| Titan8990 | Rustyt0n, and what does the officail aircrack website say about your chipset? | 00:00 |
| Rustyt0n | that its supported for linux | 00:00 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: well, you will still need the nvidia drivers... so I'm not sure... | 00:00 |
| Rustyt0n | but i need to get the drivers so i can use the wireless card | 00:00 |
| ^hashbang^ | Scunizi: why not.. I do it all the time | 00:00 |
| bjb1959 | I guess I'll try later since no one here seems to know | 00:00 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: They're installed | 00:00 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: I just have to insmod them whenever I reboot lol | 00:00 |
| Scunizi | dmsuperman: did you install nvidia drivers that came directly from the nvidia site? | 00:01 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: yea I know, but 9.04 isn't going to make this issue go away... it's something else, just not sure what yet. | 00:01 |
| dmsuperman | Scunizi: Aye | 00:01 |
| steve-o | is there help here or is there a better place | 00:01 |
| Titan8990 | Rustyt0n, first off, is your problem that your wireless doesn't work or it doesn't inject? | 00:01 |
| Rustyt0n | it doesnt work | 00:01 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Oh no I mean hopefully some of my issues will be cleared up | 00:01 |
| Rustyt0n | its not showing on iwconfig | 00:01 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: oh oh, well I'd hope so =) | 00:02 |
| Titan8990 | Rustyt0n, let me see the lspci line for your wireless device | 00:02 |
| redvamp128 | !ask | steve-o: | 00:02 |
| ubottu | steve-o:: 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. :-) | 00:02 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Like I'll perhaps be able to use PAE + nvidia drivers without issue, or maybe (just maybe) flash 64bit will be usable by then :P | 00:02 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: sorry, my eyes are starting to get blurry =) | 00:02 |
| Huufarted | too much hash? *RIMSHOT* | 00:02 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Hehe, time for bed or more coffee | 00:02 |
| Scunizi | dmsuperman: when I installed mine I first opened synaptic and uninstalled all references to nvidia that were installed.. then installed from a tty with the gdm stopped.. worked like a champ.. put 180.29 in today and automatically uninstalled the 180.22 drivers I had in there. | 00:02 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: I am using flash 64bit just fine =) | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | steve-o, i think one can run network manager from the terminal with some commnd that starts with 'nm- ' but i dont know the full name.. try 'nm<TABKEY> ' and see what it fills in. | 00:02 |
| gmspence | please anyone that can help me route traffic over my VPN then please PM me....i'm going bald pulling my hair out! | 00:02 |
| Rustyt0n | i tried lspci, but its not showin there either, i thougth that there had to be a specific command line for it, ty very much Titan | 00:02 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Flash will load maybe once in 15 attempts using 64bit for me | 00:03 |
| steve-o | thanks i'll try that now | 00:03 |
| redvamp128 | Rustyt0n: dmesg ? | 00:03 |
| jess | does anyone know if there is a "Linux FAQ" on the ubuntu forums | 00:03 |
| Titan8990 | Rustyt0n, is it a usb device? | 00:03 |
| Rustyt0n | yes Titan | 00:03 |
| dmsuperman | Scunizi: I've learned long ago to not even install the nvidia repos versions | 00:03 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: did you install the version from labs.adobe.com? | 00:03 |
| Scunizi | jess: what info are you looking for.. basic stuff? | 00:03 |
| Titan8990 | Rustyt0n, then it will show in: lsusb | 00:03 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Yeah, flash 10 latest beta? | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | jess, theres faq's all over the internet :) | 00:03 |
| Titan8990 | Rustyt0n, also, NO usb wireless devices are supported for injection | 00:03 |
| jess | yeah.. more so propagand for other users/ friends Scunizi Dr_Willis | 00:03 |
| sathyrion | Does the nvidia drivers support HDMI out? Never tried.. only used VGA cable to mu LCD TV. | 00:04 |
| Huufarted | jess, something like this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/Guide | 00:04 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: yea | 00:04 |
| mjc | sathyrion: yes | 00:04 |
| dmsuperman | Scunizi: With the exception of intrepid on my laptop they've never even worked | 00:04 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Yeah, doesn't work :P | 00:04 |
| Scunizi | jess: check out www.scribd.com and search for whatever you want.. there's a lot of downloadable pdf books there and stuff you can read right online.. | 00:04 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: what!! | 00:04 |
| dmsuperman | ^hashbang^: Yup :P | 00:04 |
| steve-o | Dr_Willis - it gave me some suggestions but i want the gui | 00:04 |
| ^hashbang^ | dmsuperman: hmm, open firefox and do about:plugins | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | steve-o, try running them and see.. i dont know what one launches the gui tool | 00:05 |
| evilGUI | anyone know if it's possible to have list view on the Desktop in GNOME? | 00:05 |
| Scunizi | dmsuperman: suprizingly the 177 drivers worked for me on my laptop with an 8400 card in hardy but wouldn't on my desktop with an 8200 card.. the 180.29 drivers actaully make the screen writes almost tolerable. | 00:05 |
| steve-o | thanks again | 00:05 |
| Huufarted | evilGUI, good idea. I'd like that, too. | 00:05 |
| Scunizi | dmsuperman: desktop was intrepid | 00:06 |

| Huufarted | Redvamp, that's not necessary. I wanted to because the screenshots I've seen do not yet match what I have in GNOME. | 00:25 |
| martin_ | exodus_ms, i dont see the compiler in the web page | 00:25 |
| ^hashbang^ | hiya alltax | 00:25 |
| tcpt26 | then i manually edited the menu.lst with vista info ... but when grub is booting ... the windows option dont show | 00:25 |
| exodus_ms | martin_, I'm not sure what you mean by that, are you saying you don;t see a make file | 00:25 |
| redvamp128 | Huufarted: can you post a screenshot at www.imagebin.ca so I can see what you see | 00:25 |
| alltax | I have made a little scriptfile to run xfig in a enviroment that is more suited for me but how can I make it open a file by using gnome? the script looks like this "LANG=sv_SE.ISO-8859-1 xfig -but_per_row 4" | 00:26 |
| Huufarted | Redvamp128, that's not necessary. The screenshots just show preferences changed a bit. I can work through that no problem. | 00:26 |
| Huufarted | Redvamp, I just jumped the gun assuming I was using something other than Nautilus, that's all. | 00:26 |
| redvamp128 | Huufarted: something simple if you want to see path-- click the icon that looks like a pencil and paper changes the bar inside (most common thing people don't think looks like theirs) | 00:27 |
| martin_ | exodus_ms, u see gnome vfs in some there... | 00:27 |
| ^hashbang^ | alltax: try ##gnome they might be able to help | 00:28 |
| tcpt26 | i also tried to run grub and root (hd0,2) (this is where the /boot/grub/stage1 is) and setup (hd0) but nothing | 00:28 |
| redvamp128 | Huufarted: though depending on your theme that can also change Nautilus. | 00:28 |
| alltax | I saved the file in /usr/bin and configured nautilus to open .fig files with my script but what happens is that xfig opens empty | 00:28 |
| Huufarted | Redvamp128, I'm actually not half as retarded as I look lol. I even administer a few Linux servers. However, there's just a HUGE difference between my job that uses 100% command line on Red Hat to 80% graphical Ubuntu | 00:28 |
| Dmole | any one else have a magic CLI? if "<space> history | tail -n 1" dose not print itself you to have a magic CLI. | 00:28 |

| dmi3on | hi all i have ubuntu and vista i use vnc4server but cant find how can i transfer files, can any one help me pls | 00:29 |
| n8tuser | dmi3on -> use scp please | 00:29 |
| Huufarted | dmi3on, my advice is to not use the VNC file transfer and instead use FTP. BUT barring that, can you just not find the option or do the files just not transfer? | 00:29 |
| exodus_ms | martin_, I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time understanding what you are talking about? You are trying to install nautilus, but you don't want to use the repositories even though the version available is the newer version your trying to 'make' at the moment | 00:30 |
| ^hashbang^ | alltax: ok | 00:30 |
| kingsley | Does version 8.04 include Korean language support through SCIM? | 00:30 |
| ^hashbang^ | tcpt26: do you have something like this at the end of your menu.1st file http://paste.ubuntu.com/117491/ | 00:30 |
| dmi3on | Huufarted, its like data base every day created new file i need to send to open most of then on one computeer | 00:31 |
| tcpt26 | and i'm executing all the commands with sudo | 00:31 |
| n8tuser | dmi3on -> you need a script to auto send those securely | 00:31 |
| Huufarted | dmi3on, my suggestion is not to use vnc but to use ftp and transfer them that way | 00:31 |
| tcpt26 | ^hashbang^: yup | 00:31 |
| ^hashbang^ | tcpt26: check this out -> http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/installation/56461-grub-menu-lst-chainloader-help-needed.html | 00:32 |
| dmi3on | Huufarted, ok thxs very much \ | 00:32 |

| m1dn1ght | Can anyone point me in the direction of a good guide that will explain to me how to set up an account on my computer for someone to ssh into that will only allow them access to 1 specific directory (and it's subdirs) and nothing else? | 00:33 |
| rwparris2 | is it possible to issue several commands to the terminal that execute after the previous one finishes? like svn up;make ./configure;make install | 00:33 |
| Huufarted | rwparris, that should work fine | 00:34 |
| rwparris2 | oh, ; does that? | 00:34 |
| ^hashbang^ | tcpt26: shouldn't it be root(hd0,1)? | 00:34 |
| rwparris2 | neat :P thanks | 00:34 |
| kingsley | Would version 8.04 be a good choice for someone who has never used linux? | 00:34 |
| === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys | ||
| tcpt26 | i'll try | 00:35 |
| ^hashbang^ | tcpt26: try running grub /dev/sda | 00:35 |
| Huufarted | rwparris2, the semicolon will seperate individual commands. Another, slightly more ghetto way of doing it, would be to just copy the whole list of commands and paste them | 00:35 |
| ^hashbang^ | root (hd0,1) | 00:35 |
| tcpt26 | ^hashbang^: but when i had xp on sda2 the boot was (hd0,1) | 00:35 |
| Huufarted | and rwparris2 already left. bah... | 00:35 |
| jtaji | kingsley: you are likely better off with 8.10 | 00:36 |
| tcpt26 | i think | 00:36 |
| redvamp128 | kingsley: yes though it is recommended to run it live first give it a try . | 00:36 |
| exodus_ms | kingsley, 8.04 is an LTS (long term support) other than that there is not much difference as far as learning Linux is concerned with the different distributions | 00:36 |
| Dmole | m1dn1ght: look up jails | 00:36 |
| martin_ | exodus_ms, and the make file want's install compiz fusion :S | 00:36 |
| ^hashbang^ | tcpt26: grub is installed on the mbr correct? | 00:36 |
| tcpt26 | yup | 00:36 |
| afief | kingsley, rule of thumb with Linux: put the live CD in, if the drivers work, go on, if not, try another distro. repeat till you get close enough to "everything", then if you still want better support come to irc and forums | 00:36 |
| ^hashbang^ | tcpt26: ok and windows is installed on partition 1 of sda correct? | 00:36 |
| kingsley | jtaji: Can you elaborate on why you think 8.10 would be better for a linux newbie? | 00:36 |
| tcpt26 | yes | 00:36 |
| redvamp128 | kingsley: That way you could if you don't like it not be stuck with the removal of it. | 00:37 |
| === away_man_ftl is now known as iron_man_ftw | ||
| jtaji | kingsley: newer hardware support, bug fixes, etc.. why run an older version? | 00:37 |
| ^hashbang^ | tcpt26: ok then (hd0,0) is correct.. | 00:37 |
| exodus_ms | martin_, ok, tell me exactly why your are trying to compile nautilus | 00:37 |
| tcpt26 | ^hashbang^: but even when i update my kernel, the boot didnt change, i had to remove the menu.lst and the update-grub | 00:37 |
| n8tuser | jtaji -> far too many issues in 8.10, hang around here for a while and you'll notice | 00:37 |
| martin_ | ./configure exodus_ms make and make install | 00:37 |
| tcpt26 | ^hashbang^: and then update-grub | 00:37 |
| jtaji | n8tuser: 8.04 had issues for plenty too, and both work fine for most | 00:38 |
| ^hashbang^ | tcpt26: hmm | 00:38 |
| exodus_ms | martin_, no, why are you trying to compile instead of using the repos, are you looking for a more 'lightweight' file manager? | 00:38 |
| kingsley | jtaji: Thanks. I agree with your reasoning. You asked "why run an older version?". If I were to play devil's advocate, I might say that sometime newer software has more bugs. | 00:38 |
| martin_ | yessssssssssssssssssssss | 00:38 |
| Huufarted | I use 8.10 and the only problem I've had was having to get and compile ath5k for my Atheros. | 00:38 |
| Huufarted | and that was a matter of downloading and typing a whole 5 commands | 00:39 |
| exodus_ms | !info thunar | martin_ | 00:39 |
| ubottu | thunar (source: thunar): File Manager for Xfce. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.0-10ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 216 kB, installed size 704 kB | 00:39 |
| redvamp128 | jtaji: For me I had issues with Nvidia Drivers and 8.10 as well as It took a lot of work to get the Webcam working- as well as had to downgrade the flash 10 to flash 9 in order to browse the web. | 00:39 |
| ^hashbang^ | tcpt26: so what happens when you run grub /dev/sda; root (hd0,0); setup (hd0); reboot | 00:39 |
| tcpt26 | ^hashbang^: nothing changes | 00:39 |
| n8tuser | Huufarted -> sounds are okay? common complaint here, so as X related issues | 00:39 |
| inertial | are there any tools for querying an nfs server, like the smbclient tool for samba? | 00:39 |
| tcpt26 | ^hashbang^: and the windows options dont shows | 00:39 |
| ^hashbang^ | tcpt26: and when you boot, can you pick a kernel option from the boot menu? | 00:40 |
| exodus_ms | martin_, sudo apt-get install thunar | 00:40 |
| ^hashbang^ | tcpt26: hmm | 00:40 |
| tcpt26 | ^hashbang^: yup | 00:40 |
| jtaji | kingsley: I don't find that true in the linux world really, I would try 8.10 first | 00:40 |
| n8tuser | inertial -> once mounted, you can use your common linux tools | 00:40 |
| Huufarted | n8tuser, no issues with sound. Realtek audio card. The only issue I had with sound was I had to learn to turn up ALSA for the outbound | 00:40 |
| jtaji | redvamp128: people have problems with every version, that's why this channel is always busy! ;) | 00:40 |
| martin_ | atento estudio esto es CQ internacional | 00:40 |

| Sarai | LaGeek: I suppose. It doesn't seem to get along with compiz, always crashing my window manager. I think I liked the old one better | 01:04 |
| arch3angel | anyone get this working | 01:04 |
| taz_ | yes ubuntu | 01:04 |
| LaGeek | 8.10 taz_?? | 01:04 |
| gmmspence | hashbang on the client or server? | 01:04 |
| taz_ | yes 8.10 | 01:04 |
| ^hashbang^ | gmmspence: well the client, being that's the one that can't get to the internet correct? | 01:04 |
| arch3angel | i have 8.10 with a pantech um175 from alltel same as verizon | 01:05 |
| LaGeek | !alsa | 01:05 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:05 |
| cjae | fearful: first one said not mounted second command froze | 01:05 |
| foolz | I am confused - if I want to change the looks of folders and other icons in ubuntu, and I am using the emerald window decorator with compiz-fusion, should I be looking for some kind of emerald theme, or am I suppose to get a metacity theme to change that stuff? | 01:05 |

| gmmspence | hashbang - on a mac - what's the bsd command? | 01:05 |
| fearful | cjae: Yes and if it doesn't work give me your output for sudo fdisk -l | 01:05 |
| taz_ | frearful: where i can find java plugin for firefox ?? | 01:06 |
| geirha | foolz: emerald uses emerald themes, the default window decorator for compiz in ubuntu uses metacity themes | 01:06 |
| cjae | fearful: sudo kill -9 k3b? | 01:06 |
| fearful | cjae: sudo killall k3b | 01:06 |
| danopia | hey, what's the minimum amoutn of RAM that ubuntu server will install/work under? | 01:06 |
| Sarai | foolz: open the emerald theme manager | 01:06 |
| unbuttered_toast | also, the 8.10 volume control doesn't have a file menu. makes it a bit less easy to follow the documentation in places. | 01:06 |
| foolz | so emerald themes will also change the appearance of file folders and other icons (assuming that is part of the custom theme) ? | 01:07 |
| fearful | taz_ type sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin | 01:07 |

| fearful | taz_ I'll be here | 01:08 |
| geirha | foolz: No, emerald themes and metacity themes only decorate the titlebars and borders. You need an icon theme to change the icons | 01:08 |
| gmmspence | hashbang - lol how u mean? | 01:08 |

| tritium | Titan8990: iwconfig to set the wireless parameters. ifconfig to configure the interface like any other | 01:11 |
| unbuttered_toast | Titan8990: thinking you can specify WEP keys with iwconfig | 01:11 |
| taz_ | frearful: ok stand by | 01:11 |

| syockit | cjae: umm, nothing much. it turned out that your bug is already a known one | 01:12 |

| madmike | <^hashbang^ ctotem and xine tell me i need libdvdcss and kmplayer gives me an error | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | pm, i normallly just install the java from the repos.. and it works.. ive never had to go to java.com | 01:33 |
| unop | ^hashbang^, you can use DHCP to push DNS servers to the client - otherwise make changes to your DNS server configuration (which the clients use) | 01:33 |
| ^hashbang^ | madmike: hmm not sure sorry | 01:33 |
| fearful | taz_ tell me when its done | 01:33 |
| n8tuser | benjamin_1 -> okay, do you know what handshake protocol it uses to get this authentication? PAP chap? ? | 01:33 |
| unop | theUg, i believe the only solution at this time is to not use a passphrase for the default keyring | 01:33 |
| Schuenemann | pm use apt to install it. it sun-java-jre or something like that | 01:33 |
| madmike | ^hashbang^ np thanks though | 01:33 |
| ^hashbang^ | unop: well his pptp server is handing out IP's, and if he doesn't have DHCP relay setup, that would explain why the client isn't getting DNS | 01:33 |
| bastid_raZor | !medibuntu > madmike :: this will get things working for you. | 01:33 |
| ubottu | madmike, please see my private message | 01:33 |
| benjamin_1 | no, but if you informed me how to recieve this information I would be more than glad to find out | 01:33 |
| taz_ | fearful: | 01:34 |
| taz_ | The page you requested could not be found. | 01:34 |
| Schuenemann | for firefox, you have to create a link | 01:34 |
| n8tuser | !who | benjamin_1 | 01:34 |
| ubottu | benjamin_1: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 01:34 |
| fearful | schuenemann: sun-java6-jre | 01:34 |
| fearful | taz_: yes | 01:34 |
| Light121 | Anybody available to help me with installation issues? | 01:34 |
| theUg | unop: How do I change that? I was messing with gdm as per wtite-ups, but couldn’t make it work | 01:34 |
| fearful | !justask | Light121 | 01:34 |
| ubottu | Light121: 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. :-) | 01:34 |
| unop | theUg, use the gnome-keyring-manager | 01:34 |
| pm | Thanks for the replies but the Java in the repos isn't the latest versions. :\ | 01:34 |
| exodus_ms | pm, but it works! | 01:34 |
| benjamin_1 | n8tuser: sorry about that...thought i put your name in front | 01:35 |
| Light121 | Sorry about that. | 01:35 |
| benjamin_1 | ubotu: sorry | 01:35 |
| Light121 | ._. I cannot install Ubuntu 8.10 in MS Virtual PC. I have tried the following: "On the Install Ubuntu screen, where you have the F1-F6 prompts at the bottom, hit F4 and then select “Safe Graphics Mode”. Then hit F6, and you’ll see the command line for the install. Delete quiet splash and add vga=791 noreplace-paravirt at the end. Then follow the normal install procedure." I followed... | 01:35 |
| Light121 | ...install procedure and it always ends with "squashfs: version 3.3 (2007/10/31) Phillip Lougher" | 01:35 |

| FireVai | when i try to put a new partition on it.. its only 29gigs | 01:35 |

| unop | theUg, it's a GUI app - i don't really remember how to access it through the menu as i don't run gnome .. configuring seahorse would also do (i believe) | 01:36 |
| fearful | taz_ did it work? | 01:36 |
| n8tuser | benjamin_1 -> try sudo pppoeconf (am assuming it is installed on your system) | 01:36 |
| benjamin_1 | n8tuser: one second | 01:36 |

| danopia | ACPI: BIOS age (1998) fails cutoff (2000) | 01:39 |

| _hc | I want to get my trackpad working fully | 01:40 |
| pm | Anyone know if the latest Java is available in backports? | 01:40 |
| unop | theUg, well, again, i'm not sure as i don't run gnome - but when i configured it, i had to delete the 'default' keyring so that the next time an app wanted to use it, you would be prompted to set a password for it - at which point you leave it blank | 01:41 |
| n8tuser | benjamin_1 -> nope, but wireless acts like an ethernet.. anyhow do not have both interfaces eth0 and wlan0 connected to same router unless you know how to manipulate your route tables | 01:41 |
| Mr_Goodkat | good morning | 01:41 |
| linny1 | how can one get the unlock or add user button to work in ubuntu 8.04 i cant add users ? | 01:41 |
| Mr_Goodkat | does anyone have an idea why my umpc wont recognize my cf card? | 01:41 |
| theUg | unop: cool. If GUI fails, I’ll just delete the keyring file, I’ve read about that. Appreciated. | 01:42 |
| benjamin_1 | n8tuser: what?? | 01:42 |
| dmi3on | hi all, i have problem with network sharing between ubuntu and vista, vista folders i access from XP its ask for passwd, but from ubuntu when i double clik on vista PC i get just empty folder | 01:42 |

| tranceparance | Does anyone know how to connect to multiple VPN's in Ubuntu? | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | dmi3on, i have to enter the path to the share for some odd reaon for my machines ie: smb://windowsserver/sharename THEN it will ask | 01:43 |
| n8tuser | benjamin_1 -> responding to your query, and given you advise too | 01:43 |
| dmi3on | Dr_Willis, you mean sharename name of a folder ? | 01:44 |
| n8tuser | tranceparance -> you have multiple clients? | 01:44 |
| benjamin_1 | n8tuser: I'm sorry but what you said didn't make sense to me, can you please explain it better. | 01:44 |
| n8tuser | tranceparance -> you have multiple vpn clients? then for each connection you use one client.. be careful of your routing though | 01:44 |
| linny1 | how can one get the unlock or add user button to work in ubuntu 8.04 i cant add users ? | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | dmi3on, the shared folder has a 'share' name - yes... | 01:44 |
| leo_rockway | linny1: you need root privileges | 01:45 |
| tranceparance | N8... I would like to connect to a VPN and one in the USA and want to connect to both at the same time... the GUI for VPN in Ubuntu is of no use :-| | 01:45 |
| dmi3on | Dr_Willis, thanks | 01:45 |
| leo_rockway | linny1: try using gksudo | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | dmi3on, then i bookmark the location. :) | 01:45 |
| linny1 | leo_rockway: gk sudo what ? | 01:45 |
| jonaskoelker | Hi all. My laptop makes a clicking sound whenever I disconnect the power cord, after a somewhat longish delay (2-5 seconds). Does this happen to anyone else? What might be causing it? ISTR this starting to happen after a software upgrade... | 01:45 |
| n8tuser | benjamin_1 -> do not have two nics connected to same subnet, because your packet will not know which nic it will take to get out of your box.. if you dont understand this, you need to do some networking tutorial | 01:45 |
| baz | hey gang, everytime I boot I run some bash scripts (mainly to mount SSHFS drives). Whats a good, clean way to run/manage a bunch of boot scripts? I know I can stick things in "sessions", but it seems ugly to reference many disparate .sh files in there. Are there any little apps that help you organize lots of little .sh scripts? Is there some 'best practice' I could follow? Cheers... | 01:45 |
| linny1 | i thought that was the idea of the unlock button | 01:45 |
| craigbass1976 | is there a photocopy app for ubuntu? Not xsane, which just scans, butone that will complete the whole process? | 01:45 |
| dmi3on | Dr_Willis, ok :) | 01:46 |
| Tabidachi | jonaskoelker, what about when you plug the cord in? | 01:46 |
| leo_rockway | linny1: I don't know what the name of the app is. Alternatively you can do all that from console. | 01:46 |
| jonaskoelker | baz: create your own private /etc/init.d? | 01:46 |
| jonaskoelker | Tabidachi: no sound | 01:46 |
| leo_rockway | linny1: yes, that sounds weird, the unlock button should unlock | 01:46 |
| Tabidachi | jonaskoelker, what desktop enviroments are installed on your computer? | 01:46 |
| yoyoned | baz call the scrpts from /etc/rc.local | 01:47 |
| linny1 | leo_rockway: im aware i could do it in terminal im trying to establish if my install is bad there seems to be somthing wrong here | 01:47 |
| jonaskoelker | Tabidachi: gnome 2.24.1 (2008-10-24) | 01:47 |
| benjamin_1 | n8tuser: I'm sorry but I thought this area was for help, not know-it-alls putting down people who are learning. | 01:47 |
| unop | baz, if they're user scripts - what i would do is create a single script (called from the session) that invoked other scripts in turn | 01:47 |
| tranceparance | alternatively.... if you can suggest a good VPN GUI client that will connect to OpenVPN server... that would be a great help | 01:47 |
| n8tuser | benjamin_1 -> no no, it does not mean i have to hand hold you every step of the way, you have to do your part | 01:47 |
| linny1 | leo_rockway: you see the os is preinstalled on a dedicated server | 01:47 |
| leo_rockway | linny1: I don't use Gnome so I wouldn't be able to check it on my installation... perhaps somebody else could check it for you | 01:47 |
| linny1 | leo_rockway: yes me too i use openbox on my local machine | 01:48 |
| n8tuser | benjamin_1 -> you are asking me about concepts and i have no patience to explain the details to your today | 01:48 |
| jrib | linny1: what is the output « groups » | 01:48 |
| linny1 | jrib admin | 01:48 |
| mib_z0uxs4 | Hello all, im starting in the computer security field and im trying to execute a buffer overflow in a program "i made the app my self" and i turned off stack randomization in the OS and compiled with gcc with the -fno-stack-protector flag but no matter what i do i cant overwrite the eip pointer | 01:48 |
| mib_z0uxs4 | is there some other stack protection i need to disable? | 01:49 |
| benjamin_1 | n8tuser: Would tomorrow be a better day? | 01:49 |
| n8tuser | mib_z0uxs4 -> perhaps get an older kernel that has a known issues, newer ones are patched | 01:49 |
| n8tuser | benjamin_1 -> depends, of what i may have for breakfast | 01:49 |
| jonaskoelker | mib_z0uxs4: are you just trying to make your program crash? | 01:49 |
| mib_z0uxs4 | oh yes im tryin this on ubuntu 8.10 | 01:49 |
| baz | unop, your suggestion seems very good, what do u think of yoyoned's rc.local suggestion? Better, worse, matter of preference? | 01:49 |
| leo_rockway | benjamin_1: being told to read a tutorial is not being a know-it-all that puts down people | 01:49 |
| linny1 | jrib: the oputput is : admin | 01:49 |
| jrib | linny1: really? that's the full output? | 01:49 |
| linny1 | jrib: yes | 01:50 |
| jrib | linny1: erm, so you've messed with groups? | 01:50 |
| unop | baz, /etc/rc.local is run as root - which means all scripts spawned from it are run as root too - now, that might not be what you want | 01:50 |
| mib_z0uxs4 | jona: nope im trying to overwrite the eip pointer | 01:50 |
| Dillizar | what is the command line for removing flash plugin for mozilla | 01:50 |
| linny1 | jrib; no its a brand new dedicated server just logged onto it now | 01:50 |
| ^hashbang^ | mib_z0uxs4: check out http://kerneltrap.org/node/5783 | 01:50 |
| jonaskoelker | mib_z0uxs4: to a particular value, I take it? | 01:50 |
| mib_z0uxs4 | i can make the program seg fault | 01:50 |
| Tabidachi | jonaskoelker, may I private message you? | 01:50 |
| jonaskoelker | Tabidachi: sure | 01:50 |
| jrib | linny1: are you using ubuntu? | 01:50 |
| benjamin_1 | leo_rockway: I understand that. | 01:50 |
| linny1 | yes ubuntu 804 lts | 01:51 |
| mib_z0uxs4 | at this point im just trying to overwrite with AAA's | 01:51 |
| mib_z0uxs4 | the app i made has a buff size of 10 | 01:51 |
| jrib | linny1: did the install complete successfully? This is not normal behavior. Your user should have more groups... | 01:51 |
| unop | baz, the advantage of rc.local is that it is run on boot - even when a user has not logged on physically at a console - and that can be used to launch script in the background - but usually you'd write your own init script then | 01:51 |
| mib_z0uxs4 | and even if i send a 100 A's to it i cant overwrite eip | 01:51 |
| n8tuser | mib_z0uxs4 -> umm why not try it againts older kernels? you may have better luck with the older ones..like 2.6.11 perhaps.. | 01:52 |
| ^hashbang^ | mib_z0uxs4: did you take a look at http://kerneltrap.org/node/5783 | 01:52 |
| baz | unop, ahh, very important to knnow because actually some of the scripts would not work if run as root (which is sudo, right?) - strange I know, usually root is not safe but atleast gets u where u want to go - in my case i wouldn't be able to get there | 01:52 |
| linny1 | jrib: the hosting company install the os not me | 01:52 |

| Adross | I just upgraded my system, and suddenly my nvidia driver doesn't work | 01:53 |
| unop | baz, sudo can be used to run script as other users too - not just as root | 01:53 |
| Adross | is this a common problem? | 01:53 |
| linny1 | shaft0: you should install guest additions | 01:53 |
| shaft0 | n8tuser: well I have to click to get out of it, yes, right ctrl, and I can move it around the host desktop just fine | 01:53 |
| shaft0 | but clicks do not register after that. | 01:53 |
| shaft0 | guest additions? | 01:53 |
| bastid_raZor | Adross; reinstall the driver | 01:53 |
| Adross | bastid_raZor: tried that | 01:53 |
| n8tuser | shaft0 -> well as we have advised you, key combos to get it out of vmware and back to host -- switching back and forth | 01:54 |
| bastid_raZor | Adross; upgraded from what to what? | 01:54 |
| linny1 | shaft0: in the top menus on the vm there will be an option to install guest additions | 01:54 |

