| eli_ | I tried downloading it on a windows box but that was a bunch of fail (can't install a svn client; no admin) I really just want the file without going through this many loops | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| nikrud | IntuitiveNipple, old, yes that makes sense. Time to add one then I'd guess | 00:00 |
| hbekel | JPSman: you might try editing the registry it via regedit in wine | 00:00 |
| Brandano | IntuitiveNipple: does find work in the /dev/ tree? | 00:00 |
| l337ingDisorder | IntuitiveNipple: except that it also returns /dev/dm-* | 00:00 |
| IntuitiveNipple | l337ingDisorder: There are many ways to do it, it depends on what dependencies you have to abide by, and more importantly, how thorough and how many corner-cases you have have to catch | 00:00 |
| eli_ | Tried it on a linux box and it still won't download | 00:00 |
| l337ingDisorder | IntuitiveNipple: but that's ok, I'm just piping these results into partimage so if it finds a partition it can't work with it'll just discard it and move on. | 00:00 |
| JPSman | hbekel: it loads wines registry :OD | 00:00 |
| JPSman | flx_ THANK YOU | 00:00 |
| IntuitiveNipple | l337ingDisorder: Okay, got you. | 00:01 |
| yaesu | hello | 00:01 |
| l337ingDisorder | IntuitiveNipple: heh yeah it's funny.. sometimes I'll come in and ask a question and no one has any answers or even any ideas as to where to look...but then sometimes there are more ways to do it than there are letters in the alphabet ;) | 00:01 |
| Brandano | eli_: you don't really need admin to run an SVN client on win32, you just need it fto install the shell integration | 00:01 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Brandano: It works anywhere you've got sufficient permissions | 00:01 |
| Brandano | eli_: commandline svn should work fine | 00:01 |
| l337ingDisorder | So many thanks for this, looks like precisely what I'll need | 00:01 |
| Brandano | IntuitiveNipple: I was jus wondering why you went to the bother of a for loop just to echo stuff on the screen :) | 00:02 |
| eli_ | right but restricted Internet hates it, the msi files goes though tho | 00:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | l337ingDisorder: Yeah... I've been dealing with some scripts tha thave to do similar stuff in the initial ramdisk, so I've learned to not take all the tools and udev-created links for granted :) | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | l337ingDisorder: it has happened but i'm sure we'll be able to help in some way :D | 00:02 |
| JPSman | flx_: how about using wines regedit to loads my partitions registry? is there such a file? | 00:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Brandano: I was just demonstrating one use of the shell glob/regexp to find all partitions, that was the subject of the question | 00:03 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Brandano: 'find' might not be available in all circumstances | 00:03 |
| flx_ | JPSman: I'm not sure, I don't have Windows =p | 00:03 |
| unop | l337ingDisorder, for part in /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*}; do echo -n "$part "; done # is a redundant way of writing \ls /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*} | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JPSman: you can run regedit from recovery console in windows, you just gotta know exactly what keys you are editining and where they are in nthe registry | 00:03 |
| eli_ | like i just want the file. I should'nt have to go through this. (would pay someone for a windows port of Ctorrent) | 00:03 |

| IntuitiveNipple | unop: Yeah, my point with the example was that you can so *anything* you want with each device name inside the loop | 00:04 |
| JPSman | ActionParsnipl: yeah, and i am no where near that leet. I am burning a virus out and I need access to this other website that perfectly points to its evil | 00:04 |
| eli_ | tested most of them. I need to create a custom app that uses bittorrent | 00:04 |
| Brandano | H,, Azureus now is called vuze | 00:04 |
| DJNomad | ActionParsnip1, what was the gsmgs commandi lost it in logs and dont think i remember correctly | 00:04 |
| joshjtl | can I install ubuntu via cd boot, then internet install? I've done it on other distros... | 00:04 |
| Brandano | perhaps the ubottu reply should be amended to include it | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | eli_: ctorrent is discontinued according to sourceforge | 00:05 |
| eli_ | nothing complicated. How hard can it be to do something so simple? (linux works just fine, its windows that's causing the headache) | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DJNomad: dmesg | 00:05 |
| KevDog | how do I search my command line history - beyond using up arrow? | 00:05 |
| bruenig | history | grep | 00:05 |
| DJNomad | Is there a torrent client similar to utorrent on linux,I loved it | 00:05 |
| l337ingDisorder | unop: actually it is more helpful than just using the ls command because I need to run each one through partimage so this way I can just put that into the foreach loop | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | KevDog: hoistory | 00:05 |
| eli_ | Trying to make a custom app with bittorrent and there are seemingly no window libs | 00:06 |
| IntuitiveNipple | KevDog: history | grep findthis | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | KevDog: e.g. history | grep apt | 00:06 |
| bruenig | IntuitiveNipple: theif | 00:06 |
| bruenig | ActionParsnip1: theif | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Keve.g. history | less | 00:06 |
| unop | l337ingDisorder, right ok. | 00:06 |
| bruenig | thief* | 00:06 |
| hbekel | KevDog: C-r | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bruenig: thief? | 00:06 |
| l337ingDisorder | unop: but I definitely see your point :) | 00:06 |
| bruenig | indeed | 00:06 |
| IntuitiveNipple | KevDog: And when you find the command you want, you can repeat it by typing !<number> or bring it down for editing by typing !<number>:p then up-arrow | 00:06 |
| eli_ | So could someone pls tar this cause I can't right now cause of windows fail. http://www.mono-project.com/Bitsharp | 00:06 |
| DJNomad | ActionParsnip1, that command came back with errors device sdf without a number at all | 00:07 |
| joshjtl | can I install ubuntu via cd boot, then internet install? I've done it on other distros... | 00:07 |
| DJNomad | ActionParsnip1, *buch of errors and did not list a number | 00:07 |
| flx_ | eli_: Gimme a mo... | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DJNomad: if you run: sudo fdisk -l it will show you your disks as well as partitions, you can only mount partitions | 00:07 |
| KevDog | IntuitiveNipple: Nice command -- that was my next question -- however how am I going to remember that!!! Might need an alias | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bruenig: why and how am i a thief? | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | KevDog: man history ;) | 00:08 |
| IntuitiveNipple | KevDog: Read the bash man-pages: man bash | 00:08 |
| carpii__ | josh -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/Netboot | 00:08 |
| joshjtl | whoever decides on ubuntu art should really stop | 00:08 |
| ifroog | Question, How to change qt themes from gnome? | 00:09 |
| redvamp128 | eli_: It appears as though first you have to compile it then compile bitshark then add something called mono-curses to get a gui. (which you also have to compile) and on their main page they state this (Currently there are no precompiled binaries hosted anywhere. ) | 00:09 |
| carpii__ | actually that url is wrong, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet | 00:09 |
| flx_ | eli_: Hokay, they've borked their setup | 00:09 |
| flx_ | eli_: Send them a message or look around | 00:09 |
| eli_ | ugh | 00:09 |
| joshjtl | ubuntu has got to have the worst artwork of any distro... | 00:09 |
| joshjtl | thx carpii__ | 00:10 |
| sharef_ | is it possible to make a monitor on one computer act as a second display on another networked system?? | 00:10 |
| flx_ | joshjtl: Have you ever contributed to it? | 00:10 |
| carpii__ | well the art is easily replaceable, its not like its affecting anything | 00:10 |
| eli_ | Anyone know of a windows lib that can download a torrent program for use within VB or C++? | 00:10 |
| tom760 | Can anyone guide me with instructions how to figure out what old version of Ubuntu to install that would come with or be easilly upgradable to kernel 2.4.21 or 2.4.26? | 00:10 |
| Bodsda | sharef_, yes | 00:10 |
| IntuitiveNipple | sharef_: Yes, using xdmx | 00:10 |
| joshjtl | flx_: yes | 00:10 |
| cjae | is it going to matter (break nvidia-settings, xorg) if I upgrade my nvidia e-geforce 5200 with a nvidia e-geforce 6200? | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sharef_: you could vnc over? is that what you mean? | 00:10 |
| Bodsda | cjae, unlikely, there both relatively old cards | 00:11 |
| crdlb | cjae: in the same slot, it will work fine | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | eli_: if its a windows lib, ask in ##windows | 00:11 |
| flx_ | joshjtl: well then take ti to somewhere appropriate. | 00:11 |
| joshjtl | default art is supposed to be widely acceptable... it never has been | 00:11 |
| KevDog | man history == What a dry read! | 00:11 |
| hbekel | KevDog: Ctrl+r and type 'mount' to get at your last mount command. keep pressing Ctrl+r to move up through all matches | 00:11 |
| cjae | k thanks just got my disto running near flawlessly so I had to ask | 00:11 |
| sharef_ | nope not vnc, im pretty good at that | 00:11 |
| l337ingDisorder | unop: IntuitiveNipple: Ok so here's some weirdness. for part in /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*}; do echo -n "$part "; done; echo that works just fine if I paste it into bash and hit enter.. but if I put it into a bash script and replace the semi-colons with newlines, it just outputs /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*} | 00:12 |
| sharef_ | i want my laptop and desktop to share displays and clipboard data | 00:12 |
| Bodsda | joshjtl, i think your discussing the art issue in the wrong place, try #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-art | 00:12 |
| nbeebo | hi when im opening a movie with vlc this happens: http://pastebin.com/m5952e2eb | 00:12 |
| IntuitiveNipple | l337ingDisorder: The semi-colon after the for part in... should remain if you follow it with do | 00:12 |
| joshjtl | Bodsda: its not offtopic... its ubuntu | 00:12 |
| nbeebo | and the vlc window shuts down right away | 00:12 |
| l337ingDisorder | IntuitiveNipple: do is on its own line | 00:12 |
| Bodsda | joshjtl, yes but it is not a support question which is what this channel is for, so yes it is offtopic | 00:12 |
| joshjtl | Bodsda: ok i guess your right (I say, begrudgingly) | 00:13 |
| l337ingDisorder | IntuitiveNipple: unop: http://pastebin.com/m7af5178b | 00:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | l337ingDisorder: Tested here it works fine | 00:14 |
| KevDog | hbekel: nice trick also | 00:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | l337ingDisorder: http://pastebin.com/d6e60a3ff | 00:14 |
| Bodsda | joshjtl, thaNKS | 00:15 |
| Bodsda | oops | 00:15 |
| l337ingDisorder | IntuitiveNipple: must just be something earlier in the script borking it, cause if I copy and paste the for loop (even multi-line) into bash it works, but the script doesn't (even though everything else is commented out) | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nbeebo: --enable-mp4 its a compile option and is default in nthe standard vlc from repos | 00:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | IntuitiveNipple: I'll start a new one. | 00:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | Happy 4:20!!! | 00:16 |

| ActionParsnip1 | nbeebo: see if you can find the error in websearches | 00:19 |
| l337ingDisorder | unop: after the whole #!/bin/bash line or just the shebang itself? | 00:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rpgsimmaster: That's an interesting scenario ... I wonder if the NetworkManager developers thought about that ? | 00:20 |
| billybigrigger_\ | anyone here use an hp mini? or the hp mini ubuntu theme? | 00:20 |
| vanhacker | how can configure flash for volvo ocean race in mozilla | 00:20 |

| unop | l337ingDisorder, on line #2 :) i.e. not on the shebang line | 00:20 |
| rpgsimmaster | we have an ADSL connection, and we have a local system which we like to use Direct Connect for | 00:20 |
| rpgsimmaster | Windows works fine | 00:20 |
| nbeebo | ActionParsnip1, ok | 00:20 |
| rpgsimmaster | Mac doesn't without a certain program, and I can't figure out how to do it in Ubuntu | 00:21 |
| l337ingDisorder | unop: Oh i see.. tx | 00:21 |
| unop | l337ingDisorder, you could put it on the shebang like this. #!/bin/bash -B | 00:21 |

| cybercom | can anyone help me | 00:23 |
| rpgsimmaster | IntuitiveNipple - Unfortunately I'm not quite sure how to do that. I could do that to my eth0, but how do I stop NM from managing it, and also set it up to automatically connect? | 00:23 |
| cybercom | i had add another harddrive into my PC, after i put it, i just do the partition and reformat but i cant create any files on the hard disk and ther is only 1 files which named lost+found. so how can i solve this issues | 00:24 |
| rpgsimmaster | cybercom - reformat it how, and with what? | 00:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rpgsimmaster: If you configure any interface in /etc/network/interfaces that infers it will be manually managed, and NM will leave it alone | 00:24 |

| IntuitiveNipple | rpgsimmaster: Simply remove the entry for that interface (or comment it out) from /etc/network/interfaces | 00:25 |
| rpgsimmaster | IntuitiveNipple: Thank you very much - I'll give it a go | 00:25 |
| unop | looter, any directory you like, preferably a new directory - aptly named | 00:25 |

| bpat1434 | how can I check to see if xinetd is in fact running? | 00:26 |
| IntuitiveNipple | cybercom: It sounds as if the disk is mounted as 'root' and your current user ID doesn't have write permissions to it | 00:26 |
| unop | looter, /usr/src | 00:26 |
| rpgsim[away] | IntuitiveNipple: Okay, new problem - my /etc/network/interfaces file doesn't list eth0 - it looks like this: auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback | 00:27 |
| looter | or doesn't it matter after I run the install script? | 00:27 |
| cybercom | so.... how to change it | 00:27 |
| mikewu | bpat1434: ps -ef | grep xinetd | 00:27 |
| unop | looter, but you'll probably need to be in the same group as that owning /usr/src -- which is probably 'src' itself | 00:27 |
| cybercom | so.... how to change it .... i means getting permission | 00:27 |
| sd32 | flash 10 is driving me nuts and is too buggy | 00:27 |
| bpat1434 | mikewu, thanks. | 00:27 |
| rpgsim[away] | cybercom: sudo or su and run a shell or a file manager from the shell | 00:27 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rpgsim[away]: precisely... and because of that NM manages the interface. As soon as you add an entry for an interface to that file (and restart NM) NM will ignore it. | 00:27 |

| mal|lappy | Hello, for some reason I am unable to kill VLC which is running (shows up in TOP using 100% of cpu). How do I force it to close? killall vlc and kill pid dosent work | 00:36 |
| Flannel | fde: `sudo adduser user group` is faster. And you are less likely to make a mistake. | 00:36 |
| DJNomad | cybercom, you can also right click on a folder higher up than the one you need to change and open as root | 00:36 |
| ifroog | Question, How to change qt themes from gnome? | 00:36 |
| CrocoJet | other question, the pulse audio project .. failed? | 00:36 |
| ifroog | Question2, How do you shade a window in gnome? | 00:36 |
| DJNomad | cybercom, opening the filesystem like that deletes the purpose of having a safe system | 00:37 |
| cybercom | Flannel: that option was disable | 00:37 |
| fde | Flannel: umm, I beg to differ .... unless you're using an inefficient editor | 00:37 |
| mikewu | vip3rousmango: should be in your home directory in a folder called PDF | 00:37 |
| Flannel | fde: Alright, well, regardless of what you believe, please recommend that people use adduser in this channel, thanks. | 00:38 |
| nny | I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed on an acer aspire one. Restarted the computer and can no longer get wifi or ethernet. Both were working fine before the restart. Any suggestions to get them back? | 00:38 |
| mikewu | mal|lappy: try pkill -9 vlc | 00:38 |
| vip3rousmango | mikewu: thanks, found it.. | 00:38 |
| fde | ifroog: System > Preferences > Windows ... there is an option for "Double Click action" that you can change to "Shade" ... | 00:38 |
| DJNomad | nny they may be resticted drivers,I think i have had to re enable drivers after a updaye | 00:39 |
| mrwes | fde, thanks....that's a new one for me too :) | 00:39 |
| fde | ifroog: also, Compiz has an option to shade with the mouse wheel... but I'm not sure where it is | 00:39 |
| hlm | klamav cant update, I just installed it can someone help me with this? | 00:39 |
| cybercom | Flannel: the option ws disabled...... can i do it in command or any other way | 00:40 |
| fde | ifroog: stumbled upon it once when I was messing around with simple-ccsm ... | 00:40 |
| ifroog | fde, Tx :) | 00:40 |
| nny | DJNomad should I reinstall them or is there a more efficient way to reenable them? | 00:40 |
| DJNomad | nny look in the resticted drivers and see iif they are enabled | 00:41 |
| Flannel | cybercom: What option was disabled? Do you mean DJNomad instead of me? | 00:41 |
| DJNomad | nny I am newbie I dont know much but think my video card had to be enabled once | 00:41 |
| nbeebo | is it possible to merge avi's? and if so, in a fast way? | 00:41 |
| mrwes | fde, do you know where I can enable GNOME to make coffee :) | 00:41 |
| ifroog | fde, Yeah, In gnome its called rollup, In windows settings. Tx ! | 00:42 |
| mrwes | nbeebo, avimerge | 00:42 |
| nbeebo | mrwes thanks and love <3 | 00:42 |
| nny | DJNomad, thanks for the help but i am a newbie as well, how do i see if they are enabled and if not how do i enable them? | 00:42 |
| mrwes | nbeebo, from the command line... works very well too -- you can also use avisplit from the CLI | 00:42 |
| cybercom | Flannel: when i right click on the hdd..... in the permission folder. ... the options are disabled | 00:42 |
| nbeebo | mrwes yeah... its not in the repos tho :( dont worry ill fix it | 00:43 |
| hhihio | hi .. i can access a computer through ssh & httpd but i cannot access web from inside it (e.g wget)... | 00:43 |
| hhihio | what could be the problem? | 00:44 |
| nbeebo | mrwes, ops its in a meta-package | 00:44 |
| mrwes | nbeebo, I believe it's part of transcode | 00:44 |
| cybercom | Flannel: | 00:44 |
| cybercom | Flannel: | 00:45 |
| fde | !search avimerge | 00:45 |
| ubottu | Found: | 00:45 |
| keystr0k | anyone know of a command line tool to combine images into a pdf? | 00:45 |
| hhihio | ping isn't working too | 00:46 |
| fde | !find avimerge | 00:46 |
| cybercom | Flannel: are you there | 00:46 |
| ubottu | File avimerge found in transcode | 00:46 |
| mrwes | fde: just what I said :) | 00:46 |
| === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela | ||
| fde | mrwes: don't like people guessing :) plus it gave me a reason to figure out what the ubottu command was for searching contents of packages :) | 00:46 |
| Flannel | cybercom: Right. You browse graphically without administrator privledges, so you can't modify things normally. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? | 00:47 |
| mrwes | fde, well he was only a google away from the answer :) | 00:47 |
| Flannel | cybercom: Also, you don't need to repeat. | 00:47 |
| mrwes | fde, so you were guessing on the command aye? | 00:47 |
| cybercom | i'm trying to save all my data inside my 2nd hdd | 00:47 |
| cybercom | but the thing is i cant even create single folder..... so how to solve it | 00:48 |
| Thisdude | obviously not hard enough | 00:48 |

| LUCASUSER | hola | 00:50 |
| DJNomad | freakin electricity went out on me for minute | 00:50 |
| nny | DJNomad i don't see any of the drivers in the "Hardware Drivers" window but i don't remember what was there before. | 00:50 |
| mrwes | cybercom, how did you mount the drive? in /etc/fstab or manually? | 00:50 |
| tiredbones | what would be a command to check for wifi support? | 00:50 |
| cybercom | no | 00:50 |
| cybercom | i in manually | 00:50 |
| alienkid | Hi guys my brother's computer(using WUBI) is going to fsck on lib/init/rw/rootdev in 3 mounts and we were wondering how to up it(to infinite if possible) because every time it happens we have to reinstall because it fails. | 00:51 |
| cybercom | by right click and mount the volume | 00:51 |
| mrwes | cybercom, and where is the mount point? /media/???? | 00:51 |
| DJNomad | nny i dunno maybe you can get it fixed by doing a updaye and adding the live cd as update source | 00:51 |
| cybercom | yup | 00:51 |
| sanenick | any ideas? | 00:51 |
| === LUCASUSER is now known as q^o^p | ||
| mrwes | cybercom, and what are the permissions of the mount point? | 00:51 |
| cybercom | ...../media/disk | 00:51 |
| mrwes | cybercom, and owner of the mount point? | 00:52 |
| rpgsimmaster | Back! | 00:52 |
| cybercom | the permission could not be determined | 00:52 |
| rpgsimmaster | cybercom: still sorting the format problem? | 00:53 |
| cybercom | and when i enter the drive ... it show as root as the ownre | 00:53 |
| cybercom | yup | 00:53 |
| nny | DJNomad don't have the live cd but have the iso, can i use that? | 00:53 |
| mikewu | alienkid: install tune2fs and follow this http://www.slackwiki.org/Forced_Fsck | 00:53 |
| cybercom | rpgsimmaster: yes | 00:53 |
| alienkid | Mikewu it is | 00:53 |
| alienkid | install | 00:53 |
| DJNomad | nny not sure it would help anyway but i imagine you could mount it and direct it to the mount | 00:54 |
| mrwes | tiredbones, iwlist scan from the terminal command line | 00:54 |
| cybercom | mrwes: | 00:54 |
| alienkid | mikewu: I can't up it on lib/init/rw/rootdev | 00:54 |
| mrwes | cybercom, from the terminal type chown username:username /media/disk | 00:56 |

| nubuntu | and other widnows | 01:02 |
| nubuntu | somebody can tell me why? | 01:03 |
| mrwes | slestak, sudo chmod 770 to the mount point directory | 01:03 |
| DJNomad | sd32 you should always "shop" for progs within ubuntu if you can | 01:03 |
| KevDog | Is there an apt-history command also? | 01:03 |
| slestak | mrwes: im logged in as him right now. he's 10, so he doesnt have sudo or anything. he has it mounted, and he remove tracks in rhythmbox | 01:03 |

| SmackPotat | should ejabberd be running by default | 01:04 |
| KevDog | Something from CLI other than synaptic | 01:04 |
| sd32 | DJNomad, thats wierd its checked | 01:04 |
| mrwes | slestak, you need to change the permission of the mount point to allow you to write to it | 01:04 |
| mrwes | KevDog, dunno | 01:04 |
| KevDog | nny: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 01:04 |
| slestak | he is logged in, he has 700, so he can write to it, and he cannot delete tracks | 01:05 |
| DJNomad | sd32 you need to restart firefox before it will work on websites | 01:05 |
| sd32 | DJNomad, yeah ive been having problems with version 10 | 01:05 |
| wkerzend | where do the display drivers hide these days? I looked in the good old xorg.conf but there it just states configured device but not which drivers are used. Is there a gui now for these things? cheers | 01:06 |
| nny | KevDog is a restart required after doing that? | 01:06 |
| slestak | mrwes: he is logged in, he has 700, so he can write to it, and he cannot delete tracks | 01:06 |
| jonkenny007 | can anyone help me with a "Listen" music player problem? | 01:06 |
| DJNomad | wkerzend, there is a restricted drivers gui thing somewhere | 01:06 |
| KevDog | nny: I don't think so, why? | 01:06 |
| slestak | mrwes: im sure he could do it in bash, but im trying to troubleshoot rhythmbox | 01:06 |
| mrwes | slestak, 700 is read/write/exec for root only | 01:06 |
| sd32 | DJNomad, thanks got it working | 01:06 |

