| mikeshollen | I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on a Dell Latitude C640 but I'm having problems. It's a 1.6GHz with 256MB ram. I tried Hardy and Intrepid, but it gets to the install GUI and just kinda lags out. The disc drive spins up and down and up and down. I did install Windows 2000 from the disc drive, so I'm not sure if the drive is bad or just having trouble reading my disc. Any suggestions? | 00:02 |

| Stargazer | Hey guys, i have an ubuntu machine that's not very powerful but it's doing small things... but... it has my external hard drive connected to and i don't want to disconnect it and mess something up. i have Samba on it but i can't seem to connect to that drive from my Windows XP machine(this desktop). any ideas ? | 00:03 |
| CDrone`` | Slart: | 00:03 |
| CDrone`` | dont u pass out '< | 00:03 |
| dkulchenko | Scunizi: i repartitioned the drive with gparted, and am now trying to install Ubuntu on one of the partitions. the Ubuntu installer does not see even a disklabel on the disk, even though it is clearly partitioned and mountable | 00:03 |
| niku | mikeshollen, the graphical installer requires more ram, iirc, there's an "alternate install" disk which will let you do a text based install | 00:03 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Thanks. Now, can you show the output of this slightly different command: "sudo fdisk -l" | 00:03 |
| DasEI | mikeshollen: use the alternate installe and see : | 00:03 |
| Slart | CDrone``: I'll try.. but if I wake up tomorrow with a keyboard stuck to my face I'm blaming you | 00:04 |

| ubottu | For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 00:04 |
| wickers | Stargazer, have you made the mount point of the external drive a share within samba's conf file? | 00:04 |
| CDrone`` | Slart: rofl | 00:04 |
| CDrone`` | :D | 00:04 |
| corinth | DasEI: Thanks, I'll see if I can get it to work. Thanks again! | 00:04 |
| mikeshollen | that's a great idea guys! | 00:04 |
| CDrone`` | so now should i pic the i380 ? | 00:04 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: http://pastebin.com/m3cfe635b doesn't seem any different... | 00:04 |
| wickers | Stargazer, you gotta tell samba that you want to share that drive | 00:04 |
| Stargazer | Wickers, no, i installed Samba and used Nautilus to share it. | 00:04 |
| CDrone`` | IntuitiveNipple: change ur nick man '< | 00:04 |
| Scunizi | dkulchenko: by disklabel do you mean it doesn't see the disk at all? something strange there since gparted and fdisk see it.. at what point in the install does it bork? | 00:04 |
| mikeshollen | I'll try that out and let you know how it goes. | 00:05 |
| * niku is downloading 166g over usb - this is going to take a while. :/ | 00:05 | |
| dkulchenko | Scunizi: gparted does not see it. fdisk does. | 00:05 |
| wickers | Stargazer, I'm not sure how Nautilus does sharing with samba... I've always just written the share by hand into samba's config files. | 00:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: A slight difference, and vital. The second command listed the offsets in *cylinders* whereas the first listed them in *sectors* | 00:05 |
| niku | s/downloading/backing up/ | 00:05 |
| CDrone`` | Slart: still u didn't tell me which to pick now ? | 00:05 |
| CDrone`` | ???????????? | 00:05 |
| Stargazer | Wickers, could you help me do that ? | 00:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: There's a know issue with some sector layouts causing the installer to fail. Your situation isn't affected by that though. | 00:05 |
| Scunizi | dkulchenko: ok.. when you boot the live cd does it boot ok? sounds like it does... but I want to verify | 00:06 |
| Slart | CDrone``: you haven't told me what the command said? | 00:06 |
| dkulchenko | Scunizi: i created the layout in gparted. then i went into fdisk, pressed "x" and then "f" to fix the drive names, then gparted could not see it anymore | 00:06 |
| CDrone`` | i told u | 00:06 |
| dkulchenko | Scunizi: am typing from it now | 00:06 |
| CDrone`` | its ends up with i686 Slart | 00:06 |
| Slart | CDrone``: ah.. sorry.. you did.. go for the i386 one | 00:06 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: what does the kernel see: show me the results of "cat /proc/partitions" | 00:06 |
| wickers | Stargazer, #sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf | 00:06 |
| CDrone`` | can i pm u slart , just to render this faster ? | 00:06 |
| Slart | CDrone``: sure | 00:07 |
| Myrtti | wickers: gksudo, if using gedit | 00:07 |
| wickers | Stargazer, from within the samba config file, you can read the different sections and waht they are used for | 00:07 |
| wickers | Myrtti, what's the difference? | 00:07 |
| Scunizi | dkulchenko: gparted should also be installed in the ubuntu live cd.. are the drives invisible to that gparted as well? | 00:07 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: http://pastebin.com/md493779 seems fine | 00:07 |
| _VIM_ | !gksu | wickers | 00:07 |
| ubottu | wickers: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 00:07 |
| steelcityjim | can anyone assist in loading a template webpage | 00:07 |
| B10S | what files should be in /etc/ssh/ by default? | 00:07 |
| dkulchenko | Scunizi: that is correct. parted, gparted, and ubiquity cannot see the drives, when the kernel, fdisk, and all others can | 00:08 |
| steelcityjim | having a problem getting it to launch and modigy | 00:08 |
| Jpdota | Knives: I see you have joined #ubuntu | 00:08 |
| steelcityjim | modify | 00:08 |
| B10S | only 3 files? | 00:08 |
| Myrtti | wickers: the other calls the gtk graphical frontend for typing the password, which is in theory a bit safer, not risking any files getting wrong permissions etc. | 00:08 |
| Myrtti | wickers: gksudo that is | 00:08 |
| mendoza | hi all, i'm installing intrepid on a low cpu powered netbook, does anyone have any recommendations for an ide/code editor which has autocomplete? almost an eclipse lite? | 00:08 |
| wickers | Stargazer, ok, as Myrtti said, gksudo instead of sudo gedit | 00:08 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Yes, that's good. Does this continue to happen if you restart the installer? | 00:08 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: yes, it does. maybe this is a problem with an extended mbr due to so many partitions? | 00:09 |
| steelcityjim | ok how do i edit the system files | 00:09 |
| steelcityjim | keeps telling me no access to delete | 00:09 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: I doubt it, unless a major regression has crept in. | 00:09 |
| steelcityjim | or edit | 00:09 |
| jimcooncat | I'm using apt-cacher with great results, but would like something more generic so I can cache my windows and openwrt packages too. Suggestions? | 00:09 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: I think you need to look at the installer logs. If I recall correctly, they are in /var/log/installer/ | 00:10 |
| wickers | Myrtti, thanks, I've always used sudo and it's worked for me but if this is a better way of getting the job done then cool | 00:10 |
| Scunizi | dkulchenko: as an experiment.. on booting the live cd at the menu where you choose what you initially want to do you're able to hit F6 and add/subtract from the kernel line.. get rid of quiet/splash and add pci=nomsi then continue with loading the live cd and try again.. | 00:10 |
| mikeshollen | I'm sorry guys, I'm having a little trouble figuring this out. I have the Ubuntu CD up, and I clicked on F6, but I'm not sure what to do now for text based install | 00:10 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: The thing to look at in particular is what partman shows when it repeatedly reports the disk partitions as it progresses | 00:10 |
| niku | jimcooncat, squid? | 00:10 |
| Stargazer | Wickers, what now ? | 00:11 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: bash: cd: /var/log/installer: No such file or directory | 00:11 |
| jimcooncat | niku: I suppose, it looked fairly complex. | 00:11 |
| wickers | ok, near the bottom of that text file you'll start to see the share sections | 00:11 |
| wickers | like [shareNAME] followed by options | 00:11 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: search around, I can't recall exactly what the directory is called. Try ls -d /var/log/ins* | 00:11 |
| Flare183 | Is it possible to convert .xm to .mp3 file on Ubuntu? | 00:11 |
| red-lichtie | Hi, I'm having issues with Intrepid after upgrading from Hardy 8.04 LTS. My network connection drops randomly, web fails, nslookup fails, etc (on WLAN, haven't tried eth). I don't see anything on any of the logs (messages,daemon,syslog,etc) that could point me in the right direction. Should I just wipe the partition and do a vanilla install ? Or is there a way to increase the log level of the network layer so that I can determine the issu | 00:12 |
| wickers | Stargazer, make one called [externalDriveName] | 00:12 |
| wickers | Stargazer, and follow the common options you see with the other shares in the file | 00:12 |
| niku | jimcooncat, basic proxy functionallity is pretty easy, you might need to tweak it to keep files with various extensions around for a while. You can always look @ webmin to configure it if you don't want to get into it deeply | 00:12 |
| wickers | Stargazer, like, you'll need a 'path', browsable, guest viewable, etc... | 00:12 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: turning up nothing. one sec, i'll search around | 00:12 |
| Flare183 | nvm | 00:13 |
| wickers | Stargazer, do you see what I mean? you're gonna follow some of the common options you see on the other shares that are written in that file | 00:13 |
| jimcooncat | niku: I guess it wouldn't be too hard to tell it to use only a handful of sites. | 00:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: What version of Ubuntu is that? It may be the locations have been changed since that version | 00:13 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: hardy | 00:13 |
| wickers | Stargazer, if you're not comfortable editing this kinda file to get the job done, then maybe someone can help with the gnome file managers' way of sharing that seems to be broken for you. | 00:14 |
| blip- | hi all, i'm just installed phpmyadmin from the ubuntu repos and restarted my system... but there isn't a phpmyadmin in my path.. any ideas | 00:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: okay... too long ago for me to remember the layout for that one | 00:14 |
| Stargazer | Wickers, there's a part with an example for sharing CD-ROM, would it be ok for me to edit that section and use it ? | 00:14 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: that was a release ago | 00:14 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: latest is 8.10, i'm on 8.04 | 00:14 |
| wickers | Stargazer, well the CD-rom example is set read only, and for obvious reasons, but you can alter it as you please | 00:14 |
| wickers | change the name too | 00:15 |
| burkmat | After adding the third party repos and updating, is there any reason aptitude wouldn't be able to locate adobe-flashplugin? | 00:15 |

| HWNOW | G'day everyone. | 00:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: I'm stumped then. Without being there and being able to 'fiddle'. Have you tried restarting the live-CD session? | 00:17 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: parted /dev/sda print turns up: Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition. | 00:17 |
| wickers | Stargazer, once you've completed the section, save the file, then restart the samba service | 00:17 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: yes | 00:17 |
| dtchen | burkmat: (adobe-flashplugin is only available for i386) | 00:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Yes, I was looking at the values for the partition table but not spotted anything abnormal. | 00:18 |
| wickers | Stargazer, to restart samba: #/etc/init.d/samba restart | 00:18 |
| burkmat | dtchen, hmm, checking that. good tip. | 00:18 |
| dkulchenko | Scunizi: [ 522.638492] EXT3 FS on sda1, internal journal and [ 522.638500] EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. are the only 2 relavant lines | 00:18 |
| _VIM_ | Whats that Virtualbox header file needed for guest tools? something like sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.26.28-dev? or what not... | 00:18 |

| dogmagitron | i thought command line applications use less resources - xmms2 is taking up 30% of my CPU? Can anyone explain? | 00:18 |
| wickers | Stargazer, err, my bad, that assumed you were root, but in Ubuntu you'd do the same only: #sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 00:18 |
| wickers | :p | 00:19 |

| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: that must've been fdisk when i did expert mode->fix partition order | 00:30 |
| red-lichtie | Is there a path to downgrade Intrepid back to current Hardy LTS ? (Yes, I know I should have made a back up before distro upgrade, but I didn't) | 00:30 |
| HWNOW | How do you enable DMA in a sata drive in Ubuntu 8.10, i have a * beside Udma2 ???? | 00:30 |
| fearful | Myx0x3: Through the update manager, go to System > Administrator > Software Sources | 00:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Try this, it will cause the kernel to re-read the partition table: "sudo partprobe /dev/sda" | 00:30 |
| rootcut | hi, can someone guide me through installing Gyachi on Intrepid? is it even possible? i didn't find .deb for intrepid, and terminal tar.gz install didn't work either | 00:31 |
| Myx0x3 | fearful: okey tnx :) | 00:31 |
| fearful | Myx0x3: In the third column theres one that says Release Upgrades, click normal | 00:31 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: partprobe gives: "Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.", the exact same error as parted | 00:31 |
| sirhc_ | hey guys .. i found some info that i think will get my remote going, but i am having some trouble understanding exactly how to implement the instructions. if any of you have a min. would you go through it with me and help clarify the grey areas? | 00:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Grrrrrrrrr | 00:31 |
| fearful | Myx0x3: You should update entirely your 8.04 before proceeding tho. | 00:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Have you installed anything in the partitions yet? | 00:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: If not, wipe the darn thing out and start afresh :) | 00:31 |
| corinth | Has anyone installed the HP mie version of Ubuntu from the usb .img file? | 00:32 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: 2 of the partitions were originally resized, the rest were added | 00:32 |
| chu_ | Hey, I've been reading, and it's possible I have a clash between apm and acpi? I've looked in synaptic, and have apmd and acpi installed, so it's possible, I guess, though I don't know how to find out if apm and acpi are running... | 00:32 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: i'm trying everything i can so that i don't have to backup and restart | 00:32 |
| B10S | can you use 8.10 server as a live cd? theres no option to do so | 00:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: okay... are all the partitions in the extended 'new' without anything in them? | 00:32 |
| HWNOW | How do you enable DMA in a sata drive in Ubuntu 8.10, i have a * beside Udma2 ???? | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | B10S: probably not | 00:33 |
| sebsebseb | B10S: you could have the server installed in a virtual machine though | 00:33 |
| Myx0x3 | fearful: okej tnx :) | 00:33 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: sda1 and sda7 are the two partitions that have stuff on them. sda1 is primary, sda7 is the 2nd to last logical partition on the extended partition | 00:33 |
| fearful | Myx0x3: Your welcome | 00:33 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: I've an idea... based on that error report. I wonder if the *start* of sda5 looks to the tools as if it is encroaching in the start of the extended sda4 | 00:34 |
| Myx0x3 | i have another problem also hehe :P i cant connect to my computer thrue Putty :S its local so i dont need open any ports, is there a guide to get it work? | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | Myx0x3: putty is annoying | 00:35 |
| Davedan | where does a package usualy put files that holds temp data? | 00:35 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: sda5 is the first logical part. of the extended partition | 00:35 |
| Uldtot | Anyone who can help me find a web controlled command line (i awnt to use command remotly on the web).. | 00:35 |
| Myx0x3 | sebsebseb: what should i use? :P | 00:35 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: which is sda4 | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | Myx0x3: you want to remote connect your Windows computer from Ubuntu? | 00:35 |
| mgolisch | Myx0x3: usualy it should work after installing the ssh service | 00:35 |
| red-lichtie | HWNOW, you need to provide more information about your HW. What chip set etc. | 00:35 |
| Myx0x3 | sebsebseb: no reverse ;) | 00:35 |
| unop_ | Davedan, depends on the package, the author, the requirements, etc | 00:36 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: sorry, misread what you said. you're right | 00:36 |
| Myx0x3 | mgolisch: OpenSSH? | 00:36 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Yes. If you look at the output of "fdisk -l" you can see that sda4 and sda5 appear to start at the same cylinder, but looking at "fdisk -ul" you can see they are sectors apart | 00:36 |
| Davedan | I want to create a simple package and I'll need to create temp files that will hold for several minutes untill the package deletes them | 00:36 |
| au_ | please help.. one i log into gnome, nothing happens..the screen is brown and there is only mouse cursor | 00:36 |
| Ahadiel | Myx0x3, openssh-server I think | 00:36 |
| au_ | please help.. WHEN i log into gnome, nothing happens..the screen is brown and there is only mouse cursor | 00:36 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: I'm wondering if we simply 'move' the start of sda5 to the next cylinder boundary and reduce its size correspondingly, if that might solve it | 00:36 |
| mgolisch | Myx0x3: yeah install the openssh-server package | 00:36 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: hmm.. just 126 sectors apart... | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | au_: ok so open up something and try and type? can you? | 00:36 |
| mgolisch | Myx0x3: its not installed by default | 00:37 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: how can i do that? | 00:37 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: If there is nothing in sda5 you might be able to delete that partition and recreate it in the free space and get the correct values | 00:37 |
| au_ | sebsebseb: no, there is no menu at all...only the cursor, nothing else | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | au: which version? | 00:37 |
| Myx0x3 | mgolisch: found it now :) <3 tnx <3 | 00:37 |
| au_ | sebsebseb: dunno... | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | au_: ok sounds like xorg may have gone wrong | 00:37 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Using "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" (so it is in cylinder mode) | 00:37 |
| mrglinux | hi oin my ubunu 8.10 Internet connection doesn't share to out . how can i do? | 00:37 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: you are correct. there is nothing is sda5. i'll do that now. | 00:37 |
| Ultraputz | if i want to add a command that starts up before GDM does, in which file would it go? | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | au_: you don't know what version of Ubuntu you got installed? | 00:37 |
| au_ | sebsebseb: I am now using console | 00:37 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: then force the kernel to re-read the partition table with "sudo partprobe /dev/sda" | 00:38 |
| au_ | sebsebseb: hardy | 00:38 |

| ninux | Ultraputz: this is beteen 2 Ubuntu machines | 00:38 |
| ninux | between | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | au_: you can type? | 00:39 |
| Ultraputz | ninux then one has to be a samba server | 00:39 |
| au_ | sebsebseb: tnx, Ill try..yup | 00:39 |
| mgolisch | Myx0x3: you would have to enable the root user, but why? whats bad about using sudo? | 00:39 |
| HWNOW | red-lichtie: Model=HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H10A (LG 16X Burner) | 00:39 |

| Ultraputz | yes] | 00:39 |
| Myx0x3 | mgolisch: maybe your right :P i could use sudo ^^ | 00:39 |
| Ultraputz | there's both | 00:39 |

| sebsebseb | ninux: Ubuntu to Ubuntu you would normally use SCP or something | 00:40 |
| red-lichtie | HWNOW, not the drive, but the chip set that is contolling the drive | 00:40 |
| Ultraputz | unless you need windows boxes to be able to connect _to_ your linux boxes | 00:40 |
| au_ | sebsebseb: its still the same :( there must be some gnome issues I think | 00:40 |
| rootcut | hi, can someone guide me through installing Gyachi on Intrepid? is it even possible? i didn't find .deb for intrepid, and terminal tar.gz install didn't work either | 00:40 |
| Uldtot | Anyone know a web command line, ( to install new software from the web, rebooting, removing, updataing etc....) | 00:40 |
| sebsebseb | rootcut: what's Gyachi? | 00:40 |
| ninux | sebsebseb: ah ok but u know I use NFS at the moment and it' a pain in the ass to mount the share evertime :) | 00:40 |
| Ultraputz | Uldtot, wget | 00:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Looks like it's a known bug... is this the same thing? https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/107023 | 00:41 |
| Ultraputz | Uldtot, curl | 00:41 |
| rootcut | a IM yahoo client for linux | 00:41 |
| scream | I created a partition that I want to keep some files on. I created a /home/user/distro "mkdir distro" and mounted the partition there. Now I try to create a directory in "distro" called files. Why do I get a permission denied error? I should not have to sudo to make a directory there? | 00:41 |
| Ultraputz | if you want a cli web client, install Lynx | 00:41 |
| rootcut | sorry, thought it was popular | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | rootcut: have you tried in Wine | 00:41 |
| === horstle_ is now known as horstle | ||
| Ultraputz | rootcut - pidgin | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | ninux: sorry, but I am not sure | 00:41 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: i'm creating a new partition with fdisk. the extended partition is at ***200 and the first logical wants to begin at ***263, and does not let me force it to ***200. | 00:41 |
| HWNOW | red-lichtie: am a noob, how do you find out?? | 00:41 |
| Uldtot | Thanks guys ^^ :D | 00:41 |
| ninux | sebsebseb: ok thx anyway | 00:41 |
| red-lichtie | rootcut, check out pidgin | 00:41 |
| au_ | anyone can help me? I cant log into gnome | 00:41 |
| rootcut | utraputz: i need webcam support, pidgin doesn't have it | 00:41 |
| rootcut | sebastien, what does Wine have to do with it ? | 00:42 |
| * spirited smiles | 00:42 | |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Are those sector or cylinder numbers? | 00:42 |
| Ultraputz | rootcut -- that's a different issue. there's Ekiga, which is general open SIP... | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | rootcut: yes MSN on AMSN or Kmess and you got web cam, just not with Yahoo :d also Wine might be able to run your app | 00:42 |
| R0b0t1 | Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the shiny aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. | 00:42 |
| mylisto | hey all | 00:42 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: i've switched to sector mode | 00:42 |
| B10S | what files should be in /etc/ssh/ by default? | 00:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: And, no, don't force it... let the logical start at 263 if it feels the need | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | rootcut: if you want web cam, well you can have it with MSN if you use AMSN or Kmess | 00:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Make the changes in cylinder mode, that is safest | 00:42 |
| fearful | rootcut or just simply get Skype | 00:43 |
| rootcut | well the app is linux based, so i don't see how wine has anything to do with it ... and i need webcam support on yahoo .. | 00:43 |
| mylisto | I'm trying to get my gigaware usb headset to work in ubuntu...it shows up...but no audio is coming from the headset...only from the pc | 00:43 |
| HWNOW | red-lichtie: am a noob, how do you find out?? | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | rootcut: Yahoo sucks anyway | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | rootcut: Wine is for running WIndows apps on Linux distro | 00:43 |
| rootcut | sebastien, yes i know that .. but all my friends are idiots apparently, and use yahoo | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | rootcut: well that's interesting, because normalley they use MSN, not yahoo, the idiots lol | 00:44 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitibeNipple: fdisk says "WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot." could that be why it is not updating? | 00:44 |
| rootcut | sebastien, i know what wine is .. but since Gyachi is a linux app.. again, what does wine have to do with installingi t ? | 00:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Use partprobe to reread it | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | rootcut: ok what linux downloads do you have for your app? | 00:44 |
| red-lichtie | HWNOW, lspci, find out what controller your mobo has then check out the ubuntu support for that | 00:44 |
| ari_stress | good morning guys :) | 00:44 |
| rootcut | w8 a min | 00:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: "sudo partprobe /dev/sda" | 00:44 |

| fearful | islan, don't we all:p | 00:45 |
| rootcut | there's a taz.gz for 1.1.0 | 00:45 |
| HWNOW | red-lichtie: will do. | 00:45 |
| R0b0t1 | Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the shiny aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. | 00:45 |
| Myx0x3 | how do i search whit apt-get? O:) | 00:45 |
| islan | I'm just realizing how much I missed it after a long gaming binge with WinXP | 00:45 |
| rootcut | i tried it .. there's instructions in INSTALL.txt .. but the first command fails | 00:45 |
| rootcut | and ./configure tells you to read install.txt :| | 00:45 |
| andrey22 | guys | 00:45 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: partprobe returning same "constraint" error | 00:45 |
| andrey22 | does anyone have a website here? | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | rootcut: ok I see | 00:45 |
| fearful | Myx0x3: Applications > Insta/Remove Program | 00:45 |

| sebsebseb | andrey22: yeah I got two online right now | 00:46 |
| rootcut | sebsebseb, thanks a lot for looking into it | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | rootcut: not not done yet | 00:46 |
| red-lichtie | rootcut, do you have the dev tools installed (compiler, etc) ? | 00:46 |
| fearful | Myx0x3 Add/Remove will give you a list, and you can search or use that command | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | rootcut: you will need to compile that program yourself | 00:46 |

| * dkulchenko 's brain hurts | 00:46 | |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Shall I explain what I think is happening? | 00:46 |
| spirited | I need to know what program(s) to download in order to play games on Ubuntu like: World of Warcraft. Could someone please tell me so I can go to that website? | 00:46 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitiveNipple: please, if it's not too hard | 00:47 |
| fearful | islan: Yea | 00:47 |
| Myx0x3 | fearful: im trying to use manage my computer whit putty so i need to use apt thing :P | 00:47 |
| kevin_zhong | guys, I need a little help :) | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | rootcut: heh yeah it's been a while for me, someone else here can hopefully explain to you how you install a .tar.gz. it did come in a tar.gz the program? | 00:47 |
| R0b0t1 | Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the shiny aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | spirited: I think WOW works in Wine | 00:47 |
| spirited | Ok so Wine is one I need to install huh? What is the other? | 00:47 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: this is theory. The extended partition has extents (start - end) in the primary partition table. The extended partition table is the first sector of the extended partition. If the first *logical* partition entry in that extended partition says it starts in the same place as the extended partition table itself, that error might be the result :D | 00:48 |
| broken_ | ok ebox downloaded, i'm gonna install it now | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | spirited: look here. http://www.winehq.org and http://www.appdb.winehq.org | 00:48 |
| spirited | thanks! | 00:48 |
| red-lichtie | rootcut: try "sudo aptitude install build-essential" before trying to run configure | 00:48 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitibeNipple: but it does not. that's why it's forcing me to start the logical partition 63 sectors away from the extended start | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | spirited: well there's Wine and commercial versions of it | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | that are meant to be paid for | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | wine is the opensource one | 00:49 |
| rootcut | red-lichtie, thx i'll try | 00:49 |
| HWNOW | red-lechtie: I have a Corssfire Xpress 3200 ATI | 00:49 |
| kevin_zhong | I was installing Ubuntu 8.10 through Wubi, still hadn't logged in for the first time, and the computer is connected to a monitor, and after the Ubuntun image came up, the TV started to say Not Support! could that be the TV isn't supported by Ubuntu. | 00:49 |
| broken_ | uldtot, gonna install it now | 00:49 |
| joljam | I need to run a program called unetbootin from the command line in ubuntu 8.04 ..can someone help me.. i al a relatively newbie in linux | 00:49 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Factor into that explanation that many disk tools require measurements to align on *cylinder* boundaries and you can see why the error might be happening | 00:49 |
| islan | sebsebseb: are those commercial ones still pay-per-year/ | 00:49 |
| islan | ? | 00:49 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitibeNipple: so i can't do anything short of a reformat? | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | spirited: also for games that aren't 3D, and with enough RAM, I think a virtual machine of Windows would be ok. | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | spirited: that is if it won't work in Wine or whatever you could try in a vm as long as it's 2D | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | islan: nope not pay per year | 00:50 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: Oh sure you can.. when it comes down to it, it's only 2 x 48 bytes that has maybe one 16-byte entry slighlty wrong | 00:50 |
| spirited | There is another app someone mention that ran games; does anyone know what that is? I have 3D shooters. | 00:50 |
| islan | sebsebseb: cool, I remember there being one that was a forced donation of $50 per year or some-such | 00:50 |

| Krstnsn | so i have a website that wont render right in firefox... how can i emulate IE? | 00:50 |
| Krstnsn | theres not firefox extension. | 00:50 |
| dkulchenko | IntuitibeNipple: but how can i fix that short of editing the inodes with magnets? :) | 00:50 |
| fearful | spirited: I think you have to pay tho.. | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | yes Crossover is one of the commerical apps I was on about | 00:50 |
| ninux | Hey guys how can i auto mount a share into FSTAB? | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | and there's Crossover games now | 00:50 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dkulchenko: join me in #disk-recovery where we can think quietly :) | 00:51 |
| islan | does Crossover do a good job? | 00:51 |
| red-lichtie | rootcut, then, when (if) ./configure complains about missing stuff, you'll have to install therelated " *-dev" packages | 00:51 |
| spirited | Hmm ok... well let me read about wine. | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | islan: Crossover is pretty good yeah | 00:51 |
| fearful | islan: I'm sure it does, if you have to pay for it.. | 00:51 |
| islan | I heard that you can run certain Steam games perfectly on wine | 00:51 |
| === iron_man_ftw is now known as away_man_ftl | ||

| Davedan | can I pass a value between two bash scripts? | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | islan: there's Cedega as well, but that's not liked by the wine community, since they took loads of code, gave nothing back, and made it into a commercial app | 00:51 |
| islan | the graphics were poor and it tended to crash | 00:51 |
| rootcut | red-lichtie, i just re-downloaded it .. the install.txt tells me to firstly run "./autogen.sh" then the usual configure, make, sudo make install | 00:51 |
| fearful | islan: Yea I couldn't say haven't tested, I don't really game maybe when D3 comes out :) | 00:52 |
| rootcut | so i do that .. but the autogen.sh fails | 00:52 |
| islan | but that could be the fault of the mac | 00:52 |
| rootcut | should i paste you the error ? | 00:52 |
| sebsebseb | islan: oh your on a Mac | 00:52 |
| islan | no, I'm not | 00:52 |
| islan | the Mac was at work | 00:52 |
| sebsebseb | well | 00:52 |
| sebsebseb | Windows can run quite well on the Mac, since bootcamp | 00:52 |
| fearful | I hate windows | 00:52 |

| islan | but if I could run my PC games perfectly, then I would ditch Windows and never look back | 00:53 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: ,but look we got gamers wanting to use Linux, but yet the commercial Windows games companies most of them won't make for it | 00:53 |

| sebsebseb | islan: you may have to dual boot for now | 00:53 |
| sebsebseb | islan: and with some effort you can get a lot of Windows games running in Wine anyway | 00:54 |
| islan | sebsebseb: eh, it's not too bad | 00:54 |
| sebsebseb | islan: ,but you need know how | 00:54 |
| islan | oh, I do | 00:54 |

| sebsebseb | fearful: probably again in the future they will do that | 00:55 |
| islan | I read an article one guy wrote about using wine to run TF2 "perfectly" I might try it out sometime | 00:55 |
| HWNOW | red-lechtie: are you asking for the chipset for the north or south bridge? | 00:55 |
| rootcut | paste site ? | 00:55 |

| broken_ | uldtot, having some issues with the install, gonna try it again in an hour. gotta go do family stuff for a moment | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | ok that was a bit weird | 00:58 |
| fearful | yes | 00:58 |
| islan | and I was gonna ask him if he needed his /etc/X11.org file reset | 00:58 |
| nickrud | normal for #ubuntu | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | a sort of troll I guess | 00:59 |
| red-lichtie | rootcut: try `apt-get install libtool` | 00:59 |
| rootcut | on it. | 00:59 |
| islan | I once tried debian. the people in the debian chat though made me go running for the hills | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | islan: lol why? | 01:00 |
| islan | sebsebseb: I heard about linux-elitists. never met any until then | 01:00 |
| _VIM_ | lol | 01:00 |
| nickrud | sad but true | 01:00 |
| R0b0t1 | Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the shiny aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. | 01:00 |
| nickrud | good help, if you get past the asking | 01:01 |
| sebsebseb | islan: ha ha I see, well Debian isn't really the distro of choice of so called Linux elites. I mean they will want to use stuff like Slackware, ArchLinux, and Gentoo | 01:01 |
| anakron | join #ubuntu-motu | 01:01 |
| islan | sebsebseb: I was asking for help with this LinuxFromScratch experimental build I was doing, and I got shouted at by some of them | 01:01 |
| baz | what happens if i install 32bit ubuntu on my system with 6gb of ram? Do the last 2gb just never get used? What about if i use vmware to host more OS's? | 01:01 |
| islan | and one guy said something like "you're like a kid trying to play in the street, and we're trying to keep you from getting hit by a car" | 01:01 |
| sebsebseb | islan: well Gentoo is meant to be like Linux from scratch | 01:01 |
| nickrud | baz, it's simply not addressed | 01:01 |
| islan | it was just an experiment I was doing, something small | 01:01 |
| rootcut | red-lichtie: still didin't work...... http://paste.ubuntu.com/118651/ | 01:01 |
| ddunn | HELP Network manager is not looking for access points | 01:01 |
| islan | in my early days of linux to help me learn | 01:02 |
| fearful | sebsebseb: I personally like ArchLinux out of those three mentioned | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: I was so close to trying them on vm on my old computer, but then finally the hardware screwed up properly | 01:02 |
| baz | nickrud, is there no way to make use of it all using VM's or similar? | 01:02 |
| CompuHacker | Gentlemen. Ladies. | 01:02 |
| islan | Sir Compu | 01:02 |
| * islan tips hat | 01:03 | |
| CompuHacker | Tis me. | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: yeah Arch is popular | 01:03 |
| * CompuHacker does same | 01:03 | |
| nickrud | baz, you have to recompile your kernel with some extra support; you're better off using 64bit if you want to access that mem | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: still need to try that | 01:03 |
| randal_ | how do you turn compiz off | 01:03 |
| HWNOW | red-lichtie: I did find any good inforamtion on ULi 1575 Chipset for my motherboard. The only problem I have is that the DVD burning is at 1.2X everything else works fine? | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | randal_: easy | 01:03 |
| islan | randal_: that should be in your System > Preferences | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | randal_: system preferences appearnce | 01:03 |
| * nickrud has far too much time invested in debian style system management and too old to learn another. | 01:03 | |
| sebsebseb | then go to visual effects | 01:03 |
| islan | ah, is it in Appearance now? | 01:04 |
| randal_ | oh that compiz lmao that so easy | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | islan: yeah | 01:04 |
| islan | the last time I used it it had some kinda control panel of its own | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | islan: there's a advanced settings manager for it yeah | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | that has everything | 01:05 |
| islan | ohh, yeah, needed that advanced stuff :) | 01:05 |
| sebsebseb | some company made | 01:05 |
| sebsebseb | a cube for Windows :( | 01:05 |
| red-lichtie | HWNOW, I pushed you in the right direction, but I don't have your HW, so I can only hope that you find a solution from here on in | 01:05 |
| Darth_Tux | hi all, i am a new Ubuntu user, about 4 and a half hours thus far | 01:05 |
| islan | yeah, I've been out of the Ubuntu-loop for the past year or two | 01:05 |
| sebsebseb | I saw on BBC Click UK technology program | 01:05 |
| sebsebseb | I was not happy about that | 01:05 |
| islan | Darth_Tux: happy birthday | 01:05 |
| sebsebseb | ,but it's only a 14 day trial to, so not many people are going to buy or pirate I expect | 01:05 |
| Darth_Tux | islan, i like it ok, just need to change some things in it for my use | 01:06 |
| spirited | How do you kill a process like in windows: alt ctrl delete? | 01:06 |
| sebsebseb | Darth_Tux: yeah and know where the hidden user data folders are and such | 01:06 |
| fearful | spirited | 01:06 |
| sebsebseb | Darth_Tux: and about which apps are good to install | 01:06 |
| sebsebseb | and how to install stuff with commands :) | 01:07 |
| red-lichtie | rootcut: try `apt-get install autoconf automake` | 01:07 |
| Myx0x3 | can someone recomend a IRC klient that i can run from Putty? :P | 01:07 |
| spirited | what? read the manual? | 01:07 |
| fearful | spirited: sudo killall | 01:07 |
| dogmagitron | hi #ubuntu anyone know of a command line app that can run mp3? | 01:07 |
| spirited | from console? | 01:07 |
| wasabi2 | ati | 01:07 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: you mean from termial? | 01:07 |
| fearful | dogmagitron: try xmms2 | 01:07 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: yes :) | 01:07 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: irssi | 01:07 |
| fearful | spirited: Yes, you can type top before to get the name | 01:07 |
| dogmagitron | fearful: thats just my problem - xmms2 takes up 30% of system resources | 01:08 |
| Darth_Tux | sebsebseb, actually the sudo thing bugs me, the sound when gnome starts is annoying | 01:08 |
| dogmagitron | fearful: im looking for an alternative | 01:08 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: screen and irssi works great together.. | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | Darth_Tux: lol well the sound can be changed | 01:08 |
| fearful | dogmagitron: don't know any which are terminal based to be honest | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | Darth_Tux: and sudo is good | 01:08 |
| islan | Darth_Tux: can't fix the sudo thing, but System > Preferences is there for you | 01:08 |
| dogmagitron | fearful: thanks | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | islan: well a seperate root account could be used | 01:08 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: whats screen? :P | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | islan: like other distros | 01:08 |
| islan | sebsebseb: hmm, but I wouldn't recommend it personally | 01:09 |
| sebsebseb | islan: same here | 01:09 |
| === DemoM[away] is now known as DemoM | ||
| sebsebseb | islan: ,but then again what if they have a bad sudo password and someone gets hold of and bang | 01:09 |
| rootcut | red-lichtie: thank you, that worked... well, at least i got past that step :) .. thanks again | 01:09 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: magic for the console..:). once you putty into a linux machine then sudo apt-get install screen .. after install type screen and you'll get a disclaimer screen .. hit enter.. and you back to a console prompt | 01:09 |
| sebsebseb | islan: or no firewall and bad sudo password, so someone gets in | 01:09 |
| fearful | sebsebseb: there's away to reset the sudo password | 01:09 |
| red-lichtie | rootcut, gl :) | 01:10 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: well plenty of rootkits for Linux | 01:10 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: okey? but what is it? :P | 01:10 |
| R0b0t1 | Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the shiny aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. | 01:10 |
| islan | and if you have a bad sudo password, then you'll probably have a bad root pswd :P | 01:10 |
| sebsebseb | yeah and then someone can get in | 01:10 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: from that point you don't have to open different ssh or putty sessions to do different things on that box.. and you can "disconnect" from that screen session and putty connection and come back later to resume right where you left off. | 01:10 |
| sebsebseb | and install a rootkit | 01:10 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: are you putty'd into a machine now? | 01:10 |
| kingsley | How do you use a floppy drive? | 01:10 |
| shinygerbil | R0b0t1: every time you repeat yourself, the word 'shiny' is used and I get a bump/ | 01:10 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: yes :) | 01:11 |
| R0b0t1 | shinygerbil: XD. | 01:11 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: I'll walk you through some of the tricks.. sudo apt-get install screen irssi | 01:11 |
| === horstle_ is now known as horstle | ||
| spirited | sudo killall comes up with many options. | 01:12 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: WHAA X) i started irssi how do i get out of it? :P | 01:12 |
| fearful | spirited lets say you want to kill firefox, you would do sudo killall firefox | 01:12 |
| fearful | sebsebseb whats good firewall for ubuntu | 01:12 |
| spirited | ah ok | 01:12 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: wait.. did you also start screen? | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | Darth_Tux: security is good, and you get good default security here, unlike with Windows | 01:12 |
| amshake | hey guys | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: what's a good firewall for any OS? simple a a hardware firewall in say the router that is enabled | 01:13 |
| islan | hey amshake | 01:13 |
| amshake | I'm having a REALLY hard time getting any network shares to work. | 01:13 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: no :P i started irssi before you told me to get screen :P | 01:13 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: /quit will exit irssi and dump any connections | 01:13 |
| Darth_Tux | sebsebseb, i am not new to linux, i like su | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: hardware firewalls are meant to be the best | 01:13 |
| spirited | trying to kill the package installer... how can I see the true name of the process? | 01:13 |
| jake_ | hello | 01:13 |
| amshake | Specifically between two ubuntu machines.... I've got samba installed and have used the nautlilus right click options, but still can not browse shares | 01:13 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: ooh, i tried /exit hehe :P | 01:13 |
| fearful | sebsebseb well how can I get one on my router | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | Darth_Tux: I thought that was you that, said didn't like sudo | 01:13 |
| fearful | spirited, why the package installer? | 01:13 |
| jake_ | hello | 01:14 |
| fearful | spirited, getting errors of lock, there is other ways around it | 01:14 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: once you exit type screen | 01:14 |
| amshake | I setup a workgroup of "LinuxMachines" and can see that, but can not see the machines | 01:14 |
| islan | sebsebseb: yeah, he wishes it was su isntead | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: most routers that have been sold in the last few years or so, have a hardware firewall as part of them | 01:14 |
| Darth_Tux | i dont like sudo, i prefer to su | 01:14 |
| islan | instead* | 01:14 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi:yeas | 01:14 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: yes* | 01:14 |
| spirited | Yes was trying to install limewire and went throught the dialogs and it was running a package installer. | 01:14 |
| _VIM_ | !fixapt | 01:14 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 01:14 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: ok.. now type irssi | 01:14 |
| red-lichtie | fearful: a FW that stops outgoing connections, i.e. it stops bots caling home | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | spirited: music pirate | 01:14 |
| spirited | music pirate? | 01:14 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: yeah :) | 01:14 |
| usser | spirited, why limewire and not frostwire | 01:14 |
| fearful | red-lichtie can you give me one | 01:14 |
| spirited | becasue I didnt know about frostwire.:P | 01:15 |
| jrib | Darth_Tux: what exactly don't you like about it? It's pretty much the same from an end-user point of view | 01:15 |
| sebsebseb | spirited: well if your using limewire I assume you will be wanting to pirate something | 01:15 |
| usser | spirited, frostwire even comes in a deb package | 01:15 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: you now have irssi loaded in "window" number 0.. push ctrl+a (small a) | 01:15 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: now push c | 01:15 |
| sebsebseb | yes frostwire, better than limewiere, but torrents for the win :) | 01:15 |
| R0b0t1 | Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. | 01:15 |
| spirited | ug no comment.:) | 01:15 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: did it take you back to a console prompt? | 01:15 |
| spirited | Ok I'll look up frostwire | 01:15 |
| LostChain | can anyone help me figure out why my video in ubuntu 8.10 flickets in my video player | 01:15 |
| red-lichtie | fearful: don't connect directly to the web (if you only have 1 box) and use a UML system with IPCop+BOT (Block Outbound Traffic) | 01:16 |
| sebsebseb | spirited: limewire and frostwiere LOL torrents for the win | 01:16 |
| red-lichtie | UML = User Mode Linux | 01:16 |

