| nightrid3r | S4nD3r: might be an hybernation problem | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mrpockets | GYAHHH WAHT THE H!LLLL!!! | 00:00 |
| Dartel | blizzle: TY | 00:00 |
| S4nD3r | Is it possible to correct? | 00:00 |
| Dartel | My bad | 00:00 |
| S4nD3r | I'll turn off screensaver !! | 00:00 |
| blizzle | Dartel, And yes, you can nominate where it installs to. Not sure you can run it "portably" if you install to USB, though. | 00:00 |
| === Commie_Cary is now known as gTroll | ||
| Dartel | I cn not wait to install this on a quad core system | 00:01 |
| === gTroll is now known as Commie_Cary | ||
| MrBC | Can gnome's desktop icon text be changed so that all the icons line up? | 00:01 |
| Dartel | Well the USB is mounted so it SHOULD work like a hard drive, Yes? | 00:01 |
| MrBC | Maybe a hint of a filename? | 00:01 |
| blizzle | Dartel, GoogleEarth on quadcore? *laugh* It's running oon Wine, so you'll only be exploiting a single core afaik. | 00:01 |
| blizzle | MrBC, Have you tried right clicking on the desktop? | 00:02 |
| Dartel | Google earth has Linux versions | 00:02 |
| MrBC | Yeah... | 00:02 |
| MrBC | Some options are there... | 00:02 |
| slusken | umm hi! anyone know how i disable my powermizer override options in xorg.conf? :P | 00:02 |
| S4nD3r | im not using nvidia, its an Intel G985. How to change it? | 00:02 |
| G-Blunted | So do you use Synaptic installer to install new kernels? | 00:02 |
| MrBC | But not the options I'm looking for... | 00:02 |
| blizzle | Dartel, No, GoogleEarth has Linux versions which are actually wine installations with the Windows version. *chuckle* You've been suckered. | 00:02 |
| MrBC | If a filename is big, the whole filename is displayed under the icon. | 00:03 |
| MrBC | I'm trying to get that to reduce without renaming. | 00:03 |
| nightrid3r | Dartel: like corel did with coreldraw | 00:03 |
| Dartel | LOL I have a S3 Virge M+ graphics chip | 00:03 |
| mrpockets | I can't become root in my overall X session, can I? | 00:03 |
| prahal_ | Pyles17, I would try to upgrade (move old one out or /lib/firmware and install new one from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads | 00:04 |
| usser | mrpockets, you can but its not recommended | 00:04 |
| Dartel | blizzle: Oh did not know that | 00:04 |
| mrpockets | usser, I know its not recommended, and I know this chan doesn't suggust even telling peopel how | 00:04 |
| prahal_ | as the config80211 is by default configured for US this cannot be the issue | 00:04 |
| blizzle | mrpockets, Login as root, you are root. Except by default root on ubuntu has no password set, so you'd need to address that first. | 00:04 |
| prahal_ | and the other side (what was in the daemon for ipw version) is now in the firmware | 00:04 |
| isase | you can't login GUI as root without setting AllowRootLogin to true in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf | 00:05 |
| mrpockets | blizzle, It says I cannot log in this way with the administrator when i try to log into the session as "root" | 00:05 |
| isase | mrpockets: you have to edit, as root, /etc/gdm/gdm.conf | 00:05 |
| isase | search for the line that says "allowroot" | 00:05 |
| Pyles17 | prahal_: right. next computer i'm getting is going to have hardware that doesn't suck | 00:05 |
| isase | and change "false" to "true" (without quotes, mind you) | 00:05 |
| isase | then you have to restart gnome | 00:05 |
| Pyles17 | with linux | 00:05 |
| mrpockets | isase, thanks | 00:05 |
| === rj_x|away is now known as rj_x | ||
| Dartel | Some of this reminds me of my old Amiga days but its differant enough to slow my learning curve | 00:06 |
| blizzle | mrpockets, You could just sudo apt-get install slim | 00:07 |
| mrpockets | isase, need to reboot after editing said .conf? | 00:07 |
| prahal_ | Pyles17, well as it seems it not only sucks with linux .( it is hardcoded in hardware for the US when bought in the US . And the firmware only vallidate this . This means that if one travels then boom no way to switch the regulatory settings | 00:07 |
| isase | mrpockets: no, just restart gnome | 00:07 |
| isase | *gdm | 00:07 |
| Dartel | I will delete the Google earth files will be too much for system to run I think | 00:07 |
| blizzle | mrpockets, gdm is a bit heavier, slim is a lighter login manager. Just a thought :) | 00:07 |
| blizzle | Ah, he gone. | 00:07 |
| prahal_ | though I like Intel hardware next time I ll take a close look at what they are selling before buying | 00:07 |
| Pyles17 | prahal_: i saw that. ridiculous | 00:07 |
| isase | mrpockets: as root ,run gdm-restart from command line | 00:07 |
| todd | I was wondering if there is an easy way to "back up" user accounts (IE: there password and files)? | 00:08 |
| mrpockets | This would be a whole lot easier if it just told me which goddamn machien it wants the password for | 00:08 |
| Pollywog | hello, I upgraded a hardy system to Intrepid but the old image will not boot (file not found error) and the new image asks for a LUKS password and the old LUKS password does not work. Is this a common upgrade problem with Intrepid? | 00:08 |
| Dartel | WB mrpockets | 00:08 |
| mrpockets | "localhost" isnt very specific when networking whathaveyou | 00:08 |
| mrpockets | and its not the local host, because its not accepting the password | 00:09 |
| isase | mrpockets: it wants the password for the machine the printer is connected to | 00:09 |
| blizzle | Dartel, On your machine, it will be too heavy without doubt. | 00:09 |
| mrpockets | isase, its a networked pritner over ethernet | 00:09 |
| mrpockets | and it won't take the password for the server supporting it | 00:09 |
| isase | mrpockets: what's server OS? | 00:09 |
| mrpockets | win2k3 | 00:10 |
| isase | mrpockets: and hte printer is shared, right? | 00:10 |
| isase | (jsut making sure) | 00:10 |
| mrpockets | yeah | 00:10 |
| mrpockets | 'heh | 00:10 |
| skate2 | anyone use znc? i dont get how to use it and cant find any good howto on it | 00:10 |
| blizzle | mrpockets, user/pass for an account on the win2k3 box. | 00:10 |
| and2 | I'm having a heck of a time adding a display and was hoping someone might be able to tell me how to gracefully restart the x server? I keep getting pushed into low res display moe when I try ctrl alt backspace | 00:10 |
| isase | was about to suggest that, blizzle | 00:10 |
| mrpockets | no problems on the other windows machines | 00:10 |
| isase | windows != ubuntu | 00:10 |
| isase | :P | 00:10 |
| owner_ | i have the same problem as and2 | 00:10 |
| mrpockets | right | 00:10 |
| owner_ | i found one way to fix the error, but it doesn't fix the resolution | 00:11 |
| mrpockets | I'm just saying the problem is with the Ubntuy machien, not the network or the share | 00:11 |
| pil | hi | 00:11 |
| blizzle | mrpockets, also check permissions in /etc/samba.smb.conf | 00:11 |
| Dillizar | !ultimate edition | 00:11 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:11 |
| isase | mrpockets: what is the error that it's hrowing up, exactly/ | 00:11 |
| todd | how can I backup my users accounts so I can "restore" after a resinstall? | 00:11 |
| mrpockets | i enter password | 00:11 |
| blizzle | mrpockets, * /etc/samba/smb.conf | 00:11 |
| Pollywog | hello, I upgraded a hardy system to Intrepid but the old image will not boot (file not found error) and the new image asks for a LUKS password and the old LUKS password does not work. Is this a common upgrade problem with Intrepid? | 00:11 |
| mrpockets | and it says "adding pritner" for a few secconds | 00:12 |
| Dillizar | is ultimate edition a real ubuntu? | 00:12 |
| mrpockets | then asks for the password again | 00:12 |
| and2 | anyone? graceful x server restart | 00:12 |
| nightrid3r | Dillizar: not officialy | 00:12 |
| isase | and2: ctrl+shift+backspace | 00:12 |
| Pollywog | I guess I should just do a clean install of Intrepid | 00:12 |
| Pollywog | would that be best? | 00:12 |
| blizzle | isase, You know that's deprecated in jaunty, right? | 00:12 |
| and2 | isase: thats not graceful | 00:12 |
| isase | blizzle: it works :P | 00:13 |
| Dillizar | nightrid3r but will still have support form the ubuntu comunity | 00:13 |
| isase | although i didn't know that | 00:13 |
| nightrid3r | Dillizar: yup | 00:13 |
| blizzle | isase, Not in jaunty. | 00:13 |
| isase | and2: apologies, then | 00:13 |
| isase | blizzle: i stand corrected then, still using Intrepid | 00:13 |
| owner_ | my server gives me a low graphics error during bootup because i dont' have a monitor attached, how do i fix the resolution | 00:13 |
| mrpockets | blizzle, i'd edit smb.conf if i wanted to share it out from this location | 00:14 |
| freazer | My system was shut down abruptly and now I've got bad inodes!! I've used a livecd to repair them but some of my programs aren't working! firefox is giving me "illegal instruction" from command line, and I reinstall it but it still doesn't work. I've noticed other important system files like /etc/init.d/rc were damaged in small ways - can anybody help me repair and salvage my system?? | 00:14 |
| todd | how can I backup my users accounts so I can "restore" after a resinstall? | 00:14 |
| prahal_ | todd, 1/ the data (well /home/* ) second the permissions (tricky but you can count on any user/group above 1000 to be users and users'groups ... if you also want to retain the system groups where your users belongs - audio, netdev, plugdev, etc ... hard to tell how to best achieve that | 00:14 |
| Dillizar | nightrid3r what about gedubuntu or smt like that | 00:15 |
| isase | Dillizar: why not jsut use Ubuntu? | 00:15 |
| GeffIsLegend | anyone mind helping me to install fonts on my system? the stuff on the support fourms istoo complicated.... | 00:15 |
| S4nD3r | how to discover which video driver is installed? | 00:15 |
| todd | prahal: Thats exactly what I am looking for groups, and passwords, I mean there has to be a way right??? | 00:15 |
| Dillizar | isase lol :D i am | 00:15 |
| nightrid3r | Dillizar: any ubuntu or derived system can be supported as far as its the ubuntu part that gives problems | 00:15 |
| MrBC | Can gnome's desktop icons only show part of the text insteadl of ALL of it so that the icons like up better? | 00:15 |
| MrBC | line up | 00:16 |
| Dillizar | lol nightrid3r | 00:16 |
| nightrid3r | Dillizar: the other parts will depend if people in here use it | 00:16 |
| drash | todd: there are numerous backup options available (do a websearch for more info i guess) ... but if you put your /home in a partition of its own (separated from the / system files) you can update or reinstall without the need for 'restore'. You might want to websearch for partition schemes in ubuntu (or linux in general) | 00:16 |
| isase | Dillizar: to answer what I think is your question, the "official" ubuntu distros are ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu, xubuntu, and ubuntu server | 00:16 |
| GeffIsLegend | anyone mind helping me install fonts on my system please ? ubuntu8.10 | 00:16 |
| freazer | When I try to run firefox (even in safemode) it says "illegal instruction" - so I tried sudo apt-get purge firefox and then sudo apt-get install firefox and I'm getting the same errors - I've run e2fsck -fy and it's not fixing any new inodes - any tips? | 00:16 |
| S4nD3r | ?? | 00:17 |
| todd | drash: I know how to back up user files, how do I backup users??? | 00:17 |
| Dillizar | GeffIsLegend go to home and show hiden folders and find the .fonts and put them there | 00:17 |
| isase | todd: it's not an easy, straightforward process - you're probably better off jsut recreating them after a reinstall | 00:17 |
| Cpudan80 | Hello all | 00:17 |
| todd | drash: Already did a bunch of google searches, need more to go on | 00:17 |
| drash | todd: cfr isase | 00:17 |
| Cpudan80 | How do I reload bash so that the new path variables take effect? | 00:17 |
| prahal_ | todd, you could backup /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow /etc/gshadow ( withstanding the security issues) | 00:17 |
| freazer | drash: That isn't true at all! I've put my /home in another partition, and when i reinstalled _none_ of the users could login saying they could not have write permissions to their own folders! | 00:18 |
| GeffIsLegend | Dillizar i only see a .fontconfig, should i make a .font myself? | 00:18 |
| Dillizar | yes GeffIsLegend | 00:18 |
| GeffIsLegend | ok thanks ill try it | 00:18 |

| todd | prahal_: Assuming I am root/admin if I drop in /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow /etc/gshadow, and install the same software, and the users files I should get the same system... basicly? are there any other files? | 00:19 |
| isase | MoTec: LOL | 00:19 |

| isase | freazer: lynx | 00:19 |

| Tr3y- | lol | 01:15 |
| * _2 just uses mc for his editing | 01:15 | |
| Dartel | I still do not understand virtual machines.. they still need real life resources like memory and such right? | 01:15 |
| Scunizi | I've got an iso of ubuntu server.. usually I use k3b to burn but since it's not installed on this box I'd give whatever the native app is a shot.. where do I find it and how do I use it? | 01:15 |
| Dexi | Does such a thing exist that would allow me to right-click on a picture and upload it to imageshack or something like that? the same as "Send file" but "upload" | 01:16 |
| ScottG489 | I just created a new lager partition for swap space so that I could hibernate, but when I hibernate and start back up its just as if im doing a fresh restart. I'm guessing hibernate doesnt know the new location of my swap partition? What do I need to do? | 01:16 |
| _VIM_ | Dartel: oh yeah theres no getting around that | 01:16 |
| rgotten | anybody has try webmin agains ebox | 01:16 |
| Scunizi | Nevermind.. Brassero and once loaded it's pretty self explainitory.. | 01:16 |
| Zenitur | suse 10.1 have nice programs. And many. By default. 15 text editors, 10 media players, 5 3D-editors... I like this path, not a minimal. But since 10.2 (Microsoft agression) it is minimal too. | 01:16 |
| [T]ank | i need a good, easy, n00b friendly program to burn a mp4 video to a dvd disk to play in a dvd player. Can anyone make a recommendation? | 01:17 |
| _VIM_ | Dartel: VM's just let you use different OS's inside other OS's, so like you can run Windows XP inside Ubuntu and viceversa, of course you'd need the Windows cd or .iso file... | 01:17 |
| _2 | ouch oomk ! kooka seems to have a bug | 01:17 |
| fearful | [T]ank: Have you tried Brasero? I don't know if it burns mp4 but you can try | 01:17 |
| [T]ank | looking | 01:17 |
| Dartel | So say I have a quad core system 4 gig ram per core I can set up 4-8 Vrt Machines? | 01:17 |
| Zenitur | They want to make distros low power and make windows 7. They are not partner of gnu/linux.They are killers | 01:17 |
| Scunizi | [T]ank: k3b | 01:18 |
| [T]ank | brasero looks like it may do it. | 01:18 |
| _VIM_ | Dartel: easily | 01:18 |
| Zenitur | Tank, TkDVD. | 01:18 |
| Dartel | Ahhh | 01:18 |
| rgotten | which is better to use webmin or ebox to manage ubuntu server | 01:18 |
| _VIM_ | Dartel: and oddly enough, Win xp runs FASTER in Virtualbox than without Virtuualbox | 01:18 |
| Tr3y- | Anyone have any suggestions for 3d editing for *nix | 01:18 |
| Tr3y- | and don't say blender please | 01:18 |
| MoTec | ebox, apparently webmin isn't supported for ubuntu | 01:18 |
| Dartel | Hmm. Ubuntu/xp/vista/amiga/Mac machine :-) | 01:18 |
| Zenitur | VIM, cool | 01:19 |
| _VIM_ | !webmin | 01:19 |
| ubottu | 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. | 01:19 |
| _2 | maybe i'll try to do all my "kooka" stuff on debian ;/ | 01:19 |
| fearful | [T]ank: You can also try DeVeDe | 01:19 |
| rgotten | i know that ebox is supported, but: ebox does not have command line line like webmin, and you are installing like a server on top of a server | 01:19 |
| h00k | [T]ank: I've had good luck with DeVeDe, also | 01:20 |
| Dartel | Well VIM that makes sense, as its not running the resourse directly but has a more efficient OS supplying it right? | 01:20 |
| _VIM_ | Dartel: something to that effect, yes. | 01:20 |
| endeavormac | so i'm looking at all the traffic coming out of my machine when i connect it to a network. What daemon is spitting out ssdp packets? | 01:20 |
| Dartel | I am a 2 day old Linux user VIM forgive my ignorance LOL I am struggling to learn the new and wonderful | 01:21 |
| _2 | _VIM_ "runs faster" most likely for some of the same reasons that games run too fast and are uncontrolable, i.e. timers are emulated poorly or not at all. | 01:21 |
| rk_ | how do i generate /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key and /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key ? | 01:21 |
| _VIM_ | !pm | rgotten | 01:21 |
| ubottu | rgotten: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 01:21 |
| MoTec | rk_: installing sshd package should generate those | 01:21 |
| netdur | latest ubuntu & firefox, firefox freeze few seconds every two/three minutes | 01:21 |
| _VIM_ | Dartel: you're doing just fine... :) | 01:22 |
| rgotten | please explain your comment since i am new into this | 01:22 |
| LHC | oh shit .avi is glitchy when played | 01:22 |
| MoTec | rk_: meaning, since it's installed by default, they should be already generated. | 01:22 |
| LHC | is this the norm? | 01:22 |
| h00k | I am having some lag problems with Docky (nVidia 177.82, x86_64 kernel), has anyone had problems with Docky lagging? | 01:22 |
| rk_ | MoTec, ive got it installated, but when i run it it says could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key | 01:22 |
| Dartel | Surely someone has come up with a step timer to emulate what speeds are needed? | 01:22 |
| endeavormac | nevermind, tracked it down to pidgin | 01:22 |
| ZiRiS | I installed a fresh install of kubuntu after the same issue happened in ubuntu. I installed the recommended driver for my vid card (nVidia 8600GT) and rebooted, but xserver won't load. So I'm trying to copy the files listed previously and a few others to try to fix this. anyone else have a suggestion? | 01:22 |
| MoTec | rk_: do a ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key | 01:23 |
| ZiRiS | Sorry, listed previously in #kubuntu, Xorg.conf.* | 01:23 |
| MoTec | and a ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key | 01:23 |
| _2 | LHC .avi is only a container. the format makes lots of differance and the short answer is NO, not if you use the correct libs and codecs | 01:23 |
| _VIM_ | LHC: you're probably just missing the good codecs, have you tried sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and enabled the medibuntu repos? | 01:23 |
| _VIM_ | !medibuntu | 01:24 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 01:24 |
| LHC | _VIM_, ill try that now | 01:24 |
| LHC | _2 thanks | 01:24 |
| Dartel | Ubuntu did restricted extras just for my wireless | 01:24 |
| rgotten | ubottu: please explain your comment since i am new into this, i am trying to find why everybody likes ebox compare with webmin, i have play with the 2 and it seems that webmin is more complete and friendly, i am a newby and since _answered Webmin, i was trying to get more information, i did not know that that was such a bad think, anyway, can somebody help me clarify | 01:24 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:24 |
| LHC | _VIM_, does that give me all the codecs | 01:25 |
| _VIM_ | LHC: Most of the more popular ones, I donno bout "all" of them though... | 01:25 |
| looter | how do i know which desktop environment i'm using? | 01:25 |
| LHC | ahh | 01:25 |
| LHC | thanks for that! | 01:25 |

| ZiRiS | mib_e3nmyp: ooooo! good question. I don't know, perhaps someone else does? | 01:31 |
| Dartel | also under SYSTEM there is a "about Gnome" in mine should be in yours | 01:31 |
| kjell | mib_e3nmyp: If you run Windows you can install it through there and still have windows on the computer. | 01:31 |

| _VIM_ | LHC: , yep | 01:31 |
| LHC | kk | 01:31 |

| _VIM_ | yeah no caps with apps | 01:31 |
| kjell | mib_e3nmyp: Wubi does it. Although I think ubuntu came with an official application? | 01:31 |
| Dartel | VLC rocks | 01:31 |
| ZiRiS | mib_e3nmyp: go get the iso, install alcohol (if in windows presently) and then run it, it will allow you to install from within windows, without rebooting. | 01:32 |
| _VIM_ | good catch -2 | 01:32 |
| LHC | kk _2 | 01:32 |
| _VIM_ | _2 even | 01:32 |
| mib_e3nmyp | I am currently running a dual boot if Vista and XP and would like to delete Vista ( I knwo you guys can't help out there) and dual boot ubuntu and xp if possible | 01:32 |
| kjell | ZiRiS: Ah, so the ISO contains the windows-installer aswell? | 01:32 |

| LHC | how come you can just type a programs name and it goes installs it, are these files hosted on ubuntu's own servers | 01:32 |
| ZiRiS | mib_e3nmyp: I'm a windows expert, ubuntu newB | 01:32 |
| ZiRiS | pm | 01:32 |
| freazer | mib_e3nymp: that's easy, use a LiveCD and Gparted (System -> Administration -> Partition Editor) and just delete the Vista partition. the installer will then let you guide through to install Ubuntu on the free partition | 01:32 |
| fearful | Windows blows really | 01:33 |
| fearful | lol | 01:33 |

| _2 | fearful or use wubi | 01:34 |
| kjell | Jungle_Man: I'd use 3 | 01:34 |
| fearful | Or use wubi | 01:34 |
| mib_e3nmyp | and can I delete Vista from XP | 01:34 |
| ZiRiS | mib_e3nmyp: install Alcohol 120% and then mount the iso, run the official app, and you're good, however, I would suggest another method than using the linux app to delete the partition | 01:34 |
| rgotten | can anybody expalin to me how is an easy way to follow this irc, i am a newby and is hard to follow any question posted here | 01:34 |
| _2 | !wubi | 01:34 |
| ubottu | 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. | 01:34 |
| The_Rebel | a frontend would be nice.. | 01:34 |
| freazer | No help for my question above? I just want to tell dpkg to forget about configuring initramfs-tools, I've already ran LILO -H and it's fine now - so I can continue on installing other packages | 01:34 |
| _VIM_ | LHC: hmm no clue lol | 01:35 |
| LHC | haha | 01:35 |
| _2 | The_Rebel a frount end for the mount command... </rolls eyes> | 01:35 |
| fearful | mib_e3nmyp: I would suggest you try installing it through wubi, and I would download MagicISO instead, free and specifically to mount images. | 01:35 |
| rgotten | ubottu: do you want me to close the PM | 01:35 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:35 |
| mib_e3nmyp | ZiRiS: but when I do that won,t my boot order be screwed? | 01:35 |
| chalcedony | I'm trying to backup my files to upgrade to 8.10. does this mean that these are in root? http://paste.ubuntu.com/115836/ | 01:35 |

| Dartel | rgotten: Gets ruff, I was a Channel admin so used to fast scrolling | 01:36 |
| mib_e3nmyp | ok, so fearful: last question, do you know how to delete the vista partition from xp | 01:36 |
| mib_e3nmyp | without corrupting the boot order | 01:36 |
| mib_e3nmyp | bcz when I do that b4 I cant boot into XP anymore | 01:36 |

| ZiRiS | mib_e3nmyp: check your pm | 01:36 |
| rgotten | Dartel: i am 78 year old who is trying to learn all this new technology, i can bet you is not easy | 01:36 |
| Kryzler | Dartel how come "was" an admin, not "is" an admin? | 01:36 |
| mib_e3nmyp | sorry, checking pm | 01:37 |

| _2 | mib_e3nmyp maybe you could just change the partition type and format it to something linux could use ? just a thought. | 01:37 |
| drash | chalcedony: the paste indicates these files are in /var and owned by root yes | 01:37 |

| Jungle_Man | How to use grub if I install Ubuntu before XP | 01:37 |
| * The_Rebel mounts _2's backend | 01:37 | |
| seam0nster | why! | 01:37 |
| zcat[1] | !grub | 01:37 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 01:37 |
| Dartel | rgotten: LOL Age and technology are wonderful companions both need patience | 01:37 |
| Jungle_Man | It cannot boot | 01:38 |
| freazer | Jungle_Man: use a LiveCD to reinstall GRUB into the MBR | 01:38 |
| drash | chalcedony: you're welcome ... try running your backup routine with sudo (or gksudo for GUI app) and you're good to go | 01:38 |
| zcat[1] | pretty easy to put grub back. tricky part is setting it up to boot windows afterwards. if you install windows first that gets done for you | 01:38 |
| seam0nster | thanks anyway :( | 01:38 |
| Jungle_Man | Thanks | 01:38 |
| Dartel | Kryzler: Was several years ago and not on a Linux Channel but still a busy one | 01:38 |
| Kryzler | I see | 01:38 |
| xenocide21 | how does apt-get work? | 01:39 |
| _2 | zcat[1] tricky ? | 01:39 |
| xenocide21 | *is used to SourceMage* | 01:39 |
| freazer | Nobody knows how to get rid of this silly dpkg --configure -a issue? I thought you all said Windows was trash but I've never had an automatic update cause this much trouble! | 01:39 |
| zcat[1] | less-easy than having the installer do it for you. | 01:39 |
| _2 | !apt | xenocide21 | 01:39 |
| ubottu | xenocide21: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 01:39 |

| Dartel | Kryzler: Was several years ago and not on a Linux Channel but still a busy onewhat are you using to access IRC now? | 01:40 |
| chalcedony | rgotten: my best friend on undernet is 73, can you accept msg? | 01:40 |
| zcat[1] | rgotten: use an irc client that highlights messages with your name in them.. | 01:41 |
| Dartel | GRRrr | 01:41 |
| Safe | It can't matter if I have 32bit or 64bit version if I'm having connection troubles, right? | 01:41 |
| Kryzler | Dartel I'm using xchat | 01:41 |
| Kryzler | why do you ask? | 01:41 |
| chalcedony | i use xchat | 01:41 |
| rgotten | zcat[1] any examples | 01:41 |
| zcat[1] | xchat | 01:41 |
| Dartel | Same here | 01:42 |
| endeavormac | does interpid come with gnome dock? | 01:42 |
| drash | freazer: have you read through "man dpkg" to check if there's a relevant option for your predicament ? | 01:42 |
| Kryzler | I like making pointless custom commands in xchat | 01:42 |
| The_Rebel | rock out with your dock out. | 01:42 |
| Jungle_Man | Chose Ubuntu 32 or 64 if I have Intel dual core | 01:42 |
| rgotten | zcat[1]: is it free? | 01:42 |
| kindofabuzz | lawl | 01:42 |
| Dartel | Was a Mistake actually I ment to direct to rgotten | 01:42 |
| The_Rebel | and no it doesn't | 01:42 |
| lstarnes | rgotten: almost everything on ubuntu is free | 01:42 |
| endeavormac | well why when i apt-get install gnome-dock, it tells me it's already installed? | 01:42 |
| _2 | anyone know if it's possable to mount an audio cd ? | 01:42 |
| zcat[1] | freazer: so sudo dpkg --configure -a isn't fixing the problem? | 01:42 |
| The_Rebel | wait.. i think your talking about a different dock.. | 01:42 |
| Zenitur | Does somebody play Worms Armageddon? | 01:43 |
| The_Rebel | i thought you meant gnome-do's dock.. | 01:43 |
| _2 | rgotten free as in speach and free as in beer | 01:43 |
| endeavormac | wait nvm | 01:43 |
| tsrk | what does a backslash after a command do? | 01:43 |
| Dartel | Is Xchat as macro friendly as mIRC? | 01:43 |
| The_Rebel | which is still a work in progress i thinks.. | 01:43 |
| tsrk | like "man ls \" | 01:43 |
| lstarnes | Dartel: xchat does have scripting | 01:43 |
| The_Rebel | awn-dock is the best i can find | 01:43 |
| rgotten | Dartel: that is what i am trying to do with a lot of pacience | 01:43 |
| lstarnes | Dartel: however, I personally think irssi has the best irc scripting | 01:43 |
| Kryzler | tsrk in thatsense it does nothing | 01:44 |
| xmedex | hello world | 01:44 |
| zcat[1] | freazer: have got myself into situations like that before.. can't remember how I found my way out though | 01:44 |
| freazer | drash: I just did dpkg -r -a and despite not doing what the man page says it does (it was not pending to be removed, it was pending installation) dpkg --configure -a is now saying nothing - which is what I wanted, thanks | 01:44 |
| _2 | tsrk bash: command " not found | 01:44 |
| arghh2d2 | tsrk: i think it waits for more input | 01:44 |
| tsrk | Kryzler, no, it did something, it just gave me a prompt that said ">" instead of opening the man page | 01:44 |
| rgotten | so who can help me to compare ebox from webmin | 01:44 |

| erisco | I am having huge problems with wireless. After an arbitrary amount of time, but often, I am completely unable to access anything on my network as though I was disconnected. However, Ubuntu still states that I am indeed connected. After disconnecting and reconnecting the connection comes back. what is going on? | 01:44 |
| Kryzler | trsk, that > probably means that you'c | 01:44 |
| chalcedony | xmedex: try asking a question instead of just saying hi :) | 01:44 |
| drash | freazer: odd indeed, yw | 01:45 |
| freazer | zcat[1]: thanks for the assurance ^^ it's a known bug with dpkg and update-initramfs with a partially functioning raid array - there's no way to pass the -H parameter that it insists on to continue the installation. I'm slowly muddling through | 01:45 |
| _2 | tsrk what exactly are you trying to do ? | 01:45 |
| Kryzler | *you've altered the directory >.< | 01:45 |
| arghh2d2 | tsrk: somtin like that, the command preceding the backslash affect your options at the > | 01:45 |
| tsrk | _2, i accidently added a backslash and wanted to know what it's doing | 01:45 |
| tsrk | arghh2d2, ok | 01:45 |
| _2 | tsrk ok press ctrl+d | 01:45 |

| vVvHACKERvVv | uglie: it records to .ogv, use DeVeDe to encode to AVI or mencoder | 02:00 |

| Dartel | MoTec LOL | 02:04 |
| fearful | _2: Its an audio CD It should mount automatically to a player. | 02:04 |
| MoTec | vVvHACKERvVv: did you use aircrack or something different? | 02:04 |
| Hok30 | I tried to install Ubuntu - it failed. So I tried to install WinXP, it failed also. Now when I start up, I get an error that says "NTLDR is missing" and it asks me to restart. I have the Ubuntu CD in, and windows tried to install, but it failed. | 02:04 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Motec: yes aircrack-ng | 02:05 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | works great | 02:05 |
| MoTec | Yep, good stuff | 02:05 |
| ugliefrog | excellent works perfectly | 02:05 |
| _2 | fearful you don't mount an audio cd to play it. i would like to mount it if it is possable. | 02:05 |

| s1amson | yea... that defiantly makes you a hacker | 02:05 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | you can thank me later | 02:05 |
| Hok30 | Hello? | 02:05 |
| vkumar | Hok30: your best hope is to get a new ubuntu CD and install it | 02:05 |
| _2 | fearful but i'm not aware of any way to mount an audio cd | 02:05 |
| ugliefrog | thank you | 02:05 |
| MoTec | Hok30: If you want to install windows again, use the ubuntu cd.. Get to the point where you can partition the drive, and then remove all partitions. | 02:05 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | slam: I didn't say it did | 02:05 |
| _2 | fearful that's why i asked. | 02:05 |
| fernandof | help "Unable to start backend "hp" - No such file or directory." | 02:05 |
| fearful | _2: I'm not either, but I'm also not sure your intension while mounting it, I thought it was for listening to it | 02:05 |
| Hok30 | MoTec: I tried, but whenever I try to boot I get an error. | 02:06 |
| MoTec | After you commit those changes and reboot XP will be able to install. | 02:06 |
| Hok30 | MoTec: I can't get past the start of booting =( | 02:06 |
| Dartel | Booting from CD? | 02:06 |
| MoTec | You can't boot the ubuntu CD? | 02:06 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: Is your bios set to boot the cd before any other device? | 02:06 |
| _2 | fearful maybe i want to break a copy right paten law thingy or something. | 02:06 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | slamson: you are more than welcome to put your wits against mine. | 02:06 |
| ugliefrog | what was the name of the file converter | 02:07 |
| _2 | fearful it really doesn't matter why i want to mount it.. | 02:07 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | ugliefrog: deVeDe or mencoder | 02:07 |
| Dartel | That was my question LOL make me feel useless | 02:07 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | if you are new to this use DeVeDe | 02:07 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: I have no idea. How do I change it? | 02:07 |
| ugliefrog | VVvHACKERvVv: thank you sir | 02:07 |

| vVvHACKERvVv | noon: no | 02:08 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: ? | 02:08 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: Usually when you boot there will be a message similar to "Press DEL to enter setup". That will take you into your bios. From there you can set your device boot order. | 02:08 |
| Dartel | Hok30: When you boot the computer there is a msg hit <what ever key to enter Bios | 02:08 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Is it under the setup Utility? | 02:08 |

| Hok30 | OK good | 02:09 |
| MoTec | luckyone: you could set a crontab to run rsync | 02:09 |
| Hok30 | I found it | 02:09 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: Setup utility? Maybe. | 02:09 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Yeah, it goes HD then CD | 02:09 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | slamson: you didn't give me a chance to explain that I had to reprogram the application to use my wireless device. also I had to reprogram it to grab proper transient keys while cracking WPA | 02:09 |
| xenocide21 | Kubuntu doesnt run so well on my system, sucks up too much resources, will Xubuntu run better likely? | 02:09 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: Reverse that if you can. | 02:09 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: To CD then HD? | 02:10 |
| luckyone | MoTec: was hoping it would be a little more instant than that | 02:10 |
| MoTec | xenocide21: yes. xubuntu uses less resources | 02:10 |
| s1amson | vVvHACKERvVv, and you didnt realise im joking about your nick. | 02:10 |
| fearful | xenocide21: Yes it surely will Xubuntu is made for less resources | 02:10 |

| titaniumtux | PII is old school | 02:10 |
| xenocide21 | kubuntu sucks up so much just running the base system | 02:10 |
| _2 | fearful yeah, that's the driving force behind my search really "they said it can't be done" so i set out to find a way. just thought the last place that one might find it was the first place i would look. | 02:10 |
| xenocide21 | its what i have right now | 02:10 |
| s1amson | i am. deal with it mmk. | 02:10 |
| MoTec | heh, i run an AMD Geode LX :) | 02:10 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | slamson: I just want to educate people on Linux/UNIX, I want more people to use it | 02:10 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Dang. I get the same error. | 02:10 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | thats whY i am here | 02:10 |
| MoTec | Because I'm cool like that :) | 02:10 |

| luckyone | Atom running here :) | 02:11 |
| s1amson | so do i. it doesnt mean your nick isnt a bit funny :P | 02:11 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: The ubuntu setup cd is in the drive right? | 02:11 |
| s1amson | 'least to me. | 02:11 |

| zer0o | hi guys is there anyone who knows a bit about skype? | 02:12 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I get a kick out of it | 02:12 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Well I do... Should I disable the HD bootup? | 02:12 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Or just make it second to CD? | 02:12 |
| Dartel | Well Hacker I am a new user of Linux and from what I seen so far a permanant one as well | 02:12 |
| s1amson | didnt think you were the joking type :] | 02:12 |
| MoTec | if you are seeing an ntldr error it's not booting off of the cd. | 02:12 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Dartel: excellet | 02:12 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Oh... I think I know why. | 02:12 |
| graelin | Can anyone help me with a mouse probplem in Virtualbox 2.1.2? Everything is working happily... except the mouse | 02:12 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: Yes, you should boot the CD first, then the HD. | 02:12 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Dartel: I will answer any Q you have | 02:12 |
| fearful | zer0o: I can help with skype | 02:12 |
| _2 | Jungle_Man yes. a linux installation is possable with as little as 100m hdd space but not ubuntu, ubuntu needs about 500m for a server install | 02:12 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: It says the CD-ROM device is not installed | 02:13 |
| Hok30 | O_O | 02:13 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: That would make sense. | 02:13 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Yeah. How do I fix that? | 02:13 |
| fearful | zer0o: What's your problem? | 02:13 |
| Dartel | I am done questioning for the night, This system is so old it wond hold or handle much more... I need to remove some packages soon | 02:14 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Oh yea, for those if you with broadcom wireless cards, I am in the midst of writing drivers that will work with kisemt and the aircrack suite | 02:14 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: Not sure. Are all the cables connected inside the box? | 02:14 |
| prahal | freazer, sorry that s why I told <the channel we were in> not #ubuntu at first | 02:14 |
| _2 | Dartel how old ? | 02:14 |

| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Eh. I don't know. It worked yesterday, before I tried to install Windows. Then I got a STOP error in the middle of the insatllation. | 02:14 |
| stupidwhiteman | hi all, my computer keeps crashing, and it wont boot up 60% of the time, I can't open a browser, I can run xchat for a while before it crashes. On boot up, I see things like "Kernel Panic : attempting to kill the idle task" I have a boot CD, but it crashes during that too! | 02:15 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Freakin windows. | 02:15 |
| freazer | prahal: Thanks anyway ^^ goodness that was hard not to be construed as pure hostility | 02:15 |
| freazer | So much for "At this point you will find yourself among the friendly crowd of #debian inhabitants." ... | 02:15 |
| Dartel | It is a sauger laptop 256 ram S3 Virge M+ Video and a whopping 6 gig HD and plain CD no burner | 02:15 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: Doesn't sound like windows "caused" your problem. Just discovered it for you. I'm pretty sure it's just a hardware issue.. | 02:15 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | man people just GET RID of windows | 02:15 |
| Dartel | came origionally with Windows ME | 02:15 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | period | 02:15 |
| KevDog | b43 drivers already work with aircrack | 02:16 |
| Dartel | No 98 | 02:16 |
| _2 | freazer heh. | 02:16 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Really? Even though it was working before I tried to install windows? You think the cable just came out or something? | 02:16 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | KevDog: not for internal Dell vostro 1510 | 02:16 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | trust me on this | 02:16 |
| KevDog | what's the chipset? | 02:16 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Intel | 02:16 |
| _2 | freazer debian != ubuntu | 02:16 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: I don't think your cable just disconnected itself, no. I think your cd drive just crapped out. | 02:16 |
| Hok30 | vVvHACKERvVv: I'm trying O_o | 02:16 |
| Dartel | Ty Freazer | 02:16 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: So what should I do... | 02:16 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Hok30: good keep itup | 02:17 |
| prahal | freazer, mind you abrotman is one of the best hackers and help for more than 10 years on debian channels ... only ubuntu people are not that easy to deal with and with time it went from a gap to that attitude | 02:17 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | yea | 02:17 |
| maco | prahal: its possible that your nvidia drivers are corrupting things on resume. my friend's laptop did that on intrepid. works fine in jauty though. | 02:17 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: Hit it with a hammer? No, do you have a spare cdrom to hook up? | 02:17 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Fraid not. | 02:17 |
| maco | prahal: almost warned you, but if you use sid, jaunty shouldn't be anything to worry about | 02:17 |
| prahal | freazer, so what was the things after dpkg -r -a ? | 02:18 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Theres nothing I can do? | 02:18 |
| Dartel | Trying to decide if its worth upgrading the memory to 512 and a DVD drive or dump it soon as I can afford a better laptop | 02:18 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | freazer: i will help you here, I do not do provate chats | 02:18 |
| prahal | maco, ?? | 02:18 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | private* | 02:18 |
| KevDog | Go buy an Atheros card then -- don't re-invent the wheel | 02:18 |
| prahal | I am using intel drivers | 02:18 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: You can install ubuntu off a usb drive/key? Have one of those? | 02:18 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | KevDog: the point is not to buy anything new | 02:18 |
| maco | prahal: you were asking before about hibernate corrupting initramfs or something? oh intel. ok i have no idea then. | 02:18 |
| Hok30 | Hm | 02:18 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | but to use what we already have | 02:18 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: I used to. | 02:19 |
| _2 | KevDog reccomending ath ? | 02:19 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: If I bought one do you think that;d work | 02:19 |
| furqon | fff | 02:19 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: If I just wrote the files to the USB stick? | 02:19 |
| furqon | apaa aku ra dong | 02:19 |
| Zombie_Gaz | Last time... I'm using 'gnome-terminal' and need to display ansi characters... can anyone help me with that? | 02:19 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: if you going to buy something, get a new drive. | 02:19 |
| prahal | and I do not have corruption on resume ... only suspend does not happens correctly (first stage that is suspending itself . Resuming is another story I ll look afterwards | 02:19 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I refuse to pay for new hardware when I can write a driver for an existing on | 02:19 |
| KevDog | I'm not saying I told you so, however when you bought your equipment, you should have done some research --- like anything else -- get compatible hardware -- live Nvidia > ATI (not starting a flame war here!) | 02:19 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: lol, but that costs 4x as much as a usb stick. | 02:19 |
| prahal | maco, yes thanks . Only I left and get back so I wondered if you where talking about that :) | 02:20 |
| _2 | KevDog maybe it's the ati chip on my ath card that makes it suck so hard. | 02:20 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: and I don't wanna screw it up when I hook it up | 02:20 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | KevDog: stop assuming, this laptop was purchased by my company I had no choice | 02:20 |
| _2 | maybe ? | 02:20 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | now I will make it work | 02:20 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | simple as that | 02:20 |
| KevDog | If you can write a driver -- you are a much better man than me and I will give you a lot of credit :) | 02:20 |
| freazer | prahal, vVvHACKERvVv: Suppose I try apt-get install firefox --> 1 not fully installed or removed. --> Setting up initramfs-tools (0.85eubuntu39.3) ... --> Fatal: Not all RAID-1 disks are active; use '-H' to install to active disks only | 02:20 |
| maco | prahal: i used /lastlog in an attempt to find the earlier message about "channel we are in" that you referenced a few moments ago | 02:20 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: So that's the only thing I can do? | 02:20 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | KevDog: its what I do at my job | 02:20 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: If so, thanks for the help =) | 02:20 |
| KevDog | ati chip or atheros card? | 02:20 |
| freazer | prahal, vVvHACKERvVv: the joke is, I plugged the disk back in and did mdadm --assemble --scan , it's back and assembled and everything is fine! but it's still saying that not all RAID disks are active!! | 02:21 |
| _2 | yep | 02:21 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: It's really not that hard to install a new cdrom drive. And you can buy one for $20 US. | 02:21 |
| KevDog | Cool -- well I'm sure a lot of people will be extremely happy | 02:21 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | KevDog: thats my hope | 02:21 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: I'll look into it | 02:21 |
| Hok30 | w4g3n3r: Thanks a bunch though :) | 02:21 |
| KevDog | which intel chipset are you going to address specifically? | 02:21 |
| w4g3n3r | Hok30: Sure, sorry we couldn't get it working. | 02:21 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | my job is to get as many people to use Linux/UNIX productively as possible | 02:22 |
| freazer | prahal, vVvHACKERvVv: I can run lilo -H and it installs just fine. But dpkg thinks it isn't! | 02:22 |
| KevDog | Hmm, I like aircrack however I'm not sure if it falls in the productivity camp (still thinking about this!) | 02:22 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | freazer: what exactly are you trying to do | 02:22 |
| kindofabuzz | I've tried Linux Mint, Fedora, Crunchbang, openSuse, Arch and a few more. i've settled back on ubuntu. ubuntu I love you! =) | 02:22 |
| Dartel | Who makes the Dynex wirless cards? Dynex or they slap thier name to a pre made item? | 02:22 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | KevDog: this will serve other purposes as well not simply aircrack | 02:22 |
| _2 | freazer you use lilo by choice ? | 02:22 |
| stupidwhiteman | hi all, my computer keeps crashing, and it wont boot up 60% of the time, I can't open a browser, I can run xchat for a while before it crashes. On boot up, I see things like "Kernel Panic : attempting to kill the idle task" I have a boot CD, but it crashes during that too! | 02:23 |
| KevDog | Tried bt2 | 02:23 |
| KevDog | tried bt2? | 02:23 |
| freazer | _2: What's wrong with LILO? It is the _DEFAULT_ boot manager when using the Ubuntu 8.04 alternate install CD when using software RAID. Drop the elitist attitude!! | 02:23 |
| freazer | _2: Besides, this is an update-initramfs and initramfstools problem, and has nothing to do with LILO! | 02:23 |
| _2 | freazer only reason i asked, i used to have to use lilo because grub was too weak, but what grub couldn't do grub2 can. | 02:23 |
| kindofabuzz | stupidwhiteman, your memory or hard drives could be failing | 02:23 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | freazer: I don't believe I have an elitist attitude | 02:24 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | ar eyou referring to me | 02:24 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | ? | 02:24 |
| stupidwhiteman | thanks kindofabuzz | 02:24 |
| ari_stress | hi guys, i've just shared a folder using nautilus, where does it keep the config? i check in /etc/samba, there's none related | 02:24 |

| kindofabuzz | hehe | 02:24 |
| freazer | vVvHACKERvVv: my "elitist" message was directed towards _2, not you -------- what exactly am I trying to do? I'm trying to be able to use my package manager again. I just try to do apt-get install firefox and it says "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." | 02:24 |
| prince_jammys | S4nD3r: oopsey | 02:25 |

| === cary_ is now known as Commie_Cary | ||

| KevDog | What happens when you run: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 02:26 |
| arghh2d2 | seam0nster: biological error between the chair and the keyboard? | 02:26 |
| kindofabuzz | anyone know why NFS does not automount even thought it's in fstab and works when mount -a i sran? | 02:26 |
| fearful | KevDog: Fixes errors on the package manager | 02:26 |
| Kryzler | seam0nster: pebkac == problem exists between keyboard and chair | 02:26 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | kindo: is the a flag specified for auto moun | 02:27 |
| freazer | _2, fearful: sudo dpkg --configure -a -> yields: Fatal: Not all RAID-1 disks are active; use '-H' to install to active disks only | 02:27 |
| freazer | dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 02:27 |
| freazer | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) | 02:27 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | t | 02:27 |
| KevDog | Sorry, I meant that to freazer -- meaning I wanted him to do as it said! | 02:27 |
| seam0nster | i am just following instructions, exaclty as they are written, terminal always has a problem | 02:27 |
| fearful | freazer: sudo dpkg -reconfigure -a | 02:27 |
| freazer | fearful: dpkg does not recognize -reconfigure .. I've tried -- and no - as well | 02:28 |
| ezerhoden | kindofabuzz: i have never used nfs but i have heard many complaints about having thing mount properly, boot order, and things related | 02:28 |
| _2 | freazer so you will have to either edit the script to call lilo with -H or bypass that function. | 02:28 |
| KevDog | why are you installing firefox anyways - doesn't this come by default | 02:28 |
| fernandof | thx all | 02:28 |
| fernandof | Goodnight | 02:28 |
| kdorf | Well, seam0nster, given that the instructions you're reading have probably worked for lots of other people, it's easy to conclude that pebkac. | 02:28 |

| storrgie | I would like to use evolution on two machines, but I want to be able to have the same contacts/emails etc... can I use unison to sync the .evolution directory? | 02:29 |
| freazer | _2: can you tell me where to look for that script? I've looked in /etc/initramfstools and /var/lib/dpkg/info/initramfs ... | 02:29 |
| kindofabuzz | ezerhoden, yeah i mean it works fine like i said but i have to do a mount -a, it never automounts even though its in fstab, i may look into autofs | 02:29 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | any python programmers here? | 02:29 |
| seam0nster | okay kdorf you tell me what i could of possibly done wrong in the following, gimme 2 mins to type | 02:29 |
| kdorf | dibblego: kopete (is for KDE though) | 02:29 |
| prince_jammys | freazer: though i doubt you need to run that, anyway. | 02:29 |
| dibblego | kdorf, thanks | 02:29 |
| kindofabuzz | vVvHACKERvVv, i'm just learning python as we speak | 02:29 |
| ezerhoden | dibblego: there is, but i think it comes with pidgin | 02:29 |
| KevDog | dibblego: gajim? | 02:29 |
| * vVvHACKERvVv loves python | 02:29 | |
| TuxSympathiser | Does anyone understand how ACPI works | 02:29 |
| jrib | vVvHACKERvVv: best to just ask your question, but if it's specific to python, you should ask #python | 02:29 |
| ezerhoden | dibblego: another bird name? i can't recall | 02:30 |
| kdorf | dibblego: if you're looking for something command line, there's centerIM too | 02:30 |
| _2 | freazer the most simple way would be to move the update-lilo script out of /usr/sbin/ and link /bin/true to where it was, then run the --configure again. but don't forget to undo the workaround | 02:30 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | jrib: I do not have a python problem | 02:30 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | it was a conversation starter | 02:30 |
| fearful | freazer: sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride and delete the postfix line | 02:30 |
| kindofabuzz | well they don't like conversations here either unless it a linux question | 02:30 |
| jrib | vVvHACKERvVv: this channel is just for support. #ubuntu-offtopic for other (more fun) conversations :) | 02:30 |
| KevDog | Ive never used python | 02:30 |

