| jrib | ximo: huh? I asked you several questions, so your single response is confusing | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| savvas | lard|arse: the diff :) | 00:00 |
| jrib | calwig: I mean your shell expands foo{1,3} to foo1 foo2 foo3 | 00:00 |
| Aberration | If I switch off pulse. DMIX will start instead, won't it? | 00:00 |
| ximo | jrib: sorry, i checked the cap locks, this happens every time....I can log corrctly in tty | 00:00 |
| calwig | jrib: oh, well the files will be there although some files will not all be sequential 1,2,3,5,7,8,9,10 could this create that expansion? | 00:01 |
| fow | jrib, it expands to foo1 foo3 | 00:01 |
| lard|arse | savvas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117888/ | 00:01 |
| sensae | I'm having an odd problem where flash objects load on web pages, and then randomly within 30 seconds to 3 minutes, all instances of flash die and turn into gray boxes. | 00:01 |
| fow | jrib, foo[1-3] would expand to foo1 foo2 foo3 | 00:01 |
| fow | damnit I'm supposed to be sleeping | 00:01 |
| ximo | jrub: is very strange, could this have something to do with my fingerprint reader soft? | 00:01 |
| jrib | fow: ha, sorry. I meant {1..3} | 00:02 |
| ximo | jrib: i configured my laptop so as to log with my finger, and this cworks just fine | 00:02 |
| jrib | calwig: ha, sorry. I meant {1..3} | 00:02 |
| ximo | jrib: so i don`t think that `s it | 00:03 |
| calwig | jrib: ok perhaps i need to have it explained a bit more detailed | 00:03 |
| pepperjack | ximo: it just seems really odd sorry not sure | 00:03 |
| jrib | calwig: foo{1..3} epands to foo1 foo2 foo3 | 00:03 |
| int256 | i increased download speed in ubuntu. | 00:03 |
| ximo | pepperjack: ok, thank`s anyway | 00:03 |
| calwig | jrib: so that doesnt move the files? | 00:04 |
| jrib | calwig: right. You use mv to move files | 00:04 |
| calwig | jrib: correct, thats what i want to use | 00:04 |
| jrib | calwig: so use mv foo{1..3} TARGET right? | 00:05 |
| calwig | jrib: is there a simple shell to move files, like file commander or something | 00:05 |
| calwig | right | 00:05 |
| jrib | calwig: mc | 00:05 |
| dee25 | how u remote to somebody computer | 00:05 |
| jrib | !ssh | dee25 | 00:05 |
| ubottu | dee25: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 00:05 |
| ximo | jrib: Any ideas? I read googling around that someone had the same problem but he didn`t get an aswer | 00:06 |
| Delvien | and the beauty of putty is you can run it off a USB ! | 00:06 |
| calwig | jrib: can i move files with mc? | 00:06 |
| jrib | ximo: don't know. finger print reader is a good guess. Have you checked bugs.ubuntu.com | 00:06 |
| savvas | lard|arse: I'm searching for something, hold a sec | 00:06 |
| dee25 | can i use anything besides my freind has a virus in his pc | 00:07 |
| ximo | not yet, I`ll check it rigth the way..tks! | 00:07 |

| xTheGoat121x | Hi all... I've managed to bork my Hardy install... I've booted CrunchBang's Live CD but I cannot get my home folder to back up. | 00:09 |
| gizmo_the_great | Having installed the linux-server kernel, how do I revert back to the generic one? | 00:09 |
| Delvien | gizmo_the_great: boot into it from GRUB | 00:10 |
| Huufarted | pepperjack, I looked through the guide posted and I looked (and installed) firestarter. That's a NICE setup | 00:10 |
| Flannel | gizmo_the_great: install -generic (or don't, if its still installed), choose generic at GRUB, and then once you've booted to it, you can remove -server through package management | 00:10 |
| Huufarted | a LOT easier than on FreeBSD fore sure. | 00:10 |
| gizmo_the_great | Flannel: cheers :-) | 00:10 |
| ^hashbang^ | firestarter? | 00:10 |
| Glassworks | where can i ask a question about screenlets | 00:11 |
| Huufarted | !firestarter | ^hashbang^ | 00:11 |
| ubottu | ^hashbang^: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 00:11 |
| int256 | which is the fastest downloader for ubuntu | 00:11 |

| Okashi | Is there someone who is good with sound, because now I have two problems, one with a mic and one with my speakers buzzing... | 00:13 |
| lard|arse | Okashi: it could be that your computer is sending mic input to the speakers, causing feedback | 00:13 |
| lard|arse | and i'm not sure how to fix that | 00:13 |
| Okashi | darn... | 00:14 |
| Huufarted | Okashi, could also be the speakers (if they're external) are not plugged in all the way. | 00:14 |
| savvas | lard|arse: did you file a bug about it? | 00:14 |
| lard|arse | how to know if this is the case is that turning off or unplugging the mic stops the buzzing | 00:14 |
| Huufarted | Some of the contacts might be shorted on the speaker connection | 00:14 |
| linkinx64_ | Okashi, is it coming from the speakers . or headphones? | 00:14 |
| Okashi | (Huufarted): I checked that first | 00:14 |

| Dr_Willis | kriss3d, thats easier? in what way? | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | kriss3d, what if you mount 5 different things. :) | 00:51 |
| bastid_raZor | things mounted in /media will show up on the desktop. that would make it easier to find. | 00:51 |
| kriss3d | Dr_Willis, i just like my things mounted in same folder /mnt.. i suppose its all a matter of habbit | 00:52 |
| nickrud | kriss3d, ubuntu is following the fhs, /mnt is intended for transient mounting; http://osdir.com/ml/linux.lsb.specification/2003-11/msg00032.html has a good exposition | 00:52 |

| tim | figured out the dual monitor thing. | 00:56 |
| tsrk | bitmonk, what's the best way to do that? | 00:56 |
| bitmonk | or, you can use something like ldap/krb or another auth db for ftp, many ftpd support non-system users.. | 00:56 |
| tsrk | edit /etc/passwd? | 00:56 |
| bitmonk | tsrk: that's the most straightforward | 00:56 |
| tsrk | well I want them to have a user on the system | 00:56 |
| tim | where can i get alien | 00:56 |
| tsrk | for apache and stuff | 00:56 |
| jrib | tsrk: avoid alien | 00:56 |
| nickrud | !alien | tim | 00:56 |
| ubottu | tim: 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) | 00:56 |
| jrib | tim: avoid alien | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis | tim, and why do you need that? | 00:56 |
| nickrud | tim, think the movie, it's pretty close if you're not absolutely sure what scripts are in the rpm/tar | 00:57 |
| tsrk | will changing their shell in /etc/passwd change what's used for the php exec() function? | 00:57 |
| tim | want to install vmware and need to convert an rpm so ubunto will install it | 00:57 |
| nickrud | tim, get the tar.gz instead, it installs fine | 00:57 |
| bitmonk | tsrk: good question. | 00:57 |
| tim | ok | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | tim, last i looked - there were deb packages of vmware. i have also used that tar.gz befor | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | but i use virtualbox now a days | 00:57 |
| bitmonk | if they can php exec(), who cares if they can just ssh? | 00:57 |
| nickrud | debs? I'd use debs too | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | !vmware | 00:58 |
| ubottu | VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 00:58 |
| frank_b | can anyone tell what's the best program in ubuntu for video conference at this moment? | 00:58 |
| tsrk | bitmonk, i was hoping it would disable exec() | 00:58 |
| shaggy123 | frank_b for one to one Skype most likely | 00:58 |
| bitmonk | tsrk: ah, it may, i'd suggest testing and reading docs for php exec() | 00:59 |
| tsrk | bitmonk, i'm reading the docs right now but it doesn't say anything about the shell it uses | 00:59 |
| bitmonk | you should be able to control that in php config, unless run as a cgi, i don't think php runs as the user who owns the file. | 00:59 |
| SrgSiler|sAFK | anyone know if i can do internet connection sharing in ubuntu? | 00:59 |
| frank_b | shaggy123, OK, that's what I suspected, thank you very much for your tip! :) | 00:59 |
| bitmonk | php exec() probably has the permissions of the apache user. | 00:59 |
| bitmonk | you should just be able to disable it with an apache config or php.ini paramater | 01:00 |
| shaggy123 | frank_b welcome :) | 01:00 |

| fearful | Anyone have an idea why my slabtop shows everything over 95% usage :\ kinda worrying | 01:01 |
| wahnfrieden | hi | 01:02 |
| ardchoille | fearful: anything useful in top? | 01:02 |
| wahnfrieden | i just read this article on reddit about someone replacing their car's ECU computers with Ubuntu UNIX??? | 01:02 |
| ardchoille | wahnfrieden: wouldn't surprise me | 01:02 |
| wahnfrieden | can you tell me how to? | 01:03 |
| fearful | ardchoille: I have like 130+ process but only like 5 are running rest are sleeping, and my id% is over 80% always | 01:03 |
| bastid_raZor | fearful; id% would be idle% | 01:03 |
| fearful | bastid_razor: yea I don't understand why so many process are running, is it normal? | 01:04 |
| Raylz | could it be that somehow broken hardware is running smoothly in windows but causes weird errors in ubuntu? | 01:04 |
| Raylz | like crashing programs | 01:04 |
| fearful | total slabs = 100% | 01:04 |
| wahnfrieden | poo slabs?? | 01:04 |
| fearful | I'm just wondering if this should be worrying or not | 01:05 |
| fearful | RAM usage is always below 30% so thats good | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Raylz, i have found bad memory can often cause that sort of issue.. windows crashes so much.. you dont notice the problem.. but under linux.. it sees the problem and gives an error befor it crashes. :) but ya never notice the error. | 01:06 |
| bastid_raZor | fearful; get htop. it has a slightly nicer UI | 01:06 |
| === wahnfrieden is now known as psufan | ||
| Raylz | Dr_Willis: i did a memtest for 4 hours | 01:06 |
| Raylz | no errors | 01:06 |
| fearful | bastid_razor ok, but that still doesn't answer my question, is it normal that the usage of slab should be that high? | 01:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Raylz, Just 4? :) On my system it showed the bad mem in 4 sec... | 01:07 |
| fearful | bastid_razor, not really cuasing problems just caught my attention | 01:07 |
| Raylz | Dr_Willis: dunno, i know that something is terrible broken in this pc, windows acts weird too, but a lot less | 01:07 |
| bastid_raZor | fearful; slabs? | 01:07 |
| fearful | bastid_razor, yup press slabtop on your system it shows the output of like the cache and stuff.. which i'm not really familiar with I found this command today | 01:08 |
| fearful | type* | 01:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Raylz, that can be hard to track down.. I had a flakey pc.. eventually found a ide cable with one thin cut on the wire on one side... | 01:08 |
| kanuha | Installed nvidia driver 180 on jaunty, but after login the screen just goes blank. jaunty continues to load in the dark, because I hear the music. | 01:09 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 for jaunty kanuha | 01:10 |
| Raylz | Dr_Willis: there must be some try { do_something();} catch ERORR { } stuff in windows :D | 01:10 |
| kanuha | bazhang, thx | 01:10 |
| bastid_raZor | fearful; do you know what slabtop is actually looking at? | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Raylz, i find that windows crashes so much normally.. you dont notice the extra crashes. | 01:11 |
| fearful | bastid_razor not really thats why I'm asking :p | 01:11 |
| Raylz | Dr_Willis: it doesnt crash for me, but it doesnt work well, maybe because of the broken hardware | 01:11 |
| bastid_raZor | fearful; type man slabtop | 01:11 |
| Raylz | i just dont know what to replace | 01:11 |
| Raylz | would be better to buy a new one for 300 bucks | 01:12 |
| Raylz | any tools to trace down hardware errors? | 01:12 |
| Raylz | like some special knoppix version | 01:12 |
| fearful | bastid_razor, I did... | 01:12 |
| fearful | bastid_razor I even showed you the output... | 01:12 |
| fearful | bastid_razor I'm trying to get you to tell me what it is... if not I wouldn't be asking | 01:13 |
| steelcityjim | i have recently created a samba share drive and am having problems moving files from windows pc's to ubuntu | 01:13 |
| steelcityjim | getting copy protected or drive full? | 01:14 |
| steelcityjim | any suggestions | 01:14 |
| fearful | steelcityjim: what drive, try and change permissions? | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | steelcityjim, check the permissions/ownership of the shared directory. | 01:14 |
| fearful | steelcityjim oh I didn't see the top message you can change the permissions | 01:15 |
| steelcityjim | what should the authentication mode be? | 01:15 |
| steelcityjim | user serer share domain or ads | 01:15 |
| n\median | hello! can anyone help me? i accidentally erased passwd file! how can i recover it? | 01:16 |
| mint | can someone tell me why we can't install on a usb stick like a regular drive? | 01:16 |
| steelcityjim | will share allow any user to have access? | 01:16 |
| bemuse | Hey, simple question, how do i hide icons in the taskbar thing. | 01:16 |
| Dr_Willis | mint, it can be done.. but can cause problems. Ive seen guides on doing it, but never tried. I just use the live-cd type methods. | 01:16 |
| doubletoker | what's up | 01:17 |
| doubletoker | I just installed 8.10 | 01:17 |
| doubletoker | and now, everything is messed up | 01:18 |
| kanuha | are resolutions still identified and used in the xorg.conf | 01:18 |
| jrib | !x | | 01:18 |

| kanuha | jrib, yes thx | 01:18 |
| doubletoker | Synaptic Package Manager wont let me install apache, no where in the list | 01:18 |
| mhall119 | kanuha: newer Xorg doesn't use the xorg.conf file for determining available resolutions, it auto-detects them | 01:19 |
| jawnas | doubletoker: Did you enable the multiverse repos? | 01:19 |
| Flare183 | !universe | doubletoker | 01:19 |

| mint | Dr_Willis: my bios is fully capable of usb boot and has an option to use usb as a hard drive | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis | mint, grub, and devices getting reordered (not that big an issue now a days wiuth UUID= in grub and the fstab) and some issues with the initrd (initramfs?) not having the proper usb drivers built in - i recall.. last i tried was 2+ releases ago. It may not be much of an issue any more | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis | mint, good for it.. thats no guarentee of success. since theres a lot of other little issues that can bite you. I would research it/google it - in depth to know what to watch out for. | 01:20 |
| jawnas | Why does OSX look sharper on my screen than ubuntu? Is there a technical reason or is that just my imagination? | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | jawnas, Imagination :) from waht ive seen. | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | jawnas, or they got nicer fonts.. | 01:20 |
| Ashok_ | can someone help me fix my ati drivers so glx works? | 01:20 |
| mhall119 | jawnas: different resolutions, DPI settings, anti-aliasing, etc | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | jawnas, you are running the native res of the lcd on both? | 01:21 |
| mint | Dr_Willis: thanks, good explanation. i just have lots of hdd's and want to test linux | 01:21 |
| jawnas | I read somewhere that they used vector images for everything on the screen, I found that hard to believe | 01:21 |
| constantine_ | has anyone had any good/bad experience with juniper vpn? | 01:21 |
| steelcityjim | how do I open permissions in ubuntu desktop | 01:21 |

| jrib | steelcityjim: what do you mean? | 01:21 |
| Ashok_ | anyone? ati driver help so i can run glx? | 01:22 |
| n\median | hello! can anyone help me? i accidentally erased passwd file! how can i recover it? | 01:23 |
| mhall119 | n\median: not much you can do about that | 01:23 |
| n\median | isnt passwd- backup? | 01:23 |
| jawnas | Try some data recovery software | 01:24 |
| jawnas | ext3 isn't very friendly when it comes to those, though. | 01:24 |
| Crescent_4rZ | irc.mild.net | 01:24 |
| mhall119 | n\median: do you still have the shadow file? | 01:24 |
| n\median | whats that? | 01:24 |
| doubletoker | should I have anything in my Software Sources under Authentication | 01:25 |
| mhall119 | n\median: the file where all the hashed passwords are stored | 01:25 |
| mhall119 | /etc/shadow | 01:25 |
| mhall119 | it would at least tell you what user accounts you had in /etc/passwd | 01:25 |
| steelcityjim | if files are listed as read only in windows can they be copied? | 01:25 |
| doubletoker | I can't seem to install APACHE or MYSQL, they aren't in my list | 01:25 |
| jawnas | steelcityjim: Yes they can | 01:26 |
| doubletoker | when I type apache in synaptic nothing is there | 01:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !lamp | 01:26 |

| steelcityjim | im unable to copy files from windows to my samba share can anyone assist | 01:26 |
| doubletoker | yea I already did that, using apt-get, don't allow me to get the packages either | 01:26 |

| Dr_Willis | steelcityjim, i find its often a good idea to read the 'using samba' book in the 'samba-docs' package. it has some examples of making public shares and troubleshoioting guides/tips. and it has good fundamental info on using samba. | 01:27 |

| Chaorain | Does any one know what clone output does in compiz? | 01:46 |
| Dr_Willis | zayn, in the strt of the menu.lst file is an example 'entry' for booting windows from the first hard drive/first partition. I normally just uncomment it. and it works.. if yoy are meaning to ask HOW to add a windows entry to the grub menu | 01:46 |
| zayn | the laptop didn,t come with the disc | 01:46 |
| SchighSchagh | Chaorain: it should output the same thing to both monitors | 01:46 |

| Chaorain | SchighSchagh, thanks | 01:47 |

| __mikem | jrib, never had to before :( | 01:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Weehawky, i dont recall ever having that problem. But i havent messed with vbox in linux in a month+ | 01:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Weehawky, theres the issue then it iseems.. user not in the right groups. | 01:51 |
| jrib | __mikem: yes you did, or at least load the module and restart X... | 01:51 |
| Weehawky | Dr_Willis, How would I fix that | 01:51 |
| __mikem | jrib I'll try restarting | 01:51 |
| SchighSchagh | how do I configure what keyboard layout the Guest account on my computer (intrepid, fully updated) uses? obviously I can set it when I log in, but I don't want to have to do that every time I log in since it clears all settings when I log out... | 01:51 |

| Tardious | Everytime I boot my laptop up My wifi asks me for myh keyring password (is there anywway to turn that off so it just connects automatically ? | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Weehawky, i do it the old-skool way and edit the /etc/groups file :) | 01:52 |
| WebcamWonder | Guys, quick question. Which models of nVidia does the new Xorg with Intrepid have incompatibility issues? More specifically, right now I am on hardy and running the 180.22 from nVidia's site on a 6150 Geforce Go. Would this have any trouble with the newer Xorg? | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Weehawky, but thats not the safext way | 01:52 |
| jrib | Weehawky: adduser USER GROUP | 01:52 |
| Weehawky | jrib, So I would "adduser n virtualbox" ? | 01:53 |
| spaceBARbarian | would it better to use Dropbox or shared folders in vbox ? | 01:53 |
| jrib | Weehawky: your username is "n"? | 01:53 |
| Weehawky | yes | 01:53 |
| evilGUI | Is it a bad idea to use the root mysql account? | 01:53 |
| __mikem | jrib, rebooting did not work | 01:53 |
| jrib | Weehawky: ok, well you need to prefix it with "sudo " and "virtualbox" is not the group in the error message, so you probably want to change that | 01:53 |
| jrib | __mikem: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 01:54 |
| __mikem | hold on | 01:54 |
| Weehawky | jrib, I am not understanding how I would add myself to the "group" | 01:54 |
| unused_bagels | I'm trying to compile an intel 945G graphics chipset and I got this when I typed make: http://pastebin.com/m16241da7 | 01:54 |
| spaceBARbarian | what is a .deb file ? | 01:54 |
| jrib | Weehawky: sudo adduser NAME_OF_USER NAME_OF_GROUP | 01:54 |
| unused_bagels | spaceBARbarian: double click. | 01:54 |
| evilGUI | spaceBARbarian: It's a package. | 01:54 |
| Jufis | jrib: cat /etc/issue solved the problem | 01:54 |
| unused_bagels | spaceBARbarian: it's like an exe or msi file, you use it to install programs. | 01:55 |
| Weehawky | jrib, And how do I know the 'group's name' | 01:55 |
| jrib | Weehawky: the error message you pasted before has the name of the group | 01:55 |

| WebcamWonder | spaceBARbarian: Perhaps it is b/c dropbox plugin itself doesn't start to download the dropbox daemon. Goto their forums, and grab their forum builds, and extract it using the command they give. That should bring in the daemon for you | 02:24 |

| WebcamWonder | spaceBARbarian: You can make it work if you want to. It just won't work as "hassle-free". But GNOME is less minimal than XFCE. So a little slower in your VB | 02:25 |
| mib_v07zdy | WebcamWonder, if I put the cd version on a dvd-r, will it work? | 02:25 |

| secvuln | Hello | 02:26 |
| secvuln | I have a slight problem. | 02:26 |
| mib_v07zdy | WebcamWonder: because I do not know how to do it with a cd. Will it load in boot? | 02:26 |
| spaceBARbarian | WebcamWonder: would it be beneficial to do install 8.04 over 8.10 in terms of performance ? i have a good graphics card but a slow HD and only 2gb RAM. | 02:26 |

| green__ | ah ok | 02:27 |
| mai-five | safe-upgrade? | 02:27 |
| WebcamWonder | spaceBARbarian: Hardy is LTS. So, it would be supported for a greater amount of time. In terms of performance, shouldn't be much diff | 02:27 |
| Xenos | bastid_raZor: Yes, that lets me set keyboard shortcuts to specific window tasks, etc. I want to set keyboard shortcuts to open specific applications | 02:27 |

| glen_ | Does anyone here use Webmin? | 02:28 |
| Gumby` | Does anyone here know if there is a way I can tell if my nic knows its connected to a gigabit switch or whether its in 100mb/s mode | 02:28 |
| jrib | !webmin | glen_ | 02:28 |
| ubottu | glen_: 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. | 02:28 |

| zayn | if anyone can offer a newbie to ubuntu some grub menu help, please pm me | 02:37 |
| jrib | mib_v07zdy: if you want to use it on a desktop, use the desktop version. If you want to use it on a server, use the server version. They use the same repositories but have a different set of default packages | 02:37 |
| jrib | !ask | zayn | 02:37 |
| ubottu | zayn: 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. :-) | 02:37 |
| mib_v07zdy | Can you explain that? I want to use it for a webserver on my laptop | 02:38 |
| zayn | does /dev /sada7 mean I have 7 partitions? | 02:39 |
| mib_v07zdy | with apache, mysql, and php | 02:39 |
| secvuln | zayn, it can | 02:39 |
| jrib | mib_v07zdy: do you want a gui? Or are you just sticking it in a closet somewhere? | 02:39 |
| illumin8 | Will running your monitor in a lower resolution speed up grapical applications? | 02:39 |
| secvuln | zayn, but not nesserialy | 02:39 |
| mib_v07zdy | gui? I am a web coder, and i want to code on my laptop | 02:39 |
| WebcamWonder | zayn: sudo fdisk -l, to see a list of all partitions | 02:40 |
| jrib | mib_v07zdy: install the desktop version and then install apache and friends with: | 02:40 |
| jrib | !lamp | mib_v07zdy | 02:40 |
| ubottu | mib_v07zdy: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 02:40 |
| zayn | I have multiple ubuntu and xubuntu entries but vista has disappeared. any ideas as to how to reinstall it? | 02:40 |
| secvuln | zayn, don't | 02:40 |
| mib_v07zdy | I do not have internet. Do I need internet? If so, where can I find the rps? | 02:40 |
| mib_v07zdy | rpms | 02:40 |
| Xenos | Man is keyboard shortcuts in Ubuntu a mess :-/ Can't even figure out where the <super> + r is currently set (does weird zoom thing, annoying as f***) | 02:40 |
| secvuln | :) | 02:40 |
| WebcamWonder | zayn: Assuming you haven't overwritten the vista partition, you need to add a chainloader to your grub | 02:40 |
| jrib | mib_v07zdy: ubuntu doesn't use rpms | 02:41 |
| illumin8 | vista is not cooperative when it comes to shareing space on a drive, many times it will entirly whipe your system to install itself | 02:41 |
| WebcamWonder | Xenos: Compiz, assuming you have it enabled | 02:41 |
| mib_v07zdy | oh, do i need internet? | 02:41 |
| zayn | ok how do I do that please? | 02:41 |
| bastid_raZor | Xenos; in compiz probably | 02:41 |