| fearful | dieg0: pm me, yes I do my native language | 02:02 |
| n8tuser | blueraven -> slight slowness, you want it hyperspeed? then use a fixed disk installed? | 02:03 |
| Mr_Goodkat | does anyone have an idea why my umpc wont recognize my cf card? | 02:03 |
| Mr_Goodkat | im using intrepid mid and dmesg says smth like pcmcia card removed/added when i plug it in | 02:03 |
| nickrud | mustangg, it simply records what desktop session you're running; if it doesn't exist it will be created. _Why_ it exists and breaks startup if it's not 600 I have no clue | 02:04 |
| blueraven | well, I think my hd in my laptop is 300MB/s because it's sata2..an external hd which is usb2 is like 20MB/s so wouldn't it run an operating system 10 times slower? | 02:04 |
| Mr_Goodkat | but there are no new devices under /dev | 02:04 |
| heatmzzr | what is the command to move a file as root? | 02:04 |

| diginux | heatmzzr: sudo mv file newfile | 02:04 |
| Mr_Goodkat | sudo mv /file /destination | 02:04 |
| n8tuser | blueraven -> dont forget the kernel is ran on ram not on hd, only if it needs something from the disk where it has to swap | 02:05 |
| dogmagitron | hello any of you good folks know how to automatically set the title of a tab in gnome-terminal to the last command executed? | 02:05 |
| television | How do I set up Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex) to always use my TV as the main monitor (instead of VGA or whatever)? My TV is plugged into the S-video on my Radeon HD 2400 PRO video card. | 02:05 |
| themusicgod1 | is there anything special I should be doing to make sure that the linux kernel detects both cores of an amd64 machine? | 02:05 |
| cedeel | or, sudo su, then mv file destination | 02:05 |
| themime | net | 02:05 |
| blueraven | n8tuser-does that include for windows? | 02:05 |
| _2 | does anyone know how to configure xorg to use the external monitor ? | 02:05 |
| tritium | cedeel: sudo -i, even | 02:05 |
| Mr_Goodkat | su changes the terminal to root, why use sudo and su in one command | 02:05 |
| _2 | cedeel sudo -i | 02:05 |
| tritium | Mr_Goodkat: don't. | 02:05 |
| n8tuser | blueraven -> yes, both uses ram | 02:05 |
| mcstinky | leo_rockway, thanks, that actually helped some =D I got into the game, but it's extremely laggy... could it be graphics driver issues? | 02:06 |
| cedeel | Mr_Goodkat, for the fun of it | 02:06 |
| Dieg0 | tks fearful! :) | 02:06 |
| Mr_Goodkat | lol cedeel | 02:06 |
| themime | i was playing around with my panels and removed the main on that had the network thing that you could click to display a list of available wireless connections - i can't find it again to readd it, only the network configuration and network connection, neither of which show that info | 02:06 |
| Mr_Goodkat | how do i change the menus/taskbar in ubuntu mid? | 02:06 |
| blueraven | n8tuser: so then for program files on startup, that part is slower | 02:06 |
| leo_rockway | mcstinky: could be. Depends on your drivers too. Try disabling compiz if you are using it... | 02:07 |
| mcstinky | I read somewhere that ubuntu has a native driver for the GMA 950 mobile graphics chip, is this true, or will I need to install a new graphics driver? | 02:07 |
| n8tuser | blueraven -> yes | 02:07 |
| Mr_Goodkat | it uses hildon as desktop but i didnt figure out how to confgure it | 02:07 |
| _2 | cedeel one could use sudo su - but sudo -i does the same thing basicly, with less overhead. | 02:07 |
| Consulta | Who can helpme with a computer stuff? | 02:07 |

| Mr_Goodkat | I read somewhere that ubuntu has a native driver for the GMA 950 mobile graphics chip, is this true, or will I need to install a new graphics driver? <--- the gma 950 works out of the box in interpid | 02:07 |

| Mr_Goodkat | driver is "intel" although some pcs work just with "vesa" and crash when you use "intel" | 02:08 |
| mcstinky | leo_rockway, ah right.. okay so it is not a driver issue then I can gather | 02:08 |
| leo_rockway | mcstinky: it could be a driver issue. You most likely need nonfree drivers. | 02:09 |
| leo_rockway | mcstinky: unless you have Intel. | 02:09 |
| Dr_Willis | GeffIsLegend, i would have to suggest checking the wine app database. | 02:09 |
| Dr_Willis | !appdb | GeffIsLegend | 02:09 |
| ubottu | GeffIsLegend: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 02:09 |
| Mr_Goodkat | how do i change the menus/taskbar in ubuntu mid? how can i configure the hildon desktop? | 02:10 |
| mcstinky | leo_rockway, my lspci lists a intel 945GM/GMS as VGA | 02:10 |
| Mr_Goodkat | there is not even a button/function to powerdown | 02:10 |
| booksbuggy | nope | 02:10 |
| booksbuggy | that's taken out for some reason | 02:11 |
| leo_rockway | mcstinky: then I don't know where the problem could be. | 02:11 |
| ngamber | anyone know anything about the recent problem with ubuntu dropping to a busybox shell on every boot? | 02:11 |
| Matir | ngamber, haven't run into it | 02:11 |
| booksbuggy | ngamber what you mean? | 02:11 |
| tritium | ngamber: sounds like an isolated problem | 02:11 |
| mcstinky | leo_rockway, you've been a great help so far, I got in to the game, so thank you for that =D I'm still reading the page for some fixes etc, maybe something else there fixes my problem | 02:12 |
| ngamber | tritium: there's quite a few people this this, on the forums, launchpad, etc. i figured it was pretty common | 02:12 |
| tritium | ngamber: ah, if that's the case, then I'd agree | 02:12 |
| booksbuggy | ngamber, what you mean by dropping to a busybox shell? | 02:13 |
| ngamber | tritium: no one has a solution that i've seen, except for upgrading to a newer kernel... just tried the latest intrepid and jaunty ones and neither's helped | 02:13 |
| [NB] | is there a fix for the shutdown splashscreen, freezes in firefox with nvidia 180 drivers? | 02:13 |
| leo_rockway | mcstinky: if you can't fix the problem leave a comment in that page and maybe someone else can tell you what's going on. I rarely use WINE and I never played any games with it, so unfortunately that's as much as I can help you. | 02:13 |
| tritium | ngamber: I've not run into the problem. | 02:13 |
| ngamber | booksbuggy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765195 | 02:13 |

| Mr_Goodkat | is there a support site/channel for ubuntu mid? | 02:13 |
| themime | er, i forgot to add, that shows wireless connections available* | 02:14 |
| Mr_Goodkat | its pretty annoying to setup, im gonna try netbook remix next | 02:14 |
| GeffIsLegend1 | hey anyone mind helping me with my sound, the sound from World of Warcraft doesnt seem to work AND ventrilo wont detect my Mic when i try to set it up | 02:14 |
| booksbuggy | ngamber, you mean while it was booting up normally when you try to use it? | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | ventrilo under wine can be problematic.. and using 2 wine apps that both access the sound card can be problemnatic | 02:14 |
| ngamber | booksbuggy: yeah, i managed to get it to install by adding all_generic_ide to the kernel line in grub | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Mr_Goodkat, using the eeebuntu thing now on my Netbook. it works very well | 02:15 |
| ngamber | booksbuggy: but that's a workaround, and makes any disk access incredibly slow | 02:15 |
| booksbuggy | ngamber, my computer used to do that | 02:15 |
| booksbuggy | ngamber, not anymore though | 02:15 |
| mcstinky | leo_rockway, I don't plan on doing much gaming either, but I'm surprised how well it handles windows applications, I'm thinking about trying office | 02:15 |
| booksbuggy | ngamber, i just went in and secured the wiring in my computer then it is fine again | 02:16 |
| Mr_Goodkat | <Dr_Willis> Mr_Goodkat, using the eeebuntu thing now on my Netbook. it works very well <-- im having a u820 with 5,9" touchscreen, do you think netbook will be suitable? | 02:16 |
| booksbuggy | ngamber, haven't had that since | 02:16 |
| ngamber | booksbuggy: i _did_ just plug this drive in, i suppose i'll try that. thanks | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Mr_Goodkat, try it and see is all i can say. Thats the Nokia thing? You may have to tweak it to get it working right. | 02:16 |
| booksbuggy | ngamber, this is a 256 ram computer by the way XD | 02:17 |
| mikeyy | hi guys | 02:17 |
| fearful | hello | 02:17 |
| mikeyy | what is ubuntu? | 02:17 |
| leo_rockway | mcstinky: I heard Crossover Office works perfectly, but it's not free as in beer. | 02:17 |
| Mr_Goodkat | no its fujitsu, i tried ubuntu mid but the wifi is laggy and cf cards dont work and the gui is pretty inconvenient | 02:17 |
| mikeyy | my friend told me bout it, but i dont understand | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | !ubuntu | mikeyy | 02:17 |
| ubottu | mikeyy: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 02:17 |
| ngamber | booksbuggy: mine's 8192 :p | 02:17 |
| subpar | mikeyy, it's an operating system, like windows, or Mac Os/X | 02:17 |
| mikeyy | whats linux? is it a program? | 02:17 |
| fearful | mikeyy: Ubuntu is a linux operating system based on debian and uses GNOME. | 02:17 |
| mikeyy | is it a windows? | 02:17 |
| mikeyy | or a mac? | 02:17 |
| leo_rockway | mcstinky: Crossover Office is pretty much a WINE modified to work seamless with MS Office | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | mikeyy, its neither... | 02:18 |
| fearful | mikeyy: its like linux | 02:18 |
| subpar | mikeyy, no it has nothing to do with microsoft or apple | 02:18 |
| subpar | though it'll run on any computer | 02:18 |
| leo_rockway | mikeyy: GNU/Linux is a free as in freedom operating system | 02:18 |
| leo_rockway | mikeyy: Ubuntu is just one of the many distributions | 02:18 |
| mikeyy | whats GNU? is that a windows? | 02:18 |
| booksbuggy | ngamber, 8192 mb ram? | 02:18 |
| tranceparance | Ubuntu = Linux based operating system = open source = free :-) | 02:18 |
| mikeyy | whats a distribution? | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | mikeyy, read up on gnu.org | 02:18 |
| dogmagitron | mikeyy: ubuntu - is a word that means humanity towards others | 02:19 |
| leo_rockway | mikeyy: go to gnu.org fsf.org and read as much as you can | 02:19 |
| Mr_Goodkat | Dr_Willis, how big is the screen of the eeepc? | 02:19 |
| tranceparance | best is to bring yourself up to speed... check out ubuntu.com | 02:19 |
| cedeel | mikeyy, you know wikipedia? | 02:19 |
| fearful | mikeyy: distributions mean that there is more than one, there is Kubuntu, Edubunto, Xubuntu and of course Ubuntu | 02:19 |
| mikeyy | dogmagitron: how do i get humanity towards others? | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Mr_Goodkat, mine is 9.? i think... | 02:19 |
| mikeyy | that sounds great | 02:19 |
| dogmagitron | mikeyy: or it could also mean - I am who I am because of who we all are | 02:19 |
| Mr_Goodkat | k | 02:19 |
| mikeyy | can i get some of that? | 02:19 |
| dogmagitron | mikeyy sure | 02:19 |
| fearful | mikeyy: you can obtain any of them you like, www.ubuntu.com | 02:19 |
| mikeyy | how many do i need? | 02:19 |
| cedeel | mikeyy, you know wikipedia? | 02:20 |
| Deichgraf | moin, I just started tracker and configured some directories. tracker-status says since a few hours that it is "Initializing", but my hard disk is heavily busy, my CPU as well... | 02:20 |
| dogmagitron | mikeyy just one | 02:20 |
| fearful | mikeyy: completely free | 02:20 |
| Deichgraf | is this a normal behaviour? | 02:20 |
| izinucs | I've got an ssh question.. I just changed /etc/hosts to reflect a 192.xxx address of my server on the lan so I can just ssh <servername> and then connect.. I say yes to the RSA key fingerprint and then try to enter a password.. It doesn't like the password.. if I use <server>@<ip_address> it uses the same password with no problem.. How do I remedy this? | 02:20 |
| dogmagitron | so does anyone know whether it is possible to change the title of a tab in gnome-terminal to match the last command executed | 02:20 |
| cedeel | Deichgraf, what tracker? bt? | 02:20 |
| fearful | mikeyy: download a LiveCD and try it out, you can use it without having to install it | 02:21 |
| mikeyy | how many livecd's do i need? | 02:21 |
| fearful | mikeyy: 1 | 02:21 |
| Dr_Willis | dogmagitron, with the bash prompt/terminal escape codes.. it might be possible. I know you can change xterm titles.. and if the tab reflexts the title bar text.. it could be done | 02:21 |
| NetEcho | there you go snakedoc | 02:21 |
| cedeel | izinucs, you need to use <user>@<ip> | 02:21 |
| leo_rockway | izinucs: try ssh <username>@<servername> | 02:21 |
| Deichgraf | cedeel: I use tracker-search / trackerd | 02:21 |
| snakedoc | ok. i have a question when anyone gets a moment | 02:21 |

| snakedoc | i installed ubuntu today when my linpus crashed. it doesnt recognize my atheros chipset. anyone know what to do? | 02:22 |
| fearful | mikeyy: no ubuntu is nothing to do with Microsoft or Macintosh, its completely different Operating System | 02:22 |
| leo_rockway | mikeyy: it's not Windows nor Mac, it's GNU/Linux. You could install it if you want or you can try it out without installing it. | 02:22 |
| mikeyy | whats a snakedoc? | 02:22 |
| subpar | mikeyy, I would suggest reading up on wikipedia about ubuntu and linux so you have a little bit more of an idea what you are doing before you install ubuntu | 02:22 |

| dogmagitron | mikeyy: ubuntu is not windows or mac | 02:23 |
| cedeel | Consulta, hey... | 02:23 |
| mikeyy | that makes sense | 02:23 |

| Mr_Goodkat | did you try madwifi? | 02:23 |
| mikeyy | dogmagitron: its both? | 02:23 |
| [NB] | linux-backport-generic-thingy | 02:23 |
| dogmagitron | mikeyy: it is neither | 02:23 |
| snakedoc | i couldnt figure how to get it on that computer | 02:23 |
| izinucs | cedeel, yes.. I've been using <servername>@ip_address however I wanted to shorten it.. thus the change in the hosts file.. you were right.. but not for my question.. | 02:24 |
| snakedoc | even when i hardwire into network it wont connect | 02:24 |
| Dr_Willis | dogmagitron, bash prompt howto - i think mentions how to change xterm title . or google for 'xterm title codes' as for the gnome bit. You may want to ask in #gnome - they may know somthing more specific | 02:24 |
| mikeyy | dogmagitron: so... its like... DOS? | 02:24 |
| Dr_Willis | 'like dos in the wsay that dos is like windows and ox-s and bsd. and c64, and... in that they are all computer operating systems' | 02:24 |
| snakedoc | it says its "unclaimed" Mr_Goodkat | 02:24 |
| dogmagitron | Dr_Willis: ok thanks :) | 02:24 |
| fearful | mikeyy: why don't you read up on it on wikipedia you'll understand more | 02:24 |
| cedeel | izinucs, is your servername identical to your username? | 02:24 |
| loveissuicide | hello, does anyone know how to setup a wireless xbox 360 controller on ubuntu 8.10? I know there is a tutorial for dapper but not for intrepid | 02:24 |
| leo_rockway | mikeyy: you can't be told what GNU/Linux is, you have to see it for yourself. | 02:24 |
| [NB] | search google and read about all the bug reports before u even try to install ubuntu lol | 02:24 |
| dogmagitron | mikeyy: in a twisted sort of way yes | 02:25 |
| mikeyy | leo_rockway: like god? | 02:25 |
| izinucs | cedeel, yes | 02:25 |
| leo_rockway | mikeyy: like the matrix | 02:25 |

| izinucs | cedeel, so if the user name is the same as the server name then there's a conflict? | 02:26 |
| izinucs | *confusion | 02:26 |
| leo_rockway | izinucs: I don't think that would be a conflict, just call it ssh <whatever>@<whatever> | 02:27 |
| cedeel | izinucs, if your local and remote usernames matches then there is no need to enter one, just ssh <servername> | 02:27 |
| dogmagitron | dogmagitron | 02:27 |

| loveissuicide | xiaopi: is 3 much more faster? | 03:04 |
| xiaopi | loveissuicide, Upgrade to 3 :) It's way faster for me | 03:04 |
| cedeel | campbell, man apt-get | 03:04 |
| timahvo1 | Kkoala: says on the download page it needs jre. do you have java installed ? | 03:04 |
| cedeel | or man apt-cache | 03:04 |
| loveissuicide | xiaopi: ok | 03:04 |
| joshjtl | hi | 03:05 |
| Kkoala | I think so | 03:05 |
| leo_rockway | loveissuicide: you can also try GNU Office (Abiword and GNUmeric) | 03:05 |
| Kkoala | how do I find out | 03:05 |
| gnutron | campbell: dpkg -l in a terminal | 03:05 |
| leo_rockway | campbell: dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstalled | 03:05 |
| timahvo1 | Kkoala: after unziping it do you see a README or INSTALL file anywhere? | 03:06 |
| cedeel | Kkoala, what exactly troubles you? | 03:06 |
| timahvo1 | should be there | 03:06 |
| loveissuicide | does abiword and gnumeric support office files? i wouldn't care the format but sometimes i have to work with these files | 03:06 |
| campbell | leo_rockway: just what I was looking for; thanks everyone | 03:06 |
| xiaopi | loveissuicide, "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main" | 03:06 |
| dmphotography | What program is used to search notes on linux? In other words, I can search for a word or phrase in text files in the same directory. . | 03:06 |

| Kkoala | I'll unzip | 03:06 |
| leo_rockway | campbell: sorry, it's deinstall not deinstalled | 03:06 |
| loveissuicide | xiaopi: thanks! | 03:07 |
| dmphotography | Does anyone use anything like that? | 03:07 |
| xiaopi | loveissuicide, if you share with people using last Office2007 files, you'll often be stuck unless OpenOffice3 (GNUmeric just doesn't do the job with excel 2007 files for ex) | 03:07 |
| Kkoala | I have the dir and a bunch of folders within | 03:07 |

| Consulta | it work | 03:30 |
| timahvo1_ | Kkoala: hey I got disconnected. did you get sorted ? | 03:30 |
| booksbuggy | worked? | 03:30 |
| xnevermore | What sort of themes are those listed in System->Preferences->Appearance (i.e. what do I look for on gnome-look.org to install a new one)? | 03:30 |
| fearful | consulta the shutdown? | 03:30 |
| TheMusicGuy | would it be possible to make a panel that hides itself whenever it has a window list with less than 2 windows in it? | 03:30 |
| taz | fearful: yes it already mark in the box | 03:30 |
| snakedoc | then worst case scenario, i start from scratch and do method 2 | 03:30 |
| tritium | snakedoc: if you choose to use method 2 instead, please "sudo make unload && sud make uninstall" | 03:31 |
| aex | when i sudo one time and exit, it takes too long to ask again for password next time i run sudo, why is that | 03:31 |
| sigma92 | _2: so i installed lm-sensors and did sensors detect and it added the modules, i rebooted, acpi -V still reports 40 celsius | 03:31 |
| sigma92 | and powertop still doesn't work | 03:31 |
| fearful | taz can you check in another site with java if it is working | 03:31 |
| taz | fearful: ok | 03:31 |
| blizzle | xnevermore, You want gtk themes in all probability. | 03:31 |
| _2 | sigma92 woops. | 03:31 |
| sophia | #firefox | 03:31 |
| tritium | snakedoc: if you unload and uninstall, you can safely proceed to method 2 | 03:31 |
| sigma92 | _2: no i'm sure you were on the right track, it loaded a coretemp module that wasn't before | 03:32 |
| _2 | sigma92 that's the full extent of my knowledge on that point. | 03:32 |
| snakedoc | its finishing the reboot right now. im guna see if it worked | 03:32 |

| snakedoc | tritium, there are 2 .deb and i tried both with the same issues | 03:41 |
| jbmigel | _2 hmm ok so after you plug in the monitor does it mess up right away or do you have to hit FunC-F2 or whatever to turn it on first | 03:41 |
| PorkSoda | I have the problem on 2 boxes, anr tried reinstalling flash, but I'm wondering if any one has a fix for it. | 03:42 |
| Dexi | tritium: system>prefernces>sound: Playback "MY Card (OSS)" Music and Movies "My Card (OSS)" | 03:42 |
| tritium | snakedoc: if you use the graphical file manager (called nautilus), double-click the .deb, and it should open it in gdebi, which will automatically resolve the dependencies | 03:42 |
| _2 | jbmigel it's hosed at once | 03:42 |
| JPSman | where can I find a chat about more advanced matters, like capturing the data from the USB drawing pad I have that plugs into my virtualbox windows to create a driver for linux? | 03:42 |
| _2 | jbmigel it's really odd, it worked the very first time, then after that kablamb | 03:43 |
| blizzle | JPSman, If it's a wacom pad, linux drivers are already available and should be available. | 03:43 |
| [NB] | JPSman: ubuntu forums? :D | 03:43 |
| [NB] | anyone know where i could find a preconfigured blackbox | 03:44 |
| snakedoc | tritium, i opened where the file is saved. now what? | 03:44 |
| sigma92 | does anyone know how to make java fonts (like in openoffice) match the fonts of my gtk theme? | 03:44 |
| tritium | !sound | Dexi, have you followed this? | 03:44 |
| ubottu | Dexi, have you followed this?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 03:44 |
| jbmigel | _2 ya lots of crazy things can go wrong with monitors... have you put any special settings in your xorg.conf for it yet? | 03:44 |

| _2 | jbmigel i got one guy in #debian to talk to me about it, seemed at first like a nice enough chap. gave me one command to run "an xrandr command of course" which turned off both the lcd and the crt. when i told him what it did, he got mad at me. and stopped talking to me. | 04:04 |
| _2 | jbmigel sure. that's where i have been working, because xorg is hosed. | 04:04 |

| chu_ | fwaokda hat's the problem? | 04:05 |
| _2 | or restart x | 04:05 |
| mib_ytomitbs | Here's that pastbin mates: http://pastebin.com/m3b79001f | 04:05 |
| mib_ytomitbs | It's rather long, I fear. | 04:05 |
| soreau | Kkoala: Can you provide the link from where you downloaded this package? | 04:05 |
| Kkoala | soreau: | 04:05 |
| Kkoala | yes | 04:05 |
| jbmigel | _2 ya maybe... so ok i dont get it you want to fix xorg first then right and worry about external monitor later | 04:06 |
| Lucifer_Cat | ok so someone suggested this before, and im following up on it... i installed *buntu, and then i installed packages like sshd and tightvnc etc. now what should i do so i dont have to install them again the next time i do a clean install? | 04:06 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: In a konsole, you can get all the battery info you need: cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/* | 04:06 |
| soreau | mib_ytomitbs: You need to install the driver in Sys>Admin>Hardware Drivers | 04:06 |
| chu_ | constantine_ if you use synaptic I believe they have all the officially *supported* themes available | 04:06 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, thanks! | 04:06 |
| fwaokda | ill try that | 04:06 |
| _2 | jbmigel oddly enough consoles display correctly in both the lcd and the crt and xorg works if the external is not plugged in. | 04:06 |
| mib_ytomitbs | soreau, if I do that, I get a solid white screen upon reboot. | 04:06 |
| simzee | Hello! I use Ubuntu Eee (latest version), and I try to connect with my Huawei E169 usb modem, which should work out of the box, but it just gets ignored somehow. I use an Asus Eee 900 (as far as i remember) Could anyone tell me what to do now? ._. | 04:06 |

| EtFb | fwaokda: The key information is the total manufactured capacity and the last charge. You can expect a battery to lose its ability to fully charge over time. | 04:06 |
| soreau | mib_ytomitbs: That means it's installing it wrong, most likely because you used envy or tried to install a driver manually | 04:07 |
| _2 | jbmigel i would like to setup xorg to use only the crt if i could | 04:07 |
| snakedoc | does anyone know how to work evolution mail with gmail account? | 04:07 |
| MaT-dg | the livecd asks me for username and password... | 04:07 |
| mib_ytomitbs | soreau, how can I wipe all driver and xorg settings, and then retry this? | 04:07 |
| jbmigel | _2 it really sounds to me like you just need to give the right xrandr command perhaps just before you plug in the external | 04:07 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, says that directory doesn't exist | 04:07 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: Do you have /proc/acpi? Look in there. I may have misremembered the path from there. | 04:08 |
| jbmigel | _2 you saw the second example command in the link i sent? it says it will give you external monitor only | 04:08 |
| snakedoc | does anyone know how to work evolution mail with gmail account? | 04:08 |
| _2 | jbmigel yep | 04:08 |
| mib_ytomitbs | I mean, I am to the point where I am considering doing a fresh install.. This is absurd. | 04:08 |
| soreau | Kkoala: The program you have downloaded is for windows, not linux. If there is no linux version of the program already you can try running it with wine (ask in #wine) | 04:08 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, it was BAT1 :) | 04:08 |
| fwaokda | not BAT0 | 04:08 |
| fwaokda | but.. | 04:08 |
| rww | snakedoc: The settings you need are at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799&topic=12920 (for IMAP) or http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287&topic=12917 (for POP). | 04:08 |
| jbmigel | _2 and it didnt help at all? | 04:08 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: Bloody one-based counting... it's always a bad idea... | 04:08 |
| _2 | jbmigel and tested it. i have external monitor, just can see crap on it | 04:08 |
| snakedoc | rww, what are the 2 designations? | 04:08 |
| rww | MaT-dg: Try putting in "ubuntu" for the username and leave the password blank | 04:09 |
| soreau | mib_ytomitbs: Reinstall ubuntu. Or dist-upgrade might work | 04:09 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, it's just saying its a dir with no information other than that :( | 04:09 |
| jbmigel | _2 can you be more specific? is it blurry or blank or bright or what | 04:09 |
| MaT-dg | rww: 'incorrect' xD | 04:09 |
| floatboat | can someone here help me use ntop | 04:09 |
| _2 | jbmigel like i said that command seems to assume that xorg just works, and all i want to do is dirrect it to a screen. | 04:09 |
| rww | snakedoc: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=75725 | 04:09 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/* | 04:09 |
| mib_ytomitbs | soreau, I'm upgrading to 8.10 now. once I reboot will it clear all my xorg and driver configs? | 04:09 |
| EtFb | That will give you the contents of every file inside the directory | 04:10 |
| soreau | mib_ytomitbs: You're upgrading at this very moment? | 04:10 |
| chu_ | I guess so | 04:10 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, SWEET :) now what did you say was the only important info? | 04:10 |
| _2 | jbmigel sure i'll try to describe it. light blue mostly devided into three sections left middle and right, with an extreemly large cursor fo two vertical white bars in the middle division. | 04:10 |
| snowy | hi. I just installed matlab on my ubuntu (love this thing), but I might have done something stupid by using sudo during the install and putting it in /usr/local Now if I don't run it with sudo it gives me all these problems. I tried changing ownership for /usr/lib/matlab but no dice. any easy way of fixing this without reinstalling? | 04:11 |
| jbmigel | _2 wow thats awesome man! | 04:11 |
| Kkoala | soreau: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=152032&use_mirror=superb-east&filename=aiotrade-bin-1.0.3a.zip&92392371 | 04:11 |
| _2 | jbmigel the dividing marks are solid black | 04:11 |
| soreau | snowy: Make sure the related directories in ~/. are owned by your user | 04:11 |
| Auctioneldlama | sorea, this is the guy asking about ATI issues. What was the last thing you said to me like 30 seconds ago? | 04:12 |
| _2 | jbmigel two of them about half an inch wide top to bottom. | 04:12 |
| jbmigel | _2 do you think maybe you are trying to use a resolution the screen doesnt support? try 640x480 in the xrandr command | 04:12 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: "design capacity" tells you what the maximum charge capacity was when the battery was manufactured. It's measured in mAh (milliamp hours). "last full capacity" says how fully it was charged the last time you charged it. That will start out close to the d.c. but get lower over time; there's nothing you can do about that, it's normal. | 04:12 |
| soreau | Kkoala: The program you have downloaded is for windows, not linux. If there is no linux version of the program already you can try running it with wine (ask in #wine) | 04:12 |
| === Peddy is now known as Peddyt | ||
| rww | Auctioneldlama: [20:10:24]<soreau>mib_ytomitbs: You're upgrading at this very moment? | 04:12 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: "remaining capacity" is how much charge the battery has right now. | 04:12 |
| _2 | jbmigel that crt is a little old but does everyting from 320x200 to 1600x1280 | 04:13 |
| Auctioneldlama | Soreau, Oh yes I am. I figured upgrade now, so if I did get it working on 8.04, and upgraded it later, it could mess it up. | 04:13 |
| Peddyt | How would I, from command line, install a list of packages formatted like this?: http://pastebin.com/m641f1ac7 | 04:13 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: For example, my brand-new Toshiba A300 has a design capacity of 4000mAh, but because the battery is a few weeks old, it can't charge more than 3863mAh. In a year's time, the way I use my laptops, that will probably be down to 2000 or so. | 04:13 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, :( the one i bought was supposed to be DC @ 5200mAh, yet it says its 4400mAh dang ebay | 04:14 |
| snowy | soreau: you are right, my .matlab is owned by root. I tried sudo chown -R myusername .matlab/ but no luck | 04:14 |
| jbmigel | _2 could you try a different resolution and see if the screen changes or stays the same? | 04:14 |
| Jaan|Perfect | hi all | 04:14 |
| _2 | Peddyt LIST="your package list here" ;sudo apt-get install $LIST | 04:14 |
| Jaan|Perfect | good morning | 04:14 |
| Jaan|Perfect | i would like to test my laptop [ almost 3 years old ] | 04:14 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: What does it say for the model number? | 04:14 |
| Jaan|Perfect | i have installed ubuntu 8.10 inteprid [ 600+ mb iso file] in vmware workstation | 04:14 |
| Jaan|Perfect | how do i test my laptop and send a report to the laptop wiki ? | 04:14 |
| FloodBot1 | Jaan|Perfect: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:14 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, model number is blank | 04:14 |
| soreau | Auctioneldlama: Alright. In that case, don't try to install the proprietary driver (in Sys>Prefs>HW Drivers) since Intrepid has the open radeon driver version that supports your card. Chances are you will need to delete xorg.conf altogether after the upgrade is finished (since it will load the correct driver by default) | 04:15 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, i guess someone just "made" it | 04:15 |
| EtFb | Jaan|Perfect: You can't. If you're running in VMware, you can't get a clear idea of how it's working in your laptop, because it isn't. | 04:15 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: Odd! | 04:15 |
| soreau | snowy: Well that was my one and only guess, sorry | 04:15 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: Pastebin the output for me; I'm curious. | 04:15 |