| Ryan_Chau | i let the files replace each other, and when it restarted i was having problem with the drivers | 01:11 |
| Ryan_Chau | i think the network card driver is corrupted, i was wondering if i could get that somewhere | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ifroog: what have you recently changed with it? | 01:11 |
| exodus_ms | Ryan_Chau, more than likely your system defaulted to the open source drivers, you may need to enable restricted drivers | 01:11 |
| slestak | mrwes: 700 says owner has rwx, group and world has none. | 01:12 |
| KevDog | nny: Lets just see if eth0 can work. sudo ifconfig wlan0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 up && sudo dhclient eth0 | 01:12 |
| sanenick | ifroog: he doesn't like you | 01:12 |
| Ryan_Chau | that sounds good, how do i enable the restricted drivers, I am new to ubuntu | 01:12 |
| slestak | mrwes: the mountpoint i pasted says joey owns it | 01:12 |

| Ryan_Chau | is there a manual way to install drivers into it, download them somewhere, and transfer them into the pc? | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sd32: just use that command and you are golden | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ifroog: are you running 64bit linux? | 01:15 |
| exodus_ms | Ryan_Chau, the driver for your wifi card is probably still there, just not enabled because it is proprietary | 01:15 |

| danbhfive_jaunty | Is there a way to get a harddrive to power down when not in use? I have one that is unmounted, yet, it still feels like its spinning, and its giving off plenty of heat (so its clearly on). | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DVA5912: its part of getting internet on vbox, I'd the vbox will need configuring to use networking which you can do once the guest system is powered off | 01:19 |
| dkulchenko | fnordpro: try the alternate install cd | 01:19 |
| KevDog | nny: so forget the wlan0 part - but I see that the wireless driver for your wireless card is incorrect | 01:19 |

| dkulchenko | fnordpro: it has support for lvm, not sure about encryption, though. it's not gui, however, if that makes a difference | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sd32: nonfree is for both | 01:19 |
| nny | KevDog is there a way to just reset all of this? | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sd32: the tar.gz file is a native 64bit plugin for 64bit systems and is awesome | 01:20 |

| ActionParsnip1 | ifroog: ok now you know your profile is to blame | 01:20 |
| Ryan_Chau | how do I reformat ubuntu and reinstall it? i think i need a fresh install to fix my problem | 01:20 |
| KevDog | nny: What do you want to reset? | 01:20 |
| JohnSmith | Ryan_Chau: what is your problem? | 01:20 |
| loadepfaref | i can't paste because i need to get apt-get working in order to download wgetpaste | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ifroog: your old settings (stored passwords / faves) are in ~/.mozilla_old | 01:21 |
| KevDog | nny: reboot, however I doubt it will do much but you could try | 01:21 |

| loadepfaref | can someone msg me how to fix error - don't just say it cuz i can't see who its directed too | 01:21 |
| Ryan_Chau | it says it can't find a active network when I plug in my cat5 cable for internet, but when i plug it into my laptop which is also running ubuntu it works | 01:21 |
| DVA5912 | ActionParsnip1: Its setup as a automatic | 01:21 |
| fnordpro | dkulchenko: thanks. is alternate install a different iso or do i need to select it during boot? | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ifroog: you can either rebuild a new profile, or rename back to work out whats what | 01:21 |
| nny | KevDog I guess my ethernet and wifi since neither are working. I've restarted twice already. | 01:21 |
| Ryan_Chau | but I do have a ubuntu.iso file so i was thinking about burning it and reinstalling it again | 01:21 |
| JohnSmith | Ryan_Chau: in your terminal use the command "ifconfig" to see if you have eth0. | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DVA5912: check the config, it may not be set to use networking | 01:21 |
| Ryan_Chau | okay | 01:21 |
| DJNomad | ActionParsnip1, I got the device found as a scsi5 using the usb adapter ,you think that would help? | 01:21 |
| JohnSmith | Ryan_Chau: if you don't, try sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DVA5912: you have to manually appy the settings to get web access though | 01:22 |
| KevDog | nny: Post your info in the forums in the networking section. Youve got big time driver errors then -- maybe. Hard to know without all the facts! | 01:22 |
| dkulchenko | fnordpro: different iso | 01:22 |
| DVA5912 | ActionParsnip1: im not sure you know what im doing. The vm sees the Dell Axim X5 but it wont active sync. It wont see it on active sync. | 01:22 |
| dkulchenko | fnordpro: it's a completely text-based installer, if you're okay with that | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DJNomad: as long as it can be named as a raw device /dev<something> you can mount it | 01:22 |
| sd32 | ActionParsnip1, arrrg stickam still isnt coming up correctly | 01:22 |
| sanenick | i can access a computer through ssh & httpd but i cannot access web from inside it (e.g wget)..how to fix that? | 01:23 |
| ruediger | hi | 01:23 |
| Ryan_Chau | no i wasn't able to | 01:23 |
| nny | KevDog ok thanks. I'm trying to avoid reinstalling everything is there a way to just reinstall all my drivers without already having internet? | 01:23 |
| JohnSmith | Ryan_Chau: was not able to what? | 01:23 |
| Ryan_Chau | okay i'll try the other command | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DVA5912: active sync? | 01:23 |
| KevDog | nny: YES! | 01:23 |
| jonkenny007 | Thanks ActionParsnip1 | 01:23 |
| DVA5912 | ActionParsnip1: its a tool MS uses to sync devices. Its needed to sync. Unless ubuntu has another way | 01:23 |
| jonkenny007 | smbmount is working | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DVA5912: oh like some pda thing? | 01:24 |
| Ryan_Chau | it says unable to resolve host dslextreme | 01:24 |
| DJNomad | ActionParsnip1, can you post the command again ,sorry i lost it and tried one found on website and its saying cant find in fstab mstab | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jonkenny007: np man | 01:24 |
| Ryan_Chau | but i can't find the dslextreme host anywhere | 01:24 |
| DVA5912 | ActionParsnip1: Yes | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DJNomad: sudo fdisk -l | 01:24 |
| Ryan_Chau | besides during the login screen, on the bottom right it says dslextreme\\ | 01:24 |
| Ryan_Chau | or something, i think that's the computer or network name, but i don't know how to get to it | 01:24 |
| jonkenny007 | One more question thought.. stupid i know, but i am new.. how do I give permission to my user to mount the drive (smbmount) without sudo use? | 01:24 |
| jonkenny007 | is there a way? | 01:24 |

| slestak | mrwes: with no changes to mountpoint, the user joey can delete files individually in bash. | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ruediger: you can use any bootloader you can name (except windows) | 01:26 |
| nny | KevDog k | 01:26 |
| jonkenny007 | ActionParsnip1: thanks, i know how to do that, but i am trying to make an icon or launcher that would mount when i click, like the ones under the "places" for the local windows partition | 01:26 |
| jonkenny007 | is there a way? | 01:27 |
| DJNomad | ActionParsnip1, its not showing up on that but it does doing a tail-f /var/log/messages | 01:27 |
| ruediger | ActionParsnip1: but will it work with raid,dm-crypt,lvm? | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jonkenny007: once mounted, you can add it to places in nautilus | 01:27 |

| exodus_ms | Ryan_Chau, are you trying to enable a wireless or wired connection. By the way, how are you connected right now | 01:56 |

| Ryan_Chau | exodus_ms, i am trying to enable a wired connection, i'm on another wired connection right now on my pc | 01:57 |
| weshley | willie_; there are several irc chat programs native to linux but its not unheard of to windows emulate mIRC if you must have it, but i dont really see the logic in that | 01:57 |

| willie_ | how can i mirror my ubuntu hard drive or save it at least | 01:59 |
| dlublink | Ok, my problem is I need asterisk 1.2 and it won't compile on 8.04 | 01:59 |
| fde | dlublink: it will never get security updates again, for instance | 01:59 |
| fde | dlublink: why do you need an old version? | 01:59 |
| dooco | ok i am just gonna ask the question. the highest resolution i can get is 1152x864 it is showing my intel card as installed video adapter how can i get it to regognise my card so i can use 1280x1024 at least | 01:59 |
| fde | dlublink: use the version in 8.04.2 | 01:59 |

| Ryan_Chau | okay, but i am new to ubuntu so how do i use the sudo? | 02:05 |

| Ryan_Chau | do i go in the termnal and type in? sudo /etc/network/interfaces | 02:05 |

| dooco | sorry usser i am coming back in the middle of the conversation | 02:08 |
| dooco | the previous terminal command restarted my pc | 02:09 |
| usser | yfk, the thread i sent you mentions something about journaling in hfs+ and ubuntu unable to utilize it, theres also some helpful debugging commands, like looking at dmesg output when mounting the partition | 02:09 |
| fde | yfk: btw, do not ask Ubuntu questions in #debian ... they do not support Ubuntu. | 02:09 |

| dooco | usser i tried that command u sent me before the link and it loked my pc so i had to restart | 02:10 |
| boot_loop | OrlandoBloom: make sure your boot order in your bios is set to check for CD-rom first, then boot from it | 02:10 |
| fde | boot_loop: most ubuntu programs are debian packages recompiled for ubuntu build environments... they may be heavily patched though to compile on the newer stuff | 02:10 |
| DVA5912 | I have a Dell Axim Cradle. Does it need to be pluged into power outlet before i can sync? and if so, can i use a 6 v adapter? its all i got thats close enough | 02:10 |

| usser | dooco, really? | 02:11 |
| dooco | yup | 02:11 |
| usser | dooco, hm thats weird | 02:11 |

| usser | dooco, no its fine, since hardy ubuntu autodetects your resolutions/monitors | 02:25 |
| fde | chort27: means thats not the video line... so it returned nothing... lspci | grep -i vga | 02:25 |
| usser | dooco, no need to explicitly specify it | 02:25 |
| dooco | ok | 02:25 |
| dTx | Hi I'm totally not on Jaunty and am on Intrepid, do you know how I can, after commenting out the xorg-edgers repo, revert to the official packages | 02:25 |
| bruenig | merther: what are you mounting exactly? another partition, drive? or is this some sort of samba share or what | 02:25 |
| dTx | their version number is less so an upgrade won't work | 02:25 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | dTx: have you tried just apt-get installing the package? | 02:26 |
| chort27 | fde: VGA Compatible controller: ATI Technologies INC Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] | 02:26 |
| dTx | the version number in xorg-edgers is higher so it just says its already installed | 02:26 |
| merther | samba share... so on that computer I can mount a folder called shared using 192.168.1.2/shared but it has an issue with 192.168.1.2/my%20documents | 02:26 |
| tested2 | danhbfive_jaunty: got it working thanks also had to purge mysql-common | 02:26 |
| DJNomad | http://pastebin.com/d78cd6467 | 02:26 |
| dTx | is there a way to tell apt-get to force install only currently available versions? | 02:26 |
| dTx | in current repos? | 02:27 |
| fde | chort27: lsmod | grep fglrx return anything (just yes or no) | 02:27 |
| kitche | dTx: you have to tell apt the specific version if you are downgrading | 02:27 |
| DJNomad | if anyone knows how to find it fast would ya pleast | 02:27 |
| bruenig | merther: well I would guess you want to put my\ documents, or perhaps quote the entire thing "my documents" | 02:27 |
| usser | dooco, it looks fine | 02:27 |
| DJNomad | I am new and it is crazy | 02:27 |
| dTx | is there a way to show what versions are available? | 02:27 |
| usser | dooco, no errors or anything. are you running compiz right now? | 02:27 |
| dooco | weird aint it :) | 02:27 |
| dTx | like in apt-cache search or something | 02:27 |
| merther | tried that but it didn't work, though that was a while ago when I had another problem. I'll try that again real quick. | 02:27 |
| fde | chort27: Also, what version of Ubuntu? Older versions, fglrx didn't support compositing | 02:27 |
| usser | dooco, cant imagine why glxinfo would lock your machine | 02:27 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | tested2: cool | 02:27 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | dTx: apt-cache policy will show you the versions | 02:27 |
| chort27 | fde: grep: return: No such file or directory | 02:27 |
| dooco | where is compiz | 02:28 |
| usser | dooco, disable compiz if running, and try glxinfo again, only dont restart try killing xserver if it locks down with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE | 02:28 |
| fde | tell me exactly what you typed... there is no reason for it to return that chort27 | 02:28 |
| usser | dooco, 3d effects, cube wobbly windows etc | 02:28 |
| chort27 | fdeL 8.04 | 02:28 |
| chort27 | fde: lsmod | grep fglrx return anything | 02:28 |
| usser | dooco, you need 1280x1024 right? | 02:28 |
| merther | when I do either of those things it says it can't find the mount point in fstab | 02:28 |
| dooco | yup | 02:28 |
| dooco | thats all i need | 02:28 |
| bruenig | merther: ask in #samba | 02:29 |
| fde | chort27: #ubuntu-ppc ... I would guess there is no fglrx driver for ppc though | 02:29 |
| merther | ty | 02:29 |
| chort27 | I've seen a few with it working fde | 02:29 |
| usser | dooco, pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:29 |
| dooco | http://paste.ubuntu.com/120402/ | 02:30 |
| fde | chort27: uhh... make that #ubuntu-powerpc ... they'll know more, PPC isn't even officially supported since Apple switched platforms unfortunately.... other distros have official support | 02:31 |

| DJNomad | lol | 02:37 |
| Ryan_Chau | danbhfive_jaunty: but i did download and burn a cd so that i am ready to reformat i just need to figure out how to delete it | 02:37 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | Ryan_Chau: so, you want to wipe everything, and start with a fresh install? | 02:37 |
| usser | dooco, and replace it with http://paste.ubuntu.com/120404/ | 02:37 |
| Ryan_Chau | danbhfive_jaunty: yes that would be great, if you could please point me in the right direction! | 02:37 |
| DJNomad | ryan you install and that deletes it | 02:37 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | Ryan_Chau: well, if you boot the cd, and go through the install process, at a certain point, you will get to the partitioner. Either ask it to delete everything and partition automatically, or if you do it manually, just mark the partitions for reformat | 02:38 |
| austin_ | i'm trying to install tibia, a mmo for linux, i can't get it to work | 02:38 |

| dooco | usser then do i just ctrl alt bkspc to reload it or do i have to restart | 02:40 |
| usser | dooco, yea ctrl+alt+backspace should do | 02:40 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | Ryan_Chau: so, you should click the "install now" icon on the desktop | 02:40 |
| DJNomad | it is diff on diff comps mine is delete | 02:40 |

| Ishmael | | got me nowhere | 03:17 |
| Dracie | night-wm, most logs are in /var/log | 03:17 |
| Dracie | Ishmael, that would be a pipe, it is for streaming text to another command | 03:17 |

| greg | Hi, humbly requesting help w/ seamless remote desktop ( http://www.cendio.com/seamlessrdp/ ) on xubuntu / 8.10 | 03:22 |
| x__ | hey wats is a gud program to use with .ppt (power point presentations) | 03:22 |
| ldiamond | x__, your only chance is probably OpenOffice | 03:23 |
| ldiamond | x__, of course, Powerpoint through Wine or CrossOver Office. | 03:23 |
| x__ | really thats my only chance.... wat about abi word? anything their | 03:24 |
| Nasra | Dracie: negative did not shut down | 03:24 |
| Dracie | Nasra, hmm what machine model do you have? | 03:24 |
| ldiamond | x__, http://www.osalt.com/powerpoint | 03:24 |
| Ishmael | any easy way to get ls to go into a text file with spaces instead of line breaks? | 03:25 |
| Ishmael | i need it in one continuous line :( | 03:25 |
| rods | I'm running Ubuntu on a quad core. It seems to prefer one CPU over the rest. Is there a way to better distribute that? Is it more efficient to load on one? I'm not too keen on the ups and downs of serial vs. parallel processing in Linux... | 03:25 |
| Daft_Punk | Ishmael, if you mean you want to CD into a folder with spaces you do folder\ name | 03:25 |
| Daft_Punk | assuming the folder is called 'folder name' | 03:25 |
| night-wm | dracie, i see "PreInit failed for input device 'Configured Mouse'" | 03:25 |
| Ishmael | no, i need a list of all the files within a folder, but in one line, without <br>'s | 03:26 |
| ldiamond | Ishmael, What about replace all? | 03:26 |
| Ishmael | how do i enter an enter into replace all? | 03:26 |
| Ishmael | that's my problem ;( it just tries to find when i hit enter, if i knew the keyboard code it would be easier...maybe? | 03:26 |
| ldiamond | Well, if your editor supports regexp | 03:26 |
| ScottG489 | Whats a good network manager. I have the one that comes with Ubuntu but it doesnt let me use AES encription. | 03:27 |
| ldiamond | Ishmael, with gedit, you can use \n as "new line" | 03:27 |
| Dracie | night-wm, I am not sure how to fix it - i think the best way to configure it would to be through hal | 03:27 |
| ldiamond | Ishmael, so in gedit replace all \n for a whitespace | 03:27 |
| rods | Any ideas? | 03:28 |
| ldiamond | Ishmael, you can most likely do this directly via command line with a substition, not sure how to do that in bash tho | 03:28 |
| night-wm | dracie, how do i go about doing that | 03:28 |
| ldiamond | Anyone know how to get the Back and Forward mouse button to work in Nautilus (Ubuntu 8.10)? | 03:28 |

| ldiamond | My back and forward button work well in firefox. | 03:31 |
| ScottG489 | ldiamond: It doesn't have it listed in any of the options when I try to make a custom network connection | 03:31 |
| ldiamond | In the mouse properties, I can get the light to light up when I click my back and forward buttons | 03:31 |
| ldiamond | ScottG489, It shouldnt be an option, are you talking about Wireless connection? | 03:31 |
| Nasra | Dracie: it d | 03:32 |
| ldiamond | ScottG489, AES is a symetric key block cipher that is used commonly in WPA2 and TLSv1. | 03:32 |
| jkristheking | ldiamond: what kinda mouse you using | 03:32 |
| ldiamond | jkristheking, Logitech G5 | 03:32 |
| Nasra | Dracie: my coputer keep rebooting when I click shut up....why is it doing ...need some help on how to stop this.... | 03:33 |
| Nasra | thanks in advance | 03:33 |
| ScottG489 | ldiamond: Yes, I need to to connect to my schools wifi. | 03:33 |
| Dracie | Nasra, what parts do you have/what computer model? | 03:33 |
| mlissner | Has anybody noticed the way that when you resume from suspend, it flashes the contents of your screen sometimes? | 03:34 |
| ldiamond | ScottG489, Then, you don't decide what cipher you use, the Wireless router does. | 03:34 |
| Nasra | it's a compaq AMD64 | 03:34 |
| mlissner | It seems like a security concern, but I'm curious if it's just me. | 03:34 |
| greg | Anyone have any experience w/ seamless remote desktop? | 03:34 |
| ldiamond | mlissner, it doesnt flash for me, and thats not really a security concern | 03:35 |
| x__ | has any one here used pphtml? | 03:35 |
| Nasra | Dracie: 512ram 120gb compaq AMD64... | 03:35 |
| Dracie | Nasra, a model number? | 03:35 |
| Nasra | Dracie: Compaq Presario | 03:35 |
| Scunizi | Dracie: could be Nasra has an acpi issue.. but I'm just guessing | 03:35 |
| mlissner | ldiamond, it's doesn't always do it, but it could be a concern, because it could allow somebody to see the contents of your screen, when they should see the password prompt... | 03:35 |
| Dracie | yeah Scunizi good call | 03:36 |
| ScottG489 | ldiamond: Yes but I still think I need to enable it somehow. I looked at my schools Windows XP guide to find out what kind of wireless settings I needed and AES along with PEAP and WPA were some of the things it mentioned. There seems to be an option for all of those things in NetworkManager besides AES | 03:36 |
| Scunizi | Dracie: kernel line? acpi=off or someting? | 03:36 |
| ldiamond | mlissner, for a fraction of a second. Did you know you could dump the entire memory to a firewire device only with physical access? Thats a security concern | 03:36 |
| Dracie | Nasra, you could try rebooting with the boot optioned added acpi=off | 03:37 |
| idefine | I just installed ubuntu server, I get to grub loading, please wait... and then it give me an Error 14, any ideas why this could be? I did a raid 5 install for the drives. | 03:37 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| Nasra | it's really weird I installed a sound card the a couple days ago.....could it be that .. | 03:37 |
| Nasra | okay | 03:37 |
| jkristheking | ldiamond: hmm | 03:37 |
| ldiamond | ScottG489, AES isnt a choice you have, but your hardware has to support it. | 03:37 |
| mlissner | ldiamond, that's certainly a concern too. So does this mean it does it to you too? | 03:37 |
| Dracie | Nasra, do you know how? | 03:37 |
| ldiamond | mlissner, the flash on resume, no. | 03:37 |
| Nasra | hitting f10 when rebooting correct? | 03:37 |
| === cary_ is now known as Commie_Cary | ||
| ldiamond | mlissner, most likely a video driver issue, check if you can get a newer version of the restricted video driver of your hardware. | 03:38 |
| Nasra | Dracie: letme try that....be right back.... | 03:38 |
| Dracie | Nasra, when it says grub or something, press escape and then press e to edit the first boot option, then press e again to edit the actual boot parameters | 03:39 |
| Dracie | add acpi=off to the end and press enter | 03:39 |
| Nasra | Dracie: okay | 03:39 |
| Dracie | and then press b | 03:39 |
| Dracie | isn't acpi really only for laptops anyways? | 03:40 |
| ldiamond | ScottG489, if you absolutely want another network manager, WICD is nice. | 03:40 |
| anteaya | are there known issues with ibex and firefox? trying to help a friend who just downloaded a bunch of system upgrades and now firefox is running very slow though not using a lot of memory. Suggestions? | 03:40 |
| Dracie | night-wm, sorry I can't seem to find a solution =[ | 03:40 |
| Dracie | what version of the G5 do you have? | 03:40 |
| bbelt16ag | hey how do I find out when a package was installed? | 03:41 |
| night-wm | dracie, um well it's the orange one | 03:41 |
| anteaya | I have searched for ibex and firefox but there is no definitive issue or solution posted | 03:41 |
| ldiamond | anteaya, there are issues yes, some are with Flash tho. | 03:41 |
| Dracie | night-wm, it might say something on the bottom of it | 03:41 |
| Dracie | like revision 7 or smthng | 03:41 |
| ldiamond | anteaya, you might want to use Firefox's binaries instead of the Ubuntu package | 03:41 |
| anteaya | ldiamond, what is the issue with Flash? | 03:41 |
| ldiamond | anteaya, check the CPU usage of Firefox too | 03:41 |
| ScottG489 | ldiamond: Hey sry i went out to the grill | 03:41 |
| Scunizi | anteaya: have them rename ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla.backup and restart FF to see what happens. | 03:42 |
| ldiamond | anteaya, Made firefox crash and high CPU usage | 03:42 |
| anteaya | Scunizi, will try that, thanks | 03:42 |
| ldiamond | anteaya, the newest binaries from Adobe should solve it | 03:42 |
| Scunizi | anteaya: could just be a plugin or adon that's messing things up | 03:42 |
| Dracie | most of the biggest issues with firefox are fixed by removing fconfigs | 03:42 |
| ldiamond | ScottG489, WICD is a good network manager, but I dont believe it will solve your problem | 03:42 |
| ScottG489 | ldiamond: is WICD better then the nm applet? I would think there would be something better then the default one that comes with ubuntu. It seems kinda small too | 03:42 |
| Scunizi | ldiamond: how do you get Firefox binaries from Adobe..???? | 03:42 |
| ldiamond | Scunizi, You get Flash binaries from adobe. | 03:43 |
| night-wm | dracie, nope there's nothing under there. just a P/N and a PID. | 03:43 |
| marshall | does anybody know a way to improve Skype call quality in Intrepid? | 03:43 |
| bbelt16ag | hey how would I roll back a version of growisofs? | 03:43 |
| ldiamond | Scunizi, check a few lines back, I stated the Flash issue. | 03:43 |
| pHreaksYcle | marshall: it all depends on your microphone settings and internet connection | 03:43 |
| pHreaksYcle | marshall: not much more | 03:43 |
| night-wm | dracie, the P/N is 831411-1000 | 03:44 |
| anteaya | ldiamond, Scunizi thanks guys, transmitted the rename suggestion and will go from there | 03:44 |
| ldiamond | ScottG489, Better, I dont know, I used to use WICD back a few months ago... it works well, but I have no problem with the default nm now | 03:44 |
| marshall | pHreaksYcle, how do i optimize my internet settings for skype? | 03:44 |
| Dracie | night-wm, hmm =-[ I don't think that really gives to any real versioning | 03:44 |
| x__ | ldiamond: yea i found that ppthtml works for wat i need it to just to view the text in a power point file | 03:44 |
| pHreaksYcle | marshall: look up something for your router called QoS | 03:44 |
| ldiamond | x__, oh, then its a much simpler problem. | 03:44 |
| Dracie | night-wm, I do know the g5 uses the edev mouse protocole | 03:44 |
| anteaya | ldiamond, so the flash suggestion is to uninstall flash as an ubunut package and reinstall flash as a binary package from adobe? | 03:44 |
| ScottG489 | ldiamond: Well I know my hardware does support AES because back when I had Vista on my laptop I was able to connect to my schools wifi fine after following the directions. | 03:44 |
| marshall | pHreaksYcle, ive got the router QoS page open right now | 03:45 |
| pHreaksYcle | marshall: depending on what router you have you can tell it to give more bandwidth to your VoIP cals | 03:45 |
| night-wm | dracie, yea that's the only thing that's under there | 03:45 |
| ldiamond | anteaya, you could do it that way. The flash plugin is located in ~/.mozilla/plugins | 03:45 |
| Dracie | night-wm, ok, well I think it might work if you tell hal to explicitly to make the mouse use that one protocle | 03:46 |
| pHreaksYcle | marshall: im not sure about specifics, look up how to specifically do it by searching google for your router and skype | 03:46 |
| pHreaksYcle | plenty of guides im guessing | 03:46 |
| anteaya | ldiamond, thanks I will see how the first suggestion goes and then go for that one | 03:46 |
| ldiamond | anteaya, its called libflashplayer.so. Replacing this file with the Adobe's binaries will work just fine | 03:46 |
| anteaya | ldiamond, thanks so much, I will consider that my next suggestion | 03:46 |
| night-wm | dracie, ok how would i go about doing that | 03:46 |
| ldiamond | ScottG489, if your hardware has WPA2 support, it supports AES | 03:46 |
| Dracie | night-wm, hmm my knowledge isn't that good so bear with me i'll give it a try =] | 03:47 |
| ldiamond | anteaya, flash is only the problem is the issue occurs on flash sites. | 03:47 |
| night-wm | dracie, alright no problem =) | 03:47 |
| ldiamond | anteaya, otherwise, the Firefox binaries might be the problem | 03:47 |
| ldiamond | anteaya, you can download these binaries directly from firefox.com | 03:47 |
| homeskill | could anyone ever sell linux for a lot of money or does the gnu infrastructure prevent that | 03:48 |
| Firerouge | Whats eveyone up to | 03:48 |