| Darth_Tux | jrib, when i am actually doing something is root i tend to be doing a few things, typing sudo everytime seems a bit much | 01:16 |
| LostChain | can anyone help me figure out why my video in ubuntu 8.10 flickets in my video player | 01:16 |

| spirited | Yep I am a noob. | 01:18 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: huh ?:P | 01:18 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: did it split? | 01:18 |
| usser | sebsebseb, hey torrents dont work everywhere you know | 01:18 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: did not understand that sorry :P | 01:18 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: ctrl+a shift+s | 01:19 |
| sebsebseb | usser: you mean like at a univeristy or something, and the guys doing the net, has the port blocked? | 01:19 |
| _VIM_ | Do any of you use a Sony HandyCam on Ubuntu? if so what software if any do you use? | 01:19 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: yes now, set title window to bash or somthing :P | 01:20 |
| usser | sebsebseb, university, but here verizon throttles torrent traffic, on a tracker i normally get 100-150, with verizon its 10-15 | 01:20 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: ok.. is irssi in the top or bottom? | 01:20 |
| sebsebseb | ok | 01:20 |
| red-lichtie | rootcut, you are going to see this for each and every missing "....-dev" toolkit, although I'm not sure what the alsa on is (maybe `apt-get install alsa-dev` ?) . | 01:20 |
| red-lichtie | s/on is/one is/ | 01:21 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: top :P | 01:21 |
| rootcut | red-lichtie, k i'll look in synaptic maybe ... | 01:21 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: ok.. and the cursor is blinkin in the "entry" line for irssi? | 01:22 |
| fearful | Is firestarter good? | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: how Linux does firewalls now that's interesting | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: ,but I can't really say much, worth finding out about that though | 01:22 |
| Myx0x3 | yes :P | 01:23 |
| quantumkenny | All: Ubuntu 8.10, my sound just stopped working, produces only static, using ALSA | 01:23 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: yes* | 01:23 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: or its green :P | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: firestarter is ok | 01:23 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: now ctrl+a TAB to shift to the lower half that is empty.. now ctrl+a c | 01:23 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: but i can enter text there | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: ,but you should read up on how firewall works with linux I think, and about what ports being blocked and when | 01:23 |
| prince_jammys | wow, you really must be bored, giving step by step tutorials on how to use gnu screen | 01:23 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: aha nice! :( | 01:23 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: :)* | 01:23 |
| red-lichtie | rootcut: synaptic won't help you much IMHO, when building from source you really have to read the README, especially the requirements bit ;) | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: heh you been running Ubuntu without a firewall then? | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | every Internet connected OS needs an enabled firewall simple as that | 01:24 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: how do i make itlook like this: [_] [_] if you understand :P | 01:24 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: it gets better.. you're catching on that ctrl+a is always teh preface for any other command | 01:24 |
| adante | hi guys i've got some really wierd behaviour with pinging a windows box on local lan | 01:24 |
| adante | if i ping the ip it pings as normal | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | this is Ubuntu not Windows suppourt | 01:25 |
| adante | if ping the hostname it also pings but takes a really long time | 01:25 |
| sebsebseb | you can go to #windows for that | 01:25 |
| _VIM_ | wrong channel adante | 01:25 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: not sure I understand | 01:25 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: hmm... now they are horisontal | 01:25 |
| homeskill | what does it mean in /etc/shadow if a user has a * for a password field? | 01:25 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: i want it ehm, whats the others name? XD | 01:25 |
| fearful | sebsebseb yes I have | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: yeah get yourself sorted out with a firewall, and ideally a hardware firewall, if you got a router it may already have one | 01:26 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: not sure I'm following.. | 01:26 |
| fearful | sebsebseb yea how can I check? | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: Linux distros can be broken into as well. you know | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | every Internet OS can be cracked into | 01:26 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: side by side? or one on top of the other? | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | Internet connected OS | 01:27 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: i want the fields to be Vertikal | 01:27 |
| TheAngryBunny | don't most linksys routers have firewalls built in? | 01:27 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: yeah side by side | 01:27 |
| vip3rousmango | All linksys routers have firewalls | 01:27 |
| red-lichtie | sebsebseb: What ? (Shock ! Surprise !) Ubuntu is not supported by windoes ? ;) | 01:27 |
| jrib | homeskill: 'man shadow' should explain. Basically, the user won't be able to login | 01:27 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: maybe someone already been in there, but you didn't know | 01:27 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: that would be a verticle split.. sorry it doesn't do that from what I've been reading.. | 01:27 |
| homeskill | jrib i thought thats what ! did | 01:27 |
| joljam | i am trying to install unetbootin .. can someone help me please | 01:27 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: I did not say that, I said that every Internet connected OS should have a enabled firewall | 01:27 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: oooh :( | 01:27 |
| jrib | homeskill: take a look at the man page | 01:27 |
| fearful | sebsebseb: I do know that, how can I check if my router has a firewall? | 01:27 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: your router configuration page | 01:28 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: now if you want to experiment a little .. try ctrl+a c in either window or split half | 01:28 |
| sebsebseb | assuming you have one :D | 01:28 |
| homeskill | the man page says both ! and * mean they wont be able to login. i just dont understand why theres 2 diff things tha tmean the same thing | 01:28 |
| fearful | sebsebseb yea ok well I got to go for dinner I'll tell you after :p | 01:28 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: heh, okej ^^ | 01:28 |
| red-lichtie | fearful, most routers don't port forward anyway | 01:28 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: now sudo apt-get install surfraw elinks | 01:28 |
| Myx0x3 | maybe i can read in: man screen? :P | 01:28 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: whats that? ^^ | 01:28 |
| Scunizi | red-lichtie: sure they do | 01:29 |
| jrib | homeskill: the man page says more than that. ! and * are examples | 01:29 |
| joljam | sebsebseb can you help me please ...with installing a program .. i downloaded a *.BIN file and typed ./filename... but its not working | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: ah ha you know about firewalls more than me? | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | joljam: ah yes .bin | 01:29 |
| red-lichtie | unless you have enabled UPnP support for the applications | 01:29 |
| vip3rousmango | joljam: you have to chmod +x the file first to make it excutible | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | joljam: which app? | 01:29 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: elinks is a terminal browser for the internet and surfraw is something that allows searching the net FAST before loading the browser | 01:29 |
| joljam | sebsebseb..its unetbootin | 01:29 |
| _VIM_ | !info surfraw | 01:30 |
| ubottu | surfraw (source: surfraw): a fast unix command line interface to WWW. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.1-2 (intrepid), package size 84 kB, installed size 556 kB | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: so port forwarding yeah. so since Linux distros tend not to have anything that calls back home, unlike insecure WIndows installs. a firewall in a way may not be needed? ,but people that have an insecure sudo password, could get cracked anyway? | 01:30 |
| red-lichtie | sebsebseb: I meant "by default", you obviously can configure them | 01:30 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: okey? ^^ but ill use firefox in Windows if i need anything, i dont have the fastest internet connection :P | 01:30 |
| joljam | sebsebseb...I want to create intrepid usb using unetbootin.. thats why I am trying to install unetbootin in LTS | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | joljam: why was I picked out of everyone here? | 01:31 |
| namasamaran | cumi | 01:31 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: terminal searching is quick because there's no graphics involved.. did you load it? | 01:31 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: or install it?? | 01:31 |
| Eiremhaith | hello room | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | joljam: bins are a bit of a pain in the arse, and I haven't made a bootable USB for Ubuntu | 01:31 |
| joljam | sebsebseb..no one was answering my question earlier..thats why | 01:31 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: sorry no :P but i dont think ill need it hehe :P | 01:31 |
| vip3rousmango | joljam: Did you chmod +x thefile.bin? | 01:32 |
| sebsebseb | joljam: someone already said what to do with bin | 01:32 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: ok.. one thing you need to learn is how to detach and reattach to screen.. | 01:32 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: heh, okej ? :P | 01:32 |
| Pelo | anyone else have the fast user switcher applet kill x ? using the nvidia 180 driver ? | 01:33 |
| joljam | vip3rousmango:- I did a chmod 700 | 01:33 |
| red-lichtie | My Intrepib box is still messed up all the same after upgrading from LTS | 01:33 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: to detach ctrl+a d ... try it.. everything will disappear | 01:33 |
| R0b0t1 | Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. | 01:33 |
| dtcrshr | hi there! im having dificulties with a pendrive. how do i manage to it mout itself automatically? | 01:33 |
| joljam | vip3rousmango..just now I did a chmod +x also | 01:33 |
| dtcrshr | iv installed autofs, but didnt worked | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: messed up in what way? | 01:33 |
| joljam | but it says.. vip3rousmango | 01:33 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: okej :P did i kill irssi? | 01:33 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: or is it still running? | 01:33 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: nope that's part of the magick.. | 01:33 |
| Pelo | dtcrshr, should mount automaticaly to your desktop when you plug it in , what is happening if not that ? | 01:33 |
| joljam | vip3rousmango..../unetbootin-linux-313: error while loading shared libraries: libaudio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 01:33 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: oooh ;) | 01:33 |
| vip3rousmango | joljam: whaaaa, ok hold on one sec | 01:34 |
| red-lichtie | sebsebseb: Ramdom loss of connection with nothing in the logs :( | 01:34 |
| dtcrshr | well, its not mounting | 01:34 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: you could even close the putty session and it would continue to run | 01:34 |
| dtcrshr | im insertint directly on the mobo connectors | 01:34 |
| dtcrshr | they are activated from the bios | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: Internet connection? | 01:34 |
| hlm | I need help, I have to Ethernet cards, how do I select one that im not connected to? | 01:34 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: heh okej :P but how do i get it back? :P | 01:34 |
| fatbrain | How would I go about copying all folders from my current one to some other? cp -r ./ dest/ ? | 01:34 |
| dtcrshr | and the pendrive lights flashes when i plug it in | 01:34 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: to reattach you need to know what the screen number is.. so now type screen -ls | 01:34 |
| Pelo | dtcrshr, plug it in , open a terminal , type sudo blkid , do you see it there, also type lsusb , do you see it there | 01:34 |
| _VIM_ | I have surfraw installed how do i use it? I tried reading the -help but I'm not seeing anything usefull 'surfraw -g' didnt work either | 01:34 |
| prince_jammys | screen -DR | 01:35 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: the line that is shown has a 4 digit number at the beginning of it. to reattach type screen -r <number> | 01:35 |
| vip3rousmango | joljam: I'm not sure why it's giving that error.. did you sudo chmod? | 01:35 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: okej :) | 01:35 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: how do i remove the others? | 01:35 |
| Busbee | Hello everyone! | 01:35 |

| Scunizi | _VIM_: sr google <search parameter> | 01:35 |
| red-lichtie | sebsebseb: nslookup fails, etc, but WLAN drivers say they have 100% signal. So I'm thinking of just flattening the box and going back to LTS | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: I see | 01:36 |
| _VIM_ | Scunizi: ah ok thank you :) | 01:36 |
| red-lichtie | sebsebseb: nothing in syslog, daemonlog, messages | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: yeah wireless can be a pain | 01:36 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: yep.. you typed screen 5 times just after you loaded it.. so you have to attach to one at a time and see if there's nothing there then /exit | 01:36 |
| the_dark_warrio | I have installed pidgin from source code, but removed it now with make uninstall. I then installed pidgin from the repos, and all images icons which are used by pidgin are gone. I tried apt-get --reinstall install pidgin, but it didn't work. Any hints? | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: well hardy and intrepid not much difference anyway | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: and next Ubuntu is out in April | 01:37 |

| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: to do with the kernel maybe | 01:37 |

| Busbee | Quick question from an Ubuntu newbie: Somehow, my resolution was set to 320x240 and I can't reach the menu to correct that manually. Is there any way that I can open the console with a keyboard shortcut of some kind (Since I can't reach that menu, either) and type in a command to set the resolution to 1280x1024 instead? 3rd party graphics drivers installed and verified working. | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: maybe you could like ndiswrapper hte windows driver for your device | 01:38 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: hmmm :P | 01:38 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: /exit does not work :S | 01:38 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: hang on | 01:38 |
| usser | Busbee, alt+f2 type gnome-terminal<ENTER> | 01:38 |
| Pelo | Busbee, sudo dkpk-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:38 |
| usser | Busbee, and use xrandr to set resolution | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: have you got a seperate home folder? | 01:39 |
| dtcrshr | Pelo: , i got sda 1 to 8, but none of them is usb something | 01:39 |
| Busbee | Thanks, I'll try that now | 01:39 |
| dtcrshr | all ext3, besides one swap | 01:39 |
| Pelo | dtchen, what file system is this usb stick in ? ntfs ? fat ? fat32 ? | 01:39 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: bash: /exit: No such file or directory :S | 01:39 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: /quit maybe | 01:40 |
| prince_jammys | Myx0x3: just regular: 'exit' | 01:40 |
| Pelo | dtcrshr, what file system is this usb stick in ? ntfs ? fat ? fat32 ? | 01:40 |
| dtcrshr | fat | 01:40 |
| red-lichtie | sebsebseb: Yeah, maybe. I did a lot of compiling/configuration, maybe the distro upgrade broke some of that (I'll have to diff the dpk_old files) | 01:40 |
| dtcrshr | i use it regularly with an xp machine at work | 01:40 |
| Pelo | dtcrshr, what does lsusb tell you ? | 01:40 |
| Myx0x3 | prince_jammys: aha :) now it worked Scunizi ^^ | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: if you have a seperate home folder. that makes ubuntu re installing easier, or if you like other distro installing easier | 01:40 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: I knew it was something like that :/ | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: also next version has Ext4 :) and so loads of us will clean install for that I expect, that is the more experienced Ubuntu people | 01:41 |
| rootcut | red-lichtie, i found the answer to the alsa problem .. thing is.. i don't know how to use it: "Install the alsa devel packages (using yast) and then try running ./configure again." ... how do i use yast ? | 01:41 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: hehe nps :P | 01:41 |
| Dethray | Anyone know what the latest core 2 duo mobile is? | 01:41 |

On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. How do I get my function keys to act "normal"? | 01:42 |
| dtcrshr | http://pastebin.com/m3bb06176 | 01:42 |
| Pelo | dtcrshr, hold on | 01:42 |
| islan | R0b0t1: you're right, you did | 01:42 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: you mean close it entirely? you can "exit" all the screens and they won't be running.. on reboot of the remote machine will also close screeen and it won't restart on reboot without you typing screen | 01:42 |
| red-lichtie | sebsebseb: home isn't the issue I fear, it was all the twiddling that I did in etc and /lib/ to get my laptop working just right. (/me kick himself now for not dd'ing the drive before the distro upgrade) | 01:43 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: I was just saying about home, to make your re installs easier, if you have a seperate home folder | 01:43 |
| Pelo | dtcrshr, the problem might be with the computer, try another usb device ( preferably a usb pen or music player) , try another usb port , check your bios settings to make sure you have usb enabled or whatnot | 01:43 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: yeah close entirely :P whitout reboot | 01:43 |
| vip3rousmango | R0b0t1: Does your keyboard have an F-Lock key? | 01:43 |
| dtcrshr | ok | 01:43 |
| dtcrshr | thanks | 01:44 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: well actsaul end user features, not much difference between hardy and intrepid anyway | 01:44 |
| dtcrshr | ill double check the bios | 01:44 |
| kevin_zhong | can anybody help me with a quick question? | 01:44 |
| R0b0t1 | vip3rousmango: No, nothing even remotely resembling one. In MacOS, I had to check an option in the system settings, however I am unable to find something like that in Ubuntu. | 01:44 |
| Pelo | kevin_zhong, you need to ask it first | 01:44 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: plus then you will probably want to try the next version in April anyway as I was saying | 01:44 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: is there a "short" commant to exit all at the same time? or do i have to "go into" everone and type exit? :/ | 01:44 |
| red-lichtie | sebsebseb: definately | 01:44 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: just exit as the other nick suggested.. to close the split ctrl+a shift+x | 01:44 |
| kevin_zhong | lol, ok. Question is, can I write Mandarin Chinese in Ubuntu? I take a Chinese class, and I have to be able to | 01:44 |
| vip3rousmango | R0b0t1: hmm, The only other thing i can think of is to manually reassign the keys under the keyboard layout settings under Administrator | 01:45 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: each one is running independantly.. so yes you have to go into each one as far as I know.. | 01:45 |
| Pelo | kevin_zhong, the answer is probably yes , #ubuntu-cn might be a better place to ask | 01:45 |
| Pelo | how | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: so you could try and configure this, but then not have intrepid for long anyway, or fail at configuring, and downgrade to hardy. and then clean install the next one | 01:45 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: okey :/ | 01:45 |
| kevin_zhong | oh, okay, thanks | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: no shame in downgrading to hardy, in fact that is the long term suppourt release anyway | 01:45 |
| R0b0t1 | vip3rousmango: Where might that be located? | 01:45 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: well, i have to go to bed now :P im realy tired as you maybe can recognize XD | 01:45 |
| Busbee | Problem resolved! Thanks, help channel! | 01:46 |
| sileni | did compiz ever get that bug fixed where firefox always started up full screen | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: and yes wireless can be a right pain in Linux distros, thanks to manufactures that don't suppourt it properly with their devices | 01:46 |
| Scunizi | Myx0x3: np.. :) | 01:46 |
| red-lichtie | sebsebseb: Question is, can I downgrade to hardy without having to do a wipe | 01:46 |
| Pelo | sileni, I use compiz and I never get that so I guess yes | 01:46 |

| R0b0t1 | vip3rousmango: And within that, any idea which button I'd hit? | 01:46 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: tnx for the help im realy glad that you helped me :) | 01:47 |
| vip3rousmango | R0b0t1: Sorry but no, my keyboard had the F-Lock key, which solved my issue. | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | red-lichtie: so the OS it self needs to be wiped, but you can have your stuff in a seperate home folder partition and keep that | 01:47 |
| Myx0x3 | Scunizi: now i feel like a pro whit linux ;) just kidding ;) | 01:47 |

| yajohny | hi all :) | 01:49 |
| R0b0t1 | Pelo: Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that.

| Pelo | R0b0t1, I'm gonna take a wild guess that those keys are set in what ever the mac version of a bios is . you'll probably need to disable it from there | 01:51 |

| nwillettjeffrie1 | Any gurus out there know a command to recursively search a directory for files with a specific file extension and then move all of those files to a different directory? | 01:53 |
| R0b0t1 | spirited: If you need an antivirus for Ubuntu, I'd have to say you're doing something wrong. | 01:53 |
| _VIM_ | !virus | spirited | 01:53 |
| ubottu | spirited: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 01:53 |
| red-lichtie | Ubuntu installation is probably your best AV :) | 01:54 |
| spirited | reading now thank you. | 01:54 |
| jrib | nwillettjeffrie1: use « find » | 01:54 |
| evilGUI_ | red-lichtie: Window ME is such a nightmare =( | 01:54 |

| aprilhare | that and windows 9 | 01:55 |

| sebsebseb | MaxRide: loads of those | 01:56 |
| Pelo | maxg__, brassero , gnomebaker | 01:56 |

| vip3rousmango | The only window's i'll install in a pinch is Windows2k, best windows as far as Windows goes... | 01:56 |
| aprilhare | sebsebseb, yeah but usually its windows 98 | 01:56 |
| usser | MrGoodkat_, you mean all the deb file? | 01:56 |
| MaxRide | sebsebseb: What's the default installed app? | 01:56 |
| Pelo | MaxRide, brasero , gnomebaker | 01:56 |
| joljam | need help using liveusb | 01:56 |

| MrGoodkat_ | yes usser | 01:56 |
| aprilhare | windows 95, i have found, has this self destructive habit | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | MaxRide: Brasero disk burner | 01:56 |
| usser | MrGoodkat_, sudo dpkg -i /directorywheredebsare/*deb | 01:56 |

| sebsebseb | MaxRide: find it in your menu | 01:56 |
| islan | one day I might have a Win98 comp just to play old PC games | 01:57 |
| MaxRide | sebsebseb: For some reason it got uninstalled (Actually running EEEBuntu, so that's probably not an oversight) | 01:57 |
| aprilhare | there are probably machines with windows 3.11 but they would be in third world countries | 01:57 |
| vip3rousmango | islan: WINE can emulate 98 :P | 01:57 |
| Pelo | MrGoodkat_, if you have an internet connection why not just sudo apt-get install the package you want , the dependencies will be added automaticaly | 01:57 |
| aprilhare | :) | 01:57 |
| DeadRobot | I love wine. :P | 01:57 |
| MrGoodkat_ | pelo no internet connection | 01:57 |

| Pelo | MrGoodkat_, you can list multiple packages in the command , sudo dpkg -i packageone pakcagetwo etc , put the dependencies first | 01:58 |
| aprilhare | MaxRide: do us a favour and try double clicking on a iso file. tell us what happens | 01:58 |
| islan | joljam: gunzip <file> | tar -xv | 01:58 |
| vip3rousmango | DeadRobot: type /list | 01:58 |

| spirited | interesting | 01:58 |
| MaxRide | sebsebseb: It opens. | 01:59 |
| vip3rousmango | DeadRobot: oh.. type /list in IRC to see a list of channels :P | 01:59 |
| Pelo | DeadRobot, you jight regret doing that , there are several 1000 channels on this network, and I think /list is disabled | 01:59 |

| MaxRide | sebsebseb: Sweet deal. Thanks! | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | MaxRide: also it's a good idea to md5 check sum your ISO before burning | 01:59 |
| usser | spirited, that is correct you dont | 01:59 |
| DeadRobot | thanks | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | MaxRide: ISO for? | 02:00 |
| spirited | wow nice. | 02:00 |

| Pelo | spirited, you might want one so you don'T pass along viruses to your windows using freinds, but for linux you don'T realy need one | 02:00 |
| MaxRide | sebsebseb: Knoppix, for cloning a laptop. | 02:00 |
| sebsebseb | MaxRide: well 99% of the time it will have downloaded correctly, but still a good idea to md5check sum | 02:00 |
| red-lichtie | spirited: try http://www.clamav.net/ | 02:00 |
| sebsebseb | MaxRide: cloning a lap top? | 02:00 |
| MaxRide | sebsebseb: Yea. | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | MaxRide: just re install the OS on there | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | or | 02:01 |
| noogie | I just tried clamav, and it requires root to update, and i couldnt figure it out | 02:01 |
| red-lichtie | spirited: try `sudo aptitude install clamav clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam` | 02:01 |

| Pelo | noogie, in a terminal, not in the app launcher | 02:03 |
| noogie | i know | 02:03 |
| vip3rousmango | spirited: If you want, you can go into the Add/Remove and search Virus, their are about 2 - 4 apps already their to download if you really want an antivirus solution | 02:03 |

| L3Tum | Hi everyone. I installed Fedora 10 on a second machine a few nights ago but was/am having problems getting ethernet to work. So I decided to install ubuntu 8.10 on it since I have 8.04 on this machine and I'm more familiar with it. However, every time I try to boot the live cd it does not boot. I says boot from cd:, sits a few minutes, then boots fedora. For some reason I can get it to boot the cd after about 6-7 tries, but then when I try to in | 02:03 |
| L3Tum | stall I get a continuous screen of SQUASHFS errors. I searched all over google, and have found that I could try setting ide=nodma, but I can't get the cd to boot now. The cd drive works. I can see the files on the cd from fedora. I'm burning the cds from this machine, and all cd checks turn out fine. Does anyone have any advice? | 02:03 |
| sadaiyappan | Hi | 02:04 |
| B10S | http://192.168.0.10/phpmyadmin why does it say "Not Found" ? | 02:04 |
| Pelo | ammagendut, open sypantic, do a search for zip, several pakages for 7zip will be visible, insgtall them , fileroller will be able to unpack 7zip files | 02:04 |
| sadaiyappan | how come open office 3.0 is not supported by ubuntu? | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | L3Tum: sounds like a bad CD | 02:04 |
| noogie | try localhost/phpmyadmin | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | L3Tum: or your CD drive has gone bad | 02:04 |
| spirited | thanks for the links and thanks for the advice. | 02:04 |
| B10S | noogie: still not working | 02:04 |
| sadaiyappan | ? | 02:04 |
| Pelo | L3Tum, cd might be damaged , try in another comp, or change the boot order in your bios | 02:05 |
| ammagendut | ok thanks Pelo | 02:05 |
| islan | L3Tum: I would also recommend trying a DVD over a CD | 02:05 |
| the_dark_warrio | Oh, I did it =p | 02:05 |
| sadaiyappan | for that matter, most of ubuntus software is outdated | 02:05 |
| the_dark_warrio | i had to remove pidgin-data in order to restore the icons | 02:05 |
| vip3rousmango | sadaiyappan: OOo 3.0 isnt fully stable compaired to 2.4.. which is why they chose to continue 2.4's support untill 3.0 becomes less buggy | 02:05 |
| MaxRide | sebsebseb: I'm cloning my EEEPC's disk to DVD because I want to change up the OS for a bit, but I'll end up going back to how it is now. | 02:05 |
| sadaiyappan | oh ok | 02:05 |
| Pelo | sadaiyappan, different version, ubuntu only updates to fixes , not new versions, 3.0 will probably be in the next ubuntu release | 02:05 |
| sadaiyappan | ok | 02:06 |
| L3Tum | Even though the cd loads in fedora on that machine and shows files and all? I tried making another cd thinking it was bad, and same thing.The boot order is coirrect, I made sure a few times | 02:06 |
| vip3rousmango | ... that too | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | vip3rousmango: nice story, but I think. it's, because Ubuntu only does security updates, until a next release. w ith the exception of some ppas | 02:06 |
| mien | just wondering if there's any ubuntu/linux experts in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia? | 02:06 |

| deddert | there are locks on some of my music files i drag in off my cdrom | 02:07 |
| vip3rousmango | sebsebseb: yeah, you're right. I forgot that its updates not upgrades. The new Ubuntu should have 3.0, but I use gOS 3, I find it soo much easyer as a ubuntu 8.04 dirivative | 02:07 |

| deddert | does anyone know how to get the locks off my music folders i dragged onto my harddrive | 02:09 |
| vip3rousmango | sebsebseb: Ahh, I find that Ubuntu itself kills my laptop's ram.. I don't know why, Kubuntu was a little easyer but if I do too much it slows down to a crawl. gOS I havn't had that issue happen yet, and I've been trying | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | well Xubuntu is nice to | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | that's the more light waight one | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis | deddert, set the ownership or permissions to be correct for the user you are using. | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | how much RAM? | 02:09 |
| L3Tum | But SQUASHFS errors are a cd thing, or do they have to do with the machine? | 02:09 |
| vip3rousmango | 512mb | 02:09 |
| deddert | how do i do that dr williis | 02:09 |
| mamaro | Dr_willis, yes | 02:10 |
| Dr_willis | mamaro, many torrent clients can 'watch' a directory and auto-load torrents from them.. set up some shared location, and hafe the client watch - you just save the torrent to that location and away it goes. | 02:10 |
| mamaro | oh ok. | 02:10 |
| Dr_willis | mamaro, at least tahts one way to do it | 02:11 |
| vip3rousmango | mamaro: azereus (now VUSE) can do that fuction described above | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis | so can ktorrent, and rtorrent, and utorrent :) | 02:11 |
| mamaro | Grr. used to love azureus.. | 02:11 |
| vip3rousmango | as do i, i'm not a fan of vuse, I reverted back to the old az | 02:12 |
| vip3rousmango | but its a solid bt download app | 02:12 |

| WebcamWonder | donald: Usually, the themes are mutually exclusive when it comes to GTK, and icons. That is why they are classified under different categories on gnome-look. As far as films go, I guess you would have to mix and match | 02:23 |
| nsadmin | MrGoodkat_: how can you transfer files to it? | 02:23 |
| WebcamWonder | !webcam | fakhriz | 02:23 |
| donald | other than transformers, no other movie came up | 02:23 |
| ubottu | fakhriz: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 02:23 |

| binarymutant | donald, I don't think anyone can help you look for a theme, it's personal preference | 02:23 |
| thebloggu | jrib, thanks :) | 02:23 |
| JesperHansen | Nathan_: throw in a live cd, mount the harddrive, chroot to it, grub-install, reboot. | 02:23 |

| JesperHansen | Nathan_: well, I am getting the same error right now. | 02:24 |
| WebcamWonder | !sound | jhonnyboy | 02:24 |
| ubottu | jhonnyboy: 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).

| jmatrix | is the default mozilla browser in ubuntu 8.1 supposed to fade out ? I'm running it on a USB stick and for some reason the default browser always fades while browsing... might be the USB delay since its not as fast a disk | 02:30 |
| jmatrix | like when it is thinking/waiting | 02:30 |
| Dolo | is there a gui type app I can use for making my own custom ubuntu cd? | 02:30 |
| jmatrix | for data | 02:30 |
| donald | im looking now, just wondered | 02:30 |
| WebcamWonder | jmatrix: The fade will happen when the application is not responding. It is done by the default WM that comes with Ubuntu. And yes, if it is heavily working/waiting for IO, it will, but it shouldn't | 02:30 |
| donald | only finding things like transformers and die hard | 02:31 |
| donald | heh | 02:31 |
| donald | just looking for something classy | 02:31 |
| WebcamWonder | Dolo: There is an Amazon program on ubuntu as beta. You can try that out if you want to | 02:31 |
| fakhriz | WebcamWonder: do you hate me ? | 02:31 |
| Dolo | got a link to it? | 02:31 |
| WebcamWonder | donald: Making a new theme is surprisingly easy. If you want to create a new set of icons/desktop wallpaper. You can go ahead | 02:31 |
| WebcamWonder | fakhriz: Why would you say that | 02:31 |
| jmatrix | thanks for a excellent answer to a silly question. :) | 02:31 |

| Nathan_ | nothing, still getting error 15 | 02:32 |
| JesperHansen | !recover | 02:32 |
| donald | how do you change the icons??// | 02:32 |
| ubottu | Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 02:32 |
| WebcamWonder | fakhriz: I know nothing about getting webcams to work with linux | 02:32 |
| JesperHansen | !ext3 | 02:32 |
| ubottu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 02:32 |

| fakhriz | joljam: what error you got ? | 02:44 |

| MaxRide | u_u; For that mount issue....it wouldn't work, so moved it back to windows and unmounted it cleanly....still didn't work...then windows wouldn't mount it anymore (after trying FSCK)...so I said to myself "I'll just format the stupid thing and remake the back-up onto it..."....stuck it back into Ubuntu and it auto-mounted. u_u;;; | 02:44 |

| alicia | how would i do that? | 02:46 |

| redvamp128 | wolter: I don't use ichat or bonjour - but possibly if it works like myspaceim -- goto accounts then find that account and there may be add list from server option. (just a quick thought) | 03:55 |
| rj_ | everyday | 03:55 |
| rj_ | wat is the commands | 03:56 |
| TiZ | chuckf: Yes, but it normally doesn't affect vlc. | 03:56 |
| rhino0nT | Thanks all, see you... | 03:56 |
| Ultraputz | i screwed up my init rcs, and the system is coming up read-only, how do you force a remount to rw so the file can be edited and corrected? | 03:56 |
| Droopsta915 | Anyone know why I mount c /home/"my name"/dosgames, and dosbox doesn't mount? In the dosbox.conf of course. ;) | 03:56 |
| wolter | redvamp128, but i am using pidgin, not ichat. | 03:56 |
| chuckf | TiZ: for giggles you might want to turn it off just to eliminate that as an issue. | 03:56 |
| TiZ | chuckf: Good idea. Just one moment. | 03:56 |
| TheFlood | i just got ubuntu on my laptop and i didnt realize how easy it was to install stuff | 03:57 |
| TheFlood | apt-get command rocks | 03:57 |
| RHorse | rj, you have to find out what the device is, first | 03:57 |
| redvamp128 | wolter: I am using pidgin as well but goto accounts then find that account - see if there is an option to download form server there- also try buddies - show- offline buddies (your friends may or may not be on) | 03:57 |
| rj_ | its my fileserver PC | 03:57 |
| rj_ | its a shuttle XPC | 03:58 |
| RHorse | rj, type sudo fdisk -l | 03:58 |
| rj_ | running on ubuntu 6.06 server | 03:58 |
| RHorse | rj, and pastebin the results | 03:58 |
| RHorse | !pastebin > rj | 03:58 |
| rj_ | is it i need to this command in my server or in the shuttle XPC | 03:59 |
| revilodraw | random logout to a black screen anyone? | 03:59 |
| redvamp128 | wolter: depends on how that Im client is set up- I know with MyspaceIm I have to periodically tell it to update the list from the server. | 03:59 |
| G-Bleezy | Hey so i'm tryin to setup file sharing and im reading this thing right....and it says this: 1) In XFCE's Applications -> System -> Shared Folders. (This should trigger a Samba install if you don't already have a share, and it should allow you to define the proper workgroup) | 03:59 |
| RHorse | rj, in the computer to which you want to mount the file system | 04:00 |
| TiZ | OKAY. I switched to metacity, and my X server died. That's been happening at random, too. But I can't nip every problem in the bud. >:| | 04:00 |
| TiZ | One more try. | 04:00 |
| rj_ | ok, the XPC is running on 192.168.89.55 and my server running on 192.168.89.100 | 04:00 |
| revilodraw | cputemp? | 04:01 |

| joobie | hey guys.. my understanding of ubuntu is /etc/network/interfaces should list the information for the eth0 device.. however i don't have anything in the file for my eth0 device, though it looks like it's pulled an ip address from DHCP.. is there config else where for eth0 that has told it to use dhcp?? | 04:02 |

| joobie | redvamp128, i dont have xorg setup.. interested to know how it works in the back end | 04:06 |
| joobie | is there another location for the network configs apart from interfaces file that coiuld be bringing the int up? | 04:06 |
| n8tuser | joobie -> interfaces file does not bring up the interfaces | 04:07 |
| joobie | n8tuser, where would it define to use eth0 as dhcp? | 04:08 |
| n8tuser | joobie -> in the interfaces file, but perhaps a new rule can be added via udev | 04:09 |

| TiZ | Hi. I'm having a serious problem with VLC. I don't know why it started happening. When I open VLC, no window appears. If I try to open a video with it, I can hear the sound playing, but there's no window, so no video. It also starts to consume memory voraciously, until there's none left and the system comes to a halt. I have to killall -9 vlc before I lose all of it, else only the power button will recover my computer. Can anyone help me? | 04:12 |
| revilodraw | how hot is normal for a laptop running fair;y intense progs (firefox, exaile, vlc, etc) | 04:12 |

| Shoopuf | grinn: Use the "Add/Remove Programs" menu choice and search for KDE apps? :) | 04:14 |
| fifthrune | TiZ: try deleting the config files, should be in home under .config/vlc | 04:14 |
| TiZ | fifthrune: I'll move 'em. I don't want to lose them if that's not the cause. | 04:14 |

| rods | If I install extra dependencies, can that interfere with other dependencies? | 04:17 |
| n8tuser | MrGoodkat_ -> /var/cache/apt/archives i think but am not 100% sure | 04:17 |
| n8tuser | rods -> deb packaging supposed to take of that, | 04:18 |
| MrGoodkat_ | n8tuser, when i copy the files i downloaded via wget to there i still cant update anything | 04:18 |
| rods | n8tuser -- if it only comes as a tarball? | 04:18 |
| n8tuser | MrGoodkat_ -> what are you trying to do? | 04:18 |
| rods | sorry left the room for a sec | 04:18 |
| n8tuser | rodserling -> tarballs are not deb packages | 04:18 |
| rods | n8tuser I'm aware of that. If it doesn't come as a deb package however... | 04:19 |
| rods | but in the readme is explains the dependencies needed that do not match what I currently have in my system | 04:19 |
| TiZ | Is there an easy way to revert to normal packages after removing a third-party software source? | 04:19 |
| MrGoodkat_ | n8tuser, i have no inet connection on my new laptop, so i try to fetch all the packages via wget on my other computer, transfer them to the lappi, mark all upgrades in synaptic, make a synaptic install script and download all debs on my other computer | 04:19 |
| n8tuser | rods -> then try to met the dependencies | 04:19 |
| rods | n8tuser is it possible for this then to interfere with currently-used dependencies, or are they mutually exclusive? | 04:20 |
| n8tuser | MrGoodkat_ -> you are doing something I have not done before, so dont know what to advised you of, other than making your internet access work first | 04:20 |
| MrGoodkat_ | n8tuser, i need a kernel upgrade in order to get the wifi card working | 04:21 |

| n8tuser | MrGoodkat_ -> huh? a kernel upgrade just to get a wifi working? what chip does your wifi card have? | 04:22 |
| MrGoodkat_ | the new atheros | 04:22 |
| jaminkle | are there any good music players on linux... everything i have tried sucks big time | 04:22 |