| ubottu | Xenos, please see my private message | 02:41 |
| secvuln | anyone here know about ploop boot manager? | 02:41 |
| jrib | mib_v07zdy: no, you'll need to get the packages for what you want though. It may be easier to install the server version and then use the alternate cd to install ubuntu-desktop as well. I don't know if the alternate cd contains apache, php, etc | 02:42 |
| kindofabuzz | anyone use winetricks? i get this when trying to install stuff using winetricks: err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out | 02:42 |
| Xenos | Got compiz, not set there as far as I can see (general options->key bindings) | 02:42 |
| Snakedoc | tritium, ya here? | 02:42 |
| WebcamWonder | kindofabuzz: #winehq would be more helpful | 02:42 |
| mib_v07zdy | ok, so where can i find the alternet install? | 02:42 |
| kindofabuzz | WebcamWonder, yeah you're right | 02:42 |
| jrib | !alternate | mib_v07zdy | 02:42 |
| ubottu | mib_v07zdy: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 02:42 |
| WebcamWonder | Xenos: You need to find and disable it in the compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:42 |
| zayn | so, after sudo fdisk - l - how do I safely remove unwanted partitions? | 02:43 |
| jrib | mib_v07zdy: you are using the alternate cd as a package repository after installing the server version (or at least that is my suggestion) | 02:43 |
| Xenos | WebcamWonder: Yes. Compizconfig-settings-manager,->general->general options_>key bindings | 02:43 |

| mib_v07zdy | ok, can I download that? | 02:43 |
| Xenos | WebcamWonder: Nothing with <super> r or <mod4> r there | 02:43 |
| illumin8 | zayn, i use gparted and you simply select them then remove them. | 02:43 |
| jrib | mib_v07zdy: yes... | 02:44 |
| WebcamWonder | Xenos: Compiz doesn't keep its key bindings centralized, they are scattered across all plugins. You woul dneed to persoanlly check all the plugins. I would suggest start with the ones involving zoom | 02:44 |
| zayn | i have gparted illumin8, thanks I'll try that | 02:44 |
| WebcamWonder | !gparted | zayn | 02:44 |
| ubottu | zayn: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 02:44 |

| robertc1985 | when i first installed wubi 804 back in november it was very fast, but now it's grinding to a halt | 02:47 |
| WebcamWonder | robertc1985: Wubi is not meant to be for long term use, b/c of the way it handles partitions | 02:48 |
| histo | robertc1985: doesn't wubi run ubuntu under windows? or does it reboot? | 02:48 |
| WebcamWonder | histo: It runs Ubuntu natively off a large file inside the NTFS drive loopback mounted as an ext3 file partition | 02:48 |
| green_ | !sound | 02:48 |

| robertc1985 | it reboots, and i get a bootloader that lets me choose between OS'es | 02:48 |
| mib_v07zdy | how do i get to the alternet? | 02:49 |
| WebcamWonder | green_: I don't know much about this, but did you make sure that your sound card is even detected first? | 02:49 |
| green_ | yes, i used aplay -l | 02:49 |
| robertc1985 | it's one big file, about 28 GB | 02:49 |

| histo | robertc1985: computers are like air conditioners they work fine until you start opening windows | 02:50 |
| green_ | yes, i unmuted all possible playback in volume control, and put them on full | 02:50 |
| mib_v07zdy | lol | 02:50 |
| robertc1985 | lol too true | 02:50 |
| WebcamWonder | green_: Ok, did you try playing something from aplay, specifically directly to your card? | 02:51 |
| green_ | how do i do that? | 02:51 |
| robertc1985 | well since i've actually had luck in windows occasionally running defrag, i wonder if that would help any? | 02:51 |
| WebcamWonder | robertc1985: Since you have a 30 gig file, it should help given that it is very unlikely that 30 gig is written as a linear file on your NTFS | 02:52 |
| WebcamWonder | green_: aplay -D<device_name from aplay -l> <filename>, I think that is the format | 02:52 |
| robertc1985 | what i find odd is that only small programs tend to freeze, while when i watch movies in totem or play games like second life everything seems fine | 02:52 |
| Xenos | :-/ xbind-keys doesn't seem to work (as in, the shortcuts it make don't do anything) | 02:52 |
| secvuln | No one seems to be able to answer my question. :'( | 02:53 |
| WebcamWonder | secvuln: We would have answered it, if we knew the answer. Contrary to popular belief, we do not hold the entire world's intelligence on this channel :) | 02:54 |
| histo | robertc1985: defragging ext3 is not necessary | 02:55 |
| WebcamWonder | histo: He was talking about NTFS | 02:55 |
| Xenos | using metacity seems to do better, tho | 02:55 |
| histo | robertc1985: something else is causing your issue but I don't know much about how wubi works. | 02:55 |
| histo | WebcamWonder: isn't wubi using ext3 | 02:55 |
| robertc1985 | wubi is similar to virtualization i think | 02:55 |
| WebcamWonder | histo: Please read my prior description as to how wubi works. It is not similar to virtualization | 02:56 |
| WebcamWonder | It runs Ubuntu natively off a large file inside the NTFS drive loopback mounted as an ext3 file partition | 02:56 |
| robertc1985 | wubi actually uses ntfs or fat 32 | 02:56 |
| histo | WebcamWonder: if it loopbacks and mounts it as ext3 t5hen its ext3 | 02:56 |
| histo | WebcamWonder: and that file would not need to be defragged nor could it. | 02:56 |
| WebcamWonder | histo: Yes, but since it is actually inside an NTFS partition, it is very unliekly that it would be stored linearly, and if NTFS is defragged, performance can be improved | 02:57 |

| WebcamWonder | lmao: Not possible without PA. Skype uses Alsa by default. And you need your soundcard to support hardware mixing, or dmix for software mixing | 03:04 |

| lmao | WebcamWonder, what is PA? | 03:04 |
| lmao | oh pulse? | 03:05 |
| WebcamWonder | chu_: Slightly more complicated. Most installs bring in files to /lib, /bin, etc. I think what you are more thinking about is a separate home | 03:05 |
| WebcamWonder | !home | chu_ | 03:05 |

| WebcamWonder | lmao: What version of Ubuntu are you on? | 03:06 |
| chu_ | I have my /home in a separate directory, but I'm wondering, if I was to upgrade to 9.04 would I still have (for instance) Celestia installed? | 03:06 |

| giaco | my webcam was working on the previous ubuntu release, but it's not after the update to the least version | 03:07 |
| WebcamWonder | lmao: Then you need dmix to enable software mixing (which I have no clue with). I would recommend to ask more people here, and google around | 03:07 |

| chu_ | But if I was to install, say xubuntu on a separate partition, would it be able to find the same Celestia install (I would be using the same /home) | 03:08 |
| exodus_ms | WebcamWonder, cool, good to see you are a good sport :) | 03:08 |
| WebcamWonder | chu_: /home contains all your personal files. So, it won't find the program installed, but if you were to install it, it would pick up your saved config | 03:09 |

| warfie43 | @Webcamwonder&Alterax :D | 03:12 |
| chu_ | Alright | 03:12 |
| Alterax | Aquina, I'd stick with the standard ones from the repo, if only because updating them will be smoother in the future. | 03:12 |

| WebcamWonder | lmao: gedit makes an automatic backup of all edited files. Just goto the directory you edited the file from, and you should see a file name, originalfilename~, that is your backup | 03:31 |
| lstarnes | n\median: you don't need to do that. All ports are allowed to be used by default | 03:32 |

Why would it not select th | 03:37 |
| stryd_one | e newer version? | 03:37 |
| WebcamWonder | stryd_one: It is expected, since the jre was installed from a higher version, it might be that the dependency for sun-java6-jdk was actually lower than the current installed package | 03:38 |
| n\median | lstarnes: this is weird! i started the teamspeak with one user. then i switched to admin, and did that cmd.. but the process isnt there | 03:39 |

| GeffIsLegend | whats appdb? | 03:51 |
| warfie43 | RAZ_ since nobody more knowledgable than me has answered I'll offer my guess.... if you're booting the live image, no matter if it's on a usb stick, nothing is persistant | 03:51 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | !appdb | GeffIsLegend | 03:51 |
| 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 | 03:51 |
| tnnc | aquina i get that liboobs warning and it doesnt come up | 03:52 |
| rdw200169 | GeffIsLegend, have you checked to make sure sound works in wineconfig first? | 03:52 |
| raz_- | warfie43, that isn't exactly true. I have installed flash 9 and it is persistant despite reboots. | 03:53 |
| stryd_one | Aquina, i did use apt-get, same results :( I agree, something ain't right, but i've no idea where to look to try and fix it. I haven't done any kind of weird config to aptitude/apt-get/synaptic aside from adding new repos | 03:53 |
| Ciolivera | http://www.metroflog.com/ci0livera | 03:53 |
| * warfie43 pulls his head in.... | 03:53 | |
| GeffIsLegend | im pretty sure, i have all the audio settings enabled | 03:53 |
| rdw200169 | GeffIsLegend, it's: winecfg on the cmd line | 03:53 |
| rdw200169 | GeffIsLegend, you have to make sure the sound test works there *first* | 03:53 |
| rdw200169 | GeffIsLegend, b/c if wine can't output sound, WoW never will ;) | 03:54 |
| GeffIsLegend | rdw200169: yeah i just tested sound it worked, should i enable sound emulation? | 03:54 |
| daniel928413 | hi | 03:54 |
| daniel928413 | bye | 03:54 |
| rdw200169 | GeffIsLegend, no, i just have Full/44100/16 for the option | 03:55 |
| seriouslycgi | lstarnes, i changed ownership and group do i need to reboot for changes cos its not letting me in anymore :s | 03:55 |
| seriouslycgi | oh i need to change mode as well dont i? | 03:55 |
| lstarnes | seriouslycgi: you shouldn't need to reboot | 03:55 |
| rdw200169 | GeffIsLegend, are you using the alsa driver? | 03:55 |
| lstarnes | seriouslycgi: what is the mode set to? | 03:55 |
| GeffIsLegend | rdw200169: thats what i got , and i got everything in the check boxes checked in also | 03:56 |
| seriouslycgi | lstarnes, drwxr-xr-x | 03:56 |
| GeffIsLegend | rdw200169: pretty sure all of them are enabled, is this bad? lol | 03:56 |
| lstarnes | seriouslycgi: that looks correct | 03:56 |
| tnnc | liboobs | 03:56 |
| rdw200169 | GeffIsLegend, just use alsa | 03:56 |
| seriouslycgi | im using thunar but it wont let me in the mount point/directory | 03:57 |
| seriouslycgi | do i need to re-mount it | 03:57 |
| lstarnes | seriouslycgi: you might need to | 03:57 |
| rdw200169 | GeffIsLegend, wine is a bastard about alsa, it will only use the 'default' | 03:57 |
| GeffIsLegend | oo , hah, should i reset WoW and try it? | 03:58 |
| rdw200169 | GeffIsLegend, sure, wouldn't hurt | 03:58 |
| GeffIsLegend | rdw200169: kk1min | 03:58 |
| jony_kalavera | hi i'm having problems with a canon printer ip1600. iget an error which says child process aborted | 03:59 |

| ScottG489 | As I see it, there are generally 2 ways I open a file, to either view it or to edit it. Its there any program I can use to streamline being able to do this to a file? Say I hold down shift when I double click on a file, it will open the editor i choose instead of a program to view it with. Anyone know of a program like this or have a comment on the idea? | 04:03 |
| baz | ziroday, by typing 'conky' in terminal | 04:03 |
| ziroday | baz: okay. try kill it with killall conky | 04:03 |
| rdw200169 | GeffIsLegend, i don't know then... have you check the config.wtf file to make sure it's alright (for WoW)? | 04:04 |
| mcstinky | good morning everyone, can anyone tell me why I have to create two profiles in my vnc4server? and upon rebooting, I have to always start the second account, or it says connection dropped, I am on LAN | 04:04 |
| === endeavormac|afk is now known as endeavormac | ||
| ziroday | ScottG489: AFAIK there is no utility to do this, can you give an example on one of these files? | 04:04 |
| baz | ziroday, thats good, thanks | 04:04 |
| jony_kalavera | does anyone here speaks german? | 04:04 |
| redvamp128 | mcstinky: I have heard of people adding it to a startup script | 04:04 |
| GeffIsLegend | ill have to double check, where does the Config.WTF go exactly? which directory | 04:04 |
| redvamp128 | #de | jony_kalavera | 04:04 |
| ziroday | baz: and then restart it with conky :). Also if conky is running in the terminal you can use ctrl+c to kill it | 04:04 |

| baz | ziroday, what about making it independent of the terminal | 04:05 |
| stryd_one | Anyone who is searching for this later might like to know: I found the culprit: /etc/apt/preferences has some pinnings set. I removed them and it's fixed | 04:05 |
| ziroday | baz: do conky & disown | 04:05 |
| Aquina | jony_kalavera brauchst Du Hilfe? | 04:06 |
| jony_kalavera | i dont speak german but i think this forum could be simmilar to my problem. http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/canon-ip2500/?highlight=open#post-1189645 | 04:06 |
| isaac_ | For an older computer that will not boot from USB; is there a boot disk that will let you boot from USB? | 04:06 |
| stryd_one | thanks all, 'til next time! :) | 04:06 |
| GeffIsLegend | rdw200169: ill have to double check, where does the Config.WTF go exactly? which directory | 04:06 |
| rdw200169 | GeffIsLegend, it should be in the WTF directory of where WoW is installed | 04:06 |
| ScottG489 | ziroday: I can think of a ton of examples. Say you have an image file, you could open gimp to edit it or image viewer to edit it. Thats probably my most common problem but I know I have run into other occasions where i have frequently wanted to edit a file or view it almost an equal ammount | 04:06 |
| axor1337 | /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER axor1337 aavifeqeufxh | 04:06 |
| isaac_ | You know how an old Windows 98 boots from floppy, then you point it at the cd drive. Is there a boot cd that you can then use to boot from USB? | 04:06 |
| ziroday | ScottG489: sure, well I don't know any way to do that, you might want to put your idea up on brainstorm.ubuntu.com | 04:07 |
| bemuse | In future it would be better to do those type of things in the status window axor1337 | 04:07 |
| ziroday | axor1337: you will want to change your password | 04:07 |
| jony_kalavera | sorry wrong one http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/canon-ip-1500-unter-ubuntu-8.10-32-bit/ | 04:07 |

| ScottG489 | ziroday: Or for a lot of programming files. The IDE I use takes a while to open, say I just want to look at it with a smaller program that formatted it correctly (not just a text viewer) | 04:07 |
| ziroday | isaac_: you should be able to configure that through the bios | 04:07 |
| isaac_ | ziroday some old computers' BIOS won't boot from USB. | 04:08 |
| ziroday | ScottG489: yep, it makes sense to me. When you're done submitting your idea ping me and I'll approve it for you | 04:08 |
| ScottG489 | ziroday: Thats something i seriously would like to program myself if i knew how to right now | 04:08 |
| jony_kalavera | Aquina: i dont speak german i was just asking for anyone who could explain this http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/canon-ip-1500-unter-ubuntu-8.10-32-bit/ | 04:08 |
| ScottG489 | ziroday: What does approving it do? | 04:08 |
| DarthSomething | hi people | 04:09 |
| ziroday | ScottG489: well when you submit an idea it has to be approved by moderators, to make sure it makes sense etc before people can vote on it | 04:09 |

| ScottG489 | oh ok | 04:10 |
| redvamp128 | isaac_: depending on what the os is on the computer I have heard of the following-- installing linux on a usb stick-- then adding wingrub to point to the usb (which would still use the mbr) if windows is installed. | 04:10 |

| ziroday | darthanubis: whoops, sorry | 04:10 |
| NoSoyKaseO | habemus... | 04:10 |
| DarthSomething | ufw or firestarter leave open the icmp and i cannot stay stealth | 04:10 |
| isaac_ | redvamp128 Ouch......... sounds like it could seriously mess up the resident OS. Do you know anyone who could make a boot cd like that? | 04:11 |
| DarthSomething | i cannot pass the security test of shieldsup | 04:11 |
| redvamp128 | isaac_: it is not a big mess let me give you the page to the wingrub-- it is a line added to the boot.ini to point to the wingrub then to boot the linux without major changes. | 04:12 |
| ziroday | DarthSomething: you are fine, don't worry about it. | 04:12 |
| illumin8 | Appologies if this is not the right question for this area, but i have checked other channels and noone seems to know. I downloaded Savage XR and tried to install it from the terminal but get a error that i am lacking permissions, how can i give myself permissions on it (i have tried right clicking to change them) | 04:12 |

| DarthSomething | tx | 04:12 |
| ziroday | illumin8: do chmod ugo+r /path/to/executable | 04:12 |
| illumin8 | ziroday, Thank you | 04:12 |
| Aquina | Sorry jony_kalavera but I think I cannot help you with that. You'd specify your problem a bit more. Generally installing all packets is necessary. | 04:13 |
| DarthSomething | but i've not undestood if to use ufw is the cause to not be stealth | 04:13 |
| fred__ | who knows a good and easy wfi captif portal | 04:13 |
| ziroday | DarthSomething: that test was designed for windows computers, not linux futhermore its somewhat outdated | 04:13 |
| rdw200169 | fred__, coovachilli, coova.org or coova.com | 04:14 |
| DarthSomething | maybe also my router that replies to icmp, but using firestarter i get some alarms | 04:14 |
| DarthSomething | this things means that i'm not stealth | 04:14 |
| DarthSomething | if someone ping my pc | 04:14 |
| aboys | where is mysql_config file ? at apt-get install mysql | 04:15 |
| rdw200169 | fred__, it's an amazing upgrade to the now ancient chillispot captive portal. complete with DHCP redirection/relay, etc... | 04:15 |

| simplenewb | I'm using sshfs to mount a drive from another computer on my home network, question is how can I write to the drive? Whenever I use sshfs to mount a drive it's read only and I don't know how to make it writable. | 04:15 |
| riegersn | mplayer starts caching in firefox for videos, then stops and status in player window says 'Stopped' video never plays. Any Idea? | 04:15 |
| ziroday | illumin8: what does ls -l ./xr* output? | 04:16 |
| DarthSomething | i'm a little paranoid, i know... but my real problem is to not understand how my firewall works | 04:16 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, if you really want to learn about how linux does firewalling, start reading about ipTables | 04:17 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, smoothwall, ufw, firestarter (etc... etc...) all use iptables | 04:17 |
| ziroday | illumin8: according to that you didn't do chmod ugo+x ./xr* | 04:17 |
| DarthSomething | ufw overwrite iptables rules? | 04:17 |
| ziroday | illumin8: try sudo chmod ugo+x ./xr* | 04:17 |
| DarthSomething | if i use ufw and firestarter i make something of bad? | 04:18 |
| ziroday | illumin8: it depends on who owns the file, run it as sudo for now | 04:18 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, no, it's not like that; iptables is always in charge... ufw, in the backround, runs iptables to input the firewall information | 04:18 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, as does firestarter, etc... | 04:18 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, i don't understand your question | 04:18 |
| step | hey all, anyone tell me why when i make a change to file sharing settings (and the sharing is working) the settings aren't being reflected in /etc/samba/smb.conf | 04:18 |
| DarthSomething | ok, they are likes gui for iptables | 04:19 |
| ziroday | illumin8: and then when doing ls -l ./xr* it should read rwxrwxrwx | 04:19 |
| illumin8 | ziroday, ok thanks ill try that, be right back | 04:19 |
| ziroday | step: I believe gnome puts the settings elsewhere, but don't know where sorry :( | 04:19 |
| arghh2d2 | frontend | 04:19 |
| DarthSomething | in this way, i yet can use iptables rules | 04:19 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, yes | 04:19 |
| step | ziroday, that's my theory. but google isn't helping me out :( | 04:20 |
| DarthSomething | and i must write/copy a "not icmp" iptables rule | 04:20 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, if you want more rules for firestarter, for example, you have to add stuff to /etc/firestarter/user-pre or user-post | 04:20 |
| memphis_ | hello? | 04:20 |
| ziroday | step: what are you trying to do? | 04:20 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, and if you want to take some away, you have to edit /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh | 04:20 |
| ziroday | memphis_: Hi! How can we help you? | 04:20 |
| illumin8 | ziroday, after trying the sudo mehtod i do get -rwxrwxrwx 1 now. thank you | 04:20 |
| DarthSomething | tx rdw200169 | 04:20 |
| memphis_ | just checking out the digs, I am in Utah | 04:20 |
| step | ziro: mostly wanted to kill the "printers" share, but i'd like to tweak the browseable setting too. | 04:21 |
| ziroday | illumin8: awesome! The file executes now? | 04:21 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, keep in mind that iptables is passive, as far as config loading is concerned | 04:21 |
| maxime | what about the linux file system :P | 04:21 |
| ziroday | step: can you pastebin your /etc/samba/smb.conf? I'm not very good with samba but two brains are better then one | 04:21 |
| memphis_ | ziroday: what the topic tonight? | 04:21 |
| illumin8 | ziroday, that it does, quite fast actually :) | 04:21 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, the last firewall frontend to run is the one who owns the firewall; most firewall apps will flush the old firewall out, and add theirs | 04:21 |
| illumin8 | ziroday, thank you again, i should post this on thier forums? | 04:21 |
| BZOTKHUIDT | hello | 04:22 |
| ziroday | memphis_: This is support, something not working you can ask us. To chat you can do so in #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 04:22 |
| ziroday | illumin8: you could, but the reason its not like that automatically is a security setting | 04:22 |
| step | ziro: i'm ok tinkering with the file, i just can't find where gnome's making the changes. it just isn't using the ones in /etc/ | 04:22 |
| ziroday | illumin8: I believe, I could be wrong | 04:22 |
| memphis_ | well I wanted to ask I have a site www.videogamefixer.com and I wanted to know about getting a Ubuntu distro on a xbox 360 | 04:22 |
| ziroday | step: you could ask in #gnome on irc.gimp.net | 04:22 |
| richerVE | hi, how can i pair a device with bluez 4.x ??? anyone? | 04:23 |
| ziroday | irc://irc.gimp.org/#gimp | 04:23 |
| DarthSomething | finally if i use something likes "sudo iptables -something" i bypass ufw and firestarter? | 04:23 |
| step | ziro: thanks, i will. | 04:23 |
| spasticteapot | memphis_: Not going to be easy. The Xbox 360 uses a version of the PowerPC architechture far more advanced than that ever supported by Ubuntu. | 04:23 |
| ziroday | woops sorry | 04:23 |
| illumin8 | ziroday, to combine the two commands you sent me they would appear as "sudo chmod ugo+rx /path/to/file" correct? | 04:23 |
| DarthSomething | or firestarter can overwrite my new rule? | 04:23 |
| memphis_ | how do we whisper (sorry a little new to linux and IRC) | 04:24 |
| ziroday | illumin8: err sudo chmod ugo+x /path/to/file should do. | 04:24 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, well, unless you flush the firewall, it just adds the new rule to the end of the chain, if you use the -A rule for example | 04:24 |
| spasticteapot | memphis_: If there IS such a distro, it's going to be oriented towards people wanting to use 360s for distributed computing (such as a render farm), not for, say, media playback. | 04:24 |
| ziroday | memphis_: you mean message people? | 04:24 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, you can use -I to insert, but that's tricky to use | 04:24 |
| memphis_ | yeah | 04:24 |
| FoxBlitzz | memphis_ /msg user | 04:24 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, its easier to just modify the user-pre/user-post files | 04:24 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, or edit firewall.sh | 04:25 |
| FoxBlitzz | Or /query in some clients | 04:25 |
| n\median | lstarnes: thanks | 04:25 |
| n\median | i managed to put it working | 04:25 |
| Kolie_ | I made a dvd, and the colors are fine on my windows computer, but under vlc and xine the colors are wrong. background are purple, people are greyed out, its just weird. | 04:25 |
| spasticteapot | Does anyone here know how to get Ubuntu to do something with my M-Audio Audiophile? I did the firmware fix as described on the forums, which allowed ALSA to recognize it as existing, but I can't get anything to play through it. | 04:25 |
| DarthSomething | rdw200169, what's the simplest way? edit user-pre? | 04:25 |
| spasticteapot | Kolie_: I have a similar problem, except for me the color depth has been reduced entirely to nil, the contrast is gone, and the sound is muted. :) | 04:26 |
| Kolie_ | I can hear fine, I had to switch to totem-xine | 04:26 |
| chu_ | hey is it possible to "embed" a terminal on the desktop? | 04:26 |
| Kolie_ | or use vlc | 04:26 |
| Kolie_ | But color is wrong in both | 04:26 |
| ziroday | chu_: I believe so with xwinwrap | 04:27 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, firestarter is pretty smart about *where* it adds the pre and post rules. consult firestarter.sh on where exactly it does this | 04:27 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, it's a relatively simple script to read ;) | 04:27 |
| jony_kalavera | Aquina: nevermind i found the solution sudo apt-get install libcnbj-2.6 bjfilter-2.6 pstocanonbj | 04:27 |
| DarthSomething | ok, thanks | 04:27 |
| jony_kalavera | Aquina: thanx any way | 04:27 |
| DarthSomething | you're very kind rdw200169 | 04:28 |
| rdw200169 | DarthSomething, I try to help, i'm sorry if i sounded rude | 04:29 |
| DarthSomething | noth, it sounds good ;-) | 04:29 |