| ldiamond | homeskill, people already sell linux (for the support) | 03:48 |

| Dracie | with support bundled and some propietary extentions | 03:48 |
| anteaya | ldiamond, thanks I am taking notes | 03:48 |
| ldiamond | homeskill, Redhat enterprise is an example | 03:48 |
| Cycom | is there something I can do about this? | 03:48 |
| pHreaksYcle | lol | 03:48 |
| ScottG489 | ldiamond: YEa I have WPA and WPA2 for personal and enterprise | 03:48 |
| homeskill | is wpa good enough or only wpa2 | 03:49 |
| redvamp128 | homeskill: Though the real money is not selling the linux- but providing support. (Though just look at Apple- But they also sell hardware they know works with their OS, plus some eyecandy) | 03:49 |
| ScottG489 | ldiamond: So how do i enabled AES? | 03:49 |
| Scunizi | homeskill: Ubuntu is sold now in Best buy but includes restricted codecs that have had their license paid for by the purchase price | 03:49 |
| ldiamond | ScottG489, your card will therefore encrypt using AES without problem. | 03:49 |
| ldiamond | ScottG489, you dont have to enable this, its burnt in your wireless card | 03:49 |
| ScottG489 | ldiamond: Oh, so then I guess theres some other problem then :/ | 03:49 |

| mati_ | what does killall gnome-panel do ? | 04:01 |
| mati_ | it just refreshes gnome or will kill what I have open ? | 04:02 |
| oscar1 | does anyone know how to fix the speakers so that there is no static?? Please help | 04:02 |
| Brack101 | I realize I'm totally nitpicking here....but my gnome panel casts a shadow on all windows underneath it, including maximized windows, which is ugly. Can I make it not do this without disabling its shadow alltogether? | 04:02 |
| crdlb | Brack101: no, although metacity has an ugly workaround in its compositor | 04:03 |
| Brack101 | crdlb: go on... | 04:03 |
| crdlb | Brack101: to where? | 04:03 |
| oscar1 | all that comes out of my speakers is static...does anyone know how to fix this?? Please help | 04:04 |
| Brack101 | how can I use said workaround? | 04:04 |
| crdlb | metacity | 04:04 |
| crdlb | you're using compiz | 04:04 |
| cahaya-05 | decha | 04:04 |
| Brack101 | oh so you're saying I have to stop using compiz | 04:04 |
| crdlb | I just turn off gnome-panel's shadow | 04:04 |
| crdlb | but if you want the hack, you'd have to use metacity's compositor | 04:05 |
| Brack101 | but then it doesn't cast a shadow on the desktop :( | 04:05 |
| Brack101 | (even more ridiculous I know) | 04:05 |
| reverendnathan | How flush apt-get's cache? | 04:05 |
| night-wm | dracie, is there a specific name i should be calling the new *.fdi file? | 04:05 |
| Dracie | night-wm, anything works | 04:05 |
| night-wm | dracie, ok | 04:05 |
| Brack101 | I'd rather have it cast a shadow on maximized apps than not at all | 04:05 |
| waylandbill | reverendnathan, apt-get clean | 04:05 |
| Brack101 | it just bothers me because my desktop looks SO much like leopard but this shadow runs it | 04:05 |

| waylandbill | Brack101, with the window decorations on the wrong side of the windows and everything? ;-) | 04:06 |
| Brack101 | indeed | 04:06 |
| nurie | ai............ | 04:07 |
| crdlb | Brack101: the problem is that the panel is stacked above the windows, so the panel's shadow would have to be stacked independently (or a hack in the drawing code would be needed, like metacity does) | 04:07 |
| Brack101 | or it could just be "always below" and then reserve the space on top for it | 04:08 |
| jochar | hi, anyone here that can help me with pure-ftpd on ubuntu 8.10? | 04:08 |
| Brack101 | http://i44.tinypic.com/2vvrlmu.png - here it is looking like leopard | 04:08 |
| crdlb | Brack101: think of the bottom panel; windows have to slide under it | 04:09 |
| waylandbill | jochar, just ask the question and if someone can, they will. | 04:09 |
| crdlb | the same would happen with the top panel if constrain Y weren't enabled | 04:09 |
| jochar | ftp: connect: Connection refused | 04:09 |
| jochar | ^^this is what i get when i try to connect to localhost | 04:09 |

| reverendnathan | Apt-Get is saying K3b is "upgradable", but it's the same version I have installed. How do I fix this? Already tried "sudo apt-get clean" | 04:11 |

| thiebaude1 | how do i remove the arrows in the ubuntu menu? | 04:11 |
| crdlb | reverendnathan: are you getting it from a PPA or something? | 04:11 |

| shabati | Scunizi: I have /home installed on a separate partition | 04:14 |
| Scunizi | shabati: well if you don't mind wiping out whatever is on the new computer you can use partimage to image your partitions now and restore them to the new machine.. the other way is to put your current HD into the new machine and boot from it. | 04:14 |
| crdlb | could be something similar happening now, if you're using a package from outside the main repos | 04:14 |
| Hammerjak | jochar, type sudo /etc/init.d/pure then hit tab a couple times and see if it fills in a name | 04:14 |
| Scunizi | shabati: having /home seperate was a good move. much easier.. | 04:14 |
| Hammerjak | if it does use that name and type status | 04:14 |
| shabati | I was thinking of using partimage, but how would that work with a bigger hard drive and/or different hardware?? | 04:14 |

| bruenig | jonkenny007: I don't know anything about banshee, you can do this via script however if you want | 04:29 |
| sandGorgon | Brack101: umm... so I can have a GUI environment in debian with none of the extra packages ? | 04:29 |
| cd | some one could help me | 04:29 |
| Brack101 | sandGorgon: yep | 04:29 |

So you just iterate through the files one by one, get the md5sum, see if that md5sum has already been gotten before, if it has delete the file, if it hasn't add the md5sum to the array, and move on to the next file | 04:36 |

| ryty | brian7888, I would say that for some reason your sound card isn't getting detected, OR, the module isn't being loaded | 05:32 |
| kazimir | ryty: Any other ideas? | 05:32 |
| ryty | kazimir, still looking | 05:32 |
| TiZ | This is Linux. It was to my understanding that we _fix_ problems here. ;) | 05:32 |
| kazimir | ryty: Alright | 05:32 |
| brian7888 | my card is being detected...the diagnostics recognizes it..... | 05:32 |
| jakswa | any good fellows bored enough to point me to known linux documentaries, akin to Revolution OS? | 05:32 |
| brian7888 | so how do I load my module? | 05:32 |
| ryty | brian7888, which chip is it for the audio? | 05:33 |
| bruenig | TiZ: hack the source | 05:33 |
| TiZ | bruenig: You're kidding, right? :| | 05:33 |
| ryty | kazimir, what does `cat /proc/asound/cards` show you? | 05:33 |
| nickrud | TiZ, bruenig is right. If svn is bad, hacking code is your only option unless you roll back | 05:33 |
| ryty | (in the pastebin please) | 05:33 |
| dyf | hello.. does openoffice writer support adding comments to documents? if yes, how do i bring them up? | 05:33 |
| ryty | brian7888, same question for you | 05:34 |
| ryty | I'll repeat, pastebin please | 05:34 |
| cactusfrog | dont bother these people arn't helpful i switch to linux because i think they are going to be suportive but instead they say that DOS attacks are bad becasue they don't agree with there morals wtf just telll me thats the point of this isn;t it??? | 05:34 |
| kazimir | ryty: It says no such file or directory. | 05:34 |
| cactusfrog | you forgot cd | 05:34 |
| cactusfrog | and the quotes | 05:34 |
| brian7888 | nvm aplay: device_list:215: no soundcards found... | 05:34 |
| kazimir | ryty: Oops, I misspelled it, hold on | 05:35 |
| TiZ | I was gonna tell that guy off. :( | 05:35 |
| ryty | nickrud, was that cactusfrog? | 05:35 |
| nickrud | ryty, yes | 05:35 |
| TiZ | Yeah. | 05:35 |
| ryty | yay | 05:35 |
| nickrud | told him one warning. But the troll is gone, so let's not feed the rest | 05:35 |

| B14CKH4T | u a bot | 05:36 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:36 |
| brian7888 | so how do I get linux to recognize my sound card? | 05:36 |

| * Scunizi tips his hat to a friendly nic in the channel.. nickrud :) | 05:36 | |
| ryty | brian7888, what kind of chip is it? | 05:36 |
| ryty | brian7888, do an lspci and pastebin it | 05:36 |
| TiZ | Well, maybe Cimi would have more knowledge about this seriously remote problem. What's a good way to contact him? | 05:36 |
| kriyas | Any alternative to install adobe reader | 05:37 |
| ryty | kazimir, try opening the Volume Control by double-clicking on the little speaker next to the clock | 05:37 |
| ryty | select the lifechat from the drop-down, and make sure it's turned up? | 05:37 |
| brian7888 | intel p45 chipset for asus p5q mobo | 05:37 |
| Scunizi | kriyas: medibuntu repo's will give you that.. if you really need it | 05:37 |
| bruenig | TiZ: your problem is clear, I mean even if one doesn't know what source changes need to be done, one can identify that your problem is a source problem | 05:37 |
| kazimir | ryty: I set the default device from there, but I still hear no sound. | 05:38 |
| ryty | kazimir, and the volume is turned up? | 05:38 |
| bruenig | TiZ: there is no way around that. If the source is bad either on ff end or your engine's end, you can't do anything but fix that | 05:38 |
| bruenig | or move to something else | 05:38 |
| kazimir | ryty: All the way. | 05:38 |
| kazimir | ryty: Keep in mind, I' | 05:39 |
| kazimir | ryty: I'm testing the sound by a youtube video, if that matters. | 05:39 |
| brian7888 | ryty- intel p45 chipset for asus p5q mobo | 05:39 |
| kazimir | brian7888: I have the same motherboard on my desktop ^_^ | 05:39 |
| ryty | kazimir, try a "cat /proc/meminfo > /dev/dsp1" | 05:39 |
| ryty | and listen to the headphones, anything? | 05:40 |
| TiZ | bruenig: What you're saying mostly makes sense. I don't mean to be adversarial, but Firefox is the most popular browser for Linux, and there are loads of murrine-svn themes on gnome-look. If it was a source problem, wouldn't it be more widespread? I'm not trying to be argumentative, it just doesn't make sense. | 05:40 |
| kazimir | ryty: Yes, I heard a sound./ | 05:40 |
| brian7888 | your audio not working kazimir? | 05:40 |
| ryty | good signs. | 05:40 |
| kazimir | Mmm | 05:41 |
| bruenig | TiZ: firefox is well known as having a hacked together gtk setup, it is not like other apps | 05:41 |
| brian7888 | maybe p5q isnt supported by ubuntu or something | 05:41 |
| ryty | kazimir, go back to System->Preferences->Sound and change all of them to the Headset if you can find it in the drop downs | 05:41 |
| ryty | if not, what are your choices? | 05:41 |
| TiZ | bruenig: I'm well aware of that. | 05:41 |
| bruenig | TiZ: I have themes that work everywhere else except firefox's input boxes where for some reason the background is black and the letters are black. Everywhere else any other input in any other app is grey on black, but not firefox in what is seemingly an identical sort of thing | 05:42 |
| bruenig | TiZ: so it is more widespread, but what people do is they move along to other themes. You don't see bug reports on themes usually because the are millions of them | 05:42 |
| linxuz3r | what is the method you call when you want to print a page back to back | 05:42 |
| kazimir | ryty: I see my headset, yes. Change everything to it? | 05:42 |
| ryty | kazimir, sure | 05:42 |
| ryty | kazimir, then, give it a shot | 05:42 |
| billybigrigger | how come i keep getting an error when i play games, x11 driver not configured with opengl | 05:42 |
| ryty | (careful with the volume, remember it's turned up) | 05:42 |
| billybigrigger | like wormux, foobillard | 05:42 |
| kazimir | ryty: No dice, bro. | 05:43 |
| billybigrigger | direct rendering is enabled, and im using the nvidia.com driver | 05:43 |
| ari_stre1s | guys, anyone using terminator? | 05:43 |
| ryty | kazimir, hrmm | 05:43 |
| brian7888 | yea me too...ryty | 05:43 |
| kazimir | ryty: Should I completely restart Firefox, then try? | 05:43 |
| TiZ | bruenig: I don't imagine that people would file bug reports on themes. But if it was so simple as a source problem, everyone who wanted to make or use Murrine SVN themes would be bothering the hell out of Cimi, and he'd either fix it, or svn murrine wouldn't be used. That's the way I imagine it, anyways. | 05:43 |
| ryty | kazimir, his test to the right and see if it works? | 05:43 |
| linxuz3r | what is the method you call when you want to print a page back to back | 05:43 |
| === cary_ is now known as Commie_Cary | ||
| ryty | (under the System->Preferences->sound dialogue box) | 05:44 |
| kazimir | ryty: I can hear it from there fine, but nothing else produces sound. | 05:44 |
| bruenig | TiZ: it is a firefox source problem | 05:44 |
| bruenig | firefox is, shall we say, not standards complaint on gtk | 05:44 |
| bruenig | if that makes sense | 05:44 |
| nickrud | bruenig, TiZ you're straying a bit out of the #ubuntu topic, although it _is_ pretty slow. | 05:44 |
| TiZ | bruenig: I understand your point fully well. I think you understand mine, too. At this point, we're just back-and-forthing with no real constructiveness. :P | 05:45 |
| bruenig | wel | 05:45 |
| bruenig | you are wrong and I am right =D | 05:45 |
| brian7888 | RYTY: I have same mother board and chipset as kazimir maybe ours isnt supported.... | 05:45 |
| TiZ | Well you're a poopy-head. :P | 05:45 |
| ryty | brian7888, his is with usb audio, yours is with audio, period. | 05:45 |
| brian7888 | ryty: oh ok, mine is digital coax out | 05:46 |
| linxuz3r | what is the method you call when you want to print a page back to back???????? | 05:46 |
| kazimir | brian7888: I'm also not on the computer with that motherboard, I'm on my laptop | 05:46 |
| ryty | linxuz3r, double-sided? | 05:46 |
| brian7888 | kazimir: oh ok | 05:46 |
| TiZ | Well, in any case, bruenig, thanks for trying. :) I'll go to gnome-look and see if anyone else using Murrine SVN has this problem. | 05:47 |
| nickrud | linxuz3r, duplex? | 05:47 |
| brian7888 | ryty: should I just re-install ubuntu? | 05:47 |
| kazimir | ryty: Anythin'? | 05:47 |
| ryty | kazimir, yours I think has to do with a conflict | 05:48 |
| ryty | apps are still using your other sound card | 05:48 |
| kazimir | ryty: Whatcha mean? | 05:48 |
| kazimir | ryty: Hm.. | 05:48 |
| B14CKH4T | exit | 05:48 |
| ryty | kazimir, trying to figure out how to change that...but make it convenient | 05:48 |
| kazimir | ryty: Well, the think is, this laptop has no audio. The speakers and sound chip are blown as far as I know | 05:48 |
| kazimir | ryty: thing* | 05:49 |
| kazimir | ryty: Which is why I'm using the USB headset. | 05:49 |
| ryty | kazimir, do an lsmod and pastebin it, we can test something | 05:49 |
| kazimir | ryty: As you wish | 05:49 |
| ryty | brian7888, go to your bios and confirm the onboard audio is turned on | 05:50 |

| DarkSotM | hey guys, quick question: How long should it take to format an external 320 gb hard drive to ext3? | 05:53 |
| ryty | kazimir, try going in to your bios and disabling the on-board audio controller, if it's bad anyways, it shouldn't hurt | 05:53 |
| kazimir | ryty: As you wish. I'll be back in 5. | 05:53 |
| ryty | DarkSotM, depends, what kind of drive and interface? | 05:53 |
| rdw200169 | DarkSotM, depends on the rpm of the HDD and the speed of the computer | 05:53 |
| DarkSotM | wd 320 passport, usb 2.0 | 05:54 |
| DarkSotM | 5400 rpm | 05:54 |
| rdw200169 | DarkSotM, well, USB 2.0 will significantly slow down your speed | 05:54 |
| ryty | maybe 5-10 minutes? | 05:54 |
| rdw200169 | DarkSotM, regardless, it shouldn't take too loing | 05:54 |
| ryty | DarkSotM, it's not going to take that long | 05:54 |
| DarkSotM | I started it last night and it's still going | 05:54 |
| ryty | that's fishy | 05:54 |
| racecar-56 | i formatted a 1TB hard drive with ext3 and it took a LONG time on usb | 05:54 |
| rdw200169 | DarkSotM, i agree | 05:54 |
| DarkSotM | brand new drive | 05:55 |
| brian7888 | ryty: Any ideas?? | 05:55 |
| rdw200169 | DarkSotM, check your /var/log/syslog and see if you're getting any strange USB errors | 05:55 |
| ryty | DarkSotM, I'd retry, or have you already? | 05:55 |
| rdw200169 | DarkSotM, that, or /var/log/messages | 05:55 |
| DarkSotM | have retryed | 05:55 |

| DarkSotM | I know usb 2 won't be as fast as say SATA but still... | 05:55 |
| rdw200169 | DarkSotM, you could try going direct with mkfs.ext3 | 05:56 |
| DarkSotM | I am | 05:56 |
| DarkSotM | mkfs.ext3 -m 0 /dev/sdb2 | 05:56 |
| racecar-56 | mkfs.ext3 is n00bish for me i waited a day and it aactually made a broken ext2 volume instead | 05:56 |
| ryty | DarkSotM, make sure the port is in USB 2.0 mode in your bios | 05:56 |
| rdw200169 | DarkSotM, that, or you may be having power issues | 05:57 |
| DarkSotM | I backed my data off it and it was at usb 2 speeds | 05:57 |
| brian7888 | help, my audio wont work on my Asus p5q onboard audio. Any ideas? | 05:57 |
| rdw200169 | DarkSotM, many usb ports don't put out enough power | 05:57 |
| kazimir | ryty: No dice, man. I can't disable it from my BIOS | 05:57 |

| arghh2d2 | exFat rocks! | 06:12 |
| DarkSotM | lol, yes I agree but I always like to try other things | 06:12 |
| arghh2d2 | exFat is like the only the best ever | 06:13 |
| sebsebseb | exFat I have never heard of that. Fat32 Fat16 and that's about it for Fat | 06:13 |
| DarkSotM | I can't tell if your being sarcastic | 06:13 |
| sebsebseb | noobs use Fat in Linux | 06:14 |
| sebsebseb | espeasilly now | 06:14 |
| sebsebseb | with such stable NTFS driver | 06:14 |
| DarkSotM | Vista sp1 introduced exFat | 06:14 |
| sebsebseb | oh | 06:14 |
| racecar-56 | orly? | 06:14 |
| DarkSotM | it was designed for flash media | 06:14 |
| anathematic | hi I'm having problems installing via apt-get as I keep getting failed to fetch url's, could someone point me in the right direction? http://pastie.org/394810 | 06:14 |
| sebsebseb | ok that's why I don't know about extFat then | 06:14 |
| sebsebseb | anyway still | 06:14 |
| racecar-56 | exfat is fat64 | 06:14 |
| sebsebseb | noobs use MS file systems with Linux | 06:14 |
| tritium | !enter | sebsebseb | 06:14 |
| ubottu | sebsebseb: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 06:14 |
| DarkSotM | not extfat it's exfat | 06:14 |
| sebsebseb | and if you want access to Windows on a dual boot, it can mount the NTFS partition no problem | 06:14 |
| sebsebseb | otherwise I can't see a reason to need NTFS for Linux | 06:15 |
| sebsebseb | or any other MS file system | 06:15 |
| racecar-56 | shoot thats enough with the non-open-source FS | 06:15 |
| DarkSotM | I don't care much for ntfs | 06:15 |
| sebsebseb | Linux file systems are better, and Ext4 will be an option in the next Ubuntu release | 06:15 |
| racecar-56 | sebsebseb i agree | 06:15 |
| tritium | sebsebseb: this is not IM. Please don't use the enter key so excessively. It spams the channel. | 06:15 |
| DarkSotM | I tried ntfs on my external hard drive and it ran so slow copared to fat32 even | 06:16 |
| racecar-56 | yeah | 06:16 |
| sebsebseb | DarkSotM: that's odd considering that NTFS is meant to be quite a lot better than Fat32 | 06:16 |
| DarkSotM | sebsebseb: not for me | 06:16 |
| saadi559595 | my benq4300 scanner is not working? | 06:17 |

