| foolz | ok, I am trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 - my sources.list has all lines crosses out except the "deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted universe multiverse" line (and the same for feisty-updates and feisty-security)... now I get the message "no valid mirror found" when I try to upgrade, and it asks me if I want to rewrite my source.list file anyway | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| foolz | should I do this? | 00:00 |
| Wizzup | hou5ton: It is a program that you want. If you already have it, you can type it in a terminal to run the program | 00:00 |
| Wizzup | Once you want it to actually make changes, put sudo in front of it | 00:00 |
| hou5ton | Wizzup: ok .. i have that up ... just not sure what to do with it. | 00:00 |
| Wizzup | hou5ton: Check the second top option menu | 00:00 |
| Wizzup | It should contain two displays, with one disabled. Enable it | 00:01 |

| hou5ton | Wizzup: h ... hey ... ok .. and it says I would need to reboot ... but that looks like what I've been looking for ... I was so close | 00:02 |
| hou5ton | Wizzup: thanks | 00:02 |
| Wizzup | hou5ton: Not reboot, just log off | 00:02 |
| Wizzup | That will restart X as well | 00:02 |
| McShane | My monitor keeps defaulting to 75 Hz, even though it's an LCD. I can change it back to 60 Hz in the ATI control center, but the setting reverts to 75 Hz when I restart X. How can I fix this? I'm using a VGA cable, if that matters. | 00:03 |
| Wizzup | hou5ton: make sure you sudo'ed it and made it write to the xorg.conf file | 00:03 |
| Wizzup | It also creates a backup if so that you can revert if things get messy | 00:04 |
| hou5ton | Wizzup: I want it to be an extension of my main screen ... so I checked the Seperate X Screen. Is that correctn? | 00:04 |
| Wizzup | Nope | 00:04 |
| hou5ton | Wizzup: or should it be Twinview? | 00:04 |
| Wizzup | Use TwinView | 00:04 |
| markl_ | http://www.SupportMichaelPhelps.com/ | 00:04 |

| medb | Does anyone know anything about using mathcad on Ubuntu? | 00:05 |
| Wizzup | hou5ton: I think ehm | 00:05 |
| Wizzup | There was this option for setting the position | 00:05 |
| Wizzup | You can set it relatively to a monitor | 00:05 |
| hou5ton | Wizzup: ah ... found it | 00:05 |
| Wizzup | Either in pixels or just 'left' | 00:05 |
| Wizzup | Lol, this is all out of my memory though, don't have any X near atm... Just a Gentoo without X. | 00:06 |
| hyperbuddha | Which distro is best to run as a ssh backup server and a music server | 00:07 |
| Wizzup | hyperbuddha: depends on your hardware | 00:07 |
| fbc | How do I view gb2312 encoded websites?? I guess I need the font? | 00:07 |
| hyperbuddha | Im thinking about either running on an olpc or a macbook | 00:08 |
| Wizzup | I really like Ubuntu because it is fairly easy to set up and such. If you have lots of experience you might want to choose one which comes with nearly no apps at all | 00:08 |
| Wizzup | macbook as server? hmm | 00:08 |
| foolz | easy to set up sure... upgrade, heck no :-p | 00:08 |
| ^hashbang^ | nDevastator: Wizzup: Olpc as a server? | 00:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | Wizzup: not really, there's some experienced people that like Ubuntu.. I used it to basically jumpstart me into Debian. | 00:08 |
| bernz | hyperbuddha, i'm gonna use a mini-itx for a server, with ubuntu server (headless setup) | 00:09 |
| hyperbuddha | indeed but I have one lying around so im gonna load it up with external hd | 00:09 |
| Wizzup | ^hashbang^: I am afraid I don't even know what Olpc is | 00:09 |
| bernz | i wouldn't use a laptop/notebook as a server (always-on), though... they're bad for heat dissipation | 00:09 |
| hou5ton | Wizzup: you are THE MAN | 00:09 |
| Wizzup | IndyGunFreak: I see... Well, I really liked Ubuntu because it was my first Distro to work properly. When I tried it at my laptop I found the performance quite slow though | 00:09 |
| bernz | (olpc == xo project laptop -- for kids... one laptop per child) | 00:09 |
| ^hashbang^ | one laptop per child | 00:09 |
| Wizzup | hou5ton: glad to help | 00:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | Wizzup: strange.. it runs quiet well on my 2 laptops, and an AAO i have... 1 laptop is newer (1.8ghz), one is quite old(900mhz) | 00:10 |
| hyperbuddha | ok thanx guys ill take a look at barebones machines and craigslist | 00:10 |
| Wizzup | IndyGunFreak: Hmm, my laptop was quite old, with a 1,5 Ghz celeron. I was mainly referring to movies not playing _too_ well | 00:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | Wizzup: weird.. like i said, my laptop is a 1.8ghz celeron, and it plays movies find... | 00:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | *fine | 00:12 |
| Wizzup | Oh. Using mplayer as well? | 00:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Wizzup: no.. vlc | 00:12 |
| Wizzup | Hmm... VLC got me like 2fps | 00:13 |
| bernz | right -- i have totem installed by default; i used to enjoy mplayer on xp before ubuntu; should i go for mplayer in favour of totem? (i will eventually want to use hardware accel on my radeon hd2600) | 00:13 |
| _dbd_l12 | bernz: mplayer > totem | 00:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Wizzup: are you using intrepid? | 00:14 |
| blizzle | bergman, Try Exaile. | 00:14 |
| blizzle | bernz, rather.. Exaile.. | 00:14 |
| bernz | _dbd_l12, okay, is it just a simple "install mplayer and reassociate default file type handlers" type deal? | 00:14 |
| Wizzup | Ubuntu is still awesome though - just not fully optimized for my own system, if you get what I mean. (Like Gentoo, everything needs to be compiled, but it will be optimized for your system) | 00:14 |
| Wizzup | IndyGunFreak: Yes, using II | 00:14 |
| bernz | _dbd_l12, or should i do some "research" first? | 00:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm | 00:15 |
| hyperbuddha | can a regular distro of ubentu act as an afp and music server or does it have to be ubuntu server | 00:15 |
| Wizzup | hyperbuddha: a desktop can act as a server | 00:15 |
| rafael | server rizon | 00:15 |
| bernz | blizzle, oh yeah? i will check that out... thanks | 00:15 |
| blizzle | bernz, Exaile (Gnome/Gtk) or Amarok (KDE/QT) for audio files/mp3s. | 00:15 |
| hyperbuddha | cool thanks | 00:15 |
| Wizzup | In fact, I have a desktop functioning as a server at home. Ubuntu desktop with PHP, MySQL, Apache etc | 00:15 |
| Wizzup | (Not a big load server so it's not a big deal) | 00:16 |
| bernz | hyperbuddha, ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop are really mostly the same, but just different configurations (different included apps, default settings, etc) | 00:16 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| _dbd_l12 | bernz: yes, "sudo apt-get install mplayer" will do fine. you'll just want to download the codecs packages (from the mplayerhq website) and unzip them in the correct folder (it's in the faq probably at ubuntuguide.org | 00:16 |
| _dbd_l12 | bernz: if you need non-free codecs (wmv, quicktime) etc. | 00:16 |
| Wizzup | Anyway, this channel is quite a distraction and I need to go to bed. Bye all (Good luck.) | 00:16 |

| vock | Just read an article online about how Desktop environments have built in launchers which get around permissions, which allow downloaded programs to be run easily and this can easily facilitate a Gnome/KDE virus. Obviously, common sense is always the best defense, but i'm wondering if there is a way to change to anything about it beyond junking the desktop-environment? | 00:26 |
| bartek_ | redvamp128: link does not work | 00:27 |
| redvamp128 | vock: they can only get around permissions if they are set up by the super user | 00:27 |
| trippss | disabled all FF add-ons. ubuntu start page. 1 window. no tabs. FF process memory=VIRT=118m RES=38m SHR=19m. doesn't that seem high? | 00:27 |
| redvamp128 | vock: that is kind of like with windows Uac and setting a program to run with Admin Privilages. | 00:28 |
| redvamp128 | bartek_: that was a google link -- The original page was in spanish-- so you may want to goto the spanish page and then copy that link over to google translate | 00:28 |
| vock | redvamp128, from what the article was saying, a launcher can run scripts without super-user privileges | 00:29 |
| redvamp128 | bartek_: this is the spanish link Configurar sonido 5.1 en Ubuntu Hardy <http://www.cristalab.com/tips/configurar-sonido-5.1-en-ubuntu-hardy-c55716l/> | 00:29 |
| bernz | trippss, do you have a lot of tabs open? i often got 150MB sessions of firefox process on xp (and memory is memory, so it's not crazy for linux version to have similar usage) -- i'm talking about 60+ tabs here | 00:29 |
| redvamp128 | vock: please link to the article-- | 00:29 |
| trippss | bernz, no tabs. fresh start. ubuntu start page | 00:30 |

| sdlwof | like, windows display slow...you can easily watch them draw down the screen.. | 00:31 |
| vock | unop, i thought compared to everything else out there FF had the lightest footprint. Is there something better? | 00:32 |
| bernz | vock, it's best to just learn about general security, and then fix your system bit by bit as you learn; for instance, when you attach a new volume, you probably get a pop-up of the file browser, showing that volume's contents... well, how did it do that? it's not hard to discover and dig down until you see the path, and then you can understand the security risks (weak points on the path)... so you disable "weak" stuff or remove it, and things get better and | 00:32 |
| bernz | better ;-) | 00:32 |
| kansan | mv: inter-device move failed: `images/' to `/var/openx/images'; unable to remove target: Is a directory (from ext3 => xfs) ... is this not allowed or somethign? | 00:32 |

| bartek_ | redvamp128: now it opens | 00:33 |
| bernz | (in windows, this is EXTREMELY difficult, but with Linux, you have searchable, nice source code) | 00:33 |
| bartek_ | i'll be right back | 00:33 |
| numus | how do i mount my ntfs harddrive when running ubuntu in wubi | 00:33 |
| bernz | vock, yeah, sorry, linux is still pretty "young" | 00:33 |

| adante | hi guys, is ubuntu setup to automatically initialise lvm partitions? | 00:34 |
| wolter | hi, i want to resize my home partition, what should i do? | 00:34 |
| bernz | vock, in general, most malware requires at least one step of user "complicity" (i.e. you "help" it get past a hurdle, but e.g. getting spoofed into typing your root password into a fake login box, unlock dialog, etc) | 00:34 |
| unop | vock, firefox has always been heavy (the heaviest even?) -- but for that price you pay you get a lot -- it's quite a versatile browser supporting a _lot_ of features - you'd expect it to have a big footprint | 00:34 |
| yoyoned | wolter: get the gparted live cd | 00:34 |
| vock | redvamp128, doesn't double clicking run the script, i don't think i've ever had to enter super user to do that | 00:35 |
| wolter | I know i have to logout to stop using the mountpoint, but which home will the system use? will it be automatic? | 00:35 |
| redvamp128 | vock: no all attachments downloaded are not set to exe by default | 00:35 |
| bernz | vock, and this complicity is often achieved through social engineering (someone gets you to feel guilted into helping them do something borderline, or you are tricked outright by lack of info) | 00:35 |
| unop | vock, there are plenty of 'light' browsers - galeon, ephiphany, opera, etc - but i still prefer firefox | 00:35 |
| wolter | or, if i could login as root... that would be awesome for i will be using /root instead of home... is that possible? | 00:35 |
| bernz | wolter, step 1: BACKUP | 00:36 |
| vock | bernz, redvamp128, so as always it's not a big concern to worry about as long as you know where/what you're downloading? | 00:36 |
| redvamp128 | vock: actually a .sh by default if you click you will be prompted with possibilities- run - display - run with terminal or exit. | 00:36 |
| wolter | bernz, ok | 00:36 |
| bernz | wolter, step 2: check to see if you cheated and skipped step 1 ;-) | 00:36 |
| vock | redvamp128, right | 00:36 |
| bernz | wolter, after that, gparted is your friend | 00:36 |
| bernz | ('sudo apt-get install gparted' should work) | 00:36 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| redvamp128 | vock: so if you downloaded what you thought was picture or zip file - should either start default pictureviewer or archiver. | 00:36 |
| wolter | bernz, but i have to remove home from fstab, don't it? | 00:37 |
| wolter | i*? | 00:37 |
| === aaditya is now known as dragon_ | ||
| redvamp128 | bartek_: you may want to copy that link over to google translate | 00:37 |
| bernz | wolter, if you are stepping on the partitions you need to adjust, you should get a bootable "live CD" with gparted on it | 00:37 |
| wolter | oh, thats a better way to do it.. | 00:38 |
| wolter | bernz, thanks | 00:38 |
| wolter | for stopping me from being stupid | 00:38 |
| bernz | wolter, then read the gparted basic help/faq, make sure you understand partitioning in general (it's not too hard, i can explain in detail via PM if you like), and boot into live CD, adjust, reboot from HD | 00:38 |
| vock | redvamp128, so all i really need to worry about are .sh files, and if i learn a bit about bash scripting, it should be fairly easy to figure out if what i downloaded is doing what it's supposed to? Nothing to worry about viruses embedded in other types of files. It really is just a script that could run another script? | 00:38 |
| wolter | bernz, don't worry, i do. | 00:38 |
| bernz | wolter, yeah, if you find yourself "having to" go root for some reason, you're probably heading in the wrong direction ;-) | 00:38 |
| Pici | vock: Can we please move this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic as it is not a support request. | 00:38 |
| wolter | bernz, yeah | 00:39 |
| vock | Pici: sorry, thought it fit under the category, that's was my last question | 00:39 |
| redvamp128 | vock: unless you are installing something like winetricks (which is highly known ) for wine installs or a patch- you should always display something first before running or run with terminal | 00:39 |
| default | does anybody know if broadcom cards work with kismet? | 00:39 |

| default | specifically bcm4312? | 00:39 |
| redvamp128 | windio00: it should have given you a command to run to fix that. | 00:40 |
| Pici | windio00: How did you instlal virtualbox? How did you upgrade the kernel? | 00:40 |
| bernz | wolter, cool, so, definitely try to learn how PC hard disk partitioning works (what's MBR, how many primaries, what's extended, logical, etc) -- you only need to learn it once, then you understand forever ;-) | 00:40 |
| redvamp128 | windio00: to stop that in the long run - install DKMS for the future-- Let me look to see if the command I have -- | 00:40 |
| sarixe | guys, i'm thinking of switching to windows, because linux doesn't cut it for some of the stuff i need to be doing. my main concern, however, is that i have a large collection of music (some irreplaceable) on an external hard drive, formatted in ext3. will i be able to access ext3 from windows without risk of corruption? | 00:40 |

| bernz | sarixe, yes indeed | 00:41 |
| bernz | sarixe, but avoid making changes (write mode) | 00:41 |
| redvamp128 | windio00: this is a common issue and all you have to do is re-run the config for virtual box | 00:41 |

| bernz | sarixe, there's a guy called stephan schreiber who makes a driver for NT-based OS which masquerades ext[23]fs volumes as virtual NTFS volumes | 00:42 |
| numus | where is the wubi support chat? | 00:42 |
| windio00 | redvamp128, DKMS ok | 00:42 |
| bernz | search him by name, i can't remember the driver/utility name | 00:42 |
| redvamp128 | windio00: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup | 00:42 |
| sarixe | oh wait, i think i can just probably resize the ext3 partition to make room for a fat32 or something, and then copy everything over, right? | 00:42 |
| sarixe | that would probably work better | 00:42 |
| redvamp128 | windio00: that is the command to fix virtual box for now-- but in the future if you have dkms installed it will not need to do that | 00:42 |
| redvamp128 | !dkms | windio00: | 00:43 |
| ubottu | windio00:: DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module Support. See https://launchpad.net/dkms for more. | 00:43 |
| redvamp128 | windio00: you can find that one in synaptic package manger | 00:43 |

| bartek_ | sarixe: i downloaded total commander with special pack but in polish | 00:44 |
| numus | why does ntfs tools have internal drives shaded out on wubi | 00:44 |
| sarixe | bartek_ : i think it'll do fine if i just make a fat32 partition on the drive and copy things over. | 00:44 |

| Krypton | 1) WIne: WHen I open up any game for WIne (.exe) all i get is weird lines across the screen that vibrate. However when i reconfig WIne to emulate a desktop it works but the res is too small | 00:44 |
| Templar_Xion | So I want to change the default root mail receipient from root@localhost to my external gmail account. Any suggestions? | 00:44 |
| bartek_ | sarixe :http://totalcmd.pl/powerpack | 00:45 |
| redvamp128 | bartek_: as far as your remote control -- I don't have a clue-- you may also try going to alsa site and see if there are updated drivers (or there you may find clues to configure your Hdmi better) Main Page - AlsaProject <http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page> | 00:45 |
| sarixe | bartek_ : thanks, but i already have a solution. i asked the question without really thinking about it. | 00:45 |
| redvamp128 | vock: basically it it involves the user to do 4 things just to get the script to even run that way. | 00:46 |
| bartek_ | redvamp128: i have newest alsa and nvidia drivers; i am fighting with problem for a long time | 00:46 |
| numus | why does ntfs tools have internal drives shaded out on wubi | 00:46 |
| vock | redvamp128, yup, saw that after a bit more reading, i think i just got worried pre-emptively | 00:47 |
| bartek_ | but i do not know how aplay finds devices; should i add it somewhere in configuration files? | 00:47 |
| windio00 | is there a way to take a snapshot of the packages that i have installed now, and then have them automatically installed when i reinstall? | 00:47 |
| redvamp128 | windio00: did that fix you-- It happened to me all the time til I found out about installing -- kernel updates -- and having the Dkms installed stops that from having to be ran each update. | 00:47 |
| numus | why does ntfs tools have internal drives shaded out on wubi | 00:48 |
| windio00 | redvamp128, its my brothers computer i am driving over there in about 15 min | 00:48 |
| bartek_ | redvamp128: my remote control works as if it is part of keyboard | 00:49 |
| bartek_ | but i do not know what is responsible for it | 00:49 |
| bartek_ | and only one button working and giving keycodes in xev | 00:49 |
| redvamp128 | windio00: just run that command -- then install the dkms package afterwards and you won't need to re-run after each major update | 00:49 |

| blizzle | numus, My commiserations. I consider wubi trialware. :) | 01:00 |
| LordKenTheGreat | Even during the install, it may sometimes hang randomly. | 01:00 |
| numus | redvamp128 you said my screenshot is not wubi.. what did you mean by that | 01:00 |

| LordKenTheGreat | I reinstalled, and even in the LiveCD, I experience the same random crash. | 01:01 |
| LordKenTheGreat | Not done so yet. | 01:01 |
| numus | blizzle there is no proof that performance degrades when running wubi.. considering it runs exactly like ubuntu installed ona fresh partition.. it is like mount an iso with daemon tools | 01:01 |
| blizzle | numus, Tbh, virtualbox *might* be better for that (in seamless mode). Just a thought :) | 01:01 |
| redvamp128 | numus: this is wubi http://mouseblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/ubuntu-804-alpha-5.jpg | 01:01 |
| ^hashbang^ | LordKenTheGreat: ok, sounds like either a MB or memory issue. try running the memtest | 01:02 |
| LordKenTheGreat | Ok. | 01:02 |
| numus | redvamp128 NO.. that is the wubi installer | 01:02 |
| numus | redvamp128 wubi runs after bios when you select the wubi bootloader | 01:02 |
| LordKenTheGreat | Rebooting into memtest now... | 01:03 |
| blizzle | numus, Storing your entire filesystem in a single windows file is risky, to say the least. | 01:03 |
| ^hashbang^ | numus: if ubuntu is running along side of windows, then it's not running exactly like a fresh ubuntu install. for one, are not using a native ext3 filesystem which is by far faster than isofs | 01:03 |
| Newb | Anyone able to help a new person with an install | 01:03 |
| wolter | hey bernz_, i know i said i knew how to partition, but i don't really know if i need to backup when expanding partitions.. do i? | 01:03 |
| LordKenTheGreat | ^hashbang^: I am currently running the test from the LiveCD. I will report back when it is complete. | 01:04 |
| blizzle | numus, And, yes, there's also the poorer fs performance over native linux as ^hashbang^ mentioned. | 01:04 |
| numus | ^hashbang^ it is a virtual ext3 partition... ubuntu thinks it is an ext3 partition and asks just like it | 01:04 |

| blizzle | numus, I've compared the two on the same system. wubi feels slower. | 01:04 |
| Newb | Anyone available to help? | 01:05 |
| numus | blizzle what system setup | 01:05 |

| Newb | I am really busy and I don't have a lot of time to learn a new OS, what is the easiest install of Linux to use | 01:17 |
| wolter | ^hashbang^: thanks, you gave me confidence to do it =D i guess ill be off for a while | 01:17 |
| blizzle | redvamp128, Sure, gksudo (or alt+f2) always useful :) | 01:17 |
| Newb | I am so glad you guys are here though, thank you so much | 01:17 |
| ^hashbang^ | wolter: ok cheers and good luck | 01:17 |
| blizzle | unop, substitute user. Ah, ok. Guess my info is corrupt. *laugh* | 01:18 |
| ElCapitan | Yesterday everything was fine, today all my titel bars are missing, my second HD is not automounting and when it does its not showing my folders in Places like I had them arranged, any ideas? | 01:18 |
| numus | updating to beta software was a baddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd idea | 01:18 |
| ^hashbang^ | Newb: ubuntu is very easy to learn for the most part... any issues you have, the channel is here and always remember. Google.com is your best friend =) | 01:18 |
| Newb | I tried searching | 01:18 |
| ^hashbang^ | numus: hench the word "beta" | 01:18 |
| numus | ^hashbang^ if i disable the beta repo will all my software revert back to stable | 01:19 |
| Krypton | hi, umm does anyone know why my wine can't run games at full screen like urban terror and halo? | 01:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 01:19 |
| ^hashbang^ | numus: hmm, not if the packages have already been updated | 01:19 |
| blizzle | numus, Do you meant jaunty? | 01:19 |
| bartek_ | Elcapitain: check priviledges in your home folder | 01:19 |
| numus | naa i enabled the prerelease repo | 01:19 |
| blizzle | numus, Or do you mean "proposed updates"? | 01:19 |
| LordKenTheGreat | ^hashbang^: Memtest passed. | 01:19 |
| nDuff | Krypton, first, does the site at winehq.com say those games are expected to work? | 01:19 |
| numus | and unsupported updates | 01:19 |
| nDuff | Krypton, second, is 3D acceleration working right for native games? | 01:20 |
| LordKenTheGreat | I'll see if my attempt at blacklisting the acx module works. | 01:20 |
| redvamp128 | Krypton: Ask in #winehq as well | 01:20 |
| numus | blizzle which was a bad idea.. i knew it before i clicked them.. but i cant stop myself | 01:20 |
| Krypton | how do I know if 3d accel. is not working right? | 01:20 |
| ^hashbang^ | Krypton: last I checked wine wasn't the best thing to run big 3dfx windows games. try crossover for linux | 01:20 |
| blizzle | numus, so disable the repos and reinstall everything. job done :) | 01:20 |
| Krypton | also, why cant i run urban terror naitvely? I have to use wine. | 01:20 |
| ^hashbang^ | LordKenTheGreat: well, that's a good sign... | 01:20 |
| numus | blizzle if i do a apt-get update and upgrade will it revert everything? | 01:20 |
| Krypton | I downloaded the zip like they said but there is no file for .deb | 01:20 |
| Newb | you guys are great | 01:20 |
| LordKenTheGreat | I'll report back if it resolves the problem. | 01:20 |
| Newb | Thanks for everything | 01:21 |
| LordKenTheGreat | Thanks for helping! | 01:21 |
| redvamp128 | Krypton: here is the deb for the game Ubuntu Software Search <http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=urban> | 01:21 |
| numus | blizzle nope it wont | 01:21 |
| blizzle | numus, No. You have to resort to command line kungfu. | 01:21 |
| redvamp128 | Krypton: oops sorry here is the link Urban Terror <http://www.getdeb.net/app/Urban+Terror> | 01:21 |
| numus | blizzle NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO | 01:21 |
| redvamp128 | Krypton you need the first two on the list | 01:21 |
| numus | blizzle i will just use this unsupported stuff till fixes come out | 01:21 |
| ^hashbang^ | Krypton: if you are downloading windows games to play on linux, then it's best that you either 1. not play windows games on linux, or 2. get crossover for linux to run the windows games, or 3. get games that run under linux and that were made for linux =) problem solved | 01:22 |
| Toto | that asla the lewing frouch ! | 01:22 |
| blizzle | numus, I'm running jaunty. It works well enough. | 01:22 |
| Krypton | yes, they said urban teror was linux native but I cant find a file that runs str8 from linux | 01:23 |
| redvamp128 | Krypton: here it is Urban Terror <http://www.getdeb.net/app/Urban+Terror> | 01:23 |
| ^hashbang^ | Krypton: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Urban+Terror this link has it | 01:23 |
| ^hashbang^ | redvamp128: I copied your line =) | 01:24 |
| numus | blizzle still trying to figure out if it is possible to access the primary ntfs partition while booted onto a virtual ext3 partition.. probably will take me most of tomorrow at work to figure out the shortcut | 01:24 |
| Krypton | yes but do i have to redownload the whole urban terror or just the >1 MB file | 01:24 |
| ^hashbang^ | Krypton: the whole game | 01:24 |
| blizzle | numus, sudo apt-get install ntfs-config | 01:24 |
| redvamp128 | Krypton: you need both files-- | 01:24 |
| ^hashbang^ | Krypton: it was compiled to run under linux | 01:24 |
| Krypton | will it go faster than the one on wine? | 01:25 |
| numus | blizzle did that.. but ntfs tools shades out to uncheckable internal drives | 01:25 |
| ^hashbang^ | Krypton: man I'd hope so.. I've never tried it before | 01:25 |
| redvamp128 | Krypton : should run even faster provided you have ATI/NVidia Drivers installed ... but yes should run faster. | 01:25 |
| blizzle | numus, try running as sudo from a command line. | 01:25 |
| numus | blizzle i did.. it is already installed | 01:25 |
| obf213 | my sftp doesnt work | 01:26 |
| numus | ntfs-config is already the newest version. | 01:26 |
| obf213 | with nautilus | 01:26 |
| ^hashbang^ | obf213: ? what do you mean? explain | 01:27 |
| blizzle | numus, check /media/ for signs of a windows partition. also: man mount and apt-cache search ntfs are commands to try. | 01:27 |
| obf213 | ^hashbang^, it alwasy says "error wehn logging in" or it says "timed out" or soemthing. | 01:27 |
| obf213 | i can't get to my afs folder its a nuisance. | 01:28 |
| ^hashbang^ | obf213: what's the command u are using? | 01:28 |
| * blizzle disappears for quite some time. | 01:28 | |

| * ^hashbang^ needs to take a rest, I'll see you all tomorrow... | 01:31 | |
| numus | that is just the swap drive and the primary ubuntu partition | 01:31 |
| numus | i didnt read the block size correct lol | 01:31 |
| numus | interesting how it is using the full 320.. when wubi is limited to like 20 gigs | 01:31 |

| Jeaton | how do I move all files(not the directory) into another directory? | 01:37 |
| numus | fxhp what is the command for that | 01:37 |
| numus | fxhp to open a folder in launcher | 01:37 |
| linuxman410 | does anyone know if the non dual cores will run a 64 bit operating system | 01:37 |
| ElCapitan | bartek, I didnt see what you were talking about but Crossover is software that lets you use Windows apps/ games on Linux | 01:37 |
| numus | ok here is a good one.. remotedesktop client.. how do you minimize that stupid thing | 01:39 |
| Newb | One other question | 01:40 |
| Newb | I have an old Dazzle Video capture device | 01:40 |
| Newb | Anyone ever heard of a driver for it and MythTV? | 01:40 |
| fxhp | numus: nautilus path | 01:40 |

