| burkzzz | ST47, You should be able to run it during boot... I am not 100% sure how to do that right now though, give me a moment. ;) | 00:00 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: alright cool! one more question....or two. how do i view my files in a browser (running off the server) and ultimately get the online fully..i have a static IP | 00:00 |
| tritium | uplinked: please stick to an appropriate topic | 00:00 |
| guntbert | ST47: use the live CD | 00:00 |
| carlitos__ | somebody can help me out with this http://www2.one-eyed-alien.net/~mdharm/linux-usb/ | 00:00 |
| lanzelloth | how do I disable "these files are on a picture cd" on nautilus? | 00:00 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: error just accoured O.o not enough space?? | 00:01 |
| burkzzz | austin_, Assuming you have a webserver running, all you really need to do is use a browser and type "http://192.168.1.102" in the address-bar. Server will most likely default to showing index.html. | 00:01 |
| burkzzz | austin_, ...that sounds odd. What's telling you that? | 00:01 |
| _dbd_l12 | cousteau: http://tinyurl.com/bj444a | 00:01 |
| vlt | Hello. How can I modify the time the kernel waits for its root fs before dropping into initramfs shell? | 00:01 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: It says "error while copying to "webroot". Not enough space on the destination. there is 0 bytes availbe, but 6.3 mb is required | 00:02 |
| burkzzz | austin_, Hmm... Well, are you sure the drive isn't full on the server? :) | 00:02 |
| austin_ | I only have ubuntu server ed. installed, and apache lamp, and i think a few other thigns | 00:02 |
| austin_ | but its like a 18 GB HDD | 00:02 |
| austin_ | so its got plenty of room | 00:02 |
| ST47 | I'm actually having the exact same issue, everything tells me I have no disk space left, even though I have plenty | 00:03 |
| true\false | For a netbook.. Normal or netbook remix ubuntu? | 00:03 |
| cousteau | _dbd_l12: lol... (ok, I got the message) | 00:03 |
| ST47 | Someone suggested I should fsck, but I can't look up how, because I can't get any programs to run | 00:03 |
| burkzzz | austin_, Hmm... Sounds strange. Does your user have rw access to the directory on the box? | 00:03 |
| Syzothermy | turns out it wouldn't even connect after doing that | 00:03 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: Rw? i don't know, austin is the only account on it | 00:04 |
| burkzzz | ST47, Found something interesting, you could try running `touch /forcefsck` and rebooting. Apparently Ubuntu checks for the existance of /forcefsck and if it's there, fscks on boot. | 00:04 |
| ST47 | k | 00:04 |
| IINB3_first | approprietary | 00:04 |
| IINB3_first | oops | 00:04 |
| burkzzz | austin_, hmm... well, it could be that the user austin doesn't have rights to write to the /var/www directory. what OS is the server running? | 00:04 |
| ST47 | burkzzz: Though that brings me back to the no space left on device error. I'll go and fudge about in the recovery console... | 00:04 |
| guest | what caommand can i use to stream log content? ( program adds lines in log and i want to see newly added lines) | 00:05 |
| monthlylove | st47 can you boot into single user mode | 00:05 |
| burkzzz | ST47, ouch, annoying situation. :P Should be a GRUB option somewhere as well! | 00:05 |
| monthlylove | and fire up fsck? | 00:05 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: I'm running ubuntu server ed. | 00:05 |
| guest | fsck you | 00:05 |
| skybound | vlt: beyond changing kernel source i only know one way: create an initrd image with your own linuxrc script (and busybox or such) which calls "sleep x", mounts the real rootfs and execs /sbin/init | 00:05 |
| monthlylove | haha | 00:05 |
| ST47 | I'm going to try that. bbiab. | 00:05 |
| Brett_Laptop | I'm moving from Windows to Unbuntu, though I am having troubles.. can someone help me. | 00:05 |
| monthlylove | best of luck | 00:05 |
| guest | try to fsck :) | 00:05 |
| burkzzz | guest, looking for `tail -f file` perhaps? Updates when the file does. | 00:05 |
| _dbd_l12 | Syzothermy: what does iwconfig give (you can paste at http://paste.pocoo.org)? Can you do a iwlist wlan0 scan ? | 00:06 |

| burkzzz | guest, You're welcome. :) | 00:06 |
| Brett_Laptop | I need to install it from USB stick, but im not sure how to put the ISO on it so it is bootable.. | 00:06 |

| CyberGabber | Normally i see in Gnome a Panel at the top and a panel at the bottom of my screen. Now i hev to move my mouse up/down the screens to see them. It looks like there's 1 row to few on screen. howto set to original? | 00:06 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: do you have a windows box lying around? | 00:06 |
| Brett_Laptop | Im on windows right now | 00:06 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: http://pendrivelinux.com has bat files | 00:06 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: that will download the iso, unpack it, and make your drive bootable | 00:07 |
| Syzothermy | you mean with a changed /etc/network/interfaces or not, _dbd_l12 ? | 00:07 |
| burkzzz | austin_, Hmm... Alright, if you SSH into the box again using `ssh 192.168.1.102`, and run `ls -l /var` you should see a line containing www. | 00:07 |
| elhoir | hello, i have problems installing ati propietary drivers in Ubuntu 8.10 | 00:07 |
| _dbd_l12 | Syzothermy: yes | 00:07 |
| elhoir | it slowdowns my computer a lot | 00:07 |
| Syzothermy | K, changing again :P | 00:07 |
| Syzothermy | br | 00:07 |
| Syzothermy | b | 00:07 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: you can also use UNetBootIn, which is additionally multi-platform and supports TONS of distros/versions, but i've found that the pendrivelinux bat files work more reliably from windows | 00:07 |
| elhoir | may someone help please? | 00:07 |
| Syzothermy | Actually, can you send the wep thing's link again? <.< | 00:08 |
| Brett_Laptop | ahhh okay | 00:08 |
| slusk88 | anyone know how i get ctrl alt f1-f6 working i just get a blank screen (ubuntu 8.10) | 00:08 |
| _dbd_l12 | elhoir: the open ati are quite good iirc (i'm on nvidia, so i'm not 100% sure), why would you want to install the proprietary ones ? | 00:08 |
| Brett_Laptop | so these bat files i place on my usb stick along with the ISO? | 00:08 |
| Brett_Laptop | Do I need not format the USB stick to work properly? | 00:09 |
| _dbd_l12 | elhoir: open ati drivers i mean | 00:09 |
| luffy | yos | 00:09 |
| Syzothermy | nvm, got it | 00:09 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: yes, i see the line...its the lst one, www is written in blue | 00:09 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: format the stick to fat32 | 00:09 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: download the proper bat file for ubuntu 8.10 to your desktop, and run it | 00:09 |

| jobless | Hey, can anyone help me with adding startup programs in ubuntu? | 00:09 |
| XDS2010 | http://www.mahalo.com/answers/web-development/can-i-keep-ssh-files-from-being-nonprejudice-when-it-comes-to-local-and-remote-files-inter-mingling | 00:09 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: it'll download the iso to your desktop, unpack it, move it to your flash drive, then make your drive bootable | 00:09 |
| burkzzz | austin_, run `ls -l /var | grep www` and paste the result here, should just be 1 line. | 00:09 |
| elhoir | _dbd_l12 - i tried them also, with same results.. my computer is slowed down too much | 00:09 |
| binarymutant | jobless, startup meaning from the time the computer starts or from the time you login? | 00:10 |
| unop | burkzzz, heh. ls -l /var/*www* | 00:10 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: if you're on Vista with UAC enabled, making the drive bootable will fail- after it's all done, then navigate to the drive, manually, right click on "makeboot.bat" and click "run as administrator." it'll tell you to do this. | 00:10 |
| _dbd_l12 | elhoir: are you sure it is the video drivers? If your machine is aging you could give xubuntu a try... | 00:10 |
| unop | burkzzz, your grep could throw up very strange results | 00:10 |
| alabamahit | can ubuntu be install on a Mac? | 00:10 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: here we go : drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-01-04 11:06 www | 00:11 |
| jobless | binarymutant, yes, I added a startup program in ubuntu using system->preferences->session .. the program runs fine, but I cannot redirect the stdout of the program | 00:11 |
| uplinked | alabamahit: briefly, yes. | 00:11 |
| burkzzz | unop, well your version just gave me "/var/*www*: no such dir" :P | 00:11 |
| elhoir | _dbd_l12 - pretty sure, its performance is ok when i uninstall drivers, and it was ok with my old nvidia card | 00:11 |
| alabamahit | uplinked: without abunch of work? | 00:11 |
| binarymutant | jobless, um let me try and see | 00:11 |
| burkzzz | austin_, ah, there's your problem. the user austin is not authorized to write to the folder. | 00:11 |
| ST47 | Hi. | 00:11 |
| Brett_Laptop | UPLINKED is this it? | 00:11 |
| Brett_Laptop | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ | 00:11 |
| tritium | alabamahit: yes | 00:11 |
| binarymutant | jobless, you might just want to put it in .xinitrc | 00:11 |
| ST47 | It works now. | 00:11 |
| uplinked | alabamahit: i've never tried, personally, but if i had to guess, i'd say "yes" | 00:11 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: xD how did you find that out with that line i gave you? | 00:11 |
| tritium | alabamahit: intel or PPC? | 00:11 |
| alabamahit | sweet :) | 00:11 |
| ST47 | Turns out the recovery console has a 'fsck' command | 00:12 |
| unop | burkzzz, i really wonder why that is .. not | 00:12 |
| alabamahit | tritium: PPC | 00:12 |
| unop | :) | 00:12 |
| tritium | !ppc | alabamahit | 00:12 |
| _dbd_l12 | alabamahit: if you have a PPC processor you may have a look at yellow dog linux | 00:12 |
| burkzzz | austin_, the "drwxr-xr-x" part is very telling ^^ | 00:12 |
| ubottu | alabamahit: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 00:12 |
| tsrk | how can I see the default config files of a server application? and how can i tell it to restore all the default config files? | 00:12 |
| elhoir | _dbd_l12 - i have an Athlon 64-bit 3000+ wit h2 Gb RAM, using Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit | 00:12 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: use this | 00:12 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-810-install-from-windows-non-persistent/ | 00:12 |
| alabamahit | Thanks Everyone :) | 00:12 |
| burkzzz | unop, *doh* wrong box... I fail as usual :p | 00:12 |
| jobless | binarymutant, so I added this line in the sessions /pathtomyprogram/program options > /pathtomylogfile/mylogfile 2>&1 .. I don't see the log :( | 00:12 |
| _dbd_l12 | elhoir: this shouldn't be a problem then, can't help you any further with this ati-specific issue i'm afraid | 00:13 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: it's 8.10 instead of 8.04 :) unless you wanted LTE. the first link under "Step One" is the only thing you need to download, it'll automate the rest for you | 00:13 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: eh,... o.o idk, anyway how do i get it to let me have permission? | 00:13 |
| elhoir | _dbd_l12 - its ok, thanks anyway | 00:13 |
| burkzzz | austin_, hmm... I'm not actually sure what the best way to proceed would be. i've always managed to weave a tangled web of permissions, but never really looked into the proper way of solving the issue. Anyone else have suggestions? Should he just go for a `sudo chown austin:austin` or chmod? or create a group? | 00:13 |
| binarymutant | jobless, let me try, I'm going to log in and out brb | 00:13 |
| Brett_Laptop | so i want 8.1 instead? | 00:14 |
| elhoir | #kubuntu | 00:14 |
| _CWMS_ | 00:14 | |
| Brett_Laptop | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/category/new-usb-linux-tutorials/ | 00:14 |
| burkzzz | and unop, I just realized why your plan was a bad idea... my server lists the contents of www, which are completely irrelevant! | 00:14 |
| unop | burkzzz, heh. ls -dl /var/*www* | 00:14 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: 8.10 is the newest stable release. 8.04 is "long-term support edition", which will have technical support for a garunteed 3 years. if you intend to upgrade to newer versions as they're released, LTE (8.04) is nothing more to you than "an old version" | 00:15 |
| burkzzz | unop, Better. Thanks for the tip, will remember that. ;) | 00:15 |
| === W_McL_ is now known as W_McL | ||
| Brett_Laptop | Hmm, now comes the problem. I have a friend who highly recommends linux mint over ubuntu (even though they are the same practically) | 00:15 |
| === [1]Josephine is now known as Josephine | ||
| Brett_Laptop | which would you choose, since you have a lot of experience | 00:16 |
| burkzzz | austin_, you could just change ownership of the folder to austin, which might not be a great idea if you're going to be working with a bunch of others on the server, but if it's all yours... then i don't really see any obvious problems. | 00:16 |
| tritium | Brett_Laptop: obviously, the answer you'll here is ubuntu. | 00:16 |
| burkzzz | Brett_Laptop, asking in the Ubuntu channel? I'm guessing ubuntu ;) | 00:16 |
| Brett_Laptop | lol! | 00:16 |
| Brett_Laptop | Ok | 00:16 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: ok, yes, i'm the only one.. how do I go about doing this? | 00:16 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: I used mint for ~1 month, didn't like it much | 00:16 |
| Brett_Laptop | Okay, so which one is the proper distro? http://www.pendrivelinux.com/category/new-usb-linux-tutorials/ | 00:16 |
| Brett_Laptop | for installing a partition beside vista on my HD | 00:16 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: it felt like Ubuntu with a sack over it's head. | 00:17 |
| Brett_Laptop | (Still need to keep vista for my visual studios!) | 00:17 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: use this one -- http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-810-install-from-windows-non-persistent/ | 00:17 |
| burkzzz | austin_, `sudo chown austin /var/www` should do the trick. | 00:17 |
| binarymutant | jobless, I would use ~/.xinitrc instead | 00:17 |
| jobless | binarymutant, thanks for doing this | 00:17 |
| burkzzz | austin_, actually, you might want to run `sudo chown -R austin /var/www` to make sure you can edit the files in there too. ^^ | 00:18 |
| icqn | !info jin | 00:18 |
| ubottu | Package jin does not exist in intrepid | 00:18 |
| swatTX | can someone help me with a screen resolution problem? | 00:18 |
| burkzzz | swatTX, Describe it and we'll try :) | 00:18 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: have you partitioned your disk for dual booting yet? or is vista taking up the full thing? | 00:18 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: alright, it uh, just moved on...like no other text came up when i pressed enter. is this right? | 00:18 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: i'd advise against trying to resize the NTFS drive, i just did that yesterday and wound up hosing my vista install | 00:18 |
| jobless | binarymutant, so just add the command to ~/.xinitrc? | 00:18 |
| tsrk | Whenever I reload proftpd it starts having problems... | 00:18 |
| swatTX | can only get max 800x600 resolution | 00:18 |
| burkzzz | austin_, yeah, means everything went perfect :) | 00:18 |
| russia213 | I just had to reinstall windows because GRUB screwed up my hard drive, can I get help with it now? | 00:18 |
| binarymutant | jobless, yep :) | 00:18 |
| burkzzz | austin_, try putting a file in ~/webroot on your client now! | 00:19 |
| elhoir | anyone else has any idea? | 00:19 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: eh, still same problem | 00:19 |
| jobless | binarymutant, let me try it :) .. oh can I create the file if it doesn't already exist? | 00:19 |
| unop | austin_, burkzzz, it's not a good idea changing the permissions of /var/www like that | 00:19 |
| binarymutant | jobless, ya, I'm going to try it too just to make sure | 00:19 |
| jobless | binarymutant, cool | 00:20 |
| burkzzz | unop, yeah, but I asked and nobody gave me a better suggestion. :/ | 00:20 |
| austin_ | unop: what do you suggest? | 00:20 |
| burkzzz | unop, What is the proper way of doing it? | 00:20 |
| rblst | i have a loud buzzing noise before playing any youtube video, before each one, but if i go back to the beginning of one while playing or after it is finished, there is no noise | 00:20 |
| unop | austin_, burkzzz -- use the apache mod_userdir and place things in your ~/public_html | 00:20 |
| swatTX | burkzzz, i can't get more than an 800x600 resolution | 00:21 |
| austin_ | unop: eh, well how do i do that....I don't understand all that linux lingo just yet | 00:21 |
| Brett_Laptop | Thanks a lot uplinked | 00:21 |
| unop | austin_, burkzzz -- if you absolutely insist on putting files in /var/www .. use sudo - there's a reason root owns that directory, it's so it doesn't become compromised | 00:21 |
| Brett_Laptop | im doingthis now | 00:21 |
| binarymutant | how come .xinitrc doesn't work? | 00:21 |
| burkzzz | unop, Hmm... Could you explain that to austin_ then, I'm fairly inexperienced at digging around in httpd.conf... Aliases and SymLinks I get. ^^ | 00:21 |
| mun_ | how do i dynamically limit bandwidth per process in ubuntu? i've tried trickle, but it doesn't seem to allow speed changes after the program has been open. | 00:21 |
| binarymutant | do I need to link .xinitrc to .Xsession? | 00:21 |
| unop | austin_, have a read here - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_userdir.html | 00:21 |
| burkzzz | swatTX, what graphics card? | 00:22 |
| uplinked | Brett_Laptop: Glad to help, good luck! | 00:22 |
| swatTX | burkzzz, how can i find out? | 00:22 |
| Droopsta915 | Why are all the smaller pictures on the internet blurry? | 00:22 |
| burkzzz | austin_, To change things back like they were before I went in and broke stuff (sorry :/ ), type `sudo chown -R root /var/www` and listen to unop. ^^ | 00:22 |
| binarymutant | jobless, it didn't work either hang on, .xinitrc works in other distros I use | 00:23 |
| burkzzz | swatTX, To be honest, I haven't got a clue. I'd guess Google does though... | 00:23 |
| austin_ | burkzzz: its all good, thanks for your help :) | 00:23 |
| austin_ | unop: i read it, and don't really understand it | 00:23 |
| Droopsta915 | What can I do to improve the quality of the pictures online? | 00:24 |
| burkzzz | austin_, You're welcome. :) I guess I'm just too used to setting up testing servers to play around with... Quite inexperienced at proper UAC. Anyways, good luck if you're digging into httpd.conf. :P | 00:24 |
| austin_ | unop: I don't know anything about apache | 00:24 |
| austin_ | and burkzzz: yah man, thanks | 00:24 |
| silvergla | /part | 00:24 |
| _dbd_l12 | swatTX: could you paste the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:24 |
| Droopsta915 | Everything was fine untill I installed 8.10 from 8.04. | 00:24 |
| _dbd_l12 | swatTX: into http://paste.pocoo.org | 00:24 |
| Syzothermy | _dbd_l12 : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/V4TOuU5zSgkesbSuQwwB/ <-- network-manager completely doesnt work with it being edited | 00:25 |
| binarymutant | why doesn't .xinitrc work for me? I've linked it to .xsession, what's going on? | 00:25 |
| swatTX | _dbd_l12, its on a different laptop w/ no internet | 00:25 |
| unop | austin_, here http://microwavebiscuit.wordpress.com/2007/03/31/apache-mod_userdir/ | 00:26 |
| jobless | binarymutant, It did not work for me either, so added it to ~/.profile and made it run in the background. It works! | 00:27 |
| _dbd_l12 | Syzothermy: could you try sudo ifup wlan0 to see what that gives | 00:27 |
| binarymutant | jobless, .profile aye, well thanks for the help :) | 00:27 |
| jobless | binarymutant, I still don't understand what happens to the stdout and stderr when the programs are added to the sessions | 00:27 |
| unop | austin_, though, it might be better to edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default instead of the one he recommends there | 00:27 |
| rblst | i have a loud buzzing noise before playing any youtube video, before each one, but if i go back to the beginning of one while playing or after it is finished, there is no noise | 00:27 |
| Syzothermy | _dbd_l12 : anything else while I edit it again and reboot yet again? (the restart command doesnt seem to do anything) | 00:28 |
| binarymutant | jobless, no clue, but I think it's because the sessions thing doesn't run it from a shell | 00:28 |
| Syzothermy | =P | 00:28 |
| jobless | binarymutant, hmm, maybe they are sent to the endless void called /dev/null ;) | 00:28 |
| Syzothermy | oh, is that to ge network-manager working? | 00:29 |
| _dbd_l12 | Syzothermy: hang on for a while, could you try "ps -el | grep dhcp" after booting ? | 00:29 |
| austin_ | unop: eh, trouble in step one x( | 00:29 |
| binarymutant | why does .profile autostart programs but not .xinitrc linked to .xsession? | 00:29 |

| brutos1st | hi can someone tell me pls whats the german ubuntu channel | 00:35 |
| brutos1st | ??? | 00:35 |
| brutos1st | thx | 00:35 |
| nikrud | unop, wouldn't sudo a2enmod userdir get the results you're looking for? | 00:35 |
| jtaji | brutos1st: #ubuntu-de | 00:35 |
| austin_ | unop: what, do i just scroll down to the botton and type that in? | 00:35 |
| brutos1st | thx | 00:35 |
| unop | nikrud, the module is loaded by default - but you still need the directive in your site for it to be enabled and working | 00:35 |
| swatTX | _dbd_l12: anything? | 00:36 |
| austin_ | unop: oh i think i see it | 00:36 |
| unop | austin_, no, not at the bottom - just somewhere after line #1 will do (btw, aren't you reading me well?) | 00:36 |
| nikrud | unop, that's provided in mods-available/userdir.conf iirc (don't have apache installed in this vm at work) | 00:36 |
| bryanb | Has anyone looked at this iMagic OS distro? lol | 00:36 |
| IntuitiveNipple | nikrud: That is correct... there's a .conf file associated with most mods | 00:37 |
| austin_ | unop: yah, sorry about that. and yes, now i have it type in there. under ServerAdmin webmster@localhost | 00:37 |
| unop | nikrud, that's what i said - the module is loaded by default, but it doesn't automagically work with your site - you still need the directive | 00:37 |
| * nikrud wonders why he only ever used the a2enmod command then | 00:37 | |
| unop | austin_, right | 00:37 |
| swatTX | can anyone help me figure out why i can only get max 800x600 resolution, here is my xorg.conf http://paste.pocoo.org/show/103023/ | 00:37 |
| _dbd_l12 | swatTX: i just pm'ed you suggestions for the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file | 00:37 |
| austin_ | unop: excellent, now what do i do | 00:38 |
| austin_ | ? | 00:38 |
| unop | austin_, save the file and restart apache | 00:39 |
| Syzothermy | _dbd_l12 : I just realised that although the network-manager icon says i'm not connected to anything, I do indeed get a connection | 00:39 |
| austin_ | unop: save? lol cntrl+s? | 00:39 |
| unop | austin_, ctrl+x i believe .. you should see a legend at the bottom of the screen | 00:39 |
| _dbd_l12 | Syzothermy: with the new /etc/network/interfaces of without ;-) | 00:39 |
| Syzothermy | with | 00:40 |
| austin_ | unop: ^x just says exit | 00:40 |
| Syzothermy | I'm not sure what it'll do if it disconnects yet though | 00:40 |
| unop | austin_, might be ctrl+o then .. i'm not sure | 00:40 |
| austin_ | unop: write out? | 00:40 |
| _dbd_l12 | Syzothermy: well you can check that in the future with "ifconfig" in the terminal | 00:40 |
| unop | austin_, yep, that's it | 00:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | The userdir module's .conf file sets public_html up for all /home/*/public_html directories, so it should apply on *all* sites/virtual domains by default | 00:40 |
| Syzothermy | Yeah, I just figured that the "not connected" icon means that i'm not connected | 00:41 |
| Syzothermy | kind of a linux noob here =P | 00:41 |
| Watkins | i have a question, what is it to install vncserver? sudo apt-get install ?? | 00:41 |
| austin_ | unop: alright, it gave me a new legend, Get help, to fils, mac format, prepend, backup file, append, dos format, and cancel | 00:41 |
| austin_ | unop: i want to say its ^T to files? | 00:41 |
| BrianTheCoder | ok, I used to know how to do this, but its been a while since I setup a box, how do I give a user sudo privleges? | 00:42 |
| unop | austin_, now, exit .. ctrl+x | 00:42 |
| n8tuser | Watkins -> if you can get hold of x11vnc its a slightly better vnc server | 00:42 |
| _dbd_l12 | swatTX: can you check if you have xrandr installed (try typing it in the terminal) | 00:42 |
| austin_ | unop: there is not control x, its confiming my file name to write | 00:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | BrianTheCoder: sudo visudo | 00:42 |
| joshjtl | hi, can anyone tell me what i need to install to be able to extract an rpm ? | 00:42 |
| austin_ | unop: i think | 00:42 |
| BrianTheCoder | plus this is my first time setting up a box with ubuntu, used to gentoo | 00:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | BrianTheCoder: See man sudoers | 00:43 |
| unop | austin_, maybe you didn't write_out successfully .. confirm it anyway | 00:43 |
| jtaji | BrianTheCoder: on Ubuntu, add the user to the admin group | 00:43 |
| Syzothermy | So I assume that network-manager is completely unneeded, correct? any way to get rid of that icon up at the top right? just uninstall it? | 00:43 |
| austin_ | unop: confirm with what?? | 00:43 |
| Xae8koo | Hello | 00:43 |
| _dbd_l12 | BrianTheCoder: adding to /etc/sudoers file with the sudoers command iirc | 00:43 |
| austin_ | unop: Get help, to fils, mac format, prepend, backup file, append, dos format, and cancel | 00:43 |
| Xae8koo | I have a bunch of music, what program can sort it, give it the correct metadata, and that kind of stuff? | 00:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | BrianTheCoder: jtaji has the better way, if *all* you want is additional admin's | 00:44 |
| Xae8koo | I am currently using Music Player | 00:44 |
| unop | austin_, ctrl+x should just take you out - i'm not sure why you are seeing this | 00:44 |
| swatTX | _dbd_l12: it is installed and list the max at 800x600 | 00:44 |
| nikrud | Xae8koo, banshee, amarok <-- players with some metadata manipulation; easytag is the swiss knife of metadata handling | 00:45 |
| austin_ | unop: xD i didn't click enter when it asked me to over right.. god i'm a noob...ok its all closed now :) | 00:45 |
| _dbd_l12 | swatTX: well then i'm afraid i'm out of suggestions... | 00:45 |
| BrianTheCoder | IntuitiveNipple: I just need a user to run certain commands with sudo when doing a deploy | 00:45 |
| swatTX | frak | 00:45 |
| Xae8koo | nikrud: banshee sounds cool | 00:46 |
| joshjtl | hello, does anyone know what i need to install to be able to extract an rpm file? | 00:46 |
| IntuitiveNipple | BrianTheCoder: If you want to restrict them to commands, then what I said originally is best... add specific options to the sudoers file using "sudo visudo" and read "man sudoers" to figure out the syntax | 00:46 |
| nikrud | Xae8koo, that's my preferred; handles my nano well | 00:46 |
| BrianTheCoder | IntuitiveNipple: cool, thx | 00:46 |
| cn28h | joshjtl, try alien | 00:46 |
| unop | austin_, ok. restart apache and create a directory ~/public_html .. you should be able to see the contents of it at http://localhost/~yourusername | 00:46 |
| jtaji | BrianTheCoder: in that case you might want to add entires to sudoers with just what you need... as IntuitiveNipple said, and here are some handy examples too http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/sample.sudoers | 00:46 |
| russia213 | Can someone help me reinstall GRUB? | 00:47 |
| nikrud | !alien | joshjtl cn28h (you know, eats the guts of it's host) | 00:47 |
| ubottu | joshjtl cn28h (you know, eats the guts of it's host): 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) | 00:47 |
| Xae8koo | nikrud: I have only 2.6 GB of music, so it is not that much to import. | 00:47 |
| Decepticon | what is this ~/Public dir | 00:47 |
| XDS2010 | does anyone here use SSH or SSHD religiously ? | 00:47 |
| joshjtl | nikrud: I don't want to convert it I just want to extract it | 00:47 |
| Osah_ | !seen ubuntu | 00:47 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 00:47 |
| Decepticon | is it safe to delete ~/Public | 00:47 |
| perillux | a motherboard GPU has an integrated video card right? | 00:47 |
| nikrud | Xae8koo, banshee can leave the music in place and just index it | 00:47 |
| Osah_ | !help | 00:47 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 00:47 |
| austin_ | unop: ok, how to i turn apatche back on | 00:47 |
| joshjtl | cn28h: I don't want to convert it, just extract it | 00:47 |
| swatTX | anyone else have any ideas on how to set my max resolution above 800x600? | 00:47 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XDS2010: I use ssh atheistically :) | 00:48 |
| nikrud | joshjtl, alien is ok then. Or just right click the file and select open with archive manager, I think it handles rpms | 00:48 |
| unop | austin_, sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart | 00:48 |
| Decepticon | is it safe to delete ~/Public ? | 00:48 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: can you understand the following question ........ http://www.netonecom.net/tbchat/pastebin/files/f1d1c6b4e5a1_THO.html | 00:48 |
| XDS2010 | ? | 00:48 |
| nikrud | Decepticon, sure. | 00:48 |
| Xae8koo | nikrud: I want it in a sensible folder structure. | 00:48 |
| joshjtl | nikrud: it doesnt, and i don't want to install all the alien deps | 00:48 |
| Decepticon | nikrud why do you say that, what uses this and who made it and why is it there and why can i delete it | 00:49 |
| nikrud | joshjtl, install mc then, it can read rpms fine | 00:49 |
| nikrud | Decepticon, it's something you can use with samba | 00:49 |
| gatewarstrek | window 1 | 00:49 |
| Decepticon | nikrud i dont care about samba, i have my own shares that ive defined | 00:49 |
| Decepticon | so its safe to rm without screwing something up royally | 00:50 |
| Decepticon | yes? | 00:50 |
| jtaji | Decepticon: yes | 00:50 |
| nikrud | Decepticon, I think I just said that | 00:50 |
| Decepticon | nikrud i wanted to understand why you said that, not just trust your statement | 00:50 |
| austin_ | unop: i make the new folder in my HOME? | 00:50 |
| Decepticon | nikrud is it a crime to do that, to have you repeat/explain yourself | 00:50 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XDS2010: I can't understand what the phrase ""non prejudice"" means | 00:50 |
| russia213 | In Places ----> Computer I see a drive called "filesystem" what is it? | 00:50 |
| unop | austin_, yes, a directory named ~/public_html where you put all your content | 00:51 |
| austin_ | unop: i put in all the conten now? rght | 00:51 |
| nikrud | Decepticon, I expect you to read what I say, then make a decision on whether or not you trust what I said. I'm not here for an inquisition of my ideas. | 00:51 |
| unop | austin_, right | 00:51 |
| _dbd_l12 | russia213: it's the root folder of your filesystem | 00:51 |
| wet-kun | what does USB error 110 means? | 00:51 |
| nikrud | russia213, that's the equivalent of / directory in the terminal | 00:51 |
| Decepticon | nikrud i need to determine wheter your statements are trustable or not by asking you the reason you think why it is safe to do such a thing, which you didnt initially provide a reason, you just said yes | 00:51 |
| russia213 | _dbd_l12, nikrud: Thank you ^^ | 00:52 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: do you know what it means to be prejudice ? | 00:52 |
| austin_ | unop: alright, i dragged the folder into it.....(could i have used the webroot folder?) | 00:52 |
| nikrud | Decepticon, then I told you what it was for. Then you went into inquisition mode. Waste of my time | 00:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XDS2010: I *think* what you're getting at would be dealt with by creating an ssh key locally, and then installing that on each user@server you want to connect to. | 00:52 |
| BrianTheCoder | IntuitiveNipple: how do I add a user to the admin group? | 00:52 |
| Decepticon | nikrud lets drop this, let me ask another question | 00:52 |
| Xae8koo | Can banshee automatically figure out what the name of the song is? | 00:53 |
| unop | austin_, i dunno what webroot is .. but yea, anything with html, css, js, images, etc (if that's what you mean) | 00:53 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: no not really | 00:53 |
| BrianTheCoder | IntuitiveNipple: just add the user name in the group file after adm? | 00:53 |
| Decepticon | nikrud, by the same token, what is ~/Documents ~/Examples ~/Music ~/Pictures ~/Private ~/Public and ~/Templates | 00:53 |
| nikrud | Xae8koo, you mean query a cddb? No, that's done from the cd track id. | 00:53 |
| IntuitiveNipple | BrianTheCoder: sudo adduser <user> <group> | 00:53 |
| Decepticon | nikrud also ~/Videos | 00:53 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: I want to make sure that access/modification/creation times keep there "chains" when using multiple hosts | 00:54 |
| Xae8koo | nikrud: Like music brains stuff | 00:54 |
| nikrud | Decepticon, the titles of each of those are self explanitory. Some apps use those by default; but all apps let you choose your own default | 00:54 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XDS2010: "chains" ? You mean you want to ensure the modification times are accurate? | 00:54 |
| pcuser | hi does ubuntu have driver support for the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT? | 00:54 |
| austin_ | unop: alright, the files are in, what now? i type that thing in the address and my website shoudl show? | 00:54 |
| Kengine | my laptop isnt getting wifi in networkmanager | 00:54 |
| nikrud | pcuser, excellent support | 00:54 |
| Decepticon | nikrud would you say they are safe to rm as well, i see a ~/.Private/ as well, what of it? | 00:55 |
| russia213 | I have windows XP installed on my C:\ (sda1) drive and Ubuntu on my external HDD (sdc1) Last time I tried to install GRUB it messed up my drive C:\ it messed it up, does that have something to do with the Unallocated partition on my C:\ and if so, can I install GRUB while avoiding said partition? | 00:55 |
| pcuser | nithanks | 00:55 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: so one access/modification/creation time for one file (whatever file that might be) is not changed when i connect to one host but it IS changed when i connect to another. | 00:55 |
| unop | austin_, navigate to http://localhost/~yourusername | 00:55 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: understand ? | 00:55 |
| swatTX | anyone else have any ideas on how to set my max resolution above 800x600? | 00:55 |
| pcuser | nikrud, so i am safe to get it:-} | 00:55 |
| CMooney | Sit really close to the screen? | 00:55 |
| nikrud | Decepticon, I see no private. And yes, you can rearrange your home dir visible folders as you see fit. Myself, I'm not thrilled with a windows like home | 00:55 |
| CMooney | Sorry, sarky answer. | 00:56 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XDS2010: hmmm, that sounds weird to me, and no, I can't think how you'd do that without somehow encapsulating the ssh client session in some kind of wrapper | 00:56 |
| nikrud | Decepticon, for example, my equivs are all lowercase | 00:56 |
| Decepticon | nikrud me too | 00:56 |
| nikrud | Xae8koo, I've never actually noticed | 00:56 |
| austin_ | unop: says the URL is not found on this server :( | 00:56 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: a strace might help with this BRB | 00:56 |
| Dracie | hi I can't seem to get the proper HD rez on my desktop running with the nv binary driver, has aonyone noticed this? | 00:56 |
| nikrud | Xae8koo, and my music is on my home machine, I'm just killing time listening to the senate and messing around in this vm at work | 00:56 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Does anyone else understand what XDS2010 is trying to do? It's totally confused me! | 00:57 |
| Decepticon | nikrud i think there is some bit of the screensaver that llooks in ~/Pictures for slideshow screensaver... is this true? | 00:57 |
| austin_ | unop: lol i typed in the thing with /index.html and it dispaleyd the text "it works!" | 00:57 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: but DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION ? | 00:57 |
| unop | austin_, no, that's not it | 00:57 |
| XDS2010 | sorry for caps | 00:57 |
| unop | austin_, that's still reading /var/www/index.html | 00:57 |

