| Frijolie | kjell, ikonia, thanks | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ikonia | andrew__: show me ls -la on the stdio.h | 00:00 |
| freazer | Frijolie: sorry there isn't always a gui way to do it :-( I'm frustrated with that often myself - on fresh Ubuntu installs I add myself to the 'users' group and set that as my default, all new users I also add, if you aren't using multiple then you can ignore the :yourgroup and just do sudo chown -R yourusername ./media | 00:00 |
| andrew__ | ikonia: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31053 Jan 9 14:08 stdio.h | 00:00 |
| Frijolie | is there a suggested way to handle groups, I have 30+ pre populated groups in here... | 00:00 |
| andrew__ | as a normal user, i can read the files fine | 00:00 |
| Frijolie | isn't it smarter--security wise--to have fewer groups? | 00:01 |
| andrew__ | and to compile you shouldnt need write permissions on headers | 00:01 |
| ikonia | andrew__: look inside stdio.h see what else it references, one of the files it's referencing | 00:01 |
| ikonia | andrew__: one of the files it's referecing must have the wrong permissions | 00:01 |
| kjell | Frijolie: It depends on what you want to do. If you want to restrict people from using commands etc. it's wise to have groups for that. | 00:01 |
| freazer | Frijolie: lots of applications and services have their own groups, each has very limited permissions - it's actually fine and necessary by the default install to have quite a lot | 00:01 |
| owner_ | W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 60D11217247D1CFF | 00:01 |
| owner_ | what does that mean? | 00:01 |
| kjell | owner_: The public key is not available. | 00:02 |
| Frijolie | freazer, kjell, so one user may be a member of multiple groups--to handle access/permissions to various applications | 00:02 |
| owner_ | it said something about a synaptic app already being open also but thre isn't one | 00:02 |
| owner_ | how can I see what is running other than on the taskbar? | 00:02 |
| kjell | owner_: in the terminal run ps -a | 00:02 |
| sjefen6 | Does anyone know how to open sda1 (ntfs) in xubuntu? | 00:03 |
| sjefen6 | (live cd) | 00:03 |
| kjell | owner_: or ps -e | 00:03 |
| Dante123 | hi all, installed ubuntu 8.10 on Dell Inspiron 1501 with 1gb ram. It is using open source video driver, but I see under restricted drivers there is an ATI/AMD proprietary driver. Should I use this? Will it work better? What do you recommend? | 00:03 |
| kjell | owner_: if you want to filter it you can run ps -e | grep firefox | 00:03 |
| kjell | owner_: to retrieve firefox in the list | 00:03 |
| Mba7eth | My home ubuntu box is have IP from DHCP pool by ISP. How can i keep knowing my IP even if the address changed.... I main want to ip to telnet ? | 00:03 |
| kjell | Mba7eth: run ifconfig in terminal | 00:04 |
| owner_ | it says | 00:04 |
| owner_ | PID TTY TIME CMD | 00:04 |
| owner_ | 7284 pts/1 00:00:00 ps | 00:04 |
| kjell | owner_: only that? if you ran ps -e? | 00:04 |
| freazer | Mba7eth: I recommend dyndns.org or some other dynamic utility - you can get a URL like Mba7eth.dyndns.org that will always point to your computer - there are tools that can run as a service on your ubuntu machine that will keep that website up to date | 00:04 |
| Mba7eth | freazer: can you mention a tool plzzz :) | 00:05 |
| freazer | Frijolie: FYI there are three tiers to file access, user level, group level, and "other"=everyone - there's rwx for each r=read, w=write, x=execute(as in programs) - yes users can be apart of multiple groups, but I think files can only be associated with a single group - if you only want to backup on your current account it's fine to change the ownership of that media folder to just your username, but leave the group as root (whic | 00:05 |
| owner_ | ok it all kinds of stuff, what am I looking for? | 00:06 |
| kjell | owner_: I don't know? Why do you want to see the processes? | 00:06 |
| kjell | owner_: Do you want to terminate a process or something? | 00:06 |
| owner_ | it said I couldn't authentic or update because a synaptic app was already running | 00:06 |
| kjell | owner_: It's not? | 00:07 |
| owner_ | maybe a synaptic process, but I don't see it anywhere | 00:07 |
| freazer | Mba7eth: I use ddclient http://ddclient.wiki.sourceforge.net/ to update - it has support for a number of dynamic dns websites -- dyndns.org is currently annoying me because it e-mails me once a month when my IP doesn't change | 00:07 |
| kjell | owner_: It could be like, apt-get aswell I think. | 00:07 |
| Frijolie | so, it would not be safe to delete all of these groups besides root and user? | 00:07 |
| BlueEagle | owner_: Has synaptic finished uncleanly? Have you got any installations using other apt-based methods running? | 00:07 |
| Mba7eth | freazer: thanks | 00:07 |
| owner_ | yeah | 00:08 |
| freazer | Frijolie: I'd advice against it ^^ - trust Ubuntu to be setup the way it needs to be | 00:08 |
| kjell | owner_: make sure all apt-get's and so on is finished installing. | 00:08 |
| owner_ | hw? | 00:08 |
| andrew__ | ikonia: ok all my libs / headers have exactly the same permissions, but i have noticed that stdio.h includes a few files that exist in subfolders of the include directory but arent specified like that in the stdio.h file (surely that would mess things up for all users even root? if it was a problem?) | 00:08 |
| owner_ | HOW | 00:08 |
| owner_ | caps | 00:08 |
| Dante123 | hi all, installed ubuntu 8.10 on Dell Inspiron 1501 with 1gb ram. It is using open source video driver, but I see under restricted drivers there is an ATI/AMD proprietary driver. Should I use this? Will it work better? What do you recommend? | 00:09 |
| BlueEagle | mba7eth: It has been my experience though that after pointing a domain to my box the number of port scans and brute force attack attempts increase. Be sure to have a good firewall running and you may want to concider port knocking on remote access servers like ssh. | 00:09 |
| kjell | Dante123: I would use it. | 00:09 |
| moonwatcher | anyone has problems with Marvel 88E8056 cards under 8.10 | 00:09 |
| freazer | andrew_: the only reason you should be having that issue is that your lib or important .h headers were not setup as rx-r--r-- (the important thing being that 3rd r in the 7th dash position) | 00:09 |
| moonwatcher | i think the latest kernel broke something | 00:09 |
| sjefen6 | How can I browse a ntfs patition on a live cd? | 00:10 |
| owner_ | kjell-how to make sure all apt-get's finished? | 00:10 |
| moonwatcher | its completely messed up | 00:10 |
| andrew__ | freezer, well all my libs and headers have those permissions | 00:10 |
| kjell | Dante123: By not using propertary software is for some people an ideology question. | 00:10 |
| Frijolie | freazer, I don't remember Ubuntu prompting me for which group I preferred to be in during install | 00:10 |
| Frijolie | freazer, do they just create a new group by your username and set that as your default? | 00:10 |
| kjell | owner_: I don't know. Check your terminals and so on. If you don't find anything I think you will be back on track faster if you just do a reboot. | 00:10 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: any particular kind of "completely messed up" or just _completely_ messed up (ie, the driver files are garbled. | 00:10 |
| owner_ | kjell-good point, thx | 00:11 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: well its refusing to function at 1Gb | 00:11 |
| redvamp128 | Frijolie: yes -- it defaults to user -- because you can gksu or sudo to obtain root access. | 00:11 |
| kjell | owner_: no problem, good luck! | 00:11 |
| moonwatcher | even when lshw says it does | 00:11 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: But it does work at lower speeds? | 00:11 |
| kjell | owner_: no problem, good luck! | 00:11 |
| freazer | Frijolie: yes ^^ I always chown my own /home/usern folder to the :users group and then reassign myself to that and delete the group that ubuntu created for just my username - we're getting pretty side tracked tho.. did changing the owner of your media drive away from root work for rsync? | 00:11 |
| moonwatcher | and the little thingy near the clock (network manager or something) claims its "not managed" | 00:12 |
| Frijolie | redvamp128, I know about the sudo/gksudo to gain root privileges but was wondering what default group you're placed in | 00:12 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: yes it gives me 2MB/s | 00:12 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: That is the case when the device is defined in your interfaces. | 00:12 |
| asingha | msg nickserv identify | 00:12 |
| redvamp128 | Frijolie: User (but is a group with your user name) | 00:12 |
| Frijolie | freazer, yeah I did change owner/group to <username>:<username> | 00:12 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: maybe i can pasebin some stuff instead of tryign to explain in lame words? | 00:13 |
| freazer | Frijolie: I'm reading that rsync runs as "nobody" but default and that you might - I'd definately check the config preferences for it if you are still having issues | 00:13 |
| Frijolie | redvamp128, oh I just changed to the "user" group and deleted my <username> group | 00:13 |
| BrettS | guys | 00:13 |
| Cody | What is the operating sysem os x ? | 00:13 |
| Frijolie | redvamp128, for my personal account | 00:13 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: its an ASUS P5B Deluxe with latest BIOS, has 2 onboard NICs | 00:13 |
| freazer | Cody: proprietary macintosh os x, I don't think you can buy it separately without buying a mac - despite that it runs on Intel architecture now | 00:14 |
| BrettS | I'm trying to install linux graphics drivers for my intel 965g card. I am looking at this site, can someone help me... http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html | 00:14 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: http://pastebin.com/m4d066925 | 00:14 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: Well, first off one would have to try to figure out what you would pastebin. And since you're refering to the network-manager-applet as "the little thing near the clock" we'll need to get the basics straight first. | 00:14 |
| Cody | freazer: I have a slight problem. I want my router to find wireless networks and not my computer. How do i do that? | 00:15 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: we dont need to go all the way to basics | 00:15 |
| moonwatcher | i have a CS degree from a respectable Uni :) | 00:15 |
| moonwatcher | and about 3 years of linux | 00:15 |
| andrew__ | freazer: ive even gone to the legnths now of chmod all the files in my include directory to 644 (except folders) to make sure they are all correct, and still getting errors when compiling as users but not when as root | 00:15 |
| moonwatcher | its just that this always worked out of the box, never got around ro dealing with it | 00:15 |
| moonwatcher | i mean networking | 00:16 |
| jrib | moonwatcher: what exactly isn't working? | 00:16 |
| unixdawg | kde 4.2 rocks | 00:16 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: You've used linux for three years and you still don't know what the network manager applet is called? o.0 | 00:16 |
| BlueEagle | jrib: His gigabit nic only puts trough 2 MiB/s | 00:16 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: its always there near the clock, i never gave it much attention :) | 00:16 |
| BlueEagle | jrib: I am figuring cable or an interface in between not handling gigabit. | 00:17 |
| moonwatcher | besides, most of the time i worked either on OpenWrt or a HUGE debian cluster | 00:17 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: Well I'm glad that degree of yours is coming handy. :) | 00:17 |
| Cody | My computer is what finds wireless connections. Is there a way to connect to a wireless connection from my router and not my computer? | 00:17 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: it worked igabit just before the last kernel bump | 00:17 |
| BrettS | http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html | 00:18 |
| moonwatcher | anyway, i seriously doubt its doing gigabit | 00:18 |
| moonwatcher | i think its 100TX | 00:18 |
| BrettS | Sooo anyone have experience installing linux graphics drivers? | 00:18 |
| moonwatcher | the led is orange | 00:18 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: Well, that would have been helpful to know before I started to figure out how to debut the cabling and other interfaces. Have you tried downgrading the kernel= | 00:18 |
| moonwatcher | i think it shoudl be green when on 1000 | 00:18 |
| BlueEagle | ? | 00:18 |
| matthewh23 | hi | 00:18 |
| freazer | Cody: so your computer is plugged into your router via an ethernet cable, and you want to somehow configure your wireless-capable router to connect to another wireless source rather than be a broadcast service? virtually all of your router configuration will be by accessing it's website via it's ip address from a machine connected directly to it in some way - do I understand the problem statement at least? | 00:19 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: i tried booting a livecd of 8.10 desktop (the system is now on server) | 00:19 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: on the livecd i got about 12MB/s | 00:19 |
| moonwatcher | which is still not really gigabit but is more likely | 00:19 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: So then it's a kernel configuration issue. I assume you're able to roll your own kernel after 3 years of linux and a uni degree, right? | 00:20 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: not sure :) | 00:20 |
| moonwatcher | i never went back to an older kernel i am afraid | 00:20 |
| freazer | BrettS: if you're in Ubuntu you've already tried System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and confirmed that the proprietary ones aren't already detected? have you gone into Software Sources and enabled the restricted and multiverse repositories? | 00:20 |
| moonwatcher | is it simply a matter of removing the package and putting in the older one? | 00:21 |
| moonwatcher | oh wait | 00:21 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: I see. Well, then the best advice I can give you is to bugreport the kernel issue and downgrade to the previous kernel package unless there are updates in there that you really, really need. | 00:21 |
| moonwatcher | i also installed the tainted Nvidia drivers | 00:21 |
| moonwatcher | not sure if thats related | 00:21 |
| Cody | freazer: I didnt understand how you put that. My computer is plugged into nothing. IT picks up internet connections by itself. | 00:21 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: It should not be, but since it's closed source one can never be sure. | 00:21 |
| Cody | freazer: I want the internet connection to go through my router not directly to my computer. | 00:22 |
| Cody | How do i do that? | 00:22 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: But since that driver is only a module for the kernel it should not affect other parts of it. | 00:22 |
| mauro_ | hello | 00:22 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: would you say those Marvel drivers are easly broken? | 00:22 |
| MIrrorIMage | mauro: hi | 00:22 |
| moonwatcher | at some point i though maybe putting in a an Intel PCI-E card woudl be a less painful solution | 00:23 |
| adubz | what do i need to setup ntfs support for linux? | 00:23 |
| freazer | BrettS: google is telling me your card is aready supported from Ubuntu 7.04 onwards - intel 965g http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=430277 | 00:23 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: Never had a marvel card so I would not know. I also have to little knowledge of the overall implimentation of the module code to know how robust it is against broken modules. | 00:23 |
| BrettS | well, why is it that I cannot run compiz, that it says missing XGL and xorg etc etc etc | 00:23 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: those marvel cards are very common onboard cards | 00:24 |
| freazer | adubz: look for a package in Synaptic similar to ntfstools - it will allow you to do all sorts of crazy things like resizing NTFS partitions - just be careful! backup your data beforehand just in case | 00:24 |
| moonwatcher | on asus boards anyway | 00:24 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: Just out of curiousity: Did you configure the network card in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 00:24 |
| SherlawkDragon1 | How do I restart my Apache server? | 00:24 |
| SherlawkDragon1 | I forgot | 00:24 |
| freazer | Cody: why did you ask about os x? is that what you're using? | 00:24 |
| BlueEagle | sherlawkdragon1: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 00:24 |
| SherlawkDragon1 | it's like Apache-Restart or something | 00:24 |
| SherlawkDragon1 | thanks | 00:24 |
| adubz | i just want to be able to read/write to ntfs drives | 00:24 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: no, but i woudl actually feel more comfortable with that then with the "little thingy near the clock" :) | 00:24 |
| BlueEagle | sherlawkdragon1: you may want to just use 'reload' if you just updated some configs. | 00:25 |
| Cody | freazer: On the belkin software install cd it did not include Linux so i was wondering what that was. | 00:25 |
| Frijolie | when it says the group is "1000" what does that mean? | 00:25 |
| Cody | Im using ubuntu and the software install cd doesnt work. | 00:25 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: Well if the driver supports it you could attempt to force it to 1G instead of 100M (or even 10M if that's what it's running) | 00:26 |
| freazer | Cody: Ubuntu wireless drivers is a little tricky and not all wireless cards are supported - can you give me the full name of your wireless card? Belkin --- ? | 00:26 |
| BlueEagle | freazer: That is the groupid. try this: cat /etc/group |grep 1000 | 00:26 |
| BlueEagle | freazer: That should hopefully show the name that belongs to gid 1000 | 00:27 |
| kholerabbi | can I turn gnome-panels off? | 00:27 |
| BlueEagle | freazer: (most likely the first user defined) | 00:27 |
| adubz | i can see the drive how would i mount it | 00:27 |
| freazer | Frijolie: in GNOME I go System -> Administrator -> Users and Groups and I see my own <username> group has a group ID# of 1000, if you deleted it that's probably what's left over ^^; I tried to warn you to chown the group of your files over to a different group before you deleted, where exactly are you seeing the group ID 1000 ? | 00:28 |
| cphillips | kholerabbi: right click the panel and select "Delete panel" | 00:28 |
| freazer | BlueEagle: I didn't ask that but you beat me to the right answer ^^ thanks much | 00:28 |

| BlueEagle | freazer: Happy tab-complete-day. | 00:29 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: What does lspci say about your nic? | 00:29 |
| Cody | freazer: Maybe im not putting this rite ist my fault. MY network control is broadcom bcm4311 802.11b/g WLAN (internal) and thats whats picks up the internet connection. I want the Belkin router to find the connection and connect to it. | 00:29 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: That's `lspci|grep Ethernet` if you need the command. :) | 00:29 |

| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: There seems to be a known issue with rev 12. | 00:33 |
| freazer | Cody: have you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779754 - its a thread that details exactly how to do get your card to work | 00:33 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: its hooked up to a Netgear GS105 switch btw and two other Macs hooked up to it talk 1Gb fine... | 00:33 |
| SherlawkDragon1 | when I go to localhost with firefox, Apache gives me an Access Denied error | 00:33 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: But that post is from '07 and does not explain the downgrade from the latest kernel update. | 00:33 |
| SherlawkDragon1 | What might the problem be? | 00:34 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: Then you may want to check your cabling tbh. Especially if the router indicates it doesn't run at 1G. (Did it indicate that when running from the live cd?) | 00:34 |
| moonwatcher | the switch said 100 | 00:35 |
| moonwatcher | well it does now | 00:35 |
| moonwatcher | said 1000 on the livecd | 00:35 |

| bazhang | !1984 > sagredo | 00:40 |
| ubottu | sagredo, please see my private message | 00:40 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: Well, if you report the regression as a bug then it ought to be fixed. And unless there are any important security fixes in the latest kernel and no new features you really need then it should be no harm in downgrading. | 00:40 |
| SherlawkDragon1 | when I go to localhost with firefox, Apache gives me an Access Denied error. Why might I get this problem? Is there some access thing I need to set? | 00:40 |
| rww | yurimxpxman: What version of Ubuntu are you using, and is it 32-bit or 64-bit? | 00:40 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: That said, using tried and tested hardware is never a bad idea. | 00:40 |
| sagredo | so much power | 00:41 |
| sagredo | sheesh | 00:41 |

| freazer | moonwatcher: how are the hard disk drivers configured? I thought even SATA150/300 drives could only seriously sustain 20~50 MB/sec ? getting a PCI-E card seems like it would be overkill, but I just might be completely wrong about the transfer speeds | 00:41 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: which hardware would be "tried and tested" ? | 00:41 |
| bazhang | sagredo, general chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:41 |
| csc_ | where are translations files in the system for ubiquity? | 00:42 |
| rww | yurimxpxman: The latest version of gnome-do in the ~do-core PPA for Hardy is 0.6.1, which I don't think has docky. Intrepid and Jaunty have 0.8.0. | 00:42 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: I've never had any trouble with RealTek gb nics. Have got no experience with Intel nics. | 00:42 |
| yurimxpxman | rww: so I'm gonna have to build it myself, then? | 00:43 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: I guess looking at different products and comparing how many people complain would be a good indicator. | 00:43 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: i had bad expriece with realtek :) | 00:43 |
| moonwatcher | on occasions... | 00:43 |
| freazer | moonwatcher: I think I'm old ^^ PCI still feels cutting edge to me, but with a peak transfer of 133 MB/sec I'm sure it can saturate a gigabit ethernet capable router | 00:43 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: gigabit or the older nics? | 00:43 |
| junglist_ | So I'm thinking about getting a new 1TB hard drive for my vanilla ubuntu 8.10 media server. Any suggestions? I know I should avoid the Seagate but what about another manufacturer? | 00:43 |
| moonwatcher | gigabit | 00:43 |
| tritium | junglist_: Western Digital Green (WD10EADS) | 00:44 |
| moonwatcher | that whole "gigabit card refusing to do gigabit" story is not a first for me | 00:44 |
| BlueEagle | moonwatcher: Well then I guess NICs just don't like you much. :p Anyways, that's all the advice I've got for you. :/ | 00:44 |
| tritium | junglist_: it's the quietest and most power-efficient drive that silentpcreview.com has *ever* tested | 00:44 |
| moonwatcher | :) | 00:44 |
| _VIM_ | junglist_: what's wrong with Seagate? | 00:44 |
| rww | yurimxpxman: That might work, but you'd also have to get a newer version of Mono, 'cause the one that ships with hardy is too old (hence the PPA not having do 0.8 for Hardy) | 00:44 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: ill try downgrading the kernel and see what happnes | 00:44 |
| tritium | _VIM_: firmware problems have been bricking their drives lately | 00:44 |
| moonwatcher | be back in a few | 00:44 |
| _VIM_ | ah | 00:45 |
| SherlawkDragon1 | when I go to localhost with firefox, Apache gives me an Access Denied error. Why might I get this problem? Is there some access thing I need to set? | 00:45 |
| junglist_ | tritium: Thanks. I was kinda leaning that way and you sealed it. :) | 00:45 |
| tritium | junglist_: :) | 00:45 |
| BlueEagle | sherlawkdragon1: if you're running firefox and apache on the same physical machine you need to set apace to listen to localhost (127.0.0.1) | 00:45 |
| SherlawkDragon1 | ah, ok | 00:45 |
| Flannel | SherlawkDragon1: Your files need to be readable by www-data | 00:45 |
| tritium | junglist_: I just put one in my mythtv box, and I absolutely love it. It's wicket quiet. | 00:46 |

| Guest17688 | how do i mount the thumb drive | 00:46 |
| Guest17688 | ? | 00:46 |
| rww | yurimxpxman: Looks like you can get Mono 1.9.1 fromhttp://directhex.mfgames.com/hardy.html , which should be new enough. | 00:46 |
| SherlawkDragon1 | I'm the user running apache, they are my files. | 00:46 |
| mr_linuxmen | i new use ubuntu | 00:46 |

| dirki | hey guys how do you mount a thumb drive | 00:50 |
| yurimxpxman | rww: thanks! Compiling mono would've been a pita | 00:50 |
| rww | UndertakerX2: install the build-essential package and then use g++ | 00:51 |
| dirki | my system is asking for fs type | 00:51 |
| tritium | rww: as I told him above | 00:51 |
| zaapiel | is their a gui for changing my host name? | 00:51 |
| zaapiel | i know how to edit /etc/hosts | 00:51 |
| UndertakerX2 | rww: g++ or c++? | 00:51 |
| freazer | andrew_: If you're still listening I highly recommend you apt-get reinstall build-essential -- possibly even uninstalling it via purge | 00:51 |
| zaapiel | i just dont want too | 00:51 |
| rww | tritium: you didn't mention the compiler name, and I was most of the way through typing anyway ;) | 00:51 |
| rww | UndertakerX2: g++ | 00:51 |
| tritium | UndertakerX2: that will install more than just g++, many of the packages that are considered "essential" for development | 00:51 |
| dirki | how do you mount a thumbdrive with fs type named | 00:51 |
| UndertakerX2 | tritium: thanks again | 00:51 |

| kazagistar | I installed Jaunty, and I noticed that "System -> Preferences -> Sound" has disappeared... how/where can I find it? | 00:52 |
| freazer | skeletal: do you mean how much space you should partition for swap? | 00:52 |
| rww | kazagistar: Jaunty support is in #ubuntu+1, not here. Thanks :) | 00:52 |
| tritium | skeletal: rule of thumb is about 2X your ram, or 2GB, whichever is less. | 00:52 |
| dirki | anyone | 00:52 |
| dirki | i running from ubuntu server... | 00:52 |
| kazagistar | rww: sorry, thank you! | 00:52 |
| rww | skeletal: somewhere between 512MB and 1GB. | 00:52 |
| freazer | dirki: is this a new thumb drive that's empty? or have you already used it on other computers? | 00:53 |
| zaapiel | gui for changing hostname? | 00:53 |
| zaapiel | anyone? | 00:53 |
| tritium | zaapiel: easier to type | 00:53 |
| skeletal | <rww> I have 512M of memory. Then how many for swap? | 00:53 |
| kazagistar | join #ubuntu+1 | 00:53 |
| kazagistar | crud | 00:53 |
| kazagistar | sorry | 00:53 |
| freazer | zaapiel: I think I'm having the exact same problem as you | 00:53 |
| FloodBot1 | kazagistar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:53 |
| zaapiel | humor me | 00:53 |
| skeletal | How many I need for swap? | 00:53 |
| tritium | skeletal: we told you above | 00:54 |
| rww | skeletal: as we've already said, between 1x and 2x your RAM. So in your case, 512MB to 1GB. If you want a number, not a range, go with 1GB. | 00:54 |
| UndertakerX2 | tritium: i already ahd build esentials installed, but when i try to install vmware tools on ubuntu server i cant get past the part that says i need a c++ compiler installed | 00:54 |
| freazer | zaapiel: So when you go System -> Administration -> Networking (General Tab) you can normally change your computer name | 00:54 |
| tritium | UndertakerX2: please type "g++ --version", to verify you have it installed. | 00:55 |
| freazer | zaapiel: But I'm running a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10, installed recently off the live cd and I don't have that option in my Administration -> menu -- I only see Network Tools which is NOT the same | 00:55 |
| tritium | zaapiel: easier to use the "hostname" command | 00:55 |
| UndertakerX2 | tritium: it says version 4.3.2 is isntalled | 00:55 |
| tritium | UndertakerX2: good | 00:55 |
| freazer | tritium: thank you! I did not know about that command! any idea why my System -> Administration menu is missing some major applets? | 00:56 |

| terr_ | rahduke: that sounds to me like an upstream issue. | 01:17 |
| jero_ | bigbucks - read what i said and try virtualbox. its tremendously good. the mount directory will be where you transfer files between host and guest | 01:17 |

| bigbucks | does it work the same as Virtual PC? | 01:17 |
| MoTec | bigbucks: just got here, what's the problem with virtual pc? | 01:17 |
| rahduke | miller_: dumb question how do i tell what my own IP is? | 01:17 |
| MoTec | can't boot? | 01:17 |
| rww | wexell32: gufw. firestarter is a little buggy on newer versions of Ubuntu. | 01:18 |
| Baatti | wexell32 gufw isn't a firewall, its just a GUI to help you set up your firewall (firestarter) | 01:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | Baatti: that might be a question better suited for #winehq | 01:18 |
| b3z3rk3r | rahduke, type into google: what is my ip | 01:18 |
| terr_ | rahduke: I've had issues like this before when trying to bootleg data out of Trinidad.... no way FTP would handle it. FTP is suppose to mind you but it was not robust enough | 01:18 |
| rww | Baatti: gufw is a frontend for ufw, not firestarter. | 01:18 |
| nex2nutin | evening all | 01:18 |
| NineTeen67Comet | rahduke: ifconfig | 01:18 |
| bigbucks | Does it work on Vista Home Premium | 01:18 |
| jero_ | bigbuck - it works as a computer in a computer. you just install your OS from a CD iso you download. not sure how vpc works | 01:18 |
| Baatti | hrm, my bad | 01:18 |
| terr_ | rahduke: yet small files were no issue at all. | 01:18 |
| rahduke | b3z3rk3r: my IP behind my router | 01:18 |
| Baatti | IndyGunFreak, thanks | 01:18 |
| jero_ | bigbucks - yes it works in all windows as host | 01:18 |

| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: i think i am smarter now though | 01:19 |
| b3z3rk3r | rahduke, oh.. haha. sry. umm, for that you will need to use the terminal.. something like ifconfig | 01:19 |
| terr_ | rahduke: it could be your modem is losing its connection - likely in fact. | 01:19 |
| jero | With the standard Ubuntu install on this nc8000 laptop with a pentium m and ati 9600, i get 3d acceleration to work properly in openarena for example, but suspend & compiz doesnt work. Installing the proprietary drivers, 3d acceleration works & compiz works & suspend works, but loging out does not work(screen goes blank and system becomes unresponsive). | 01:19 |
| bigbucks | Well, on a video on youtube, comments said they tried it and had to rewhatever their computer | 01:19 |
| rahduke | b3z3rk3r: thanks | 01:19 |

| terr_ | rahduke: I presume you are DSL? | 01:19 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: i tried linux-server 2.6.27-7, 2.6.27-9 and 2.6.27-11, and all give me the same 2-3 MB/s | 01:20 |
| rahduke | terr_: yes i've replaced it twice its a router/modem combo from verizon FIOS, im switching back to cablevision in 2 wks we we'll see if that helps | 01:20 |
| MoTec | i use virtual pc on a pretty beefy windows server to host a few different os's at once | 01:20 |

| rww | bigbucks: with Virtualbox? no | 01:21 |
| bigbucks | ok | 01:21 |
| terr_ | rahduke: ok - then the modem can be losing its training to the Dslam adn when same happens it times out and resets adn by then other things have timed out and reset | 01:21 |
| bigbucks | thats what I wanted | 01:21 |
| terr_ | rahduke: if so this might be happening randomly all the time and you only see it during heavy traffic or long transmissions | 01:22 |
| rahduke | terr_: Verizon admits no fault despite my arguments with them | 01:22 |
| rahduke | terr_: just keeps sending me new routers | 01:22 |

| bigbucks | lol | 01:24 |
| jero | elk - nope, its easier than install it normaly | 01:24 |
| MoTec | terr_ fit-pc v1.0 highly discounted currenty | 01:24 |
| terr_ | rahduke: if you had another machine you could confirm the modem - uplink is the issue | 01:24 |
| MoTec | terr_ under 5w power.. .you'll not find lower :) | 01:24 |
| terr_ | MoTec: not bad | 01:24 |
| cricri | trying to install ubuntu and install cant find the iso image | 01:24 |
| terr_ | MoTec: used equipment is fine too. | 01:24 |
| rahduke | terr_: I think i'm guna try that I can probably hobble something together, another option is to boot into windows for a while | 01:24 |
| bigbucks | IDK why I even wanna try to dual boot on a celeron with Vista | 01:24 |
| MoTec | it'd have to be pretty light duty.. i use 'em for firewalls | 01:25 |
| jero | bigbucks - use 8.04 for virtualbox. it is supported till 2011 and runs faster | 01:25 |
| MoTec | but they are currently functioning as routers for over 75 concurrent clients. | 01:25 |
| cricri | how can i point to it, by default it look in /dev/sdaX and sdbX my iso is on usb | 01:25 |
| terr_ | MoTit is light duty... even a 486 will fill any uplink I can afford | 01:25 |
| bigbucks | I am installing virtualbox | 01:25 |
| MoTec | terr_: then definately give the fit-pc 1.0 a look. fit-pc.com | 01:26 |

| bigbucks | How do I put Ubuntu on it WITHOUT a cd? | 01:46 |
| MoTec | i prefer virtual pc, as long as you have to have a windows host :) | 01:46 |

| gsker | virtualbox is in ubuntu's packages btw. aptitude install vritualbox | 01:46 |

| tritium | terr_: no. | 01:47 |
| _VIM_ | gsker: i think it's virtualbox-ose | 01:47 |
| tritium | _VIM_: correct | 01:47 |
| MoTec | bigbucks: if you're talking about making virtualbox boot ubuntu without a real cd you can tell it to use the ubuntu .iso as a virtual cd in the virtual machine | 01:47 |
| terr_ | tritium: I'm currently on Debian and its old. I'm going to build a new install shortly and I'm going to use Ubuntu - virtual is something I'm very interested in. | 01:47 |
| jero | Motec being bound to one host is exactly what you dont want with such virtual machines. One of the major strengths of this is to be able and carry your guest OS over to any other pc/OS | 01:47 |
| KoolD | hey all,....should't there be a manpage for fread/fwrite.... how do i download them | 01:47 |
| tritium | terr_: in order to use KVM, your hardware needs to support virtualization. That URL tells you how to determine whether or not your hardware does. | 01:48 |

| gsker | my point was that sending people to the origin site makes them think that they have to insall from there. A linux newbie friend got into a little pickle recently in that regard with openoffice (virtualbox is a virtual package -- virtualbox-ose is one of the package in it) | 01:48 |
| terr_ | tritium: this is starting to look like we are moving from the stone ages. | 01:48 |
| MoTec | jero: well true.. but with virtual pc you can run on any windows machine, basically, because virtual server machine files work on virtual pc installs | 01:48 |
| tritium | adubz: not for years | 01:48 |
| cricri | in the 'ubuntu installer main menu' i dont know what to choose to point to the iso image with the installer components | 01:48 |
| tritium | terr_: ? | 01:49 |
| terr_ | vmware worked but I sure didn't like it from an admin standpoint. | 01:49 |

| terr_ | tritium: IBM did it right a long time ago. | 01:49 |
| entropy8 | Would anyone be able to help me with a wpa_supplicant error? | 01:49 |
| MoTec | jero: was mostly just saying.. if my virtual machine host is a windows machine i use virtual pc.. if not, i use virtualbox on ubuntu server :) | 01:49 |
| cricri | i have never seen those options, i have not installed ubuntu for 3 yrs | 01:49 |
| chalcedony | if i want to backup my system to upgrade it, how can i find the paths? | 01:50 |
| WebcamWonder | chalcedony: echo $PATH, from a terminal | 01:50 |
| jero | which script is being called by gdm when i log out? | 01:51 |
| terr_ | Now this looks very interesting... I wonder if this can work with multiseat X? | 01:51 |
| chalcedony | WebcamWonder: ~$ echo $PATH | 01:51 |
| chalcedony | /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 01:51 |
| chalcedony | ~$ | 01:51 |
| gsker | btw vmware files work on virtualbox too. | 01:51 |
| WebcamWonder | chalcedony: Yup, that is the PATH environment variable | 01:52 |
| MoTec | really? that's sweet | 01:52 |
| cricri | the installer ask for an iso image which i have but i dont know how to point to it | 01:52 |
| jero | gsker - hm, good to know | 01:52 |
| terr_ | gsker: I'm trying to remember the name of hte UK virtualization - I think it was headed in Cambridge | 01:52 |
| gsker | doesn't ring a bell for me. | 01:52 |
| WebcamWonder | chalcedony: Wait, were you asking for the path environment variable, or what paths to tar for the backup? | 01:52 |
| cricri | it looks on the hard drive for an image but my image is on a usb memory stick\ | 01:52 |
| chalcedony | WebcamWonder: i feel dumb.. what do i need? | 01:53 |
| WebcamWonder | !backup | chalcedony | 01:53 |
| ubottu | chalcedony: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 01:53 |
| terr_ | what I would _like_ is to be able to build a virtual machine that basically runs in a microkernel and test it and if I like it then move everyting into it and retire the old virtual image | 01:53 |
| gsker | chalcedony: alt-ctrl-f1 (or f2 or something) and see if you can mount the usb stick. | 01:53 |
| cricri | should i nspecify it in the boot options | 01:53 |
| nellmathew | is there a command to check if i have 3d acceleration enabled? | 01:54 |
| gsker | nellmathew: glxinfo | grep direct | 01:54 |
| chalcedony | gsker: my stuff won't all fit on a usb stick.. it will have to go to another system on the lan | 01:54 |
| cricri | my boot was: '/vmlinuz initrd=/initrd.gz all_generic_ide' | 01:54 |
| nellmathew | thanks gsker | 01:54 |
| gsker | oops. Wrong person -- that was for cricri | 01:54 |

| WebcamWonder | !find gtk | 01:56 |
| terr_ | question regarding a virtual machine: Now I kinda doubt this is possible. Set up a host OS and install a guest. At some point tell the guest to become the host and the host to become the guest. These _could_ be peer os's and would need to cooperate in transfering control of the hardware... means we need to have two VM aware kernels Of course on a given kernel we _should_ be able to xfer the desktop managers and if so then run more t | 01:56 |
| ubottu | Found: apport-gtk, evince, gftp-gtk, gnome-icon-theme-gartoon, gtk-doc-tools (and 421 others) | 01:57 |
| terr_ | if we can do this then we can upgrade from version to version w/o a reboot | 01:57 |
| WebcamWonder | kshadow: Any specific reason why you don't want ubuntu-desktop? | 01:57 |

| WebcamWonder | kshadow: Are you getting a deb from somewhere or compiling? | 01:58 |
| jero | terr_ - maybe XEN will be able to do this some day, if the big players don't infiltrate it | 01:58 |
| kshadow | Compiling. | 01:58 |
| WebcamWonder | kshadow: Then you need the dev headers, not the gtk packages :) | 01:58 |
| terr_ | jero: that's the system I was looking for - forgot the name. | 01:59 |
| WebcamWonder | !info libgtk-dev | 01:59 |
| terr_ | jero: with a micro kernel it should be possible as well | 01:59 |
| ubottu | Package libgtk-dev does not exist in intrepid | 01:59 |
| jero | terr_ you need a cpu with VT - XEN is just a thin layer between your hardware and your virtual OS. So yes, in theory it is possible to get this done, and i think it was already done. Then again i am a tinfoiler | 01:59 |
| kshadow | Would itbe libgtk+2.0-dev? | 01:59 |
| unixdawg | ok having a issue | 01:59 |
| unixdawg | need input | 02:00 |
| terr_ | jero? tinfoiler? | 02:00 |

| jero | terr_ - i mean me, not you | 02:01 |
| terr_ | jero: I've needed it before on my desktop but not recently. As I said I bought vmware a few years back... | 02:01 |

| cricri | gsker yes i managed to go back to install but the install still wont find the iso | 02:06 |
| terr_ | cricri: does the ubuntu installer go through a boot? | 02:06 |

| cricri | it boots and then looks for iso | 02:06 |
| unixdawg | building kssh | 02:06 |

| kshadow | Matr|X: You mean you want to change the executable file?! | 02:13 |

| tritium | Fezzler: 8.10, Intrepid Ibex | 02:13 |
| WebcamWonder | nitrousinacan: Hold up | 02:13 |
| kshadow | If you want to execute it, make it executable with `chmod +x filename`, and execute it with `./filename` | 02:13 |
| Matr|X | yes | 02:14 |
| jero | bigbucks - start a new machine, set it up. after you are done with it, before you power it up, click on CDROM and browse to the ubuntu iso to bind it in. Now your machine will act like a real one having an ubuntu cdrom inside, once you power it up | 02:14 |
| terr_ | cricri: you might also be able to cd to /mnt/blah and then run the installer | 02:14 |

| jero | trent1 - booting from a USB HDD is the same as booting from a normal HDD if your bios supports it. The problem you might encounter is getting a bootblock on your USB HDD.