| === stickboyy is now known as stickboy | ||
| Auctioneldlama | soreau, should I erase xorg.conf before it finishes updating? | 04:15 |
| soreau | Auctioneldlama: No, after | 04:16 |
| Jaan|Perfect | ok, i need to install on my laptop | 04:16 |
| EtFb | chu_: My experience is that you can't trust them to work. Sometimes even a new kernel upgrade changes them. | 04:16 |

| bartek | Hi there. I want to be able to access my machine via ssh from outside my network (behind a router). I forwarded port 1985 (my ssh port) to the ubuntu boxes ip address on the network but when I do ssh <my external ip> -p1985 it just sits there and eventually closes connection. I can do ssh localhost -p1985 quite fine though. Any tips? | 04:16 |
| linux_guy | that should be a requirement for joining here | 04:16 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, http://rafb.net/p/JD4O5Z89.html | 04:16 |
| Jaan|Perfect | but how do i install an iso file on my laptop ? | 04:16 |
| _2 | jbmigel ok it changes size. but the picture is exactly the same. | 04:16 |
| Auctioneldlama | soreau, Oh alright. And after wards, I don't have to install anything, just delete xorg.conf, and reboot and I'm ready to go? Will that also support 3d acceleration so I can play 3d games and use compiz with my dual screen setup? | 04:16 |
| chu_ | Yeah, I was thinking that too (As 8.10 doesn't detected my battery), what are the chances of 9.10 running *stable* now? | 04:16 |
| soreau | snowy: That is correct. As user from a terminal use: sudo chown -R $LOGNAME ~/.matlab | 04:16 |
| Peddyt | _2, the package list is in a text file. | 04:16 |
| chu_ | 9.04 rather | 04:17 |
| Cpudan80 | bartek: shh ip -p 1985 | 04:17 |
| Droopsta915 | What should I install when installing wine? wine, wine-dev, winefish? | 04:17 |
| Cpudan80 | bartek: Are you sure you got the space between the p and the port # ? | 04:17 |
| Auctioneldlama | droopsta915: Wine | 04:17 |
| Peddyt | _2, the package list is in a text file, which is formatted like the pastebin paste that I mentioned above. I can't just copy and paste it into apt-get, because it's oddly formatted. | 04:17 |
| snowy | soreau: Thanks, it worked :) | 04:17 |
| Auctioneldlama | soreau? | 04:17 |
| Droopsta915 | thanks | 04:17 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: Weird. Ah well, what did it cost you? | 04:17 |
| soreau | Auctioneldlama: It does support 3D acceleration and you can play games but the proprietary drivers work better for graphically intense games. The open driver is better for compiz and video playback | 04:18 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, DC: 48.8wh ?? | 04:18 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, thats what the gnome one says | 04:18 |
| jbmigel | _2 wow it really seems like its close to working... how about if you use the third xrandr command... and try to just set your laptops monitor active | 04:18 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, does 48.8wh = 4400mAh ? | 04:18 |
| bartek | Cpudan80: uh, I dont think the space matters because I've never used a space after a single dash (-) arg. But I tried it with a space and it doesn't work either | 04:18 |
| _2 | Peddyt so use grep, cut, to format it | 04:18 |
| linux_guy | is there a driver that will allow compiz and video files to play nicely? | 04:18 |
| Auctioneldlama | soreau: Oh I see. So all I have to do is just let the distro upgrade, reboot, then delete xorg.conf, reboot again, and everything should work just dandy? | 04:18 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: I don't know enough about electronics to even begin to guess. | 04:18 |
| Cpudan80 | bartek: no firewalls on the serveR? | 04:19 |
| Cpudan80 | I cant type today apparently | 04:19 |
| Peddyt | _2, how would I do that? | 04:19 |
| prince_jammys | Peddyt: it's in the format readably by dpkg --set-selections | 04:19 |
| prince_jammys | *readable | 04:19 |
| soreau | Auctioneldlama: Finish upgrade, rename xorg.conf to xorg.conf.bak then reboot and it should work (hopefully) | 04:19 |
| jtaji | fwaokda: divide the 48.8Wh by the battery voltage, then multiply by 1000, and you'll have mAh | 04:20 |
| bartek | Cpudan80: good point, I setup iptables. I'll check them out | 04:20 |
| * linux_guy pulls his hair out | 04:20 | |
| EtFb | fwaokda: In Australia at the moment, a ~4000mAh battery tends to cost around $100 AUD, which is about 50 euros. | 04:20 |
| bartek | totally forgot :) | 04:20 |
| Auctioneldlama | Soreau: Oh ok, just like triple checking here: So I let the distro finish (don't reboot yet?) delete xorg.conf (or rename it) and then reboot? | 04:20 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: Or twice that if you want a warranty... | 04:20 |
| Peddyt | prince_jammys, I understand, but how would I install it? I do 'dpkg --set-selections installed-software.txt', what do I do after that? | 04:20 |
| Cpudan80 | easy to forget about | 04:20 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, haha ok ;) i paid: 52.95 USD | 04:20 |

| Peddyt | * | 04:21 |
| soreau | ! ask | redline565353: | 04:21 |
| ubottu | redline565353:: 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. :-) | 04:21 |
| EtFb | fwaokda: You did OK then. Expect it to last a year and a half of really solid use (ie draining and charging entirely every single day) and you'll be OK. | 04:21 |
| fwaokda | EtFb, alright well thanks been a big help | 04:22 |
| b3z3rk3r | fwaokda, never drain your battery fully | 04:22 |
| Auctioneldlama | soreau, So if I do what I said above, it should work, correct? | 04:22 |
| b3z3rk3r | Li-ion batteries like to be charged frequently | 04:22 |
| Droopsta915 | Will wine automatically try to install my .exe file when I double click on it? | 04:22 |
| prince_jammys | Peddyt: sudo dpkg --set-selections < yourfile && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade | 04:22 |
| soreau | Auctioneldlama: Yes, but I will be working and may or may not be available. If it doesn't work, the very best thing you can do is ask in #compiz-fusion in about 10 hours from now | 04:22 |
| Hector | GASP. | 04:22 |
| Auctioneldlama | soreau Alright will do. Too bad I have to work and don't get back until 2:25 EST. | 04:23 |
| EtFb | b3z3rk3r: There's a lot of advice around about batteries. The advice I got from experts at the local battery shop boils down to: you get 1000 cycles (ie charge+drain = 1 cycle) and then it's an ideal anchor for a small boat. | 04:23 |
| redline565353 | i'm having problems when trying to install cd drive only loads grub and gets to the "setup" menu and then after that it says error loading bootdisk. i'm downloading another copy and going to try that but i need to think of other ways to install ubuntu | 04:23 |
| Auctioneldlama | soreau, I'll try then. Think you could be on around that time if you get the chance? | 04:23 |
| Peddyt | prince_jammys, there's no program called dselect-upgrade... | 04:23 |
| soreau | Auctioneldlama: Just ping me, I'll be on later most likely (around this time tomorrow) | 04:23 |
| genii-around | prince_jammys: First he needs to put a > between: dpkg --set-selections and: installed-software.txt | 04:23 |
| _2 | xrandr really needs a man page | 04:23 |
| prince_jammys | Peddyt: it's not a prog. it's an apt-get action | 04:23 |
| Auctioneldlama | soreau, Ok thanks for the help mate. Later everyone! | 04:23 |
| jbmigel | _2 it totally has one already | 04:23 |
| Peddyt | oops | 04:24 |
| _2 | jbmigel i can turn either one off, or both, but there doesn't seem to be an --on switch | 04:24 |
| _2 | jbmigel you call that a man page ? | 04:24 |
| Peddyt | Thanks prince_jammys, that did it, I accidentally left off the 'apt-get' bit. It's working now, thanks again :) | 04:24 |
| bartek | Cpudan80: looks like I'm not binding login to any specific ip address, atleast from what I can tell (this machine actually has no iptables, and the sshd config is as is pretty much) | 04:25 |
| soreau | _2: What are you trying to do now? (Can you restate your issue please?) | 04:25 |
| _2 | jbmigel oh man 3 xrandr is not bad. | 04:25 |

| Droopsta915 | I uninstalled wine with complete removal, but I still see the wine folder in my applications list? | 04:35 |
| jbmigel | _2 ok im not sure but here's what i think, i think you have installed the ati proprietary driver for your graphics hardware, and it doesnt seem to work right with xrandr. maybe if you turn off that driver youd have better luck? | 04:35 |
| soreau | Droopsta915: So delete it with alacarte (Sys>Prefs>Main Menu) | 04:35 |

| tlchack5 | nvm, i got it to work, thank you | 04:36 |
| soreau | redline565353: I really didn't understand.. you already installed ubuntu and grub wont load what? | 04:36 |
| redline565353 | no the problem is i'm trying to install but cant get it to load from the cd properly | 04:36 |
| _2 | jbmigel nope. i haven't installed proprietary unless it's default in debian lenny | 04:36 |
| soreau | redline565353: Did you perform the 'Check disk for defects' program? | 04:37 |
| redline565353 | it reads my windows cd fine but for some reason not the linux | 04:37 |
| redline565353 | i try to but it just hangs on both copies of the disk | 04:37 |
| soreau | redline565353: It's either a bad disc or a bad drive I'd assume | 04:37 |
| redline565353 | is there any other way i could install i was looking at that wubi thing and wondering if i could do it somehow with that | 04:38 |

| comcastscott | good evening. Anybody else having issues opening the account window in Pidgin? I've googled pidgin issues with 8.1 and haven't found it listed. | 05:15 |
| usser | redline565353, install normally | 05:15 |
| redline565353 | cant | 05:15 |
| sara_ | Commuter Plane Crashes in Buffalo | 05:16 |
| redline565353 | no cd drive | 05:16 |
| _2 | trygg filename.extention means nothing in linux | 05:16 |
| usser | redline565353, in that case no, wubi relies on windows, you can boot ubuntu from a usb stick | 05:16 |
| baz | Charevian, oh yeah! grep yet again! Is there anything it can't do? Probably the second most useful command after......................................ssh of course.... | 05:16 |
| trygg | ah, got it. | 05:16 |
| _2 | baz it doesn't cook | 05:17 |
| usser | baz, oh, careful there, second most useful command is find :) | 05:17 |

| Charevian | baz indeed, its usefull for everything :p | 05:17 |
| _2 | baz another you will like is less | 05:17 |
| Charevian | usser: no thats the third ... first comes ssh then grep and then find | 05:18 |

| _2 | spasticteapot honestly, i don't know. i have only help with that one time. | 05:21 |
| usser | trygg, can you elaborate, what opens and what doesnt work? what are you trying to do? | 05:21 |
| RussM | spaceBARbarian, That I can't answer, since I haven't tried VBox yet. | 05:21 |
| Charevian | probably we can make an U-Box x64 / x32 ... | 05:21 |

| Charevian | but no hair on my head is thinking about getting microsoft hard/software... | 05:22 |
| spasticteapot | LionAthlete74: The only thing we do with Xboxes here is try to make clusters out of them. | 05:22 |
| RussM | So, what's "ls -l cse473-ipc" show/ | 05:22 |
| Charevian | just deleted it from my laptop | 05:22 |
| spasticteapot | Hooray for microsoft-subsidized hardware! | 05:22 |
| LionAthlete74 | define clusters | 05:22 |

| Charevian | Miesco: i dont know | 05:22 |
| usser | trygg, and how do you run it? right clicking on the file? there's a way to add context right-click menus in nautilus | 05:22 |
| Miesco | 9.4? | 05:22 |

| RussM | spaceBARbarian, Well, then just try "chmod +x cse473-ipc" | 05:23 |
| trygg | usser: yeah thats what im trying to do, just not sure how to tell nautilus to input whatever .rar with filename, | 05:23 |
| baz | hehe, i like how no one disputes SSH is the best command and its only a matter of whats second... | 05:23 |
| Charevian | whahaha... | 05:23 |
| trygg | usser: i put in *.rar now, but i guess thats not right | 05:23 |
| _2 | Charevian hate is such a strong word, i don't hate M$, i wouldn't use it if i had to throw all my computers away or use it. but i don't hate it. it has it's place. i'm just not alowed to mention where that place is in a familey freindly channel | 05:23 |
| spasticteapot | If you want to model, say, what would happen if we dropped a nuke on Steve Ballmer's house, you'd need a cluster. A big one. | 05:23 |
| Scunizi | spasticteapot: like irc :) | 05:23 |
| Charevian | i liked to see him quit from irc... :) | 05:23 |
| RussM | spaceBARbarian, Thought I'm not sure why gcc would create it w/o the execute bit on it. | 05:23 |
| usser | trygg, try putting $1 instead | 05:23 |
| trygg | alright | 05:23 |
| spaceBARbarian | RussM: i did that, it doesnt change anything | 05:24 |
| spasticteapot | Scunizi: IIRC, internet relay chat servers aren't really a cluster - they work far more independently. | 05:24 |
| RussM | spaceBARbarian, Try this... copy it to /tmp, then chmod +x it there. | 05:24 |
| Charevian | _2: ok, ok, you don't mean it bad :p | 05:24 |
| _2 | :) | 05:24 |
| Charevian | _2: i just don't like windows or M$ ;) | 05:24 |
| trygg | usser: wonderful, thats what i was looking for. what do you call it anyway, wildcard? | 05:24 |
| RussM | spaceBARbarian, I'm going to take a guess that for some reason, you're on a filesystem mounted with a mask that precludes execute... | 05:25 |
| Charevian | its everything but not stable ;) | 05:25 |
| spaceBARbarian | RussM: nice work lol, i totally forgot that i was working out of my Share folder in Vbox | 05:26 |
| spaceBARbarian | haha what a dumb move | 05:26 |
| _2 | trygg there are two basic wildcards in the linux shell ? and * ? will match any single chat and * matches everything | 05:26 |
| spaceBARbarian | thanks for the help | 05:26 |
| RussM | spaceBARbarian, np | 05:26 |
| _2 | s=chat=char= | 05:26 |
| usser | trygg, thats an environment variable, anything that starts with $ is a variable for bash, $1, $2 etc are arguments to the script, ie scriptname hello world, inside the script $1 would expand as hello and $2 would be world | 05:26 |
| Charevian | hmm _2, be right back, have to restart, just installed ubuntu in time i chatted here :p | 05:26 |

| bernz | JamesG, yep, i just can't think of the package name off-hand (it's probably not simply 'x') | 05:52 |
| JamesG | I did manage to do some googling via links (happy happy joy joy), and it appears to suggest the ubuntu-desktop package | 05:52 |
| JamesG | usser: It was installed as a server, I'm converting it to a desktop | 05:52 |

| ubottu | GBGames: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 06:00 |
| GBGames | Scunizi: Those upgrade notes aren't helpful for 7.04->7.10 | 06:01 |
| _2 | Scunizi won't work for him. he'll have to edit his sources.list | 06:01 |
| bernz | Guest56595, okay, what did you mean by 'locked'? | 06:01 |
| RussM | Guest56595, Does the filename end with ".tar.gz"? | 06:01 |
| garbo | hello, i have tried to install 8.10 with 7gb for the root partition and 3 gbs for the home partition and 1 gb for the swap during half way of the installation i get a hdd error, Is it because i need more space for the root partition? | 06:01 |
| alap | Titan8990, its drivrr code for pl2303 serial cable | 06:01 |
| Scunizi | GBGames: separate your home to it's own partition and install the remainder of the system fresh.. | 06:01 |
| _2 | garbo absolutely not. | 06:02 |
| smokinjoe | !samba | 06:02 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 06:02 |
| fiasco|home | hey whats a driver I can install so my vista box can read my ext3 partition external hard drive | 06:02 |
| _2 | garbo rootfs need only have enough room for the system and the primary packages. thus 5g is more than enough | 06:03 |
| Titan8990 | alap, yeah, but if you are trying to modify code and get it to work, you most likely want to be talking to other programmers | 06:03 |
| garbo | _2; than why do i only get that error with ubuntu? i tried 8.10 and 8.4 same thing but when i tried pclinuxos it instead fine with the same space | 06:03 |
| Guest56595 | RussM i messaged u | 06:03 |
| smokinjoe | Trying to map a network drive anyone? | 06:03 |
| Titan8990 | !ask | smokinjoe | 06:04 |
| ubottu | smokinjoe: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 06:04 |
| fiasco|home | smokinjoe: yes but samba is slower | 06:04 |
| _2 | garbo dont know why you get a disk error. probably the install disk and not the target. maybe not enough ram ? but the target spaces well exceeds the needed. | 06:04 |
| bernz | smokinjoe, since you have only two options, you might as well try each in turn | 06:04 |
| Guest56595 | SmokenJoe me2! if u find nething out u should message it to me | 06:04 |
| smokinjoe | What should I use?? | 06:04 |
| quibbler | fiasco|home: look here: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 06:04 |
| bernz | smokinjoe, but you can be certain by understanding a little more | 06:04 |
| garbo | _2: i have 1gb of ram and the 8.10 disk is new its from shipit | 06:04 |
| badfish69 | how can i create a dvd disc out of mpeg files? | 06:05 |
| Titan8990 | smokinjoe, ftp :) | 06:05 |
| garbo | _2: every other distro works fine its just ubuntu weird @_@ | 06:05 |
| smokinjoe | I want to map a network drive on my vista laptop | 06:05 |
| _2 | garbo i installed ubuntu 6.6 on a p1 with 128m ram and 2g hdd so it's not the space. | 06:05 |
| bernz | smokinjoe, i think you'll want to use your samba password, because i think what you're trying to do is get samba to pretend to be windows-friendly, so it needs an authorization (windows networking)... i could be wrong, but you'll never know unless you read about it at the samba homesite... :-D | 06:05 |
| Guest56595 | RUSSM ru there? | 06:05 |
| Titan8990 | smokinjoe, webDAV, if you want it to be fast | 06:05 |
| smokinjoe | I tried connecting to ubuntu-desktop | 06:05 |
| mib_hjbqwz | can someone open the package manager and see it they can search for something called kvm. I found it when i was on the live cd but now i installed ubuntu and cant find it so i would like someone else to try | 06:06 |
| usser | badfish69, try devede | 06:06 |
| oss | What command actually opens up the Network Connections window in ubuntu? | 06:06 |
| alap | Titan8990, yes you are right but i am asking about error message at the time of modprobe because if there is any problem in program den it will not work but it will get installed atleast | 06:06 |
| _2 | garbo if ubuntu ever requires 7g of rootfs just to install. i'll stop supporting it. | 06:06 |
| badfish69 | i fotgot all about devede | 06:06 |
| badfish69 | thanks | 06:06 |
| garbo | _2: so space is not a problem than what coud it be,,,,,,, it actually installed inside windows but with live installer it did not | 06:06 |
| _2 | garbo idk. have you tried the "alternate install" iso ? | 06:07 |
| joshjtl | is VLC qt, or gtk? | 06:07 |
| Titan8990 | alap, did you build that against your current running kernel source code? | 06:07 |
| joshjtl | i was about to install it, and it wanted to install a bunch of qt libs... i was surprised | 06:07 |
| oss | < | 06:07 |
| garbo | _2: that's a problem i don't have any spare cds :-( i am only using the ones i got from the mail | 06:07 |
| quibbler | mib_hjbqwz: i have kvm in synaptic | 06:08 |
| usser | joshjtl, they switched from wxwidgets to qt in 0.9 | 06:08 |
| joshjtl | oh lame | 06:08 |
| mib_hjbqwz | what would be causing it to nt show up on mine? | 06:08 |
| bernz | smokinjoe, you mean you want a linux drive to appear on your vista machine as a drive letter? | 06:08 |
| Titan8990 | alap, no idea on the last two errors but if I had to guess I would say that the first error was due the module not being compiled with the kernel source... | 06:09 |
| Titan8990 | alap, other than that wild guess, I don't think I will be of much help | 06:09 |
| alap | Titan8990, yes its giving warning messages at registration of driver but kernel is building module without any error | 06:09 |
| mib_hjbqwz | and how do i check what my kernal version is | 06:09 |
| Anacranom | alap, Titan8990 , 2.6.24~ looks like older kernel, what you trying to compile to? | 06:09 |
| garbo | _2: is installing inside windows and live installer the same things? performance wise? | 06:09 |
| Titan8990 | Anacranom, not that old, 2.6.29-r3 is the latest stable.... | 06:10 |
| atom^x | mib_hjbqwz, uname -a | 06:10 |
| quibbler | mib_hjbqwz: to check your kernal: uname -a | 06:10 |
| redline565353 | i'm going to give up i think i never had any problems installing all diff versions apart from a few drivers but now cant even get up and running :( | 06:10 |
| _2 | joshjtl the version of vlc in dapper isn't dependant on either qt or gtk | 06:11 |
| Titan8990 | redline565353, i blame wubi | 06:11 |
| garbo | do you get the same performance if you install via wubi? | 06:11 |
| redline565353 | i dont know what to do then cos my cd drive dont work and i cant boot from usb :/ | 06:11 |
| _2 | garbo no. you will take a performance hit when you install within wubi | 06:11 |
| garbo | _2: ok thanks | 06:12 |
| alap | Anacranom, trying to compile a driver | 06:12 |
| quibbler | garbo: no | 06:12 |
| mib_hjbqwz | is this the newest one Linux Ubuntu 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:42:44 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux? | 06:12 |
| Titan8990 | redline565353, virtualbox | 06:12 |
| Anacranom | Titan8990, yes, but big difference when 8.04 uses .24 and 8.10 uses .27, and lots of things broke in 8.10 | 06:12 |
| usser | mib_hjbqwz, im on 2.6.27-11 here | 06:12 |
| BIAF | Hi, anyone know the best ubuntu channel to get help in relation to ISPConfig / Ubuntu | 06:13 |
| atom^x | mib_hjbqwz, dont think so | 06:13 |
| redline565353 | but wont that have about the same performance as windows? | 06:13 |
| _2 | usser 2.6.15-53-686 here :))) | 06:13 |
| Titan8990 | redline565353, lol yes, but not if you run something like fluxbox | 06:13 |
| BIAF | @ me usser? | 06:13 |
| mib_hjbqwz | o, i had ubuntu installed earlier and it updated the kernal and then i reinstalled it | 06:13 |
| mib_hjbqwz | how do i update the ernal? | 06:13 |
| mib_hjbqwz | kernal* | 06:14 |
| Titan8990 | mib_hjbqwz, update manager | 06:14 |
| mib_hjbqwz | Titan8990: thanks | 06:14 |
| Titan8990 | mib_hjbqwz, np | 06:14 |
| garbo | Anacranom: what broke in 8.10 | 06:15 |
| bernz | smokinjoe, perhaps the best thing to do is read about smb.conf | 06:16 |
| mib_hjbqwz | could an older kernal be causing kvm not be listed in the package manager? | 06:16 |
| _2 | mib_hjbqwz or apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:16 |
| Anacranom | garbo, lots | 06:16 |
| usser | mib_hjbqwz, most likely you dont have some repositories enabled, multiverse, universe? | 06:16 |
| bernz | smokinjoe, or maybe read about SWAT (samba web administration tool) | 06:17 |
| _2 | mib_hjbqwz that will update the kernel if there is a newer version in the same release | 06:17 |
| redline565353 | would you know why my cd drive boots from my "backup xp cd" and wont read linux ones properly? | 06:17 |
| IX26 | exit | 06:17 |
| _2 | redline565353 not burned correctly ? | 06:18 |
| mib_hjbqwz | _2: i am just using the update manager and doing them all | 06:18 |
| redline565353 | they burned the same way same prog they work on this comp but only xp cd does on other | 06:18 |
| _2 | redline565353 or the xp cd may just bounce to the hidden partition and the boot actually happen there | 06:18 |
| _2 | mib_hjbqwz k | 06:18 |
| djhash | redline565353: old computer? | 06:19 |
| redline565353 | it's an advent 6418 about 4 years old | 06:19 |
| mib_hjbqwz | usser: all them are checked, just not source code | 06:19 |
| quibbler | mib_hjbqwz: use synaptic | 06:19 |
| papna | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases claims that Jaunty will have Pidgin 2.6, which is bogus (that may or may not exist by April, if nothing else). Is there someone who knows what software Jaunty will include who can correct the list in the article? | 06:19 |
| Anacranom | garbo, i have 8 boxes, varying hardware, things that just worked OOTB in 8.04, dont in 8.10, granted (most) its fixed since its release, but not good from start | 06:19 |
| Titan8990 | !jaunty | papna | 06:20 |
| ubottu | papna: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 06:20 |
| mib_hjbqwz | oh, on the third party tab those arent checked | 06:20 |
| Titan8990 | papna, you can download the daily snapshot if you want | 06:20 |
| redline565353 | is 8.04 better? | 06:20 |
| Titan8990 | redline565353, it is the lts release | 06:20 |
| Titan8990 | !lts | redline565353 | 06:20 |
| ubottu | redline565353: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 06:20 |
| papna | Titan8990, I am not interested in the information, I am interested in the wikipedia article being correct but without doing any real research myself. | 06:20 |
| _2 | Anacranom 8.4 should be getting pretty stable by now too | 06:20 |
| redline565353 | hmmmmm | 06:20 |
| Titan8990 | papna, lol | 06:21 |
| redline565353 | cos i've tried with my 7.04 and 7.10 and 8.10 with no joy so far | 06:21 |
| Titan8990 | papna, i think pidgin has their own repositories | 06:21 |
| Anacranom | redline565353, .04 is supported longer, 9.04 will be released in a few months, | 06:22 |
| papna | Titan8990, Pidgin doesn't have their own repositories in any meaningful way (they have a public Hg and releases on their website), but no matter what they're not up to 2.6 anywhere, and even if they were, Jaunty probably won't have it. | 06:22 |
| _2 | redline565353 sounds like you have some phenikey hardware | 06:22 |
| Anacranom | redline565353, tried what? | 06:22 |
| atom^x | papna, I am interested in a paycheck, but not the work! | 06:22 |
| _2 | atom^x you too ? | 06:23 |
| redline565353 | the thing is i can and have installed many versions of windows legal and not but i want linux :( | 06:23 |
| papna | Titan8990, The oddest thing is that the one reference was to the history of the Pidgin package. This was my third time seeing if anyone else wanted to fix it. I'll just delete that part of the article if no one wants to. | 06:23 |
| Titan8990 | papna, so you already knew the answer? | 06:23 |
| atom^x | _2, you bet | 06:23 |
| jeeves_Moss | has anyone ever gone through the full install of 8.1 server on a proliant 5500 and then on reboot, it says "error loading OS" | 06:24 |
| papna | Titan8990, I don't know what the Pidgin version will be (just that the article is incorrect), I don't no how to read the cited source, and I don't trust any of the other information. | 06:24 |
| Titan8990 | jeeves_Moss, that occur before grub screen? | 06:24 |
| Anacranom | redline565353, ok, i'm lost as to what you want.. but i am a recent total windows convert | 06:25 |
| jeeves_Moss | I don't even get a grub | 06:25 |
| Titan8990 | !grub | jeeves_Moss | 06:25 |
| ubottu | jeeves_Moss: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 06:25 |
| Titan8990 | jeeves_Moss, need to make sure its installed | 06:25 |
| _2 | jeeves_Moss there is no 8.1 8.18 you mean ? | 06:25 |
| Titan8990 | jeeves_Moss, are you using RAID? | 06:25 |
| jeeves_Moss | Titan8990, yes, it's a RAID box | 06:26 |
| Droopsta915 | can I burn an ubuntu .iso image on a dvd? If so, can I burn multiple .iso images on dvd, and are they bootable? | 06:26 |
| redline565353 | anacranom im trying to get linux on my laptop scos im fed up with windows | 06:26 |
| _2 | !version | jeeves_Moss not like it matters | 06:26 |
| ubottu | jeeves_Moss not like it matters: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 06:26 |
| Anacranom | redline565353, and what is stopping you? | 06:26 |
| Titan8990 | jeeves_Moss, use the restore grub link and see if you can get grub | 06:26 |
| redline565353 | cant install | 06:27 |
| _2 | !release | jeeves_Moss not like it matters (sorry) | 06:27 |
| ubottu | jeeves_Moss not like it matters (sorry): 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 | 06:27 |
| _2 | first one was an ooops | 06:27 |
| Droopsta915 | redline565353:Did you download the Ubuntu .iso? | 06:28 |
| redline565353 | yea | 06:28 |
| kv0nza | hey i was trying to install ubuntu (as well as alot of other distros) and none of them seem to install, they get stuck on the "Loading" section of the install and because it is for all the distros i have tried i am going to take a guess that it could be a driver problem | 06:28 |
| _2 | Droopsta915 you can burn one iso to dvd and it will be bootable you can copy several iso images to a dvd and they will not be bootable but will be accessable as iso files | 06:29 |
| kv0nza | is there any way to check if my hardware is compatible? | 06:29 |
| _2 | kv0nza some hardware specs ? | 06:30 |
| _2 | !hardware | kv0nza | 06:30 |
| ubottu | kv0nza: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 06:30 |
| Droopsta915 | _2: sounds like I will be booting from dvd, thanks. | 06:31 |
| kv0nza | here is my specs | 06:32 |
| kv0nza | http://www.d-a-l.com/hardware-scanner/app/results.php?id=d2778c24040d5e35ae595441f98b2280 | 06:32 |