| fxhp | nautilus / | 01:41 |
| redvamp128 | Newb: I would have to research the Dazzle part but that is mythtv (mythbuntu) | 01:41 |
| numus | fxhp ya got that part.. i forgot nautilus.. ever use remotedesktop client? | 01:42 |
| Newb | Ok | 01:42 |
| fxhp | numus: yes, what about it? | 01:42 |
| jrib | ElCapitan: checked /etc/fstab? | 01:42 |
| poking | ##c++ | 01:42 |
| poking | ls | 01:42 |
| fluitfries | is there a way to tell apt-get to use a different mirror? i'm stalling out on gulus.usherbrooke.ca | 01:42 |
| poking | help | 01:42 |
| Newb | I occasionally have to run windows programs like Corel Draw | 01:42 |
| numus | fxhp how do you minimize the stupid thing without disconnecting lol | 01:42 |
| numus | ctrl alt enter is suppose to window it.. might try that | 01:43 |
| ElCapitan | jrib, I have seen more then one howto on how fstab and it just doesnt sink in | 01:43 |
| Newb | Is VMware the best emulator? | 01:43 |
| redvamp128 | Newb: | Mythbuntu <http://mythbuntu.org/> -- in the synaptic package manager it is - mythbuntu-desktop | 01:43 |
| numus | newb loaded question... some people like vmware.. others virtualbox | 01:43 |
| Newb | I am downloading | 01:43 |
| Newb | Thank you red | 01:43 |
| Tokoloshe | you can configure apt-get to use p2p | 01:43 |
| fxhp | numus: not sure, never had that issue | 01:43 |
| numus | fxhp lol | 01:43 |
| fluitfries | ElCapitan: fstab is just a list of the devices that will be mounted. each line contains the details for that mount point. | 01:43 |
| redvamp128 | Newb: personally I like -- Virtual Box not the Ose (the sun version) it has better guest additions. | 01:44 |
| numus | fxhp thankk god.. alt-ctrl-enter windows it so you can minimize | 01:44 |
| bartek_ | Elcapitain: 1st check ownerships of files in /home/username/ | 01:44 |
| Newb | Ok, I'll look into it | 01:44 |
| Newb | Thank you all | 01:44 |
| ElCapitan | fluitfries, what am I looking for? I know the Windows partition is at /media/disk and my second hdd is /media/disk-1 but it supposed to just be disk | 01:44 |
| numus | oh god.. i think my old dell 8250 server just crashed for the 2nd time in 2 days | 01:45 |
| BotLobsta | does anyone know why i cant directly access my hard drives even though im part of the disk group? | 01:45 |
| numus | i have already restructured the drive and installed windows xp pro on it like 3 times in the past 2 days | 01:45 |
| redvamp128 | Newb: Look at the bottom of the page-- Linux_Downloads - VirtualBox <http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads> | 01:45 |
| ElCapitan | fluitfries I just unmounted the windows partition so /media/disk is free right now | 01:45 |
| albertus | help me, i have ubuntu 8.10. i have instaled apache anda php4 but when i try open php in browser will show like this http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e283/ardantus/stats.jpg can anyone help me why this happen? | 01:45 |
| fluitfries | ElCapitan: sudo fdisk -l to see all of your hdd devices. then sudo nano /etc/fstab and add a line for the device you want to mount. look at the file itself to see how to structure the line. | 01:45 |
| redvamp128 | Newb: I would also suggest-- installing Dkms in addition to the Virtual Box.... it will make kernel updates easier without having to reconfigure virtual box each time. | 01:45 |
| redvamp128 | !dkms | Newb: | 01:46 |
| ubottu | Newb:: DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module Support. See https://launchpad.net/dkms for more. | 01:46 |

| === rachel is now known as Guest32810 | ||
| Tokoloshe | Why not p2p with apt-get, should be fast | 01:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | fluitfries: open synaptic... then settings/repositories.. then where it says "download from".. choose the server you want. | 01:48 |
| fluitfries | IndyGunFreak: im stuck with a console right now. :P | 01:49 |
| ElCapitan | fluitfries my second hd is /dev/sdb so I want to add that to /etc/fstab as /media/disk? | 01:49 |
| Jeaton | how do you view what devices you currently have mounted? | 01:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | fluitfries: oh... sorry.. not sure how to do it via command line | 01:49 |
| _2 | ElCapitan "/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 auto defaults 0 0" | 01:49 |
| fluitfries | ElCapitan: and what kind of filesystem does fdisk say it is? | 01:49 |
| khmer42 | Our office is using 8.04 for the LTS, but have found a really annoying bug in GEdit 2.22, which has been fixed in 8.10 (GEdit 2.24). Is there a way I can update 8.04 to use GEdit 2.24 without upgrading to 8.10? | 01:49 |
| fluitfries | ElCapitan: you have to specify the filesystem in the line as well | 01:49 |
| _2 | fluitfries fdisk doesn't check fs type, it only checks partition types | 01:50 |
| _2 | ElCapitan "/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 auto defaults 0 0" | 01:50 |
| fluitfries | _2: that's what i meant. :) | 01:50 |
| ElCapitan | fluitfries like _2 I cant find the type there but I know its ext3 | 01:50 |
| ElCapitan | _2, just add that anywhere? | 01:51 |
| BotLobsta | Jeaton, you can look at /etc/mtab for everything that is mounted | 01:51 |
| numus | anyone know how to run compiz and watch videos at the same time? | 01:51 |
| _2 | ElCapitan in fstab yes. | 01:51 |
| RampantDingo | numus: why couldnt you | 01:51 |
| redvamp128 | fluitfries: try mount | 01:51 |
| redvamp128 | fluitfries: I think the command is just mount to list what is mounted | 01:52 |
| _2 | for the record... file -s /dev/sdb1 will list the fstype | 01:52 |
| Scunizi | can anyone verify on hardy or intrepid that open office base is or isn't installed... I can't find it anywhere which is puzzling | 01:52 |
| RantingHuman | fluitfries: I guess, you just manually change the URIs in your sources.list to a new mirrior? | 01:52 |
| _2 | redvamp128 yes or "cat /proc/mounts" | 01:52 |
| fluitfries | redvamp128: dunno but i use sudo fdisk -l religiously. :P | 01:52 |

| TML | Does ubuntu have an equivalent to /etc/debian_version that tells the Ubuntu release? | 01:53 |
| redvamp128 | _2: I like that one better as to the fact that it also gives UUID | 01:53 |
| RantingHuman | maybe write a script for it ;) | 01:53 |
| fxhp | TML : cmd uname -a | 01:54 |
| unop | !version | TML | 01:54 |
| ubottu | TML: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 01:54 |
| _2 | redvamp128 you'll like "blkid" also then. | 01:54 |
| fluitfries | yay i fixed it! | 01:54 |
| TML | "lsb-release -a" - awesome | 01:54 |
| _2 | redvamp128 or df -h ftw :))) | 01:54 |
| TML | fxhp: uname just tells the kernel. lsb-release works. :) | 01:54 |
| tanne | hello:) | 01:54 |
| _2 | TML is it dash or underscore ? | 01:54 |
| fluitfries | compiz ruined my wm, but moving all my user settings files out and creating new ones fixes it. :) | 01:55 |

| kwsn | Scunizi: uh... the one that has "applications" on it by default | 01:56 |

| danbhfive | albertus: why php4? | 01:57 |
| fluitfries | still can't hit usherbrooke even with synaptic. :( | 01:57 |
| Scunizi | kwsn: you should be able to remove that with a right mouse click.. works on my sys. if you want to remove the whole thing then find a blank area in the middle of it and try again.. if you only want to remove the "applications/Places/system" portion right click on that.. make sure "lock to panel" isn't checked | 01:58 |
| unop | timeless, dpkg -S $(which update-rc.d) | 01:58 |

| danbhfive | albertus: heh, well, it looks like you are running php5, I guess I didn't need to ask. Try this: sudo tasksel install lamp-server or sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ if you want to see the packages installed | 01:59 |

| ElCapitan | _2 hey that didnt seem to work, my fstab looks different then examples that I have seen on tutorials and how to forsome reason | 02:09 |
| _2 | ElCapitan you added the line i gave ? issue sudo mount -a | 02:10 |
| olragon | I want to deploy ubuntu over network? Which is the best method for me? | 02:11 |
| _2 | ElCapitan and note i did assume that you have a partition on that disk, there is no law that says you have to have a partition, i personally don't use them. so if it's a filesystem without a partition change the /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdb | 02:11 |

| mcnellis | my laptop has an AMD Turion 64 processor I think it's like 2.4GHz but when I cat /proc/cpuinfo it says 800MHz. I've noticed the processor is running at a high % a lot of the time and intensive websites like gmail and facebook temporarily freeze every page load so I can tell the processor is probably running at 800MHz, def not the speed it should be at. I remember i dropped my laptop once or twice, but it's been running fine for months since that's | 02:13 |
| mcnellis | happened, well besides the fact that CPU is running slow could it be that my processor got a bit unseated on the fall or something and tha'ts why it's running slow, but still running. nothing ever fails it's just hte processor runs really slow, apparently at 800MHz | 02:13 |

| jillian | hi all...i'm having a problem..i upgraded to 8.10 yesterday and i don't know if it's related but my frostwire and other programs are unstable now.. when i try to load my frostwire only a blank screen loads. | 02:20 |
| _2 | ElCapitan again, i know it can be done, and do use partitionless disks, but just to make sure we are on the same page of music. how did you format (make the filesystem) on the disk ? | 02:21 |
| redvamp128 | jillian: for frostwire you could try installing an updated version from getdeb.net | 02:21 |

| IndyGunFreak | jillian: or try downloading the updated version from frostwire.com the other thing, start frostwire in a terminal by typing frostwire at the prompt, and see if you get any errors | 02:21 |
| jillian | it was running fine before | 02:21 |
| ElCapitan | _2 /dev/sdb is ext3 | 02:21 |
| redvamp128 | jillian: for programs like that are not OS dependent -- you should download and install the new one for the new os | 02:21 |
| _2 | ElCapitan because if /dev/sdb1 is mounted. then there is "ABSOULTELY" a partition on that device. i.e. you can't mount what doesn't exist. | 02:22 |

| _2 | ElCapitan >>> <ElCapitan> _2 /dev/sdb is ext3 <<<< does NOT tell me how you formated it. what command or application did you use ? | 02:23 |
| redvamp128 | jillian: the only thing the upgrade did was update system files not programs that were compiled to run with the old os-- a newer version should make it run . | 02:23 |

| djnel | Hi, I'm using vista and don't know why anymore. I'm proficient with computers, my concern is using a newer laptop, whats the norm for everything just working fairly easily after install. My concernes would be my NIC and Dualscreen support for Nvidea. I'd have to nuke my windows partition as windows gives access denied error msg, drive passes all tests, I'm done with troubleshooting microsoft :Þ | 02:23 |
| ElCapitan | _2 my primary HDD that the OS resides on is Dual Booting Windows 7 and partioned, I have been using the Second HDD for over a year and got it from a freind and never formatted it myself | 02:23 |
| Dillizar | olragon, NICE :D | 02:23 |
| redvamp128 | jillian: though I would go into synaptic package manager and remove the old frostwire before installing the new | 02:23 |
| _2 | ElCapitan or lets go at this another way. what does this command return? grep sdb1 /proc/partitions | 02:24 |
| Webstrand | djnel, i have an NVidia card, and runs dual screen fine. | 02:24 |
| jillian | ok..i'll do that thanx | 02:24 |
| jillian | what is the best way to download the updated one...from the site?? | 02:24 |

| scrolls | pwn | 02:25 |
| bartek_ | djnel: dualscreen is no problem - nvidia-settings; defragment partition under win with some smart tool -defragler as i remember | 02:25 |

| jillian | then i'll go from there...i'm still new to ubuntu so stick with me here | 02:26 |
| Scunizi | djnel: keeping in mind that full nvidia support isn't there until after the install. but you shouldn't have a problem | 02:26 |
| djnel | Ive got the cd all good to go, only fault was couldnt shrink the partition to make space for Ubuntu and dualboot... I'm thinking just nuke the main windows, change the data to fat32 and give'er | 02:26 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as NW | ||
| _2 | ElCapitan the disk /dev/sdb is partitioned. probably contains one primary partition. you have a filesystem within the partition. you can't mount the disk. you can't mount a partition. you can only mount a filesystem. the filesystem is within the first primary partition, on the device. so mount /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/disk and be happy with it. | 02:26 |
| Scunizi | djnel: you have a partition with fat32? | 02:26 |

| ElCapitan | _2 I will try that again, I did that the first try and thought it was a mistake since the drive I want is sdb in fstab "Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes". In fstab it does not list sbd1 anywhere | 02:28 |
| olragon | JPSman: which version of VirtualBox you are using? | 02:28 |
| djnel | Scunizi: currently not, 2 partitions, both ntfs, The data partition wont shrink so I'm thinking convert that to Fat32, nuke the entire windows partition... Theres barely anything I NEED on there.... | 02:28 |

| redvamp128 | jillian: lets not worry about that-- the new should see the old | 02:41 |
| jillian | where is nautilus | 02:41 |

| redvamp128 | jillian: yes I just got back | 02:48 |
| jillian | ok...open with GDebi package installer? | 02:49 |
| Numus2 | y would my crtl-alt-enter inside remotedesktop client not work anymore.. it doesnt tab the window | 02:49 |
| redvamp128 | jillian: pm? | 02:49 |
| jillian | ?? | 02:49 |
| === Numus2 is now known as numus | ||
| usser | qcjn, find /directory -mtime 2 | 02:49 |
| numus | very strange | 02:49 |
| redvamp128 | jillian: you should see a tab appear with my name | 02:49 |
| qcjn | usser: is that an application | 02:50 |
| jillian | yes | 02:50 |
| usser | qcjn, that will search for files in the /directory modified in the last two days(ie 48 hours) | 02:50 |
| |ns|nR8 | someone tell me why ubuntu needs to send packets to 224.0.0.251 | 02:50 |
| redvamp128 | jillian click it | 02:50 |
| usser | qcjn, yes find is an applications, command line one | 02:50 |
| luser9 | qcjn: I'm no expert but I found a search app called Searchmonkey, a gui for terminal commands like "find" | 02:50 |
| kindofabuzz | when will the repos get python3 final? | 02:51 |
| dn4 | is there a way I can upgrade my current hardy | 02:51 |
| dn4 | to the latest alpha | 02:51 |
| WebcamWonder | !upgrade | dn4 | 02:51 |
| ubottu | dn4: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 02:51 |
| bartek_ | bya | 02:52 |
| bartek_ | bye | 02:52 |
| dn4 | a simple yes or no would od WebcamWonder | 02:52 |
| numus | y would my crtl-alt-enter inside remotedesktop client not work anymore.. it doesnt tab the window | 02:52 |
| kindofabuzz | dn4, read and decide for yourself | 02:52 |
| qcjn | before searchmonkey, ad rather do it with find if i can. | 02:52 |
| WebcamWonder | dn4: Certainly possible, but the official instructions don't have the upgrading to alpha part, they can upgrade you to intrepid | 02:52 |
| numus | redvamp128 i found my answer for the ntfs partition access | 02:52 |
| redvamp128 | cool was it already mounted? | 02:53 |
| kindofabuzz | i wuouldn't advise upgrading hardy to jaunty alpha, maybe to intrepid yes | 02:53 |
| qcjn | But the directory is on another computer, so it would be throught Samba,,right ?? | 02:53 |
| numus | redvamp128 ya.. it was hiding in a folder called host inside root | 02:53 |
| redvamp128 | numus: let me guess -- mnt | 02:53 |
| lasivian | how can I move a package from one PC to another, the second one has not internet | 02:53 |
| dn4 | couldn't I just replace my apt-get repositories with alpha ones | 02:53 |
| numus | redvamp128 ??? | 02:53 |
| dn4 | and then do apt-get update | 02:53 |
| usser | qcjn, you can mount samba shares with smbmount | 02:54 |
| dn4 | or will that break my system? | 02:54 |
| numus | redvamp128 nautilus /host | 02:54 |
| kindofabuzz | dn4, did you even read that link giving to you? | 02:54 |
| xnt | does anyone know how to netboot the 8.10 livecd? | 02:54 |
| numus | redvamp128 had to search root and then find host and look inside it and found all my ntfs file system info | 02:54 |
| techqbert | equery files $package will return the files installed by $package. does apt have a similar program? I understand with debs on GUI I can't see where files are to be installed | 02:54 |
| qcjn | usser, i think it's already mounted, cause i can get to it trought nautilus | 02:54 |
| dn4 | kindofabuzz, yes | 02:54 |
| qcjn | usser: i just can't make the search | 02:54 |
| techsupport | how do i stop the mysql server ? | 02:54 |
| usser | qcjn, nautilus has its own virtual filesystem, its not actually mounted anywhere physically | 02:55 |
| === techsupport is now known as orudie | ||
| qcjn | usser: ok | 02:55 |
| orudie | sorry for the nick change | 02:55 |

| auditya | i just installed ubuntu on my new dell inspiron and my wireless in not working | 02:56 |
| auditya | in the restricted drivers it shows wl | 02:56 |
| auditya | any suggestion ?? | 02:56 |
| xnt | auditya: dell insprion? is it a broadcom | 02:56 |
| qcjn | usser: it's complicated just to find the "route to" | 02:56 |
| Malformation | <bmc> wtf does ubuntu use, rc-update or something | 02:57 |
| Malformation | <blacklemon67> System -> Prefrences -> Sessions? | 02:57 |
| Malformation | <blacklemon67> oh wait, boot time. nevermind. =P | 02:57 |
| Malformation | * staykov has quit ("sleep") | 02:57 |
| FloodBot1 | Malformation: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:57 |
| Malformation | oops wrong paste | 02:57 |
| SEVILLA | if alot of my memory is being cached how can i fix that | 02:57 |
| dn4 | ok is 8.10 worth the upgrade? | 02:57 |
| jackal | orudie: as root in a terminal you can use /etc/init.d/mysql stop | 02:57 |
| dn4 | like what does 8.10 offer that is special? | 02:57 |
| auditya | xnt: yea i guess so ..... one sec ill confirm it | 02:57 |
| Malformation | i want to start a few daemons at boot-time on ubuntu, anyone know how? | 02:57 |
| qcjn | usser: i tried once, never got it | 02:57 |
| virtualuser | this is a long shot BUT, Does anyone know i how you configure ubuntu to find my wireless network adapter though sun xVM virtual box ?? | 02:57 |
| usser | qcjn, what do you mean by find the route to? | 02:57 |
| usser | virtualuser, dont have to do anything special, with 2.1 you can bridge any connection to virtualbox with a click of a button | 02:58 |
| qcjn | usser: the name of the computer, the name of the user, directory | 02:58 |
| usser | virtualuser, as long as its detected by host os | 02:58 |
| usser | qcjn, why is it so hard? | 02:58 |
| auditya | xnt: yea its broadcom | 02:59 |
| chriz | #mplayer | 02:59 |
| usser | qcjn, name or ip of the computer your connecting to, | 02:59 |
| xnt | auditya: if its a broadcom, than you are going to pull your hair out trying to get it to work in ubuntu. I swapped my broadcom for an atheros card the moment I got it | 02:59 |
| blueraven | do you guys know if those small external harddrives(fit in pocket) can be used as an operating system drive? | 02:59 |
| qcjn | ip is easy | 02:59 |
| usser | qcjn, share is the name under which the share is listed on windows you can find that out through the properties on winbox | 02:59 |
| virtualuser | usser, i am talking to you now via a wireless connection, however ubuntu's network manager dosent seem to know it, i would like to go into monitor mode | 02:59 |
| qcjn | usser: good idea | 02:59 |
| DasEI1 | blueraven: 2.5"" ? why not | 02:59 |
| blueraven | well, they are typically used as backup drives..they have sync software on them | 03:00 |
| auditya | xnt: is there any way out for this ??? | 03:00 |
| usser | virtualuser, i am not sure what you're talking about, are u running ubuntu in the virtualbox? | 03:00 |
| xnt | once I had a laptop with a broadcom card, and in the restricted drivers section I found a driver , but it needed firmware | 03:00 |
| xnt | hold on a sec | 03:00 |
| usser | qcjn, the user is the user that's allowed access to the share, ie the user under which u shared the folder on windows | 03:00 |
| blueraven | the 500gb ones are $120 now and they fit in your pocket | 03:01 |
| qcjn | usser: i know the name of the computer, the name of hte user, and the share name should be the same name as under nautilus | 03:01 |
| usser | qcjn, yea | 03:02 |
| xnt | auditya: exactly which broadcom card is it, run lspci in a terminal | 03:02 |
| usser | qcjn, ie when it mounts with nautilus you should have an icon on the desktop, ie share on storage for example | 03:02 |
| qcjn | usser: i have aname + ip | 03:03 |
| usser | qcjn, yea so mount it. sudo smbmount //ip/share /mnt -o User=yourusername | 03:03 |
| chriz | #smplayer | 03:04 |
| qcjn | usser: i ll try | 03:04 |

| Zenitur | permission denided was not a bug of ext4. I forgot exec option | 03:12 |
| VolVE | jackal: it's a few lines prior to the error, and then the message it's self (which I understand being absent if it's on stderr and not stdout) | 03:12 |
| constantine_ | I did a number on my orange desktop buttons and they disappeared from my panel! | 03:12 |
| constantine_ | how do I get those back? | 03:12 |

| qcjn | usser: ok | 03:13 |
| Zenitur | In Ubuntu 8.04 and later impossible to update or downgrade proprietary video driver. New module does not work. In 7.10 it works | 03:13 |

| virtualuser | i copied and pasted it -_- | 03:14 |
| qcjn | usser: no | 03:14 |
| VolVE | jackal: it's almost like there's some buffer that only writes to screen/file after filling X lines/characters, and when the error hits everything exists and the buffer dies before a write... | 03:14 |
| usser | qcjn, well directory name has a utf character that might be the problem | 03:14 |

| qcjn | usser: sudo find /mnt -mtime 0.5 | 03:31 |
| qcjn | usser: won't work | 03:31 |
| DasEI1 | Fragesteller:https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+question/26781 | 03:32 |
| Fragesteller | DasEI1 Thank you | 03:32 |
| jhonnyboy | how can i display folders and my computer icon and etc... on my desktop? | 03:32 |
| usser | qcjn, you can try -cmin that is specified in minutes | 03:32 |
| jhonnyboy | what's the application that does that? | 03:32 |
| DasEI1 | virtualuser: and your RT73* is on the desktop ? | 03:32 |
| lemonpledge | ayo, ive got a "tough" question for u experts. I seem to not enjoy the gaming of Ubuntu, so is it possible to shrink Ubuntu's HD and create a partition for XP (Gasp)? Thanks for your help | 03:32 |
| orudie | i just did mv dir/ /anotherdir , and the content disapeard :( | 03:33 |
| qcjn | usser: anyway, that is not that important, rare will i look for a fil in the las 5 min | 03:33 |
| usser | qcjn, or -mmin | 03:33 |
| KaBarsEdge | lemonpledge: yes, very easy, I've done it with partition magic before | 03:33 |
| danbhfive | lemonpledge: I would just use the livecd and gparted | 03:33 |
| lemonpledge | can you give me a run thru quickly | 03:33 |
| Gerinych | jhonnyboy: it's called nautilus, something equivalent to windows explorer | 03:34 |
| lemonpledge | my whole hd is Ubuntu | 03:34 |
| acidplay | cler | 03:34 |
| acidplay | clear | 03:34 |
| jhonnyboy | Gerinych: is that what i can use to place my computer icon on the desktop? | 03:34 |
| qcjn | usser: what happens if i mount another one, another share. Will ls -al /mnt work, or will i have to add a share name ? | 03:34 |
| DasEI1 | virtualuser: assuming your username is virtualuser : cp /home/virtualuser/Desktop/RT73* /usr/src | 03:34 |
| danbhfive | lemonpledge: gparted is fairly self explanatory. You would select the partition, and somehow select the shrink option. Maybe through a right-click | 03:35 |
| Jillian2 | ok | 03:35 |
| Gerinych | jhonnyboy: no, that's just a browser, youll have to add the my computer icon manually, i forget how | 03:35 |
| DasEI1 | lemonpledge: you can use gparted for that, and afterwards check fstab if you use uuids for changes | 03:35 |
| lemonpledge | danbhfive: ok, and will it be NTFS? | 03:35 |
| KaBarsEdge | lemonpledge: I've never used gparted, but if you get a copy of partition magic, it's almost self explanatory once you boot to the CD | 03:35 |
| usser | qcjn, hehe, yea btw find can do a lot more than that, its really a swiss army knife. its not limited to displaying the files that match a pattern it can execute actions on them as well, for example find . -mtime 2 -exec mv {} {}.mp3 \; will rename every file that was modified in last two days to .mp3 | 03:35 |
| Lerxst | jhonnyboy: you can use an application called ubuntu tweak to add the computer to your desktop | 03:35 |
| qcjn | usser: and for the é, would i have to put eacute or something like that ? | 03:35 |
| usser | qcjn, im not sure about e char, cant you just rename the share | 03:36 |
| jhonnyboy | Lerxst: Thank you | 03:36 |
| lemonpledge | DOes any1 else us XP for gaming and ubuntu for all the better thign sin life lol | 03:36 |
| usser | qcjn, as for mounting you can create as many directories in /mnt as you want and mount all shares in those subdirectories | 03:36 |
| jgonick | I hate to nag but.:).screen resolution question. Every user can set their own resolution. Anyone know what file holds the info? | 03:36 |
| qcjn | usser: i think so ? should ! | 03:36 |
| KaBarsEdge | lemonpledge: I use debian and XP, although, I use XP more because of all the requirements for my school work | 03:36 |
| KurtB | Hi folks. I'm installing subversion, and it claims a dependency on exim... but I don't want exim installed (I use postfix). How do I get aptitude to install subversion, but exim? | 03:36 |
| KaBarsEdge | just makes life easier | 03:36 |
| Lerxst | jhonnyboy: just a note, the application is not in the repositories | 03:37 |
| usser | qcjn, yea, i'd avoid those characters, there are still programs on linux that dont support utf | 03:37 |
| deunnero | i'm having a dpkg problem.. says to --configure -a ... i do it... and i get dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0031' near line 1: | 03:37 |
| qcjn | usser: i think i m gonna have to read about that | 03:37 |
| mxian | lemon: i used ubuntu, fedora, xp, vista, windows 7... the later 3 for work | 03:37 |

| Fragesteller | DasEI1 and how do i chroot to the dead sytem?? | 03:38 |
| j03lar50n | more specific..the eth0 HWaddr for my LAN connection | 03:38 |
| lemonpledge | oh and last question, once i install XP how will the bootloader look like or do I need to edit that | 03:38 |
| qcjn | usser: now when i name , i try to be careful of that, accent, spaces, uppercase, etc | 03:38 |
| usser | Fragesteller, mount the partition somewhere. and sudo chroot /directorywhereyoumounted | 03:38 |
| usser | qcjn, yea and spaces too, avoid spaces :) | 03:38 |
| Fragesteller | usser, thanks | 03:38 |
| usser | qcjn, use underscores | 03:38 |
| qcjn | usser: thats what i do now | 03:39 |
| qcjn | usser: but there's a lot or relics | 03:39 |
| DasEI1 | Fragesteller:you got to mount your / of deadsystem somwhere in live (if it's not automounted), then : sudo chroot /path/to/mount | 03:39 |
| KaBarsEdge | lemon: in my experience, XP will overwrite your bootloader, you will have to make a boot CD to reload it after the Xp installation is finished, but I could be wrong, it's been a long while since I've had to build a dual boot system | 03:39 |
| DasEI1 | !grub | lemonpledge | 03:40 |
| ubottu | lemonpledge: 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 | 03:40 |

| amy_ | s/Ubunut/Ubuntu | 03:45 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_ Numlock? | 03:45 |
| Jaan|Perfect | i am just practicising in vmware so that i can install confidently on my laptop in a month or so | 03:45 |
| qcjn | WARNING: smbmount is deprecated and not maintained any longer. mount.cifs (mount -t cifs) should be used instead of smbmoun | 03:45 |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, On the USB numpad, or on the laptop itself? | 03:45 |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, Hmm, just tried Numlock on both laptop and USB numpad, neither work. | 03:46 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_: Both, just to be sure, numlock is a status contained w/i the computer, not the keyboard | 03:46 |
| qcjn | what about that | 03:46 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_: Just checking | 03:46 |
| usser | qcjn, yea thats true, you should use mount -t cifs | 03:46 |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, NP, I tested that it's physically working on my windows XP PC | 03:46 |
| DasEI1 | deunnero:is there a file /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0031 ? | 03:46 |
| deunnero | not sure. | 03:47 |
| usser | qcjn, i just told you to use smbmount cause syntax is kinda easier to grasp at first, but mount -t cifs is basically the same | 03:47 |
| usser | qcjn, just replace smbmount with mount -t cifs | 03:47 |
| deunnero | http://paste.ubuntu.com/116677/ <--- is the complete log of whats happening | 03:47 |

| innociv | http://slexy.org/view/s20BFyXeWh Can someone tell me how to fix these errors on make for nginx? | 03:48 |
| deunnero | yes | 03:48 |
| deunnero | there is a 30 and a 31 | 03:48 |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, the numpad also appears to be detected via dmesg | 03:48 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_: There was no software that came with right, standard keyboard driver? | 03:48 |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, correct, no software | 03:48 |