| nitrousinacan | WebcamWonder: Ok. Done. Should I "sudo apt-get update"? | 02:22 |
| WebcamWonder | nitrousinacan: sudo aptitude update, aptitude over apt-get is preffered :) | 02:22 |
| bigbucks | can I get a URL to the iso just I cannot find it | 02:22 |
| RulerOf | bigbucks: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 02:22 |
| terr_ | jero in this business it is NOT an advantage to know much. If you do then customers waste too much of your time... and go buy elsewhere | 02:22 |
| tritium | bigbucks: don't be so lazy | 02:22 |
| Hilikus | hey guys | 02:23 |
| Draken | I installed ubuntu just today and I had full effects for video and it said I had like 200 updates so I updated and now I cant enable any effects any ideas? | 02:23 |
| nitrousinacan | WebcamWonder: Hmm... Never used aptitude. Same thing pretty much? | 02:23 |
| WebcamWonder | nitrousinacan: Very much the same | 02:23 |
| Hilikus | what happens to my ubuntu box if i replace the mobo and CPU?? wil it still work or i have to reinstall? | 02:23 |
| Leppers | whats the command to view how much RAM is on machine and how much is free/used? | 02:23 |
| nitrousinacan | WebcamWonder: Done. No errors. Thanks! | 02:23 |
| WebcamWonder | Leppers: top does it | 02:23 |
| bigbucks | it is a lond download | 02:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hilikus: hopefully.. ;) if not, you don't have to pay for another user agreement to reinstall. | 02:24 |
| WX_0 | Leppers: free -m | 02:24 |
| bigbucks | long | 02:24 |
| thoben | try top | 02:24 |
| WebcamWonder | nitrousinacan: No problems | 02:24 |
| Leppers | thanks | 02:24 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: I think it _should_ work. However why do you want to save the case? Just moive the HDD | 02:24 |
| === Who-s_me is now known as nOnethere | ||
| Hilikus | terr_ i dont have 2 cases, what i really want to save is the current setup of my server, i dont want ot install and reconfigure every process i have running in it | 02:24 |
| gsker | temperature: 63 C | 02:25 |
| edge | how can u remove packages manually without using apt-get bc it wont do it | 02:25 |
| Draken | does anyone know why I would lose visual effects because of updates? | 02:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | edge: why won't it? | 02:25 |
| WebcamWonder | edge: What are you trying to remove that apt-get wouldn't let you? | 02:25 |
| jrib | edge: be more specific than "it wont do it" | 02:25 |
| progre55 | hi everybody! | 02:25 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: but cases are basically throw aways. You should install the MB and so forth in a new case and move the HDD | 02:25 |
| tritium | terr_: cases can be reused | 02:25 |
| edge | WebcamWonder IndyGunFreak it was installed with a .deb and the deb is gone, and i used i to remove it but it still things it exists so im having issues installing other stuff | 02:26 |
| progre55 | can anybody suggest me a cool theme on ubuntu intrepid please? :) | 02:26 |
| Leppers | WebcamWonder: WX_0: You Guys Are Amazing! | 02:26 |
| Hilikus | terr_ i dont have another case. i just have an extra mobo and cpu | 02:26 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: that way if there is a glitch you can move it back. ALso how big is the HDD? I picked up 160 GB IDE for like $35 bux. | 02:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | edge: where'd you get the .deb? | 02:26 |
| WebcamWonder | edge: That is still very vague. Please pastebin the output when you are facing this problem | 02:26 |
| edge | IndyGunFreak from zimbra , | 02:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 02:26 |
| Hilikus | terr_ i have a 250gb and a 20gb | 02:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | yeah, edge try to apt-get remove it, then pastebin the error | 02:26 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: place the ner Mobo on a static matt and pulg a powersupply into it etc etc adn then try it... | 02:27 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: is the OS on the 20GB? | 02:27 |
| edge | IndyGunFreak this is what happens when i try to use apt or any managment http://nopaste.com/p/auCLbTU66 | 02:27 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: that would be the smart way to do it. | 02:27 |
| Hilikus | terr_ my question was more, would ubuntu boot to the last status or it would freak out wit the different hardware | 02:27 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: it should boot. But I've never tried it. | 02:27 |
| Hilikus | terr_ yes, 20 for OS, 250 for mythtv | 02:27 |
| tritium | Hilikus: hardware is auto-detected on boot, so you shouln't have trouble. | 02:28 |
| WebcamWonder | edge: sudo apt-get install -f, that should fix broken packages first | 02:28 |
| Hilikus | thank guys | 02:28 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: mythtv? | 02:28 |
| Hilikus | terr_ PVR | 02:28 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: can you get another 20GB? | 02:28 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: PVR? I've never used it. | 02:28 |
| Matr|X | sudo apt-get install -f | 02:28 |
| Hilikus | terr_ what for? | 02:28 |
| dannywesleypasqu | ola | 02:28 |
| Matr|X | this will fix broken packeg | 02:28 |
| Hilikus | terr_ to install it again in the second one? | 02:28 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: I like to leap frog - clone the HDD and don't bring down a machine until the new one is working. | 02:29 |
| dannywesleypasqu | hello | 02:29 |
| tritium | terr_: you're missing out. There's an entire ubuntu derivative distro called mythbuntu specifically for mythtv. | 02:29 |
| chalcedony | WebcamWonder: is there a command line command to show a treeview of directories? i just am kind of freaked out about trying to ues these gui things. i do command line because i can see black and white. | 02:29 |
| Hilikus | terr_ i see | 02:29 |
| progre55 | hey people, please anybody suggest me a cool theme on ubuntu intrepid :) | 02:29 |
| terr_ | tritium: but I don't yet know what mythtc is. | 02:29 |
| dannywesleypasqu | sim | 02:29 |
| edge | Matr|X doesn't work | 02:29 |
| tritium | terr_: shocking | 02:29 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: I've never had problems I could not get around mind you. | 02:30 |
| Matr|X | thx | 02:30 |
| edge | WebcamWonder that didn't work | 02:30 |
| tritium | !mythtv | terr_ | 02:30 |
| ubottu | terr_: mythtv is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV - For discussion and specific support, try #ubuntu-mythtv | 02:30 |
| WebcamWonder | chalcedony: I don't know. I have never been required to done that | 02:30 |
| Matr|X | cool theme for ubntu hardy ? | 02:30 |
| terr_ | tritium: I live in a cave and plug my computers into rocks | 02:30 |
| WebcamWonder | edge: pastebin? | 02:30 |
| Hilikus | terr_ theres no way around hardware problems | 02:30 |
| edge | WebcamWonder http://nopaste.com/p/auCLbTU66 | 02:30 |
| edge | WebcamWonder no matter what i do i get that ,its annoying i just wanna edit it out of its memory | 02:30 |
| terr_ | tritium: that sounds VERY interesting for something I want to do | 02:30 |
| kshadow | Alright, I'm going to try and update to ibtrepid ibex. | 02:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | Matr|X: there's lots of them.. http://www.gnome-look.org assuming you're using gnome | 02:30 |
| tritium | terr_: good deal | 02:31 |
| kshadow | Hopefully my internet won't stop working again. | 02:31 |
| Hilikus | for some reason my system freezes and I THINK it happens when the temperature in my room drops | 02:31 |
| WebcamWonder | edge: What did, sudo apt-get install -f say? | 02:31 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | does anyone have an acer aspire one i just got it and put ubuntu on it and i cant get my wireless working | 02:31 |
| Hilikus | so i,m pretty sure its hardware, not ubuntu | 02:31 |
| kshadow | dstrbdfrk1: I do. | 02:31 |
| kshadow | dstrbdfrk1: Well, aspire 5100. | 02:31 |
| kshadow | But my wireless wouldn't work with intrepid before. | 02:31 |
| WebcamWonder | dstrbdfrk1: Every model differs. You need to find what card is in your particular model | 02:32 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | do you think you can help? kshadow | 02:32 |
| edge | WebcamWonder http://nopaste.com/p/aerS9RAh0 | 02:32 |
| owen9914 | dstrbdfrk1: install madwifi | 02:32 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: how much liquid nitrogen are you using? | 02:32 |
| Hilikus | hehe | 02:32 |
| kshadow | dstrbdfrk1: Not sure, but someone earlier here said they installed madwifi-hal and got things working. | 02:32 |
| malibu | Is someone here familiar with samba? I have server running on 8.10 and it works prefectly except I can't browse to the workgroup itself with windows. I get 'network name not found' | 02:32 |
| WebcamWonder | edge: Can you actually go and download zimbra-core, and reinstall it? | 02:32 |
| malibu | I'm pulling my hair out over this.. tried a bunch of stuff i googled but nothing works | 02:32 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | um i dont kno how to do those things im pretty new and im gunna need one on one instructions | 02:32 |
| edge | WebcamWonder i could, but its not installed , so why can't i just remove it from the package manager? | 02:33 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: as for your migration issue... a 20GB should be next to nothing. Clone your existing one is my suggestion... also any old old old machine (spare) should be ok for this | 02:33 |
| jero | malibu - you tried to search for the server ip within windows? | 02:33 |
| Hilikus | terr_ this IS my spare machine :P | 02:33 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: after you clone it - move the HDD and test it. | 02:33 |
| WebcamWonder | edge: Some package depends on it, and apt-get wants to reinstall it due to some reason | 02:33 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: it seems to be a production machine too. | 02:33 |
| edge | WebcamWonder no way to over ride? | 02:33 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: if you lived in my city I'd give you a spare! | 02:33 |
| WebcamWonder | edge: But this behaviour is very weird, even for apt-get | 02:33 |
| negativegluebear | anyone know why my S-video to my HDTV(1080p) resolution is maxing out at 1024x768? | 02:34 |
| Hilikus | terr_ i build a server just to use spare parts i had lying around | 02:34 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | how do i install madwifi? | 02:34 |
| Hilikus | i built* | 02:34 |
| WebcamWonder | edge: It would be much easier if you went through the process of installation and removal | 02:34 |
| edge | WebcamWonder nothing relies on it , so im confused why i can't just delete it from a world list or something | 02:34 |
| terr_ | be ahppy to do that for some help/manpower building a few systems to donate to some school labs in fact | 02:34 |
| malibu | jero: no.. what is the command for that? | 02:34 |
| owen9914 | dstrbdfrk1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne should show you how to do it | 02:34 |
| terr_ | friend of mine tosses machines... they tossed at least 50 a few months back | 02:35 |
| jero | malibu - first of, do a ping to your server, to see if there is no firewall blocking | 02:35 |
| Hilikus | :S | 02:35 |
| malibu | jero: just a regular ping? | 02:35 |
| jero | malibu - ping <serverIP> | 02:35 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | im having a issue with kubuntu.. is this the right channel ? | 02:35 |
| negativegluebear | try #kubuntu | 02:35 |
| terr_ | jero: mytv looks awsome | 02:35 |
| malibu | jero: ping works.. not surprised.. it's just my home network | 02:35 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | negativegluebear: im trying but it places me here.. in #ubuntu | 02:35 |
| jero | malibu - then in windows open my computer, and do ctrl+f - and enter the server ip in the search field | 02:36 |
| negativegluebear | then ya you're in the right place =) | 02:36 |
| terr_ | jero: how fast a machine (cpu mostly) would mytv need to run well? | 02:36 |
| malibu | jero: wow ctrl-f works? Good trick.. trying. | 02:36 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | ok im having a issue.. im using the kubuntu live cd.. i am connecting my camera and it wont reconize | 02:36 |
| WebcamWonder | webbhawk_h4x0r19: That is b/c you are coming in from mibbit | 02:36 |
| Hilikus | terr_ it is awesome | 02:37 |
| jero | malibu - yes it works, i use it quite often when it fails to find the server automatically | 02:37 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | WebcamWonder: yeah im on a live cd.. so mibbit is fastest way for me to join irc channels | 02:37 |
| malibu | ok it found the computer by IP | 02:37 |
| === l7_ is now known as l7 | ||
| malibu | jero: just browsing to it | 02:37 |
| malibu | jero: ok I'm in, that worked | 02:38 |
| Hilikus | terr_ it does take a lot of time and knowledge to get it running | 02:38 |
| WebcamWonder | webbhawk_h4x0r19: Yup. The proxy setup just throws to #ubuntu, never considers other channels | 02:38 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | im plugging in my camera and it wont reconigze .... any ideas? | 02:38 |
| jero | terr_ - mythTV is really cool, but i stopped watching TV lately :D | 02:38 |
| perlsyntax_ | What package do i need to install 2.6.1 python? | 02:38 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: I've got an old shuttle machine... I don't know how fast the CPU is yet - but its about a vintage 2000 machine... do you think it can handle mytv? | 02:38 |
| DBO | i am having sound issues | 02:38 |
| malibu | perlsyntax_: You need to build python for ubuntu | 02:39 |
| terr_ | jero: with the crap that is on no kidding. | 02:39 |
| WebcamWonder | !sound | DBO | 02:39 |
| ubottu | DBO: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 02:39 |
| DBO | all I am getting is a crackling noise out of my speakers | 02:39 |
| perlsyntax_ | yes i do | 02:39 |
| Hilikus | terr_ the requirements are not too bad except in harddrive and you need a tv tuner of course | 02:39 |
| perlsyntax_ | i want to try the 2.6.1 | 02:39 |
| DBO | WebcamWonder, no dice, seen those | 02:39 |
| terr_ | BTW my shuttle will support 6 monitors! | 02:39 |
| WebcamWonder | DBO: Using PA or ALSA? | 02:39 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: I was told we can get USB tuners | 02:39 |
| Dillizar | !gnomad | 02:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomad | 02:39 |
| perlsyntax_ | malibu | 02:39 |
| Hilikus | terr_ don't | 02:39 |
| Dillizar | !gnomad2 | 02:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomad2 | 02:39 |
| DBO | WebcamWonder, checking without PA now... | 02:40 |
| Hilikus | terr_ usb tuners use software encoding | 02:40 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | whats the gnome app for cameras .. | 02:40 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: I was also told the HDTV is really an mpeg | 02:40 |
| Hilikus | terr_ in which case you do need a pretty powerful cpu | 02:40 |
| perlsyntax_ | Does anyone know? | 02:40 |
| perlsyntax_ | i know i need the devel files if i am right. | 02:40 |
| joshjtl | can anyone recommend an app to flip through desktop wallpaper? | 02:40 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | preinstalled on ubuntu.. anyone know | 02:40 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: he was from Europe and I think was picking up HDTV - already an mpeg4 | 02:40 |
| malibu | jero: know what I can try next? | 02:40 |
| l7 | hi, i just installed the openssh server but i can't get a command prompt when i shell in to my box. do i need to configure it to use a different login shell? | 02:40 |
| tritium | l7: nope | 02:41 |
| WebcamWonder | webbhawk_h4x0r19: There is no pre-installed app last time I checked. I think cheese happens to be the most popular one | 02:41 |
| WebcamWonder | !cheese | 02:41 |
| DBO | WebcamWonder, killing PA makes the crackling go away, but still no sound | 02:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cheese | 02:41 |
| jero | malibu - i thought you said you were in. what is the mater ? | 02:41 |
| terr_ | l7 openssh server? | 02:41 |
| l7 | tritium: why can't i get a command prompt then? | 02:41 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | WebcamWonder: there is a preinstalled app that deals with images and cameras though.. | 02:41 |
| malibu | jero: I still can't get to the workgroup | 02:41 |
| tritium | l7: not sure. You should be. | 02:41 |
| l7 | terr_: yes | 02:41 |
| terr_ | i7 mod-ssh? for apache? | 02:41 |
| Matr|X | i downloaded thems from here http://www.gnome-look.org/ how can i install it but i have compiz fuion installed on my box | 02:41 |
| malibu | jero: If I browse to the actual workgroup it doesn't work | 02:41 |
| patacute | hi, could anyone give me opera repo for ubuntu 8.10 source.list | 02:42 |
| WebcamWonder | DBO: What app are you testing your sound with? | 02:42 |
| Hilikus | terr_ ok, in that case maybe, but even with difital tv i have to digitize it because my cable box converts it to analog apparently (i'm using svideo) so i have to REdigitize it again to store it in my hdd | 02:42 |
| malibu | jero: I can use \\servername\share just fine | 02:42 |
| jero | malibu - have you restarted both machines? | 02:42 |
| DBO | WebcamWonder, there we go, PCM was magically shut off | 02:42 |
| jero | malibu - after setting it up? | 02:42 |
| l7 | terr_: i have openssh-client and openssh-server installed | 02:42 |
| Dillizar | does any body knows smt bout gnomad | 02:42 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: ac->dc->ac->dc adn on and on | 02:42 |
| Hilikus | afaik output of a cable box is always analog | 02:42 |
| DBO | WebcamWonder, ok, PA working now too... thanks for that =) | 02:42 |
| WebcamWonder | DBO: :) I didn't do anything | 02:43 |
| terr_ | l7: its been a few years since I worked with that | 02:43 |
| tritium | Hilikus: what are you looking for? Most HD TV tuner cards support ATSC (over-the-air) and unencrypted QAM-256 (cable) | 02:43 |
| malibu | jero: yes many times.. I've had this problem ever since upgrading from 7.10 to 8.10 a few months ago | 02:43 |
| DBO | WebcamWonder, shhh, its easier to say you fixed it than admit I forgot to check PCM | 02:43 |
| terr_ | l7: if you remind me what they do it might ring a bell. | 02:43 |
| Hilikus | terr_ yes, you can get digital tv tuners but i dont really see the point since you can't connect your cable directly to it cause all cable signals are scrambled | 02:43 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | owen9914: i followed the instructions you gave me and i hit an error can you help? | 02:44 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | anyone know what i should do .. if it wont reconize my camera | 02:44 |
| WebcamWonder | Hilikus: A little offtopic, aren't we? | 02:44 |
| patacute | hi, could anyone give me opera repo for ubuntu 8.10 source.list | 02:44 |
| jero | malibu - sorry then i have no clue then. all the info i knew i gave you about this. Personally i would check if on the server site i set the sharing options properly for the folders etc i want to share | 02:44 |
| l7 | terr_: openssh-server allows you to connect to your box via ssh and and adminster it remotely | 02:44 |
| Hilikus | tritium i'm still SD, but when i enquired about a digital tv card i was told it would still not work, basically no way around my cable provider's box | 02:44 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: what of the feeds into the flat panels. | 02:44 |
| WebcamWonder | patacute: www.opera.com lists one last time I checked | 02:44 |
| l7 | ah well, maybe a reboot will fix this, but i can't reboot for a few hours | 02:44 |
| terr_ | l7:oh! | 02:44 |
| tritium | Hilikus: it depends on which channels they provide unencrypted | 02:44 |
| terr_ | Of course I use it all te time! | 02:45 |
| patacute | webbhawk_h4x0r19, did u add it to your source.list? | 02:45 |
| tritium | l7: you don't have to reboot. sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart, and see if it works | 02:45 |
| Hilikus | tritium probably none, who would, they want you to buy a box | 02:45 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | patacute: no whats that | 02:45 |
| tritium | Hilikus: most do, at least locals | 02:45 |
| terr_ | l7: start the server daemon... you will need to config the user log in and any shell will owrk. On the remote machine just ssh blah | 02:45 |
| malibu | jero: Ok thanks.. | 02:45 |
| patacute | webbhawk_h4x0r19, ok i see | 02:46 |
| malibu | jero: it's a tough one.. been trying to figure it out for a long time | 02:46 |
| WebcamWonder | patacute: What are you talking about? | 02:46 |
| malibu | jero: usually I get around the probllem with network places, but now I'm in a position with an app that I need the workgroup | 02:46 |
| patacute | webbhawk_h4x0r19, i want to add opera repo to my souce.list | 02:46 |
| patacute | WebcamWonder, ^^ | 02:46 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | i didnt say that | 02:46 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: there are two interfaces into flat panels and I forget the letters since I've not used them (yet). One is just digital like DPI or somehting and the other includes sound and is like HDLC or something | 02:47 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | i cant get my camera to reconize | 02:47 |
| l7 | terr_: how do i start the server daemon? i can already ssh to localhost, so perhaps this means it is running but not properly configured. | 02:47 |
| terr_ | Hilikus: I can't find my notes right now | 02:47 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | im trying to copy the pictures to my computer | 02:47 |
| WebcamWonder | patacute: System -> Administration -> Software Sources, add away | 02:47 |
| tritium | terr_: DVI and HDMI (also DisplayPort) | 02:47 |
| terr_ | tritium: thanks | 02:47 |
| === S03vsWERDER is now known as DIFH-iceroot | ||
| Hilikus | terr_ but you still need to descramble the signal from your cable provider, so you have to go through a set top box, which output is analog | 02:47 |
| tritium | No, I did not equate HDMI to DisplayPort, they are separate standards. | 02:47 |
| patacute | WebcamWonder, thanks | 02:48 |
| jero | malibu was there any reason for you to upgrade to 7.10? | 02:48 |

| ubottu | terr_ Hilikus tritium: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 02:48 |
| tritium | terr_: they are | 02:48 |
| terr_ | l7: to start the deamon try sshd | 02:48 |
| Hilikus | ok | 02:48 |
| Hilikus | thanks for the help guys | 02:48 |
| WebcamWonder | webbhawk_h4x0r19: And it doesn't show up as a hdd? | 02:48 |
| Hilikus | good night | 02:48 |
| tritium | WebcamWonder: take it easy | 02:48 |
| l7 | terr_: it says "sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path" | 02:49 |
| malibu | jero: 8.10? no, not particularly.. Just wanted to stay fresh | 02:49 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | WebcamWonder: no i plug it in turn it on .. and nothing happens | 02:49 |
| WebcamWonder | webbhawk_h4x0r19: Did you try googling that specific model> | 02:49 |
| jero | malibu - 7.10 is actually running faster, and since it worked fine, you actually did a downgrade :D | 02:49 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | yes... nothing really.. | 02:49 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | its worked before | 02:49 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | never had any issues | 02:49 |
| terr_ | l7: hmm... I've never seen that... try /locate sshd and then /usr/local or wherever it lives | 02:50 |
| l7 | terr_: actually /usr/sbin/sshd is already running when i do ps | 02:50 |
| WebcamWonder | webbhawk_h4x0r19: Can you pastebin the output of, sudo fdisk -l ? | 02:50 |
| tritium | l7: did you restart it, as I told you to? | 02:50 |
| malibu | jero: doh | 02:50 |
| terr_ | l7: ok - then the issue is in /etc/sshd | 02:50 |
| l7 | tritium: kill it and restart it? | 02:50 |
| malibu | jero: I have probs with 8.10 too. | 02:50 |
| joshjtl | can anyone recommend a random wallpaper switcher? | 02:50 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | WebcamWonder: sure.. whats the key press that will give me a terminal | 02:50 |
| tritium | l7: no, sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart, like I said | 02:50 |
| terr_ | l7: ok - then the issue is in /etc/sshd.config or whatiever its called. I can check mine | 02:50 |
| WebcamWonder | webbhawk_h4x0r19: Applications -> Acc -> terminal | 02:51 |
| malibu | jero: hope 9.10 is better | 02:51 |
| jero | malibu - my favorite is 8.04. If i read correctly it will be supported till 2011. Appart it was the one running best with my hardware, and the one running best in my vbox | 02:51 |
| tritium | terr_: it shouldn't require any config changes. It should run "out of the box." | 02:51 |
| jero | malibu - 8.10 is supported only till 2010 if i read correct | 02:51 |
| WebcamWonder | webbhawk_h4x0r19: Ihave to go | 02:51 |
| WebcamWonder | webbhawk_h4x0r19: Sorry | 02:51 |
| terr_ | tritium: I forget... servers have been up for years... also my servers are openBSD... desktops are linux | 02:51 |
| l7 | terr_: the thing is i can login to my box, but i cannot get a shell | 02:51 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | ok i have an acer aspire one and i cant get the wifi to work i have googeled it and there is instructions on how to fix but there not working so i need some one on one help please | 02:52 |
| malibu | jero: I always wonder what I'm missing by running the .04 though | 02:52 |
| tritium | l7: then what do you get when you ssh to your box? | 02:52 |
| webbhawk_h4x0r19 | can anyone help me with .. a camera that wont reconigze | 02:52 |
| l7 | terr_: it seems to me that it does not know it needs to give me a bash shell when i log in | 02:52 |
| terr_ | l7 what is in the /etc/passwd file? | 02:52 |
| tritium | l7: what do you see? Can you pastebin it? | 02:52 |

| malibu | jero: How does 8.04 speed compare to 8.10? | 02:52 |
| joshjtl | hmm anyone | 02:52 |
| jero | malibu - 8.04 is faster in my vbox - much faster | 02:52 |
| tritium | jero: that seems far-fetched | 02:53 |
| l7 | tritium: yes, in a moment | 02:53 |
| tritium | malibu: quite comparable | 02:53 |
| terr_ | l7: mine seems ot be 100% defaults | 02:53 |
| RussM | malibu: I jumped up to 8.10 when it came out, and though I have no objective numbers, it does seem a little slower. | 02:53 |
| malibu | russM: I guess that teaches me to do alittle research first.. newer not necessarily better | 02:54 |

| l7 | whups | 02:54 |
| l7 | tritium: here it is: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d27c070bc | 02:54 |
| jero | tritium nope, it is not. The mesa software acceleration on the 8.04 running in a vbox with the vbox tools installed, gives me 1800fps in glxgears . In 8.10 i get only around 400fps. But i also notice that when i run my opengl C code i develope within the vbox. On 8.04 my cube spins juust fine. 8.10 has problems with drawing it fast enough, making it look messy | 02:54 |
| tritium | l7: looks like irssi ;) | 02:54 |
| l7 | yeah, mispaste :) | 02:55 |
| l7 | so it gets to that point and then i just see a blinking cursor | 02:55 |
| terr_ | jero that couild be a schedualer... try nice | 02:55 |
| tritium | jero: most benchmarks I've seen show performance gains (slight, but gains, nonetheless) | 02:55 |
| l7 | ctrl-c doesn't allow me t escape either | 02:55 |
| l7 | to* | 02:55 |
| RussM | malibu: In fact, newer is quite often worse... I immediately had problems because nothing worked with the new kernel yet (that is, things like VMWare). Took a little bit for the rest of the world to catch up. | 02:56 |
| jero | tritium - i am not saying there is not faster than 8.04 out there, cause there is, icebuntu 7.10 for example is even faster, but it is not fun working with it. 8.04 is very much like native in full screen. In fact i use it more often than my host OS | 02:56 |
| RussM | malibu: But someone has to run the new stuff, or the problems never get fixed. | 02:56 |
| jero | tritium - well, not in a vbox. Maybe on a desktop | 02:56 |
| tritium | jero: correct | 02:56 |
| tritium | l7: hitting "enter" doesn't get you a command prompt? | 02:56 |

| arvind_khadri | progre55: i installed ibex today :) | 03:26 |
| zXstanyXz | what you mean in arvind_khadri? | 03:26 |
| jero | zXstanyXz - my success with this ati mobility 9600 was just installing 8.04 ubuntu, which had 3d acceleration work straight for some stuff like openarena , but no compiz. Then i just clicked on the enable proprietary driver under hardware, and had the full fglxr acceleration going after a sudo aticonfig --initial -f . So i got full acceleration including compiz with just 1 click. | 03:27 |
| arvind_khadri | zXstanyXz: when you say the drivers crash X what do you mean by that?? you dont get the resolutions thats it? | 03:27 |
| jero | zXstanyXz - if you bothered with the newest drivers of the ati site, i am not suprised you ran into issues. I could get their newest beta 9.2 to work however. But then it would crash randomly on my ATI card | 03:27 |
| Cody | This is my setup: Computer>Router>Internet , I need the setup to be Computer>router>router>Internet. How do i do that? | 03:27 |

| arvind_khadri | zXstanyXz: so now what do you want when you have it working? | 03:28 |
| zXstanyXz | when i restart the computer the x-server crashes when trying to start up and i have to switch to the console to log in and reboot the computer.. arvind_khadri | 03:28 |
| malibu | RussM: The console doesn't work with Chrome, unfortunately. Google's fault, not VMWare's | 03:28 |
| zXstanyXz | jero my card is an asus ati radeon HD4850 and trying to use either the newest drivers from the site or the drivers in the ubuntu repository | 03:29 |

| MeVsTheVoices | G-Bleezy: You should look for .deb, YUM is for different distros, same idea, different format | 03:31 |
| zXstanyXz | atm i know its not there arvind_khadri cos xfix removes it from there when i recover my install | 03:32 |
| kingtut | i am useing vlc player and keffeine player | 03:32 |
| G-Bleezy | k...i was just installing flash plugin and it gave me 5 options.. | 03:32 |
| G-Bleezy | i'll go with .deb Ubuntu +8.03 | 03:32 |
| brian____ | Cpudan80: why does everyone recommend VLC over mplayer? | 03:32 |
| Cpudan80 | brian____: because VLC plays everything and doesnt complain | 03:33 |
| kitche | brian____: because not everyone does I recommand mplayer over VLC to a point | 03:33 |
| G-Bleezy | hey wait...what do you open .deb's with? | 03:33 |
| arvind_khadri | zXstanyXz: seems like you dont have enough luck with fglrx .... after you recover your install is it possible for you to have accelarated graphics? | 03:33 |
| kitche | Cpudan80: yes maybe back in 1998 VLC was like that | 03:33 |

| arvind_khadri | G-Bleezy: you can double-click on then...gdebi handles them...or from cli dpkg -i | 03:33 |
| Cpudan80 | kitche: or well, it comes prepacked with virtually everything you need to run anything common | 03:34 |

| redvamp128 | ext4: I read the specs on it and right now-- from what I understand is that grub has some issues booting ubuntu off it .. (last what I read about it) | 04:28 |

| WIGGMPk | I am using Intrepid Ibex (2.6.27-11-generic (amd64)) and every time I load, the screenlets that I have active are not automatically going to the widget layer.. is anyone else experiencing this? Is this a problem with screenlets or the compiz?? Any help is appreciated, even though its not ubuntu specific. | 04:29 |
| tritium | muaniezzzzzzzzzz: please stop | 04:29 |
| gbear14275 | MaxRide: tritium: I need the account to still be able to pass mail... just want to disable login... that the correct thing? | 04:29 |
| redvamp128 | binarymutant: and found a post that says you have to recompile your kernel to use it-- plus -- you have to put the boot on a ext2 or ext3 then a redirect.. | 04:29 |
| wayStead | hey i installed ubuntu in virtualbox, and im having trouble getting it to use my native monitor resolution | 04:30 |
| tritium | gbear14275: I can't speak for mail. That switch locks the account. Please "man passwd" for more details. | 04:30 |
| jrib | /b #weechat | 04:30 |
| gbear14275 | thank you | 04:30 |
| jero | wayStead - mount the vboxadditions and install them. then all works | 04:30 |
| binarymutant | redvamp128, you have to custom compile a kernel? the one in Jaunty won't work with it? I thought that was the big feature of Jaunty :( | 04:30 |
| tritium | wayStead: the host OS, not ubuntu in a virtual machine, would be where you want to look at monitor resolution | 04:31 |
| orly_owl | http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/ is there a step by step guide for this? | 04:31 |

| orly_owl | is that bad? | 04:32 |
| karoshi | anyone here good with ati graphics? im having a strange problem | 04:33 |
| binarymutant | orly_owl, could be it's really all about what you need | 04:33 |
| redvamp128 | binarymutant: though I would ask that about a feature in #ubuntu+1 | 04:33 |
| binarymutant | redvamp128, good idea thanks | 04:34 |

| nyaa | MaxRide know any good guides for making hardware raids work with ubuntu? | 04:39 |
| kindofabuzz | but why didn't it auto see it all? | 04:39 |
| MaxRide | nyaa: In fact...just plan no. Software raid uses system resources where-as hardware raids do not. | 04:39 |
| jero | nyaa - with a fast cpu, a software raid0 is just as fast. | 04:39 |
| MaxRide | nyaa: With the proper hardware, the raid is set up in the cards BIOS (Not really seen by the OS)...IE: Dell servers | 04:39 |
| wayStead | jero - i am getting a "command not found" error when i tried to run the Vbox additions executable | 04:39 |
| wayStead | jero - i had to use sudo since it wanted to be run as admin | 04:40 |
| nyaa | jero - so I'll get the same advantage for speed? (if with a fast processor?) | 04:40 |
| * rlee just turns off his fakeraid in bios and uses dmraid | 04:40 | |
| jero | wayStead - note the its VBo... with capital B | 04:40 |
| scunizi | wayStead: in ubuntu or kubuntu | 04:40 |
| wayStead | jero - nvm i had to do ./VBox | 04:40 |
| wayStead | why is that anyway ? lol kinda annoying | 04:41 |
| jero | nyaa yes, hardware raids have other benefits. You do not require any drivers. Most onboard raid0 solutions are just software raids backed up with some hardware for setting up the raid | 04:41 |
| nyaa | maxride but its not that way from what I've seen, everything in linux is showing 2 drives instead of 1 | 04:41 |
| binarymutant | wayStead, ./ is like sh, it runs a program | 04:41 |
| muaniezzzzzzzzzz | hhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy | 04:41 |
| nyaa | jero thanks =) | 04:41 |
| wayStead | binarymutant - can i use csh with ubuntu ? | 04:42 |
| deserteagle | help! i rebooted after using a puppy linux live CD and now x server won't show anything | 04:42 |
| binarymutant | wayStead, yes, I might not sure how csh runs things though, it might run thing the same way as bash but not sure | 04:42 |
| binarymutant | I'm not sure* | 04:43 |
| MaxRide | jero: What's your experience with RAIDS and Ubuntu? Mine has been to set up the RAID in the card and the BIOS takes care of the rest (Although, I think the OS still sees the physical disks and knows it's a raid). | 04:43 |
| ArtVandalae | Hi guys, does anyone get a "Packages not trusted" when trying to install Mercurial? (aptitude install mercurial) | 04:43 |
| binarymutant | ArtVandalae, what repo are you using? | 04:44 |
| ArtVandalae | binarymutant, only the defaults :\ that's why I ask | 04:44 |
| bdelin881 | how do i use chmod to 775 a folder recursively? | 04:44 |
| ArtVandalae | bdelin881, chmod -R 775 folder | 04:44 |
| binarymutant | bdelin881, -r or -R probably | 04:44 |
| bdelin881 | hmm, doesn't seem like it's working | 04:45 |
| Bobblybook | can anyone guide me through making a startup script? | 04:45 |
| jero | MaxRide - if it is a real hardware raid, then the OS doesnt need to know anything. It just sees a single disk | 04:45 |
| binarymutant | ArtVandalae, do you have the ubuntu-keyring and debian-keyring installed? | 04:45 |
| GreenHorn | hey could someone give me an idea what command I should be using in terminal to take a lircd.conf file from my desktop and copying it over the current one in ect/lirc ? | 04:46 |
| deserteagle | everyone's got a working system... except me! please help | 04:46 |
| GreenHorn | ubuntu 8.10 fyi | 04:46 |
| deserteagle | all i have is a black screen | 04:46 |
| wayStead | can someone show me how to use csh with ubuntu ? | 04:46 |
| jero | MaxRide - on those semi hardware onboard raids, your OS just needs to have the driver. Pure software raids i never tried. I know OsX allows you to create software raids right in the partitioning process | 04:46 |
| binarymutant | GreenHorn, sudo cp Desktop/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/ | 04:46 |
| GreenHorn | if i could help i would desert first day here :( | 04:46 |
| ThePlaneskeeper | does anyone know why after the most recent updates in 8.10, it will not allow my screens to be set to 1920x1200 resolution? It will only allow up to 1600x1200 resolution at this time. | 04:46 |
| Dr_willis | GreenHorn, to copy fles from one system to another over the lan.. scp is very handy.. You need to insall ssh on both systems I think. (or at least the one you are copying to) | 04:46 |
| GreenHorn | thank you binarymutant I'll try now | 04:46 |
| tritium | wayStead: why are you wanting csh over bash? | 04:46 |
| scunizi | wayStead: why not just sudo sh ./VBox<yada yada> | 04:47 |
| MaxRide | nyaa: jero: I think you're going to want to invest in a proper RAID card to see an advantage. It sounds like you really want the performance increase, so it'll be worth it. | 04:47 |
| deserteagle | thanks GreenHorn =\ | 04:47 |
| RussM | GreenHorn, "sudo cp /etc/lirc/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf; sudo cp ~/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf" | 04:47 |
| WyWy_ | Hello | 04:47 |
| rlee | what's the best price to performance for raid cards? | 04:47 |
| rlee | like $100? | 04:47 |
| jero | MaxRide - the advantage i see is that you do not have to setup drivers, otherwise modern cpus are fast enough to handle software raids easily | 04:47 |
| RussM | GreenHorn, Oops, the first one should have been making a backup, but I forgot to change the second filename. | 04:48 |
| MaxRide | nyaa: Fairly cheap (for the cheap stuff)...Less than $100 if I remember correctly.....However, with RAID 0 I lost 800GB of data...so that's your 'fair warning'. | 04:48 |
| rlee | ouch | 04:48 |
| atom^x | deserteagle, ctl+alt+F1 may get you to a text login | 04:48 |

| deserteagle | atom^x: it doesn't :( | 04:48 |
| rlee | i remember losing three monthes work due to thrashing on my swap disk | 04:48 |
| GreenHorn | i don't really need a back up already have one I believe | 04:48 |
| GreenHorn | so should I just stick with this command? sudo cp /etc/lirc/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf; sudo cp ~/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf | 04:49 |
| jero | always have a large usb/eSata/firewire HDD with a powerswitch for the backup is my thinking | 04:49 |
| MaxRide | rlee: It was all my anime / movies. I had a 1TB Iomega external disk....be wary of Iomega...in total I've lost more than 2TB by buying from them. | 04:49 |
| deserteagle | atom^x: just before launching X i goto terminal 1 and i can log in... as soon as X launches, screen goes blank | 04:49 |
| jero | backup and turn it off, protecting it against any kind of attack as well | 04:49 |
| perlsyntax | Does anyone use pydev for eclipse? | 04:49 |
| RussM | GreenHorn, The general form is "sudo cp sourcefile destfile" | 04:50 |
| perlsyntax | i can't get it to update. | 04:50 |
| perlsyntax | odd | 04:50 |
| GreenHorn | yeehaw! thanks, that worked like magic. believe me I was trying everything. just what I needed | 04:50 |
| perlsyntax | anyone? | 04:50 |
| atom^x | deserteagle, can you choose recovery mode from grub? | 04:50 |
| perlsyntax | hello | 04:50 |
| Bobblybook | can someone help me with creating a startup script. I've got one but it's not working like I would like | 04:50 |

| jero | Newfie_rich log out and in should be enough | 04:56 |
| ikonia | uspenok: bash is a shell it can't do that, you want something like nmap | 04:56 |
| jero | Newfie_rich - maybe not even that, just start a terminal and check $PATH | 04:56 |
| uspenok | ikonia: thx | 04:56 |

| ubottu | GeffIsLegend, please see my private message | 04:57 |
| ikonia | terr_: how do you plan to do it over ssh ? | 04:57 |
| Flannel | jbu311: No, i386 is the generic term for the 32bit intel compatable processors. the -generic kernel does all the optimizations for the processors. | 04:58 |
| GeffIsLegend | ii keep getting the error message "problem with audio playback" | 04:58 |
| AndrewGearhart | jbu311: you've got the right one... the intel c2q can also run 64bit ... but the i386 is what you probably want. | 04:58 |
| scunizi | jbu311: although it shows i386 .. the kernel discovers x86 code and uses it. | 04:58 |
| wayStead | will xubuntu run fine in vbox ? | 04:58 |
| jero | wayStead yes | 04:58 |
| scunizi | wayStead: sure | 04:58 |
| jero | wayStead 8.04 will run faster in it than 8.10 | 04:58 |
| jbu311 | Flannel, so when I compile the kernel, and it creates the kernel images for different architectures, it gives me a kernel for x86 and i386...should I then choose x86? | 04:58 |
| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: that will update me... correct? I'm currently running with Intrepid... will that take me to something later (am I perhaps missing a kernel upgrade or something)? | 04:59 |
| wayStead | i googled around and people seem to state issues about problems with vboxadditions | 04:59 |
| Flannel | jbu311: Why are you compiling a kernel? | 04:59 |
| jbu311 | Flannel, or choose i386? | 04:59 |
| ikonia | jbu311: why are you compiling th kernel ? | 04:59 |
| terr_ | Also - I've looked at a few suggestions for small low power web servers and see new preicess from $199 for a fitPC up into the $400 range for an HP netbook 1000MI. Are there any suggestions for cheaper used machines? | 04:59 |
| jbu311 | Flannel, optimizing speed and space, more of a learning experience | 04:59 |
| ikonia | Flannel: too quick | 04:59 |
| terr_ | ikonia I'll use ssh | 04:59 |
| scunizi | AndrewGearhart: it will only update you on intrepid.. it won't take you to jaunty.. | 04:59 |
| ikonia | terr_: how do you plan to use a gui installer ? | 04:59 |
| ikonia | terr_: your other question is hardware and not on topic in here | 04:59 |
| terr_ | ikonia I don't want to use a gui installer. | 04:59 |
| Flannel | jbu311: You won't learn anything from compiling really. You effectively push a button and the software takes care of the rest. The -generic kernel does optimizations at runtime to take advantage of all of your processors abilities. | 05:00 |
| ikonia | terr_: so what would you run to install via ssh ? | 05:00 |
| terr_ | ikonia suggest a channel for the hw please. | 05:00 |
| MaxRide | terr_: I use "Sun Cobalts". They are a bit of a security risk but they're generally cheap ($100 to $250) and VERY nice. | 05:00 |
| jero | wayStead You ll have to find out yourself i guess. doesnt take long to install anyway | 05:00 |