| Xae8koo | Does banshee have an export feature? To just export to a random foldder? | 00:58 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XDS2010: As I said, no, it sounds weird and the phrases you use aren't generally understandable English... is your first language something other than English? | 00:58 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: unfortunately no it isn't | 00:58 |

| bbryant | hey | 01:01 |
| Decepticon | nikrud i do not use that dir at all | 01:01 |
| Decepticon | nikrud maybe the system is using it in some whay im not aware of | 01:01 |
| bbryant | does anyone know where the gnome settings manager is that stores the wireless networks for NM? | 01:01 |
| nikrud | Decepticon, I don't have a Private or .Private at all ... | 01:01 |
| canthus13 | Are there any strange things I should be aware of before I upgrade to intrepid from hardy? | 01:02 |

| austin_ | * Restarting web server apache2 ... waiting | 01:02 |
| redvamp128 | loner269: upgrades are easy-- downgrades as stated above would break too much things-- | 01:02 |
| Decepticon | nikrud i remember when in stalled unbutnu it asked if i wanted a Public and/or Private dir | 01:02 |
| Decepticon | *i installed | 01:02 |
| nikrud | !upgrade | canthus13 they go over that on the upgrade pages | 01:02 |
| ubottu | canthus13 they go over that on the upgrade pages: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 01:02 |
| _dbd_l12 | austin_: look in httpd.conf to see what port apache is running on. it may well be http://localhost:8080/~austin | 01:02 |
| loner269 | my problem is now i got flash10 an cam dont work but on flash9 everything worked fine | 01:02 |
| Decepticon | nikrud any idea how to stop that option | 01:02 |
| nikrud | work day is done, I am going home. Decepticon lsof | grep -i private should show you if some app has a lock on that path | 01:03 |
| Decepticon | anyone know how to get rid of the ~/Private dir | 01:03 |
| redvamp128 | loner269: pm | 01:03 |

| * canthus13 would stick with hardy if he could get sound to work again in DDO. | 01:03 | |
| Decepticon | who or what is libmetacity-private | 01:03 |
| austin_ | unop: where to i type in httpd.conf | 01:03 |
| canthus13 | nikrud: I wish I had. | 01:03 |
| nikrud | Decepticon, metacity is the software that controls window borders | 01:04 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: the question really isn't that bad | 01:04 |
| canthus13 | nikrud: My next laptop will be from system76, most likely. | 01:04 |
| nikrud | why it would be there .... | 01:04 |
| _dbd_l12 | austin_: it's supposed to be in you apache/conf directory | 01:04 |

| nikrud | anyway I am gone | 01:04 |

| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: all that i need is a way to keep ssh/sshd backend file chain times seperate when using multiple hosts | 01:05 |
| _dbd_l12 | austin_: try typing "locate httpd.conf" in the terminal. What does that give | 01:05 |
| unop | austin_, from a terminal. mkdir -p ~/public_html && firefox "http://localhost/~$USER" | 01:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XDS2010: I think what you need to do is patch the sshd/ssh code to do what you want | 01:05 |
| unop | _dbd_l12, httpd.conf is deprecated - it's no longer used | 01:06 |
| austin_ | _dbd_l12 this is what yours gave me: locate: can not open `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': No such file or directory | 01:06 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: can't i just setup multiple users in linux ? | 01:06 |
| austin_ | and unop: it says firefox command no found | 01:06 |
| _dbd_l12 | unop, austin_: sorry if i am interrupting a conversation. the new dir-like conf structure was new indeed, sorry about that | 01:06 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: ..... to stop gap this ? | 01:06 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: multiple linux users wouldn't accomplish this ? | 01:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XDS2010: maybe you need to use an ssh key server and agent | 01:07 |
| austin_ | _dbd_l12 ok so what does that mean... | 01:07 |
| unop | austin_, ahh, sorry, you're working on the server, i forgot | 01:07 |
| perillux | I'm confused about NVidia's Hybrid-SLI. Do the motherboards come with an integrated video card? | 01:07 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: what good would that do ? | 01:07 |
| austin_ | unop: no i'm working on my gui machine | 01:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XDS2010: why not set up a test environment on your local PC and test it ... a small number of guest virtual machines | 01:07 |
| unop | austin_, which machine is apache installed on? and running? | 01:08 |
| austin_ | its installed on my ubunuter sever ed. machine | 01:08 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: i don't have the patience for that right now | 01:08 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: thats why i posted the question | 01:08 |
| unop | austin_, so you created ~/public_html on that macine, right? | 01:08 |
| unop | machine* | 01:08 |
| XDS2010 | and put a tip as a reward IntuitiveNipple | 01:08 |

| swatTX | can anyone help me figure out why i can only get max 800x600 resolution, here is my xorg.conf http://paste.pocoo.org/show/103023/ | 01:09 |
| unop | austin_, ohh lord - sorry, i'm too tired for this now, ask someone else | 01:09 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XDS2010: Well, in these kind of situations, the one thing you're going to need is patience, and to do *a lot* of investigation and testing. That's the joy of open-source... you can play with it until it does what you want | 01:09 |
| austin_ | unop: O.O | 01:10 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: i don't have the time or else i would bud | 01:10 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: do you understand what im trying to acomplish ? | 01:11 |
| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: do you understand what im trying to accomplish ?* | 01:11 |

| XDS2010 | IntuitiveNipple: i don't want you to solve it for me | 01:13 |

| unop | austin_, you seem to have two config files in there with the same directives - that could be causing the conflict | 01:32 |
| austin_ | unop: o.o what do i do about that? | 01:33 |
| unop | austin_, i'd say delete the first one. sudo rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default | 01:33 |
| SimplySeth | is there a kernel command line that forces a kernel to recognize dual core ? | 01:33 |
| unop | austin_, then, restart apache and try again. sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart | 01:33 |
| ezerhoden | SimplySeth: no | 01:33 |
| SimplySeth | ezerhoden: great | 01:33 |

| Cody | AmishNinja: Other computer is dead until i do so. So im doing it from this computer. | 01:38 |
| AmishNinja | Cody: you can install the firmware cutter from the install CD as well as ndiswrapper | 01:39 |
| rww | SimplySeth: Oh, I see. Googling reveals: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-rt/+bug/290498 and http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#UbuntuStudio%20real-time%20kernel%20support | 01:39 |
| SimplySeth | ezerhoden: okay lemme boot with the generic kernel and see | 01:39 |

| XDS2010 | so does anyone here even use ssh allot ? | 01:39 |

| rww | sagredo: You should probably figure out why irssi thinks that's your hostname. See http://dragoncat.net/lists/irssi-users/2004-01/0028.html for more information. The IP address in the error message is the address of the server hosting yourmom.com. | 01:43 |

| helix_ | jtaji, nohup? | 01:45 |
| unop | austin_, it says the last one you've tried is http://server/austin instead of http://server/~austin | 01:45 |
| novok | hi all | 01:46 |
| jtaji | helix_: nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty | 01:46 |
| xonpathos | anybody here experienced (or know anything about) the problem where a usb mouse stays on after you shut down the computer? | 01:46 |

| cyad | so can i get some help | 01:58 |
| sagredo | like so I don't have to type . xxx.sh | 01:58 |

| sagredo | just xxx | 01:59 |
| _dbd_l12 | sagredo: chmod +x | 01:59 |
| luapzor | The default from the iso, is making me download at about 5-10kb per second | 01:59 |
| jumpkick | scunizi: do you have menus for either of those? | 01:59 |
| Agr | sagredo: chmod -x file.sh | 01:59 |
| unop | sagredo, alias foo='. xxx.sh' | 01:59 |
| luapzor | its horrid | 01:59 |
| luapzor | 6 hours to update it says. and my connection is 10 megabit here | 01:59 |
| Agr | Er, chmod +x file | 01:59 |

| austin_ | unop: ok great! there uploaded *drool* | 01:59 |
| _dbd_l12 | sagredro: make a symlink in /usr/bin ? | 01:59 |

| scunizi | jumpkick: I installed the version off the site.. it landed in Applications>System Tools.. I don't have either of the directories/menu's you mentioned. | 02:00 |
| Agr | _dbd_l12: Unnecessary. | 02:00 |
| cyad | how long do you guys use linux | 02:00 |
| aar | Hi, my room mate and I share a connectin through a router. I can see his subnet address in the router configuration page, but how can I find his public IP from his subnet address? | 02:00 |
| unop | austin_, well, that depends on the webpage. but refresh the page and all should become obvious | 02:00 |
| cyad | i just 2 years | 02:00 |
| scunizi | !pole | cyad | 02:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pole | 02:00 |
| Agr | cyad: Long enough. | 02:00 |
| jumpkick | scunizi: k | 02:00 |
| jumpkick | it's a bug then | 02:00 |
| jumpkick | I'll file it | 02:00 |
| austin_ | unop: it still shows test pag | 02:01 |
| cyad | so it is clear i am a newbie | 02:01 |
| unop | aar, it's quite likely that your router is a NAT router .. in which case, you both will share the same public IP address | 02:01 |

| RichardBronosky | I need a runlevel or other way to boot an Ubuntu into a state with no Xorg | 02:01 |

| cyad | i just cant make it work | 02:02 |
| unop | austin_, no, in the shell - on the server | 02:02 |
| austin_ | unop: says no file/direcotry exists | 02:03 |
| RichardBronosky | I've wrote some SDL code that needs to manipulate the FrameBuffer directly. I must be booted into a non-graphical state. | 02:03 |
| austin_ | unop: and i'm refresshing like a mo fo and its stilll showing "test page" | 02:03 |
| unop | austin_, hmm. what does this give you? ls -ld ~/public_html/*index* | 02:04 |

| luapzor | Agr: How do i changed my downloading for packages? | 02:04 |
| xonpathos | austin_ refreshing a web page? hold down the shift key to make sure it's not pulling from cache | 02:04 |
| jtaji | RichardBronosky: you can stop X with 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop', you can disable it using update-rc.d, or by changing the contents of /etc/X11/default-display-manager to FALSE | 02:04 |
| cyad | guys can you help just tell me what to google | 02:04 |
| cyad | ubuntu is making me crap | 02:05 |

| unop | austin_, rm /home/austin/public_html/index.html | 02:05 |
| xonpathos | :/ | 02:05 |
| RichardBronosky | Yeah, I did gdm stop but the framebuffer isn't freed. | 02:05 |
| austin_ | unop: :D YES I SEE MY INDEX THING | 02:05 |
| _dbd_l12 | RichardBronosky: disabling x = update-rc.d -f gdm remove | 02:05 |
| shawnmstout | has anyone here tried out ubuntu media center? | 02:05 |
| austin_ | omg omg omg omg i came :D | 02:05 |
| austin_ | unop: i've been working on thsi stuff the past 3 weeks....thanks a ton man | 02:06 |
| xonpathos | anybody know a fix for the problem where your usb mouse stays on after your computer shuts off? | 02:06 |
| unop | austin_, np - have fun now :) | 02:06 |
| RichardBronosky | I'll try update-rc.d... sound like chconfig on RHEL. | 02:06 |
| shawnmstout | xon, yes unplug and replace | 02:06 |
| austin_ | unop: now, with this...how do i get it to work with the actuall internets? | 02:06 |
| RichardBronosky | _dbd_l12 jtaji, thanks | 02:06 |
| cyad | ok guys thanks for nothing | 02:06 |
| cyad | bye | 02:06 |
| unop | austin_, you mean you want people to access this page from the internet? | 02:07 |
| xonpathos | shawnmstout: yeah... but every time I shutdown/restart? | 02:07 |
| jtaji | RichardBronosky: yes it is similar, no prob | 02:07 |
| suamme1 | does anyone have any advice for an onboard intel NIC that stopped working in ibex? | 02:07 |
| austin_ | unop: yah, and eventually get a domain for it | 02:07 |
| shawnmstout | thats why you replace | 02:07 |
| shawnmstout | replace the mouse, sounds like a hardware issue or a port issue | 02:07 |
| xonpathos | as in get a new mouse? | 02:07 |
| xonpathos | it's not | 02:07 |
| shawnmstout | yes | 02:07 |
| xonpathos | works perfectly in winblows | 02:07 |
| shawnmstout | you have tried a different mouse? | 02:07 |
| Guest | just installed ibex on a Thinkpad T500 - sometimes it boots into GUI, but more often into shell: "kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot... Ubuntu 8.10 ... tty1" -- startx doesnt work | 02:07 |
| unop | austin_, you'll need to configure your router/firewall/whatever to forward port 80 to the server's IP address - how that is done varies from device to device, i'd consult the documentation | 02:08 |
| shawnmstout | so has anyone used ubuntu media center here? | 02:08 |
| shawnmstout | any thoughts on it? | 02:08 |
| shawnmstout | just wanted to know before i install | 02:08 |
| austin_ | unop: alright, so i gotta foward port 80....then what? ( and should all my files be showing up in my index?) | 02:08 |
| xonpathos | shawnmstout: it's actually a bug first reported in 2005, I'm just hoping someone knows some fix I can't find... I find it hard to believe such a crippling bug has gone uncorrected for 4 years | 02:09 |
| shawnmstout | xon, sorry dont have any info on it bud | 02:09 |
| xonpathos | np, thanks anyway :) | 02:09 |

| austin_ | unop: yah, none of the fils are showing up in the web thing | 02:10 |

| luapzor | i do an apt-get update | 02:11 |
| luapzor | then do an apt-get upgrade | 02:11 |
| luapzor | after installing from the base cd | 02:11 |
| suamme1 | would working with 1394 devices kill my NIC, or did i happen upon a bug? | 02:11 |
| luapzor | and its downloading at 5kb per second | 02:11 |
| dzcom | My new install of Ibex just goes to a shell - no GUI. Message is: "kinit: trying to resume from..." "kinit: no resume image doing normal boot" -- then there is a login prompt but no gui. Any ideas? | 02:11 |
| luapzor | I need to change my download source to a local mirror :) | 02:11 |
| Flannel | luapzor: Right, you want to change your repositories. Editing your sources.list is one way to do it (and the easiest, as far as I'm concerned, assuming you're comfortable editing a text file) | 02:12 |
| rww | luapzor: System > Administration > Software Sources > Download from: Other > Select Best Server (or choose your favorite) | 02:12 |

| unop | austin_, maybe you used absolute paths when referring to images and links?? i.e. <img src="/path/to/image" /> rather than <img src="path/to/img" /> | 02:25 |
| austin_ | unop: what i'm saying is, my web page comes up when i click on the folder, but none of the web pages or links | 02:25 |

| SaderBiscut | It's a older laptop | 02:29 |

| SaderBiscut | I can make due with that. | 02:29 |

| redvamp128 | russia213: add to your line with root this instead rootnoverify | 02:32 |
| danbhfive | SaderBiscut: yeah. you could shave 1g off of linux and move it elsewhere (my install which is fairly default takes up only 3.2g atm). You could also shave off several gigs off /home. I'm not sure about how much you need for windows. | 02:33 |

| draeday_ | is there a way to compile c++ source code created on windows on my ubuntu system | 02:33 |
| b33r | Hello I have a mini SD 2GB but it's showing 7MB does it mean it's broken? I also can't format it | 02:34 |
| curt | wasn't sure if this was a community support channel or what... I've not had sound in flash movies (but I have with rhythmbox, movie player, etc..) and always assumed it was a flash problem. By freak accident I've realized that if I kill the pulse audio process, flash sound suddenly works. I figured I'd remove pulse audio to see if that was the magic fix, but when I got to mark it for uninstallation, synaptic wants to also remove ubuntu-desk | 02:34 |
| curt | top, obviously I don't want to do that. Any suggestions? | 02:34 |
| marko-_-- | draeday_, ask on #c++ | 02:34 |

| dyf1 | i'm on fluxbox | 02:35 |
| danbhfive | SaderBiscut: no, but more RAM would. the sluggishness is from the usage of swap instead of ram | 02:36 |
| redvamp128 | cjae: it helps you mount it and set write permissions | 02:36 |

| machine | Question: Is there a way to change PDF icon. My current icon shows the first page of the pdf file. I want to show only an icon | 02:36 |
| redvamp128 | cjae: also make sure you have the ntfs3g installed- | 02:36 |
| cjae | redvamp128: usb... it automounts and I can see and access all of it except copy | 02:37 |

| danbhfive | SaderBiscut: and there is always xubuntu. You may want to give that a try | 02:37 |
| SaderBiscut | I did, it didn't help. | 02:38 |
| redvamp128 | cjae: that ntfs config -- if you let it mount the usb then click on it -- will allow you to read and write | 02:38 |

| === sigma is now known as Guest18827 | ||
| cjae | redvamp128: I may be wrong but it thought you didn't need those apps since kernel (well the newer ones) or is it just that I have read access and no write or execute permission | 02:39 |
| redvamp128 | cjae: it looks to me like in order to write to NTFS you have be sudo (or have higher permissions) | 02:40 |

| xonpathos | anybody know the command to remove a (usb) mouse from linux? | 02:41 |
| kalakouentin | yes /me unplug mouse | 02:41 |
| cjae | redvamp128: I have not installed either of those programs and I was just able to create a new folder on the ntfs drive so it must an issue with ntfs ->reiserfs copy | 02:41 |
| xonpathos | kalakouentin I'm trying to do some debugging... so kinda hoped to leave the mouse actually connected | 02:42 |
| redvamp128 | sigma92: is xp on your first partition of your drive? | 02:42 |
| SaderBiscut | Also, neither the SWAP or Home partitions need to be primary, do they? | 02:42 |

| xonpathos | :) | 02:42 |
| tomboggle | I need to ask a simple question.....somehow the floppy drive has disappeared from the "compputer" listing in Ubuntu. It was there yesterday and I think I did something to remove it. Now I need to get it back, can anybody tell me how???? | 02:42 |
| cjae | !reiserfs | 02:42 |
| ubottu | reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html | 02:42 |
| xonpathos | I figured as much | 02:42 |
| kalakouentin | start by doing an lsusb | 02:43 |
| usser | xonpathos, you can remove the relevant device section that pertains to your mouse from /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if it is there in the first place, ubuntu doesnt rely on xorg.conf that much anymore, other than that i dont know | 02:43 |
| kalakouentin | to check in which port BUS you got it | 02:43 |
| redvamp128 | sigma92: is xp on the first parition-- because I have currently open in the browser the lines to add to your menu.1st file if so to get windows to boot | 02:43 |

| xonpathos | usser: thanks. I think I'm headed a bit more general than that though... I'm more hoping to emulate what linux does as it shuts down (just not in C) | 02:44 |

| Logikos | Please help: i'm trying to get auido from flash objects in firefox to go to my usb audio controler, i've changed the settings in system>prefs>sound to point to my usb but flash uses the ļ»æfirst OSS/ALSA audio device ... is there a way to change the order to make the usb first | 03:20 |
| WebcamWonder | Logikos: asoundconf can set the default card. But I have never worked with it, so I know very little | 03:21 |
| WebcamWonder | Logikos: asoundconf list, to get a list of all the cards, and asoundconf set-default-card <parameter> | 03:21 |
| xonpathos | ok guys, what do you make of this: surfing through my Xorg.0.log file, I find a line that says "Razer Copperhead Laser Mouse: Configuring as Keyboard" and several lines to support that it did just that (incidentally my mouse didn't work) | 03:23 |
| Gnea | I've got a [Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)] with 8.10, and it works only to a certain extent... it's using the b43legacy.ko driver, but instead of doing the full 54g, it's only at 1Mbps (the slowest setting) and the antenna is within 30 feet. I've tried changing channels to no avail. the AP is a netgear. How can I troubleshoot this to get the speed it should have? The problem I'm having is like th | 03:24 |
| Logikos | WebcamWonder: i know you said you wernt that fimilar with it, but i did asoundconf list and it gives only 2 options: CK8 and Audio | 03:25 |
| seam0nster | can someone please help me ? | 03:25 |
| Logikos | WebcamWonder: those optiosn arnt very descriptive ... should i just set default to audio ? | 03:25 |

| ubottu | seam0nster: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:25 |
| seam0nster | okay sorry... | 03:25 |
| WebcamWonder | Logikos: And I believe one of them has to be your USB | 03:25 |
| Logikos | WebcamWonder: alright then, i'll set default to the 2nd one and see what happens, thanks | 03:26 |
| WebcamWonder | Gnea: sudo iwconfig <wlan0 or whatever interface > rate auto, (to force auto), sudo iwconfig <wlan0> rate 54M (force it 54) | 03:26 |
| WebcamWonder | Gnea: Usually, it is down to 1 MB/s for a reason, check your fragmentation, rts, and other settings | 03:26 |
| WebcamWonder | Gnea: Also, broadcom, has personally, never given me the good old full 54m, might just be b/c of the proprietary firmware | 03:27 |

| seam0nster | okay thanks | 03:28 |
| WebcamWonder | Gnea: Interesting. I got it to 36M with changing it to the proper fragmentation and rts values. They always conflicted slowing it down to crawling speed | 03:29 |

| WebcamWonder | Logikos: No problems, glad to help | 03:30 |
| Gnea | WebcamWonder: no worries :) | 03:30 |
| WebcamWonder | jero: You might have some better luck googling for your specific model of the laptop. There might be some workarounds, if ntohing works, you can always report a bug in launchpad | 03:31 |
| seam0nster | okay here is my problem in pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/115042/ thanks | 03:31 |
| WebcamWonder | seam0nster: sudo apt-get install -f (that should fix broken packages) | 03:32 |

| seam0nster | i will try that, thankyou | 03:32 |
| arvind_khadri | hi, my grub loads but when i boot ubuntu , the orange bar makes to and fro forever.... | 03:32 |

| sensae | Could someone suggest a music player that's GTK and supports album artist tags? | 03:33 |
| seam0nster | still the same error -_- | 03:33 |
| jero | i would almost go as far to assume the hardware has a problem, if it would not work 100% in winXP | 03:33 |
| WebcamWonder | seam0nster: Which distro are you using? | 03:34 |
| jero | the problem is clearly linux or its implementation | 03:34 |
| seam0nster | im sorry, what ? | 03:34 |
| WebcamWonder | seam0nster: Which version of ubuntu. Sorry for the grammar, apparently, my brain has decided to turn off today | 03:34 |
| seam0nster | ^_^ np, how can i find out?, i am a three day old windows escapee | 03:35 |
| tritium | jero: actually, the real problem is often that hardware vendors don't support driver development on linux. | 03:35 |
| WebcamWonder | jero: Linux fully support ACPI, but the hardware vendors sometimes don't. While I agree with you that you cannot trust it, I don't see a viable option other than waiting for upstream to fix it if you report a bug | 03:35 |
| jero | its old hardware, nc8000 | 03:36 |

| dyf | hello.. i have ubuntu with fluxbox, how can i handle my sound? what multiplexing and mixing software can i use? | 03:38 |
| WebcamWonder | Gnea: No problems. BTW the forced to 54M won't ensure that it actually transfers it at 54M. I might even go further and say that forcing it to a speed would degrade the speed itself | 03:38 |
| bdelin88 | hey i have a problem here, i am trying to delete trash anywhere on my desktop but it skips the trashcan and gets deleted forever, what's the deal? It says: cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately? | 03:39 |

| Djmellisse | ok will test sudo | 03:40 |

| seam0nster | no problem, i can see that :) | 03:42 |
| WebcamWonder | macman: Make sure you are doing it from a livecd. you cannot resize active partitions (partitions that are currently mounted) | 03:42 |
| rww | macman: GParted can't resize active partitions. If you're trying to resize the partition you're currently running Ubuntu from, you'll need to boot from an Ubuntu or GParted Live CD to do it. | 03:42 |
| macman | lol ok | 03:43 |