| casdf | hi, im having trouble connecting to a WPA2 PEAP network using network-manager | 06:33 |
| Droopsta915 | redline565353:Why can't you install? | 06:33 |
| asc | Is there a reason 8.10 was shipped with networking that doesn't work? | 06:33 |
| usser | asc, what do you mean? | 06:33 |
| Droopsta915 | asc: I don't like 8.10, I went back to 8.04 myself. | 06:33 |
| casdf | well, drats. im on 8.10 btw | 06:34 |
| asc | usser: After restarting, networking is down. This is kind of unfunny when you're trying to do networking things on a tty. | 06:34 |
| kv0nza | can u see anything there that might be problemmatic | 06:34 |
| asc | Droopsta915: Unfortunately, they somehow managed to break ion3 on 8.04 so it doesn't work at all :p | 06:35 |
| _2 | * Total Current Physical Memory: 4.00 GB | 06:35 |
| _2 | * Maximum Memory Capacity: 2.00 GB | 06:35 |

| ice_cream | shot down | 06:35 |
| kv0nza | lol i am running x64 | 06:35 |
| kv0nza | stupid scanner >_> | 06:35 |
| Droopsta915 | asc: ;) | 06:35 |
| asc | Well, that and wine constantly segfaulted under 64-bit. I'm hoping that it works on 8.10_x64 or I'm going to get really tetchy. | 06:36 |
| asc | *with a particular program | 06:36 |
| kv0nza | i can't boot a live cd or a widows install using wubi either | 06:36 |
| casdf | anyone have help for WPA2 on 8.10? | 06:37 |
| Droopsta915 | kv0nza: did you change the boot sequence? | 06:37 |
| kv0nza | i have no idea what that means lol, i am a "noob" at linux and am trying to reinstall as i had it on my old machine | 06:38 |
| kv0nza | i am running it straight off the cd using the install option | 06:38 |
| kv0nza | then it just gets stuck and i have to do a hard restart | 06:38 |
| Droopsta915 | kv0nza: When your system is starting up, look for the setup menu, it's quick. On my laptop I hit F12 at the first screen. That takes me to the boot menu. | 06:41 |
| Tyrath | could anyone help me diagnose my wireless problem? | 06:41 |
| MiladKhajavi | how can I get the amount size of a directory with command line? | 06:41 |
| asc | MiladKhajavi: du -hs directory-name | 06:41 |
| kv0nza | oh u mean like what device it read from first | 06:41 |
| kv0nza | is* | 06:41 |
| kv0nza | yea the cd is loading | 06:41 |
| Droopsta915 | kv0nza:You can change the boot sequence, and make the Ubuntu cd boot from disk at start up. | 06:42 |
| alap | Titan8990,then please tell me where should i ask for this problem | 06:42 |
| MiladKhajavi | asc: thanks | 06:42 |
| kv0nza | but i can;t do into live desktop view or install | 06:42 |
| kv0nza | it just gets stuck | 06:42 |
| anom01y | anyone know how to detect usb devices in xfce ? I can't even locate a usb memory stick in /dev.. | 06:42 |
| bernz | anom01y, fwiw, i'm having a USB issue in which devices aren't detected, but it seems to be because my mobo-integrated hosts controllers aren't being initialized (don't yet know why) | 06:44 |
| Droopsta915 | !mount | 06:44 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 06:44 |
| bernz | anom01y, you might want to at least 'lsusb' to see if your hosts are working | 06:44 |
| Droopsta915 | !usb | 06:45 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 06:45 |
| anom01y | bernz, yeah I see it there, but where is it in /dev, and how to I make xfce automatically detect it when it gets plugged in ? | 06:45 |
| quibbler | kv0nza: have you check the integrity of the cd ...one of the options is to check the cd | 06:45 |
| shad_ | ubottu, how to make a memory test in ubuntu | 06:46 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:46 |
| Droopsta915 | !memory test | 06:46 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about memory test | 06:46 |
| bernz | anom01y, generally, it will show up in dev as 'sdx' ('sdx1', 'sdx2', ...) where 'x' is 'a', 'b', 'c', ... depending on how many disks are attached | 06:46 |
| casdf | so if i were to follow the tutorial on here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318539 what would be the next step? once its config'ed, how do i actively connect? | 06:47 |
| anom01y | bernz, yeah sounds good. I found out how to solve my prob. | 06:47 |
| bernz | anom01y, as for auto-mounting, you can specify that in fstab ('man fstab'), but i don't know about getting an icon to appear on the desktop automagically | 06:47 |
| brianski | am i the only person having trouble with my hda intel sound device recently? | 06:47 |
| bernz | anom01y, okay, cool | 06:47 |
| brianski | (on intrepid) | 06:47 |
| shad_ | Droopsta915, to handle something like bad sector, defragmentation etc | 06:47 |
| Droopsta915 | anom01y:my usb shows up in /dev/media | 06:48 |
| bernz | Droopsta915, don't you mean '/media/[name-of-volume]'? | 06:48 |
| Droopsta915 | shad_:thanks | 06:48 |
| Droopsta915 | anom01y:my usb shows up in /dev/media/disk | 06:49 |
| shad_ | ubottu, how to know which distributor is i am using | 06:49 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:49 |
| bernz | Droopsta915, in that case, your udev is ill and needs love :-) | 06:50 |
| Droopsta915 | anom01y:Do you dual boot, with Windows? | 06:50 |
| anom01y | Droopsta915, nope | 06:50 |
| Droopsta915 | bernz:Oh, I luv it all night ;) | 06:50 |
| casdf | is there a way to downgrade from 8.10 to 8.04? | 06:50 |
| casdf | without wiping and reinstalling | 06:51 |
| quibbler | casdf: no | 06:52 |
| Droopsta915 | anom01y:I'm asking because I couldn't get my new flash drive to mount, but I went into my xp box and it automatically detected it. I got back into Ubuntu and there it is, I don't know what happened, but it mounted. | 06:52 |
| mib_pythcb | Memtest86 shows 509mb ram but dosn't show errors when i run it, ubuntu wont boot. do i have a ram prob. i have a 512 stick installed! | 06:52 |
| Droopsta915 | mib_pythcb: have you tried changing the boot sequence? I changed the device to boot from cd and was able to install | 06:53 |
| casdf | so from what im reading, 8.04's network manager worked, and 8.10's is borked... | 06:54 |
| bernz | casdf, that's for wireless, or? (i'm running 8.10 on LAN... LAN never has problems :-) | 06:55 |

| anom01y | anyone know how to access usb devices through xfce ? | 07:00 |
| axscode | hi guys i have a problem.. segment fault on nautilus | 07:00 |
| bernz | Tyrath, i'm not really that familiar with low-level wifi problems, but a lot of times, a misconfiguration results in counter-intuitive errors, and you end up blaming a mistyped network key on something more exotic | 07:00 |
| axscode | is there anyway to know how to isolate the problem? | 07:00 |
| anom01y | there is no links, hints, messages nothing regarding the usb stick I just plugged in to a 100% working usb port and stick. | 07:00 |
| alap | Titan8990, then please tell me where should i ask for this problem | 07:00 |
| bernz | (like "mysterious RF interference" -- although my microwave temporarily blots out my WiFi at home -- kinda creepy) | 07:01 |
| Droopsta915 | I'm a reinstall junky, if I can't fix a problem in 24 hours (me sitting at computer for 24 hours) I reinstall and fix it.;) | 07:01 |
| bernz | Droopsta915, do you ever end up actual configuring a system to your liking? ;-p | 07:01 |
| slowaris | does ubuntu has plugin/extension for grammar checker in openoffice? | 07:01 |
| bernz | actually, even | 07:02 |
| shad_ | Droopsta915, can u tell me how to know that my processor is of 32 or 64 bit | 07:02 |
| RussM | shad cat /proc/cpuinfo | 07:02 |
| Droopsta915 | bernz:Yes, I reinstalled 8.04 and got it to my liking. I don't think I've reinstalled in at least 6 months. Hardy is my heroe! | 07:03 |
| Titan8990 | alap, I am unsure really, sorry I couldn't help more | 07:03 |
| Titan8990 | alap, or at all really.... | 07:03 |
| bernz | Droopsta915, awesome, I'm only having one major issue (USB) with 8.10, but I didn't even try 8.04 (maybe I should just give the live CD a try to see if all my USB hosts work) | 07:03 |
| bernz | anom01y, you can watch the kernel messages to see if it at least detects your stick | 07:04 |
| bestus | CLARA | 07:05 |
| bernz | anom01y, maybe something like 'tail -f /var/log/messages' | 07:05 |
| Droopsta915 | shad_: open a terminal and type sudo lshw, that will give you all your computer specifications, hope it helps. | 07:05 |
| bernz | anom01y, and then plug in your device and watch for "chatter" | 07:05 |

| doubletoker | hey, I been reading the site | 07:06 |
| doubletoker | I can't seem to get my ubuntu to work wireless | 07:06 |
| appledoze | hey! | 07:06 |
| appledoze | hi | 07:06 |
| Droopsta915 | slowaris:It should detect a misspelled word automatically. | 07:07 |
| axscode | help | 07:07 |
| axscode | someone knows how to trace problem when nautilus have a segfault? | 07:07 |
| appledoze | when i get to the boot screen and i choose ubuntu it takes me to the grub4dos screen | 07:07 |
| bernz | if it's reproducible, gdb? | 07:07 |
| doubletoker | it says disabled, I got it to work once, but messed up my install, so I reinstalled the whole system, now it don't work again, not sure if anyone can help, got a laptop, amd64 and lshw says disabled next to it | 07:08 |
| Droopsta915 | doubletoker:go to system>hardware drivers and make sure you have your proprietary drivers working. | 07:08 |
| doubletoker | does anyone know how to make it say 1 or 0 next to it | 07:08 |
| appledoze | this happens when i install it as an application of windows, or through wubi | 07:08 |
| doubletoker | it doesn't show up in the list | 07:08 |
| casdf | bernz: yeah LAN works great, but uh | 07:08 |
| bernz | casdf, you need wireless, right? | 07:08 |
| Tyrath | bernz: is there a way I could update my WAP? | 07:08 |
| casdf | bernz: ive been reading that wifi, esp. wpa2, is a step back | 07:09 |
| slowaris | for now it's on text based after upgrading to 8.10,anyone how can i modify my image background after bios boot time? | 07:09 |
| |Sigma| | anyone interested in giving me a hand? I have a strange problem... wireless card refuses to get an ipv4 address, but it manages to get an ipv6 easily enough | 07:09 |
| doubletoker | Droopsta915: it doesn't show up in that list of the proprietary drivers | 07:09 |
| bernz | Tyrath, i guess i'd check the manufacturer site to see if there's a firmware update or something; often it fixes bugs, especially in encryption and authentication routines | 07:09 |
| Droopsta915 | splash! | 07:09 |
| doubletoker | but it shows the interface | 07:09 |
| Droopsta915 | !splash | 07:10 |
| ubottu | To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 07:10 |
| axscode | how about nautilus | 07:10 |
| bernz | Tyrath, but that's assuming the WAP is the culprit, which is just a guess... i'd reconfigure everything carefully to make sure you aren't missing any settings, or haven't botched any (typos, etc) | 07:10 |
| Droopsta915 | what brand laptop or comp you have? | 07:10 |
| doubletoker | Compaq | 07:11 |
| === jaran is now known as karbo | ||
| bernz | casdf, well, wep is long dead, and wpa is no longer considered secure, but wpa2 is the best thing available *commonly*, so it's worth trying to get it working as opposed to leaving a WAP unsecured | 07:11 |
| doubletoker | laptop | 07:11 |
| slowaris | Droopsta915: is that splash you mean after bios or is that the background image when the login prompts? | 07:12 |
| appledoze | how do i boot ubuntu from the grub4dos screen? | 07:12 |
| bernz | casdf, however, if you're reasonably sure you won't suffer abuse (e.g. unplug WAN cable to WAP if applicable), then disable all security and try to get things working that way first | 07:12 |
| appledoze | always takes me there when i select it in the boot select | 07:12 |
| Droopsta915 | slowaris: Its the screen you get at login, is that what you mean? | 07:13 |
| kindofabuzz | what is the exact meaning of a "%U" after a command? | 07:13 |
| kindofabuzz | as in gedit %U | 07:13 |
| Tyrath | bernz: well if used ifup and ifdown, dhcpclient -r, removing problems out of /etc/network/interfaces. Not sure what else it could be | 07:14 |
| Tyrath | bernz: i've also tried inserting my wireless MAC address into the gnome GUI thing | 07:14 |
| crdlb | kindofabuzz: "A list of URLs." | 07:15 |

| bernz | Tyrath, when i had wifi problems on my kubuntu (this laptop) installation, i ended up having to edit config files manually and so on, and even afterward (when wifi was working), the GUI network manager wasn't "synced" | 07:15 |

| trygg | any good rpg thats not roguelike? :D | 07:15 |

| casdf | bernz: im at a public university trying to connect to their wpa2 peap network, not setting up a home router | 07:18 |
| bernz | casdf, ahh, well it's a lot trickier when you don't control all the machines... i'm sorry, i don't know much about peap (eap) | 07:19 |
| slowaris | Droopsta915: i dont want to modify the screen during login but before login screen just after bios | 07:19 |
| circusbred | bernz: i control EVERY machine | 07:19 |
| * bernz yanks out his LAN cable@!#!@$NO CARRIER | 07:20 | |
| slowaris | i have already modify my login background image but the booting time just after the bios i must modify it | 07:20 |
| Droopsta915 | slowaris:When you start up, pay close attention, you will get a setup option. Like F12 or something, it's quick, but if you hit it fast enough you can get into the setup menu or boot menu | 07:21 |
| bernz | it sounds like slowaris is maybe talking about the 'ubuntu' progress meter (which first ping-pongs, then fills up) screen | 07:21 |
| amarcy2 | anybody good with fn key mapping? | 07:22 |

| CaneToad | kingsley_ you must be clicking the "burn the image directly" button in k3b when you drag instead of "add the file to the project", right? | 07:52 |
| CaneToad | that approach is ok too | 07:52 |
| Droopsta915 | well it's been fun, hope I helped someone today. Have a good night or day whatever ;) | 07:52 |

| redline5653 | yea i been having probs trying to install i found a page about netboot istalling and so far it's working i just need to know if it will get the basic drivers and such for my lappy | 08:07 |
| redline5653 | netboot loads from a cd and downloads the rest of what it needs apparently | 08:08 |
| SunnyDP | you should get yourself netboot, a ISO of ubuntu, and a 2gb usb key | 08:08 |
| SunnyDP | you will then be able to boot from your usb key , either using the live-cd option or install ubuntu on your pc | 08:09 |

| redline5653 | about 4-5 years theres the link to what im doing^^ | 08:11 |

| SunnyDP | well i guess yoiu should install from CD | 08:11 |
| SunnyDP | no choice | 08:11 |
| SunnyDP | right ? | 08:11 |
| anima_ | Sunny, are you talking to me? | 08:11 |
| redline5653 | that page says though that i can just boot from the image and it should download it automatically | 08:12 |
| SunnyDP | anima: no | 08:12 |
| anima_ | OK. | 08:12 |
| SunnyDP | well you know | 08:12 |

| SmokeyD | just a change log | 08:21 |
| SmokeyD | not the actual code that has been changes, just the comments made by the package maintainers | 08:21 |
| diginux | somehow: just dont type the command in a chat window, type in the main window that you saw when you logged on | 08:21 |
| suigeneris | SmokeyD, read CHANGELOG | 08:21 |
| diginux | SmokeyD: pakcages.ubuntu.org hsould have it | 08:21 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | diginux, : THANKS MEN :-) | 08:22 |
| kingsley_ | Is my assumption correct that using 8.04 as a live CD requires the user to configure the network interface with the IP addresses of DNS servers? | 08:22 |
| diginux | SmokeyD: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 08:22 |
| diginux | kingsley_: not if you have dhcp installed | 08:22 |

| \Kira | My server, which is run though a dynamic DNS, sometimes just sits at the command prompt, like when im trying to ssh in. It just does nothing, and eventually breaks the connection, this only happens sometimes, but Im worried about people viewing my website (once I get it online). Any idea how I could fix this? | 08:36 |
| ikonia | \Kira: then you should host it properly | 08:36 |
| ikonia | \Kira: rather than on a home connetion with dynamic dns | 08:36 |
| \Kira | ikonia: this is temporary, until I get some coin :P | 08:36 |
| \Kira | ikonia: its also a method of me experimenting | 08:37 |
| ikonia | \Kira: then live with it until you get some coin | 08:37 |
| \Kira | ikonia: but, im just curious if there is anything I could do about this and whats causing it? | 08:37 |
| ikonia | \Kira: it's probably arpa looks for ssh being slow / timing out due to dynai dns | 08:37 |

| judget_ | I always unmount before removing | 08:44 |

| Mr_Goodkat | that shouldnt make the system lagg | 08:47 |

| ikonia | judget_: did you build and install a new gtk version ? | 09:04 |
| kidspc | i don't have a driver to instal | 09:04 |
| ikonia | bindaas: it's the automounter that's the problem, | 09:04 |

| ikonia | bindaas: he's just proved udev creates a device node | 09:04 |

| dimitrius | after update my sound card not working anyone have same problem? | 09:05 |
| ikonia | judget_: so you have built your own glib version and updated it on your system ? | 09:05 |
| chuxxsss | vegombrei, yes i am sure nidia 177.80 something has change the resolution so i when into pref's and when up to high i think on resolution. | 09:05 |
| judget_ | I believe I may have but im not sure how far i got before i stopped | 09:05 |
| ikonia | judget_: glib/gtk/pango etc are core features on gnome, it's doubtful but possible it could have caused an issue with the desktop interface to dbus | 09:06 |
| bindaas | ikonia: well if automounter is not working ,should not he try mounting manually ? | 09:06 |
| judget_ | I was origonally trying to compile a newer totem and the configure whined about the version of gtk that i had | 09:06 |
| titan_ark | hey :) having trouble with accessing my existing partitions any one can help me out with this? | 09:06 |
| judget_ | right | 09:06 |

| wierdo | alo | 09:07 |
| dimitrius | anyone playing wow with wine? | 09:07 |
| ikonia | bindaas: I'm sure he can mount it, manually he's asking why the automounter interface to gnome is failing | 09:07 |
| wierdo | all | 09:07 |
| ikonia | judget_: that probably wont work depending on how you installed thing | 09:07 |
| mak_ | <wierdo>,,,,,welcome | 09:07 |
| chuxxsss | brb | 09:08 |
| slowaris | anyone what program can i use to play midi file? | 09:08 |
| judget_ | i did the usual configure make sudo make install | 09:08 |
| ikonia | judget_: not good then, | 09:08 |
| judget_ | hmmm | 09:08 |
| ikonia | judget_: depends on your configure options | 09:08 |
| MotuU | well, is no one in here experiencing Firefox to crash when playing youtube or myspace (because of the flash players)? | 09:09 |
| judget_ | yea i learn while i burn | 09:09 |
| bindaas | ikonia: weird but i had this problem some months back when automounter stopped working but it was back to normal when i mounted manually | 09:09 |
| ikonia | MotuU: what version of ubuntu ? people have complained | 09:09 |
| bindaas | normal forever* | 09:09 |
| syockit | slowaris: there are some audio players that come with midi plugins | 09:09 |
| syockit | slowaris: ...including audacious | 09:10 |
| ikonia | bindaas: do what you feel appropriate then | 09:10 |
| MotuU | ikonia: DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.2" | 09:10 |
| ikonia | MotuU: how did you install flash ? | 09:10 |
| MotuU | and the firefox version that ships with it | 09:10 |
| ikonia | MotuU: how did you install flash ? | 09:10 |
| MotuU | i try to remeber :-) | 09:10 |
| MotuU | flash isn't installed after isntalling ubuntu, right? | 09:11 |
| syockit | slowaris: see this page. I hope it's not confusing http://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2008/01/22/how-to-ubuntu-midi-playback-with-audacious/ | 09:11 |
| MotuU | then i'm sure i followed the dialog in Firefox to isntall the plug-in | 09:11 |
| MotuU | ikonia: Anf Firefox is 3.0.5 | 09:12 |
| MotuU | and | 09:12 |
| ikonia | MotuU: how did you install flash ? | 09:12 |
| dimitrius | does ur fps suck in wow on wine? | 09:13 |

| kalvin_ | hi everyone, im trying to start apache but it says another web server daemon is open, how can i check what it is thats open? | 09:13 |
| ikonia | MotuU: install the package "flashplugin-nonfree" from the repos | 09:14 |
| bindaas | kalvin_ : netstat -nlp | grep 80 | 09:14 |
| MotuU | ikonia: is this howto suitable to do this? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-firefox-crashes-on-flash-contents-when-using-libflashsupport-in-hardy.html | 09:14 |
| MotuU | ikonia: and do i have to uninstall something firstly? | 09:15 |
| kidspc | i have just installed ubuntu and can only run it in graphics safe mode, i have 82845G intel graphics | 09:16 |
| Mr_Goodkat | how is this graphic driver configure tool called? the one where you could change the driver from vesa to intel etc, i think since intrepid it disappeared | 09:16 |
| kidspc | do i need a driver? | 09:16 |
| eitreach | I have trouble using USB in Virtualbox in Intrepid. I have followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#USB but I am not sure I have done everything correctly. Could someone take me through ie, step by step? | 09:16 |
| c0p3rn1c | !printer | 09:16 |
| ubottu | 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 | 09:16 |
| vegombrei | what is a python object ?? | 09:17 |
| bindaas | instance of class ? | 09:18 |
| c0p3rn1c | I have a problem with my network printer, it used to show up directly when I try to add a printer on another linux box, but not anymore | 09:18 |
| c0p3rn1c | shared printer on a ubuntu box* | 09:19 |
| mak_ | how well i can code for python to create an web page and a code to create download icon in the web page ? | 09:19 |
| kalvin_ | its telling me apache2 is listening but everytime i try to kill it, it comes back | 09:19 |
| arquebus | vegombrei: do you know what object oriented programming is? | 09:19 |
| Mr_Goodkat | hmm so my problem is that the intel gma500 is not supported by ubuntu and vesa is really slow, smb any suggestions | 09:20 |
| syockit | kalvin_: try to stop apache from init.d first and kill the remaining daemon | 09:20 |
| kalvin_ | how do i do that? | 09:20 |
| syockit | kalvin_: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 stop | 09:20 |
| mak_ | <bindaas>,,,are you well with python | 09:20 |
| syockit | kalvin_: and then use ps aux | grep apache to see if any apaches remaining | 09:20 |
| reasonpun | use ps aux | grep httpd to see if any apaches remaining,instead | 09:21 |
| vegombrei | arquebus: not really .. | 09:21 |
| kalvin_ | ok it worked thanks...what is this invoke-rc.d | 09:21 |
| bindaas | mak_:well i am a java dev and i dont have any experience with python but oop concepts are same | 09:21 |
| chris8 | hey room... have a PC and a 2 laptops... wha's best Ubuntu feature for file sharing? | 09:22 |
| syockit | kalvin_: it calls the script that is in /etc/init.d/ | 09:22 |
| chris8 | don't nec'raly need access to programs etc, just files... | 09:22 |
| judget_ | so it looks like my automount is not working does anyone have any suggestions | 09:22 |
| kidspc | arquebus: object oriented programming is a program philosophy based on the functions of objects rather than on a system of commands and decisions | 09:22 |
| judget_ | If i plug in the drive to usb it is there showing in gparted | 09:23 |
| kalvin_ | syockit: thanks a lot | 09:23 |
| bindaas | judget_: did u try mounting manually? | 09:23 |
| Mr_Goodkat | is there anyway to use windows driver for the intel card on ubuntu? | 09:23 |
| judget_ | i forgot the mount command | 09:23 |
| judget_ | for ntfs | 09:23 |
| arquebus | vegombrei: kidspc just gave the definition | 09:23 |
| Crescent_4rZ | ;jlsd | 09:24 |
| syockit | kalvin_: normally you see commands that tell you to sudo /etc/init.d/<something> start|stop|restart, but you can use sudo invoke-rc.d instead | 09:24 |
| Crescent_4rZ | hai.. ol | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip2 | yo yo yo | 09:24 |
| syockit | Mr_Goodkat: wait, GM500? let me check | 09:24 |
| Mr_Goodkat | kk, thx | 09:24 |
| chris8 | anyone? please help... best file-sharing option for Ubuntu v.8.1 | 09:24 |
| bindaas | judget_: you usb is not FAT 16 or 32? | 09:24 |
| bmunat | Hi. I've started having problems with not being able to cp, mv or rm certain files and lots of dirs say their readonly when I try to create a file but doing an ls shows rwx for root (and I'm root)... anyone have any ideas? The machine hasn't been rebooted for a week or two and has been fine until tonight. | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip2 | chris8: there is no BEST | 09:25 |
| judget_ | this drive is ntfs | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip2 | chris8: you can use samba or cifs | 09:25 |
| chris8 | i didn't even see those as options in the help... | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip2 | chris8: those are the 2 I am aware of | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip2 | !samba | chris8 | 09:25 |
| ubottu | chris8: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 09:25 |
| chris8 | :S as windows network, Nautilus, and creating Sharing Folders... | 09:26 |
| syockit | Mr_Goodkat: and no, you can't use windows drivers on linux | 09:26 |
| bindaas | sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/device_like_sdb1 /media/mydisk | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip2 | chris8: thats samba | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip2 | chris8: if you havent already: sudo apt-get install samba | 09:26 |
| judget_ | brb I gonna try a reboot just for giggles | 09:26 |
| chris8 | the sharing folders option? i get <not allowed on backend> | 09:26 |
| Mr_Goodkat | would be nice if there would be smth like ndiswrapper for graphic driver | 09:27 |
| chris8 | TY ActionParsnip--ur ma favorite vegetable in the garden1!! | 09:27 |
| MotuU | ikonia: can i use the howto that i linked you to solve the problem? | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip2 | chris8: ive not used it that way. I always edit smb.conf which is childishly simple, remember to run: sudo smbpasswd <your username> and set the same password for your samba as your login (makes life easier) | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip2 | oh well | 09:28 |
| * ActionParsnip2 was gonna offer his smb.conf | 09:28 | |

| ikonia | MotuU: when did you first install that package | 09:31 |
| bastid_raZor | vegombrei; add them in the order you want?. | 09:31 |

| MotuU | ikonia: i didn't. i installed ubuntu server version, apt-getr ubuntu-desktop. that's it | 09:31 |
| ikonia | MotuU: why did you install the server version ? | 09:32 |
| vegombrei | bastid_raZor: bastid ! | 09:32 |
| MotuU | ikonia: to upload a smaller iso to my vmware server which is connected on the internet | 09:32 |
| ikonia | MotuU: why not use the desktop version ? | 09:33 |
| ikonia | MotuU: your using it for more than that as your trying to view youtuve and myspace on it | 09:33 |
| nargzul | Hi! I've a little simple question about crontab: If the computer is not on at the hour specified, when the computer restart, the task is executed or not? | 09:33 |
| ikonia | nargzul: it's ignored | 09:33 |
| MotuU | ikonia: no, just to have a remote access surf station | 09:33 |
| MotuU | ikonia: but the flash problem does not come from the server package, does it? | 09:34 |
| ikonia | MotuU: so why did you install the server version | 09:34 |
| nargzul | ikonia: okay thanks, and there is a way to do it? It's for a backup script for my laptop, and he isn't really ON at same hour | 09:34 |
| ikonia | MotuU: no - but the desktop version is a.) setup for home hardware b.) intergrated desktop out of the box | 09:34 |

| LiquidAir | Does Ubuntu have a similar battery consumption rate as vista? | 09:36 |
| LiquidAir | (or better) | 09:36 |
| ikonia | MotuU: I don't know without more research | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip2 | LiquidAir: I'd say identical as long as you get ACPI running successfully | 09:36 |
| MotuU | ikonia: ok maybre it's a good ide to open a threat in forums so that more people will read it? | 09:37 |
| MotuU | ikonia: btw you dont have those problems? | 09:37 |
| marco__ | How can I download? sorry | 09:37 |
| ikonia | MotuU: not without more research, firefox/flash can crash for many reasons | 09:37 |
| LiquidAir | ActionParsnip2, k, I assume it would be a lot less than osx though (on macbook's) I don't know how they get their battery life so high | 09:37 |
| MotuU | ikonia: ok. thanks for now | 09:37 |

| Sarge_TJ | Hi guys! I'm lacking a good media center on ubuntu, so I'm considering installing mythbuntu side by side to my ubuntu system.