| terr_ | ikonia: I've never used ubuntu. I currently run debian and on the other servers its red hat or OpenBSD | 05:01 |
| wayStead | dont really have a great comp | 05:01 |
| ScottG489 | So every time I hibernate it says that there isnt enough swap and sends me back to a locked screen login. Right now I have 4GB of RAM and 4 GB of swap (which is probaby too much but the ubuntu swap page said that you should have as much or twice as much swap then you do RAM). I originally installed to have 1.5 gigs of swap but then followed the swap faq to make more (2.5 to make it 4 total). So anyways now when I swap it very | 05:01 |
| ScottG489 | frequently says there isnt enough space. Its usually when I have quite a few programs open (or firefox with a lot of tabs) but I have checked my memory before using "free" before and after i tried to swap and the results were me having 3.4 gigs of RAM free and 3.0 gigs of swap free. So I dont understand how it could be telling me I didnt have enough swap free. Any help? | 05:01 |
| jero | wayStead - which version of Ubuntu did you use, and what cpu is it? | 05:01 |
| ikonia | terr_: ok - so you won't be able to install ubuntu via ssh | 05:01 |
| eyehatesludge | ive got a general computer question, if i installed the x86-64 version of ubuntu will ia64 versions of other operating systems install on my computer | 05:01 |
| ikonia | terr_: the ubuntu installer is gui based, and the non-gui installer is on a seperate cd that does not have ssh installed on it | 05:01 |
| terr_ | ikonia: wht sort of crap is that? | 05:01 |
| wayStead | jero- i used 8.10 and using a penitum M 2.0 ghz 2gb ram (gave ubuntu 512mb) | 05:01 |
| ikonia | terr_: it's a home user desktop system | 05:01 |
| terr_ | ikonia: I'll build my own CD | 05:02 |
| MaxRide | terr_: The server I just recommended you is configured via a browser...so it's easy to learn (If you can configure a WRT54G, then you can config this)....you can also console in and get the full linux experience | 05:02 |
| ScottG489 | I have ubuntu 8.10 | 05:02 |
| atom^x | deserteagle, perhaps rename xorg.conf to xorg.backup, ten rename xorg.conf.failsafe to xorg.conf | 05:02 |
| terr_ | MaxRide: I'll have a look... checking now. | 05:02 |
| jero | wayStead - then you want to use jeOS and do apt-get install Xorg, apt get install xdm, apt get install icewm - jeOS 8.04 or 7.10 - 8.10 or 9.04 are SLOW! | 05:03 |
| jero | wayStead - also ubuntu 8.04 will be faster than 8.10 | 05:03 |
| jero | in the vbox | 05:03 |
| MaxRide | terr_: By the way: What are your requirements? HTML serving? Samba? FTP? E-Mail? | 05:03 |
| deserteagle | atom^x: now at least the X cursor shows up in the middle of the screen (won't move when i move the mouse) any sugestions? | 05:03 |
| terr_ | MaxRide: all of the above | 05:04 |
| GeffIsLegend | none of those links are helping me with skype, i already tried all the support links and i still keep getting "problem with audio playback" error | 05:04 |
| atom^x | deserteagle, you might try to reconfigure X as well, xorg-conf i think | 05:04 |
| outbackwifi | !hi | 05:04 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 05:04 |
| MaxRide | terr_: Well, Cobalts do FTP, E-mail, Web sites, DNS, ETC....I think you'll need to do some hacking (well, installing) for Samba. | 05:04 |
| jero | Newfie_rich - maybe you want to do it with gedit then - try sudo gedit /etc/environment -- replace gedit with your prefered editor like vim vi nano etc | 05:04 |
| wayStead | jero - i dont get what u said about jeOS,. whats apt-get ? | 05:05 |
| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: no dice "Package linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic has no installation candidate" | 05:05 |
| deserteagle | atom^x: through the recovery mode or live cd? | 05:05 |
| terr_ | MaxRide: I'll install everything from scratch.. just looking for HW suggestions | 05:05 |
| scunizi | AndrewGearhart: open synaptic and search for it there.. synaptic is in System>Admin | 05:05 |
| atom^x | deserteagle, i would try recovery mode... | 05:06 |
| MaxRide | terr_: This hardware may not like that. No CD-ROM or anything...It's fairly picky. | 05:06 |
| wayStead | jero - i dont get what u said about jeOS,. whats apt-get ? | 05:06 |
| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: ah. I see the problem. | 05:06 |
| jero | wayStead - jeOS 8.04 is an about 100mb iso which installs a minimal system without any display manager/environment, but with network access . With apt-get install <package.deb> you can load your own packages and create a lightweight environment | 05:06 |
| linux_guy | I would like to pin a subfolder from my home folder to the 'Places' directory that you see in the panel. how can I do this? | 05:06 |
| scunizi | AndrewGearhart: ? | 05:06 |
| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: uname -r is reporting a different kernel | 05:06 |
| terr_ | MaxRide: then I'll say next | 05:06 |
| linux_guy | ex: Home, Pictures, video, music, "new folder" | 05:06 |
| MaxRide | terr_: I also like Dell servers. | 05:07 |
| MaxRide | terr_: Parts are abundent on Ebay and they aren't very expensive. | 05:07 |
| jero | wayStead - the packages you need for a lightweight icewm environment i listed to you - Xorg , xdm, icewm - then reboot after you got those with sudo apt-get install | 05:07 |
| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: uname -r = 2.6.24-18-generic while build-essential is doing linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic | 05:07 |
| terr_ | MaxRide: Hard to say... generally I don't like Dell. | 05:07 |
| Kokloco | Hi all | 05:07 |
| MaxRide | terr_: =/ Well. At my home I use an HP DL360....but HP servers are LOUD! | 05:07 |
| scunizi | AndrewGearhart: you need to reboot into the new kernel | 05:07 |
| terr_ | MaxRide: I have several machines here - jsut they are not small | 05:08 |
| linux_guy | navigate to parent folder and sudo mv new\ folder "location" ? | 05:08 |
| Kokloco | I noticed that OpenOffice has been released in version 3.0. The one I have installed is 2.4, and the Update Manager doesnt tell me anything about it, anyone can help me please? | 05:08 |
| terr_ | MaxRide: HP netbook 1000MI $387 new | 05:08 |
| nickrud | linux_guy, navigate to the folder, select bookmark -> add bookmark | 05:08 |
| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: ? how do I "reboot into the new kernel"? | 05:08 |
| MaxRide | terr_: Is this a test platform? | 05:08 |
| terr_ | Is there a channel which specializes in small form factor HW? | 05:09 |
| terr_ | MaxRide: nope - commercial product & runs on Ubuntu. Impressive | 05:09 |
| Kokloco | In UButu reposteries I just can find the 2.4, is there any reaso for this? | 05:09 |
| scunizi | AndrewGearhart: the .27-7 kernel looks to be the newest..so just reboot and on the grub menu you should be able to choose.. it's usually the top on the list | 05:09 |
| nickrud | Kokloco, it should be in the next release; an ubuntu release's packages are 'frozen' on release, and only replaced for major bug reasons | 05:09 |
| MaxRide | terr_: ....You are making a commercial product? | 05:09 |
| linux_guy | nickrud, i am officially embarrassed | 05:09 |
| nickrud | linux_guy, heh. I won't ask you to change your nick ;p | 05:10 |
| terr_ | MaxRide: not at this point - HP has.. 7 watts - netbook | 05:10 |
| Kokloco | ok, | 05:10 |
| Kokloco | I as afaraid my system was not working properly | 05:10 |
| linux_guy | *linux_guy is now known as Captain Obvious | 05:10 |
| Kokloco | I was afaraid my system was not working properly | 05:10 |
| nickrud | rflol | 05:10 |
| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: ah... I think I know the problem.... the menu... I had some issues initially... I have multiple drives in my system and it was selecting the wrong drive... so I've been hesitant to let the upgrades change menu.lst (I believe it is) | 05:10 |
| joshjtl | hi, anyone know how I would go about adding directories to computer:/// found in Places>Computer menu | 05:10 |
| wayStead | jero - thks again for the help | 05:11 |
| scunizi | AndrewGearhart: been there done that.. | 05:11 |
| Kokloco | nickrud, and when is the new realease comming? | 05:11 |
| linux_guy | nickrud, thanks man | 05:11 |
| jero | wayStead good luck with it, VMs are lots of fun | 05:11 |
| nickrud | joshjtl, only by adding new devices/partitions, that's it's purpose | 05:11 |
| MaxRide | terr_: Well, the best I can tell you is that if you're trying to run a server on a netbook...than any old desktop will work. | 05:11 |
| nickrud | !jaunty | Kokloco | 05:11 |
| ubottu | Kokloco: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 05:11 |
| jero | wayStead and you can carry them with you on your next system OS independend | 05:11 |
| terr_ | MaxRide: I already run on old desktops and they work greate | 05:11 |
| Kokloco | nickrud, ok thanks | 05:11 |
| joshjtl | nickrud: but isnt it a something.desktop file? | 05:11 |
| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: so, based on the fact that i've probably screwed up the menu.lst.... what do I do now? /me raises his arms in frustration with himself for doing system updates late at night | 05:12 |
| MaxRide | terr_: I'll bet....I'd say stick with them. | 05:12 |
| nickrud | joshjtl, I don't believe so; but can't swear to it. | 05:12 |
| joshjtl | because if it is, that can be easily edited | 05:12 |
| scunizi | AndrewGearhart: there is a command .. something like sudo update-grub. but I'm not sure what it is exactly | 05:12 |
| joshjtl | does anyone have a strong preference of either banshee, or rhythmbox? | 05:13 |
| === jakswa|away is now known as jakswa | ||
| joshjtl | I'm trying to decide which to use | 05:13 |
| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: that appears to be it | 05:13 |
| terr_ | MaxRide: I might have to.. but I looked at that UBUNTU netbook and it got me thinking. Even a computer on a chip like a 133mHz class machine will suffice | 05:13 |
| scunizi | AndrewGearhart: cool | 05:14 |
| nazmul | hh | 05:14 |
| MaxRide | terr_: In the Navy, we had webservers on laptops (Seriously....desinged that way)....so it should work. | 05:14 |

| Titan8990 | !alsa | majortool | 05:15 |
| ubottu | majortool: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:15 |
| === Mr is now known as Guest99283 | ||
| majortool | Titan8990, I know about also. This is a hardware signal issue. This probably has little to do with alsa. I have sound through the speakers. | 05:15 |
| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: is there a good way for me to determine which drive (hd0,4) or (hd1,4) is the one I'm currently using? | 05:16 |
| scunizi | AndrewGearhart: check the link I gave you.. It has a whole run down on the how to's. | 05:16 |

So I dont understand how it could be telling me I didnt have enough swap free. Any help? | 05:16 |
| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: k, thanks. :-) | 05:17 |
| Titan8990 | majortool: I thought you were referring the notification some windows drivers have when an audio device is connected | 05:17 |
| joshjtl | how can I make synaptic uninstall all dependencies installed by a particular application. So when I install something, then decide I don't want it, it removes those dependencies that were only installed because that app needed them. | 05:17 |
| Titan8990 | joshjtl: sudo apt-get autoremove | 05:17 |
| Titan8990 | joshjtl: that removes uneeded dependencies | 05:18 |
| joshjtl | Titan8990: is that an app? autoremove | 05:18 |
| scunizi | AndrewGearhart: good luck.. I use to use vmware quite a bit until I had issues with one of the versions that just wouldn't work.. so I switched to virtualbox.. oh by the way.. install dkms .. it will help with kernel upgrades | 05:18 |
| majortool | Titan8990, yes that is what I am talking about. Alsa is the driver that facilitates audio connectivity to the kernel. I don't believe it handles signals for plugged in hardware directly. | 05:18 |
| kindofabuzz | joshjtl, built into aptitude | 05:18 |
| Titan8990 | joshjtl: open the terminal and copy and paste that | 05:18 |

| mikeshollen | windows key skate | 05:19 |
| kindofabuzz | joshjtl, man apt-get =) | 05:19 |
| joshjtl | but now I know | 05:19 |
| joshjtl | kindofabuzz: uh I know what apt-get is | 05:19 |
| mikeshollen | skate2: next to alt | 05:19 |
| joshjtl | I was asking about something else | 05:19 |
| Titan8990 | majortool: yes, that is handled by alsa modules as well, the most common in snd_hda_intel | 05:19 |
| kindofabuzz | joshjtl, it how you install stuff | 05:19 |
| kindofabuzz | from repos | 05:19 |
| scunizi | AndrewGearhart: I had issues with the.. never followed up on it to figure out. so I just reintalled creating new vm's | 05:19 |
| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: because honestly... this entire adventure is so I can boot XP to run Civilization 3 Complete! | 05:19 |
| esworp | Is there a tool that I can see EXIF info from photos for ubuntu? does gimp do it? | 05:19 |
| kindofabuzz | joshjtl, just run sudo apt-get autoremove | 05:19 |
| joshjtl | kindofabuzz: uh I know dude... | 05:19 |
| joshjtl | sheesh | 05:20 |
| Titan8990 | joshjtl: I told you what it did..... it removes uneeded dependencies, if you would like to know more, type: man apt-get into the terminal | 05:20 |
| kindofabuzz | joshjtl, well why did you just say you didn't know what it was? | 05:20 |
| scunizi | AndrewGearhart: vbox has usb support if you need it only if you install the version from thier website. | 05:20 |

| AndrewGearhart | scunizi: here goes... rebooting. wish me luck on getting to the flipside! | 05:32 |
| Looter | I can boot from grub fine and the option for vista shows up there but when i click on teh vista optino in grub it just takes me to the vista boot loader. There It lists Vista and XP (xp was on teh hard drive that Ubuntu has now been put on) When I click on vista from the vista boot loader i get a winload.exe missing error. I ve ran the repair off the cd and nothign. I can moutn the vista drive from within ubuntu so I see all | 05:32 |

| Bobblybook | Dr_willis: ok one thing before I reboot and test it out: how would I call another script file from within rc.local? (It's a wpa_supplicant script, if that matters.) | 05:39 |
| nexxt_ | root@zomg:/etc/init.d# aplay -l | 05:39 |

| Dr_willis | Bobblybook, sh whatever.script or '/path/to/whatever/script &' note the & | 05:39 |
| Dr_willis | Bobblybook, you may want ' sh whatever.script & ' | 05:39 |
| === andresj_ is now known as andresj | ||
| Bobblybook | Dr_willis, so if my script is in /Documents/wifi/scriptname, it would look like: sh /Documents/wifi/scriptname & | 05:41 |
| constantine | ok I ran simple-ccsm and went to custom and it rebooted me! | 05:41 |
| Dr_willis | Bobblybook, you SURE thtas the right path? why sould you have a /DOcuments directory? sure you dont mean /home/username/Documents/whatever ? | 05:41 |
| jhesketh_ | What is a good distribution for the Asus Aspire One? Looking at the Ubuntu wiki there is a lot of terminal work required to get it going... is there an aspire derivative of ubuntu? | 05:41 |
| Dr_willis | jhesketh_, that eeebuntu works well for me.. and the AcerAspireOne Puppy variant also works well.. then theres the One that comes with them. :) | 05:42 |
| Bobblybook | Dr_willis, yes that's what I mean. Wasn't sure whether I needed the absolute path | 05:42 |
| loafers | How do I use VMware Player on Ubuntu? The only files available for download are .rpm and .bundle, which don't open. | 05:42 |
| Dr_willis | Bobblybook, when in doubt use the full path | 05:42 |
| arvind_khadri | constantine: you dont need to run it...System->preferences->compiz manager | 05:42 |
| shinshaila | hello whats the fastest way to get wine on my pc | 05:42 |
| Bobblybook | Dr_willis: ok. The syntax is correct though? | 05:42 |

| arvind_khadri | constantine: check out the settings there.... | 05:44 |
| constantine | isnt' that a bug if ubuntu is rebooting when I hit custom, though? | 05:44 |
| Looter | dualboot issues...am I wasting my time? I know that probably sound slike a can of worms but can I get someone to at least attempt to give me some help? | 05:44 |
| loafers | arvind_khadri, Yes I'm aware of vbox, but usb is not supported on ose and I spent many nights getting it to detect cd in the cdrom, so that's why i don't want to use it | 05:44 |
| Yuva | is there any way to increase the size of the /usr directory i am running of space..:( | 05:44 |
| shinshaila | i have to manually run dpkg b how do i do that | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | Yuva, you got /usr on its own parittion? | 05:45 |
| arvind_khadri | loafers: then you will have to compile VMware... and ya iirc to run vbox there is a separate kernel | 05:45 |
| arvind_khadri | shinshaila: sudo dpkg | 05:45 |
| Yuva | Dr_willis: yes | 05:45 |
| loafers | I could never get my cdrom to work for vbox | 05:46 |
| shinshaila | thank you | 05:46 |
| arvind_khadri | shinshaila: sudo dpkg <options> <filename> | 05:46 |
| Yuva | Dr_willis: dev/sdb3 | 05:46 |
| Dr_willis | Yuva, then you resize the parittion not the directory. :) gparted can do tht.. You may have to correct fstab , if the uuid changes | 05:46 |
| Dr_willis | Yuva, andyou may want to use a live cd + gparted to do the resizing | 05:46 |
| constantine | thanks for your help y'all I'll be back for the real learning | 05:46 |
| constantine | this OS is redonkulus good | 05:47 |
| arvind_khadri | constantine: :) | 05:47 |
| Bobblybook | Dr_willis: Success! Thanks. Now, I don't suppose you have any experience with wpa_supplicant? | 05:49 |
| Dr_willis | Bobblybook, never used it. never needed it | 05:50 |
| Yuva | Dr_willis: i have ubuntu live cd is that contain gparted | 05:50 |
| Dr_willis | Yuva, you can always apt-get install gparted if its not installed | 05:50 |
| Bobblybook | Dr_willis: as in, used something else for WPA, or never used WPA/wireless? | 05:50 |
| arvind_khadri | Yuva: no ... you will have to install it.. | 05:50 |
| Yuva | Dr_willis: cd is read only memory na... how will it work?? sorry if i am wrong:P | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | Yuva, ram man... ram.. :) | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | Bobblybook, ive not had to fight with wireless much.. if it dident work.. i used wires :) but now wireless for the most part just works for my machines | 05:52 |
| constantine | ubuntu is still restarting when I make the compiz changes | 05:52 |
| Out_Cold | so i have been trying to get my TV going with 'xrandr --output TV --auto' and the TV responds to the output with a flicker.. but it's a black screen. | 05:53 |
| Yuva | Dr_willis: after editing how can i find th UID of the partition to edit the fstab | 05:53 |
| Bobblybook | Dr_willis, is wpa_supplicant still needed to use WPA encryption for networks? I'm running 8.10 intrepid now, but the guides I read might be old. | 05:53 |

| Dr_willis | chunty, to do what exactly? | 06:20 |
| so | net | 06:20 |
| chunty | learn based off of conversations | 06:21 |
| pano_fi | ^cheeky: it could be due to your hardware missing (supported) sensors | 06:21 |
| nexxt_ | Titan btw i installed OSS from source and it fixed the sound problem | 06:21 |
| prince_jammys | wolter:try PS1=$(tput setaf 8)$PS1$(tput sgr0) in your shell | 06:21 |
| ^cheeky | pano_fi, this is a new machine i put together was hoping it would have sensors :/ | 06:21 |
| prince_jammys | wolter: ah, no. there's more | 06:21 |
| constantine | can't get compiz to work due to my vm, can i get the visual effects any other way using a vm? | 06:21 |
| wolter | prince_jammys, well, i got the color back | 06:22 |
| wolter | whats that? | 06:22 |
| ikonia | ^cheeky: just because it's new doesn't mean it will have sensors support | 06:22 |
| prince_jammys | wolter:should have been PS1="\[$(tput setaf 8)\]$PS1$\[(tput sgr0)\]" | 06:22 |
| prince_jammys | wolter: but you'd have to start another shell first | 06:23 |
| bn43 | anyone using pon to dialup? | 06:23 |
| wolter | prince_jammys, nah, it works right away | 06:23 |
| wolter | prince_jammys, but, is the setaf 8 command restoring the gnome-terminal color? | 06:23 |
| wolter | or which command then? | 06:23 |
| ^cheeky | ikonia, so there isnt anything i can do ? | 06:23 |
| prince_jammys | wolter: yeah, but if you try the second (correct) one, you should do it in a new shell | 06:24 |
| prince_jammys | wolter: tput gets the escape sequences from the terminfo database. setaf sets the foreground | 06:24 |
| wolter | prince_jammys, ok, so tput setaf 8 restores color | 06:24 |
| wolter | ahh hm | 06:24 |
| wolter | and the 8? | 06:24 |
| prince_jammys | wolter: no, sgr0 does | 06:24 |
| mib_j28yrq | Hello | 06:25 |
| prince_jammys | wolter: try other numbers. echo "$(tput setaf 2)hello$(tput sgr0)" | 06:25 |
| ikonia | ^cheeky: not if it's not supported | 06:25 |
| ^cheeky | ikonia, ok thank you | 06:25 |
| wolter | prince_jammys, the tput sgr0 doesn't execute, but rather it appears as part of the prompt | 06:25 |
| mib_j28yrq | How are you | 06:25 |
| mib_j28yrq | I'm is Aun | 06:26 |

| quibbler | mib_j28yrq: hello | 06:27 |
| prince_jammys | wolter: (new shell) PS1="\[$(tput setaf 8)\]$PS1\[$(tput sgr0)\]" | 06:27 |
| wolter | prince_jammys, that does nothing | 06:28 |

| Daft_Punk | Fezzler, are you using custom settings for theme files before the upgrade? IE: your own msn skins for amsn and your own themes for emerald etc... | 06:30 |
| Fezzler | yes | 06:31 |
| Daft_Punk | Fezzler, i would update but im scared of my system going fubar | 06:31 |

| Sage-X | Scunizi: thanks of course it will run faster =) | 06:34 |
| Daft_Punk | connar, lol why are you asking me? i have no idea | 06:34 |
| connar | Daft_Punk: is there a command for it? | 06:34 |
| |Talon| | i installed that package dmraid or draid or whatever it is, anyways im now able to mount my raided drives and browse its content.. but I put it into fstab, exactly how it is listed in /dev/mapper and when i boot, it never mounts... is dmraid not started yet? how would i mount this on boot so I dont haveto sudo mount it every time i restart? | 06:34 |
| Yuva | hi i want to increase my /usr directory but in gparted it not allowing me to increase the size but it allows me to decrease the size | 06:34 |
| connar | okay | 06:34 |
| scunizi | Sage-X: that alone will convince him | 06:34 |
| Daft_Punk | connar, im not sure why you are asking me, i have no idea about linux honestly, just that Sage-X asked an easy question | 06:34 |
| connar | Does any1 here have an idea about how to check internet traffic | 06:34 |
| Daft_Punk | !ask connar | 06:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask connar | 06:35 |
| mib_j28yrq | quibbler : Are you play MSN ? | 06:35 |
| Daft_Punk | doh | 06:35 |
| Daft_Punk | !ask | connar | 06:35 |
| ubottu | connar: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 06:35 |
| prince_jammys | heh | 06:35 |
| connar | ubottu: okay | 06:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about okay | 06:35 |
| Yuva | hi i want to increase my /usr directory but in gparted it not allowing me to increase the size but it allows me to decrease the size ?? help me plaease | 06:35 |
| quibbler | mib_j28yrq: no | 06:35 |
| Sage-X | yes it will but I will have some trouble with him cause he thinks he is a "DJ" is there any software out there you guys would suggest | 06:35 |
| Daft_Punk | Sage-X, dj software for linux? | 06:36 |
| prince_jammys | Yuva: is there space next to the partition for it to grow? | 06:36 |
| mib_j28yrq | quibble: Why ? | 06:36 |
| Sage-X | yes | 06:36 |
| Sage-X | Draft_punk: yea like anything | 06:36 |
| Yuva | prince_jammys: no /home directory is followed by that | 06:36 |
| Daft_Punk | Sage-X, lots of mixing software for linux, google "linux dj software" or "linux mixing software" | 06:36 |
| Sage-X | ok thanks | 06:36 |
| Daft_Punk | Sage-X, also, its daft not draft | 06:37 |
| scunizi | Sage-X: medibuntu has lots of stuff for mobile dj ,,, recording multitrack etc. | 06:37 |
| quibbler | mib_j28yrq: this is a support channel, if you wish to just chat please join #ubuntu-offtoics | 06:37 |
| Sage-X | sorry I have the yuck yellow text for my irc pms and my vrightness is UBER high | 06:37 |
| Daft_Punk | Sage-X, scunizi is talking about a different distro of ubuntu i believe, called medibuntu that is used for media applications mostly | 06:37 |
| Sage-X | thanks all | 06:37 |
| prince_jammys | Yuva: well, you need some unused space if you're going to expand the other partition | 06:37 |
| Yuva | prince_jammys: i have 50gigs of unused partition | 06:38 |
| Sage-X | hmm | 06:38 |
| Yuva | prince_jammys: i have 50gigs of unused free space but it is in the end... | 06:38 |
| core1 | ghyfdhdfsfyd | 06:38 |
| Daft_Punk | Sage-X, also tell your friend that linux support is mostly free, even though you can pay for professional support and there is live chat and the official ubuntu forums to post on and browse for issues, also tell him the security is way higher than that of windows | 06:38 |
| Daft_Punk | no virus :D | 06:38 |

| dosnubbie | Problem: My linux kernel is reported as compiled in gcc-4.2.3 VMware's kernels will be compiled with gcc-4.2.4 as such it doesn't want to work how do I get gcc-4.2.4 when aptitude only shows 4.2? | 06:38 |
| prince_jammys | Yuva: you'll have to move the stuff around then, i think | 06:38 |
| nerdario2 | wassap muh nurdzzz | 06:38 |
| prince_jammys | Yuva: i've done it before, but i had to juggle the partitions around | 06:39 |
| Yuva | http://www.mibbit.com/pb/elqC3X my fdisk -l | 06:39 |
| Daft_Punk | is there any way to get a menu bar with tint2? ive seen screenshots with something similar to tint2 with a menubar and task tray that was not trayer | 06:39 |
| Sage-X | Daft_Punk: yes I told him it was free and better security but being 16 and trying to reach out to my hard-headed friend I cant get through to him without a hard bargin | 06:41 |
| Daft_Punk | Sage-X, smack him | 06:41 |
| Yuva | prince_jammys: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/elqC3X my fdisk -l | 06:41 |
| prince_jammys | Sage-X: if he's really into sound mixing, he'll probably find the linux alternatives substandard | 06:41 |
| Sage-X | Daft_Punk: or just SSH over some DDos xD | 06:41 |
| scunizi | argg.. how do I close a pm window in irssi? | 06:42 |
| Daft_Punk | Sage-X, with the new ubuntu intrepid version, you can use the installer disc to install ubuntu on his computer as a program on windows, so he can test it out without changing anything | 06:42 |
| Sage-X | prince_jammys: thnx | 06:42 |
| Sage-X | k I got my cd | 06:42 |
| Sage-X | I can give it to him and its his choice wether to use it or not | 06:42 |
| Daft_Punk | tell him just to install it as a program first on windows, also he can boot to the cd and use the live feature to test it out, also probably show him some screen shots of some custom ubuntu desktops that look wicked | 06:43 |
| prince_jammys | why are you so bent on him installing ubuntu if he doesn't want to, anyway? | 06:43 |
| Sage-X | Daft_Punk: I think I just have to do it with him and do the "install inside of windows" option | 06:44 |
| Daft_Punk | prince_jammys, because windows simply sucks... its a multiconglamorate corporation out to get your money with the uber lame releases of windows that upon them "trying" fail to release a GOOD version | 06:44 |
| prince_jammys | yeah, and ... | 06:44 |
| Sage-X | windows has print code in the assembly cursing gates lol | 06:44 |
| prince_jammys | then you get stuck feeling like you have to fix any problem he has | 06:44 |
| Daft_Punk | prince_jammys, dont you want all your friends to be converted? i surely do | 06:44 |
| prince_jammys | Daft_Punk: no, i don't convert people | 06:44 |
| Daft_Punk | prince_jammys, naw, tell him to rtfm | 06:45 |
| Daft_Punk | prince_jammys, you are a pure one | 06:45 |
| prince_jammys | if they have an interest in it, i can help | 06:45 |
| prince_jammys | if they don't, i don't force the issue | 06:45 |
| Daft_Punk | the world would be a better place if EVERYONE used linux and m$ didnt exist | 06:45 |
| prince_jammys | in part because i know linux is not for everyone, and also because i don't want to be guilt-tripped into full-time support | 06:46 |
| bindaas | add the third dimension to that :soalris | 06:46 |
| Sage-X | afk | 06:46 |

| prince_jammys | Daft_Punk: plus, there are certain fields where linux doesn't shine so much (games, the music mixing he was talking about) | 06:47 |
| prince_jammys | don't get me wrong. i've been running linux exclusively for years | 06:47 |
| Daft_Punk | prince_jammys, oh for sure | 06:47 |
| Daft_Punk | prince_jammys, but you can substitute that with mac osx ;) | 06:48 |
| prince_jammys | there you go | 06:48 |
| prince_jammys | :) | 06:48 |
| Sage-X | mac osx is a bomb riddled with BSD all over it | 06:48 |
| Daft_Punk | Sage-X, not if you use mac hardware | 06:48 |
| Daft_Punk | mac hardware is specially designed for their software, if you run mac osx on a non-mac pc, yeah bsd | 06:49 |
| Sage-X | Daft_Punk: oh yeh besides it requires poopy hardware for expensive prices | 06:49 |
| === me is now known as Guest88385 | ||
| Daft_Punk | Sage-X, actually the hardware designed for the mac is higher quality than your average run of the mill pc | 06:49 |
| Sage-X | my i7 pc can run osx | 06:49 |
| Daft_Punk | Sage-X, that is ONE reason it is higher priced | 06:49 |

| OmnipotentEntity | hi, dumb question, I'm trying to write a one liner to rename all of the files containing the word 'bad' to good whatever it was: example badpidgeon.jpg becomes goodpidgeon.jpg. I've come up with this but it isn't working, any tips: find . -name "bad*" -exec mv '{}' `echo '{}' | sed 's/bad/good/'` \; | 06:58 |
| prince_jammys | OmnipotentEntity: can't go about it that way | 06:59 |
| prince_jammys | find is not a shell, so your pipeline won't work | 06:59 |

| TimStarling | my video brightness hotkeys don't work, anyone know what package would be responsible? | 07:06 |
| adante | how can i just get a working environment so i may e.g. mount my boot partition and inspect the grub.conf? i have tried alt+F2 to another terminal but when i try mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot it says invalid argument? | 07:07 |
| wolter | how do i get launchers to use the binaries in $PATH? | 07:07 |
| bitfish | wolter, use the absolute path | 07:07 |
| wolter | bitfish, but can't i make desktop files look for binaries on the $PATH ? | 07:08 |
| bitfish | wolter, sure, *if* they are *in* $PATH | 07:08 |
| wolter | bitfish, there are in $PATH.. | 07:08 |
| wolter | bitfish, i can run the binaries from terminal, but cannot from the desktop files. | 07:09 |
| adante | how do i mount things in the rescue cd? | 07:09 |
| adante | i try "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot" and it fails with an invalid argument | 07:10 |
| bitfish | wolter, it doesn't make any sense to run cli-only applications from a desktop file | 07:10 |
| bitfish | like, running "top" from a desktop file | 07:10 |
| wolter | bitfish, thats not the case. And I am not asking you whether is has or has not any sense, but just how to do it. | 07:11 |
| wolter | bitfish, I have applications installed on my home path, which have launchers in a folder that is added to $PATH which I can run from terminal, but I want to be able to just write the command on the desktop files, but I am not. | 07:11 |

| psywiped | no heleo | 07:17 |
| adante | bwayne: i tried booting the server cd and going to the rescue option and it looked like it wanted to reinstall all of linux so i decided to back out because there is infact stuff on there i'd like to keep | 07:17 |
| bwayne | adante: any livecd will accomplish that. | 07:17 |
| psywiped | adante go download the regular live cd | 07:17 |
| scunizi | heLEO: are you trying to move you /home? is that the reason you're doing that? | 07:17 |
| adante | heh ok | 07:17 |
| bwayne | adante: when you get to the menu, press ctrl-2 | 07:17 |
| adante | was hoping to not have to download as i'm not on a big pipe here | 07:17 |
| psywiped | no not trying to move home wanting to move some files inside of home without reuploading them | 07:17 |
| bwayne | adante: when you boot from the server cd, you ought to be able to change tty's. | 07:18 |
| adante | bwayne: ok | 07:18 |
| bwayne | adante: from there you can mount /root and vim grub.conf | 07:18 |
| heLEO | scunizi: i want to increate my /usr directory but /home is followed by it so cant able increase the size thats y..:P | 07:18 |
| adante | bwayne: in the meantime when i try to boot now it can't find my root uuid, now i am trying to 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot' and it says error invalid argument, any idea why? | 07:19 |
| heLEO | i want to increate my /usr directory size but /usr is followed by/home so cant able increase the size thats y.. | 07:19 |
| prince_jammys | heLEO: yeah, you can do that. but you could also shrink the /home partition | 07:19 |
| nubuntu | sifhs | 07:19 |
| prince_jammys | heLEO: you don't have to delete it. anyway, if you choose to, it won't ruin the OS | 07:19 |

| n8tuser | anyone remember how to tell VMware that I have two nics and it should use the 2nd nic eth1 instead of defaulting to eth0 -- so my guest can acquire the ip addr range of the 2nd ip also (bridge) ? | 07:20 |
| adante | bwayne: yeah that directory does exist | 07:21 |
| scunizi | heLEO: without really messing things up you could create a new partition large enough for /usr and point the system there.. or if you have enough space make a new partition for /home .. move your files.. redo /etc/fstab to reflect the new /home location and uuid #. shrink the old home after a reboot to the new home and increase /usr. not sure why you need to increase /usr.. what's going in there that takes so much room? | 07:21 |
| heLEO | prince_jammys: my gparted image http://i40.tinypic.com/xbn0hc.png give me solution to increase the /usr directory | 07:21 |

| freazer | psywiped: if you want to do so on Windows machines you can share your local partitions using SAMBA with full right access - if its between Linux machines there are other protocols like using WinSCP and SSHD (an ssh service) | 07:26 |
| psywiped | and how do i do it if im off site and loged in thru ssh | 07:27 |
| freazer | psywiped: if you're between linux machines there's another protocol that's better to use than Samba, but I don't use it because all my friends and family are windows bound >.< | 07:27 |
| adante | ZiRiS: sorry where is the grub doc exactly there? | 07:27 |
| prince_jammys | heLEO: just slide it as if you were shrinking a window on your desktop | 07:27 |
| heLEO | prince_jammys: ok i will give it a try..;) | 07:28 |
| lockd | how can I build qt4 apps with qmake-qt4? all the include directories get switched to qt3 | 07:28 |
| freazer | psywiped: You can use OpenVPN to tunnel into the machine's home network to directly access Samba and other network shares, or you can use SSH and graphical SSH tools like WinSCP (it will look like an FTP client) | 07:28 |

| chunty | looking for an AI bot that will learn based off of others conversations | 07:29 |
| ZiRiS | adante: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ | 07:29 |
| psywiped | im on a vista mechean right now and im not sure how to do an x session | 07:29 |
| prince_jammys | psywiped: that's if the remote machine is running X | 07:30 |
| freazer | psywiped: to do prince_jammy's tunneling idea you just use the -X option on SSH, it will invoke X forwarding and then you can just run a nautilus, konquerer, or your preferred file browser | 07:30 |
| quibbler | arrenlex: you have to register in order to inlog in the forums | 07:30 |
| ice_cream | AI bot? o.O | 07:30 |
| adante | ZiRiS: ok where is the grub doc exactly there? | 07:30 |
| arrenlex | quibbler: Yes, I am. | 07:30 |
| quibbler | arrenlex: then inlog | 07:30 |
| bwayne | adante: UUID is just another way of refering to a device, like /dev/sda1 | 07:30 |
| arrenlex | quibbler: It lists my account name and informs me that it does not have permission or has been disabled. | 07:30 |
| n8tuser | psywiped-> get a putty or a vnc client first | 07:30 |
| ZiRiS | adante: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/index.php?pid=5 | 07:31 |
| bwayne | adante: i don't prefer UUID's in my grub. i prefer device paths. | 07:31 |
| ice_cream | yea, uuid is ugly and has that auto-generated look | 07:31 |
| ZiRiS | Anyone know how to fix video issues in 8.10? I can't even get xserver to load after 'installing' a vid driver. | 07:31 |
| darkblue_B | bwayne: do you know how I can fnd a device path to my Acer stock ieee1394 port/disk? | 07:32 |
| bwayne | darkblue_B: "port/disk"? | 07:32 |
| ^cheeky | anyone play any RTS games ? | 07:32 |
| adante | bwayne: yeah well i don't like it either especially considering the drama it's giving me now but that's what is default now -- i'm just trying to fix it | 07:32 |
| ^cheeky | sorry | 07:32 |
| ^cheeky | wrong box | 07:32 |
| darkblue_B | bwayne: I dont know.. tell me what the rght terminology is | 07:32 |
| bwayne | darkblue_B: what are you trying to access, a hard drive? | 07:33 |
| darkblue_B | bwayne: yes | 07:33 |
| adante | bwayne: ok when i boot up, it says ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid here> does not exist. Dropping to a shell! | 07:33 |
| adante | ZiRiS: thanks for your help | 07:33 |
| bwayne | adante: yeah. stupid. edit grub.conf and change dev/disk/by-uuid to /dev/sd?? | 07:33 |
| bwayne | darkblue_B: so are you booting from a USB drive? | 07:34 |
| quibbler | arrenlex: at the bottom of the page there is a contact us button ... sent the administrator an email | 07:34 |
| n8tuser | adante-> how many partitions do you have that are mountable? | 07:34 |
| ZiRiS | adante: anytime I have the answers, they're yours! ;-) | 07:34 |
| darkblue_B | bwayne: its booted from an SATA drive, which is treated as 'scsi'.. I just want to mount this firewire drive.. | 07:34 |
| arrenlex | quibbler: I figured it out. I need to read more... "You are browsing a READ only archive of the main support categories pre 4/21/2008. You will not be able to post or reply any threads in this section." | 07:34 |
| darkblue_B | dont see anyhting in /dev that looks likely | 07:35 |
| quibbler | arrenlex: i've done that too ;-) | 07:35 |
| adante | bwayne: you mean the menu.lst right? i tried editing the boot line to root hd(0,0) but when i boot it still tries to find it by uuid for some reason | 07:35 |
| adante | bwayne: hrm unless it has actually mounted my fstab and is looking for the other drive.. heh | 07:35 |
| bwayne | darkblue_B: i see. try unplugging the drive, then plug it back in and check the output of 'dmesg' in the terminal. | 07:36 |
| ZiRiS | Anyone have any knowledge of nVidia cards in 8.10? Or perhaps how to set vid driver to default via command line? | 07:36 |
| adante | n8tuser: uh i have sda1 boot, sda2 swap, sda3 /, sdb1 /mnt/vault | 07:36 |
| adante | n8tuser: course i dunno which are mountable because i cannot mount them because mount says invalid argument when i try to mount with valid arguments as far as i can see | 07:36 |
| MethinX | anyone know how to allocate bandwidth between Files on one computer, this is so my Skype still works while Im downloading | 07:36 |
| bwayne | adante: right. pastebin your menu.lst and /etc/fstab | 07:37 |
| n8tuser | adante-> you have to fix your fstab contents | 07:37 |
| Gate | MethinX: there are a few ways | 07:38 |
| darkblue_B | bwayne: only msgs about eth0 in dmesg output.. ? | 07:38 |
| ZiRiS | Anyone? Beuhler? Beuhler? Beuhler? | 07:38 |
| bwayne | darkblue_B: not very promising. | 07:38 |
| Gate | MethinX: I presume you are downloading using firefox to download | 07:38 |
| psywiped | cool winscp was just what i was looking for | 07:39 |
| adante | n8tuser: righto cheers | 07:39 |
| freazer | MethinX: look into "packet shaping" - I've had a lot of issues with it myself but that's the google term you should hunt for | 07:39 |
| darkblue_B | bwayne: so.. Ubuntu 8.04 is not seeing the port? | 07:39 |
| bwayne | darkblue_B: read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire | 07:39 |
| adante | bwayne: ok i'm booting again to try to do that, in the meantime can i ask: my menu.lst has a uuid = <some uid>; kernel = etc root=<some OTHER uuid> -- is this normal? | 07:39 |
| darkblue_B | thats about vide3o | 07:39 |
| darkblue_B | I ran into that several times this evening | 07:39 |
| darkblue_B | :-/ | 07:39 |
| adante | bwayne: ok i am still downloading hte livecd so i can't get my /etc because at the moment i can only boot into a retarded busybox shell that does not mount things | 07:40 |
| adante | is the ubuntu 8.10 desktop cd the live cd? or where do i get the livecd now? | 07:40 |
| ch0d3 | hi all | 07:41 |
| Flannel | adante: yes, the Desktop CD is the liveCD | 07:41 |
| bwayne | adante: yeah, you're gonna need a livecd. i recommend the gentoo or arch live cds because they go straight to a shell which is all you need. | 07:41 |
| ZiRiS | Currently I'm booting to nothing but command line - right after changing my vid driver to the recommended driver - on a fresh install. Anyone have any suggestions? | 07:41 |
| darkblue_B | geez 80gb over ethernet is gonna be slooowww | 07:41 |
| bwayne | darkblue_B: 80 gb over just about anything is slooowww :-) | 07:41 |
| bwayne | eSATA could probably do it the fastest | 07:42 |
| adante | bwayne: ok thanks | 07:42 |
| adante | Flannel: cheers | 07:42 |
| MethinX | 13 days Windows free!!!! | 07:42 |