| DarkSotM | maybe cause I was watching it thinking "This is so slow I hat M$, ntfs sucks..." (-; | 06:17 |
| sebsebseb | DarkSotM: well make your external hard drive Ext3 :) and get a driver for Windows, and there you go, you can use a good file system on your External hard disk, on Ubuntu and Windows | 06:17 |

| ewj1976 | sastha: i'd read up on users and permissions. | 06:46 |
| jiggles | brian7888, kevdog is right, but the method i mentioned will allow you to comment out the new kernel or do something with it so you dont have it as the default when u boot | 06:46 |

| sebsebseb | mereo: not sure if that is 64bit | 07:01 |
| kamran | hi | 07:01 |
| sastha | NFischer: k.for updation we have to use Package Manager rite? | 07:02 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, yeah it is | 07:02 |
| NFischer | sastha, go to system > Administration > Update Manager | 07:02 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: put 64bit on then | 07:02 |
| llragsll | any one??:(... | 07:02 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: also if you want something more fast, get something more light waight, Xubuntu? Puppy Linux? | 07:03 |
| sastha | NFischer: thanx.sorry if my question was silly. | 07:03 |
| llragsll | this is the error I get when i restart sshd Bad configuration option: ChrootDirectory | 07:03 |
| NFischer | sastha, you can use synaptic too, but Update manager is a little more user friendly | 07:03 |

| mereo | sebsebseb, the system is quite fast, it's just firefox seems slower than the windows version | 07:05 |
| delly | hi | 07:05 |
| NFischer | sastha, its to prevent others from altering your system | 07:05 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | I made another user on my system...how can I acces the music files I have in the first user's home dir?? | 07:06 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: ok I understand | 07:06 |
| sastha | NFischer: NFischer,is it possible to see the log, by the root? | 07:06 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: yes Firefox in Ubuntu is not even an offical version, and it is not that fast really | 07:06 |
| IntuitiveNipple | mereo: Do you have firefox plugins installs? They can slow things down... you could try it in safe-mode to compare speeds... if there's a big difference you will know it is caused by one or more of the plugins | 07:06 |
| NFischer | sastha, system > Administration> system log | 07:06 |
| KevDog_ | There is also rssh -- which is in the repositories -- however just my opinion not as full featured as the MSS | 07:06 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: try Konqueror for a faster browser | 07:06 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, do you think the version from mozilla.com will be faster? | 07:07 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: probably not by much, but Konqueror is much faster | 07:07 |
| sastha | NFischer: thnx.U r so helpful.any system restore functionality available in ubuntu? | 07:08 |
| KevDog_ | Swiftfox -- enhancements built in!! | 07:08 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, hmm, but I have some extensions that I like to use | 07:08 |
| Vinceman | can anyone do me a big favour? | 07:08 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: in fact the Ubuntu version is meant to have Ubuntu specific improvements, so in some ways Firefox from Mozilla may be worse, unless you get the latest 3.1 version . 3.1 has not been released just yet, but soon | 07:08 |
| Vinceman | can I send you an sms so you can send me my phone nr? | 07:08 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: yes you have both :) | 07:08 |
| llragsll | Using chroot directory option in sshd conf file gives this error : Bad configuration option: ChrootDirectory ?? any solutions? | 07:09 |
| Vinceman | my life might depend on it | 07:09 |
| NFischer | sastha, you should use google a little too ... http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page | 07:09 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: also two other browsers that may be worth trying. Galeon and sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser | 07:09 |
| NFischer | Vinceman, whats the matter | 07:09 |
| mereo | yeah | 07:09 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: you can have loads of browsers in Ubuntu | 07:09 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, yeah | 07:09 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: there's also Opera which is closed source | 07:09 |
| Vinceman | I don't know my new prepaid mobile phone nr | 07:09 |
| NFischer | lol | 07:09 |
| llragsll | I have already setup most of the options...this is the only place I am stuck | 07:09 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, forgot about opera | 07:09 |
| syockit | mereo: you can download the firefox and install as user (not as root), and run it, and see for yourself the difference. I think ubuntu-optimized is better | 07:09 |
| Vinceman | that's not so funny NFischer! | 07:10 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: and if you want really fast how about a text only browser such as Lynx and Links :d | 07:10 |
| bazhang | !ot > Vinceman | 07:10 |
| ubottu | Vinceman, please see my private message | 07:10 |
| llragsll | chroot si available inbuilt with openssh | 07:10 |
| arghh2d2 | mereo: dont listen to them, use Dillo | 07:10 |
| llragsll | I just want to enable tht | 07:10 |
| NFischer | Vinceman, it is... just look in your contract | 07:10 |
| sebsebseb | arghh2d2: dildo hummm why recommending dildo? | 07:10 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, lol! If I wanted to use lynx, I'll just use a terminal | 07:10 |
| mereo | arghh2d2, how's dilo? does it render everything? | 07:10 |
| arghh2d2 | sebsebseb: cuz what i say goes mofo! dont question me | 07:11 |
| pajamian | Hey everyone, I'm trying to get intrepid onto an old compaq Evo N800v laptop, but I can't get it to boot to the CD drive, nor will it boot to the USB stick that I have a copy of intrepid on, and I can't even get the wubi installer to run off of the USB stick, so I'm stuck trying to find a way to get the install going. Ideally I would like to boot to the CD drive or the usb stick and get a proper install rather than a wubi install. | 07:11 |
| arghh2d2 | mereo: dillo is lightning fast | 07:11 |
| KevDog_ | chroot is available with openssh now -- however its has poor functionality. rssh/MySecureShell has enhancements | 07:11 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: yes lynx runs in the terminal | 07:11 |
| arghh2d2 | mereo: but dillo doesnt use frames | 07:11 |
| felixsulla | Whats the best way to install Firefox 3.0 on Gutsy Gibbon? | 07:11 |
| sebsebseb | felixsulla: from the repo or from Mozilla | 07:11 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, what I meant is that I'd rather use those old terminal computers than on my fast one | 07:11 |
| felixsulla | Any way to do it in synaptic? | 07:12 |
| KevDog_ | Firefox 3.0 on GG -- sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 07:12 |
| mereo | arghh2d2, so dilo is kind of a light weight browser? renders just what isneeded? | 07:12 |
| sebsebseb | felixsulla: Gutsy was a good release, in some ways it's better than Hardy and Ibex even, but Gutsy won't be suppourted for much longer with updates | 07:12 |
| syockit | mereo: dillo is a very primitive browser, it's like x version of links. good for simple browsing, but doesn't work with multimedia websites | 07:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | llragsll: Isn't ChrootDirectory only for the internal SFTP sub-system? | 07:13 |
| felixsulla | So I should probably upgrade, eh? | 07:13 |
| racecar-56 | gotta go | 07:13 |
| KevDog_ | Feisty was better than Gutsy IMO | 07:13 |
| mereo | syockit, ah... well then, I don't think it will be that useful | 07:13 |
| KevDog_ | And Fiesty is dead now too | 07:13 |
| sebsebseb | KevDog_: yeah Feisty was good to | 07:13 |
| sebsebseb | KevDog_: and Ubuntu hasn't exactly got amazingly better since Gutsy | 07:14 |
| arghh2d2 | mereo: yeah, dillo brings up pictures but doesnt bring up frames, and it doesnt work well with secure connections, HOWEVER if all your doing is looking at docs or wiki's or pr0n or something then dillo is pimp | 07:14 |
| mereo | What I hate about ubuntu is that frigin PULSEAUDIO! | 07:14 |
| KevDog_ | Im actually finding Ibex surprisingly better than Hardy | 07:14 |
| felixsulla | Ibex is the newest? | 07:14 |
| mereo | arghh2d2, lol, ok, I'll check it out | 07:15 |
| sebsebseb | KevDog_: why I don't notice much of a difference, except auto shut down after a minute, and how people can make there own USB Flash stick for Ubuntu | 07:15 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: Konqueror is very good and my browser of choice after Firefox | 07:15 |
| KevDog_ | In both Hardy and Ibex, a lot of changes were put into the base kernel that screwed a lot of things up particualy for vid/wireless cards -- kinks are definitely been smoothed out though | 07:15 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: then it's Galeon and then Epiphany | 07:15 |
| brian7888 | Can anybody help my trouble shout my sound? | 07:15 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, isn't galeon dead? | 07:15 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: not that I know of | 07:16 |
| KevDog_ | Hardy -- what a joke to call this a LTS -- so many new drivers introduced into that kernel -- bad mistake | 07:16 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, because their last news announcement was from 2006 | 07:16 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: maybe it is a bit dead then, but still a good browser | 07:16 |
| tzolkin | Hello everyone, does anybody know the XUbuntu IRC's address? | 07:17 |
| KevDog_ | I looking forward to Jaunty however | 07:17 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, well, I hope I'll get a good browser... because Ubuntu is growing on me | 07:17 |
| === ectospasm is now known as ectodozing | ||

| b3z3rk3r | anybody here having issues with skype not being able to grab audio if vlc is running? Cant seem to solve it. :( | 07:17 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: well Chrome will eventaully be ported to Mac and Linux | 07:17 |
| tzolkin | yes | 07:18 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, yeah, I'll be waiting for chrome... patiently... | 07:18 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: you can run it in Wine or Codeweavers thiney for it, but if you do that, hummmm since it will be saying to sites your running it on Windows unless... | 07:18 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: same thing for K-Melon now that's a nice fast customizable Windows browser that uses Gecko | 07:19 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, yeah, on my old computer I was using k-meleon, it was MUCH faster | 07:19 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: I don't think it's the best idea to run Windows browsers in Wine and then help to contribute to Windows's browser market share | 07:20 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: well should be able to change the user agent string to Linux :D | 07:20 |
| b3z3rk3r | KevDog_, when's jaunty due? | 07:20 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: it runs rather nicely in Wine | 07:20 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, that's why I'm hoping the next firefox 3.1 will be optimized iin linux | 07:20 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: I guess change Windows in the user agent string to, Wine or Linux yeah :D | 07:20 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: you can get the latest 3.1 from their FTP | 07:20 |
| trupheenix | i have a situation. my samba directory and subdirectories are filled with .exes which have been copied from a WINDOZE host. I want to delete all these files. There are too many files which have been created. Is there a simple command which can do this? | 07:20 |

| mereo | syockit, do you use it? | 07:22 |
| KevDog_ | 9.04 -- So hence April but not sure of release date | 07:22 |
| sebsebseb | syockit: Firefox 3.1 is very nearly ready to be released. and even the alphas for Firefox seem to run pretty damn well | 07:22 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, sooo... it's stable for you? | 07:23 |
| sebsebseb | kevor: end of April it will be | 07:23 |
| syockit | mereo: I only wanted to try out the new features. went to acid3.acidtests.org, do some alt-tabbing, go to javascript benchmarks etc. But it always crashes on me. (the extensions can be at fault too) | 07:23 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: in Windows I would run alphas and such yes | 07:23 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: in Ubuntu I just find it easier to use Ubuntu's Firefox, and other browsers | 07:23 |
| KevDog_ | trupheenix: Something like (key word like) find <top of directory tree> -type f -name "*.exe" | xargs rm -rf | 07:23 |
| trupheenix | KevDog_: ok i have found all the files using find | 07:23 |
| trupheenix | KevDog_: now I'm looking for an easy command to delete them | 07:24 |
| mereo | sebsebseb, when is firefox 3.1 going to be released? I think I'll just be patient and wait for it | 07:24 |
| sebsebseb | mereo: yes latest 3.1 will be rather stable | 07:24 |
| KevDog_ | Pipe the find command into xargs | 07:24 |
| trupheenix | KevDog_: I tried rm -rf *.exe | 07:24 |
| sleepy_cat | any community for lib_soup | 07:24 |

| syockit | stopie: it sometimes happen to me too. I had to start all over again when that happens | 07:26 |
| KevDog_ | trupheenix: Yea that should work -- Might need to be "*.exe" if there are files with spaces | 07:26 |
| stopie | syockit: would you recommend a mirror to use? the defualt us.ubuntu.... is hella slow | 07:27 |
| === sleepy_cat is now known as c_webkit | ||

| carpii__ | mlissner, so log to a file instead of discarding all the useful error messages | 07:55 |
| Seveas | mlissner, I'd do such a thing in /etc/network/if-up.d, so it gets run every time a network connection is up. | 07:55 |
| Mr_Mackee | whats the best way to convert xvid and burn them as DVD? | 07:55 |
| Seveas | so no need to loop :) | 07:55 |
| Seveas | B10S, I assume you mean 'not' instead of 'now' :) | 07:55 |
| mlissner | Saveas, that sounds brilliant. How would one do that? | 07:56 |
| mlissner | Carpii, is there a way to log scripts that are started by init? | 07:56 |
| B10S | Seveas, oh, indeed lol | 07:56 |
| fudgeed | Seveas, i tried to install to ubuntu to the c: drive ,deleted that partition and my cd was corrupted too | 07:56 |
| Seveas | mlissner, look at the examples in there. I beleive there's even a hook that gives you the ssid as well, so no need to grep :) | 07:57 |
| Seveas | fudgeed, ah, hmm... I *think* some manual partition table tinkering might give you your partition back, but that's far beyond what I know how to do I'm afraid. | 07:58 |
| mlissner | Seveas, so are these all scripts that are run whenever a network connection is made? | 07:58 |
| Seveas | mlissner, yes | 07:59 |
| mlissner | Seveas, also, I'm not seeing any hooks...maybe I don't know what I'm looking for? | 07:59 |
| fudgeed | Seveas , ok | 07:59 |
| Seveas | mlissner, ignore the comment about hooks. I was wrong. | 08:00 |
| mlissner | Seveas, this is a break through. | 08:01 |
| mlissner | Major. | 08:01 |
| mlissner | Can those be run as root though? I want to edit /etc/hosts, or accomplish the same. | 08:01 |
| Seveas | mlissner, they are always run as root | 08:01 |
| luciash | hi everybody | 08:01 |
| mlissner | Fabulous | 08:02 |
| luciash | where is/are the gdm/kdm sessions config file(s) located , | 08:02 |
| mlissner | Hi | 08:02 |
| luciash | ? | 08:02 |
| Seveas | mlissner, if you google for ifupdown, you should be able to find some documentation. These scripts have access to some useful environment variables to help you detect where you are | 08:02 |
| luciash | i need to change starting enlightenment with -evil parameter to -good ;) | 08:02 |
| Seveas | luciash, I believe those can be found in /etc/xsession.d oslt | 08:03 |
| Seveas | /etc/X11/Xsession.d | 08:03 |
| Seveas | luciash, or /usr/share/xsessions | 08:05 |

| Seveas | hello | 08:06 |
| dips0502 | trying to install 8.10 i386 ; however it doesnt recognize the sata drive i hv | 08:06 |
| luciash | Seveas: thanks a bunch, that's it :) | 08:06 |
| dips0502 | need some suggestion | 08:06 |
| Seveas | dips0502, buy a new drive? :) | 08:07 |
| Seveas | dips0502, does the dmesg command on the live cd tell you anything about the sata drive (as in, does the kernel at least see it?) | 08:07 |
| dips0502 | its not a new drive ...hv been using it for quite some time | 08:07 |
| zeltak | hi silly question from a guy trying to learn a bit of cli | 08:07 |
| zeltak | when i issue this for example: | 08:08 |
| zeltak | find /media/movt/ -name *.nfo -exec ls '{}' ';' | 08:08 |
| mlissner | seveas, I can't find anything on variables, but I just cut out the while loop in my script, and it seems to work. | 08:08 |
| Bikeguy | does anyone know when ubuntu starts writing to a new syslog? | 08:08 |
| zeltak | how can i add *jpg as well | 08:08 |
| mlissner | could be more elegant though. | 08:08 |
| Seveas | mlissner, ok then :) | 08:08 |
| Gegsite | you know the nvidia problem.... is there a link for solution? | 08:09 |
| mlissner | Seveas, this is most excellent. Thanks for your insight. I spent way too much time trying to figure this out myself. | 08:09 |
| Seveas | Bikeguy, 04:02, logrotate is run from cron.daily which by default is run at that time. See /etc/crontab abd /etc/cron.daily/logrotate | 08:09 |
| dips0502 | 4.444028] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) | 08:09 |
| dips0502 | this is what i see from dmesg | 08:09 |
| dips0502 | one of the lines | 08:09 |
| speedmaster | hey guys do you know how to set x-chat so that it doesn't use my login as identd? | 08:09 |
| Bikeguy | thanks Seveas, you aren't at all related to the Seveas package repos are you? | 08:09 |
| Seveas | zeltak, find /media/movt/ -name '*.nfo' -o -name '*.jpg' -exec ls '{}' ';' | 08:09 |
| zeltak | k sweet thx Seveas | 08:10 |
| Seveas | Bikeguy, yes that's me. The repos are fairly dead though (have no hardy or intrepid) | 08:10 |
| Seveas | speedmaster, xchat -> network list -> pick your network and click edit/change | 08:10 |
| Bikeguy | regardless, thanks for that, I remember using those a while back :-) | 08:10 |
| Seveas | you're welcome :) | 08:11 |
| Gegsite | SO? nvidia 180.29 driver still not working.... | 08:11 |
| Mr_Mackee | is tovid the best for xvid to dvd in intrepid? | 08:12 |
| mib_10glkn | hi, can I clear/wipe mbr from ubuntu live? | 08:12 |
| Seveas | mib_10glkn, yes. but that will make your system unbootable | 08:13 |
| syockit | mib_10glkn: if you know how to use dd, you can | 08:13 |
| mib_10glkn | is dd the only way to wipe it? | 08:13 |
| syockit | Seveas: still bootable from cd, no? | 08:13 |
| Seveas | (the command is: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/yourdiskhere bs=512 count=1) | 08:13 |
| Seveas | syockit, yes | 08:13 |
| Seveas | I should have said, 'it will make your disk unbootable' | 08:14 |
| dips0502 | i think the kernel sees the sata drive, but the partition manager...doesnt see it | 08:14 |
| Seveas | dips0502, if you boot from the live cd and run this command: sudo fdisk -l | 08:15 |
| Seveas | dips0502, does the disk show up then? | 08:15 |
| locustmage | so ive read that there is no way to boot an ubuntu cd into the RAM of the computer without making your own live cd. Is that true? | 08:15 |
| dips0502 | it says cannot open /dev/sda and cannot open /dev/sdb | 08:16 |
| zeltak | Seveas: the -o option just lists the last one (jpg) not both...anything else i can try? | 08:16 |
| dips0502 | but both those sda and sdb are not my sata drive | 08:16 |
| Seveas | you could try 'man find' and learn how find works :) | 08:16 |
| dips0502 | one is an parallel ata drive , the other is an external usb drive | 08:16 |

| TeslaTony | If I leave Exaile open too long, my sound dies, and alsa force-reload doesn't seem to do anything | 08:25 |
| speedmaster | Gegsite: i was trying to install that all last night and ended up reverting back to 180.22 | 08:26 |
| dips0502 | how can i check if the kernel recognizes my sata disk at boot time ? | 08:27 |
| Gegsite | yeah, I heard that you should delete something cos it makes conflict | 08:27 |
| Gegsite | dips0502, starting it with debug mode | 08:27 |
| ali1234 | can anybody recommend a program that can show side by side diff on two binary files formatted as hex? | 08:28 |
| speedmaster | Gegsite: yeah, I was reading that in the nvidia x config that you should remove load type1 as that isn't in X any more which just led me to the no screens error when x tries to start | 08:28 |
| dips0502 | gegsite...could u tell me how to start it in debug mode | 08:29 |
| Gegsite | I heard that some files or symlinks you must delete... | 08:29 |
| speedmaster | I did not really want to spend that much time on it, just ran the package again for 180.22 after I purged which didn't go well so I removed again and booted recovery kernel installed as root and booted normally and havent had any probs since | 08:30 |
| Gegsite | I know but it should be better to run a newer driver but .... | 08:32 |
| Gegsite | dips0502, when booting the linux in grub you edit the init line and write in the end the debug thats all | 08:32 |
| quocthao892000 | 2222 | 08:33 |
| speedmaster | I think it's an X problem rather than the driver - even using repositories and installing through synaptic was screwing it | 08:33 |

| kuex | unfortunately, the issue remains. | 10:09 |
| pop79 | kuex: oh | 10:09 |

| Lyra | I'm having issues with upgrades. I'm trying to upgrade to the newest distribution from feisty fawn, but I'm not able to do it from the upgrade manager. I have a disc of 8.10. Can anyone help me? | 10:36 |
| ikonia | EQUIV: never used it like that, | 10:36 |
| kira\ | ikonia: thanks :) | 10:36 |
| tparcina | ActionParsnip: thank you, but this way I can only search is that driver on my system or not. Em I right? | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | MrGoodkat_: did you restart firefox after you put the link in the folder | 10:36 |
| ikonia | Lyra: I'd suggest doing a clean install from that point as it's a lot of upgrade | 10:36 |
| tparcina | ActionParsnip: but what I would like to do is to find out in wich kernel version it was included (added) for the first time | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | tparcina: arent kernel modules .ko | 10:37 |
| oCean_ | Lyra: See here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for upgrading from older versions. | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | tparcina: the path of the file will show you | 10:37 |
| MrGoodkat_ | ActionParsnip, yes i did, but i just see that there is no libflashplugin.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | tparcina: replace .so with .ko in the command | 10:37 |
| EQUIV | in the access log squid says 401 | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | MrGoodkat_: then its not correctly installed, you could try to find the .so file and symlink that | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | MrGoodkat_: sudo find / -name .so | grep flash | 10:38 |
| Lyra | Ikonia: Is there any way I can mount an NTFS partition in write mode so I can back up some of my files before I format the ext3 partition? | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | MrGoodkat_: the libflashplayer.so file will need symlinking in ~/.mozilla/plugins | 10:38 |
| MrGoodkat_ | ActionParsnip, thx, its working now i linked the flashplugin-alternate.so | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | MrGoodkat_: awesome :) | 10:38 |

| drbrock14 | Hey can anyone tell me how to install a ubuntu compiz theme? | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Cool_Nick: sudo apt-get install --reinstall xfonts-base | 10:41 |
| tparcina | it seams that my DRBL client desn't send DHCP request :( | 10:41 |
| Cool_Nick | ActionParsnip, tried that...but will try again | 10:41 |

