jj_galvez | tonylthornton: I would remove the partician and then just recreate it, or you can reformat it | 00:05 |

Bsims | Guest1920 open up synaptic and browse for the package and look for installed files under properties | 00:11 |
askvictor | Guest1920: the exectuable normally goes in /usr/bin, libraries in /usr/lib, config files in /etc, docs in /usr/share/doc, and various other bits elsewhere. The package manager keeps track of where things are and what to remove when uninstalling | 00:11 |

_igel__ | jelly-bean: you can set it like I describend and then you need the command 'export' to make it take effect | 00:13 |
askvictor | newbie2345435: if you are using host interface networking in vmware then you shouldn't need to forward ports; the guest should get an IP address on 'real' network that the host is on. If you are using NAT networking then you will need to configure VMware to forward ports. | 00:14 |
newbie2345435 | but my guest os has a different ip than host | 00:15 |
jelly-bean | _igel__: /etc/bash.bashrc seems to have done the trick! thnx | 00:15 |
newbie2345435 | it's bridged networking | 00:15 |
askvictor | newbie2345435: sorry, was using the terminology used in virtualbox | 00:16 |

whacked | Ok i have 2 HD , one has Ubuntu installed on it the other windows, windows is master and Ubuntu is on slave, when I boot up i press F8 for OS selection but on windows appears , if i go into bois and change HD boot order i can boot into Ubuntu, but i was kinda hoping just to be able to chose OS from pressing F8 and not have to actually go into bois and change boot order on HD | 01:50 |
IndyGunFreak | fotune: hardly... did you say you're on a mac? | 01:50 |
chu_ | Hey, I've had this problem for a while, and some of you may recall me asking for help, anyway my laptop's battery isn't "identified" (though the laptop says the battery isn't detected it runs on battery power so it *must* be detected right? I don't get any readings from it though, in fact the laptop tells me it is running on AC power!), anyway I was thinking if I can identify features of the battery, how could I then use that information to maybe help fix this | 01:50 |
chu_ | problem? Basically what goes into battery detected? I assume it has something to do with ACPI, or APM, though I believe APM is dying now? Any chance I could b having an APM/ACPI clash or something? | 01:50 |
fotune | yes... | 01:50 |
IndyGunFreak | fotune: is it a g3, or an intel mac? | 01:50 |

ne0nlightz | magcius: how did you get it to work? im pretty sure theres a bug where those drivers break | 02:15 |
merther | It's ethernet. I go into network connections and I take the auto eth and edit that under ipv4 settings for manual | 02:15 |
IndyGunFreak | whacked: are you there? | 02:15 |
jp_sf | ne0nlightz, I have 177 | 02:15 |

ne0nlightz | how did you get it to work? the last time i checked those drivers failed | 02:15 |
ne0nlightz | after you reboot there is no gui | 02:15 |
merther | once I'm done modifying that I reset the network connection and it's still not the ip I put in. | 02:15 |
ne0nlightz | unless they fixed t | 02:16 |
jp_sf | merther: I'm not so sure about the gui maybe we could do that from the command line within a terminal you are ok with that ? | 02:16 |
whacked | yes sorry i was reading instructions | 02:16 |
merther | I'd be fine with that, haven't done that before though. | 02:16 |
IndyGunFreak | no problem, and i just want to be clear, you booted the live CD, and tried to follow the instructions for restoring grub, and it didn't work, right? | 02:16 |
ne0nlightz | jp_sf: did you have to do anything to get those drivers to work or did it automatically | 02:16 |
whacked | i havent tried anything yet | 02:17 |
jp_sf | merther: the basic idea would be to edit your /etc/network/interfaces | 02:17 |
IndyGunFreak | whacked: lol, well then close the window you ust opened | 02:17 |
jp_sf | ne0nlightz: nope nothing enabling the proprietary drivers that's it | 02:17 |

jp_sf | merther: basically the network settings are in /etc/network/interfaces | 02:17 |
whacked | be back in a bit ok | 02:17 |
merther | k got it up with sudo and sofar it's got auto lo and iface lo inet loopback. | 02:17 |
ne0nlightz | jp_sf: would having two graphics card mess this up do you know>? | 02:18 |
jp_sf | ne0nlightz: got only one no sorry I don't know | 02:18 |
whacked | why need live when i can boot to Unbuntu | 02:18 |
IndyGunFreak | whacked: ok, you figure it out. | 02:18 |
whacked | no | 02:18 |

IndyGunFreak | whacked: that wasn't really my question | 02:18 |
jp_sf | merther: you should have a line I guess with iface eth0 inet dhcp if you were in DHCP before | 02:19 |

merther | iface lo inet loopback | 02:19 |
whacked | but i have to boot from live cd | 02:19 |
jp_sf | merther: just to make sure your lan card is eth0 ? could you type ifconfig to check the neame of your card | 02:19 |
whacked | i cannot just boot up Ubuntu off Hd and run terminal then | 02:20 |
merther | ya gots eth0 | 02:20 |
_VIM_ | mib_oj6v43: I don't believe gOS is a flavor of Ubuntu, check distrowatch.com and type in gOS it should give more details | 02:20 |
sebsebseb | ne0nlightz: you probably only got one graphics card like me, but yes I got two options for the driver as well | 02:20 |
sebsebseb | ne0nlightz: obviously you go for the latest version | 02:20 |
ne0nlightz | sebsebseb: actually i have 2... 9300 and 8300 | 02:21 |
ne0nlightz | which are known to mess up | 02:21 |
jp_sf | merther: ok so the basic idea would be to add to your /etc/network/interfaces few lines to specifiy your network configuration | 02:21 |
mib_oj6v43 | _VIM_ gOS is an easy-to-use, Ubuntu-based distribution designed for less technical computer users | 02:21 |
Phreakish | could somebody point me in the right direction on installing belkin f5d8053 usb wireless stick (ralink rt2870 chipset) Im a native vista user taking a leap of faith and trying linux with no previus knowledge and seem to be failing horribly! | 02:21 |
_VIM_ | but it's not supported by Ubuntu mib_oj6v43 | 02:21 |
ne0nlightz | sebsebseb: do you know about that? 2 nvidia cards with 177 or 173 are known to mess up and give no gui on boot | 02:21 |
jp_sf | merther: you have to add: iface eth0 inet static | 02:21 |
whacked | so can i just boot my Ubuntu from Hd anc run terminal command suggested , or actually have to run live cd again | 02:21 |
jp_sf | merther: (and remove any line with iface eth0 inet dhcp) | 02:22 |
sebsebseb | ne0nlightz: no don't know about that, and why do you have two? | 02:22 |

jp_sf | merther: ok then you have to put the netmask usually if it's on a home lan network it should be something like that: netmask 255.255.255.0 | 02:24 |
nightrid3r | Phreakish try unplug and plug again | 02:25 |

jp_sf | merther: then the boadcast: broadcast 192.168.1.255 ( I assume your eth0 is 192.168.1.2 netmask is 255.255.255.0 gateway is 192.168.1.3) | 02:26 |
Phreakish | i'll be back in 5 to tell u what it says | 02:26 |
IndyGunFreak | don't those realtek devices require a firmware upgrade?.... i've always been lucky, and only had intel and atheros, which are usually pretty easy | 02:26 |

IndyGunFreak | zeke_: what is the problem w/ the thumb drive? | 02:27 |
jp_sf | merther: last but not least the DNS (to resolve host) this will be in /etc/resolv.conf | 02:27 |
jp_sf | merther: everything is ok ? | 02:28 |
merther | sofar | 02:28 |
_VIM_ | travmon69: people will help you more if you provide more details than that... :) | 02:28 |

jp_sf | !tab | merther | 02:28 |
ubottu | merther: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 02:28 |
IndyGunFreak | zeke_: hmm, | 02:28 |
merther | jp_sf: so far everything is ok | 02:29 |
jp_sf | merther: you know your DNS from your isp ? then you have to add them in /etc/resolv.conf with a line like nameserver (could be your gateway that have DNS service: nameserver 192.16.1.3 | 02:29 |
jp_sf | merther: it depends of you ISP and your configuration | 02:30 |
RJN | can anyone help me on how to sync data from a PC to a PC through network | 02:30 |
jp_sf | merther: it depends of your ISP and your configuration | 02:30 |
merther | jp_sf: I just use the router for the name server as it gets everything from the modem. I tend to also add open dns just in case. | 02:30 |
jp_sf | merther: perfect then use your gateway/modem/router that will do it (usually) | 02:31 |
travmon69 | @vim i used ubuntu since 6.04. is there a way i can make flash 10 work better on firefox? | 02:31 |

billenium | I have just installed ubuntu. I went adobe.com and downloaded the flash player .deb for 8.04+. I installed it and restarted firefox. I still cannot play youtube and other Flash things. I then clicked (on firefox) "Find plugin" and attempted to install Adobe Flash from there... It said it worked, yet when i restarted firefox it DOES NOT WORK... | 02:32 |
illumin8 | billenium, when you installed the adobe was firefox open | 02:33 |
merther | jp_sf: yep, I've done that part before so it should be ok. | 02:33 |
IndyGunFreak | zeke_: are you using Ubuntu? | 02:33 |
billenium | illumin8: i think so | 02:33 |
mrglinux | no solution for this problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6746342#post6746342 | 02:33 |
mrglinux | ? | 02:33 |
illumin8 | billenium, its important that neither your download window nor firefox browser are open at the time of install | 02:33 |
zeke_ | IndyGunFreak: yeah i'm using ubuntu 8.10 | 02:33 |
IndyGunFreak | hm, not sure why the drive won't auto mount,t hat doesn't make much sense | 02:34 |
billenium | illumin8: should i close them and then reinstall it from the .deb? | 02:34 |
illumin8 | billenium, also are you using the 64 bit version or 32 bit version of ubuntu | 02:34 |
whacked | can someone sen link for me again ? | 02:34 |
_VIM_ | travmon69: also please dont use @vim that wont highlight me :( use _VIM_ | 02:34 |
billenium | 32bit version | 02:34 |
ovnicraft | so, i see the pkg for ubuntu but i can see the code? | 02:34 |
jp_sf | merther: then you are supposedly good to go, you can bring your interface up and bring down all your configuration are now saved (sudo ifconfig eth0 down and then sudo ifconfig eth0 up) | 02:34 |
illumin8 | billenium, 64 bit does not have adobe support that i know of. | 02:34 |
illumin8 | billenium, one moment ill get you a terminal command to install it | 02:34 |
ovnicraft | this is the ubuntu developer channel? | 02:34 |
billenium | Thank you. | 02:34 |
_VIM_ | no it's not | 02:34 |
_VIM_ | #ubuntu-dev i think it is | 02:35 |
nightrid3r | ovnicraft no it support channel | 02:35 |

jp_sf | ne0nlightz: well here on the ubuntu forum I would say use the synaptic if you are stuck somebody would be able to help you | 03:10 |
shumba | <rdw2001..> is that a windows utility? | 03:10 |
ne0nlightz | jp_sf: which one do i dl do you know | 03:10 |
rdw200169 | shumba, no, it's usually either a floppy (for old computers) or a very small .iso | 03:10 |
zeke_ | i'm getting desperate here people | 03:11 |
rdw200169 | shumba, it is the only software out there that can definitively tell you if your HDD is borked | 03:11 |
jp_sf | ne0nlightz: it depends of your card you have I use 177 and I'm happy with it | 03:11 |
rdw200169 | shumba, it *seems* that you have a hardware problem... | 03:11 |

whacked | so who can help me get windows back | 03:12 |
_VIM_ | travmon69: hmmm yeah I dont blame you there :) | 03:12 |
ubuntu_ | hello | 03:12 |
ne0nlightz | whacked: what made it go away | 03:12 |
travmon69 | WACKED try supergrubdisk | 03:12 |
rdw200169 | shumba, the inability for linux to see the drive (as a /dev/sd* ) can be something as simple as insufficient power or a bad usb case | 03:13 |
travmon69 | _VIM_ hmmmm | 03:13 |
jp_sf | ne0nlightz: I'm not sure | 03:13 |
jkristheking | can someone help me compile deluge 1.1.3 pleaese im getting errors! | 03:13 |

ikt | whacked, how did you get on irc? | 03:14 |
jrib | whacked: that's a bit vague. When you installed ubuntu, did you overwrite windows or did you resize it? | 03:15 |
jkristheking | Thurin1: oh... ok | 03:15 |
Thurin1 | jkristheking: Read the deluge documentation - it tells you everything, errors usually mean you are missing libraries. -- Get the libs and you'll be fine. | 03:15 |
whacked | grub has somehow tricked my HD with windows installed on it to load unbuntu instead | 03:15 |
ne0nlightz | jp_sf: nope it just told me my card. | 03:15 |
* ikt crys | 03:15 | |
Thurin1 | jkristheking: Make sure to run 'make distclean' before you run the compile again. | 03:15 |

_VIM_ | travmon69: hehe there's nothing wrong with that, I've been using Ubuntu off/on for about 2 years, And I still learn things new everyday in here | 03:15 |
ne0nlightz | jp_sf: ill just use the site......... | 03:15 |

zeke_ | can anyone help my thumbdrive issues? | 03:16 |
Thurin1 | jkristheking: You could always install it from synaptic - but no in general you're better off looking up the proper libraries to make sure the versions are correct | 03:16 |
ne0nlightz | jp_sf: last time i used envy and installed drivers i had lost my ubuntu. | 03:16 |
Mike_92 | I have a program made in Visual Basic 6 that loads a flash file from my computer, however for some reason when I try running it in WINE the swf won't load, can someone help? | 03:16 |
jkristheking | Thurin1: yeah i wanna install the latest version. not in repo's is very outdated | 03:17 |
jp_sf | ne0nlightz: well yes usually envy is better for ATI card | 03:17 |
Thurin1 | jkristheking: Ubuntu has rather old libraries (stable) and it could be that the newest deluge source is looking for newer libs, especially if you see errors like 1.10 => 2.019 blah | 03:17 |
jp_sf | ne0nlightz: at least in my experience | 03:17 |
ne0nlightz | well ill use the site | 03:17 |
zeke_ | i'm begging you people | 03:17 |
travmon69 | _VIM_ i used ubuntu longer than you haha and i gettin help form you this is ubuntu best benifit!\ | 03:17 |
Thurin1 | jkristheking: So first you must make a list of the libs, download the libraries source - build the libraries and then build deluge. | 03:17 |
_VIM_ | lol | 03:17 |
zeke_ | is there someplace else i can go for help? | 03:17 |

whacked | ok someone send me the link | 03:17 |
jkristheking | Thurin1: are you using deluge? if so do you know how to add it to the repo's? | 03:17 |
Thurin1 | jkristheking: Remember to ./configure --prefix=/usr - or the libs may end up in /usr/local -- same with deluge. | 03:17 |
jkristheking | Thurin1: hmm there is a really easy way to install it ill link u it... | 03:18 |
travmon69 | _VIM_ that what we get for using closed software | 03:18 |
Thurin1 | jkristheking: The newest versions arent, and um the best way to get a nice new install quickly is to find a .deb package and install via dpkg, or Debi | 03:18 |
jkristheking | thurin1: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Installing/Source | 03:18 |

jkristheking | whacked: im just trying to help you buddy... thats how i got my windows OS back and working | 03:27 |
whacked | so how to get back my windows | 03:27 |
redvamp128 | whacked: www,ultimatebootcd.com which has super grub disk on it also and lots of tools | 03:27 |
IndyGunFreak | whacked: i just want to point out, that had you installed like a normal person, none of this would be an issue | 03:27 |
whacked | ok so focus how to get windows forget grub ok | 03:27 |
whacked | can you do that | 03:28 |
redvamp128 | whacked: www.ultimatebootcd.com | 03:28 |
jkristheking | redvamp128: exact one i used to fix my boot | 03:28 |
redvamp128 | whacked lots of tools on that one | 03:28 |
jkristheking | wacked: sorry but your stupid. YOU need to REMOVE grub to get you windows boot WORKING AGIAIN | 03:28 |
redvamp128 | Sorry about pouncing in on that one-- but whacked with that cd you can fix booting errrors and restore your windows boot. | 03:28 |
whacked | you just gave me a link with instructions i only tried a few, know you are telling me you dont have the no how to undo | 03:28 |
mzz | whacked: you cannot *uninstall* a bootloader. You can install a different one over the current one. So if you want to get rid of grub (and ubuntu) completely I'd ask ##windows for steps on reinstalling the windows boot loader (iirc the windows boot cd can do this) | 03:29 |
srid | hi there - my advanced mini dock from lenovo does not work. sound works, but display and USB does not work. any ideas? | 03:29 |
jkristheking | wacked: you simply can't undo grub loader..... | 03:29 |
srid | they work Vista, but not on Ubuntu and Windows XP | 03:29 |
whacked | i tried just a few things from this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 03:29 |
srid | work on* | 03:29 |
mzz | whacked: alternatively you can reconfigure grub to chainload windows, but I don't know how best to do that with ubuntu's grub setup | 03:29 |
mzz | whacked: if you're trying to get rid of ubuntu and grub the link you just gave won't help, iirc. | 03:29 |
IndyGunFreak | whacked: all i did was give you a link... | 03:29 |
whacked | and now you are sending me other places to solve issue | 03:29 |
whacked | how lame | 03:29 |
mzz | whacked: that's because you changed your problem description. | 03:30 |
redvamp128 | whacked: here is a good page explaining how grub works -- (and yes I know it is not a comunity link) grub page <http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm> | 03:30 |
whacked | all i did was run a few commands listed | 03:30 |
nickrud | whacked, did you read and make sure you knew what those 'few commands' did? | 03:30 |
jkristheking | wacked: your lucky your getting help by us acting like this | 03:30 |

FloodBot2 | Ryan_Chau: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:31 |
travmon69 | _VIM_ k me back need to grab a brew.. i looked @ the site it was 64 bit i use 32b same same issue though. i guess it flash and not linux | 03:31 |
mzz | Ryan_Chau: it tends to just work automagically (provided your network hardware is detected and something is running dhcp, which is often the case) | 03:31 |
mzz | Ryan_Chau: what specifically isn't working? | 03:31 |
Ryan_Chau | well, it doesnt;' detect it | 03:32 |
nickrud | whacked, why not go afk for a bit, cool down, and come back when you're ready to explain what you did? | 03:32 |

Ryan_Chau | i put in the eternet cable | 03:32 |
evilGUI | I have a question I just ran nmap to check for open ports on my server and after doing so I couldn't resolve any domain names for about 3 minutes what could this be? | 03:32 |
Ryan_Chau | and i turn on firefox | 03:32 |
whacked | grub> root (hdX,Y) grub> setup (hd0) | 03:32 |

whacked | what a joke | 03:32 |
Ryan_Chau | and it told me it wasnt able to resolve the problem | 03:32 |
DigitalKiwi | with the X, Y? and not substitute numbers? | 03:32 |
Ryan_Chau | i was looking for something similar to ipconfig /renew or something that window uses | 03:33 |
evilGUI | Odd thing is this effect every machine on my network. | 03:33 |
nickrud | whacked, ok, that's good. It installed grub on .... well, I can but if you're gonna act a twit I'll help someone else. See ya. | 03:33 |
Ryan_Chau | it doesn't seem to detect my modem | 03:33 |
mzz | whacked: uninstalling a bootloader makes no sense, and you still haven't explained if you're trying to fix up grub or get rid of it (iirc you changed which you wanted halfway through) | 03:33 |

Ryan_Chau | but when i plug the same wire into my pc, it works just fine. | 03:36 |
cianuro | Holaaa | 03:36 |
mzz | Ryan_Chau: that's probably sufficient. I'm a bit oldfashioned and would often look at the output from /sbin/ifconfig. | 03:36 |
jkristheking | Thurin1: if your still here i've givin up on the build. it keeps looping info which i can't make out. ill just use the previous version which crashed on me | 03:36 |
whacked | listen all i did was type in command this find /grub/stage1Using this information, set the root device (fill in X,Y with whatever the find command returned): grub> root (hdX,Y)Install Grub: grub> setup (hd0) | 03:36 |
Fireblazer | With support, should that be done in PM to avoid chat flood? | 03:36 |
redvamp128 | whacked: or download the ultimatebootcd (those are your two choices) | 03:36 |

Guest | umm.. Hi? | 03:38 |
redvamp128 | travmon69: I have flash9 installed on 8.04.2 | 03:38 |
Ryan_Chau | okay, but in short, it should auto detect once the wire is connected and configure to connect to the internet by itself? | 03:38 |
IndyGunFreak | deeejz: ok.. you want to get on a wireless network, so you must have a wireless device | 03:38 |
cookie | whacked did you try ctrl+z? | 03:38 |
IndyGunFreak | jkristheking: lol, i came to that conclusiona LONG time ago | 03:38 |

chu_ | deeejz - Do you have ntdiswrapper (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/)? We know your wireless works (on Vista), so we should just need to find the driver | 03:39 |
whacked | ok next | 03:39 |
travmon69 | _redvamp128_ you got the click to enter chat button? | 03:39 |
mzz | Ryan_Chau: that depends on how normal the modem is. I'm pretty sure it should work for most of them. | 03:39 |
jkristheking | indygunfreak: hey do you use any bittorrent clients? | 03:39 |
nickrud | whacked, he said to boot the windows cd for those commands. Read back, answer my question about booting | 03:39 |
Ryan_Chau | what modems would cause the problem? | 03:39 |
deeejz | no i dont have that i take it i need that haha:P | 03:39 |
IndyGunFreak | jkristheking: transmission usually.. it works fine for me. | 03:39 |

Quagmire | Hello Guys, When I first boot up Ubuntu 8.10 there will be a list of routers in my wireless list, but mine is curiously absent. I can see 2 to 4 routers from neighbors, but mine will take 2 or 3 minutes to show up in the list. I'm a newbie and when i first got things going with Ubuntu I'm positive I made created this mess and I've just lived with the aggravation, but its time to get it fixed. | 04:20 |
IndyGunFreak | computerMoney: copy/paste this line in a terminal, then hit enter and put in your password... sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic | 04:20 |
paragonc_ | RHorse - i turned WEP off | 04:20 |
alife | InCrypto_work: do you have a specific apt-cache command to look at? im not seeing compile time options :/ | 04:20 |
paragonc_ | RHorse - so its an open access point | 04:20 |
felixsulla | bash: ./autogen.sh: No such file or directory | 04:21 |
RHorse | paragonc_: so ur using an open router, correct? | 04:21 |
paragonc_ | im online w/ my macbook - so i know the routers good | 04:21 |
computerMoney | IndyGunFreak: Was already current | 04:21 |
IndyGunFreak | deeejz: if you're seeing networks, then the device is presumably set up correctly.. what encryption level is your network using? | 04:21 |
paragonc_ | RHorse: Yes correct | 04:21 |
felixsulla | bash is saying I'm running it from teh wrong place isnt it? | 04:21 |
mustangg | so is there any way to tweak the file op progress/status of nautilus? I'm doing lots of large files on a slow wire and the progress is measured in GB but the speed can be measured in minutes-of-waiting | 04:21 |
IndyGunFreak | computerMoney: have you restarted since doing that? | 04:21 |
RHorse | paragonc_ ok. | 04:21 |
computerMoney | IndyGunFreak: I have not updated it since turning my computer on last. | 04:22 |
RHorse | paragonc_: type the following: sudo iwconfig essid YOUR_ESSID | 04:22 |
computerMoney | I believe I added that in a previous attempt. | 04:22 |
paragonc_ | YOUR_ESSID is just the name of the AP right? | 04:22 |
RHorse | yes | 04:22 |
DIFH-iceroot | paragonc_: correct | 04:22 |
cookie | anyone know a good updated digital security book? | 04:23 |
timedroid | Also, is there any way to install a package from the live install CD? | 04:23 |
IndyGunFreak | computerMoney: you've probably blacklisted something in your fumbling through this.... | 04:23 |
cookie | or even website | 04:23 |
paragonc_ | RHorse: it says unknown command theRouter | 04:23 |
computerMoney | IndyGunFreak: Very possible during madwifi setup | 04:23 |
paragonc_ | sudo iwconfig essid theRouter | 04:23 |
Quagmire | I think my router is set up as a Hidden Network and thats whats causing my router to not show up ...can anyone help me with this? | 04:23 |
IndyGunFreak | thats what i'm thinkin | 04:23 |
travmon69 | _redvamp128_ all golden now it was a flash 10 prob flash 9 works a ok THANK YOU!!! now i not need to boot windows for my twit fix lol | 04:24 |
deeejz | indy: its password protected..if that helps | 04:24 |
felixsulla | To use it, install the 'checkinstall' package on your distribution. | 04:24 |
IndyGunFreak | deeejz: can you log in to your router? | 04:24 |
paragonc_ | RHorse: i modified it to sudo iwconfig ath0 essid theRotuer | 04:24 |
RHorse | paragonc_: sorry: the command is sudo iwconfig ath0 essid ESSID_NAME | 04:24 |
redvamp128 | travmon69: No problem-- but sometimes the latest ain't always the greatest | 04:24 |
paragonc_ | ok - i did that | 04:24 |
RHorse | OK | 04:24 |
computerMoney | IndyGunFreak: Any suggestions where I might find my blacklist? | 04:25 |
IndyGunFreak | computerMoney: negative, sorry. | 04:25 |
paragonc_ | i still cant ping out | 04:25 |
RHorse | paragonc_: are you using dhcp? | 04:25 |
=== c_nick is now known as dragon_flam | ||
paragonc_ | it should be pulling an IP via DHCP yes | 04:25 |
Tbolt | need sound card help, i have 8.10 x64, installed on a Dell xps 420 with a Sigmatel (stac92xx) sound card, and i cant seem to get the "mic" input or the "line in" port to work. all the output ports work fine. also, both ports worked when it came from Dell with windows in it. any suggestions ? | 04:25 |
computerMoney | IndyGunFreak: Thank you anyway. Would you suggest working on the usb linksys or native atheros? | 04:25 |
RHorse | paragonc_: ok type sudo dhclient ath0 | 04:25 |
IndyGunFreak | computerMoney: the atheros, definitely.. honestly it should work to be truthful. | 04:26 |
IndyGunFreak | computerMoney: i have that device on 3 machines, it works perfectly | 04:26 |
alife | if im looking inside an ubuntu source package, could one tell me where to look for the debian rules file? | 04:26 |
hlm | I accidentally changed my resolution, and cant click the apply button to change it back, is there a way to change it through terminal? | 04:26 |

bullgard4 | Where can I find a manual for gnome-settings-daemon? | 04:26 |
computerMoney | IndyGunFreak: I understand it to involve the inability of my 64 bit computer to groove with 54 bit intrepid. | 04:27 |
paragonc_ | doesnt look like it pulling down tho | 04:27 |
felixsulla | mzz you still there? | 04:27 |

ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 04:27 |
bruenig | bullgard4: it is graphical, so you point and click | 04:27 |
Digitalcheffe | how do i fix my mater boot record | 04:27 |
RHorse | paragonc_: not working? | 04:27 |
hlm | so no one can answer that? | 04:27 |
paragonc_ | ok - "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping" | 04:27 |
mzz | bullgard4: there may not be one (it's probably not recommended to run it directly, with it sitting in /usr/libexec/) | 04:27 |
IndyGunFreak | computerMoney: i wouldnm't think so, i have 2 64bit PC's, both run 32bit w/o issue | 04:27 |
hlm | seems like a simple question... | 04:27 |
mzz | hlm: try xrandr | 04:27 |
computerMoney | Ooooh | 04:27 |
bullgard4 | bruenig: What is graphical? | 04:28 |
mzz | hlm: (xrandr -s 1280x1024, iirc) | 04:28 |
RHorse | paragonc_: ok, well, you can try another card or pulling out and replacing the card or ndiswrapper. | 04:28 |
hlm | thankyou | 04:28 |
hlm | I knew if I pushed it id get a response ;-) | 04:28 |
bruenig | bullgard4: point and click | 04:29 |
promet | tbolt have you tried alsa-mixer to make sure your mic channel is unmuted? | 04:29 |
paragonc_ | RHorse - i dont have another card - so try switching the PCI slot? | 04:29 |
felixsulla | mzz Do you know where I need to run the ./autogen line from to get Checkinstall loaded on my Ub untu? | 04:29 |
Scunizi | hlm: still might not work though | 04:29 |
mzz | felixsulla: I think you have some things backwards | 04:29 |
RHorse | paragonc_: you can try that. Some folks have gotten good results from wicd. | 04:29 |
bullgard4 | mzz: Even if it is not recommended to run it directly, this should be written in a manual. | 04:29 |
NoTownKasper | Dual Monitor running as seperate X screens because nvidia-settings won't let me select twinview (Multiple graphics cards probably) All I wanna know is how to move an application from one monitor to another...:( | 04:29 |
Chaorain | I know ubuntu has no viruses (still hard to belive compared to windows) but what about hackers? | 04:29 |
paragonc_ | weird | 04:29 |
Tbolt | promet: yes i have checked it | 04:29 |
mzz | felixsulla: you only run the "make install" step under checkinstall. The configure and build steps run as "you" and do not depend on checkinstall at all | 04:29 |
Scunizi | hlm: if you type xrandr and see the list of current resolutions set for the system.. the one you want may not be there. | 04:29 |
mzz | bullgard4: perhaps (I actually do exactly that) | 04:30 |
hlm | ALL: thanks for the assistance, ive fixed it now | 04:30 |
travmon69 | _redvamp128- i hear that. that a 3 year old windows habit lol ooh better update it! lol i read on ub forums about it an preach excatly that to freind about kernel updates that stopped friennnnds hardware from working. i said if it it works dont updare or keep the kernel for backup | 04:30 |
redvamp128 | Chaorain: Since this room is so busy -- please talk about that one in #ubuntu-offtopic room | 04:30 |
promet | tblot, also you may also want to check the file "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 04:30 |
felixsulla | So I need to load checkinstall somehow first, and do that command inside checkinstall? | 04:30 |
Quagmire | does anyone have any help for me on my issue? | 04:30 |

Digitalcheffe | some one have a fix for this or is my HD hosed | 04:31 |
bullgard4 | bruenig: Where should I point and click? | 04:31 |
travmon69 | _redvamp128_ foobar myself this time | 04:31 |

bruenig | bullgard4: on the buttons and widgets on the graphical user interface | 04:31 |
Scunizi | Quagmire: missed it .. what's the question? | 04:31 |
redvamp128 | travmon69: To make sure that grub lets you choose by default -- comment out the hidemenu with #hidemenu in your menu.lst | 04:31 |
promet | also tbolt, are you using pulseaudio? | 04:31 |
paragonc_ | then? | 04:31 |
Quagmire | one second and I'll repost it | 04:32 |
bullgard4 | bruenig: My dear! | 04:32 |
Danny__ | is there a force quit key combanation for ubuntu? | 04:32 |
redvamp128 | travmon69: that way should a kernel update fail you then you can choose the prior one. | 04:32 |
bruenig | bullgard4: are you trolling | 04:32 |
NoTownKasper | I have a small issue. Running a dual-monitor set up via two graphics cards, running dual X screens because Twinview isn't accessable. Is there a way to move an application window from one monitor to another? | 04:32 |
chu_ | So, helping out Guest25449, who is running a Live version of Ubuntu on their laptop, but their Ubuntu install won't detect the network, I know what the detected IP should be,so I'm thinking it's just linking ifconfig with the network address...