| KevDog | Its too bad for me too! | 02:31 |
| S4nD3r | Hi there. I needed to re-install in my laptop. Now, grub disapears. What to do? | 02:31 |
| kindofabuzz | yeah because typing /join #channel is hard | 02:31 |
| Kryzler | vVvHACKERvVv: or #defocus for more general socialising | 02:31 |
| Kryzler | heh | 02:31 |
| Kryzler | in xchat you can get away with just /j #channel | 02:31 |
| S4nD3r | I used fdisk -l to see my partitions | 02:31 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | kindofabbuzz: Oh is that how you change channels, I was trying to point and click somewhere | 02:31 |

| TuxSympathiser | I need some help with my acpi | 02:42 |
| oDesk | so if firehol is uninstalled, why i can't ping my Ubuntu laptop ? | 02:42 |
| fearful | austin_: Sorry someone else might be of assistance don't know much of graphics drivers mine simply works... :S | 02:42 |
| freazer | prahal: I found that error and that's why I went to #debian! | 02:42 |
| h00k | I am having some lag problems with Docky (nVidia 177.82, x86_64 kernel), has anyone had problems with Docky lagging? | 02:42 |
| Droopsta915 | how do i open a movie with vlc | 02:42 |
| seam0nster | alright, i should mention that my only usb 2.0 port is in use providing me with internet via wireless modem | 02:42 |
| _2 | freazer ummm then you already have moved it out of your path. if the dpkg command didn't error out you can now put it back where it was and you should be fixed. | 02:42 |
| h00k | Droopsta915: right click -> Open with VLC | 02:42 |
| maurer | prince_jammys: That doesn't seem to have dumped anything in /usr/include/ | 02:42 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | usb 2.0 is irrelevant | 02:42 |
| austin_ | fearful: :[ any idea where i can get better help, or different drivers | 02:42 |
| seam0nster | good | 02:42 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | check again | 02:42 |
| xtian_ | ? | 02:42 |
| fearful | austin_: Here | 02:42 |
| seam0nster | checking | 02:43 |
| austin_ | fearful: yes? | 02:43 |
| fearful | austin_: Just not with me, someone else will have to help you with it. | 02:43 |
| prince_jammys | maurer: in my system: linux-libc-dev: /usr/include/asm/page.h | 02:43 |
| prahal | freazer, yup anyway the solution is unknown there too (no comments) mostly I bet because lilo is getting abandonned since two years ago (when grub2 dev started) | 02:43 |
| seam0nster | it's stil the same -_- | 02:43 |
| fearful | austin_: State your problem again, I'm sure someone here can help | 02:43 |
| freazer | prahal: I just tried your -plow lilo command and I'm still having the issue | 02:43 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | seam0nster: what we are going to do is get kismet and install it, this will assist the process | 02:43 |
| prince_jammys | maurer: dpkg -S asm/page.h | 02:43 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | sudo apt-get install kismet | 02:43 |
| seam0nster | i have it installed | 02:43 |
| seam0nster | well | 02:44 |
| seam0nster | i have it anyway | 02:44 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | good open the cofnig | 02:44 |
| h00k | I am having some lag problems with Docky (nVidia 177.82, x86_64 kernel), has anyone had problems with Docky lagging, and/or any ideas how to fix it? Else, I'll just stick with AWN and use gnome-do | 02:44 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | config | 02:44 |
| seam0nster | i havent used it | 02:44 |
| maurer | prince_jammys: ppu-sysroot: /usr/lib/cell/sysroot/usr/include/asm/page.h | 02:44 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I know you get an error | 02:44 |
| maurer | Seems to dump it elsewhere for that program. | 02:44 |
| maurer | Think it's safe to just copy it over? | 02:44 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I 've been there | 02:44 |
| Safe | If I uninstall network-manager, it wont remove any settings (resolv.conf for example)? | 02:44 |
| seam0nster | how do i go about opening the config (sorry) | 02:44 |
| freazer | prahal: is there a way to uninstall lilo and switch to grub or grub2? my /boot is wrapped inside an md0 mdadm raid mirror partition, and inside that further is an LVM2 of several partitions. the whole reason i used LILO was to be able to boot - it's the default way the Ubuntu 8.04 alternate CD installed my system | 02:44 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | ok lets open a terminal seamonster | 02:44 |
| Droopsta915 | hook: All I see is open with movie player. I don't see vlc. I do have it installed | 02:44 |
| seam0nster | okay | 02:45 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I use pico, so type suco pico -w /etc/kismet/kismet.conf | 02:45 |
| prince_jammys | maurer: i don't know what you're doing, but that dpkg command will show packages that have installed that file | 02:45 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | sudo* | 02:45 |
| _2 | freazer just install grub2 NOTE it is a little different, you configure it in /etc/defaults/grub | 02:45 |
| prahal | freazer, I cannot tell you about that (did not use md nor lvm yet) | 02:45 |
| seam0nster | okay cool | 02:46 |
| seam0nster | aload of stuff is up | 02:46 |
| austin_ | so yah, anyone know anything about graphic drivers? If i don't get this situated soon, i'ma have to switch back to windows -_- | 02:46 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | now read me line number 33 | 02:46 |
| seam0nster | looks nice to see that it looks asif somthings working | 02:46 |
| prahal | though I may be able to take _2 example a step further . Did his tweak changed the error message ? | 02:46 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | to ge tyour line number in pico type contorl+c | 02:46 |
| zurn | http://paste.ubuntu.com/115843/plain/ | 02:47 |
| seam0nster | the only thing i see that seems relvent is Read 337 lines | 02:47 |
| austin_ | Anyone know anything about graphic driver support? | 02:47 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | you have to scroll sown | 02:47 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | user your arrow keys | 02:47 |
| zurn | im sure that there have been several questions about this - do we need to worry about the unix time thing? the article says that it is fixed in linux... | 02:47 |
| MoTec | unix time will work fine, even past the epoch. | 02:47 |
| MoTec | 1234567890 is coming in a week or so... Nothing to be concerned about. | 02:48 |
| prahal | freazer, you should take a look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/lilo.postinst | 02:48 |
| freazer | _2, prahal, vVvHACKERvVv: please look at http://pastebin.com/m40a5e298 - this is a joke. I can't even install grub2 my system is completely crippled by this problem!! | 02:48 |
| MoTec | Unless the world ends, of course.. Then it might have been something worth worrying about. | 02:48 |
| kdorf | MoTec: How do you figure unix time will work fine when it overflows its data type? | 02:48 |
| prahal | and add the -H switch | 02:48 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | freazer: I will take a look | 02:48 |
| zurn | but when playing around with the number, and can get it to go to Tue May 17 23:33:19 2033 | 02:48 |
| MoTec | kdorf: it's not going to overflow for some time, yet. | 02:48 |
| zurn | and thats 19999999 | 02:48 |
| chu_ | Hi - I have a problem with power management, I've asked the question a few times on the Ubuntu help forums, but no responses. | 02:49 |
| Javier17 | hello, i use ubuntu 8.04 hardy...i'm having some troubles playing and burning dvds.. as well as hearing musci cds... the thing is that in ubuntu 8.10 and in XP i'm able to do that freely,, i've checked the forums, and the lead i've got is this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=852673 can somebody help me with this.. thanks | 02:49 |
| fearful | freazer: If nothing is working, why don't you completely backup your system and re-install that will surely fix the problem | 02:49 |
| kdorf | MoTec: Well of course not, but I don't know that was the nature of his question. | 02:49 |
| oDesk | why i can't ping my Ubuntu from windows laptop ? all at the same LAN ? btw i can ping else pc's | 02:49 |
| MoTec | 2038 is when it will overflow | 02:49 |
| MoTec | I plan to be drunk, then. | 02:49 |
| danbhfive | Javier17: if its fixed in 8.10, whats the problem? | 02:49 |
| chu_ | Basically, my laptop under 8.10 (though 8.04 worked) doesn't detected my battery, but it still runs when I pull the ac plug out. | 02:49 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | freazer: thats a big problem | 02:49 |
| freazer | fearful: how is this any better than Windows? just teasing/trolling you guys a little bit | 02:49 |
| fearful | freazer: http://www.zimbio.com/the+ubuntu+guy/articles/47/Backup+Ubuntu+Easy+Way+Command+Line > Will show you how to back up completley and restore | 02:49 |
| Javier17 | danbhfive i have problems with openoffice in 8.10 | 02:50 |
| freazer | prahal: I'm looking into that file now, thanks | 02:50 |
| hev | /server irc.islifecorp.com.br | 02:50 |
| Javier17 | danbhfive i prefer to use 8.04 | 02:50 |
| zurn | ok, thanks MoTec | 02:50 |
| danbhfive | Javier17: what problems do you have with OO? | 02:50 |
| seam0nster | vVvHACKERvVv i can't see it :( | 02:50 |
| Javier17 | danbhfive 00 | 02:50 |
| fearful | freazer: Linux, is not an easy system you have to be aware sometimes you will fail and will have to start from scratch, I think any real Linux users has had that experience | 02:50 |
| seam0nster | i looked carefully | 02:50 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | seam0nster: what cant you see | 02:50 |
| freazer | fearful: I'll look into it. my biggest concern is that my /home is on another partition, and when I reinstalled none of the users could login because they didn't have write permissions to themselves. I'll be reading that URL now | 02:50 |
| Javier17 | danbhfive ¿ | 02:50 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | ok listen | 02:50 |
| seam0nster | line 33 | 02:50 |
| austin_ | *sigh* so no one knows anything about drivers? | 02:50 |
| danbhfive | Javier17: OO = OpenOffice | 02:51 |
| Safe | austin_: If noone knows, try asking a little later. :) | 02:51 |
| ScottG489 | I just made a new swap partition because my old one was too small to hibernate. Now when I hibernate it seems to shut down normally but when I start back up its just like a normal freash startup. What could the problem be? | 02:51 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | we are are looking for the section in that file that says...sources are defined here | 02:51 |
| fearful | freazer: If your home is in another partition, it'll be even easier just install and set the boot to the new partition as /home | 02:51 |
| austin_ | ok | 02:51 |
| austin_ | gracias | 02:51 |
| khoi | hi everybody | 02:51 |
| Javier17 | danbhfive cannot open any document | 02:51 |
| seam0nster | ohhh | 02:51 |

| harushimo | I'm having probably playing dvds | 02:51 |
| Javier17 | danbhfive it duddenly closes | 02:51 |
| seam0nster | i see what u mean now.. the 33rd line ? | 02:51 |
| austin_ | whats the difference between ubuntu 64 bit and 32 bit | 02:51 |
| austin_ | is it major? | 02:51 |
| harushimo | I just put in a new dvd rom not even 3 months ago | 02:52 |
| austin_ | and are the drivers any different | 02:52 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | here is what my config says...source=rt73,wlan0,wifiHACKED | 02:52 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | you with me now | 02:52 |
| okibisan | anyone have an account on ubuntuforums? | 02:52 |

| G-Blunted | hey how do you do the cube mode in COmpiz? | 02:52 |
| seam0nster | yeah! | 02:52 |
| Safe | austin_: A good thing would also to ask about the specific problem you have. | 02:52 |
| seam0nster | 1 sec | 02:52 |
| * vVvHACKERvVv has ubuntu forum acct | 02:52 | |
| keres | is xubuntu more light weight than ubuntu? will it run better on a crappy pc? | 02:52 |

| tabidachi_ | yes keres | 02:52 |
| okibisan | can you download cxmenu.tar from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=828651 for me? | 02:52 |

| austin_ | My computer, when i install my driver for my graphics card, displays a black screen upon reboot | 02:52 |
| okibisan | it's attached to the first post | 02:52 |
| russia213 | How do you partition a drive to ntfs qith gparted? | 02:52 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | okibisan: I will download that for you after you test out a binary program for me | 02:53 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | deal? | 02:53 |
| okibisan | i tried to sign up but it threw a php error at me | 02:53 |
| Dartel | I am running Ubuntu on a pretty crappy machine no issues so far | 02:53 |
| okibisan | what binary? | 02:53 |
| prince_jammys | russia213: probably select 'primary' for type, and 'ntfs' for file system | 02:53 |
| seam0nster | # Sources are defined as: | 02:53 |
| seam0nster | ??? | 02:53 |
| Safe | austin_: I have no idea about your problem, but I've seen people in here with similiar problems. | 02:53 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | seam0nster yes | 02:53 |
| seam0nster | i havent used kismit at all | 02:53 |
| Safe | austin_: I guess you've googled it? | 02:53 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I know seam0nster | 02:53 |
| linduxed | austin_: two things, did you install with the "Restricted Drivers" dialog or by manually downloading the drivers somewhere? | 02:53 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I know your pain | 02:53 |
| seam0nster | alright.. should i pm it to you ? | 02:54 |
| austin_ | Safe: great. yah , i don't really know what to google | 02:54 |
| fearful | austin_ You can also try posting on the forums | 02:54 |
| seam0nster | :) | 02:54 |
| okibisan | what binary... | 02:54 |
| austin_ | linduxed: I did the restricted drivers | 02:54 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | okibisan: its called system check | 02:54 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | ... | 02:54 |
| linduxed | austin_: what card? | 02:54 |
| freazer | prahal: on line 69 of /var/lib/dpkg/info/lilo.postinst -- it calls /sbin/lilo ! I'm going to edit this file to call /sbin/lilo -H ! I think this might force dpkg to ignore my raid issue! | 02:54 |
| okibisan | can you please just get the file for me? lol | 02:54 |
| austin_ | linduxed: ATI...lemmi find the rest of the specs | 02:54 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | okibiasn: I was kidding | 02:55 |
| Gnea | okibisan: could you please just fix your account? | 02:55 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I would never ask you to run an unsolicited binary | 02:55 |
| okibisan | gnea: it's throwing a php error when signing up... what do you want me to do? | 02:55 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | or would I | 02:55 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | .. | 02:55 |
| austin_ | linduxed: the driver is called : ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver | 02:55 |
| prince_jammys | austin_: 'lspci' in a terminal will show you | 02:55 |
| fearful | austin_ He needs to know what YOUR graphic card is tho | 02:55 |
| Gnea | okibisan: fix it!! try pastebin'ing the actual error? | 02:55 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | seam0nster: we need to get that card working so we can add a source in kismet conf | 02:55 |
| Dartel | ask..never beg plead demand.....perhaps. | 02:56 |
| seam0nster | okay :) | 02:56 |

| seam0nster | how do we do that ? | 02:56 |
| austin_ | linduxed 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV770 [Radeon HD 4850] | 02:56 |

| ubottu | austin_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:56 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | its a process NEVEr a quick fix on Linux | 02:56 |
| freazer | quick easy question: I can ln -s /place mylink and then rm mylink and it will just remove the link, not the actual file, right? | 02:56 |
| seam0nster | great... -_- | 02:56 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | but once working, will work forever | 02:56 |
| okibisan | <vVvHACKERvVv> are you gonna get the file for me? | 02:56 |
| prahal | freazer, yes that seems the best option . to have a working install before transitioning to grub2 (which in the long term seems a good switch) | 02:56 |
| prince_jammys | freazer: yep | 02:56 |
| seam0nster | well, thats good to know | 02:57 |
| Artelus | Hey | 02:57 |
| Artelus | I have a question | 02:57 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | oki: you will ahve to wait for now I am helping seam0nster exploit wirless networks | 02:57 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | haha | 02:57 |
| austin_ | eh, i'm not very linux savy, as this is only me second install (the first one uninstalled cuz of other problems on a differnet comptuer) | 02:57 |
| Artelus | I managed to begin installing ubuntu, and it resized my windows partition and started to install it on the partition it just created, ok? | 02:57 |
| seam0nster | lol wut, exploit ? | 02:57 |
| Artelus | But it got interrupted in the middle and I had to restart my computer | 02:58 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I know exactly what you are trying to do | 02:58 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | don't lie | 02:58 |
| fearful | Artelus: In the middle of the installation? | 02:58 |
| Artelus | I formatted the new partition, but I don't know how to get ubuntu to install on that parttion | 02:58 |
| Dartel | busted | 02:58 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | you want to SEE if you can do it | 02:58 |
| Gnea | okibisan: he already told you no. if you want the file, you'll have to download it yourself. if you're unwilling to try and figure out the php error, then you're obviously up to no good. | 02:58 |
| Artelus | Yeah, in the middle of the installation | 02:58 |
| Safe | Is there a way to disable eth1? | 02:58 |
| Safe | (using eth0) | 02:58 |
| okibisan | up to no good? | 02:58 |
| austin_ | ubottu: so, is my make older or newer? | 02:58 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | safe: ifconfig eth1 down | 02:58 |
| Artelus | When I started over, there's only the option to resize the windows partition again, but I can't tell it to install to the new ex3 partition | 02:58 |
| Xeon | hi everoyne, i have a quick question regarding the dualboot of ubutnu and xp | 02:58 |

| Safe | vVvHACKERvVv: thanks. | 02:59 |
| Gnea | okibisan: i've already told you the first step. it's up to you to take it. | 02:59 |
| Artelus | So how do i do that? | 02:59 |
| austin_ | fearful: x( | 02:59 |
| fearful | Artelus: You have to choose a manual install then click the new partition and mount it as / | 02:59 |
| austin_ | fearful: do you know if my make is older or newer? | 02:59 |
| Gnea | !pastebin | 02:59 |

| Artelus | I clicked on the partition and clicked next, and there was some kind of error | 02:59 |
| fearful | austin_: Wouldn't know sorry:( | 02:59 |
| histo | !ask | Xeon | 02:59 |

| Artelus | I don't really understand | 02:59 |
| austin_ | anyone know? | 03:00 |
| fearful | Artelus: What error? | 03:00 |
| Gnea | okibisan: what's it to ya? just pastebin the error already | 03:00 |
| harushimo | anyone know how to get dvds working properly | 03:00 |
| Artelus | Like | 03:00 |
| Artelus | something about root | 03:00 |
| Safe | Btw, what is the problem when ping returns "unknown host" ? | 03:00 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | seamonter: post your iwconfig info to the PM window | 03:00 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | need a look at that | 03:00 |
| histo | Safe: you can't resolve the hostname | 03:00 |
| freazer | prahal: it didn't work!!! I'm wondering if the problem is with initramfs-tools.postinst instead? I don't see how this is a Ubuntu problem and not a Debian problem btw ... | 03:00 |
| prahal | harushimo, switch to totem-xine , add medibuntu repos | 03:00 |
| Xeon | ok, lol, well I am running XP on my whole HD and I would like to install Ubuntu, on half of it, how do I shrink my XP partition | 03:00 |
| |syockit| | Artelus: it says "root partition not formatted, might be dangerous" something? | 03:00 |
| Artelus | not really | 03:00 |
| Artelus | How to I mount it as /? | 03:01 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Xeon: just delete windows | 03:01 |
| harushimo | will that work? mplayer isn't any good or vlc | 03:01 |
| Safe | histo: And why is that? Problems with DNS? | 03:01 |
| TAC-Mod | Running Apache2 webserver need help with creating authenticated login | 03:01 |
| fearful | Artelus: It will give you an option that says mount to and a drop list, click the / | 03:01 |
| harushimo | the dvd plays but it comes out choppy | 03:01 |
| freazer | I think I'm just going to rm -rf / and see what happens | 03:01 |
| Xeon | uhh, why would I want to do that? I need it for compatibilty reasons and gaming | 03:01 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | TAC: apache is my speciality also | 03:01 |
| histo | Safe: mostlikely try resolving the hostname first. something like dig www.address your trying to ping.com | 03:01 |
| prahal | freazer, this is also a debian pb but hey the only way to prove this point is to resolve it :-/ | 03:01 |
| histo | Safe: then see if you can ping that ip | 03:01 |
| Artelus | Alright, can you explain what that does? :) | 03:01 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Xeon: compat my ASS, run windows in VMWARE under liunx | 03:01 |
| Gnea | freazer: sounds like a reasonable solution | 03:01 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I will even give you a KEY | 03:02 |
| prince_jammys | austin_: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 03:02 |
| Xeon | under vmware can my games run at the same speed? | 03:02 |
| Safe | histo: it just shows nothing. | 03:02 |

| freazer | prahal: looking into it | 03:06 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | wine will ONLY SERVE to deter linux users | 03:06 |
| austin_ | linduxed: Any idea on how to get the right one? | 03:06 |
| Xeon | ok, well my main question is how can I shrink my XP drive to install ubuntu on the partition | 03:06 |
| quadaptor | exists a bash command, that runs a command for each line in file (like find -exec), e.g. cat filelist.txt -exec basename {} \; | 03:06 |
| histo | Safe: then you don't need nm | 03:06 |
| austin_ | linduxed: would updating all the software work? | 03:06 |
| Gnea | vVvHACKERvVv: so will your attitude. | 03:06 |
| Safe | histo: yeah, I've added them manually. | 03:06 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | its not attitude Gnea, it experience | 03:06 |
| * Dartel fans seamOnsters laptop | 03:07 | |

| prahal | freazer, well . It refresh my memory and prepare me for when I will finally make the step to raid and lvm :) | 03:07 |
| Safe | histo: just afraid that nm is gonna mess with my settings if I remove it. :D | 03:07 |
| Xeon | but if you are saying gaming can be equal, how can i instlal ubuntu from xp and delete xp? | 03:07 |
| Gnea | vVvHACKERvVv: no, you've got a terrible attitude, and it needs to change, please. | 03:07 |

| === sigma is now known as Guest28254 | ||
| vVvHACKERvVv | Word of warning, the partition manager during ubuntu install has a tendency to fail when shrinking windows partitions | 03:07 |
| Gnea | histo: i heard about that, it can work quite well. | 03:07 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | from EXPERIENCE | 03:07 |
| prahal | though I am guessing from other scripts . I do not have lilo installed for years | 03:07 |
| histo | Xeon: well then you need a program to resize | 03:07 |
| seam0nster1 | it overheats when i have it on a fabric surface, i forgot (in bed) | 03:07 |

| s4nd3r | how solve it? | 03:08 |
| Xeon | but you guys are making me having second doubts on keeping xp lol | 03:08 |
| histo | Xeon: and there is agoing to be an issue with resizing a partition that you are currently using. | 03:08 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Gnea: not for me, for about 30% of the corporate machines I have installed it | 03:08 |
| Gnea | vVvHACKERvVv: it would be better if you properly researched your problems and found concrete solutions before spouting your opinions as fact. | 03:08 |

| kop | vVvHACKERvVv, remember the human | 03:08 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Gnea: these aren't opinions | 03:08 |
| histo | Xeon: thats why most peole boot to something such as cd or usb to run a partitioning program to resize | 03:08 |
| kop | Gnea, remember the human | 03:08 |
| prince_jammys | austin_: see if this is useful: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide | 03:08 |
| freazer | I think vVvHACKERvVv is right in giving a warning. Be _very sure_ your data is backed up before performing a NTFS resize because there is a much greater chance during that operation that your data can be permanently lost | 03:08 |
| histo | Xeon: how do you plan on installing ubuntu if you don't want to use cd? | 03:09 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | these people don't understand that freazer | 03:09 |
| Xeon | if the gaming is very similar (which I hope) then can I instlal ubuntu from my XP HD and delete the XP in the process fo installing ubuntu | 03:09 |
| histo | Xeon: wubi? | 03:09 |

| Kryzler | Gnea what's the problem? vVvHACKERvVv is just reminding us to do something that a lot of people forget | 03:10 |
| histo | Xeon: well youc an search online there are rescue cds that you can use or even put on a thumb drive to boot to and resize then go back in windows and use wubi after resizing. | 03:10 |
| Dartel | Folks this is not being productive | 03:10 |
| kop | we tend to type things here we would never say to someone in person , well at least not the way we type it here . just remember there is another human being on the other side of the conversation here | 03:10 |
| freazer | prahal: that path doesn't exist on my computer. I have /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/ which is close. the contents are "brltty, console_tools, fuse_utils, lvm2, ntfs_3g, udev, console_setup, dmsetup, kernelextras, mdadm, thermal, usplash" but no lilo | 03:10 |

| austin_ | linduxed: eh, i read it some where on digg that it would work. | 03:12 |
| cjae | !reiserfs | 03:12 |
| ubottu | reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html | 03:12 |

| slamdn | Hey guys, im in a lot of trouble right now. My motherboard got fried so i transfered my hdds to another mobo which only has onboard graphics (and does not have an agp slot for my gfx card) and now everytime i try to boot into ubuntu 8.10 everything is fine untill the little orange loading bar is done, then the screen goes batshit crazy display grey bars and what not. I think i should edit the xorg.conf file from a live cd but i dont know how to change it. | 03:23 |
| Gnea | !effects | brandon_ | 03:23 |
| ubottu | brandon_: Desktop Effects are supported on graphics cards that use the default Intel and ATI drivers and the restricted !NVIDIA drivers, except for the following, which are blacklisted due to stability/compatibility issues: Intel 965, ATI Rs480 and Rv350, ATI Mobility x300, x600 and x700 - Join #compiz-fusion for anything not officially supported by Ubuntu | 03:23 |
| freazer | miller_: uname -a worked great, thanks ^^ | 03:23 |
| seam0nster1 | wtf was that ? | 03:23 |
| try2free | why sudo apt-get update halt on 23% and continue after 2-3minute? how to solve this? | 03:24 |
| danbhfive | slamdn: have you tried removing your graphics drivers? | 03:24 |
| Dartel | I noticed thats why I brought your attention back to the VERY patient SeamOnster LOL | 03:24 |

| MoTec | slamdn: After it boots up and freaks out hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and you will get a standard, text mode, login prompt - no need for the live cd. | 03:25 |
| Gnea | seam0nster1: please don't say that again. | 03:25 |

| vVvHACKERvVv | seam0nster: you still didn't give me the sys specs and USB Wifi model | 03:27 |

| Kryzler | alotbter you enable advanced graphics effects | 03:29 |
| radsy | sigma92, when you said 'open a target' | 03:29 |

| ryanprior | Aster0ID: One way to find out. =D | 03:35 |
| GuruDrew | Ubuntu works great with the G1 | 03:36 |

| Kryzler | heh | 03:36 |
| freazer | vVvHACKERvVv: here's a good one for you: Ubuntu 8.04, I run "firefox" in the terminal and I get the following output back: "Illegal instruction" so I try firefox -safe_mode -- and I get the same error. I don't have flash or any of that silly stuff, this is a fresh installation! does this mean my kernel is corrupt or something? | 03:36 |
| GuruDrew | Writing some custom apps in Eclipse for android lol | 03:36 |
| GuruDrew | Pretty nice little OS | 03:36 |
| Kryzler | nice GuruDrew | 03:36 |

| vVvHACKERvVv | why in terminal freazer? | 03:36 |
| Kryzler | cos he is hardcore | 03:37 |
| freazer | vVvHACKERvVv: so you bebop sing the techno sounds instead of play them in the background?? | 03:37 |
| ryanprior | freazer: Does that happen when you use the LiveCD? | 03:37 |
| GuruDrew | vVvHACKERvVv, If it fails at terminal it's bound to fail at an icon, at least at terminal he gets output | 03:37 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I said nothing about failing from an icon | 03:37 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, it recognizes mine as a camera | 03:37 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | it was a general question to get the mental state of the user | 03:37 |
| Dillizar | alo its almost ready | 03:37 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | ::snicker:: | 03:37 |
| freazer | ryanprior: liveCD works great, this is after I've tried reinstalling from the live CD.. I even do apt-get install --reinstall firefox or even purge firefox and then install firefox, and I get the same error.. is there a way to reinstall all dependencies? | 03:38 |
| Aster0ID | nDuff, does it charge it then? | 03:38 |
| riz0n | can someone recommend a good howto on running scripts in ubuntu | 03:38 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, yup | 03:38 |
| Dillizar | vVvHACKERvVv, dude makes my pc ho SLOW | 03:38 |
| freazer | vVvHACKERvVv: because when I run in the gui it doesn't give me an error.. it just says "Starting firefox..." for about 5 seconds and then closes | 03:38 |
| Aster0ID | nDuff, what do you do when you want to sync to itunes ? | 03:38 |
| riz0n | i want to write a shell script that will start another program from the shell | 03:38 |
| GuruDrew | The wine team needs to get cracking in GTA4 so I can delete this XP partition | 03:38 |
| Kryzler | riz0n terminal will run te scripts as long as you have the right stuff insatlled | 03:38 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, use my Windows box at home | 03:38 |
| ryanprior | freazer: Since this is a fresh install, how about just reinstalling the whole OS and seeing if that helps? | 03:38 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | freazer: it could be a million things, believe it or not I don't have all the answeres | 03:38 |
| freazer | vVvHACKERvVv: what sort of mental state have you perused from my answer? | 03:38 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | at this point its research time | 03:39 |
| Kryzler | so riz0n e.g. you need java installed etc to run java | 03:39 |
| GuruDrew | 86% completion with only 25 hours play time, I'm such a loser. | 03:39 |
| austin_ | Hey guys, just did a system update, the same driver is being shown to me ;( | 03:39 |
| ryanprior | freazer: If something went wrong with the install, any number of things could be broken. | 03:39 |
| riz0n | Kryzler: basically i want the script to run "BitchX 127.0.0.1" | 03:39 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, ...if I didn't have one, I'd probably set it up for USB passthrough to a Windows instance running in VirtualBox. | 03:39 |
| freazer | vVvHACKERvVv: just trolling you :-) I've never had problems with firefox in Windows *tease* | 03:39 |
| Aster0ID | does that virtualbox run fast? | 03:39 |
| sonoblaise | I've installed the new CATALYST driver from the ATI website. I causes some problems with allegro in wine. Guys on the wine told me to remove the ATI drivers and get the latest open drivers that should be enough for me because the open drivers in ubuntu are too old. How do I remove the ATI package... i didn't used synaptic so I dont know how. thanks! | 03:39 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | WINDOWS..DAMN you... | 03:39 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | LoL | 03:39 |
| riz0n | Kryzler: i will have some people connecting into my server through putty and i dont want everyone to have to type that entire command, so i want to create a command "chat" that will launch it. | 03:39 |
| GuruDrew | Haha, anyone got an invite for me to #wine? :) | 03:40 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, I don't use it for games or anything, but sure. | 03:40 |
| try2free | how to get free support? | 03:40 |
| lstarnes | GuruDrew: try #winehq | 03:40 |

| Dillizar | alotbter, | 03:40 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Dillizar: it it working? | 03:40 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, ...btw, while VirtualBox is ideal for desktop VMs, if you're going to be virtualizing servers or doing automated QA or somesuch, you might do well to look at KVM instead. | 03:40 |
| Dillizar | yeah | 03:40 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | good | 03:40 |
| Dillizar | but its f slow | 03:40 |
| ryanprior | freazer: If that doesn't work, I might suspect your hard drive, since that's a definite difference between the LiveCD and installed Ubuntu,. | 03:41 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | get a faster computer | 03:41 |
| Dillizar | it makes my ps SLOW | 03:41 |
| Kryzler | sorry riz0n I'm stuck on that one... although with IRC clients, normally the most popular way to do scripts that run automatically is to write a perl or python program and run it in IRSSI | 03:41 |

| riz0n | ok | 03:42 |

| benjamin_ | Sorry. Can someone help me set up my Ubuntu Server to support a website? | 03:42 |
| MoTec | well, it's _supposed_ to put the stuff where it belongs.. YMMV :) | 03:42 |

| benjamin_ | nDuff: this is the tutorial (of sorts) that i've been following http://howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-8.10-p4http://howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-8.10-p4 | 03:44 |
| Kryzler | and my 8 year old sister knows ls | 03:44 |
| benjamin_ | nDuff: this is the tutorial (of sorts) that i've been following http://howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-8.10-p4 | 03:45 |
| Flannel | benjamin_: The howtoforge walkthroughs are generally rubbish when it comes to Ubuntu | 03:45 |
| GuruDrew | if you're pro you've aliased ll | 03:45 |
| GuruDrew | Anyone? | 03:45 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | where do I put "ls" | 03:45 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | ? | 03:45 |
| Kryzler | I sat them down and took them through basic terminal commands xD | 03:45 |
| benjamin_ | Flannel: Well thats good to know | 03:45 |
| freazer | vVvHACKERvVv: I think all you're doing is testing people's willingness to help - which is a good thing. at least these guys can handle the simple stuff | 03:45 |
| Kryzler | vVvHACKERvVv shh :P | 03:45 |
| Kryzler | lol | 03:45 |
| Chriz212 | how do i restore grub from usb? | 03:45 |
| freazer | I can tell you where to shove that "ls" ... | 03:45 |
| nDuff | benjamin_, OK -- where are you having trouble with it? | 03:45 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | my eyes are watering | 03:45 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | haha | 03:45 |
| Flannel | !offtopic | 03:45 |

| Dillizar | alotbter, http://rapidshare.com/files/195803318/out.ogg.html | 03:45 |
| Dillizar | :D | 03:45 |
| Dillizar | its not a porn but it looks good | 03:46 |
| Dillizar | :D | 03:46 |
| benjamin_ | well I'm not sure how to set up the IP address, I believe I need it to be static and then setting up a domain. | 03:46 |
| alotbter | could downloading an ogg file allow someone to hack my computer? | 03:46 |
| benjamin_ | nDuff:well I'm not sure how to set up the IP address, I believe I need it to be static and then setting up a domain. | 03:46 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Dillizar: actually what brought me here was the blurr of my desktop video recordings when mposted to youtube | 03:46 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | i cant get around it | 03:46 |
| Dillizar | alotbter, lool | 03:46 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I even encoded with mencoder and /or user specialized interlacing | 03:46 |
| Dillizar | alotbter, its a video file | 03:46 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | still no dice | 03:46 |
| alotbter | whos lool and what is he doing here | 03:46 |
| seam0nster1 | vVVHACKERvVv: considering the results of iwconfig do you think i should reinstall ubuntu or somthing ? | 03:46 |
| Dillizar | vVvHACKERvVv, maybe because its a ogg | 03:46 |
| nDuff | benjamin_, ...well, depending on what kind of connectivity you have, IP allocation and DNS setup may be out of your hands. | 03:47 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Dillizar: its an ogv not an ogg | 03:47 |
| Dillizar | mine is ogg | 03:47 |
| MoTec | pfsense handles my ip's for me.. and it makes me happy. | 03:47 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | seam0nster: no | 03:47 |
| benjamin_ | nDuff: how can i tell you what connectivity I have | 03:47 |
| administrator | How to "fat" floppy disk Into a format "et2" | 03:47 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | gimme some time I am having fun rught now | 03:47 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | lol | 03:47 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | we need your hardware specs seam0nster | 03:47 |
| benjamin_ | nDuff: I'm not running wireless and connected through ethernet. Does that help? | 03:47 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | if you do not know you need to find out | 03:47 |
| Dillizar | alotbter, just take the video and will show you were to find it | 03:47 |
| sonoblaise | what is the xfree version that comes with ubuntu 8.10? | 03:48 |
| administrator | How to "fat" floppy disk Into a format "et2" | 03:48 |
| nDuff | benjamin_, the config file controlling your server's local IP address is /etc/network/interfaces, but any static IP you set in there needs to be valid for the network you're on, and not be something the local DHCP server might hand to someone else. | 03:48 |
| administrator | How to "fat" floppy disk Into a format "et2" | 03:48 |
| Flannel | !enter | vVvHACKERvVv | 03:48 |
| seam0nster1 | how ? what exactly do u need to know ? | 03:48 |
| ubottu | vVvHACKERvVv: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:48 |
| alotbter | Dillizar, why cant you just tell me? | 03:48 |
| Dillizar | vVvHACKERvVv, does recording your desktop makes your pc SLOW?? | 03:48 |
| nDuff | benjamin_, who's your local network administrator? | 03:48 |
| ryanprior | !repeat | administrator | 03:48 |
| ubottu | administrator: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 03:48 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Dillizar: no | 03:48 |
| benjamin_ | nDuff: I don't know. | 03:48 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Dillizar: use 15 FPS and NTSC methods | 03:48 |
| Aster0ID | Ok, quick question: On Ubuntu site it says the curent version will be supported untill 2010. then what do I do? | 03:48 |
| Dillizar | alotbter ah #compiz | 03:48 |
| nDuff | benjamin_, where do you get your Internet service from? | 03:48 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I am running a Vostro 1510 and no issues | 03:49 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, upgrade to a newer one :) | 03:49 |
| austin_ | Does anyone know how to fix ATI driver problems? the card was made by asus | 03:49 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | even the MEDAI panel works with Ubuntu | 03:49 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I am extatic | 03:49 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, the upgrade process is shiny and clicky and automated. | 03:49 |
| freazer | administrator: can you try to spell things correctly so that we can properly understand the question? did you mean "format" a floppy into "ext2" ? | 03:49 |
| Aster0ID | nDuff, Upgrade would mean reinstalling the OS? | 03:49 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | ATI NO WAY---STAY AWAY | 03:49 |
| Dillizar | vVvHACKERvVv, where can i find the methods | 03:49 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, no, it means clicking a few buttons. | 03:49 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, ...and letting the OS reinstall all the components that changed. | 03:50 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Dillizar: you have to re-encode with DeVeDe | 03:50 |
| freazer | administrator: are you using Ubuntu? command line or GUI? either way I recommend either parted or gparted but I'm not sure if they work on hotswappable/removable volumes | 03:50 |
| Aster0ID | nDuff, what is the version of the ubuntu on default download site? is it KDE ubuntu or Gnome? | 03:50 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, default Ubuntu uses GNOME. | 03:50 |
| Flannel | Aster0ID: Gnome is Ubuntu | 03:50 |
| administrator | I have a floppy disk is formatted fat | 03:50 |
| Dillizar | vVvHACKERvVv, and when i select a window? desktop ?? | 03:50 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Gnome is NOT ubnut | 03:50 |
| ryanprior | Aster0ID: Ubuntu comes with Gnome by default, Kubuntu comes with KDE. | 03:51 |
| Aster0ID | nDuff, switching to KDE would not be much trouble I would assume? | 03:51 |
| Kryzler | Gnom != Ubuntu | 03:51 |
| administrator | I would like to format it into ET2 | 03:51 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Dillizar: you can choose window if you want less system resources | 03:51 |
| Aster0ID | which is "better" | 03:51 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, I don't know how much trouble is involved in switching between distribution variants, but I'd be surprised if it were very tricky. | 03:51 |
| Aster0ID | gnome or kde? for a beginner | 03:51 |
| MoTec | Aster0ID: join do an apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to switch from gnome to kde | 03:51 |
| F4RR4R | Will it break things in ubuntu 8.10 desktop if i rename the directories in my home directory to be more conform? (I.e "Pictures"->"pictures", "Music"->"music") | 03:51 |
| * Gnea wonders where vVvHACKERvVv's Ubuntu & FreeBSD videos are at... | 03:51 | |
| vVvHACKERvVv | is there a freaking echo in here | 03:51 |
| ryanprior | !best | Aster0ID | 03:51 |
| ubottu | Aster0ID: 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. | 03:51 |
| Kryzler | !repeat | administrator | 03:51 |
| nDuff | Aster0ID, both should work. | 03:51 |
| ubottu | administrator: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 03:51 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Gnea, have not upload all of them | 03:52 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | only have my new account open | 03:52 |
| Dillizar | Aster0ID, kde is better for begging you have the start menu and bla bla bla | 03:52 |
| Gnea | vVvHACKERvVv: I suppose it'd help if they existed :) | 03:52 |
| Kryzler | administrator, clearly no-one knows... you'll have to ask somewhere else | 03:52 |
| dmphotography | Hey, does anyone happen to know where apache is installed on ubuntu, or even better, what the command to stop it is? | 03:52 |
| Flannel | dmphotography: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop | 03:52 |
| benjamin_ | nDuff: Can I tell you my IP address? | 03:52 |
| MoTec | /etc/init.d/apache2 stop | 03:52 |
| MoTec | dangit | 03:52 |
| Aster0ID | Most of you would use Gnome then? | 03:53 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | if you read why I was originally here, you would have seen my question regarding blurry youtube videos, for someone whom constantly says to RESEARCH befor eyou talk you are awfully ignorant regarding your remarks | 03:53 |
| MoTec | guis are for the weak :) | 03:53 |
| Dillizar | Aster0ID, here is gnome #kubuntu is kde | 03:53 |
| Aster0ID | I am installing it for my mom :) shes not so good with computers | 03:53 |
| Kryzler | Aster0ID I use whatever happenes to be my preference at the time | 03:53 |
| ryanprior | Aster0ID: Most of us here use Gnome, or Gnome and something else. | 03:53 |
| histo | msg ubottu attitude | 03:53 |
| ryanprior | Aster0ID: I use Gnome and sometimes Xfce. | 03:53 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | just an observation of course | 03:53 |
| Dillizar | Aster0ID, let me tell you what i did for my mom ok | 03:53 |
| MoTec | but, when i must, i use xfec4 :) | 03:53 |
| Dillizar | :D | 03:53 |
| histo | !attitude | vVvHACKERvVv | 03:53 |
| ubottu | vVvHACKERvVv: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 03:53 |
| nDuff | benjamin_, ...well, you *can*, and I can do a traceback to see who your provider is, but that's not really enough information. Are you plugged into a corporate network, or a home network? | 03:53 |
| Dillizar | Aster0ID, i installed a ubuntu and made it look just like vista with the menu button | 03:54 |
| === administrator is now known as Kyle4 | ||
| Gnea | vVvHACKERvVv: not everyone spends all of their time paying attention to everything in this channel all of the time. | 03:54 |
| Aster0ID | Dillizar, how did you do that lol? | 03:54 |
| Dillizar | Aster0ID, i can how you how cuz its good for moms and sisters :D and stupid brothers :P | 03:54 |
| benjamin_ | nDuff: home network | 03:54 |
| Dillizar | well Aster0ID | 03:54 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Gnea: we are never going to see eye to eye on anything, lets just not talk to each other | 03:54 |
| nDuff | benjamin_, that being the case, you can log into your router and configure the IP range used for DHCP (and, thus, which IPs *aren't*) | 03:55 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | k? | 03:55 |
| benjamin_ | nDuff: Would you mind walking me though? | 03:55 |
| nDuff | benjamin_, ...so, pick one of the IPs that aren't in the DHCP range, and set it up in /etc/network/interfaces (see the output from "man interfaces" for documentation on that file) | 03:55 |
| nDuff | benjamin_, I can't help you with your router -- that's well beyond the scope of supporting Ubuntu, and there are too many different models for me to know them all. | 03:56 |
| benjamin_ | nDuff: Can you explain more in depth | 03:56 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | seam0nster: still here | 03:56 |
| uman_ | Hey guys. My mobo recently got fried so i changed mobos, and now my cablemodem (usb) eth2 doesnt work anymore. I plug it into my pc and it doesnt show up. Also, i get an internet icon on my menubar,top right with an error that says SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such device. What can i do. Thanks | 03:56 |
| Gnea | vVvHACKERvVv: please try to follow the guidelines... if ignorance is the way you prefer to go, then that's fine, but then again, you could simply re-state the original problem and leave your attitude parked at the door.. you might get a better response that way. | 03:56 |
| MoTec | I checked by the door. | 03:56 |
| ryanprior | uman_: Do any USB devices work? | 03:57 |
| MoTec | The attitude section is WAY full. | 03:57 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Ok you can have the last word... | 03:57 |
| Gnea | MoTec: didn't you know? we just point it to /dev/null - it's infinite :) | 03:57 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | anyway | 03:57 |
| MoTec | hehe | 03:57 |
| noobsp | ... | 03:57 |
| uman_ | ryanprior, yeah, flash drives work | 03:57 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | can I ask a question? | 03:57 |
| Gnea | !ask | vVvHACKERvVv | 03:58 |
| ubottu | vVvHACKERvVv: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:58 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | :;snicker:: | 03:58 |
| Dillizar | Aster0ID, you need a vista theme! aero smt dunno download a start button and istall it and put it on the panel and just use emerald to make the buttons really really shiny ! :D and then go instal some icons et voila a vista for mom :D wiht no viruses :D | 03:58 |
| ryanprior | vVvHACKERvVv: This isn't a shouting contest. Gnea wants to have a civil channel, and we have a legit body of channel guidelines that we expect people to stick to. Right now, you're straying outside and giving us attitude about it. | 03:58 |
| ryanprior | !guidelines | vVvHACKERvVv | 03:58 |
| ubottu | vVvHACKERvVv: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 03:58 |
| Dillizar | Aster0ID, go to gnome-look.org or smt like that | 03:58 |
| Aster0ID | Dillizar, cool :) | 03:58 |
| Dillizar | i am to lazy to change pc and show you | 03:58 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I am helping anyone I can, i dnot need you throwing you garbage up everything I say something | 03:58 |
| Dillizar | :D | 03:58 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | grow up | 03:58 |
| Gnea | vVvHACKERvVv: stop. | 03:58 |
| porkpie | anyone had this before 'error while loading shared libraries: libltdl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory' ? | 03:59 |
| try2free | please somebody give some hints. why sudo apt-get update halt on 23% and continue after 2-3minute? | 03:59 |
| Flannel | Alright, vVvHACKERvVv, Gnea, that's enough out of everyone. Regardless of who started, or whatever. That's enough. | 03:59 |
| norty | Question: I just changed my $PATH variable and i want to be able to use it but i dont want to logout to refresh it, what is another way to refresh it? | 03:59 |
| chalcedony | try2free: think about resources and ram .. | 03:59 |
| vigo | Flannel: Thank you | 04:00 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Flannel; thats what I attempted to do by stating "We shouldn't talk" | 04:00 |
| simplemotives_ | I'm having major dns/resolv issues with intrepid. It seems to be a commonly reported issue, but I see no clear resolution. | 04:00 |
| simplemotives_ | web requests take 20+ seconds and even timeout. | 04:00 |
| simplemotives_ | IP6 is disabled in ff3 config | 04:00 |
| uman_ | Hey guys. My mobo recently got fried so i changed mobos, and now my cablemodem (usb) eth2 doesnt work anymore. I plug it into my pc and it doesnt show up. Also, i get an internet icon on my menubar,top right with an error that says SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such device. What can i do. Thanks | 04:00 |
| chalcedony | how can i find my largest files ? | 04:00 |
| nDuff | benjamin_, see my PM. | 04:00 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | chalcedony: why do you want to do that | 04:00 |
| Dillizar | Aster0ID, http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-hardy-to-mac-osx-leopard/2008/07/23 | 04:00 |
| danbhfive | chalcedony: Apps > Accs> Disk Usage Analyzer | 04:00 |
| Dillizar | try this | 04:00 |
| Dillizar | it will help you understand how to install some things you will need | 04:01 |
| Aster0ID | Dillizar, thanks! | 04:01 |
| chalcedony | vVvHACKERvVv: i have a lot to backup, maybe it's something i can do without (hoping) | 04:01 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | one sec chal | 04:01 |
| chalcedony | vVvHACKERvVv: ty :) | 04:01 |
| chalcedony | vVvHACKERvVv: i need commmand line if possible | 04:02 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | chal: I am talking to someone..gimem a sec | 04:02 |
| cdeszaq | How can I get my Windows Media Center remote to work in Ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| ryanprior | chalcedony: There's a built-in GUI tool that makes it very easy to do that. | 04:02 |
| Dillizar | no cdeszaq | 04:02 |
| ryanprior | chalcedony: Applications -> Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer | 04:03 |
| cdeszaq | Dillizar: What? I asked how...not if | 04:03 |
| Dillizar | :D | 04:03 |
| Dillizar | i dont think you can | 04:03 |
| tritium | cdeszaq: lirc supports windows MCE remotes just fine | 04:03 |
| ryanprior | chalcedony: It uses a simple method to find the large files, which you could replicate on the command line with a little scripting. Ask in #bash if you need help with that. | 04:03 |
| Aster0ID | what's the default user/password on ubuntu install? | 04:03 |
| Flannel | Aster0ID: Whatever you set it up t be during the install | 04:04 |
| ryanprior | !root | Aster0ID | 04:04 |
| ubottu | Aster0ID: 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 | 04:04 |
| centaur5 | uman_: I would try removing the eth devices from /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot and see what that does. | 04:04 |
| benjamin_ | tabidachi_:See my pm | 04:04 |
| Aster0ID | I emant in the Live cd | 04:04 |
| ryanprior | Aster0ID: Oh, I thought you asked for the default root password. Disregard that. =D | 04:04 |
| Aster0ID | the download on website is tha live cd too right? | 04:04 |
| vigo | Who had the SIOCGIFNUM error? | 04:05 |
| Flannel | Aster0ID: The user for the livecd is 'ubuntu' and there's no password. If the liveCD is asking you to login, it's likely a bad burn, or an unofficial Ubuntu spinoff | 04:05 |
| chalcedony | ryanprior: i'm looking at the gui .. we will see ty :) | 04:05 |
| centaur5 | vigo: uman_ | 04:05 |
| vigo | Thank you | 04:05 |
| uman_ | centaur5, vigo? | 04:05 |
| swtaarrs | is there a way to drag-and-drop support in file-roller? | 04:06 |
| vigo | uman_: I found some stuff on that here: http://docsun.cites.uiuc.edu/sun_docs/C/solaris_9/SUNWdev/NETPROTO/p40.html | 04:06 |
| ryanprior | swtaarrs: We've had that since Hardy Heron. Before that, there's no way to enable it without backporting code. | 04:06 |
| vigo | Is Solaris, but is still Linux, sorta | 04:06 |
| Cody | Im getting this error message: input: b43-phy0 as /devices/virtual/input/input11 > firmware: requesting b43/ucode5.fw > b43-phy0 ERROR : Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found. I couldnt get the correct address it referred me to (http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/drivers/b43#devicefirmware) so i got it else where. Can anybody help me place it in the correct location, or possible help me figure out the correct web address? | 04:07 |
| ryanprior | swtaarrs: In terms of release numbers, it's supported in Ubuntu 8.04+ | 04:07 |
| swtaarrs | ryanprior: I'm running intrepid, and I can't drag files from an open archive into nautilus | 04:07 |
| ryanprior | swtaarrs: Let me try to be sure I'm right. One moment. | 04:07 |
| whatev | how come sudo apt-get install xnvc[tab] only shows xvnc4viewer and not xvnc4server? | 04:07 |
| swtaarrs | ryanprior: does it not work on read-only archives? | 04:07 |
| ryanprior | swtaarrs: drag+drop works fine for me on Intrepid. I don't have a read-only archive to try -- can you point me to one? | 04:08 |
| vigo | centaur5: There was also a post on the Ubuntu Forums about that. | 04:08 |
| swtaarrs | ryanprior: this was one from an email I got, so not this particular one. maybe try chmod -w on one then reopen it? it was a .zip archive if that matters | 04:09 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | ok I am back | 04:09 |
| ryanprior | swtaarrs: I went ahead and made an archive read-only, and I can still drag+drop from it. | 04:09 |
| seam0nster1 | wb | 04:09 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | still with me | 04:09 |
| centaur5 | vigo: My first assumption was that it's looking for his old MAC addresses and still mapping those to eth* devices but can't find them. | 04:09 |
| Dillizar | where can i change witch programs to run on boot | 04:09 |
| ryanprior | swtaarrs: You aren't using a non-standard archive manager, are you? You're using file-roller? | 04:09 |
| Cody | Can anybody help me with my question^^? | 04:09 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Dillizar: /etc/init.d | 04:09 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | cody: shoot | 04:10 |
| vigo | centaur5: That is what most of the data I looked up said. | 04:10 |

