | 03:55 |
| nanotube | Rodolfo: should be ok... could be anything else though. if you built your own comp, often poor memory seating causes problems. did you run the memtest? | 03:55 |
| nanotube | Rodolfo: or just bad chips, too | 03:55 |
| usser | baz, you can you use dd but it'll take quite a while, partimage is a great choice, not sure how it'll work with raid though | 03:55 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Xaero1> Seems like I should compile iwl3945. But this driver is already in the system. | 03:55 |
| Titan8990 | baz: yes, if the partition sizes are to be the same | 03:55 |
| mic_lovin | !samba | 03:55 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 03:55 |
| Titan8990 | baz: dd, partimage, clonezilla, take your pick | 03:56 |
| mib | hi.anyone knows how to adjust partition space in ubuntu? | 03:56 |
| razaccour | thanks | 03:56 |
| Aayush | how to minimize evolution to system tray | 03:56 |
| razaccour | tvtime seems to be pretty good | 03:56 |
| Rodolfo | nanotube I'm afraid that the second choice could be the one (foxconn A7DA S)... maybe that... ok I'll see | 03:56 |
| baz | Titan8990, usser, so the only limitation is that all physical partitions have to be the same | 03:56 |
| jedi06 | however i have not installed ubuntu-restricted-extras yet which i will try now | 03:56 |
| tritium | mib: gparted | 03:56 |
| arghh2d2 | mib, cfdisk works | 03:56 |
| mib | tritium: i did try gparted | 03:57 |
| baz | Titan8990, usser, I could maybe live with that - perhaps just a different /home if possible | 03:57 |
| mib | let me paste a snapshot here | 03:57 |
| tritium | mib: that's the most commonly used | 03:57 |
| nsgn | ok, i've tried various BIOS settings for standby. in all cases unbutu crashes and wont recover without full power cycle if i try to suspend/sleep | 03:57 |
| nsgn | help? | 03:57 |
| R34L1TY | Does anyone know why raising the PCM under my speaker settings produces a very loud high pitched buzz? | 03:57 |
| nanotube | Rodolfo: the boot cd also has a memory test option - so try running that. might take a while, but it's worth it to run that on a freshly built com. | 03:57 |
| Aayush | how to minimize evolution to system tray | 03:57 |
| nanotube | Rodolfo: *comp | 03:57 |
| Titan8990 | baz: that might be a bit more difficult | 03:58 |
| mib | http://imageshack.us/img/butansn.png | 03:58 |
| usser | baz, not really size doesnt matter, only that the the partition that you have currently setup on the image has to fit on the smallest hdd on all the clones, ie master hdd should be smaller than that of the clone | 03:58 |
| VoodooDance | Titan8990, I should be fine with the upgrade... I haven't really done anything with the distro that didn't use the package manager | 03:58 |
| mib | this is my current snapshot of my harddisk.i have sda4 which is my current working spce. And another 68GB of unallocated space | 03:58 |
| mib | i wanted to trasnfer some of the 68GB of unallocated to my sda4. But there seems no easy way out | 03:59 |
| Lana | I'm making a custom folder icon in inkscape but I'm not able to save it. it says "file could not be saved". anyone know what could be the problem? | 03:59 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: just be careful about what config files you tell it to keep | 03:59 |
| arghh2d2 | mib: , you cant send partition space to anothe drive | 03:59 |
| Titan8990 | VoodooDance: that is often what give people grief | 03:59 |
| Rodolfo | nanotube ok looks like I should try that... even if same rig have W7 beta running on it without any problems...maybe linux kernel is as much picky like that!! I will try the mem test though!! | 03:59 |
| gralco | Code::Blocks vs Anjuta... just trying to decide, any advice? | 03:59 |
| tty01 | mib next time use lvm2 | 04:00 |
| Titan8990 | anyone that I am currently helping: I have to go afk for 15min | 04:00 |
| mib | because the current sda4 space is limited which is 20GB and only left few GB..i plan to find ways to absorb some unalocated space to there | 04:00 |
| nanotube | Rodolfo: ok, give that a shot, and see what it reports. :) could be all good, you know... no guarantees that that's the problem. | 04:00 |
| mib | any thing i could do currently to do that | 04:00 |
| Depressed | why won't the ubuntu installation detect my harddrives on my eeePC | 04:00 |
| Rodolfo | nanotube cool!! | 04:01 |
| arghh2d2 | mib what do you need the new space for? system files or storage? | 04:01 |
| mib | storage | 04:01 |
| nsgn | dangit...googling tells me that suspend/sleep is really lame in Ubuntu. is this true? | 04:01 |
| nsgn | because i really assumed it'd be ok. it's a dealbreaker for me if it can't work | 04:01 |
| mib | my main current space is 20GB (sda4) which contain the bin...etc.. | 04:01 |
| adante | hi guys i am trying to install ubuntu server edition - it says it can't find a network interface and i may need to specify a module, but there it no place to specify a module? how can i do it? | 04:01 |
| nanotube | Rodolfo: good luck :) | 04:01 |
| tty01 | why not just format then mount it as extra storage? 0_o | 04:01 |
| cast|lir | suspend/sleep is often enough broken in any OS, unfortunately :( | 04:02 |
| mib | ah? | 04:02 |
| arghh2d2 | mib:, just mount that drive and make a link to it in your home folder | 04:02 |
| baz | usser, thats perfect, will more than comfortably fit on the smallest HD. My aim is to have the "/" partition be 25gb (4-5gb used) and the rest /home. Would the tools Titan8990 mentioned earlier (dd, partimage, clonezilla) be the first place to start? | 04:02 |
| mib | moutn which dirve? the unaalocated space? | 04:02 |
| arghh2d2 | mib: yeah | 04:02 |
| mib | mount as a new drive arghh2d2? | 04:02 |
| kompi07 | cr_tmn | 04:03 |
| mib | means i will have 20GB as one drive (sda4) and another 68GB as another drive | 04:03 |
| arghh2d2 | mib: well format it first if you havent already | 04:03 |
| jeffball55 | /quit | 04:03 |
| tty01 | and dont forget to add it to fstab | 04:03 |
| kompi07 | 04:03 | |
| arghh2d2 | tty01: adding it to fstab is easy | 04:03 |
| mib | is that formatting them using gparted? | 04:03 |
| arghh2d2 | errr tty01 that was for mib | 04:03 |
| tty01 | if he doesnt know how to format/mount what makes you think its easy for him? | 04:03 |
| arghh2d2 | mib: adding it to fstab is easy | 04:04 |
| tty01 | ah | 04:04 |
| mib | blur. | 04:04 |
| arghh2d2 | mib: yeah, gparted | 04:04 |
| arghh2d2 | or qparted | 04:04 |
| ph0rensic | whats the off-topic room? | 04:04 |
| usser | baz, dd would probably be simplest, it copies byte by byte, but can be a pain to clone, you have to go around with master hdd and hook it up to each of the slaves, or you can make an image and dd it through nfs or samba(you'll have to boot clones into livecds) | 04:04 |
| mib | arghh..you mean create new partition from the 80GB? | 04:04 |
| dougemd | four8d | 04:04 |
| arghh2d2 | mib: yes | 04:05 |
| Lana | ah I figured it out, it's because the folder I want to save it in says I don't have permission. how do I bring up the login so I can make the folder see I'm the owner? | 04:05 |
| tty01 | mib: sudo fdisk -l and paste that into pastebin then provide the link....ill type it out for ya | 04:05 |
| arghh2d2 | resise make a new filesystem, ext3, or whatever you choose | 04:05 |
| mib | but argghh, that would create a separate drive instead of transferring some space to the existing sda4 | 04:05 |
| jedi06 | does the ubuntu-restricted-extras have libdvdread3 in it? | 04:05 |
| dougemd | hello? | 04:05 |
| usser | baz, partimage has extensive network support, and is faster since it doesnt copy empty space on the hdd, but can be a little tricky to learn/use | 04:06 |
| arghh2d2 | mib: thats what i dont understand...you CANNOT put free space from one drive to another drive, it's not a virtual filesystem | 04:06 |
| arghh2d2 | or whatever, maybe i just dont understand you well enough mib | 04:06 |
| mib | ok | 04:07 |
| arghh2d2 | however.. | 04:07 |
| usser | zfs ftw | 04:07 |
| arghh2d2 | you can easily store files on any drive and/or partition, mib | 04:07 |
| dougemd | hey, I'm trying to mount a brand new 4g USB key from microcenter. I put it in my mac and dropped a 700meg file on it. I just put in in my ubuntu machine and I can see it in dmegs, but its doesn't auto mount | 04:07 |

| * BlinkyToon has enough trouble with just TWO ! | 04:11 | |
| usser | baz, it all depends on your network connection, sure you can clone 40 comps, but its gonna be mad slow, im judging from my experience with ghost, a 40gb partition clones in about 40 minutes over 100mbps with about 20 computers going, 25 with 2 | 04:12 |
| Frijolie | anyone know of a decent iPod transfer application. I'm drawing blanks here. I've already tried gtkpod and hipo | 04:12 |

| cast|lir | always the option to install free firmware on your ippod :) | 04:12 |
| b3z3rk3r | Frijolie, you could try winamp via WINE | 04:13 |
| Frijolie | b3z3rk3r, yeah thanks, I was counting out WINE...if I do that I may as well just use iTunes | 04:13 |
| usser | Mike9022, killall -9 x11vnc | 04:13 |
| baz | usser, thats pretty good | 04:13 |
| jedi06 | same with vlc | 04:14 |
| b3z3rk3r | Frijolie, Nooo.. dont go to the dark side! I know they have cookies, but we do good muffins? | 04:14 |
| Xaero1 | << this guy might just be retarded | 04:14 |
| Frijolie | b3z3rk3r, yeah I"m here to find the muffin(s) | 04:14 |
| b3z3rk3r | Frijolie, try something like Amarok or Rythmbox | 04:14 |
| Frijolie | b3z3rk3r, i've only found burnt old brownies so far | 04:14 |
| Xaero1 | Is flaming one's self prohibited? | 04:14 |
| drash | Frijolie: have you tried gtkpod ? | 04:14 |
| b3z3rk3r | Frijolie, aww.. im sorry, il try make some fresh ones next time you are on | 04:15 |
| Frijolie | b3z3rk3r, tried Rhythmbox only drag-n-drop works...too much hassle | 04:15 |
| arghh2d2 | rythmbox is good for ipods | 04:15 |
| Frijolie | drash, yes gtkpod is the worst | 04:15 |
| arghh2d2 | almost identical to itunes | 04:15 |

| kreino | help, may i know what key to view 3d desktop after i set up it in comfiz | 04:15 |
| kreino | help, may i know what key to view 3d desktop after i set up it in comfiz? | 04:15 |
| b3z3rk3r | Frijolie, what exactly are you looking to do with it? | 04:15 |
| drash | Frijolie: odd, works great here | 04:15 |
| Frijolie | gtkpod has one good feature, reencoding on-the-fly | 04:15 |
| arghh2d2 | gtkpod does its job, rythmbox is much smoother | 04:15 |
| solexious | How can I check if jumbo frames is enabled on my card? | 04:16 |
| Frijolie | most of my music library is .flac gtkpod converted it to .mp3 for transfer | 04:16 |
| b3z3rk3r | kreino, do you have the CCSM instaled from thr Repos? | 04:16 |
| Frijolie | gktpod's UI wasn't very intuitive and it corrupted my filesystem on the iPod | 04:16 |
| kreino | yes, i already installed it in my ubuntu | 04:16 |
| Frijolie | would transfer duplicate files, wouldn't preserve id3 tags | 04:16 |
| Frijolie | plus there's an older version in the repos | 04:16 |
| usser | baz, i got my numbers wrong 25gb image sorry | 04:16 |
| b3z3rk3r | kreino, then you just need to enable 4 workspaces and you are all set. unless you have sone that already? | 04:17 |
| Neros | hey all I have a question. I really like that when ubuntu detects removable media it auto mounts it and makes the launcher on the desktop..... how do i make it make those launchers on the right hand side so they dont just get stuck with my regualr icons | 04:17 |
| arghh2d2 | Frijolie: rythmbox corrupted my ipod a few times too, it's annoying but real mp3 players should be drag and drop to begin with. | 04:17 |
| Bikeguy | does anyone know how to change your default display manager without removing kdm or gdm ? | 04:17 |
| kreino | what that 4 workplace | 04:17 |
| tritium | Bikeguy: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm (or kdm, if you prefer. same effect) | 04:18 |
| Frijolie | b3z3rk3r, they also have an older version of Amarok in the repos | 04:18 |
| Frijolie | b3z3rk3r, not even 2.0 | 04:18 |
| impreziv | How would I go about adding more desktops if i have removed the bottom panel with the desktop wall image on it? | 04:18 |
| Bikeguy | thanks tritium | 04:18 |
| b3z3rk3r | Frijolie, you could always dual boot, or even put custom firmware on your pod if you are unhappy with the other solutions? | 04:18 |
| Frijolie | drash, maybe I'm just having bad luck? | 04:18 |
| kreino | what that 4 workplace, b3z3rk3r | 04:18 |
| arghh2d2 | impreziv: re-add the applet | 04:18 |
| b3z3rk3r | kreino, PM me and il explain for you | 04:18 |
| usser | amarok 2 is no good for ipod syncing support for audio devices is not present in it as of yet | 04:18 |
| jedi06 | well i can't get either totem or vlc to play my dvd i installed libdvdread3 gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ubuntu-restricted-extras and ran install-css.sh | 04:18 |
| arghh2d2 | impreziv: right click applet, add applet | 04:18 |
| Frijolie | b3z3rk3r, i do have XP in a VM...i thought about going that route. I'd just prefer to stay native to my host OS | 04:19 |
| arghh2d2 | right click panel, add applet | 04:19 |
| Frijolie | b3z3rk3r, if at all possible | 04:19 |
| arghh2d2 | amarok sucks | 04:19 |
| Frijolie | b3z3rk3r, I have also contemplated going RockBox | 04:19 |
| b3z3rk3r | Frijolie, sure, thats understandable. What ipod do you have, and what version is the software? i have a 6th Gen and its just fine with both Amarok and Rythmbox | 04:19 |

| jedi06 | usser how do i check but i think so | 04:21 |
| arghh2d2 | that puppy meaning his old ipod | 04:21 |
| Frijolie | arghh2d2, I do like the UI of the iPod though. iPod Linux right? | 04:21 |

| jedi06 | usser yes i do | 04:22 |
| Frijolie | arghh2d2, I'll check that out | 04:22 |
| b3z3rk3r | Frijolie, have you tried the forums on this one? It sounds to me like a specific prob with that model | 04:22 |
| alienseer23 | linux_guy: it's for a friend...trying to convert ... and I agree, it is wrong | 04:22 |
| jedi06 | it was in the ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:23 |
| alienseer23 | but does it work? | 04:23 |
| b3z3rk3r | Frijolie, as most of the ipod issues have been worked out now, they were bad a few years ago | 04:23 |
| Frijolie | b3z3rk3r, well that's the problem...there's WAY too much info on iPods on the forums | 04:23 |
| Frijolie | b3z3rk3r, I used to use Rhythmbox until a week ago. Rhythmbox seems to be a dead project | 04:23 |
| tritium | jedi06: it's in the medibuntu repository for legal reasons | 04:23 |
| Frijolie | they're not updating it frequently at all | 04:23 |
| usser | jedi06, something like that ii libdvdcss2 1.2.10-0.2medibuntu1 | 04:23 |
| Frijolie | so now I'm trying Songbird and that wont even recognize my iPod | 04:23 |
| Frijolie | the only app that won't recoginze it | 04:24 |
| jedi06 | yes usser it is there | 04:24 |
| usser | jedi06, libdvdread3? | 04:24 |
| jedi06 | yes it is | 04:24 |
| arghh2d2 | Frijolie: did you try rhythmbox? | 04:24 |
| jedi06 | yes it is usser i installed it | 04:24 |
| Frijolie | arghh2d2, yeah that was my first attempt | 04:24 |
| [T]ank | my laptop mic seems to be working. When i crank it up all the way in alsamixer, I can hear my typing and other noises amplified back out the speakers. However... I cannot get ANY applications to use it. I am testing with the sound recorder app in the application menu as well as a few other programs like zoiper (softphone). any ideas? | 04:25 |
| usser | jedi06, hm, should work, try running vlc from the terminal and playing dvd see what errors it gives you | 04:25 |
| jedi06 | how so | 04:25 |
| arghh2d2 | well if rhythmbox didnt work then you might have other issues | 04:25 |
| xonpathos | anybody know the permanent version of metacity --replace? seems that only persists until reboot :/ | 04:25 |
| Frijolie | primarily I use my iPod for podcasts and then music second. Drag-n-drop was awfully messy not much automation | 04:25 |
| arghh2d2 | hotplugging or something | 04:25 |
| jedi06 | where does the dvd mount to? | 04:26 |
| Frijolie | gtkpod allowed for more automation but then wound up corrupting library and would transfer duplicate songs | 04:26 |

| jedi06 | how do i get vlc to play it in terminal | 04:27 |
| xonpathos | [T]ank, could it be that you've got it set up for playback, but not recording? | 04:27 |
| usser | jedi06, just open the terminal and type vlc | 04:27 |
| Frijolie | one other question while on the iPod topic... | 04:27 |
| arghh2d2 | Frijolie: honestly, if i had one of the old ipods, i would at least try ipodlinux, if it doesnt work you can just reload the firmware with itunes, if it does work you'll have a kick ass drag and drop mp3 player | 04:27 |
| jedi06 | what about vlc /media/cdrom | 04:28 |
| Frijolie | now that I've uninstalled gtkpod and rhythmbox i do not have a player associated or set as default player for music | 04:28 |
| b3z3rk3r | Frijolie, had issues with mine a few years back, but its all been fixed now | 04:28 |

| ubottu | nathanhelp: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. | 04:42 |

| nsgn | or cp, if you want to copy instead of move | 05:03 |
| deadbattery | sudo mv then what? cud u give an example? | 05:04 |
| cast|lir | deadbattery: could tarball it anf sftp/scp it. if you want to use ssh then you can do something like 'tar c dir/|ssh user@host tar xv' perhaps | 05:04 |
| Sylphid | linux_guy, here we go... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB | 05:04 |
| nsgn | mv /first folder/ /second folder/ | 05:04 |
| nsgn | path syntax can vary ever so slightly between OSes | 05:04 |
| nsgn | but its right along those lines | 05:04 |
| nsgn | might need to throw -r if there are subfolders | 05:04 |
| albertod | hi guys new with linux | 05:04 |
| Teutonic | deadbattery, if you use the cp command on a folder make sure you use -r for the recursive function. | 05:04 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: odd...you might want to make sure the kernel supports your acpi setup....but truthfully there are just a ton of bugs in that area, very hard to troubleshoot because you cant tail logs, or get any feedback, because once the machine tries to sleep, or thinks it is, nothing is written etc | 05:05 |
| Teutonic | nm nsgn got it :) | 05:05 |
| deadbattery | thanx it worked | 05:05 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: are you running the latest 8.10, with updates including the new kernal that came out last week? | 05:05 |
| albertod | can anybody help me about networking | 05:05 |
| nsgn | deadbattery: no prob :) | 05:05 |
| albertod | using crunchbang linux 8.10 | 05:05 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: i believe so. it is not offering me more updates | 05:05 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: "your system is up to date" | 05:06 |
| nsgn | so unless its a manual update, i've got all the update manager ones | 05:06 |
| freq18hz | well, make sure you have your powermanagement settings set right...and make sure the suspend script is working for your hardware....make sure to check /var/log for any kernel panics, stack traces etc | 05:07 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: advice on power management settings? there are hardly any relating to this in the GUI | 05:07 |
| Zombie | Hello. | 05:08 |
| Zombie | Anyone here use Ubuntu with Dell's E1505 Series? | 05:09 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: yeah make sure that what you have set in the GUI, corresponds to any relevent .conf files, or the scripts in /etc/acpi | 05:10 |
| Fujisan | !vista | 05:10 |

