| Huufarted | Josh1, just ask the question, don't ask if you can ask it. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| yves_ | this may be a stupid noob-question: when i run something in terminal (e.g. espeak, i just open terminal and type espeak), how do I get back to normal terminal-mode? | 00:00 |
| vigo | avtarr: gksudo work? | 00:00 |
| avtarr | i've edited /root/.bashrc /root/.profile /etc/environment /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/login.defs but no dice | 00:00 |
| vigo | hrmmm | 00:00 |
| Huufarted | yves, first you need to ctrl-C to kill the app | 00:00 |
| yves_ | ok thx | 00:00 |
| Huufarted | OR you can type: espeak & | 00:01 |
| avtarr | and /root/.bash_profile | 00:01 |
| Huufarted | which will execute the application and return you to the terminal | 00:01 |
| dan__ | hello | 00:01 |
| Mavericks | josh1:what is your question | 00:01 |
| warbler99 | yves: generally ctrl-c works as an escape | 00:01 |
| mrwes | avtarr, have you tried /etc/profile? | 00:01 |
| wolter | hi, i am unable to execute anything on my ntfs storage drive... | 00:01 |
| mrwes | heh | 00:01 |
| spritle | anyone upgraded to 9.04 yet? | 00:02 |
| warbler99 | if you want to drop something into the background instead of exiting you can type ctrl-z followed by "bg" | 00:02 |
| dan__ | Can anyone help me get my VNC working? | 00:02 |
| Mavericks | wolter: permissions issue may be | 00:02 |
| melwtech35 | anyway can someone help me configureeeeeee pg_hba.conf? i am getting errors? | 00:02 |
| gmspence | dan___ whats the problem? | 00:02 |
| avtarr | mrwes: yup | 00:02 |
| avtarr | export PATH="$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin" | 00:02 |
| avtarr | with that in it | 00:02 |
| wolter | Mavericks, yeah.. the strange thing is that my user has 'create and delete' files, so nautilus said. | 00:02 |
| josh1 | i was trying to get the Mac look alike task bar, and well.. that didnt work, i deleted my taskbar as the insturctions on a web site said to, i was able to get a taskbar back, but i cant minamize anything to it, i found out that i cant run AWN which had the mac taskbar i wanted, what can i do about both these issues? | 00:02 |
| Huufarted | I'm looking at adding a shutdown/reboot to my cron for a weekly reboot. What's the safest reboot command to use for this? | 00:03 |

| dan__ | I'm running RealVNC on my windows machine, and attempting to connect from my ubuntu laptop, but nothing happens when I try to use any of the VNC clients i've got installed | 00:03 |
| wolter | Mavericks, also, i chmod +x all the files. | 00:03 |

| gregspence | the windows machine on the same network? | 00:03 |
| dan__ | Yes | 00:03 |
| Huufarted | avtarr: export PATH; PATH=<Your path> | 00:03 |
| avtarr | here's the weird part | 00:03 |
| avtarr | i just tried this... | 00:03 |
| avtarr | sudo echo $PATH | 00:03 |
| avtarr | - /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin | 00:03 |
| Pici | avtarr: why sudo? | 00:03 |
| vigo | @echo $path ,,yada yada yada | 00:05 |
| Guest59739 | hello, can anyone please tell me how many source links they got in their software sources? | 00:05 |
| mrwes | avtarr, does the group have rites to that path? | 00:05 |
| === Guest59739 is now known as nifty | ||
| Huufarted | Avtarr, are YOU trying to execute this program or is some root command executing it? | 00:05 |
| Flannel | Guest59739: You don't need any. | 00:05 |
| nifty | flannel why not? | 00:05 |
| spritle | can 8.10 direct upgrade to 9.04 without reinstalling? | 00:05 |
| dan__ | Ive got thee port opened, and i even got it to prompt me for a pssword once, but now it wont even do that anymmore | 00:05 |
| Flannel | spritle: Yes. #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty questions. | 00:05 |
| fearful | avtarr: That command "sudo gedit" will open it as a text file | 00:05 |
| Flannel | nifty: Because you don't need any source repos | 00:05 |
| spritle | ah | 00:06 |
| fearful | avtarr: It's a test | 00:06 |
| avtarr | Huufarted: i'm logged in as a normal user and typing "sudo facter" | 00:06 |
| nifty | flannel: how so? i got find anything in the software package manager | 00:06 |
| gregspence | dan___ u get my msg? | 00:06 |
| avtarr | Huufarted: facter is a script in that directory i mentioned | 00:06 |
| nifty | i cannot find anything that is | 00:06 |
| Flannel | nifty: source repositories vs binary repositories | 00:06 |
| Huufarted | ah... | 00:06 |
| fearful | avtarr: Yea try and open it in text "sudo gedit facter" to see if it working like the file | 00:06 |
| xoox | I had packages from a wrong distro version in a directory that I had in my sources.list. I did an 'apt-get update' and then noticed I was going to install those packages on upgrade. I removed the line from sources.list, apt-get update; apt-get clean; but the packages are still listed for upgrade (I know they are being pulled from file on my machine through apt-cache policy). What gives? | 00:06 |
| melwtech35 | anyway can someone help me configureeeeeee pg_hba.conf? i am getting errors? | 00:07 |
| nifty | flannel: ok so what do i need to find software such as amule, ssh, tightvnc and so forth? | 00:07 |
| Huufarted | Avtarr, what's the exact error it gives you? | 00:07 |
| avtarr | Huufarted: sudo: facter: command not found | 00:07 |
| sathyrio1 | nifty: use command: sudo apt-get install amule ssh tightvnc | 00:07 |
| avtarr | but when i log in as root by doing "sudo su -" | 00:08 |
| avtarr | then it works | 00:08 |
| nifty | i have and it says it cannot find it | 00:08 |
| Huufarted | Avtarr, add it to your path | 00:08 |
| Huufarted | not to root's path | 00:08 |
| Flannel | nifty: Er... ssh is installed by default. amule is in universe and tightvnc is in multiverse. Which both are enabled by default on recent versions of Ubuntu. Whta version of Ubuntu are you using? | 00:08 |
| === sathyrio1 is now known as sathyrion | ||
| === tgarneau is now known as misfitx7 | ||
| avtarr | yea it's in my path as well | 00:08 |
| nifty | flannel: i downloaded the alternative 8.10 desktop version | 00:08 |
| Lord_Nightmare | if i apt-get install an already insalled package and it says "<package> set to manually installed." how do i UNSET that? | 00:08 |
| avtarr | this is really weird, i've done this a million times before | 00:08 |
| avtarr | :/ | 00:09 |
| Huufarted | does it show up when you 'echo $PATH' without sudo? | 00:09 |
| Lord_Nightmare | otherwise that messes up autoremove | 00:09 |
| avtarr | yup | 00:09 |
| redvamp128 | xoox: purge? | 00:09 |
| Flannel | nifty: Alright. When you installed, did you have the computer connected to the internet? | 00:09 |
| nifty | flannel: yes | 00:09 |
| Huufarted | perhaps control characters in the script's name. do this: ls -b <full_path_for_facter> | 00:09 |
| Flannel | nifty: Alright, go ahead and pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list, I'll take a look at them | 00:09 |

| redvamp128 | xoox: I don't know the usage-- but I need to check-- I just know that you have tried clean-- but have seen purge used before | 00:10 |
| Mavericks | josh1: regarding this issue - can you post the website the instructions? | 00:10 |
| Pollywog | what can be done when an app's dialog box is too big for the screen? | 00:10 |
| nifty | flannel: can i pm you? | 00:10 |
| Flannel | nifty: Ah. Is this a fresh install? (That all looks fine) | 00:10 |
| Mavericks | josh1: there might be a missing link or a piece of information in it , or sometihng related to deletion | 00:10 |
| nifty | flannel: yes its a new install | 00:11 |
| xoox | redvamp128: Purge is used to remove configuration files when removing a package | 00:11 |
| Flannel | nifty: right. Before you can install anything, you need to fetch the list of packages: sudo apt-get update | 00:11 |
| redvamp128 | spritle: Ask that question in #ubuntu+1 you are more likely to find someone who either has 9 or has upgraded | 00:11 |
| nifty | flannel: i already installed the os can i still do this after installed? | 00:11 |
| Flannel | nifty: After that, you can install stuff. Again, ssh is already installed. And others likely have slightly different names. apt-cache search [whatever] | 00:11 |
| Flannel | nifty: Yeah, you need to do this after you install. | 00:12 |
| nifty | flannel: ok thanks ill try it now | 00:12 |

| Flannel | peope: generic kernel does have PREEMPT enabled, server doesn't. | 00:12 |
| peope | Flannel: strange.. what do we have linux-rt package for then? | 00:13 |

| Smegzor | yay! I have a skype connection to my client after all. How easy is it to record a skype call in Ubuntu? On Windows there is a plugin for that but it is an exe. If I am desperate I can install Skype on my virtual XP and do it that way. | 00:23 |
| foolz | bodsda, thanks... seemed to work... are Compiz and Beryl the same thing now? I have been letting my linux knowledge stagnate lately unfortunately :) | 00:23 |
| ^hashbang^ | Smegzor: if you get sound working through Virtualbox let me know | 00:23 |

| Bodsda | foolz, nope, never where never will be -- beryl is discontinued and the compiz extras team joined with the compiz guys to create compiz-fusion | 00:24 |
| Smegzor | ^hashbang^: I've had sound in virtualbox for ages. I'm about to install Skype there. I'll letcha know if that works with sound. | 00:24 |

| Forza | hey guys quick question... i have a 2.4ghz core 2 duo with 4gb of ram.... should i install x86 or x64 version of ubuntu??? what is your opinion? | 00:24 |
| Pollywog | Bigglezor: did you forget the MBR | 00:24 |
| Pollywog | ? | 00:24 |
| Pollywog | dogmagitron: you might try the bootlog | 00:25 |
| ^hashbang^ | Smegzor: under ubuntu being the host? you have sound from your windows system? hmmmm | 00:25 |
| Bigglezor | well I was readying a tut that said let it do its thing and the boot screen should come up | 00:25 |
| Smegzor | yip | 00:25 |
| Bigglezor | *reading | 00:25 |
| foolz | bodsda, ah, okay... I guess it might be easiest for me to just uninstall this Beryl version I have now, or whatever it is, and get the latest compiz-fusion thing then | 00:25 |
| linuxman410 | Forza x64 i would | 00:25 |
| ^hashbang^ | Smegzor: I'll have to poke around somemore then =) | 00:25 |
| Bigglezor | so left it to use hd0 | 00:25 |
| Smegzor | I disabled pulse audio | 00:25 |
| Pollywog | you have to enable the bootlog and I think the way to do it has changed recently | 00:25 |
| ^hashbang^ | Smegzor: ah, good idea | 00:25 |
| ^hashbang^ | Smegzor: thx | 00:25 |
| Bigglezor | yea, the install has changed from last time i used it | 00:26 |
| Pollywog | it was in /etc/default | 00:26 |
| Bigglezor | i think | 00:26 |
| Bigglezor | but as i say, am a nab | 00:26 |
| Forza | linuxman410, is the performane increase noticable? | 00:26 |
| Bodsda | foolz, yes! get rid of beryl now! | 00:26 |
| dogmagitron | thanks Pollywog | 00:26 |
| josh1 | are there any codes i can use to fix my taskbar? i have one but when i minamize things, they disaper and do not go onto it | 00:26 |
| Bigglezor | it's set up by default to use the bootloader | 00:26 |
| linuxman410 | Forza i think it is i am running the x64 version | 00:26 |
| Pici | josh1: you need to add the 'window list' applet to your panel. | 00:27 |
| Forza | yeah im running x64 on my main desktop, and its great but i have 8bg of ram | 00:27 |
| Smegzor | ^hashbang^: with pulse audio enabled, ubuntu would lose sound while virtualbox had it, unless I was playing music when I launched virtualbox. with pulse disabled, both can use sound without issue. | 00:27 |
| Pollywog | Bigglezor: I think you will have to install again but first read the documentation about how to finish the install | 00:27 |
| Forza | i was wondering if it was owrth it for the laptop with 4gb considering some of the troubles you run into with x64 | 00:27 |
| Pollywog | it is a bit tricky sometimes to write the MBR correctly | 00:27 |
| linuxman410 | Forza my desktop only has 2gb ram but i notice a difference | 00:27 |
| Bigglezor | re-installing is fine, takes no time, just the documentation i've foindf on the net if for an old ver | 00:28 |
| Bigglezor | *found | 00:28 |

| Bacta | reboot | 00:39 |
| YankDownUnder | Bacta, Did you setup your sources to include beta/unreleased stuff? | 00:39 |
| Bacta | Don't think so, how can I? | 00:39 |
| craigbass1976 | Pollywog, how to I boot to cli only? I' at a boot: prompt, and haven't yet found the answer in google. I don't want to install, just grab some files | 00:39 |

| Pollywog | Droopsta915: yes | 00:46 |
| YankDownUnder | sileni, Have you manually edited the sources.list and uncommented those? | 00:46 |

| YankDownUnder | Pollywog, If you edit the /etc/inittab and change the default to 1, does that not correct the issue? | 00:48 |
| YankDownUnder | rambo298, Not sure mate. Not sure... | 00:48 |

| andrei | fluxbox work with puppy linux ? | 00:51 |
| YankDownUnder | sileni, Matter of fact, if you already know where the .deb files are for SPIM, you should be able to just d/l them and install them manually if all else fails... | 00:51 |

| YankDownUnder | sileni, I'd tend to reckon that the person responsible for packaging it did not upgrade themselves... | 00:52 |
| Gnea | sileni: there's probably a very good reason why it's not in intrepid...probably because it isn't actively maintained anymore | 00:52 |
| daleharvey | on boot it enters the initramfs shell | 00:52 |
| YankDownUnder | sileni, You'll have to pastebin it mate. | 00:52 |

| YankDownUnder | rambo298, In your home dir, most likely it's called ".mozilla" | 00:53 |
| galvanize | bash | 00:53 |
| rambo298 | i see it but there're several dirs there ... appreg extensions firefox mozver.dat pluginreg.dat plugins | 00:53 |
| YankDownUnder | sileni, Looks good - did you do the "apt-get update" or whatever, to reload the database? | 00:54 |
| ^hashbang^ | galvanize: add export PS1=`\u@\h \w > ' to your ~/.bashrc | 00:54 |
| rambo298 | in firefox? there's profiles.ini | 00:54 |
| Gnea | galvanize: oh, then you're doing it wrong on both fronts. bash doesn't use 'set', it exports the PS1 value. also, you'd need to place it in ~/.bashrc to have any permanent effect | 00:54 |
| sileni | YankDownUnder: yes, i did | 00:54 |
| galvanize | ok thanks everyone | 00:54 |

| Huufarted | YankDownUnder, nope. "Direct Rendering Module" which explains why it's needed for some graphics drivers. | 00:58 |

| quadaptor | exists a command thats extract n bytes from the middle (= a specified position) of a file, like tail/head? e.g. command -s 35 -b 29 => extract 29 bytes from byte/position 35 (starts at 29. byte) | 01:12 |

| jruss | Hi I have been with ubuntu for a while but I am an IRC noob, so please go easy on me. I am having a bizarre system failure and I have run out of ideas of how to track it down. | 01:28 |
| jruss | I get a kernel panic at boot | 01:28 |
| mzz | alan: probably! | 01:28 |
| mzoer | hello newbie here | 01:28 |
| alan | i am having trouble installing compiz, hoping for some assistance | 01:29 |
| letalis | jruss: what was the last major change you made before the panic | 01:29 |
| Gnea | CNLiberal: not sure, never used it. if I were to start anywhere, it'd be with step #7 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461 | 01:29 |
| _DEL | how do i remove gnome desktop environment? | 01:29 |
| mzoer | anyone able to help me install my wireless adapter? | 01:29 |
| jruss | well it doesn't happen consistently | 01:29 |
| jruss | it first happened a few months ago | 01:29 |
| CNLiberal | Gnea...thanks i'll look | 01:29 |
| jruss | the panic says that it failed to sync and it could not find init | 01:29 |
| mzz | alan: what are you trying to do exactly? If you have a regular ubuntu install you probably already have compiz, although it may not be running | 01:30 |
| jruss | however if my system sits off for a little while then things boot up fine | 01:30 |
| alan | no, not that simple unfortunately | 01:30 |
| letalis | jruss: maybe a hardware issue if your system does it intermittantly | 01:30 |
| mzz | jruss: that sounds like it's not picking up the root filesystem (or probably actually the drive that is on) for some reason | 01:30 |
| jruss | but after running for any where from minutes to a few days it will hang hard | 01:30 |
| CNLiberal | i'm gonna try marking the disk as bad | 01:30 |
| Gnea | jruss: is your CPU or motherboard overheating? | 01:30 |
| jruss | and then when I reboot I get the kernel panic | 01:30 |
| ari_stress | _DEL: you want to use text mode only? | 01:30 |
| CNLiberal | i hope i don't break this thing | 01:30 |
| alan | i uninstalled what i had, trying to install a newer version, because i wanted a different alt-tab app switcher | 01:31 |
| pregier | jruss: have you tried any hardware diagnostics yet? | 01:31 |
| jruss | i used lm-sensor to check temps | 01:31 |
| jruss | MB and CPU were in the 35-40 range | 01:31 |
| Gnea | jruss: what do they usually report back? | 01:31 |
| jruss | there wasn't a heave load | 01:31 |
| alan | and now i cant get the new version working, and i never set up the original version myself, so i dont know what to do for that | 01:31 |
| Gnea | jruss: celcius? | 01:31 |
| mzz | jruss: if it breaks intermittently and then stays broken until you leave the system off for a while that definitely sounds like either bad hardware or a loose cable to me | 01:31 |
| pregier | jruss: smartctl -a /dev/sdX might be worth checking out | 01:31 |
| jruss | yes C | 01:31 |
| _DEL | ari_stress I have kde installed | 01:31 |
| mzz | jruss: what pregier said is an excellent idea | 01:32 |
| mzoer | can anyone help with a wireless installation question? | 01:32 |
| mzz | jruss: I'd also physically replug the relevant (hd) cables | 01:32 |
| jruss | I checked out smartctl on my disks and they all passed | 01:32 |
| mzz | mzoer: just ask the question (I probably can't answer but someone else might) | 01:32 |
| jruss | I unhooked all disk but the boot disk and I still get the kernel panic | 01:32 |
| mzz | jruss: I'd need a few more lines from the failing kernel to confirm it's not finding the hd | 01:32 |
| jruss | I also ran e2fsck on the boot drive with the -c option to check badblocks and it passed | 01:33 |
| mzz | jruss: (perhaps take a picture of the screen and upload that somewhere) | 01:33 |
| ari_stress | _DEL: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, but i'm not sure whether it will break your ubuntu or not | 01:33 |
| jruss | give me a minute and I will get you the actual message when it fails | 01:33 |
| mzz | jruss: if it's just the filesystem that's bad I'd expect it to fail differently (no intermittent boot failure and no hard hang, "just" a forced remount readonly) | 01:33 |
| jruss | it is short | 01:33 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | I am dual booting windows and ubuntu and i had two partitions ntfs and three ext3 and swap for linux . so before 3 days i used mkfs.ext3 and maked the ntfs to an ext3 partition and everything was fine.... but yesterday i booted on windows and i shaw that the ntfs D:/ ICON was still there ... sto i deleted because i thought it was not useful but as long as i booted linux the ext3 has been also vanished and i can't find anywhere . i | 01:34 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | type fdisk -lu and it becomes clear that windows has maked the new ext3 partition .. just free space . The bad thing is tha had some data in there and i want to know if there is a posibiliity to recover the partition somehow . Ithink that it must be possible because i hevent formated it i have just hit delete from windows but windows was showing an empty device so windows was just searching for the old ntfs partition and insteed | 01:34 |
| mzoer | When I boot Ubuntu, there are no lights on my Microsoft wireless aapter, how do I install it? | 01:34 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | it found nothing . So how to recover my ext3 deleted by the windows partition ? | 01:34 |

| x_O | no thats what im here | 01:34 |
| x_O | they wont do anything | 01:34 |
| _DEL | ari_stress, tnx | 01:34 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: I've done (roughly) that and gotten my data back by repartitioning (using fdisk) to the *exact* same layout | 01:34 |
| wolter | hey kinja-sheep, whats up? its just me, bothering you again | 01:35 |
| jrib | x_O: if they don't know they have customers who want linux support then they definitely won't do anything, yes | 01:35 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz :yes ok but the right /dev/sda5 is substituted by the home partition | 01:35 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: so if you simply create another partition in the empty space (and make very sure you do not format it) you may be able to mount it again just fine | 01:35 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: the partition numbers don't matter | 01:36 |
| jruss | Here is the message when it fails to boot: | 01:36 |

| x_O | yea one person is going to make a difference | 01:36 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: hmmm so you mean the command mkfs.ext3 ? | 01:36 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: no! | 01:36 |
| x_O | looking for a workaround not a suggestion to email abc lol | 01:36 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: do *not* run anything with "mkfs" in it. You do not want to make a filesystem, you already have one | 01:36 |
| alan | i had compiz 0.7.4, tried to get 0.7.8 - that is not in my package manager so i tried to download and compile source from compiz-fusion.org, but a script was missing from the archive | 01:36 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: you'd just run fdisk (or possibly something fancier, like gparted) to create a new partition, making sure it is *not* formatted (left uninitialized) | 01:37 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz : yes ok so what do i have to type to make it live again ? | 01:37 |
| alan | i tried following instructions on ubuntu.com, and it installed, but just freezes my computer immediately when i run | 01:37 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: I'm not sure if you can do this through gparted. If you can that'd probably be easiest. | 01:37 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz : you mean i have to count which is the empty space? | 01:37 |
| pregier | jruss: do you have any lines from before your panic? | 01:37 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, you not there? | 01:37 |
| jruss | there are no lines | 01:37 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: if there is no other free space and all space was used before using fdisk for this is probably pretty easy too (if you don't mind a text-based interface) | 01:37 |
| wolter | i need help with suspend, i can't wake it up after suspending. | 01:37 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: yes gparted is easy but does not support ext3 only ext2 | 01:38 |

| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: me too :-) | 01:38 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: do you want to try doing this with fdisk? | 01:38 |

| jruss | pregier | 01:39 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz :can you give a small example ? | 01:39 |
| jruss | how do I get more info | 01:39 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: ok. Do you happen to have a hard disk around with at least as much free space as the entire affected drive's size? | 01:39 |
| mustangg | hey the chan. I'm trying to find out from where does the installer (alt iso) get the hostname to populate the field for that part of the installation. | 01:39 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: yes an external hdd | 01:39 |
| jruss | it will always boot up if I let it sit off for a while | 01:39 |
| jrib | x_O: the workaround is to install windows in a vm or whatever. I'm serious about letting hulu.com know about linux support | 01:39 |
| jruss | then after I use it for a while it will freeze, no keyboard, mouse, ssh | 01:40 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz : the wd 320 GB :-) in ntfs . | 01:40 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: you could copy the entire raw hd image to that. That way you can't lose any data if you make a mistake using fdisk. That'll take a while though. | 01:40 |
| jruss | and it will kernel panic at boot | 01:40 |
| pregier | jruss: if you can get to a grub prompt, try looking around your your partition with something like "cat (hd0,X)/<TAB><TAB>" to see if it can actually list files on that partition | 01:40 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: thanks nice idea | 01:40 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz : i will keep the important data at least :-) | 01:40 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: (personally I wouldn't bother, but the data on this system isn't *that* valuable, so...) | 01:40 |
| pregier | jruss: if you can't even list files then you've narrowed it down pretty close to your hard drive | 01:41 |
| jruss | pregier: I have it booted now because it has been off | 01:41 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: I meant boot from a livecd and dd the entire raw disk image over. That way you can re-attempt the recovery if it fails. | 01:41 |
| jruss | what should I look at at | 01:41 |
| pregier | jruss: if it's working fine, look closer at "smartctl -a /dev/sdX" | 01:41 |
| lacita | need to know what wireless driver i m running? Any ideas? | 01:41 |
| mzz | lacita: dmesg usually has that information | 01:41 |

| mzz | lacita: (that's a command to run, try "dmesg|less") | 01:41 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: dd is that a tool that i need ? | 01:41 |
| lacita | mzz: thanks | 01:42 |
| pregier | jruss: that's your filesystem; mzz mentioned if it was the contents of the filesystem you'd get different errors | 01:42 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: i think tha writes raw data 0101010 on the drive? | 01:42 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: if you want to do this backup that's a tool you can use (although I've used simply "cat" or "cp" to do the same thing with no obvious ill effect) | 01:42 |
| rapidsecretions | My cd drive is no longer recognized at all and my block device scd0 is gone...How do I get it back? | 01:42 |

| CNLiberal | i think i have the drive added back, but jfs_fsck is having issues. The array isn't started, so I'm gonna reboot | 01:46 |
| Crazytom | georgy_28, i've reinstalled it twice | 01:46 |
| pregier | jruss: neither of these has anything to do with selftests, i.e. smartctl -t | 01:46 |
| kindofabuzz | how would i change gnome-terminal to start up in ~/Desktop instead of just ~? | 01:46 |
| mzz | jruss: there's a passed/not passed summary near the top iirc, but looking at the individual values can be interesting too | 01:46 |
| mustangg | any possibilities for why a fresh install seems to know my previous hostname? I've thoroughly dd'd the drives which were involved. | 01:47 |
| georgy_28 | Crazytom, : oh !! | 01:47 |
| jruss | what is the command to get the info I need for this drive? | 01:47 |
| alan | anyone can help with getting compiz to run without freezing?? | 01:47 |
| mzz | kindofabuzz: mmm, if gnome-terminal sets TERM to something recognizable (not just "xterm") you could do that in your bashrc | 01:47 |
| computer_ | anyone have experience with festival? | 01:47 |
| Crazytom | georgy_28, was that a good oh? | 01:47 |
| kindofabuzz | mzz, so check .bashrc? | 01:47 |
| pepperjack | alan: id check your driver. if using nvidia install the nvidia-glx driver | 01:47 |
| mzz | kindofabuzz: not so much "check" as "add some code" :) | 01:48 |
| _DEL | ari_stress, do you know how to reinstall? | 01:48 |
| atom^x | Crazytom, have you installed mysql? and is it running? | 01:48 |
| kindofabuzz | mzz, k thanks, i'll experiment =) | 01:48 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep!!!!! | 01:48 |
| === eric is now known as talntid | ||
| mzz | kindofabuzz: (something like "[[ $TERM = gnome-terminal ]] && cd ~/Desktop") | 01:48 |
| alan | pepperjack: pretty sure i installed that first thing after ubuntu | 01:48 |
| pepperjack | alan: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:49 |
| georgy_28 | Crazytom, :http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress maybe this will help you : | 01:49 |
| mzz | oh hey, I have gnome-terminal | 01:49 |
| Crazytom | atom^x, it's been installed but i'm not totally sure it's running | 01:49 |
| mzz | kindofabuzz: drat, my gnome-terminal sets TERM=xterm. Yours may differ though (this isn't ubuntu) | 01:49 |
| mzz | kindofabuzz: ah, try with COLORTERM instead of TERM | 01:49 |
| cxvxb | root, are you using irc as sudo? | 01:49 |
| UncleGemc | when I kill X it just restarts and prompts login how do I keep it dead? | 01:49 |
| alan | pepperjack: "mouse" "kbd" "nvidia" "nvidia" | 01:50 |
| kindofabuzz | k | 01:50 |
| mzz | UncleGemc: you need to stop gdm. That's probably close to "/etc/init.d/gdm stop", but not quite that | 01:50 |
| Kryzler | ubuntu uses bash by default yeah? | 01:50 |
| * mzz waits for someone to correct him | 01:50 | |
| mzz | Kryzler: not for /bin/sh | 01:50 |
| Pici | mzz: Thats actually correct. | 01:50 |
| UncleGemc | ok, ty I will lok at it | 01:50 |
| UncleGemc | look* | 01:50 |
| mzz | yay, lucky guess | 01:50 |
| bernz | mzz, what about switching to a text session (ctrl-alt-f1) | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Kryzler, bash is the default USER shell.. sh (dash) is the default system shell | 01:50 |
| mzz | Kryzler: is the default login shell though iirc | 01:51 |
| atom^x | Crazytom, search for lamp install guide... | 01:51 |
| bernz | mzz, (assuming the point is to get to a non-X shell of some sort) | 01:51 |
| Kryzler | cool | 01:51 |
| pepperjack | alan: gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log see if you see any errors around the time it freezes etc not sure | 01:51 |
| mzz | bernz: oh, good point. | 01:51 |
| Crazytom | this one? htps://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 01:51 |
| cxvxb | Listen up: If you're using the mplayer that Ubuntu comes with, rather than compiling the latest version of mplayer, you are missing out on 3 years of development. the mplayer that comes with ubuntu is 3 YEARS old. There's a ton of more codecs and formats that are supported. | 01:51 |
| mzz | UncleGemc: if what you're actually trying to do is get a non-X shell just do what bernz said | 01:51 |
| Droopsta915 | Whats a good application to extract .rar files? | 01:51 |
| atom^x | Crazytom, ubutto has a link I am sure. | 01:51 |
| mzz | UncleGemc: and it's probably cleaner to run the /etc/init.d/gdm stop from there than to do it from inside a running X session. | 01:51 |
| bernz | mzz, but your suggestion is more "effective" | 01:52 |
| Gnea | !sudo | 01:52 |
| ubottu | 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) | 01:52 |
| atom^x | !lamp | 01:52 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 01:52 |
| mzz | bernz: well, it depends on what he's actually trying to do (get to a non-X terminal or stop X) | 01:52 |
| UncleGemc | well, you see im on windows right now with xming and I don't really need x on the linux box running right? | 01:52 |
| bernz | UncleGemc, right, X is only for humans (to see what's going on) | 01:53 |
| kindofabuzz | mzz, it was easier than i thought, just ad cd /home/<user>/Desktop to the end of .bashrc | 01:53 |
| mzz | UncleGemc: probably not. May want to stop it from restarting when the system reboots if this system is (normally) only used remotely. | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis | UncleGemc, You dont need x Running.. but you may want to keep X and the apps installed.. | 01:53 |
| mzz | kindofabuzz: that'll always do it, not just for gnome-terminal. | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis | I use xming all the time. :) its handy | 01:53 |
| alan | pepperjack: its been a few days since i last attempted to run compiz - i guess ill need to run it again, let it freeze, then check the .log? | 01:53 |
| UncleGemc | I want to keep it installed I just dont need it ran locally | 01:53 |
| Crazytom | atom^x, that's what I was following | 01:53 |
| bernz | kindofabuzz, there's also a ".profile" (i think a very ancient tradition, but i could be wrong about that), which most shells respect | 01:53 |
| pepperjack | alan: maybe id cp the log after that and check ubuntu forums for similar problems. | 01:53 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: here you are http://pastebin.com/m6e15c80d | 01:54 |
| _DEL | does anyone know how to reinstall gnome? | 01:54 |
| pregier | ... so i've been having a heck of a time switching inputs on my hauppauge pvr-250 under intrepid; v4l2-ctl is supposed to do this now instead of ivtvctl, but no luck here. Has anyone else seen this? | 01:54 |
| bernz | (and into which you could put "last minute hacks" for login) | 01:54 |
| redvamp128 | _DEL: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 01:54 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | _DEL, : yes install kde and then install gnome again :-) | 01:54 |
| jruss | I don't recall seeing any errors reported when I ran the smartctl test | 01:54 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: oh, great, you actually know the old layout | 01:54 |
| jruss | but now the system has hung | 01:54 |
| mustangg | is there any good docs/faq on how to do a fresh install with raid0 (for LVM), during setup but before selecting to use LVM reconfigures things on its own..? | 01:54 |
| jruss | and I won't be able to run it again | 01:54 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | _DEL, : or do it from the coomand line :-) | 01:54 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz : ofcourse :-) | 01:55 |
| redvamp128 | AETE_KRAOUD: why does he have to install KDE-- why not just XFCE-- Xubuntu | 01:55 |
| alan | pepperjack: thanks, i had no idea where to look, this is a starting point at least | 01:55 |
| timbojimbo | yo.. any one with amarok? | 01:55 |
| redvamp128 | AETE_KRAOUD: Much smaller footprint than KDE | 01:55 |
| mzz | mustangg: this is not the best solution, but what you could do is just use any livecd to set up lvm/raid/etc the way you like it, then run the installer | 01:55 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | redvamp128, : no KDE is actually better and faster | 01:55 |
| Dante123 | hi all, installed gnomeppp and what I thought was the latest Conexant driver (deb file) on friends Dell Inspiron 1501 for modem (version has same kernel number as the Ubuntu 8.10 he is running). However, there is no modem detected on the system. Is there some command I have to run or something to get the modem detected? Modprobe? or some config command? | 01:55 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | redspike, : KDE rocks | 01:55 |
| carpii | i have a web server and want to mount my new 2nd drive to hold two different directories. Can I do this via mount, or should I just use symlinks from drive 1 to drive 2? | 01:55 |
| mzz | mustangg: iirc it'll let you use the lvm lvs that already exist | 01:55 |
| _DEL | thanks AETE_KRAOUD, redvamp128 | 01:56 |
| redvamp128 | AETE_KRAOUD: actually My KDE takes about 1min 42 seconds to load and takes up more room on the drive than my XFCE (which takes 46 seconds to load) | 01:56 |
| _DEL | its installing from command | 01:56 |
| timbojimbo | AETE_KRAOUD: I have heard alot about KDE but as of now i still like gnome better man | 01:56 |
| kindofabuzz | woohoo Lenny this weekend! =) | 01:56 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | redvamp128, : i use KDE in my laptop | 01:56 |
| redvamp128 | AETE_KRAOUD: my gnome actually takes 52 seconds to load | 01:56 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | redvamp128, : and it is faster than ecerything !!!!!!!1 | 01:56 |
| timbojimbo | AETE_KRAOUD: i have also used kde, don't really like it | 01:57 |
| mustangg | mzz: been trying that but am having difficulty making things stick. Dunno if it's fakeraid related or not at this poiint but... | 01:57 |
| redvamp128 | AETE_KRAOUD: though 36 seconds to load my LXDE | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Tiny Core Linux Takes about 15 seconds to BOOT to X :) so phhht. :P | 01:57 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | redvamp128, : The nautilus sucks | 01:57 |
| timbojimbo | agreed | 01:57 |
| Droopsta915 | !.rar | 01:57 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 01:57 |
| georgy_28 | though 22 second to load E17 | 01:57 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: ok, so there's just a gap at the start of the extended partition. If you tell fdisk to create a new logical partition and use all available space for it you should end up with the same layout (just possibly with the numbers switched). You can print and compare before writing, so this is quite safe. | 01:57 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | redvamp128, : nautilus makes 1 minute to show me the folder in /usr/bin !!!!! what do you say abou that? | 01:57 |
| Mal3ko | guys..how do i check what are services running? | 01:57 |
| j03lar50n | how do i determine what to put in for my 'network' value when editing my /etc/network/interfaces file - trying to setup a static connection to a server | 01:57 |
| Mal3ko | cmd line | 01:57 |
| usser | pfft my gentoo takes 15 sec | 01:57 |
| atom^x | Crazytom, what step were you at? | 01:57 |
| timbojimbo | yo.. any one with amarok? | 01:58 |
| bernz | carpii, you should mount the second drive onto your main file system | 01:58 |
| mzz | mustangg: I did a hardy install into a pv I set aside from a different distro earlier iirc and that worked just fine. No raid involved though. | 01:58 |
| CNLiberal | if anyone is curious...i fixed my array issue... | 01:58 |
| usser | j03lar50n, netmask you mean? | 01:58 |
| CNLiberal | i've said it once, i've said it a 100 times... | 01:58 |
| redvamp128 | AETE_KRAOUD: though what beats that is Puppy Linux 23 seconds (PIII 933mhz with 256mb of memory and a Geforce4 MX4000) | 01:58 |
| CNLiberal | mdadm is the bee's knees | 01:58 |
| CNLiberal | that cat's meow | 01:58 |
| carpii | bernz, its difficult because i want the new drive to hold /var/log but also to hold /var/html/userimages | 01:58 |
| Dante123 | hi all, installed gnomeppp and what I thought was the latest Conexant driver (deb file) on friends Dell Inspiron 1501 for modem (version has same kernel number as the Ubuntu 8.10 he is running). However, there is no modem detected on the system. Is there some command I have to run or something to get the modem detected? Modprobe? or some config command? | 01:58 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz:ok nice but how i create a partition from scratch for example /dev/sda6 or sda7? | 01:58 |
| CNLiberal | the /dev/sde1 disk was removed from the array already | 01:58 |
| carpii | bernz, and I dont really want to mount the whole of /var | 01:58 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: I can walk you through fdisk if you're having trouble, but it's pretty straightforward if you're comfortable with commandline apps in general. | 01:58 |
| j03lar50n | no, usser in my .../interfaces file there's a network value that i need to fill | 01:59 |
| UncleGemc | ok i still dont know how to kill X though | 01:59 |
| CNLiberal | i just started the array in degraded mode | 01:59 |
| CNLiberal | ran jfs_fsck on it | 01:59 |
| CNLiberal | mounted it | 01:59 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: ok i just need an example so :-) | 01:59 |
| CNLiberal | and then readded the failed drive | 01:59 |
| CNLiberal | and it started an auto-repair | 01:59 |
| === Jguy| is now known as Jguy | ||

| _DEL | is there a way for me to set a remote login for this computer to do work from another location? its not a server edition | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | UncleGemc, stop the GDM or KDM service | 01:59 |
| pepperjack | UncleGemc: alt-crtl-f2 then login then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 01:59 |
| usser | j03lar50n, thats all you need for most setups http://pastebin.com/m14063e1c | 02:00 |

| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: anyway i will try it out Thanks again | 02:00 |
| UncleGemc | gdm stop didnt work :( | 02:00 |
| bernz | carpii, okay, in that case, it's a hybrid: mount the drive in a general way, then use symlinks to point to subdirs on the mounted volume | 02:00 |

| AETE_KRAOUD | wikkedfin, : it conncects depend on the card!!! | 02:01 |

| bernz | UncleGemc, try 'which gdm', and it'll tell you where the gdm program lives (or if it's missing!) | 02:01 |
| wikkedfin | well my card is B/G/N | 02:02 |
| UncleGemc | its in there | 02:02 |
| Imaginativeone | anyone familiar with the roku device? | 02:02 |
| bernz | UncleGemc, (it's not guaranteed to work, but it can help you see if it's easily reachable) | 02:02 |
| lacita | mzcarpiiz, redvamp128: that was an accident. I meant to paste one line. Sorry for the error. | 02:02 |

| wikkedfin | and all the AP's are B or G but they connect B | 02:02 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz :please watch out your partitions i just needed a trivial example | 02:02 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: sudo fdisk /dev/sd_your_drive, "n", "l", accept the defaults for first and last cylinder, "p", compare to your saved layout. The start and end offsets should match, although the order probably won't. | 02:02 |
| wikkedfin | I have an Ath9k | 02:02 |
| UncleGemc | but no X or login prompt | 02:02 |
| redvamp128 | lacita: I was just informing you of that service- instead of us getting like 5 lines of text all at once. | 02:02 |
| bernz | carpii, it's minimal... parsing through mount points is a pretty low-level thing and thus optimized as necessary (at least reasonably so) | 02:02 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: I just created a file full of zeroes and ran fdisk on that [had to tell it the numbers of cylinders for that "drive" but apart from that it accepted it :) ] | 02:02 |
| carpii | ok thanks bernz | 02:03 |
| lacita | mzz: I was hoping for something like "madwifi-ng" or "R8187", etc. | 02:03 |
| mzz | lacita: iwl3945 it is then | 02:03 |
| bernz | carpii, no worries, good luck | 02:03 |
| mzz | lacita: (can probably confirm that by running "lsmod" and checking if the module is used) | 02:03 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: hehe Nice :-) | 02:03 |
| UncleGemc | from tty2 I ran gdm stop and it apparently did something but I still have login at tty7 | 02:03 |

| lacita | redvamp128: I know about pastebin, I just dumped the wrong copy here | 02:03 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: so fdisc doesn't need me to provide any info except the numbers of cylinders ? | 02:04 |
| mzz | UncleGemc: log out there, you probably won't get the login screen back | 02:04 |
| redvamp128 | _DEL: any luck getting gnome back? | 02:04 |
| mustangg_ | mzz: I keep thinking that fakeraid left garbage on my drives because a fresh install finds the previous hostname; but- | 02:04 |
| UncleGemc | ok | 02:04 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: you can just accept the defaults (there should only be one "hole", it'll use all of it by default) | 02:04 |
| lacita | mzz: looks right: iwlwifi_mac80211 218980 1 iwl3945 | 02:05 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz :sounds pretty dtraight forwarding OK :-) | 02:05 |
| lacita | mzz: but I also see this: iwl3945 89844 0 | 02:05 |