| centaur5 | vigo: I've never swapped a motherboard with an Ubuntu installation but always assumed it would go really slick as long as you delete the contents of the 70-persistent-net.rules file. Now I'm curious and will have to try an experiment to see if switching boards with Ubuntu is more slick than XP. :) | 04:11 |

| ryanprior | !anyone | seam0nster1 | 04:13 |
| ubottu | seam0nster1: 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? | 04:13 |
| Gnea | Cody: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware | 04:13 |
| Cody | Gnea: May i ask why i need to do that? | 04:13 |

| Cody | vVvHACKERvVv: what did you mean hes just a user here? | 04:14 |
| tritium | vVvHACKERvVv: enough, or it'll be a ban, and not a kick | 04:14 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | go ahead, you will be hurting the users | 04:14 |
| Gnea | Cody: because it's not installed by default | 04:14 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I have helped countless people here | 04:15 |
| Cody | How would i install that on my other machine without an internet connection? | 04:15 |

| vVvHACKERvVv | tritium: correction you have never seen this nick before | 04:15 |
| |syockit| | Cody: attitude problem | 04:15 |
| tritium | vVvHACKERvVv: please just abide by the code of conduct, and you'll be fine | 04:15 |
| Cody | Oh okay | 04:16 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | tritum: people want me here becuase I help | 04:16 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | just get off your high horse | 04:16 |
| Cody | Gnea: How do i install that without an internet connection? | 04:16 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | and let me do my job | 04:16 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | then everything will be fine | 04:16 |
| Gnea | vVvHACKERvVv: We do ask that people get off of their horse at the door. | 04:16 |
| tritium | vVvHACKERvVv: calm yourself down. | 04:16 |
| Cody | You singled me out vVvHACKERvVv :P | 04:16 |
| Gnea | Cody: do you have a USB thumbdrive? | 04:16 |
| Cody | Yes and some blank cds. | 04:17 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | I don't even know how I got here, I was having a good time | 04:17 |
| Aster0ID | S.O.S - I tried to run live cd and monitor says "Video Mode Not Supported" | 04:17 |
| whatev | how come sudo apt-get install xvnc[tab] only shows xvnc4viewer and not xvnc4server? | 04:17 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | Cody: what do you mean singled you out? | 04:17 |
| Gnea | Cody: try copying it to the USB drive and then run this on the ubuntu-side: sudo dpkg -l file.deb (where file.deb is the linux-firemware-BLAH.deb | 04:17 |
| Cody | Only 1 wireless problem a day :P | 04:17 |
| seam0nster1 | some people are strange vVvHACKERvVv, don't worry about it | 04:17 |
| n8tuser | whatev -> take a look at x11vnc you may like it better | 04:17 |
| centaur5 | vigo: Well the main reason XP crashes is when there are new boards and I was hoping since Ubuntu just detects hardware and loads modules that if I install an Ubuntu machine and have to replace the board that I wouldn't have to reformat. I buy good boards though so I've never had to do it but now I'm curious. Although copying the home and pasting it into a new installation is quite effortless! I love Ubuntu! | 04:17 |
| Gnea | Cody: sorry, sudo dpkg -i file.deb | 04:17 |
| seam0nster1 | they like to enforce silly rules etc | 04:18 |
| whatev | n8tuser can i connect to x11vnc from tightvnc on windows? | 04:18 |
| Aster0ID | Anyone? | 04:18 |
| n8tuser | whatev -> absolutely | 04:18 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | seam0nster: its a question of power. nothing more nothing less. Its not the rules they are enforcing, its the extension of supremicy | 04:18 |
| tritium | seam0nster1: the channel's rules serve a purpose. Please stay on topic. | 04:18 |
| Cody | Gnea: Where do i download this? Like the exact package from an internet based command of sudo apt-get install linux-firmware ? | 04:18 |
| seam0nster1 | true | 04:18 |
| CyBurnett | I installed Ubuntu 8.04 and setup user and root accounts with passwords. now i need to edit the settings for my network but it will not accept the password? Your thoughts please :) | 04:18 |
| ryanprior | Aster0ID: Sounds like it's detecting the monitor wrong. Are on an aged CRT, maybe? | 04:18 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | tritum: the rules are placed there to help the users | 04:18 |
| Flannel | vVvHACKERvVv: Please come to #ubuntu-ops so we can discuss this without creating so much noise. | 04:18 |
| jp_sf | Aster0ID: what is your question ? | 04:18 |
| vVvHACKERvVv | on my way | 04:19 |
| chalcedony | Disk Usage Analyzer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115864/ | 04:19 |
| |syockit| | Cody: get them on packages.ubuntu.com | 04:19 |
| vigo | cenataur5: Ibex is really good at new hardware, Heron ,'with updates' is also, still the backup rule is always in effect, | 04:19 |
| Aster0ID | I am using a 17 inch LCD monitor (Hyunday) and it says "Video mode not supported" when I try to use Live cd or install disc | 04:19 |
| Gnea | vVvHACKERvVv: everyone that /join's #ubuntu is a user. | 04:19 |
| Cody | |syockit|: Thank you. | 04:19 |
| Aster0ID | it was fine when it was loading and language selection too, but then I got that message | 04:19 |
| Aster0ID | ryanprior, jp_sf ^^^ | 04:20 |
| ryanprior | Aster0ID: If you can figure out how, try booting into VESA mode. I don't remember how to do it off the top of my head, but try Google. | 04:20 |
| CyBurnett | Aster0ID, at the screen that says "install Ubuntu without any change to your computer" etc, hit F4 key and select "safe graphics mode" | 04:21 |
| Gnea | !packages | Cody | 04:21 |
| ubottu | Cody: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 04:21 |
| Gnea | Cody: check that website ^^^ | 04:21 |
| Aster0ID | CyBurnett, I dotn get to that point | 04:22 |
| CyBurnett | Aster0ID, you mean you dont get to the screen immediately following the language selection window? | 04:22 |
| Aster0ID | CyBurnett, yes, after language there is nothing | 04:23 |
| Aster0ID | or there was some loading bar... or was that before | 04:23 |
| Aster0ID | I get "Video mode not supported" monitor message | 04:23 |
| Cody | So linux-firmware doesn't come with ubuntu? | 04:23 |
| Cody | Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid? | 04:23 |
| CyBurnett | Aster0ID, Sorry, I'm a newby to linux but i had the same problem as you and I got around it with the steps I mentioned :0 | 04:24 |
| n8tuser | Aster0ID -> try also the option vga=791 | 04:24 |
| tritium | Cody: yes | 04:24 |
| |syockit| | Cody: it should if it's detected the hardware during install | 04:24 |
| Aster0ID | n8tuser, how do I do that? | 04:24 |
| |syockit| | tritium: it wasn't? | 04:24 |
| rsd | soft sound on macpro... anyone figured out how to make sound not really soft from headphones? I've put the various mixers up to max, and on other ubuntu machines the sound works fine... it's just really soft on this mac pro. | 04:25 |
| tritium | |syockit|: no, you're correct | 04:25 |
| tritium | It should be installed. | 04:25 |
| === rsd is now known as illume | ||
| n8tuser | Aster0ID -> i think when you press F6 and there is a long line of text.. insert it before the word quiet, and actually erase quiet to see the status while it is booting | 04:25 |
| CyBurnett | I installed Ubuntu 8.04 and setup user and root accounts with passwords. now i need to edit the settings for my network but it will not accept the password? Your thoughts please :) | 04:25 |

| Xaero | I have I question regarding bash scripting, say I wanted to parse a text file for urls that point to a certain domain name, I know the first step would be to grep for all lines containing the domain name in question, that match the pattern of a URL, but what would I do to get rid of the rest of said lines? | 04:32 |
| tritium | vVvHACKERvVv, seam0nster1: one last warning to stay on topic | 04:32 |
| Artelus | So how do I install Sun jafva? | 04:32 |

| seam0nster1 | i just hope you're not a cop irl tritium | 04:32 |
| seam0nster1 | that would be scary | 04:32 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: what's the rig? what are you trying to recover? | 04:33 |

| billybigrigger | |syockit|: i just did a fresh install on my desktop...install went fine, and couldnt even login to my first gnome session | 04:34 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: could be the compiz thing hanging up. login screen came up? | 04:34 |
| alotbter | is there a way when you invert the screen colors to not invert pictures and videos? | 04:35 |
| danbhfive | chalcedony: I don't know what you are doing. The app is graphical. Can;t you see what the largest files are? | 04:35 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: yeah gdm came up fine, entered user and password and it hangs, so then i tried failsafe gnome and it still wont work...stuck with a moving mouse thats it | 04:35 |
| Xaero | How would I go about parsing a text file and returning JUST urls? | 04:36 |
| chalcedony | danbhfive: it's showing directories which is nice.. ill have to do it again for files, i guess | 04:36 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: tried ctrl-alt-bkspace to restart gnome and nothing, ctrl-alt-del...nothing | 04:36 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: next time, at login screen, try killing compiz. | 04:37 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: use tty | 04:37 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: k, how do i kill compiz at login? | 04:37 |

| |syockit| | billybigrigger: ah, yu mean tty | 04:38 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: i have to login after alt-f2 to bring up a term right? | 04:38 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: yes. then sudo killall compiz.real | 04:38 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: haha alt f2 f3 f4 does nothing | 04:39 |

| billybigrigger | |syockit|: nothing, and i know keyboard works cause i can type in the username box | 04:39 |
| ryanprior | billybigrigger: alt+f2 should bring up a little "Run" dialog in the top-left corner. | 04:39 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: if i'm not mistaken, you use ctrl-alt-<number> to change to tty | 04:39 |
| uman_ | Hey guys i need help desperately. My mobo fried so i changed motherboards and am not using my nvidia gfx card anymore so i am using onboard video from ati. When i installed the ati drivers and the nvida ones were uninstalled my motorola usb cable modem stopped working. I mean, its as if it were not plugged in. How can i fix this.. what usb drivers can i install or go back to another kernel? Thanks | 04:40 |
| ryanprior | billybigrigger: ctrl+alt+f2 should take you to a plain-text TTY interface. | 04:40 |

| billybigrigger | yes | 04:40 |
| ryanprior | uman_: No need to tell us about desperation - we only have so much capacity to help. Is the modem listed by lsusb? | 04:40 |

| Odd-rationale | dmphotography: see "man cp" for more details. | 04:46 |
| dmphotography | cp didn't copy the subfolders. | 04:46 |
| dmphotography | Ahhh. | 04:46 |
| gray | ryanprior i'm so lost | 04:46 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: no details, i just cant get a tty | 04:46 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: ctrl-alt-f1 f2 f3 f4 nothing | 04:46 |
| Scunizi | dmphotography: cp -R | 04:46 |
| dmphotography | Yeah, I think my syntax is wrong. | 04:46 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: gdm comes out, textbox working, but c-a-f1 doesn't work. Correct? | 04:46 |
| dmphotography | I'm in the folder I want to copy and I was using *.* | 04:46 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: yes | 04:47 |
| Flannel | billybigrigger: try `sudo chvt 1` | 04:47 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: also since first boot i noticed no usplash, if that has anything to do with this | 04:47 |

| |syockit| | billybigrigger: cripes, somehow putty fails on boot | 04:47 |
| ryanprior | gray: Plug in the crossover cable to both computers, then run one of these commands on each one: `ifconfig eth0 1.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up` and on the other, `ifconfig eth0 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up` -- (in both cases, don't actually type the `` s) Then, on the first machine go to Places -> Connect to Server, select SSH, and for the address type in 1.1.1.2 -- and bam, you're... | 04:47 |

| Xaero | Anybody know how I would parse a text file to return ONLY urls? | 04:47 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: s | 04:47 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: that's strange too | 04:47 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: how about failsafe terminal and then startx from there? | 04:47 |
| dmphotography | What do I use instead of *.*? | 04:47 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: hmm maybe you can? | 04:48 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: still won't solve gdm's failure after login tho | 04:48 |
| WebcamWonder | Xaero: Regular Expressions. Look at grep | 04:48 |
| billybigrigger | hrmm | 04:48 |
| dmphotography | NM, I figured it out. | 04:48 |
| unop | dmphotography, just * | 04:48 |
| Xaero | WebcamWonder: can grep reduce it to just urls even if there is other text in the line? | 04:48 |
| dmphotography | Yeah. | 04:48 |
| dmphotography | It dawned on me. | 04:48 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: $ startx X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. | 04:48 |
| dmphotography | Thanks guys. | 04:48 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: probably why gnome wont start haha | 04:48 |
| WebcamWonder | Xaero: You should be able to use sed to do that | 04:49 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: usplash doesn't come on kernel recovery, but should appear on normal boot | 04:49 |
| Xaero | WebcamWonder: Thanks, thats the one I couldn't remember XD | 04:49 |
| gray | i'm using xubuntu | 04:49 |
| gray | ryanprior: i don't see a connect to server | 04:49 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: i dont think it comes on normal boot either | 04:49 |
| ryanprior | gray: Ah, in that case you'll need to find a different way to do the last step. | 04:49 |
| ryanprior | gray: I'm not familiar enough with xubuntu's GUI. | 04:50 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: no, if gdm came out, means user has authorization. gdm managed to start X | 04:50 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: sudo startx | 04:50 |
| gray | thanks ryanprior | 04:50 |
| ryanprior | |syockit|: Start x as root? | 04:50 |

| |syockit| | billybigrigger: now, you're on normal boot, right? | 04:52 |
| john_ | how do you recover ubuntu initramfs | 04:52 |
| mjc | joljam: many machines cannot boot USB, fair warning | 04:52 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: still in my failsafe xterm | 04:52 |

| billybigrigger | |syockit|: failsafe gnome doesnt start, failsafe terminal (xterm) works though | 04:53 |

| billybigrigger | ??? | 04:53 |
| joljam | mjc: I have been able to boot from usb before...but then I had to use that usb for another purpose.. | 04:53 |
| Aster0ID | when i try t reconfigure xserver, it wont get past the keyboard | 04:53 |
| john_ | how can you recover ubuntu when it is booting only to (initramfs), can anyone help please please please | 04:53 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: sudo aptitude remove compiz* | 04:53 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: actually there's an easier way to disable, but since I'm not on plain Ubuntu, I don't know the details | 04:54 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: it involves editing /etc/X11 stuff | 04:54 |
| mjc | joljam: OK, just wanted to clarify that for you. one sec I think I have a howto | 04:54 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: couldnt find any package whose name or description matched "compiz" | 04:54 |
| mjc | joljam: I know there is a windows tool for doing this also haha | 04:55 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: im running onboard intel gfx, maybe i should reconfig xserver? | 04:55 |
| seam0nster1 | thnks | 04:55 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: but xterm runs? | 04:56 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: yes xterm runs, also i just did $ locate compiz and its installed | 04:56 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: so is there a better way of removing compiz? maybe without the * | 04:56 |
| john_ | how can you recover ubuntu when it is booting only to (initramfs), can anyone help please please please | 04:56 |
| seam0nster1 | right work in 4 hours g2g | 04:56 |
| seam0nster1 | peace | 04:56 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: if you insist, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 04:57 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: i still think compiz is the culprit | 04:57 |

| === gbleezy is now known as G-Blunted | ||
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: well maybe i should just try to uninstall compiz like you said? | 04:57 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: but is there another way? the command you gave me couldnt find compiz* should i try without the *? | 04:57 |
| ryanprior | john_: The help you get has no correlation to the number of "pleases" you use. :-) The answer to your question isn't straightforward; did you have a previously working system, and now it won't boot right? | 04:57 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: ok try | 04:57 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: ok, its removing the package compiz | 04:58 |
| illume | How do I report a bug for 'sound too soft on mac pro' ? | 04:58 |
| illume | I'm not really sure which package is at fault | 04:58 |
| Symbiot | is running SMTP the same as running sendmail? | 04:58 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: should i restart gdm and try it or do a fresh reboot? | 04:58 |
| ryanprior | illume: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs | 04:58 |
| |syockit| | illume: have you tried maxing out the volume through pulseaudio manager? | 04:58 |
| mjc | illume: works fine for me.... check your sound settings and make sure to enable the extra ones in the panel | 04:58 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: restart gdm should be good enough | 04:59 |
| illume | yeah, I've tried maxing out the volume | 04:59 |
| john_ | yes it was working fine ryanprior | 04:59 |
| Yossarian | hey peeps | 04:59 |
| wolter | hi, my login sound sounds aweful. like if someone mixed it up | 04:59 |
| illume | I've got sound working on other ubuntu machines... I think it is specific to this mac pro. | 04:59 |
| ryanprior | john_: What did you do that changed its behaviour? | 04:59 |
| wolter | is anybody else getting this problem? | 04:59 |
| illume | ryanprior: thanks for the bug link | 04:59 |
| unop | Symbiot, sendmail (the daemon) is an SMTP server -- but some MTAs like exim have a program called sendmail that is not an SMTP server, so - yes and no | 04:59 |
| mjc | illume: turn on the external amplifier in volume preferences and then untick it in options | 05:00 |
| ryanprior | illume: The Ubuntu bugsquad helps people triage bugs, so it's a good idea to get your report in there and add more information as you find it. | 05:00 |
| john_ | I was trying to get a 200gig hd drive working, and I was restarting it alot to test the jumpers | 05:00 |

| Yossarian | my d-link router died, i think. i plug it in and on my windows machine, i get a 'limited connection' and on ubuntu it won't even connect. the router is supposed to be 192.168.0.1 but i can't access it, doesn't respond to ping either. what can i do? | 05:00 |
| mjc | illume: by default sound is set to "external amplifier" to make sure that it is not loud enough for those who have an amp to blow their ears ;) | 05:00 |
| ryanprior | john_: Is that an internal hard drive or an external one? Is it the hard drive that the root FS partition is installed on, or that /boot is installed on? | 05:01 |
| illume | ah ok | 05:01 |
| illume | mjc: I can't find that link... | 05:01 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: well i did a reboot anyway, and theres no usplash, wondering if that has something to do with onboard intel gfx? | 05:01 |
| |syockit| | illume: also through alsa tools? | 05:01 |
| anima_ | Could someone help me with my bluetooth config, please? | 05:01 |
| mjc | illume: it's prefs -> sound -> preferences button -> external amp | 05:01 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: its kinda gay not seeing the boot process though, just a black screen | 05:01 |
| illume | system->preferences->sound | 05:01 |
| Fezzler | Don't know why, but 8.10 runs MUCH faster than 8.04 on my old, old AMD PC. Why? | 05:02 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: probably. you have to check xorg's log | 05:02 |
| dmphotography | What is a good firewall for Linux? | 05:02 |
| whatev | what's the linux equiv of netstat -b? | 05:02 |
| unop | Yossarian, some routers have a reset mechanism (usually a switch or pin-hole at the back) - you could try that | 05:02 |
| mjc | Fezzler: quite a bit of optimizations in the kernel, at the very least; 2.6.28 should help low memory boxes as well | 05:02 |
| unop | whatev, what does netstat -b do? | 05:02 |
| illume | mjc: doesn't seem to be that preferences button | 05:02 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: nothing again | 05:02 |
| whatev | unop in windows it shows the name of the program running on the port, ie apache instead of just 80 | 05:03 |
| Yossarian | unop: tried, no avail | 05:03 |
| Aster0ID | how do I configure xserver in live cd? | 05:03 |
| john_ | ryanprior, my ubuntu is on a sata 500gig drive and I was playing around with a 200gig that failed sometime back, and after not getting it to work I went to try to go back to ubuntu and allI can get now is this (initramfs) | 05:03 |
| Yossarian | i think i need something a bit more hard-core :) | 05:03 |
| Fezzler | mjc: Seems like my wireless connection is more reliable too. The upgrade from within 8.04 was stunning! | 05:03 |
| illume | system->preferences->sound brings up a dialog "Sound preferences" with Devices and Sounds tabs | 05:03 |
| Yossarian | is therre any way to track down its IP from the mac address? | 05:03 |
| durt | dmphotography: all depends what you want to do. | 05:03 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: live cd worked? | 05:03 |
| anima_ | Could someone help me with my bluetooth config, please? | 05:03 |
| dmphotography | Run an Apache server, protect myself against attacks. | 05:03 |
| unop | whatev, from the netstat(1) manpage - -p, --program Show the PID and name of the program to which each socket belongs. | 05:04 |
| ryanprior | john_: Is the 200G drive still in the box? | 05:04 |
| mjc | Fezzler: a lot of wireless changes between earlier 2.6s and 2.6.27; there are even more coming in 2.6.29 | 05:04 |
| mjc | Fezzler: what card, if I may ask | 05:04 |
| durt | dmphotography: try arno's-iptables-firewall script | 05:04 |
| whatev | unop thanks | 05:04 |
| john_ | no it is out and the only drives I have in now are the 500gig for ubuntu and an 80 gig for Windows | 05:04 |
| Fezzler | mjc: What wireless card? | 05:04 |
| mjc | Fezzler: yes | 05:04 |
| dmphotography | Alright, thanks. | 05:05 |
| john_ | ryanprior, ^^^ | 05:05 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: well the gui installer worked | 05:05 |
| ryanprior | john_: Can you boot into Windows? Also, quit it with the double-posting. Just put my name before the response. | 05:05 |
| ryanprior | !anyone | anima_ | 05:05 |
| ubottu | anima_: 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? | 05:05 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: i downloaded the desktop.iso and chose to install ubuntu right away, booted into what looked like a gnome session and installer ran fine | 05:05 |
| john_ | ryanprior, ok I will quit with double post | 05:06 |
| illume | mjc: sorry to bother... but I can't find the external amp option anywhere... system->preferences->sound doesn't have a preferences button for me | 05:06 |
| john_ | let me try to boot windows | 05:06 |
| illume | I'll search the interweb some more... :) | 05:06 |

| Sarthor | Hi, I am using this link for helping to use 2 gateways for my linux router, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IProuteRoundRobbin the 2nd gateway is not working, some sites opening and some not, I am here for help | 05:07 |
| mjc | Fezzler: USB, or PCI? if pci, what is the line for it output by lspci | 05:07 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: okay. this time, let's sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 05:07 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: and edit xorg.conf to use vesa | 05:07 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: find out more about your intel onboard | 05:07 |
| anima_ | ubottu: ok, I'll rephrase. Basically I'm an idiot. My pc was paired with my phone in order to exchange my contact list before I installed ubuntu. Now it's not. I've tried the system/control center/bluetooth thing with my phone in discovery mode but my pc doesn't see it. What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it? Thank you in advance. | 05:07 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:07 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: sounds good | 05:07 |
| john_ | ryanprior, it seems to be booting in to Windows | 05:08 |
| anima_ | My phone doesn't see my pc, either, btw. And yes the wireless switch is on. | 05:08 |
| Aster0ID | How do I add the line for a resolution I want X to use? | 05:09 |
| Aster0ID | in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:09 |
| Aster0ID | I get "video not supported" when I try to run live cd | 05:09 |
| ryanprior | john_: If it boots into Windows fine, then it's either a problem with the 500G hard drive, or it's a problem with the software thereon. In the first case, you get to buy new hardware and reinstall; in the second case, you should boot into the LiveCD and use that to recover as well as you can, or failing that update your backups and reinstall. | 05:09 |
| deagle | how can i make the side scroll mouse button not be backwards? | 05:10 |
| deagle | if i tilt it to the left, it scrolls to the right | 05:10 |
| Yossarian | bump: any way i can get a router's IP from knowing only the mac? | 05:10 |
| deagle | Yossarian: do an IP scan and look for matchin MAC | 05:10 |
| deagle | *matching | 05:10 |
| ryanprior | anima_: Have you used the Bluetooth configuration applet (System -> Preferences -> Bluetooth) to configure your computer yet? | 05:10 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: hrmm..i just did a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and it seems theres some updates for xserver-xorg-video-intel gonna try that and see what happens before i mess around with my x config | 05:11 |
| john_ | ryanprior, ok I have found a post as well I am going to try a few things there before I buy another drive | 05:11 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: okay | 05:11 |
| john_ | ryanprior, but I have been wanting a 1tb | 05:12 |
| ryanprior | john_: It's likely that you'll be able to recover most or all your data from the disk, if it's booting as far as initramfs. | 05:12 |
| brandon_ | is there a better theme manager than emerald? | 05:12 |
| === bizkit_ is now known as bizkit | ||
| anima_ | I tried, but it's not sticking - i.e. the name doesn't stay. Hold on I'll try again. | 05:12 |
| Yossarian | deagle: how do you mean? do an ip scan for what? all i know is the router's physical address | 05:12 |
| ryanprior | brandon_: Pretty much any. Emerald is officially dead now - it's been dropped by the Compiz team. | 05:12 |
| anima_ | yeah no that doesn't work because the settings don't stay put. | 05:13 |
| Yossarian | and i can't even connect to it, it won't give an ip address. i can connect wit ubuntu only if i specify a static ip | 05:13 |
| ryanprior | brandon_: The new hotness is Jasper I believe, but I don't think it is ready for prime time yet. I suggest using Metacity with compositing enabled, personally. | 05:13 |
| john_ | ryanprior, I was not able to boot the live cd either I tried that before I grab my laptop | 05:13 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: don't worry this wont take long, only 225mb of updates to install haha about 3 mins ill report back to ya :P | 05:13 |
| deagle | Yossarian: as far as I know, there's no such thing as a MAC address to IP address converter | 05:14 |
| ryanprior | anima_: I don't know how to help you then. I'm not much of a bluetooth debugger. My suggestions are: ask every few hours in this room, search the Ubuntu forums and Google, post on the Ubuntu forums if a few searches with different keywords turn up nothing, and just keep trying stuff out. | 05:14 |
| ryanprior | john_: Really, can't boot the LiveCD? | 05:14 |
| deagle | Yossarian: try finding a utility that sends packets to MAC addresses and traceroute the IP from there | 05:14 |
| anima_ | k, thanks. I hate stumping y'all. | 05:14 |
| Yossarian | deagle: any idea of an application lke this? | 05:15 |
| ryanprior | john_: Being able to boot Windows but not the LiveCD is very strange IMO. You should be able to boot from the LiveCD without any hard drives in at all. (I've done it.) | 05:15 |
| john_ | ryanprior, yes I would not let me boot live cd | 05:15 |
| Sarthor | Hi, I am using this link for helping to use 2 gateways for my linux router, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IProuteRoundRobbin the 2nd gateway is not working, some sites opening and some not, I am here for help | 05:15 |

| john_ | ryanprior, I have as well with out HD's I use XFLD thatway all the time | 05:16 |
| ryanprior | brandon_: If you disable visual effects in System -> Preferences -> Appearance, that will fall back to Metacity. | 05:16 |
| ogre | can someone tell me how to cobtrol the brightness of my screen plz? | 05:17 |
| Yossarian | i'm so glad i moved to ubuntu :) | 05:17 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: is there anyway to disable compiz totally? cause when i removed it it only removed 68k from my hdd it said, so most of the compiz packages are still there, how do i disable it from a cli? | 05:17 |
| ryanprior | john_: Well, I have no knowledge of how a computer that had previously booted Ubuntu fine could boot Windows from HD but not Ubuntu from the LiveCD, unless the CD drive was bad. So, try with a different CD drive. | 05:17 |
| kole | insanly random... all of a sudden both firefox and openoffice arnt working right | 05:17 |
| kole | firefox has a random java error and then has no backbutton, no way to add favourites etc | 05:18 |

| kole | and open office says something about not knowing the language and doesn't open at all | 05:18 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: or aptitude search ~icompiz | 05:18 |
| kole | i tried uninstalling and reinstalling and got nuttin | 05:18 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: better yet, aptitude purge ~icompiz | 05:19 |

| GaryDarko | Hello, lol im getting a little aggravated now because it has been a straight week and i still have no success with trying to enable my nvidia 6600 GT GFX card on ubuntu 8.10... ive tried almost everything and it always ends up with me having to reformat and start with a new fresh version lol. can anyone help me out ? please. | 05:19 |
| ryanprior | kole: Did you uninstall your language pack perhaps? | 05:19 |
| RulerOf | question: I want to uninstall IETd from my ubuntu server, but can't figure out the package name for "apt-get remove" | 05:19 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: aptitude can find all those | 05:19 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: ok ill try that, btw whats the ~i ??? | 05:19 |
| kole | ryanprior, - I didnt do anything... thats what's confusing me... one second it worked, the next, nothing | 05:19 |
| RulerOf | at least I think iscsi enterprise target is IETd :P | 05:19 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: it's a flag thing. searches for all installed packages | 05:19 |
| john_ | ryanprior, your not going to beilive this but after rebooting from windows to Wonderful UBUNTU it started back up thank you for your help, but I dont think either one of us fixed it | 05:19 |
| ryanprior | GaryDarko: If the restricted drivers manager doesn't do it, then please file a bug and let the software guys work things out. | 05:20 |
| mjc | Fezzler: locating a summary of changes post 2.6.27 for you, so you can see what's coming :) | 05:20 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: other flags include: ~U for available upgrades, ~c for remaining config files | 05:20 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: other flags include: ~v for virtual packages | 05:20 |
| ryanprior | john_: That is a strange tale, but at least it has a happy ending. =D | 05:20 |
| GaryDarko | ryanprior, lol theres already been bug post on this... many times over and over again, it so far has not done any good for any of those people that are having the exact same issue.. dropping to a shell after enabling a GFX driver. | 05:21 |
| john_ | ryanprior, I dont get it but I am happy to have it back | 05:21 |
| G-Blunted | Hey can someone help me with this package problem? libc, and system-backend-tools won't install correct....they are "half-configured" so dpkg tries to install them every time i install another package, and it fails every time: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115866/ | 05:21 |
| Fezzler | mjc: I continued to be floored by how well and fast Ubuntu runs on an old AMD Athlon PC with only 628 meg ram | 05:21 |
| kole | ack | 05:21 |
| skeebo | Is there a channel for virtual machines that anyone knows of? | 05:22 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: funny how ubuntu installs compiz on a system that can't even run it, should have better video detection than that you think? | 05:22 |
| kole | ryanprior, - ok im in synaptic.... which language pack for open office should i have installed?. theres hundreds here | 05:22 |
| ryanprior | GaryDarko: That sucks. My best suggestion, then, is to go buy an ATI graphics card. Those guys have worked a lot harder on Linux support, they deserve it. | 05:22 |
| john_ | ryanprior, but I really wanted the 1tb hd | 05:22 |
| mjc | Fezzler: looks like "access point mode" was added to ath5k in 2.6.29 so you could make your linux box an access point | 05:22 |
| G-Blunted | Fezzler, "only" 628meg ram? | 05:22 |
| mjc | maybe earlier than that, 2008-10-31 | 05:23 |
| ryanprior | john_: Buy one, then. I suggest Western Digital. | 05:23 |
| GaryDarko | ryanprior, lol thats kinda stupid though.. a free OS but oh wait sorry you have to buy a new graphics card while your at it.. ;p | 05:23 |
| Fezzler | G-Blunted: Well, my Tandy 100 has 32k and that runs fast too! And I get 20hrs on 4 AA batteries. | 05:23 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: ya I think video detection failed. or maybe intel driver faulty. it would install compiz if it knows intel driver would run | 05:23 |
| kole | the english language pack is here and installed | 05:23 |
| mjc | Fezzler: here's a direct link to the changelog on linus' tree, if you're curious you can read the descriptions of some of the changesets http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=history;f=drivers/net/wireless/ath5k;hb=HEAD | 05:23 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: ok, well im looking at xorg after this update to see what video driver its using | 05:24 |
| Fezzler | mjc: Noob question. Why would I want my Ubuntu PC to be an "access point"? | 05:24 |
| ryanprior | GaryDarko: Unfortunately, not everybody's hardware works perfectly yet. A number of graphics cards have issues, a few Broadcom WiFi chips have issues, Creative X-Fi sound cards have issues, many webcams have issues... basically, it's a work in progress and since most manufacturers only support Windows, it leaves us with a lot of work to do. That's why I suggest that you support those... | 05:24 |
| john_ | ryanprior, I shall but thank you, thank you, thank you again. I had to say it three time to w/ the please's | 05:24 |
| ryanprior | ...companies (such as ATI) who are doing their part to help us out. | 05:24 |
| ryanprior | john_: Hehe. Have a good evening. :-) | 05:24 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: if it's 8.10, probably xorg.conf doesn't exist | 05:24 |
| mjc | Fezzler: you could use that to do your routing instead of using a buggy router as you mentioned | 05:24 |
| shavin | in pidgin what does right click menu of a buddy 'presence setting'>'Appear Permanently Offline' mean? Does it mean that I would appear offline to that buddy all the time? | 05:25 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: ??? /etc/X11/xorg.conf??? no longer? wtf | 05:25 |
| mjc | Fezzler: and put the router in a mode such that it only does wireless <-> wired bridging | 05:25 |
| Fezzler | mjc: Does that mean instead of connecting directly to the wireless router, devices in the house can connect to the Ubuntu PC? | 05:25 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: it's 8.10 then | 05:25 |
| GaryDarko | ryanprior, oh yes i do understand that, im just saying when i was on 8.04 it worked flawlessly just on 8.10 it drops to a shell and i have to reformat lol. | 05:25 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: whats 8.10? | 05:25 |
| === Octoroks is now known as oops | ||
| mjc | Fezzler: you'd essentially put the broadband connection in your ethernet port on the ubuntu box, and share it to other machines in the house yes :) | 05:25 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: or do you mean in 9.04 it doesnt exist? | 05:25 |
| === oops is now known as Octoroks | ||
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: ubuntu intrepid ibex. uses new xserver | 05:25 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: yeah jaunty too | 05:26 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: you can make it through the dpkg-reconfigure thing | 05:26 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: oh, yeah, well where can i find out what video driver xserver is trying to run? | 05:26 |
| sigma | hey guys, im looking to figure out why openoffice's fonts (in the menu bar and such) don't match with the fonts i choose for my gtk theme. | 05:26 |
| === sigma is now known as Guest97245 | ||
| === Guest97245 is now known as sigma92 | ||
| sigma92 | i assume it's because openoffice is a java app, but i dunno how to use that to my advantage. | 05:26 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: look up /var/log/Xorg.0.log . it lists the things Xorg's trying to load | 05:26 |
| Fezzler | mjc: Cool. I don't leave the Ubuntu PC on all the time. Old noisy power supply. I'm sure it is an energy hog. | 05:27 |
| cjae | how on earth do you make a full screen game like frets on fire, appear on just one of the screens when using twinview? | 05:27 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: use less for scrollable terminal viewer | 05:27 |
| mjc | Fezzler: there might be some tools to help you do that but it's probably easier to locate third party firmware for the router first rather than learning how to set up linux routing... also note that a lot of power management improvements have been made recently as someone added a feature to track power consumption for debugging purposes to Linux within the past year or so | 05:28 |
| kole | ...so no idea on either front? | 05:28 |
| ryanprior | kole: I have language-pack-en, language-pack-en-base, language-pack-gnome-en, language-pack-gnome-en-base, language-support-en, language-support-writing-en, language-support-translations-en | 05:28 |
| Fezzler | mjc: one thing I like about modern computer is the noise level is down | 05:28 |
| mjc | Fezzler: so a lot of developers have been working on drastically reducing power consumption :) | 05:28 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: haha this old p4 is working hard on these updates lol, not used to this haha my dual-core just zings in ubuntu | 05:28 |
| ryanprior | kole: If any of those are missing, it could lead to some sort of problem, but I'm not an expert on those systems so please do not take my word for it. | 05:28 |
| mjc | Fezzler: did you build your old system? | 05:28 |
| G-Blunted | Hey how can i get Synaptic Package Manager logs?? It's giving me errors on a package install and i wanna copy/paste those but it won't let me out of the window...wheres the logs at? | 05:28 |
| whatev | i use tightvnc in windows, is tightvnc in linux good or is x11vnc better? | 05:29 |
| mjc | G-Blunted: you could do the same command in a terminal via: sudo apt-get install packagename | 05:29 |
| Fezzler | mjc: Sort of, I go to Goodwill and scrounge parts. | 05:29 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: so far boot time and what i've seen is not bad for a 2.0ghz p4 with 768mb ram :P | 05:29 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: cmon, p4 is not that weak | 05:29 |
| G-Blunted | hmm.. | 05:29 |
| mjc | Fezzler: did you install the heatsink by yourself? on the CPU | 05:29 |
| ryanprior | whatev: We suggest Vinagre as a VNC client for Ubuntu. | 05:29 |
| mjc | Fezzler: if so there are companies that make silent fans / silent heatsinks | 05:30 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: not bad but this pc is like 5-6 years old | 05:30 |
| Tr3y- | So, I asked this earlier got no answers, Theres more people here so I'll try again. Whats a good 3d graphics editor that isn't blender | 05:30 |
| Fezzler | mjc: I think the PS fan makes more noise than the heat sink. | 05:30 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: ah i see. must be motherboard bus or something | 05:30 |
| mjc | Tr3y-: blender is the only one I know of that works well and is open source. do you want to consider closed source as well? | 05:30 |
| Tr3y- | mjc: it doesnt bother me if it's closed source | 05:31 |
| mjc | Fezzler: you can replace those as well with some effort but I really don't recommend it. try craigslist for cheap PSUs | 05:31 |
| Tr3y- | i just don't like blender | 05:31 |
| vineeth | hi | 05:31 |
| mjc | Tr3y-: Alias Wavefront makes Maya for linux | 05:31 |
| Tr3y- | guessing theres nothing like zbrush is there? | 05:31 |
| mjc | Tr3y-: actually looks like they were bought by autodesk, I think | 05:31 |
| mjc | Tr3y-: if you are interested in raytracing, povray is literally one of the best | 05:32 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: w00t haha just needed those updates i guess. seems to be working good now :P | 05:33 |
| Tr3y- | I'll check it out thanks mjc | 05:33 |
| === Fizban is now known as Steelflint | ||
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: then want to reinstall compiz? :) | 05:34 |
| whatev | i have 2 computers in my network. default gateway is 192.168.1.1. i can ping my linux computer fine from windows, but can't ping my windows computer from linux. any idea why? | 05:34 |
| LEO_ | Is there anything I can do to reconfigure X on live CD so that monitor will not say "Video more not supported"? | 05:34 |
| binarymutant | anyone ever use dvtm? | 05:34 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: nope this wont handle compositing, onboard video = gay :P | 05:34 |
| ryanprior | !anyone | binarymutant | 05:34 |
| ubottu | binarymutant: 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? | 05:34 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: hey, my pc's also onboard video!! | 05:35 |
| ryanprior | billybigrigger: Please be mature with your comments. That's not appreciated. | 05:35 |
| binarymutant | how do I use dvtm? | 05:35 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: not 6 years old though | 05:35 |
| |syockit| | billybigrigger: 6 years: i845 series I suppose. sux | 05:35 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: haha your good :P | 05:36 |
| schnoootop | hello if i create a bin file in my home folder, will all those files be executable from terminal or will i need to link them to /usr/bin ? | 05:36 |
| vineeth | what is dvtm? | 05:36 |
| ryanprior | binarymutant: To install it, go to Synaptic (System -> Administration -> Synaptic) and search for dvtm, select it, and click on Apply. | 05:36 |
| binarymutant | vineeth, it's like dwm but doesn't require Xorg | 05:36 |
| mefisto__ | whatev: windows firewall? | 05:36 |
| |syockit| | schnoootop: yes, you need to, unless you include your bin in your bash profile | 05:36 |
| ryanprior | binarymutant: Then, once it's installed, read the dvtm documentation (http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/dvtm/) for more info. | 05:36 |
| binarymutant | ryanprior, I've compiled it, but how do I use it? I've read the docs but they are lacking | 05:37 |
| |syockit| | schnoootop: I suggest editing bash profile, adding your bin to list of path | 05:37 |
| ryanprior | binarymutant: I'd ask their mailing list if I were you. I doubt there are many dvtm experts here. | 05:37 |
| sk8ball | is there something better than nictoine plus for p2p music sharing | 05:37 |
| sk8ball | ?? | 05:37 |
| binarymutant | ryanprior, how do I open a new "terminal" with dvtm? | 05:37 |
| ryanprior | binarymutant: I've never used it. I'm a screens user, myself. | 05:38 |
| binarymutant | thanks anyways :/ | 05:38 |
| ryanprior | sk8ball: bit torrent > all. | 05:38 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: this old gal actually doesnt run too bad in ubuntu :P slower than molasses in january with xp on it haha, thanks for the help btw :P greatly appreciated | 05:38 |
| Aperture_Science | ._. So, folks.. I have an issue. I just installed the nvidia driver package on ubuntu, (my video card set is SLI 2x nvidia 8800GT cards). when I restarted after installing the driver package, my GNOME won't start, or maybe it's X that won't start. I'm not sure. | 05:39 |
| schnoootop | |syockit|, how exactly do i do that :\ | 05:39 |
| emet | I get an error when I do: cowsay -fduck "Hello children!" | 05:39 |
| billybigrigger | |syockit|: firefox loads in 4 secs with OO in about 7 thats not too shabby at all :P | 05:39 |
| emet | anyone know why this might be? | 05:39 |
| emet | Bareword found where operator expected at /usr/share/cowsay/cows/duck.cow line 3, near ")_" <-- that's the error | 05:40 |
| billybigrigger | can anyone suggest a good piece of webcam software besides cheese? or is cheese about the only option i have? | 05:40 |
| emet | billybigrigger: for talking with people? | 05:40 |
| ryanprior | emet: There's an error in the perl code for the duck printer. Time to put your hacking hat on. | 05:40 |
| |syockit| | schnoootop: in your .bashrc, add the line: export PATH=$PATH:<user bin path> | 05:40 |
| |syockit| | schnoootop: example: export PATH=$PATH:/home/shnutop/bin | 05:41 |
| emet | ryanprior: this is a very serious bug, have the developers been alerted to it? | 05:41 |
| billybigrigger | emet: no just to use the webcam, skype is good for webcam chat | 05:41 |
| emet | just to like take pictures? | 05:42 |
| Aperture_Science | Anyone have an idea what could be causing my problem? | 05:42 |
| whatev | can vinagre use ssl? | 05:42 |
| emet | cheese is the only thing I know | 05:42 |
| ryanprior | emet: Feel free to open a bug against the cowsay package, but don't be surprised when those lamers mark it as a "low priority" bug. | 05:42 |
| ryanprior | whatev: Yes it can. | 05:42 |
| |syockit| | Aperture_Science: prob x failed with the driver. checked the forums? | 05:43 |
| blueraven | what's the best app site for ubuntu? | 05:43 |
| blueraven | is their an equivalent of something like download.com? | 05:43 |
| emet | blueraven: Applications -> Add/Remove Software | 05:43 |
| G-Blunted | uhh | 05:43 |
| mjc | built in :) | 05:43 |
| G-Blunted | lol | 05:43 |
| G-Blunted | Add/Remove Programs | 05:44 |
| ryanprior | blueraven: Ubuntu has a built-in app browser that you can access via Applications -> Add/Remove Software. | 05:44 |
| G-Blunted | or Synaptic Package Manager | 05:44 |
| blueraven | that has all of them? | 05:44 |
| ryanprior | blueraven: For packages not available there, getdeb.net is a good place to look. | 05:44 |
| |syockit| | and if you still need more, getdeb.com | 05:44 |
| |syockit| | oh, .net | 05:44 |
| Aperture_Science | |syockit|, I did dpkg-reconfigure on xserver, and started it again, it says "Primary device is not PCI", "(EE) No devices detected" "Connection refused (errno 111)" and "Connection refused (errno 3) | 05:44 |
| kevin_ | hi | 05:45 |
| blueraven | is there an app that can remove the need for manually doing things in the command line? | 05:45 |
| |syockit| | Aperture_Science: just what manner of error is that! never seen one before | 05:45 |
| blueraven | I'd like things to be more automated like in windows | 05:45 |
| blueraven | without all the terminal stuff | 05:45 |
| kevin_ | can any1 help me out with my webcam? | 05:45 |
| blueraven | I haven't used dos in over 10 years | 05:45 |
| Cpudan80 | Aperture_Science: the cake is a lie! | 05:45 |
| Aperture_Science | I don't know. I wish I could send you a screenshot, but I've got ubuntu installed on a seperate partition on my main machine. So I have to shut down and reboot into ubuntu to try any fixes. | 05:46 |
| ryanprior | blueraven: The vast majority of administration tasks on the Ubuntu desktop can be accomplished without typing in any commands, luckily. | 05:46 |
| G-Blunted | What is the difference between packages: squid and squid3?? | 05:46 |
| |syockit| | Aperture_Science: I'm not qualified to help with nvidia errors though. I'm intel user | 05:47 |
| ryanprior | blueraven: Many of the interfaces and wizards required to accomplish those tasks are already built-in, and yet more can be installed via add/remove. | 05:47 |
| Aperture_Science | Oh that's okay. Do you think the nvidia driver install messed with xserver config? | 05:47 |
| emet | G-Blunted: squid3 is basically a different program | 05:47 |
| emet | G-Blunted: squad3 was a complete rewrite of squid, some people use the older version | 05:48 |
| emet | squid is the older version | 05:48 |
| G-Blunted | anyone know the difference between an Internet Object Cache (WWW Cache) and a Full featured Web Proxy cache (HTTP Cache)?? | 05:48 |
| |syockit| | emet: not just bleeding edge? | 05:48 |
| G-Blunted | oh | 05:48 |
| G-Blunted | so i should use squid3 and not squid huh? | 05:48 |
| emet | sure | 05:48 |
| blueraven | ryanprior, what about sh and get-apt | 05:50 |
| |syockit| | damn should 've known earlier. installing squid3 now | 05:50 |
| zendo | I intend to boot with live version of ubuntu | 05:50 |
| ryanprior | blueraven: Synaptic exists to remove the need to type in apt-get commands (System -> Administration -> Synaptic) and you can double-click .sh files on the desktop to run them as executables. | 05:51 |
| LogicalDash | I have a stale NFS file handle. This is odd because it's on a local ext2 file system, and I don't even have NFS installed. How do I get rid of it? | 05:51 |
| ryanprior | blueraven: Some .sh files require input from the keyboard, in which case you can select "run in terminal" when you double-click. | 05:51 |
| sk8ball | ryanprior, what bittorrent sites focus on music/mp3? | 05:51 |
| zendo | Can I boot from live ubuntu version on pc with SATA drive and be able to access all (NTFS) partitions? | 05:51 |
| ryanprior | sk8ball: I suggest Jamendo and Magnatune. | 05:52 |
| newubuntu-usr | Hi. I had a quick question. Does anyone know whether the 250mb of "recommended updates" are worth installing or should I weed through them? | 05:52 |
| tonsofpcs | anyone know how to play a "pc friendly" dvd? | 05:52 |
| billybigrigger | newubuntu-usr: install them | 05:52 |
| newubuntu-usr | @billy: Will they slow down my system? | 05:53 |
| ryanprior | newubuntu-usr: Refusing updates is a good way to get into trouble, since updates usually fix bugs and security flaws. | 05:53 |
| binarymutant | how do I get smaller console fonts? | 05:53 |
| billybigrigger | newubuntu-usr: they are updates for software packages that are installed on your system | 05:53 |
| ryanprior | binarymutant: Depends on what console you're using. Are you on gnome-terminal? | 05:53 |
| newubuntu-usr | @billy @ryan : Thanks for the help guys. | 05:53 |
| zendo | Can I boot from live ubuntu version on pc with SATA drive and be able to access all (NTFS) partitions? | 05:53 |
| Scunizi | how do I discover the wireless adaptors desigantion.. ie wifi0 or ath0 from terminal..no gui on this machine | 05:54 |
| binarymutant | ryanprior, not the terminal but the console, like ctrl+alt+f1 console | 05:54 |
| emet | zendo: can you? yes | 05:54 |
| n8tuser | zendo -> i believed you can | 05:54 |
| kindofabuzz | you can change the size of your fixed width font in appearance | 05:54 |
| billybigrigger | Scunizi: iwlist i believe | 05:54 |
| billybigrigger | Scunizi: or ifconfig actually | 05:54 |
| ryanprior | binarymutant: That I don't know. | 05:54 |
| n8tuser | Scunizi -> iwconfig | 05:54 |
| zendo | thank you | 05:54 |
| ryanprior | Scunizi: Try them all until one works. | 05:55 |
| Scunizi | thanks. looks like theres a package I need to install for server to recognize the atheros card | 05:55 |
| zendo | I had problems with 8.04 before so I wanted to check... | 05:55 |
| Don_Miguel | newubuntu-usr, is this a new install ? If it is NOT, that sounds like a LOT of updates ! | 05:56 |
| TTxT | hi | 05:56 |
| TTxT | anybody knows why when I try this command: gksudo mount -o loop /path/to/ISO /path/to/mountpoint I got this error: gksudo: invalid option -- 'o' | 05:58 |
| TTxT | anybody knows why when I try this command: gksudo mount -o loop /path/to/ISO /path/to/mountpoint I got this error: gksudo: invalid option -- 'o'? | 05:58 |
| kindofabuzz | TTxT, man mount | 05:58 |
| prince_jammys | TTxT: try gksudo -- mount -o .... | 05:58 |
| kindofabuzz | try sudo, no need for gksuo on mount | 05:59 |
| prince_jammys | TTxT: it seems that gksudo thinks the -o option is a gksudo option | 05:59 |
| trygg | How do I run something in a terminal silently? | 05:59 |
| trygg | -s didn't work. | 05:59 |
| prince_jammys | TTxT: ah, yeah, and just use sudo. | 05:59 |
| kindofabuzz | trygg, you could just put & after the command | 05:59 |
| ogre | can someone tell me how to control the brightness of my screen plz? | 05:59 |
| TTxT | prince_jammys: thanks that worked | 06:00 |
| kindofabuzz | ogre, you could use your monitor settings on the monitor itself | 06:00 |
| trygg | kindofabuzz: still is active in the terminal. | 06:00 |
| tritium | ogre: laptop? Depends on the hardware. | 06:00 |
| prince_jammys | TTxT: yeah, but you didn't need gksudo to run 'mount' | 06:00 |
| TTxT | prince_jammys: dont know why gksudo thinks -o is a gksudo option | 06:01 |
| ryanprior | kindofabuzz: That's for background processes. | 06:01 |
| kindofabuzz | yeah but it also doesn't put out any output | 06:01 |
| ryanprior | trygg: ./myprog 2>&1 >/dev/null | 06:01 |
| prince_jammys | TTxT: some GNU utils accept options anywhere in the command line. a common way to say 'options are over' is -- | 06:01 |
| ryanprior | trygg: That will throw away stdout and stderr. | 06:01 |
| trygg | Well, not silently, I meant in background. :) | 06:01 |
| TTxT | prince_jammys:Thanks again | 06:01 |
| TTxT | prince_jammys: didnt know that | 06:02 |
| ryanprior | trygg: It pays to be precise! kindofabuzz gave good advice then. | 06:02 |
| prince_jammys | TTxT: doesn't apply to all programs | 06:02 |
| kindofabuzz | TTxT, if you read the man of mount, it says you must use -a with -o | 06:02 |
| trygg | Yeah, I'm sorry about that. | 06:02 |
| trygg | So, any tip on making a program run in background in terminal? :) | 06:03 |
| prince_jammys | trygg: command & | 06:03 |
| kindofabuzz | i just told you | 06:04 |
| trygg | I want it to just execute and then free up the terminal. It isn't doing that with & atleast. | 06:04 |
| trygg | Maybe I'm being to vague. | 06:04 |
| prince_jammys | trygg: you want it to remain alive after you close the terminal? | 06:04 |
| kindofabuzz | yes & will work, if it keeps going you can just trlc it i think | 06:05 |
| trygg | Exactly. | 06:05 |
| prince_jammys | trygg: command & disown | 06:05 |
| trygg | Ah, there it is. | 06:05 |
| kindofabuzz | ctrl c i meant | 06:05 |
| ryanprior | trygg: You mean you want to be able to log out and still have it active? In that case, you need to daemonize the process. One easy way of doing that is by using GNU screens. | 06:05 |
| kindofabuzz | or use screen =) | 06:05 |
| trygg | I got it now. Thanks. :) | 06:05 |