| Fragesteller | How do i mount a file? (I have a wubi install and my ubuntu sits on ntfs in a file called root.disk, but normal mount command seems to be willing to mount real drives only) | 03:53 |
| KyleK | pan stands for personal area network, bluetooth | 03:54 |
| danbhfive | petkor: with apt-get you can add the --purge directive to get rid of configuration files. I find synaptic is easiest to locate packages with leftover configuration files. But, there is no registry. Typically, there is either a text file somewhere, or a directory of text files. | 03:54 |
| WebcamWonder | Fragesteller: Where do you want to mount the disk, another linux install? | 03:54 |
| j03lar50n | even though is says Link encap:Ethernet KyleK? | 03:54 |
| Fragesteller | WebcamWonder: That wubi ubuntu doesn't start anymore, so I'm an a slax live cd and wanted to mount it here | 03:55 |
| DasEI1 | Fragesteller:sudo mount /dev/whatever /path/to mount/to , other then ext - fs needs also the fs-type given | 03:55 |
| _VIM_ | is there a good software for ubuntu for Sony HandyCams? The CD that it came with is for Windows, wondering if there is something like it for ubuntu | 03:55 |
| DasEI1 | Fragesteller:see man mount | 03:55 |
| WebcamWonder | Fragesteller: First you would have to mount the existing ntfs partition somewhere. Lets say you mount it at /mnt/ntfs. Then you mounth the disk inside the ntfs partition to somewhere else, lets say /mount/wubi, then you can access it | 03:56 |
| redvamp128 | can someone imagebin.ca me a shot of their software sources for Intrepid... I just need to see the third party sources. | 03:56 |

| usser | Scunizi, hm why dont you just mv those 2 files somewhere outside then delete everything | 04:02 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_: USB devices will have a prefix somewhere in there name. If you want to check functionality `cat /dev/input/stuff` then see if the output corresponds with the input, ie jam buttons and see if its in time | 04:02 |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, dev stuffs? I thought you just needed to open xorg.conf and insert what you pasted at that URL | 04:02 |

| ubottu | omniax: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 04:08 |
| mxian | grep is a command line search | 04:08 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_: Sorry for this one, did you try unplugging/ re-plugging? | 04:08 |
| Scunizi | prageeth: grep gives you a grip on files | 04:08 |
| omniax | Dasel1: floppies appear broken in 8.10 as well | 04:08 |
| andrew__ | o ya and none of my gnome windows are displaying minimize/maximize/x icons | 04:09 |
| andrew__ | whats up with that | 04:09 |
| usser | Scunizi, here invoke it like that /path/to/directory/* -type d -exec rm -r {} \; | 04:09 |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, I did try that, yes. | 04:09 |
| numus | is there any antivirus requirements for ubuntu yet? | 04:09 |
| bitmonk | Hello, when my 'networking' service starts or restarts, I get messages from NTPD stopping and starting about 5-6 times, any idea why? It's very annoying.. | 04:09 |
| numus | havent been up to date on recent ubuntu viruses | 04:09 |
| Scunizi | usser: ok. this is bash stuff? | 04:09 |
| usser | Scunizi, asterisk at the end means search for everything inside the directory, that excludes the directory itself, if you dont specify it find will delete the root directory as well | 04:10 |
| usser | Scunizi, thats find command syntax | 04:10 |
| usser | Scunizi, not exactly bash | 04:10 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_: Intrepid Ibex (8.10) | 04:10 |
| MeVsTheVoices | ? | 04:10 |
| usser | Scunizi, hope im being clear | 04:10 |
| Scunizi | usser: got it.. little bash, ack etc? | 04:11 |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, What's that? | 04:11 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_: You version of ubuntu? | 04:11 |
| Scunizi | usser: yep .. being clear.. I appriciate it. | 04:11 |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, how do I check? I'm using Xubuntu | 04:11 |
| Sark | hello | 04:11 |
| RussM | Scunizi, Heheh, I wasn't paying attention, and answered your question to someone else. Looks like usser got ya anyway. | 04:11 |
| usser | Scunizi, -type in find tells it what type of file to look for, -type d means only look for directories leave regular files alone | 04:12 |
| Sark | i have playing doom but now is my mouse from xorg desktop away. i cannot move my mouse how to reload my mouse on xorg server? | 04:12 |
| Jaan|Perfect | "configuring apt" i am struck at this point, what is this ? | 04:12 |
| usser | Scunizi, -exec portion tells find what action to perform on any file found, | 04:12 |
| usser | Scunizi, -exec rm -r {} means delete recursively every match that is found | 04:12 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_: Under System-> Admin-> Software Sources there should be | 04:13 |
| usser | Scunizi, {} in find represents the match | 04:13 |
| Scunizi | usser: worked like a champ.. thanks.. | 04:14 |
| DasEI1 | Sark:ctrl-alt-backspace restarts x | 04:14 |
| * Scunizi gives usser 2 gold stars for his assistance !! | 04:14 | |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, I'm in software sources, which tab? Third Party Software? | 04:14 |
| usser | Scunizi, no problem :) | 04:14 |
| mxian | amy_: could try cat /etc/*release /etc/*version | 04:14 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_: Anywhere, does it give a 8.10, 8.04, 7.10, 7.04 ect? | 04:14 |
| Sark | DasEI1, another way possible without restart x ? | 04:16 |
| Scunizi | usser: what's the \; at the end of the line? | 04:16 |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, in Third Party Software Hard 8.04 | 04:16 |
| DasEI1 | Sark: I don't know why doom crashed mouse | 04:17 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_: Ok, there is no bug reports for anything like this, and it mounted fine, sorry, I think this is an xubuntu bug, not a ubuntu :-( | 04:17 |
| === numus is now known as Numus-the_Distra | ||
| === Numus-the_Distra is now known as Numus-Distractor | ||
| usser | Scunizi, find has quirky syntax which uses characters that can be interpreted by bash, by default before find even executes bash interprets the whole command and characters that find uses are part of bash syntax. to prevent bash from jumping in and messing the whole command find has to escape certain symbols. in short \; tells bash to back off and tells find that the command has ended | 04:18 |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, Hmm, I'll try the xubuntu channel on the off chance they might know anything, then. | 04:18 |
| usser | Scunizi, ie \; is the termination symbol for find | 04:18 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_: Sorry :-( | 04:18 |
| amy_ | MeVsTheVoices, No worries. | 04:19 |
| MeVsTheVoices | amy_: :-) | 04:19 |
| wikkedfin | is there a way to make a batch file on ubuntu to run cmds? | 04:20 |
| tritium | wikkedfin: bash scripts | 04:20 |
| MeVsTheVoices | wikkedfin: bash | 04:20 |
| Scunizi | usser: that was a good explaination.. definitely written by someone over the age of 20. If you're under, kudo's to your english teacher. :) | 04:20 |
| wikkedfin | what would i search for on google? | 04:20 |
| wikkedfin | bash scripts? | 04:20 |
| DasEI1 | amy_:I didn't follow, what are you looking for ? | 04:20 |

| amy_ | DasEI1, I'm looking to get my USB numpad to work. | 04:21 |
| constantine | I have no audio in youtube but my sound has worked before with music | 04:21 |
| DasEI1 | amy_:does lspci find it ? | 04:21 |
| DasEI1 | does* | 04:21 |
| usser | Scunizi, thanks | 04:21 |
| wikkedfin | see all i want the bash to do is run epic4 nick server | 04:21 |
| amy_ | DasEI1, It detects in both dmesg and lsusb. I'll check lspci | 04:21 |
| MeVsTheVoices | wikkedfin: Bash is a programming language that offers much more capability over batch scripts, the O'Reilly book for it is the best, if not, there are certainly tons of tutorials for BASH | 04:21 |
| DasEI1 | amy_:no need then, it's detected | 04:22 |
| amy_ | DasEI1, Any idea why it doesn't seem to work/how to get it to work? | 04:22 |
| DasEI1 | amy_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 04:22 |
| luddite | Hi - i have two ubuntu's installed on the one HDD and wish to delete the old 8.04 one. Can i delete the partition if the 8.10 (which i wish to keep) is in the extended partition? Details here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/116258/ | 04:22 |
| Wuju | Hello everyone, I am aware that Ubuntu is the most popular Linux OS. And does that mean it gets the most bug reports than any linux OS, that makes it the most stable Linux distribution? | 04:22 |
| DasEI1 | amy_: pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 04:22 |
| musikgoat|main | vbox ose shouldn't have much problems in intrepid? needing to run a centos client | 04:23 |
| luddite | Wuju : it has a thriving community. and they strive to reduce bugs. so answering yes would not be so positive. basically the os with the least bugs is the best. | 04:23 |
| DasEI1 | luddite: you can just reformat with gparted an then mount the free space somewhere to use with 8.10 | 04:24 |
| Scunizi | usser: ok.. another question. I used nano to write that command down and save the file as "notes".. when starting nano from inside my home directory I get "Error reading /home/server/.nano_history: Permission denied.. Press Enter to continue starting nano." Like I mentioned before, I'm ssh'd into my server and using screen (split) with irssi on the top and a bash prompt on the bottom (if that makes a difference).. Why am I getting the erro | 04:24 |
| Wuju | luddite: thanks for the response. | 04:24 |
| DasEI1 | amy_: url from last cmd ? | 04:25 |
| usser | Scunizi, nano_history file somehow got chown'ed to some other user | 04:25 |
| pixelated | amy_, does it work in a VT? | 04:25 |
| usser | Scunizi, just run sudo chown $USERNAME:$USERNAME .nano_history | 04:25 |
| amy_ | DasEI1, http://pastebin.com/f1c4427b3 | 04:25 |
| luddite | DasEl1 : that would free it up surely but can i delete it and move the extended onto it? | 04:25 |
| Scunizi | usser: so to get it back.. just what I was going to say.. | 04:25 |
| usser | Scunizi, yep | 04:25 |
| fbc | What's to load for bluetooth in xubuntu? | 04:25 |
| amy_ | pixelated, a VT? | 04:25 |
| Scunizi | usser: done.. worked .. of course.. | 04:26 |
| pixelated | amy_, virtual terminal (hit crtl+alt+F1) type on it see if it shows then use crtl+alt+F7 (or F8) to get back to X | 04:27 |
| DasEI1 | luddite: where is your 8.10 root ?? paste the out from : sudo fdisk -l | 04:27 |
| draginxx | Why is it whe I try the DEB_BUILD command in http://java.dzone.com/tips/32-bit-jdk-a-64-bit-ubuntu-sys it doesnt output a correct file? | 04:27 |
| draginxx | It says "No matching plugin found" | 04:27 |
| amy_ | pixelated, it doesn't work | 04:28 |
| DasEI1 | amy: did you enable bios support in your bios ? | 04:28 |
| Kikkomaso | Alright, let's pray this works... I'm installing to a USB stick so I can get it on my netbook | 04:28 |

| russ5811 | hi all. i'm trying to configure a powerline ethernet switch that whose utility will only work in a windows environment. anyone know how to make virtual box recognize a device plugged into the ethernet port? | 04:30 |
| Scunizi | nothing moving.. did I get disconnected? | 04:33 |
| mxian | if you did i wouldn't see that | 04:33 |
| fbc | usser, i didn't want anything that uses gnome or gnome binaries. Doesn't the xubuntu project include bluetooth programs? | 04:34 |
| Scunizi | just everyone stopped talking.. I have messages turned off.. did we have a netsplit? | 04:34 |
| mxian | i think so | 04:34 |

| arrrghhh | so i just installed ubuntu 8.10 on this dell gx260. another 260 with very similar hardware works fine, but this one just freezes when it boots. i can move the mouse, but the keyboard is completely unresponsive. | 04:35 |
| russ5811 | anyone know how to configure virtual box so it can connect to a device via the ethernet port (example powerline switch or router) for configuration? | 04:35 |
| DasEI1 | remu: sudo updatedb && locate >filename< | 04:35 |
| arrrghhh | russ5811, the easiest is just setting up a NAT device. | 04:35 |
| russ5811 | arrrghhh, how does one do that? | 04:36 |
| arrrghhh | i don't have virtual box in front of me, but i'm sure it's in the docs. just add a network device in the options for that particular vm. | 04:36 |
| Scunizi | russ5811: virtual box assumes you have a different OS loaded in it like windows. if windows is loaded and can access the internet you should be able to reach the router with the router ip address.. | 04:36 |
| remu | DasEI1: when I do that, it just takes the cursor to the next line with out showing me where the file is located. | 04:37 |
| arrrghhh | now if you need it to operate as a "physical" card... that's more difficult. | 04:37 |
| russ5811 | i can access the internet, however, when i plug in my ethernet switch, it doesn't detect it | 04:37 |
| russ5811 | (after unplugging ethernet connected to net | 04:37 |
| sophi | anyone please help me ... i have problem installing lgtk-x11-2.0 | 04:37 |

| russ5811 | no, it's a powerline switch | 04:38 |
| Scunizi | russ5811: why not plug the eternet switch into the router and access it through that.. should have it's own unique address. | 04:38 |
| Scunizi | russ5811: what's a powerline switch? | 04:38 |

| andrew__ | any idea how to fix | 04:39 |
| arrrghhh | niko__, even if it's possible... which it may be... with some embedded setup but either way, this is not the room to ask that. | 04:39 |
| niko__ | have an empty msi and need to install xp to it | 04:39 |
| Scunizi | russ5811: ah.. so really it should be hooked up to the router (I'm thinking) | 04:39 |
| tritium | andrew__: 9.04 is not supported yet, as it's not even released yet. Questions in #ubuntu+1, please. | 04:39 |
| arrrghhh | andrew__, this room for production ubuntu. 8.10. | 04:39 |
| Scunizi | russ5811: do the instructions give you a unique ip address for accessing it? | 04:39 |
| niko__ | it is a ubuntu question | 04:39 |
| russ5811 | well, the router is hooked up to a powerline adapter, the pc connects to anothe powerline adapter so it can communicate with the router. | 04:40 |

| russ5811 | says so on the box...actually 200, but i'm only getting 150 | 04:42 |
| zael | come funziona | 04:42 |
| zael | ? | 04:42 |
| Scunizi | russ5811: ah ok.. I get it .. you're computer won't actually "see" it in the classic sense.. it should be invisible to the computer.. just a connection to the router.. if you're not connecting to the router through the powerline adaptors then there may be some additional setup on the initial adaptor that plugs into the main router. | 04:42 |
| fallore | i am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 from a mini cd on to a compact flash ide adaptor. the install seems to have worked but when i boot i get an error saying "grub loading stage1.5Read error" | 04:42 |
| zael | nice | 04:43 |
| zael | sorry | 04:43 |
| russ5811 | scunizi, you got it | 04:43 |

| russ5811 | i don't need net connnectivity to configure this box. just need my vm to see it, so i can configure it | 04:43 |

| Scunizi | russ5811: do you have to configure each powerline adaptor used for each computer? | 04:44 |

| n8tuserf | foolz-> do a fresh install, not an upgrade, upgrade usually have problems | 04:46 |
| tonyyarusso | russ5811: Honestly, the easiest way is to bring the adaptor's with you to a friend's house and use Windows to configure it. We ended up using my dad's laptop. | 04:46 |
| Scunizi | n8tuserf: let me see if I can explain for russ5811 .. wall to internet modem to router to powerline adaptor.. move to anywhere in the house and plug in another powerline adaptor and plug the computer into that.. viola internet connection.. if it's configured correctly | 04:46 |
| tonyyarusso | Scunizi: yes, you have to do each adaptor once, but after that it doesn't matter. | 04:47 |
| russ5811 | scunizi, you got it | 04:47 |
| Scunizi | tonyyarusso: what do you actually "do" to the adaptor? | 04:47 |
| foolz | n8tuserf - yeah, I will probably give up soon and do a fresh install... I was just hoping to get the upgrade to work since I am assuming the fresh install will just present me with its own set of issues (just based on my past experiences, hehe) | 04:47 |
| russ5811 | problem is, adding switch to the existing network requires configuration.. but can't access the utils on a linux box | 04:47 |
| Scunizi | russ5811: is there a program that installs on windows for configuration? | 04:48 |
| tonyyarusso | Scunizi: I think you set a "channel" or similar configuration and a "password", so they only talk to each other, not random stuff upstream along the power grid (ie, snooping neighbors). | 04:48 |
| russ5811 | yes, i put it in my win 7 vm, but back to the problem of the vm not "seeing" the switch via the ethernet conn | 04:48 |
| Scunizi | tonyyarusso: ah.. kinda like WPA type protection | 04:48 |
| foolz | if I do choose to do a clean install, do I have to uninstall my current Ubuntu installation first, or can I just burn an 8.10 installation CD or whatever, and overwrite my current install? I have been letting my linux knowledge stagnate lately... | 04:48 |
| === Gerinyche is now known as Gerinych | ||
| tonyyarusso | Scunizi: kinda, yeah | 04:48 |
| n8tuserf | foolz-> create a new partition for the newer os | 04:49 |
| Scunizi | russ5811: I mean .. is there software that has to be installed on windows to program the adaptor? | 04:49 |
| sophi | Geri: i tried searching lgtk-x11-2.0 in synaptic but i dint find | 04:49 |
| russ5811 | scunizi. yes there is. and i installed it in my vm | 04:49 |
| houstond | Question guys, how do i check to see what kinda of video card i have, running ubuntu 8.10, also how do i know if i have the correct driver for the video card | 04:49 |
| tonyyarusso | houstond: lspci should give you that information. | 04:50 |
| houstond | lspci? | 04:50 |
| tonyyarusso | houstond: it's a command. | 04:50 |
| sophi | Geri: i have pasted log here--- http://paste.ubuntu.com/116692/ | 04:50 |
| houstond | gocha | 04:50 |
| n8tuserf | houstond -> try sudo ddcprobe | 04:50 |
| houstond | so what should i try first? lspci or sudo ddcprobe? | 04:50 |
| sophi | how to install lgtk-x11-2 | 04:51 |
| n8tuserf | houstond -> correct driver is relative if you are able to view the resolution you need, then it is working, its working or not | 04:51 |
| sophi | any idea?? | 04:51 |
| Scunizi | russ5811: could be a win7 problem.. firewall.. permissions etc.. if you can take that same machine directly to the router and win7 can make a connection to the internet through the linux host then the adaptor should also be seen.. make sense? | 04:51 |
| sophi | any idea?? | 04:51 |
| fallore | i am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 from a mini cd on to a compact flash ide adaptor. the install seems to have worked but when i boot i get an error saying "grub loading stage1.5Read error" | 04:51 |

| houstond | um heres the thing, im gettin World of warcraft on my pc, its on and running, just a lil slow. the forums said that could be cause by not having the correct driver | 04:52 |
| qcjn | can we use rsync so it --delete just on one side, the destination | 04:52 |
| russ5811 | it does, the win7 vm and a winxp vm "see" the router through firefox and IE, however, these stupid config utils don't "see" the switch when it takes the place of the router...follow? | 04:52 |
| foolz | n8tuserf, if I installed the newer OS on a separate partition, wouldn't that take up more room? | 04:52 |
| wolter | but it said as a warning that i must own the home directory and whatnot | 04:53 |
| Scunizi | russ5811: yep.. do you have more than one adaptor? if so make a switch and see if the adaptor just has an issue. | 04:53 |
| sophi | Gerinych: so i cant install those package? | 04:53 |

| a555 | yup, any idea of how to get the ubuntu cube? i forget it is sudo apt get compiz something? | 05:24 |
| Firio | Can't find any on the site u gave me afaik | 05:25 |
| SJrX | n8tuserff Hmmmmm I dunno I guess it could also be VMWare, cause it seems like CPU Usage is either 0% or 100% and dead slow. | 05:25 |
| n8tuserff | SJrX -> possibly yeah.. its trial and error kind of thing to tune it to your liking | 05:25 |

| pixelated | a555 probly 'sudo apt-get install compiz*' | 05:27 |

| a555 | i have compiz but not option for the cube, i had it before | 05:27 |
| andre_pl | i've got an external HDD that has been fscking for about 48 hours. i dont care about the data, i'm pretty sure its all trashed anyway.. but is this normal? | 05:27 |
| houstond | ok so i went to the website for my laptop and the drivers they offer are for windows only i think | 05:27 |
| Voox | a555, you could also go to add/remove type in compiz manager and install that | 05:27 |
| andre_pl | its been asking me if I want to clony multiplied locks every once in awhile | 05:27 |
| a555 | Voox that is how i originally installed it | 05:28 |
| Firio | So what shall I do? | 05:28 |
| pixelated | andre_pl, it is uncommon but is possible... | 05:28 |
| Scunizi | houstond: look in system>admin>synaptic package manager .. search for your brand of card | 05:28 |
| newmember | with two NIC cards I wouldn't set the "gateway" for each NIC in the interfaces file? | 05:28 |
| Voox | a555, if you have compiz manager, to go system->preferences->compiz manager options (forgot the name) and enable the cube there | 05:28 |
| newmember | I would just have one gateway? | 05:28 |
| pixelated | newmember, yes, for your primary inet access | 05:29 |
| newmember | pixelated: ty | 05:29 |
| pixelated | newmember, yes one for your... etc | 05:29 |
| andre_pl | pixelated: the drive has been "traumatized" a bit. tried to do some repartitioning and cancelled because gparted appeared to be frozen after 3-4 hours of doing absolutely nothing, but I think it just trashed the disk, leaving it in this sorry state | 05:29 |
| a555 | its not sudo apt-get compiz there is more at the end of compiz, i am pretty sure | 05:29 |
| a555 | yes one gateway | 05:29 |
| pixelated | a555 probly 'sudo apt-get install compiz*' | 05:30 |
| pixelated | andre_pl, then it would probly be best to wipe and redo | 05:30 |
| overlord | a555, are you talking about "compizconfig-settings-manager" ? | 05:31 |
| disappearedng | Any1 here knows anytool that I could use for offline browsing? (saving an entire site to database) | 05:31 |
| Firio | I really need the help | 05:31 |
| a555 | overlord, yes that is it the * also worked.. thank you! ;-) | 05:31 |
| overlord | =) | 05:31 |
| pixelated | a555, should have done it the first time i suggested it ;') | 05:31 |
| andre_pl | pixelated: whats the best way to do that without having to wait another 48 hours, I just want a clean empty ext3 drive again | 05:31 |
| pixelated | andre_pl, repartition it, is it your boot disk? | 05:32 |
| a555 | pixelated, i did just took a second to get back used to linux :P | 05:32 |
| mikeshollen | Is there a way to put my system monitor on my task bar? | 05:32 |
| mikeshollen | I want to monitor my CPU and RAM usage | 05:32 |
| mikeshollen | And it would be nice to monitor the video card as well | 05:32 |
| andre_pl | pixelated: no its a usb drive. when I tried to repartition with gparted it just hung for hours. :S | 05:32 |
| Scunizi | mikeshollen: right mouse click while pointed at the task bar and choose Add.. look for system monitor and "add" .. | 05:33 |
| pixelated | mikeshollen, right click task bar and add applet (?) | 05:33 |
| pixelated | andre_pl, use fdisk in a terminal | 05:33 |
| DasEI1 | mikeshollen:right-click on the panel, add prog ..., graca isn't mentionded in most defaults, might experiement with conky or gkrellm/lmsensors for that | 05:34 |
| Voox | anyone getting video tearing with intel integrated gfx? | 05:34 |
| andre_pl | pixelated: will do, just waiting for fsck to die now, its being an arse. | 05:34 |

| Voox | pixelated, its not the gfx card. 8.04 didnt have this and neither does windows | 05:37 |
| DasEI1 | none, sk8ball, I use amarok | 05:37 |
| prince_jammys | sk8ball: there are many. amarok and bashee are popular one with many features. audacious is a lighter one, a bit like the old winamp. there's also mplayer. | 05:37 |
| mikeshollen | Can I get a few people's opinions? I am possibly interested in building a Linux Lab for my school. The systems I would have available to me would be P4, 333mhz ram, 4xAGP slot but standard integrated intel graphics. These systems currently have 128MB of ram. I would like to upgrade the ram and graphics card so they can smoothly run Ubuntu, push a 22 inch monitor and game. Would you go with 1 or 2GB of ram (I am having | 05:37 |
| pixelated | Voox, check if dri is activated and using hardware acceleration | 05:37 |
| mikeshollen | P4 2GHz systems* | 05:38 |
| sk8ball | so would you all say amarok is the most popular? | 05:38 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about google dri | 05:38 |
| prince_jammys | sk8ball: it's one of the most popular ones, yep | 05:38 |
| sk8ball | you all with all your command bots dont have one with a google script | 05:38 |
| andre_pl | sk8ball: amarok is very popular. but will pull in a bunch of KDE libs if you dont already have them. personally I like Exaile (sp?) | 05:38 |
| pixelated | mikeshollen, heh are they Dell systems? then i have one here... ;') i would say put 1GB ram in them | 05:38 |

| mikeshollen | Next question, what about a video card? I could leave it with the intel integrated graphics but I assume it'll suck with compiz and games. I could pick up an FX5200 card for about $35 with 256MB ram, or I could get a 6200 with 512MB video ram for about $55. There's also a 7600GT w/512MB of ram for $110.

| sargento | Veratyr9: Nop, Ctrl+alt+backspace is for restaring graphics, killall is to close applications | 05:45 |
| DasEI1 | newmember: did you make the script executable ? | 05:46 |
| sk8ball | vera | 05:46 |
| sk8ball | goto terminal | 05:46 |
| sk8ball | ps -A | grep firefox | 05:46 |
| sk8ball | kill -9 pid | 05:46 |
| pixelated | mikeshollen, do the machines have a agp slot? | 05:46 |
| sk8ball | pid being the pid associated with the process | 05:46 |
| Veratyr9 | got it, thanks guys | 05:46 |
| radsy | kill -9 `pgrep firefox` | 05:46 |
| saurabhshah | or you could just open the process manager | 05:46 |
| radsy | lots of ways to do it :) | 05:46 |
| mikeshollen | pixelated: they're 4xAGP, would you like a link to the machine's stats? | 05:46 |
| sargento | Is there any way I can see my own PC Bluetooth password in terminal? | 05:46 |
| pixelated | mikeshollen, sure | 05:47 |
| Veratyr9 | the more ways the better | 05:47 |
| prince_jammys | you don't have to kill -9 it, unless it refuses to die by other means | 05:47 |
| newmember | DasEI1: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1523 2009-02-10 20:19 alfresco | 05:47 |
| sk8ball | prince, why give it a chance | 05:47 |
| sk8ball | just force the kill | 05:47 |
| mikeshollen | Can I take this to a IM pixelated? | 05:47 |
| newmember | DasEI1: so the script is exec, I am going to check the program folder | 05:47 |
| prince_jammys | sk8ball: because you don't give firefox a chance to clean up with -9 | 05:47 |
| pixelated | mikeshollen, sure | 05:47 |
| DasEI1 | newmember: so only root can run it (sudo) | 05:47 |
| newmember | DasEI1: I think I want it root because its in my init.d folder. I have the applicaiton running starting under a user 1001 | 05:48 |
| sk8ball | prince, as in garbage collection/memory clean up | 05:49 |
| sk8ball | or just its own bs? | 05:49 |
| prince_jammys | sk8ball: yes, and temp files | 05:49 |
| DasEI1 | newmember: ok, chmod 775 tried ? | 05:49 |
| prince_jammys | sk8ball: stuff it would clean up if killed with less radical signals | 05:49 |
| houstond | ok i've searched the toshiba website and googled. i cant find out where to download my video card driver for linux | 05:49 |
| prince_jammys | sk8ball: kill -9 is like throwing a grenade at it ;) | 05:50 |
| sk8ball | doesnt the kernel end up cleaning up stray garbage at some point? | 05:50 |
| nick|here | i have 3 gateways on my subnet. (192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3) can i use three of them at the same time as a one connection? (merging their bandwiths in to one big pipe) ? | 05:50 |
| houstond | can someone point me in the right direction? | 05:50 |
| newmember | DasEI1: good thought, I changed the permisions on the folder the program was in and it worked | 05:51 |
| meshuggah | houstond : what is your videocard? | 05:51 |
| zloog | Anyone ever heard of Data.Data? | 05:51 |
| DasEI1 | !yay | newmember | 05:51 |
| ubottu | newmember: Glad you made it! :-) | 05:51 |
| Scunizi | houstond: stop thinking that you have to be on the web to get the driver for your card.. It may already be available in ubuntu just not activated yet.. let meshuggah know what kind of card and he can probably help you. | 05:52 |

| kyledr | what should i install to make mplayer work better with video? i'm using opengl as an output driver but it's slow | 05:55 |
| ras2 | ok | 05:55 |
| sk8ball | prince, memory wise | 05:55 |
| ras2 | the system ccannot connect to the net itried ipup --force | 05:55 |
| ras2 | but also not thing | 05:55 |
| prince_jammys | sk8ball: probably, but you rarely have to kill -9. the kernel's not going to delete temporary dirs and files, or whatever other crap the program would otherwise take care of before quitting | 05:56 |
| sk8ball | prince, well of course | 05:56 |
| ras2 | how can i connect to the net through terminal to fix my problems | 05:56 |
| sk8ball | but firefox conviniently enough will do that for you on next execution | 05:56 |
| prince_jammys | sk8ball: if the program will only quit with kill -9, it's usually a crap program | 05:56 |
| sk8ball | prince, do you use firefox? | 05:57 |
| newmember | ras2: did you install the sshd server? | 05:57 |
| prince_jammys | sk8ball: not any more. i use opera | 05:57 |
| ras2 | id do not know | 05:57 |
| ras2 | but ithink yes | 05:57 |
| sk8ball | who has the highest acid test scroe these days | 05:58 |
| sk8ball | any idea prince? | 05:58 |