I can't do it with aptitude, because it "can't find the packages to download." I can't do it with gdebi, because "a newer version is installed." And I can't do it with apt-get because "the latest version is already installed" | 04:33 |

| jaminkle | amarok dosen't even work | 04:33 |
| jaminkle | saying can't play mp3.. yet everything else plays mp3s fine | 04:34 |
| redvamp128 | limpc: You could try AcetoneISO2 it says it can handle a .dmg If it is not in Apt then you can get the .deb from www.getdeb.net | 04:34 |
| neohaven | limpc: not directly, not out of the box, and no you can't. :P As far as I have played with those I own, I don't remember seeing any other way than getting some ftp or ssh server running on it. | 04:34 |
| TiZ | jaminkle, install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package | 04:34 |
| rww | TiZ: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, find and select the package to downgrade, Package > Force Version. That's worked for downgrading for me in the past, anyway. | 04:34 |
| neohaven | limpc: a .dmg is just an HFS+ filesystem piped through bzip. | 04:34 |
| TiZ | rww: I'll try it | 04:34 |
| FAJALOU | jaminkle: try going to system>preferences>sound and switch those around. | 04:34 |

| limpc | also http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/how-to-mount-your-iphone-filesystem-on.html | 04:35 |
| rww | TiZ: or uninstall the packages and reinstall them. That tends to work if Force Version doesn't. | 04:35 |
| FAJALOU | TiZ: that possible, but i know that i did that once and i installed banshee, and sound disappeared for me. | 04:35 |
| neohaven | limpc: yeah, needs SSH and jailbreak. As I said earlier. | 04:35 |
| mepholic | 𝑺𝑼𝑷 𝑮𝑼𝒀𝑺 | 04:36 |
| neohaven | limpc: In that case, you wouldn't really mount the iPhone/iPod Touch, but more like connect to it with scp. | 04:36 |
| limpc | neohaven: sshfs :P | 04:37 |
| numus | ubuntu would only install without a swap drive for some reason.. can i use grub to partition out a swap drive or do i need to reinstall | 04:37 |
| MrGoodkat_ | RHorse, could i possibly upgrade the packages using an intrepid alternate cd without upgrading the dist? | 04:37 |
| TiZ | rww: But they're x11 libs. It's probably highly inadvisable to uninstall x11 libs for any amount of time. | 04:37 |
| neohaven | limpc: you're *still* not connecting directly to the filesystem on the device, which is a variant of HFS+. :) | 04:37 |

| numus | pepperjack how | 04:38 |
| neohaven | limpc: anyway. with sshfs it's gonna be doable, but you need OpenSSH working properly first. | 04:38 |
| numus | pepperjack doesnt it need to be on its own partition | 04:38 |
| vigo | ronin_: Lynks and others are available in the repositories. | 04:39 |
| neohaven | limpc: and the sdk wouldn't even compile on linux. Apple's gcc is... peculiar, same for their make system, and their gcc actually can produce ARM .app folders... | 04:39 |
| JazzplayerL9 | speaking of sshfs...I just switched over to ubuntu on my server and I'm trying to figure out why sshfs isn't working for me. I can ssh in just fine, I can see my samba shares just fine...but sshfs gives me the Connection reset by peer error. Anyone know what is going on? | 04:39 |
| limpc | neohaven: that AcetoneISO2 link on getdeb.net is dead :( | 04:39 |
| pepperjack | numus: no. you can make a file and then format it and point to it in /etc/fstab as your swap or make a partition either way | 04:39 |

| redvamp128 | neohaven: I said that because all he said at first was that he needed to open a .dmg and it does support opening a .dmg file- Though I didn't know he was trying to access a phone - so that is why I stepped out of that one. | 04:41 |

| mepholic | lolol | 04:42 |
| mepholic | nah | 04:42 |
| pepperjack | numus: equal to amount of ram is typical recommendation maybe alittle more. you want at least that much to support suspend to disk | 04:42 |
| ZhouYu | m t :P | 04:42 |
| Pelo | mepholic, change to utf-8, in the server menu | 04:42 |
| mepholic | neohaven, utf-8 is pretty cool | 04:42 |
| Pelo | nvm | 04:42 |
| numus | pepperjack i have 3.5 gigs of ram | 04:42 |
| Pelo | numus, 2x RAM, max 2gig, | 04:43 |
| neohaven | redvamp128: no need for software other than mount for a DMG! :3 | 04:43 |
| numus | pelo so i should make it 2 gigs? | 04:43 |
| neohaven | and for the phone, it's gonna be sshfs or something like that | 04:43 |
| neohaven | :3 | 04:43 |
| numus | pelo cause 2x my ram is 7 gigs | 04:43 |
| mikedoty | I have a problem. I followed these instructions (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89197) to change the font color of icons on my desktop... but now icons everywhere (e.g. Thunar file browser) also use white, on the standard white background of an application. | 04:43 |
| limpc | neohaven: i already tried that before | 04:43 |
| Pelo | numus, with 3.5 gig or ram I would go for 1 gig, more then enough, unless you are running very ram intensive progs | 04:43 |
| pepperjack | numus: you dont really need much swap unless you want to have suspend to disk. if you do then maybe 4 gig file | 04:43 |
| limpc | thats what i pasted from dmesg | 04:43 |
| mikedoty | I am confused as to how I can rectify this situation... | 04:43 |
| pepperjack | numus: normally i only use about 256MB | 04:44 |
| numus | pepperjack ubuntu is just a play around os for me.. primary is vista for now.. use to have 7 but untill wmp 12 is stable i wont be using 7 | 04:44 |
| neohaven | limpc: what? the mount line? you tried that and it didn't work? | 04:44 |
| numus | dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024 should be right for 1 gig swap right? | 04:44 |
| limpc | yeah earlier. | 04:44 |
| naiba | can anyone bye me a pc? | 04:44 |
| Pelo | mikedoty, change one colour change them all, basicaly, you might want to change your theme until you get the colour fixed, so you can see what you are doing | 04:44 |

| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| Ivanlul | Videos worked fine in windows btw | 05:22 |
| nsadmin | perhaps an additional news item should be posted announcing that squeeze is now testing? then link to that | 05:23 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, do you have the radeon driver? | 05:23 |
| corigo3 | Is there anyway to add go-oo as a repository so I can get the latest distribution? There's too many rpm files to choose from just using the FTP site | 05:23 |

| Ivanlul | I'm pretty sure | 05:23 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, is compiz on? | 05:23 |
| Ivanlul | yeah, I went to hardware drivers and I have an ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver | 05:24 |

| kookaboorra | anybody help a beginner to compile xchat :/ | 05:24 |
| Ivanlul | but how do I check? | 05:24 |
| binarymutant | kookaboorra, don't compile, sudo apt-get install xchat | 05:24 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, it's in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:24 |
| gbear14275 | nsadmin: runnig 8.10 x64 trying to install the java feb update (http://download.java.net/jdk6/) looking for some help as I'm not exactly sure if I should be running from a prompt | 05:24 |
| nsadmin | kookaboorra why do you want to compile? btw it's pretty easy | 05:24 |
| Ivanlul | I've never used compiz | 05:25 |
| kookaboorra | nsadmin: E: Couldn't find package xchat | 05:25 |
| kookaboorra | what does that mean? | 05:25 |
| binarymutant | kookaboorra, sudo apt-get update | 05:26 |
| nsadmin | kookaboorra your read is as good as mine... | 05:26 |
| Sertse | "QGtkStyle cannot be used together with the GTK_Qt engine." Even though I removed the engine. | 05:26 |
| binarymutant | kookaboorra, then sudo apt-get install xchat | 05:26 |
| rww | kookaboorra: sudo apt-get update first. If that doesn't help, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file. | 05:26 |
| Ivanlul | binarymutant: I went to that file | 05:26 |
| kookaboorra | ok | 05:26 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, what did it say under Device ? | 05:26 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, dont paste/flood though | 05:27 |
| Ivanlul | binarymutant: device or section device? | 05:27 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, the section device should have 'driver '... blah blah blah | 05:28 |
| Ivanlul | binarymutant: Configured Video Device" | 05:28 |
| binarymutant | I though you were looking for the driver | 05:29 |
| Ivanlul | binarymutant: Identifier"Configured Video Device" | 05:29 |
| Ivanlul | Driver"fglrx" | 05:29 |
| binarymutant | are you using Desktop Effects? | 05:29 |
| Ivanlul | none | 05:29 |
| binarymutant | no clue, maybe add more ram | 05:30 |
| Ivanlul | it worked fine on windows :\ | 05:30 |
| binarymutant | I'm sure it did | 05:30 |
| xGeek | lol | 05:30 |
| Ivanlul | I still love ubuntu | 05:30 |
| Ivanlul | I just want my graphics to work better | 05:31 |
| Juergen | #canonical | 05:31 |
| gbear14275 | anyone installed and have working the 64 bit version of java update from february? | 05:31 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, flash-nonfree installed? | 05:31 |
| Ivanlul | think it has something to do with acceleration? | 05:31 |
| Ivanlul | I don't think so | 05:31 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, where'd you get flash? | 05:32 |
| Ivanlul | what do I type on the terminal to install it | 05:32 |
| Ivanlul | like, where'd I buy it? | 05:32 |
| rj_ | rhorse | 05:32 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 05:33 |
| josh__ | where is teh infomration on boot up stored.? all the verbose stuff? | 05:33 |
| binarymutant | josh__, /var/log/messages | 05:33 |
| Ivanlul | yeah it's installed | 05:33 |
| Ivanlul | no upgrades or anything | 05:33 |
| plazia | anyone else have an x-fi card and have the pulseaudio process hijack 100 CPU every so often? it locks up the machine for like 1500 ms then returns to normal function. | 05:34 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, maybe hulu is just acting up | 05:34 |
| rj_ | i have 1 hdd which previosly used on my winxp machine | 05:34 |
| Ivanlul | hmm | 05:34 |
| Ivanlul | maybe | 05:34 |
| Ivanlul | I have another question | 05:34 |
| rj_ | i have 1 hdd which previosly used on my winxp machine. i already put it on my ubuntu machine. but how to repartition and reformat that drive | 05:35 |
| binarymutant | rj_, try gparted | 05:35 |
| gbear14275 | rj_: You will want to boot to a live cd | 05:35 |
| Ivanlul | http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=11896448 | 05:36 |
| Ivanlul | Is this build compatible with ubuntu | 05:36 |
| rj_ | no.... i already install my ubuntu... just need to add another HDD but how to delete the current partition and recreate it and reformat it as well | 05:36 |
| josh__ | I mean the black screen with all that information, where is that stored or logged? | 05:37 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/ | 05:37 |
| Ivanlul | thanks | 05:37 |
| gbear14275 | rj_: then use gparted | 05:37 |
| illumin8 | is it possible to repartiion my drive in ubuntu (currently its the only os on the machine) without creating problems? | 05:37 |
| rj_ | in terminal rite.. let me try | 05:38 |
| illumin8 | repartition | 05:38 |
| letalis | illumin8: well itll depend on how your filesystems are setup | 05:38 |
| PVO | Does anyone know how I can get usb tethering working with a windows mobile phone (WM5) on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid? I don't have ethernet/wifi access right now, so it would be an offline install. And I don't know how to compile... :S | 05:38 |
| binarymutant | josh__, /var/log/dmesg is this what you want? | 05:38 |
| illumin8 | letalis, im attempting to put some other debian based oses on the machine like the new debian 5.0 | 05:38 |
| josh__ | let me check | 05:38 |
| letalis | well if /home is a separate partiton on the machine, there might be hope | 05:39 |
| illumin8 | letalis, all my file system is set up on one drive i believe with Home folder being the majority of memory | 05:39 |
| ronin_ | what program can I use in ubuntu to track all the get/post from a website when I login? I want to automate this process but need to know what is sent | 05:39 |
| illumin8 | letalis, how can i pull up something you can see to judge the setup? | 05:39 |
| binarymutant | ronin_, like an rss reader? | 05:40 |
| Ivanlul | wait a minute | 05:40 |
| josh__ | where's the latest one? is it in a archive | 05:40 |
| letalis | otherwise, if it resides in / on the same filesystem, you may run into some issues with the new installer bloing away all that was on it | 05:40 |
| Ivanlul | ddc on DVI does NOT work in open source driver, you have to edit xorg.conf for correct resolution & refresh rate. Does not recognize size of video memory correctly. Dual head not working for me on HP dc5750. 3D only accelerated in proprietary driver. | 05:40 |
| binarymutant | josh__, dmesg is the latest | 05:40 |
| letalis | type df -h in a console | 05:40 |
| Ivanlul | WHat'd I have to do? | 05:40 |
| letalis | itll tell you what is mounted where | 05:40 |
| josh__ | k thanks | 05:40 |
| Tyrath_ | does it make sense that if I run sudo ifup -a; dmesg | grep wlan0 I get no output? | 05:40 |
| illumin8 | letalis, k | 05:40 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, if it doesnt work, it doesnt work | 05:40 |
| Ivanlul | hmm | 05:41 |
| Ivanlul | k | 05:41 |
| Tyrath_ | basically as you could contemplate from the command I don't get wireless | 05:41 |
| Tyrath_ | wireless simply refuses to work | 05:41 |
| Tyrath_ | and I have no idea why | 05:41 |
| letalis | illumin8: if you do not implicitly see /home as a mount point, you could have issues keeping your personal information in a new install | 05:41 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, what driver? | 05:41 |
| Tyrath_ | I have /etc/init.d/networking restarted about a thousand times | 05:42 |
| Tyrath_ | reconfigured /etc/network/interfaces about a thousand times | 05:42 |
| letalis | and if youre like me and dont use the ext3 filesystem at all that could further complicate things | 05:42 |
| illumin8 | letalis, i see / but / is not home? | 05:42 |
| pepperjack | Ivanlul: ati card? you could /join #radeon and see | 05:42 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: I have no idea | 05:42 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: and I have no idea how to update it either | 05:42 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, whats the hardware? | 05:42 |
| Cpudan80 | illumin8: no, home is /home | 05:42 |
| letalis | nope / is the main filesystem that all others resde in | 05:42 |
| letalis | reside | 05:42 |
| illumin8 | Ah ok | 05:42 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: DLINK DSL-G604T | 05:42 |
| illumin8 | So it will require me to set up multiple partions then reinstall all the oses. | 05:43 |
| kingsley | What's the whiziest, most eye catching and jaw dropping linux application to convert windows users with? Beryl? Open Office? | 05:43 |
| bobbie4 | hi, I like the ubuntu | 05:43 |
| letalis | if home was not implicitly listed in the df command, the /home is in / and that means more than likely that everything on / wil get blown away in a new install | 05:43 |
| jphase | I'm trying to get blu ray workin' on my ubuntu server 64 bit. I keep running into a jre type error "missing library libmawt.so". I can't seem to find out how to install it. | 05:43 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, whats the hardware in the computer? I mean the wireless card | 05:43 |
| ronin_ | I'm trying to automate log in an retrival to a website using wget but i need to know what the website post comman on login contains so i can do that | 05:43 |
| ohzie | kingsley, There is none. | 05:43 |
| binskipy2u | hey everyone, does it really matter what filesystem you use? or is ext3 for home and root the best choice cause thats the default? | 05:43 |
| Tyrath_ | oh, and I've also turned on and off NetworkManager a stack of times to no avail - by using the start/stop commands | 05:43 |
| letalis | your best bet will be to backup the /home folder to another device | 05:43 |
| letalis | then do it. | 05:44 |
| ohzie | kingsley, though I suggest loading everything they use on the regular basis and then throw XFCE in there. | 05:44 |
| illumin8 | letalis, thanks for the great info :) | 05:44 |
| tonylthornton | Can anyone help me with ftp settings for joomla? | 05:44 |
| letalis | sure thing hief | 05:44 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: is there anyway I can find out | 05:44 |
| letalis | chief | 05:44 |
| letalis | :) | 05:44 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: I thought there was some lspci command or somthing | 05:44 |
| pepperjack | binskipy2u: you could use reiser or even xfs etc. ext3 is the standard for now until ext4 gains more momentum | 05:44 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, you could open the computer case | 05:44 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, or lspci yes | 05:44 |
| tonylthornton | Can anyone help me with ftp settings for joomla? | 05:44 |
| binskipy2u | whats the best choice for a 500gig hd? | 05:44 |
| binskipy2u | sata | 05:44 |
| Ivanlul | bin | 05:45 |
| tonylthornton | Brand or what? | 05:45 |
| Ivanlul | I'm using this one for my new build | 05:45 |
| letalis | !reiserfs | 05:45 |
| ubottu | reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html | 05:45 |
| letalis | !xfs | 05:45 |
| ubottu | xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS | 05:45 |
| skate2 | is there any software for gnome that can do what itunes does as far as putting songs onto my ipod and doing it properly? | 05:45 |
| binarymutant | !ext4 | 05:45 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 | 05:45 |
| Ivanlul | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148395 | 05:45 |
| binarymutant | aw | 05:45 |
| kingsley | ohzie: Can you elaborate on why XFCE might impress windows users? | 05:45 |
| tonylthornton | I hate that goddamn ubottu | 05:45 |
| jeeves_Moss | what will cause APCI to stick @ the top of my list on PowerTOP? | 05:45 |
| bazhang | skate2, rhythmbox | 05:45 |
| binskipy2u | i cant stand xfce personally | 05:45 |
| skate2 | Kingsley aside from running way faster? | 05:45 |
| * letalis uses reiserfs and xfs for all filesystems | 05:45 | |
| letalis | :) | 05:45 |
| binskipy2u | ducks | 05:45 |
| madmike | whats the difference between intrepid and intrepid ibex, and does anyone here use fvwm? | 05:45 |
| pen | they are the same | 05:46 |
| jphase | How can I get the libmawt.so java library? | 05:46 |
| pepperjack | kingsley: xubuntu wont impress anyone with the default theme. its kinda ugly and plain but its really easy to make it pretty presentable | 05:46 |
| binskipy2u | so what should / be and what should home be? | 05:46 |
| letalis | intrepid is just the shortened name | 05:46 |
| rj_ | ok its working | 05:46 |
| binskipy2u | the same? | 05:46 |
| tonylthornton | Can anyone help me with ftp settings for joomla? | 05:46 |
| === e_e is now known as innociv | ||
| letalis | ive even seen people just call it ibex too. | 05:46 |
| tonylthornton | And is anyone here running joomla on ubuntu | 05:46 |
| jeeves_Moss | what will cause APCI to stick @ the top of my list on PowerTOP? | 05:46 |
| letalis | either way they refer to ubuntu 8.10 | 05:46 |
| tonylthornton | Any help at all? | 05:46 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: lspci -v | grep ethernet gives me Hewlett-Packard Company Device 30a5 | 05:46 |
| yossarian | 'lo | 05:46 |
| ohzie | kingsley, After using linux and windows off and on, both, for a long time, I'm impressed with XFCE's simplicity. I really cannot stand thunar though. | 05:47 |
| ohzie | Thunar is poop. | 05:47 |
| kingsley | pepperja1k: Can you be more specific about precisely how you'd make it more presentable? | 05:47 |
| pepperjack | tonylthornton: id suggest a /join #joomla as that channel looks pretty active | 05:47 |
| ohzie | But the window manager itself, and most of the tools with it, are very nice. | 05:47 |
| tonylthornton | Thanks pepperjack | 05:47 |
| yossarian | i'm on x64 intrepid and i'm having trouble with adobe flash 10 x64 alpha release. flash videos WORK, but the CPU spikes and it gets really slow in fullscreen | 05:47 |
| ohzie | Much more stable than KDE. KDE doesn't seem to like my graphics card. | 05:47 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: what do you make of that? | 05:47 |
| letalis | ohzie: i remember when i used to just use the blackbox window manager and nothing else. | 05:48 |
| letalis | now, that was simple. | 05:48 |
| letalis | :D | 05:48 |
| pepperjack | kingsley: i usually put both panels together at top or bottom one on each side. change the gtk theme and splash image and background. after that it looks pretty slick especially for the underpowered boxes i use it on | 05:48 |
| ohzie | letalis, I used Fluxbox. :) | 05:48 |
| binskipy2u | yossarian.. isnt flash & java 64bit both final now? | 05:48 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, idk if thats a wifi card or not, I didn't think hp made wifi cards | 05:48 |
| rj_ | how to connect to other and run rsync through the network | 05:48 |
| binskipy2u | i have it on this mint install | 05:48 |
| ohzie | letalis, I see XFCE as the usability of gnome with the ease of fluxbox. :D | 05:48 |
| binskipy2u | both are 64bit and from what ive read, final | 05:48 |
| pepperjack | kingsley: nothing fancy | 05:48 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: do you want me to pastebin dmesg? | 05:49 |
| letalis | i like having my at a glance indicators in gnome | 05:49 |
| yossarian | binskipy2u: dunno, gimme link then :\ from what i've found so far, it's still alpha. | 05:49 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, what about grepping for wireless instead | 05:49 |
| binskipy2u | http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Adobe-Flash-Player-64-bit-on-Ubuntu-8-10-98076.shtml | 05:49 |
| letalis | and the flexibility of making gnome as simplistic or as hardcore advanced as i want it to be | 05:49 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: grepping for wireless doesn't return anything :/ | 05:49 |
| letalis | :) | 05:49 |
| yossarian | yeah, have this version | 05:49 |
| yossarian | I | 05:49 |
| rj_ | how to connect to other and run rsync through the network ..... | 05:49 |
| binarymutant | :/ | 05:49 |
| binskipy2u | so everyone.. what is the best file system for a 500gig sata for ubuntu for / and /home | 05:49 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: should I pastebin my dmesg and give you the link? | 05:49 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, ya pastebin dmesg I guess. But you could always just open the pc up and look for the card | 05:50 |
| binskipy2u | same for each or different for one or the other | 05:50 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: when I grep ethernet it does state that that's the ethernet device | 05:50 |
| rww | binskipy2u: ext3 | 05:50 |
| skate2 | when i run 'ps -U root -u root u' to see all the processes running as root, it shows tons. i thought ubuntu doesnt run processes as root? | 05:50 |
| rj_ | how to connect to other and run rsync through the network ..... can anyone guide me on this | 05:50 |
| pepperjack | binskipy2u: xfs will be the fastest but its more vulnerable i suppose to sudden power loss.. you could use ext4. im not sure about its supported status in ubuntu yet | 05:50 |
| binarymutant | binskipy2u, its personal preference | 05:51 |
| binskipy2u | ok | 05:51 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: http://pastebin.com/f206fe120 | 05:51 |
| node357 | skate2, anything run by sudo belongs to root | 05:51 |
| binskipy2u | just asking, i have both /and /home ext3 | 05:51 |
| yossarian | so any ideas why adobe flash doesn't work too well on x64 intrepid? | 05:51 |
| yossarian | is anyone else using this? | 05:51 |
| rww | pepperjack, binskipy2u: ext4 is not supported in Intrepid (the current version of Ubuntu), but will be supported (but not default) in Jaunty (the next version) | 05:51 |
| binskipy2u | it works GREAT on 64bit opera | 05:51 |
| bastid_raZor | binskipy2u; i have a 1.5TB that is ext3.. works well for me | 05:51 |
| unclemike | for a usb stick...whats the best file system..for linux and windows to read it right now im going to format and do a unetbootin install on it with ubuntu...fat 16 or fat32 | 05:51 |
| plazia | Anyone else have an X-Fi card and have the pulseaudio process hijack 100 % CPU every so often? It locks up the machine for like 1500 ms then returns to normal function. | 05:51 |
| binskipy2u | but works like every other time in firefox for whatever reason i dont know | 05:51 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux | 05:51 |
| yossarian | binskipy2u: can you view youtube clips in fullscreen? | 05:51 |
| letalis | binskipy2u: my thing is this, having a dedicated home partition will make for upgrades to be more bearable because you can tell an installer not to touch it and leave it as it is | 05:51 |
| binskipy2u | yes | 05:52 |
| binskipy2u | some are better then others | 05:52 |
| letalis | though the drawback is that it also limits the amount of space in the /home folder | 05:52 |
| yossarian | any idea why it's going like crap here? :( | 05:52 |
| letalis | since most of your downloaded crap will wind up there, its like forcing a quota on yourself | 05:52 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, that should be working without problems whats up with it? :/ | 05:52 |
| madmike | whats the difference between intrepid and intrepid ibex, and does anyone here use fvwm? | 05:52 |
| rj_ | how to connect to other and run rsync through the network ..... can anyone guide me on this | 05:52 |
| pepperjack | letalis: you can always ln -s other user directories to like /usr/home or something | 05:52 |
| rww | madmike: intrepid is the same as intrepid ibex is the same as 8.10. | 05:53 |
| rj_ | how to connect to other PC and run rsync through the network ..... can anyone guide me on this | 05:53 |
| bazhang | madmike, they are one and the same | 05:53 |
| jaxx2kde | hi i am not able to install the b43 drivers for my broadcom chipset. i installed the b43-fwcutter but it still shows "wl" as the kernel driver in use | 05:53 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: can't get wireless working | 05:53 |
| jaxx2kde | i want to use b43 as the driver instead of wl.. if i blacklist wl in modprobe.d then my card doesn't get detecte | 05:53 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: it happened right after my brother removed the WEP password on the router | 05:53 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, is it turned off in the BIOS? | 05:53 |
| letalis | pepperjack: this is true. but getting ln happy leads to later 'wth happened to this?' syndrome ;) | 05:53 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: how can I check that? | 05:54 |
| letalis | LOL | 05:54 |
| rj_ | how to connect to other PC and run rsync through the network ..... can anyone guide me on this | 05:54 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: I blacklisted ipv6 recently just incase it was that | 05:54 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, pastebin this command `sudo ifconfig` | 05:54 |
| madmike | thanks rww and bazhang | 05:54 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: because before dmesg was telling me it couldn't locate ipv6 | 05:55 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, and `sudo iwconfig` | 05:55 |

| rj_ | how to connect to other PC and run rsync through the network ..... can anyone guide me on this | 05:55 |
| binskipy2u | regardless of looks, and packages, whats the fastest (for the most part) DE, kde 4.2 or gnome 2.24.2 | 05:55 |
| unclemike | whats the difference in 8.10 and dauiy | 05:55 |
| binskipy2u | anyone have "both" | 05:55 |
| binskipy2u | and have an answer for that | 05:55 |
| unclemike | opps 8.10 and daily | 05:55 |
| ohzie | binskipy2u, I'd say gnome. | 05:56 |
| ohzie | KDE gives me serious issues | 05:56 |
| letalis | binskipy2u: id say gnome overall is faster. | 05:56 |
| unclemike | kde 4 is slower then gnome | 05:56 |
| letalis | if you go the kde route at this time id stick with kde 3.5 | 05:56 |
| yossarian | i don't like kde :\ | 05:56 |
| letalis | 4 is nice and pretty but hardly ready for primetime. | 05:57 |
| yossarian | damn why is flash playing so badly here :( | 05:57 |
| binarymutant | because it's proprietary | 05:57 |
| unclemike | whats the difference the ubuntu 8.10 and daily builds | 05:57 |
| binskipy2u | one more question guys.. then ill be done.. lol.. if you have gnome, and install kde, 1. does it slow things down with both DE's? and 2. what do you install kde or kubuntu-desktop in synaptic? | 05:57 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: http://pastebin.com/f311e5dc7 | 05:57 |
| mikem | my Tomboy notes keep changing their window position (in Gnome) every time they're opened. I like them to stay in one place. does anyone know of a setting I could configure to do this? | 05:57 |
| bazhang | binskipy2u, no effect practically; kubuntu-desktop if you have 8.10 | 05:58 |
| letalis | binskipy2u: haivng both will do nothing tot he performance of the other | 05:58 |
| jeeves_Moss | what will cause APCI to stick @ the top of my list on PowerTOP? | 05:58 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: - sorry for the wait. I had to sudo su before it let me pastebin ifconfig -a --- really bizarre | 05:58 |
| letalis | in fact they dont both run at the same time | 05:58 |
| bazhang | binskipy2u, if you have hardy then kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 05:58 |
| binskipy2u | so choose both "kde" and "kubuntu-desktop"? | 05:58 |
| bazhang | binskipy2u, no | 05:58 |
| letalis | as for installing kde, kubuntu-desktop will install kde as if you used a kubuntu install disk | 05:58 |
| binskipy2u | im using intrepid | 05:58 |
| binskipy2u | sorry didnt see "hardy" in your response | 05:58 |
| bazhang | the latter only | 05:58 |
| binskipy2u | thanks guys,... very helpful :) | 05:59 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, give me iwconfig too | 05:59 |

| jeeves_Moss | pepperjack, thanks | 06:02 |
| jeeves_Moss | pepperjack, I figured | 06:02 |
| binarymutant | jeeves_Moss, there are a number of things that affect powertop, something will always be at the top | 06:02 |
| node357 | no idea jeeves_Moss, sorry | 06:02 |
| binarymutant | jeeves_Moss, have you done the suggestions it gives you? | 06:02 |
| jeeves_Moss | binarymutant, it's more like the system chokes on something simple like e-mail and FF | 06:03 |
| binarymutant | jeeves_Moss, I dont think that has anything to do with acpi | 06:03 |

| binarymutant | Tyrath_, do you want the GUI way or the CLI way? | 06:04 |
| binarymutant | jeeves_Moss, I've only used powertop for the suggestions that it gives you, you might be having hardware failure | 06:05 |

| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: I'll give it a shot | 06:07 |
| Ivanlul | can someone link me to that ubuntu paste website | 06:07 |
| binarymutant | jeeves_Moss, if your running on battery thats why acpi would be at the top | 06:07 |

| Ivanlul | can you explain that to me | 06:08 |
| binarymutant | jeeves_Moss, no clue, run the apps that don't want to pull up from a terminal and then pastebin the output I guess | 06:08 |
| Ivanlul | I downloaded it, what do I do now? | 06:08 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, if you did it then do `sudo dhclient` | 06:08 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: what does it do? | 06:09 |
| jeeves_Moss | binarymutant, I think I'll blow it away and start fresh again. it's been a while | 06:09 |

| constantine | Ivanlul: I can't get sound on youtube, I installed the nonflashfree, I uninstalled, reinstalled pulse audio....tried other things that I've forgotten by now | 06:14 |
| bastid_raZor | B1OS; almost all isp's block port 80 if you don't have a commercial subscription | 06:14 |
| rip_ | I'm setting up virtualbox, and trying to set up the mouse, but the guest additions iso isn't downloading, and the version of the guest additions in synaptic fails to install. anybody set this up before | 06:15 |
| binarymutant | thats not true, AT&T doesnt | 06:15 |
| B1OS | it judt tries connect to my router when putting my external IP in a browser | 06:15 |
| atom^x | B1OS, are they forwarded to the machine running apache | 06:15 |
| constantine | Ivanlul: the best answer I got here was "Talk to Adobe" lol.....well that is a problem because I never met Adobe and don't know where he lives | 06:15 |
| B1OS | atom^x: yes | 06:15 |
| binarymutant | B1OS, does apache start without error? | 06:16 |
| B1OS | hold on | 06:16 |
| rip_ | constantine: i just got here, are you just trying to install flash? | 06:17 |

| binarymutant | B10S, and you can't connect to 127.0.0.1 from that machine? | 06:18 |
| B1OS | i can | 06:19 |
| Ivanlul | hmm | 06:19 |
| binarymutant | B10S, what's the problem again? srry | 06:19 |
| pen | hey | 06:19 |
| Ivanlul | http://paste.ubuntu.com/118724/ can someone help me with this? I don't understand the last line, I'm new to linux. | 06:19 |
| rip_ | constantine: i had the same problem with the open source versions. though adobe's is "nonfree", unfortunately it does perform much better than the open source ones (from my experience) one second while i try to remember how to check | 06:19 |
| B1OS | cant connect with my external IP | 06:19 |
| binarymutant | B10S, you won't be able to connect from inside the lan to your external ip | 06:20 |
| B1OS | no possible way? | 06:20 |
| binarymutant | B10S, no possible way from your lan | 06:20 |
| bobbie4 | I really, really like the ubuntu | 06:20 |
| binarymutant | B10S, use internal ip from within the LAN | 06:20 |
| Ivanlul | Can someone explain the last line please? | 06:20 |
| bastid_raZor | Ivanlul; that is telling you what to do. how to compile it | 06:21 |
| rip_ | constantine: in firefox just goto tools>add-ons, then goto the plugins tab, and uninstall the open source ones. visit a youtube video, then install flash from adobe | 06:21 |
| Ivanlul | can you tell me step by step how to compile it? | 06:21 |
| binarymutant | B10S, just make sure to set up port forwarding in your router so that other people can connect to it | 06:21 |
| B1OS | is it normal that it tries to connect to my router (when i try cnnecting to my external IP)? | 06:22 |
| PrymaL | hi, is someone able to assist. I have installed KDE and have KDM running at boot, but it's still defaulting to Gnome when I log in. I would like the default to be KDE with Gnome as a "session type" option. | 06:22 |
| binarymutant | other people meaning outside the lan | 06:22 |
| binarymutant | B10S, what do you mean? | 06:22 |
| B1OS | i'll block WAN users for now | 06:22 |
| B1OS | binarymutant: when i type my external IP in a browser on my network, it askes me for my router login details | 06:23 |
| PrymaL | B10S, that's normal | 06:23 |
| ohzie | How do I upgrade one package with aptitude? | 06:24 |
| Ivanlul | How do I compile something? | 06:24 |
| binarymutant | B10S, it should just say "cannot connect" or whatnot | 06:24 |
| B1OS | i guess it is normal from my local network | 06:24 |
| constantine | rip_: are any of these considered open source, if not, I don't have any add-ons for that yet I'm not getting prompted at youtube: GCJ web browser plugin for java applets, shockwave flash, totem web browser plugin 2.24.3 for video and audio streams | 06:24 |
| binarymutant | B10S, well mine just says cannot connect | 06:24 |

| Jockeo | Will gtk-sharp2 2.12 appear in the Gutsy Gibbon repository? (It is in the Intrepid) | 06:27 |
| bastid_raZor | B10S; using http://localhost/ should connect you to your apache server | 06:28 |
| phasma | Where are the logs to check to see why Ubuntu crashed? | 06:28 |
| rip_ | constantine: could this be the source of the problem, i know if you disallow java, youtube videos fail to load. "shockwave flash" is what adobe calls the plugin | 06:28 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: ah - that was it. so I got a result there, now what? pull out my cord and see what happens? | 06:28 |
| rip_ | constantine: try removing it, if you know where its from and all that, and just see if it works | 06:28 |
| B1OS | bastid_raZor: it does: shows my site in /var/www | 06:28 |
| bastid_raZor | B10S; then apache is working. | 06:28 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, dont pull the cat5 out yet, but then do the `sudo dhclient` and see if you can pull an IP | 06:28 |
| B1OS | i no, but i dont know if its working externally yet | 06:29 |
| binarymutant | B10S, whats your IP i'll check it | 06:29 |
| binarymutant | B10S, you can PM if you want too | 06:29 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: it's 10.1.1.2 | 06:30 |
| binarymutant | B10S, works d00d | 06:30 |
| B1OS | what can you see? | 06:31 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, k, you can pull out the cord now | 06:31 |
| constantine | rip_: I uninstalled shockwave and went to the youtube site....no video was displayed and it said "get the latest version of adobe flash player" so I clicked, got the deb package and now it says: "error: a later version is already installed" | 06:31 |
| binarymutant | B10S, you want a screenshot? | 06:31 |
| Ivanlul | how do I compile something? | 06:31 |
| B1OS | ok | 06:31 |
| rip_ | constantine: when you uninstalled it, did you fully close out and restart firefox? | 06:31 |

| tuxflavrdwafls | what is a .bin file? | 06:34 |
| plazia | file nameoffile.bin | 06:34 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, well you should be able to use nm-applet the network manager thing too, but you can always use those commands if the gui doesnt want to work | 06:34 |

| yossarian | guys. 32bit vs 64bit? :( | 06:37 |
| jp_sf | tuxflavrdwafls: could be an CD iso sometimes they are .bin, on linux though most of the time they are binaries | 06:37 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: I totally don't get why some things work sometimes and not others... | 06:38 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: like sometimes ifup -a is enough to get wireless on | 06:38 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: othertimes i need to sudo networking restart | 06:38 |
| rip_ | constantine: so you uninstalled that gxx plugin, uninstalled flash, reinstalled flash, and still no sound? by default on all setups ive done, installing flash with nothing else sound works as long as its not the open source ones. are you positive your volume is up (not mocking you), and the pcm volume is up? can you hear other audio? | 06:38 |
| Tyrath_ | binarymutant: other times i need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file | 06:38 |

| rdw200169 | Tyrath_, depending on the wireless driver, networking can get really screwy | 06:39 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, I just remember ifconfig and iwconfig because they are in the lower level stack, like ifup is just a script that uses ifconfig | 06:39 |
| rdw200169 | Tyrath_, iwconfig + lousy driver = hell | 06:39 |
| binarymutant | Tyrath_, you have a good driver :P | 06:40 |
| constantine | rip_: audio is just fine,.....except youtube audio.....even other flash sites work - it may be that there is an open source flash player that I installed outside of firefox, but I've installed quite a few packages and am not sure how to check | 06:40 |
| rip_ | constantine: oh thats odd... so audio sources using flash in other places like metacafe work? | 06:40 |

| nickrud | yossarian, no. Talk to the guys in #ubuntu+1 for more info | 06:44 |
| binarymutant | Ivanlul, you should check to see if your hardware is compatible with the driver. Also, if it's integrated you might consider buying an actual video card because it might just be using 2MB of cache, etc | 06:44 |

| ackbahr | Tyrath_: It's /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:55 |
| Tyrath_ | hlm: that's providing you are on that particular boot for grub | 06:55 |
| psufan | hi! | 06:56 |