| freq18hz | nsgn: basically rule out that even though you have your gui set to suspend when you suspend, that maybe something isn't actually set, so it just shuts off instead etc | 05:10 |
| rdancer | how do i connect from a remote machine to this X session, using vnc? | 05:10 |
| Fujisan | i made that happen | 05:10 |

| freq18hz | nsgn: Blogger Linus said... | 05:13 |
| freq18hz | LimbClock: it's too late to hit the 2.6.28 release (the fix is fairly small, but very invasive), so it will go in early in the 2.6.29 merge window. | 05:13 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: youd want to look at /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog | 05:14 |
| lilkuz85 | can anyone help me with a boot error. its something to do with the onboard intel graphics unit on my mobo | 05:14 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: and make sure that any gnome power management settings, are actually set in the corresponding .conf files, and make sure the scripts in /etc/acpi/ like suspend.sh look good | 05:14 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: otherwise wait for the kernel fix | 05:15 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: or use different hardware. Which laptop are you using anyway? | 05:15 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: i'm actually on a desktop. intel 945GC chipset | 05:15 |
| nsgn | was just amazed it doesnt work for the sake of laptop users | 05:15 |
| nsgn | to whom this would pain more than me | 05:15 |
| ben44b | is my CMOS setup the same thing as BIOS setup? | 05:17 |
| nickrud | ben44b, most likely they're just terms for the same thing | 05:17 |
| freq18hz | nsgn:ah well...yeah it works fine on this netbook. Its an intel 945 variant. Anyway...try waiting for the next kernel. Or if you cant wait, grab it from the respoistory and roll it yourself. If its a desktop, why do you need to suspend it, just leave it on =) | 05:18 |
| inktri | hey guys i replaced my NIC and the new one is eth1 instead of eth0. how can i make this new card eth0? | 05:18 |
| Zombie | Anyone here use Ubuntu with Dell's E1505 Series? I am wanting to run Intrepid on it,. and I am concerned about hardware compatibility | 05:19 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: because its used only about an hour a day and i'd love to save the $$ on my power bill | 05:19 |
| jove | Hi All, how to prevent overwrite the file /etc/resolv.conf after each reboot ? | 05:19 |
| lilkuz85 | /bin/sh: cant access tty; job control turned off ???? | 05:19 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: my math says i'd save $5/mo on power | 05:19 |
| nsgn | $60 a year | 05:19 |
| kreino | list | 05:19 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: just shut it down then. Safer for your disks, and saves more power anyway. | 05:20 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: its a television computer. i need it instantly recallable. i'm going to windows if it wont work in ubuntu | 05:20 |
| nsgn | i like ubuntu better for this purpose, but windows actually works | 05:20 |
| nsgn | and will sleep all day long and come back in an instant no issue | 05:20 |
| nickrud | jove, you'd set it in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 05:21 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: well, ubuntu works, it just has a bug with your hardware. But if sleep is your #1 priority, you should go back to windows. Unixes have had ongoing problems with sleep since sleep was incepted. Its pretty cool that it actually works now. It used to be impossible. A lot of unixes, BSD for instance, has sleep disabled by default. | 05:22 |
| tuxedocurly | hey guys, any info on creating a LAMPP server here on my ubuntu machine? | 05:22 |
| nicholashubbard | is it possible to add a package to an ignore list or something so that it can never be installed. I need to make sure that apt-get never installs rubygems but would also like it to think that it is there so anything that depends on it can still be installed | 05:22 |
| nanotube | !lamp | tuxedocurly | 05:22 |
| ubottu | tuxedocurly: 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+) | 05:22 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: i'm just really sad to go back to windows. i'm much wanting any hack or fix for this | 05:23 |

| tuxedocurly | i had some info i found on the net, but it doesnt seem to be working for me =S i keeep getting a database connection error that i cant fix | 05:23 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: well without more specific info from you, I cant help your troubleshoot. Try posting on the ubuntu.com forums. Or wait for the next kernal. Or get different hardware. Or go back to windows. Its likely a kernel bug, which can | 05:24 |
| macvr | nanotube: there is still 400mb left, but most of the .avi files that have finished downloading work... | 05:24 |
| freq18hz | cannot be fixed by a hack. | 05:24 |
| jove | nickrud, do you mean to copy the content of /etc/resolv.conf into /etc/dhcp3/dhcleint.conf ? | 05:24 |
| [T]ank | so when i unmute my capture channel in the volume applet things do what they are supposed to. When i close and reopen the volume applet, the capture channel is muted again, how can i make it stay unuted? | 05:24 |
| [T]ank | unmuted | 05:24 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: what more specific info do you need? i just read the logs you mentioned and they dont give any errors. no panics. all config files look decent | 05:24 |

| macvr | nanotube: but why is there this 4 gb difference? i didnt understand ... thats y i'm puzzled! | 05:25 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: its probably a kernel bug then. | 05:25 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: can you give me an idea how to compile the latest kernel into my OS? | 05:25 |
| nsgn | i'm gonna last ditch effort it with that | 05:25 |

| andrew_ | hello, can someone help me. I'm trying to go back to windows XP but when I try to boot to it before Ubuntu it keeps cycling me back to the boot option screen. How modify the boot sector to give me the windows boot options? | 05:26 |
| nsgn | not as easy as an apt-get then, eh? :P | 05:26 |
| macvr | nanotube: even funny is when i check with partition editior it says that i have 9gb free!!! that would be 7gb difference! | 05:27 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: its not released yet. You'll have to see if you can get the code itself from their repository, and compile it | 05:27 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: bummer. ok | 05:27 |

| hena2 | i need help setting up a broadcom wireless card | 05:28 |
| nickrud | jove, you would edit and uncomment the prepend domain-name-servers in the dhclient.conf file. When dhclient sets up the connection, it will put that/those addresses in resolv.conf | 05:28 |
| hena2 | activating it from the hardware drivers app doesn't do anything | 05:28 |
| hena2 | it's a bcm4311 rev(02) | 05:28 |

| tuxedocurly | nickrud: how do i get to the wordress channe? "/join #wordpress ? | 05:47 |
| nickrud | tuxedocurly, yes | 05:47 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: tar fails to extract the files | 05:47 |
| tuxedocurly | nickrud: alright im on my way there, thanks a lot! | 05:47 |
| jove | nickrud, its http://paste.ubuntu.com/113909/ | 05:47 |
| Sylphid | hena2, whats the error? | 05:47 |
| === spartakus is now known as Guest7806 | ||
| andrew_ | is there a way to get rid of the Grub boot loader screen? | 05:48 |
| andrew_ | <andrew_> and force my PC to boot to c: with windows? | 05:48 |
| arghh2d2 | andrew_: you can set the timer to like 1 second | 05:48 |
| nickrud | jove, you are using network manager to set up your wireless, right? | 05:48 |
| Titan8990 | andrew_: uncomment hidemenu | 05:48 |
| Altari | andrew_; trying to remove linux altogether? | 05:48 |
| freq18hz | andrew: make sure you have follow the setup steps to configure grub, on ubuntu.com community documentation page | 05:48 |
| Titan8990 | andrew_: and set default to windows on the line: default # | 05:49 |
| andrew_ | i tried that. it didn't work | 05:49 |
| MTecknology | nickrud: well, it almost works. but the script is kinda poorly written so... | 05:49 |
| andrew_ | default doesn't matter. it doesn't DO ANYTHING when i chose winxp | 05:49 |
| freq18hz | andrew: otherwise, you might need to reinstall grub if it isnt working right | 05:49 |
| arghh2d2 | you can put windows at the top of the list (barf) | 05:49 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: should i be downloading this driver? | 05:49 |
| hena2 | wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o.1' | 05:49 |
| andrew_ | it doesn't matter where it's at on the list. it won't boot at all | 05:49 |
| andrew_ | how does one remove Ubuntu? | 05:50 |
| Altari | andrew_; you have incorrectly configured grub | 05:50 |
| putrefy | im using ubuntu 8.10 im trying to figure out how to change the default runlevel why isnt it in /etc/inittab? | 05:50 |
| nsgn | holy poop, building the kernel says it wants to take 2 to 4 hours | 05:50 |
| Sylphid | hena2, yes that is what the wget line is doing | 05:50 |
| andrew_ | ok, how do I tell the portion of grub to load windows properly? | 05:50 |
| nsgn | i've only done this once before, ages ago | 05:50 |
| nickrud | jove, I mean the icon on the top panel animates, then says you have a connection | 05:50 |
| nsgn | the kernel has gotten big | 05:50 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: i was asking if that was the correct version | 05:50 |
| russia213_ | Grub error 21 while my external is plugged in, help? | 05:50 |
| freq18hz | grub | 05:51 |
| Altari | andrew_ depends on your config | 05:51 |
| freq18hz | !grub | 05:51 |
| Altari | what is this grub day :S | 05:51 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 05:51 |
| freq18hz | andrew: read the howto | 05:51 |
| Sylphid | hena2, doesnt look like it | 05:51 |
| izinucs | radsy, I guess what I find confusing is the file is in the root of /var/www and is the php configuration file for Joomla.. however when in the control panel of joomla and I make a change I get "configuration.php" unwriteable .. I would think that Joomla should be able to write to it's own configuration... I might be wrong | 05:51 |
| jove | nickrud, yes. I had the wireless connection well. Let me explain, every time rebooting, the file /etc/resolv.conf had overwritten the unwanted IP addreses. | 05:51 |
| nickrud | jove? | 05:51 |
| Pyles17 | apparently it is not intel 3945 day | 05:52 |
| nickrud | jove, yes, that's what happens. Normal | 05:52 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: k | 05:52 |
| hena2 | let me see if tar gives me the error again | 05:52 |
| * andrew_ has read the Grub howto. Has anyone actually ever removed Ubuntu and gone back to XP? | 05:52 | |
| jove | nicirud, do you see the dhclient that I sent to U correct ? | 05:52 |
| nickrud | jove, ok, then we should be in the right place. I forgot to mention, remove domain-name-servers from the next line group, 'request' | 05:52 |
| putrefy | where did inittab go? | 05:52 |
| nickrud | putrefy, /etc/event.d | 05:52 |
| Pyles17 | my intel 3945 only works occasionally. of course, the driver comes with ubuntu. i don't understand. any ideas? | 05:53 |
| Zombie | Anyone here use Ubuntu with Dell's E1505 Series? I am wanting to run Intrepid on it,. and I am concerned about hardware compatibility. | 05:53 |
| putrefy | nickrud, thanks man! | 05:53 |
| radsy | izinucs, it still depends who owns the file | 05:53 |
| nickrud | !laptop | Zombie | 05:53 |
| ubottu | Zombie: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org | 05:53 |
| radsy | izinucs, try chmod 777 the file then do your joomla config to prove it | 05:53 |
| nickrud | Zombie, erm, I'm guessing laptop :) | 05:53 |
| radsy | then change back to 644 as a test | 05:53 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: k, i followed all the steps in the code box sucessfully, except the ones you told me to replace | 05:53 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: now what? | 05:53 |
| izinucs | radsy, sure 777 makes it writeable by everyone.. right? | 05:54 |
| russia213_ | Grub error 21 while my external is plugged in, help? | 05:54 |
| radsy | yes | 05:54 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: still compiling? =) | 05:54 |
| Sylphid | hena2, reboot | 05:54 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: heck yeah i am. this takes a long time | 05:54 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: ok | 05:54 |
| radsy | izinucs, i really recommend you read that link ... it will help you understand it for the future. | 05:54 |
| hena2 | hope it works | 05:54 |
| nsgn | it says "2 to 4 hours" but i'm hoping it may be faster since i'm on a core 2 duo | 05:54 |
| izinucs | radsy, k.. | 05:54 |
| radsy | very simple once you have your head around it | 05:55 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: heh well let me know, I want to know if linus fix works | 05:55 |
| izinucs | radsy, is there a way to find out who owns the file? | 05:55 |
| nsgn | freq18hz: there was a newer stable available. if that doesnt work, i'll try the development patch one | 05:55 |
| Gate | can anyone assist getting grub working on a software RAID? | 05:55 |
| nsgn | if that doesnt work its windows for me :( | 05:55 |
| radsy | izinucs, strangely enough, http://www.perlfect.com/articles/chmod.shtml explains that, too | 05:56 |
| MTecknology | nickrud: I'm getting closer | 05:56 |
| izinucs | radsy, ok.. I get the point.. thanks | 05:56 |
| rdancer | the remote desktop viewing just doesn't work | 05:56 |
| drash | Zombie: besides a websearch, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Dell might have some info on that | 05:57 |
| * russia213_ sighs | 05:57 | |
| rdancer | it doesn't work with crypto enabled, and the server doesn't even start with the crypto disabled | 05:57 |
| jove | nickrud, okey...I am going to reboot and let you know. | 05:57 |
| rdancer | it is impossible to log in with the unix passwords, and it is only possible to use an 8-char password | 05:58 |
| rdancer | ubuntu sux | 05:58 |
| Buttons | what is the easiest way to create a image of ubuntu, so that I don't have to install and repeat the same steps every time to get my system back to the way it was? | 05:58 |
| frk2 | rdancer, ubuntu is awesome | 05:58 |
| frk2 | :) | 05:58 |
| cast|lir | if you say so rdancer, the user is always right! | 05:58 |
| b3z3rk3r | rdancer, why dya say that? | 05:58 |
| Gate | hes flaming | 05:58 |
| MTecknology | nickrud: :D | 05:59 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: awesome, it worked | 05:59 |
| b3z3rk3r | Gate, sure, i was just looking for his justification | 05:59 |
| Sylphid | !ghost | buttons | 05:59 |
| ubottu | buttons: On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST <username> <password> | 05:59 |
| quietas | Howdy folks | 05:59 |
| nickrud | MTecknology, success? | 05:59 |
| Sylphid | Buttons, oop ... sorry wrong factiod | 05:59 |
| rdancer | b3z3rk3r: can you read? | 05:59 |
| Buttons | lol | 05:59 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: hate to pester you further. but do you think you could help me install my nvidia driver? for a geforce go 7150? | 05:59 |
| MTecknology | nickrud: yup | 05:59 |
| b3z3rk3r | lol | 05:59 |
| Buttons | i was gonna say... | 05:59 |
| ^cheeky | hello iam using the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to check if i can fix a problem i have, as i enter i have this menu asking me about "Use kernel framebuffer device interface? " i am not sure if should say yes || no ? thank you | 06:00 |
| frk2 | Some time ago we embarked on a project to develop something like AD for linux - I just wanted to get a feel of how many people think thats a worthwhile solution (or a requirement) | 06:00 |
| russia213_ | Grub error 21 while my external is plugged in, help? | 06:00 |
| hena2 | at the moment, i'm stuck at 800x600 resolution | 06:00 |
| quietas | frk2: take a look at Samba4, they are almost ready with the betas | 06:00 |
| Pyles17 | no one has any ideas on intel 3945 wireless not working? | 06:00 |
| Buttons | so, i'm rdy for my factoid now, the correct one please | 06:00 |
| frk2 | so you know, combine Ldap, kerberos, NFS, DNS, DHCP, NTP into one nice GUI | 06:00 |
| === marty is now known as Guest24687 | ||
| nickrud | Buttons, dpkg --get-selections > mypackages, put mypackages on the new machine ; sudo dpkg --set-selections < mypackages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade . Assuming you've saved & moved $HOME, and made no changes to /etc | 06:00 |
| Sylphid | hena2, proprietary drivers installed ? | 06:01 |
| frk2 | quietas, we are developing something that would sit on TOP of samba4 | 06:01 |
| frk2 | what i wanted (or thought was missing) was a extensible GUI | 06:01 |
| Sylphid | Buttons, the one i thought it was is wrong.. looking | 06:01 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: I tried installing them after ubuntu couldn't | 06:01 |
| quietas | ahh, even better yet. If there was a full GUI to configure it similar to the MS MMC for AD that would be perfect | 06:01 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: didn't work out very well | 06:01 |
| hena2 | had to default to standard ubuntu video drivers | 06:02 |
| frk2 | quietas, MMS is nothing compared to the power of dojo- webbased! :) | 06:02 |
| frk2 | so what do you think of the idea? | 06:02 |
| frk2 | its not just the ldap/kerberos/samba part though | 06:02 |
| BeerCan | any good visual basic programming packages for Ubunut ? | 06:03 |
| quietas | heck, I've been looking for a good tool to configure dns, dhcp, smb, apache, squid. Essentially a GUI for a home gateway/router/fileserver | 06:03 |
| Sylphid | Buttons, look into partition http://www.partimage.org/ | 06:03 |
| frk2 | i want it to seamlessly administer my postfix/cyrus and my asterisk and everything and anything else thats required in a organization | 06:03 |
| marty__ | this campus has port 6667 blocked for me | 06:03 |
| frk2 | quietas, problem is that my GUI would get too complex for home use | 06:03 |
| ^cheeky | iam not sure if iam doing this right , i went with yes in the configuareation that is executed with this command : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. but i only was asked about the keyboard layout. am i doing something wrong here ? | 06:03 |
| marty__ | pisses me off so much | 06:03 |
| Sylphid | hena2, what do you get from lspci | grep VGA | 06:04 |
| nickrud | ^cheeky, no, that's all that configure command does for X anymore | 06:04 |
| quietas | frk: complex I don't care about, but a enterpise webmin replacement would be be great | 06:04 |
| Anonyme34769 | hi all | 06:04 |
| BeerCan | hello anonyme | 06:04 |
| ^cheeky | nickrud, so , it does not do anything for the video feature | 06:04 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7150M (rev a2) | 06:05 |
| jove | nickrud, it does not work after its reboot. can you take a look at this file at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113910/ | 06:05 |
| nickrud | ^cheeky, correct. | 06:05 |
| Anonyme34769 | is it normal that i can't see icons on my desktop any more ? Yesterday, I've updated some packages and now, when I want to launch nautilus, it don't works | 06:05 |
| jove | nickrud, do you any idea if you take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/113910/ | 06:06 |
| nickrud | jove, if you're usiing dhcp that should be all you need to do. I did some reading while you were away, and some people claim that it's not working for them. http://www.thejackol.com/2008/05/20/fixing-networkmanager-dns-issue-in-ubuntu-hardy-herongutsy/ shows a hack that prevents resolv.conf from being overwritten | 06:06 |
| Sylphid | hena2, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules | 06:06 |
| Anonyme34769 | BeerCan: Now, nautilus is working and when i go in Desktop, I can see icons, but they are not on my desktop | 06:06 |
| jove | nickrud, it seems a new bug though | 06:07 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: is that it? | 06:07 |
| nickrud | jove, yes it does. Why it happens, I don't know. | 06:07 |
| swolchok1 | where'd all the feisty packages go? | 06:07 |
| nickrud | !feisty | swolchok1 | 06:08 |
| ubottu | swolchok1: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 06:08 |
| hena2 | brb | 06:08 |
| jove | nickrud, yes I have to modify /etc/resolv.conf everytime to reboot | 06:08 |
| swolchok1 | nickrud: so i'm boned if i've got good reasons for not wanting to update the distribution? | 06:08 |
| Sylphid | hena2, after its done installing you will need to restart X | 06:08 |
| nickrud | swolchok1, you can use old-releases.ubuntu.com for a repo, but there will be no security upgrades. Use at your own risk. | 06:08 |
| nellmathew | uhm... what are those coolers for laptops called again?.. the mats w/ the fans? | 06:09 |
| ari_stress | which ntp server we can use? | 06:09 |
| jeeves_Moss | how do I cat the info from dmesg into a txt file? | 06:09 |
| swolchok1 | nickrud: good enough; I just want to test a MITM attack | 06:09 |
| swolchok1 | thanks | 06:09 |
| nickrud | jeeves_Moss, dmesg > file.txt | 06:09 |
| jeeves_Moss | nickrud, thanks. I thought it was something like that, but it turns out that I didn't need cat in there | 06:10 |
| === ectodozing is now known as ectospasm | ||
| nickrud | jeeves_Moss, you could use cat /var/log/dmesg > file.txt if you must use cat ;) | 06:10 |
| === marty__ is now known as martyfuhry | ||