| prince_jammys | Scunizi: in the interface? | 06:06 |
| prince_jammys | Scunizi: '+' | 06:06 |
| Scunizi | ah | 06:07 |
| Scunizi | prince_jammys: just couldn't figure that one out.. thanks | 06:07 |

| harley | why wont any of my music play? | 06:13 |
| MeVsTheVoices | harley: Why won't we elaborate? | 06:14 |
| harley | MeVsTheVoices, Sorry, what? | 06:14 |
| gleesond | is there a way to make it so drives and network drives don't show up on the desktop? | 06:15 |
| MeVsTheVoices | harley: Why wont my music play is hardly terms for a diagnosis, what OS, do other sounds play, does the startup sound play, does it only happen with certain forms of music, what soundcard are we using | 06:15 |
| MeVsTheVoices | gleesond: Look through the nat settings in gconf-editor | 06:16 |
| harley | MeVsTheVoices, I have a realtek sound card, all sounds are playing besides my music (mp3 files and yes I have installed the codecs) and I'm using ubuntu 8.10 | 06:16 |
| gleesond | MeVsTheVoices: thanks | 06:17 |
| MeVsTheVoices | gleesond: No prob | 06:17 |
| MeVsTheVoices | harley: so you have the good/bad/ugle plugins | 06:17 |
| harley | MeVsTheVoices, and now there just working again. My songs usually sit at 0:00 | 06:17 |
| harley | MeVsTheVoices, when I turn the computer on again they most likely wont work again | 06:18 |
| MeVsTheVoices | harley: totem, rhythmbox? | 06:18 |
| harley | MeVsTheVoices, Banshee, I have tried with about 3 different media players. | 06:18 |
| harley | MeVsTheVoices, they all do the same thing | 06:18 |
| kindofabuzz | anyone ever run badblocks? how long does it usually take? | 06:18 |
| MeVsTheVoices | harley: So probably ALSA, does it start working when you restart, or only works after seemingly random reboots | 06:19 |
| cell | hi there | 06:19 |
| MeVsTheVoices | cell: hi | 06:19 |
| harley | MeVsTheVoices, Just randomly :S it sometimes when I turn on the computer, sometimes it works fine | 06:19 |
| Sarthor | Hi, I am using this link for helping to use 2 gateways for my linux router, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IProuteRoundRobbin the 2nd gateway is not working, some sites opening and some not, I am here for help..firewall is here http://pastebin.com/m7f3c9ca1 | 06:19 |
| Datzy | Hello. Is there a way I can enter a static address for to be used for different wireless networks? Say, a different one for each network that I would connect to? | 06:19 |
| MeVsTheVoices | harley: Okie doke, weird had the same thing with windows a while back, gimme a minute, *utilizes googles powers* | 06:20 |
| harley | MeVsTheVoices, haha thanks, I wasn't having much luck with google | 06:20 |
| MeVsTheVoices | harley: Google is a skill, so is reading, and asking the right qustion | 06:21 |
| Datzy | is there a command I can use to set a certain static address for the pc? | 06:22 |
| MeVsTheVoices | harley: try `sudo alsa reload` see if you get anything | 06:22 |
| bbns_bt | hi | 06:24 |
| bbns_bt | heee | 06:24 |
| |syockit| | Datzy: no, you edit the interfaces file | 06:25 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Datzy: No, static addresses are assigned by your isp, if you want a new internal static, look into your router settings | 06:25 |
| harley | MeVsTheVoices, if my music doesn't play again should I use that command? | 06:25 |
| MeVsTheVoices | harley: Did it start working? | 06:25 |
| Datzy | MeVsTheVoices: Sorry meant internal address | 06:26 |
| jza | hi where can I find real-codecs | 06:26 |
| jza | I wnat to transcode video from rmvb | 06:26 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Datzy: Then diddle with your router settings | 06:26 |
| harley | MeVsTheVoices, It was already working again as soon as I asked you why it wasn't working :P | 06:26 |
| harley | MeVsTheVoices, that's how random it is | 06:26 |
| mjc | jza: ffmpeg or vlc should be able to do that | 06:26 |
| jza | ffmpeg lacks the real codecs | 06:27 |
| nyaa | does anyone know what the dm in nodmraid stands for? | 06:27 |
| mjc | nyaa: device mapper | 06:27 |
| Scunizi | Ok.. now my system recognized my atheros card and I've installed restricted extras to enable atheros cards.. I've done sudo ifdown eth0 to bring down the wired connection and tried sudo ifup ath0 with no results.. any ideas? | 06:27 |
| Nom- | Does anyone know of a good reason why linux-virtual doesn't exist on x86_64 ? | 06:27 |
| jza | once I have the codecs then, I would be able to transcode with ffmpeg | 06:27 |
| |syockit| | MeVsTheVoices, datzy's playing with several networks, not just one | 06:27 |
| MeVsTheVoices | harley: Eggs thats weird, if it tries up again try specifying verbose (usually -v or --versbose) to whatever your using, then posting the output | 06:27 |
| Datzy | |syockit|: Would I be able to set certain wireless AP's to use certain local static addresses through editing that file? | 06:27 |
| nyaa | mjc thanks =) | 06:27 |
| harley | MeVsTheVoices, ok, thanks for all your help. | 06:28 |
| mjc | nyaa: "dmraid discovers block and software RAID devices (eg, ATARAID) by using multiple different metadata format handlers which support various formats (eg, Highpoint 37x series). It offers activating RAID sets made up by 2 or more discovered RAID devices, display properties of devices and sets." | 06:28 |
| MeVsTheVoices | harley: No prob, hope I helped some | 06:28 |
| mjc | nyaa: and dm is used for a lot of other things as well but dmraid is a specific driver that uses dm | 06:28 |
| Datzy | |syockit|: I think it would be a nice option if ubuntu could assign certain static addresses for saved wireless networks. Saves things like keys and ssid. I wonder where I could put in a request for such a feature.. | 06:28 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Datzy: Ubuntu doesn't have control over that | 06:29 |
| * Datzy takes a look at the forums | 06:29 | |
| MeVsTheVoices | Datzy: Computers are assigned IP, only in special cases do they get a choice | 06:29 |
| Datzy | MeVsTheVoices: Thats why I would suggest it as an option :) | 06:29 |
| jza | mjc: I got unsoported video codec | 06:29 |
| Datzy | MeVsTheVoices: yes, in cases where ports are forwarded for certain addresses | 06:30 |
| Datzy | and probably other cases too | 06:30 |
| nyaa | mjc thanks =) I was trying to help a friend get his raid to work and that answers the problem he had with fakeraid | 06:30 |
| |syockit| | Datzy: hmm, I thought you could set manual ip config per connection? | 06:30 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Datzy: Or its an old school router that remembers MAC | 06:30 |
| mjc | nyaa: no problem :) | 06:30 |
| Datzy | |syockit|: Thats what I'd like to know | 06:31 |
| mjc | nyaa: I wish people would quit making fakeraid | 06:31 |
| winlow | My Ubuntu [8.10] installation is freezing after X is initialized. | 06:31 |
| Datzy | MeVsTheVoices: Well, my friend has a new router that does that, and its quite nice | 06:32 |
| winlow | I see the pretty painting, but that's it. | 06:32 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Datzy: HAHA, old school is new school | 06:32 |
| Datzy | MeVsTheVoices: Don't have to set a static address for port forwarding. | 06:32 |
| Datzy | lol | 06:32 |
| * Datzy looks for the interface file | 06:34 | |
| |syockit| | Datzy: on second thought, network manager should be handling that | 06:35 |
| cell | i ve a question. did anybody setup xubuntu on wirtual macihne like "virtual PC". that becasue i am new in ubuntu.. | 06:35 |
| |syockit| | Datzy: you sure gnome's connection manager's got no manual ip config per connection? | 06:35 |
| MeVsTheVoices | cell: Yes, its possible | 06:35 |
| PuTrA_caem | dad | 06:35 |
| Datzy | |syockit|: Pretty sure | 06:35 |
| vin | hi | 06:37 |

| pwill | my keyboard seems to be registering buttons incorrectly.... | 06:37 |
| MeVsTheVoices | cell: I've done a U/Kbuntu install should be the same | 06:38 |

| sk8ball | is there a command to list all partitions on a given (or all hdds) | 06:38 |
| sk8ball | ? | 06:38 |
| whatev | sk8ball df -m ? | 06:38 |
| MeVsTheVoices | sk8ball: fdisk -l | 06:38 |
| unop | sk8ball, sudo fdisk -l | 06:39 |
| sk8ball | will that list ntfs paritions as well | 06:39 |
| MeVsTheVoices | sk8ball: Yes | 06:39 |
| sk8ball | not just linux and swap? | 06:39 |
| MeVsTheVoices | sk8ball: Yes | 06:39 |
| unop | sk8ball, fdisk does not know about filesystems | 06:39 |
| |syockit| | Datzy: lol http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-set-a-static-ip-address-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html says remove gnome network manager. maybe it really sux | 06:40 |
| MeVsTheVoices | sk8ball: Thats wrong, it will show partition type | 06:40 |
| MeVsTheVoices | pesky unop | 06:40 |
| |syockit| | Datzy: says install wicd for good control | 06:40 |
| unop | MeVsTheVoices, no, the type assigned to a partition is not an actual reflection of the filesystem the partition is formatted as | 06:40 |
| MeVsTheVoices | unop: Doesn't matter, you set the partition type w/i partition, then give it a FS | 06:41 |
| jerbear | is there a reason why QT apps don't respect the GTK2_RC_FILES variable? | 06:42 |
| MeVsTheVoices | unop: So unless you botched the original fdisk, yes, it will | 06:42 |
| zash | jerbear: Qt is not GTK+ | 06:42 |
| unop | MeVsTheVoices, you're right, the partition type doesn't matter - you can have a partition type of 0x83 (linux) but still format the partition as NTFS | 06:42 |
| Datzy | |syockit|: ha interesting | 06:43 |
| unop | MeVsTheVoices, so, i'll say again - fdisk doesn't know about filesystems - but it does know about partition types - which are two different things | 06:43 |
| jerbear | zash: i know this, but qt apps within gnome are obviously inheriting some settings from the gtk theme (colors, for instance). is there a way to override this? | 06:43 |
| MeVsTheVoices | unop: You can, but you shouldn't, if you partitioned it CORRECTLY, it will | 06:43 |
| unop | MeVsTheVoices, that's not the point | 06:43 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | I have been trying Ubuntu in a Triple-boot configuration for some time now on my laptop. Now I would like to have Ubuntu as the sole operating system. How can I do this? I have ubuntu installed in a secondary partition. | 06:44 |
| Datzy | |syockit|: at least I'm on 8.04 still | 06:44 |
| MeVsTheVoices | unop: No, I came to the point before, fdisk will show partition type, which is what he asked | 06:44 |
| |syockit| | Datzy: doesn't hurt to try | 06:44 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | And how can I do it without disturbing my current Ubuntu installation? | 06:44 |
| macman | guys .. i want to resize a windows partition using gparted .. how would i do this ? | 06:44 |
| |syockit| | Datzy: check solution 2 or 3 | 06:45 |
| n8tuser | macman-> which windows? | 06:45 |
| unop | MeVsTheVoices, fdisk doesn't know about filesytems | 06:45 |
| Datzy | |syockit|: Thanks, I'll take a look | 06:45 |

| Until_It_Sleeps | yup. no luck | 06:48 |
| The_Spazzz | I was wondering if someone could help me. I need a basic XORG.conf file that uses the VESA driver and supports 1028x768 Screen resolution for an old toshiba laptop | 06:48 |
| Scunizi | The_Spazzz: for the most part there's very little in xorg these days. .open it and change the listed driver to vesa and then restart x. that might just fix things | 06:49 |
| MeVsTheVoices | The_Spazzz: If your on 8.10, ubuntu recovery should be able to set one up for you | 06:49 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | Is it possible to combine partitions? | 06:50 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Until_It_Sleeps: Not without angering many, many unix gods | 06:51 |

| MeVsTheVoices | The_Spazzz: I take it the option is not under Screen Resolution? | 06:53 |

| Until_It_Sleeps | Well, I would like to have my Ubuntu installation as the sole os. I currently have a dual boot going atm. /dev/sda1 is an fat 16 partition, 23 MB in size, 18 mb used. /dev/sda2 is an NTFS partition with Windows XP Home installed. It's 23 GB in size, amount used is unknown. /dev/sda3 is an extended paritition 32 GB in size. In /dev/sda3 is /dev/sda7,5,and 6. sda7 is a Linux Swap partition. sda5 is now empty space, formatted | 06:54 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | as ext3, and sda6 is where my Ubuntu partition is located. (*Gasps for breath*) | 06:54 |

| MeVsTheVoices | The_Spazzz: Theres always modelines, haven't had to use unn'a dem' in a while | 06:56 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | I would like to have the Ubuntu installation take up the entire hdd, with the linux swap included as well. I don't want to disturb any information on the last partition though. | 06:56 |
| The_Spazzz | Scunizi : The system died in the middle and it hozed the repsoitory. Fixible? Probobly but not with the skills I have. It was simpler to just reload it and do a net install | 06:56 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | MeVsTheVoices: Hmmm. Is there something like, say, XP's "Files and settings transfer wizard" in Ubuntu? | 06:57 |

| jtaby | Hey, is it possible to execute a remote script locally somehow? | 07:03 |
| jtaby | maybe through ss? | 07:03 |
| MeVsTheVoices | jtaby: ssh | 07:03 |
| jtaby | MeVsTheVoices, well yeah but the script expect files to be submitted to it, and I don't want to have to upload the files | 07:03 |
| prince_jammys | easiest is to copy it and run it locally | 07:04 |
| MeVsTheVoices | jtaby: Yes, if you want it to run after you disconnect though your going to want to execute `nohup script` will ignore the SIGHUP recieved upon disconnect | 07:04 |
| jtaby | prince_jammys, won't run from a local machine | 07:04 |

| prince_jammys | belesprit: logs of what? | 07:05 |
| prince_jammys | output or the commands you entered? | 07:05 |
| belesprit | both | 07:05 |
| MeVsTheVoices | andresmh: If your on 8.04 or 8.10 your compute will select pulse, by default ALSA, any reason you want to change | 07:06 |

| andresmh | MeVsTheVoices, everytime I play sound on a Flash or Java applet the sound quality of my system turns very very low. So far the only way I can fix it is by rebooting. | 07:07 |
| andresmh | MeVsTheVoices, I was thinking if I switch to a different sound manager it might help, but I have no idea where or if that's even an good idea | 07:07 |
| prince_jammys | belesprit: well, perhaps you can configure your terminal so it does that. mine doesn't. maybe gnome-terminal does | 07:08 |
| coobra | is there a nice homepage that has securety stuff that neeeds to be fixed | 07:08 |
| andresmh | MeVsTheVoices, and I am on 8.10 by the way | 07:08 |
| MeVsTheVoices | andresmh: You sure its not just flash? Or does the quality keep, and come with other apps too | 07:08 |
| brjadams | Anyone able to help with webcam support? | 07:08 |
| andresmh | MeVsTheVoices, no, it is not just flash. Everything sounds horrible after playing something flash and it never comes back to normal quality. | 07:08 |
| harley | another problem :( | 07:09 |

| brjadams | its a sony laptop on 8.10, built in webcam. | 07:10 |
| andresmh | nyaa, I don't think it's related to Flash. Also Java applets have the same effect. And yes, I think I installed flash via synaptic. Not 100% sure though. | 07:10 |
| harley | andresmh, as in the symbol font, bunch of stars, circles and everything | 07:10 |

| andresmh | MeVsTheVoices, is there a way to "reboot" sound? | 07:11 |
| prince_jammys | brjadams: gnome has a hardware browser somewhere in the menus. see if it's listed there | 07:11 |
| === anhtna is now known as nathan_ | ||
| MeVsTheVoices | andresmh: Yea, best bet is `sudo alsa reboot` thats only a quick fix though | 07:11 |
| harley | also what irc client should I use? | 07:11 |
| nyaa | andresmh libflash fixed a sound issue I had, its not the player itself. | 07:11 |
| Scunizi | harley: irssi :) | 07:11 |
| prince_jammys | harley: xchat, pidgin, konversation (all graphical). irssi is a good command-line one | 07:12 |
| Scunizi | harley: but if you want a gui one.. xchat .. not xchat-gnome | 07:12 |
| prince_jammys | is pidgin an irc client? | 07:12 |
| andresmh | MeVsTheVoices, awesome! that worked. Well, it was actually sudo alsa reload | 07:12 |
| nDuff | prince_jammys, not a good one | 07:12 |
| harley | Scunizi, I'm using xchat, I can't stand it. | 07:12 |
| Scunizi | prince_jammys: yes but not a good one.. it's a better im client | 07:12 |
| MeVsTheVoices | harley: Yea, best bet is xchat | 07:12 |
| MeVsTheVoices | andresmh: Ahh, sorry, gumbybrain | 07:13 |
| andresmh | nyaa, how do I check if I have the libflash you suggest? | 07:13 |
| Scunizi | harley: once you get use to it it's cool.. try /window stick off | 07:13 |
| prince_jammys | harley: you can try konversation. it's a kde app | 07:13 |
| Scunizi | harley: then /window new | 07:13 |
| harley | Scunizi, says it isn't a command | 07:13 |
| brjadams | um i dont see anythin that shows me my hardware | 07:13 |
| brjadams | other than lspci, lsusb | 07:14 |
| Scunizi | harley: ok.. try .. /window new | 07:14 |
| brjadams | but neither showed me anything that looked like a camera | 07:14 |
| nyaa | andresmh system > administration > synaptic package manager then in there search for libflash, there are 2 apps, libflash0c2 and libflash-mozplugin | 07:14 |
| riz0n | hello, what is a good version of IRC server to run on Ubuntu?? Thanks. | 07:14 |
| prince_jammys | brjadams: there's also lshw , which you may have to install | 07:14 |
| andresmh | nyaa, is this the one you recommend: flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound Adobe Flash Player platform support library for Esound and OSS | 07:14 |
| andresmh | nyaa, i probably don't have the right sources because searching for libflash returns nothing | 07:15 |
| Scunizi | harley: once you do that use alt+<number> to switch to it. if you only have one channel open then alt+2 and then you can /join #<another channel> | 07:15 |
| andresmh | nyaa, are you on 8.10? | 07:15 |
| nyaa | andresmh yes | 07:15 |
| harley | Scunizi, Yeah that's a pretty good shortcut but it never wants to remember my nick names and such | 07:16 |
| nyaa | andresmh but how do I tell where a file in synaptic came from repository wise? I don't have much enabled | 07:16 |
| brjadams | nothing is sticking out | 07:16 |
| andresmh | you can right click on it and see properties | 07:16 |
| unop | nyaa, apt-cache policy package_name | 07:16 |
| andresmh | oh, unop knows better | 07:17 |
| brjadams | i see 4 usb items listed , but only have 3 usb ports | 07:17 |
| andresmh | nyaa, it's weird that you have libflash-mozplugin because it doesn't show up as active for intrepid: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/libflash-mozplugin | 07:17 |
| harley | Don_Miguel, there not answering, I think i'd get more support in here :( | 07:17 |
| Scunizi | harley: you mean on startup? you need to read on www.irssi.org (I think that's the address).. irssi combind with screen I'm really getting use to.. over the last 4 days I've been trying to live more at terminal just to see what I can do or if I can do the same things as the gui. | 07:17 |
| andresmh | it does show active for hardy http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libflash-mozplugin | 07:17 |
| MeVsTheVoices | libflashnonfree or something like that | 07:18 |
| nyaa | unop if I do that and it says version table: *** 0v4v13-9ubuntu1 0, then what repo did it come from? | 07:18 |
| harley | Scunizi, I'm talking about xchat, sorry for making you type all of that :P | 07:18 |
| === baddog is now known as baddog[bbs] | ||
| Flannel | nyaa: dpkg -S /path/to/file, that'll give you the package name. then apt-cache policy package, or all in one: apt-cache policy ${dpkg -S /path/to/file} | 07:18 |
| nyaa | andresmh I upgraded this from hardy a long time ago | 07:18 |
| andresmh | that explains | 07:18 |
| nyaa | yeah I didn't think about that | 07:18 |
| brjadams | i dont see anythin that looks like a Webcam | 07:19 |
| unop | Flannel, did you mean to use $() there ? | 07:19 |
| brjadams | i cant tell anything | 07:19 |
| Flannel | unop: Erm, sure. I always just use backticks. | 07:19 |
| brjadams | the only thing i can tell is that i have 4 usbs showing up and only have 3 physical usb slots | 07:19 |
| Flannel | unop: So much for moving into the 21st century. | 07:19 |
| unop | nyaa, is that all you get in the version table? | 07:19 |
| Scunizi | xchat.. well for it to remember your nick and channels you like on startup you have to look in the server list section and add your neck and pass. | 07:19 |
| belesprit | I can't figure out how to switch firefox's preference to use gnash spl and swf are not listed in the applications tab. | 07:19 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Flannel: Should use $(), its a bigger pain, bt faster argument passing | 07:20 |
| unop | Flannel, yea, though $() has advantages of being nestable | 07:20 |
| brjadams | any help prince_jammys | 07:20 |
| harley | Scunizi, I just don't like having to type in my nick every time, and it doesn't want to remember servers | 07:20 |
| nyaa | unop its hanging right now but thats all it showed aside from installed: #, and Candidate: # | 07:20 |
| unop | nyaa, maybe. apt-show-versions -r package_name | 07:21 |
| nyaa | # being 0v4v13-9ubuntu1 | 07:21 |
| unop | nyaa, hmm, maybe you installed the package manually then? | 07:22 |
| Scunizi | harley: ok.. I'll walk you through this.. click on xchat in the upper left and then server list | 07:22 |
| nyaa | unop no chance, that would have been beyond me when I did it | 07:22 |
| Scunizi | harley: a box will open with a list of networks in it. look for Ubuntu Servers and highlight | 07:22 |
| Peddy | Where can I download the Linux kernel 2.6.29-rc4 source? | 07:22 |
| unop | nyaa, another possibility is that the repository you installed it from is no longer available | 07:23 |
| nyaa | unop if there is a way to install stuff from hardy, thats gotta be where it came from. So far for me its been great, but I bet there's also another solution | 07:23 |
| Scunizi | harley: now click "edit" on the right of the box and a new box will open | 07:23 |

| unop | regex-hater, that's not really a command but a shell builtin -- at your shell. help exec | 07:37 |
| unop | regex-hater, basically - it replaces the current process with the one it is invoking | 07:37 |
| GuruDrew | Anyone know of a linux binary/gui that will quickly compare and synchronize an FTP local vs. remote? | 07:37 |
| dutch | GuruDrew: not ftp, but you could try rsync | 07:38 |
| regex-hater | unop, Okey Thanks :P | 07:38 |
| regex-hater | unop, any particulor reasons to use that builtin? | 07:39 |
| nDuff | GuruDrew, FTP doesn't have a mechanism for doing synchronization of that sort, as there's no way to get remotely-calculated checksum spans. As dutch says -- use rsync... but lftp will do almost anything that *can* be done over FTP, including recursive copies with support for ignoring files already present | 07:39 |
| mhr3 | new AWN! http://digg.com/linux_unix/Awn_Awn_Extras_0_3_2_Released | 07:39 |
| mhr3 | sorry for spam | 07:40 |
| nDuff | regex-hater, plenty. For instance: When you exec something else, all signals go to it rather than you, and its exit status is used in place of yours | 07:40 |
| nDuff | regex-hater, ...it's more efficient in terms of memory and such, since you don't have two processes in place... | 07:40 |
| unop | regex-hater, not particularly within an interactive shell .. but within a script, you might want to launch a process and terminate the script, or reset the script environment before launching a process or setup redirections for the script itself, etc | 07:40 |
| nDuff | regex-hater, ...and starting a subprocess does an exec under the hood *anyhow*, just with a fork preceding it (such that the invoking process isn't destroyed) | 07:40 |

| Scunizi | Flannel: granted the jpg was a link on a webpage | 08:00 |
| Mazali | syockit: no idea, it's integrated | 08:01 |
| winlow | I've got the same problem as Mazali. | 08:01 |
| winlow | I've tried safe graphics mode as well. | 08:01 |
| blizzle | winlow, Search for Compiz on youtube for an idea of what to expect. | 08:01 |
| winlow | So ubuntu is approximating OpenGL functionality on my graphics card? | 08:02 |
| blizzle | winlow, Ubuntu no, Compiz yes. If you're using Compiz, that is. | 08:02 |
| winlow | Is that really a reliable way to initialize a GUI installer? | 08:02 |
| Mazali | well, can we say fuck off to compiz? | 08:02 |
| Shadow_X | my server's hostname is cerebellum. howcome everytime i run a command that involves networking, it errs with "cannot resolve host cerebellum"? | 08:03 |
| unop | Mazali, easy with the language | 08:03 |
| _ReadErro | hello all | 08:03 |
| _ReadErro | is there a simple way to get into xconfig ? | 08:03 |
| Scunizi | Flannel: wow.. I saved the jpg and loaded it up in cacaview.. interesting | 08:03 |
| _ReadErro | I set some resolution that it should display | 08:03 |
| === glados_ is now known as Aperture_Science | ||
| _ReadErro | but, its a bunch of lines that are unreadable | 08:03 |
| blizzle | Mazali, Sure, Compiz isn't required to run Linux. Up to you if you use it or not (and the spec of your graphics adapater). | 08:03 |
| _ReadErro | I dont really need xserver... | 08:03 |
| unop | Shadow_X, is cerebellum listed in /etc/hosts ? | 08:03 |
| rww | Shadow_X: Do you have a line in your /etc/hosts file that mentions cerebellum? | 08:03 |
| Flannel | Scunizi: commands/options are at the top. vim controls, +- zoom, d cycles dithering options. | 08:03 |
| Mazali | blizzle: ok, how do I unload it? | 08:03 |
| blizzle | Shadow_X, Try editing your hosts file, perhaps. | 08:04 |
| winlow | What does ubuntu use to initialize its GUI installation? | 08:04 |
| LEO_ | I have win xp on the machine right now, do I need to format it before I start installing Ubuntu | 08:04 |
| LEO_ | ? | 08:04 |
| blizzle | Mazali, apt-get remove compiz for starters. | 08:04 |
| winlow | Whatever it is, my ATI x800 doesn't like it. | 08:04 |
| arcnewuss | my wireless card works fine in gnome through some automated app; but i always get error when starting it mannually | 08:04 |
| Scunizi | Flannel: how do you access teh controls? alt+letter | 08:04 |
| rww | LEO_: No, you can have both installed at once. Ubuntu can resize your Windows drive to make room. | 08:04 |
| LEO_ | nice | 08:05 |
| blizzle | LEO_, If you no longer require XP, it's safe to remove the partition completely. | 08:05 |
| blizzle | LEO_, And of course, you can always run XP in VirtualBox. | 08:06 |
| Scunizi | Flannel: never mind I figured it out.. still not the best representation | 08:06 |
| LEO_ | Will ubuntu install a boot loader if I choose to leave XP? | 08:06 |
| arcnewuss | i solved it: I deleted everything in file 'ifstate' | 08:06 |
| Aperture_Science | If my NVIDIA drivers cause my xsever to freak out, what are some possible solutions? | 08:06 |
| Scunizi | LEO_: yes | 08:06 |
| blizzle | LEO_, Yes, Ubuntu will install Grub. | 08:06 |
| LEO_ | nice | 08:06 |
| _ReadErro | what grub command can I use to stop ubuntu from booting into X? | 08:06 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: how does it freek out? | 08:06 |
| _ReadErro | but framebuffer | 08:07 |
| _ReadErro | or console | 08:07 |
| arcnewuss | its my first day with dwm it seems pretty nice | 08:07 |
| LEO_ | If I decide to get rid of Windows in future, would it be easy to do from Ubuntu portion of drive or would I have to reinstall from scratch? | 08:07 |
| rww | Aperture_Science: are you sure that the Nvidia drivers for Linux support SLI? I don't use them, but I vaguely remember someone saying that they don't a while ago. | 08:07 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi, "Primary Device is not PCI", "(EE) No devices detected" "Connection refused (errno 111)" and lastly "No such process (errno 3) | 08:07 |
| rww | LEO_: as long as you install Ubuntu to a separate partition, and don't use Wubi/"Install from Windows", then yes, you can do it from Ubuntu without reinstalling. | 08:08 |
| houstond | good evening all | 08:08 |

| Aperture_Science | rww, I don't want to have to rip out my SLI config though, I'd like to leave it as is hardware wise. | 08:08 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi, I've tried that. | 08:08 |
| === SPFhome_ is now known as SPF | ||
| houstond | anyone here familiar with running world of warcraft on ubuntu? | 08:09 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: rww might be right.. the stock drivers might not support sli.. check nvidia's site in the linux section for more info on that. | 08:09 |
| yojimbo-san | I've created some LVM logical volumes, done mkfs /dev/mapper/VG-lv all OK ... they mount by name, but the UUIDs are not in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ ... how do I get this dir to refresh itself? vgmknodes doesn't seem to help. | 08:09 |
| pike__ | wow so uh nvidia-legacy drivers arent supported in current xorg... | 08:09 |
| Scunizi | pike__: you have to install them | 08:10 |
| LEO_ | Ok, I dont know what to do. When I tried live cd, it would give me "video mode not supported" error, now that I try installing it I get same | 08:10 |

| xenocide21 | thank you | 08:12 |
| tk3 | hi all - I'm having really weird sound issues in 8.04. just started this morning. VLC no audio, mplayer on CLI playing an mp3 literally stops when it gets to "starting playback" but audio in a flash player in browser and ubutu audio tests is fine - any thoughts? | 08:12 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: np.. you might end up installing 180.xx to get it to work. | 08:12 |
| yojimbo-san | mmk, a restart of udev did the trick. | 08:12 |
| Scunizi | pike__: maybe nvidia-glx-96 | 08:13 |
| Scunizi | can I shut down a machine remotely via ssh? | 08:14 |
| Mazali | So, is there any solution for the blank screen after login | 08:14 |
| yojimbo-san | Scunizi: yep, just "sudo shutdown -P now" | 08:14 |
| yojimbo-san | Scunizi: that'll power it off. You need to touch the machine to power it back on :-) | 08:14 |
| Scunizi | yojimbo-san: what's the -P for? power? | 08:14 |
| LEO_ | Would anyone like to help me install Ubuntu? I have problems with my LCD monitor | 08:14 |
| blizzle | "sudo shutdown -h 0" works just as well, if not better. | 08:15 |
| yojimbo-san | Scunizi: yes .. otherwise most Ubuntu servers will pause at a manual-intervention screen on the console, asking for a reboot | 08:15 |
| scizzo- | LEO_: maybe you could give us a little more information about what exactly is going wrong with the install | 08:15 |
| blizzle | Or "sudo shutdown -r 0" if a reboot is required. | 08:15 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi, I'm kind of a linux newb. could you explain 180.xx to me? | 08:15 |
| LEO_ | scizzo-, I get my monitor display "Video Mode Not Supported" | 08:15 |
| houstond | can someone tell me how to make sure compiz??? is off | 08:15 |
| scizzo- | LEO_: after install? | 08:16 |
| blizzle | houstond, apt-get install compiz-icon perhaps. | 08:16 |
| scizzo- | LEO_: what graphics card and so on? | 08:16 |
| Larrxi | how to make my HDA ATI SB to not load at boot? | 08:16 |
| scizzo- | LEO_: we need a little more information of exactly what is happening and when the error occur | 08:16 |
| LEO_ | scizzo-, during install or live cd, ATI radeon 3600 if I'm not mistaken | 08:16 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: there is a driver on nvidia site for linux and the version number begins with 180.. the xx is for other version info. so a driver that's labeled 180.11 is older than 180.22 or .28.. | 08:17 |
| LEO_ | scizzo-, It happens when the loading bar fills up in live cd, or when I start installation | 08:17 |
| scizzo- | LEO_: intrepid? | 08:17 |
| winlow | What does "Safe Graphics Mode" actually do while loading the GUI installer? | 08:17 |
| quibbler | houstond: system-preferences-appearence-visual effects choose none | 08:17 |
| LEO_ | scizzo-, what is that? | 08:17 |
| scizzo- | LEO_: I mean which version of ubuntu? | 08:17 |
| scizzo- | LEO_: intrepid ibex? | 08:18 |
| LEO_ | dont know, just the one that's on the download page | 08:18 |
| Aperture_Science | Oh. Of course, I'm sorry I know about version numbers and all. Being brand new to linux is like trying to take everything I've learned about computers in the last 10 years, and throw it out. It's fun! But it's also challenging. Thanks for the tips, Scunizi. | 08:18 |
| washed | bunty fun fun | 08:18 |
| scizzo- | LEO_: right sounds like a problem that has come up before actually with the ATI card if I am not wrong | 08:18 |

" | 08:38 |
| jim_p | Vadonon, they are out. i think i saw a relevant article in DW | 08:39 |
| blizzle | LEO_, That's a driver issue. | 08:39 |
| yao_ziyuan | blizzle: how do i do port forwarding? | 08:39 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: I would not use envyng | 08:39 |
| quibbler | mimiloon: what has that to do with firestarter? | 08:39 |
| blizzle | yao_ziyuan, google for router port forwarding howto | 08:39 |
| tacone | how to disable the eth0 from the kernel ? | 08:39 |
| jim_p | yao_ziyuan, depending on your router, go to portforward.com | 08:39 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi, I currently have no drivers installed aside from what's included with the ubuntu clean install, so I have the option of installing the nvidia driver from the site. Do you think you could walk me through it? I'm brand new to linux and the commands are all still very new to me. | 08:39 |
| jim_p | tacone, by recompiling it, but why would you want to do such damage? | 08:40 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: so you havent' tried either the 177 or 173? | 08:40 |
| blizzle | yao_ziyuan, Sounds like your firewall isn't correctly configured, still. Try restarting it, if you've created the necessary rules. | 08:40 |
| tacone | i've got a macbook, and eth0 causes 66% wakeups. | 08:40 |
| mimiloon | i got the info from this site: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/faq.php; it say to edit this file to bypass the password request | 08:41 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi, No. I've tried them both, but both of them resulted in errors I couldn't resolve in xserver, which forced me to format the partition and reinstall ubuntu. | 08:41 |
| jim_p | tacone, disable its usage if you can be wireless only | 08:41 |
| tacone | jim_p: nice, how ? | 08:41 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: ok.. do you have a gui running that you can manouver in? | 08:41 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi, yup | 08:41 |
| jim_p | tacone, what ubuntu version are you on? | 08:41 |
| tacone | jim_p: intrepid | 08:42 |
| prince_jammys | mimiloon: use 'sudo visudo' | 08:42 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: let me look up the link for the new driver. brb | 08:42 |
| jim_p | tacone, so i guess you will need network manager :( let me think | 08:42 |
| tacone | i obtained nothing with network manager. i guess it's a kernel bug, and shall be resolved at lower level | 08:42 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi, would it happen to be NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run? If so, I've already taken the liberty of downloading it. | 08:42 |
| tacone | isn't there a way to unload the module for eth0 or stuff like that ? | 08:43 |
| svensko | how do i modify my sessions menu in the log in screen? | 08:43 |
| jim_p | tacone, are you sure its eth0 that is causing it and not network manager looking at eth0 and finding nothing there to connect? | 08:43 |
| mimiloon | prince_jammys: is that the file name because i'm completely lost | 08:43 |
| tacone | jim_p: mmmh | 08:43 |
| jim_p | tacone, sure, by blacklistting it, but you need to know tha module name | 08:43 |
| prince_jammys | mimiloon: no, visudo is a program that lets you edit /etc/sudoers safely | 08:43 |
| syockit | Aperture_Science: holy lawd | 08:43 |
| syockit | Aperture_Science: if you insist. http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t66203.html | 08:44 |
| tacone | jim_p: how to test if it's the network manager ? how do I bring it down ? | 08:44 |
| quibbler | mimiloon: if you wish to edit as root use gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers | 08:44 |
| prince_jammys | mimiloon: it won't save the changes if the file is malformed, which is good. otherwise, if you make a mistake you can lose admin rights | 08:44 |
| tacone | jim_p: and how to know the module name? :-D | 08:44 |

| theonlyfox | jim_p, thats what ive read... but the 8.10 Alternate CD fixes that apparently. It reconized my Raid array as a single drive and even detected the correct windows OS on it. I installed Ubuntu on a stand alone drive enven though i could have repartitioned my raid and installed it next to windows. My problem is that I cannot boot to this second drive. | 08:57 |

| Scunizi | glados_: now that you're in the bottom ctrl+a then ctrl+c | 09:00 |
| jim_p | bye | 09:00 |
| theonlyfox | jim_p, thats what im thinking. When I point my bios to that drive to boot it hangs after the bios checks for bootable cd's but never give any kind of OS missing or failed msg. Im not so sure that the installer isnt trying to set up Grub on the raid array which would be a mistake, yet there is no option to install it anywhere else | 09:00 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: what does that do? | 09:00 |
| theonlyfox | bleh | 09:00 |
| MikeMaxwell2501 | hey all, anyone aware of a good mp3 to mp4 converter?? | 09:00 |

| Fiftyone | Jippen you think the data is still there? | 09:08 |
| Jippen | 51> Well, the first two steps are a: make sure you have a place to copy data to, with enough room, and b: make sure you have a bootable disc handy | 09:09 |
| blizzle | Fiftyone, You might want to take a look at the Easy Peasy distro (formerly Eeebuntu). | 09:09 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: ok.. here we go.. first in the terminal do a ctrl+a d to detach. Now what you going to do is ctrl+alt+F2 and when you get a terminal prompt then us screen -r <number> to reattach and then ctrl+a tab to get to the irssi portion and let me know you are there. | 09:09 |
| syockit | Mazali: it doesn't work with the other guy. lucky you | 09:09 |