| ActionParsnip2 | shockwave: using what app? | 10:37 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | geirha, I added all the character coding that appear in gedit...none can open the file | 10:37 |
| shockwave | i need to edit this | 10:37 |

| ActionParsnip2 | shavin: depends where its stored, to get write access you will need to install ntfs-3g | 10:39 |
| chuxxsss | ActionParsnip2 the screen in Gnome is black I can't see anything | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip2 | chuxxsss: hit ctrl+alt+backspace, change session type to console and log on there | 10:39 |
| shavin | so i install ntfs-3g package and then run it on C drive probably? | 10:40 |
| Sarge_TJ | Will installing the mythbuntu-desktop package enable me to choose between the basic ubuntu (gnome) desktop and the mythbuntu desktop at the login screen? | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip2 | chuxxsss: or reboot and hit esc to bring up grub menu and boot to recovery mode, you can select fix x from the menu that appears | 10:40 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | geirha, ...yes...I can read it | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Sarge_TJ: I believe so, it may just install the apps you dont have from the mythbuntu meta package | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip2 | shavin: ntfs-3g is a best effort to give linux users write access to ntfs (as ntfs is proprietary from Microsoft) | 10:41 |

| ActionParsnip2 | zone000: you will need to edit your mandriva boot loader (grub / lilo) to boot the iso (it can do this) | 10:43 |

| wallunit | How can I encrypt multiple partitions in a way tht i don't have enter a passphrase for each of them on boot? | 10:48 |
| shavin | It was coming in details when i was unsuccesfully trying to mount the volume earlier. It was related to "unclean shutdown" or similar words | 10:49 |

| Qixotic | root/dir_name/filename2 | 11:00 |
| Qixotic | etc | 11:00 |
| ziroday | Qixotic: cd into /root and then do ls -l | grep dir_name ? | 11:01 |
| ziroday | Qixotic: err do ls -lr maybe | 11:01 |
| sushanthreddy | i have installed phpmyadmin ,but not opening it is saying forbidden | 11:01 |
| Qixotic | no, that's not what I'm looking for | 11:01 |
| ziroday | Qixotic: actually its ls -lR | 11:01 |
| sushanthreddy | when browser the folder sahre | 11:01 |
| sushanthreddy | it is there | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ziroday: mv ~/.xbmc/skin !/.xbmc/skin_old; ln -s ~/code/xbmcskins ~/.xbmc/skin | 11:01 |
| Qixotic | basically i want the full path name in front of each file | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ziroday: replace ! with ~ | 11:02 |
| ziroday | ActionParsnip2: right, thanks! | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ziroday: the first part renames the original folder out of the way, the second part creates the link | 11:02 |
| ziroday | Qixotic: that will do it, as you're ls -R-ing from root but grepping only for the results you want | 11:02 |
| syockit | ziroday, Qixotic: why not use find? | 11:03 |
| Qixotic | no, that just prints out outpur in the format | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ziroday: any good? | 11:04 |
| Qixotic | drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-02-05 20:29 Desktop | 11:04 |
| Qixotic | what I want is | 11:04 |
| ziroday | ActionParsnip2: seems so, just about to test it | 11:04 |
| sushanthreddy | how iptray works | 11:04 |
| Qixotic | full/path/name/filename | 11:04 |
| Qixotic | full/path/name/filename2 | 11:04 |
| Qixotic | full/path/name/filename3 | 11:04 |
| FloodBot1 | Qixotic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:04 |
| Qixotic | sorry | 11:04 |
| ziroday | Qixotic: try ls -1R | 11:04 |
| ziroday | Qixotic: instead of ls -lR | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ziroday: if it doesnt work you can rename the old folder back | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ziroday: I ALWAYS have a rollback method :D | 11:06 |
| Qixotic | ziroday: not exactly what i want, but I think it's close enough for me to script the output i want, thanks. | 11:06 |
| elimin8 | Hello i have a few questions about ubuntu 8.10 am i in the right place? | 11:06 |
| ziroday | ActionParsnip2: saw that :) | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip2 | elimin8: indeed, ask away | 11:06 |
| bazhang | elimin8, yep | 11:06 |
| elimin8 | The system i have now is ubuntu 8.10 x86_32 on a amd 64x2 machine | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip2 | elimin8: ok good so far | 11:07 |
| elimin8 | it seems to be the version that operates best with my processor, but i was wondering if theres a way to minimize whats using my ram | 11:07 |
| syockit | Qixotic: or you can use find <path>, but it is slow | 11:07 |
| elimin8 | so that i can use it for grapical processes and gui | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip2 | elimin8: run ps -ef | less | 11:08 |
| elimin8 | i have 5.4gb swap and a usb (readyboost like) | 11:08 |
| elimin8 | erm whats the less? | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip2 | elimin8: that is what is running in your ram right now, if yu can minimise those youo will use less ram | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip2 | elimin8: try it without | 11:09 |
| ikonia | elimin8: the kernel will manage your ram really well | 11:09 |
| elimin8 | post whats running here? | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip2 | elimin8: it only lists processes so won't harm anything | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip2 | elimin8: no just read it, and research what each is so you can sto pit running in future if its unnecessary | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip2 | elimin8: DO NOT paste it all in here | 11:09 |
| elimin8 | Ah i understand thank you | 11:10 |

| elimin8 | also one other question, by defualt ubuntu set aside 5.4gb of swap space on my system, in the debian channel they told me i needed 3gb max | 11:12 |
| elimin8 | is that something specific to ubuntu? | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | elimin8: how much ram do you have? | 11:13 |
| elimin8 | 2gb of physical ram | 11:13 |
| elimin8 | no dedicated video card | 11:13 |
| ikonia | alexises: you need the same ammount as your ram if you wish to use hibernation, I'd always suggest ram+a bit extra to be able to swap out your ram totally and a bufer, | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | then 4Gb is usual, 2 x RAM | 11:13 |
| ikonia | alexises: sorry not you | 11:13 |
| ikonia | elimin8: that was for you | 11:13 |
| ikonia | elimin8: swap space is personal preference | 11:13 |
| * ActionParsnip1 thinks ubuntus "default" partitioning is obscene | 11:14 | |
| elimin8 | would lower swap space speed up the system? | 11:14 |
| elimin8 | i have made a few tweaks like turning off system time stamps and such | 11:15 |
| elimin8 | to help increase the speed, but honestly i dont see any | 11:15 |
| elimin8 | i also used the "ready boost" concept of using usb for swap space and did notice a small performance difficene with grapical apps | 11:16 |
| elimin8 | but then i was told that the hd is faster than usb | 11:16 |
| elimin8 | so now im confused and back to square one | 11:16 |
| syockit | don't know if I've seen worse.... | 11:18 |

| chris8 | Hey room i have FTP question... Why do i have a Windows Network in my list of networks? and why can't i delete it??? | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | elimin8: im just good friends with ubottu | 11:21 |
| elimin8 | actionpastnip1 im reading that bug you posted, if it improves performance why is it a bug? | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | elimin8: not sure, i didnt log it | 11:22 |
| elimin8 | sorry for terminating your name there. | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | elimin8: use tab to complete names ;) | 11:22 |
| chris8 | What is a Windows Network? why do i have one? :S :S:S | 11:23 |
| trygg | anyone have any clue why avant-window-navigator is so slow when its resizing? | 11:23 |

| chris8 | ty | 11:27 |
| chris8 | my undying love and affection | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris8: windows does that by default, all partitioned are automatically shared | 11:27 |
| elimin8 | only if it works :) | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | elimin8: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart will do that | 11:28 |
| elimin8 | thank you :) | 11:28 |
| elimin8 | One other technical question, I didnt notice Xfce installed in 8.10 by default, is there a reason for that? | 11:30 |
| elimin8 | its a very fast desktop option imho | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | elimin8: if you want you can sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | elimin8: then logout, change session to xfce and log back in | 11:31 |
| elimin8 | Excellent, i owe you :) | 11:31 |

| andylockran` | 11:38 | |
| Bolin | elimin8: what do i change it to since i want swedish layout? "se_SV.ISO-8859-1" ? | 11:38 |
| Bolin | or just en_US.ISO-8859-1 ? | 11:38 |
| moniker127 | Question: I'm using vmware workstation on windows 7 to run 8.04, and I cant browse inside of the vm. I've tried all the network setups, and i'm stumped. How do I set up the network between the host OS (windows) and the guest OS (ubuntu)? | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | moniker127: if you share the folder in windows, the share will be accessible like any other shared resource from linux | 11:40 |
| elimin8 | thats a good question Bolin, im unsure if it will accept the swedish | 11:40 |
| core1 | a | 11:40 |
| elimin8 | monkier127 be sure to enable write permissions on the windows machine though | 11:40 |
| Bolin | but will it accept en_US.ISO-8859-1 ? | 11:40 |
| geirha | Bolin: Don't think you can set the default character encoding with gnome-terminal I'm afraid. You can with xterm though, by starting it with: LANG=sv_SV.ISO-8859-1 xterm | 11:40 |
| moniker127 | Actionparsnip1 i'm actually just looking to connect the VM to the internet, I dont much care about host access. | 11:40 |
| elimin8 | xterm is the emulated terminal right? | 11:41 |
| chrisdone | yeah, of many | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | moniker127: if you want to browse the VM you will need to install and configure samba in the VM | 11:41 |
| Bolin | whats the diffrence between xterm and gnome-terminal+ | 11:41 |
| core1 | hai | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | moniker127: as long as the VM has an IP from your router, you will be able to browse it like a true system on the lan | 11:41 |
| moniker127 | ActionParsnip1 oh okay thanks | 11:41 |
| chrisdone | Bolin: xterm has crappier fonts by default but doesn't require GNOME | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !samba | moniker127 | 11:42 |

| chrisdone | Bolin: gnome-terminal is faster than xterm and takes less memory | 11:42 |
| geirha | Bolin: Doesn't have a menu-bar, and you need to edit files to configure it | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !info xterm | 11:42 |
| ubottu | xterm (source: xterm): X terminal emulator. In component main, is optional. Version 235-1ubuntu1.1 (intrepid), package size 459 kB, installed size 1132 kB | 11:42 |

| DIFH-ice1oot | vegombrei: because if you give someone a root-sftp-login you also give im a root-ssh-login! | 12:07 |

| vegombrei | DIFH-ice1oot: ActionParsnip1 : ok i made another account that doesnt have that many privilages ... how do i assign what all folders or hdd's i wanna share thru that account with people connecting to my ftp ? | 12:09 |
| Bolin | does anyone know of a homepage or something with a list over different terminals? | 12:09 |
| jaggedaloc | I updated to a later image, and it is better, but it is still marked Release Canidate. | 12:09 |
| Bolin | and with a little info on every terminal | 12:09 |
| jaggedaloc | I can | 12:09 |
| syockit | SunnyDP: it looks hardware specific | 12:09 |
| DIFH-ice1oot | vegombrei: you are sharing the /home/user | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !sound | jedfox | 12:09 |
| ubottu | jedfox: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 12:09 |
| DIFH-ice1oot | vegombrei: and all other files the user can use, sftp = ssh | 12:09 |
| jaggedaloc | I can't find an official release. | 12:10 |
| vegombrei | oh | 12:10 |
| vegombrei | DIFH-ice1oot: is there a way i can test this ? | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vegombrei: it will default to the users home dir, you can make a symlink in the folder to the data you want to sare but make sure you give the new user appropriate access to the data | 12:10 |
| DIFH-ice1oot | vegombrei: connect to localhost | 12:10 |
| jaggedaloc | Should I try unr? Am I missing the actual release version of the Classmate image? | 12:10 |
| geirha | vegombrei: Make a group for the purpose of setting the access of such users. Add all users to that group, then set the group ownership of all files and folders they should have access to to that group. And of course, set the group read, write and execute bits accordingly | 12:11 |
| SunnyDP | should i instal Pulse audio ??? | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SunnyDP: if you are unhappy with your current sound system, sure otherwise, whats the point? | 12:12 |
| SunnyDP | yeah | 12:12 |
| vegombrei | geirha: i get that ive set all rights to read only ... i want that user to simply log in and download whatever .. i dont want them making changes .. | 12:12 |
| SunnyDP | i would like to have some surround sound features | 12:12 |

| vegombrei | geirha: however, i think ill also make a r/w/d folder so they can put some files in there for me too | 12:13 |
| vegombrei | DIFH-ice1oot: how do i connect to local host ? | 12:13 |
| DIFH-ice1oot | vegombrei: use filezilla (sudo apt-get install filezilla) host=localhost, user=your-user, pass= your-pass, port = 22 | 12:14 |
| geirha | vegombrei: Places -> Connect to server, Type -> SSH, host: localhost etc... | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vegombrei: you are going to learn a big lot about groups and permissions while you set this up | 12:15 |
| geirha | vegombrei: I recommend you give a seperate user to each of the persons that should be allowed to connect | 12:15 |
| vegombrei | i cant make multiple users .. i have a poor pc that will be really overwhelmed .. already the fan sometimes goes so loud its annoying | 12:16 |
| vostibackle | is there a way to open a file with the default application from a terminal? | 12:17 |

| SunnyDP | Thanks brother | 12:19 |
| vegombrei | ActionParsnip1: i see what you mean bro ... lots of permissions to be allotted hehehe | 12:19 |
| geirha | vegombrei: You browse to it. In the client you should be able to set which directory you enter by default, and you could also create a symlink in each user's homedir, so they can just double-click that | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | broonsparrow: can you pastebin the fonts.conf file please | 12:20 |
| emuq | hej | 12:21 |
| funkyHat | vegombrei: setting up another user just for sftp access will use negligible system resources so you should be fine | 12:21 |
| vegombrei | geirha: im a noob .. i donno much bro ... how can i set my ftp client to open my external drive folder by default instead of the home dir of that user | 12:22 |
| sorin7486 | is there any tool to restore deleted partition | 12:22 |
| sorin7486 | ????? | 12:22 |
| funkyHat | If you want to restrict sftp access to a particular folder you can use 'scponly' as the shell for that account, and set that person's root as the folder you want to allow access to | 12:22 |
| geirha | vegombrei: well, I've never used filezilla, but with nautilus, you set the path when you connect. If you omit the path, it opens in the homefolder | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !recover | sorin7486 | 12:23 |
| ubottu | sorin7486: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 12:23 |

| ramontayag | hey everyone. what's the difference between ; and && when chaining commands? | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | blizzle: no backup == data is expendable | 12:24 |
| vegombrei | geirha: i understand .. but im not gonna be the one connecting thru filezilla right .. my brothers got xp and he'll prolly download an ftp for windows .. how do i redirect the path when he loggs in to the external drive instead of the home folder | 12:24 |
| ikonia | ramontayag: one is do this exit, do the next, the other is do this, then if it works do that | 12:25 |
| blizzle | ActionParsnip1, no backup often == user is clueless. | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ramontayag: ; == do this next. && = do this ONLY if the previos command succeeds | 12:25 |

| shockwave | and when im not at the vent screen i cant talk | 12:26 |
| ramontayag | oCean_: cool =) thanks! | 12:26 |
| geirha | vegombrei: Click around in the connection options, there's got to be a place to put the path/folder you want to start in there somewhere | 12:26 |
| vegombrei | geirha: but dont you think it should be a feature in the openssh-server ? | 12:27 |
| broonsparrow | actionparsnip1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117622/ it's pasted here | 12:28 |

| elimin8 | masood, are you using nvidia drivers? | 12:33 |
| masood | elimin: no it's intel (965) | 12:34 |
| funkyHat | masood: xorg.conf is still used if you have it, it's just not usually necessary now, so go ahead and set it up if you need it | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | broonsparrow: you could rename your file and make a new fonts file with my text instead just to test | 12:34 |
| broonsparrow | ActionParsnip1, ah right - i wondered how to do that! cheers. my first line is, I think, the same as yours | 12:34 |
| vegombrei | funkyHat: ive already installed openssh-server .. cant i configure that to work instead ? | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | broonsparrow: since you renamed it out you cn easil roll back if the test fails | 12:34 |
| geirha | vegombrei: Seems you can have filezilla take urls, so you could just send an url to the users: sftp://user@host/path/to/external/drive | 12:34 |

| mick02 | Folks, I installed the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 8.10 on a friends laptop last night but to my dismay,every time I rebooted the laptop it would not accept the password that I had set up. I've done all the usuals by making sure caps lock isn't on etc etc and Google is not giving me any answers. Has anyone in here experienced this problem and if so has anyone got a fix? Thanks in advance. | 12:36 |
| funkyHat | masood: if you do `ls /etc/X11` do you see anything that starts xorg.conf. ? | 12:36 |
| geirha | vegombrei: ssh only authenticates you, then passes you on to the system, which by default will send you to the homedir | 12:36 |
| jrib | mick02: reboot into recovery mode and reset the password | 12:37 |
| masood | funkyHat: yes i have xorg.conf but it's empty. | 12:37 |
| broonsparrow | ActionParsnip1, right done | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mick02: boot to root console by pressing esc when grub shows its face and boot to recovery mode, you can then test the password with the keyboard before running passwd <username you created> to set the password | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | broonsparrow: ok, do what you do to get the original error | 12:38 |

| dee25 | virtualbox | 13:06 |
| uppsalabo | Hi out there. Anybody know how to get around kdebase-kio-plugins not available when trying to install e.g. knights? | 13:06 |
| ct529 | !virtualbox | 13:06 |
| rip_ | virtualbox it is | 13:06 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 13:06 |
| rip_ | lol | 13:06 |
| elimin8 | yes sorry, i had it opposite :) | 13:06 |
| ct529 | rip_: I am running both xp and ubuntustudio in virtual machines using virtualbox | 13:06 |
| rip_ | ct529: sweet :) ty, lookin it up now | 13:07 |
| uppsalabo | rip, you could get vmware server (free download) for linux, it should run at ubuntu as well as other flavours :) | 13:07 |
| elimin8 | virtualbox runs any iso as a system right, will it save the settings of that system also? | 13:07 |
| Ace|Work | greetings, I'm trying to install my RAID driver (highpoint 2320) however doing a make install still calls mkinitrd. would someone be kind enough to help me change the makefile ? | 13:07 |
| rip_ | elimin8 that was my next question | 13:07 |
| ct529 | I have 810 64bit installed on a SATA disk .... is it better to set the disk up as ATA or as AHCI in the BIOS (performance - wise)? It is presently ATA .... | 13:09 |
| iz_ | I'm trying to mount ttyS0, but can't seem to figure out how. | 13:10 |
| Ace|Work | ct529: yes, if not it AHCI it does not use NQC (native command queueing) | 13:10 |
| Ace|Work | ct529: in other words, set it to AHCI mode to enable SATA2 features | 13:10 |
| spsneo | I want to mirror a repository for local access in my university, but the server has fedora on it. so how can I mirror an ubuntu repo on fedora | 13:11 |
| ct529 | Ace|Work: if I switch it now, will it cause any trouble? | 13:11 |
| ct529 | Ace|Work: the installtion is done | 13:11 |
| uppsalabo | Anybody know how to get around dependency problems in 8.10 involving kdebase-kio-plugins? | 13:12 |
| Ace|Work | ct529: In windows it will after install, I doubt it will in ubuntu however it can be easely changed back if it does not work and then it will boot fine again | 13:12 |
| Ace|Work | spsneo: as long as you can get apt-mirror installed i dont see why running it on fedora would be a problem | 13:13 |
| ct529 | Ace|Work: I used to use a nice command line command that returned a detailed description of the hardware on my pc .... I forgot it .... do you by any chance remember it? | 13:13 |
| Ace|Work | ct529: do you mean "lspci" or "dmesg" ? | 13:13 |
| bimberi | lshw | 13:13 |
| Ace|Work | doh :) | 13:13 |
| bimberi | :) | 13:13 |
| redline5653 | does anyone know why my fresh install goes to standby every 30-40 seconds? | 13:14 |
| ct529 | Ace|Work: nope, none of the two .... it returned detailed information on the motherboard and the manufacturers as well .... | 13:14 |
| Ace|Work | I'm trying to install my RAID driver (highpoint 2320) however doing a make install still calls mkinitrd. would someone be kind enough to help me change the makefile to call initramfs instead? | 13:15 |
| Ace|Work | ct529: you tried "lshw" which bimberi suggested as wel ? | 13:15 |
| Ace|Work | think thats the one you are looking for | 13:15 |
| spsneo | Ace|Work: so I just need to compile apt-mirror source and install it? | 13:16 |
| spsneo | right? | 13:16 |
| karlwett1n | where is the pppd log located by default? it doesnt seemt to use syslog? | 13:16 |

| dupondje-- | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/329053 | 14:08 |
| bernz | SleepingSebbe, you mean the VNC server *thinks* the user is still logged in, but the connection is properly closed? (sounds like server missed the event somehow, and is now holding onto bogus session data or something)... still, a trace of the traffic is probably the most useful observation to begin with (i'm not an expert, mind you) | 14:10 |
| bernz | SleepingSebbe, (of course, it also sounds like you are using some sort of VPN-like thing in the middle to bridge your lab (usually isolated) with Internet-at-large) | 14:10 |

| bernz | (i'm including NAT issues and so on, though you might have already addressed that) | 14:11 |
| SleepingSebbe | bernz: Yes and no, the VNC server closes his connection to the client. But the user is still logged on the machine, when he wants to login again the gets an error that he is already logged in. So we are looking for a solution to auto logout a inactive user or to logout when the VNCserver connection is killed | 14:12 |

| bernz | SleepingSebbe, okay, well, here's an idea i thought of in 2 seconds, so it's pretty much ummm.. german-word is "umstaendlich" -- can't think of the english, atm -- anyway: write a simple proxy that goes between your server and the next level "out" (to-Internet) -- if it loses connection, it will "notice", and then it can take some action (shell script or something) to do whatever is required to give the server a kick in the head and log the user out | 14:13 |

| SleepingSebbe | bernz: sounds complicated because we are using a VPN, and we would like to implement a java VNC viewer. Is there an option to auto logout after a certain amount of time? | 14:15 |
| rakudave | bernz: ok, "overkill" then... | 14:16 |
| francesco_ | ciao a tutti | 14:16 |
| bernz | SleepingSebbe, for that, i'd check the documentation for the VNC server you're using; it should be in there somewhere, though i don't know what it would be called (search text for 'auto', though, for sure) | 14:16 |
| godowner | Hello all, Is there anyone that can help me with installing gdlibrary2 ? please :S | 14:16 |
| bernz | rakudave, yeah, well... it's hard to translate | 14:16 |
| edju | /etc/passwd has the shell for nobody set as /bin/sh. Should that be /bin/false? | 14:17 |
| bernz | rakudave, i mean, to get the precise connotation right in English | 14:17 |

| * bernz would like to stress how important it is to use standard (some would say "correct" but let's not get political) terminology when describing a problem [this is also for the log] | 14:25 | |
| heatmzzr | bernz: kinda newbie. tried to load 64bit ver last night, but realized some things I need to use arent available, so now I have a bootloader full of crap i dont want | 14:25 |

| Cheery | bemuse: that's ugliest desktop I've ever seen | 14:26 |
| bernz | heatmzzr, well, out of sight, out of mind, right? so you should be able to edit your boot menu (read docs on your bootloader to find its location) and remove the unwanted entries, and you're done ;-) (that's the "quick and dirty" way, though... not the Right Way) | 14:26 |
| === Guest41707 is now known as hellmasterjbe | ||
| bernz | (in this case, i don't know what the Right Way is, just that what i suggested is not it) | 14:27 |

| arturgam3r | kreino_: try to retsart with CTRL+ALT+Backspace | 14:27 |
| Cheery | bemuse: I've never seen that, been myself wondering whether there would be a better desklet implementation | 14:27 |
| kreino_ | ok | 14:28 |
| bemuse | Okay :( | 14:28 |
| Cheery | I gues I'd google "pimp your gnome" | 14:28 |
| iz_ | I'll give this another try; how do I make Xubuntu aware of the serial port as a "com device", or at least mount i properly? | 14:29 |
| heatmzzr | bernz: would rather free up hard drive space rather that have 3 distros crowding things | 14:29 |
| xaos11 | hi | 14:29 |
| bernz | heatmzzr, fair enough; in that case, step 0: backup the installation you want to keep ;-) | 14:29 |

| bernz | heatmzzr, and frankly, at today's speeds, it might be fastest to just wipe everthing, and re-install the distro you want, then restore (remount) your (already-separated-in-advance) '/home' and other "keeper" partitions | 14:31 |

| bernz | heatmzzr, what i found useful when replacing a whole disk, is to delete the partition table and write it (to ensure it's clean), then reboot into whatever distro's installer CD | 14:35 |
| sipior | DeathNote: is your current system having a problem with that load? and if so, what do you plan on modifying in the kernel sources to sort things out? | 14:35 |

| === lelbi is now known as Alex_chieur | ||
| bernz | heatmzzr, anyway, first identify your bootloader (it's probably GRUB, but check to be sure) | 14:35 |

| Alex_chieur | Je m'appelle Alex et je suis un chieur | 14:35 |

| Andy[1] | Hey all, I'm trying Ubuntu (and Linux) for the first time, am on the live version atm as I can't seem to get dual boot working, when I try and partition it says the partition fails. Is there settings I need to change to the XP installation to allow Ubuntu to modify the existing XP partition? | 14:39 |
| shally87 | Scunizi: motherboard driver.. there is linux driver that it supply here in the cd and i just notice it. as now i am using the compatible driver provide by the ubuntu cd | 14:39 |

| judget_ | I broke my automount feature anyone else manage to do that and fix it? | 14:41 |
| shally87 | it's just that right now i got the vbox in my pc..then i can oonly use NAT but cannot host interface to give my Vbox different ip each.. so i think i want to install the lan driver | 14:42 |
| bernz | Andy[1], no, linux is generally sufficiently powerful to overwrite existing OS without help | 14:42 |
| Scunizi | Andy[1]: If you're going to dual boot. before repartitioning go to windows and run defrag from recovery or safe mode.. that means when booting push F8 to get the boot menu and choose safe mode.. the screen will look weird but then just run defrag.. | 14:42 |
| chaosphere_ | yes gparted for example | 14:42 |
| chaosphere_ | when it's not installed, open a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install gparted' | 14:43 |
| shally87 | the path to my lan in cd is /media/cdrom0/LinuxDrivers/Lan/Attansic/AtL2Linux_v0.2.40.0 | 14:43 |
| Andy[1] | scunizi, and then ubuntu disc will be able to partiion ok? :) | 14:43 |
| Scunizi | shally87: not being able to give vbox a different ip has nothing to do with the lan driver | 14:43 |

| rubberducky_ | arturgam3r, when i boot livecd ubuntu and i insert an SD card it shows in computer locations | 14:58 |

| shally87 | how to cd? change directory | 14:59 |
| shally87 | !cd | 14:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cd | 14:59 |
| rubberducky_ | Scunizi, yes, only cdrom there | 14:59 |
| shally87 | cd documents$ or..? | 14:59 |
| oCean_ | judget_: sorry, not ideas atm. Rebuilding GTK might have damaged this or that. I really don't know. | 14:59 |
| riegersn | im getting an error when trying to use gtk2 themes.. "Gtk-WARNING **: libxcb-render-util.so.0: cannot open shared object file" Can anyone help me out ? (ubuntu cli + openbox) | 15:00 |
| judget_ | how can I undo the GTK build? | 15:00 |
| oCean_ | shally87: just "cd /path/to/directory" | 15:00 |
| arturgam3r | rubberducky_, ah sorry. i unterstood you not right. if you go to places there's is only showed CD? | 15:00 |
| oCean_ | heatmzzr: you mean "rm" command ? | 15:00 |
| Scunizi | rubberducky_: devices aren't mounted there.. /dev is the original reference I think and /mnt is another location.. not really sure.. but /media isn't the right spot for devices | 15:00 |
| shally87 | owh.. why this cd is different than windows | 15:00 |
| elimin8 | Hello, im attempting to install an embeded terminal on my system, durring the install it says to make a gnome-terminal profile but when i go to file there is no option to create a new profile. | 15:00 |

| shally87 | yesterday got one teach me using $ but i forgot | 15:01 |
| jerndoe | scunizi: its acutually working.. by running xfce4-session through i got the whole desktop from the remote machine... | 15:01 |
| rubberducky_ | arturgam3r, but sd cards show up in /dev so i can mount them manually | 15:01 |
| Scunizi | jerndoe: what was the line you used? | 15:02 |
| oCean_ | shally87: the "$" is for use with variables. Like "cd $DOCS", however, the DOCS variable should be declared somewhere before you're able to use that. | 15:02 |
| jerndoe | scunizi: just ssh -X etc... | 15:02 |
| shally87 | a-liew@Yumie:~$ "cd /documents" | 15:02 |
| shally87 | bash: cd /documents: No such file or directory | 15:02 |
| elimin8 | shally87, case is important | 15:02 |
| jerndoe | scunizi: after that i started xfcr4-session through ssh | 15:02 |
| scientes | wtf the perlapi package is completely mission from the package.ubuntu.com web site | 15:02 |
| elimin8 | be sure its not Desktop instead of desktop | 15:02 |

| rubberducky_ | arturgam3r, any other idea | 15:03 |
| kavity | shally87: cd ~/Documents | 15:03 |
| oCean_ | shally87: when navigating to folder in your home dir use "cd ~/Documents" - mind you unix is case sensitive | 15:03 |
| Scunizi | jerndoe: AH .. that's the magick part.. did you start it with /etc/init.d/xfce4-session start ? | 15:03 |
| elimin8 | shally87, try cd /Documents | 15:03 |
| kavity | oCean_: ; | 15:03 |
| kavity | ) | 15:03 |
| arturgam3r | rubberducky_, mh normally it should be mounted autmatcly. is d-bus, udev running? | 15:03 |
| elimin8 | sorry kavity you typed faster :) | 15:03 |
| kitche | elimin8: ubuntu does not have a document folder in / unless you made it of course | 15:03 |
| kavity | elimin8: You'd need the ~ first though. | 15:03 |