| Crayboff | alright, question. what is the difference between the different kernels when starting up ubuntu? like "kernel 2.6.27-11-generic" and "kernel 2.6.27-9-generic"? | 02:06 |
| mzz | Crayboff: the lower ones are older | 02:06 |
| mzz | Crayboff: (for some reason old kernels don't seem to be uninstalled by default when you get upgrades) | 02:07 |
| * mzz isn't sure what the best way to do some spring cleaning in that area is | 02:07 | |
| UncleGemc | mzz: ill figure it out. | 02:07 |
| usser | Crayboff, the one with higher minor version is more recent, has security updates, patches etc | 02:07 |
| kindofabuzz | I installed python 3 from source, but i've decided to start with 2.5. Now when I start idle it loads using 3 instead of 2.5, how can i fix that? yes i know there is an idle 2.5 in the repos but i want the regular idle to point to 2.5 | 02:07 |
| usser | Crayboff, sorry | 02:07 |
| pluma | GParted is set to round to cylinders by default. Is this really necessary for Vista + Ubuntu 8.10? The manual only says this is necessary for "old OSes" | 02:07 |
| Royall | My built-in microphone's volume control (in Volume Control, HDA Intel Also mixer) always changed whenever I close the window. How can I stop it from automatically changing? | 02:07 |
| usser | mzz, the one with higher minor version is more recent, has security updates, patches etc | 02:07 |
| bullgard4 | What is an 'Internet file' as used in 'man lsof'? | 02:07 |
| mzz | kindofabuzz: I'd expect idle to be a symlink to the actual idle you want to use | 02:07 |
| Royall | er, Alsa mixer* | 02:07 |
| usser | mzz, old kernels are not uninstalled because users might want to revert back if the updates dont work | 02:08 |
| kindofabuzz | mzz, yeah that's what i'm thinking to. any clues? | 02:08 |
| rapidsecretions | My cd drive is no longer recognized at all and my block device scd0 is gone...How do I get it back? | 02:08 |
| mzz | usser: that's a good point, but a way to keep only the most recent 3 or so kernels might be nice | 02:08 |
| skyde | hello i need help installing ubuntu on a server wich dont have any cd-rom drive | 02:08 |
| Royall | rapidsecretions: look in the BIOS and see if the module bay is disabled, that's what happened to me | 02:08 |
| mzz | usser: (I know you can just uninstall the old ones manually, but if you don't do that you end up with dozens of kernels eventually, which is a bit inconvenient if /boot/ is on a separate partition) | 02:08 |
| pepperjack | skyde: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for options | 02:08 |
| usser | mzz, yes i agree, i think newer versions of ubuntu will do just that, keeping the last recent working kernel when you upgrade | 02:08 |

| Crayboff | alright well the -11-generic is the default. whenever I turn on the computer, it says that there is a softreset failure and something about not being able to "enumerate" the USB or something like that. also when I turn off the computer, it says things like "HALT NOW" or something like that | 02:09 |
| bullgard4 | rapidsecretions: 'is gone' is no exact description. | 02:09 |
| mzz | usser: relevant to me because my root partition is on lvm and /boot/ is a bit small in hindsight | 02:09 |
| Crayboff | why is that and how do i fix it? | 02:09 |
| alchemist1 | I just installed Globalmenu and when I try to put it on the panel it tells me to enable the plugin in properties under the right click menu. The panel properties are no help and the globalmenu properties is just a blank window. This makes no sense to me. | 02:09 |
| mzz | Crayboff: so it does still boot? If yes can you pastebin the output of the command "dmesg"? | 02:10 |
| Royall | Crayboff: heyyyy | 02:10 |
| Crayboff | mzz, it does and I will in a sec | 02:10 |

| ubottu | Droopsta915, please see my private message | 02:12 |
| muzikjock58_ | thank you . i'll check it out. | 02:12 |
| kindofabuzz | mzz, figured it out, just edit /usr/local/bin/idle to point to /usr/bin/python2.5 | 02:12 |
| muzikjock58_ | im having problems with seamonkey | 02:12 |
| mzz | Crayboff: "dmesg > ~/dmesg" and find the file in your homedir, or "dmesg|pastebinit" (you will probably have to install pastebinit) | 02:12 |
| lacita | mzz: could I replace my wireless driver with madwifi? | 02:13 |
| mzz | kindofabuzz: or toast that symlink (you probably have a second one in /usr/bin) | 02:13 |

| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: ok i typed n to the interactive fdisc | 02:13 |
| muzikjock58_ | it crashes flash content in the browser. but works when i run from command line in root. when i ran seamonkey as sudo seamonkey, it said that it was probably better to run "sudo -H seamonkey" . i didnt know what the did. | 02:13 |
| underworld | hellooooo | 02:14 |
| underworld | I'mnew in this | 02:14 |
| mzz | muzikjock58_: running seamonkey as root is not sane. Stop doing it :P | 02:14 |
| lacita | underworld: ask a question | 02:14 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: i chosed the inbetween values of cylindres (guided) | 02:14 |
| mzz | muzikjock58_: try running it as yourself but using a fresh profile ("seamonkey -P -no-remote" should give you the profile manager)? | 02:14 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz :shall i type w to write the partition ? | 02:14 |
| redvamp128 | muzikjock58_: which version of sea monkey and what version of Flash? (I think if it works like mozilla -- about:(no space)plugins | 02:14 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: not yet. Hit "p" and confirm the numbers match what you have logged. | 02:15 |
| bullgard4 | muzikjock58_: 'man sudo' tells me that the switch -H sets the environment variable to the homedir of the target user. | 02:15 |

| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: ok | 02:15 |

| Crayboff | mzz: http://pastebin.com/f1f49bcb6 | 02:15 |
| mzz | muzikjock58_: likely cause is something specific to your profile, like an extension, being involved | 02:15 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | mzz: they match :-) | 02:16 |
| redvamp128 | muzikjock58_: though you could try the normal run of the program from command line with the -profilemanger | 02:16 |
| mzz | AETE_KRAOUD: then you can probably write. I'd e2fsck the new partition to confirm things are sane though. | 02:16 |

| linxuz3r | hi | 02:17 |
| redvamp128 | _DEL: you could try typing gnome-session and it should take you there | 02:17 |
| linxuz3r | hi | 02:17 |
| soreau | mzz: lol, what's the problem? | 02:17 |
| linxuz3r | how do i keep kde from not messing up my gnome settings ? | 02:17 |
| JesperHansen | mzz: whats the fuss about? | 02:17 |
| mzz | soreau: nautilus sometimes decides not to draw desktop icons (or the desktop context menu). It usually works fine when I'm in the vicinity, making this a bit hard to debug. | 02:18 |
| soreau | mzz: Intermittent and you don't know the specifics? | 02:18 |
| ashlessburn | mzz update the apt first make sure u are running the most recent version | 02:18 |
| Crayboff | mzz: pastebin of dmesg - http://pastebin.com/f1f49bcb6 | 02:19 |
| soreau | mzz: Do you know if she's messing with gconf or if nautilus might be crashing? | 02:19 |
| soreau | mzz: (I suspect she is a humble user) | 02:19 |
| JesperHansen | mzz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=653305 is this you? | 02:19 |
| mzz | soreau: I know nautilus is running just fine (I can open normal folder windows just fine), there's nothing alarming in ~/.xsession-errors, and toggling the pref for nautilus drawing the background off and back on fixed it once. | 02:19 |
| _DEL | redvamp128, im waiting for virtual XP to finish updating then i am going to | 02:19 |

| mzz | (the "she is a humble user" guess is correct) | 02:20 |
| wolter | i need to be able to suspend my computer and wake it up!! | 02:20 |
| wolter | why is this not fixed yet?? | 02:20 |
| JesperHansen | mzz: question to that: Is right click possible on the desktop? | 02:20 |
| mzz | soreau: she wouldn't touch gconf directly. I didn't see anything obviously fatal in ~/.xsession-errors. I have that file stored somewhere, lemme pastebin it | 02:20 |
| mzz | JesperHansen: nope, that context menu is gone too | 02:20 |
| mzz | JesperHansen: (at least it was the one time this happened while I was around...) | 02:20 |

| soreau | mzz: You'd probably have to spend some quality time with it yourself to debug it..

| mzz | JesperHansen: that "unable to add monitor" thing is suspicious, but that was also added after I restarted nautilus (and it was drawing icons by then) | 02:31 |
| carpii | wolter, yes, but i made sure i didnt nuke the dell partition | 02:31 |
| diginux | _DEL: its for windows and linux | 02:31 |
| wolter | carpii, hm... | 02:31 |
| soreau | josh1: Like a dock? | 02:31 |
| wolter | i did nuked it haha | 02:31 |
| diginux | _DEL: google setting up nxserver in ubuntu | 02:31 |
| josh1 | yes | 02:31 |
| wolter | but that shouldn't affect ubuntu at all. | 02:31 |
| josh1 | i like the mac look and feel | 02:31 |
| arghh2d2 | soreau: he says he wants ubuntu to look like osx | 02:31 |
| soreau | josh1: Install AWN | 02:31 |
| carpii | wolter, you have to be careful, because trying to use the media buttons when youve nuked the partition can render the machine unbootable :/ | 02:32 |
| aLeahhaLeY | hi everyone I have a question...I recently uninstalled ubuntu off my computer but everytime I try to restart it and use Windows I get Error 22 how do I make my computer recognize my windows partition again? | 02:32 |
| carpii | at least thats what ive read in ubuntu forums. it happened lots | 02:32 |
| soreau | !awn | 02:32 |
| ubottu | Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy | 02:32 |
| josh1 | ah, lol i have trouble doing that lol | 02:32 |
| Crayboff | mzz: umm i didn't anticipate that turning off the effects would get rid of my compiz settings. no the thing doesn't flash when my affects are off, but i like my effects too much to disable them | 02:32 |
| mzz | aLeahhaLeY: install a windows mbr. I don't know a convenient way to do that offhand. | 02:32 |
| dhruvasagar | aLeahhaLeY: you will need to restore your MBR | 02:32 |
| wolter | carpii, well, i can always turn off by pressing the power-off button for some seconds.. | 02:32 |
| aLeahhaLeY | how do I do that? | 02:32 |
| josh1 | i have installed it, but when i try to run it from applications a grey screen comes up then goes a way leaving me with nothing | 02:32 |
| shadowwulf | ashlessburn: thanks for it | 02:32 |
| dhruvasagar | aLeahhaLeY: you can do that by booting from the Windows CD and going for Repair | 02:33 |
| zcat[1] | problem; I installed splashy.. caused me to have no spalsh at all and I can't figure out how to use it so uninstalled it again and reinstalled usplash. Now I get no splash screen. How do I fix up usplash to I can have a splash screen again? | 02:33 |
| zcat[1] | . | 02:33 |
| mzz | Crayboff: likely cause is games using opengl not running properly while compiz is running. Getting this fixed properly may take a while depending on the driver you're using. | 02:33 |
| soreau | aLeahhaLeY: Either reinstall grub or use the window cd (there's plenty of howto's on the net|ask in #windows) | 02:33 |
| ashlessburn | np mang | 02:33 |
| dhruvasagar | aLeahhaLeY: After you go for the repair option, you will get a command prompt, there you will find certain commands for restoring the MBR | 02:33 |
| Crayboff | mzz: did you get a chance to look at the pastebin? | 02:33 |
| dhruvasagar | aLeahhaLeY: just type help there and you will find the commands | 02:34 |
| Safe | I'm having some trouble. i can't boot into my ubuntu but i can access my usb stick. | 02:34 |
| wolter | anybody else with an xps m1530? | 02:34 |
| Safe | can i log into it somehow from the livecd? | 02:34 |
| mzz | Crayboff: missed it, reading now. | 02:34 |
| aLeahhaLeY | ok...so a windows cd is required to do this then right? | 02:34 |
| Crayboff | ah alright | 02:34 |
| CNLiberal | I'm back...i thought this was mdadm problem was fixed, but i think something is hosed | 02:34 |
| soreau | aLeahhaLeY: Not if you reinstall grub | 02:34 |
| mzz | aLeahhaLeY: iirc that is one possibility, but at least the sysresccd.org cd can also do this | 02:34 |
| CNLiberal | i added the disk back into the array and it started to rebuild | 02:34 |
| dhruvasagar | aLeahhaLeY: yes, unless you backed up your MBR somewhere | 02:34 |
| Titan8990 | carpii, I have only seen drives drop off of fdisk on a machine I had a pci raid controller in | 02:34 |
| CNLiberal | the disks were active | 02:35 |
| bullgard4 | What is an 'Internet file' as used in 'man lsof'? | 02:35 |
| Titan8990 | carpii, reboot usually temporarly fixed it, have you tried a reboot? | 02:35 |
| carpii | hmm, theres no raid controller afaik. or if there is its definitely not raided | 02:35 |
| aLeahhaLeY | so if reinstall grub...and I guess ubuntu again...it will set up 2 paritions one for ubuntu and the other for windows? | 02:35 |
| carpii | Titan, not yet. Im trying to avoid it because website is quite busy atm | 02:35 |
| asc | I just performed a fresh install of 8.04. I installed the ion3 window manager and tried to log into it in GDM but it crashed instantly. Does anybody know why? | 02:35 |
| CNLiberal | then they stopped being active and cat /proc/mdstat kept increasing the amount of time it would take to rebuild | 02:35 |
| alan | having trouble with compiz, can anyone help me completely uninstall and reinstall latest stable version | 02:35 |
| carpii | Titan, ill try that tonight though, thanks | 02:35 |
| dhruvasagar | Guys I have a weird problem! | 02:35 |
| CNLiberal | until finally, it stopped rebuilding all together | 02:35 |
| mzz | Crayboff: is any particular usb device not working? | 02:35 |
| dhruvasagar | I am here on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit version | 02:36 |
| ashlessburn | aleah tryrunning the ubuntu live cd gparted if u want to create part | 02:36 |
| soreau | aLeahhaLeY: if that's what you tell it to do, yes. Otherwise you will need a windows cd to reinstall it's mbr | 02:36 |
| Titan8990 | carpii, yeah, my machine is question was production server too..... | 02:36 |
| carpii | Titan, does the "1 3" in fstab look ok? I thought it was odd that the 1 is same for hda too | 02:36 |
| CNLiberal | if anyone here is an MDADM guru, i'd really appreciate it | 02:36 |
| aLeahhaLeY | ok thanks a lot everyone I'll give those ideas a shot. | 02:36 |
| Crayboff | mzz: i have not tried using a usb device in a while | 02:36 |
| JesperHansen | mzz: This seems like a better guess at what is wrong: ** ERROR:(nautilus-desktop-directory.c:162):directory_ready_callback: assertion failed: (g_list_find (merged_callback->non_ready_directories, directory) != NULL) | 02:36 |
| CNLiberal | is there any way I can test each drive for issues? | 02:36 |
| dhruvasagar | if Ubuntu goes to sleep, it doesn't wake up properly I get errors while waking up and it doesnt start | 02:36 |
| ashlessburn | titan u have a laptop? | 02:37 |
| soreau | dhruvasagar: Probably a video driver issue. Which one do you use? | 02:37 |
| wolter | dhruvasagar, yeah.. same here | 02:37 |
| mzz | Crayboff: at least one is attached, and it's complaining about that device | 02:37 |
| Titan8990 | carpii, actually, the fstab man page only says to use 0 1 or 2 for the 2nd field | 02:37 |
| Titan8990 | ashlessburn, im on a laptop now | 02:37 |
| carpii | hrm | 02:37 |
| mzz | JesperHansen: hmm, must've missed the -desktop-directory part of that message | 02:37 |
| Crayboff | mzz: are you saying that there is something in my USB port? | 02:37 |
| * Kryzler <3 man | 02:37 | |
| Crayboff | mzz: cause there isn't | 02:37 |
| merther | Hi, my cpu is hyperthreading capable but 8.04 doesn't seem to have hyperthreading enabled. | 02:37 |
| mzz | Crayboff: unless I'm reading the wrong dmesg, yes. | 02:38 |
| geekybroad | hi folks... i installed recent version of kubuntu with a cdrom drive, installed the ubuntu desktop (and am now using that). and the switched out the cdrom drive for a dvd-rw. Menu: Places -> computer only gives filesystem (my hard drive) and LaCie (USB hard drive.) /mnt is empty. I can press the button on the drive, and it opens and blinks... I can insert a disc. Just can't access it anywhere. Dvd is only device connected w | 02:38 |
| * mzz doublechecks | 02:38 | |
| merther | anyone know how to get that working? | 02:38 |
| diginux | merther: you have to do something special to enable it.. | 02:38 |
| ashlessburn | titan8990, bar? | 02:38 |
| Crayboff | mzz: well umm I'm using a laptop and I don't see anything poking out of the sides | 02:38 |
| diginux | merther: if you google it, youll probably find it, i forget how to do it | 02:38 |
| zcat[1] | OK, looks like the only way to get my splash screen back is to reinstall the whole damn OS. Yay. that sucks. | 02:38 |
| cfedde | merther: usualy a bios thing iirc | 02:38 |
| MuffloN^ | Q: I have a Creative USB Headset, how do I get it working? (Fatality HS-1000) | 02:38 |
| carpii | Titan, what are those fields called? Im looking at http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount but its really hard to see where theyre documented | 02:38 |
| merther | there's no setting in the bios that I could find. | 02:38 |
| dhruvasagar | soreau: wolter not sure...NVIDIA is my graphics driver...is it the same as Video driver? | 02:38 |
| soreau | Yes | 02:39 |
| Safe | why do i get "error loading system" when starting the computer? grub seems legit, havent changed a thing | 02:39 |
| Titan8990 | carpii, i was looking at: man fstab | 02:39 |
| cfedde | merther: run top. hit '1' does it list more cpu? | 02:39 |
| carpii | titan, ahh that looks better. thanks | 02:39 |
| mzz | Crayboff: nvm, it's probably just a hub | 02:39 |
| CNLiberal | is there a way i can test each hard drive without over writing anything on that drive? | 02:39 |
| durt | bullgard4: it's not Internet file, it's network file, google the three examples given and you'll see what they are | 02:39 |
| merther | no | 02:39 |
| wolter | dhruvasagar, yeah. do you use nvidia-glx-180 / | 02:39 |
| wolter | ? | 02:39 |
| dhruvasagar | soreau: so what can I do? | 02:39 |
| CNLiberal | i wanna make suer they aren't dropping off the system | 02:39 |
| soreau | dhruvasagar: Either don't let the thing go to sleep or turn off visual effects. I found that screensavers make my nvidia machine crash | 02:39 |
| cfedde | n | 02:39 |
| Crayboff | mzz: which means? | 02:39 |
| mzz | Crayboff: also a keyboard and mouse though. | 02:39 |
| dhruvasagar | wolter: I use 177.82 | 02:40 |
| wolter | hm | 02:40 |
| dhruvasagar | soreau: hmm | 02:40 |
| wolter | but yeah | 02:40 |
| Safe | do anyone know how to log into an existing ubuntu from the livecd? | 02:40 |
| mzz | Crayboff: and an integrated webcam, if I read this right | 02:40 |
| wolter | it seems like its a gfx driver problem | 02:40 |
| wolter | Safe, you can't login | 02:40 |
| soreau | dhruvasagar: You can upgrade to 180 if it's an option in Sys>Admin>HW Drivers | 02:40 |
| === Kryzler is now known as |Kryzler| | ||
| wolter | Safe, you can browse files, but not login | 02:40 |
| Safe | stupid grub messing up for no reason | 02:41 |
| mzz | Crayboff: there's a "softreset failed" for your primary hd, but that's *probably* not a serious problem | 02:41 |
| soreau | Safe: You can fix grub from the live cd | 02:41 |
| zcat[1] | I really don't want to reinstall because I've done a whole heap of updates and adding packages, surely there's a less drastic way to get the freaking splash screen back a\gain. anyone? | 02:41 |
| Safe | yeah i know, i see nothing wrong with it though | 02:41 |
| Crayboff | mzz: well it has the normal keyboard attached to it and the touchpad for a mouse. it does have an integrated webcam and a microphone which I can't get to work | 02:41 |
| dhruvasagar | soreau: 177 is the highest version I see there... | 02:41 |
| CNLiberal | anything? | 02:41 |
| mzz | Safe: you can chroot though | 02:41 |
| sagredo | after updating to 8.10 expose crashes compiz-fusion, any ideas? | 02:41 |
| soreau | Safe: I thought you said it was messing up? | 02:41 |

| dhruvasagar | Guys I have another problem, there is nothing in my Add/Remove applications menu...senaptic is fine, but nothing in Add/Remove | 02:42 |

| asc | I just performed a fresh install of 8.04. I installed the ion3 window manager and tried to log into it in GDM but it crashed instantly. It does work under gdmflexiserver --xnest, however. Can anybody help me? | 02:42 |
| merther | also cat /proc/cpuinfo only lists one cpu. Is flagged that it can do hyperthreading though. | 02:42 |
| soreau | Safe: After the grub splash screen loads and you select ubuntu? | 02:42 |
| mzz | Tlchack5: easiest way may be wubi | 02:42 |
| Safe | i did uninstall xp but doesnt grub load from the hdd and not mbr? | 02:42 |
| zqj | hello | 02:42 |
| mzz | !wuby | mzz | 02:42 |

| mzz | !wubi | mzz | 02:42 |
| ubottu | mzz, please see my private message | 02:42 |
| pepperjack | Tlchack5: by default ubuntu allows you to retain windows and just dual boot. so you have a menu at boot that chooses ubuntu or windows | 02:42 |
| wolter | asc, did you try rebooting again? | 02:43 |
| pepperjack | Tlchack5: just follow the installer prompts | 02:43 |
| soreau | Safe: Then install grub from the live cd | 02:43 |
| mzz | !wubi | Tlchack5 | 02:43 |
| ubottu | Tlchack5: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 02:43 |

| Tlchack5 | pepperjack: thank you kind sir | 02:43 |
| Safe | but when i changed the boot order of the hdds in bios it mattered | 02:43 |
| mzz | JesperHansen: I can't check currently, I'm not at the affected system. Should be latest in hardy though, so that's, um | 02:43 |
| asc | wolter: Not since installing ion, but it didn't help last time I tried (yesterday). | 02:43 |
| Safe | i mean, if i had one it loaded xp, if the other, grub | 02:43 |
| soreau | JesperHansen: It would be 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu4 for Hardy | 02:44 |
| asc | *last time I tried to do a fresh install and get ion working | 02:44 |
| Burnt | Hey everyone. I DLed and ran the Ubuntu Desktop through the CD I copied it on. I have a built in webcam with my computer. Is there a way to turn it on through the new OS? | 02:44 |
| wolter | asc, whats ion? | 02:44 |
| mzz | JesperHansen: 1:2.22.5.1-0ubuntu1 but I'll check if that's what she actually has later | 02:44 |
| asc | wolter: A window manager | 02:44 |
| zcat[1] | think i found it.. usplash-theme-ubuntu wasn't installed.. rebooting now to see if that works | 02:44 |
| wolter | asc, hm.. well, i can't help you no further | 02:44 |
| wolter | can* | 02:44 |

| soreau | zcat[1]: Why did you mess with it? | 02:49 |
| kitche | Crayboff: maybe because your ISP is in kansas for the main hub not really a question for this channel really | 02:49 |
| kitche | Crayboff: also IP addresses refresh if you do not have a static IP | 02:49 |
| Jaan|Perfect | wolter, i have installed 8.1 invmware, is there anyway to know about installed hardware and its drivers | 02:49 |

| mzz | Crayboff: the address mentioned as default gateway in the output from "route" tends to work, afaik | 02:56 |

| Crayboff | ya, kindofabuzz, it works | 02:58 |
| prince_jammys | josh1: there's a kde one called kooldock | 02:59 |
| mzz | MuffloN^: sorry, no idea | 02:59 |
| carpii | MasterShrek, try azureus. You acn run it from cmdline and admin it via http | 02:59 |

| josh1 | where would i find this how do it get it? | 02:59 |
| kindofabuzz | for default router ips: http://www.answersthatwork.com/Download_Area/ATW_Library/Networking/Network__4-List_of_default_Router_Admin_Passwords_and_IP_addresses.pdf | 02:59 |
| prince_jammys | josh1: you can install it with apt/synaptic | 02:59 |
| usser | josh1, try wbar its very lightweight, fast and somewhat feature-limited, but fast | 02:59 |
| usser | josh1, oh did i mention it was very fast | 02:59 |
| Scunizi | josh1: awn should work if your video drivers are providing glx.. do you have an nvidia card? did you install the restricted driver from system>admin>hardware drivers | 03:00 |
| soreau | josh1: AWN requires a compositing window manager like compiz. which graphics hardware / drivers do you use? | 03:00 |
| josh1 | my computer is about 5 years old and im using a built in video card otyher than that im not sure on graphics | 03:00 |
| josh1 | usser where do i, how do i get that prgram | 03:01 |
| usser | josh1, http://code.google.com/p/wbar/downloads/list | 03:01 |
| Scunizi | josh1: do a lspci | less to look at the list of hardware on the pci buss.. it should identify the card | 03:01 |

| Owner | there is no hint at to what it could be | 03:02 |

| syockit | Owner: probably 'root' | 03:02 |
| Scunizi | Owner if it didn't ask to set a password on install then you have to set it. google. | 03:02 |
| usser | josh1, get the deb file for etch, it should work just fine in ubuntu, also get wbarconf it simplifies configuration alot http://www.gtkfiles.org/app.php/wbarconf | 03:02 |
| bullgard4 | What is an 'Internet file' as used in 'man lsof'? | 03:03 |
| Titan8990 | Owner, yes, there is a command to set roots pw | 03:03 |
| arief | does anyone know what is the command to connect in to wireless in kosole terminal??? | 03:03 |
| Owner | Titan8990, what is it!? | 03:03 |
| kindofabuzz | Owner, when you installed mysql it should've asked you then to set a password when installing | 03:03 |
| Titan8990 | Owner, is the password null or you don't know the password? | 03:04 |
| syockit | kindofabuzz: it didn't when I did tasksel lamp-server | 03:04 |
| Owner | hmmm | 03:04 |
| Owner | I guess it prompted her for one but she mistyped it | 03:04 |
| kindofabuzz | it did prompt you, that's part of the install, it won't install until you set a pasword | 03:04 |
| Owner | tried to purge mysql-server and reinstall it | 03:04 |
| Owner | didnt prompt that time | 03:04 |
| kindofabuzz | it even asks you twice | 03:04 |
| Titan8990 | Owner: that makes things more difficult... try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql | 03:05 |
| kindofabuzz | well you'll probably have to reinstall it, you can'tset a new pass unless you know the pass | 03:05 |

Is there a way to get more relevant updates? | 03:16 |
| mzz | LogicFan: I'd try to uninstall the drivers you don't use | 03:17 |
| mzz | LogicFan: not sure how easy that is for these drivers | 03:17 |
| Logikos | mzz: ... but how would it have goten there and how do i fix it... i'm prity new to linux | 03:17 |
| shakir | nickrud i put the error | 03:17 |

| nickrud | shakir, give me the link, please | 03:17 |
| shakir | http://paste.ubuntu.com/117109/ | 03:18 |
| mzz | Logikos: no idea how that would've happened. I'd use a linux livecd or the grub menu to check what's in grub.conf makes any sense, and also check if anything interesting is logged before it drops you to a shell. | 03:18 |
| LogicFan | mzz, i'm curious why its offering them in the first place? do i have some default installed package(s) that its looking at to determine what to recommend? | 03:18 |

| ammagendut | Type '--2009-02-12' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mmu.list | 03:18 |
| mzz | LogicFan: not familiar enough with ubuntu to know if this is accurate, but I'm pretty sure the installer doesn't do (much) hardware detection. It just installs most interesting drivers and auto-detects at boot. | 03:19 |
| Titan8990 | vigneswwaaa, yes | 03:19 |
| nickrud | shakir, gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/nagios3-common.postinst , put the contents on the pastebin please | 03:19 |
| bullgard4 | What is an 'Internet file' as used in 'man lsof'? | 03:19 |
| Logikos | mzz: if you are refering to the menu where it says press escape and gives you like 3 seconds ... that has like 7 things in it ... its ubuntu, ubuntu recovery ... and then it repeats ... ubuntu ubuntu recovery or something ... | 03:19 |
| LogicFan | mzz, appreciate the response, thanks | 03:19 |
| vigneswwaaa | i copy and paste that and it says command not m=found | 03:20 |
| mzz | LogicFan: advantage is you can safely swap hardware without having to install drivers before you do so | 03:20 |
| soreau | ammagendut: I think /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ should be empty.. backup the mmu.list there then delete it and try again | 03:20 |
| vigneswwaaa | command not found | 03:20 |
| bernz | vigneswwaaa, careful, it appears you have a typo there maybe .... 'lspci', not 'lscpi' (though i could be wrong) | 03:20 |
| mzz | LogicFan: disadvantage is you have a ridiculous amount of drivers installed (and updated) | 03:20 |
| nickrud | mzz, that's pretty much correct, about drivers. | 03:20 |
| soreau | vigneswwaaa: lspci not lscpi | 03:20 |
| mzz | Logikos: yes, that menu. Using a livecd may be easier if you're new to things though. | 03:20 |

| vigneswwaaa | well this time when i type it it does nothing | 03:21 |
| pepperjack | vigneswwaaa: always a good sign | 03:22 |
| vigneswwaaa | i got it | 03:22 |
| MarkJones | Can any of you say what the general rule of thumb is for when/if to install a new release of ubuntu? Do most people wait a while after most releases till theres a bunch of updates available so they dont run into major issues? Or is it just a jump in and start breaking stuff kinda thing and dont wait for anything? | 03:22 |
| Logikos | mzz: ok, but things may be more complex, windows xp was on this computer first, and i installed ubuntu from within windows, so ubuntu was made the 2nd operating system, windows xp offers the first boot menu, which i reversed and changed so ubuntu boots first ... as a result this drive is an NTFS partition and the ubuntu disk is really just a file on this drive i think?? will the live cd see that and i'll be able to mess with it or | 03:22 |
| Titan8990 | vigneswwaaa, alright, do: lspci | 03:22 |
| Logikos | mzz: also, if i reboot to a live cd, i wont be able to be in here asking questions ... so i need to figure out everything i need to do, before i try it | 03:22 |
| keevie | sorry, broken link https://keevie.privatepaste.com/3djs1WqBux | 03:22 |
| Titan8990 | vigneswwaaa, pastebin the results | 03:22 |
| pepperjack | MarkJones: depends on the machine. many people jump from one update to the next. as long as you are able to put up with downtime that should be fine | 03:23 |
| mzz | Logikos: why not? You should be able to get at the net from the livecd just fine. Doesn't it have an irc client? | 03:23 |
| MarkJones | Im just wondering cause 8.04.2 seems realy reliable now to me and 8.10 still has reliability issues for me. | 03:23 |
| ashlessburn | mark what bit are u running' | 03:23 |
| mzz | Logikos: how did you do the "reversed" bit? | 03:23 |
| MarkJones | I see. | 03:23 |
| soreau | MarkJones: Then keep using 8.04 since it's LTS | 03:23 |
| mzz | Logikos: I'm not really familiar with wubi, if that's what you used... | 03:23 |
| vigneswwaaa | is it the netowrk controller | 03:23 |
| soreau | !lts | 03:23 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 03:23 |
| MarkJones | Right thats what im on right now. | 03:23 |
| marca311 | Hi there! which do you think is better? 8.04 or 8.10 | 03:24 |
| vigneswwaaa | cuz if it is then its | 03:24 |
| nickrud | shakir, ok, what we're gonna do is set up this package to just get it installed, then remove it immediately. Not sure why the file/dir wasn't created in /var/run | 03:24 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 03:24 |
| jaxx2kde | hey i had a quick question.. suppose i have a tarball lying on my desktop.. and i go and install the drivers after extracting it and all.. can i delete the folder? | 03:24 |

| keevie | jaxx2kde, yes | 03:24 |
| soreau | marca311: It depends on the machine you're using and ultimately your opinion. The other big factor is what you use it for | 03:24 |
| mzz | jaxx2kde: probably, but don't install stuff by hand, use proper packages | 03:24 |
| vigneswwaaa | what does that mean | 03:24 |
| Aleahhaley | I got a windows cd though and went into the Repair section...but what do I do from there? | 03:24 |
| Titan8990 | vigneswwaaa, which version of ubuntu are you using? | 03:25 |
| Logikos | mzz: i didnt use wubi ... no clue what it is, i burned the normal ubuntu cd, and put it in while i was in windows and to my surpize it had an instal option ... as for reversing i just ment in teh windows boot menu i reversed the order so that the default would be ubuntu rather than windows | 03:25 |
| marca311 | thank you | 03:25 |
| jaxx2kde | keevie, mzz thanks | 03:25 |
| keevie | mzz, ....what if you need newer versions, there is nothing wrong with building things from source | 03:25 |
| mzz | Logikos: I think that was wubi, but someone would have to confirm | 03:25 |
| Logikos | mzz: as for the live cd having an irc client ... i have no idea? | 03:25 |

| MarkJones | As far as sticking with LTS releases goes, for the people who want reliable systems, do most wait for the first point release or not? Cause I remeber when I first tried 8.04 and it was ok, and now I came back and tried 8.04.2 and thats what I am on now and all seems great. | 03:25 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | mzz: Any specifics? I am a little fimilar with wubi | 03:25 |
| mzz | keevie: as long as you don't run "make install" or the equivalent as root, sure (use checkinstall or an equivalent) | 03:25 |
| shakir | nickrud : http://paste.ubuntu.com/117112/ | 03:25 |
| Aleahhaley | ok thanks. | 03:25 |
| pepperjack | ubuntu_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop just restart instead of stop to restart | 03:26 |
| nickrud | MarkJones, for people that rely on their servers it's pretty common | 03:26 |
| Logikos | mzz: well i downloaded the normal live cd when i did it, if becuase i loaded it in windows it used 'wubi' i have no idea ... but ubuntu is not running inside windows when i boot to it ... that is, windows doesnt run when i boot to ubuntu | 03:26 |
| keevie | when upgrading to intrepid from hardy, something went very wrong. . .https://keevie.privatepaste.com/3djs1WqBux it looks like this is a known bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/ca-certificates-java/+bug/289091 how do i fix this? | 03:26 |
| soreau | ubuntu_: Ctrl+Alt+F1 then login and run 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' | 03:26 |
| mzz | mib_lkgyn7: Logikos here had it booting windows bootmanager thingy -> grub -> ubuntu, now it boots grub -> initramfs rescue shell. | 03:26 |
| nickrud | shakir, ok, on line 4 type exit 0 , then save and close the file | 03:26 |
| mepholic | u | 03:26 |
| MarkJones | Ok cool.So what is the next expected LTS release anyways? 9.10? | 03:26 |
| mzz | mib_lkgyn7: that's about all the info I have so far | 03:26 |
| Titan8990 | vigneswwaaa, you should check out this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide | 03:27 |
| nickrud | !releases | MarkJones | 03:27 |
| ubottu | MarkJones: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 03:27 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | mzz: The first setup is definitely wubi's way of doing things. But it can also be done by hand if required to do so | 03:27 |
| uzair | hi all, i was looking for some help regarding open vpn (vpn connections in general actually) | 03:27 |
| vigneswwaaa | ok will do | 03:27 |
| vigneswwaaa | thanks | 03:27 |
| mzz | mib_lkgyn7: this sounds like what the initramfs would do for a nonsensical root=, but I don't know what a sensible root= is for a wubi install | 03:27 |
| shakir | nickrud : line 4 that si after set -e ? | 03:28 |
| Logikos | mzz mib_lkgyn7: it is still loading windows boot menu first, that is all the same, windows boot menu, ubuntu's menu option (if i hit escape) ... and then when it would normaly load ubuntu, it loads initramfs | 03:28 |
| nickrud | !wubi | mib_lkgyn7 (more likely to get reliable support on their forum. Most of the people on irc don't use wubi :) | 03:28 |
| ubottu | mib_lkgyn7 (more likely to get reliable support on their forum. Most of the people on irc don't use wubi :): Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 03:28 |

| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 03:29 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | Logikos: And you haven't made any drastic changes after the install? Meaning, the wubi install is still intact? | 03:29 |
| shakir | nickrud: i saved now? | 03:29 |
| nickrud | mib_lkgyn7, ah, sorry, misread/typed | 03:29 |
| MarkJones | Ok cool.Looks like Ill be sticking with LTS releases only, and always waiting for the first point release so I have a reliable system.Thank you guys! | 03:29 |
| Logikos | mzz, mib_lkgyn7: also when i loaded windows it said it recovered from severe error ... my gf had loaded windows, and when i came back windows aparently crashed (not sure why, she wont tell) and ubuntu (being the default in windows boot menu) tryed to load but went to initramfs instead | 03:29 |
| nickrud | shakir, yes. after you save, run sudo apt-get -f install | 03:29 |
| gamma | Hi, i got my GDM to start manual, and can't remember how to fix it back!! | 03:30 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | nickrud: Doesn't matter. Mibbit doesn't even highlight messages with my nick :P | 03:30 |
| Owner | .j #flexd | 03:30 |
| shakir | nickrud : http://paste.ubuntu.com/117115/ | 03:30 |
| Titan8990 | gamma, sudo update-rc.d gdm | 03:30 |
| gamma | thanks | 03:30 |
| Logikos | mib_lkgyn7: no changes, it worked perfectly before i left for my trip, today my gf was trying to print something and i walked her though some things, had her boot to windows to print .. she left it in windows, says nothing strange happened, i come home and its in initramfs ...i reboot same thing, i go to windows and it says it recovered from a severe error | 03:31 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | Logikos: Does it always say recovered from a serious error? Did you try doing a diskcheck? | 03:31 |
| nickrud | shakir, ok, so far so good. now, sudo apt-get purge nagios3-common nagios3 to remove it | 03:31 |
| Titan8990 | gamma, or it might be: sudo update-rc.d add gdm | 03:31 |
| mzz | Logikos: I'm not sure what happened, but if this is wubi (which I think it is) I have pretty much no idea what the normal state of things is, so I can't really tell what changed from that state either | 03:31 |
| Logikos | mib_lkgyn7: since i got back, i've only booted into windows once ... so its only said it once, i wouldnt expect it to say it again but i havent tryed | 03:32 |
| MarkJones | Only problem I see is that ive been in Debian Etch until now and I have a LPR driver and cups wrapper for my printer.But not sure how to get that driver to work.It doesnt show up in the drivers list like in Debian.Anyone know what I need to do? | 03:32 |
| keevie | when upgrading to intrepid from hardy, something went very wrong. . .https://keevie.privatepaste.com/3djs1WqBux it looks like this is a known bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/ca-certificates-java/+bug/289091 does anyone know how do i fix this? | 03:32 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | mzz: Here is a drill down of what happens, a large file is created on the NTFS partition. The NTFS parition is mounted on /host, and then the file is loopback mounted on / | 03:32 |
| shakir | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117117/ | 03:32 |
| peepsalot | I tried setting resolv.conf, but it was apparently overwritten. is there a way to set this so it won't be overwritten? | 03:32 |
| mzz | mib_lkgyn7: the initramfs does all that, right? | 03:33 |
| MarkJones | Right now my printer is using a recomended driver instead. | 03:33 |
| Logikos | mzz, mib_lkgyn7 i have my ubuntu dvd ... i could try putting it in right now and see if it gives me a prompt or something ?? | 03:33 |
| mzz | mib_lkgyn7: how is the initramfs told where everything is? | 03:33 |
| nickrud | MarkJones, make sure that you've installed the right packages; if so, file a bug | 03:33 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | mzz: I am not exactly sure how it is internally handled. Wait, let me try to digg up some info | 03:33 |
| mzz | mib_lkgyn7: I can do that myself, probably :) | 03:33 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | Logikos: A diskcheck from Windows wouldn't hurt a little bit | 03:33 |
| nickrud | shakir, ok, we're in a stable state with nagios3 uninistalled. You can try reinstalling it, but I think you might want to check that you have disk space left, etc. | 03:34 |
| X4D_ | Hello, is there a channel around here to get help with networking, more specifically troubleshooting DNS problems | 03:34 |
| Logikos | mib_lkgyn7: k | 03:35 |
| shakir | nickrud: i have a 63.7 GB free disc space | 03:35 |
| nickrud | shakir, hm, you only tried installing nagios3-common in the first place? | 03:35 |