| dyf | ziroday: 9.04 alpha | 04:04 |
| jerone-mobile | ziroday: ?? | 04:04 |
| ksoviero | my server hates me | 04:04 |
| ziroday | jerone: sorry, tab complete fail | 04:04 |
| WebcamWonder | Chaorain: Wait, let me get the package name, I always forget it | 04:04 |
| tritium | dyf: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty, please | 04:04 |
| ziroday | dyf: jaunty help in #ubuntu+1. Also see dont-zap | 04:05 |
| dyf | !dont-zap | 04:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dont-zap | 04:05 |
| WebcamWonder | !info compizconfig-settings-manager | 04:05 |
| ubottu | compizconfig-settings-manager (source: compizconfig-settings-manager): Compiz configuration settings manager. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.7.8-0ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 619 kB, installed size 4048 kB | 04:05 |
| dyf | ziroday: what's don't zap | 04:05 |
| WebcamWonder | Chaorain: ^^ | 04:05 |
| ziroday | dyf: in #ubuntu+1 :) | 04:05 |
| Chaorain | WebcamWonder: k | 04:05 |
| tritium | dyf: if you're running jaunty, you should be reading enough to know what they changed regarding dontzap | 04:05 |
| ksoviero | i tried to install cups, but when i do it kills that server | 04:05 |
| WebcamWonder | Chaorain: Install that package to get the glories of everything compiz can offer :P | 04:05 |
| dyf | tritium: i'm just using it because it has support for my hardware out of the box.. nothing special | 04:06 |
| sagredo | test | 04:06 |
| dyf | tritium: i had troubles with 8.10 | 04:06 |
| Xaero | I have a question about compiling and running a program, if I were to download the program source could I compile it for 32-bit OS even though I'm using x86_64 and if I can, can I then run that 32-bit binary under my 64-bit linux? | 04:06 |
| sagredo | woot | 04:06 |
| jero | what are the implications other than not having support anymore, when installing an old ubuntu distro ? | 04:06 |
| jero | would i have trouble finding packages for it? | 04:06 |
| smoovep | Question? how to let ftp users keep their permissions on uploaded files | 04:06 |
| WebcamWonder | jero: No updates... You would have to compile stuff yourself | 04:06 |
| DSSA1 | Does anyone know if I want to install the server version of 8.10 and already have the desktop version on a computer if I can just copy over it? | 04:06 |
| ziroday | jero: you don't get updates (like security updates) for it anymoer | 04:07 |
| jero | ok, thats not too hard, but is there anything else i have to consider? | 04:07 |
| WebcamWonder | DSSA1: Copy it over? What do you mean? The entire fs? | 04:07 |
| DSSA1 | I'm not sure | 04:07 |
| Xaero | anybody know how to compile 32 bit binaries in x64 linux? | 04:07 |
| Chaorain | WebcamWonder: apt-get says its installed with the latest version | 04:07 |
| WebcamWonder | jero: Nope. Old versions of ubuntu are just, older kernels with older paackages | 04:07 |
| DSSA1 | built a new computer to use as a file server at home here | 04:07 |
| Xaero | and if its possible using ia32-libs to run said binary in x64? | 04:07 |
| ziroday | jero: and its a pita to upgrade | 04:07 |
| WebcamWonder | Chaorain: System -> Prefs -> Advanced Desktop Effect Seettings, you don't see it? | 04:08 |
| DSSA1 | loaded Ubuntu Desktop, but found that I really need the server edition instead | 04:08 |
| jero | in my case the upgrade was a downgrade | 04:08 |
| DSSA1 | I apologize---I'm really computer retarded | 04:08 |
| jero | if you cannot get suspend to work on a laptop, the OS in question is useless | 04:08 |
| WebcamWonder | DSSA1: So, you want GUI on your server, or GUI off your server? | 04:08 |
| brettley_laptop | why did grub not load on startup after i installed ubuntu? | 04:08 |
| DSSA1 | Just want to load the server edition on the right wat | 04:08 |
| qcjn | hi, does it make a difference when i close with sudo poweroff instead of shutting down with the upper right icone ? does it close the same way ? | 04:08 |
| nickrud | DSSA1, it doesn't matter: you can just install the server packages you want | 04:08 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: you can remove the desktop packages with sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop and then install the file server packages | 04:08 |
| corywaltzer | I tried to edit the file add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list but I cannot open it with a text editor...any help? | 04:08 |
| ksoviero | i tried to install cups, but when i do it kills that server | 04:09 |
| nickrud | corywaltzer, gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:09 |
| DSSA1 | I want GUI on my server eventually, and want to follow this: http://www.corey-m.com/blog/?p=332 | 04:09 |
| ziroday | corywaltzer: tried doing gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:09 |
| Chaorain | WebcamWonder: no just the Compizsettings manager. | 04:09 |
| DSSA1 | But I have the desktop version on there already, and this is my first instance of using/trying Ubuntu | 04:09 |
| WebcamWonder | Chaorain: That, my friend, is very weird | 04:09 |
| ksoviero | Does anyone know why cups would hurt a server | 04:10 |
| nickrud | qcjn, it causes your desktop to abruptly stop, without the normal shutdown; the rest of the system shuts down normally | 04:10 |
| dyf | does anyone know if the current ubuntu has support ofr boradcom wireless cards in the restricted drivers manager? | 04:10 |
| ben44b | anyone know what Error25 at Grub loading.... is? | 04:10 |
| DSSA1 | Gotcha. Anyone have any good 'how to's' on loading the required server apps onto the desktop | 04:10 |
| nickrud | DSSA1, the server version uses the exact same packages as the desktop, except for the kernel. Unless you're running heavy hardware, it makes no diff | 04:10 |
| ziroday | dyf: depends on the card, however yes it has improved since hardy | 04:10 |
| Chaorain | WebcamWonder: I think it is the same thing | 04:10 |
| nickrud | DSSA1, what are you trying to run on your server? | 04:11 |
| WebcamWonder | Chaorain: Does it give you a rteally big window with many diff plugin support optins? | 04:11 |
| DSSA1 | nickrud: Just trying to set this box up as a file-server for quickbooks and storage for 3 other computers. | 04:11 |
| ksoviero | does anyone know anything about cups here? | 04:11 |
| WebcamWonder | !cups | ksoviero | 04:11 |
| ubottu | ksoviero: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 04:11 |
| qcjn | nickrud: ok, thanks | 04:11 |
| nickrud | DSSA1, what type of storage? samba? | 04:11 |
| Chaorain | WebcamWonder: yes. Let me find a picture of it | 04:11 |
| DSSA1 | nickrud: Err...not sure yet | 04:11 |
| DSSA1 | trying to figure this all out | 04:11 |
| nickrud | DSSA1, samba is essentially the same as windows file sharing | 04:12 |
| WebcamWonder | Chaorain: Ok, that means you have it. They must have renamed it in Intrepid, anyways.. you can go into the settings of the 3d cube plugins and tweak with them | 04:12 |
| DSSA1 | probably not the best for me to try to figure out my first home-built file server this way, but I'd really like to learn how to set it up | 04:12 |
| DSSA1 | Ahh, gotcha | 04:12 |
| sagredo | what is the terminal cmd to "run" an executable file | 04:12 |
| george | My first time here..so..listening.. | 04:12 |
| DSSA1 | I've been using stupid things like NAS devices which constantly fail | 04:12 |
| nickrud | DSSA1, and, I'm clueless with samba :) | 04:12 |
| ziroday | sagredo: if its a bash script then ./<filename? | 04:12 |
| DSSA1 | trying to get away from that | 04:12 |
| WebcamWonder | sagredo: Current directory? ./filename | 04:12 |
| sagredo | nickrud: how long did it take you to learn everything | 04:12 |
| nickrud | sagredo, someday I expect to be competent | 04:13 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: are any of the computers accessing the file share windows or is just unix's? | 04:13 |
| DSSA1 | nickrud: I appreciate the input regardless. Your "cluelessness" as you claim it to be is lightyears ahead of me. | 04:13 |
| nickrud | sagredo, but probably after a year or so I knew enough to know how to answer my own questions | 04:13 |
| corywaltzer | ok I am in there now, do I just add the lines at the bottom of the sources.list? | 04:13 |
| sagredo | WebcamWonder: ziroday: I want to use alias songbird='/home/sagredo/Songbird/songbird-bin | 04:13 |
| DSSA1 | ziroday: They're all windows XP computers | 04:13 |
| ziroday | corywaltzer: correct | 04:13 |
| corywaltzer | ok thank you.... | 04:14 |
| WebcamWonder | sagredo: just type: songbird | 04:14 |
| sagredo | nickrud: how long ago was that first year... just curious, I remember seeing you here quite some years ago | 04:14 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: all right, well then samba is really the only option you have :). I can guide you through the install if you want | 04:14 |
| smoovep | Anyreason why all my ftp users files belongs to root? | 04:14 |
| sagredo | WebcamWonder: bash: cmd not found | 04:14 |
| nickrud | sagredo, my first ever linux install? March 19, 2000 :) | 04:14 |
| DSSA1 | I'm basically trying to just set up a more-reliable, faster, glorified network device | 04:14 |
| sagredo | nickrud: what continent are you located on? | 04:14 |
| DSSA1 | ziroday: If you have the time, I'd appreciate it | 04:15 |
| sagredo | do you know Mr. Shuttles | 04:15 |
| bilel | fr | 04:15 |
| nickrud | sagredo, Los Angeles CA | 04:15 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: no problem, are you familiar with the terminal? | 04:15 |
| WebcamWonder | !fr | bilel | 04:15 |
| ubottu | bilel: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 04:15 |
| DSSA1 | I'm pretty helpless though, let me forewarn you | 04:15 |
| sagredo | nice I'm in Orange County :) | 04:15 |
| DSSA1 | ziroday: I just loaded ubuntu for the first time about 2 hours agoo | 04:15 |
| nickrud | sagredo, no, I know no one personally. Just enjoy helping out. You might like #ubuntu-california , there's a loco team with some members in OC | 04:15 |
| DSSA1 | been reading what I can find on it for the last 24 hours | 04:15 |
| sagredo | nickrud: thanks I'll scope it | 04:16 |
| Quicken2k | I lost my GUI only text now...why? | 04:16 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: got it :), okay most of the stuff you'll be doing is from the terminal. If you don't understand anything ask me :). First open a terminal from Applications > Accesories > Terminal | 04:16 |
| sagredo | nickrud: how can I alias a executable file? The only way I've been able to figure out how to run it is with the guis | 04:16 |
| corywaltzer | something else is wrong, I am trying to find out what Ver. of Ubuntu I am using, but when I click About Ubuntu, it says starting about Ubuntu, then disappears | 04:16 |
| spritle | what's a good usenet client for linux? | 04:16 |
| DSSA1 | ziroday: Doing that now | 04:16 |
| ziroday | corywaltzer: you can also find that out by doing lsb_release -a in a terminal | 04:16 |
| corywaltzer | ok cool | 04:17 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: great, then we're going to install the samba packages | 04:17 |
| DSSA1 | ziroday: done | 04:17 |
| Chaorain | WebcamWonder: ok, when I don't use distortion the image is the right size but when I use distortion it looks better but is out of proportion. can you help? | 04:17 |
| nickrud | sagredo, add a line to your .bashrc , for example alias ac='/usr/bin/apt-cache' When you log in, the alias will automatically be there | 04:17 |
| sagredo | nickrud: will I be able to use it instantly? | 04:17 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: with sudo apt-get install samba | 04:17 |
| WebcamWonder | Chaorain: Compiz specific stuff, nope? I don't even run it. Plain old metacity for me :) | 04:17 |
| Cody | How do you obtain privlidges to extract files to /lib/firmware/ ? | 04:17 |
| WebcamWonder | !samba | 04:17 |
| 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. | 04:17 |
| WebcamWonder | Cody: sudo | 04:17 |
| Cody | I do not know how to extract files through the terminal. | 04:18 |
| Quicken2k | need to re-enabled gnome service | 04:18 |
| nickrud | sagredo, no. but, if you type source ~/.bashrc , your shell will re-read the file and then you'll have access | 04:18 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: and it should be installing the samba packages correct? | 04:18 |
| george | anyone running Ububtu on a presario laptop?? | 04:18 |
| WebcamWonder | george: Yes | 04:18 |
| sagredo | nickrud: thanks | 04:18 |
| george | does achilles work? | 04:19 |
| DSSA1 | ziroday: Yessir..it's loading now | 04:19 |
| DSSA1 | I'm sliding across the room to so this | 04:19 |
| WebcamWonder | george: And what is "achilles"? | 04:19 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: great, tell me if anything pops up | 04:19 |
| slusken | hmm my powermizer wont go beyond performance level 1 using ubuntu 8.10 and Nvidia 9600M GT with 177.82 drivers | 04:19 |
| DSSA1 | Do you mind giving me one second? I'll load MIRC on the Ubuntu box instead of going back and forth across the room. | 04:19 |
| george | achilles is game of evolution graphically | 04:19 |
| corywaltzer | after I added the lines it says I cant save because I dont have permissions | 04:20 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: sure, but its not mirc you want. Start pidgin instant messenger instead | 04:20 |
| WebcamWonder | george: A game should not be dependent on your motherboard. it shpould be dependent on your hardware/drivers/kernel | 04:20 |
| WebcamWonder | ziroday: irssi, xchat :) | 04:20 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: its in Applications > Internet > Pidgin Instant Messenger | 04:20 |
| Cody | WebcamWonder: Can you tell me how to extract filed from the terminal> | 04:20 |
| arron | motherboard is hardware | 04:20 |
| WebcamWonder | corywaltzer: You have to edit that file with gksu previledges | 04:21 |
| ziroday | WebcamWonder: new user, trying to take it easy :) | 04:21 |
| Chaorain | WebcamWonder: thanks anyway. I really want good graphics | 04:21 |
| slusken | will give cake for help <3 | 04:21 |
| george | achilles is only 2 colours and is un understandable according to the website explanation | 04:21 |
| WebcamWonder | arron: Arghh... sorry, meant video card, not hardware | 04:21 |
| corywaltzer | WebcamWonder: how do I do that? sorry for being ignorant | 04:21 |
| russia213 | redvamp128: I did that tutorial, but unfortunately for some reason the Grub that was installed through that tutorial doesn't see my external | 04:21 |
| WebcamWonder | corywaltzer: Alt+F2, a run dialog should come up, type in: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:22 |
| sagredo | nickrud: it returned ' error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'; is there another command to "run" a file, like a shell script or executable? | 04:22 |
| redvamp128 | russia213: it was worth a try-- though I don't know quite why -- grub is not seeing the external-- or installing-- | 04:22 |
| Cody | Can anyone tell me how to extract files using the terminal? | 04:22 |
| WebcamWonder | ziroday: Oh, I get it. Don't worry, now that he has seen the light, he will be compiling his own vanilla kernel within 2 weeks :P :) | 04:22 |
| DSSA2 | ziroday: Got it | 04:22 |
| DSSA2 | Thanks! | 04:22 |
| george | ok webcam..seems video is not cooperating with the program | 04:22 |
| nickrud | sagredo, I'm not sure what you did there. what command gave that error? | 04:22 |
| ziroday | DSSA2: awesome, samba finished installing? | 04:23 |
| DSSA2 | back at my server command line. says " Starting Samba daemons" | 04:23 |
| ziroday | DSSA2: thats fine | 04:23 |
| WebcamWonder | Cody: You can do it using the, tar command, I forogt the exact params, let me chek | 04:23 |
| russia213 | redvamp128: the grub from that tutorial works just fine at the prompt it'll boot Windows easily, but once it searches for an OS to boot it only sees XP | 04:23 |
| Cody | Its not a .tar | 04:24 |
| corywaltzer | WebcamWonder: this is what I get when I do that.....Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file | 04:24 |
| redvamp128 | well if we knew-- the location of the usb device-- then we can add that to its grub | 04:24 |
| ziroday | corywaltzer: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 04:24 |
| corywaltzer | 8.10 | 04:24 |
| WebcamWonder | Cody, you can use nautilus directly, extract here on the file, and that should do it | 04:24 |
| redvamp128 | russia213: that last comment was meant for you-- about the location of the usb device and editing the grub on that one | 04:25 |
| ziroday | corywaltzer: okay, try installing the b43-fwcutter package | 04:25 |
| ziroday | corywaltzer: and then reinstalling | 04:25 |
| Jooobaa | Anyone around to help with a ubuntu 8.10 toshiba a70 sound problem? had been running fine for 4 months then after a reboot no sound? | 04:25 |
| Jooobaa | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory | 04:25 |
| redvamp128 | russia213: at least with the wingrub-- it does not overwrite the MBR | 04:25 |
| corywaltzer | ok I'll give it a try...thank you | 04:26 |
| ziroday | corywaltzer: err restarting sorry | 04:26 |
| russia213 | redvamp128: Ubuntu sees it at sdc1 or (hd2,0) but when I tried to root it in the console it said it couldn't find it | 04:26 |
| DSSA2 | ziroday: you mind if I PM you? That way I can keep up with the conversation and just wait until you have time. I see that you're in high-demand. ;-) | 04:27 |
| redvamp128 | russia213: I have to refrerence more about grub configs-- | 04:27 |
| russia213 | redvamp128: ok | 04:27 |
| ziroday | DSSA2: I would actually prefer it if we keep in channel. That way if I give you bad advice (it happens far too often) someone can correct me | 04:27 |
| Chaorain | anyone know how to watch a .nuv file (MythTV recording) that was on an old comp? | 04:27 |
| DSSA1 | Oh, okay | 04:27 |
| austin987 | anyone here ever used ddrescue? I've got it recoverting a 140 GB partition, and now it's on 'Splitting error areas...' trying to get a ETA on completion | 04:28 |
| DSSA1 | I appreciate the help--can't be any worse then what I'd do on my own. | 04:28 |
| DSSA1 | =\ | 04:28 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: anyway, has samba finished installing | 04:28 |
| redvamp128 | russia213: I did find this and am currently reading USB Boot using GRUB <http://64.124.13.3/hacks/USB_Boot_using_GRUB.html> | 04:28 |
| DSSA1 | yessir | 04:28 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: awesome, now you need to edit the config file in /etc/samba/smb.conf | 04:28 |
| giaco | hello! | 04:29 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: that is where you can define that shares | 04:29 |
| giaco | where's the xinitrc of ubuntu? | 04:29 |
| Jooobaa | Anyone around to help with a ubuntu 8.10 toshiba a70 sound problem? had been running fine for 4 months then after a reboot no sound? | 04:29 |
| Jooobaa | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory | 04:29 |
| ziroday | DSSA1: you can edit it with gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf | 04:29 |
| DSSA2 | says "permission denied" | 04:30 |
| ziroday | DSSA2: you need the gksu infront | 04:30 |
| DSSA2 | A big screen full of text popped up when I entered that | 04:30 |
| ziroday | DSSA2: thats fine, thats the config file. Its where you configure the program | 04:31 |
| ziroday | DSSA2: now what folders did you want to share and to who? | 04:31 |
| sagredo | nickrud: alias songbird='/home/sagredo/Songbird/songbird-bin' | 04:31 |
| DSSA2 | ziroday: Sorry....I didn't set up any folders yet to share. I just loaded the program a little bit ago | 04:32 |
| DSSA2 | should I import them off of the network and put them in a folder now? | 04:32 |
| brettley_laptop | doods i need sereous help! i cant get grub to load ubuntu! ive tried 2 times, do i have to install it over the windows bootloader?! | 04:32 |
| ziroday | DSSA2: one sec. How many shares do you plan to create? | 04:32 |
| nickrud | sagredo, but if you do cd /home/sagredoSongbird && ./songbird-bin, it runs? | 04:33 |
| DSSA2 | Just one folder that everyone can access for now. 3 XP terminals on a network | 04:33 |
| nickrud | sagredo, with the right cd dir, of course | 04:33 |
| DSSA2 | Only have two three other users besides myself which I trust to access everything | 04:33 |
| Anacranom | !grub | brettley_laptop | 04:33 |

| wolter | how do i get the new version of gnome-do with docky? | 04:33 |
| DSSA2 | two three = three, sorry | 04:33 |
| ziroday | DSSA2: okay, and you want the users to have to use a password? | 04:33 |
| DSSA2 | That's not even neccesary at this point | 04:34 |
| nickrud | wolter, try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic, some of them were talking about docky there earlier | 04:34 |
| DSSA2 | just so they can access the files | 04:34 |
| redvamp128 | russia213: i have found something | 04:34 |
| DSSA2 | Basically, they'll just access the quickbooks file from this terminal and be able to save files here | 04:34 |
| ziroday | DSSA2: okay, and will they be able to write to the folder, or just read them? | 04:34 |
| DSSA2 | Read/Write | 04:35 |
| ziroday | DSSA2: okay so write as well | 04:35 |
| DSSA2 | yes | 04:35 |
| ziroday | DSSA2: right. well copy the files from your current network server and onto your ubuntu server | 04:35 |
| redvamp128 | russia213: have look around the booting via grub-- possibly add it to the grub wingrub created ... BootFromUSB - Community Ubuntu Documentation <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB> | 04:35 |
| DSSA2 | Can I just put them in a new folder on the desktop for now for sake of ease? | 04:35 |
| ziroday | DSSA2: thats fube | 04:36 |

| jj_galvez | stupid question I home someone can explain, I have a python file written in dos, so I added #!/usr/bin/env python to the top and made it executable, but I get an error : No such file or directory, but the file will run if I simply do python <file> | 05:03 |
| wassy121 | Brando753: Depends on what you want to "save". There is a process called FAI (fully automated install), which is debian-based. That will install a specific set of packages. But, it is a bunch of work just for 2-3 machines. | 05:03 |
| Anacranom | wemdowemd, look in /media, if not there then its not recognizing, try sudo lsusb | 05:04 |
| brettley_laptop | Anacranom: big problem | 05:04 |
| wassy121 | jj_galvez: the file is in dos format, and the top line looks like "#!/usr/bin/env python<CR><LF>" The CR/LF is what is messing things up. Run 'dos2unix' on the file, reset the perms to 755, and try again. | 05:04 |
| jj_galvez | wassy121: thanks for the info I'll do that | 05:05 |
| wassy121 | CR = Carriage Return, LF = Line Feed. This is the windows version of \n (Newline). The bash shell doesn't interpret it properly. | 05:05 |
| jj_galvez | wassy121: Oh I get it thanks | 05:06 |

| PC_Nerd | after editing /etc/bash.bashrc my normal users have access to the modified PATH variable. however sudo does not any suggestions on getting sudo to inherit from that /etc/bash.bashrc ? | 05:59 |
| dr_Willis | PC_Nerd, are you using sudo -s or sudo -i ? or what exactly? | 05:59 |
| Bacta | Thank you mam :) | 05:59 |
| PC_Nerd | sudo mysql | 05:59 |
| jrib | PC_Nerd: read 'man sudo' and 'man sudoers' | 05:59 |
| PC_Nerd | that is the command | 05:59 |
| PC_Nerd | ok | 05:59 |
| dr_Willis | PC_Nerd, that may becase the mysql user has no .bashrc or .bash_profile - thus those files never read the system wide /etc/bash.bashrc | 06:00 |
| jrib | PC_Nerd: why would you want to run 'sudo mysql' anyway? | 06:00 |
| PC_Nerd | as in mysql is the commadn | 06:00 |
| PC_Nerd | i need to run it as root. | 06:00 |
| jrib | PC_Nerd: mysql is in the repositories. Is that what you are using? | 06:01 |
| dr_Willis | isent the right way to start mysql 'sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start' or similer? | 06:01 |
| PC_Nerd | * sry, its actually sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_secure_installation | 06:01 |
| PC_Nerd | * compield it from source. | 06:01 |
| rww | PC_Nerd: why aren't you using the repository version? | 06:01 |
| jrib | PC_Nerd: ok, but it's in the repositories. Why not use that? | 06:01 |
| PC_Nerd | initially there was a configuration with apache that needed to compile mysql from source to get its driver in a specific format..... which is why I have it as source... but back to the sudo path? | 06:02 |
| === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys | ||

| cn28h | skeebo, consider what happens when writing a large file and there isn't a large enough chunk of contiguous space to store it | 06:18 |
| scunizi | skeebo: it's also not journaled.. so if you unplug without unmounting it there is the possibility of loosing data | 06:18 |
| cn28h | it also doesn't support holes, which is annoying | 06:18 |
| skeebo | cn28h: yes that makes sense, didn't think about it that way. scunizi: thankyou for the info | 06:19 |