hajmola | what's the best program to use to have a XP virtual machine in Ibex? | 04:32 |
bruenig | !virtualization | hajmola | 04:32 |
ubottu | hajmola: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 04:32 |
Tbolt | promet: using ALSA | 04:32 |
thomc | http://paste.ubuntu.com/119054/ | 04:32 |
DIFH-iceroot | hajmola: i like vbox but everyone will tell you another program | 04:32 |
Scunizi | NoTownKasper: xinerama.. google it. | 04:32 |
mzz | hajmola: I like vbox but my cpu is old | 04:33 |
NoTownKasper | I did, and tried to enable it, but on X restart, the option un-toggled itself. | 04:33 |
Cool_Nick | I need a newer version of iptables tehn what comes with 8.10...Having hard time finding a repository that gives a newer version then 1.4.0. Anyone know of a good reposittory? | 04:33 |

travmon69 | _redvamp128_ i scared of of the grub folder! i unplug my other hds when i test a new os. i had a bad experince with debian lenny a few hrs ago | 04:34 |
NoTownKasper | Scunizi: I tried enabling it, but on x restart, it was un-toggled once more, have repeated the process a couple times, with the same result. | 04:34 |
redvamp128 | Danny__: if the application is on the desktop there is the panel item force quit | 04:34 |
paragonc_ | RHorse: ok - that didnt work | 04:34 |
Scunizi | Quagmire: if that's the case you might look and see if "broadcasting" is on.. that should make it show up faster | 04:34 |
paragonc_ | RHorse: just swapped the card and rebooted | 04:34 |
RHorse | paragonc_: same result? | 04:34 |
hajmola | DIFH-iceroot, would vbox support USB devices? | 04:34 |
Danny__ | i cant find a key combination for that still | 04:35 |
Quagmire | where do I find the "broadcast" switch | 04:35 |
Scunizi | NoTownKasper: two cards is problemmatic.. you need to look at hand configured xorg.conf files... sorry I don't have the expertise for this. | 04:35 |

redvamp128 | travmon69: it actually has the latest version availible | 04:43 |

keisangi | hi there, i made my system to bypass gdm/kdm, i start in text mode, and then startx to get into graphical mode.. since i stopped using gdm/kdm, i have no sound anymore .. | 05:33 |
harry_v | I may have found the issue. Could be the hard drive is to small for minimum install. | 05:33 |
keisangi | someone could help ? | 05:33 |
Aquina | lIs your sound subsystem installed correctly? | 05:34 |
usser | keisangi, you have to probably run alsa | 05:34 |
Aquina | (All necessary packets for it?) | 05:34 |
keisangi | when i use kdm or gdm, i have sound properly working, but when i use startx instead no more sound | 05:34 |
usser | keisangi, can u run alsamixer in terminal? | 05:34 |
nsadmin | keisangi: so, you're stuck with text-based configuration | 05:34 |
keisangi | usser, i try it now | 05:34 |
dtchen | keisangi: that's because gdm sources the scripts in the Xsession.d dir, whereas startx doesn't | 05:34 |
keisangi | $ alsa | 05:34 |
keisangi | Usage: /sbin/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume} | 05:34 |
usser | keisangi, try alsamixer | 05:34 |
spenser | Anyone know of a better place to ask the question I previously asked about setting up a kernel branch on my own server? | 05:35 |
dtchen | keisangi: i.e., if you use startx, you'll need to invoke `pulseaudio -D' by hand | 05:35 |
keisangi | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory | 05:35 |
nsadmin | keisangi: perhaps the drivers aren't inserted | 05:35 |

usser | keisangi, try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start | 05:35 |
dtchen | keisangi: that's fine; how's the sound? | 05:35 |
keisangi | usser, sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start seemed to work at least it didn't return any error, but still no sound | 05:36 |
nsadmin | keisangi: was it worth it to change things like this? on the other hand, this is a legitamate bug: if it doesn't work properly in text mode as it does in graphical mode, something is wrong and it should be reported as a bug | 05:36 |
keisangi | nsadmin, i think so | 05:37 |
gords | hi! i just installed kde on ubuntu8 hardy 2.6.24. how will i enable audio support? when i use headset it doesn't have a sound. i'm sure its working since i tested it a while ago. | 05:37 |
nsadmin | so, file a bug report | 05:37 |
keisangi | nsadmin, where should i do that? | 05:37 |
dtchen | keisangi: please run http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh, and tell me the url it generates | 05:37 |
keisangi | dtchen, i try | 05:38 |
nsadmin | by altering things the way you have, you have earned the opportunity to learn the answer to that yourself | 05:38 |
dtchen | keisangi: i.e., you need to save that script to your Desktop, then run it as bash ~/Desktop/alsa-info.sh | 05:38 |

nsadmin | if it fails, read the message, think about what it means, explore what that implies | 05:51 |
nsadmin | then see if you come to understand why that failure occurs | 05:52 |

jkoltner | I have a question about optimizing SSD performance with Ubuntu... the guides suggest redirecting /tmp, /var/log, and /var/tmp to a RAM disk (tmpfs), but if you leave a system configured that way running over time, sooner or later won't you run out of RAM? | 05:52 |

dtchen | keisangi: do you receive the same error with `amixer -Dhw:0'? | 05:53 |
nsadmin | I'm not all that willing to look at each step because it looks like neither are you | 05:53 |
alife | I completely understand the process, I was moreover curious as to wether there was a more pertinent set of compile options to check, but apparently this is the best trail, i'll follow it onward | 05:53 |

bullgard4 | dtchen: Before I issued the command that you suggested I changed to /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/Documentation | 06:12 |
nickrud | jkoltner, it's possible. /var/log pretty much maintains itself and the others generally won't get large. If you examine occasionally you shouldn't have any problems | 06:13 |
nickrud | jkoltner, just make sure your apps that generate large tmp files (like video) use tmp files in your home, for example | 06:14 |

jkoltner | nickrud: Years ago at school on shared Unix systems the standard operating procedure was to transfer large files to /tmp and compile them there since your home directory was limited to, e.g., 100MB! | 06:18 |

DoYouKnow | is there a more manual way of changing the resolution in ubuntu? | 06:39 |
IntuitiveNipple | DoYouKnow: It depends what changes you make. What did you add? | 06:40 |
DoYouKnow | I added a display section | 06:40 |
DoYouKnow | with the 1280x1024 part, so that I can run higher resolutions like windows | 06:40 |

IntuitiveNipple | DoYouKnow: Did you add a Monitor section declaring the frequencies the display can support? Usually that is the reason that resolutions are limited. | 06:42 |
DoYouKnow | IntuitiveNipple: this is a laptop | 06:43 |
DoYouKnow | IntuitiveNipple: what does screen resolutions do when it needs to change the resolution? | 06:44 |

chx | I have searched the forums but cant find the answer. Is there a deb for the new Sun Java or should i just go with the Sun installer? | 06:44 |
IntuitiveNipple | DoYouKnow: It depends on whether the system can get accurate information from EDID mostly. | 06:44 |
DoYouKnow | IntuitiveNipple: edid? | 06:45 |
IntuitiveNipple | chx: *which* new Sun Java? | 06:45 |

chx | IntuitiveNipple: apt-get install what? | 06:50 |
vigo | chx: I agree, I have used the Sun 'kit' or whatever, but the stable ones that are known to work with the kerenel are always better, unless you want to improve it,,which is always welcomed. long as the GPL/GNU and whatnot licenses are followed | 06:50 |

plazia | gords, i think that means you need to install the kernel-source package for the kernel version you are running. | 07:02 |
olskolirc | nsadmin, im not looking for -l either | 07:03 |
gords | plazia, im using kernel 2.6.24, so you mean apt-get install kernel-source | 07:03 |

illumin8 | Hi, recently i repartitioned my 300GB HD to install multiple linux oses, I noticed when ubuntu installed i had 3 options, entire disk, guided partition or manual, when i ran guided it asked me to adjust space at the beginning of the partition to give it a swap, but i had already set aside a swap. How can i resolve this issue of self set swap space? | 07:21 |
nickrud | illumin8, use the manual partitioning | 07:21 |
Cotowar | i would script it, but im tired, and don't know bash or perl like...at all | 07:21 |
illumin8 | nickrud, so i will need to assign it swap and it should work? | 07:21 |
Cotowar | all the languages i know are useless in this case, not counting the fact i don't know what I'm trying to do from a programming standpoint | 07:21 |
nickrud | illumin8, yes, you'll be setting up each partition you use manually -- type, placement, size, label, mount point, etc. | 07:22 |
Cotowar | and yes nickrud, i have a bunch of files with messed up names. i would like to fix them automatically | 07:22 |
nickrud | Cotowar, file names, right? | 07:22 |
Cotowar | yea | 07:22 |
illumin8 | nickrud, I see, so if i want to use 50gb inside an extended partion i will need to manually set them up first in gparted then assign them in the installer? | 07:22 |
Cotowar | the names are like name.wma.mp3 because i transcoded them | 07:23 |
homeskill | Cotowar are you sure the id3 tags arent messed up | 07:23 |
Cotowar | yea | 07:23 |
sumpygump | Cotowar: do you just want to get rid of the .wma part of the filename? Or more complex than that? | 07:23 |
Cotowar | just get rid of the .wma | 07:23 |
nickrud | Cotowar, load up easytag, and scanner->rename files/directories. you can process the id3 info into a file name however you like with wildcards | 07:23 |

rww | !iso | Veratyr9 | 07:24 |
ubottu | Veratyr9: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:24 |
* nickrud thinks KevDog's would be easiest, if he wrote the one liner ;) | 07:24 | |
Veratyr9 | <3 ubottu, thx again rww | 07:25 |
Cotowar | and I can't remember what the abbreviations are for easytag. all I want is title - artist. is that %t - %a | 07:25 |
Cotowar | or is %n for name, and %t for track number? | 07:25 |

Cotowar | i looked in the man, and it didnt say | 07:25 |
nickrud | Cotowar, you can see the wildcards by clicking the funny looking face on the scanner | 07:26 |
Cotowar | right, but what do the letters stand for | 07:26 |
Cotowar | i feel retarded asking that, but id rather not dick with this longer than i need to | 07:26 |
nickrud | Cotowar, click the question mark to see the legend | 07:26 |
olethri0s | I have an old laptop with a fscked dvdrom and for some reason won't let me boot from a usb stick... is there a way to empty a partition, mount the iso in windows xp, and install onto the clean partition? | 07:27 |
Cotowar | i have no question mark? | 07:27 |
bbns_bt | ii | 07:28 |
IntuitiveNipple | olethri0s: LookUp wubi - that may help | 07:28 |
Cotowar | oh, duh | 07:28 |
Flannel | olethri0s: Please watch the language. And, try one of the methods here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation | 07:28 |
Cotowar | i changed my icon set, so i really dont have a question mark | 07:28 |
Cotowar | my bad | 07:28 |

cloud-nist | I am using 8.10 and it seems like every two or 3 days if I leave music playing my audio makes this horrible noise that does not go away until I reboot. Does anyone know a fix? | 07:29 |
olethri0s | thanks Flannel | 07:30 |
nickrud | Cotowar, don't expect it to go quickly, renaming around 3500 took quite a while; 45 min to an hour? something like that | 07:30 |
olethri0s | Much appreciated, and sorry fer teh mouf ;) | 07:30 |
Cotowar | im going to let it run all night | 07:30 |

olskolirc | I just got a kernel upgrade to 2.6.27-12-generic but it shows me that I still have 2.6.27-11-generic. What happened | 07:30 |
sumpygump | cloud-nist: is it audio streaming over the network, or local files? | 07:31 |
nickrud | Cotowar, practice on a subdir first :) | 07:31 |
Cotowar | and its got about 35000 to do...lol | 07:31 |
Cotowar | yea | 07:31 |
Cotowar | i got that set already | 07:31 |
Cotowar | the broken songs from limewire | 07:31 |

olskolirc | I did a gedit on /boot/grub/menu.lst and 12 isn't in there | 07:31 |

visitor | 哈哈 | 07:31 |
_R4t_ | what are my options here? | 07:31 |
cloud-nist | sumpygump: the noise it makes is like my audio gets STUCK and stays that way till I reboot the machine. | 07:32 |

azlon | what do i type in terminal to find out what version of ubuntu i have? | 07:32 |
SunnyDP | <olskolirc>: because you decided to keep the old GRUB menu.lst when asked | 07:32 |
SunnyDP | !!! | 07:32 |
Cotowar | eh, im going to do it | 07:32 |
visitor | 大家好 | 07:32 |
SunnyDP | it's your fault | 07:32 |
rww | !version | azlon | 07:32 |
sumpygump | okay, I was gonna say, sometimes it happens to me that when the network is no longer available and it keeps trying to play the song, it just sounds like static, so it must be a different problem. | 07:32 |
SunnyDP | now you need to re-get the grub | 07:32 |
ubottu | azlon: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 07:32 |

Cotowar | one last question...how do i actually get it to rename the files? | 07:33 |
SunnyDP | <olskolirc>: run this command: sudo update-grub | 07:34 |
SunnyDP | it will fix your problem | 07:34 |
olskolirc | thanks SunnyDP you guys so rock | 07:34 |
cloud-nist | Anyone else have ideas as to why my audio gets stuck in a horrible sound till I reboot Ubuntu? | 07:34 |
SunnyDP | then you can edit your menu.lst | 07:34 |
SunnyDP | dont forget to confirm that it worked | 07:34 |

mimaki | how to install ncurses library? | 07:37 |
Cotowar | nickrud, I am in the main window. are you talking about in scanner > rename files & directories? | 07:37 |
olskolirc | uname -a still shows me kernel 11 and /boot/grub/menu.lst still shows version 11 and not 2.6.27-12-generic anyone? | 07:37 |
nsadmin | mimaki for what purpose | 07:37 |
mimaki | psybnc | 07:37 |
mimaki | i got an error | 07:37 |

=== kikkuli_ is now known as kikkuli | ||
mimaki | when i use make commands | 07:39 |
mimaki | when i use make command | 07:39 |
nsadmin | so you are compiling | 07:39 |
mimaki | yes | 07:39 |
nsadmin | you would need the -dev part of it then | 07:39 |
bangalibabu | i'm trying to use my motorola L7 mobile as a modem on ubuntu but ubuntu couldn't detect it as a modem, what do i do? i tried wvdialconf, but it failed came up with the message "...scanned serial ports, .......didn't detect any modem.........", but my phone is connected to usb port, please help me | 07:39 |

vlad | I whant to ask somf what is the diferention between instaling linux on a ntfs... whit wubi and instaling direct from the cd ? on his own type of hard is there enywhone able to answer my question | 07:41 |
nsadmin | you'll have to go to packages.ubuntu.com and search for the -dev part of it, then install that | 07:41 |
bangalibabu | i'm trying to use my motorola L7 mobile as a modem on ubuntu but ubuntu couldn't detect it as a modem, what do i do? i tried wvdialconf, but it failed came up with the message "...scanned serial ports, .......didn't detect any modem.........", but my phone is connected to usb port, please help me | 07:42 |
vlad | nsadmin: ? | 07:42 |
nsadmin | I don't answer those | 07:42 |
nsadmin | you'll have to specify a question | 07:42 |
IntuitiveNipple | use apt-cache search ncurses | 07:42 |
vlad | I think is a simple question ... what shod i install better wubi ? or from a cd ... and if i instal by wubi do i lose eny of rhe action of linux | 07:43 |
vlad | ? | 07:43 |
bangalibabu | is there anyone who can help me | 07:43 |
SunnyDP | just install directly to your HDD brother | 07:43 |
dark_abyss0 | can someone walk me though adding the universe and multiverse repositories? | 07:43 |
SunnyDP | it almost never fails :D | 07:44 |
nsadmin | vlad do you have unpartitioned space on the drive? or do you have spare drives? | 07:44 |
SunnyDP | dark: system-->admin-->soft sorces | 07:44 |
SunnyDP | :D | 07:44 |
IntuitiveNipple | vlad: wubi uses the Windows boot-loader and exists inside a file on the NTFS system, so there is a level of overhead in the NTFS > linux image translation. | 07:44 |
SunnyDP | check the 4 repos on top | 07:44 |
dark_abyss0 | I dont admin in system | 07:44 |
nsadmin | which would make it somewhat slower | 07:44 |
SunnyDP | administration ? | 07:44 |
SunnyDP | look PM me | 07:45 |
dark_abyss0 | nope | 07:45 |
vlad | nsadmin: i already instaled ubuntu ... but i whant to know if it is bad or good to be instaled on a ntfs... hard | 07:45 |
mattwj2002 | is it even possible to install Linux using only NTFS? | 07:45 |
nsadmin | I'd say bad... ntfs is an unknown moving target | 07:45 |
vlad | What can happen | 07:45 |
BWS | ntfs = bad.. | 07:45 |
IntuitiveNipple | vlad: It's just different. Nothing 'bad' or 'good' - it depends on what you need from it as a user. | 07:45 |
nsadmin | unknown | 07:45 |
bangalibabu | i'm trying to use my motorola L7 mobile as a modem on ubuntu but ubuntu couldn't detect it as a modem, what do i do? i tried wvdialconf, but it failed came up with the message "...scanned serial ports, .......didn't detect any modem.........", but my phone is connected to usb port, please help me | 07:46 |
mattwj2002 | bangalibabu have you tried the wiki? | 07:46 |
gimpuzmani_ | hi | 07:46 |
bangalibabu | not yet | 07:46 |
vlad | IntuitiveNipple: Nipple what can`t i do when linux is instaled on ntfs | 07:46 |
nsadmin | be independent of its influence? | 07:47 |
mattwj2002 | nothing on the wiki | 07:47 |
vlad | nsadmin: i am not the only user thats why i ask | 07:47 |
nsadmin | one thing you can do, is learn unix-style shell and commands | 07:47 |
scientes | whats the program in buuntu called that tells you what the package name is ? | 07:48 |
nsadmin | the only user of what? | 07:48 |
scientes | when you enter a command? | 07:48 |

coz_ | anyother suggestions? | 07:48 |
nsadmin | scientes: apt-file? | 07:48 |
vlad | IntuitiveNipple: hibernation? | 07:48 |
IntuitiveNipple | vlad: There is some useful answers on this page: http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php#requirements | 07:48 |
bangalibabu | i'm trying to use my motorola L7 mobile as a modem on ubuntu but ubuntu couldn't detect it as a modem, what do i do? i tried wvdialconf, but it failed came up with the message "...scanned serial ports, .......didn't detect any modem.........", but my phone is connected to usb port, please help me | 07:49 |
nsadmin | bangalibabu: you said that | 07:49 |
vlad | thanks IntuitiveNipple i am gona take a look now ... | 07:49 |
scientes | nsadmin, well it did it automatically whenever you entered a command that didnt exist | 07:49 |
nsadmin | anything you have learned since you last said that? | 07:49 |
vlad | nsadmin: thanks ... Brb | 07:49 |
IntuitiveNipple | vlad: look out for the "Any gotcha?" section | 07:49 |
bangalibabu | yes, didn't get the solution | 07:49 |
homeskill | Cotowar if you want to rename all your foo.wmv.mp3 files to just foo.mp3, 'sudo apt-get install mmv' and type something like: mmv '*\.wmv*' '#1#2' | 07:50 |
vlad | Ok IntuitiveNipple | 07:50 |
vlad | thank u | 07:50 |
nsadmin | bangalibabu: probably you will have to build a solution | 07:50 |
bangalibabu | how? | 07:50 |
mattwj2002 | bangalibabu have you tried google? | 07:51 |
nsadmin | no idea since I don't have the hardware you have | 07:51 |
cishpix | how can I make a backup for data in server | 07:51 |
bangalibabu | yes, from that i found a solution having learned about wvdialconf | 07:52 |
bangalibabu | but didn't work | 07:52 |
nsadmin | why didn't it work? how could you tell it didn't work? | 07:52 |
bangalibabu | because, ubuntu didn't detect my phone as a modem | 07:53 |
=== c is now known as Guest73617 | ||
nsadmin | maybe it would detect it as a network device instead | 07:53 |
scientes | nsadmin, its called command-not-found | 07:53 |
bobbie4_ | ubuntu | 07:54 |
pan_ | how do i determine subnet mask for IP 155.61.9.188? | 07:54 |
bangalibabu | but as nothing | 07:54 |
Limitt | hey anyone able to use mldonkey on Ubuntu? | 07:54 |
nsadmin | scientes: ok, so apt-file is another one | 07:54 |
mattwj2002 | pan_ you can't | 07:54 |
Limitt | I dont know how to get the core of mldonkey to work | 07:54 |
req^ | pan_: it's not possible to determine subnet just from an ip | 07:54 |
Limitt | I have the server installed but im not sure how to start it for mldonkey anyone know how? | 07:55 |
Cotowar | how do i cd to a directory with a space in the name? | 07:55 |
mattwj2002 | pan_ why do you ask? | 07:55 |
scientes | nsadmin, debians implamentation of command-not-found is based on apt-file | 07:55 |
Cotowar | i cant ever seem to remember | 07:55 |
pan_ | hw problem | 07:55 |
afd3dea | Cotowar, escape the space with a backslash or use quotes. | 07:55 |
scientes | nsadmin, i did research :) | 07:56 |
Cotowar | right | 07:56 |
pan_ | it gives me options | 07:56 |
IntuitiveNipple | Cotowar: cd dir\ with\ space or cd "dir with space" | 07:56 |
Cotowar | thanks | 07:56 |
nsadmin | scientes: very cool... | 07:56 |
pan_ | A. 255.0.0.0 B. 255.255.0.0 C. 255.255.255.0 D. 255.255.255.255 | 07:56 |
TruthTaco | how do i uninstall something if i cant find it on the add/remove | 07:56 |
scientes | nsadmin, but not ubuntus, which came first | 07:56 |
pan_ | supposedly questions states network adminstrator has not subnetted the netowrk | 07:56 |
pan_ | it asks what is computers subnet mask? | 07:56 |
quibbler | TruthTaco: use synaptic | 07:57 |
pan_ | O_O | 07:57 |
nsadmin | I thought the chicken came first! | 07:57 |
Cotowar | so i tried cd ./"name with space". did not work | 07:57 |
TruthTaco | thanks | 07:57 |
IntuitiveNipple | pan_: A sub-net mask depends on the range of addresses on the sub-net... for a 245 range it'd be a /24 (255.255.255.0) | 07:57 |
mattwj2002 | are you trying to get help with your homework pan_? | 07:57 |
pan_ | yes | 07:57 |
Cotowar | also tried cd "name with space" did not work. | 07:57 |
mattwj2002 | lol | 07:57 |
Limitt | how do you start the mldonkey server | 07:57 |
mattwj2002 | now now no cheating! | 07:57 |
olskolirc | lol pan_ | 07:57 |
IntuitiveNipple | Cotowar: cd name\ with\ space | 07:57 |
pan_ | ^^ | 07:57 |
prince_jammys | Cotowar: what's the name of the directory? | 07:57 |
Cotowar | lol, air supply | 07:58 |
afd3dea | Cotowar, my bad then, just use backslash to escape spaces. | 07:58 |
prince_jammys | there's nothing wrong with quoting. it's easier to read | 07:58 |
mattwj2002 | pan_ what class of IP is that IP address? | 07:58 |
Cotowar | so like cd directory\ name\ | 07:58 |
mattwj2002 | A B C D or E? | 07:58 |
pan_ | class B? | 07:58 |
mattwj2002 | yup | 07:58 |
IntuitiveNipple | Maybe it's classless? | 07:58 |
nsadmin | routing is classless these days | 07:59 |
pan_ | y is this important | 07:59 |
=== afd3dea is now known as burkmato | ||
mattwj2002 | well at least that tells you what subnets it can't be | 07:59 |
mattwj2002 | :) | 07:59 |
nsadmin | but d was not 255.255.255.255 | 07:59 |
mattwj2002 | *subnet mask | 07:59 |
illumin8 | if i change my swap settings to use another partition (that is formated as swap) in /etc/fstab will i encounter problems due to the uuid? | 07:59 |
Cotowar | hey, got it. oh, and to homeskill, thank you very much for the help | 07:59 |
IntuitiveNipple | pan_: See this: http://www.rhyshaden.com/ipadd.htm | 08:00 |
pan_ | k | 08:00 |
Cotowar | will mmv work recursively on sub directories? | 08:00 |
pan_ | thx for the help | 08:00 |
IntuitiveNipple | D is multicasting | 08:00 |
Chousuke | Cotowar: mv? yes. | 08:00 |
LaUd | hello everyone; is there an app to equalize my audio or make effects. rock pop etc. you know internally like stuff playing off the interner.. garagebands bebo myspace etc | 08:00 |
Cotowar | chousuke, its renaming my files, not moving them | 08:01 |
Chousuke | Cotowar: same thing :P | 08:01 |
Cotowar | mmk | 08:01 |
Chousuke | azlon: are you calling it right? | 08:01 |
Cotowar | thanks | 08:01 |
Cotowar | lets give it a go | 08:01 |
IntuitiveNipple | illumin8: no, not if you make sure fstab uses the new partition's uuid (you can get it using blkid) | 08:01 |
Chousuke | mv olddir newname | 08:01 |
nsadmin | LaUd look into linux audio developers | 08:01 |
illumin8 | IntuitiveNipple, thanks just saved me hours of headaches :D | 08:01 |
Limitt | wow this is bs | 08:01 |
Chousuke | mv olddir /some/other/place/newname | 08:01 |
homeskill | Cotowar for that i think you need to use find with it | 08:01 |
nsadmin | and perhaps you should try to get jack going | 08:02 |
Limitt | i got the mldonkey core to start | 08:02 |
Limitt | but I cant get the gui to connect to it | 08:02 |
Limitt | it keeps connecting and disconnecting | 08:02 |
Cotowar | so throw a find out front and it should be good? | 08:02 |
Chousuke | Cotowar: no. | 08:02 |
Chousuke | I don't see why you'd need find :/ | 08:02 |
Chousuke | mv will move the dir and its contents. | 08:02 |
illumin8 | IntuitiveNipple, if its on sda1 what would be the blkid command to retrieve the uuid? | 08:03 |
Cotowar | chousuke, i ran mmv '*\.wma*' "#1#2' on my top level directory, and nothing happened | 08:03 |
LaUd | nsadmin: thanks ill check jack out.. | 08:03 |
Limitt | screw jack | 08:03 |
Chousuke | Cotowar: mmv? :/ | 08:03 |
homeskill | Cotowar doesnt look like you can use find with mmv | 08:03 |
IntuitiveNipple | illumin8: If you're created the new swap (with mkswap /dev/sda1) you'd just do blkid /dev/sda1 | 08:03 |
Cotowar | hhmmm | 08:03 |
homeskill | you might wanna do it manually for each dir | 08:03 |
Chousuke | Cotowar: ah, seems like that is something else. :P | 08:04 |
nsadmin | that would be the basic audio routing that pro audio people like (presently many do not like alsa) | 08:04 |
LaUd | wow thanks nsadmin... jackeq.. just the thing | 08:04 |
Cotowar | i suppose i could do it one folder at a time, or cut + paste all files to one folder | 08:04 |
Limitt | jack is gay | 08:04 |
Flannel | Limitt: Please don't use that term pejoratively. | 08:04 |
Limitt | My Donkey does not want to work | 08:04 |
nsadmin | Limitt: so assume jack is calling you gay too... how does that hit you? | 08:04 |
Cotowar | that is going to take quite a bit of time though. i know there is a way to do this. I did it a couple weeks ago, but then transcoded my junk | 08:04 |
homeskill | cotowar or right a script that gathers all the dirnames then cd's to each dir and mmv's | 08:04 |
Cotowar | and now i have to do it again | 08:05 |
Limitt | i am happy right now | 08:05 |
illumin8 | IntuitiveNipple, Ah it looks like using the mkswap command showed me the uuid by defualt, I hadnt used it because i had prior formated the sda1 to linux swap. Thank you again for your help. | 08:05 |

nsadmin | oic, so gay is good... | 08:05 |
Cotowar | homeskill, you are on the right track with the find command. i can't remember what i was though that i used to rename in the first place | 08:05 |
gfather | hello guys | 08:05 |
ozzloy | how do i make a script that runs on resume/wake? | 08:05 |
nsadmin | and therefore you complement jack | 08:05 |

Cotowar | eh, whatever, i have to go to bed | 08:06 |
RussM | Cotowar, you are looking to rename a bunch of files to the same name w/o .wma in the middle, across a bunch of directories? | 08:06 |
Limitt | thanks | 08:06 |
Cotowar | right | 08:06 |

Limitt | for some reason my dang server does not work right | 08:06 |
RussM | I'll pastebin something in a minute. | 08:06 |
nsadmin | Flannel: fine, but you might want to backscroll and see if limitt has been trolling | 08:06 |
Limitt | i iinstalled from synaptic | 08:06 |
IntuitiveNipple | ozzloy: Add it to /etc/pm/sleep.d/ | 08:06 |
Cotowar | or rather, im trying to get their old names back before the .wma was stuck in the middle | 08:06 |
Limitt | im a troll im gonna get you .. bwaaa | 08:07 |
Flannel | nsadmin: Regardless of what he is, its not an invitation for you to be offtopic. | 08:07 |
IntuitiveNipple | gfather: It sounds like you may need to 'force' apt to fix things up a bit. Try sudo apt-get -f install | 08:07 |
homeskill | Cotowar it's more complicated to do things recursively. random example: find . -name '*.foo' -print0 | while read -r -d $'\0' f; do mv -- "$f" "${f%.foo}.bar" done | 08:07 |
homeskill | cotowar dont run that command though, it's not what you want without tweaking | 08:07 |
Cotowar | i know | 08:07 |
Cotowar | im trying to figure out what all the parts are | 08:08 |
Limitt | ehh im such a novice with this stuf | 08:08 |
gfather | IntuitiveNipple ok ill try it now | 08:08 |
nsadmin | you might pay attention to the greater offender. | 08:08 |
ozzloy | IntuitiveNipple: so if i put a script in there and make it executable, it will be executed when i resume from suspend and hibernate? | 08:08 |
Cotowar | the -name is what its looking for IE the name of the file | 08:08 |
Y-Town | anyone else having firefox crash issues with the latest updates? | 08:08 |
Cotowar | the *.foo is everything ending in .foo right? | 08:08 |
homeskill | Cotowar right and . means the current dir and all its subdirs | 08:08 |
Cotowar | okay | 08:08 |
sheldonh | aspell recognises words like participants (participant with the -s affix), but openoffice, x-chat, firefox and evolution do not. i get "Failure loading aff file /usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_ZA.aff" in .xsession-errors | 08:08 |
gfather | IntuitiveNipple i get errors | 08:08 |
Cotowar | what is the -print0? | 08:08 |
IntuitiveNipple | ozzloy: You may find some scripts already there to use as examples. They expect specific arguments so they can detect whether it is suspend or resume, and do the appropriate disable/enable actions as required | 08:09 |
kibibyte | hi | 08:09 |
kibibyte | i have problem | 08:09 |
homeskill | -print0 means it prints the filenames in a way that helps with filenames with spaces and nullbytes | 08:09 |
Limitt | i swry .. seriously though im about to pass out here its so late trying to figure this out.. should i just be able to install the server and kmldonkey and it should work? | 08:09 |
ozzloy | IntuitiveNipple: i did find a script in there! 00CPU looks helpful. thank you! | 08:09 |
Limitt | it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting over and over | 08:09 |
IntuitiveNipple | gfather: Can you copy the output you're seeing to a pastebin? | 08:09 |

saywatmang` | when I run compiz I get 'Root visual is not a GL visual', but xdpyinfo shows GLX in the extensions | 09:05 |

quibbler | adrenalyn: windows key | 09:08 |
SiDi | ari_stress, how do you know your cpu's heat ? (and btw if your pc is a notebook but doesnt seem "hot" then the sensor is probably crappy) | 09:08 |
saywatmang` | Favorit, no DRI in my xorg.conf | 09:08 |
saywatmang` | should I add it ? | 09:08 |