| yossarian | i get this error in the terminal when running wine-doors after the program seemingly starts: | 06:17 |
| XDS2010 | KronicKoh: Depends on your hardware. | 06:17 |
| KronicKoh | Ive got kubuntu 8.10, unbunto studio 8.10, 65studio | 06:17 |

| XDS2010 | KronicKoh: I've been playing with Mythdora I like it | 06:18 |
| quibbler | KronicKoh: http://distrowatch.com/ | 06:18 |

| XDS2010 | SLAX is always good too KronicKoh | 06:18 |
| prince_jammys | yossarian: it's a python error. | 06:18 |
| XDS2010 | yeah check out the distro site | 06:18 |
| yossarian | prince_jammys: what can i do? | 06:18 |
| KronicKoh | I've finally got to the point where I can use LINUX as an OS | 06:18 |
| KronicKoh | but now I'm going to mainly focus on how to properly record audio in linux | 06:18 |
| KronicKoh | w00000t | 06:18 |
| KronicKoh | =D | 06:18 |
| prince_jammys | yossarian: most likely some error in the code of the prog, or maybe you're invoking it with wrong params | 06:18 |
| yossarian | prince_jammys: are you familiar with wine-doors? | 06:19 |
| prince_jammys | yossarian: not at all | 06:19 |

| JPSman | so, i am an idiot, I just looked at my system startup setting and saw that i have EM64T capable processor. How can I test this? do I have to download another version of Ubuntu 64-bit and run a live CD? | 06:21 |
| qike006 | 请问一下使用XUbuntu的朋友，怎样使后来新建的的用户与安装时建的用户功能相同？ | 06:24 |
| quibbler | !cn | 06:25 |
| ubottu | For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 06:25 |
| JPSman | what benefits do 64bit have to offer? | 06:25 |
| Flannel | JPSman: for 'regular people'? More address space for RAM | 06:26 |
| JPSman | Flannel - yeah, I suppose I am a regular person. What does it offer for processing speed? | 06:27 |
| simone | hey | 06:28 |
| patmanpato | hi | 06:28 |
| simone | i'm trying out intrepid | 06:28 |
| bullgard4 | Synaptic: "The scripts in the DEB program package 'initscripts' initialize a standard #debian GNU/Linux system at boot time and finalize it at halt or reboot time." How is halt time defined? | 06:28 |
| Flannel | JPSman: No (well, not directly), but with the wider datawidth, you can do larger computations faster, and also the architecture itself has a number of improvements, lack of register starvation, etc. But for the stuff most people do, the biggest benefit is that you have have more RAM (more than 3.2ish GB) | 06:28 |
| simone | glad they solved smb and geforce4 problems | 06:28 |
| patmanpato | i have an external ext3 hard drive, and i was wondering what the easiest way to mount it is, so that regular users can have write access to it, any one have any ideas? | 06:28 |
| simone | but i notice it's quite cpu consuming!! | 06:28 |
| JPSman | Flannel - right now I have 2 gigs, so your saying that it would increase the ram and address registration because it has a "wider" path than 32 bit? | 06:29 |
| ice_cream | Flannel, 32bit os is limited to only 3.2 ? thought it could handle closer to 4 | 06:31 |
| JPSman | yeah, I decided against it, I dont know what programs i would be running that can use 64 bit anyhow | 06:32 |
| sophi | hi icecream | 06:32 |
| sophi | hi ice_cream | 06:32 |

| sophi | anyone help me i am getting error: gdk/gdkkeysyms.h: No such file or directory | 06:39 |
| aaditya | amerinese: if it's for personal use, consider using sftp (ssh) | 06:39 |
| amerinese | i'd like windows users to be able to look at it like a regular folder, not something that requires a different method of interaction like ftp | 06:39 |
| sophi | If anyone could shed some light on this I would be very grateful | 06:40 |
| aaditya | amerinese: there are free tools available that make sftp look like windows drives | 06:40 |
| aaditya | If i change a user's default shell to something like /bin/false, will it prevent the user from logging into Gnome via GDM? | 06:40 |
| amerinese | aaditya: is samba something used for situations like this? | 06:41 |
| amerinese | or is that a local thing? | 06:41 |
| amerinese | aaditya: that sounds workable, but not as ideal as it does require an extra step for each user to install something | 06:41 |
| amerinese | but i appreciate the suggestion | 06:41 |
| aaditya | amerinese: if you're trying to share it on a LAN, then go for samba. i'm not sure if samba is safe enough to be exposed on the internet | 06:42 |

| Canaen | I'm trying to come up with a solution for running Photoshop on Ubuntu. I've heard that under WINE, CS2 works pretty well, and CS3 and CS4 are coming up. Crossover Linux (codeweavers) says they run it perfect. Is there that much of a difference? Does anyone run Photoshop (any version)? I'm on Ubuntu 8.10, intrepid ibex. | 07:11 |
| MeVsTheVoices | bullgard4: Halt is part of shutdown | 07:11 |
| fallore_ | i installed ubuntu 8.10 onto a compact flash disk using an IDE adaptor. it's getting the error "GRUB Stage1.5Reading Error" when I boot. I took out the card and have put it into a different computer (this one, running ubuntu 8.10) and have the ability to look at its insides. is there anything i can look at to see what the problem is? | 07:11 |
| letalis | Canaen: have you tried the gimp for your graphic editing needs? | 07:12 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Canaen: The only Platinum (worthwile) CS of Photoshop is CS1, its the only guaranteed work with WINE, use gimp... | 07:12 |
| letalis | it does most of what photoshop does and does it without the need to emulate it | 07:12 |
| MeVsTheVoices | And its awesomer | 07:12 |
| letalis | you can even save to psd if you need to | 07:13 |

| bullgard4 | MeVsTheVoices: Shutdown is a rather long and complicated process. What part of it is halt in it? | 07:13 |
| === aaditya is now known as dragon_ | ||

| Canaen | The tools just aren't as precise | 07:14 |
| Canaen | or clean | 07:14 |
| MeVsTheVoices | bullgard4: Halt is the very last thing called by shutdown (usually) if it is specified that it should be called (-h or -H) else poweroff will be called, shutting off the computer | 07:15 |

| Canaen | MeVsTheVoices: It's based on Cube. You can get it from the repositories | 07:45 |
| Roby | ok, thanks :D | 07:45 |

| crdlb | and look for the entry that says 802.11 | 08:53 |
| hemanth | mandrig, any links on howto ? | 08:53 |
| Firio | And then? | 08:54 |
| hemanth | mandrig, is it possible to setup a webserver on a dynamic ip | 08:54 |
| mak_ | try out with Ephiphany web browser | 08:54 |
| mandrig | hemanth: Its pretty self explanatory, http://dyndns.org | 08:54 |
| crdlb | Firio: then tell us what it says :) (just the one line) | 08:54 |
| hemanth | mak_, i m able to use localhost : 8080 | 08:54 |
| Firio | i'll try | 08:54 |
| hemanth | mak_,but not <my_ip> : 8080 | 08:54 |
| hemanth | mandring , seeing :) | 08:55 |
| mandrig | hemanth: Basically they give you a subdomain, like whateveryouwant.takenfromalist.com | 08:55 |
| hemanth | mandrig, ok then | 08:55 |
| mandrig | hemanth: so then you could type, in a browser, ftp://whateveryouwant.takenfromalist.com and browse your files | 08:55 |
| hemanth | mandrig, will my machine be a server | 08:55 |
| Firio | When I typed it,i got this message: 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP67 Ethernet (rev a2) | 08:55 |
| === atomix is now known as flatbroke | ||
| mandrig | hemanth: Assuming you have apache2, an ftp-server, and ddclient installed, yes | 08:56 |
| hemanth | mandrig, me not on static ip | 08:56 |
| hemanth | mandrig, yes | 08:56 |
| mandrig | hemanth: you'll have to install ddclient, which is a dyndamic dns updater | 08:56 |
| crdlb | Firio: ok that's your ethernet (wired) chip | 08:56 |
| hemanth | mandrig, i need tomcat as i do java | 08:56 |
| Firio | So how do i use the wireless then? | 08:57 |
| hemanth | mandrig, ok , then i can use , my_ip:port | 08:57 |
| mandrig | hemanth: so, sudo apt-get install ddclient and it will prompt you for your info | 08:57 |
| hemanth | mandrig, in any browser anyhwere on earth | 08:57 |
| Firio | Any driver I can install or something? | 08:57 |
| mandrig | hemanth: yep, but you'll have a nameserver you can use instead, like http://hemanth.linuxisgreat.org | 08:57 |
| crdlb | Firio: put the full output of 'lspci' on a pastebin such as http://paste.ubuntu.com | 08:58 |
| primski | Intrepid NetworkManager - can I tell it to use a custom wpa_supplicant.conf file? | 08:58 |
| hemanth | mandrig, ok :) , now ddclinet is asking me | 08:58 |
| hemanth | dns service provider | 08:58 |
| Ethos | how do I enable write access on samba? | 08:58 |
| crdlb | Firio: we still don't know which wireless card you have | 08:59 |
| Ethos | I have "read only = no" on the share config in smb.conf | 08:59 |
| mandrig | hemanth: you have to sign up with a site like http://dyndns.org first, its free | 08:59 |
| hemanth | mandrig, ok i m now :) | 08:59 |
| crdlb | primski: no idea; are you doing something with wpa that the nm gui doesn't support? | 08:59 |
| arcnewuss | i think gnome conflicts with my network setup | 08:59 |
| koshari | Ethos the basic file permissions still need to be enforced | 09:00 |
| arcnewuss | im used to setup my network from xterm but it wont connect | 09:00 |
| arcnewuss | actually sometimes it connects and sometimes it bugs | 09:00 |
| arcnewuss | i do: iwconfig wlan0 essid bob | 09:00 |
| arcnewuss | ifup | 09:00 |
| primski | crdlb, yes my edu network requires EAP-MD5 challenge type, NM offers only EAP-CHAP with auth type MD5 which is no go. I can kill wpa_supplicant and spawn it using cli and my custom conf file just fine. just nm-applet wont do it. the problem is, vmware doenst recognize my network device then and therefore no net in xp :s | 09:01 |
| Ethos | hmm, confusing koshari | 09:01 |
| arcnewuss | but it wont run | 09:01 |
| Ethos | I've install samba and used the smbpasswrd -a user and set a password | 09:01 |
| Ethos | although that's just for samba server isn't it | 09:01 |
| hemanth | mandrig, done i registered :) | 09:01 |
| Firio | crdlb: Here it is--> http://paste.ubuntu.com/116727/ | 09:01 |
| mandrig | hemanth: and you already have apache2 and sftp installed? | 09:02 |
| hemanth | mandrig, yes :) | 09:02 |
| mandrig | hemanth: then continue with ddclient | 09:02 |
| hemanth | ok | 09:02 |
| hemanth | mandrig, ok | 09:02 |
| crdlb | primski: well, I don't think nm can accept a wpa_supplicant.conf, but you should file a bug if nm doesn't support your network | 09:02 |
| primski | crdlb. ok thanks, i'll do that. | 09:03 |
| === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys | ||
| primski | crdlb...i was thinking...where does nm get it default settings? hardcoded? it must take somesort of conf file, no ? | 09:03 |
| Firio | crdlb: So.. Did u check it? | 09:04 |
| primski | well anyways.... i'll file a bug report. thanks for help | 09:04 |
| mattycoze | okay digital8 thanks for your help man | 09:04 |
| crdlb | Firio: yeah, you have a broadcom wireless card | 09:05 |
| Firio | Will that work on ubuntu? | 09:05 |
| hemanth | mandrig, i making a domain | 09:05 |
| bisho | /j #graphicsmagick | 09:05 |

| Firio | And then what? | 09:06 |
| zcat[1] | If I wanted to scan a USB drive with clamav automatically as soon as it gets mounted, and/or automatically remove any 'autorun' file, what would be the best way of setting that up? | 09:06 |
| masaki | um.. | 09:06 |
| crdlb | Firio: there may be a broadcom driver which you can activate | 09:06 |
| hemanth | mandrig, i did , its saying Domain hemanth.dyndns.com is not available. Transfers not allowed. | 09:07 |
| Firio | There r only two NVIdia accelerated graphics drivers listed there | 09:07 |
| mandrig | hemanth: so choose a domain thats not taken already | 09:08 |
| hemanth | mandrig, ok | 09:08 |
| Firio | And there are a Broadcom B43 wireless driver | 09:08 |
| hemanth | mandrig, I want DNS service from DynDNS.com (recommended) is better right ? | 09:08 |
| crdlb | Firio: where? | 09:09 |
| crdlb | I thought you said there was only the two nvidia drivers? | 09:09 |
| Firio | When I choosed the hardware drivers | 09:09 |
| mandrig | hemanth: Thats the service I use, and I have no troubles with them | 09:09 |
| Firio | There r only two NVIdia accelerated graphics drivers listed there | 09:09 |
| Firio | And there are a Broadcom B43 wireless driver | 09:09 |
| hemanth | mandrig, ok | 09:09 |
| Firio | These r the 3 that are lsited | 09:09 |
| Firio | *listed | 09:10 |
| crdlb | Firio: ok, so you want to enable the broadcom one :) | 09:10 |
| koshari | hemanth you can choose another domain name from dyndns | 09:10 |
| mandrig | hemanth: which service did you choose? Dynamic DNS, Custom DNS, etc? | 09:10 |
| Firio | If that is the wireless,then yes,but i have already activated it | 09:10 |

| crdlb | Firio: well, that's supposed to do it | 09:11 |
| crdlb | Firio: have you tried rebooting since enabling it? | 09:11 |
| Firio | Think so.. not sure | 09:11 |
| mandrig | hemanth: you are going to want to go back and chose the dynamic dns service, as its the only free one | 09:11 |
| n0gear_ | stewartc yes pdf reading problem | 09:12 |
| hemanth | mandrig, koshari , ok ill do that one sec | 09:12 |
| Firio | Maybe i shall deactivate it and then activate it again.. then reboot | 09:12 |
| stewartc | n0gear: I restarted and all I get is a grey box :( | 09:12 |
| stewartc | I'd google a solution if I could open a browser :) | 09:13 |
| crdlb | Firio: if that doesn't work, you could try searching for broadcom on the ubuntu forums | 09:13 |

| feintoR | Hey ,how to install ventrilo on ubuntu 2.1.4 version? who can help me? | 10:04 |
| shankhs | feintoR: sudo apt-get install ventrilo not working? | 10:06 |
| feintoR | shankhs: I don't have install ventrilo,can you help me? | 10:06 |
| shankhs | feintoR: do you know how to compile from the source? | 10:06 |
| Tokoloshe | What about synaptic | 10:06 |
| marius222 | rakudave - everything else from metacity theme works, except controls (progress bar, radio buttons, check buttons, scrollbars). In compiz settings there is nothing, that could affect these things as far as i can find | 10:07 |
| Niko_ | ventrilo has a Linux version? I didn't think it had when I went looking | 10:07 |
| rascal999 | when i try and turn my computer on at the power button it doesn't turn on for another 1-20 minutes, I think its psu, but i can't afford a new one so is there anything i can do? | 10:07 |
| feintoR | shankhs: Maybe you know tauturial? | 10:07 |
| shankhs | it has http://www.ventrilo.com/dlprod.php?id=102 | 10:07 |
| Wizzup | It's not done yet, but they are working on a linux version. I checked yesterday | 10:07 |
| feintoR | I need 2.1.4 version :S | 10:07 |
| rww | shankhs: that's a server, not the ventrilo client | 10:07 |
| Niko_ | Oh right the server.. | 10:08 |
| feintoR | yes server... | 10:08 |
| Niko_ | Sorry got a tad excited that they had finally released a client =[ | 10:08 |
| feintoR | i want great a 2.1.4 Ventrilo server on Ubuntu. | 10:08 |
| shankhs | feintoR: read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=323939 | 10:08 |
| rakudave | marius222: then it might be that the specific control-theme is not installed correctly or something... (?) | 10:08 |
| Wizzup | What can cause 120gb of space to be 'unusable'? | 10:08 |
| Wizzup | Last thing I did was to resize the partition, and decrease it's size by 120gb | 10:09 |
| Wizzup | now those free 120gb are 'unusable'. also, sorry for not putting it all on one line | 10:09 |
| feintoR | shankhs: i install this.. | 10:09 |
| feintoR | i need ventrilo server 2.1.4 but i don't know how install it. | 10:09 |
| feintoR | :S | 10:09 |
| Niko_ | Wizzup: are you talking about the partition you shrunk or the space you freed? | 10:10 |
| shankhs | feintoR: read the link and also README.txt in the source | 10:10 |
| ko1 | Wizzup: not formatted ? | 10:11 |
| pipasso | ciao a tutti italiano | 10:11 |
| marius222 | rakudave - well, it happens even when i do change the preinstalled (standard) themes. So it is not the theme installation issue. And i installed the same theme on other PC's in exactly the same way, and it worked. There is something in this particular PC that prevents theme controls to show up, some settings ovverride it (but only the controls). Is there something like global gtkrc file? | 10:11 |
| feintoR | shankhs: where you see README.txt? | 10:11 |
| Wizzup | ko1: It won't allow me to format it, either | 10:11 |

| Wizzup | Or I'm being a total noob, but I've never worked with gparted alot, mainly just fdisk. | 10:12 |
| shankhs | feintoR: ventrilo_srv.htm in this case | 10:12 |
| feintoR | shankhs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=41737&page=20 | 10:13 |
| marius222 | rakudave - could you please tell me how to temporary stop compiz to see if it is the problem? | 10:13 |
| rakudave | marius222: i don't think so... i'm out of ideas (except that themes wont work with anything running as sudo such as synaptics etc...) | 10:13 |
| feintoR | but i need 2.1.4 version ;s | 10:13 |
| feintoR | where is 2.2 | 10:13 |
| ko1 | Wizzup: not much use to myself atm but thought I'd ask the obvious | 10:13 |
| rakudave | marius222: "metacity --replace" in a terminal and "compiz-start" to start compiz again | 10:14 |
| shankhs | feintoR: do this : 1 extract 2. move to the folder 3. ./ventrilo.srv in the terminal | 10:14 |
| shankhs | feintoR: are u getting me? | 10:15 |
| feintoR | no. | 10:15 |
| Niko_ | Wizzup: if your talking about the spaced you freed from the resise did you set it a filesystem? Sorry if im asking stupid questions | 10:15 |
| shankhs | feintoR: have you downloaded it? | 10:15 |
| feintoR | shankhs no. | 10:15 |
| feintoR | See your private. | 10:15 |

| marius222 | rakudave - no, stopping compiz does not help | 10:21 |
| marius222 | its the pure metacity problem | 10:21 |
| Wizzup | Ah, I have never used anything but fdisk, hehe | 10:21 |
| marius222 | anyway ty 4 your help | 10:21 |
| ko1 | I seem to have trashed a raid one (two 18g scsi ) array is there any way to mount and fsck the individual pieces of the array ie sda , sdb etc ? | 10:22 |
| Wizzup | How did you 'trash' it, what does it say? Using mdadm? | 10:22 |
| rakudave | marius222: hmm... all themes are located in /home/you/.themes perhaps you can solve the problem by looking in there and see if the theme you intend to activate exists there and has all the parts it requires | 10:23 |
| ko1 | power cycle caused 5 errors on one drive I'm unable to mount the logical volume | 10:23 |
| Wizzup | Can't you restore it using the other disk? | 10:24 |
| ko1 | Wizzup: in answer to the question no , hardware raid | 10:24 |
| ko1 | tried | 10:24 |
| Wizzup | Right. Well, can't help then. I know nothing about hardware raid. :) | 10:24 |

| === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys | ||
| === ngfkwleg is now known as absynth | ||
| rakudave | marius222: strange... can't think of another explanation... perhaps you might try to download a theme from gnome-look.org and see if this works. if not, it if proof that something is wrong with your metacity | 10:29 |
| Wizzup | ko1: I found the problem with my gparted. There are just too many primairy partitions. | 10:30 |

| Tyrath | if you install MSN messenger 7 in ubuntu will paltalk work? | 10:53 |

| Tyrath | or is there another less resource intensive way to get paltalk to work? | 10:54 |
| OriWB | Can somebody please help me? My internet stops working over and over even though it says I'm still connected. But when I disable, and then enable the wireless connection, it works fine | 10:54 |
| ociugi | why is it root access in ubuntu is off by default? | 10:54 |
| Myrtti | !rootsudo | ociugi | 10:54 |
| ubottu | ociugi: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 10:54 |
| Tyrath | - if that's the only way to get paltalk to work, would someone be able to give me a link to install msn messenger 7? | 10:54 |
| Wunderbar | because gnome is for dummies | 10:54 |
| Tyrath | - like a torrent or something | 10:54 |
| Wizzup | Tyrath: Why not use pidgin? | 10:55 |
| Tyrath | ociugi: I don't get what you mean, off by default | 10:55 |
| bullgard4 | [man lsof] Will operating systems covered by lsof but other than Linux call structures equivalent to an inode other than 'inode'? 'man lsof' seems to differentiate between 'inodes' and other 'nodes'. | 10:55 |
| Tyrath | Wizzup: I hate GUI messenger clients, the only reason i need paltalk is cause i need to communicate over audio with others in a company that seems to favor paltalk | 10:55 |
| Wunderbar | you can't access root unless you sudo apt etc...is what he means | 10:55 |
| OriWB | Can somebody please help me? My internet stops working over and over even though it says I'm still connected. But when I disable, and then enable the wireless connection, it works fine | 10:55 |
| Wizzup | ociugi: because the root account can be dangerous. I don't know the exact reasons, but if you really want a root termina, try sudo -s -H | 10:56 |
| rww | Tyrath: Per http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3824 , you probably won't have much luck with it. | 10:56 |
| ociugi | <Tyrath> i mean it is not available to use the root account | 10:56 |
| Wizzup | Tyrath: You could always try and see if it works in wine | 10:56 |
| rww | ociugi: because "sudo" does everything you'd want to do with the root account, and is more secure. | 10:56 |
| Tyrath | ociugi: have you tried sudo su ? | 10:57 |
| Tyrath | ociugi: that puts you into root | 10:57 |
| Tyrath | ociugi: and if you're lazy bind an alias and stick it in .bash_aliases | 10:57 |
| rww | Tyrath: sudo -i is preferred for that | 10:57 |

| PodMan99a | gfather: is disk full (df -kh) and are permissions on home directory correct | 11:05 |
| pixelfairy | gajop: if you know it worked in windows, then it must be an hdparm issue. i would try bsd just to make sure | 11:05 |
| ociugi | <Tyrath> what am i doing? | 11:05 |
| gajop | pixelfairy: perhaps it's just a bug in the kernel? had some issues with this PC and kernel before, wouldn't be surprised if it's the same level of stuff again | 11:05 |
| Tyrath | ociugi: you have you do that in .bash_aliases or .bashrc. Otherwise it will only exist for the session you are in | 11:05 |
| ushills | Can anyone tell me what this error means in logwatch. | 11:05 |
| ociugi | <Tyrath> sorry for my ignorance | 11:06 |
| rww | kjell: specifically, you'll want to start with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers and the various links off of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | 11:06 |
| gajop | pixelfairy: can you suggest any knoppix like BSD distro? something I can easily use to test this | 11:06 |
| Tyrath | ociugi: basically what that means is if you do it in terminal, but not in vim, the alias will only exist until you shut the terminal | 11:06 |
| pixelfairy | gajop: it could be, or in the disk. sometimes linux pays attention to things that windows ignores, so those things work in winodws and not linux | 11:06 |
| gfather | <PodMan99a where should i past the info , pastebin ? | 11:06 |
| ociugi | <Tyrath> ok | 11:06 |
| pixelfairy | gajop: frisbie | 11:06 |
| ushills | gnome-keyring-daemon: couldn't lookup pkcs11 component setting: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyAutolaunch error: X11 i | 11:06 |
| Firio | What shall I write in "Terminal",if i want to install other stuff? Do I have to know what to write or can I write anything? | 11:06 |
| PodMan99a | gfather: yea i use pastebin.ca | 11:06 |
| kjell | rww: Thanks a lot | 11:06 |
| gfather | ok | 11:06 |
| Tyrath | ociugi: the .bashrc file contains the settings for what is termed the bourne shell or bash which you use the terminal to interface with | 11:07 |
| Jonathan_L | I want to know if there is an APT channel - I want to know if there is some kind of web interface or portable Windows client for APT, but I can't find an active APT channel to ask in | 11:07 |
| gajop | pixelfairy: k, thanks, ill check it out | 11:07 |
| Tyrath | ociugi: let me know if you have any problems | 11:07 |
| Tyrath | anyhow back to my dilemma... | 11:07 |
| ociugi | <Tyrath> ok tnx | 11:07 |
| Tyrath | anyone know how to get paltalk to work on linux? | 11:07 |
| Tyrath | make that, ubuntu | 11:07 |
| absynth | Firio: you can search after proggs with apt-cache search <name> | 11:07 |
| gfather | http://pastebin.ca/1333934 PodMan99a | 11:07 |
| pixelfairy | gajop: spelled it wrong, its freesbie | 11:08 |
| gajop | pixelfairy: ok, found it, ty | 11:08 |
| Jonathan_L | I really "need" it. I've got a dual-booting laptop with Ubuntu and Vista, got no working WLAN on Ubuntu and no internet connection at all at home. Thus I really want an APT client that runs without Linux involved on the school computers (I've got an USB-flash drive) | 11:08 |
| Tyrath | !paltalk | 11:08 |
| PodMan99a | gfather: /home is 100% used!!... remove some old tat or move it else where and that will work | 11:08 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about paltalk | 11:08 |
| Tyrath | !info paltalk | 11:09 |
| Firio | So I just write sudo apt- and then with a thing I want to search? | 11:09 |
| ubottu | Package paltalk does not exist in intrepid | 11:09 |

| omnz0r | Hi, I have sort of a weird issue. I have a MySQL server running on intrepid, and trying to use it on another machine. Trouble is, I can't connect. On the machine with intrepid, I try to telnet localhost port 3306, goes fine. When i try and telnet the public ip and port 3306, connection is refuesd. I havn't messed with iptables, or anything like that. Do anyone have any clue as to why I can't connect? | 11:09 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mIRC | 11:10 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: interference may be causing your wireless to drop out | 11:10 |
| Wizzup | Small question - requires only a very quick answer. Can installing kde make things messy? | 11:10 |
| rww | Tyrath: you can send private messages to ubottu with "/msg ubottu message" (e.g. "/msg ubottu info packagename") if you're looking for something. | 11:10 |

| ubottu | Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. | 11:10 |
| absynth | ^^ | 11:10 |
| JEEBcz | Irssi <3 | 11:10 |
| OriWB | Tyrath: what do you mean chaning channel? | 11:10 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: ifconfig should give you a connection rate, or a noise reading | 11:10 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: go for a channel with less noise | 11:11 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: basically channels 1, 6 and 11 are the main channels for wireless | 11:11 |
| OriWB | Tyrath: How do I change channels | 11:11 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: if you log into your router | 11:11 |
| Jonathan_L | No linux-indipendent APT client!? :'( | 11:11 |
| Firio | !pidgin | 11:11 |
| ubottu | The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete | 11:11 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: you should be able to change the channel | 11:11 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: this may or may not help | 11:11 |
| kri113 | xz | 11:11 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: i'm not entirely sure what the problem is | 11:11 |
| * JEEBcz goes to try and build irssi svn once more :3 | 11:11 | |
| absynth | :D | 11:12 |
| rww | Wizzup: messy how? KDE apps will show up in your GNOME menu and vice-versa, so things can get a little crowded that way, but it shouldn't break anything. You can install KDE with the kubuntu-desktop package. To remove it, see !puregnome. | 11:12 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: but if interference is that could help | 11:12 |
| Firio | So i can just download Pidgin to ubuntu without extract anything? | 11:12 |
| breakdown | yes | 11:12 |
| Wunderbar | pidgin should already be in ubuntu | 11:12 |
| Wizzup | rww: I was generally just wondering | 11:12 |
| Wunderbar | pretty sure it's a default app | 11:12 |
| absynth | Firio: ubuntu comes with pidgin ... | 11:12 |
| rww | Wizzup: generally, it works fine and doesn't break anything :) | 11:12 |
| Methleya | hello | 11:13 |
| Firio | How do I find out where the pidgin is? | 11:13 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: there could be a number of explanations. for example, i don't know if this is possible so don't quote me, but the gnome networking program could be conflicting with /etc/network/interfaces | 11:13 |
| mrjohns1 | Hi! My local dns server which only uses it self to look up can resolv external domains. why? :P I don't have any other dns servers | 11:13 |
| rww | Firio: Applications > Internet > Pidgin Instant Messenger | 11:13 |
| Wizzup | Thanks though. A more serious question now.... I just installed Ubu 8.10, and the restricted drivers come up. I choose to activate one, and it shows a download dialog with 0% for 1 sec approx, then just stops and closes | 11:13 |
| absynth | Firio: open console , type pidgin & | 11:13 |
| JEEBcz | well, technically packages always have to be "extracted", but since apt-get and friends usually do that automagically it's not a problem :3 | 11:13 |
| rww | Wizzup: do you have any updates or software installations running at the same time? | 11:13 |
| Wizzup | none | 11:13 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: possibly one could be saying one thing and the other another thing, or something like that, but i don't know if that's actually possible so don't quote me | 11:13 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: I'd generally guess the problem is interference | 11:14 |
| Wizzup | I'll try to update the default stuff first | 11:14 |
| Tyrath | OriWB: also if you have a number of people connecting to your wifi network it could cause problems | 11:14 |
| rww | Wizzup: yeah. Do all the updating, then restart, then try again. | 11:14 |
| Wizzup | Right | 11:14 |
| Noisek79 | How do I disable external disk shortcuts on desktop? I've got 3 ntfs-drives mounted and dont want the shourtcuts. :( | 11:14 |
| === ed_ is now known as Guest39439 | ||
| absynth | Firio: & means an app is independent from your console window | 11:15 |
| Jonathan_L | Noisek79: There's a tool named Ubuntu Tweak. It can disable that. | 11:15 |
| Noisek79 | Jonathan_L ok... i'll try that one | 11:15 |
| rww | Noisek79: press Alt-F2 and run gconf-editor. Navigate to /apps/nautilus/desktop/ and uncheck volumes_visible. | 11:15 |
| Jonathan_L | Noisek79: It's in the repository, in "Add and remove programs" | 11:15 |
| Tyrath | would anyone have a link for MSN messenger 7 with a heap of seeders? | 11:15 |
| Firio | Pidgin? I can also use Terminal for that | 11:15 |
| Tyrath | apparently I need it to get Paltalk working on ubuntu | 11:15 |
| Jonathan_L | You'll have to look a bit among it's settings. | 11:16 |
| Tyrath | don't use pidgin, use bitlbee! - less resource intensive! | 11:16 |
| kapipi | I wonder if anyone have bumped into a program or hack that can make an option appear in the gnome context menu of an image file, to convert that image to a set format (for instance 1024pp, jpg)? | 11:16 |