| Netcowboy | pepperjack, thanks , I'll try it | 07:23 |
| binarymutant | not* | 07:23 |
| hlm | kukuchopra, yes and no, you can but its highly recommended you dont | 07:24 |
| pepperjack | kukuchopra: technically yes but vista will trash your bootloader. youll need to recover it afterwards | 07:24 |
| rip_ | kukuchopra: yes, but its going to ruin your bootloader, just follow the instructions i'm pasting from ubbotu to get it back | 07:24 |
| kukuchopra | how can i recover the bootloader? | 07:24 |

| binarymutant | psufan, no | 07:26 |

| B10S | cp: omitting directory `/var/www/' what does that mean? | 07:26 |
| binarymutant | B10S, you need the -r switch | 07:26 |
| tgb | I have a Linux ext3 partition, non-ubuntu, that I'd like to boot from. It's in an external HD case, connected via USB. Does the LiveCD loader recognize USB drives? Should I be able to pass boot, root, and image parameters to it? | 07:27 |
| binarymutant | B10S, err -R | 07:27 |
| tweak66 | drash it's mounted properly thank you. only other question i have is when i created a blank ext3 partition there's a lost+found dir on it.. can i rm it? | 07:27 |
| maple | exec /screen -d | 07:27 |
| rip_ | constantine: so is mine lol | 07:27 |

| kukuchopra | guys how can i install the driver package it have no .deb? | 07:27 |
| drash | tweak66: not sure you can, those are added to do recovery work i believe | 07:28 |
| tweak66 | drash can it be hidden? or i'm stuck with it lol | 07:28 |
| hlm | need help: I have no splash screen, and everything checks out to be quite fine pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118737/ | 07:28 |
| rip_ | constantine: make a post on ubuntuforums about it, maybe somebody who is currently sleeping will have another idea? | 07:28 |
| B10S | hmm i only wantted the contents of /var/www/ not the www dir itself | 07:29 |
| drash | tweak66: that might be one of those sticky ones :) | 07:29 |
| binarymutant | B10S, cp /var/www/* then | 07:29 |
| B10S | thanks | 07:29 |
| B10S | with -R ? | 07:29 |
| kukuchopra | anyone? | 07:29 |
| tweak66 | drash hehe okay thank you very much, serriously. :) | 07:29 |
| Elda | Hmmm, just was able to get ahold of a web host which allows free ftp access and the like... anyone know of an easy to use/intuitive ftp program? | 07:29 |
| binarymutant | B10S, uh...if there's any directories in /var/www yes, if not no | 07:30 |
| B10S | thanks | 07:30 |
| tgb | OK, alternate third question then: Is it possible to "Boot from second hard disk" from the Ubuntu liveCD boot menu? | 07:30 |
| binarymutant | Elda, how about plain old ftp? | 07:30 |
| Elda | ? | 07:31 |
| xGeek | binarymutant: It's a little late and I'm working on a few different projects. That documentation worked like a charm after I had a smoke. Thanks. :) | 07:31 |
| binarymutant | Elda, `ftp` in the terminal... | 07:31 |

| constantine | rip_: sounds good, thanks for trying lol this is even weirder now that I know you have a similar system | 07:32 |
| binarymutant | xGeek, smoking always helps :P | 07:32 |
| Elda | Yeah.... I like a gui for such things >.< | 07:32 |

| tgb | Alternate 4th question: Is it possible to boot to command console only (no X) from the LiveCD? | 07:33 |
| binarymutant | Elda, well then how about using Nautilus for it? | 07:33 |
| Flannel | tgb: No | 07:33 |
| tgb | Flannel, thanks. | 07:33 |

| binarymutant | B10S, rm -rf | 07:34 |
| binarymutant | B10S, careful with that command though :P | 07:35 |

| owen1 | binarymutant: what do u mean? | 07:38 |
| binarymutant | owen1, you can use any of them to log into xfce | 07:38 |
| binarymutant | owen1, do you have xubuntu? | 07:38 |
| owen1 | binarymutant: yes. | 07:39 |

| tweak66 | drash : now that you mention it i never added it, that's the issue? | 07:39 |
| AkaBkn | hello folks | 07:40 |
| owen1 | binarymutant: ok. i'll google for it. i am trying to compare xfce to lxde (which uses openbox). | 07:40 |
| AkaBkn | can someone help me? | 07:40 |
| Gnea | jkoltner: not by default, but you can install it: camE | 07:40 |

| AkaBkn | my dhclient dosent put the ip from the router in the resolv.conf file... :/ | 07:40 |
| Gnea | !helpme | AkaBkn | 07:40 |
| ubottu | AkaBkn: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 07:40 |
| binarymutant | owen1, login screens should be excluded because you can use any of them to log into the window manager | 07:40 |
| owen1 | binarymutant: gdm is only the login screen, i think. | 07:40 |
| drash | tweak66: might be, you can have it mounted manually if you like, much is possible :) .. but it's quite possible you mounted it read only right now | 07:41 |
| bazhang | owen1, lxde is incredibly light in comparison | 07:41 |
| Gnea | AkaBkn: what does it put there? | 07:41 |
| owen1 | binarymutant: i am talking about window manager. | 07:41 |

| nbeebo | how to change /home ? | 07:41 |
| Gnea | AkaBkn: are you sure that your router is running a dns server? | 07:41 |
| owen1 | binarymutant: gdm is not a window manager. i think. | 07:41 |
| binarymutant | owen1, what's dm mean? | 07:42 |
| drash | owen1 xfwm4 is xubuntu's default window manager i believe | 07:42 |
| binarymutant | owen1, your right, gdm is not a window manager | 07:42 |
| AkaBkn | Gnea: yes, it was just perfect, till now... however, i have setup a bridge an so, later i deinstalled it, but it seems that i missed something | 07:42 |
| owen1 | binarymutant: i want to compare xfce to lxde and the main element i assume, is window manager. | 07:42 |
| owen1 | drash: thanks. do u know which one is lightwight - xfwm4 or openbox? | 07:43 |
| Gnea | AkaBkn: ah, okay. i would suggest that you go through your router's configuration again with a fine-tooth comb and make sure that everything is setup right... most routers also allow you to backup your configuration parameters to a file. I usually do that in the event that I want to try something off-the-wall, like bridging. | 07:44 |

| Deadboys | MAXCONNECTIONS (5020) is higher than FD_SETSIZE (1024) | 07:46 |
| jkoltner | Thanks Gnea | 07:46 |
| Flannel | jkoltner: Backports aren't tested to the degree that the regular packages are tested. But they're not dangerous, just less tested with the rest of the software versions from the older release | 07:46 |
| Deadboys | i changed the FD_SETSIZe | 07:46 |

| binarymutant | RJN, how...to install it? or use it? | 07:49 |
| Gnea | AkaBkn: you should be able to keep it there, and edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to ensure that it does not overwrite your resolv.conf in the event of a lease renew | 07:49 |

| vigo | RJN: I think cp would do it, but I also think that you are asking for a sync, let me look into that. | 07:50 |
| Gnea | AkaBkn: you'll need to write your own script for that, then | 07:50 |
| drash | owen1: that's always going to be subjective .. personally i dislike panels and have removed all of them in xfce (that lightens things up pretty nice as a bonus) ... i guess once you're in lxde you can tweak at will | 07:50 |
| RJN | ok | 07:50 |

| binarymutant | RJN, scp <file> <user>@<ip>:/home/<user>/<folder> | 07:51 |

| skoenman | hey guys have any of you had dealings with vpslink before???? | 08:17 |
| nsp_cli | and wondering when the netinst package will no longer have a conflict | 08:17 |
| binarymutant | RJN, you need to install openssh-server on both computers | 08:17 |
| spirited | hbekel: this is the site http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/65/install.html | 08:17 |
| RJN | the commands pls | 08:17 |

| optraz | binarymutant: NO, i mean how is upgrade possible | 08:20 |
| binarymutant | optraz, nah dist-upgrade will leave local alone | 08:20 |
| optraz | binarymutant: are you sure? | 08:20 |
| FoxBlitzz | kukuchopra: Your message was cut off. Please use this site: http://paste.ubuntu.com | 08:20 |
| binarymutant | optraz, if your scared then backup | 08:21 |
| spirited | omg it says to choose the tools to install. perform the following steps at the Welcome page of the installation wizard, which of course I see none. | 08:21 |
| optraz | binarymutant: it is not scared, it is it failed during upgrade. | 08:21 |
| spirited | that command was supposed to make the installer files executables. | 08:21 |

| binarymutant | constantine, save it then chmod +x it and then ./it | 08:23 |
| hbekel | spirited: you need to run that install script, too | 08:23 |
| optraz | binarymutant, i have my own packages installe in ubuntu, when upgrade from hardy to ibex, it complaint. how do we proceed in such a case? | 08:23 |
| spirited | hbekel: I don't see an install script. Is that what was made, if so would it be in the same dir? | 08:24 |
| binarymutant | optraz, you have your own packages in packages.ubuntu.com ? or you installed some debs that weren't in the repo? | 08:24 |
| constantine | binarymutant: I have no idea what that means lol save it where it won't even let me save it and I don't know what chmod or ./ is | 08:25 |
| optraz | binarymutant: i have build my own package, deb. | 08:25 |
| === Kernel is now known as Wicked | ||
| RJN | ok its done | 08:25 |
| binarymutant | optraz, save the debs somewhere else (backup) and then reinstall them when the installation is complete | 08:25 |

| RJN | the openssh-server | 08:26 |

| rip_ | Trying to set up VirtualBox. Having issues with the mouse. Says I need to install "Guest Additions" which fails to install through VirtualBox, and also fails when installed via Synaptic. anybody have experience with this | 08:26 |
| constantine | binarymutant: yes I am, das ist der meister | 08:26 |
| binarymutant | optraz, that's as efficient as it gets | 08:27 |
| === RJN is now known as LoRdRapTuReZ | ||
| LogicFan | rick_, what kind of problems? guest additions are usually installed through virtualbox while running the guest OS | 08:27 |
| hbekel | spirited: chmod +x sets the executable bit on a file, it doesn't execute it | 08:27 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | binarymutant, its already installed | 08:27 |
| optraz | well, not in my opinion, is there a better way? | 08:27 |
| spirited | hbekel: so chmod made that same file an executable? | 08:27 |
| optraz | spirited: yes | 08:28 |
| binarymutant | constantine, open that link you gave, File->Save as.. then open a terminal and `chmod +x alsa-info.sh` and then `./alsa-info.sh` you have to do this in the folder you saved it to | 08:28 |
| spirited | hah! | 08:28 |
| rip_ | LogicFan: im just in the windows installer, does everybody just do it without the mouse? | 08:28 |
| lolo | hi I'm really at my wits end here - my monitor is not being detected properly by xorg - its a samsung 740bf and only showing a 800x600 | 08:28 |

| bony | what are the ways to add a title to a video? i tried out kino lives but its not working | 08:28 |

| LogicFan | rip_, you should have mouse support | 08:28 |
| Geoffrey2 | hey folks...is there a channel in here for CUPS? | 08:28 |
| LogicFan | guest additions just add extra features | 08:28 |
| rip_ | constantine: you dont have the also drivers installed? I thought they came installed by default (read a part of what was going on earlier, i was afk) | 08:29 |
| lolo | anyone pls? | 08:29 |
| spirited | hbekel: Ok where should I install most of these things like netbeans? In Vista Im used to installing in program files or off of the C: | 08:29 |
| spirited | C:\ drive. | 08:29 |
| binarymutant | lolo | ask | 08:29 |
| constantine | rio_I do I think, this is just a bug reporting script | 08:29 |
| rip_ | LogicFan: no mouse support, says: "note that mouse integration feature requires guest additions to be installed in the guest os" | 08:29 |
| binarymutant | heh forgot the ! | 08:30 |
| rip_ | constantine: ah | 08:30 |
| Geoffrey2 | I have a printer hooked up to a print server, which is itself plugged into a wireless router...I need to find how to make CUPS detect the printer | 08:30 |

| bobbie4 | I like ubuntu and it treats me just fine | 08:30 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | binarymutant, are you ther | 08:30 |
| LogicFan | rip_, it just means seemless integration | 08:30 |
| lolo | I have a problem with a samsung 740bf lcd monitor - only showing 800x600 | 08:30 |
| LogicFan | e.g. moving in and out of the virtual machine without having to capture and release your mouse/keyboard everytime | 08:30 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | lolo..... try to reinstall your display driver | 08:31 |
| rip_ | LogicFan: ooohhh ok. well then i switch my question to "why doesnt my mouse work in virtualbox" :) lol | 08:31 |
| LogicFan | rip_, yeah, thats the problem | 08:31 |
| LogicFan | rip_, how is your mouse plugged in? | 08:31 |
| lolo | Lor | 08:31 |
| binarymutant | optraz, no, if those debs are not in the repo then the best way to dist-upgrade would be to reinstall them afterwards | 08:31 |
| rip_ | LogicFan: usb | 08:31 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | or go to preferences - monitor settings | 08:31 |
| LogicFan | wired? | 08:32 |
| lolo | LoRdRapTuReZ, I am using the openchrome driver | 08:32 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | lolo go to preferences - monitor settings | 08:32 |

| === EzraTest is now known as EzraTest] | ||
| binarymutant | constantine, I dont understand what your saying | 08:33 |
| hbekel | spirited: third party software that doesn't map to the FHS usually goes into /opt. Are you sure there is no netbeans pkg in the repos you can install via apt-get? | 08:34 |
| optraz | binarymutant: if not remove them, else the upgrade wont work | 08:34 |
| === EzraTest] is now known as EzraTest | ||
| constantine | binarymutant: it won't let me save the script | 08:34 |
| optraz | binarymutant: cause that is for personal usage | 08:34 |

| ratbox | Well, I meant a ubuntu server install, though I might use this a web server... | 08:37 |
| rip_ | can* | 08:37 |
| binarymutant | constantine, save it to your desktop | 08:37 |
| arquebus | spirited-netbeans is in the repos, just install it from aptititude | 08:38 |

| arquebus | spirited-repositories, you should install everything from aptitude, just go into system>install packages | 08:39 |

| LogicFan | what kind of multiplayer game? | 08:44 |
| LogicFan | mmorpg? fps? | 08:44 |
| lolo | nightrid3r, openchrome driver - using via chip | 08:45 |
| noogie | logicfan, either one of those actully, thos two are my fav | 08:45 |

| arquebus | noogie- sauerbraten or urban terror | 08:45 |
| LogicFan | well, the most popular mmorpg (WoW) works perfectly with linux using wine | 08:45 |
| binarymutant | noogie, Open Arena | 08:45 |
| noogie | binarymutant: i guess, what game is most like Counterstrike | 08:46 |
| spirited | ha! ok... I think I'm getting it. | 08:46 |
| binarymutant | noogie, urban terror | 08:46 |
| spirited | I will try to tell you if/before my system explodes which I don't think will happen.:) | 08:46 |
| nightrid3r | lolo can you chan it with system -- preferences -- screen resolution | 08:46 |
| Dartel | Is there any reason why Linux will mount one USB Flash drive but not another? One is a very cheap 16 gig verbatim (Works), Other is a 4 Gig Lexar (wont Mount) and it has all my personal stuff on it from when I was using windoze | 08:46 |

| ratbox | ...anyways, thanks so much for the smoothwall suggestion Logic... | 08:48 |
| lolo | nightrid3r, only shows 800x600 and 640x480 | 08:48 |
| nightrid3r | lolo ok let me check something | 08:48 |
| ratbox | night LogicFan | 08:48 |
| binarymutant | noogie, there are some license issues with it so no | 08:48 |
| ratbox | brb | 08:49 |
| noogie | binarymutant: meaning its not free? | 08:49 |
| binarymutant | noogie, it's free as in beer but not free as in speech | 08:49 |
| spirited | arquebus: Ok for example I was using firefox to look for apps I needed, found them and downloaded them and then clicked on them to install... they were .deb files <--- so that is a no no? | 08:49 |
| noogie | binarymutant: hmm...i have yet to understand | 08:50 |
| Schalken | !bluetooth | 08:50 |
| ubottu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 08:50 |
| arquebus | spirited- a few deb file installs are ok, but pretty much anything in linux you will find already in the ubuntu repos that you install with the package manager | 08:50 |
| nightrid3r | lolo https://wiki.ubuntu.com/800x600%20video%20mode check the monitor mode and screen sections | 08:50 |
| K-Rich | arquebus: don't forget checkinstall | 08:50 |
| binarymutant | noogie, its free as in it costs nothing, but it's proprietary | 08:50 |
| arquebus | K-Rich-never heard of it | 08:51 |
| noogie | binarymutant: i c, only their team can work on the source? | 08:51 |
| spirited | So what is the differance between add/remove and Synaptic Package Manager? | 08:51 |
| binarymutant | noogie, right | 08:51 |
| ratbox | back | 08:51 |
| arquebus | spirited- add/remove just has some commonly used apps for easy install, there is no difference really | 08:51 |
| spirited | It seems like two things that do the same things. | 08:51 |
| spirited | Oh ic. | 08:52 |
| K-Rich | arquebus: it makes debs from sources 'sudo make && sudo make checkinstall' creates a deb to install rather than a 'sudo make install' | 08:52 |
| noogie | synaptics requires root pass? | 08:52 |
| spirited | Well I have to admit so far I really like Ubuntu. | 08:52 |
| binarymutant | noogie, ya | 08:52 |
| arquebus | K-Rich-ok, thx, didnt know that | 08:52 |
| ratbox | had to get some heat it's 48^F in here... | 08:52 |
| ratbox | damnit, need to check on smoothwall, brb | 08:53 |
| spirited | So I could find and install Wine in the same way using Synaptic Package Manager? | 08:53 |
| Dartel | Is there any reason why Linux will mount one USB Flash drive but not another? One is a very cheap 16 gig verbatim (Works), Other is a 4 Gig Lexar (wont Mount) and it has all my personal stuff on it from when I was using windoze | 08:53 |
| arquebus | spirited: yes | 08:53 |
| Flannel | spirited: Yep | 08:53 |
| spirited | ha! | 08:53 |
| Flannel | !wine | spirited | 08:53 |
| ubottu | spirited: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help | 08:53 |
| binarymutant | Dartel, probably a filesystem problem | 08:53 |
| K-Rich | arquebus: http://www.asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ makes it easyer to install packages not in repos | 08:53 |
| Flannel | spirited: That wiki page will run you through some steps you have to do to use wine after you install it | 08:53 |
| ikonia | Dartel: it's called "windows" | 08:53 |
| CC40 | Ciao | 08:54 |
| ikonia | Dartel: sometimes drive won't mount if the disk label contains special chars, what is the disk label on it ? | 08:54 |
| Flannel | !checkinstall | K-Rich, arquebus | 08:54 |
| Dartel | Any suggestions on a fix? | 08:54 |
| ubottu | K-Rich, arquebus: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 08:54 |
| arquebus | K-Rich: thanks, that could come in handly, I like to install a lot of obscure stuff | 08:54 |
| binarymutant | Dartel, reformat it to use ext3 | 08:54 |
| K-Rich | arquebus: same here | 08:54 |
| Dartel | I forget, and it just shows USB Drive, But I concidered this tried to rename it and got error not supported by backend or something | 08:55 |
| Dartel | I have my Life history in resume's on it I cant format | 08:55 |
| binarymutant | Dartel, it probably uses ntfs, back it up on a different computer and then reformat it, etc | 08:56 |
| ikonia | Dartel: what file system is on it ? | 08:56 |
| ikonia | Dartel: have you tried to manually mount it ? | 08:56 |
| Dartel | Will try, soon as I can get access to another system TY | 08:56 |
| chronographer | anyone have an ipod classic? if so how do you manage it from Ubuntu? | 08:56 |
| Dartel | I do not know how | 08:56 |
| ikonia | Dartel: you dont need access to another system yet | 08:56 |
| ikonia | Dartel: ok - no problem, lets see if we can find it | 08:56 |
| ikonia | Dartel: remove your usb device from your system | 08:57 |
| ikonia | Dartel: open an applicaton terminal window from the "applications -> accessories" menu | 08:57 |
| ikonia | Dartel: say when ready | 08:57 |
| noogie | how do i setup a free mailserver for my domain? | 08:57 |
| ikonia | noogie: are you on a home broadband connection ? | 08:57 |
| noogie | yea | 08:57 |
| ikonia | noogie: then I advise not to do it, and to use your mail server's isp | 08:57 |
| spirited | So what keeps you guys from pulling your hair out when noobs like me come in asking so many redundent questions?:) | 08:57 |
| binarymutant | spirited, drugs | 08:58 |
| binarymutant | :P | 08:58 |
| spirited | roflmao | 08:58 |
| ikonia | spirited: I try to think about not calling them "noobs" and showing them a little more patience than mocking them | 08:58 |
| noogie | Ikonia: but i want my email to be myname@domainname.com | 08:58 |
| ikonia | spirited: everyone has to learn | 08:58 |
| ikonia | noogie: then you don't need to host it yourself | 08:58 |
| niyado | hello need help, how can i install a wireless driver in ubuntustudio? i cant get wireless this is very frustrating... | 08:58 |
| ikonia | noogie: most networks will blacklist any home DSL connections running mail servers as potential spam host, so your mail will rarley get out | 08:59 |
| ratbox | Smoothwall is installing on a Micron 1GHz | 08:59 |
| binarymutant | niyado, what's the hardware? | 08:59 |
| spirited | Well I remember a time when a friend tried to install Linux Redhat and he got on the irc channel and asked for help and everyone said "RTFM" | 08:59 |
| ikonia | ratbox: why are you telling us ? this is ubuntu support | 08:59 |
| binarymutant | spirited, thats the difference between Ubuntu and every other distro out there | 08:59 |
| noogie | ikonia: oh...how do get my domain name in my email ? | 08:59 |
| spirited | I'm glad to see this is not like that. | 08:59 |
| binarymutant | me 2 | 08:59 |
| ikonia | noogie: you need your ISP to host your mail for you, and forrward to a mail account of your choice (best solution) | 09:00 |
| ratbox | sorry just excited that's all, I needed a suggestion for a caching server so badly... | 09:00 |
| nightrid3r | noogie postfix with smarthost for outgoing mail, but your home broadband provider might be blocking incoming smtp(port 25) | 09:00 |
| noogie | nightrider: i asked my isp, they dont block any ports | 09:00 |
| wildbat | do you know how to fix lid button on my liptop? my laptop's lid button won't work until i suspend or powersaving timer turn off the screen once.....Compaq nc6320 | 09:01 |
| noogie | nightrider: i am hosting my own apache webserver right now on my comp | 09:01 |
| ikonia | noogie: I strongly advise you to just get your ISP/domain register to set a catch all email address to forward to your current working email address | 09:01 |
| ikonia | noogie: it will make life a lot lot easier for you | 09:01 |
| Dartel_ | Sorry syste locks up alot | 09:02 |
| noogie | ikonia: i looked by dyndns.com, which registared my domain name, doesnt setup up email hosting as far as i can tell | 09:02 |
| noogie | ikonia: i think i said that wrong | 09:02 |
| spirited | Excellent! I got my Netbeans back! | 09:02 |
| Dartel_ | I have Net Cornbread lets have dinner | 09:02 |
| K-Rich | lol | 09:03 |
| noogie | Ikonia: i registered my domain with dyndns.com, but i dont think they have an services for email | 09:03 |
| ikonia | noogie: dyndns.com, | 09:03 |
| noogie | ikonia: yea | 09:03 |
| ikonia | noogie: the title of the website is "dns web and mail hosting" | 09:03 |
| ikonia | http://www.dyndns.com/services/mailhop/forward.html | 09:03 |
| Dartel_ | Now someone was trying to assist me befor my computer passed out? | 09:03 |
| spirited | haha | 09:03 |
| noogie | ikonia: i cant seem to figure it out then | 09:04 |
| noogie | Ikonia: i know they do some stuff with email, but it doesnt look like what i want | 09:04 |
| ikonia | noogie: then you've got no chance of running your own mail server if you can't work that out | 09:04 |
| noogie | ikonia: doh! i better look harder | 09:04 |
| ikonia | noogie: look at "mailhop forward" | 09:04 |
| noogie | ikonia: ty | 09:04 |
| ikonia | noogie: forward email addresses to a email address of your choice | 09:04 |
| ikonia | noogie: seems pretty clear to me | 09:05 |
| ikonia | noogie: that's a direct quote from the website | 09:05 |
| noogie | ikonia: but how do i send email with that address | 09:05 |
| ikonia | noogie: http://www.dyndns.com/services/mailhop/forward.html | 09:05 |
| kraut | moin | 09:05 |
| ikonia | noogie: same way you are currently sending email, just put your "from" and "reply" to address in your mail client | 09:05 |

| anarchman1 | I am getting an unmountable boot volume error when trying to boot Windows. I have Win XP installed first, installed Ubuntu using live cd, had it partition for me. Have not been able to boot into Windows since then without BSOD and unmountable boot volume error. Ubuntu boots fine | 09:35 |
| spirited | Looking at/for good 3d shooters and MMOs for Linux/Ubuntu using google. | 09:35 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: take it to ##windows | 09:35 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: not a linux problem | 09:35 |
| binarymutant | spirited, openarena | 09:35 |
| Dartel_ | Great.. was afraid it would need to be on the same physical drive as Linux | 09:35 |
| anarchman1 | ikonia: technically it is a problem with the Ubuntu partition manager or grub | 09:35 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: no it's not | 09:36 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: it's a problem with windows | 09:36 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: a well known one | 09:36 |
| tweak66 | windows itself is a well known problem | 09:36 |
| Dartel_ | LOL | 09:36 |
| anarchman1 | ikonia: you are quite rude | 09:36 |
| anarchman1 | ikonia: if you don't want to help that is fine | 09:36 |
| smokerings | welcome to irc | 09:36 |
| anarchman1 | ikonia: but please don't push your ideology on me | 09:37 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: I'm not being rude, I'm explaining the problem | 09:37 |
| * Dartel_ sighs | 09:37 | |
| ikonia | anarchman1: it's a known issue with windows, if it's not chkdisked/defragged well before installing, it's very common | 09:37 |
| tweak66 | true | 09:37 |
| anarchman1 | ikonia: it was a brand new windows install on a brand new machine | 09:37 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: so ? | 09:38 |
| anarchman1 | ikonia: so you don't have fragmentation on a disk that hasn't been used very much | 09:38 |
| noogie | does ubuntu come with KDE or GNOME? | 09:38 |
| jpds | noogie: GNOME. | 09:38 |
| noogie | k | 09:38 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: I didn't say you had fragmentation, I said it's a known problem if the disk is not chkdisked and / or defragged before install | 09:38 |
| noogie | jpds: why are their KDE packages in the add/remove applications? | 09:39 |
| tweak66 | because they work | 09:39 |
| jpds | !kubuntu | noogie | 09:39 |
| ubottu | noogie: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 09:39 |
| anarchman1 | ikonia: It was chkdsk'd the day before I installed and it didn't have fragmentation because it was a brand new install, perhaps you are referring to a different problem, but your suggestions don't apply to this problem, or are quite weird if they do | 09:39 |
| fosco_ | noogie: cause you can install kde if you want | 09:39 |
| cih997 | hi, i use firestarter as firewall. It's strange: when I turn on firewall there's no active connection and activity is 0kbps, but when i turn it off active connection is still nothing but activity is more than my internet connection (i got 60KBps but activity is 180KBps). How can I check what is that making this activity ? | 09:39 |
| tweak66 | i do not have kde installed, am using gnome, and some apps do work | 09:39 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: it's a known issue - either way, "windows starts to boot and BSOD" = windows problem, please join ##windows | 09:39 |
| noogie | all: but the KDE packages wont work if you have the GNOME desktop running? | 09:39 |
| rip_ | noogie: they will work just fine in gnome granted you have the needed kde files installed too. linux is linux | 09:39 |
| noogie | rip: oh, ok | 09:40 |
| rip_ | noogie: however its best practice to stick with programs intended for gnome, but ones for kde are not off limits by any means | 09:40 |
| Fruzen | help me please | 09:40 |
| * rip_ helps Fruzen | 09:40 | |
| anarchman1 | ikonia: wow, you are counter-productive. I was here with a kernel developer the other night who said nothing about it being a Windows problem. By your logic, if I install Windows after installing Ubuntu and then can no longer boot Ubuntu then that is an Ubuntu problem. | 09:40 |
| kukuchopra | anyone has cedega? | 09:41 |
| Dartel_ | beat me to it rip | 09:41 |
| tweak66 | lmao @rip_ | 09:41 |
| Fruzen | when I type ./configure .. it tells me | 09:41 |
| rip_ | lol | 09:41 |
| Fruzen | NO GCC | 09:41 |
| Fruzen | NO CC | 09:41 |
| kukuchopra | can i install direcx on 8.10? | 09:41 |
| tweak66 | heh | 09:41 |
| zaggynl | heh++; | 09:41 |
| tweak66 | where to begin | 09:41 |
| zaggynl | wine | 09:41 |
| zaggynl | nothing else, don't install directx | 09:41 |
| Jahman | do you know a gnome translator applet? | 09:41 |
| kukuchopra | error when i do wid wine | 09:41 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: nope | 09:42 |
| zaggynl | what does it say | 09:42 |
| Fruzen | Jahman no ;/ | 09:42 |
| kukuchopra | something with indows folder | 09:42 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: if you install windows and you can't boot linux any more, that needs grub re-installing, which we'll help you through | 09:42 |
| Fruzen | I am new at Linux | 09:42 |
| kukuchopra | windows* | 09:42 |
| zaggynl | kukuchopra: could you be more specific | 09:42 |
| Fruzen | VPS | 09:42 |
| tweak66 | !grub | 09:42 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 09:42 |
| rip_ | Fruzen: welcome to ubuntu then :) | 09:42 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: why would a kernel developer be up on issue with windows ? | 09:42 |
| anarchman1 | ikonia: I'm sorry that you don't see the fallacy in your logic. It saddens me that there are people like you who immediately dismiss anything that involves windows | 09:43 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: I'm not dissmissing anything | 09:43 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: the boot loaders loads windows - it' BSOD's look / debug the BOSD to find out why | 09:43 |
| * tweak66 pats ikonia on the back | 09:43 | |
| tweak66 | you guys need a moral support team lmao | 09:43 |
| rip_ | lol | 09:44 |
| zaggynl | lies I say! ubuntu is perfectly capable to cause BSODs! | 09:44 |
| zaggynl | *of causing | 09:44 |
| Dartel_ | anarchman1: Please dont try to live up to your nick here you asked for help and got "A" suggestion if it is not to your likeing berrating the helper is not the answer | 09:44 |
| anarchman1 | ikonia: You know you are right, and I'm glad you are being patted on the back, I don't know why I was foolish enough to try to run Ubuntu. I will just go back to Windows | 09:44 |
| ikonia | anarchman1: ok | 09:44 |
| anarchman1 | Dartel_: I was not berating, I was being berated | 09:44 |
| rip_ | zaggynl: windows only bsods because its jealous of what is on the other partition | 09:44 |
| ikonia | rip_: please don't make issues like that - it's nonsense | 09:44 |
| Fruzen | guys please help me.. | 09:44 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: what's up ? | 09:45 |
| Fruzen | ikonia what I have to do? | 09:45 |
| anarchman1 | if you want to attack me just for trying to use Windows that is fine, all I wanted to do was ask a question, and I am being teamed up on by group think, that will never do well to try to convert people to Ubuntu | 09:45 |
| anarchman1 | good day | 09:45 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: for what | 09:45 |
| kukuchopra | linux is better than windows than performance | 09:45 |
| kukuchopra | and appearence | 09:45 |
| Chousuke | kukuchopra: this channel isn't for comparisons :/ | 09:46 |
| * Dartel_ prays for patience with the frusterated and foolish | 09:46 | |
| Chousuke | support only. | 09:46 |
| Fruzen | ikonia, when I tyoe ./configure theres an error and they tell me "NO GCC, NO CC, NO CL" | 09:46 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: what are you trying to build ? | 09:46 |
| Fruzen | IRCd bahamut | 09:46 |
| Chousuke | Fruzen: aptitude install build-essential ? | 09:46 |
| rip_ | except its 3:45 am, sometimes we get off track :-P | 09:47 |
| tweak66 | 4:47 here | 09:47 |
| Fruzen | Chousuke, I dont know what I have to do.. | 09:47 |
| Gnea | Dartel_: we get people like that once in awhile. they're sad and very rare, thankfully. | 09:47 |
| Fruzen | I am new | 09:47 |
| rip_ | is there a generic ubuntu chat channel, that isnt for support? | 09:47 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: there are many ircd daemons in he repos | 09:47 |
| ikonia | rip_: #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:47 |
| * Dartel_ hands Rip a Coffee (__)D | 09:47 | |
| tweak66 | ubuntu-offtopic | 09:47 |
| Dartel_ | I noticed Gnea | 09:47 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: if you open the package manager and search for "ircd" you'll find many IRC daemons waiting | 09:48 |
| tweak66 | ikonia : synaptic? | 09:48 |
| ikonia | tweak66: if that's your package manager, yes | 09:48 |
| Dartel_ | I can not wait to get a quad core system and see how Linux does on it | 09:48 |
| ikonia | Dartel_: same a a single or dual core | 09:48 |
| Chousuke | Fruzen: why not install it from the repos? | 09:49 |
| Gnea | Dartel_: but, you can't help everyone. you can try, and that's about as good as it gets. for every 1 person that feels like they've been backstabbed, there's another 1000+ that has the patience to push on. | 09:49 |
| Dartel_ | Oh it does not utilize all cores? | 09:49 |
| ikonia | Dartel_: yes it does | 09:49 |
| Gnea | Dartel_: that would be pretty sweet | 09:49 |
| Fruzen | rip_, so what I have to do ? | 09:49 |
| rip_ | Fruzen: i'm still reading up, trying to figure out what you need, i missed that line | 09:50 |
| Dartel_ | Gnea: Some people are to frusterated to listen by time they come for help | 09:50 |
| rip_ | Fruzen: oh you're just trying to install some programs? brand new to linux as of within the last day or two i assume? | 09:50 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: open the package manager, search for "ircd" and install one of the IRC daemons from the repos | 09:50 |
| Dartel_ | Ok.. Cause I wanted to run some @home stuff and heard Linux uses more resources for it | 09:50 |
| Gnea | Dartel_: yeah, and not everyone appreciates having selected absolute facts shoved in their faces | 09:50 |
| Myrtti | Fruzen: type "aptitude search ircd" | 09:51 |
| * Gnea seems to recall @home as an ISP | 09:51 | |
| Fruzen | gusy I may install a lot of things in the future.. | 09:51 |
| Fruzen | it tells me that there no C Compiler | 09:51 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: you do'nt need one | 09:51 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: use the package from the ubuntu package manager | 09:51 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: they are built for you | 09:52 |
| Myrtti | Fruzen: but why do you need c compiler if you have ubuntu and you can install ircd from the package manager? | 09:52 |
| rip_ | Fruzen: starting from the beginning, are you familiar at all with synaptic or the add/remove button in applications? | 09:52 |
| Dartel_ | Gnea: It has always amazed me that those with out the answers are quick to say anothers answer is wrong. | 09:52 |
| Fruzen | ikonia, but I need built essential... | 09:52 |
| Gnea | Fruzen: there's a reason that many irc daemons are already packaged for ubuntu. | 09:52 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: no | 09:52 |
| Myrtti | Fruzen: type in "aptitude search ircd" | 09:52 |
| rip_ | guys i dont think Fruzen realizes the power of ubuntu repositories, i'm getting the feeling he's used to having to compile source | 09:52 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: open the package manager - search for the phrase "ircd" you'll see a list of IRC daemons software, install one | 09:52 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: they are built for you so you don't have to | 09:52 |
| Myrtti | rip_: hold on, we have something else in mind ;-) | 09:53 |
| ikonia | rip_: he can't be used to compiling from source he's new to linux | 09:53 |
| Gnea | Fruzen: why do you need to compile your ircd? | 09:53 |
| Fruzen | ikonia, I have VPS - Ubunto 6.10 | 09:53 |
| Dartel_ | I am using Xchat is there better? | 09:53 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: there are pre-built IRC daemons in the ubuntu software repositories | 09:53 |
| rip_ | ikonia: ah, touche hehe | 09:53 |
| tweak66 | yes there are | 09:53 |
| tweak66 | lots of them | 09:53 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: search for them in the package manager | 09:53 |
| tweak66 | it's so easy | 09:53 |
| Gnea | Fruzen: 6.10 is a bit old, you should consider upgrading to 8.04 | 09:53 |
| tweak66 | 8.1 even | 09:54 |
| Dartel_ | Even I could do it and I am almost as smart as a Geico Caveman | 09:54 |
| tweak66 | beats me dartel | 09:54 |
| Gnea | Dartel_: I'm an irssi+screen person | 09:54 |
| Myrtti | Fruzen: check for me, please, what do you get if you type in "lsb_release -r" | 09:54 |
| Gnea | some people like the GUI of an irc client - i could never get the hang of it, but whatever floats your boat | 09:55 |
| Dartel_ | Gnea that makes you true Admin material for sure :-) | 09:55 |
| * Dartel_ ducks | 09:55 | |
| Gnea | Dartel_: what do you mean? | 09:55 |
| Dartel_ | running shell for IRC | 09:56 |
| Gnea | been doing it for years | 09:57 |
| binarymutant | lol irssi is easy | 09:58 |
| Dartel_ | Your run split screen? | 09:58 |
| parveenks | ttt | 09:58 |
| Mattias | Anyone has any idea on how to search and replace for a string in several files in a dir and its subdirs? | 09:58 |
| binarymutant | try sic from suckless | 09:58 |
| Gnea | of course :) | 09:58 |
| Mattias | some bash command perhaps? | 09:58 |
| binarymutant | suckless.org* | 09:58 |
| Gnea | Mattias: perl -pi -e 's/onething/anotherthing/g' ./* | 09:58 |
| Dartel_ | I am lazy give me a default IRC program like Mirc Xchat and I am happy LOL | 09:58 |
| tweak66 | i hate xchat lol | 09:58 |
| Myrtti | can we keep offtopic somewhere else, please | 09:59 |
| Mattias | Gnea, thanks | 09:59 |
| tweak66 | sorry myrtti | 09:59 |
| tweak66 | i will go now | 09:59 |
| * Dartel_ goes back to his corner and watches the room | 09:59 | |
| Gnea | Mattias: not sure that that'll traverse... might need to: find . -type f -exec perl -pi -e 's/onething/anotherthing/g' {} \; | 09:59 |
| Myrtti | Fruzen: did you get that lsb_release -r already? | 10:00 |
| Mattias | Gnea, it's on a web hosting server thats running linux, going through via ssh | 10:00 |
| Mattias | checking if they allow perl first though | 10:00 |
| Mattias | or if there is perl installed | 10:00 |
| Gnea | Mattias: then you should check it on your end, first | 10:01 |
| hbekel | Mattias: note that "onething" is a regexp in Gnea's command | 10:01 |
| Gnea | most modern distributions have perl | 10:01 |
| Gnea | Mattias: are you familiar with how regexps work? | 10:02 |
| Mattias | Gnea, yeah, learned some when I tried Ruby out a long time ago ^.^ | 10:02 |
| Gnea | Mattias: good :) | 10:02 |
| hbekel | Mattias: omit the -i switch (inplace edit) for testing. you can also use -ibak to have the original files renamed to orig.bak for safety | 10:03 |