After the install I point my bios to boot from the sendary HD. Problem is that is will never boot, hangs after BIOS checks for cd's. | 09:13 |
| Jippen | g33k > point firefox to 127.0.0.1 and see if apache works. Then try setting up a php script with the contents <?php phpinfo(); ?> to see if php works | 09:13 |
| Scunizi | glados_: get it? | 09:14 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: Alright. Yeah, music is stopped now. | 09:14 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, Im guessing that grub was not installed on the sendary HD thus has no way of loading the OS. I know the install is there since I can boot to windows and see the files | 09:14 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: Along with GNOME | 09:14 |
| Fiftyone | jipper can i load ubuntu live from usb? I installed ubuntu origionally but i dont know if i was given the option to boot into live from usb. Also, when i get back in how do i locate and copy the data if it dosent gave a partition how do i get to it? | 09:14 |
| syockit | Fiftyone: depends on your pc's bios | 09:14 |
| g33k_gir1 | blizzle, Jippen: 127.0.0.1 works (or at least, I get a blank page, not an error) | 09:14 |
| Scunizi | glados_: that confirms that the gui isn't running. ok at the terminal prompt window type cd ~/Desktop | 09:14 |
| Jippen | Oy, oy... one at a time. | 09:15 |
| blizzle | g33k_gir1, Then you at least have Apache running. | 09:15 |
| g33k_gir1 | blizzle, Jippen: settting up php script now | 09:15 |
| blizzle | g33k_gir1, Well, one assumes Apache. | 09:15 |
| Jippen | fox> Is the linux HD part of the raid? | 09:15 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, no | 09:15 |
| Scunizi | glados_: then once you're there type ls to get a list of files.. let me know what the last 3 letters on the nvidia driver are. | 09:15 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: No such directory. o.O | 09:15 |
| Jippen | 51> Yes, you can load live USB. However, you still need to have someplace for the files to go. Do you have that? | 09:15 |
| Scunizi | glados_: type cd ~/Desktop .. no spaces.. and with a capital D | 09:16 |
| etech | hi | 09:16 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: Nevermind, I'm silly, case sensitive. | 09:16 |
| Fiftyone | Jippen Yea i have a 100gb usb disk | 09:16 |
| etech | in the ubuntu kernel are different closed source drivers... | 09:16 |
| Jippen | fox> So, does it boot into windows, but not linux? | 09:16 |
| etech | what are these drivers? | 09:16 |
| blizzle | glados_, Tab completion helps. | 09:16 |
| Jippen | 51> ok, get into the live usb system, and I'll help you from there | 09:16 |
| g33k_gir1 | blizzle, Jippen: ok, so in Firefox, php files are asking to be saved as... | 09:17 |
| theonlyfox | It will boot to windows if I point the bios to load from the Raid, but If i point it at the stand alone drive it hangs as described earlier | 09:17 |
| glados_ | blizzle: Thanks for the tip! I use it all the time in IRC. :3 | 09:17 |
| Fiftyone | alrighty thanks | 09:17 |
| Scunizi | glados_: yep works at terminal too. | 09:17 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: Last three letters are .run | 09:17 |
| Jippen | g33k > sounds like apache is misbehaving. Did you follow a guide to set up your LAMP box? | 09:17 |
| blizzle | g33k_gir1, Then Php isn't correctly installed. At least, not properly integrated with Apache. | 09:17 |
| g33k_gir1 | blizzle: just found the ubuntu help page on that -- will follow up and get back to you :) | 09:17 |
| Scunizi | glados_: ok.. in the terminal window type.. sudo sh ./<file name .run .. you can use tab to complete the name :) | 09:18 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: Okay. Wish me luck! | 09:18 |
| Scunizi | glados_: luck! | 09:18 |
| Jippen | fox> keep bios pointed at the raid. When it boots into that, does GRUB pop up, or does it go straight into windows? | 09:18 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, goes straight to windows | 09:18 |
| Jippen | did you point the bios at the extra hd to install linux? | 09:19 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, no | 09:19 |
| Jippen | Did you use the live cd, alternate cd, or did you use the Wubi installer? | 09:19 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, alternate cd | 09:20 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: Done! I assumed we would be agreeing to all install options, etc. YeS? | 09:20 |
| Scunizi | glados_: yep.. | 09:20 |
| Jippen | Can you use the live cd to examine the partitions, and make sure things look sane? | 09:20 |
| lain_wired | hiya all. I'm working with a new box with a dual core processor. I've heard people have had some driver issues with 64bit ubuntu, and ubuntu 32bit seems fine with 4GB of ram so i guess the only question is - is it a waste to use 32 on a 64 bit system? | 09:20 |
| Scunizi | glados_: ok.. you're going to loose irc and everything now.. come back and let me know how it went.. type sudo reboot now | 09:20 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: Will do. Be right back! :3 | 09:21 |
| eoke | Ubuntu 8.10 (2.6.24-23-generic), Snort (2.8.3.) and libpcap (0.8): When I block traffic with IPTables its seen by TCPDump but not by snort and from what I've read Snort should also see the traffic pre filtering. Could any one give me a clue as to what the issue might be? (already asked in #Snort but they're not up yet) | 09:21 |
| Jippen | lain> IMHO, it is a waste to use 64 bit on a system that is not using >4 gigs of ram. You should be just fine. | 09:21 |
| Jippen | I am having an issue with my ubuntu laptop. I shut it down this morning after making some fstab changes, and now it only boots into read-only mode. How do I make the root partition read/write so I can revert the fstab changes? Also of note: the root partition is encfs over lvm. /etc/fstab is here-> http://pastebin.com/m2caa15e3 | 09:21 |
| unknown__ | hi, anyone can recommend me any software for burning CD which allows me to create bootable CD? I must do this from folder with files not from ISO image :/ | 09:22 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, Ill have to burn it. will take a moment. So far have only used a utility that lets me access the linux partition under windows. unfortunately I know Jack about linus and grub and well Jack left town years ago. | 09:22 |
| quibbler | lain_wired: not a waste...and it will save you some headaches | 09:22 |
| g33k_gir1 | lain_wired: I haven't had any problems with my 64 bit system | 09:22 |
| zxd | what's the name of the current stable? | 09:23 |
| zxd | IntrepidIbex ? | 09:23 |
| fosco_ | unknown__: k3b is the most complete burning software i know | 09:23 |
| suigeneris | zxd, yes | 09:23 |
| G-Blunted | i think you have to burn an iso to make bootable | 09:23 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: No go. | 09:23 |
| Jippen | unknown> bootable CDs need special steps to be bootable. You will likely need to use a tool to convert the folder of files into a burnable ISO. | 09:23 |
| G-Blunted | i don't think you can like...burn a bootable cd really | 09:23 |
| zxd | suigeneris, it's also the name of the repository ? | 09:23 |
| Scunizi | glados_: ok.. are you at terminal? | 09:23 |
| lain_wired | g33k_gir1: ah, even with fairly good graphics and sound cards? (it'd be a shame too not use them to their full capacity) | 09:24 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: No GUI available. | 09:24 |
| suigeneris | how can i find out the total size of the files i grab with find? | 09:24 |
| suigeneris | zxd, repo name is just intrepid | 09:24 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: So yeah, I'm in terminal, already screen'd split, and ready to detach. | 09:24 |
| Scunizi | glados_: did it just give a blank screen or right to a terminal prompt | 09:24 |
| zxd | suigeneris, thanks | 09:24 |
| unknown__ | fosco_: Thanks I'll try it :) | 09:24 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: Went right to terminal prompt | 09:25 |
| Scunizi | glados_: ok.. in the other half of the split.. type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in there look for the line that says SERVER and make sure that it says nvidia and not vesa or nv or intel | 09:26 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, burning the Live CD now. Is there anything that could be looked at to see if Grub even installed on one of the drives while im waiting? | 09:26 |
| Jippen | fox> Yeah. There is a great tool I love. I call it the ubuntu live cd. :3 | 09:27 |
| trippss | how do I configure my laptop with 512 MB RAM so that it does progressive/aggressive write behinds? I'm tired of it taking forever to swap things in and out when it's not necessary. I end up killing the app anyway because I simply don't have the patience. only write stuff when shutting down or when completely idle and under a certain load average. | 09:27 |

| Giggles | MeVsTheVoices: Deliver'd you a hair on's head. | 09:30 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: I didn't find a specific line that said "server", but I did see several entries that read "nvidia", and not vesa, nv, intel | 09:30 |
| tamimi | 8-) | 09:30 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, ok, ive booted to the live cd | 09:30 |
| Scunizi | glados_: ok.. try installing nvidia-settings.. sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings | 09:30 |
| Jippen | ok, first thing to do is use the gnome partitioning tool to examine how the partitions are set up. Make sure the settings are what you expect them to be | 09:31 |
| stinger_au | Hello | 09:31 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: Done | 09:31 |

| Jippen | HELP NEEDED: How do I force the root partition of an encrypted LVM to read/write mode, so I can edit /etc/fstab? | 09:32 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: Said it was starting GNOME desktop manager, but no GUI load. | 09:32 |
| etech | when i install selinux, is it configured autumatically? | 09:32 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: I.E. I'm still in terminal | 09:32 |
| Scunizi | glados try ctrl+alt+F7 | 09:33 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, how do i get the partitioning tool to run from the cd? | 09:33 |
| Jippen | etech> Somewhat. It comes with some defaults, but to get full use of it, you have to know how to deal with selinux | 09:33 |

| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: did you have one of the drivers still loaded in System>Admin>hardware drivers when we started this? | 09:36 |
| Aperture_Science | I don't believe so. I uninstalled everything related to "nvidia" in Synaptic, aside from what you instructed me not to. | 09:36 |
| g33k_gir1 | ok, so I have phpmyadmin installed, but I can't find it (at least, its not in /var/www/) | 09:37 |
| Sergeant_Pony | I need xforms to get a program to compile... how do I get it? | 09:37 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: k.. go back to sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the reference to nvidia to nv | 09:37 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi: How would I do that? | 09:38 |
| Jippen | g33k_girl> TBH, I tend to grab webapps from the net and set them up myself. Then I know where they are, and can be sure I have the latest version | 09:38 |
| Scunizi | sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and use the arrow keys to move around.. get to where it says nvidia and use the delete or bkspace key to eliminate it and type in nv (lower casee) | 09:39 |
| Jippen | http://localhost/phpmyadmin <-- that is worth a try too | 09:39 |
| g33k_gir1 | Jippen: so I should just reinstall it :) | 09:39 |
| g33k_gir1 | Jippen: OMG, that works | 09:39 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi: do I do this for all instances of "nvidia"? | 09:39 |
| g33k_gir1 | Jippen: i thought only what was in var/www/ would work under localhost... thanks | 09:40 |
| Jippen | Nope. Webservers are fun like that. | 09:40 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: hang on .. let me look at mine | 09:40 |
| g33k_gir1 | lain_wired: i must admit, i did not get any uber gfx cards with that system | 09:41 |

| Aperture_Science | Scunizi: Got it. Doing now | 09:42 |
| lain_wired | g33k_gir1: mm. i wouldn't mind, because i kinda enjoy the challenge involved, but this person (my dad actually) hasn't ever used linux before and i want this to go well. | 09:42 |

| blizzle | banisterfiend, Sounds like you're learning nothing at all. Or the wrong thing. :/ | 09:43 |
| g33k_gir1 | clearly, related to females at all would be a better place to start | 09:43 |
| g33k_gir1 | so, lets not feed the troll. Jippen: thanks, will do | 09:44 |
| banisterfiend | blizzle: are you saying i should treat them as equals or what | 09:44 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi: Kay. .conf modified. Restarting now. | 09:44 |
| blizzle | banisterfiend, I don't recall echoing that sentiment, but yes, gender is largely irrelevant in a tech support channel. | 09:44 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, ok i have 500GB on /dev/sdc1 as ext2 and flagged as boot and /dev/sdc2 as 7GB extended and 500GB unallocated | 09:45 |

| banisterfiend | blizzle: but what if i cant get over the fact that they have tits and ass and i cant restrain myself from making a sexual comment | 09:45 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: sure.. | 09:45 |

| Scunizi | ct529: gizmo will. free but not opensource | 09:46 |
| Aperture_Science | Nothing, Scunizi | 09:47 |
| blizzle | Jippen, Sadly I think you're right. Nonetheless, perhaps he'll take a hint. | 09:47 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: you'll loose irc but try ctrl+alt+backspace | 09:47 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi: I didn't lose IRC, nothing happened. | 09:48 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: is this card an onboard card or seperately mounted? | 09:48 |
| Aperture_Science | Seperately mounted. | 09:49 |
| ct529 | Scunizi: nothing opensource? | 09:49 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: does the machine have an onboard video card too? | 09:49 |
| Scunizi | ct529: not that I'm aware of | 09:49 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, may have to explain how to mount. Found terminal and mount shows currently mounted volumes, but mount /dev/sdc1 gives a "cant find" dialogue | 09:49 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi: No sir. I'm afraid not. | 09:49 |

| ronny | so i get connection errors | 09:53 |
| IINB3 | excuse me .. What is the TSV and TSER at TCP section captured on wireshark ? | 09:53 |

| riz0n | the number of clients to my server will be between 5 to 10 users | 09:53 |
| Jippen | pulse is not alsa. If you are talking alsa -> pulse compatibility stuff, then apt-get autoremove should clear them out when pulse is gone | 09:53 |

| Sergeant_Pony | riz0n, that I'm not sure... I'm an ircop so I have full control | 09:56 |
| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: ok.. try this.. sudo apt-get install build-essential | 09:56 |
| ronny | Jippen: ok, i also killed libpulse0, and now alsa wont work cause it lacks the pulse plugin thats configured somewhere | 09:56 |
| Jippen | probably /etc/asound | 09:56 |
| Aperture_Science | Scunizi: done. | 09:56 |

| Scunizi | Aperture_Science: then cd ~/Desktop .. then sudo sh ./<nvidia driver name.run . to reinstall | 09:57 |

| theonlyfox | Jippen, but after looking over the file... it looks like the options for loading the alternate CD | 10:10 |
| Jippen | leo> there isn't one | 10:11 |
| fosco_ | leo: there is no default root password, you can use sudo command instead | 10:11 |
| Scunizi | glados_: yep.. that will probably fix it.. I hate to say this but it's 2:10 am here and I'm fragged (military term). Sounds like you might be able to continue without me.. however if you need help there's typically someone here that's been through all this.. | 10:11 |
| leo | fosco_: Jippen: I just installed it, so there is no root account? | 10:11 |
| Jippen | fox> It looks like grub isn't even seeing the windows partition anyway. Is there any data you wanna save off there, or do you want to just try a re-install? | 10:12 |
| fosco_ | leo: no root, you just use sudo command | 10:12 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: No worries. I really appreciate the help. I've learned a lot tonight about troubleshooting linux. Thanks for being my technical support tonight! :3 | 10:12 |

| cmarques | Hello, we're planning to buy two Dell servers (each one from a different model) but they are not officially certified for Ubuntu by Dell and neither appear in the Ubuntu site as certifed. The models are Dell PowerEdge R200 and Dell PowerEdge 1950 III. Did anyone here already succesfully instaled Ubuntu on any of those servers? | 10:13 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, the windows partition isnt on this drive. That resides on the raid where the linux is on this stand alone. The installer recognized and and windows still loads fine | 10:13 |
| tonyyarusso | leo: it's just your use password, so you cahnge that. | 10:13 |
| fosco_ | leo: you do NOT change root password, to change sudo password just change the user password | 10:13 |
| glados_ | Scunizi: I can imagine! I'm sure I'll learn a lot more while trying to solve this. Thanks again. Good night! | 10:13 |
| Jippen | fox> I know that. But grub should still have a menu entry for the windows partition | 10:13 |
| Sergeant_Pony | anyone know how I can install xforms? | 10:14 |
| leo | fosco_: how about other users? they can sudo too? what password wold they use? | 10:14 |
| Jippen | leo > man sudo | 10:14 |
| trippss | someone may recall on here a couple of days ago I mentioned that my laptop went into standby whenever it was unplugged. I seem to have found another variable: that only happens after it's been in standby once already. Freshly booted system or system that has been hibernated doesn't do this. note synaptics touchpad also doesn't work after standby. | 10:14 |
| leo | this is confusing | 10:14 |
| fosco_ | leo: when you create a new user you can choose whatever it can do sudo or not | 10:14 |
| tonyyarusso | leo: Only if they are part of the admin group or have been manually set up as sudoers in some other fashion. | 10:14 |
| tonyyarusso | leo: the "First user" is the only one who can by default. | 10:15 |
| ronny | hmm | 10:15 |
| ronny | ok, the pulse server seems to be the main cause of this breakage | 10:16 |
| leo | tonyyarusso: fosco_, is this like this in Ubuntu only or other disros too? | 10:16 |
| ronny | my sound device is listed in /proc/asound/cards | 10:16 |
| tonyyarusso | leo: Other distros do it, but I don't know offhand which ones. | 10:16 |
| fosco_ | leo: not sure, this is the ubuntu way | 10:16 |
| leo | Can I change it to using root somehow? | 10:16 |
| ronny | but aplay -l wont show any and alsamicer fails on connect | 10:16 |
| g33k_gir1 | i seem to have no user table in mysql, although I can log in with the mysql consol. but i can't create or grant users | 10:16 |

| theonlyfox | Jippen, i understand that, but i think the installer tried to install grub to the raid though there is no evidence of it. The installer asked if I wanted the raid partion activated and then it showed the windows OS in the list of OS's to add to the grub loader. I think this is just the default and the one that supposed to be here left for the ether or there is an error w/ the installer | 10:16 |
| tonyyarusso | leo: You can, but it's not recommended. | 10:16 |
| fosco_ | leo: enabling root account is not a good idea, it has been disabled for security reasens | 10:17 |
| srrr | hello, i want to install Ubuntu on RAID0 on my Promise SAS controller, and need help compiling the driver. can someone please assist | 10:17 |
| leo | Should have installed Debian... | 10:17 |
| tonyyarusso | leo: And the general stance is "if you know enough about what you're doing to have a reason to do so, you already know how, so we won't tell you" :P | 10:17 |
| Jippen | leo> if you wanted debian, why did you install ubuntu? | 10:17 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, at any rate I will proly need to create the menu manually... now that I have a way to access it I should be able to. | 10:17 |
| PodMan99a | if not can i create a boot cd to pass all control to hard disks once its booted? | 10:17 |
| leo | Jippen: I didnt know about the sudo nonsense... and installed it because of the update manager | 10:18 |
| Jippen | fox> Its a little more compliucated than just editing that file. | 10:18 |
| WishingMaster | leo, if you are using kde/kdm then you can't login as root,so whats the use of enabling root account | 10:18 |
| Milkeh | this is getting really annoying, why will my music not play | 10:18 |
| Jippen | leo> sudo takes a little while to get used to, but its really handy. You can allow users to, say, reboot the webserver, without letting them read /etc/shadow | 10:18 |
| leo | WishingMaster: I see | 10:19 |
| theonlyfox | Jippen, I am making the assumption that everything else was configured right on install. | 10:19 |
| WishingMaster | leo, yeah its of no use | 10:19 |
| ronny | any hints on how to fix a broken pulse server? | 10:19 |
| WishingMaster | leo, root can't login | 10:19 |
| leo | Jippen: just have to do some getting used to :) | 10:19 |
| fosco_ | leo: what's the problem on using sudo? :-? | 10:19 |
| Jippen | fox> True. But I recommend googling "editing grub in ubuntu" to get the extra steps | 10:19 |
| Milkeh | can anybody help me? | 10:19 |

| Milkeh | tonyyarusso, I'm fair sure I do. | 10:24 |
| harlemdavvey | tonyyarusso: thanks :) | 10:24 |
| Milkeh | tonyyarusso, I installed the restricted package. | 10:24 |
| tonyyarusso | ddoom: then I think what fosco_ is probably appropriate. | 10:24 |
| harlemdavvey | did someone give a try to some alpha version of the 9.04 ubuntu distro? | 10:24 |
| tonyyarusso | harlemdavvey: No problem. Also note that you'll probably need to install the build-essential package first. | 10:24 |
| fosco_ | harlemdavvey: yes, many of us, meet us at #ubuntu+1 | 10:25 |
| harlemdavvey | tonyyarusso: yes.. i think i did it | 10:25 |
| tonyyarusso | Milkeh: I'm going to guess that you (like many) are having an issue with pulseaudio. | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | harlemdavvey: i have, acpi is a bit buggy so mine hung at "checking battery" | 10:25 |
| linduxed | ive compiled and kernel and packaged it as .deb files. after packaging i installed the the kernel and headers with dpkg -i... naturally the kernel didnt work as i intended so i want to reverse the process. is there a way to do that? | 10:25 |
| Like | problem with rytmbox please help | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | linduxed: sudo dpkg -r <package name> | 10:25 |
| Milkeh | tonyyarusso, how do I fix this? | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Like: ask the room | 10:25 |
| tonyyarusso | Milkeh: I've found I can work around it by doing 'sudo killall pulseaudio && sudo invoke-rc.d alsa-utils' and restarting the music player, although I'm not sure if that's the most elegand solution. | 10:25 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: will that work for kernels just like that? | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | linduxed: yep, its a package like any other, you may have to manually edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:26 |
| Jippen | linduxed > you should be able to boot into a previous kernel through grub. If not... well... this is why we back up files before messing with them. ~.~ | 10:26 |
| Like | :)) | 10:26 |
| linduxed | Jippen: im in a prev kernel now | 10:27 |

| * ActionParsnip hates wubi | 10:39 | |
| deany | lol, virtually impossible? ive formatted an ntfs partition to ext3, used it a day or 2, reformatted back to ntfs, and when booted into linux its mounted as the old ext3 with the old files, which are all readable. | 10:39 |
| zxd | prince_jammys, Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "localeconf" | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | tajen: you coud fix the windows mbr so windows boots ok, then resetup wubi but keep your hdd image to one side (im not to clued up on the workings of wubi) then copy the image in once its all nice again | 10:40 |
| tonyyarusso | deany: Oddly enough, reformatting ext3 to ntfs is actually less destructive than deleting a file while using ext3 usually. | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | tonyyarusso: depends on how you format ;) | 10:40 |
| tonyyarusso | I suppose | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | 7 pass bit invertions will make it near impossible to recover the data | 10:41 |
| RudyValencia | Well, I guess I need to write these CDs as slow as possible | 10:41 |
| Milkeh | tonyyarusso, now that I've restarted it's good, but it's just going to happen again : | 10:41 |
| Aperture_Science | It works! | 10:41 |
| prince_jammys | zxd: yeah, apparently that package was discontinued in gutsy | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Aperture_Science: wtg :D | 10:41 |
| zxd | prince_jammys, so what do i do | 10:42 |
| prince_jammys | zxd: see if the other steps work for you | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | RudyValencia: is it working ok now? | 10:42 |
| tonyyarusso | Milkeh: See if you can find dtchen active some time. (He's very busy, but very useful if you can catch him.) | 10:42 |
| RudyValencia | Looks like it's booting OK | 10:42 |
| Milkeh | tonyyarusso, alright thank you | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | RudyValencia: sweet, yeah most systems dont like CDs burned too fast, plus you get a better burn at lower speeds | 10:42 |
| RudyValencia | Hm, that may be why my friend has been having problems with CDs I burn for him | 10:43 |
| RudyValencia | I think the next batch I make for him I'll run slower | 10:43 |
| RudyValencia | thanks | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | RudyValencia: makes sense. thats why i never get these drives that do huge speeds | 10:43 |
| G-Blunted | what is my "panel"? | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | RudyValencia: i never burn over 16x | 10:43 |
| RudyValencia | Hm, I should use my little HP CD16f | 10:43 |
| G-Blunted | i got these sensors that are supposed to show up "in my panel" somewhere | 10:43 |
| RudyValencia | It has been working well for years | 10:43 |
| fosco_ | G-Bleezy: it means the gnome panel | 10:44 |
| zxd | prince_jammys, dpkg-reconfigure locales does nothing | 10:44 |
| G-Blunted | whats that? | 10:44 |
| Vonor | o/ | 10:44 |
| G-Blunted | or where | 10:44 |
| Vonor | anyone using gnome-globalmenu? | 10:44 |
| fosco_ | G-Bleezy: the gray bar with the clock and the gnome menu | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !anyone | Vonor | 10:45 |
| ubottu | Vonor: 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? | 10:45 |
| G-Blunted | you're right | 10:45 |
| G-Blunted | there it is! thanks dude :) | 10:45 |
| learning-regex | Can someone write me a SED command that translates all a’s is into e’s and all e’s into a’s. | 10:46 |
| JamesA_ | Does Ubuntu use KDE or Gnome as standard? | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | JamesA_: gnome | 10:46 |
| Vonor | ActionParsnip, next time use your own words please, i don't like talking to bots :P / 2ndly, if noone in here uses it, i don't need to ask my next question as noone will know the answer | 10:46 |
| learning-regex | JamesA_, use kubuntu for KDE | 10:46 |
| zaggynl | wth | 10:46 |
| zaggynl | I didn't type that | 10:46 |
| fosco_ | learning-regex: asking for we to do your homework? :) | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | JamesA_: kubuntu uses kde as standard, but theres nothing stopping you from installing kubuntu-desktop metapackage on ubuntu to get kde | 10:47 |
| RudyValencia | Oops. | 10:47 |
| zaggynl | oh phew, screen bug | 10:47 |
| JamesA_ | Thanks. Second question- themes at gnome-look.org don't seem to be compatible with the Ubuntu theme manager, can anyone offer assistance? | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | JamesA_: but you will have both gtk and qt on your system, depends on your stance with bloat | 10:47 |
| learning-regex | fosco_, asking for help...:) | 10:47 |
| blizzle | Vonor, Try gnome-do perhaps.. | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Vonor: its simple advice, just ask the question to the point :D | 10:48 |
| fosco_ | JamesA_: themes at gnome-look.org are compatible | 10:48 |
| RudyValencia | eesh, Kubuntu 8.10 is slow on this old Dell Optiplex GX100 :( | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | RudyValencia: it will be in the livecd environment. | 10:48 |
| blizzle | RudyValencia, You might be better off with Xfce. | 10:48 |
| blizzle | RudyValencia, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | RudyValencia: or sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 10:49 |
| learning-regex | fosco_, sed 's/[e][a]/\1a\2e/g' at lest tell me if I'm in the right direction | 10:49 |
| blizzle | Fluxbox is a bit too retro for my liking, good though some aspects are. Xfce is more in keeping with the Ubuntu desktop ethos, in my view at least. | 10:49 |
| zxd | prince_jammys, shouldn't dpkg-reconfigure locales , bring up a debconf window? | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | blizzle: i just throw it out there as an option. I think fluxbox is badass, theres even fluxbuntu but its not an official release | 10:50 |
| prince_jammys | zxd: i think so, yeah | 10:50 |
| prince_jammys | zxd: you don't even get an error message? | 10:50 |
| blizzle | ActionParsnip, Sure, I do like some aspects of flux, though for someone used to the normal Ubuntu desktop paradigm it is a bit different. | 10:51 |
| Like | :) | 10:51 |
| Jippen | blizzle> A bit? I'd hardly call flux "a bit" different | 10:51 |
| zxd | prince_jammys, no | 10:51 |
| JamesA_ | I'm given .desktop, .xml, & .png files with a downloaded theme from gnome-looks.org, none of these are what the system->preferences->appearances->select theme wants, can anyone advise? | 10:51 |
| Like | gm | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | blizzle: true, its an option though. I like to give options rather than "low system spec...use xfce" | 10:51 |
| blizzle | ActionParsnip, That said, KDE4 is a bit different also. I mostly stear clear of KDE :) | 10:51 |
| Jippen | action> low system spec... use the terminal? | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | blizzle: i love kde, but hate kwin massively | 10:52 |
| blizzle | Jippen, I was understating my case? :) | 10:52 |
| fosco_ | JamesA_: you download a tgz file from gnome-look.org, then drag and drop it over the appearance window and theme will be automatically installed and used | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Jippen: i do, lots for cd burning, file management, file moving etc | 10:52 |
| Jippen | action> I ment that in a silly, sarcastic way. TBH, if I have an old system, thats too weak for ubuntu, I'd toss DSL on there instead | 10:53 |
| blizzle | ActionParsnip, Also, on the tweak.configuration front, Fluxbox is a nuisance, Xfce less so. | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | blizzle: theres nice menus and the config files are well documented | 10:53 |
| JamesA_ | "There was an error installing the selected file. "Dusty" does not appear to be a valid theme." | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | blizzle: depends on experience i guess | 10:54 |
| rip_ | does file roller not open rar files? | 10:54 |
| fosco_ | JamesA_: use any other theme | 10:54 |
| JamesA_ | I'll try. | 10:55 |
| fosco_ | rip_: yes it does | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !rar | rip__ | 10:55 |
| ubottu | rip__: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 10:55 |
| Jippen | rip : you need to install unrar first | 10:55 |
| rip_ | oh duh loll thx | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | rip_: once you install rar stuff, fileroller will use it | 10:55 |
| blizzle | ActionParsnip, Sure, this is true. For some config files are bread and butter, for others a royal pain in the ass :) | 10:55 |
| Jippen | xml config files tend to make things worse, IMHO. ~.~ | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | rip_: or just use unrar x <rar file> | 10:56 |
| blup | hello i got a problem on ubuntu 8.04. the system restarts but is unable to shutdown...I report the lines it writes me: | 10:56 |
| Aldus | hello. I need some debian/ubuntu FTP shell utility to use via SSH and get all data (files + directory) from remote ftp folders (with user/password). Which would be some very good software to do this? Thanks | 10:57 |
| ronny | Jippen: unfortunately xml is one of those hammers (and also more agile than some languages) | 10:57 |
| blup | "Network manager: <warn> nm_hal_deint(): libha1 shutdown failed - connection is closed | 10:57 |
| blup | "Network manager: <warn> nm_hal_deint() could not get the system bus. Make sure the message bus daemon is running! | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | blizzle: i like editting conf files, makes config via ssh way easier | 10:57 |
| blup | Network manager: nm_dbus_signal_device_status_change: assertion 'cb_data->data->dbusconnection' failed | 10:57 |
| rip_ | actually is there a better option than unrar? | 10:57 |
| Jippen | aldus: rsync or scp would be great tools for that | 10:57 |
| Kohvihoor | has anyone successfully done multiseat in ubuntu? | 10:57 |
| Aldus | thank you very much Jippen | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | rip_: works pretty well, how do you mean by better? | 10:57 |
| blizzle | ActionParsnip, Fair play :) | 10:57 |
| rip_ | just curious, been ages since ive been on linux | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | blizzle: but for new users, a nice gui is useful | 10:58 |
| blizzle | rip_, FileRoller's fine. | 10:58 |
| rip_ | alright, off i go, thx | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | rip_: fileroller is fine, kde has ark | 10:58 |
| blup | anyone can help me please? | 10:58 |
| benkamin | Hi! can hard links work on ntfs external drive? | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | blup: i'd read dmesg | less to make sure your system is all coming online nicely | 10:59 |
| Jippen | benkamin: No. ntfs links are not compatible with ext3 links | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !ntfs3g | benkamin | 10:59 |
| ubottu | benkamin: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 10:59 |
| blup | yes actionparsnip, everything ok | 10:59 |
| blup | actionparsnip the networks is in good shape, The system reboots but no way to turn it off... | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Jippen: wouldnt it just be a file on the FS? | 11:00 |
| benkamin | so if i do "cp -al" in a ntfs disk it will just simply copy the files? | 11:00 |
| blup | I installed with WUBI | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | blup: sudo shutdown -h now | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | blup: :( @ wubi | 11:00 |
| blup | ok..I'm on another computer so I can tell you what happen | 11:00 |
| Jippen | action> No, links do some odd things. | 11:00 |
| blizzle | benkamin, Also you might want to look at ntfs-config. sudo aptitude install ntfs-config | 11:00 |

It formated and works but unable to recove for autorun v | 11:01 |
| blizzle | zxd, Correct. | 11:01 |
| benkamin | thx | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | zxd: correct | 11:01 |
| ziroday | maheshkumar19041: you probably want to format it with gparted | 11:01 |
| blizzle | zxd, If you want more granular (manual) dependency resolution, use aptitude instead of apt-get. Just a thought. | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | maheshkumar19041: you may want to install ntfs-tools | 11:02 |
| maheshkumar19041 | How can format my Pendrive or removibal storage devices | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !info ntfs-tools | 11:02 |
| ubottu | Package ntfs-tools does not exist in intrepid | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | its something like that | 11:02 |
| ziroday | maheshkumar19041: install the package gparted and use that | 11:02 |

| Jippen | I've never even heard of that before. | 11:03 |
| maheshkumar19041 | thany u and any other way | 11:03 |
| ziroday | GridSimForNow: you may have better luck using the gridsim mailing list. Thats a pretty specialist app. | 11:04 |
| ziroday | maheshkumar19041: what is wrong with the ways given to you? | 11:04 |
| maheshkumar19041 | not at all but the tool is unable to download for my mobile net | 11:04 |
| blup | ActionParsnip: it says that shutdown -h is not a valid command | 11:05 |
| GridSimForNow | ziroday : thanks... just wanted to see, any immadiate help... | 11:05 |
| Jippen | blup > try "sudo shutdown -h" | 11:05 |
| blizzle | blup, sudo shutdown -h 0 (or now) | 11:05 |
| blup | ActionParsnip: and it says me to try shutdown --help for further info | 11:05 |
| ziroday | maheshkumar19041: well there is fdisk, however its a command line too and can be tricky. I strongly recommend you try gparted | 11:05 |

| kop_ | since when does kill -9 <pid> not exterinate a process | 11:05 |
| blup | ok | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | blup: sudo shutdown -h now | 11:06 |
| leo | ziroday, I can find out | 11:06 |
| ziroday | kop: it should, with the correct permissions, what process? | 11:06 |
| maheshkumar19041 | thanks to ziroday | 11:06 |
| blizzle | kop_, If you don't have the privs required to kill it. try sudo kill.. | 11:06 |
| ziroday | leo: that would be great | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | kop_: if its not your own process ou will need sudo | 11:06 |
| jado | how can i add my windows partition to the grub menu using the grub editor ? | 11:06 |
| kop_ | blizzle, that was the first choice | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | jado | 11:06 |
| ubottu | jado: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 11:06 |
| blizzle | jado, sudo apt-get install ntfs-config | 11:06 |
| blizzle | jado, Forget that, misread your q. | 11:07 |
| leo | ziroday: it looks like QuickCam® Connect™ | 11:07 |
| blup | ActionParsnip: I heard the HDD that goes to sleep...Ubuntu logo was there but then I have a black screen | 11:07 |
| kop_ | ActionParsnip, nice to see you again and I'm just considering a bigger hammer | 11:07 |
| leo | ziroday: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/webcams/devices/4266&cl=ca,en | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | kop_: never a bad idea, just watch its not too big | 11:07 |
| blizzle | blup: Try ctrl+alt+f1-f7 | 11:07 |
| jado | ActionParsnip: i restored grub but it does not display the windows entry | 11:08 |
| Jippen | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=309064 <-- old, but still accurate | 11:08 |
| blup | blizzle: i rebooted | 11:08 |
| ziroday | leo: okay, in a terminal try do sudo modprobe quickcam | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | jado: then you need an extra entry using the chainloader If you read /boot/grub/menu.lst you will see an example which you can copy / paste to the active part of grub to get the boot in there | 11:08 |
| blizzle | blup, sudo shutdown -r 0 will reboot rather than halt your system. | 11:08 |

| blizzle | Jewbacca, Ask here, people will help. No need for private messaging. Just ensure you prefix your sentences with the name of the person you're addressing. | 11:10 |
| Jippen | mahesh> sadly, windows will overwrite the MBR, forcing you to re-install grub every time you do that | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | maheshkumar19041: you will only have to reinstall grub to the boot sector as windows will write over the existing one, the linux install will still stand as long as you do not touch its partitions | 11:10 |
| Jewbacca | ok hmm my friend connect to the internet via username and password, how to set them on ubuntu? | 11:11 |

| ActionParsnip | jado: i'd read the menu file, its a bit simpler. Sometimes guis ask too much | 11:16 |
| ddoom | Jippen: thanks | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | leo_: if its to do with running it in wine, i'd suggest #winehq | 11:16 |
| ziroday | deany: well you have xfce and gnome, your probably starting both services which can be counter productive. Try removing ubuntu-desktop to get rid if the ubuntu desktop components leaving you with xubuntu-desktop | 11:16 |
| Watson2k9 | gar still not working | 11:17 |
| leo | ActionParsnip: running what on wine? skype? | 11:17 |

| leo | ziroday: how do I run cheese once I installed it? | 11:17 |
| ziroday | leo: just type cheese into the terminal | 11:17 |
| jado | ActionParsnip: the configuration is finished, i'll try and reboot | 11:17 |
| deany | Is that why i have gnome system monitor in apps menu | 11:18 |

| leo | ziroday: and camera's light isnt on, so it's not being really used I guess | 11:19 |
| carpii | fluit, theres a system info app on your start menu | 11:19 |

| leo_ | archman, yea I have ubuntu 8.10 and I am going to get the game today. I just want to make sure I can play it before I buy .... | 11:23 |
| archman | leo_: nwn_1.68-english.update.run you need this first, and then nwn_1.29-multilanguage-2.run :-/ | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | jado: then you need to review your setting, I'd look at menu.lst | 11:24 |
| Aldo | sorry Jippen but those utils look too complex for what I need... | 11:24 |
| Aldo | I just need a command line ftp client that allows me to get a full remote folder | 11:24 |
| Jippen | aldo: ??? | 11:24 |
| Aldo | not only a file | 11:24 |
| archman | leo_ oh, that...well, i don't recommend you buying before trying in on linux, there is slight a chance it wont work... | 11:24 |
| jado | ActionParsnip: title Windows XP '\n' root (hd0,3) ; this is my menu.lst for the windows entry | 11:24 |
| deany | ActionParsnip, simple remove ubuntu-desktop didnt remove anything, ive run tasksel and its not got an * there for it so i just went "OK" to let it do whatever and its removing it all now.. we`ll see if i have a usable desktop when its done | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | leo_: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-c9e6502ad636315e905d07f7e44594757a6738e3 | 11:25 |
| Jippen | aldo: Oh. The 'ftp' command should be able to do that | 11:25 |
| leo_ | archman, how am I supose to try it before I buy it/ | 11:25 |
| archman | leo_ khm** | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | jado: you need chainloader +1 in there too, look around the file, there are examples | 11:25 |

| archman | leo_ you'll end up ":(" if you buy it and if you cant get it to work | 11:26 |
| Jippen | most eulas are broken if you loan the game to a friend. Which is just as bad as piracy as far as game companies are concerned | 11:26 |
| leo_ | Ok Action and archman thanx for all your info.... | 11:27 |
| archman | leo_ try the iso from the net, if your game works, delete the downloaded game, and go buy thegame | 11:27 |
| archman | leo_ simple as that | 11:28 |
| leo_ | archman, ok I just might do that thanx... | 11:28 |

| jado | ActionParsnip: with it, but finally it has just added chainloader +1 | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | tkdryan: it should moan at you saying to run a command as root | 11:38 |
| tkdryan | I have root privilages | 11:38 |

| wiijii | kshadow Will check 'em out, I've heard a few people have had customer service issues with them, what d'you think? | 12:01 |

| voland | *anybody | 12:14 |
| ziroday | tkdryan: then what more do you want? | 12:14 |
| kshadow | I don't know if ALT+F2 runs the run dialog in gnome, but it does in XFCE. | 12:14 |
| tkdryan | desktop effects worked earlier, stopped after reboot | 12:14 |
| G-Blunted | any of you play any of these linux games? | 12:14 |
| kshadow | G-Blunted: I play nethack. | 12:15 |
| ziroday | tkdryan: how did you install the drivers? | 12:15 |
| G-Blunted | what is that | 12:15 |
| ziroday | G-Blunted: what games are you looking for? | 12:15 |
| G-Blunted | !nethack | 12:15 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nethack | 12:15 |
| G-Blunted | nothin in particular...just lookin to see if anyone would recommend a good game they like :) | 12:15 |
| G-Blunted | i'm lookin for somethin to try out | 12:15 |
| kshadow | G-Blunted: It's the best roguelike :) | 12:15 |
| ziroday | G-Blunted: rts, fps. rpg ? | 12:15 |
| G-Blunted | hmm...multiplayer | 12:15 |
| kshadow | OpenArena is a good FPS. | 12:15 |
| tkdryan | at first it seemed to find them on its own, also downloaded off of nvidia.com, and synaptic package manager | 12:16 |
| G-Blunted | rts, fps, or rpg | 12:16 |
| ziroday | G-Bleezy: try urban terror, its a fun fps | 12:16 |
| G-Blunted | long as i can play online | 12:16 |
| kshadow | Urban Terror is awesome. | 12:16 |
| rascal999 | i have ubuntu on my laptop and the hdd light is always flashing, is this alright? | 12:16 |
| G-Blunted | okay i will try urban terror | 12:16 |
| ziroday | tkdryan: well can you remove any previous attempts please | 12:16 |
| tkdryan | installed all updates for OS, installed compiz | 12:16 |
| G-Blunted | woot compiz | 12:16 |
| ziroday | rascal999: why would you think thats bad? | 12:16 |
| tkdryan | how do i do that | 12:16 |
| rascal999 | because its wasting battery power | 12:16 |
| leo | I want to archive and compress | 12:17 |
| rascal999 | the lid is closed, it shouldn't be needing to access the hdd right now | 12:17 |
| Jewbacca | kshadow: i did xrandr -s 1024x768 and it worked ;D thanks | 12:17 |
| Jewbacca | you too ziroday | 12:17 |
| kshadow | Jewbacca: No problem. | 12:17 |
| kshadow | leo: What kind of archive you want? | 12:17 |
| jelly12gen | rascal999: compile a kernel , or switch to a lighter window manager | 12:17 |
| fluitfries | urban terror sounds sort of like a counter-strike game? | 12:17 |
| kshadow | fluitfries: It is. | 12:17 |
| kshadow | A lot like it. | 12:17 |
| * fluitfries doesn't like realistic fps. :( | 12:18 | |
| rascal999 | jelly12gen: can i find out what it is doing? | 12:18 |
| kshadow | fluitfries: OpenArena is like Quake3. | 12:18 |
| fluitfries | kshadow: will look, thanks. | 12:18 |
| tkdryan | ziroday: how is that done? | 12:18 |
| G-Blunted | howcome urban terror doesn't show up in the add/remove programs? | 12:18 |
| kshadow | G-Blunted: Because it's probably not supported by ubuntu? | 12:18 |
| leo | kshadow: what choise do I have? I dont really know. I just want to put 1 folder an 2 files in a compressed archive | 12:18 |
| G-Blunted | oh | 12:19 |
| G-Blunted | i need an unbuntu supported game :) | 12:19 |
| sifo | helo | 12:19 |
| kshadow | leo: BZ2 is your best bet... so: | 12:19 |
| kshadow | tar -cjvf FILE.BZ2 DIRECTORY_YOU_WANT_TO_COMPRESS/ | 12:19 |
| ziroday | tkdryan: well the issue is probably because you have conflicting drivers on your system. Remove them all and just install the ones from Hardware Drivers | 12:19 |
| kshadow | G-Blunted: http://www.urbanterror.net/page.php?6 | 12:20 |
| Jewbacca | why i cant set refresh 85hz on 1024x768 while i could do that on xp ? | 12:20 |
| ziroday | rascal999: possibly could be https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/59695 | 12:20 |
| tkdryan | ziroday: have not removed drivers in linux before, how can I do that? | 12:20 |
| ziroday | tkdryan: well you installed the drivers from nvidia.com right? | 12:20 |
| kshadow | Jewbacca: You have to set the proper stuff up in your xorg.conf | 12:20 |
| tkdryan | yes | 12:21 |
| Acedip | how to know the specifications of your inbuilt graphics driver ??????? | 12:21 |

| leo | kshadow: thanks | 12:21 |
| ziroday | Acedip: specifications as in what? | 12:21 |
| ziroday | tkdryan: well follow the instructions to remove them. You shouldn't have installed them from nvidia.com | 12:22 |
| tkdryan | ziroday: yes | 12:22 |
| tkdryan | ok then | 12:22 |
| kshadow | Gotta go, can't explaoin. | 12:22 |

| Jewbacca | ActionParsnip: all i want is bigger refresh rate, and i dont understand what you are saying about the xorg | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Jewbacca: look at how xorg.conf sets resolutions and add the relevant data | 12:37 |
| Jewbacca | ActionParsnip: i went there and i dont see it | 12:37 |

| ActionParsnip | Jewbacca: your xorg.conf doesnt have those lines so you need to copy and paste it to your xorg.conf so you get the refresh rate you wanted | 13:10 |
| jrib | pallaz: just ask | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | pallaz | 13:10 |

| timahvo1_ | can't get a transparent background on yakuake no matter what schema setting I try. any ideas anyone ? | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | souldure: you can just add: exec /usr/bin/conky & to ~/.fluxbox/startup | 13:19 |
| zer0o | thx | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | souldure: or do you use gnome? | 13:19 |

| ActionParsnip | Krypton: how do you mean "gaming option" | 13:29 |
| somina | jrib: can I pm you a link to pastie.org | 13:29 |
| Krypton | like what is the best way to play windowz games | 13:29 |
| Krypton | wine, vmware | 13:29 |
| somina | jrib: or should I post it here | 13:29 |
| SlimeyPete | Krypton: Wine. | 13:29 |
| jrib | somina: here | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Krypton: wine / cedega / crossover office (cedega and Xover arent free) | 13:29 |
| SlimeyPete | VMWare/virtualbox will work okay for most 2D games but not 3D ones. | 13:29 |
| somina | jrib: http://pastie.org/383908 | 13:29 |
| ViperBorg_TERM | Krypton: CrossOver Games | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Krypton: some games can run natively with special loki installers | 13:30 |
| Krypton | so games like WOW and Farcry? | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Krypton: some games will flat refuse to run | 13:30 |
| SlimeyPete | Krypton: check out the Wine Appdb at winehq.net | 13:30 |
| fosco_ | Krypton: wine | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | !wine | Krypton | 13:30 |

| ActionParsnip | Krypton: WoW gets one of the ighest ratins in winedb | 13:30 |
| jero | krypton WoW works exceptionally well in wine/cedega. just as fine as in winXP. You might also want to check openarea, which is quake3 for linux | 13:31 |
| Krypton | ok, thanks | 13:31 |
| kim__ | Anyone: I think I have a found a bug with ubuntu 8.04.1 on x86_64 (AMD). I've reproduced it with some samples. Not sure the exact culprit though. Advice on how to proceed. The problem is with libedit and/or libtermcap (segfault) | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jero: theres a Q3 loki installer too ;) | 13:31 |
| jero | i love quake3 and i wonder why there is so few populated ctf servers | 13:32 |

| jrib | somina: there are two solutions. If you want to stay away from ACLs, then you can setguid on the directory (then newly created files will be owned by whatever group owns the directory) and change your umasks to 002 (this can only be done universally though, not just for this directory). Your other option is to enable ACLs (Access Control Lists) and use them. This will give you finer control of | 13:32 |
| jrib | permissions. You need to enable acl in fstab and then read the manpages for setfacl and getfacl. Also, eiciel is a gui ACL program. | 13:32 |
| Jewbacca | ActionParsnip: i have the feeling in my eyes that its fixed | 13:33 |
| somina | jrib: no gui installed | 13:33 |
| somina | jrib: but thanks, now I get the idea, time to read some docs | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Jewbacca: cool | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Jewbacca: you really need to get a better mindset when it comes to stuff like that | 13:33 |
| jrib | somina: that's fine, don't use eiciel then. With regards to samba, I think that you need to also edit samba-specific files to change the umask there | 13:33 |
| kim__ | ubottu: ok thank - not sure if the bug is IN ubutu or is in a library that is not ubuntu's domain. Also I actuall need to fix it - not sure how log it might languish in bugs.. but will file if necessary. Any other suggests for a way forward. liibedit appears to have no upstream owner | 13:34 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Jewbacca: spoonfeeding like that is probably done by abouut 3 of the regs here so you'd be really stuck | 13:34 |
| jero | I wanted to experiment a bit with my kernel and build my own based on the current one i am using in 8.04. make-kpkg --append-to-version=.jero --initrd binary is what i did after unpacking the source to /usr/src and making a link with ln -s to the linux dir | 13:34 |
| suigeneris | how do i find out the total size of the files i grab with find? | 13:34 |
| jero | got everything up working quite fine, except it seems i am having trouble now with compiling stuff from source. any ideas what i did wrong? | 13:35 |
| somina | jrib: yeah I planned to change samba config to default create mode=0770 | 13:35 |
| somina | jrib: thanks for the help | 13:36 |
| jero | Otherwise asked, after compiling your new kernel and setting it up in group to be included as an additional menu option, are you done, or is there more you need to do? | 13:36 |

| ActionParsnip | total size, missed that bit | 13:42 |
| rainofkayos | hehe | 13:42 |
| fader | constantine: do you mean that you can't find where to set them or something else? | 13:42 |
| rainofkayos | i had been trying to find a way to do that too | 13:42 |