SiDi | ari_stress, ok thanks | 09:09 |
Favorit | ari_stress: sensors have to be configured most of the time to show real temps | 09:09 |

ari_stress | Favorit: oh how do i know the correct offset? currently it's zero | 09:10 |
Favorit | ari_stress: look at the type of your motherboard, read that link that ubottu just pasted for SiDi. | 09:10 |

ari_stress | Favorit: thanks for the link, i think i miss the sudo sensors-detect step | 09:14 |
Favorit | saywatmang: hmmz, nvidia sucked lately with their hw support undel linux.. so basically the problem is that compiz complains that there's no GL available? | 09:14 |
saywatmang | yea | 09:15 |
Favorit | saywatmang: and do you have "glx" module loaded in xorg.conf? | 09:15 |

saywatmang | yea I have Load "glx" | 09:15 |
Favorit | saywatmang: actually, you can just mail me your xorg.conf, or just paste it into privmsg, i'll have a look :) easier than asking for each and every line | 09:15 |

Baatti | Greetings, I'm strongly considering putting Windows Vista back on my computer :( but only in a very small partition. The reason being that I can't for the life of me get FFXI to run under Ubuntu. My question is, what's the best way for me to set up my partitions to have Ubuntu be my main OS? | 09:16 |
=== abyan is now known as abyan83 | ||
rww | !pastebin | Favorit: or they could use this... | 09:17 |
ubottu | Favorit: or they could use this...: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 09:17 |

Baatti | CTRL + ALT + arrow | 09:18 |

jedfox | I have problem with sound. My Sound Blaster Live doesn't play. | 09:18 |
lvlefisto | Viper111: configure Thunderbird to not use the proxy | 09:19 |
bz0b | anyone here use iwlagn driver? iwl5100 card in specific, im trying to inject packets but not working | 09:19 |
Baatti | ok, let me rephrase my question.... | 09:20 |
Favorit | saywatmang: any effect? | 09:20 |
remoteCTRL | bz0b: yeah i do, but what do you mean by inject packets? | 09:20 |
arooni | i back up /home/ nightly to a different drive; should i also be backing up /etc/ ? | 09:20 |
bz0b | remoteCTRL, like aircrack-ng suite to put it into monitor mode and inject packets | 09:20 |
remoteCTRL | arooni surely not a bad thing to do but nightly won't be necessary... | 09:21 |
bz0b | it goes into monitor mode no prob, but i can't get an auth. packet or inject packets | 09:21 |
Baatti | I have to restore out of box if I put Vista back on... so that'll format the harddrive and take up the whole thing...I want to run Ubuntu as my main OS, so, is it safe for me to install ubuntu from boot up, and choose to partition the hard drive to allow 85% or so to Ubuntu? That is to say, after Windows has been installed on the whole thing | 09:21 |
jedfox | I don't have sound in Ubuntu. Card: Sound Blaster 5.1 Live. I tried to use solves from forums, but it doesn't work. | 09:21 |
jimcooncat | arooni: yes, it's a good idea for the files that you customize | 09:21 |
remoteCTRL | bz0b: sorry dude but i have no clue what you're talking about:D | 09:21 |
arooni | remoteCTRL, how often? | 09:21 |
milligan_ | I have a flash drive reader. When I plug a CF into it, it isn't detected. Any ideas why ? | 09:21 |
bz0b | remoteCTRL, oh np, its for cracking wep | 09:21 |
arooni | how can i find out how big /etc/ is ? | 09:21 |
saywatmang | arooni, du -ks /etc | 09:22 |
ActionParsnip | milligan_: is it shown in: sudo fdisk -l | 09:22 |
milligan_ | arooni, du -hs /etc | 09:22 |
jimcooncat | arooni: du or baobab | 09:22 |
jedfox | I don't have sound in Ubuntu. Card: Sound Blaster 5.1 Live. I tried to use solves from forums, but it doesn't work. | 09:22 |
remoteCTRL | arooni well basically as often as you change something on some systems configurations, that won't be that often, right? (gnome preferences and so on are in the /h9ome directory...) | 09:22 |
milligan_ | ActionParsnip, no .. it isn't detected, so fdisk won't show it. | 09:22 |
arooni | does 22M seem right for /etc/ | 09:23 |
arooni | i thought it was MUCH BIGGER | 09:23 |
remoteCTRL | bz0b: yeah i know that's why i "have no clue" we are a support channel, not a hacker channel;) | 09:23 |
milligan_ | arooni, mine is 17MB | 09:23 |
ActionParsnip | milligan_: ok, then unplug it, wait a little, plug it back in, wait a liitle, then run: dmesg | tail | 09:23 |
arooni | where does ubuntu install software to? | 09:23 |
arooni | /var/ | 09:23 |
arooni | ? | 09:23 |
bz0b | remoteCTRL, lol i know but i need support to patch my driver. ;-) | 09:24 |
ActionParsnip | arooni: all over the place, apps use lots of shared libs so there is no Program Files folder like in windows | 09:24 |
crdlb | arooni: packages install all over the place, but mostly /usr | 09:24 |
remoteCTRL | arooni depends on what it is, also /usr/local /bin /usr/bin and so further.. | 09:24 |
bz0b | remoteCTRL, no biggie i just do it for the proof of concept, i am a net. admin for a pretty large wan, and i just like learning this stuff for on the side | 09:24 |
jedfox | I don't have sound in Ubuntu. Card: Sound Blaster 5.1 Live. I tried to use solves from forums, but it doesn't work. | 09:24 |
Favorit | btw, anyone knows of some good network-based backup that would just simply allow to back up files automagically from one machien to another with some kind of schedules and support of incremental backups? | 09:24 |
ActionParsnip | arooni: you can see where a single deb will install by extracting it but the app will have dependancies which will be in other places | 09:25 |
milligan_ | ActionParsnip, [612949.404021] usb 7-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6 [612949.812013] usb 7-1: device not accepting address 6, error -71 <- Could that be the CF ? | 09:25 |
remoteCTRL | bz0b: surely not a stoopid thing to do, yet still i can't help you on that cos i never had to "patch" that driver...;) | 09:25 |
ActionParsnip | arooni: you could download its dependancies to see where they go too but its a fairly pointless exercise | 09:25 |
SunnyDP | :'( | 09:25 |
banttu | I want to get the size of a partition using fdisk -s and pipe it to something so I can get it in human readable format | 09:25 |

banttu | Anybody with ideas? | 09:26 |
ActionParsnip | !sound | jedfox | 09:26 |
ubottu | jedfox: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 09:26 |
bz0b | remoteCTRL, np was just curious if anyone here had tried it since ubuntu is such a large part of the linux community and would think someone here would have my same wifi card and maybe tried to get into there own wireless network... :-) | 09:26 |
ActionParsnip | banttu: fdisk -s > ~/output.txt maybe | 09:26 |
Favorit | banttu: define human readable | 09:26 |
Favorit | banttu: fdisk -s gives pretty much human readable format, numbers :) | 09:27 |
remoteCTRL | bz0b: well i do get into my network but without haxx0ring it:D | 09:27 |

remoteCTRL | bz0b: hahahaha aye | 09:27 |
banttu | Favorit lol, I'd read something about using bc but I can't seem to get it working, its a tricky affair piping to bc | 09:28 |
Favorit | banttu: df -h / | tail -1 | awk '{print $2}' <- would this do? :) | 09:28 |
Favorit | banttu: replace / with other partition name for other partitions :) | 09:29 |
banttu | Favorit, I haven't mounted it, | 09:29 |
Favorit | banttu: ah, i see | 09:29 |
banttu | I could mount it but that would mean using fdisk would be obfuscated | 09:30 |

Favorit | banttu: yeah | 09:31 |
Dreamglider_ | i wish to costumise/translate the gnome clock for ubuntu, how would i go about doing this ? i take it i need the source right ? | 09:31 |
Dreamglider_ | I have no knowledge of source editing, but i think it's time :) could anyone point me in the right direction ? | 09:32 |
scizzo- | Dreamglider_: most of the time this is translated from the gnome project | 09:32 |
scizzo- | Dreamglider_: I would suggest you go to the gnome website to check for the translation team or on ubuntu website for the same.... | 09:33 |
scizzo- | Dreamglider_: all information you need to get started with contribution should be available on those sites | 09:33 |
banttu | Ok. Lemmi ask it different | 09:33 |
Dreamglider_ | allright thanks :) | 09:33 |
crdlb | Dreamglider_: all you want to do is translate it? | 09:33 |
banttu | Say you have a command that returns a number | 09:34 |
Favorit | banttu: this would be another option: parted -s /dev/sda1 print | grep " 1" | awk '{print $3}' | 09:34 |
Dreamglider_ | crdlb: as a first step yes | 09:34 |
Favorit | banttu or even parted -s /dev/sda1 print | grep "^Disk" | awk '{print $2}' | 09:35 |
Favorit | banttu: $3 that is | 09:35 |
crdlb | Dreamglider_: localisation can be done without touching the source code, but "customisation" outside of the settings offered cannot be | 09:35 |

primski | ActionParsnip - its an update - i always install updates - ur telling me this is wrong ? | 10:06 |
Dreamglider | abt 20 minutes | 10:06 |
ActionParsnip | RudeBoi: depends on how fast the packages will come down | 10:06 |
Dreamglider | 30min perhaps | 10:06 |
primski | perhaps i should just disable proposed repo - but still updates are to be installed | 10:06 |
mchelen | depends on system and net connection | 10:06 |
Sucksbuntu | jsut trying to looks like windows cause ppl doens't know what's linux | 10:06 |

Dreamglider | ActionParsnip: it takes some cpu power to setup all the new packages does it not ? | 10:09 |
ActionParsnip | Dreamglider: you could be running a CRAY with 200 CPUs an 40Tb of RAM on a 28.8Kbps modem and it'd update slower, but te cray is several billion times faster than your system | 10:09 |
mchelen | well there are two phases of upgrade, download and then install | 10:09 |
ActionParsnip | Dreamglider: once its down its all the cpu, but the vast bulk of time is usually downloading | 10:09 |
Dreamglider | ok ok | 10:09 |

p1oooop | AP, I kinda tried the guide on the ubuntu help website | 10:34 |
ActionParsnip | distant_voice: does the system have 2 harddrives in it? | 10:35 |
distant_voice | ActionParsnip yes it does | 10:35 |
moniker127 | How would I go about finding whether i'm using 64 bit or 32 bit ubuntu? | 10:35 |
mick02 | Aldus, I'm not sure I understand. If you set up your alias to be cd /var/www/ then all you would need to do is to type goto mydir as the alias goto is cd /var/www/ | 10:35 |
Aldus | thank you fosco_ your solution works | 10:35 |
ActionParsnip | p1oooop: you can tab complete my name. makes it highlight like i'm highlighting yours | 10:35 |
fosco_ | moniker127: uname -m | 10:35 |
ActionParsnip | distant_voice: has someone been messing with bios settings? | 10:35 |
Aldus | I made it with alias goto="cd /var/www/$1" | 10:35 |
ActionParsnip | Aldus: use ' not " | 10:35 |
InCrypto_work | type in sudo init 6 | 10:35 |
Aldus | ok, why ? | 10:36 |
moniker127 | returns i686, im assuming that means 32? | 10:36 |
B|ackPanther | i have executed this instruction and i want to move back if its possible : http://paste.ubuntu.com/119159/ | 10:36 |
ActionParsnip | Aldus: thats how it is, read the other alias lines in the file | 10:36 |
InCrypto_work | nah don do tht .. u wud hate me then | 10:36 |
fosco_ | moniker127: yes, 32bits | 10:36 |
distant_voice | ActionParsnip no, I thought of that too, but no, I may have to doublecheck this though | 10:36 |
Aldus | ok... thanks | 10:36 |
ActionParsnip | moniker127: yes, i686 = 32bit. x86_64 = 64bit | 10:36 |
gldtn | ActionParsnip, sudo apt-get --force-all package? | 10:36 |
distant_voice | ActionParsnip is there any other possible explanation for this? | 10:36 |
mick02 | Aldus check out http://pastebin.com/ffc35342 | 10:36 |
gldtn | ActionParsnip, sudo apt-get --force-all package? | 10:36 |
p1oooop | ActionParsnip thanks.. | 10:36 |
moniker127 | does ubuntu have the same memory limitation of windows where it can only address something like 3 gigs with 32? | 10:36 |
ActionParsnip | gldtn: sudo dpkg --force-all -r <package name> | 10:37 |
mchelen | yeah but i think its more like 6gb | 10:37 |
gldtn | oh | 10:37 |
Boohbah | moniker127: no, just enable highmem support in the kernel | 10:37 |
ActionParsnip | p1oooop: makes it less confusing in a channel af 1400 | 10:37 |
[OES] | Hi All | 10:37 |
p1oooop | lol | 10:37 |
fosco_ | moniker127: yes and not, by default 32bits kernels can only allocate 3.5gb of ram | 10:37 |
Manas | no audio only video on vlc player...why? | 10:37 |
=== _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde | ||
vinkki | or can someone say if that "you have new email" is a evolution or ubuntu "feature" ? | 10:37 |
Boohbah | moniker127: yeah depends on how many bits you have for memory addressing | 10:37 |
moniker127 | well, i only have 4 gigs, maybe its just easier to format and install 64 or not bother | 10:37 |
ActionParsnip | fosco_: true, but the server 32bit kernel + ram partitioning can go a little higher | 10:38 |
shinoj | Manas can you hear sound otherwise? | 10:38 |
[OES] | Im trying to edit /etc/network/interfaces with vim but its not allowing me to save. its saying add ! to override ?? | 10:38 |
fosco_ | moniker127: but you can recompile your kernel with HIMEM support and get rid of that limitation | 10:38 |
fosco_ | moniker127: you'd better install 64bits ubuntu | 10:38 |
B|ackPanther | and this has messed up my vm so i want to change back. | 10:38 |
Manas | shinoj, i say on audio..only video...on vlc | 10:38 |
ForeverSmurf | My desktop system regularly hangs at the moment for a few seconds and then it becomes responsive again. I am looking for some clever suggestions in how to identify the problem | 10:38 |
ActionParsnip | [OES]: you dont override, that would make the whole OS hugely insecure | 10:38 |
lvlefisto | moniker127: some software are not available for 64 bit ubuntu, let's say for example, java plugin for mozilla | 10:38 |
ForeverSmurf | E.g: how do I know if it is X and not the kernel, etc... | 10:38 |
gldtn | ActionParsnip, same error as the first.. not found.. I tried to run nautilus as root and going to the folder but it does no exist | 10:38 |
Manas | totally no sound on ubuntu | 10:39 |
moniker127 | fosco, i'm not even going to bother with that. it isnt as easy for me as it is for you | 10:39 |
p1oooop | is this working? Action | 10:39 |
[OES] | So how do I update my network then | 10:39 |
ActionParsnip | [OES]: you need to use sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces | 10:39 |
[OES] | I am ActionParsnip | 10:39 |
[OES] | Im trying to get out of it | 10:39 |
Dreamglider | who would i go about editing the source of the clock in the gnome panel ? | 10:39 |
shinoj | Manas, i am asking are you able to hear the sound in any other application? start up sound? | 10:39 |
ActionParsnip | [OES]: the file is not writable by normal users so needs sudo or gksudo if you use apps like gedit | 10:39 |
[OES] | im in as sudo | 10:39 |
ActionParsnip | [OES]: try: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces | 10:40 |
mick02 | ActionParsnip, perhaps you could help me with something, I've got 2 HDD's installed, one runs a web server and the other runs Webmin. When I installed Webmin it wrote over my menu.lst, no matter what I do I can't figure out how to get the original menu.lst back. I've read lots of article online but so far I can't get both OS's to show up in the grub menu. Have you any ideas for me to try? | 10:40 |
Manas | shinoj, no | 10:40 |
distant_voice | ActionParsnip, well thanks for the links and the replys. I'll try to figure out the rest myself | 10:40 |
ActionParsnip | !grub | mick02 | 10:40 |

shinoj | Manas try to install alsa | 10:41 |
Manas | how? | 10:41 |
shinoj | Manas alsa latest from their website | 10:41 |
Manas | how | 10:41 |
shinoj | Manas you have to compile it | 10:41 |
Manas | i have compaq laptop | 10:41 |
fosco_ | Dreamglider: editing source code is not usual in ubuntu, are you sure you need to do that? | 10:41 |
ActionParsnip | mick02: you just need to add an extra option to one of the menu.lst file for the other hard drive, the one you choose will also need grub writing to the boot sector which is what the guide for windows overwriting the boot sector will help with | 10:41 |
mick02 | [OES] if you type sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces then make your changes then type :wq what happens to the file? | 10:41 |

fde | crdlb: radeon shouldn't need to be modprobe'd its part of DRI | 11:12 |
bhaka | How to install Ubuntu with a USB stick? | 11:12 |
kyledr | crdlb: reboot again? | 11:12 |
crdlb | kyledr: it happens at boot via linux-restricted-modules | 11:12 |
fde | jaapvisser: you should really just leave out the -t option altogether and let the command figure out the fs | 11:12 |
X-tremAl_Raven | With new kernel connection to my usb modem stopped working. | 11:12 |
fde | !usb stick | 11:12 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about usb stick | 11:13 |
crdlb | fde: meh, I knew that :P | 11:13 |
ActionParsnip | X-tremAl_Raven: does the modemshow up in lsusb? | 11:13 |
p1oooop | hey anyone know how to change a config file that is "owned" by root? | 11:13 |
ActionParsnip | p1oooop: sudo for command line based, gksudo for gnome based | 11:13 |
p1oooop | I see | 11:14 |
ActionParsnip | p1oooop: sudo nano /path/to/file | 11:14 |
p1oooop | ActionParsnip: I see | 11:14 |
fde | bhaka: Umm, System > Administration > Create a USB boot disc | 11:14 |
ActionParsnip | p1oooop: or gksudo gedit /path/to/file | 11:14 |
p1oooop | ActionParsnip: thanks | 11:14 |
ActionParsnip | p1oooop: np man | 11:14 |
fde | !usb-creator | 11:14 |

p1oooop | ActionParsnip: so does it work with all conf. file types? | 11:14 |
p1oooop | hey, I'm also looking for info on USB creator | 11:15 |
jaapvisser | fde is i do a mount without the -t command i get : mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 11:15 |
jaapvisser | did try : -t ext2, ext3, jfs, reiserfs all fail | 11:15 |
ActionParsnip | p1oooop: literally any file, if you want to edit the images in /usr/share/pixmaps (without copying the file first) you must use gksudo <some graphics package> | 11:15 |

p1oooop | ActionParsnip: lokkee here *(&^^ I;m freaking usiing the computer without a mouse... | 11:17 |

Viper111 | how can i write an iptable command in order to allow smtp | 11:17 |
ActionParsnip | !iptables | 11:18 |
ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 11:18 |
p1oooop | ActionParsnip: sometimes older things are better.... | 11:18 |
B|ackPanther | Does this error "could not exec /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx :Exec format error " mean i dont have permission to execute the file ? | 11:18 |
fde | bhaka: haven't tried it myself, honestly, but it should be what you want... there is also 'uck' which might be better for you? not installed by default though (might be new to jaunty too idk) | 11:18 |
ActionParsnip | B|ackPanther: run: file /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx | 11:18 |
p1oooop | ActionParsnip: great life lesson I learned | 11:18 |
kyledr | it happened again with the dri not loading and fglrx loading.... dkpg started fglrx i think? | 11:19 |
kyledr | i did the modprobe -r fglrx and modprobe radeon | 11:19 |
fde | kyledr: dpkg doesn't start anything | 11:19 |
kyledr | then restarted | 11:19 |
B|ackPanther | ActionParsnip : i dont understand | 11:19 |
kyledr | fde: well fglrx started right below a line about dpkg | 11:20 |
X_A_R | ActionParsnip: Sorry, disconnected. Did you say something after you asked about lsusb? | 11:20 |
fde | kyledr: ensure that fglrx isn't in /etc/modules or in any of the files in /etc/modprobe.d/ (just comment it out if it is) | 11:20 |
ActionParsnip | B|ackPanther: its a terminal command. 'file' is the command '/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx' is the argument | 11:20 |
ActionParsnip | B|ackPanther: the command in full is: file /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx | 11:20 |
X_A_R | ActionParsnip: My last message was: But dmesg show: usb 5-2: no configuration chosen from 1 choice | 11:20 |
ActionParsnip | X_A_R: you will need to websearch those outputs you found which i'm sure will turn up some gold | 11:20 |
p1oooop | wow... pigdin just died | 11:21 |
ActionParsnip | B|ackPanther: it tells you what sort of file it is | 11:21 |
p1oooop | I was doing my jfkldas; chant | 11:21 |
kyledr | how can i prevent fglrx from loading and making radeon load? | 11:21 |
p1oooop | LOL | 11:21 |
ActionParsnip | kyledr: blacklist it | 11:21 |
kyledr | ActionParsnip: why would it want to start anyway? | 11:21 |
nagatzul | Good afternoon everyone :) I got a problem that is recurring on other Ubuntu puters too, when I record sound I get a loud noise that sounds like a slow fan... Any idea why? | 11:21 |
fde | kyledr: I just told you... but there is no radeon module... its part of DRI | 11:21 |
ActionParsnip | kyledr: no idea | 11:21 |
amstrad83 | anyone for me or just anyone can undeerstand my prob | 11:21 |
p1oooop | ActionParsnip: I just found a flaw within pigdin | 11:21 |

kyledr | fde: so what do i load if i want the open source ati driver to be loaded? | 11:22 |
fde | kyledr: it'll be loaded automatically via dri :/ | 11:22 |
kyledr | fde: ok thanks | 11:23 |
p1oooop | ah vmware... the one thing that totally ruined my gaming comp... LOL JK | 11:23 |
kyledr | fglrx being loaded despite not being installed bugs me a bit though | 11:23 |
X_A_R | ActionParsnip: Your search - "ZyXEL Communications Corp" "no configuration chosen from " - did not match any documents. :(((( | 11:23 |
fde | kyledr: have to select 'radeon' as xorg Driver though... just throw 'blacklist fglrx' into any file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and it shouldn't be loaded again - then ensure xserver-xorg-driver-fglrx isn't installed (dpkg -l | grep fglrx as an easy check) | 11:24 |
ActionParsnip | X_A_R: search for the usb identifier | 11:24 |
p1oooop | well... going to sleep and loosing mounds of data laters guys | 11:24 |
kyledr | i may have gotten it via insmod, so how do i undo what insmod does? | 11:24 |
fde | kyledr: something from fglrx is definitely installed currently. | 11:24 |
X_A_R | ActionParsnip: "ZyXEL Communications Corp" - that was it | 11:24 |
fde | kyledr: you've been told 3 times now. you blacklist it. | 11:25 |
fde | kyledr: insmod is just a lowerlevel interface to modprobe | 11:25 |
fde | Do not play with it unless you know what you're doing. | 11:25 |
ActionParsnip | X_A_R: if you look slightly before that you will see some hex didgits | 11:25 |
fde | (same with rmmod) | 11:25 |
kyledr | fde: i did blacklist it, but it seems like a band-aid rather than the answer | 11:26 |
ActionParsnip | X_A_R: e.g. ID 0424:2228 | 11:26 |
amstrad83 | Does anyone why if i restart with ctrl+alt+del after i modify my xorg file to use dual view my pc is ok, but if i restart fisically or i shutdown i need to move back at the original xorg or i get a black screen? | 11:26 |
ActionParsnip | X_A_R: if you search for the hex didgits you may come up with something. Those are from my pc so won't help you | 11:26 |
nagatzul | Good afternoon everyone :) I got a problem that is recurring on other Ubuntu puters too, when I record sound I get a loud noise that sounds like a slow fan... Any idea why? | 11:26 |
kyledr | i found the fglrx module in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/update/dkms/fglrx.ko i remember fglrx starting at boot under dkms. what's dkms? | 11:26 |
fde | kyledr: the answer is to ensure nothing related to fglrx is currently installed... via dpkg -l | grep fglrx ... blacklisting is not a bandaid, it is a very proper way to configure udev | 11:26 |
X_A_R | ActionParsnip: Same results. | 11:27 |

nagatzul | n2diy: it ain't there in Vista | 11:28 |
fde | kyledr: Dynamic Kernel Module System... it allows for binary drivers to maintain functionality through kernel updates | 11:28 |
ActionParsnip | X_A_R: then id run lsmod > ~/bad.txr then boot to the working kernel and run lsmod > ~/good.txt and compare | 11:28 |

kyledr | dpks -l|grep fglrx says "rc xorg-driver-fglrx 2:8.573-0ubuntu1" | 11:29 |

n2diy | nagatzul: A module is what Windows folks call a driver. | 11:30 |
fde | kyledr: yeah, sudo aptitude purge xserver-xorg-driver-fglrx - then xorg won't keep trying to load that driver. | 11:30 |

mjfcolas | #ubuntu-fr | 11:36 |
nagatzul | n2diy: The act of clicking the voiceclip button in amsn | 11:36 |
ActionParsnip | fde: all i can see is that it does the equiv of autoremove when you uninstall which is no big woop | 11:37 |
nagatzul | n2diy: *sigh* This is getting worse, now aMsn closed down instead when I clicked it... | 11:37 |
fde | ActionParsnip: I can say 'in packages that are part of gnome, search for this string' ... so I don't have to sit through scrolling text while it returns everything apt-cache would decide to spew at me | 11:38 |
nagatzul | n2diy: Lemme just try the recorder in ubuntu first :P | 11:38 |
ActionParsnip | fde: thats why we grep :) | 11:38 |

delly | hi | 11:39 |
nagatzul | n2diy: Don't think so, however I noticed that it's fine in the regular recorder so it's an aMsn issue instead.. | 11:39 |
ActionParsnip | fde: im comfortable with grep, plus i dont have to install an extra app | 11:39 |
fde | ActionParsnip: aptitude is installed by default | 11:39 |
ActionParsnip | fde: but i can see your point but I use my systems for the same stuff so I know exactly what needs to be on them | 11:39 |
ActionParsnip | fde: i always remove it as well as getdeb and adpept-notifier | 11:40 |

Favorit | windows, too | 11:41 |
ActionParsnip | fde: i never said what yo should or shouldnt use, just the advantages you say that aptitude has arent really anything over apt for me | 11:41 |
Boohbah | delly: but if you s/windows/linux/ then it is workable | 11:42 |
fde | ActionParsnip: lol... thats cuz most new features of apt-get and apt-cache come directly from modifications to libapt due to aptitude | 11:42 |
Favorit | apt forever. I'm using debian distro's for like 15 years now, i always get lost in damn aptitude | 11:42 |
n2diy | nagatzul: ok, I'm not familiar witht aMsn, but if that seems to be the problem, sniff on that. Could it be a connection issue? | 11:42 |

delly | i have unstall wamp on ubuntu but this is not working properperly | 11:43 |
ActionParsnip | fde: im not talking about where anything is derived from. I just cant see why i need aptitude and apt if apt does everything. You say it has advantages and from what you have explained its still and previously was a pointless application to me, thats all i'm saying | 11:43 |

radu | hi | 11:44 |
lvlefisto | I have now pulseaudio working for skype and realplayer except for the mic on skype. I have it using ALSA. Does anyone know how to make the mic work with pulseaudio? | 11:44 |
ActionParsnip | fde: do you see my point? | 11:44 |
lvlefisto | The problem is when i select pulseaudio in the input device it doesn't record almost any sound. | 11:44 |
Favorit | fde: I know that they are frontends, but I've always made what I wanted to achieve with apt faster than figuring out aptitude or dselect | 11:44 |
erUSUL | DGRick: with your text editor of choice using sudo | 11:44 |
fde | ActionParsnip: No. | 11:45 |
Favorit | nagatzul: send? when you send soundclip it shouldn't be playing it really | 11:45 |
nagatzul | Favorit: Oh it doesn't, it's just when I play it up myself, or the reciever clicks it, it's like, my voice and a distinct "I just shoved the mic into the spinning fan" kind of sound | 11:45 |
ActionParsnip | fde: to me aptitude offers nothing more and I asked you to explain the advantages and from what you said, its what i already do with an extra command which is fine for me. so its still a dead app to me | 11:46 |
Favorit | nagatzul: and what is your default mediaplayer that aMsn tries to invoke? | 11:46 |
fde | Favorit: aptitude shares most of the cli commands with apt-get and apt-cache, with a few more thrown in to make life easier... if you know apt-get there is no learning curve to using aptitude | 11:46 |
ActionParsnip | fde: ive been waiting for someone who uses it instead of apt to find out the difference | 11:46 |
nagatzul | Favorit: Good question, I have no clue :P | 11:46 |
ActionParsnip | fde: thats all, then you started going on about features and thinking i told you what to use which was bizarre | 11:46 |
Spark | what's the point of using aptitude on the commandline? | 11:46 |
Spark | it coexists perfectly with apt-get | 11:47 |
Boohbah | Favorit: This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers. | 11:47 |