| nickrud | jove, ah, no. I'm real low quality network help, just the basics ;) | 06:12 |
| andrew_ | i'm trying to get to windowsXP and it's just not booting right | 06:12 |
| jeeves_Moss | nickrud, I'd prefer not to. it was late last night, and I didn't feel like looking it up | 06:12 |
| BeerCan | bye | 06:13 |
| jove | nickrud, thanks so much for your time. | 06:13 |
| andrew_ | i pasted my boot grub info on http://paste.ubuntu.com/113912/ and everytime I try to select windows it just keeps cycling back to GRUP | 06:13 |
| andrew_ | errr GRUB | 06:14 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: ok, so i installed the restricted modules, now what? | 06:14 |
| Sylphid | hena2, restart X | 06:14 |
| nickrud | andrew_, thats a correct grub file for a one disk dual boot, assuming ubuntu is booting correctly .... | 06:14 |
| Sylphid | hena2, ctrl + alt + backspace | 06:14 |
| andrew_ | nickrud UBUNTU boots fine, XP won't boot at all! | 06:14 |
| warloc | hi | 06:15 |
| nickrud | andrew_, I'd look into booting from an xp disk and making sure that windows is booting correctly at all | 06:15 |
| hena2 | Sylphid, after just installing the modules? do i need to enable anything? | 06:15 |
| hena2 | or is that it? | 06:15 |
| ^cheeky | hi,.. umm i have this new mother board, intel DG45id and using its inbuilt video card and i am running ubuntu 8.10 and i have the resolution at 1024 X 768 and i need to get it to be even smaller, this is what my xorg file looks like : http://pastebin.ca/1327769. is there anything i can do to fix this? | 06:15 |
| andrew_ | I can't I've tried It just keeps going to UBUNTU | 06:15 |
| nathanhelp | I need to install some drivers from Sony...what is an rpm file? | 06:15 |
| nathanhelp | !rpm | 06:15 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 06:15 |
| nickrud | andrew_, then it's probably a problem with windows not grub. the super grub disk (google) is a good tool for testing windows/grub boot/installations | 06:16 |
| nathanhelp | http://www.sony.net/Products/Linux/Download/DSC-H3.html which one should i DL for Ubuntu 8.10? | 06:16 |
| nickrud | andrew_, wait a minute. you can't boot an xp boot disk? and you're sure you have the cd as the first boot device? | 06:16 |
| Sylphid | hena2, you can verify by looking in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and looking at the module | 06:16 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: k | 06:16 |

| claybustr | I was playing with ldap and screwed up password auth. How do I reenable password logins? Right now the only way into this machine is ssh public key. Even sudo is screwed (I guess I'll have to boot from CD to get root) | 06:19 |
| graydot | tonyyarusso, thanks | 06:19 |
| nickrud | ^cheeky, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log , see if it's using the vesa driver or the intel one. | 06:19 |
| claybustr | also - on a related curiosity tangent - is there any way to use ssh public key (like on a thumb drive) for console or gdm login ? | 06:19 |

| nickrud | nathanhelp, I'd guess (without knowing more about what it is or the code is supposed to do) that you need all of them. And they're written especially for red had | 06:20 |

| macvr | hi all , how do i password protect a certain folder, so that every time i have to view the contents i need to enter the password? | 06:21 |
| tonyyarusso | Lana: um, if you need categories for your accounts, perhaps you have too many accounts... | 06:21 |
| orsonj | Lana: I haven't tried that myself, I'd check for addons that might do it. | 06:21 |
| tonyyarusso | macvr: GPG and a script of some sort. | 06:21 |
| nathanhelp | nickrud: It's for a digital still camera. I dont think I need all of them...but...even so... if it's for redhat that doesnt help me on debian does it? unless...theres a way to convert? | 06:21 |
| russia213 | Pleas help me ;_; | 06:21 |
| nickrud | one can never have too many accounts ... | 06:21 |
| macvr | tonyyarusso: GPG?? i'm just a linux noob could u elaborate? | 06:21 |
| Lana | I run several sites, each with several email accounts, and more sites to come in the future, so I really want to organize the treebar that way | 06:22 |

| nickrud | O__o, /<word> that is, hit the slash key then type what you're looking for then enter | 06:23 |
| R34L1TY | Anyone know what could cause the md5sum to be so different if the file was downloaded from the same source? | 06:23 |
| O__o | nickrud, thx | 06:23 |
| tonyyarusso | macvr: The Advanced Bash Scripting guide will give you more information than you could possibly need, so you'll just need to figure out which bits you actually want to use. Happy reading! | 06:23 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: tried that when i said brb a little while ago. it wouldn't work. ubuntu said there was a problem and the only option that let me log in was to revert back to defaults | 06:24 |

| R34L1TY | Can anyone run a md5 on ubuntu-8.04.2-desktop-i386 | 06:24 |
| O__o | i have a rdesktop question, i read the man page but still dont understand. how do u get sound from windows xp to rdesktop? | 06:25 |
| On0bi_ | how do i change the hovering/selection color in my theme? | 06:25 |
| nickrud | R34L1TY, you can find official md5sums at releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 | 06:25 |
| O__o | rdesktop -r sound xx.xx.xx.xx ?? | 06:25 |
| tonyyarusso | macvr: If you want to be really comprehensive about it you could implement it as a Nautilus plugin, but the easiest way would be to do something like have your folder ~/private_stuff, and then a script ~/open_private.sh, and just click the script to run before entering the folder. | 06:25 |
| R34L1TY | they only liste 8.04.1 as far as i seen nick | 06:25 |
| ^cheeky | nickrud, hey your helping me and thank you , i dont see it in alot of lines .. kinda seem them both, is there particular line i should look for in the log ? | 06:25 |
| On0bi_ | how do i change the hovering/selection color in my theme? | 06:25 |
| nickrud | ^cheeky, why not just put it on http://paste.ubuntu.com ? | 06:25 |
| tonyyarusso | macvr: Alternatively, if you're running 8.10 there's some sort of built in ~/Private directory feature that I think uses LUKS, but I haven't played with that yet since I'm on 8.04. | 06:26 |
| O__o | rdesktop -r sound:local xx.xx.xx.xx ?? | 06:26 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: you're taking a bit to respond. so i'm going to try out the 173. as i dont have too much time to get this sorted out | 06:26 |
| Sylphid | hena2, 177 | 06:26 |
| nathanhelp | nickrud: I'd prefer to not use alien if possible. | 06:26 |
| macvr | tonyyarusso: but if some one clicks on the folder instead of the private.sh , wouldnt they have direct access? | 06:26 |
| Sylphid | hena2, sorry said it earlier musta missed it | 06:26 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: i tried that last time, and it failed | 06:26 |
| On0bi_ | how do i change the hovering/selection color in my theme? | 06:26 |
| Sylphid | hena2, ok try 173 then | 06:27 |
| orsonj | R34L1TY: it shows .2 for me, try a reload. 589f13da46e34789cb13b7dc574ccc6c | 06:27 |
| nickrud | nathanhelp, I'd google your device model number with the word ubuntu for more info. I'd hate to see you try alien :) | 06:27 |
| hena2 | Sylphid: k | 06:27 |
| tonyyarusso | macvr: Well, the way I'm envisioning this is that you'd "unlock" it, use stuff, and "lock" it again. While unlocked, yes. Although of course you can use the built in folder permissions stuff so that they would have to first have access to your user account. | 06:27 |
| R34L1TY | Oh, nevermind, Thank you nickrud, the md5 is indeed correct. Not sure what i did differently this time around :) | 06:27 |

| dimension128 | I have a P4 Cedar Mill Single-Core Processor. It has hyper threading. /proc/cpuinfo shows it as if it were 2 physical cpu's. (processor : 0 and processor : 1). The "System Monitor" shows one 'thread' at almost 100% always, and the other at almost zero. Sometimes they switch around, and the graph itself is interesting to watch, as one 'cpu' goes down, the other goes up almost at the exact same rate. "top" is showing th | 06:43 |
| dimension128 | My question is, Is this normal? Should one 'cpu/thread' on a single-core cpu always appear to be at 100% usage? | 06:43 |
| Circs | dimension128: For single threaded applications that is normal load behavior | 06:44 |
| dimension128 | ok | 06:44 |
| lwizardl | anyone here use a toshiba protege 3500 with ubuntu or linux | 06:45 |

| ali__ | i will paypal $20 usd to anyone who fixes my problem... | 06:47 |
| freq18hz | lol | 06:47 |
| dayo_ | ali__: $25 | 06:47 |
| tonyyarusso | ali__: I appreciate the gesture, but unfortunately I don't know the answer. :S | 06:47 |
| freq18hz | whats the issue | 06:48 |
| ali__ | lol | 06:48 |
| ali__ | i can't get xdmcp working over wifi | 06:48 |
| dayo_ | ali__: :P | 06:48 |
| ali__ | it works fine over ethernet but not over wifi | 06:48 |
| ali__ | im using a laptop as a client so ethernet kinda defeats the purpose of having a laptop in the first place | 06:48 |
| co_alone | i | 06:49 |
| co_alone | i | 06:49 |
| dimension128 | Circs: So how do I know what kind of load a process is really imposing on my machine? When top says something is using 80%CPU, does that mean I have 20% unused or 120%? Or better yet, do you know of any place I can read up on this kind of stuff? I tried googling phrases like "Ubuntu Hyperthreading, always at 100%" But the results are pretty much useless. | 06:49 |
| n8tuser | ali__-> when you use the ethernet on your laptop it works with xdcmp? | 06:49 |
| ali__ | n8tuser: yeah | 06:50 |
| Circs | dimension128: Hyperthreading doesn't mean you actually have two cpus, it only shows up like that, so when it says 80 used, you only have 20% free | 06:50 |
| n8tuser | ali__-> the remote host is on same subnet? | 06:50 |
| ali__ | n8tuser: yeah all my stuff is on 192.168.1.* | 06:50 |
| Circs | dimension128: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading | 06:50 |
| dimension128 | Circs: thank you | 06:51 |
| O__o | hi how to get sound in rdesktop? | 06:51 |
| O__o | i did rdesktop -r sound:local but no sound | 06:51 |
| n8tuser | ali__-> can you post the results of iwconfig; ifconfig ; route -n ? | 06:51 |
| Circs | dimension128: That should give you a good groundwork for understanding, but basically HTT is a way to combat the excessively long pipeline of the Netburst processor arch. | 06:51 |

| ali__ | n8tuser: yeah no problem at all... im wondering if it's because the wireless doesn't connect until logon, and xdmcp is started before logon? | 06:57 |

| peepsalot | as it is, when I plug in headphones, it plays on both the normal speakers, and my headphones | 07:06 |
| n8tuser | boss-> what that meant is your laptop can be logged on remotely using xdcmp, it does not meant you can use your laptop's login prompt to login to a remote system | 07:06 |
| Circs | dimension128: Did that answer your question? | 07:06 |

| MoLE_ | AgentHeX, http://humanpenguin.wordpress.com/2008/08/18/pulseaudio-and-flash-issues-in-ubuntu-804-resolved-at-last/ | 07:18 |
| boss | n8tuser yeah | 07:18 |
| AgentHeX | MoLE_: thanks for the find. i'll see if it fixes my problem. | 07:18 |
| n8tuser | boss hang a few...let me check something | 07:18 |
| KyleK | hey my ubuntu box is acting as a masq gateway, and i want to limit one ip on the network to just 15kbps upload rate, what do I want to use? | 07:19 |
| MoLE_ | np AgentHeX | 07:19 |
| JakPete | I am new so forgive me if this is stupid. Yesterday my ubuntu indicated that there was updates available. I clicked on it as usual and it started downloading. It came up with an error and since then can't open open office, can't remove or reinstall it. Says I have 9 broken packages. Tried doing as the error box says, which is open package manager. When that opens it says to use the broken filter to locate them. I tried Edit, Fix Broken Packages. Sa | 07:19 |
| n8tuser | boss you said wpa2 ? | 07:20 |
| boss | n8tuser yeah personal | 07:20 |
| KyleK | syntac: is there any network services that you can test against? like a web server on your lan or something? I've heard of some drivers causing like a bandwidth limitation of that much | 07:20 |
| n8tuser | boss thats wpa2 or wpa1 i dont remember | 07:20 |
| KyleK | theres one for eahc :) | 07:21 |
| wwbwwb | in my home,2pc,one xp,another xubuntu.when the two connect the internet,the xubuntu is wrong.when the xubuntu connect the internet alone,it's good.what's the matter? | 07:21 |
| wwbwwb | xubuntu 8.10 | 07:21 |
| boss | n8tuser wpa2/psk | 07:21 |
| * aceat64 is away: not here | 07:21 | |
| syntac | kylek, yes, whenever i run the update software (my mirror is a server on campus here) it runs at ~20kB/s on wireless but at 120kB/s when wired | 07:21 |
| n8tuser | boss did you post your /etc/network/interfaces file earlier? | 07:21 |
| Flannel | JakPete: You got cut off. But, go to a terminal, do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, and it'll likely give you a command to perform regarding broken packages | 07:21 |
| KyleK | wwbwwb: might want to clarify on "wrong" | 07:21 |
| boss | n8tuser no i'll do that now | 07:21 |
| n8tuser | boss if not, canyou post it? | 07:21 |
| === sumedh is now known as samurai | ||
| KyleK | syntac: whatever wireless driver you're using is crap then | 07:21 |
| KyleK | try ndiswrapper if you're not using it, or the other option if you are (i think its atheros that has that issue) | 07:22 |
| syntac | how do i determine what i'm using? | 07:22 |
| wwbwwb | clarify? | 07:23 |
| KyleK | lsmod |ndis? | 07:23 |
| KyleK | wwbwwb: exactly | 07:23 |
| KyleK | wwbwwb: "wrong" is very vague, like when all the computers are hooked up, are the images upside down for the xubuntu machine? | 07:23 |
| boss | n8tuser http://paste.ubuntu.com/113925/ i think it's pretty much default | 07:23 |
| n8tuser | boss add these lines | 07:24 |

| wwbwwb | i'm a beginner.not very catch your mean.but thank you very much | 07:25 |
| JakPete | sorry floodbot | 07:25 |
| Flannel | JakPete: You'll need to close synaptic, update-manager, and whatever other package managers you have, and try again. (And ignore the GPG error for now) | 07:25 |
| KyleK | syntac: nope, did you do "lsmod | ndis"? | 07:25 |

| wwbwwb | zhenhao | 07:29 |
| kreino | ok thanks | 07:29 |

| JakPete | http://paste.ubuntu.com/113926/ | 07:31 |
| harley | me being a newby to ubuntu, should I download a self extracting file or an RPM self extracting file? | 07:31 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, neither | 07:31 |
| MoLE_ | how did you go AgentHeX | 07:31 |
| arvind_khadri | !deb | harley | 07:31 |
| ubottu | harley: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 07:31 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, ? :S | 07:31 |
| Flannel | JakPete: Oh, you're adding PPAs for OOo 3? | 07:32 |
| ronsky | hey how can i get aircrack-ng installed ??? | 07:32 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, you should install stuff from the repositories | 07:32 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, then how should i go about installing java? | 07:32 |
| MoLE_ | ronsky, sudo aptitude install aircrack-ng | 07:32 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 07:33 |
| ronsky | Awesome thanks | 07:33 |
| MoLE_ | harley, sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras will also give you mp3 support and other stuff like flash | 07:33 |
| kreino | how to stop the terminal from downloading something...? i cant stop it. before i just test mttcorefonts.. but i want to cancel..? | 07:33 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, substitute jre with jdk if you want jdk... type that in the terminal | 07:33 |
| MoLE_ | kreino, press control-c | 07:33 |
| arvind_khadri | !java > harley | 07:33 |
| ubottu | harley, please see my private message | 07:33 |
| harley | MoLE_, I did that yesterday, thanks anyway :) | 07:33 |
| JakPete | Flannel: I don't know...ubuntu said I had updates available so I clicked to install\ | 07:34 |
| MoLE_ | harley, in that case you will already have java installed | 07:34 |
| JakPete | told you I was new to this | 07:34 |
| kreino | i have pressed ctrl+c, but after i download something, it will continue back.. how come? | 07:34 |
| JakPete | :( | 07:34 |
| ronsky | Awesou Mole for MP# | 07:34 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, well I'm not sure if you've heard of it. But I want to play a java based game. What java will I need? | 07:34 |
| kreino | ok.. it done. | 07:35 |
| Flannel | JakPete: Ok, Lets take a step back, did you add something to try and get OOo 3? | 07:35 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, if you have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras java must be playing... i think you may need jdk too | 07:35 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, which game? | 07:35 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, RuneScape | 07:36 |
| JakPete | Flannel: I never added anything. As I see the icon appear up the top of ubuntu, i simply click and download the latest updates | 07:36 |
| ronsky | Hey alot of this info is great | 07:36 |
| Flannel | JakPete: Is this computer shared with other people? This might not have been today | 07:36 |
| lost_and_unfound | greetings, how do i see what ports are open on my ubuntu system ? in FreeBSD I was used to sockstat -4l | 07:36 |
| JakPete | no | 07:36 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, is it a online game or something | 07:36 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, I have been playing it but it has been freezing a lot and down the bottom it said java applet failed, so I thought it may be due to java | 07:36 |
| ronsky | F&^K Windows | 07:37 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, yes a java based game. | 07:37 |
| arvind_khadri | !language | Ronald | 07:37 |