| keevie | !details secvuln | 03:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about details secvuln | 03:36 |
| keevie | meh | 03:37 |
| shakir | nickrud: now what shoud i do ? | 03:37 |
| keevie | secvuln, whats the matter? whats the sound card? | 03:37 |
| northox | linux is gay stuff | 03:37 |
| youyi | -cn | 03:37 |
| nickrud | shakir, if you're trying to get nagios3 , you should do sudo apt-get install nagios3 , it will pull in any packages it needs, including -common. Now, I'm not promising it will work, that you won't be in the same spot you were ;) | 03:38 |
| Logikos | mib_lkgyn7: diskcheck complete, (i did not check the box to scan for and atempt to repair bad sectors ... that takes hours?) but the normal check passed fine | 03:38 |
| secvuln | keeview, Don't really know, it's a laptop and I usually refrain from opening them, as there small and compact. | 03:38 |
| marca311_ | northox: how come you are on the ubuntu forums? | 03:38 |
| keevie | secvuln, what??? | 03:38 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | Logikos: Yeah, that should be fine. So, the thing is it goes into initramfs recovery... there are a few threads on ubuntuforums but nothing too substaincial | 03:39 |
| Logikos | mib_lkgyn7: in grub's menu there is a recovery option .... i chose to try to boot to windows before i tryed that, so i didnt try it ... what does that do, is it worth a try? | 03:39 |
| secvuln | keeview, I don't really know | 03:39 |
| billybigrigger | w00t..just put my new server together and it posted first go!!! | 03:39 |
| secvuln | keeview, I don't know what sound card is in here unfortunately. | 03:39 |
| billybigrigger | just thought i'd share that with everyone, im pumped muhaha | 03:39 |
| shakir | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117118/ | 03:40 |
| nickrud | shakir, ok, that's a good install. | 03:40 |
| Logikos | mib_lkgyn7 most of my data, from in ubuntu, or windows, i stored to other partitions ... so if i lost this and had to start over it wouldnt kill me, however it would be very inconvient ... | 03:40 |
| X4D_ | I need help... I was messing around with dyndns and registered my IP there... I was not able to make it work properly... now I can't access most websites, google yes, wikipedia no and many others are unreachable. Is there anyone who could point me in the right direction to solve this problem ? | 03:40 |
| keevie | secvuln, find out! google the laptop or someting | 03:40 |
| shakir | nickrud : now we fix the error? | 03:40 |
| bjb1959 | trying to get a tv card and usb camera to work but can't because they both try to use /dev/video0 any ideas? | 03:41 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | Logikos: Yeah I get it. Although it is a really weird bug, let me see if google can kelp | 03:41 |
| nickrud | shakir, no error to fix now :) | 03:41 |
| shakir | nickrud: ok thank you very much | 03:41 |
| Marsjanin | Hello | 03:41 |
| n1ghtcrwler | mornin | 03:41 |
| Logikos | mib_lkgyn7 good luck, i tryed google but didnt notice anything to useful ... | 03:41 |
| nickrud | shakir, if you compare http://paste.ubuntu.com/117109/ to the last paste, you can see the difference and similarity | 03:41 |
| keevie | when upgrading to intrepid from hardy, something went very wrong. . .https://keevie.privatepaste.com/3djs1WqBux it looks like this is a known bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/ca-certificates-java/+bug/289091 does anyone know how do i fix this? | 03:41 |
| n1ghtcrwler | I have a couple things I'd like some advice on, if I could | 03:42 |
| nickrud | keevie, I tried going to your pastebin; it has a cert and I can't click it easily because of the leading period | 03:42 |
| shakir | nickrud:) yes i can see difference :) | 03:42 |
| nickrud | keevie, the leading period in the link above | 03:42 |
| keevie | Nickrud, sorry, ill paste it somewhere else | 03:42 |
| Scunizi | X4D_: most likely your dns servers in the router you replaced with those suggested by dyndns.. if you don't want the service chnage the dns servers. | 03:42 |
| keevie | nickrud, http://pastebin.com/m2351ee2c | 03:43 |
| n1ghtcrwler | I just installed intrepid onto my older Gateway laptop. It created a partition (which I'd like to delete the Windows one, issue one), and I can't get the wireless receiver to turn on (issue two) | 03:44 |
| Marsjanin | I got a problem: somebody packed up a huge file with (as I suppose) WinZIP using (new in it?) multipart function. The files are named: .z01 .z02 .z03 and last .zip - I cannot open it under Ubuntu in no way. :( Even copying it with cat first > temp, cat second >> temp etc. | 03:44 |
| Dracie_ | freaking fail - this is why nobody uses emerald https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emerald/+bug/205364 | 03:44 |
| n1ghtcrwler | anybody know how to do either of those? The wireless is the more pressing issue | 03:44 |
| Baatti | Greetings all, I was wondering if I could get some assistance with Direct Connecting my cell phone to my linux box via a usb cable | 03:45 |
| X4D_ | Scunizi: thanks for the tip, but I have reset my router and my DNS are pointing to my ISP. I've also expierienced similar issues before with MTU settings but after adjusting them there is no change | 03:45 |
| Logikos | mib_lkgyn7 when i put the ubuntu dvd into windows now it gives 3 options, first is 'demo and full instal' which reads to reboot the system, boot to cd, and you can demo, instal ubuntu alongside windows, or as the only OS ... 2nd option (probably what i tryed last time to get the setup i now have which worked for a few months untill now) is 'install inside windows' which reads to instal and uninstal ubuntu like any other application, | 03:45 |
| trwww | Hello. I can ssh from ALICE to BOBO but not BOB to ALICE. How do I copy a directory on ALICE to BOB? | 03:45 |
| Baatti | When I connect the phone, Linux recognizes it as a Broadband connection. I'm looking to just mount the phone as a volume | 03:45 |
| nickrud | keevie, I can help you remove the certificate package and the error; if you have one of the headless jre's installed that means it'll have to go as well. Or, we can fake out dpkg, make it think the cert package installed ok even though it didn't. That'll fix apt for you | 03:45 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | Logikos: Yeah, that is wubi. It relies of some parts of Windows to run properly | 03:45 |
| keevie | nickrud, great, i dont mind killing some certs, where to look? | 03:46 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | Logikos: I would say, go for a full install if you really want Ubuntu as a full fledge OS | 03:46 |
| Logikos | mib_lkgyn7: i would much rather we figure out how to save my past instlation beings i cant go in there and back anything up (such as my email) .. but if i chose option 1, and instal it alongside windows ... how does that work? how is it different? | 03:46 |
| keevie | nickrud, pm? | 03:46 |
| mzz | trwww: just use scp (scp /path/to/dir bob:/path/to/destination from a shell on alice)? | 03:46 |
| nickrud | keevie, ok, put a copy of /var/lib/dpkg/info/ca-certificates-java.postinst on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 03:46 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | Logikos: It should create a proper partition, and then let you install it as a separate partition, rather than running it inside the windows partition | 03:47 |
| mzz | trwww: or sftp if you prefer, all obviously assuming you have a shell on alice) | 03:47 |
| Logikos | mib_lkgyn7: i'm working on geting so i dont depend on windows, but i still depend on it slightly ... and would like both OS's .... i COULD instal windows in a VM i understand after doing ubuntu first but that cuts resources right? | 03:47 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | Logikos: Could you try a Chkdsk /r on the main boot parition | 03:47 |
| houstond | ok so noob question here, I've downloaded an application .bin to be exact, how do i install it? | 03:48 |

| sileni | hmm the new firefox starts in fullscreen every single time, and i have to press f11 twice to get it to normal. Does anyone know where the config file for firefox is so i can make it start normal everytime | 03:49 |
| theUg | Hi all. Is there a normal solution to keyring password problem when auto log-in? | 03:49 |
| mzz | linuxnooooob: recommend you don't run random stuff you downloaded as root though (more often than not there are packages you can use instead) | 03:49 |
| nickrud | keevie, ok, I'd suggest putting exit 0 on line 4, just below set -e . then run sudo apt-get -f install . Once it completes, sudo apt-get purge ca-certificates-java | 03:49 |
| RussM | Logikos, What do you use Windows for? That might determine whether Windows in a VM would be sufficient. It is for me. | 03:49 |
| Logikos | mib_lkgyn7 says 'chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by anouther process. ... i can scedual it to do it on a reboot? | 03:49 |
| mzz | sileni: that may be stored in localstore.rdf (under ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default) | 03:49 |
| Titan8990 | sileni, if im not mistaken, that is a bug with compiz | 03:49 |
| Marsjanin | trygg: apt-get ? | 03:49 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | Logikos: Yes please | 03:49 |
| trygg | yeah, i meant a gui ;) | 03:49 |
| sileni | Titan8990: hmm, is there a fix for this bug? | 03:50 |
| trygg | dont really know how to search | 03:50 |
| theUg | trygg: Add/Remove programs? | 03:50 |
| Titan8990 | sileni, unsure, only effects some people, I would search the forums because that is where I have seen it | 03:50 |
| linuxnooooob | um apparently i did something wrong keevie says no such file or directory | 03:50 |
| mzz | RussM: for pretty much everything that isn't a game I think a vm is not just sufficient but superior :) | 03:50 |
| Logikos | RussM: ms excell (there are some things that open office just doesnt do right :\ ) ... and paint shop pro are what i switch over to windows for ... i just havent figured gimp out yet .. and psp just doesnt run right in wine | 03:50 |
| Baatti | I'm trying to mount my cellphone as a volume, running Ubuntu 8.10....when I connect the phone (via usb), linux recognizes it as a Broadband Connection, but I can't view the volume. I can only configure a broadband connection. Anyone have ideas on how I can just mount the phone as a volume? | 03:50 |
| keevie | linuxnooooob, yeah, you have to replace app.bin with the actual filename. . . | 03:50 |
| linuxnooooob | um i did that :-) lolz | 03:50 |
| Logikos | mib_lkgyn7 k, i'll reboot and do that russ: i'll check your responce when i get back | 03:51 |
| mzz | linuxnooooob: also have to be in the directory that file is (not sure if "cd /path/to/that/file" was included) | 03:51 |
| Logikos | mzz: your saying a VM is beter than windows OS by itself? ... what about ram? | 03:51 |
| RussM | Logikos, Unless you're crunching an extremely complicated spreadsheet, I'm pretty sure a VM could handle running Excel just fine. | 03:51 |
| theUg | Anyone knows about keyring password prompt problem? | 03:51 |
| Logikos | i have 1.5 GB of ram | 03:51 |
| keevie | nickrud, okay, i did that, and it seemed to work. now i should probably change some stuff back? i doubt that script was completely useless | 03:51 |
| Marsjanin | Anybody knows how to unpack a multipart zip (z01, z02...zip), please? | 03:51 |
| Logikos | ubuntu was useing just under .8 | 03:51 |
| mzz | Logikos: ah, yes, you need a bit of ram. Not as much as I initially thought though, because apparently the drivers for the virtual sound and graphics are smaller than the (windows) drivers for the actual hardware. | 03:52 |
| Logikos | RussM: what about psp ... will psp be able to take screen shots from apps loaded in ubuntu? or are the OS's seperate like with windows virtual pc ... clipboard doesnt transfer etc? | 03:53 |
| RussM | mzz, I'm with you. I'm very happy with VMs. | 03:53 |
| mib_lkgyn7 | So, who was asking about multipartÉ | 03:53 |
| mzz | Logikos: clipboard should transfer. You can also share folders from the host to the guest. | 03:53 |
| nickrud | keevie, you can try running the install again, you know how to back out of a failed install now. But I'd look over the bug report, see if it has a workaround, if you really need those certs | 03:53 |
| mzz | Logikos: so you can just use an ubuntu screenshot app and save the screenshot in a directory the guest sees. | 03:53 |
| linuxnooooob | so yeah i've made sure i had the right path and all, not sure what im doing wrong | 03:53 |

| Logikos | mzz: well i have other partitions ... in /media on ubuntu ... the windows inside the VM would have access to those partitions as D:\ and E:\ etc right? | 03:54 |
| keevie | nickrud, alright, thanks muchly. i doubt i would have found that on my own | 03:54 |
| mzz | linuxnooooob: try to tab-complete the filename and dir to make sure you get them right | 03:54 |
| nickrud | keevie, doing the purge undid anything that script would have done, so you're back to a state as if you'd never installed it (I think that's what you were really asking) | 03:54 |
| mzz | Logikos: if you want them to be. | 03:54 |
| Titan8990 | Logikos, not without special configuration | 03:54 |
| RussM | Logikos, I don't know if you'll be able to cut/paste more than text... it may depend on the VM you pick, too. | 03:54 |

| Titan8990 | Logikos, and it is considered dangerous, easier to host them via ftp or scp on the host machine | 03:54 |
| RussM | Logikos, psp? | 03:54 |
| mzz | Logikos: the vm doesn't look at the actual on-disk partitions. You can just share one or more actual host directories, which the guest sees as network filesystems. | 03:55 |
| linuxnooooob | tab-complete the file name? and dir to make sure i got them right? | 03:55 |
| Logikos | Titan8990: i'm more concerned about resource sharing ... for example, i plug my flash drive into the pc ... ubuntu will see it ... will windows see it inside the VM ? | 03:55 |

| mzz | Logikos: windows doesn't see your host usb devices (unless you explicitly configure this, which is only useful for devices you don't have host drivers for) | 03:56 |
| mzz | Logikos: the vm won't see the actual flash drive, but if you mount the flash drive below a directory that's shared with the guest it'll see its contents just fine | 03:56 |
| RussM | Logikos, Oh, sorry, I don't use it. | 03:56 |
| sagredo | since I updated to 8.10 expose crashes compizfusion | 03:56 |
| sagredo | what gives!!! | 03:56 |
| linuxnooooob | so yeah totally lost | 03:57 |
| === n1ght-brb is now known as n1ghtcrwler | ||
| Logikos | Titan8990: mzz: RussM: if i 'share' /media ... so long as i've opened it in ubuntu and therefore ubuntu auto mounts it under /media ... the windows will be able to access it as a network drive .. do i understand this correctly? | 03:57 |
| mzz | Logikos: yep. | 03:57 |
| n1ghtcrwler | How do I delete the Windows partition on my computer to run ubuntu exclusively? | 03:58 |
| mzz | Logikos: windows has no clue the stuff below /media/ is actually on different drives. It just sees all of /media as a regular network share. | 03:58 |
| Logikos | understood | 03:58 |
| Jaan|Perfect | is there any software wich collates details of my hardware devices and send report and let me know whether hardware is supported and drivers are available | 03:58 |
| mzz | Logikos: (I'm talking about VirtualBox, but this should be very similar in other vm software) | 03:58 |
| Logikos | as long as the directory names are unique enough to identify what i'm dealing with | 03:58 |
| RussM | Logikos, the actual mechanism for sharing files differs a bit between VMs, but yes, you can usually make any part of the host filesystem available to the guest. | 03:58 |
| Logikos | which i presume are the device lables | 03:58 |
| Titan8990 | Logikos, they can be whatever you want them to be | 03:58 |
| mzz | Logikos: and you *can* probably give the vm access to the raw partition too, but that's usually less convenient (because you can't do the same from the host at the same time, they'd stomp on each other) | 03:59 |
| Baatti | n1ghtcrwler, just boot your computer from the cd, and chose to install Ubuntu..when the partitioner asks you how you want to partition, chose GUIDED FULL | 03:59 |
| Logikos | alright, great ... is .5GB RAM alocation enough for XP + MS Office + Paint Shop Pro ? | 03:59 |
| Logikos | i know that it is 'enough to get buy' | 03:59 |
| Logikos | but ... | 03:59 |
| Logikos | by* | 03:59 |
| linuxnooooob | still cant install the damn thing | 04:00 |
| mzz | Logikos: I haven't used PSP enough to answer that. I'd expect it to be quite sufficient for office. | 04:00 |
| RussM | Logikos, I wish I had PSP to try it. | 04:00 |
| nickrud | linuxnooooob, what exactly are you trying to install anyway? | 04:00 |
| Logikos | psp has ALOT less overhead that adobe photoshop | 04:00 |
| trwww | mzz: thanks! | 04:00 |
| Logikos | i'd estamate half | 04:00 |
| keevie | time to tell him to use apt :D | 04:00 |
| n1ghtcrwler | Baatti: that's a bit of a problem. For some reason, my cd drive won't acknowledge the ubuntu cd. I had to extract it to the desktop and install it from there. The install worked, but now I'm stuck with the partitions | 04:00 |
| linuxnooooob | Planeshift. game its a .bin | 04:00 |
| nickrud | keevie, that's where I hoped it would go :) | 04:00 |
| linuxnooooob | have it downloaded to desktop | 04:00 |
| RussM | Logikos, I just went with Gimp - it's not as "pretty", perhaps, but it does what I want. | 04:00 |
| Titan8990 | Logikos, 512mb might be pushing it for all those apps at the same time | 04:01 |
| Logikos | eventualy i pray i'll be free from my windows dependancy but ... i'm working on it lol | 04:01 |
| nickrud | linuxnooooob, sudo ~/Desktop/<planeshiftfilename> | 04:01 |
| Titan8990 | Logikos, I always found 1gb to be ideal for xp | 04:01 |
| Titan8990 | Logikos, but yes, you will get by | 04:01 |
| sileni | ephiphany is still as powerful as firefox is correct? | 04:01 |
| Baatti | n1ghtcrwler, did you mount the .iso file on the disk as an image? | 04:01 |
| Logikos | RussM: i tryed Gimp several times ... it takes me to long to do the things i need to do ... several things i cant figure out how to make it do .. but i cant figure out how to make photoshop do it either and ppl love photoshop ... its just i hate graphic design but i have to do it some times ... and i dont want to invest the time into switching programs ? | 04:02 |
| mzz | Logikos: oh, yes, I was interpreting that as one office app or psp at a time | 04:02 |
| n1ghtcrwler | Baatti: yep. And all my roommates' computers recognize it for what it should be. Just not mine (which I presume has something to do with the host of problems that encouraged me to drop Windows in the first place) | 04:02 |
| mzz | Logikos: keep in mind that you'll probably end up installing fewer drivers and background utilities on the vm | 04:02 |
| Logikos | Titan8990: i agree .. but i think ubuntu as the primary OS containing the VM needs more than .5 GB and i cant aford to upgrade my ram :\ | 04:02 |
| Baatti | n1ghtcrwler, hrm, I know a few people who've had similar problems. I unfortunately don't have the expertise to assist you further. Just keep asking around here and I'm sure someone who CAN help will | 04:03 |
| Baatti | sorry | 04:03 |
| mzz | Logikos: also, you can usually play with the ram allocation a bit with just reboots of the vm, so you can find a sweet spot somewhere between .5G and 1G if necessary | 04:03 |

| Logikos | that nice guy who was trying to research how to solve my problem no longer seems to be here mib_something | 04:03 |
| Titan8990 | Logikos, no, it will run fine, windows uses virtual memory similar to linux swap | 04:03 |
| RussM | Logikos, I understand. I love Gimp because it's powerful enough for me, available on Linux and Windows, and scriptable. But believe me, I know it's not easy to learn a new model. | 04:03 |
| Ryan_Chau | hey | 04:04 |
| Ryan_Chau | i had a quick question | 04:04 |
| Ryan_Chau | does anyone know if there is a chinese vrsion of ubuntu | 04:04 |
| Titan8990 | !pastebin | linuxnooooob | 04:04 |
| ubottu | linuxnooooob: 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) | 04:04 |
| mzz | jaxx2kde: that sounds like you missed a ./configure (so there's no Makefile yet) | 04:04 |
| n1ghtcrwler | Baatti: that's fine. But I have another problem, do you know how to get it to let me turn on my wireless receiver? It's an old Gateway, and the only way to turn it on that I know of is Fn+F2. The ubuntu doesn't appear to recognize the command. | 04:04 |

| n1ghtcrwler | Baatti: heh, yeah, my old one had that. Much easier. Alright, thanks anyway! | 04:06 |
| mzz | learning: for what? | 04:06 |
| Logikos | Titan8990:, mzz, RussM, anyone i missed: thanks for all the info and all the help ... i was really hopeing to recover my ubuntu partition but no one seems to have a clue how to do that ... thankfuly i didnt save much inside that actual partition .. i'll reboot for the chkdsk /r now | 04:06 |
| Logikos | bbl | 04:06 |
| linuxnooooob | um still lost | 04:06 |
| Baatti | n1ghtcrwler, SORRY i couldn't be more help. Good luck, and don't give up | 04:06 |
| redvamp128 | jaxx2kde: was that the correct program you wanted to install ? ? Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- b43-fwcutter <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=b43-fwcutter+&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all> | 04:06 |
| Titan8990 | Logikos, you didn't ask about recovering a ubuntu partition? | 04:07 |
| mzz | heh | 04:07 |
| mzz | redvamp128++ | 04:07 |
| n1ghtcrwler | alright. Does anyone know how to delete the Windows partition after installing intrepid that doesn't involve the ubuntu boot disk? | 04:07 |
| Titan8990 | .... | 04:07 |
| jaxx2kde | mzz, redvamp128: i am trying to install the b43 drivers for my broadcom so that i can patch them in order to use aircrack | 04:08 |
| Titan8990 | n1ghtcrwler, fdisk | 04:08 |
| rdw200169 | n1ghtcrwler, if you don't mind keeping the partition *SPACE*, you can just format it as ext3 or something | 04:08 |
| RussM | Titan8990, I think the question was way - way back. | 04:08 |
| jaxx2kde | it says right now that i am running some "wl" driver | 04:08 |
| redvamp128 | jaxx2kde: Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware fwcutter is a tool which can extract firmware from various source files. It's written for BCM43xx driver files. | 04:08 |
| n1ghtcrwler | Titan8990: where's that? rdw200169: I really would like to just dump it altogether | 04:09 |
| learning | i've half a mind to join a club and beat you with it | 04:09 |
| jaxx2kde | yes.. i have a BCM4311 | 04:09 |
| Ryan_Chau | does anyone know if there is a chinese version of ubuntu? | 04:09 |
| rdw200169 | n1ghtcrwler, the best thing for you is gparted, it's a graphical partition manager | 04:09 |
| Baatti | Ryan_Chau, can't you just chose chinese as your native language when installing? | 04:09 |
| rdw200169 | n1ghtcrwler, it's always... ALWAYS... dangerous to try what you are talking about, i.e. resizing your linux partition to fill the space that windows once filled | 04:10 |
| rainbowinfinity | can anyone help me adjust the settings for folding@home?..it runs all the time and i'm afraid of killing my puter | 04:10 |
| ashlessburn | rainbow why are u adjusting setting | 04:10 |
| rdw200169 | n1ghtcrwler, especially if you want (or need) to keep the information on your linux side intact | 04:10 |
| trwww | I have a question about the .screenrc file... namely, the screen statement syntax. At | 04:10 |
| n1ghtcrwler | rdw200269: is that available on the Add/Remove Applications thing, or no? And what's dangerous about it? | 04:10 |
| rdw200169 | n1ghtcrwler, you can also screw up the boot manager... among other things | 04:10 |
| trwww | http://magazine.redhat.com/2007/09/27/a-guide-to-gnu-screen/ | 04:10 |
| n1ghtcrwler | ah | 04:10 |
| trwww | it gives the example: | 04:10 |
| trwww | screen -t NameOfScreen ScreenNumber ShellCommand | 04:11 |
| rdw200169 | n1ghtcrwler, just search for gparted in synaptic | 04:11 |
| trwww | but for ShellCommand, it dosent seem that I can put arbitrary commands in there. | 04:11 |
| rainbowinfinity | it seems to run constantly and I'm afraid it's going to kill my processor or something | 04:11 |
| trwww | for example, for: | 04:11 |
| trwww | screen -t prod1 4 cd /usr/prod | 04:11 |
| trwww | cannot exec 'cd' no such file or directory | 04:11 |
| trwww | does anyone know where I can find some documentation for ShellCommand? | 04:11 |
| n1ghtcrwler | rdw200269: well, crap. I really wanna free up that memory space, I don't have a whole lot to be splitting between the two, you know? What's the likelyhood, do you think, of wrecking ubuntu in the process? | 04:12 |
| ashlessburn | umm unless u are running root or a specefic install u should be good im not quite understanding why u are tryign to modifiy thoguh | 04:12 |
| mzz | trwww: "cd" is a shell builtin (it has to be) | 04:12 |
| usser | rainbowinfinity, its supposed to run constantly, you basically donating your cpu time, your computer was designed to run constantly, it cant kill it by loading the processor with tasks | 04:12 |
| * mzz wonders if there's special syntax to start a process in a different initial dir | 04:12 | |
| * mzz checks | 04:12 | |
| zcat[1] | rainbowinfinity: that's how it works.. if you don't like having a program that uses 100% of your 'spare processing power' why did you install one? | 04:12 |
| trwww | so I cant use shell builtins in SHellCommand | 04:12 |
| trwww | ? | 04:12 |
| linuxnooooob | thank you nickrud your the man | 04:12 |
| rainbowinfinity | but the fan runs constantly since I installed it, even while I'm working on it, and it never used to | 04:12 |
| rdw200169 | n1ghtcrwler, if you try resizing, the problems would be several-fold; consequentially, you can't run ubuntu of that partition while attempting a resize operation | 04:13 |
| nickrud | linuxnooooob, yw | 04:13 |
| RussM | trwww, even if you did use cd, the shell would then end. | 04:13 |
| zcat[1] | rainbowinfinity: es. exactly. That's what happens when you're constantly using 100% of available processing power | 04:13 |
| rdw200169 | n1ghtcrwler, so you would likely have to use the gparted livecd | 04:13 |
| Zencyde | Hey, I'm having trouble the the GNOME clock applet. Whenever I try to set the system time, it starts up the Compiz benchmark. I've since disabled the benchmark and the application kills itself upon entering my password. Anyone care to help? | 04:13 |
| RussM | trwww, Do you just want to have the screen session started, but be in a particular directory? | 04:13 |
| XDS2010 | Small Question: Can 'vmalloc=xxxM' be initiated at the boot command level ? | 04:13 |
| rainbowinfinity | i want it to use all of my processor...when i'm not using it, i want to set it up so it works while i'm not working | 04:14 |
| mzz | trwww: look for the "chdir" command in the manual | 04:14 |
| rdw200169 | n1ghtcrwler, that, and with 2 separate partitions, you *could* do a very smart thing (for the future) and assign the /home directory to that space | 04:14 |
| rdw200169 | n1ghtcrwler, then, if you want to re-install ubuntu, you can keep your /home folder where all your personal configurations and files reside | 04:14 |
| redvamp128 | Zencyde: why not just turn compiz off then set clock- System- preferences then appearance -- then visual effects turn them off | 04:14 |
| darksmurf | I am running intrepid on a dell mini9. I have no swap space. I have been reading about how to use s2disk with a swap file that is activated right before hibernating and deactivated after resuming. I am able to execute 's2disk', hibernate and resume with no real problems. How can I make gnome's 'hibernate' option from the Shut down menu execute s2disk, or a custom script? | 04:14 |
| n1ghtcrwler | rdw200169: which likely wouldn't work, as my computer is being very finnicky about what disks it reads. Ah, well, I'll just delete as much of the Windows stuff as I can to free up space, leave the partition. How do I make ubuntu the primary boot? | 04:14 |
| mzz | trwww: alternatively, use "sh -c 'insert shell here'" in the command | 04:15 |
| mzz | trwww: chdir is much more convenient for this particular case though | 04:15 |
| trwww | > (11:12:07 PM) mzz: trwww: "cd" is a shell builtin (it has to be) | 04:15 |
| trwww | yeah it was suprising! I thought I knew linux pretty well, but when I did a 'which cd' it didnt find it | 04:15 |
| Zencyde | You know, I don't think the issue is with Compiz. :( | 04:15 |
| trwww | I figrured it was in memory and called something else on disk | 04:15 |
| trwww | no biggie... but right now I /am/ trying to figure out how that relates to commands in the .screenrc file | 04:15 |
| rdw200169 | n1ghtcrwler, why do you say it wouldn't work? how is ubuntu installed right now? you did a normal install, right? i.e. not wubi? | 04:15 |
| Zencyde | Also, I'd rather avoid having to deal with killing and starting new processes. :P Got any advice that doesn't require that? | 04:15 |
| mzz | trwww: processes run *by* your interactive shell can't change its environment or working directory. | 04:15 |
| RussM | trwww, Environment things (like current work directory) are inherited by child processes.... but what happens in the child process doesn't affect the parent process. | 04:16 |
| mzz | trwww: if "cd" was not a builtin it'd run, change its own working directory, then exit. | 04:16 |
| trwww | mzz: cool thx | 04:16 |
| trwww | ah... that I do understand | 04:16 |
| trwww | mzz+++++ | 04:16 |
| RussM | trwww, So, if you started a child process (that is, cd) it would affect that child process, but then exit. | 04:16 |
| mzz | trwww: (or you'd have to use it like the "env" command: run it, change directory, then have it exec a new shell. That's pretty daft though) | 04:16 |
| mzz | heh | 04:16 |
| n1ghtcrwler | rdw200169: I downloaded the disc image, extracted it to the desktop, and ran it from there. The (3) cd's I made of it, while all work fine when I checked them (without installing them) on my roommates' computers, mine wouldn't even acknowledge the disc had anything on it | 04:16 |
| mzz | RussM: sorry, missed your reply | 04:17 |
| rainbowinfinity | zcat[1].. i understand the point of f@h...i've been running it on my ps3 for over a year, but even when i ran it on windows, i had the option to let it work while i was not...all i want is that option | 04:17 |
| mzz | would've kept my mouth shut otherwise :) | 04:17 |
| trwww | no biggie... I understand now... its similar to changing an environment var in a script. When the script exits, the value is gone. | 04:17 |
| darksmurf | n1ghtcrwler, when I see that problem (and I have, many times) it usually ends up being a bad cdrom drive. | 04:17 |

| rdw200169 | n1ghtcrwler, you don't even have ubuntu installed? | 04:18 |
| Zencyde | Okay, I just turned off Compiz. Same problem as before. It kills itself upon finishing my password. | 04:18 |
| n1ghtcrwler | darksmurf: except that it reads audio cd's (and the apps on some of them) just fine | 04:18 |

| n1ghtcrwler | rdw200169: yeah, I'm talking to you from the ubuntu partition that I installed that way. The install worked fine by that method, I just have the partitions to deal with now | 04:18 |
| rdw200169 | Wee, you should just hit the screenshot key! | 04:18 |
| Zencyde | What's the GNOME clock applet called, anyway? Maybe reinstalling or doing a dpkg configure would help? | 04:18 |

| darksmurf | n1ghtcrwler, did that drive burn the disks? has that drive ever been able to read burned disks from the drive you used? | 04:18 |

| darksmurf | n1ghtcrwler, just trying to give you ideas. | 04:19 |
| Wee | s/triangle/rectangle | 04:19 |
| RussM | trwww, But you want to end up at a bash prompt, right? | 04:19 |
| rakudave | iShock: wubi, vmware will slow things down considerably | 04:19 |
| iShock | rakudave, how so | 04:20 |
| trwww | yep... in the directory /usr/prod | 04:20 |
| n1ghtcrwler | darksmurf: no, I burned it from my roommate's computer because my Windows was having a stack of problems. I assume one of these is involved in it's inability to read burned discs, which it used to do just fine | 04:20 |
| rdw200169 | Wee, well, the old windows rules apply, try Alt + Print Screen | 04:20 |
| redvamp128 | Zencyde: I did find this how to set it command prompt | 04:20 |
| rdw200169 | Wee, that gets the active window instead of the whole desktop | 04:20 |
| Wee | rdw200169, that captures the focused window - I would prefer capturing a focused area as selected by designating a certain area myself with some sort of a selection tool | 04:20 |

| n1ghtcrwler | darksmurf: but, that's not that big of a problem, I can live with the partitions if I have to, and ubuntu is working fine. I just wanted to get rid of it if I could | 04:20 |
| rakudave | iShock: it takes alot of comuting power to emulate a virtual pc plus the host system, so there won't be too much left for ubuntu itself | 04:20 |

| Wee | rdw200169, oh.. he SHOWED me the program on windows that could do it.. he simply hits the screenshot button.. and after a few seconds his mouse cursor turns into a selection tool.. he selects it, and it's on the clipboard.. | 04:22 |
| Titan8990 | Zencyde, yep, but supossidly there is a on-off button you can get for it that will not do that | 04:22 |
| rakudave | ammagendut: system--admin--sources or in a terminal "sudo gedit /etc/atp/sources.list" | 04:22 |
| redvamp128 | Zencyde: I did find a way to set it through prompt-- http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2007/12/06/manage-time-in-ubuntu-through-command-line/ | 04:23 |
| Zencyde | Christ.. and I had it perfectly set up. | 04:23 |
| Titan8990 | Zencyde, I always just used seperate users for compiz and no compiz | 04:23 |
| Zencyde | :( | 04:23 |
| Zencyde | Bleh.. | 04:23 |
| Zencyde | This pisses me off. | 04:23 |
| Zencyde | I swear, I spent an hour setting it. | 04:23 |
| Titan8990 | Zencyde, also, if you do: metacity --replace | 04:23 |
| darksmurf | [PRO]Lifixs, hmm. try looking at gksu, gksudo ? | 04:23 |
| ammagendut | thanks rakudave | 04:23 |
| Titan8990 | Zencyde, to turn off compiz instead of using the gnome GUI it may save your settings.... | 04:23 |
| Zencyde | Haha, yeah. :( I just used what the person earlier said. I shouldn't have listened, though. I knew the problem wasn't with Compiz... | 04:23 |
| redvamp128 | Zencyde: I don't have that issue -- I use compiz-switch to turn compiz on and off and it saves settings always for me | 04:23 |
| Baatti | How can I mount my cellphone (LG3500) as a volume, and not have Ubuntu auto-detect it as a Broadband connection? | 04:24 |
| RussM | trwww, Make a quick script file up... call it "myscript", put ". ~/.bashrc; cd /usr/prod" in it. Then run "screen bash --init-file myscript" | 04:24 |
| n1ghtcrwler | But the other problem, the one I'm actually more concerned about, is this: My wireless receiver won't turn on. This is a Gateway, and instead of having a nice switch I have to hit the function key+F2. But the ubuntu doesn't appear to recognize this command | 04:24 |
| redvamp128 | Zencyde: I was only going by what you gave me about the benchmark starting-- when you goto set time | 04:24 |
| rdw200169 | Wee, perhaps you should tell your very-irritated friend to do the same thing he did on windows to find the app, use google: https://launchpad.net/shutter | 04:24 |
| darksmurf | n1ghtcrwler, try installing aircraft manager | 04:24 |
| ammagendut | rakudave: my source list is empty, how can fullfill it? | 04:24 |
| n1ghtcrwler | darksmurf: alright, cool. Is that in the Add/Remove Programs list, or should I look for it online? | 04:25 |
| Titan8990 | ammagendut, ask for someones here.... | 04:25 |
| ammagendut | i want to insert new source but i found error like this sudo wget http://blog.myfenris.net/files/myoss/ubuntu/mmu.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mmu.list | 04:25 |
| RussM | trwww, screen will run the command "bash", bash will read myscript as its init-file, causing it to run the normal startup and then cd into the target directory, voila | 04:25 |
| rakudave | ammagendut: just add the line of a repository you want to add, such as "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main" | 04:25 |
| Wee | rdw200169, I'll tell him to apt-get it, hopefully it's a good solution. thank you for the time :) | 04:25 |
| darksmurf | n1ghtcrwler, I would look in the synaptic package manager. It has a larger list than Add/Remove | 04:25 |
| n1ghtcrwler | darksmurf: alright, cool. I'll check that out. | 04:26 |
| Zencyde | Haha, yeah. I guess I should have been more specific, first. Thanks for the advice on where to find those config files. I can just fuck with the NTP settings there. | 04:26 |
| === n1ghtcrwler is now known as n1ght-brb | ||
| trwww | RussM: hrm.... that would mean all shells in the screen instance start at /usr/prod. I may want another one that sits at /usr/stage. | 04:26 |
| rdw200169 | Wee, it won't be in the repo's, he has to use the PPA's, check the link i gave you, all the instructions are there pertaining to its usage and installation | 04:26 |
| RussM | trwww, You'd need a different "myscript" for each target directory. | 04:27 |
| Jim_Raynor | i guess that nobody knows, then... | 04:27 |
| Wee | rdw200169, pardon my ignorance, what's PPA? | 04:27 |
| rdw200169 | Wee, personal repositories hosted on launchpad, you add the personal repo to apt, and then it will update correctly, etc... | 04:28 |
| Zencyde | Can I get the current time from anyone using NTP? | 04:29 |
| RussM | trwww, to simplify, you could make a shell alias or a script file up that runs screen with the appropriate arguments. | 04:29 |

| Zencyde | No one here is using NTP? You're kidding... | 04:29 |

| RORgasm | guys what is kvm? | 04:34 |
| Flannel | !kvm | RORgasm | 04:34 |
| ubottu | RORgasm: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 04:34 |
| RORgasm | is it similar to virtual box or vmware server? | 04:35 |
| RORgasm | i've used both virtualbox and vmware server | 04:35 |
| mzz | RORgasm: yes, but iirc kvm just does linux on linux currently | 04:35 |
| ashlessburn | titan u as well my irc just took a dump | 04:35 |

| mzz | RORgasm: read the wikipedia page instead | 04:35 |
| linxuz3r | sorry | 04:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | RORgasm: Similar, but often faster. It is based on QEMU but for x86/x86_64 only, and runs as many instructions as possible on the processor itself without emulation | 04:35 |

| === john is now known as Guest44198 | ||
| IntuitiveNipple | RORgasm: kvm is very good. I use it routinely for Linux and Windows | 04:36 |
| RORgasm | IntuitiveNipple, so i can run windows on KVM instead of virtualbox? it will porbably run better on KVM?? | 04:36 |
| mzz | IntuitiveNipple: and you can windows as guest on a host without native virtualization support in the cpu? | 04:37 |
| IntuitiveNipple | RORgasm: XP runs pretty good in my experience | 04:37 |
| rakudave | !kde | linxuz3r | 04:37 |
| ubottu | linxuz3r: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

| adante | hi guys where does cron log to? i can't see anything in /var/log | 04:46 |
| mcnellis | My computer doesn't detect either harddrive if I have two plugged in, ergo I can only plug one in at a time. Is there some thing in the BIOS that could preventing both on the same IDE controller? | 04:47 |
| goodmami | is it possible to suspend without logging out? | 04:47 |
| rakudave | adante: i think they are "mailed" to you, type "mail" in a terminal | 04:47 |
| adante | rakudave: ah i don't have mail installed :3 | 04:47 |
| Titan8990 | adante, cron mails you or you can specify log | 04:48 |
| mzz | (or configure your favorite mail client to read that mail spool, after figuring out where it lives) | 04:48 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | are tor related issues supported here? | 04:48 |
| Titan8990 | adante, you can do: croncommand > /var/log/logfile | 04:48 |
| mzz | U-b-u-n-t-u: only if they're also somehow ubuntu-related :) | 04:48 |
| rakudave | adante: then i don't know ^^ | 04:48 |
| Titan8990 | adante, and some commands might already have logging functions built in, like rsync | 04:48 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | ok mzz I had some issues with tor before and I am not sure why I am going to give it another go | 04:48 |

| mzz | trwww: try without the ";" | 04:58 |
| mzz | Huufarted: I'd expect that driver to be packaged. Do you really need a newer version than what's packaged? | 04:59 |
| mzz | trwww: (ssh can take a command, which can be bash) | 04:59 |
| Huufarted | mzz, by packaged you mean part of the intrepid install? | 04:59 |
| mzz | Huufarted: yes | 04:59 |

| Huufarted | ah, ok. I figured they were generic ones. I'll leave well enough alone, then. | 05:00 |
| trwww | yeah I put it there | 05:00 |
| mzz | Huufarted: well, I really mean "in one of ubuntu's repositories", but in this case that package would be installed by default too. | 05:00 |