fde | Favorit: before aptitude, I used to use deborphan and debfoster to manage some of the same things that aptitude does for me... that apt-get can now do the same is irrelevant because I still like the more advanced functions of aptitude (like trying to solve dep issues for me, instead of just giving me a useless error) | 11:47 |
Boohbah | Spark: i've heard that it sometimes resolves complex dependencies better than apt-get alone. | 11:47 |
Spark | on the command line? | 11:47 |
niyado | hello | 11:47 |
azzarev | Someone know some application to create internet point with ubuntu? | 11:48 |
Spark | as soon as i get a dependency problem i want to sort it out myself though :) | 11:48 |
Favorit | fde: well, let's put it this way - i never felt the need to learn anything else than apt :) it's prolly easier, better, faster, whatnot, I just hate having to browse through gui that _is_ default. And I've never had the need to look for keys that disable gui when basically apt always did the trick without any hassle with guis and disabling those | 11:48 |
ActionParsnip | azzarev: do you mean a web proxy? | 11:48 |
Boohbah | azzarev: what is an internet point? | 11:48 |
niyado | i need to know what is the command to put the ubuntustudio environment in ubuntu main | 11:48 |
Spark | as it's usually me who caused it in the first place | 11:48 |
azzarev | internet cafe | 11:48 |
Favorit | fde: it's pretty much the same as some people have emacs as their default shell. They're used to it, they can't live without :-) | 11:48 |
fde | Favorit: the tui is not default... it is just what you end up with if you don't read the man page | 11:48 |
ActionParsnip | Favorit: thats kinda my point, i thought itd be cool to see how the other half lived but it appears to ffer no extra features as far as I can see | 11:49 |
Favorit | fde: it's not the default? | 11:49 |
Spark | aptitude is more about browsing deep through dependencies, it's a gui, if you know exactly what you want it's quicker to just apt-get install blah or whatever | 11:49 |
Boohbah | niyado: sudo su -c 'echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio feisty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list' | 11:49 |
Boohbah | niyado: wget -q http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update | 11:49 |
Favorit | fde: install default debian/ubuntu, do NOT read any manpages, tweak any configs. type aptitude. You don't get tui? | 11:49 |
Boohbah | niyado: s/feisty/whatever/ | 11:49 |
Favorit | that's one hell of an interesting default install you got there then | 11:49 |
fde | Favorit: yes... but I've never typed aptitude by itself because I read man pages for all commands before I hit enter. | 11:50 |
ActionParsnip | fde: Favorit: each to their own but its nice to see what else there is | 11:50 |
azzarev | I'm looking for an application to create a complete internet cafe. I have tried Openkiosk but it doesn't work.. any Idea? | 11:50 |
nagatzul | Favorit: How do I check ? | 11:50 |
ActionParsnip | azzarev: you can run an ubuntu box as a router | 11:51 |
Favorit | fde that's another point. in an ideal posix world we have no tui's/gui's and we get syntax help after hitting commands :) (yeah, spank me up and call me charlie) | 11:51 |
Favorit | nagatzul: let me have a look, moment | 11:51 |
fde | aptitude = dselect deborphan debfoster apt-get apt-cache and automatic issue resolving built into one command. | 11:51 |
ActionParsnip | azzarev: you need to be specific | 11:51 |
Favorit | apt = knowledge of package structure and package manager without having to depend on presence of various tools :) | 11:51 |
azzarev | ActionParsnip: I need to manage an internet cafe: credit, time, user. 6 client and 1 server | 11:52 |
fde | Most every apt-get command you've ever seen is applicable to aptitude | 11:52 |
* Favorit is bucking up and preparing for holy war. Whjeee, drama! :) | 11:52 | |
Boohbah | ActionParsnip: http://openkiosk.sourceforge.net/ | 11:52 |
Boohbah | azzarev: openkiosk looks good. why does it not work for you? | 11:53 |
azzarev | Boohbah: I have tried openkiosk, but during compile some file is missed | 11:53 |
Favorit | nagatzul: hit Ctrl-P | 11:53 |
Favorit | nagatzul: go to "other" tab | 11:53 |
Favorit | nagatzul: look at sound server settings | 11:54 |
azzarev | Boohbah: I think the is not complete at this time | 11:54 |
Favorit | nagatzul: by default it uses aplay which probably sucks ass :) | 11:54 |
Boohbah | azzarev: you will probably need to install qt dev libraries | 11:54 |
ActionParsnip | Boohbah: aim it at azzarev | 11:54 |
blakesu | hi, everybody | 11:54 |
ActionParsnip | !info openkiosk | 11:54 |
ubottu | Package openkiosk does not exist in intrepid | 11:54 |
ActionParsnip | azzarev: did you get all the dependancies of it? | 11:54 |
Boohbah | looks semi-proprietary. | 11:54 |
azzarev | yes during ./configure and make all is fine | 11:55 |
azzarev | when I make install I miss some file | 11:55 |
nagatzul | Favorit: aplay $sound is what it says | 11:55 |
ActionParsnip | azzarev: then you dont have the dependancys of the compilation | 11:55 |
ActionParsnip | azzarev: which you can install in | 11:55 |
ActionParsnip | azzarev: did you search for a guide on the forums to install the app? | 11:56 |
anaislaclerc | Does anyone know how I can get my wireless adapter working on ubuntu minimal install? It works automatically on regular ubuntu automatically | 11:56 |
azzarev | ActionParsnip: yes I did, i followed step by step | 11:56 |
fde | azzarev: you are using KDE? ask in #kde - there is a tool they've put together that makes internet cafe's pretty easy to set up... also, there are things like pessulus for gnome | 11:57 |
nagatzul | Favorit: So what should I change to? | 11:57 |
fde | azzarev: neither comes with any way to do time-based access though... there is something on kde-apps that does that however, idk about for gnome though | 11:58 |
ActionParsnip | azzarev: seems to use QT libs which are part of kde, do you have the QTlibs installed? | 11:58 |
azzarev | fde: I have used KDe too.. ActionParsnip: QT libs are installed correctly | 11:58 |
fde | azzarev: openkiosk only works with kde | 11:58 |
fde | azzarev: well, kde and windows | 11:59 |
ActionParsnip | azzarev: do you have the -dev packages for each of the libs it uses? | 11:59 |
Aeosynth | how do i get synaptic's quick search to see non-ubuntu packages? | 11:59 |
Favorit | nagatzul: hmm, could try that built-in tcl library to see if it will help any | 11:59 |
nagatzul | Favorit: It didn't | 11:59 |
anaislaclerc | meow? | 11:59 |
ActionParsnip | Aeosynth: they will all be ubuntu packages? | 11:59 |
azzarev | fde: so I try to compile again ande KDE. ActionParsnip: All libs says are OK! | 11:59 |
Aeosynth | ActionParsnip: well, the ones without the ubuntu symbol | 12:00 |
Favorit | nagatzul: to be honest with all due respect to Alvaro, TCL isn't the best language to write msn in ;) | 12:00 |
ActionParsnip | azzarev: then if you pastebin the compile error we may be able to advise | 12:00 |
fde | azzarev: yes, you'll need all the kde -dev packages that that software requires | 12:00 |
azzarev | fde: ok I do now. | 12:00 |
ActionParsnip | Aeosynth: i dont use synaptic myself but now thats clearer maybe someone else can advise | 12:00 |
Favorit | nagatzul: and if you type "aplay <thatfile.mp3>" or whatever you try to play in amsn, does it sound ok, or also with distortion? | 12:00 |
fde | azzarev: note that just having the libs won't cut it... for compiling you _require_ the -dev package | 12:01 |
Favorit | nagatzul: i.e. type that in shell, not in amsn | 12:01 |
Aeosynth | how do i get rid of system beeps? they're very frequent, loud, and annoying on this laptop | 12:01 |
fde | Aeosynth: gnome? | 12:01 |
azzarev | fde: ok, thanks. I try. | 12:01 |
Aeosynth | fde: yes. ubuntu 8.10 | 12:01 |
fde | Aeosynth: System > Preferences > Sound ... under the Sounds tab | 12:02 |
fde | Aeosynth: just uncheck that stuff, then your system is a lot less annoying :) | 12:02 |
Sw3RvE | how do i get rid of those beeps on xubuntu? | 12:03 |
anaislaclerc | nobody knows how I can get my wireless adepter working? | 12:03 |
Aeosynth | fde: thanks! :) | 12:03 |
fde | Sw3RvE: no idea, look in their config editor tool under the sound preferences | 12:03 |
anaislaclerc | I heard you can get rid of system beeps with the alsa mixer | 12:04 |
Sw3RvE | i tried the way previously mentioned for Aeosynth but i dont have that option. | 12:04 |
fde | anaislaclerc: if you mute sound, perhaps? but otherwise no | 12:04 |
Aeosynth | how do i get synaptic's quick search to see packages not maintained by canonical (ie no ubuntu icon)? | 12:04 |
fde | Sw3RvE: you won't... but there will be something similar... just look around, I haven't used XFce in like 3 years | 12:05 |
anaislaclerc | fde: yeah, I think they have a tab for system sound so you can just mute that | 12:05 |
fde | anaislaclerc: not in alsamixer they don't | 12:05 |
Sw3RvE | i found sound... they only have like 5 or 6 checkboxes in there tho | 12:05 |
Mindpoke | anaislaclerc You can disable the system beeps by just disabling the pcspkr module | 12:06 |
quibbler | Aeosynth, add other reproś to your source list | 12:06 |
Sw3RvE | what is master and pcm (sound) | 12:06 |
Sw3RvE | im assuming master means any sound including the music im listening to. | 12:06 |
groogy | Yo! I want to install a certain package available in the repository though the 32bit version. Can I do that trough synaptic? | 12:07 |
ActionParsnip | groogy: you can install 32bit apps on 64bit as long as you have ia32 libs | 12:07 |
kamyk | Witam all | 12:07 |
Sw3RvE | 64 bit ftw :) | 12:07 |
groogy | Yeh, but how do I find the package? :( | 12:07 |
Favorit | apt-cache search :P | 12:08 |
ActionParsnip | groogy: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs | 12:08 |
kamyk | hi all | 12:08 |
kamyk | i have a small problem ;D | 12:08 |
groogy | I have already installed that package... Though I want the mysqlclient library in 32bit | 12:08 |
groogy | I can't find the package | 12:08 |
Favorit | kamyk: we all have some small problems, that's why we're all on IRC. Don't be afraid to share it with us! :) | 12:08 |
kamyk | so | 12:09 |
kamyk | i ff3 | 12:09 |
ActionParsnip | groogy: search the ubuntu package list and download the 32bit deb you need | 12:09 |
kamyk | ;> | 12:09 |
groogy | searcj the ubuntu package list.. You mean like on launchpad? | 12:09 |
fde | groogy: dpkg -L ia32-libs ... it doesn't install any binaries. | 12:09 |
ActionParsnip | groogy: then use: sudo dpkg --force-arch -i <deb file> | 12:09 |
Aeosynth | quibbler: I'm talking about the package available by default in a new ubuntu install which don't have the ubuntu icon next to them. I don't need to modify my source list in order to install them | 12:09 |
Aeosynth | packages* | 12:09 |
kamyk | ?? | 12:10 |
fde | groogy: you can only install 32bit stuff on a 64bit system via the ia32-<package> packages though... apt-get doesn't currently support multiarch | 12:10 |
ActionParsnip | groogy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/net/ | 12:10 |
quibbler | Aeosynth, sorry i misunderstood | 12:10 |
groogy | Thanks for the help, let's hope I can find it :P | 12:10 |
Favorit | kamyk: did i miss your question? or what does "i ff3" mean? | 12:10 |
kamyk | no no | 12:11 |
Sw3RvE | is there any easy way to get open office 3.0? | 12:11 |
kamyk | so | 12:11 |
kamyk | fire fox 3 ;) | 12:11 |
kamyk | firefox* 3 | 12:11 |
Favorit | yes, fire fox 3 | 12:11 |
kamyk | and | 12:11 |
Aeosynth | quibbler: np. do you know how to get them searched by quick-search? | 12:11 |
kamyk | when i go to yt | 12:11 |
fde | kamyk: did you want to share your actual question? | 12:11 |
mathieui | Sw3RvE: TES | 12:11 |
mathieui | *yes | 12:11 |
mathieui | sorry | 12:11 |
Sw3RvE | tes? | 12:11 |

mathieui | Sw3RvE: there is a ppa | 12:11 |
kamyk | i have white screen | 12:12 |
kamyk | an only text | 12:12 |
ActionParsnip | Sw3RvE: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml | 12:12 |
fde | Sw3RvE: yes... search google for openoffice ppa and add it to Package Sources under 3rd Party Repos in System > Administration | 12:12 |
kamyk | but i gat flashplayer 10 an java | 12:12 |
Favorit | kamyk: flash player plugin isn't loaded it seems | 12:12 |
quibbler | Aeosynth, i have not used quick search...just the search button in synaptic | 12:12 |
fde | kamyk: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 12:12 |
kamyk | ok i try | 12:12 |
Sw3RvE | will it matter if im using xubuntu | 12:12 |
fde | Sw3RvE: no | 12:13 |
fde | Sw3RvE: wait | 12:13 |
ActionParsnip | Sw3RvE: not at all, get it in lad :) | 12:13 |
Sw3RvE | i installed the word processor but its 2.4 | 12:13 |
fde | Sw3RvE: for Xubuntu... do sudo aptitude install xubuntu-restricted-extras - cuz I don't think it uses gstreamer | 12:13 |
kamyk | <fde: and restart firefox ? | 12:13 |
ActionParsnip | fde: wouldnt that be seen as a dep and auto installed/ | 12:13 |
fde | kamyk: yeah | 12:14 |
kamyk | kk | 12:14 |
Sw3RvE | fde your speaking japanese to me | 12:14 |
Sw3RvE | im a total noob even tho i use this and yellowdog lol | 12:14 |
kamyk | hehe ;) | 12:14 |
mjbraun | I have a SCSI attached CD jukebox. My system drops to initramfs during boot on kernels newer than 2.6.22.14. Where should I look for help? Is there a hardware specific mailing list I should try? The ubuntu users list couldn't help, nor could the web forums (it's an obscure problem, I'm sure). | 12:14 |
fde | kamyk: well yeah, but for instance xubuntu uses listen instead of rhythmbox so you'd end up with a mess | 12:14 |
ActionParsnip | Sw3RvE: you need an extra package, the command fde gave will install it, you can then follow the guide on the link I gave you to install it | 12:14 |
Sw3RvE | do i type that into terminal? | 12:15 |
fde | ActionParsnip: well, I'm wrong, but its still better to go with the -restricted-extras that corresponds with your subdist | 12:15 |
ActionParsnip | Sw3RvE: yes | 12:15 |
kamyk | fde: it;s this smae | 12:15 |
groogy | Sorry to bug you again, but the package I need is: libmysqlclient15off though in 32bit, but I can't find it :( | 12:15 |
fde | Sw3RvE: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-restricted-extras ... just copy and paste | 12:15 |
Favorit | groogy: why would you need that in 32-bit? | 12:15 |
ActionParsnip | fde: if it makes it work then who cares :D | 12:15 |
fde | groogy: why do you need 32bit? | 12:16 |
groogy | To compile it for my server that has a 32bit architecture. | 12:16 |
kamyk | fde: priv ? | 12:16 |
Ermen | Hello, i have a question. What is the best browser for embedded linux | 12:16 |
fde | groogy: set yourself up a 32bit chroot for such things | 12:16 |
Sw3RvE | thanks! | 12:16 |
fde | kamyk: no, ask the channel | 12:16 |
ActionParsnip | +1 for 32bit chroot | 12:16 |
Sw3RvE | now, is this going to enable all of this or just have it available for use? | 12:17 |
groogy | Nah, It has worked fine with just telling gcc which architecture to use, so gcc only need a 32bit library. | 12:17 |
groogy | for mysqlclient | 12:17 |
fde | kamyk: are these things in about:plugins ? | 12:17 |
fde | kamyk: I SAID DO NOT MESSAGE ME | 12:17 |
Favorit | groogy: trust me to compile 32-bit applications in 64-bit env you do want the chroot :) | 12:17 |
Favorit | groogy: otherwise you'll end up with a screwup of a binary | 12:17 |
kamyk | kk | 12:17 |
fde | This isn't AOL Chat ffs, I'm not your friend, I'm just trying to provide Ubuntu Support. | 12:18 |
kamyk | so its this same | 12:18 |
groogy | I don't care, It's ruby that's gonna run the library anyway, I only need the correct ELF format | 12:18 |
kamyk | white scrren only text | 12:18 |
kamyk | i have flas player 10 ad java | 12:18 |
Favorit | groogy: lessee | 12:18 |
fde | If you call your phone companies tech support, do you request the persons home phone number? | 12:18 |
YlandeFaran | I have used the torrent client "Transmission" for some time now. But I get the notion that there should be better programs around. | 12:18 |
fde | kamyk: those are listed in about:plugins ? | 12:19 |
kamyk | no | 12:19 |
YlandeFaran | Is there any special torrent client that anyone can recomend? | 12:19 |
groogy | Favorit: I'm just a student and this is only supposed to be an engine that only I'm supposed to use for my School Project, so I don't need to be perfect. | 12:19 |
fde | YlandeFaran: there are... what do you need from a torrent client though? | 12:19 |
ActionParsnip | !torrent | 12:19 |
ubottu | Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P | 12:19 |
Favorit | groogy: yeah, sec, looking for a way for you to install 32-bit lib without fucking up the rest of the installation | 12:19 |
ActionParsnip | why does torrentflux take so long to start downloading? | 12:20 |
kamyk | i write in conslole | 12:20 |
fde | !torrent is also Hey, you guys should replace "Azureus" with "Vuze" here as they changed their name. | 12:20 |
kamyk | about:plugins | 12:20 |
groogy | Favorit: Thx but the problem I'm having at the moment is to find the .deb file :P | 12:20 |
YlandeFaran | fde: Oh, I don't know really. I like the idea of sharing. | 12:20 |
kamyk | and i have dont' nw questions or somthing like that ;) | 12:20 |
ActionParsnip | kamyk: you put that in your web browser, not terminal | 12:20 |
kamyk | my englisz is not perfect ;) | 12:20 |
kamyk | aaa ok | 12:21 |
fde | YlandeFaran: they all allow you to share, that is the point of torrents | 12:21 |
Sw3RvE | why wont this package configuration let me advance | 12:21 |
ActionParsnip | groogy: i gave you the link to search the repos to manually pull down the deb | 12:21 |
fde | kamyk: are you using 64bit? | 12:21 |
YlandeFaran | I don't need fancy colours and gizmos. I want it to be intuitive and efficient. | 12:21 |
DIFH-iceroot | ActionParsnip: no credits on the other side, port blocked by firewall, just bad luck with the host you want to download | 12:21 |
Favorit | groogy that's not a problem, you use 8.10? | 12:21 |

groogy | ActionParsnip: The library I needed wasn't there. For some wierd reason. | 12:21 |
groogy | Favorit: Yepp | 12:21 |

YlandeFaran | fde: What are the general differences between different clients then? | 12:22 |
fde | Sw3RvE: you have to agree to the terms of the java license... | 12:22 |
Sw3RvE | i scrolled down... do i close terminal now? | 12:22 |
Sw3RvE | how? | 12:22 |
fde | YlandeFaran: interface | 12:22 |
Sw3RvE | i pressed Enter | 12:22 |
ActionParsnip | YlandeFaran: some offer services some dont, you choose the one that suits your needs | 12:22 |
fde | Sw3RvE: now it should give you the option to select yes or no? | 12:22 |
ActionParsnip | YlandeFaran: some have a web interface for remote torrent management, some dont. Some use java, some dont | 12:22 |
Sw3RvE | it has <Ok> | 12:22 |
fde | Sw3RvE: I think you have to hit tab to get to them | 12:22 |
Sw3RvE | thanks, yes tab made it work. | 12:23 |
Sw3RvE | i hope i have a linux class in the future. im going to itt-tech for CNS. | 12:23 |
fde | YlandeFaran: I would recommend you try Vuze, see what you make of it... another popular one is Deluge, but it is very similar to Transmission | 12:23 |
ActionParsnip | YlandeFaran: they all download at the same speed they just give you different controls | 12:23 |
YlandeFaran | What are the biggest things I'm missing when running transmission? | 12:24 |
ActionParsnip | YlandeFaran: compared to what? | 12:24 |
fde | YlandeFaran: depends what you compare it to... nothing really though | 12:24 |
peopel123 | hi | 12:24 |
bazhang | http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download2.html Sw3RvE you may find this interesting | 12:24 |
fde | YlandeFaran: if you try Vuze, you'll notice a LOT missing from transmission, but it depends what you actually want out of such a tool | 12:24 |
ActionParsnip | YlandeFaran: tr a few, see which you like and stick with it | 12:25 |
Favorit | groogy: may i msg you the url? | 12:25 |
YlandeFaran | I'll do that, probably starting with Vuse. | 12:25 |
groogy | Favorit: Sure | 12:25 |
YlandeFaran | Thanks for the guidance. :) | 12:25 |
mick02 | This is a lttle OT but has anyone got Dropbox to work with Ubuntu through a http proxy | 12:25 |

ActionParsnip | Sw3RvE: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:27 |
Favorit | groogy: no probs :) | 12:27 |
ActionParsnip | Sw3RvE: you'll need a ; in there. let me retype | 12:27 |
ActionParsnip | Sw3RvE: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:27 |
Favorit | groogy: although the prope way would be to debootstrap a 32-bit chroot :) | 12:28 |

ramvi | [KERNEL HELP] sudo modprobe DRIVER works for me. But I have to do it on every boot. How do I have it automated? | 12:32 |
fde | ramvi: throw it into /etc/modules | 12:32 |
arvind_khadri | ramvi, add it to rc.local | 12:32 |
Sw3RvE | alright so after doing what you guys told me to run in terminal i can now move onto the guide? | 12:32 |
ramvi | fde: Didd add it to /etc/modules . Didn't help | 12:32 |
arvind_khadri | ramvi, ya that too can be done... what fde said | 12:32 |
ActionParsnip | ramvi: gksudo gedit /etc/modules | 12:32 |
fde | ramvi: do NOT do what arvind_khadri said, that is a lazy hack coming from rpm or slack systems | 12:32 |
ramvi | arvind_khadri: I'll try that. Thanks! | 12:32 |
spexi | seems that reboot is still required | 12:32 |
ActionParsnip | ramvi: add it to the bottom of that file | 12:33 |

fde | !rc.local | 12:33 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rc.local | 12:33 |

ActionParsnip | why not, it works | 12:33 |
Favorit | it's bad taste | 12:34 |
ActionParsnip | the /etc/modules file is awesome | 12:34 |
sipior | agreed, there's already a mechanism for ensuring that modules are loaded at boot... | 12:34 |
Favorit | there's a proper place to force modules load | 12:34 |
fde | arvind_khadri: yeah, it is preferred to actually write an init script | 12:34 |

jaggz- | or is it "better" to reinstall | 12:51 |
bazhang | jaggz-, no | 12:51 |
Favorit | azzarev5: run mkdir -p /usr/local/kde/share/config/ and re-run make install | 12:51 |
jrib | jaggz-: yes, but it will probably be a lot faster to reinstall | 12:51 |

bazhang | back up and then install a more recent version jaggz- | 12:52 |
jrib | jaggz-: you would have to go: hoary -> breezy -> dapper -> gutsy -> intrepid | 12:52 |
fde | jaggz-: you actually only have to upgrade to everything leading up to an LTS, then go from LTS to LTS | 12:52 |
jaggz- | considering it was my first debian-based system and has some slop done to it. | 12:52 |
jaggz- | LTS? | 12:53 |

_gridcomputing_ | fde: Yes, but I mean share between two ssh logins | 12:58 |
fde | _gridcomputing_: umm, I think you want VNC..... | 12:58 |
Favorit | _gridcomputing_: you want 2 people to see the same screen? | 12:58 |
ActionParsnip | fde: when the app is reinstalled the new configs will be installed as there is no history of the app ever being on the system | 12:58 |
Favorit | _gridcomputing_: then what fde said. | 12:59 |
_gridcomputing_ | fde: Yes VNC work well. Yes I want 2 People seeing the same screen or some windows | 12:59 |
fde | _gridcomputing_: there is distributed ssh, but I am not knowledgeable about it. | 12:59 |

Boohbah | _gridcomputing_: i would also look at FreeNX. it's very efficient | 13:00 |
ActionParsnip | fde: its not as malformed config can cause issues. It just a good way of pulling the entirety of the app out of the system | 13:00 |
_gridcomputing_ | fde: OK VNC is great | 13:00 |
fde | ActionParsnip: then remove the configs in ~/. which apt will never touch... do NOT have them remove system configs via purge | 13:00 |
unanxbt | is it possible that my keyboard can produce keystroke sounds (like we use to see in scifi movies)? | 13:01 |
_gridcomputing_ | Favorit: I have googled it | 13:01 |

fde | bazhang: been looking for the correct factoid all day... heh, thanks | 13:09 |
Favorit | fde: cuz I'm looking at current source of dpkg, and I can't find any reference to changing any states about the purged package. Moreover, it even removes references to versions that were installed to completely wipe any information, so the config files will be just reinstalled from the original during reinstallation | 13:10 |
fde | ActionParsnip: lol... just search google for phrases like 'debian won't restore config files after purge' | 13:10 |
Cpudan80 | ikonia: for what its worth, when the thing actually gets mounted, it goes to /media/usb | 13:10 |
chu_ | batteries batteries batteries!!!! | 13:11 |
fde | Favorit: the dpkg bot appears to suggest that they have changed policy to rectify the situation, so I would guess the code echoes this | 13:11 |
bernz | cableroy, have you tried using a VGA cable? what it lacks in "cutting edge" it makes up for with "field tested/proven" (i use a VGA cable from my mediabox to my LCD, works great at 1920x1080) | 13:11 |
azzarev5 | Favorit: sorry but I am really newbie. which is the command to execute the program? | 13:12 |
Favorit | fde: well, the exact point of purge is to _remove_ the even customized configs, so that if you reinstall you'll get stock configuration. so of course it won't restore anything | 13:12 |
Favorit | azzarev5: lemme have a look at your paste, sec | 13:12 |
fde | Favorit: in #debian-bots ... type !xorgmd5 ... it used to state a very common scenario that would serve as example... lots of people would remove xorg.conf and have it not come back due to policy | 13:12 |
ikonia | Cpudan80: so it does get auto mounted sometimes? | 13:12 |
illumin8 | Would having too large of a swap partion effect performance? | 13:12 |
Favorit | azzarev5: /usr/local/kde/bin/kiosksetup <- i suppose this would be a good place to start | 13:12 |
Dr_Willis64 | illumin8, not really | 13:12 |
Cpudan80 | ikonia: no, but if I do sudo mount -a after I get the little permissions error box, it goes to /media/usb | 13:13 |
ActionParsnip | fde: mepis.org use purge on their site for open office upgrades | 13:13 |
Favorit | azzarev5: otherwise I'd read the documentation on the software you're trying to install | 13:13 |
ActionParsnip | fde: http://www.mepis.org/docs/en/index.php/OpenOffice.org:_Upgrade_from_2.02_to_2.2 | 13:13 |
bernz | illumin8, not really, unless you are running software that tries to allocate insane amounts of memory, and you end up spending most CPU cycles swapping | 13:13 |
ikonia | Cpudan80: is it in your /etc/fstab ? | 13:13 |
fde | Favorit: used to have examples of it every single day in #debian | 13:13 |
ActionParsnip | fde: I cant find anything so far | 13:13 |
azzarev5 | Favorit: I found it bue which the command to execute it? | 13:13 |
fde | ActionParsnip: I don't care about mepis | 13:13 |
Cpudan80 | ikonia: nope | 13:13 |
ActionParsnip | fde: its debian based :) | 13:13 |
ikonia | Cpudan80: really, so it mounts with a mount -a even though it's not in your /etc/fstab ? | 13:13 |
bernz | illumin8, unless you are editing videos or MASSIVE, hi-rez photos, you won't notice, but it's a waste of otherwise-usable storage space | 13:14 |
Cpudan80 | ikonia: Even if I did like, sudo echo "I need root for a sec", then plugged it in -- it would work | 13:14 |
illumin8 | bernz, reason i ask is because i had a 3gb swap earlier today and ubuntu seemed more responsive, now its a tad larger (because of a default install) and its slightly slower. Perhaps its just my perception though | 13:14 |
Favorit | fde: I think we're talking about the same thing from a different perspective. but anyway. | 13:14 |
ikonia | Cpudan80: out of interest, could you pastebin your /etc/fstab I have a thought in my head, it's doubtful, but possible | 13:14 |
baaba | how would i go about diagnosing a problem where after installing nvidia-glx-177, my monitor turns off when x starts running on tty7? | 13:15 |
Dr_Willis64 | illumin8, how much ram ya got? I rarely touch the swap partitions at all on my 2+gb ram systems | 13:15 |
fde | ActionParsnip: doesn't mean they follow debian policy | 13:15 |
bernz | illumin8, yes, unless you've measured some specific tasks (there's a CLI way to do this), your gut will often tell you the pessimistic thing ("it's slower") when nothing's really changed ;-) | 13:15 |
baaba | if i switch ttys to any other one, i get an image | 13:15 |
bernz | (by measured, i mean 'timed') | 13:15 |
illumin8 | Dr_Willis64, 2gb of ram | 13:15 |
ActionParsnip | fde: doesnt meanubuntu does then either surely | 13:16 |
fde | Favorit: note that the "xorg.conf will be overritten regardless" of the dpkg output suggests that didn't used to be the case. | 13:16 |
baaba | and also without the nvidia drivers things work fine | 13:16 |
Cpudan80 | ikonia: sure | 13:16 |
ikonia | Cpudan80: thanks | 13:16 |
baaba | and Xorg.0.log shows no errors or warnings | 13:16 |
bernz | baaba, most other TTYs (by default) are text-mode, which is widely supported by most hardware (though my TV can't do certain weird low resolutions even in text mode) | 13:16 |
Favorit | fde: ok, i have about 20,000 sarge machines at hand, rather ancient, let me make a small test :) | 13:16 |
fde | ActionParsnip: sure, except that Ubuntu hired the apt-get and dpkg developers | 13:16 |
ActionParsnip | fde: I even looked for 'apt-get --purge is bad' | 13:16 |
Cpudan80 | ikonia: there is a USB key that I have in there -- but thats a different ball game | 13:16 |

ActionParsnip | fde: theres nothing to backup what you say | 13:16 |
fde | Favorit: just purge xorg and reinstall it... easy | 13:17 |
bernz | baaba, how did you install your nvidia drivers? "fancy" video drivers can cause lots of problems, and often need special builds | 13:17 |
baaba | bernz: yeah, i'm looking for hints on how to diagnose why the nvidia driver causes tty7 to just give no image to the monitor at all | 13:17 |

Cpudan80 | neat post # | 13:18 |
bernz | baaba, first thing to check, probably, is whether your display can handle whatever resolution X is trying to use (timings of video); does your display say "invalid format" or "no signal" or any other hint that suggests the video card is outputting "junk"? | 13:18 |

ikonia | Cpudan80: is the other key (the one you mount a lot) in the system now ? | 13:19 |
Cpudan80 | ikonia: nope | 13:19 |
Favorit | fde: for ucf to not to allow something it first has to be informed of policy change and dpkg has no code like that | 13:19 |

Cpudan80 | ikonia: but I only put the other key in there because it wouldnt auto mount (same permissions error) | 13:20 |
fde | Favorit: uhh, yes it does... else how does it keep track of 'rc' state? | 13:20 |
baaba | does the nvidia driver come with a command-line configuration utility? :) | 13:20 |
bernz | baaba, you'll *probably* need to look at your X config (usually /etc/X11/xorg.conf IIRC), and you can manually edit your default/active resolution; try something "well-known", like 1024x768. because odds are good the driver was trying for something higher/fancier | 13:20 |