| tparcina | I manage to do network boot (PXE), and I chouse Clonezilla disk save, but afther that my client doesn't request DHCP | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Cool_Nick: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/1218 | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Cool_Nick: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/66809 | 10:43 |
| tparcina | aldo on screen it seams that it does send requst, but DHCP server (DRBL server and Clonezilla server) desn't recive the request (tcpdump doesn't show any packet) | 10:43 |
| tparcina | so, if anyone knows how to troubleshoot this one I would be greatefull | 10:44 |
| ikonia | tparcina: sounds like your dhcp server is not on the same subnet | 10:45 |
| tparcina | ikonia: they are connected to the same switch | 10:45 |
| tparcina | ikonia: and client still doesn't have the IP address - he just needs to send DHCP request | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | tparcina: if you use static ip does everything work? | 10:46 |
| ikonia | tparcina: check for firewalls and what interfaces your dhcp server is listening on | 10:46 |
| ikonia | tparcina: check the cables, try another device on that switch to see if it gets an address | 10:46 |
| tparcina | ikonia: and they are connected together, because client recives IP address from same DHCP server when he is doing PXE boot | 10:46 |
| ikonia | tparcina: check the server config then for it's dhcp server parameters | 10:47 |
| tparcina | ActionParsnip: I don't know how to use static IP. This is the first time I'm trying to use Clonezilla/DRBL/PXE | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | tparcina: oic | 10:47 |
| tparcina | ikonia: firewall and interfaces on DHCP should be all right, because client recives IP address for PXE boot | 10:47 |
| ruediger | i installed a system with raid + dm-crypt + lvm but it won't boot. During booting i'm dropped into a busybox shell with the message: "Gave up waiting for root device. ... ALERT! /dev/mapper/md0_cryptp1p1 does not exist". What's wrong and how can I boot now? | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | tparcina: tried a different port on the switch | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | tparcina: do the lights on the switch and NIC flash when the system powers on? | 10:48 |
| tparcina | ikonia: what should I search in DHCP server parameters? I have check config several times, but I don't see anything bad | 10:48 |
| ikonia | ruediger: what type of raid, hardware or software | 10:48 |
| ruediger | software | 10:48 |
| ezerhoden | why does ubuntu want to install a handfull of qt updates? what does ubuntu intrepid ship with that has qt dependencies ? | 10:48 |
| tparcina | ActionParsnip: what "oic" means? | 10:48 |
| ikonia | tparcina: what dhcp server are you using | 10:48 |
| ikonia | ruediger: as in mdadm | 10:48 |

| tparcina | ActionParsnip: I didn't check the lights on switch and NIC when I tourn them on | 10:49 |
| ruediger | ikonia: any ideas? | 10:49 |
| ikonia | ruediger: according to that message the device file for your root partition does not exist/has not been created | 10:49 |
| ezerhoden | fosco_: sure, but why do they install qt apps with a gnome based distro? | 10:49 |
| ikonia | ruediger: the question is why | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | tparcina: youo should have activity lights, no lights = bad cable or disabled nic | 10:49 |

| fosco_ | ezerhoden: qt is a graphical lib, like any other, if any app needs it ubuntu repos will supply it | 10:50 |
| ruediger | ikonia: actually it should be /dev/mapper/md0_cryptp1 but that doesn't exist either :/ | 10:50 |

| ruediger | raid1 | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | tparcina: on server: ps -ef | grep dhcp | 10:50 |
| ikonia | tparcina: ok so it's the ubuntu dhcp package | 10:50 |

| ikonia | Lyra: gparted | 10:51 |
| ikonia | ruediger: all good stuff so far, dont know why the device is not created | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Lyra: sure, the ntfs will be untouched, if yuo run sudo fdisk -l you will see whic partitions you need to manipulate | 10:51 |

| ActionParsnip | saadi559595: is it an epson 3490? | 10:54 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: OK, I suspect that you've got an initial-ramdisk issue where cryptsetup isn't being installed into it | 10:54 |
| saadi559595 | no benq4300 | 10:54 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: Is the encrypted volume protected by key-file or pass-phrase? | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | saadi559595: it may still apply, backup any files you edit so you can easily roll back: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4209531 | 10:54 |
| ikonia | tparcina: thats just policy kit | 10:55 |

| ezerhoden | does debian/ubuntu have a command similar to equery depends <packagename> ? to list the installed apps that depend on a particular package? | 10:56 |
| saadi559595 | wat do u mean actionparscnip am new to ubuntu | 10:56 |
| tparcina | ikonia: and I see that clients are requesting and reciving DHCP address (I guss before the client starts PXE) | 10:56 |
| ikonia | tparcina: ahhh good spot | 10:57 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: is there a way to fix it? | 10:57 |
| tparcina | ikonia: you have a clue? | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | saadi559595: im guesing it identifies the scanner model or somesuch, have a route around to see if your is different, I think its a permissions thing. If you run: gksu xsane does it work? | 10:57 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: What I recommend is to boot from a live-CD, extract the initrd image to /tmp/ and see if the cryptsetup scripts are in there | 10:57 |
| ruediger | ok | 10:58 |
| kira\ | through the command line, how can I tell the filesystem type? | 10:58 |
| Lyra | So should I use the automated install system to format the partition or should I use the fdisk command? | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | kira\: sudo fdisk -l will say | 10:58 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: If they aren't it it, you can install cryptsetup and lvm2, open and mount the volume, set-up a chroot, then switch into it and fix things up (maybe crypttab needs altering?) then rebuild the initrd image | 10:59 |
| kira\ | ActionParsnip: it just says linux... | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | kira\: it'll be ext3 then | 10:59 |
| kira\ | ActionParsnip: k, thanks | 10:59 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: Alternatively, if you can boot that system from a different kernel, then use that environment to do the work on the encrypted volume | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Lyra: dont use automatic or it will destroy all the partitions, use manual to make your own partitions or run fdisk / cfdisk first to remove the partitions you dont need, the installer will see the large unallocated space and offer to use it | 11:00 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: i can't mount the encrypted partition from the rescue disc. Only says "Command failed: Can not access device" :/ | 11:01 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: OK, you'll need to use a live-CD then | 11:02 |

| IntuitiveNipple | nickelo: Deciding which partitions to delete in testdisk requires the application of system-specific knowledge as to how it was originally configured, what is expected, etc., it isn't something that someone unacquainted with the system could make a recommendation on. | 11:13 |

| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 11:46 |
| packetloss | is it possible that has mysql anything to do with linux partitions which i can't mount ? | 11:54 |
| adam7 | packetloss: it is very, very, very unlikely. | 11:55 |
| adam7 | packetloss: do you get some type of error? | 11:55 |
| Scix | How can i add multiple wireless nettworks to the interfaces file? | 11:55 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: I recreated initrd and it now loads the correct module (dm_crypt, dm_mod, sha256) but the same error happens :/ | 11:56 |
| less | In /boot/grub/menu.lst, is it possible to replce UUID foo by root hd(0,x)? | 11:56 |
| ziroday | less: yes | 11:57 |
| === david is now known as Guest7904 | ||
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: Did you ensure the cryptsetup script and crypttab are in the initrd ? | 11:57 |
| less | tx, ziroday.. and there won't be any damage` | 11:57 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: cryptsetup | 11:57 |
| ruediger | I used the following description https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemOnIntrepid#Set%20up%20the%20initial%20ramdisk | 11:57 |
| ziroday | less: nope as long as you define the area correctly, you can always make a backup of the menu.lst as well | 11:58 |
| adam7 | less: only trouble you might run into is if you add another hard drive or something | 11:58 |
| packetloss | adam7; do you know anything about mysql partitiosn | 11:58 |
| adam7 | packetloss: I've never heard of a mysql partition | 11:58 |
| less | ok, thank you..i dont think all add another hard drive, its a laptop :) | 11:58 |
| packetloss | http://www.scribd.com/doc/2085418/MySQL-Partitioning | 11:58 |
| adam7 | less: you probably won't then ;) | 11:58 |
| KramerPacer | any way to get rid of all the old kernels when i updated? they're still in the boot list when i start up. i didn't try to delete them in any way just dont wanna have a list 5 miles long | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | KramerPacer: dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 11:59 |
| KramerPacer | thats it? | 11:59 |
| adam7 | less: just out of curiosity, why change the UUID to root (hd0, x)? | 11:59 |
| ziroday | KramerPacer: remove the old linux-image packages | 11:59 |
| KramerPacer | ok | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | KramerPacer: uninstall them lik any other package, run uname -a to see you current kernel and DO NOT uninstall it | 11:59 |
| ziroday | KramerPacer: make sure you don't remove the current kernel though! | 12:00 |
| * ActionParsnip HI5s ziroday | 12:00 | |
| ziroday | ActionParsnip: jinx :) | 12:00 |
| KramerPacer | yea i know that dont worry :P | 12:00 |
| less | adam7: i dont know why, but after installung arch linux and manually editing'arch's menu.lst, ubuntu wouldnt boot.. so i tied replacing UUID by root.. and it wirks | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | KramerPacer: just covering all bases | 12:00 |
| ziroday | less: you can also see the uuid of your drives with blkid | 12:00 |
| adam7 | less: ah, the uuid might have changed when the partitions were edited | 12:00 |
| KramerPacer | i know, its cool. thanks for the help | 12:01 |
| Lyra | Hello again. I've got 8.10 installed now. Thanks for all the help. I have another question though. I heard this distribution had compiz fusion already installed, but I can't find fusion icon. What all do I need to get everything configured? | 12:01 |
| adam7 | Lyra: System -> Prefs -> Appearance -> Desktop Effects | 12:01 |
| blizzle | Lyra, apt-get install fusion-icon | 12:01 |
| ziroday | Lyra: go to Appearances and see if Desktop Effects are enabled | 12:01 |
| less | adam7: i thought something like this, too.. but if there isnt any problem with using root instead of uuid... why not doin it? (: | 12:01 |
| adam7 | less: yeah, with a laptop it doesn't really matter | 12:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: I wonder if you've got all the required encryption methods... what cipher options did you use to create the volume? | 12:02 |
| ziroday | less: because if you change your drive layout the hd(x.x) setup will break, uuid's shouldn't. In theory they are more reliable | 12:02 |
| adam7 | ziroday: his UUID just broke though :/ | 12:02 |
| ziroday | adam7: in theory :) | 12:02 |
| less | adam7: 'her' ;) | 12:02 |
| adam7 | less: sorry :) | 12:03 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: I use "--hash sha512 --key-size 256 --cipher aes-cbc-essiv:sha256" and include "aes_generic dm-mod dm-crypt sha256_generic" | 12:03 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: sha256 and essiv | 12:03 |
| ruediger | cbc-essiv:sha256 | 12:03 |
| ruediger | the default settings | 12:04 |
| KramerPacer | hmm here's a dumb question then. how can i remove the kernels | 12:04 |
| ziroday | KramerPacer: if you use synaptic you can just remove them, its nice and easy :) | 12:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: In crypttab, how have you given the container names? UUID, LABEL, or path (/dev/disk/by-...) ? | 12:05 |
| KramerPacer | that'll work, thanks again | 12:05 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: I used the installer to do that. But he created /dev/mapper/dm0_cryptp1 | 12:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | KramerPacer: the kernels are in packages just like everything else... just make sure you keep a fall-back :) | 12:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: Intrepid ? | 12:06 |
| ruediger | yes | 12:06 |
| ruediger | alternate installer | 12:06 |
| KramerPacer | ok | 12:06 |
| MementoMori | hi | 12:06 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: ok... I use Jaunty now so have to make sure I'm thinking about the appropriate release :) | 12:06 |
| ziroday | MementoMori: Howdy! | 12:06 |
| MementoMori | maybe a bug in okular-extra-backends | 12:07 |
| ziroday | MementoMori: KDE stuff is best handled in #kubuntu :) | 12:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: Can we go back to basics... remind me of the exact error you get? | 12:07 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: is the Jaunty alternate installer more stable in that respect? I have no problems with changing to Jaunty. (another benefit I could use ext4) | 12:07 |
| MementoMori | okular-extra-backends doesnt provide chm support as stated in its description | 12:08 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: Jaunty is alpha right now, I'd stick with what you have :) | 12:08 |
| MementoMori | can I dowload the deb src and rebuild it enabling chm? | 12:08 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: I think you should extract the initrd- image and check what's in there! | 12:08 |
| ikonia | MementoMori: better to log a bug | 12:09 |
| ikonia | MementoMori: so everyone gets it fixed | 12:09 |
| MementoMori | where should I fill the bug report? | 12:09 |
| bogard | ahoi, got a problem when my laptop reaches its critical cpu temperature .... i've identified acpid emits an event thermal event to X, atieventsd and hald-addons-acpi. how can i disable automatic shutdown (most likely initiated by hald) and instead provide a notification? | 12:09 |
| tealson | Hello, I would like to install a Crypted sys without deleting the whole disk, is this possible with the alternative installer? E.G.: I would prefer to create a 11GB crypted LVM and create my root & swap partition in it. | 12:09 |
| Decepticon | how can i get a cpu usage % and mem usage % in my taskbar in screen using .screenrc | 12:09 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: .screenrc isn't used for your gnome desktop | 12:10 |
| Decepticon | no its not, its used for screen | 12:10 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: there is a monitoring applet though already in gnome | 12:10 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: screen is not a monitoring application | 12:11 |
| Decepticon | im not on a gui | 12:11 |
| Decepticon | im on screen | 12:11 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: http://rafb.net/p/LjH7zR86.html | 12:11 |
| bogard | is it indeed hald which initiates a shutdown or is rather gnome which receives events from hald? | 12:11 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: screen is just a terminal abstraction layer between a shell and the user, you'd have to launch an application on the shell, such as top and use screen to connect/discconnect from it | 12:11 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: ok. I guess the crypto is working. The problem is the lvm now | 12:11 |
| Lyra | Well, I got fusion icon from Synaptiic, and I my windows manager to Compiz but I still only have 2 desktops. | 12:11 |
| Decepticon | ikonia there is a option to have a 'taskbar' a 'hardstatus line' ' a statusbar' in screen | 12:12 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: yes, thats right | 12:12 |
| ruediger | /dev/mapper/vg-lv was the lvm device i created (vg == volume group ; lv == logical volume) | 12:12 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: no-where in screen is there a monitoring application though | 12:12 |
| Lyra | set my windows manager to compiz* | 12:12 |
| Decepticon | ikonia, yes, if there is a cpu load or mem load option for that, i would appreciate knowing it, so i may see it directly in my screen session, instead of flipping to top | 12:12 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: there isn't - it's not a monitoring application | 12:12 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: so I guess I have to recreate the initrd with lvm support in it :/ | 12:13 |
| ikonia | ruediger: that should be in already | 12:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: I do this stuff alot, see if one of my articles helps you here. This is the most recent but there's several for different scenarios: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/InstallToMultipleLVMsArbitraryEncryption | 12:14 |
| ruediger | ikonia: how can I check if it's really there? | 12:14 |
| ikonia | ruediger: look inside | 12:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: It can only be LVM if you're getting prompted for the pass-phrase | 12:14 |
| ruediger | cat /proc/modules | grep lvm didn't return a result | 12:15 |
| bogard | mh, just read about acpi providing a critical shutdown mechanism, but i cannot see something about it in the acpi logs | 12:15 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: nope. I'm not prompted | 12:15 |
| Decepticon | ikonia im sure theres a way | 12:15 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: then use screen support | 12:15 |
| Decepticon | ikoniai will | 12:15 |
| Decepticon | ikonia i will | 12:15 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: To extract an initrd: "mkdir /tmpt/initrd; cd /tmp/initrd; gunzip < /boot/initrd-2.6.xxxxxx | cpio -i --make-directories; cd initrd;" | 12:15 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: Then cryptsetup isn't running | 12:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: deal with the typos in my example of how to extract the initrd ! | 12:16 |
| mib | hi.anyone reckon me the best messenger to use in ubuntu | 12:16 |
| ruediger | i'm currently in the initramfs | 12:16 |
| hwilde | mib, for what protocol | 12:16 |
| ruediger | the system dumped me there after the error message | 12:17 |
| mib | hwilde: for YM, MSN. | 12:17 |
| hwilde | mib, pidgin | 12:17 |
| mib | i need it for games,webcam,normal use | 12:17 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: http://hans.fugal.net/blog/2009/02/05/pimping-screen is that close enough for what you want ? | 12:17 |
| manacim | hello | 12:17 |
| mgolisch | games? | 12:17 |
| mib | pidgin seems only support basic chat. | 12:17 |
| Lyra | Hmm, I got CCSM from synaptic as well and its not showing under fusion icon. I ran it in a terminal and some of the features are working but I've still only got two desktops and I can't get the desktop cube to wrok. | 12:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: ahh ok. | 12:17 |
| mib | you know those yahoo extra games or webcam etc. | 12:17 |
| manacim | anyone here use 9.04 for production use/ | 12:17 |
| mgolisch | i doubt any client has support for advanced features like games and stuff | 12:17 |
| Lyra | work* | 12:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: can you run the cryptsetup command manually then? | 12:18 |
| carpii__ | meh, im so sick of having to terminate firefox. its just utterly shit on ubuntu | 12:18 |
| mib | is YM itself has its version for ubuntu? | 12:18 |
| mib | anyone used it before? | 12:18 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: yes | 12:18 |
| mib | or maybe MSN for Ubuntu | 12:18 |
| hwilde | mib, there is amsn | 12:18 |
| ikonia | mib: ym is nothing to do with ubuntu | 12:18 |
| Decepticon | ikonia ive already done most of those mods | 12:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | manacim: 9.04 is alpha... no one uses it for 'production' ! | 12:18 |
| ikonia | mib: the only ubuntu releases are the ones on the ubuntu.com site | 12:18 |
| mib | oh. | 12:18 |
| hwilde | amsn. | 12:19 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: yes, there is a cached version which shows how to load a plugin(3rd party daemon) to monitor memory, but it's not coming up | 12:19 |
| manacim | IntuitiveNipple: i'm just asking if anyone uses it since it's just a month away from being marked as production use | 12:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: So, I guess the script isn't being called. Is it in /scripts/local-top/ ? | 12:19 |
| mib | hwilde: amsn=msn features? | 12:19 |
| ikonia | manacim: if there are problems - it will be delayed, it won't just get released | 12:19 |
| hwilde | mib, yep. do you know about synaptic ?? | 12:19 |
| mgolisch | it cant do games i think | 12:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | manacim: 2 months.. end of April | 12:19 |
| Decepticon | ikonia i wish there was a way to run a external command and get output displayed in the hardstatus line | 12:19 |
| mib | yeah.you mean synaptic has this package? | 12:19 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: there is a cryptroot cryptopensc and cryptoroot | 12:19 |
| hwilde | mib, yep | 12:20 |
| manacim | IntuitiveNipple: well yeah | 12:20 |
| Decepticon | ikonia so i could run cat meminfo and run a rudimentary calculation of ram_used/ram_total | 12:20 |
| manacim | 2 months is not that long | 12:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: good... cryptroot is the one.... does it have execute permissions ? | 12:20 |
| hwilde | Decepticon, that's easy man... you could do it with a shell script in the background. | 12:20 |
| mib | have u used before? good? | 12:20 |
| ikonia | Decepticon: script it | 12:20 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: yes | 12:20 |
| hwilde | mib, try it already | 12:20 |
| mib | okie | 12:20 |
| hwilde | you know you want to | 12:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: is the cryptsetup binary in place? | 12:20 |
| Decepticon | hwilde what do yu mean | 12:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: If so, I'm going to suggest the crypto scripts aren't being running for some reason. | 12:21 |
| ruediger | yes | 12:21 |
| kevor | yo | 12:21 |
| hwilde | Decepticon, watch -t 'top -b -n1 | grep -e Cpu -e Mem' | 12:21 |
| Stavros | hello | 12:21 |
| Stavros | what is the best way to manage which services start on boot from the command line? | 12:22 |
| ikonia | Stavros: upstart | 12:22 |
| ikonia | !upstart Stavros | 12:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about upstart Stavros | 12:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: If you can manually unlock the volume now, from within the initrd, then the issue must be the scripts not being called properly, or failing. | 12:22 |
| ikonia | !upstart >Stavros | 12:22 |
| ubottu | Stavros, please see my private message | 12:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: What does the crypttab show? | 12:22 |
| ikonia | Stavros: update-rc.d is the command to manage it | 12:22 |
| manacim | anybody here play the steam game Counter Strike 1.6 in linux? | 12:23 |
| Stavros | ikonia: will i be able to readd it if i need to? | 12:23 |
| jorn | i used to | 12:23 |
| ikonia | manacim: a lot of people in #winehq will be used to playing games | 12:23 |
| ikonia | Stavros: yup | 12:23 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: uh, I'm missing crypttab. That could be the problem :/ | 12:23 |
| Stavros | ikonia: ah, thank you | 12:23 |
| manacim | ikonia: i can play the game fine but it would crash my ubuntu entirely | 12:23 |
| manacim | i would have to manually reset it | 12:23 |
| ikonia | manacim: which is probably wine - which is why I pointed you at #winehq | 12:23 |
| manacim | oh | 12:24 |
| jorn | manacim: ask in #winehq | 12:24 |

| jorn | Lyra: there are enough tutorials on the net just google it | 12:26 |
| jorn | :) | 12:26 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: looks like the cryptsetup update-initramfs hook script isn't working when update-initramfs runs | 12:26 |
| DigitalKiwi | wt is cube :/ | 12:26 |

| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: how? | 12:27 |
| DigitalKiwi | oh no ops | 12:27 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: /sbin/cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/xxxx <dm-name> | 12:27 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: where to mount the device? | 12:29 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: you did tell me earlier what the /dev/mapper/ name was... that is what you should use | 12:29 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: but remember, only give the basename, not the full path | 12:30 |
| === randoms is now known as randoms|away | ||
| ruediger | the /sbin/cryptsetup was successfull now I have /dev/mapper/dm0_cryptop1 | 12:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: congrats | 12:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | now get that LVM volume open | 12:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: /sbin/vgscan && /sbin/vgchange -ay | 12:30 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: i don't have /sbin/vgscan | 12:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: Hmmm... lemme check here | 12:31 |
| ruediger | :/ | 12:31 |
| ikonia | vgscan should be valid | 12:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ikonia: no, not in the initrd | 12:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: /sbin/lvm vgscan && /sbin/lvm vgchange -ay | 12:32 |
| ikonia | ooh | 12:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: sorry... I keep forgetting you're in the initrd :p | 12:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | You have to wear two 'hats' - one for initrd and one for full root mounted | 12:32 |
| tealson | I'm currently installing xubuntu from the alternative cdrom and the installation is stucked at 6% can i fix this somehow? | 12:32 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: ok done | 12:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: okay, now, you *should* be able to exit the busybox and continue booting... I think you press Ctrl+D (or type exit) | 12:33 |
| ruediger | :/ the same error lvm vgscan did not create /dev/mapper/vg-lv | 12:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: hmmm... did vgscan report finding a VG? | 12:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: if not the following vgchange wouldn't have run | 12:34 |
| Studiosus | hi! Guy I know have his PS/2 notebook keyboard non-functional during install of 8.10. External UBS keyboard works. How this can be solved? | 12:35 |
| ruediger | it only said "Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while..." | 12:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: try doing the vgchange separately: /sbin/lvm vgchange -ay | 12:35 |
| jway | is there a way that I can send a message to someone connected to my server via ssh? | 12:35 |
| jway | I have the ip | 12:36 |
| adam7 | jway: use the wall command | 12:36 |
| B10S | no-ip isnt updating my ip!! | 12:36 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: ok. but vgchange didn't report anything. But echo $? reports 0 | 12:36 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: is the volume in /dev/mapper though? | 12:37 |
| tealson | jway: install 'talk' | 12:37 |
| Frantic | anyone knows why my sys only shows 3.2 of 4GB ram on 64bit version? (dmidecode correctly shows 2x2GB) | 12:37 |
| ruediger | IntuitiveNipple: no | 12:37 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Frantic: Yes, because the space between 3.2G and 4G is reserved for PCI I/I Memory so RAM can't appear there. | 12:37 |
| adam7 | jway: the write command may work too | 12:38 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ruediger: Hmmm. | 12:38 |
| jway | thanks | 12:38 |
| co_cakep | fggh | 12:38 |
| co_cakep | hy | 12:38 |
| tealson | Frantic: additionaly check your BIOS setting if some space is reserved, i have 4GB and "only" 3,5 are accessable | 12:38 |
| Frantic | IntuitiveNipple: tealson: I was under the impression that these problems only concern 32bit versions | 12:38 |
| ikonia | co_cakep: ? | 12:39 |
| tealson | Frantic: not if you reserve ram in the bios, e.g. for the grafic card | 12:39 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Frantic: If the chipset supports RAM remapping it can make it available. Some northbridge chipsets for 64-bit CPUs only provide 32-bit address space | 12:39 |