| Marupa | Hi everyone...I have two audio cards in my computer and both seem to be registered in X (the sound mixer has both) Is there any way to get ALSA to stream audio to/from both? | 07:42 |
| darkblue_B | *sigh* no chance to kick this system into finding the stock iee1394 port? | 07:42 |
| rashire | return to the dark side. | 07:42 |
| MethinX | part of me wants to try the new Windows 7 but i will resist! | 07:42 |
| * freazer flings 30GB~50GB capacity HiDef and Blueray discs at darblue_B and bwayne! | 07:42 | |
| adante | bwayne: sorry to bohter but is the arch main cd the live cd? | 07:42 |
| bwayne | MethinX: why? it's just software. | 07:42 |
| Sage-X | windows does that still exist | 07:43 |
| psywiped | windows 7 is ok | 07:43 |
| darkblue_B | freazer: aha | 07:43 |
| Sage-X | ?? | 07:43 |
| bwayne | adante: yeah. | 07:43 |
| darkblue_B | burn a dvd | 07:43 |
| cahaya-05 | co_ajjah | 07:43 |
| bwayne | adante: i think they call it "core" or something. | 07:43 |
| quibbler | MethinX: i got it working in virtualbox so just try it | 07:43 |
| adante | bwayne: i'm just downloading archlinux-2008.06-core-i686.iso hope thats ok | 07:43 |
| adante | bwayne: ok cheers | 07:43 |
| ZiRiS | MethinX: Win 7? You mean Vista? It's not so bad. I'm running it now, but only because Ubuntu is fried atm | 07:43 |
| n8tuser | anyone remember how to tell VMware that I have two nics and it should use the 2nd nic eth1 instead of defaulting to eth0 -- so my guest can acquire the ip addr range of the 2nd nic also (bridge) ? | 07:43 |
| darkblue_B | good for 8.7 gb dual layer ? | 07:43 |
| bwayne | adante: yeah, that's the latest, the lazy bums :-) | 07:43 |
| psywiped | adante are you using x64 or 32 bit? | 07:43 |
| adante | psywiped: x64 | 07:43 |
| scunizi | n8tuser: you might try #vmware | 07:44 |
| darkblue_B | I think my VM disk is too big for that though | 07:44 |
| Sage-X | anything runs good on my system | 07:44 |
| psywiped | you need to grab the x64 download thats the one for 32 bit your geting right now | 07:44 |
| bwayne | psywiped: he doesn't ned 64 bit kernel just to mount does he? | 07:44 |
| ZiRiS | bwayne: I would think so. | 07:45 |
| darkblue_B | n8tuser: I am using VirtualBox.. 4 stars | 07:45 |
| psywiped | takes the same time to download eather way might as well get the 64 bit | 07:45 |
| cahaya-05 | hello | 07:45 |
| psywiped | better to not take a chace | 07:45 |
| ZiRiS | Hi. | 07:45 |
| psywiped | hi | 07:45 |
| MethinX | No I mean windows 7 , the beta after vista | 07:45 |
| bwayne | i don't think that's correct. maybe if he wanted to chroot. | 07:45 |
| Sage-X | my i7 computer kicks ass judt isn't realy supported | 07:45 |
| * darkblue_B sulks | 07:45 | |

| tritium | Sage-X: watch the language | 07:47 |
| n8tuser | Sage-X-> thats not allowed here please | 07:47 |
| psywiped | odd | 07:47 |
| bwayne | adante: did you resize your partitions after UUID's were assigned? | 07:47 |
| Sage-X | appologies | 07:47 |
| ZiRiS | darkblue_B: thinking | 07:47 |
| Marupa | Is there any way to 'tee' audio from one ALSA card to another? | 07:47 |
| psywiped | geese sarge such hate | 07:47 |
| psywiped | adante is your bios seeing all your hdds? | 07:48 |
| OriWB | Hi, Can someone help me share between computers on my network? | 07:48 |
| psywiped | yes ori | 07:48 |
| ZiRiS | darkblue_B: have you tried plugging it (anything) in after loading ubuntu fully? It is hot-swappable. | 07:48 |
| OriWB | psywiped: thanx | 07:49 |
| psywiped | so ori what os's are you using? | 07:49 |
| OriWB | psywiped: sorry, whats an os? | 07:49 |
| darkblue_B | ZiRiS: dmesg doesnt show anyhting after the plug-in.. I am not seeing anything in /dev/ that looks likley.. though I certainly dont know much about /dev | 07:49 |
| bwayne | darkblue_B: welcome to Linux. you pay money for fancy hardware that will only work with the embedded OS. my advice is for you to re-install the factory OS. | 07:49 |
| darkblue_B | bwayne: actually its an inexpensive Acer that is the host.. | 07:50 |
| darkblue_B | but yes | 07:50 |
| adante | bwayne: nah didn't do ANYTHING regarding changing partitions, didn't add any new hdds or anything | 07:50 |
| adante | psywiped: yes | 07:50 |
| bwayne | darkblue_B: put Windows 7 on it. you'll thank me. | 07:50 |
| Quicken2k | yep, the drivers are there, just doesn't know my monitor I think | 07:50 |
| adante | bwayne: i have a raid card however on mirror raid so i'm wondering if the card did something fruity | 07:50 |
| joot | Operating System | 07:50 |
| darkblue_B | bwayne is mad as a Redmond hatter (!) | 07:50 |
| bwayne | i'm just open to what works. | 07:51 |
| bwayne | gimme a bash shell anyday. | 07:51 |
| ZiRiS | darkblue_B: I'm starting simple here and working my way towards complicated. Does anything show up in administration>hardware? | 07:51 |
| bwayne | i'm not into jerking around for two weeks to get my video card working. | 07:51 |
| savvas | darkblue_B: what's the matter? | 07:51 |
| Marupa | Anyone have any suggestions for my audio question? | 07:51 |
| darkblue_B | ZiRiS: looking | 07:51 |
| psywiped | yep maru look it up in the forum | 07:52 |
| darkblue_B | savvas: firewire port on an Acer isnt being recognized | 07:52 |
| imaginativeone_ | what's the default mysql database name? | 07:52 |
| ZiRiS | savvas: his firewire isn't showing up - at all. | 07:52 |
| adante | bwayne: brb apparently friend down the street has an arch cd going to grab it :3 | 07:52 |
| Relentless | Marupa What was your question | 07:52 |
| bwayne | adante: right on | 07:52 |
| savvas | ZiRiS, darkblue_B: did you have a look at the output of: lspci -nn | 07:52 |
| psywiped | good deal adante | 07:52 |
| Marupa | Relentless, 'tee'ing audio from one alsa card to another. | 07:52 |
| Relentless | What is teeing? | 07:53 |
| bwayne | lol | 07:53 |
| Marupa | Relentless, As in, playing audio on both cards simultaneously | 07:53 |
| savvas | darkblue_B: what's the laptop's model number? | 07:53 |
| chalcedony | savvas: lovely to see you :) | 07:53 |
| savvas | darkblue_B: also, which Ubuntu release are you trying? | 07:53 |
| savvas | hey chalcedony :)) | 07:53 |
| Relentless | Marupa Use Jack | 07:53 |
| ZiRiS | Relentless: picture the letter T, then picture one card on one end of the cross, the other card on the other end, and your speakers at the bottom. Voila, Tee'ing | 07:53 |
| Marupa | Relentless, I'd rather not screw up all the rest of my audio, thanks. | 07:54 |
| bwayne | linux audio. now there's a fun subject. | 07:54 |
| darkblue_B | savvas: I have an Acer Aspire dual-core AMD running 8.04.. works great, been stable | 07:55 |
| psywiped | playing audio on both cards simultaneously one more thing windows cant do | 07:55 |
| joot | ZiRiS, that seems to make no sense | 07:55 |
| Relentless | afaik teeing was speaker speaker computer | 07:55 |
| Marupa | Relentless, The last four times I tried working with Jack, I pretty much had to reinstall to get internet back. | 07:55 |
| pantung | hey | 07:55 |
| ZiRiS | So we have no Video gurus present this evening? I was hoping for some suggestions to get back into 8.10 | 07:55 |
| darkblue_B | has a built in ieee1394 port.. I am just trying to mount an external drive.. nothing in desg when I plug it in, nothing likely looking in /dev | 07:55 |
| pantung | can some1 tell me channel name to ubuntu in danish? | 07:55 |
| chunty | looking for an AI bot that will learn based off of others conversations | 07:56 |
| ZiRiS | joot: do you not work in theory very often? | 07:56 |
| Relentless | #ubuntu.dk | 07:56 |
| psywiped | danish #ubuntuwindmills | 07:56 |
| pantung | ty :D | 07:56 |
| savvas | darkblue_B: turn the laptop around, look for a model number - there should be one :) | 07:56 |
| darkblue_B | ZiRiS: I just have hardware test and hardware drivers.. netierh seems like what you are aslking about | 07:56 |
| Chuppa | im thinking about getting ubuntu | 07:56 |
| freazer | ZiRiS: what's your vid card? if it's ATI there are FGLRX setups which can regenerate your xorg conf.. if it's something else I can google for you other potential install scripts | 07:56 |
| joot | ZiRiS, Evidently not.. | 07:56 |
| psywiped | dark blue flip the comuter the infos on the bottom | 07:56 |
| darkblue_B | savvas: its a new Mac Pro unibody core-duo | 07:56 |
| ZiRiS | hmmm.... | 07:56 |
| Relentless | #ubuntu.dk pantung | 07:56 |
| Chuppa | can someone tell me why i should get ubuntu? | 07:56 |
| darkblue_B | savvas: firewire 800 | 07:56 |
| Relentless | Chuppa lol troll | 07:57 |
| darkblue_B | the Acer Aspire host is a tower | 07:57 |
| freazer | ZiRiS: the other option is to use a LiveCD, and then copy over the Xorg.conf stuff that it generates in the virtual filesystem over to your real implementation | 07:57 |
| psywiped | chuppa you will never have to deal with vriuses again | 07:57 |
| Relentless | Chuppa What do you need linux for in the first place | 07:57 |
| bwayne | Chuppa: knowledge of linux can come in handy. | 07:57 |
| Relentless | psywiped LOL | 07:57 |
| Relentless | just LOL | 07:57 |
| Chuppa | i dont have linux | 07:57 |
| chalcedony | Chuppa: it's nice :) | 07:57 |
| Relentless | Chuppa What do you already do on the computer | 07:57 |
| psywiped | its faster smarter and easer to use | 07:57 |
| Relentless | psywiped LOL | 07:57 |
| freazer | Chuppa: if you don't have Linux and you don't want Linux, don't use Linux. If you want Linux, download a LiveCD - you don't even have to install it, if you want to get rid of it take the CD disc out and just reboot | 07:58 |
| Relentless | pantung #ubuntu.dk | 07:58 |
| curleyteddy | chris? | 07:58 |
| Gate | Chuppa: you are looking for a torrent of responses, eh? No viruses, stable, free (in every sense of the word). | 07:58 |
| Chuppa | Relentless: i play online poker, chess, go, facebook, irc, and a few other games | 07:58 |
| ZiRiS | freazer: nVidia 8600GT 8.10 boots to a command line, X fails directly after rebooting from installing the recommended drivers on a fresh install, all I did was the updates, rebooted, added the vid driver and rebooted, and got a command line. | 07:58 |
| bwayne | Chuppa: it's all a matter of what type of computing you're looking for. | 07:58 |
| psywiped | and if you build it right and learn how to program it can make you pizza | 07:58 |
| skate2 | how do you reindex files with gnome-do? | 07:58 |
| Relentless | Chuppa then tbh stick to windows | 07:58 |
| joot | !dk | 07:58 |

| freazer | ZiRiS: I'm starting to think I never want to update again >.< getting very sick of updates breaking my great setup | 07:59 |
| savvas | darkblue_B: ok, can you paste the output at http://paste.ubuntu.com of this command: lspci -nn | 07:59 |
| bwayne | goodness handbrake takes forever | 07:59 |
| Gate | Chuppa: my reason for linux: I can do any damned thing I want with and to my computer, I am not bound by a EULA telling me when to blink | 07:59 |
| Chuppa | thanks Relentless | 07:59 |
| darkblue_B | savvas: ok | 07:59 |
| Relentless | Gate You are bound by morals. My version of windows are pirated | 07:59 |
| freazer | Chuppa: Just hang out in this channel and read all the problems people are having ^^ | 07:59 |
| belesprit | I just installed Ubuntu the 64 bit version. My processor is an Intel Core 2 6600. When i tried to install 'Adobe flash player', I get the error message 'error wrong architecture i386' | 07:59 |
| Relentless | I have yet to buy software | 07:59 |
| tritium | Relentless: don't discuss pirated software here | 08:00 |
| Relentless | lol tritium Im not I was just saying... | 08:00 |
| psywiped | then try and find a channel for windows and see all the problems they are having | 08:00 |
| Relentless | lol | 08:00 |
| Relentless | the windows channels here are moslty chat | 08:00 |
| Relentless | or talk about ISS | 08:00 |
| ZiRiS | Freazer: good idea, but I'm not nearly as savvy on linux as I am with Windows. (It's what i learned because there was $ there.) What files would I copy over? | 08:00 |
| darkblue_B | savvas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115558/ | 08:00 |
| Relentless | *IIS | 08:00 |
| ZiRiS | and to where? | 08:00 |
| tritium | Relentless: it's strictly offtopic | 08:00 |
| psywiped | is it flash-nonfree or nonfree-flash? | 08:01 |
| Gate | Relentless: Bound by morals and laziness. Linux is faster than hacking windows | 08:01 |
| Relentless | Gates Tru | 08:01 |
| freazer | belesprit: From what I've read there is no 64 bit flash - and that's adobe's fault | 08:01 |
| lstarnes | psywiped: probably flashplugin-nonfree | 08:01 |
| belesprit | well any other alternatives? | 08:01 |

| savvas | darkblue_B: which ubuntu release did you try? ubuntu 8.04 ? | 08:02 |
| psywiped | i went back to the 32 bit one | 08:02 |
| darkblue_B | savvas: yes | 08:03 |
| psywiped | 8.10 | 08:03 |
| belesprit | it says it could not find the package | 08:03 |
| ZiRiS | Freazer: good idea, but I'm not nearly as savvy on linux as I am with Windows. (It's what i learned because there was $ there.) What files would I copy over? | 08:03 |
| ZiRiS | and to where? | 08:03 |
| darkblue_B | 64bit amd linux 2.6.24-23-generic | 08:03 |
| freazer | ZiRiS: looking into it | 08:03 |
| ZiRiS | freazer: tyvm! | 08:03 |
| HEleo | hi guys how can i dual boot ubuntu and fedora | 08:04 |
| savvas | darkblue_B: have you tried newer ubuntu? 8.10 or the testing 9.04 ? | 08:04 |
| === stephen is now known as Guest68190 | ||
| darkblue_B | oh.. no.. I had planned to stay at something stable on the tower.. | 08:04 |
| ZiRiS | HEleo: grub? | 08:04 |
| n8tuser | HEleo-> put fedora on another partition and you can still share /home | 08:04 |
| psywiped | heleo make 2 partitions on your hdd and install | 08:04 |
| cahaya-05 | oiweyfoisdng | 08:04 |
| darkblue_B | savvas: but if thats the case... hmm dont know | 08:04 |
| psywiped | bele you have to enable all the reporsitories | 08:05 |
| goodeeny | Нш | 08:05 |
| HEleo | did each os should have atleast one primary partion ?? | 08:05 |
| goodeeny | Hi | 08:05 |
| savvas | darkblue_B: I would like to see if it's working at all with ubuntu | 08:05 |
| freazer | ZiRiS: first off, try Recovery Mode from GRUB boot loader if you have that option - you can uninstall your restricted drivers and reboot hopefully into normal Ubuntu with X working | 08:05 |
| n8tuser | HEleo-> yes | 08:05 |
| psywiped | each os needs to be on its own partition | 08:05 |
| darkblue_B | I suppose I could boot an iso and test that way , y? | 08:05 |
| joot | Hi x 1288 | 08:05 |
| belesprit | psywiped your talking language i have not learned yep | 08:06 |
| belesprit | yet* | 08:06 |
| savvas | darkblue_B: download this: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-4/jaunty-desktop-i386.iso - burn it, boot from it, do NOT install it - test if the firewire works | 08:06 |
| psywiped | dammit im not on ubunto right now i have to go from memory | 08:06 |
| freazer | ZiRiS: with a LiveCD, are you using LVM or mdadm for raid? if so you will need extra instructions to mount your existing partitions | 08:06 |
| psywiped | and ive been drinking | 08:06 |
| ZiRiS | freazer: I did. That was one of the first things I tried. It didn't do any good, actually matters got worse and I reinstalled. Same thing happened again. I'm not looking forward to another reinstall. | 08:06 |
| belesprit | nah i can look it up | 08:06 |
| darkblue_B | savvas: ok, might take a while for me | 08:06 |
| psywiped | it like system admin and smantic sources | 08:07 |
| psywiped | then check everything | 08:07 |
| belesprit | self determinism and all that | 08:07 |

| ubottu | psywiped: 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 :) | 08:07 |
| HEleo | whenever i create /boot , /usr / its created as primary partition .. is it possible to overrider that and llowing only 2 to be primary partion others should be in extended?? | 08:07 |
| puneeth1 | !kubuntu | 08:08 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 08:08 |
| * psywiped psywiped is a random figment of your imagamation that is based off you being drunk | 08:08 | |
| ZiRiS | freazer: I have ubuntu installed on an IDE drive, but have 2 other SATA drives that are NOT in a raid configuration. One is windows, the other is misc storage. movies and such. | 08:08 |

| savvas | darkblue_B: I'll give you my email in private | 08:08 |
| psywiped | was that just a bot? | 08:08 |
| freazer | ZiRiS: I would expect the LiveCD to autodetect and mount those partitions then - I'm still looking for a good guide that details exactly what files to copy over to repair your X configuration | 08:09 |
| HEleo | ubottu: u r not a bot?? right?? :P | 08:09 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:09 |
| psywiped | ubottu your not helping | 08:09 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:09 |
| joot | psywyiped, you are conversing with a bot | 08:10 |
| ZiRiS | Here's a random question since I'm maybe looking at another reinstall. Is it possible to run Kubuntu with Ubuntu simultaneously? IE have the option for KDE or Gnome? | 08:10 |
| psywiped | joot: looks that way | 08:10 |
| joot | psywyiped, stay on topic | 08:11 |
| psywiped | yea jiris it is doing it on my hp tablet | 08:11 |
| Flannel | ZiRiS: yeah. Install either kubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop (whichever you don't have) and you can choose at the login screen | 08:11 |
| ZiRiS | And I do mean that last comment for everyone, hence no nick: | 08:11 |

| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 08:13 |
| harley | How come my open office is just all symbols, I can't understand anything? | 08:13 |
| psywiped | heleo just use gpart and make a partition for the 2nd os if you aready have ubuntu installed | 08:13 |
| freazer | ZiRiS: have you read http://www.robdian.co.uk/content/view/56/27/ ? it mentions your cart specifically - it's all command line which might be a useful last ditch effort | 08:13 |
| HEleo | psywiped: grub configuration | 08:14 |
| joot | jim_p, What is apt-pinning? | 08:14 |
| Bossmanbeta | jim_p, try this link on apt-pinning: http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html | 08:14 |
| HEleo | psywiped: grub configuration please | 08:14 |
| skate2 | gnome-do finds my files properly but it doesnt launch any of them, even tho when i click on the files properties it says the open with application fine and i can launch them into their associated programs fine in the normal file browser, just not gnome-do. any ideas? | 08:14 |

| HEleo | psywiped: ok then can i share the same swap | 08:14 |
| freazer | ZiRiS: I think the only file you need to copy is the xorg.conf file, it should be located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- copy this from your liveCD path (which is as written) to wherever your ubuntu partition is mounted | 08:14 |
| psywiped | when you install fedora it should take care of the grub part heleo | 08:14 |
| jim_p | thanks tritium Bossmanbeta | 08:15 |
| joot | tritium, Many thanks.. | 08:15 |
| psywiped | should be able to share the swap | 08:15 |
| freazer | ZiRiS: I would assume any driver built into the LiveCD would be included in your installation | 08:15 |

| tauheed | anybody living.................... | 08:16 |
| tauheed | ??????????????????????// | 08:16 |
| joot | jim_p, Would you not be better going to #ubuntu1? | 08:16 |
| freazer | ZiRiS: I hope it helps :-( dealing with broken X is _the #1 most frustrating thing_ for new Linux users IMO | 08:17 |
| tauheed | nop????????????????????????????/ | 08:17 |
| pantung | yy i know quibbler i just forgot to type ;) | 08:17 |
| belesprit | Got another problem as well, nvidia drivers... try to install them using the system>>administration>>hardware drivers route. It detects them (versions 173 and 177) but when I try to activate them the load screen flashes up for a brief second and then closes. Running Ubuntu 8.10 64bit | 08:17 |
| quibbler | pantung: ;-) | 08:17 |
| freazer | tauheed, just ask your question rather than spamming the channel with ?'s | 08:17 |
| freazer | bah | 08:17 |
| jim_p | joot, no. i just need apt-pinning :P | 08:17 |
| joot | jim_p, OK :-) | 08:17 |
| ZiRiS | freazer: Indeed, I'm sure it is. If this doesn't work, I might just DL, burn and install Kubuntu. | 08:18 |
| psywiped | heleo im not sure i would think the grub would be the same and it would just auto configure like it does when you have windows installed. "this is me doing drunk tech support so dont expect to much" | 08:18 |
| HEleo | psywiped: ok thanks for a try ;) | 08:19 |
| freazer | ZiRiS: from command line (if broken X won't let you access terminal, try Ctrl-Alt-F1 or F2 to get to another terminal command line - and simply login and type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop as another user said above - it will change your default login stuff to KDE (which may be worth trying) | 08:20 |
| pantung | can someone tell me how to install GTK tememotot aurura ? | 08:20 |
| freazer | ZiRiS: but, from what I've seen Kubuntu is a very different experience, and you're right in that it could be worth trying | 08:20 |
| psywiped | pantu have you searched in the forums? | 08:21 |
| psywiped | freaz not a big fan of k feels clunky | 08:21 |

| Gate | ls | 08:25 |
| psywiped | yep close enough for 6 beers down 6 to go | 08:25 |
| Gate | owner: basic command line navigation: ls lists files and directories from your current, cd moves | 08:25 |
| owner | I typed ls -a and it showed a bunch (files?) like .profile .gnome etc | 08:25 |
| owner | but there wasn't any home etc listed | 08:26 |
| psywiped | cool dir does to in ubuntu | 08:26 |

| bryant | psywiped, did you install text only for server? | 08:27 |

| bryant | What are you using for IRC, psywiped? irssi? | 08:28 |
| \Kira | owner: in the shell, it shows your location. ~ is short for your home | 08:28 |

| psywiped | prony i thin wget is a kde command | 08:32 |

| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| psywiped | prony not sure | 08:33 |
| psywiped | prony did you install the kde for windows? | 08:33 |
| savvas | pronoy: you can get the ubuntu .deb package at http://packages.ubuntu.com/sun-jave6-jre - you have to click on the distribution you want and on the next page on your architecture (amd64 or i386) | 08:33 |
| pronoy | savvas: the dependencies aren't satisfied...that's the problem | 08:34 |
| \Kira | im trying to use make to compile something. First it complains about having no C compiler, so I install gcc. Now it alerts me that my C compiler cant create executionables. | 08:34 |
| psywiped | pronoy what os are you using | 08:34 |
| pronoy | psywiped : no why would i want to ????! | 08:34 |
| savvas | pronoy: I'm a bit puzzled, are you using a windows or a linux operating system? | 08:34 |
| pronoy | i am using intrepid | 08:34 |
| psywiped | prony thats not windows | 08:35 |
| savvas | pronoy: or are you trying to get all the packages for a pc without internet? | 08:35 |
| pronoy | but i have an internet connection with my windows machine | 08:35 |
| psywiped | prony use the apt-get install command | 08:35 |

| \Kira | bryant: thanks | 08:35 |
| bryant | np | 08:35 |
| savvas | pronoy: is the ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit? | 08:35 |
| pronoy | download all packages on windows and transport to linux....savas: its a 32 bit | 08:36 |
| pronoy | i386 | 08:36 |
| bryant | Kira, that should take care of most of you problems, but it depends on what you're compiling. The build-essientials package takes cares of a LOT. | 08:36 |
| psywiped | prony its a lot easer if you connect the system to the interweb | 08:37 |
| pronoy | psywiped, savvas ? | 08:37 |
| pronoy | psywiped: but i can't thats the problem | 08:37 |

| pronoy | psywiped: i need to install a socks proxy client to run the internet at my place..to do that ubuntu i need JRE6 package....so i can do that using windows right now because there is no issue of dependecies and stuff | 08:38 |
| savvas | pronoy: download these: http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/unixodbc/unixodbc_2.2.11-16build2_i386.deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/sun-java6-jre_6-10-0ubuntu2_all.deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/sun-java6-bin_6-10-0ubuntu2_i386.deb | 08:39 |
| pronoy | savvas: before i do...how did you get these urls ? | 08:39 |
| savvas | pronoy: transfer them to your ubuntu on your desktop, open a terminal and execute these commands: 1) cd Desktop 2) sudo dpkg -i *.deb | 08:40 |
| savvas | pronoy: I followed some dependencies on http://packages.ubuntu.com | 08:40 |
| pronoy | savvas: so i can download them using wget on windows :) thats great | 08:40 |
| psywiped | 7of12 beers im so confused now | 08:41 |
| savvas | pronoy: well, you can try, if it needs anything else, you can get that too, one by one, but I think these three is what it needs. when you're done with the above, execute: sudo apt-get -f install | 08:41 |
| psywiped | pronoy your trying to confgure a proxy but its not configured to connect ot the net? | 08:42 |
| savvas | psywiped: simple, he's downloading on say MACHINE 1 that has windows, and installs the deb packages on MACHINE 2 that has ubuntu | 08:42 |
| psywiped | but where does the socks proxy come in? | 08:42 |
| savvas | maybe he wants a local network | 08:43 |
| savvas | I don't know :P | 08:43 |
| psywiped | you know for all the people on here thres not that many trying to help | 08:44 |
| pronoy | psywiped: ok i think i wasn't clear before, my mistake. Your-freedom a socks proxy software allows me to connect to the internet because of restrictions by the server admin...now i have this one on windows and to update ubuntu i need the same on ubuntu. Now to install it on ubuntu i need various packages...which is why i got wget for windows...(sourceforge.net gnu32) | 08:44 |
| pronoy | get it ? | 08:45 |
| psywiped | id just bring the box home | 08:45 |
| pronoy | psywiped: my home is like 500 miles from my college :) so not a possibility | 08:46 |

| e-frame | hello all, can we put an external antenna for internal mini pcie wifi card ? | 08:52 |
| pronoy | savvas correct and using network proxy fscks the bandwidth | 08:52 |
| tritium | arvind_khadri: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177, in that case. | 08:52 |
| ch0d3 | trying to get it to work with rxvt on ubuntu 8.10 | 08:52 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, the restricted ones right? | 08:52 |
| pronoy | psywiped: it restricts your download limit and time | 08:52 |
| tritium | arvind_khadri: there is -180 available, if you prefer the newest | 08:52 |
| pronoy | psywiped: i have access to like only 20 mb of download !! can you believe that ??!?!? | 08:53 |
| psywiped | dam i would use that up in one page | 08:53 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, cant see them here :) and jockey-gtk recommends me for 177 | 08:53 |
| tritium | !info nvidia-glx-180 | 08:53 |
| ubottu | nvidia-glx-180 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver. In component restricted, is optional. Version 180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 (intrepid), package size 9046 kB, installed size 26444 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) | 08:53 |
| pronoy | savvas: the good thing about your-freedom like softwares is that they keep on changing the network proxies | 08:53 |
| tritium | arvind_khadri: ^^ | 08:54 |
| pronoy | so that you can keep on using various servers ....if one fails | 08:54 |
| savvas | ah I see, you're getting sort of a key that the java client program acquires :P | 08:54 |
| psywiped | pronoy why not just use tor? | 08:54 |
| poet | is there any way to map meta to one of the windows keys? | 08:54 |
| savvas | well good luck pronoy - hope it works :) | 08:55 |
| poet | System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts > Other Options doesn't appear to do what i want | 08:55 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, yup found it now... so which should i go with :) | 08:55 |
| pronoy | psywiped: i tried but i get amazingly low bandwidth | 08:55 |
| psywiped | yea tor is a little slow | 08:55 |
| pronoy | psywiped and your-freedom is exactly like tor but amazingly faster !!!! | 08:55 |
| psywiped | does an ssh tunnel to a home computer work? | 08:56 |
| poet | is there any way to remap meta to a specific key? | 08:56 |
| psywiped | poet you have to wait a few | 08:56 |
| psywiped | but right now it doesnt sound like anyone in here know how poet | 08:57 |
| poet | psywiped: I do, I just thought I phrased my origial question badly, because I don't actually care which key it gets remapped to | 08:57 |
| tritium | arvind_khadri: it's up to you. The -180 doesn't work for everyone, so if it doesn't work, switch to the -177. | 08:57 |
| pronoy | psywiped: take a look at this its amazing !!! http://wubdepends.sourceforge.net/ | 08:58 |
| psywiped | cool thats nice could have used it a year ago before 8.04 came out | 08:59 |

| suupaabaka | Hey there, I have a question regarding cron. | 09:05 |
| ^cheeky | hi, what programs/ would you need to play urban terror the game in ubunut 8.10 ? | 09:05 |
| psywiped | suup its an old woman | 09:05 |
| suupaabaka | I'm new to Linux, and would like to know how to schedule a program to start and stop at a certain time | 09:05 |
| suupaabaka | And then automatically shutdown the PC | 09:05 |
| fantomas | Hi. When I run lilo on 8.04 I get message: Added Linux * \n: Warning: The initial RAM disk is too big to fit between the kernel and the 15M-16M memory hole. It will be loaded in the highest memory asthough the configuration file specified "large-memory" and it will be assumed that the BIOS supports memory moves above 16M. | 09:06 |
| jim_p | suupaabaka, have a look at some cron frontend then | 09:06 |
| suupaabaka | jim_p, can you suggest one? | 09:06 |
| fantomas | Does this mean something goes wrong? | 09:06 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, is this 2.6.27-3.4 out? | 09:06 |
| tritium | arvind_khadri: current on 8.10 is 2.6.27-11 | 09:07 |
| jim_p | suupaabaka, gcrontab or kcron | 09:07 |
| suupaabaka | jimp, thanks | 09:07 |

| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 09:07 |
| ch0d3 | anyone here know how to install pcf fonts? | 09:07 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, which means that the h/w supported earlier should be supported now... my cam doesn't work... | 09:08 |
| psywiped | not i said the drunk man | 09:08 |
| jim_p | suupaabaka, if you want to do all this jobs you mentioned at once, you will need a script | 09:08 |
| tritium | psywiped: stay on topic | 09:08 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, it was added in the kernel version i told you | 09:08 |
| tritium | arvind_khadri: which kernel module does it use? | 09:08 |
| jim_p | fantomas, may i ask why lilo and not grub? | 09:08 |
| suupaabaka | jim_p, Ah, I see. I have no idea how to make one :( | 09:08 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, gspca | 09:08 |
| jim_p | suupaabaka, what exactly do you want to do? | 09:09 |
| Naisel | Did the game take place at night | 09:09 |
| fantomas | jim_p: well, I was living with lilo for 6 years on Debian.. thats the reason :) | 09:09 |
| tritium | arvind_khadri: there are several gspca modules in /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca/. Which one does yours use? Is it loaded? | 09:10 |
| jim_p | fantomas, oh lol | 09:10 |
| Naisel | can i say something | 09:10 |
| Naisel | about lilo en grub | 09:10 |
| suupaabaka | jim_p, I'd like to start Deluge bittorrent client at 3:05AM and close it at 8:55AM, then shutdown the PC every day | 09:10 |
| fantomas | jim_p: boot loading is kind of magic for me. I know how lilo works, roughly speaking. Afraid of new modern thingies :) | 09:10 |
| jim_p | sure Naisel | 09:10 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, the device is recognized as Microdia | 09:10 |
| jim_p | fantomas, all i know is that lilo stores its settings in /etc/lilo and grub in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:11 |
| genii | arvind_khadri: Mostly curious... is this a MS vx6000 webcam? | 09:11 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, the sonixj.ko | 09:11 |
| fantomas | jim_p: usually I ignore most of lilo warnings. Just sligtly surprised I see some on stable Ubuntu on stock kernel | 09:11 |
| arvind_khadri | genii, its a intex night vision cam... | 09:11 |
| Naisel | jim_p Okay usu grub for 2 years and my experience has been great | 09:12 |
| jim_p | suupaabaka, i am not that good at scripting but let me make a try | 09:12 |
| arvind_khadri | genii, any idea how to make it work | 09:12 |
| eMaX | hi all | 09:12 |
| Naisel | what is you problem with grub jim_p | 09:12 |
| suupaabaka | jim_p, much appreciated | 09:12 |
| Naisel | hi | 09:12 |
| jim_p | Naisel, none | 09:12 |
| Naisel | ok | 09:12 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, ?? | 09:12 |
| tritium | arvind_khadri: have you tried loading the module it needs if it's not loaded already? | 09:12 |
| genii | arvind_khadri: Ah. I had a helluva time with the microdia drivers and the vx6000. The intex I don't know much about | 09:12 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, not yet... | 09:13 |
| fantomas | Naisel: it was me having a problem with lilo ) | 09:13 |
| jim_p | suupaabaka, does deluge need X to run? or can ir run like a daemon? | 09:13 |
| Naisel | currently use version 2 of grub, but I better get used to the version 1 jim_p | 09:13 |
| suupaabaka | jim_p, I think it needs X | 09:13 |
| arvind_khadri | tritium, lsmod shows its loaded | 09:13 |
| Naisel | fantomas what is you problem with lilo | 09:13 |
| tritium | arvind_khadri: then what have you done to test if it works? | 09:14 |
| Naisel | fantomas I do not like lilo to use once and never understood it | 09:14 |

| c0p3rn1c | jim_p, just use apt-get or aptitude, it's the same for kde packages, kde packages usually start with a k | 09:35 |
| L0neWo1f | sikun, differences aren't that noticeable I've found. you might run into programs that don't like 64-bit too. maybe try a liveCD to see how it runs first | 09:35 |