| arvind_khadri | Ronald, sorry | 07:37 |
| Slart | lost_and_unfound: I think you can use netstat with a suitable switch | 07:37 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, and uses some kind of java applet, and it keeps failing on me | 07:37 |
| arvind_khadri | !language | ronsky | 07:37 |
| ubottu | ronsky: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 07:37 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, which ubuntu? | 07:38 |
| MoLE_ | ronsky, you're welcome | 07:38 |
| ronsky | hey it wasn't spelled correctley | 07:38 |
| arvind_khadri | ronsky, but even then :P | 07:38 |
| JakPete | Flannel: I guess i may have. I am sorry to say that I never really take much notice, but just click update and let ubuntu do the work | 07:38 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, 8.10 | 07:38 |
| MoLE_ | lost_and_unfound, nmap perhaps? | 07:39 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, hmm.. no idea sorry... | 07:39 |
| harley | does anybody else here possibly know why my java applet is failing? | 07:39 |
| MoLE_ | harley, which version of java does it require? | 07:40 |
| MoLE_ | some java apps only work with specific versions harley | 07:40 |
| Flannel | JakPete: This wouldn't be something as simple as clicking the update button. That wouldn't have done this. But, alright. Somehow you added an unofficial repository, and thats what's causing the issues. Please pastebin the output of `apt-cache policy openoffice.org-core python-uno openoffice.org-writer` | 07:40 |
| harley | MoLE_, I'm not sure | 07:40 |
| ronsky | i just installed ubuntu 810 a few hours ago and just got my realtek usb drivers installed this is nice | 07:40 |
| JakPete | Flannel: I can tell you when I first got unbuntu about two weeks or so ago i did download the newest open office myself and install it | 07:40 |
| MoLE_ | harley, well this information would help you troubleshoot | 07:40 |
| harley | MoLE_, I'd say the latest version :S It's a pretty big game | 07:40 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, maybe you should try iced-tea | 07:41 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, iced-tea? | 07:41 |
| MoLE_ | harley, is it an in-browser java applet? | 07:41 |
| MoLE_ | !icedtea | 07:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about icedtea | 07:41 |
| harley | MoLE_, Yes | 07:41 |
| MoLE_ | harley, URL? | 07:42 |
| harley | MoLE_, www.runescape.com | 07:42 |
| Kingsid3 | Runescape is damnn awful | 07:42 |
| harley | Kingsid3, I like it :) | 07:42 |
| AgentHeX | MoLE_: ty much. problem solved. | 07:43 |
| freq18hz | nsgn: any luck? | 07:43 |
| JakPete | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113930/ | 07:43 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, its also a java jre like the ones sun issue... | 07:43 |
| Kingsid3 | Fare play | 07:44 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, So I need java jre? | 07:44 |
| Flannel | JakPete: alright, try `sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-core` | 07:44 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, sudo apt-get install icedtea-java7-jdk | 07:44 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, ya you need jre | 07:44 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, or iced tea? orr...? (I'm confused) :P | 07:44 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, then should I download a jre version of icedtea? | 07:45 |
| JakPete | Flannel: Install these packages without verification? | 07:45 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, first try with the sun-java jre's if its still crashing, then go for icedtea | 07:45 |
| Flannel | JakPete: If you'd like, you can hit no and we can fix the verification problem, or we can hit yes and then fix the problem aftewards. | 07:46 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, Okay, I'll have to wait for jdk to finish downloading firs | 07:46 |
| arvind_khadri | harley, ok... try once after the jdk is done too :) | 07:46 |
| harley | arvind_khadri, Alright, thanks for your support :) | 07:47 |

| MoLE_ | Imaginativeone, definitely | 08:22 |
| Imaginativeone_ | I would like to save ALL of my existing information | 08:23 |
| MoLE_ | Imaginativeone, always do a backup first | 08:23 |
| cast|lir | kevin_: i believe you can run a 64bit kernel with a 32bit userland fine enough | 08:23 |
| Peddyt | I'm trying to compile some c++ source code, but I'm getting multiple errors: http://pastebin.com/m7d8ee989 Can someone please tell me what they mean and how to fix them? | 08:23 |

| Imaginativeone_ | I don't know how to do a backup | 08:23 |
| Imaginativeone_ | can I just risk it? | 08:23 |
| kevin_ | perhaps i should just dl the 64-bit version and go with it | 08:23 |
| MoLE_ | Imaginativeone, I wouldn't | 08:23 |
| JakPete | Flannel: | 08:24 |
| Imaginativeone_ | so, what do I do? just NOT partition the drives? | 08:24 |
| JakPete | Flannel: ok. saved it | 08:24 |
| kevin_ | i do want to run 32-bit apps with wine though | 08:24 |
| MoLE_ | Imaginativeone, you might want to investigate Clonezilla to solve your backup problem | 08:24 |
| Imaginativeone_ | Mole thanks VERY much!! | 08:24 |
| Imaginativeone_ | I will check that out | 08:25 |
| cast|lir | kevin_: one can create a 32bit chroot, though what would be better from a compatibility perspective would be to just run windows in a vm | 08:25 |
| MoLE_ | Imaginativeone, you're welcome | 08:25 |
| JakPete | Flannel: and completed the rest of the task | 08:25 |
| MoLE_ | Imaginativeone, http://clonezilla.org | 08:25 |
| Flannel | JakPete: alright, do sudo apt-get update again, (this time, you shouldn't have the authentication errors) and then try sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-core | 08:25 |
| kevin_ | i mostly want to run windows games though, so a vm is not an option. it came with vista, but vista is slow and i don't want to learn a new UI :) | 08:25 |
| Imaginativeone_ | I hope Clonezilla compresses... | 08:25 |
| Imaginativeone_ | I have to back up 600GB | 08:26 |

| MoLE_ | what are you backing up to Imaginativeone | 08:26 |
| MoLE_ | dvd or hard drive Imaginativeone | 08:27 |
| JakPete | Flannel: it said the following packages could not be authenticated. But, it is downloading now so that seems to be more than before | 08:27 |
| Imaginativeone_ | Mole: DVD | 08:29 |
| Imaginativeone_ | should I use CloneZilla live? | 08:29 |
| MoLE_ | Imaginativeone, yes | 08:29 |

| ActionParsnip2 | pluma: is it configured though? | 09:53 |
| ambitoun | my english is very poor | 09:53 |
| pluma | ActionParsnip2: I had to add the network via the settings as the network picker wouldn't let me select WPA, though. | 09:53 |
| Peddyt | How would I reconnect a USB device as if it were physically unplugged and replugged? ie, dropping all power to the device and everything. | 09:53 |

| sexcopter | pluma: which version of ubuntu are you using? | 09:54 |
| pluma | sexcopter: Intrepid | 09:54 |
| pluma | sexcopter: Intrepid Ipex 8.10 64bit, to be exact. | 09:54 |
| is_null | i think this command should be run before updating a liveusb system: cd /var/cache/apt && mv archives/* /tmp/ && rm -rf archives && ln -sfn /tmp archives | 09:54 |

| ubottu | pluma: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 09:54 |

| ActionParsnip2 | is_null: not sure duder | 09:55 |

| is_null | ActionParsnip2, then i'm telling you ;) | 09:55 |
| is_null | thanks for the help | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip2 | is_null: i'd make a folder withinn tmp to use | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip2 | is_null: np man | 09:55 |
| prince_jammys | is_null: you'll have a bunch of loose files in /tmp | 09:55 |
| is_null | i don't care because ubuntu liveusb mounts a tmpfs in /tmp, which means that /tmp is in the ram, and those data will die when i shut down | 09:56 |
| nathanhelp | does anyone have any experience with digital still cameras and glibphoto2? | 09:56 |
| prince_jammys | is_null: move the whole dir if you're going to do that, and link to the dir | 09:56 |
| pluma | ActionParsnip2: Keyring and WPA seem to be working. Only problem is when I try to log in it seems to encrypt the key I enter and show me that when it fails to connect rather than the key I entered, which leads me to believe that it doesn't handle the key as it should. | 09:56 |
| pluma | I'll try that then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo | 09:57 |
| pluma | Bummer I have to wait until I get home before I can give it a try. | 09:58 |
| cheeky | whats a good graphics card that would work with ubuntu and would be able to handle the latest games pretty well ? | 09:58 |
| pluma | Thanks for the help, though. | 09:58 |
| pluma | cheeky: Nvidia | 09:58 |
| is_null | prince_jammys, that works as well | 09:58 |
| pluma | cheeky: Almost any nVidia card should do. Just stay away from ATI if you want to avoid trouble. | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip2 | !hcl | cheeky | 09:58 |
| ubottu | cheeky: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 09:58 |
| Slart | cheeky: at the moment, nvidia | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nvidia all the way here | 09:59 |
| cheeky | ok | 09:59 |
| pluma | cheeky: In theory any card should work, but nvidia saves you some trouble with 3D stuff. | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip2 | depends if you need 3D | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip2 | if its not needed, any card will fly | 09:59 |
| cheeky | any model number, with nvidia ? | 09:59 |
| sexcopter | cheeky: i think nvidia is better supported, but ati is more open and in the spirit of open-source, and support for it is improving | 10:00 |

| abhi__ | how to remove completely pidgin files | 10:12 |
| Slart | abhi__: sudo apt-get remove --purge pidgin ought to do it | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Bobblybook: if you rename the interfaces file you editted and reboot you will have no network config which may help, you wil get a blank config which you can resetup | 10:13 |
| abhi__ | thanks dude | 10:13 |
| Slart | biomass: afaik not all libraries are made available in ia32-libs.. perhaps they didn't see a reason to include it | 10:13 |
| biomass | Slart: yeah most likely I guess, too bad its the only library i need to get this 32bit app running =) | 10:14 |
| jedfox | - connect irc.oftc.com | 10:14 |
| Slart | biomass: you can't compile it yourself? or get the 32-bit library from packages.ubuntu.com ? | 10:15 |
| jedfox | sorry | 10:15 |
| Bobblybook | ActionParsnip2: Ok, how would I do that? | 10:15 |
| ruediix | Hello, I'm back. Does anyone know how to override the refusal of x64 Ubuntu to install i386-i686 packages. | 10:15 |
| Slart | ruediix: you can use dpkg with a force option.. but think twice before doing it | 10:16 |
| minato | Hi | 10:16 |
| biomass | Slart: that's my next step I guess =) is there a way to use a 32bit package and get it properly installed in /usr/lib32 ? | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Bobblybook: sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old | 10:16 |
| ruediix | Slart, Yes, always check that you have the compatability libraries installed. | 10:16 |
| minato | wer spricht deutsch? | 10:16 |
| Slart | biomass: I don't know really.. I've never had to do it myself | 10:16 |
| Bobblybook | ActionParsnip2: Thanks, rebooting. | 10:17 |

| fplive | hello | 10:17 |
| shital | i have downloaded all the packages for 8.10 manually, now i want them to be installed through Synaptic on system which do not have net connection, so how i can tell the SPM, to look a folder for the extra packages? | 10:17 |
| ruediix | Slart they should make the compatability libraries package add i386 as a supported architecture. | 10:18 |
| Briareos1 | can i configure ubuntu so that if a user creates a file in a specific directory the permissions are set to GROUP1 and if they create a file in another directory it will be set to GROUP2? | 10:18 |
| Slart | biomass: ah.. looks interesting.. please let us know if it worked | 10:18 |
| fw1 | Briareos1, i think you want to set the group sticky bit | 10:18 |
| Briareos1 | fw1 what does that do? | 10:19 |
| shital | is that possible?? | 10:19 |
| RaverWild | hello guys. question: is it normal the system monitor gnome applet to indicate almost 100% network usage when i do nothing? i have a hardy installation at work - never happens there. intrepid installation at home - never happens when i do something. as i stop (nearly fresh installation, with everything closed) the network indicator goes at almost 100%. is there a daemon in intrepid which does that? | 10:19 |
| Slart | shital: take a look at aptoncd, it might be helpful | 10:19 |
| shital | ok fine | 10:19 |
| Slart | RaverWild: I think it sets maximum to whatever max activity has been.. so if you're not using the network it would stay very high | 10:20 |
| Bobblybook | ActionParsnip2: OK, I have no interface file now, but my wired and wireless connections are still saved | 10:21 |
| jtaji | Briareos1: change the group owner of the directory, and then chmod the directory setgid, i.e. chgrp group1 directory1 && chmod g+s directory1 | 10:21 |
| echo__ | hi. I just used the 'Hipo' ipod software, any now my ipod shows no music, yet Hipo still shows it all there. Any ideas? | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Bobblybook: ok now fire up your connection manager software and setup | 10:21 |
| biomass | Slart: it worked =) only problem I noticed was that it referred to its own man page which wasn't available. | 10:23 |
| Slart | biomass: ah.. I can live without a man page as long as it works =) | 10:24 |
| scientes | how can i get ubuntu to stop messing with ctrl alt f1 | 10:26 |
| scientes | it grabs it and pulls me back to X | 10:26 |
| scientes | when something goes wrong this prevents me from fixing | 10:27 |
| scientes | it | 10:27 |
| Briareos1 | jtaji cool! it even works via samba :) ... but now i got the problem that files created via the file system get the permissions -rw-r--r-- .... but i'd need -rw-rw---- instead | 10:27 |
| scientes | and its another example of the computer trying to tell me what i want | 10:27 |
| === mike is now known as Guest91865 | ||
| Slart | scientes: how do you mean, it pulls you back to X? | 10:27 |
| scientes | try it | 10:27 |
| scientes | ctrl-alt-f1 | 10:28 |
| scientes | you have to do it twice | 10:28 |
| Slart | scientes: ah.. ok.. I've always blamed nvidia for that... for a while it didn't work at all | 10:28 |
| jtaji | Briareos1: the umask needs to be changed from 022 to 002, you can set it for the file system in /etc/fstab | 10:28 |
| jtaji | Briareos1: with a umask=002 option | 10:28 |
| scientes | why would nvidia grab my keystrokes | 10:28 |
| scientes | it pisses me off cause a few times X has frozen and i cant fix it | 10:28 |
| Slart | scientes: I think it was a bug in the nvidia driver when switching to "text mode" | 10:29 |
| scientes | makes me want to turn ssh on so i can remote log in and fix it | 10:29 |
| scientes | so if i use the framebufer driver i wont have it? | 10:29 |
| Briareos1 | jtaji hmm okay so it's not possible directory-specific? | 10:29 |
| scientes | cause i hve witnessed the same problem with the framebuffer | 10:29 |
| Slart | scientes: I have no idea.. I have ssh server enabled for fixing things =) | 10:30 |
| jtaji | Briareos1: I don't think so.. but it won't hurt with ubuntu, since the default is to use private groups (group with same name as user) | 10:30 |
| Briareos1 | jtaji yeah i just about it - furtunately everything i want to have that permission is on one and the same partition anyway. thanks a lot! | 10:31 |
| jtaji | Briareos1: I'm wrong... | 10:31 |
| jtaji | Briareos1: you can set the umask in ~/.profile or /etc/profile | 10:32 |
| cappiz | is it possible to install ubuntu on a software raid? | 10:32 |
| jtaji | Briareos1: for all users change the umask at the end of /etc/profile, or use the individual users .profile | 10:33 |
| shital | is it possible to add the locally saved .iso image to the synaptic package Manager?? | 10:33 |
| Slart | cappiz: yes.. using the alternate install cd or using other tricks | 10:34 |
| Slart | !alternate | cappiz | 10:34 |
| ubottu | cappiz: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 10:34 |
| jtaji | Briareos1: and I bet there's a way to do it per directory that I'm not aware of | 10:34 |
| Briareos1 | jtaji nice | 10:34 |
| shital | is that possible? | 10:35 |
| jtaji | Briareos1: ok maybe not per dir :p | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip2 | shital: you could mount it using loop device and update from it after you add it as a repo | 10:41 |
| Briareos1 | jtaji actually i needed umask 006 ;) | 10:42 |
| shital | ActionParsnip2: even then there is no way to add right? | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip2 | shital: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip2 | shital: that tells you you can mount the iso | 10:42 |
| Briareos1 | jtaji ehm 007 i mean | 10:43 |
| Briareos1 | jtaji no license to kill for "others" | 10:43 |

| Kottizen | tparcina: Hi | 11:13 |
| Kottizen | I am trying to log in as "root", but is does not works. How will I do? | 11:13 |
| shital | ziroday`: that will create an iso, which we need to burn and then add to SPM, but i have all packages locally saved | 11:13 |
| TecnaTranux | ziroday`: I installed to nvidia driver, ran nvidia-xconfig, and restarted gdm. why would vesa still be active? | 11:14 |
| tparcina | I'm having problem finding driver for Konica Minolta bizhub 163. Can someone help me? | 11:14 |
| Bi-Man | now good folks i think i am leaving now | 11:14 |
| ziroday` | shad_: right. You shouldn't have to configure anything. In a terminal run lspci and then go to pastebin.com and copy the output and paste it in the site and hit send. Then pass the url on to us. | 11:14 |
| askand | ziroday`: thanks | 11:14 |