| ikonia | Fruzen: stop | 10:21 |
| cpk1 | ziroday: yes, I know -9 cannot be blocked, thats why in my question I asked if -9 wont do it | 10:21 |
| ikonia | Fruzen: listen very carefully | 10:21 |

| tomkirby | and still keeps happening after a fresh install of intrepid | 11:04 |

| tomkirby | nope | 11:04 |
| tomkirby | yes | 11:04 |
| tomkirby | memtest was fine | 11:04 |
| ikonia | tomkirby: have you considered running memtest from the boot options | 11:04 |
| ikonia | tomkirby: how long did you run it for ? | 11:04 |
| tomkirby | ikonia: until it got through all the tests and reported success | 11:05 |
| ikonia | tomkirby: roughly how long was that ? | 11:05 |
| Myrtti | tomkirby: usual procedure is to run memtest several passes | 11:05 |
| tomkirby | about an hour | 11:05 |
| tomkirby | maybe just over | 11:05 |
| ikonia | tomkirby: not enough | 11:05 |

| chronographer | january: it is possible to get pulseaudio working... I needed to add my user to pulseaudio group toget all other packages working... Ubuntu has issues with pulseaudio apparently but once working it is great. | 11:08 |

| JackWinter | am normally still on 8.04, booted 8.10 and in the process of updating it. was wondering if there is a 2.6.28 kernel for 8.10 ? | 11:40 |
| JackWinter | metasepp: what is it, pci/usb/fw ? | 11:40 |
| chronographer | i use ssh as a sftp file server. Is this particularly unsafe? | 11:40 |
| lied | chronographer: only if you have a weak sshkey | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | lied: on the filezilla site the only server is windows based, and the official repos only have the client | 11:41 |
| chronographer | it is letters and numbers, not very long though | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | lied: so meep, wrong back at you | 11:41 |
| lied | ActionParsnip: ah ok, that maybe. i thougt in the new linux versions there is also a ftp server implemented | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | chronographer: its very safe :) | 11:41 |
| metasepp | JackWinter: its USB. Someone over at the Ardour List claims that it works on his box in Ubuntustudio on 8.10. Doesn't show up on my box though. | 11:41 |
| chronographer | great! it is quite easy to set ssh up. I had great trouble with ftp. think I had a port closed which it needed... | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | chronographer: uses the same encryption as ssh to transfer the data | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | chronographer: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 11:42 |
| chronographer | yeah thats how I understood it. | 11:42 |
| daliang | there are very much hits shows in firestart,is that's ok? | 11:42 |
| chronographer | yep I have done that! | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | chronographer: if you want access over WAN you will need to use port forwarding/virtual server | 11:43 |
| bullgard4 | Why are there two directories /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon and ../gnome-settings-daemon-2.0? | 11:43 |
| lied | ActionParsnip: i installed libcap2 libcap2-dev libpcap-de libcap and nothing changed the error message in /var/log/messages. so is there any other way. i already searched on google but didnt't find a solution which was working for me. maybe i have to compile vsftpd by source | 11:43 |
| chronographer | forgot my bloody truecrypt password!!! lucky it was basically empty. | 11:43 |
| CaptainAwesome | heyguys,sorry to interupt but does anyone use emsene here? is there a way to save the chat logs? | 11:44 |

| JackWinter | metasepp: or try #alsa | 11:44 |
| lied | ActionParsnip: hm i think the erroe appears cause the vsftpd is 32bit and i have a 64bit system | 11:45 |

| ActionParsnip | lied: you are gonna have to dig around in logs as you do stuff to see what is causing the issue | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | lied: i'm not conversant with vsftpd so I'm not much good | 11:46 |

| Tonik|away | Hi, any ideas why scripts with expressions like "if [[ .$1 != . ]] ; then" stopped working after upgrade to 8.10? It seems changing double brackets to single fixes my scripts, but was there a reason I used [[ in the first place? (I don't remember :/) | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Jazzinghen: try reinstalling grub | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | Jazzinghen | 11:51 |

| B1OS | how do you move a folder/file if the directory path contains spaces? | 11:52 |
| prince_jammys | Tonik|away: because ubuntu's /bin/sh is now a symlink to dash. scripts with [[ ]] should have #!/bin/bash in the shebang, and not be run as 'sh script' | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | B1OS: tab complete it, they will be managed for you | 11:52 |
| SlimeyPete | B1OS: use quotes around the directory name eg "My Directory/" | 11:52 |
| SlimeyPete | or, yes, tab-complete | 11:53 |
| B1OS | thanks | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | B1OS: if tab completing doesnt work its something like: cp this\ file\ name\ contains\ space.txt | 11:53 |
| prince_jammys | Tonik|away: that happened sometime around feisty or edgy | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | B1OS: tab completing is WAYYY easier | 11:53 |
| Jazzinghen | Ok, I'll try it | 11:53 |
| Tonik|away | Pricey: I see. Do you think it's ok to use [ instead of [[ if it works? I don't even know how to google help on these expressions :) | 11:53 |
| coz_ | hey guys I had this once on intrepid and have searched all day... disable recent documents? | 11:54 |
| prince_jammys | Tonik|away: go to #bash, and read the FAQ in the topic about tests. [[ has more features | 11:54 |
| prince_jammys | Tonik|away: or go to that channel and type /msg greybot [[ | 11:54 |

| === guillaume_ is now known as freko28 | ||
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: its n investigation. If you rename the folder and reboot, next time you log on a stock one will be generated, you will then see system differences which you can then attribte to the change. As you only renamed the folder you can easily revert back | 12:01 |
| nsadmin | what error? | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: how does tat not answer your question | 12:01 |

| lied | nsadmin: warning: `vsftpd' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use) and after that the network freezes and no connection is possible anymore | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | piasdom: what folder are you mounting to, it will start /. Like if you are mounting it to a folder named 'data' in the /media directory, its path will be /media/data | 12:03 |

| ActionParsnip | piasdom: ok thats cool | 12:05 |
| lied | nsadmin: jep | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | piasdom: ok can you run mount with no parameters and pastebin the output please | 12:05 |
| nsadmin | so maybe you could see if it's possible to make the logging more verbose, either by configuring it that way or rebuilding it that way | 12:05 |
| nsadmin | while you're doing that you could try other ftp daemons | 12:06 |

| yiyezhou | ActionParsnip:i install it by USB. | 12:53 |
| Slart | *too | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | yiyezhou: doesnt matter, did you check the iso before burning as well as checking the burned cd was correct? | 12:54 |
| Ferran | ActionParsnip: i did it; in fact i deleted the user with userdel, moved the home user dir; recreated the user with adduser and i still see the same gnome-panel configuration... maybe it's an inode (not file) problem; trying to reboot to fix it | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Ferran: you will need to grant the new user acces and ownership | 12:54 |
| snowhite | bye...I cannot get the right information here now for the moment thanks | 12:55 |

| Ferran | ActionParsnip: yes, i did it | 12:55 |

| yiyezhou | ActionParsnip:no,i have not burning CD,I use USB to install it. | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Ferran: thats cool, yeah i'd reboot too | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | yiyezhou: ok i gotcha, did you md5 check the iso? | 12:55 |

| yiyezhou | The startup is right at first. | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | yiyezhou: you could have been givien it by the head of canonical, you still need to check the iso you downloaded | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | yiyezhou: downloads are not 100% garunteed to be accurate all the time and you need to check the iso, especially with something as critical as an operatings system | 12:58 |

| ubuntu_ | umm ok | 13:21 |
| orly_owl | it takes a while for the login screen to appear | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_: reinstalling grub wont bring it back as there will be no OS to boot to as you have overwritten and formatted the data away, the unoverwritten data may be retrievable but if its written over with a new file its gone. I would restore your data from backup after reinstalling linux | 13:22 |
| ubuntu_ | well | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | orly_owl: depends what apps are running at the time | 13:22 |
| bn43 | ActionParsnip: do you know how I can find the correct setting? | 13:22 |
| ubuntu_ | i guess it's to the apt cd i made... least i did that much ;( | 13:22 |

| myx0x3 | im thinking of putting up an proxy server at my linux computer... is 8mbit down and 1mbit up to slow for me for just surf, chatt and stuff? | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | myx0x3: should be fine for that | 13:30 |
| myx0x3 | ActionParsnip: and gaming? :P | 13:30 |
| myx0x3 | ActionParsnip: to slow right? | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | myx0x3: depends what games | 13:31 |
| jafar00 | myx0x3: too slow? I just make do with 2mbit down 1mbit up ;) | 13:32 |
| myx0x3 | ActionParsnip: World of Warcraft? :P | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | myx0x3: quake2 ran fine over 56kbps | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | myx0x3: not sure, check its bandwidth use in forums | 13:32 |
| mchelen | ugh, that only seemed fine before broadband | 13:32 |
| myx0x3 | ActionParsnip: okej ^_^ ill check it :) tnx for the info ^^ | 13:32 |
| mchelen | its okay, 100ms ping vs 20ms is meaningful tho :D | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | mchelen: depends on the data needs of the game, it might not suffer over a slow link, it vary from game to game | 13:34 |
| [TK]D-Fender | ActionParsnip: Thanks | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | [TK]D-Fender: np man | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | [TK]D-Fender: if you prefer kde, you can always use this: | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | !purekde | 13:36 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 13:36 |
| [TK]D-Fender | ActionParsnip: No, I like choice :) That in mind I DO want it to default to Gnome and I had a KDE splash stuck on my home PC for this. Quick tip on how to avoid? And to switch cleanly between each? | 13:37 |
| [TK]D-Fender | ActionParsnip: Gnome used to start up and certain bits bitched at me about the fact KDM seemed to have taken over. | 13:37 |
| PokerFacePenguin | I have 4 500G hard disks. / partition is 10G, /HOME resides on same disk (but different partition). My other 3 disks are mounted on /media. Utilization of / is nearing 100 percent (mostly due to /media). Without using LVM, is it going to be necessary for me to move the mount point (from /media)? | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | [TK]D-Fender: to switch, log off and change the session type | 13:39 |
| bullgard4 | Why are running 4 processes gvfsd-trash on one Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer but on another only 1? | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | PokerFacePenguin: edit fstab some, or use symlinks to spread the data | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | [TK]D-Fender: if you prefer gdm i think you need: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 13:40 |
| PokerFacePenguin | ActionParsnip: thanks | 13:41 |
| urban_ryoga | how do i change the rights to my files back to a normal user? When i transfered data to my external I use sudo. | 13:41 |
| carpii | sudo chown username.username * -R | 13:41 |
| SunnyDP | chown roxxxx | 13:41 |
| carpii | but first, cd to the directory because its recursive | 13:41 |
| vigge_sWe | hai | 13:42 |
| urban_ryoga | carpii: so just do it from the root of my external? | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | urban_ryoga: run the chown command in the directory containing the files, if there are subfolders you will need -R (chown -R <username> /path/to/top/folder | 13:42 |
| vigge_sWe | how do I use WPA2 enterprise with PEAP and TKIP? | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !wpa | vigge_sWe | 13:42 |

| [TK]D-Fender | ActionParsnip: Thanks again, I'm making a note to memorize that. | 13:42 |
| carpii | urban, just open terminal and cd into your /myfiles or whatever | 13:43 |

| ActionParsnip | !ot | pinheiro | 13:43 |
| pinheiro | or is it beter to send an email to mark | 13:43 |
| ubottu | pinheiro: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 13:43 |

| adamwitt | so heres the thing | 13:45 |
| * zaggynl waves | 13:45 | |
| vigge_sWe | why do you need to do everything manually in linux? | 13:46 |
| carpii | what do you mean manually? | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jorn: ~/.bashrc | 13:46 |
| jorn | why not vigge_sWe way more control | 13:46 |
| adamwitt | I am a Windows man, and have a windows laptop, and I'm running Linux in a Virtual Box | 13:46 |
| zaggynl | it's linux, not windows | 13:46 |
| vigge_sWe | editing all files manually for installing some stuff etc | 13:46 |
| zaggynl | started as a server/hobby os, not desktop os | 13:46 |
| jorn | thx ActionParsnip | 13:46 |
| adamwitt | ive never used linux before so im a complete noob | 13:46 |
| carpii | some people prefer to have more control | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | vigge_sWe: installing stuff in windows is manual too | 13:46 |
| adamwitt | im in the DOS bit | 13:47 |

| === g_steinert is now known as gsteinert | ||
| scizzo- | adamwitt: would help a little to know | 13:50 |
| adamwitt | Ok, sorry, ill give a run down... | 13:50 |
| vigge_sWe | the manual is for ubuntu 6.10, does it matter? | 13:50 |
| bullgard4 | Why are running 4 processes gvfsd-trash on one Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer but on another only 1? | 13:51 |
| scizzo- | vigge_sWe: which manual? | 13:51 |
| vigge_sWe | the wpa howto | 13:51 |
| adamwitt | I am on windows, developing a Ruby on Rails app. I have learned that linux is better than windows for developing a RoR app. | 13:51 |
| vigge_sWe | on how to install wpasupplicant etc | 13:51 |
| adamwitt | So I downloaded VirtualBox, and Linux Rails Turnkey Application. And am now running both. | 13:51 |
| adamwitt | It came with Ubuntu. | 13:51 |
| scizzo- | vigge_sWe: hmmm should be updated information about that somewhere | 13:51 |
| adamwitt | But I am at the DOS prompt of the linux window. | 13:52 |
| ezerhoden | bash prompt :) | 13:52 |
| adamwitt | and have no idea what commands to use, as ive never used linux before in my life | 13:52 |
| scizzo- | adamwitt: never heard of that release really | 13:52 |
| adamwitt | Bash prompt*, thanks. | 13:52 |
| scizzo- | ezerhoden: terminal | 13:52 |
| scizzo- | ezerhoden: bash is a shell | 13:52 |
| adamwitt | shell | 13:52 |
| adamwitt | yes, thats the word im lookin for | 13:52 |
| adamwitt | I'm in the shell console | 13:52 |
| adamwitt | What do I type in to boot up ubuntu? | 13:52 |
| jorn | lol adamwitt dos promt of linux :D | 13:53 |
| adamwitt | :P | 13:53 |
| scizzo- | jorn: dont laugh.....I said that at the begining also | 13:53 |
| adamwitt | I am 100% new to linux, bare with me :P | 13:53 |
| adamwitt | at least i am making an effort! | 13:53 |
| jorn | sure no problem :-) everyone had to learn it some way or another :) | 13:53 |
| mick02 | adamwitt don't mind them but please don't use your return key as punctuation | 13:54 |
| adamwitt | Point taken. | 13:54 |
| jorn | true it makes it hard to read :) | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | vigge_sWe: you can use your install cd to install packages from if your www is down but they will be old. | 13:54 |
| adamwitt | Ok, so, now that we have my context all out of the way / laughed at....how do I get Ubuntu up and kicking? | 13:55 |
| jorn | insert live cd and start installation | 13:55 |
| scizzo- | adamwitt: I am sorry but I am not sure what version of ubuntu or anything like that.....that you have downloaded | 13:55 |
| prince_jammys | adamwitt: did you install a minimal version of ubuntu? | 13:55 |
| erUSUL | adamwitt: you want to install ubntu? or what? | 13:55 |
| adamwitt | http://www.turnkeylinux.org/appliances/core | 13:55 |
| adamwitt | Thats what ive got | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | vigge_sWe: you can install the supplicant off the install cd, or turn or wpa, get stuff installed and then re-enable. Or just use a wired connection til you get on your feet | 13:55 |
| adamwitt | which i got from this: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/appliances/rails | 13:55 |
| Alterios | try typing startx | 13:56 |
| adamwitt | "command not found" | 13:56 |
| prince_jammys | adamwitt: that doesn't seem to come with a GUI | 13:56 |
| ubuntuuser | How can I dualboot Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 8.10 encrypted? | 13:56 |
| adamwitt | dumb question warning: Isn't Ubuntu a GUI? | 13:56 |
| SunnyDP | ubuntuuser: you need LVM | 13:56 |
| hbekel | adamwitt: besides, while your distro is based on ubuntu its not ubuntu, so maybe you'd be better off reading your distributions dicumentation | 13:56 |
| SunnyDP | adamwith | 13:57 |
| SunnyDP | ubuntu is debian | 13:57 |
| SunnyDP | modded | 13:57 |
| SunnyDP | is debian a gui ???? | 13:57 |
| prince_jammys | adamwitt: well, you install the GUI on top. you don't have one installed. | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | adamwitt: the server edition doesnt come with an x server by default | 13:57 |
| ubuntuuser | shall i use the same /boot directory? | 13:57 |
| SunnyDP | action :D:D:D thats right | 13:57 |
| erUSUL | adamwitt: turnkey linux does not have nothing to do with ubuntu... we can not help you here | 13:57 |
| adamwitt | ahh | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | SunnyDP: debian is a distro of linux | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | SunnyDP: metacity is a gui to gnome DE | 13:57 |
| adamwitt | erUSUL - the turnkey came wit Ubuntu | 13:58 |
| prince_jammys | adamwitt: what you have is very minimal. you'll have to install X to get a GUI. | 13:58 |
| adamwitt | Ah, ok | 13:58 |
| jorn | i would advice you to just reinstall the machine | 13:58 |
| adamwitt | why reinstall? | 13:58 |
| jorn | and use the latest ubuntu cd | 13:58 |
| [TK]D-Fender | adamwitt: I see nothing on there that indicates what the base distro is. | 13:58 |
| SunnyDP | yeah why ?> | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | adamwitt: if you install ubuntu-desktop you wil get all the stuff for a desktop system | 13:58 |
| [TK]D-Fender | nvm, I'm blind :) | 13:58 |
| scizzo- | adamwitt: what happens if you type: d-i | 13:58 |
| jorn | installing x is maybe to hard. I just based on what you said earlyer:"linux dos promt" | 13:59 |
| adamwitt | Might be the time to remind everyone that I'm running Linux out of Virtual Box on my Windows laptop, purely for the purpose of developing a Rails application. | 13:59 |
| mick02 | adamwitt if I were you I'd run Wubi from your Windows machine. It installs a "virtual" Ubuntu installation on your Windows machine | 13:59 |
| illissius` | hello peoples. | 13:59 |
| prince_jammys | adamwitt: sure, but apparently you want a gui | 13:59 |
| adamwitt | d-i = command not found | 13:59 |
| prince_jammys | adamwitt: type this (including the word 'type'): type apt-get | 13:59 |
| illissius` | if i have an ext3 filesystem with some bad blocks in it, and i know which ones they are, anyone know how i can find out which files they're in? | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | adamwitt: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 14:00 |
| Alterios | the problem he may run into in WUBI is that his devices may not all be supported | 14:00 |
| TheDeadSerious_ | adamwitt: you might as well install plain ubuntu 8.10 and setup the rails stack on your own. check out this for install instructions: http://blog.olszowka.de/2009/01/22/setting-up-the-whole-rails-stack-from-a-single-debian-meta-package/ | 14:00 |
| adamwitt | user/bin/apt-get | 14:00 |
| prince_jammys | adamwitt: then use the command above to install ubuntu-desktop | 14:00 |
| prince_jammys | just checking to see how minimal your turnkey thing is | 14:01 |
| bullgard4 | Why are running 4 processes gvfsd-trash on one Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer but on another only 1? | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: have you got multiple users logged in? | 14:01 |
| adamwitt | couldnt find package ubuntu-desktop | 14:01 |
| bullgard4 | ActionParsnip: No. | 14:01 |
| adamwitt | ok, so lets forget i want a GUI | 14:01 |
| bigdaddy0522 | I have a question. How do you burn mp3 files to a DATA CD without it auto organizing it for you. I want the tracks in specific order but when i go to burn them it will not allow me to put them in the order i want | 14:01 |
| adamwitt | I am going to go hardcore linux geek now | 14:01 |
| adamwitt | fuk GUIs | 14:02 |
| adamwitt | they suk | 14:02 |
| vigge_sWe | so there is no 1-click config? We don't have access to network info | 14:02 |
| adamwitt | ok, so with that out the way | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | adamwitt: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-gte install ubuntu-desktop | 14:02 |
| FloodBot2 | adamwitt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:02 |
| vigge_sWe | we only get username and pass, that's it | 14:02 |
| [TK]D-Fender | bigdaddy0522: On a data CD there is no concept of "order" | 14:02 |
| scizzo- | oooo | 14:02 |
| [TK]D-Fender | bigdaddy0522: they are just files. | 14:02 |
| scizzo- | adamwitt: this is using tasksel | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | vigge_sWe: there is network-manager which allows configuration of the network settings | 14:02 |
| SunnyDP | :P | 14:02 |
| scizzo- | adamwitt: the old debian install stuff..... | 14:02 |
| bigdaddy0522 | TK so i can not organize the files into the "order" i want with out making folders etc etc. | 14:03 |
| vigge_sWe | ActionParsnip: sorry, ubuntu has no support for TKIP it seems, and needs hellalot of config | 14:03 |
| scizzo- | adamwitt: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html | 14:03 |
| vigge_sWe | I already tried all in the list | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | vigge_sWe: its not something i use, I dont even use wpa as its such a faff | 14:03 |
| vigge_sWe | WPA, wep, LEAP, PEAP, w/e | 14:03 |
| scizzo- | adamwitt: I would suggest you have a little looky there...to see if it can help you in anyway to get started with the installation | 14:03 |
| TheDeadSerious_ | adamwitt: what you've got there is an appliance for deploying rails apps. i think what you'd really want is a setup for developing them first, so you really will need a UI | 14:03 |
| alfio | weeeee ciao a tutti | 14:04 |
| Alterios | bigdaddy: if you rename the files with the track number in the front of the name it will organize them by name | 14:04 |
| vigge_sWe | I read on google that the TKIP driver costs $19, which I wont pay | 14:04 |
| ActionParsnip | vigge_sWe: you can configure wep easily | 14:04 |
| Alterios | then they will be in track order | 14:04 |
| adamwitt | DeadSerious - Im devving in windows | 14:04 |
| alfio | ce qualcuno ke mi aiuta | 14:04 |
| adamwitt | windows GUI is easily understandable to me | 14:04 |
| TheDeadSerious_ | so why do you want that rails appliance? | 14:04 |
| adamwitt | Im used toit | 14:04 |
| Pici | !it | alfio | 14:04 |
| ubottu | alfio: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 14:04 |
| vigge_sWe | ActionParsnip: , this is WPA2 enterprise+PEAP+TKIP | 14:04 |
| Alterios | or you can save a playlist file to the same directory and use that to play the files | 14:04 |
| spl0it | my graphics in X simply stopped working yesterday - I've been trying various adjustments to my xorg and nvidia driver install and all I get is the same result, generic monitor 800x600, and when I load the nvidia-settings tool it says I'm not using the driver - I confirmed the driver installed properly - can anyone please point me in the right direction?? head -> wall = true; | 14:04 |
| ShackTiDe | Hi all. Can somebody tell me what is creating the following folders upon first login Desktop, Document, Public, Music, Pictures, Video, Templates ? (Ubuntu or Gnome) And how can I modify this? | 14:05 |
| adamwitt | DeadSerious - because im getting segmentation faults in windows when i try to run it and dont know why - they came out of nowehre... long story, cant find the bug, so trying in linux... | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | vigge_sWe: i have no experince of those | 14:05 |
| adamwitt | jeez this chat moves fast o.o | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ShackTiDe: /etc/skel | 14:05 |
| bigdaddy0522 | Alterious: with the playlist file is that the same as m3u, or whatever. | 14:05 |
| prince_jammys | adamwitt: you'll have an easier time getting the full ubuntu installer and running on a gui. | 14:05 |
| Alterios | yes | 14:05 |
| blackjak | hello | 14:06 |
| blackjak | would u please tell me a WLAN manager | 14:06 |
| vigge_sWe | Eh, I'll better format again and run 100% windows, because I need internet for my schoolwork | 14:06 |
| ShackTiDe | ActionParsnip: The are not in /etc/skel | 14:06 |
| TheDeadSerious_ | adamwitt: you'll have no fun at all setting up a connection to your development directory on windows and making that run on the linux machine with rails. youll have to mess with port forwarding and such | 14:06 |
| blackjak | I forgot its name | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ShackTiDe: lt me get the folder | 14:06 |
| blackjak | the first letter was | 14:06 |
| blackjak | W | 14:06 |
| bigdaddy0522 | Alterious: so i just put all the files onto disc, then have the playlist on the disc as well saved to the order i wish. will my car stereo be able to play this playlist file, as it is mp3 compat. | 14:06 |
| blackjak | wici or something like that | 14:06 |
| Alterios | bigdaddy: to make it foolproof open the tracks in a media player in order and save the playlist to the same folder as the tracks so it will always work | 14:07 |
| ackbahr | Hi I tried changing a volume mount point via "right-click > properties > volumes" but I messed it up (I put the absolute path whereas it was expecting the relative one), so now I can't mount this volume, so I can't access this windows again! I tried looking in /etc/fstab, but no trace of my mistake here.... Can someone help? | 14:07 |

| Kazulu_ | hello all users of this site of IRC | 14:08 |
| icewaterman | because running two commands seems to be overkill, i have however been unsuccessful at using a more complex regular expression (which doesnt seem to be supported) | 14:08 |
| TheDeadSerious_ | adamwitt: if you really want to stick with windows, you should rather try to get rails running on that. will be easier to setup than the combined linux/windows thingy | 14:08 |
| prince_jammys | icewaterman: test with 'echo': find . \( -iname '*.pdf' -o -iname '*.doc' \) -exec echo rm {} \; | 14:09 |
| prince_jammys | icewaterman: remove the echo if the output looks correct | 14:09 |
| icewaterman | prince_jammys: grrml, how am i supposed to know that i should escape the brackets... | 14:09 |
| Alterios | bigdaddy: it may depending on the player | 14:10 |
| Alterios | most players use the ID3 tags though | 14:10 |
| prince_jammys | icewaterman: they are special to the shell. you need to pass them as literals to find command | 14:10 |
| zxd | hi | 14:10 |
| Alterios | so you need to make sure those are straight and it should play them fine | 14:10 |
| zxd | i can;'t find industrial-cursor-theme on ubuntu | 14:10 |
| zxd | it's on debian | 14:10 |
| zxd | but not ubuntu | 14:10 |
| sakhi | I have installed ubuntu 8.10, how do I upgrade to ubuntu 8.10 without re-installing? | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ShackTiDe: theres a script /etc/profile which runs stuff in /etc/profile.d/ but otherwise i'm unsure, try websearching | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | zxd: then download the theme from the place you get it for, for debian and apply it to ubuntu | 14:12 |
| zxd | ActionParsnip, the thing is i've seen the cursor before in ubuntu , maybe it's named under a different package name | 14:12 |
| sakhi | I have installed ubuntu 8.04, how do I upgrade to ubuntu 8.10 without re-installing? sorry for the previous message | 14:12 |
| icewaterman | prince_jammys: ok, now it works. | 14:13 |
| icewaterman | thx | 14:13 |
| Alterios | zxd: if you get the .deb files from Debian it should work fine in Ubuntu. The theme most has not been added to the latest repositories yet | 14:13 |
| prince_jammys | icewaterman: cool | 14:13 |
| zxd | Alterios, it has , i think it's the default | 14:13 |
| Alterios | sakhi: type sudo apt-get upgrade in the command line | 14:13 |
| zxd | Alterios, in ubuntu atleast is the default | 14:13 |
| zxd | Alterios, but i am doing a boot strap installation and i dont know the package nbame | 14:13 |
| zxd | only under debian | 14:13 |
| Alterios | type sudo apt-get update first though | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | zxd: you can install cursor themes easily, just download the theme and put it on ubuntu | 14:14 |
| Alterios | zxd: oh I see | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | !debian | Alterios | 14:14 |
| ubottu | Alterios: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process.

| blackjak | art sorry | 14:22 |
| blackjak | came out from an archive | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | indian_munnda: looks like it uses the i810 driver which is part of a standard install, you will need to update your xorg.conf (use: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and add line to the sections you are lacking information | 14:23 |

| spl0it | my xorg is using the config file xorg.conf.failsafe - that's why nothing is working - how do I make it load the normal file or see the others from xorg.conf??? any direction would be appreciated | 14:24 |

| spl0it | sorry - see the others -> see the errors | 14:24 |
| nightrid3r | blackjak rightclick then properties | 14:24 |
| blackjak | I think it will be a lot easier to run ubuntu as a root | 14:24 |
| helo | err... liveusb, not live2usb heh | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | spl0it: backup your current xorg.conf somewhere, then run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 14:25 |
| blackjak | so there will be no such stupid situations | 14:25 |
| blackjak | how to enable root account | 14:25 |
| nightrid3r | blackjak don't run as root, you'll fsckup your system | 14:25 |
| blackjak | I try to log in the login screen as a root | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | blackjak: it makes your system significantly less secure | 14:25 |

| nightrid3r | !root | blackjak | 14:25 |
| ubottu | blackjak: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:25 |

| ActionParsnip | indian_munnda: you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf so the display sections look like those in that example | 14:28 |
| sakhi | Alterios: apt-get upgrade will upgrade the entire OS right? not just the packages. | 14:28 |
| spl0it | ActionParsnip: now what - simply restart and see if it uses the normal config instead of the failsafe? | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | spl0it: ctrl+alt+backspace | 14:28 |
| tekteen | sakhi: packages are the entire OS | 14:28 |
| Alterios | sakhi: yes it will | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | sakhi: the OS is made up of packages, so they are one and the same thing | 14:29 |
| Alterios | it will take a long time but when it finishes you will restart to a brand new 8.10 if all went well | 14:29 |
| prince_jammys | well, he may be asking whether it'll do a distro upgrade | 14:29 |

| ubottu | OwNeR: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 14:32 |
| indian_munnda | ActionParsnip: do i need to fill section "monitor and screen" also or just have to edit section "Device" | 14:32 |
| indian_munnda | ? | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | louis: neither is better, its individual, you may think its better, spl0it disagrees | 14:32 |
| phantasam | kde 3 is good stable,kde 4 is realy bad brakes all the time,crashes | 14:33 |
| louis | ok | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | indian_munnda: the video "device" the monitor section and screen section will all need populating similar to that example in that guide | 14:33 |

| nightrid3r | is it possible to get desktop effects working on an SIS771/671 video card | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | indian_munnda: thats because intrepid has less xorg.conf lines due to things like keyboard and mouse being handled by HAL | 14:35 |
| louis | I have xubuntu and when I enter in my desktop, network manager always demand me the code to acces the "Bottom drawer of key" | 14:36 |
| indian_munnda | ActionParsnip: so is it enough if i fill on those 3 sections? | 14:36 |
| indian_munnda | ActionParsnip: or i have to put all of them which are in that example | 14:36 |
| louis | How to stop it? | 14:36 |

| dk | hey i am trying to create database as said in this tutorial http://drupal.org/getting-started/5/install/create-database/mysql but when i run the 1st command i get the message: connect to server at localhost failed | 14:48 |
| dk | can anyone help me in that | 14:49 |
| arvind_khadri | dk, first run mysql -u root -p | 14:49 |
| mikeshollen | So why is Xorg taking up so much CPU time? | 14:49 |
| Renfie|d | Ok, what other way is there to install a later version of a package that isn't available in Jaunty? | 14:49 |
| Workk1 | I AM USING XCHAT | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !caps | 14:49 |
| ubottu | PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 14:49 |
| Workk1 | I CAN'T SEE ANY OPTION FOR ANY PROXY ? | 14:49 |
| Renfie|d | er I mean isn't available in Intrepid. | 14:49 |
| Workk1 | ANY1 HERE TO HELP ME? | 14:49 |
| Pici | Workk1: Only if you lose the caps. | 14:49 |
| Myrtti | Renfie|d: check if you can find the package from PPA's? | 14:49 |
| Workk1 | ok | 14:50 |
| Renfie|d | Myrtti PPA? | 14:50 |
| arvind_khadri | Renfie|d, you can compile from the source or use the PPA's | 14:50 |
| arvind_khadri | !ppa | Renfie|d | 14:50 |
| ubottu | Renfie|d: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 14:50 |
| Renfie|d | Oh. | 14:50 |
| Workk1 | actually its looking so different on ubuntu... on windows i can use it so easily | 14:50 |
| dk | arvind_khadri; its saying access denied for user | 14:50 |
| indian_munnda | ActionParsnip: i did that editing to the file, do i need to restart or something? | 14:50 |
| Myrtti | Workk1: do you have xchat-gnome or xchat? | 14:50 |
| Elda | ActionParsnip, so in typing sudo echo "blacklist pcspkr" will add that to my file without having to open it up in gedit and add it myself Im guessing? | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | indian_munnda: save the file and hit ctrl+alt+backspace | 14:50 |
| TimothyA2 | how does one zip multiple files and directories recusrively in the CLI? | 14:50 |
| arvind_khadri | dk, you need to have mysql-server installed... | 14:50 |
| indian_munnda | ActionParsnip: Ok | 14:50 |
| n8tuser | Renfie|d -> jaunty discussion is on #ubuntu+1 | 14:50 |
| Alterios | workk1: try searching on packages.ubuntu.com and change your distro version below the search box | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Elda: yeah echo >> adds the line to the end of the file | 14:51 |
| spl0it | ActionParsnip: thanks! working great now - you're my hero :) | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Elda: same kinda deal | 14:51 |
| arvind_khadri | dk, are you using mysql on a stand alone system? | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | spl0it: cool | 14:51 |
| Workk1 | i am using xchat gnome | 14:51 |
| Renfie|d | n8tuser I don't want to use Jaunty, just this one package. | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | spl0it: you were using intrepid drivers | 14:51 |
| Wunderbar | lol at xchat gnome | 14:51 |
| arvind_khadri | dk, and it would be better if you ask #mysql | 14:51 |
| dk | arvind_khadri; yes...i installed it just now | 14:51 |
| Workk1 | Myrtti: : I am using xchat gnome | 14:51 |
| Elda | ActionParsnip, that is nice. Thank you again :D | 14:51 |
| Wunderbar | I tried using that a couple of weeks ago | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | spl0it: those numbered ones are usually for intrepid | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | elda np man | 14:51 |
| Myrtti | Workk1: xchat-gnome is a totally different app than xchat, that's why it looks different from what in Windows | 14:51 |
| arvind_khadri | dk, then you need to have mysql-server-5.0 | 14:51 |
| Wunderbar | horrible experience | 14:51 |
| spl0it | ActionParsnip: hmm okay - good to know | 14:51 |
| Workk1 | well, am getting use too for this ubuntu | 14:52 |
| OwNeR | [erUSUL]: =0 | 14:52 |
| dk | arvind_khadri; yes...i installed mysql-server-5.0 | 14:52 |
| Workk1 | so i decided to start from graphical interface | 14:52 |
| n8tuser | Renfie|d -> newer packages is not guaranteed to be backward compatible | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | spl0it: jaunty is out soon so if you upgrade you'll be on the usual stuff | 14:52 |
| Myrtti | Workk1: xchat is graphical as well | 14:52 |
| arvind_khadri | dk, then use the command i gave you ... you will be prompted for a password after installation... | 14:52 |
| spl0it | ActionParsnip: perfect - thanks again | 14:52 |
| Renfie|d | n8tuser I understand. | 14:52 |
| Workk1 | yesterday i got this gnome Xchat.... i don't see any tab for any proxy etc.. or protocol field for irc? | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Workk1: could try one of the many other clients | 14:52 |
| Myrtti | Workk1: if you've used xchat in Windows and now how to use that, then uninstall xchat-gnome and install xchat instead. | 14:52 |
| dk | arvind_khadri; i had installed it previously since i couldnt remember the username and password | 14:52 |
| Elda | sudo apt-get install xchat is your friend :D | 14:53 |
| Workk1 | Myrtti: i am using dual boot windows with ubuntu | 14:53 |
| dk | arvind_khadri; i reinstalled it again now...but it didnt ask me any username and password | 14:53 |
| Myrtti | Workk1: makes no difference | 14:53 |
| Wunderbar | ok guys, problem connecting via wifi, but wired connection works fine- only thing that's changed since yesterday is that I was using bitlbee with irssi and now Im not | 14:53 |
| Elda | Workk1, which version of windows? It doesn't really matter or affect linux but I am curious | 14:53 |

| reel_ | hi, is there a player in linux that resumes DVD playback after the DVD has been taken out and inserted once again ? | 14:54 |
| arvind_k | dk, mysql -u root -p | 14:54 |
| n8tuser | Wunderbar -> are you trying both wifi and wired same time? dont do it -- unless you know how to modify the routing table | 14:54 |
| Elda | E: Couldn't find package newlife ;) | 14:54 |
| arvind_k | dk, you would be prompted for a password...enter the one you gave when you installed the server | 14:54 |
| dk | arvind_khadri; i got it...thank you | 14:54 |
| Wunderbar | noth, I've since turned off wifi- but it's annoying I have to stay in one room when I need to be in another where my books are... | 14:54 |
| arvind_k | dk, np :) | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | reel_: i know what you mean but i'm not sure, you could check the settings of your current media players to see what they can do | 14:55 |
| Workk1 | Myrtti: i am using win xp | 14:55 |
| Wunderbar | n8tuser- do you have any idea what the solution is?? any help would be much appreciated | 14:55 |
| Elda | Wunderbar, why would you turn off wifi if doing so is an inconvenience? | 14:55 |
| hbekel | reel_: smplayer claims to do that | 14:55 |
| Elda | I thought linux was supposed to be about that type of thing :> | 14:55 |
| Workk1 | Myrtti: yesterday i installed this ubuntu its my first experience on linux machine | 14:55 |
| Wunderbar | because it won't allow me to connect | 14:55 |
| n8tuser | Wunderbar -> first is check if your wifi drivers is loaded and okay, post the results of sudo lshw -C network | 14:55 |
| reel_ | ah thank you, I will have a look. | 14:55 |
| Workk1 | on windows machine i am using mirc | 14:55 |
| Elda | Oh :> | 14:55 |
| Myrtti | Workk1: oh. | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Workk1: yuk @ mirc | 14:56 |
| Elda | What wireless card are you using? | 14:56 |
| Elda | yeah mirc is evil :> | 14:56 |
| Workk1 | on this Xchat version that i am using... i can't see any options tab like the 1 we have in mirc etc | 14:56 |
| Elda | Stupid annoying donation message xD | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | mind you I use pidgin which isnt much better | 14:56 |
| Elda | Besides xchat is much more elegant | 14:56 |
| Workk1 | Myrtti: Elda... tell me what to do | 14:56 |
| Elda | Workk1, how to install xchat you mean? | 14:57 |
| Elda | if so just do on the command line sudo apt-get install xchat | 14:57 |
| n8tuser | !who | 14:57 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 14:57 |