| Dr_willis | transporter, No idea. selexct it.. use the apply ior whatever buttion, then try minimizing a window. You just have to toy with it.. | 13:10 |
| Dimensions | Kartagis: to create certificate i need to have apache2-ssl-certificate installed ... which is missing | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | transporter: I'd ask in #compi | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | transporter: i only know of the plane but i dont use compiz | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis | transporter, or you are setting it for a close, or other 'event' - I dont use COmpiz much at all.. and when i do i dont use those silly effects. | 13:10 |

| Carpe|Diem | I have 2 partitions, one as / and the other as /home but I would like to move my /home to my / ...is it possible? | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | runpain2: i just submitted your suggestion for review :D | 13:28 |
| Dr_willis | Carpe|Diem, yes. you could do that. | 13:28 |
| Carpe|Diem | ok, Dr_willis but how:) | 13:28 |
| jrib | nmlinuz: in any case, you want to learn about "namespaces" in c++ | 13:29 |
| Dr_willis | Carpe|Diem, properly move the files from /home to /To_Be_Home, unmount /home/ then rename /ToBeHome to /home | 13:29 |
| Carpe|Diem | I assume i need to modify fstab etc? But im not familiar with that | 13:29 |
| Decepticon | how can i show much ram ive used out of total ram available to me | 13:29 |
| Dr_willis | Carpe|Diem, only fstab editing would be to edit out the line that mounts home. thats trivial | 13:29 |
| Carpe|Diem | is that all, Dr_willis ?:s | 13:29 |
| jrib | Decepticon: free | 13:29 |
| Carpe|Diem | oh ok Dr_willis | 13:29 |
| Wazle | what was the command for seeing kernel version? | 13:29 |

| Huufarted | Anybody here know how to auto-mount hard drives instead of having to 'visit' the drive in Places first? | 13:29 |
| jrib | Decepticon: pastebin | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Decepticon: cat /proc/meminfo | 13:29 |
| Dr_willis | Carpe|Diem, the trick is copying the home the proper way.. depending on what files are in there, and other special files like links and stuff.. it may get confused | 13:29 |
| jrib | Huufarted: what filesystem? | 13:30 |
| Decepticon | jrib http://s.tazeat.com:1234/~bizinichi/paste/1235136757 | 13:30 |
| Carpe|Diem | yes, I thought so:/ | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Decepticon: a lot of it is used for disk cache which will decrease as ram is needed | 13:30 |
| jrib | Decepticon: look at the -/+ buffers/cache line | 13:30 |
| Huufarted | jrib: FAT32 | 13:30 |
| mrpurple | jrib: i have to download that qc-usb-source_0.6.6-5_all.deb file and install it ? | 13:30 |
| Decepticon | jrib, what about it | 13:30 |
| Carpe|Diem | perhaps, Dr_willis, its better to format my entire system...I'm rather unexperienced with the deep functions of linux | 13:30 |
| Decepticon | ActionParsnip so what is the actual amount of ram used by programs and sentient programs, minus this disk cache | 13:31 |
| jrib | Huufarted: I think you can install and use ntfs-config for fat as well. If not, you can configure it in /etc/fstab manually yourself | 13:31 |
| jrib | !fstab | Huufarted | 13:31 |
| ubottu | Huufarted: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 13:31 |

| Huufarted | jrib, now that you mention that, I think qtparted can do it for me. | 13:31 |
| jrib | Decepticon: most of the memory is being used for buffers/cache. So if a program needs it, it will be available. Unused ram is wasted ram, so it makes sense to use as much as possible | 13:31 |
| runpain2 | it did not work to change default browserupdate-alternatives: unknown argument `–config' | 13:31 |

| Wazle | and use this in console: sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh | 13:33 |

| ActionParsnip | Decepticon: i'd say you were using 340Mb, but I have 1Gb ram too and have similar output | 13:34 |
| jrib | Decepticon: the numbers on the +/- buffers/cache line | 13:34 |
| Decepticon | ActionParsnip how do you know this | 13:34 |
| Dr_willis | Wazle, when i installed that package it auto-ran and got the proper b43 firmnware. I dident have to run that command. | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Decepticon: if you look at the top of the otput of 'top' it will tell you your ram too :) | 13:34 |
| KevDog | Wazle: Load the b43 driver: sudo modprobe 43, check to see if that worked with lshw -C network, and then | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Decepticon: active is my guess | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Decepticon: i'd read up on what the output means | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | i gotta split | 13:34 |

| Decepticon | jrib i am taking (the number from the Mem: row and used column) and subtracting (the number from -/+ buffers/cache row and total column) ? | 13:36 |
| Wazle | did i do something wrong? | 13:36 |
| jrib | Decepticon: no. You are just looking at the +/- buffers/cache line | 13:36 |
| Wazle | if i use sudo modprobe 43 it says module not found | 13:36 |
| KevDog | Wazle: Sounds like you didn't install it | 13:36 |
| Decepticon | jrib whys that | 13:36 |
| Dr_willis | Carpe|Diem, you said / - so you sauid you wanted it in /home so like i mentioned.. use /to_be_home to move stuff to.. Unmount /home/ delete /home THEN rename the /to_be_home to become /home | 13:36 |
| Wazle | so? what do i do now | 13:37 |
| whatever_8979876 | a | 13:37 |
| jrib | Decepticon: because that's the memory that's being used for things other than buffers/cache | 13:37 |
| Carpe|Diem | ok Dr_willis, Ty...I will have a try now :] | 13:37 |
| Decepticon | jrib as you can see, my data is shifted to the right for the column you speak of, what do those numbers represent, used and free or total and used | 13:37 |
| cak054 | hi all just doing a test | 13:37 |
| BDenis | In /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf we add "PostProcessing /usr/bin/abc", /usr/bin/abc is: "echo "lalala">/tmp/tmp.log" and after we print to PDF printer tmp.log does not exist. Whats wrong? | 13:38 |

| jrib | mrpurple: try the first one | 13:40 |
| Wazle | do i have to restart system? | 13:40 |
| Decepticon | jrib so would you say that total_ram_used (the way i understand it) / total_ram ... is this: [the number from -/+ buffers/cache row and used column] / [the number from Mem: row and total column] | 13:40 |
| jrib | Decepticon: if you don't want to count the ram being used for buffers/cache, yes. | 13:41 |
| Carpe|Diem | Ok Dr_willis Im copying from /home to /to_be_home :] | 13:41 |
| Decepticon | jrib what exactly goes into buffers/cache, who is using it | 13:41 |
| Decepticon | jrib i only want to count the amount of ram being used by programs, and system, and daemon | 13:41 |
| jrib | Decepticon: then what you said is what you want | 13:42 |
| Decepticon | jrib, i see, but what does it mean buffers/cache, who is using this ram and why so much | 13:42 |
| Decepticon | jrib, why is that ram not freely available, but instead being cached or buffered | 13:43 |

| pjsturgeon | I am just trying to add a new drive. I first need to run a command to list all my partitions and drives so i can see what the name is to mount it | 13:56 |

| ubottu | itai_michaelson: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい | 13:56 |
| fasta | speedmaster: I only have the Master option available when I run alsamixer | 13:56 |
| itai_michaelson | Pici, thanks | 13:56 |
| speedmaster | is volume control up in x though fasta? | 13:56 |
| fasta | unanxbt: I don't know. | 13:56 |
| RussM | so, "sudo fdisk -l" doesn't show it? | 13:56 |
| speedmaster | from there you can go to preferences | 13:56 |

| KazaLite | what is recommended way to install ubuntu? should i make full installation on one partition and later format and mount other partitions? | 13:57 |
| pjsturgeon | bloody hell sudo! im used to having root permissions | 13:57 |
| pjsturgeon | thank you (and sorry for swearing in here :p) | 13:57 |
| lvlefisto | what is the command to see what network ports are open? | 13:57 |
| KazaLite | or i should even split the installation like installing boot on one partition and other things on other partition? | 13:57 |
| Nicador | pjsturgeon: sudo su and you will have root access. | 13:57 |
| pjsturgeon | Nicador: yea cheers for that, i just keep forgetting | 13:58 |
| pjsturgeon | sudo !! is my best friend recently ;) | 13:58 |
| RussM | pjsturgeon, sudo -i might make you happy. sometimes there's no getting around several root commands in a row | 13:58 |
| pjsturgeon | ahh great, thanks | 13:58 |
| KazaLite | is there some anti-virus for ubuntu/linux? | 13:59 |
| speedmaster | fasta: I can only suggest now is if you go to system > preferences > sound and try the different devs and hit the test function | 13:59 |
| geirha | !antivirus | KazaLite | 13:59 |
| ubottu | KazaLite: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 13:59 |
| Travis-42 | I'm trying to use firefox with xfvb for testing purposes on Ubuntu Server. Installing firefox requests that I get gnome -- is there a way to use the package manager to install firefox for xfvb, or do I have to install it manually? | 13:59 |
| fasta | speedmaster: I already did those things, but thanks anyway. | 13:59 |
| Pici | Nicador: Look into the manpage for setterm for the screen blanking | 13:59 |
| speedmaster | fasta: I had no sound though when I booted a clean 8.10 install because of the center option being selected in volume control, after i switched to front i had no issue | 14:00 |
| KazaLite | i see and how you ppl install ubuntu? | 14:00 |
| Twinkletoes|W | I have a separate passwd file for NIS, and I want to add users. Is there any way to get adduser or useradd to look at the NIS passwd file, or will I have to do everything (including getting uids/making homedirs/crontabs etc.) by hand? | 14:00 |
| speedmaster | fasta: no problem, good luck, I have a SB 24 card and I have never really had an issue | 14:00 |

| pjsturgeon | "sudo mount -t fat32 /dev/sda /media/second-drive" gives me "unknown filesystem type 'fat32'. Am I doing this wrong? | 14:00 |

| pjsturgeon | thanks enzotib | 14:01 |
| fasta | speedmaster: I also had no problems on my laptop and on all the other hardware I bought myself. | 14:01 |
| KazaLite | and why we dont need anti-virus for linux? | 14:01 |
| heatmzzr | I have screenlets installed and wanted to add one.. where would I extract the downloaded widget? | 14:01 |
| eth01 | KazaLite: suppose to be bullet proof | 14:02 |
| eth01 | or say they say :) | 14:02 |
| speedmaster | KazaLite: because only idiots run their system from root | 14:02 |
| Dr_willis | KazaLite, because theres very few out there for linux. and those that are out - are often very very specific to specific services and versions of those services.. so its not a problem | 14:02 |
| Twinkletoes|W | KazaLite: As Linux become smore popular, more people will target it | 14:02 |
| Decepticon | if i sat down and looked at top, and all the programs it lists and their memory usage, if i added all those percentages up, and if i took my statistic (cache_used/mem_total) * 100, would they be the same? and is this statistic equal to the "Active:" number given by the command "cat /proc/meminfo" | 14:02 |
| Berserkur | KazaLite: Because there are only a handful of viruses existing for Linux and they do virtually no harm | 14:02 |
| Dr_willis | KazaLite, and even then in a 'worse' case - it would be the users stuff that gets trashed by malware.. niot the system | 14:02 |
| fasta | KazaLite: the most important reason is that there is no mono culture. | 14:03 |
| RussM | pjsturgeon, I think mount shows the valid fs type name strings. | 14:03 |
| RussM | pjsturgeon, sorry, the mount man page. | 14:03 |
| fasta | KazaLite: if you invest 1 million dollar to hack 100 million machines, that's good business, but there are not 100 million the same Linux machines. | 14:03 |
| heatmzzr | I have screenlets installed and wanted to add one.. where would I extract the downloaded widget? | 14:04 |
| Berserkur | KazaLite: The thing is that in Linux, be default, you have virtually no privileges on the computer. So for that reason, if you download a virus... that virus wouldn't be able to do much harm except to your user | 14:04 |
| pjsturgeon | RussM: didnt spot it if it was there. Mounted now, just fiddling with fstab :) | 14:04 |
| tyche | My son has installed Ubuntu on a Windows machine. Now, he'd like to be able to read the Windows portion of the drive from inside Ubuntu. Is it possible? | 14:05 |
| JEEBcz | Sure | 14:05 |
| speedmaster | yes | 14:05 |
| JEEBcz | ntfs-3g should be installed by default on ubuntu, you just might have to mount it manually | 14:05 |
| Berserkur | tyche: Yes, ubuntu should find that portion automatically | 14:05 |
| adam7 | tyche: yep. Just open the file manager and click on the Windows partition. | 14:05 |
| speedmaster | ntfs-3g should be on already synaptic will install it if not | 14:05 |
| tyche | Thanks. Let me see if that works for him. | 14:06 |

| josh__ | Hey guys, running Heron here on a Dell Inspiron netbook (not sure if that matters), but I can't switch users. No matter which "switch user" button I hit (directly from the panel or from the "System -> Quit" screen, I just get a black screen and then back to asking for the password of the last user logged in (basically it just locks the screen and never gives me an option to switch users)... anyone have any suggestions on where to start | 14:08 |
| josh__ | to fix it? i've googled with not much luck.... | 14:08 |
| halfrican | please can someone help me with my dpkg issue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/120591/ | 14:08 |

| ubottu | pjsturgeon: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 14:08 |
| adam7 | josh__: check and see if there is a switch user button on the box asking for the password of the last user | 14:09 |
| josh__ | adam7: There is, and that one doesn't work either -- it does the same thing as the others. | 14:10 |
| scunizi | josh__: did you create a new user? | 14:10 |
| Tha_Stig | the ctrl+f2 didnt work but i managed to fix my lil issue, lets hope my wifi works now :D | 14:10 |
| josh__ | I have 2 users on my system... I have ever since I received it. | 14:11 |
| speedmaster | Tha_Stig: iwconfig doesn't show what the problem is? | 14:12 |
| scunizi | josh__: when you initially boot the machine are you able to log into the other account? | 14:12 |
| josh__ | Yes. | 14:12 |
| josh__ | And if I log out completely, then I can log in as the other user then, too. | 14:12 |
| Tha_Stig | speedmaster: im following this guide for the wifi fix https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne | 14:13 |
| scunizi | josh__: so it's just the user switcher. do you have a theme installed that is other than "stock"? | 14:13 |
| josh__ | No, I haven't installed any themes. | 14:14 |
| ScarySquirrel | Hey, does anyone here know how to revert a kernel update? | 14:14 |
| scunizi | josh__: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 14:14 |
| josh__ | Heron. | 14:14 |
| speedmaster | Tha_Stig: are you using intrepid and if so i'm guessing it didnt work out of the box? | 14:14 |
| arvind_khadri | ScarySquirrel, you can remove it you want to... or rather use the older kernel | 14:14 |
| josh__ | 8.04 | 14:15 |
| Tha_Stig | im actually using mint, but since its based off ubuntu <.< | 14:15 |
| arvind_khadri | !mint | Tha_Stig | 14:15 |

| Discipulus | So my laptop (Compaq) Occasionally has issues waking up from suspend. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and specifically the issue is that when I go to wake up, the computer wakes up, but the password prompt does not appear (Computer is awake, but screen is still black, not entirely black like off black, but artificially black like on black if that makes sense) | 14:16 |
| josh__ | Ok. Thanks. | 14:16 |
| ScarySquirrel | Yeah, I have an extremely weird problem in my UBUNTU GNOME operating system that remained even when I used a Linux Mint Live CD with XFCE. | 14:16 |
| Tha_Stig | i usually fix my mint issues with ubuntu solutions...and thus my wifi is working now ^^ | 14:16 |
| josh__ | In my searches on Google and of the Ubuntu forums i see problems similar to mine but not the same | 14:16 |
| arvind_khadri | ScarySquirrel, expalin the problem | 14:17 |
| Travis-42 | I want to setup an Ubuntu Server that accepts no incoming connections (except from my computer), but can connect outside (e.g. for updates) -- basically a secure dev server that's connected to the internet. Should I use ufw to do this? | 14:17 |
| arvind_khadri | Travis-42, iptables | 14:17 |
| ScarySquirrel | arvind_khadri: I already have, three months ago, in detail, at the following location: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6767674#post6767674 | 14:17 |
| speedmaster | Tha_Stig: so iwconfig doesn't show any readings? | 14:18 |
| adam7 | Travis-42: use ssh with ssh keys | 14:18 |
| adam7 | Travis-42: unless you always connect from the same IP it will be difficult to set up the server to only allow your computer to see the open port | 14:18 |
| Travis-42 | adam7: definitely going to do that... but what about server processes like apache? | 14:18 |
| Tha_Stig | speedmaster: i just put the ath_pci line in the modules file...did a restart and wifi is working now, gonna read up the whole guide first before moving further :) | 14:19 |
| adam7 | Travis-42: if you always connect from the same IP it's trivial to do with iptables, but if you use multiple IP addresses | 14:19 |
| adam7 | it's much more difficult | 14:19 |
| Travis-42 | hmm ok thanks adam7 and arvind_khadri | 14:19 |
| speedmaster | Tha_Stig: glad to hear you got things going at least | 14:19 |
| arvind_khadri | ScarySquirrel, you can choose a older kernel at the grub menu | 14:19 |

| josh___ | Do you think upgrading to 8.10 would solve the switch user problem? Is it worth attempting? | 14:21 |
| arvind_khadri | booksbuggy, you can use rm | 14:21 |
| Tha_Stig | im not sure :$ i just got this netbook a few hours ago XD | 14:21 |
| scunizi | josh__ sorry I haven't found anything.. sorry 'bout that.. upgrading might help if the issue isn't in your /home in a .<something> file | 14:21 |
| ScarySquirrel | arvind_khadri: Oh, of course. I will try that, and if it fails, I will add it to the list. | 14:21 |

| booksbuggy | it won't let me go into the other drive | 14:22 |

| arvind_khadri | ScarySquirrel, did you file a bug? | 14:22 |
| josh___ | No worries. It wouldn't even be a big issue, it's my partner and I's secondary computer (basically so we didn't have to fight over being on facebook at the same time lol), except that he likes his settings are totally different than I do lol | 14:22 |

| booksbuggy | and i can't restore the thing in recovery because it is read only for some reason | 14:23 |
| scunizi | josh___: you could get inventive and add another video card, keyboard, monitor and mouse and set the machine up so you can both log in at the same time.. | 14:24 |
| Dr_willis | Very_Cool, check the 'watch' command. or the 'tail' command - depeoidn ion your needsd | 14:24 |
| Very_Cool | thanks | 14:24 |
| archwild | Very_Cool try less, or tail -f | 14:24 |
| josh___ | That would be pretty inventive on a netbook, lol, or on my Macbook. | 14:24 |
| booksbuggy | i tried to do system restore with the back up thread in forum | 14:24 |
| David_E | Does anyone know how to get their Ipod to sync with ubuntu | 14:24 |

| Silicium | in the initrd or directly in the kernel? | 14:26 |
| speedmaster | pjsturgeon: the settings seem to be correct for that | 14:26 |
| archwild | scunizi, haha - didn't even notice that - I should get out more... | 14:27 |
| pjsturgeon | speedmaster: think there is an issue with using a symlink for samba? or are my actual file settings wrong? | 14:27 |
| RussM | pjsturgeon, you may want to set uid and gid options on the mount point | 14:27 |
| bangalibabu | is there any necessity to do tasks like disks clean-up, defragmenting, and other system optimizing tasks like on windows? | 14:27 |
| scunizi | rrittenhouse: turn "effects" off if they are on | 14:27 |
| speedmaster | pjsturgeon: I can't say about symlink, but your permissions to me are spot on. | 14:27 |
| erUSUL | bangalibabu: no for the most part | 14:27 |
| pjsturgeon | aha RussM, could be it. my mount is set as /dev/sda1 /media/second-drive vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0 | 14:27 |
| arvind_khadri | bangalibabu, no they happen automagically... and linux fs dont fragment | 14:27 |

| rrittenhouse | scunizi, actually that worked. wtf? :) Why all of a sudden after I do updates it's doing that haha | 14:28 |

| bangalibabu | arvind_khadri: thank you | 14:29 |
| RussM | pjsturgeon, Hmmm. My mac died. | 14:29 |
| pjsturgeon | I think RussM is probably right, it could be a mounting issue. is this ok? "/dev/sda /media/second-drive vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0"? | 14:30 |
| bangalibabu | that's really wonderful | 14:30 |
| pjsturgeon | Russm: im sorry for your loss | 14:30 |
| fixxxermet | Using tsclient, I have the "enable window manager's key bindings" option checked, while using fullscreen. Ideally, I would like use one of my workspaces as a fullscreen remote desktop to a citrix server, and then use ctrl+alt+left/right to go to my other work spaces. | 14:30 |
| fixxxermet | This kind of works. When I hit ctrl+alt+left/right, the workspace switcher pops up, but when I select a different workspace, it doesn't change to the other one | 14:30 |
| RussM | pjsturgeon, I just wish Apple would let me copy the OSX over into a virtual machine on my 'buntu server. :) | 14:31 |

| pjsturgeon | otherwise, issue | 14:31 |

| pjsturgeon | RussM im thinking of going the other way. Putting ubuntu on my macbook >.< | 14:32 |
| scunizi | rrittenhouse: just a thought.. if you have ccsm installed then go in there and see if the decorations button is checked..it's in the Effects section of ccsm | 14:32 |

| arvind_khadri | pjsturgeon, this isnt OSX support channel | 14:37 |
| pjsturgeon | got it guys, RussM you were right. I added user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 to the options and not its fine | 14:37 |