| shad_ | ziroday, http://pastebin.com/m5719ec00 | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: its lower case | 11:16 |
| ziroday | shad_: thanks! | 11:16 |
| Peddy | ziroday, is it possible to do that with a device that's not mounted? | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: linux is hugely case sensitive so you cant just throw in caps when you feel | 11:16 |
| TecnaTranux | ziroday: I had a feeling... :) | 11:16 |
| ziroday | Peddy: well then you would just need to mount it? | 11:16 |
| quibbler | tparcina: try here: http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=KONICA_MINOLTA-bizhub_163 | 11:17 |
| ziroday | shad_: I can't see a camera in there. Is it connected via usb? | 11:17 |
| Peddy | ziroday, would that umount disconnect power and everything to it? Is it even possible for software to close down power to a single USB port? | 11:17 |
| tparcina | quibbler: thank you for link, I'll check it right now | 11:17 |
| crekarasu | ActionParsnip2 yes E: Could not find package tcl-devel | 11:17 |
| ziroday | Peddy: not sure sorry. | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: apt-cache search tcl | grep -i dev | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: you need the dev package for tcl | 11:17 |
| crekarasu | yes | 11:17 |
| Peddy | ziroday, thanks for your help, it's just my device is not 'mountable', it doesn't have a filesystem on it. | 11:18 |
| TecnaTranux | *facepalm!* Why didn't I notice this before?? xorg.conf is missing ALOT!! | 11:18 |
| ziroday | Peddy: you can still see it with sudo fdisk -l | 11:18 |
| ziroday | TecnaTranux: thats normal | 11:18 |
| TecnaTranux | http://paste.ubuntu.com/113988/ | 11:18 |
| ziroday | TecnaTranux: however you might have to define that is needs to use the nvidia driver | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip2 | TecnaTranux: in intrepid its very minimal as HAL controls a lot now | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip2 | TecnaTranux: looks ok | 11:19 |
| crekarasu | ActionParsnip2 http://paste.ubuntu.com/113990/ | 11:19 |
| ziroday | TecnaTranux: okay you've told it to use the nvidia driver. Did you just edit that? | 11:19 |
| Peddy | thanks for your help ziroday | 11:19 |
| TecnaTranux | no | 11:19 |
| ziroday | TecnaTranux: all right. Does nvidia-settings open without errors? | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: 4th line has: tcl-dev - The Tool Command Language (default version) - development files | 11:19 |
| TecnaTranux | no. I already said that is gives me, "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: you need one of those. I'd suspect one of the top 10 | 11:20 |
| TecnaTranux | I followed those instructions, and it didn't help | 11:20 |
| jedi06 | how do you increate the volume is there a setting for that becuase my laptop doesn't get very loud at all i can barely hear it | 11:20 |
| ziroday | TecnaTranux: okay, have you tried restarting your xserver? | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip2 | TecnaTranux: did you restart x after running sudo nvidia-xconfig? | 11:20 |
| jedi06 | there is a multimedia button to turn up volume mayber there is a master volume setting | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip2 | jedi06: there should be a volume icon someplace which you can crank with | 11:21 |
| TecnaTranux | yes. please note "(2009-02-05 10:56:06) TecnaTranux: brb, restarting x server" | 11:21 |
| jedi06 | so i can turn it up louder | 11:21 |
| ziroday | jedi06: try opening the gnome mixer by right clicking on the volume and then make sure PCM and Front are near max | 11:21 |
| crekarasu | ActionParsnip2 What should I do now? I know very well with Linux | 11:21 |
| ziroday | TecnaTranux: sorry I didn't see that :) | 11:21 |
| jedi06 | ok that was it thanks | 11:21 |
| TecnaTranux | but what I notice missing is that there is a second device (not in use) that should be configured. | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: read the readme in your source or the website from where you got the source, it will tell you whats required | 11:22 |
| jedi06 | what is the diff in pcm and from | 11:23 |
| jedi06 | front | 11:23 |
| crekarasu | ActionParsnip2 required tclConfig.sh but I installel tcl-dev ... and it works ! | 11:23 |
| ziroday | jedi06: they are just volume settings. Make sure they're at max | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: awesome | 11:23 |
| jedi06 | yes what do they stand for | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: you said it couldnt find it before.... | 11:23 |
| ziroday | jedi06: well Front is just the front speakers, and pcm is part of the output. | 11:24 |
| crekarasu | ActionParsnip2 i resolved the problem! tank you | 11:24 |
| crekarasu | ActionParsnip2 how to install gmake? | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: ahh it was dev, not devel | 11:24 |
| jedi06 | ok thanks | 11:24 |
| crekarasu | yes ActionParsnip2 dev not devel ;) | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 11:24 |
| askand | Can someone with a eee pc 900 and a working internal mic check their values in volumemixer? | 11:25 |
| TecnaTranux | ziroday: This is my xorg.conf from before I upgraded: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113992/ | 11:25 |
| crekarasu | ActionParsnip2 and "build-essential" is gmake? | 11:25 |
| TecnaTranux | note the sis device | 11:25 |
| ziroday | askand: also sorry, #eeepc and #debian-eeepc on irc.oftc.net are great places to ask too :). Sorry forgot about them before | 11:26 |
| TecnaTranux | should I restore the old xorg.conf? | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: no it will install a whole environment for compiling including a lot of libs that compiling takes | 11:26 |
| ziroday | TecnaTranux: err I don't think the nvidia drivers support cards that old | 11:26 |
| crekarasu | ok ActionParsnip2 tanks ! | 11:26 |
| TecnaTranux | ziroday, what do you mean? | 11:27 |
| ziroday | TecnaTranux: do you have a Geforce 2? | 11:27 |
| TecnaTranux | yes | 11:27 |
| ziroday | TecnaTranux: the nvidia drivers don't support that. Nv might | 11:27 |
| askand | ziroday: thanks found the error now, stupid pulseaudio | 11:27 |
| ziroday | TecnaTranux: there's your problem :) | 11:27 |
| ziroday | askand: awesome! | 11:27 |
| TecnaTranux | how do I install nv? | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip2 | TecnaTranux: are you using nvidia-glx-71 | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip2 | TecnaTranux: supports all the way down to RIVA TNT | 11:28 |
| TecnaTranux | ActionParsnip2: let me check synaptic | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip2 | TecnaTranux: you need to sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-71 | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip2 | TecnaTranux: just use that command, synaptic takes forever | 11:29 |
| ziroday | ActionParsnip2: oh really? Cause from nvidia.com they don't support past Geforce 4 | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ziroday: read it yourself; https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/nvidia-glx-71/71.86.04-0ubuntu5 | 11:29 |
| tparcina | quibbler: I have followed the instructions but it doesn't seem like the driver is installed | 11:29 |
| TecnaTranux | ziroday: I had the device working once before I downgraded. | 11:30 |
| ziroday | ActionParsnip2: never doubted ya :). Sweet never realised that thanks! | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ziroday: I dont use the nvidia site. I always use off repos so upgrades are smooth | 11:30 |
| tparcina | quibbler: first I have installed lsb package, then I have installed that package that I have downloaded from that web page - openprinting-ppds-postscript-konica-minolta_20081112-1lsb3.2_all.deb | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ziroday: but yeah its rocked in that driver :) | 11:30 |
| TecnaTranux | I was using glx-96 before the downgrade to hardy, but there was a glitch that scrambled text in wine | 11:31 |
| tparcina | quibbler: and when I try ti set up new printer, in the list there is KONICA MINOLTA, but inside KONICA MINOLTA there isn't my model | 11:31 |
| tparcina | Knoica Minolta bizhub 163, can anyone help me with driver installation? | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip2 | tparcina: try dpkg -x ./openprinting-ppds-postscript-konica-minolta_20081112-1lsb3.2_all.deb | 11:32 |
| quibbler | tparcina: is there a model close to yours? | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip2 | tparcina: and find the ppd file | 11:32 |
| tparcina | I have tried driver from this web page, but id desn't seem to work (or I have done something wrong - http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=KONICA_MINOLTA-bizhub_163) | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip2 | tparcina: that will extract the data from the deb | 11:32 |
| === dzup-beback is now known as dzup | ||
| tparcina | ActionParsnip2: I have tried that one, and it seams that I have installed that package corectly, but when I try to set up the printer I can see KONICA MINOLTA, but inside KONICA MINOLTA I don't see my model | 11:33 |
| TecnaTranux | ah, yes... I now remember why I stopped trying to use glx-71 | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip2 | tparcina: what model is it? | 11:34 |
| TecnaTranux | it removes nvidia-xconfig | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip2 | TecnaTranux: then use your old xorg.conf and then its not needed ;) | 11:34 |
| TecnaTranux | I was in the middle of renaming and copy/pasting it just now | 11:35 |
| TecnaTranux | :) | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip2 | great minds eh | 11:35 |
| quibbler | tparcina: did you read the how to install here: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/DriverPackages | 11:36 |
| TecnaTranux | (I always have to rewrite something in xorg.conf whenever I run nvidia-xconfig, anyway | 11:36 |
| tparcina | ActionParsnip2: I have extracted that deb package, but it seamse that there is no 163 model | 11:36 |
| tparcina | ActionParsnip2: Can I use some other model driver? | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip2 | tparcina: well just try one of the others, one in the same range should be fine | 11:37 |
| tparcina | ActionParsnip2: it's Konica Minolta bizhub 163 | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip2 | tparcina: like a 162 or 164 | 11:37 |
| crekarasu | ActionParsnip2 can help me to install gmake ? build-essential it`s already installed and updated | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip2 | just 16* | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: sudo apt-get install gmake | 11:37 |
| tparcina | quibbler: yes, I have followed those instructions | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: or try: apt-cache search gmake | 11:38 |
| crekarasu | gmake no found | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: if you dont have a package you can apt-cache search for it | 11:38 |

| crekarasu | cfgstoragemaker - MRTG config generator for storage monitoring via SNMP | 11:38 |

| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: and why are you compiling an older version of postgresql? 8.3 is on the repos | 11:42 |
| tparcina | I guess, the only problem is that on those web pages http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=KONICA_MINOLTA-bizhub_163 and in this file openprinting-ppds-postscript-konica-minolta_20081112-1lsb3.2_all.deb there is no driver for Konica Minolta bizhub 163 | 11:42 |
| crekarasu | ActionParsnip2 it's inconvenient for sudo | 11:42 |
| tparcina | so, I'm still at first stage - searching for Konica Minolta 163 Linux driver :( | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: well all the commands i'm giving have sudo | 11:43 |
| crekarasu | ActionParsnip2 i need only this version | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: by enabling root you have severely lessend your security, just an fyi | 11:43 |
| cast|lir | ActionParsnip2: quite open to debate that is ;P | 11:44 |
| crekarasu | does not matter, it can only access locally installed with vmware workstation , i user windows | 11:45 |
| cast|lir | notice the seurity paranoid openbsd comes with root enabled :) | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip2 | cast|lir: well its to be dis-advised | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip2 | crekarasu: thought so | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip2 | !root | 11:46 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 11:46 |

| ActionParsnip2 | sammmmy1357: how do you mean "use" do you mean synchronise? | 12:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Akram To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 12:45 |
| sammmmy1357 | yes actionparsnip...syunch and open...my sony ericsson w810i opens like a storage device the moment i connect it... | 12:46 |

| Jack_Sparrow | mib First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify the perm | 13:01 |

| ronny | my laptops hd had a password to access it from the bios | 13:04 |

| mib | Action: your solution to the fstab also fix the permission file simialry? | 13:06 |
| ronny | anyone? | 13:06 |
| zgmf-x20a | jrib: well it does work fine, whenever i dl the torrent to desktop then double click to open. but i want to be abel to click it, and the default is set to ktorrent, not transmission, and yes this is thru firefox | 13:06 |
| jrib | zgmf-x20a: then check your firefox preferences | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip2 | mib: try the chown first, but i'd try the fstab if its no good | 13:06 |
| mib | ive tryt the one suggested by Jack _Sparrow | 13:07 |
| mib | now i could see the Create fdolder/file | 13:07 |
| mib | so im not sure whats the difference with the one with the fstab ones | 13:08 |

| adi1 | how can I make ubuntu recognize the default resolution in boot screen'? | 13:53 |

| ninom | is there a program in ubuntu that checks for hard drive errors. and fixes them, i have a 250 sata hard drive | 13:53 |
| phanter | hi there | 13:53 |
| mib_4dg4mup9 | edgy is there anyway the same raid drivers are not being loaded as are in the install cd? | 13:53 |
| ninom | i cant partition this hard drive it gives me an error | 13:53 |
| derspankster | adi1: modify usplash to reflect your resolution | 13:54 |
| adi1 | any idea? | 13:54 |
| adi1 | thanks | 13:54 |
| Hew | ninom: Yes, it's very different, but there are a great deal of advantages which I'm sure you are aware of. I hope you have success in learning about it! | 13:54 |

| CQ | sounds to me like a x86/amd64 issue, or something with glibc | 14:07 |

| Praveen | CQ: /bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped | 14:07 |

| CQ | notsi: just ask a question, someone will answer if they know | 14:08 |
| jrib | Praveen: I'd run chkrootkit and read the google hits for "ls: unrecognized prefix: do" as some of them are quite detailed (for example: http://www.jiny.kr/jiny/tag/365 ) If you do have some sort of rootkit, then I'd just reinstall (and be more careful with ssh and whatever other services you run). | 14:08 |

| JackWinter | Jeruvy: oh my grub is fine, i even have /boot on it's separate partition so that no os can mess with my menu.lst :) have already forgotten more than i wanted to know about grub, but it really does work well... | 15:04 |
| Dr_willis | If the BIOS isent even seeing the Hard drive - thats a bad sign | 15:05 |
| distant_voice | kitche: whenever i try to add new repositories and click ->reload there's an error message. something about a security key and launchpad I think. is this a bug, and is it known? | 15:05 |
| Dillizar | !libmtb | 15:05 |
| c0rrupt0r | slusk88: what distro version you using? | 15:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about libmtb | 15:05 |
| kitche | distant_voice: nope not a bug you just don't have the keys for the new repositories which you can find on the repsitories pages | 15:05 |
| Jeruvy | JackWinter: grub is god...but supergrub is really not even good. Better to use ubcd | 15:05 |
| c0rrupt0r | kitche: i did the following command grep -Ri Use ~/ and it took a while to write a full book so what would i happen to look for? | 15:06 |

| furythor | Okay, I decided to test that does my problem persists without nvidia 96 driver which is recommended driver for my graphics card, and problem does not continue | 15:06 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | All right, I'll be back in a bit. Breakfast is calling. | 15:07 |
| kitche | distant_voice: as I said from the repo's webpage | 15:07 |
| JackWinter | Jeruvy: don't know ubcd. have to google that. i only thought that the guy with the grub problem could use the supergrub cd. only use it when something has clobbered the stage1 loader | 15:07 |
| kitche | c0rrupt0r: for anything dealing with .bashprofile and .bashrc | 15:07 |
| c0rrupt0r | ok i will do that ty kitche | 15:07 |
| Jeruvy | JackWinter: use ubuntu desktop (livecd) for that...better. | 15:07 |
| distant_voice | kitche: oh my bad. well, I'll try to figure that out. thanks for the help | 15:07 |

| scunizi | !sound | slusk | 15:58 |
| ubottu | slusk: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 15:58 |
| slusk | thanks alot! | 15:58 |
| geirha | obst: And, yes. bash searches each directory in PATH, starting with the first listed, until it finds an executable called gcc, and runs that. "type -a gcc" will show all hits | 15:58 |
| scunizi | sai: yes | 15:58 |
| scunizi | !multimedia | slusk | 15:58 |
| ubottu | slusk: Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications | 15:58 |

| stigerten | Hello, I got my new fujitsu siemens amilo pa3553 laptop today, and when im trying to install ubuntu there comming a message about somw wiki end root commands. a black screan with text. On my last latptop that dident come. the installation dossent start.. What can be wrong? | 16:04 |
| |TJH| | hello, anyone know a way to remove case sensitivity for the username?... perhaps option on pam_unix.so module? | 16:05 |
| adi1 | what is "ath9k wifi"? | 16:06 |
| ldiamond | Does anyone know why Ubuntu sometimes freezes when I plug my ethernet cable | 16:06 |
| adi1 | the chipset? | 16:06 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | |TJH|: Doubt it. The entire Linux system is based on case sensistivity. | 16:06 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | brb | 16:06 |
| cast|lir | |TJH|: dont knwo offhand of away that doesn't involve patching, why would you want to do that? | 16:06 |
| nDuff | stigerten, ...well, we can start trying to look at what's going on. Is the text on screen a login prompt? If so, can you log in with the username "root" and the administrator password you set during installation? | 16:07 |
| wikkedfin | Atheros chipset | 16:07 |
| nDuff | stigerten, ...actually, strike that, I was thinking older distros, just log in as yourself. | 16:07 |
| adi1 | wikkedfin | yes but how to find out who have a atheros chpset? | 16:07 |
| adi1 | there are so many brands out there | 16:08 |
| |TJH| | cast|lir: to reduce help calls. I use pam_ldap.so and/or pam_krb5.so on centos machines - no case issue. Setting up ubuntu workstations with pam_unix, case issue came up. | 16:08 |
| darius_ | hello | 16:08 |
| nDuff | stigerten, ...once you're in, run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm status"; that should tell whether the GUI is uninstalled, or installed but not working. | 16:08 |
| ichbinesderelch | adi1: is it a usb or pci wireless card? | 16:08 |

| ViperBorg_TERM | !root | 16:19 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:19 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 16:20 |

| nDuff | stigerten, ...I can't give you a surefire fix knowing only what I do right now, no. It may be that your video chipset is one that isn't autoconfigured correctly, but it'd be a bit of doing to work through diagnosing that. | 16:24 |