| lockd | ashlessburn: I mean for audio I had to set it to "Command: ossplay" | 05:03 |
| trygg | now it worked, wonderful. | 05:03 |
| poet | mzz: let me see if it's reproducable | 05:03 |
| linxuz3r | how do i disable the machine beeping in ubuntu gnome? | 05:03 |
| trygg | kind of a wierd question, but whats the flashiest audio player? | 05:03 |
| mzz | urgh | 05:03 |
| mzz | flashy-- | 05:03 |
| IntuitiveNipple | aplay :p | 05:04 |
| trygg | yeah, just want something to impress people with :D | 05:04 |
| sloopy | how do i install the madwifi drivers in 8.10? | 05:04 |
| Titan8990 | linxuz3r, if you are talking about the terminal you can disable it in it's settings | 05:04 |
| trwww | thanks mzz and RussM. That is so cool. Really nice setup. thanks a million. | 05:04 |
| lockd | hmm guess it was a fluke, pidgin sounds works now | 05:04 |
| trygg | just got a 8800gts so i've gotten compiz and stuff, pretty nice. | 05:04 |
| scrolls | sloppy: http://madwifi.org/Downloads/0.Howto.Install.Madwifi.txt | 05:04 |
| Titan8990 | linxuz3r, like edit -> prefrences | 05:04 |
| learning | anyone hook eliza into pidgin? | 05:05 |
| ashlessburn | hmm have u ran the update dkpg | 05:05 |
| Luke_ | anyone know what the deal is with sound? | 05:05 |
| sloopy | scrolls, in 8.04 there was a way that didnt require compiling them... | 05:05 |
| linxuz3r | how do i change the terminal sound? | 05:06 |
| lockd | Luke_: you could always try alternate sound daemons | 05:06 |
| poet | mzz: it is in fact reproducable. Although sometimes after I plug in a device and type 'sudo lsusb', it hangs. But for several types of usb devices, it makes ubuntu recognize them | 05:06 |
| mzz | trwww: yep, screen is nice, although I use it differently (I usually have exactly one screen session running per host and rarely nest them) | 05:06 |
| ashlessburn | o u are correct lockd | 05:06 |
| lockd | Luke_: pulseaudio has caused a bunch of people issues | 05:06 |
| ashlessburn | read the entire thing lol | 05:07 |
| mzz | poet: weird! anything interesting happening in dmesg right before or after the lsusb? | 05:07 |
| scrolls | sloppy: sadly im new to ubuntu and linux in general so im not familiar with older versions. you can still make it work in 8.10 no? | 05:07 |
| Luke_ | lockd: when did it start causing issues? it's been fine for me until just now | 05:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | trygg: Have you looked at audacious? | 05:08 |
| lockd | Luke_: daemon crashed a lot for me when I used it | 05:08 |
| poet | mzz: I think, while lsusb is hanging it produces this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117127/ | 05:08 |
| Titan8990 | sloopy, have you checked the restricted driver manager? | 05:08 |
| Luke_ | lockd: its still running | 05:08 |
| mzz | poet: that's not a happy message at all | 05:08 |
| sloopy | scrolls, restricted manager installs the ath5k driver which i cant use | 05:08 |
| sloopy | Titan8990, see my last msg | 05:09 |
| lockd | Luke_: I would disable it and try something in ALSA to make sure that even works | 05:09 |
| mzz | poet: I don't know enough about usb to really debug this (although I might end up learning more about it in the future to debug a problem of my own...) | 05:09 |
| scrolls | sloppy, so youre SOL then? | 05:09 |
| Luke_ | lockd: trying now | 05:09 |
| * mzz glares at the buggy usb in the ancient laptop next to him | 05:09 | |
| poet | mzz: that particular device I was trying to use was an external harddrive. after lsusb stops hanging, the hard drive is recognized and dmesg has this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117128/ | 05:09 |
| trygg | IntuitiveNipple: not really what im looking for. windows have a great player named helium | 05:09 |
| scrolls | sloopy my bad | 05:09 |
| sloopy | scrolls, no i will just have to compile them... didnt want to but if i must... | 05:09 |
| Titan8990 | sloopy, compiling the madwifi drivers are pretty easy.... | 05:09 |
| poet | mzz: ok :-) thanks for trying though | 05:09 |
| scrolls | lol | 05:09 |
| Luke_ | lockd: still no sound with alsa | 05:09 |
| mzz | poet: all that "busy inodes on changed media" makes me suspect it's detected, automounted, then re-detected or something like that. | 05:10 |
| trygg | http://www.helium-music-manager.com/ - nothing like that available? | 05:10 |
| Titan8990 | sloopy, it may be in the repositories, but I was get the source | 05:10 |
| sloopy | Titan8990, yes it is, but if there is a place with precompiled modules, i dont need to recompile on new version... | 05:10 |
| poet | mzz: yeah something weird must be going on | 05:10 |
| Titan8990 | !madwifi | sloopy | 05:10 |
| ubottu | sloopy: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 05:10 |
| lockd | Luke_: you're running from the command line to make sure it's not blocking? | 05:11 |
| sloopy | Titan8990, i just hope the day the ath5k driver supporting ap mode will come soon :') | 05:11 |
| mzz | trygg: amarok seems to be popular, although I have no idea if it's sufficiently flashy (I don't really do kde-based apps) | 05:11 |
| Titan8990 | sloopy, and injection patch | 05:11 |
| lockd | you can always run Winamp in wine if you need pure flashiness | 05:11 |
| Luke_ | lockd: running what from the command line to make sure whats not blocking? | 05:11 |
| ashlessburn | titan dont forget dome madwifi doesnt work wpa duppliant if that doesnt work using the ndigtk is the only option | 05:12 |
| scrolls | XMMS is a good one, its like winamp. runs fast and strong | 05:12 |
| ashlessburn | for unex | 05:12 |
| poet | what's the most portable filesystem to put on an external harddrive? | 05:12 |
| lockd | Luke_: alsaplayer, or whatever | 05:12 |
| trygg | damn. maybe have to wine helium then :) | 05:13 |
| scrolls | ashlessburn: im using ubuntu 8.10 | 05:13 |
| Luke_ | lockd: i think it may be a gstreamer issue? but flash doesn't work either | 05:13 |
| lockd | hey, anyone know of an XMMS plugin or similar which lets you mess around with mixing from other apps? | 05:13 |
| ashlessburn | scrolls priv me | 05:13 |
| lockd | Luke_: check to see if alsaplayer works -without- pulseaudio running | 05:13 |
| areay | how do i setup /etc/network/interfaces for eth0 with a static ip? it works fine with dhcp but static won't work... | 05:14 |
| mzz | poet: still fat32 imho | 05:14 |
| ammagendut | hi there | 05:14 |
| ammagendut | how can i fix this : Could not download all repository indexes | 05:15 |
| Titan8990 | areay, you also have to edit /etc/resolv.conf | 05:15 |
| mzz | poet: I'd consider ntfs for a larger drive | 05:15 |
| poet | mzz: how is that for large filesystems? | 05:15 |
| sloopy | Titan8990, heh that page needs some updating and some false info removed... | 05:15 |
| mzz | heh | 05:15 |
| poet | ah | 05:15 |
| areay | Titan8990, I did, then restarted... you just put each nameserver on a new line, right? | 05:15 |
| mzz | poet: (windows can obviously handle ntfs, recent-ish linux can handle it pretty well using ntfs-3g, iirc mac can use ntfs-3g too but I'm not sure) | 05:15 |
| Titan8990 | areay, yes | 05:15 |
| areay | Titan8990, yeah it didn't work :( i've tried the ip of my router and opendns and i get nada... i can ping any external ip i want that's how i know it's the dns... after the restart my resolv.conf remained intact so nothing is messing with it... | 05:16 |
| mzz | poet: linux, mac, a bunch of bsds and others, apparently. That driver hasn't let me down yet. | 05:16 |
| Luke_ | lockd: no go with alsa and no pulseaudio | 05:16 |
| poet | mzz: yeah, that seems like the way to go | 05:17 |
| === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys | ||
| Huufarted | I changed my password in Linux, now pam_keyring won't take my password (new or old). Does this mean I'm going to have to recompile pam_keyring? | 05:17 |
| Titan8990 | areay, pastebin your resolv.conf | 05:17 |
| lockd | Luke_: was there a kernel update? | 05:17 |
| mzz | poet: it really boils down to it being easier to get all the others to handle ntfs than it is to get windows to handle something it doesn't handle natively | 05:17 |
| Luke_ | no | 05:17 |
| Luke_ | not that i noticed in correlation with the sound loss | 05:18 |
| poet | mzz: yeah, there are more people hacking to support ntfs on linux/bsd than there are people trying to support ext3 on windows :-p | 05:18 |
| lockd | Luke_: sometimes I could reboot and it would just work | 05:18 |
| mzz | poet: you can actually do ext3 on windows by installing a driver-style thing, but I haven't tried that, I think. | 05:18 |
| Luke_ | lockd: rebooted a ton already =/ | 05:18 |
| Luke_ | dude this sucks | 05:18 |
| Luke_ | no sound wtf | 05:18 |
| areay | Titan8990, i think i know where i went wrong and it's really stupid... i'll be back in like 2mins if i need more help; if not thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)] | 05:18 |
| Huufarted | question: how do I get pam_keyring to recognize a new Linux password once I change it? | 05:18 |
| Titan8990 | areay, you dont have to reboot | 05:19 |
| mzz | poet: but I wouldn't feel like installing that on other people's system every time I had to use the external drive there | 05:19 |
| sloopy | mzz, i have used the ext2 IFS driver in windows extensively works well with no probs | 05:19 |
| Titan8990 | areay, /etc/init.d/networking restart | 05:19 |
| mzz | sloopy: ah, thanks for the data point :) | 05:19 |
| areay | Titan8990, thanks bro | 05:19 |
| ammagendut | where is ubuntu hassle | 05:19 |
| Titan8990 | areay, gl | 05:19 |
| ammagendut | i want to ask about source.list | 05:19 |
| poet | mzz: yeah, definitly not | 05:19 |
| sloopy | mzz, np, i like it when something works in windows, gives me hope ;') | 05:19 |
| Titan8990 | !ask | ammagendut | 05:19 |
| ubottu | ammagendut: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 05:19 |
| lockd | Luke_: you could always try a different sound system, but the choices are real slim | 05:20 |
| mzz | Luke_: or you can try with no sound system (just dmix) | 05:20 |
| happyface_0 | Is there a way to adjust the volume when I use loopback/monitor for a line-in device? | 05:20 |
| lockd | Luke_: what sound card do you have? | 05:20 |
| Huufarted | Question for everybody: I changed my Linux login password. pam_keyring now insists my password is wrong. I have since changed my password back to the initial one, but how do I get pam_keyring to let me change my pw in the future? | 05:22 |
| ammagendut | how i can fix this ? 'E:Type '--2009-02-12' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mmu.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.' | 05:22 |
| Titan8990 | happyface_0, try: alsamixer from the terminal | 05:22 |
| trygg | what should i do if i want to download something and i get "repositories: deb http://whatever" ? | 05:23 |
| rww | ammagendut: copy your sources.list file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and give us a link to the pastebin page it creates | 05:23 |
| trygg | shall i input it somewhere or is it a command? | 05:23 |
| happyface_0 | Titan8990: adjusting the volume of anything there doesn't affect the volume of the loopback | 05:23 |
| trygg | i get/it says | 05:23 |
| rww | trygg: System> Administration > Software Sources > Third-Party Software > Add, paste it in. | 05:23 |
| trygg | ah | 05:23 |
| Titan8990 | trygg, echo 'deb http://whatever NAME' >> /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:24 |

| lockd | Luke_: that's supposedly well supported with oss, unfortunately you'd have to build it from sources just to test | 05:31 |

| ubottu | Digital7: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| Titan8990 | areay, pastebin it | 05:33 |
| Titan8990 | Jaan|Perfect, you don't have to worry about that because they are kernel modules and updated with the update manager | 05:34 |
| Titan8990 | Jaan|Perfect, including your restricted drivers | 05:34 |

| racecar56 | help i wanted to dual boot ubuntu and winxp but my evil xp killed my grub D= and i thought there was a link in the startup message | 05:36 |
| Luke_ | lockd: i doubt that i need all new softare to fix this. some setting is wrong. my sound has worked for years with alsa and then wrapped with pulseaudio | 05:37 |

| Titan8990 | Digital7, did you reinstall the alsa drivers? | 05:37 |
| areay | Titan8990, http://paste.ubuntu.com/117139/ | 05:37 |
| Digital7 | Titan8990: to the best of my knowledge, yes..at least two packages relating to alsa | 05:37 |
| Titan8990 | areay, try bring eth0 up with: sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 05:38 |
| Titan8990 | areay, and then: dig google.com | 05:38 |
| Titan8990 | Digital7, was one of them kernel specific? using `uname -r` | 05:38 |
| Digital7 | Titan8990: to be specific, i actually reinstalled alsa-base and alsa-utils, though i did not do alsa-drivers | 05:38 |
| ammagendut_ | hi | 05:39 |
| ammagendut_ | help me | 05:39 |
| Digital7 | Titan8990: "sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` libasound2" | 05:39 |
| areay | Titan8990, ok brb | 05:39 |
| Titan8990 | Digital7, that is it | 05:39 |
| Digital7 | Titan8990: that command was not fruitful in this case | 05:39 |
| Digital7 | Titan8990: or series of packages, rather | 05:39 |
| Titan8990 | Digital7, is it detected in the volume manager? | 05:40 |
| Digital7 | Titan8990: alsamixer actually sees PulseAudio as the 'card' | 05:41 |
| ammagendut_ | i want to replace the modified source list to the original one | 05:41 |
| Digital7 | Titan8990: i didn't take notice of what was detected prior to the upgarde | 05:41 |
| Titan8990 | Digital7, ehh, I don't have any experience with pulseaudio | 05:41 |
| Logikos | mib_12n8ik8s: i dont know if you were the one helping me before or not with the initramfs issue but the chkdsk /r apears to have worked, so thanks | 05:41 |
| areay | Titan8990, http://paste.ubuntu.com/117140/ that dig thing worked, but i couldn't ping google.com | 05:41 |
| lockd | Luke_: I have no idea what said option is, I just know a lot have trouble with it | 05:41 |
| Digital7 | Titan8990: if i'm not mistaken, it should say my audio card here instead? | 05:42 |
| Digital7 | Titan8990: i don't recall a generic 'pulseaudio' being listed in alsamixer before, though i could be mistaken | 05:42 |
| rww | ammagendut_: Just delete everything in the file, then go to System > Administration > Software Sources and add back the repositories and updates you want. | 05:43 |
| lockd | Digital7: if pulseaudio is running it will | 05:43 |
| J-_ | I've installed PulseAudio in Hardy, was wonder if it's still possible to use ALSA still like the default installation? | 05:43 |
| ammagendut_ | the exact command is sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list right? | 05:44 |
| rww | ammagendut_: gksudo, not sudo. Apart from that, yes | 05:44 |
| areay | Titan8990, in firefox i'm just getting connection refused, if that's any help | 05:44 |
| lockd | J-_: yeah. lots are having trouble with that now | 05:45 |
| ammagendut_ | ok i got the list | 05:45 |
| Titan8990 | areay, sudo apt-get remove --purge firestarter | 05:45 |

| racecar56 | hey Titan8990 thanks for your help i was wondering where that link was hiding at | 05:45 |

| Overand | this is not a grub problem, this is a matter of the BIOS not even getting to grub | 05:50 |
| piti_ | when I disconnect on drive it just refuse to boot from another one | 05:50 |
| areay | Titan8990, http://paste.ubuntu.com/117143/ | 05:51 |
| Titan8990 | genii, and is that all raid5 or just one type (eg - soft fake discrete) | 05:51 |
| mzz | racecar56: fwiw: dualboot with windows here, but recently switched to virtualbox for everything needing windows that isn't a game (which wasn't much to begin with) | 05:51 |
| genii | Overand: raid1 shuld be ok if you built initramfs with raid support for your running kernel | 05:51 |
| piti_ | which defeat the purpose of having raid1 -_-" | 05:51 |
| ammagendut_ | rww: wow.. it fix now | 05:51 |
| Overand | genii: this is a live, operational system, or *was* - on a previous motherboard. | 05:51 |
| Overand | It's the same SATA card, etc etc. So, the question I asked was accurate. | 05:51 |
| Titan8990 | areay, you have to bring up eth0 first.... also, bring down all interfaces that are not eth0 or l0 | 05:51 |
| genii | Titan8990: softraid only | 05:51 |
| Titan8990 | genii, thanks for the info | 05:52 |
| Logikos | i do this all the time in windows, but not sure how to do it with ubuntu .. if i want to blow it away and start over, but i want to backup specific program settings in windows i just copy the application data directory items i want to keep before i blow it away ... it apears as though ubuntu uses /home/username for this ... then in theory if i copy over the .directory's i want such as .mozilla-thunderbird .mozilla .eclipse etc | 05:52 |
| ashlessburn | raid 5 is the proper set up if u choose 0-1 u are asking for trouble | 05:52 |
| ashlessburn | what derver type are u running | 05:52 |
| areay | Titan8990, with sudo ifconfig eth0 up? | 05:52 |
| mzz | lockd: yes | 05:52 |
| mzz | err | 05:52 |
| Titan8990 | areay, yes | 05:52 |
| mzz | Logikos: yes | 05:52 |
| genii | Overand: The drives in the array are at same exact designations as in previous box ? sda=sda in new box, etc? | 05:52 |
| areay | Titan8990, aiight brb | 05:52 |
| Overand | genii: yes, in theory, but GRUB isn't even booting | 05:53 |
| Overand | The system is hanging, basically no-boot-device. I'm going to put a *fifth* - IDE - drive in | 05:53 |
| Overand | which sucks, because that will probably totally throw off all the drive letters | 05:53 |
| Overand | drive letters? wow, DOS | 05:53 |
| lockd | well there are still letters | 05:53 |
| mzz | Logikos: (regular users can only write in their homedir and a handful other places like /tmp, so the vast majority of interesting settings *has* to be where you think they are) | 05:53 |
| Overand | lockd: aye | 05:53 |
| Overand | still | 05:53 |
| Overand | device names, not 'drive letters' | 05:54 |
| genii | Overand: Maybe you have a cd in one box and not in the other (or some other device on sata/ide which is not a hd) | 05:54 |
| carpii | i want to run lighttpd but im having problems with permissions. It seems lighty wants to run as www-data, so it can write to /var/log/lighttpd, but then it cant read my php scripts from /home/carpii/web -- how to fix this please? | 05:54 |
| Logikos | mzz: thanks | 05:54 |
| Overand | genii: you're not understanding the problem | 05:54 |
| Overand | genii: the problem is not drive-order-issues | 05:54 |
| Overand | the probelm is that GRUB will not even come up | 05:54 |
| lockd | DOS uses letters to refer to partitions anyway | 05:54 |
| areay | Titan8990, http://paste.ubuntu.com/117144/ | 05:54 |
| genii | Overand: If not reaching grub, then the drive with mbr is not being seen as primary to boot from | 05:54 |
| Overand | I'm not having trouble with grub, i'm having trouble with bios even trying to boot from the addin card PERIOD | 05:54 |
| Overand | yes | 05:54 |
| Overand | I know. Hence my question - if I put in an extra drive on the onbaord IDE controller | 05:54 |
| Overand | Can I get *grub* - configured on that drive - to load the OS from the other drives? | 05:55 |
| genii | Overand: Yes | 05:55 |
| carpii | Titan, my drive mounting problems all became apparent a whole ago. Drive was fried :/ | 05:55 |
| Overand | Or does grub require BIOS access to the devices | 05:55 |
| mzz | Overand: probably. The bios has to be able to access the drive. | 05:55 |
| Titan8990 | areay, try: sudo ifconfig eth0 up && sudo ifconfig pan0 down | 05:55 |
| lockd | carpii: similar thing happened here but not quite fried. shattered, completely | 05:56 |
| Overand | Hm. | 05:56 |
| areay | Titan8990, ok brb | 05:56 |
| Overand | Maybe I'll just install the OS on the extra drive | 05:56 |
| Overand | blleh | 05:56 |
| mzz | Overand: however if you can install grub there you can almost certainly put all of /boot/ there. As long as grub can see your kernel and initramfs the os will boot. | 05:56 |
| lockd | carpii: I don't think the 100 degree Celsius graphics card helped (but not sure if it did much to cause it) | 05:56 |
| carpii | hehe, im hoping my server doesnt have anything more than an old Cirrus Logic EGA | 05:57 |
| Overand | mzz: interesting idea, moving /boot to it | 05:57 |
| Overand | hmmm | 05:57 |
| hacker_kid | how can i find my kernel version? | 05:57 |
| trygg | what is the best dock program? | 05:57 |
| carpii | more /proc/version | 05:57 |
| genii | hacker_kid: uname -r | 05:57 |
| lockd | trygg: avant-window-navigator, if you have Compiz | 05:57 |
| mzz | Overand: that's what I'd do if the root filesystem is on anything unusual (a device the bios doesn't like or a raid/lvm/whatever grub can't handle) | 05:57 |
| hacker_kid | genii, ty | 05:58 |
| trygg | lockd: will try | 05:58 |
| KyleK | is there a virus scanner i can scan a windows drive from ubuntu? | 05:58 |
| lockd | is there an option for displaying running apps on the desktop in gnome-desktop? | 05:58 |
| mzz | KyleK: clamav possibly | 05:58 |
| genii | hacker_kid: np. carpii's method also works | 05:58 |
| areay | Titan8990, still no luck | 05:58 |
| rww | KyleK: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus . I'd go with ClamAV. | 05:58 |
| Titan8990 | areay, I'm stumped, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with your config, if no one else here has a suggestion, i would recommend to forums | 05:59 |
| linxuz3r | can you link themes in gnome so that the themes directory does not reside in your home folder? | 05:59 |
| ashlessburn | overland maybe u should check your priv msgs | 05:59 |

| linxuz3r | please | 06:00 |
| linxuz3r | i dont wanna logout | 06:00 |
| carpii | linxuz, have a look in /usr/share maybe they can go in a directory there too | 06:00 |

| mzz | Helen_McCall: I don't know offhand how new that card is, but I recommend you don't blindly install the binary drivers. The open ones may work just fine. | 06:03 |

| areay | sloopy, i tried it without dns-nameservers too | 06:04 |
| Helen_McCall | how do i install open drivers? | 06:04 |
| areay | sloopy, i've also added the dns info to resolv.conf | 06:04 |
| mzz | Helen_McCall: you should already have those installed. What are you trying to do/fix? | 06:04 |
| sloopy | 254 is your gateway/router? | 06:04 |
| tritium | areay: dns-nameservers isn't a valid option. nameserver info belongs in /etc/resolv.conf | 06:04 |
| Helen_McCall | The open drivers do not run compiz? | 06:04 |

| areay | tritium, i've tried it without that too... and i put the info in /etc/resolv.conf | 06:05 |
| Titan8990 | Helen_McCall, however, no need to uninstall them becuase the driver that is loaded is defined in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:05 |
| xMopx | Is anyone familiar with Deadmini? The root password it claims is wrong ¬.¬ | 06:05 |
| tritium | areay: please pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf | 06:05 |
| lockd | Helen_McCall: they probably will, but might take a decade to render a frame | 06:06 |
| Gnea | Helen_McCall: it depends on how your card is supported. that URL that I had ubottu give you should shed some light on the issue | 06:06 |

| mzz | Helen_McCall: fglrx (the binary drivers you were linked to) actually don't support that card, I'm pretty sure | 06:06 |
| xMopx | Ah, sorry. | 06:07 |
| Gnea | mzz: have you checked that? | 06:07 |
| mzz | Helen_McCall: afaik compiz should run, but it may not perform acceptably and some plugins won't work. | 06:07 |

| Gnea | mzz: well, you've introduced some rather disturbing doubt... we don't much appreciate that around here, you need to be sure or don't bother | 06:09 |
| mzz | Gnea: that basically means "r300", the mobility 9000 seems to be r200-based, so it won't work. | 06:09 |

| mzz | Gnea: yes | 06:10 |

| drash | Helen_McCall: websearch for compiz-check, download & run it, it will try to help debugging your issue | 06:11 |

| mzz | Gnea: yep, no 9000 mentioned in the relnotes linked from http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html (older fglrx will support that card, but won't work with current versions of the Xorg server) | 06:12 |
| Gnea | mzz: I'm pretty sure that it's supported... http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/xorg-driver-fglrx | 06:12 |
| sloopy | areay, is there a specific reason you dont want dhcp? | 06:12 |
| Gnea | mzz: the ATI site doesn't count, just like the nvidia.com driver isn't supported here. | 06:13 |
| * mzz blinks | 06:13 | |
| Titan8990 | sloopy, dhcp is for nubs? | 06:13 |
| Gnea | yes. | 06:13 |
| mzz | Gnea: that doesn't make any sense, unless that's a pretty old version of the binary driver. I can look up at what point support for pre-r300 card was dropped but it'll take me a minute. | 06:13 |
| Gnea | This version of the ATI driver officially supports: MOBILITY RADEON 9000, 9200, 9600, 9800, X700 | 06:13 |
| sloopy | Titan8990, guess i have been a noob for 15 years then... | 06:13 |

| Titan8990 | sloopy, that works too, but I don't like the 8 seconds dhcp adds to my what is now a 20sec boot time :) | 06:15 |
| mzz | Gnea: let me dig up ati's notes for that version of fglrx though. | 06:15 |
| sloopy | Titan8990, if it takes 8 secs then something is config'd wrong... | 06:15 |

| rww | ramu: Run "apt-cache policy belocs-locales-bin" and see if it says "Installed: (none)" or "Installed: version". That'll tell you whether it's installed. | 06:18 |
| * mzz guesses he should go and file a bug about that description being stale | 06:18 | |
| Gnea | mzz: if she has a dell, then the chance that it's supported would be even greater. | 06:18 |
| Gnea | mzz: file the bug when you have some proof. | 06:18 |
| areay | sloopy, i used to do that because i was using a 3g connection... that was troublesome to say the least | 06:18 |
| * mzz gives up on this conversation | 06:18 | |
| Gnea | good idea. | 06:19 |
| ramu | rww, ok | 06:19 |
| ramu | rww, not installed | 06:19 |
| sloopy | areay, 3g? | 06:19 |
| rww | ramu: there's your problem. Try "sudo apt-get install belocs-locales-bin" and see if it installs okay. | 06:19 |
| mzz | Gnea: I maintained the packaging of this driver for a competing distro for a while. I cannot prove this because I don't have the affected hardware, but some of the users of that distro did, and I was around at the time support was dropped. I think I do know what I'm talking about here, unless ati silently re-added support. | 06:19 |
| j03lar50n | when installing Ubuntu Server - if i don't choose a desktop, i will only have a terminal? | 06:19 |
| rww | ramu: If not, we'll have to think of something cleverer. | 06:19 |
| rww | j03lar50n: correct | 06:20 |
| j03lar50n | is Kubuntu most popular? | 06:20 |
| rww | j03lar50n: GNOME/Ubuntu is more popular | 06:20 |
| Gnea | mzz: I can appreciate that, but perhaps you can appreciate the fact that different distribution maintainers roll their diffs differently. | 06:20 |
| mzz | Gnea: this is a binary blob. There is nothing to diff. | 06:20 |
| ramu | rww, what to do | 06:20 |
| j03lar50n | I don't have that choice at in my setup | 06:21 |
| rww | Gnea, mzz: Would you mind taking this to PM or something? | 06:21 |
| rww | ramu: Try "sudo apt-get install belocs-locales-bin" and see if it installs okay. | 06:21 |
| areay | sloopy, yeah a vodafone 3g card... i used to share it over eth0... but every dns lookup would take 10 seconds because it would look at eth0 first, but my internet connection was ppp0... i spent hours in here trying to solve the problem but i ended up getting dsl before i fixed the 3g | 06:21 |
| Gnea | mzz: shall we? | 06:21 |
| mzz | Gnea: well, that's actually an oversimplification, but there's no way to patch in mobility 9000 support if ati dropped it (you'd have to reverse-engineer the blob) | 06:21 |
| mzz | Gnea: nah, I'm off. | 06:21 |
| Gnea | mzz: okay. | 06:21 |
| areay | sloopy, networking is my nemesis | 06:21 |
| areay | sloopy, i hate it with a passion | 06:21 |
| lstarnes | /away sleep? | 06:22 |
| sloopy | areay, you probly had a gateway set on eth0 | 06:22 |
| lstarnes | oops. | 06:22 |
| Gnea | !away | lstarnes | 06:22 |
| ubottu | lstarnes: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 06:22 |
| areay | sloopy, yeah... i always miss something | 06:22 |
| mzz | Gnea: one last thing: where's that changelog you pasted from? | 06:22 |
| ramu | k | 06:22 |
| sloopy | areay, i feel your pain, but with wireless... i am very familiar with ip4 networking, but i always have issues with wireless | 06:22 |
| rww | mzz: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/restricted/f/fglrx-installer/fglrx-installer_8.543-0ubuntu4/changelog | 06:22 |
| Gnea | mzz: it's linked directly on the page: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/xorg-driver-fglrx | 06:22 |
| mzz | rww: thanks | 06:22 |
| mzz | Gnea: duh, should've looked there. Sorry, really gone now. | 06:23 |
| Gnea | mzz: np, I hope we can find out for sure later :) | 06:23 |
| sloopy | areay, every room in my house is wired with 100T wiring, just so i dont have to deal with wireless... but mrs is complaining she wants wireless... | 06:23 |
| areay | sloopy, i'd rather have the ethernet personally... wireless is too slow... 54mbit's a joke you're lucky to get 2 | 06:24 |
| areay | sloopy, 20* | 06:25 |
| === dbrinegar-work is now known as dbrinegar | ||
| Gnea | sloopy: I suggest netgear: http://www.netgear.com/Products/APsWirelessControllers/AccessPoints/WN802Tv2.aspx very linux-friendly. | 06:25 |
| Gnea | areay: right, why hvae 54 when you can have 108? ;) | 06:25 |
| sloopy | areay, well she has wires any place she normally goes except back porch, so when she wants wireless speed isnt a big issue | 06:26 |

| mak_ | ANy body want's the Wimax 802.16e Products out for sale | 06:27 |
| sloopy | Gnea, why add more stuff, when i have a machine already doing file serving game serving and doing a couple other menial tasks... | 06:27 |
| mak_ | ? | 06:27 |
| areay | sloopy, yeah it's always good to have as a backup... i'm in a rented property so paying to get my home wired would be a bit of a waste... i just keep my computers and printers in my office and my ps3/laptop/phone all connect thru wireless... | 06:27 |
| Gnea | sloopy: I'm not the one to ask :) | 06:27 |
| nanotube | so, what's the best cross-platform open source video-chat app? | 06:27 |
| areay | sloopy, i dunno wtf i'm gonna do about this interfaces problem... | 06:27 |
| Gnea | !best | nanotube | 06:28 |
| ubottu | nanotube: 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. | 06:28 |
| ashlessburn | omg | 06:28 |
| sloopy | areay, run a main wire along the floor board cat6 goes under floor molding nicely | 06:28 |
| nanotube | Gnea: fine, what /good/ cross platform open source video chat apps are there? | 06:29 |
| nanotube | Gnea: ones you might personally recommend? | 06:29 |
| twain | hi | 06:29 |
| Gnea | nanotube: I think the only one that actually *works* would have to be gnomemeeting, but I understand that's been replaced with Ekiga... still no video chat with an IM client yet, though | 06:29 |
| twain | i need your help | 06:29 |
| twain | how can i install opengl program to run on game? | 06:29 |
| Gnea | game? | 06:29 |
| nanotube | Gnea: hm, ekiga it is, then. :) | 06:29 |
| Gnea | nanotube: good luck :) | 06:30 |
| nanotube | Gnea: thanks :) | 06:30 |
| twain | 3d need support for game from opengl | 06:30 |
| mak_ | Is any Body works for Core Development on Wimax Products,,,like on Base Station Syncronization and all,,, in C++ and Linux ? | 06:30 |
| Gnea | twain: no sure I understand... let's try this again: you want opengl support for a 3d game you want to install? | 06:30 |
| twain | yes that right gnea | 06:30 |
| Gnea | and you have what video card? | 06:31 |
| twain | ATI rad 9600 | 06:31 |
| Gnea | twain: ah, then you want the fglrx driver from the repository | 06:31 |
| Gnea | !ati | twain | 06:32 |
| linxuz3r | how do you setup a printer in ubuntu | 06:32 |
| ubottu | twain: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 06:32 |
| Gnea | !printer | linxuz3r | 06:32 |
| ubottu | linxuz3r: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 06:32 |
| trygg | how did you search for something effectively? | 06:32 |
| Gnea | as opposed to ineffectively? | 06:32 |
| rdw200169 | trygg, on your computer or on the internet? | 06:33 |
| meshuggah | ? | 06:33 |
| trygg | heh, on the computer | 06:33 |
| twain | ok thaanks let me read info.. brb ok? | 06:34 |
| Gnea | trygg: locate something | 06:34 |
| rdw200169 | trygg, on ubuntu, they use tracker for that | 06:34 |
| Gnea | trygg: like this: locate lspci | 06:34 |
| rdw200169 | Gnea, yeah, locate works too, but you have to download it, and it doesn't search *inside* files, like tracker does | 06:34 |
| trygg | super, thanks | 06:34 |
| hacker_kid | im trying to install python 2.6 on ubuntu 8.04 and getting "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" what could cause this | 06:34 |
| Gnea | rdw200169: that's what grep is for | 06:34 |
| rdw200169 | trygg, you should have a little magnifying glass on your taskbar, that's tracker | 06:35 |
| rww | hacker_kid: sudo apt-get install build-essential will fix it | 06:35 |
| mzz | rww++ | 06:35 |
| rdw200169 | Gnea, not helpful when it's a non-text file | 06:35 |
| mzz | that was a much better response than the infodump I was typing :) | 06:35 |
| Gnea | rdw200169: strings | 06:35 |
| hacker_kid | rww, haha. i forgot this is a fresh install without the build-essential packages | 06:35 |
| fermuch | hi | 06:36 |
| fermuch | hola | 06:36 |
| fermuch | anybody have a problem? | 06:36 |
| rdw200169 | Gnea, yeah, but maybe everyone doesn't want to learn how to 'locate * | grep' (etc...) | 06:37 |
| testlin | Greetings all. Is there any way to get the bash_history in realtime? If I type a command in my console, i need it to be written to .bash_history in realtime. Not after logging out. I found that the history is lost if the console is being closed or not properly loged out. I have put an append attribute to .bash_history, but if the history is being cleared, it wont be written to the file. | 06:37 |
| Gnea | rdw200169: many people do, so we try to keep available as many possible solutions | 06:37 |
| mzz | rdw200169: imho the main selling point of something like tracker is that it should be faster than grep unless you already have a good idea of what files to grep | 06:38 |
| Gnea | I agree | 06:38 |
| adante | how do i use runas? i try runas user group command and it segfaults? | 06:38 |
| mzz | disadvantages are either system load to keep the database updated or a stale db | 06:38 |
| adante | also tried runas user group 0022 command and it segfaults | 06:38 |
| ncfi1013_ | what does it mean when i get an "assertion failed" dialog box when i try to go to two different websites? | 06:38 |
| adante | is runas something that is actually used or should i just sudo nowadays? | 06:39 |
| rdw200169 | not to mention that one is a terminal app, and the other is a gtk app | 06:39 |
| * Gnea doesn't even have a runas command, nor sees it in the repo | 06:39 | |
| adante | Gnea: hm strange, for me it's part of noshell package | 06:39 |
| Gnea | adante: ah ok, i see that | 06:39 |
| mzz | rdw200169: there are gui apps that do the same thing as or are a frontend for find/grep. Tracker might have commandline tools, not sure. | 06:40 |
| Gnea | adante: runas is kind of opposite of sudo | 06:40 |
| twain | i am back little confused do i have do termind for driver? | 06:40 |
| adante | Gnea: so it's sudont? | 06:40 |
| Gnea | adante: sec... | 06:41 |
| rdw200169 | mzz, sure, but is it not safe to assume that when someone asks a question in here, they're assuming they want their question answered *without* having to install any more software? | 06:41 |
| Gnea | adante: sudo is for running a command, from a regular user account, as root. runas is for running a command, from a root account, as a regular user. | 06:41 |
| mzz | rdw200169: true. I forgot if such a tool is installed by default or not. | 06:41 |
| mzz | Gnea: sudo can be used for the latter too, right? | 06:42 |
| rdw200169 | mzz, that's why i mentioned tracker, it's default, and even puts it's little magnifying glass on the gnome taskbar/menubar whatzit so you can easily 'search' | 06:42 |
| mzz | (sudo -u username) | 06:42 |
| adante | Gnea: hm but sudo -u | 06:42 |
| adante | yeah what mzz said | 06:42 |
| adante | anyway my question is not what do they do | 06:42 |
| adante | but why is runas segfaulting | 06:42 |
| adante | when i issue it with what seems to be syntactically valid arguments | 06:43 |
| Gnea | adante: runas — program to run daemons as non priviledge users | 06:43 |
| Gnea | adante: it's not for running regular commands, it's for looped programs that stay running | 06:44 |
| Gnea | adante: so, yes, sudo -u would be the solution | 06:44 |
| twain | i did download driver fro linux from ati hope it install self? | 06:44 |
| adante | hm, but the program i am running is a daemon that stays running | 06:44 |
| Gnea | adante: which one? | 06:45 |
| adante | anyway nm i will just run with sudo -u user cmd 2>&1 > /dev/null & i guess | 06:45 |
| adante | Gnea: redmine | 06:45 |
| tritium | twain: ubunth has the ati drivers packaged already. No need to down load from ati (in fact, can lead to more trouble) | 06:46 |
| Gnea | twain: shouldn't have to download from ati.com, but from the ubuntu repository - xorg-driver-fglrx is what you need | 06:46 |
| twain | ok give me link where i can download gnea | 06:46 |
| Gnea | twain: no need, just type this in a terminal: sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx | 06:47 |
| cakey | dsfargeg | 06:47 |
| mgmuscari | looks like i dropped in at the right moment - people discussing ati drivers | 06:47 |
| Gnea | twain: when you reconfigure your Xserver, just tell it to use FGLRX from the list | 06:48 |
| twain | ok i never done terminal sorry i will do copy what y say k? | 06:48 |
| mgmuscari | does anybody here have any info that's newer than november on dri2 support? | 06:48 |
| Gnea | mgmuscari: yes, it's become a rather popular subject this evening :) | 06:48 |
| mgmuscari | gnea: i'm getting frustrated with flickering, as i imagine a lot of people are ;) | 06:48 |

| Gnea | bobbyyu: of course | 06:50 |
| trent1 | hi, i have been here a couple times and found that you guys are really helpful, and was wondering if you could help me with one more problem. i just bought a lightscribe capable dvd/cd burner and am looking for a label maker | 06:50 |
| tritium | !mp3 | bobbyyu | 06:50 |
| ubottu | bobbyyu: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 06:50 |
| mgmuscari | gnea: indeed. i'm on a thinkpad w500. any opengl or windowed video flickers when i'm using compiz fusion. this seems to be a very, very common problem, since there aren't any ati drivers right now with dri2 support | 06:50 |
| trent1 | i have the "basic" one i'm looking for one that can do greyscale pictures | 06:50 |
| Gnea | mgmuscari: ouch... I'm not sure... perhaps ubuntuforums.org has some discussion | 06:50 |
| mgmuscari | gnea: but i haven't heard anything since november regarding this support. it seems like people just stopped talking about it. | 06:50 |
| mzz | mgmuscari: I'm optimistic and assuming they stopped talking because they're coding | 06:51 |
| mzz | mgmuscari: I have absolutely no evidence for this though. I just like being optimistic :) | 06:51 |

| mzz | mgmuscari: it works quite nicely as long as I don't try to do anything 3d-ish while compiz is compositing. google earth runs ok, compiz runs ok (including textured xv), just both at the same time breaks. | 07:14 |
| vostibackle | I have some kind of keyboard shortcut like command+V that keeps making my terminals explode and go off the screen so I can't resize them | 07:14 |
| drash | Gnea: no problem, stumbled onto that page only yesterday (and not won one chess game since) | 07:14 |
| Flannel | mak_: #ubuntu+1 is the place to ask, not here. This channel is for support of full fledged releases | 07:14 |
| vostibackle | what would cause that? | 07:14 |
| mattycoze | bah has anyone got a frontend to work with Octave? | 07:14 |
| mgmuscari | mzz: xscreensaver doesn't like to work correctly with compiz | 07:14 |
| mzz | mgmuscari: yeah, same root issue probably, google earth was just the first 3d app I actually use that came to mind | 07:15 |
| twain | Drash! it SOLVE!!! thanks so much also Gnea and MZZ too! | 07:15 |
| pogztimz | can some1 pls help me? my computer has a garbled display. i am using VIA Chrome9 GC IGP. | 07:15 |
| mzz | must've missed (py)gtkglext then | 07:15 |
| mak_ | <FLannel>,,,Is i made a mistake by upgrading ubuntu-8.10 to 9.04 Jaunty release package,,, Because it's still in Development Branch ? | 07:15 |
| rww | mak_: Yes. | 07:16 |
| * mzz blinks | 07:16 | |
| mgmuscari | mzz: from what i understand, since compiz is opengl any time another process tries to write to the buffer they collide and cause the flickering; somehow lack of dri2 disables a back buffer somewhere along the way... | 07:16 |
| mzz | I thought that upgrade came with sufficiently scary warnings? | 07:16 |
| mak_ | <rww>,,,Ohhh it sucks | 07:16 |
| rww | mzz: apparently not | 07:16 |
| twain | i curious what kind OS linuix y like better? | 07:17 |
| mzz | rww: I'm pretty sure the *install* came with scary warnings, I don't think I've tried the dist-upgrade though... | 07:17 |
| vostibackle | and like if I hit alt+fn+F6 it types out ";3~" wtf? | 07:17 |
| rww | mak_: You shouldn't be running Jaunty unless you don't mind huge amounts of breakage and having to fix it yourself. It's not supposed to be used by non-developers, and you're expected to mostly support yourself, hence #ubuntu+1 being somewhat barren. | 07:17 |
| mgmuscari | blah, i just noticed that my system is reporting 3GiB ram when i definitely have (or at least ordered) 4GiB in this thing | 07:17 |
| genii | mgmuscari: Likely 32bit kernel | 07:17 |
| MoLoot | twain, ubuntu :) | 07:18 |
| rww | mgmuscari: If you're using a 32-bit version of Ubuntu, it can only address up to 3.something GB of RAM. | 07:18 |
| d-b | hi there i can't get some software from multiverse my sources.lst is | 07:18 |
| d-b | http://pastebin.com/d6783fe8e | 07:18 |
| d-b | so for example paxtest isn't installable / found | 07:18 |
| mgmuscari | rww: that would do it. was thinking 2^32, but interesting. don't know enough details about the linux kernel | 07:18 |
| scrolls2 | im thankful for WINE | 07:18 |
| scrolls2 | ll | 07:18 |