Favorit | fde: to deny config file installation it would have to keep the names. | 13:21 |
ActionParsnip | keres: good | 13:21 |
ikonia | Cpudan80: when you put your key in, you get the permissions problem (odd), however when you do a mount -a hal sees your usb device as a new disk, assigns it a device file (next in the list would be /dev/sdc) and as you have an entry based on /dev/sdc1 - it mounts what ever device is on /dev/sdc | 13:21 |

ikonia | Cpudan80: yeah, change it to a uuid | 13:23 |
illumin8 | thats a pretty smooth work around | 13:23 |
Cpudan80 | right right yeah | 13:23 |
fde | Favorit: compare that to the same package not installed... obviously it is keeping track of it somewhere | 13:23 |
bernz | baaba, if you are able to uninstall whatever nvidia driver you already installed, you might then want to install the text-only 'envyng', and use it text-mode (in one of your working TTYs) to install nvidia drivers; it does a *lot* of the tedium, and i had good success with it for my ATI card (it supports ATI and NVIDIA) | 13:23 |
illumin8 | force the system to see uuid instead of allocation | 13:23 |

prince_jammys | fde: it seems that packages have to ensure that ucf knows to purge the conf once the package is purged (this from man ucf). perhaps what you're describing was a bug in certain packages' postrm scripts? | 13:25 |
bernz | DStrevinas, nope, but it sounds like it would be worth a lot of money to someone developing a GPS product :-D sorry, i don't know of one | 13:25 |
prince_jammys | fde: else it's believed to still be in the system and doesn't get created on reinstall | 13:25 |

travian_geek | drayen, I cant remember. Try that error message + host | 13:32 |
Kingsy102 | after you have instaled fluxbox how do you get it to run? | 13:32 |
jillian_ | it says no camera detected | 13:32 |
drayen | travian_geek: k, trying now.... | 13:32 |
cwillu | Favorit, check the listed status for aoeui in /var/lib/dpkg/status | 13:32 |
ActionParsnip | !webcam | jillian_ | 13:32 |
bernz | travian_geek, that's the point -- you need to hope that however the network was originally configured, either most members use DHCP (and so you can too, to find out the gateway), or you need a hint for the subnet (very typically 192.168.1.x for home LANs) | 13:32 |
ubottu | jillian_: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 13:32 |
jillian_ | thank you..i'll check it out | 13:33 |
bernz | travian_geek, and once you have that, you ping 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, ... for that whole subnet | 13:33 |
ActionParsnip | fde: http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/ch02s02s02.html | 13:33 |
illumin8 | Kingsy102, log out then change your session to fluxbox then log in, i suggest to select "this time only" at the popup in case you dislike it. | 13:33 |
Favorit | dayo: add this line to your interface configuration: post-up /etc/network/if-up.d/routes.sh | 13:33 |
travian_geek | bernz, o shit:P thats gooing to take ages! | 13:33 |
liqingsong | ho | 13:33 |
Kingsy102 | how do you logout and change the session? | 13:33 |
Favorit | dayo: add the route commands there | 13:33 |
bernz | travian_geek, if you have no starting point, you'll have to go for more low-level approach, like traffic sniffing -- install 'wireshark' on a working box that can join the LAN you want to work on | 13:33 |
ActionParsnip | p - The package and all its configuration files were removed, or the package was was never installed. | 13:33 |
KDB9000 | How can I have Ubuntu auto mount an external NTFS hard drive? It keeps failing and I have to put the command in manually to get it to mount. I tried adding it to fstab and when I plugged it in, it said I don't have the permissions to mount the drive. NTFS-config doesn't see my external (but it does see the internals. | 13:33 |
Favorit | cwillu: sec | 13:33 |
Kingsy102 | illumin8 - sorry i am a bit of a noob | 13:34 |
ActionParsnip | fde: making it fully installable again | 13:34 |
liqingsong | what | 13:34 |
fde | cwillu: some what, it does... but this is getting tired... I've only been encountering this stuff for 12 years... I used to tinker a lot, and until I found out about restoring md5sums, I used to reinstall if it wouldn't give me back for instance an smb.conf | 13:34 |
bazhang | !cn | liqingsong | 13:34 |
ubottu | liqingsong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 13:34 |
illumin8 | KingOfDos, click the large red power button on the top right of your screen and choose logout. session button will also be there at the login screen | 13:34 |
bernz | travian_geek, actually, if the subnet is smallish, it's surprisingly fast, because a ping/pong sequence only takes milliseconds, or a second at most to be considered a timeout (for local) | 13:34 |
Favorit | cwillu: not presetn | 13:34 |
cwillu | Favorit, after apt-get installing/purging, that file shows "Status: purge ok not-installed" for aoeui | 13:34 |
Dr_Willis64 | KDB9000, there is the 'user' and 'users' option for fstab entries that may be needed.. or check out the 'ntfs-config' tool to enable users mounting them | 13:34 |
andatche | ye | 13:34 |
Favorit | cwillu: want a paste from grep? | 13:34 |
liqingsong | ph | 13:34 |
bernz | DStrevinas, good luck! if you have success, be sure to post about it somewhere ;-) | 13:34 |
travian_geek | I know the subnet so can i just type ping 192.168.0.x | 13:35 |
cwillu | Favorit, open the file, it's not grepable like that :p | 13:35 |
KDB9000 | Dr_Willis64, ntfs-config tool only see my internal, not my external (yes, the drive is plugged in) | 13:35 |
Kingsy102 | illumin8 - so how do you logout and start a new session with fluxbox? | 13:35 |
Favorit | cwillu: oh, wait my bad, typoed the crappy packagename :) | 13:35 |
cwillu | Favorit, less /var/lib/dpkg/status, and then /aoeui<enter> | 13:35 |
Dr_Willis64 | KDB9000, it should have a 'checkbox' option to allow users to mount the externals - if i recall correctly | 13:35 |
ActionParsnip | fde: looks like my "no knowledge" wins over you12 years tout | 13:35 |
fde | cwillu: now, of course, most of my tastes are pretty set in stone, so I don't encounter it as much - if ever... | 13:35 |
ActionParsnip | fde: you dont have to apologise | 13:35 |
cwillu | Favorit, I was about to smack you for choosing such an annoying to type name :p | 13:35 |
bernz | travian_geek, wireshark is a network traffic analyzer (AKA "sniffer") which will let you inspect the data on your LAN in a pretty raw way, but with nice filters to make sense of it too | 13:35 |
Favorit | cwillu: that was the first one to show up on apt-cache search asdf ;) | 13:36 |
m41n1 | Hello | 13:36 |
Dr_Willis64 | KDB9000, but using the fstab may bypass/disable that feature.. you normally use one way, or the other.. fstab miught be making hal ignore it. | 13:36 |
travian_geek | how do i start it | 13:36 |
m41n1 | a simple question | 13:36 |
Favorit | cwillu: yeah, you're right about the state, that's correct. | 13:36 |
KDB9000 | Dr_Willis64, It doesn't show up. all that is in there are my internal NTFS hard drives. (sda1 and sda2 I believe) my external is sdb1 | 13:36 |
m41n1 | I have conection to the internet throught a proxy | 13:36 |
travian_geek | bernz, how do i start it? | 13:36 |
bernz | travian_geek, with it, you might be able to notice stuff like ARP packets which are basically asking "hey, is this address in use? can i use this? can someone else hear me?" (not exactly like DHCP, but similar) | 13:36 |
m41n1 | i set it up in the Proxy Settings | 13:36 |
fde | ActionParsnip: no... I just give up arguing... all you've said is you don't see it, cool... at least you know now what went wrong if a user comes back to you saying a config file is gone | 13:36 |
bernz | travian_geek, probably something like 'sudo apt-get install wireshark' from a command prompt (CLI) | 13:36 |
m41n1 | and Firefox works, but i can't access the internet or ping in the terminal | 13:36 |
m41n1 | do you know why? | 13:37 |
fde | ActionParsnip: luckily the people that will encounter it most will ask in #ubuntu-server | 13:37 |
ActionParsnip | fde: well i know why they are gone, thats what purge is for | 13:37 |
bernz | travian_geek, and then it'll be available under your 'applications' menu on the desktop, or from the CLI, you can probably just type 'wireshark' | 13:37 |
travian_geek | bernz, is it GUI? | 13:37 |
fde | ActionParsnip: and why they won't come back when installing again* | 13:37 |
prince_jammys | fde: i don't know why you're rulling out the ucf problem i mentioned. i see a lot of bug reports for packages that fail to take care of that when purged, so the conf files don't get created on reinstall. | 13:37 |
dayo | Favorit: i need to create /etc/network/if-up.d/routes.sh ? | 13:37 |
prince_jammys | fde: ruling out, it meant. | 13:37 |
Favorit | nod dayo | 13:37 |
ActionParsnip | fde: i doubt it but hey thats what makes the world go round | 13:37 |
bernz | travian_geek, yep, it's gui-oriented (though the libs it uses could allow usage from text-mode/terminal/headless/API-only-access) | 13:37 |
Favorit | umm, damn, mud habits :D | 13:37 |
Favorit | dayo: yes | 13:37 |
Dr_Willis64 | KDB9000, try commenting out the fstab line you made for tha textternal drive.. and rerun ntfs-config, enable both check box's and perhaps reboot? I dont have a external ntfs handy to check. | 13:38 |
illumin8 | Kingsy102, please read your private messages | 13:38 |
Workk1 | Pici, | 13:38 |
Dr_Willis64 | bbl | 13:38 |
cwillu | fde, sorry, you didn't just say that the default config files won't be reinstalled after you purge, did you? | 13:38 |
Workk1 | Pici, i've got that xchat | 13:38 |
KDB9000 | Dr_Willis64, fstab is what it normally is (removed my edit) and ntfs-config still doesn't see the drive. I still get the error message when I plug it in (the one about the logs saying it is already mounted and to unmount in windows and how to do it manually) | 13:38 |
fde | prince_jammys: I think you're misinterpreting the issue though... the postrm script could be wrong also, but postinst will be what has checked to see if the user has removed the file or changed it. | 13:38 |
dayo | Favorit: and what do i put in routes.sh? | 13:38 |
travian_geek | bernz, wireshark in CLI just gives me: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: | 13:38 |
mk13 | klk | 13:38 |
bernz | travian_geek, if you have the luxury of a spare router, and a laptop on which you can run wireshark, connect only the router to your laptop via one of the "client" ports on the router (1, 2, 3, ... -- not WLAN) | 13:39 |
Favorit | dayo: #!/bin/bash | 13:39 |
* cwillu goes back to his tower defense game | 13:39 | |
letalis | once wireshark is installed, itll be in the internet menu if you use gnome | 13:39 |
Workk1 | Hi evey 1 | 13:39 |
bernz | travian_geek, you might need to launch it from the desktop/GUI then | 13:39 |
Favorit | dayo: /sbin/route ... and the rest of your route command | 13:39 |
Workk1 | Favorit, i need your help | 13:39 |
dayo | Favorit: ok, thanks | 13:39 |
marlock | hi | 13:39 |
Favorit | Workk1: euh, explicitly mine? | 13:39 |
Workk1 | actually its important about xchat | 13:39 |
Workk1 | i need to know about current on going processes in Ubuntu | 13:40 |
bernz | travian_geek, if you have just a PC connected as a LAN client on the router, you'll eliminate "noise" of real network traffic; then, try a bit of stuff (ping, etc) and observe to learn; once you're familiar with wireshark, use it on the mystery LAN you're trying to document | 13:40 |
Daniel_G | chaps, instead of writing it all out here, can you have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1072230 and tell me what you think? | 13:40 |

ActionParsnip | Workk1: top | 13:40 |
fde | Workk1: to just see what is running... ps -e | 13:40 |
travian_geek | bernz, I have a spare router! :P But I cant find the program in my menys! and I cant start it through CLI | 13:40 |
Favorit | Workk1: type "ps axuw" to see the list of processes, otherwise use top | 13:40 |
Workk1 | what's top??? | 13:41 |

fde | Workk1: yes | 13:41 |
cwillu | Workk1, open a terminal and type 'top' | 13:41 |
Favorit | cwillu: You see, I just went through dpkg sources again for the installation and removal causes. state "purge" is being checked only in a) case of want_purge, and b) only on removal | 13:41 |
Workk1 | ok let me try.. wait(hold on) | 13:42 |
KDB9000 | illumin8, I already know how ubuntu organizes it's files, that isn't my problem | 13:42 |
fde | cocroach: it should be working out of the box... Places > Network > Windows Network and browse around? | 13:42 |
cwillu | Favorit, I wasn't following the discussion at all, I was just noting that dpkg does track purge state | 13:42 |
Favorit | cwillu: Really, util someone shoves the source line that blocks config installation in _dpkg_, not in its frontends after purging, I really can't find any evidence. | 13:42 |
blackjak | hello guys | 13:42 |
fde | cocroach: to share stuff, just right click and say "Share file" ... it will install things like samba itself. | 13:42 |
Favorit | cwillu: well, fde claims that once you purge a package with system-wide configs, reinstalling it won't install stock configs anymore | 13:42 |
Workk1 | ok i got it fde , cwillu , Favorit | 13:43 |
mikeshollen | Would Ubuntu receive substantial performance increases on a solid state drive compared to a 7200 RPM? It's already very fast with the standard drive for me. | 13:43 |
Workk1 | yesterday i installed tor for ubuntu | 13:43 |
ActionParsnip | Favorit: i'm with you buddy | 13:43 |
cwillu | fde, yes, after a purge, reinstalling the package will install the default configs | 13:43 |
Favorit | mikeshollen: yes | 13:43 |
blackjak | could anyone help with setting network manager to its original state? | 13:43 |
m41n1 | Does anyone know why it could access the internet with firefox but not with the terminal/konsole? I am using a proxy that is set in the System->Preference->Network Proxy. And FF has set the option of using the system's proxy | 13:43 |
mikeshollen | Favorit: Do you have one? | 13:43 |
Workk1 | but after install, i got its icon | 13:43 |
ActionParsnip | mikeshollen: yes, the seek time is significantly less | 13:43 |
Favorit | mikeshollen: although I'd avoud setting partitions that require heavy write access on SSD | 13:43 |
cwillu | fde, with the exception of a buggy package that tracks its state via some other mechanism (nvidia is bad for that, for instance) | 13:43 |
Favorit | mikeshollen: my home box is ssd-based | 13:43 |
ActionParsnip | mikeshollen: seek time on 7200 disk is about 12-13ms, SSD is about 3ms | 13:44 |
Workk1 | when i try to double click on it... it though starts but sudddenly gets hanged etc | 13:44 |
mikeshollen | Favorit: Do you guys think gaming is more about read time or seek time? | 13:44 |
Workk1 | it says some thing like.. tor is already running etc | 13:44 |
cocroach | ino..i mean that i will connect Lan network | 13:44 |
Workk1 | what shall i do now???? | 13:44 |
ActionParsnip | mikeshollen: its still 300mbps down to the board, just less bursty | 13:44 |
cocroach | no..i mean that i will connect Lan network | 13:44 |
freegoo | hey guys, i am looking to boot ubuntu from a 1-2gb usb pen. how showulwd i go about this. | 13:44 |
Favorit | mikeshollen: a bit of both I suppose, it depends on the game, if you play some MUD, it won't matter, if you need to load textures all the time, you'll probably notice speed increase | 13:44 |
Workk1 | cwillu, | 13:44 |
cwillu | Workk1, yes? | 13:45 |
mikeshollen | Favorit: Something like World of Warcraft or FPS games. | 13:45 |

Workk1 | i have installed 1... but when you double click it to work | 13:47 |
Joelito | hi all..just curious; is there a project that holds the current ubuntu version with the updated packages? | 13:47 |
blackjak | vidalia is the one | 13:47 |
Workk1 | it hangs up | 13:47 |
blackjak | another is ktork | 13:47 |
Kingsy101 | can someone tell me, I have just installed fluxbox on ubuntu-lite or u-lite how do I get it to run? | 13:47 |
Sonizz | blackjak, my computer is fujitsu siemens scaleo T | 13:47 |
blackjak | ktor could be found in the software channel | 13:47 |
Workk1 | suddenly that colour changes and tor interface goes darker like dead etc | 13:47 |

fde | prince_jammys: perhaps, but I can't see Brandon (xorg packager in debian) making such a trivial mistake... hmm | 13:48 |
bernz | cocroach, your work could be blocking whatever ports synatpic wants to use (if non-HTTP) | 13:48 |
blackjak | sorry the name is tork | 13:48 |
prince_jammys | fde: true | 13:48 |
Workk1 | yes Tork is there | 13:48 |
Workk1 | i have also installed it | 13:48 |
Workk1 | when you open it .. it looks for tor | 13:48 |
blackjak | well it is for kde desktop but it works on gnome too | 13:48 |
Workk1 | and when in command prompt i type tor | 13:48 |
Workk1 | it gives error in the end | 13:49 |
blackjak | I prefer vidalia | 13:49 |
Workk1 | shall i paste what error it gives here on main???? | 13:49 |

Kingsy101 | illumin8 - there isnt a splash screen, it totally text based console, so the login screen is just text on the screen, and you enter in the details it takes you to user@ubuntu:$ | 13:58 |
arvind_khadri | drayen, what error do you get? | 13:58 |
=== kamil_ is now known as Guest78333 | ||

ActionParsnip | SunnyDP: light and fast | 13:59 |
Kingsy101 | damn | 13:59 |
fabzor | ohhh fluxbox | 14:00 |
illumin8 | Kingsy101, have you tried xstart command? | 14:00 |
fabzor | my thats fast! | 14:00 |
Kingsy101 | nope | 14:00 |
SunnyDP | ActionParsnip: nothing special right ? | 14:00 |
AndySpain | I' on a HP Pavilion Notebook | 14:00 |
ActionParsnip | SunnyDP: its light in ram and fast | 14:00 |
SunnyDP | oh yeah | 14:00 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: create a file called ~/.xinitrc and add "exec fluxbox" as the last line, then run startx | 14:00 |
fabzor | try x<tab> and see what options you hav | 14:00 |
SunnyDP | good for servers then | 14:00 |
SunnyDP | will keep in kind | 14:00 |
ActionParsnip | SunnyDP: sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 14:00 |
SunnyDP | mind* and install tomorrowwith my group | 14:00 |
ActionParsnip | SunnyDP: log off, change session to fluxbox and log in | 14:00 |
ActionParsnip | SunnyDP: if you dont like it you can uninstall it | 14:00 |
illumin8 | startx...why am i having so many problems with words today... | 14:01 |
illumin8 | Kingsy101, Did you see the post on what to do above? | 14:01 |
Kingsy101 | hbekel - how do you do that? sorry I am pretty new to this... | 14:01 |
ActionParsnip | SunnyDP: it good for people who want the job done without a sn=ong and dance | 14:01 |
illumin8 | Kingsy101, read what hebekel wrote | 14:01 |
ActionParsnip | *song | 14:01 |
Kingsy101 | yea just not sure how to make files with just the console | 14:01 |
SunnyDP | ActionPasnips: I dont believe : 4 mb ???? | 14:01 |
Kingsy101 | and add text to those files | 14:01 |
SunnyDP | :D | 14:01 |
analyser | hi guys, i use my system in english, someones know how can I run some specific program with a different language? | 14:02 |
SunnyDP | LOL | 14:02 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: just type: echo 'exec fluxbox' > .xinitrc | 14:02 |
SunnyDP | analyser: what programs ? | 14:02 |
SunnyDP | word processors | 14:02 |
SunnyDP | ? | 14:02 |
m41n1 | hbekel, the thing of the proxy was already set | 14:02 |
Kingsy101 | ok... do I need to type that everytime I want to run xstart? | 14:02 |
analyser | SunnyDP: gnucash | 14:02 |
m41n1 | but still i can't ping or access anywebsite | 14:02 |
m41n1 | nor using apt-get | 14:02 |
illumin8 | Startx not xstart.. that was a typo on my part | 14:02 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: no, it creates the .xinitrc file that startx uses to figure out what wm to start | 14:02 |
SunnyDP | analyser:system->pref->keyboard : and add the keyboard you like | 14:03 |
illumin8 | Kingsy101, be sure its Startx not Xstart ( that was a typo on my part) | 14:03 |
ActionParsnip | m41n1: can you ping IP addresses: try ping 38.99.130.180 | 14:03 |
SunnyDP | then use : Alt+Shift to switch keyboard layours/ languages | 14:03 |
m41n1 | it doesn't work either | 14:03 |
ActionParsnip | illumin8: and all lowercase too :) | 14:03 |
illumin8 | ActionParsnip, indeed, i think its bedtime ... | 14:03 |
m41n1 | it hangs up, like waiting for a response | 14:04 |
m41n1 | forever | 14:04 |
age | Hello everyone | 14:04 |
ActionParsnip | m41n1: are you connected to a router? | 14:04 |
Kingsy101 | hbekel - it syas I don't have startx installed.. | 14:04 |
fabzor | hi age | 14:04 |
Kingsy101 | hbekel - should I run sudo apt-get install xinit? | 14:04 |
ActionParsnip | Kingsy101: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop | 14:04 |
m41n1 | it's the network of the university | 14:04 |
m41n1 | but as i said, it works on my laptop | 14:05 |
SunnyDP | m41n1: those are the best | 14:05 |
ActionParsnip | Kingsy101: will give you a full blown desktop system | 14:05 |
SunnyDP | :D | 14:05 |
SunnyDP | ActionParsnip: he doesnt want that i think | 14:05 |
m41n1 | hehe | 14:05 |
Kingsy101 | ActionParsnip - will that reinstall the entire operating system? | 14:05 |
SunnyDP | he wants something lite | 14:05 |
m41n1 | it's very confusing | 14:05 |
m41n1 | and fustrating | 14:05 |
illumin8 | Kingsy101, no it installs the ubuntu desktop | 14:05 |
Kingsy101 | I just wanted a littel GUI system to go over the top of this | 14:05 |
dayo | Favorit: the routes.sh didn't help. the static route was not retained after reboot :-( | 14:05 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: yes, try installing xinit | 14:06 |
analyser | SunnyDP: i'll try it | 14:06 |
SunnyDP | Kingsy101: ubuntu-desktop is only the gnome desktop nothing lese | 14:06 |
SunnyDP | analysr:sure | 14:06 |
analyser | SunnyDP: thank you | 14:06 |
ActionParsnip | Kingsy101: sudo apt-get install fluxbox will be light and will install the x server bits you are missing | 14:06 |
SunnyDP | analyser: no stress | 14:06 |
Kingsy101 | hbekel - ok I have install xinit do I need to run the echo command again? | 14:07 |
illumin8 | ActionParsnip, he said he did that already i believe, but startx isnt launching for him | 14:07 |
SunnyDP | right | 14:07 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: no, but you have installed fluxbox, do you? | 14:07 |
Kingsy101 | yea | 14:07 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: just try startx | 14:07 |
Kingsy101 | I have it says | 14:07 |
AndySpain | my wifi doesn't work. How do I fix this? | 14:07 |
cwillu | kingsley, how did you install it? | 14:07 |
Kingsy101 | /usr/bin/startx: line139: xauth: command not found | 14:08 |
AndySpain | I was told I have to get a madwifi driver and compile it, but I dunno how to do that | 14:08 |
analyser | SunnyDP: on this menu you've told me, its to change the keyboard layout, the layout is ok, i want to chang the software translation :) | 14:08 |
Kingsy101 | it says that for line s 139 149 151 149 151 | 14:08 |
illumin8 | isnt there a terminal command that kicks you out of grapical mode and one that also places you in one ie Alt f1 or something? | 14:08 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: try installing xauth, too | 14:08 |
cwillu | illumin8, chvt | 14:08 |
bernz | Kingsy101, it's useful to understand what that line did: "echo foo > bar.txt" says to the shell "print 'foo', only when you do, send it somewhere else ("redirect") -- to a file called 'bar.txt'; if 'bar.txt' doesn't exist, it will be created, and the output from 'echo' will go to the file; if it exists, it will be replaced... how to avoid that? use '>>' instead of '>' ;-) | 14:08 |
illumin8 | cwillu, chvt reenters gui? | 14:09 |
cwillu | chvt 7 would take you back to vt7, which is where x usually lives | 14:09 |
ActionParsnip | illumin8: sudo apt-get --reinstall install fluxbox | 14:09 |
illumin8 | cwillu, apprecaited, i had a problem with that myself | 14:09 |
Kingsy101 | hbekel - ok I have installed xauth now it says | 14:09 |
illumin8 | ActionParsnip, wrong person :) | 14:10 |
bernz | Kingsy101, and so, when you did that line, you created a file '.xinitrc', which is a config (usually 'rc' gives you a hint), and tells startx what to run | 14:10 |
ActionParsnip | sudo apt-get --reinstall install x-window-system-core xserver-xorg | 14:10 |
Kingsy101 | xauth: creating new authority file /home/user/.Xauthority | 14:10 |
Kingsy101 | ot says that twice then... | 14:10 |
Kingsy101 | it* | 14:10 |
Kingsy101 | X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (no such file or directory), aborting | 14:11 |
Kingsy101 | xinit: Server error. | 14:11 |
AndySpain | ActionParsnip: Can you help me with my wifi? I was told I need to get a madwifi friver and compile it. But I don't know which, and how. | 14:11 |
Kingsy101 | any ideas? | 14:11 |
usser | ActionParsnip, you can just do sudo apt-get install Xorg | 14:11 |
SunnyDP | just tried fluxbox: it's fuc*ing light!!! | 14:11 |
SunnyDP | weighs like 4mb | 14:11 |
usser | SunnyDP, yea :) | 14:11 |
SunnyDP | ridiculoys :D | 14:11 |
illumin8 | Indeed Xfce and fluxbox are very lightweight gui | 14:11 |
SunnyDP | but i like my gnome :D | 14:11 |
usser | SunnyDP, :( | 14:12 |
usser | SunnyDP, give flux a shot you wont wanna go back | 14:12 |
cwillu | AndySpain, who said to install madwifi? | 14:12 |
Kingsy101 | ActionParsnip - maybe I should just install the desktop system... how does that impact on performace> | 14:12 |
Kingsy101 | cos its a pretty slow lapttop I am running it on | 14:12 |
SunnyDP | usser: meh! | 14:12 |
illumin8 | usser, have you tried crashbang yet? | 14:12 |
SunnyDP | will try xfce next time | 14:12 |
AndySpain | cwillu a friend of mine who has the same laptop, but who is out of reach now... :-( | 14:13 |
ActionParsnip | Kingsy101: more stuff in ram | 14:13 |
cwillu | AndySpain, open a terminal and run: lspci|grep -i net | 14:13 |
usser | illumin8, nah, i dont like packaged distros, prefer installing what i need myself by hand | 14:13 |
cwillu | AndySpain, that should give you one or two lines back, paste them to me | 14:13 |
Kingsy101 | ActionParsnip - so its probably not a good idea then? the laptop is VERY old | 14:13 |
illumin8 | usser, im not to that level yet, but its pretty fast with flux also | 14:13 |
cwillu | AndySpain, (note, anything larger than one or two lines should go into a pastebin, not directly into here) | 14:14 |
banyunet_ | haiii | 14:14 |
usser | illumin8, lxde is pretty light too | 14:14 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: you did install xorg, did you? | 14:14 |
illumin8 | usser, lxde? | 14:14 |
KevDog | Off topic -- the removal of the Other OS subforum -- disappointed | 14:14 |
fabio_ | Kingsy101: my laptop is about 5 yo | 14:14 |
ActionParsnip | Kingsy101: what cpu / ram? | 14:14 |
Kingsy101 | hbekel - no.. | 14:14 |
cwillu | AndySpain, thanks, one sec | 14:14 |
usser | illumin8, http://www.lxde.org/ | 14:15 |
AndySpain | cwillu: thank you for helping me | 14:15 |
KevDog | e17 is also very light weight window manager | 14:15 |
usser | illumin8, theres a package in intrepid even | 14:15 |
illumin8 | usser, nice, ill take a look | 14:15 |
Kingsy101 | ActionParsnip - I am not sure, its an old Toughbook latop | 14:15 |
ActionParsnip | Kingsy101: you can always install xubuntu-desktop its lighter than gnome | 14:15 |
Kingsy101 | ActtionParsnip - where can I get that? | 14:16 |
fabio_ | gnome is lighter than windows xp | 14:16 |
cwillu | AndySpain, I _think_ all you need to do is: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid | 14:16 |
cwillu | AndySpain, and then reboot | 14:16 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: i think installing xubuntu-desktop is the way to go for you | 14:16 |
KevDog | AndySpain: what driver? | 14:16 |
Kingsy101 | yea | 14:16 |
Kingsy101 | where can I get it | 14:16 |
ActionParsnip | Kingsy101: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 14:16 |
Kingsy101 | ok.. | 14:16 |
KevDog | AndySpain: are you after the ath5k driver? | 14:17 |
AndySpain | KevDog: Dunno after which I am | 14:17 |
AndySpain | KevDog: Atheros AR242 | 14:18 |
KevDog | AndySpain: What chipset do you have? lspci -nnm | 14:18 |
KevDog | AndySpain: Got that -- yes you want the ath5k driver | 14:18 |
Kingsy101 | ActionParsnip - ok I am getting it now, what shuld I do after the apt-get is finished? | 14:18 |
KevDog | AndySpain: cwillu was right aboutthe backports collection | 14:19 |
fabio_ | Kingsy101: restart your server X | 14:19 |
Kingsy101 | what do you mean by that? re-start my laptop? sorry I am a noob I know | 14:19 |
fabio_ | your are going to install xfce4... | 14:19 |
hbekel | fabio_: he isn't running X yet | 14:19 |

salvatore | anybody knows some channel to speak about blackberry 8830 unlock | 14:20 |

noclue-man | Hi, when I try to print, the print job appears then disappears but no printing happens. Any thoughts? | 14:21 |
cwillu | AndySpain, sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid | 14:21 |
fabio_ | Kingsy101: startx | 14:21 |
Kingsy101 | ah right, so after the apt-get is finished type sudo init 6 ? | 14:21 |
Kingsy101 | oh ok | 14:21 |

dolo | hey thanks for your help | 14:22 |
Workk1 | when i try to configured Tork | 14:22 |
dolo | I had 2 other questions | 14:22 |
Workk1 | when clicking play button it returns the error ... tor is already running | 14:22 |
Kingsy101 | fabio_ - startx will work after this install then? it was coming up with errors before hand.. | 14:22 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: I'm not sure since i don't know wether xubuntu-desktop contains a display manager, and wether it would edit inittab in that case... seems to be the case from what KevDog says, though | 14:22 |
dolo | how do i fix the no sound on youtube thing and set vlc as my default media player | 14:22 |
KevDog | xubuntu-desktop = XCFE display manager | 14:23 |
blackjak | guys could you tell me how to make network manager to control my interfaces? | 14:23 |
=== root is now known as UdontKnow | ||
Kingsy101 | hbekel - so just re-start then? | 14:23 |
Zta | Hm, youtube's flash player suddenly stopped working yesterday. Did I update something bad? Using 8.04. | 14:23 |
fabio_ | Kingsy101: there is a startx for xfce4 | 14:23 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: yes, forget about startx, that's only used if you don't use a display manager | 14:23 |
bernz | hey KevDog, is there a Right Way to stop x? i usually just kill all running windows managers... | 14:23 |
KevDog | hbekel: inittab -- I dont think modern versions of Ubuntu use that file anymore now with udev in place | 14:23 |
Kingsy101 | right ok | 14:23 |
Workk1 | Help please! Tor configurations required | 14:24 |
Zta | Other flash players do work, btw. | 14:24 |
JonathanEllis | I need to be able to boot a livecd on a machine that has a floppy drive and a usb cdrom that it can read but not boot from. Is there any way to boot from a floppy and then chainload the cdrom. I know grub cant chainload to a cd. ANyone know another way of doing it | 14:24 |
cwillu | blackjak, if you've upgraded or previously configured networking manually, make sure /etc/network/interfaces _doesn't_ include anything you want network manager to handle | 14:24 |
AndySpain | cwillu:ok, sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid, is done | 14:24 |
cwillu | AndySpain, okay, reboot and try it. I can't remember if you need to do anything else, but it might Just Work now | 14:25 |
fabio_ | Kingsy101: if your laptop is very old try with a good window manager like e16 | 14:25 |
hbekel | KevDog: init != udev, inittab is crucial | 14:25 |
KevDog | AndySpain -- not running gnome, however I think under Administration or System -> Administration -> Drivers or Networking or something there is an option to install restricted modules | 14:25 |
sarmisak | fde: yes, i have installed the core fonts | 14:25 |
KevDog | hbekel: inittab as in /etc/inittab? | 14:25 |