| === Snigepige_ is now known as Snigepige | ||
| usr13_ | nickrud: I should probably edit sudo | 16:34 |
| LostGuy | i was just trying to find out what filesystems ubuntu supported | 16:34 |
| stigerten | nDuff: The same thing when i try "try before install" | 16:34 |
| usr13_ | Right? | 16:34 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM in update manager it doesn't give me "upgrade" option. should i "partial update" ? | 16:34 |
| nickrud | usr13, no, don't edit sudo. just don't add a user you don't want using sudo to the admin group | 16:34 |
| === Bruce is now known as Brucee | ||
| usr13_ | nickrud: Ok | 16:35 |
| gnomino | ciao tutti | 16:35 |
| usr13_ | nickrud: What is adm ? | 16:35 |
| usr13_ | gourp adm | 16:35 |
| igor__ | Anyone run ubuntu on an eee pc? | 16:35 |
| vigo_ | LostGuy: Linux | 16:35 |
| gnomino | mi date il link pastebin? | 16:35 |
| lvlefisto | !it | gnomino | 16:35 |
| ubottu | gnomino: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 16:35 |
| nDuff | stigerten, OK -- so at least it's consistent. While it's in that state, it should be possible to look at some logs to figure out what might be going on, though that's something that would be easier if you had a friendly expert nearby rather than trying to do it over IRC. Incidentally, a bit of googling indicated that someone else has done a successful Ubuntu install on the same model laptop, so it should be possible *somehow*. | 16:35 |
| LostGuy | also has anyone had any luck installing nvidia graphics drivers in a computer with more than 2 gigs of memory | 16:36 |
| nickrud | usr13, sor of a sub admin acount; mostly used to limit access to system logs that I've seen | 16:36 |
| cast|lir | LostGuy: sure, i have 4gb | 16:36 |
| LostGuy | how did u do it? | 16:36 |
| arvind_khadri | LostGuy, 2gb as in RAM? | 16:36 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM ?? YOU HERE? | 16:36 |
| LostGuy | yea | 16:36 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: No, you need to go to System > Administration > Sortware Sources | 16:36 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | Yep. | 16:36 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | Just typing. | 16:36 |
| archman | ok, sorry | 16:36 |
| cast|lir | worked fine. was an amd64 bit debian install | 16:36 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: Select the Updates tab. | 16:36 |
| nickrud | usr13, for example, if your user is not in the adm group, they can't see /var/log/syslog | 16:36 |
| archman | yes, done | 16:37 |
| stigerten | nDuff: Can you give me link to the google site? i havent found anything :( | 16:37 |
| usr13_ | nickrud: Actually, the user does not even know how to use command line, so sudo is not really the issue. I jsut don't want her to be able to mess up the system via GUI abilities. | 16:37 |
| arvind_khadri | LostGuy, install the restricted drivers | 16:37 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: Then you can select what type of updates you want there. | 16:37 |
| Barnose | Anyone know if there is a chat like #Ubuntu but for windows xp?? If so could you tell me HOW I could get into it. ty | 16:37 |
| usr13_ | nickrud: Is that possible? | 16:37 |
| nickrud | usr13, no sudo, no writing outside of their own personal home. | 16:37 |
| LostGuy | those fail for me as well | 16:37 |
| arvind_khadri | LostGuy, which card | 16:37 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM thanks! i'll try it | 16:37 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: Under "Release upgrade", select Normal Releases instead of Long Term Releases. | 16:37 |
| arvind_khadri | Barnose, ##windows | 16:37 |
| nickrud | usr13, not giving sudo is exactly what you want to do. No sudo = no synaptic, no access to anything in the admin menu, etc | 16:37 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | No problem. | 16:38 |
| nDuff | stigerten, the post at http://forum.fujitsu-siemens.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=34804#p112231 talks about getting the wireless working -- and indicates that the rest of the install prior was already done successfully. | 16:38 |
| LostGuy | i have an nvidia 9500m gs in an asus laptop with 4 GB of ram | 16:38 |
| usr13_ | nickrud: Ok, very good. I'll exclude from admin | 16:38 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM yes, did it already ;) | 16:38 |
| arvind_khadri | Barnose, type /join ##windows | 16:38 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | Okay. :) Good luck! | 16:38 |
| nDuff | stigerten, ...unfortunately, it doesn't give details (within that same post, at least) on how they worked around the X problems. | 16:38 |
| Barnose | arvind_khadri, ty | 16:38 |
| arvind_khadri | Barnose, np | 16:38 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM btw.: my sound and movies don't work no more, it's ok ill upgrade and then seek for help... | 16:38 |
| Barnose | arvind_khadri, Cool, I can be in both places at once, tyvm | 16:38 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: Yes, that's fine. | 16:39 |
| danielbw | what does mmh mean? | 16:39 |
| darius_ | guys, is there a way I can set gedit to open all text files as default and I wouldn | 16:39 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: The update may even come with drivers to fix that, or they may become available after the update. | 16:39 |
| kwsn | ok, I have an issue, that being whenever I try to view a flash object in firefox (the bigger it is, the more likely this happens), it locks up and crashes | 16:39 |
| danielbw | someone used that in a conversation and I am embarrassed to ask | 16:39 |
| arvind_khadri | LostGuy, which ubuntu?? and please use name so that the message doesnt get lost | 16:40 |
| arvind_khadri | !tab | lost_and_unfound | 16:40 |
| ubottu | lost_and_unfound: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 16:40 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM btw.: when i tried to play the movie, whole gdm crashed to login screen... | 16:40 |
| arvind_khadri | !tab | LostGuy | 16:40 |
| ubottu | LostGuy: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 16:40 |
| LostGuy | i tried 8.04 and 8.10 | 16:40 |
| usr13_ | nickrud: Ok, done. But... just realizing, that if one had done that and there was only one user on a new ubuntu system, it would be hard to do any sort of administrative tasks, and how would you fix such a situation? | 16:40 |
| arvind_khadri | lost_and_unfound, sorry not for you | 16:40 |
| arvind_khadri | LostGuy, which one are you using now??? | 16:40 |
| danielbw | what does mmh mean? someone used that in a conversation and I am embarrassed to ask | 16:40 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: Ok. Give the update a shot and try again. It may be as simple as a fixed bug. | 16:40 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM btw.: for the sound, it was used or so... | 16:40 |
| LostGuy | im in windows right now | 16:40 |
| nickrud | usr13, boot into recovery mode, and run in the console adduser <user> admin . recovery console is a root account | 16:40 |
| usr13_ | nickrud: In other words, at least one user needs to be in admin group if there is no root account. | 16:41 |
| LostGuy | archman im in windows right now | 16:41 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM btw.: ok, see you (do i need to shut terminal during the update? | 16:41 |
| usr13_ | nickrud: Oh, ok. very good. thanks. | 16:41 |
| nickrud | usr13, off to work, have fun :) | 16:41 |
| archman | LostGuy: what? | 16:41 |
| MacGyverNL | Never mind, I've found it. Quite... Intuitive, I guess. | 16:41 |
| usr13_ | nickrud: Now that I have exlcuded that user from admin, will she be able to install new applications? | 16:41 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: Shutting the terminal won't matter during the update, the machine will need a restart after it's done. It'll prompt you for the restart. | 16:41 |
| |REM| | I have an ubuntu desktop that I am going to access remotely only. Right now, when I reboot, it complains because there isnt a monitor hooked up and I have to go to it and hook the monitor up to get it to finish booting. How can I fix this? | 16:41 |
| vigo_ | usr13: Yes, there has to be one root/sudo to administer it. | 16:41 |
| kwsn | ok, I have an issue, that being whenever I try to view a flash object in firefox (the bigger it is, the more likely this happens), it locks up and crashes, anyone know why and/or how to fix this? | 16:42 |
| LostGuy | archman: are you asking what operating system im using right now? | 16:42 |
| archman | LostGuy: no... didnt ask you anything | 16:42 |
| usr13_ | vigo_: But if a user is not in the admin group, can he/she install new apps? (Use synaptic package manager)? | 16:42 |
| LostGuy | archman: oh sorry then | 16:42 |
| arvind_khadri | LostGuy, then how can we help you.... he is not asking you anything... its me... arvind_khadri | 16:42 |
| vigo_ | kwsn: Do you have JavaScript enabled and or any flash blocks installed? | 16:43 |
| LostGuy | arvind_khadri:oh im sorry | 16:43 |
| arvind_khadri | LostGuy, thats ok... which ubuntu have you installed? | 16:43 |
| kwsn | vigo_: javascript is on, and i'm also runnign adblocker (though it wasn't caught in the filter) | 16:43 |
| arvind_khadri | russia213, were you able to fix the grub error? | 16:43 |
| vigo_ | usr13: Sortof, yes, one can switch to the sudo with usr and pwd | 16:43 |
| LostGuy | arvind_khadri: i have tried using 8.04 and 8.10 with no luck | 16:43 |
| russia213 | arvind_khadri: No I still have error 21 | 16:44 |
| arvind_khadri | LostGuy, am just asking that which you have installed right now?? | 16:44 |
| seacnboy | who knows how to install libnet? just give me a help | 16:44 |
| vigo_ | kwsn: Might be adblocker, toggle it off and test it | 16:44 |
| arvind_khadri | russia213, ok... are you on the live cd now? | 16:44 |
| kwsn | ok | 16:44 |
| kwsn | vigo_: if I DC you know what happened :P | 16:44 |
| russia213 | arvind_khadri: yes | 16:44 |
| vigo_ | kwsn: I have no idea | 16:45 |
| Yanco | hi havin problems installing 8.10 when i press install menu freezes?? | 16:45 |
| LostGuy | arvind_khadri: i have 8.10 installed through WUBI | 16:45 |
| kwsn | vigo_: It means it crashed and didn't work | 16:45 |
| kwsn | :P | 16:45 |
| vigo_ | heh | 16:45 |
| arvind_khadri | russia213, open the terminal and type sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt | 16:45 |
| MarkJones | Hello can anyone tell me if there are mirrors that host ubuntu packages and are organised by release? Such as a repo of just the packages for Ubuntu 8.04.2, so that one doesnt have to guess as to what package goes with which release? | 16:45 |
| arvind_khadri | russia213, when you try to re-install do you get it done successfuly? | 16:46 |
| vigo_ | kwsn: was worth a shot, that is what backups are for,,,,, | 16:46 |
| MarkJones | Seems to be the standard for other distros and Im not sure if Ubuntu has that. | 16:46 |
| arvind_khadri | LostGuy, ok which laptop model? | 16:46 |
| Yanco | when i press any option it freezes any help? | 16:46 |
| LostGuy | arvind_khadri: asus G1Sn | 16:46 |
| kwsn | vigo_: well, I'm using Mibbit | 16:46 |
| porter1 | Has everyone heard about the HP Mi running? Pretty badass. | 16:46 |
| kwsn | sadly not a stand alone client | 16:46 |
| LostGuy | arvind_khadri: with a NVidia 9500m GS | 16:46 |
| kwsn | brb | 16:46 |
| arvind_khadri | MarkJones, ya they come in the sources.list | 16:46 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM btw.: i believe that the problem with videos is that i need to choose from the list the drivers i want to use with that app (sort of...) | 16:47 |
| porter1 | running ubuntu* | 16:47 |
| vigo_ | kwsn: I have never used Mibbet, but it sounds like a fun one | 16:47 |
| arvind_khadri | MarkJones, as in what exactly you want?? the mirror site? | 16:47 |
| kwsn | vigo_: it has its flaws, but it's simple enough and gets the job done | 16:47 |
| kwsn | brb | 16:47 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: Which app? | 16:47 |
| MarkJones | yes like a URL to a mirror so I can see whats available. | 16:47 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM smplayer | 16:48 |
| MarkJones | Only mirrors I have been seeing only host release ISOs and not packages. | 16:48 |
| russia213 | arvind_khadri: "can't find /dev/sdc1/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"....Yes it installed correctly | 16:48 |
| vigo_ | kwsn: I no longer have a job, so I just play around on these boxes that use to be my job, now it is just fun | 16:48 |
| thiebaude | MarkJones:what are trying to download? | 16:49 |
| arvind_khadri | russia213, there is a space after /dev/sdc1 | 16:49 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: After the update, open terminal and type: sudo apt-get install vncviewer | 16:49 |
| arvind_khadri | LostGuy, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/288843 | 16:49 |
| kwsn | vigo_: yeah, runs slow still | 16:49 |
| MarkJones | Well just packages for manual installation fo software. | 16:49 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | Use VNC to play the videos, that's the program I use... has yet to fail me. And it's not driver dependant. | 16:50 |
| kwsn | which is odd, cause my friend runs it just fine on ArchLinux | 16:50 |
| vigo_ | Oh ratso,,I have a tail...see ya | 16:50 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM ok ill try. has subtitle support? | 16:50 |
| thiebaude | MarkJones:you didn't want to use synaptic? | 16:50 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: Yes. | 16:50 |
| arvind_khadri | Pici, why doesnt the bot tell about the bugs as it used to do whenever a bug page is posted? | 16:50 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM also stream support? | 16:50 |
| ga_boi | hey guys any idea if there is a way to force my built in card reader to read a corrupt sdhc card on my laptop? my phone can read it but, for whatever reason my laptop can't.. | 16:50 |
| MarkJones | I have an install on a PC without internet. | 16:50 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: Yes, it can even record the stream, if you'd like. | 16:51 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM WOW!!! | 16:51 |
| ga_boi | or rather my phone registers it as unformated and can't do anything with it. | 16:51 |
| usr13_ | ViperBorg_TERM: Did you mean to say vlc | 16:51 |
| usr13_ | ? | 16:51 |
| thiebaude | MarkJones,oh ok | 16:51 |
| russia213 | arvind_khadri: "mount point mnt does not exist" | 16:51 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | usr13_: Yes. Sorry. | 16:51 |
| arvind_khadri | russia213, its /mnt | 16:51 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | Dang typos. | 16:51 |
| MarkJones | So I cant seem to find a package mirror for 8.04.2. | 16:52 |
| wikkedfin | does anyone have any feelings about Pulse Audio? | 16:52 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM: oh VLC? i don't love that one... | 16:52 |
| LostGuy | arvind_khadri: thnx for the link i will read and see if i can fix my problem | 16:52 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | Which, post brain-fart, is sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd mozilla-plugin-vlc | 16:52 |
| michel | #fedora-fr | 16:52 |
| russia213 | arvind_khadri: Sorry....ok | 16:52 |
| === richard is now known as Guest42988 | ||
| ViperBorg_TERM | No love for the VLC? | 16:52 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM: nope :D | 16:52 |
| arvind_khadri | LostGuy, sure... :) if you cant ... they try envyng... but keep it as a last resort | 16:53 |
| thiebaude | MarkJones:if you had or will install 8.04, then 8.04 will update to 8.04.2 | 16:53 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: Ah, I see. Oh, well, that's what I use. Works fine here. :D | 16:53 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM: i'm just hoping that i'll sort out this problems i've seen (i'm upgrading from gutsy, got pissed off because of those ubuntu release cycles) | 16:53 |
| MarkJones | I already downloaded the ISO for 8.04.2. | 16:53 |
| usr13_ | ViperBorg_TERM: I use vlc but also use mplayer | 16:53 |
| MarkJones | I need a package mirror so I can download packages to install stuff like K3B and VLC etc. | 16:54 |
| LostGuy | arvind_khadri: ok will do | 16:54 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM: smplayer goes for me! :) | 16:54 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: Ah, gotcha. Yes, the Ubuntu release cycles are something else all right. | 16:54 |
| MarkJones | And transfer to other PC with flashdrive | 16:54 |
| LostGuy | seeyall later | 16:54 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | usr13_: I'll use mplayer sometimes, but if it's giving me issues, I'll revert to VLC. | 16:54 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | archman: Glad it works for ya. :) | 16:54 |
| archman | ViperBorg_TERM: on gutsy i got everything working fine, i hope it'll be here the same. or else, i'll cut my throat :D | 16:54 |
| ronny | hi | 16:55 |

| usr13_ | ViperBorg_TERM: Totem plays most every thing pretty well nowdays so... | 16:56 |
| zagabar | If I want to add a hdd and mount it to the current home folder, is that possible? | 16:56 |

| zagabar | I have, but I am not sure that the hardware has recognised the new one. ATM i am only able to get to it by ssh | 17:01 |

| zagabar | usr13_: That is the thing that I am very unsure of... I have had really annoying problems with connecting hardware to that computer. I think it is some faulty IDE-cables or so...

| usr13_ | zagabar: When you have 2 drives on one IDE port, one needs to be jumpered as master, the other as slave. So in your case, just jumper the existing drive as master, and the new one as slave. That should do it. | 17:17 |

| THE_GFR|WORK | hey I have a question is there a way on ubuntu when you load up a PDF in firefox and want to print it to prevent changing the number of copies printed away from 1 copy? | 17:35 |
| blizzle | TADS_AWAY, The size of Wine's C partition is, I think, conditional on the size of the partition where it's stored.. | 17:35 |
| jken146 | THE_GFR|WORK: firefox doesn't open pdfs | 17:36 |
| Stroganoff | TADS_AWAY: http://tamastarjanyi.blogspot.com/2007/11/insufficient-disk-space-reported-under.html | 17:36 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | jken146: ok whatever is used for the PDF viewing is there a way to prevent changing the number of copies printed? | 17:36 |
| Stroganoff | blizzle, TADS_AWAY: there are loads of seemingly unsolved "disk space" problems with wine noted on the internet (use google: wine disk space) | 17:36 |
| jken146 | THE_GFR|WORK: yes, File > Print should bring up a window where you can do that | 17:37 |
| wips | jken146, Now it tells me /www/dev: Permission Denied. I tried changin chmod but no help.. | 17:37 |
| blizzle | Stroganoff, Ok. noted. Thanks. | 17:37 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | jken146: I ment how do I make it so the number of copies number cannot be changed from 1? | 17:37 |
| xfm | hello! has anyone completed the level 15 of epiphany? (the game, not the browser ;) | 17:38 |
| jken146 | wips: you obviously don't have write permissions on /www/dev on that maching | 17:38 |
| _VIM_ | THE_GFR|WORK: you can install Adobe reader , it probably has more advanced features but i think you need the !medibuntu repos for it... | 17:38 |

| Baatti | blizzle alright, I'll start there thank you very much | 17:38 |
| superchris | THE_GFR|WORK why do you want to limit the number of copies to 1, what's to prevent them from using a copier to make copies after they print their 1? | 17:38 |

| etech | just which ubuuntu or with newer linux kerlens? | 18:24 |

| Industrial | Hi. I want to install the vim full version but the minimal version is installed. If I want to remove it with synaptic It will remove ubuntu-minimal which is ofcourse not what I want | 18:25 |
| darius_ | KingJamesII itunes :D | 18:26 |
| Pici | Industrial: just install vim-full. You don't need to remove the other version. | 18:26 |
| etech | hubar, does ndiswrapper slow down the internet connection? | 18:26 |
| blizzle | theunixgeek, Your drive should at least support either DVD+R or DVD-R. Check the manufacturer's spec sheet for a full rundown. | 18:26 |
| hubar | etech, not from what I have experienced. | 18:26 |
| KingJamesII | darius_, i haven't found a version of itunes that works under ubuntu....have you? | 18:26 |
| tv7497 | Industrial: i guess sudo apt-get remove ________ should work and why do you want to remove other version | 18:26 |
| arvind_khadri | russia213, enable to boot from bios...and make sure that USB boots first | 18:27 |

| lorenzosu | anyone have a epson DX printer and ubuntu 8.10? | 18:27 |

| Industrial | tv7497: because a minimal stripped down version is ofcourse inadequate for a text editor with a thousand bells and whistles :p | 18:27 |
| hubar | etech, but you need to find out yourself. :) I suggest, some friend told me that it won't work with WEP though. | 18:27 |
| darius_ | KingJamesII sorry I was just kidding, actualy I am interested in managing ipo on ubuntu too. | 18:27 |

| ubottu | You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 19:51 |

| n8tuser | BobAlmighty -> try to install it then | 20:00 |
| rakudave | flem0114: ah I see, I didn't know you were talking about a FAT drive. Then it makes sense that a "chmod" doesn't work. the mount permissions are used in /etc/fstab to describe the permissions for internal harddrives. you can add you external there and define new permissions. there is a thread on fstab at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 | 20:00 |

| Baatti | hi, I just replaced Evolution Mail client with Thunderbird, but now I can't get the Lightning software to use Google Calendar. My problem is I'm using a 64-bit version of Ubuntu 8.10. I can't find a 64-bit version of Lightning though. What is my solution? | 20:22 |
| [TK]D-Fender | hello, quick Q : I've just installed 8.10 x386 on an AMD-1100 PC w/ an AT Radeon AIW and the video performance is a bit kludgy even without effects. /etc/xorg.conf doesn't look like any I've seen on other distro's and I can't seem to confirm what driver is being used, or what is suggested. | 20:22 |
| nathanhelp | ^hashbang^: so if my winxp boot is five...I ... rdw200169 I dont understand that. IT just looks like both are default. | 20:22 |
| SegFaultAX | flukxo: depends on how you define good. they work. how well is debatable depending on the build and which version of the os/kernel/drivers your using | 20:22 |
| Neros | FFForever Ithink its jsut a resurfacing bug... actually it only affects a small percentage of the total users so it isnt exactly high priority | 20:22 |
| ^hashbang^ | nathanhelp: if you place default 5 then your default will change to winXP | 20:23 |
| rdw200169 | nathanhelp, if you just want winxp to always be the default, you would set default 4 (0,1,2,3,4) | 20:23 |
| spill | i'm running 8.10 and every time I put it a blank cd it opens Brasero, anyone know how to change what program it auto loads. | 20:23 |
| FFForever | Neros but on the ubuntu bug terms it would be a high priority since it does prevent new users from using ubuntu.... | 20:23 |

| rdw200169 | nathanhelp, you can also just set a shorter timeout... if you don't do anything, the timeout selects the default | 20:28 |
| Neros | FForever yes I agree... but.... that is the state of the problem... if it still upsets you then perhaps you should try to fix it.... my only recommendation is to use the kernel from 9.04 or be on the bleeding edge an duse 9.04 nightly build :P | 20:28 |

| Grim76__ | Jewbacca, you might want to see if you can install it through apt, I was just pointing you to something that looked similar to what you were asking for. | 21:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | _lumm: You can add the option to the /etc/modprobe.d/options file to take effect on every boot | 21:32 |