| dr_Willis | brettley_laptop sudo ntf-3g /dev/sda1 /media/whatever -o force Or similer.. check the ntfs-3g man page/guides for other options you may want to use | 06:41 |
| cn28h | but be warned, a bad xorg.conf will cause X not to load | 06:41 |
| Guest59713 | I downloaded a song on limewire and I just tried to play it and i don't hear anything out of my speakers. what should i do? | 06:42 |
| dr_Willis | brettley_laptop, BEST thing to do wqoule be to reboot to windows or some how have windows 'check' the drive and shut down properly | 06:42 |
| cn28h | Guest59713, unmute your audio | 06:42 |
| brettley_laptop | dr_Willis: the thing is, windows wont start | 06:42 |
| Guest59713 | but it isn't muted | 06:42 |
| dr_Willis | brettley_laptop, yep. Been there, done that.. had to recover stuff via linux.. and reinstall windows | 06:42 |
| brettley_laptop | dr_Willis: i screwed up the bootloader =) | 06:42 |
| dr_Willis | brettley_laptop, bootloader should be easy to fix. depending on the windows version | 06:42 |
| Out_Cold | Guest59713, how did you try to play the file? | 06:42 |
| Mood | help! i tried installing openvpn, now my ubuntu fails to boot :-( gets stuck at Now Configuring Network Interfaces... | 06:42 |
| niko | wait, i see something in the Xorg abooooooout VESA | 06:43 |
| Mood | my ubuntu cannot boot!! | 06:43 |
| Guest59713 | i played it from within limewire | 06:43 |
| cn28h | Mood, try cleaning up /etc/init.d | 06:43 |
| bullgard4 | In help.ubuntu.com I cannot find help for the GNOME > System > Preferences > Network Proxy. Did I overlook it, or can you advise me a help for this 'Network Proxy Preferences' window? | 06:43 |
| brettley_laptop | dr_Willis: sudo: ntf-3g: cpmmand not found | 06:44 |
| Out_Cold | Guest59713, limewire is a bit different on linux, try launching the file then playing it. or try to open the file using VLC or mplayer | 06:44 |
| dr_Willis | brettley_laptop sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/whatever -o force Or similer.. check the ntfs-3g man page/guides for other options you may want to use | 06:44 |
| * dr_Willis hits his keyboard | 06:44 | |
| Mood | cn28h, what do you mean "cleaning"? | 06:44 |
| Guest59713 | ok i'll try | 06:44 |
| cn28h | Mood, remove any scripts that openvpn put there | 06:44 |
| Mood | cn28h, i have the ubuntu CD booted, but i cannot get access to the hard drive | 06:44 |
| blueraven | can anyone remember the default login name for ubuntu? | 06:44 |
| dr_Willis | blueraven, you mean on the live cd? | 06:44 |
| cn28h | Mood, you should still be able to mount it | 06:44 |
| scunizi | blueraven: for the live cd? there isn't one | 06:44 |
| Out_Cold | blueraven, it's what ever you set the default to | 06:44 |
| brettley_laptop | what would the mountpoint be? | 06:44 |
| blueraven | yes | 06:44 |
| cn28h | Mood, look in /media, it may have even auto mounted | 06:45 |
| blueraven | there was one already chosen | 06:45 |
| dr_Willis | brettley_laptop, whatever you want it to be.. MAKE the directorry first | 06:45 |
| Mood | cn28h, it's not automounted :-( i have all my notes on my hard drvive | 06:45 |
| Mood | drive* | 06:45 |
| blueraven | this was super ubuntu | 06:45 |
| cn28h | Mood, well, mount it manually ? | 06:45 |
| blueraven | and this was installed through windows | 06:45 |
| blueraven | there was a username already chosen | 06:45 |
| dr_Willis | blueraven, look in /home and see what user exists | 06:46 |
| cn28h | Mood, sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdX /media/sdX | 06:46 |
| blueraven | k I'll try that | 06:46 |
| cn28h | where X is the drive/partition, like sda1 for example | 06:46 |
| Mood | cn28h, what is sdX? | 06:46 |
| scunizi | blueraven: super ubuntu? a modified version of "the real thing?" | 06:46 |
| Mood | cn28h, just generic storage device X, your shorthand? | 06:46 |
| blueraven | where is /home? | 06:47 |
| cn28h | Mood, yes, since I don't actually know the partition layout of your box | 06:47 |
| brettley_laptop | dr_Willis: you are a lifesaver man | 06:47 |
| Mood | cn28h, (sorry all my mounting notes are on the harddrive so please forgive the noob questions). how do i find the name of my partition and/or harddrive? | 06:47 |
| bobblybook | can anyone help me with enabling wireless via hardware button? | 06:47 |
| blueraven | scunizi: super ubuntu is the real thing, it just comes with the most popular apps people usually install | 06:47 |
| cn28h | Mood, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sd? and pastebin the results | 06:48 |
| Out_Cold | super ubuntu = bloated | 06:48 |
| Guest59713 | it isn't working in vlc either. what do i do? | 06:48 |
| aixenv | so whats the word on 8.10? | 06:48 |
| Out_Cold | Guest59713, open a terminal and run alsamixer | 06:49 |
| blueraven | anyone know how I access /home from vista? | 06:49 |
| bullgard4 | bobblybook: Press the hardware button. Then dmesg | tail > dmesg.log20090207. Then Nopaste this log. | 06:49 |
| blueraven | it's not listed on the hd | 06:49 |
| cn28h | blueraven, you don't | 06:49 |
| Guest59713 | i typed that in. now what do i do? | 06:49 |
| blueraven | ok, how do I access it without being able to login to ubuntu | 06:50 |
| cn28h | blueraven, boot a livecd and mount it | 06:50 |
| goodmami | blueraven, you need to get an ext2 driver for windows | 06:50 |
| Mood | cn28h, http://paste.ubuntu.com/115061/ | 06:50 |
| goodmami | (assuming /home is ext2 or ext3) | 06:50 |
| Guest59713 | ? | 06:51 |
| Mood | cn28h, i'm guessing /dev/sda2 is my hard drive | 06:51 |
| mikeshollen | Hey, would someone be willing to help me get my Mic working? | 06:51 |
| Out_Cold | Guest59713, look for something that has a low volume or MM | 06:51 |
| skeebo | cd / | 06:51 |
| skeebo | whoops my bad | 06:52 |
| cn28h | Mood, /dev/sda is your hard drive, you probably want /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda6.. /dev/sda2 is an extended partition entry that is used to store the extended partitions | 06:52 |
| Guest59713 | the volume is at 100 for master | 06:52 |
| Out_Cold | Guest59713, is that the only bar? | 06:52 |
| Mood | cn28h, i think it's sda6 then | 06:52 |
| Guest59713 | yes, that is the only bar when i type alsamixer | 06:52 |
| cn28h | Mood, okay, so sudo mkdir /media/sda6 && sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda6 /media/sda6 | 06:52 |
| Out_Cold | you could try kmix but it may not be installed.. | 06:53 |
| Out_Cold | * Guest59713 | 06:53 |
| cn28h | assuming you used ext3 | 06:53 |
| Mood | cn28h, it worked! | 06:53 |
| cn28h | Guest59713, you're probably uswing pulseaudio, try alsamixer -c 0 | 06:54 |
| Flynsarmy | I installed seamonkey-composer. how do i run it? | 06:55 |
| Guest59713 | i just downloaded and installed kmix but i can't find where to open it | 06:55 |
| mikeshollen | Can anyone help me get my mic working? | 06:55 |
| Out_Cold | mikeshollen, try alsamixer -c 0 | 06:55 |
| goodmami | blueraven, this might be useful http://www.howtoforge.com/access-linux-partitions-from-windows | 06:55 |
| mikeshollen | Out_Cold: Is that a Terminal Command? | 06:56 |
| Guest59713 | that doesn't work either :( i have the volume turned up for all of them | 06:56 |
| Out_Cold | yes mikeshollen | 06:56 |
| cn28h | Guest59713, press m also and make sure they are not marked mute | 06:56 |
| mikeshollen | Out_Cold: says bash: alasmixer: command not found | 06:56 |
| quibbler | Guest59713: have you tried playing another music file? maybe the download is just no good, | 06:56 |
| Out_Cold | Guest59713, the ones that are blank with MM try pressing the M key | 06:57 |
| cn28h | mikeshollen, spelling it correctly helps | 06:57 |
| Out_Cold | alsamixer | 06:57 |
| Mood | cn28h, my installation of "openvpn" screwed things up (i think). do you think it's safe to delete from /etc/init.d? i'm trying to remove it from my system | 06:57 |
| Guest59713 | no i haven't tried more than one. i will attempt that now along with pressing m | 06:57 |
| Guest59713 | m didn't help | 06:57 |
| cn28h | Mood, no, you can't delete the whole thing, that's a terrible idea ;P but you should look there and see if you find anything obviously added by it and remove it (or move it to a location where it won't run until you can isolate it) | 06:57 |
| bullgard4 | In help.ubuntu.com I cannot find help for the GNOME > System > Preferences > Network Proxy. Did I overlook it, or can you advise me a help for this 'Network Proxy Preferences' window? | 06:58 |
| Out_Cold | Guest59713, keep pressing the right arrow key... | 06:58 |
| Mood | cn28h, or instead of "rm openvpn" do you recommend me doing a sudo apt-remove? | 06:58 |
| Out_Cold | Guest59713, go as far as you can.. and look for an input | 06:58 |
| mikeshollen | Out_Cold: Man I'm a jerk. Ok, command done, the Mic bar has no coloring in it | 06:58 |
| cn28h | Mood, if you installed it using apt then yes, use apt to remove it | 06:58 |
| cn28h | Mood, you will need to chroot into your install and do it, though | 06:58 |
| Out_Cold | mikeshollen, does it say MM below it? | 06:58 |
| === Superman is now known as theeb | ||
| mikeshollen | yes | 06:58 |
| Out_Cold | mikeshollen, so unmute it with M | 06:59 |
| Guest59713 | i did that already :( everything is turned up. i am currently downloading another audio file | 06:59 |
| Out_Cold | press the M key | 06:59 |
| Mood | cn28h, i can't just sudo? | 06:59 |
| bryant_ | Oh, MP3 blaster is HAWT STUFF | 06:59 |
| cn28h | Mood, if you just do it from the livecd you'll be running it on the livecd, not on your install | 06:59 |
| * bryant_ makes love to console applications | 06:59 | |
| mrglinux | i connected to vpn server but no website opened ? what's wrong my vpn server is pptpd | 06:59 |
| goodmami | Guest59713, in some setups (eg mine) a single app can commandeer the sound output... if you have firefox running, or any other app that can use sound, try closing them. | 06:59 |
| === bryant_ is now known as Roken | ||
| Flynsarmy | I installed seamonkey-composer. how do i run it? | 06:59 |
| Mood | cn28h, oh-- that's a problem... i cannot get the harddrive to boot | 06:59 |
| cn28h | Mood, what all is in /media/sda6? | 06:59 |
| cn28h | Mood, yes, this is why you need chroot | 06:59 |
| aixenv | whats the best gui app to manage mounting remove network samba fs's? | 07:00 |
| Out_Cold | Guest59713, check to make sure that your speakers are correctly plugged in and powered on | 07:00 |
| Mood | cn28h, not sure what you mean. chroot from the liveCD? | 07:00 |
| cn28h | Mood, yes | 07:00 |
| PC_Nerd | Hi, I have a partition that is always mounted to /data. How can I get it to appear in the Places menu alongside Home and Documents and Photos etc? | 07:00 |
| goodmami | Guest59713, then try playing the file. sometimes you'll actually forcefully kill a process (like flash), or restart the machine. | 07:00 |
| Guest59713 | they are powered on and connected properly. i have been using them for months and i haven't moved wires around or anything. | 07:00 |
| goodmami | Guest59713, of course, this might not be your problem at all... just a guess. | 07:00 |
| Mood | cn28h, ok, let me google chroot | 07:00 |
| Out_Cold | Guest59713, have you installed gstreamer pluggins? | 07:01 |
| mikeshollen | Out_Cold: Ok, it is unmuted and the input is all the way up in the red. Still not getting anything from sound recorder. I have the record from input set to Microphone and I tried all 4 of the Record as options. | 07:01 |

| cn28h | Mood, k, I might be not watching the channel, you can pm me if you want | 07:02 |
| Mood | cn28h, ok. thanks for all your suggestions by the way -- the last resort for me may be to reformat (eek!!!) | 07:02 |
| cn28h | np | 07:02 |
| cn28h | chroot should work though ;P | 07:02 |
| Out_Cold | Guest59713, search in the synaptic package manager for gstreamer-plugin you want one from the good, bad and ugly installed | 07:02 |
| cn28h | if you get stuck I can tell you the commands | 07:02 |
| Mood | cn28h, can i pm you? | 07:03 |
| Guest59713 | i am doing that now | 07:03 |
| cn28h | yeah, go for it | 07:03 |
| Out_Cold | and sorry mikeshollen i'm at a loss from there.. | 07:03 |
| mikeshollen | Out_Cold; thanks for getting me this far bro | 07:03 |
| Guest59713 | they are now downloading | 07:04 |
| Out_Cold | mikeshollen, it's a desktop or laptop? | 07:04 |
| mikeshollen | laptop | 07:04 |
| mikeshollen | built in mic | 07:04 |
| Guest59713 | they are installed. now what should i do? | 07:05 |
| Out_Cold | and you are using the built in?? you might wanna try using kmix also... it has more options than alsamixer.. | 07:05 |
| mikeshollen | Out_Cold: I am using the built in, too poor to afford a good headset atm. How can I activate kmix | 07:06 |
| Out_Cold | kmix has been the best gui i've found and it's in the repos i think... try sudo apt-get install kmix | 07:06 |

| rww | bullgard4: I'm assuming you tried the "Help" button in the bottom-left corner of the window already? | 07:11 |
| rww | Dat1: Open the file /etc/apt/sources.list and copy its contents to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, then say the link to the page it creates in here, please. | 07:11 |
| Dat1 | rww, thanks, one sec | 07:12 |
| bullgard4 | rww: Pressing the 'Help' button tells me in my native language: "File could not be analyzed. No valid XML document." | 07:12 |
| Dat1 | rww, here is the paste : http://paste.ubuntu.com/115062/ | 07:13 |

| skeebo | lain_wired: sorry then, i'm not sure | 07:16 |
| Out_Cold | mikeshollen, alsa should be ok | 07:16 |
| Out_Cold | oops | 07:17 |
| Out_Cold | no sorry mate | 07:17 |
| lain_wired | skeebo: unless unetbootin had another name? | 07:17 |
| Dat1 | rww: it worked. I guess I should have tried that first. What did the reload do if you don't mind me asking?(besides the obvious) | 07:18 |
| vince778 | Hi, someone save me. | 07:18 |
| Dat1 | rww: or was it just the obvious; reloading the list? | 07:19 |
| rww | Dat1: The package manager keeps a list of all the packages available on the server on the computer. It looks like the list on the computer was too old, and references old packages that weren't on the server any more. Hitting reload fixes that. | 07:19 |
| rww | referenced ** | 07:19 |
| rww | Dat1: On an unrelated note, it looks like you have Ubuntu's security repositories disabled. You might want to consider going to System > Administration > Software Sources, clicking the "Updates" tab and checking the boxes for security and recommended updates. | 07:19 |
| vince778 | theres this process events/0 thats eating the whole of my cpu, and VirtualBox is crawling. Ubuntu 8.10 P4 3.2 1gigram | 07:19 |
| rww | Dat1: that doesn't have anything to do with the problem you were having, but is a good idea :) | 07:19 |

| IndyGunFreak | vince778: did you try killing it" | 07:19 |

| aarm | i can't get sound to play out of the mini jack only plays on the pc speaker | 07:33 |
| cn28h | Mood, hm, it locks up when it says starting network? | 07:33 |
| highlevelcode | yes I can .. | 07:33 |
| GSF1200S | so the cli boots, you just cant use apt? | 07:34 |
| highlevelcode | .. currently I think its attempting to re install or install gnome | 07:34 |
| Mood | cn28h, it fails in several places, but first in Configuring Network Interfaces... it hangs for about 10 minutes and then fails with the message "Error connecting to socket" | 07:34 |
| GSF1200S | so whats the issue.. apt? | 07:34 |
| GSF1200S | sorry, i must be dumb right now.. not following | 07:34 |
| highlevelcode | what is apt? | 07:35 |
| highlevelcode | the package manager? | 07:35 |
| GSF1200S | yes | 07:35 |
| cn28h | Mood, ok, mount your partition again and post /var/log/messages from it on a pastebin | 07:35 |
| achilles | hello, I set the system clock using hwclock, but web applications like sugarCRM still not adjusted, is there specific apache config ? | 07:35 |
| GSF1200S | so what fails exactly? | 07:35 |
| Mood | cn28h, ok | 07:35 |
| GSF1200S | what does it say when you do "sudo apt-get install gnome" etc.. | 07:35 |
| highlevelcode | sorry | 07:35 |
| highlevelcode | I was able to reinstall it I think. | 07:36 |
| cn28h | Mood, and /var/log/dmesg | 07:36 |
| highlevelcode | it did not show up on the installed packages, so I just told it to install. | 07:36 |
| Mood | cn28h, ok | 07:36 |
| highlevelcode | how do I invoke it now? | 07:36 |
| GSF1200S | you mean start gnome? | 07:36 |
| highlevelcode | yep | 07:36 |
| GSF1200S | right? | 07:36 |
| highlevelcode | yes | 07:36 |
| highlevelcode | gee nome | 07:36 |
| GSF1200S | did you install gdm or just gnome itself? | 07:36 |
| highlevelcode | I think only gnome | 07:37 |
| GSF1200S | try startx and see what it says | 07:37 |
| highlevelcode | k brb | 07:37 |
| Mood | cn28h, it was "chroot /media/sda6 /dev/sda6"? | 07:37 |
| anom01y | is it advantagous to upgrade from 8.04 or 8.10 ? | 07:37 |
| youyi | ęä¹ęÆꬔčæå „ēé½ęÆēŗÆč±ęē | 07:38 |

| Mood | cn28h, i mounted the drives, but i forget the chroot command | 07:38 |
| highlevelcode | but | 07:38 |
| cn28h | Mood, you don't really need to chroot for this | 07:38 |
| Mood | cn28h, oh ok | 07:38 |
| cn28h | Mood, just post /media/sda6/var/dmesg | 07:38 |
| highlevelcode | the message: exec: 5: /usr/bin/X11/X not found | 07:38 |
| cn28h | well /var/log/dmesg | 07:38 |
| cn28h | but you get what I mean | 07:38 |
| GSF1200S | ohh.. you need to install xserver as well | 07:38 |
| GSF1200S | so | 07:39 |
| GSF1200S | do this | 07:39 |
| GSF1200S | sudo apt-get update | 07:39 |
| highlevelcode | k | 07:39 |
| GSF1200S | sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg | 07:39 |
| GSF1200S | gnome runs on top of the X window system, the predecessor of the W window system | 07:40 |
| highlevelcode | okay installing ... | 07:40 |
| GSF1200S | cool.. | 07:40 |

| GSF1200S | what vid card you have? | 07:40 |

| GSF1200S | highlevelcode: need to know what video card you have so we can setup the driver/xorg | 07:41 |

| luciddr34m3r | Flannel: thanks for the newbie tip. i thought i wasnt properly in the group because i couldnt join to the NT domain i've been building. it must be my smb.conf, but at least i have the group thing figured out now. thanks again. | 07:44 |

| The_Spazzz | I have an old Toshiba Satalight Laptop with a Trident video card. The issue I'm having is that I can only get 800x600 Screen resolution.

Also I am very unframilar with the way Ubuntu manages the xorg.conf file now | 07:46 |
| PrebenR | I have a 16Gb Corsair GT stick. I formated it to ext3 because I need to transfer an ubuntu.iso image to an offline computer. But after formatting it with ext3 the stick is extremely slow! It is 4 times slower than FAT32 which gives it a speed of regular usb sticks. Is this a fs problem or driver provlem? | 07:46 |

| AbsZero | I've been working on getting this fixed for 3 days or so, with not measure of success. I initially had Windows XP installed on my computer, eventually installing linux a few months later. The GRUB boot loader was fine with this, and I never had any problems whatsoever. I recently decided to install the Windows 7 beta for kicks and giggles. I repartitioned my hard-drive by "stealing" some of the free space from the larger of my 2 Windows p | 07:46 |

| blueraven | I forgot my username for logging in to ubuntu | 07:48 |
| The_Spazzz | durt : Ok, How would I force it to use that driver though? Im used to doing it in the xorg.conf but it looks totaly different now | 07:48 |
| blueraven | how do I find out what it is? | 07:48 |
| olethri0s | Or is it easier than that... or is it just that? And if it is that, is there a specific section that I need to add it into? | 07:48 |
| rww | blueraven: If you're booting from the LiveCD, /home/ contains the LiveCD's users, not your hard-disk Ubuntu's users. You'll want to mount your Ubuntu partition and look in its home directory instead. | 07:48 |
| Adnan | light went off!!!!! | 07:48 |
| aarm_ | is this forum just totally flooded or am I being ignored? | 07:49 |
| Flannel | blueraven: Ah. You're on the liveCD, you need to view the mounted partition and then it'll just be in /path/to/mount/home/ | 07:49 |
| durt | The_Spazzz: xorg.conf works the same way, xorg first tries auto config and then parses xorg.conf | 07:49 |
| blueraven | how do I mount my partition(it's a loop partition) | 07:49 |
| The_Spazzz | durt : Ok.... The thing is i'm used to EDITING the xorg config but not writing one from scratch | 07:50 |

Yours will probably be near the bottom of the output. | 08:04 |

| vish | ziroday, Can you point me to some drivers for it? Is it in the repos? | 08:16 |
| norman_ | hi ziroday | 08:16 |
| ziroday | vish: they are already installed | 08:16 |
| Flannel | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#Quick%20Start Follow that. Ask if you have questions. | 08:16 |
| risha | ziroday actually my ubuntu hangs so i use to start in single mode | 08:16 |
| vish | ziroday, then what to do? | 08:16 |
| brunner | folks, I have two applications complaining that they can't listen on port 5060, but netstat -a | grep 5060 shows no output! | 08:16 |
| ziroday | vish: make sure they are loading | 08:17 |
| vish | ziroday, how? | 08:17 |
| toader | Flannel: can I delete all the files in /var/log ? | 08:17 |
| bryant | Brunner, what applications? | 08:17 |
| ziroday | vish: by looking in xorg.0.log :) | 08:17 |
| brunner | bryant: ekiga and twinkle | 08:17 |
| Flannel | toader: It won't break anything (don't delete the folders, but you can delete the stuff in the folders). | 08:17 |
| ziroday | risha: ah. Well do you know where it hangs at? | 08:17 |
| bryant | Brunner, are you behind a router? | 08:17 |
| dayo_ | toader: why would u want to delete them? | 08:18 |
| russia213 | Flannel: I am looking at that page, but I can't exactly follow perfectly when the first steps provide me with errors | 08:18 |
| Flannel | russia213: What step are you doing that gives you an error? | 08:18 |
| brunner | bryant: yes, but I would think my local box could still listen on the unused port, unless it's talking about my router | 08:18 |
| bryant | Brunner, also, if both applications are trying to use the same port on the same commputer, it can't be done | 08:18 |
| vish | ziroday, specifically, what entry should I enter in Xorg.conf to make it discover my hardware(for 845) | 08:18 |
| toader | dayo_: I have no space left on my root filesystem | 08:18 |
| brunner | bryant: I'm only trying to run one at a time | 08:18 |
| russia213 | Flannel: Step 4 | 08:18 |
| brunner | bryant: so you think it's trying to configure my router and failing? | 08:19 |
| Flannel | russia213: Ok, and which command did you just type that gives you an error? | 08:19 |
| dayo_ | toader: let me give u a script that i use to run a weekly cron that deletes backups of files in /var/log | 08:19 |
| bryant | brunner, try to open up the port on your router and try again. Depending on the router, it may lock down all ports but the well known ports | 08:19 |
| ziroday | vish: something like Section Device Drive intel End Section | 08:19 |
| risha | ziroday is there any command to restore it or using live CD | 08:19 |
| bryant | brunner, no, its not trying to configure your router. You have to do that yourself | 08:19 |
| russia213 | Flannel: find /boot/grub/stage1 and find /grub/stage1 | 08:19 |
| vish | ziroday, thanks, any reference I can read up? | 08:19 |
| ziroday | vish: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/ | 08:20 |
| brunner | bryant: then why is it complaining that it can't listen on a UDP port? you're saying it's testing it, then? | 08:20 |
| ziroday | vish: or more like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 08:20 |
| ziroday | risha: not that I know of. You can do a reinstall | 08:21 |
| toader | dayo_: ok, thanks | 08:21 |
| Flannel | russia213: What errors do they give? | 08:21 |
| vish | ziroday, Thanks a lot. | 08:21 |
| bryant | brunner, UDP or TCP doesn't matter. If you're port 5060 is closed on your router, your packets arn't going anywhere | 08:21 |
| russia213 | Flannel: error 15 file not founf, and yes I am in grub | 08:21 |
| dayo_ | toader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115082/ | 08:22 |
| Flannel | russia213: Your second harddrive is connected, correct? And we know it works? Can you browse its files in the liveCD? | 08:22 |
| dayo_ | toader: basically, run a weekly cron that deletes just the backups. | 08:22 |
| russia213 | Flannel: Yes | 08:22 |
| dayo_ | toader: things like /var/log/debug.0 /var/log/syslog.1.gz and so on | 08:24 |
| Flannel | russia213: Alright, and in that folder (the harddrive) do you see a /grub/ folder (likely inside of /boot/) | 08:24 |
| russia213 | Flannel: No | 08:24 |
| Flannel | russia213: How did you install Ubuntu? | 08:25 |
| dayo_ | toader: on my firewall, it is /var/log/squid/access.log that takes up a lot of MBs worth of space, and so I run a weekly delete. but recently there has arisen the need to have more than a week's worth of internet logs, and so i'm probably going to need to cron it as a weekly scp to the backup server or somewhere such. | 08:25 |
| bryant | Flannel, I think she got it pre-installed | 08:25 |
| russia213 | Flannel: Off of the Live CD? | 08:25 |
| Flannel | russia213: The liveCD? Or the alternate CD? | 08:25 |
| russia213 | Flannel: Live | 08:26 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | hehe | 08:27 |
| Flannel | russia213: this doesn't make sense. It's not possible to use anything other than GRUB with the liveCD. Did you give yourself a separate /boot partition by any chance? What are the contents of the /boot folder on that harddrive? | 08:27 |

| vegombrei | i have an issue with f-spot .. is there a image viewer thats a plug in for fspot ? | 08:30 |
| Flannel | russia213: Alright. That doesn't make any sense. But, ok. The easiest thing for you to do is just reinstall. And just have the installer write the bootloader to the MBR. I don't know who told you you needed to reinstall windows before, but that shouldn't need to be done (and in fact, the thing the installer does is what you would be doing with the grub commands anyway) | 08:31 |

| dayo_ | etech: 8.04.2 | 08:32 |
| etech | does openoffice 3 work in hardy? | 08:33 |
| Flannel | russia213: Then you weren't writing the windows bootloader back properly (or you were booting to the other harddrive, which had GRUB) | 08:33 |
| dayo_ | etech: yes OOo3 works on hardy | 08:34 |
| russia213 | Flannel | 08:34 |
| etech | dayo_, ok, should i upgrade with the ppa or the openoffice debs? | 08:34 |
| russia213 | Flannel: I used the fixmbr on the rescue cd of windows and I used it on the primary hard drive | 08:34 |
| dayo_ | etech: our systems admin would know more about that. i usually deal with just the servers and the network. mail him at bigbrovar (at) gmail (dot) com, and tell him dayo from #ubuntu sent u. we're colleagues | 08:35 |

| shepherd | did i get booted? | 09:21 |
| jero | matr they will tell me to join #ubuntu | 09:21 |
| ag90 | jero, I think not. Commercial driver = 3D acceleration. Not sure | 09:21 |
| elky | shepherd, yes, you've been asked to take your smut talk elsewhere | 09:21 |
| Matr|X | no | 09:21 |
| shepherd | elky: where is a good place? | 09:21 |
| Matr|X | jero this the offcial channel for compiz | 09:21 |
| jero | nope, 3d acceleration works since i can play openarena with it | 09:21 |
| elky | shepherd, somewhere other than this irc network | 09:21 |
| bullgard4 | Synaptic writes about ubiquity: "This is a simple live CD installer designed to integrate well with Debian- and Ubuntu-based systems, and to reuse code from d-i for ease of maintenance." What does 'd-i' mean? | 09:21 |

| Matr|X | go ther they will help u im new and i installed compiz and working with me without eny problem wno | 09:22 |
| ag90 | jero, What graphics card are you using ? | 09:22 |
| tonyyarusso | jero: Depends on your graphics chipset. Generally speaking, Intel graphics can do compiz with open source drivers, the new Radeon HD ones often can, while other ATI and NVidia ones require proprietary drivers. | 09:22 |
| Just_Slow | hello, anyone here with Thinkpad x200 or similar? | 09:22 |

| rww | bullgard4: debian-installer | 09:23 |
| Matr|X | brb guys | 09:23 |
| tonyyarusso | bullgard4: debian-installer, the old-style text-mode interface found on the alternate cd | 09:23 |
| jero | i get 3d acceleration out the box without any installs, since openarena runs properly | 09:23 |
| Just_Slow | Matrix, sure that phone is hard as rock.. i remember when i was a kid it was really hard to break lol.. | 09:23 |
| bullgard4 | rww, tonyyarusso Thank you for your help. | 09:23 |
| jero | ag90 - the commercial drivers introduce too many other problems, like crashing on logging into gdm | 09:23 |
| jero | i try to avoid those | 09:24 |

| ag90 | Pirate_Hunter, I hear that theres a chance it will work anyway. Put up the settings on it, restart and try. If it doesnt, get rid of the settings and restart back to dynamic IPs. | 09:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | dr_Willis: what do you mean by goofy, does it crash the machine :s? | 09:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ag90: oh I see so it doesnt keep the settings weird | 09:35 |
| dr_Willis | Pirate_Hunter, not that ive heard. :) | 09:35 |
| ag90 | Pirate_Hunter, not sure. I suggest you try it out. If it breaks, go back to the current settings. | 09:35 |
| ag90 | Pirate_Hunter, though let me assure you, it won't crash the machine :) | 09:36 |
| dr_Willis | yea - that sould be a bit hardcore - if setting to static ip crashed the machine | 09:36 |

| prince_jammys | Bobblybook: ah, ok | 09:38 |
| ag90 | Just_Slow, no no. Go to the terminal. Do "lspci" ( or "sudo lspci" if it gives you an error about permissions ). And check the list for information on your graphics card. | 09:38 |

| === izibi_ is now known as izibi | ||
| ag90 | Just_Slow, sorry no solution yet. But on my old laptop, I had an intel 945gm and an older Ubuntu. The fix for the graphics card was simple in my case. First download the intel driver ( sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel ). Then in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, where it said "Driver i810", just had to change it to intel. Though don't try this out. Might break X. | 09:45 |
| puneeth1 | will i be able to run kde4 smoothly on a p4? | 09:45 |

| magentar | ... but i think ubuntu 8.10 uses a sector size fs-driver can'T cope with | 10:11 |
| rww | highlevelcode: to make a directory on the commandline, use mkdir. Example, mkdir /home/rww/test | 10:11 |
| dr_Willis | magentar, that fs-drver has worked here for me. | 10:12 |
| magentar | did you create the partition during the 8.10 setup? | 10:12 |
| * dr_Willis wishs to tell everyone that tries the fs-driver.org 'driver' for winows - to be VERY carefull with it. | 10:12 | |
| marlo | magentar: yes, ntfs partiton for ubuntu | 10:12 |
| dr_Willis | magentar, yes. if i recall correctly | 10:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | rww: all of LAMP | 10:13 |
| marlo | Error is for disks folder: "Files or directories are corrupted and cant read" | 10:13 |
| marlo | is any way to backup ? | 10:13 |
| rww | Pirate_Hunter: According to http://bit.ly/kcXO , you should run: sudo tasksel install lamp-server | 10:13 |
| tavi | well? | 10:13 |
| magentar | mmh | 10:13 |
| tavi | any help? | 10:13 |
| bryant | marlo, it should be a ext3 parition, not ntfs. Thats why Windows thinks its "corrupted" | 10:14 |
| === diego is now known as Guest32151 | ||
| marlo | bryant: hmm, and also I tried with DiskInternals Linux Reader, cannot reach again. | 10:15 |
| magentar | marlo, did you try fs-driver? | 10:15 |
| marlo | magentar: I'll try | 10:16 |
| Pirate_Hunter | rww: saw that but im sure that isn't correct especially since it failled the first time i tried :/ | 10:16 |
| bryant | marlo, I wish I could help you futher, but the most I can say is boot into the live CD and see if it reads the partition. Maybe mount it and fsck? | 10:16 |
| brettley_laptop | force mount =) | 10:16 |
| marlo | byrant: yes, I have to try with livecd | 10:17 |
| bryant | Marlo, goodluck. | 10:17 |

| brettley_laptop | get the cia | 10:18 |
| marlo | magentar: I cannot use fs-driver, error returns "Service database lock" what is this? | 10:18 |
| marlo | bryant: thx | 10:18 |