| Noisek79 | rww: You win. THANKS | 11:16 |
| Wunderbar | can anyone explain why smplayer (being a qt app) works better in ubuntu than it does it kubuntu???? | 11:16 |
| rww | Noisek79: You're welcome :) | 11:16 |
| Wunderbar | never heard of bitlbee | 11:16 |
| Tyrath | !bitlbee | 11:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bitlbee | 11:17 |
| Tyrath | bah | 11:17 |
| Jonathan_L | Noisek79: Do'h. | 11:17 |
| Firio | Oh.. first I was told I could use pidgin,now I am told not to use it.. Shall I use pidgin or wine and then put mIRC in it? | 11:17 |
| mrjohns1 | Hi! My local dns server which only uses it self to look up can resolv external domains. why? :P I don't have any other dns servers | 11:17 |
| Noisek79 | :D | 11:17 |
| absynth | Firio: you can start all applications with the terminal, just type the command for the application | 11:17 |
| Wunderbar | use pidgin and xchat | 11:17 |
| Jonathan_L | Firio: What areyou using now? | 11:17 |
| rww | !info bitlbee | Tyrath | 11:17 |
| ubottu | bitlbee (source: bitlbee): An IRC to other chat networks gateway. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.3-1 (intrepid), package size 322 kB, installed size 796 kB | 11:17 |
| Tyrath | Wunderbar: basically bitlbee is a daemon that allows you to login to multiple chat clients of irssi | 11:17 |
| Jonathan_L | Firio: You can use Mibbit (www.mibbit.com/chat) :D | 11:18 |
| Tyrath | of = off | 11:18 |
| Firio | Now? I'm using www.mibbit.com and r on this server | 11:18 |
| Wunderbar | I'll look into | 11:18 |
| Wunderbar | what's the interface like? | 11:18 |
| rww | Wunderbar: it doesn't have one, it's a gateway, not an IM client. | 11:18 |
| Tyrath | Wunderbar: it's the irssi interface | 11:18 |
| hemanth_ | ftp://hemanth.is-a-geek.com/ can u open this link ? | 11:18 |
| Firio | I think I try install wine and then mIRC into it | 11:18 |
| Tyrath | Wunderbar: you'll need to connect to localhost | 11:18 |
| rww | Tyrath: you can use other IRC clients with it too, like XChat :) | 11:18 |
| hemanth_ | i tried setting up dyndns | 11:18 |
| mib_eqdyhl | anybody has idea where firefox stores its cookies? | 11:18 |
| hemanth_ | everything is fine | 11:18 |
| Tyrath | Wunderbar: and then on localhost for the commands you don't need the backslash | 11:19 |
| Firio | I try it | 11:19 |
| Firio | Thanks | 11:19 |
| Jonathan_L | Firio: hehehe | 11:19 |
| rww | mib_eqdyhl: ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profilename>/cookies.sqlite | 11:19 |
| Tyrath | rww: but as far as resource intensiveness is concerned, i pick bitlbee because i'm convinced its very low resource intensive and it allows me to stay in irssi ;) | 11:19 |
| hemanth_ | dyndns help me !! | 11:19 |
| Jonathan_L | mib_eqdyhl: It's in the Firefox profile. ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles/profilename/somewhere_here | 11:20 |
| Wunderbar | I use xchat | 11:20 |
| Tyrath | rww: basically it fires up on boot so to login to msn, yahoo and icq all i need to do is connect to localhost | 11:20 |
| Firio | Btw.. What u recommend for me to use.. pidgin or install wine and then put mirc on wine? | 11:20 |
| Tyrath | Wunderbar: up to you | 11:20 |
| Jonathan_L | do'h, I should train on writing while reading what the others are writing | 11:20 |
| Wunderbar | Ive never used irssi | 11:20 |
| Tyrath | Wunderbar: but i love bitlbee ;) | 11:20 |
| absynth | Firio: pidgin for icq, irssi for irc | 11:20 |
| Wunderbar | is it any better??? | 11:20 |
| === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin | ||
| Tyrath | lightweight ftw | 11:20 |
| Wunderbar | cos xchat been's working great for me so far | 11:21 |
| rww | Tyrath: I know, I use bitlbee+xchat. Not really concerned about the 20MB of memory Xchat "wastes" =/ | 11:21 |
| Firio | What's differnet between irssi and icq? | 11:21 |
| hemanth_ | Port Forwarding from command line ? how to ? | 11:21 |
| Tyrath | rww: lol haha | 11:21 |
| rww | Firio: irssi is an IRC client, ICQ is an OSCAR IM client. | 11:21 |
| JEEBcz | Firio, try X-Chat first, or ChatZilla / KVirc (which looks somewhat like mIRC). If you aren't afraid of command-line get irssi | 11:21 |
| dayo_ | what is the command to print your distro version? | 11:21 |
| Wunderbar | rww, permission to private chat/ | 11:21 |
| rww | !version | dayo_ | 11:21 |
| ubottu | dayo_: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 11:21 |
| Firio | So what is best? | 11:21 |
| Firio | After ur opinion? | 11:21 |
| hemanth_ | Port Forwarding how to ? | 11:21 |
| Tyrath | rww: i wish i could purely interface with everything through a console but unfortunately due to the evolution of the web, i have no choice but to always use the GUI | 11:21 |
| rww | Wunderbar: I don't read private chats, so you're probably better off just talking to me in here or #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:22 |
| hemanth_ | fro cli | 11:22 |
| absynth | Firio: irssi is a clientprogg for irc , icq is an protocol? for chats | 11:22 |
| rww | Tyrath: yeah, I know how that goes. If I didn't have GNOME up to use the WWW anyway, I'd probably be using irssi or weechat | 11:22 |
| JEEBcz | Firio, just try which one you like the best :/ No need for wine if you just want to be on IRC | 11:22 |
| Jonathan_L | Firio: If you prefer GUI in front of CLI then Pidgin is decent. Not perfect, but decent. | 11:22 |
| Tyrath | rww: thanks to javascript especially - god how I wish the net was more javascript independent | 11:22 |
| irrdev1 | What's the status of Packagekit for Jaunty? | 11:22 |
| OriWB_ | Tyrath: What if my channel is already 6? | 11:22 |
| Wunderbar | are there any other advantages using bitlbee over pidgin than a little bit of ram | 11:22 |
| dayo_ | rww: thanks! :-) | 11:22 |
| absynth | Firio: i like irssi because i can run it in terminal, and pidgin is nice and stable with icq | 11:23 |
| JEEBcz | X-Chat and irssi are probably what I'd recommend (ChatZilla has great per-channel encoding support) | 11:23 |
| Tyrath | OriWB_: that's fine, it's generally the most popular channel | 11:23 |
| Wunderbar | also, how do I set it up with xchat, I'm a complete n00b, by the way | 11:23 |
| Tyrath | OriWB_: try the others, then try ifconfig to see how the noise is | 11:23 |
| Firio | That is what I want.. I want to use IRC.. That means I shal then install irssi.. What about extracting irssi before using it? | 11:23 |
| Jonathan_L | Tyrath: Javascript can be good - like now when I'm using an online IRC client that's based on AJAX | 11:23 |
| Tyrath | OriWB_: pick the one with the least noise | 11:23 |
| JEEBcz | Firio, on ubuntu the repositories are your friend | 11:23 |
| absynth | Firio: just #apt-get install irssi | 11:23 |
| Tyrath | Jonathan_L: don't get me wrong, it can be good when GUIs are important to you | 11:23 |
| JEEBcz | what absynth said :3 | 11:23 |
| OriWB_ | Tyrath: ok... | 11:23 |
| Tyrath | Jonathan_L: but personally I like to keep typing | 11:23 |
| Jonathan_L | Firio: Extracting before using? Huh? | 11:23 |
| absynth | Firio: then #irssi + hf | 11:24 |
| Firio | Yes | 11:24 |
| rww | Wunderbar: Open the Network List, create a new Network with the Add button, then edit it to use the right settings (like setting the server to 127.0.0.1/6667) | 11:24 |
| OriWB_ | Tyrath: I dont hear any noise | 11:24 |
| Firio | Huh? hf? | 11:24 |
| Tyrath | Firio: just take out the # | 11:24 |
| Tyrath | Firio: so sudo apt-get install irssi | 11:24 |
| Jonathan_L | Tyrath: I also like to "keep typing". I can do a lot here too. | 11:24 |
| absynth | Firio: hf = have fun ..sry bad habbit | 11:24 |
| Firio | Oh :-D | 11:24 |
| Firio | Ty anyway | 11:24 |
| OriWB_ | Tyrath: what does that mean? | 11:24 |
| hemanth_ | Port Restricted for Security Reasons , how to overcome this | 11:24 |
| Firio | For all the help | 11:24 |
| Tyrath | OriWB_: noise basically means interference - low noise = low interference | 11:25 |
| Tyrath | OriWB_: noise isn't a sound in this context | 11:25 |
| hay | hello... I would like to have a .bin file, which is now located in the tftp's root dir, in its' subdirectory (so not in /tftpboot, but in /tftpboot/something)... I have a line "tftp 0x20200000 somefile.bin" and it loads successfully, but when I change it to "tftp 0x20200000 something/somefile.bin" it doesn't load... as it shows not asking for a wrong file if I try with "somefile.bn" I think it could be some memory limitation of this .img file | 11:25 |
| Tyrath | OriWB_: when you type ifconfig it should give you a readout for wlan0 | 11:25 |

| Jonathan_L | I still haven't gotten any response about linux-indipendent APT client. I just want something that can download packages with all their dependencies so that I don't have to browse a bunch of Web 0.0.0.1 pages that lists files | 11:26 |
| OriWB_ | Tyrath: lol where's the noise part? | 11:26 |
| OriWB_ | Tyrath: meaning, how do i know what means it has more or less noise? | 11:26 |
| rww | Jonathan_L: I don't know of a client that does that. Last time I needed to download Ubuntu packages in Windows I ended up getting them from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 11:26 |
| hay | Tyrath, could be, but now this is in linux :D | 11:26 |
| absynth | OriWB_: try #iwconfig | 11:27 |
| Tyrath | OriWB_: pick the channel with the least noise, try to minimise the number of clients connected to the router and try to ensure there are as few number of metallic elements in the room as possible | 11:27 |
| Jonathan_L | rww: Do'h! Can't somebody try to create a windows client for APT? :'( | 11:27 |

| absynth | OriWB_: ok | 11:31 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: i got something else, but nothing to do with noise, or something like that | 11:32 |
| absynth | OriWB_: what u got? | 11:32 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: I'm connected wireless if that helps | 11:32 |
| error404notfound | I had a nfs share mounted, the server went down and now my system is hung, only terminal works, and when I do umount /share it says that devcie is busy. how to fix it? | 11:32 |
| shally87 | because i cannot use Host interface in my virtual machine..The one that is functioning is only NAT.. | 11:32 |
| absynth | OriWB_: me 2 ;D | 11:32 |
| shally87 | hope someone can help me.. | 11:32 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: hehehe | 11:32 |
| shally87 | #vbox is kind of too quiet | 11:32 |
| Jaan|Perfect_ | hi all | 11:32 |
| absynth | OriWB_: so why u want to see the noise level? | 11:33 |
| Tyrath | OriWB_: yeah, iwconfig is basically the wireless narrowed down version of ifconfig | 11:33 |
| OriWB_ | Tyrath: i dont know what im talking about, but could it be a flaky dns server? | 11:33 |
| Jaan|Perfect_ | is network and netwrok tools are one and the same : System → Administration . ubuntu 8.10 | 11:33 |
| OriWB_ | Absynth: tyrath told me to | 11:33 |
| Jaan|Perfect_ | i am not able to view network | 11:33 |
| OriWB_ | Tyrath: so what do I do? | 11:33 |
| Tyrath | OriWB_: not too sure | 11:33 |
| OriWB_ | lol ARGGG | 11:33 |
| absynth | OriWB_: what is the problem? | 11:33 |
| Tyrath | OriWB_: see I could be of more help if my brother didn't fiddle with the router and make it impossible for me to connect to wireless | 11:34 |
| juniecho | hi all, ubuntu intrepid problem. is there any way to permanently disable system beep? | 11:34 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: the problem is my internet stops working even though it says i am connected | 11:34 |
| Jaan|Perfect_ | can somebody please tell me the exact purpose of "Hardware Testing" | 11:34 |
| frogscott | quick question how do I join #wine-doors | 11:34 |

| absynth | OwriWB_: wich progg u use? | 11:35 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: i dont know... | 11:35 |
| absynth | xD | 11:35 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: lol how do i check? | 11:36 |
| Tyrath | OriWB_: no worries. sorry i couldn't help. that's just the way i lowered my interference when i used to be able to connect to wireless. also if you do happen to find a program that happens to display noise you'll be able to get a quicker reading by piping grep Noise or grep noise | 11:36 |
| juniecho | Is there any way to disable system beep? thanks | 11:36 |
| Tyrath | OriWB_: ie, type netstat -i | grep Noise if you were looking for Noise in netstat | 11:36 |
| absynth | OriWB_:how are u online? | 11:36 |
| Tyrath | absynth: he'd be using a wired connection | 11:36 |
| Tyrath | absynth: anyhow he said he's on wireless atm | 11:36 |
| OriWB_ | ansynth: wireless | 11:37 |
| frogscott | quick question how do I join #wine-doors channel? | 11:37 |
| absynth | OriWB_:what is your ubuntu version? | 11:37 |
| Tyrath | frogscott: /join #wine-doors | 11:37 |
| Tyrath | /join #wine-doors | 11:37 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: 8.1 i think- iex | 11:37 |
| Tyrath | - ie type that | 11:37 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: Ibex | 11:37 |
| absynth | OriWB_: k, there it is possible to give your wlan an static ip | 11:38 |
| absynth | with the networkmanager | 11:38 |
| * Tyrath can't wait till the update ibex | 11:38 | |
| * Tyrath has had so many difficulties with ibex | 11:38 | |
| OriWB_ | absynth: i heard about that, but didnt know how to get it | 11:38 |
| frogscott | Tyrath thanks | 11:38 |
| frogscott | no one on wine doors channel..can u tell me how to install wine doors? | 11:39 |
| OriWB_ | ansynth: my laptop battery is about to die, and to plug it in would probably loose me my internet, so I'm just warning you i have about 10minutes left | 11:39 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: my laptop battery is about to die, and to plug it in would probably loose me my internet, so I'm just warning you i have about 10minutes left | 11:40 |

| OriWB_ | absynth: how do i get the networkmanager? | 11:40 |
| absynth | OriWB_ : i know what you meant, but why u loose internet if u plug in ur laptop xD | 11:40 |
| absynth | OriWB_ : Networkmanager comes with ubuntu | 11:41 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: cuz the plug is far away | 11:41 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: so where is it? | 11:41 |
| absynth | OriWB_ : its the connection icon at the top on the right | 11:41 |
| absynth | OriWB_ : should load on system start | 11:41 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: oh, how will that help at all? | 11:41 |
| absynth | right click on it | 11:42 |
| OriWB_ | absynth: ok | 11:42 |
| absynth | then pick your wireless connection | 11:42 |
| absynth | it should show u your AP | 11:42 |

| absynth | yes | 11:45 |
| Wizzup | How can I check my current architecture? | 11:45 |
| OriWB | absynth: i dont understand | 11:45 |

| anonusing | can anyone help me to set up LAMP? | 11:46 |
| OriWB | absynth: i dont have pref | 11:46 |
| dotCOM_ | Has anyone ever gotten wireless networking working properly on a Dell Inspiron 1721 with Ubuntu?? I tried it a couple months ago but after all the crazy tutorials I had to go through, the password wouldn't stick... so ..... wireless wouldn't work :| | 11:47 |
| absynth | something like connection edeting? | 11:47 |
| citizenofgnu | i mean anonusing ... using xampp | 11:47 |
| cdealer | Roq, yeah, I have my host IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and want to point for that host (webserver) for another subdomain | 11:47 |
| OriWB | absynth: i dont see that | 11:47 |
| absynth | soory, my interface is not english | 11:47 |
| OriWB | absynth: ok | 11:47 |
| absynth | just under sonnectioninformation | 11:47 |
| OriWB | absynth:i clicked onthe blue internet bars | 11:47 |
| anonusing | citizenofognu, u think i should use xampp? | 11:47 |
| OriWB | absynth: right clicked | 11:47 |
| ct529 | hi! how do you add a local directory full of deb packages to the list of repositories? | 11:48 |
| absynth | OriWB: yes | 11:48 |
| citizenofgnu | it is easy to setup @ anonusing | 11:48 |
| anonusing | citizenofognu, i came in here asking about xampp yesterday and they told me i should be using LAMP | 11:48 |
| OriWB | absynth: then edit connections? | 11:48 |
| absynth | OriWB: then click on the 4th button | 11:48 |
| absynth | OriWB:yep | 11:48 |
| OriWB | absynth: got it | 11:48 |
| OriWB | absynth: which tab? | 11:48 |
| absynth | OriWB: then wireless | 11:48 |
| absynth | OriWB: 2nd | 11:48 |
| OriWB | absynth:ok | 11:48 |
| citizenofgnu | may not be ideal for production... but for learning phase and small and mid applications,its a good choice @ anonusing | 11:48 |
| absynth | choose ur connection | 11:49 |
| anonusing | citizenofgnu, okay, i can reinstall xampp then. do you know hot to open the main box for it? that's where i got stuck yesterday | 11:49 |
| absynth | OriWB: choose ur connection | 11:49 |
| anonusing | ya, that's what i thought but they were telling me not to use it | 11:49 |
| absynth | OriWB:click on edit on the right | 11:49 |
| citizenofgnu | what os are you using @ anonusing | 11:49 |
| anonusing | ubuntu | 11:49 |
| OriWB | absynth: ok | 11:49 |
| citizenofgnu | no spoon feeding... do the google search | 11:49 |
| absynth | OriWB:then Tab IPv4 | 11:50 |
| citizenofgnu | start the xampp and point ur browser to http://localhost | 11:50 |
| anonusing | citizenofgnu, i would not be in here if i found what i was looking for in google | 11:50 |
| anonusing | yes, i did that | 11:50 |
| OriWB | absynth: ij | 11:50 |
| absynth | OriWB:Method manuel | 11:50 |
| bazyl | hi everybody ;) | 11:50 |
| OriWB | absynth: ok | 11:50 |
| absynth | OriWB: adress , type the adress of ur network | 11:50 |

| quassel73 | hi, can you helpmewith this: http://pastebin.ca/1333977? | 11:51 |
| anonusing | citizenofgnu, the problem i was having was, finding a 'button' for the application, such as a way to open it... it was already running. but there is a window box, different than the local host window | 11:51 |

| anonusing | citizen, THANKS, i think that is what i was looking for... how to open the "sweet panel". thanks | 11:52 |
| anonusing | citizen, i couldn't find any documentation on that before | 11:53 |
| absynth | OriWB: when your ip is like 192.168.yy.xx then gateway 192.168.yy.1 ...maybe better | 11:53 |
| OriWB | absynth: i really gotta go | 11:53 |
| absynth | ok | 11:53 |
| OriWB | absynth: can we work on this in a couple of hours? | 11:53 |
| absynth | why not | 11:53 |
| OriWB | absynth: thanx so much for everything | 11:53 |

| anonusing | citizen, it looks different than in the windows version, and i wasn't searching for how to install it but how to open something specific so, i must have overlooked this site. but thanks! | 11:54 |
| dotCOM_ | Anyone ever got wireless working on a Dell Inspiron 1721 ?? | 11:55 |
| anonusing | dotcom, idk but maybe searching for how to get wireless working in general (i.e. on any machine) might help | 11:56 |
| silner | Is there any good reason to do a fresh install unless upgrading goes wrong. I started with Gutsy and upgraded through Hardy to Intrepid and everything has gone perfectly. I have noticed however that my system is a little out of step in using some old defaults like Alsa mixer. | 11:56 |
| silner | And I have Transmission as well as Bittorrent | 11:57 |
| dotCOM_ | anonusing: I'm trying that now but none of the articles talk about the 1721 specifically and the hardware it uses :| | 11:57 |

| shally87-2 | hi | 12:03 |
| shally87-2 | i would like to ask | 12:03 |
| shally87-2 | how to fix this? | 12:03 |
| shally87-2 | rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused | 12:03 |
| shally87-2 | [fail] | 12:03 |
| ikonia | shally87-2: you'd need to be running a bind server | 12:04 |
| brunner | what's the fastest way to record tuner input from a box that has a tuner card and an ubuntu CD? | 12:04 |
| ikonia | brunner: recording TV from a livecd is not a good idea | 12:05 |
| brunner | my friend will be on national TV in an hour, and I'd really like to record it for the youtubes | 12:05 |
| brunner | ikonia: I have a hard drive | 12:05 |
| ikonia | brunner: are you going to install ubuntu ? | 12:05 |
| brunner | ikonia: I mean, there's a hard drive installed | 12:05 |
| ikonia | or just run the livecd | 12:05 |
| brunner | ikonia: I'd prefer to run off the livecd | 12:05 |
| shally87 | ikonia | 12:05 |
| ikonia | brunner: but will you install ubuntu onto it ? | 12:05 |
| ikonia | shally87: yes ? | 12:05 |
| shally87 | that one is my setting for bind server | 12:06 |
| ikonia | brunner: then you won't get much recorded | 12:06 |
| shally87 | and i use vbox for it | 12:06 |
| brunner | ikonia: I guess I could, but I'd be running pretty short on time | 12:06 |
| ikonia | shally87: then you're bind server is not setup | 12:06 |
| ikonia | brunner: you won't get anything from a livecd | 12:06 |
| shally87 | when i restart the bind9 it appears | 12:06 |
| ikonia | (in my opinion) | 12:06 |
| brunner | ikonia: why couldn't I record onto the hard drive? | 12:06 |
| shally87 | ok | 12:06 |
| ikonia | brunner: because the OS that is used to process it would be running from a livecd | 12:06 |
| shally87 | i do the last step first then i ask if got error | 12:06 |
| shally87 | thanks | 12:06 |
| brunner | I see... | 12:06 |
| ikonia | shally87: "it appears" what are you talking about ? | 12:07 |
| chosig | i'm trying to bind meta-r (winkey - r) to run a program, but it zooms instead... is there soem accessibility stuff put on from start? | 12:07 |
| ikonia | shally87: you need to be clear about what you're saying | 12:07 |
| brunner | lame. I wish I had a USB tuner card or something. | 12:07 |
| shally87 | ok | 12:07 |
| brunner | for my ubuntu laptop | 12:07 |
| chosig | aah... i think it's some compiz stuff... where has those setting been hidden? | 12:08 |
| shally87 | ikonia: I still setting up my dns server, and i reach the part where it needs to restart..then i restart it but there is where i get the problem. | 12:08 |
| ikonia | shally87: have you set up rncd channels ? | 12:08 |
| shally87 | by the way i just proceed then i know what happen next.. | 12:08 |
| brunner | ikonia: if I can get it installed fast enough, what program should I use? | 12:08 |
| bastid_raZor | !ccsm > chosig | 12:08 |
| ubottu | chosig, please see my private message | 12:08 |
| ikonia | brunner: tvtime maybe ? | 12:08 |
| shally87 | rncd? what is that? i dont found any manual for DNS server | 12:08 |
| ikonia | brunner: I only really use myth and it's a massive overkill for wha you wnat | 12:08 |
| ikonia | shally87: you need to read all of the DNS docs hen, rncd is a key component for manamgnet | 12:09 |
| brunner | ikonia: I may actually have myth installed on the box already... just no tvguide feed | 12:09 |
| brunner | or a way to connect to the network | 12:09 |
| shally87 | ok.. | 12:09 |
| shally87 | i will search the dns doc now.. | 12:10 |
| shally87 | thanks for reminding me.. | 12:10 |
| mib_6x5hkr | DOES ANIBODY KNOW HOW TO DISSABLE WIFI EXTRA CHANNELS ON MANDRIVA? | 12:10 |
| ikonia | don't use caps | 12:10 |
| netsurf3 | extra channels? | 12:10 |
| fosco_ | mandriva? | 12:10 |
| fosco_ | :) | 12:10 |
| ikonia | mib_6x5hkr: mandriva is not supported here, try the mandriva channel | 12:10 |
| brunner | lol, I was thinking what fosco_ was thinking. | 12:11 |
| ikonia | mib_6x5hkr: and try not to use capslock - it is considered rude on irc and "shouting" | 12:11 |
| netsurf3 | or if everyone is dead there | 12:11 |
| netsurf3 | use ##linux also | 12:11 |
| brunner | ikonia: what about trying to record with a p2p app. are there any p2ptv apps that get fox news? | 12:11 |
| ikonia | brunner: no idea | 12:11 |
| ikonia | brunner: never heard of p2p recording | 12:11 |
| brunner | I've heard of it, but I might need to use some vmware nonsense to make it work | 12:12 |
| bullgard4 | [man lsof] Will operating systems covered by lsof but other than Linux call structures equivalent to an inode other than 'inode'? 'man lsof' seems to differentiate between 'inodes' and other 'nodes'. | 12:12 |
| netsurf3 | brunner, so whats the tech meant to be able to do? | 12:12 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: come on, how is that "ubuntu" | 12:13 |
| brunner | netsurf3: I'm just trying to record my friend who will be on fox news in an hour | 12:13 |
| netsurf3 | ooo | 12:13 |
| netsurf3 | brunner, why the P2P then? | 12:13 |
| ikonia | maybe take the TV record options to #ubuntu-offtopic ? | 12:14 |
| ikonia | someone may even record it for you | 12:14 |
| brunner | netsurf3: because I have no USB turner card, and no time to install ubuntu on the box that has pci tuner cards | 12:14 |
| brunner | ikonia: okay, but I really was looking for an ubuntu solution | 12:14 |
| ikonia | brunner: well you're moving beyond that now | 12:14 |
| xiaojianjun | hello everyone | 12:17 |
| ikonia | hi | 12:17 |
| netsurf3 | brunner, live disk with the tuner card? | 12:17 |
| xiaojianjun | can someone tell me how to play real media files in ubuntu ppc | 12:17 |
| brunner | netsurf3: yes | 12:17 |
| Poramet | #join apache | 12:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ppc | 12:18 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 12:18 |
| ikonia | xiaojianjun: sure you open the package manager and search for realaudio and you'll find the package you need | 12:18 |
| Jack1 | Has anyone installed red5, and does anyone know how to remove the server? Or any other way to remove a server? | 12:19 |
| netsurf3 | http://www.geexbox.org/en/index.html | 12:19 |
| netsurf3 | brunner is that any good? | 12:19 |
| ikonia | Jack1: how did you install it ? | 12:19 |
| netsurf3 | i dont know a p2p solution but that apprently doesnt need installing | 12:19 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: through a deb package | 12:19 |
| piti_ | Hi, any one know how do I mount one of raid1 disk from one computer on another computer? | 12:19 |
| ikonia | Jack1: if you do a "dpkg -l | grep -i red5" do you see any packages | 12:20 |
| brunner | netsurf3: I'm sort of giving up on recording with the tuner cards. we can chat about it in #ubuntu-offtopic if you want | 12:20 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: one moment | 12:20 |
| ikonia | piti_: sure, break the mirror, plug the disk into the new machine and mount it using the correct native cile system | 12:20 |
| ikonia | piti_: I'm assuming this is software raid ? | 12:20 |
| piti_ | yes it's ubuntu software raid | 12:20 |
| piti_ | I tried mount /dev/sdb1 | 12:21 |
| piti_ | it gives me mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member' | 12:21 |
| ikonia | piti_: was ir you where where discussing this with yesterday ? | 12:21 |
| ikonia | "was it you" | 12:21 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: do I have to insert both those command seperately, because then on the second command nothing happens | 12:21 |
| ikonia | Jack1: "dpkg -l | grep -ired5" is one command | 12:22 |
| piti_ | by this you mean mounting raid? nope | 12:22 |
| ikonia | piti_: someone yesterday had the same problem | 12:22 |