I've found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome <-- and it says i should edit the xorg.conf. Can i edit the xorg.conf somehow before the livecd loads gdm? Thanks | 09:39 |

| ubottu | Paraselene_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 09:39 |
| SliMM | grub throws error 23, hard disk not found, and when i go into rescue mode, and try to reinstall grub, it gives a fatal error, no matter what hard disk/device i choose | 09:39 |
| O__o | more than 1 user logon to the same machine | 09:39 |

| Avelino | Hello, how do I install YUM on ubuntu, now I have a mirror of CentOS and I do a version of Ubuntu for personal use only as packages. YUM rpm with the manager? | 09:39 |
| Relentless | O__o echo wall send to all users | 09:39 |
| kronix | Anybody else tried 9.04 Alpha 5 and had trouble installing it to disk? Trying to install it disk within the live session launches the console for about a second, then does nothing thereafter. Trying to install it from the CD menu launches the live session. I'm running it in a Virtual Machine, and the disc check reports an error with one file - but I want to be sure before I download the image again. | 09:39 |
| Ryiel | Relentless: I know but no chance to edit it on the fly? | 09:39 |
| Relentless | Avelino sudo apt-get install yum | 09:40 |
| Bram | My xp isn't really working anymore, so I'm trying to install ubuntu. I did say boot from cd and then install ubuntu, but is it normal that it does take some time? | 09:40 |
| O__o | Relentless, what about email or some kinda offline msg? | 09:40 |
| Relentless | I think there is a package "alien" | 09:40 |
| Relentless | O__o Leave a not in there mail | 09:40 |
| O__o | so that when the user is logon later he will get the message? | 09:40 |
| O__o | how to do that? | 09:40 |
| Avelino | Relenless The Ubuntu loses some stability using YUM? | 09:40 |
| Relentless | Avelino not that I am aware of, I knwo not all programs can be installed that way | 09:41 |
| Relentless | It is best to find the source or the deb | 09:41 |
| Naisel | sorry someone can tell me if it would be desirable to configure a firewall with a specific distribution or is it better to do with shorewall | 09:41 |

| Naisel | Bram but did not even use it, and you questions to get windows | 09:47 |
| jami | captain_: I tried to because it supports guitar pro files. But I've a midi problem on my machine | 09:48 |
| captain_ | no a.m. | 09:48 |
| Bram | Naisel, No I want to install ubuntu on a laptop with windows xp (which is also full of unwanted things, so I want everything away) | 09:48 |
| Naisel | jami what is your problem | 09:48 |
| * e-frame is under a glass moon ^^ | 09:48 | |
| captain_ | so u didn't fix it? | 09:48 |
| kikokos | quibbler, yea, another works, what's wrong with this movies? on win there are ok... | 09:49 |
| captain_ | a few times i got sound | 09:49 |
| captain_ | but it didn't sound really good | 09:49 |
| Relentless | O__o Also try the write command.. | 09:49 |
| O__o | Relentless, is there both way messaging in linux? | 09:49 |
| kikokos | quibbler, they are made with bad application on win, or what? | 09:49 |
| jami | Naisel: i don't know my midi device does not speak to me anymore. Before upgrading to ibex i got a midi throughput error | 09:49 |
| Bram | Naisel, it did say error reading boot cd, shall I try again or is it something else? | 09:49 |
| Relentless | O__o yes they are write would be the best to use in your situation | 09:50 |
| O__o | i got the write command. but what if the user is offline and i want to give him a msg | 09:50 |
| captain_ | i just installed windows to use guitar pro | 09:50 |
| O__o | but write isnt both way | 09:50 |
| Naisel | which one ubuntu boot cd | 09:51 |
| Naisel | Bram | 09:51 |
| kikokos | quibbler, do you know what is wrong? | 09:51 |
| quibbler | kikokos: i have no idea but if other avi's work there is something different...it is strange that they work in windows and not with vlc, i've never had that | 09:51 |
| Droopsta915 | Im running xp in vbox. My host is Linux. when I attatch to host interface, what should the setup application be? | 09:51 |
| Bram | Naisel, just one that I had here (ubuntu 8.04 it is, I will update) | 09:51 |
| O__o | i got it write is kinda cool | 09:51 |
| gotamatw | Hi! Is there any howto on how to install a scanner on a thin client? | 09:51 |
| kkb110 | anybody know how to install 32bit libraries on 64bit linux???? | 09:52 |
| O__o | but if the user is offline i guess i need some other thing | 09:52 |
| jami | How do I list my accessible midi device ports | 09:52 |
| captain_ | in tux? | 09:52 |
| jami | no | 09:52 |
| jami | in ubuntu | 09:52 |
| gordonjcp | jami: amidi -l | 09:52 |
| gordonjcp | jami: if you do MIDI stuff, you will come to know and love amidi ;-) | 09:53 |
| jami | hm nothing | 09:53 |
| gordonjcp | jami: What exactly are you trying to do? | 09:53 |
| Naisel | Bram if you want to install both operating systems together, you first need to install linux because windows does not share the boot. So you have a backup of all your data in windows and then install windows again. | 09:53 |
| jami | gordonjcp: bring midi to work | 09:53 |
| jami | did i need timidity | 09:53 |
| gordonjcp | jami: depends what you're trying to do ;-) | 09:54 |
| jami | gordonjcp: bring midi to work :-P overall to run tuxguitar | 09:54 |
| Bram | Naisel, No I want everything that I had before and in the windows to be gone | 09:54 |
| gordonjcp | jami: timidity is a kind of software soundcard that plays back MIDI | 09:54 |
| gordonjcp | jami: or rather, software sample player | 09:54 |
| arvind_khadri | hi,cheese sees my cam, but kopete doesnt...what can i do??? | 09:55 |
| gordonjcp | jami: are you trying to use timidity to play back MIDI sequences? | 09:55 |
| Naisel | Bram you can have it all, just install linux and then mount the Windows partition is easy | 09:55 |
| jami | gordonjcp: at least I thought every soundcard has its crappy build-in midi sampling | 09:55 |
| gordonjcp | jami: some do, some don't | 09:55 |
| gordonjcp | jami: a lot of modern cards don't seem to | 09:56 |
| jami | gordonjcp: i think tuxguitar uses streaming features of midi | 09:56 |
| Bram | Naisel, I did choose the language and then I said install ubuntu, but then it does nothing anymore | 09:56 |
| === toga30 is now known as ToGa | ||
| gordonjcp | jami: anyway, you're not trying to hook up external MIDI devices/ | 09:56 |
| gordonjcp | ? | 09:56 |
| jami | no only internal use. I'm too poor for hardware :-D | 09:57 |
| gordonjcp | okay, I'm just installing a few things | 09:57 |
| jami | only tuxguitar | 09:57 |
| gotamatw | Any information on how to install a scanner on a thin client? | 09:57 |
| Relentless | gotamatw Elaborate on thin client | 09:58 |
| gordonjcp | gotamatw: same as any other system | 09:58 |
| Naisel | Bram okay but what I tell you, you have a backup of all data in your windows and put them in a separate hard drive, then install Linux and mount the Windows partition | 09:58 |
| gotamatw | LTSP, a server and a thin client (workstation). | 09:58 |
| Relentless | A ubunut thin client? | 09:58 |
| captain_ | what is a thin client? | 09:59 |
| Bram | Naisel, no I don't want windows anymore, or anything else that's on the computer right now. I just want to install ubuntu and that everything else is gone | 09:59 |
| O__o | hi i am living in canada, why connecting to US ubuntu server is faster than canadian server when doing update? | 09:59 |
| captain_ | can't find translation | 09:59 |
| gotamatw | UBUNTU 7.10 workink as a LTSP server. | 09:59 |
| captain_ | i think u need timidity jami | 09:59 |
| captain_ | and the java soundbank | 10:00 |
| Relentless | gotamatw dist-update is in order... and Why not just PnP | 10:00 |
| Naisel | Bram therefore you have the backup then install linux and passes all data to your linux. | 10:00 |
| Yossarian | ohoy | 10:00 |
| tapas | is there a way to intwerrupt fsck when using no splash screen? | 10:01 |
| Bram | Naisel, yes I know but the problem is when I boot from cd and then choose install ubuntu it doesn't do anything anymore and after a long time it does give an error. | 10:01 |
| Yossarian | i have a question regarding the preload daemon. if an application were to require more ram than is free, and the rest is occupied by preload, will unload itself for the other application? | 10:01 |
| Naisel | Bram do not worry about the application before using it on windows and linux is the best | 10:02 |
| Relentless | tapas Why would you want to do that? | 10:02 |
| gotamatw | I can't update the system, and I must install the scanner for tomorrow morning. | 10:02 |
| lorenzosu | All of a sudden I can't mount my Windows partition which worked perfectly till yesterday. I get a "You are not privileged to mount the volume" error. Any clue? | 10:02 |

| tapas | Relentless: do yo9u have an answer or not? | 10:02 |
| Relentless | tapas You do know that linuc doesnt boot untill it has finished and has a clean bill of health | 10:02 |
| Bram | Naisel, I know linux is the best, that's why I install it | 10:02 |
| jami | captain_: after starting the timidity over init.d i get Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation [fail]. How did I get additional informations? | 10:03 |
| Relentless | Bram, Ubuntu is not linux, it is a fork of one. | 10:03 |
| Naisel | Bram let me see if I understand the problem you are trying to install linux | 10:03 |
| tapas | Relentless: you do know that you can press ESC to skip the fsck when splash screen is enabled? | 10:03 |
| tapas | Relentless: so i see you do not know how to do it.. please, why are you wasting my time? | 10:03 |
| Relentless | Well arent we a fesity one | 10:03 |
| gordonjcp | jami: did you install "freepats" when you installed timidity? | 10:03 |
| arvind_khadri | hi,cheese sees my cam, but kopete doesnt...what can i do??? | 10:04 |
| Relentless | I hope your HDD fail on next boot | 10:04 |
| gordonjcp | Relentless: manners, please... | 10:04 |
| lorenzosu | All of a sudden I can't mount my Windows partition which worked perfectly till yesterday. I get a "You are not privileged to mount the volume" error. Any clue? | 10:04 |
| askar | help me please mount my Vista - it is not present at the Places.. =( | 10:04 |
| jami | gordonjcp: yes | 10:04 |
| darkweasel | Relentless, not true - ubuntu is a distribution, not a fork of linux | 10:04 |
| darkweasel | linux is just the kernel that ubuntu uses | 10:05 |
| Droopsta915 | How can I find out the physical network interface of my system? | 10:05 |
| Relentless | darkweasel that was the wor dI was looking for | 10:05 |
| gordonjcp | jami: okay, still waiting for stuff to install ;-) | 10:05 |
| Relentless | *word | 10:05 |
| Yossarian | bump | 10:05 |

| matt0 | What the hell still no firefox update in the repos >:( | 10:13 |
| Naisel | Bram what is the error | 10:13 |
| tapas | Relentless: for your info: it seems to be an upstart bug that prevents signals and console commands to reach fsck | 10:13 |
| tapas | [which can be stopped with ctrl-c or esc on more sane distros ;) | 10:13 |
| lorenzosu | chazco: My wifi is fine, never drops and is WPA | 10:13 |

| tapas | Relentless: bugs.ubuntu.com tells you more.. | 10:13 |
| Relentless | tapas You make me lol inside.. | 10:13 |
| chazco | lorenzosu - Is it with the above settings? Connections to my own WPA2 network are fine, but Ubuntu since 8.10 (or maybe 8.04) wont join the above config reliably | 10:14 |
| tapas | Relentless: that's fine with me.. great to bring some happiness into the world.. | 10:14 |

| Droopsta915 | what is the path for my physical network interface? | 10:15 |
| Relentless | Read that | 10:15 |
| tapas | Relentless: but since you seem to have no desire to learn more i will stop now.. you can find out the rest yourself.. | 10:15 |
| Naisel | Bram only that | 10:15 |
| Relentless | tapas: It is recommended that you run a fsck on reboot if required. Usually, system automatically determines if fsck required or not. Generally, fsck is run automatically at boot time when the system detects that a file system is in an inconsistent state, indicating a non-graceful shutdown, such as a crash or power loss. | 10:16 |
| Bram | Naisel yes, but it does take a long time before it does say that | 10:17 |

| arvind_khadri | hi,cheese sees my cam, but kopete doesnt...what can i do??? | 10:41 |
| MeVsTheVoices | matteo: To overcome a full bootlog you need to specify the force option `-o force` | 10:41 |
| MeVsTheVoices | matteo: `-t ntfs-3g` specifies the filesystem | 10:42 |
| MeVsTheVoices | matteo: `/dev/whatever` is what you want to mount | 10:42 |
| MeVsTheVoices | matteo: `/media/ or /mount/ or /mnt/` where to mount it to, must already exist | 10:43 |
| Aperture_Science | Okay that was retarded of me. | 10:44 |

| |HSO|SadiQ | lstarnes, it doesn't work | 10:48 |
| MeVsTheVoices | matteo: I already wrote the exact command, you need a space between /dev/whatever and /media/whatever, also, wherever you are mounting it to needs to exist `mkdir /media/ScreenPlayPro_HD` | 10:48 |
| jascott | ah sweet | 10:48 |
| lstarnes | |HSO|SadiQ: what error message do you get? | 10:48 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | lstarnes, sry...it works...I replaced (pidof pidgin) with the actiual pid...stupid me :P | 10:49 |
| lstarnes | |HSO|SadiQ: just use $(pidof pidgin). Do not replace it with anything else. That will automatically fill itself in with pidgin's PID | 10:50 |

| guy654654 | ActionParsnip1: ok thanks | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | guy654654: you could mount a folder to a usb stick and they would be installed on there | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | guy654654: you could also mount /home to usb and documents would be persistant, you'd have to remount each reboot | 11:03 |
| matteo | i try now one sec :) But the problems seems to be with /dev/sdb4 that is not a irectory... Is it normal? | 11:03 |
| lstarnes | matteo: it should not be a directory, it should be a device node | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | guy654654: you could mount a few folders to usb so that a lot of the install is persistant | 11:03 |
| guy654654 | ActionParsnip1: i thought the settings however would be stored? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | guy654654: or just install TO the usb stick | 11:03 |

| Bram | stefg: well one is done by myself and the other one by someone else. | 11:19 |
| arvind_khadri | Freckle1, you need to uncheck the cdrom from the software sources | 11:20 |
| Freckle1 | alright | 11:20 |
| Bram | ActionParsnip1: sorry, I don't know what that is? | 11:20 |
| gsp2009 | Bram. Ok. Did you try everything we spoke about earlier? (checksum, boot floopy, etc) | 11:20 |
| stefg | Bram: and you did not burn the *file* to CD, but made an image copy of the .iso, right? | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Bram: you NEED to check the image is ok otherwise you will most likely get issues | 11:20 |

| === mike is now known as Guest10261 | ||
| stefg | Bram: so you have to tell your BIOS to boot from CD... if it's too old try the smart boot manager or a boot floppy | 11:22 |

| jrib | amro: define "fetch" | 12:52 |

| Stroganoff | ganesh are you on intrepid (ubuntu 8.10)? | 12:52 |
| robf | are they ever going to fix the upgrade from 8.04->8.10 =\ it breaks when I try to do it | 12:53 |
| ganesh | Stroganoff: yes | 12:53 |
| ronny | hmm | 12:53 |
| rakudave | jfcgauss_: here is a tutorial on how to unmount busy drives: http://ocaoimh.ie/2008/02/13/how-to-umount-when-the-device-is-busy/ | 12:53 |
| ronny | rakudave: sound modules are loaded, aplay wont find devices | 12:54 |

| Stroganoff | ganesh i'm looking at the veejay package and it says it depends on "libavcodec1d" (note the D instead of B) | 12:54 |
| jrib | oma-opa: paste the output of « groups » | 12:54 |
| ganesh | Stroganoff:libavcodec1d need libavutil1d inturn it needs liblame0 and libx264-54 | 12:55 |
| rakudave | jfcgauss_: yes, something is blocking the unmount, so kill it | 12:55 |
| dixon208 | this is probably the wrong channel to ask this, but is there a mechquest irc chatroom? i know that this is an ubuntu support IRC room.... just had to ask this | 12:55 |

| amro | jrib: thanks. I'm trying to mirror this install on an offline computer- is there a better way to do it? | 12:55 |
| Stroganoff | ganesh: i think you should contact veejay and tell them about these dependency problems: http://www.veejayhq.net/contact/ | 12:56 |
| jrib | !clone | amro | 12:57 |
| ubottu | amro: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 12:57 |
| ganesh | Stroganoff: ya i ll do dat | 12:57 |
| Stroganoff | ganesh: have you tried adding the veejay repositories? http://ppa.launchpad.net/veejay/ubuntu/ | 12:57 |
| oma-opa | jrib any ideas? | 12:58 |
| jrib | amro: now once you get that list on the offline computer, there are tools like apt-zip (or synaptic will generate script) which I believe you can then just transfer back to the online computer and grab the debs that way. I've never done this though | 12:59 |
| Stroganoff | ganesh: go to the third party repo screen in synaptic and add those lines two lines, replacing hardy with intrepid: http://www.veejayhq.net/download-2/ | 12:59 |
| rakudave | ronny: is this restricted to aplay or do the system-sounds work? (login-sound etc...) | 12:59 |

But in the process now whenever I change the volume from my laptop's dedicated volume-up/down keys it doesn't affect the master volume slider, though I still get a on-screen message that the volume is increasing/decreasing.

| Daemonic | something is wrong here.. this kernel compile is taking /forever/ on a majorly overclocked core 2 quad. wtf? | 13:33 |
| jrib | oma-opa: hmm, don't know then. Check for bugs on bugs.gnome.org and bugs.ubuntu.com | 13:33 |
| stefg | furenku: ok, b/c that package has a bug causing this on some machines | 13:33 |
| furenku | stefg, i just apt-cache searched it I don't have it installed | 13:33 |
| furenku | stefg, so, has to be something else | 13:34 |
| ganesh | stefg: i searched for vlc in add/remove but its not there | 13:34 |
| stefg | furenku: it's not installed by default, and if your media-keys work anyway there should have been no reason to instal it | 13:34 |
| Daemonic | my old 3200 athlon would compile faster than this.. what in the hell... | 13:34 |

| king | olavimmanuel, You could connect via VNC once the remote machine has booted from the live-cd. But someone has to boot from the CD. | 13:40 |
| jrib | oma-opa: and you can « ls /media/cdrom/ », but « nautilus /media/cdrom/ » does not work? | 13:40 |
| olavimmanuel | king: thanks :P | 13:40 |
| oma-opa | jrib ls /media/cdrom/VIDEO_TS gives me a permission denied, too | 13:41 |
| king | olavimmanuel, I figured that you may already know that. But if you set up the machine so that it wakes up on LAN, and set the BIOS to boot from CD always, then the only thing the person would have to do is put the boot-cd inside. | 13:41 |
| jrib | oma-opa: permissions on that? | 13:42 |
| oma-opa | yes | 13:42 |
| jrib | oma-opa: I mean "what are they?" :) | 13:42 |

| oCean_ | Safe: what ip's are you trying to ping. Do you have a default route setup correctly? | 14:10 |
| Safe | stefg, I do believe that the DNS config is the problem. | 14:10 |
| stefg | Safe: and you can always run 'sudo dhclient/eth0' to get network (if you have a dhcp-server in your network | 14:10 |
| Safe | oCean_, nothing works, just get "no such host". And no, I don't really know. :) | 14:10 |
| Safe | stefg, I have static though. | 14:10 |
| oCean_ | Safe: failing to ping an ip address is not because of incorrect dns(settings) failing to ping a hostname might | 14:11 |
| stefg | Safe: so you need to figure out the ip of your DNS server and write that to /etc/resolv.conf . can you ping a known IP ? | 14:11 |
| MARINE1 | did backup config and saved it to my desktop now i can't find it | 14:11 |

| Safe | I'm dualbooting so it's a little hard to troubleshoot too. | 14:12 |
| oCean_ | Safe: type "route -n" Line starting with "0.0.0.0" is your default route. 2nd field is your default gateway. Can you ping that address? | 14:12 |

| arbeck77 | I have a microsoft wireless mouse that has four buttons (3 buttons + scroll/tilt will). The left and right click work, as does the scroll and tilt wheel. However middle click does nothing, and so does the fourth button. Is there anyway to configure them? | 14:19 |
| jback1 | hi there, i have a question to installing ubuntu via live cd. Does it copy the current state of the live session to the hdd or a default one? does it make sense to delete programs i don't need and upgrade the system BEFORE installing ubuntu? | 14:20 |
| W_McL | uni4dfx, found that? in the keyboard setup application there's a tab called "layout", where you find a button "other options" there you can open a menu in which you can for example set up a specific behaviour for the alt/ and win keys. | 14:20 |
| stefg | mp3guy: i'm not familliar with network-manager , but it shouldn't be to hard to just tell network manager that you want. eg. 192.168.0.1 for one machien and 192.168.0.2 for the other (on their respective wired interfaces) | 14:20 |
| MARINE1 | oCean_, still waiting | 14:21 |
| uni4dfx | W_McL: yea i found it, the current alt/win option is "default" | 14:21 |
| mp3guy | stefg, ok so ipv4 settings should be manual, I need an address, a netmask, a gateway, then there's also a DNS servers box and a Search domains box | 14:21 |
| crischan | hi, i have a brand new 1TB external USB disk, which i reformated to ext3 fs. now my 8.10 (Gnome) mounts it right, but does not give me write perms. what mount options do i need? | 14:21 |

| belesprit | Hey, I am completely new to linux... got frustrated last night and nuked windows. I got ubuntu working fine (more or less) My question is where can I find a good starting resource, i.e. books, documents, etc that will teach me how to use the terminal? | 14:22 |
| bonhoffer | it is like i don't even have a cable plugged in -- but i am plugged into my wet546 router | 14:22 |
| W_McL | uni4dfx, then try to set it to "Meta is mapped to the Win-keys" | 14:22 |
| stefg | mp3guy: all you need is give the wired interfaces an IP and a netmask. i suggest using 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.2.2 ... gateway and DNS is only needed for internet, but that's on a different interface | 14:23 |
| mp3guy | stefg, ok I'll give it a go | 14:23 |
| uni4dfx | W_McL: tried, but it still won't show up in xev | 14:23 |
| fogobogo | http://cb.vu/ | 14:23 |

| W_McL | uni4dfx, ok. then you checked if you setup the right keyboard layout? (in the GUI and in you Xorg.conf) | 14:24 |
| belesprit | thanks quibbler | 14:25 |
| RussM | mp3guy, If they're in the same network (192.168.2.x w/ netmask 255.255.255.0) you don't need a route | 14:25 |

| stefg | mp3guy: and try using ftp intead of samba.... much faster | 14:27 |
| mp3guy | oh? how do I go about that? I've used gftp before for webservers | 14:28 |
| Stroganoff | arbeck77: install imwheel | 14:28 |
| W_McL | uni4dfx, weird, but i just reproduced the behavior of the win key not showing up in xev when I put it's behavior to default. Selecting the default layout doesn't work? | 14:28 |

| === chaky__ is now known as chaky | ||
| khoi | hey | 14:28 |
| stefg | mp3guy: just the same... install a ftp server on either box, | 14:28 |
| oCean_ | vineeth: did you mirror an entire repository? | 14:28 |
| stefg | mp3guy: proftp has a nice gui | 14:29 |
| RussM | Daemonic, There's a bunch of ways... You could use sed to sub all trailing 000 with an empty string: | sed -e 's/000$//' | 14:29 |
| Stroganoff | vineeth you don't want to install 6 dvds worth of software. you won't need 95% of it i guess | 14:29 |
| vineeth | i got as 6 dvds from local | 14:29 |
| mp3guy | stefg, cool, I'll try it out. I get about 5MB/s using samba, will it be much faster on ftp? | 14:29 |
| uni4dfx | W_McL: will it make it default if i just have one layout in that list? | 14:29 |
| Daemonic | RussM: thank you sir. that works wonders! | 14:29 |
| arbeck77 | mp3guy: instead of ftp or samba, I like NFS... i find it's the best solution when I have mac's windows and linux across my house, but it's easier than ftp | 14:29 |
| oCean_ | vineeth: usually one just downloads the install-cd. After installing you can use packagemanagers to add programs you want | 14:29 |
| uni4dfx | W_McL: even though the "Default" optionbox is unchecked | 14:29 |
| stefg | mp3guy: i get 11MB/s over a 100m line with ftp | 14:29 |
| vineeth | but i want to check all programs and what is in it | 14:30 |
| W_McL | uni4dfx, I'm not sure, but I here also have only one layout and it's selected | 14:30 |
| oCean_ | vineeth: that makes no sense, does it? | 14:30 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:14 |

| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 15:20 |

| shishio | nickrud : ok | 16:56 |
| mattbd | RealKillaz: Until you can get it configured it won't be much use. | 16:56 |
| nickrud | shishio, then, on the main menu, file->generate package download script. take that script to the other computer on the net, and run it. it will get all the packages you need | 16:56 |
| n8tuser | Safe -> without knowing how your connectivity to your ISP work (in your country) kind of difficult to give you good advice | 16:56 |

| mattbd | RealKillaz: There's a forum post at http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=654 which I used to get mine working, and that's the kind of info you'll need to get from your ISP | 16:57 |
| RealKillaz | mattbd: and I left all the other setting to default | 16:57 |
| Safe | n8tuser, I just put in my IP address, gateway and DNS and everything was go. | 16:57 |

| psypoint1r | is it possible do upgrade an existing debian stable to an ubuntu server? | 17:44 |
| jtaji | ScottG489: it has to be a swap partition, there's no way around it in it's current implementation | 17:44 |
| ScottG489 | Scunizi: fiftyone: so i tried typing "free" one time before i swapd and I had used about a gig between both my swap and RAM so I have no idea why there wouldnt be enough space | 17:45 |
| psypoint1r | (i've got debian on my server but the packages are too old for me) | 17:45 |
| fiftyone | Scottg489 i think that 1gb of swap is more than enough | 17:45 |
| Scunizi | ScottG489: the typical rule for hibernate is 1.5x ram.. for you that's a lot.. can you hybernate with nothing open but the desktop? | 17:45 |

| deany | isnt Doom native now? | 17:46 |
| ScottG489 | Scunizi: fiftyone: jtaji said that hibernate can not find my hibernation file so as far as hibernate is concerned I only have 1.5 gigs of swap, apparently. Yes I'm on a laptop | 17:46 |
| fiftyone | mattbd, wow man i so remember windows 90 lol | 17:46 |
| mattbd | deany: Freedoom isn't quite the same - I think a lot of the content is non-free | 17:47 |
| mattbd | deany: The original Doom for DOS works best IMHO, I run it in DOSBox, but Wine will run the Windows 95 version | 17:47 |
| Xenos_ | Ah. Got it mounted now. Now I just have to wait for updates to finish installing and I'll add PySDM (A web tutorial I found seems to recommend ntfs-config, tho?) | 17:47 |
| noo7 | Enter text here...any girl | 17:48 |
| fiftyone | scottG489 I had the problem with my eeepc because ubuntu for somereason the hibernate osent work out of the box so i had to make a special swap file just for hibernation, still dosent work when I close the lid but fn+f1 work like a charm | 17:48 |
| Scunizi | ScottG489: hibernate is a difficult thing to get right on laptops because there is no standard way of implementing it. Ubuntu has made great strides in accomidating many types but hasn't reverse engineered them all. your's might be one of those.. check www.ubuntuforums.org and search for your laptop and hibernate to see what others are saying. | 17:48 |
| deany | Xenos_, just make your mount point and add to fstab | 17:48 |
| CoffeeBean | Can someone help me find some good tutorials on using the tao framework with Monodevelop? | 17:49 |
| ScottG489 | Scunizi: fiftyone: jtaji: So like I said, it seems like it would be best to just make hibernate write to my hard disk partition instead of swap? And Scunizi, it will hibernate sometimes so it does work, but it just seems kinda erratic as to when it works. | 17:49 |
| fiftyone | try looking on google for hibernation + ubuntu + your laptop version chances are this is not an isolaated probelm | 17:49 |
| Droopsta915 | Why does my network icon say disables, but I can get online? | 17:49 |

| noo7 | hi | 17:50 |
| noo7 | were you | 17:50 |
| ScottG489 | fiftyone: I think it might have been hibernate before for me but I wanted to bind those keys to sleep. It wouldnt really matter either way, its the command the executes that matters. Im using a Dell Studio 15 | 17:51 |
| ScottG489 | Scunizi: fiftyone: But there is a way to make hibernate write to my hard disk partition isnt there? | 17:51 |

| daemoen_ | hey guys, does ubutu support group type installations? | 17:54 |
| mattbd | evon: OpenGEU is very polished and looks great, OzOS is very nice, but it's not quite on the same level as OpenGEU. | 17:54 |
| daemoen_ | with fedora, we are able to do yum groupinstall "group name", trying to get a fully working development environment, and its getting rather tiring having to do it package by package | 17:54 |
| NicEXE | how can I untar a tar file using xarchiver (in cli) | 17:55 |
| daemoen_ | NicEXE, use tar instead. | 17:55 |
| daemoen_ | tar -x | 17:55 |
| daemoen_ | if its a bz2 use tar -jx if its gz use tar -zx | 17:55 |
| NicEXE | daemoen: instead of what? | 17:55 |
| alaz | daemoen_, install fedora then :p | 17:55 |
| Droopsta915 | I cant get my netwrok connection? I eedited the /etc/network/interface. I was messing with vbox last night. I got online in the morning and now I can't get online? | 17:56 |
| evon | mattbd: i'm installing OZOS in virtualbox right now and looks great so far. I think it looks a lot better than OpenGEU but I don't know what it will run like | 17:56 |
| daemoen_ | alaz, nice typical dumbshit response to someone asking an honest question. | 17:56 |
| daemoen_ | dont waste my time, plz. | 17:56 |
| fiftyone | scottG489 yes, like i said you just create a file on your hard drive. just create the file say 2gb then you tell linux to write hibernation there instead of your swap partition. | 17:56 |
| mattbd | evon:I do think that E17 is the ideal desktop for netbooks though, and if I ran a netbook manufacturer I'd consider taking on the E17 developers on a salary to get it up to scratch quickly | 17:56 |
| Scunizi | NicEXE: tar is also a program that will untar and tar a set of files. | 17:56 |
| Scunizi | NicEXE: man tar | 17:56 |
| fiftyone | mattbd the eee pc is an amazing netbook | 17:56 |
| daemoen_ | is there a similar way of installing groups in ubuntu, fairly straightforward question | 17:56 |
| mattbd | evon: It's good, definitely, but the themes aren't really my cup of tea | 17:56 |
| Droopsta915 | ifconfig | 17:56 |
| evon | mattbd: do you know if it comes with mp3, DVD and mp3 support (either opengeu or ozos) | 17:57 |
| MoTec | xfce4 runs like a champ on my netbook. | 17:57 |
| mattbd | fiftyone: I have an Eee and I love it | 17:57 |
| Xenos | Ahh, better. | 17:57 |
| IntuitiveNipple | daemoen_: which development packages are you wanting? The Debian way is to use 'virtual' packages that depend on a bunch of real packages to install several at once | 17:57 |
| mattbd | evon: I'm not sure about OzOS, but most Ubuntu-based distros ship without that support | 17:57 |
| IntuitiveNipple | daemoen_: See for example the virtual package "ubuntu-desktop" | 17:57 |
| evon | mattbd: oh so it's just a matter of themes for you. ok. I want to install it on my sons old P3 but i want something that comes with that kind of support | 17:57 |
| daemoen_ | right, or kubuntu-desktop | 17:57 |

| IntuitiveNipple | daemoen_: correct | 17:58 |
| daemoen_ | is there a list of the virtual packages? | 17:58 |
| fiftyone | mattbd, its amazing fantastic little lappy i got the 1000H with 160gb Hd its fantastic. one of the best laptops i have owned | 17:58 |
| mattbd | evon: It's pretty easy to install - just run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:58 |
| evon | mattbd: so as far as stability goes ozos is fine? | 17:58 |
| fiftyone | even better ssince im running ubuntu on it | 17:58 |
| evon | mattbd: oh ok | 17:58 |
| mattbd | evon: It was fine for me. | 17:58 |
| fiftyone | i made that decision that if I bought it I would only run linux on it | 17:58 |
| daemoen_ | or an easy way to list them for that matter. dont know debian/ubuntu very well, so rather unfamiliar with it | 17:58 |
| cristi | hy! i have some problem with my laptop. if i put the headsets on the sound will play through the headset but also through the speakers. how can i fix that so it will only play through headset. | 17:58 |
| daemoen_ | was at least able to get the libs i needed by doing apt-get install zlib* but that was rather sloppy | 17:59 |
| NicEXE | how can i mount file.img to /here ? | 17:59 |
| mattbd | fiftyone: Mine's a 2GB Surg so it's too small to run Ubuntu :-( | 17:59 |
| evon | mattbd: thanks for the input. I will let my son choose which one he wants and install it. I will probably put one on my laptop too. | 17:59 |
| daemoen_ | NicEXE, use the loop device | 17:59 |
| mattbd | evon: Have you heard of Maryan Linux? | 17:59 |
| IntuitiveNipple | daemoen_: I'm not aware of a list, and I can't see how to search for them on http://packages.ubuntu.com ... possibly apt-cache can do that | 18:00 |
| NicEXE | daemoen: how? | 18:00 |
| adaptr | Aryan Linux ? | 18:00 |
| evon | mattbd: my laptop is an up to date one but i want an OS that will take up less resources. Maryan linux is still in its testing stages as far as I know. i installed it in virtualbox yesterday | 18:00 |
| mattbd | adaptr: No, Maryan Linux http://www.maryanlinux.com/ | 18:00 |
| ScottG489 | fiftyone: Ok, well I think that person was having a different problem then me but thanks. And how do I tell hibernate to write to that file on my harddisk instead of swap? | 18:00 |
| daemoen_ | IntuitiveNipple, ok, ty, at least i have it compiling now, would just rather use a group :) | 18:00 |
| IntuitiveNipple | NicEXE: losetup /dev/loop0 file.img && mkdir /here && mount /dev/loop0 /here | 18:00 |
| mattbd | evon: OK, I thought that might be worth trying as it's based on Linux Mint so it includes the restricted extras out of the box | 18:01 |
| SherlawkDragon | hey | 18:01 |
| Droopsta915 | I have a br0 , eth0 , and lo, I don't want the br0. How can I get it to go away? | 18:01 |
| IntuitiveNipple | daemoen_: If you want the *development* headers then if there is a similar ubuntu package to the one you're building (possibly an earlier version) I often cheat and just do sudo apt-get build-dep <package> | 18:01 |
| evon | mattbd: well i will follow your instructions to install the restricted stuff | 18:01 |

| notk0 | guys how can i find the equivalent of /dev/sound please? | 18:15 |
| mattbd | evon: OK, there's two versions of Enlightenment at present - E16 and E17 | 18:16 |
| kshadow | Well, updating to intrepid worked fine, and my wireless didn't die,. | 18:16 |
| _VIM_ | mattbd: i think Ubuntu only has E16 in the repos :( | 18:16 |
| porkpie | guy's what is the latest 64bit server version for ubuntu | 18:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | TheBase: If you try it and review /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/debug after it starts you'll soon know whether it is stable. | 18:16 |
| mattbd | evon: E16 is the stable version which will be in most distro's repositories | 18:16 |
| evon | mattbd: e16 worked but i didn't like it at all. e17 is what I want | 18:16 |
| === Guest61937 is now known as chris-p | ||
| TheBase | timahvo1, the 80211.h is in the /usr/include and I think it's part of the linux-libc. Is there any way I can find out exactly which module does it belongs to? | 18:16 |
| Scunizi | porkpie: intrepid | 18:16 |
| porkpie | Scunizi:is that x86 | 18:17 |
| mattbd | evon: Getting packages for E17 is a real pain, but I've done it before. Give me a minute and I'll find it. | 18:17 |
| yoyit2 | i get this error when i am trying to install something in package manager Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>=2.15.0) but 2.14.4-0ubuntu2 is to be installed the vision that is install right now is 2.14.4 why wont it install i got the latest version | 18:17 |
| Scunizi | porkpie: there should also be a 64 bit version | 18:17 |
| TheBase | IntuitiveNipple, that sound a fun thing to do :) | 18:17 |
| kshadow | evon: e17 is nice, but it's not completely stable. | 18:17 |
| kshadow | evon: But you can still get it using reasy.sh, or easy.sh | 18:18 |

| kshadow | Follow that. | 18:20 |
| TheBase | IntuitiveNipple, there are loads of different versions of the 80211.h | 18:20 |
| kshadow | It's a bit out of date, but you'l still get the latest. | 18:20 |
| kshadow | But remember, e17 isn't entirely stable. | 18:20 |
| evon | mattbd: yup that's the one i tried | 18:20 |
| evon | mattbd: didn't work | 18:20 |
| kshadow | Some people have been running it for months without any problems, but it didn't work too well for me when I tried it a few months back. | 18:20 |
| fearful | SliM1: Do you have swap enabled? | 18:21 |
| evon | mattbd: same error apt gave me | 18:21 |
| mattbd | evon: OK, so it was something to do with CVS? | 18:21 |
| kshadow | evon, mattbd Use this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=97199&highlight=E17+cvs | 18:21 |
| SliM1 | fearful: i do, but i don't really need swap | 18:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | TheBase: is it linux/ieee80211.h you're interested in | 18:22 |
| SliM1 | fearful: i have never seen it being used | 18:22 |
| evon | kshadow: that's a really old one. older than the other one | 18:22 |
| TheBase | IntuitiveNipple, things are been added to it on most kernel releases (if not all) | 18:22 |
| kshadow | evon: Yesw, but it works. | 18:22 |
| kshadow | :) | 18:22 |
| TheBase | IntuitiveNipple, no. it's the nl80211.h | 18:22 |
| timahvo1 | TheBase: apt-file search 80211.h should be under net/ | 18:22 |
| SliM1 | fearful: i do have 4 GB of RAM | 18:22 |
| TheBase | IntuitiveNipple, http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.28.4/include/linux/nl80211.h | 18:22 |
| fearful | SliM1: Your swap uses 0%? | 18:22 |
| evon | mattbd: i don't know about cvs? | 18:22 |
| SliM1 | fearful: yes | 18:22 |
| fearful | Thats awkward you should be using some of the swap that could be one of the starting errors | 18:23 |
| mattbd | evon: CVS is a versioning system. Basically it means it grabs the source code for it and compiles it. | 18:23 |
| TheBase | IntuitiveNipple, browsing through the version you will see that new stuff keeps been added. | 18:23 |
| ronny | hi | 18:23 |
| mattbd | evon: You do gt the latest and greatest but it's very slow and can take a few hours to compile | 18:23 |
| ronny | is there any reason why subversion depends on mysql-common? | 18:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | TheBase: I'm looking at the git-log history | 18:24 |
| kshadow | mattbd: Few hours? You must have a slow box. :O | 18:24 |
| fearful | SliM1: I can't think why else it is using so much memory, sometimes little apps like update manager and gnome-panel use a lot of the RAM but should go to swap | 18:24 |
| evon | mattbd: i did use the cvs version i believe because it took a very long time to install | 18:24 |
| WeeLubo | Hi all, Can anyone tell me how to stop my disc drive ejecting during the boot sequence? | 18:25 |
| SliM1 | fearful: well, yes, but the appearance manager app is a real problem | 18:25 |
| fearful | SliM1: You sure swap is enabled? | 18:25 |
| mattbd | evon: With something like OpenGEU or OzOS it'll already be bundled with E17 so no compile time unless it uses the CVS to upgrade | 18:25 |
| SliM1 | fearful: 0 out of 5GB | 18:25 |

| mattbd | kshadow: This was in Virtualbox, so a bit slower than a real machine | 18:25 |
| kshadow | Ah, yeah, for sure. | 18:25 |
| TheBase | IntuitiveNipple, where can I get the file's history? | 18:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | TheBase: yeah, the key differences between v2.6.24 (hardy) and v2.6.25 are station beacon and key handling | 18:25 |

| evon | mattbd: burning ozos right now | 18:26 |

| IntuitiveNipple | TheBase: It'll be quicker to install an Intrepid kernel and modify menu.lst | 18:27 |
| fearful | SliM1: I seriously can't think of any reason why its using so much RAM. | 18:27 |
| fiftyone | I used bestcrypt before on windows i downloaded it for linux but not sure how well it will work. Anyone have any experiance with encryption for linux>< | 18:27 |
| evon | mattbd: me too. I tried opengeu on my laptop before and it didn't work well at all | 18:27 |

| SliM1 | fearful: i have already restarted my computer several times | 18:28 |
| fiftyone | kshadow, thanks | 18:28 |
| mattbd | evon: Well, laptops are generally more tricky than desktops | 18:28 |
| SliM1 | fearful: perhaps kde is better | 18:28 |
| fearful | SliM1: Well, you can try because I seriously have no reason why your apperance manager is using so much RAM it shouldn't | 18:29 |
| evon | mattbd: i guess so. i use my laptop mostly so i need a good OS for it/ | 18:29 |