| enygmata | im having problems to upgrade to intrepid.. ive set the system to check for normal releases.. it shows the intrepid release but when i try to upgrade the system i get some errors that the updater cant find some packages.. anyone know how to solve it? i have also tried to upgrade from cdrom but i get a authentication error | 10:18 |
| etech | ubuntu 8.04 LTS updated with 8.04.2 KDE to version 3.5.10 | 10:18 |
| etech | is kubuntu 8.04 now LTS or not? | 10:18 |
| etech | with kde3 | 10:18 |
| rww | enygmata: what version of Ubuntu are you using right now? | 10:18 |
| enygmata | i instaled ubuntu 8.04 but now its 8.04.2.. but ididnt choose to upgrade to it | 10:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | rww: yup it said taskl apptitude: failed (at least on those lines) | 10:19 |
| brettley_laptop | why can i never get my computer to boot ubuntu?! | 10:19 |
| bryant | etech, all Kubuntu is is Ubuntu with a KDE Desktop Environment (DE) on it instead of gnome. | 10:19 |
| etech | you maybe already downloaded 8.04.2 | 10:19 |
| brettley_laptop | can someone help me install ubuntu? it jsut doesnt wana install for me no matter what i do | 10:20 |
| etech | bryant, yes, but when i install kubuntu 8.04 with kde3, is it also supported as long as ubuntu 8.04? | 10:20 |
| bryant | Yes, etech | 10:20 |
| marlo | I'll try with livecd , If not successful again, I'll re-install everything, quick question which is the best partition for ubuntu (ext3,ext2 or ntfs) ? | 10:20 |
| bryant | i believe the LTS is 10 years or something like that, no? | 10:20 |
| enygmata | marlo ext3 | 10:21 |
| marlo | I hate damn data loses, I tried before with fat and ntfs, data loss happens | 10:21 |
| rww | enygmata: Ubuntu 8.04.2 is just 8.04 with normal updates. It's not something you choose to upgrade to. Anyway. So you're trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 and you're getting errors. Can you copy and paste those errors to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and copy the link to the newly-created page here? | 10:21 |
| prince_jammys | marlo: the recommended file system is ext3 | 10:21 |
| etech | not 10 years o.O | 10:21 |
| marlo | thank you | 10:21 |
| rww | bryant: 3 years on the desktop, 5 on the server | 10:21 |
| brettley_laptop | can someone help out with ubuntu instalation? i have literaly installed it over 10 times and grub just wont load it! | 10:21 |
| chibiace | brettley_laptop: why cant you install? | 10:21 |
| etech | so kubuntu 8.04 with kde3 is supported to 2010? | 10:21 |
| bryant | >.> So much for my Ubuntu class. I remember that question... lol | 10:21 |
| marlo | good day to all, I'm gonna work :D bb | 10:21 |
| brettley_laptop | chibiace: i cant get it to boot no matter what i do | 10:21 |
| etech | or is kubuntu 8.04 with kde3 supported to 2011? | 10:22 |
| chibiace | brettley_laptop: duel booting with or just the one install? | 10:22 |
| bryant | brettley, how far are you getting into the install? | 10:22 |
| rww | etech: Was Kubuntu 8.10 an LTS? I thought only Ubuntu 8.10 was. | 10:23 |
| brettley_laptop | im getting the install, not a dualboot, and once it installs im getting a bios message saying "no opperating system" | 10:23 |
| etech | 8.04 is lts, not 8.10 | 10:23 |
| rww | etech: sorry, 8.04, not 8.10 | 10:23 |
| enygmata | nww the errors are just that some xorg drivers and some libelf binaries cant be found (its less than 10 packages).. i checked the ftp repository and the files doesnt exist on the mirror... and doesnt exist on the archives.ubuntu.com mirror also | 10:23 |
| brettley_laptop | if someone would like to remote desktop in and take a look at it that would be more than amazing =) | 10:23 |
| chibiace | brettley_laptop: doesnt get up to the grub screen then? | 10:23 |
| brettley_laptop | nope | 10:23 |
| rww | etech: Okay, here we go. Kubuntu 8.04 is supported until October 2009. So no, it wasn't an LTS. | 10:24 |
| bryant | brettlry, if you're able to remote into a box that isn't running anything, that would just be more than magical :) | 10:24 |
| brettley_laptop | live CD | 10:24 |
| brettley_laptop | =) | 10:24 |
| etech | too bad :( | 10:24 |
| bryant | =] | 10:24 |
| chibiace | brettley_laptop: on the install are you using use entire disk option? | 10:24 |
| brettley_laptop | no, i have 3 disks =P | 10:25 |
| chibiace | brettley_laptop: 3 disks, the bios set to boot the same one you are installing to? :P | 10:25 |
| brettley_laptop | im not sure, it doesnt give me that option i dont think lol | 10:26 |
| brettley_laptop | ill look at it] | 10:26 |
| rww | Pirate_Hunter: You could try "sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server" That should about cover all of LAMP. | 10:26 |
| chibiace | brettley_laptop: it gives many partition options. you can even do it manually | 10:26 |
| brettley_laptop | lllets see if that did the trick | 10:27 |
| brettley_laptop | yay! | 10:27 |
| chibiace | brettley_laptop: i once had a problem that i needed to change where the boot loader was installed to i think thats on the confirm choice before installing page | 10:27 |
| enygmata | well.. be back in around one hour.. the updater didnt save the downloaded packages... | 10:27 |
| brettley_laptop | all i had to do is have my mobo re-search my drives to find a bootloader | 10:27 |

| archman | JackWinter: so you removed your rep installation and installed with subversion? | 11:28 |
| spencercornyn | ok thanks chibiace for your help | 11:28 |

| JackWinter | archman: yes, i think i removed qjackctl and jack, and then isntalled both of them from svn. got more xruns with jack2, so backed out of that one and installed 109 again from a package, but left the new qjackctl | 11:30 |
| archman | JackWinter: in terms of stability* | 11:30 |
| chibiace | they are saying satay is yummy | 11:31 |

| chibiace | meh later | 11:32 |
| JackWinter | archman: no idea :) just try it, and if it breaks you should always be able to backout and install the older packages. but svn is also not very hard. just svn xxxxx, then configure, and make install. | 11:32 |
| archman | JackWinter: ok, i'll try with ppa now | 11:32 |
| JackWinter | archman: good luck :) let me know how it went, am also interested... | 11:33 |

| MrWhammy | Hi all, I messed around with my partitions and grub to install Windows on a small partition for work use. I managed to get it all working, only my usplash-thing is gone. There 's a splashscreen where the progressbar bounces left to right, but then it switches to text mode ('Reading files to boot [OK]' and so on...) Anyone knows how to fix this? | 11:41 |
| fosco_ | dwarder: menu system preferences - desktop - effects | 11:41 |
| HEP85 | My setup: /dev/sda1 --> D, /dev/sdb1 --> C, /dev/sdb2 --> Ubuntu | 11:41 |
| archman | JackWinter everything works excellent! Synaptic did not complain, qjackctl start the engine normally; packages didn't conflict; http://www.imagesforme.com/out.php/i342508_Screenshot.png | 11:42 |
| archman | JackWinter: I'm gonna restart my system now...to see that everything's fine! | 11:42 |
| HEP85 | In menu.lst I first had root(1,0) but I got "Missing BOOTMGR". So I set root(0,0) and now Windows boots but with wrong drive order | 11:42 |
| EugenMayer | rww: thank you. I guess then i just wait. No need for the own kernel again an start to fix all the drivers etc | 11:43 |
| HEP85 | It is probably important that /dev/sda is IDE and /dev/sdb is SATA | 11:43 |

| Fuzzy | crashmax03, so? | 13:10 |
| stefg | GeffIsLegend: wine will create a starter... | 13:11 |

| helix1 | GF7600GS | 13:20 |

| GeffIsLegend | it says permission denied :[ | 13:21 |
| stefg | GeffIsLegend: i'd rather get used to that behaviour.... it's bad practice to disbale the password prompt | 13:21 |
| fran69 | but i have some questions | 13:21 |
| ikonia | GeffIsLegend: you have to use sudo | 13:21 |
| ikonia | fran69: then ask them | 13:21 |
| GeffIsLegend | oh okay, ill leave the password on then sense you suggest it, i dont want to ruin my systme | 13:21 |

| mswrms | hello | 13:23 |
| fran69 | first of all y have my eth0 in dhcp to get the internet conection | 13:23 |
| savvas | GeffIsLegend: actually, you just have to uncomment a line in sudoers file (it's a small file, read the comments): gksu gedit /etc/sudoers | 13:23 |
| ikonia | fran69: ok | 13:23 |
| GeffIsLegend | oh alrighty, that sounds simple | 13:24 |
| hosk | man i would never flash my 360 | 13:24 |
| fran69 | ikonia: right? then i have to configure the second NIC as an static IP | 13:24 |
| ikonia | fran69: yes, that would be a sensible move | 13:24 |
| josinalvo | does anyone know what does the boot.cat file in the ubuntu live cd is for ? | 13:24 |
| stefg | helix1: as i read on the forums there is some cases where the 7600 GS isn't recognized correctly. Try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 to make sure you got the latest driver | 13:25 |
| fran69 | ikonia: question... which command in linux show me the ip that is configured in al my NICs ? | 13:25 |
| ikonia | fran69: ifconfig -a | 13:25 |
| savvas | GeffIsLegend: but be warned, don't blame anyone here if your system is intruded and you see various fishy things happening to your files :) | 13:26 |
| ikonia | fran69: however you can just use the gui in "system -> preferences -> networking configuration" to make it easy | 13:26 |

I am running from the virtual cd right now... how can i get things to work? | 13:26 |
| Tomas___ | i never had that problem when using the integrated soundcard | 13:26 |

| Tomas___ | I guess no one knows the solution to my sound problem? | 13:30 |

| fran69 | ikonia: you are RIGHT! ,well, i have tu use eth1 to share with win xp... what should i do then? do i have to configure eth1 ? | 13:32 |
| stefg | crist1: the run sudo fdisk -l again and paste result again, along with your /boot/grub/menu.lst (the one from the installed system) | 13:33 |

| Tomas___ | I will ask again.. Does anyone know a solution to my sound problem? I replaced my internal soundcard with a audigy 2 zs and everything seemed to work perfectly fine until 2 days later. I was playing mp3 as usual and then suddenly sound starts looping and player freezes up. This is not related to the player since it happens randomly after around 2 days no matter what player i am using. | 13:38 |
| stefg | crist1: you have to mount your system partition to the Live environment ... so it'll probably something like /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst | 13:38 |
| Tomas___ | the only fix is to reboot the pc | 13:38 |

| Tomas___ | Does anyone know a solution to my sound problem? I replaced my internal soundcard with a audigy 2 zs and everything seemed to work perfectly fine until 2 days later. I was playing mp3 as usual and then suddenly sound starts looping and player freezes up. This is not related to the player since it happens randomly after around 2 days no matter what player i am using. | 13:57 |

| Unguided | Tekteen: yep. Unfortunately thats all I know | 13:58 |
| tekteen | Unguided: linux has one "C:\" named / | 13:58 |
| tekteen | Unguided: linux then puts "D:\" on an empty folder you chose on / | 13:59 |
| Unguided | Tekteen: So linux doesnot assign drive letters | 13:59 |
| tekteen | no | 13:59 |
| tekteen | it assigns mount points | 14:00 |
| stefg | Unguided: Linux can use proper names.... indeed | 14:00 |

| dwarder | strange | 14:02 |
| jrib | Unguided: sure, you can set it up that way | 14:02 |
| tekteen | Unguided: you would need to originally assign it to a folder | 14:02 |
| tekteen | Unguided: when you install ubuntu. It will ask you how you would like to partition. From there you are able to set mount points for each partition | 14:02 |

| Tomas___ | the last sound that was playing keeps looping over and over again until i reboot the pc. | 14:16 |
| crist1 | stefg: yes | 14:16 |
| stefg | crist1: so that's the kernel | 14:16 |

| crist1 | stefg: mkay | 14:16 |
| jrib | gmathews: qtparted, gparted | 14:16 |
| stefg | crist1: now run 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda' and tell about errors, if they occur | 14:17 |
| hmw | Tomas___ usually this doesnt happen without reason. if you _really_ didnt change anything, and you didnt update anything, then i would suspect the soundcard to be broken. if you can, get another card of the same model and check it. did you look into the kernel log? did i understand you right, it starts to happen after 2d uptime? | 14:17 |

| stefg | crist1: yes... but you have to be in a chroot on the installed system, with /proc and /sys mounted and all the right nodes in /ev | 14:27 |
| Nicanor5 | It appears conected always, even if I disconnect the cable phisically | 14:27 |
| Murphy1 | @hmw: what's this, how it works? just apt-get it? | 14:28 |
| hmw | Murphy1 gah... i forgot the name of the thing. "netbios name something" | 14:28 |

| Max-P | n8tuser-> There is nothing called wicd in Synaptic | 15:13 |
| jrib | MBC: just md5sum the file and check the hash against the one ubottu gave you | 15:13 |
| mneptok | sky_: fat and fat32 yes. ntfs no. | 15:14 |

| billgoldberg | Hi, using the terminal how can I find out what my internal ip adressess on the network is? | 15:14 |
| blizzle | sky_, Delete the partition and create an ext3 one, perhaps. | 15:14 |
| mneptok | billgoldberg: ifconfig | 15:14 |
| nickrud | sky_, fire up gparted and delete :) | 15:15 |
| blizzle | sky_, Assuming you don't have grub installed there. | 15:15 |
| MBC | jrib: I didn't get a hash thoufgh | 15:15 |

| n8tuser | Max-P -> i dont know which repository that wicd is located | 15:17 |
| nickrud | sky_, it's very unlikely you put grub on an ntfs partition; are you sure it wasn't the mbr of the disk? | 15:17 |
| n8tuser | !wicd | 15:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd | 15:17 |

| sagredo | can someone please tell me how to disable the onboard speaker sound | 16:10 |
| hmw | Murphy1 okay, i am getting nervous, usually i should be able to do this *g*... i would like you to check the following: does your XP run a WINS service, does your ubuntu's samba act as WINS? does your windows have NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled? | 16:10 |
| sagredo | it is driving me mad | 16:11 |
| mhd720 | @sagredo you could unplug the speaker from inside your computer case | 16:11 |
| sagredo | mhd720: it's a laptop | 16:11 |
| Necrathex | sagredo: i fixed that once | 16:11 |
| n8tuser | Watkins -> doesnt the remote end have a .vnc/config file or directory? | 16:11 |
| Necrathex | lemme think :p | 16:11 |
| mhd720 | sagredo oh ok sorry. have you tried searching the ubuntu forums? | 16:11 |
| sagredo | mhd720: no need to apoligize, your input is appreciated :) | 16:11 |
| Watkins | n8tuser don't thinkso | 16:12 |
| sagredo | Necrathex: save me some time? | 16:12 |
| n8tuser | Watkins -> or maybe ~/.vnc/xstartup ? | 16:12 |
| hmw | Murphy1 check network settings (where you can set a static IP) of your XP, where you see the IP address (or "automatic"), there should be a button labeled something like "extended"... in there you got some tabs, one is named "WINS" - is "LMHOSTS ..." checked? | 16:13 |
| sagredo | mhd720: no but it looks like that question has been answered already, thanks | 16:14 |

| hmw | Necrathex - i just remembered: i mounted another partition over my /home and it worked, quite simple. after unmounting /home, the old content was there again. (i used /home as the mount point) - so i think, it is very easy to move your home data to another partition | 16:16 |

| makito249 | I have some questions about email setup. Right now I use evolution, but I want to set up a more unixy email setup. Most places recommend procmail, but I am not running a server? | 16:32 |
| hmw | Murphy1 hmm... now i have to start guessing. i found a forum entry, where they said, you would need winbind on your linux box. Another tip: your samba can act as WINS server, and it can act as Master Browser. Try "wins support = yes" or "wins sercer=IP_of_XP_PC" and restart samba | 16:33 |
| mojo | can someone help me change my hostname (fqdn) on my server? I have been following http://www.debianadmin.com/change-hostname-or-server-name-of-a-linux-machine.html and am not sure it's working right | 16:33 |
| OldMonk | makito249: procmail and evolution are for completely different things | 16:33 |
| saurabh | how can i have my graphics programming done in ubuntu | 16:33 |
| mojo | it is ubuntu hardy i386 server | 16:33 |
| makito249 | OK, if I wanted to have a daemon running that would check my mail, but not be running evolution all the time, what would I use? | 16:33 |
| hmw | Murphy1 typo,,, "wins server=" - in your /etc/samba/smb.conf | 16:33 |
| OldMonk | mojo: put it in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts (edit those files) | 16:33 |
| hmw | Murphy1 did you ever play around with the samba config file? | 16:34 |
| wemdowemd | OldMonk: I have tried with CTRL+H, there is no such file called '.' listed in my /home/ directory, but I can't create a file named that either because nautilus tells me one already exists. exodus_ms: 'ls-a' returns command not found | 16:34 |
| OldMonk | makito249: if you're on a pop3/imap account, fetchmail | 16:34 |
| hmw | Murphy1 i mean, do you know it a little= | 16:34 |
| mojo | OldMonk: do i put the fqdn in /etc/hostname or just the host name part? | 16:34 |
| OldMonk | wemdowemd: ls -a | 16:34 |
| OldMonk | mojo: fqdn in both | 16:34 |
| Murphy1 | i know but that's the "updated file" not modified ^^ | 16:34 |
| makito249 | fetchmail, OK. Thanks OldMonk! | 16:34 |
| velko | makito249, procmail is used just to sort the mail into different mail boxes. you'll need also something to get the mail from the servers (fetchmail), something to sent the mail (msmtp is easy one) and a mail client (mutt if you are at ease on the command line) | 16:34 |
| hmw | wemdowemd: in linux, every file beginning with a dot (.) is "hidden", so you wont see it in nautlius, unless you tell it to show hidden files. ls-a wont work, it is "ls -a" (space missing) | 16:35 |
| exodus_ms | wemdowemd: sorry it is ls -a 'there is a space between ls and the -a option' | 16:35 |
| saurabh | can anyone help me pls | 16:35 |
| saurabh | how can i have my graphics programming done in ubuntu | 16:35 |
| Ben_Cs | anyone knows what file i should edit instead of xorg.conf for screen resolution? cause in 8.10 dependencies of xorg.conf were reduced | 16:35 |
| mojo | so i put it in the server's own hosts file too huh? maybe that's why sudo keeps saying it can't resolve the name every time i type a superuser command | 16:35 |
| makito249 | wait, so I need both procmail and fetchmail for email? | 16:35 |
| OldMonk | mojo: hehheh | 16:35 |
| OldMonk | makito249: you need at least fetchmail | 16:35 |
| mojo | OldMonk: thanks | 16:35 |
| exodus_ms | wemdowemd: what file are you trying to locate | 16:35 |
| OldMonk | procmail is an optional extra | 16:35 |

| hmw | Murphy1 yea, i guess, your XP is already acting as a WINS server. give your samba its IP address and restart samba | 16:36 |
| makito249 | OK, I am a little confused. OldMonk, can you explain what procmail and fetchmail each do? | 16:36 |

| bob123 | do most airplanes come with some sort of laptop power connectors these days? | 16:38 |

| hmw | Murphy1 tbh, i am out of ideas | 16:39 |
| fluitfries | DasEi: thanks! | 16:39 |
| mojo | OldMonk: Okay now hostname -s = "alchemy", hostname -a = "alchemy.homelinux.org", and hostname -y = "homelinux.org" but hostname -d and hostname -f return nothing?!? | 16:39 |
| _Boten_ | tell me please, why I can't create new posts on ubuntu forums and reply to existing? the forum engine tells me that I haven't enough permission to do it. how can i post? | 16:39 |
| Murphy1 | hmw: how to set static ip each mac? | 16:39 |
| hmw | Murphy1 what piece of hardware is doing DHCP server in your net? the router? | 16:39 |
| OldMonk | mojo: you'll need to restart the system once, or just hostname foo.bar.com; /etc/init.d/networking restart | 16:40 |
| rab | jondecker76: can you do a mdadm -Q on each of the devices (block or partition) in your array | 16:40 |
| mojo | OldMonk: uname -a is returning "alchemy.homelinux.org" too | 16:40 |
| saurabh | ;like we use int86 function in turbo c++ for 8086 graphics support | 16:40 |
| OldMonk | mojo: uname usually doesn't have anything to do with the local hostname | 16:40 |
| mojo | OldMonk: appreciate the help | 16:40 |
| saurabh | how can i do that in ubuntu | 16:40 |
| mojo | old okay | 16:40 |
| OldMonk | uname -a returns the name of the host the kernel was built on, which isn't you unless you compiled it yourself | 16:41 |
| velko | saurabh, you seem pretty confused. but maybe the thing you are looking for is called ncurses | 16:41 |
| Murphy1 | hmw: i think yes | 16:41 |
| saurabh | wats ncurses | 16:41 |
| saurabh | explain pls | 16:41 |
| hmw | Murphy1 i dont know your routers setup. it is usually done with a browser. can you access the admin menu of your router? | 16:41 |
| OldMonk | saurabh: decide whether you want to use QT or GTK, and study their documentation | 16:41 |

| velko | saurabh, google it and if my guess is wrong, come back and explain your need better | 16:41 |
| saurabh | gtk | 16:41 |
| DasEi | ļ»ænectar:I nebver ran in that prob with vbox, but it looks likes you miss a library, maybe look with apt-cache search or in synaptic | which os you try to install ? | 16:41 |
| abyss_ | i already installed spamassassin and checked the option in evolution but everytime i select a mail as junk the failure-notice "spamassasin not aviable" appears! | 16:41 |
| abyss_ | what can i do to get it work? | 16:42 |
| OldMonk | saurabh: well, you learn gtk and write programs in it :) | 16:42 |
| mojo | OldMonk: hmm... hostname -d and -f both return just "alchemy"... is that right??? | 16:42 |

| mojo | OldMonk: the howto i followed was http://www.debianadmin.com/change-hostname-or-server-name-of-a-linux-machine.html | 16:46 |
| OldMonk | mojo: give this command first: sudo hostname alchemy.homelinux.org | 16:46 |
| OldMonk | now just type hostname. it should show the full host name. | 16:46 |
| hmw | Murphy1 what i dont understand is, that i had hard times to get my smb name resolution working. now i cant turn it off anymore... i am confused. | 16:46 |

| hmw | truefalse if you plan on using 4 partitions, and make them all primary, you will be stuck with 4 partitions. for flexibility, at least one of your four partitions should be extended. | 16:55 |
| miha | pete: it's not ubuntu's fault not to detect older monitors. older monitors do PlugNPlay badly. you can set it manually (modline and stuff) or buy new one | 16:56 |

| m7669 | Okay, thank you. The interface is pretty darn cool anyway. | 16:58 |
| hmw | truefalse thats my idea. another hint: if youre using your linux heavily (running many processes), the swap will be used often. it will work slightly faster, if the swap partition is on the beginning of your hard drive (meaning, it should be the first partition on the hard disk) | 16:59 |

| mojo | m7669: i am not up on the progress of xdmx / dmx2 or chromium, but those are technologies you might look at if your host os is also linux. you can, theoretically, forward the opengl an such from the VM linux box to the X server on the host | 17:04 |

| blahblahx | hey guys. i want to have wbar autostart so i made a .desktop file for it and put it in /etc/xdg/autostart. however, since it uses fake transparency, it adapts to the black background that shows up before my wallpaper, not my actual wallpaper. is there any way to change this, like have it not start for a few seconds? | 17:14 |
| usser | DRagonRage, im afraid your only option is reinstall | 17:14 |

| kshadow | Watkins: sudo apt-get FILE | 17:24 |
| usser | blahblahx, According to wbar's author, wbar might try to show itself before the desktop is ready. If the bar comes up looking weird (with window decorations, for example), try adding a short wait, such as sleep 5, just prior to the wbar command in your file. | 17:25 |
| Watkins | o lol | 17:25 |
| kshadow | Or if you ahve the .deb file, dpkg -i filename.deb | 17:25 |

| Quetschke | can anybody help me to modfiy a /etc/crypttab using a live-system? | 18:43 |
| truth | Ikonia: it didn't uninstall | 18:43 |
| ikonia | truth: do you see anything ? | 18:43 |
| ikonia | truth: it won't have done, I've not given you the command | 18:43 |
| ikonia | truth: I've just told you how to find the package name | 18:43 |
| truth | Ikonia: oh ok | 18:43 |
| ikonia | truth: got the package name | 18:44 |
| truth | Ikonia: wait in synaptic pacakege manager? | 18:44 |
| ikonia | truth: no - you won't see it | 18:44 |
| ikonia | truth: open a terminal and do "dpkg -l | grep skype" | 18:44 |
| quibbler | Monacofero: then i think it is a wine problem and you can better get help in #winehq | 18:44 |
| ikonia | truth: that will get you the package named | 18:44 |
| bigbucks | so IBU? | 18:44 |
| truth | Ikonia: ok, did that | 18:45 |
| ikonia | truth: what is the package name ? | 18:45 |
| niere | Quetschke: what is the problem your facing, that reading `man 5 crypttab` does not solve? | 18:45 |
| Nom- | Can anyone suggest what I could look at to identify the cause of NFS slowness on one particular machine? I'm pushing over 20MB/sec of NFS traffic on this box, but the server side is still twiddling it's thumbs...it's only this client which is slow | 18:45 |

| kn100 | Is ther anyway to use windows mobile based devices in Ubuntu | 18:46 |
| truth | Ikonia: ur amazing | 18:46 |
| ikonia | truth: great, now do the other one | 18:46 |
| ikonia | truth: as in install the other one | 18:46 |
| truth | Ikonia: ok | 18:46 |
| Quetschke | niere: using a live-system i can open the device, but how can i modify the crypttab that is used by the bootloader? | 18:46 |
| niere | Quetschke: you know of anything causing that? | 18:46 |
| Monacofero | quibbler: oh, i've checked - its also a problem in open office, for example... | 18:47 |
| niere | Quetschke: with a current distribution, usually an update-initramfs will do (after you fixed your crypttab) | 18:47 |
| Monacofero | is there a possibility to reinstall the letters or anything like that? | 18:47 |
| truth | Ikonia: first of all, its done. u got it to work. Thanx sooo much! Is there any way I can thank you? | 18:47 |
| Quetschke | niere: mhm and how can i modify the crypttab using the live-system? | 18:48 |
| ikonia | truth: just enjoy, that's thanks enough | 18:48 |
| ikonia | truth: well done | 18:48 |

| pauwels_ | Hi ppl | 18:51 |
| ikonia | bigbucks: virtual PC is a microsoft product so it depends how it emmulates hardware as to if ubuntu will work on it, I'd bet yes though | 18:51 |
| pauwels_ | ive got a problem with my sound | 18:51 |
| Quetschke | niere: that's what i did; but what i do not understand: if i modify the crypttab that is located at the encrypted partition how can it be used to mount the device on startup? | 18:51 |
| pauwels_ | when i play something i just hear one channel of the sound | 18:51 |
| pauwels_ | could someone help me with this? | 18:51 |
| cdburgess | check hardware by using a headphone | 18:53 |
| pauwels_ | we did | 18:53 |
| pauwels_ | still one channel:/ | 18:53 |
| niere | Quetschke: your initramfs/initrd mounts your encrypted devices at startup, and that's created/updated with update-initramfs using scripts which look at parts of your configuration (e.g. /etc/crypttab) within the (encrypted) root partition | 18:53 |
| iPeter- | Hey, how i can reinstall grub? I had windows and linux, then windows messed up and i had to reinstall it.. | 18:53 |
| pauwels_ | is there a way to reset the sound drivers or something? | 18:53 |
| shmuck | hi, just upgraded xorg to 7.4, after 'startx' keyboard or mouse does not work, what could be causing this? thanks | 18:54 |

| ikonia | !grub > iPeter- | 18:54 |

| MBC | !grum > mbc | 18:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about grum | 18:55 |
| ikonia | pauwels_: don't know, what's the issue ? | 18:55 |
| iPeter- | ikonia, I dont have livecd | 18:55 |
| MBC | !grub > MBC | 18:55 |
| ubottu | MBC, please see my private message | 18:55 |
| etko | ok ikonia i have openbsd box with 3 nics | 18:55 |
| pauwels_ | well .. if i play sound i just hear the right channel :| | 18:55 |
| Quetschke | niere: ok thanks a lot, i'll try it this way | 18:55 |
| etko | one connected to cable modem | 18:55 |
| pauwels_ | we tried it with headphones | 18:55 |
| ikonia | iPeter-: you're going to need one | 18:55 |
| milostrife | anyone know how to install hauppauge wintv on ubuntu? | 18:55 |
| ikonia | etko: ok | 18:55 |
| pauwels_ | and no difference | 18:55 |
| etko | and 2 connectet to switches | 18:55 |
| iPeter- | ikonia, i'am now on ubuntu, do i still need a livecd? | 18:55 |
| shmuck | ikonia, yes fbsd's tool to upgrade stuff | 18:55 |
| ikonia | iPeter-: you maybe able to get away with it using the grub binary on your current install, you should | 18:56 |
| etko | one has of these nics has ip adresses 192.168.0.X | 18:56 |
| Quetschke | niere: one question: if i want to use a keyfile to encrypt the device, where do i have to put it to make it accessable by the bootloader | 18:56 |
| etko | second 192.168.1.X | 18:56 |
| ikonia | shmuck: yes - but you're using ubuntu, so those tools won't be supported nor will building your own xorg binaries | 18:56 |
| ndogbosok | is that matter? | 18:56 |
| etko | there is ubuntu box with 192.168.1.2 | 18:56 |
| shmuck | i thought it is xorg related, and maybe someone experienced it before | 18:56 |
| etko | and it cannot see windows box at 192.168.0.2 | 18:56 |
| ikonia | shmuck: 1.) no-one will be using bsd tools 2.) most people who have experience will know how to debug building their own binaries | 18:57 |
| etko | however internet through openbsd box as gateway is working | 18:57 |
| ikonia | etko: sounds like the routing on your BSD box is not correct | 18:57 |