| xiaojianjun | I have downloaded the realplayer's bin file but i got a problem that i can't install libstdc++ | 12:22 |
| ikonia | piti_: basiclly you need to do a mount -t and specify the correct file system type | 12:22 |
| ikonia | Jack1: great, so now "sudo dpkg -p red5" | 12:22 |
| xiaojianjun | 3.3 | 12:22 |
| piti_ | it's ext3 so it should me mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1? | 12:22 |
| shally87-2 | how to know the bind version? | 12:23 |
| ikonia | piti_: looks good | 12:23 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d73526ca8 | 12:23 |
| ikonia | shally87-2: it tells you in the package name | 12:23 |
| ikonia | Jack1: "sudo dpkg -p red5" | 12:24 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: same thing | 12:24 |
| shally87-2 | ok | 12:25 |
| piti_ | ...[ 1177.395617] VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb1. | 12:25 |
| ikonia | Jack1: sory dpkg -P | 12:25 |
| piti_ | may be this is the bad one I'll try another one... | 12:25 |
| ikonia | piti_: are you %100 sure it is ext3 ? | 12:25 |
| piti_ | yes | 12:25 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: np, I did su dpkg -P and then? | 12:25 |
| ikonia | piti_: show me the full command your using | 12:25 |
| piti_ | it used to be the boot drive on anohter computer wihch is also ubuntu... | 12:25 |
| ikonia | Jack1: ooh come on | 12:25 |
| piti_ | sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 sdb1 | 12:26 |
| ikonia | Jack1: sudo dpkg -P red5 | 12:26 |
| ikonia | piti_: don't you have to specify and abouslte path for the mount point ? | 12:26 |
| ikonia | (I appriciate that's not your problem) | 12:26 |
| shally87-2 | ikonia: id soes not told. only known was bind9. but there is bind 9.4, bind 9.6 | 12:26 |
| arturgam3r | you havent a dir where to mount the device | 12:26 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: thanks! is it removed completely now? | 12:27 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: oh wait I got error | 12:27 |
| piti_ | ikinia: it still gives the same error. I'll try another disk | 12:27 |
| ikonia | shally87-2: named -v | 12:27 |
| shally87-2 | ok | 12:27 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d17a38aa1 | 12:27 |
| piti_ | ikonia: I took this disk out because it refused to boot | 12:27 |
| shally87-2 | owh.. | 12:27 |
| shally87-2 | ok | 12:28 |
| Armag3ddon | hello all ! | 12:28 |
| shally87-2 | thanks | 12:28 |
| ikonia | piti_: are you sure there is data on it ? | 12:28 |
| Armag3ddon | anyone can tell me how can i ssh with the terminal ? | 12:28 |
| piti_ | ikonia: i'm quite sure | 12:28 |
| ikonia | Jack1: looks like a problem with the pakage, have you ried "sudo dpkg -r red5" | 12:28 |
| ikonia | Armag3ddon: ssh $hostname | 12:28 |
| stoone2 | Armag3ddon: ssh uername@hostname | 12:28 |
| kjell | Armag3ddon: ssh loginname@server -p portnumber | 12:28 |
| ikonia | piti_: any idea why it wouldn't boot ? | 12:28 |
| ikonia | piti_: it looks like there s a problem with that disk on some level | 12:28 |
| arturgam3r | sudo mkdir /media/Daten (e. g.) then sudo mount /dev/sdax /media/Daten | 12:29 |
| piti_ | ikonia: it gives me grub error 17 | 12:29 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: gives me same error | 12:29 |
| ikonia | piti_: ahh grub error, not data error | 12:29 |
| piti_ | ikonia: which i believe is part of my ignorant when I installed raid1 | 12:29 |
| ikonia | Jack1: then you need to contact the place you got the deb from | 12:29 |
| Mic92 | Have anyone here ever installed Gmail FS succesfully? | 12:29 |
| ikonia | Jack1: the uninstall routine is not correct | 12:29 |
| piti_ | ikonia: my theory is that one of the disk failed and there is no grub on the other disk | 12:29 |
| Armag3ddon | ikonia, i know that, but it says connection refused :) | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 12:29 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: maybe it's because it can't stop the server, is there a way to stop running the server? | 12:30 |
| ikonia | piti_: what that means is he grub entry is hardcoded to the other disk | 12:30 |
| ikonia | Armag3ddon: then the other server is not listening on ssh ports | 12:30 |
| Armag3ddon | it is | 12:30 |
| Armag3ddon | it should be | 12:30 |
| ikonia | Jack1: open a terminal use "ps -ef | grep red5" to get info then use sudo kill -9 $pid and replace the value $pid with the process ID on the left | 12:30 |
| ikonia | Armag3ddon: it's not | 12:30 |
| Armag3ddon | ikonia, it is a shell server so it is :) | 12:30 |
| ikonia | Armag3ddon: it's not running | 12:31 |
| shally87-2 | ikonia: how to check the log for dns server? | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Armag3ddon: try netstat -a | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Armag3ddon: and pastebin the output | 12:31 |
| ikonia | shally87-2: have you setup logging | 12:31 |
| Armag3ddon | ikonia, i am connected to my server through irc | 12:31 |
| Armag3ddon | you tell me its not running ? | 12:31 |
| piti_ | ikonia: yeah so when one disk failed it probably read grub from the other disk but the grub.conf or something still try to have grub boot from the bad one.... | 12:31 |
| Armag3ddon | what do you think im stupid ? | 12:31 |
| piti_ | ikonia: that's what I guess | 12:31 |
| ikonia | Armag3ddon: that doesn't mean its running ssh | 12:31 |
| shally87-2 | no | 12:31 |
| Armag3ddon | yes it does | 12:31 |
| shally87-2 | ho to? | 12:31 |
| Armag3ddon | how did i install the server then ? | 12:32 |
| shally87-2 | how to? | 12:32 |
| ikonia | Armag3ddon: no it doesn't irc is not ssh | 12:32 |
| Armag3ddon | how did i install the server ? | 12:32 |
| Armag3ddon | how did i install the service | 12:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Armag3ddon Please tone it down | 12:32 |
| Armag3ddon | ikonia, i already installed server and services :/ | 12:32 |
| douglas | funny | 12:32 |
| ikonia | shally87-2: you need to walk through the bind guide on "channels" which is logging | 12:32 |
| ikonia | Armag3ddon: that doesn't mean the daemon is still running/listening | 12:32 |
| Armag3ddon | Jack_Sparrow, i am tuned down :/ | 12:32 |
| shally87-2 | ok | 12:32 |
| Armag3ddon | Jack_Sparrow, im cool :D | 12:32 |
| ikonia | Armag3ddon: if you are getting connection refused it's gettingt to your server but rejecting you | 12:32 |
| Armag3ddon | oh | 12:32 |
| ikonia | Armag3ddon: that meants either a host rule blocking you, or the service is not running | 12:32 |
| Armag3ddon | well :/ | 12:32 |
| Swift_ | hy i want to see a web stream cann you help me wat i can take for Programm | 12:33 |
| ikonia | Swift_: can you expand on that a bit, what do you mean by web stream | 12:33 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: when I do sudo kill "ID" nothing happens | 12:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Swift_ What is your native language? | 12:34 |
| ikonia | Jack1: kill -9 $pid | 12:34 |

| sathyrion | Hi, anyone have any clue how to get nvidia drivers working under Sun xVM VirtualBox (vista) running ubuntu 8.10? | 12:34 |
| kavity | Jack1: killall -9 | 12:34 |
| kavity | Or what ikonia said :/ | 12:34 |
| ikonia | sathyrion: the vm will not have an nvidia card on the guest | 12:34 |

| ActionParsnip | sathyrion: you need the guestadditions | 12:34 |
| ikonia | Jack1: doesn't look like the server is running then | 12:35 |
| sathyrion | from: Install guest additions under -> devices? | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | sathyrion: it will install as a vbox video card, you will not get 3d accelleration in a virtal machine | 12:35 |
| lasivian | I recently did a apt-get autoclean that removed some kernel files I think, after that I get "Boot from (hd0,0) ext2 *GUID*" Error 15: file not found" | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | sathyrion: yep thats it, or manually download the iso from someplace and mount it in the vbox, same deal | 12:36 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: weird, because it gives me this error when I try to remove it -> Stopping Red5 flash streaming server: red5invoke-rc.d: initscript red5, action "stop" failed. | 12:36 |
| sathyrion | Ok, thanks alot | 12:36 |
| lasivian | it refuses to boot from kernel 2.6.27-9-generic, but if I select 2.6.27-7 it boots | 12:36 |
| ikonia | Jack1: it can't stop it probably because it's not running | 12:36 |

| Armag3ddon | thanks guys :) | 12:36 |
| lasivian | i'd like to know what I should do to fix 27-9, or how to change Grub :/ | 12:36 |
| ikonia | Jack1: contact the people who made the deb | 12:37 |
| ikonia | piti_: phew | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub| lasivian | 12:37 |
| ubottu | lasivian: 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 | 12:37 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: thanks a lot for your help =) | 12:37 |
| ikonia | piti_: thats a good find | 12:37 |
| ikonia | Jack1: no problem | 12:37 |
| lasivian | i'd rather get 27-9 working of course, editing grub is my secondary solution | 12:37 |
| piti_ | ikonia: here is another question.... how do i backup sql from the disk I just mounted? | 12:38 |
| Ienorand | Does anyone here have any experience with vmware tools for a virt Ubuntu? I'm trying to get automatic mouse-focus, and compiz to work in a jaunty VM, anyone had any experince with this? | 12:38 |
| ikonia | piti_: mysql ? | 12:38 |
| piti_ | ikonia: yep | 12:39 |
| ikonia | piti_: mysqldump | 12:39 |
| ikonia | piti_: that's all you need | 12:39 |
| lasivian | I know the other night when I cleaned the packages a blue window came up in my cli window that I ignored thinking it was something else, I think that broke things :/ | 12:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | leno compiz effects in a VM.. doubtful | 12:39 |
| piti_ | ikonia: except that mysql is open data from sql that was installed on this computer....before | 12:39 |
| bastid_raZor | lasivian; have you tried reinstalling -9 kernel? | 12:40 |
| ikonia | piti_: sorry, can you explain that gain please. | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Ienorand: for jaunty ask in +1 | 12:40 |
| lasivian | bastid_raZor: i'm working on that now, kinda hoped someone might say "oh, you screwed up XYZ before I went mucking with things, :) | 12:41 |
| piti_ | ikonia: mysql loads database from /var/something. now that I mount this disk as ~/sdb1 how do i get mysql to load database from ~/sdb1/var/something? | 12:41 |
| gordonjcp | piti_: that's in the configs *somewhere* | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Ienorand: you wont get 3d acceleration in a vm so compiz wont work | 12:41 |
| gordonjcp | piti_: or you could do it the stupid-but-effective way and just symlink it | 12:41 |
| piti_ | gordonjcp: great idea... | 12:42 |
| Jack1 | ikonia: I also get this message when I try to remove java5 through Synaptic package manager -> E: red5: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 | 12:42 |
| lasivian | bastid_raZor: which package, headers or image? | 12:42 |

| Jack1 | ikonia: the deb package installed java5 | 12:43 |

| ikonia | Jack1: that's the problem then, they are linked | 12:44 |

| thehook | can apt-get take a "-priority=critical" like dpkg-reconfigure does? | 13:30 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip, which are? | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: 1. NEVER run firefox with sudo, its unnecessary and is HUGE security risk | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: 2. gui apps are executed with gksudo and not sudo | 13:30 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip, then how to check for updates? | 13:30 |
| WishingMaster | oops | 13:31 |
| WishingMaster | gksu | 13:31 |

| rem1500 | not much time now, and dont remember exactly but had something similar, and resolved it that way..maybe the same for you .. google about it .. | 14:03 |
| milostrife | anyone know why my scandisk cruzer 16gig micro usb cant be mounted/recognised on ubuntu and could help solve the problem? | 14:03 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, does a smaller disk work? | 14:04 |
| sathyrion | nick|here, Check if your alsa-base have specified the card model | 14:04 |
| milostrife | malahal i only have the one size | 14:04 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, what are the error messages? | 14:04 |
| nick|here | sathyrion: it works until i login. and after i login, i can get it working again with "sudo alsa force-reload". | 14:05 |
| AdvoWork | n8tuserff, yeah i can ping | 14:05 |
| milostrife | malahal i dont get and error messages at all i safely removed it from xp on my desktop and plugged it into my laptop and nothing is coming up | 14:05 |
| n8tuserff | AdvoWork -> can you ping from remote to localpc? but what is the result? | 14:06 |
| sathyrion | nick|here, Ok. I misunderstood. Maybe update to latest alsa drivers | 14:06 |
| n8tuserff | AdvoWork -> also try telnet 80 from remote to localpc | 14:06 |
| AdvoWork | n8tuserff, i can ping 192.... from remote to local,and get replies | 14:07 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, I just started using Ubuntu (was a gentoo user and still use gentoo on other machines) | 14:07 |
| nick|here | sathyrion: thanks. i just wanted to know if this is a common problem or not. apt does says me that my system is up2date. i'm fine at the moment. ain't broke don't fix :) | 14:07 |
| AdvoWork | telnet 192... 80 just says trying... | 14:07 |
| AdvoWork | does nothing else | 14:07 |
| malahal_ | remove the driver, connect it back and let me know the messages in /var/log/messages file | 14:07 |
| slash|crisis | hey everybody. i want to load the kernel module with the option "quirks=16" at boot. how can i do that? right now it's loaded without that option | 14:08 |
| slash|crisis | the kernel module is "uvcvideo" | 14:08 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, gnome-auto mount should work. Maybe there is a problem. You can certainly manually mount and I can help you with that. | 14:08 |
| sathyrion | nick|here, My HDA Intel card doesn't work at all on 8.10 until I reconfigure the alsa-base file. But I see people reccomend updating to the freshest alsa release because it has more compability with newer cards. | 14:09 |
| milostrife | malahal how do i manually mount it btw it uses something called u3 softwear? | 14:09 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, u3 software doesn't work on Linux. It is Windows only software, but you should see a partition on the drive that can be mounted. | 14:10 |
| nick|here | sathyrion: i'm checking the alsa-base file. fine with it know. if it breaks i'll update it to the freshest one. thanks for your help | 14:10 |
| milostrife | malahal so how do i manually mount it through the terminal? | 14:11 |

| humbolt | Isn't update-java-alternatives supposed to set JAVA_HOME and JDK_HOME env vars? | 14:12 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, first you need to know the drive name. Is it connected now? | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | humbolt: could set them in ~/.bashrc | 14:12 |

| RoyK | hi | 14:13 |
| innociv | i'm having some problem with nginx not showing pages. giving 403's and 404's. I think it is related to users groups.. i'm not sure though :/ | 14:13 |
| RoyK | where does ubuntu get the weather data shown in the status line? | 14:13 |
| humbolt | ActionParsnip: Know that. But these things should be taken care of by some install or update script, shouldn't they? | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | humbolt: i guess they could, im just used to editting conf files so I wouldnt know | 14:14 |
| Unguided | good morning. can u install both the gnome and kde desktop at the same time on an ubuntu install | 14:14 |
| AdvoWork | n8tuserff, got any ideas? | 14:14 |
| Firio | i'm back | 14:14 |

| ActionParsnip | humbolt: ou could spend hours ttrying to find a gui to do something you already know how to do in a conf file | 14:14 |
| milostrife | malahal yes where do i go to find out the drive name? | 14:14 |
| Firio | How do I install things on ubuntu using the thing called Terminal? What is the command? I know u told me.. I forgot to write it down | 14:14 |
| ikonia | Firio: apt-get | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | wb | Firio | 14:14 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, 'tail -f /var/log/messages' will tell you the last drive found or you can look into /sys/block directory. | 14:14 |
| ikonia | Firio: if your new you may find the package managment gui a better, but excellent choice | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Firio: sudo apt-get install <something> | 14:15 |
| === marius is now known as Guest31850 | ||
| ActionParsnip | Firio: to find package names use apt-cache search <something> | 14:15 |
| Firio | Does anyone of u know how to use a real infobot with perl and stuff? | 14:15 |
| AdvoWork | rem1500, do you know what setting itd be in apache2.conf?cant find a remote entry, hosts.allow is empty | 14:15 |
| milostrife | malahal where can i find those or do i type them into the terminal? | 14:16 |
| ikonia | Firio: that's not really an ubuntu question (for this channel) there are excellent resources on the web and in other channels | 14:16 |
| Firio | Ok | 14:16 |
| rubberducky | hi, not ubuntu, but how do i set up udhcpd? | 14:16 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, run "tail -f /var/log/messages" at a terminal | 14:16 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: it's unusual to use apache with host.allow | 14:16 |
| ikonia | rubberducky: if it's not ubuntu - please don't ask in this channel | 14:16 |
| RomD | could anyone take a look at my bootchart and tell me why intrepid sits there for over one minute at boot without doing anything? hardy worked fine. | 14:16 |

| GNU_D | Hi, how to make K3b for use for a mortals, they asked me to make them a shortcut of K3b so it can auto open the burn interface, k3B gives me errors when I try to add raw videos, is there more easier way, or what other program to use in order to have one program for the people ? | 14:17 |

| ikonia | Firio: look in /usr/bin | 14:17 |
| ikonia | Unguided: sure | 14:17 |
| AdvoWork | n8tuserff, yeah local works fine | 14:17 |
| ikonia | Unguided: ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop are the package names | 14:17 |
| ikonia | Unguided: you may even want to look at xubuntu-desktop | 14:17 |
| n8tuserff | AdvoWork -> your local has firewall activated? | 14:17 |
| ikonia | salsaheaven: that's not recommended | 14:17 |
| ikonia | salsaheaven: and discussed in #ubuntu+1 | 14:18 |

| Unguided | Ikonia: Thank you. can u give me further instructions on how to do so. So do I just install them using the package installer | 14:18 |
| ikonia | m3wolf: check the bug report | 14:18 |
| AdvoWork | n8tuserff, says Firewall not loaded | 14:18 |
| Mal3ko | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-rt/+bug/290498 | 14:19 |
| RomD | premamotion2, have you tried starting the live mode first and installing from there? | 14:19 |
| ikonia | Unguided: install the packages using hte pakage manager - that easy | 14:19 |
| n8tuserff | AdvoWork -> verify with sudo iptables -vL | 14:19 |
| ikonia | Mal3ko: does the bug say its fixed ? | 14:19 |
| milostrife | malahal i've done that it listed some things as write prote and now is listing loads of write protection off | 14:19 |
| Unguided | ikonia: how do u switch between the desktops | 14:19 |
| n8tuserff | AdvoWork -> and what are the os on both ends? | 14:19 |
| ikonia | Unguided: the gdm/kde login greeter gives you an option | 14:19 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, it should also contain the drive letters (sdb or sdc etc) | 14:19 |
| Unguided | ikonia: thanks again. newb here. | 14:20 |
| emem | boom | 14:20 |
| AdvoWork | n8tuserff, both are ubuntu | 14:20 |

| ikonia | emem: ? | 14:20 |
| emem | nothing | 14:20 |
| premamotion2 | @RomD Thank you for the answer! Live mode means to load Ubuntu without modifying computer, right? | 14:20 |
| n8tuserff | AdvoWork -> verify with sudo iptables -vL what does this tells you, post the results please | 14:20 |

| malahal_ | milostrife, is that sdb from the 'tail -f ...' output? | 14:22 |
| sathyrion | running ubuntu from vm just isn't the same as the real deal... I miss the struggle with getting cedega to work :D | 14:22 |
| zybil | I tried jacklaunch ekiga but it didn't work | 14:22 |

| zaggynl | if it's usb that is | 14:26 |
| n8tuserff | AdvoWork -> you noticed your default policy is DROP ? this could prevent your remote host getting into your localhost port 80 | 14:26 |
| kavity | :) | 14:26 |
| emem | nick Wunderbar | 14:26 |
| kavity | If it's onboard it should be usb | 14:26 |
| KingJamesII | great, thanks guys | 14:26 |
| milostrife | malahal it came up invalid option | 14:26 |
| malahal_ | ChrisW, where does bash has 'menu bar', you mean 'terminal'? | 14:26 |
| Roq | ChrisW: just open a new one | 14:26 |
| ChrisW | malahal: yeah | 14:27 |
| ChrisW | Roq: er, no... | 14:27 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, you mean 'fdisk -l /dev/sdb' came with invalid option? | 14:27 |
| AdvoWork | n8tuserff, ahh i dont really understand much abotu that, can it be changed? | 14:27 |
| n8tuserff | AdvoWork -> and also whatever tool you were using telling you Firewall is not loaded.. its giving you false info, you have firewall active all the time, and yours happen to have rules active right now | 14:27 |

| IsUp | anyone able to install gstreamer on ubuntu? | 14:27 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, it is "minus little L" not -1 | 14:27 |
| milostrife | malahal yeah sry | 14:27 |

| kavity | IsUp: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins | 14:28 |
| n8tuserff | AdvoWork -> iptables are complex, there are front ends like ufw and such.. for atutorial see http://www.linuxexposed.com/content/view/107/ | 14:28 |
| malahal_ | ChrisW, just right click your mouse on the terminal and follow .... | 14:28 |
| IsUp | kavity: it's not working. not installing correctly. | 14:29 |

I haven`t got any spash screen, or progress bar.... ony the dvd reader led is showing activity, that`s all. thank you so much!!!!!!!!! | 14:29 |

| AdvoWork | n8tuserff, hmm, allowed port 80 in iptables, yet still times out | 14:32 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, it should also tell you why it can't open /dev/sdb. Does it say 'permission' problem or something else? | 14:32 |

| malahal_ | milostrife, "/var/log/messages" is a file that contains system/daemon messages (error messages, information, critical ...etc) | 14:40 |
| rkvirani | Slart: oh, thanks but, I just booted in the old kernel :D | 14:40 |
| puneeth | !broken | 14:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about broken | 14:40 |
| Slart | rkvirani: that works too =) | 14:40 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, what do you mean by 'akk'? | 14:40 |
| rkvirani | though I do say the NVIDIA binary drivers in general are ... frustrating | 14:40 |
| rkvirani | I have an NVIDIA 6200/256MB and Docky is slow even after putting in the recommended settings :( | 14:41 |
| milostrife | malahal at all sry and where is that file? | 14:41 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, I gave the complete pathname. You can see the file using any of your favourite tools. What do you use to look at files in Linux? | 14:42 |
| innociv | can i make an sftp user able to write files without owning the folder? | 14:42 |
| milostrife | malahal found it now sry i was being slow what am i looking for in the message | 14:43 |
| ganesh | Slart: no i din get | 14:43 |
| jarco | hello all. When i do rm * in a big folder i get: -bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long. How can i ovverride this? | 14:43 |
| F4RR4R | innociv: Add them to a group, make that group own the file, give the group +r permission? | 14:43 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, at the end it may give indication about why it failed to open /dev/sdb | 14:43 |
| _VIM_ | /quit | 14:43 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, What does the following command say, "ls -l /dev/sdb"? | 14:44 |
| YlandeFaran | Can someone supply me with a bunch of commands to se my computers hardware specs? | 14:44 |
| YlandeFaran | cpu/memory/graphic etc | 14:44 |
| Roq | YlandeFaran: lshw | 14:44 |
| malahal_ | YlandeFaran, lshw | 14:44 |
| oCean_ | YlandeFaran: start with "sudo lshw" | 14:44 |
| ganesh | how do i know which graphics card i have? | 14:44 |
| malahal_ | ganesh, lspci | 14:45 |
| ociugi | fd or any similar file is missing in /dev directory. how can i mount my floppy? | 14:45 |
| darjeeling | snmpwalk and snmpget to remote host dose not work in ubuntu. how can I do it? | 14:45 |
| `Matir | ociugi, check if the 'floppy' module is loaded with lsmod. If not, modprobe floppy | 14:45 |
| === marius is now known as Guest14365 | ||
| ociugi | `Matir: ok | 14:45 |
| milostrife | malahal everyone now and then i get some lists on scan disk cruzer but noting else | 14:45 |
| oCean_ | ociugi: should be /dev/fd0 device.. You may want to try "sudo modprobe floppy" first to 'create' that device file | 14:45 |
| ociugi | <oCean_> i see | 14:46 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, "lists", what do you mean? | 14:46 |
| ganesh | malahal_: thanx | 14:47 |
| malahal_ | milostrife, what does the 'ls -l /dev/sdb' gave you | 14:47 |
| milostrife | brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 2009-02-11 14:45 /dev/sdb from command you sent "ls-l /dev/sdb" | 14:47 |
| malahal_ | ganesh, np | 14:47 |
| Guest14365 | is there any quick way to install mod_rewrite in apache/ I mean...any magic package? | 14:47 |
| lasivian | my kernel was broken so I changed to an older one, but the kernel "build" directory is missing, what is the safest way to replace it? | 14:47 |
| YlandeFaran | any command to se how much ram I have too? | 14:47 |
| YlandeFaran | perhaps that is somwehere in the output from lshw? Quite verbose though.. | 14:47 |
| _niko | hey there, is there a way to block a user from using sudo? | 14:48 |
| Roq | YlandeFaran: free | 14:48 |
| Slart | YlandeFaran: free will tell you a bit about memory and usage | 14:48 |
| Sylphid|work | _niko, remove them from the admin group | 14:48 |
| lasivian | _niko: remove them as a superuser, or perhaps alias sudo to something else? | 14:48 |
| mun | hi | 14:48 |
| ociugi | <oCean_> , <`Matir>: tnx guys | 14:49 |
| milostrife | malahal brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 2009-02-11 14:45 /dev/sdb | 14:49 |
| _niko | how would i remove them as a superuser? | 14:49 |
| mun | does anyone know how i can set ls to highlight directories using a different colour? at the moment it's blue, but my terminal's bg is black, so it's hard to read. | 14:49 |
| rkvirani | mun: check the colors on your 'profile' in terminal | 14:49 |
| oCean_ | _niko: file /etc/sudoers contains definition who may use sudo. Default all users in admin group have sudo rights. Modify /etc/sudoers, or remove the user from group admin | 14:49 |
| _niko | ok will try | 14:50 |

| zash | vlad: how did you install it? | 14:53 |
| ichat | small question - im looking for any kind of live bootable that supports at least - memtest - some kind of hdd tester, and perhaps other usefull utillities, - but most just are geared for desktop use (and i dont need stuff like thunderbird OOo or gaim (and stuff) | 14:53 |
| ikonia | vlad: asking ever 15 seconds will not get you help | 14:53 |
| rkvirani | shad_: heh english dude | 14:53 |
| ikonia | ichat: the ubuntu live cd | 14:53 |
| vlad | zash: from synaptics | 14:53 |
| sathyrion | vlad, Should appear in menu. restart x/system if it's not there | 14:53 |
| apollo13 | ikonia: guessing that too, how can I debug it (it works fine if I comment out the bash_completion sourcing in .bashrc) | 14:53 |
| apollo13 | running debsums now | 14:53 |
| vlad | i know i have to open it from the terminal | 14:53 |
| ikonia | apollo13: truss and stace the bash script while running to get an idea | 14:53 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, sir it is important to help me....... | 14:53 |
| ichat | ikonia: - does it support hdd testing (cuze i never saw that before - (or maybe not sure - ) | 14:53 |
| zash | vlad: what package? in terminal run dpkg -L package-name | 14:53 |
| * apollo13 goes to find out how to do that | 14:53 | |
| KingJamesII | anyone here have an HP DV9819wm? I need to know what kind of webcam it has | 14:54 |
| vlad | common | 14:54 |
| rkvirani | shad_: hahaha | 14:54 |
| ikonia | ichat: tons of test programs you can install | 14:54 |