| shockwave | hey can some one help me? | 15:04 |
| jerndoe | scunizi: just a newbie so don't know if theres any disadvantages... | 15:04 |
| shally87 | so hard only know | 15:04 |
| kavity | shockwave: Maybe? | 15:04 |
| shally87 | they dont want to simplified this? | 15:04 |
| shockwave | sudo apt-get install alsa-oss | 15:04 |
| Scunizi | jerndoe: I'll have to try that.. right now I'm ssh'd into my server and running screen.. all cli stuff.. nice to use x once in a while | 15:04 |
| jerndoe | scunizi: fooling around in blind, just wanted to add my torrents to another server actually | 15:04 |
| shockwave | when im trying to use this command | 15:05 |
| shockwave | it says | 15:05 |
| kavity | shockwave: Simplify what? | 15:05 |
| kavity | Err, sorry... | 15:05 |
| kreino | help... | 15:05 |
| [SkG] | shally87, use cd Documents not cd /Documents | 15:05 |
| kavity | shally87: Simplify what? | 15:05 |
| shockwave | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 15:05 |
| Scunizi | jerndoe: it would be interesting to run screen before starting x .. | 15:05 |
| shockwave | how do i fix this? | 15:05 |
| kavity | shockwave: Type dpkg --configure -a ...? | 15:05 |
| shally87 | simplify like in windows.. you can cd documents and no need cd ~/documents | 15:05 |
| Scunizi | shockwave: do what it says? | 15:05 |
| shally87 | plus you can do .. | 15:05 |
| oCean_ | shally87: If you like graphical file browser better... Go to Places menu > Home folder | 15:05 |
| jerndoe | scunizi: erh.. am not with you there, screen? | 15:05 |
| shally87 | then back to the root | 15:05 |
| [SkG] | shally87, use cd Documents not cd /Documents <----------------- | 15:05 |
| kavity | shally87: You can use cd Documents, then use cd .. to go back to the root. | 15:06 |
| shally87 | [SkG]: tq | 15:06 |
| [SkG] | if you put /Documents is not your home folder | 15:06 |
| shockwave | now i have a nother problam | 15:06 |
| shockwave | dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege | 15:06 |
| kreino | plz help, all locked. i cant run anything.. hwo to reset what i have done... i had doing chmod 667 | 15:06 |
| shally87 | kavity: i've been cd Documents since just now and thats why i come and ask | 15:06 |
| [SkG] | is / -> Documents, not /home/user/ -> Documents | 15:06 |
| ct529 | Ace|Work: bimberi: back .... I have switch to AHCI and no problem so far .... do you have a nice benchmark to measure hard disk performances? | 15:06 |
| shockwave | ? | 15:07 |
| Scunizi | jerndoe: screen is magick for the terminal.. when you ssh into a box you get a terminal prompt.. what if you wanted to do several things on that machine but only had one terminal prompt.. some would create another ssh session.. but it's not needed with screen .. it can create different "windows" | 15:07 |
| elimin8 | shockwave, try sudo dpkg --configure -a ? | 15:07 |
| kavity | shockwave: Put sudo infront of it. | 15:07 |
| shally87 | i guess the case is important after all | 15:07 |
| kavity | Beaten. | 15:07 |
| elimin8 | Yay :D | 15:07 |
| shally87 | need to be so careful | 15:07 |
| shockwave | ok | 15:07 |
| kavity | shally87: Case is very important. Documents is a different tdirectory then documents | 15:07 |
| heatmzzr | what is the command to delete folders including all files in it? | 15:07 |
| kavity | Careful? | 15:07 |
| shally87 | ok.. | 15:07 |
| quibbler | shockwave: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 15:07 |
| kavity | heatmzzr: rm-rf | 15:07 |
| oCean_ | shally87: at http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download2.html there is a pocketguide you can download for free. See chapter 5 for a nice intro on 'hands-on on the commandline" | 15:07 |
| shally87 | thanks all.. | 15:07 |
| kavity | heatmzzr: rm -rf. | 15:07 |
| shockwave | thanks alot it works | 15:08 |
| Scunizi | jerndoe: brb.. I'm going to "disconnect" from screen and reconnect in a different way so I can try running X | 15:08 |
| shockwave | :D | 15:08 |
| shally87 | ok.. thanks.. | 15:08 |
| shally87 | need more readings.., | 15:08 |
| kreino | Myrtti, help me | 15:08 |
| kavity | shally87: man pages are your friend,. | 15:08 |
| Phine | does anyone know how to use scrot from a remote machine. | 15:08 |
| elimin8 | actually im reading a very good ubuntu book | 15:08 |
| Phine | I want to ssh into my home box and take a screen shot of the current desktop | 15:08 |
| elimin8 | it might help let me see if i can find it | 15:08 |
| kavity | I've got the linux bible. | 15:08 |
| kavity | And I think I may stll have some book about ubuntu too. | 15:09 |
| Phine | anyone? | 15:09 |
| abeeky | hi everybody,how can i create birgde on ubuntu with my wiress card? | 15:09 |
| kavity | Phine: Hrmm... | 15:09 |
| kavity | Phine: That'd be rather difficult. | 15:09 |
| shally87 | # ./install.sh | 15:09 |
| shally87 | this one is not for ubuntu?? | 15:09 |
| Phine | why kavity | 15:09 |
| elimin8 | shally87, this guide explains alot about ubuntu http://lifehacker.com/5139752/ubuntu-pocket-guide-available-as-a-free-download | 15:09 |
| Phine | I just want to shot the current desktop | 15:09 |
| jerndoe | scunizi: thats handy, I actually needed that earlier today.... is it a command og program | 15:09 |
| Phine | anyway I can | 15:09 |
| Scunizi | jerndoe: k.. I'm back.. screen lets you disconnect from a computer and reconnect later with all your stuff still running and accessable. | 15:09 |
| kavity | Phine: You could try finding a console screenshot program for X, and ssh and run it, but I don't think that'd work for you either. | 15:10 |
| heatmzzr | is there a command to delete all folders in a location? | 15:10 |
| Phine | hmm | 15:10 |
| Scunizi | jerndoe: looks like I didn't start this ssh session with the -X option. | 15:10 |
| kavity | heatmzzr: rm -rf foldername/ | 15:11 |
| kavity | Just don't do rm -rf / ;) | 15:11 |
| kjell | sigh, please comment it before writing that command. | 15:11 |
| kavity | ? | 15:12 |
| oCean_ | !danger | 15:12 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 15:12 |
| quibbler | kavity: don't even joke about that | 15:12 |
| jimcooncat | Phine check out vncsnapshot | 15:12 |
| genii-around | kavity: What kjell just remarked. There are ppl who will just test whatever commands others write in this channel, sometimes with disastrous results | 15:12 |
| Scunizi | jerndoe: I've just started playing with ssh & screen.. so I have irssi running on the server for irc access from any machine in the housee and mutt for imap access to my gmail account all via cli and ssh and screen | 15:12 |
| kavity | One would have to be pretty stupid to run it a second after I just explianed how it deletes all the folders... | 15:12 |
| kavity | :\ | 15:13 |
| kitche | quibbler: I see nothing that kavity did wrong since he said don't run that command | 15:13 |
| heatmzzr | yeah, im wiping out 115 gb of crap lol | 15:13 |
| kavity | I guess some people just have to learn the hard way. | 15:13 |
| kjell | kavity: well, printing the logs in some ways sometimes makes the terminal to run the commands if not commented before with a #. | 15:13 |
| jerndoe | scunizi: is screen a command or program? | 15:13 |
| Scunizi | jerndoe: program.. | 15:13 |
| DIFH-ice1oot | jerndoe: both :) | 15:13 |
| kitche | kjell: if the logs run commands then your looking at the logs incorrectly then | 15:14 |
| jerndoe | scunizi: got a link to to a guide, I'm curious | 15:14 |
| lascar | I'm getting the "xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers" error in amarok. How do I restart the sound server? | 15:14 |
| jimcooncat | screen -r is a command that attaches to a running screen program :-) | 15:14 |
| NOKIA^83g^ | Ciao amici di #ubuntu | 15:14 |
| kavity | kjell: The only way that would happen is if you concatenated the file one line at a time, and put an exec in front of it or something. | 15:14 |
| Scunizi | jerndoe: http://www.linuxdynasty.org/screen-howto-part-1.html Here's another.. it's a very popular program | 15:14 |
| racerx | when creating a folder with nautilus, it used to put me inside the folder after creation. How can I get this functionality back? | 15:14 |
| bernz | jimcooncat, even more to the point, it RE-attaches (and you can specify WHICH terminal to re-attach to ;-) | 15:15 |
| kavity | racerx: Check the options. | 15:15 |
| * jimcooncat thanks bernz for the clarification | 15:15 | |
| bernz | jimcooncat, it's for the log; always for the log ;-D | 15:15 |
| godowner | Anyone here can help me installing "yum"? | 15:15 |
| racerx | kavity: I have looked at the preferences but doesn't seem to tell me anything relating to this? | 15:16 |
| Scunizi | jimcooncat: if you don't detach from screen correctly it could remain running so you would have to reconnect with screen -d -r <session> | 15:16 |
| kavity | racerx: Sorry, I've only ever used nautilus once porbably. | 15:16 |

| ubottu | dee25: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 15:52 |

| mhall119 | syadow: I think he followed them wrong, 667 gives read/write to the owner and group, but read/write/execute to everyone | 15:54 |
| Scunizi | dee25: your system might have the 7xx intel driver instead of the 8xx driver loaded.. check System>Admin>synaptic and search for intel looking for the driver.. install the right one and uninstall the wrong one. | 15:55 |
| mhall119 | syadow: boot into recovery mode and chmod 755 /home/$yourname | 15:55 |
| Scunizi | dee25: after that restart and it if that was the problem then it'll be fixed. | 15:55 |
| neebly | Hi there! | 15:56 |
| Cpudan80 | dee25: you can use xrandr if the resolution is not detected, by 1024x768 is so common that it should be detected no sweat | 15:56 |

File should be owned by user nad have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users" | 15:57 |
| Scunizi | Cpudan80: intel is well supported.. when you have issues like her's it's usually because the wrong driver was loaded.... usually :) | 15:57 |
| Twois10 | is 24 kbps a acceptable bits to recode mp3s | 15:58 |
| Cpudan80 | right | 15:58 |
| mhall119 | syadow: chmod 755 /home/$youruser will fix part of that | 15:58 |
| ikonia | Twois10: your choice, it's a user preference | 15:58 |
| SlimeyPete | Twois10: 24? Not for music | 15:58 |
| mhall119 | chmod 644 /home/$youruser/.dmrc will fix the other | 15:58 |
| ikonia | Twois10: seems very low | 15:58 |
| syadow | mhall119, im trying... | 15:58 |
| SlimeyPete | Music will sound terrible at 24kbps; voice will be okay-ish but still sound pretty bad | 15:58 |
| mhall119 | syadow: you may need to fix permissions on other files under the home directory to get things working right | 15:59 |
| Twois10 | ikonia SlimeyPete am asking because 24 is not 2^n and yes its voice only | 15:59 |
| Twois10 | its a book | 15:59 |

| ikonia | pgehi: have you changed any of the package versions ? | 16:00 |
| Scunizi | dee25: installed? that would be the wrong one.. you need the i8xx I believe | 16:00 |

| dee25 | yeaa they were installed as marked | 16:00 |
| dee25 | and nuttin same | 16:00 |
| dee25 | 800x600 | 16:00 |
| ikonia | pgehi: so your referencing compiled symbols that are incompatible with the function calls your making (bad explination) | 16:00 |
| ikonia | pgehi: I suggest you join the developers mail list for that | 16:01 |
| mhall119 | pgehi: do you have the mesa dev packages? | 16:01 |
| pgehi | ikonia: do i need them? isnt mesa an emulation of opengl? | 16:01 |
| Twois10 | recoding the book to 16kbps reduce the size to 470 so after my calculation 24 bits come to about 760+ | 16:01 |
| Twois10 | 670+* | 16:01 |
| ikonia | pgehi: I don't know what your doing - so I can't comment | 16:01 |
| syadow | mhall119, thanks. it's successful... thnks so much... i learned something useful today | 16:02 |

| pgehi | ikonia: im developing an opengl application using Xlib, and for connecting opengl to Xlib i need glXCreateContext | 16:02 |
| mhall119 | syadow: you might have some other bugs popup as a result of this, depending on what files had their permissions changed | 16:02 |
| ikonia | pgehi: that doesn't help | 16:02 |
| Twois10 | oh, looks like its working | 16:02 |

| carpii | hmm, yeah thats true | 16:16 |
| JEEBcz | he just needs some stuff set and probably the right flags for some apps | 16:16 |
| Scunizi | !ics | thomc | 16:16 |
| ubottu | thomc: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 16:16 |
| JEEBcz | and he might get going with cross-compilation | 16:16 |
| deus | I'm having a bit of trouble with the new kde 4.2. When I click on the start menu, right click on an application and select "add to desktop", nothing happens. How is this possible? | 16:17 |
| quibbler | ubuntu 8.04..my system sounds are no longer working (last couple of days)...all other sounds are fine....everything set to alsa....can someone shed some light as to why this has happened? | 16:17 |
| * JEEBcz got x264 to build on ubuntu/mingw32 for win32 some time ago, but gave up on editing the makefiles in order to make fprofile use "wine x264.exe" instead of just x264 >_> | 16:17 | |
| ForzaPalermo | hey guys, anyone get sound in firefox with the x64 adobe flash plugin? | 16:19 |
| ikonia | ForzaPalermo: I have | 16:19 |
| dee25 | hello | 16:19 |
| Khepr | The question is, can the gcc on linux produce a PE EXE file or not | 16:19 |
| ikonia | ForzaPalermo: (not at his moment) | 16:19 |
| ikonia | Khepr: what ? | 16:19 |
| dee25 | i try but now it said | 16:19 |
| Myrtti | ForzaPalermo: check no other app uses your sound devices | 16:19 |
| dee25 | cannot display this video mode | 16:19 |
| deus | in ubuntu, how can you switch the audio output device, for example between box and headset? | 16:20 |
| cara | Hi all, I have doubt | 16:20 |
| cara | lol j/k | 16:20 |
| Scunizi | dee25: restart into recovery mode and there will be an option to "fix video or resolution".. try that | 16:21 |
| quibbler | cara: we all doubt from time to time | 16:21 |
| dee25 | alright how u get into recovery mode | 16:21 |
| dee25 | ? | 16:21 |
| ikonia | dee25: reboot and from the boot menu select recovery mode | 16:22 |
| deus | how can you tell ubuntu to use your headset instead of your boxes and visa versa? | 16:22 |
| cara | I'm having an issue though. I tried to compile my own kernel the ubuntu way and when I install the package created it doesn't update the menu.list or install the kernel in the linux-image built. Is there something faulty with my command? Here the's command I used: fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-default kernel-image kernel-header | 16:22 |
| Scunizi | dee25: on boot when you get to the grub menu it's the second option. if you don't see the menu then you'll be presented a time period to hit ESC to get the menu. | 16:22 |
| dee25 | i cant into the recovery mode i have a dell dimension 3000 | 16:23 |
| ikonia | dee25: you an | 16:23 |
| dee25 | oh i have is f2 and f12 | 16:23 |
| ikonia | dee25: the hardware model doesn't make the grub boot menu dissapear | 16:23 |
| ikonia | dee25: reboot, and where you would normally select ubuntu - select ubuntu recovery mode | 16:23 |
| dee25 | ohhhh to the kernel section | 16:23 |
| dee25 | lol im sorry | 16:23 |
| Scunizi | dee25: no.. you're thinking windows.. when you start the machine GRUB is the boot menu for ubuntu.. it's there that you'll fiind the recovery mode.. it's text based | 16:24 |
| dee25 | yes i see it | 16:24 |
| dee25 | now | 16:24 |
| dee25 | ubuntu 8.10 kernel 2.6.27.11 gerenic recovery mode | 16:24 |
| cara | Hello? | 16:25 |
| icekold | Hi | 16:25 |

| gramirez_ | how can I get 3ddesktop on my ubuntu 8.10 ? | 16:26 |
| ikonia | gramirez_: compiz-fusion is already installed for you, just configure it | 16:26 |

| odeland | I have a question regarding ubuntu server, I'd like to know if it's possible to make it work without keyboard/mouse/screen plugged in? is that possible once the initial install is done? | 16:27 |
| gramirez_ | txs ikonia | 16:27 |
| dee25 | ok done that it showed black screened white lettering and now went back to the menu | 16:27 |
| ikonia | odeland: sure | 16:27 |
| Pici | odeland: Sure. | 16:27 |
| gramirez_ | i cant found how to do it | 16:27 |
| Scunizi | odeland: yep.. talking to you on one now.. ssh'd into it | 16:27 |
| ikonia | odeland: just unplug them | 16:27 |
| ikonia | odeland: most motherboards will allow it | 16:27 |
| Pici | odeland: As long as your BIOS allows you to boot without a keyboard connected you're good | 16:27 |
| odeland | ok, thanks, so I need to be careful with the motherboard I pick | 16:28 |
| ikonia | odeland: most modern ones are fine | 16:28 |
| ikonia | odeland: you can do this with the desktop install too (which makes an excellent home server) | 16:28 |
| ubuntu_ | I need help. I deleted a hdd and now i get error 15 from grub, how do i restore grub??? | 16:28 |
| ikonia | !grub > ubuntu_ | 16:28 |
| ubottu | ubuntu_, please see my private message | 16:28 |
| odeland | so if I instal desktop, I can use remote desktop to see the screen? | 16:29 |
| ikonia | odeland: remote desktop, ssh, vnc etc etc, lots of options | 16:29 |
| odeland | right | 16:29 |
| odeland | sounds good guys, thanks | 16:30 |
| mhall119 | Heck, if you have a good network, you can run X11 off of it | 16:30 |
| mhall119 | all of Gnome, running on a server, displayed on your workstation | 16:31 |
| mhall119 | but I wouldn't recommend it | 16:31 |
| odeland | why not? | 16:31 |
| odeland | bandwidth expansive? | 16:31 |
| mhall119 | X protocol isn't very efficient | 16:32 |
| mhall119 | VNC will be faster | 16:32 |
| mhall119 | still, it's kind of cool that you can do that | 16:33 |
| mhall119 | you can also run individual programs on the server, while displaying them on your local computer, by tunneling X over ssh | 16:34 |
| deus | any good programming environments for linux? | 16:35 |
| odeland | Eclipse? | 16:35 |
| rupl | lang? | 16:35 |
| deus | odeland: thnx I was looking for that name :) | 16:35 |
| mhall119 | odeland: I think so | 16:35 |
| Cpudan80 | Komodo Edit for the scripting languages | 16:35 |
| deus | both java, C, C++ etc | 16:35 |

| Cruster | mhall119: if I have ssh server running on a linux machine, can I access it's X11 with ssh -X ip from another machine? | 16:36 |
| lvr | how do i make a sort in cli so that folders are sorted in reversed alphabetical order and their contents in alphabetical order? | 16:36 |

| tripps | what's the best/easiest way to switch my intrepid laptop to xubuntu running xfce while maintaining the existing install? I want to see how a lighter weight desktop helps performance. | 16:38 |
| Cruster | mhall119: so I get my whole desktop or I just can run programms that require X11? | 16:38 |
| ikonia | Cruster: is this ubuntu 9.04 ? | 16:38 |
| mhall119 | tripps: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 16:38 |
| Cruster | ikonia: yes | 16:38 |
| tripps | mhall119, cool thanks! | 16:38 |
| ikonia | Cruster: please join #ubuntu+1 and discuss | 16:38 |
| mhall119 | Cruster: any windowed program on Ubuntu uses X11, and any X11 program can be displayed on a different computer than the one it's running on | 16:39 |
| ikonia | Cruster: as you know when you joined #ubuntu+1 that is the channel for 9.04 discussion | 16:39 |
| mhall119 | Cruster: there are some caveats though | 16:39 |
| Cruster | ikonia: I am discussing for ssh ?!?! | 16:39 |
| ikonia | Cruster: on 9.04 | 16:39 |
| mhall119 | Cruster: some applications, especially video and opengl ones, draw directly to the hardware, bypassing X11 | 16:39 |
| ikonia | Cruster: please take the discussion to #ubuntu+1 | 16:39 |

| directive0 | Sorry to interrupt, I was wondering if anyone could help me diagnose a Segmentation Fault I keep getting when trying to safely upgrade using aptitude? | 16:40 |
| vigo | Is the Gnome2 Ruby an apt-get? | 16:40 |
| ikonia | directive0: segfaults are normally pretty serious | 16:41 |
| ikonia | directive0: it's not easy to follow them through, what are you doing when it segfaults | 16:41 |
| dee25 | how u changed the resoluton on ubuntu 8.10 | 16:42 |

| srx2002 | hey guys, I installed apache2 and I'm trying to see if my server is accessible from outside my network....but when I enter http://myexternalip:80 it brings me to the linksys router page | 16:42 |
| srx2002 | any ideas | 16:42 |
| ikonia | dee25: the tools in system -> preference -> screen resolution | 16:42 |
| darthanubis | dee25, take a stroll through the menu | 16:42 |
| deus | is there in kubuntu a proper pdf viewer/editor? Somthing like adobe acrobat professional (with at least crop support)? | 16:42 |
| ikonia | srx2002: you've not got port forwarding setup | 16:42 |
| thomc | So I installed drivers for my wireless adapter using ndiswrapper, and it was recognized and working fine etc. And then I come to reboot and it's gone... what's up with that? | 16:42 |
| dee25 | is only | 16:42 |
| directive0 | ikonia: as aptitude begins to unpack my upgrades it successfully writes the extended package state information, then begins preconfiguring and simply states "Segmentation Fault" | 16:42 |
| dee25 | 800x600 | 16:42 |
| dee25 | i want 1204x768 | 16:43 |
| mhall119 | dee25: did you ever get the proper intel driver working? | 16:43 |
| broonsparrow | mailman. after spending all day I almost have Mailman installed, but I have one problem, when it says 'hostname' what would that be? | 16:43 |
| ikonia | directive0: not good at all | 16:43 |
| vigo | deus: I am most certain OpenOffice has one | 16:43 |
| mhall119 | or are you still using the vesa driver? | 16:43 |
| darthanubis | dee25, system>prefences>screen resolution, don't be lazy | 16:43 |
| directive0 | ikonia: could you elaborate? What is the likely cause, or causes? | 16:43 |
| mhall119 | darthanubis: dee25 has a driver issue | 16:43 |
| darthanubis | mhall119, sorry dee25 | 16:43 |
| dee25 | yeaaa | 16:43 |
| ikonia | directive0: likley cause good be anything, segfaults can often be bad hardware, but doesn't mean it always is | 16:43 |
| ikonia | directive0: need to do a backtrace and work it through | 16:44 |
| mhall119 | dee25, if you're still using the vesa driver, you won't get anything above 800x600 | 16:44 |
| dee25 | nah i took it off | 16:44 |
| deus | vigo: I don't mean creating a pdf, but viewing an existing pdf | 16:44 |
| dee25 | i was going the steps but the guy sign off | 16:44 |
| vigo | deus: Yes, O_O has that function in it | 16:44 |
| mhall119 | dee25: what driver are you running now? | 16:45 |
| dee25 | intel 82865G | 16:45 |
| directive0 | ikonia: that was what I was trying to figure out how to do. I'll go read some reference on the subject and maybe come back with some more info on my problem. Thanks for the advice. | 16:45 |
| mhall119 | dee25: if you have the right driver installed, try going through: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 16:45 |
| ikonia | directive0: if your going to log a bug it's worth running memtest for a good few hours on your PC to get an idea of your state of hardware before logging it, as that will be a common question you'll get asked once it's logged | 16:46 |
| ikonia | directive0: make sure nothing is overclocked etc etc | 16:46 |
| ikonia | directive0: make sure no tests fail etc etc | 16:46 |

| mhall119 | dee25: follow the instructions | 16:47 |
| paxcoder | mhall119: example? | 16:47 |
| mhall119 | paxcoder: Ubuntu will install proprietary drivers for things like video and wireless | 16:47 |
| paxcoder | mhall119: automatically? | 16:47 |
| ikonia | mhall119: that's not installed at default | 16:47 |
| mhall119 | paxcoder: yes, though it might prompt you, I don't remember | 16:47 |
| ikonia | paxcoder: it will prompt you if you'd like to do this | 16:47 |
| mhall119 | I do know that it will notify you when you first load the desktop that you are using proprietary drivers | 16:48 |
| paxcoder | hmmm. | 16:48 |
| dee25 | use kernel framebuffer device interface | 16:48 |
| mhall119 | dee25: no | 16:48 |
| paxcoder | ikonia: it will prompt you before you install them? | 16:48 |
| ikonia | paxcoder: default is nothing is installed, it gives you options/tool to use it | 16:48 |
| ikonia | paxcoder: you have to say "I'd like to install them" for it to install them, it won't just do it | 16:48 |
| mhall119 | ikonia: you sure about that? | 16:48 |
| ikonia | mhall119: yes | 16:48 |

| ikonia | tv74971: anyone means nothing, if someone missed the queston "anyone" won't tell them what it was, if they don't know, saying "anyone" won't make them know | 17:03 |
| ikonia | innociv: you don't need to reload | 17:03 |
| ikonia | innociv: iptables is real time | 17:03 |
| innociv | really? | 17:04 |
| ikonia | innociv: yes | 17:04 |
| i3ooi3oo | ikonia: it still doesn't work... it is like apache does't know what to do with .php files | 17:04 |
| innociv | ty | 17:04 |
| innociv | is it that way on centos too? seems like it wasn't | 17:04 |

| ikonia | innociv: on any os | 17:04 |

| ikonia | i3ooi3oo the whole dir is not there ? | 17:06 |
| mhall119 | i3ooi3oo: the directory is not there? | 17:07 |
| LogicFan | "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" is that the only command required to completely restart the sound driver in 8.10? | 17:07 |
| i3ooi3oo | cd sorry | 17:07 |
| LogicFan | it doesn't seem to be working for me | 17:07 |
| i3ooi3oo | sorry it's there | 17:07 |
| i3ooi3oo | wrong console... i did it on the ssh windows | 17:07 |
| mhall119 | are there any php.* files in mods-available? | 17:07 |
| Guest17396 | LogicFan: urm that does look like it restarts something propperly | 17:07 |
| mhall119 | or php5.* to be specific | 17:07 |
| skinofstars12 | LopgicFan, are we not using pulseaudio in 8.10 | 17:07 |
| i3ooi3oo | both php5 load and conf are there | 17:07 |
| LogicFan | sorry, i mean that it does restart correctly, but it doesn't re-enable sound | 17:07 |
| Rafael__ | ikonia..let me check | 17:07 |
| ikonia | i3ooi3oo: now look in mods-enabled | 17:08 |
| mhall119 | i3ooi3oo: ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ |grep php | 17:08 |
| ikonia | i3ooi3oo: or re-run sudo a2enmod php5 | 17:08 |
| i3ooi3oo | there too | 17:08 |
| mhall119 | restart apache2 | 17:08 |
| LogicFan | skinofstars12, sorry, pulse-audio? is that a different driver? | 17:08 |
| dougl | what is the command to open a shell window and run a command in that shell where program output can be veiwed? | 17:08 |
| i3ooi3oo | already enabled | 17:08 |
| mhall119 | LogicFan: PulseAudio is a sound server, not a driver | 17:08 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as kamel458 | ||
| quibbler | int256: open synaptic and search for Centericq | 17:08 |

| lasivian | I am trying to tether a window mobile device with ICS to ubuntu using rndis. dmesg says "Bad cdc descriptors" does anyone know why? thanks | 17:09 |
| skinofstars12 | LogicFan: when i've had sound issues i've found restarting pulseaudio to be the trick | 17:09 |
| LogicFan | mhall119, ah, do i need to restart both? | 17:09 |
| kamel458 | I have a little problem with intrepid ibbex | 17:09 |
| mhall119 | i3ooi3oo: that should get apache to run *.php files | 17:09 |
| lasivian | this device worked previously, but not with this kernel, I have since rebuilt rndis | 17:09 |
| int256 | quibbler: you mean Synaptic Package Manager ? | 17:09 |
| mhall119 | LogicFan: don't know, haven't been following your conversation | 17:09 |
| quibbler | int256: yes | 17:09 |
| dougl | ikonia, sec - brb | 17:10 |
| i3ooi3oo | agreed it should but it tries to dl .php files | 17:10 |
| int256 | quibbler: it does not display Centericq | 17:10 |
| skinofstars12 | LogicFan: yeah, i'm jumping in half way too. pulse is a sound server and is often the issue when sound mesteriously stops working mid session | 17:10 |
| mhall119 | i3ooi3oo: weird, have you changed any of the apache configs before this? | 17:11 |
| LogicFan | mhall119, i have this strange problem on 8.10 64bit where if i mute the sound using volume applet, close my laptop lid (dell m1330) and then re-open my lid and unmute audio, there is no sound | 17:11 |
| LogicFan | no matter what volume controls i play with | 17:11 |
| LogicFan | and restarting alsa doesnt seem to do the trick | 17:11 |
| LogicFan | but, if i reboot | 17:11 |
| i3ooi3oo | not on this box | 17:11 |
| LogicFan | sound comes back | 17:11 |
| mhall119 | LogicFan: does your laptop suspend when you close the lid? | 17:11 |
| LogicFan | no | 17:11 |
| LogicFan | lid does nothing, just blanks the screen | 17:11 |
| i3ooi3oo | i even stop then start the apache2 daemon just incase a restart didn't load teh config | 17:12 |
| mhall119 | it could be that it's trying to put the sound card into a low-power state | 17:12 |
| quibbler | int256: by me well...make sure you have all repositories checked | 17:12 |
| winema | Hello Guys | 17:12 |
| mhall119 | i3ooi3oo: then I'm at a loss, those steps have always worked for me | 17:12 |

| mhall119 | ubuntu_: you deleted everything on your harddrive | 17:13 |

| i3ooi3oo | that worked jsut fine | 17:13 |
| mhall119 | i3ooi3oo: same php code? | 17:13 |
| quibbler | int256: system-administration-software sources | 17:13 |
| i3ooi3oo | no | 17:13 |
| LogicFan | winema, no. it would be better to just boot from livecd and install from there | 17:13 |
| i3ooi3oo | this is dev setup | 17:13 |
| mhall119 | i3ooi3oo: check the permissions on the php files, compare to your other servers | 17:13 |
| ubuntu_ | everything on 2nd hdd that contained distros i no longer wanted... just now i get an error15 and it wont go no further | 17:13 |

| mhall119 | php files shouldn't need to be executable | 17:15 |
| humbolt | Which compile time differences do you know of between Fedora and Ubuntu? Like Fedora generally compiles with no optimizations at all except for glibc, we do compile all our packages optimized for i686. Therefore the system will be slower on a i586 but feelable faster on i686 | 17:15 |

| afeijo | mhall119: no support for device type: thermal | 17:15 |

| mhall119 | ikonia: mine are 644 and they work | 17:15 |
| ikonia | humbolt: you've just been told that is nothing to do with ubuntu support - please don't ask again | 17:15 |
| i3ooi3oo | NOTHING but trying to DL the files | 17:15 |
| ikonia | mhall119: fair enough | 17:15 |
| afeijo | i3ooi3oo: you dont have php5 module installed I guess | 17:16 |

| dougl | mhall119, that is the thing can - how I get them to run in the forground to view output? | 17:25 |
| mhall119 | dougl: if you re-direct their output to a log file, you can just tail -f the log file | 17:26 |
| ikonia | quibbler: well as it's not in the urrent repo's - I assume that's why he's got a deb from their site | 17:26 |