| schatzimausi | hey | 18:57 |
| schatzimausi | hallo keiner da | 18:58 |
| shmuck | ikonia, im using bsd, i thought this issue could be xorg related .. that is i'm asking in this # | 18:58 |
| amaurea | is it normal to have to add --arch=x86_64 to get make-kpkg to work when compiling the kernel? I am attempting to cimple the kernel I already have, with no modifications | 18:58 |
| RAMDAC | ikonia:chmod -R 775 ~/Desktop like this? | 18:58 |
| etko | hmm yah ikonia but when i connect two windows boxes they are working flawlessly | 18:58 |
| ikonia | shmuck: this is ubuntu - not xorg support | 18:58 |
| etko | so routing works | 18:58 |
| shmuck | i know | 18:58 |
| niere | Quetschke: don't know, perhaps it's mentioned in the documentation or a howto | 18:58 |
| ikonia | RAMDAC: yup, that looks good | 18:58 |
| RAMDAC | ok thanx | 18:58 |
| ikonia | etko: check the routing table on your ubuntu box | 18:58 |
| ikonia | RAMDAC: (don't forget sudo) | 18:58 |
| etko | however when i try to ping anything on local network on ubuntu | 18:58 |
| etko | it always ends pinging up itself | 18:58 |
| ndogbosok | exit | 18:58 |
| RAMDAC | ikonia dont worry and thanx very much | 18:59 |
| ikonia | etko: yup, sounds like your ubuntu box does not have the correct routing setup | 18:59 |
| etko | ikonia : that is done by iptables? | 18:59 |
| Quetschke | niere: ok thanks anyway | 18:59 |
| ronny | again: anyone aware of a unbuntu install cd with ext4 support? | 18:59 |
| ikonia | etko: no, with the route command or your network cd | 18:59 |
| ikonia | ronny: none currently | 18:59 |
| ikonia | ronny: ext4 will be in ubuntu 9.04 | 18:59 |
| etko | ikonia : yeah its friend ntbk, these routing table build up automatically? | 18:59 |
| ikonia | etko: sorry - not network cd, network config | 18:59 |
| niere | Quetschke: np | 18:59 |
| ikonia | etko: you'll probably have to manually add a route either using route or the network config file | 19:00 |
| etko | hmm how come that windows boxes work withou a prob? | 19:00 |
| ronny | ikonia: so another 2 months to wait? | 19:00 |
| ikonia | ronny: yup | 19:00 |
| ronny | hmm | 19:00 |
| ronny | sad for me | 19:00 |
| ikonia | etko: they are on a different network range aren't they ? | 19:00 |
| etko | yeah | 19:00 |
| ronny | hmm | 19:00 |
| ikonia | etko: so that range may not require routing | 19:00 |
| ronny | anyone aware of a tool that helps managing what files are where? | 19:01 |
| ikonia | ronny: the package manager deals with that for you | 19:01 |
| robert_zaccour | ok i have crosswearer demo installed. where do i find the saved files? | 19:01 |
| ikonia | ronny: or nautlius in gnome is a file manager | 19:01 |
| ronny | i got many computers and many harddisks and i lost track of evolution | 19:01 |
| etko | i specified netmask in manual connection properties for ubox both 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.0.0 | 19:01 |
| etko | and it doesn't work | 19:01 |
| ronny | s/evolution/replication | 19:01 |
| etko | both ways | 19:01 |
| ikonia | ronny: it's on the desktop menu bar at the top of your screen on any ubuntu install | 19:01 |
| ikonia | etko: a netmask is not a route | 19:01 |
| ronny | ikonia: what do you mean | 19:02 |
| etko | ok where can i find more info about this routing? | 19:02 |
| ronny | ikonia: im talking about personal files now, not packages | 19:02 |
| ikonia | ronny: on the menu bar in ubuntu it says "applications places system" then some icons | 19:02 |
| ikonia | etko: the internet | 19:02 |
| === diego is now known as Guest47900 | ||
| ikonia | ronny: ooh well nautlius is a fine file manager | 19:02 |
| niere | ronny: if it's only files/filenames, try locate (which is kind of an indexed find) | 19:02 |
| ronny | niere: multiple computers and portable harddisks | 19:02 |
| niere | ronny: if you're interested in metadata as well, you might want to look at a desktop search engine, like beagle | 19:03 |
| ronny | i havent been able to find a tool that helps keeping massive filesets + their partial replication in order | 19:03 |
| ikonia | ronny: rsync works excellent as replication | 19:03 |
| etko | yeh great :)) | 19:03 |
| usser | ronny, niere tracker does metadata search too, no? | 19:03 |
| etko | thx anyway | 19:03 |
| === erle64- is now known as matt- | ||
| ronny | ikonia: but this is partial replication to multiple destinations | 19:04 |
| ikonia | etko: what do you want me to say, you asked where to learn about routing | 19:04 |
| ikonia | ronny: rsync an do that | 19:04 |
| RAMDAC | ikonia: how do i get rid from the lock mark what appears in upper right of the folder | 19:04 |
| ikonia | RAMDAC: change the permissions to something your current user can read | 19:04 |
| ronny | ikonia: but it wont manage the combination if *what* and *where* in a nice way | 19:04 |
| nellmathew | is there a way to configure my DLink router w/ ubuntu?.. the config page's buttons aren't doing anything in ubuntu/firefox.. | 19:04 |
| Hiko96786 | RAMDAC that is a matter of the owner of the directory based on user permissions | 19:05 |
| RAMDAC | ok then what i do? | 19:05 |
| ikonia | ronny: it will you can say replicate file a to place b on box b and place c on box c | 19:05 |
| ikonia | RAMDAC: re-open the file manager | 19:05 |
| Hiko96786 | Right click and look at the user rights of the folder. | 19:05 |
| RAMDAC | ok guys do u mean that i change the owner type to the user name | 19:05 |
| RAMDAC | ? | 19:06 |
| ronny | ikonia: but it wont remember what i did place where and why | 19:06 |
| ikonia | RAMDAC: the owner of the permissions | 19:06 |
| ronny | ikonia: i want cimplete automated *management* | 19:06 |
| ikonia | ronny: it will remember the place as you specify it in the config file, it won't tell you why | 19:06 |
| RAMDAC | ok i'll see | 19:06 |
| ikonia | ronny: then look into cvs or svn | 19:06 |
| ronny | not just invoke rsync, keep track yourself | 19:06 |
| ronny | ikonia: those are entirely unsuitable for my suff | 19:06 |
| ikonia | ronny: then there is no tool | 19:06 |
| ikonia | ronny: use a pen and paper | 19:06 |
| etko | ikonia no problem i just have no clue where to start | 19:06 |
| ronny | 1. they are centralized, 2. they completely suck for blobs at sizes up to 4-5 gb | 19:07 |
| ikonia | etko: man route is a good start to understand how the routing command / setup works | 19:07 |
| Hiko96786 | etko, what are you trying to do? | 19:07 |
| etko | why is even routing needed when other boxes work flawleslly | 19:07 |
| RAMDAC | ikonia:what is the chmod of the user name | 19:07 |
| ikonia | etko: because the other boxes are on a visable subnet | 19:07 |
| etko | Hiko96786 : my ubuntu boz is unable to ping anybody | 19:07 |
| ikonia | RAMDAC: chmod is not used with a username | 19:07 |
| etko | not even the gateway | 19:07 |
| ikonia | RAMDAC: chmod is set your permissions | 19:07 |
| peepsalot | for some reason pidgin won't connect to google chat anymore, is this happening for other people? | 19:07 |
| etko | but gateway works because internet is working | 19:07 |
| RAMDAC | ikonia:i mean is there anything rather than 775 | 19:07 |
| Hiko96786 | Wired or Wireless? | 19:08 |
| ikonia | RAMDAC: 775 will make it read/write/exectable for the current owner, the current group owner and read executable for the rest of the users | 19:08 |
| ronny | hmm | 19:08 |
| Hiko96786 | etko, wired network or wireless? | 19:08 |
| etko | Hiko96786 : wired | 19:09 |
| samsom | how do i connect to other servers | 19:09 |
| Hiko96786 | etko, Ok. Can you pull up webpages in Firefox? | 19:09 |
| RAMDAC | ikonia:ok how do i change the owner of the folder and all of its contents? | 19:09 |
| ikonia | RAMDAC: chown -R $username:$groupname $folder | 19:09 |
| Quetschke | sansom: to which servers? | 19:09 |

| IntuitiveNipple | oddhere74: Which release (lsb_release -a) and kernel version do you need (uname -r) | 19:13 |
| samsom | how do i use irc via terminal...i have installed ircii. but how do i open it in a terminal | 19:13 |
| BrettS | I am doing this through a flash drive | 19:13 |
| oddhere74 | the one I managed to find in the repository was version 2.6.15-53.75, it's not even for the version of kernel installed now | 19:13 |
| ikonia | BrettS: do you have any unallocated disk space (as in not allocated to the vista partition) | 19:13 |
| BrettS | No I do not, that is my issue ikonia | 19:13 |
| etko | ikonia could it be caused by that ubuntu boax has also ip6 enabled? | 19:13 |
| BrettS | Vista thinks it all belongs to it | 19:13 |
| oddhere74 | IntuitiveNipple: I need kernel-devel package for version 2.6.25-2 | 19:14 |
| ikonia | BrettS: that is a problem as you probably won't be able to resize the partition | 19:14 |
| ikonia | etko: doubtful | 19:14 |
| BrettS | Though I do have FREE disk space that CAN be partitioned | 19:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | oddhere74: We didn't publish a 2.6.25 kernel | 19:14 |
| ikonia | etko: unless you on an ip 6 network it wont matter | 19:14 |
| req^ | I have a stange problem. My ubuntu desktop system has en_US.utf-9 locale and so does my server, and my characters are correct. However when I alt+[number] to change windows in irssi I get strange symbols like "Ā±Ā²Ā³Ā“ĀµĀ¶Ā·". How should I go about fixing this? | 19:14 |
| oddhere74 | IntuitiveNipple: mine is 2.6.27 but I got 2.6.25 and booted it | 19:14 |
| ikonia | BrettS: free space is not unallocated space, so I doubt you'll be able to re-size your partition with the ubuntu tools | 19:14 |
| RAMDAC | ikonia:i've searched but all problems happens for people has intel hda but me having nvidia is the problem | 19:14 |
| oddhere74 | IntuitiveNipple: How ! | 19:14 |
| etko | ikonia : okay thx | 19:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | oddhere74: Wher'd you get 2.6.25 from? Not the Ubuntu archives? | 19:14 |
| BrettS | do i need to unallocate some space with vista | 19:14 |
| BrettS | then re-boot up? | 19:14 |
| ikonia | BrettS: yes | 19:14 |
| BrettS | okay thanks ill try that out | 19:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | BrettS: you should be able to use gparted to create some unallocated space | 19:14 |
| ikonia | BrettS: you need free partition space to be able to resize | 19:15 |
| ikonia | IndyGunFreak: not if his whole disk is allocated, | 19:15 |
| oddhere74 | IntuitiveNipple: yes the Ubuntu repository | 19:15 |
| IntuitiveNipple | oddhere74: Show me the output of "uname -a" please | 19:15 |
| oddhere74 | IntuitiveNipple: OK | 19:15 |
| ikonia | IndyGunFreak: it won't always allow it if there is all space allocated and the file system too full to swap it out | 19:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | ikonia: i don't know, i've never had a problem w/ it | 19:15 |

| FeRcHo | que onda que cuentan | 19:17 |
| ikonia | nellmathew: yes, the /etc/sudoers file (edit it with sudo visudo) you need to tell it to not prompt for a password for your user | 19:17 |

| oddhere74 | IntuitiveNipple: well I just need an earlier kernel than 2.6.27 which is the default I got with Ubuntu Hardy, to be able to run vmware | 19:17 |
| ikonia | OriWB: no need, happy to help | 19:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | oddhere74: Is it possible you got it from the Ubuntu Linux/ports for i386? | 19:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | oddhere74: Take a look here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-ports/ | 19:18 |
| pauwels_ | Still have the same problem | 19:18 |
| pauwels_ | could you help me with my sound? | 19:18 |

| caboosification | hey whats the best virtual machine for running ubuntu in xp ? | 19:19 |
| oddhere74 | IntuitiveNipple: well, it wasn't a port, but let's just forgot about it, if I could find the devel package then it's solved, but your hint in regards of vmware-server would be greatly appreciated to | 19:19 |
| ikonia | caboosification: as in ##windows | 19:19 |
| oddhere74 | s/to/too/g | 19:19 |
| ikonia | caboosification: more important to get the host - rather than the guest supported | 19:19 |
| pauwels_ | ikonia | 19:19 |
| pauwels_ | can i ask my question to you? | 19:20 |
| ikonia | pauwels_: sure | 19:20 |
| pauwels_ | when i run with livecd | 19:20 |
| pauwels_ | i get stereo sound | 19:20 |

| pauwels_ | i just cant find it | 19:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | oddhere74: I saw "linux-headers-2.6.25-2-386_2.6.25-2.3_i386.deb" in the archive ports - that looks close, but the "uname -a" looked like it was a custom-built kernel since it didn't include the Ubuntu name nor a build date/time | 19:20 |
| oddhere74 | IntuitiveNipple: yes you're right, sorry I'm using IRC on another machine which is 8.04, but the machine I'm trying to run vmware-server on is 8.10 | 19:20 |
| ikonia | caboosification: you can try it | 19:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | oddhere74: lol Ahhhhh! You were confusing me greatly there | 19:21 |
| oddhere74 | IntuitiveNipple: I'm so sorry yes I can imagine | 19:21 |
| ikonia | pauwels_: that's most odd | 19:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | oddhere74: I use KVM for VMs so I can't help you with vmware | 19:21 |

| caboosification | ikonia: what would you suggest tho ? i have no experience with virtual machines so far | 19:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | oddhere74: Maybe the vmware forums can help you more? They probably have more people with experience of these kind of issues than you're going to find here. | 19:22 |

| mattva01 | does anyone know how to add a service to the Administration>Services menu? | 19:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | oddhere74: It's just that based on that uname output I'm suspicious that the running kernel wasn't built by Ubuntu... *unless* the ports build was broken in that regard and no-one spotted it | 19:24 |
| rods | ikonia: does that mean I'm not getting hte most out of my syste< | 19:24 |

| ikonia | pauwels_: errr don't know off the top of my head, I'm not massivly up on sound | 19:27 |
| oddhere74 | IntuitiveNipple: exactly that is what drives me completely crazy here cause vmware's message is as follows:- The path "path" is a kernel header file directory, but it is not part of kernel source tree. | 19:27 |
| oddhere74 | IntuitiveNipple: I have my doubts that it's not just a vmware issue, am I right? | 19:27 |

| fluitfries | about how long should it take to resize a 200g partition to 170? | 19:54 |
| pr1r | friut you using gparted? | 19:54 |
| miller_ | pr1r, I've never had a problem reinstalling a dual boot system if ubuntu was installed second by deleting and reformatting the ubuntu partition; this will reinstall the boot loader to allow dual booting | 19:55 |

| pr1r | miller, i dont want to have to install windoZe again. its a pain. all i use that for is for my steam account you know? i basically want to write over this partition with a fresh install of ubuntu | 19:56 |
| jrib | !away > olibi | 19:56 |
| ubottu | olibi, please see my private message | 19:56 |
| jrib | pr1r: not exactly what you asked, but you realize steam works fine in wine? | 19:57 |
| pr1r | i dont do wine | 19:57 |
| jakswa | pr1r, me too, only for steam :-\ | 19:57 |
| pr1r | jrib i would love nothing more than to use wine i have in the past | 19:57 |
| miller_ | pr1r, as long as you installed windows first, and ubuntu second, you can reinstall ubuntu to your hearts content; as long as you don't format the windows partition of course; I also found a VM for small things works wonderfully, I suggest virtualbox for ease of use | 19:57 |
| pr1r | miller_ thank you very much, info is much appreciated | 19:58 |
| miller_ | I run a VPN software for work in a VM and that's all I use it for | 19:58 |

| Flannel | !best | aixenv | 20:07 |
| ubottu | aixenv: 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. | 20:07 |
| helo | rtorrent is nice... | 20:07 |

| deany | Seven_Six_Two, it might be on another partition, but, its a directory inside / | 20:23 |
| deany | hence, it`ll get included | 20:23 |
| _VIM_ | JC_Denton__: np | 20:23 |
| Seven_Six_Two | deany, that's why I'm not trying to dd /, but /dev/sda1 | 20:24 |

| AdamS42a | I am setting up a proxy server with Ubuntu 8.04 server. eth0 is on the LAN side, eth1 is connected to the router. Only eth1 can ping my router, thus nothing on the LAN can get past eth0. What should I be looking at to pass traffic between eth0 and eth1? Squid? Routing? What? | 20:24 |
| Necrathex | hmw: just succesfully moved my /home to a new partition, thanks again ;) | 20:25 |

| deany | doesnt it have to be unmounted first if you use DD? | 20:25 |
| klasikahl | AdamS42a: iptables nat | 20:25 |
| Er2K | Seven_Six_Two: You might find partimage or the imaging stuff in parted/gparted a bit more manageable. | 20:25 |

| AdamS42a | klasikahl, that's in squid, right? | 20:25 |

| BrettS | i installed ubuntu on my 965g intel intregraded video card, and it says im missing XGL or something, anyone know what it means? | 20:25 |
| deany | Seven_Six_Two, i *think* it has to be unmounted..... | 20:26 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Er2K, gparted does whole partition backups with compression? | 20:26 |

| Er2K | Seven_Six_Two: My bad. Gparted won't, but partimage will. | 20:27 |
| Er2K | using dd to backup raw filesystems has not always been reliable for me.....make sure to test you restore before you announce it 'backed up' | 20:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I'm checking out those links that ubottu dumped, and I'll check out partimage too. thanks | 20:27 |
| deany | Seven_Six_Two, if you dont mind rebooting i`d use clonezilla.. | 20:28 |
| deany | does disk or partition images | 20:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | deany, lol. I have no blanks. I just spent about 8 hours getting 8.10 installed on a sata system with hybridSLI | 20:28 |

| jtaji | Scunizi_: adduser user group | 20:30 |
| Er2K | Scunizi_: usermod -G <group> -a <user> | 20:30 |
| Scunizi_ | which would be better to add a user to www-data | 20:31 |
| Scunizi_ | both the same? | 20:31 |
| jtaji | the same | 20:31 |
| Er2K | same | 20:31 |
| jtaji | adduser is nicer as you see ;) | 20:31 |
| jtaji | to type | 20:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | psion, I use that too, and I read about a way using xauth or xset or xhost or something like that. I never got it to work though | 20:31 |
| Scunizi_ | cool | 20:31 |
| Flannel | Scunizi_: `adduser user group` is the easiest, and best way to not break something. | 20:31 |
| jtaji | if you forget the -a, you screw up your groups | 20:31 |
| jtaji | with usermod | 20:32 |
| Flannel | Scunizi_: If you use usermod and forget the -a, you remove all the other groups its in | 20:32 |
| psion | Seven_Six_Two: ah thanks, it just annoys me because certain windows will only pop up on one screen | 20:32 |
| jtaji | hehe | 20:32 |
| Er2K | very true...you took the words from my mouth jtaji | 20:32 |
| picca | just edit /etc/groups | 20:32 |

| deany | thought it would say server kernel | 20:33 |
| ad1 | hi all | 20:33 |
| Flannel | Tonik: They're not exactly different. You can use uname like deany said to determine the kernel, but that won't tell you much anyway (you can have either kernel on either). You can also check to see if X is installed | 20:33 |
| deany | guess its not then | 20:33 |
| whatev | zash: how can i make this an alias: apt-get source $(dpkg -S $(which top) | cut -d: -f1) and have the part where it says 'top' be an argument variable? so i can just type: "aliasname blah" to automatically run: apt-get source $(dpkg -S $(which blah) | cut -d: -f1) | 20:33 |
| jtaji | Tonik: or check if ubuntu-desktop is installed | 20:33 |
| Flannel | Tonik: That means you're running Dapper, and it's likely a desktop machine. | 20:34 |
| jtaji | Tonik: apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop | 20:34 |
| Tonik | Flannel: X is installed, but I may have installed it on top of a server edittion :)_ | 20:34 |
| Tonik | the real question is, does it matter what .iso to use for upgrade to 8.04? | 20:34 |
| zash | whatev: i think thats to complex to build an alias for, you could try writing a small function | 20:34 |
| Er2K | Seven_Six_Two: If you are (or plan to) use dd to also image NTFS partitions, use ntfsclone instead. dd images of ntfs partitions will often not work if put on a drive of different geometry, use it on a leap year, anger god, get up on the wrong side of the bed, etc. | 20:34 |
| Flannel | Tonik: Indeed. There isn't really a hard fast way to tell, because they're not different. | 20:34 |
| ad1 | I have a question for anyone using ubuntu hardy - friefox 3.0.5 and have laptop with a touchpad.... | 20:34 |

| russia213 | Can I get help with GRUB? I get error 15 file not found http://paste.ubuntu.com/115410/ | 20:34 |
| Tonik | Flannel: alternate can also be server and desktop, right? | 20:34 |
| deany | lsb_release -a | 20:35 |
| zash | whatev: yes | 20:35 |
| deany | maybe | 20:35 |

| hlfshell | help! my ubuntu laptop which worked perfectly yesterday morning now can't start an xserver. I have no clue how to fix this one... | 20:35 |
| hlfshell | over my head... | 20:35 |
| Flannel | Tonik: It can install a desktop box with a GUI, or a CLI-only box, yes. But it's not the same as the "server" flavor, which has a separate kernel | 20:35 |
| psion | is there anyway to recurse with sftp in it's native form? | 20:35 |

| ad1 | how can i use horizontall scroll bar in touchpad as a back/forward button in firefox? | 20:35 |
| tmarty | MY connection is wireless on this laptop. Firestarter and ifconfig has it as eth1. Im trying to connect xbox to my computer to get on xbox live. | 20:35 |
| micael | fala fi | 20:36 |
| tmarty | By ethernet cable to my laptop from xbox. But its not connecting. | 20:36 |
| ad1 | it's my favorite trick in ubuntu | 20:36 |
| Flannel | Tonik: But the alternate CD has the most packages on it, and it'll result in you needing to download fewer from the internet during install. Of course, you also will have updates after you upgrade, so if you're just using a CD to save on bandwidth, I say just go with the straight internet upgrade. | 20:36 |
| Seveas | psion, I believe not, but try lftp instead (it supports sftp) | 20:36 |

| MBC | usser: How? | 21:12 |
| handala | i have a very slow connection and i wanna download all the updates for ubuntu 8.10, how can i do it from a windows box and have ubuntu install it on its own?? | 21:12 |
| wunnymush | where's your private message, ubotto? | 21:13 |
| Er2K | rip: sometimes /dev, but I don't think anything he is doing will require proc | 21:13 |
| whatev | how do you guys know so much do you just sit around and read man pages all day? :p | 21:13 |
| jrib | whatev: use Ā« sudo -i Ā» instead. Both give you a permanent sudo shell of sorts | 21:13 |
| shawnmstout | mbc think of sudo is like running windows as an administrator | 21:13 |
| [rip]oink | handala not really.. | 21:13 |
| dayo_ | wunnymush: it's a bot. | 21:13 |
| MoLoot | whatev, and big thick text books and lots of google | 21:13 |
| Er2K | his stuff will probably show up from the static /dev entries, otherwise he can mount /dev once he's in lalaland | 21:13 |
| MBC | OK how | 21:13 |
| usser | MBC, i dont understand? through magic. What do you want to know? | 21:13 |
| wunnymush | ok, dayo_ | 21:13 |
| dayo_ | wunnymush: it sent you a private msg | 21:13 |
| [rip]oink | handala you wanna use a winbox thats on a faster connection without taking your computer there? | 21:13 |
| handala | [rip]oink, so its impossible | 21:13 |
| wunnymush | aha, tnx | 21:13 |
| MoLoot | whatev, plus computers are fun when you don't have to deal with crappy windows and having to pay for darn near anything | 21:13 |
| MBC | How do you do "suso" | 21:13 |
| [rip]oink | am i getting it right? | 21:13 |
| handala | [rip]oink, exactly | 21:14 |
| MBC | *sudo | 21:14 |
| fran69 | anybody knows how to turn off the graphic interface in ubuntu? | 21:14 |
| [rip]oink | handala can you just take your hard drive with you? | 21:14 |
| russia213 | Er2K: I used those commands...nothing happened | 21:14 |
| dayo_ | MBC: what are you trying to do? | 21:14 |
| [rip]oink | whats your hardware and the other machine's hardware | 21:14 |
| Er2K | russia213: No error messages, no output, ? | 21:14 |
| [rip]oink | you might be able to just boot from your disk ;) | 21:14 |
| etko_ | hey guys how can i disable ipv6? | 21:14 |
| russia213 | Er2K: none | 21:14 |
| MBC | dayo_: run something as administrator or as "sudo" | 21:15 |
| [rip]oink | handala is that an option? | 21:15 |
| stdin | MBC: it's a console command, if you want to launch a GUI app with administrator privileges press Alt-F2 and put "gksudo" before the application name | 21:15 |
| fran69 | ļ»æ anybody knows how to turn off the graphic interface in ubuntu? | 21:15 |
| handala | [rip]oink, i'm planning to download everything from a netcafe, dont think the owner gona like me booting a diffrent os | 21:15 |
| [rip]oink | fran69 | 21:15 |
| jrib | fran69: for what purpose? | 21:15 |
| whatev | i dont get what the difference is between apropos and whatis | 21:15 |
| quibbler | Er2K: he should have gotten an error message probably not 15 but something else | 21:15 |
| [rip]oink | ctrl+alt+f2 sends you to tty2 | 21:15 |
| Er2K | russia213: which part did nothing? I don't know what stage you are at. | 21:15 |
| eut | fran69, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 21:15 |
| usser | MBC, open terminal and type sudo command | 21:15 |
| handala | [rip]oink, cant i just build a list of all the packages to download | 21:15 |
| [rip]oink | login as your user and do: | 21:15 |
| shawnmstout | sudo = administrator or in linux terms its called root | 21:15 |
| dayo_ | MBC: what are u trying to run? usually, it's sudo <name of command/application> | 21:15 |
| fran69 | it is heavy for may pc | 21:15 |
| [rip]oink | what eut said | 21:15 |
| Er2K | russia213: if there was no response to the chroot stuff.... that is expected. | 21:16 |
| [rip]oink | but do it from the tty because it can freeze up sometimes otherwise | 21:16 |
| Er2K | do an ls / and see if you are in your real drive | 21:16 |
| stdin | don't use sudo with GUI applications, use gksu/gksudo | 21:16 |
| dereine | how can i install php xml? | 21:16 |
| [rip]oink | fran69 you might try the xubuntu then? its very good for lower hardware | 21:16 |
| russia213 | Er2K: I entered sudo bash then entered your commands none of them returned any output | 21:16 |
| [rip]oink | fran69 what cpu/ram/vid/etc do you have? | 21:16 |
| shawnmstout | sudo isnt a command the command comes after, sudo just makes it run as administrator | 21:16 |
| shawnmstout | example | 21:16 |
| handala | [rip]oink, are u talking to me | 21:16 |
| jrib | whatev: run Ā« whatis whatis Ā» and Ā« whatis apropos Ā» to see | 21:17 |
| shawnmstout | apt-get install whatever is the command | 21:17 |
| russia213 | Er2K: I'm talking about the chroot stuff | 21:17 |
| Er2K | russia: ok, that's what is expected | 21:17 |
| [rip]oink | handala yes i was in the moving hard drive bit | 21:17 |
| Er2K | do an ls / and see if you are on your drive | 21:17 |
| shawnmstout | whatever being the name of the file | 21:17 |
| [rip]oink | handala what hardware is your machine, and what hardware is the winbox ? | 21:17 |
| dereine | anyone? | 21:17 |
| eut | shawnmstout, sudo is a package in the repositories too :P | 21:17 |
| MBC | I am tring to run the Virtua;l box softwere | 21:17 |
| [rip]oink | MBC | 21:17 |
| shawnmstout | now sudo apt-get install whatever makes it run as root | 21:17 |
| MBC | yes | 21:18 |
| [rip]oink | make sure to add your user to the vboxuser or w/e group it is | 21:18 |
| [rip]oink | then log out and in | 21:18 |
| jrib | MBC: you don't need sudo to run virtual box. Have you installed virtual box yet? | 21:18 |
| shawnmstout | eut, yes but lets keep it basic for him | 21:18 |
| [rip]oink | may need to restart | 21:18 |
| dayo_ | MBC: why do u need to run vbox as root? | 21:18 |
| russia213 | Er2K: "bin cdrom etc initrd.img media opt rofs sbin sys usr vmlinuz boot dev home lib mnt proc root srv tmp var" | 21:18 |
| handala | [rip]oink, same hardware | 21:18 |
| [rip]oink | dayo_ a lot of default installs dont work quite rite untill the group bit is done manually | 21:18 |
| Suburban_Ed | Is PartedMagic just another way to use Gparted or is there more to it? | 21:18 |
| Er2K | russia: is that sdb or not? "ls /home" do you see *YOUR* home directory? | 21:18 |
| [rip]oink | handala then just put your hard drive in the windows machine and update | 21:18 |
| [rip]oink | ^_^ | 21:19 |
| MBC | I am running ubuntu in virtualbox and it said in the black window | 21:19 |
| [rip]oink | handala linux is very forgiving when changing hardware in my experience | 21:19 |