| zash | vlad: dpkg -L package-name | grep bin | 14:54 |
| rkvirani | shad_: what kind of camera? | 14:54 |
| ichat | you can install apps on a live boot? | 14:54 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, i am using sony vaio as my laptop | 14:54 |
| kitche | http://forum.pauldotcom.com/viewtopic.php?id=180&action=new | 14:54 |
| vlad | zash and if not | 14:55 |
| shad_ | it is of VGN-CR24G series | 14:55 |
| vlad | ? | 14:55 |
| rkvirani | shad_: does lspci give you any hints as to what kind of camera you have | 14:55 |
| lasivian | how do I rebuild an existing kernel without breaking anything? my build files are missing | 14:55 |
| oCean_ | vlad: type "weech" and hit tab ... it's weechat-curses | 14:55 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, i post the output of lspci | 14:55 |
| ikonia | ihavnoth: yes | 14:56 |
| ChrisW | malahal: belated thanks | 14:56 |
| lasivian | a newer kernel broke my notebook and i'm trying to get it back running again | 14:56 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, i couldn't get exactly | 14:56 |
| ichat | ikonia: - its possible to install apps on a live cd (or usb) - (pre configured - ?) | 14:56 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, where should i post it | 14:56 |
| ikonia | ichat: pre-configured ? | 14:56 |
| n8tuserff | ichat -> you can remaster your livecd | 14:56 |
| rkvirani | pastebin | 14:57 |
| rkvirani | shad_: read it | 14:57 |
| _niko | thanks for the info guys! | 14:57 |
| ikonia | !pastebin > shad_ | 14:57 |
| ubottu | shad_, please see my private message | 14:57 |
| rkvirani | shad_: what does it say? does it say anything about your camera? | 14:57 |
| j03lar50n | Would Ubuntu auto-detect my Wired Connection? This is my static connection to Server in a static/dynamic router setup. | 14:57 |
| * lasivian grovels | 14:57 | |
| vlad | oCean_: thanks | 14:57 |
| rkvirani | ubottu: why dont you post to the channel? | 14:57 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:57 |
| ikonia | j03lar50n: static means user assigned | 14:57 |
| ikonia | rkvirani: you missed the ! | 14:57 |
| apollo13 | ikonia: http://pastie.org/386013 does this tell you something? | 14:57 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, how to see the private messages | 14:58 |
| n8tuserff | jedimind -> you use update-alternatives tool to set your java defaults | 14:58 |
| rkvirani | ! | 14:58 |
| j03lar50n | yes, this is my user assigned static ip for my server | 14:58 |
| jedimind | n8tuserff: i already ended up just setting it in .bashrc | 14:58 |
| rkvirani | shad_: I dont know I didnt send you one and I dont know what IRC client you are using | 14:58 |
| ikonia | apollo13: not really, run the script, then do a strace on that process while it's "hung" | 14:58 |
| apollo13 | ikonia: ok, sry missunderstood you | 14:58 |
| j03lar50n | i can talk to the router but not the Internet...wondering my settings aren't autodetected when i plugin my LAN | 14:58 |
| ichat | n8tuserff: any tutorial on that, - because, im not allowed to install anything to the disk - so a usb stick with ubuntu live (with most of usefull tystem diagnostics would be briliant | 14:58 |
| ikonia | !pastebin | shad_ | 14:58 |
| ubottu | shad_: 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) | 14:58 |
| n8tuserff | jedimind -> well you can do it several ways, now if you need to update.. | 14:58 |
| rkvirani | ikonia: oh I see what you are doing | 14:59 |
| rkvirani | yeah, I dont know bots well | 14:59 |
| * lasivian begs to know how to rebuild an existing kernel that is only half functional | 14:59 | |
| shad_ | rkvirani, http://pastebin.com/m5b9c3700 | 14:59 |
| jedimind | n8tuserff: i'll look into that option as well, thanks | 14:59 |
| ikonia | j03lar50n: static IP's are not detectable - they are static, which means users assigned, only dhcp is detectable | 14:59 |
| j03lar50n | so i do this in the Network Connections ikonia? | 14:59 |
| j03lar50n | Wired Connection? | 14:59 |
| n8tuserff | ichat -> yes there is, but its a circuitous way, remaster the livecd iso then modify it to boot from usb | 15:00 |
| ikonia | j03lar50n: you assign a static ip in the network configuration gui | 15:00 |
| lasivian | /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/build is missing so I can;t install my wireless drivers | 15:00 |
| j03lar50n | the MAC address they ask for there - should that be the router MAC? | 15:00 |
| ikonia | j03lar50n: no - the mac address of the card | 15:00 |
| apollo13 | ikonia: http://pastie.org/386016 :/ | 15:00 |
| ikonia | j03lar50n: that is normally automatically picked up | 15:00 |
| OriWB | absynth: u there? | 15:00 |
| apollo13 | repeated all the time... | 15:00 |
| j03lar50n | and do i need to worry about IPv4 Settings? | 15:00 |
| ikonia | j03lar50n: yes | 15:01 |
| shally87 | !ebox | 15:01 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 15:01 |
| ikonia | apollo13: doesn't tell me much, but it is useful, your shell is segfaulting | 15:01 |
| oCean_ | lasivian: install kernel-headers. 'build' is a link to the headers directory | 15:01 |
| j03lar50n | and I get the address of the card w/ ifconfig | 15:01 |
| shally87 | !webmin | 15:01 |
| 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. | 15:01 |
| * apollo13 tries reinstalling everything near bash^^ | 15:01 | |
| ikonia | apollo13: segfault of a shell would suggest something like corrupt install or a memory/cpu issue | 15:01 |
| * lasivian thanks oCean_ profusely | 15:01 | |
| apollo13 | ikonia: how can I dig deeper there? | 15:01 |
| ichat | ubuntu 8.10 has an option to create boot usb disk - ( is it an option to start from there - (never tried the option yet ) | 15:01 |
| shally87 | !version | 15:01 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 15:01 |
| ikonia | apollo13: well in what respect deeper ? how much do you understand of the debugging output | 15:02 |
| apollo13 | ikonia: nothing :/ | 15:02 |
| shally87 | !dns | 15:02 |
| ubottu | DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, and is an internet system used to translate names into IP Address. | 15:02 |
| ikonia | apollo13: ok -s o you can't go much deeper, you may want to try running the memtest checks from the boot menu for a few full passes to get an idea on your hardware | 15:02 |
| AdvoWork | do you need to apply changes after you change iptables? | 15:02 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: it's real time | 15:02 |
| DarkKnight | hii...i have flash working and i am able to watch youtube videos...but i have my subject notes on a particular site in flash and I am unable to watch it....any help?? | 15:02 |
| shally87 | huh~!..Dns Manual got 108pages.. no easy to use stuff for it? | 15:02 |
| apollo13 | ikonia: I'll try that, but I guess I kick the pc back to the reseller | 15:03 |
| ikonia | DarkKnight: we have discussed this before | 15:03 |
| oCean_ | lasivian: use "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" and it'll fetch the appropriate headers for your running kernel | 15:03 |
| shally87 | too time consuming..any suggestion? | 15:03 |
| ikonia | shally87: it's a complex and serious topic | 15:03 |
| ikonia | shally87: you have to know it well | 15:03 |
| DarkKnight | ikonia; ya but i can't help asking if anyone else has any solution....i am desperate to find a solution for this..... | 15:03 |
| ichat | n8tuserff: ubuntu 8.10 has an option to create boot usb disk - ( is it an option to start from there - (never tried the option yet ) ???? | 15:04 |
| ikonia | DarkKnight: we told you last time - there is no solution, the site is not supported/working with the linux version of flash, talk tot he site maintainer | 15:04 |
| shad_ | ubottu, what does lspci does | 15:04 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:04 |
| ikonia | DarkKnight: it doesn't get any more clear than that | 15:04 |
| shally87 | ok.. BTW if I just set up LAMP server and point my ip using no-ip , i wont be needing a dns server is it? | 15:04 |
| DarkKnight | ikonia; and hiii ikonia....nice to meet you....and by the way you have gud memory | 15:04 |
| rkvirani | shally87: you there? | 15:04 |
| shally87 | yes rkvirani | 15:04 |
| ikonia | shally87: if you want to use dns you'd need 2 dns servers on uniqe ip's any way | 15:04 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, i posted the lspci output | 15:04 |
| lasivian | oCean_: Bless you sir! | 15:05 |
| * lasivian grovels some more | 15:05 | |
| ichat | Shad_ lspci with LIST all availible pci divices on your system (including those on your motherboard (like onboard sound - and stuf like that ) | 15:05 |
| rkvirani | shad_: sorry can you tell me the url? | 15:05 |
| shally87 | ikonia: if i just want to support my website such as example.com do i need a dns server or just a lamp server would be ok? | 15:05 |
| bOiNk_ | lol - a dumb question... i have a file named -foo and want to move it... but "mv -foo bar" thinks (of course) that -foo is a parameter... putting -foo into slashes doesn't work either... any ideas plz ? :D | 15:06 |
| Fenix|work | Greetings... question on users and groups | 15:06 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, http://pastebin.com/m5b9c3700 | 15:06 |
| Slart | bOiNk_: mv "-foo" doesn't work? | 15:06 |
| ikonia | shally87: dns has nothign to do with your website - to host a DNS name - you need two unique dns servers, lamp is nothing to do with dns | 15:06 |
| xrfang | hi there, could anyone tell me how to install ubuntu from iso? I downloaded 810amd iso, and verified the md5 is correct, but I failed 3 times when burning CD. | 15:06 |
| Fenix|work | All users on my CVS box have the primary group matching the CVSUSERS group in passwd... does that also need to be reflected in the group file? | 15:06 |
| xrfang | what on earth is wubi? | 15:07 |
| shally87 | ok..then DNS is only pointing url for hosting server is it.. | 15:07 |
| n8tuserff | ichat -> if you have not installed ubuntu before, that would be a good starting point for you | 15:07 |
| xrfang | I tried to use wubi to install, but it try to download everything from net, not using the files I extracted from iso | 15:07 |
| ikonia | Fenix|work: passwords do not go in the group file | 15:07 |
| bOiNk_ | Slart: no :( | 15:07 |
| rkvirani | shally87: nm I got it | 15:07 |
| rkvirani | must be a USB camera cause I dont see it | 15:07 |
| rkvirani | s/shally/shad | 15:07 |
| Fenix|work | bOiNk_, you have to escape the file ... mv \-foo bar | 15:08 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, no it is not it is inbuilt | 15:08 |
| bOiNk_ | aaahh :D ok i'll try thx :D | 15:08 |
| Slart | bOiNk_: many unix commands support using -- to signify that there are no more options after this character... ie... mc -- -foo might work | 15:08 |
| rkvirani | shad_: lsusb | 15:08 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, | 15:08 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, ok | 15:08 |
| rkvirani | shad_: you dont understand it could still be USB even if it is built-in | 15:08 |
| shally87 | then as time too short, gonna stop for dns server a while.. running my LAMP first..thanks ya... | 15:08 |
| ichat | n8tuserff: - i have, but never worked with live - and the machine neading service - neither supports cdrom nor am i allowd to (overwrite data on its hdd - before its backed-up propperly - \ | 15:08 |
| shally87 | gonna ask loads and loads of question later on... | 15:08 |
| Slart | bOiNk_: sorry.. mv -- -foo | 15:09 |
| rkvirani | shad_: infact your Optical drive is probably USB even though its built in. | 15:09 |
| bOiNk_ | Fenix|work: excaping doesn't work either, Slart: gonna try :D | 15:09 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, http://pastebin.com/m4f046ea4 | 15:09 |
| n8tuserff | ichat -> well back up your data is your highest priority, what os is currently running? | 15:09 |
| === shally87 is now known as shally87[LAMPing | ||
| Fenix|work | ikonia, passwords don't go in the group file? I don't see how the correlation to my question... | 15:09 |

| xrfang | could anyone explain this: is there any difference between wubi install and normal cd install. In another word, can I use wubi to install from windows, and after install is ok, get rid of windows to get a pure ubuntu system? | 15:09 |
| apollo13 | ikonia: how long can a memtest through 4 gig take | 15:09 |
| ikonia | apollo13: hours | 15:10 |
| Fenix|work | ... unless you're saying that users with a primary group set in passwd don't need inclusion in group | 15:10 |
| Wunderbar | how would i get irssi to integrate with firefox... | 15:10 |
| Wunderbar | ???? | 15:10 |
| oCean_ | Fenix|work: one would think the /etc/group should reflect that.. however I've seen otherwise. .. e.g. not all users in a group were specified in the group file | 15:10 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, and yes my fingerprint is also not working | 15:10 |
| rkvirani | shad_: good luck with that | 15:10 |
| _niko | xrfang: why not just boot from the live CD and format the drive to have a pur Ubuntu system? | 15:10 |
| ichat | windows xp - with to manny error to trust its backup ops.. - - if it where linux it would have been so mutch easier | 15:10 |
| rkvirani | fingerprint readers are a bad idea anyway | 15:10 |
| rkvirani | insecure | 15:10 |
| Slart | xrfang: I think you would have to install to get a real install after installing with wubi | 15:10 |
| rkvirani | I dont wnat my finger print on my computer for someone to steal thank you | 15:11 |
| xrfang | _niko: I just explained, the iso refused to burn correct, but my burner can burn other CDs without problem | 15:11 |
| hwilde | ok who broke firefox :( | 15:11 |
| ikonia | hwilde: just got the update ? | 15:11 |
| Slart | rkvirani: you can't extract your fingerprint from a fingerprint reader | 15:11 |
| hwilde | i've got like four updates so far today and now I can't open pages | 15:11 |
| rkvirani | hwilde: are yup upgrading? | 15:11 |
| rkvirani | Slart: really | 15:11 |
| xrfang | Slart: my intention is to use wubi to install ubuntu, not to just run it in live mode. | 15:11 |
| rkvirani | yeah.,.. right... | 15:11 |
| askand | hwilde: me too | 15:11 |
| oCean_ | Fenix|work: /etc/passwd is leading. If all cvsusers have correct (same) groupid.. it should be fine | 15:11 |
| ikonia | hwilde: restart all firefox programs | 15:11 |
| xrfang | is that possible, I am not familiar with wubi. | 15:11 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, i could not understand | 15:11 |
| Slart | rkvirani: you'll only get a hash.. some kind of number based on your fingerprint | 15:11 |
| ikonia | hwilde: (I had to ps -ef | grep and kill to get them all) | 15:11 |
| hwilde | :// | 15:11 |
| rkvirani | shad_: I wont help you with your finterprint reader | 15:12 |
| Slart | rkvirani: you can't use that hash to draw a picture of your finger | 15:12 |
| ikonia | hwilde: or reboot to make it simpler | 15:12 |
| n8tuserff | ichat -> get another disk to load ubuntu on, load vmware or vbox to get virtual, and run xp on as guest.. many options | 15:12 |
| apollo13 | ikonia: anyways thx for your help | 15:12 |
| hwilde | ikonia, any page i try it pops up this error: http://pastebin.com/mb53419c | 15:12 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, but try in case of camera | 15:12 |
| Slart | xrfang: afaik wubi is a install.. | 15:12 |
| Fenix|work | oCean_, :) that's exactly why I asked the question :) The user's primary group in passwd is cvsusers but in group there's no users beside cvsuser :) | 15:12 |
| beehemoth | I know this'll get a big groan -but I got a sound problem on Hardy. I can only get my USB headphones to work by unplugging/plugging in, then running asoundconf-gtk and selecting the headphones. Where do I edit to make this work at start-up. anyone? | 15:12 |
| Slart | xrfang: not a way to run a live cd | 15:12 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, i really spent hours behind this on internet | 15:12 |
| kitche | 254kb/sec is roughly my download cap speed | 15:13 |
| ichat | n8tuserff: - that might work.. | 15:13 |
| rcshah | hi all, I'm sort of new so please be kind!... If I extend a path to include an application (using export in bash), how do I make this a permanent change..so I don't need to keep doing this? | 15:13 |
| ikonia | hwilde: do what I suggested | 15:13 |
| Fenix|work | oCean_, yeah, I thought that's how it worked... but I'm trying to track down some errors with CVS and that's the first place I started. | 15:13 |
| ikonia | hwilde: some libs from the old install are probably still in use | 15:13 |
| kitche | opps wrong window :) | 15:13 |
| ikonia | hwilde: common if you update with firefox open | 15:13 |
| rkvirani | shad_: I dont care | 15:13 |
| rkvirani | shad_: pastebin lsusb | 15:13 |
| hwilde | ikonia, yeah it did some scrolly stuff and started up ok | 15:13 |
| xrfang | Slart: what I did is this, in windows, extract the ISO to a folder on a fat32 partition, run wubi to install ubuntu... now 2 questions: 1) it just start install without giving me option for hard disk partion etc... 2) most importantly, it try to download everything from network, not using the file I just extracted from iso... | 15:13 |
| rkvirani | shad_: complaining isnt fixing anything | 15:13 |
| * ichat hates servicing windows computers - but unfortuatly its still part of my job :( | 15:13 | |
| oCean_ | Fenix|work: I never found an explanation on that. "/usr/bin/id <username>" should list the correct prim/sec groups. Then you're fine | 15:13 |
| zaggynl | right, keeps us in a job | 15:14 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, http://pastebin.com/m4f046ea4 | 15:14 |
| rkvirani | shad_: Im glad you sat down for hours on the internet to learn about linux but it really isnt going to make your computer work if you just keep whining | 15:14 |
| xrfang | Slart: yes I DO want to install, I do NOT need livecd... | 15:14 |
| rkvirani | shad_: thats lspci | 15:14 |
| ikonia | xrfang: the livecd is the installer cd | 15:14 |
| rkvirani | I SAID 'lsusb' | 15:14 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, please do not be so rude, i really love ubuntu | 15:14 |
| rkvirani | So do I :) | 15:14 |
| sathyrion | sudo apt-get install brain | 15:15 |
| rkvirani | now I need lsusb output not lspci | 15:15 |
| Slart | xrfang: I haven't used wubi myself but I think it uses some kind of big image file as a file system.. so you don't have to partition it.. I think it will use the cd/existing files for most packages.. or all packages in the default install | 15:15 |
| rkvirani | sudo apt-get install patience | 15:15 |
| Fenix|work | oCean_, have any clues as where to look for permission settings on new directory creation and submission into CVS? It appears that when new directories are included into the repository g+w is excluded and then future checkouts fail. | 15:15 |
| n8tuserff | rcshah -> there is /etc/environment and /etc/profiel for everyone or localized to .bashrc for a user | 15:15 |
| xrfang | ikonia: yes I know, I just failed to burn the iso to a CD for 3 times, and I wonder I need to try again or not... | 15:15 |
| ikonia | xrfang: have you md5'd the image ? | 15:15 |
| === Linuturk_ is now known as Linuturk | ||
| Jim_Raynor | hi | 15:15 |
| Slart | xrfang: but if you want a real install you have to either use a live cd to install.. or use the alternate install cd if you really don't want to run a live cd to install | 15:15 |
| Jim_Raynor | anyone knows how to change the notifications theme? | 15:15 |
| shad_ | rkvirani, http://pastebin.com/me3aabb4 | 15:16 |
| xrfang | ikonia, yes I did, I downloaded twice, first one is wrong, 2nd one I downloaded through BT and did md5 it is correct. | 15:16 |
| xrfang | Slart: alternative CD is a good option to try, thanks! | 15:16 |
| Slart | xrfang: if you don't want to burn a cd you can install from usb.. type !usb here in the channel for more info | 15:16 |
| sathyrion | maybe I should boot my nix instead and run win in virtualbox instead of the other way around :P | 15:16 |
| oCean_ | Fenix|work: not sure on cvs, but it might be the default umask for the users. | 15:16 |
| xrfang | Slart: I don't want to use a file image etc. I intended to install and then get rid of windows | 15:16 |
| xrfang | Slart: unfortunately I tried usb already, and it refused to boot. I will ask here tomorrow, when I try. thanks everyone! | 15:17 |
| beehemoth | I'm going crazy looking at the `fix your soundcard` tutorials at ubuntu on this one. usb headset did work, now it doesn't post update. have to unplug/plug in and run asoundconf-gtk after book to get them to work. anyone know where I should look to make a permanent fix? | 15:17 |
| xrfang | !usb | 15:17 |

| Slart | xrfang: then it's 1. install using live cd or 2. install using alternate cd or 3. install using usb | 15:17 |

| bhaka | How can i tell Ubuntu not to use the badsectors on my hard drive? It constantly writes my stuff on the same badsectors rendering the files written on it useless. | 15:32 |
| craggi | is there no solution for the bluetooth problem? | 15:32 |
| ichat | Basem - only some apps support the MSN webcam feature. but afaik non support the voice feature | 15:32 |
| n8tuserff | bhaka -> what made you so sure it writes back to those badsectors? what tools you used to verify these? | 15:32 |
| bhaka | n8tuserff: i delete the corrupted files and then rewrite them to my hard drive | 15:33 |

| wikkedfin | i take it. its not easy to lock them in home? | 15:51 |
| xaos11 | i don't know :( | 15:51 |
| ikonia | wikkedfin: depends on the technique, quite easy, but quite a big step to take | 15:51 |
| Titan8990 | lasivian, you may actually be able to reformat your usb drive to ext3, i have never tried it personally | 15:52 |
| Zta | I wonder if it's worth upgrading to 9.04 in order to get the latest packages. Or perhaps I should stick with my rock stable 8.04 and simply install all the necessary -dev packages and compile the tarballs myself. On the other than, 8.04 dev packages might be out of date. | 15:52 |

| ikonia | xaos11: I didnt ssay driver | 15:55 |

| ikonia | xaos11: you need to stop looking for how to "rush" or "cheat" a fix and look at whay your on firefox 3.0.5 rather than 3.0.6 | 15:55 |
| xaos11 | ikonea: i had the problem before i tried the tar.gz. i dint configure make install. 3.0.5 | 15:55 |
| ikonia | xaos11: the 3.0.5 package is from the ubuntu repo's yes/no ? | 15:56 |
| xaos11 | yes | 15:56 |

| ikonia | xaos11: your doing more harm messing around | 15:59 |
| anonusing | wizzup, yes, it shows in my prefrences | 15:59 |
| Wizzup | You might have not enabled the effect, and try and see if compiz is running (stupid question, I think) | 16:00 |
| Wizzup | anonusing: And is the desktop cube on? | 16:00 |
| xaos11 | security reasons? | 16:00 |
| ikonia | xaos11: oh coem on | 16:00 |
| Pici | xaos11: Such as? | 16:00 |
| xaos11 | i don't know... nevermind | 16:00 |
| degrit | Q if I may : I believe I used to be able to assign a different wallpaper to each virtual desktop in the past - is it still possible? I can't seem to find any relevant settings | 16:00 |
| anonusing | yes, certain things like that and wobbly are checked to see if it's working but those effects aren't working. | 16:00 |
| ikonia | xaos11: you want it urgentl, but you don't know why, and your willing to potentially break your system to get it | 16:00 |
| Wizzup | none of them? anonusing | 16:00 |
| Wizzup | Then run compiz, and see if it works | 16:00 |
| Mactus | dad: I can bypass the NVIDIA driver in recovery mode, but I would rather get it working properly so he can have better than 800x600 resolution. | 16:01 |
| Wizzup | I am not sure what the command is, compiz --replace ? | 16:01 |
| xaos11 | ok, i just wasnt sure how important the upgrade was | 16:01 |
| Seito | Wizzup - I've found some manuals (and even tried to use included in 8.10 software for creating USB disk), but finally it shows only two lines (first one is SYSLINUX bla-bla-bla and the second - "boot")and nothing else | 16:01 |
| ikonia | xaos11: the upgrade will be offered to you via the package manager when it is available on your repo | 16:01 |
| xaos11 | you could install the compiz-icon it would be easeir | 16:01 |
| Wizzup | anonusing: Try what xaos11 said, the icon is useful | 16:02 |
| anonusing | wizzup, whenever i did that it crashed my system or something... i installed anything to do with compiz from add apps | 16:02 |
| xaos11 | ok i just read that it was already out for intrepid so i thought something might have been wrong with apt.. like a pgp key or something | 16:02 |
| Wizzup | anonusing: I take it you have the correct drivers installed? | 16:02 |
| ikonia | xaos11: maybe good to ask before messing around with tar files, changing repo's etc etc | 16:02 |
| xaos11 | ikonia :kthx | 16:02 |
| anonusing | wizzup, yes i downloaded that. when i put compiz --replace, it:s the common problem of the windows disapearing but other things stop working too. i have to log out then. | 16:02 |
| Wizzup | anonusing: then compiz isn't starting correctly | 16:03 |
| xaos11 | what graphics card you have? | 16:03 |
| Wizzup | Nvidia or ATI? | 16:03 |
| anonusing | wizzup, i believe i have the correct drivers... i went through every turorial i could find... ATI | 16:03 |
| xaos11 | i can run compiz fine on my thinkpad which i think just has intel graphics | 16:03 |
| xaos11 | so it should run | 16:03 |
| Wizzup | I don't have alot of experience with ATI. My Nvidia sort of worked out of the box, though | 16:03 |

| lfaraone | bOiNk_: is that *all* tghat's in your apt soruces list? | 16:31 |
| xaos11 | pewtas: use disk usage analyzer, in the applications, accecories menu | 16:31 |
| jackmayol | I messed up my /etc/fstab, with all the same mounting names.... (cant remember doing something that stupid but anyway...) those are ntfs partitions, I'd like to know which one contains what to give them the appropriate name (games, music, etc...) | 16:31 |
| pike_ | pewtas: kdirstat is a handy tool. | 16:31 |
| dad | ECS or something... with an integrated NVIDIA chipset and a 9400GT PCI-Xpress | 16:32 |
| pike_ | jackmayol: sudo fdisk -l and also the mount command | 16:32 |
| dad | the PCI Xpress is the one I use | 16:32 |
| pewtas | Hi pike_ please explain what you mean { I'm a beginner } | 16:33 |
| bOiNk_ | lfaraone: i took the original sources.list (never touched it before) and changed the archives - subdomain to old-releases | 16:33 |
| jackmayol | pike_ I did already the fdisk -l but I have just theblocks size, but for 2 partitions, I dont know which is what | 16:33 |
| xaos11 | dad: ok, well when you go to system>administration>hardware drivers what does it say? | 16:33 |
| pike_ | pewtas: install kdirstat from the package manager it will basically give you a graphical representation of hard disk usage and evel allows you to delete stuff from within it | 16:33 |
| lfaraone | bOiNk_: please back up your current list and replace it completely wiht the one on the wiki | 16:33 |
| pike_ | pewtas: could also be a file system problem though | 16:34 |
| dad | xaos11: I had a look at my BIOS, to see if I had to desactivate the integrated Nvidia... did not find anything | 16:34 |
| dad | it seems it is disabled when the Xpress is in use | 16:34 |
| xaos11 | dad: thats what i was wondering... did you go to the hardware drivers thing? | 16:35 |
| bOiNk_ | lfaraone: ok, i'll try, but i still don't think that this is gonna solve the problem, since the update process demands files from [...]/dists/gutsy/ which isn't in the old-releases branch | 16:35 |

| cumulus007 | how is it possible that my Kubuntu is much faster on a USB stick than on my hard drive? | 17:07 |
| xaos11 | flash is faster than hard disks | 17:07 |
| celdridge | erUSUL, both produce the same issue ... even du shows 4k used .. although gparted shows 9gb used | 17:07 |
| lasivian | blarg, I think I just ruined a flash drive | 17:08 |
| xaos11 | oh noes?! | 17:08 |
| xaos11 | what happened lasivian? | 17:08 |
| cumulus007 | xaos11: it is? | 17:08 |
| lasivian | PC locked up in the middle of formatting it | 17:08 |
| lasivian | now it just flashes constantly and nothing detects it | 17:08 |
| erUSUL | xaos11: 18:07 < xaos11> flash is faster than hard disks <<<< normal flash is not... | 17:08 |
| xaos11 | cumulus007 yes flash is faster because no spinning disk etc, but the speed at which it connects to the system is probably not | 17:09 |
| cumulus007 | xaos11: I got IDE at the moment, do you think a SATA drive would be as fast as a USB drive? | 17:09 |
| erUSUL | xaos11: only newer and expensive SSD from intel are | 17:09 |
| xaos11 | cumulus007 yes it would faster, but you should try hdparm on the ide | 17:09 |
| xaos11 | erUSUL yeah even linus torvalds says those intell ssds are good | 17:09 |
| cumulus007 | xaos11: what's hdparm? | 17:09 |

| erUSUL | celdridge: i'm out of ideas... sorry | 17:10 |
| cumulus007 | xaos11: can it speed up my hard drive or something? | 17:10 |
| xaos11 | cumulus007: sometimes you can speed up disk transfer withthat | 17:10 |
| cumulus007 | cool | 17:10 |
| xaos11 | yeah, there should be some tutorials somewhere | 17:10 |
| cumulus007 | how to do that? | 17:11 |
| erUSUL | celdridge: maybe you can try photorec from the testdisk package | 17:11 |
| cumulus007 | okay | 17:11 |

| Shadoweaver | Uhh, not sure. I think so. If I did it was during the initial install yesterday | 17:54 |
| xaos11 | localadmin: the same package you have installed but with "-dev" at the end. i assume you're trying to compile something? | 17:54 |