| owen1 | my FF beeps when i scoll with ctrl+down and hit the bottom. can I silent it? | 04:31 |

| ziroday | owen1: you can remove the beep all together from all apps with sudo rmmod pcspkr | 04:31 |
| rdw200169 | ziroday, that is one classy fix! (why didn't i do that? i just removed the speaker!) | 04:32 |
| owen1 | ziroday: interesting, but i would like only from FF. | 04:32 |
| ziroday | rdw200169: haha, you can add it do /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to have it not loaded at startup | 04:32 |

| raz_- | Anyone knows why the nvidia driver install isn't persistant after reboots on usb-flash-disks running the live image? Flash 9 is staying, despite reboots. Nvidia's drivers aren't :/ | 04:33 |
| redvamp128 | ziroday: why not just goto system- preferences -- sound -- then system beep -- uncheck? | 04:33 |
| ziroday | owen1: hmm for me doing ctrl+down changes tab | 04:33 |
| tritium | raz_-: why do you say that? | 04:33 |
| owen1 | ziroday: i meant page-down..sorry | 04:33 |
| _Thorn_ | Is ubuntu 7.04 too old to "upgrade" ? | 04:33 |
| spasticteapot | Does anyone know why sound isn't playing through my USB soundcard? | 04:33 |
| DarthSomething | see you later! | 04:34 |
| ziroday | owen1: page down doesn't do it either | 04:34 |
| raz_- | tritium, because it is what I am currently experiencing? | 04:34 |
| tritium | raz_-: it's not true in general. Which driver package did you intsall? | 04:34 |
| owen1 | ziroday: it doen't beep or doesn't scroll? | 04:34 |
| tritium | install, even | 04:34 |
| ziroday | owen1: doesn't scroll | 04:34 |
| owen1 | ziroday: weird. nothing happend? | 04:34 |
| ziroday | owen1: ctrl+pg down changes tabs | 04:35 |
| raz_- | tritium, the last one, using the ubuntu hardware driver for proprietary drivers menu.. version 180, if I remember correctly. | 04:35 |
| owen1 | ziroday: i know. i am talking about scrolling. | 04:35 |
| ziroday | owen1: don't know sorry | 04:35 |
| owen1 | ziroday: np | 04:35 |
| tritium | raz_-: probably nvidia-glx-177, in that case. -180 doesn't show up in the menu. What does /etc/X11/xorg.conf list as the driver when you believe the driver doesn't persist? | 04:37 |
| chu_ | I notice sometimes when I close programs, the power-manager crashes (8.10), do I report this as a bug? | 04:38 |
| chu_ | It could be resetting I guess. | 04:38 |

| evilGUI | any idea why I get -bash: cd: lighttpd: Permission denied | 04:47 |
| evilGUI | when I try to cd /var/log/lighttpd/ | 04:47 |
| martin_ | -,d | 04:48 |
| ziroday | evilGUI: because its a file not a folder? | 04:48 |
| martin_ | nano try | 04:48 |
| evilGUI | I tried nano it says it's a folder. | 04:48 |
| evilGUI | same goes for the mysql log directory | 04:49 |
| ziroday | evilGUI: can you pastebin ls -la /var/log/ | 04:49 |
| dee25 | how u install 915 resolution i have it in my home folder | 04:49 |
| Stargazer | Is there a way to take a screenshot without shooting the pointer ? | 04:49 |
| tritium | dee25: that's typically not needed any more | 04:49 |
| ziroday | Stargazer: I believe ksnapshot can do that | 04:49 |
| raz_- | tritium, I perfermed an update earlier, as such, I have access to versions 173/177/180 in the "hardware drivers" menu. | 04:49 |
| Halcyon | hmm | 04:49 |
| kitche | evilGUI: most likely it's because you need root powers to access those directories so use sudo to access them | 04:50 |
| dee25 | is not? | 04:50 |
| dee25 | im trying to change my resolution | 04:50 |
| mcstinky | Stargazer, are you using the 'take screenshot' tool? I believe that has an option to not show mouse on picture | 04:50 |
| Stargazer | Ziroday, is there a native way ? (without using another probram) | 04:50 |
| evilGUI | http://pastebin.com/m2c3410b2 | 04:50 |
| tritium | raz_-: its inclusion in the menu evidently depends on what hardware is auto-detected. For many, 180 doesn't show up. | 04:50 |
| evilGUI | kitche: How would I do that sudo cd? | 04:50 |
| Stargazer | Mcstinky: just the PrtScrn button. :) | 04:50 |
| ziroday | Stargazer: I always use ksnapshot as I find it more powerful, sorry | 04:50 |
| raz_- | tritium, 180 is the "recommended" one.. once I click on "activate", it tells me I need to restart the computer to activate the driver. I do so. It doesn't. | 04:50 |
| kitche | evilGUI: yes but I would use sudo -i really | 04:50 |
| _2 | what is dir anyway ? Direct Rendering Infrastructure ? | 04:51 |
| martin_ | eç | 04:51 |
| tritium | raz_-: what does "apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-180" reveal? Is it installed? Does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf list "nvidia" as the driver? | 04:51 |
| martin_ | bad comand | 04:51 |
| bemuse | dir = directory? | 04:51 |
| raz_- | tritium, checking.. | 04:51 |
| ziroday | evilGUI: right, you don't have read permission on that directory | 04:51 |
| _2 | bemuse typo dri | 04:51 |
| bemuse | oh i see :P | 04:52 |
| evilGUI | ziroday: Is it meant to be that way? | 04:52 |
| ziroday | evilGUI: well its how you set it up. You can change it. | 04:52 |
| _2 | so if i'm not using 3d nor wanting 3d is there any reason to work on getting dri working ? | 04:53 |
| raz_- | tritium, "...nvidia-glx-180" indicates: installed (same as candidate): 180.11-0ubuntu1-intrepid1 ... opening xorg.conf. | 04:53 |
| tritium | raz_-: good | 04:53 |
| evilGUI | ziroday: How so? | 04:53 |
| ziroday | evilGUI: sudo chmod ugo+r /var/log/lighttpd | 04:53 |
| _2 | 755 | 04:54 |
| evilGUI | ziroday: You see my problem was this VPS had root enabled by default for some odd reason and I installed a few things as root =( | 04:54 |
| evilGUI | ziroday: Should I do a reinstall? | 04:54 |
| raz_- | tritium, yes.. under 'Section "Device"', there is 'Driver "nvidia"'. | 04:55 |
| ziroday | evilGUI: thats fine, then just ssh in as root | 04:55 |
| tritium | raz_-: Sounds like it's installed and being used. | 04:55 |
| raz_- | tritium, keep in mind that I just re-did the 'activate' thing. | 04:55 |
| martin_ | r | 04:55 |
| evilGUI | ziroday: But that fact that I setup lighthttpd, mysql and PHP as root is that going to come back to kill me? | 04:56 |
| _2 | evilGUI yes absolutely, reinstalls three or four times a weak until you get good at it, then never reinstall again. | 04:56 |
| raz_- | tritium, if I open the nvidia util, it tells me: "You do not appear to be using the NVidia X driver. Please edit your X configuration fiile (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart the X server". | 04:56 |
| tritium | raz_-: please check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log for some clues | 04:57 |
| _2 | so about dri ? | 04:57 |
| _2 | advice welcome, is there any reason to try to get dri working if i'm not the least interested in 3d ? | 04:58 |
| raz_- | tritium, I just did a "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and then ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X.. Seems that it is now working. As a side effect, the mouse pointer disappeared. I'll try restarting the whole thing to see how persistant it is. | 04:58 |
| pneves | list | 04:58 |
| redvamp128 | raz_-: usb mouse? or standard one? | 04:59 |
| raz_- | redvamp128, laptop touchpad. | 04:59 |
| _2 | ps2 probably raz_- | 05:00 |
| prince_jammys | _2: nah, grab a beer. dealing with that sounds like potential torture. | 05:00 |
| redvamp128 | raz_-: I found something the other night while I googled something else about restarting usb from prompt but I would not know where to begin with the touchpad | 05:00 |
| histo | redvamp128: controlled by X | 05:01 |
| _2 | prince_jammys can i skip the beer too. that sounds like torture too | 05:01 |
| histo | redvamp128: synaptics drivers. You could check lsmod but | 05:01 |
| prince_jammys | _2: ok, a glass of milk | 05:01 |
| histo | who knows with those things. | 05:01 |
| _2 | lactose yuch | 05:01 |
| * _2 looks for beer | 05:01 | |

| qcjn | hi, somebody suggested to add this to grub "title= Puppy Linux 4 root=(hd0,1) kernel=/pup4/vmlinuz ro quiet initrd= /pup4/initrd.gz | 05:02 |
| qcjn | so i can choose puppy at start up, beside ubuntu and Xp | 05:02 |
| _2 | seriously would there be any real use for dri other than 3d effects | 05:02 |
| _2 | ? | 05:02 |
| qcjn | but i wan,t to be sure before making changes to grub | 05:03 |
| redvamp128 | qcjn: let me check mine-- I have puppy installed | 05:04 |
| qcjn | redvamp128: thanks | 05:04 |
| redvamp128 | qcjn: this is what I have for mine-- you may want to add it to the end as an added cushion | 05:05 |
| redvamp128 | qcjn: title Puppy Linux 412 full install | 05:05 |
| redvamp128 | root (hd1,0) | 05:05 |
| redvamp128 | kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1 pmedia=atahd nosmp | 05:05 |
| qcjn | i can see the puppy files in my root, pup_410qcjn.sfs, pup_save-qcjn.2fs | 05:06 |
| aina | allow | 05:06 |
| qcjn | so it should be ok | 05:06 |
| redvamp128 | ahh | 05:06 |
| aina | allow | 05:06 |
| chu_ | I am using a custom theme, but it says "This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine '' is not installed" - Can I find out what theme engine this requires? | 05:07 |
| redvamp128 | qcjn: yes that looks right -- Mine is a full install though | 05:07 |
| qcjn | hum, how you did that, took a partition just for puppy ? | 05:07 |
| redvamp128 | qcjn: yes -- but I forgot that on my other system puppy runs in a directory-- | 05:08 |
| qcjn | redvamp128: how come you've got 2 times root | 05:09 |
| likuidsilence | can someone confirm this is a bug in 8.10 when mounting NFS shares ?? I get the following mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered | 05:09 |
| nickrud | chu_, in the gtkrc file for the theme, look for the engine declaration | 05:09 |
| redvamp128 | qcjn: let me pastebin it so you can see how it looks without the multiple lines | 05:10 |
| qcjn | ok | 05:10 |
| _2 | qcjn grub accepts a root path "(hd0,0)" and the kernel accepts a root path "root=/dev/root" | 05:10 |
| redvamp128 | qcjn: general pastebin - puppy - post number 1336822 <http://www.pastebin.ca/1336822> | 05:10 |
| histo | I keep losing consoles any way tot recover them? F1-F4 are gone just blinking cursor? | 05:10 |
| qcjn | ok | 05:11 |
| histo | After I log out they won't reset they jsut go to blinking cursor | 05:11 |
| redvamp128 | qcjn: though I think when 4.1.3 comes out will install that one inside a folder on that partiion. | 05:11 |
| histo | Its not showing anyone on the tty if I use the who command | 05:12 |
| fengshaun | hi everyone, how can I dim my screen? (sony laptop vgn-fj270) | 05:12 |
| chu_ | nickrud - where do I find this file? ~/.themes/<theme>/{gtk : gtk-2.0 : metacity-1} ? | 05:12 |
| _2 | histo init is supposed to respawn them, but if they respown too quickly they will be disabled for x=minutes >>> init 3 # should reset them | 05:12 |
| redvamp128 | fengshaun: should be a function key then another key (should be controlled by laptop bios) and not really ubuntu. | 05:12 |
| nickrud | chu_, it would be <themefolder>gkt-2.0/gtkrc | 05:12 |
| fengshaun | redvamp128: the func key doesn't work! | 05:13 |
| nickrud | chu_, erm, gtk-2.0/gtkrc obviously | 05:13 |
| _2 | histo or should i say changing runlevels should reset them. | 05:13 |
| chu_ | thanks nickrud | 05:13 |
| fengshaun | (it's software controlled I think) | 05:13 |
| chu_ | Yep, found it :) | 05:13 |
| redvamp128 | fengshaun: hold it down then look for a key that looks like a sun then beside that one should be the dim (you have to hold both down at the same time) | 05:13 |
| chu_ | engine "pixmap"? | 05:13 |
| nickrud | chu_, that's an engine,yes. the most commonly used one | 05:14 |
| fengshaun | redvamp128: hahaha that was noob language, but it doesn't work | 05:14 |
| nickrud | chu_, why your custom theme isn't finding it is another question | 05:14 |
| _2 | histo i think the default is five respawns in 30 seconds. but not sure. anyway, check the /var/log/messages for what might be causing it. | 05:14 |
| redvamp128 | fengshaun: what is the video card generally they have a setting for gamma which would do the same there | 05:14 |
| chu_ | there's two | 05:14 |
| chu_ | whoops | 05:14 |
| chu_ | there's two #module_paths | 05:15 |
| fengshaun | redvamp128: it's intel | 05:15 |
| hanasaki | what is in server vs desktop? what is the criteria for choosing ? | 05:15 |
| histo | _2: if I init a different run level how do I get back just sudo init 2 the init 5 or something? | 05:15 |
| qcjn | thanks, but i don't understand enough.. to play right now in grub..the line root, tells where is the root, Right ? | 05:15 |
| hanasaki | and what is "studio"? | 05:15 |
| _2 | histo by default runlevels 2 through 5 are exactly alike | 05:16 |
| histo | _2: well how do I switch to get this fixed? | 05:16 |
| _2 | sudo init [2,3,4,5] | 05:16 |
| histo | _2: nothing in /var/log/messages that seems relevant by the way | 05:16 |
| histo | _2: is there a command to see the current runlevel | 05:16 |
| _2 | histo if it's active syslog might also be relevant | 05:17 |

| fourpointfivetb | read an article stating desktop was easier to set up as a noob | 05:18 |
| * histo ouch | 05:18 | |
| histo | _2: ty that seems to have done the trick | 05:18 |
| redvamp128 | fengshaun: I am still looking be patient-- but I think Gamma is the settings generally that you can do it with software by moving the slider. | 05:18 |
| _2 | you are selcome | 05:18 |
| _2 | welcome maybe | 05:18 |
| fengshaun | redvamp128: where can I find that setting? | 05:19 |
| raz_- | tritium, it seems that after a reboot, I need to run "nvidia-xconfig" and then restart X.. I think it might have to do something with "configured video device" vs "device" section under xorg.conf -- What do you think? | 05:19 |
| _2 | never tryst commandw fron soneome that cant' tpye | 05:19 |
| fengshaun | I couldn't find it in the menues. | 05:19 |
| raz_- | and then restart X, for the driver to work again*. | 05:19 |
| martin_ | ffuuuu about http://pastebin.com/m52b0f7e8 | 05:19 |
| martin_ | bad concert | 05:19 |
| tritium | raz_-: I've never seen such a thing happen. No, that shouldn't be the problem. | 05:20 |
| _2 | histo you still need to find and fix that issue. just changing runlevels wont keep it from reoccuring | 05:20 |

| Sago | #mpc | 05:22 |
| redvamp128 | fengshaun: I have my onboard disabled-- but I did find gamma in the xorg file but I would back that one up before modifying - The default appears to be 1.0 but more than likely to get it dim would be 0.9 or 0.8 | 05:22 |
| qcjn | if i change grub, with what i,ve posted, is there a risk that i can't get back to ubuntu, if it's wrong ?? | 05:22 |
| markk^ | can anyone help perhaps? | 05:22 |
| fengshaun | redvamp128: ok, I will see what I can do. Thanks for your help =) | 05:22 |
| redvamp128 | fengshaun: that file is located /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:22 |
| cowbud | qcjn: you can always get back with a rescue cd | 05:22 |
| cowbud | shoooot | 05:22 |
| redvamp128 | fengshaun: make a backup copy of it first before messing with it | 05:23 |
| _2 | qcjn if you know anything about editing grub or using the grub prompt. then "NO" if you don't then yes. | 05:23 |
| markk^ | anyone? | 05:23 |
| fengshaun | redvamp128: yup, definitely! | 05:23 |
| fengshaun | redvamp128: thanks! | 05:23 |
| redvamp128 | fengshaun: that and it needs to be edited with sudo | 05:23 |
| redvamp128 | fengshaun: default gamma is 1.0 so go down no more than .5 | 05:23 |
| histo | _2: I think it had to do with updates that have been installed the system probably needs rebooted | 05:23 |
| _2 | qcjn what i'm saying is, if you know how to edit grub you can always change things at boot time as needed, and if you know how to use the grub prompt then you don't even need a menu.lst to boo. | 05:24 |
| _2 | boot | 05:24 |
| fengshaun | redvamp128: ok! =) | 05:24 |

| qcjn | _2 no don't really know anything about grub. I've played a bit in in to diminish the list of upgrade, and to stop it so i choose instead of startinf default after 10 second, but thats all | 05:26 |
| darkblue_B | uurrrgh | 05:26 |
| martin_ | hi | 05:27 |
| _2 | qcjn you can play with the grub shell while in the safty of the linux system to learn about it. in a terminal type "grub" and then enter help | 05:27 |
| qcjn | ok | 05:27 |
| darkblue_B | I cant trust minor updates ??! I thought linux was past this | 05:28 |
| cowbud | darkblue_B: probably need to be a bit more specific | 05:29 |

| histo | szrhawaii: your best bet is to go with a seperate /home thats what I do. That way if yous witch distros or reinstall what have you. You still have your docs etc... | 05:31 |

| c0rrupt0r | would it be a conflict if i found 3 different versions of linux-restricted-modules installed on my system? | 05:37 |

| silv3r_m001 | _2: what ? | 05:40 |
| rww | silv3r_m001: apt-cache search <packagename> will do it. Or do you specifically need to use apt-get? | 05:40 |
| _2 | silv3r_m001 use dpkg | 05:40 |
| cowbud | darkblue_B: and you always have /var/log/dpkg.log | 05:40 |
| TruthTaco | rww, well lets assume that my processor does support 64 bit... will things run faster in 64bit? | 05:40 |
| silv3r_m001 | _2: how to use dpkg ? | 05:41 |
| TruthTaco | ( i dont know if i does but i suppose i can check) | 05:41 |
| qcjn | _2: i didn't know that..i just tried grub in terminal and it work, and what you say is when my computer start, if i make escape + c , it will bring me there | 05:41 |
| _2 | silv3r_m001 dpkg -L package-name | 05:41 |
| silv3r_m001 | rww: I cant find this package called glib in synaptic package manager | 05:41 |
| rww | !info glib | 05:41 |
| _2 | silv3r_m001 or lower case -l | 05:41 |
| ubottu | Package glib does not exist in intrepid | 05:41 |
| rww | silv3r_m001: glib isn't a package name | 05:41 |
| silv3r_m001 | _2: how can I use a wildcard ? | 05:41 |
| lstarnes | silv3r_m001: look for libglib* | 05:42 |
| qcjn | _2: in the terminal, grub | 05:42 |
| Marts | http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2233878.ece | 05:42 |
| silv3r_m001 | rww: then ... I am trying to installed epiphany browser from source and it needs a higher version of glib than the one on my system | 05:42 |
| _2 | silv3r_m001 dpkg -l libc* | 05:42 |
| rww | TruthTaco: depends on what sort of things you do on your computer. some forms of math and scientific computing work faster; video editing might too. Other than that, probably not. 64-bit also (allegedly) has compatibility problems sometime (with flash, java, or hardware), but I haven't had that problem | 05:42 |
| darkblue_B | cowbud: http://dpaste.com/120428/ | 05:42 |
| silv3r_m001 | lstarnes: hmm let me check | 05:42 |
| darkblue_B | the last remove/install of netatalk I just did now.. | 05:42 |
| hat586 | this is my first time come here | 05:42 |
| TruthTaco | ah thanks, thats what i needed to know | 05:42 |
| _2 | qcjn yes. and at boot time. [esc] c for grub prompt which you have been looking at in the terminal. | 05:43 |
| darkblue_B | I probably blew away those special flags I set but I was going to try because it seems really broken.. :-( | 05:43 |
| rww | silv3r_m001: specifically which version? | 05:43 |
| _2 | qcjn i'll stop before i confuse you even more. | 05:43 |
| silv3r_m001 | _2: btw whats the difference between apt-get and dpkg ? | 05:43 |
| hat586 | time to having lunch | 05:43 |
| qcjn | _2: ok | 05:43 |
| ociugi | how to disable compiz | 05:43 |
| silv3r_m001 | rww: it needs 2.16.0 | 05:43 |
| silv3r_m001 | and my system has 2.0 | 05:43 |
| darkblue_B | AppleShare services make me happy to use Linux.. not having them makes me un-happy | 05:43 |
| lstarnes | silv3r_m001: apt can use online package databases and download packages from the internet but dpkg only works with packages that have already been downloaded or are in the local database | 05:44 |
| darkblue_B | Samba -> land of Mordor | 05:44 |
| _2 | silv3r_m001 apt-get fetches from the web and gets dependancise too dpkg installs/removes/lists local package-name apt is a frontend to dpkg | 05:44 |
| preston | wierd every since i updated my firefox when i open it it goes somewhat fullscreen any thoughts? | 05:44 |
| ociugi | rww: how to disable compiz? | 05:45 |
| lstarnes | silv3r_m001: what is the output of aptitude shjow libglib2.0-0 | grep Version? | 05:45 |
| silv3r_m001 | rww: in synaptic the installed version of libglib is 2.16 but the epiphany ./configure says that its 2.0 which is less than 2.16 | 05:45 |
| rww | ociugi: In GNOME? System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects > None | 05:45 |
| _2 | preston my thought would be, "use a real browser" but you don't want to hear that... | 05:46 |
| qcjn | _2: thanks | 05:46 |
| lstarnes | silv3r_m001: make sure you also have libglib2.0-dev installed | 05:46 |
| _2 | qcjn welcome | 05:46 |
| silv3r_m001 | lstarnes: hmm let me install that | 05:46 |
| c0rrupt0r | is there a way to find out what the last updates where made on a system? | 05:46 |
| ociugi | <rww> tnx | 05:46 |
| silv3r_m001 | lstarnes: its already installed | 05:46 |
| TruthTaco | one more question.... should i install the latest or 8.04.2 | 05:46 |
| TruthTaco | (ubuntu) | 05:46 |
| TruthTaco | is there that big a difference between them? | 05:47 |
| _2 | TruthTaco depends on your needs | 05:47 |
| _2 | TruthTaco yes. one is "LTS" the other is "latest" | 05:47 |
| Gnea | TruthTaco: 8.04.2 is LTS, 8.10 will be obsolete in 2 months | 05:47 |
| rww | TruthTaco: 8.10 is supported for 18 months. 8.04 is supported for 3 years (it's a long term release). | 05:47 |
| excalibas | _2, What is a real browser? | 05:47 |
| markk^ | anyone able to help-how can i scan an NTFS drive for errors?? | 05:47 |
| Gnea | !LTS | 05:47 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 05:47 |
| TruthTaco | ah | 05:48 |
| carpii | also if you want to use KDE, be aware that 8.10 will install kde 4.1.x and you cant use KDE 3.5 (which is the nice stable version) | 05:48 |
| TruthTaco | thanks | 05:48 |
| _2 | excalibas konqueror | 05:48 |
| carpii | personally id go for 8.04, fewer problems in general | 05:48 |
| TruthTaco | yea i think i will go with 8.04 | 05:48 |
| c0rrupt0r | is there a way to find out what the last updates where made on a system? | 05:48 |
| darkblue_B | carpii: except with netatlk and minor updates :-( | 05:49 |
| rdvonz | anyway to install suse11.1 from an ubuntu install w/o a cd? | 05:49 |
| silv3r_m001 | lstarnes: the epiphany ./configure says No package 'libgnome-2.0' found but libgnome is installed as I can see it in synaptic | 05:49 |
| rww | c0rrupt0r: you could try looking in /var/log/, especially /var/log/apt/term.log | 05:49 |
| _2 | c0rrupt0r look in the dpkg.log | 05:49 |
| rww | rdvonz: Ask in #suse | 05:49 |
| c0rrupt0r | ever since it had updated it has been using resources like crazy | 05:50 |
| Gnea | markk^: with the ntfsprogs package (ntfsfix), but it may not get all 100% errors fixed | 05:50 |
| rdvonz | rww: i'm using ubuntu atm. The linux version I'm going to install is irrelevant. | 05:50 |
| Gnea | markk^: you may yield better results if you use the ntfs-3g driver | 05:50 |
| _2 | rdvonz quite the contrarry | 05:50 |
| Gnea | rdvonz: on the same system or a different one? | 05:50 |
| silv3r_m001 | rww: the epiphany ./configure says No package 'libgnome-2.0' found but libgnome is installed as I can see it in synaptic | 05:50 |
| rww | rdvonz: You're trying to install SuSE. You need to ask the SuSE people how to do that. We don't provide support for SuSE installation. | 05:51 |
| rdvonz | Gnea: same system | 05:51 |
| _2 | rdvonz the target install is the only really relavent | 05:51 |
| Gnea | rdvonz: then you should ask in #suse | 05:51 |
| rdvonz | You. Don't. Understand. | 05:51 |
| darkblue_B | .. just tar'd up all my work and copying it my Mac, so I can get something done | 05:51 |
| Gnea | rdvonz: please explain then | 05:51 |
| markk^ | thanks Gnea , i appreciate it | 05:51 |
| matt2154 | Under Kubuntu, is it possible to make Firefox run with GTK widgets instead of Qt widgets? | 05:51 |
| _2 | rdvonz no. you don't understand. | 05:51 |
| Gnea | _2: let's hear him out... | 05:51 |
| rdvonz | how can I install a new linux dist without using a cd or any other physical media. | 05:52 |
| rdvonz | Say, ubuntu >.> | 05:52 |
| markk^ | err | 05:52 |
| markk^ | put it in a virtual machine | 05:52 |
| Gnea | yeah | 05:52 |
| Gnea | rdvonz: virtualbox or vmware would work, you could run both concurrently | 05:52 |
| rww | rdvonz: For Ubuntu, you'd either VM it or use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux | 05:52 |
| rdvonz | you can do it with windows. making a new grub profile or something. | 05:52 |
| ociugi | i already installed the w32codecs but the problem is still exist it play the video with sounds but no images. | 05:52 |
| matt2154 | I do a lot of netboot installs | 05:52 |
| markk^ | or perhaps wubi (if you can install from iso)? | 05:52 |
| SBBG | hey guys...i have just installed ubuntu on my laptop after vista..but sound is very bad...what i do? | 05:52 |
| _2 | rdvonz that question can only be answered by the people that suppor the install methoods of the target. not by the people that support the platform you start from. | 05:53 |
| Gnea | rdvonz: or as rww suggests - forgot about that one | 05:53 |
| Newbuntu2 | hello | 05:53 |
| ociugi | rww: i already installed the w32codecs but the problem is still exist it play the video with sounds but no images. | 05:53 |
| Brack10 | how can I disable the compiz fps limiter? sync to VBlank and increasing the refresh rate does not work. However when I do the benchmark tool and disable frame limiter, my performance increases literally 10 fold. Anyone? | 05:53 |
| histo | ociugi: what type of video? | 05:53 |
| rdvonz | thanks | 05:53 |
| ociugi | any type | 05:53 |
| Gnea | rdvonz: good luck | 05:53 |
| ociugi | histo: any type | 05:53 |
| rww | ociugi: Please direct your questions to the channel unless you're replying to someone who's helping you with your problem. | 05:53 |
| Newbuntu2 | Can someone point me to a guide for making a ubuntu liveUSB? I can't find it in the FAQ | 05:53 |
| histo | !codecs | ociugi | 05:53 |
| ubottu | ociugi: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 05:53 |