| perlsyntax | how do i get the animations to work on ubuntu 8.10? | 14:57 |
| Workk1 | it was like builtin in ubuntu | 14:57 |
| Elda | Workk1, are you working from XP or Ubuntu ? | 14:57 |
| Workk1 | i only installed it and its visible in internet options etc | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | perlsyntax: can you clarify "animations" please | 14:58 |
| perlsyntax | how do i do that? | 14:58 |
| Workk1 | Elda: i am on ubuntu but i have xp as well on the same machine | 14:58 |
| perlsyntax | i check it | 14:58 |
| perlsyntax | but i tnot working. | 14:58 |

| Wunderbar | d | 15:02 |
| mikeshollen | action: how can I look at the exact release, I downloaded the minimal install CD for 8.04 | 15:02 |
| Elda | Well google your thinkpad version and see if it work? | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeshollen: lsb_release -c | 15:03 |
| mikeshollen | action: because I had trouble installing it with the Live CD whenever I got the the GUI | 15:03 |

| Nero-Wolf | ... ow... okay... | 15:03 |
| mikeshollen | 8.04.2 | 15:04 |
| Nero-Wolf | Is there a specific reason the Add/Remove Applications menu won't let me select the Sun Java 6 Plugin? | 15:04 |
| Wunderbar | is there a good reason why using bitlbee or irssi would cause me to lose my wifi connection? | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeshollen: are you fully updated? | 15:04 |
| Nero-Wolf | I've installed the actual Sun Java 6 package... and I'm assuming that comes without the plugin... | 15:04 |
| Wunderbar | that's the real question that Im asking | 15:04 |
| Myrtti | Wunderbar: no | 15:04 |
| mikeshollen | action: i ran the update manager, and it didn't find anything else | 15:04 |
| Workk1 | Pici: | 15:04 |

| rip_ | hey guys trying to set up a raid. have the dumb little built in raid controller on the mobo. have it set to raid 1, in windows it's recognized as one drive, but in linux... it shows 2 as if they aren't on a raid. help? | 15:04 |
| Workk1 | i need to talk to you in PVT | 15:04 |
| Pici | Workk1: go ahead | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Nero-Wolf: it does but i think you have to symlink it to your browsers plugin folder | 15:05 |
| ar1nd4m | Nero: iits sun-java6-plugin I think | 15:05 |
| Nero-Wolf | I can't check the checkbox. | 15:05 |
| Nero-Wolf | And I tried to apt-get it and apt-get tells me the package doesn't exist in the repo. | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Nero-Wolf: if you are using a 64bit linux, you wil need nspluginwrapper to run the 32bit flash | 15:05 |
| Nero-Wolf | ... are you kidding? | 15:05 |
| Nero-Wolf | :( That's lame. | 15:05 |
| Elda | Really? | 15:05 |
| Nero-Wolf | So... there's like 30 more steps I have to do to get Java6 running in FF? | 15:05 |
| Elda | I guess I got lucky then in that I had to download ndiswrapper to get my wireless working xD | 15:06 |
| mikeshollen | actionparsnip: any ideas? | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Nero-Wolf: if you are running 64bit linux install icedtea and it runs 64bit java pretty good | 15:06 |

| Nero-Wolf | ActionParsnip: I would, if my firewall wasn't set on "paranoid". :) | 15:09 |
| Nero-Wolf | Or rather, the firewall at home. | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Nero-Wolf: then just allow the one port through | 15:09 |
| Nero-Wolf | Tried that... | 15:09 |
| carpii | why would you use logmeinrescue when youve got vnc ? | 15:09 |
| keyton | can someone tell me what does it mean allow_other in fstab | 15:09 |
| Nero-Wolf | carpii: Windows XP Box. | 15:09 |
| carpii | you can run vnc server on windows | 15:10 |
| Nero-Wolf | I know that. | 15:10 |
| leonardoalt | Thank you ubottu | 15:10 |
| carpii | kk, i just caught last bit of conversation ;) | 15:10 |
| danfg | is there much of a performance difference between ubuntu and ubuntu x64 for server stuff like running apache, mysql, postgresql? | 15:10 |
| Nero-Wolf | DD-WRT > Linksys WRT54G > Set to "Paranoid". | 15:10 |

| Nero-Wolf | LMI works, though. Strangely... | 15:10 |
| sely | ! | 15:10 |
| keyton | can someone tell me what does it mean allow_other in fstab i cant find explanation | 15:10 |

| Pici | danfg: Sure, why not? | 15:11 |
| DenYO | hello people | 15:11 |
| danfg | Pici: sorry, i meant ubuntu x64 | 15:11 |
| Nero-Wolf | carpii: I'd debated on running a VNC server on the desktop at home, but I don't think it'll let me, heh. | 15:11 |
| danfg | Pici: will there be a performance advantage/hit from using ubuntu x64 instead of regular ubuntu? | 15:11 |
| carpii | why not? | 15:11 |
| carpii | i use vnc server on windows server | 15:12 |
| Nero-Wolf | Again, firewall at home. | 15:12 |
| Pici | danfg: Oh, some proprietary applications do not yet offer good 64bit compatibility, but if you're just using it for a server (i.e, no graphical environment) then by all means, go for it. | 15:12 |
| Nero-Wolf | Let me try opening the port again... | 15:12 |
| carpii | ah right, yea | 15:12 |
| carpii | you have remote access to the firewall ? | 15:12 |
| carpii | i dont get why its a problem then :) | 15:12 |
| Nero-Wolf | carpii: For some reason, even when I open the RDP port to my windows box and have the permissions set properly, it doesn't want to connect. | 15:12 |
| danfg | Pici: but will it be better/worse for performance of stuff like apache and mysql/postgresql? | 15:12 |
| Nero-Wolf | Actually... now that I think about it, avast might be blocking it... | 15:13 |
| === snowwhite is now known as skywalker | ||

| Nero-Wolf | Yeah... that's what I'm trying to do... I'm here at work on my Ubuntu box, and I want to RDP to my home box. | 15:15 |
| Pici | hwilde: Neither probably. Launchpad introduced the ability to sign PPAs recently, which would result in the error that you see now. Let me see if I can find a link on how to fix. | 15:15 |

| hwilde | Pici, so, i updated my local updater, and it is expecting a key, but that launchpad repo is older so it does not have a key available. Am I interpreting right? | 15:18 |
| Nero-Wolf | Yeah. I thought the other money apps available for GNOME were fairly good... | 15:18 |
| Pici | hwilde: I can't seem to find the link I was looking for, but the PPA that you are using for that repo should have instructions on it... i.e: https://launchpad.net/~projectname/+archive/ppa | 15:18 |

| hmw | After years I just lost some data from a NTFS USB HD, luckily I lost nothing important. Bought the drive some weeks ago (it has 5 yrs of guarantee), so I think, it was some sort of logical error.

| Nero-Wolf | Wierd. | 15:23 |

| Jack_Sparrow | keyton Please slow down the repeating and re-phrase your question into something better. | 15:29 |

| hmw | Workk1 you usually download updates after a fresh install, and most probably will install more apps, too. If the partition would be 700MB, you couldnt use the system after a very short while. About the 4GB - this much is quite a nice amount of disk space for ubuntu, so that you can play arount quite much wihtout getting into out-of-disk-space situations. Next time, do the partitioning manually. | 15:40 |

| raqphil_mad | and i dont know how to find it | 15:49 |
| Joker_-_ | Oripor: look for compizConfig manager | 15:49 |
| carpii | w33d5, a bash script, or you mean some software you can run from terminal ? | 15:49 |
| Myrtti | raqphil_mad: do you remember which network it was? | 15:49 |
| Joker_-_ | Oripor: it should be in your menu | 15:49 |

| deathtech | Hello all! Im trying to get my Dell Latitude D630 working when docked . Everything seems fine aside from the display. When docked, i see the console booting, but once X Starts, it uses the laptop display, versus the external one. I can do a ctrl+alt+F1 , and it goes to console mode, on the external monitor, but cant seem to get X to pick up the switch, anyone know any tips/tricks ? | 15:52 |
| Workk1 | hmw: i used it yesterday pidgin | 15:52 |
| Workk1 | hmw: but it was not connecting to irc | 15:52 |
| remoteCTR1 | Joker_-_: it was an mdns entry in nsswitch.conf that i removed, now it works | 15:52 |
| Workk1 | it was very hard for me to understand it though i was able to log on to my MSN account | 15:52 |
| hmw | Workk1 - do you need some unusual settings for your inet connection? i never needed a proxy for IRC | 15:53 |
| Joker_-_ | remoteCTR1: playing with config files is always a dangerous thing, wich I strongly encourage ;) | 15:53 |
| quibbler | raqphil_mad: was it about java scripting? | 15:53 |
| SuperMT | How would I remove all of the things that xubuntu-desktop installed ? | 15:53 |

| Workk1 | hmw: you don't know :) some freaky OPs on undernet etc used to block me | 15:53 |
| Myrtti | erUSUL: could you help him? | 15:53 |
| remoteCTR1 | Joker_-_: well if you wanna build an it infrastructure you will hardly avoid tinkering arround in config files:D | 15:53 |
| Workk1 | We had fight on main channel that OP banned me | 15:53 |
| hmw | Workk1 - aah, here it comes *g* | 15:53 |
| erUSUL | Myrtti: it is already asking on my channel ;P | 15:53 |

| bullgard4 | Why are running 4 processes gvfsd-trash on one Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer but on another only 1? | 15:53 |

| zendo | Hi. Before installation I wanted to try out ubuntu 8.10 live version, but I have WEIRD problem with network. I'm using wired internet with router. Ubuntu connects to internet everything is fine except that i can only access www.google.com and nothing else!! I found some suggestions for fixing this problem here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=418144) but it didnt work. Can someone please tell me how to fix this? | 15:55 |
| SuperMT | Also, is it possible to get that scroll wheel like in windows ? | 15:55 |
| carpii | ah cmon, we dont really wanna hear about your argument with some unknown op | 15:56 |
| myownserver | What's the trick to open a text document on a windows PC via SSH connection? | 15:56 |
| SuperMT | I mean.. when you click the scroll wheel in , the little circle comes up | 15:56 |
| SuperMT | and you can move it up/down/left/right | 15:56 |
| SuperMT | to scroll for you | 15:56 |
| remoteCTR1 | Joker_-_: well basically it used to work just fine, the nessessity to screw emerged out of the above problem;) | 15:56 |
| myownserver | Gedit obviously won't work. | 15:56 |
| carpii | myownserver, you ssh to the linux box and open the editor inside the ssh term | 15:56 |
| Elda | SuperMT, I know what you are talking about, but I think this is more about getting the software/drivers for that :> | 15:56 |
| Workk1 | Elda: do you understand korean :) | 15:56 |
| Scutum | Im trying to install skype but I get an error saying "Error: Dependency is notstisfiable: libqt4-core" | 15:56 |
| Elda | Workk1, nope sorry :> I use altavista+babelfish | 15:56 |
| Workk1 | lolz i don't know how to play korean game | 15:57 |
| carpii | myownserver, try something like nano filename | 15:57 |
| myownserver | carpii: What editor is that? | 15:57 |
| hmw | zendo: can you ping out to the internet? try "ping ist.org" and then (if failed) "ping 212.69.162.25" | 15:57 |
| myownserver | Gotcha. | 15:57 |
| deathtech | Myrtti : This XrandR Extension will allow me to swap the Xserver's Display from the internal laptop to the external attached dock monitor ? | 15:57 |
| SuperMT | Elda: why in the hell wouldn't it come with the OS | 15:57 |
| Workk1 | Elda: i love gaming | 15:57 |
| carpii | myownserver, theres lots. nano is one of the more user freindly, CTRL-O to save, CTRL-X to quit | 15:57 |
| Myrtti | deathtech: very probably | 15:57 |
| quibbler | Scutum: how are you installing skype? | 15:57 |
| alchemist1 | does anyone know how I can get the GUI up if Wubi keeps taking me to a busybox command-line? If I cannot get this working, the users of my network will not be very happy. | 15:57 |
| lasivian | if I have both wifi and ethernet how can I tell which one is being used? | 15:57 |
| maki | hi all | 15:57 |
| Workk1 | you know i have 98GTX plus graphics card | 15:57 |
| SuperMT | Elda: or perhaps it's the GUi | 15:57 |
| ikonia | lasivian: check your routes | 15:57 |
| lasivian | both are connected but the ethernet is much faster, however the icon in gnome shows wifi | 15:57 |
| hmw | lasivian - look to the kernel routing table - type "route" in a shell window | 15:57 |
| ikonia | lasivian: if they both have the same default route - they will likley take your networking down | 15:57 |
| Scutum | I tried both ways with the command line then I downloaded the app and double click it | 15:57 |
| Elda | SuperMT, it may be there but keep in mind Ubuntu is a NON FOR PROFIT project which is made to work basically on all computers, but for the extra stuff you have to do it yourself :P | 15:58 |
| Workk1 | have you played Gearz of War 2 | 15:58 |
| lasivian | thanks | 15:58 |
| ikonia | Workk1: why ? | 15:58 |
| Elda | Workk1, not so much | 15:58 |
| maki | anyone from edubuntu server circles knows if edubuntu 8.10 works x300 thin client? | 15:58 |
| zendo | hmw: for trying only that command I would need to reboot, boot up live session again, and come here... it has some problem with tcp window size but cannot fix it | 15:58 |
| betapi | Myrtti: if someone were spamming you in PM in korean, would you not think directing them to the korean help channel correct? | 15:58 |
| ikonia | maki: should do | 15:58 |
| Myrtti | Workk1: let's keep this channel for support questions, please | 15:58 |
| ^Cheeky | hi installed the lastest eclipse version by downloading from the site, how can i add it to my applications menu and give it a category ? | 15:58 |
| SuperMT | Elda: a scroll type thing is going to break computers? | 15:58 |
| maki | ikonia: really ? | 15:58 |
| Workk1 | well, atleast if you like to play game you should have a good 3D graphics card | 15:58 |
| Myrtti | betapi: no? | 15:58 |
| ikonia | maki: think so | 15:58 |
| betapi | Myrtti: why not? :\ | 15:58 |
| Joker_-_ | myownserver: alternate method (for .doc, xls or anything else than plain text): sftp (ie: filezilla), download file, play with it, upload it back, thank you come again? | 15:58 |
| Elda | SuperMT, no but by the same token is it even necessary to get a base function of the OS? | 15:58 |
| hmw | zendo - do you have DSL (ADSL, XDSL)? if yes, your problem is the "MTU Size" | 15:59 |
| Myrtti | betapi: I'd ask them to stop first... | 15:59 |
| Workk1 | Myrtti: sure... | 15:59 |
| SuperMT | Yes | 15:59 |
| lasivian | hrrm, there is only one default gateway listed, neither ethernet nor wifi show a gateway | 15:59 |
| Workk1 | Myrtti: :) NP | 15:59 |
| Elda | SuperMT, the difference between this and windows is that you have to do some of the stuff yourself :P | 15:59 |
| maki | ikonia: will try, but i think the driver only works on 7.04 | 15:59 |
| betapi | Myrtti: its hard to get a word in edgewise with mountains of spam characters scrolling down | 15:59 |
| ikonia | maki: what driver ? | 15:59 |
| hmw | zendo: asked in another way: do you have PPPoE | 15:59 |
| zendo | hmw: I think so. So can you please tell me how to fix that MTU size? | 15:59 |
| SuperMT | I'm not running my res at a super high res so everyone's page fits in the browswer window | 15:59 |
| SuperMT | yet the text is tiny | 15:59 |
| Elda | SuperMT, not to say that you won't be able to get it done but there are TONS of guides for doing most anything you could want. | 15:59 |
| Elda | Then change your font size | 16:00 |
| maki | ikonia: the x300 thin client driver | 16:00 |
| Joker_-_ | SuperMT: are you talking about ctrl+ scroll wheel mouse? | 16:00 |
| ikonia | maki: pretty sure it's in the later kernels and stable too | 16:00 |
| woum | hi, has anyone an idea which process is permanently accessing my harddisk. Whenever I boot into Ubuntu the lamp starts flickering and never stops - even after hours. | 16:00 |
| maki | ikonia: the problem is that it is proprietary | 16:00 |
| SuperMT | Joker_-_: You want me to try "ctrl + scroll wheel click" ? | 16:00 |
| Joker_-_ | SuperMT: nope, wheel "roll" | 16:01 |
| carpii | woum, open terminal and type 'top'. make sure its not using a lot of swap space | 16:01 |
| ikonia | maki: oh, not the open one - try it | 16:01 |
| hmw | zendo: only in principle, depends on your router/firewall. you need to tell it, to use 8 bytes less than 1500 for one ethernet frame, due to 8 bytes PPPoE overhead. Google for "MTU Size problem" or tell me more details about your home network | 16:01 |
| Joker_-_ | SuperMT: it zooms in and out in a webpage. characters will be bigger or smaller | 16:01 |
| Workk1 | Elda: let me ask you some thing important | 16:01 |
| zendo | hmw: I dont think I do. I really am not sure. This is not my pc and all I know is it has wire connection with router and ubuntu connects automatically wiht no problem... sorry I cannot explain better | 16:01 |
| SuperMT | Joker_-_: no, that's for text. I was talkign about scrolling up and down. | 16:01 |
| Joker_-_ | SuperMT: thats a standard feature in all browsers, even IE | 16:01 |
| Elda | Workk1, sure.... not sure if I can help though. I am a novice user in Linux myself | 16:01 |
| SuperMT | Joker_-_: the little white/black mouse thing in Windows | 16:01 |
| Workk1 | Elda: today when i booted my system to ubuntu it gave me 3 times errors | 16:01 |

| Joker_-_ | SuperMT: oh, guess I should try to answer questions I havent read :P | 16:02 |
| Elda | Workk1, yeah that is over my head | 16:02 |
| Workk1 | Elda: it was like operation failure etc | 16:02 |
| SuperMT | and you can gradualy drag it up and down for the scroll speed | 16:02 |
| SuperMT | or to left/right | 16:02 |
| Workk1 | and it game me 2 choices like dskclean etc | 16:02 |
| Elda | Workk1, well google? | 16:02 |
| Workk1 | then i did a trick to enter in to recovery mode and then i was able to run this ubuntu | 16:02 |

| hmw | Veratyr9: almost every onboard RAID is "pseudo raid" - it is in fact a software solution, so linux shows you exactly, what you have: no real RAID at all. You need to use LVM for doing RAID (logical volumes manager) | 16:04 |
| SuperMT | oh | 16:04 |
| Veratyr9 | hmw: yea exactly | 16:04 |
| ubuntu1 | Good day to everybody | 16:05 |
| Joker_-_ | superMT: what are you trying to do and what doesnt work as you expect it to? | 16:05 |
| SuperMT | Elda: correct | 16:05 |
| hmw | Veratyr9 - thats totally normal. get a real raid controller, unless you want raid for security (not performance9 | 16:05 |
| Joker_-_ | Elda: Oh, right | 16:05 |
| lasivian | if I have wifi and ethernet connecting to the same network and "route" only shows one gateway under "default" is there any way to tell which interface is being used? | 16:05 |
| Joker_-_ | SuperMT: I hate that feature lol | 16:05 |
| Veratyr9 | hmw: its on the list of things to get when theres a spare paycheck. i hate this onboard crap | 16:05 |
| SuperMT | Joker_-_: shrug | 16:05 |
| hmw | Veratyr9 yeah, onboard shall die *g* especially those dumb "raid" controllers. | 16:06 |
| Joker_-_ | SuperMT: tastes arent to discuss tho. I never tryed to get that thing in linux, but iirc, it's usually provided by mouse drivers. | 16:06 |
| RickX | can someone tell me when you can specify CLI install when installing from the alternate CD? | 16:06 |
| zendo | hmw: do you think that if I find some MTU size value with (sudo ifconfig eth0 1400) I should stop at it and put that command int /etc/rc.d/rc.local ? | 16:06 |
| Atherton | does the latest Ubuntu support ext4? | 16:06 |
| hanasaki | what is the syntax to ssh to a box on a port other than 22? | 16:06 |
| lasivian | hanasaki: ssh -p port# ip | 16:06 |
| Joker_-_ | SuperMT: you could always map the middle button click to a function that would then capture the mouse moovements and scroll the documents according to it... | 16:07 |

| pringat | hi there, where can i get hd-media/boot.img.gz for 8.04.2? | 16:30 |
| Natty | what stuff for that too | 16:30 |
| Baatti | My wireless has stopped picking up signals after someone came to our house and gave us a new modem and set us up for Comcast Digital Phone Service. Wireless was previously working with the ath5k fix...I've run through the procedure to set that up again and it still won't work | 16:30 |
| ikonia | Natty: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion only | 16:30 |
| ikonia | pringat: hd-meida ? | 16:30 |

| Xrm123 | yownanymous: I've gotten it to work on windows, but i cant get the drivers to work in ubuntu | 16:31 |
| erUSUL | Natty: there are many ides editors and a compiler for c c++ aviable on the repos | 16:31 |
| pringat | ikonia: hd-media I meant... | 16:31 |
| InvaderZim | Baatti: really? it knows how to do the partition things without messing it up? | 16:31 |
| InvaderZim | ashok_: yes, please | 16:31 |
| ikonia | pringat: what is the hd-media/boot.img ? | 16:31 |
| hmw | bullgard4 it might be possible, that another process is trying to do something, which might cause these processes to appear again. My hint was just a generic one. | 16:31 |
| yownanymous | InvaderZim: the point is it doesn't partition | 16:31 |
| jrib | brian98: how long is a debian release supported out of curiousity? | 16:31 |
| pringat | ikonia: to boot the installer from a USB for instance.... | 16:31 |
| Baatti | InvaderZim, yes, it will set up a partition for you. Just choose a guided partition when asked | 16:31 |
| === ObiWanQueNoob is now known as WHATEVER | ||
| ashok_ | InvaderZim: baatti is correct, but if you check the PM i just sent you theres a link to part 1 of 5 video tutorials | 16:31 |
| yownanymous | Baatti: actually it sets up a virtual disk which ubuntu thinks is a partition | 16:32 |
| Baatti | :P | 16:32 |
| Baatti | well, whatever the technical names for it are, its pretty friggin' cool | 16:32 |
| austin | cchildress: it sitll won't load....like i click on it and it shows up in the bar below, and goes away after a few seconds | 16:32 |
| InvaderZim | Baatti: thank you | 16:32 |
| InvaderZim | ashok_: thank you | 16:32 |
| yownanymous | Baatti: indeed, a real operating system run on the idea of a virtual machine | 16:32 |
| ashok_ | InvaderZim: yep ;) | 16:32 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia, hmw I killed 3 of them using System Monitor. They did not re-appear. | 16:33 |
| InvaderZim | yownanymous: hurr. ok | 16:33 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: seems a good sign | 16:33 |
| Baatti | yownanymous, can you try and hlep me fix my wireless? | 16:33 |
| yownanymous | InvaderZim: it's complicated, but trust me, it works | 16:33 |
| yownanymous | Baatti: what's up with it? | 16:33 |
| MindVirus | Can anyone recommend me good guitar composition software? | 16:33 |
| SuperMT | ikonia: I finally went back and found out about the nonsupported clone distro reply after the various attempts to distract | 16:33 |
| brian98 | jrib: I've never ran into this issue with debian servers, I have one box that is running since 2003 | 16:33 |
| hmw | bullgard4 - if they should reappear, you will have to hunt down the source. if not, well... forget about it. Maybe you want to check your drives for data integrity. | 16:34 |
| Baatti | yownanymous, I was previously using the ath5k fix, everything was working fine. But now someone came to the house to install Comcast Digital Phone service, and gave us a new modem..now my wireless won't work | 16:34 |
| Baatti | yownanymous, I've followed the original steps to try and set up ath5k again, still not working | 16:34 |
| SuperMT | It looked like it'd need a monster of a video card. | 16:34 |
| yownanymous | Baatti: erm... Have you contacted Comcast about it? | 16:34 |
| bullgard4 | hmw: Thank you for your careful additional hints. | 16:34 |
| Baatti | yownanymous, nay, my father's Vista is working just fine. He didn't have to change anything on his computer | 16:35 |
| alpha4 | I forgot my password for ubutnu | 16:35 |
| ashok_ | Baatti: before did you have wireless networks showing up besides your own? | 16:35 |
| alpha4 | How i find out what is the password | 16:35 |
| Natty | gnome voice control not working | 16:35 |
| yownanymous | Baatti: that's an odd one, can you give me some specs for you and your dad's computer then? | 16:35 |
| Baatti | ashok_, yes one | 16:35 |
| ikonia | alpha4: you need to reset it | 16:35 |
| ikonia | alpha4: boot into single user mode and reset it | 16:35 |
| Baatti | yownanymous, what kind of specs? | 16:35 |
| ashok_ | alpha4: here is a uide http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 16:36 |
| yownanymous | Baatti: well most particularly | 16:36 |
| ashok_ | Baatti: can you still detect that network? | 16:36 |
| yownanymous | things like wireless/network adapters | 16:36 |
| Baatti | ashok_, no, no networks are showing up | 16:36 |
| Natty | I install gnome voice control | 16:36 |
| erUSUL | Baatti: you got a new modem but the wifi router/access point is the same? | 16:36 |
| Baatti | yownanymous, hrm, I'm using Atheros 5007 I believe | 16:36 |
| Natty | it said its installed | 16:36 |
| Baatti | erUSUL, correct | 16:36 |
| yownanymous | Baatti: ah, infamous atheros | 16:36 |
| Natty | but wont work | 16:37 |
| Baatti | yownanymous, aye | 16:37 |
| yownanymous | Baatti: well I'm not very good with telecom technology so I probably can't help, sorry | 16:37 |
| pringat | once again... does any body know where can i get hd-media/boot.img.gz for 8.04.2? | 16:37 |
| ashok_ | How do I accept the license for java in terminal? | 16:37 |
| Baatti | yownanymous, its ok, thanks for the attempt, looks like I've grabbed the attention of a few others anyway | 16:38 |
| erUSUL | ashok_: use tab and enter | 16:38 |
| ashok_ | erUSUL: grahtzee | 16:38 |
| yownanymous | Baatti: what about a kernel update or something? it might work | 16:38 |
| erUSUL | ashok_: tab to navigate to the ok button and enter to "press" it | 16:38 |
| Baatti | I updated the kernal last night :( | 16:38 |
| yownanymous | hmm | 16:38 |
| yownanymous | how strange | 16:38 |
| ashok_ | erUSUL: grahtzee = thank you :P | 16:38 |
| Baatti | yeah, I'm like, clueless | 16:38 |
| erUSUL | ashok_: no problem | 16:39 |
| ashok_ | Baatti: to me it sounds like an issue on your system only because you lost both wireless networks, not just yours | 16:39 |
| yownanymous | well I think I'm gonna go now | 16:39 |
| Baatti | ashok_, aye, any ideas on how I'd go about fixing/finding out what went wrong? | 16:39 |

| austin | can anyone help me with a song brid install? | 16:40 |
| Baatti | ashok_, heh, well, thank you much for the help | 16:40 |
| ashok_ | Baatti: yep, sorry i'm a linux nub | 16:40 |
| Baatti | I'm thinking I should just back up my stuff, and reinstall linux *sigh* | 16:41 |
| ashok_ | Baatti: ooc, have you tried booting into the older kernel version? | 16:41 |
| Baatti | hrmm | 16:41 |
| Baatti | no, haven't tried that... | 16:41 |
| ashok_ | That might give you a nice jumping off point to troubleshoot it, if it works in the older kernel version | 16:41 |
| === osxdude_ is now known as osxdude | ||
| brian98 | jrib: The repos don't get pulled. It's no biggie, I wasn't aware of the old-releases repo.. | 16:41 |
| Baatti | um *blush* how do I boot to an older kernal??? | 16:41 |
| ashok_ | when you get grub | 16:42 |
| brian98 | jrib: Thats fine for the moment until I can get to a bleeding edge version :) | 16:42 |
| arvind_khadri | Baatti, in the grub menu | 16:42 |
| ashok_ | that big long list are all the previous kernel versions | 16:42 |
| jrib | brian98: because running an unsupported release is a bad idea... | 16:42 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| Baatti | k | 16:42 |
| ashok_ | just scroll 2 listings down to the one that isn't (recovery mode) | 16:42 |
| jrib | brian98: nothing to do with bleeding edge, even 6.06 still has support | 16:42 |
| Baatti | I'm going to try a few things...thanks for the starting point guys...I might see you later | 16:42 |
| Baatti | peace | 16:42 |
| ashok_ | peace | 16:42 |
| brian98 | jrib: Which is older than 7.04 .. Thats like microsoft dropping support for windowsXP but supporting windows 2000 | 16:43 |
| Natty | Thanks | 16:43 |
| Geek`N`Proud | brian98, nope not quite | 16:43 |
| Geek`N`Proud | LTSes get longer support | 16:43 |
| brian98 | :) | 16:43 |
| meganox | how do i grant a user permission to create samba shares? | 16:43 |
| l3ftm1n0r | can anyone help me out on atheros wifi support thing? | 16:43 |
| Geek`N`Proud | LTSes are for business - like Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows 2003 | 16:43 |
| jrib | brian98: the LTS exist exactly so servers only need to be upgraded once every 5 years | 16:43 |
| ashok_ | its like microsoft dropping support for vista but leaving xp supported | 16:43 |
| Natty | Thanks for everything, Everyone! ashok | 16:44 |
| swamptin | hey, by any chance, if I change gnome to icewm, will it remove the qtlibs? I have no idea if they are related or not, but I wanna go playing with my eebuntu base install :) | 16:44 |
| brian98 | Agreed, and I like a right plonker decided to roll out 7.04 to servers about when it came out. | 16:44 |
| brian98 | Not to worry, it's no biggy! | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | swamptin: no it shouldn't uninstall them | 16:45 |
| swamptin | erUSUL: thanks :) | 16:45 |
| jrib | brian98: sure, you can do as you wish. I just wanted to make it clear to you that running servers without getting updates for security issues is dangerous | 16:45 |
| brian98 | unless there are no security issues :) | 16:45 |
| ashok_ | remember how long the Debian openSSL flaw went unnoticed by devs? | 16:46 |
| ikonia | brian98: then there would be no updates, | 16:46 |
| ashok_ | Imagine that, except nobody is looking for security flaws | 16:46 |
| ashok_ | enjoy your "128 bit" encryption... | 16:46 |
| brian98 | unless it's related to something your exposing to the world then it doesn't matter | 16:46 |
| KrisWillis | Afternoon | 16:46 |
| ikonia | brian98: it does matter, but if you feel you know better, lets stop discussing it | 16:47 |
| ashok_ | the point is, who knows what the actual flaws are if nobody is looking for it? | 16:47 |
| ashok_ | anyway, 8.10 has a cooler login sound :P | 16:47 |
| arvind_khadri | ashok_, its the same... | 16:47 |
| brian98 | so if your blocking all traffic except to say port 80 and there is no issues with apache which is listening on that port, whats the vulnerabilty? | 16:48 |
| ikonia | brian98: look at what apache is linked against, lets move on | 16:48 |
| ashok_ | arvind_khadri: shhhh...... :P | 16:48 |
| KrisWillis | I was wondering if someone could help me - I have a 3 screen set-up with two Nvidia cards using Xinerama, where I upgraded to 8.10 today from 8.04, my screens no longer work. My Xorg.0.log tells me that "Screen 0 shares mem & io resources" - Any ideas? | 16:49 |
| l3ftm1n0r | can anyone help me out with the atheros wifi probem? i was able to make it work using the madwifi but for some reason it's awfully slow | 16:49 |
| swamptin | oh, am I right in assuming that ebuntu uses gnome as standard, ya? | 16:50 |
| mathieuI | yeah | 16:50 |
| ashok_ | does anyone know how to set up unique wallpapers without turning off gnome desktop rendering? i found a forum post mentioning a lunchlet app or something like that but I dont know what that means... | 16:50 |

| Enissay | ashok_, yeah, from WinXp | 16:53 |
| InvaderZim | ashok_: watched the tutorials and it seems as straightforward as when i installed xubuntu on my older pc. thing is, he kept metioning windows xp in the video. i'm going to install ubuntu on a machine with vista on it. i want to make sure that they partiotion happily for dual booting purposes. I've recently read that Vista can mess up if you do the partitioning wrong. will the automatic install wizard do that for vista? | 16:53 |
| ikonia | dk: just a waring, fix your ServerName varible if you want to get rid of it | 16:53 |
| hmw | Enissay you need to tell virtualbox about the other hdds and then you cann access them via the network neigbhourhood | 16:53 |
| mathieuI | Enissay, you can't | 16:53 |
| ikonia | dk: it's an apache config varible | 16:53 |
| ashok_ | InvaderZim: yes | 16:53 |
| indian_munnda | arvind_khadri: i did as ActionParsnip said but it didnt worked and it even stopped my gui when i restarted GUI. | 16:53 |
| mathieuI | you can create a shared directory | 16:53 |
| ashok_ | Enissay: mathieul took the words out of my mouth | 16:53 |

| indian_munnda | arvind_khadri: let me tell you something. when i installed intrepid, that time was not able to login in GUI. When i put my uid and pass in login windows i just got stuck to an orange screen or black screen but i was able to login in CLI. One day someone told me to rename compiz file to compiz.disabled.

| stale | Hi. I need a script for killing a process and start a new instance of this process with some other parameters. how do i do this? | 17:03 |
| arvind_khadri | ratinacage78, just open your xorg.conf and place "1024x728" next to "800x600" | 17:03 |

| ^Cheeky | should i install unrar-free or unrar .. by itself ? | 17:04 |
| l3ftm1n0r | thanx though let me try | 17:04 |
| carpii | stale, youd write one :) you can read the cmdline for the process from /proc/pid/cmdline, then use kill <pid> and reissue the command | 17:04 |
| mathieuI | so you'll have to note it on a paper | 17:04 |
| mathieuI | good luck | 17:04 |
| l3ftm1n0r | yea i have done that | 17:04 |
| erUSUL | dk: php5-mysql or php-db or something like that | 17:04 |

| arvind_khadri | indian_munnda, your machine cant support it... try googling | 17:04 |

| ratinacage78 | sigma. the forums are down. i pasted it to you in pm. | 17:39 |
| jrib | refefer: ummmm, use ion or any other window manager in the repositories? | 17:39 |
| bmh | I have pasted into the pastin, and now how I can see in the room? | 17:39 |
| refefer | jrib, yes, well, I would like the convenience of gnome or kde in terms of polish, but with that window tiling style option | 17:40 |
| Eritrean | Can anyone recommend me a good DVDphoto slideshow program that can burn to home dvd's for ubuntu 8.04 (--forget ManDVD -- it doesn't work)? | 17:40 |
| drash | ratinacage78: that's standard now with the recent X, no need to set anything specific ... which makes me wonder if there's something in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log that explains why you're locked into 800x600 ... did you check that log file for errors, lines starting with (EE) ? | 17:40 |
| refefer | if it doesn't exist, well, that's a different story | 17:40 |

| erUSUL | SkyLeach: syslogd/klogd mark the log every 20 minutes so you know the lack of messages is not becouse the log server died | 17:58 |
| SkyLeach | jrib, why thank you I would never have thought of RTFM | 17:58 |
| Draconicus | I need to disable the automatic numlock function that starts when GNOME starts. | 17:58 |
| Draconicus | Anyone know how? | 17:58 |
| SkyLeach | erUSUL, what really bothers me more is the lack of messages | 17:58 |

| mib_lqum3wdl | i know it's weird to ask this in #ubuntu, but what is the best linux distro for completely linux newbie? | 18:00 |
| ikonia | SkyLeach: look at your auth log | 18:00 |
| prince_jammys | Ricardo777: haha | 18:00 |
| Elda | SkyLeach someone is attacking you? :> Why not just take the server down for a bit? | 18:00 |
| Ricardo777 | I have tried before, but it didn't work. That was when it was "messy/buggy". But now, so far clean. | 18:00 |
| prince_jammys | Ricardo777: everyone bombarded you with answers | 18:00 |
| SkyLeach | Elda, it's from a single IP. I'll just block it. | 18:00 |
| RockmanFL | Hi, I need help please! I have spent over 20 hours on forums and do not like asking for help so please know I do not come here looking for a quick fix but I am at the end of my wits in looking for what should be a simple answer My Background: Brand new to Linux with 20 years of computer experience...heavy windows user today that learned on basica then Dos however I am not a programmer and have no formal IT trainign. Configuration: Vista PC, | 18:00 |
| SkyLeach | got it from the auth log. | 18:00 |
| SkyLeach | blocked in 5 | 18:00 |
| erUSUL | SkyLeach: look in messages auth.log (firewall log ig you use ulog) etc | 18:01 |
| Ricardo777 | 4 is many answers? lol | 18:01 |
| Elda | RockmanFL, just get to the question part | 18:01 |
| Jockeo | How can I easily record the screen (or part of it) for some minutes and then upload it on a server (website) with password protection? (That actually makes two questions: recording and sharing) | 18:01 |
| Elda | RockmanFL, Ive used pcs for less time than you and Im sure if I can understand linux you can do it too :P | 18:01 |
| prince_jammys | RockmanFL: your question got cut off :) | 18:01 |
| erUSUL | Jockeo: use xvidcap or recordmydesktop | 18:01 |
| RockmanFL | ok I get Linux very well | 18:01 |
| SkyLeach | erUSUL, ty | 18:01 |
| Jockeo | erUSUL: I will look those up. Thanks! | 18:01 |
| Elda | Just ask the question part, hehe | 18:02 |
| SkyLeach | ty others that offered advice | 18:02 |
| jasehelp | ok | 18:02 |
| * SkyLeach still prefers syslog-ng ;-) | 18:02 | |
| Ricardo777 | well, I'm going to get the latest ubuntu & put it on some black CD-R disk & see if it works this time. | 18:02 |
| RockmanFL | Cannot see Samba shares on Vista or XP and Windows cannot see Ubuntu | 18:02 |
| Draconicus | Look, I'm going to lose a LOT of money if I can't get this problem fixed. | 18:02 |
| Draconicus | Doesn't anyone here know anything about GNOME? | 18:02 |
| SkyLeach | Draconicus, I hear it's a desktop | 18:02 |
| prince_jammys | Ricardo777: cool. burn it slow | 18:02 |
| Ricardo777 | especially cause Ubuntu is up-to-date | 18:02 |
| SkyLeach | or more specifically, a window manager and library :-) | 18:02 |
| RockmanFL | Spent hours in forums with no luck to fix | 18:02 |
| Elda | Vista/Windows cannot see the etc3 or whatever it is Ubuntu uses normally Id think you need a program to do that | 18:02 |
| jrib | !helpme | Draconicus | 18:03 |
| ubottu | Draconicus: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 18:03 |
| Elda | Linux should be able to see windows NTFS partitions though | 18:03 |
| SkyLeach | Elda, ntfs-3g | 18:03 |
| Ricardo777 | burn it slow, oh yeah, maybe that was what I didn't do. But how slow though? | 18:03 |
| RockmanFL | sorry...thought my background would help for a base for the answer | 18:03 |
| Draconicus | I know for a fact that patience leads to swallowed questions that never get answered. :| | 18:03 |
| Elda | Personally though What I did is created a 20 gig partition for Windows (windows 7) a 10 gig for Ubutu, 4 for swap space and the rest ~80 gigs as a shared space | 18:03 |
| prince_jammys | Draconicus: what is the question anyway? | 18:04 |
| prince_jammys | i don't see any question here | 18:04 |
| Elda | If you want to share space between both OSes just Id say make a shared partition that both can use | 18:04 |

| prince_jammys | Ricardo777: how slow to burn you mean? as slow as you have patience for :) it reduces chances of a bad cd. | 18:08 |
| RockmanFL | I can be patient...Can someone please confirm you saw my question...is it in que to be answered? | 18:08 |
| triggerhapp | indian_munnda, Do you mean run one after one has finished? | 18:08 |
| indian_munnda | triggerhapp: yes | 18:09 |
| arvind_khadri | indian_munnda, that would call for some scripting.... | 18:09 |
| alanbshepard70 | After updating my 8.10 install my display can only be set to 800x600, how do I fix this? Monitor is capable of 1024x768. | 18:09 |
| triggerhapp | indian_munnda, How are you currently running said first program | 18:09 |
| jrib | RockmanFL: that isn't how it works. If someone knows the answer, someone will answer you. If no one answers, try again in 15 minutes | 18:09 |
| prince_jammys | RockmanFL: try again in a bit | 18:09 |
| RockmanFL | understood | 18:09 |
| prince_jammys | it's a common question, someone will know | 18:09 |

| xSlack | how do i do this | 18:11 |
| triggerhapp | indian_munnda, This would probably require a specialist program to download or some scripting | 18:11 |
| arvind_khadri | indian_munnda, look at the ETA and use the shutdown to switch after so much of time...give a relaxation of say 10 mins | 18:11 |

| DStrevinas | Depends: compiz-core (=1:0.7.4-0ubuntu6) but 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu7 is to be installed | 18:17 |
| jelly-bean | is there an easy way to add a new launcher to my desktop? e.g. by dragging and dropping? | 18:17 |
| DStrevinas | what happens here? | 18:17 |
| sebsebseb | SiDi: sure or that can be done, but yeah keyboard shortcuts are quicker and easier then menu I think | 18:17 |
| SiDi | sebsebseb, yeh :) it's all about remembering them | 18:17 |
| sebsebseb | SiDi: ,but I just tend to use menu | 18:17 |
| arvind_khadri | DStrevinas, why do you want to install that? | 18:17 |
| sebsebseb | SiDi: well it says in the menu what the keyboard shortcuts are | 18:17 |
| henchy | jelly-bean: you can drag and drop from the menus to an empty spot on the desktop | 18:17 |
| Felix_Aurelius | Righto. Anyway, I was trying to troubleshoot an application crash and came to the, yes, extremely foolish conclusion that it was a permissions issue. So, I figured, why not chmod 777 the /usr directory?