Workk1 | Tor is not working on my Ubuntu | 14:26 |
Jack_Sparrow | !tor | 14:26 |

bernz | dolo, FWIW, i'm using mplayer as my primary media player (including plug-in for firefox), and youtube sound is working | 14:33 |
Kingsy101 | ok done, back to the terminal | 14:33 |
Jack_Sparrow | blackjak see sep /home.. it makes upgrading and resinstalling a breeze | 14:33 |
Jack_Sparrow | !home | 14:33 |
ubottu | Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 14:33 |
bernz | dolo, i first removed totem (the bundled player) | 14:33 |
blackjak | ! home??? | 14:33 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about home??? | 14:33 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: now do a telinit 5 as root | 14:33 |
Kingsy101 | ok done | 14:33 |
travian_geek | how can i make my promt (PS1) red when working on a server and green when I'm not? | 14:34 |
Kingsy101 | sudo telinit 5 | 14:34 |
vigge | hai | 14:34 |
Jack_Sparrow | blackjak if you create second ext3 partition and keep /home there it makes maint much easier | 14:34 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: do you get a display manager? | 14:34 |
Kingsy101 | hbekel - no, nothing happens. it just goes to the next line | 14:34 |
blackjak | i see but I have used wibi to install ubuntu | 14:34 |
vigge | How come my ubuntu isn't usable after I install the nVidia drivers? | 14:34 |
Kingsy101 | asks for a password then does nothing | 14:35 |
vigge | ubuntu just uses 100% CPU and freezes | 14:35 |
X-722 | vigge: I would venture to say that you messed up your xorg config file | 14:35 |
vigge | X-722: I had not even touched it | 14:35 |
cwillu | vigge, you didn't install the driver from their website did you? | 14:35 |
X-722 | You just installed nvidia drivers? | 14:35 |
vigge | cwillu: envy | 14:35 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: just a sec | 14:35 |
X-722 | What were you using before? | 14:35 |
Kingsy101 | hbekel - ok | 14:35 |
vigge | I tried 177 and 173 | 14:35 |
illio | I'm trying to install Neverwinter Nights in Ubuntu, however I'm having trouble with one thing.. When running ./nwn (and having removed the lib directory) it starts up fine, however the graphics doesn't really work.. it displays the menu for a second and then goes black, so that I can press and write whatever I want, I just can't see what I'm pressing?.. any idea why such a thing is happening? | 14:36 |
vigge | X-722: those who came with ubuntu | 14:36 |
cwillu | vigge, 173, 177 and 180 are all available from the normal repository, you don't really need to use envy | 14:36 |
e-vad | anyone know of an app, that prompt you say once an hour to stand up or so? or have any good gnome programming resources so i can fire one up? | 14:36 |
=== eoke is now known as eoke_ | ||
bernz | vigge, "isn't usable" is kinda vague; what's actually not working? i used envy with success, but i have an ATI card | 14:36 |
=== eoke_ is now known as eoke | ||
vigge | bernz: it is really slow, and takes 10 min to start anything | 14:37 |
Jack_Sparrow | vigge once you have tried envy.. getting back to a clean system can be diffiicult | 14:37 |
Workk1 | cwillu, | 14:37 |
Workk1 | Jack_Sparrow, can you tell me how to uninstall installed things | 14:37 |
bernz | illio, again and again, i see display devices that can "grab at" the video timing for an instant, and then lose sync again, so you see a brief picture, and then blackness... check your refresh rate, resolution, etc -- make sure your display device can handle it... it's probably using some weird video mode; maybe you can force the game to use a lower/different resolution? | 14:38 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: I have to admit i'm an ubuntu noob, though not a linux noob. things seems to be handled differently in ubuntu... | 14:38 |
vigge | Jack_Sparrow: I just went into envvvy and pressed uninstall, now I'm back to the ubuntu drivers | 14:38 |
Jack_Sparrow | Workk1 If it is stuff you installed yourself and not from supported repos.. no.. | 14:38 |
prince_jammys | e-vad: yeah, i've heard of an app like that | 14:38 |
vigge | but I need to use x.org for some apps | 14:38 |
e-vad | ... prince_jammys name? | 14:38 |
vigge | or w/e it is | 14:38 |
Kingsy101 | ah right I see... | 14:38 |
Workk1 | Jack_Sparrow, i installed it from site | 14:38 |
Jack_Sparrow | vigge there is nothing wrong with the nvidia drivers in our repos | 14:38 |
hbekel | so, what does Kingsy101 have to do to a) start his displaymanager and b) make it the default runlevel? | 14:38 |
illio | bernz, okay, so you think it's the graphics settings for nwn? .. that seems to make sense.. I'll fiddle around with that | 14:38 |
Workk1 | means once you install some thing on Ubuntu you can't uninstall it | 14:38 |
KevDog | hbekel: awesome attempt | 14:38 |
X-722 | envy = bad .. at least it used to be. I havent used it in forever though | 14:39 |
Jack_Sparrow | Workk1 sure you can | 14:39 |
hbekel | KevDog: ? | 14:39 |
Workk1 | then how | 14:39 |
bernz | vigge, hmm... i *did* have some issues after install, but i was messing with stuff... i used envyng actually, and i uninstalled, then re-install my ATI drivers -- success... so maybe, try un/re? | 14:39 |
Workk1 | pvt msg me plz | 14:39 |
Jack_Sparrow | !who > Workk1 | 14:39 |
ubottu | Workk1, please see my private message | 14:39 |
KevDog | hbekel: no, Im serious -- never seen those commands before | 14:39 |

prince_jammys | e-vad: xwrits is one i'm seeing. i've stumbled into others by accident, but don't remember the name | 14:39 |
pmpfe | hey there, i have a problem with my x server, it seems to suddenly start ignoring my keyboard and mouse buttons in the middle of a session, any idea why this might be? | 14:39 |
Kingsy101 | hbekel - yea I thought/hoped xubuntu-desktop might do that iself | 14:39 |
Jack_Sparrow | Workk1 and no, I wont pm you on it. | 14:39 |
prince_jammys | !info xwrits | e-vad | 14:39 |
ubottu | xwrits (source: xwrits): reminds you to take a break from typing. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.21-6 (intrepid), package size 88 kB, installed size 184 kB | 14:39 |
runpain2 | it seems that almost every time i boot up after shuting down the xorg wont boot to gui i do recovery and boot back up and it it boots to a lower resolution 800x600 then i go into hardware reconfigure it to use the nvidia driver and use a 1024x768 resultion then i got to restart xserver and i have what i want 1024x768 resolution ,I wonder How i could avoid all this rigaramore | 14:40 |
KevDog | Kingsy101: what do you get when you reboot? A login screen or terminal | 14:40 |
bernz | vigge, in that case, it'll probably require manual installation (building the drivers from source, etc)... i haven't tried that yet, so i can't offer tips :-/ | 14:40 |
Workk1 | !jack_sparrow | 14:40 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jack_sparrow | 14:40 |
illio | bernz, hehe.. the refresh rate is set to 0.. that can't be right :-) | 14:40 |
Kingsy101 | it boots up and then I get a login screen then I get the terminal after I login | 14:40 |
Workk1 | Jack_Sparrow, why | 14:40 |
Jack_Sparrow | !botabuse | 14:40 |
ubottu | Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 14:40 |
Kingsy101 | its totally text based.. like DOS | 14:40 |
KevDog | Kingsy101: You dont get the graphical GUI for login? | 14:41 |
Kingsy101 | nope | 14:41 |
e-vad | prince_jammys: ... cool... looking at it now, know of others? | 14:41 |
Kartagis | does anyone here use lightning with their thunderbird? | 14:41 |
linuksamiko | hello everyone, There was an update for libc6 a few days ago (8.04) and now ldconfig won't work anymor. I have no clue what the problem could be, pleas help me | 14:41 |
Workk1 | Jack_Sparrow, i want to uninstall tor | 14:41 |
Kingsy101 | KevDog - nope :( | 14:41 |
KevDog | Kingsy101: sorry about the redundancy, but are you upgrading from the server edition | 14:41 |
bernz | illio, well, zero is often a magical value in the world of computers; in this case, it could mean "auto-detect", or "no display" ... hard to be sure unless it's documented, but you could try '60' (if you're in north america, '50' if your electrical grid is in europe or most other parts)... but careful -- you could damage your display device if bad settings are used | 14:41 |
Jack_Sparrow | Workk1 if you had used apt-get or aptitude or synaptic, you could have selected uninstall or remove.. | 14:41 |
KevDog | Kingsy101: did you reconfigure the x server? | 14:42 |
bernz | (FWIW, most LCDs can handle "nasty" settings without harm) | 14:42 |
Kingsy101 | KevDog - yea startx works bow | 14:42 |
Kingsy101 | now* | 14:42 |
ari_stress | good evening all :) | 14:42 |
Workk1 | Jack_Sparrow, please be simple | 14:42 |
runpain2 | it seems that almost every time i boot up after shuting down the xorg wont boot to gui i do recovery and boot back up and it it boots to a lower resolution 800x600 then i go into hardware reconfigure it to use the nvidia driver and use a 1024x768 resultion then i got to restart xserver and i have what i want 1024x768 resolution ,I wonder How i could avoid all this rigaramore | 14:42 |
hbekel | KevDog: running plain "X" works for him as a test case | 14:42 |
linuksamiko | ldconfig is the post installation process but it can't finish that means I can't install/uninstall/update anything | 14:42 |
Workk1 | Jack_Sparrow, i want you to show me simple steps to get it uninstall thanks | 14:42 |
Kingsy101 | KevDog - if I type startx I get a interface but its really really really lite.. I think xubuntu-desktop might be better | 14:42 |
Jack_Sparrow | Workk1 Did you install tor with apt-get or aptitude or synaptic | 14:43 |
prince_jammys | e-vad: xfce4-time-out-plugin looks like anbother | 14:43 |
Workk1 | yes apt-get i guess | 14:43 |
runpain2 | BRB | 14:43 |
Nero-Wolf | Well. | 14:43 |
KevDog | Kingsy101: what display manager are you running? xcfe4 by itself? | 14:43 |
Jack_Sparrow | Workk1 there is no guessing, you did or did not | 14:43 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: if you type startx now you get fluxbox, as we configured that earlier | 14:43 |
illio | bernz, yeah.. didn't work either :-).. | 14:43 |
Workk1 | Jack_Sparrow, :( | 14:43 |
Kingsy101 | hbekel - thats right | 14:43 |
Nero-Wolf | That's lame. Apparently all of nvidia's display drivers break any text displayed in OpenOffice. | 14:43 |
Kingsy101 | KevDog - I am not sure.. how should I check? | 14:43 |
KevDog | Kingsy101: Fluxbox!! | 14:44 |
Kingsy101 | ah right | 14:44 |
Kingsy101 | yea | 14:44 |
Kingsy101 | sorry :) | 14:44 |
xsever | Any experts with testdisk here? | 14:44 |
Workk1 | Jack_Sparrow, : why not show me all the ways.. if i've installed it by that way... it work other wise it dont | 14:44 |
bernz | illio, okay, you'll probably just have to dig around for some documentation about it -- maybe someone else already solved this problem (too bad there are no longer any good Web search engines to help you) | 14:44 |
Workk1 | actually i downloaded tor zip file on my desktop | 14:44 |
illio | bernz, hmm.. This is beginning to look like trial-n-error correction :-).. perhaps there's an example nwn.ini out there.. anywho.. thanks for the help.. I now know what to look for | 14:44 |
=== sebest_ is now known as sebest | ||
Workk1 | Jack_Sparrow, then i double clicked it and got it installed | 14:44 |

Nero-Wolf | Anyone have any ideas on how to fix text being displayed in OpenOffice while using the nvidia display drivers? | 14:45 |
Jack_Sparrow | Workk1 if you downloaded a zip you did not use any of the official supported ways of installing software | 14:45 |

Nero-Wolf | oo channel? | 14:45 |
hwilde | Shay26, audacity is pretty good | 14:45 |
Kingsy101 | KevDog - so yea fluxbox works fine.. so is it difficult to go on from here and get xubuntu-desktop working? | 14:46 |
Workk1 | i mean it it is installed on machine.... why not we can delete it | 14:46 |
kdog | I've connected my A2DP device how do I make ubuntu use it as default sound output? | 14:46 |

Kingsy101 | well I did sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 14:46 |
kdog | I've connected my A2DP device how do I make ubuntu use it as default sound output? | 14:46 |
KevDog | Kingsy101: good enough | 14:46 |
Nero-Wolf | Jack_Sparrow: What is "oo channel"? | 14:46 |
prince_jammys | Shay26: an old cooledit runs well under wine. there's a few version that don't, though. | 14:47 |
Jack_Sparrow | Workk1 there are always ways to solve it. sometimes a fresh install or restore from a previous backup is simpler than trying to untangle a messy install | 14:47 |

Nero-Wolf | Jack_Sparrow: The only problem with that, is that sometimes the menu-bar at the top of my windows will disappear. | 14:49 |
illio | bernz, hehe.. apparently the resolution was so low it failed on the screen.. 800x600 is apparently not well-liked by my 1680x1050 screen | 14:50 |
Nero-Wolf | Jack_Sparrow: It's a problem with the nvidia drivers, because the second I switch back to default, it works fine. | 14:50 |

Kingsy101 | KevDog - but I did install it | 15:00 |
Caplain | quick question, what are the consequences of turning off swap while a system is running? | 15:00 |
cwillu | nonix4, a machine that is vital to the operation of a service or infrastructure is a server even if people use it as a desktop :p | 15:00 |

Kingsy101 | KevDog - I will just re-install it then I guess.. did you say use synaptic or something? | 15:01 |
arvind_khadri | Caplain, nothing | 15:01 |

sachael | hi, my gnome programs think that firefox is the program which should be used to open folder (and not rox-filer). Can anyone help me? I think the problem is in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache | 15:01 |
satansaunt | wtf | 15:01 |
nonix4 | cwillu: yeah... I think of most of my 'puters as servers anyway :) | 15:01 |

bernz | kdog, yeah, my BT doesn't even work for A2DP yet (it detects, and pairs, but profiles aren't even listed -- the BT manager I have is pretty basic) | 15:01 |

cwillu | AndySpain, the really cheap usb wireless adapters are well supported (most of the cheapest ones use a zd1211 chipset which has been supported forever now) | 15:04 |
AndySpain | cwillu: Thank you very much. One tiny lil question: Is the dirver proprietary? Would be greta if not. But if it is, I won't uninstall it either | 15:04 |
cwillu | AndySpain, that's my usual fallback :p | 15:04 |

AndySpain | cwillu: ok. thank you. :-) | 15:05 |
SmokeyD | HoNgOuRu: depends on how it is setup. But isn't it your home dir? | 15:06 |

SmokeyD | isn't it the homedir of the user you logged in with? | 15:09 |
SmokeyD | cwillu: yes a sane choice, except when you want to setup a chroot jail :) | 15:10 |

Viex | At random times my sound will just completely stop working.. no explanation.. nothing.. just stops. And I have to restart to fix it, how can I stop this? It's really irritating. | 15:32 |
Joker_-_ | mespejel: you can safely install "full guided" | 15:32 |
SunnyDP | mespejel: choose 8gb in your vmware settingsand then while you are installing choose Entire Disk | 15:32 |
kalle | 15:32 | |
Joker_-_ | Viex: it's hars to help if you don't see a correlation between sound cuts. | 15:32 |
Viex | Joker_-_, much makes it that much more frustrating | 15:33 |
Viex | which* | 15:33 |
KevDog | svensko1: get a gun! | 15:33 |
mespejel | SunnyDP: yeah i did that.. so no manual to get some swap? i will not have any problem without swap? | 15:33 |
Joker_-_ | Viex: I understand. But I have no clue :( | 15:33 |
SunnyDP | nah man | 15:33 |
SunnyDP | entire disk creates swap automaticaly | 15:33 |
kitche | Viex most likely it's not random it's either OSS programs or pulseaudio programs causing the program with OSS only one program can run at a time with sound unless youuse alsa overlayed oss | 15:33 |
Wunderbar | i think i've been misunderstood. OK. By default there is a symbol for wifi and one for bluetooth on the panel. I accidently removed both but cannot see a way to add them again. How do I do this? | 15:34 |
SunnyDP | mespejel: are you running it right now ? | 15:34 |
Viex | Hmm. | 15:34 |
Viex | How would I switch everything to alsa without breaking something | 15:34 |
Slart | Wunderbar: sounds like you removed the notification area.. right click on the gnome panel, select "+Add" .. find the notification area applet in that list and add it | 15:34 |
mespejel | SunnyDP: yeah.. and just i select the 8gb.. i guess i can change that later and add more space? im using vmware fusion btw.. i just want to be sure i do not need swap partition | 15:35 |
wasabi | Hey. I have an Atom motherboard. Should I use i386, lpia? | 15:35 |
Wunderbar | thanks Slart- appreciated | 15:35 |
Kingsy101 | xubuntu-desktop isnt fully blown ubuntu is it? I take it, its a lite weight version? | 15:35 |
SunnyDP | mespejel: no you cannot, you can if you really want but it will take time | 15:35 |
SunnyDP | Kingsy101: still trying to get a GUI ? | 15:36 |
mespejel | SunnyDP: well doesnt matter i install it again later, i just want to try it anyway.. so just guided? no swap? | 15:36 |
Kingsy101 | its intalling but its taking AGES | 15:36 |
Slart | Kingsy101: it's still a fully blown ubuntu.. minus some of the polish and bling bling.. you can still run all the software and such | 15:36 |
KevDog | Kingsy101: no its lightweight | 15:36 |
mespejel | SunnyDP: cool then... anyway i read somewhere that i can build a file partition later on | 15:36 |
Kingsy101 | KevDog cool | 15:36 |
mespejel | SunnyDP: swap file | 15:36 |
Kingsy101 | shouldnt be much longer | 15:37 |
Kingsy101 | i hope | 15:37 |
Slart | Kingsy101: it's lite only if you mean in hardware requirements | 15:37 |
DiAbLe666 | good afternoon | 15:37 |
bernz | Wunderbar, let us know if Slart's suggestion worked, for reference ;-) | 15:37 |
SunnyDP | mespejel: vmware = go ahead if you mess up, go again, and if you mess up, go take a walk, and go at it again :D | 15:37 |
KevDog | Kingsy101: everything is ubuntu -- even fluxbox -- its just that the display manager is lite -- I run e17 on my POS laptop -- its a lot more peppier than gnome | 15:37 |
mespejel | SunnyDP: yeah lol | 15:37 |
mespejel | SunnyDP: thanks | 15:37 |
dekkong | Hello guys! I have a problem with my home folder ... after a while I cant acces the home folder | 15:38 |
Wunderbar | Slart's recommendation worked fine | 15:38 |
SunnyDP | dekkong: precisely please ? details ? | 15:38 |
DiAbLe666 | I have an ubuntu without any internet connectivity, i'm trying to install some fonts, apt try to download an .exe file, I downloaded it from an other workstation but I don't know where I should put it for apt | 15:38 |
dekkong | SunnyDP: Ok ... My desktop gets untouchable and when I click on my home folder in the Places bar nothing happens | 15:39 |
JonathanEllis | I am trying to fix ubuntu. It was working before I installed windows. Now I have reinstalled grub to the mbr but as I had to change the partitions around before installing windows the menu.lst is incorrect. I have managed to manually boot from a grub prompt. But now I am stuck in BusyBox with an (initramfs) prompt. I am trying to follow http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/waiting_for_root_file_system.html. When I type ls -l /boot I get No such file or | 15:39 |
wasabi | Hey. I have an Atom motherboard. Should I use i386, lpia? | 15:39 |
Dr_Willis64 | DiAbLe666, if you want toinstall the MS fonts.. you could just copy them over from a windows machine and copy them to your users .fonts directory | 15:39 |
SunnyDP | dekkong: when did you install ? | 15:39 |
arvind_khadri | DiAbLe666, create a aptoncd from the other machine... and then add that cd through apt | 15:39 |
dekkong | SunnyDP: maybe 1 month ago | 15:40 |
Joker_-_ | Viex: I believe alsa is installed by default, altho pulseaudio is the default manager in ubuntu. swiching from an audio server to an other shouldn tbreak anything. | 15:40 |
arvind_khadri | DiAbLe666, sudo apt-cdrom add | 15:40 |
DiAbLe666 | arvind_khadri: the other workstation is a windows vista :p | 15:40 |
SunnyDP | dekkong: easy fix is : sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop | 15:40 |
SunnyDP | but wait for better support on the subject please | 15:40 |
DiAbLe666 | we have very strict policy about http browsing | 15:40 |
arvind_khadri | DiAbLe666, you cant use .exe with apt anyways | 15:41 |

dekkong | arvind_khadri: yeah I know :P | 15:42 |
DiAbLe666 | arvind_khadri: I wonder if there is a directory where apt stores downloaded files, and maybe if i put the file in that directory, it will process without trying to download it | 15:42 |
arvind_khadri | DiAbLe666, you cant make apt use the .exe .... | 15:42 |
paperdragons | Hey everyone could someone point me in the right direction for help downgrading a package? | 15:42 |
grimmjow_ | salut tlm | 15:43 |
SlimeyPete | !downgrade | 15:43 |
ubottu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 15:43 |
Joker_-_ | grimmjow_: !fr | 15:43 |
grimmjow_ | oh ok sorry | 15:43 |
SlimeyPete | hrm... ubottu is unhelpful ;) | 15:43 |
DiAbLe666 | arvind_khadri: this is not my fault if apt wants to download an exe file while installing MS-fonts | 15:43 |
Joker_-_ | grimmjow_: pas de troubles ;) | 15:43 |
paperdragons | I don't want to downgrade the whole version of Ubuntu, just one package... | 15:43 |
JonathanEllis | Can I install ubuntu on a machine with no bootable cd drive? I can only boot from a floppy | 15:44 |
Joker_-_ | hey anyone knows the name of the tuner box one can plug to an HDTV signal and it'll broadcast the signal over network? | 15:44 |
porter1 | paperdragons, simply uninstall the current package, and then find the older package you want.... | 15:45 |

JonathanEllis | keystr0k: OpenOffice draw? | 15:46 |
arvind_khadri | DiAbLe666, msttcorefonts is a meta package... | 15:47 |
arvind_khadri | !metapackage | DiAbLe666, | 15:47 |
ubottu | DiAbLe666,: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. | 15:47 |
DiAbLe666 | arvind_khadri: yep I know that | 15:48 |

theteam | hi!! | 15:55 |
DiAbLe666 | arvind_khadri: in deed, it doesn't work | 15:55 |
kryptik | well I know my way around linux enough to use it, I just never actually installed it myself, let alone on my own machine I build 4 years ago :S | 15:55 |
kryptik | I'm on xchat :) | 15:55 |
arvind_khadri | DiAbLe666, you need to have a aptoncd or the whole source of fonts as .deb | 15:56 |

arvind_khadri | DiAbLe666, np ... | 15:57 |
theteam | here is someone of the ubuntu-guid?? | 15:57 |
kryptik | One thing I'm confused on...does Ubuntu by default only allow you to create an account and add it to sudoers? | 15:58 |
kryptik | It didn't ask me for a root password or anything, but I can sudo. | 15:58 |
Jack_Sparrow | kryptik if you are asking, yes that is how to do it | 15:58 |
arvind_khadri | !root | kryptik | 15:58 |
ubottu | kryptik: 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 | 15:58 |
Myrtti | kryptik: yes | 15:58 |
prince_jammys | kryptik: it adds the first user to the admin group and to sudoers | 15:59 |
SlimeyPete | kryptik: There's no root account by default, so yes everything is done via sudo | 15:59 |

ironfroggy_ | is it possible to configure a static IP for a wireless interface? | 16:04 |
=== jacob_ is now known as Guest92805 | ||
xGeek | ironfroggy_: Yes. | 16:06 |
fde | ironfroggy_: sure... | 16:06 |
xGeek | ironfroggy_: check out /etc/network/interfaces | 16:07 |
LuYu | so, if i define usb0 in interfaces, network manager wont try to set it up | 16:07 |
LuYu | hmmm | 16:07 |
arvind_khadri | LuYu, its lo | 16:07 |
fde | ironfroggy_: if you're using gnome, its very trivial... the two computers side by side in the system tray next to the clock... just right click > edit connections > then add a new wireless and make it static... voila | 16:07 |
ironfroggy_ | ok but i dont then know how to get the interface to actually establish a connection, since the only thing that seems to work is dhclient wlan1 | 16:07 |
fde | ironfroggy_: its pretty hard to get it wrong really | 16:08 |
Tulga | I installed squid 2 on A box and squid 3 on B box. but my B box's proxy IP looks real IP, but A box's IP detected. what is difference? | 16:08 |
ironfroggy_ | fde: ive not been able to get any of the gui's to work, only via command line | 16:08 |
ironfroggy_ | network-manager is doing something wrong and it never connects | 16:08 |
ironfroggy_ | so im invoking dhclient on startup to get connected | 16:08 |
fde | ironfroggy_: one thing that is rather annoying that I've encountered, seems I have to actually enter the entire HEX for the WPA key... but other than that, I've never had issues. | 16:09 |
xGeek | ironfroggy_: network-manager is carp. it's just as easy to read a simple tutorial on /etc/network/interfaces and just do it that way. you actually kill two birds with one stone as well. | 16:09 |
ironfroggy_ | so it ignores my configuration that i already have put in /etc/network/interfaces (which i already use and work fine with all the wired boxes i have) | 16:09 |
ironfroggy_ | fde: no key | 16:09 |
ironfroggy_ | xGeek: but ive already done that. i already knew how to do that, but it doesnt work for my wireless interface. | 16:09 |

Quagmire | Hello Guys, I'm going to give it another try. When I reboot my 8.10 pc, there will be 2 to 4 wireless connections (my neighbors) that show up immediately in the list of wireless networks that are available, but MY wireless router takes 2 to 4 minutes to show up in the list. I'm positive that I created this mess when I was first starting with Ubuntu and I "figure" my connection is set up as hidden network, but I'm not sure that is the p | 16:11 |
fde | xGeek: heh, I don't usually like to try to advice interfaces on IRC... too complicated to explain :o | 16:11 |
ptn107 | jj193: where are your files stored | 16:11 |
jj193 | on my hard disk | 16:11 |
ptn107 | jj193: what folder | 16:12 |
fde | ironfroggy_: at least look at man interfaces examples... you're missing a bunch of stuff. | 16:12 |
n8tuserf | ironfroggy_-> big typo iface wlan1 inet status <-- should be static | 16:12 |
jj193 | home folder mainly, one is in the recycle bin but i cant delete/get rid of it | 16:12 |

jj193 | if it was a word file i would have to save it, make a duplicate and edit that - but cant change original | 16:13 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire-> yes if you config your AP to be hiding the essid, it will not show on the list | 16:14 |
ironfroggy_ | fde: hm, see, i learned to use this before i used wireless. i didnt know it required additional settings in there for wireless versus wired (i already configured the wlan1 settings via iwconfig) | 16:14 |
ishang | ji193 the solution to the problem is to right click on the file and there is a permission tab and you can give yourself permission from there | 16:14 |
m | عــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــرب | 16:14 |
ironfroggy_ | and 'man interfaces' says nothing about essid at all, btw | 16:14 |

ptn107 | jj193: let me know when your there | 16:15 |
ptn107 | jj193: ok | 16:15 |
ishang | or you can use terminal in superuser mode and give the folder permissions using chmod.. if you are single user on comp then you can give it 777 permission | 16:15 |
xGeek | fde: He said it was open I thought. | 16:15 |
ptn107 | jj193: now double click filesystem | 16:15 |
ptn107 | jj193: then double click the folder called 'home' | 16:16 |