| mattbd | wcdl: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin | 18:33 |
| fearful | SliM1: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 18:33 |
| Royall | Zopiac1: that is what makes your cursor faster | 18:33 |
| wcdl | i want to make it look like Mac but only the window | 18:33 |
| mattbd | wcdl: There's full instructions inside the package | 18:33 |
| wcdl | without the borders | 18:33 |
| MoTec | SliM1: Might want to consider xubuntu-desktop too, it uses xfce4 | 18:33 |
| mattbd | wcdl: You can pick out just the parts you want to use | 18:33 |
| SliM1 | fearful: yeah, i know, but i'll remove gnome before that | 18:34 |
| Zopiac1 | Royall: then what is sensitivity? in just about everything else i use it is how fast it moves | 18:34 |
| wcdl | i'll give it a try | 18:34 |
| mattbd | wcdl: Only other way to do it would be to find a theme that is already like that or make one | 18:34 |
| fearful | SliM1: Ok well, sorry coulnd't help... I have no idea and yea you could try xubuntu, its made for less resource usage | 18:34 |
| Royall | Zopiac1: Don't really know, but Acceleration is the speed | 18:34 |
| evon | mattbd: true enough. I just don't have the time for all that tinkering. and I really dislike windows. | 18:34 |
| SliM1 | MoTec: well, i'll start with kde | 18:34 |
| SliM1 | is it faster than gnome? | 18:34 |
| [biabia] | Danielbw_home: aha! thanks | 18:34 |
| wcdl | and about edit an existing one | 18:34 |
| fearful | SliM1: It's made for computers with less power. | 18:34 |
| MoTec | yes, xfce is blazingly fast compared to either gnome or xfce, expecially on lower power hardware. | 18:35 |
| adaptr | xfce beats xfce on all fronts! | 18:35 |
| SliM1 | kde, not xfce | 18:35 |
| MoTec | you can download the xubuntu and kubuntu live cds and give 'em both a try. | 18:35 |
| MoTec | adaptr: heh, yes.. i messed that up, obviously :) | 18:35 |
| rsteckler | To change my hostname, it looks like I need to modify /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts. Is there anything else I need to modify? This is an ssh-only server, so I need to make sure I'll have access after I change it =) | 18:35 |
| mattbd | wcdl: Yes you could do that, but it's easier to find an existing one on http://gnome-look.org | 18:35 |
| SliM1 | hmm, won't xubuntu-dektop/kubuntu-desktop be enough? | 18:36 |
| MoTec | meant to say that xfce is faster than kde and/or gnome, obviously :) | 18:36 |
| wcdl | mattbd: the question is, i like the darkroom theme and i want to remove the window border of that theme | 18:36 |
| MoTec | SliM1: yes, you can do that, too | 18:36 |
| [biabia] | kde is more geared to profiding expanded configurability and features while xfce is designed towards systems where resource conservation is desired/necessary ? | 18:36 |
| wcdl | is there anyway to do that? | 18:36 |
| SliM1 | MoTec: does compiz work (well) with xubuntu? | 18:36 |
| mattbd | wcdl: You can change Metacity's theme | 18:36 |
| imdeveloper | is nessesory to install antivirus on ubuntu ? | 18:36 |
| darkweasel | no | 18:36 |
| MoTec | SliM1: I don't use copiz becaue my hardware is weak - that's why i'm using xfce in the first place. | 18:37 |
| darkweasel | http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/evilmalware.html | 18:37 |
| darkweasel | :p | 18:37 |
| deany | I dont see hardly any difference in speed/mem usage with xubuntu/ubuntu.. i noticed it using gnome libs too.. | 18:37 |
| mattbd | wcdl: Metacity is the window manager, so that controls the outsides of the application such as the minimise and exit widgets and the outside | 18:37 |
| mattbd | wcdl: Or you could use Compiz and install the Emerald theme manager so you could use Emerald themes, which are a lot nicer than Metacity ones | 18:38 |
| SliM1 | MoTec: why not openbox? :> | 18:38 |
| MoTec | SliM1: because there is no oubuntu :) | 18:38 |
| SliM1 | there is | 18:38 |
| mattbd | SliM1: There's CrunchBang Linux, that uses OpenBox, and is very good | 18:39 |
| quibbler | darkweasel: is open source only getting that now...windows has had it for ages | 18:39 |
| SliM1 | MoTec: i think i've read about it in the wiki | 18:39 |
| SliM1 | mattbd: well, openbox is not for me | 18:40 |
| darkweasel | yeah, when it comes to viruses open source is years behind windows, really! | 18:40 |
| MoTec | SliM1: yeah, just found a forum post on how to install it, starting from ubuntu-server | 18:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | darkweasel: A great way of phrasing it, that :D | 18:40 |
| alltax | xfig gives me this when trying to export fig2dev: can't open file: /usr/share/xfig/fig2dev/sv_SE.UTF-8.ps :( | 18:41 |

| lordnoid | hi, I added windows xp to my grub config file but when I try to boot it nothing happens.. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/115729/ | 18:41 |
| darkweasel | ubuntu server has a different kernel? seems new to me | 18:41 |
| mattbd | darkweasel: Yes, they have a kernel customised for servers installed by default in Ubuntu Server, if you install a desktop like ubuntu-desktop it can mess it up because it will pull in the kernel for Ubuntu Desktop | 18:42 |
| darkweasel | ah, ok - learning something new every day | 18:43 |

| Flannel | blip-: Just remove them from the admin group | 18:43 |
| mattbd | blip-: Run visudo and remove them from the list of sudoers | 18:43 |
| IntuitiveNipple | darkweasel: server kernel has a slower clock (desktop has 250Hz, server 100Hz), PAE support on 32-bit, and several other differences | 18:43 |

| darkweasel | SliM1, not on hardy | 18:44 |
| fearful | SliM1: Yes it will | 18:44 |
| _VIM_ | yes it will | 18:44 |
| darkweasel | really? | 18:45 |
| Flannel | mattbd: The users aren't listed in sudoers, so you can't remove them from it. | 18:45 |
| Artelus | I heard there was a way to install Ubuntu inside windows, is this a good idea? | 18:45 |
| mattbd | Flannel: Oh, yes, you're right. Ooops! | 18:45 |
| darkweasel | actually i thought on hardy it's called kubuntu-desktop-kde4 or something | 18:45 |
| fearful | Artelus: Depends on your usage of Ubuntu | 18:45 |
| _VIM_ | Artelus: you mean wubi? | 18:45 |
| maxagaz | the fan of my ATI 9600 never stop to turn, how to stop it ? | 18:45 |
| Artelus | Well, from the Live CD | 18:45 |
| === alain is now known as Guest90096 | ||
| step21 | Artelus: depends on what you want to use it for | 18:45 |
| quibbler | !wubi | Artelus | 18:45 |
| ubottu | Artelus: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 18:45 |
| Artelus | there's an option to install/uninstall inside windows. | 18:45 |
| fearful | Artelus: If you want it just to mess around with it then yea | 18:45 |
| _VIM_ | darkweasel: no | 18:45 |
| Artelus | I don't want to risk partitioning my drive to dual-boot Ubuntu, and I also don't want to run it from USB | 18:46 |
| mattbd | Artelus: Virtualbox is a good way to try it too | 18:46 |
| fearful | Artelus: If you want to work with the system, than I suggest you dualboot using grub. | 18:46 |
| darkweasel | then wubi is a good idea | 18:46 |
| fearful | Artelus: Than, yea wubi | 18:46 |
| Artelus | But I want to use ubuntu for like...browsing and stuff. | 18:46 |
| * nickrud votes for virtualbox over wubi any day | 18:46 | |
| mattbd | Flannel: Sorry, I've only ever amended /etc/sudoers in other distros | 18:46 |
| step21 | wubi will be faster thehn virtual box and use real hardware | 18:46 |
| fearful | Artelus: Wubi will install it using the Windows loader | 18:46 |
| * _VIM_ adds his vote for Vbox too | 18:46 | |
| Artelus | I heard there is a bit of a performance decrese, does that mean ubuntu with wubi is slower than if I installed it on it's own, or is it just the hard drive? | 18:46 |
| fiftyone | Does anyone suggest I should try out KDE? I never really used KDE before I always been Gnome, What do you guys think>? Which is better / why? | 18:46 |
| quibbler | Artelus: yes | 18:47 |
| step21 | Artelus: just harddrive | 18:47 |
| maxagaz | is there a command to stop the fan of my ATI 9600 gaphic card ? | 18:47 |
| fiftyone | I did try fluxbox but i could never figure it out and always screwed it up within minutes | 18:47 |
| fearful | Artelus: Yes but, if you want it to browse and stuff than its ok. | 18:47 |
| mattbd | Artelus: Wubi is slower because it's running on a Windows filesystem and not a native Linux one | 18:47 |
| nickrud | Artelus, if you are scrupulous about defragging before and after the install, it'll run about as fast as it can | 18:47 |
| mattbd | fiftone: I like IceWM | 18:47 |
| darkweasel | fiftyone, personally i prefer gnome - but just try it and see for yourself if you like it ;) | 18:47 |
| Artelus | Ah, so Ubuntu's speed is not decreased, just my hard drive while using wubi? | 18:47 |
| mattbd | Artelus: No | 18:47 |
| Artelus | Because I want to install Ubuntu to use as a full operating system, but I don't want to partition or anything... | 18:48 |
| darkweasel | well it can suffer from ntfs defragmentation, from what i've heard | 18:48 |
| fiftyone | darkewasel I think KDE is more windows es>? no? I mean what are the main differences>? | 18:48 |
| mattbd | Artelus. Windows uses the NTFS filesystem, Ubuntu uses ext3 | 18:48 |
| G-Bleezy | Hey I got this problem booting and was wondering if someone coudl help me? | 18:48 |
| fearful | Artelus: Native linux uses ext3, while in Windows its either fat32 or ntfs. It'll be slower because of that | 18:48 |
| joanki124 | is there anyway i can see the last time a user logged into my computer? i think i've been hacked | 18:48 |
| darkweasel | G-Bleezy, please specify what your problem is | 18:48 |
| satchafunkilus | About one and a half years ago I stumbled upon a Linux game, still Beta at that time. But I can't remember it's name. You could draw let's say two circles, make them spin, put a box on them and there you made a car. There wasn't a deb for a game, you just extract it an play. I hope that someone can tell me the name of this game! ;) | 18:48 |
| G-Bleezy | when i boot it says: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown wn-block(0,0) | 18:48 |
| Artelus | alright... | 18:48 |
| G-Bleezy | anyone know how i could fix that? | 18:48 |
| Artelus | well, what's the risk of repartitioning my hard drive? | 18:48 |
| step21 | i think he got that. but all drivers etc will work normally | 18:48 |
| jonah | my machine still will not play downloaded limewire songs :( but i like ubuntu and i wish it would work! | 18:49 |
| fearful | Artelus: If you want it just for browsing and playing around with it I suggest installing with wubi. | 18:49 |
| Artelus | I can partition my C drive to make it small, and give about 20GB to ubuntu, but will it mess anything up? | 18:49 |
| darkweasel | jonah, what format are they in? | 18:49 |
| fiftyone | satchafunkilus i know exactly what your talking about. | 18:49 |
| fiftyone | I played it too | 18:49 |
| mattbd | Artelus: How powerful is your machine? Virtualbox might be a better choice | 18:49 |
| fearful | Artelus: There is not a real risk if you can do it correctly. Read up on how to partition drives, theres many walk through | 18:49 |
| joanki124 | can someone please helop me? | 18:49 |
| Artelus | It's not so good. | 18:49 |
| Flannel | mattbd: No worries | 18:49 |
| Artelus | 384MB ram, 3.1Ghz processor | 18:49 |
| fiftyone | i cant remember the name but 1 sec ii will look | 18:49 |
| jonah | mp3. lol. i installed the gstreamer mp3 plugin. no dice | 18:49 |
| Artelus | graphic card is average | 18:49 |
| step21 | Artelus: i'd just use wubi for now ... you can see if drivers etc work w/o risk | 18:49 |
| fearful | Artelus: I would go with Xubuntu then | 18:49 |
| Artelus | alright | 18:49 |
| mattbd | Artelus: OK, Virtualbox is definitely out | 18:50 |
| Artelus | Does Xubuntu work with wubi? | 18:50 |
| _VIM_ | O.o all that processor and hardly no ram? | 18:50 |
| darkweasel | yes Artelus | 18:50 |
| _VIM_ | ram is cheap! | 18:50 |
| fearful | lol | 18:50 |
| mattbd | Artelus: Wubi comes on Xubuntu and Kubuntu as well | 18:50 |
| darkweasel | joanki124, if nobody knows, nobody will answer - maybe the forums or mailing lists are a better place if you don't get an answer here | 18:50 |
| satchafunkilus | fiftyone: please send me a private msg, i'll be back in 5-10 min | 18:50 |

| matrix | ok i found it | 18:54 |
| fiftyone | how do you automount a drive? I have an 80gb and a 30gb partition i would like to auto-mount any ideas how> | 18:54 |
| diggid | mount--auto | 18:54 |
| energY | fiftyone: sudo apt-get install just-google-it | 18:54 |
| darkweasel | i think you have to edit something in /etc/fstab - but i don't know what exactly | 18:55 |
| matrix | fearful:iam in brasero what to choose there there are 4 options | 18:55 |
| IntuitiveNipple | fiftyone: If they are on a fixed disk you'll need to add entries to /etc/fstab describing them, and a directory to mount them on (usually in /media/ or /mnt/) | 18:55 |
| IntuitiveNipple | fiftyone: If they are removable devices (hot plug or USB) then gnome-mount should detect and mount them when connected, unless that option is turned off | 18:56 |
| fiftyone | IntuitiveNipple, thanks alot man i appriciate it | 18:56 |

| Xenos | Man! That was horrible. Everything suddenly zoomed in a*lot* and I found no way to exit that. had to logout :-/ | 18:56 |
| Artelus | Hey | 18:56 |
| [biabia] | I removed the kde/kubuntu desktop and it still shows the splash screen for kubuntu on startup. where are those stored? or how can i get it to stop showing the kubuntu splash | 18:56 |
| Artelus | what's the best way to shrink the windows partition and create a new partition? | 18:57 |
| matrix | i have datproject,burnimage,soundproject,cdcopy | 18:57 |
| _VIM_ | Xenos: ive done that more than ill admit :) | 18:57 |
| skate2 | are there any amazing windows applications that dont work at all in ubuntu or have a decent counterpart | 18:57 |
| darkweasel | [biabia], install startup-manager, it allows you to choose the splash screen | 18:57 |
| _VIM_ | they SERIOUSLY need to fix that zoom | 18:57 |
| Xenos | _VIM_: What is it? And why the hell doesn't escape quit it? | 18:57 |
| [biabia] | darkweasel: ok thanks | 18:57 |
| juggalorebor | hello all | 18:57 |
| _VIM_ | Xenos: wish i knew | 18:57 |

| refdef | Hey guys. I have a mobo from an hp pc and i cant find out online if it is compatible with core 2 duo but it is socket 775. What would happen if i put my c2d cpu on it and it wasnt compatible? Would anything be damaged or would it be safe to try? Thanks | 18:57 |
| juggalorebor | have you tried google? | 18:58 |
| Artelus | What's the safest way to shrink the windows partition and make another one for linux? | 18:58 |
| wbagam | partitionmagic or any partition manager will work | 18:59 |
| [biabia] | i personally boot ubuntu live and use gparted | 18:59 |
| juggalorebor | i personally use Gparted | 18:59 |
| juggalorebor | its free | 18:59 |
| Artelus | Will it be safe to use? | 18:59 |
| juggalorebor | never let me down | 19:00 |
| darkweasel | if you pay attention to what you do, yes | 19:00 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Artelus: If the NTFS partition has Vista in it, Windows disk-management allows you to shrink the file-system inside a partition whilst it is running. Then the partition can be shrunk to fit that from gparted or similar | 19:00 |
| [biabia] | safe is a relative term when partitioning. it will do what you tell it | 19:00 |
| GreenHorn | LIRC=headache :( | 19:00 |
| Artelus | I have Vista in it | 19:00 |
| Artelus | Well, what could go wrong? | 19:00 |
| blip- | hi, i have ssh access to an ubuntu machine with sudo superpowers. I need to remove admin privs from a user, I ran "sudo visudo" which opened up a file... but that file doesn't contain that user's name... where is he defined as admin ? | 19:00 |
| quibbler | Artelus: and defrag it first | 19:00 |
| Artelus | I just did :) | 19:00 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Artelus: Use Windows disk management then... in disk management select the file-system and right-click... there is an option to resize | 19:01 |
| klasikahl | blip-: the user can sudo because they're in the admin (or wheel) group | 19:01 |
| Artelus | What can go wrong? any warnings i should know about? | 19:01 |
| klasikahl | blip-: sounds like your sudo powers are defined by group | 19:01 |
| [biabia] | Artelus: if you tell it to do the wrong thing, thinking its what you wanted | 19:01 |

| joanki125 | anyone know a cmd i can type into terminal to get everyone that has recently logged into my machine - every single user? | 19:01 |
| Artelus | Like what? | 19:01 |
| klasikahl | blip-: `man usermod` to see how to remove him from the group | 19:01 |
| klasikahl | joanki125: recently or currently? | 19:01 |
| quibbler | Artelus: it is always good to back things up | 19:01 |
| joanki125 | recently | 19:02 |
| joanki125 | and also to see what users there are on my system? | 19:02 |
| Artelus | I can't really back up 70GB of data... =p | 19:02 |
| _VIM_ | joanki125: again the user logs should tell you that, or did you have no luck with logs yesterday? | 19:02 |
| _VIM_ | joanki125: the who command | 19:02 |
| klasikahl | joanki125: `who` | 19:02 |
| joanki125 | no _VIM_ | 19:02 |
| klasikahl | joanki125: for currently logged in | 19:02 |
| _VIM_ | ah well for now try 'who' | 19:03 |
| joanki125 | klasikahl: for previously logged in? | 19:03 |
| klasikahl | joanki125: /var/log/auth.log is the log of authenticated sessions | 19:03 |
| joanki125 | thanks klas | 19:03 |
| Artelus | I don't see an option to resize....I'm using XP home edition | 19:03 |
| Royall | Every time I open the file selection window with buttons like "Browse" in applications or on websites, the window comes up tiny, and I have to drag the corner to make it normal size. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 19:03 |
| klasikahl | joanki125: take a look at /var/log/auth.log.. whatever editor you prefer, or `less` | 19:03 |
| juggalorebor | I currently run Ubuntu in my Virtual box, if i wanted to put it on my hard drive, will grub automatically change my mbr so i have options for both at startup? | 19:04 |
| joanki125 | klasikahl: so that helped, but it only goes back to february 4 | 19:04 |
| joanki125 | is there a farther back log? | 19:04 |
| joanki125 | thanks by the way | 19:04 |
| klasikahl | joanki125: yes | 19:04 |
| klasikahl | joanki125: logrotate compresses your logs and puts them in archive mode | 19:04 |
| klasikahl | joanki125: ls /var/log/auth.log* | 19:04 |
| klasikahl | joanki125: to read the ones with .gz extension, do `gunzip <log>` | 19:05 |
| klasikahl | joanki125: then use your viewer | 19:05 |

| klasikahl | garrett__: you know, 2.6.29 is a devel version. not meant for everyday use | 19:09 |
| stefg | !kernel | garrett__ | 19:09 |
| ubottu | garrett__: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 19:09 |
| klasikahl | garrett__: odd version numbers mean testing | 19:09 |
| Xenos | _VIM_: In certain portions of Ubuntuspeak, I guess. It's got a Windows logo on my computer though, so calling it the "Windows button" makes a bit more sense IMO :-P | 19:10 |
| sheena1 | hey all. where can i find my "profile folder" for firefox in ubuntu 8.10? | 19:11 |
| Dr_willis | Ive seen keyboards with little "Tux Penguins" instead of the windows logo. | 19:11 |
| darkweasel | go to your home folder sheena1 | 19:11 |
| garrett__ | yes, i do understand that it isn't release ready, but I have a few issues with hardware that may be addressed(from what i read) and I just wanted to try it | 19:11 |
| darkweasel | and press ctrl-h | 19:11 |
| Dr_willis | sheena1, its in .mozilla/ somewhere. :) | 19:11 |
| MoTec | Dr_willis: I think it's under ~/.mozilla | 19:11 |
| darkweasel | then there's a folder .mozilla | 19:11 |
| klasikahl | garrett__: interesting... 2.6.28 didn't give you the fixes you needed? | 19:11 |
| MoTec | Dr_willis: sorry, wrong person | 19:11 |
| sheena1 | oh! Lots of folders in there, darkweasel! I didn't see them before | 19:11 |
| _VIM_ | Xenos: I stuck a pic of a penguin over my win key for that very reason | 19:11 |
| _VIM_ | :D | 19:11 |
| Xenos | hehe | 19:11 |
| jonstetler1 | does anyone have a idea why I would be having problems shutting down ubuntu? when i shutdown I get a really colorful screen? | 19:12 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 19:12 |
| garrett__ | not really, it's a toshiba laptop and the audio chip isn't supported on 2.6.28 | 19:12 |
| MoTec | my keyboard is so old it doesn't even have a windows or penguin key :) only piece of hardware i've been using constantly since the 1980s :) | 19:12 |
| quibbler | i've programmed my "Windows button" to bring up a terminal...so at least it's good for something | 19:12 |
| garrett__ | @jonstetler1: try typing 'sudo shutdown -P now' | 19:13 |
| sheena1 | darkweasel, i found the .mozilla folder, and went into the firefox folder, and i see two things. one is "profiles.ini" and the other is "bl9b06q7.default".. which is the one i want to change? | 19:13 |
| _VIM_ | haha quibbler | 19:13 |

| MoTec | JohnAlpha: what's wrong with the wrt54g? | 19:15 |
| JohnAlpha | garrett: I set it up when my laptop had Vista on it, and I just formatted it to Ubuntu, installed the wireless card driver. | 19:15 |
| garrett__ | @jonstetler: yes, exactly | 19:16 |
| MoTec | I have a small army of those deployed :) | 19:16 |
| JohnAlpha | Ubuntu sees my router's SSID and when I go to connect, it asks for the password. | 19:16 |
| MoTec | JohnAlpha: That will be the wireless encryption key it wants, not the router's password. | 19:16 |
| JohnAlpha | I give the password, specifying WPA & WPA 2 Personal (the router is using WPA) and after attempting to connect for a minute or two, it fails. | 19:16 |

| arvind_khadri | hp, ya.... | 19:32 |
| garrett__ | @jonstetler1: basically press Escape as the bootloader is loading | 19:32 |
| MoTec | NicEXE: I know that works for .iso files and I believe it'll work for .img.. might be wrong however. | 19:32 |

| Sirect | Im a beginner in Ubuntu and I wanted to ask wheter there is any way to completly remove my Audio-Drivers. I tried Alsa and OSS, but both were not working with my Headset. I tried several Tutorials, but none was working. So I would like to remove all the stuff to replace it with new ones? | 19:32 |
| deany | NicEXE, also there is gmountiso if you want a GUI | 19:33 |
| funkylarge | i thought you need some root access to open and edit those files | 19:33 |
| jonstetler1 | garrett_: then boot to the (recovery mode) ? | 19:33 |
| atlef_ | funkylarge: gksu gedit | 19:33 |
| arvind_khadri | funkylarge, gksu gedit /etc/fstab | 19:33 |
| DIL | so sudo gedit .... | 19:33 |
| stefg | antisense: why not make backups (the ones you have are too old anyway :-) ) and repartition you hard disk properly and forget wubi?... ubuntu doesn't need a primary partiton and will happily live on some spare 10 Gigs inside an extended partition | 19:33 |
| NicEXE | MoTec: It worked! | 19:33 |

| garrett__ | @jonstetler1: did you get the full boot version back? | 19:37 |
| NicEXE | ty | 19:37 |
| Slart | NicEXE: sorry..mv is move not copy.. cp is copy | 19:37 |
| BUGabundo | thanks Slart | 19:37 |
| BUGabundo | will do | 19:37 |
| MoTec | might need cp -r /here/* /somwhere | 19:37 |
| MoTec | I forget the exact syntax every time :) | 19:37 |

| Dr_willis | Hmm oddd. | 19:52 |
| Dr_willis | !find cfdisk | 19:52 |
| ubottu | File cfdisk found in dahb-html, doc-linux-html, gnu-fdisk, manpages-fr-extra, manpages-it (and 3 others) | 19:52 |
| MoTec | weird | 19:52 |
| Dr_willis | gnu-fdisk package - would be my guess.. | 19:52 |
| pyk | helpgoingnuts: util-linux | 19:52 |
| stefg | helpgoingnuts: it's in the base-utils... comes with the base install | 19:52 |
| Dr_willis | if ya type 'cfdisk' at the terminal - it may tell you also. | 19:53 |
| helpgoingnuts | can i run from live cd? | 19:53 |
| stefg | helpgoingnuts: sure | 19:53 |

| exodus_ms | helpgoingnuts, why would you want to get away from it | 19:53 |
| MoTec | helpgoingnuts: consider gparted, too... | 19:53 |
| Slart | Kokloco: I think you can select what folders you want to see using imap.. I can't really remember where but it's there someplace.. I have no idea how public folders work in exchange | 19:53 |
| MoTec | helpgoingnuts: expecially if you're running from the live cd | 19:53 |
| Slart | Kokloco: I don't think they use the imap system.. but I'm really just guessing | 19:53 |
| stefg | MoTec: cfdisk does in fact generate a healthy partition table... gparted doesn't in most cases | 19:54 |
| [TiZ] | Hi. My notifications have stopped working. They're not appearing anymore. Can anyone help me fix it? | 19:54 |
| DIL | [TiZ]: try adding it back rt clik menu bar andd notification | 19:55 |

| DIL | [TiZ]: yea | 19:55 |
| helpgoingnuts | hmm in terminal when I run cfdisk it shows fatal error: cannot open disk drive, any key to exit. and with gparted it says root privileges are required, since gparted can be a weapon of mass destruction | 19:55 |
| Kokloco | Slart, OK thanks. I have a lot of problems trying to access my company's email server.

| Slart | helpgoingnuts: run it as "gksudo gparted" | 19:56 |
| DIL | [TiZ]: try adding it back right click on panel and add notification | 19:56 |
| helpgoingnuts | k | 19:56 |
| Slart | helpgoingnuts: you need to be root to change system stuff.. gksudo and sudo does that | 19:56 |

| helpgoingnuts | over lan eh? hmm... | 20:05 |

| CarlFK | eut: i need it more permanently, so that I don't have to do it each time I reboot | 20:05 |
| DIL | dcfldd with air imager | 20:06 |
| silidan | Slart: can you give more details or a hint to a discussion / howto? | 20:06 |
| eut | CarlFK, look at the /etc/init.d scripts, there should be one in there for the power saving stuff | 20:06 |
| mike8888 | hi guys.. | 20:06 |
| talntid | I used my 16gb thumb drive on a WindowsME computer... now Ubuntu only mounts it read-only... any ideas? | 20:06 |

| testrtest1 | Hey guys just had a quick question. I have an hp machine which i wanted to upgrade but could find barely any info online about its motherboard. It has a 775 socket with a p4 chip in it and i wanted to know if there was any risk in putting a core 2 duo on it. I mean, if it is not compatible is there any danger of any damage being done? There is the possibility that it is compatible though. Thanks | 20:07 |
| Slart | silidan: I have no idea how one would do it.. but I guess it would take at least a couple of months to build the hardware and write some kind of driver for it.. | 20:07 |
| sorin7486 | silidan: I think you might have more luck on a hardware channel :) | 20:07 |
| TTT_Travis | testrtest1 not really the right channel, but whats the model number? | 20:07 |
| silidan | well i imagine that it wouldn not require any special hardware | 20:08 |
| spass | testrtest1: check mobo specification | 20:08 |
| testrtest1 | ttt_travis, thanks. its an hp dx2200 the motherboard is msi-0a48 it has ati radeon xpress 200 | 20:08 |
| sorin7486 | silidan: you're right but it would require some kernel hacking | 20:08 |
| testrtest1 | spass cant find much info onlnie | 20:08 |
| Slart | silidan: then it seems you know more about sata and how it communicates than I do | 20:08 |
| silidan | yes, thats why im asking around.... in hope to find someone who already tried / did this | 20:08 |
| silidan | or at least knows for sure f it is possible /impossible | 20:09 |
| Slart | silidan: what makes you think someone has done it? it seems easier to just use a regular ethernet connection | 20:09 |
| talntid | same. read only file system | 20:09 |
| sorin7486 | silidan: try tracking down some kernel people that do sata drivers ;) | 20:09 |
| silidan | because when oyu need parallel processing on low budget and Gbit lan is too slow for you... this would be next option that come to my mind | 20:10 |
| silidan | ok, where can i find kernel developers? | 20:10 |
| talntid | eut: same - read only | 20:10 |
| silidan | especially ones doing sata | 20:10 |
| DIL | helpgoingnuts: check these out http://air-imager.sourceforge.net/; http://dcfldd.sourceforge.net, http://www.sleuthkit.org/autopsy/desc.php | 20:11 |
| TTT_Travis | testrtest1 hmm sorry, I can't find any info about that board, I am doubting a Core 2 would work tho | 20:11 |
| eut | talntid, then i'm not sure... umask should give everybody full permissions, man mount for more info | 20:11 |
| Slart | silidan: if gigabig lan it too slow you're no longer playing in the "low budget" division =).. not sure what they use in supercomputers.. probably something special | 20:11 |
| eut | talntid, *umask=000 | 20:11 |
| ronny | hmm | 20:11 |
| talntid | yeah I had tried that already :) | 20:11 |
| testrtest1 | ttt_travis, thanks, yeah, i cant find much info either. is there any risk in trying to put a c2d on it though? | 20:11 |
| silidan | they ise fiber optic links if im right | 20:11 |
| spass | testrtest1: can you open it up, and read the mobo type they put in those ? | 20:11 |

| TTT_Travis | Hi I have a data hard drive that I moved from my old ubuntu computer, now on the new computer the files are all highlighted green in terminal, I Think that means sticky bit -- how do I get the files back to normal? | 20:12 |
| spass | testrtest1: worst case... it wont run ;] | 20:12 |
| talntid | testrtest1: putting the c2d in a lga 775 won't hurt it | 20:12 |
| slyyf | Ok so, suddenly about a month or so ago dvds stopped working, they work on windows, /dev/scd0 should be the disk drive, however, it says there is no media..if I start gnome (which used to autoplay the dvds)..gnome does not see the dvd drive | 20:12 |
| testrtest1 | spass and ta1ntid thanks | 20:12 |
| Slart | silidan: but go read up on the protocol SATA uses.. if you're lucky it's just software you need | 20:12 |
| testrtest1 | will try it then | 20:12 |

| adac | spass, MoTec what is the bet method with nmap to test if a host is online (if remote host is blocking ping) | 20:12 |
| Slart | Dr_willis: hehe.."ESP inside" =) | 20:12 |
| silidan | ok i think so too, but can oyu give me hint on which channel i can find some kernel ppl ? | 20:13 |
| Slart | silidan: try ##linux ... or check kernel.org | 20:13 |
| eut | talntid, did you unmount it before you remounted? | 20:13 |
| silidan | cause in the end i think a ethernet driver for sata is needed | 20:13 |

| Antioch | i was using an old version of Banshee which auto-downloaded album cover artwork for one of my albums. The artwork is bad - it's distorted in a green color. I just updated to Banshee 1.4.2 hoping that it will use the "cover.jpg" file in the folder where the music resides, but it doesnt. How can I make it flush the old downloaded image and use the cover.jpg in the directory? Thanks! | 20:14 |

| russia213 | How would you format/repartition a drive with Ubuntu? | 20:14 |
| slyyf | anybody? | 20:14 |
| spass | adac: check -sA | 20:14 |
| Dr_willis | russia213, one way - use 'gparted' | 20:14 |
| spass | adac: it needs root perms | 20:15 |
| Dr_willis | russia213, and you partition, then format. | 20:15 |
| === toga30 is now known as ToGa | ||
| MoTec | yeah, both -sA and -O would require root | 20:15 |
| russia213 | Dr_Willis: Where do I get gparted or is it already installed? | 20:15 |
| adac | spass, MoTec ok, i will try your options and see what is the best. thx! | 20:16 |
| Dr_willis | russia213, if its not.. install it.. Logical eh? | 20:16 |

| etech | is there alight desktop environment which doesn't need to be configured with text files? | 20:19 |
| fdr | could you please suggest me an up-to-date howto for installing dansguardian (or any other parental filter) on intrepid as transparent proxy? Thanks! | 20:19 |
| blip- | etchy, every desktop enviroment stores settings in a text file, some provice gui front-ends to modify those. I like openbox, has a frontend called obconf | 20:20 |
| Renfield | I am having all kinds of problems getting Ubuntu installed. | 20:20 |
| blip- | etchy, the only setting that needs to be done manuall is for keyboard shortcuts and that's very easy. it's a new wm so the future will bring more gui tools | 20:20 |
| Renfield | I finally got past the install base system by running it three times. | 20:20 |
| blip- | what's the difference between Hardy and 8.04 LTS ? I can't tell the diff | 20:21 |
| Renfield | Now, it keeps dieing on "select and install software". What can I do? | 20:21 |
| Scunizi | blip-: Hard is 8.04 | 20:21 |
| jrib | blip-: same thing. Technically, the term "Hardy" is meant to used during devel only, but that's not the case in practice | 20:22 |
| etech | blip-, ok, because some desktop environments need to be configured through text files to change the size of the panel for example | 20:22 |
| blip- | Scunizi, yes but I have an old CD that was 8.04 only. I went to download one today and it was called 8.04 LTS | 20:22 |
| blip- | it even had updated drivers somehow | 20:22 |
| nkei0 | What does the kernel option irqpoll do? | 20:22 |
| Renfield | I see various errors: Couldn't find task ubuntustudio-audio, tasksel: aptitude failed (100) | 20:22 |
| blip- | etchy, openbox doesn't give you a panel, you install one seperately from the repositories. if you want an easy and nice one try fbpanel | 20:23 |
| russia213 | DiL: I do I get it to format to ntfs? | 20:23 |
| blip- | etchy, and if you want desktop icons, try pcmanfm file manager (it has desktop icon support in the file manager itself :) | 20:23 |
| Johnny5 | I have a bit of a problem :( | 20:24 |
| helpgoingnuts | hey | 20:25 |
| WIGGMPk | My openoffice does not have "Icons" on the toolbars, it just has the words identifying the actions. Why is this? and how can I get the icons like i see in other screenshots? | 20:25 |
| Johnny5 | I deleted a non-essential primary partition so that I could create an extended partition there instead, and free up that 4th primary spot to put Linux on..... but now Windows doesn't boot up and I can't see my partitions | 20:26 |
| edoceo | My apt-get reports loads of dependency errors on this machine I just assumed control of - how do I "trick" it to ignore those so I can just get a kernel update? | 20:26 |
| Scunizi | WIGGMPk: might have something to do with your theme.. I installed a dark theme yesterday and all my icons with OO disappeared as well. | 20:26 |
| Grok4242 | ntp seems to be missing on the servers. Getting a 404. Anyone know of an alternate place to get it? | 20:27 |
| WIGGMPk | Scunizi: i like my theme.. have you tried installing the hi contrast package to see if it will fix? | 20:27 |
| Scunizi | WIGGMPk: nope.. | 20:27 |
| carpii | if i install a source package via apt-get, whats the correct way to remove it? just delete the dir ? | 20:27 |
| jrib | carpii: huh? explain exactly what you mean with commands | 20:28 |
| carpii | like i did "sudo apt-get source kmail" | 20:28 |
| carpii | which retrieved a tarball | 20:28 |
| jrib | carpii: nothing else? | 20:28 |
| Grok4242 | "sudo aptitude install ntp" ==> 404 | 20:28 |
| carpii | well i did some compilation, but that was just to /usr/local and i did a make distclean | 20:28 |
| nkohh | hello, has anyone experienced the sound levels jumping on modification in 8.10? (everytime I hit the volume up or down button on keyboard or change it from the panel applet it can jump all over... from top to middle to bottom to mute.. it's very random) | 20:28 |
| carpii | so i think thats all removed | 20:28 |
| Grok4242 | Tried to install it first under date/time tool | 20:28 |
| wolter | hi | 20:28 |
| spass | carpii: apt-get remove ? | 20:29 |
| wolter | how come i have 4gb ram, and 77% are in use with only xchat and gnome do running???? | 20:29 |
| jrib | carpii: you ran « make install » at some point to install to /usr/local/? | 20:29 |
| carpii | yes jrib, but then make distclean afterwards to remove it | 20:29 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: Filesystem cacheing. | 20:29 |
| bat1 | HELLO PEOPLE!!! | 20:29 |
| DIL | shh | 20:29 |
| wolter | Grok4242, but 77% in use, not in cache | 20:29 |
| sether | WIGGMPk, try View -> Toolbars -> Customize. in the Customize window, go to the Toolbars tab and select the Toolbar drop-down menu, then select either "Icons only" or "Icons and text" | 20:29 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: If you need the RAM for applications it will be switched from caching the filesystem to your app. | 20:29 |
| bat1 | My name is Borya | 20:29 |
| carpii | spass i cant apt-get remove since it will remove my kmail packages, rather than the source tarball | 20:29 |

| WIGGMPk | sether: i have tried that before but it didnt work.. however removing these package sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-gtk openoffice.org-gnome worked, but I cant use my theme (which didnt mix well either) | 20:31 |
| nkohh | shared and buffers? | 20:31 |
| jrib | carpii: make distclean doesn't remove the stuff you installed to /usr/local/. You're not really doing this properly. If you use apt-get source, then you usually make modifications and then rebuild the deb package and install that. You've circumvented apt by using « make install », so it doesn't know anything about what you have in /usr/local/. It's still there. You'll have to remove it yourself | 20:31 |
| WIGGMPk | sether: thanks though | 20:31 |

| Grok4242 | wolter: Yeah, that's out of control for sure. | 20:32 |
| carpii | jrib, but makedistclean removes the binary files the compilation created, no? | 20:32 |
| carpii | i cant see anything in /usr/local (it was kmail i was compiling) | 20:32 |
| carpii | /usr/local/bin | 20:32 |
| Johnny5 | How can I tell if I've lost everything on my computer or if my partitions still exist? | 20:32 |
| Grok4242 | So anyone know where I can find a safe mirror to get the ntp package from since the master seems to have walked off? | 20:32 |
| carpii | johnny5, boot from livecd and try to mount the partitions? | 20:33 |
| jrib | carpii: carpii I suppose it depends on the makefile, but usually it does not. If there's nothing in /usr/local/ and there used to be, then I guess you are fine | 20:33 |
| Johnny5 | How do I mount them? | 20:33 |
| spass | Johnny5: fdisk -l | 20:33 |
| carpii | ok thanks jrib. so im ok to just delete the source tarball which apt downloaded. rather than doing apt-get source remove or something | 20:33 |
| Grok4242 | Johnny5: Or if you're running in GUI mode from the "places" menu | 20:33 |
| jrib | carpii: yes | 20:33 |
| carpii | great, thanks | 20:33 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: So how's the memory? | 20:34 |
| xoox | How do I get prevu to use my gpg key? | 20:34 |
| WIGGMPk | sether: Scunizi: installing openoffice.org-style-hicontrast package brings back the icons but they look really really ugly (and im still able to use my dark gtk theme) | 20:34 |
| edoceo | how does dpkg determine my architecture? | 20:34 |

| Grok4242 | DSSA: Not with Ubuntu but with VNC in general I am very experienced | 20:37 |
| robf | when I go to restricted drivers, it says "none found" normally it'd not say this (I ran the ati restricted drivers and it broke x, so I removed fglrx* and ati/radeon xserver-xorg-video drivers | 20:38 |