| Gnea | !usb | Newbuntu2 | 05:54 |
| Newbuntu2 | thanks! | 05:54 |
| SBBG | hey guys...i have just installed ubuntu on my laptop after vista..but sound is very bad...what i do?..any codec for sound | 05:54 |
| silv3r_m001 | hi there | 05:54 |
| Gnea | oops | 05:54 |
| _2 | rdvonz i personally don't mind supporting any distro. (and should probably be in ##linux) but what you are askind is a suse question, not at all a ubuntu question. | 05:54 |
| histo | SBBG: what doyou mean by sound is very bad? | 05:54 |
| Gnea | _2: we've already settled it | 05:54 |
| nsadmin | SBBG: whoever's going to help you will need specific details | 05:54 |
| rww | Brack10: You may want to ask in #compiz-fusion if you don't get an answer here. | 05:54 |
| markk^ | CRAP | 05:54 |
| Brack10 | rww: thanks | 05:54 |
| ociugi | rww: i understand | 05:55 |
| silv3r_m001 | a package was already installed from synaptic and I upgraded it compiling the source downloaded from the site.. now what happens to the one installed from synaptic ..is it overwritten ? | 05:55 |
| markk^ | gparted still show an exclamation mark next to /dev/sda2:((( | 05:55 |
| _2 | Gnea is that a "shut up" or what ? | 05:55 |
| Gnea | markk^: what did you do? | 05:55 |
| Gnea | _2: pretty much :) | 05:55 |
| rww | silv3r_m001: probably, yeah. Do you need instructions for reinstalling the Ubuntu package? | 05:55 |
| _2 | Gnea ok. | 05:55 |
| markk^ | well originally went to resize sda2, but it failed saying that i had not shutdown windows properly (xp / ubuntu dial boot) | 05:55 |
| Gnea | ... | 05:55 |
| markk^ | but i cant get back into XP BOOT_MGR NOT FOUND | 05:55 |
| markk^ | so i wanted to fix the ntfs partition and install ubuntu to the hdd, and worry about xp later | 05:56 |
| Gnea | markk^: were you trying to make sda2 bigger or smaller? | 05:56 |
| SBBG | histo: when i start playing video..video quality is fine but for sound first 5-6 seconds is fine but after that its like disturbance | 05:56 |
| markk^ | smaller | 05:56 |
| silv3r_m001 | rww: but will synaptic now be able to track the new version files ... since it still shows the old version | 05:56 |
| c0rrupt0r | ok i found out it there was a ppa repository added, and then it updated to linux-restricted-modules-common_2.6.27-12.17..now i go to synaptic's to remove that and its asking to remove all of them at once..what shall i do to get back to the older version i had? | 05:56 |
| rww | silv3r_m001: If you install or compile stuff manually, Synaptic and apt-get can't track it, no | 05:57 |
| nsadmin | isn't there a specific date? | 05:57 |
| matt2154 | Is it possible to make firefox use gnome widgets under KDE? | 05:57 |
| Gnea | markk^: resizing ntfs can be tricky - anytime that it gets errors like that, it should really be fixed using real windows tools before doing the actual resize.. | 05:57 |
| silv3r_m001 | rww: hmm....can it create any kind of issue or problem later ? | 05:57 |
| histo | SBBG: what like static? | 05:57 |
| histo | !sound > SBBG | 05:58 |
| ubottu | SBBG, please see my private message | 05:58 |
| markk^ | Gnea, i cant get into windows buddy | 05:58 |
| markk^ | it's a netbook, so no cd/dvd drive | 05:58 |
| markk^ | ive got a dvd enclosure coming so i can chuck an old dvdr in it, to make things like installing an os easier;) | 05:58 |
| markk^ | but i cant get to windows to fix the problems atm | 05:58 |
| matt2154 | markk: is there actually a problem with that partition, or did you just not do a clean shutdown from windows? | 05:59 |
| Gnea | markk^: hmmm.. do you have a second system? | 05:59 |
| markk^ | did not do a clean shutdown sir | 05:59 |
| markk^ | yea | 05:59 |
| silv3r_m001 | rww: and if I need to revert back to the ubuntu installed how do I do that ? | 05:59 |
| markk^ | ubuntu machine im on atm | 05:59 |
| rww | silv3r_m001: Sometimes, yes. If Ubuntu issues an updated version of the package, Synaptic/APT will try to update your computer with it, and you might end up with detritus from the compile-from-source. With libraries, though, you probably won't have an issue. | 05:59 |
| markk^ | and a laptop running ubuntu/gentoo | 05:59 |
| markk^ | :| | 05:59 |
| FloodBot1 | markk^: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:59 |
| SBBG | histo, yes alsa mixer selected..but sound is choppy | 05:59 |
| histo | markk^: What are you trying to do fix a ntfs drive? | 05:59 |
| rww | silv3r_m001: sudo apt-get remove --purge <package> && sudo apt-get install <package> | 05:59 |
| markk^ | histo, yea:) | 05:59 |
| histo | SBBG: check the message from ubottu with some tips for your sound issue | 06:00 |
| c0rrupt0r | there was a ppa repository added, and then it updated to linux-restricted-modules-common_2.6.27-12.17..now i go to synaptic's to remove that and its asking to remove all of them at once..what shall i do to get back to the older version i had? | 06:00 |
| silv3r_m001 | rww: also how can I uninstall a software which was installed using the ./configure make and make installed process ? | 06:00 |
| === _luis_lopez_ is now known as luis_lopez | ||
| histo | markk^: you need the fixmbr program of a windows cd. or you can use grub boot loader to boot the windows partition for the time being. | 06:00 |
| bpcomp | could someone help me recover my package manager please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/117925/ | 06:00 |
| rww | silv3r_m001: You'd need to ask the software's maintainers about that. The process tends to be different for different software. | 06:00 |
| histo | markk^: do you have thumb drive? | 06:00 |
| silv3r_m001 | rww: means no standard uninstall technique ? | 06:00 |
| markk^ | histo, yea im booted up into ubuntu on it atm - that's how i was booting ubuntu (as nc10 has no dvd drive) | 06:00 |
| nsadmin | silv3r_m001: look at the install log, try to figure out what files were installed and remove each. should take an hour or two | 06:01 |
| rww | silv3r_m001: correct. It's one of the reasons we don't recommend installing programs manually | 06:01 |
| markk^ | then i planned to install to the hdd, but in the meantime, the xp went wrong! | 06:01 |
| silv3r_m001 | rww: and thats why synaptic is used..... | 06:01 |
| silv3r_m001 | nsadmin: removing all files is enough ... | 06:01 |
| histo | markk^: what went wrong with the xp boot loader error or seomthing? | 06:01 |
| rww | silv3r_m001: correct, because the package system makes it easy to uninstall stuff. | 06:01 |
| nsadmin | or maybe you're lucky and the makefile has an uninstall target... read the makefile and see | 06:02 |
| markk^ | histo, after i attempted to resize the drive and it failed, rebooted and it just says BOOT MGR NOT FOUND, when I boot off the first drive :( | 06:02 |
| rww | markk^: As far as I know, Linux's NTFS tools don't have a filesystem checker. The consensus is that if you're using NTFS, which is a closed, proprietary system owned by Microsoft, you should be using Microsoft's tools to make sure it's working. | 06:02 |
| WebcamWonder | !backup | 06:02 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 06:02 |
| WebcamWonder | !factoid | 06:02 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 06:02 |
| histo | markk^: on a windows cd there is a utility called fixmbr that will rewrite the mbr of the drive so that it will hit the boot.ini | 06:03 |
| histo | !botabuse > WebcamWonder | 06:03 |
| ubottu | WebcamWonder, please see my private message | 06:03 |
| bemuse | org | 06:03 |
| WebcamWonder | histo: Yeah, I know. I forgot :) | 06:03 |
| _shadow_ | best way I heard of backing up ur system is to just tar most of whats in / and then untar them on a fresh install | 06:03 |
| histo | markk^: the other option is that you install grub ont he drive and point it at the windowspartition | 06:03 |
| nsadmin | still, that message (about making backups) could be public service | 06:04 |
| histo | markk^: to see if that will help. Then you can boot windows defrag shutdown and resize. | 06:04 |
| markk^ | i think the second grub option would be better, as i have no cd drive atm | 06:04 |
| silv3r_m001 | rww: now what is this... I have gnome desktop and in synaptic the gnome-desktop-environment package is not installed ? | 06:04 |
| markk^ | im thinking i could do that, im in ubuntu atm, I can setup grub from the terminal iirc? | 06:04 |
| owen1 | my FF beeps when i scoll with page+down and hit the bottom. can I silent it? | 06:04 |
| WebcamWonder | Does anyone remember what is the way to generate the list of currently installed softwares, so that I can install them later if I choose so? | 06:04 |
| thechris | I've bricked apt | 06:04 |
| rww | silv3r_m001: the gnome-desktop-enviroment is a metapackage that depends on gnome's various desktop package. Ubuntu generally installs the ubuntu-desktop package instead, which leaves out some GNOME tools (like Liferea, I think) and installs Ubuntu customizations. | 06:05 |
| Sarthor | Routing for multiple uplinks / providers.... My question is here.. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/routing-for-multiple-uplinks-providers-703789/ | 06:05 |
| bpcomp | I tried to install a brother printer but there was an error during the install. Now I can't install or uninstall anything. could somebody please help me get rid of this brother printer driver | 06:05 |
| thechris | i can't install/remove apps because i have unmet dependencies that i can't fix without removing or install apps that | 06:05 |
| rww | WebcamWonder: I think the factoid for it was !clone, but if I remember correctly, the commands in it don't work right. | 06:05 |
| histo | data on the disk in ubuntu? | 06:05 |
| c0rrupt0r | how would i go back from a newer linux-restricted-modules-common to my last one i had? | 06:05 |
| markk^ | histo, can i do the grub option from the current session (live session off the usb boot disk) | 06:05 |
| nsadmin | thechris: perhaps you have a mixed system? | 06:05 |
| histo | markk^: can you see data on the disk in ubuntu? | 06:05 |
| _shadow_ | use sudo apt-get update | 06:06 |
| markk^ | on the boot disk? besides the startup disks, nothing | 06:06 |
| markk^ | oh the ntfs, yes | 06:06 |
| rww | WebcamWonder: I guess you could try them and see. If they don't give you an error, you should be okay. | 06:06 |
| thechris | nsadmin: explain more | 06:06 |
| chu_ | I downloaded a theme engine, but I can't seem to install it? | 06:06 |
| histo | markk^: k well the data is safe yeah you should be able to install grub from the live session. | 06:06 |
| histo | !grub | markk^ | 06:06 |
| ubottu | markk^: 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 | 06:06 |
| nsadmin | multiple versions of ubuntu won't work together well | 06:06 |
| WebcamWonder | rww: Yeah, found them. Lets see if they work or not. Thans | 06:06 |
| thechris | nsadmin: no, thats actually the only solution i've found to installing kde4.2 | 06:06 |
| histo | markk^: ahh you have no grub boot disk. | 06:06 |
| markk^ | i have a question, probably obvious, /dev/sda2 has windows, is that where i install grub to then? | 06:06 |
| nsadmin | so you do have a mixed system | 06:07 |
| WebcamWonder | rww: Yup, doesn't work anymore. Invalid regex | 06:07 |
| thechris | nsadmin: no. but if i did, it wouldn't have this specific issue | 06:07 |
| nsadmin | is kde 4.2 available in the version of ubuntu you have installed? | 06:07 |
| rww | WebcamWonder: on which command? The first or the second? | 06:07 |
| thechris | nsadmin: basically, i installed kde4.2 from ubuntu 8.10. which is horrible on the menus. so i tried 4.2 from kubuntu. which fails and bricks kde | 06:08 |
| dinesh372 | i stucked with the installation of network simulator at the last stage can anyone help | 06:08 |
| bpcomp | is there a better channel for asking package manager specific question? | 06:08 |
| WebcamWonder | rww: The first command, but I found a native solution. dpkg --get-selections, achieves exactly the same thing, without parsing | 06:08 |
| rww | bpcomp: not really, no | 06:08 |
| thechris | nsadmin: I've follow, as best I can, the instructions on kubuntu.com. but the details are sketchy | 06:08 |
| c0rrupt0r | how would i go back from a newer linux-restricted-modules to an older version? | 06:08 |
| thechris | nsadmin: eg, I have no idea what plasmoids, if any, are installed by default | 06:08 |
| nsadmin | probably you're going to have to uninstall all the kde things and try to install stuff again | 06:08 |
| bpcomp | rww: could you take a loo at this then please http://paste.ubuntu.com/117925/ | 06:09 |
| thechris | nsadmin: i cant uninstall anything | 06:09 |
| ste-foy | Hello I' wana know to my x-chat can read .wav sound, and sorry for my bad English ? | 06:09 |
| thechris | nsadmin: actually, what command would you suggest for uninstall? | 06:09 |
| nsadmin | thechris: yes you can... get familiar with dpkg: dpkg --help to start with | 06:09 |
| rww | bpcomp: It's complaining that /etc/init.d/lpd doesn't exist. You could try issuing the following command: sudo touch /etc/init.d/lpd | 06:10 |
| histo | markk^: you could also make a super grub boot disk on the usb drive | 06:10 |
| rww | WebcamWonder: Awesome :) | 06:10 |
| WebcamWonder | rww: If you have the admin priv., you might want to update it :) | 06:10 |
| bpcomp | rww: I manually checked the folder and lpd doesn't exist | 06:10 |

| nsadmin | the day dpkg can't be used to uninstall packages (and to install them) is the day ubuntu breaks its status as "based on debian" | 06:12 |
| ali2 | www styleleathergarmenets.com | 06:12 |
| thechris | nsadmin: hmm, that might help. any suggestions on how to manually resolve such dependency issus | 06:12 |
| histo | markk^: your problem is that linux isn't installed thought at least from what I understand. | 06:12 |
| markk^ | yea | 06:12 |
| markk^ | that's correct | 06:12 |
| nsadmin | thechris: first step: find out what they are | 06:12 |
| c0rrupt0r | how would i go back from a newer linux-restricted-modules-common to an older version? | 06:12 |
| rww | ali2: don't do that here | 06:12 |
| chu_ | How do I install a gtk+ theme? I have the file downloaded.... | 06:12 |

| WebcamWonder | rww: Ahh, cool. I will see if I can do that once I am finished getting Intrepid installed :) | 06:12 |
| thechris | nsadmin: so, it seems ksysguard relies on libplasma3, which cannot be installed with kde4.2 | 06:13 |
| bpcomp | rww: what permissions should I give it? | 06:13 |
| thechris | nsadmin: but i'm not sure I'm parsing the errors correctly | 06:13 |
| test904alph | 00:05.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2600 802.11 MIMO Help please | 06:14 |
| thechris | nsadmin: eg, it says ksysgaurd has unmet dependencies -- depends libplasma3 but it's not going to be installed | 06:14 |
| c0rrupt0r | hmmm guess no answer lol | 06:14 |
| nsadmin | try dpkg --purge ksysgaurd | 06:14 |
| histo | markk^: the only way I see of fixing this then is adding some utilities to your thumb drive. | 06:14 |
| histo | markk^: this is also why ntfs sucks | 06:14 |
| SBBG | hey guys my sound is very choppy..kindly help | 06:15 |
| SBBG | histo: when i start playing video..video quality is fine but for sound first 5-6 seconds is fine but after that its like disturbance | 06:15 |
| rww | bpcomp: huh, that's odd. Try chmod 777 /etc/init.d/lpd, then remember to delete the file when the uninstall is done: rm /etc/init.d/lpd | 06:15 |
| markk^ | i could perhaps install ubuntu to a usb drive and edit menu.lst once i have ubuntu on | 06:15 |
| thechris | nsadmin: so, it says kubuntu-desktop depends on ksysguard, and it won't remove it | 06:15 |
| Gnea | markk^: there is another way, although it's going to require some work on your part... have you ever setup a netboot? | 06:15 |
| rww | !ubuntu-desktop | thechris | 06:15 |
| markk^ | nope, i had been trying to get tftp boot working, but i kept getting E11 ARP TIMEOUT ! | 06:15 |
| ubottu | thechris: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 06:15 |
| nsadmin | thechris: add kubuntu-desktop to the command | 06:16 |
| dinesh372 | network simulator help | 06:16 |
| nsadmin | and keep adding as it tells you more deps | 06:16 |
| bpcomp | rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117928/ | 06:16 |
| SBBG | hey guys...i have just installed ubuntu on my laptop after vista..but sound is very bad...what i do?..any codec for sound | 06:16 |
| thechris | nsadmin: hmm, that helped. | 06:16 |
| Gnea | !ask | dinesh372 | 06:16 |
| ubottu | dinesh372: 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. :-) | 06:16 |
| WebcamWonder | During the installation, the installer would let me shrink my NTFS, so I can specify what size I want right? | 06:16 |
| c0rrupt0r | how would i go back from a newer linux-restricted-modules-common to my last one i had? | 06:16 |
| Aeonis | Hey everyone! | 06:16 |
| Aeonis | I could use some help. | 06:16 |
| histo | markk^: or you could boot the thumb drive now hit e and enter grub options to boot the master disk | 06:17 |
| markk^ | oh | 06:17 |
| markk^ | that sounds easiest of all | 06:17 |
| Aeonis | I'm on 2 diff laptops here and I can't seem to get the wireless to work. I have it setup just like this laptop, but the connection is showing "never" and I can't turn it on. | 06:17 |

| dr3w_ | hey guys where do i find Compiz Config Settings Manager in gnome? | 06:17 |
| rww | !ccsm | dr3w_ | 06:18 |

| dinesh372 | Gnea: http://www.nsnam.org/ | 06:19 |
| bpcomp | rww: I know this is weird but what we just did fixed my main problem | 06:19 |
| histo | markk^: see if you can get to a grub command line on from your thumb drive | 06:19 |
| nsadmin | thechris you might want to run dpkg --configure --pending before you proceed | 06:19 |
| histo | markk^: grub> | 06:19 |
| dinesh372 | Gnea : its not the part of ubuntu package but i want to install it in ubuntu | 06:19 |
| rww | bpcomp: Heh. So things are working now? Or do you still have problems? | 06:19 |
| bpcomp | rww: every time I tried to install updates or anything new, remove old programs etc it couldn't proceed because of the brother printer drivers being in an error state | 06:20 |
| thechris | nsadmin: well, i think now i'm at the praying part. I've already started teh upgrade. | 06:20 |
| histo | markk^: if you can do that I can prolly get it going. | 06:20 |

| Gnea | dinesh372: okay, you'll need to install some development (-dev) packages, it looks like... here, it's asking for tcl 8.4, so if you do this: apt-cache search tcl 8.4 | 06:39 |
| Doitle | It took me a while to figure out q exits man pages :P | 06:39 |
| Dr_Willis | mib_k6kyh3, man pages are using 'more' or 'less' :) the q key command quits that program | 06:39 |
| lstarnes | histo: also, try /set bell_beeps ON | 06:39 |
| Gnea | dinesh372: then you can find the package you need, install it, and try again | 06:39 |
| HLM111 | can I ask for sound assistance in #alsa? or this channel only? | 06:39 |
| Dr_Willis | 'man more' or 'man less' for details :) | 06:39 |
| mib_k6kyh3 | i was trying crtl-c | 06:39 |
| nsadmin | Doitle, mib_k6kyh3: man uses less, and the q exits from less | 06:40 |
| Gnea | mib_k6kyh3: q for quit :) | 06:40 |
| mib_k6kyh3 | yea | 06:40 |
| nsadmin | HLM111: both is probably fine | 06:40 |

| Gnea | !anyone | 06:40 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 06:40 |
| HLM111 | I found a youtube video for testing sound, and its not woking | 06:40 |
| histo | lstarnes: hrm.. that was off | 06:41 |
| lstarnes | histo: it's off by default | 06:41 |
| Gnea | !sound | HLM111 | 06:41 |
| ubottu | HLM111: 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 | 06:41 |