| Pir8 | Need some assistance trying to install proftpd. | 15:14 |
| saurabh | like we have in redhat(/etc/inittab).there must be somthing in ubntu | 15:14 |
| arvind_khadri | Mal3ko, ubuntu uses wget... not curl | 15:14 |
| erUSUL | saurabh: all runlevels in ubuntu/debian are equal by default (except 0,1 and 6 of course) | 15:14 |
| RenatoSilva | arvind_khadri: I gave up of that, in favor or system startup (as it seems impossible) | 15:14 |
| ScarySquirrel | arvind_khadri: Since this happened with a live CD which used Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid), I doubt that reinstalling with a later CD will fix the problem. In the event that it does not, how do I use 8.10 with an earlier kernel? | 15:14 |
| [droide] | I just downloaded some dotfiles that were published for mac and the author says it is possible to use/install in ubuntu...What is the default place to put dotfiles in ubuntu? | 15:15 |
| Mal3ko | arvind_khadri: cant use wget..i have no permission to use it | 15:15 |
| Mal3ko | only wget | 15:15 |
| RenatoSilva | arvind_khadri: in favor OF | 15:15 |
| doolph | arvind_khadri can you help me? I am reading it but those tutorials only teach you how to create it from scratch, I just need add another HD to increase my actual HD | 15:15 |
| saurabh | so we dont have a subtitute of /etc/inittab in ubuntu> | 15:15 |
| RenatoSilva | arvind_khadri: now I've got your suggestion | 15:15 |
| saurabh | ????????????/ | 15:15 |
| arvind_khadri | Mal3ko, sudo wget maybe | 15:15 |
| RenatoSilva | arvind_khadri: sorry | 15:15 |
| arvind_khadri | RenatoSilva, its ok :) | 15:16 |
| Pir8 | I have proftpd installed using apt-get install proftpd, but am not able to see where I select "Standalone/Inetd" nor do I see /etc/init.d/proftpd | 15:16 |
| arvind_khadri | doolph, sorry am not a expert on that.. | 15:16 |
| erUSUL | saurabh:i ask again what do you want to change? | 15:16 |
| n8tuserf | saurabh -> near equivalent is /etc/event.d | 15:16 |
| RenatoSilva | arvind_khadri: would be nice update manager having some trigger mechanism | 15:16 |
| Kaerigan | Currently running the 8.10 live CD. It mounts my USB drive, but as read-only. Can I fix this somehow? Trying to actually install Ubuntu on it. | 15:16 |
| Mal3ko | arvind_khadri: lol..its webshost ssh..i can only use curl | 15:16 |
| arvind_khadri | ScarySquirrel, i think you arent getting the point... live-cd sometimes is weird...so install and check anyways... | 15:17 |
| arvind_khadri | Mal3ko, oh ok :) | 15:17 |
| saurabh | thanx /etc/evet.d is the one | 15:17 |
| saurabh | thanx | 15:17 |
| arvind_khadri | RenatoSilva, you can make it as a wishlist... | 15:17 |
| Mal3ko | do you know trick with xarg? | 15:17 |
| TerminHell | lag? | 15:17 |
| Mal3ko | xargs* | 15:17 |
| RenatoSilva | arvind_khadri: ok, thanks | 15:17 |
| RenatoSilva | arvind_khadri: and sorry | 15:17 |
| aleix | anyone here knows when nf_nat_ftp should be used? If i load it the users on my local net can't download any file from a remote fet server... | 15:18 |
| arvind_khadri | RenatoSilva, thats really ok :) np never mind | 15:18 |
| Travis-42 | how can I turn on monitor color profiles on a per monitor basis? (e.g. different profile for left monitor and for right monitor) | 15:18 |
| n8tuserf | Kaerigan -> you have tried to read up a bit on mount ? man mount, and see i fyou can get the idea, options are listed on man pages.. | 15:18 |
| n8tuserf | aleix -> thats an application? what does that do supposedly? | 15:19 |
| Kaerigan | n8tuserf: Didn't think of that. I'll try it. | 15:19 |
| RenatoSilva | Is there a way to disable .bash_history? | 15:19 |
| aleix | no, it's an netfilter/iptables module | 15:20 |
| rdohms | hey guys | 15:20 |
| saurabh | i want to dual boot ubuntu with windows vista(vista first).........using a pen drive[as becoz the cd drive is not working ]......can anyone tell me the complete set of procedures | 15:20 |
| RatPackSopra- | BLANK MicroCrap .....that is all ;) | 15:20 |
| rdohms | i have a inteprid install that for some reason cannot connect fo HTTPS svn repos, only to HTTP ... any ideas? | 15:20 |
| n8tuserf | aleix -> not many of us would remember what each and every module does, doesnt the web page you downloaded it from has description and how to use it? | 15:21 |
| arvind_khadri | RenatoSilva, ya sure,... ask #bash :) | 15:21 |
| aleix | I'm having a terrible time finding documentation on this modules (nf_conntrack_*, nf_nat_*) | 15:21 |
| saurabh | i want to dual boot ubuntu with windows vista(vista first).........using a pen drive[as becoz the cd drive is not working ]......can anyone tell me the complete set of procedures | 15:21 |
| nanotube | saurabh: there's some stuff on the wiki about creating a 'liveusb'. | 15:22 |
| n8tuserf | aleix -> then dont use a module that you are not familiar with, it would be darn difficult to troubleshoot, but it also has options so maybe you can get the gist from it? | 15:22 |
| nanotube | !liveusb | 15:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about liveusb | 15:22 |
| ScarySquirrel | arvind_khadri: I will try a full installation of Ubuntu 8.10, and, failing that, two different Live CDs that implement Ubuntu 8.10. Otherwise, it's back to 7.10 for me. Thanks for being patient. Wish me luck. | 15:22 |
| saurabh | let me see | 15:22 |
| nanotube | saurabh: so just find it and read that. :) | 15:22 |

| saurabh | thanx | 15:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | saurabh Please hold down the repeats, every few minutes is plenty often enough.. and if you are asking us how to setup your pen drive as a dual boot with vista.. All on the same pen drive? | 15:23 |
| arvind_khadri | ScarySquirrel, lots of luck... | 15:23 |
| n8tuserf | saurabh -> bootin a vista from a usb, you may have to google for a how to on that, | 15:23 |
| TerminHell1 | ScarySquirrel: be sure when your burning livCD's that you use your burners SLOWEST burn speed to insure data integrity | 15:23 |
| saurabh | no vista is already installed....i just want it to dual boot using pendrive | 15:23 |
| aleix | yes, i know that would be the way to work... the thing is i've just upgraded to a new kernel and this modules have changed. I've been using the "old versions" for two years now without problems. I was just trying to find if something had changed... :( | 15:23 |
| saurabh | ubuntu using pen drive | 15:24 |
| n8tuserf | saurabh -> ahh, then you can use netbootin also to install the linux part | 15:24 |
| n8tuserf | !install | saurabh | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | aleix Which kernel | 15:24 |
| ubottu | saurabh: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate | 15:24 |

| tuxflavrdwafls | Hi! I have an integrated web cam on my acer aspire lap top, and it doesnt seem to be recognized by anything. any ideas? | 15:24 |
| aleix | 2.6.24 on an Ubuntu Server 8.10 | 15:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ty | 15:25 |
| aleix | sorry 8.04 LTS (same kernel) | 15:25 |
| rdohms | i have a inteprid install that for some reason cannot connect fo HTTPS svn repos, only to HTTP ... any ideas? | 15:25 |
| nanotube | saurabh: also see this for an alternative: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows | 15:26 |
| arvind_khadri | Jack_Sparrow, how is it that he has a old kernel on 8.04 ? | 15:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nanotube Ugh, I hate seeing people use wubi | 15:26 |
| TheClam | Hi, all - since I upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid (amongst many, many other things) my DVD drive is no longer detected. If I reboot and select an older kernel, it works fine. It's SATA if that makes any odds. Any ideas? | 15:26 |
| n8tuserf | aleix -> if possible, there may be an equivalent iptables rules to accomplish that, try to figure out what that module accomplishes and maybe you can be able to create a rule to do same functionality | 15:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | arvind_khadri No idea why he is on that kernel | 15:26 |
| aleix | ok, i'll see what i can do... | 15:26 |
| aleix | thanks | 15:27 |
| breeze | older kernel can wort better | 15:27 |
| nanotube | Jack_Sparrow: it's not just about wubi :) | 15:27 |
| arvind_khadri | Jack_Sparrow, ok :) if i upgrade say from gutsy to hardy my kernel tree should autmatically change? | 15:27 |

| godzirra | Okay... I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my new lapptop... and everytime I get a long string of errors when it starts installing then it starts spamming: "VFS: busy inodes on changed media." | 15:27 |
| godzirra | I've redownloaded the cd like 3 times and checked the md5sums etc. | 15:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nanotube Ugh, I hate seeing people install ubuntu under windows (even in a vm) | 15:28 |
| guilhermeblanco | I'm having troubles with an ubuntu instance of EC2... I cannot svn co over https... do you have any ideas what can it be? | 15:28 |
| n8tuserf | godzirra -> does it even allow you to boot into livecd? before even doing an install | 15:28 |
| nanotube | Jack_Sparrow: heh | 15:28 |
| godzirra | The first error when it crashes is "SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0x56465" | 15:28 |
| godzirra | n8tuserf: yeah, and it seems to work fine | 15:28 |
| genii | Bad CD | 15:28 |
| godzirra | It doesn't crash until I start installing. | 15:28 |
| godzirra | genii: 3 burns of bad cds? :p | 15:29 |
| IdleOne | godzirra, try hitting F6 and enterring all_generi_ide at the end of the line. see if that helps you. also try the Alternate Install cd. | 15:29 |
| n8tuserf | godzirra -> its possible | 15:29 |
| IdleOne | godzirra, try hitting F6 and enterring all_generic_ide at the end of the line. see if that helps you. also try the Alternate Install cd. | 15:29 |
| genii | godzirra: "sb_bread failed reading.." | 15:29 |
| IdleOne | godzirra, slow burn is better also. prevents errors | 15:29 |
| godzirra | Bleh. Okay. | 15:29 |
| jxander | i am trying to install the kubuntu-desktop package but i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/120624/ . please advice | 15:29 |
| godzirra | genii: I'm worried if that the cd or my hard drive. | 15:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | godzirra At start or install screen, press F6 and remove splash and quiet, if that does not work do it again but now also add noapic acpi=off before the -- on the command line | 15:30 |
| IdleOne | godzirra, slowest speed you can | 15:30 |
| godzirra | So add noapic acpi=off all_generic_ide | 15:30 |
| IdleOne | that should help you some yes | 15:30 |
| speedmaster | godzirra: is it a wubi install? | 15:30 |
| godzirra | k | 15:30 |
| n8tuserf | godzirra -> i dont know if it just mine, cdrom/dvdroms do warm up, i think the laser overheat after several usage, so let it cool down a few mins, and try again? | 15:31 |
| RenatoSilva | arvind_khadri: I don't have bash_profile :S | 15:31 |
| godzirra | speedmaster: uh, I don't think so? | 15:31 |
| TheClam | alright, no ideas on the DVD not being detected... anyone know why SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) is no longer working since upgrade to Intrepid? | 15:31 |
| RenatoSilva | :s | 15:31 |
| godzirra | n8tuserf: I let it cooldown all night and just tried it this morning with the same problem. :) | 15:31 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:38 |

| dwhsix1 | might be better to ask this elsewhere, but any thoughts why "ping -ttl <somenumber>" always fails with "connect: Invalid argument"? | 15:40 |
| Frantic | I just erased my swap partition and recreated it (to resize), now I need the new UUID to put it in fstab, how do I find the new UUID. (don't say /dev/disks/by-uuid, only my ext4 partition shows there for some reason) | 15:40 |
| godzirra | Okay, running the installer now I just got "Timezone failed with exit code 126. Further information may be found in /var/log/syslog. Do you want to try running this step again before continuing?" | 15:40 |
| godzirra | So maybe it is a bad cd. | 15:40 |
| godzirra | I'll try again with the one I burn at 4x. | 15:40 |
| Dimensions | arvind_khadri: so what does that mean ? | 15:40 |
| guntbert | dwhsix1: what are you trying to accomplish? | 15:40 |
| n8tuserf | godzirra -> try the 1x | 15:41 |
| arvind_khadri | arvind_khadri, that you will need need to install it using the package its being refered by...what do you want basically? | 15:41 |
| godzirra | n8tuserf: Well, I'm already burning at 4x so we'll try that one next. ;) | 15:41 |
| dwhsix1 | guntbert: see if I can get more info about a networking problem by not having packets go the whole route | 15:41 |
| dwhsix1 | we're trying to investigate issue where ping w/ packetsize < n work, but packetsize > n all fail | 15:42 |
| whacked | why do i always get indirect answers here | 15:42 |
| dwhsix1 | (and net perf also sucks for other activity) | 15:42 |
| Dimensions | arvind_khadri: i would like to install apache ssl ... i have apache2 on my server but apparently apache2-ssl-certficate was not install so can't generate certificate | 15:42 |
| guntbert | dwhsix1: there is always traceroute, but you might want ping -t 1 <IP> | 15:42 |
| arvind_khadri | !find apache2-ssl | 15:43 |
| ubottu | Package/file apache2-ssl does not exist in intrepid | 15:43 |

| dwhsix1 | weird | 15:43 |

| ubottu | File apache-ssl found in cruft, darcsweb, doc-linux-hr, w3c-markup-validator | 15:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | godzirra To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F4 and select safe graphics mode then press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 15:43 |
| godzirra | Live CD runs just fine | 15:44 |
| godzirra | Its just when I try to install that it goes badly. | 15:44 |
| guntbert | dwhsix1: you must put a number after -t ! | 15:44 |

| Huufarted | erUSUL: I got it mounted. It took some work, but I found the issue. The mounting directory HAS to be created. when you mount it through GNOME (and KDE I'd assume), it automatically does this and then removes it afterwards. Adding an entry into fstab requires the empty directory already exist. | 15:44 |

Hardware (on-board sound [NVidia CK804 - IEC958) is properly detected, all modules are there, pulseaudio running, ALSA doing fine and all applications "play" audiofiles without complaining - but the speakers don't produce anything. Booting Windows on the same machine produces sound. Any ideas? | 16:11 |

| kamyk | quibbler: and then what ? | 16:12 |
| patrickas | and got | 16:12 |

| speedmaster | patrickas: ok good, well grub is installed | 16:14 |
| blackjak__ | guys how do I remove completely a driver/module from ubuntu | 16:14 |
| Pici | blackjak__: Use rmmod to remove a module one-time user. Put the module name in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist so it wont probe at every boot. | 16:14 |
| speedmaster | patrickas: try sudo grub-install /dev/hda | 16:15 |
| Pici | ScislaC: mount -o loop /path/to/image.file | 16:15 |
| patrickas | speedmaster: I got the feeling it is installed in the wrong place | 16:15 |
| blackjak__ | what about if I install a new one and it sah the same name like other module | 16:15 |
| patrickas | speedmaster: why /dev/hda ? | 16:15 |
| genii | Pici: modprobe -r is more useful than rmmod since it removes also any other sub-dependent modules, etc | 16:15 |
| speedmaster | patrickas: me too | 16:15 |
| Pici | genii: I see, thanks for the tip. | 16:15 |
| speedmaster | patrickas: because i am assuming yo uwant to put grub into the mbr of your first disk | 16:16 |

| ActionParsnip1 | blackjak__: if you need one of the modules from a package you have to blacklist | 16:29 |
| quibbler | kamyk: we can try something else | 16:29 |
| nanotube | freegoo: np. have fun :) | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | blackjak__: or you can use a startup script to run that command when you logon | 16:29 |
| patrickas | ActionParsnip1: Yes I know ... I will read and follow it, I just objected because I assumed that the guide will help me reinstall grub in the same location it was originally installed in, which never worked in the first place. | 16:29 |
| nanotube | freegoo: there are also gui tools that help, if you are into that kind of stuff :) i think firestarter is reputed to be decent at it. | 16:29 |
| Iceman_B^unix | is there a command to scan the entire subnet and see what machines are present? | 16:30 |
| Iceman_B^unix | like am ARP ping or something | 16:30 |
| patrickas | But I am not going to be bone headed about it ... I will try it anyways , maybe it will work | 16:30 |
| kamyk | quibbler: ok | 16:30 |
| oskar- | Iceman_B^unix: nmap | 16:30 |
| NFischer | Iceman_B^unix, nmap -sP 192.168.*.* | 16:30 |
| Iceman_B^unix | tnx NFischer, I'll give that a shot | 16:31 |

| quibbler | kamyk: do firefox out...open nautilus and make sure you can see hidden files and directories. go to ~/.mozilla/firefoz/(yourprofile).default/ and delete localstore.rdf | 16:32 |
| patrickas | ActionParsnip1: in the guide it says : grub> root (hdX,Y) which is (hd1,5) in my case | 16:32 |
| NFischer | Iceman_B^unix, the problem with this is, that the machines could theoretically block the ping request.. but for normal usage this should work | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | patrickas: disk numbers start at 0 | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | patrickas: not 1 | 16:33 |
| arvind_khadri | ActionParsnip1, thats from sidney sheldon :P | 16:33 |
| Iceman_B^unix | NFischer: n/p, I'll just see what I end up With | 16:33 |
| quibbler | kamyk: now open firefox and try youtube | 16:33 |
| oo-dragon | *jab* *jab* | 16:33 |
| patrickas | ActionParsnip1: THis time I did not assume anything :-) I ran find /boot/grub/stage1 and it gave me (hd1,5) | 16:33 |
| kamyk | quibbler: this same ;/ | 16:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | patrickas: fair enough | 16:33 |
| patrickas | or am I so thick I cannot follow the guide :-( | 16:33 |
| kamyk | quibbler: wheit | 16:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | patrickas: no if thats what the guide says i'd agree | 16:34 |
| patrickas | but the next step says : grub> setup (hd0) and not hdX so my question is should I put hd0 regardless of the output of the previous command ? | 16:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | patrickas: try http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 16:34 |

| SuperGuy_9000 | When I logged into Ubuntu, the top and panels don't show up. I can open programs fine with Gnome Do (which is how I got on here), but if I minimize the windows there's no way to get them back. | 16:46 |

| Iceman_B^unix | oh final question, does anyone know if the alternat install cd starts an SSHD during the install phase? | 16:48 |
| Iceman_B^unix | if so, I could supervise the install remotely.... | 16:48 |
| moofhahn | hoi | 16:48 |

| SuperGuy_9000 | I just get the option to copy the text when I typed gnome-panel. | 16:48 |
| Seveas | Iceman_B^unix, by default it does not. I believe you can do anna-install openssh-server-udeb and run it then, but I'm not entirelt sure. | 16:48 |
| The_Rebel | has anyone got shadowing withing with freenx? | 16:49 |

| moofhahn | what is freenx? | 16:49 |
| Seveas | NFischer, it is, look in /. There's /opt :) | 16:49 |

| patrickas | arvind_khadri: so I tried with hd1 and it booted into GRUB ... but windows stopped working | 17:07 |
| arvind_khadri | patrickas, remove the map lines... i dont think they are needed... | 17:07 |
| aata | stevemac76 how do i enter failsafe mode. and more importantly how do i adjust drivers | 17:07 |
| Besogon | Seveas, Do lynx work in command line? | 17:07 |
| patrickas | arvind_khadri: They were added by the installed ... I will comment them out and reboot | 17:07 |
| Seveas | Besogon, yes | 17:07 |
| arvind_khadri | Besogon, its for cli :P | 17:07 |
| kevin_405 | Seveas, do u know if ubuntu upgrade saves old menu.lst | 17:07 |
| patrickas | or should I run grub again ? | 17:07 |
| patrickas | after I remove the map lines ? | 17:08 |
| stevemac76 | aata when your restart, you get a very short time to enter the grub menu so be on the lookout. I think it's f1 that gets you there. | 17:08 |
| Seveas | kevin_405, not sure. *if* it backs the file up, the backup also lives in /etc/apt | 17:08 |
| arvind_khadri | patrickas, just comment them out... install grub once again to be safe :) | 17:08 |
| stevemac76 | aata after that you have a few options for booting. | 17:08 |
| aata | ok | 17:08 |
| aata | and then? | 17:09 |
| Besogon | nice. But what is really fine browser FOR X in Linux? | 17:09 |
| Seveas | Besogon, firefox is still the default browser. Apart from its sluggishness it's decent. | 17:09 |

| kevin_405 | Seveas, thx | 17:09 |
| stevemac76 | aata after booting into failsafe you can change to vesa drivers | 17:09 |
| patrickas | arvind_khadri: so I remove the lines, then "sudo grub" then "root (hd1,5)" then "setup (hd1)" ? | 17:09 |
| aata | stevemac76 how do i change to vesa? | 17:10 |
| arvind_khadri | patrickas, ya ... sounds good.. | 17:10 |

| aata | let me know if you find anything :D | 17:11 |
| mikebeecham | hi guys...I have a strange one here. I connect a windows and a linux box up to some of these home ethernet plugs. If I dont have linux plugged in I get a throughput speed across my network of around 54 -74mbps. If I plug my linux machine back into the network then it goes down to around 10mbps | 17:11 |

| shifty5 | patrickas, have you checked fstab to see if its being mounted with the ntfs option | 17:44 |
| mfdavid | hi all. I want to host my own webpage. The apache is working fine, and right now im using no-ip.com to redirect to my server. But I would like to have my own .com webpage... But how can I make the server to connect to my computer? Im about to register a domain but it askes me for a DNS server. Can I be my own DNS server?! | 17:44 |
| arvind_khadri | patrickas, np... maybe google about SFS | 17:44 |
| whacked | you have to purchase a .com | 17:45 |
| mlissner | mfdavid, your best bet is to use somebody else as a DNS server. | 17:45 |
| n2diy | mlissner: yes, upgrade to an LTS version, and that will let you jump to the next LTS version. | 17:45 |
| unop | patrickas, fdisk does not read the filesystem type .. all it does is list the partition type -- which are two different things .. in your case there is a discrepancy between the two (and that's not unusual) | 17:45 |
| mfdavid | mlissner: i dont think there is a easy way yo do so (roll back) | 17:45 |
| mlissner | hmmm...maybe I didn't explain quite right. | 17:45 |
| unop | n2diy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid | 17:45 |
| mlissner | The version in the repos is too old. I want a newer version of a certain piece of software. | 17:46 |
| n2diy | unop: thanks | 17:46 |
| mlissner | I have it installed via the repos already, so should I uninstall that, and then install from source? | 17:46 |
| mlissner | Or leave the one from the repos installed? | 17:46 |
| mfdavid | mlissner: or you could try and find a .deb on someother place. | 17:46 |
| mlissner | No dice. | 17:46 |
| archman | mlissner: sure uninstall it | 17:46 |
| mlissner | I'm just trying to figure out the standard practice so conflicts aren't an issue. | 17:47 |
| mfdavid | mlissner: yeah you will have to uninstall it, but you may get in trouble in future upgrades and stuff... why you want to do that? | 17:47 |
| theunixgeek | I followed all the community instructions for installing Google Earth, installed it and reinstalled it independently various times, but every time Google Earth 5 loads up its screen shows for a second or two, then quits. What should I do to fix this? | 17:47 |
| mlissner | the version in the repos doesn't work properly, and supposedly it's fixed in the latest source. | 17:47 |
| mfdavid | theunixgeek: are you running it from the console? if not, try it and see if it shows any errors. | 17:48 |
| shifty5 | theunixgeek, did you try and run from console? | 17:48 |
| mlissner | theunixgeek, this is a known problem. I don't recall the solution, but check ubuntuforums.org I found it there right off the bat. | 17:48 |
| archman | mlissner: simply build from source, and when the newer version releases, you uninstall yours and build newer again ;) | 17:48 |
| theunixgeek | it says "unable to create prefs directory", shifty5 and mfdavid | 17:48 |
| theunixgeek | mlissner: I'll search there | 17:48 |
| mlissner | OK. I can do that. Generally, is it better to purge the one from repos, or to just uninstall it? | 17:48 |
| shifty5 | theunixgeek try running as root and see if the error goes away | 17:49 |
| archman | mlissner: i'm not sure of that one, i'll go just uninstalling | 17:49 |
| whacked | can someone tell me which option enable the ability to use the middle wheel to switch desktops, i have installed compiz manager but for the life of me i cant seem to get it enabled ? | 17:49 |
| mlissner | Sounds good. I'll do that, I guess. | 17:49 |
| shifty5 | whacked you have to enable the cube | 17:49 |
| shifty5 | and then enable the animations | 17:49 |
| whacked | ok confusing this is | 17:49 |
| whacked | imagine enable cube to other features | 17:50 |
| whacked | still no sucess | 17:51 |
| shifty5 | whacked are you sure your compiz is working? | 17:51 |
| theunixgeek | shifty5: still no | 17:51 |
| theunixgeek | *nothing | 17:51 |
| shifty5 | theunixgeek, did the error change? | 17:51 |
| whacked | does not appear to be | 17:51 |