Long story short, it b0rked my system, changing all the | 18:17 |
| SiDi | sebsebseb, yeh. that's how i learnt about it | 18:18 |
| Felix_Aurelius | So, yeah. I can use things normally, but I want to patch it all up to the status quo ante | 18:18 |
| Ricardo777 | Ok, so now I'm downloading the Ubuntu iso (latest). | 18:18 |

| Felix_Aurelius | Someone was being silly. | 18:19 |
| DStrevinas | When I move to Normal or Extra, the windows do not contain the above bar | 18:19 |
| Felix_Aurelius | So, can anyone help me with my issue? I could take it to PMs if that would be better. | 18:19 |
| henchy | jelly-bean: ahh, in that case you probably have to make the launcher manually, unless someone else has an idea | 18:19 |
| ookz | ir dummy then | 18:20 |
| sebsebseb | ookz: 8.10 is the current latest 9.04 is out in April | 18:20 |

| SkyLeach | gets more sh*t done 8-D | 18:31 |
| quiksilver | command not found | 18:31 |
| jrib | ookz: I just use ubuntu as my main system, after a few weeks you learn the basic commands | 18:31 |

| ashok_ | how do i install amarok in gnome? | 18:31 |
| ookz | I'm a windows guru but I hate ms now with a passion | 18:32 |
| sebsebseb | ashok_: sudo apt-get install amarok | 18:32 |
| jrib | quiksilver: just the stuff inside the « » | 18:32 |
| SkyLeach | ashok_, the same way you isntall it anywhere else | 18:32 |
| sebsebseb | ashok_: hell you could have the whole of kubuntu if you want | 18:32 |
| sagredo | guys | 18:32 |
| sagredo | I just realized | 18:32 |
| sagredo | that I can automate my scripts with cron | 18:32 |
| DVA5912 | Is their such thing as Active Sync for UBuntu | 18:32 |
| sagredo | !!!! | 18:32 |
| ashok_ | i like gnome, but i miss amarok from kde...do i need to do anything besides the apt-get or will that add whatever else there needs to be? | 18:32 |
| ookz | cron? | 18:33 |
| RockmanFL | Does anyone now how to get Ubuntu 8.10 with Samba to see shared windows folders on an XP and vista machine AND for the windows to see the shared folder on Ubuntu box? wired via router...I have spent hours on forums and reading with no luck so most of the common suggestions have been tried...I am brand new to Linux but LOVE IT ...understand basic terminal commands and of course the GUI | 18:33 |
| sagredo | I thought I'd share my excitement | 18:33 |
| sagredo | lulz | 18:33 |
| sebsebseb | ashok_: that will just install amarok. also amarok lol | 18:33 |
| lianimator | any way to undo rm? | 18:33 |
| ashok_ | DVA5912: you could install a virtual machine to sync your WM device | 18:33 |
| sebsebseb | ashok_: if you got Intrepid Ibex do this isntead :) | 18:33 |
| Bolin | Maybe someone could help me out with Grub. A guy has been helping me for quite a while but he had to leave and it still doesn't work. He was absolutely clueless at the end saying that it really should work now considering everything we tried. Im trying to install it on a fresh sata-disk. There's no other disks installed and no other OS's. Only one Sata-disk with a fresh install. I get Error 21 after installation. | 18:33 |
| sebsebseb | ashok_: sudo apt-get install banshee | 18:33 |
| ookz | So in order to get KDE on ubuntu I have to duel boot with Kubuntu? | 18:33 |
| DVA5912 | ashok_: as in buy windows xp ? | 18:33 |
| SkyLeach | RockmanFL, generally set up your samba server as primary WINS and then add it's IP to your router's DNS configuration. | 18:33 |
| ashok_ | sebsebseb: gah too late, its installing amarok...what is banshee? | 18:33 |
| ookz | Why by win xp lol | 18:33 |
| ashok_ | DVA5912: oh, sorry i thought you already had a license of the windows client | 18:33 |
| ookz | buy* | 18:33 |
| RockmanFL | have not done that ...will try thx | 18:34 |
| SkyLeach | ookz, well it is the only version of windows currently worth a dern | 18:34 |
| DVA5912 | ookz: No piracy please | 18:34 |
| Leo_Dragonheart | I can barely read the links on this page how can I change the font color of the links? | 18:34 |
| sebsebseb | ashok_: it used to suck in Hardy Heron, but the version in Interpid Ibex is amazing. it's a very good music and video player | 18:34 |
| lianimator | sebsebseb: isn't rhythmbox better than banshee? which is less prone to crash? | 18:34 |
| ookz | SkyLeach: I'm sure you can find you an unattended ISO floating around with SP3 on it | 18:34 |
| sebsebseb | lianimator: I used to use Rythombox in Hardy Heron when Banshee sucked | 18:34 |
| ashok_ | DVA5912: looks like wine supports activesync http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=8980 | 18:34 |
| sebsebseb | lianimator: ,but now Banshee kicks arse big time compared to Rythombox | 18:34 |
| sebsebseb | and Amarok | 18:35 |
| SkyLeach | ookz, work with vista for a while and any version of XP starts sounding like gold | 18:35 |
| lianimator | sebsebseb: thanks, I'll get banshee soon! amarok isn't native to gnome, right? | 18:35 |
| DVA5912 | ashok_: i would have though ms would have banned it. Wow thats a big surprise | 18:35 |
| Myrtti | lianimator: right | 18:35 |
| sebsebseb | lianimator: indeed it's not native to Gnome since it's a KDE app, but it will run in Gnome/Ubuntu | 18:35 |
| ookz | Skyleach: Man my company wanted to switch over to vista.... | 18:35 |
| redvamp128 | Bolin: can you pastebin the following and maybe someone may be able to help you - fdisk -l and your menu.lst file (I have seen people help as well as helped some with that info) | 18:35 |
| ookz | Skyleach: Worst few months of my life | 18:35 |
| ashok_ | DVA5912: oops, looks like I lied...read the page and you won't be able to connect your device | 18:35 |
| nightrid3r | lianimator i use amarok in ubuntu, works great | 18:35 |
| Bolin | redvamp128: ok | 18:36 |
| sebsebseb | lianimator: yeah you need Intrepid Ibex for good version of Banshee, or do the ppa in Hardy Heron | 18:36 |
| DVA5912 | ashok_: I knew it was too good to be true :P | 18:36 |
| ookz | Skyleach: and doing any administration in vista is like pulling teeth | 18:36 |
| jrib | ookz, SkyLeach: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support discussion please | 18:36 |
| ashok_ | DVA5912: if you don't have a license of the windows client, maybe this article can help you? http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blogs/27/a_new_adventure_windows_mobile_and_ubunt | 18:36 |
| enquest | If I want to block certain website between 9 and 17 how should I do that? | 18:36 |
| redvamp128 | Bolin: I with that info I can have a look but I can only look for general errors. But possibly others may have a look and find the errors. | 18:36 |
| vigge_sWe | :/ | 18:37 |
| DVA5912 | ashok_: Checking it out | 18:37 |
| Jufis | I think I lost my sounds after system suspend | 18:37 |
| lianimator | sebsebseb: I like rhythmbox's easy search. and it'll play the songs in the filter.. I don't like making playlists. | 18:37 |
| vigge_sWe | I'll guess noone knows about TKIP... | 18:37 |
| sebsebseb | lianimator: playlists heh, just import your music to banshee and videos, and that's that | 18:37 |
| Bodsda | Hi, i have dual monitors set up, and i like to have firefox open on screen 2(right) and xchat on screen 1(left) -- is there anyway to make firefox always open on screen 2? | 18:37 |
| Jufis | What should I do now? | 18:37 |
| ookz | Ok anyone know how to fix XChat so I can actually see all the users in the room like MIrc | 18:38 |
| redvamp128 | Jufis: that happens to me sometimes and quick run of this command fixes me up "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" | 18:38 |
| sizzam | ookz: ctrl+f7 ? | 18:38 |
| arvind_khadri | ookz, ask #xchat | 18:38 |
| MidasManchu | hey, does anyone know how to enable subpixel smoothing for window managers outside of gnome/kde/xfce? talk about eyestrain when running Awesome | 18:38 |
| Jufis | redvamp128, thanks, I'll try that | 18:38 |
| redvamp128 | Jufis: though that just restarts the sound server but for me that works when I loose sound | 18:39 |
| sizzam | MidasManchu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config Select “Autohinter”, “Always” and “No” when prompted. | 18:39 |
| sebsebseb | lianimator: and last.fm is cool to use with Banshee :) http://www.last.fm | 18:39 |

| jimcooncat | lhoersten: I don't know, but seems that if you keep it away from /var (or parts of it) you'd be alright | 19:00 |
| almostdvs | quiksilver: what's yoru problem? | 19:00 |
| prince_jammys | jatt: good | 19:00 |
| nukeslion | i'm having some sound issues, i just installed some drivers for a creative x-fi driver, i can get a test sound from gnome's sound setting manager and pidgin makes join/quit sounds, but i cant get any sounds besides those | 19:00 |
| prince_jammys | jatt: see what happens if you temporarily rename the .mozilla directory | 19:01 |
| lhoersten | jimcooncat: yeah it seems you need to split var off to use it with best performance | 19:01 |
| zs_ | fosco_, synaptic is still trying to remove it | 19:01 |
| lhoersten | jimcooncat: you've read the same? | 19:01 |
| ZING | anyone saw the skeleton computer case ? | 19:01 |
| Induane | I don't have a live cd, I upgraded from 8.04 | 19:01 |
| quiksilver | in amarok, im trying to get all the songs copied to one folder | 19:01 |
| Brujah | hy everybody | 19:01 |
| bnex10 | hi vigge_sWe :D | 19:02 |
| Jufis | I can get my music player to play sounds but system sounds still don't work | 19:02 |
| quiksilver | so i can delete the hundreds of songs sitting on my desktop | 19:02 |
| quiksilver | similar to the consolidate library feature of itunes | 19:02 |
| jimcooncat | lhoersten: yes, I'm not remembering everything about it. What's the advantage of using JFS? | 19:02 |
| Quagmire | guys if there is no one able to help me with my issue is there another forum that might be better suited for my question? I really want to get my wireless questions answered ...I have another couple of little things I want to get resolved also. | 19:02 |
| Induane | so it was after the upgrade that it started locking on startup. Card should be fine. | 19:02 |
| GriGGerS | Hi Guys. I have a Tosh Laptop with a Centrino Duo Core 2. Can I use the ubuntu amd 64 version with this CPU? I did try the forums but they appear to be down at this time. | 19:02 |
| Brujah | I have a question about licences that ubuntu accepts for sounds and pictures (I am the author of an open source computer game) | 19:02 |
| Brujah | is creative commons accepted? | 19:02 |
| bnex10 | GriGGerS: I doubt that you can use an AMD version on a Intel processor | 19:03 |
| vigge_sWe1 | so really, I've been waiting for 2 hours now, how do I use TKIP on wpa enterprise? | 19:03 |
| almostdvs | quiksilver: so you want to move a bunch of files to another folder? | 19:03 |
| bnex10 | yeah answer vigge_sWe1's question! | 19:03 |
| lhoersten | jimcooncat: its about as fast as you can get while minimizing CPU usage. stable with it's integrity transactions etc. the only downside is the delayed writing with the transactions as far as I can tell | 19:03 |
| lhoersten | jimcooncat: which seems like it can be remidied by moving the JFS log or the actual /var fs | 19:03 |
| ZING | http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=280313325439 | 19:03 |
| quiksilver | almostdvs: amarok doesnt have its own folder? | 19:04 |
| GriGGerS | bnex10: so i have to just use the 32bit version? | 19:04 |
| Leo_Dragonheart | Induane: Go to the ubuntu forums when they come back up and do a advanced search for posts by Leo Dragonheart and you will find the config steps... | 19:04 |
| bnex10 | vigge_sWe does your card work on ubuntu? | 19:04 |
| almostdvs | quiksilver: i'm a little confused at what either your problem or what you are trying to do? | 19:04 |
| martin_ | hiii | grep | 19:04 |
| bnex10 | GriGGerS: does your processor supports 64 bit? | 19:05 |
| Ienorand | Erroneous path directions in ~/.bashrc, should that go as a bug report? | 19:05 |
| jimcooncat | lhoersten: well, you don't need huge speed for log files. Why not just use it for /home or /var/www (or wherever you NEED the speed)? | 19:05 |
| martin_ | (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi) contact the | 19:05 |
| GriGGerS | bnex10: yes its a centrino core 2 duo, as I understand this is a 64bit cpu | 19:05 |
| vigge_sWe1 | bnex10: shoulod do | 19:05 |
| prince_jammys | Ienorand: what's the error? | 19:05 |
| bnex10 | GriGGerS: it should work | 19:06 |
| lhoersten | jimcooncat: i've had great results with using it for /home but whenever I force powerdown it seems to really jack up my root fs... so i'm looking into it | 19:06 |
| lhoersten | jimcooncat: i think ext3 may be better for root | 19:06 |
| GriGGerS | bnex10: cheers | 19:06 |
| hanasaki | runnign gnome terminal server client... for the vnc protocol password is greyed out.. how do I enable it? | 19:06 |
| bnex10 | vigge_sWe1: can you connect to a network without security, WEP, or regular WPA? | 19:07 |
| MidasManchu | I have another question: in gnome, it's easy to set the resolution via the GUI. How might I do that from a different window manager using the terminal? would that be in xorg.conf? does gnome override that via its own settings? | 19:07 |
| jelly-bean | is there a way i can config my middle mouse wheel button to minimize windows in ubuntu? | 19:07 |
| schmidtm | are there packages for the new nvidia 180.29 driver | 19:07 |
| Ienorand | prince_jammys: it points to extra info/docs in /usr/share/docs/bash/examples or **/bash-doc/*, none of which exists. | 19:07 |
| nukeslion | i just installed open source drivers for creative x-fi and now some things (pidgin, test sound from gnome sound menu, movie player) have sound but others (VLC, about everything else) don't, is there a way to globally set things to use a single audio device? | 19:07 |
| jimcooncat | lhoersten: yes, or reiserfs (but keep your /etc backed up) | 19:07 |
| tul_ | hi all | 19:07 |
| tul_ | any1 knows where is log file of gparted? | 19:07 |
| prince_jammys | Ienorand: hm, i have them here | 19:07 |
| lhoersten | jimcooncat: still haven't convinced myself reiser sounds good. have you looked into xfs? | 19:07 |
| vigge_sWe1 | bnex10: no one in sweden runs a wireless without security | 19:08 |
| vigge_sWe1 | and I have no wireless router at home | 19:08 |
| tul_ | gparted has been "checking and repairing" hd for 2 hours already. | 19:08 |
| bnex10 | vigge_sWe1: what are you trying to do? | 19:08 |
| tul_ | i waana check it out. | 19:08 |
| Khisanth | prince_jammys: you can still run gnome-display-properties | 19:08 |
| Khisanth | prince_jammys: regardless of what wm you are using as long as you still have gnome installed | 19:08 |
| prince_jammys | Ienorand: i think i know why. i installed bash-doc | 19:08 |
| vigge_sWe1 | I was trying to connect to my schools WPA2 Enterprise network with TKIP, but as TKIP isn't supported in ubuntu I can't connect | 19:09 |
| Ienorand | prince_jammys: Okay, then it's probably jaunty-related then... ah? Could anyone else check up on this in ibex? | 19:09 |
| vigge_sWe1 | it just brings the config screen back up | 19:09 |
| jimcooncat | lhoersten: reiserfs is great stuff, use the "notail" option. It's not actively supported now (except by kernel devs) but it works very nice as it is. I've been looking at xfs for my /home and other things as I hear it plays nice with LVM. | 19:09 |
| hanasaki | how do I get tsclient to prompt for a password when hitting a vncserver? rifht now all it does on connect is say bad obfusicated password | 19:09 |
| logan_ | Watching flash video in firefox causes it to freeze, any help? | 19:09 |
| bnex10 | vigge_sWe1: did you look in the wiki docs? https://help.ubuntu.com/community | 19:10 |
| logan_ | I installed yesterday, and selected the adobe nonfree package in SPM | 19:10 |
| lhoersten | jimcooncat: xfs is supposed to be pretty close to jfs for speed and cpu usage | 19:10 |
| prince_jammys | Ienorand: my line is: # see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc) | 19:10 |
| arvind_khadri | logan_, SPM? | 19:10 |
| lhoersten | jimcooncat: i'm wondering if it will have the same downsides as well though | 19:10 |
| lhoersten | jimcooncat: i like jfs because its ultra documented by ibm | 19:10 |
| logan_ | synamptic package manager | 19:10 |
| vigge_sWe1 | Yeh, someone sent me a tutorial for wpa_suppliant for ubuntu 6.10, but I didn't get it | 19:10 |
| vigge_sWe1 | what it said | 19:10 |
| vigge_sWe1 | had aloooot of configuration steps | 19:11 |
| vigge_sWe1 | with info I don't have | 19:11 |
| Ienorand | prince_jammys: Yea, and it also refers to bash-docs folder under aliases section. | 19:11 |
| prince_jammys | Ienorand: (hardy, btw) | 19:11 |
| jimcooncat | lhoersten: what are you doing that taxes your fs so much as to make a big difference? | 19:11 |
| Fire_Chief | vigge_swel: what version of Ubuntu are you running now? | 19:11 |
| bnex10 | vigge_sWe1 what card is it? | 19:11 |
| prince_jammys | Ienorand: but it does mention that it's from the bash-doc package, not bash | 19:11 |
| vigge_sWe1 | Fire_Chief: , 8.10, bnex10, a intel one | 19:12 |
| Coffee | Can someone remind me of the IRC channel for ubuntu-eee (easy peasy)? | 19:12 |
| vigge_sWe1 | 3945 something | 19:12 |
| nukeslion | o.0 volume control keeps dragging my PCM setting to zero, any way to force it to stay at a particular spot? | 19:12 |
| Ricardo777 | It's Done! | 19:12 |
| Induane | Leo_Dragonheart: I believe I have tried thos suggestions to no avail. Built own module from scratch, triend envy, some special xorg stuff... cleaned up...which took ages. Darned nvidia installer throws files around like a lunatic... | 19:12 |
| Ricardo777 | Now to see if it works well. | 19:12 |
| Ienorand | prince_jammys: Ah, true that... so that I shouldn't complain about... | 19:12 |
| Ricardo777 | Bye & thanks. | 19:13 |
| almostdvs | after the ubuntu loading screen is done it takes over ten minutes for the login window to appear. does anyone have any suggestions as to why/how to fix? | 19:13 |
| Ricardo777 | :) | 19:13 |
| Fire_Chief | Vigge_sWel: How far does Ubuntu get if you manually configure the wireless connection through NetworkManager? | 19:13 |
| prince_jammys | Ienorand: install bash-doc instead ;) | 19:13 |
| jimcooncat | Coffee: #easypeasy here on freenode | 19:13 |
| bnex10 | I'll let Fire_Chief help you vigge_sWe | 19:13 |
| Coffee | jimcooncat: thanks | 19:13 |
| vigge_sWe1 | the network config popup pops back up all the time | 19:13 |
| vigge_sWe1 | just | 19:13 |

| Ienorand | prince_jammys: Yea, both references does indeed mention bash-docs, my bad... | 19:14 |
| bnex10 | vigge_sWe1: all you need is more detail than just "how to do TKIP?" | 19:14 |
| vigge_sWe1 | Fire_Chief: yes | 19:14 |
| Ubuntu_Noob | quick question that has nothing to do with ubuntu or linux for that matter | 19:14 |
| vigge_sWe1 | it says I should activate TKIP | 19:14 |
| fevel | then no =P | 19:14 |
| hanasaki | how do I send ^atl del through vnc? need to unlock a windows box | 19:14 |
| Ubuntu_Noob | is it normal for certain irc commands not to work on XChat? | 19:15 |
| Fire_Chief | Vigge: Ok, let's skip that bit for a minute...what other steps does it have? | 19:15 |
| |chiz| | what package do I need to have vnc support with tsclient? | 19:15 |
| fevel | hanasaki: doesnt vnc have a "Send cntl alt del"? | 19:15 |
| bnex10 | hanasaki: look in the menus? | 19:15 |
| Ubuntu_Noob | ? | 19:15 |
| vigge_sWe1 | just to set it as wpa2 enterprise, TKIP, PEAP, put in username and password | 19:15 |
| vigge_sWe1 | that's all it says | 19:15 |
| _VIM_ | Ubuntu_Noob: yes its normal , plus some networks wont allow some commands | 19:15 |
| bnex10 | Ubuntu_Noob: that depends on what network you are on | 19:15 |
| Jockeo | What application do you recommend to easily convert from ogg to avi? | 19:16 |
| ugliefrog | virtualbox | 19:16 |
| magcius | Hm... I tried including a new PulseAudio PPA in my sources, but it's not updating. | 19:16 |
| fosco__ | Jockeo, mencoder | 19:16 |

| Ubuntu_Noob | oh ok so its not a problem that has to do with my installation or a bug | 19:16 |
| Ubuntu_Noob | thanks | 19:16 |
| _VIM_ | np | 19:16 |
| almostdvs | after the ubuntu loading screen is done it takes over ten minutes for the login window to appear. does anyone have any suggestions as to why/how to fix? | 19:16 |
| hanasaki | fevel: bnex10 the only menu is the one in the top left of the window for the gnome/ like move window resize etc.... | 19:16 |
| Jockeo | fosco_: Thanks | 19:17 |
| Fire_Chief | Vigge: Ok, so if you setup the wireless with the SSID, choose WPA Enterprise, and just put in your User/Pass, what happens? | 19:17 |
| bnex10 | hanasaki: what client are you using? | 19:17 |
| hanasaki | VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.1 for X - built Apr 16 2008 13:23:14 | 19:17 |
| vigge_sWe1 | it tries to connect, then I get back to that window, where to put in the network type etc | 19:17 |
| Voltron | !noGUI | 19:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about noGUI | 19:17 |
| jimcooncat | almostdvs: you got to find out what it's up to. someone help him out where to look? | 19:17 |
| Fire_Chief | Vigge: by the way, I'm getting to that setup by right clicking on the NetworkManager icon and choosing Edit connections, then going to the wireless tab. | 19:17 |
| hanasaki | bnex10: is tha tok.. or do you recommend a different one? | 19:18 |
| |chiz| | almostdvs: you probably want to disable the loading screen so you can see what is going on | 19:18 |
| bnex10 | hanasaki: is that the default vnc viewer on ubuntu? | 19:18 |
| vigge_sWe1 | Fire_Chief: yes that setup | 19:18 |
| vigge_sWe1 | but I don't hae TKIP in the list | 19:18 |
| hanasaki | bnex10: not sure... had to run it from the command line tsclent applet wont take a password.. its grayed out | 19:18 |
| Ubuntu_Noob | how do i get my "logout" sound effect (from the preferences/sounds), to actually play before it logs out (not that important, just something i was wonderin about, since it refuses to play when i logout) | 19:18 |
| Fire_Chief | Does the windows setup have you get a certificate from somewhere to put in the client? | 19:18 |
| fool_ | hey guys, does anyone know how to add the gnome main menu into right click on desktop ? | 19:19 |
| bnex10 | hanasaki: greyed out window means it's frozen | 19:19 |
| almostdvs | |chiz|: so i want to load ubuntu, disable loading screen ( i don't know how to do that) restart the computer and see what is hanging up/ | 19:19 |
| Ubuntu_Noob | i just threw that question out there hoping for a catch | 19:19 |
| bnex10 | hanasaki: wait nvm | 19:19 |
| hanasaki | bnex10: ? | 19:19 |
| cherva | I have libopenal0a, libopenal-dev and libopenal1 ,but ultimate stunts says that I don't have openal installed when I try to configure it.... Anyone knowing how to make it work ? | 19:19 |

| hanasaki | bnex10: not that I see... 2nd issue of course is that tsclient apple tdos not take a password .. so I have to run from the cmd line | 19:21 |
| vigge_sWe1 | and yueh, when will the forums be back? | 19:21 |
| Zombie_Gaz | My sound just kicks off every once in a while... anyway to restart sound without a reboot? | 19:21 |
| itachi | fool_, i searched for a good way of doing that a while ago, but then i just went back to openbox :) | 19:21 |
| sobersabre | I understand the permissions are auto-set by udevd. | 19:21 |
| hocine21 | hello | 19:21 |
| bnex10 | hanasaki: well idk, try another client | 19:21 |
| dtchen | Zombie_Gaz: pulseaudio -k ; pulseaudio -D | 19:21 |
| legolasw2 | Hi | 19:21 |
| itachi | hocine21, hi! | 19:21 |
| almostdvs | |chiz|: i'm in windows now, after about 15 min i got frustrated | 19:21 |
| fool_ | itachi, haha, well what was the solution ? | 19:21 |
| hanasaki | bnex10: also tried xtightvncview.. same thing | 19:22 |
| sobersabre | I understand they are supposed to be 660 with ownership root:scanner | 19:22 |
| CheesyWeasel | I just removed something from my panel, but I can't remember what it was. :P Is there a way to undo or something? | 19:22 |
| legolasw2 | can someone please let me know what does 192.168.0.99/24 means? | 19:22 |
| hocine21 | i'm not speack englesh | 19:22 |
| jimcooncat | almostdvs: the command "dmesg" should give you a list of what happened during your last boot | 19:22 |
| hocine21 | i'm french ;) | 19:22 |
| sobersabre | legolasw2: I know. | 19:22 |
| danaman5 | Gnome-Settings-Daemon randomly fails to launch when I log in on Ubuntu, and it crashes when I try to log out. Sometimes gnome-settings-daemon does launch, but there seems to be no pattern to it. Can anyone help? | 19:22 |
| lianimator | how can I configure my wireless connection so I get a manual IP? | 19:22 |
| sobersabre | it means a network block. | 19:22 |
| Voltron | why are the forums down? | 19:22 |
| bnex10 | Voltron: good question | 19:22 |
| itachi | fool_, not sure it was a solution, but i do have a root-menu when right clicking :) | 19:22 |
| jimcooncat | almostdvs: try "dmesg >dmesg.txt and post it to a pastebin so I can have a look | 19:23 |
| Voltron | i want to convert my desktop into a server, but i cant because the forums are down. Windows forums are never down. | 19:23 |
| Zombie_Gaz | dtchen : http://paste.ubuntu.com/118914/ | 19:23 |

| bnex10 | Voltron: you can ask here | 19:23 |
| fool_ | legolasw2, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing | 19:23 |
| almostdvs | jmooncat: i'm in windows, i got too frustrated | 19:23 |
| bnex10 | irc are never down | 19:23 |
| fool_ | itachi, ok, show me how ? | 19:24 |
| |chiz| | almostdvs: well you can edit the grub entries on the grub boot menu, you just hit the e button. You would want to get rid of the quiet and spash options from the kernel boot line | 19:24 |
| Voltron | how can i convert my ubuntu desktop into ubuntu server? | 19:24 |
| january | Hello all. | 19:24 |
| Voltron | i really just need a list of all the GUI dependent applications | 19:24 |
| |chiz| | almostdvs: I think that should do it for you | 19:24 |
| Voltron | so i can remove them | 19:24 |
| mib_etsc5vue | Hello. I have a problem. I was formatting my laptop computer. During Windows format, my computer is shot down due to low battery :s Then I tried to continue installing windows, but it sait a .dll file was missing. Then I decided to install ubuntu. But it didn't install neither. It freezes after "Kernel panic -not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" error. Now I run my computer live. It doesn't see any harddisk drives. W | 19:25 |
| CheesyWeasel | Ok, so I figured out that I removed the thing that tells me what my wireless internet strength was. But it's not in the "Add to Panel" options... | 19:25 |
| bnex10 | Voltron: ubuntu-desktop is the package you want to remove if you want to convert a desktop to a command line only server | 19:25 |
| jimcooncat | Voltron: if you remove the GUI, then apt will remove the dependencies. I don't remember which package to do. But you won't end up with the server kernel that way, of course | 19:25 |
| bnex10 | the package name is something like that | 19:25 |
| Slart | !info ubuntu-desktop | 19:25 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-desktop (source: ubuntu-meta): The Ubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.124 (intrepid), package size 26 kB, installed size 52 kB | 19:25 |
| Voltron | hmmm, i guess i can just keep it the way it is... | 19:25 |
| Voltron | it doesnt run GNOME as of now anyway | 19:26 |
| Zombie_Gaz | Hey all... trying to get sound to work. Every once in a while (every 2 days or so) my sound goes away. How can I restart this without a reboot? | 19:26 |
| Voltron | all it does is boot up to the command line and I can ssh into it | 19:26 |
| Induane | Zombie_Gaz: might be the pulseaudio server | 19:26 |
| bnex10 | Voltron: that's fine | 19:26 |
| Zombie_Gaz | Yes. | 19:26 |
| Induane | try sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart | 19:26 |
| CheesyWeasel | There is a bunch of stuff I want in my panel, that used to be there, but they're not in the "Add to Panel" menu. | 19:27 |
| bnex10 | Voltron: but make sure X does not start automatically at bootup | 19:27 |
| _VIM_ | I hope the devs remove pulseaudio in Jaunty | 19:27 |
| _VIM_ | or fix it | 19:27 |
| Induane | I am hoping for fix | 19:27 |
| Induane | crashes for me a lot too | 19:27 |
| Induane | just randomly | 19:27 |
| Induane | cept one desktop | 19:27 |
| hwilde | i have nvidia with two separate xscreens using two monitors. both monitors dim and go to sleep if activity is only on the second workspace. is there a way to fix this so it recognizes mouse and keyboard activity in the second x screen and doesn't sleep mode? | 19:27 |
| _VIM_ | yeah fix would be better than removing it | 19:27 |
| Induane | seems happy with my audigy2 | 19:27 |
| Slart | CheesyWeasel: if you're talking about the network manager it is not a gnome panel applet | 19:27 |
| Zombie_Gaz | Induane Nope. ;) | 19:28 |
| CheesyWeasel | Slart: Well how do I get it back on the panel. It used to be there. | 19:28 |

| Slart | CheesyWeasel: it used to be in the notification area.. just like the pidgin icon or skype or similar programs | 19:29 |
| Induane | or if its locked up( ps aux | grep pulseaudio shows that its still running) then sudo killall -9 pulseaudio | 19:29 |
| Slart | CheesyWeasel: either you removed the notification area or the network manager isn't running | 19:29 |

| CheesyWeasel | Slart: That's probably what I did. How do I get the notification area back? | 19:29 |

| Slart | zimbres: have you tried? | 20:00 |
| Ricardo777 | Ok I'm ready if there be no other suggestion...? | 20:00 |
| Scunizi | _b_r_a_d_: ~/.mozilla... ~ means your home directory so /home/<username>/.mozilla | 20:00 |
| jp_sf | dremits: for Tomcat start automatically you have to run the startup.sh in /usr/local/tomcat/bin | 20:00 |

| _b_r_a_d_ | okay | 20:00 |

| Scunizi | ShoesLife: sounds like you have to play around with it a little.. sorry I don't have a solid answer for you. | 20:01 |

| Jockeo | I run Gutsy Gibbon. I've added a new repository to install an application (winff). When trying to install in Synaptic I get "Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>=2.14.1) but 2.12.0-1ubuntu3 is to be installed". It seems like I cannot get a newer version of libgtk2.0 since I run Gutsy. Do I have to upgrade to Intrepid to fix this? | 20:03 |
| Scunizi | t-nor: and it's not a single directory a package goes into most of the time. | 20:03 |

| _b_r_a_d_ | I may have spoken too soon. After renaming .mozilla to .mozilla.backup google.com and yahoo.com came up right away, even got signed into my yahoo mail account, but as soon as I click on inbox, it starts timing out again. Just so you know, when this was a windows box, it had to use virtual IRQ ports because of too many usb ports on the box, don't know if that has anything to do with the problems I'm having with the connectivity rught now | 20:09 |

| Zerocool947 | How do I take extra choices off of the boot menu when I start my laptop? | 20:13 |
| SiDi | burkmat, it should be in /etc/rc3.d or rc6.d | 20:13 |
| SiDi | Princess_Ludwig, no problem ;) | 20:13 |
| blizzle | Zerocool947, sudo aptitude install startupmanager | 20:13 |
| Princess_Ludwig | ^^ | 20:13 |
| squarebracket | tul_, it is not in the trash bin. | 20:13 |
| tul_ | squarebracket: ok have you searched it? | 20:14 |
| squarebracket | tul_, no. should i search through my linux partition or my windows? | 20:14 |
| Zerocool947 | blizzle, Isn't there a way to do it by just changing the text in a file? | 20:14 |
| tul_ | start with the linux one. | 20:14 |
| blizzle | Zerocool947, Do yourself a favour. Use startupmanager. | 20:15 |
| SiDi | Zerocool947, you mean all the lines on grub ? They're written in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:15 |
| blizzle | Zerocool947, You'll find startupmanager provides other compelling features. | 20:15 |
| SiDi | Zerocool947, though it's better to keep the lines, if one day you have a problem with the latest kernel, you can still boot on an old one listed in the menu | 20:16 |
| geirha | Zerocool947: the best way is to uninstall the kernel-packages you don't need though. Uninstalling a kernel removes it from the list | 20:16 |
| _b_r_a_d_ | also, tried renaming .mozilla to .mozilla.backup[1] again, this time it did not work right away, I have no idea how to narrow down where the problem is | 20:16 |

| burkmat | illbeatu, How did you install it? | 20:20 |
| Oxygenfad | hahaha awesome thanks man :D | 20:20 |
| SiDi | _b_r_a_d_, opera is proprietary, it's not in the repository. Try "midori" | 20:20 |
| illbeatu | i first tried from the adobe site, then i tried from package manager | 20:21 |
| illbeatu | none of them work. | 20:21 |
| squarebracket | my pleasure =] | 20:21 |

| kb3ien | any ideas? | 20:21 |
| illbeatu | great. now I have a Failed to check for installed and available applications error | 20:22 |
| illbeatu | i wish open source wasn't so much marketing. and more stable software. | 20:22 |
| burkmat | illbeatu, "The flash player package"? Nonfree? or from the adobe repos? | 20:23 |
| kb3ien | nevermind, authz host was installed by apache2 package (really apache2.2) | 20:23 |
| _b_r_a_d_ | oh, one other thing I noticed is that while most apps can use my network connection, wine-doors fails to detect network settings, it's almost as if some apps can see it, some can't, and some are randomly seeing it | 20:23 |
| illbeatu | i tried both burkmat | 20:23 |
| illbeatu | the one that is "offical ubuntu" | 20:23 |