| TriadDraykin | I have a very poor connection. If this isn't the place to find help with installing or running Ubunutu 8.10, could someone kindly point me in the direction of where I might get such assistance? | 09:10 |

| doc` | ok i have two connections, one wireless and one wired, can i use them as one (ubuntu 8.10) | 09:11 |
| nsadmin | so eth1 is your outgoing interface; it doesn't look like eth0 has anything in the routing table | 09:11 |
| DoomsDave | doc`, what do you mean by use them as one? | 09:11 |
| doc` | well kind of combine them so i get better speed | 09:11 |
| taz | bigvrovar: i can see it some of them . it said gtk-recordmydestktop crash.log and .gtk-recordmydesktop do u want me deteled it both ?? | 09:11 |
| doc` | im not sure its possible | 09:12 |
| taz | bigbvrovar: .gtk-bookmarks too | 09:12 |
| doc` | and if one works bad i have the other as backup | 09:12 |
| greaser | eth1 is wan and eth0 is lan, thats how i have them connected | 09:12 |
| TriadDraykin | Understood. I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed, and when I try to load it from boot, it freezes shortly after the back-and-forth on the loading bar stops, and it begins moving left-to-right | 09:12 |
| DoomsDave | there's probably some kind of load balancing thing you could do. are they connected to two different internet connections? | 09:12 |
| bigbrovar | taz> nooo leave the .gtk-bookmarkv | 09:12 |
| doc` | yes i think so | 09:13 |
| jim_p | how do i stop the nm service from running? | 09:13 |
| nsadmin | greaser could you pastebin output of ifconfig | 09:13 |
| doc` | not entierly sure tho | 09:13 |
| nsadmin | jim_p: osm | 09:13 |
| nsadmin | err | 09:13 |
| bigbrovar | taz> can you email me the crach log bigbrovar at gmail dot com | 09:13 |
| DoomsDave | doc`, if they're both ultimately connected to the same internet connection like your cable or dsl or whatever, then you arent going to pick up any speed | 09:13 |
| nsadmin | jim_p: isn't nm have to do with samba? | 09:13 |
| greaser | http://pastebin.com/de763ed9 | 09:13 |

| jim_p | nsadmin, nm = network manager | 09:14 |
| doc` | but i think it should be different | 09:14 |
| bigbrovar | taz> i meant email be the crashlog | 09:14 |

| joot | Triad, how much ram do you have | 09:23 |
| test | you can use NVU its my favorite one | 09:23 |
| nsadmin | greaser: but you could try editing eth0 to give it an ipv4 addr... howbout 192.168.1.1 | 09:23 |
| elky | quanta+ is a more advanced development platform, but nvu/kompozer is sufficient for anyone coming from dreamweaver | 09:24 |

| gordonjcp | illumin8: ah, does it do that weird streaming stuff all the time whether you want it to or not thing? | 09:42 |
| trollboy | nsadmin? Does that mean anything to you | 09:42 |
| illumin8 | gordonjcp, exactly, its infinatly connected | 09:42 |
| hatten | ximo: i had the same problem | 09:43 |
| nsadmin | trollboy: yeah, it speaks to ubuntu's parent | 09:43 |
| trollboy | right, but how does that tell me what version I'm running? | 09:43 |
| illumin8 | gordonjcp, i ran one on a dsl service i had a while back and it put me into "status" which basicly filters and reduces your bandwidth till its offline | 09:43 |
| nsadmin | it doesn't | 09:43 |
| KillGuta | typeliviu BRB schimb ircul pe x-chat :D | 09:43 |

| gordonjcp | illumin8: I was surprised to find that the Wii keeps pretty quiet most of the time, unless it's looking for updates | 09:44 |
| alarm_ | hello. my ubuntu boots up really slow. it takes something like 5 minutes to finish with booting and log in | 09:44 |
| gordonjcp | illumin8: and it only seems to do that if you ask it | 09:44 |
| alarm_ | what could i check to see whats wrong and why does it take so long. i dont find it a normal time (compared to debian) | 09:44 |
| nsadmin | trollboy: oh, I was under the impression the ubuntu devs would alter that file to state what version it is | 09:44 |
| illumin8 | Ricket, your best bet is a fresh install of 32 bit | 09:44 |
| alarm_ | i am using a laptop. 2.5 dual core. 4gb ram . nvidia8600 | 09:44 |
| nsadmin | maybe they don't know about that file | 09:44 |
| alarm_ | hdd on laptops are not the fastest, but this doesnt explain the low boot up time | 09:44 |
| KillGutza | Wonder why they didn't make x-chat preinstalled in ubuntu :D | 09:44 |
| nsadmin | and maybe they don't know about /etc/network/interfaces either | 09:44 |
| alarm_ | not at those levels at least. i disabled all unneeded daemons and servers that i did not need allready, like ppp, or bluetooth, printers etc | 09:45 |
| gordonjcp | KillGutza: doesn't pidgin do IRC? | 09:45 |

| theriel | the line in i don't have anything to test it with. | 09:59 |
| mouseless | theriel, weird. but why are you plugging powered speakers to a headphone jack? | 09:59 |
| DoomsDave | it's probably the only audio output there is | 10:00 |
| doc` | ok, have some problems with usb speakers, every time i restart my computer i have to unplug them and run pkill -9 pulseaudio and pulseaudio --daemon and then plug them in | 10:00 |

| burkmat | Imaginativeone, Is the Ubuntu box running Samba? | 12:32 |
| nabilmalik | Dear All, yesterday I ran the updates on my Ubuntu 8.1 and upon restart, the grub only had the memtest option by default.. After some effort, i decided to reinstall ubuntu 8.1. The reinstall went all fine, but then after updating the system, every thins is very slow. Even opening the terminal takes time. Do you think that it can be because of the new kernel that was installed, and is not... | 12:32 |
| nabilmalik | ...compatible with my hardware? Please suggest.. Thanks. | 12:32 |
| marko_ | burkmat, i just had a look at the statistics and it seems i have downloaded at least 800MB which is nothing near what it's showing what i've actually downloaded...but i cant seem to see any erros in the logs | 12:33 |
| rottenkid | danbhfive, still the same | 12:33 |
| burkmat | marko_, Hmm... Are you sure you're the one who's been downloading? Running a WiFi network or maybe someone "borrowed" the computer? | 12:33 |
| Imaginativeone | burkmat: the ubuntu machine is running Samba version 3.2.3 | 12:33 |
| Imaginativeone | nabilmalik: I missed it | 12:34 |
| ml | gnome won't accept the ogg file for system sound? | 12:34 |

| danbhfive | rottenkid: I dunno, sorry | 12:34 |
| BM8270 | nabilmalik: what did u choose to install/update? | 12:34 |
| burkmat | Imaginativeone, Well, I'm not too familiar with Samba, but did you try just Start -> Run -> \\IP_of_sambabox\ ? | 12:34 |
| rottenkid | danbhfive, thanks anyway | 12:35 |

| illumin8 | Ryzzan, I see what you mean, i actually have questions about it myself, was windows installed after ubuntu? | 12:41 |
| Ryzzan | illumin8, yes... it was | 12:41 |
| Imaginativeone | whooperdoo: no luck | 12:41 |
| illumin8 | Ryzzan, windows installs to the mbr and if it cannot due to being on the back end partitions it could create boot.ini issues, basicly it would need to be installed on the first partiion. | 12:41 |
| BM8270 | nabilmalik: intruiging to know that a full update can mess up things... | 12:42 |
| Imaginativeone | I don't even get an authentication box | 12:42 |

| whooperdoo | Imaginativeone: restart samba | 12:42 |
| illumin8 | Ryzzan, my recommendation would be to resintall windows to the first partion, then go about ubuntu afterwards, this allows grub to read the local files and create the proper menu for them automagicly | 12:42 |
| kolby | kickass | 12:43 |
| kolby | sorry | 12:43 |

| anouar | danbhfive: is compiz now as good as mac os fancy stuff? | 13:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Viper111: To begin with, if you want to prevent outgoing *and* incoming you'll need two rules | 13:05 |
| Ryzzan | arvind_khadri, already did it... didn't work | 13:05 |
| Ryzzan | arvind_khadri, i think we have to concentrate at the fact that grub doesnt recognize the device! | 13:06 |
| arvind_khadri | Ryzzan, did you try re-installing grub | 13:06 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Viper111: To prevent outgoing, match the LAN ethernet interface (eth1 ?) , TCP, and destination port (1863) | 13:06 |
| danbhfive | anouar: I dunno. you just mean awn? I just so happen to have been looking into that stuff, but I find all the graphics annoying | 13:06 |
| Ryzzan | arvind_khadri, could u try something for me? | 13:07 |
| illumin8 | arvind_khadri, the ideals i tried with him were to change rootnoverify to root, also tried to remove makeactive, and adjusted the chainloader +1 to chainloader (hd0,4)+1 none of them seemed to work | 13:07 |
| arvind_khadri | Ryzzan, sure... re-install grub... | 13:07 |
| arvind_khadri | illumin8, did you make him re-install grub? | 13:07 |
| illumin8 | arvind_khadri, thats when you stepped in :) | 13:07 |
| illumin8 | arvind_khadri, so no not yet. | 13:08 |
| arvind_khadri | illumin8, oh ok... :) | 13:08 |
| Ryzzan | arvind_khadri, first try this... tell in what device is your ubuntu booting | 13:08 |
| arvind_khadri | Ryzzan, shoot up the terminal and run sudo grub | 13:08 |
| Ryzzan | arvind_khadri, that's what i was going to ask you... to get in ur grub shell | 13:08 |
| Ryzzan | cuz mine doesn't recognize any disk! | 13:09 |
| danbhfive | illumin8: Ryzzan: that makeactive directive apparently won't work: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/makeactive.html#makeactive | 13:09 |
| arvind_khadri | Ryzzan, ok you got in?? now type find /boot/grub/menu.lst | 13:09 |
| arvind_khadri | Ryzzan, sorry | 13:09 |
| arvind_khadri | Ryzzan, ok you got in?? now type find /boot/grub/stage1 | 13:09 |
| illumin8 | danbhfive, thanks, i saw it on a forum once, and thought it might work in that case | 13:09 |
| arvind_khadri | Ryzzan, what does it return? | 13:10 |
| Ryzzan | arvind_khadri, (hd0,6) | 13:11 |

| Pirate_Hunter | hi my xubuntu has crashed and im getting IO errors with fsck, i am using dsl live cd to try and recover some data to another partition, however when i mount hda it says it doesnt recognise jfs extesion, is there a command to force the partition to be mounted while ignoring the extension type? | 13:12 |
| arvind_khadri | Ryzzan, setup (hd0) | 13:12 |
| Like | ~~~~~*~~~~**~~ | 13:12 |
| arvind_khadri | Pirate_Hunter, i dont think dsl supports jfs... btw sudo mount -t jfs /dev/xxx /msnt | 13:13 |
| ryzzan_ | arvind_khadri, had a problem here | 13:13 |
| illumin8 | dsl does not support jfs for sure. | 13:13 |
| ryzzan_ | arvind_khadri, what now? | 13:13 |
| arvind_khadri | ryzzan_, what happens? did you do setup (hd0) | 13:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | arvind_khadri, ahhh i'll try but hope you're wrong | 13:14 |
| Viper111 | IntuitiveNipple i made it drop everything that port destination is 1863 | 13:14 |
| arvind_khadri | Pirate_Hunter, all the best :) | 13:14 |
| ryzzan_ | arvind_khadri, did it... want me to post result? | 13:14 |
| arvind_khadri | ryzzan_, no...it should be spitting a lot of text ... after that type quit | 13:14 |
| ryzzan_ | arvind_khadri, did it | 13:15 |
| ryzzan_ | arvind_khadri, what now? | 13:15 |
| arvind_khadri | ryzzan_, reboot and check | 13:15 |
| ryzzan_ | arvind_khadri, have a question before it... | 13:15 |
| arvind_khadri | ryzzan_, ask :) | 13:16 |
| ryzzan_ | arvind_khadri, y when in grub shell, if i try /root (hd0,4), it doesnt recognizes it? | 13:16 |
| arvind_khadri | ryzzan_, root (hd0,x) is used for that partition which has your /boot .... hd0,4 is your windows partition | 13:17 |
| ryzzan_ | arvind_khadri, actually it recognized now! | 13:17 |
| ryzzan_ | arvind_khadri, bless u! | 13:17 |
| ryzzan_ | uhuheuehuehueh | 13:17 |
| ryzzan_ | arvind_khadri, guess it's gonna work now | 13:17 |
| arvind_khadri | ryzzan_, so is windows booting ?? | 13:17 |
| ryzzan_ | arvind_khadri, gonna try it now | 13:17 |
| ryzzan_ | arvind_khadri, i'll be back | 13:17 |
| arvind_khadri | ryzzan_, ok all the best | 13:18 |
| illumin8 | arvind_khadri, to recap, you had him designate his ubuntu as root, then had him run setup(hd0) to reinstall grub? | 13:18 |
| ryzzan_ | exit | 13:18 |
| ryzzan_ | uehueh | 13:18 |
| arvind_khadri | illumin8, ya... because the MBR resides at the first boot sector of the drive | 13:18 |
| illumin8 | arvind_khadri, thanks, ill note that for future refrence :) | 13:18 |
| arvind_khadri | illumin8, its ok :) | 13:19 |

| burkmat | alexb92, So when you say "use the internet", you mean Firefox? | 13:50 |
| btQuark | maybe you do have an idea how that correlation can be made? | 13:50 |

| burkmat | btQuark, lspci maybe? | 13:50 |
| alexb92 | firefox, epihpany anything really | 13:50 |
| alexb92 | i can use xtraceroute to ping things and use terminal | 13:51 |
| [nrx] | Imaginativeone, type "uname -n" or "hostname" in a terminal window | 13:51 |
| btQuark | burkmat: the first part is lspci output | 13:51 |
| alexb92 | its just i cant use a web browser becoz firefox seems to hog it if u know what i mean | 13:51 |
| alexb92 | and synaptic wont run becoz it dodes initialise or something like that | 13:51 |
| burkmat | btQuark, Sorry, maybe I'm misunderstanding you... You want to link lspci to lsusb to see what's where? | 13:51 |
| alexb92 | and tells me to type in configure--a into terminal | 13:51 |
| btQuark | lspci delivers the list of pci-devices, lspci delivers the list of usb devices, they have different bus numberings and i need to know which usb-bus sits on which pci device | 13:51 |
| alexb92 | which i type and it doesnt even do anything | 13:52 |
| btQuark | burkmat: more or less exactly that | 13:52 |
| Jeruvy | btQuark: maybe sudo lshw will give you more details. | 13:52 |
| burkmat | alexb92, What error do you get when trying to start firefox? | 13:52 |
| illumin8 | faz, see this website for the exact commands. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/cant-change-keyboard-layout-in-ubuntu-8.04-login-screen-637811/ | 13:52 |
| alexb92 | initialisation failes | 13:52 |
| alexb92 | failed* | 13:52 |
| burkmat | btQuark, ah... been trying to do that myself for a while, but never figured it out. feel free to share if you find a way :) | 13:52 |
| btQuark | burkmat: lshw looks interesting | 13:53 |

| sammyF | hey there. I just installed xubuntu8.10 on my Acer Aspire One. Network (eth0) worked fine out of the box before I did all the updates. since I updated and rebooted I can connect to the network by using a fix IP address, but I can't even ping other computers on the network (let alone the router). /etc/network/interfaces is okay, ifconfig tells me eth0 is there and configured (with lots of dropped packets though). any idea? | 13:54 |
| xukun | letalis, when I have a wav file and I need to see all the rummbers in the wav, can I do that with amarok? | 13:54 |
| sammyF | xukun: rummbers? | 13:54 |
| Jeruvy | sammyF: sounds like no route. Test. Ping your router, ping another pc on the router, then ping your routers gateway. | 13:55 |
| burkmat | sammyF, Why not use dhcp? | 13:55 |
| sammyF | Jeruvy: only thing I can ping is myself. | 13:55 |
| * |amadeus| pokes less | 13:55 | |
| xukun | sammyF, sorry I mean numbers or songs | 13:55 |
| Jeruvy | sammyF: then you have no route, check your settings in /etc/network/interfaces and the router | 13:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | im running recovery shell but everytime i try mounting /dev/hda2/ it gives it is not in fstab blah blah blah ok how do i force it to mount through recovery? | 13:56 |
| sammyF | burkmat: nm tries to get a dynamic IP but gives up after some time | 13:56 |
| xukun | letalis, when I have a wav file and I need to see all the numbers or songs in the wav, can I do that with amarok? | 13:56 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 13:56 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 13:56 |
| lorenzosu | How can I avoid being asked for (user) password at each reboot for connecting to WPA WiFi? | 13:56 |
| [nrx] | love a good old netsplit | 13:56 |
| sammyF | xukun: you mean the content of the file? use audacity for that | 13:56 |
| Chousuke | Pirate_Hunter: there's no need to force mount it; your mount command is just incomplete | 13:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Chousuke, hmmm what is missing? | 13:57 |
| Chousuke | Pirate_Hunter: just "mount /dev/hda2" is not enough | 13:57 |
| burkmat | sammyF, Hmm... Are you sure everything is working properly on the router end then? Can you connect to anything? | 13:57 |
| Chousuke | Pirate_Hunter: (note that it's not /dev/hda2/ ) | 13:57 |
| sammyF | burkmat, Jeruvy: router is fine (using it from another computer right now), | 13:57 |
| Chousuke | Pirate_Hunter: first you need to create a target directory to mount to, for example, /mnt/mydisk | 13:58 |
| sammyF | burkmat: Jeruvy, and if I reboot the AA1 from the usb stick install, the network actually WORKS | 13:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Chousuke, huh if not what would it be sorry im lost i just want to move data from the partition so i can reformat the disk | 13:58 |
| sammyF | burkmat: Jeruvy, it jsut went borked after I updated xubuntu tonight :/ | 13:58 |
| xukun | sammyF, yes I think that is what I mean, so I need to use audacity first and then amarok to import files? | 13:58 |
| Chousuke | Pirate_Hunter: then mount -t filesystemtype /dev/hda2 /mnt/mydisk | 13:58 |
| Chousuke | Pirate_Hunter: where filesystemtype is the type of the filesystem on the partition | 13:58 |
| sammyF | xukun: depends on what you want to do with the file. If you want to edit it, yes | 13:58 |
| Chousuke | Pirate_Hunter: for example, ext3 or vfat | 13:59 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Chousuke, hmmm is it necessary to mention the filesystem on mount? will try still | 13:59 |
| Chousuke | Pirate_Hunter: sometimes it can be automounted | 13:59 |
| Chousuke | er | 13:59 |
| Chousuke | autodetected* | 13:59 |

| [nrx] | anyone running ubuntu on a mac? | 14:00 |
| d_ | hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 x64 on a dell studio desktop 540, but the installer will not recognize the cd-rom drive (SATA) so the install doesn't proceed (it asks me to load drivers from a floppy, which is kinda hard as 1) I don't have a floppy drive, and 2) I don't know where to get the drivers). Any help? | 14:00 |
| Myrtti | d_: try usb? | 14:01 |
| sammyF | Jeruvy: seriously, I wonder if I shouldn't just reinstall it but with ~gnome~ ubuntu, and then just install xfce on top of it ;) | 14:01 |
| xukun | sammyF, I hard to explain but what I need is that say I have album which is wav file format so its one big file without the names of numbers but I need so to all the names of the songs in say amarok | 14:01 |
| Myrtti | !usb | d_ | 14:01 |
| ubottu | d_: 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 | 14:01 |
| calc | d_: what chipset does it have? | 14:01 |
| rjune_ | How do I rerun the dpkg configuration script for ldap? or better yet, where can I find the script? | 14:01 |
| Jeruvy | sammyF: sure, I've done that. | 14:01 |
| sammyF | xukun: ahh ... use audacity to split the file in separate tracks then | 14:01 |
| d_ | Myrtti, unfortunately this computer doesn't have boot from USB option (I was kinda shocked) | 14:01 |

| xukun | sammyF, Ok I never used audacity but I will give a tray. Thanks a lot m8 | 14:02 |
| [nrx] | dontcha hate it when people ask for help, get the help, then leave without thanks | 14:02 |
| alexb92 | soz i havent tried that yet | 14:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Chousuke, the target doesnt work it keeps giving me it is not a file or directory even knowing i made the directory already, is there another way | 14:02 |
| alexb92 | will do next time i boot back in | 14:02 |
| sammyF | Jeruvy: but it really sounds like a bug in the latest xubuntu updates. I have two AA1 here (sis in law said I should do hers too). Both have the problem. | 14:03 |

| notwist | what's the best code editor for text based linux? like nano but with colors basically | 15:34 |
| SammyF | notwist, emacs? ;) | 15:34 |
| jrib | notwist: vim and emacs are the big ones | 15:34 |
| jrib | notwist: by the way, nano has colors... | 15:34 |
| notwist | i just don't want something scary, like VI that takes 6 months to learn | 15:36 |
| SammyF | notwist: then use emacs | 15:36 |
| notwist | ok thanks | 15:36 |
| SammyF | notwist, you should be done in 5 :P | 15:36 |
| jrib | notwist: then stick with nano... Though if you run vimtutor, you should pick it fairly quickly... | 15:36 |
| jamal | or gedit :) | 15:36 |
| notwist | jamal: text based linux :P | 15:36 |
| Noodels | I've downloaded and booted an 8.10 ubuntu i386 live cd. I'm on step 4 of the install. I can't work out how to resize (but not delete) the existing ntfs partition (which has been defragmented by the way). The version of gparted that comes with it is 0.3.8, can the 8.10 live cd even resize ntfs partitions? | 15:36 |

| SammyF | sigjuice: everything else is "host not reachable" (thus the static IP btw. can't reach teh router for DHCP) | 15:43 |
| sigjuice | SammyF: then you are not connected to your network at all. | 15:43 |
| gajop | is there a way to configure a static ip in interpid, using the gnome network manager that comes with the installation, instead of changing /etc/resolve.conf and /etc/network/interfaces , even though I fixed it here, I'd like to be able to do it through GUI in the future | 15:43 |
| judgepg | Marfi, that will not work | 15:44 |
| SammyF | sigjuice: actually I am | 15:44 |
| SammyF | sigjuice: I rebooted from the USB stick, and I had a connection THERE | 15:44 |
| Marfi | judgepg, unmount it, chmod the folder, then remount it | 15:44 |
| Marfi | judgepg, them make a directory inside of it, chmod the directory, and write to that | 15:44 |
| judgepg | Marfi, I did that, but when you mount the partition, it changes it | 15:44 |

| judgepg | Marfi, I think the issue is in the fstab line of the mount | 15:44 |
| SammyF | sigjuice: it looks like soemthing in the xubuntu update (clean install!) screwed up my network settings :/ | 15:45 |

| sammy | ChickenGirl, its a good place to start. pulse audio sits on top of alsa, think of it as the 'master' mixer for your machine, managing at the highest level all the input and output | 16:08 |
| === Sniper is now known as Guest27343 | ||

| ChickenGirl | does it have to be deliberately installed or does it come with Itchy Iguana (Ibex, whatever)? | 16:08 |
| letalis | sammy: not necessarily true, pulseaudio is just a layer running on top of alsa, if she doesnt unmute the mic from within alsa it wont work in anything else. | 16:09 |
| Myrtti | ChickenGirl: xubuntu doesn't come with pulseaudio by default | 16:09 |
| ChickenGirl | the mic doesn't seem to be muted, I've been trying to use ventrilo, when I talk people hear "feedback"-like noises | 16:10 |
| th__ | i have been doing that | 16:10 |
| Ejlan | Any one more then me that have the "Assertion failed" error in firefox? | 16:10 |
| sammy | ChickenGirl, that sounds like alsa is not only recording from your microphone, but also recording a 'monitor' input | 16:10 |
| letalis | yeah that happens when the 'wires' get crossed as it were. | 16:11 |
| * letalis does a lot of work in ardour | 16:11 | |
| letalis | :) | 16:11 |
| sammy | ChickenGirl, you need to learn a bit more about what all of the different channels in your mixer do. try finding an audio recording program and slowly test what happens when you record from each channel. you'll find out where the audio is coming from and going to. there's really no easy way to walk someone through it, though maybe someone else has a better idea | 16:12 |