veragirl^cam | i'll try again: hi there, i was wondering if anyone could helpme by telling me how do i do to install ubuntu whithout formating my HD, because I want to keep windows installed in a different HD partition??? anyone plz? | 16:18 |
ptn107 | jj193: then click 'apply permissions to enclose files' at the bottom | 16:18 |
fde | veragirl^cam: you have to wait longer than 5 seconds... calm down | 16:18 |
arvind_khadri | DiAbLe666, np ... | 16:18 |
JonathanEllis | fde: xGeek: Thanks. I will try the network option | 16:18 |
arvind_khadri | DiAbLe666, did my advice work btw :P | 16:19 |
ironfroggy_ | i added the essid and took the interface down and back up, but its just keeping my dynamic ip | 16:19 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf, Access Point ...I'm sorry for my ignorance on the subject, but I ZERO clue where to begin. | 16:19 |
veragirl^cam | fde: oh thx, now I know someone is reading me :) I'll wait, thx | 16:19 |
jj193 | Ok done that | 16:19 |
fde | veragirl^cam: I told you your friggin answer, pay attention | 16:19 |
ptn107 | jj193: now try to edit your files | 16:19 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> oh well, you could start using google to search for info on using wireless | 16:19 |
LuYu | that totally didnt work | 16:19 |
n8tuserf | !wireless | Quagmire | 16:19 |
ubottu | Quagmire: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 16:19 |
jj193 | Works. | 16:19 |
jj193 | Thankyou so much | 16:19 |
fde | veragirl^cam: www.wubi-installer.org <-- click | 16:20 |
ptn107 | jj193: no prob | 16:20 |
prince_jammys | veragirl^cam: the live cd installer can deal with that, if you're talking about dual booting | 16:20 |
LuYu | i tried "noauto usb0", "manual usb0", "iface usb0 noauto" | 16:20 |
LuYu | none of those things worked | 16:20 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf, thanks for the "details" you have officially muddied the water and I know about what I did when I first asked. | 16:20 |
LuYu | network manager doesnt seem to care what the interfaces file says | 16:20 |
veragirl^cam | prince_jammys ok, may I pm you? | 16:21 |
n8tuserf | ironfroggy_ -> it is also unwise to have multiple nics on same subnets, it confuses your host to which route it should take.. nic1 or nic2 ? | 16:21 |
prince_jammys | veragirl^cam: use the main channel | 16:21 |
fde | prince_jammys: she wants to not touch her windows partitions... which is basically the point of wubi :) (it creates a virtual disk which ends up being dual bootable) | 16:21 |
Chousuke | LuYu: NM ignores interfaces that have settings in the interfaces file | 16:21 |
prince_jammys | ah, ok | 16:21 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> if you refuse to read, sorry cant help you | 16:21 |
LuYu | really? | 16:21 |
LuYu | okay | 16:22 |
LuYu | ill try again | 16:22 |
fde | veragirl^cam: why aren't you reading wubi-installer.org ? | 16:22 |
ironfroggy_ | n8tuserf: do you mean multiple nics on one client? | 16:22 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf, I have stacks for books, but I've had no luck. | 16:22 |
Lukas___ | Hello to all, someone know some software like "PhPMaker" for Linux ?? | 16:22 |
ironfroggy_ | or across all of them? | 16:22 |
Quagmire | I'm all about learning | 16:22 |
fde | Lukas___: depends, what does phpmaker do? | 16:22 |
Jeruvy | !packages | Lukas___ | 16:22 |
ubottu | Lukas___: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 16:22 |
n8tuserf | ironfroggy_ -> if you consider your hosts as a client yes..dont have multiple paths to get out, unless you know how to manage the route table | 16:23 |
veragirl^cam | prince_jammys: fine. i want to install the ubuntu in a different HD partition. the XP is already installed, but I was wondering if the ubuntu installation disk will allow me to create a second hd partition so I can install ububtu in this new partition | 16:23 |
Edico | Hi | 16:23 |
Edico | someone use Darklooks theme? | 16:23 |
ironfroggy_ | n8tuserf: i dont have multiple paths to get out. im only using one nic. | 16:23 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> simple terms like AP , umm you should have known, so am not sure if you are really reading those books | 16:23 |
fde | veragirl^cam: I have told you your answer 5 times now. Wubi will allow you to install Ubuntu within your Windows partition without formatting anything. | 16:23 |
Lukas___ | fde: PhPMaker its a code generator for PhP & MySQL, make automatic pages in PhP | 16:24 |
n8tuserf | ironfroggy_ -> you sure? wireless and ethernet nics? or just wireless? how are you chatting now? on same hosts? | 16:24 |
Edico | I have a problem with Darklooks theme: it doesn't remain after reboot | 16:24 |
veragirl^cam | ok.... thx | 16:24 |
prince_jammys | fde: it appears that she wants to install it in its own partition | 16:24 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf, I'll let it go, but I thought I'd get something a little meatier ....I usually do, but this issue has not gotten much attention. | 16:24 |
ironfroggy_ | n8tuserf: wireless only. and oh i can get the wlan1 to connect just fine, i just can't get it to do so without DHCP, and i want a static IP. | 16:25 |
fde | prince_jammys: ahh, yes, her new wording does seem that way... my bad | 16:25 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> is it working though or not? | 16:25 |
n8tuserf | ironfroggy_ -> is the machine you are using to chat now same as where you're trying to resolve your wifi issues? | 16:26 |
ironfroggy_ | no | 16:26 |
xGeek | oh crap I forgot. | 16:26 |
xGeek | if you're trying to define static IP's in the range of the DHCP server on your network it won't work. | 16:26 |
ironfroggy_ | im not | 16:27 |
xGeek | ok. | 16:27 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf the router is working, its just a pain waiting around to get it started each time I boot the computer. It's a setting in Ubuntu ....and I know that stumbled around and created it a few months ago when I was first starting. | 16:27 |
ironfroggy_ | all my dynamics are >100 and statics <100 | 16:27 |
eraldo | how can I reset usb ? Nothing happens anymore when I plug an USB stick in | 16:27 |
eraldo | Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 | 16:27 |
xGeek | ironfroggy_: That interfaces file I sent to you didn't work? | 16:27 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> what do you exactly meant by waiting around to get started? | 16:28 |
ironfroggy_ | xGeek: no | 16:28 |
xGeek | ironfroggy_: I'm starting to thing that network-manager is interfering. Start by removing all the saved networks in network-manager. | 16:28 |
bastid_raZor | eraldo; mount them manually after you plug them in. | 16:28 |
xGeek | If it were me I'd uninstall it but I don't recommend you do that. | 16:28 |
ironfroggy_ | i dont use network-manager | 16:28 |
ironfroggy_ | what i said before is that it doesnt work | 16:28 |
Jeruvy | xGeek: there are/were some really interesting bugs with network manager... | 16:28 |
Fruzen | Please help me install C Compiler .. I can't run ./configure :S!!! | 16:28 |
n8tuserf | ironfroggy_ -> post your /etc/network/interfaces even with the modification xGeek suggested | 16:28 |
ironfroggy_ | the only way i can get my wireless to work is by manually configuring it via iwconfig and invoking dhclient wlan1 when i want to connect | 16:29 |
KevDog | Fruzen: sudo aptitude install build-essential | 16:29 |
eraldo | bastid_raZor: I want to make it work automatically again | 16:29 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf it takes around 3 minutes for MY router to show up in the list ...all of my neighbors show up immediately. | 16:29 |
ptn107 | Fruzen: sudo apt-get install build-essential ? | 16:29 |
ironfroggy_ | http://mibbit.com/pb/9qrqmr | 16:29 |
KevDog | Fruzen: aptitude/apt-get doesn't matter | 16:29 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> what channel your AP is on? thought about moving it? | 16:29 |
ptn107 | tru | 16:29 |
n8tuserf | !who | ironfroggy_ | 16:29 |
ubottu | ironfroggy_: 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 :) | 16:29 |
Fruzen | Reading package lists... Done | 16:29 |
Fruzen | Building dependency tree... Done | 16:29 |
Fruzen | E: Couldn't find package build-essential | 16:29 |
cern_ | hi | 16:30 |
xGeek | ath0? | 16:30 |
xGeek | are you running madwifi? | 16:30 |
Myrtti | Fruzen: hello, could you do lsb_release -a | 16:30 |
kraut | moin | 16:30 |
Fruzen | KevDog... | 16:30 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf, I'm on 9 - 2.452Ghz | 16:30 |
ironfroggy_ | xGeek: was that to me? | 16:30 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> and your neighbors? | 16:30 |
ptn107 | Fruzen: go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources, make sure main, universe, restricted, multiverse are checked | 16:31 |
Huufarted | Question about wireless: I installed VIrtualBox, immediately uninstalled it, but now my wireless connections no longer show up. DId it revert my ath5k back to the standard drivers in the process? | 16:31 |
cern_ | is it the good place to have some support about ubuntu? | 16:31 |
SlimeyPete | cern_: yes | 16:31 |
burkmat | Fruzen, try `sudo apt-get update` first? | 16:31 |
Myrtti | Fruzen: hello, could you do "lsb_release -r" on the command line | 16:31 |
arvind_khadri | !ask | cern_ | 16:31 |
ubottu | cern_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 16:31 |
ptn107 | Fruzen: then close that and try again | 16:31 |
SlimeyPete | it's the best place | 16:31 |
Kingsy101 | KevDog - ok its done | 16:31 |
Kingsy101 | should I just restart now? | 16:31 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf, I have no idea what their routers are listed as | 16:31 |
cern_ | well, just bought a new pc, he is "stamped" with vista | 16:31 |
n8tuserf | ironfroggy_ -> why do you have those other eth0,ethx,ath0, mentioned, delete them | 16:31 |
cern_ | so i installed ubuntu in vista | 16:31 |
Kingsy101 | KevDog - cos its just went back to the standard terminal | 16:32 |
erUSUL | Huufarted: maybe you are using now the wrong kernel | 16:32 |
ironfroggy_ | n8tuserf: they were there when i installed. i never added them. | 16:32 |
burkmat | cern_, I recommend fire or acid for the sticker stuck on your chassi. :p | 16:32 |
erUSUL | Huufarted: what does "uname -a" returns ? | 16:32 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> it should show up as part of the listing..what channels they operate on | 16:32 |
Huufarted | checking, stand by | 16:32 |
cern_ | i can't read no videos with totem nor vlc | 16:32 |
Huufarted | erUSUL, it shows 2.6.27-11 | 16:32 |
n8tuserf | ironfroggy_ -> remove those you dont need,,leave the l0 and the wlan1 | 16:32 |
erUSUL | Huufarted: but is generic or 386 | 16:32 |
dayo | cern_: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 16:33 |
Huufarted | Linux art-eee-ubuntu 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux | 16:33 |
ironfroggy_ | ok, done | 16:33 |
dayo | cern_: after that: sudo aptitude install libdvdcss2 | 16:33 |
n8tuserf | ironfroggy_ -> you using any kind of encryption? | 16:33 |
cern_ | dayo, i'm going to test thanks | 16:33 |
ironfroggy_ | no | 16:33 |
n8tuserf | !who | ironfroggy_ | 16:33 |
ubottu | ironfroggy_: 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 :) | 16:33 |
dayo | cern_: u're welcome | 16:33 |
ironfroggy_ | most of my traffic is tunneling over ssh anyway, so its kind of pointless. | 16:33 |
n8tuserf | am not going to respond to you anymore .. ironfroggy_ | 16:33 |
erUSUL | Huufarted: wron hypothesis... sorry | 16:34 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf, I'm looking for my neighbors, but I'm not seeing them ...which program will show them? | 16:34 |
dayo | cern_: i'm getting off work, now. but i'll still be in here, so let me know if it worked or not. | 16:34 |
ironfroggy_ | n8tuserf: habits are hard to break. dont diss human nature. | 16:34 |
Huufarted | hehe, no problem erUSUL. Any help is welcome | 16:34 |
ironfroggy_ | n8tuserf: but ill keep it in mind, sorry. | 16:34 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> iwlist wlan0 scan | 16:34 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf, thank you | 16:34 |
Huufarted | *sigh* I guess it's time for an ath5k recompile and reinstall... | 16:35 |
ironfroggy_ | i think i give up anyway | 16:35 |
ironfroggy_ | its impossible. | 16:35 |
ironfroggy_ | n8tuserf: i think something is not right with my setup in the first place, anyway, otherwise network-manager would work. | 16:35 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> typical search of drivers usually starts at 1 then 2..til it hits 12 and then back round robin | 16:35 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf, it brought back ...No scan results | 16:36 |
LuYu | well, it doesnt seem to matter how it is defined, NM comes up with an auto usb0 | 16:36 |
ptn107 | can anyone tell me why i have to install openssh-server, openssh-blacklist, and openssh-blacklist-extra separately? the blacklist packages are dependencies of openssh-server! debian pulls them in fine whats wrong with ubuntu (just curious) | 16:36 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> i used wlan0 assuming your wifi nic name is wlan0, it could have been eth0, eht1, or ath0,, | 16:36 |
LuYu | if i define it as manual, it doesnt work | 16:36 |
LuYu | if i define the interface as static, it doesnt work | 16:36 |
erUSUL | ptn107: may they are recommended packages? | 16:36 |
xGeek | ironfroggy_: What happens when you do a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 16:36 |
Myrtti | Fruzen: could you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list somewhere? since you can't find the build-essential you've got to have something wrong there | 16:36 |
ptn107 | wait wait, ya - they are 'suggested packages' in intrepid, they weren't in hardy | 16:37 |
LuYu | i imagine defining it as dhcp would have no effect either | 16:37 |
burkmat | Myrtti, Has he run `apt-get update`? | 16:37 |
ptn107 | thats stupid | 16:37 |
bp5101 | anyone mind willing to take a quick look at the cmnd_alias portion of my sudoers file. visudo keeps telling me each of these lines contain errors, and for the life of me they look correct. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d11b52a3f | 16:37 |
Myrtti | burkmat: if he'd answer even one of the questions I've asked him | 16:38 |
burkmat | Myrtti, Ah... Alright. :p | 16:38 |
LuYu | do these things have to be defined before network manager starts? | 16:38 |
ironfroggy_ | xGeek: thank you! i thought ifconfig wlan1 down/up would bring in the new settings, but that did the trick | 16:38 |
Kingsy101 | lol after all of that.. it crashes on booting up.. LOL | 16:38 |
Myrtti | of course, that would solve it as well... | 16:38 |
burkmat | :D | 16:38 |
enthused | Hi. What is the correct way to get a ubuntu system to return its version on the command line? I need to be able to differentiate between systems running debian and systems running ubuntu | 16:39 |
bp5101 | cat /proc/version | 16:40 |
erUSUL | enthused: lsb_release -a | 16:40 |
erUSUL | !version > enthused | 16:40 |
ubottu | enthused, please see my private message | 16:40 |
enthused | thanks | 16:40 |
cern__ | hi again | 16:40 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf, you are talking about the name of my wireless network? Dang I hate being confused and asking for clarifications | 16:40 |
cern__ | dayo, didn't worked | 16:41 |
mrtv | hi all | 16:41 |
cern__ | hi | 16:41 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> thats why I strongly advised you to read those tutorials and books, :P | 16:41 |
wemdowemd | Xubuntu is faster, or at least requires less resources than Ubuntu + Gnome. How do I convert The latter to the former, as in get the resulting speed increases rather than just slapping Xfce over the top of what's already there. The forum keeps just suggesting clean install which is not an option for me. | 16:41 |
prince_jammys | enthused: that may fail on debian boxes that don't have lsb-release installed. | 16:41 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> nic == network interface card | 16:42 |
cern__ | since dayo seems afk, i'm asking again : i can't read no video file with totem nor vlc, it forces me to reboot (ubuntu 8.04) | 16:42 |
SlimeyPete | wemdowemd: use synaptic/apt-get to install xubuntu-desktop | 16:42 |
SlimeyPete | wemdowemd: that'll give you both on one system; you can then remove ubuntu-desktop to get rid of GNOME if you want | 16:42 |
Quagmire | .LOL I actually know about nics ...I'm not quite as dense as I appear at the moment | 16:42 |
Dr_Willis64 | wemdowemd, it shouldnet matter if you got gnome + xfce insttalled. speed wise. It depoends on what one you are running at the time. Unless drive space is an issue | 16:42 |
ptn107 | SlimeyPete: doesn't that only get rid of the ubuntu-desktop metapackage ? | 16:42 |
Dr_Willis64 | ermoving ubuntu-desktop wont remove much :) | 16:43 |
tesseracter | help. when i upgrade my kernel, my BIOS cannot find it, its above the maximum cylinder. i do not have a boot partition, i was told i didnt need one. how can i move the new kernel to the right position on the HD??? | 16:43 |
ptn107 | thought so | 16:43 |
Dr_Willis64 | try it and see :) | 16:43 |
n8tuserf | Quagmire -> iwconfig and it should list the nic with wireless features | 16:43 |
SlimeyPete | ptn107: hrm... actually you may be right, yes | 16:43 |
SlimeyPete | it used to get rid of everything but I think they changed that | 16:43 |
Lasivian | is there any way I can test my video framerate? I tried playing a gl game and got a framerate of 0 | 16:44 |
ptn107 | SlimeyPete: i tried it once had to remove packages one by one, it sucked | 16:44 |
Lasivian | I think there is something wrong with my video | 16:44 |
wemdowemd | ptn107, Dr_Willis64: Should I want to remove Gnome and related desktop stuff that you wouldn't get on Xubuntu, how would I go about it? | 16:44 |
cern__ | should i try to reinstall ubuntu? | 16:44 |
Workk1 | OK | 16:45 |
jtaji | !purexfce | wemdowemd | 16:45 |
prince_jammys | !purexfce | 16:45 |
ubottu | wemdowemd: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 16:45 |
mrtv | i am searching for an official vserver enabled kernel for ubuntu server. I found only howtos for patching and compiling the kernel manually. but i would like to take the advantage of ubuntus security update support | 16:45 |
Workk1 | I need to know... when you install Ubuntu and you choose your name... then it means you are a root user is this true? | 16:45 |
wemdowemd | jtaji: Amazing thanks | 16:45 |
jtaji | Workk1: you are in the admin group and able to use sudo | 16:45 |
ptn107 | Workk1: no, not true | 16:45 |
jtaji | !sudo | Workk1 | 16:45 |
ubottu | Workk1: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 16:45 |
gotcha | my wlan is shown as eth1 and not as wlan0, any suggestions to solve this? | 16:46 |
Workk1 | ptnl07 then how to become a root user | 16:46 |
Lasivian | gotcha: does it work? | 16:46 |
n8tuserf | gotcha -> there is a udev rule somewhere in /etc/udev/rules.d/ you can modify, google for how to make udev rules please | 16:46 |
ptn107 | Workk1: use sudo, you have no reason to be using the root account | 16:46 |
gotcha | yeah, but i want to test my home network and aircrack etc doesn't work with eth1 Lasivian | 16:46 |
gotcha | don't think it handles it as a wlan | 16:46 |
cern__ | Workk1, sudo or su | 16:46 |
aar | Hi, I've got a large document imported from a text file in openoffice. Is it possible to convert all straight quotation marks (") into the curvy quotation marks? | 16:47 |
Workk1 | ptnl07: how to use sudo | 16:47 |
jtaji | Workk1: the link ubottu just gave you has all the info | 16:47 |
ptn107 | Workk1: but if you want to, sudo passwd root will do it | 16:47 |
brandonban6 | hello people....I have an issue where my user switcher panel will not load.........I'm wondering if it is a bad user account or something, but honestly I'm not sure which logs to even check. Does anyone have some advice? | 16:47 |
Jeruvy | aar: see awk and sed. | 16:47 |
Voot | working on a standard installation of ubuntu server version 6.10. For no aparent reason, the server has packets being sent to and from an undernet IRC server, and it's also launching its own ssh brute force attacks on other servers. Anyone have any ideas as to where my security hole is? | 16:47 |
cern__ | Workk1, type sudo before any command you want to run as root | 16:47 |
Workk1 | ptnl07 i am trying to install some software.. but it says install it as a root user | 16:47 |
mrtv | is there anyone here with vserver experience? | 16:47 |
Guest52875 | http://stagstrat.labrute.fr/ | 16:47 |
Workk1 | cern__, thanks.. let me try | 16:47 |
Lasivian | gotcha: "airmon-ng start eth1 2" fails? | 16:47 |
cern__ | Workk1 then do sudo install (or sudo apt-get install or whatever) | 16:48 |
ptn107 | Workk1: using sudo temporarily gives you root privileges | 16:48 |
cern__ | someone for my video problem :/ ? | 16:48 |
dkulchenko | I'm resizing my LVM PV, but when I run pvresize, it only fills 46GB, while I increased it to 164G with fdisk. What am I doing wrong? | 16:49 |
Quagmire | n8tuserf, I got a scan done, but I only see one network listed (assuming I have ran the correct command) sudo iwlist wlan0 scan ...it references one network listed on channel 6 | 16:49 |
aar | Jeruvy, does awk & sed work / integrate with OO? | 16:49 |
mrtv | bye bye | 16:49 |
cern__ | do you think installing ubuntu again would work? | 16:50 |
Lasivian | is there any way I can test my video framerate? I tried playing a gl game and got a framerate of 0 which seemed very wrong | 16:50 |
itachi | Lasivian, run glxgears | 16:50 |
Jeruvy | aar: you can run external commands from OO afaik. | 16:51 |
Xrm123 | I forgot to install vnc on my ubuntu while i was at th machine, is there any way to access it and turn it on purely through shell? | 16:51 |
aar | Jeruvy, ok thanks | 16:51 |
Lasivian | itachi: if it runs fine I assume my video is fine then, thanks :) | 16:52 |
allquixotic | Hi, I have a (physical) disk partition with a Solaris 10 install on it, it's a ZFS filesystem. I installed zfs-fuse as packaged for Ubuntu by the community (got the packages out of PPA from wiki link). How can I use the zfs utilities to mount the disk? The 'mount' command doesn't recognize it. | 16:52 |
cern__ | can't read no videos on vlc and totem, makes me reboot, any thoughts? | 16:52 |
Lasivian | guess something else is broken | 16:52 |
allquixotic | Xrm123: Yes, if you have network access to it (you know the IP or DNS), you can ssh in and enable VNC or NX | 16:52 |
itachi | Lasivian, you should get output showing your fps if you run in from a terminal | 16:52 |
Xrm123 | allquixotic: i'm ssh'd into it right now, how do i enable vnc? | 16:53 |
Lasivian | itachi: I did, and it was not 0 :) | 16:53 |
erUSUL | allquixotic: i suppose the ppa has a mount.zfs or something similar... or maybe there is generic mount.fuse helper... | 16:53 |
allquixotic | Xrm123: First, do you have any particular reason to use VNC rather than NX? The performance of VNC is abysmal compared to what NX can do. | 16:53 |
Xrm123 | i've never heard of nx before, i'm used to only using vnc so thats wht i thought of first | 16:54 |
allquixotic | Xrm123: http://www.nomachine.com <--- Get the .DEB packages for your architecture of NX Free Edition for Linux. Use 'wget' from the console: paste in the download URLs from the nomachine.com site. Then run sudo dpkg -i on the filenames. | 16:55 |
allquixotic | Xrm123: NX has a client on every platform too. | 16:55 |
cern__ | can't read no videos on vlc and totem, makes me reboot, should i reinstall ubuntu? | 16:55 |
tesseracter | help. when i upgrade my kernel, my BIOS cannot find it, its above the maximum cylinder(error 18). i do not have a boot partition, i was told i didnt need one. how can i move the new kernel to the right position on the HD??? | 16:55 |

Jufis | what was the package name for the 5xxx series wireless drivers? | 16:58 |
tesseracter | erUSUL, grub, markl_, no its a P5E-VM, quad core. | 16:58 |
Xrm123 | allquixotic: /win 6 | 16:59 |
tesseracter | erUSUL, grub gives me the choice of different kernels to load, only the 2.6.27-10 one works, not the 2.6.27-11 or -12 | 17:00 |
lesshaste | how do I tell which version of the nvidia driver ubuntu has given me? | 17:00 |
JonathanEllis | SlimeyPete: Thanks | 17:01 |
SlimeyPete | np | 17:01 |
tesseracter | markl_, i updated the bios too, that shouldnt be the issue. what usually makes this work no problem for everyone else in the galaxy? | 17:01 |
erUSUL | lesshaste: dmesg| grep "NVIDIA UNIX" | 17:01 |
lesshaste | erUSUL, thanks.. looks like 169.12 .. does that make sense? | 17:01 |
markl__ | tesseracter: can you paste the exact error? | 17:02 |
erUSUL | lesshaste: could be | 17:02 |
markl__ | if it's short :) | 17:02 |
lesshaste | erUSUL, :) that's worrying.. it's just whatever ubuntu provides | 17:03 |
erUSUL | tesseracter: maybe you can tweak something in the bios about the boot sequence or the way the disk is being recogniced,,, | 17:03 |
tesseracter | markl_, error 18: selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by bios | 17:03 |
DkySven | hello people, for one location where I use my laptop I have to use a proxy, now I'm somewhere where I don't need a proxy, so I turned it ff in the Networkproxy menu, Synaptic preferences and Firefox, but I still get an error 'can't reach <proxy-adress>' when trying to update | 17:03 |
DkySven | how can I fix this? | 17:04 |
B10S | who was i talking to about filezilla, ssh and ftp yesterday? | 17:04 |
DPic | hey, can someone help me get japanese input working on my machine? | 17:04 |
syockit | B10S: you can check the logs | 17:05 |
B10S | oh yes | 17:05 |
syockit | B10S: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/02/ they are divided to days, and to channels | 17:05 |
Xrm123 | allquixotic: Thanks, I installed it and got it working without a problem now | 17:06 |
syockit | pretty handy | 17:06 |
allquixotic | Xrm123: Really? cool | 17:06 |
syockit | DPic: what do you wish to use, SCIM or UIM? | 17:06 |
allquixotic | Xrm123: Found the NX client eh? | 17:06 |
B10S | syockit, thanks | 17:06 |
Xrm123 | found the nx client for windows, installed the nx client/node/server for linux and set it up | 17:06 |
tesseracter | erUSUL, the ways people tell me to solve it are to make a boot partition(hard without deleting data) or some bullshit "copy the kernel around on the disk" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585453 stuff | 17:06 |
allquixotic | Xrm123: Yep, it really is an easy install server-side | 17:07 |
tesseracter | erUSUL, if linux had something like partitionMagic... | 17:07 |
Dr_Willis64 | i find gparted works well for me. | 17:07 |
allquixotic | tesseracter: GParted? | 17:07 |
Xrm123 | yeps, now i can continue working on my linux machine from anywhere lol | 17:07 |
erUSUL | tesseracter: well that's a solution too and yes in linux we have gparted (i trust it more thn PM btw) | 17:07 |
DPic | syockit, are the both included with ubuntu by default? i've been trying to use SCIM but whichever one you would recommend | 17:07 |
B10S | ah, they use the index like the default apache indexes, i want something like that :) | 17:08 |
Xrm123 | one last question, is there anyway to force my other logon off? other than forcing a reboot... | 17:08 |
syockit | DPic: Let me check if my uim works on openoffice ... | 17:08 |
B10S | is the same | 17:08 |
B10S | just edited :P | 17:08 |
DPic | syockit, okay, thanks | 17:08 |
allquixotic | Xrm123: "other logon"? you mean an X server bound to a physical monitor? | 17:08 |
markl__ | tesseracter: have you played with your bios disk settings? | 17:08 |
Xrm123 | its on a laptop, and i forgot to logoff before i went to class since i was in the middle of working on it | 17:09 |
Xrm123 | i closed it but i forgot to logoff | 17:09 |
allquixotic | Xrm123: you should be able to quit your NX session and re-connect, but this time, edit the session settings and tell it to "Shadow" the current desktop rather than starting a new session | 17:09 |
Dr_Willis64 | closed the lid Xrm123 ? | 17:09 |
Xrm123 | Ahh ok, thanks allquixotic | 17:09 |
Xrm123 | yeah Dr_Willis64 | 17:09 |
allquixotic | Xrn123: That way you can actually connect to and use the old session, and you don't _have_ to logoff or start a new session | 17:09 |
allquixotic | Xrm123: ^^ | 17:09 |
syockit | DPic: okay uim works on openoffice too. So I'm suggesting uim. there are situations where it doesn't work though. for example, in opera, you can't use it in ctrl-f, but you can use it everywhere else. and it also works on terminal, on firefox, etc etc | 17:10 |
Dr_Willis64 | i thought NX could reattatach.. but it may be just a stale pid file around | 17:10 |
syockit | DPic: let's go with uim | 17:10 |
DPic | syockit, what is the difference between the two? | 17:10 |
allquixotic | Dr_Willis64: It can attach to a physical X session and "shadow" it (a la Remote Desktop solutions) but I assume our friend configured it to start a _new_ GNOME or KDE session | 17:10 |
hbekel | Kingsy101: did it work out? i was afk | 17:10 |
tesseracter | allquixotic, erUSUL GParted doesnt have a reformat without deleting data, that i can see.. | 17:10 |
gldtn | hello all.. can someone help me get the "cedilha"(the snake character under the letter c) using english international (en) keyboard? | 17:11 |
Xrm123 | allquixotic: yeah i did, i was kind of wondering why the resolution had changed from the regular resolution lol, but i switched it and it works fine now | 17:11 |
erUSUL | tesseracter: but you can shrink a partition to make room for the /boot one cant you? | 17:11 |
tesseracter | markl_, yes, but maybe i'll try that some more if you have a specific thing to check... | 17:11 |
Xrm123 | n 6 | 17:11 |
shay26 | Hello , does anyone know if Ubuntu have good software for recording audio ? (beside Audacity) ? | 17:12 |
syockit | DPic: they work differently but users usually don't notice it. it's mostly how they interface with the apps. otherwise, they use the same engines (anthy, skk, canna, etc) | 17:12 |
gldtn | here on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=736456 says how to do it under hardy but on intrepid seems like there is a small diference | 17:12 |
tesseracter | erUSUL, GParted always give me a warning about "data might be lost" and i dont go further than that. | 17:12 |
Dr_Willis64 | while parittion magic just dosent bother to warn youy :) | 17:12 |
markl__ | tesseracter: maybe play around with the lba modes, and some bios' have a legacy sata kind of setting that might help | 17:12 |
quibbler | gldtn: you can add character pallet to the panel | 17:12 |
syockit | DPic: and I always have scim work on one toolkit (i.e. gtk) and fail on another (i.e. qt) | 17:12 |
Dr_Willis64 | Your hard drives could die at any second.. or power go out.. it pays to have backups | 17:12 |
erUSUL | tesseracter: ok; fair enough... playing with partitions is allways risky business even with PM ... | 17:12 |
DPic | syockit, okay, so SCIM has started to work somehow and it was only needed for IM so i actually think i'm set | 17:13 |
gldtn | quibbler, may you guide me a bit please.. what do you mean? | 17:13 |
Huufarted | Question: Can anybody tell me where the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor can be found? I can find details on using it, but not where I find it to begin with. | 17:13 |
syockit | DPic: so you have scim-anthy installed too? | 17:13 |
tesseracter | erUSUL, yeah, i had a computer freeze in the middle of a PM reformat. bye bye data. | 17:13 |
syockit | DPic: did you install via language support? | 17:13 |
erUSUL | Huufarted: right click on the pannel choose add to pannel | 17:13 |
DPic | syockit, i installed via language support, yeah | 17:13 |
Huufarted | erUSUL: What panel? | 17:14 |
syockit | DPic: okay, go to console and do this: im-switch -c | 17:14 |
Huufarted | nevermind | 17:14 |
syockit | DPic: and then select.... wait I forgot after that | 17:14 |
Huufarted | erUSUL: I found it | 17:14 |
erUSUL | Huufarted: the one of the top or the one on the botton you choose where you want the applet | 17:14 |
tesseracter | Dr_Willis64, i know that, and i have all my personal documents backed up, but i dont have all my installed programs backed up. | 17:14 |
Huufarted | Thanks very much | 17:14 |
DPic | syockit, wait, why? SCIM is working | 17:14 |
quibbler | gldtn: right click on your upper panel and click add to panel..choose character palette | 17:14 |
syockit | DPic: really? so it needs no config? | 17:15 |
Huufarted | erUSUL: I was looking in the system monitor itself, trying to add a panel there. THanks for the right info. | 17:15 |
DPic | syockit, idk, guess not | 17:15 |
erUSUL | Huufarted: no problem | 17:15 |
syockit | DPic: strange. last time it only worked when you logged in with japanese language. it didn't start automatically in english | 17:15 |
syockit | prob they fixed that huh | 17:15 |
DPic | well i'm using jaunty, maybe they made some improvements? | 17:15 |
DPic | syockit, anyways, thanks for the help! | 17:16 |
syockit | DPic: cool on bleeding edge huh. yeah, maybe they did | 17:16 |

Huufarted | erUSUL, much better... I didn't like it stuck at 800 MHz on this laptop. Pretty slow doing that. | 17:16 |

jabagawee | what's the command to properly flush the ext3 journal? | 17:18 |
Dr_Willis64 | jabagawee, 'sync' perhaps? perhaps run it a few times? | 17:18 |
jabagawee | Dr_Willis64: thanks | 17:18 |
quibbler | gldtn: ç this is from the palette | 17:19 |
quibbler | or caps Ç | 17:19 |
gldtn | quibbler, yeah I got the pallet in now.. but what I want is to work like the other characters by me simply pressing the ( ' ) button and then hitting the C key and getting ç | 17:21 |
gldtn | quibbler, but this would be a nice work around it.. thanks! | 17:22 |
quibbler | gldtn: ok good luck... | 17:22 |
steve`` | where do i specify which dhcp client should be used? | 17:23 |
* genii ponders "which dhcp client" | 17:23 | |

Nutcase82 | i had some problems installing Ubuntu server 8.10 on a HD that was in a RAID before. It seems like there is something telling the install program that this HD is still in a RAID when its not. Ive formated the disk 2 times now so there should not be any data on it. Any ideas anyone? | 17:27 |
Nutcase82 | the 2 HD that i used in as a hardware RAID before was connected to a motherboard that got fried by lightning (R.I.P). After that i seperated the 2 drives one for my computer with my new motherboard and one for my server. The one in my new computer (WinXP) is working without problems. But the one that i want to use in my server does not proberbly because that i could not proberbly unmount the RAID because of my old motherboard is toas | 17:27 |

Guest52875 | http://stagstrat.labrute.fr/ | 17:28 |
Nutcase82 | thing is that when i install and the installation has identifed my HDD it says that it seems to be a RAID do you want to enable RAID controll. If i say yes i only get an error saying it dident work. If i say no the installation proceeds and i get to complete the install.. However whn GRUB is about to load it just stops there. No text, no errors. The system has not stalled but it wont boot ether. | 17:28 |

JonathanEllis | I want two linux distros Ubuntu and UbuntuStudio plus windows xp on my machine. Is there any advantage to a separate /boot partition. Obviously both ubuntu and ubuntustudio will place their kernels here but mainly I only want one instance of /boot/grub. Any other issues or any disadvantage of doing this? | 17:50 |
ikonia | dkulchenko: I'd re-boot to make sure your disk TOC is read fine, then see what stte the disk is in | 17:50 |
dkulchenko | ikonia: so have i. :) | 17:50 |

dkulchenko | ikonia: so, what's the right way to increase the PV's size if it is a partition? | 17:52 |
ikonia | dkulchenko: I'd never resize with fdisk personally | 17:52 |
ikonia | dkulchenko: I'd delete the partition and re-create | 17:52 |

ikonia | dkulchenko: fdisk | 17:53 |
ikonia | dkulchenko: oh wait, that's what you did | 17:53 |

ikonia | dkulchenko: if you do an fdisk -l /dev/sda does it show you all the space | 17:54 |
ikonia | dkulchenko: its not, re-read the partition table | 17:54 |

JonathanEllis | letalis: and dkulchenko: Its quite an old laptop with only a 1GHz processor. I already have ubuntustudio on it but to be honest there are some problems with it: Audio playback does not happen at a constant speed - its a bit like an old analogue tape recorder with bad wow. And the other problem is that menus take forever to come up and it takes ages to bring up the shutdown menu. Would I be better off getting rid of studio and installing regular ubun | 18:00 |
guntbert | L3Tum: this channel works so: you state your question (all in one line, please) and somebody will most likely answer | 18:00 |
L3Tum | I installed ubuntu 8.10 on my second machine, but the mouse ins't working. It quit working in fedora before I installed ubuntu. I have tried using a different mouse, but that hasn't worked either. I found in a google search to make sure the proper mouse type is selected in /etc/X11/XF82config. I was just about to edit this, but then I thought maybe it could be a BIOS problem since it happened in fedora too. | 18:00 |

alkamid | too* | 18:38 |
alkamid | is there a good howto on creating swap? I'm not sure how much of it I can really use | 18:39 |
itachi | alkamid, yes. i normally dont use swap at all, no difference for me. but i run pretty lightweight apps. | 18:40 |
ptn107 | alkamid: gparted can add a swap partiton easily just choose type as swap | 18:40 |