| nanotube | ekiga fails to detect my webcam (says no device found), even though v4l-info shows that it's there, and the webcam works with cheese without any problem. any way to 'force' ekiga to recognize the cam? | 07:18 |
| nanotube | my webcam is the ps2 eyetoy, btw. | 07:19 |
| rww | d-b: did you run "sudo apt-get update" after editing your sources.list to add multiverse? | 07:19 |
| d-b | rww: yes. | 07:19 |
| d-b | of course | 07:19 |
| pogztimz | i want to install ubuntu 8.04 on my computer. but i have a problem with display, its garbled. i am using VIA Chrom9 HC IGP on my display | 07:19 |
| pogztimz | can soem1 pls help me? | 07:20 |
| rww | d-b: you'd be surprised at how many people don't -_- | 07:20 |
| mgmuscari | hmmm, i see why it's addressing 3GiB main mem | 07:20 |
| mgmuscari | i've got 1GiB vram | 07:20 |
| sloopy | sweet looks like my ap is working | 07:20 |
| * mzz blinks | 07:20 | |
| mgmuscari | i didn't think about the fact that addressable memory includes memory-mapped devices | 07:20 |
| mzz | mgmuscari: what display resolution are you running? :P | 07:20 |
| mgmuscari | mzz: 1920x1200 | 07:21 |
| mzz | eh, nvm | 07:21 |
| vostibackle | Is there some weird default in the ubuntu keyboard shortcuts for Super L to make a window really huge? | 07:21 |
| mgmuscari | mzz: native resolution of the TFT panel on this laptop | 07:21 |
| rww | d-b: anyway. paxtest is in universe. Not sure why you aren't able to install it, though, since you seem to have a universe repository listed there | 07:21 |
| d-b | i found my problem its only released for i386 | 07:21 |
| vostibackle | I think I cleared it by setting another thing to Super L and then clearing that, but I'm curious what the heck that's useful for | 07:21 |
| mattycoze | does anyone have an idea where i might be able to find an old version of Octave (3.0.0)? | 07:22 |
| constantine_ | Hi I accidentally deleted my panel at the bottom where the minimized windows *usually* go, how do I get those back? | 07:22 |
| constantine_ | I got the panel itself back, also | 07:23 |
| twain | mzz y know desktop wallpaper become cube with move other desktop side? | 07:23 |
| baddog | right click on the panel, and click 'Add to Panel...' | 07:23 |
| baddog | then add 'Window List' | 07:23 |
| mzz | twain: that sentence didn't parse (also I'm about to drop off irc) | 07:23 |
| constantine_ | baddog: thanks | 07:24 |
| baddog | np | 07:24 |
| mgmuscari | twain: sounds like you're talking about compiz fusion? | 07:24 |
| Flannel | mak_: It's certainly not something we recommend people do on production machines, yes. | 07:24 |
| twain | ok what mean compiz fusion? sorry my english bad.. | 07:24 |
| mgmuscari | it's a window manager | 07:25 |
| mgmuscari | if you want to have the spinning cube and such you need to install it | 07:25 |
| twain | mgmuscari yes that one! where can i find install? | 07:25 |
| mgmuscari | twain: are you using gnome or kde? | 07:25 |
| twain | i think i use kde on ubuntu | 07:26 |
| mgmuscari | twain: also, what make is your graphics card? | 07:26 |
| mgmuscari | twain: ati/nvidia? | 07:26 |
| twain | it ATI rad. 9600 | 07:26 |
| nanotube | ekiga fails to detect my webcam (says no device found), even though v4l-info shows that it's there, and the webcam works with cheese without any problem. any way to 'force' ekiga to recognize the cam (ps2 eyetoy, in case it matters) | 07:26 |
| mgmuscari | twain: if you install compiz fusion, you will have flickering problems with 3d programs and video | 07:26 |
| samurai_ | join #c | 07:27 |
| baddog | heh | 07:27 |
| mgmuscari | twain: i have been looking for a solution for this problem for a while and as of now there is no driver fix for it | 07:27 |
| trygg | theres no trouble with mounting a hdd within your homefolder is there? | 07:27 |
| chetnick | hi, i am have vmware workstation on ubuntu. Very often i cannot use sound on my guest (windows) operating system, i get an error "device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy". How can i see what application on my host operating system is using /dev/dsp, and how can i disable application from using it? Any help would be appreciated. | 07:27 |
| twain | so i will need other better video card? i have other ATI 9800? | 07:27 |
| * baddog just uses fusion-icon to make it easy to turn compiz on and off | 07:27 | |
| mgmuscari | twain: ati drivers currently do not support a technology called dri2, which is required for compiz fusion to play nicely with other opengl applications | 07:28 |
| mgmuscari | baddog: good idea, thanks for the tip... does it toggle between metacity e.g. and compiz? | 07:28 |
| baddog | yup | 07:28 |
| baddog | and any other WM you care to use :D | 07:28 |
| twain | ok then what kind video i need? | 07:28 |
| mgmuscari | baddog: nice... where can i find it? | 07:28 |

| mak_ | ? | 07:29 |
| Gnea | twain: nvidia is pretty nice | 07:29 |
| mgmuscari | twain: you can try it out, it'll work with ati. you'll just see flickering with certain apps | 07:29 |
| baddog | apt-get install fusion-icon | 07:29 |
| Gnea | twain: geforce 8600 would do | 07:29 |
| mgmuscari | baddog: thx :D | 07:29 |
| baddog | np | 07:29 |
| homeskill | what does 'LTS' mean? | 07:29 |
| twain | ok i have geforce 8200 coming | 07:29 |
| Gnea | !LTS | 07:29 |
| mgmuscari | twain: to install compiz fusion for kde, run the following | 07:29 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 07:29 |

| nanotube | homeskill: long term support | 07:29 |
| mgmuscari | homeskill: long term support | 07:29 |
| Gnea | twain: oh that will do great | 07:29 |
| piti_ | mak_: thaht's because in you config in your server push the route to 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 to client | 07:29 |
| homeskill | thkx | 07:29 |
| piti_ | mak_: and you client already in the 192.168.1.0/255.255.0.0 | 07:30 |
| twain | yes gnea =) | 07:30 |
| mak_ | <piti>,,, How can i do that ,,,,And when i run my openvpn script,,, I loose my internet connectivity | 07:30 |
| mak_ | plz help me to reolve | 07:30 |
| nanotube | alap: stick your .ko into /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/extra/ (use appropriate kernel version), then run "sudo depmod -a", then you can "modprobe" it. | 07:30 |
| piti_ | mak_: or in a more simple word-> server try to get the client to route 192.168.xxx.yyy while the client already know how to route 192.168.1.xxx | 07:30 |
| trygg | or do it have to be in /mnt/? | 07:31 |
| piti_ | mak_: do you have access to openvpn server? | 07:31 |
| mak_ | yes i have,,, | 07:31 |
| twain | appliction-acc- only i have kde group wizrd | 07:31 |
| piti_ | mak_: and which server on server side you want your client to be able to see? | 07:31 |
| chetnick | no one? | 07:31 |
| baddog | trygg, as far as I know, there's nothing that's making you mount in /mnt/ | 07:31 |
| chetnick | :S | 07:31 |
| alap | nanotube: k i'll try that.. | 07:31 |
| baddog | but I'm not completely sure | 07:31 |
| piti_ | mak_: all of 192.168.xxx.yyy are way too many | 07:32 |
| mak_ | <piti_>,,,,we use to connect internet connection through openvpn keys,,,so that we can have access to private areas,,, | 07:32 |
| twain | how long you been on linux? gnea | 07:32 |
| rww | mak_: Did you switch back to Intrepid in the last 20 minutes, or are you flouting the "No Jaunty support here" line? | 07:33 |
| mak_ | <pitti_1>,,,,,192.168.1.1 | 07:33 |
| piti_ | mak_: just one server? | 07:33 |
| piti_ | mak_: then in your server config file there should be a line say something like | 07:33 |
| genii | nanotube: install packages: libpt-plugins-v4l libpt-plugins-v4l2 libpt-plugins-avc libpt-plugins-dc and try again | 07:33 |
| mak_ | yes only one server | 07:33 |
| piti_ | mak_: push route 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 | 07:33 |
| piti_ | mak_: change that to 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 | 07:34 |
| mak_ | <rww>,,,,i m here chatting related to network issue not the Jaunty (or) interpid issue | 07:34 |

| mgmuscari | twain: did you get my PM? | 07:35 |

| mgmuscari | baddog: noob question... where the heck do i enable fusion-icon once i install it? | 07:35 |
| baddog | well, it's under Applications->System | 07:36 |
| piti_ | mak_: i mean in your server configuration file | 07:36 |
| baddog | gah | 07:36 |
| piti_ | mak_: not in your client config file | 07:36 |
| mgmuscari | baddog: ah, thanks | 07:36 |
| baddog | where do you add a program to auto-start? | 07:36 |
| mak_ | <piti_> ,,,oh wait a minute | 07:36 |
| nanotube | genii: also, the -avc and the -dc plugins claim they are for firewire devices only, and the cam is usb... so would that really be necessary? (they are not currently installed) | 07:37 |
| * baddog has completely forgotten | 07:37 | |
| genii | nanotube: Probably | 07:37 |
| genii | nanotube: The -avc and -dc plugins shouldn't be essential if usb | 07:37 |

| Tex-Twil | please how can I display the DNS cache in Linux ? | 08:09 |
| nanotube | ActionParsnip1: "mostly harmless" ? :) | 08:09 |
| savvas | is the mount type ntfs using ntfs-3g driver? | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Tex-Twil: according to this it doesnt have one unless you install one: http://www.debianadmin.com/local-dns-cache-for-faster-browsing-on-ubuntu-system.html | 08:14 |
| * ActionParsnip1 makes a note to install this later | 08:14 | |
| Tex-Twil | ok I have a look | 08:14 |
| Tex-Twil | so other question, can I use a different port for DNS protocol ? | 08:15 |
| Tex-Twil | I want to have a new entry in /etc/resolv.conf | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | i guess you could | 08:16 |
| Tex-Twil | with the ip of my DNS server which has another port | 08:16 |
| === Vekser is now known as Vexer | ||
| Tex-Twil | actually, the server is 127.0.0.1 .. it is a ssh tunnel and I want the DNS erquest to be passed to the ssh tunnel | 08:16 |

| ActionParsnip1 | just try: nameserver 100.10.50.7 24333 | 08:17 |

| ubottu | surjeet: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 08:19 |

| balachmar | Hi, how do I get ubuntu working with a beamer? | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | balachmar: install a PC in the boot :) | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | balachmar: and put a monitor in your cup holder :) | 08:26 |
| dmphotography | Hey, forgive me, but proftpd channel is DEAD and has been for the past several hours, so I was hoping someone here that knows how to bind to IP can private chat with me. | 08:26 |
| balachmar | ActionParsnip1: It was a real question | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | balachmar: what's a beamer (when its not a car) | 08:26 |
| balachmar | The mirror screens option in resultion does not work | 08:26 |
| balachmar | ActionParsnip1: A projector? | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | balachmar: oh i see | 08:27 |
| linxuz3r | linux is really cool | 08:27 |
| balachmar | Or just I want to use the vga out port on my laptop, for another monitor or beamer(projector) | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dmphotography: how do you mean "bind to an ip" | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !dualhead | balachmar | 08:27 |
| ubottu | balachmar: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 08:27 |
| linxuz3r | ActionParsnip1: do you have nvidia? | 08:28 |
| dmphotography | Well, I was using the directive DefaultAddress and yet I'm still able to connect from other IPs other than the one it's suppose to be "bound" to. | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | balachmar: you need to configure an extra display in xorg.conf (nvidia tool will help lots if you use nvidia) | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linxuz3r: its ALL I use in my systems | 08:28 |
| dmphotography | Meaning I don't want it listing on any other IP other than the one I specify. | 08:28 |
| linxuz3r | ActionParsnip1: so you might as well use twinview | 08:28 |
| balachmar | ActionParship1: I have intel graphics. And why then does it actually recognise the second screen? | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linxuz3r: its for balachmar dude | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | balachmar: you havent told your system its there yet | 08:29 |
| linxuz3r | well now gnome seems to not launch properly | 08:30 |
| balachmar | ActionParship1: But the system detects the extra monitor fine! Then it should be able to use it as well (at least from a user perspective) | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dmphotography: do you mean set a static ip? | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | balachmar: so if you plug a standrd monitor to the system it runs ok? | 08:30 |
| linxuz3r | guys | 08:31 |
| balachmar | ActionParship1: No, it detects the monitor in the resolution settings (even gets the brand right), however, the second display doesn't not display anything | 08:31 |
| dmphotography | No, I'm using Hamachi to create my VPN and therefore I only want the FTP server to respond when someone is connected to hamachi using the Hamachi IP. It shouldn't listen on port 21 for my regular IP but it does. | 08:31 |
| linxuz3r | why is my app all of a suddent wont launch properly | 08:31 |
| linxuz3r | it just show the window and some pictures on the window but wont launch fully | 08:32 |
| syockit | is there a method to make pam poll for 2 types of auth in parallel? I want the fingerprint reader to work while it's asking for my password | 08:32 |
| linxuz3r | later guys | 08:33 |
| dmphotography | Since proftpd is probably the most popular FTP program used for an FTP server on Linux, I was hoping I could find someone who perhaps could help me. | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linxeh: run it from terminal, you will get outputs from the crashing app | 08:34 |
| amaache | Hi | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dmphotography: you may find vsftpd is, but popular doesnt make it the best, I prefer proftpd myself, redhat use vsftpd | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | balachmar: i'd read some guides about how to setup an extra screen with the second monitor | 08:35 |

| Tex-Twil | ActionParsnip1, FYI : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6721193#post6721193 | 08:40 |
| dmphotography | I couldn't for the life of me figure the configuration out without the gui. I'm not a developer. | 08:40 |
| dmphotography | I found the problem. | 08:40 |
| dmphotography | I had to add the directive SocketBindTight on. | 08:40 |
| shubbar | i have a wide screen and most games that run in full screen get choped and i cannot see the lower part | 08:41 |
| ikonia | shubbar games in wine ? | 08:41 |
| innociv | do many of you use a VPS? | 08:41 |
| shubbar | ikonia, no | 08:41 |
| ikonia | shubber which native linux games | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dmphotography: most conf files are in fairly straight english, or well documented both in man pages and online | 08:42 |

| ikonia | shubbar, oh, not heard of that one | 08:42 |
| Cybertinus | hello | 08:43 |
| shubbar | some have the option to turn off fullscreen, but its hard when i cannot see the menu option in the lower part | 08:43 |
| Cybertinus | hello | 08:43 |
| ikonia | cybertinus hi | 08:43 |
| dmphotography | ActionParsnip1: Yeah, but I have difficulties making sense of the directives sometimes or how they should be used. | 08:43 |
| high0wl | ello | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shubbar: use alt + drag. Alt lets you grab an app window in any place | 08:43 |
| luftyx | hi.. | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dmphotography: true, but its fun to learn | 08:43 |
| Cybertinus | sry for the 2 times hello | 08:43 |
| Cybertinus | my GPRS connection was lagging a bit ;) | 08:43 |
| dmphotography | Two of my most common problems is 1) There's simply too many directives. 2) I get confused when or where it should be applied at. | 08:44 |
| anij | I've been doing LFS for last couple of days in virtual box, using jhalfs | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dmphotography: plus if you can use that file effectively, you can configure the system remotely via ssh :D | 08:44 |
| anij | for some reason it keeps asking me to be root # before making the system | 08:44 |
| anij | but i am root when i execute make command | 08:44 |
| anij | any ideas | 08:44 |
| shubbar | actionparsnip1, drag you mean mouse drag, it doesn't work in fullscreen mode | 08:44 |
| dmphotography | LOL, I don't even know what ssh is, so I don't see that happening anytime soon. | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shubbar: what is in fullscren mode? a web browser? a game? | 08:45 |
| dmphotography | Remote desktop is my friend. | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dmphotography: too much bandwidth used when ssh will do | 08:45 |
| anij | I've been doing linux from scratch for last couple of days in virtual box, using jhalfs; for some reason it keeps asking me to be root # before making the system; but i am root when i execute the make command any ideas? | 08:46 |
| dmphotography | Yeah. | 08:46 |
| shubbar | actionparsnip1, a game | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dmphotography: you can connect to your server via ssh and log on as you and use the system like you were sat at it using terminal | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shubbar: what game? | 08:46 |
| Cybertinus | How can I mannually add a program to my menu? I've installed a program, but it doesn't show up :(. I don't know that much about Gnome, I'm more a KDE user ;) | 08:46 |
| shubbar | ikonia, http://tomatoes.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dmphotography: you can even install xming and run gui apps over a forwarded x server | 08:46 |
| dmphotography | ActionParsnip1: I'm still getting familiar with Linux and it's commands. | 08:47 |
| shubbar | actionparsnip1, many games, "i have no tomatoes" , xmoto i managed to turn off full screen | 08:47 |
| dmphotography | ActionParsnip1: I just converted my web server over to Linux and so far that hasn't been too tough considering I'm new to Linux. | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dmphotography: a lot of linux is abstracted now, older linux releases were quite harsh for new users (no automount etc) | 08:48 |
| shubbar | actionparsnip1, "fashion cents" not free but nice, i turn fullscreen off also | 08:48 |

| dmphotography | Also speaking of WIFI, I have the R8767(or whatever it's called) chipset and I have a low signal strength. What gives? | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | oskar-: maybe its a module option when its probed | 09:00 |

| dmphotography | ActionParsnip1: Is there a way to see what a devices current mount point is? | 09:03 |
| oskar- | ActionParsnip1, yes, but if it is controlled via network-manager/dbus it does not read a configuration file | 09:03 |
| dmphotography | The drive apparently has 3 partitions on it. | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dmphotography: run mount with no params | 09:03 |

| ActionParsnip1 | dmphotography: lspci will get you started if its internal, or lsubs if its usb | 09:08 |
| Xeross_ | its like 10-20 screens of code | 09:08 |
| Xeross_ | hmm it seems my ram memory is full causing everything to lag badly | 09:08 |

| ActionParsnip1 | juniecho: use sudo for command line apps, gksudo for gui apps | 09:12 |
| Milkeh | has anybody here ever replaced menu icons? | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Milkeh: only in kde and fluxbox | 09:12 |
| phantom | Hi all. I must buy a LCD Monitor with 22-24 and forgot wich the best manufacturers are. ( DELL LG SAMSUNG ???? is BenQ also on the list? | 09:12 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip1, well heres the problem | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !ot | phantom | 09:13 |
| ubottu | phantom: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 09:13 |
| phantom | I care much about the collor | 09:13 |
| juniecho | the commands are: $ sudo su # rmmod forcedeth # modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 # /etc/init.d/networking restart............... but you know running 'su' is not good as a autorun command ... | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | phantom: fyi, there is no BEST | 09:13 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip1, I replace the scalable folder, the 72x72 folder and the index.theme | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | juniecho: don't use sudo su | 09:13 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip1, but now a lot of icons arn't there | 09:13 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip1, because there in the old scalable folder, how can I merge them together? | 09:14 |
| juniecho | so i need to 'rmmod forcedeth', 'modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0', '/etc/init.d/networking restart' with admin right, can i just put those three in rc.local and just good to go? | 09:14 |
| hateball | juniecho: stuff in rc.local gets run as root yes | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Milkeh: not sure man, not something ive done | 09:14 |

| Milkeh | ActionParsnip1, well do you know what could be going on here? The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue. | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | surjeet: sudo apt-get install vlc | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Milkeh: i'd find a way to wipe all settings from nm and then try reconfigure it | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Milkeh: its not something i use as I simply edit the interfaces file and it goes | 09:15 |
| surjeet | hi how to install lamp | 09:16 |
| kuldip | How to upgrade / update multiple drupal website at a time ? | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | surjeet: I told you | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | surjeet: i even gave you the command | 09:16 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip1, I found a solution but I can't work out one thing | 09:17 |
| balachmar | ActionParship1: He asked another question the second time LAMP instead of VLC | 09:17 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip1, I have 2 folders, one with a lock on it, and one without, how can I move all the contents from the one with the lock to the one without a lock? | 09:17 |
| surjeet | i have use this cammand but my local host is not working properly | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Milkeh: why does it have a lock? | 09:18 |
| erUSUL | !lamp | surjeet | 09:18 |
| ubottu | surjeet: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 09:18 |
| genii | surjeet: sudo tasksel then use up/down arrows to go to LAMP option, spacebar to select. Then tab to select <ok> at bottom. Then Enter key to begin | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | surjeet: then read the factoid, maybe there is some additional config needed | 09:18 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip1, maybe because I took it from usr/share/icons/hicolor | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Milkeh: try sudo cp the files over from the locked folder, you will need to chown them once copied | 09:19 |
| surjeet | which type of config | 09:19 |
| kuldip | How to upgrade / update multiple drupal website at a time ? | 09:19 |
| balachmar | kuldip: That is actually a drupal question not ubuntu | 09:20 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip1, sudo cp scalable scalable_ if I want files to go from scalable_ to scalable? | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | surjeet: I dont know i dont use it, but most folks seem to get by with the factoid for installation | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Milkeh: that will overwrite the folder with the locked one | 09:21 |
| surjeet | how to install third party software | 09:21 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip1, so how am I going to merge them? | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | surjeet: just like any other app | 09:21 |
| === dsmink is now known as Sminkie2 | ||
| ActionParsnip1 | Milkeh: i think its cp -r /source/* /dest | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Milkeh: i'd check man cp | 09:22 |

| kjell | !anyone | jc2000 | 09:24 |
| ubottu | jc2000: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 09:24 |
| jc2000 | im working on building a IRC bot | 09:24 |

| high0wl | hey i'm having a bit of a problem | 09:40 |
| high0wl | i have a sh*tty radeon 7000 agp card with composite tv-out | 09:40 |
| high0wl | if i have it hooked up to my tv on boot | 09:41 |
| c0l2e | is there a mime/file type management for gnome? like the one with kde's File Types Settings ?? | 09:41 |
| high0wl | the tv picture comes in perfect but my monitor goes out of sync | 09:41 |
| high0wl | if it's not hooked up my monitor is fine | 09:41 |
| quibbler | Milkeh: yes you can install conky in synaptic, but then you have to learn to use it. try the link I gave you in ubuntuforums to help you configure it. | 09:41 |
| ikonia | high0wl: control your language - if you can't say it without staring it out - don't say it | 09:41 |
| nyaa | out of sync like the monitor's putting things in the wrong places, or like the refresh rate is not right? | 09:42 |
| high0wl | my bad | 09:42 |
| high0wl | like the refresh rate is out.....looks somewhat crunched and garbled when its booting up | 09:42 |
| high0wl | once X loads its starts tweaking out tho | 09:43 |
| nyaa | what program do you use for dual screens? | 09:43 |
| high0wl | i don't | 09:43 |
| high0wl | i just want a clone | 09:43 |
| high0wl | which it does on its own | 09:43 |
| kjell | nyaa: nvidia-config | 09:43 |

| nyaa | yes kjell | 09:44 |
| nyaa | high0wl have you tried manually changing the refresh rate for the monitor? | 09:44 |
| dmphotography | Where can I find the definition for commands such as APPE, DELE, MKD, RMD, RNTO, STOR, XMKD, XRMD DIRS? | 09:44 |
| ikonia | dmphotography: man pages | 09:45 |
| nyaa | dmphotography you can usually type man appe in a terminal to get the manual for appe | 09:45 |
| Milkeh | quibbler, find the section titled Section "Module", and add, I can't find Module anywhere | 09:45 |
| nyaa | or man dele, man mkd etc | 09:45 |
| dmphotography | Thank you. | 09:45 |
| n00b1 | hi all | 09:45 |
| high0wl | can't change the refresh rate on the monitor itself - it doesnt even let me go into the monitors menu when its out-of-sync | 09:45 |
| n00b1 | I'm trying to install my ATI video driver | 09:46 |
| high0wl | as far as messing with xorg.conf - i havent yet | 09:46 |
| n00b1 | the manual says I have to sh ./ati-driver-installer-9-1-x86.x86_64.run | 09:46 |
| n00b1 | but then I get a msg I'm not logged in as root | 09:46 |
| ikonia | n00b1: have you tried the drivers in the "system->administration->hardware drivers" gui | 09:46 |
| n00b1 | no | 09:46 |
| high0wl | i've screwed around in xorg.conf tho plenty of times in the past and never managed to figure this problem out | 09:46 |
| ikonia | n00b1: I strongly suggest you try them first | 09:46 |
| nyaa | high0wl if ati is anything like nvidia they should have a control panel in system > administration | 09:46 |
| n00b1 | I did try the default driver if that's what you mean | 09:46 |
| ikonia | n00b1: no thats not what I mean | 09:47 |
| dmphotography | It keeps saying "No manual entry for ***. | 09:47 |
| n00b1 | ok | 09:47 |
| ikonia | dmphotography: which command | 09:47 |
| nyaa | high0wl if they do you should be able to mess with it from there a lot more safely than messing with xorg.conf would be | 09:47 |
| dmphotography | Any of them. | 09:47 |
| high0wl | nyaa: nah nvidia is linux friendly.......ati - not so much | 09:47 |
| nyaa | high0wl no matter what, if I mess with that sort of stuff I save a backup copy of my old xorg.conf | 09:47 |
| oCean_ | dmphotography: they're ftp commands right, not 'just' unix commands | 09:47 |
| dmphotography | correct. | 09:48 |
| dmphotography | I'm just trying to find the explination of them. | 09:48 |
| oCean_ | dmphotography: quick search on google said: http://www.nsftools.com/tips/RawFTP.htm | 09:48 |
| high0wl | windows xp works fine with my TV hooked up - windows 7 beta doesn't and every flavor of linux i've tried including an LFS system always gives me out-of-sync | 09:48 |
| dmphotography | Ahh! Thanks again! | 09:48 |
| n00b1 | it found one: ati/amd proprietary FGLRX graphics driver --- is that the driver I downloaded to my desktop or another one? | 09:49 |
| ziroday | high0wl: tried changing the resolution/refresh rate? | 09:50 |
| ziroday | high0wl: also what TV is it? | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !ati | n00b1 | 09:51 |
| ubottu | n00b1: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 09:51 |
| high0wl | lol yeah i changed my resolution to 1024x768 after i installed ubuntu but the funny thing i noticed is my refresh rate is 0 Hz according to system > preferences > screen resolution | 09:51 |
| rww | n00b1: No, that's the driver in the Ubuntu repositories. You should use that one. | 09:51 |
| sophia | #mplayer | 09:51 |
| high0wl | currently the tv i'm using is a 37" hdtv | 09:51 |
| n00b1 | thx ubottu | 09:51 |
| ziroday | high0wl: what graphics card/drivers are you using? | 09:52 |
| n00b1 | rww, I tried one driver, think it's that one, but it screwed up (black screen upon boot) that's why I downloaded the official ATI one | 09:52 |
| high0wl | graphics card: ATI Radeon 7000/VE Driver - xorg-radeon | 09:52 |
| Milkeh | what the | 09:52 |
| sophia | #ffwrap | 09:52 |
| Milkeh | where did my conky go? | 09:52 |
| Milkeh | grr why does it keep disapearing? | 09:53 |
| ziroday | high0wl: right, and screen resolutions shows 0 Hz | 09:53 |
| ziroday | Milkeh: run it in the terminal and find out | 09:53 |
| cakey | 0hz | 09:53 |
| high0wl | lol yeah | 09:53 |
| cakey | damn | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Milkeh: if you run it from terminal, ten close terminal, it will die | 09:53 |
| rnk | fucking xchat keep disappearing | 09:53 |
| high0wl | its definately not 0hz lol but it says it is | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Milkeh: if you use show desktop, it will minimise too | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | !ohmy | rnk | 09:53 |
| ubottu | rnk: Please watch your language, attitude, and topic to help keep this channel friendly and helpful. Remember, there are kids here! | 09:53 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip, oh, is there anyway to prevent that? | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Milkeh: which one!? | 09:54 |
| rnk | sorry] | 09:54 |
| quibbler | Milkeh: use alt F2 and run conky from there | 09:54 |
| Milkeh | quibbler, ok thank you | 09:54 |
| ziroday | high0wl: right, well you're going to need to mess around xorg.conf to get a modeline that works | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Milkeh: the show desktop one i am unsure of, if you run it with alt+f2 it will be spawned by the desktop | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | rnk: run it from the terminal, when it crashes you will get some output which may help | 09:55 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip, Ok thanks, and I'm sorry but I have one more question, very basic :) | 09:55 |
| high0wl | nah i dont think it really has much to do with xorg.conf | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Milkeh: dont ask to ask, just ask | 09:55 |
| high0wl | my monitor goes out of sync before X is up | 09:55 |
| jimcooncat | Milkeh: I believe you could add it to System -> Preferences -> Sessions so it will start up when you log in. I don't know conky though. | 09:55 |
| ziroday | high0wl: thats because your monitor is passing along/lying in its EDID | 09:56 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip, Well in my password I use the number pad but num lock is always on | 09:56 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip, how can I make my computer boot with it off? | 09:56 |
| Akos_beginner | Hi! Can I mount bin file somehow without converting it to iso? | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Milkeh: i think thats a BIOS option | 09:57 |
| Milkeh | ActionParsnip, I'm not sure because it was always off on windows | 09:58 |
| jimcooncat | Milkeh: You'll need to try the BIOS option, and if that doesn't do it for you then install numlockx | 09:59 |
| sophia | anyone can help me pls??? | 09:59 |

| sophia | ActionParsnip: i installed gtk related packages using apt-file... i will paste Makefile and pls go through it once | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | sophia: the make file will mean nothing to me | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | sophia: if you dont have gtk.h it wont compile, you need apt-file to tell you which package you need to install to get the file | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | sophia: thats why i told you to install apt-file | 10:06 |
| sophia | ActionParsnip: ok | 10:07 |

| sophia | maco: libgtk2.0-dev is allready installed :-( | 10:12 |
| twocarlo_ | O__o:try whois.net | 10:15 |
| oCean_ | O__o: configure /etc/hosts | 10:15 |
| O__o | so i can make myself any domain name? | 10:15 |
| O__o | free or do i need to pay? | 10:16 |
| ikonia | O__o: what do you want to do exactly | 10:16 |
| maco | sophia: er...thats odd | 10:16 |
| oCean_ | O__o: If you want to connect throuhg internet, you have to choose and register a domain | 10:16 |
| maco | unless it changed between your version and jaunty | 10:16 |
| O__o | ok | 10:16 |
| O__o | if i dont register, then i simply use the ip address? | 10:17 |
| O__o | like user@xx.xx.xx.xx for email? | 10:17 |
| maco | think so, yeah | 10:17 |
| maco | O__o: could be hard though if you dont have a static IP | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | sophia: try: apt-cache search libgtk | grep dev | 10:18 |
| maco | static IP probably costs more than registering a domain name does though | 10:18 |
| O__o | ok, i do have static ip | 10:18 |
| oCean_ | O__o: but nobody would know your ip address, right. | 10:18 |
| O__o | my friends know | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | O__o: i'd get a no-ip account which will resolve your routers wan ip to a name | 10:18 |

| O__o | free? | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | O__o: forever | 10:20 |
| O__o | really? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | O__o: it just makes your wan ip resolve to a name | 10:20 |
| O__o | i will check that out | 10:20 |
| bryant | Action, are you talking about DNS servers? | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | O__o: if your ip changes, install the DUC client to keep the IP in the records up to date. The account isnt active immediately as it takes a while to propogate through | 10:21 |
| O__o | my ip wont change | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | bryant: it will resolve his ip to a name so kinda yeah | 10:21 |

| dmphotography | How do I go about formatting a partition on a harddrive from NTFS to one Linux likes. | 10:21 |
| dmphotography | ext3? | 10:22 |
| ForeverSmurf | what architecture is ubuntu compiled/optimized against? | 10:22 |
| outboard | use the partion editor | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ForeverSmurf: all | 10:22 |
| dmphotography | outboard: Where's that? | 10:22 |
| O__o | if i do change my ip, i just need to goto no-ip.com and change the setting there, right? ActionParsnip | 10:22 |
| outboard | but linux sees and is able to use ntfs | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | O__o: yeah pretty much, the DUC can manage it for you though which is easier | 10:23 |
| outboard | system >administration | 10:23 |
| dmphotography | outboard: Yes, but I cannot set permissions or ownership on it for some reason. | 10:23 |
| bryant | dmphotography, if you want to create a ext3 partition, man mkfs.ext3 | 10:23 |
| O__o | DUC is a package? | 10:23 |
| dmphotography | Which format should I use for Linux? | 10:23 |
| bryant | ext3 | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | dmphotography: i'd recommend: sudo apt-get install gparted; gksudo gparted | 10:23 |
| outboard | ext3 i think | 10:23 |
| francesco_ | CIAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | dmphotography: if its usb, ext2, for internal drives ext3 is advised | 10:23 |
| dmphotography | Thank you all. | 10:24 |
| outboard | np | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dmphotography: if the usb is going to be used in windows machines, use ntfs | 10:24 |

| ubottu | francesco_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dmphotography: formatti will destroy the data on the drive so backup anything you want to put on once its made ext3 | 10:25 |
| dmphotography | Out of curiosity, how come I'm unable to set ownership and permissions on my ntfs drive? | 10:25 |
| dmphotography | Correct. | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | dmphotography: its ntfs which is proprietary, linux file permissions etc cant be set | 10:25 |
| nagyv | could someone tell me how the bash command export works? I have two scripts, the first should set many environment variables with export, then the second would like to use them. The first gives no error, but the second still doesn't have the variables set. Any ideas? | 10:26 |
| genii | dmphotography: Because it doesn't use the same kind of permissions system that *nix filesystems use | 10:26 |
| twocarlo_ | ntfs sucks | 10:26 |
| dmphotography | LOL. | 10:26 |
| twocarlo_ | on linux | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | dmphotography: ntfs3g is a best effort as MS wont divulge how it works | 10:26 |
| Hew | twocarlo_: Have you used ntfs-3g? | 10:26 |
| dmphotography | So is there a happy in-between for windows/linux compatibility? | 10:26 |
| outboard | linux permissions seem to be more secure | 10:26 |
| nyaa | ntfs's inner workings were figured out long ago | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | twocarlo_: ntfs or fat32, ntfs is more robust | 10:26 |
| nyaa | you give microsoft money, and then it works a bit. | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dmphotography: see above | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | twocarlo_: wrong target, sorry | 10:27 |
| genii | dmphotography: ext2/3 and fs-driver for ext3 for the Win box | 10:27 |
| prince_jammys | nagyv: does the first script run the second script? | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dmphotography: what genii said | 10:27 |
| twocarlo_ | Hew:havent tried it yet | 10:27 |
| nagyv | prince_jammys: no, should it? can't these variables set globally by export? | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dmphotography: but the systems you use must have the driver istalled to read it | 10:28 |
| dmphotography | Ok. | 10:28 |
| surjeet | how to give the read write permision | 10:28 |
| Hew | twocarlo_: Then how could you possibly know it sucks? Not a helpful comment to post in the support channel. | 10:28 |
| dmphotography | Because I want to make backups of my files and be able to read them on my windows machine. | 10:28 |
| prince_jammys | nagyv: changing the environment can only affect children of that process | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dmphotography: which freaks out retarded admins who wont help you out because the software is from some site theyve never seen | 10:28 |
| nagyv | prince_jammys: thx, I'll try that way then | 10:28 |
| dmphotography | Haha. | 10:29 |
| prince_jammys | nagyv: at that point, it might as well be all one script | 10:29 |
| nagyv | prince_jammys: yes, I realised it as well :) | 10:29 |
| Hew | Anyone know a command that can search for a string in a directory of files? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Hew: grep | 10:30 |
| prince_jammys | nagyv: though you can still export within the script, if the script runs programs that expect certain env variables to be set | 10:30 |
| nagyv | prince_jammys: and is it possible to call the "settings" script from the other scripts (plural now!) to set the environment variable for the main script? | 10:30 |
| nagyv | prince_jammys: exactly, that's what I would like | 10:30 |
| surjeet | how to give the read write permision any folder | 10:31 |
| nagyv | prince_jammys: isn't that what the export command is for? | 10:31 |
| Hew | ikonia: Thanks, I didn't even think of using grep directly :P | 10:31 |
| dmphotography | surjeet: chmod | 10:31 |
| dmphotography | 777 | 10:31 |
| oCean_ | nagyv: use "source <filename_with_variable_definitions>" in any script to read the values exported in that script | 10:31 |
| === Nickname_ is now known as spass | ||
| ikonia | Hew: easy to miss the obvious sometimes | 10:31 |
| dmphotography | surjeet: example would be: chmod username:usergroup 777 filename | 10:32 |
| nagyv | oCean_: cool, and can't I set global variables? like $HOME is? | 10:32 |
| prince_jammys | nagyv: say i want any program that uses the EDITOR variable to use 'vim'. i can export EDITOR=vim in my .bashrc, and any children of my bash shell will inherit that variable. so when i run crontab, for example (which uses EDITOR), it opens my crontab with vim | 10:32 |
| dmphotography | I personally use chown more though so that way I don't have to change the permissions. | 10:32 |
| surjeet | such as i want to create a folder inthis folder /home/user/ | 10:33 |
| OriWB | Can someone help me with a shaky interent connection? (network stays connected, but I no longer have internet) | 10:33 |
| outboard | i had a second screen attached and now have removed it. but now when i boot the prompt boxes for loging in are appearing to the side of the screen , nearly off the screen | 10:33 |
| dmphotography | surjeet: try this: chown surjeet:surjeet /home/user | 10:34 |
| prince_jammys | nagyv: so by 'global', you probably mean variables that are set in your .bashrc or .xsessionrc | 10:34 |
| nagyv | prince_jammys: but then what is the "export" command for? Can't I set ".bashrc level" variables later? | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dmphotography: you may want to use chown -R ;) | 10:34 |
| O__o | ActionParsnip, so do i add domain or add host? | 10:34 |
| prince_jammys | nagyv: if I didn't export EDITOR, crontab in the above example would not receive the value 'vim' | 10:34 |
| twocarlo_ | it sucked because, before i dual boot winxp with ubuntu and as i try to access my files using ubuntu on ntfs partition i couldnt used my files anymore as i try to accessed it on windows:thats the moral lesson of it | 10:34 |
| dmphotography | ActionParsnip: yeah, if you want to have full permissions to all the subfolders in /user | 10:35 |
| O__o | ActionParsnip, i just registered no-ip.com, what do i do next? | 10:35 |
| dmphotography | Is there any sort of security risks by changing ownsership from root? | 10:35 |
| nagyv | prince_jammys: I think I understand it now, more or less :) | 10:35 |
| surjeet | such as i want to create a folder inthis folder /home/user/ | 10:35 |
| prince_jammys | nagyv: export makes it so that child processes of a certain process can inherit the value of a variable | 10:35 |
| nagyv | prince_jammys: thanks | 10:35 |
| oCean_ | nagyv: you, as a user, cannot define a variable value for all other users (e.g. 'global') to use. Your own could be specified in .bashrc indeed. Exporting is just a way to let 'children' 'inherit' the values set in the parent shell | 10:35 |

| syockit | OriWB: I did have that problem on vista though | 11:51 |
| Shortguy109 | The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. | 11:52 |
| Shortguy109 | You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu. | 11:52 |

| syockit | OriWB: the difference is, other lads also got no internet after that | 11:52 |
| OriWB | syockit: hmm | 11:53 |
| syockit | OriWB: and it only happens when I have too many connections at one time (hint: bittorrent) | 11:53 |

| Shortguy109 | can anyone here help me with ma sound problem??? | 11:53 |
| OriWB | syockit: that makes perfect sense... ok, so how do i stay on, and knock the other guys off? | 11:53 |
| syockit | OriWB: you on bittorrent? I think you're router has a built-in setting that disconnects you when you have too many connection | 11:53 |

| nyaa | shortguy109: in volume control do you have any options that are muted? | 11:54 |

| ravious | everything works out of the box on the nvidia card.. tho.. i've never been able to have it configure duel video cards by default... i've always had to manually edit my conf to get it working on both cards | 12:34 |
| ezerhoden | other than using google, you could boot the liveCD and lspci -v will spit out all the hardware and what driver it is using | 12:34 |
| ravious | but now when i edit the conf file with the settings that i've always used, i get errors and it starts in failsafe mode | 12:35 |

| [MauroSanjo][Bra | Hey guys, does anybody experienced sound problems in Ubuntu 8.04 when firefox open flash widgets with sound like youtube? When this happens I can't play anything anymore unless i close firefox... | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Myrth: you choose the partition/disk to install to in the installer, just make sure there is unpartitioned space on it and the installer will see it and offer to use it | 13:02 |
| scunizi | Myrth: on install you can tell it where to install it. boot.ini is a windows file. ubuntu will replace the MBR with grub giving you a menu to choose either windows or ubuntu | 13:02 |

| Myrth | well, it didn't install grub on sdda | 13:02 |

| Myrth | it boots to grub when i choose in bios to start from 2nd HD, but then it's unable to start because sda<->sdb switched now | 13:03 |
| scunizi | Myrth: follow the above link and reinstall grub.. it just got put in the wrong place.. | 13:03 |
| Adrian` | yes | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Myrth: then install grub to the other disk then you should be ok, btw, grub uses disk/partition numbers, not names | 13:04 |

| ActionParsnip | !fsck | runpain2 | 14:05 |
| ubottu | runpain2: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 14:05 |
| Ascavasaion | ActionParsnip: check http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-55318 There is says (and shows a picture) of the infrared port. | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Ascavasaion: doesnt mean theres an IR sender behind it | 14:06 |
| ozgur | I couldn't write a text with newlines as a body in nofity-send command, what I tried is: "/usr/bin/notify-send -u normal "New mail\n" "You have new messages in your inbox\n\n" -t 3000" but it couldn't work, how can i enable interpretation of backslash escapes in notify-send command | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Ascavasaion: dos the system have windows on it too? | 14:06 |
| runpain2 | Will that also do a scan like the dos does for windows | 14:07 |
| jackiemcghee | is there console app that will display a clock similar to the way ncmpc does? Sadly, any search of Google with clock, linux and console brings up a myriad of unhelpful info. | 14:07 |
| quibbler | fioccobianco: just tell your problem and someone will probably help | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | runpain2: it will check the system for errors, if you drop to recovery mode root console, you can umount partitions and check them with and options you want | 14:07 |

| ozgur | yes | 14:08 |
| runpain2 | I still dont uderstand | 14:08 |
| ozgur | i want to enable the interpretation of newlines in notify-send command | 14:08 |
| jrib | ozgur: yes, use an actual newline by pressing ctrl-v enter for example | 14:08 |
| dad | ActionParsnip: here is my xorg: http://pastebin.com/f7144c0c9 | 14:08 |
| ozgur | what I tried is: "/usr/bin/notify-send -u normal "New mail\n" "You have new messages in your inbox\n\n" | 14:08 |
| jrib | or just press enter | 14:09 |
| runpain2 | a surface scan is what i want | 14:09 |
| ozgur | but it didn't work | 14:09 |
| jrib | ozgur: did you try either of my two suggestions just now? | 14:09 |