| Myrtti | ChickenGirl: have you checked already that your capture input sources are the right way around? | 16:13 |
| ChickenGirl | letalis, trying to talk in vent | 16:13 |
| sammy | in xfce? I've never used it before. what I would do is look into the recording tab of your mixer program. mute *all* the channels and slowly unmute each one by themselves | 16:13 |
| Swammy | I have dual booted Ubuntu with MacOX86 and am not prompted with the boot menu allowing me to choose which OS to run | 16:14 |

| Seronis | how do i totally dismantal mousekeys? it keeps turning on randomly and i loathe having to waste my time to turn it off manually when it shouldnt ever activate in the first place (and NO, im NOT using the key combo, it does this usually when i've used vnc recently) | 16:15 |
| Myrtti | ChickenGirl: launch a terminal, type in alsamixer, hit tab, move with arrow keys to right, until your on Input Sources. Change the values with arrows up and down. Exit with esc. | 16:15 |

| sammy | Seronis, System -> Preferences -> Assistive Technologies | 16:16 |
| Seronis | sammy: that doesnt make it go away forever | 16:16 |
| letalis | ChickenGirl: yeah a misconfigured .asoundrc can do some nasty stuff | 16:17 |
| Seronis | that is what i have to do to turn it off when it turns itself on. i want it -gone- so that it cant turn itself on anymore | 16:17 |
| letalis | let me look | 16:17 |
| azath | So I upgraded to jaunty, rebooted, sound was working - but the 2.6.28-7 kernel was mapping my drives differently, had to uninstall, reinstall, change some menu.lst parameters before it would boot. But NOW I don't have sound, and I expect it has to do with the kernel. | 16:17 |
| sammy | Seronis, in keyboard preferences, under the accessibility tab, I see 'accessibility features can be triggered with keyboard shortcuts' | 16:17 |

| george | d/l'd gooogle earth into unbuntu desktop. It is .bin file. how do I install?? | 16:19 |
| bubba | ok, thanks anyway | 16:19 |
| Myrtti | george: you can install it enabling medibuntu repository and installing ti from there | 16:19 |
| Seronis | n8tuser: is that a large file or something specific to look for ? (opening now) | 16:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | george: Google Earth 5 ? | 16:19 |
| Myrtti | george: much safer to do it like that | 16:19 |
| SammyF | IntuitiveNipple: I give up. no errors in dmesg, and it ~used~ to work before installing the updates ... I'll try to rebuild the USB install and then reinstall the AA1 | 16:20 |
| sammy | george, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth | 16:20 |
| bartmon | george: in a terminal type "sh <path to downloaded file>" | 16:20 |
| george | it is google earth linux (3) | 16:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | SammyF: OK ... have you tried using tcpdump to monitor eth0 to see if it can received any ethernet broadcast packets | 16:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | SammyF: That might help determine if it's a hardware/driver issue, or higher up | 16:21 |
| sammy | Myrtti, interesting, the fact that google earth is in the medibuntu repository should be added to the community doc page. | 16:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | george: Google Earth v4.x are in the medibuntu repository | 16:22 |
| SammyF | IntuitiveNipple: looks like eth0 doesn't receive or send anything. | 16:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | george: Usually it's a case of doing "sudo bash <filename>" to install it | 16:22 |
| SammyF | IntuitiveNipple: hmm ... might be a powersaving thing | 16:22 |
| Seronis | n8tuser: nothing mentioning mousekeys or accessibility options in xorg.conf | 16:23 |

| letalis | ChickenGirl: I looked at your pastebin, that doesnt look awfully different from a default one. but i doubt having it is necessary. | 16:23 |
| savvas | sammy: thanks! :) | 16:23 |
| bubba | Myrtti, I didnt realize that only the package name changed. thanks for the help. | 16:23 |
| n8tuser | Seronis -> okay, i dont know where the settings is for that then | 16:23 |
| letalis | you need to get a mixer control that ives you full access to all of the options in alsa and basically just unmute the recording portion of the mice | 16:24 |
| letalis | mic rather | 16:24 |
| savvas | sammy: actually, the list of packages is here: http://packages.medibuntu.org/ | 16:24 |
| george | how to get to medibuntu reps...?? | 16:24 |
| sammy | savvas, whats something else people commonly install from medibuntu repositories so i can copy the instructions from an already tried and true help doc | 16:24 |
| SammyF | IntuitiveNipple: sigjuice: wtf!!! "arp who-has 192.168.1.1 tell Looney-Tunes.local" ... does that mean that it thinks 192.168.1.1 is itself? | 16:24 |
| th__ | hey is there anyway to increase quantum of inodes? | 16:24 |
| ikonia | th__: quantum of inodes ? | 16:24 |
| Seronis | n8tuser: im not worried about a setting. i just want the feature sabatoged / dismantled / gone. Any way to intentionally handicap it beyond unselecting "enable assistive technologies" and "features can be toggled with keyboard shortcuts" | 16:25 |
| sammy | also, does anyone have any idea why apt-get complains about a package not being authenticated, when the keyring for its repository is already loaded, and apt-key reports its there? | 16:25 |
| sammy | ikonia, I think they mean number of inodes | 16:25 |
| Seronis | n8tuser: cause i've had those two DE selected for months and it still turns itself back on randomly after vnc use | 16:25 |
| sammy | th__, in what filesystem? | 16:25 |
| SammyF | IntuitiveNipple: sigjuice: that's while pinging 192.168.1.1 and running tcpdump btw | 16:25 |
| th__ | ikonia, i ran out of them. ext3 | 16:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | SammyF: no, that means it is asking for the MAC address of the network interface that hosts 192.168.1.1 | 16:25 |
| th__ | sammy, ext3 | 16:25 |
| Maggie | how can I update BIOS of my motherboard if I am using Ubuntu 8.04? | 16:25 |

| th__ | yes number | 16:26 |

| jrib | quizme: I don't really understand the purpose | 16:49 |
| Dr_willis | Ryzzan, depends on what you want to do afterwards.. and how you installed it. | 16:49 |
| brunner | Ryzzan: reformatting works pretty well | 16:49 |

| Dr_willis | Ryzzan, use a parittioniong tool.. delete parittions, use windows rescue/system to restiore boot loader. | 16:50 |
| brunner | Ryzzan: you could always use a large electromagnet, though | 16:50 |

| ubottu | doubletoker: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 17:22 |

| SoulSeek | (I can say I was referred) | 18:07 |

| gnu_d | fow: why did you ask me the kernel version then ? | 18:18 |
| fow | gnu_d, I know that with 2.6.28 gspca behaves differently, as some drivers have been merged into the kernel and the rest don't compile | 18:18 |
| Bloc | hey | 18:18 |
| fow | gnu_d, with .24 though, I don't think I had any trouble | 18:18 |

| Bloc | sorry ;-) | 18:22 |
| letalis | eitreach: is it the sun version or the free version? | 18:22 |
| erUSUL | eitreach: ask in #vbox | 18:22 |
| martin__ | all are stings men think about the lines open the file wen report ass a text mode and modific the value too correct labels too work Evilrick | 18:22 |
| eitreach | letalis: the version downloaded from sun's own site. | 18:22 |
| martin__ | :) | 18:22 |
| DasEi | eitreach:a quest for virtualbox, but you need the prop. version of their homepage, free for personal use | 18:22 |
| Num83rGuy | My network and sound stopped working today when I turned on my computer, yet the live CD works and I do not remember changing any settings. | 18:23 |
| letalis | eitreach: the device works best if its disabled in linux for the guest oerating system to have full access to it. | 18:23 |
| |hashbang| | !seen | 18:23 |
| Evilrick | martin__: sorry but I cannot understand your english. | 18:23 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 18:23 |
| eitreach | letalis: how do I do that? | 18:23 |
| bartmon | hey guys. anyone know of a good benchmark suite? Google offers a few but i don't know which is ok... | 18:23 |
| letalis | usually you have to specify the devies in advance and let vbox take over control of them while the vm is in use | 18:23 |
| martin__ | well I try :) | 18:23 |
| eitreach | right.. | 18:24 |
| letalis | vm handles it, but you have to specify what in the usb configuration of vbox as to what it will take over | 18:24 |
| Num83rGuy | photronix has one | 18:24 |
| eitreach | letalis: the filters thing? | 18:24 |
| letalis | like a printer available to vbox usually becomes inacessible to the host system, (im assuming linux in this case) | 18:25 |
| letalis | yes | 18:25 |
| eitreach | alright. so I mark the devices that I want to use with vb? | 18:25 |
| letalis | yes | 18:25 |
| uski | hello; i would like to use packages fro, jaunty in intrepid, is that possible? how? thanks. (i'm having huge issues with pulseaudio and people reported the issues to be fixed by using more recent packages) | 18:25 |
| letalis | when the vm is in use the host will more than likely lose access to them | 18:25 |
| bartmon | Num83rGuy: Yes, i guess i'll just use that suite since phoronix is quite a credible site | 18:25 |
| letalis | devices dont like to fight with two osses on the usb bus at the same time and they rarely play nice if both have access to it at the same time | 18:26 |
| WebcamWonder | uski: It is possible but not recommended as other packages might depend on an older version, and you might end up with broken packages | 18:26 |
| Mez | hey, anyone know how to stop SSH hanging when I leave it idle? I know putty has an option to do that (the timeout option) but I cant seem to find the config option to do it in my ssh config on ubuntu | 18:27 |

| ktebit | what's the named designation of ubuntu 8.10? feisty? | 18:27 |
| letalis | anyone got any ideas? | 18:27 |

| fow | anom01y, I'd just use the shell | 18:31 |
| gnu_d | fow: but is it ok to install Intrepid pkg on Hardy ? | 18:31 |
| WebcamWonder | Redragon: If there is a debian version available, yes, it is recommended over compiling from source | 18:31 |
| fow | gnu_d, why not just update? | 18:31 |
| NeoDragon | in xfce install gparted and you can format a usb stick from with gparted | 18:31 |
| anom01y | fow, format: command not found | 18:31 |
| oCean__ | Redragon: wwmkr-qt is in the repos. | 18:31 |
| fow | anom01y, what filesystem do you want to format the stick as? | 18:31 |
| anom01y | gparted ahh yes | 18:31 |
| gnu_d | gnu_d: cause this internet source is slow. | 18:32 |
| anom01y | vfat | 18:32 |
| Redragon | Is it okay to run use the debian version while running hardy heron? | 18:32 |
| oCean__ | Redragon: so use next command to install, it will also resolve the gambas dependencies: "sudo apt-get install wwmkr-qt" | 18:32 |
| tanky_ | hi all | 18:32 |
| stefg | anom01y: this ain't DOS :-) | 18:32 |

| anom01y | ok | 18:32 |
| anom01y | that works | 18:32 |

| ZX-Martin | hi all | 18:34 |
| NeoDragon | yes just get gparted from the repos it's alot easier | 18:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | anom01y: You can look at the sym-links: ls -l /dev/disk/by-id | 18:34 |
| DjViper1 | anyone know how to fix ndiswrapper? | 18:35 |
| chawarma | We can't make a partitions with gparted unless we use a live CD, true ? | 18:35 |

| Num83rGuy | I am running the live cd right now and am having a bit of toruble finding the hardware spicifics. sorry. | 18:41 |

| Out_Cold | aren't they the same flash plugin? | 18:42 |
| oCean__ | alucardromero: the 'flashplugin-nonfree' in the repos is Adobe's. | 18:42 |
| WebcamWonder | fiftyone: You want one on the desktop? Nautilus has an option (hidden) for that | 18:42 |
| oCean__ | alucardromero: Using the one from the repos, is fine on video and sound (for me) | 18:42 |
| alucardromero | Yeah, I know that. But would it matter if it was from the adobe site or from the repositories? | 18:42 |
| erUSUL | fiftyone: you can add a trash can to your desktop via gconf-editor | 18:42 |
| ivo | IntuitiveNipple: I think it should be executable only if it's not in /usr/share/applications | 18:42 |
| oCean__ | alucardromero: don't know, the one from the repos works for me. Intrepid / ff 3.0.6 | 18:43 |
| alucardromero | Okay, I'll see if I can't switch them out. | 18:43 |
| Num83rGuy | nVidia Corporation MCP51 AC97 Audio Control for sound and nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller | 18:43 |

| DjViper1 | hi can anyone help me with ndiswrapper and broadcom 4306rev02 ? | 18:43 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ivo: The thing is, the 'x' permission usualyl infers the file is directly executable. In the case of a .desktop, without a shebang line, it won't be. | 18:43 |
| erUSUL | DjViper1: you should be using native b43 driver | 18:43 |
| DjViper1 | erUSUL: doesnt work | 18:44 |

| erUSUL | DjViper1: install the package (needs inet connection) | 18:45 |
| Num83rGuy | I am not certain what happened I turned om the computer this morning and no net no sound. | 18:45 |
| WebcamWonder | erUSUL: Quick question. Do you remember if the Hardware Drivers in Intrepid installs b43-fwcutter? | 18:45 |
| DjViper1 | erUSUL: which pkg? | 18:45 |
| erUSUL | DjViper1: b43-fwcutter | 18:45 |
| erUSUL | WebcamWonder: no; i dunno i do not have a broadcom card | 18:45 |
| nickrud | Num83rGuy, start by looking in /var/log/dmesg ; see if some hardware wasn't recognized properly | 18:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ivo: Do you now which executable Gnome would need on the shebang line? I'm not sure... possibly nautilus? | 18:45 |
| ivo | IntuitiveNipple: I think the code that executes .desktop files is not in nautilus executable, it's in a library. Possibly libnautilus (if there is), but I'm not sure. | 18:47 |
| martin__ | ooo | 18:47 |
| DjViper1 | erUSUL: okay, installing it now | 18:48 |

| Jockeo | see_plusplus: 8.10 is a newer version. However, 8.04 has "Long Time Support" (LTS) wich is good for some users. | 19:10 |
| fatbrain | oCean__: yes, I noticed, but the new user isn't allowed to run sudo commands. | 19:10 |
| [OES] | Am running as root | 19:10 |
| oCean__ | fatbrain: for that, the new user should be added to the 'admin' group | 19:10 |

| judget_ | Hi everyone New Ubuntu just installed here | 20:02 |
| NFischer | is there a possibility to boot without wifi drivers? interpid is giving me a kernel anic and i think the villain is my wifi card.. | 20:02 |
| anxiolytic | judget_: cool | 20:02 |
| aitd | tsrk: userdel will not remove the home dir for the user unless the -R option is used | 20:03 |
| redvamp128 | NFischer: have you tried booting with a different kernel or safe mode using grub | 20:03 |
| judget_ | THanks for the welcome | 20:04 |
| tsrk | aitd, it looks to me that neither will deluser | 20:04 |
| NFischer | redvamp128 its a live session.. dont have grub | 20:04 |
| sirhc_ | hi judget | 20:04 |

| HLM11 | need help with my sound not working.. im using a sound blaster mp3+ external usb drive | 20:04 |
| paganini | OK, so, I have a script in /etc/init.d that sits in the background and loops. In order to kill this process on shutdown I have it echo $PPID /var/run/appname.pid. I have a different script called at shutdown that kill -9 `cat /var/run/apppname.pid` | 20:04 |
| paganini | The problem is that the stored PPID is WRONG | 20:05 |

| Redragon | I am trying to install wwmkr. Terminal is currently showing: | 20:05 |
| LostChain | jrib: still doesnt play | 20:05 |
| dayo | jrib: thank you | 20:05 |
| alucardromero | HLM11: Check the sounds settings and see if sound is in digital mode or not. | 20:05 |
| jrib | LostChain: what sound output is selected now? | 20:05 |
| paganini | TThis script has been working well for a while; the PPID mismatch has started up suddenly | 20:05 |
| paganini | in the last week or so | 20:05 |
| jrib | LostChain: in audacious preferences | 20:05 |
| aitd | tsrk: deluser -remove-home will do the trick, you can also backup the dir first before the user is removed | 20:05 |
| judget_ | gotta run4 now byeee | 20:05 |

| Redragon | Unpacking wwmkr-qt (from wwmkr-qt_1.0.37-1_all.deb) ... Setting up wwmkr-qt (1.0.37-1) ... mdonahue@mdonahue-desktop:~/Desktop$ | 20:06 |
| HLM11 | im new to ubuntu, how do I do that, but my soundcard is set for digital and analog | 20:06 |
| aitd | tsrk userdel, i believe is more of a low level util | 20:06 |
| jrib | LostChain: don't know then | 20:06 |
| redvamp128 | NFischer: With the live cd there is not much you can do-- other than control-alt-backspace then alt-f2 and kill the process (though you have to know the driver) with an install you can do more. Unless you want to ask again and someone else may be able to help you. | 20:06 |
| tsrk | aitd, ok, I tried deluser and it worked fine | 20:06 |
| LostChain | its cool i just dont like the player that comes with ubuntu 8 | 20:06 |
| aitd | tsrk good deal | 20:06 |
| Redragon | The installation never seems to occur. | 20:06 |
| tsrk | i figured since i used adduser to add it i should use deluser to delete it | 20:06 |
| tsrk | i just didn't understand why there were 2 separate ones | 20:07 |
| alucardromero | HLM11: In the upper right, right click on the volume icon, and click on "Open Volume Control". | 20:07 |
| nickrud | Redragon, what you pasted is the complete setup | 20:07 |
| NFischer | redvamp128 the problem is when i install it the same problem happens.. i dont want to give iup my working hardy for trying | 20:07 |
| Kutz | I am having some problems. I used Wubi to install Ubuntu. I get the Ubuntu login screen and enter my username and password and then it just gives me a blank screen with a cursor. | 20:07 |
| root__ | dayo> how do u even live with your self .. am sure u dont look at the mirror | 20:07 |
| LostChain | jrib the one that comes with ubutnu 8 works fine, i just hate the playlist editor | 20:07 |
| aitd | I prefer the adduser as well useradd has an option for passwords but on my system(s) the password ends up in the passwd file as plain text instead of in shadow | 20:07 |
| LostChain | and the plugins suck | 20:07 |
| Redragon | So the program is currently installed? | 20:07 |
| darthanubis | compiz fails to autostart at login | 20:07 |
| HLM11 | its open, but its not telling me anything about digital.. | 20:07 |
| NFischer | redvamp128 but thx ill try the ctrl+alt backspace thing | 20:08 |
| alucardromero | Hmm. | 20:08 |
| quibbler | root__: give it a rest | 20:08 |
| aitd | tsrk useradd works better for me in other situations though. So I end up using them both from time to time. | 20:08 |
| Kutz | Anyone have any ideas? | 20:08 |
| tsrk | aitd, what situations? what do they do differently? | 20:09 |
| elementz | does anybody know how to compile/install via CMake? | 20:09 |

| HLM11 | I am getting no sound.. | 20:10 |
| LostChain | jrib: know anything about installing mplayer for ubuntu | 20:10 |
| G-Bleezy | where is Xorg.conf located??? | 20:10 |
| jrib | LostChain: same way you installed audacious | 20:10 |
| jrib | G-Bleezy: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:10 |
| G-Bleezy | k | 20:10 |
| aitd | tsrk: useradd when I just need to add a user to a server / group for file access. The group has a password for access. adduser when I need to have a home dir and password installed on the system, such as a desktop | 20:11 |
| Kutz | I put Ubuntu on it's own partition also. I get the ubuntu login screen and log in fine, it just gives me a tan screen with a cursor. Nothing else happens. | 20:11 |
| LostChain | apt .... i forgot the rest | 20:11 |
| jrib | elementz: synaptic | 20:11 |
| jrib | LostChain: use synaptic | 20:11 |
| LostChain | ok | 20:11 |
| * jrib sees a pattern | 20:11 | |
| Owner | does anyone know the solution to ubuntu failling to get files from mirrors on first installintionn it keeps giving the sme message no matr what mirror I choose | 20:12 |
| aitd | tsrk: also tend to use gpasswd to manage the groups and group passwords | 20:12 |
| failers^ | what should i chmod my home/user/.gnupg/gpg.conf to since it warns about wrong permission | 20:12 |
| tsrk | aitd, oh, ok, i think i understand, i didn't even know groups could have passwords | 20:12 |
| hatten | bye folks, I'll go play some OpeniLeroXtreme | 20:12 |
| hatten | *openlieroxtreme | 20:12 |
| jrib | failers^: mine is 600 | 20:12 |
| failers^ | jrib ok thx | 20:13 |
| redvamp128 | Kutz: you could try reinstall ubuntu-desktop or install the kubuntu-desktop sign into that go into your package manger and tell it to reinstall ubuntu desktop | 20:13 |
| aitd | tsrk: yup. Even so, I have set up groups and then added the sticky bit to the dir, then added the users to the group with no password, but let them have full control of the dirs and files they add individually. | 20:13 |
| Owner | no the laptop has no oratiin os on it at the moment | 20:13 |
| tsrk | aitd, the sticky bit? what's that? | 20:14 |
| aitd | tsrk: this way they can add files for group access, but cannot delete any of them without owning them first. .. Also set the umask to 0027 before doing this to make the job easier | 20:14 |
| c0rrupt0r | i need some help please | 20:14 |

| elementz | jrib: synaptic? for what? | 20:15 |
| jrib | elementz: the answer to your question | 20:15 |
| sauvin | Owner, what error? | 20:15 |
| tsrk | aitd, ah, ok, i've been wondering if there's a way to do that | 20:15 |
| redvamp128 | Kutz: you could try alt+f1 to get a prompt up to do the reinstall or install | 20:15 |
| Necrogamemaster | Excuse me I'm having a problem where my wireless works but the light is not on | 20:15 |

| diginux | Necrogamemaster: if it works, don't worry about it :) | 20:16 |
| tabidachi_ | Necrogamemaster, do you need help with it? | 20:16 |
| jrib | elementz: install cmake using synaptic, then read the documentation for your software | 20:16 |
| Owner | something about bad mirrors or no rlease file | 20:16 |
| elementz | jrib: ah got it | 20:16 |
| aitd | tsrk: Sticky bit: when assigned to the dir allows users to only delete the files within the dir for which they are owner of the file or the dir itself. | 20:16 |
| elementz | th | 20:16 |
| elementz | thx | 20:16 |
| Necrogamemaster | Just wondering if it could become a problem later, maybe it just burned out, lol | 20:16 |
| tsrk | aitd, ok, thanks | 20:16 |
| tabidachi_ | I'd leave alone Necrogamemaster | 20:16 |
| aitd | tsrk: for instance chmod 1770 <dirname> | 20:16 |
| diginux | Necrogamemaster: mine doesnt come on either, it is probably an issue of the driver just not turning the light on | 20:16 |
| tsrk | aitd, the 1 in front means the sticky bit? | 20:17 |

| tangentcollision | Necrogamemaster: fluxbox | 20:20 |
| redvamp128 | Kutz: you could try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop or install the xubuntu-desktop- log off and sign into that to gain access to the Synaptic Package Manger to do a reinstall of Ubuntu-desktop. | 20:20 |
| Kutz | redvamp128, All I did was run wubi. | 20:21 |

| redvamp128 | Kutz: I think something went odd in the install of the ubuntu-desktop (gnome) but no you didn't do anything wrong. | 20:22 |
| anxiolytic | I figured it out.. close and reopen the app | 20:22 |
| Kutz | redvamp128, How would I reinstall ubuntu-desktop? | 20:22 |
| redvamp128 | Kutz: try first alt-f1 should bring up a terminal | 20:22 |

| LostChain | anyone have an idea why my video playback flickers alot | 20:26 |

| tangentcollision | so you're not on the computer | 20:27 |
| tsrk | aitd, ah, that one could be useful (chpasswd), thanks | 20:27 |
| tangentcollision | Kutz: don't worry about logging in | 20:27 |
| durt | wolter: the latest drivers are in 8.10 are they not (180.29)? | 20:27 |
| wolter | ardchoille, its even a worse idea to not do it being a consequence of such not being able to suspend one's computer between classes | 20:27 |
| Kutz | i log in, when I hit ctrl+alt+backspace it logs me out | 20:27 |
| LostChain | my 2 gigabyte jump drive gives me an error saying cannot mount | 20:27 |

| anise | hello to all,can anyone tell me how can i make swf flash photos slideshow in ubuntu 8.10 | 20:28 |
| aitd | tsrk: I had a full example uploaded to my website at one point but pulled it for updating. Otherwise I could show you the script and the differences easier. | 20:28 |
| ardchoille | wolter: mixing repos can destroy the system, there is no valid reason for it. | 20:28 |