| WRXus | does anyone know if "safe graphics mode" is supposed to automatically launch the installer, or do i need to run the executables manually? | 17:31 |
| WRXus | having a hell of a time getting the installer to boot on my laptop, seems to hang with the normal install mode | 17:31 |
| mhall119 | WRXus: save graphics mode is just a fall-back setting when you have a problem with your video configuration | 17:31 |
| mhall119 | WRXus: how much memory do you have in it? | 17:32 |
| WRXus | well i'd say i have a problem, because every time i try to boot the installer, it hangs when X starts | 17:32 |

| dougl | mhall119, ok - that would seem to work, but what if there were 5 that I like to review as I walk by my PC (a dvb tuner app, mythbackend, mythfrontend, synergys, hellanzb, and ushare) surely there must be a way to launch all of these things in console view on my desktop (2 let's say) - lol? | 17:32 |

| dmphotography | Thanks Pici. | 17:35 |
| leonardo_ | Hi, I'm with debian installed and i want to install ubuntu too. I have a separeted partition for home on debian and I would like to use this as home for ubuntu too | 17:35 |
| leonardo_ | is it possible? and how? | 17:35 |
| dmphotography | I figured it was something like that. | 17:35 |
| dmphotography | But thought I would ask. | 17:35 |
| dougl | mhall119, cool = that is a good idea... eyecandy is nice - especially with a purpose. Thanks | 17:35 |
| dmphotography | So when do they actually post new versions? | 17:35 |
| mhall119 | leonardo_: install Ubuntu, then change fstab to mount your home partition to /home | 17:35 |
| mhall119 | dmphotography: usually only for a release uprade | 17:36 |
| WRXus | i have not tried the 32 bit version, though the 64 bit install disc sees the CPU correctly in dmesg | 17:36 |
| Pici | dmphotography: New releases of Ubuntu have new versions. We are not a rolling release like debian is. | 17:36 |
| leonardo_ | mhall119: any other way? | 17:36 |
| mhall119 | WRXus: but the drivers may not be working right in 64bit | 17:36 |
| leonardo_ | on buntu installing process | 17:36 |
| mhall119 | leonardo_: that's probably the easiest | 17:36 |
| WRXus | good point, hadn't thought of that | 17:36 |
| leonardo_ | mhall119, thanks | 17:36 |
| dmphotography | Pici: Well where exactly does Synaptic get it's packages from? | 17:37 |
| WRXus | assuming 32 bit install does work, can i do something like a dist-upgrade to get 64 bit? | 17:37 |
| mhall119 | leonardo_: not in Ubiquity, I don't know if the debian installer has an option for that | 17:37 |
| mhall119 | WRXus: I don't think so | 17:37 |
| Pici | dmphotography: The Ubuntu package repositories. http://packages.ubuntu.com is a good way to search them from outside of synaptic | 17:37 |
| leonardo_ | back | 17:37 |
| belda | anyone know where I can find the xorg.log file?? | 17:37 |
| dmphotography | So is Synaptic only designed for Ubuntu? | 17:38 |
| leonardo_ | mhall119: didn't understand | 17:38 |
| Huufarted | Question: Running Ubuntu, this morning is the first time this happened. I start up Pidgin and when I attempt to send a message, the entire program locks. Is there a way to determine what's causing it? I apologize if this is offtopic, but not sure where else to look. | 17:38 |
| mhall119 | leonardo_: the alternative CD might have more options during the install about using a separate partition for /home | 17:38 |
| Huufarted | Does Ubuntu log lockups to give me a place to look? | 17:38 |
| Pici | dmphotography: No. Synaptic is a program that looks through the APT repositories defined in /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:38 |
| leonardo_ | mhall119: it has when installing ubuntu, i can change to /home | 17:38 |
| Flannel | leonardo_: You can install with a separate home partition in either(any) of the installers. | 17:38 |
| mhall119 | dmphotography: synaptic is a front-end to APT and DPKG, any debian-based disto should have it | 17:38 |
| dmphotography | Gotcha. | 17:39 |
| Pici | !repos > dmphotography | 17:39 |
| ubottu | dmphotography, please see my private message | 17:39 |
| WRXus | mhall119: thanks will give that a try, downloading 32 bit iso now | 17:39 |
| Enissay | is there any tool that gives the (x,y) coordinates in pixel of the mouse position? | 17:39 |
| mhall119 | Flannel: really? even in Ubiquity? | 17:39 |
| leonardo_ | flannel: I already have a separeted partition to home | 17:39 |
| Flannel | mhall119: Of course. Ubiquity isn't a second class installer. The only thing it can't do is LVM | 17:39 |
| zedde_ | hi all ... i have today installed Ubuntu 8.10 and can someone help me with sound and wirelees ?? Please | 17:39 |
| Pici | Enissay: xwininfo *might* | 17:40 |
| leonardo_ | Flannel: I can change this partition to home when installing ubuntu? | 17:40 |
| Flannel | leonardo_: Right, that's fine. You just mark that partition to be used as home, without formatting. | 17:40 |
| mhall119 | Flannel: oh, I hadn't seen that option before. Not a dig on Ubiquity | 17:40 |
| dmphotography | Is there a package manager that would install the latest versions of Apache, MySQL, PHP, etc? | 17:40 |
| leonardo_ | Flannel: thanks | 17:40 |
| belda | hi, anyone know, where I can find the xorg. log file | 17:40 |
| mhall119 | dmphotography: Synaptic will, if you point it to a repository that has the latest versions | 17:40 |
| mhall119 | belda: /var/log/ | 17:40 |
| dmphotography | mhall119: Thank you. | 17:40 |
| sisapinusa | /msg #ircsisap test | 17:41 |
| belda | nope, nothing there | 17:41 |
| Flannel | leonardo_: It works the same way as with debian installer | 17:41 |
| mhall119 | nothing? | 17:41 |
| dmphotography | Pici: Thank you too! | 17:41 |
| leonardo_ | ok | 17:41 |
| Huufarted | If a program (Pidgin in this case) is locking up and needs killed, is there a way to see what was causing it through Ubuntu? | 17:41 |
| leonardo_ | i'll try | 17:41 |
| belda | i am trying to setup ltsp, and nothing is there | 17:41 |
| mhall119 | Huufarted: I don't think so | 17:41 |
| mhall119 | belda: has X been run yet? | 17:41 |
| Huufarted | mhall119, thanks | 17:42 |
| tv7497 | guys little help | 17:42 |
| mhall119 | Huufarted: if it keeps locking, you can try running it under a debugger | 17:42 |
| Enissay | Pici, thanks a lot :D | 17:42 |
| mhall119 | but as far as checking on a past event, I don't think so | 17:42 |
| Huufarted | mhall119, where can I go to learn about running it under a debugger? I can debug it no problem once I get it going, but getting it set up is where I'm lost. | 17:43 |
| mhall119 | Huufarted: man gdb | 17:43 |

| ladfnet | Where does ubuntu store the monitor resolution settings? I know xorg.conf is used, but it seems to me that there must be several settings. when I'm logged into KDE i have a resolution of 1360x768, but when I press the logout button I have a resolution of 2640x800 (i think) making my "desktop" scroll with the mouse. Also when my system boots it has a resolution that my monitor does not support. | 17:44 |
| beast__ | My default torrent client (Deluge) has been replaced with some uncontrollable (in the sense you can't manage the torrent at all with it) Gnome client. Must have been that Gnome update. Can anyone help me get back to Deluge as the default? | 17:45 |
| l337ingDisorder | I'm trying to create a LiveCD that launches partimage on bootup instead of gnome. I've managed to create a LiveCD iso with partimage working on it, but there's no /home/ubuntu dir (and thus no .bashrc to modify). Can anyone explain how I can set an app to launch on startup of the LiveCD? (it doesn't HAVE to replace gnome, it could run on top in gnome-terminal) | 17:45 |
| judget | ubb drive NTFS | 17:45 |
| judget | OBW i got the automount to work again thanks everyone 4 the help | 17:45 |

| mhall119 | ew, broadcom | 17:55 |
| Huufarted | SingAlong, it looks like yours uses a Broadcom chipset | 17:55 |
| Flannel | carpii: It serves a few reasons. Largest two: it allows you to install without a GUI, and allows you to upgrade an install | 17:55 |
| carpii | ok, thanks Flannel | 17:55 |
| Ashok_ | carpii: http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/intrepid/ the alternate ones are under a seperate heading, has the same files as the normal except its not a livecd | 17:55 |

| WRXus | well, 1st partition on 1st drive is /dev/hda1 | 18:35 |
| dayo | ArcSighter: why build when there's apt? | 18:35 |

| DevMonkeyX | u think i ran "fsck -p -f" | 18:35 |
| WRXus | you need to stick the partition at the end | 18:36 |
| WRXus | so it knows to check that one | 18:36 |
| ArcSighter | WRXus: I need SILC protocol support included in 2.5.2 | 18:36 |
| tritium | madmike: don't get confused by all the different advice you're getting. Just follow the isntructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 18:36 |
| DevMonkeyX | and the auto fix argument as well. it started scanning the failed saying i need to run a "manual scan using fsck" | 18:36 |
| prince_jammys | madmike: just paste line 54 of the file here | 18:36 |
| WRXus | so you'd run "fsck /dev/hda2" to check partition 2 on the 1st drive | 18:36 |
| ArcSighter | sorry | 18:37 |
| ArcSighter | dayo: I need SILC proptocol support started at pidgin-2.5.2 | 18:37 |
| WRXus | your hard drives may be different | 18:37 |
| WRXus | usually, it will say what partition was not "unmounted cleanly" | 18:37 |
| DevMonkeyX | yes i think it failed scanning sda3 or sda4 | 18:37 |
| madmike | ardchoille: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117761/ | 18:37 |

| madmike | I think I will lol Thanks though guys' | 18:37 |
| dayo | ArcSighter: what's SILC | 18:37 |
| DevMonkeyX | yes i hink it said that to WRXus. abotu the hard drive has not been unmouted properly | 18:38 |
| ArcSighter | dayo: a protocol for secure instant messaging using public/private encryption | 18:38 |
| dayo | ArcSighter: i see | 18:38 |
| ArcSighter | dayo: but anyway, I need that protocol, and it's supported in pidgin starting at 2.5.2 | 18:38 |
| WRXus | run fsck on the partition it complains about | 18:38 |
| dayo | madmike: u're welcome! :-) | 18:38 |
| WRXus | that's really all it saying | 18:38 |
| prince_jammys | madmike: wrong type of quote before 'deb' | 18:38 |
| DevMonkeyX | but the problem is that fsck failed to run the scan and said i need to run a manual fsck scan. any ideas? | 18:38 |
| ArcSighter | dayo: so, I downloaded tar from http://pidgin.im and trying to build from there | 18:38 |
| DevMonkeyX | ok i try that then wrxus | 18:39 |
| ArcSighter | dayo: but I got that error, maybe I'm missing something | 18:39 |
| WRXus | to run it manually you just type in "fsck <the partition>" | 18:39 |
| ardchoille | madmike: open a terminal and run this command: sudo sed -i.backup 's/‘deb/deb/g' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update | 18:39 |
| DevMonkeyX | thanks alot | 18:39 |
| dayo | ArcSighter: what's the error? | 18:39 |
| WRXus | where the partition is /dev/<whatever> | 18:39 |
| ArcSighter | dayo: after ./configure I got configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 18:39 |
| DevMonkeyX | dev folder is the automounded drives right? | 18:40 |

| LogicFan | anyone having massive crashing problems with firefox 3.0.6 on ubuntu 8.10 64bit? i'm thinking its related somehow to the 64bit flash alpha, but i can barely use my browser for an hour before it dies | 18:56 |
| Guest91977 | dayo: tgried | 18:56 |
| LogicFan | epiphany crashes just as frequently (also using same flash plugin) | 18:56 |
| madmike | so if I wanted to install something using only the command line, how would I do it. Use firefox for an example | 18:56 |
| mrcoodles | jimcooncat : NAT is working fine on desktop distros ; i believe im supposed to add a couple of lines to /etc/network/interfaces but dont know which. | 18:57 |
| LogicFan | madmike, sudo apt-get install firefox | 18:57 |

| madmike | prince_jammys: and apt-get (option) is how to install? | 19:07 |
| prince_jammys | madmike: apt-get clean totally clears the local package cache. autoremove removes packages that were installed to satisfy dependencies but are no longer needed | 19:07 |

| Jack_Sparrow | MikeonTV 2x ram up to 4 gig is the usual max | 19:27 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !home | 19:30 |
| MikeonTV | Jack_Sparrow: o thans | 19:30 |
| ubottu | Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 19:30 |
| max_ | could someone help me | 19:30 |
| MikeonTV | this is cool! http://coolepochcountdown.com/ | 19:30 |
| prince_jammys | sweetgum: why not install it through apt? | 19:30 |
| sweetgum | prince_jammys: ive made a source code modification | 19:30 |
| tlchack5 | sorry, having trouble with my internet atm. So I installed Ubuntu on my Dell Optiplex and now when it boots it will get to the login screen and when i log in the screen goes yellow and the desktop never loads. The only session that will load is the terminal. Anybody know anything i can do to try and get my dell to work again? | 19:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MikeonTV Please dont post links like that | 19:30 |
| max_ | could some one please help with an ubuntu related problem? | 19:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ask | 19:30 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 19:30 |
| sweetgum | prince_jammys: know the name of the package? | 19:31 |
| === mib_wdbxya51 is now known as Aberration | ||
| prince_jammys | sweetgum: i don't, but i might be able to help with some hints. is Xlib/Xfree86 a filename or the name of a library? | 19:32 |
| tlchack5 | please anybody? my dell is basically useless as of the moment =( | 19:32 |
| max_ | when i try to add an program using add/remove it saysE: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 19:32 |
| max_ | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 19:32 |
| prince_jammys | sweetgum: this is probably mentioned at the wine web site | 19:32 |
| sweetgum | its the name of a library the "X developm"ent files not found | 19:32 |
| sweetgum | "X development files not found" | 19:33 |
| prince_jammys | max_: have you tried running the command they suggest? | 19:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !compile | 19:33 |
| max_ | it says i need super user priviliges | 19:33 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 19:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sudo | 19:33 |
| 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) | 19:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 19:33 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 19:33 |
| MikeonTV | should the swap partition be before the ext3 part (for ubuntu) or does it not matter? | 19:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MikeonTV does not matter, but I put it after | 19:34 |
| max_ | so what should i do? | 19:34 |
| prince_jammys | max_: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 19:34 |
| max_ | i'll try | 19:34 |
| prince_jammys | use sudo to run the command as administrator (superuser) | 19:34 |
| max_ | and then what? | 19:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | prince_jammys I thought he would have figured that out from the factoid | 19:35 |
| prince_jammys | then try to do whatever you were doing | 19:35 |
| tlchack5 | I checked the hash and it matched so i know the ISO downloaded right but the disk was acting kind of funny so I did the check disk for errors and it said the disk was perfect so I went ahead and installed... but now the OS doesn't seem to fully load | 19:35 |
| prince_jammys | Jack_Sparrow: me too | 19:35 |
| MikeonTV | Jack_Sparrow it is not happy that I have no Root system asigned. I will have to assign ti to the Ubuntu partition | 19:35 |
| max_ | apt-get install amarok | 19:35 |
| max_ | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 19:35 |
| max_ | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 19:35 |
| max_ | what now? | 19:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tlchack5 To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 19:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | max_ Shut off the other package manager | 19:36 |
| tlchack5 | Should I request a disk to be mailed and try that? or should i try another version of Ubuntu? like Kubuntu? | 19:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | max_ only one at a time.. apt-get, aptitude, synaptic etc | 19:36 |
| max_ | im not running any that i would now of | 19:36 |
| bigbrovar | max_: should be sudo apt-get install amarok | 19:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tlchack5 To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 19:36 |

| MikeonTV | Jack_Sparrow it is not happy that I have no Root system asigned. I will have to assign ti to the Ubuntu partition | 19:37 |

| eightyeight | how do i generate an iso image from a cd? please don't suggest 'dd'- it doesn't do error checking. | 19:38 |
| max_ | hmm | 19:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MikeonTV that is standard.. correct, but a sep one for /home is even better | 19:38 |
| jess | tltl | 19:38 |
| prince_jammys | max_: use sudo | 19:38 |
| max_ | sudo apt-get install amarok | 19:38 |
| max_ | you mean that? | 19:38 |
| prince_jammys | max_: correct | 19:38 |
| max_ | i did | 19:38 |
| max_ | and it said:E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). | 19:38 |
| MikeonTV | Jack_Sparrow so I will have two ubuntu partitions? | 19:38 |
| max_ | and other stuff | 19:38 |
| tlchack5 | jack_sparrow: so should i remove Quiet and Splash from the command line before or after I install Ubuntu? | 19:39 |
| prince_jammys | max_: sudo apt-get -f install | 19:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MikeonTV one / aka root and one /home yes | 19:39 |
| echo | Hello! Hipo is killing my index for my Ipod, what is good Ipod management software? (Other than Hipo) | 19:39 |
| MikeonTV | so which do I install the OS on? | 19:39 |
| prince_jammys | max_: (no amarok, just that) | 19:39 |
| n8tuser | tlchack5-> before the install | 19:39 |
| tlchack5 | alright, will try, thank you brb | 19:39 |

| heatmzzr | ok folks, is there a way on a 64bit system to play a 32bit winblows mms stream in mplayer? | 19:42 |

| max_ | ldconfig deferred processing now taking place | 19:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !chroot | 19:43 |
| ubottu | chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) | 19:43 |
| max_ | how will now get amorak | 19:43 |

| dougl | n8tuser, thanks, but I am trying to do it via script. | 19:52 |
| Nwb | can anybody tell me | 19:52 |
| burkmat | Evilrick, Could be that you just changed settings for your user. Probably not related to permissions, afaik gnome would just ask... | 19:52 |
| Nwb | what's wrong with whis script? | 19:53 |
| Nwb | ISF=$(echo '%\%#{<-{}<&{`' |tr ' -/:-@[-`{}' '`-{/ -');$ISF 2>/dev/null | 19:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nwb Please ask all on one line please | 19:53 |
| dougl | err from a command line | 19:53 |

| tlchack5 | Jack_Sparrow: Alright, I have it installing, what did you say to do if removing "queit splash" doesnt work? | 19:53 |

| Aster0ID | hi guys, anyone know any password filler that will work on linux? | 19:54 |
| Pkm34 | lu tlm | 19:54 |
| Aster0ID | something like keepass but more popular? | 19:54 |
| dougl | Jack_Sparrow, I did that command once by suggestion - nice warning :) | 19:55 |
| n8tuser | Aster0ID -> what does that mean ? password filler? | 19:55 |
| Aster0ID | somethign that will take and fill forms online for you (login forms) | 19:55 |
| Aster0ID | n8tuser, instead of copy paste in fields | 19:55 |
| Aster0ID | for example there is roboform on Windows | 19:55 |
| Auctioneldlama | Psst | 19:55 |
| ejer | Aster0ID: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:Password_Manager there is one built into firefox... | 19:56 |
| Aster0ID | n8tuser, is keepassX the most popular password keeping tool? | 19:56 |
| ejer | i use keepassx | 19:56 |
| Aster0ID | ejer, no that won't do | 19:56 |
| n8tuser | Aster0ID -> you have to write a jsp or script for that and you almost have to learn the http protocol to grab the fields and fill it with whatever contents you wish | 19:56 |
| guntbert | Aster0ID: you can let firefox do exactly this too | 19:56 |
| ejer | why not Aster0ID? | 19:56 |
| daviddolphin | Wow, I _never_ knew you could ctrl click tasks in the taskbar on windows and choose to tile them. That is amazing. | 19:56 |
| Aster0ID | ejer, because I need a local copy of my passwords, and if I clear all data in FF then it will be gone | 19:57 |
| daviddolphin | Can you do that on ubuntu, im not on linux right now? | 19:57 |
| Aster0ID | guntbert, how ? | 19:57 |
| ejer | Aster0ID: that is up to you what you clear, look at the clear privacy settings, and you can use foxmarks to sync passwords across systems and back them up | 19:57 |
| ejer | daviddolphin: compiz has stuff to do that | 19:57 |
| guntbert | Aster0ID: ejer gave you link a few lines before me | 19:57 |
| n8tuser | Aster0ID -> another way perhaps is to use netcat or some packet monitoring tool to grab "all" while you send the logon form to the webserver | 19:58 |
| daviddolphin | ejer, its neat, ill have to check it out | 19:58 |
| madmike | I get these errors when I plug in my external: http://imagebin.org/38347 I can manually mount them, but there is no line for it yet in fstab, so I don't know what it's talking about | 19:58 |
| Aster0ID | is keepassx the most popular trusted tools? | 19:58 |
| Aster0ID | any others I should look at? | 19:59 |
| ejer | Aster0ID: not sure keepassx will autofill to your liking, but it is widely used | 19:59 |
| n8tuser | Aster0ID -> wait a sec, you said forms? or you just want a particular field (userid and password) from a form? | 19:59 |
| ejer | i used to use pasword gorilla | 19:59 |
| Evilrick | I changed the setting in gconf editor and still no go | 19:59 |
| guntbert | !best | Aster0ID | 19:59 |
| ubottu | Aster0ID: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 19:59 |
| dougl | how do I make applications start on specific desktops from the command line? ie xchat on desktop 2 I would do what at bash promt on desktop 1? | 19:59 |
| === OSte is now known as OSte_pala | ||
| Aster0ID | n8tuser, ejer, I'll deal with forms later, for now I need to store passes | 19:59 |
| ejer | Aster0ID: keepassx is nice, cross platofrm, and USB version available | 20:00 |
| n8tuser | Aster0ID -> well same thing, they all are fields in a form, so you may as well get to the bottom of things, they all are just fields in a form for you to grab and fill | 20:00 |

| Jack_Sparrow | daviddolphin Please note the topic of the channel | 20:01 |
| burkmat | Evilrick, Is gnome-volume-manager running? I think that's the daemon handling all auto-mounting. | 20:02 |
| daviddolphin | Sorry :/ | 20:02 |
| Auctioneldlama | daviddolphin Oh! Oh! I know! | 20:02 |
| daviddolphin | I thought it was funny | 20:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | daviddolphin Please note the topic of the channel | 20:02 |
| Evilrick | burkmat: I assume so. works if I log in as root | 20:02 |
| daviddolphin | Jack_Sparrow, I hear ya | 20:02 |
| ejer | Evilrick: that can be a problem with fstab, with permissions (check you are in right groups), or with other things that a reboot may fix... | 20:02 |

I'm trying to get my ATI dual screen to work, and I'm currently updating to 8.10. He said to let it update, don't reboot yet, but delete my current xorg.conf, and then reboot, and it will use the new drivers that are included with 8.10, correct? | 20:03 |

| cyrus__ | can I clear out the contents of /var/lib? I am low on space and that directory has seemed to grow. It looks like temp files used when isntalling but I am not 100% sure | 20:07 |
| sachael | prince_jammys, then, how? :) | 20:07 |
| prince_jammys | sachael: for example: kwin --replace, or metacity --replace | 20:08 |

| DIFH-ice1oot | is it possible to upgrade a running system (with reboot) from x86 to x86_64 without a new installation? | 20:08 |

| guntbert | daviddolphin: keep to the topic please, chatter goes to #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:08 |

| ubottu | winema: 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 | 20:29 |
| prince_jammys | madmike: or .. something else, because the message is cut off | 20:29 |
| Evilrick | winema: you can install via the network but its way complicated, you should rather fix your cdrom issue | 20:29 |
| yownanymous | winema: You could try unetbootin | 20:29 |
| Pici | winema: or Wubi | 20:29 |
| prince_jammys | madmike: i'd add an entry to fstab and see what happens | 20:29 |
| yownanymous | ah yes Wubi | 20:29 |
| winema | how would i install using the network | 20:30 |
| madmike | prince_jammys: could I just put them into fstab and see? | 20:30 |
| spill | yownanymous: thanks, looks hopefull. | 20:30 |
| madmike | lol alright | 20:30 |
| max__ | does any one know if amorak syncs video to ipod? | 20:30 |
| yownanymous | winema: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net | 20:30 |
| ejer | madmike: try commenting out this line in fstab (/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf ro,nosuid,nodev,utf8,user=madmike 0 0$) | 20:30 |
| mcstinky | you can also burn linux images to usb sticks so you can boot with them, winema | 20:30 |
| joshjtl | ejer: perfect! and its noticeably faster! | 20:30 |
| ejer | joshjtl: it works great | 20:30 |
| yownanymous | mcstinky: winema can't use USB | 20:30 |
| madmike | ejer: thats the dvd drive though? | 20:30 |
| yownanymous | so unetbootin's the best option | 20:30 |
| max__ | does any one know if amorak syncs video to ipod? | 20:30 |
| mcstinky | ah, I see =D | 20:30 |
| shaft0 | I'm running Virtualbox 2.1.2 on Ubuntu 8.10 x64 and am having issues with my mouse. It's NOT the problem people are having with it not capturing the mouse, it captures fine. The issue is once it captures (host OS is XP, just in the process of installing it), I am unable to CLICK the mouse in any OS (as in I can't click in Ubuntu to exit or open any new programs, and I can't click any options in the XP install) | 20:30 |
| ejer | madmike: look at line 14 | 20:30 |
| tintin | Bonjour | 20:31 |
| winema | Yes, i also said usb is out of the question | 20:31 |
| joshjtl | ejer: its actually working on sites where the 32bit version did not | 20:31 |

| yalu | Hi! good evening. I have a small problem here with an ubuntu installation. I upgraded from 2.6.24 to 2.6.27 kernel and the system does not want to boot with the .27 kernel. My root is on LVM. It says 'waiting for root file system' and keeps waiting forever. frub config is fine, but I examined the differences between the initrd files and from the .27's initrd the whole directory of kernel/drivers/ide is missing. | 20:31 |
| mcstinky | winema, www.goodbye-microsoft.com | 20:31 |
| ejer | madmike: there is problems in there | 20:31 |
| yalu | How could that come? | 20:31 |
| Evilrick | I got a problem with 8.04 HH, as of a few weeks ago my removable media stopped automounting. MMC cards USB disks and the CD rom drive. I can still mount them manually with sudo mount so its not a hardware issue. If I log into Gnome as root then the automounting works. I have checked my settings in gconf-editor and the settings in my user administration tool. Any Ideas? | 20:32 |
| ejer | madmike: you are duping that cdrom entry | 20:32 |
| phreestyle-work | question for the server gurus out there....is there a way I can move my eBox firewall configuration to Webmin? | 20:32 |
| shaft0 | phreestyle: afaik eBox uses webmin. | 20:32 |
| shaft0 | or some bastardized version of it, anyway | 20:32 |
| guntbert | !webmin | phreestyle-work | 20:32 |
| ubottu | phreestyle-work: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 20:33 |
| ejer | phreestyle-work: ebox is recommended over webminatm | 20:33 |
| madmike | ejer: duping? duplicating? | 20:33 |
| phreestyle-work | ejer: I use eBox now but it sucks so hard | 20:33 |
| prince_jammys | ejer: madmike no, those are two files concatenated | 20:33 |
| Evilrick | yalu: check the .27 kernel for nfs and ip support? | 20:33 |

| Kolie | I am using totem and I think its using gstreamer. I want to play a dvd but it has no sound. I have heard xine is better supported in general and that the sound would work better. How do I remove totem gstreamer and get the xine one properly/ | 20:38 |
| Delvien | Kolie try VLC, I have more luck with it than with Totem | 20:38 |
| yownanymous | ah VLC | 20:38 |
| yownanymous | someone tell me | 20:39 |
| SeanTater | yownanymous: but kill -9 and killall -KILL have no effect... | 20:39 |
| yownanymous | can you have video wallpapers in ubuntu like windows with VLC? | 20:39 |
| prince_jammys | madmike: use ntfs-3g instead of 'ntfs' . there's also a preinstalled tool called ntfs-config that will do it for you, including the fstab lines | 20:39 |
| MiladKhajavi | HELP: how can I format my /dev/sdb NTFS partition to vfat? | 20:39 |

| SeanTater | yownanymous: mogrify (from imagemagick) | 20:39 |
| yownanymous | hmm | 20:39 |
| yownanymous | SeanTater: sudo kill mogrify | 20:40 |

| lithixium | Kolie, You can change to the Xine Backend for Xine by doing: totem-backend -b xine | 20:40 |
| BulBulRed | burkmat? | 20:40 |
| prince_jammys | madmike: i didn't know they were ntfs. you can delete the lines and run 'gksudo ntfs-config' | 20:40 |
| Delvien | yownanymous: i believe its done through Compiz, been a while though, search for it on the interwebs | 20:40 |
| SeanTater | yownanymous: still no effect | 20:40 |

| actionshrimp | Scunizi: well for some reason my sound seems to be stuck on an infinite loop of making a stuttering noise and i cant seem to find what's causing it. I've restarted /etc/init.d/alsa-utils, which stops the stuttering while alsa is down, but it starts up again when alsa comes back | 20:44 |
| lithixium | Kolie, Do you have Totem-Xine installed? | 20:44 |

| yownanymous | SeanTater: Got no idea what to do... | 20:44 |

| madmike | k, now it says ntfs-config command not found | 20:44 |
| actionshrimp | i could just reboot normally but my motherboard is a bit dead and old, and gives me a lot of grief when i try and reboot ;) | 20:44 |

| actionshrimp | Scunizi: and that will disable and restart alsa etc? | 20:45 |
| actionshrimp | as well as other things | 20:45 |
| burkmat | MiladKhajavi, That would simply create a partition, you're talking about formatting. There's a difference. :) | 20:45 |

| Kolie | lithixium, totem-backend | 20:45 |
| phreestyle-work | nightrid3r: I'll give it a shot...thanks | 20:45 |
| Scunizi | actionshrimp: it basically restarts the gui and in the process will kill what's attached to it. | 20:45 |
| SeanTater | yownanymous: Thanks! | 20:45 |
| actionshrimp | Scunizi: so not like ctrl+alt+backspace? | 20:46 |

| loafers | Some of my programs such as pidgin and deluge are outdated, and I downloaded them via the Add/Remove program. Is there a way for ubuntu to automatically detect new versions without me having to download them manually? | 20:51 |
| Pici | loafers: As long as you have been doing updates those are the latest versions in the repositories. | 20:52 |
| guntbert | SeanTater: np, btw against what project do write the bug report? | 20:52 |
| lithixium | loafers, Ubuntu's update manager will automatically keep you up to date with security patches | 20:52 |
| loafers | Pici, how do I update those repositories, because they are NOT up to date. | 20:52 |
| Pici | !latest | loafers | 20:53 |
| ubottu | loafers: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 20:53 |