Jack_Sparrow | !sudo | 19:19 |
ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 19:19 |
mustangg1 | yoyoned: I read the site (thanks!), but can't tell - does that replace or augment the standard gnome keyboard shortcuts applet? | 19:19 |

hlm | dayo, thankyou your method worked ;-) | 19:19 |
Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 19:19 |
ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 19:19 |

danub | ok, i read the grub docs but i cant figure this out | 19:32 |
danub | i set it to the right drive, but it wont load. it just says "starting" and hangs there indefinately | 19:32 |
Jack_Sparrow | danub How many hard drives | 19:32 |
danub | 4 | 19:32 |
Jack_Sparrow | danub are you mixing ide and sata? | 19:33 |
danub | device.map shows hd1 as the windows one im trying to boot | 19:33 |
danub | yes Jack_Sparrow | 19:33 |
xnevermore | can someone tell me why update-manager is having me install and configure lilo (i currently use grub) | 19:33 |
xnevermore | ? | 19:33 |
Jack_Sparrow | danub mixing them can really mess with boot sequences | 19:33 |
danub | yeah, i didn't have a choice though | 19:33 |
danub | windows was installed on IDE controller and ubuntu decided to install itself on SATA controller | 19:34 |
Jack_Sparrow | danub how may os's | 19:34 |
danub | just 2 | 19:34 |
person | xnevermore: Is it installing and configuring it as a bootloader or as a program to install it as a bootloader? | 19:34 |
danub | atm | 19:34 |
danub | i figure by the time im done figuring out this problem, ill be a grub expert and can load like 15 os's :P | 19:34 |
Jack_Sparrow | danub if you plan on doing multiple to play with a few, setup a /boot partition | 19:34 |
xnevermore | person: i don't understand the difference | 19:35 |
maximoos | hello all | 19:35 |
danub | well right now i just need ubuntu and windows xp | 19:35 |
coz_ | interesting,, intrepid wouldnt install through normal live cd but would install as OEM any reason why this would occur? | 19:35 |
danub | the ubuntu loads fine, its the xp that is causing problems | 19:35 |
Jack_Sparrow | danub one sec, we can fix that | 19:35 |
danub | ok, that would be awesome | 19:36 |
person | xnevermore: By the way, I'm fairly new, so don't trust that I know what I'm on about, but I assume that update-manager installing the package will only modify your Linux system and not the bootloader itself (stored in the MBR or superbock of a disk partition, I think) or the configuration file that the bootloader itself uses... if you know what I mean | 19:36 |
danub | i see all the files on the drive still so it should be fine, its just not loading for some reason | 19:36 |

Jack_Sparrow | danub or paste it manually into the pastebin website | 19:37 |
xnevermore | person: right. i'm just wondering why update-manager would think i need lilo. unless its switching the default bootloader to lilo? its asking me to update the kernel due to an abi bump, and along with those updates asking me to install lilo | 19:37 |
danub | http://pastebin.com/fb468c6b | 19:37 |
Jack_Sparrow | danub ty | 19:38 |
person | xnevermore: meh, I'd assume that it's just installing the Linux program LILO, as opposed to the actual bootloader program that takes control of your commputer before your OS does | 19:39 |
=== solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
xnevermore | person: even so, why should i need that? | 19:39 |

Jack_Sparrow | danub http://pastebin.com/d670db794 see the edit at the end | 19:39 |
xnevermore | person: yeah, but i've been using ubuntu for a year without needing lilo | 19:41 |
danub | why hd0,0? | 19:41 |
person | Maybe you don't need it, but perhaps they're giving it you anyway? I assume it;'s a small Linux program and Ubuntu tends to provide you with loads of stuff you might not need if I remember correctly. *cowers* | 19:41 |
danub | hd0 is the linux disk that doesn't contain windows | 19:41 |
Jack_Sparrow | danub If it isnt booting with it looking at the one drive, easy test to point it to the other drive.. assuming that is correct | 19:41 |
Jack_Sparrow | danub understood, but mixing drives can cause issues.. one sec,.. another edit | 19:42 |

danub | http://pastebin.com/f1abf3058 | 19:45 |
Jack_Sparrow | danub try my menu list and see where it finds windows | 19:45 |
danub | sda1 is ubuntu | 19:45 |
genii | overlord: The output should be either: width: 32 bits or: width: 64 bits | 19:45 |
Jack_Sparrow | danub I am aware of how hard drives are numbered | 19:46 |
danub | sdb2 is the one that has my windows on it | 19:46 |
danub | so that *should* be hd1, right? | 19:46 |
alex_ | why isn't ubuntu letting me log in as root? | 19:46 |
J-roen | Hi. I get the error "Input/output error" when using md5sum or cksum on 2GB+ files. Is this a known problem? | 19:46 |
Jack_Sparrow | danub I understand, but mixing ide and sata can mess with those numbers and orders. You have a way that will let you find out | 19:47 |
danub | ohhh | 19:47 |
Jack_Sparrow | !root | 19:47 |
genii | overlord: You can also usually tell on Intel if 32 or 64 by cpu name. Core2 is 64 for instance | 19:47 |
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 | 19:47 |
overlord | genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/119349/ | 19:47 |

Frantic | what's the recommended driver for atheros wifi cards? | 19:47 |
alex_ | and it doesn't let me log in. | 19:47 |
danub | so basically, the controllers are messing up device map numbers and what is listed could very well be wrong | 19:47 |
Jack_Sparrow | alex_ that is not how you get root | 19:47 |
Jack_Sparrow | !sudo | 19:47 |

alex_ | i went to the mange user accounts and the ONLY account that showed up was "root" | 19:49 |

judget_ | is there any known issue with fuse or usb that coulc cause my external drive to loose connectivity then remount as another instance? | 20:11 |
burkmat | donald, Iirc, Ubuntu has vnc server by default, so just System -> prefs -> Remote Desktop and enable it, then forward port 5900? | 20:11 |
Frantic | IndyGunFreak: sry not done yet, tried sth else too :) | 20:12 |
donald | ok thanks does anything have to be setup if no router is in place? | 20:12 |
IndyGunFreak | oh ok | 20:12 |
Scunizi | burkmat: ibuclaw it was a file that was in my trash that I removed to the desktop to change the permissions so I could actually delete it without have to use gksudo nautilus | 20:12 |
deany | chmod | 20:12 |
deany | Scunizi, you need to chmod it | 20:12 |
burkmat | Scunizi, You want to delete it? | 20:12 |
IndyGunFreak | Frantic: well, the *right* way to do it, is to disable that driver, install the backport modules, restart, and it should work fine.. anything you did other than that, you should probably "un do" | 20:12 |
Scunizi | burkmat: yep | 20:12 |
burkmat | Scunizi, So just `sudo rm -rf` it? | 20:13 |

chubbs4u | does UBUNTU compatible with chubbs? | 20:13 |
burkmat | Scunizi, ...and as deany just said, chown probably did grant you ownership just that owner doesn't have rights to touch. good thinking deany, didn't even cross my mind :p | 20:13 |
Scunizi | burkmat: ah.. forgot about that... like deany mentioned.. it was an exercise in not just deleting it but also an exercise in changing permission correctly from terminal so I wouldn't have to rm -rf.. chmod I think did it. | 20:14 |
ibuclaw | cheeseburger, /var/cache/archives | 20:14 |

ibuclaw | cheeseburger, sorry, /var/cache/apt/archives | 20:15 |
Scunizi | burkmat: deany I chmod -R 777 <directory> and that did it after the previous chown.. Thanks for the help. | 20:15 |

RusBoy | ? | 20:41 |
Gnea | behnam: that's like asking if we prefer using windows instead of ubuntu ;) | 20:41 |
ibuclaw | Gaming4JC, if the cdrom is added as a source, then it will ask you to insert a CDROM | 20:41 |
Cheery | thecoolone191: I don't know | 20:41 |
Scunizi | Gaming4JC: in the software sources you have to enable the cd option.. It's probably commented out. | 20:41 |

Gnea | thecoolone191: I think the problem you have is that you're trying to mix an intel and an ati together | 20:44 |
deany | since, you cant select NOT to install everything you dont want | 20:45 |
ZeroA4 | thecoolone191, nvidia cards have and special xinerama mode called twinview... i think ati has an similar thing by other name | 20:45 |

thecoolone191 | and my ATI isnt dual head :( | 20:46 |
IndyGunFreak | Gnea: then youre right,t hats likely the issue, using two different graphics cads. | 20:46 |

alex_ | that I did INdygunfreak | 20:47 |
Scunizi | Gaming4JC: jj193 well.. just was sort of a hack to get it to work.. save them yes.. but the system should recognize the sticks are there and mount them automatically.. so the underlying problem is still there.. maybe after a reboot that won't happen anymore.. | 20:47 |
alex_ | i'm not THAT dumb | 20:47 |
deany | yoyoned, not for me, someone i know.. the netbook versions usually have a kiddie version of UI | 20:47 |
ZeroA4 | thecoolone191, did you try RandR ? | 20:47 |
Gnea | thecoolone191: I think, at best, is that you can run 2 different X servers at the same time - one on each display, but not concurrently with one desktop shared between them. | 20:47 |
Gaming4JC | Scunizi: I want to 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' but have apt-get search my CD. Basically. :-) | 20:47 |
IndyGunFreak | alex_: you're a little to senstive, i didn't suggest you were dumb... good luck. | 20:47 |
ibuclaw | alex_, have you checked about:plugins in firefox ? | 20:47 |
alex_ | i used the package manager | 20:47 |
negonicrac | test | 20:47 |
alex_ | to install the 2 star program as well | 20:47 |
jj193 | Scunizi, thanks, your help is very much appreciated. | 20:47 |
thecoolone191 | ZeroA4: tried it on 7.10 not today after the upgrade to 8.04 though | 20:47 |
ibuclaw | negonicrac, we are hearing you :) | 20:47 |
Gaming4JC | yoyoned: I would have done that but I don't have Synaptic Either, lol. It's Xfce. | 20:48 |
thecoolone191 | Gnea: how can i do that?? and is that even possible ? | 20:48 |
negonicrac | yeah I was having problems with my password. thanks | 20:48 |
Gaming4JC | you know xubuntu | 20:48 |
Scunizi | Gaming4JC: not sure you can do that off a live cd or not.. if you were using aptoncd you could. aptoncd is a way to create a cd that will act like a repo for the files you put on it. | 20:48 |
* thecoolone191 google's "two X servers dual monitor" | 20:49 | |
Scunizi | Gaming4JC: if you | 20:49 |
IndyGunFreak | deany: ubuntu on a 2gig hard drive, thats a tight fit | 20:49 |
Scunizi | Gaming4JC: if you're not hooked to the internet with that machine you could apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it should look at the cd by default anyway.. give it a try | 20:49 |
zash | IndyGunFreak: you can fit linux + x on ~50MB | 20:49 |
deany | yeah, i know..... it "HAD" a custom version by Asus | 20:50 |

yoyoned | Gaming4JC: check bottom of page http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html | 20:50 |
thecoolone191 | Gnea: something like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=707238 ? | 20:50 |
IndyGunFreak | Scunizi: yeah, i'm not sure if a "normal" install, would fit on a 2gig drive | 20:50 |
Gnea | thecoolone191: of course it is! just take your xorg.conf and configure it for one card, then make an xorg2.conf and configure it for the other card, then just startx on tty1, and startx -init :1 or something like that, can't rmeember it exactly | 20:50 |
sandeep | May I delete all the .deb files in my share lib? to make some more space on my tiny harddrive? | 20:50 |

hobofood_ | hey guys, where can i go for tech support? | 20:51 |
Gnea | hobofood_: you're here | 20:51 |

Gaming4JC | yoyoned: Thanks! This looks like just what I was looking for. I can define apt to search for a CD | 20:51 |
Scunizi | hobofood_: ask here.. if | 20:51 |
thecoolone191 | Gnea: alrite. thanks for the suggestion. im off to try that out. see you in 10-20 mins ;) | 20:51 |
Scunizi | you want | 20:51 |
deany | yeah but those have the playskool interfaces | 20:51 |
gbrethen | where can I get the latest updates to mono for ubuntu 8.10? | 20:51 |
deany | its what she had on it... | 20:51 |
hobofood_ | ikonia - x starts, the cursor changes to the fancy gnome waitcursor then nothing else happens | 20:52 |
hobofood_ | so i guess gdm | 20:52 |
_VIM_ | !latest | gbrethen | 20:52 |
ubottu | gbrethen: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 20:52 |
deany | she got a guy to put xp on it, now shes got 200mb free space | 20:52 |
IndyGunFreak | deany: itsnot that bad, but i like a normal ubuntu interface also. | 20:52 |
InDaLivingRoom | where can i increase the systems and mmmenu font sizes? | 20:52 |
yoyoned | Gaming4JC: no | 20:52 |
jj193 | deany, buy a card and put it in the slot | 20:52 |
yoyoned | Gaming4JC: np | 20:52 |
thecoolone191 | ZeroA4, Cheery and Gnea: thanks for your feedback. Its good to finally hear some other thoughts besides the one running in my frustrated mind :) | 20:52 |
jj193 | deany, a SDHC card and leave it as a permanent solution. | 20:52 |
gbrethen | ex: jaunty has libgtk2.0-cil 2.12.7 but intrepid has 2.12.1? | 20:52 |
Gnea | thecoolone191: no problem :) | 20:52 |

jj193 | deany, do you want to put ubuntu onto it so that you have more space, or because you have ubuntu. If it's because you want more space you can get an 8 or 16gb SDHC card and leave it in the eeepc and they're fairly cheap (15 quid) | 20:56 |

GnomeKing | that would explain why they both sound the same ;) | 21:25 |

syockit | GnomeKing: what did you use to make it sound worse? | 21:26 |

fearful | simon_: How can we help you today? | 21:27 |
orgy` | hi, how can i delete everything thats related to themes under gnome? | 21:27 |
GnomeKing | syockit, playing with fluidsynth (with -i <font> <file>) has the wrong instruments... but playing it through rosegarden with fluidsynth set up as an alsa device thingy has the right instruments (so its not necessarily fluidsynth?) and totem works without any changes at all | 21:27 |
syockit | dragon_: but he says it sounds fine on totem | 21:27 |
orgy` | seems like ive screwed anything, cause buttons dont change, when i change themes | 21:27 |
syockit | GnomeKing: probably those apps have their own default settings i.e. they load different sf2 files | 21:27 |
dragon_ | syockit: then it could be fluidsynth's default | 21:28 |
GnomeKing | well I set fluidsynth to use the same sf2 for command line and alsa device; so it should be the same in rosegarden to out of it... | 21:28 |
dragon_ | yeah | 21:28 |
Mjook | is there a desktop applet or something where I can view the current currency rate of two currencies? | 21:28 |
minivitale_ | hi all, long time ubuntu user, first time irc er | 21:28 |
GnomeKing | and totem appears to be using the same sf2 just by listening to it (I dun think there are others; and it was one I instlaled through apt, so its very plausible) | 21:29 |
syockit | GnomeKing: prettymuch that's it | 21:29 |

GnomeKing | syockit, sounds like its probably gstreamer - xine doesn't know midi ;) | 21:32 |
GnomeKing | Thanks _dbd_l12 | 21:33 |
syockit | GnomeKing: I'm getting a midi to try out too. shostakovich - leningrad | 21:33 |
pluma | I want to change my user account's locale (LC_*=en_GB, but LC_CTYPE and some others to de_DE). How do I do that in Intrepid (what files do I have to edit)? Exporting the envs in .bashrc doesn't seem to do anything for GNOME. | 21:33 |
elvedin | If I resize my NTFS partitions and then go into the Ubuntu installer, will the unallocated space show up as "unusable" if I already have 4 primary partitions? | 21:34 |
syockit | oooo had to install codec | 21:34 |
GnomeKing | ah, _dbd_l12, that just tells ya how to set up timidity, which I've already got ;) it doesn't seem to be recognising the different instruments in the same way as fluidsynth command line gets it wrong (but fluidsynth alsa gets it right through rosegarden! very very odd) | 21:34 |
EddieRingle | Can anyone help me figure out why I can't see any networks in Network Manager, nor can I connect to them manually? | 21:34 |

jj_galvez | when I mount a folder with sshfs and check folder properties it states 0 bytes free, I know this is wrong how can I get around this? | 21:35 |

_dbd_l12 | pluma: maybe dpkg-reconfigure localeconf | 21:35 |
syockit | GnomeKing: apparently, I was wrong: gstreamer uses libwildmidi | 21:35 |
elvedin | OK, that makes sense | 21:35 |
elvedin | I was wondering if my partition tools sucked or something | 21:36 |
GnomeKing | humz - never heard of it! But I'm guessing there isn't a simple way of getting that to export to wav ;) | 21:36 |
_dbd_l12 | jj_galvez: this is normal behaviour ;-) it's probably in the sshfs faq somewhere | 21:36 |

_dbd_l12 | pluma: sorry, no experience as how to do exactly that... | 21:37 |
pluma | I think update-locale might be the answer. I'll try that now. | 21:37 |

Rawul | Basically, i'm not getting the name servers from my dhcp - not a big issue, i'll just set them manually... | 21:44 |
syockit | GnomeKing: dunno if it works or not yet | 21:44 |
Rawul | so i edited resolv.conf | 21:44 |

syockit | GnomeKing: gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=Leningrd.mid ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! filesink location=Ninel.ogg | 21:44 |
GnomeKing | blimey - that's complicated ;) | 21:44 |
jj_galvez | _dbd_l12: doing it now, I wonder if I need the same version of sshfs on both machines? | 21:44 |
GnomeKing | ok | 21:44 |
GnomeKing | ok - that's working for playback | 21:45 |
_dbd_l12 | jj_galvez: probably not, as the remote end only needs ssh-server | 21:45 |
GnomeKing | so in theory I can save it as an ogg no problem | 21:45 |
jj_galvez | _dbd_l12: testing it now | 21:45 |
_dbd_l12 | jj_galvez: you'd only need fuse and sshfs on the connecting end | 21:45 |

Rawul | Basically, i'm not getting the name servers from my dhcp - not a big issue, i'll just set them manually... | 21:47 |
Rawul | so i edited resolv.conf | 21:47 |

Rawul | but how do i.. erm... 'active' it? | 21:47 |

javier1 | hi, I have an onboard video that does not want to disable in the bios, How can I get it to use the Agp that I have installed? | 21:48 |
GnomeKing | Rawul, if not, then look at your /etc/host.conf (that can disable resolv.conf) | 21:48 |
Rawul | i did 'nslookup' | 21:48 |
Rawul | then >g | 21:48 |
_dbd_l12 | jj_galvez: well that's better ;-) then the "1000 gb"- free space-bug was probably arlready fixed in sshfs a while ago | 21:48 |
Rawul | ah, okay | 21:48 |
cotui | mac serve | 21:48 |
GnomeKing | Rawul, possibly pastebin both the response from nslookup and your host.conf file | 21:48 |
Rawul | apparently no servr could be reached with nslookup | 21:48 |
jj_galvez | _dbd_l12: I'll say! | 21:48 |
yoyoned1 | Rawul: changes to resolve.conf are artomatic, but that tile just points you to a name server. If you want to manually resolve hostnames to IP adress, use /etc/hosts | 21:48 |
GnomeKing | and pastebin your resolv.conf then | 21:48 |
letalis | javier1: are there options in the bios to disable it or no? if not it may detect the agp card automatically without a bios change and all youll need to do is move the monitor cable to the card. | 21:49 |

ibuclaw | ericvw, what country do you live in and where are you getting the sources from ? | 21:50 |
GnomeKing | /etc/host.conf is totally empty? that could be your problem then... it should have "order hosts,bind"... which is the default on ubuntu - any clue why it changed? (although my host.conf says that order is only used by old versions of the C lib) | 21:51 |

GnomeKing | syockit, playing it like that is the "broken" approach, it uses the right instruments played through gstreamer. I've got an ogg going through gstreamer now, so that's good enough for me :) | 22:06 |
enovativ | ikonia: what i am trying to figure out is when you first use the external drive...both the linux box, and the windows box both can see the drive | 22:06 |
syockit | GnomeKing: maybe it has different mappings? anyways, gstreamer's wildmidi and timidity each use their own patch files | 22:06 |

Dada_ | Hi there. I just installed a base system while my laptop was not hooked up to the network. How do I make the system recognise and configure the network through DHCP in command line? | 22:10 |
skel | Dada_: manually, dhclient or /etc/init.d/networking restart | 22:11 |
Cpudan80 | Dada_: sudo dhclient | 22:11 |
Dada_ | Like, right now I only have loopback as interface, the interface I want is a cardbus | 22:11 |
Dada_ | thanks, I'll try this | 22:11 |
[VGN]Starlock | whats the command for checking the harddrive for errors ? | 22:11 |
GnomeKing | [VGN]Starlock, fsck | 22:11 |
[VGN]Starlock | thanks | 22:11 |
Scunizi | How do I unlock a pdf for printing that was made on a win machine? | 22:12 |
billybigrigger | Dada_, would have been a smart idea to connect the cardbus at install, i always have all of my periphs connected at install, saves hassle of configuring it later | 22:12 |
enovativ | _dbd_l12: now i see something odd. i am using gparted, and it sees the external drive but it will not let me format the drive as NTFS, only ext2, ext3, fat16, or fat32 | 22:12 |
GnomeKing | Scunizi, can't evince just print it? | 22:12 |
Lasivian | how do I make a network connect drop it's IP info and get new info? | 22:12 |
enovativ | the NTFS option is grayed out | 22:12 |
Scunizi | GnomeKing: nope.. the option is grayed out | 22:12 |
GnomeKing | wow - I didn't think evince honoured that! | 22:12 |
Scunizi | GnomeKing: me either | 22:12 |
InDaLivingRoom | is ther any ati control center? | 22:13 |
GnomeKing | Scunizi, never used it, but apparently there is a pdfcrack program to get the password to allow you to print it? | 22:14 |

GnomeKing | Scunizi, actually, no idea ;) | 22:14 |
GnomeKing | I just googled it | 22:15 |
MCCPIcky | okay down the road of nvidia install once again, have just tried the hardware driver install that ubuntu provides...result: black screen | 22:15 |
Scunizi | GnomeKing: I'll look. thanks.. you got more out of google than I did :) | 22:15 |
skel | XThief: smbmount assuming you're not blocked my any firewalls | 22:15 |
InDaLivingRoom | ha! fglrx-control it is! | 22:15 |
Scunizi | GnomeKing: it is in the repos! :=)) .. If I'm lucky there won't be a large learning curve. | 22:16 |
enovativ | how can i find out if my samba is running ? | 22:16 |
XThief | skel smbmount is a windows program? | 22:16 |
enovativ | i am haivng problems connecting to my window shares | 22:16 |
GnomeKing | syockit, sorry - first attempt at upload failed (its 12mb so its taking a while) - trying sftp now ;) | 22:16 |
skel | XThief: no, I'm assuming that you want to mount a windows drive remotely from an ubuntu system | 22:16 |
G-Blunted | enovativ, how is anyone going to help you when you say it like that? | 22:17 |
skel | XThief: so you'd run smbmount from ubuntu across the network to the share point on windows | 22:17 |
G-Blunted | !justask | 22:17 |
ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:17 |

GnomeKing | enovativ, samba does not need to be running to connect to a share, only to publish one from linux. Use smbclient to connect to a remote share | 22:17 |
enovativ | G-Blunted: thanks | 22:17 |

skel | Orchid`: go download sysresccd.org iso from another system and burn it, boot off it and mount whatever drives you need and copy data | 22:19 |
Lasivian | I need some troubleshooting help, my ethernet is giving me no DNS info and I do not know why | 22:19 |
Dada_ | billybigrigger: I decided to try installing without my network attached because the installer kept continuously failing during the apt setup at around 70% | 22:19 |
skel | Orchid`: it's also got photorec program to recover data from a already formatted system (not fool proof) | 22:19 |

omshanti | I have a mic | 22:20 |
GnomeKing | enovativ, that's never worked for me ;) smbclient does though | 22:20 |

Scunizi | GnomeKing: it found the password as '' or <nul>.. so I did it another way.. I used imagemagick's convert to "convert <inputfile.pdf> <outputfile.pdf>" worked like a champ.. unforetunately convert doesn't work well from pdf to an image format like tiff or gif etc.. | 22:21 |
GnomeKing | Lasivian, does "nslookup google.co.uk" work? | 22:21 |
Dada_ | Another question. I'm setting up a win98/ubuntu dual setup on an old computer, but I need to install Ubuntu first because my Win98 disk is apparently not able to boot. When I install Win98 after installing Ubuntu, that will mess up the MBR, right? | 22:21 |
GnomeKing | lol nice Scunizi ... and for pdf to png I'd use the gimp ;) | 22:21 |

Cronanius1 | hi guys, I was wondering if I could get the wiki article (or just straight up info) on how to install the latest version of Ubuntu on a computer *that has no internet*. | 22:23 |
dsl_ | xc | 22:23 |
skel | Lasivian: do you have anything defined in /etc/resolv.conf? | 22:23 |
Lasivian | GnomeKing: it shows server and address above that as loopback | 22:23 |
Lasivian | skel: blank | 22:23 |
node357 | Cronanius1, I have installed Ubuntu without 'net, works fine | 22:23 |
skel | Lasivian: that'd be why | 22:23 |
GnomeKing | syockit, finally uploaded - gnomes.org.uk/Pirates14.tar.gz | 22:23 |
skel | Lasivian: sounds like whatever is serving your dhcp isn't giving you a lease and giving you the dns servers | 22:23 |
Lasivian | "#Generated by networkmanager" | 22:23 |
node357 | Cronanius1, actually because of my location having no net works better as I don't get stuck at "scanning the mirror" | 22:24 |
billybigrigger | Dada_, im pretty sure Windows over Ubuntu will bork things pretty good, ive never been in that situation before, its always Ubuntu over Windows | 22:24 |
skel | Lasivian: run sudo dhclient | 22:24 |
Lasivian | skel: the wireless gets that data, on the same network | 22:24 |
enovativ | GnomeKing: smbclient is not working | 22:24 |
skel | Lasivian: then it could be a netmask config issue | 22:24 |
Cronanius1 | node357: I personally don't really know, I use Arch, but my friend is trying to install from CD, and he says that it's trying to make him install via FTP. | 22:24 |
skel | Lasivian: for that particular interface | 22:24 |
enovativ | (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) | 22:24 |
Dada_ | billybigrigger: yeah, unfortunately I didn't want to go through the trouble of finding another system to make a boot floppy on | 22:24 |
GnomeKing | syockit, the ogg file is what it *should* sound ilke, the mp3 is what fluidsynth makes it sound like | 22:24 |
mirkocosta | ciao | 22:24 |
den_kiev | hi | 22:25 |
GnomeKing | syockit, I know they are very similar, but as I said, I'm setting up rehearsal files so I've been messing with the instruments to make a solo line stand out more | 22:25 |
skel | enovativ: sounds like the server you're trying to connect to isn't resolving. try using IP | 22:25 |
Cronanius1 | node357: I was just wondering if you had used an alternate disk image or some such. | 22:25 |
Dada_ | billybigrigger: do you think I could fix the MBR to use Grub again by using "rescue a broken installation" from the installation CD? | 22:25 |
Lasivian | skel: the numbers look right for my network | 22:25 |
enovativ | skel: i tried ip also no luck | 22:25 |
GnomeKing | enovativ, try with an -I as well with the IP as skel said | 22:25 |
skel | Lasivian: does the wired interface get a lease? | 22:25 |
GnomeKing | enovativ, you need -I <ip> //server/share | 22:25 |
enovativ | GnomeKing: ok | 22:26 |
KenBW22 | where can i find a list of ubuntu keybindings? | 22:26 |
newmember | is there a ftpfs package for ubuntu? | 22:26 |
Lasivian | "bound to 10.234.0.24 -- renewal in 531150 seconds" | 22:26 |
skel | newmember: you can search by doing apt-cache search ftpfs | 22:26 |
billybigrigger | Dada_, possible, im not giving an answer because i do not know %100 | 22:26 |
Lasivian | google is pingable | 22:26 |
Lasivian | skel: so that command forced a new dhcp address? | 22:26 |
skel | newmember: you may have to modify the repositories you're searching by uncommenting what you want in /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:26 |
skel | Lasivian: it should try, yes | 22:27 |
billybigrigger | Dada_, haha im just installing 9.04 on my desktop machine here and it sits there Configuring APT "scanning the mirror" @ %82 | 22:27 |
skel | Lasivian: did you get a new IP? | 22:27 |
Lasivian | skel: i'll add it to my toolbox, many thanks | 22:27 |
Lasivian | skel: it's working now, yes | 22:27 |
skel | Lasivian: ok good to hear :) | 22:27 |
billybigrigger | Dada_, seems the mirror's down or something, just have to unplug your ethernet cable for the install to continue though | 22:27 |
newmember | skel: doh, I did apt-get install ftpfs. I guess its not inthe cache either, I'll try the other repos | 22:27 |
Dada_ | billybigrigger: when I was installing Ubuntu (using the alternative installer) it would show the red screen and refuse to go any further :/ | 22:28 |
Dada_ | Kind of silly it's got no way to handle it if a mirror is down | 22:28 |
billybigrigger | Dada_, yes, they should implement something there | 22:28 |

_dbd_l12 | Pantung: how are you connected to the remote server, ssh ? Did you enable x-forwarding, can you start x, etc... You will get better and more precise answers if you provide more information | 23:42 |
devon | just doesn't pass clicks through to the window behind it | 23:42 |
nero__ | hi | 23:43 |

RusBoy | hlm what you want to add ? | 23:44 |
alex_ | is there anything that is bug free :( | 23:44 |

hlm | RusBoy, Id rather not say, but it is a shell script | 23:44 |
hlm | fearful, I forgot where you said | 23:44 |
_dbd_l12 | alex: blame flash | 23:44 |
RusBoy | you should add the script to /etc/init.d/ | 23:44 |
devon | hlm: do you have any experience with init scripts? | 23:44 |
hlm | devon, no but I know what I need to add | 23:45 |

RusBoy | hlm then fix perm | 23:45 |
RusBoy | chmod 755 /etc/init.d/script | 23:45 |
alpha7 | Is there a wait to turn off a fan inside the motherboard in ubuntu? or control? | 23:45 |

Pantung | _dbd_l12, winSCP is the program | 23:47 |
devon | RusBoy: if hsi script doesn't obey standard init script behavior (liek restart, stop, etc) it really is better for it to go into rc.local | 23:47 |
Thisdude | Dallas: MSDN | 23:47 |
fearful | Dallas: You do realize that Linux does not use Visual Basic, you are right this is the wrong room to ask. | 23:47 |
devon | RusBoy: that's what it's for | 23:47 |

Thisdude | Dallas: maybe you should look at gambas if you want an object orientated linux language, i know a bit of vb what are you struggling with | 23:48 |
devon | hlm: that's why it should be in rc.local. It's teh last thign that gets run on system boot | 23:48 |
devon | hlm: and it's designed for executing scripts | 23:49 |
_dbd_l12 | Pantung: wel that's probably ssh with x forwarding you're doing with winSCP | 23:49 |
hlm | will I see its status when I boot? | 23:49 |
devon | hlm: is the script in question a persistent daemon, or does it execute and return? | 23:49 |
hlm | when quiet splash is off | 23:49 |
hlm | daemon | 23:49 |
Sertse | is apt-get or aptitude the official cli method? | 23:49 |