| ImSad | I'm trying to install steam using WINE, and it needs to be installed to C:\Program Files\Steam\ , but when I try to install it says "Cannot install to root directory". Can anyone help? | 21:19 |
| ubottu | MBC: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 21:19 |
| [rip]oink | MBC o: | 21:19 |
| [rip]oink | then that's sudo | 21:19 |
| [rip]oink | what are you trying to do with the ubuntu console installation? | 21:19 |
| Suburban_Ed | I'm in Parted Magic now because Gparted won't work, but all I can find is Gparted Partition Editor again | 21:19 |
| shawnmstout | imsad, wine is extremely buggy | 21:19 |
| ImSad | mhm | 21:19 |
| [rip]oink | ImSad try running winecfg first | 21:19 |
| russia213 | Er2K: Yes it is my home | 21:20 |
| [rip]oink | check what stream needs | 21:20 |
| ImSad | I tired that. | 21:20 |
| ImSad | tried* | 21:20 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: what do you mean by "won't work"? | 21:20 |
| Er2K | ok, russia...this is good. do the other commands now | 21:20 |
| shawnmstout | i believe it rights to the registry which linux has no registry | 21:20 |
| [rip]oink | then look on the ubuntuforums.org site for help because there are a lot of gamers there | 21:20 |
| shawnmstout | which might cause the problem | 21:20 |
| [rip]oink | if you can find a thread that looks promissing we can explain anything you dont understand | 21:20 |
| [rip]oink | or at least try to ;) | 21:20 |
| Suburban_Ed | soundray: It can't see my current partitions. Shows both of my drives as "unallocated" | 21:20 |
| ImSad | Okay, I've been googling for a while, but I'll keep searching for a bit. | 21:20 |
| [rip]oink | youve tried a bit? | 21:21 |
| Er2K | ImSad: Run winecfg, make sure C: drive is setup, then visit it in a shell and make sure "Program Files" is there and writable by you, etc. | 21:21 |
| [rip]oink | ok i'll break out the google then | 21:21 |
| shawnmstout | i havent had much luck with wine | 21:21 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: how did you create the current partitions? | 21:21 |
| MBC | <ubottu> <[rip]oink> <jrib> <stdin> <dayo_> :I am running ubuntu in virtualbox and it said in the black window this program must be run with administrator privileges. | 21:21 |
| shawnmstout | but ill admit i havent spent alot of time on it either | 21:21 |
| shawnmstout | i run windows and separate ubuntu boxes | 21:21 |
| shawnmstout | or a dual boot | 21:21 |
| [rip]oink | should be in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/ blah | 21:21 |
| [rip]oink | or something lik,e that | 21:21 |
| shawnmstout | no | 21:22 |
| * Er2K uses wine daily....but does not like it. I run TSE (http://www.semware.com) in it. I've finally gotten it working reasonably well, but wine leaves a bad taste in my mouth. | 21:22 | |

| Suburban_Ed | soundray: I created them when I first built my PC. I can't even recall how I did it. | 21:22 |
| shawnmstout | 1 se | 21:22 |

| yuri_ | hi, i want to buy an old beat up blackberry and use it as a modem for my laptop. any comments? | 21:23 |
| Frijolie | what file system should I partition an external HDD so both Windows and Linux can read/write to it? | 21:23 |
| Frijolie | does NTFS work? | 21:24 |
| dayo_ | MBC: and i think u're probably in need of admin in *Windows* not ubuntu, by the sounds of it | 21:24 |
| Er2K | yuri: I do that! Make sure the device has OS4.5. Bluetooth will work out-of-the-box purdy much, usb will need barry or xmblackberry to make ppp work | 21:24 |
| shawnmstout | fri, in what aspect? | 21:24 |
| soundray | Frijolie: NTFS works, but is proprietary | 21:24 |
| quibbler | Frijolie: yes | 21:24 |
| dayo_ | yuri_: no comment at this point. next question | 21:24 |
| yuri_ | Frijolie: yes, ntfs works for both but only windows can repair the partition | 21:24 |
| === _AshTray- is now known as AshTray- | ||
| shawnmstout | there is a tool that you can use for ntfs in ubuntu | 21:24 |
| [rip]oink | shawnmstout to show / as first char in xchat use double /: //omg shows as /omg | 21:24 |
| soundray | Frijolie: you can use ext3, but then you have to download an extra tool for Windows (e.g. ext2fsd) | 21:24 |
| === Xanthomryr is now known as Micsch | ||
| yuri_ | Er2K: is this reliabale or an ugly hack? | 21:24 |
| [rip]oink | shawnmstout not sure for irssi tho; but mirc is ctrl+enter iirc | 21:24 |
| Er2K | Frijolie: I've had issues with ntfs writes from linux, and issues with the ext2 driver for windows. I would try fat32 even...yes, that's ugly | 21:25 |
| Frijolie | it will be used for external back-ups (i.e. music, photos, etc) | 21:25 |
| Frijolie | Er2K, I thought about FAT32 but I have some larger movies wich are > 4GB | 21:25 |
| Er2K | yuri: Over bluetooth is perfect and easy, barry crashes on all of my machines, xmblackberry works okay, but is a gui app and takes some doing to script it | 21:25 |
| shubbar | I am doing a fresh installation of 8.04, and have the follwing option for preparing the disk: | 21:25 |
| kotan | bonsoir, premier fois. | 21:26 |
| shady | hello | 21:26 |
| rods | So, I'm not sure how to uninstall launchy since it doesn't show up in Synaptic Package Manager or in Add/Remove. I much prefer Gnome Do, but before I put that in I need to get rid of Launchy. Any ideas? | 21:26 |
| shubbar | make new partition for 8.04; or Guided - use entire disk ; or Manual. Which one should i choose? | 21:26 |
| soundray | Frijolie: I suggest you back up everything with Linux, even Windows data. Then you can use the best file system for large files and large contiguous reads and writes, which is currently XFS. | 21:26 |
| bluerayq | what application can stop ubuntu from looking like win 3.1? | 21:26 |
| quibbler | Frijolie: i have 2 external drives for music movies and backups both ntfs and no problems | 21:26 |
| burgua | Help please. I decided create partition for /tmp (1Gb). Will I have some troubles later? | 21:27 |
| Cpudan80 | How do I customize the visual effects in 8.10 ? | 21:27 |
| Cpudan80 | I have them set to "normal" | 21:27 |
| Cpudan80 | But is there some thing I can use to customize what normal is exactly? | 21:27 |
| [rip]oink | burgua if you make seperate partition for temp its got to be larger than the largest thing it might need | 21:27 |
| MBC | dayo_ : I don't think | 21:27 |
| Frijolie | so, sounds like it's a matter of personal preference | 21:27 |
| MBC | soeey | 21:27 |
| Er2K | bluerayq: switch to a different gtk theme....you can make it look like openwindows or vista or osx or whatever | 21:27 |
| [rip]oink | so if you encode dvd9's then you might need 20GB | 21:27 |
| MBC | *sorry | 21:27 |
| soundray | Frijolie: no | 21:27 |
| oneeyedelf1 | I don't like xfs, seems easily corrupted | 21:27 |
| Frijolie | i was going to go for ext3 but that would count out Windows | 21:27 |
| kotan | Graag hulp bij opwaarderen 7.10 >8.10 | 21:27 |
| [rip]oink | alternatively you can configure any application that uses that much /tmp to use another folder somewhere else most of the time | 21:28 |
| Frijolie | soundray, I've never used XFS | 21:28 |
| oneeyedelf1 | Frijolie: you can mount ext3 with windows | 21:28 |
| wunnymush | i like the function that force me password question, when i use NTFS in Ubuntu 8.10 | 21:28 |
| rods | So, I'm not sure how to uninstall launchy since it doesn't show up in Synaptic Package Manager or in Add/Remove. I much prefer Gnome Do, but before I put that in I need to get rid of Launchy. Any ideas? | 21:28 |
| soundray | Frijolie: it's a matter of technical limitations. ext3 is okay under Windows with ext2fsd | 21:28 |
| Fractured | ntfs ftw! | 21:28 |
| [rip]oink | Frijolie actually i can access ext2|3 just fine from winblowz | 21:28 |

| MBC | Can any give me a good link that tells me how to install the VBOXADDITIONS softwere? | 21:28 |
| shawnmstout | ntfs-config | 21:28 |
| shawnmstout | is the ntfs program u need | 21:29 |
| [rip]oink | shawnmstout i think windows support for ext3 is better than linux's support for ntfs | 21:29 |
| [rip]oink | far too often charactors in windows files/folders when loaded in linux kills the structure | 21:29 |
| bluerayq | I know vista is a piece of crap but it looks 10 times better than ubuntu. what app greatly improves ubuntu visually? | 21:29 |
| Sylphid | Frijolie, i hannot say that i have used it but you could try exfat | 21:29 |
| [rip]oink | creates files that cannot be removed without another format | 21:29 |
| Er2K | soundray: I would disagree. I've been down this road. The windows ext* driver can read files about 95% of the time.....ditto the ntfs driver for linux....both are only about 99% reliable, which is a scarily low number for a filesystem!!!!! | 21:29 |

| gsp2009 | hello folks. Can someone tell me where to learn about filesharing in ubuntu (between two ubuntu machines that is). Everything I find is about samba. | 21:31 |
| shady | hi | 21:31 |
| shady | what is this | 21:31 |
| shady | ?? | 21:31 |
| shady | i am new | 21:31 |
| Er2K | yuri_: I use a curve 8320 on t-mobile with my laptop and my wife's dellintosh. I have a dell latitude 131L, ubuntu 8.10. Have done it under 32 and 64 bit with identical successes and failures. ymmv. | 21:32 |
| Frijolie | I'm still at a loss here... | 21:32 |
| _VIM_ | !welcome | shady | 21:32 |
| ubottu | shady: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. | 21:32 |
| Frijolie | I've had each filesystem recommended to me | 21:32 |
| soundray | Er2K: okay, tell Frijolie about it... If it was my machine, I wouldn't consider anything other than ext3 or xfs, and only access them with Linux for backup and restore | 21:32 |
| shady | so here i can ask what i want live | 21:32 |
| audioHack | gsp2009: Windows File sharing is based on the "smb" protocol, The linux implementation of it is called Samba. | 21:32 |
| soundray | !ubuntu | shady | 21:33 |
| ubottu | shady: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 21:33 |
| _VIM_ | shady: as long as it's on topic for this channel yes | 21:33 |
| Er2K | soundray: You are preaching to the choir, my friend. I was consolidating a tb or so of media from around the house onto the XFS partition on the media server. | 21:33 |
| Frijolie | soundray, I would be the one performing all the backups from my Linux lappy. My wife is the one that uses Windows and has some photos that would need to be backed up mostly | 21:33 |
| shady | so how can i go to a specific channel | 21:33 |
| Er2K | soundray: I eventually used the ntfs driver to get everything I could, then transferred the remaining files with the drive on a real windows machine | 21:33 |
| audioHack | XFS? You know, I've never really looked into it. Was probably going to do 4 x 1TB in RAIDZ (ZFS) for my media server. | 21:33 |
| Frijolie | soundray, I guess I could just transfer the photos from her Windows lappy to my Linux comp and then backup/sync them from here | 21:33 |
| soundray | Frijolie: so why not backup the Windows data while you're booted into Linux? | 21:34 |

| Er2K | audioHack: XFS is the best for large files, and can be defragmented. It's been a dream for my mythcluster, but I haven't used it long enough to recommend it as a root or general purpose fs. | 21:34 |
| quibbler | rods: look in synaptic | 21:34 |
| soundray | Frijolie: you could of course partition the backup drive and have both NTFS and ext3 on it | 21:34 |

| Dante123 | hi all, setting up a dell inspiron laptop for a former student for typical uses of email, web browser, some music, etc. Any suggestions in terms of security (other than default) or antivirus/spyware is appreciated. What additional software or changes would you recommend so that this should be a trouble free computer for this person? Your help and advice is appreciated. | 21:35 |
| Frijolie | soundray, she just uses proprietary apps which require Window$ for her work | 21:35 |

| Jan| | Can you install ubuntu on a SATA hard drive and how would I do it? | 21:49 |
| russia213 | I get grub error 15, help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/115436/ | 21:49 |
| Suburban_Ed | soundray: I've backed it up already just in case. | 21:49 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, oh sorry... hmmmmmmmm... lemme think about that. | 21:49 |
| rods | quibbler: not sure why it wasn't showing up before, but its good now. Must have been the update. Did a general search instead of a quick search. Launchy showed up. All is good in the world. Appreciate the help! | 21:49 |
| Renfield | Ok, I have networking set up. My hard drive is mounted. Also, I can SSH into my Ubuntu minimal install setup. How, now, do I get data off of the disk? | 21:49 |
| Gnea | Jan|: the same way you install it to an IDE | 21:49 |

| soundray | Suburban_Ed: good. How is the machine running at the moment -- still booted to parted magic? | 21:50 |
| audioHack | Hm, I did a ubuntu install a few years ago, before Wubi existed because I couldn't boot from CD... Let me go to my notes Bram. | 21:50 |
| Renfield | It appears that scp is not available in the minimal install (though ssh was downloaded and configured). And when I try to scp from my other computer in through SSH, I just get: Failed to open terminal. | 21:50 |
| dayo_ | ua: try vlc or kaffeine. | 21:50 |

| Jan| | Gnea how do I know if VIA VT8237 is supported? | 21:51 |
| audioHack | Thanks Er2K | 21:51 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, ok. Did you put the CD in the drive and browse it's contents in another OS? | 21:51 |
| dayo_ | own: System-->Administration-->Users and Groups | 21:51 |
| Gnea | Jan|: what is that? a SATA controller? | 21:52 |
| own | psion, it creates a standard user only without any admin rights like opening "user and groups" | 21:52 |

| Gnea | Jan|: is that an Asus A8V motherboard? | 21:52 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: can you run 'fdisk -l' in it, and does it create sensible output? | 21:53 |
| Bram | gsp2009: No, but it does act strange here as well | 21:53 |
| Renfield | Is there a way for me to download scp into the minimal CDs environment or something? | 21:53 |
| psion | own: add the user to groups with usermod -G <groups> username | 21:53 |
| Renfield | Er the minimal install's | 21:53 |
| ikonia | Renfield: you'd have to re-master the minimal CD | 21:53 |
| ikonia | Renfield: so you'd need all the scp dependencies (ssl etc) | 21:53 |
| Renfield | ikonia: But it downloads other things from the net that it needs. | 21:54 |
| Er2K | russia213: I think there is a repair option on the cd boot menu? I don't have an unoccupied machine handy (dang kids...dang wife) to look | 21:54 |
| Suburban_Ed | soundray: It does give sensible output. Around 20 lines long. Should I post it? | 21:54 |
| Jan| | russia213 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297261 | 21:54 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, ok. Well it may be a bad disk. You will have to make sure that you can get an image onto a CD that works first. You should be able to browse the contents from XP or whatever. Then try and boot to it. | 21:54 |
| Suburban_Ed | Maybe a screenshot would be less obnoxious | 21:54 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: not here -- can you put it on http://paste.ubuntu.com ? | 21:54 |
| ikonia | Renfield: no it doesn't | 21:54 |
| Bram | gsp2009: well another ubuntu cd doesn't work either | 21:54 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: only if you don't have to type it all in. | 21:54 |
| Tonik | What's the point of enabling the "dapper-updates" repository before upgrading from 6.06 to 8.04? | 21:55 |
| ikonia | Renfield: it only downloads it if you are getting it real time, to include it on a livecd - you'd need to have it installed with all the working dependencies | 21:55 |
| bluerayq | anyone know why there is no kubuntu-desktop in my synaptics package manager? | 21:55 |
| gsp2009 | Did you make them both Bram? What did you use to burn the image? | 21:55 |
| Jan| | Gnea, yes it's an ASUS A8V Deluxe | 21:55 |
| soundray | Tonik: it's essential. If you don't, you can't upgrade. | 21:55 |
| ikonia | Tonik: bring it as up to date as possible as the jump from 6.06 to 8.04 is a big jump | 21:55 |
| Suburban_Ed | http://paste.ubuntu.com/115438/ | 21:55 |
| Renfield | ikonia: I don't need it included on a livecd. I just need it available during this install. | 21:55 |

| quibbler | russia213: are you editing the line correctly... | 21:55 |
| ikonia | Renfield: then just install it the same as any other package | 21:55 |
| Tonik | soundray: well, I missed that step and it's downloading new packages happily now | 21:56 |
| Er2K | audioHack: Took me a minute to find it, but this is the bible I used for XFS. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Optimizing_Performance#XFS-Specific_Tips If you are trying to optimize XFS for big-arse media files, that is probably the best concise resource on the net. | 21:56 |
| soundray | Tonik: it's not going to work, though | 21:56 |
| Bram | one is of ubuntu 8.4 I did get it from someone else, the other one I burned myself as an cd image and then iso 9090 (was one option with iso) in the program k3b | 21:56 |
| Renfield | ikonia: Oh, but I need it before installing, so that I may retrieve some data from my hard drive prior to installing. | 21:56 |
| ikonia | Renfield: then it need to be installed before you start the install | 21:56 |
| ikonia | Renfield: or included on the livecd as I said | 21:56 |
| ikonia | Renfield: I do'nt see why you need to copy files before you install | 21:57 |
| Flannel | Tonik: It *may* work, but hasn't been tested/verified to work. Dapper-updates + full up-to-date ensures a known configuration pre-upgrade | 21:57 |
| Suburban_Ed | Oh, forgot to ping your name. soundray I added it at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115438/ | 21:57 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: okay, fdisk seems to be able to read your first disk (/dev/sda)'s partitions at least. | 21:57 |

| Tonik | Flannel: i see | 21:57 |
| gsp2009 | Bram. Start over. If you can't read them in XP (I am assuming your drive struggles and "cruches") they are most likely bad. | 21:57 |
| Jan| | Gnea, yes it's an ASUS A8V Deluxe | 21:57 |
| Flannel | Tonik: Are you using update-manager-core? | 21:57 |

| Bram | gsp2009: can't I just download an installer? | 21:57 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, I will dig up a name of an XP util to burn the image. | 21:57 |

| gsp2009 | Bram, no. You have to boot to media to install. | 21:57 |
| === dereine is now known as dereine[OFF] | ||
| Renfield | ikonia: Well, then maybe i'm confused. There is a section "download installer components" I thought that meant that it literally downloads some software necessary for installation, and uses it as though it were already on a live CD. I thought maybe some other components could also be downloaded and used prior to installing on a hard drive. | 21:58 |

| MIrrorIMage | Thanks guys, I will try that | 21:59 |
| olibi | how can i run "mv .* .." on ubuntu 8.10 | 21:59 |
| Er2K | rj_: tar is just an archive format. File-roller will let you muck with it graphically, or "tar -xvf file" will extract it from the shell | 21:59 |
| Renfield | Oh, well. I'll just go out and buy 700Mb CDs later. I think the minimal CD is too minimal. | 21:59 |
| Gnea | Jan|: please, no dcc chat | 21:59 |

| soundray | MIrrorIMage: please don't use the instructions on ubuntu-tutorials.com -- they are outdated | 22:00 |
| etko | after disabling it everything got working | 22:00 |
| russia213 | redvamp128: why?* | 22:00 |
| redvamp128 | russia213: see pm | 22:00 |
| soundray | MIrrorIMage: use the medibuntu repository | 22:00 |
| ikonia | etko: no way ! | 22:00 |
| soundray | !medibuntu | MIrrorIMage | 22:00 |
| ubottu | MIrrorIMage: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 22:00 |
| Gnea | Jan|: no need to repeat yourself. have you tried installing it yet? | 22:01 |
| olibi | and runnung it returns :mv: cannot move `.' to `../.': Device or resource busy and mv: cannot move `..' to `../..': Device or resource busy | 22:01 |
| Jan| | Gnea yes it would not work | 22:01 |
| MIrrorIMage | soundray: which instructions should I follow then? Thanks | 22:01 |
| Gnea | Jan|: that's a bit too vague. any chance of clearing it up? | 22:01 |
| jrib | olibi: so? | 22:01 |
| Jan| | Gnea however if I tried to install debian it worked.. | 22:01 |
| soundray | MIrrorIMage: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype -- I favor the medibuntu method | 22:02 |
| etko | ikonia : i guess the problem vas caused by having ipv6 support in | 22:02 |
| MIrrorIMage | ubottu: I read that medibuntu will remove some packages, which is not a good thing | 22:02 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:02 |
| etko | openbsd which on a small network i haven't configured | 22:02 |
| ikonia | etko: I believe you - but I don't understand how as that should not effect anything | 22:02 |
| cockroach | hey, i'm looking for a place like snapshot.debian.net but for ubuntu, that is, a place to get older versions of specific packages. is there such a thing? | 22:02 |
| soundray | Hello Suburban_Ed -- is it possible that your second disk is not partitioned? | 22:02 |
| etko | and i don't know how to | 22:02 |
| jrib | olibi: it still moves .* to ... It just tells you that it couldn't move . and .. for obvious reasons | 22:02 |
| etko | and that propably got ubuntus ipv6 subsystem confused | 22:03 |
| Gnea | Jan|: it would be helpful if you could shed light on the exact problem(s) you ran into - simply stating that the sata controller was the problem doesn't say anything. do you have any evidence to back it up? any dmesg errors? | 22:03 |
| soundray | MIrrorIMage: medibuntu won't remove anything. Where did you read this? | 22:03 |
| olibi | jrib: ok. thanks. | 22:03 |
| Suburban_Ed | soundray: I don't see how that could be possible. My partitions are 100GB 100GB 200GB and 200GB and are on two 300 GB drives. So it has to be using both. | 22:03 |
| gsp2009 | Just a thought. I use skpe everyday and didn't install it from medibuntu repos. | 22:03 |
| * Debolaz is in love with foxit. | 22:04 | |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: okay, let me think | 22:04 |
| etko | ikonia : does ipv6 have precedence before ipv4 when routing? | 22:04 |
| ikonia | no | 22:05 |
| Jan| | Gnea http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885712 | 22:05 |
| ikonia | etko: as you have no ipv6 address there is nothing to route | 22:05 |
| soundray | gsp2009: the best advice is to get it from medibuntu, nevertheless. | 22:05 |
| etko | yah but openbsd has ipv6 enabled by default also | 22:05 |
| olibi | jrib: was looking for somethin like "ls -A |grep "^\." |xargs -i mv "{}" .." Thanks :D | 22:05 |
| etko | so maybe it was doing something with network packets | 22:05 |
| MIrrorIMage | soundray: I am looking for the link now. It was a comment on a medibuntu forum | 22:06 |
| etko | but it was nowhere mentioned it can cause such a problem and it is better to disable it on home network | 22:06 |
| etko | if you don't have clue about it | 22:06 |
| soundray | MIrrorIMage: I think you can safely forget that warning. | 22:06 |
| MIrrorIMage | soundray: Thanks man! | 22:07 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: I think I have to pull out of this. If it was my system, I'd try to rewrite the partition table with Windows tools, but I'm not familiar enough with Windows to instruct you how -- sorry | 22:08 |
| Gnea | Jan|: wow, so that happened last summer... have you tried 8.10? | 22:08 |
| Suburban_Ed | soundray: Okay, I'll do some research on it. Thanks for your help. | 22:09 |
| Jan| | Gnea not yet | 22:09 |
| Gnea | Jan|: it has a newer kernel, you should try it out | 22:09 |
| zaapiel | say im on kubuntu and want to install ubuntu what is the command? | 22:09 |
| Jan| | Gnea like I said debian worked fine and I find this weird since ubuntu is based on it | 22:09 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: just out of interest, and to confirm: gparted sees no partitions on /dev/sda either? | 22:10 |
| soundray | zaapiel: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' | 22:10 |
| Suburban_Ed | soundray: Right, Gparted shows both disks as "unallocated", seeing no partitions at all. | 22:10 |
| Jan| | Gnea, yeah will keep in mind to try it out | 22:10 |
| zaapiel | aptty | 22:10 |
| zaapiel | ty | 22:10 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: so there are three opinions in total: the one from gparted, the one from fdisk and the Windows one. This is really weird. | 22:11 |
| Suburban_Ed | Haha, I know | 22:11 |
| Gnea | Jan|: perhaps you've misunderstood what 'based on' actually means - yes, ubuntu uses the same package management system, but the packages, while some of them are rebranded from debian, are sourcefully different. therefore, ubuntu is not debian and different results are to be expected. | 22:11 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, you get it worked out? | 22:12 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: what you could do, if you trust your backup, is to just write the partitions with gparted (and destroy the current partitions) | 22:12 |
| Bram | gsp2009: no, I don't have any idea about what to do... | 22:13 |
| Suburban_Ed | soundray: That would render Windows dead though, right? I would need to reinstall it. | 22:13 |
| Bram | gsp2009: since I really can't make a cd (well it doesn't work) and there doesn't seem to be another way of installing | 22:13 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: I've got one other idea: there is a tool called gpart (not gparted) that reconstructs partition tables. This wouldn't destroy anything. | 22:14 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: a similar one is called testdisk (but I haven't used that one personally) | 22:14 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, ok. If you were to download the iso right now on windows, what would you use to burn it? | 22:14 |
| Suburban_Ed | soundray: Sounds good. I'll check it out. Is it a live boot kind of thing? | 22:15 |
| redvamp128 | gsp2009: a good free program to burn iso images is The Official ImgBurn Website <http://www.imgburn.com/> | 22:15 |
| Bram | gsp2009: I can't burn on windows, I did burn it in this ubuntu and then put it in windows, I did use a program called k3b | 22:15 |
| unixdawg | afternoon | 22:16 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: on the assumption that Windows just wrote partition tables that are in some way non-standard and are therefore inaccessible to gparted, these tools might help. -- Yes, I think there is a live CD version of gparted. If not, you can install it into a Ubuntu live system. | 22:16 |
| shawnmstout | whats the command to find out how much ram is installed | 22:16 |
| redvamp128 | gsp2009: that that is for windows. | 22:16 |
| JC_Denton__ | which software would you recommend for to remotely control my desktop on the local network? VLC? I'd obviously prefer software which would alter the desktop output to suit my resolution | 22:16 |
| shawnmstout | just want to make sure system is seeing it properly | 22:16 |
| pepperjack | shawnmstout: cat /proc/meminfo | 22:16 |
| MBC | I have a .sh file that I want to run, help? | 22:16 |
| Gnea | shawnmstout: free | 22:16 |
| pepperjack | shawnmstout: or free | 22:16 |
| gsp2009 | redvamp128, thanks. | 22:16 |
| shawnmstout | thanks | 22:16 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, so you have another linux machine? | 22:17 |
| Suburban_Ed | soundray: Okay, cool. I'll go try the goods out. Thanks again. | 22:17 |
| soundray | JC_Denton__: VNC (not VLC) | 22:17 |
| TelQuel | I have a dual boot system with a windows partition on top of my ubuntu install and I was just wondering what the best way was to go about formatting one of the partitions? | 22:17 |
| soundray | Suburban_Ed: good luck | 22:17 |
| redvamp128 | gsp2009: though it is recomended not to burn - images at speeds greater than 12x | 22:17 |
| JC_Denton__ | soundray: eh, that's what I meant | 22:17 |
| JC_Denton__ | soundray: little slip of the brain :) | 22:17 |
| shawnmstout | sweet thanks again | 22:17 |
| CoJaBo | How do I disable the "hardware drivers" option on the menu in Xubuntu? Seems clicking this causes the system to lock up. | 22:17 |
| Bram | gsp2009: yes, I have the one that I'm using now with ubuntu (8.10) And my windows one is full with virusses etc. so I want to make it ubuntu as well | 22:17 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: you can do a simple sudo mkfs.ext3 or whatever fstype so mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc2 or whatever but make really really sure the partition you format | 22:18 |
| MBC | I have a .sh file that I want to run, help? | 22:18 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, OH! I misunderstood. Sorry man. I thought you were on windows now and wanted to turf it for 8.10 | 22:18 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, brb. | 22:19 |
| redvamp128 | MBC: right click on the file-- choose properties-- then permissions then checkmark box for make it executible. | 22:19 |
| TelQuel | pepperjack, but formatting the windows partition won't break GRUB? I am going to reinstall windows but I want to make sure my nix partition is still intact. | 22:19 |
| pepperjack | MBC: open it with a text editor and look at the top line. itll say like #!/bin/sh or #!/usr/bin/bash or whatever so bash file.sh or just make it executable and then ./file.sh | 22:19 |
| soundray | JC_Denton__: Ubuntu comes with vino by default for the "server" side -- configure it through System-Preferences-Remote Desktop | 22:19 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, sounds to me like this is a K3b issue. brb | 22:19 |
| soundray | JC_Denton__: for a client, try vinagre | 22:19 |
| Bram | gsp2009: ok | 22:19 |
| redvamp128 | MBC: then it should be able to run-- double click and choose run in terminal | 22:19 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: no grub is installed to the hd mbr and it loads /boot/grub on the ubuntu partition you only need to maintain /boot partitition and mbr | 22:19 |
| JC_Denton__ | soundray: thanks | 22:20 |
| pronoy | !jre | 22:20 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 22:20 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: now if you format the ubuntu partition this will result in badness | 22:20 |
| MBC | <redvamp128> thanks | 22:21 |
| TelQuel | pepperjack, ok, so no matter how I format the windows partition GRUB should remain intact and it should be fine to simply reinstall windows and GRUB should recognize it and run as usual? | 22:21 |
| pronoy | is there a way to obtain .deb packages of JRE ? | 22:21 |
| slicslak | i would like to try kde 4.2. i have a default ubuntu install atm. what's the best way to get kde4? | 22:21 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: yep | 22:21 |
| unop | pronoy, why do you want the .deb ? to install the JRE? | 22:22 |
| redvamp128 | slicslak: try syntaptic package manger and install Kubuntu-desktop | 22:22 |
| russia213 | redvamp128: It worked...to a point | 22:22 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: so grub exists on mbr which the system loads then grub loads the stuff in /boot as long as the partition number remains the same youre fine | 22:22 |
| TelQuel | pepperjack, alright, is it possible to format the windows partition from inside ubuntu? | 22:22 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: yes very easy | 22:22 |
| pronoy | unop: i can access internet only through windows...long story....so i need .deb for JRE so that i can install your-freedom on int | 22:22 |
| pronoy | *it | 22:22 |
| unixdawg | when is kde4.2 going to be in pkgs | 22:22 |
| redvamp128 | slicslak: then log out-- choose options then window manger -- then - select KDE then log in choose just for session | 22:22 |
| unixdawg | is anyone working on it | 22:23 |
| Deamos | lo pepople | 22:23 |
| Deamos | damn, that was hell trying to do the registration | 22:23 |
| cdavis | I am hunting a usb scanner that will duplex and auto feed multi-pagers. I don't need a flatbet. I am looking through the supported hardware list but having a hard time figuruting out what is new and what is long since discontinued. Can anyone make a suggestion? | 22:23 |
| TelQuel | pepperjack, well I am very glad that I went with the dual boot config, alright so what is the command to format C: from inside ubuntu? (windows is C: simply due to convention) | 22:23 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: you can do a sudo fdisk -l to list all partitions then a sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/partitionnumber where partitionnumber might be sda3 or whatever | 22:23 |
| unop | pronoy, this should help - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OfflinePackageDownload | 22:23 |
| RichardWolfVI | Hey all, I'm having an annoying issue with duplicate devices. | 22:23 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: that is the command line option there are tools in the gui too | 22:24 |
| RichardWolfVI | My network devices ar shown four times on the panel. | 22:24 |
| DasE1 | pepperjack: gparted is a graphic tool for that | 22:24 |
| nonix4 | which risks should I expect if/when I try to use a Hardy /home with Ibex for a while and then reboot back to Hardy? | 22:25 |
| TelQuel | pepperjack, I generally prefer the terminal route as GUI is more buggy. Ok so my NTFS windows partition is the /dev/sda1 ... | 22:25 |
| TelQuel | pepperjack, but I want to format it for NTFS right? | 22:25 |
| pronoy | unop: DUDE i've been looking for this like forever.. !!! thanks !!! | 22:25 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: depends. what do you want to use it for? | 22:25 |
| Deamos | I have a quick question regarding file systems. I am looking for a setup to replace my current WHS to an open source solution. Well, as for the file system I was hoping for one that works with Storage Pooling. I add a new HDD and it adds it to the pool | 22:26 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, I am not overly familiar with K3b, but it sounds like it is making coasters. If you can't read the contents of the disk after you have burned it in either ubuntu or windows, something is up. Can you use another app to mount the iso? Also, did you verify the checksum after you downloaded before trying to burn it? | 22:26 |
| TelQuel | pepperjack, this is the windows part... so it needs to be NTFS I am pretty sure ... or technically FAT32. heh. | 22:26 |
| Renfield | Ok, I need some additional assistance. I managed to get ssh and scp running in my minimal install. I started copying some files off of the hard drive onto my remote file server. Then it stalled. Now, I can't even ping anything from the minimal install. | 22:26 |
| _VIM_ | nonix4: that doesnt sound to safe to me, have you concidered using virtualbox for testing ibex? | 22:26 |
| DasE1 | nonix4: none | 22:26 |
| tonsofpcs | I want to create a playlist file (in any format that VLC can use) automatically when the contents of a directory change. Is this possible or would it be easier for me to just set up a daily cron job that runs a script that I can also manually run to update this playlist? | 22:26 |
| moonwatcher | hi | 22:27 |
| Renfield | How do I determine why I have lost networking communications, and how do I get it back? | 22:27 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: ah i wouldnt format ntfs for windows with a linux tool if i knew of one. what i would do is use the windows install cd to do it. sorry didnt know you wanted ntfs | 22:27 |
| Bram | gsp2009: what is the checksum? And normally k3b just works fine for example with music | 22:27 |
| nonix4 | _VIM_: already kinda done that but no, I don't support commercialish VM software, rather prefer using ubuntu-supplied kvm :) | 22:27 |
| CoJaBo | Any suggestions for unfreezing the system, or is hard reset the only option? | 22:27 |
| moonwatcher | having issues with a P5B Asus board and its on board NICs | 22:27 |
| DasE1 | nonix: but why change it ? simply additional mount it on a dualboot | 22:27 |
| Deamos | Anyone have an idea other than doing a RAID0? | 22:27 |
| Renfield | moonwatcher: Oh, you too! | 22:27 |
| moonwatcher | can't seem to make them function at 1Gb | 22:27 |
| moonwatcher | is that a common thing? | 22:27 |
| TelQuel | pepperjack, ok so the windows install CD/DVD should be able to format the windows partition on its own anyway if I boot from CD correct? | 22:27 |
| Renfield | I just got a P5GC. | 22:27 |
| Renfield | And just now my network access is gone. | 22:28 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: yeah just dont let it use the whole hd and reformat everything | 22:28 |
| soundray | tonsofpcs: make the playlist a named pipe that does a ls on the directory each time it is read | 22:28 |
| nonix4 | DasE1: hmm, true... that'll be a lot safer :) | 22:28 |
| _VIM_ | nonix4: I hear ya, open-source is always a better choice if we can avoid the alternatives :) | 22:28 |
| Renfield | Oh, but this is only 10/100. | 22:28 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 22:28 |
| moonwatcher | th small thingy near the clock (network manager or something) is completely not sure whats going on | 22:28 |
| TelQuel | pepperjack, and that way it will do NTFS. Yeah, I won't. I wish there was a way to get a common partition for storage that would read in both OSes. | 22:28 |
| RichardWolfVI | nonix4: There's a open source version of VirtualBox on the repos | 22:28 |
| slicslak | redvamp128, right, so kubuntu-desktop uses kde4 now? | 22:28 |
| Accesshater | Good evening (Netherlands :p), i have some problems with my desktop and would like to have some help. Everything works fine, but my desktop doesnt have any icons. And i cant use my rightsmouse button on the desktop. But the wallpapers are working just fine. | 22:28 |
| Accesshater | If i go to my home directory and look in the Desktop folder i see that there are enough files, but the arent being displayed. | 22:28 |
| Accesshater | could someone help me | 22:28 |
| tonsofpcs | soundray: hmmm... interesting, how do I do that? | 22:28 |
| Accesshater | http://paste.ubuntu.com/115445/ this is what is being logged in .xessesion-log | 22:29 |
| nonix4 | RichardWolfVI: well KVM works well so I don't see a point in testing that out... unless it can do OpenGL :) | 22:29 |
| soundray | tonsofpcs: hold on, I have to look it up :) | 22:29 |
| _VIM_ | RichardWolfVI: that doesnt make them any less "commercialish" | 22:29 |
| _VIM_ | :) | 22:29 |
| moonwatcher | Renfield: is this some ubuntu crap or some Marvell crap? | 22:29 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: you can use fat32 that is fine for a media share | 22:29 |
| Bram | gsp2009: I didn't know it was that hard to install ubuntu... | 22:29 |
| tonsofpcs | thanks soundray :) | 22:29 |
| RichardWolfVI | nonix4: It does. And is WAY faster and more stable that kvm. | 22:29 |
| pepperjack | TelQuel: you can format fat32 in ubuntu. | 22:29 |
| RichardWolfVI | nonix4: kvm was hell for me | 22:29 |
| frg221 | join #firefox | 22:30 |
| frg221 | whoops | 22:30 |
| Renfield | moonwatcher: I'm not sure. I haven't gotten far enough to even get the desktop. I was just trying to scp files off of my hard drive prior to installation, and now I've lost all network communication. | 22:30 |
| Dillizar | how can i format a usb | 22:30 |
| nonix4 | RichardWolfVI: on h/w w/ VM support? | 22:30 |
| gsp2009 | Bram, it's not. You just may have a bad install, or the burn process didn't go so well. | 22:30 |
| DasE1 | Dillizar: gparted | 22:30 |
| TelQuel | pepperjack, alright, well thanks a lot. I am going to finish backing stuff up on DVD and then attempt the format. Thanks again. | 22:30 |
| dean | Dillizar: try mkfs | 22:30 |
| RichardWolfVI | nonix4: Yeah, Core 2 Quad Q6600 | 22:30 |
| Dillizar | DasE1, gparted and after that the path?? | 22:30 |
| timahvo1 | is there any way to fork rtorrent to the background so it doesn't have to run in a terminal | 22:30 |
| dean | Dillizar: also fdisk. gparted is a GUI for these | 22:30 |
| timahvo1 | ? | 22:30 |
| Bram | gsp2009: ok, thanks for all your help, I got to go now, but I'll try again | 22:30 |
| moonwatcher | Renfield: there seems to be some talks about this that date to 2007 | 22:31 |
| dean | timavo1: gnu screen | 22:31 |
| moonwatcher | non with resultions | 22:31 |
| RichardWolfVI | timahvo1: Create a launcher, I guess. | 22:31 |
| _VIM_ | timahvo1: does rtorrent & do anything? | 22:31 |
| DasE1 | Dillizar: see above, just run it, choose usb-drive.... | 22:31 |
| moonwatcher | just people bitching on and on and then the tickets closing | 22:31 |