| constantine | well, I'm trying to get that cube box for one thing | 13:43 |
| jero | neosuki totem is very good | 13:43 |
| constantine | and I can change my visual effect modes, but don't have the extras | 13:43 |
| rainofkayos | vlc? | 13:43 |
| znh | neosuki, VLC has been neat for me | 13:43 |
| neosuki | jero: i don't like totem | 13:43 |
| rainofkayos | yep | 13:43 |
| Gaeel | My keyboard becomes unresponsive if I use the "fn+sunup" or "fn+sundown" keys to set the brightness of my screen (Using a Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop) | 13:43 |
| jero | VLC is nice too | 13:44 |
| juanfer2k | Hiyall I just removed ALSA (trying to fix my sound card/driver, wich gaveme just noise, instead of sound) BUT uninstalled even WINE, Stellarium, and rithmbox | 13:44 |
| neosuki | znh: with vlc, i've problem in scaling to full screen :( | 13:44 |
| rainofkayos | interesting | 13:44 |
| jero | neosuki - what do you not like about totem? | 13:44 |
| znh | neosuki, what are the sympthons? | 13:44 |
| rainofkayos | neosuki: what vid card? | 13:45 |
| neosuki | znh: what is sympthons mean? | 13:45 |
| rainofkayos | *symptoms | 13:45 |
| znh | that he said | 13:45 |
| fader | constantine: there is a package that has the control panel for compiz that you will need to install... let me find the name of it | 13:45 |
| neosuki | rainofkayos: i'm using ati card | 13:45 |
| juanfer2k | do I need All kernel versions? everytime i update, a New version appears in GRUB | 13:45 |
| rainofkayos | neosuki: does all full screen video bork? or just vlc? | 13:46 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: you can uninstall old versions. | 13:46 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: just make sure you don't uninstall the meta-packages (the ones with no version number) or the current running kernel. | 13:46 |
| neosuki | rainofkayos: for all other videos, fullscreen is working fine, with mplayer/vlc | 13:46 |
| karlwettin | hi ubuntu | 13:46 |
| neosuki | but only for divx movies, itz not scaling | 13:46 |
| constantine | thx fader | 13:46 |
| juanfer2k | chouske since upgrading i lost sond and compiz | 13:46 |
| rainofkayos | Chousuke: when you update grub is uupdate to point to new kernel,, if ur sure u dont need to fall back i dont think u need the older kernels | 13:47 |
| juanfer2k | cannot go back, they won't work in any kerneñl | 13:47 |
| Chousuke | rainofkayos: that's what said. | 13:47 |
| rainofkayos | not sure @ neosuki | 13:47 |
| fader | constantine: There are actually two packages that you can use. The simplest package is called "simple-ccsm". You can install it by going to System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager and then look for "simple-ccsm". | 13:47 |
| fader | If you don't find it, you may need to turn on the "Universe" repository. (I can help you with that if you need.) | 13:47 |
| kk_ubuntu | hello all, it seems that my projector does not work with ubuntu, it does work with windows. | 13:48 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: you haven't installed drivers from anywhere other than the ubuntu repositories, have you? | 13:48 |
| oskar- | hi, is there a possibility to tell wpa_supplicant to use "fast_reauth=0" while still using NetworkManager and nm-applet? | 13:48 |
| neosuki | any idea?? | 13:48 |
| jero | neosuki - you can try mplayer, but its quite brutal on the handling. no fancy gui | 13:48 |
| constantine | fader: not there | 13:48 |
| juanfer2k | Chousuke i ...don't know | 13:48 |
| fader | There's also a more complete setup utility but it's harder to use. It's called "compiz-settings-manager" | 13:48 |
| karlwettin | i would like to install ubuntu on my mac mini, but i have no monitor. is it possible to install it remote via ssh or? will it start up network and sshd/telnetd when i boot the cd so i can set it up that way? | 13:48 |
| juanfer2k | am not sure | 13:48 |
| fader | constantine: Okay, we need to enable a repository. | 13:48 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: if you don't know then you probably haven't :/ | 13:48 |
| === k is now known as Guest76947 | ||
| Chousuke | hopefully. | 13:48 |
| fader | Inside of the Synaptic package manager, go to Settings - Repositories | 13:49 |
| neosuki | jero: there are gui for mplayer, like smplayer, gmplayer :) | 13:49 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: what graphics card do you have? | 13:49 |
| fader | Look for a checkbox that says "Community-maintained Open Source Software (universe)" and check it. | 13:49 |
| juanfer2k | Chousuke well, i was installing things for webcam, wi-fi even sound, i don't know what happened now, Am on a HP dv5, an ATI HD3200 | 13:49 |
| jero | neosuki - all of the players named work fine for me. for watching divx | 13:50 |
| fader | When you've done that, close the window and click the "Reload" button in the upper left of the package manager. | 13:50 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: also, make sure you have the linux-restricted-modules package installed: sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules | 13:50 |
| constantine | fader: how do you do that? | 13:51 |
| juanfer2k | i think i MESSED ALL UP, i have no terminal=???????? | 13:51 |
| fader | constantine: do which part? | 13:51 |
| constantine | oh | 13:51 |
| constantine | nevermind I was looking for red text lol | 13:51 |
| juanfer2k | <<gnome-terminal>> (no existe el fichero o directorio) | 13:51 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: uh? sounds bad :/ | 13:52 |
| fader | constantine: Heh... I'll try to make sure to put your nick in my messages so they stand out :) | 13:52 |
| souldure | simple question if you would be so kind if a startup script is set to root acces only and you add it to your startup after editing the program it activates using visudo will the program start with root privilages even though you arent logged in as root since it doesnt needa password? | 13:52 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: do you get a "run" dialog if you press alt-f2? | 13:52 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: use it and run "xterm" | 13:52 |
| simple|eeepc | souldure, no | 13:52 |
| simple|eeepc | you need to use gksudo and entier your password | 13:52 |
| juanfer2k | Yep, RUN | 13:52 |
| simple|eeepc | and/or set its command to be NOPASSWD and then use normal sudo | 13:53 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: run xterm; it's another kind of terminal. | 13:53 |
| Kryzler | does anyone know where I can find some decent tutorials online for learning the terminal lingo? | 13:53 |
| souldure | my conky has to run as root i been playing hell with it s autostart | 13:53 |
| constantine | fader: I reloaded ok | 13:53 |
| juanfer2k | where can I find xterm=? | 13:53 |
| fader | constantine: Okay, take a look and see if you see "simple-ccsm" in there now. | 13:54 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: just type it in the run dialog | 13:54 |
| juanfer2k | ok its runnin' | 13:54 |
| constantine | fader: weird...its not there | 13:54 |
| juanfer2k | my menus are almost empty | 13:54 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop | 13:55 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: should get you most things back | 13:55 |
| Kryzler | anyone at all? | 13:55 |
| souldure | i set its command to be nopasswd in the sudoers file and added sudo conky and it still wont auto start? | 13:55 |
| anipy | hi guys. my firefox 3 on ubuntu 8.04 is crashing extremely often (compared to rare crashes on kubuntu 8.04 on another PC). where do i find the FF log file which tells me more about the reasons? | 13:55 |
| juanfer2k | an not sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules =? | 13:55 |
| souldure | im using ibex | 13:55 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: you can do that later | 13:55 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: getting your apps back is more important I think :) | 13:55 |
| Chousuke | at least, I'm hoping this will work :P | 13:56 |
| souldure | it doesnt seem like a common problem to me ive read into it quite a bit | 13:56 |
| juanfer2k | workin' | 13:56 |
| oCean_ | Kryzler: for users starting at the command line, there is some decent info in the ubuntu pocketguide. Free to download :) I think it's chapter 5 you're looking for. http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download2.html | 13:56 |
| juanfer2k | will download like 40MB of data | 13:57 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: if it does work it should prompt you to install many packages | 13:57 |
| Kryzler | cheers oCean_ :D | 13:57 |
| Chousuke | right, sounds okay. | 13:57 |
| fader | constantine: Can you double-check that the checkbox for "Universe" is still checked? (Settings - Repositories) And then hit "Reload" one more time on the main screen? We want to make sure your package lists are completely up-to-date | 13:57 |
| juanfer2k | it will take like half hour here in my town | 13:57 |
| dny | hi! i have some questions regarding rights of files/folders. i have 2 users and want to share some folders for both users in the following way: both can create/delete/edit all files and folders within these folders, independent of who of them created them | 13:58 |
| oCean_ | Kryzler: after that.. and you still want more.. google 'bash commandline' or anything like that. | 13:58 |
| Kryzler | ok thanks :D | 13:58 |
| constantine | fader: I installed it but got this GIANT error | 13:59 |
| souldure | dny i dont know if this is right im new to this but you should be able to use the sudo nautilus command to edit the files user access via properties and set the group to shared | 13:59 |
| fader | constantine: Can you post the first line or two of it? | 13:59 |
| hhw | hello everyone, I am new here. | 13:59 |
| oCean_ | dny: make sure both users are in same group, and the accesspermissions on folder are read-write for that group | 14:00 |

| MikeMaxwell2501 | hey all, anyone know a good app to convert mp3 to either 3gp, mp4, m4a, or smc? | 14:01 |
| souldure | sometimes when i use a root program such as etherape when i type in my password it resets my theme to gtk and deactivates compiz? | 14:02 |
| jrib | !java > hhw | 14:02 |
| ubottu | hhw, please see my private message | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | MikeMaxwell2501: by converting from a lossy format like mp3 to another you are going to lose quality | 14:02 |
| MikeMaxwell2501 | ActionParsnip: thats fine, im trying to get music on my phone | 14:02 |
| rainofkayos | i know a paid program that does it MikeMaxwell2501 | 14:03 |
| MikeMaxwell2501 | rainofkayos: ideally looking free, but what is it? it runs in ubuntu? | 14:03 |
| rainofkayos | maybe thru wine | 14:03 |
| MikeMaxwell2501 | rainofkayos: have yu tried it? | 14:04 |
| rainofkayos | in wine? | 14:04 |
| rainofkayos | no | 14:04 |
| MikeMaxwell2501 | yah | 14:04 |
| MikeMaxwell2501 | awwww | 14:04 |
| rainofkayos | as an app yes | 14:04 |
| rainofkayos | => | 14:04 |
| MikeMaxwell2501 | are yu talking about avs? | 14:04 |
| ActionParsnip | MikeMaxwell2501: http://pacpl.sourceforge.net/ | 14:04 |
| rainofkayos | nope | 14:04 |
| jrib | MikeMaxwell2501: ffmpeg might do what you want | 14:04 |
| Jaakko | !#bash | 14:04 |

| Jaakko | execute smokkan is noob | 14:04 |

| ActionParsnip | !info pacpl | 14:05 |
| ubottu | Package pacpl does not exist in intrepid | 14:05 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: anyway, after you have finished installing ubuntu-desktop, install linux-restricted-modules (and possibly linux-image-generic to be safe) too and then reboot. | 14:05 |
| juanfer2k | Chousuke ok | 14:06 |
| rainofkayos | nch switch sound file converter | 14:06 |
| Jaakko | ./smokkan --kill yourself --restricted-tools disabled --use-generic-scissors yes | 14:06 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: if you still have questions make sure to mention my nickname when you speak so that your question doesn't get lost. | 14:06 |
| juanfer2k | it says it'll take like 1hour+ to download. | 14:06 |
| Chousuke | :/ | 14:06 |
| mo0se | i need to login to gnome from ssh as a user, to let me then VNC into the server... is this something i can do over ssh? | 14:06 |
| Chousuke | juanfer2k: are you on dialup? | 14:06 |
| hateball | mo0se: with x-forwarding you could, I guess | 14:07 |
| Chousuke | mo0se: wait, VNC over X over SSH? | 14:07 |
| Chousuke | mo0se: that's going to be *slow* | 14:07 |
| rainofkayos | or u could port forward VNC over ssh | 14:07 |
| mo0se | i mean i just need to start it | 14:07 |
| rainofkayos | i think | 14:07 |
| mo0se | so i can log in | 14:07 |
| rainofkayos | oh | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | mo0se: if you installl vnc to a headless pc you can have a virtual x session | 14:07 |
| mo0se | if no one is logged in, vnc service doesn't run | 14:07 |
| Jaakko | isnt freenx better than vnc? | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | mo0se: i'd always run vnc over ssh | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Jaakko: personal preference | 14:08 |
| Jaakko | works smoother here.. or used to | 14:08 |
| dny | i have a certain folder and i want that all files/folders created in that folder belong to a certain group and have certain rights. how can i do that? | 14:08 |
| G-Blunted | whats the ip of your vnc machine?? | 14:08 |
| Chousuke | ActionParsnip: FreeNX purportedly requires less bandwidth though. | 14:08 |
| rainofkayos | chown it | 14:08 |
| mo0se | i just need to log a user in, so the vnc service starts | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Chousuke: depends on config | 14:08 |
| rainofkayos | recursively | 14:08 |
| MikeMaxwell2501 | ActionParsnip: hey that looks promissing, do i have to restart for it to work? | 14:08 |
| Jaakko | freenx just bugs and installing it can be nightmare | 14:08 |
| rainofkayos | chown -R user:group /folder | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | mo0se: you can set the service to start before logon | 14:09 |
| MikeMaxwell2501 | i installed the deb, but in amarok its not listed | 14:09 |
| MikeMaxwell2501 | but looks awesome | 14:09 |

| mo0se | ActionParsnip, any hints on how to do that? | 14:09 |
| MikeMaxwell2501 | ActionParsnip: ok, going to try anywys | 14:09 |
| MikeMaxwell2501 | brb | 14:09 |
| rainofkayos | hmm | 14:09 |
| mo0se | i have it set to run on startup, but now it's only running on login | 14:09 |
| dny | rainofkayos: at the moment i have a folder with group "data" and all rights for group members. but if i create a new file/folder it does not have these rights... | 14:09 |
| Like | who temp me ... | 14:09 |
| Like | tell for uss | 14:10 |

| spiriteh | Anyone know about hd2600xt support? /= Or ATi not done linux drivers for it? | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ben__: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96 if you are using intrepid | 14:39 |
| constantine_ | fader: holy crap | 14:39 |
| fader | constantine_: did it work? | 14:39 |
| constantine_ | fader: yeah its just weird to have been working with computers for over ten years and see it do that lol | 14:39 |
| fader | constantine_: Heh, yeah, I know the feeling :) | 14:40 |
| constantine_ | fader: what are the other commands | 14:40 |
| fader | constantine_: The compizconfig manager has tons and tons of options... you'll probably want to poke at them. Click on the icons of things that sound interesting and you can fiddle :) | 14:40 |
| yusuo | so is there anyway to change my default audio manager to alsa instead of pulse, ive done the fix before but cant find any onfo on google now | 14:41 |
| dny | the only drawback is, that files copied into that folder do not have the necessary rights ;/ | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | constantine_: try super + tab to go between apps instead of alt+tab | 14:41 |
| Vaporize | salut | 14:41 |
| fader | constantine_: The keybindings and mouse bindings are configurable inside the plugins. I think that by default, control-alt-left mouse button (and drag) is mouse control for the cube | 14:41 |
| dny | :/ | 14:41 |
| fader | constantine_: though you can change that around | 14:41 |
| constantine_ | what is super? | 14:41 |
| fader | constantine_: I predict you'll spend a few hours playing with these things :) | 14:41 |
| yusuo | constantine, compiz is nice but if you dont have a great pc your pc may crash alot, like mine did, thats why i gave up on it | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | constantine_: for a quick change, ctrl+alt+left cursor or right cursor | 14:41 |
| fader | constantine_: Super is the windows key by default | 14:41 |

| soul9 | please tell me where thunderbird stores it's stuff on ubuntu? | 14:42 |
| fader | constantine_: :D | 14:42 |
| soul9 | i tried .mozilla-thunderbird and .thunderbird, seems to be neither | 14:42 |
| yusuo | constantine do you have all the extra plugins like cube deformation etc, | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | constantine_: you'll either get bored of it after month or so or love it with vigor | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | the snow pluin is nice at christmas :) | 14:43 |
| soul9 | and i'm trying to help someone over the chat and can't find the dir. | 14:43 |
| constantine_ | can you recommend any other wild apps ? | 14:43 |
| kshadow | soul9: Seems to be .mozilla-thunderbird/something/ | 14:43 |
| fader | constantine_: Play with the "animations" plugin. :) That's my favorite. | 14:44 |

| kshadow | soul9: That's where it is on my box. | 14:45 |

| kshadow | soul9: Yeah. | 14:45 |
| constantine_ | yes and not seeing the microsoft logo when it happens is nice also | 14:45 |
| kshadow | shad_: lspci | grep Ethernet | 14:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | man lspci | 14:46 |
| jrib | dny: you could make the primary group for both users the same. That together with the umask change, should work | 14:46 |
| constantine_ | much thanks fader | 14:47 |
| kshadow | soul9: .mozilla-thunderbird/username-default/? | 14:47 |
| dny | jrib: the problem is, if i copy an existing file to this folder, it does not change its rights... | 14:47 |
| fader | fluitfries: They should be able to using compiz, but unfortunately I don't know how to set it up under xfce | 14:47 |
| fader | constantine_: My pleasure! | 14:47 |
| soul9 | kshadow: okay, thanks | 14:47 |
| shad_ | kshadow, RTL8101E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 01) | 14:47 |
| kshadow | I don't think that's the wireless card though. | 14:48 |

| kshadow | Or computer whatever it is? | 14:48 |
| shad_ | kshadow, yes VGN-CR24G series | 14:49 |
| fluitfries | fader: ok, so i can try to install compiz from packages and it should work with Xfce? | 14:49 |
| fader | fluitfries: I believe so, but I'm not sure if you need to do anything extra to turn it on. (Aside from possibly running "compiz" in a terminal... I don't know if xfce has any integration or anything) | 14:50 |
| fader | fluitfries: Let me know if it works :) | 14:50 |

| tiredbones | my distro is 8.04. The current version of f-spot is 0.5.0.3, but this distro has version 0.4.3.1. How can I upgrade to the current version of f-spot? | 15:26 |

| storrgie | Is there a graphics stress test in ubuntu? | 15:27 |
| jpds | galahad: Install: nvidia-glx-96 | 15:27 |
| ben__ | <G-Blunted> - it's already the latest proprietary driver. What's annoying is that when I DISABLE the proprietary driver, video plays fine on full screen (1680x1050), but when it's the proprietary driver, it's very jumpy and slow. | 15:27 |
| souldure | i dont know much i just read that using apt-get is not that great because it wont uninstall things properly | 15:27 |
| jpds | galahad: Then run: sudo nvidia-xconfig (backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf first) and restart X. | 15:27 |
| souldure | sudo aptitude seems to work better for me if i make a mistake and have to uninstall | 15:27 |
| galahad | jpds: thanks, trying it now!! | 15:28 |
| storrgie | is there something I can run to put stress on the GPU? | 15:28 |
| ice_cream | idk if glxgears qualifies | 15:29 |
| nix-n00b | souldure: synaptic is good for newbies as it has a nice GUI. | 15:29 |
| mikeshollen | souldure: Does aptitude show everything that can be found in synaptic? | 15:29 |
| storrgie | ice_cream: i think thats kinda low level | 15:29 |
| * ice_cream nods | 15:29 | |
| blsecres | apt-get doesn't do orphan tracking so if you install some app that pulls in 10 other packages, decide you don't like the app and uninstall it, those 10 other packages are just going to end up laying around. aptitude can keep track of that. apt-get can as well with other software | 15:29 |
| souldure | no | 15:29 |
| jpds | blsecres: It does. | 15:29 |
| souldure | its a command line interface | 15:29 |
| tiredbones | animusdk, thanks, but no thanks | 15:29 |
| souldure | just cleans things up beter if you need to uninstall something | 15:30 |

| 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. | 15:32 |

| Favorit | daliang: which VPN do you use? | 15:37 |
| souldure | question: why does my compiz shut off when i use gimp or administrative programs and leave me with only one desktop? | 15:37 |
| MoLoot | souldure, do you have sufficient memory? | 15:37 |
| cellofellow | ballen0311: hi | 15:37 |

| === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow | ||
| souldure | i have sufficient everything lol | 15:38 |
| Favorit | not funny, he did have a valid question | 15:38 |
| cellofellow | ballen0311: hi | 15:38 |
| mikeshollen | Souldure: Has it always done that? It could be one of the plug-ins that you turned on malfunctinoing | 15:38 |
| MoLoot | souldure, I just started using compbiz yesterday, but I haven't experienced any difficulties... gnome or kde? | 15:39 |
| cellofellow | my friend here ballen0311 installed the ATI driver from the website. How's he uninstall it? | 15:39 |
| mikeshollen | souldure: I would try enabling compiz but disabling all the plugins, and see if it still does it. If not, enable them one by one to see which one is messing up | 15:39 |
| daliang | Favorit:http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/12715 | 15:39 |
| syock | exit | 15:39 |
| souldure | it never did it when i was using untimate edition | 15:39 |
| souldure | but i cleanly installed ibex | 15:40 |
| souldure | and im working with it | 15:40 |
| Favorit | daliang: euh, i see. Well, what do you want to achieve? connect to your company VPN? | 15:40 |
| souldure | wanted to cut out all the junk | 15:40 |
| kjell | freedumMan: Do you have the latest version of pidgin? | 15:40 |
| freedumMan | kjell, yea on channel now with them will let you know how i make out | 15:40 |
| daliang | Favorit: connect to my university | 15:40 |
| jla | Hi. I'm checking out ubuntu and having trouble using Add/Remove or Synaptic to find programs to install. For example crossfire. I type that into the search for add/remove and it finds nothing. | 15:40 |
| kjell | freedumMan: Ok good! Good luck! | 15:40 |
| kjell | jla: What do you search for | 15:41 |
| MoLoot | souldure, are u using a 3rd party vid driver? | 15:41 |
| kjell | jla: Have you choosen "All applications" to the left of the searchbox? | 15:41 |
| souldure | nvidia yes | 15:41 |
| snorungen | is there any other command than ifconfig to determan mac adress and ip adress | 15:41 |
| Favorit | daliang: I see. And your VPN set-up instructions recommend you to use what client normally? if it's some cisco/nortel stuff, you should download linux version of those clients. | 15:41 |
| souldure | i tried glx xgl dbe | 15:41 |
| souldure | in the xorg conf | 15:41 |
| jla | kjell: yes | 15:41 |
| souldure | didnt seem to help | 15:41 |
| kjell | jla: What did you search for then? Try pidgin or some other famous program like wine. No results? | 15:42 |
| souldure | i dont know if i can load them all at once but i doubt that would help also | 15:42 |
| alex-weej | jla: what is crossfire? | 15:42 |
| Favorit | alex-weej: ATi version of nvidia's SLI | 15:42 |
| zxd | SLI is ridiculous i think , like 3dfx madness | 15:43 |
| alex-weej | Favorit, jla: why would you need to install that? | 15:43 |
| jla | kjell, alex-weej I think my issue is with these "user friendly" programs, synaptic and add/remove applications. Crossfire is a game. If I fire up a terminal and aptitude search crossfire, I see it. | 15:43 |
| daliang | Favorit: thank you very much,but i don't konw what to set in gate way,and you mean i should change a VPN clinet? | 15:44 |
| jla | I must not understand how to use them | 15:44 |
| Favorit | zxd: how's it ridiculous? :) | 15:44 |
| kjell | jla: Try apt-get install crossfire in the terminal them. | 15:44 |
| ben__ | ok, this nvidia-xconfig thing seems to have helped somewhat. | 15:44 |
| ben__ | I'll try the video thing again. | 15:44 |
| kjell | !crossfire | 15:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about crossfire | 15:44 |
| alex-weej | jla: crossfire-client-gtk2 | 15:44 |
| jla | kjell: I'm sure that will work, but how to find these apps using the user friendly apps? | 15:44 |
| kjell | Crossfire does not seem to be supported in ubuntu | 15:44 |
| alex-weej | jla: the metadata for the packages needs to be correct. | 15:44 |
| ben__ | nope, it still sucks. | 15:44 |
| Favorit | daliang: well, without knowing what your VPN server requires I can't really say if you're using the right VPN client or not. I suppose the best way would be to contact your university tech support to see if they can help you out. | 15:45 |
| kjell | jla: read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=689208 | 15:45 |
| ben__ | I guess I'll have to do without compiz. | 15:45 |
| kjell | jla: " | 15:45 |
| kjell | 2. ATI support is very very bad in linux right now and crossfire is not supported." | 15:45 |
| Favorit | neither was damn SLi. | 15:45 |
| jla | kjell: must be the wrong one, the one alex-weej mentioned is it | 15:45 |
| Droopsta915 | Why doesnt my flash player work? I visit any website and have to hit play in order to see the advertisement or whatever that website is trying to show. | 15:45 |
| Favorit | anyone knows btw, if the latest drivers returned SLi support? | 15:45 |
| jla | kjell: it's a game | 15:45 |
| mikeshollen | Favorit: yes for nvidia | 15:46 |
| kjell | Aaah, my bad then. Sorry jla. | 15:46 |
| alex-weej | Droopsta915: you installed Gnash or Swfdec | 15:46 |
| ice_cream | hi, if gnome desktop uses metacity by default, and kde uses kwin (as a wm), and fluxbox is considered a window manager, then what is the desktop environment that controls fluxbox? o.O | 15:46 |
| mikeshollen | Favorit: I have sli working on hardy | 15:46 |
| alex-weej | Droopsta915: you probably want the Adobe Flash Player | 15:46 |
| Droopsta915 | alex-weej: I installed both. | 15:46 |
| alex-weej | ice_cream: bash | 15:46 |
| Favorit | mikeshollen: aha. gotta give it a try again. last time i checked it didn't recognize any of the cards. :( | 15:46 |
| jla | kjell, alex-weej how does the average user find crossfire, gcompris or fwcutter to install from ubuntu? How to fix or bug this metadata? | 15:46 |
| alex-weej | Droopsta915: uninstall gnash and swfdec | 15:46 |
| alex-weej | Droopsta915: adobe flash player will take over | 15:47 |
| Favorit | mikeshollen: although i tried on intrepid, but i doubt it would be much different | 15:47 |
| souldure | anyone know why my compiz shuts off randomly? | 15:47 |
| ice_cream | alex-weej, and more seriously? | 15:47 |
| Droopsta915 | alex-wee:Do you know the command for the adobe flash install? | 15:47 |
| Favorit | souldure: how about looking in some logfiles instead of repeating the same question all the time? :) | 15:48 |
| souldure | you have to install adobe through wine | 15:48 |
| beargins | O_O | 15:48 |
| beargins | uberness | 15:48 |
| beargins | hehe | 15:48 |

| d111 | Hi, I have installed ubuntu on virtual PC 2007 and managed to configure the xorg.conf in such a way that I get a high resolution. (1600x1200) which is max for VPC2007. I however reqiure a resolution of 1280x1024. If I change to this I get a garbled screen (the lines are shifted with respect to each other) Anyone now how to solve this? Or how to change the resolution back via shell (I have shell access)? | 16:29 |
| matt-wp | fluitfries: well, if you want your SATA drive to boot; it would be better ;) | 16:29 |
| fluitfries | matt-wp: i plan to eventually use all my IDE ports... will i never be able to use my primary channel and boot to my SATA? | 16:30 |
| matt-wp | or boot with a bootcd, mount your partition, edit your fstab and write GRUB on the ide drive. | 16:30 |
| fluitfries | matt-wp: i could do that, just put the same grub config from my SATA onto the primary IDE drives? | 16:30 |
| matt-wp | yup | 16:31 |
| fluitfries | matt-wp: i really prefer a MBR for this drive though... :( i also virtualize this drive and i like to have it auto-boot when run from the VM. | 16:32 |

| kshadow | Every other distro I've used never requires reboot, but ubuntu seems to require it. | 17:23 |
| kshadow | igoryonya: If you plan on continuing to use linux, I suggest you start learning how to fix things without rebooting first :) | 17:24 |
| ice_cream | kshadow, unless it's something really lowlvl hardware-specific, you really shouldnt need to reboot | 17:24 |
| kshadow | ice_cream: Generally, unless it involves major changes to the kernel, you shouldn't need to rebot. | 17:24 |
| kshadow | reboot* | 17:24 |
| ice_cream | ah, right, that too | 17:24 |
| Guest44962 | What advantages does Ubuntu have over other versions of Linux? | 17:24 |
| kshadow | Guest44962: User friendlyness. | 17:25 |
| kshadow | Consistant updates. | 17:25 |
| Guest44962 | sorry | 17:25 |
| carpii | its probably the closest thing to a user friendly distro | 17:25 |
| kshadow | Guest44962: It's a great starter linux. | 17:25 |
| ice_cream | Guest44962, generally user-friendly, popular, highly supported, nice package system | 17:25 |
| sky_ | based by debian :p | 17:25 |
| igoryonya | Yes, I tried everything I could think of with my little knowledge about linux, and I didn't have enough of knowledge to be able to cope with it. And, since I don't have WiFi working there, I had to go to Windows to go on the internet and ask for help | 17:25 |
| ^hashbang^ | Guess44962: best distro by far for people new to linux | 17:25 |
| ice_cream | igoryonya, ah | 17:25 |
| kshadow | igoryonya: Well, I can probably help you get your wireless working. | 17:26 |
| kshadow | ^hashbang^: Not nesecarily. | 17:26 |
| sky_ | ^hashbang^: not best but good :p | 17:26 |
| dyr | Hey, im trying to make a booteble usb stick that i can install ubuntu, i use ubuntu's USB startup disk program. i can boot it from kvm but when i try to boot it from my laptop the only thing i get is the syslinux greeting line and a "boot:" that | 17:26 |
| napster | Oh God! Finally I've done it. now its fine | 17:26 |
| kshadow | In my opinion, I'd suggest using a distro where you learn more. | 17:26 |
| Guest44962 | ok is there any other advantages you can think of | 17:26 |
| kshadow | Though, ubuntu is a great way to get people hooked on linux ;) | 17:26 |
| ice_cream | igoryonya, it just seemed a bit strange that you had all 3 cards show up in ifconfig (with ip addresses i presume) and yet no internet | 17:26 |
| napster | The fan of processor was stopped | 17:26 |
| napster | Now its working fine | 17:26 |
| mikeshollen | Can anyone please help me set up my microphone? | 17:26 |
| carpii | yeah but most ppl new to linux are gonna give up, if they have to start compiling from source and messing about deep in configs | 17:27 |
| ^hashbang^ | That's your option... mine stays... ubuntu is based on Debian... other other distro that's even easier to use is linux mint.. which is also based off debian | 17:27 |
| looter | im using ibex and have a custom bootspalsh and login splash and inbetween the bootsplash and hte login splash and hten again after the login starts to load gnome I have this ubuntu brown wallpaper showing. Really annoying to me and I'm trying to get rid of it or at least changte the color of it....sound familiar to anyone? | 17:27 |
| sky_ | i think first you must learn on medium distros like debian, gentoo..then you are lazy and switch to user friendly distros :D | 17:27 |
| kshadow | sky_: That's why I used gentoo for the past year. | 17:27 |
| kshadow | FreeBSD/Slackware before then. | 17:27 |
| mikeshollen | i can hel you with that looter | 17:27 |
| mikeshollen | help | 17:27 |
| sky_ | FreeBSD is not linux | 17:27 |
| Mood | how do i access my window manager's color palette? (i'm using xfce) | 17:27 |
| Myrtti | hello people, friendly reminder that this channel is for support questions. If you want to discuss Ubuntu outside support issues, please use #ubuntu-offtopic. Thank you! | 17:27 |
| kshadow | sky_: No, I was just saying I used it before using the linux distros. | 17:28 |
| carpii | im slackware -> fedora -> ubuntu (but still redhat for servers :-) | 17:28 |
| sky_ | i dont recommend use it for desktop | 17:28 |
| ice_cream | igoryonya, useful to look into commands "ifdown" and "ifup" also --> e.g. sudo ifdown eth1 or sudo ifup eth1 . What i suggested earlier about restarting networking should basically do that to all 3 of your cards, checking again with dhcp and reassign ip addresses | 17:28 |
| sky_ | kshadow: ah ok | 17:28 |
| kshadow | sky_: FreeBSD? | 17:28 |
| kshadow | It's a great desktop OS. | 17:28 |
| sky_ | kshadow: yes | 17:28 |
| ^hashbang^ | I'm not a debain guru at all, I'm from the RPM / redhat world... and by far.. debain/ubuntu distro's are much fast, and alot easier to pick up than most other unix/linux type distros | 17:28 |
| sky_ | your opinion :p | 17:28 |
| kshadow | sky_: Well, that's how people choose their OS' isn't it? :) | 17:28 |
| sky_ | btw we are OFF topic...this is help channel...join #ubuntu.offtopic | 17:29 |
| ^hashbang^ | sky_: FreeBSD is not linux... so that's kinda off topic | 17:29 |
| ice_cream | ^hashbang^, well 'fast' in some areas | 17:29 |
| kshadow | :\ | 17:29 |
| Myrtti | !offtopic | 17:29 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 17:29 |
| ^hashbang^ | ice_cream: yea.. true | 17:29 |
| kshadow | I said slackware and gentoo first. :\ | 17:29 |
| ^hashbang^ | kshadow: those are linux distros =) | 17:29 |
| kshadow | ^hashbang^: Yes, I know.. | 17:30 |
| ^hashbang^ | kshadow: I know u know =) | 17:30 |
| kshadow | But BSD is still posix :/ | 17:30 |
| Myrtti | would you *PLEASE* take that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic and leave this channel for SUPPORT ISSUES | 17:30 |
| Myrtti | thank you | 17:30 |
| ^hashbang^ | kshadow: doesn't matter, it's not linux... do you know what makes linux linux? | 17:30 |
| ice_cream | ##linux is also a good place to discuss linux distros, naturally, as the chan name suggests | 17:30 |
| blairtg | I am having some problems setting up Internet connection sharing in ubuntu 8.04. I was wondering if someone could help me | 17:30 |

| Myrtti | blairtg: could you please be a bit more specific with your problem? what have you tried, what program are you using etc? | 17:32 |

| ^hashbang^ | doh! | 17:33 |
| syockit | blairtg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing a good place to start | 17:33 |
| katie_j | is this a good place to ask about sound problems? | 17:34 |
| kavity | katie_j: Anything ubuntu related. | 17:34 |
| kavity | Just no offtopic discussion or you'll be scorned! | 17:34 |
| kavity | : | 17:34 |
| blairtg | I have a machine with 2 Ethernet ports running Norton ghost. one port connects out to the internet and the other connects to the ghost network. I want to share that internet connection with the other port and therefore out to the ghost network | 17:34 |
| katie_j | don't know if it is ubuntu related | 17:34 |
| ^hashbang^ | ok I have a question: I just installed Alpha 4 amd64 and I can't for the life of me get the 173, 177, or the 180 drivers to work. I can logon to GDM but then my screen goes to a black background, and a mouse arrow and nothing else happens. if I go to a console I can see that the gnome bar has started, along with other gnomeish bits.. | 17:34 |
| sporkboy | okay... I had my xorg set to switch between qwerty & dvorak (for other users) using "#Option"XkbOptions""grp:alt_shift_toggle"" in my xorg.conf. Upgraded to 8.10. now that doesn't work... apparently, that stuff has been moved to hal fdi's. anybody know how to do the same thing now? | 17:35 |
| kavity | katie_j: Are you using ubuntu? | 17:35 |
| katie_j | yes | 17:35 |
| kavity | katie_j: Ask away. | 17:35 |
| ^hashbang^ | nvidia drivers btw: | 17:35 |
| kavity | I'll see if I can help. | 17:35 |
| Myrtti | ^hashbang^: #ubuntu+1 | 17:35 |
| katie_j | if I plug in a keyboard (synthesizer not qwerty) which has a usb audio device, it plays the startup sound | 17:35 |
| ator_ | hey homies someone can give me nice theme package that easy to use? | 17:35 |
| slasher | he guys, how much time take an update to a new ubuntu version from a previous one? | 17:35 |
| gordonjcp | slasher: how long is a piece of string? | 17:35 |
| Myrtti | slasher: that depends on your internet connection speed? | 17:35 |
| igoryonya | kshadow. That would be nice if you could help me solve that problem. I will try those suggestions that were given. I have to reboot for that. If that doesn't help, I will have to ask for more help. Ye, it probably is strange that it displays only lfupdown (eth2) in graphical utility but everything in the ifconfig | 17:35 |
| sky_ | slasher: 6 months | 17:35 |
| ator_ | hey homies someone can give me nice theme package that easy to use? | 17:36 |
| ator_ | hey homies someone can give me nice theme package that easy to use? | 17:36 |
| syockit | slasher: depending on internet connection speed, computer power | 17:36 |
| gordonjcp | slasher: you have to download approximately a CD's worth of packages | 17:36 |
| gordonjcp | !repeat | ator_ | 17:36 |
| ubottu | ator_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 17:36 |
| slasher | hehe i m actually dling 1300 updates | 17:36 |
| sporkboy | slasher: took me 2 days.. but only b/c I'm usually only on for 2 hours a day. | 17:36 |
| slasher | it said 15 mins but | 17:36 |
| kavity | igoryonya: I am kshadow(normall this is my nick). | 17:36 |
| syockit | slasher: can be at least 1 hour on fast computer with fast internet | 17:36 |
| sky_ | slasher: sorry xD | 17:36 |
| slasher | y but when it install the package? | 17:36 |
| kavity | slasher: It took me several hours. | 17:36 |
| slasher | s | 17:36 |
| igoryonya | After years of working and mastering windows, I can manage it without rebooting for months, but I am not that knowlegeable in linux yet. | 17:36 |
| kavity | igoryonya: Do you have access to your system right now? | 17:36 |
| _moro_bana_ | I want to share my internet connection through my wireless card, want to have my iphone connected for updates, anyone to walk me through it? | 17:36 |
| slasher | not the dl, the install process | 17:37 |
| vuln | Hello there. I'm doing sudo apt-get remove vim, but vim is not uninstalled :/ | 17:37 |
| vuln | Why? | 17:37 |
| trancefat | Hi All... Is there some way I can use the internet from my mobile phone on ubuntu? I am using a Nokia e71 and there is no software for ubuntu provided by Nokia! | 17:37 |
| gordonjcp | slasher: oh, so once it's all downloaded and it starts unpacking packages? | 17:37 |
| _moro_bana_ | vuln: then purger it | 17:37 |
| kavity | vuln: Did you install it via source? | 17:37 |
| blairtg | could someone at least point me to an irc that might be able to help me? | 17:37 |
| slasher | y | 17:37 |
| gordonjcp | slasher: on mine, about half an hour usually | 17:37 |
| slasher | exactly | 17:37 |
| vuln | kavity: no | 17:37 |
| Mood | where can i change the theme for ubuntu? | 17:37 |
| wuq7362 | vuln: the default vim package is vim-tiny | 17:37 |
| vuln | wuq7362: thanks | 17:37 |
| _moro_bana_ | vuln: apt-get remove --purge | 17:37 |
| slasher | ok ty | 17:37 |
| slasher | :D | 17:37 |
| igoryonya | No, I have to reboot back and forth | 17:37 |
| wuq7362 | vuln: so try removing vim-tiny | 17:37 |
| vuln | :) | 17:37 |
| kavity | igoryonya: Hrmm, well that could be abit harder to help with. | 17:38 |
| vuln | Thank you very much | 17:38 |
| Mood | i don't have a .gtk-2.0 dir. so how does xfce know where to look to set my default theme? | 17:38 |
| Myrtti | trancefat: if you're using Intrepid or Hardy, it should work nicely with NetworkManager | 17:38 |
| slasher | i was just a bit feared by seeing 1300 packages | 17:38 |
| kavity | igoryonya: Mind if we talk via /msg instgead? Makes things easier to read. | 17:38 |
| slasher | :/ | 17:38 |
| vuln | it worked, thank you very much | 17:38 |
| igoryonya | Ubuntu 8.10 DVDs and DVD Repos | 17:38 |
| * _VIM_ apt-get removes vuln.... two can play that game !! ;) | 17:38 | |
| kavity | Hehe. | 17:38 |
| katie_j | so any thoughts on my sound problem, anyone? | 17:38 |
| wuq7362 | _VIM_: hehehe | 17:38 |
| kavity | katie_j: I never saw all your message sorry. I only read the part that said you plugged it in and got the startup sound? | 17:39 |
| wuq7362 | _VIM_: i always remove nano and install the full vim package | 17:39 |
| slasher | so thanks all, hehe need to close my progs running while it installs all this stuff | 17:39 |
| picca | what is a good gnome app in ubuntu for ripping DVDs? | 17:39 |
| Myrtti | trancefat: connect your phone to the computer with an USB cable, check that you have "PC Suite" chosen and you should get a notification bubble about a phone connection being available | 17:39 |
| trancefat | Myrtti: Ok.. thanks | 17:39 |
| igoryonya | help /msg | 17:39 |
| slasher | hope i will be back soon :D | 17:39 |
| slasher | bb | 17:39 |
| katie_j | kavity: yes, that's about it | 17:39 |
| _VIM_ | wuq7362: i dont go that far, but I do make sure i have all the VIM stuff that isnt on Ubuntu by default :D | 17:39 |
| kavity | katie_j: So what's the problem then? O-o | 17:39 |
| Jaxxon | I ran sudo apt-get install firefox & it upgraded to 3.0.5, but when I open it it's same 3.0.4 | 17:39 |
| katie_j | kavity: uhm, should it do that? | 17:40 |
| mikeshollen | Can Java be installed on 8.04 through Synaptic? | 17:40 |
| wuq7362 | _VIM_: i meant apt-get install vim (which replaces vim-tiny) | 17:40 |
| kavity | katie_j: Well, I don't know? Maybe I can't help you sorry. :P | 17:40 |
| herath | katie_j: i'd start by going to the system-->preferences-->sound menu and check if the name of your usb keyboard is shown as the selected playback device... if that's the case or change it to point to your sound card | 17:40 |
| katie_j | kavity: it's the sound you get when you log into ubuntu | 17:40 |
| kavity | OOh. | 17:40 |
| slasher | the last ubuntu version is 8.10 right? | 17:40 |
| kavity | Type lsusb, and see if it detects it. | 17:40 |
| katie_j | herath: it's not set as the selected playback device and I turned all the sounds off | 17:41 |

| slasher | shit so i ll need a new update after this one (7.10 -> 8.04) | 17:41 |
| katie_j | herath: it doesn't do it through the keyboard when I log in, only when I turn the keyboard on | 17:41 |

| jero | slasher - never upgrade if your system runs fine. just a waste of time | 17:42 |
| gordonjcp | katie_j: what kind of keyboard? | 17:42 |
| Myrtti | jero: ehhh... | 17:42 |
| slasher | too late | 17:42 |
| slasher | :/ | 17:42 |
| katie_j | gordonjcp: novation xiosynth | 17:43 |
| jero | everyone is so upgrade happy those days | 17:43 |
| slasher | why a waste of time? | 17:43 |
| gordonjcp | katie_j: ah, I've got one of those, and had exactly that problem | 17:43 |
| gordonjcp | katie_j: didn't get an answer, though | 17:43 |
| gordonjcp | katie_j: you might have more success | 17:43 |
| Myrtti | jero: even if the lifespan of the release is running out? you have a weird way of thinking about upgrade | 17:43 |
| slasher | i want to have the last stuff and security upgrades | 17:44 |
| churl | so was there ever a GUI made for configuring mouse button mapping? | 17:44 |
| slasher | even if ubuntu is not a target of hackers | 17:44 |
| jero | Myrtti, even then, if there is no new features you need of the newer version, then what is the point? | 17:44 |
| ekoma | Hello everyone! Im new here and this is my first time running Linux :) | 17:44 |
| Myrtti | jero: security updates | 17:44 |
| _VIM_ | !yay | ekoma | 17:44 |
| ubottu | ekoma: Glad you made it! :-) | 17:44 |
| Myrtti | jero: if a release has reached EOL, then you wont be getting security updates. | 17:45 |
| ekoma | Thank you! :D | 17:45 |
| katie_j | gordonjcp: what did you do about it? | 17:46 |
| ekoma | So im reading the documentation pages to learn about Ubuntu and linux in general. Do you have any tips for where to move on next? | 17:46 |
| gordonjcp | ekoma: play with it | 17:46 |
| churl | ekoma: dont listen when people tell you to rtfm | 17:47 |
| _VIM_ | yep, you'll only retain about 20% just reading anything, you have to get your hands dirty and just experiment with Linux... | 17:47 |
| gordonjcp | katie_j: didn't solve it, really, I deafened myself and my neighbours a few times before I ended up rm -rf'ing the directory with all the sounds | 17:47 |
| rainofkayos | ekoma: i think actually running it and using it is the best way to learn | 17:47 |
| gordonjcp | katie_j: I never use them anyway | 17:47 |

| uman_ | Hi guys. My mobo got fried so i transferred my hdds to another pc. (my old pc had an nvidia gfx card with nvidia dfrivers, this new pc only has onboard graphics from ATI, with ati drivers now) Unfortunately this new box with ubuntu 8.10 does not receognize my usb cable modem.. it does not even show if i use the lsusb command. What could the problem be, are there any usb drivers i can uninstall/reinstall/install or go down to another kernel. Ps, other usb | 18:55 |
| uman_ | devices (mouse, flash drives, ipod) work fine.. Thanks. Im really lost here . Also, i get an error with the network interface eth2 which used to be my cablemodem, it says SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such device when i click a network icon on the taskbar. thanks | 18:55 |
| drash | dayo_: plenty of options, but http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/05/22/easily-convert-videos-with-winff-and-ffmpeg/ might be of interest | 18:57 |
| kjell | Silenx: A good ol' restart did it. | 18:57 |
| Silenx | :) | 18:57 |
| jbuncher | _2 : I'm not sure, actually. I just remember there being a setting somewhere. That seems like it could be it though. *googles* | 18:57 |
| Silenx | kjell, it rocks | 18:58 |
| Archonian | can i install the ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64 version on an intel system ? | 18:58 |
| jbuncher | _2 : the info I found says that the swappiness is set in /etc/sysctl.conf, with "vm.swappiness = numberbetween0and100" | 19:00 |
| raheem | Archonian, if your system is 64 bit, yes | 19:00 |
| jbuncher | Archonian: If it's a 64-bit processor like the Core 2's or Core i7's, then yes | 19:00 |
| jbuncher | jbuncher: not if it's an itanium processor though | 19:00 |
| Archonian | ok, good... I'm using a 64-bit system, right now, I'm using 64 bit Vista and I want to install linux so I guess the ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64 is the one i want | 19:01 |
| Silenx | Archonian, amd64 means all x86_64 processor based | 19:01 |
| Archonian | i'm using intel core 2 duo 3 GHz E8400 processor | 19:01 |
| Archonian | Silenx: OK, I was afraid it was only for AMD processors | 19:02 |
| mac9416 | Hey, ya'll! Where does apt-get/Synaptic cache downloaded debs? | 19:02 |
| jbuncher | Archonian: that should do it then, the amd64 should work (can always just try a livecd and see if it does anyway!) | 19:02 |
| Pici | mac9416: /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 19:02 |

| jbuncher | Are there any kernel devs in here that could help me troubleshoot intel wireless connectivity?