| Javier | thanks | 21:34 |
| Jewbacca | Ultraputz: and what does that mean? :D | 21:34 |
| Jeruvy | GaMbi_DK: you can check the /etc/samba/smb.conf for configuration details | 21:34 |
| Grim76__ | Jewbacca, looks like there is one that is the right one. Look at icecast-server that looks like a pretty solid choice. | 21:34 |

| IntuitiveNipple | mr951: user's home directory permissions? Have you looked at /var/log/auth.log, and syslog, for any PAM-related problems? | 21:38 |
| uffo | guntbert: i tried to searc and all with these problems was unresolved from what i found from google, i hope ubuntu 9.04 has more robust | 21:38 |
| GaMbi_DK | Jeruvy, thats nice.. I dont know what half of the lines in smb.conf means :) anyways.. the ones that matters looks fine.. but guess I will try on forums | 21:38 |
| AnarchyAngel | i have two places i use my laptop, work and home, putting the wep key each time i move is getting old | 21:38 |
| oCean_ | mr951: how did you see the df output as all accounts face same problem? | 21:38 |
| Jeruvy | GaMbi_DK: use the how-to's ubottu point at for good directions for setting up samba. | 21:38 |
| guntbert | AnarchyAngel: usually the keys are stored in the default key ring | 21:39 |
| AnarchyAngel | hmm so it dont save them in network manager like 8.04 did? | 21:39 |
| GaMbi_DK | Jeruvy, I will look that up.. thx for your time :) | 21:39 |
| IntuitiveNipple | AnarchyAngel: NetworkManager should save them in the user's default key-ring. As long as that is being opened at log-in NetworkManager should access it. Your problem sounds like the user account password and keyring password have got out of sync | 21:39 |

| === drewzf is now known as GuruDrew | ||
| AnarchyAngel | that so was way better i just pick the "profile" and thats it, it seems to be a bit more complex in 8.10? | 21:40 |

| KDesk | hi | 21:40 |
| Daemon | how do i change the splashscreen image size? | 21:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | AnarchyAngel: Check System > Preferences > Encryption and Keyrings (if it's there!) | 21:40 |
| AnarchyAngel | and if it dont? it saves the rest of the info, like ssid and such | 21:40 |
| Jewbacca | Grim76__: i downloaded the icecast-server trough apt, now where is it installed? xD | 21:41 |
| IntuitiveNipple | AnarchyAngel: Yes, the password is stored in the keyring for security | 21:42 |
| guntbert | uffo: I'm sorry for you, but I haven't read about such a problem for a long time here, if it happens again try to describe clearly what you did before, that makes it easier to help | 21:42 |

| Jewbacca | Grim76__: how can i search for it | 21:43 |

| admin_masu3701 | do anyone know where i could get a book a TCP/IP? | 21:43 |
| guntbert | AnarchyAngel: why do you suggest sudo? | 21:43 |
| Gnea | admin_masu3701: amazon.com | 21:44 |
| oCean_ | mr951: In recoverymode you could type "login" (as command) -- and submit user/pw details and see what happens. Check the /var/log/ logfiles | 21:44 |
| keres | guntbert: there were root owned anyway, he probably figured | 21:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | guntbert: uffo: There was a similar issue many months ago I recall. The solution was to manually re-download the correct version of apt-utils package from packages.ubuntu.com and install it using sudo dpkg --force-all -i <package> | 21:44 |
| guntbert | keres: ok :) | 21:44 |

| oCean_ | fearful: In crossover configuration any bottle can be set as default | 21:50 |
| butterflygirl | why not try wine? | 21:50 |

| GaMbi_DK | damn.. no go :( | 21:50 |
| genewitch | i have a device that refuses to acknowledge my DCHP server's assertion that it gets a specific IP address, because i dualboot it, and one of them is dynamic, the other is supposed to be "static DHCP" | 21:51 |
| IntuitiveNipple | GaMbi_DK: Just before you left I think I grasped the issue. Is the share on an NTFS file-system? | 21:51 |
| baz | why r ubuntu version .04 and .10? | 21:51 |
| linguini | I'm having trouble getting 'syslogd -r' (listen to syslog messages from the network) to work . I've tried editing /etc/init.d/sysklogd so that it has SYSLOGD="-r", but it doesn't seem to take effect. | 21:51 |
| oCean_ | fearful: crossover expects 'bottles' (being isolated images) | 21:51 |
| fearful | Thanks that works | 21:51 |
| genewitch | what's the ifconfig command to force a refresh of the IP | 21:51 |
| fearful | Set as default | 21:51 |
| fearful | :) | 21:51 |
| Pricey | baz: the month they were released | 21:51 |
| Jeruvy | GaMbi_DK: can you show us the errors? if they won't fit in a line use the pastebin (see topic, or ask ubottu about !pastebin) | 21:51 |
| GaMbi_DK | IntuitiveNipple, It is | 21:51 |
| psion | if I wanted to make VLC my default movie application when opening a file in nautilus, how would I do that? | 21:51 |
| Pricey | baz: the first number (like the 8 out of 8.10) is the year it was released | 21:51 |
| baz | Pricey, ah | 21:51 |
| GaMbi_DK | Jeruvy, just found a long error message.. but dont wanna post it.. what is the page for stuff like that? "past.ubuntu.org" or something like that right? | 21:52 |
| baz | Pricey, thats awesome actually - since they are on a 6month release those numbers will always be the same then? | 21:52 |
| genewitch | pastebin,org | 21:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | GaMbi_DK: OK... if Windows crashes the 'dirty bit' will still be set on the NTFS file-system. So when Ubuntu starts the ntfs-3g driver will notice that and usually only mount the file-system read-only until it has been fixed. According to the man-pages, that usually entails using Windows to do a chkdsk on the file-system | 21:52 |
| genewitch | baz: there was a6.06 | 21:53 |
| Jeruvy | IntuitiveNipple: oh, GaMbi_DK is using ntfs-3g? | 21:53 |
| Pricey | baz: 6.06 was delayed 2 months to make it more stable as it was an LTS release | 21:53 |
| GaMbi_DK | http://paste.ubuntu.com/114204/ | 21:53 |
| genewitch | baz: i think it depends on if the version is an LTS version or just a fresh version | 21:53 |
| Truefire | baz : but 6.06 was an exception. | 21:53 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Jeruvy: If the share is on the NTFS file-system, sure | 21:53 |
| puff | If anybody's curious, the software way to turn off the laptop screen was "xset dpms force off" | 21:53 |
| stefg | genewitch: which had actually been planned as 6.04... it was just 2 months late | 21:54 |

| partha_ | please can someone help | 21:55 |
| chupy | stefg: so there isnt solution??? know??? | 21:55 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Jeruvy: Yes, a samba share but the underlying file-system is, if I understand correctly, NTFS. If that is mounted Read-Only (because of the dirty bit) then samba may well have problems setting correct permissions | 21:56 |
| Truefire | partha_ help what? | 21:56 |
| GaMbi_DK | Jeruvy, okay :) | 21:56 |
| stefg | chupy: no solution... complain to google rogrammers | 21:56 |

| pluma | IntuitiveNipple: So you're saying... there's no way I can access those extra keys, even though they are there and Windows has no problem? | 22:13 |
| Jeruvy | kevin__: it should. Give it a go, any errors let us know | 22:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | mel: Don't touch it! That is a symlink to the system core (memory in other words) | 22:13 |
| DionysuZ | wpa_supplicant is installed | 22:13 |

| Cpudan80 | IntuitiveNipple: The symlink shouldnt be 4 GB though | 22:14 |

| IntuitiveNipple | pluma: "Windows" probably has a device-specific driver that 'knows' about them, but do some Googling for the model number plus "keyboard" and "linux" and you might find some clues | 22:14 |

| pluma | IntuitiveNipple: XF86Launch1 is the only one of the extra keys it recognised (apart from the usual HomePage / Mail stuff). So I guess the other keys are dead for Linux then? | 22:19 |

| IntuitiveNipple | austin666: As I said earlier, the server needs configuring to authenticate the user's that need access, as well as most likely setting up shares with appropriate rights, etc. | 22:21 |

| Slart | nbuntu: yes | 22:23 |
| miha | Slart: it's not even there, either | 22:23 |
| Jeruvy | Jampiter: ctrl-u I think | 22:23 |
| pike_ | Jampiter: this is in /home/$USER/.fonts directory is that right? try this sudo defoma-font -v reregister-all this will register it to the debian font manager im not entirely sure this is correct in ubuntu though then a fc-list should show em | 22:23 |

| miha | Slart: okey, i tried to manually link _11 to some firefox-extension dir, i cant find it now, but no java plugin works in firefox now, just displays empty space applet not inited | 22:24 |
| blsecres | does anyone know if it's possible to install on an existing partition structure without reformatting certain disks? | 22:25 |
| nschembr_ | Maharaja18: #ubuntu-pl works on the livecd | 22:25 |
| Slart | miha: if you want the latest and the greatest of everything you would be better off compiling everything yourself | 22:25 |
| rakudave | Maharaja18: to connect to ubuntu-pl, use "/join @ubuntu-pl" | 22:25 |
| Slart | miha: I have no idea what you are talking about.. update for what? | 22:25 |
| miha | Slart: i used gentoo for long, it just takes so much time to compile. sorry... but ubuntu has 0 to do with sun java it could just ship latest release version | 22:25 |
| Maharaja18 | THXXXX | 22:25 |
| pluma | IntuitiveNipple: Thanks for your effort, mate. | 22:25 |
| miha | Slart: no binary package from java.com | 22:25 |
| Jeruvy | austin666: /var/www is a root directory and if you keep files there you'll have to deal with permissions. Better to link a directory from home to there that way all your files are r/w and still work on a html page or server | 22:26 |
| miha | some tutorial told me to link to some firefox-extension | 22:26 |
| miha | now i cant find that page:) | 22:26 |
| miha | to see where that dir is | 22:26 |
| fenn_ | is there an easy way to increase the NSF cache time for automounter in ubuntu? | 22:26 |
| pike_ | blsecres: yes during install choose manual edit partition table option and set your mount points and make sure in the dropdown it doesnt say format | 22:26 |
| austin666 | jeruvy: alright, great.....what is the comman used for transfering files? (and how do i know the name of the drive i plugged in) | 22:26 |
| Swistak-mobilny | hhelllo | 22:26 |
| pike_ | blsecres: useful for like /home and stuff | 22:26 |
| Jeruvy | Jampiter: sorry, ctrl-h ;) | 22:26 |
| blsecres | pike_: I'm only given that option if the partitions aren't on a LVM | 22:26 |
| Jampiter | pike_: I want to be able to install fonts by dragging them into this directory. I have done it before, but now the directory has vanished. I have tried making a new .fonts folder, but it says the folder alrealdy exists. | 22:27 |
| DionysuZ | pike_: does wicd have a log file somewhere so i can see what's the problem? | 22:27 |
| fenn_ | "easy!?! you call that easy!?!" | 22:27 |
| Jeruvy | austin666: cp is the copy command, and mv is the move/rename command | 22:27 |
| forceflow | Jampiter | 22:27 |
| forceflow | you probably have hidden folders on | 22:27 |
| Jampiter | Jeruvy: Thanks, that's sorted it :) | 22:27 |
| forceflow | hit CTRL-H | 22:27 |
| mel | alsa+dell sb live! emu10k1x+ No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.?? | 22:27 |
| blsecres | I want to save /home and /var and overwrite / /usr and /boot | 22:27 |
| Jampiter | forceflow: I've done that now :) | 22:28 |
| drgnu | Should I ask my question again? | 22:28 |
| pike_ | Jampiter: sure that your view isnt set to not see hidden files and folders? | 22:28 |
| austin666 | jeruvy: well, O.o gimmi a sec lemmi see what the string is | 22:28 |
| Slart | drgnu: if you don't get an answer you can repeat the question.. wait at least 15-20 minutes before doing it though | 22:28 |
| blsecres | I've got backups I could restore from, but would rather take the quick+easy way | 22:28 |
| Jampiter | pike_: It was, but I've fixed it now :) Thanks anyway | 22:28 |
| NoTownKasper | Any xorg.conf gurus around? Having a hell of a time trying to work this dual-monitor setup. :( | 22:29 |
| Jeruvy | austin666: take your time, 'man cp' will give you instructions from a terminal. | 22:29 |
| drgnu | considering I have asked two different questions over the span of 2 days and the last being 3 hours ago with no answer... I will | 22:29 |
| vampiro | hola | 22:29 |
| drgnu | How does one get "dead keys" to be found by Ubuntu - I have a tabletpc (Motion LE1600) and the buttons on the machine don't do anything. I've tried "xev" and nothing shows up when I use them. Thanks. | 22:29 |
| Swistak-mobilny | dobrze ;) | 22:29 |
| jstanley | Can anyone tell me where the X configuration file is in Ubuntu? It seems xorg.conf has been broken. | 22:30 |
| Slart | drgnu: tricky question.. I know "special" keys can be hard to use with linux.. same thing with laptops with media keys and whatnot I guess | 22:30 |
| austin666 | jeruvy: how do i exit the manual? | 22:30 |

| jstanley | I'm on the livecd; I'll try some new startup options | 22:31 |
| jstanley | Thanks | 22:31 |
| blsecres | drgnu: do you have the correct keyboard model set (pc101,pc105)? are they character producing keys or special function keys? | 22:32 |
| pluma | IntuitiveNipple: I'll try that, then | 22:32 |
| ronny | 11111 | 22:32 |
| drgnu | blsecres, they are the hardware keys in the tabletpc (Motion LE1600) a pad for scrolling around and 2 function keys to each side of it. | 22:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | pluma: That's not the tool I think you need (one to grab the scancode) but its in the ball-park | 22:32 |
| pluma | IntuitiveNipple: What does it do then? | 22:33 |
| slusk88 | anyone feel like helping a newbie out pm please =) | 22:34 |
| NoTownKasper | Ok, I'm trying to set up a dual-monitor system with Ubuntu. After googling for hours and wading through lots of several-year old forums I eventually cobbled together this xorg.conf ( http://pastebin.com/m65843138 ) which, oddly enough, shifts linux over to what is supposed to be the secondary monitor, completely ignoring the primary which just sits there black...HEEEEEEEEELP! | 22:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | pluma: man dumpkeys :) | 22:35 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| Slart | slusk88: just ask your question | 22:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | pluma: This fragment of TCL will reveal scancodes: http://wiki.tcl.tk/12969 | 22:35 |
| NoTownKasper | I should also mention, the desktop is quite a bit larger than the actual monitor, leaving me lots of room to scroll. | 22:36 |
| slusk88 | well i cant seem to get my sound working properly been googling all day, i get no sound when i dont have headset plugged in and when headset is plugged in i get sound in the test in soundsettings but all other sounds are just cracklings. | 22:37 |
| zsircusr | hi all | 22:37 |
| blsecres | drgnu: those are probably handled separately from the keyboard by a program similar to thinkpad-keys, toshkeys, etc | 22:37 |
| jstanley | It seems to work in safe graphics mode; Still takes 5 minutes to boot though | 22:39 |
| jstanley | and does x do anything in ubuntu other than show me the little cross? this thing is taking forever | 22:39 |

| hedkandi | hi there folks | 22:40 |
| hedkandi | I have a problem with gparted | 22:40 |
| hedkandi | gparted doesn't recognize anything on my /dev/sda | 22:40 |
| zash_ | okay, guessing thumbnails caused the slowdown, deleting ~/.thumbnails/*/* returned thunar to instant start | 22:40 |
| hedkandi | nor indeed does fdsk | 22:41 |
| hedkandi | any ideas? | 22:41 |
| MoLE_ | hedkandi, is the drive recognised in the BIOS? | 22:41 |
| === JamesMowery is now known as JamesMowery|away | ||
| hedkandi | oh no | 22:42 |
| hedkandi | actually fdisk is okay with it if I sudo. | 22:42 |
| austin666 | How do I find out the name of my flashdrive so i can transfer files on it? | 22:42 |
| hedkandi | golly you would think it'd give helpful error message.... | 22:42 |
| austin666 | *transfer files from it | 22:42 |
| blizzle | zee: pong | 22:42 |
| MoLE_ | hedkandi, then you need to run gparted with the same permissions - only root can alter partitions. | 22:42 |
| hedkandi | ikay | 22:43 |
| hedkandi | okay | 22:43 |
| MoLE_ | hedkandi, sudo gparted | 22:43 |
| hedkandi | why doesn't it tell you that is the problem for flips sake | 22:43 |
| hedkandi | ? | 22:43 |
| blizzle | zee: Ah, you seemed to have got the updates sorted. Well done! :) | 22:43 |
| hedkandi | I've spent ages trying to get it to work | 22:43 |
| MoLE_ | hedkandi, how did you install gparted? | 22:43 |
| hedkandi | all it needs to do is tell me it needs sudo | 22:43 |
| slusk88 | i cant seem to get my sound working properly been googling all day, i get no sound when i dont have headset plugged in and when headset is plugged in i get sound in the test in soundsettings but all other sounds are just cracklings. | 22:43 |
| hedkandi | I installed gparted with apt-get | 22:43 |
| MoLE_ | hedkandi, did you run it from System > Administration > Partition Editor? | 22:44 |
| NoTownKasper | Ok, I'm trying to set up a dual-monitor system with Ubuntu.