| SiDi | DIFH-iceroot, i suppose you can modify your .xinitrc file then. (or something similar). Try to launch gdmflexiserver, change session, go back to your session and reboot, too ? | 20:33 |
| hoonteke | or amarok | 20:33 |
| hoonteke | In this case, I think it's gnome movie player for one-off files | 20:34 |
| hoonteke | or amarok for actual playlists | 20:34 |
| hoonteke | plus, I'm a DB guy | 20:34 |
| hoonteke | and amarok plays well with my favorite DB, Postgres | 20:34 |
| hoonteke | good luck, Elive_user18 | 20:34 |
| Elive_user18 | thanks noonteke... i need to figure out what is blocking my soundcard | 20:35 |
| Elive_user18 | :( | 20:35 |
| Elive_user18 | s/noonteke/hoonteke | 20:35 |
| deany | Elive_user18, I use xmms fine, using ALSA | 20:35 |
| hoonteke | Elive_user18: try lsof | 20:35 |
| hoonteke | lsof = list open files | 20:36 |
| fabio | <Elive_user18> : i use audacious instead with alsa | 20:36 |
| deany | have also used a pulseaudio plugin ok to | 20:36 |
| powergoal | is there a repository that includes gnump3d on ubuntu? currently using kubuntu 8.10 with kde4.2 | 20:36 |
| osed | i'm tryin to play an mp3 file in ubuntu with rhythm box and it's playin it but i dont hear any audio. my volume is turned up though. any ideas? | 20:36 |
| hoonteke | and since *nix is file based, it represents the the sound card as such another file, in the /dev folder | 20:36 |
| hoonteke | Elive_user18: lsof | grep snd or lsof | less and page through .... | 20:36 |
| hoonteke | to quit less, hit the 'q' button | 20:36 |
| hoonteke | spacebar pages through | 20:37 |
| hoonteke | ... | 20:37 |
| B10S | none of them work on ubuntu 8.10? http://www.shoutcast.com/download-files | 20:37 |
| Elive_user18 | [root ~]# lsof /dev/audio | 20:37 |
| Elive_user18 | lsof: status error on /dev/audio: No such file or directory | 20:37 |
| Elive_user18 | lsof 4.78 | 20:37 |
| SiDi | osed, you need to install ubuntu-restricted-packages to get mp3 to play (its not installed by default because mp3 is proprietary) | 20:38 |
| osed | sidi that would explain it thanks | 20:38 |
| ratinacage78 | please help!!!! i'm stuck in 800x600 resolution after install. | 20:38 |
| fabio | maybe this one: gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 | 20:38 |
| SiDi | osed, sec, the name is wrong. Let me find it back | 20:38 |
| templaedhel | okay so I'm backing up my system, and I have like 50 wep keys stored, and I want to put em on my external hd. how do I do that | 20:39 |
| hoonteke | ratinacage78: X problems are no fun. The most I have time for is to suggest removing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, restart gdm (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart), and see what happens | 20:39 |
| SiDi | osed, "ubuntu-restricted-extras" | 20:39 |
| hoonteke | ratinacage78: other than that, look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log, or something to see if anything makes itself known to you. | 20:40 |
| hoonteke | good luck | 20:40 |
| fabio | <templaedhel>: use Mondo | 20:40 |
| templaedhel | mondo? | 20:40 |
| fabio | mondo is a bacup suite | 20:41 |
| fabio | backup* | 20:41 |
| ratinacage78 | hoonteke - honeslty i'm a total newb. that doesn't mean much to me. | 20:41 |
| deany | talkin of shoutcast. I have musicindex module on another computer hosting my music which i stream where-ever, with a nice easy interface.. set playlists too: | 20:41 |
| ratinacage78 | i'm ready to give up on linux at the end of my first day. | 20:41 |
| methods | 3d games turn all squigilly messed up lines when using fglrx | 20:41 |
| fabio | never give up | 20:41 |
| ratinacage78 | i'm going to give up. 800x600 resolution SUCKS. | 20:42 |
| deany | ratinacage78, tried installing restricted video drivers? | 20:42 |
| templaedhel | I just want to know what file/folder I need to put my stored wep keys on my external hd | 20:42 |
| hoonteke | ratinacage78: let's talk here instead, please | 20:42 |
| hoonteke | what that means is that you have to open up a terminal | 20:42 |
| vexue | i got this stupid problem with my wireless mouse it scolls way to fast when useing ! can anyone help with this problem it seem like there should be an easy fix | 20:42 |
| hoonteke | ratinacage78: Applications->Accessories->Terminal | 20:43 |
| hoonteke | a white screen should pop | 20:43 |
| vexue | it didnt start out that way about a month of use it just started to do it | 20:43 |
| vexue | ?? | 20:43 |
| hoonteke | this is canonically know as the "commandline" | 20:43 |
| templaedhel | vexue: settings>mouse> sensitivity | 20:43 |
| hoonteke | if someone says something that starts with a dollar sign ($) they're generally referring to the commandline | 20:43 |
| mib_dbln7d | hi, how can i install php, and mysql on ubuntu 8.10? | 20:44 |
| sadaiyappan | Hi how can i get xchat to minmize to tray? | 20:44 |
| Elive_user18 | mib_dbln7d, apt-get install php | 20:44 |
| hoonteke | '$ lspci' translates to you typing 'lspci' after the '$' sign | 20:44 |
| Elive_user18 | mib_dbln7d, apt-get install mysql | 20:44 |
| vexue | i went to system mouse but that didnt work! | 20:45 |
| hoonteke | ratinacage78: okay, from what you just pasted, you're looking for the chipset, the VGA | 20:45 |
| ratinacage78 | sorry hoonteke. | 20:45 |
| mib_dbln7d | i don't have nternet on the target pc. i need the .deb file | 20:45 |
| hoonteke | VGA stands for Video Graphics Adaptor, but you don't need to know that. VGA = video | 20:45 |
| mib_dbln7d | to download | 20:45 |
| ratinacage78 | got it. the intel blah blah blah. | 20:45 |
| mib_dbln7d | lol | 20:45 |
| jelly-bean | how do i start/stop services from shell ? | 20:45 |
| templaedhel | no one knows how to back up wep keys??? | 20:45 |
| jelly-bean | i'm used to fedora: service httpd restart | 20:45 |
| deany | or, sudo apt-get install tasksel install lamp-server | 20:45 |
| hoonteke | ratinacage78: like I said earlier, getting X to work if it doesn't work, is ... to put it mildly, a bitch. It's come a LONG way since 2, 3, 4, and 5+ years ago, but it's still at it either works, or you'd better be ready to tinker | 20:46 |
| mib_dbln7d | anyone know where to get the .deb download of php? | 20:46 |
| deany | er I mean: , sudo apt-get tasksel install lamp-server | 20:46 |
| Kl4m | /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 20:46 |
| deany | thats how i set up mine | 20:46 |
| nightrid3r | mib_dbln7d youre installing a server with no net connection ???? | 20:46 |
| hoonteke | ratinacage78: the best I can offer is to start googling with "X doesn't work ubuntu" or "X small resolution intel <chipset number>" | 20:46 |
| Slart | jelly-bean: there are several ways. I write "sudo /etc/init.d/<program name> start|stop|status to do stuff | 20:47 |
| Slart | jelly-bean: so "sudo /etc/init.d/apache stop" to stop apache | 20:47 |
| nightrid3r | mib_dbln7d try apt on cd | 20:47 |
| _b_r_a_d_ | Weird, I have just had to force restart my computer twice now and each time, to get the mouse to work, I have to unplug it, then plug it back in. | 20:47 |
| ratinacage78 | ok...i'm giving up. this sucks. | 20:47 |

| Elive_user18 | Ienorand, you can do alias command='sudo command' | 20:49 |
| Kl4m | ratinacage78: if it's not installed, install and restart | 20:49 |
| nightrid3r | ratinacage78 search for 800X600 in wiki.ubuntu.com ant take the mode en mon,itor lines | 20:49 |

| B10S | ubuntu forums is using an earlier version of apache than me. NA NA NA NAAAA NA http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82355 | 20:49 |
| B10S | lol | 20:49 |
| Ienorand | Elive_user18: ah, why didn't I think of that... | 20:49 |
| jelly-bean | how can i fully remove the lamp installation that came with ubuntu? i tried sudo apt-get remove php5 apache2 mysql-server but apache is still running | 20:49 |
| dkulchenko | #dualboot | 20:50 |
| jelly-bean | Kl4m: thnx for the service cmd | 20:50 |
| SiDi | _b_r_a_d_, i really don't know what could help you on that, sorry :/* | 20:50 |
| hoonteke | ratinacage78: what you're experience currently, is roughly "lack of driver compatibility" | 20:50 |
| Daft_Punk | since upgrading from hardy to intrepid, i cant get sound in firefox for sites like youtube | 20:50 |
| d1gital | how do i get mysql to listen on a port instead of a socket/ | 20:50 |
| january1 | um... is there a way of hiding certain messages in pidgin? (like, whoever left the room?) | 20:50 |
| hoonteke | ratinacage78: I'm sorry, it's overwhelming, but perhaps another computer with a different chipset will give you more luck | 20:50 |
| danbhfive | january1: look in plugins | 20:50 |
| hoonteke | january1: yeah ... it's a plugin called hide join/part, I think | 20:51 |
| january1 | thanks. | 20:51 |
| ratinacage78 | too bad. this is what i have. i'm disconnecting my hard drive and dropping it out the window. | 20:51 |
| january1 | how do i install plugins? where can I find them? | 20:51 |
| hoonteke | ratinacage78: no no, | 20:52 |
| hoonteke | see the hdd isn't the problem | 20:52 |
| hoonteke | it works grat! | 20:52 |
| january1 | ah, i see | 20:52 |
| hoonteke | its' the chipset on the mobo (motherboard) | 20:52 |
| ratinacage78 | yes yes. no other option. i'm not working in 800x600. | 20:52 |
| Ricardo777 | Back. | 20:52 |
| Ricardo777 | Didn't work :( . | 20:52 |

| ratinacage78 | if noone can fix it i'm dropping it. | 20:52 |
| dkulchenko | I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid with a dual-boot setup between that and Edubuntu 8.10. My desired setup is a quad-boot between Ubuntu,Edubuntu,Ubuntu 64-bit, and Ubuntu Studio. I've decided to do this with LVM because of problems I've been having with regular partitioning. What is the best option for me to go from my current scheme to LVM without losing data? | 20:52 |
| deany | ratinacage78, what version of ubuntu ? | 20:53 |
| Ricardo777 | Didn't get pass the main screen. | 20:53 |
| cpk1 | ratinacage78: i take it you already tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 20:53 |
| Ricardo777 | I couldn't even check for defects. | 20:53 |
| hoonteke | ratinacage78: you know, what I often finds make stuff like this easier, do you have a linux savvy friend? The human contact makes computers much less ... drawl | 20:53 |
| ratinacage78 | deany - 8.10 | 20:53 |
| Ricardo777 | At least the cd before this last one worked a little better. | 20:54 |
| Daft_Punk | since upgrading from hardy to intrepid, i cant get sound in firefox for sites like youtube | 20:54 |
| Smee | is the file /etc/shells a list of installed shells, or a list of acceptable shells? | 20:54 |
| Ricardo777 | I guess I should just buy a cd already made. | 20:54 |
| deany | any drivers in the hardware drivers? | 20:55 |
| danbhfive | Daft_Punk: try playing with gstreamer-properties | 20:55 |
| cpk1 | ratinacage78: don't use pm, it makes it harder for other people to help you | 20:55 |
| blackjak_ | thank you for your help guys | 20:55 |
| deany | you might have to update the system before they appear.. just something to try.. | 20:55 |
| blackjak_ | see u | 20:55 |
| blackjak_ | bye | 20:55 |
| ratinacage78 | i have already updated... | 20:55 |
| deany | and nothing in system/admin/hardware drivers? | 20:56 |
| ratinacage78 | and the only driver it lists in hardware drivers is my atheros card, which works fine. | 20:56 |
| deany | oh ok | 20:56 |
| deany | there is usually always a solution.... just have to look for it a bit harder | 20:56 |
| Ricardo777 | Well, bye thanks for the help. | 20:57 |

| onyxique | :syntax on | 20:58 |
| osed | jelly-bean i cahnged it to Super-L but it didnt work | 20:58 |
| itachi | you can edit your .vimrc to always set syntax on | 20:58 |
| davexoxide | hi everyone | 20:59 |
| cpk1 | ratinacage78: is it integrated intel? | 20:59 |
| jelly-bean | osed: i think super in linux is ctrl+esc | 20:59 |
| ArcSighter | danbhfive: actually, I was looking for the way to do something like sudo aptitude -t jaunty install kde4 | 20:59 |
| jelly-bean | itachi: thnx | 20:59 |
| Daft_Punk | since upgrading from hardy to intrepid, i cant get sound in firefox for sites like youtube | 20:59 |
| hoonteke | ArcSighter: yeah, I would suggest installing KDE4 until Jaunty | 20:59 |
| davexoxide | is this a good place to ask questions about cron for ubuntu 8.10? | 20:59 |
| templaedhel | Where does ubuntu store wep keys?? | 20:59 |
| hoonteke | I tried, even with Intrepid, and it had lots of annoying bugs here and there | 20:59 |
| gigi_ | salve | 21:00 |
| hoonteke | but, they promise that jaunty will be better so ... | 21:00 |
| gigi_ | hello | 21:00 |
| osed | jelly-bean: looks like you're right. ctrl+esc+l worked | 21:00 |
| SiDi | Daft_Punk, completely uninstall flash/gnash, and install "flashplugin-nonfree", it'll install Flash 10 that is *meant* to work well with Pulseaudio | 21:00 |
| itachi | gigi_ hi! | 21:00 |
| osed | but i've gotten windows key to act as <Super> in other things like Gnome-do | 21:00 |
| osed | so i dont know whats up | 21:00 |
| gigi_ | hi | 21:00 |
| ArcSighter | hoonteke: so, I'll beta test it ;) just say me how | 21:00 |
| gigi_ | I'm italian | 21:00 |
| ArcSighter | I'm actually downloading source | 21:00 |
| ArcSighter | from mirros | 21:00 |
| ArcSighter | mirrors | 21:00 |
| hoonteke | templaedhel: I don't know where on the file system, but you can access it through System->Preferences->Encryption & Keys | 21:00 |
| gigi_ | oo | 21:00 |
| jp_sf | gigi_, you can join #ubuntu-it if you want speak italian | 21:01 |
| jj_galvez | does anyone know how / where to get the gkt-smooth-engine? it looks like it was dropped from the gtk2-engines package in Intrepid, (its present in Hardy's) | 21:01 |
| ArcSighter | hoonteke: what I should add to my sources.list.d | 21:01 |
| ratinacage78 | cpk1 - what do you mean integrated? | 21:01 |
| Daft_Punk | SiDi, flashplugin-nonfree is all that is installed right now actually according to synaptic | 21:01 |
| jp_sf | !it | gigi_ | 21:01 |
| hoonteke | ArcSighter: I dunno. I tend to just upgrade every six months | 21:01 |
| danbhfive | ArcSighter: well, jaunty is being offered as the best way. That's where Canonical/etc will do all their testing... Other than that, I dunno | 21:01 |

| scribawf | can I install ubuntu over kubuntu? | 21:01 |
| hoonteke | to back them up? | 21:01 |
| cpk1 | ratinacage78: is your video card an integrated intel card? | 21:01 |
| hoonteke | scribawf | 21:02 |
| korny | hii, where did the package kcontrol in ubuntu 8.10 go? | 21:02 |
| hoonteke | yes: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 21:02 |
| ratinacage78 | cpk1 - i guess so. i don't know what integrated means. haHA. | 21:02 |
| scribawf | OK tnx much hoonteke | 21:02 |
| hoonteke | scribawf: ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that will pull in all the rest | 21:02 |
| enock | e ae galera, sou novato aqui | 21:02 |

| BiosElement | Can anyone recommend a good Desktop Twitter app? | 21:02 |
| _b_r_a_d_ | is there a linux equivalent of scandisk to check the hard disk for errors and correct them? | 21:03 |
| SiDi | Daft_Punk, the one in hardy wasn't supporting Pulse properly, did you ever try to reinstall it since you upgraded on intrepid ? I had similar trouble | 21:03 |
| dayo | How do i get .3g2 video file to play? it's worked previously. but now that i've reinstalled, i guess i'm missing something | 21:03 |
| ArcSighter | someone here knows how to make this truly work: sudo aptitude -t [intrepid|jaunty] install [package] | 21:03 |
| Smee | why doesn't linux need defragging? | 21:03 |
| dayo | _b_r_a_d_: fsck | 21:03 |
| jasballz | hello? | 21:03 |
| _b_r_a_d_ | thanks dayo | 21:03 |
| jasballz | hey, does anyone know where I can download iatkos? | 21:03 |
| itachi | jasballz, hi! | 21:04 |
| jasballz | what irc channel, its a mac os mod. | 21:04 |
| dayo | _b_r_a_d_: u're welcome | 21:04 |
| jasballz | what's up? | 21:04 |
| jasballz | I tried irc.atlantis-net.irc | 21:04 |
| jasballz | no good | 21:04 |
| jasballz | I love ubuntu but Im trying to download iatkos | 21:04 |
| joaopinto | _b_r_a_d_, if you want a surface scan, you want badblocks | 21:04 |
| korny | _b_r_a_d_: do you want to check the hardware or the filesystem? | 21:04 |
| dkulchenko | ubotu: lvm | 21:04 |
| dayo | !lvm | dkulchenko | 21:05 |
| ubottu | dkulchenko: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO | 21:05 |
| ArcSighter | anyone? what to edit to make this work, e.g. sudo aptitude -t intrepid install pidgin | 21:05 |
| _b_r_a_d_ | I wouldn't mind checking both | 21:05 |
| jasballz | anyone know? | 21:05 |
| deany | _b_r_a_d_, if you really want, you can sudo touch /forcefsck from terminal and reboot | 21:05 |
| dkulchenko | thanks dayo | 21:05 |
| hoonteke | man, is it just me, is ubuntuforums.org having problems ... ? | 21:05 |
| jasballz | I'm trying to download iatkos, mac os leopard for a triple boot | 21:05 |
| dkulchenko | hoonteke: it's not just you | 21:05 |
| glitsj16 | Smee: that depends on the filesystem you use in linux, as a general remark it doesn't really compute ... xfs for example has on the fly defragmentation | 21:05 |
| _b_r_a_d_ | can I use badblocks from a mounted file system? | 21:05 |
| jasballz | whats the channel? anybody run macos iatkos or kaly | 21:05 |
| hoonteke | k | 21:05 |
| Daft_Punk | SiDi, thanks you brilliant SOB i had to REINSTALL it to get the latest 10.x version | 21:05 |
| joaopinto | _b_r_a_d_, for scanning you can, to mardk the bad blocks, no | 21:05 |
| === Try_Hard_Go_Pro is now known as merl1n | ||
| joaopinto | mark | 21:05 |
| deany | _b_r_a_d_, it will automatically check every 20-30 approx mounts or 180days, whichever is first.. but if there is a problem with it it`ll be set to "dirty" anyhow and be checked | 21:05 |
| hoonteke | just making sure, as I was doing some dns stuffs ... thanks dkulchenko | 21:05 |
| korny | _b_r_a_d_: for a hardwarecheck i recommend the tools of your harddiskmanufactor and maybe badblocks (make a backup first!) | 21:06 |
| dkulchenko | jasballz: you are on the freenode network, which is a network for free software, something iatkos is not | 21:06 |
| templaedhel | Okay how about this? Does anyone know how to back up keyrings?? | 21:06 |
| dkulchenko | jasballz: try another network | 21:06 |

| merl1n | SiDi : i suppose it is the latest | 21:13 |
| mib_dbln7d | hello? | 21:13 |
| SiDi | merl1n, go to "drivers of peripherals", the version is written. What graphic card do you have ? An old nvidia, right ? (or an old intel ? ) | 21:13 |
| mib_dbln7d | can i still write onto it if there is still space? | 21:13 |

| SiDi | merl1n, i'm trying to find back a bug entry i saw about it, give me a minute | 21:16 |
| jj_galvez | mib_dbln7d: a multisession is one where the cd is left open so that more can be added to it, otherwise its "closed" and you can no not add files to it | 21:16 |
| merl1n | ok | 21:17 |
| SiDi | merl1n, those drivers havea bug with font antialiasing functions, i'm trying to find out how to disable it in wine. | 21:17 |

| int256 | itachi: ok | 21:48 |
| SiDi | int256, transmission is a very very complete one. but i'm currently developing a command line torrent client if you want. The prob is that i only got the bencoding lib so far.. :P | 21:48 |
| Ivanlul | In the ATI catalyst control center I don't seem to get all the options, any idea on how to fix that? I don't want to put it in this way but, compared to the windows version of catalyst control center, I seem to get less options in the linux version. | 21:48 |

| kukuchopra | i can use only 1? | 21:49 |
| kukuchopra | how about dual boot | 21:49 |
| Slart | blue-printf: top or htop will list memory.. I think ps will do that too if you ask it nicely | 21:49 |
| Auszen | I have a question. Should I use a symbolic link when I change my /home or should I mount the new drive as /home ? | 21:49 |

| pianoboy3333 | What does the hard drive cache do? And what special things should I look for when buying a new hard drive? | 22:14 |
| Gaming4JC | ahem... more properly stated, DOES FSCK + CHCKDSK on boot = BAD Hard Drive .... | 22:14 |
| Gaming4JC | ??? | 22:15 |
| titan_ark_ | Slart: yes that did work!!! | 22:15 |
| Slart | Gaming4JC: nope.. I think ubuntu checks the hd every... 25:th boot or something | 22:15 |
| Slart | titan_ark_: of course it did ;) | 22:15 |
| Mick | Folks, I've got a problem with installing a second OS. I've added the contents of fdisk here ... http://pastebin.com/f3e37c765 | 22:16 |
| Mick | Can anyone help me out of a hole please | 22:16 |
| Gaming4JC | Slart: So fsck on boot saying inodes all messed up is normal? o_O | 22:16 |
| Slart | titan_ark_: now, say you wanted to schedule a shutdown... do "sudo crontab -e" since we have to be root to shut the computer down... then just add the command poweroff, reboot or shutdown.. man shutdown for more info on switches and options | 22:16 |
| ilaiho | are there still pulseaudio problems on lts? | 22:16 |
| Slart | Gaming4JC: nope.. that's not normal.. but you didn't mention that =) | 22:16 |
| Mech0z | any way to use a usb drive instead of a floppy disk for updating bios? (getting into dos and running the file from the drive) | 22:17 |
| Gaming4JC | Slart: I mentioned it earlier ^^ What's interesting is the drives smart data reports no errors, and after an intense scan No bad sectors | 22:17 |
| Slart | Gaming4JC: but it will check the hd every N boots.. regardless of the status of the hd.. if it finds lots of errors you might want to check smart-info.. | 22:17 |
| binarymutant | Mech0z, how do you update the bios? I thought to update it you have to flash it | 22:18 |
| Gaming4JC | Slart: Let me pastebin you a log of the Smart Data. Maybe I'm missing something... the drive is less than 6 months old. | 22:18 |
| Slart | Gaming4JC: sure | 22:18 |
| Mech0z | well thats what I want to do, but I still need to make something that can make me boot into dos | 22:18 |
| Mech0z | and I do not have a floppy drive and dont want to waste a dvd on it | 22:18 |
| binarymutant | Mech0z, sorry I don't understand | 22:19 |
| Mech0z | I want to put the bios file on a flash drive and run that from dos on my ubuntu system | 22:19 |
| Mech0z | but I dont know how to make the flash drive boot me into dos | 22:19 |
| Mick | When I'm installing a second OS on a second HDD how do I know what I need to enter in grub? I've got the following disks http://pastebin.com/f3e37c765 but I'm completely oblivious as to what I should enter in grub. Do I need to know the UUID of the disks or what? My menu.lst looks like this ... http://pastebin.com/f7effa9e4 | 22:20 |
| titan_ark_ | Slart okay it did work for a set time also! :P my bad i was running it in root! so that was the problem? | 22:20 |
| Slart | titan_ark_: sounds likely | 22:20 |
| Gaming4JC | Mech0z: Enter your CMOS (usually Delete Key, F8, or some other command depending on MB) and then see if you can change the boot options to your USB drive. | 22:21 |
| Gaming4JC | Mech0z: Make sure the USB drive is inserted when you enter CMOS, it should then be listed under boot priority or something like it. | 22:21 |
| titan_ark_ | Slart: okay. now to shut it down, just * * * * * pkill transmission or do i need to give the path? | 22:21 |
| Slart | titan_ark_: nope.. pkill kills any process with a certain name.. the process is called "transmission" I think... so we just do "pkill transmission" | 22:22 |
| titan_ark_ | Slart: okay i will try that. and how about turning of the box? | 22:23 |
| * Gaming4JC is still trying to get a new hdd smart log... | 22:23 | |
| Slart | titan_ark_: then you'll have to open the crontab for root.. "sudo crontab -e" will work nicely... the command is called either "poweroff" or "shutdown -h now" | 22:24 |
| titan_ark_ | Slart: this is an example i found online: "0 20 * * * /sbin/shutdown -h now" | 22:24 |
| Slart | titan_ark_: that looks good | 22:24 |
| titan_ark_ | Slart, okay :) | 22:24 |
| iaindalton | Why does install-info's manual say --maxwidth is deprecated? It doesn't give an alternative and doesn't mention a config file. | 22:25 |
| Gaming4JC | btw if I can leave a message to the Ubuntu devs. | 22:26 |
| titan_ark_ | Slart: I dunno if you have got a stupid Question like this before. Would you be able to suggest any literature I could read up to learn linux commands. I am a n00b just installed linux about 4-5 days back :P | 22:26 |

| Geek`N`Proud | magcius, there is a way to force removal | 22:37 |
| Geek`N`Proud | -f I think | 22:37 |

| Gaming4JC | Slart: lol... | 23:05 |
| CrocoJet | someone here use apport? | 23:06 |
| Myrtti | mads: *if* you had done it the way it's supposed to, you could have uninstalled it either with GUI or a single command line option, "sudo aptitude remove hellanzb"... but now... let me look | 23:06 |
| clearzen | where can I look for info on manually editing/creating a xorg.conf file? | 23:06 |
| noiz | Zeke -> So the trick is going to be to get it working again. What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 23:06 |
| _dbd_l12 | zeke: could you paste the output of dmesg into http://paste.pocoo.org (the last 20 lines after you've inserted the stick will probably do) | 23:06 |
| zeke | 8.10 | 23:06 |
| CrocoJet | where I can find information generate from apport? | 23:06 |
| Slart | Gaming4JC: if smart thinks the drive is ok I would start searching for other reasons.. but I can't really think of anything that would trash the hard drive like that | 23:06 |
| Myrtti | mads: that doesn't tell where it's actually installed to | 23:06 |
| qcjn | Slart: from my phone i can't see the computer, but can see the phone from the computer ? so the phone ask me to accept connection, then a password, and it failes even before i write the whole password | 23:07 |
| mads | can I search it somehow? | 23:07 |
| Slart | titan_ark_: hmm, perhaps the process isn't called transmission.. take a look in top or htop and see what it is called | 23:07 |
| clearzen | !xorg | 23:07 |

| glitsj16 | clearzen: man xorg.conf | 23:07 |
| noiz | Zeke -> Ah yes. dmesg. I forgot about that one. Dmesg will give you an address you can use to manually mount the usb stick. | 23:07 |
| clearzen | glitsj16: RTFM I know | 23:07 |
| _dbd_l12 | clearzen: it's in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Be sure to make a backup before editing. | 23:07 |
| zeke | crap i have to leave, i'll be back later though, sorry guys and gals | 23:07 |
| titan_ark_ | Slart: just checked it is "transmission" | 23:08 |
| Slart | qcjn: hmm.. that sounds odd.. it might be some problem with your bluetooth reciever.. or a bug ... hard to tell | 23:08 |
| mads | Myrtti, cant I jsut use the apt-get and hope it overwrites it? :p | 23:08 |
| _VIM_ | If people wanted to "RTFM" or google all day long they'd not be in here asking for help :) | 23:08 |

| _VIM_ | !root | 23:10 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:10 |
| titan_ark_ | Slart: when i try pkill transmission after that it just starts behaving wierd, it continues to run and the download is happening but the total data remains the same | 23:10 |
| alpha7 | Slart but how i'm trying drag or use the command to cp font files to font folder | 23:10 |
| Slart | alpha7: man sudo will show you another way.. sudo -i or sudo -s.. I can't remember which it is | 23:10 |
| titan_ark_ | glitsj16: No | 23:10 |
| tonyyarusso | Slart: both of those work, they just treat the environment differently. | 23:10 |
| glitsj16 | titan_ark_: look into installing transmission-cli and save you some hairpulling ;) | 23:11 |
| rdz | hi all. does anybody know a place, where you can download ppd files for all kinds of printers? it's seems that there is no driver for my printer included in ubuntu | 23:11 |
| Slart | alpha7: drag the font files to a folder called .fonts in your home folder.. much easier | 23:11 |
| alpha7 | Slart it wouldn't allow me | 23:11 |
| titan_ark_ | glitsj16 i am a total n00b just started linux! going entirely cli will drive me nuts! | 23:11 |
| Slart | alpha7: or start nautilus as root, gksudo nautilus.. but be very careful with that window.. one little misplaced drag and drop and your system could be dead | 23:11 |
| mads | Myrtti, but when its installed with apt-get how do I configure it ? I dont know how to see where it is installed automaticly | 23:12 |
| mads | Myrtti, and from what I understand it dont have a GUI | 23:12 |
| titan_ark_ | glitsj: iv already been loosing enough sleep everyday! its 4:45Am already and i am yet to get some sleep :D | 23:12 |
| glitsj16 | titan_ark_: nothing keeps you from having both installed at the same time, use the cli for cron etc. it's designed for that use case | 23:12 |
| Slart | well.. I'm off to bed now.. good night everyone | 23:13 |
| qcjn | Slart: i m on the phone | 23:13 |

| Gaming4JC | ianj_: Probably Xfce, although it's pretty limited it is easy on old comps. | 23:26 |
| _dbd_l12 | aaron__: try installing and using sysv-rc-conf. It will allow you to remove the bluetooth module from the startup list. Or you could try adding "blacklist bluetooth" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and then reboot | 23:26 |

| _dbd_l12 | Gaming4JC: disagree with the "limited" part of XFCE :| | 23:27 |

| Gaming4JC | Ne0n_Lightz: What does your PC do on reboot? It should display GRUB boot manager and allow you to boot Ubuntu | 23:31 |
| titan_ark_ | prolly ill just get some sleep | 23:31 |
| glitsj16 | titan_ark_: _dbd_112's solution will work, or simply running "killall transmission" on your prefered time no ? sorry to added to the confusion ... | 23:32 |

| Dillizar | i cant install flash plugins pls help me | 23:33 |
| Gaming4JC | Ne0n_Lightz: That is a strange thing. Try this site, you can try replacing grub or editing the grub menu: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 23:34 |
| Gaming4JC | !grub | 23:34 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 23:34 |
| MCCPIcky | nividia is another problem | 23:34 |
| magcius | Dillizar, what did you try already? | 23:34 |
| Pricey | I have a file, and want to trim it. I want to remove "for example" 8th-21st characters of each line, and save the rest. Anyone got any bright ideas? | 23:34 |

| whyameye | MCCPIcky: are you having probs with nvidia | 23:35 |
| magcius | Dillizar, what package are you trying to install? | 23:35 |
| Ne0n_Lightz | Gaming4JC, I'll check it out i guess.. | 23:35 |
| Pricey | magcius: reading man now. | 23:35 |
| Dillizar | magcius, well i installed manually 10 but doesnt work | 23:35 |
| MCCPIcky | yes, used envyng to install driver but still not working | 23:35 |
| magcius | Dillizar, what do you mean by "doesn't work" | 23:35 |
| Ne0n_Lightz | Gaming4JC, I don't have ubuntu on a live cd, i mounted it on daemon tools. do i have to boot into a livecd? or is there another way | 23:35 |
| Dillizar | magcius, so i did it the easy way with apt-get | 23:35 |
| magcius | MCCPIcky, EnvyNG is outdated | 23:36 |
| whyameye | MCCPIcky: did it work before and just broke or ??? | 23:36 |
| titan_ark_ | thank you everyone for your help :) | 23:36 |
| titan_ark_ | tada | 23:36 |
| Dillizar | magcius, when i go to a web with flash says pls install plug ins | 23:36 |
| MCCPIcky | no 8.10 was a fresh install | 23:36 |
| glitsj16 | bye titan_ark_ | 23:36 |
| magcius | Dillizar, did you exit Firefox completely and start it again? | 23:36 |
| MCCPIcky | have had nividia working under fedora and debian in the past | 23:36 |
| ianj_ | what distinguishes xubuntu | 23:37 |
| whyameye | ok now the hardware driver isn't even listing nvidia video drivers as an option for me. | 23:37 |
| magcius | ianj_, it uses XFCE | 23:37 |
| jelly-bean | what would be the command to open a directory in the file explorer | 23:37 |

| MarcoPau | hello, I'm using usb-creator for ubuntu live on a pendrive and I would like to widen the extra space for data, cause the 250 megs I gave it flew away in a few minutes of usage | 23:37 |
| Gaming4JC | Ne0n_Lightz: The only way I can think of is through LiveCD. How did you manage to install GRUB onto your local from Windows via Daemon Tools? | 23:37 |
| magcius | jelly-bean, nautilus <FOLDER> | 23:37 |
| Dillizar | magcius, yeah and restart few times | 23:37 |
| MadMax77 | and now i just replaced it with mysql 5.1 | 23:37 |
| jelly-bean | magcius: thnx | 23:37 |
| MadMax77 | but php is still showing mysql 5.0 | 23:37 |
| magcius | Dillizar, what package did you install with apt-get? | 23:37 |
| MadMax77 | how do i forget the upgrade | 23:38 |
| MadMax77 | *force the upgrade | 23:38 |
| Dillizar | magcius, i cant install flash plugins pls help me | 23:38 |
| magcius | jelly-bean, that's assuming you're using GNOME, not KDE or XFCE | 23:38 |
| Gaming4JC | Ne0n_Lightz: I thought Daemon Tools only worked on Windows so it shouldn't effect your Local Disk (Hard Drive). :-/ | 23:38 |
| Ne0n_Lightz | Gaming4JC, I just mounted the iso, the menu popped up and i hit install inside windows, and it finished and i hit reboot now, and it brought me into the boot menu i hit ubuntu and it finished the installation. | 23:38 |
| magcius | Dillizar, what command did you run with apt-get? | 23:38 |
| MCCPIcky | MCCPIcky, EnvyNG is outdated, so what would you use? | 23:38 |
| Dillizar | magcius, i cant install flash plugins pls help me | 23:38 |
| Dillizar | magcius, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. | 23:39 |
| Gaming4JC | Ne0n_Lightz: Ahh, must be something new. I've never tried Installing Ubuntu from within Windows. I would try from inside a LiveCD. | 23:39 |
| magcius | Dillizar, you're not listening. What command did you run? I need this in order to help you. | 23:39 |
| Dillizar | sorry bout that all past :P | 23:39 |
| Dillizar | magcius, i ran sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 23:39 |
| Ne0n_Lightz | Gaming4JC, the last time i used a livecd was over a year ago, do i neeed to setup a partition or anything? or will it just install and will both of my windows partitions be safe? | 23:39 |
| Dillizar | magcius, and the answer was flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. | 23:39 |

| === away_man_ftl is now known as iron_man_ftw | ||
| Gaming4JC | Ne0n_Lightz: I'm guessing you have not alreadly installed Ubuntu. (otherwise it would have booted). On a clean install from LiveCD you click "Install" on the desktop. You are then presented with the partitioner, it will safely partition your drive. | 23:42 |
| Ne0n_Lightz | Gaming4JC, what speed should i use to write the image to the disk or does it not matter? and i installed it inside windows.. | 23:42 |
| Gaming4JC | You can move the slider back and forth on how much room you want to give Ubuntu | 23:42 |
| Gaming4JC | Ne0n_Lightz: Doesn't matter, whatever your drive can do. | 23:42 |
| Ne0n_Lightz | Gaming4JC, but im about to completely erase it from windows so i can get ready to install from disk and okay ill do max lol. | 23:43 |
| whyameye | where does intrepid specify the video driver? It isn't /etc/X11/xorg.conf anymore... | 23:43 |
| cheryl | were can i find sudo or sinapptics packit maneger please help last ? promise | 23:43 |
| Gaming4JC | Ne0n_Lightz: Can you explain to me how you installed Ubuntu "inside" Windows? | 23:43 |

| Commie_Cary | my dvd drive has labelflash support but ubuntu dosnt reconize it what do I do | 23:44 |
| Gaming4JC | Ne0n_Lightz: Are you using a virtual machine to install Ubuntu inside Windows? Otherwise I believe it is impossible. lol. LiveCD is the way to go., | 23:44 |
| Ivanlul | How do I access my video card options in linux? I have an ATI radeon xpress 200 | 23:44 |
| syva | hey, i just installed windows onto a spare partition, however it must have removed grub or something so i dont have the option to dual boot | 23:44 |
| cheryl | thank you i appreciate it | 23:44 |
| syva | how can i get grub back | 23:44 |
| Ne0n_Lightz | Gaming4JC, ill explain exactly what i did. i dled the iso for ubuntu 8.10 32bit off of ubuntu.com Then, I mounted it with Daemon tools, and a menu popped up and said Demo and full install, install inside windows or learn more. i hit install inside windows | 23:44 |
| Ne0n_Lightz | then it installed and said reboot now or later and i rebooted and it didnt have the ubuntu boot option | 23:45 |
| nsadmin | syva /msg ubottu grub | 23:45 |
| Gaming4JC | strange | 23:45 |
| Ne0n_Lightz | have you ever heard of wubi lol? its not impossible trust me | 23:45 |
| whyameye | is there a way I can just reinstall Intrepid without it erasing all my files? | 23:45 |

| Commie_Cary | my dvd drive has labelflash support but ubuntu dosnt reconize it what do I do | 23:46 |
| Gaming4JC | Ne0n_Lightz: Ah. I see now, I am unfamiliar with the installer on Windows. Sorry. :-/ | 23:46 |
| Ne0n_Lightz | Gaming4JC, will it still install normal if i have already a dual boot? | 23:46 |

| whyameye | the intrepid hardware manager is no longer finding my nvidia card. What can I do to repair this? | 23:47 |
| Gaming4JC | Ne0n_Lightz: If you did you shouldn't need to install it again, just fix the existing. | 23:47 |
| Pricey | magcius: Check out 'cut's -c option... that sounds much better ;) | 23:47 |
| Ne0n_Lightz | Gaming4JC, too late now, deleted all of ubuntu. im writing the iso to a disk for the new install that will not be inside windows. | 23:47 |
| Pricey | magcius: much simpler to understand for me :) | 23:47 |