I go to alot of internet cafes with my laptop and until now I have always just pluged in the ethernet cabel and was online instantly.

| ActionParsnip | dad: ok so did you just run sudo nvidia-xconfig ?? | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | dad: I think you are close | 14:11 |
| jackiemcghee | fiftyone: the two places you have tried, has your laptop worked there before? Or are these new places? | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | dad: if you just ran sudo nvidia-xconfig you will need to restart your xserver | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | dad: then rerun gksudo nvidia-settings | 14:11 |
| fiftyone | jackiemcghee, these are new places I have never been with this laptop before. | 14:12 |

| heatmzzr | Why does my ubuntu only recognize 3gb of the 4gb ram i have? | 14:23 |
| deany | heatmzzr, you need to modify kernel to see 4gb or use server kernel | 14:23 |
| DarkKnight | ActionParsnip; what should i do now?? | 14:23 |
| deany | heatmzzr, pretty silly really as 4gb is more common these days.. | 14:24 |

| heatmzzr | hateball: can i install 64 bit ubuntu without completely distroying other data? | 14:33 |
| xaos11 | perlsyntax: and you might need to install the one with "-dev" at the end | 14:33 |
| perlsyntax | thanks | 14:33 |
| xaos11 | perlsyntax: what you trying to install? | 14:33 |
| hateball | heatmzzr: Well if you put /home on it's partition you can keep that. / will get overwritten tho | 14:33 |
| xaos11 | fiftyone: you have the usb adapter? | 14:34 |
| fiftyone | xaos11, what do you mean usb adapter? | 14:34 |
| hateball | heatmzzr: if you specifically tell the installer to keep /home, that is... not doing a guided install | 14:34 |
| quibbler | could someone shed some light on this: my system login sound has stopped working...for the rest, sound is fine..amarok vlc mail notification etc work great | 14:34 |
| heatmzzr | hateball: best to just wipe it out and restart anyway right, fresh everything? | 14:34 |

| xaos11 | fiftyone: i thought you were here yesterday taling about a usb wifi. maybe it was someone else. what type of connection do you use to get online? | 14:35 |
| hateball | heatmzzr: if it's a brand new install, yeah. Takes like 20 minutes anyhow :) | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | quibbler: what if you set it to something else? | 14:35 |
| hateball | heatmzzr: I suggest making a separate /home partition when/if you do so tho | 14:35 |
| fiftyone | xaos11, no not me. I am connecting threw a wired connection. Unplug from the pc plug it into the lappy. It usually works without a hitch but today its not working at all. No idea what the problem is. | 14:36 |

| heatmzzr | hateball: not that, just all the extra stuff. Ive been considering getting rid of winblows all together as I no longer use it so maybe a good time to do it all over... damn though, i got alot on these drives\ | 14:36 |

| ActionParsnip | fiftyone: do you get an ip address (run ifconfig) | 14:39 |
| hateball | heatmzzr: ext4 is stable, but the 8.10 kernel doesnt have it. So you'd have to go for 9.04 alpha if you want it | 14:39 |

| oCean_ | silv3r_m001: How often does it happen | 14:43 |
| fiftyone | ActionParsnip, lots of information | 14:43 |
| quibbler | ActionParsnip: same no system sounds | 14:43 |
| SunnyDP | Leo | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | fiftyone: do you have an ip that fits your networks settings | 14:44 |
| gabri-shatana | ciao | 14:44 |
| perlsyntax_ | does anyone use pygtk? | 14:44 |
| SunnyDP | later | 14:44 |
| silv3r_m001 | oCean_: many a times... and like when I leave the computer idle for about 30 mins or so then it suddenly starts | 14:44 |
| heatmzzr | hateball; how can I tell if I can use 64bit version? | 14:44 |
| perlsyntax_ | i want to make sure i got the right package. | 14:44 |
| fiftyone | ActionParsnip, I am not sure man, basically, I have until now just plugged in and was online instantly, howver, today two different internet cafes and i havent been able to connect to eather. | 14:44 |
| xaos11 | perlsyntax_ what are you trying to do again? compile something? | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | heatmzzr If you have over 4 gigs of ram and a cpu that can handle 64 bit.. but 32 is still recommended | 14:45 |
| xaos11 | I run 64 bit | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | fiftyone: well if your network uses 192.168.0.x like many do and you have that ip in your ifconfi output then you are recieving dhcp | 14:45 |
| hateball | Why would you recommend 32-bit when 64-bit works just fine without nasty PAE hacks? | 14:45 |
| xaos11 | used to have problems with flash etc but now its fine | 14:45 |
| perlsyntax_ | someone told me in here to use libpython-gtk.But i found a package cll pygtk-2-dev | 14:45 |
| oCean_ | heatmzzr: use 'sudo lshw -C cpu' to see what cpu you have | 14:45 |
| perlsyntax_ | call | 14:45 |
| fiftyone | ActionParsnip, I see. Is there some kinda application I can use to search for active connections? | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hateball We have always recommended 32 over 64 .. for flash and other minor issues that new users seemed to have trouble with like chroot etc | 14:46 |
| LeoWei | ikonia: i use NAT for this vm, does it still eth0? I am using vbox | 14:46 |
| DarkKnight | Jack_Sparrow; i am tired of this 64 bit thing...got many flash problems....how can i make it 32 bit...do i have to reinstall....i suppose that's a big task | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | fiftyone: ifconfig will show you, if a device fails dhcp you will see a 164.254.x.x ip | 14:46 |
| silv3r_m001 | oCean_: could it be due to somekind of scheduled indexing of files | 14:47 |
| DarkKnight | Jack_Sparrow; is there nothing simpler | 14:47 |
| hateball | Jack_Sparrow: Flash and Java are not an issue anymore | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DarkKnight You cant downgrade.. reinstall is recommended | 14:47 |
| silv3r_m001 | oCean_: when it happens the computer almost hangs | 14:47 |
| heatmzzr | width says 64bit.... is that what i was looking for? | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hateball I do know that, but there are still issues with people on 64 bit | 14:47 |
| DarkKnight | Jack_sparrow; and i dont want to lose data as well | 14:47 |
| hateball | Jack_Sparrow: Such as? | 14:47 |
| oCean_ | silv3r_m001: sure, if anything like that is scheduled, like "updatedb", but that should not run that often. See the /etc/cron.daily, cron.hourly et cetera. | 14:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hateball ask in another channel.. this is support.. not 32 v 64 discussion | 14:48 |
| heatmzzr | hateball: width says 64bit.... is that what i was looking for? | 14:48 |
| DStrevinas | fiftyone: http://paste.ubuntu.com/. Paste the results of your ipconfig command | 14:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DarkKnight backup /home for a start | 14:48 |
| DStrevinas | ifconfig | 14:48 |
| silv3r_m001 | oCean_: coz when it happens even running top in konsole wud be difficult | 14:48 |
| fiftyone | ok | 14:48 |
| freegoo | hey guy, qemu but it seems to be running slow. is there another program i could use, or any prefromace tips you ncoulnd give me | 14:48 |
| xaos11 | perlsyntax: that one might work, you might as well install them both, it cant hurt to have both packages | 14:48 |
| fiftyone | let me try because im not online on that machine | 14:48 |
| silv3r_m001 | oCean_: so I just have to press the restart button | 14:48 |
| fiftyone | i sec | 14:48 |
| oCean_ | silv3r_m001: install iotop. Let it run, and see what pops up | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | freegoo: virtualbox or vmware | 14:49 |
| cedrichurst | could anyone explain how this could be happening: http://cedric-screencasts.s3.amazonaws.com/UbuntuNoSuchFileError.mov | 14:49 |
| DarkKnight | Jack_Sparrow; how can i do that without transferring to some other system | 14:49 |

| dad | 173, not 177!! | 14:51 |
| hateball | heatmzzr: It's up to you really. Use 64-bit which works perfectly fine for me and many others, or hold on to old technology and mess about with PAE kernels... | 14:51 |
| danina | ciao | 14:52 |
| dad | ActionParsnip: nvidia-173-kernel-source was already installed | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | dad: well we pulled 177 and installed 173 | 14:52 |
| dad | yep | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ok thats cool, when it installed did it compile the nvidia kernel? | 14:52 |
| dad | but the problem was the same with 177 | 14:52 |
| heatmzzr | hateball: I just wanted to be sure i could run 64bit. Which by the looks of things here I can... thanks man | 14:52 |

| jiffe92 | suppose I could just change the version | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | fiftyone: ok try this: sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old | 14:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | heatmzzr Problems installing from Livecd... At start or install screen, press F6 and remove splash and quiet, if that does not work do it again but now also add noapic acpi=off before the -- on the command line | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | fiftyone: and reboot | 14:55 |
| cedrichurst | but the file is clearly there | 14:55 |
| pavel_ | $this->_output->setPlaceholder('linkbar', $tpl); | 14:55 |
| cedrichurst | what could be causing this? | 14:55 |

| n8tuser | cedrichurst-> it uses its own jre? so that maybe the case | 15:00 |
| dad | nope, a nForce610/GF7050 | 15:00 |
| === daniel_ is now known as xahuar | ||
| ActionParsnip | Shadoweaver: source code is plain text that coders write to make a program work. They use common libraries and functions to work. If you want to compile you will make a binary (or program) which your system can run to make the program work | 15:00 |
| datakid | hey, I set focus=strict under metacity in gconf-editor on unbuntu intrepid...do I need to restart gnome for it to take effect? | 15:00 |

| xahuar | /msg NickServ identify noporolo | 15:01 |
| dad | and what about a GF9400GT? | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Shadoweaver: as a basic user you cacn probably install pre-compiled packages (the stuff you apt-get) and achieve the same end | 15:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xahuar go change your password NOW | 15:01 |
| oCean_ | cedrichurst: do a "file ./install" Does that return something like "executable" ? | 15:01 |

| oCean_ | adubz: what did you specify for filesystem in /etc/fstab? You had 'auto'. I told you to change | 15:16 |
| H8_Machine | Jack_Sparrow: i compiled it myself | 15:16 |
| adubz | /dev/sdb1 /media/1.5tb vfat default 0 0 | 15:16 |
| oCean_ | adubz: is the directory /media/1.5tb existing? | 15:16 |

| MuffloN^ | How do I unhide a NTFS partition in Linux? | 15:17 |
| oCean_ | adubz: and "fdisk -l /dev/sdb" tells you that there is 1 partition /dev/sdb1 with vfat? | 15:17 |
| MuffloN^ | lilo is my boot manager | 15:17 |
| Boohbah_ | CyL: if you restore the windows MBR you won't be able to boot ubuntu. are you sure you want to do that? | 15:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CyL restoring mbr will kill ubuntu grub.. | 15:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CyL are you just trying to get windows included in your grub menu? | 15:18 |
| oCean_ | Ascavasaion: that's not nice | 15:18 |
| adubz | /dev/sdb1 1 182401 1465136001 7 HPFS/NTFS | 15:18 |
| CyL | Boohbah_, Jack_Sparrow: I can still run from the live cd and install grub on ubuntuś partition | 15:18 |
| adubz | yes | 15:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MuffloN^ What release of ubuntu are you using | 15:18 |

| CyL | Jack_Sparrow: nope, I'd really like to restore windows MBR... I must use windows in work, I installed ubuntu to give it a try, but every time I start my computer i gets on ubuntu | 15:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MuffloN^ and why lilo? we use grub by default | 15:19 |
| adubz | mount -a ran fine | 15:20 |
| MuffloN^ | Jack_Sparrow: Because it's easier to manager with Linux Live | 15:20 |
| adubz | let me see if drive is accessible | 15:20 |
| oCean_ | adubz: ok! | 15:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CyL are you in ubuntu now.. or on livecd | 15:20 |
| SunnyDP | Dzillar: in a terminal window type: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 15:20 |
| CyL | Jack_Sparrow: besides this, I think it is easier to include ubuntu in windows boot menu | 15:20 |
| CyL | Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu | 15:20 |
| Dillizar | SunnyDP, k but i think it will not do any thing | 15:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CyL then you need help from the windows people on editing their boot.ini | 15:21 |
| CyL | Jack_Sparrow: that would be allright for me to do | 15:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CyL and it is not easier | 15:21 |
| adubz | nice it appears all is working now | 15:21 |
| tuna-fish | Hi. How can I change the language that an user starts with when more than one language is installed? | 15:21 |

| Dillizar | SunnyDP, flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. | 15:22 |
| adubz | yep thanks man | 15:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MuffloN^ Nope | 15:22 |
| CyL | Jack_Sparrow: isn't kind of a virtual package that restores windows MBR? | 15:22 |
| SunnyDP | Dizilar: now type: sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:22 |
| SunnyDP | and then | 15:22 |
| SunnyDP | Dizilar: now type: sudo apt-get update | 15:22 |
| SunnyDP | and after that try the flashplugin afgain | 15:23 |

| SunnyDP | LeoWei the kill command ? | 15:23 |
| CyL | Jack_Sparrow: I don't have a wind boot disk, since I'm on a laptop without floppy... | 15:23 |
| Odd-rationale | LeoWei: send it the SIGUP signal? | 15:23 |
| LeoWei | kill command? i just awnt to restart my no-ip application | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CyL windows cd will work | 15:24 |
| CyL | Jack_Sparrow: I'm almost sure that there such a package, as I recall doing this trough a package in the past | 15:24 |
| oCean_ | MuffloN^: When, where... ? "sudo fdisk -l" does not show your partitions? | 15:24 |
| SunnyDP | LeoWei: close and restart | 15:24 |
| MuffloN^ | oCean_: Oh it shows it, and it can be seen and used in Linux | 15:24 |

| ali1234 | david__: there are two different drivers for atheros cards, ath_pci aka madwifi hal which is the old driver, and ath5k/ath9k which is the new driver. | 15:50 |

| david__ | sorry about the caps | 15:51 |
| david__ | I did the dmesg and I see where I tried to use ndiswrapper | 15:51 |
| ali1234 | david__: the old driver isn't really updated much, but the new driver is still not really ready. so you have to try both, and with the new driver you may have to try multiple different versions of it before you find one that works | 15:51 |
| david__ | ouch | 15:51 |
| david__ | so what is the procedure i need to follow? | 15:51 |
| ikonia | dhruvasagar: ahh thank you | 15:51 |
| dhruvasagar | annie: how do you connect to your modem? | 15:52 |

| freegoo | guy what virtual machine software should i run? qume, vmware, xen?? are any faster thwan otherws??? | 15:52 |

| ali1234 | david__: for others it does | 15:53 |
| ikonia | annie: the windows driver is not usable, I'm just trying to find info on the modem | 15:53 |
| Shadoweaver | Is bash an easy language to learn? If so where does one start? | 15:53 |
| david__ | i understand | 15:53 |
| dhruvasagar | annie: drivers are for a modem, ubuntu should be able to support it out of the box in my opinion | 15:53 |

| david__ | i have tried wpa_supplicant, wicd, ndiswrapper, and every other thing I could find | 15:54 |
| dhruvasagar | Myrth you can install MySQL admin package | 15:54 |

| Aiot | I'm having a problem getting the Nvidia drivers working on a Dell xps m1340 with a Nvidia 9500m card. If I install any of the restricted drivers and reboot I get a black screen that says "No Screens" and I cant start X. Any help would be awsome | 15:55 |
| jiffe92 | I did an apt-get update, but this didn't seem to fix it | 15:55 |
| Guest98514 | or such a gateway that I can install on ubuntu? | 15:55 |
| annie | dhruvasagar: Yes i had tried | 15:55 |
| david__ | should I disable the support for atheros 5XXX in my hardware drivers section? | 15:55 |
| ali1234 | david__: probably | 15:55 |
| ali1234 | david__: is that from ndiswrapper? | 15:56 |
| dhruvasagar | Aiot: you should try and installing the drivers from synaptic instead of the hardware section.... | 15:56 |
| david__ | i think so | 15:56 |

| annie | ikonia: did u found any thing | 15:58 |
| ikonia | annie: nope, not yet | 15:58 |

| annie | dhruvasagar: i m very very new to linux | 16:00 |
| ali1234 | david__: you need to first disable the old driver: put a line "blacklist ath_pci" into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local | 16:00 |
| ali1234 | david__: then install the backports module and reboot | 16:00 |
| ali1234 | david__: after reboot do "sudo modprobe ath5k" and check dmesg | 16:00 |
| ali1234 | david__: you might need to use ath9k instead | 16:01 |

| IcyPolecat | hi again, now seriously need help with ATI dual head config - I've aticonfiged, tried to use the Catalyst control centre and am still stuck with 2 monitors, seperate X sessions (or looks like) and a res of 1024 x 768 on both... nothing I do seems to affect this and I'm going quietly crazy here. PS if #ubuntu isn't the place to get answers can someone suggest a more appropriate channel? | 16:36 |
| jiffe92 | I have a program I want to make a package of, it is a commercial program that has an install process, I'll need to be able to track what files are created, anyone know a good way to do this? | 16:37 |
| sathyrion | Linux native games can be found in Add/remove in your Programs menu. Shoothers, puzzles and strategy. Or you can run wine/cedega to get windows titles running | 16:37 |
| mib_s1zwxgho | Hello friends I had a problem while configuring network settings in Ibex! Can you guys help me out? | 16:37 |
| Myrtti | jStefan: that's exactly what I mean - launchpad is usually used mainly for ubuntu bugs, but sometimes those bugs aren't transported to the original project. | 16:37 |
| tonyyarusso | jiffe92: Odds are that you aren't legally allowed to do so. | 16:37 |
| Shadoweaver | genii I know I need more ram it is just that I currently can't afford to buy it right now. | 16:37 |
| Aiot | Wizzup: I have several times. I guess its back to windows. I hate to go back AGAIN. Over the past several years I have tried to use linux but I always have Video card issues and I dont know enough to fix them. I had it all working for a few months however got this new laptop and now .... meh | 16:37 |
| sathyrion | Aiot, What GFX Card? | 16:38 |
| Wizzup | Aiot: What is your GFX card name? | 16:38 |
| Aiot | Nvidia 9500m | 16:38 |
| annie | how caniknow my usb hard ware is detectedor not | 16:38 |
| Aiot | its a Dell XPS m1340 | 16:38 |
| jStefan | Myrtti, i think i've identified what i should do, thanks | 16:38 |
| genii | Shadoweaver: Well, at least the box is operational for now, even if extremely slow | 16:39 |
| sathyrion | Aiot, Simple to install it. Type in consol: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 16:39 |
| IcyPolecat | annie: pull up a terminal, plug in the hardware and issue the dmesg command. | 16:39 |
| Shadoweaver | However, how does one set up the virtual memory? | 16:39 |
| Wizzup | annie: Your question is very vague | 16:39 |
| Shadoweaver | True. But it is aggrivating | 16:39 |
| mib_s1zwxgho | Hello friends I had a problem while configuring network settings in Ibex! Can you guys help me out? | 16:39 |

| Aiot | Wizzup: I have tried 180.29 | 16:41 |
| sathyrion | Aiot, From ubuntu repos? | 16:41 |
| Wizzup | Aiot: Darn | 16:41 |
| tonyyarusso | !swap | Shadoweaver | 16:41 |
| ubottu | Shadoweaver: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 16:41 |
| Aiot | no didnt see 180 in the ubuntu repo | 16:41 |

| Shadoweaver | Hopefully J-Un17 it will help to some extent. | 16:42 |
| Aiot | Sathyrion: doing sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 now | 16:42 |
| shadeslayer | J-Un17: i wont help,rather i cant,i have kubuntu | 16:42 |
| sathyrion | Aiot, use: sudo apt-get install nvidia-180-modaliases | 16:42 |
| Aiot | Sathyrion: k will do | 16:43 |
| shadeslayer | mib_s1zwxgho: enable DHCP then | 16:43 |
| Shadoweaver | However, I don't remember having the option of setting up SWAP when I installed xubuntu 2 days ago. | 16:43 |
| shadeslayer | on your router | 16:43 |
| J-Un17 | shadowweaver: yeah, it's one of those things where you need to fix the hardware before fixing the software, but the swap should help out a lil. | 16:43 |
| === root is now known as Guest15697 | ||
| Aiot | Sathyrion: says it cant find package nvidia-glx-180-modaliases | 16:44 |
| J-Un17 | shadoweaver: when you installed it, remember where it asked about your partitions? | 16:44 |
| tonyyarusso | Shadoweaver: If you used to automatic "do everything for me" option you would never have seen it. | 16:44 |
| sathyrion | Aiot, only nvidia-180-modaliases | 16:44 |
| Shadoweaver | Yea | 16:44 |
| [gloom] | I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 from the cd iso (kernel 2.6.27-7). All went fine, LAN worked flawless (RTL8101E/RTL8102E). I just ran the update manager, and it installed among other updates, the new kernel (2.6.27-11) and now I got the interface eth0, but it does not detect when the cable is plugged/unplugged. Any idea about what can be doing this??? Thx | 16:44 |

| Aiot | Sathyrion: k, its done. should I startx or reboot? | 16:45 |
| sathyrion | Aiot, reboot | 16:45 |
| J-Un17 | shadoweaver: DO A MANUAL PARTITION THING, ANd in there you should be able to create the swap then the partition for / | 16:45 |

| SidGBF | Guys... anyone knows where can I find information about Free Software Licenses in a short way? I have no idea where to look for it | 16:45 |
| tonyyarusso | SidGBF: can you be more specific? | 16:45 |

| skeebo_ | Hi guys, I have an external drive with a FAT32 FS running on my ubuntu 8.10 desktop. I was wondering if there is a tool for ubuntu I can use to defrag my external drive? | 16:45 |
| shadeslayer | J-Un17: manual partition thing lol | 16:46 |
| SunnyDP | of course | 16:46 |
| skeebo_ | Or would it be ok to mount my external drive to my windows xp vm and defrag it there? | 16:46 |
| SunnyDP | juts like any other drive !!!1 | 16:46 |
| Shadoweaver | Oh, I do remember seeing that. Do you think it would help to mount my other 10 gig hard drive and set it up for just swap? | 16:46 |
| J-Un17 | shadeslayer: i'm technical like that :P | 16:46 |
| SidGBF | tonyyarusso: I wanted a small paragraph describing it, so I have an idea about wich one I want | 16:46 |
| cdavis | I got a document scanner working with Intrepid, can someone suggest a good Document Manage application? | 16:46 |
| Aiot | Sathyrion: Same thing: cant startx | 16:46 |
| cdavis | I want to save nearly everything I receive in paper format | 16:46 |
| Aiot | Sathyrion: do I need to remove the 177 driver? | 16:46 |
| tonyyarusso | SidGBF: In terms of comparing different licenses, your best options are wikipedia and the OSI site. | 16:46 |
| sathyrion | Aiot, What does the error log say | 16:46 |
| SidGBF | OSI? | 16:47 |

| hatten | hello, i wanna move a bunch of files in a bunch of different folders to another folder, renaming the files with their original folders names. Is that possible to do in a quick way with the terminal? | 17:02 |
| tonyyarusso | hatten: you can probably do it with 'rename'. | 17:03 |
| hatten | give me the full command | 17:03 |
| IcyPolecat | Shadoweaver: yeah as I thought - tbh, adding swap is not going to speed anything up as you'll be thrashing the disk most of the time. I've got to go with the previous recomendation and say you need more RAM - 256MB minimum to get a usable Xubuntu system | 17:03 |
| tonyyarusso | hatten: a little bit of regex and scripting foo will be required. | 17:03 |
| hatten | oh | 17:03 |
| tonyyarusso | hatten: I can give you the pointer, but I'm not going to do the work for you and spoonfeed it to you. | 17:03 |
| hatten | k | 17:04 |
| Shadoweaver | I was afraid of that. So, until I get more RAM, I will be pulling my hair out. Oh well. | 17:04 |

| IcyPolecat | Shadoweaver: I think sometimes people forget that even Xubuntu has a lower threshold below which it's not usable... Shadoweaver there are a couple of things you could try but they'll mean a re-install. | 17:05 |

| wintermu1e | how do I change the ip address in butuntu server (without the graphical tool) | 17:05 |

| Shadoweaver | I am going to read this. BRB Gnea and IcyPolecat | 17:11 |
| IcyPolecat | Shadoweaver: certainly the tips re filesystem and services | 17:11 |
| lithixium | wisnut, Why would you need it? A disto upgrade will get you to the latest 8.04 version anyway | 17:11 |
| DarthPidgin | wisnut, can I ask why you want that specific version? | 17:11 |

| nx9005 | hi i have hp compaq nx9005 notebook. i installed ubuntu 8.10 server edition but i can't use keyboard and mouse help me please | 17:11 |
| wisnut | good question | 17:11 |
| jester7 | ok, here's a strange one. I have an 8.04 server that becomes inaccessible over the network after a random amount of time. you can't ping, ssh, http. all i have to do to get it accessible again is ping out FROM the server itself. any idea what's happening? | 17:12 |
| Shadoweaver | Alright. BRB | 17:12 |
| silv3r_m001 | hi thre | 17:12 |
| lithixium | Wiseguy, Is there an answer? | 17:12 |
| lithixium | wisnut, Is there any answer? | 17:12 |
| DarthPidgin | I'm curious too | 17:12 |
| silv3r_m001 | I installed tomcat from synaptic ... and now how to use it ....localhost:8080 doesnt work | 17:12 |
| lithixium | Wiseguy, sorry, not you | 17:12 |
| === Greyhound is now known as Greyhound- | ||
| Myrtti | wisnut: why do you want specifically 8.04.1 ? | 17:12 |
| wisnut | had students install a vm using 8.04.1, and do some labs that I tested with 8.04.2, which worked flawlessly. Students' vm's kept getting a bunch of errors (perl/cpan related) that we couldn't come up with a consistent fix for, so I wanted to test out their images with a fresh 8.04.1 install. . . . | 17:13 |
| Aiot | Alright All, Thanks for trying to help. I guess its back to windows till I can get some driver support for this laptop | 17:13 |
| Shadoweaver | Hey does this information also include xubuntu or are they pretty much the same? | 17:13 |
| lithixium | nx9005, So you can't login? | 17:13 |
| wisnut | just hoping to reproduce the problem and repair | 17:13 |
| IcyPolecat | Shadoweaver: a lot of it is below the window manager so it will be the same | 17:13 |
| Gnea | Shadoweaver: yeah, it's pretty much all-encompassing | 17:14 |
| DarthPidgin | wisnut, isn't it easier to downgrade the perl/cpan stuff | 17:14 |
| IcyPolecat | Shadoweaver: I'd avoid prelink as it will just put extra load on your system. The EXT3 tips will be useful as will the services / daemons | 17:14 |
| DarthPidgin | + questionmark | 17:14 |
| Shadoweaver | Uhh, okay. | 17:15 |
| tonyyarusso | wisnut: You might still be able to find VMware or VirtualBox images somewhere if you can't find an original ISO. | 17:15 |
| wisnut | DarthPidgin: ran some cpan updates, which worked on about 30% of the computers, the other ones got just a ton of continual errors, and I'm not good enough to troubleshoot the perl stuff well, so just hoping to reproduce and figure it out | 17:16 |
| Gnea | Shadoweaver: but you should experiment and see what works best for your situation | 17:16 |
| lithixium | wisnut, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/release/ seems to have 8.04.1 | 17:16 |
| wisnut | tonyyarusso: good idea - i'll look for some, but have a general lack of trust in getting someone else's vm's | 17:16 |
| tonyyarusso | wisnut: Eh, I don't know that I'd use them for a production server or something, but just to test student work there's no issue. | 17:17 |
| wisnut | lithixium: Awesome! I just couldn't find it. . . .thanks!!!!! | 17:17 |
| DarthPidgin | wisnut, http://isohunt.com/torrents/?ihq=ubuntu+8.04.1 | 17:17 |
| Gnea | Shadoweaver: another thing to consider is memory tuning: http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/r21772995-Perfect-linux-memory-management-accuracy~start=20 | 17:17 |
| Shadoweaver | Alright. Well, what I am going to do is this; I will reinstall xubuntu and load it on my other hardrive, play around with the different install settings and see what works best. | 17:18 |
| wisnut | tonyyarusso: yeah, but what updates did they run before packaging the vm. . . .we started from a scratch install, which is what I'd like to reproduce | 17:18 |
| Shadoweaver | That way I still have one working (to some degree) OS. | 17:18 |
| Shadoweaver | What do you think? | 17:18 |

| Shadoweaver | Oh. I thought it was like yahoo where you could add people of intrest to a list to keep in contact. | 17:22 |
| lithixium | whuffor, flashprayer? :D it's in the standard Ubuntu repos (multiverse I think) | 17:22 |

| Shadoweaver | =) | 17:22 |
| whut | lithixium: Ah, sory, it's just called flashplayer-nonfree | 17:22 |
| thrope | DarthPidgin: yes - there isn't a listing there for this partition | 17:22 |

| fiftyone | hi im trying to register my nic on irc anyone know how to do it? | 17:23 |
| DarthPidgin | you can create a uuid as far as i know | 17:23 |
| thrope | DarthPidgin: and vol_id says unknown volume type | 17:23 |
| Shadoweaver | oh. Kinda like the BBS? | 17:23 |

| Scunizi | thrope: you can "find" uuid's with sudo blkid.. sd fo rthe usb drive, since it has the possibility of mounting off different usb ports that might change the uuid. i don't know | 17:23 |
| DarthPidgin | sounds like a wrong formatted disk | 17:23 |
| Gnea | Shadoweaver: much more advanced than any bbs chat that existed, but yeah, it evolved around the same time period | 17:23 |

| thrope | DarthPidgin: i guess not... :) but i can read and write stuff (just quick test) - guess there could be problems though | 17:24 |
| Stefcho | damn i know it no one will help me :/ | 17:25 |
| DarthPidgin | u can use uuidgen to create a new uuid | 17:25 |
| Jason_CO | Gnea: ok - -did it -- what do you need to see? | 17:25 |
| Shadoweaver | Before I get started on the poking and prodding of the install, what should I be careful of? | 17:25 |
| Gnea | Jason_CO: it's not what i need to see, it's what you need to read - it tells you what that daemon is all about :) | 17:25 |
| Stefcho | :/ | 17:26 |
| thrope | Scunizi: but since it doesn't show up in dev/disk/by-uuid it doesnt mount with uuid in fstab | 17:26 |
| DarthPidgin | thrope, if that doesn't work you can think about automounting with a label | 17:26 |
| Jason_CO | Gnea: im far more concerned about why its burning up 50% - 75% of my processor speed | 17:26 |
| Scunizi | Stefcho: you can repeat your question every few minutes or so.. you've got people waking up and joining from around the world while others are tired and going to bed.. | 17:27 |
| thrope | DarthPidgin: ah that would do - how do I label an fat32 partition? | 17:27 |

| Shadoweaver | Gnea: is there anything that I need to be careful with while playing with the different setting in the installation? | 17:28 |
| thrope | Scunizi: not in this case - it doesnt auto mount or anything, so i just thought id put in fstab | 17:28 |
| Stefcho | i run ircd and between 10 minutes he stops auto can anyone help me ? | 17:28 |
| Scunizi | Stefcho: what you wrote doesn't make any sense.. however if you need ircd assistance that's not directly ubuntu related.. might try in ##linux | 17:28 |

| Scunizi | Stefcho: still .. to get help on a package and how it works or configuration you're at the mercey of finding someone that has done it before.. you might have a better chance at this time period to try ##linux | 17:30 |

| Stefcho | Scunizi ok dude thank u :) | 17:31 |
| Shadoweaver | Did you see my last | 17:31 |
| Gnea | Shadoweaver: basically take your time and try not to get discouraged if you lock your system up once or twice | 17:32 |
| platypus_ | not sure if thats a question for the nvidia folks or something going on with acpid | 17:32 |
| IcyPolecat | Shadoweaver: not really - obviously make sure you're working on the right disk if you're partitioning other than that make sure you patience, and a clock - tweaking can seriously eat into your day | 17:32 |

| skeebo | Does anyone know if it is safe to defrag my FAT32 external drive on my Windows XP VM? I want to make sure before I do it. Any help is much appreciated, thanks. | 17:48 |
| platypus_ | Scunizi, I updated the driver, we'll see if that works | 17:48 |
| platypus_ | thanks for the heads up on the new revision | 17:48 |
| platypus_ | looks like there's quite a bit of bug fixes in the changelog though none that apply to my specific problem | 17:49 |
| dusko | I have did`t in vista, no problem | 17:49 |
| zipper | innociv: if you haven't tried already, there might be an argument to 'du' to show only folders without subfolders | 17:49 |
| innociv | ahh yeah du that's it | 17:49 |
| skeebo | or is there an appropriate channel to ask my question besides here? | 17:49 |
| Pici | dusko: That is a command line interface application. Just run hellanzb from a terminal. | 17:49 |
| platypus_ | skeebo, what's the question | 17:49 |
| skeebo | Does anyone know if it is safe to defrag my FAT32 external drive on my Windows XP VM? I want to make sure before I do it. Any help is much appreciated, thanks. | 17:50 |
| platypus_ | what do you want to defrag it for? | 17:50 |
| zipper | On a fresh install i'm having trouble installing the ATI restricted drivers. The download never gets further than 0%, no errors given. The restricted drivers for b43 installed without problems tho. Any ideas? | 17:50 |
| hbit | Hello guys, I compiled an application and now there's a new version wich I want to upgrade to. Should I uninstall the old version first? if so how? is there a way to just upgrade the new code? | 17:50 |
| platypus_ | zipper, are you behind a proxy? | 17:50 |
| skeebo | because its a FAT32 FS on my external drive, and I'm constantly adding and moving large files | 17:51 |
| skeebo | platypus_: | 17:51 |
| zipper | platypus_: no | 17:51 |
| platypus_ | sorry skeebo i think it'd be ok but im not a windows guy so i hesitate to give bad advice | 17:51 |
| c0p3rn1c | does anyone know a great tool to create business diagrams ? | 17:51 |
| platypus_ | zipper, have you tried adding different mirrors to your apt sources | 17:51 |
| dusko | oki, I`am new :) I don`t know what to write :) | 17:51 |
| zcat[1] | c0p3rn1c, dia ? | 17:51 |
| platypus_ | zipper, are you using a gui package manager or the cli | 17:52 |
| zcat[1] | !info dia | 17:52 |
| ubottu | dia (source: dia): Diagram editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.96.1-7ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 189 kB, installed size 548 kB | 17:52 |
| skeebo | platypus_: dont like windows myself, just have it running on a virtual machine and was hoping its safe to defrag external drives mounted to it is all | 17:52 |
| skeebo | ty though | 17:52 |
| zipper | platypus_: the restricted (multiverse,universe?) repos should be enabled | 17:52 |
| === qwertwgdfsg is now known as absynth | ||
| platypus_ | zipper, perhaps the repo you're using is having an issue | 17:52 |
| zipper | platypus_: i'm using the hardware driver gui thingie. Couldn't figure out which package its trying to fetch | 17:53 |
| zipper | if you know, i might get a proper error message from the cli | 17:53 |
| Scunizi | platypus_: I just installed the latest driver and it's much snappyier than the .22 driver | 17:54 |
| platypus_ | zipper, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Instructions%20for%20Ubuntu%208.04%20(Hardy)%20with%20ATi%208.443.1-1%20and%20above%20binary%20drivers | 17:54 |
| platypus_ | try that | 17:54 |
| platypus_ | its a manual way outside the repo | 17:54 |
| platypus_ | it might help you narrow down your problem | 17:54 |
| platypus_ | Scunizi, it seems to draw windows much better, you are correct | 17:55 |
| bpatterson_ | I'm running nfs-user-server in Ubuntu 8.10 (i386) and trying to mount a share on an ubuntu 8.04 (x64) server. I get an access denied error. Relevant files: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117353/ | 17:55 |
| platypus_ | there is not as much of a lag when dragging windows either | 17:55 |
| zcat[1] | Just a quick question about deb packages (I know, I should probably research this but it's only a quick question) .. they contain 'pre-install/post-install' scripts, right? And they're run as root. If someone were to make a 'malicious' package and convince another user to install it, is there anything in the package management that prevents these scripts from doing 'malicious' actions? | 17:55 |
| alesan | hi where can I ask about the Ubuntu for ARM? | 17:55 |
| uni4dfx | why doesn't this command execute if i put it in /etc/rc.local: echo -en "\xf0\x00\x20\x21\x61\x00\x00\x00\x7f\x00\xf7" > /dev/snd/midiC0D1 | 17:56 |
| Scunizi | platypus_: that's what I notice, for me almost doubled the screen writes.. performance now is close to what I expect on a mid level dual core w/ 4 gigs of ram | 17:56 |
| mgolisch | zcat[1]: dont think so | 17:56 |
| platypus_ | Scunizi, i'm just on this default issued craptacular work workstation and it's noticeably better, i hate this video card too | 17:56 |
| mgolisch | zcat[1]: basicaly those are just shellscripts | 17:56 |
| Scunizi | zcat[1]: nope.. because you authorized it with sudo | 17:57 |
| zipper | platypus_: i went to that guide already, and it doesnt really explain which package the hardware driver tool is trying to get. I'd prefer to use the repos for this as i dont need great performance or bleeding edge functionality | 17:57 |
| fomder | Hi everyone. Im having a lot of trouble. I use ubuntu 8.10 and just uninstalled firestarter firewall and then reboot my pc. Now my ineternet connection doesnt work. ifconfig shows i have a valid ip but no data transfer works, firefox, im applications, voip apps, etc. Could anyone please help ? thanks | 17:57 |
| Scunizi | platypus_: which card do you have? | 17:57 |
| platypus_ | zipper, well unfortunately the gui isnt showing you what is going wrong | 17:57 |
| platypus_ | Scunizi, some nvidia quadro fx series with the proprietary dongle that has two monitor outs | 17:58 |
| mgolisch | fomder: does iptables --list output anything interesting? | 17:58 |
| whut | I was installing a package using sudo apt-get install <name>, but the downloading was interrupted. Now, every time I try to do sudo apt-get install <name>, it uses that faulty .deb package. How can I force apt-get to re-download the package? | 17:59 |
| platypus_ | zipper, what kind of card do you get | 17:59 |
| platypus_ | get = have | 17:59 |
| uni4dfx | anyone know why echo commands won't execute from rc.local ? | 17:59 |
| JoelDrapper | Hey, Can someone help me with a wireless problem? | 17:59 |
| Scunizi | platypus_: ah.. I have a board with the nvidia 8200 chipset and onboard video.. with 177 driver I could have beat screen writes with a 7 year old celeron, 180.11 got better and .22 better still.. .29 well you see the difference. well worth installing. | 17:59 |
| fomder | mgolische, ill paste it somewhere, thanks | 17:59 |
| platypus_ | cool | 17:59 |
| zipper | platypus_: radeon 200M, laptop card | 18:00 |
| mgolisch | whut: delete it from the package download cache.. should be /var/cache/apt/something | 18:00 |
| JoelDrapper | I'm very new to ubuntu, I've installed the hardware drivers, but it keeps asking me for a password, and then not accepting it. | 18:00 |
| mgolisch | JoelDrapper: what password? | 18:00 |
| JoelDrapper | for the wireless network | 18:00 |
| JoelDrapper | Even after I disabled the wep password on the network | 18:01 |
| mgolisch | JoelDrapper: probably you entered it wrong or selected the wrong encryption/key type | 18:01 |
| fomder | mgolisch http://pastebin.com/d355bdbb5 | 18:01 |
| absynth | whut: try #apt-get -f install this should fix brocken packages and stuff | 18:01 |
| platypus_ | zipper, what ati card do you have | 18:01 |
| DarthPidgin | JoelDrapper, you can add yourt username to the sudoers list when you log in as root | 18:01 |
| mgolisch | fomder: try sudo iptables -F and see if iptables --list looks different after that | 18:01 |
| mgolisch | fomder: id it does try if your internets works then | 18:02 |
| zipper | platypus_: a radeon 200M, a laptop card | 18:02 |
| whut | absynth: Thanks. | 18:02 |
| JoelDrapper | Why would it still ask for a password even if there wasn't one? | 18:03 |
| JoelDrapper | And the light won't turn on at the front of my computer. | 18:03 |
| mgolisch | JoelDrapper: it probably didnt detect that change yet | 18:03 |
| tARrAScH | Hello, Is there any good reason that the latest verson of OO.org isn't in the repos? I can understand we waited for 3.0.1. But what's the delay now? Is it a good idea to upgrade manually? | 18:03 |
| JoelDrapper | I've restarted, and tried this several times | 18:03 |
| PMEDUB | Need Ndiswrapper help. can anyone help me find the windows driver for my card? I am going crazy ;( | 18:03 |
| mgolisch | PMEDUB: look at their wiki | 18:03 |
| fomder | mgolisch, cleared ip tables, still no luck though | 18:04 |
| lithixium | tARrAScH, I doubt there are any *good* reasons | 18:04 |
| fomder | is a reboot necessary mgolisch | 18:04 |
| uni4dfx | right, i'll just go spam the forum then | 18:04 |
| mgolisch | JoelDrapper: see if networkmanager saved a profile for that network and delete it | 18:04 |
| mgolisch | fomder: what doesnt work? | 18:04 |
| platypus_ | zipper_, apparently there is a big following on the net for support for the 200m | 18:05 |
| mgolisch | fomder: check if its name resolution or realy the connections beeing blocked | 18:05 |
| JoelDrapper | I went into the wireless troubleshooting guide in the help files, and when I do this command, sudo lshw -C network, it doesn't show any status of the wireless driver. | 18:05 |
| tARrAScH | lithixium: Ok, it's both upparts and downparts. But do you think the repos will be updated soon anyway? | 18:05 |
| mib | anyone can suggest me a good messenger which i could use for chatting+viewing webcam + sending file on ubuntu | 18:05 |
| platypus_ | as the only people who have gotten it to work are using non supported drivers for that card | 18:05 |
| fomder | mgolisch my internet.. Sorry i didnt understand what i should do /check next? | 18:05 |
| zipper_ | platypus_: sorry bout that, got disconnected. Wierd, b43 was pretty stable under arch. Its a radeon 200m. | 18:05 |
| JoelDrapper | mgolisch: I'll try that | 18:05 |
| DarthPidgin | mib, pidgin! | 18:05 |
| mib | DarthPidgin | 18:05 |
| mib | i used pidgin but it can only support chatting at the moment | 18:06 |
| zipper_ | platypus_: cool, thats good to know. I'll try another repo first, might be as simple as the repo being offline (as you said earlier) | 18:06 |
| JoelDrapper | I can't find the network manager now | 18:06 |
| JoelDrapper | is there a way to run it again? | 18:06 |
| lithixium | tARrAScH, It'll probably go into backports eventually, but I would say it's low priority | 18:06 |
| i0n_696 | Has anyone messed with the Asus Netbooks? | 18:06 |
| DarthPidgin | mib, cam sorry didn't read well. Euh... don't really dare to say it here... skype | 18:06 |
| mgolisch | fomder: try ping google.com, does it resolve to an ip address? if not try telnet 209.85.171.100 80 and see if that connects | 18:06 |
| alexxandros | heloo | 18:06 |