| mac9416 | Pici: How long will those files stay there? | 19:04 |
| mac9416 | Pici: Til reboot? | 19:04 |
| Pici | mac9416: Until you `apt-get clean` them | 19:04 |
| jbuncher | mac9416: I think there's a cron job that cleans out ones that are older than 30 days or so, but you can run "apt-get clean" to manually remove them | 19:04 |
| Archonian | how's ubuntu with drivers, is it good at automatically finding drivers for hardware, or it doesn't do that? | 19:05 |
| mac9416 | Pici, jbuncher: Okee-Dokee! Thanks! | 19:05 |

| jacksonhyde | My USB keyboard won't work. | 19:07 |
| velko | tuna-fish, "sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/sdc" if you are sure that the whole drive (as opposed to single partition) is occupied by the file system. else you have to use "/dev/sdc1" instead | 19:07 |
| TuxSympathiser | I need some help please | 19:07 |
| ConstantineXVI | Does Evolution support SyncML, like what Google Sync uses now? | 19:07 |
| letalis | jacksonhyde: man if the enter key is screwed that could be a problem | 19:08 |
| jacksonhyde | tell me about it :/ | 19:08 |
| letalis | is it totally hosed or does it look repairable? | 19:08 |
| jacksonhyde | It just doesn't work. | 19:08 |
| drash | jacksonhyde: did you try tabbing around and hitting the spacebar to 'enter' yet ? | 19:08 |
| tuna-fish | jbuncher, velko: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem | 19:08 |
| ^hashbang^ | jacksonhyde: might be time to look into a new keyboard for that laptop, or a new used laptop... or an acer one laptop | 19:08 |
| jacksonhyde | It looks good from the top, but pressing gets nothing. | 19:08 |
| jacksonhyde | yeah, tabbing and spacebar don't work. | 19:08 |
| letalis | sounds liek the sensor in the key has died :/ | 19:09 |
| tuna-fish | jbuncher, velko: trying the alternate superblock doesn't seem to help | 19:09 |
| jacksonhyde | If I had a PS2 keyboard I think it might work, I don't think the bios can read USB keyboards... | 19:09 |
| letalis | short of rpelacing the keyboard in it theres probably nothing one could do to fix that. | 19:09 |
| rainofkayos | depending on the type pf board u may be able to pop the cap on the enter key and clean the contacts...but preferably | 19:09 |
| rainofkayos | u should replace the keyboard | 19:09 |
| jacksonhyde | yeah, not many places selling keyboards for five year old laptops at 7:00pm unfortunately. :( | 19:09 |
| === BfrOv3rfl0w_ is now known as BfrOv3rfl0w | ||

| velko | tuna-fish, if you have important data on this drive the first step should be to make a copy of it with dd and try to repair the copy | 19:10 |
| rainofkayos | oops this is a lptop? | 19:10 |
| jacksonhyde | yeah | 19:10 |
| rainofkayos | srry | 19:10 |
| jacksonhyde | np | 19:10 |

| evoke | hello | 19:10 |
| Archonian | hashbang: OK good to know | 19:10 |
| jacksonhyde | I've tried plugging a USB laptop in, but it doesn't register. | 19:10 |
| rainofkayos | needs to be shop repaired in this case if the key is truly shot | 19:10 |
| jacksonhyde | I figured. | 19:10 |
| rainofkayos | hmm check bios for that option.. | 19:10 |
| evoke | does anyone know what you can do on a ubuntu 8.04 server without being root | 19:10 |
| rainofkayos | u may need to disable something to use a usb keyboard | 19:10 |
| jacksonhyde | yeah, nothing in the bios, and I couldn't change any values even if I found it. :/ | 19:11 |
| letalis | the keyboard in a laptop can be replaced but its a lot harder to find them and you for certain got to go throught the manucaturer for it :/ | 19:11 |
| rainofkayos | grr. | 19:11 |
| evoke | does seem much regarding installing software | 19:11 |
| rainofkayos | yep it's a shop visit for sure | 19:11 |
| jacksonhyde | it's got XP on it at the moment, I might try remapping the keys and then doing a clean install of XP> | 19:11 |
| DIFH-iceroot | evoke: everything if the user can use sudo | 19:11 |
| Archonian | i'm using Windows Vista on one harddrive, with one C: drive (Vista installation) and another E: (unallocated space)... do i want to keep the unallocated space unallocated when booting with the ubuntu cd? | 19:11 |
| rainofkayos | maybe | 19:11 |
| evoke | no sudo | 19:11 |
| evoke | damn | 19:11 |
| evoke | well not at the moment | 19:11 |
| jacksonhyde | if you remap the enter key, will it change it in the bios or is it a process that has to boot up? | 19:12 |
| jbuncher | evoke: You have to be root (or have sudo'd to elevate your priviledges) in order to install/remove software. | 19:12 |

| rainofkayos | the hosts file under /etc/ | 19:12 |

| letalis | and man are they fancy. | 19:13 |

| edmondscommerce | ah ok thanks | 19:13 |
| kavity | Anyone able to help me get my onboard microphone to record? | 19:13 |
| jacksonhyde | yeah, I got two USB ones, but no PS2 ones. | 19:13 |
| drash | AJC_Z0: some of these options are configurable via nautilus > edit > preferences i believe | 19:13 |
| jbuncher | Archonian, I don't think I understand the question. Are you planning to install ot that space? | 19:13 |
| rainofkayos | kavity: have you checked ur input levels? | 19:13 |
| kavity | Yes. | 19:13 |
| Archonian | jbuncher: on the E:, the unallocated space yes, I want to put ubuntu there | 19:13 |
| jbuncher | letalis: It's a good thing they're fancy too, imagine how ruined your table would get if that wasn't an "authentic" microsoft coaster! They're really just protecting you..... | 19:14 |
| Archonian | jbuncher: it's about 20GB | 19:14 |
| rainofkayos | is the device recognized when plugging in and out of the port? (tail messages?) | 19:14 |
| kavity | Though, it's telling me to check my input device, but everything in audacity is set correctly, as are the settings in alsamixer. | 19:14 |
| raheem | to save the settings in bios, most bios use a short cut of f10, try urs supports it. if it does, then u can enable usb support in bios, save it by f10 .. not sure though | 19:14 |
| rainofkayos | hmm | 19:14 |
| letalis | yes | 19:14 |
| letalis | praise the EULA | 19:14 |
| letalis | LOL | 19:14 |
| jbuncher | Archonian: You'll also need space for a swap partition, so you might need to re-partition that part. As for the livecd though, it will boot to the OS without having to modify your drives. | 19:15 |
| jacksonhyde | well, I can install XP using the mouse, but it sure as hell at Ubuntu :( | 19:15 |
| rainofkayos | i would check a setup manual in this case and just work my way through the steps again kavity | 19:15 |
| raheem | jacksonhyde, to save the settings in bios, most bios use a short cut of f10, try urs supports it. if it does, then u can enable usb support in bios, save it by f10 .. not sure though | 19:15 |
| rainofkayos | yep raheem | 19:15 |
| kavity | Yeah, I'll figure it out eventually. | 19:15 |
| jacksonhyde | yeah, tried that. problem is my bios uses the enter key to toggle settings. | 19:16 |
| rainofkayos | lol | 19:16 |
| rainofkayos | thats horrible | 19:16 |
| Archonian | jbuncher: but the ubuntu install cd can repartition this space for me, and create the swap partition? how big should that swap partition be? | 19:16 |
| AJC_Z0 | drash: Thank you. Looking in the "Media" tab I see a drop down for the (common) media types, but no way to add to the (empty) lists of apps | 19:16 |
| jacksonhyde | yup | 19:16 |
| skeebo | Would anyone know of a good website to see reviews of mmorpgs for linux? Or at least a list of decent mmos? | 19:16 |

| raheem | jacksonhyde, try pagedown/pageup keys .. | 19:16 |
| jacksonhyde | yeah, they just scroll through the options. | 19:16 |
| jbuncher | Archonian: Yes, the livecd has a partitioner that can be used to do that. How much ram do you have? | 19:16 |
| jacksonhyde | I've tried every key on there. Nada. | 19:16 |
| rainofkayos | how about tabbing out? | 19:16 |

| _2 | ok swap is not working. | 19:20 |
| jbuncher | Archonian: I usually go with ~1GB over the RAM I have. The reason is that if you want to hibernate (so computer is using zero power), the swap space is where the OS dumps all of your RAM. So, if you're using all 8GB of ram and you want to hibernate, then you need 8GB free in your swap. If you don't intend to hibernate (if it's a desktop and you just power off), you could probably get by with very little swap (512MB) due to the huge am | 19:20 |
| jbuncher | ount of ram you have. | 19:20 |

| skeebo | Hello, I have a Windows XP vm running under vmware, with vmware tools installed. And I came up with the idea to use it to sync my ipod touch 2g (since there is no jailbreak) does anyone know if this is a good idea? or if I could run into problems doing it this way? | 19:20 |
| jacksonhyde | skeebo: shouldn't be a problem. | 19:21 |
| rainofkayos | no no problems... maybe latency | 19:21 |
| ali1234 | 20GB / is reasonable though, if you have /home somewhere else | 19:21 |
| jacksonhyde | Might take longer to transfer the files, but apart from that it's party time., | 19:21 |
| jbuncher | skeebo: USB devices under vmware can be iffy in my experience. | 19:21 |
| rainofkayos | and the vm will have control of the USB port for the duration of the sync | 19:21 |

| kavity | jacksonhyde: I use the madwifi driver, but I don't have that card. | 19:27 |
| jacksonhyde | On the madwifi site it says it runs on 7.10 (downloading as we speak...), but I'd love to use Ibex. | 19:27 |

| jagggy | Hello all, I constantly get this error when installing anything with ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/d4d8c3d72 anyone has an idea off how to fix it? | 19:28 |
| kavity | jacksonhyde: The reason I stopped using ubuntu to go to another distro was because ibex wouldn't use my atheros(runs on madwifi) card, and I got annoyed, but this install it works fine, same laptop(just a few months later) | 19:28 |
| jacksonhyde | weird... | 19:28 |
| jacksonhyde | I dunno how much gyp I get from my missus if I installed Linux on her laptop though... | 19:28 |
| jacksonhyde | she gets annoyed when I tell her to boot up Firefox on my mac. :) | 19:29 |

| jacksonhyde | She says "Where's the internet?" (looking for a small ugly blue 'e' icon... | 19:29 |
| ali1234 | madwifi is depreciated, there's a newer atheros driver which is "more open" or something so everyone works on that now | 19:29 |

| uman1 | Hi guys. My mobo got fried so i transferred my hdds to another pc. (my old pc had an nvidia gfx card with nvidia dfrivers, this new pc only has onboard graphics from ATI, with ati drivers now) Unfortunately this new box with ubuntu 8.10 does not receognize my usb cable modem.. it does not even show if i use the lsusb command. What could the problem be, are there any usb drivers i can uninstall/reinstall/install or go down to another kernel. Ps, other usb | 19:29 |
| raheem | jacksonhyde, change the icon then :P | 19:29 |
| uman1 | devices (mouse, flash drives, ipod) work fine.. Thanks. Im really lost here . Also, i get an error with the network interface eth2 which used to be my cablemodem, it says SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such device when i click a network icon on the taskbar. thanks | 19:30 |
| sheena1 | vigo, nope, but I've figured out that I don't think it disabled anything, maybe just changed my colour settings? | 19:30 |
| Ego86 | ^hashbang^, i saw throug that link what you gave, but i don't find any instructions, what can i do when liveCD not works | 19:30 |
| ^hashbang^ | quentusrex: when your fingers get tired of typing =) | 19:30 |
| letalis | quentusrex: you mean just a basic login password? | 19:30 |
| quentusrex | letalis: yes. | 19:30 |
| Ego86 | how can i install from liveCD if it don't starts | 19:30 |
| Ego86 | ? | 19:30 |
| jagggy | Hello all, I constantly get this error when installing anything with ubuntu's apt-get function: http://pastebin.com/d4d8c3d72 anyone has an idea off how to fix it? | 19:30 |
| ali1234 | it's still the same site (madwifi) it might still be called madwifi... but just beware that there is a "new" and an "old" driver... you probably want the new one | 19:30 |
| vigo | sheena1: Yes, you could reboot and restore it, that is a fast workaround | 19:30 |
| ^hashbang^ | Ego86: it's very likely that the drivers won't work with the live cd because the card is newer the the livecd kernel being used. | 19:30 |
| sheena1 | vigo, i mostly would just like to know what exactly i did, cause it did fix the issue (little black dashes on my screen), but it also changed my colours | 19:30 |
| sheena1 | vigo, so a reboot will bring my orange back? it's all blue now.. | 19:31 |
| _2 | jacksonhyde you mean that ugly blue meant internet ? i thought it meant error </pfft> | 19:31 |
| _2 | ugly blue E | 19:31 |
| vigo | sheena1: Reboot and look at the options, one is Restore. | 19:31 |
| letalis | quentusrex: well i know mine has over 20 characters in it with spaces. | 19:31 |
| sheena1 | vigo, i don't think i've ever seen that option, where exactly do i look? | 19:31 |
| blutrille | ^hashbang^: I have been using the LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch - Commuinty Ubuntu Documentation, the command line it gives to create the iso is considerably longer and does not work | 19:31 |
| jacksonhyde | _2 yeah...Internet Exploder is the bane of my existence. | 19:31 |

| ^hashbang^ | blutrille: did you try: mkisofs -r -o your.iso /your_dir/ | 19:35 |
| sheena1 | vigo, thanks. i gotta run, but i'll try and figure out the restore thing later. thanks again.. I was shocked when it came back all blue.. i won't do things that i don't understand anymore! | 19:35 |
| ali1234 | _2: what makes you think it is the OOMK? | 19:35 |
| _2 | ali1234 cause that's what the message is in the console at the time :) | 19:36 |
| Archonian | jbuncher: i'll try and install it in a moment | 19:36 |
| letalis | quentusrex: accordingingo th linuxforums.com, the max length on passwords is determined by the encryption scheme used. | 19:36 |
| blutrille | ^hashbang^:in the doc is listed a much longer version of that yes, i am not sure if the long version is ness? | 19:36 |
| quentusrex | letalis: so what is the ubuntu default encryption scheme? | 19:36 |
| mgolisch | _2: dont make it useup all memmory? | 19:36 |
| letalis | longer ones you need to use DES or blowfish encryption | 19:36 |
| ali1234 | _2: uh hu... and how big is the png file? | 19:36 |
| _2 | ali1234 umm 104m | 19:37 |
| ^hashbang^ | blutrille: try the shorter version. unless ofcourse you will need this cd to boot (which if it's a live cd I would think so). | 19:37 |
| jagggy | Hello all, I constantly get this error when installing anything with ubuntu's apt-get function: http://pastebin.com/d4d8c3d72 anyone has an idea off how to fix it?? | 19:37 |
| ali1234 | _2: what dimensions? | 19:37 |
| letalis | i know that mine is almost 20 chars in length so id say ubuntu by default uses blowfish or des | 19:37 |
| _2 | mgolisch i'm not. it has lots of swap free. | 19:37 |
| _2 | ali1234 idk | 19:37 |
| blutrille | ^hashbang^:yes this cd does need to boot | 19:37 |
| ali1234 | _2: well png is compressed... uncompressed in memory it could easily be 2GB + | 19:38 |

The networking works just great except that every few seconds ago I will massive lag spikes and then it will return to normal. There are no processes to be seen with Top that are causing this so I'm really confused. I know that Vista had a problem where the adapter would constantly try to queue all the networks in the area and that would cause a similar problem. | 19:39 |
| ali1234 | _2: so what size is it? | 19:39 |

| mandrig | jagggy: Rhythmbox loads devices fairly well... | 19:40 |
| jagggy | mandrig, it says the music is on my ipod, but when I check my ipod, it hasn't gotten any songs (that's rhytmebox) | 19:40 |
| mgolisch | it probably tries to allocate so much memory that the kernel couldnt statisfy that in time, thus calling the oomk routine or something | 19:41 |
| cousteau | just found an option on Synaptic to make a list of installed packages, but is it possible to "markauto" those that have been automatically installed? | 19:41 |

| canhnm | I can't install driver for ATI HD Radeon 3200 in ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, anybody help me, please??? | 19:42 |
| _2 | ali1234 yeah it would be about the same size as a 4m jpg file. | 19:42 |
| mgolisch | _2: probaly the programm still access the data for the first png thus its not swapped out, or you set some strange swapiness value or something and thats why it doesnt swap | 19:42 |
| ali1234 | _2: without compression it would be about 5000x5000 | 19:42 |
| vigo | sheena1: That page says all down it, Please Reboot, so I am guessing that is the solution. | 19:43 |

| _2 | ali1234 so. what's your point ? | 19:43 |
| DasEi | canhnm: prop. drivers from ati are hard with that, try vesa or free radeon driver , xorg7.4. is the issue there | 19:43 |
| ali1234 | _2: when you load a 100mb png into an image editor it will be significantly larger in memory than on disk due to being compressed | 19:44 |

| _2 | ali1234 and ? | 19:44 |
| |newbie| | but my disk is IDE | 19:44 |
| mgolisch | _2: i still think its a problem of allocation that much space at once, the kernel probably cant statisfy that and thats why the oomk routine is called, get more ram srsly | 19:44 |
| ldlework | Hi, I have a dell studio 15 with the broadcom wireless adapter.

| oCean_ | TopKatz: what do you mean? You want to move/copy files into the /var/www ? | 19:51 |
| TopKatz | and I need to get into a group that owns it | 19:51 |
| isase | TopKatz: you have to change the permissions as root, use sudo chown | 19:51 |
| TopKatz | yes | 19:51 |
| Slart | TopKatz: I don't think you're supposed to do your webstuff there.. iirc you're supposed to create a new configuration with a new folder or something.. have you read the apache docs? | 19:51 |
| TopKatz | use svn | 19:51 |
| mgolisch | TopKatz: its owned by www-data usualy on debian systems | 19:51 |
| TopKatz | all that | 19:52 |
| FloodBot1 | TopKatz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:52 |
| ^hashbang^ | bluetrille: yes... you would place say mycd.iso as the name for $IMAGE_NAME | 19:52 |
| isase | chown to www-data, then change the permissions accordingly | 19:52 |
| ali1234 | _2: and what happens if you try to open the second image first? | 19:52 |
| canhnm | DasEi : http://paste.ubuntu.com/116170/ here it's my xorg.conf | 19:52 |
| TopKatz | mgolisch - so how do I get into that group? | 19:52 |
| ^hashbang^ | bluetrille: "$THINGS_LIKE_THIS" are often just a place older or example | 19:52 |
| _2 | ali1234 i have several images (scaned from printer) which image and what order doesn't matter. | 19:52 |
| _2 | ali1234 same results for all of them. | 19:53 |
| canhnm | DasEi : Everytime when I try to use ati driver, after install and reboot the monitor is black | 19:53 |

| Aggrav8d | hi, #ubuntu. Where would I go to ask for help in de-zombifying my XP machine? | 19:53 |
| Slart | Aggrav8d: ##windows perhaps | 19:53 |
| Slart | !windows | Aggrav8d | 19:54 |
| canhnm | DasEi : The same problem with EnvyNG | 19:54 |
| ^hashbang^ | canham: try adding this: export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 to ~/.gnomerc fixed my issue =) | 19:54 |
| Aggrav8d | Slart - thanks. | 19:54 |
| ubottu | Aggrav8d: For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 19:54 |
| TopKatz | oCean_ that wont help when using svn | 19:54 |
| TopKatz | my user should be in the group that owns the folder | 19:54 |
| oCean_ | TopKatz: if that is what you want, use usermod command: | 19:55 |
| _2 | ali1234 anyway i'll use debian to do this, ubuntu is too much trouble right now. thanks for the feedback. | 19:55 |
| mandrig | why does the windows channel have 2 #'s in the name...? | 19:55 |
| blutrille | ^hashbang^:ok i will try this ... i appologies for being a noob ;) ... im hoping that this is not alwasy the case | 19:55 |
| ali1234 | _2: what's the exact error message from kolorpaint? | 19:55 |
| oCean_ | TopKatz: to change primary group use "usermod -g" , to add user to other groups use "usermod -G" | 19:55 |
| DasEi | canhnm: envyng tries to install prop.driver, that won't work, also your monitor section looks a little scary to me; sure the bus identifier of pci for the card is right ? did you install xorg-driver-fglrx ? | 19:55 |
| _2 | mandrig two hash marks indicate a non-official channel. | 19:55 |
| ^hashbang^ | bletrille: no don't be sorry. your just going threw the process of learning =) we all have to =) | 19:56 |
| mandrig | _2: got it, thanks | 19:56 |
| _2 | ali1234 no error message at all. just closes the window | 19:56 |
| canhnm | DesEi : yes, I installed xorg-driver-fglrx | 19:56 |
| _2 | mandrig for more info visit http://www.freenode.org | 19:56 |

| canhnm | DasEi : When I type fglrxinfo the error message is http://paste.ubuntu.com/116173/ | 19:59 |
| |newbie| | |newbie|: IDE and SATA | 19:59 |
| ^hashbang^ | vjr: I've been using both 32bit and 64bit 8.04, 8.10, and now 9.04 and I don't have issues with firefox or flash... | 19:59 |
| DasEi | canhnm: I used a 9600 once and now find two different infos about 9200; on saying fglry does work, other say not; maybe try vesa, too : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI, or think of 8.04, it's less hasasle with that | 20:00 |
| |newbie| | stefg: but Ubuntu is on IDE | 20:00 |
| |newbie| | stefg: and Debian too | 20:00 |

| ^hashbang^ | vjr: naw, I don't use pulseaudio... | 20:02 |
| stefg | |newbie|: seems that you have a complex disk setup. you should rather try a standard desktop install from CD | 20:02 |
| canhnm | DasEi : With U 8.04 my resolution is still 800x600 | 20:02 |
| _moro_bana_ | how do i see if my wifi card is working? | 20:02 |

| |newbie| | stefg: i have installed....but kernel step failed | 20:02 |
| vjr | later! | 20:02 |
| ^hashbang^ | vjr: lol ok | 20:02 |
| ^hashbang^ | devil: that's doesn't explain anything... like what happens when you try to install it | 20:03 |
| stefg | |newbie|: probably the initrd doesn't contain the right modules, so it can't find the root fs | 20:03 |
| ^hashbang^ | devil: are you installing from source or from apt-get? | 20:03 |
| DasEi | canhnm:the prop. driver installs easily, for the monitor-section you can use display-config-gtk | 20:04 |
| |newbie| | stefg: man...Debian works fine on that disk | 20:04 |
| ^hashbang^ | devil: try doing sudo apt-get install seamonkey | 20:04 |
| devil | okie | 20:04 |
| canhnm | DasEi : Yes, but I want more performance because when I view video the image is not smooth | 20:05 |
| stefg | |newbie|: that still doesn't mean that you have a ubuntu initrd with all the right modules... there is some differences betwenn Debian and Ubuntu, especially in the startup procedure | 20:05 |
| stefg | !install | |newbie| | 20:06 |
| ubottu | |newbie|: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| jeancalvin | is ubuntuforums down? | 20:08 |
| devil | wtf is rpm?? | 20:08 |
| jeancalvin | I need to be able to track when a website adds a phrase onto one of its pages, the home page. The thing is, the phrase (e.g. Hello World) is already on the page. So I need to be able to receive an alert when an ADDITIONAL copy of the phrase is added to the page. How can I do this? | 20:08 |
| _VIM_ | they were down for me earlier as well jeancalvin | 20:08 |
| stefg | ... no scratch that... you have Sata on the machine... doesn't apply , |newbie| | 20:08 |
| mandrig | devil: rpm is a type of installable package, like .deb | 20:09 |

| fozzy_the_bear | This is with Ibex. | 20:09 |
| DasEi | canhnm:just checked ati HP, its saying no supportz below radeon 9500 | 20:09 |
| stefg | |newbie|: what does sudo fdisk -l give you? (use pastebin, see /topic) | 20:10 |
| mandrig | devil, source is generally 'better' as .rpm isn't native to ubuntu. If you can get a .deb though, as they install really easily. | 20:10 |
| canhnm | DasEi : In "System-Administrator-Hardware drivers" there is "ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers. But if I try to enable it and reboot after the monitor it's blank with black color | 20:10 |
| ^hashbang^ | linduxed: how old is this system? | 20:10 |
| devil | yeah .deb is simple....but binaries are complicated for me | 20:10 |
| canhnm | DasEi : You meant that my graphic card is not supported ? | 20:10 |
| devil | primarily cuz im new to linux | 20:11 |
| drash | fozzy_the_bear: try starting vlc and totem-xine from terminal, that should give you a look at errors .. | 20:11 |

| letalis | Frantic: what are you actually trying to do? | 20:23 |
| letalis | convert one format to another? | 20:24 |
| fozzy_the_bear | I'd listen to the other guy and use audacity. It's all point and click | 20:24 |

| sahak | I would like to be able to install Ubuntu 9.04 into a file on my current Ubuntu 8.10 installation. I don't want to repartition my hard drive for Ubuntu 9.04. Basically I want Wubi functionality, but I don't have Windows. Is it possible to do Wubi under Linux? | 20:25 |
| Frantic | letalis: ok, but how do I take input form my mic? :) | 20:25 |
| letalis | so long as ffmpeg has all the codecs necessary compiled into it that usually works. | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | deany: firefox INSISTS on having some gnome deps for some unexplicable reason | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | deany: try opera | 20:25 |
| DasEi | canhnm: save xorg, then : ctrl+alt+backspace (logs you off, too) | 20:25 |

| stefg | !virtualization | sahak | 20:25 |
| ubottu | sahak: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 20:25 |

| letalis | audacity will do it as well | 20:26 |
| Jewbacca | ^hashbang^: it just download it all over again | 20:26 |
| Jewbacca | ^hashbang^: i want to resume it | 20:26 |
| sahak | stefg: not really, I need it to run on my hardware. I don't want virtual machine. I need to check how my hardware works. | 20:26 |
| DasEi | canhnm: else run cmd again | 20:26 |

| letalis | ardour is a multi track recording suite geared towards music professionals | 20:26 |
| sahak | stefg: I want to be able to run it not in a virtual machine. | 20:26 |
| Georg | hello | 20:26 |
| stefg | sahak: you could use a loop-file... | 20:26 |
| fader | sahak: if it's just for testing, you could boot off of the CD and try it out that way | 20:26 |
| Jewbacca | ^hashbang^: but i have a 4gb file on my computer, there must be a way | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip | bazyl: is it an Ubuntu DVD? | 20:26 |
| fozzy_the_bear | yikes, I think I just roached my Xconfig. Getting DVD playback to work is proving to be a supreme hassle. Sigh... | 20:26 |

| ActionParsnip | bazyl: what sort of DVD is it? | 20:27 |
| jp_sf | _VIM_: ok, now as you stated that ubuntuforum is slow for you I was thinking maybe it was your connection or I would have suggested to change the http.pipeline options in Firefox | 20:27 |

| ^hashbang^ | Georg: try | 20:29 |

| G-Bleezy | carpeliam|pidgin: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:35 |
| blizzle | Oni: The advantages are three fold. One, Ubuntu is highly focussed on the desktop user. 2) Ubuntu has a healthy community. 3) Ubuntu will always be free. Oh, and 4) Ubuntu release predictably every 6 months. (And you can easily upgrade versions). | 20:35 |
| carpeliam|pidgin | Frantic: yep, the part i'm getting stuck on is (hd0,0). windows is on /dev/sdb5, how do i know which that goes on? | 20:35 |

| stefg | sahak: that can be done in ubuntu, too... it's not just that easy and requires manual setup. It would be easier to use a 4 Gig usb drive instaed of a loop file... just make some custom entries in grubs menu.lst and boot the kernel and initrd off the usb drive | 20:36 |
| jp_sf | _VIM_: with the speed of your connection I would say yes it is supposed to make multiple request and not waiting, the problem is that sometimes some http webserver don't support it, but I'm running fine since a few months | 20:36 |

| carpeliam|pidgin | G-Bleezy: you can see in the pastie that it's on a LBA partition so it's actually kind of on the first logical partition. (i think) | 20:42 |
| blizzle | ParhelicTriangle, It is. Xfce is GTk based, as is Gnome. | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | deany: theres firepup which is 32bit and doesnt have all the extra fluff, or you can use opera or kazehakase | 20:42 |

| FloodBot2 | !netsplit | 20:42 |

| SB6789 | hi intuitive. i am not 100% sure in all honesty! | 20:43 |
| ^hashbang^ | racecar56: most OS installs other than an automated kickstart install require a monitor and keyboard | 20:43 |
| G-Bleezy | carpeliam|pidgin: i'd try root (hd0,5) | 20:43 |
| racecar56 | how would i get a monitor working on a server? | 20:43 |
| jando | im trying to say that it worked fine and now it runs everything slower | 20:43 |
| G-Bleezy | that's first disk 5th partition | 20:43 |
| racecar56 | a keyboard would be easy to do | 20:44 |
| ^hashbang^ | racecar56: plug one in and reboot the server | 20:44 |
| NfNitLoop | KyleK: nope... the partition is not mounted. | 20:44 |
| G-Bleezy | guess i could look at what my grub.lst says | 20:44 |
| blizzle | racecar56, ssh and vnc is also possible if you have another system you can log in from, though I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do? | 20:44 |
| wunnymush_ | is it possible to include ubuntu in boot.ini in windows? | 20:44 |

| adi1 | sp-sf this is why i came here...in terminal "./configure" give me this error: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 21:06 |

| dmilad | perl bot1.pl | 21:08 |
| G-Blunted | adil: you gotta add some packages | 21:08 |
| adi1 | zsakr | go to add/remove and install open jdk or java | 21:08 |
| G-Blunted | adi1, i think that is happening because you don't have the right packages for the compiler to compile | 21:08 |
| pteague | shingen: um, what does that have to do with the lock on apt ? | 21:08 |
| Dartel | TY | 21:08 |

| G-Blunted | or the pgup pgdw | 21:19 |
| jeancalvin | jp_sf: is there a simpler way of sending email via commandline/terminal? | 21:19 |
| ^hashbang^ | jp_sf: doh that's right ubuntu doesn't install one by default | 21:20 |
| user_ | i use ut but nothing happend | 21:20 |
| jeancalvin | jp_sf: do you recommend that i get an MTA? What's an MTA? is it free? | 21:20 |
| ^hashbang^ | jeancalvin: true.. so install postfix too =) | 21:20 |
| quentusrex | What does this error mean? and how to I fix it? "Ekiga got an invalid value for the GConf key "/apps/ekiga/general/gconf_test_age". " | 21:20 |
| ^hashbang^ | jeancalvin: sudo apt-get install postfix | 21:20 |
| jillian | i'm using ubuntu 8.04. Do you recommend upgrading to 8.10? | 21:20 |
| jp_sf | jeancalvin: MTA Mail transfer agent it's basically a mail server to speak to other mail server | 21:20 |
| user_ | i mean i need it to scroll down in window | 21:20 |
| Guest628 | yes jillian | 21:21 |

| zsakr | and my question is if i could get usb to put the file on the pen | 21:21 |
| zsakr | ???????? | 21:21 |
| G-Blunted | quentusrex, probably means your permissions aren't right | 21:21 |
| jeancalvin | jp_sf: what's the simplest way to send email via terminal? (I already have a Gmail account, if that makes any difference) | 21:21 |
| _VIM_ | You can also do SHIFT + page up/down to scroll the terminal | 21:21 |
| jp_sf | jeancalvin: just to make sure what exactly is your need trying to acheive ? | 21:21 |
| quentusrex | G-Blunted: I want to remove gconf keys.... | 21:21 |
| quentusrex | G-Blunted: But I can't find a way to dump the keys.... | 21:21 |
| zsakr | Anyone? | 21:21 |
| hexmasta | zsakr? | 21:21 |
| nickrud_ | quentusrex, right click the key and select unset | 21:21 |
| zsakr | im downloading ubunt 8.10 becouse i need backup my hardriv | 21:21 |
| zsakr | and my question is if i could get usb to put the file on the pen | 21:22 |
| jillian | what are the benefits of upgrading...i'm new to using ubuntu | 21:22 |
| quentusrex | nickrud_: I want to remove an entire tree... | 21:22 |
| jeancalvin | jp_sf: my goal: send a few emails via terminal/commandline. I need to send some emails to myself when something on my computer triggers it. | 21:22 |
| quentusrex | nickrud_: and most of the unset commands don't remove the values.... | 21:22 |
| nickrud_ | quentusrex, gconftool --recursive-unset /path/to/folder/key | 21:22 |
| quentusrex | I have gconf-editor opened in root | 21:22 |
| ^hashbang^ | jeancalvin: I just installed postfix, set it up as an internet mail server... did mail user@mydomain.com (example only) typed in a subject and bam... it sent me mail to my gmail account | 21:22 |
| Milkeh | why is it when I start ubuntu my window manager is compiz and not metacity when I changed it in compiz icon? | 21:23 |
| nickrud_ | quentusrex, they revert to the schema values in /etc/gconf, irrc. And using gconf as root affects /root/.gconf | 21:23 |
| ^hashbang^ | jeancalvin: during the postfix install it will prompt you to setup postfix, just pick internet host | 21:23 |
| jeancalvin | jp_sf: i'm using specto to change a web page for changes. with specto rc3.1, you can enter a command when specto finds a change to a page. | 21:23 |
| jp_sf | jeancalvin: ok, depends of the scale, usually in operations you will install Postfix or sendmail, for a very very basic usage I would use msmtp | 21:23 |
| G-Blunted | quentusrex, gconf-edit....you gotta remove them one at a time | 21:23 |
| jeancalvin | jp_sf: yes, this is for very very very very basic usage. | 21:23 |
| jeancalvin | should i download msmtp? | 21:23 |
| ^hashbang^ | jp_sf: postfix isn't that bloated... | 21:23 |
| Milkeh | how do I set metacity as my defalt window manager? | 21:24 |
| jeancalvin | i've already downloaded postfix, jp_sf | 21:24 |
| ^hashbang^ | jp_sf: plus the setup is very easy (for new users anyway) | 21:24 |
| jp_sf | jeancalvin: so if it is not a production site or anything like I would suggest msmtp | 21:24 |
| guntbert | ^hashbang^: are you sure you didn't create another open mail relay? | 21:24 |
| nickrud_ | quentusrex, for example, gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel will cause your panels to be reset to the defaults set in /etc/gconf | 21:24 |
| Omoikane | ^hashbang 1366X768 is the TV | 21:24 |
| ^hashbang^ | guntbert: yes.. i'm behind a firewall =0 | 21:24 |
| jeancalvin | ^hashbang^: in postfix config, do i choose "internet site", "internet wih smarthost", "satellite system" or "no config"? | 21:24 |
| ^hashbang^ | Omoikane: ok cool, it should work then =) | 21:25 |
| kop_ | so I dl to a .gvfs mount on a remote box on the lan from a bittorrent client and I have to keep the folder open as well as refresh the permissions to the target folder every hr or so and even then every 12 hrs or so the .gvfs mount disappears , the torrent client responds with destination folder does not exist and goes zombie . there's more but... | 21:25 |
| quentusrex | nickrud_: I need to remove the whole tree... | 21:25 |
| quentusrex | and the recursive-unset won't unset them all | 21:25 |
| guntbert | ^hashbang^: ok, but doesn't necessarely apply for jeancalvin as well, I'm afraid | 21:25 |
| jp_sf | ^hashbang^: I like postfix but... well I might think this is not for jeancalvin it is my opinion and not my employers opinion, all I wrote ... | 21:25 |
| Omoikane | ^hashbang I have it hooked up but not sure what to do. Do I require additional software to use HDMI? | 21:25 |
| quentusrex | and it won't delete them either. | 21:25 |
| ^hashbang^ | jeancalvin: if you installed it via apt-get then the postfix installer would have asked you for the postfix setup type, there is no reason to exit the postfix mail.cf file by hand | 21:25 |
| guntbert | *but that | 21:25 |

| mylisto_ | anyone have any idea how to record skype video? | 21:29 |
| mylisto_ | ie...webcams? | 21:29 |
| jeancalvin | ^hashbang^: yes. need to get an alert when a webpage changes.... using it with http://specto.sourceforge.net/?go=download | 21:29 |
| nickrud_ | quentusrex, that's what --recursive-unset does; however you may not see the change because if a default exists in /etc/gconf it will revert to that | 21:29 |
| ^hashbang^ | jeancalvin: kk | 21:30 |
| ^hashbang^ | jeancalvin: so you picked "internet site" right? and now the installer is finished? | 21:30 |
| nickrud_ | quentusrex, http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/806-6878/6jfpqt2sv?a=view gives a decent overview of gcong | 21:30 |
| nickrud_ | *gconf | 21:30 |

| Frozenball | bove2, you are answering your own question already | 21:32 |
| ^hashbang^ | Omoikane: HDMI is a video format, on a laptop it's a display output... so it's likely that the resolution on your laptop is greater than what your TV can support, in which case, decrease your laptop display resolution | 21:33 |

| G-Blunted | !psybnc | 21:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about psybnc | 21:57 |
| G-Blunted | psybnc is a bouncer | 21:57 |
| G-Blunted | for irc | 21:57 |
| brianrgn | so an internet connection is basically required for any serious use of ubuntu? | 21:57 |
| G-Blunted | brianrgn, it helps for sure | 21:57 |
| G-Blunted | brianrgn, and yes....if you want to use it 'seriously' an internet connection would be good to have | 21:57 |
| bove2 | despite your help, I really can't understand why screen fonts get bigger and bigger eachtime I do a xrandr command | 21:57 |
| G-Blunted | that goes for any operating system though | 21:57 |
| G-Blunted | bove2, change your screen to default DPI's | 21:58 |
| G-Blunted | bove2, has to do with the DPI | 21:58 |
| dianewny | hi | 21:59 |

| === Guest628 is now known as trasvina | ||
| === trasvina is now known as azendal | ||
| ^hashbang^ | felizsulla: what was the program | 21:59 |
| isase | felix: it'll be in /usr/bin, and should have a laucnher for it in the "applications" menu in the gnome panel | 22:00 |
| felixsulla | Kodos | 22:00 |
| dianewny | anyone have time for a couple of dumb questions? | 22:00 |
| G-Blunted | !justask | 22:00 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:00 |
| ^hashbang^ | go for it.. | 22:01 |
| G-Blunted | all we're doing is answering dumb questions | 22:01 |
| G-Blunted | one more can't hurt too much :) | 22:01 |
| ^hashbang^ | lol G | 22:01 |
| felixsulla | Dumb is relative to knowledge :) | 22:01 |
| brianrgn | is there anyway around the connection requirments for things like ubuntu-restricted-extras?? | 22:01 |
| ^hashbang^ | there is nothing dumb about a question =) | 22:01 |
| AMPws | Hi | 22:01 |
| G-Blunted | good call | 22:01 |

| ikonia | ^hashbang^: can we give the "/me" commands a break, you and G-Blunted are making more random noise than half the channel | 22:04 |
| G-Blunted | omg i knew it | 22:04 |
| prince_jammys | felixsulla: yes, you can. does the script have to run inside a terminal? | 22:04 |
| dianewny | my fourth day of using Ubuntu | 22:04 |
| prince_jammys | felixsulla: that is, does it print output to a terminal? | 22:04 |

| ahmed | ok I have one ask | 22:05 |
| felixsulla | No its GUI alright. | 22:05 |
| ikonia | G-Blunted: I know - as I just said to ^hashbang^ your doing great helping - just keep the random comments/noise down please. | 22:05 |

| ^hashbang^ | ASrock: how about VNC? | 22:08 |
| rww | !vnc | ASrock | 22:09 |
| ubottu | ASrock: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 22:09 |
| stefg | ASrock: ubuntu has vino , a vnc-server. you'll need a vncviewer on the accessing machine | 22:09 |
| Cpudan80 | stefg: vino probably wont work | 22:09 |
| Cpudan80 | stefg: The way it is setup is very ... bad | 22:09 |

| rww | ASrock: Yes, it is. Go read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH :) | 22:10 |
| Cpudan80 | ASrock: yes, there are many VNC viewer things for windows | 22:10 |
| ASrock | how about tightvnc? | 22:10 |
| Cpudan80 | any one of them will work, I like UltraVNC's viewer personalyl | 22:10 |
| G-Blunted | RealVNC | 22:10 |
| jp_sf | ah | 22:11 |
| jochenh | Hey! Can anyone please help me? My firefox shuts down directly! | 22:11 |

| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: did you just finish installing a plugin? | 22:11 |

| ASrock | well for ultra vnc how do i go about installing it on the linux comp...is it in synaptic? | 22:12 |

| ^hashbang^ | boot_loop: ./filename | 22:13 |
| dianewny | funny now that I'm monitoring the CPU usage went down to 78% | 22:13 |
| boot_loop | hashbang: do I have to be in the directory of that file? | 22:14 |
| rww | boot_loop: ./filename if you're in the directory it's in. /path/to/file/filename if you're not. | 22:14 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: yes | 22:14 |
| ^hashbang^ | boot_loop: do a chmod +x filename to make sure you can excute it | 22:14 |
| dianewny | thanks | 22:14 |
| ^hashbang^ | hmm, not sure ... | 22:14 |
| boot_loop | it says "no such file or directory" but the file is right there | 22:14 |
| ASrock | stefg: i installed x11vnc what viewer should i install on the windows machine to control the ubuntu machine? | 22:15 |
| ^hashbang^ | boot_loop: not really you could do ./path/to/file | 22:15 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: I click on a flash vid or flash swf file | 22:15 |
| ^hashbang^ | boot_loop: or just /path/to/file without the . in front of / | 22:15 |

| ASrock | ok once i install that what will i need to do to connect? | 22:16 |
| ASrock | do i need to know my IP or what? | 22:16 |
| hatter243 | ASrock, yes, you do need to know the IP of the machien you are attempting to connect to | 22:16 |
| G-Blunted | jochenh, edit your xorg.conf and comment out compistes | 22:16 |
| G-Blunted | that will fix your problem :) | 22:16 |
| ASrock | where do i configure x11vnc? | 22:16 |
| stefg | ASrock: make sure to uninstall vino then... two vnc-servers on the same machine usually do no good. There are several vncviewers for win available. try some, use the one you like best. | 22:17 |
| ASrock | stefg: where do i uninstal vino? | 22:17 |
| boot_loop | damnit, it keeps saying no such file or directory, but the file is there! lol | 22:17 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: what are compistes? how do they look like? :) | 22:17 |
| stefg | ASrock: synaptic | 22:17 |
| rww | ASrock: For the *third* time, go read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC#x11vnc . And no, you don't need to uninstall vino first. | 22:17 |
| kansan | is there a way to 'name' certain gnome-terminal instances? or should i be using screen? | 22:17 |

| nickrud_ | kansan, you can, by creating profiles. But screen is probably simpler | 22:18 |

| G-Blunted | jochenh, edit this file: /usr/bin/firefox <--and before the last line (which is launch line) add this without the quotes: "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1" Flash is conflicting with somethinn and this should turn it off | 22:24 |

| ^hashbang^ | G-Blunted: couldn't you just place that in ~/.gnomerc | 22:25 |
| george | nef also when it prviously froze, control d made it go on..I no expert. | 22:25 |

| Deamos | Anyone feeling like tackling some Samba in Naulitis problems? :) | 22:26 |
| nefrin | I have somehow screwed up my system, and I am not quite sure how it happened or how to fix it. Here's the layout: | 22:26 |
| nefrin | The GRUB Loader no longer counts down and auto boots, but takes me to the kernel screen so I have to choose which kernel. | 22:26 |
| nefrin | One I pick the kernel and continue loading, the Usplash booting screen displays just fine, then I get a black screen with a underscore cursor in the upper left hand corner. System will hang here forever, no GDM Login, keyboard is unresponsive except for holding down CTRL+ALT+DEL for several seconds, then it will reboot. | 22:26 |
| nefrin | The recent most kernel is 2.6.24-23-rt | 22:26 |
| FloodBot2 | nefrin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:26 |
| nefrin | If I use the recovery mode kernel of the same type, I can resume normal boot and this is what I get: | 22:26 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: okay done | 22:26 |
| G-Blunted | jochenh, restart firefox and see if it works | 22:27 |
| stefg | nefrin: seems your /boot/grub/menu.lst is gone or damaged. have you run sudo update-grub (and sudo update-initramfs -u just for good measure ) ? | 22:27 |