| MoLE_ | hedkandi, well on my system Ubuntu then prompts you for a password - which it needs for root privileges | 22:44 |
| Syzothermy | Anyone know how to auto reconnect to a network in network-manager? whenever I lose a connection it asks for the key again, kind of annoying for downloading | 22:44 |
| kalakouentin | hello anybody has a working Scilab installation ? | 22:45 |
| hedkandi | actually, maybe the sudo thing isn't the problem | 22:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | pluma: no problem... I found the util: do man showkey (and try showkey -k) | 22:45 |
| hedkandi | It seems fdisk correctly recognizes my partitions, but sudo gparted does not | 22:45 |
| NoTownKasper | Why is something that took me 3 clicks in Windows...so bloody hard in Linux. | 22:46 |
| * NoTownKasper whines. | 22:46 | |
| aseeon | Hi | 22:46 |
| MoLE_ | hedkandi, that isn't a good sign - the partition table may be inconsistent | 22:46 |
| aseeon | Could you tell me what package contains the utility from (System -> Preferences -> Appearance) | 22:46 |
| hedkandi | oooh | 22:46 |
| GuruDrew | Because Linux is like a helicopter, a bunch of instruments flying in formation. A ton of counterparts individually maintained but required for the whole. | 22:47 |
| GuruDrew | It's an issue with communication, normally | 22:47 |
| hedkandi | MoLE_: is this the right place to discuss it or is there a better chatroom? | 22:47 |
| MoLE_ | hedkandi, I would suggest doing a backup if you have anything critical on the drive | 22:47 |
| hedkandi | I have a habit of being banned from ubuntu anyway | 22:47 |
| hedkandi | hah | 22:47 |
| hedkandi | ha | 22:47 |
| NoTownKasper | I know...I know. :P I'm just venting. 48 hours tinkering with the same .conf file will make anyone cranky. | 22:47 |
| hedkandi | MoLE_: indeed, I will have to before I change anything | 22:47 |
| MoLE_ | hedkandi, always a good idea before mucking about with partitions | 22:48 |
| pluma | 434 and 435! | 22:48 |
| hedkandi | but it all operates okay except gparted which suggests the problem is with gparted | 22:48 |
| GuruDrew | Kasper from TSW? | 22:48 |
| meshuggah | hello everyone | 22:48 |
| austin666 | Can anyone tell me how to find out where my files are? i plugged in a USB and i want to copy them over...i'm only using the terminal | 22:48 |
| Syzothermy | Anyone know how to auto reconnect to a network in network-manager? whenever I lose a connection it asks for the key again, kind of annoying for downloading. "connect automatically" does nothing | 22:48 |
| NoTownKasper | TSW? 'Don't think so. | 22:48 |
| GuruDrew | Ahh, ok | 22:48 |
| patrik | I have a wierd problem after installing ubuntu 8.10 (had 8.04 before) The thing is that my wireless network card doesn't even appear to be installed. The network connection manager cant enable it... | 22:49 |
| hedkandi | MoLE_: yes, and let me ask how do you put your home directory on a different partition? | 22:49 |
| pluma | IntuitiveNipple: Now I got the keycodes. Do I need to map them in the layout now or how do I get something I can reference in my charmap? | 22:49 |
| aseeon | ok then another question, how to turn on subpixel smoothing from terminal | 22:49 |
| hedkandi | Is it straightforward? | 22:49 |
| patrik | It finds it but cant enable it... | 22:49 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NoTownKasper: You haven't get told us what version of Ubuntu you're using, or the model of the graphics adapter, which video driver, what monitors and how they are connected. Detection of multiple monitors can often depend on using proprietary drivers and configuration tools (e.g. nvidia) | 22:49 |
| GuruDrew | patrik: Have you looked into ndiswrapper? Most Linksys cards require it. | 22:49 |
| hedkandi | Do you just create a different partition and mount it /home/user? | 22:49 |
| MoLE_ | hedkandi, it's more likely you have a problem with the drive. One option you have is to open a terminal and run sudo gparted and see if any errors are logged to the terminal. | 22:49 |
| GuruDrew | Well, probably not 'most' anymore, but many. | 22:49 |
| pluma | IntuitiveNipple: Thanks for the help, man. Apparently the Acer Arcade key doesn't register, though | 22:49 |
| IntuitiveNipple | pluma: Cool! both keys issue a keycode? I guess you can add them to the system keymaps, and/or xkb now? | 22:49 |
| hedkandi | MoLE_: yes, okay it says this: | 22:49 |
| IntuitiveNipple | pluma: It *might* be passed via ACPI events | 22:50 |
| hedkandi | "cannot have overlapping partitions" | 22:50 |
| poseidon | I've been using windows for years and I've accumulated a lot of tricks to make it much more productive. I found a lot of them online. Where can I get good productivity tips for ubuntu? | 22:50 |
| MoLE_ | hedkandi, your partition table is screwed. Backup ASAP and you will need to recreate partitions and restore. | 22:50 |
| pluma | IntuitiveNipple: Yupp, 434 is $ and 435 is €. | 22:50 |

| IntuitiveNipple | pluma: Something of interest: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/313514 | 22:56 |
| NoTownKasper | IntuitiveNipple: Fairly sure I did, but it couldn't hurt to try again I guess. Wish I knew what was borked in the xorg.conf though. :| | 22:56 |
| IntuitiveNipple | GuruDrew: I spent last week trying to get a new package together for it, but it is a *pig* ! | 22:56 |
| GuruDrew | Considering the number of PHP devels switching to Ubuntu lately, I'd really like to see the new eclipse and maybe even pdt make the repositories | 22:57 |
| slusk88 | i cant seem to get my sound working properly. I get no sound when i dont have headset plugged in and when headset is plugged in i get sound in the test in soundsettings but all other sounds are just cracklings. have tried changing the alsamixer but no luck.

| patrik | GuruDrew Built in crap | 22:57 |
| hedkandi | MoLE_: okay I'll read it avidly | 22:57 |
| GuruDrew | patrik, Usually you can find specifications at the manufacturers website | 22:57 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NoTownKasper: If I were you I'd back up that current xorg.conf and then leave just an empty file, and let nvidia-settings create a clean one from scratch. You can always copy the backup back into place if that doesn't help | 22:58 |
| GuruDrew | I'd need to know the card manufacturer to truly diagnose the issue | 22:58 |
| GuruDrew | And moreso, the card model number | 22:58 |
| austin666 | anyone? | 22:58 |
| NoTownKasper | Hrm...Apparently I didn't try the nvidia-settings...as I had to apt-get it. lol. I'll give that a whirl and be back in a few. | 22:58 |

| Huufarted | ah, that explains a lot, GuruDrew. I didn't find that. I was going through the standard one-doc-fits-all documentation, not card specific | 23:02 |

| GuruDrew | patrik, Your card is an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG, which a quick google of your model number turned up, please learn to use Google as a primary resource before asking for help in #ubuntu | 23:04 |
| hedkandi | if I run fdisk on my /dev/sda it says i have 255 heads which is clearly wrong | 23:04 |
| hedkandi | ? | 23:04 |
| GuruDrew | I will try to find your issue, one moment please, patrik | 23:04 |
| meshuggah | how can i limit the bandwith i am using? else my landlord will unplug again my connection cause i am using all the bandwith? | 23:04 |
| meshuggah | how can i limit to 100k/s for example | 23:04 |
| IntuitiveNipple | The_Joe_: If the package is reported as unused, autoremove is safe to remove it | 23:04 |
| rdw200169 | meshuggah, you're trying to limit *all* your bandwidth? | 23:04 |
| hedkandi | MoLE_: okay I understand the problem | 23:05 |
| patrik | GuruDrew I googled all over but all i found was that it had a network card =S | 23:05 |
| The_Joe_ | IntuitiveNipple, I've had this problem before - I installed packages from somewhere else and Ubuntu told me to autoremove them all... | 23:05 |
| meshuggah | rdw : i dont want to be able to download faster than 100lk/s else i get problems with landlord | 23:05 |
| The_Joe_ | Oh forget it | 23:05 |
| hedkandi | You are correct in that the partition table indicates overlapping partitions. | 23:05 |
| The_Joe_ | I'll just risk my coursework | 23:05 |
| hedkandi | I have to decide what partitions have which space | 23:05 |
| SpinachHead | anyone have an nvidia card? | 23:05 |
| rdw200169 | meshuggah, b/c you *can* limit your incoming bandwidth, but the commands for doing so are quite confusing | 23:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | The_Joe_: Ahhhh... well if they aren't hurting leave them be | 23:05 |
| hedkandi | and rewrite with fdisk | 23:05 |
| hedkandi | should be easy | 23:05 |
| GuruDrew | patrik, Please check for 'Connect to hidden network', and see if your network is listed there | 23:05 |

| dimension128 | meshuggah: Not intended to sound rude, But your landlord should have some kind of load balancing if it is an issue, it shouldn't be your problem to limit your bandwidth. | 23:06 |
| meshuggah | it happened a few time yet, all my fault :) | 23:06 |
| GuruDrew | DionysuZ, What wireless card does your system use, and what version of Ubuntu? | 23:06 |
| rdw200169 | meshuggah, do you want to know how? | 23:06 |

| IntuitiveNipple | slusk88: You should search the launchpad bug database, look for the PCI vendor:device ID of the specific sound device in your PC, or Google the PCI ID for clues... there is likely a kernel module option to correct that issue. | 23:14 |

| ^hashbang^ | anumamundi: there are a bunch of desktop enviorments... kde, gnome are 2 of the most widely used... | 23:38 |
| meoblast001 | i accidently overwrote a VERY important file.. what do i do? | 23:38 |
| rakudave | seastron: oops, "sudo make install" | 23:38 |
| animamundi | and thank you both for helping me, I'm very new...as you can tell. | 23:38 |
| lstarnes | animamundi: do you have a bar at the top of the screen that has Applications, Places, and System in it? | 23:38 |
| nickrud | meoblast001, a system file? Which one? | 23:38 |
| animamundi | it's at the bottom but yes. | 23:38 |
| ^hashbang^ | rakudave: he will need the kernel header files to complie a driver for the kernel | 23:38 |
| lstarnes | meoblast001: did you have a backup of the file? | 23:38 |
| IntuitiveNipple | meoblast001: cry... and then retrieve it from your back-ups :) | 23:38 |
| seastron | rakudave: thankyou very much.. i will try to figure that out | 23:38 |
| lstarnes | animamundi: it is probably gnome | 23:38 |
| Bodsda | animamundi, but you have/had 2 bars? and it probably is not blue? | 23:39 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud, not a system file.... wxFormBuilder overwrites code when you change the GUI... i overwrote it.. went to copy the old stuff from gedit and accidently closed gedit | 23:39 |
| erUSUL | !undel | meoblast001 | 23:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about undel | 23:39 |
| animamundi | it's at the bottom, and it's ubuntu colors. | 23:39 |
| rakudave | ^hashbang^: right, thanks... what was that uname-trick again? can't remember just now | 23:39 |
| IntuitiveNipple | animamundi: System menu, About Gnome ? | 23:39 |
| nickrud | meoblast001, look for the backup, a hidden file with ~ at the end | 23:39 |
| ^hashbang^ | rakudave: uname -a | 23:39 |
| GuruDrew | patrik: Probably a GPG issue, removing it should be fine though :) | 23:39 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud, i have those | 23:39 |
| meoblast001 | i cant open them | 23:39 |
| animamundi | yes, and thanks...is kde better? | 23:39 |
| nickrud | meoblast001, meoblast001 ?? gedit file~ will open it .... | 23:40 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud, you're a life saver | 23:40 |
| _VIM_ | kde is heavier (kinda like windows) animamundi | 23:40 |
| seastron | rakudave: may i bug you in a private message just for a few little pointers ? i fully understand if not | 23:40 |
| Dam0 | yay i am unbanned | 23:40 |
| Dam0 | hehe | 23:40 |
| rakudave | seastron: no problem | 23:40 |
| seastron | thanks :) | 23:40 |
| animamundi | OK. | 23:40 |
| nickrud | Dam0, so don't go doing stuff that will get you rebanned ;) | 23:40 |
| patrik | GuruDrew Nah it was only a source to download the firmware. After the download it shouldn't be needed. | 23:41 |

| kindofabuzz | when copying from a NFS share using nautilus, what protocol is that using? can i make it use ssh or scp? i know how to scp command line but just curious about this. | 23:42 |
| guckle | hi im havin some trouble. i just installed 8.10 and everything worked great, but i am finding it locks up/freezes randomly (can be 15 min after boot...or an hour). i can still move the mouse but i can't do anything and everything is frozen | 23:42 |
| nickrud | fdr, moved to .local/share/Trash | 23:42 |
| patrik | GuruDrew Now I only have one more little question for u then I'll leave u to the other needing =) | 23:42 |
| patrik | GuruDrew If I may. | 23:42 |
| GuruDrew | patrik, Shoot | 23:42 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | can anyone tell me what this does : " >/dev/null 2>&1 " | 23:42 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud, didn't backup one of my headers but i only made like 5 changes to that specific header | 23:42 |
| fdr | nickrud, thanks. Why did they move it? | 23:42 |
| nickrud | fdr, not sure, but I think it was a compromise between desktops | 23:42 |
| seraph-os | does anyone know how to get the matshita uj-850s optical drive to regognize copyed cd's? on ubuntu? | 23:43 |
| kindofabuzz | |HSO|SadiQ, something is being piped to /dev/null? | 23:43 |
| Dante123 | hi all, having mic issues with 8.10 (upgraded from 8.04) particularly with TeamSpeak and also with Sound Recorder and Audacity. Any suggestions? | 23:43 |
| GeffIsLegend | anyone mind telling me how to make it so i dont have to enter a password every time i want to modify something on my files? | 23:43 |
| CyBurnet | Where is the grub menu in Ubuntu 8.04? | 23:43 |
| DionysuZ_ | its working xD | 23:43 |
| kindofabuzz | Cy-4, /boot/grub | 23:43 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | kindofabuzz, yesy...but I don't know what the " 2>&1" part is for | 23:43 |
| Dante123 | Part of my problem is pulseaudio so I killed it | 23:43 |
| GuruDrew | DionysuZ, You fixed it? | 23:43 |
| IntuitiveNipple | |HSO|SadiQ: redirects stdout from whatever is on the left of the ">" to /dev/null, and also redirects stderr to stdout, which in turn goes to /dev/null, so you don't see any stdout/stderr messages | 23:44 |
| kindofabuzz | CyBurnet, /boot/grub/menu.list | 23:44 |
| Dante123 | But also get confused on what to select as audio playback and record devices | 23:44 |
| patrik | GuruDrew Googling about it, it seems like the ATI graphics cards are a pretty tricky to install. The question is. Does the EnvyNg drivers work good u think? I'm reading pretty splitted opinions about it. | 23:44 |
| === FFForever is now known as FFForver[away] | ||
| kindofabuzz | |HSO|SadiQ, maybe try #bash or #perl or #python | 23:44 |
| DionysuZ_ | gurudrew: it was just a silly little setting of mine. thanks for your help but it was just me setting the WPA supplicant driver to ndiswrapper some time ago. switched it back to wext and now all works | 23:44 |
| GuruDrew | patrik, Go to Application -> System -> Hardware drivers, is there not a viable option here for you? | 23:44 |
| GuruDrew | DionysuZ_, I'm happy to hear that! | 23:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | |HSO|SadiQ: stdout jas file descriptor 1 so, stderr has file descriptor 2, hence 2>&1 means stderr > stdout | 23:45 |

| ^hashbang^ | kindofabuzz: cool man.. I'm checkin it out now... | 23:46 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | It's actually a game in my case...it logs everything to my .xsession-errors file...wanted to know how I can stop it from happening | 23:46 |
| KenBW2 | kindofabuzz: for corruptions | 23:46 |
| patrik | GuruDrew Well...yes, but the driver is old, and limited. I tried it and. It worked like crap I'm afraid. | 23:46 |
| kindofabuzz | oh | 23:46 |
| KenBW2 | kindofabuzz: fsck? | 23:47 |
| kindofabuzz | KenBW2, yeah | 23:47 |
| kindofabuzz | !fsck | 23:47 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 23:47 |

| furythor | Which is more recomendable, installing graphics drivers what "hardware drivers" applet recommends which nvidia-96 or installing nvidia-71 by hand, as I do have very annoying font glitch with windows programs that I run with wine ... | 23:50 |
| jken146 | furythor: use the restrictid drivers app preferentially, if it works | 23:50 |
| patrik | GuruDrew Hmm oh well, I can always experiment some more, I do have to learn more about linux after all=) | 23:50 |
| furythor | yeah, I have that weird problem with font, which does not effect everywhere, but particular windows programs that I run with wine... | 23:51 |
| tim | any help with the cairo dock in here? | 23:51 |
| GuruDrew | patrik, I usually either use the driver in the repo (working great with 8800gtx) or the binary drivers from ati.com or nvidia.com respectively | 23:52 |
| jken146 | furythor: do you have msttcorefonts installed? | 23:52 |
| ouija | ooi | 23:52 |
| furythor | it is with and without that | 23:52 |
| GuruDrew | patrik, Make sure you're using the restricted drivers from the Ubuntu system panel though, they're great | 23:52 |
| CyBurnet | What is the command to edit the grub menu on my boot partition from a live CD? | 23:52 |
| furythor | And I did _NOT_ have this issue with ubuntu 8.04, but current 8.10 better supports my mobile broadband connection | 23:53 |
| misieq | where do files received via bluetooth go? | 23:54 |
| patrik | GuruDrew The restricted drivers is what I'm using right now, not really what I expected. But I might have missed something to make it the way it's supposed to. | 23:54 |
| GuruDrew | CyBurnet, that depends on where your boot partition is mounted | 23:54 |
| nickrud | furythor, may be a silly question, but do you have the package msttcorefonts installed? | 23:54 |
| GuruDrew | patrik, There are a few options to help with installing the binary drivers, google 'automatix' | 23:55 |
| tim | any help with the cairo dock in here? | 23:55 |
| nickrud | !automatix | GuruDrew patrik | 23:55 |
| ubottu | GuruDrew patrik: Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported, or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubottu WorksForMe » | 23:55 |
| patrik | GuruDrew Disabling Compiz cleared out the flickering i just learnt^_^ | 23:55 |
| GuruDrew | nickrud, what would you advise to help a newer Linux user install binary drivers without having to leave their comfort zone? | 23:56 |
| meshuggah | what is the best lightweight mp3 player for xubuntu ? | 23:56 |
| CyBurnet | GuruDrew, Thats the thing i dont understand that stuff? | 23:56 |
| GuruDrew | meshuggah, I found Totem to be light weight and effective as it came, just had to install a few codecs | 23:56 |
| nickrud | GuruDrew, I'd strongly recommend using the ones that are provided with ubuntu device manager. Very very few users need anything else. | 23:56 |
| jken146 | meshuggah: there are *loads* of media players. mpc is pretty lightweight, if you can set it up | 23:57 |
| fosco_ | meshuggah: you can try audacious | 23:57 |
| furythor | Nickrud problem that I have does not seem to be connected to msttcorefonts at all | 23:57 |
| jken146 | meshuggah: mpd* | 23:57 |
| GuruDrew | CyBurnet, It's quite difficult to do, or requires some experience, but you'll need to locate your boot drive and nano the grub conf there | 23:57 |
| nickrud | !envyng | GuruDrew very very few ever even need to know about this | 23:57 |
| ubottu | GuruDrew very very few ever even need to know about this: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 23:57 |
| meshuggah | jken : mpd or mpc ? :) | 23:57 |
| rjune_ | nickrud: but those of us that don't know. often have problems finding it | 23:57 |
| GuruDrew | nickrud: Thanks for the reference. | 23:58 |
| patrik | GuruDrew Looks like something really useful. I'll note that and take use of it. | 23:58 |
| rjune_ | gah, I mean do need to know | 23:58 |
| m4zt3r | All of a sudden my mozilla browser no longer has the minimize, maximize, and close icons at the top, even after reboot. No other propgram is like this, just mozilla | 23:58 |
| CyBurnet | GuruDrew, I have booted with a live cd and can see my boot partition, and open it as well, but if i try to writ to it i get errors | 23:58 |
| GuruDrew | nickrud: Sometimes you have to help people in the way that they want to be helped... Please keep that in mind. | 23:58 |
| nickrud | furythor, try sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts , if that succeeds and you couldn't see that package in synaptic run sudo update-apt-xapian-index | 23:59 |
| GuruDrew | CyBurnet, What errors, specifically? | 23:59 |
| nickrud | GuruDrew, true. But also remember that using unsupported methods often results in getting no support in this channel. | 23:59 |
| GuruDrew | nickrud: Duly noted. | 23:59 |
| furythor | I did get those drivers, and did install that propertiary graphichs driver, now I gotta reboot my machine | 23:59 |