| Tobias2200 | hello. so i finally burned a working ubuntu cd :) now i'm stuck at connecting to my wlan access point. i use a usb wlan adapter from netgear. how can i configure it? | 20:39 |
| Grok4242 | DSSA: When you startup the server it tells you the port offset. Typically the port is 5901 if you're only running one server | 20:39 |
| robf | deany: the issue is that it simply isn't showing anything IN the restricted drivers app now | 20:39 |
| deany | still, i`d use that myself... I do. | 20:39 |
| robf | deany: I wondered why it wouldn o longer show the ati drivers (even though I'm not going to use them) | 20:39 |
| deany | ok | 20:39 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: Yeah...I can't add any files to my library via either SSH mount or SMB mount. | 20:39 |
| Johnny5 | I should have four partitions. That looks like it's seeing four things, but I don't know how to get them back working. | 20:39 |
| Renfield | Is the minimal CD installation method supposed to be an officially supported method of installation? | 20:39 |
| MoTec | edoceo: or a cat /etc/lsb-release | 20:39 |
| deany | maybe need to do an update or upgrade? | 20:40 |
| DSSA | Yeah, I'm using this as my only server. Just setting this up as a glorified file server for three other (XP) computers | 20:40 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: Works VERY well with NFS but "Places" doesn't support NFS....probably because it isn't installed. | 20:40 |
| === marcos_ is now known as w525aa | ||
| DIL | sry cat /etc/*-release | 20:40 |
| stefg | DSSA: as a general rule a server should have a fixed ip anyway. if you're going to connect fro behind a router you need to set up port forwarding anyway, that'll be dfficult with a moving IP issud by a dhcp server | 20:40 |
| deany | wifi driver for my laptop doesnt appear unitl i do an upgrade.... which is a minus point for ubuntu | 20:40 |
| DSSA | Trying to make it headless, but have to figure out the info for REALVNC | 20:40 |
| edoceo | MoTec: dapper! thx! | 20:40 |
| robf | deany: thing is I upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04, ati restricted drivers broke X, so I purged fglrx* / xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon did removing these packages cause the items to disapear from the restricted driver applet | 20:41 |
| robf | need I simply remerge them? | 20:41 |
| robf | er re apt-get them? | 20:41 |
| stefg | DSSA: just type ifconfig in a terminal and see what IP you got | 20:41 |
| MoTec | DSSA: look into webmin, also. gives you a nice web interface to admin the machine | 20:41 |
| xoox | k | 20:41 |
| cln | you guys know why audio ATI IXP SB4x0 does not work properly on linux? | 20:41 |
| Renfield | Heh, sounds like Gentoo in here. | 20:41 |
| Grok4242 | DSSA: There are a lot of potential issues. I would first try to ping the server from the client to make sure you can even see it on the network "ping <server IP address>" where <server IP address> you got from running /sbin/ifconfig on the VNC server box | 20:41 |
| deany | I try and stay away from upgrading... | 20:41 |
| MoTec | i use the stressfree theme with webmin.. very nice stuff | 20:41 |

| ubottu | MoTec: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 20:42 |
| [TiZ] | Hi, I found a weird bug, and the reason my notifications weren't working. If I fullscreen an application using --full-screen or compiz's window rules, then notifications won't appear. Does anyone know anything about this? And where would you advise I file this bug? | 20:42 |
| wolter | Grok4242, well, I just keep a symlink to a ntfs partition with my music | 20:42 |
| Tobias2200 | aw. the AP's are listed, but i can not connect :O anyone? :) | 20:42 |
| wolter | works awesome | 20:42 |
| deany | robf, sometimes, fixin it is more trouble than reinstalling :) | 20:42 |
| MoTec | stefg: thanks for that info! | 20:42 |
| wolter | Grok4242, you mean nfs like, net filesystem? | 20:42 |
| DSSA | when I run that command it comes up with a lot of different addresses. How can a noob tell which is the one I need? | 20:42 |
| Grok4242 | DSSA: Then try telneting into the VNC server with "telenet <server IP Address>:5901" or if on windows "telnet <server IP Address> 5901" | 20:42 |
| Luuux | guys i need help to install libssl, some guide pls? | 20:42 |
| rlameiro | !ebox | 20:42 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 20:42 |
| Luuux | guys i need help to install libssl, some guide pls? | 20:42 |
| wolter | Grok4242, does rythmbox organize the songs in directories, like banshee and itunes do? | 20:42 |
| porkpie | guys can anyone point me to a dapper sources.list please | 20:42 |
| deany | i tried an upgrade once, it wasnt worth the bother it caused me. | 20:43 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: Yep. I have an NFS server with 500GB of music and movies that everyone in my house uses. | 20:43 |
| Johnny5 | Can anyone tell if that output means my partitions are still alive, and how to get them accessable again? | 20:43 |
| wolter | Grok4242, well, thats pretty nice lol | 20:43 |
| stefg | !sources | porkpie | 20:43 |
| ubottu | porkpie: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 20:43 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: NFS is awsome because if my kid "accidently" turns the server off nothing blows up. Just restart it and the music starts again in 50 seconds. | 20:43 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: Sorta like musical charis. | 20:44 |
| wolter | yeah | 20:44 |
| MoTec | ebox doesn't look as shiney as stressfree webmin... but I guess proper operation counts for something :) | 20:44 |
| wolter | Grok4242, your house looks like a technological one haha | 20:44 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: It does it by artist: album | 20:44 |
| wolter | Grok4242, I am experiencing short stalls with rythmbox... | 20:44 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: Never had that problem and my box IS VERY underpowered. | 20:45 |
| Grok4242 | wolder: AMD 4 years old running off a USB key | 20:45 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: Who is a technologist now? | 20:45 |
| Tobias2200 | anyone familiar with wireless networking under ubuntu? | 20:45 |
| wolter | !tab | Grok4242 | 20:46 |
| ubottu | Grok4242: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 20:46 |
| wolter | Grok4242, haha, well I guess me | 20:46 |
| wolter | Grok4242, how do i get rythmbox to organize my files | 20:46 |
| wolter | ? | 20:46 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: Thanks...I don't hit IRC very much and didn't know that | 20:46 |
| fdr | I am trying to set up a transparent proxy. Did this: sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 but it doesn't seem to be working.... any suggestions please? Thanks! | 20:47 |
| MoTec | Mmm.. IRSSI :) | 20:47 |
| Grok4242 | I'm just hanging out until either the NTP package is put back on the Ubuntu servers or I find an alternate link. | 20:47 |
| fdr | (looks like the routing rule is not added...) | 20:47 |
| Brando753 | hey how do you share files betwen computers in ubuntu | 20:48 |
| wolter | Grok4242, so, how do i? | 20:48 |
| Brando753 | ? | 20:48 |
| mikeyyy | hey guys.. need some help. I want to play alien arena online but i can't coz im behind proxy. U have any idea how to solve this.. | 20:48 |
| Grok4242 | Brando753: SSH | 20:48 |
| Brando753 | SSH? | 20:49 |
| Brando753 | !ssh | 20:49 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 20:49 |
| aboSamoor1 | can anyone help me with compiling libfprint ? I got the following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/115687/ | 20:49 |
| Grok4242 | Brando753: Go to places and choose "Connect to a Server" | 20:49 |
| shwan | Brando753: Samba can do it , Nautilus can do it aswell by configuring samba for you! | 20:49 |
| faessje | Hi | 20:49 |
| Grok4242 | Brando753: Then choose SSH and put in the IP address of the other computer | 20:49 |
| spass | Brando753: ssh, samba, nfs, ftp... choose what you like | 20:49 |
| Grok4242 | shwan: That is true but complex compared to the SSH option | 20:50 |
| Brando753 | also how do i find the ip addres on ubuntu, i KNow how to in windows but not ubuntu :P | 20:50 |
| Grok4242 | shwan: Or does ubuntu not run ssh server by default? I haven't run it very long but I can't imagine a Linux box without ssh server | 20:50 |
| Johnny5 | Anyone? carpii, spass? | 20:50 |
| spass | Brando753: ifconfig | 20:51 |
| Grok4242 | Brando753: I'm sure there is an easier way but I always start a term and use "/sbin/ipconfig" | 20:51 |
| carpii | hm Johnny? | 20:51 |
| shwan | Grok4242: I think there is no ssh by default , not sure | 20:51 |
| MoTec | Brando753: ifconfig | 20:51 |
| wolter | Grok4242, but nah, back to banshee... rythmbox is also using 67mb... | 20:51 |
| Johnny5 | Did that output from fdisk tell you anything? | 20:51 |
| wolter | Grok4242, i really recommend it to you | 20:51 |
| Grok4242 | shawn: I think you might be correct. Or the firewall is blocking localhost | 20:51 |
| carpii | i dont know, i didnt see it, sorry | 20:51 |
| Brando753 | why ifconfig ? so confusing windows is IPconfig | 20:51 |
| carpii | try putting all your details on one line, the chan moves pretty quickly | 20:51 |
| carpii | or nopaste it | 20:52 |
| Johnny5 | Okay, here carpii: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d23ee9947 | 20:52 |
| MoTec | Brando753: because that's the way it is.. it shows InterFace information | 20:52 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: I will try it....maybe it can work with ssh mounts | 20:52 |
| pronoy | anyone ? | 20:52 |
| wolter | Grok4242, well, do you have your disk mounted? | 20:52 |
| carpii | Johnny, to me that looks corrupt im afraid | 20:52 |
| carpii | sda2 starts on a cylinder which is < sda1 end | 20:52 |
| wolter | Grok4242, you might as well want to download gnome-do, its awesome. Its way better than any mac or awn dock | 20:52 |
| Johnny5 | Anything I can do? | 20:52 |
| rlameiro | Brando753: if config comes before the windows one! | 20:53 |
| rlameiro | windows is confusing | 20:53 |
| carpii | hrm, maybe some specialised recovery tools, but id say the chances arent great | 20:53 |
| Grok4242 | Brando753: ifconfig is for interface config and does a lot more than the ipconfig command. I agree it should by symlinked though. I accidently type the wrong one all the time no matter which OS I'm on. | 20:53 |
| Johnny5 | Darnit | 20:53 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: I did that today. | 20:53 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: Haven't used it much yet. | 20:53 |
| spass | Johnny5: try 'testdisk'. Maybie it will help. It requres knowledge tho... | 20:54 |
| wolter | Grok4242, really? do you like it? | 20:54 |
| * Johnny5 has no knowledge | 20:54 | |
| DIL | it was ariad | 20:54 |
| Brando753 | so i did the ssh link and got "ssh program unexpectedly exited" :( | 20:54 |
| pronoy | hello ? anyone ? | 20:54 |
| DIL | a raid | 20:54 |
| spass | Johnny5: then you're doomed... | 20:54 |
| shwan | Grok4242: I checked it out now , you need to install openssh-server in order to get ssh in to the box , the client is standard by the way | 20:55 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: Too soon to tell. I keep forgetting to use it | 20:55 |
| Renfield | pronoy: Get in line. | 20:55 |
| pronoy | i am in line :) | 20:55 |
| Renfield | The line is long. | 20:55 |
| wolter | Grok4242, oh | 20:55 |
| pronoy | Renfield :) yeah i sorta just realized | 20:55 |
| Grok4242 | shawn: Then I switch to your idea of setting up samba if he wants to use it long term | 20:55 |
| nickrud | the line starts with whoever writes the clearest question that someone knows the answer to | 20:55 |
| Brando753 | :d | 20:56 |
| _VIM_ | lol | 20:56 |
| Johnny5 | spass, testdisk in a terminal says "testdisk: error while loading shared libraries: libntfs.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" | 20:56 |
| Brando753 | help, when i did the ssh link and got "ssh program unexpectedly exited" :( | 20:56 |
| [biabia] | i installed startip-manager, changed a few settings and saved them, but the window has been running for 2 hours in "performing post configuration tasks". Is it safe to close this window | 20:56 |
| spass | Brando753: better install ftp server to share files | 20:57 |
| [biabia] | err startup-manager | 20:57 |
| pronoy | taking a cue from nickrud .....i have installed ubuntu in windows and i am not able to access the rest of the drive in which i have installed it..how do i access the content ? | 20:57 |
| Grok4242 | Brando753: Did you see my conversation with shwan? | 20:57 |
| Brando753 | well how do i use samba? | 20:57 |
| WebcamWonder | pronoy: wubi? | 20:57 |
| shwan | Brando753: which version of ubuntu do you run ? | 20:57 |
| spass | Brando753: way easier than ssh for a newbie | 20:57 |
| WebcamWonder | pronoy: You want to access Windows drive from your Ubuntu install? | 20:57 |
| Grok4242 | Brando753: You either need to go to Applications->Add Remove Applications and install ssh-server first or look into the samba share route. | 20:57 |
| Brando753 | i just want a nice drop folder | 20:57 |
| owner | anyone use gufw firewall? | 20:57 |
| Brando753 | i have ubuntu 8.10 | 20:57 |
| darius_ | best command to have a live stream start on startup in ubuntu? | 20:58 |
| pronoy | WebcamWonder: yes....the same drive in which ubuntu is installed in | 20:58 |
| Safe | Stupid ubuntu, the internet still won't work. /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf all look as they should, still nothing. | 20:58 |
| chuckc | is there a way to know what drive belongs to which physical sata port; ie /dev/sdb -> sata port 1 ? | 20:58 |
| WebcamWonder | pronoy: It should be mounted on /host/ | 20:58 |
| [biabia] | chuckc: mount | 20:58 |
| shwan | Brando753: then all you need is just right click on the folder you want to share and choose share and ... then from the other pc choose network from places menu | 20:58 |
| pronoy | WebcaWonder: why doesn't it show on the side....like why doesn't it show like the rest of the drives | 20:58 |
| Renfield | Safe: I've got a similar problem. I can't get the minimal CD to give me a reliable enough connection for to actually complete the install. | 20:58 |
| wolter | why do you people ssh mount things? | 20:59 |
| pronoy | WebcamWonder: why doesn't it show on the side....like why doesn't it show like the rest of the drives | 20:59 |
| wolter | god.. | 20:59 |
| owner | what's the best (user-friendly) firewall in ubuntu? | 20:59 |
| Brando753 | i know that but my computer wont show up under network >"( | 20:59 |
| slyyf | Ok, I am getting very ticked now...Ever since a kernel upgrade a month or so ago scd0 (My DVD/CD drive) is missing..and I cant fix it..I need answers and I want them now | 20:59 |
| WebcamWonder | pronoy: Oh, that is b/c of the way Wubi does the mounting. The host drive is mounted, and then the ext3 parittion is mounted off the host drive | 20:59 |
| Safe | Renfield, you | 20:59 |
| phyburn | it seems when I updated to kernel 2.6.27-11 it broke my NIC is there any big security flaws with 2.6.27-7? | 20:59 |
| Safe | Renfield, you're trying to configure via the network-manager right? Seems to be a bug there. | 20:59 |
| chuckc | bibia: i don't have the drives mounted, not partitioned yet. I have 3 of the same drive, but can't tell which one is failing | 21:00 |
| mads- | HI - I'm trying to install glew. When I try doing "sudo make" it says "/bin/sh: config/config.guess: not found" - what is wrong? | 21:00 |
| pronoy | WebcamWonder: so the drive in which i have installed ubuntu is taken off the /host/ | 21:00 |
| pronoy | ?? | 21:00 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: Because SSH server comes default with all other versions of Linux. Trying to install and configure samba is a pain on say Fedora10 compared to just using the existing ssh server. It all works the same once you're connected. | 21:00 |
| Renfield | Safe: No, there's no network-manager that I know of. Well unless it is part of the minimal install. This is all text and no GUI. | 21:00 |
| Brando753 | Is there a reason the network folder is so flaky? | 21:00 |
| Brando753 | sometimes my laptop appers sometimes it dosent | 21:00 |
| WebcamWonder | pronoy: Yeah. On system startup, one of the first things that is done is, mount your NTFS drive on /host. Then your entire / is mounted from /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk, so basically, /host is guarunteed to be there and mounted all the time your ubuntu is running | 21:01 |
| Safe | Renfield, oh. I've been trying all day to get this to work, can't understand what the problem would be. | 21:01 |
| darius_ | anyone know how to have a url start @ startup? | 21:01 |
| Mood | How can i auto connect to my wifi? I'm using ubuntu 8.10 | 21:01 |
| Renfield | Yea, me neither. | 21:01 |
| Tisch | #eurocop | 21:01 |
| eut | Safe, Renfield, what is your problem? | 21:01 |
| shwan | then just use connect to server and use the IP adress , prot. SMB ...so on you need maybe can just point nautilius to this path smb://your-server-ipread or readf https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 21:01 |

| pronoy | WebcamWonder: can i do it using a gui like ntfsconf or something | 21:02 |
| shwan | Safe: DO you have Network Manager installed ? | 21:02 |
| WebcamWonder | pronoy: What do you want to do? | 21:02 |
| Safe | eut, well, internet just wont start? I've configured everything as it should be. (according to the examples I've googled.) | 21:02 |

| === clinton is now known as Blended | ||
| eut | hmm... | 21:02 |
| Blended | i've got a question anyone willing to help? | 21:02 |
| pronoy | WebcamWonder: to mount it automatically on startup | 21:02 |
| Flannel | !anyone | Blended | 21:03 |
| ubottu | Blended: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 21:03 |
| Renfield | eut: It took three tries to get through the "install base system" portion. | 21:03 |
| WebcamWonder | pronoy: It is automatically done. If that wasn't done, your ubuntu couldn't have even gone to the loading screen :) | 21:03 |
| wolter | Grok4242, well, seems nice :p | 21:03 |
| wolter | Grok4242, I think I'd better try it. Samba is not as good as one hopes | 21:03 |
| pronoy | WebcamWonder: ok so then i'll have to remount it on /host/ | 21:03 |
| Blended | Can anyone tell me how to enable the 3d cube desktop effect... i've tried all of the tutorials for it and none of them work | 21:03 |
| Renfield | eut: Then it completely, and repeatedly failed on installing the packages. | 21:03 |
| WebcamWonder | pronoy: Wubi sets up all this mounting thing automatically.. You don't need to remount anything. Just goto nautilus and browse to /host, it should be there | 21:03 |
| Brando753 | hey how come my network folder only shows some computers some of the time then other computers other times when there all on? | 21:04 |
| Safe | eut, it's a little tricky for me since I dual-boot, makes it kinda hard to troubleshoot. | 21:04 |
| Safe | I can ping myself however. | 21:04 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: SSH is the soul of Linux | 21:04 |
| Grok4242 | wolter: Or maybe the cardio system at least. | 21:04 |
| Antioch | I'm trying to add a new set of smiley themes to Pidgin. Ive both dragged the tar.gz file into the smiley themes window, as well as pressing the add button and giving it the file-name. Neither method works. I've tried this for many different smiley themes and always the same result. How can I add new smiley themes to Pidgin? | 21:04 |
| [biabia] | chuckc if you dont have them partitioned or mounted what makes you think one of them is failing | 21:04 |
| wolter | Grok4242, hah | 21:04 |
| Antioch | Thank you! | 21:04 |
| Blended | Can anyone tell me how to enable the 3d cube desktop effect... i've tried all of the tutorials for it and none of them work | 21:04 |
| eut | Renfield, i dont think i can help much. but have you done a disk check to make sure the install disk is not corrupt? other than that i dont know :/ | 21:04 |
| Renfield | eut: I've started over again, and now it is in "loading additional components". It is going very slowly. | 21:04 |
| eut | Safe, have you tried "sudo dhclient3"? | 21:04 |
| === Bruce is now known as Brucee | ||

| eut | Renfield, i noticed this past week that some repos were going very slowly.. may that could have something to do with it | 21:05 |
| Grok4242 | Blended: What brand video card do you have? Nvidia, ATI, Intel, etc? | 21:05 |
| Renfield | eut: I did not. This is a minimal CD. Is there a way for me to get the MD5 sum for this? I could not find it. | 21:05 |
| Blended | well had an onboard nvidia but installed an ati radeaon | 21:05 |
| Antioch | WebcamWonder, Ill give it a shot, thanks. | 21:05 |
| Blended | radeon* | 21:05 |
| Renfield | eut: Oh? Slow enough to time out? | 21:06 |
| shwan | Brando753: you maybe need to read the samba howto and check nmbd is up and runnig fine | 21:06 |
| eut | Renfield, probably not that slow | 21:06 |
| ktron | I'm trying to remap USB gamepad keys to keyboard keys-- any ideas for what app I should be looking for? | 21:06 |

| robbe- | Hello, I have a problem compiling gcc in my homedir (and installing in my homedir) on ubuntu. I use a shell script to autmate the task (it first builds binutils, then gcc, then newlib). This works on my debian and gentoo installs, but not on ubuntu. For I don't know what reason, on ubuntu, a write to /var/backups/ is attempted | 21:09 |
| tritium | [biabia], Kryzler: sudo -i, rather | 21:09 |
| robbe- | help ? :-) | 21:09 |
| Grok4242 | etech: If Ubuntu hasn't provided an upgrade I don't know why. | 21:09 |
| eut | Safe, have you tried manually editing /etc/network/interfaces? | 21:09 |
| benjamin_ | i keep going through a Debootstrap warning | 21:09 |
| Safe | eut, yup, that's the only way I've done it. | 21:09 |
| Brando753 | why does my laptop show nothing under network but my net book shows everything? | 21:09 |
| etech | in intrepid is still firefox 3.0.5 | 21:09 |
| eut | Safe, paste your interfaces | 21:09 |
| chrismurf | I put together an Ubuntu package for a library that's not in Ubuntu at the moment -- what's the "right place" to store the /debian/ folder, and how do I start the process of getting it into Universe / elsewhere? | 21:09 |

| Grok4242 | benjamin_: Are you trying to install actual 64bit version of Ubuntu or just the normal version on a 64bit processor? | 21:09 |
| meoblast001 | crap wont work | 21:09 |
| Safe | eut, in a moment. | 21:09 |
| [biabia] | well sudo -i is root with root environment, sudo -s is root with current user environment | 21:09 |
| nickrud | etech, the way ubuntu picks up security fixes is by backporting the fixes to the ff that's provided; the release number doesn't change. you can look at the changelogs in /usr/share/doc/firefox/ | 21:09 |

| shwan | Brando753: How should we know, I think broadcasting a HostName on the network can take some time , reboot all other pcs while the one sharing to other is on | 21:10 |
| Grok4242 | benjamin_: If at all possible I would recommend the 32bit version. | 21:10 |
| etech | nickrud, but there weren't firefox upgrades since 3.0.6 was released | 21:10 |
| Grok4242 | benjamin_: Are you planning on giving the virtual machine more than 4GB of memory? | 21:11 |
| shwan | Brando753: do all pcs have ubuntu installed ? | 21:11 |
| slyyf | Can somebody please explain to me why suddenly scd0 dissapeared? PLEASE! | 21:11 |
| Grok4242 | benjamin_: Even if you do are you planning on running a single process that needs more than 2GB of memory? | 21:11 |
| === bruenig is now known as steiger_ | ||
| tritium | slyyf: I stole it | 21:11 |
| ortsvorsteher | !details | slyyf | 21:11 |
| ubottu | slyyf: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:11 |
| nickrud | etech, and I have to backtrack on that, the numbers have been following the security releases for firefox | 21:11 |
| tritium | slyyf: without giving any additional details, how on earth do you expect someone to answer your question? | 21:12 |
| slyyf | ortsvorsteher: about a month or so ago I updated my kernel, ever since then dvd playback has not worked..today I decided to look into it..and the device itself (scd0) is gone..completly..and dmesg says nothing about a dvd drive. | 21:12 |
| |Z_E_R_O| | ola | 21:12 |
| Renfield | eut: Thanks, but that is not the md5sum that I have. | 21:12 |
| nkei0 | Okay, so I reinstalled 8.10 again and this time my wireless isn't working. I'm attempting to use the acerhk (acer hotkeys) dealio... I've tried using the tarball from the authors website but I keep managing to get errors, I've now downloaded the source from synaptic, what do I do from there? | 21:12 |
| Safe | eut, http://pastebin.com/m576ec9e | 21:12 |
| benjamin_ | Grok4242: Ill download it now, but what do I do about this version that won't work | 21:12 |
| alaz | Anyone know how to disable the networkmanager? I dont need it as Im more comfortale with /etc/network/interfaces :) | 21:13 |
| spass | slyyf: does it appears in bios ? | 21:13 |
| spass | *appear | 21:13 |
| slyyf | spass: yup, and works in windows | 21:13 |
| benjamin_ | Grok4242: Sorry I got kicked off. Did you respond? | 21:13 |
| |Z_E_R_O| | i need to set fn buttons of my new keyboard, i tried with keytouch-editor but it doesn't want to work, can u help me? | 21:13 |
| Renfield | eut: I believe I downloaded the amd64 version. I think it is odd that the Ubuntu web page strongly suggests that you verify the md5sum, and then doesn't publish it! | 21:13 |
| Grok4242 | benjamin_: Didn't VirtualBox just add 64bit support? Are you running that version? | 21:13 |
| MaxRide | Quick question: How would you access an Ubuntu system as root if the one and only user logon is locked? | 21:13 |
| eut | Renfield, yes, very strange indeed... | 21:13 |
| timinator59 | Hello all, I am a brand new ubuntu user and everything seems to have installed properly (ver 8.10) my only problem is when I go to get updates it is extraordinarily slow 1-10 kbs. from my other machines I can get 200-800 kbs. Is there anything I can do to get to a faster update site or anything? | 21:13 |
| Safe | eut, did you get that? http://pastebin.com/m576ec9e | 21:13 |
| sether | alaz, i uninstalled it by using synaptic | 21:13 |
| ortsvorsteher | MaxRide: try failsafe session | 21:13 |
| Safe | Stupid internet connection. | 21:13 |
| shwan | nkei0: there is allways howtos on the ubuntu wiki and google have you done searching for same problem ? | 21:14 |
| MaxRide | ortsvorsteher: Thanks! | 21:14 |
| benjamin_ | Grok4242:yes I believe I am | 21:14 |
| eut | Renfield, try asking in #ubuntu-dev, maybe someone there will be able to help with the verification of your image | 21:14 |
| ortsvorsteher | you are welcome | 21:14 |
| Renfield | eut: Ok. | 21:14 |
| eut | Safe, yes | 21:14 |
| alaz | sether, im bonking my head allready :D. didnt think of such a easy way... | 21:14 |
| nkei0 | shwan: Yeah, I'm looking through them now, I'm still a pretty large n00b and a bunch of the howto's aren't geared for my n00bness | 21:14 |
| shwan | Safe: do you mean the problem is not Ubuntu but you connection! or ? | 21:14 |
| Grok4242 | benjamin_: I'd double check that. If so I have not idea. I just know the 32bit will work MUCH better in a lot of respects. Linux is better than Windows with 64bit but the world is just not ready. | 21:15 |
| Safe | shwan, no, I meant just now that IRC lagged. ;) | 21:15 |
| sether | alaz, tell me if it works. there might be some dependency issues | 21:15 |
| Renfield | Ha! same problem. Fails downloading base-packages. | 21:15 |
| shwan | Safe: well why did you remove networkmanager ? | 21:15 |
| benjamin_ | Grok4242:I think i have a copy of ubuntu server 32 thanks | 21:15 |
| eut | Safe, looks right to me. can you ping your nameserer? 212.217.248.3? | 21:16 |
| Safe | shwan, because it would reset my netmask to 25 nomatter what I did. | 21:16 |
| MaxRide | ortsvorsteher: Worked great! Got back into the system. | 21:16 |
| nickrud | etech, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/326077 | 21:16 |
| Grok4242 | benjamin_: It will use less memory too since 32bit code is smaller than 64bit | 21:16 |
| benjamin_ | Grok4242:should I enable passthrough? | 21:16 |
| ortsvorsteher | MaxRide: good to read :) | 21:16 |
| Safe | eut, no, can't ping anything except myself. It doesn't say "no such host" any longer though, so a little progress. | 21:16 |
| Grok4242 | benjamin_: I always do. Makes it easier to try everything out. | 21:16 |
| benjamin_ | Grok4242:I think my 8GB can handle it. hahaha | 21:16 |
| Safe | (had this trouble all day) | 21:16 |
| eut | Safe, what about your router? | 21:17 |
| eut | Safe, or the gateway | 21:17 |
| Safe | eut, don't have a router or gateway, it's wired directly to the wall. | 21:17 |
| yeniklasorr | I'm using synergy. I can not change screen with mouse movement from server pc to client pc. But I can change screen client to server. Do you know the problem? | 21:17 |
| nkei0 | oh holy crap, my led just isn't working, haha apparently my wireless was on | 21:18 |
| eut | Safe, ahh... in that case i would say try to run dhclient3 and see if you can get a dynamic ip at least | 21:18 |
| nkei0 | brb | 21:18 |
| Grok4242 | Lets see if I'm built up enough Karma: Anyone know an alternate source for the ntp package? I get a 404 when trying to install from the time control panel or from the command line. Doesn't show in Add Programs at all | 21:18 |
| ortsvorsteher | !language | nkei0 | 21:18 |
| ubottu | nkei0: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 21:18 |
| Safe | eut, it won't work with a dynamic IP. :D The ISP give us our IP and we punch it in, then it works. (as it does in windows) | 21:18 |
| etech | nickrud, ok, but i really do not understand why it must be tested so long...on windows i click check for updates in firefox and it installs 3.0.6 and it works | 21:18 |
| prahal_ | hi how do I set the swap partition on intrepid (am I supposed to install s2ram/s2disk or should I add a parameter to grub for the kernel or ... else ? | 21:19 |
| benjamin_ | Grok4242: So far so good. Thanks for your help! | 21:19 |
| Grok4242 | etech: Fedora does the same....takes a while compared to the upstream FF releases | 21:19 |
| Mood | Anyone know how to auto connect to wifi if a connection drops? I have to connect manually in the dialog that pops up. I already have "Connect Automatically" checked off. | 21:20 |
| alaz | sether, worked nicely. | 21:20 |
| Mood | I have a desktop, Ubuntu 8.10 | 21:20 |
| Grok4242 | etchy: You can always install the newer version of FF directly from Mozilla. It's a little quirky but not much | 21:20 |
| sether | =) | 21:20 |
| welly | hey all. I'm just about to install ubuntu 8.10 server on my VPS. I'm thinking about installing webmin with it. Anyone use webmin? Any pros/cons? | 21:20 |
| Safe | eut, I've reinstalled ubuntu to a fresh install just to be sure, and I configured it manually, but still won't work. Should I try with a 32bit version maybe? | 21:20 |
| |Z_E_R_O| | nobody can hgelp me with keytouch? | 21:20 |
| guntbert | !webmin | welly | 21:21 |
| ubottu | welly: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 21:21 |
| shwan | Safe: an advise Read many howtos you dont need to follow them , but you will learn alot then you can choose one that fits you problem , check this out too | 21:21 |
| prahal_ | welly, not an expert but webmin has been out of debian/ubuntu for long . | 21:21 |
| welly | ok thanks :) | 21:21 |
| welly | is there anything alternative? | 21:21 |
| Safe | shwan, I have, I've followed a tutorial and examples on each file. | 21:21 |
| Redhammer_the_Ol | hi I have a problem with gnome, it has gone totally unstable on me, the fail safe and my normal mode both just go haywire all of sudden, all panels frozen, alt+f2 does nothing, only thing i can do is ctrl+alt+backspace and go into kde | 21:21 |
| benjamin_ | Does anyone know if you can tell Ubuntu Server to use a particular drive not in the partition. Like a external harddrive | 21:21 |
| Sylphid | !ebox | welly | 21:21 |
| ubottu | welly: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 21:21 |
| shwan | Safe: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html | 21:21 |
| welly | I've been admin-ing my server from the bash for some time, which I'm fine with but meh.. if i can make my life easier | 21:22 |
| welly | cheers Sylphid | 21:22 |
| eut | Safe, are you sure network manager and network manager dispatcher are not running? ps aux | grep -i network | 21:22 |
| robbe- | Hi, I have a problem compiling (and installing, both in home dir) gcc as unprivileged user on ubuntu (current release, freshly updated). I use a shell script to autmate the task (it first builds binutils, then gcc, then newlib). This works on my debian and gentoo installs, but not on ubuntu. For I don't know what reason, on ubuntu, a write to /var/backups/ is attempted, and those files are writable for root only. On the other distro's the directory isn't e | 21:22 |
| benjamin_ | Grok4242: That didn't work | 21:22 |
| guntbert | welly: it helps to read the complete statement from ubottu :) | 21:22 |
| Safe | eut, what if they are? | 21:22 |
| Grok4242 | benjamin_: Where did it stop this time? | 21:22 |
| benjamin_ | same place | 21:23 |
| sheena1 | my firefox keeps covering over my task bars. I'm running Intrepid. I've tried the fix I found on the ubuntu forum, changing my localstore file, and its still happening. help? | 21:23 |
| Safe | Is it mandatory to put in network and broadcast? | 21:23 |
| === Error is now known as Error89 | ||
| danaman5 | hi, whenever I log into Ubuntu for the first time after turning on my computer, gnome-settings-daemon fails to launch, so the interface and everything doesn't have any of the ubuntu enhancements. If I log out and log back in, everything is normal. Any ideas on how to fix this? | 21:23 |
| welly | heh.. i see. can't be installed on 8.10 | 21:23 |
| Grok4242 | benjamin_: I'd try it myself but I'm running on a tin can and a few light bulbs for memory right now so I can't. | 21:23 |
| === obsethryl_ is now known as obsethryl | ||
| eut | Safe, you could try shuting them down, from my experience they tend to screw with things. 'sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/2... stop' | 21:23 |
| shwan | Safe: then it will override you configuration somehow | 21:23 |
| benjamin_ | Grok4242: Thats fine. I could have made a copy of x64 again | 21:24 |
| welly | I wonder if it's worth me installing 8.04 instead then | 21:24 |
| === muellisoft is now known as Muelli | ||
| welly | i'm not running anything clever on my server. just a few php/drupal sites | 21:24 |
| |Z_E_R_O| | danaman5: i think it's a x server problem but i don't know how to fix | 21:24 |
| guntbert | robbe-: you shouldn't need to compile it yourself, there is build-essential | 21:24 |
| Safe | Uhm, it seems I have two networks card on this computer. Maybe the second one is messing it up? How do I disable eth1? | 21:24 |
| benjamin_ | Grok4242: Are you running virtualbox? | 21:24 |
| danaman5 | zero: it's odd that it works if I log out and back in though | 21:24 |
| guntbert | !info build-essential robbe- | 21:25 |

| banisterfiend | hey how do i install a theme for ubuntu? | 21:25 |
| banisterfiend | a new theme* | 21:25 |
| banisterfiend | desktop theme* :) | 21:25 |
| Grok4242 | benjamin_: Drive failure rather. | 21:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | robbe-: Have you tried an strace to determine where the fault lies? | 21:25 |
| shwan | owner: it has but for windows progs you maby have on your pc , not for linux natives | 21:26 |
| benjamin_ | Grok4242: Do you remember what your "General Settings" were? | 21:26 |
| owner | is there a solution? | 21:26 |
| robbe- | IntuitiveNipple: well the fault is that a normal user doesn't have permission in that folder, but I wonder WHY it wants to write something there in the first place | 21:26 |
| Grok4242 | benjamin_: Sorry...been a while since I looked | 21:26 |
| DIL | !clam-av | 21:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about clam-av | 21:27 |
| shwan | owner: what do you need exactly so I can answer you | 21:27 |
| meoblast001 | anyone here have a bluetooth headset? | 21:27 |
| robbe- | IntuitiveNipple: on my other distro's there is no mention of that directory and it all works :-) | 21:27 |
| silentContender | Can anyone help me m4a files on a ipod nano gen 2? | 21:27 |
| benjamin_ | Grok4242: Thats fine... Thanks for your help | 21:27 |
| robbe- | IntuitiveNipple: so I guess my basic question is: why does this build process differ on an ubuntu install | 21:27 |
| sheena1 | on Intrepid, firefox covers taskbars sometimes. . Tried the fix on the ubuntu forum, changing the localstore file, and its still happening. help? | 21:27 |
| owner | well, if there are viruses that can effect windows apps..what's the solution? | 21:27 |
| Chubbz | @SilentContender are the audio files from the itunes store? | 21:27 |
| IntuitiveNipple | robbe-: Is the Ubuntu user that owns the builder a member of the "admin" group? | 21:27 |
| alaz | owner, you dont need it | 21:28 |
| spass | owner: clamav | 21:28 |
| meoblast001 | anyone? | 21:28 |
| Safe | Well, I guess I'll just give up this thing. | 21:28 |
| shwan | sheena1: Compiz setting manager can help you , find workarounds and disable the fist option | 21:28 |
| silentContender | @Chubbz I ripped them off of CDs using Sound Juicer | 21:28 |
| robbe- | IntuitiveNipple: I don't want to write in the folder in the first place | 21:28 |
| IntuitiveNipple | robbe-: Also, if you can figure out the exact file/path that fails from strace, and the error returned, we might be able to figure out why and how to workaround it | 21:28 |
| sheena1 | shawn, where is compiz setting manager? | 21:28 |
| robbe- | IntuitiveNipple: I think we're not 100% talking about the same issue, may I pm you to clarify ? | 21:29 |
| Flannel | !ccsm | sheena1 | 21:29 |
| ubottu | sheena1: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 21:29 |
| Chubbz | @silentContender install the package 'gtkpod' and you should be able to use rhythmbox to transfer your files | 21:29 |
| IntuitiveNipple | robbe-: sure | 21:29 |
| shwan | sheena1: sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager | 21:29 |
| alaz | sheena1, try fusion-icon too :) | 21:30 |
| silentContender | Chubbz, I managed to transfer the m4a files to the Ipod. It recognizes the music, but it just skips them while playing | 21:30 |
| G-Bleezy | Will the memory test just run forever if you let it?? | 21:30 |
| banisterfiend | what is the file extensino for a 'theme package' file in ubuntu? | 21:30 |
| owner | what setting controls mouse sensitivity cause I can barely type anymore and it clicks for me | 21:30 |
| sheena1 | shwan: getting compiz now. what is the next step? | 21:30 |
| shwan | sheena1: yes, fusion-icon is good too | 21:30 |
| sheena1 | alaz, what's that? | 21:30 |
| Chubbz | @silentContender cant help you there, srry | 21:31 |
| silentContender | Thanks, anyways. Can any one else help? | 21:31 |
| phyburn | how can I change the defualt kernel to a older kernel? | 21:31 |
| alaz | sheena1, if you install that i think you get all the deps for compiz fusion to work | 21:31 |
| G-Bleezy | google it | 21:31 |
| shwan | sheena1: preferences-- compizconfig -- workarounds and then in that you can disable legacy fullscreen support | 21:32 |
| silentContender | The only thing I can add is iTunes reads their m4a files as ACC and my m4a as m4a | 21:32 |
| alaz | sheena1, and the icon you when executing fusion-icon lets you configure everything. | 21:32 |
| guntbert | phyburn: you mean in the grub menu? | 21:32 |
| phyburn | yeah I'm sorry | 21:32 |
| [TK]D-Fender | Hello all, light question today : Looking for some links to some good & complete themes to try for Gnome on 8.10. Please share :) | 21:32 |

| Chubbz | @silentContender so your using itunes in wine? | 21:33 |

| G-Bleezy | mattheas i have that same problem...kind of... | 21:34 |
| shwan | sheena1: have you started compizconfig ? | 21:34 |
| sheena1 | shwan, I found the workaround stuff. there's a bunch of check boxes. which ones to i want checked? | 21:34 |
| mattheas | When I force grub to boot to the older kernel it works fine though. | 21:34 |
| exodus_ms | mattheas, you can select to use the previous kernel at the grub menu | 21:34 |
| G-Bleezy | yea same here! | 21:34 |
| owner | what's the best ubuntu app site? | 21:34 |
| mattheas | exodus_ms, I know | 21:34 |
| Tobias2200 | ugh this is driving me mad :S | 21:34 |
| G-Bleezy | mattheas wht does it say? | 21:34 |
| deany | edit menu.lst and set deafult | 21:34 |
| mrwes_ | www.getdeb.com | 21:34 |

| G-Bleezy | for the error | 21:34 |
| mattheas | It works fine | 21:34 |
| exodus_ms | mattheas, you don;t need to remove the new one dude | 21:35 |
| sheena1 | shwan, they are mostly already checked, including one that says "firefox menu fix" and a bunch of other ones | 21:35 |
| Chubbz | @mattheas do you have a graphics card? | 21:35 |

| Chubbz | @G-Bleezy it doesnt stop | 21:36 |
| G-Bleezy | with over 2500 errors | 21:36 |
| deany | G-Bleezy, as long as it completes 1 full pass, thats enough | 21:36 |
| zleap | tiredbones, i have just logged in to 8.04 with a 8.10 cd in the drive, upon login it detected a volume with packafges on and offered to open package manager, perhaps that will work for you | 21:36 |
| G-Bleezy | are the errors really bad??\ | 21:36 |
| shwan | sheena1: YES i tinhk , it did it for me | 21:36 |
| mrwes_ | er..that's getdeb.net | 21:36 |

| G-Bleezy | and theres no way to fix them problem | 21:37 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | dpkg takes too much time in "Reading database...". is there any wya to speed it up? | 21:37 |
| G-Bleezy | probably except get new ram | 21:37 |
| shwan | Kamus_H_Zwisch: no | 21:37 |
| guntbert | G-Bleezy: the memory test doesn't stop until you stop it | 21:37 |
| Chubbz | @G-Bleezy get new ram | 21:37 |
| exodus_ms | gmathews, I don't think amarok 2 is available in the repos yet, you will need to find a source to add to your sources.list or find a download somewhere | 21:37 |
| ian[2] | Anyone have any suggestions? I'm running a fresh install of 8.10 Server and am trying to install subversion.. When I run apt-get install subversion I get "E: Couldn't find package subversion" .. surely this is simple, but I'm lost... | 21:37 |
| tiredbones | zleap, I was hoping not to burn a cd. | 21:37 |
| zleap | ah | 21:37 |
| benjamin_ | gmathews: try this. Didn't get a full chance to read it. but might be some help. http://amarok.kde.org/forum/index.php?topic=15866.0 | 21:37 |
| noogie | whats subversion | 21:37 |
| deany | memory isnt something you can fix | 21:37 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | hm | 21:37 |
| _VIM_ | !latest | gmathews (and this is why...) | 21:37 |
| ubottu | gmathews (and this is why...): Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 21:37 |
| zleap | thought you had a cd | 21:37 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | dammit =/ | 21:37 |
| shwan | ian[2]: try aptitude instead ant use tab | 21:37 |
| silentContender | Why do m4a song ripped off a CD get skipped by my Ipod Nano gen 2? | 21:37 |
| Chubbz | @ian[2] you spelled the name of the package wrong | 21:38 |
| nickrud | !sources | ian[2] | 21:38 |
| ubottu | ian[2]: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 21:38 |
| sheena1 | shwan, it's still doing it. I've figured out that it will reliably happen when i click a link in thunderbird that opens in firefo, then switch to firefox. | 21:38 |
| deany | silentContender, should be mp4? | 21:38 |
| nickrud | ian[2], the last link --- oh, server | 21:38 |
| dayo_ | !svn | noogie | 21:38 |
| ubottu | noogie: svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ | 21:38 |
| deany | silentContender, no idea, dont use ipod | 21:38 |
| Chubbz | @silentContender if you could convert the files to mp3, it'd work | 21:38 |
| nickrud | ian[2], compare your /etc/apt/sources.list to http://aphroneo.net/intrepid-sources.list , you probably have a problem with the lines that have main in them | 21:39 |
| ugliefrog | can someone look at this and tell me what i need to do http://paste.ubuntu.com/115782/ | 21:39 |
| ian[2] | @Chubbz -- I spelled subversion wrong? | 21:39 |
| silentContender | Chubbz, I guess that might be the only way around it. | 21:39 |
| ian[2] | Thanks for the info -- I'll check the links provided and the sources.list mentioned | 21:39 |
| silentContender | Chubbz, Is there a program that can mass convert m4a to mp3? | 21:39 |
| exodus_ms | ugliefrog, what are you trying to install | 21:40 |