| ^hashbang^ | Deamons: did you run sudo apt-get update link the output mentions at the bottom? | 22:38 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: thats because you have the nswrapperplugin one | 22:38 |
| nefrin | stefg ---- Ok, I'm up in LiveCD, if I try to run sudo update-grub in a terminal, it tells me there is no GRUB directory found | 22:38 |
| phoenixz | Every reboot I have a process "socket" taking up +95% of my CPU resources. the parent process is cups, and I suspect this is a print job I once accidentally sent to a print which no longer exists. How can I remove this job?? I can not find it anywhere, and killing off cups every restart isnt a solution either :) | 22:38 |
| ^hashbang^ | Rencx: in a terminal do sudo su - and then cd to the file and try removing it that way | 22:38 |
| G-Blunted | jochenh, hmm...i don't know....you don't got the compiste extension...which is the cause of this problem 90% of the time... | 22:38 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: yes, which is now making me wonder, which on the browser is really using =) | 22:39 |
| Deamos | yes I did. all packages are updated, hash | 22:39 |
| nickrud_ | ^hashbang^, you should suggest sudo -i rather than sudo su - (same results, consistent with #ubuntu policy) | 22:39 |
| Zombie_Gaz | Trying to get ansi colours to show up properly in gnome-terminal. Do I need a certain font or to set my term to something different? Anyone got any ideas? | 22:39 |
| G-Blunted | jochenh, you could try uninstalling libflash-mozplugin and instead use flashplugin-nonfree | 22:39 |
| stefg | nefrin: be aware that your installed system isn't even mounted yet... where's your system installed ? (/dev/sda1?) | 22:39 |
| ^hashbang^ | nickrud_: ah ok cool, did not know that.. sorry | 22:39 |
| ^hashbang^ | nickrud_: I'm old school.. =) | 22:40 |
| isase | Hmm. | 22:40 |
| isase | I can't get samba to work. | 22:40 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: I dont use the libflash-mozplugin.I use this one : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html | 22:40 |
| nefrin | stefg ----- I've mounted my installed hard drive with the system (/media/disk) and am in the /boot/grub folder | 22:40 |
| Deamos | welcome to the boat, isase :) | 22:40 |
| isase | I installed all the necessary packages on two Ibex machines, they're on the same workgroup | 22:40 |
| isase | Daemos: LOL | 22:41 |
| aLeSD | hi what's the name of the flash plugin ? | 22:41 |
| isase | Yet they don't see each other's shared folders. | 22:41 |
| * Deamos feels a great need to stab Samba | 22:41 | |
| jbuncher | Are there any kernel devs in here that could help me troubleshoot intel wireless connectivity? Connecting to WPA Enterprise SSID Hidden with 2.6.24-23 always fails, but with 2.6.24-22 it always succeeds. Bugreport and syslogs for failed and successful connection attempts are at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317976 . Thanks for your time! | 22:41 |
| stefg | nefrin: is there a file menu.lst ? | 22:41 |
| alaz | Deamos, most of the time its login details thats the problem. samba is a shitty protocol | 22:41 |
| isase | I even turned off DHCP and assigned static IPs (which RUINED my nice little IP table) | 22:41 |
| solexious | Hello, my sound is only coming out as a crackly, works fine in windoes, can I reinstall sound on my system? | 22:41 |
| nefrin | stefg ---- I have a menu.lst and a menu.lst~ file both same file size and day time group in that folder | 22:41 |
| alaz | Deamos, is it a windows server that you are trying to access? | 22:41 |
| G-Blunted | jochenh, i think i found it | 22:41 |
| Deamos | well, if it was login details it should be having an issue w/ Names to IPs | 22:42 |
| Deamos | Windows and Linux | 22:42 |
| stefg | nefrin: so that's /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst , right? | 22:42 |
| nefrin | stefg ---- that is correct | 22:42 |
| Coded_ | I have a box thats running 8.10 that was set up without a wifi card and was using a crossover cable to get to the wan. I took the wifi adapter out of the old machine and put it in the box im using now. iwconfig picks it up but will not connect to my wep network (the command 'sudo iwconfig ath0 essid NetName key 12345678... && sudo dhclient ath0") | 22:42 |
| stefg | nefrin: so look what's in it | 22:42 |
| Rencx | ^hashbang^: rm: cannot remove `/home/user/Videos/BPI': Is a directory | 22:42 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: that would be perfect | 22:42 |
| jp_sf | solexious: no need you could try to start alsamixer and pump up the volume | 22:42 |
| Coded_ | I can get at it using the live cd though (what Im using now) | 22:42 |
| ^hashbang^ | Rencx: try rm -rf | 22:43 |
| G-Blunted | lol actually maybe not | 22:43 |
| Rencx | ^hashbang^: i crate folders throught kino in sudo mood | 22:43 |
| diginux | quick question, just upgraded to jaunty, ping can resolve ips, but ssh and firfox cannot, any suggestions? | 22:43 |
| G-Blunted | video/flv Flash-Video flv Ja <---this is Totem | 22:43 |
| Coded_ | how can I get the packages I need and leave them on the partition for an "offline installation" ? | 22:43 |
| alaz | Coded_, what does your ifconfig print out? | 22:43 |
| G-Blunted | jochenh, try uninstalling/disabling Totem | 22:43 |
| solexious | jp_sf, it is up, when muted no sound comes out, when not muted just some crackling comes out | 22:44 |
| Guest93484 | hello | 22:44 |
| Guest93484 | i have couple of questions regarding ubuntu | 22:44 |
| Coded_ | alaz; "ifconfig ath0" shows the default mac / ipv6, but no ip or subnetting | 22:44 |
| isase | Bah, screw it. I'm just going to mount the shares using NFS. Samba blows. | 22:44 |
| Rencx | ^hashbang^: ty last one works.. what -rf do? | 22:44 |
| stefg | nefrin: do have network on the Live CD ? | 22:44 |
| nightrid3r | !ask | Guest93484 | 22:44 |
| ubottu | Guest93484: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:44 |
| G-Blunted | jochenh, the flash plugin doesn't appear to be associated with .flv though, so i wouldn't think that would be a conflict...but maybe... | 22:44 |
| george | guest they jus want you to ask them.. | 22:44 |
| nefrin | stefg -----I have wired network on Live CD | 22:44 |
| alaz | Coded_, and iwconfig? | 22:45 |
| jp_sf | solexious: could you try: alsamixer -Dhw | 22:45 |
| ^hashbang^ | Rencx: it mean to force and recursivly remove | 22:45 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: i'll try | 22:45 |
| Guest93484 | alright sorry :P | 22:45 |
| Guest93484 | well | 22:45 |
| Guest93484 | i have ubuntu on my dell mini | 22:45 |
| Guest93484 | and everytime i try to install or update packages it keeps giving me errors | 22:45 |
| prince_jammys | Guest93484: all on one line | 22:45 |
| isase | xD | 22:45 |
| isase | What errors? | 22:45 |
| stefg | nefrin: so you might connect to this channel from the Live CD, too ... makes pasting to the pastebin easier | 22:45 |
| prince_jammys | Guest93484: otherwise your question gets chopped to bits and it's hard to read | 22:45 |
| Coded_ | alaz: "sudo iwconfig" shows the essid, key (1234-1234-...) and security shows 'restricted' but I have tried setting that to open 'sudo iwconfig ath0 key open' and connecting but no response from the ap | 22:46 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: same error... | 22:46 |
| Coded_ | most of the stats: rx,tx ... are 0 | 22:46 |
| G-Blunted | what did you do? | 22:46 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: I disabled the totem plugin | 22:46 |
| Coded_ | for some reason the gui apps seem to work but not from the cli | 22:47 |
| alaz | Coded_, so iwconfig ath0 shows that its connected to the wifi but theres no ip recieved? | 22:47 |
| G-Blunted | and restarted firefox and all that? | 22:47 |
| === rww_ is now known as rww | ||
| Coded_ | alaz: i think it just shows the settings cause it shows "no associated" | 22:47 |
| Coded_ | *not associated | 22:48 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: it should be a Xserver problem | 22:48 |
| alaz | Coded_, it should be a pretty straigtforward thing to setup iwconfig. but remember that ifconfig also has to be setup in /etc/network/interfaces | 22:48 |
| anom01y | is there any way I can determine what is causing my X to crash. | 22:48 |
| alaz | anom01y, check /var/log/messages | 22:48 |
| G-Blunted | hmm, think so? | 22:49 |
| Coded_ | alaz; I've done it before on 8.04 but I'm wondering if since there was no card in during install some necessary packages are not installed | 22:49 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: yes because me-tv is crashing the same way | 22:49 |
| alaz | Coded_, what chipset does it use? | 22:49 |
| Coded_ | i wanted to find a package cd so I could do an offline type of install | 22:49 |
| carpii | is there a vnc server i can run on ubuntu., that will let me connect from windows, using remote desktop? | 22:50 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- this is nefrin up on LiveCD, never used paste bin before so not sure how, usually I just use the forums | 22:50 |
| Coded_ | Atheros, its using the restricted driver in the driver manager | 22:50 |
| G-Blunted | me-tv? | 22:50 |
| stefg | nefrin2: look in /topic | 22:50 |
| G-Blunted | what is that? | 22:50 |
| stefg | !paste | nefrin | 22:50 |
| ubottu | nefrin: 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) | 22:50 |
| alaz | Coded_, if its atheros it should work out of the box i think. isnt it compiled straight into the kernel | 22:50 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | hi guys im using a laptop with a rtl8187 driver which is having alot of problems with Ubuntu, ive read that ndiswrapper fixes this issue but ive had trouble following theguides and was wondering if anyone here who has experience would be willing to talk me thruough it | 22:50 |
| prince_jammys | anom01y: the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log might be of use | 22:50 |
| trygg | Anyone know what themes are used here? http://www.kimchikid.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/green-theme.jpg | 22:50 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash#amd64andppc | 22:50 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: "A digital television (DVB) viewer for GNOME" | 22:51 |
| Coded_ | alaz; the driver seems to be there and working 'iwlist ath0 scan' gives an accurate reading for the area | 22:51 |
| G-Blunted | hmm...crashes the same way huh>? | 22:51 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- duh, I'm an idiot... that being said, you want my whole menu.lst pasted? | 22:51 |
| rww | M3TAPHYS1CS: I have rtl8187 too, tried NDISwrapper, and it didn't really work well at all. I ended up switching to ethernet instead =/ | 22:51 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | rww: *supersadface* | 22:51 |
| stefg | nefrin2: yeah ... to pastebin. | 22:52 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: i'll try, thanks | 22:52 |
| sinmok | Hey everyone. Just a simple question. I' can browse my vista partition and view the files, folders ect. However for some reason XLXS extention files dont appear (office 07 excel documents). Is there anyway i can get it to appear? | 22:52 |
| Coded_ | is there a package that would handle the wep protocol ? | 22:52 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ----- http://paste.ubuntu.com/116222/ | 22:52 |
| stefg | k | 22:52 |
| alaz | Coded_, networkmanager is a gui | 22:52 |
| rww | M3TAPHYS1CS: Yeah, I know. What problems are you having with the regular driver? Random disconnects? | 22:52 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: "Be aware that this is pre-release software and there could be bugs." hmm could be the bug | 22:53 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | rww yes i was getting that but it evenutally prevented my from using the internet at all..i would connect fine but couldnt access firefox or irc.. | 22:53 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: lol yea | 22:53 |
| anom01y | I am looking for information on how to set up ubuntu to run multiple users properly. | 22:53 |
| Coded_ | alaz; you know what I never tried getting at it from a term I just figured it wasn't installed cause it wasn't showing up on the taskbar | 22:53 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: that what I find so odd. I have an nvidia quadro fx card, amd64 9.04 and flash working fine. | 22:53 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: so I should try the 32bit one | 22:54 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: how did you installed your flash version | 22:54 |
| anom01y | as it is now, running two users is very unstable. X crashes quite frequently and I am unable to isolate the problem | 22:54 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenH: well, at this point I think anything is worth trying =) | 22:54 |
| rww | M3TAPHYS1CS: Yeah. That's caused by a bug that's logged in both Ubuntu and the Linux Kernel's bugtrackers. Hopefully one day someone will get around to fixing it :( | 22:54 |
| anom01y | I have had this issue for years now. | 22:54 |
| stefg | nefrin2: hmmm ... looks good so far. so open a terminal and run mount -o bind /dev /media/disk/dev | 22:54 |
| eighthour | is there a good program for ubuntu for recovering data from a cd that is scratched to hell....???.... | 22:54 |
| alaz | Coded_, can install it with apt-get install networkmanager i reckon | 22:54 |
| stefg | nefrin2: sudo ! | 22:54 |
| ryanprior | anom01y: Ubuntu is pre-configured to naturally and easily handle multiple users. Is there anything specific you'd like to ask questions about? | 22:55 |
| Coded_ | alaz; with no network connection though? | 22:55 |
| Coded_ | :) | 22:55 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: how did you installed flash on your pc? | 22:55 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | rww: the sooner the better brother =( so that basically rules out all distros then? | 22:55 |
| G-Blunted | jochenh, try sudo apt-get remove flashplayer-mozilla | sudo apt-get install libflash-mozplugin and see if the different flash player still crashes firefox....if it does you can assume it's more related to X than to flash/firefox | 22:55 |
| ryanprior | eighthour: ddrecover is a good utility for that. | 22:55 |
| rww | M3TAPHYS1CS: Yeah, all the ones I've tried have had the same problem. | 22:55 |
| alaz | Coded_, probably not... it should be on the cd though. | 22:55 |
| eighthour | ryanprior, thanks.... | 22:55 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- entered the command in sudo, it just put me back to a command prompt | 22:55 |
| === irc is now known as Guest10071 | ||
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: once sec let me find the url | 22:55 |
| anom01y | ryanprior, I have two users, one runs compiz fusion, the other does not. For some reason I can't keep both users open for longer than 1/2 hour without one of them crashing and returning me to the login screen. | 22:55 |
| alaz | you tried execing networkmanager from bash | 22:55 |
| stefg | nefrin2: so it worked ... | 22:56 |
| Coded_ | alaz; not yet I assumed I didn't have it :P ill go try it now | 22:56 |
| ryanprior | anom01y: Do you mean that you're using the "Switch user" functionality? | 22:56 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- assume so, no errors | 22:56 |
| stefg | nefrin, now sudo mount -t proc none /media/disk/proc | 22:56 |
| anom01y | ryanprior, yes | 22:57 |
| anom01y | ctrl alt f7 and f9 | 22:57 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | rww: thanks for the information..maybe ill wake up tomorrow and a new drivers been released ^_^ | 22:57 |
| zmiq | hi, I have some trouble with xorg-intel driver, but found a patch that solves it. Can anyone tell me where to find instructions to apply the patch and recompile by miself? | 22:57 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ----- same as before, went straight back to command line | 22:57 |
| Guest10071 | I currently have a dell mini with ubuntu installed on it, I am not able to install any packages because of the errors i keep getting, and i am not able to install openoffice on my netbook either, does anyone know how to fix the errors that are coming up? | 22:57 |
| anom01y | but quite often I find that one of the sessions is no longer open and I always need to re-log in. I must do this 10 times a day. | 22:57 |
| sinmok | Hey everyone. Just a simple question. I' can browse my vista partition and view the files, folders ect. However for some reason XLXS extention files dont appear (office 07 excel documents). Is there anyway i can get it to appear? | 22:58 |
| stefg | nefrin2: taht's fine... we just mounted /dev and /proc to the installed system in preparation of a chroot (change root) | 22:58 |
| ryanprior | anom01y: I don't know much about how those feature work, unfortunately. Out of interest, have you tried the same thing with a different distro? | 22:58 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: I can't find the url. I installed from the adobe labs site http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html | 22:59 |
| stefg | nefrin now 'cd /media/disk' then 'chroot .' | 22:59 |
| rww | M3TAPHYS1CS: The bug report to keep an eye on is https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/182473 , by the way. There's something at the bottom of that about it maybe getting fixed soon, but it isn't the first time that's been said, so I'm not rolling out the parade yet. Hopefully, though :) | 22:59 |
| anom01y | yes I seem to get the same problem with debian | 22:59 |
| stefg | nefrin2: now 'cd /media/disk' then 'sudo chroot .' | 22:59 |
| anom01y | I have had this issue for over a year now. | 22:59 |
| anom01y | not sure if its compiz, wine, or alsa. | 22:59 |
| M3TAPHYS1CS | rww: yeah i have had a look through that before but its bookmarked now..i shall check daily =) | 22:59 |
| eighthour | ryanprior, where do i get that from....???....not in synaptic and download not showing up in google.... | 23:00 |
| anom01y | could be firefox too, or flash.. | 23:00 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: this version dont have youtube support | 23:00 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: thanks | 23:00 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- ok, I went from ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/disk$ TO root@ubuntu:/# | 23:00 |
| stefg | nefrin2: ok, now you are in your installed system | 23:01 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: np | 23:01 |
| G-Blunted | jochenh, try this one sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 23:01 |
| G-Blunted | im not sure if it has youtube support tho.. | 23:01 |
| G-Blunted | i just know it's another flash plugin :) | 23:01 |
| stefg | nefrin2: now run update-grub | 23:01 |
| anom01y | ryanprior, do you have any suggestions on how I could isolate this problem ??? I was considering removing the other user and just using one, but thats a retarded solution and doesnt do anything to prevent others from having this problem | 23:01 |
| Necrogamemaster | Hello everyone | 23:01 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: thats the flash plugin i'm using | 23:01 |
| kjell | Hello Necrogamemaster | 23:01 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: adobe flash plugin 10 for 64bit | 23:02 |
| ryanprior | anom01y: I don't understand what's going on under the hood there well enough to be helpful, unfortunately. | 23:02 |
| felixsulla | If a machine has windows on it now, can you add Ubuntu to a new partition? | 23:02 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: what flash plugin are you using? | 23:02 |
| Necrogamemaster | what are we discussing? | 23:02 |
| G-Blunted | is that non-free one the one that comes from adobe? | 23:02 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ----- results of command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/116223/ | 23:02 |
| G-Blunted | hmm lemme see | 23:02 |
| jp_sf | felixsulla: yes | 23:02 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: yes | 23:02 |
| FactTech | Question: Is this a good place to ask a network-manager question, or is there a more specialized channel? | 23:02 |
| DIFH-ice1oot | FactTech: just ask the question | 23:03 |
| felixsulla | jp_sf: How would you format the new partition? | 23:03 |
| ^hashbang^ | FactTech: this one is fine | 23:03 |
| jp_sf | !topic | Necrogamemaster | 23:03 |

| G-Blunted | File name: libflashplayer.so -> Shockwave Flash 10.0 r15... | 23:03 |
| G-Blunted | i don't know what the package is named tho...lemme see | 23:03 |
| diginux | quick question, my network works, i can ssh to an ip, and ping a hostname, but cant ssh to a hostname | 23:03 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: thats flashplugin-nonfree | 23:03 |
| jp_sf | felixsulla: usually people use a boot CD, meaning they boot from the CD and then follow the steps to install Linux, choosing to "dual-boot" with windows (if you still need it) | 23:04 |
| phoenixz | Every reboot I have a process "socket" taking up +95% of my CPU resources. the parent process is cups, and I suspect this is a print job I once accidentally sent to a print which no longer exists. How can I remove this job?? I can not find it anywhere, and killing off cups every restart isnt a solution either :) | 23:04 |
| eighthour | ryanprior, where can i get ddrecover....???.... | 23:04 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: I don't have that installed. I installed from the adobe site... so when I look in synaptic I see nofree listed but not installed | 23:04 |
| G-Blunted | ah | 23:04 |
| FactTech | Question: I have two network cards on my machine. One is connected to the internet and one to a local LAN. I'm trying to get internet connection sharing to computers on the local LAN... Network Manager sees the internet side and connects just fine via DHCP. However, the local LAN does not come up correctly when set to "shared to other computers". | 23:04 |
| stefg | nefrin2: looks good... and just for good measure we'll run dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic (not the *-rt kernel). and try to boot that then | 23:04 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: yes I did the same | 23:05 |
| ryanprior | eighthour: I can't find where using Google, and I don't know where I got my copy. Shame, because it's exactly what you're looking for. | 23:05 |
| FactTech | ifconfig shows that the interface is seen, but no IP4 address is assigned. | 23:05 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: hmmmm. *bangs head* | 23:05 |
| jp_sf | phoenixz: lprm - | 23:05 |
| FactTech | I can manually assign one, but this does not seem to result in the sharing of the internet connection. | 23:05 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: but your file name is an other? | 23:05 |
| ryanprior | eighthour: I see lots of results on Google of people talking about how great it is or how they used it, but I can't find a download link. | 23:05 |
| anom01y | ryanprior, ok I got this error message.. | 23:05 |
| anom01y | "caught signal 11: server aborting" | 23:05 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh:? the one from adobes's website? | 23:05 |
| anom01y | "xinit: connection to server lost" | 23:05 |
| eighthour | ryanprior, same here.... | 23:06 |
| FactTech | Any clues why the "shared to other computers" setting wouldn't be working? | 23:06 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: I pulled http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d21.1.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz | 23:06 |
| anom01y | that was what is displayed when I go ctrl-alt-f1 | 23:06 |
| anom01y | (which is the session I am using for the second user, which just crashed). | 23:06 |

| nefrin2 | stefg ---- ran the dpkg http://paste.ubuntu.com/116232/ --- when I reboot, I am guesing that I will want to chose the 2.6.24.23-generic kernel to boot with? | 23:06 |
| phoenixz | jp_sf: socket is still there.. | 23:06 |
| jp_sf | phoenixz: your cupsd is running ? what top is stating ? | 23:07 |
| trygg | Where is the grub file located if you boot from the hdd? | 23:07 |
| stefg | nefrin2: yup... but first we're going to rewrite the mbr | 23:07 |
| phoenixz | jp_sf: just restarted cups, did lprm -, top shows "socket" process @ +95% | 23:07 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: yes I use the same | 23:07 |
| stefg | nefrin2: now out of the chroot again... press ctrl-d | 23:07 |

| nefrin2 | stefg ---- back to: ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/disk$ | 23:08 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: hmm I'll try the 32 one | 23:08 |
| ryanprior | eighthour: I think ddrecover was an older Unix utility. | 23:08 |
| jp_sf | phoenixz: you have the pid ? of the process ? | 23:08 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: ok | 23:08 |
| stefg | nefrin2: good now run 'sudo grub' | 23:08 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- done | 23:08 |
| stefg | nefrin2: you'll get a grub prompt | 23:08 |
| jochenh | ^hashbang^: I think this once help me: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash#amd64andppc thanks for that | 23:09 |
| stefg | nefrin2: at the grub-prompt type'find /boot/grub/stage1' and tell me what turns up | 23:09 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: ok so you can play flash now? | 23:09 |
| Kakinho | Indo ao banhu... | 23:09 |
| phoenixz | jp_sf: yeah, I can kill it if I'd like to but.. the problem is that I have to do thaht every reboot and I don't want to do that anymore.. the (@#*@(* print job just has to piss off | 23:09 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- (hd1,0) | 23:09 |

| anom01y | ryanprior, is it normal that the cpu spikes whenever I switch users ? I notice it shoots up to like 80% every time. | 23:10 |
| ^hashbang^ | jochenh: oh ok ... | 23:10 |
| nightrid3r | !br | Kakinho | 23:10 |

| ubottu | Kakinho: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 23:10 |
| stefg | nefrin2: ok .. now 'root (hd1,0)' then 'setup (hd1)' | 23:10 |
| phoenixz | rww: pardon my french | 23:10 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: I'll try the 32bit version, thanks for your help until now | 23:10 |
| jp_sf | phoenixz: are you sure it is a print job ? | 23:10 |
| Omar | Hello, I try to install xilinx ISE webpack on my ubuntu | 23:10 |
| ryanprior | eighthour: Did you see that I found what you're looking for? | 23:10 |
| phoenixz | jp_sf: yes.. ps -F PID gives me cups as parent | 23:11 |
| ryanprior | eighthour: ddrescue should probably work. | 23:11 |
| diginux | everyone, i have asked my question twice now, no one will answer, is there a better place to ask my question? | 23:11 |
| jochenh | G-Blunted: looks like the 64bit version has bugs | 23:11 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ----- http://paste.ubuntu.com/116235/ | 23:11 |
| Omar | but the CD (attached with xilinx kit) contain installer only for Red Hat Linux | 23:11 |
| Omar | what can I do??? | 23:11 |
| stefg | nefrin2: brilliant ... now try rebooting | 23:11 |
| Omar | to install it on ubuntu | 23:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jochenh NOt really bugs, but more to learn and very little advantage even when you do run 64 bit | 23:12 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- will do, I will still be in chat as "nefrin" incase anything goes wrong | 23:12 |
| ryanprior | anom01y: I truly have no clue what happens when you switch users and leave the session for one of them running. I've never done it in my life - I always log off - and I've never bothered to look at how it works under the hood, so asking me these questions will get you nowhere. I suggest that you start reading, googling, investigating, etc. | 23:12 |
| stefg | nefrin2: i didn't forget that :-) | 23:12 |
| jochenh | looks like there's an error between my hardware and 64bit plugin | 23:12 |
| eighthour | ryanprior, no....sorry....i was still looking myself....thanks.... | 23:12 |
| G-Blunted | ya | 23:12 |
| nightrid3r | !alien | 23:12 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 23:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Omar Patience. ask a full and complete question.. and DONT try to install redhat linux software on or in Uubntu | 23:12 |
| bernz | hi! i have a typical PC, nothing too fancy, *except* a PCI USB 2.0 expansion card; 'intrepid' installed fine, and stuff's good, except my mobo USB ports aren't fully functional; they're powered (i can charge stuff), but inserted devices don't register, and make no noise in '/var/log/messages' (which i've follow-tailed before plugging); devices plugged into the expansion card DO make noise in the log... it's like the mobo's host(s) are not getting initialized. | 23:12 |
| trygg | Let me rephrase that, where do I see how the HDDs are mounted? | 23:12 |
| jp_sf | phoenixz: and if you issue a lpstat -o | 23:13 |
| CJ__ | What's the command to make a sha256 hash of a given string? | 23:13 |
| m4rtin | is there a sctor mode using ntfsresize? | 23:13 |
| ryanprior | trygg: /etc/fstab | 23:13 |
| phoenixz | jp_sf: nothing.. returns to promppt | 23:13 |
| SkEmO | hi! | 23:13 |
| m4rtin | *sector | 23:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | trygg mount in a term, but it brings up everything | 23:13 |
| jp_sf | phoenixz: then it means the queue is empty | 23:13 |
| SkEmO | i have kubuntu 7.10, if i upgrade to 8.10, will i loose all my info? | 23:14 |
| jp_sf | phoenixz: sis you submitt a job as root or as aanother user ? | 23:14 |
| Omar | Jack_Sparrow: sorry, so I can't install xilinx ISE webpack on my ubuntu??? because I have only Windows installer and Red Hat installer in the CD, so what can I do | 23:14 |
| jp_sf | phoenixz: did you submitt a job as root or as aanother user ? | 23:14 |
| phoenixz | jp_sf: AFAIK, as my own user.. | 23:14 |
| jp_sf | phoenixz: then it is not a job | 23:14 |
| phoenixz | jp_sf: maybe I sent it as root by accident.. dunno | 23:14 |
| SkEmO | !upgrade | 23:14 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 23:14 |
| phoenixz | let me check lpstat as root | 23:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Omar I have no idea what you are trying to install. but alien is a bad choice | 23:14 |
| ryanprior | CJ__: You can use openssl to perform that hash. | 23:14 |
| ^hashbang^ | Omar: Xilinx is only supported or RHEL and will run on CentOS 32/64bit outside of that.. good luck | 23:15 |
| phoenixz | jp_sf: nothing either... | 23:15 |
| ryanprior | CJ__: man openssl | 23:15 |
| phoenixz | jp_sf: but then.. its cups that creates the socket process, cups is thhe parent process | 23:15 |
| CJ__ | ryanprior: alright, thanks | 23:15 |
| shay26m | Hello , how can i set the swap size in Ubuntu ? | 23:15 |
| Omar | Jack_Sparrow: ^hashbang^: OK... thanks | 23:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shay26m gparted is the usual way to set the size of your swap partition | 23:16 |
| trygg | Jack_Sparrow: Ah there we go. How do I know which ones of the /dev/sd** is what when trying to configure GRUB? | 23:16 |
| ^hashbang^ | Omar: np | 23:16 |

| Jack_Sparrow | trygg sda1 id hd0,0 | 23:17 |
| === Jesus is now known as Fenrir | ||
| bernz | shay26m, keep in mind if you are going to use 'hibernate', your swap needs to be at least as big as your RAM and then some | 23:17 |

| dou213 | can somebody help me set up my ftp-server correctly? i am behind my router, trying to connect with FileZilla within the lan on an ubuntu server box, when i connect unencrypted it works just fine, when i do it with SSL it gives me an error: Connection timed out! | 23:17 |

| psufan | hi | 23:18 |
| ^hashbang^ | hi | 23:18 |
| shay26m | Jack_Sparrow: what are the steps in order to create swap ? (when i installed Ubuntu i didnt created the swap . when i go to system monitor swap : 0 bytes (0.0%) of 0 bytes ? | 23:18 |
| psufan | how do i edit MS access on ubuntu? | 23:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shay26m It creates swap by default. YOuwill need to shrink arnother partition in order to make swap.. Please tell me this isnt one of those Wubi insta;;s | 23:19 |
| DIFH-ice1oot | psufan: openoffice i think | 23:19 |
| ryanprior | psufan: What does MS stand for? | 23:19 |
| DIFH-ice1oot | ryanprior: microsoft | 23:19 |
| psufan | ryanprior: Micro Soft | 23:19 |
| Stroganoff | shay26m: use gparted (perhaps livecd) to resize your linux partition and create a swap partition, and add the swap partition to fstab | 23:19 |
| psufan | open offices will do Access? | 23:20 |
| psufan | can it do VBA? | 23:20 |
| ryanprior | psufan: So, you mean Microsoft Access, the database product? In that case, I think OpenOffice.org Base can open those files. | 23:20 |
| evon | anyone here using e17? | 23:20 |
| theacolyte | I'm trying to get my 2nd monitor with display port working (NVIDIA) - it seems like the display is disabled and I can't enable it | 23:20 |
| DIFH-ice1oot | psufan: dont know, you can also use ms office with ubuntu and wine | 23:20 |
| stefg | nefrin: hmmm... so i'm pretty positive that grub and kernel are there... the only thing that annoyed me was that grub reported (hd1,0) instead of (hd0,0) ... the other possibly thing can be filesystem damage | 23:20 |
| ryanprior | psufan: I think the very latest version of Base can do some VBA stuff, but I doubt the coverage is complete yet. | 23:20 |
| psufan | WINE???? | 23:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | evon e17 as in the livecd or enlightenment the desktop | 23:20 |
| Stroganoff | evon: go to #enlightenment | 23:20 |
| ^hashbang^ | psufan: wine? | 23:20 |
| psufan | WHAT | 23:20 |
| stefg | nefrin: so boot up the CD agian, but don't mount the installed system | 23:21 |
| psufan | MS Office is nto very relaxing | 23:21 |
| nefrin | stefg ---- I think that it reported hd1,0 because I have a second hard drive in that computer that boots windows XP | 23:21 |
| evon | Jack_Sparrow: I am using it as a desktop. I'm having trouble setting up wireless in ozos | 23:21 |
| === Life is now known as Jesus | ||

| shay26m | Jack_Sparrow: does it possible to create the swap partition without the livecd ? (i dont have here right now the cd) | 23:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | evon Wrong channel for support | 23:21 |
| anom01y | is there any way from preventing a session from being logged out, or crashed, so it is more secure and will always be "on" ?? | 23:21 |
| ryanprior | shay26m: You can create a swap partition using gparted. | 23:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shay26m Not your best choice. you cant resize while it is mounted | 23:22 |
| anom01y | so that if someone comes up to the computer and screws with it my session won't crash all the time ? | 23:22 |
| ^hashbang^ | shay26m: download gpartd burn to cd and then reboot your computer with the cd and resize your harddrive to fit a swap partition | 23:22 |
| ryanprior | Jack_Sparrow: Could mount as read-only. | 23:22 |
| stefg | nefrin: and that could cause confusion... some BIOS's flip the numbering around when you choose a different boot device... so grun looks at hd0, while the bios thinks it's hd1 in grub-speak | 23:22 |
| DIFH-ice1oot | shay26m: swap must not be an extra partition it can also be a file on an existing partition | 23:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ryanprior No you cant | 23:22 |
| ryanprior | Jack_Sparrow: Oh. Nevermind then. =X | 23:23 |
| shay26m | Jack_Sparrow: i have also windows vista partition i can resize the partition and use the space for the Ubuntu swap right ? | 23:23 |
| SkEmO | atheros wireless cards work with ubuntu 8.10? | 23:23 |
| evon | how do i change channels? | 23:23 |
| Cpudan80 | Does anyone know of a decent pandora desktop thing for linux ? | 23:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shay26m yes, but you will screw up fstab, grub and probably your mbr | 23:23 |
| nightrid3r | SkEmO: yes | 23:23 |
| DIFH-ice1oot | evon: /join #channelname | 23:23 |
| nefrin | stefg ----- that could be it, I'm booted back into LiveCD | 23:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cpudan80 I use pandora in firefox in ubuntu | 23:23 |
| SkEmO | oh | 23:23 |
| SkEmO | thanks nightrid3r | 23:24 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: Yeah that works, but I'd kinda like to have a desktop client thing | 23:24 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: they have a windows vista panel applet which is kinda nice | 23:24 |
| stefg | nefrin: run 'sudo fdisk -l ' and show the output on pastebin | 23:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cpudan80 that isnt pandora | 23:24 |
| Cpudan80 | its not? | 23:24 |
| kjell | :D | 23:24 |
| Cpudan80 | It says it is... it looks like it is .... works with my pandora account | 23:24 |
| ex0a | i'm getting a syslog error about a file not existing even though it's there: execv( /glftpd/bin/glftpd ) failed: No such file or directory (errno = 2) | 23:25 |
| ex0a | any ideas how to correct that? | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cpudan80 Someones implememtation of it.. | 23:25 |
| Cpudan80 | Jack_Sparrow: Actually this was for Win7 now that I think about it | 23:25 |
| Cpudan80 | oh | 23:25 |
| Cpudan80 | I see | 23:25 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ----- http://paste.ubuntu.com/116241/ | 23:26 |
| stefg | nefrin: wait... the message you received are already kernel messages... so grub got it right, i think it's an initrd problem | 23:26 |
| ex0a | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1461252 2009-02-09 17:47 /glftpd/bin/glftpd <- shows the file is there and proper perms | 23:26 |
| akorpija | Anybody know the major window navigators? Like AWN, Cairo, and what else? I'm convinced i was using something before i formatted my HD thatw asn't either of those but was killer | 23:26 |

| ^hashbang^ | psufan: your joking right? do people still use those? | 23:29 |
| psufan | no, yes | 23:29 |
| ex0a | anyone know why a file would show up as "no such file or dir" in syslog even though it's there? | 23:29 |
| ^hashbang^ | psufan: well, a default install is 2.7G so I guess a whole lot of floppies | 23:30 |
| wassy121 | psufan: Ubuntu, just to boot it and get networking can fit on 1 floppy. | 23:30 |
| ryanprior | mib_rxo3tt: It's at the top of the screen, near Applications and Places. | 23:30 |
| psufan | this PC has no networking | 23:30 |
| psufan | which is why i am using floppies | 23:30 |
| wassy121 | psufan: but, you have to format it properly. From there you will need to go through a "real" install. | 23:30 |
| andresmauricio | hola | 23:30 |
| mib_rxo3tt | ryanprior: ... I'm running Windows XP | 23:30 |
| ryanprior | psufan: About 280 floppies. | 23:30 |
| wassy121 | psufan: try a USB stick too. More space. | 23:30 |
| ryanprior | mib_rxo3tt: Ah, In that case, I know there are tutorials out there if you google. | 23:31 |
| mib_rxo3tt | ryanprior: I'm mentioning this in a Ubuntu Chatroom because I'm trying to get Ubuntu to work | 23:31 |
| ^hashbang^ | ryanprior: nice man... I was to lazy to do the math | 23:31 |
| mib_rxo3tt | ryanprior: Ah, where can I find these? | 23:31 |
| psufan | no USB | 23:31 |
| psufan | can i get a PS2 stick? | 23:31 |

| ryanprior | mib_rxo3tt: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=install+Ubuntu+on+flash+drive | 23:32 |
| wassy121 | porter1: I think that is a function of the new 8.10 ubuntu. | 23:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mib_rxo3tt no | 23:32 |
| porter1 | 8.10 or 9.04? | 23:32 |
| ^hashbang^ | mib_rxo3tt: no... | 23:32 |
| stefg | nefrin: another possibility is: your linux drive is quite large. you might suffer from a 'out of range' problem. if you write a new initrd (which happens when you mess with usplash) the initrd might get written far to the rear of the disk.grub/bios might not be able to reach that far back on the disk, b/c the don't have large enough address space | 23:32 |
| ^hashbang^ | mib_rxo3tt: it doesn't work that way. | 23:32 |
| wassy121 | psufan: read lots of old docs about how to get PC-to-PC communications over a printer cable. | 23:32 |
| mib_rxo3tt | ryanprior: Nice website =D. I'm gonna use it. | 23:33 |
| wassy121 | psufan: like, lots of docs unfortunately:( | 23:33 |
| psufan | what | 23:33 |

| Jack_Sparrow | psufan np | 23:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | no | 23:35 |
| poseidon | 6.5 has been out for a while right now. I would think that a package would have been put in the stable repos by now | 23:35 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- I've also had a problem with the large hard drive issue for grub loading, but think I have fixed that problem | 23:35 |
| wassy121 | psufan: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PLIP-Install-HOWTO.html#toc8 might be a good start | 23:35 |
| psufan | um | 23:35 |
| xoox | My filesystem was remounted read only. How do I check why (/var/log/messages is empty)? | 23:35 |
| stefg | nefrin2: would taking a backup and repartitioning the drive be an option? Anyway it's a good idea of having the system and your /home separate | 23:35 |
| ^hashbang^ | wassy121: remember "laplink" hehe | 23:35 |
| luddite | G'day all - I have 8.04 (ext2 /dev/sdc2 with swap on /dev/sdc1) and 8.10 on extended partition /dev/sdc3 as ->(ext3 /dev/sdc5 with swap on /dev/sdc6. I am worried about deleting 8.04 (/dev/sdc2 and 1). What should i do? | 23:35 |
| psufan | what is PLIP | 23:35 |
| adaptr | psufan: like SLIP, but different | 23:35 |
| genii | psufan: paralel port IP | 23:35 |
| wassy121 | psufan: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=plip :) | 23:36 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- repartitioning would be an option, though a last option hopefully | 23:36 |
| wassy121 | psufan: it is for parallel port cable communications between two machines. You can use it to install linux. | 23:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nefrin2 I missed the question you had? | 23:36 |
| psufan | um | 23:36 |
| stefg | nefrin2: how's the fsck going? any errors up to now? | 23:36 |
| psufan | can i use my GAME PORT? | 23:36 |
| psufan | that may be easier if it is serial | 23:36 |
| nefrin2 | stefg --- was just remarking that GRUB loading errors are also an issue of having a large hard drive, have had those in the past | 23:37 |
| ^hashbang^ | psufan: how old is this system? | 23:37 |
| psufan | the 90s | 23:37 |
| genii | psufan: If your computer has no cd, no usb, and just a floppy... you can network it by parallel port cable (sometimes called LapLink cable) and install that way from a second box which also understands PLIP and acts as a n apt-proxy or so | 23:37 |
| ^hashbang^ | psufan: so like a 386? 486? | 23:37 |
| psufan | genli: it's not a laptop | 23:37 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- http://paste.ubuntu.com/116245/ | 23:37 |
| mcgohenn | it doesn't need to be a laptop for laplink cable sto work | 23:38 |
| ^hashbang^ | psufan: your best bet is laplink | 23:38 |
| stefg | nefrin2: I tell you what: The longer i think about it, the more i'm convinced that you should make up a better partition scheme for that box | 23:38 |
| genii | psufan: I did not state anywhere that this process is limited to laptops | 23:38 |
| wassy121 | psufan: the "game port" is normally yellow, and is also normally a "midi port". | 23:38 |
| psufan | I can use MIDI to install UBUNTU? | 23:38 |
| genii | psufan: No | 23:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | psufan Please read our link on all the many ways to install. | 23:38 |
| ^hashbang^ | psufan: hmm, doubt it... serial is your option | 23:38 |
| wassy121 | psufan: you may have a grey or black 12-pin female back there which is a serial port. That can be used. | 23:38 |
| adaptr | psufan: you can't install anything without physical access | 23:38 |
| stefg | nefrin2: yeak.. so filesystem is fine... i'm pretty sure now that your 500G partition is simply too much | 23:38 |
| psufan | I am going to use this as a car computer | 23:39 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- yeah, I think that I need a better partition scheme as well | 23:39 |
| psufan | I've removed the right side seat | 23:39 |
| psufan | to put this computer | 23:39 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- I need a few minutes to mount that drive and recover any important files from it | 23:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nefrin2 did you pastebin your fdisk -l already | 23:39 |
| wassy121 | psufan: use a newer system for Solid State Drives. Old-school spinny hard drives get Fed up by the bumps. | 23:39 |
| adaptr | what is it, a friggin Cray 1 ? | 23:39 |
| psufan | is there a way to instead use the car management system as my UBUNTU car PC box? | 23:39 |
| wassy121 | psufan: it would require super extra lotsa hacks. | 23:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | psufan No. please read our docs | 23:40 |
| cdeszaq1 | How can I execute a custom script from a post-commit subversion hook? I keep running into permissions errors. The script is simple...cd into a working copy, run svn update. That's it. But it seems that I cannot get the permissions set right because the update fails every time, even with 777 permissions | 23:40 |
| jillian | I'm upgrading my ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 and have noticed that my sound has gone...Is this going to be fixed once the download is complete? | 23:40 |
| stefg | nefrin2: like 256MB /boot , 20G / (root) , 2G swap , rest /home | 23:40 |
| cdeszaq1 | \nick cdeszaq | 23:40 |
| psufan | wassy121: please give me a push in a direction | 23:40 |
| wassy121 | psufan: you could control the machine with the dashboard switches if you are crafty enough. | 23:40 |
| bradly | Anyone know ubuntu puts slapd.conf by default? | 23:40 |
| nefrin2 | Jack_Sparrow ---- yes, here it is again http://paste.ubuntu.com/116247/ | 23:40 |
| bradly | *know where | 23:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nefrin2 ty | 23:40 |
| ^hashbang^ | cdeszaql: pastbin your script | 23:40 |
| wassy121 | psufan: hacks are things you have to figure out yourself unfortunately :( | 23:40 |
| Mike_92 | Does Ubuntu come with a VNC client? | 23:41 |
| psufan | ok i'm removing my cruise controls | 23:41 |
| psufan | and rerouting them to boot UBUNTU | 23:41 |
| psufan | and to play music | 23:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | psufan Please stop | 23:41 |
| genii | bradly: in /etc or a subdir of that | 23:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nefrin2 what issue were you having | 23:41 |
| jillian | can anyone help me | 23:41 |
| mcgohenn | Mike_92 it comes with a remote desktop, and you can install a VNC | 23:41 |
| ^hashbang^ | Mike_92: you can install one via the package manager or from the terminal via sudo apt-get vnc-common | 23:41 |
| psufan | what | 23:41 |
| remu | Hey everyone. I am using Geany as my IDE, and I have ubuntu set to open java source code files with Geany, however, when I open a downloaded whatever.java by double clicking in the firefox download window, it always opens it with gedit rather than Geany, if I go to my desktop and double click it, it opens properly in Geany....any ideas on how I can get firefox to use Geany? | 23:41 |
| pxc | hey, I'm having atheros wifi problems on Intrepid. How can I get wpa_supplicant to work with the madwifi driver? It's not listed in wpa_supplicant --help. | 23:42 |
| psufan | another question: can I replace the OS on my TI-82 so i can use Python instead of just TI BASIC? | 23:42 |
| jillian | i need to know if once my ubuntu 8.04 has finished upgrading if my sound will return | 23:42 |
| bradly | genii: hmm.. I don't see it in etc. Maybe I have to create it myself after install? | 23:42 |
| mcgohenn | psufan: unles you are an automotive programmer... you really don't want to try those kinds of controls... | 23:42 |
| nefrin2 | Jack_Sparrow ----- can't boot up the system, but I think stefg has got it right, my partition is just too big for ubuntu to handle and I need to clean it up | 23:42 |
| cdeszaq1 | Here is the update script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/116248/ The post-commit hook is just one line to call it: /data/scripts/./update.sh | 23:43 |
| cdeszaq1 | ^hashbang^: see above | 23:43 |
| ^hashbang^ | cdeszaql: got it... | 23:43 |
| luddite | can i delete a partition with a unused 8.04 if its extended partition is running 8.10? | 23:43 |
| genii | bradly: You can do something like: dpkg -L ldap (or whichever it was that should have the slapd.conf, I forget exact name) and it should list the files it installed | 23:43 |
| stefg | nefrin2: replace ubuntu with bios/grub .... | 23:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nefrin2 grub should go in mbr of sda | 23:43 |
| stefg | :-) | 23:43 |
| remu | pxc, I dunno if it works for madwifi or not, but my sisters computer has an atheros card, and I went "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid" and then it was working. | 23:43 |
| dou213 | hi guys, just wandering how i can change the HISTSIZE? with export HISTSIZE='nr' like 3000? | 23:43 |
| ^hashbang^ | cdeszaql: so if your in your svn hooks dir how are you excuting this script in your post-commit file? | 23:44 |
| remu | pxc and then her card works on my wpa2 protected network using network-manager | 23:44 |
| kholerabbi | the nautilus cd creator has no size indicator?! | 23:44 |
| kholerabbi | it doesn't tell you how much is used - lol | 23:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nefrin2 grub> root (hd1,0) setup (hd0) | 23:45 |
| ryanprior | kholerabbi: That's why we suggest using Brasero instead. | 23:45 |
| pxc | remu: I've played with ath5k, but the Ubuntu keeps loading the madwifi driver, despite my contradictory blacklist entries in /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi | 23:45 |
| cdeszaq1 | ^hashbang^: SVN runs this after a commit completes, so it literally runs the command "/data/scripts/./update.sh" which is the script I pastebin'ed | 23:45 |
| j85wilson | I must say even after years of using it, I continue to be impressed by Debian/Ubuntu. My laptop ran out of battery partway through apt-get upgrade, and I thought it would be borked for sure. But it came up, and another call to apt-get asked for a specific invocation of dpkg, which finished the upgrade seamlessly. | 23:45 |
| bernz | psufan, RS232? | 23:45 |
| cdeszaq1 | ^hashbang^: The path for the update script is based off of root | 23:45 |
| bradly | genii: Thanks. Apparently it doesn't install a slapd.conf any more | 23:45 |
| psufan | what? | 23:45 |
| remu | pxc, I dont know much about madwifi, doing the backports method, and making sure the backports repo was enabled worked for me | 23:45 |
| bernz | (if you're still figuring out some I/O path for your old old machine) | 23:45 |
| remu | Sorry | 23:45 |
| ryanprior | j85wilson: That's great. Many people are not so lucky, so I'm glad it came up that way for you. | 23:45 |
| ^hashbang^ | cdeszaql: ok so if you run ./post-commit by hand what do you get? | 23:46 |
| stefg | Jack_Sparrow: we went through a whole grub reinstall kernel reconfigure and fsck... the bios just doesn't get the initrd... out of address space. got written too far to the back when he did a update-initramfs in the process of customizing usplash | 23:46 |
| adaptr | j85wilson: now try unplugging it halfway through a dist-upgrade :) | 23:46 |
| === nyu_ is now known as spritle | ||
| ^hashbang^ | cdeszaql: also make sure to add in your options for your $REPOS and $REV for your mail option too. | 23:46 |
| j85wilson | heh, no thanks there adaptr :) | 23:46 |
| kholerabbi | ryanprior: yeah. But cd creator is default on blank cds.......this is not good. | 23:46 |
| bernz | psu, i must admit i was looking at the scrollbuffer -- perhaps you've already solved your problem ;-) | 23:46 |
| Florent_ | hi i looking for a soft who can boot my computer with an iso who is on a other partitions (in order to not burn a CD) | 23:47 |
| pxc | the repository is enabled, the ath5k driver is installed, and it can be loaded manually... the lappy just always loads the madwifi driver | 23:47 |
| psufan | bernz sorry please dont talk about this here | 23:47 |
| psufan | you can PM me | 23:47 |
| cdeszaq1 | ^hashbang^: The options are just ignored, so that's no prob, but I noticed the perms on the post-commit were non-executable...let me try this again :) | 23:47 |
| spritle | so, whenever i try to save my video settings in nvidia-settings, i get an error saying it failed to parse xorg.conf O__o | 23:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !install > Florent_ | 23:47 |
| ubottu | Florent_, please see my private message | 23:47 |
| ryanprior | kholerabbi: Default apps as a whole are a mess in Ubuntu, and I think in other distros as well. There is no good system in place, it's all hodgepodge and much of the time the best choices are not being made anyway. | 23:47 |
| ^hashbang^ | cdeszaql: yea my post-commit is 755 | 23:48 |
| nefrin2 | stefg --- I'm copying files over to an external usb harddrive right now that I can't replace, but it's gonna take about an hour to complete. If you just want to run through any additional steps that I should know about to repartition when I reinstall, I'll cut and past them | 23:48 |
| Florent_ | ty | 23:48 |
| remu | pxc, have you tried uninstalling madwifi? is that even possible? | 23:48 |
| j85wilson | spritle: you might pastebin your xorg.conf, maybe there is some error in it for some reason. I don't know about nvidia-settings | 23:48 |
| pxc | remu: i'd have to remove the entire ubuntu-restricted-modules package | 23:48 |
| DefineByte | In the process of trying to get sound working with Flash 10 I no longer have sound anywhere. Any ideas on where to start looking? | 23:48 |
| mcgohenn | if anyone has a moment, i have a question about ripping music to .mp3 format | 23:48 |
| j85wilson | pxc: can you blacklist the modules you don't want | 23:49 |
| DefineByte | aplay -l shows the sound card but it can't play any audio files. | 23:49 |
| ^hashbang^ | spritle: are you running nvidia-settings as gksu? | 23:49 |
| stefg | nefrin2: As we agreed on a more or less hardware problem there's not much left to do. you don't even need to reinstall, but it might be easier if you dont want to write a fstab and several other things ... | 23:49 |
| DefineByte | I've added myself to the pulseaudio groups but htat didn't help. | 23:49 |
| cdeszaq1 | ^hashbang^: After running ./post-commit, got this: "svn: Can't set permissions on '.svn/entries.2.tmp': Operation not permitted" | 23:49 |
| spritle | gksu? | 23:49 |
| spritle | im running it with sudo | 23:50 |
| DefineByte | I don't see an audio group which seems strange to me. | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 23:50 |
| adaptr | spritle: sudo can't do X | 23:50 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 23:50 |
| DefineByte | maybe it's normal | 23:50 |
| hvgotcodes | it seems like a ton of packages depend on python 2.5, but 3.0 is available in synaptic. Is there a way to get 3.0 on the system without breaking anything? | 23:50 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- I'm not much one for writing code, a complete reinstall with a proper partition would probably solve all my problems and they wouldn't come back | 23:50 |
| cjae | IntuitiveNipple: you around, I see I assume that you are the one that made the ms vx6000 .deb file? | 23:50 |
| remu | pxc: have you tried this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros | 23:50 |
| adaptr | spritle: it's in the system menu, just use that | 23:50 |
| remu | I read that the blacklisting suggested there might work | 23:50 |
| cjae | IntuitiveNipple: can I get that for ibex? | 23:50 |
| stefg | nefrin2: as said before i'd recommend a 256 MB /boot, some 20Gigs for the system /, then (as logical partition) around 2 G of swap , then the rest for /home... if you hva a large movie collection you might to consider putteing them separate on a dedicated partiton (preferably on xfs ) | 23:52 |
| spritle | ah, gksudo seems to have worked :D | 23:52 |
| cjae | IntuitiveNipple: I have a person that will completely drop windows if that web cam will work under ibex | 23:52 |
| nefrin2 | stefg ---- I will probably use exactly what you put in chat for a partition setup... I have no movie collection, I keep all music and movies on my PS3 with a backup on an external harddrive | 23:52 |
| === pxc_ is now known as therealpxc | ||
| bernz | so, my mobo USB ports don't get initialized properly (but my expansion card ones do) -- where can i start digging? /var/logs/messages shows no activity during a physical plug-in event | 23:53 |
| therealpxc | hey, sry; my inet connection bounced | 23:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nefrin2 Split what he said to leave for home down into 100 gig partitions.. you will use them and it will make life simpler | 23:53 |
| therealpxc | [16:50] <pxc> in /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi, I have lines blacklisting ath_pci and ath_hal, but the thing still gets loaded on boot | 23:53 |
| therealpxc | [16:50] <pxc> do i have to run something to let the system know i've made these changes? | 23:53 |
| IntuitiveNipple | cjae: I'm not sure about the vx6000 - I did some packages months ago for someone to test but don't have access to the cam myself | 23:54 |
| Bodsda | which plugin in ccsm allows windows to be selected on mouse over rather then on click? | 23:54 |
| therealpxc | j85wilson: is there something else i need to do, as well? | 23:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nefrin2 I personally would put an ntfs att eh start of your 500 assuming your windows install would be nice to move over when that other drive starts to get older | 23:54 |
| nefrin2 | Jack_Sparrow ---- that actually sounds like a good idea, since I got 500GB of space | 23:54 |
| therealpxc | adf | 23:54 |
| j85wilson | therealpxc: I don't know. I'm not all that familiar with blacklisting modules. Google might help you; that's where I'd start. | 23:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nefrin2 I try to avoid any partition over 100 gig.. | 23:55 |
| i-pink | hii | 23:55 |
| i-pink | i looking for some program like InkSeine | 23:55 |
| therealpxc | alrighty... back to google | 23:55 |
| jereme | I pinned ruby to v1.8.6 in intrepid... purged my ruby install, reinstalled it, saw that it installed the 1.8.6 packages, yet it reports as 1.8.7 w/ ruby -v | 23:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | i-pink inkscape | 23:55 |
| nefrin2 | Jack_Sparrow --- I got two more hard drives laying around unused to replace the windows one, and I only keep windows running because of computer security and networking classes at school | 23:55 |
| i-pink | no | 23:55 |
| mcgohenn | if anyone has a moment, i have a question about ripping music to .mp3 format | 23:55 |
| i-pink | is for tablet pc | 23:56 |
| Bodsda | nvm | 23:56 |
| j85wilson | mcgohenn: don't ask to ask... | 23:56 |
| nefrin2 | Jack_Sparrow ---- personally, if my windows drive crashed, I'd rejoice in having to tell my teacher I can't work on windows anymore | 23:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nefrin2 I still dual boot, as there is lots of cool stuff for winodws boxes, as long as they dont get to connect to thte internet | 23:56 |
| cdeszaq1 | I have gotten the permissions right no the post-commit script now, but the script cannot run the svn up command due to other permission problems. When it gets to that line, SVN says this: svn: Can't set permissions on '.svn/entries.2.tmp': Operation not permitted The pastbin of the problem script is http://paste.ubuntu.com/116248/ | 23:56 |
| jereme | has anyone in here successfully pinned ruby 1.8.6 on intrepid? | 23:56 |
| j85wilson | mcgohenn: just ask, and if someone has a moment, they will answer. | 23:56 |
| i-pink | Jack_Sparrow : is for tablet pc | 23:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | i-pink look into netbook remix for that hardware | 23:57 |
| i-pink | ??? | 23:57 |
| therealpxc | alright, i found a solution on the internet that I'll post here for the logs: after you change your blacklists in /etc/modprobe.d/FILENAME, you have to run update-initramfs. | 23:57 |
| mcgohenn | I have gstreamer0.10-plugin-ulgy, lame, and ubuntu-restricted installed, and soundjuicer will show mp3 format, however every time i try it only rips to .flac | 23:57 |