| tangentcollision | Kutz: no, stop right there | 20:29 |
| Kutz | I have a desktop image but can't do anything | 20:29 |

| Renfield | How do I configure my network settings in Ubuntu 8.10, and have them stick around? | 20:29 |
| tsrk | aitd, how soon do you think? | 20:29 |
| c0rrupt0r | quibbler: ok thank you will try that | 20:29 |
| Renfield | When I reboot, it says the network is not connected, and when I go to the network settings, they are blank again. | 20:29 |

| tsrk | aitd, ok, thanks | 20:29 |

| wolter | ardchoille, anyway, how do i disable the appearance of all those jaunty updates now? I just disabled the software sources jaunty entries.. | 20:30 |
| EQUIV | Kutz, ctrl+alt+F1 and then log in from virtual konsoll 1 | 20:30 |

| Redragon | I just wanted to say thank you to you folks for helping me today. It has to be frustrating for you dealing with a novice user like myself. | 20:30 |
| ardchoille | wolter: I don't think there is a way to fix that | 20:30 |
| Renfield | Oh, I mean that the configuration is back to dhcp, but I don't want it to be DHCP, I want to manually configure my network. | 20:30 |
| aitd | tsrk: np. Got to head out on errands. Good day | 20:30 |
| tangentcollision | Kutz: ctrl+alt+bkspc to kill xserver-xorg | 20:30 |

| === eric is now known as Guest37782 | ||
| Renfield | There is only "OK". | 20:30 |
| ardchoille | wolter: the jaunty stuff replaced your intrepid stuff, this is why it's a bad idea | 20:30 |
| tangentcollision | Kutz: then ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a terminal | 20:30 |
| tsrk | stupid question: how do I see all running processes? | 20:31 |
| ardchoille | wolter: hmm.. no idea, perhaps ask in #ubuntu+1 | 20:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wolter: April 23rd or thereabouts | 20:31 |

| wolter | oh ok | 20:31 |
| Schuenemann | tsrk, top or ps aux | 20:31 |
| wolter | i can put up with that haha | 20:31 |
| tsrk | eraggo, ok, thanks | 20:31 |
| tangentcollision | Kutz: then sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop | 20:31 |
| eraggo | :) | 20:31 |
| wolter | I won't update a single package for then. | 20:31 |
| tangentcollision | Kutz: then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 20:31 |
| ardchoille | wolter: did you run apt-get update or apt-get upgrade? | 20:31 |
| wolter | also, is it sane to add a script to the /etc/acpi/resume.d ? | 20:31 |
| c0rrupt0r | quibbler: ok I found out my problem is im on ubuntu 8.04 and I have ubuntu 8.10 ppa repositories | 20:31 |

| redvamp128 | tangentcollision: though I was going to have him install -- xubuntu-desktop to get to where he would have had a gui for synaptic to click the reinstall of the ubuntu but your way worked out better. | 20:35 |
| durt | trygg: out of what total? | 20:36 |

| eraggo | well. you download torrent file and open it via it | 20:37 |
| redvamp128 | tangentcollision: I went the way of Red Hat and Mandrake - then windowed for a while... | 20:37 |

| quibbler | Mariano: in your main menu...applications-internet-transmission | 20:41 |
| redvamp128 | HLM11: I was only going by what you said about wine earlier and I get them but the sound does work.. | 20:41 |
| thechris | Pollywog: no, there is no samba in /etc/init.d | 20:42 |
| redvamp128 | !sound | HLM11: | 20:42 |
| ubottu | HLM11:: 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 | 20:42 |

| titan_ark | hey could someone please help me with updating Transmission | 20:42 |
| Pollywog | thechris: I think you do not have the samba server installed | 20:43 |

| Renfield | IntuitiveNipple: whoami reports jlmlocal. This is the user that I was forced to create when I installed Ubuntu 8.10 amd64. | 20:45 |
| titan_ark | durt: Just that? I checked their site and it talks about some change in repository etc | 20:45 |
| Pollywog | IntuitiveNipple: ty I indeed have htsearch where you said it should be | 20:46 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Renfield: Okay, then in reference to your earlier question, you should need to use 'sudo...' in order to execute commands to configure the network | 20:46 |
| martin__ | Evilrick, I paste you solution Here >>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/118168/ | 20:46 |
| Renfield | IntuitiveNipple: I did sudo su - to root, and change the password, since I don't remember being given the opportunity to set the password. | 20:46 |
| durt | titan_ark: you want to install outside of the repos? | 20:46 |
| martin__ | was a good day | 20:46 |
| Renfield | IntuitiveNipple: Ok, so if I select the network configuration from the Ubuntu desktop, how do I get it to "sudo" as necessary? | 20:46 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Renfield: Hmmm... you set a password for the root user? In Ubuntu, we don't usually do that. | 20:46 |
| Renfield | Oh? | 20:46 |
| Elda | I was worried in getting a dell 1501 that it would be hard to get linux working on, but I am very glad that it works much better than my Toshiba did xD | 20:46 |
| ardchoille | Renfield: sudo/gksudo do anything you need, there's no real reason to set a root password. I haven't had to do it in 4 years with Ubuntu | 20:46 |
| Elda | Even with an ati card | 20:47 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Renfield: From the desktop, the network configuration tools will know when to ask for permissions and prompt you | 20:47 |
| Renfield | Oh, I'm just used to root always having a password. | 20:47 |
| Renfield | Ok, so I'll go and unset the root password. | 20:47 |
| ardchoille | Renfield: The default root accoount in Ubuntu is locked | 20:47 |
| ardchoille | !rootsudo | Renfield | 20:47 |
| ubottu | Renfield: 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) | 20:47 |
| titan_ark | durt, I am sorry, I am new to linux, I hardly understand this. Tried updateing using sudo apt get install but it did not help. I just want to update from 1.3 to the latest version because i want to use the scheduler feature etc | 20:47 |
| HLM11 | after going through the trouble shooter, my sound should be working, but it is not | 20:47 |
| Renfield | I'm used to much more low-level system configuration. | 20:47 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Renfield: In Ubuntu the initial user is added to the "admin" group, which is allowed root permissions via sudo. | 20:48 |
| Renfield | ardchoille: I know about sudo. | 20:48 |
| ardchoille | Renfield: unset root password instructions are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:48 |
| Renfield | ardchoille: Thanks. | 20:48 |
| ardchoille | yw | 20:48 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Renfield: I usually just do "sudo su" to become root | 20:48 |
| Renfield | I think I know too much for my own good here. | 20:48 |

| j85wilson | does anyone have a good reference on udev, sysfs, hal, etc? Especially with an eye towards ubuntu? | 20:56 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Renfield: For normal use, no, I'd leave NetworkManager to it. But be aware that any manual changes will stop NM from managing the interface | 20:57 |
| marcelkoopman | chroot is a jailed environment of another installation right? | 20:57 |
| Schuenemann | what package do I need for the mysql driver for php? I thought it was php5-mysql | 20:57 |
| IntuitiveNipple | marcelkoopman: Have you bound /dev/ and /sys/ (as well as /proc/) into the chroot? | 20:57 |
| n8tuser | j85wilson -> http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html | 20:58 |
| marcelkoopman | IntuitiveNipple, no I just mount and chroot | 20:58 |
| Renfield | IntuitiveNipple: Well, ok, but I have yet to get NetworkManager to work! I'm trying to do things the Ubuntu way. | 20:58 |
| j85wilson | n8tuser: thanks. I will take a look. | 20:58 |
| marcelkoopman | IntuitiveNipple, its an option of chroot i presume? | 20:58 |
| Renfield | IntuitiveNipple: I deleted the auto eth0 config, and tried creating a new one. This new one never gets a network config, and the MAC address area is blank. Do I need to provide a MAC address? | 20:59 |
| Renfield | Er I mean it never "sees" the network. | 20:59 |
| n8tuser | Renfield -> post your /etc/network/interfaces file | 20:59 |
| vigo | How do I upgrade SeaMonkey? I downloaded the 1.1.4 , it is a GTK installer but I do not know what to do after that. | 20:59 |

| tuna-fish | A stupid gnome question: how can i set a program to open automatically when someone logs into a sessions | 21:00 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Renfield: No, that is, I think, for if you want to set a specific MAC | 21:00 |
| IntuitiveNipple | marcelkoopman: Of course, after you exit the chroot you should umount $CHROOT/{proc,dev,sys} too | 21:00 |
| Renfield | n8tuser: It is just two lines: auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback | 21:01 |
| n8tuser | tuna-fish -> launch it in .bashrc ? | 21:01 |
| martin__ | where is the directory ween Istambul has your files too upload a new configuration video off compiz :) | 21:01 |
| j85wilson | tuna-fish: run gnome-session-properties or some such | 21:01 |

| n8tuser | Renfield -> you wanted to add eth0? a sample can be had from man interfaces | 21:02 |
| Renfield | n8tuser: Well, I'd like it to just work from the GUI, isn't that what people are supposed to use? | 21:02 |

| Sale023 | where to download znc for shell | 21:03 |

| Renfield | maxime_: What do you mean by migrating? | 21:07 |
| j85wilson | Renfield: I hated Linux for the first month I used it. And that was in c. 2000. Things have gotten a lot better since. | 21:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Renfield: If you think you've configured it, "ifconfig" and "ip route show" should show the settings | 21:07 |
| Renfield | This is a new install. | 21:07 |
| imbecilin | what's the terminal command to call ubuntu's text editor? | 21:07 |

| === sue is now known as calamari | ||
| wubrgamer | well, thanks guys | 21:15 |
| Titan8990 | wubrgamer, you have to specifically tell it to exclude hidden files | 21:15 |
| Schuenemann | IntuitiveNipple, do I have to recompile it? | 21:15 |
| HLM11 | what is OSS, and why does that work when alsa mixer does not? | 21:15 |
| Renfield | That's just wrong. I've never had to reboot a Linux system before in order to get networking working. Oh, well. It is a sign of the times. | 21:15 |
| HLM11 | im a linux newbie | 21:15 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Schuenemann: I'm not sure then... the error message in the pastebin indicated the solution was to change the actual build options of the package, but I can't imagine that it's being shipped without that support - lots of people would have complained by now! | 21:15 |
| Mariano | there are another program to download mp3? | 21:16 |
| rdw200169 | Renfield, in the future, you can restart networking via /etc/init.d/network restart | 21:16 |
| n8tuser | Mariano -> wget | 21:16 |
| Renfield | rdw200169: I did that, and that did not help. | 21:16 |

| HLM11 | !sound | 21:16 |
| 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 | 21:16 |

| Mariano | where can i found wget? :-D | 21:17 |
| Titan8990 | Schuenemann, you should look at ubuntu specific documentation | 21:17 |
| Titan8990 | Schuenemann, ubuntu likes to change things.... | 21:17 |
| HLM11 | grr | 21:17 |
| rdw200169 | Renfield, unless there's a driver/kernel issue, networking can always be restarted, or fixed, via either ifup/ifdown, /etc/init.d/networking, ip, ifconfig, etc... | 21:17 |
| HLM11 | this is not working for me, why? | 21:17 |
| redvamp128 | !oss | HLM11 | 21:17 |

| Titan8990 | Mariano, type: which wget | 21:18 |
| martin__ | wget http:ubuntu.com | 21:18 |
| redvamp128 | HLM11: Oss is 4Front Technologies <http://www.opensound.com/> | 21:18 |

| Titan8990 | Mariano, always | 21:19 |
| HLM11 | is there a way to change default soundplayer from alsamixer to OSS? | 21:19 |
| Titan8990 | HLM11, its not a soundplayer, its a sounddriver | 21:19 |
| HLM11 | thats what I mean... I guess | 21:19 |
| redvamp128 | HLM11: yes -- system- prefereces-- sound then change them to oss - | 21:19 |
| Titan8990 | HLM11, you can blacklist the alsa modules or you can unintall them | 21:19 |
| Titan8990 | HLM11, if I'm not mistaken, OSS is a dead technology | 21:20 |
| HLM11 | the dead technology is working for me though -.- | 21:20 |
| Renfield | Oh, I spoke too soon. Although the IP address is configure, the default route is not, and /etc/resolv.conf is not properly populated. | 21:20 |
| Titan8990 | HLM11, you should always use alsa unless you have legacy equipment not supported by alsa | 21:20 |
| redvamp128 | HLM11: instead of using the autodetect Titan8990 though if it works for him then he has sound | 21:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Schuenemann: The package is built with "--with-mysql=shared,/usr" amongst many others | 21:21 |
| HLM11 | its set to alsamixer for device, the OSS is not there... | 21:21 |
| dayo | Renfield: see why the command line is preferrable to gui? ;-) | 21:21 |
| Titan8990 | redvamp128, ah, well I have no idea how to turn off the automagik features of ubuntu, my distro uses alsaconf | 21:21 |
| elementz | how can i figure out which process is using /dev/video0 ? something seems to block access to it | 21:21 |
| Titan8990 | HLM11, alsamixer is not a device, it is volume control for alsa devices | 21:21 |
| redvamp128 | HLM11: If you change them there could be listed as Open Source Sound | 21:21 |
| n8tuser | elementz -> lsof -i /dev/video0 | 21:21 |
| Titan8990 | HLM11, type alsamixer in the terminal or: man alsamixer | 21:22 |
| elementz | thx | 21:22 |

| Renfield | dayo: I'm about to write a couple dozen bug reports. | 21:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Schuenemann: That error report in pastebin - was it generated by the mediawiki installer? | 21:22 |
| HLM11 | alsamixer is all the way up | 21:22 |
| dayo | Renfield: really? | 21:22 |
| Schuenemann | IntuitiveNipple, yes. The configure script, actually. | 21:23 |
| Titan8990 | HLM11, have you gone through the sound troubleshooting pages? | 21:23 |
| tlchack5 | is ruby a good place to start learning to program on the linux platform? | 21:23 |
| Renfield | No, I'm joking, but it would make me feel better. | 21:23 |
| HLM11 | yes | 21:23 |
| redvamp128 | HLM11: Does it even list in the drop down the OSS Open sound system (that is what it is listed there for mine) | 21:23 |
| Titan8990 | tlchack5, you should view the programming focums on the ubuntu forums | 21:23 |

| IntuitiveNipple | (sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop) | 21:25 |
| redvamp128 | HLM11: what I would do is move each down and click test see where one works (though if oss works ) it should work if set there. | 21:25 |
| Titan8990 | tlchack5, and for programming in python, I recommend EMACs | 21:25 |

| GodfatherofEire | I.e., if I needed to diagnose a system, I'd be using Hiren's Boot CD, Gparted, and DBAN | 22:15 |
| Geek`N`Proud | trouble with DBAN is it relies on an older kernel | 22:15 |

| rdw200169 | naxa, the reason i asked is because many motherboards have both AC'97 and Digital Audio, and you can switch what kind it uses in the BIOS | 22:23 |
| erUSUL | dmulholland: you want the output of time or the output of app in the log file | 22:23 |
| erUSUL | ? | 22:23 |
| dmulholland | erUSUL: the output of time mainly - the app doesnt output anything :) | 22:24 |
| naxa | rdw200169, i see... dunno if that's the case. full story is that i had this ubuntu as 7.10 on a hp laptop. laptop dead but hdd saved along with ubuntu.

| aykutcan | hi all !! | 22:25 |

| ubottu | aykutcan: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. | 22:26 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, and see if you can't get ubuntu to retry setting up the audio, because it thinks, according to the alsa config files, that its audio card is from the laptop | 22:26 |
| aykutcan | thanks | 22:26 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, and, generally, updates won't redetect hardware | 22:27 |

| rdw200169 | naxa, the config file replacement is only for situations when you *change* config files, and the installer wants to update them for a new version | 22:27 |
| aykutcan | :) i know | 22:27 |
| dtchen | naxa: download http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh, save it to your Desktop, run it as a bash script in a terminal, and tell me the url the script generates | 22:27 |
| naxa | dtchen, ok one minute | 22:27 |
| naxa | rdw200169, i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base and alsa-utils... should i restart x or something? (after i finished alsa info) | 22:28 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, you can try: /etc/init.d/alsa restart | 22:28 |
| RussellAlan | haha | 22:28 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, alsa-utils | 22:28 |
| dmulholland | erUSUL: the output of time mainly - the app doesnt output anything :) | 22:29 |
| Don_Miguel | Douglas_Nessmith, Do you have a USB stick that you can use to save those files ? I think the Live CD can do that for you .. but the CD system is not is, iirc, actually mounted | 22:29 |
| user___ | hello | 22:29 |
| naxa | rdw200169, dtchen sound problem is solved, thank you for your help!!! :) i've got another problem. :) where can i check if my graphic card supports opengl? now ubuntu says me that no opengl. the card is ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF | 22:30 |

| tlchack5 | hey, i have my computer running linux hooked up to the internet via a hub plugged into my laptops wifi card via a crossover cable. is there a way to share the printer my laptop (running vista) has with my computer running linux? | 22:31 |
| naxa | rdw200169, it was hard to find something that fits in this very compact house | 22:31 |
| naxa | rdw200169, this actually came with another dell | 22:31 |

| eeheh | Can anyone dare to ask some questions? *Like can I ask some auestions about Ubuntu? | 22:33 |
| linux_guy | !ask | eeheh | 22:33 |
| ubottu | eeheh: 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. :-) | 22:33 |
| flint_ | Anybody got a clue how to compile the source from a tomtom to make a Ubuntu executable? | 22:34 |

| naxa | rdw200169, in this forum, troutrou says that his ubuntu managed to enable 3d on this card. well. | 22:37 |
| erUSUL | dmulholland: sometimes shells s**k | 22:37 |
| dmulholland | erUSUL: that's a good idea, will have a look | 22:37 |
| sigjuice | for some reason my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is empty | 22:37 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, that's the driver that will work, i think | 22:37 |
| dmulholland | erUSUL: yeah /usr/bin/time is working, time to add an alias :D | 22:37 |
| naxa | rdw200169, how can i change my driver? | 22:37 |
| porter1 | gidna, http://awn-project.org/ | 22:37 |
| eeheh | You see, I installed Ubuntu *forgot version* a long time ago, and set it on being dual/boot. However a virus came around for windows, and while I was on windows, apprently fiddled around with ubuntu, because I could not start it anymore. Anyways, I got rid of the virus and the pc went good, until today, the windows just freezed at the login thingy, and the only way to acces it (Like i\m doing now,| Is secure mode. Anyways, so I formatted the ol | 22:38 |
| notyourdaddy | #join ubuntuusers | 22:38 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, 8.10, right? | 22:38 |
| naxa | rdw200169, right - that's why i ask | 22:38 |
| eeheh | write stuff, but I got nothing out of that. So I went and restarted my pc and went into safe mode to search for help, and here I am. | 22:38 |
| naxa | rdw200169, i heard that there is something new with xorg lately in this field... i dunno if it autodetects or what. | 22:38 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, chances are, there isn't even a Xorg.conf file, but since you've done some upgrades, it may still be around | 22:38 |
| porter1 | eeheh, you should do a dist-upgrade | 22:38 |
| Robingraves | Can anyone tell me what the command is to see if my windows hard drive is hd1,0 or something else ? | 22:38 |
| eeheh | ? | 22:39 |
| naxa | rdw200169, should i delete instance of xorg.conf | 22:39 |
| naxa | ? | 22:39 |
| gidna | porter1 have I to be in 3d mode? | 22:39 |
| linux_guy | eeheh, ive found the easiest answer to windows virus problems to be making the switch to ubuntu =) | 22:39 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, but, honestly, i have to stop here, b/c i'm still on 8.04 | 22:39 |
| dmulholland | erUSUL: thanks for the help | 22:39 |
| durt | sigjuice: xorg auto-configs now, but xorg.conf is still read put your old one there if auto-config doesn't work perfectly | 22:39 |
| erUSUL | dmulholland: no problem | 22:39 |
| porter1 | gidna, what do you mean? | 22:39 |
| Geek`N`Proud | linux_guy, need some malware to make you feel at home? :P | 22:39 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, you will probably need it! if it's there, it uses it, if it's not, it auto-detects | 22:39 |

| porter1 | You'll just have to try and find out | 22:40 |
| Robingraves | NFischer: Thankyou | 22:40 |
| naxa | rdw200169, then i should write the driver name there as usual? | 22:40 |
| linux_guy | Geek`N`Proud, i searched for a whole day looking for antivirus, antispyware /malware protection for ubuntu | 22:40 |

| eeheh | Whoa, the virus itself was pretty obibious, a pink looking squid. Besides i\m not asking for some holy grale to completly rid of windows forever, I\m just wondering how I should do to get ubuntu working. And get rid of the dual boot wich I installed long time ago. | 22:40 |
| flint_ | RussellAlan you got it in one. I am trying to compile the source for Markus Hoffmann's log2itn | 22:40 |
| linux_guy | couldnt believe the lack of availability.... then i realized | 22:40 |
| porter1 | eeheh, blow it all away and install ubuntu again | 22:40 |
| eeheh | So I can install it normally *I have ubuntu on a dvd. | 22:40 |
| user___ | a pink squid virus? | 22:40 |
| eeheh | smss.exe, a creepy bastards. | 22:41 |
| linux_guy | eeheh, a pink squid? | 22:41 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, yes, make sure you have the driver installed: xserver-xorg-video-ati | 22:41 |
| TruthTaco | could someone tell me how to get my mycomputer icon on the desktop? | 22:41 |
| eeheh | Yhe it had that as a icon. | 22:41 |
| linux_guy | *eeheh has been smoking something with spongebob | 22:41 |
| rdw200169 | TruthTaco, the easiest way to do that is using ubuntu-tweak | 22:41 |
| sigjuice | durt: I can't seem to set a resolution larger than 800x600 and glxinfo reports AGP 1x instead of 2x | 22:41 |
| TruthTaco | ah thanks | 22:41 |
| eeheh | So how I can format the Ubuntu partion, and get rid of the dual boot so I can install it |normally| | 22:41 |
| eeheh | ? | 22:41 |
| durt | sigjuice: card? | 22:41 |
| Geek`N`Proud | linux_guy, antivir is available with dazuko for on-access scanning | 22:41 |
| linux_guy | eeheh, you need to work on your mbr right? | 22:42 |
| rdw200169 | eeheh, explain more of your situation and what you want to do, please | 22:42 |
| porter1 | eeheh, when you instal, it will allow you to | 22:42 |
| naxa | rdw200169, i thought i need r128 ?? | 22:42 |
| linux_guy | Geek`N`Proud, whats the point? | 22:42 |
| Geek`N`Proud | linux_guy: there IS a McAfee VirusScan for Linux too | 22:42 |
| kane77 | yesterday and day before all of sudden gnome restarted itself, and yesterday and now my theme got replaced by other theme... can anyone help me find cause for this behavior? | 22:42 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, yeah, that's where the driver is | 22:42 |
| Aquina | dazuko is a bit a bitch when it comes to actually using it. | 22:42 |
| linux_guy | Geek`N`Proud, all those scan for windows viruses | 22:42 |
| Geek`N`Proud | linux_guy, to protect against viruses getting in your Wine? :P | 22:42 |
| Aquina | Always recompile the kernel to ensure it really works. | 22:42 |
| naxa | rdw200169, i have "xserver-xorg-video-ati" and the same with "-video-r128" | 22:42 |
| Aquina | Oh and btw. conflikting modules an the like all the way. | 22:43 |
| linux_guy | lets get eeheh fixed up, im interested in his problem | 22:43 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, well, that's where it is on 8.04... but just make you have it first ;) | 22:43 |
| methodmarvel | gotta love 8.04 | 22:43 |
| sigjuice | durt: according to lspci, ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x | 22:43 |
| linux_guy | eeheh, do you want an all ubuntu machine? all windows? dual boot? vmware? how do you want to do it? | 22:43 |
| naxa | rdw200169, :) | 22:43 |
| eeheh | First I had windows. And a linux/obbsesive friend got my to install ubuntu. So I tried it. Ran it for a day and then tought. Na I\ll play my games. Now tonight, my windows got it\s head scrambled, like it hada injection of Opium or something. So it freezes at when I try to login, I get to see the icons and all that shit. | 22:43 |
| rdw200169 | methodmarvel, yeah, but i can't have the gnome-do dock for 0.8 :( | 22:43 |
| eeheh | So I tought, hey let\s start ubuntu again! | 22:44 |
| methodmarvel | yeah - rwd - I was trying to install that for AGES | 22:44 |
| methodmarvel | couldn't figure it out | 22:44 |
| linux_guy | does ubuntu work? | 22:44 |
| methodmarvel | nope | 22:44 |
| eeheh | So I tried to start it, but apprently after I had got that smss.exe virus away from windows, my Ubuntu got suckzord, it coulnd\t find files etc when I tried to boot it. So I tought, hell no my ass. So I went and donwloaded ubuntu. | 22:44 |
| Aquina | eekek the problem is either a bootloder specific one or your NTFS/FAT32 drive for Win got messed up. | 22:44 |
| gleyve | I have some problem with sinaptyc..anyone could help me? some dependecies problems | 22:45 |
| eeheh | And formatted my G drive. | 22:45 |
| Aquina | normally Win can fix this on boot up with chkdsk | 22:45 |
| eeheh | Now, the dual boot was still left in there. | 22:45 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, i have all kinds of crazy stuff in my xorg.conf, and when i upgrade (one day) i'm gonna keep it, b/c i have dual monitors etc... | 22:45 |
| naxa | rdw200169, does it make sense if i write this line into the otherwise almost empty 'section "Device"': Driver "r128"? | 22:45 |
| eeheh | And I installed ubuntu later on on my G drive again, and restarted the comp. | 22:45 |
| === user___ is now known as zawa | ||
| naxa | rdw200169, fortunately this thing makes backups of itself | 22:45 |
| flint_ | eeheh, how many drives you got in this machine? | 22:45 |
| naxa | at least for me | 22:45 |
| eeheh | Tried to start windows normally, as usual it hang up right at the spot, so I tried to go into ubuntu tru the Dual boot, wich I saw a ubuntu loading screen, you know the orange looking loader. | 22:46 |
| eeheh | I got 2 Hdd. | 22:46 |
| linux_guy | eeheh, what do you want to do? how do you want to set it up? do you want to dual boot still? | 22:46 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, never *ever* trust that, make your own backups of what works well! (that's been my motto, and its saved me several upon several times) | 22:46 |
| Aquina | eeheh I recommend you to use Ubuntu ONLY with seperated ext3 "partitions". Get rid of everything else. A fresh install will help. | 22:46 |
| flint_ | eeheh, did you make a standard workstation boot CD? | 22:46 |
| naxa | rdw200169, that's a _very_ good motto. | 22:46 |
| eeheh | I got Ubuntu 8.10 burned to a dvd disk. | 22:46 |
| linux_guy | eeheh, i agree with aquina | 22:46 |
| naxa | rdw200169, i was dead a couple of times 'couse i didn't follow that :) | 22:47 |
| linux_guy | eeheh, are you pretty new to gnu/linux/ubuntu? | 22:47 |
| eeheh | Yes. | 22:47 |
| Aquina | seems so :-) | 22:47 |
| naxa | rdw200169, this should make you become practiced in configuring, however... | 22:47 |
| naxa | rdw200169, this is only in theory :) | 22:47 |
| naxa | rdw200169, hold on a sec, now I'll try and restart xorg | 22:47 |
| Renfield | Has anyone here installed openGEU? | 22:47 |
| eeheh | I just wanna remove that bitchy dual boot, so I can boot the dvd disk, install ubuntu to that partion, then make it set a new dual boot. | 22:48 |