| platypus_ | yeah it is awhile ago :P | 18:11 |

| neoblackdragon | salve a tutti? ho un problemino posso? | 18:33 |
| dayo2 | Spellweaver: i've disabled pulseaudio, rather than installing. one things i've noticed, and reproduced partially just now, was this: after using rhythmbox, when i come back out of Suspend, rbox crashes | 18:33 |
| Jussel | Not really, I'm pretty new to Ubuntu | 18:33 |
| arvind_khadri | mib... what do you want to do? | 18:33 |
| Jussel | Since Spellweaver left, here my question again. | 18:33 |
| neoblackdragon | italian? | 18:33 |
| Jussel | My soundcard isn't working as I want to. I do have sound out my Laptop boxes, but not through my Headphone. Enabled everything on the mixer... Ubuntu version: 8.04 Desktop // Soundcard: Realtek ALC660-VD -- Anyone knows the solution? | 18:33 |
| dayo2 | Spellweaver: as a matter of fact *all* sound is gone. force-quitting rbox and restarting doesn't help. | 18:33 |
| wikkedfin | Does any know if Ubuntu comes with an App to make Greeting Cards? | 18:33 |
| lore20 | neoblackdragon: ==> #ubuntu-it | 18:34 |
| mib | arvind, i have an extra partition to be mounted as a drive .previously i did edit the fstab but upon restarting my pc, i couldnt access to that drive. | 18:34 |
| Jussel | Anyone? =l | 18:34 |
| mib | now i cant recall how to check the exact path of the partition that i wanted to mount to | 18:34 |
| dayo2 | Spellweaver: but now after disabling pulse and setting to alsa, coming back from Suspend still finds a crashed rbox, but restarting rbox helps, and other sounds are still available. | 18:34 |
| dayo2 | wikkedfin: gimp | 18:34 |

| mib | Oceah: i mean do i add this extra line or removing the previouly last line with /dev/sda2 /media/storage ext3 users,exec,rw,umask=000 0 0? | 18:51 |
| jussel | diginux: options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=lenovo only? | 18:51 |
| oCean_ | mib: you cannot have duplicate entries in /etc/fstab. | 18:51 |
| oCean_ | mib: change your options in that line. change 'users ... 000' in 'defaults' | 18:51 |
| diginux | jussel: remove the line i had you put before, then add this line: options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=lenovo | 18:52 |
| oCean_ | _2: well, I did not mean to offend. The fstab line was pasted a couple of lines back | 18:52 |
| diginux | jussel: right after that, put this 2nd line: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel | 18:52 |
| LeoWei | fosco__ dont have too...this one so complicated.. download the files from freedns.afraid.org | 18:52 |

| lechon | mp3guy, look into crontab | 18:55 |
| oCean_ | mib: aha. | 18:55 |
| mib | ocean: so you mean previous entry in fstab has problem | 18:55 |
| mib | ? | 18:55 |
| DoYouKnow | so any ideas on how I can connect to a host attached via nat through vinagre? | 18:55 |
| mib | instead of having users,exec... we use defaults | 18:55 |
| lechon | intmed, just google for "wine + game title", you'll have better luck | 18:55 |
| burkmat | DoYouKnow, You're probably going to need port forwarding (vinagre is a VNC Client, right?) | 18:56 |
| _2 | mib your line in fstab should look like this "/dev/sda2 /media/storage ext3 defaults 0 0" | 18:56 |
| whut | apt-get would install a package that is corrupt (aborted download) no matter what I do. I tried so far apt-get clean, apt-get --purge remove <packagename>, apt-get autoclean. Nothing works. What should I do? | 18:56 |
| jussel | diginux: Guess it isn't working. | 18:56 |

| tharis20 | people, I'm trying to install mono here, but when I type apt-get mono it says: "install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables" | 18:57 |
| oCean_ | mib: it's the umask thing | 18:57 |
| jussel | diginux: Asus X53S | 18:57 |
| _2 | mib first of all "?mask" is M# specific. it will not work with other file system, namely those that actually have permissions bits. | 18:57 |
| tharis20 | I've installed a bunch of mono-something packs and used synaptic for others and nothing... | 18:57 |
| mib | oh | 18:57 |
| jussel | diginux: or a Asus X53 (same model, but another name for it :P ) | 18:57 |
| oCean_ | mib: that's for ntfs/vfat | 18:57 |
| mib | so umask doesnt work with ext3 in this case | 18:58 |
| oCean_ | mib: indeed | 18:58 |
| _2 | mib not in any case | 18:58 |

| DoYouKnow | burkmat, I tried uncommenting out the line in sysctl for NAT, that says something like ip forward | 18:59 |
| jussel | dixinux: Actually I never tried that. I knew that my sound wasn't working, so I thought lets try my headphones, but no luck. | 18:59 |
| mikeyyy | taz: type wine --version | 18:59 |
| jussel | diginux: The strange thing is that my normal boxes on my laptop are working, just the headphone isn't. | 18:59 |
| tharis20 | hey, can somebody help me? | 18:59 |
| jussel | diginux: and the sound of my normal boxes are crap, so that why I want to use a headphone | 18:59 |
| burkmat | DoYouKnow, Uhm... Am I understanding you correctly that you're trying to connect to a host which is located behind a NATed router? | 18:59 |
| DoYouKnow | burkmat, the link I was reading said it was for nat, anyway. that's what spawned this weird issue where I can access http internet sites but not the local vnc | 18:59 |
| taz | where i will tpye wine -- version ?? | 18:59 |
| DoYouKnow | burkmat, yes | 18:59 |
| DoYouKnow | a router running ubuntu | 19:00 |
| tharis20 | taz, in the console | 19:00 |
| mib | thanks anyway Ocean and 2_ | 19:00 |
| mikeyyy | taz: press alt+F2, type xterm. In xterm, type wine --version | 19:00 |
| erUSUL | !ask | tharis20 | 19:00 |
| ubottu | tharis20: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 19:00 |
| _2 | mib welcome | 19:00 |
| taz | ok stand by and will try | 19:00 |
| Mba7eth | how can i extract default gateway showed by I have issue route -n command on ubuntu .... but i want to extract default gateway using awk ? how to do that ? | 19:00 |
| naxa | Gnea: i mean i want to know how would locale -a know what to answer. to me it seems that these are some files on my hard disk or some text in config files. i would like to know how it gets the answer for me, not what is the answer, what i know of course | 19:00 |
| tharis20 | erUSUL, I asked the question | 19:00 |
| DoYouKnow | burkmat, I just want my lan routed to my ethernet, so I can plug both my ethernet and a pc into a hub | 19:00 |
| tharis20 | nobody replied me | 19:00 |
| DoYouKnow | *wlan | 19:01 |
| erUSUL | tharis20: i see it know ;P | 19:01 |
| diginux | jussel: one more idea | 19:01 |
| jussel | diginux: Yeh? :) | 19:01 |
| absynth | OriWB: ok, im ready :) | 19:01 |

| diginux | jussel: you know how to use synaptic? | 19:01 |
| Gnea | naxa: aah, the best way to do that is to examine the source | 19:01 |
| jussel | diginux: I'm pretty new to Ubuntu. so not really | 19:02 |
| taz | mikeyyy it appear with run application.. then what i will do type in ??? | 19:02 |

| DoYouKnow | burkmat, so far I have just uncommented net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 | 19:02 |
| Gnea | naxa: if you have deb-src identified in your sources.list, just: sudo apt-get source belocs-locales-bin | 19:02 |
| Gnea | naxa: perhaps I misunderstood your question again :) | 19:02 |
| DoYouKnow | burkmat, will that not work? | 19:03 |
| naxa | will try it | 19:03 |
| burkmat | DoYouKnow, That's a bad idea... Means you won't be forwarding any traffic through the router. ^^ | 19:03 |
| OriWB | absynth: but i made a discovery.My internet only really gets wierdly disconnected when I'm downloading movies | 19:03 |
| tharis20 | erUSUL, so, I'm trying to run a Win app with wine, but it replies what I said... | 19:03 |
| absynth | OriWB: hmm | 19:03 |
| erUSUL | tharis20: well if its under wine... you will have to install the windows version of mono in wine | 19:03 |
| absynth | OriWB: is your signal strength good ? | 19:03 |
| naxa | Gnea: i would like to understand the basics of the "locale" system: what files does locale use and what config files it has and what's it's main 3 export LC_ALL and so for? | 19:03 |
| tharis20 | erUSUL, oh, stupid, of course | 19:04 |
| erUSUL | tharis20: dunno if it works or not | 19:04 |
| burkmat | DoYouKnow, Take a look here: http://tinyurl.com/3jc2sp Shows you how to forward a connection through the NAT box. | 19:04 |
| tharis20 | xD | 19:04 |
| OriWB | absynth: eah | 19:04 |
| taz | mikeyyy .. seem not work | 19:04 |

| burkmat | DoYouKnow, Gotta run now, sorry. Will be back in a while though. Good luck. | 19:04 |
| diginux | jussel: try this, sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-16-386 | 19:04 |
| absynth | OriWB: just put mouseicon above wlan-networkmanager icon and wait | 19:04 |
| mikeyyy | taz: Have you installed wine? | 19:04 |
| taz | yes | 19:04 |
| Gnea | naxa: ah okay, then yes, the source will explain and show you how all of it works | 19:04 |
| taz | in applications | 19:04 |
| OriWB | absynth: i dont understand | 19:04 |
| jussel | diginux: Doing that right now, thanks =) | 19:04 |
| absynth | OriWB: it should give you the name and behind it in brackets, the signal strength in percent | 19:04 |
| diginux | jussel: after its done installing, reboot again, and let me know | 19:04 |
| naxa | Gnea: well, if i can understand the source :) | 19:05 |
| jussel | diginux: Thanks, I will =) | 19:05 |
| taz | miketyyy yes it from add and remove | 19:05 |
| OriWB | absynth: ok | 19:05 |
| absynth | OriWB: move your mouse on the internet icon | 19:05 |
| OriWB | absynth: ok | 19:05 |
| Gnea | naxa: look for readme's and .c and .h files :) they usually have comments in them that explain, more or less, what they do | 19:05 |
| absynth | OriWB: and wait | 19:05 |
| OriWB | absynth: ok | 19:05 |
| DoYouKnow | burkmat, ok, I found a site. thanks | 19:05 |
| naxa | Gnea: I see thanks :) | 19:05 |
| mikeyyy | taz: You want to know what version of wine you currently used right? | 19:05 |
| absynth | OriWB: it should report you your connection and the signal strength | 19:06 |
| taz | mikeyyy yes | 19:06 |
| Gnea | naxa: for instance: less belocs-locales-bin-2.4/locale/programs/locale.c | 19:06 |
| OriWB | absynth: yeah it is | 19:06 |
| jussel | diginux: Rebooting now ;) brb. | 19:06 |
| absynth | OriWB: the problem is, under 60% , it could be possible that u loose the connection sometimes | 19:06 |
| OriWB | absynth: no its 92 | 19:06 |
| absynth | OriWB: hmm good, better then mine ^^ | 19:06 |
| OriWB | absynth: lol we were getting me manually connected | 19:07 |
| _2 | any way to connect the keyboard and mouse of one box to the xserver of another box ? | 19:07 |
| Gnea | naxa: it might not make a whole lot of sense right away, but if you can follow and understand the comments, you should be able to figure it out :) | 19:07 |
| naxa | i hope so :) | 19:07 |
| mikeyyy | taz: go to applications --> terminal --> and type wine --version in terminal. Tell me what it says | 19:07 |
| absynth | OriWB:yep, but i think this doesnt make it better | 19:07 |
| Gnea | _2: physically, in the same room, or remotely? | 19:07 |
| OriWB | absynth: ok | 19:07 |
| OriWB | absynth: so heres another question | 19:07 |
| taz | ok stand by | 19:07 |
| naxa | now i have to go couse it is late here and i am tired | 19:07 |
| naxa | thanks for help! | 19:07 |
| naxa | bye! | 19:07 |
| OriWB | absynth: how do i download without risking losing my connection? | 19:08 |
| _2 | Gnea dmz lan and i can see the display of the other box from where i am | 19:08 |
| absynth | OriWB: when i understand you right, you have a connection with your AP and you have internet | 19:08 |
| OriWB | absynth: whats ap? | 19:08 |
| Gnea | _2: i would suggest either a KVM or freenx | 19:08 |
| absynth | OriWB: hmm i try to think, wich problem could cause this problem | 19:08 |
| mib | hi, if i wrre to use/install Wine, can it be installable on my ext3 drive? | 19:08 |
| SunnyDP | access-point | 19:08 |
| SunnyDP | wi-fi router ! | 19:09 |
| taz | i found it said 1.0.1 | 19:09 |
| _2 | Gnea i'm not wanting to put the display of the other box on this one, just control that one from here | 19:09 |
| absynth | OriWB: Access Point | 19:09 |
| absynth | OriWB: your wlan router | 19:09 |
| OriWB | absynth: yeah i have both | 19:09 |
| mikeyyy | taz: yup. that's the version you currently use | 19:09 |
| Gnea | !freenx | _2 | 19:09 |
| ubottu | _2: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 19:09 |
| mikeyyy | taz: it's the latest stable version of wine | 19:09 |
| _2 | Gnea ;/ | 19:09 |
| jussel | diginux: I think that it isn't working. | 19:09 |
| Gnea | _2: it can be a bit tricky to setup, but it works | 19:09 |
| Gnea | _2: what? | 19:09 |
| intmed | what is ubuntu repository | 19:10 |
| taz | that mean old verson or new ?? | 19:10 |
| OriWB | absynth: someone told me that i get disconnected if there are too many connections, and mentioned bittorent | 19:10 |
| jussel | diginux: But I got a application named 'PulseAudio Device Chooser' now. | 19:10 |
| absynth | OriWB: so, you have internet, and when you want to download large files, your connection brakes | 19:10 |
| jussel | diginux: Maybe I can something with that? | 19:10 |
| OriWB | absynth: exactly | 19:10 |
| mikeyyy | taz: The newest version. Currently 1.1.4 is in development | 19:10 |
| diginux | jussel: hmm, could be, see what it does :) | 19:10 |
| Gnea | _2: you said you want to control the remote display | 19:10 |
| taz | how i can upgrade ?? | 19:10 |
| diginux | jussel: my next suggestion is to upgrade to ububtu 8.10 | 19:10 |
| absynth | OriWB: what do you mean with too many connections? | 19:10 |
| jussel | diginux: how? :P | 19:11 |
| _2 | Gnea without piping it to this display | 19:11 |
| OriWB | absynth: i can sheck exactly what he wrote me, just a sec | 19:11 |
| mikeyyy | taz: it's the latest version. You can't update it unless 1.1.4 (stable) came up | 19:11 |
| absynth | OriWB: ok | 19:11 |
| Gnea | _2: then use a KVM. | 19:11 |
| taz | ok it will itself upgrade ?? | 19:11 |
| _2 | k | 19:11 |
| diginux | jussel: hold on | 19:12 |
| jussel | diginux: thanks again :) | 19:12 |
| mikeyyy | taz: No | 19:12 |
| Gnea | _2: next time, please be more specific when you ask :) | 19:12 |
| OriWB | abzynth: "and it only happens when I have too many connections at one time (hint: bittorrent)" | 19:12 |

| OriWB | absynth: "and it only happens when I have too many connections at one time (hint: bittorrent)" | 19:13 |
| mikeyyy | hi guys, i got a problem here. need ur help. i installed cedega and launch the program. Cedega try to connect to internet to find the update but it failed because im behind proxy. how can i configure my ubuntu so that all the applications will connect through a proxy? Need help. Plzzzzzzz | 19:14 |
| _2 | "any way to connect the keyboard and mouse of one box to the xserver of another box ?" <<< i should have added "without exporting the vidio of the remote box" i susssssposes | 19:14 |
| OriWB | absynth: does that help at all? | 19:14 |
| taz | mikeyyy i read in website http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=6131 | 19:15 |
| taz | look at verison | 19:15 |
| absynth | OriWB: I dont see, why bittorent and other stuff like that could effect your wlan connection, it makes no sense (to me) | 19:15 |
| MonsieurY | want to test ekiga ? sip:*201393514@ekiga.net | 19:15 |
| jussel | diginux: It's updating now :-) | 19:15 |

| gwennn | Hi! I have a problem with compiz ... I must run it manually when I login "sudo compiz" and then everything runs fine.How can I enable compiz? | 19:15 |
| OriWB | absynth: too many connections doesnt make sense? | 19:15 |
| _2 | absynth unless the host is setup to drop connections that use torrents | 19:16 |
| OriWB | absynth: oh, he also said "you on bittorrent? I think you're router has a built-in setting that disconnects you when you have too many connection" | 19:16 |
| intmed | gwennn: i have also that problem | 19:16 |
| diginux | jussel: very good, hopefully in the newer version it works! | 19:16 |
| gwennn | intmed : jaunty? | 19:16 |
| jussel | Would be great :) | 19:16 |
| absynth | OriWB: You have only 1 connection with your AP, when you load files from different places, then the datapackges are queued | 19:17 |
| absynth | OriWB: Ok , that could be possible | 19:17 |
| OriWB | absynth: do you know how i can check? | 19:17 |
| absynth | OriWB: that your router disables your connection | 19:17 |
| mikeyyy | taz: yes.. it is list of cross loop version. Why? | 19:17 |
| MonsieurY | nobody want to to test ekiga ? | 19:18 |
| absynth | OriWB: do you know your gateway address? | 19:18 |
| OriWB | yeah | 19:18 |
| MonsieurY | is there any directory of this ? | 19:18 |
| OriWB | absynth: yeah | 19:18 |
| taz | mine is 1.0.1 | 19:18 |
| _2 | MonsieurY i don't test anything i can't pronounce | 19:18 |
| absynth | ok, just type the gateway address in your browser | 19:18 |
| OriWB | absynth: im in | 19:18 |
| mikeyyy | taz: it 'cross loop' version. not 'wine'.. | 19:18 |
| MonsieurY | _2: why it's integrate in your os ubuntu ? | 19:19 |
| MonsieurY | ekiga | 19:19 |
| MonsieurY | :D | 19:19 |
| OriWB | absynth: its a siemens, if that helps | 19:19 |
| absynth | OriWB: ok, then , just look, after an option, that looks like our problem :D | 19:19 |
| absynth | OriWB: never had one :( , only fritzbox and orangef things | 19:19 |
| Taure | Hiya, I'm looking for help with playing DVDs. I've got the restricted extras, and have used sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh to allow for encrypted DVDs, but when they play they flicker. I've tried this in both totem and VLC. I've also used the dmesg | grep ata command to check my DMA - it's enabled. Any tips? | 19:20 |
| Taure | (I'm a noob - only installed on tuesday) | 19:20 |
| absynth | OriWB: maybe goolge after it | 19:20 |
| absynth | OriWB: google* | 19:20 |
| OriWB | absynth: ok | 19:20 |
| OriWB | absynth: thanx alot, i'll let you know if it works. Or you'll know it didnt if i sign off ;) | 19:21 |
| absynth | OriWB: but, if this is really your problem, then you should be connected to your AP all the time, you just have no internet connection sometimes | 19:21 |
| === zehzinho is now known as zehzinho_ | ||
| mzz | Taure: do only dvds flicker or does other stuff you play in totem do the same thing? | 19:21 |
| Taure | I'll test | 19:21 |
| absynth | OriWB: ok | 19:21 |
| absynth | OriWB: :) | 19:21 |
| mzz | Taure: also, what video card do you have and are desktop effects enabled? | 19:21 |
| OriWB | absynth: i think thats what happens, its beginning to make sense now | 19:21 |
| === spych3r is now known as ryanCH | ||
| OriWB | absynth: talk to you later ;) | 19:22 |
| absynth | OriWB: good :) the solution is near, i can feel it :D | 19:22 |
| absynth | OriWB: ok | 19:22 |
| MonsieurY | sip:*201393514@ekiga.net | 19:22 |
| Taure | Only DVDs, yeah | 19:23 |
| Taure | I have ATI HD 2400 | 19:23 |
| Taure | And I've got compiz running | 19:23 |
| mzz | Taure: which drivers is that using, the binary (fglrx) ones or the open (radeon) ones? There are some known problems with fglrx and xv video | 19:23 |
| Taure | fglrx | 19:24 |

| Slart | Hello everyone.. I have some text files edited on a windows computer and I need to make them work nicely on my ubuntu machine.. some of the international characters isn't the same but linefeeds and newlines are still working.. there has to be some kind of converter I can use.. any hints? | 19:24 |
| thrashold | Is there any image viewer for Ubuntu supporting jpeg2k? | 19:24 |
| mzz | Taure: if that's your problem I'd expect it to happen for pretty much everything you play with vlc or mplayer unless you either switch to the radeon driver, disable compiz or switch from xv to x11/xshm for video playback (slow) | 19:24 |
| Taure | I'll disable compiz and see if that helps | 19:24 |
| mzz | Slart: many of them, and do you know the encoding they're currently using? | 19:25 |
| mzz | Slart: gedit actually has a "Character Coding" option in its load and save dialogs. Or you can use something like iconv if you prefer the command line. | 19:25 |
| Slart | mzz: what windows xp create by default =).. I can see if enca has anything wise to say about it | 19:26 |
| thrashold | How do you disable compiz in Ubuntu? | 19:26 |
| Taure | Haha I was just thinking that | 19:26 |
| intmed | me too | 19:26 |
| mzz | disable desktop effects in the "appearance" preferences applet | 19:26 |
| fosco__ | thrashold, go to desktop effects and select none | 19:26 |
| voed22cj | Hi everyone. One question: I have ubuntu installed on my laptop and I have a problem regarding the SOUND. When I plug the headphones in, still, the sound comes out through the laptop speakers as well. This didn't happen in Windows. Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks | 19:26 |
| thrashold | fosco_: Where is this? Could find it | 19:26 |
| thrashold | s/Could/Couldn't/ | 19:27 |
| fosco__ | system - preferences - appearance | 19:27 |
| Taure | Success! | 19:27 |
| Taure | Disabling effects makes it work | 19:27 |
| Slart | mzz: enca didn't recognize it.. file says it's a "Non-ISO extended-ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators" | 19:27 |
| Taure | Thanks | 19:27 |
| SiDi | Hello voed22cj, what audio card do you have ? if you have an HDA intel you'll just have to add a line in a conf and it shall be fixed ;) | 19:27 |
| Slart | mzz: I'll give gedit a try, thanks | 19:27 |
| gautada | Help a weird key combination just made gnome go from gray to a black. This is just the gnome panel my background is still the same. It looks like film negative. The keys were some combination of <Ctrl>, <Super>, <Alt>, <Space>, <V>, and/or <B>. How do I get gnome back to normal? | 19:27 |
| yoophglup | hello | 19:27 |
| KaptenRodSkagg | voed22cj, if you mute system sound the music player should sound in the headphones only... | 19:28 |
| SiDi | voed22cj: may you type ' lspci | grep -i "audio" ' in a terminal and paste the output ? | 19:28 |
| mzz | Slart: what windows (notepad?) saved it as may depend on what locale windows thinks you're in | 19:28 |
| Slart | mzz: it's actually matlab .. but I guess that editor is as smart as notepad | 19:28 |
| Cpudan80 | Hello all | 19:28 |
| Cpudan80 | Is there some way to download the deb out of apt-get? | 19:28 |
| hatten | how do you make so that you hear sounds from both the speakers and the headphones plugged in into the front? | 19:28 |
| mzz | Slart: and it's pretty much impossible for tools (like file) to reliably detect the encoding if it's one of the one-byte-per-codepoint ones | 19:28 |
| zupb | hi, gusy. i try to mount my MMC flash card to my ubuntu... what device in /dev i must use for it? | 19:28 |
| voed22cj | sure | 19:29 |
| SiDi | Cpudan80: on packages.ubuntu.com there are every packages of the repo | 19:29 |
| gwennn | I must run compiz manually ...sudo compiz at login How can I enable it automatically? | 19:29 |
| SiDi | Cpudan80: there also are a lot of packages on launchpad.net's PPA, and some websites provide deb packages for their soft (such as winehq) | 19:29 |
| Slart | mzz: yup.. I know | 19:29 |
| hatten | system>preferences>sessions, gwenn | 19:29 |

| yoophglup | Hey, I am trying to reconfigure my audio ports so the mic and the line in are used as line outs. I can do this in windows but having trouble getting it to work with ubuntu??? any ideas? | 19:30 |
| gwennn | hatten; I have jaunty | 19:30 |
| SiDi | gwennn: go to System -> Administration -> Sessions and add "compiz --replace &" but it should actually start up on its own if you enable it once | 19:30 |
| gwennn | it did't work | 19:30 |
| KaptenRodSkagg | hatten, just plug in the headphones... and you have sound in both... or shuld have | 19:30 |
| hatten | oh, nvm then | 19:30 |
| hatten | no | 19:30 |
| hatten | the sound stops in my speakers when i plug in my headphones | 19:30 |
| gwennn | thanks | 19:30 |
| SiDi | ok voed22cj give me a second to find the tutorial again. By the way, type my name when you type a message so i can spot it more easily | 19:30 |
| gwennn | I'll try | 19:30 |
| mzz | gwennn: "sudo compiz" does not make much sense. Is it not working as "you" even when you run it manually? If yes the problem may be with your user's compiz configuration, not with how it is started. | 19:30 |

| serfers | Hey everyone. Im having a bit of trouble. im trying to make an app listen on a certain port for connections. However, when i open the app, it says that tht port is already in use. Is there any way i can see whats using it and kill it or delete an iptabl rule or somthing? thanks | 20:15 |
| nanotube | prone: then install the libstdc++5 package from the repos. | 20:15 |
| adaptr | serfers: first you'd need to know what is using it: netstat -plnt |grep portnumber | 20:16 |
| nanotube | serfers: "sudo netstat -plantu" will show you all processes listening on ports | 20:16 |
| dayo2 | prone: are u installing blender from source? | 20:16 |
| fedormorozov | hello | 20:17 |
| burkmat | Hello fedormorozov. | 20:17 |
| serfers | adaptr and nanotube thanks a lot. the process is vmnet-natd | 20:17 |
| serfers | can i just kill it with the system monitor? | 20:17 |
| alex87 | hey guys, i just installed the virtualbox version from their website, but now i don't seem to have it installed at all, any ideas? | 20:17 |
| fedormorozov | please, if someone could help me, I installed Ubuntu 7.10 and my wireless does not connect to any wifi. It detects it, but does not connects. | 20:17 |
| serfers | adaptr and nanotube, i cant see vmnet-natd in the system monitor... | 20:18 |
| nanotube | serfers: it seems to be a vmware process that is uses for nat networking... sure you can kill it, assuming you don't need network in vmware at the time... | 20:18 |
| adaptr | serfers: you would kill vmware networking on any runnin gvmware guests | 20:18 |
| prone | dayo2: hmm... from a CD that came with a book about the program. | 20:18 |
| invisibleNinja | alex87, type sudo VirtualBox | 20:18 |
| dayo2 | prone: try this instead: `sudo aptitude install blender` | 20:18 |
| serfers | adaptr, thats ok for now, i just dont know how to kill it if i dont see it in the system monitor | 20:18 |
| prone | dayo2: I just unpacked it and started from terminal | 20:18 |
| mustangg | uck - sorry I need to ask again... but: where does the installer grab the hostname for the network configuration stage of install. | 20:18 |
| invisibleNinja | do may have to do a restart to see it in the application list | 20:18 |
| nanotube | serfers: in system monitor, make sure to select "show all processes" | 20:18 |
| nanotube | serfers: or kill it from the terminal using pkill or kill | 20:19 |
| adaptr | serfers: killall vmnet-natd | 20:19 |
| sara_ | lmao i love the facebook addon for pidgin you can collect really personal infomation on people | 20:19 |
| fedormorozov | anybody knows why could happen that? It worked perfectly in the previous version of ubuntu | 20:19 |
| dayo2 | prone: it's always better to use apt and avoid installing from source. apt takes care of the dependencies for u | 20:19 |
| prone | dayo2: cool, thanks | 20:19 |
| alex87 | invisibleNinja: thanks! your a lifesaver | 20:20 |
| nanotube | fedormorozov: well, first an easy question - try the latest release of ubuntu (8.10) ? | 20:20 |
| decembre | hello | 20:20 |
| fedormorozov | yes, sorry, it is 8.10 not 7.10 | 20:20 |

| int256 | ^hashbang^: thanks for helping me to solve my problems. | 20:22 |
| decembre | I have a small server for me only | 20:22 |
| serfers | adaptr and nanotube thanks a million, its all good now | 20:22 |
| decembre | should I keep it in LTS or upgrade ? | 20:22 |
| decembre | whereas I have bugs in 8.04 ! | 20:23 |
| mzz | if you're hitting bugs in 8.04 that you know are fixed in 8.10 you could upgrade | 20:23 |
| decembre | mzz : in fact lts doesn't give much more stability for simple use ? | 20:24 |
| tom1234 | hi | 20:24 |
| int256 | i found 8 bugs that is not mentioned any where else | 20:24 |
| decembre | like family server ? | 20:24 |

| dayo2 | int256: u should report them | 20:24 |
| int256 | yes i will. | 20:24 |
| dayo2 | mustangg: /etc/hostname ? | 20:24 |
| === ZooL1 is now known as ZooLer | ||
| mzz | decembre: it has new versions of lots of stuff. So you may want to upgrade for the features in those new versions. I wouldn't upgrade in an attempt to get rid of problems in 8.04 without first checking those problems are known to be fixed in 8.10 | 20:25 |
| dayo2 | mustangg: or /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf | 20:25 |
| mzz | decembre: that's just me though. | 20:25 |
| soreau | mzz: Still at it? :) | 20:25 |
| mustangg | dayo2: during a fresh install? | 20:25 |
| int256 | i will make a video showing the bug. so that deelopers can understand well. | 20:25 |
| mzz | soreau: eh, answering basics like this doesn't take much attention | 20:25 |
| dayo2 | mustangg: install from CD? | 20:25 |
| ramiro | hi | 20:25 |
| int256 | bye | 20:25 |
| Aladin | und jetzt | 20:26 |
| mustangg | dayo2: yeah, the alt iso. | 20:26 |
| dayo2 | mustangg: wouldn't there be a moment during the install, where it prompts you for the hostname? | 20:26 |
| decembre | mzz : thanks | 20:26 |
| mustangg | dayo2: right. where does that name come from, when it self populates? | 20:26 |
| decembre | nobody give me reasons to keep lts | 20:27 |
| decembre | I think I will upgrade | 20:27 |
| dayo2 | mustangg: i'm guessing from the CD. never checked, but it probably has a default hostname file on CD, where the hostname defaults to "ubuntu: | 20:27 |
| dayo2 | "ubuntu" | 20:27 |
| usaurio | yo | 20:28 |
| usaurio | sadd | 20:28 |
| mustangg | decembre: if I've learned anything about linux, it is that the less upgrading needed means more stability. Upgrades are as needed only. | 20:28 |
| Aladin | habe sowas noch nie cht | 20:28 |
| fedormorozov | I would like to specify: when I turn my wireless card on, the light flishes 1 time and then nothing else... It detects wifi and asks for password in protected networks, tries to connect but doesn't (neither to unprotected networks) | 20:28 |
| fedormorozov | sorry, flashes | 20:28 |
| mustangg | dayo2: that was my expectation but I asked because I've tried a few fresh installs and each time the installer finds my previous hostname. Even after I dd'd my hard drives from sec 0 to sec max. | 20:29 |
| csaba198 | Hi! I' m running now ubuntu liveCD edition, and i' ve a hard drive containing 21 partitions, but in the /dev/ directory it' s counted only till sda15, but i' d like to mount sda16.

| joshjtl | hi, I'm about to upgrade from 2gb to 4gb ram... do I need to have ubuntu x86-64 installed to be able take advantage of all 4gb? | 20:30 |
| jim_p | joshjtl, yes | 20:30 |
| dayo2 | mustangg: are u connected to a dhcp server? | 20:30 |
| joshjtl | jim_p: definitely? | 20:31 |
| MadsRH | Does anyone know if Compiz 0.8 will make it into Jaunty? | 20:31 |
| mustangg | dayo2: yeah, and that nic does have a reserved ip. Could it be grabbing the info because that's the name associated with the mac on the dhcp server? | 20:31 |
| jado | hi, i'm trying to launch a file.jar with java -jar file.jar but i've got this : "No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it." | 20:31 |
| jim_p | joshjtl, yea as in all 32bit oses, the os will "see" less ram that the one that it runs on | 20:32 |
| clayg | whenever i try to shutdown or access any of the parts there, even lock screen or logout, it takes 30 seconds or so and freezes the computer while it waits. I can still shutdown through command line with no delay but I want ot be able to lock screen if i need to walk out of the room without waiting 30 seconds and basically telling my coworker i dont trust him | 20:32 |
| dayo2 | mustangg: yes. check /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf and find your hostname in there, along with the mac addr and reserved IP | 20:32 |

| mustangg | dayo2: well I don't have such an animal during the fresh install, but at least you've helped my peace-of-mind. I'd spent a good amount of time fighting problems with fakeraid+ LVM and that seemed like yet another problem to fix... | 20:33 |
| jim_p | does anyone know how to use quassel? | 20:34 |
| dayo2 | mustangg: something like: host mustanggsbox { hardware ethernet 00:d3:24:f7:82 ; fixed-address 192.168.20.3 ; } | 20:34 |

| burkmat | What would dhcpd do if it received a request with the entire range already leased? | 20:35 |
| dayo2 | mustangg: you could try deleting that entry from your dhcpd.conf, then restart dhcp3-server before installing again | 20:35 |

| jim_p | mike12, do you have ssh access on that pc? | 20:38 |
| mike12 | no | 20:39 |
| mzz | mike12: ("man eject") | 20:39 |

| khunt | jim_p, you know of one that is lightweight and easy to configure preferably with a data counter. google is not my friend today | 20:39 |
| mzz | mike12: if you don't have ssh access it's unlikely you can do anything | 20:39 |
| mike12 | o ok | 20:39 |
| jim_p | mike12, then he is fortified in there | 20:39 |
| mike12 | thaanks anyway | 20:39 |
| mzz | mike12: (think about it, being able to do that without ssh or equivalent access would be a bug) | 20:39 |

| jim_p | khunt, its been some time since i last used it | 20:39 |

| khunt | but that only does wireless | 20:42 |
| burkmat | Pilot_51, Well... I guess you could either just install on top of your current installation (would probably be bad), or run `sudo rm -rf /` to delete everything you have and then install on the "clean" partition? oO | 20:42 |

| diginux | bmorris: so its 777 ? | 20:59 |
| bmorris | yeah | 20:59 |
| z1pp3r | Im curious about the minimal CD. Does it only install a very very limited basic install (which i want), or does it just download the whole default ubuntu installation? The minimalCD page isnt very clear | 20:59 |

| morfdor | Hi everyone. Ive been happily using ubuntu for a year now but decided its time to format and reinstall.. I have my home and / root in different partitions. How can i install ubuntu on the same root partition and keep on using my same home partition without deleting its files? Thanks | 21:09 |
| bantu_ | My live c.d. doesn't create the eth0 device node | 21:09 |
| guntbert | meshuggah: good luck :) | 21:09 |
| bmorris | diginux, the little I know about samba is more than I know about nfs :P | 21:09 |
| bmorris | ohh I think I got it | 21:09 |
| bantu_ | I can't get the major minor part | 21:10 |
| Blatz | Hello, when I try to get some updates with the update manager, I get "Could not download all repository indexes" here is more specific error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117441/ | 21:10 |
| bmorris | stupid of me.. the actual files were only readable and I didn't see that because everything in the top level directory that I was looking at were directories | 21:10 |
| bantu_ | Here's the command I write | 21:10 |
| thehook | morfdor: Hi, that would be no problem at all.. In the installer you just choose to format the /root partition and make sure it does not format the /home | 21:10 |
| diginux | bmorris: samba can be a pain, nfs is super easy | 21:10 |
| cosset | руские? | 21:10 |
| bmorris | thanks a lot for all of your help! | 21:10 |

| bmorris | works perfectly now | 21:10 |
| bantu_ | Help please? | 21:11 |
| thehook | morfdor: should be pretty straight forward, just download the desktop iso and burn it, then boot from it, then choose manual partitioning | 21:11 |
| morfdor | thehook so i can keep on using my same home parition or will another one have to be created and ill have to transfer over the files from the old home parition? thanks | 21:11 |
| thehook | you can keep the same partition yes :) | 21:12 |
| thehook | morfdor: yes, but i would recommend to use a different username on the second install just to make sure none of the setting are kept from the last install | 21:13 |

| clayg | whenever i try to shutdown or access any of the parts there, even lock screen or logout, it takes 30 seconds or so and freezes the computer while it waits. I can still shutdown through command line with no delay but I want ot be able to lock screen if i need to walk out of the room without waiting 30 seconds and basically telling my coworker i dont trust him | 21:34 |

| refdef | Hey guys im trying to reinstall ubuntu 8.10 and continue using my same home partition. Im on the install cd right now and manually se the partitions bu now that it asked me to choose a username i dont know if i should choose the same user/pass or different ones because i am afraid of that users docs being overwrittrn. Can anyone who has done this before help me out? Thanks | 21:51 |
| diginux | Improv: is it in /etc/rc2.d? | 21:51 |
| hatter243 | titan_ark, are you live booting or running it within XP? | 21:51 |
| thehook | jove: im not 100% sure but i think it resides under applications -> accesiories or office | 21:52 |
| the_real_funzo | stefg, im installing from source, or i tried because i had problems with the one in synaptics. #rtorrent tipped me about installing from source | 21:52 |
| the_real_funzo | but that guide didn't work :S | 21:52 |