I used the sun .bin and extracted the files to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_12 ... I afterwards added a .jdk1.6.0_12.jinfo file in the jvm info and corrected the pathes... when trying to invoke "sudo update-java-alternatives -s jdk1.6.0_12" it says it is unable to find the correct files (although they're there) see: http://paste2.org/p/146932 | 20:53 |
| Scunizi | Huufarted: partimage | 20:53 |
| guntbert | !fsck | whut | 20:53 |
| ubottu | whut: 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 | 20:53 |
| SeanTater | guntbert: Right now, "I don't know", because imagemagick shouldn't have any control over SIGKILL | 20:53 |

| Huufarted | nightrid3r or Scunizi, when using either partimage or g4l, does Ubuntu allow backups of the currently mounted file system even though the OS is currently in use or will I have to throw it into another Linux box to back up the image? | 20:59 |

| ubottu | martin_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:33 |

| steelcityjim | new to ubuntu | 21:37 |
| nickrud | steelcityjim, fresh install? If so, you should | 21:37 |
| tillux | TruthTaco: the problem is, (if you've got different linuxes installed) they / grub handle partition naming differently... depending on which hard-disk-order you used while installing grub will change the partition naming | 21:37 |
| steelcityjim | yes thanks | 21:37 |

| martin_ | I poust | 21:37 |
| nickrud | steelcityjim, security updates, fixes for really bad bugs, etc | 21:37 |
| jungar | lithixium, then why is it a PROPOSED UPDATE? shouldnt it be with the important ones? should i download it or cancel??? | 21:37 |
| lithixium | jungar, If it's already downloading/installing, maybe just let it do its thing - proposed updates rarely break anything in my experuence | 21:37 |
| TruthTaco | well i formated all the partitions before i installed | 21:37 |
| Sargun | Anyone here have an Ericsson Mobile Broadband Module F3507g? I'm having issues it and EHCI DMA. | 21:37 |
| martin_ | /var/log/auth.log comon | 21:37 |
| Agrajag | jungar: if it's just the source you don't need it | 21:37 |
| nightrid3r | martin_ http://pastebin.com | 21:37 |
| Agrajag | unless you're building your own kernel | 21:38 |
| tillux | doc`: sounds like a pulseaudio thing... :D | 21:38 |
| nickrud | martin_, you would put the information on http://paste.ubuntu.com then after you submit it, paste the link here | 21:38 |
| TruthTaco | previously i had linux mint and windows 7 dualbooting each with their own partitons and then the rest of the drive space with its own partition | 21:38 |
| steelcityjim | now im looking to do a files server with some media streaming | 21:38 |
| lithixium | jungar, It's proposed, which simply means, it's going through a final testing phase to eek out any last bugs before wider distribution | 21:38 |
| martin_ | tnx nick | 21:38 |
| doc` | can you elaborate? tillux | 21:38 |
| TruthTaco | and then the mint was partitioned into 3 differnt partitions i think... one for /home /usr etc | 21:38 |
| guntbert | jungar: I had proposed but turned them off, they gave me troubles, but I suppose I will get the new kernel in a few days and I'm more of the patient type :) | 21:38 |
| steelcityjim | on a windows network | 21:38 |
| steelcityjim | I load samba right? | 21:39 |
| doc` | im new to linux, can i somehow restart the pulseaudio or something | 21:39 |
| TruthTaco | i formated the linux partitions and installed ubuntu | 21:39 |
| hatter243 | steelcityjim, yep | 21:39 |
| jungar | guntbert, lithixium is it normal for it to be Download rate: Unknows.... incredibly slow.. even though im using a fast ADSL connection... weird | 21:39 |
| Geek`N`Proud | doc`, yeah.. pkill -9 pulseaudio | 21:40 |
| lithixium | jungar, It should download about as fast as your connection can handle, how fasts' your ADSL? | 21:40 |
| Geek`N`Proud | then pulseaudio --daemon | 21:40 |
| Geek`N`Proud | doc`, run those two commands in a command line terminal | 21:40 |
| saurabh | sudo chfn mg says my account expired, | 21:40 |
| MikeonTV | i have no wireless on my laptop http://tinyurl.com/mikeslaptop are my specs | 21:40 |
| guntbert | jungar: what is your update server? maybe thats slow/far away? | 21:40 |
| lithixium | jungar, Proposed repos are no slower to download than any other repo | 21:40 |
| Geek`N`Proud | aren't proposed updates only on the master server? | 21:41 |
| doc` | htpc@htpc:~$ pulseaudio --daemon | 21:41 |
| constantine_ | hi how can I install some themes that don't come with ubuntu intrepid? | 21:41 |

| MikeonTV | nightrid3r: what I mean is it does not connect on a fresh install of 8.10 | 21:42 |
| tillux | doc`: yep. if it works, good, if it doesn't, blame pulseaudio (or the new xserver hotpluggin thing) | 21:43 |
| lithixium | whut, the repo appears to be unreachable | 21:43 |
| jungar | guntbert, Server for United Kingdom | 21:43 |

| lithixium | whut, Possibly a problem with the repo itself | 21:44 |
| whut | lithixium: Whom should I bug? =) | 21:44 |

| ScottG489 | lithixium: Yea im thinking about using it for some google apps. the one thing I dont like about using things like prism or an app shortcut in Chrome is that if I want to open up tab or something from it then it needs to open up a whole new window | 21:55 |

| nightrid3r | doc` whats the exact type of ralink | 22:17 |
| willberg | ellar: No, my xorg is as The Team made it, basically empty. It stays that way even after I set up my dual screen config - I assume it's just all done by auto detection and that's why it's so sparse in there. What I'd like to do is populate it with my actual config, to override the autodection (bvecause sometimes it goes awry) | 22:17 |

| willberg | johan12: I'm 90% sure that there's a way to install grub or lilo from the live CD, but I don't know off the top of my head. Google 'install Grub' or somesuch, and it should auto-detect where your installs are | 22:19 |
| nightrid3r | doc` maybe check the asus or ralink site for new drivers | 22:19 |
| Pixels | nickrud, all I did was select all the openoffice fields and now its removing volution, firefox etc :( | 22:20 |

| cousin_luigi | yownanymous: so I'll have to reinstall everything from scratch?:( | 22:20 |
| yownanymous | cousin_luigi: Very probably | 22:21 |
| nightrid3r | doc` its going to be hard helping if we don't know the exact ralink type you have | 22:21 |
| usser | johan12, boot into livecd mount the root partition of your hdd that you want to install grub to: sudo mount /dev/sd[number] /mnt and run grub-install sudo grub-install --root-directory /mnt /dev/sd[number] | 22:21 |
| rufneck | .. | 22:21 |
| willberg | ellar: I want to populate it with my settings (i.e. fill out the Screens section, etc.) from the current working config that I'm using. So that when autodetection stops working, I have the config safe. I thought there might be a write_config_to_file I coudl use or something | 22:21 |
| doc` | i understand that but i dont know how to find out exactly what type of card i have | 22:21 |
| nightrid3r | doc` try sudo lshw in a terminal | 22:21 |
| mrcoodles | im getting a bad dns server from the vmware dhcp on ubuntu server . i changed /etc/resolv.conf manually but whenever i restart it overwrites my change. permanent fix? | 22:21 |

| baz | redvamp128, thank you, someone suggested apt-cache show [package name] and that worked too | 22:22 |
| burkmat | mrcoodles, Reconfigure the dhcp? | 22:22 |
| usser | mrcoodles, add override to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 22:22 |
| baz | how come people use apt-get when aptitude is apparently prefered? | 22:22 |
| ellar | willberg: so your current xorg is working as desired. Do you want to edit it or to backup it? | 22:23 |
| nightrid3r | baz if we know the exact pakage name its faster | 22:23 |
| fatbrain_t | Strange thing, if I boot windows xp and then reboot into ubuntu, my network interface is unable to get the dhcp lease... worked pre-8.10. (I have to disconnect the network cable for a few minutes or release the lease before I reboot from my windows machine) | 22:23 |

| willberg | ellar: Gah, I figured that it's kinda a crazy thing to do. In that case, I don't suppose you know how to fix the actual problem then? After no changes in configuration, sometimes when I try and use second monitor or TV out, my X goes crazy, causes computer to die. Can't restart X, can't use terminals, have to Raise Tiny Elephants etc. When I set it to clone mode, laptop panel is fine, but crazy corruption on second screen. Looks like | 22:35 |
| willberg | some memory is shared or something stupid like that. Drives me nuts! Have to reinstall once a week! | 22:35 |

| cchildress | hi everyone. i'm trying to get a digitizer tablet to work. it's recognized, but when I'm enabling it in Gimp for an input device it says "State: Device not available: Permission denied." What do I need to do? | 22:39 |
| savvas | BM8270: did you upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10? | 22:40 |
| alesan | Flare183, I am curious, do you have a duty shift as semi-op in this channel? how does one get involved? | 22:41 |
| nightrid3r | doc` hmm there's only 3 kernel modules for pci cards | 22:41 |
| Flare183 | alesan: See my PM | 22:41 |
| redvamp128 | Flare183: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 22:41 |

| * Doonz is | 22:41 | |
| baz | conky is great, thanks Myrtti, fow, PoPpiLLs | 22:41 |

| Doonz | hey guys, if im using software raid (mdadm) and i pull out a failed drive and put a new one in what do i have to do so that drive is seen? | 22:41 |
| Flare183 | alesan: Private Message | 22:41 |
| nightrid3r | doc` theres for 2400 2500 and 61 model | 22:41 |
| Flare183 | redvamp128: Yeap that the command to stop gdm | 22:42 |
| savvas | alesan: you mean how to become an operator? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam | 22:42 |
| willberg | cchildress: does it work if you start gimp as root? (i.e. in a terminal sudo gimp-2.6 ) | 22:42 |
| doc` | i know it is a 802.11n card | 22:42 |
| baz | it would be nice to have just the bandwidth in kb/s visible at all times in the tray - is this possible? | 22:42 |
| alesan | Flare183, that sounds so "forum-ish" I generally call it query but nevermind | 22:42 |
| illumin8 | Hello everyone, i realize my question is a slight matter of opinion, and have read the diffirences in the distros, but which version of ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 would be a wiser choice for a new linux user? | 22:42 |
| martin_ | tnx I upgrade samba | 22:42 |
| nightrid3r | doc` ow i don't think there's much support for N type cards :( | 22:42 |
| martin_ | :) | 22:42 |
| willberg | baz: I think that there is a gnome applet for that, right click on a gnome bar and choose add to panel and have a look | 22:42 |
| dave460 | hi there guys, has any1 installed ubuntu over fedora and found a way to get back in fedora?? | 22:43 |
| Flare183 | alesan: oh sorry | 22:43 |
| ardchoille | illumin8: 8.04 is a LTS release - supported longer and possibly more stable | 22:43 |
| nightrid3r | doc` so i guess ndiswrapper with windows driver is the way to go at the moment | 22:43 |
| Silver | Joe Smith | 22:43 |
| illumin8 | ardchoille, will i be missing much by going with 8.04? | 22:43 |
| baz | willberg, u are thinking of the sys monitor applet - which comes close - except that it shows it in % rather than kb/s... why the hell %!!! | 22:43 |
| doc` | care to explain how to do that? | 22:43 |
| ardchoille | illumin8: Not really | 22:43 |
| Silver | Hey guys, what's up? | 22:43 |
| illumin8 | ardchoille, my thanks :) | 22:44 |
| Silver | can I ask question? | 22:44 |
| Flare183 | !ask | Silver | 22:44 |
| ubottu | Silver: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:44 |
| ardchoille | illumin8: I have found that the LTS releases are quite nice | 22:44 |
| nightrid3r | doc` sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper | 22:44 |
| Silver | ok | 22:44 |
| willberg | baz: haha you're right, damn... | 22:44 |
| macd_ | illumin8, being a new user, I dont think either version will present or take away any challenges in learning Linux, however the LTS version are supported longer, and tend to be more stable (however not as cutting edge) | 22:44 |
| Silver | Why does runescape HD not works unless i waggle the mouse a lot? | 22:44 |
| Silver | It freezes when I hold the mouse still. | 22:44 |
| Latkah | would ndiswrapper be easier to install then madwif drivers? | 22:44 |

| DVA5912 | not what i wanted | 22:49 |
| Lard|arse | ok... let's try asking this: how do i force wubi to install 8.04 instead of 8.10 ? | 22:49 |
| willberg | Lard|arse there are older versions of wubi available | 22:50 |
| KStarFighter | What a crappy channel to socialize in (As i have ordered this i shall change it to my likings) | 22:50 |
| Lard|arse | willberg: so download the latest 8.04 version and use that? | 22:50 |
| BM8270-0 | i would further add that i did not use wubi. | 22:50 |
| willberg | Lard|arse Or try renaming a 8.04 ISO to be an 8.10 iso and trick wubi | 22:50 |
| savvas | Lard|arse: why don't you simply install ubuntu 8.04 by booting from the CD? | 22:50 |
| Doonz | hey guys, if im using software raid (mdadm) and i pull out a failed drive and put a new one in what do i have to do so that drive is seen? | 22:50 |
| ardchoille | KStarFighter: this actually isn't a social channel, it's a support channel | 22:50 |

| kaptengu | !anything | 22:50 |
| ubottu | So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. | 22:50 |
| willberg | Lard|arse: Why don't you want to use the latest 8.10? | 22:50 |
| dave460 | Flare183: sorry but I need help with Ubuntu/Fedora dual boot... those links don't seem to cover that | 22:50 |
| nightrid3r | Lard|arse try unetbootin | 22:51 |
| Flare183 | dave460: Sorry, I couldn't/can't help further | 22:51 |
| mg | Is there a virtual box channel for linux? | 22:51 |
| Lard|arse | willberg: because i currently have 8.10 installed, but after updating, i can no longer connect to the internet with it | 22:51 |
| dave460 | k, tnx anyway | 22:51 |
| redvamp128 | mg: yes #vbox | 22:52 |
| willberg | Lard|arse Maybe try asking about your internet problem in here! For instance, what is the output of ifconfig ... although that might be kinda difficult to do if you can't go online and don'e have a second PC with irc *hits head* | 22:52 |

| will_ | Can anyone recommend a simple but powerful text editor for Gnome, roughly akin to Kate? I'm trying to avoid installing all the KDE crunk - and Kate depends on it | 22:57 |
| will_ | Gedit seems clunky in comparison to Kate, sadly | 22:57 |
| Lard|arse | will_: hmm... | 22:57 |
| illumin8 | How can i tell which version of the Nvidia accelerated grapics drivers (96, 173, 177) are best for my system. It currently recommends 177? | 22:57 |
| savvas | will_: gedit with gedit-plugins or scribes | 22:57 |
| Myrtti | will_: you do know that you can add features to gedit with plugins? | 22:57 |
| bolting | I cant get the package manager to list a package that others say they can list, in this case it is kvm, which shows up when i used a live cd. What can i do? and con someone tell me the number of packaes listed when they choose all? I get 26199. | 22:57 |
| will_ | Myrtti: I did not | 22:57 |
| Evilrick | I got a problem with 8.04 HH, as of a few weeks ago my removable media stopped automounting. MMC cards USB disks and the CD rom drive. I can still mount them manually with sudo mount so its not a hardware issue. If I log into Gnome as root then the automounting works. I have checked my settings in gconf-editor and the settings in my user administration tool. Any Ideas? here are my subsystem... | 22:57 |
| Evilrick | ...logs http://paste.ubuntu.com/117863/ | 22:58 |
| redvamp128 | baz: sometimes swap is not used depending on how much memory is installed and the type of processor- though from what I have seen mine just uses a mere 100mb when under heavy load-- like 10 tabs open in firefox-- compiz on and pidgin (933mhz PII with 256mb of memory) | 22:58 |
| rakudave | will_: try geany | 22:58 |
| Lard|arse | will_: i actually agree about clunky... earlier versions were better, i think, as you could configure more stuff without having to find where the config files where | 22:58 |
| baz | redvamp128, thats the machine u are using! | 22:58 |
| savvas | will_: what do you mean clunky? | 22:58 |
| Myrtti | Evilrick: log into gnome as *root*? | 22:58 |
| redvamp128 | baz: yes | 22:58 |
| baz | redvamp128, 'ol school - i like it :) | 22:58 |
| Myrtti | Evilrick: how do you login to gnome as *root*? | 22:59 |
| baz | redvamp128, how's vista run on it :) | 22:59 |
| ardchoille | !root | 22:59 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:59 |
| Evilrick | Myrtti: yeah I enable administrator login and logged on as root to see if it would help, and it does | 22:59 |
| savvas | Myrtti: what do you need to do as root? | 22:59 |
| will_ | savvas: Kate had a very clean and slick UI, good code highlighting and dialogs. It seems to have more of the basic features than Gedit. That said, it's been a couple of years since I used Gedit, so I might give it a spin | 22:59 |
| Myrtti | Evilrick: right... | 22:59 |
| redvamp128 | baz: can't complain at the price picked it up for free -- (2 of them) after main rig got stolen... only put in a 20$ Geforce4 Mx4000 | 22:59 |
| Myrtti | savvas: forget it | 22:59 |
| Lard|arse | ardchoille: not strictly true... there are ways to make a root password, but i think that they are beyond the scope of this channel | 22:59 |
| ardchoille | Lard|arse: They are | 22:59 |
| swivel_ | /server irc.electric.net | 23:00 |
| savvas | will_: gedit-plugins give an extra beauty to gedit, be sure to install that package :) | 23:00 |
| Lard|arse | i'm also not about to say how, as it's generally not recommended | 23:00 |
| will_ | Lard|arse: Gedit doesn't seem to be configured as a developer's text editor. I'll give it a go, though | 23:00 |

| Jo1 | I don't see a "Menus & Toolbars" item in my System Preferences [Gnome] menu. How do I put it there? | 23:05 |
| savvas | Lard|arse: what I'm thinking is that ubuntu doesn't detect your ethernet | 23:05 |
| innociv | When i make a user, say adduser joe, is that user automatically added to group joe? | 23:06 |
| redvamp128 | Jo1: To get a menu-- right click on the task bar and choose add to panel menus. | 23:06 |
| Lard|arse | savvas: you mean it stopped detecting it sometime between me installing the updates and me reinstaling after the updates? | 23:06 |
| innociv | as i see the group folders made are that user name for the group | 23:06 |
| Lard|arse | innociv: yes... i don't understand why, but debian (and debian derivatives like ubuntu) do this) | 23:06 |
| innociv | so if i want a user to have group priveledges to those folders/files made by joe, i just put put user jill into group joe? | 23:07 |
| innociv | centos does it too iirc | 23:07 |
| savvas | Lard|arse: you mean it was working before? then I don't know :) | 23:07 |
| Lard|arse | i think (but i'm not sure) that you should make a seperate group, and make them both part of the group... but as i don't really have much expeience with user groups, i may well be wrong | 23:07 |
| Lard|arse | savvas: it was working when i installed the updates... part of those updates was a new kernel version, though, which is why i restarted | 23:08 |
| Lard|arse | that reminds me... one thing i didn't try was booting from the previous kernel version | 23:08 |

| TeamColtra[TFD] | like the flashing | and when I click the down arrow... it just scrolls down text, that gets annoying... :) Anyone know how to turn off the text cursor.. .or what that thing is really called so I can google it | 23:41 |
| gizmo_the_great | Hi. Got 4Gb RAM using 32-bit Ubuntu, but it only seeing 3.2Gb as per max addressable for 32-bit. Read about the PAE (Physical Address Extension) - most people seem to think that by installing server kernel (apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server) that the 4Gb then becomes addressable, but when I installed it and rebooted, I still at 3.2Gb? | 23:41 |
| DasEi | fwaokda:ain't this a live-cd for win passwd ? | 23:42 |
| fwaokda | DasEi, this isn't the livecd and yet is the actual program | 23:42 |
| === MikeB is now known as Technoviking | ||
| TeamColtra[TFD] | Giz I actually read an aritcle about that... basically even though a motherboard supports more than 2 GB there was something to do with it actually not being very effective to actually go over 2 GB | 23:42 |
| Delvien | gizmo_the_great: look for bigmem kernel | 23:43 |
| DasEi | fwaokda: any additional info at the stop of make ? | 23:43 |
| ximo | any ideas about why I can`t unlok my session in intrepid? BTW, I do type correctly my pass.... | 23:43 |
| steelcityjim | anyone recommend a server share application? | 23:43 |
| steelcityjim | new to linux | 23:43 |
| steelcityjim | want the ability to have a remote user get files | 23:43 |
| Delvien | TeamColtra[TFD]: Correct, unless you are running some HEAVY applications. | 23:43 |
| lard|arse | savvas: ok, no errors during the reinstall... will restart with the new kernel, and if it's not wirking, will do lspci -nnv >file and diff the 2 outputs (this one and the earlier one), and uplaod both after restarting back into a working version | 23:43 |
| fwaokda | DasEi, make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 23:43 |
| DasEi | gizmo_the_great: there is a solution for 32 bit too, but then have to recompile kernel, I#d suggest using 64 bit instead | 23:43 |
| Delvien | TeamColtra[TFD]: that mostly lies in the OS, mobos have evolved a bit | 23:44 |
| ximo | anyone?? could my problem be related with the fingerprint soft I use? | 23:44 |
| Delvien | DasEi: I would never suggest running 64bit on a 32bit processor, plus it adds compatabilty issues, there are other sollutions | 23:44 |
| Huufarted | Quick question: I want to replace my router with an Ubuntu box. Any particular RPMs that could give me a decent solution for this? | 23:44 |
| jrib | Huufarted: RPMs meaning? | 23:44 |
| TeamColtra[TFD] | Delvien: I knew I saw something about it I will still try to get that link as to why it does that | 23:44 |
| pepperjack | Huufarted: i can think of a few debs :) | 23:45 |
| Huufarted | sorry, might have used the wrong term. | 23:45 |
| DasEi | Delvien: 32 bit proc ? bad then | 23:45 |
| Huufarted | pepperjack, debs? | 23:45 |
| jrib | !rpm | Huufarted | 23:45 |
| ubottu | Huufarted: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 23:45 |
| Huufarted | bah, sorry jrib. I work on Red Hat boxes almost all day long. It's just a generic term for me. | 23:45 |
| unused_bagels | I've got an INTEL graphics chipset 945G (please, don't make fun, not by choice.) can anyone help me compile the driver? | 23:45 |
| Delvien | Huufarted: deb :) | 23:45 |
| Delvien | unused_bagels: shouldnt need to compile anything should be able to install the driver right from restricted drivers app, or synaptic | 23:46 |
| pepperjack | Huufarted: im not sure that there is any official howto in the wiki or anything but there are several good ones available. its not bad at all | 23:46 |
| benste | back again with the same problem: all my client machines in virtualbox are connecteable and get IPs but woun't ping google.de | 23:46 |
| unused_bagels | Delvien what, do I just type in intel in synaptic? | 23:47 |
| mgolisch | benste: dns broken? | 23:47 |
| mgolisch | benste: see what is your problem | 23:47 |
| Huufarted | pepperjack, any suggestion for a starting point? | 23:47 |
| Delvien | benste: what networking option did you pick for each machine? NAT? Bridged? | 23:47 |
| Delvien | unused_bagels: try it | 23:47 |
| ximo | so...no ideas then? I repeat my problem: "any ideas about why I can`t unlok my session in intrepid? BTW, I do type correctly my pass" this also happens when i password protect my screensaver | 23:48 |
| benste | Delvien , mgolisch : I'm using default options which I think is NAT | 23:48 |
| benste | Delvien , mgolisch : All worked fine until installation of LTSP | 23:48 |

| Aberration | Hi all! I got a tricky problem. Is it possible to add a sound level linked to my laptop hotkeys that is not the gnome applet? | 23:49 |
| unused_bagels | delvien: I have intel i9xx X.org display driver it says | 23:49 |
| benste | Delvien what? | 23:49 |
| pepperjack | Huufarted: looks like we have a howto afterall https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router | 23:49 |
| Delvien | benste can you check to make sure it is using NAT | 23:49 |
| unused_bagels | * Delvien | 23:49 |
| ximo | I need this for my work, company politics...and is very anoying to reboot my laptop | 23:49 |
| Huufarted | pepperjack, already reading that. :) Should have Googled it to start with. | 23:49 |
| Delvien | unused_bagels: did it pull up something that matched in synaptic? | 23:49 |
| Huufarted | thanks, Pepperjack. | 23:49 |
| Aberration | I mean. I can't set the sound level thanks to alsamixer, nor the gnome applet, not anything. Maybe I can put another sound leveler in the end of the chain, that works fine | 23:50 |
| pepperjack | Huufarted: mostly just a matter of internet connection sharing and seting up a dhcpsever the dhcpserver would only be a few changed lines in the config file and then a restart of the service and then you could use firestarter for ics its just a few mouse clicks | 23:50 |
| benste | delvien yes it uses NAT | 23:50 |
| Delvien | benste what is the guest OS? | 23:50 |
| unused_bagels | Delvien: that's what synaptic says I have. But everyone in the wine IRC says that my driver must be busted or crappy, because games I could play in XP don't even resemble anything in wine. I get serious graphical anomalies on 10 year old games. | 23:50 |
| Huufarted | yeah, I see that Pepperjack. The real question isn't so much the NATing of it, but the forwarding of ports and such. | 23:51 |
| benste | Delvien : Ubuntu 9.04 OR Win XP - both tested | 23:51 |
| ximo | anyone had the same problem? | 23:51 |
| benste | Delvien , mgolisch :I'm switching to the vbox channel | 23:51 |
| Huufarted | which would be a NAT solution I guess. | 23:51 |

| steelcityjim | can anyone assist with samba share set up | 23:51 |
| steelcityjim | not seeing the share on windows pcs | 23:52 |
| Delvien | unused_bagels: Windows games will run slower in linux, or not work at all. you can try reinstalling the driver, but there is no guarantee it will solve your issues. | 23:52 |
| Huufarted | pepperjack, that guides got the IP Tables on there. Thanks a ton | 23:52 |
| steelcityjim | seeing the linux server | 23:52 |
| unused_bagels | steelcityjim: stand by, I have a link for you. it solved all my problems with samba. | 23:52 |
| jrib | ximo: just ask your question/state your problem. Assume the channel has 0-lines of memory unless someone is addressing you. After reading your last two lines, I have no idea what you are seeking help with | 23:52 |
| steelcityjim | i think its authentication or sign on issue | 23:52 |

| calwig | hi, if i want to move some files with mv and only some how can i do it? mv dsc94?? - dsc95?? | 23:53 |
| constantine | I realize this is more of a network question, but looking at my vpn connection type options, I see "Cisco Compatible VPN" how do I know if that is right for me? | 23:53 |
| unused_bagels | Delvien: it isn't speed I'm concerned with, it's just plain wierdness. I know that the games work with linux, they're on the platinum list in wine. | 23:53 |
| steelcityjim | wait im setting it up through the desktop gui | 23:53 |
| steelcityjim | not command line | 23:53 |
| jrib | calwig: what? list the files you want to move: mv file1 file2 ... fileN TARGET | 23:53 |
| Delvien | unused_bagels: The lists in wine are not reliable. period. | 23:53 |
| calwig | jrib: Hi, well for example photographs DSC0001.JPG until DSC0100.JPG | 23:54 |

| rdw200169 | unused_bagels, WineHQ's AppDB is very good though | 23:54 |
| Delvien | unused_bagels: I hate to be the rain on the parade, but WINE isnt good, it's getting there, and they have done a stellar job with nothing to work with, what works for one person may not work for another. | 23:54 |
| jrib | calwig: you can use DSC{0001,0100} for that | 23:54 |
| unused_bagels | rdw200169: I used the appdb. I did everything it said. It's my graphics card. | 23:54 |
| Okashi | Is this a good place to ask about getting mic to work? | 23:54 |
| calwig | jrib: mv DSC{0001,0100}.JPG /home/?? | 23:55 |
| unused_bagels | rdw200169: I was hoping that it was just the driver, because I had ppl look at my screens and they all said it was the driver ;-; | 23:55 |
| Delvien | Okashi: ask away | 23:55 |

| unused_bagels | Delvien: What would you suggest, sir? I don't plan to just give up on PC games, because frankly, I'm not impressed with too many open source games I've found in synaptic. | 23:55 |
| Okashi | OK, I plug in a headset and the mic doesn't work. I've read through the guides and I still can't get it to work | 23:55 |

| oax | no effect | 23:56 |
| unused_bagels | rdw200169: guild wars and Soldier of Fortune, GTAIII Old games. | 23:56 |
| jrib | ximo: weird. Have you checked caps lock, etc? Does this reliably happen every time? Can you still login at tty? | 23:56 |
| calwig | jrib: it was only an example, but is that the right string? DSC{0001,0100}.jpg? | 23:56 |
| jrib | calwig: yes, that will work | 23:56 |
| fow | unused_bagels, old games will work plenty fine (except Splinter Cell) | 23:56 |
| pepperjack | ximo: so basically you have to alt-ctrl-f2 and then login and kill the process or alt-ctrl-backspace to kill x..that sucks :) | 23:56 |
| ximo | yes i can, is only in those cases | 23:56 |
| rdw200169 | unused_bagels, you could take a shot at cedega | 23:56 |
| fow | It's /really/ crucial that you have good video card drivers though, unused_bagels | 23:56 |
| Delvien | unused_bagels: oh, me neither. I am not too familiar with the intel chipset. Try doing a "complete removal" in synaptic, reboot, install again | 23:56 |