| Huufarted | fiftyone, this isn't much of an answer for you, but you can auto-hide both bars and it helps a lot with windows extending past the edge | 20:42 |
| anonusing | ...in ubuntu of course | 20:42 |
| Huufarted | fiftyone, another answer is to change your resolution so it's longer and your desktop itself extends farther south. | 20:42 |
| Huufarted | of course that means you have to mouse up or down to traverse the new desktop real estate | 20:42 |

| djdinho | c=x | 20:55 |
| assassin1 | thanks all...let me get started on this. | 20:55 |
| Veinor | assassin1: XFCE is an altermate desktop environment based off of GTK. so gnome apps will work, but it's less resource-intensive so it works better on old computers | 20:55 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | assassin1: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/8.10/release/xubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso | 20:55 |
| fiftyone | !suicide | 20:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about suicide | 20:55 |
| |hashbang| | rainmanp7: hmm, sudo | 20:55 |
| ogre | assassin1: id use xubuntu alternate install cd | 20:55 |
| Jerusalem420 | hashbang http://paste.ubuntu.com/117012/ | 20:55 |
| _2 | so does killing "ksmserver" kill kwin ? | 20:55 |
| fiftyone | !killbot | 20:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about killbot | 20:55 |
| Pollywog | djdinho: you might try sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 20:55 |
| lithixium | assassin1, Xfce, is similar to GNOME, but lighter on resources | 20:55 |
| klipdrift | We have interactive whiteboards at school lol | 20:55 |
| Pollywog | to make sure you only have one session manager | 20:56 |

| djdinho | brb | 20:56 |
| rainmanp7 | |hashbang| no it's a extention you can install so you don't have to do that crap over and over in a terminal | 20:56 |
| |hashbang| | rainmanp7: ah, ok | 20:56 |
| Huufarted | !libdrm | 20:56 |

| Jerusalem420 | its usually a non working dns server | 20:58 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | keevie: I don't see that package in the repos. You must be installing from elsewhere? | 20:59 |
| Jerusalem420 | what process has the power to overwrite /etc/resolv.conf | 20:59 |
| djdinho | Pollywog are u there? | 20:59 |
| keevie | danbhfive_jaunty, yeah, its a deb from the amarok site | 20:59 |
| ogre | Myrtti: funny thing. i just installed your "spring" irssi theme like 30 seconds ago | 20:59 |
| |hashbang| | Jerusalem420: your ISP should be handing you out your name servers that get updated in /etc/resolv.conf. dhclient | 20:59 |
| rainmanp7 | Myrtti bot? | 20:59 |
| Myrtti | ogre: :-D | 20:59 |
| Myrtti | rainmanp7: no, definitely not. | 20:59 |
| lithixium | keevie, There's a launchpad repo for amarok 2.0 | 20:59 |
| Myrtti | rainmanp7: "[22:56] < rainmanp7> |hashbang| no it's a extention you can install so you..." | 20:59 |

| keevie | danbhfive_jaunty, i tried that too, same problems essentially | 21:00 |
| keevie | sathyrion, yes... | 21:00 |
| taylor_ | Ok; so the next thing: are any of you familiar with the latest Ubuntu buffer overflow bug? | 21:00 |
| |hashbang| | Jerusalem420: does that change your /etc/resolv.conf file? | 21:00 |
| keevie | lithixium, sprry, i meant you, but installing from the launchpad repo gives the same error essentially i can paste that output too if you want | 21:01 |

| Kamus_H_Zwisch | I can't find it in gentoo cflags wiki | 21:04 |
| lithixium | keevie, I'm guessing you've got dependency errors all over the place. Perhaps do an apt-get clean && update && dist-upgrade | 21:04 |
| rainmanp7 | Haha I found it | 21:04 |
| lithixium | then dist-upgrade with the -f option | 21:04 |
| guntbert | Kamus_H_Zwisch: this the ubuntu support forum | 21:04 |

| cutebunny | as i understand it there is some bug with the gnome network tool in ubuntu 8.10, any idea how i can get it to autoselect the new connection i've made? rather than falling back on its home-made crack-pipe connection? | 21:33 |
| Draken | what does key mean under automatically join channels mean under network properties in xchat? | 21:33 |
| guru9 | man i dislike that person PEER. it reseting alot of connetcion (LOL) | 21:33 |
| Banano | ... | 21:34 |
| Schuenemann | how can I make gnome ask me for confirmation before deleting a file? | 21:34 |
| guru9 | in console rm -i | 21:34 |
| Gabriel_ | lithixium so there is no way for using the existing library? I think it should be possible to write a programm which could read the library under windows, too | 21:34 |
| Schuenemann | guru9, ? | 21:34 |
| Gabriel_ | its a pitty that there isnt such a thing out there, ubuntu is so much better at this | 21:34 |
| bubba | hi, what is the name of the "default" mp3 ripper in Ubuntu | 21:35 |
| FurryNemesis | brasero, isn;t it? | 21:35 |
| keevie | bubba, there is no such thing as an mp3 ripper, if you mean cd ripper i think sound juicer | 21:35 |
| keevie | brasero is burning | 21:35 |
| Banano | rhythmbox can be used to rip cd's | 21:35 |
| FurryNemesis | oh that was it | 21:35 |
| bubba | keevie, sound juicer whas the program I was looking for. Thanks | 21:36 |
| Griswold | Anyone have any idea why my sound works for a while when I start my computer up | 21:36 |
| Griswold | Then I do nothing but leave it on while I sleep | 21:36 |
| Griswold | Wake up, try to play something, and it fails | 21:36 |
| Griswold | Just completely mute, but alsamixer, Gnome Volume Control, etc. don't show mute or anything | 21:37 |
| lithixium | Gabriel_, I think the best advice is to install the Windows driver without the added utility - but the ubuntu driver won't (to my knowledge) work. There is no CUPS for Windows | 21:37 |

| sathyrion | lol.. my compis was on :) Turned it of and jumped from 2300fps to 4100ish in glxgears :) | 21:38 |
| sathyrion | compiz* | 21:38 |
| Gabriel_ | lithixium, thats what i hate windows for. I cant install it without the added utilities | 21:39 |
| letalis | sathyrion: yeah compositing will cause a performance drop for sure. | 21:39 |
| lithixium | Gabriel_, I haven't used Windows in a while, but the inf file is probably available somewhere on the disc or in the download, which you can install manually with the Windows utils. Anyway, can't you switch completely to Linux? | 21:40 |
| Huufarted | Lithixium, there are some applications that are Windows only and simply don't have a Linux alternative as of yet. | 21:41 |
| bubba | keevie, then how can i set up sound juicer to create mp3 files? | 21:41 |
| Schuenemann | hey, how can I define file associations? I can't find that option in nautilus' preferences | 21:41 |
| keevie | bubba, im not sure, because i dont use it, look in the options? | 21:41 |
| Schuenemann | like mp3 -> audacious, etc | 21:41 |
| lithixium | Huufarted, that's true, but in my own experience I've managed to use Wine or virtualisation to solve the issues | 21:42 |
| Gabriel_ | lithixium, linux needs a lot of expertise and a huge bunch of hours to get into it. I do not really have the time, and to use linux without knowing what it really does is a step back, because i am "well educated" with windows XP stuff. When XP is not sold any longer i will have to switch. Maybe you could help me getting into it ;-) | 21:42 |
| Huufarted | yeah, Lithixium. That's true as well. There are some times where it's not an option. For instance, my wife is a middle school teacher and getting her school district to allow Linux on their work machines is about as easy as convincing Paris Hilton to leave men alone. | 21:43 |
| letalis | Gabriel_:i learned linux back in 1999 in about a year, and that was before it practically set itself up :) | 21:43 |

| attilacyilmazlar | how to send you that output? | 21:47 |
| letalis | Gabriel_:what were you having trouble with precisely? | 21:47 |
| cybrhuman | attilacyilmazlar, http://pastebin.com/ | 21:47 |
| Huufarted | Question for everybody. This laptop I'm currently on is running Ubuntu just fine. One of the things I like to use it for is to stream movies from a Windows based file server in my house. | 21:47 |

| Huufarted | When I play a movie, the max volume is barely HALF of the max through Windows. | 21:47 |
| Petengy | hi to all | 21:47 |
| Huufarted | Is there a way to increase that max volume just so it's audible? | 21:47 |
| Huufarted | I'm forced to boot back to WIndows just because I can't hear the audio in a movie. | 21:48 |
| letalis | Huufarted: sounds like you have more than one channel on your soundcard | 21:48 |
| Gabriel_ | I got trouble with soundcard, audiosetup and software, windowmanager and i was missing some windows specific programs like Earmaster and Photoshop | 21:48 |
| Huufarted | Letalis: Explain please. | 21:48 |
| solar-star | Hi | 21:48 |
| solar-star | Is there a way to configure the default value of the GNOME volume slider? | 21:48 |
| aiuw | Gabriel_, use GIMP for Photoshop | 21:48 |
| letalis | some soundcards can be setup for dolby sound | 21:48 |
| oCean_ | shwan_: what release is that? | 21:48 |
| Huufarted | It's a generic on-board Realtek audio. | 21:49 |
| sathyrion | ahh... Anarchy Online on ubuntu.. Dreams do come trough :) hehe | 21:49 |
| letalis | ie. home theater setup, when you dont have enough speakers it emulates it through two | 21:49 |
| Huufarted | gotcha, Letalis | 21:49 |
| letalis | volume levels on the mids and back speakers may not be setup right | 21:49 |
| shwan_ | oCean_: I have Itrepid , but there is some ting wrong as you see | 21:49 |
| Gabriel_ | aiuw GIMP has many differences and misses some features that are very important to me. Photoshop is commercial, it will always be some steps further | 21:49 |
| Huufarted | How do I modify that in Ubuntu (if there is a way)? | 21:49 |
| Huufarted | Gabriel, are you able to run Photoshop through Wine? | 21:50 |

| SkEmO | I've installed intrepid recently, but when linux is initializing it halts my wifi driver, it says "halt 13", how can i enable it? | 22:11 |
| antoni | jo voi salir | 22:11 |
| Anja_ | alucardromero which problem exactly? | 22:11 |
| alucardromero | Flash sound won't play in Firefox. | 22:12 |
| alucardromero | Checked my sound settings and they all work | 22:12 |
| alucardromero | Flash is only entity that doesn't. | 22:12 |
| shwan_ | Jack_Sparrow: what do you think , removing that and upgrade to Juanty ? | 22:12 |
| Schuenemann | hey, how can I define file associations? I can't find that option in nautilus' preferences. eg mp3 -> audacious | 22:12 |
| Anja_ | ^^ flash means Youtube for example? | 22:12 |
| alucardromero | Yeah. | 22:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shwan_ I see no way to fix what you have and an upgrade with that will certainly break even more things | 22:12 |
| Anja_ | Which Version do u use | 22:13 |
| Anja_ | Ubuntu? | 22:13 |
| alucardromero | I've reinstalled flash from the adobe.com and the package from the repositories. | 22:13 |
| SkEmO | i hate intrepid! is so slow | 22:13 |
| alucardromero | Intrepid | 22:13 |
| SkEmO | and it freezes | 22:13 |
| Banano | is it just sound that doesn't work? cause here it doesn't load anything in flash | 22:13 |
| Huufarted | Ok, just found a bug. One that will get annoying for sure. Dual monitor setup. Second monitor sits to the right of the first and is slightly lower. I have the hide buttons displayed so I can slide the bottom bar off the screen. When I do, it sticks the second monitor right through the middle. | 22:13 |
| wolter | hi | 22:13 |
| alucardromero | Yeah, it's just sound. | 22:13 |
| wolter | my touchpad's acceleration always disables when i wake from hibernation... | 22:14 |

| alucardromero | SkEmO: What wireless card are you using? | 22:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SkEmO thanks.. we appreciate it when people stick to the topic. | 22:15 |
| lithixium | josh1, what graphics card do you have? | 22:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !details | 22:16 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 22:16 |

| josh1 | im not sure | 22:16 |
| josh1 | how might i check that? | 22:16 |
| alucardromero | SkEmO: How did you install the drivers? ndiswrapper? | 22:16 |
| guntbert | adante: as far as I see, you are correct | 22:16 |

| lasivian | ok, when I try to SSH to my home computer I cannot connect and get no error message, but when I telnet to the ssh port it answers, any ideas? | 22:17 |
| SkEmO | because intrepid supports the card, i mean it has the driver, but it halts it | 22:17 |
| SkEmO | well more like it halts the wifi card | 22:17 |
| alucardromero | There's a package I grabbed off of madberry.com... lemme get you the exact linkl. | 22:17 |

| Huufarted | You asked a question, they answered. | 22:30 |
| theKernel | seems to be the only option huh | 22:30 |

| 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. | 22:30 |
| theKernel | its not a poll its a question for a recommendation | 22:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | theKernel same difference | 22:30 |

| Myrtti | RAMDAC: sorry, haven't got my crystal ball with me today, mind being a bit more specific | 22:32 |
| Myrtti | ? | 22:32 |
| ikonia | lasivian: what do you want to do ? | 22:32 |
| guntbert | lasivian: you said a) you can connect with putty, b) you have to use 442 instead of 22, right? | 22:33 |
| RAMDAC | Myrtti: when i installed ubuntu 8.10 i can't download the updates cuz there is was no internet connection even thought the internet connection was working in ubuntu 8.04 | 22:33 |
| lasivian | guntbert: correct | 22:33 |
| JPSman | does anyone know what version of virtual box completely works with 7.10? | 22:34 |
| jono | just to let you all know if you are using identi.ca, we have created an Ubuntu LoCo Teams group: http://identi.ca/group/ubuntulocoteams | 22:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JPSman define completely | 22:34 |
| guntbert | lasivian: ok, then from ubuntu you type in the shell: ssh -p 442 <name.of.your.host> | 22:34 |
| lasivian | ahhhhhh | 22:34 |
| lasivian | guntbert: I see what you mean now, thank you | 22:35 |
| JesperHansen | Since fsck has screwed up all of nodes on the harddrives ie. linking /sbin/shutdown to /sbin/umount.cifs and its wont fix it properly, is there anyway to just use apt-get to force reinstall everything and thereby fixing the nodes and such? | 22:35 |
| JPSman | Jack_Sparrow - USB, soundcards, network cards | 22:35 |
| lasivian | guntbert: awesome, works now, thank you | 22:35 |
| guntbert | lasivian: you will need the username in front as <user><host>... | 22:35 |
| JPSman | Jack_Sparrow - 7.10 installs the 1.5 natively - but the version go up to 2.2 | 22:36 |
| guntbert | lasivian: glad it works :) | 22:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JPSman usb requires the one direct from the web, not from repos, soundcards and network cards are VM not real drivers etc | 22:36 |
| letalis | has anyone gotten a hold of an acer aspire 9630 laptop here? i have my eyes on one and im going to take vista totally off of it and put ubuntu on it | 22:36 |
| letalis | :) | 22:36 |
| RAMDAC | Myrtti: when i installed ubuntu 8.10 i can't download the updates cuz there was no internet connection even though the internet connection was working in ubuntu 8.04 | 22:36 |
| JesperHansen | letalis: you shall regret choosing acer is their slogan | 22:37 |
| JPSman | Jack_Sparrow - one direct from the web? a 'driver'? (kinda a newbie here) | 22:37 |
| Myrtti | RAMDAC: you have to be a bit more specific than that dear. | 22:37 |
| RAMDAC | Myrtti: ok what info u want? | 22:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JPSman vbox needs to be the version off the web. not one that you can install from our repos | 22:37 |
| JPSman | jack_sparrow: thanks :OD | 22:38 |
| Myrtti | RAMDAC: you could start by finding out which network interface card you have | 22:38 |
| letalis | JesperHansen: how so? | 22:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JPSman http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 22:38 |

| spasticteapot | Where is this? | 22:40 |
| Anja_ | spasticteaport try apt-get install snd-usb-audio | 22:40 |

| ezerhoden | spasticteapot: grep -i usb_audio /boot/config-2.6.27-11-generic | 22:42 |
| ezerhoden | spasticteapot: it is in the kernel | 22:42 |
| spasticteapot | ezerhoden: Hmm. | 22:42 |
| Myrtti | RAMDAC: which Realtek? | 22:42 |
| spasticteapot | How do I get it to "talk" to my soundcard? | 22:42 |
| ezerhoden | spasticteapot: that is probably only one part of it, what card do you have? | 22:43 |
| RAMDAC | Myrtti: RTL8111/8168B | 22:44 |
| spasticteapot | M-Audio Audiophile USB. | 22:44 |

| mandrig | opr: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 22:45 |

| cwmoser | My Network Applet (nm-applet) does not have selection to set up a VPN like by other PC has. | 22:45 |
| mandrig | opr: once you do that, look in System > Preferences for compizconfig settings manager | 22:45 |
| RAMDAC | mneptok: Look i've found a solution by editing the etc/network/interfaces | 22:46 |
| PleXuS | anyone running CS4 Master Collection + wine ? | 22:47 |
| Jufis | opr: then you need to enable desktop cube and rotate desktop | 22:47 |
| mneptok | RAMDAC: what edits did you make? can you pastebin it? | 22:47 |
| RAMDAC | mneptok:by writing in it "auto eth0 | 22:48 |
| RAMDAC | iface eth0 inet dhcp" | 22:48 |

| Smegzor | anyway I'm going to do it without extra hardware. I don't see why I need extra hardware when the modem is internal and has the ability to plug in a headset. | 23:20 |
| Smegzor | ok that was funky | 23:20 |
| spass | lol | 23:20 |
| lockd | spam bomb | 23:20 |
| === elementz1 is now known as elementz | ||
| rww | Looks like we're in the middle of a channel flood, everyone. Sit tight and it should be over in a minute :) | 23:20 |
| letalis | well that was taken care of quickly. | 23:20 |
| letalis | lol | 23:20 |
| zhaozhou | x D | 23:20 |
| FoxBlitzz | Ha ha, Super Op Commandos | 23:20 |
| spass | floodbot acts quickly ;] | 23:21 |
| Smegzor | so all those kicked users were bots? | 23:21 |
| letalis | yep | 23:21 |
| spass | Smegzor: most likely | 23:21 |
| zhaozhou | All from the same IP, not a very good flood | 23:21 |
| letalis | probably a script that allowed them to join the server multiple times | 23:21 |
| letalis | with random names | 23:21 |
| happyface_0 | yay I love floods! They make life so exciting! | 23:22 |
| rww | anyway, back to normal Ubuntu stuff. | 23:22 |
| letalis | its as ancient as irc itself | 23:22 |
| ice_cream | weird... when i did "sudo eject -sv /dev/scd0" the last line of output was "eject: SCSI eject succeeded", yet the drive did not eject | 23:22 |
| ice_cream | had to physically take it out | 23:22 |
| Smegzor | so to cut a long story short, is it not possible to record the phone line just using a voice modem? I know it can be done in Windows. | 23:22 |
| happyface_0 | Is there a way to set nvidia/ubuntu to switch to a single-monitor if the other is unplugged? | 23:23 |
| letalis | happyface_0: the program nvidia-settings will allow you to make changes like that without modifying the X server settings | 23:23 |
| Smegzor | I would have the client use Skype but they are Brethren (no modern technology) | 23:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Smegzor It requires a special vice modem and special windows software. To the best of my knowledge, there is no equivalent. If you find one.. Please msg me here so I can check it out.. thanks | 23:24 |
| Smegzor | ok | 23:24 |
| happyface_0 | letalis: I've checked that out, but I don't see an option to auto-switch to single-view mode when a monitor is unplugged | 23:24 |
| Smegzor | I only lack the special windows software atm | 23:24 |
| Smegzor | I wonder if I can pull it off with my XP running in VirtualBox? | 23:24 |
| letalis | happyface_0: usually i just disable the second screen and hit apply from within that program | 23:24 |
| letalis | i dont think theres a way to auto disable it. | 23:25 |
| happyface_0 | thanks, letalis but I was looking for something automatic | 23:25 |
| letalis | i dont think it even disables it completely in windows. | 23:26 |
| naxa | i know the documentation says otherwise, but is it actually possible to update 7.10 to 8.04 to 8.10 from the normal install cd? (has anyone real (i.e. not from the documentation) experience in this?) | 23:26 |
| happyface_0 | Yes, it does :) | 23:26 |
| letalis | naxa: it could probably be done, but honestly, id attempt to save your filesystems in an 8.10 install. i imagine quite a bit changed between 7x and 8.10 | 23:29 |
| Titan8990 | Naxa, I have successfully done what you are talking about | 23:31 |
| adante | any lvm/linux people here - i just resize2fs and then lvreduce'd a partition - if i run fsck -f and it turns out ok am i in the clear? | 23:31 |
| Titan8990 | naxa, but you have to keep in mind many people have problems just updating from 8.04 to 8.10.... | 23:32 |
| letalis | id say clean install on everything with the exception of your home directory. | 23:32 |
| letalis | at least that way you retain your home folders. | 23:33 |
| Titan8990 | letalis, yes, that would be ideal | 23:33 |
| naxa | Titan8990, can you help me to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04? second thing do you tell me that i shouldn'T upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10? | 23:33 |
| Titan8990 | naxa, no I am telling you that it CAN work but it also may not | 23:33 |
| Titan8990 | naxa, letalis' suggestion of a clean install IS ideal | 23:34 |
| letalis | it can be done so that you retain your /home directory | 23:34 |
| FloodBot1 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 23:34 |
| Titan8990 | letalis, only if /home is on its own partition | 23:34 |
| letalis | that way, itll clean out anything old and install the system fresh without any of the old stuff left behind | 23:34 |
| letalis | yeah thats the drawback to it. | 23:35 |
| naxa | Titan8990, letalis i see. i can backup my home i think. but can you tell me how can i do the upgrade from cd? i would give it a try after backup. if it fails, i will do the normal install. also i am curious how to do that from the normal cd. | 23:35 |
| oled | also, backup any files you customized with root | 23:35 |
| Titan8990 | but really, just backing up /home and then restore it will be sufficient for most | 23:35 |
| letalis | the other option would be backup your home folder(s) and install 8.10 from scratch | 23:35 |
| CaneToad | how does one install an X server with debug symbols in intrepid? | 23:35 |
| Titan8990 | naxa, I am not sure if it can be done from a CD because it will also update applications that you have downloaded via apt-get | 23:36 |
| Titan8990 | naxa, maybe the unofficial full dvd | 23:36 |
| jrib | !debug | CaneToad | 23:36 |

| happyface_0 | I'm having trouble with my fingerprint reader. It works with tf-tool, but won't work on login screen or sudo... I'm on Intrepid and followed this http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader_with_ThinkFinger#Intrepid | 23:36 |
| naxa | Titan8990, i am aware of this so i thought to remove the downloaded packages first :) | 23:36 |
| jrib | CaneToad: I think those repositories should work. If not, ask again | 23:36 |
| rww | Titan8990, naxa: You can update from the alternate CD, not from the normal one, I think. | 23:37 |
| naxa | Titan8990, the problem is that i have a very low speed internet connection with no dvd but i've got the two cds. | 23:37 |
| Flare183 | rww: You are correct | 23:37 |
| naxa | rww, flarel83 that is said in the documentation but I heard that it is possible to do that without the alternate cd | 23:37 |
| Titan8990 | naxa, there ya go, its confirmed that it can be done, I however will not be able to offer assistance | 23:38 |
| Flare183 | flare183& | 23:38 |
| Flare183 | 'oops | 23:38 |
| Flare183 | flare183* | 23:38 |
| naxa | rww, i don't have the alternate cd right now, what is more i am curious 'couse this is against the documentation. it is interesting that it is possible. | 23:38 |
| === |hashbang| is now known as ^hashbang^ | ||
| naxa | Titan8990, ok thanks anyway :) i'll try and do it myself then | 23:38 |
| Titan8990 | naxa, in linux, everything is possible :) | 23:38 |
| oled | can't the CD be added as a software source? then "apt-get update" ? | 23:38 |
| Flare183 | Titan8990: So true | 23:38 |
| letalis | everything is possible. its all a matter of probability. | 23:39 |
| letalis | LOL | 23:39 |

| wolter | bernz, | 23:44 |
| Huufarted | New question! Is there any way to increase the scrollback buffer in the default terminal? | 23:44 |
| Flannel | happyface_0: Did you install libpam-thinkfinger, and then follow the instructions in the README.Debian file? | 23:45 |
| rww | Huufarted: Edit > Profiles > Edit > Scrolling > Scrollback: [...] lines | 23:45 |
| Huufarted | rww, sorry for asking the question. Somehow I missed the preferences section first go-around. | 23:46 |
| rww | Huufarted: no problem! gnome-terminal kinda hides it away, doesn't it :) | 23:46 |
| Huufarted | the 'Profile' prefix threw me off, that's all. | 23:47 |
| avtarr | hi, i would like a particular directory to be included in the PATH variable when using sudo. i've modified the /etc/environment file but that doesn't do the trick. is there another file that i should be editing? | 23:47 |
| avtarr | this is on ubuntu-server 8.10 | 23:47 |
| happyface_0 | no, Flannel: I didn't have libpam-thinkfinger installed | 23:48 |
| Huufarted | Avtarr, not sure if this is a valid answer with Ubuntu, but... | 23:48 |
| Huufarted | add it in the path in /root/.profile ? | 23:49 |
| SkEmO | what was that program to make windows drivers work on linux? | 23:49 |
| Huufarted | Skemo, what kind of driver? | 23:49 |
| SkEmO | atheros | 23:49 |
| Huufarted | ndiswrapper | 23:49 |
| SkEmO | wifi card | 23:49 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, if you are adding a path it should go in .bashrc | 23:49 |
| Huufarted | but... | 23:49 |
| SkEmO | oh thanks | 23:49 |
| Huufarted | that's the one, sorry, TItan. | 23:49 |
| Huufarted | Skemo, hang on | 23:49 |
| Huufarted | there's a better way to handle it IMO | 23:50 |
| Titan8990 | skeebo, no, you don't want to use ndiswrapper with a atheros card | 23:50 |
| SkEmO | how? | 23:50 |
| wolter | hey bernz, i fixed it! I just added uid=1000 to the options after user, like this 'user,uid=1000' | 23:50 |
| Huufarted | get the ath5k source and compile and install it IMO | 23:50 |
| rapidsecretions | My cd drive is no longer recognized at all and my block device scd0 is gone...How do I get it back? | 23:50 |
| Titan8990 | SkEmO, you want ath5k or madwifi | 23:50 |
| Huufarted | it's a super easy process | 23:50 |
| SkEmO | uhm, i dont know | 23:50 |
| Huufarted | Download, extract, run 4 commands and it's done | 23:50 |
| SkEmO | i tried with madwifi but i never got to compile it | 23:50 |
| SkEmO | http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2009-02-06.tar.bz2 | 23:50 |
| avtarr | forgot to mention, i edited /root/.bashrc and /root/.profile as well | 23:50 |
| SkEmO | i've got this one | 23:50 |
| SkEmO | haven tried it yet | 23:50 |
| avtarr | basically, i added this line: export PATH="$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin" | 23:51 |
| Huufarted | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=964836 | 23:51 |
| Huufarted | skemo, go to that link. | 23:51 |
| SkEmO | kk | 23:51 |
| Huufarted | download the tar.bz2 file and follow the instructions in that forum thread | 23:51 |
| avtarr | but /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin never gets referenced when i use sudo | 23:51 |
| Huufarted | there are 2 options in there, one is the backports module (ignore that one) | 23:51 |
| Huufarted | the second is to compile the ath5k drivers. That's the option you'll want since madwifi isn't working for you | 23:52 |
| SkEmO | i have the AR480, will that work too? | 23:52 |
| avtarr | it works if i do "sudo su -" | 23:52 |
| avtarr | but i don't want to be logged in as root | 23:52 |
| Huufarted | Probably. It's an issue with all Atheros cards in Intrepid apparently | 23:52 |
| fearful | avtarr: Then just do sudo | 23:52 |
| SkEmO | Huufarted: the thing with my laptop is that, i need to press a button to activate the wifi | 23:52 |
| SkEmO | and i press it and it wont turn on | 23:53 |
| melwtech35 | anyway can someone help me configureeeeeee pg_hba.conf? i am getting errors? | 23:53 |
| Rolcol | Does anyone know what format the video must be for Brasero to burn a VCD? | 23:53 |
| fearful | SkEmO: Why don't your right click the network icon and hit enable wireless? | 23:53 |
| SkEmO | suring linux initialization it says something like "wifi0 halted (hatl 13)" | 23:53 |
| avtarr | fearful: it doesn't work. for example this file exists: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 342 2009-02-11 17:26 /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/facter | 23:53 |
| SkEmO | fearful: its enabled | 23:53 |
| avtarr | but | 23:53 |
| avtarr | sudo facter | 23:54 |
| avtarr | sudo: facter: command not found | 23:54 |
| fearful | avtarr: You have to navigate to it | 23:54 |