| Improv | diginux: But the /etc/init.d it points to does not exist. | 21:52 |
| titan_ark | hatter243, i 1st tried installing using the "in windows" installation but that gave me an error saying i am 3 MB short on RAM so i tried a complete installation | 21:52 |
| Improv | well, the /etc/init.d/openvpn I mean | 21:52 |
| diginux | Improv: well damn | 21:52 |
| nickrud | refdef, you can use whatever user name/password you like. The first user created in your original install is user 1000; the new user will also be user 1000. You will need to change the home folder name if you use a different user name | 21:53 |
| unop | DVA5912, sure, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_userdir.html is one way | 21:53 |
| jove | thehook, llI am still lookin gor liferea to insta | 21:53 |
| hatter243 | titan_ark, so it was able to boot from the CD and then after the install it gives you a black screen? | 21:53 |
| diginux | Improv: do you have another box you can install it on then steal teh script? | 21:53 |
| Improv | diginux: I think it's confused when it offers to stop openvpn before reconfiguring. | 21:53 |
| jken146 | refdef: It will be really easy if you pick the same user name. password doesn't matter. Choose manual partitioning and make sure you get the right partition for /home | 21:53 |
| nickrud | refdef, to be clear, if you use the same username there's very little chance for problems | 21:53 |
| Improv | diginux: Not handy - this is my only ubuntu box | 21:53 |
| stefg | refdef: you can choose the same username. internally the users are reperesented by numbers (the uid), which willa laways be 1000 for the first user installed... don't worry, if you don't format the drive, your files are safe and can be chowned if necessary | 21:53 |
| diginux | Improv: whats you email addy, ill install it and send the script to you | 21:54 |
| diginux | Improv: or i can pastebin it too, nm | 21:54 |
| Improv | diginux: I mainly use a mix of Fedora and OpenBSD, but Ubuntu is more appropriate for this project... | 21:54 |
| titan_ark | hatter243, yes it boots and starts copyin the files i guess, and then it reaches a black screen and i can move the mouse pointer thats it | 21:54 |
| Improv | diginux: That'd be great | 21:54 |
| titan_ark | i dont even reach the screen to enter the log in etc | 21:54 |
| thehook | jove: press Alt+F2 and write liferea | 21:54 |
| stefg | the_real_funzo: i see... so the guide should work on intrepid, too.. if not, file a bug :-) | 21:54 |
| refdef | Nickrud im sorry but i didnt completely understand you. I want to keep all my documents and use my same homefolder wnd preferably keep on using my same username without creatin a new one or losing its files. What should i do? Thanks | 21:54 |
| Improv | diginux: Overall I'm quite impressed with Ubuntu - it's pretty well put-together. | 21:55 |
| nickrud | refdef, use the same username, and use the same partition for /home. Just don't reformat it :) | 21:55 |

| Improv | Does anyone know how to tell apt-get to install a package and pretend it never has been configured before so give me all the default configuration? | 22:04 |
| stefg | the_real_funzo: that should do it for now... | 22:04 |
| the_real_funzo | for now stefg, for now?!?! :P | 22:04 |
| titan_ark | hey, i need some help with 8.10 installation! pls!!! | 22:04 |
| anisfarhana | thehook: i send the email from my server (ispconfig+ubuntu) to yahoo mail , but until now yahoo mail didn't receive anything | 22:04 |
| |ns|nR8 | Improv, you can totally remove a package and its settings using apt-get purge package | 22:05 |
| nickrud | the_real_funzo, you could look around under /usr/local for any stray stuff; assuming you just did a ./configure && make && sudo make install that's where it all went | 22:05 |
| the_real_funzo | thanks nickrud :) | 22:05 |
| gregspence | Can anyone help with my PPTP VPN - I can VPN into my ubuntu box and access ping it, however whenever I try to send "all traffic" over the VPN i get a conneciton error in the browser. Any ideas? And yes I know pptp isn't that secure however if anyone else could give me help with setting up a VPN that would be easy to use on my iphone would be much appreciated | 22:05 |

| Improv | |ns|nR8" Thanks! That let me get my /etc/init.d/openvpn back! :) | 22:06 |
| stefg | the_real_funzo: all the sh* splattered over the system is removed, all that might be left is logs and configs that get overwritten when you reinstall | 22:06 |
| titan_ark | come on! someone! please :( | 22:06 |
| Pinkopf | Might I resolve my sound issues if I removed PulseAudio which everyone seems to think is so problematic? | 22:06 |

| ikonia | titan_ark: ok ? | 22:08 |
| JessicaParker | and store them as well | 22:08 |

| ^hashbang^ | JessicaParker: JV might encode the movies with a codec not avaible under linux/ubuntu... I know I can't play my Sony HD stuff | 22:08 |
| titan_ark | ikonia hatter hey! i am a n00b just tryin out linux. am on an xp sp3 system with 256MB RAM. during installation i get stuck at a black screen | 22:08 |
| linduxed | how do i run a fsck on a partition thats running? | 22:09 |
| titan_ark | oops sorry | 22:09 |
| blizzle | titan_ark, Have you tried booting off CD? | 22:09 |
| titan_ark | i tried installing it thro the windows installation | 22:09 |
| cedrichurst_away | so does anyone where i would retrieve the en_US version of coreutils.mo | 22:09 |
| ^hashbang^ | linduxed: you don't. You need to go into "signle user mode" and then run it | 22:09 |
| stefg | titan_ark: 256MB isn't a lot... you should rather try xubuntu | 22:09 |
| JessicaParker | thats terrible | 22:09 |
| blizzle | titan_ark, Ah, you mean Wubi? | 22:09 |
| titan_ark | but then i got an error that said i am 3 mb short | 22:09 |
| ^hashbang^ | JessicaParker: Google? | 22:09 |
| cedrichurst_away | i'm trying to install a program that's looking for /usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo | 22:09 |
| linduxed | ^hashbang^: init 3? | 22:09 |
| korogiannos | linduxed: if it's not the root partition, unmount and run, if it is... personaly I'd boot from a live CD, but I'm no expert ;P | 22:10 |
| blizzle | titan_ark, Then you need to clear some space it sounds like. try http://ccleaner.com | 22:10 |
| titan_ark | so then i tried installing it on a fresh partition | 22:10 |
| ^hashbang^ | linduxed: you never want to run fsck on a mounted rw partition. | 22:10 |
| cedrichurst_away | sorry /usr/share/locale-langpack/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo | 22:10 |
| linduxed | korogiannos: i think i will do the live cd | 22:10 |
| ^hashbang^ | linduxed: and init 3 won't give you that. | 22:10 |
| blizzle | titan_ark, It's generally worth booting off the LiveCD first to ensure Ubuntu likes your hardware. | 22:10 |
| bakinbox | hello | 22:10 |
| linduxed | ^hashbang^: i think ill do a live cd | 22:10 |
| stefg | titan_ark: and don't use the 'desktop install' but either the alternate installer or the 'install ubuntu' boot option' which doesn't load the whole desktop, but just the installer | 22:10 |
| titan_ark | blizzle, k thx il try tht | 22:10 |

| Pinkopf | Heyo, only OSS working here. Any help? | 22:11 |
| bakinbox | hello | 22:11 |
| titan_ark | i tried installing it from a direct boot. i mean i booted from the disk also | 22:11 |
| bakinbox | this works? | 22:11 |
| blizzle | titan_ark, For the LiveCD, you probably want to go with Xubuntu 8.10 desktop, given your pc's specs. | 22:11 |
| stefg | blizzle: i see... wubi with 256 MB is asking for trouble | 22:11 |
| SlashLife | Some quick help here, please ... we can't seem to find the package containing the sockets extension for PHP5 | 22:11 |
| blizzle | stefg, Indeed. | 22:11 |
| titan_ark | but then i reached a black screen and only the mouse pointer moving | 22:11 |
| SlashLife | Does anyone know the actual packet name or can point me to an online ports list? | 22:11 |

| blizzle | titan_ark, What version of Ubuntu did you try? | 22:13 |
| Jufis | what's an good alternative for dreamweaver? handles html, css, javascript, php etc. | 22:13 |
| gregspence | can onyone help me configure my ubuntu box...have it set up as a pptp server, can make connections to the box however when i enable the option to send all traffic over the vpn on the client i get connection failures. think it is to do with my pptpd.conf but don't know where to start | 22:13 |
| blizzle | Jufis, Bluefish I hear is ok. | 22:13 |
| titan_ark | stfg oh okay :( even the alternate version wont work? | 22:13 |
| ^hashbang^ | SlashLife: are you talking about php-net-socket? | 22:13 |
| titan_ark | blizzle, 8.10 | 22:13 |

| SlashLife | ^hashbang^: That's as specific as I can get: "The sockets extension for PHP5" :/ | 22:14 |
| Pinkopf | I guess the ALSA/ PulseAudio experts are all at lunch? | 22:14 |
| SlashLife | He's installing some pecl extension packet atm, tho ... With a bit of luck that's it. | 22:15 |
| thehook | anisfarhana: /var/log/mail is a logfile, how can it run? | 22:15 |
| stefg | titan_ark: it'S not only a question if the installer works... the systemn has to run too. gnome (ubuntu) will be rather slow on 256 MB, xfce (xubuntu) is a better choice for that machine, and don't waste memeory on clutches like wubi, use a real install on a real partition | 22:15 |
| blizzle | Jufis, Dreamweaver will also work in Wine, at least older versions. | 22:15 |
| Jufis | blizzle: how's the performance that way? | 22:16 |
| carpii | is it possible to install ubuntu to a usb drive, rather than just putting a live cd on it? | 22:16 |

| ^hashbang^ | SlashLife: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1024529 maybe this will help? | 22:16 |
| blizzle | Jufis, Dreamweaver isn't particularly cpu-intensive, so it's fine. | 22:16 |
| carpii | zleap, was that to me? | 22:16 |
| korogiannos | mfc_coder: similar to front page and the like? or something more hands on? Bluefish is great, but you need to know a little html etc, not a "What you see is what you get" there | 22:16 |

I recently upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10, then from 7.10 to 8.04, and I'm not sure if compiz-fusion is enabled because I see no "desktop effects" under preferences... I also have an older version of Beryl installed - do I just uninstall that with sudo aptitude uninstall beryl ? | 22:18 |

| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: did you try the modprobe too? | 23:13 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Yeah, modprobe nvidia says FATAL: Error running isntall command for nvidia | 23:14 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: hmm, in type uname -r and paste that in here | 23:14 |
| dmsuperman | 2.4.24-19 | 23:14 |
| taz | hey i cant copy this to paste to termite | 23:14 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: wow, old kernel | 23:14 |

| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: I'm kind of stuck, this is where the problem is. I have 2 video cards, and I use 4GB of RAM on a 32bit OS. I use PAE, which works fine and dandy, except at work when I recompiled a later kernel with PAE my video driver entirely stopped working, so I'm afraid to upgrade at home and effectively screw myself over | 23:15 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: And in Intrepid, there's a bug with X with certain dual card setups where it just says "fatal error: no screens found" | 23:16 |
| CrypticSwarm | y | 23:16 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: hmm, 32bit doesn't support 4G of ram | 23:16 |
| taz | how ? | 23:16 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: That's why I use PAE, but that requires me to recompile my kernel with the flag enabled | 23:17 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: doh! ok | 23:17 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: And at work, when I did that, I couldn't install my video drivers anymore :P | 23:17 |
| amathis | I cannot find anything on the internet about not being able to select anything except booting to first hard drive on the ubuntu install screen.. could someone please help | 23:17 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: hmm, I'm not sure | 23:17 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: http://dmsuperman.pastebinit.com/fa3956f | 23:17 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: I've never tried using 2 video cards (tho I wanted to)... =) | 23:17 |
| pipeman | how do I get a directory to continue a share after a restart? | 23:17 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, when you compile your kernel custom, you often need to compile your modules yourself.... | 23:17 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, that is why it is highly not recommended in ubuntu | 23:18 |

| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, 64bit? server kernel? | 23:18 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, other distros that support custom kernel compilation? | 23:18 |
| taz | finallly i did copy and paste so | 23:18 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, you always have options with linux | 23:18 |
| Improv | Is there a nice way to tell upstart to log everything init scripts say to a file? | 23:19 |
| taz | meho_r ..done copy and paste.... | 23:19 |

| puppiesRcute | hello i was wondering a friend put a new cd drive in my pc and it was brand new but now sense we put in the new drive both of my cd drives are not workin | 23:19 |
| taz | what next | 23:19 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: I want to stick with ubuntu, 64bit has many issues (most notably the development package I need for my work for eclipse has no 64bit version, flash rarely works, etc. etc.) | 23:19 |
| ^hashbang^ | !upstart | 23:19 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 23:19 |
| Scunizi | puppiesRcute: don't forget to plug in the power connector | 23:19 |
| ^hashbang^ | !upstart | Improv | 23:19 |
| ubottu | Improv: please see above | 23:19 |
| sara_ | !training | 23:19 |
| ubottu | documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 23:19 |
| puppiesRcute | they did | 23:19 |
| puppiesRcute | its all connected will open up | 23:19 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, and the need for more than 3.2gb of ram? | 23:19 |
| meho_r | @taz just refresh repos. Type: sudo apt-get update | 23:19 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: Virtual machines | 23:20 |
| taz | good | 23:20 |
| puppiesRcute | the drive will open and shut both will it just doesnt mount them or show them on the system | 23:20 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, understandable | 23:20 |
| taz | Meho_r: no show up error..it gone | 23:20 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, get the nvidia drivers from the website, you may have make the changes to xorg.conf yourself | 23:20 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: So, when I say "I have no other options" I don't mean there's no possible way, but in order to meed my requirements I'm basically forced to use PAE and install from nvidia.com | 23:20 |
| meho_r | @taz: so working, ha? :) Glad to hear. This is procedure for all missing keys. Remember it ;) | 23:21 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, but it should be as easy as: sh nvida_driver_package then: nvidia-config | 23:21 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: That's what I'm using, and the installer runs without error but then sudo modprobe nvidia gives me error running install command | 23:21 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: and lsmod | grep nv shows that it's not in use | 23:21 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, this is because you have to have your currently running kerenl source (not headers) symlinked to /usr/src/linux | 23:21 |
| Scunizi | puppiesRcute: you should also check the little jumper on the back of the drives.. there are usually 3 positions you can put the jumper, Master, Slave and Cable Select.. If you're not sure put both in the cable select position | 23:21 |
| sara_ | ok ubottu doesn't know where i can get training for ubuntu... does anyone here know ubuntu training like there is for microsoft (mcdst)? | 23:21 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, nv are the open source drivers..... | 23:21 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: nv would match nvidia ;) | 23:21 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, the close source drivers are "nvidia" | 23:22 |
| puppiesRcute | its a sony dvd double layer drive the other is a samsung dvd double layer drive | 23:22 |
| taz | thanks | 23:22 |
| carpii | why do you want ubuntu certification ? | 23:22 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, ah, yes | 23:22 |
| Scunizi | puppiesRcute: that's assuming they are ide drives and not SATA drives | 23:22 |
| carpii | the microsoft ones arent worth the paper theyre written on | 23:22 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: Also, I have the headers patched as well I believe | 23:22 |
| sara_ | carpii, for my cv | 23:22 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: I have the entire thing rebuilt. I had to rebuild the modules, image, and headers | 23:22 |
| sara_ | carpii, for my cv/resume | 23:22 |
| puppiesRcute | im a girl think we all are confused with ubuntu but still like it just dont know how to use it | 23:22 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, I am saying that headers are a mysterious ubuntu thing | 23:22 |
| carpii | youd be better outting it down in the experience section | 23:22 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, you need to full kernel source in /usr/src/linux | 23:22 |
| carpii | or take general linux certifcations | 23:23 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, to do things the generic linux way | 23:23 |
| carpii | im not sure how many companies would think too much of ubuntu certs anyway tbh | 23:23 |
| Scunizi | puppiesRcute: well.. the drives not working typically doesn't have anything to do with ubuntu or you being a girl.. hopefully :) | 23:23 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: I have them :) | 23:23 |
| silentContender | How do you rip music off a CD as m4a using Sound Juicer, and still have it play on an Ipod | 23:23 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, symlinked to the correct place? | 23:23 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: They aren't symlinked, they have the actual data | 23:23 |
| sara_ | puppiesRcute, shhhh no. see i too am a girl. the fact i lack a penus doesnt mean i get all light headed and confused.... im a technition mcdst with microsoft.... it takes time to know this stuff | 23:24 |
| silentContender | All of the m4a file ripped by Sound Juicer are skipped over by my Ipod | 23:24 |
| Scunizi | silentContender: mp3 is supported in ipod and many other places.. why would you want to keep it in m4a? | 23:24 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, you should always use symlink so when you update your kernel, you do not have to move the entire source tree | 23:24 |
| puppiesRcute | k il check both know for sure both drives work because before i took the other drive out the other worked fine and the other is brand new | 23:24 |
| brettley | how do i change a files permissions in the console? | 23:24 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: Yeah, which is why I haven't upgraded my kernel :P | 23:24 |
| silentContender | Scunizi, I read the quality is better and its a newer format | 23:24 |
| sara_ | puppiesRcute, it ANGERS me to hear you say that, your just as valid as anyone else here. | 23:24 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, what does: modprobe -l | grep nvidia return? | 23:24 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: in /lib/modules/$kernelversion/build build should be symlinked to the version of kernel and it's source tree in /usr/src/linux or whatever name you used | 23:24 |
| Scunizi | brettley: sudo chmod <number> filename | 23:24 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: Nothing | 23:24 |
| Huufarted | brettley: chmod *** <filename> | 23:24 |
| === Andry_2 is now known as Andry_Sleeps | ||
| Huufarted | Brettley: permission values are 421 for rwx | 23:25 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Ah, yes, they are properly linked | 23:25 |
| klasikahl | it seems that ssh ssh-agent is broken in jaunty. | 23:25 |
| Huufarted | brettley for all rwx all the way across it would be: chmod 777 <filename> | 23:25 |
| Scunizi | silentContender: also propriatory like mp3 but locked to ipod.. nothing else will really use it. | 23:25 |
| puppiesRcute | i do honestly suck with computers am confused but learning girl power we are the smarter of the race so learning full heartedly | 23:25 |
| === gmspence is now known as gregspence | ||
| brettley | i just need to change my nvidia drivers so that steam can access them | 23:25 |
| brettley | (i think its 777_ | 23:25 |
| brettley | ) | 23:25 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, are you actually using a vanilla kernel? | 23:25 |
| puppiesRcute | thats the only issue i have had with ubuntu though | 23:26 |
| Scunizi | brettley: so you've installed the drivers and steam can't access them? | 23:26 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: I got the kernel source from the repos, went into a single config file, uncommented the HIGH_MEM64G flag, and rebuilt | 23:26 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: did you try running find /lib/modules/yourkernel -name \*nv* | 23:26 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Yeah I pastebinned it before | 23:26 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: http://dmsuperman.pastebinit.com/fa3956f | 23:26 |
| silentContender | Oh, didn't not know it was limited to ipod. I thought ACC was limited. I know that ACC is essentially m4a, but iTunes differentiates between ACC and m4a | 23:26 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, it is recommended that you don't directly edit the kernel .config | 23:26 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: I think that's the pastebin | 23:26 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: doh! yea that link didn't seem to work.. | 23:26 |
| gregspence | can anyone help me with ipforwarding - i have a vpn connection (pptp) into my ubuntu box, successfully authenticates however cannot get any traffic out "on to the net". I have enabled ip forwarding in /etc/sysctl.conf however whenver I connect I still can't access any webpages over my vpn. Any ideas? | 23:26 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, you should always use make menuconfig | 23:27 |
| puppiesRcute | but later all might try to fix or solve my problem | 23:27 |
| Scunizi | silentContender: I think m4a is acc just by a different name | 23:27 |
| puppiesRcute | ;) | 23:27 |
| brettley | Scunizi: well, i installed steam, and cant install any games (steam crashes) and the last things i see are something about not being able to access some nvidia things | 23:27 |
| taz | meho_r all done..many thanks | 23:27 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: try paste.ubuntu.com for me | 23:27 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: I already did it, according to the guide that was on ubuntuforums.org which showed me how, and it's been working for about 6 months now | 23:27 |
| Huufarted | Does Steam have a Linux client or are you guys running it through Wine or something else? | 23:27 |
| brettley | wine | 23:27 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: http://dmsuperman.pastebin.com/fa3956f | 23:27 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, its because ubuntu doesn't really support modified kernels | 23:27 |
| Huufarted | gotcha | 23:27 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: I typed teh link wrong :P | 23:27 |
| silentContender | Scunizi, I really don't know, but somehow iTunes can tell the difference between ACC and m4a. | 23:28 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, there are plenty of distros that do and will likely suite your needs better.... | 23:28 |
| Scunizi | brettley: if the drivers are installed and functional then it must have something to do with steam.. I don't know anything about steam but if it installes in wine then you might check www.winehq.com for advice. | 23:28 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: lol np | 23:28 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: so what happens when you run.. insmod /kernel/drivers/video/nvidia | 23:28 |
| Improv | hmm. upstart.ubuntu.com is not correct for my install (refers to some nonexistent directories), but /etc/event.d seems to get what I want. | 23:28 |
| lithixium | AAC is the compression format, m4a is a container for that format (or others potentially) | 23:28 |
| Improv | s/get/hold/ | 23:28 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: I _want_ to use ubuntu, and with my requirements my only option is to rebuild the kernel, which has already been done and now I'm trying to figure out why my nvidia drivers have suddenly stopped working out of no where | 23:28 |
| brettley | i already went there and they said that it was the drivers and id have to use the prepackaged ones, witch will crap my performance, and i am trying to figure another way out | 23:29 |
| Scunizi | silentContender: check this out .. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6266772 | 23:29 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: /kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko I mean or /volatile/nvidia.ko | 23:29 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, nvidia drivers are built on a per-kernel basis | 23:29 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, that is why they quit working | 23:29 |
| roy_hobbs | when i install linux-source where does it go? | 23:29 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: video/nvidia is a directory | 23:29 |
| Scunizi | brettley: prepackaged meaning the ones directly off the nvidia site? | 23:30 |
| DexterF | roy_hobbs: dpkg -L linux-source | 23:30 |
| brettley | already have those | 23:30 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: you need to use the full path insmod /lib/modules/kernelversion/bla/bla/bla | 23:30 |
| brettley | and i tried the ones from the ubuntu repo | 23:30 |
| Scunizi | brettley: which version #? | 23:30 |
| brettley | 173 i belive | 23:30 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Odd, now the nvidia module is loaded | 23:30 |
| R0b0t1 | What is the package for openoffice.org's Draw? | 23:30 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: ok what does dmesg stay? | 23:30 |
| spasticteapot | Does anyone here know why my M-Audio Audiophile USB won't work? | 23:30 |
| Titan8990 | dmsuperman, do you have the nvidia driver defined in xorg.conf? | 23:30 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: And X works again :D | 23:30 |
| spasticteapot | When I plug it in, lsusb lists the M-Audio USB as a "Texas Instruments" device. | 23:31 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: hmm | 23:31 |
| spasticteapot | I tried the fix on the Ubuntu forums - no dice. | 23:31 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: that's not right | 23:31 |
| Huufarted | !xorg > huufarted | 23:31 |
| ubottu | Huufarted, please see my private message | 23:31 |
| lithixium | r0bby, openoffice.org-draw | 23:31 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: question now is, why didn't it load on reboot | 23:31 |
| dmsuperman | Titan8990: I know this. I rebuilt my kernel over _six_ months ago. I last installed my driver about a month ago. I rebooted my machine yesterday, and it came back up fine. I rebooted it this morning, and all of a sudden it wasn't working. I didn't make any system changes. I didn't rebuild my kernel, nor my modules. | 23:31 |
| Scunizi | brettley: 173 was / is available in ubuntu so is 177 and now I believe 180.11.. so if you installed the drivers from nvidia incorrectly you'd end up with mixed results.. I just installed the 180.29 drivers today and they rock way better then 180.11 or .22 | 23:31 |
| luke | hi there, how do i enable mod_rewrite in my apache settings | 23:31 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: That is the question :) | 23:31 |
| silentContender | Scunizi, I didn't understand much of the link, other than checking the specs (which I don't quite understand how to). | 23:31 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: try rebooting again | 23:31 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Alright. Luckily this is in irssi + screen so I don't have to leave ;) | 23:32 |
| luke | i have manually created the symlink as well in the mod_enabled etc | 23:32 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: woot! | 23:32 |
| brettley | well when i tried the 180 or the 177 my screen went all funky | 23:32 |
| luke | any idea what i might be missing | 23:32 |
| luke | :( | 23:32 |
| Furu | guys what program should i use for burning dvd's etc? | 23:32 |
| ^hashbang^ | luke: type /join #apache | 23:32 |
| silentContender | Scunizi, Also I noticed that the m4a files do not play in iTunes either. Don't know it that's significant. | 23:32 |
| Titan8990 | !burn | Furu | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Furu: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 23:32 |
| amathis | I cannot find anything on the internet about not being able to select anything except booting to first hard drive on the ubuntu install screen.. could someone please help | 23:33 |
| Scunizi | silentContender: the link says that there is no difference between m4a and acc .. they are the same.. lithixium said one is the codec and the other is the container for the codec.. so rip in mp3 or put rockbox on your ipod and use mp3 or ogg | 23:33 |
| ^hashbang^ | amathis: have you tried a different keyboard? different usb port? | 23:33 |
| Furu | ubottu what program would u recomend me to start out with? burning a iso:p | 23:33 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:33 |
| Scunizi | !rockbox | silentContender | 23:34 |
| ubottu | silentContender: rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! | 23:34 |
| Furu | hehe | 23:34 |
| Furu | my bad | 23:34 |
| Titan8990 | Furu, are you using gnome? | 23:34 |
| amathis | ^hashbang^ yes, different keyboards, and they are not usb | 23:34 |
| bashir | where are cookies in firefox stored in linux | 23:34 |
| Furu | Titan8990 im using mint.. | 23:34 |
| lithixium | silentContender, Scunizi I would agree, use Rockbox and rip in Vorbis if your iPod supports Rockbox, otherwise decent quality MP3 is probably best | 23:34 |
| ^hashbang^ | amathis: hmm, very odd. do you have a usb keyboard? | 23:34 |
| silentContender | Scunizi, I would gladly put rockbox on my IPod, but it's a Gen 2 nano, so it doesn't work. I really don't want to convert ~100-150 songs from m4a to mp3 | 23:34 |
| Scunizi | bashir: somewhere in /home/<user name>/.mozilla | 23:34 |
| Titan8990 | Furu, which uses what desktop/window manager? | 23:35 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Yup, doesn't work upon reboot | 23:35 |
| lithixium | silentContender, These m4a songs, were they purchased from iTunes? | 23:35 |
| amathis | ^hashbang^ no.. the thing is, the arrow keys work, and so does the enter key because it asks me to select language | 23:35 |
| silentContender | Scunizi, and Lithixium, Though if I have to I will convert to mp3 | 23:35 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: dude that's messed up. Only think I can think of now is to add that insmod command to /etc/rc.local | 23:35 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Hehe, hackish but meh it works :P | 23:35 |
| silentContender | lithixium, the m4a songs were ripped off of CDs using sound juicer | 23:35 |
| amathis | ^hashbang^ and the option 'boot to first hard drive' works | 23:36 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: yea, I hack junk all the time =) | 23:36 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| ^hashbang^ | amathis: you said your arrow keys work, so why can't you choose the install option? | 23:36 |
| silentContender | lithixium, I have not found any on net about this problem yet, so I don't know what I need to do. | 23:36 |
| Scunizi | silentContender: but if they are not recognized by the ipod or playable, converting them won't do much good either. | 23:36 |
| alpha4 | Hi question about flash player | 23:36 |
| ^hashbang^ | !ask | alpha4 | 23:37 |
| ubottu | alpha4: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:37 |
| amathis | ^hashbang^, excuse me.. I can select it, but when I hit enter nothing happens. | 23:37 |
| alpha4 | should i download from adobe flash player? | 23:37 |
| silentContender | Scunizi, the Ipod recognizes the song. It just decides to display the name and skip it. | 23:37 |
| ^hashbang^ | amathis: bad ISO image? | 23:37 |
| Scunizi | silentContender: so it doesn't play | 23:37 |

| silentContender | Scunizi, Yes | 23:37 |
| amathis | maybeso | 23:37 |
| ^hashbang^ | amathis: I've seen something like that before with fedora, and it was a bad cd | 23:37 |
| lithixium | silentContender, I assume they play fine on your computer | 23:37 |
| Huufarted | alpha4, I use the Adobe one and it works very well for me | 23:37 |

| alpha4 | Does it make any difference using a x64 or x86 ubuntu? | 23:38 |
| alpha4 | How i ccheck if my installation is a x64 | 23:38 |
| bashir | i dont see anything in .mozilla that pertains to cookies | 23:39 |
| bashir | only has stuff about cache there | 23:39 |
| Scunizi | alpha4: if you're new to linux / ubuntu et.al. then stick with x86.. x64 can be a headache | 23:39 |
| amathis | is there a small iso that installs from the net"? | 23:39 |
| silentContender | I guess I'll just put a thread up in the forums. Have to go. Thanks anyways. | 23:39 |
| ^hashbang^ | alpha4: open a terminal and type uname -a if you see x86_64, you are running a 64bit verison | 23:39 |
| Huufarted | Hashbang, good info on the 64 bit. My desktop is 64 bit and I'll be going that way if I decide to go Ubuntu on it. | 23:39 |
| djhash | !netinsall | 23:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about netinsall | 23:39 |
| alpha4 | ^hashbang^ it say i686 gnu / linux | 23:40 |
| djhash | !install | 23:40 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate | 23:40 |
| CokeNCode | hey, guys, I'm looking for some virus protection software for linux | 23:40 |
| CokeNCode | any suggestions | 23:40 |
| CokeNCode | preferably something that i can apt-get install | 23:40 |
| ^hashbang^ | Huufarted: yea, I had a heck of a time getting it to work.. then I found the labs.adobe.com site =) | 23:40 |
| Huufarted | Amathis, the iso for Ubuntu should have an MD5 hash on the website | 23:40 |
| spritle | you're an iiot? | 23:40 |

| brettley | linux=unvirusable | 23:40 |
| brettley | =) | 23:40 |
| randal | i was wondering if it is posible to put the live cd on a external harddrive like a usb start up disk but on a harddrive | 23:40 |
| ^hashbang^ | alpha4: ok cool your running 32bit | 23:40 |
| Rolcol | CokeNCode: ClamTK | 23:40 |
| CokeNCode | thanks Rolanditu\Afk | 23:40 |
| Huufarted | Get an MD5 hash program and just check that MD5 hash against the website | 23:40 |
| klasikahl | lmao. | 23:40 |
| Rolcol | CokeNCode: It's only for Windows Viruses. No Linux viruses out in the wild. Although... You could still get a trojan. | 23:40 |
| Dr_Willis | CokeNCode, linux AV sof3ware scans windows files for windos viruses normally :) | 23:41 |
| Huufarted | that will tell you if your download was complete or not | 23:41 |
| Scunizi | lithixium: looks like silentContender left 'cause the conversation wasn't going fast enough... I suspect he had issues on the windows/mac side reading the file system on the linux side or something to that effect.. | 23:41 |
| alpha4 | ^hashbang^ i have a 4gb of ram would there be any use if i'm using a x86 | 23:41 |
| CokeNCode | hmmm, I actually want to scan some files on my website | 23:41 |
| klasikahl | o noes. a windows virus. | 23:41 |
| Huufarted | randal, yes it is possible, but would you mind me asking why you want to put it on a hard drive? | 23:41 |
| CokeNCode | it's infected :( | 23:41 |
| klasikahl | wipe, reinstall. | 23:41 |
| lithixium | Scunizi, yeah, it's an odd one - I'm in a chat on another channel as well, so my responses are quite slow :P | 23:41 |
| ^hashbang^ | alpah4: 32bit only sees up to 3.2g (sometimes less, sometimes more). 64bit is the way to go for full 4G+ support | 23:42 |
| randal | Huufarted: more room i only got a 2 gb usbstick how do you do this | 23:42 |
| Rolcol | CokeNCode: Linux server hosting the website? | 23:42 |
| klasikahl | CokeNCode: call me paranoid, but there is no un-rooting of a compromised machine. same goes for viruses. | 23:42 |
| Huufarted | Randal, I'm just wondering why you wouldn't just install from a burned CD? | 23:42 |
| CokeNCode | Rolcol, yup. | 23:42 |
| brettley | randal: why do you want a LiveCD on a external harddrive? | 23:42 |
| CokeNCode | The thing is, what can I do. It's not my machine | 23:42 |
| randal | Huufarted: im useing it as a portable comuter type of thing where i can go to computer to computer | 23:42 |
| Scunizi | lithixium: naw.. you were doing fine.. he was just a little impatient.. that can happen on irc.. it's not like a phone call where dead air means you've lost the other parties attention. :) | 23:42 |
| ^hashbang^ | "unrooting" there's a new word for the day =) | 23:42 |
| Rolcol | someone must have bruteforced themselves in and done it manually | 23:42 |
| klasikahl | CokeNCode: dude... you can't get a virus on linux. if you suspect you hvave an infected file, delete it. | 23:43 |
| CokeNCode | klasikahl, I'm talking about a server | 23:43 |
| Huufarted | ah... gotcha. Yes it is possible to do, and there are guides out there for it. | 23:43 |
| klasikahl | CokeNCode: so what? | 23:43 |
| CokeNCode | and you can get a virus on linux | 23:43 |
| klasikahl | CokeNCode: you don't have `rm` on your server? | 23:43 |
| Rolcol | klasikahl: yes you can. No system is unprotected. You can't get one from just browsing the internet but you can if you download a file and give it root privileges | 23:43 |
| CokeNCode | lol | 23:43 |
| klasikahl | CokeNCode: rootkits != viruses | 23:43 |
| Huufarted | Randal, google this: "install Ubuntu from USB hard drive" and you should find results | 23:43 |
| Scunizi | CokeNCode: you can get hacked.. but a virus.. chances are VERY unlikely | 23:43 |
| CokeNCode | klasikahl, do you do any hosting? you never get full access to the server | 23:43 |
| kane77 | klasikahl, nothing is impossible, but on linux viruses are highly unprobable | 23:43 |
| alpha4 | ^hashbang^ let say i have all my settings orsetting backup and can i reinstall ubntu to 64 and use the settings for x64 ubnut? | 23:43 |
| randal | Huufarted: ok thank you | 23:44 |
| klasikahl | kane77: thanks i know, i'm a pen tester. | 23:44 |
| kane77 | ;) | 23:44 |
| ^hashbang^ | CokeNCode: if you think you have a virus under linux, install ClamAV and let it run... if your system has been hacked, I would backup your data and reload... ASAP! | 23:44 |
| klasikahl | CokeNCode: you pay for a server that you can't delete files from? | 23:44 |
| klasikahl | CokeNCode: ftp? | 23:44 |
| CokeNCode | klasikahl, listen carefully | 23:44 |
| CokeNCode | When you pay for hosting | 23:44 |
| CokeNCode | you don't get full access to the server | 23:44 |
| ^hashbang^ | alpha4: are you referring to desktop settings? sure | 23:44 |
| CokeNCode | you only get access to your stuff | 23:44 |
| Huufarted | Klasikahl, CokeNCode is right. You very very very rarely get even ROOT access to a hosted server. | 23:44 |
| klasikahl | since when do you need root access to delete a file?! | 23:45 |
| ^hashbang^ | CokeNCode: get a new hosting provider that takes care of there servers =) | 23:45 |
| Huufarted | if it's part of the hosted OS, you can't delete it if you're not root | 23:45 |
| CokeNCode | lol | 23:45 |
| CokeNCode | ^hashbang^, that's the plan | 23:45 |
| klasikahl | so you maanged to get your server rooted? | 23:45 |
| klasikahl | gj | 23:45 |
| ^hashbang^ | CokeNCode: I use siteground.... they are good and the pricing is nice | 23:45 |
| alpha4 | ^hashbang^ yeap | 23:45 |
| musikgoat|main | this seems to be way off topic | 23:46 |
| CokeNCode | klasikahl, don't blame me :/ | 23:46 |
| Huufarted | CokeNCode, at the same time if you got the server infected through your actions, then it's not possible the virus can do anything that you wouldn't be able to do and therefore you WILL be able to delete it. | 23:46 |
| klasikahl | the only way you could possibly get an infected file in your "os" is if you have been rooted (rootkit). in which case, give up. you can't ensure integrity of anything on the system. | 23:46 |
| Scunizi | CokeNCode: I use aplus.net.. same .. although siteground caters to joomla which you might be running. | 23:46 |

| adac | What is a good backup program with a webinterface? | 23:46 |
| CokeNCode | Huufarted, great, now you're blaming me too :( | 23:46 |
| Huufarted | CokeNCode, if the provider is the one that infected the server, then they deserve to get dropped | 23:46 |
| Huufarted | CokeNCode, I said *IF* | 23:46 |
| CokeNCode | lol | 23:46 |
| Huufarted | IF. Big letters IF | 23:47 |
| klasikahl | CokeNCode: wait, let's start with your premise. what makes you think this linux box is compromised? | 23:47 |
| Huufarted | there are only 2 options. EIther you did it or they did it. If you did it, you CAN Delete it. If they did it, it's their fault. | 23:47 |
| CokeNCode | anyone familiar with this 8speed virus ? | 23:47 |
| Itacious | Hey all, I have xfce set up with a 48px panel, iconbox, etc. (a la Windows 7). I have just discovered (or rediscovered) that the xfce tray supports multiple columns, so now the icons aren't huge (YES!). But, if I put the standard xfce volume applet down there, it blows up to 48x48px. So, in short, does anybody know of a package that is a volume manger(?) for the system tray? Thanks in advance. | 23:47 |
| amathis | ok | 23:47 |
| klasikahl | Huufarted: not true. if he did it and the code managed to exploit a service that was running with too much privlege, it is easily conceivable the code is beyond his permissions now | 23:47 |

| Titan8990 | Itacious, not sure about the ubuntu package but im my distro the package that contains toolbar volume control is: xfce4-icons | 23:50 |
| cees | hey all, i have been googling for a while to get some kind of fan control to ubuntu i just installed, i have abit ab9 quadgt motherboard bit it seems that i cannot find any utility to get control of fans, any hints how to proceed :)? | 23:50 |
| Itacious | hashbang, it's not really a xubuntu question. | 23:50 |
| Titan8990 | Itacious, the program is: xfce-mixer | 23:50 |
| CokeNCode | hmmm, what's a good program on linux for doing some database administration. I'm looking for something like sqlyog | 23:50 |

| bernz | (ah, i would have guessed the X stood for just X[11]) | 23:51 |
| ^hashbang^ | spaceBARbarian: using ./ is like double clicking in windows =) | 23:51 |

| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Where did you suggest I put that again? | 23:52 |
| bjb1959 | any ideas how to get a tv card and a usb webcam to play nice on intrepid? | 23:52 |
| CokeNCode | sorry, that answer sucked, but no one else answered | 23:52 |
| CokeNCode | it's something along those lines | 23:52 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: /etc/rc2.d/rc.local | 23:52 |
| bernz | spaceBARbarian, instead of circumventing, learn about why you need it, and then you'll *want* to do it ;-) | 23:52 |
| Itacious | hashbang, what i mean is that this "tray volume manager" could work in the gnome, kde, xfce, etc. tray. It is not specifically for xubuntu/xfce. | 23:52 |
| Itacious | but i'll try #xubuntu | 23:52 |
| spaceBARbarian | bernz: i just hate having to do the ./ in bash and in csh it just works so i dunno :P | 23:52 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: There is no rc.local in there, should I create it? | 23:53 |
| bernz | spaceBARbarian, but if you really hate it, you might be able to do a trick with 'alias' ('man alias' to learn more) | 23:53 |
| spaceBARbarian | okay thks | 23:53 |

| Rustyt0n | can any1 help me plz? | 23:53 |
| Rustyt0n | I have a question | 23:53 |
| ^hashbang^ | Itacious: xfce is part of xubuntu, so the best place to have those questions regarding xfce would be xubuntu.. imho thats where I'd start being ubuntu is gnome native =) | 23:53 |

| Dr_Willis | ask the question then? :) | 23:54 |
| bernz | spaceBARbarian, failing that, read the docs/manual for the shell you're using (probably 'bash', maybe 'ash', maybe 'csh', maybe 'ksh') and it might tell you a nick option you can use by setting an env variable | 23:54 |

| bjb1959 | webcam and tv card together, any ideas how to get that to work? | 23:54 |
| steve-o | help anyone network manager | 23:54 |
| Rustyt0n | thing is, im usin troppinx on live-cd but it doesnt show my MSI wirelless adaptar, even thou is plugged | 23:54 |
| jtaji | spaceBARbarian: the normal way would be to put it or a link to it in a place in your path, ~/bin might be a good choice | 23:54 |
| spaceBARbarian | bernz: maybe something in the .bashrc file ? | 23:55 |
| Rustyt0n | i tryied usin a wget command and tar command to the driver files | 23:55 |
| ^hashbang^ | Itacious: you could also try #xfce | 23:55 |
| Rolcol | I like wget combined with tar | 23:55 |
| Rustyt0n | but it gives me an error about not enough space left on divice or something like that | 23:55 |
| Huufarted | In response to spaceBARbarian's question, why is ./ required anyway? Can someone explain that? | 23:55 |
| Scunizi | I have a server on my lan that I access with ssh by doing ssh <server>@<ip_address> .. typical.. but I'd like to just do ssh <server>@<server_name> .. is that possible and how? | 23:55 |
| ^hashbang^ | Itacious: i'm just saying that cause I think you would have better luck getting your question answered | 23:55 |
| ^hashbang^ | Scunizi: use /etc/hosts | 23:56 |
| steve-o | is anyone listening | 23:56 |
| jtaji | Huufarted: it's required when the program is not in your $PATH, for example it would prevent say a trojan 'ls' in a directory being executed over the one in your path | 23:56 |

| bernz | spaceBARbarian, so it might be something like MAKE_MY_LIFE_EASIER which you set to 'yes' or something | 23:57 |
| Itacious | I mean, in this instance I am using xfce. But, this volume manager I'm looking for (if such a thing exists) is supposed to be in the system tray, not a panel applet. So it could be used not only in xfce's tray, but also gnome's tray and kde's tray. So it's not necessarily xfce related, i'm just looking for a volume control for the tray, which in this case I would be using in xfce. | 23:57 |