| mikeshollen | A few days ago I wrote a few lines of code to make my wireless driver and I pasted them into a file, which I believe was rclocal | 22:48 |
| mikeshollen | I can't remember what directory that was in | 22:48 |
| mikeshollen | And now my wireless card isn't starting on boot | 22:48 |
| Aquina | eeheh When booting from that DVD you created choose the Live CD option (boot Ubuntu) then klick on the installer icon on the desktop after it has sucessfully loaded. | 22:48 |
| naxa | rdw200169, in any case, if i never return, thank you for your help - you we're a great friend. see you - later. ;) | 22:48 |
| mikeshollen | Can someone tell me how to get back there to those startup files | 22:48 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, ah, good luck! | 22:48 |
| flint_ | eeheh, the ticket here is to do a manual partition. The DVD boots you into Ubuntu? | 22:48 |
| linux_guy | mikeshollen, what version? | 22:48 |
| mikeshollen | 8.04 | 22:48 |
| Imaginativeone | how do I connect my xp machine to an ubuntu share via samba? | 22:48 |
| naxa | rdw200169, I will be BACK! :) | 22:49 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, and if its any consolation, x.org now has a very reliable safe start mode-thing | 22:49 |
| Aquina | eeheh you can boot from DVD no matter what's on your HDD's | 22:49 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, so if xorg.conf fails, it goes to safe mode, which is just the vesa driver | 22:49 |
| eeheh | I uninstalled ubuntu, now. Tru WIndows secure mode, how do I remove Dual boot? | 22:49 |
| eeheh | So it becomes Normal. | 22:49 |
| Aquina | Go into your BIOS and select a CD-ROM for boot. Or try pressing F11 or something like that on system startup | 22:49 |
| erUSUL | eeheh: fixmbr from recovery mode of windows | 22:49 |
| eeheh | mbr is what? | 22:49 |
| linux_guy | master boot record | 22:49 |

| flint_ | eeheh, if you want to go back to a total window boot fdisk /fixmbr | 22:50 |
| erUSUL | eeheh: ask in ##windows for more info | 22:50 |
| linux_guy | GL in that chan | 22:50 |
| eeheh | Is that the one thing that holding the somewhat looking corrupted dual boot? | 22:50 |
| naxa | rdw200169, oh, i think i've seen that a couple of times. i also saw a few times when even that wasn't enough safe. poor xorg. :) | 22:50 |
| Aquina | eeheh I think though you've got more probs than mbr. | 22:50 |
| naxa | rdw200169, ok, i'll restart now. bye. | 22:50 |
| ccchatzilla | How can I display the result of a terminal command straight in the Gnome Panel? | 22:50 |

| rdw200169 | ccchatzilla, hmm,,, that's an interesting question, you could try something with libnotify + python | 22:51 |
| Stelbent | anyone awake? | 22:51 |
| Aquina | nos, eeheh the mbr is a tiny part on your hdd which takes care of operating system boot in some way. Use fasbot or metager or cuil to search for an article discussin' that matter. | 22:51 |

| Royall | what drive is /dev/sg0, usually? | 22:56 |
| flint_ | eeheh, what version of the CD did you have? | 22:56 |
| rdw200169 | kapace_laptop, that doesn't get the restricted drivers, though, like nvidia and fglrx | 22:56 |
| eeheh | An very old Dell cd with Windows XP Service pack 1. | 22:56 |
| eeheh | 32 bit version. | 22:56 |
| kapace_laptop | rdw200169, but i can change the command for that? | 22:56 |
| flint_ | eeheh, go download a new version and burn it to a cd | 22:56 |
| tim_ | nevermind. | 22:56 |
| eeheh | Is the windows cd required to fix the damned mbr? | 22:57 |
| kapace_laptop | eeheh, no | 22:57 |
| kapace_laptop | you can find the recovery console somewhere from microsoft | 22:57 |
| Andry_Afk | I do not have a cd rom drive | 22:57 |
| maco | eeheh: if "fix" means you want to reinstall windows' boot loader | 22:57 |
| durt | sigjuice: sorry got caught up helping someone else. Also sorry I've never touched an ATI card | 22:57 |
| rdw200169 | kapace_laptop, yeah, here's the one for nvidia: dpkg --get-selections nvidia* | 22:57 |
| Andry_Afk | so I cant use a real cd | 22:57 |
| flint_ | eeheh, the windows cd is required to fix your windows xp. It will also fix the mbr as part of the bargan. | 22:57 |
| icui2i | can anyone help me with how to get back the lower panel, where I can see my programs when minimized? as well how many desktops that are available.. I accedently deleted the panel... | 22:57 |
| kapace_laptop | rdw200169, yeah, thats what i was thinking | 22:57 |
| kapace_laptop | thanks | 22:57 |
| Andry_Afk | I need an external drive, such as a USB drive | 22:57 |
| maco | icui2i: just add a new panel and add those applets to it\ | 22:57 |
| naxa | rdw200169, i'm back....... sorry for being late, i just played a bit with tux racer :) | 22:58 |
| maco | icui2i: if you right click the top panel itll let you add a new one | 22:58 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, so it works? | 22:58 |
| naxa | rdw200169, yeah, it's hell slow, but it works. :) | 22:58 |
| flint_ | macd_, Hou are you doing? | 22:58 |
| naxa | rdw200169, tux racer is my glxgears | 22:58 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, well, thats what you get from a Rage 128 ;) | 22:58 |
| flint_ | mac /Hou/How/ | 22:58 |
| naxa | rdw200169, i think it's actually more interesting. :) | 22:58 |
| naxa | rdw200169, yeah :) | 22:58 |
| alexxoid | hi guys, does anybody have been setuped a voxware metasound decoder? | 22:59 |
| icui2i | maco: but it's not the same as the one when I first installed ubuntu.. | 22:59 |
| naxa | rdw200169, i actually has an integrated graphics card. can i found out what's that, with this ati still in operation (eg. right now)? | 22:59 |
| maco | icui2i: you can make it the same | 22:59 |
| icui2i | maco: still miss the desktop area | 22:59 |
| maco | icui2i: if you right click it you can add that :P | 22:59 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, yeah, you can actually use both w/different monitors, etc... but that requires a more advance xorg.conf config... not *impossible* ;) | 22:59 |
| * linux_guy downloads tuxracer out of curiosity | 23:00 | |
| naxa | rdw200169, i installed ati in the agp slot 'couse i tried to install osx (experimentally) and it said that it needs an ati card. :) | 23:00 |
| maco | icui2i: im not in gnome right now, but there are widgets you can add to that panel for Display Desktop, Window Picker, Workspace Switcher, and Trash | 23:00 |
| zawazawa | is anyone here using irssi? | 23:00 |
| icui2i | maco: what kind of applets do I choose to do that? | 23:00 |
| eeheh | Right now, I don\t want to format my windows, i\m only intrested in fixing the mbr. I.e removing the Dual boot that ubuntu asked if I wanted to create when I installed ubuntu for the first time. | 23:00 |
| erUSUL | zawazawa: me | 23:00 |
| naxa | rdw200169, I see. :) but where can i see the type of the card? lspci's info doesn't showd me any sense (even if it was actually) | 23:00 |
| maco | icui2i: just look through the list. the names should be similar to the names i said | 23:00 |

| btQuark | i've tried to click on show password but it does not show anything | 23:01 |
| erUSUL | eeheh: we already told you how. boot with a windows cd into recovery mode and run « fixmbr » | 23:01 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, its very likely that /var/log/Xorg.0.log specifies the video cards it found | 23:01 |
| Imaginativeone | zawa: which client? | 23:01 |
| erUSUL | eeheh: for more details as in ##windows | 23:01 |
| linux_guy | erUSUL, he has no cd | 23:01 |
| zawazawa | irssi | 23:01 |
| Imaginativeone | ah | 23:01 |
| eeheh | I don\t have any windows cd at all. I lost it. | 23:01 |
| maco | eeheh: dont need to get rid of GRUB to get rid of the dual boot... | 23:01 |
| Imaginativeone | can you use /list ? | 23:01 |
| zawazawa | it doesn't seem to do anything | 23:01 |
| nightrid3r | do i need special software to mount mdf (alcohol120%) files ? | 23:02 |

| eeheh | I got a windows xp ISO file at my computer. Yay. Let's see what magic we can do here. | 23:05 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, somewhere in your menu there may be an app that shows you a windows-ish layout of your hardware | 23:05 |
| meoblast | my dad and step mom decided they wanted Ubuntu on this slow machine and when i ran the live CD i had some wireless issues.... could some one assist me in finding the easiest way to set this wireless card up? | 23:05 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, but i don't know, on 8.04 i installed a kde app for that b/c i couldn't find it | 23:05 |
| mr_daniel | nightrid3r: I am not sure if a fresh ubuntu installation is able to mount mdf files, but you can convert the mdf file into iso format and then mount the .iso http://ubuntuexperiences.wordpress.com/2006/12/13/mounting-mdf-images/ | 23:05 |
| HLM11 | need assistance with removing a non-empty folder on my desktop, please help | 23:06 |
| nightrid3r | oh cool | 23:06 |
| icui2i | maco: thank you..worked fine =) | 23:06 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, try this: gnome-device-manager | 23:06 |
| mr_daniel | I think there are also tools to mount mdf files directly, but I dont how they are called | 23:06 |
| meoblast | strange.. lspci reported it to be a broadcom but Windows reports it to be a Linksys | 23:06 |
| vishnu | i was working with Full visual effects enabled. when i played video. it flickers so i changed to normal. then now i cannot enable the visual effects. pls help | 23:07 |
| rdw200169 | meoblast, that's b/c linksys cards always use broadcom chipsets | 23:07 |
| Royall | Is it safe to delete the "Microsoft Windows XP Embedded" option from the GRUB menu.lst? | 23:07 |
| meoblast | vishnu: oh that's easy to fix..... open a terminal and type "compiz --replace" | 23:07 |
| zawazawa | erUSUL: thanks I'll have to read up on how to use that | 23:07 |
| gidna | Hi | 23:07 |
| meoblast | vishnu: sometimes with non-nVidia cards it will false report whether compiz can be started | 23:07 |
| TruthTaco | whats a "superspace" | 23:08 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, yeah, i just installed that, its very good | 23:08 |
| meoblast | vishnu: if that doesnt work, X server must be restarted | 23:08 |
| gidna | I don't like awn so I removed it.. but I don't have anymore the classic bar at the bottom.. | 23:08 |
| vishnu | meoblast: ok wait. i will test | 23:08 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: are there drivers for those or must i use ndiswrapper? | 23:08 |
| gidna | How can I reput it? | 23:08 |
| gidna | that one with the show desktop.. | 23:08 |
| eeheh | I copied the recovery tool over to the boot thingy, let\s see if it works. I will return later. Thanks and bye. | 23:08 |
| sak | hi | 23:09 |
| rdw200169 | meoblast, it's iffy, depends on exactly what chipset you have | 23:09 |
| naxa | rdw200169, ah. sometimes one cannot understand, why aren't some compnents are installed by default. | 23:10 |
| vishnu | meoblast: i tried 'compiz --replace'. still cannot enable effects | 23:10 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: how can i find out.. i'm not good with WIndows and Ubuntu off live CD could take a while to boot on this machien (plus there's no network in ubuntu on here) | 23:10 |
| vishnu | meoblast: when i tried it says 'Desktop effects could not be enabled' | 23:10 |
| rdw200169 | meoblast, do you have a 'restricted drivers available' icon whatzit in your taskbar? | 23:11 |
| meoblast | vishnu: pastebin me the terminal output | 23:11 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: no | 23:11 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, yeah, i agree, a hardware profile app is very useful! | 23:11 |
| vishnu | meoblast: ok | 23:11 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: although there are nVidia drivers on this machine | 23:11 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: i mean an nVidia card | 23:11 |
| Andry_Afk | my notebook doesnt have cdrom drive. anybody can tell me how to boot the livecd from a USB pendrive? | 23:12 |

| rdw200169 | naxa, you gotta admit, though: gnome-device-manager is pretty darn useful! | 23:13 |
| erUSUL | HLM11: you can not sdo it with the file manager? | 23:14 |
| HLM11 | no | 23:14 |

| naxa | rdw200169, still wondering why wasn't enough space for 144 kb in that cd image. | 23:14 |
| vishnu | meoblast: no ATI | 23:15 |
| linux_guy | Can compiz get along with video files yet in 8.10? | 23:15 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: how would i find which chipset this this wireless device has in it from windows? | 23:15 |
| nsadmin | alien might convert the package but the insides are not guaranteed to work | 23:15 |
| HLM11 | ok, its gone thanks | 23:15 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, meh, who knows? i'm sure there was a heated debate over removing it... but i don't feel like pouring through the launchpad to find out why | 23:15 |
| vishnu | meoblast: i have ATI chipset | 23:15 |
| meoblast | vishnu: well ATI and Intel use similar interfaces for drivers..... sadly... the only way to fix that is restart X as far as i know.... | 23:15 |
| rdw200169 | meoblast, well, you can use lspci or lsusb depending on how it's plugged in | 23:16 |
| meoblast | vishnu: in other words... save work... close programs..... Control + Alt + Backspace | 23:16 |
| naxa | rdw200169, linux people sometimes do very strange decisions. or at least very strange for me. | 23:16 |
| vishnu | meoblast: you mean restart the system | 23:16 |
| crdlb | linux_guy: the problem isn't compiz, it's your video driver, so the answer to that question depends on your video driver as it always has | 23:16 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: from windows? | 23:16 |
| erUSUL | rdw200169: lshw | 23:16 |
| rdw200169 | erUSUL, thanks | 23:16 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: it would take a good 15 minutes to get back into the live cd | 23:16 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: and a good 10 to get back into windows | 23:16 |
| rdw200169 | meoblast, ah, do you know what the model number of the card is? | 23:16 |
| JPSman | Hi | 23:17 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: yes i have it from System Info | 23:17 |
| rdw200169 | meoblast, like "linksys wrt54g v.10" or something | 23:17 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: Linksys LNE100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter (LNE100TXv4) | 23:17 |
| naxa | rdw200169, i was once 'debating' about why should ubuntu has a better file open/save dialog box... but people didn't beleive me that users need thumbnails in a gtk filechooser. that's very weird for me. | 23:17 |
| rdw200169 | meoblast, in this situation, the version number is very important, linksys likes to swap chipsets a lot | 23:17 |
| crdlb | linux_guy: fglrx (the proprietary ATI driver) is the only driver that still has consistently broken video unless you use unaccelerated X11 playback | 23:18 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: was that the version number? if not where can i get it? | 23:18 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, i have a bad habbit of customizing things endlessly, generally my ubuntu never ends up looking like the original :) | 23:18 |
| vishnu | meoblast: i am using Virtual Box. wil it affect the Visual effects | 23:18 |
| rdw200169 | meoblast, the box it came in, or on a sticker on the actual card | 23:18 |
| meoblast | vishnu: shouldnt... i think that is just a known bug in non-nVidia cards | 23:18 |
| rdw200169 | meoblast, but i don't think what you showed me is the wireless card, that's an ethernet adapter | 23:19 |
| meoblast | rdw200169: i dont know... and i don't think my dad would like me demolishing everything to get to the back of the machhine | 23:19 |
| naxa | rdw200169, really? can you give me some hints? i installed awn and some now logon themes but somehow i am allways lacking something in the end... can you give me hints? | 23:19 |
| naxa | now=new :) | 23:19 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, what do you want to do? | 23:19 |
| vishnu | meoblast: any patches available.. | 23:19 |
| naxa | rdw200169, just random cool stuff what you see on screenshots but don't know how to get | 23:19 |
| naxa | rdw200169, this is plan A | 23:19 |
| meoblast | vishnu: maybe typing "killall metacity" and then "compiz" would work | 23:20 |
| wers | is there a way to have both wicd and nm installed? :D | 23:20 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, well, with compiz you can use a replacement window manager called emerald to make pretty windows | 23:20 |
| meoblast | vishnu: metacity might be locking it out | 23:20 |
| meoblast | vishnu: be aware that your window title bars will go away after killing metacity | 23:20 |
| meoblast | brb gtg... i'll be back soon | 23:20 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, i was never a fan of awn (it crashed a lot at the time) so i use cairo-dock | 23:20 |
| vishnu | meoblast: ok | 23:20 |
| rdw200169 | naxa, that, and a lot of people really like conky | 23:20 |

| jrib | alien: I asked you to describe to me what the -o option does so that you can see it will be helpful. Instead you gave me a nonsense answer | 23:38 |
| jesio | hello all | 23:38 |

| GNUWorld | Sounds good to me | 23:47 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | Strawberry of course :) | 23:47 |
| illumin8 | you rule, whats up :) | 23:47 |
| GNUWorld | okay i am listening them... only for Strawberry | 23:47 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | I am seeking for a little help if that is okay | 23:48 |
| illumin8 | ask away. | 23:48 |
| rsista | Hello all..may be my question was lost in the thong discussion :-( I repeat | 23:48 |
| GNUWorld | On with the question :D | 23:48 |
| rsista | I have a backup question. I want to include Windows My documents directory (/media/disk/Documents and Settings) in my backup using tar while excluding the other stuff in /media. Can "tar" do this? | 23:48 |
| rsista | (Thanks for listening) | 23:48 |
| nightrid3r | HOMEMADEJAM sorry no cooking help here, we are geeks | 23:48 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | I have a text file... and I want to display in in the terminal... highlighting any text 'homemadejam' | 23:48 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | I have used the grep command to do this | 23:48 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | Although, I can only get it to display only the lines that contain 'homemadejam' | 23:49 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | I need it to display the full text file, but still highlighting the 'homemadejam' part | 23:49 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | ...if that makes any sense :) | 23:50 |
| nsadmin | HOMEMADEJAM: that;s what grep does | 23:50 |
| jrib | HOMEMADEJAM: is there a reason you don't just use a text editor? Please don't use enter as punctuation by the way | 23:50 |
| nsadmin | it prints only lines that match | 23:50 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | I still need it to print then lines that don't match too... and sorry about the enter thing :) | 23:51 |
| jrib | HOMEMADEJAM: and my question about a text editor? | 23:51 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | Oh sorry. Yeah, I am using an old server to paly around on... so it has no GUI | 23:52 |
| eater91 | Is anyone here familiar with ACPI on Intrepid, and how to trigger specific events when a laptop wakes up? | 23:52 |
| zsquareplusc | and still you could use an editor ;-) | 23:52 |
| jrib | HOMEMADEJAM: ok, my question is still valid... | 23:52 |
| w3rd_ | hey guys im trying to configure a lang pack and switch the language of my computer keyboard and the system it self... i followed the instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=172642 | 23:52 |
| zsquareplusc | vim file, then /wordtohighlight | 23:52 |
| w3rd_ | i was hoping someone could tell me what i did wrong | 23:53 |
| Animator | Hello people is there a way to auto mount my ntfs drives on startup so as i wont have to do it everytime i log in manually ? | 23:53 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | Okay, but all I need to do is to display a text file, highlighting a certian word, eg 'homemadejam'. I don't want to open it up in a text editor | 23:53 |
| jrib | Animator: install and run ntfs-config | 23:53 |
| zsquareplusc | w3rd_: you can choose the language when you log in. and the keyboard in system->prefs | 23:54 |
| jrib | HOMEMADEJAM: well you could do this in vi. What do you need to do this for? | 23:54 |
| w3rd_ | zsquareplusc: i did that ... and it still loads english | 23:54 |
| eater91 | HOMEMADEJAM: you can run "less yourtextfile" and then type /homemadejam | 23:54 |
| w3rd_ | im not sure why | 23:54 |
| zsquareplusc | HOMEMADEJAM: what is your idea of "highlighting" when you dont want to use an editor? do you want to convert the file to HTML for example, in order to use colors? | 23:55 |
| w3rd_ | the interface changes to an old version of gnome | 23:55 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | I'm just writing a script to view my Twitter feeds, and I am wanting to clearly see what I have posted, or who are sending me a reply | 23:55 |
| w3rd_ | but the language hanst change | 23:55 |
| leonardo_ | boa noite | 23:55 |
| jrib | HOMEMADEJAM: you want your script to color/highlight the output? | 23:56 |
| leonardo_ | boa noite | 23:56 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | Yeah pretty much. but to only highlight the words that I have chosen | 23:57 |
| zsquareplusc | HOMEMADEJAM: if its just for lokking at in the terminal, then why not less and then type /word | 23:58 |
| HLM11 | I need help with my keyboard layout... or something along those lines | 23:58 |
| jrib | HLM11: just ask the question | 23:58 |
| jrib | HOMEMADEJAM: well one way would be to just use ansi color codes yourself in your script | 23:58 |
| benpicco | Hi, how to make a screenshot of a fullscreen OpenGL Game? | 23:59 |
| HLM11 | I am playing a game and need to use the command 'toggleconsole' which is bound to ~ and I need to press a key after that, is there a way to change that? | 23:59 |
| EruditeHermit | hi can anyone explain the differences between icedtea, cacao and openjdk versions of java? | 23:59 |
| kitche | benpicco: depends on the game some have their own screenshot method | 23:59 |
| naxa | rdw200169, i am back | 23:59 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | How would you do something like that? :S | 23:59 |