Any ideas anyone? | 21:43 |
| jelly12gen | giu: just google it | 21:43 |
| WebcamWonder | tiredbones: Please look at Flannel (ubottu)'s links then | 21:43 |
| mattheas | k, sorry | 21:43 |
| mattheas | gf was calling | 21:43 |
| Flannel | tiredbones: Those instructions are specific to upgrading. Nothing on that page actually mentions upgrading from version to version. | 21:43 |
| mattheas | so did anyone figure it out? | 21:43 |
| Funzo | hi everyone | 21:43 |
| exodus_ms | ugliefrog, dont know if this is the version your looking for --> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=81535 | 21:43 |
| thiebaude | Funzo: hi | 21:44 |
| Funzo | guys, could i have some help about rtorrent and how to config it? | 21:44 |
| Funzo | i have some questions :$ | 21:44 |
| silentContender | IntuitiveNipple, Thanks but I think I'll try soundKonverter. It sound pretty simple. | 21:44 |
| Funzo | hi thiebaude | 21:44 |
| DIL | install gtk2.0 and the other dependecy | 21:44 |
| guntbert | !ask | Funzo | 21:44 |
| ubottu | Funzo: 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. :-) | 21:44 |
| mattheas | I upgraded the kernel and it won't boot. If I use the old kernel it works fine. how do I remove the new kernel or solve the problem | 21:44 |
| ugliefrog | exodus_ms: thats where i got it from | 21:44 |
| jimdog | any zenity hackers in? | 21:44 |
| [T]ank | also... how can I enable ubuntu to use autorun.inf? I get an error saying "cannot find autorun program" | 21:45 |
| guntbert | !ot | jimdog | 21:45 |
| exodus_ms | ugliefrog, what about here --> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/x/xvidcap/ there is a version form december 2008? | 21:45 |
| ugliefrog | exodus_ms: and when i i try to make i get that long message in the paste bin i posted | 21:45 |
| ubottu | jimdog: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:45 |
| WebcamWonder | mattheas: Search for existing bugs on launchpad, and if not found, report as a regression? | 21:45 |
| spass | [T]ank: autorun is a M$ idea | 21:45 |
| Funzo | are there any rules for copy paste? if i have a text? | 21:45 |
| tiredbones | Flannel, look at the section titled, How to keep your system up-to-date, including the Kernel | 21:45 |
| mattheas | so there's no way to just remove the kernel upgrade | 21:45 |
| WebcamWonder | !pastebin | Funzo | 21:45 |
| DIL | mattheas: try unintalling from synatptic ie remove | 21:45 |
| Flannel | mattheas: The easiest thing to do is just use default: saved, and then append savedefault to your kernel you want to boot to | 21:45 |
| ubottu | Funzo: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 21:45 |
| nickrud | mattheas, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall <broken kernel> | 21:45 |
| thiebaude | !autorun | 21:45 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about autorun | 21:45 |
| mattheas | or get grub to boot to an old kernel? | 21:45 |
| exodus_ms | ugliefrog, try downloading the .deb | 21:46 |
| jimdog | kind of ubuntu related as the folder structure only works in U. But thanks, I'll head there now :-) | 21:46 |
| Flannel | tiredbones: Yes, but you're trying to go from 8.04 to 8.10, correct? | 21:46 |
| [T]ank | spass: yeah but ubuntu attempts to use it | 21:46 |
| WebcamWonder | exodus_ms: I believe the way currently kernel upgrades are handled is making a virtual package depend on the latest kernel. You could always make the working kernel the default boot option | 21:46 |
| nickrud | mattheas, which one broke, -11? | 21:46 |
| WebcamWonder | !who | mattheas | 21:46 |
| ubottu | mattheas: 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 :) | 21:46 |
| tiredbones | Flannel, that is what is dist-upgrade should do. | 21:46 |
| exodus_ms | WebcamWonder, ? | 21:47 |
| mattheas | nickrud, I believe so | 21:47 |
| nickrud | mattheas, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic first, that may fix it. | 21:47 |
| WebcamWonder | exodus_ms: Oops. Sorry | 21:47 |
| exodus_ms | WebcamWonder, pass that along to mattheas | 21:47 |
| WebcamWonder | mattheas: I believe the way currently kernel upgrades are handled is making a virtual package depend on the latest kernel. You could always make the working kernel the default boot option | 21:47 |
| Mood | What does "System Setting" do in NetworkManager? | 21:47 |
| Flannel | tiredbones: No, that's not what a dist-upgrade does. dist-upgrade will bring you up to date while also installing new packages (such as the new kernel), while this command *can* be used to go between versions, it won't by itself. | 21:47 |
| Mood | What is "System Setting" in Network-Manager? | 21:47 |
| Funzo | this is my rtorrent.rc file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115783/ , does it look okey? I want it to have unlimited resources and so. is 0 unlimited for the commands? :/ | 21:48 |
| mattheas | WebcamWonder, How do I go about doing that. Maybe I just didn't see it in grub | 21:48 |
| Flannel | tiredbones: Synaptic can upgrade you from 8.04 to 8.10 in the same way you can use apt-get to do so. Really, you ought to be following the instructions on the Upgrade Page that Ubottu gave you. | 21:48 |

| yoyit2 | giovani: how do you do that | 21:58 |

| Funzo | but when it finished the peer list dissapeared, is that how it's supposed to be? | 22:01 |

| mib_5pbnh9 | Hi as anyone got amarok 2.0 to work in gnome - or is there an equivalent player for gnome? | 22:08 |
| thiebaude | mib_5pbnh9: have you used songbird before? | 22:09 |
| giovani | yoyit2: the method you'd be attempting is a bad solution, it's clunky, it's not properly sustainable, it requires the laptop every time, and it's a messy hack -- get a real wireless adapter or wireless ethernet bridge, period, if you want to do it another way, that's your decision, maybe someone else will feel like guiding you through that | 22:09 |

| sambagirl | is imp/horde the best choice? | 22:12 |
| yoyit2 | giovani: no you didnt i dont have 100$ to buy one thats how much they cost | 22:12 |

| MasterMoose | Who can giude a newbie with Webcams and Skype | 22:14 |
| prahal | MasterMoose, what s your issue ? | 22:14 |
| cjae | IntuitiveNipple: ok but it keeps crashing for me and says I don't have ttf-bitstream-vera installed and I do, I works if you switch it to sky but not earth | 22:15 |
| prahal | not detected ? which ubuntu/kernel do you use ? | 22:15 |
| MasterMoose | hi Prahal.. I have a USB webcam, and a PCi TV tuner. Skype only recognises the Tuner and not the Web cam.. CamStream recognises both | 22:15 |
| IntuitiveNipple | cjae: What Ubuntu release is that on? Intrepid or Hardy or... ? | 22:15 |
| cjae | 8.10 | 22:15 |
| yoyit2 | giovani: well thanks anyways ill just use vista because its beter | 22:16 |

| LHC | hey | 22:16 |
| LHC | i just installed ubuntu, can someone helped me with compiz | 22:16 |
| alaz | MasterMoose, unplug the device and open up a shell write: tail -f /var/log/messages and plug the device back in. see what it says | 22:16 |

| sambagirl | umm giovani i am so used to using horde/imp that i just dont know about these ajax flashy things. | 22:17 |
| alaz | LHC, apt-get install fusion-icon should give all deps and a nice config tool | 22:17 |
| LHC | thanks | 22:17 |
| sambagirl | there is another one that starts with a C but i forget the name of it. | 22:17 |
| LHC | I did installed compiz manager and it didnt really work | 22:17 |
| sambagirl | its on my macbook but i odnt have it here with me. | 22:17 |
| LHC | alaz, what do I do after than | 22:18 |
| sambagirl | is there a way to install the email server via synape supository manager? | 22:18 |
| cjae | IntuitiveNipple: I assume maybe that there is something missing from my auto generated xorg.conf but I have everything else working, and no onboard graphics (nvidia card) | 22:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | cjae: As an experiment, create a new *clean* user account, log-in as that user, and try Earth. If that works at least you'll know it is a user-profile issue. On the other hand, it might prove it is a system issue | 22:18 |
| sambagirl | should i use ebox for it? | 22:18 |
| alaz | LHC, exec fusion-icon from a shell | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | sambagirl: it can be quite complex | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !email | sambagirl | 22:19 |

| ian[2] | Still having trouble using apt-get & aptitude to install subversion.. Getting "E: Couldn't find package subversion." Anyone else have any suggestions? | 22:19 |
| alaz | LHC, should create a icon in your tray that you can right click and play with | 22:19 |
| quibbler | tinker: right click the file in nautilus choose properties open with and delete what you don't want | 22:19 |
| giovani | sambagirl: yes, any package can be installed via synapse | 22:19 |

| sambagirl | thats like using vi | 22:20 |
| giojotoca | join #ubuntu-es | 22:20 |
| zash | sambagirl: round Cube webmail? | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | nowt wrong with vi | 22:20 |
| nightrid3r | sambagirl: pine is a mail client not a server | 22:20 |
| sambagirl | zash i looked at it. i will think about it. | 22:20 |
| KevDog | ian[2]: Have you enabled all of your repositories? | 22:20 |
| sambagirl | ahh ok i did not know that. | 22:21 |
| LHC | alaz, this is cool | 22:21 |

| LHC | yes sambagirl | 22:21 |
| nightrid3r | sambagirl: mail servers are sendmail, postfix, exim, qmail ..... | 22:21 |
| sambagirl | squirellmail | 22:21 |
| sambagirl | oh ok | 22:21 |
| KevDog | Flurdy has a good post in the Ubuntu Forums about setting up a mail server | 22:22 |
| prahal | just a guess. With more input it will be easier to find out | 22:22 |

| sheena11 | on Intrepid, firefox covers taskbars after i click a link in thunderbird. Tried the fix on the ubuntu forum (changing the localstore file), and tried compiz. help? | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ian[2]: well we're here to support | 22:23 |
| sambagirl | but i think i will use zimbra as the alternative. | 22:23 |
| sambagirl | they have clients for osx and windows | 22:23 |
| KevDog | ian[2]: edit your /etc/apt/sources list and make sure multiverse and universe repositories are enabled by removing the # sign in the front of the line, and then sudo aptitude update | 22:23 |
| LHC | does compiz come with themes | 22:23 |
| LHC | I hate the stock theme | 22:23 |
| sambagirl | thanks i forgot all about zimbra | 22:23 |
| nightrid3r | sambagirl: multiplatform client, try thunderbird | 22:23 |
| s3a | y doesnt xournal work in intrepid? the exact same version works in debian lenny! | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | s3a: dont install debian debs on ubuntu | 22:24 |
| ian[2] | KevDog: running that now.. Thanks for the info.. I'm more familiar with yum than apt/aptitude... so this is all new to me.. | 22:24 |
| sambagirl | well there are problems with firefox lately the latest update is faulty and i am losing my confidence in the firefox project sorta. | 22:24 |

| KevDog | ian[2]: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:24 |
| ian[2] | KevDog: Okay -- it's working now... | 22:24 |
| s3a | ActionParsnip, i installed from repository not from debian (it's the same version) | 22:24 |
| prahal | I for one use dovecot + (horde/im, roundcube and evolution/kmail/thunderbird) | 22:24 |
| KevDog | ian[2]: Just wanted to clarify | 22:24 |
| ian[2] | KevDog: I guess it was the update I needed to run.. The multiverse & universe weren't commented out... | 22:25 |
| chuckc | is there a way to completely clear out existing mdadm raid setups ? | 22:25 |
| The_Rebel | sambagirl, i've been hearing the same thing from others (even on different OSes) | 22:25 |
| The_Rebel | glad i didn't update :p | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | s3a: then check configs | 22:25 |
| prahal | and fetchmail/procmail to get all the emails in dovecot as maildirs | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !raid | chuckc | 22:25 |
| ubottu | chuckc: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 22:25 |
| KevDog | ian[2]: I wasnt sure what repository it was in, so sorry | 22:25 |
| s3a | ActionParsnip, o wait i meant xournal works in intrepid but it doesn't write | 22:25 |
| ian[2] | KevDog: I'm running this as my sources.list.. | 22:25 |
| ivancho | chuckc: try mdadm -r /dev/mdX | 22:25 |
| thiebaude | The_Rebel: can't wait until google chrome is ready for linux | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !info xournal | 22:26 |
| ubottu | xournal (source: xournal): GTK+ Application for note taking. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.2.1-0.1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 285 kB, installed size 892 kB | 22:26 |
| KevDog | ian[2]: General tip to upgrade packages: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | s3a: why not just use gedit? | 22:26 |
| The_Rebel | i second that thiebaude, Chrome is awesome. | 22:26 |
| thiebaude | i used it on xp | 22:26 |
| s3a | ActionParsnip, use gedit to do wat? | 22:26 |
| The_Rebel | samzies | 22:26 |
| ian[2] | KevDog: Thanks.. Is aptitude similar to apt as svn is similar to cvs? | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | The_Rebel: try opera, kicks ass outta firefox | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | s3a: take notes | 22:26 |
| jara04 | ello,. i've got a problem i can't install 8.04 when i press to install, the installation program takes me to the shell, i don't wat to work with 8.10.. what can i do? | 22:27 |
| thiebaude | i agree ActionParsnip | 22:27 |
| The_Rebel | opera has a lame GUI. | 22:27 |
| Flannel | ian[2]: No, aptitude is a frontend to apt, much like apt-get is a frontend, synaptic is a frontend, etc. | 22:27 |
| The_Rebel | i like the magic wand feature though | 22:27 |
| s3a | ActionParsnip, no i rely need a feature of it, tomboy is even better than gedit for notes | 22:27 |
| thiebaude | ActionParsnip: i problem was installing flash on opera | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | The_Rebel: skin it then | 22:27 |
| thiebaude | my | 22:27 |
| KevDog | ian[2]: Yes I think today aptitude and apt-get are virtually the same and interchangeable. I think aptitude handles dependencies better (or at least it used to). I prefer aptitude but perhaps I'm biased from the old days | 22:27 |
| deany | if some other browser had the addons i use in FF i might consider them... | 22:28 |
| nightrid3r | jara04: which cd did you download, the alternate uses a text interface to install | 22:28 |
| sambagirl | do i need openfiler with this webmail project? | 22:28 |
| prahal | MasterMoose, any success ? | 22:28 |
| thiebaude | deany: flock? | 22:28 |
| deany | nothing can replace my FF + plugins... | 22:28 |
| ian[2] | KevDog: Thanks again for the info.. Everything is installed and working now.. If you're ever in Oklahoma City, I owe you a beer! thanks again | 22:28 |
| KevDog | ian[2]: Sometimes however when aptitude isn't working or giving me strange messages, I defer to apt-get and the install works! | 22:28 |
| chuckc | ivancho: thanks but when i try and create a new raid, i get this mdadm: /dev/sdb1 appears to be part of a raid array | 22:28 |
| jara04 | nightrid3r, i downloaded the ubuntu desktop edition 32 bits | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | thiebaude: sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins | 22:28 |
| thiebaude | thanks | 22:29 |
| _VIM_ | That's the only things lacking in Opera,,,, stuff like the Delcious extension | 22:29 |
| jara04 | nightrid3r, what can i do to make the installation through commands? | 22:29 |
| thiebaude | i'll go and install opera now | 22:29 |
| nightrid3r | jara04: try adding vga=vesa when booting (use F6 key) see if that helps | 22:29 |
| jara04 | ok | 22:29 |
| deany | im antisocial so i dont do "social networking" lol | 22:29 |
| skate2 | how do you print an EOF character in vim? | 22:30 |
| The_Rebel | lol opera just crashed while i tried watching a video on gametrailers | 22:30 |
| skate2 | is there a command that shows all the privileges a user has on the whole system? | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | thiebaude: could always use firepup too | 22:30 |

| skate2 | ignore my first question please | 22:30 |
| prahal | nobody uses hibernation under ubuntu :-/ what do you use to setup the swap/suspend partition ? | 22:30 |
| The_Rebel | im sure it has a mplayer plugin too | 22:30 |

| |Edgar| | I have ubuntu 8.10. When I installed I don't believe I was asked for a root password. Is there a default root password? | 22:39 |
| moonwatcher | BlueEagle: just wanted to say thanks for last night, i managed to fix most of my problems, which where obviously more complicated then i imagined... | 22:39 |
| zash | |Edgar|: ubuntu does not use a root password | 22:40 |
| giovani | |Edgar|: by default, you cannot log into the root account directly -- using sudo with your own user's password is recommended | 22:40 |
| nightrid3r | !root | |Edgar| | 22:40 |
| ubottu | |Edgar|: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:40 |
| |Edgar| | Can I do su at a prompt? | 22:40 |
| zash | |Edgar|: use sudo -s | 22:40 |
| SwitchMon44 | sinmok: do your satellite speakers work? | 22:40 |
| |Edgar| | Thanks I will try that. | 22:41 |
| sinmok | Yeah, they do. | 22:41 |
| zash | |Edgar|: sudo -s gives you a root shell | 22:41 |
| SwitchMon44 | sinmok: is it a 5.1 surround system? | 22:41 |
| skate2 | isnt a root shell just as dangerous as logging in as root? | 22:41 |
| sinmok | Erm, I wouldnt know. How can I find out? | 22:41 |
| nightrid3r | skate2: anything root is dangerous | 22:41 |
| Xenos | skate2: Winetricks? No | 22:41 |

| giovani | skate2: "dangerous" is relative -- giving out the root password, rather than controlling who can use sudo and what they can execute with it is clearly more secure | 22:42 |

| luciel | Hello everyone, just wondering if there is any documentation on using Ubuntu 8.10 with a KVM switch? | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !kvm | 22:50 |
| ubottu | kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 22:50 |
| G-Blunted | whats a KVM switch? | 22:50 |
| Jewbacca | i know i was there before i just couldnt remember how ActionParsnip | 22:50 |
| rockyrock | I told the torrent client to download the files on an ntfs drive. Is this the problem??? | 22:50 |
| giovani | sigh | 22:50 |
| bioshake | Ubuntu only uses swap if you are out of RAM? and doesn't use it for suspending / hibernation? | 22:50 |
| Jewbacca | ActionParsnip: it wasnt regedit but it was like the same windows as xp | 22:50 |
| giovani | KVM != "KVM Switch" | 22:50 |

| MoTec | a kvm switch allows you to use one keyboard, video/monitor, and mouse to control multiple pcs | 22:50 |
| skate2 | prahal no | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Jewbacca: thats in mouse settings, you change mouse accelleration there | 22:51 |

| Jewbacca | ActionParsnip: yes but i also had a place where i could enter a number | 22:51 |
| SwitchMon44 | sinmok: so your laptop has a built in subwoofer? | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Jewbacca: you arent using windows now so the regedit stuff you know doesnt apply | 22:51 |
| G-Blunted | lol | 22:51 |
| prahal_ | bioshake, it should use it for hibernation (one could use a file but the default is the swap ... though I cannot tell you why if it does not as that s why I came here to ask | 22:51 |

| Thrae | n8tuser: It only serves on eth1, not eth2. | 23:04 |
| quentusrex | why is KVM the default supported virtualization software? | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | wil_: gparted or fdisk | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | adante: http://linux.justinhartman.com/PureFTPd_Installation_and_Setup | 23:04 |
| prahal_ | Pyles17, otherwise I would bet on a failure to load firmware but that would show up in dmesg output | 23:04 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> is that what you wanted? to serve only on eth1? how is eth2 is supposed to gets its own ip address? | 23:05 |
| pressman57 | Is anyone else experiencing problems with Gnome? The panel flew up to the top and was partially unresponsive (wouldn't display menus- would open apps but text entry wouldn't work) I tried the failsafe xorg.conf file with the same result, and after several reboots has decided to work once more. What the heck? | 23:05 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: The one computer connected to eth2 is set as static with IP: 192.168.2.2, Gateway: 192.168.2.1, DNS: 192.168.2.1 | 23:05 |
| Stefano | MoTec, thanks for the link | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | balor: debian and fedora are different distros so will act differently | 23:05 |
| prahal_ | pressman57, a11y issue I bet | 23:05 |
| wil_ | ActionParsnip, I cant find gparted, but i am just instaling gnome partition manager (probably the same thing) and qtparted and will take a look... thanks | 23:06 |
| pressman57 | prahal_, ally? | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | wil_: yeah you'll find its the same bag | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | wil_: gksudo gparted | 23:06 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: I use Static IPs instead of a DHCP Server for eth2. | 23:06 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> wait a minute one computer connected to eth2 or you said you have a switch? you see, a picture is worth a thousand word | 23:06 |
| racecar56 | gparted 0.4 pwns 0.3 | 23:06 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: eth2 -> switch -> client | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | racecar56: i just use fdisk, easier | 23:06 |
| racecar56 | k | 23:06 |
| Flannel | Stefano: Makesure you have a newline (empty) after your crontab entry | 23:06 |
| balor | ActionParsnip: I'm wondering, though, what the specific Ubuntu reason is for linking against it. As I think it's causing an issue on my system. | 23:06 |
| prahal_ | pressman57, accessibility . Have you checked you haave not mistakenly enabled orca or such ? | 23:07 |
| prince_jammys | Stefano: you'll need to set the DISPLAY environment variable if you want to start applications with cron | 23:07 |
| Pyles17 | prahal_: how would I check those things? | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | balor: log a bug | 23:07 |
| prince_jammys | Stefano: X applications, i mean | 23:07 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> nothing wrong with having the client to get a static ip, have you configured eth2 to be static too? | 23:07 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: Yes, eth2 192.168.2.1. The client is 192.168.2.2. | 23:08 |
| racecar56 | is there such thing as a ipv4 to ipv6 translator? | 23:08 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> and the client is told of a good nameserver to use? route table is okay? | 23:08 |
| pressman57 | prahal_, I'm sorry to be so dense but what is orca and where do I find it? | 23:08 |
| racecar56 | orca is in your apps | 23:08 |
| racecar56 | universal access i think | 23:09 |
| balor | racecar56: All IPV4 numbers are IPV6 numbers. They're just the last few enties | 23:09 |
| racecar56 | k | 23:09 |
| n8tuser | pressman57 -> i believe those are for visually impaired users | 23:09 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: Since bind is running on all interfaces, including eth2, I give the client 192.168.2.1 as its DNS. However, that's not working for that subnet. It works with eth1 (which is 192.168.1.1). | 23:09 |
| sinmok | Hi, can someone help me with sound? | 23:10 |
| prince_jammys | sinmok: just describe your problem in detail and someone might help | 23:10 |
| unop | racecar56, yes, but there are a couple of ways of representing IPv4 Addresses in IPv6 - here is one http://www.subnetonline.com/pages/subnet-calculators/ipv4-to-ipv6-converter.php | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | sinmok | 23:10 |
| ubottu | sinmok: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 23:10 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> you can test from your client if eth2 is really serving dns test it on port 53 | 23:11 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> if not, check your bind if it does really serve on that eth2 | 23:11 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: netstat -nlp shows it is on the router, and I can do dig @192.168.2.1 www.google.com | 23:11 |
| Pyles17 | prahal_: how would i check that there is no blacklist for the card and the firmware is loading? | 23:11 |
| pressman57 | n8tuser, perhaps, but I really doubt it. One thing might be important....I just had a power-supply fail. I did run a fsck on the disk from another disk and it checked out. | 23:11 |
| sinmok | Yes, alsa is selected. My speakers work fine. The problem is my subwoofer, nothing appears to be coming out of it. The subwoofer and speakers are built into my laptop. My laptop is the Toshiba Qosmio F50. | 23:11 |
| badfish69 | how can i create an asx playlist? | 23:12 |
| n8tuser | pressman57 -> what is the issue? i have not followed your convo yet | 23:12 |
| racecar56 | does oss sound work on ubuntu with virtualbox | 23:12 |
| slipst | I have several pdf files with filenames that are just numbers. I'd like to mass rename so they get their filename from the original filename PLUS the title that shows up when you open it in evince. any ideas? | 23:12 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> you do your dig from the router or from the client? | 23:12 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: Client is Windows, and nslookup doesn't work | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | badfish69: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/howto/articles/ad.aspx | 23:13 |
| prahal_ | Pyles17, grep <driver_name> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist* | 23:13 |
| Forgotten | Hi all! | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | badfish69: looks like some form of html to me, with <entry> </entry> | 23:13 |
| _16aR_ | Hello | 23:13 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> get another client or check the tcpip settings of your windows | 23:14 |
| prahal_ | Pyles17, and grep <driver name> /var/log/kernel.log for firmware issues | 23:14 |
| _16aR_ | I've forgotten it, but do you know the tool to scan the port on a machine ? | 23:14 |
| lstarnes | _16aR_: nmap | 23:14 |
| _16aR_ | yeahhh | 23:14 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: I also had the same problem on another Windows computer. | 23:14 |
| _16aR_ | thank you !! | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | badfish69: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/upload/asx.xml | 23:14 |
| unop | slipst, does every file have a different title? | 23:14 |
| Stefano | thank u so much. Why I should use crontab -e instead of vim directly? | 23:14 |
| adante | ActionParsnip: thanks but the way it is configured in ubuntu seems to be some rather wierd wrapper script which parses a directory containing the options and is basically completely abstracted from all of that | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | badfish69: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=875760 | 23:14 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> you can ping okay from those clients to 192.168.2.1 ? | 23:14 |
| racecar56 | goodbye and hoping everyone who gots problems will get them solved, i gotta go | 23:14 |
| racecar56 | bye | 23:15 |
| welly | hey all, just finished installing ubuntu 8.10 server on my vps. I remember seeing a post-installation document somewhere. how to lock down the server a little. i don't supposed anyone knows of one? | 23:15 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: Yes, as well as to any IP on the internet | 23:15 |
| slipst | unop, yes. I also have a list of the names but I don't know if it's in the same order. | 23:15 |
| unop | Stefano, crontab -e just opens up the file in your editor -- and that could be vim | 23:15 |
| fogobogo | welly: http://suigintou.desudesudesu.org/4scrape/img/190519.jpg | 23:15 |
| n8tuser | Thrae id check you windows tcpip properties | 23:15 |
| quentusrex | I have a radeon 7000 how do I enable dual screen monitors? so that they don't mirror each other? | 23:15 |
| prahal_ | pressman57, orca is for visually impaired people . You could do ps ax |grep orca to see if it is enabled | 23:15 |
| welly | cheers fogobogo! :-/ | 23:16 |
| MoTec | Stefano: EDITOR=nano && crontab -e | 23:16 |
| Stefano | unop, I've tried with the line: * * * * * stefano /usr/bin/firefox but it doesn't start :-( | 23:16 |
| MoTec | or whatever editor you want to use. | 23:16 |
| unop | slipst, well, from what you're saying now - you just want to add the title to the filename | 23:16 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> you're not running any kind of firewalling in your router are you? | 23:16 |
| slipst | unop, I was going to use pyrenamer but when I loaded filenames from text file it removes the original filename completely. so the easiest solution I can come up with is to manually check so that every original filename (numbers) matches the title of the document. kind of a PITA with several thousand documents. | 23:16 |
| slipst | unop, yeah | 23:16 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: It's also happening on my DD-WRT router too. Like I said, the TCP/IP settings are IP: 192.168.2.2, Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.2.1, DNS: 192.168.2.1 | 23:16 |
| unop | Stefano, right, that's because like prince_jammys said sometime ago -- you need to set the DISPLAY variable for GUI apps to work from cron | 23:17 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: Yes I am, but it's not rejecting the packets | 23:17 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> where is this DD-WRT coming into the picture? do you have another linux box you can use as a client? | 23:17 |
| unop | slipst, have a look at extract .. it can look for metadata in files and may pull up something if your files have the titles in the tags | 23:17 |
| fogobogo | welly: my pleasure. | 23:17 |
| slipst | unop, thanks for the tip | 23:18 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> i suspect its your firewalling, combed through it and/or use logs of packets getting rejected on eth2 | 23:18 |
| welly | fogobogo: I'm not sure what your point is though | 23:18 |
| unop | !info extract | 23:18 |
| ubottu | extract (source: libextractor): displays meta-data from files of arbitrary type. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.20b-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 57 kB, installed size 256 kB | 23:18 |
| racecar56 | is it possible to clear icon browser dropdowns, like in alacarte to choose an icon for the menu entry | 23:18 |
| prahal_ | pressman57, this was just an issue that would have been able to explain most of what you describe (if buggy on your version of the distrib) | 23:18 |
| gorgapor | I am having a very serious and wierd problem: the file /etc/resolv.conf cannot be accessed or removed, giving the error message "Stale NFS file handle". Because of this, I have no DNS capability. How do I fix this? Why would /etc/resolv.conf even be on a networked file system? | 23:18 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Anyone know what the local format of Quicktime is, need to transcode for | 23:18 |
| fogobogo | gorgapor: http://suigintou.desudesudesu.org/4scrape/img/190519.jpg | 23:19 |
| n8tuser | gorgapor -> without resolv.conf you can not resolve names to ip address | 23:19 |
| gorgapor | n8tuser, yes, i am aware that i can't resolve names, and it's very annoying :) | 23:19 |
| racecar56 | is it possible to clear icon browser dropdowns, like in alacarte to choose an icon for the menu entry | 23:20 |
| gorgapor | fogobogo, you are not helping | 23:20 |
| n8tuser | gorgapor -> cant you relate? network file system -- to resolve those network addresses you require resolv.conf | 23:20 |
| BBishop | hey ubuntu people :) | 23:20 |
| BBishop | so far .. so nice .. only one problem in firefox .. anyone here uses html validator addon for firefox ? :| | 23:21 |
| Brucee | is there any remote program for ubuntu such as tight vnc, vnc, radmin, or teamviewer? | 23:21 |
| adante | anybody use pureftpd in ubuntu? | 23:21 |
| === Bruceee is now known as Bruce | ||
| n8tuser | gordonjcp -> have an entry in your /etc/hosts file is you wish, am assuming not many nfs servers you need to resolved | 23:21 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: Yeah, no packets getting rejected | 23:21 |
| prahal_ | gorgapor, sudo lsof -i may help find out if someone has mounted your / as nfs share | 23:21 |
| MoTec | Brucee: Yep, vnc works | 23:21 |
| pressman57 | n8tuser, Really strange behavior in gnome. The panel has twice jumped to the top of the screen and become unresponsive. After a reboot it remained unresponsive. I've used the failsafe xorg.conf to no avail and then on a subsequent | 23:21 |
| adante | or can recommend an ftp with non retarded setup | 23:21 |
| MoTec | Brucee: I use x11vnc - probably outdated by now, heh | 23:21 |
| prince_jammys | BBishop: try firebug | 23:21 |
| Thrae | n8tuser: Yeah, no packets getting rejected, which is the weird part. | 23:22 |
| Brucee | MoTec i want it to run on cross platforms | 23:22 |
| timmyzecat | hi | 23:22 |
| prahal_ | gorgapor, or exportfs to see if your system does not export it by mistake | 23:22 |
| piegod | Hi, has anyone noticed that the ngircd package in Ubuntu's repository is out of date? | 23:22 |
| Brucee | xp, with ubuntu | 23:22 |
| MoTec | you can use any vnc viewer to connect to x11vnc | 23:22 |
| tomvolek_ | Hi, I am running 8.1, i have updated my system from now and then and now i see three kernel versions on the grub bootup screen.. How can I remove the ones i dont want from both the fiule system ? I know how to remove grub entries . | 23:22 |
| n8tuser | Thrae -> thats odd, is it getting in through your firewall, all the nslookup request from your client? | 23:22 |
| BBishop | prince_jammys, doesn't firebug bug google mail ? | 23:22 |
| gorgapor | prahal_, one second, i'll check that out | 23:22 |
| racecar56 | is it possible to clear icon browser dropdowns, like in alacarte to choose an icon for the menu entry >by the way pm me if you know, i can't see irc messages as good if they are grouped with others so PM ME if you know how < | 23:22 |
| n8tuser | pressman57 -> i got sidetracked, what was the issue we're trying to resolved? | 23:22 |
| prince_jammys | BBishop: beats me | 23:22 |
| prahal_ | tomvolek_, remove the kernels via synaptic/aptitude | 23:23 |
| prahal_ | grub will find them and add them back in the list | 23:23 |
| prahal_ | otherwise | 23:23 |
| tomvolek_ | prahal, i am on synaptic now, what would i look for ? | 23:23 |
| racecar56 | by the way i do ubuntu 8.10 and only ubuntu 8.10... :> | 23:23 |

| prince_jammys | BBishop: it's installable through apt | 23:23 |
| prahal_ | tomvolek_, linux-image-* | 23:23 |
| racecar56 | it's good to have a OS that's pwnage | 23:23 |
| racecar56 | :> | 23:23 |
| BBishop | prince_jammys, well .. does it have the standard validation abilities ? | 23:23 |
| pressman57 | buggy behavior on gnome system-wide (I tried logging in as another user). | 23:23 |
| BBishop | of the pages I visit .. | 23:23 |
| racecar56 | ubuntu is my favorite OS | 23:24 |
| G-Bleezy | tomvolek_: /boot/grub/menu.lst and delete the vmlinuz file from wherever you've got the binaries stashed...usually /boot | 23:24 |
| prince_jammys | BBishop: yes. check it out. you can turn it on and off, too. sudo apt-get install firebug | 23:24 |
| thiebaude | ubuntu is my only OS | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | racecar56: i love gentoo | 23:24 |
| tomvolek_ | prahal_ just unmark the one i dont want ? is that safe to do ? | 23:24 |
| racecar56 | cool | 23:24 |
| gorgapor | prahal_, i don't even have exportfs installed, there is no nfs set up on my system | 23:24 |
| Ax-Ax | snopp | 23:24 |
| BBishop | I still don't get why ubuntu doesn't use the normal firefox trunk ... | 23:24 |
| prahal_ | tomvolek_, yes . It will bark at you if you try to remove them all | 23:24 |
| racecar56 | i tried gentoo once but it took too long to install so i gave up | 23:25 |
| piegod | will the ngircd package in the repos ever be updated? I think the repo has 0.10 something and 0.13 is out, and supports SSL/stuff | 23:25 |

| racecar56 | i like ubuntu the best and i like freebsd the second best because of its ports | 23:25 |
| lstarnes | piegod: you will most likely have to download the sources and compile it yoruself | 23:25 |
| lstarnes | *yourself | 23:25 |
| racecar56 | although ubuntu is easier | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | racecar56: you can achieve similar to emerge with apt-build but apt doesnt keep up with them, sucks | 23:25 |
| racecar56 | k | 23:25 |
| piegod | lstarnes: I know, I had to, I just wanted to know if they will ever update the repository | 23:25 |

| piegod | jaunty | 23:26 |
| prince_jammys | BBishop: that integrates with firefox, or is stand-alone? | 23:26 |
| prahal_ | gorgapor, ok so the only reason I see is not that your / is exported but that at least /etc was from another nfs export (from another box ... I ll look after how to get rid of stale files (don't know yet | 23:26 |
| racecar56 | i like ubuntu better because freebsd isn't so 'working out the box' but its still fun to fool with, for me at least | 23:26 |

| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 23:33 |

| prahal_ | Pyles17, I found out the iwl driver is new in that the regulatory is no more in a daemon but in the firmware http://www.linux-archive.org/fedora-development/78476-iwl3945-driver-channel-capability.html but .... there is a thing about config80211 | 23:49 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ScottG: but a backup is a good idea | 23:49 |
| Luuux | isase, PM lstarnes, PM | 23:49 |
| mib_w2re6368 | and low memory as well... | 23:49 |
| isase | ScottG: you do run the risk of data loss, but it's a pretty small chance. the operation itself doesn't delete any data | 23:49 |
| lstarnes | Luuuks: please keep it in the channel if possible | 23:49 |
| nightrid3r | Luuux: you probably need to install ssh-dev package | 23:50 |
| prahal_ | Pyles17, which region are you in ? US/JP or else ? | 23:50 |
| Pyles17 | prahal_: us | 23:50 |
| Dartel | Evening All | 23:50 |
| ScottG | isase: I dont really have anywhere do back the data up to :/ | 23:50 |
| isase | ScottG: then you run the risk of losing it - small risk, but it's there | 23:50 |

| mib_w2re6368 | blizzle: Is there something that'll tax the hardware less than ext3? | 23:53 |
| blizzle | mib_w2re6368, ext3 won't tax the hardware hard. It's fine. | 23:54 |

| G-Blunted | S4nD3r, : probably over heats | 23:54 |
| blizzle | mib_w2re6368, And journalling is something you're better with that without. Not worth sacrificing for nominal performance gains. | 23:55 |
| nightrid3r | S4nD3r: prob has to do with hybernation which is still problematic under linux | 23:55 |

| fabio | gnome rocks | 23:57 |
| MoTec | xubuntu works better with lower powered systems | 23:57 |
| blizzle | Dartel, On your system, much better performance, as well as being easier to tweak. | 23:57 |
| G-Blunted | i just installed Xubuntu on my Dell Inspiron 8500 and love it... | 23:57 |