| RichardWolfVI | aixenv: Try to reconfigure X | 22:32 |
| rjune_ | Are there instructions for upgrading to Ibex? | 22:32 |
| Stroganoff | timahvo1: you can also press ctrl+f6 and run it from there (use f7 to go back to X) | 22:32 |
| Bram | gsp2009: ok thank you very much! bye | 22:32 |
| soundray | tonsofpcs: still here? | 22:32 |

| Buttons | Hi, I'm using NDISWRAPPER for my wireless driver. It works most of the time, and most of the time it starts automatically when the boot. However sometimes it doesn't, when it doesn't I'll try to use modprobe ndiswrapper, but this always causes the terminal to hang. Rebooting usually fixes the issue, but it takes to long. I have put ndiswrapper in /etc/modules already. Does anyone have any futher suggestions? | 22:34 |
| ghostwalkz | Hi all, I have setup a VPN connection, it authenticates and connects fine, assigns me my ip, everything is good, but when I go to whatismyip.com, it still uses my home IP - anyone know how to get to the outside world via the VPN instead of my router upstairs? | 22:34 |
| dean | rjune_: Ok it's just that you asked about development versions so I thought you wanted Jaunty | 22:34 |
| soundray | tonsofpcs: do a 'mkfifo ~/music/playlist' and run 'while true ; do ls ~/music/dyndir >~/music/playlist ; done'. Now each time you do a 'cat ~/music/playlist', it gives you an up-to-date listing of files in ~/music/dyndir -- am I making sense? | 22:35 |
| rjune_ | ghostwalkz: you need to set your default route | 22:35 |
| RichardWolfVI | nonix4: it's not necessary | 22:35 |
| ghostwalkz | ahhaa what do I set it as? | 22:35 |
| eth01 | ghostwalkz: are you trying to ask why your IP is still the same? | 22:35 |
| rjune_ | the other end of the VPN | 22:35 |
| rjune_ | eth01: no, why he's routing over his LAN instead of his VPN | 22:35 |
| tonsofpcs | soundray: yea, i'm just not sure where to put "while true" ... | 22:35 |
| ghostwalkz | the other end as in ip.gotrusted.com | 22:35 |
| eth01 | rjune_: ic. | 22:36 |
| ghostwalkz | I am trying to hide behind the vpn. | 22:36 |
| RichardWolfVI | nonix4: If you don't mind closed source, there a Personal Edition which adds USB support, SATA and RDP | 22:36 |
| ghostwalkz | nothing dodgy lol | 22:36 |
| soundray | tonsofpcs: it's a one-liner -- everything between the single quotes | 22:36 |
| aixenv | nope didnt work | 22:36 |
| rjune_ | ghostwalkz: Doing so may cause problems in that changing your default route might cause your system to no longer be able to route to the vpn endponit. | 22:36 |
| aixenv | i guess i need to look at my video driver | 22:36 |
| === Buttons is now known as Buttons840 | ||
| tonsofpcs | soundray: right, but where do I run that? | 22:36 |
| eth01 | ghostwalkz: there is an easier way. VPN's aren't designed for people in your shoes, clearly ... ever considered a proxy? | 22:36 |
| tonsofpcs | just command line? | 22:36 |
| Lykkefeen | Can anyone recommend a tool to backup the entire harddrive? My install is performing excellent and I would not like to start from scratch if something goes wrong :) I would strongly prefer a plain and simple GUI-program that just enables me to save the partitions into a image file and to restore it if needed... | 22:37 |
| RichardWolfVI | aixenv: Which video hardware do you have? | 22:37 |
| rjune_ | Lykkefeen: tar, cpio, dd | 22:37 |
| ghostwalkz | too slow, I also run tor here but its slow as hell. | 22:37 |
| soundray | tonsofpcs: yes. You may want to open a separate window for it, because it has to run permanently. | 22:37 |
| dean | Lykkefeen: dd | 22:37 |
| adaptr | Lykkefeen: clonezilla, systemrescuecd | 22:37 |
| eth01 | ghostwalkz: not for people with 100mbit connections | 22:37 |
| RichardWolfVI | Lykkefeen: Ghost copies are the best for that | 22:37 |
| Cherepok | hot | 22:37 |
| RichardWolfVI | Lykkefeen: I remember CloneZilla | 22:37 |
| rjune_ | eth01: How do you know what he wants to determine a VPN is wrong for him? | 22:37 |
| Renfield | So any ideas on what I can do to get my network back? | 22:37 |

| ghostwalkz | brb gonna try that default route answer. | 22:39 |
| GSF1200S | yeah, well, do they use standard nvidia drivers? | 22:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | rjune: i'm not sure if i'd recommend envy to anyone.. | 22:39 |
| GSF1200S | like im looking at this card, which ill be running 2 of | 22:39 |

| jeroen__ | @cristi if you are using Evolution 32bit and did a backup of your mails it wont work in 64 bit | 23:04 |
| cristi | jrib: i even tried to run the installer in command line and it simply exists with no error, even though that occours at 80%\ | 23:04 |
| RichardWolfVI | nothing? | 23:04 |
| RichardWolfVI | aww | 23:04 |
| RichardWolfVI | bye then | 23:04 |
| jrib | cristi: you mean you have tried the alternate cd? | 23:04 |
| zash | adi1: if you press alt+f2 and type "xev" and check the run in terminal checkbox and run that | 23:05 |
| zash | adi1: and then vertscroll in the white box that popps up | 23:05 |
| jeroen__ | thanks ! | 23:05 |
| adi1 | zash : i have never dealt with "xev" | 23:05 |
| cristi | jeroen__: i did a backup on one of those partitions, and it was on 32 bit before. | 23:05 |
| adi1 | how to do this? | 23:05 |
| jeroen__ | @cristi well if you want to import it it wont work | 23:06 |
| jeroen__ | i tried it and failed | 23:06 |
| zash | adi1: run in terminal | 23:06 |
| cristi | jeroen__: however i didn't use evolution, i simply created a new partition, moved my ex home and resize things again | 23:06 |
| adi1 | zash: I have this event tester all white | 23:06 |

| slide | I just installed ubuntu and my wired connection works but the wireless doesnt seem to detect anything. Ubuntu installed proprietary drivers for the Broadcom wireless card but still nothing happens. can anyone help? | 23:08 |
| zash | adi1: if you run it in a terminal you should get a box with lots of text and a white box with a black square | 23:09 |
| jeroen__ | @slide try to get acces while in wired mode | 23:09 |
| TheLastDodo | I don't believe so, although there's likely a more general netbook channel. | 23:09 |

| jeroen__ | @slide duh offcourse sorry im a little bit tired so forgive me | 23:10 |

| ubottu | cristi: 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 | 23:11 |

| adi1 | zash: but i cant understand much | 23:12 |
| selocol | linny: #alsa | 23:12 |
| stefg | cristi: if the installer doesn't finish, grub won't get installed... did you really wait long enough for the installer ? it downloads additonal language pack during install, which can be time consuming if you havn't lots of bandwidth | 23:12 |
| linny | hehe | 23:12 |
| slide | ivancho: that page doesnt show anything about Intrepid | 23:12 |

| selocol | keen_: graphics card drivers installed? | 23:13 |
| ivancho | have to go | 23:13 |
| ivancho | bye | 23:13 |
| zash | adi1: you should be getting ButtonRelease events when you scroll | 23:13 |
| cristi | stefg: i used the "ubiquity" command | 23:14 |
| stefg | cristi: then it's hardware check time... memtest, cd self test... | 23:14 |
| keen_ | selocol: i just did a fresh install of intrepid and installed the restricted nvidia drivers | 23:14 |
| adi1 | zash: here is what i see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115472/ | 23:14 |
| selocol | keen_: what error are you getting | 23:14 |
| keen_ | selocol: however i had to edit my xorg.conf file and add my card's busid to get it working...thats is the only wierd thing i had to do | 23:14 |
| cristi | stefg: uf, can't we try install grub manually? i think that is the problem | 23:15 |
| keen_ | selocol: just says "desktop effects could not be enabled" | 23:15 |
| zash | adi1: this is what normal scrolling should give: http://p.zash.se/JvVW0g.txt | 23:15 |
| adi1 | zash: when i scroll horizontal bar i get event notify | 23:15 |
| keen_ | selocol: also i just noticed when i type "compiz --replace" into the terminal i get multiple errors saying "segmentation fault" | 23:16 |
| stefg | cristi: i doubt that.. if the installer quits you'll have a corrupt system anyway. not much use to fix grub just to find out yourn system doesn't work. | 23:16 |
| cristi | stefg: and how do i do the tests? | 23:16 |
| stefg | cristi: teh Live CD hs a selftest feature for the CD, and it has a memtest | 23:16 |
| stefg | !cdcheck | 23:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cdcheck | 23:17 |
| gioacchino | ciao | 23:17 |

| adi1 | zash: so inside the small wihte window i sholud place the pointer from the touchpad right? | 23:20 |

| cristi | stefg: i have some saved that on the partition that i was going to mount in /home, could that interfere? it's from the ex 32 bit version | 23:21 |
| porter1 | themiddleman, flash is much better | 23:21 |
| porter1 | Flash is unstable on 64 | 23:21 |

| themiddleman | porter1, i cant use 32 bit flash in 64 bit ubuntu? | 23:22 |
| cristi | porter1: you can download flash 10 from their site | 23:22 |
| stefg | cristi: not likely... filesystem is filesystem... 64 or 32 bit | 23:22 |
| porter1 | cristi' yaeh' and it's unstable | 23:22 |
| adi1 | zash: yes this is the window where I should place the pointer from touchpad | 23:22 |
| themiddleman | i thought you could use 32 bit firefox and 32 bit flash? | 23:22 |
| themiddleman | ill google stiff, hold on | 23:22 |

| ectospasm | and downgrading to the 2.6.27-9 kernel didn't fix it. | 23:25 |
| adi1 | zash: i think i got this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115475/ | 23:25 |
| ectospasm | Squidley_Spooch: tonyyarusso asked which version of Ubuntu I was using, not my kernel version (-; | 23:25 |
| tonyyarusso | ectospasm: ah, nvm - it does still print SMP in uname, even though that's not in the kernel name now. Carry on. | 23:25 |

| SherlawkDragon1 | DVA5912> I don't know, as I said, any one of them should work, unless there's something special about it... | 23:32 |
| Necrathex | yea, so every mp3 player has 'podcast support' | 23:32 |
| zash | adi1: probably easier if you open a terminal and run xev > afile, do some scrolling in the test-window, close it and paste the file | 23:32 |

The name of the theme, Mire v2 grime doesnt appear in the list of themes in the user interface preferences. but it appears in the list of available styles in the window manager. so my question: are those themes at deviantart actually just window decorations or what? w | 23:35 |
| chris_xfce | hen i inspect the zip file, there's p.ex. the wallpaper missing, etc. | 23:35 |

| adubz | well i type xmms2 in terminal and it just shows command line options | 23:38 |

| adubz | yes it does | 23:40 |
| adubz | thats what it says | 23:40 |
| adubz | so i need just xmms | 23:40 |
| adubz | and its not on the repositories | 23:40 |
| Frijolie | I'm trying to back up applications/files from my local machine to an external HDD in rsync (open to other options) and when I perform the rsync I get permissions erorrs | 23:41 |
| chibiace | adubz: i dont think it has a gui | 23:41 |
| adubz | oh the xmms2 | 23:41 |
| adubz | it doesnt | 23:41 |
| adubz | i guess i need xmms | 23:41 |
| ShakaGoldSaint | hi there, i'm trying to use chntpw but it seems that it always launches the registry editor and i'm not using the -e parameter, is this normal?... also, i just found out abou this tool 20 minutes ago, all howtos seem to work like magic but here it prompts me to what it seems to be the registry editor all the time =/ | 23:41 |
| adubz | and i dont see it on the repository | 23:41 |
| DVA5912 | Does this look as if it would be a good alternative to my 8 gb zune? http://www.amazon.com/Touch-Screen-MP4-Player-8GB/dp/B001AKVCSS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top | 23:42 |
| chibiace | adubz: dont you like muine, banshee or rhythmbox etc? | 23:42 |
| brandon_ | I saw an article on digg about a dock similar to OS X, can anyone tell me what dock that is? | 23:42 |
| === brandon_ is now known as slide | ||
| adubz | ive used xmms for years | 23:42 |
| adubz | its kinda like winamp | 23:42 |
| parthbakshi | brandon: awn ,gnome-do | 23:42 |
| freazer | Frijolie: the obvious fix is to run rsync with sudo.. but I don't think you want that otherwise you wouldn't be asking ^^ what are the write permissions like on the external drive you've setup? | 23:42 |
| slide | parthbakshi: yea that was it, thanks | 23:42 |
| adubz | never used muine banshee or rhythmbox | 23:42 |
| Rory | GNOME/Nautilus errors will not let me see the clock/trash can/open up many apps, no one seems to have the real solution for ubuntu 8.1 | 23:42 |
| ldlework | I am running Intrepid Ibex with the Broadcom STA drivers. I am getting horrible packet loss inside of Urban Terror. I have tried with and without the proprietary drivers and I still get this despite the proprietary ones seem to perform slightly better | 23:43 |
| adubz | would be cool to have xmms | 23:43 |
| Frijolie | freazer, yeah I don't want to use 'sudo' becuse won't that change the ownership? I'm not sure about the permissions on the external drive. I've just formatted and partitioned the drive 5 minutes ago using gparted to ext3 | 23:43 |
| adubz | :) | 23:43 |
| zash | adi1: your touchpad does not seem to give out scroll-events? | 23:44 |
| freazer | Frijolie: the likely candidate is the way you're mounting the external drive - does it have an entry in your /etc/fstab and can we see it? | 23:44 |
| ldlework | Anyone else play Urban Terror or get packet loss in other game? | 23:44 |
| chibiace | adubz: if apt-get install xmms doesnt work look here http://packages.debian.org/ | 23:44 |
| xm89 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/115482/ - why Xorg stops work sometimes, when i am opening video from totem-xine ? | 23:45 |
| ikonia | chibiace: that's debian repo's not ubuntu | 23:45 |
| Frijolie | freazer, no entry in /etc/fstab. it was automagically mounted when plugged in to my USB port | 23:45 |
| chibiace | ikonia: i dont think xmms is in ubuntu anymore. :S | 23:45 |
| ikonia | Frijolie: hal and dbus does this | 23:45 |
| ikonia | chibiace: its not | 23:45 |
| adi1 | zash: i had hardy 8.04.1 and it worked all ok since 2 days ago | 23:45 |
| f0rmat | I am having problems with the ubuntu partition editor on the 8.10 installation disk :S it doesn't show any partitions | 23:46 |
| sav | how can I know which compilation parameters AND "./configure" (if applicable) parameters were used when compiling a package? | 23:46 |
| chibiace | ikonia: its in the debian repo though | 23:46 |
| adi1 | now in hardy 8.04.2 it wont work | 23:46 |
| Frijolie | ikonia, right, so there would be no entry in /etc/fstab right? | 23:46 |
| ikonia | chibiace: so ? | 23:46 |
| ikonia | Frijolie: correct | 23:46 |
| ikonia | Frijolie: but there would be in mtab | 23:46 |
| adi1 | something has change in gnome or something else | 23:46 |
| ikonia | (after it's mounted) | 23:46 |
| Frijolie | ikonia, /etc/mtab? never heard of it | 23:46 |
| thebloggu | can i set a maximize margin in gnome ? | 23:47 |
| adi1 | zash: but not in firefox or in my touchpad | 23:47 |
| Frijolie | freazer, /dev/sdb1 /media/disk ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal 0 0 (/etc/mtab) | 23:47 |
| vihri | Good evening all, could anybody advise me how can I get a recursive filelisting in Nautilus? | 23:47 |
| adi1 | neither in xorg.conf | 23:47 |
| Rory | GNOME/Nautilus errors will not let me see the clock/trash can/open up many apps, no one seems to have the real solution for ubuntu 8.1 | 23:47 |
| adi1 | there is some thing new in this distro that mess all | 23:47 |
| Frijolie | ikonia, thanks i've learned something today. These are ones that are automatically mounted (usb,firewire,etc)? | 23:48 |
| ikonia | Frijolie: any hot plug device, | 23:48 |
| Frijolie | ikonia, and not permanent internal HDD, Optical media, etc | 23:48 |
| zash | adi1: weird | 23:48 |
| ikonia | Frijolie: well some of them well yes | 23:48 |
| thebloggu | can i set a maximized margin in gnome | 23:49 |
| adi1 | zash: before i used to go mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action and change the value from "0" to 2 | 23:49 |
| thebloggu | ? | 23:49 |
| Frijolie | ikonia, ok thanks. Ok so how are they mounted (what permissions/ownership)? | 23:49 |
| adi1 | zash and i cloud go back/forward in touchpad | 23:49 |
| ikonia | Frijolie: normally with the current user logged in, and the permissions on the file system are taken from the file ssytem | 23:49 |
| adi1 | zash; now it wont work anymore | 23:49 |
| adi1 | :) | 23:49 |
| zash | adi1: any recent updates? | 23:50 |
| uni4dfx | join #wine | 23:50 |
| Frijolie | ikonia, I've partitioned and formatted in gparted (which required sudo password) my external USB drive | 23:50 |
| andrew__ | hey | 23:50 |
| uni4dfx | sory bout that | 23:50 |
| adi1 | zash: besides 8.04.1 to 8.04.2 nop. | 23:50 |
| thebloggu | can i set a maximized margin in gnome ? | 23:50 |
| ikonia | Frijolie: "ok" | 23:50 |
| adi1 | zash: firefox is the same and hardware is the same | 23:51 |
| Frijolie | ikonia, so does that mean that the filesystem's owner is root? | 23:51 |
| andrew__ | just a quick question, im getting errors when trying to compile applications as a normal user, using 8.10 and i have gcc and build essentials installed at the current versions. but fails to compile anything (even a simple hello world application) unless im root then it works fine | 23:51 |
| ikonia | Frijolie: yes, if you've not changed it | 23:51 |
| adi1 | zash: oh maybe the gtouchpad? | 23:51 |
| Frijolie | the properties in Nautilus, "could not be determined"... | 23:52 |
| adi1 | zash: i think i found :) | 23:52 |
| freazer | Frijolie: open a terminal and type: cd /media/ and then ls -l - is your ./disk folder writable by you? feel free to paste that line here | 23:53 |
| Rory | GNOME/Nautilus errors will not let me see the clock/trash can/open up many apps, no one seems to have the real solution for ubuntu 8.1 | 23:53 |
| Frijolie | freazer, drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-02-07 15:03 disk | 23:53 |
| adi1 | zash: this app for control touchpad have an option to enable horizontal scroll | 23:53 |
| Frijolie | freazer, root owner root group! d'oh! | 23:53 |
| adi1 | i will disable it | 23:53 |
| adi1 | let see.. | 23:53 |
| juandaviid | EspaƱol? | 23:54 |
| unixdawg | ok | 23:54 |
| sav | how can I know which compilation parameters AND "./configure" (if applicable) parameters were used when compiling a package? | 23:54 |
| Frijolie | freazer, so I need to 'chown' it right? | 23:54 |
| andrew__ | just a quick question, im getting errors when trying to compile applications as a normal user, using 8.10 and i have gcc and build essentials installed at the current versions. but fails to compile anything (even a simple hello world application) unless im root then it works fine, anyone got any ideas? | 23:55 |
| freazer | Frijolie: it can't hurt to try! chown -R youruser:yourgroup media - to recursively change the entire drive (you said it was freshly formatted) to your permissions | 23:55 |
| ikonia | andrew__: depends on the error | 23:55 |
| thebloggu | can i set a maximized margin in gnome ? | 23:56 |
| freazer | Frijolie: and if you want other users in your group to be able to write to it, do: chmod -R g+w media | 23:56 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| freazer | Frijolie: oops! with a sudo preceding those of course ^^ | 23:56 |
| andrew__ | well for a simple hello world application i get a load of errors regarding libraries | 23:57 |
| andrew__ | eg /usr/include/stdio.h:34:21: error: stddef.h: No such file or directory | 23:57 |
| ikonia | andrew__: pastebin the hello_world.c and the error on compile in a pasteinb | 23:57 |
| andrew__ | compile as root fine | 23:57 |
| andrew__ | ok doke | 23:57 |
| ikonia | andrew__: you're missing basic libraries | 23:57 |
| ikonia | andrew__: basic headers sorry | 23:58 |
| andrew__ | ikonia: obviously im not if i can compile as root perfectly fine | 23:58 |
| Frijolie | freazer, sorry, I'm new to this linux admin stuff..i'm still GUI bound. what is the suggested way to handle groups? | 23:58 |
| ikonia | andrew__: then it's permissions | 23:58 |
| ikonia | andrew__: check the permissons on the headers it's complaining about | 23:58 |
| === garrett__ is now known as Squidley_Spooch | ||
| kjell | Frijolie: You dont want to use GUIs for user administration? | 23:59 |
| ikonia | Frijolie: use the user admin gui | 23:59 |
| ikonia | kjell: why not - it's perfectly acceptable | 23:59 |
| kjell | ikonia: It was a question. | 23:59 |
| Frijolie | hehe | 23:59 |
| ikonia | Frijolie: system->administration->users and groups menu from the drop down on the top of your screen | 23:59 |
| andrew__ | ikonia: all my headers / libs have -rw-r--r-- 1 root root | 23:59 |
| kjell | ikonia: not a statement | 23:59 |
| ikonia | kjell: apologies | 23:59 |