| whacked | even i checking off the options mentioned | 17:52 |

| tuxflavrdwafls | Hi again! I have found that my crystal eye webcam works through ekiga. It does not work in skype. and cheese crashes my system when I open it. any suggestions? thanks | 17:53 |
| whacked | i might get the hang of linux yet | 17:53 |
| tuxflavrdwafls | btw, i am using 8.04 | 17:53 |
| shifty5 | tuxflavrdwafls, try running from a console and see if there are errors | 17:53 |
| whacked | i love the way firefox loads in 3 seconds | 17:53 |
| f_newton | excuse me... are they any cli tools I can use in init 3 to reconfig my display ? | 17:54 |
| shifty5 | i hate the way it uses like 80mb of ram hehe | 17:54 |
| tuxflavrdwafls | shifty5 i do not know the command | 17:54 |
| f_newton | I hear xorg.conf is no longer the thing | 17:54 |
| unop | f_newton, you can still use the xorg.conf | 17:54 |
| shifty5 | i he does xorg will just overwrite his settings when he configures in the gui | 17:54 |
| unop | f_newton, you could use xrandr(1) but that requires a connected display | 17:55 |
| f_newton | well I cant get past the fact that new xorg has to be edited to make my display work yet I have no clue as to ubuntu's cli tools | 17:55 |
| unop | shifty5, that's not true .. you need root permissions to overwrite xorg.conf | 17:55 |
| f_newton | is xrandr what is used now? | 17:55 |
| mikebeecham | hi guys...how can I tell what drivers are being used for my network card? | 17:56 |
| mikebeecham | is there a terminal command I can use? | 17:56 |
| unop | f_newton, a GUI front end to xrandr seems to be what is used to configure the display -- but that's a per-user setting .. if you want to configure a global setting, you can still use the xorg.conf | 17:56 |
| whacked | the funnest thing i found so far when you goto terminal and type top my Pc show very low cpu usage, and then i go load system monitor it show high cpu usage, strange bug i guess | 17:56 |
| majeru | hello, is there a way to make suspend occur when some programs are running? (synaptic or vlc are blocking suspend) | 17:56 |
| lupus_ | whats the easiest way to install virtualbox? having way too much trouble. | 17:56 |
| Huufarted | mikebeecham: | 17:56 |
| Huufarted | mikebeecham: I'd like to know that as well | 17:56 |
| majeru | lupus_: use their repo | 17:56 |
| Huufarted | sorry for that blank sentence | 17:56 |
| f_newton | unop not unless I can get the gui to start | 17:56 |
| shifty5 | whacked, from what i can tell the sysmonitor uses lots of resources | 17:56 |
| shifty5 | even though it reads from tops | 17:57 |
| majeru | the one in multiverse is quite outdated (like many other packages) | 17:57 |
| f_newton | I need some cli tools to use in init 3 | 17:57 |
| unop | lupus_, sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose | 17:57 |
| f_newton | not familiar with ubuntu only used deb back in the day | 17:57 |
| unop | f_newton, why can't you just create a xorg.conf ? | 17:57 |
| f_newton | write one from scratch? | 17:57 |
| tuxflavrdwafls | shifty5 what did you want me to run in the terminal? and what is the command? | 17:57 |
| theunixgeek | mlissner, mfdavid, shifty5: I got it working by deleting the libcrypto file :D | 17:57 |
| shifty5 | tux, its prolly just "skype" | 17:57 |
| theunixgeek | thanks for your helps | 17:57 |
| theunixgeek | *help | 17:58 |
| unop | f_newton, well, that's one way .. there are others. like X -config ( i think ) | 17:58 |
| f_newton | ive tried the old unix tools such as "setup" no worky | 17:58 |
| f_newton | is it x -config? | 17:58 |
| f_newton | or is it x --reconfig? | 17:58 |
| lupus_ | unop- Ive tried that and still no dice | 17:58 |
| unop | f_newton, xorg -configure | 17:58 |
| mlissner | theunixgeek, that sounds about right. | 17:58 |
| signpost | can anyone direct me to a mail transfer agent set-up tutorial for 8.10? I'm trying to set up email notifications from Nagios 3, which uses the "mail" command to send mail. | 17:58 |
| shifty5 | hey f_newton, if you read the xorg.conf it will tell yo uthe command to set it back to defaults and x should start | 17:59 |
| f_newton | I wish there was a place I could visit that would let me peruse the cli comands for ubuntu | 17:59 |
| f_newton | shifty5, not with my ati card and this old lcd | 17:59 |
| f_newton | out of range or mode not supported | 17:59 |
| shifty5 | ahh | 17:59 |
| f_newton | I need to manually edit the darn thing | 17:59 |
| unop | f_newton, have you edited it before? | 17:59 |
| shifty5 | so you go into, etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:00 |
| f_newton | but could not figure out for the life of me how to get in to it with ubuntu | 18:00 |
| f_newton | unop if this was redhat no problem | 18:00 |
| shifty5 | then you edit the vertical and horizontal timing | 18:00 |
| f_newton | right | 18:00 |
| cosmosy | is the xfce version in #xubuntu or #xuntu | 18:00 |
| unop | f_newton, you could just move the xorg.conf out of the way and let xorg choose the defaults | 18:00 |
| f_newton | ok I am writing this down... | 18:00 |

| shifty5 | tux, did you watch the console and look for error messages? | 18:04 |
| tuxflavrdwafls | yes, nothing happened | 18:04 |
| shifty5 | tux, try "sudo skype" that will run it as root and see if it crashes | 18:05 |
| shifty5 | only do that for testing | 18:05 |
| tuxflavrdwafls | it opens it fine, now ill test video | 18:05 |

| el_ninoo | erUSUL it cant connect to the server i think. i have also tried the sudo apt-get install amarok | 18:10 |
| shifty5 | tux, you have to make sure the device was detected and the module was loaded | 18:10 |
| godzirra | erUSUL: How do I check it? I've md5summed the downloaded iso and its good. | 18:10 |
| shifty5 | el_ninoo, have you tried in the synaptic package manager? | 18:11 |
| erUSUL | godzirra: there is an option to check the burned disk when you boot into it | 18:11 |
| el_ninoo | shifty5 yes | 18:11 |
| shifty5 | did it list the dependencies and isntall them? | 18:11 |
| tuxflavrdwafls | shifty5 i believe it is dev0 and the uvc mod is loaded. i read something about vl42 . i think that is what works for me and vlc does not? | 18:11 |
| erUSUL | el_ninoo: maybe youre mirrors are down. change mirrors or wait | 18:11 |

| godzirra | erUSUL: Yeah, it crashed saying "SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block <something>" | 18:16 |
| shifty5 | tux, google your webcam and see if thats the device | 18:17 |
| recon69 | cbilljones: you should have a look at preferences in volume control , cause it dont show you them all by default. I take it sound is working? | 18:17 |
| erUSUL | godzirra: well as i said squashfs errors may be due to a corrupt cd-r or bad burned disk | 18:17 |
| unop | nibblyn, you'll need to populate the xorg.conf | 18:17 |
| cbilljones | recon69, ya everything else works, i have already added the stuff i need from pref(mic, mic boost) | 18:17 |
| godzirra | erUSUL: but not a hard drive problem? | 18:18 |
| erUSUL | godzirra: no; the squhashfs is used and lives in the livecd | 18:19 |
| recon69 | god, my system just gone unstable as hell in the last week. | 18:19 |

| recon69 | mlissner: you may need source packages for the viewer as well. but not sure if it's required | 18:28 |
| godzirra | erUSUL: Any other ideas? | 18:29 |
| cbilljones | recon69, i see my card on pci3, but doesnt say anything about mic | 18:29 |
| mlissner | The install is for tracker, so it's about indexing pdf, not viewing. | 18:29 |
| mlissner | I'm trying to compile in the ability to index them, and pictures, and a few other things. | 18:29 |
| recon69 | mlissner: also, the program may not need a PDF viewer to work, does configure actually give an error | 18:29 |

| Coded1 | I would like to set up user monitoring on my box to keep an eye on my kids, screen shots and keylogger does anyone have a recommendation? | 18:33 |
| vasyl | cbilljones: that bug is the only thing preventing me from upgrading to 8.10 ... I wonder if I should wait more or its not as bad as them disapearing, do you mean they decome darker like when out of focus? | 18:33 |
| recon69 | cbilljones: well, have never had problems with mic myself, so can only suggest you check forum for you sound card for more info, and keep asking here | 18:33 |
| whacked | why is everything i do on ubuntu take a year to solve issues | 18:33 |
| shifty5 | whacked, did you go to "hardware drivers" and install the restricted? | 18:33 |
| f_newton | hmmm I guess gone are the days when I can fix an install by the cli or init 3, if you'd rather.... in a debian environment | 18:33 |
| whacked | did you even read what i typed | 18:33 |
| shifty5 | yes but i was asking where you installed from | 18:34 |
| f_newton | I was able to fix it at least for now but booting in to a generic recovery kernel and hand writing a config | 18:34 |
| shifty5 | you could have used the package manager, or console | 18:34 |
| cbilljones | recon69, ok ill keep playing/searching | 18:34 |
| whacked | from lanching hardware driver and installing the suggested driver just like a did last time | 18:34 |

| f_newton | Im still afraid to reboot lol | 18:37 |
| whacked | i have nvidia driver working before driver version 177, i just formatted PC and reinstalled the 177 driver the exact same way i did last time, but know they will not function | 18:37 |
| shifty5 | whacked, the only time that didn't work for me is when it couldn't get to the repositories | 18:37 |
| deasy | could anyone tell me the permissions of their ~/.dbus directory please? | 18:37 |
| whacked | it downloaded and installed but fails to load | 18:37 |
| shifty5 | did you try from console? | 18:37 |
| shifty5 | i don't know what the command is though if anyone does.. | 18:38 |
| shifty5 | i have ati | 18:38 |
| fosco__ | deasy, drwx------ | 18:38 |
| deasy | thanks fosco__ | 18:38 |
| whacked | no from the system/administration/hardware driver, then unbuntu searched for best driver | 18:38 |
| whacked | same way i did it last time before formatting pc | 18:39 |
| whacked | and before it workd | 18:39 |
| shifty5 | whacked, if you try to run from console it should show an error message | 18:39 |
| Orgazmo | deasy: d700 | 18:39 |
| ZummiG777 | Question: There is no /etc/modules.d in Ubuntu, is there a specific way in Ubuntu to achieve the same functionality ? | 18:39 |
| deasy | fosco__, and inside that (ls -l .dbus) are they all 644? | 18:39 |
| whacked | only thing i did different this time was install compiz manager first | 18:40 |
| fosco__ | deasy, inside: drwx------ | 18:40 |
| fosco__ | same | 18:40 |
| Pici | ZummiG777: Theres /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/ | 18:40 |
| whacked | maybe cmpiz is corrupting the installing of nvidia 177 driver | 18:40 |
| shifty5 | whacked did you try disabling compiz? | 18:40 |
| whacked | i really dont know | 18:40 |
| whacked | how too | 18:40 |
| recon69 | ZummiG777: you can also blacklist modules | 18:40 |
| whacked | ok uninstalling | 18:40 |
| whacked | this only a guess | 18:40 |
| deasy | fosco__, wrx the session-bus one then the files all 644? | 18:41 |
| whacked | gees dont just go with my hunch as a solution now ok | 18:41 |
| fosco__ | whacked, metacity --replace will disable compiz for the current session | 18:41 |
| shifty5 | it could be using the ati free drivers and erroring the restricted install | 18:41 |
| shifty5 | err, nvidia | 18:41 |
| shifty5 | sorry | 18:41 |
| ZummiG777 | Pici: So, if I simply put a file in modprobe.d with the list of modules I would like loaded it would correctly load at boot time? | 18:41 |
| Pici | ZummiG777: Just modify /etc/modules if you need to specify more modules to load at boot. | 18:43 |
| whacked | i am installing compiz | 18:43 |
| whacked | uninstalling i meant | 18:43 |
| ZummiG777 | OK | 18:43 |

| nanotube | ubuntu___: use sudo. | 19:12 |
| fahadsadah | nickrud: It's a lot easier to set up than a Ubuntu server, but a Ubuntu server can be set up and forgotten about. Windows servers need constant attention. | 19:12 |
| ubuntu___ | what do u mean by using sudo? | 19:12 |
| nanotube | ubuntu___: sudo airodump-ng wlan0 | 19:12 |
| kronix | Windows Server OSes are easier to administer if, like most people, you have experience with Windows workstation OSes. | 19:12 |
| fahadsadah | ubuntu___: Type 'sudo -i' before entering any of the commands. | 19:12 |
| IdleOne | ubuntu___, append sudo to that command | 19:13 |
| ubuntu___ | i have to do that b4 every comman? | 19:13 |
| nickrud | fahadsadah, that's why I made a point of saying 'run' ;) | 19:13 |
| kronix | Are we helping a wannabe hacker hack a wireless network? | 19:13 |
| IdleOne | ubuntu___, not all commands but that one yes | 19:13 |
| nanotube | !sudo |ubuntu___ | 19:13 |
| ubottu | ubuntu___: 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) | 19:13 |
| ubuntu___ | i will try | 19:13 |
| fahadsadah | ubuntu___: Put sudo before every command, or sudo -i, and then run them all normally. | 19:13 |
| burkmat | kronix, Not sure, just got here but that's what it looks like... | 19:13 |
| Geek`N`Proud | kronix: till you run dcomcnfg pagefault and realise that SCW broke it ;-) | 19:13 |
| Daft_Punk | why sudo -i, what is that for | 19:13 |
| nanotube | ubuntu___: read those sudo docs | 19:13 |
| fahadsadah | Daft_Punk: That makes you root. | 19:13 |
| nanotube | Daft_Punk: if you want to enter an interactive root shell | 19:14 |
| Daft_Punk | oh so perm root? | 19:14 |
| fahadsadah | ubuntu___: Why do you want access to the wireless network. | 19:14 |
| Daft_Punk | oh ok | 19:14 |
| nanotube | Daft_Punk: in order to do multiple commands, rather than just one | 19:14 |
| fahadsadah | Daft_Punk: Till you close the terminal | 19:14 |
| IdleOne | Daft_Punk, makes you root but can be dangerous if you don't know what your doing | 19:14 |
| KDB9000 | how do I check my swap size from the terminal? | 19:14 |
| nickrud | Daft_Punk, gives you a root terminal so you don't have to use sudo for each command. type exit to return to normal user level | 19:14 |
| whacked | ok well it's annoying know that i have the same hardware on my PC that i did a month ago, and had nvidia 177 driver functioning properly, and today i just reinstalled same copy of ubuntu and go install the same nvidia 177 driver in the same matter as last time, but of course it will not work this time | 19:14 |

| Daft_Punk | !pastebin | ubuntu___ | 19:15 |
| ubottu | ubuntu___: 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) | 19:15 |
| nanotube | ubuntu___: use the pastebin to paste stuff that's more than one line | 19:15 |
| archwild | ubuntu___, it looks like your wireless card isn't in raw mode and/or your drivers don't support packet injection | 19:15 |
| IdleOne | ubuntu___, don't paste a bunch of text like that please use the pastebin | 19:15 |

| godzirra | Guess I know where the problem lies. | 19:16 |
| Clinteger | i have ubuntu running on my laptop, which stays on all the time.. so I wanted it to have it connect to my wireless network automatically on startup | 19:16 |
| IdleOne | godzirra, sorry to hear that but yeah now you know | 19:16 |

| Clinteger | i have ubuntu running on my laptop, which stays on all the time.. so I wanted it to have it connect to my wireless network automatically on startup. I made eth1 auto in /etc/network/interfaces, so I can ssh to the machine on startup but there's no internet connectivity. What does the GUI wireless config thing do differently? :( | 19:17 |
| ubuntu___ | hello | 19:17 |
| IdleOne | godzirra, don't mention you tried installing linux. some stores will try and blame it on that and not exchange or refund just say it doesn't work and that is it | 19:17 |
| fahadsadah | ubuntu___: Hi. | 19:17 |
| shifty5 | i have a theory, about these cdroms, i think they are designed to be used in windows so the have trouble reading and writing linux cd images | 19:17 |
| shifty5 | and the cdrom is not necisarrly bad, some just handle it better | 19:18 |
| nickrud | Clinteger, if you use /etc/network/interfaces , the gui doesn't touch the defined interfaces at all. | 19:18 |
| fahadsadah | shifty5: No, all media is generic. | 19:18 |
| shifty5 | yes but the firmware on the cdrom isn't | 19:18 |
| burkmat | shifty5, That's quite the odd theory. :P having a hard time picturing a cd-drive analyzing the data... | 19:18 |
| Clinteger | nickrud, I know that. I'm trying to make /etc/network/interfaces connect automatically, without having to use the gui. I want this computer to run headless, soo :p | 19:18 |
| shifty5 | which handles how the data is written | 19:18 |
| Clinteger | nickrud, it connects to my LAN fine, so this other computer i'm using right now can ssh to it immediately :S | 19:19 |
| nickrud | Clinteger, I set this up once, I used /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian.gz as a guide; I also used some of the other docs in that dir | 19:20 |
| recon69 | godzirra: did you change anything? odd that it would just stop working like that | 19:20 |
| shifty5 | also, have you ever noticed that when you burn cd's at fast speeds some players won't read them... | 19:20 |
| n2diy | ok, the new box got a clean bill of health from chkrootkit, now I want to play, I've enabled Remote Desktop on both boxes, but I've forgotten the syntax to connect? | 19:20 |
| Clinteger | nickrud, but I'm using it with an unprotected wireless networkk. | 19:20 |
| NativeAngels | is there a way of getting msn to work with ubuntu | 19:21 |
| burkmat | Clinteger, Doesn't Network Manager handle auto-connecting per default? | 19:21 |
| NativeAngels | desktop | 19:21 |
| burkmat | NativeAngels, Check out Pidgin. | 19:21 |
| TheDracle | I'm using the Xfixes extension to pull information about the currently displayed cursor. When using a GNOME session in Ubuntu- it reports the width/height of the cursor being 1x1. | 19:21 |

| NativeAngels | so msn messnger wont work with ubuntu desktop | 19:22 |
| nickrud | Clinteger, ah. I also read man wireless , has some instructions along those lines iirc | 19:22 |

| hbit | Hello folks: how can I connect a pc to my laptop via crossover cable for maintenance and keep on browsing Internet wit my wifi? (different IP networks) | 19:26 |
| burkmat | bryguy_, It's detected but doesn't show up in the network manager? | 19:26 |
| bryguy_ | by detected i mean it shows up when I run iwconfig | 19:27 |
| bryguy_ | it shows up as eth1 | 19:27 |
| burkmat | hbit, If you want to get your traffic out through a specific device you can always set the routes manually. | 19:27 |
| bryguy_ | to do the install I had a pcmcia ethernet card installed, which was presumably eth0 | 19:27 |
| bryguy_ | when I look in the network connections window from the network manager applet, there's no card listed. | 19:27 |
| burkmat | bryguy_, ...huh, well I've never come across the issue that it shows up in iwconfig but not nm-applet... I'll check around, but right now I have no idea what might cause that. | 19:27 |
| bryguy_ | in fedora I would have run system-config-network to let NM manage it | 19:28 |
| bryguy_ | is there an equivalent ubuntu command? or is NM it? | 19:28 |
| balleyne | how can I tell which repository a package came from? (cli preferred) | 19:28 |
| burkmat | bryguy_, nm-applet should handle it all automatically... | 19:28 |
| hbit | burkmat: Thanx, I've tried adding the route with route -net x.x.x.myrouters_network netmask x.x.x.x gw mynic.address but it complaints | 19:29 |
| bryguy_ | it's an older 802.11b card for what it's worth | 19:30 |
| burkmat | bryguy_, Is the interface up? | 19:30 |
| ub2my | hey guys, trying to install mysql server, and configure asks for a root password, then tries to start mysqld and fails. (no logs in /var/log/messages) any suggestions on how to fix? I now get that configure prompt every time I apt-get install something | 19:30 |

| burkmat | hbit, Well, i'm not sure about the proper syntax, but I always run `route add default gw <gw> netmask <netmask> <dev>` and it works. :) | 19:30 |
| bryguy_ | I am guessing there's no config file for eth1, when I run ifup eth1 I get "Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1 | 19:31 |
| burkmat | ub2my, Have you tried reinstalling? | 19:31 |
| bryguy_ | do I maybe need to make an interface config file manually? | 19:31 |
| ub2my | burkmat, yes, I still get the same configure prompt each time | 19:31 |

| nickrud | ub2my, in /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.0.postinst , place the command exit 0 on the line following set -e ; run sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.0 && sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 | 19:39 |
| deasy | thanks Orgazmo , fosco__ ;) | 19:40 |
| bryguy_ | all I see is /etc/network/interfaces, which lists eth0 as the primary connection; the only network interface I have right now is eth1 (wireless card) | 19:40 |
| bryguy_ | I'm thinking maybe there's a disconnect where it's expecting eth0 and ignoring eth1 when it doesn't find eth0 (which was a pcmcia card I've since removed) | 19:41 |
| nickrud | bryguy_, normally wireless in the desktop is done by NetworkManger and the nm-applet in the notification area; if it's defined in /etc/network/interfaces NetworkManager will not handle that interface at all | 19:41 |

| olethri0s | Hi guys. I'm experiencing difficulty. I have a bcm4318 air force wireless nic in a laptop with no ethernet connection, and I need the firmware for a Xubuntu. I found the necessary firmware and got it to the laptop via a dvd, but I'm still getting the scios file not found error or whatever it is. | 20:37 |
| monkey2 | Pici: sorry about that. | 20:37 |
| BattleStarJesus | Pici: What is the point of Ubuntu Studio if it is so lame? | 20:38 |
| olethri0s | Anyone have any ideas? | 20:38 |
| Pici | BattleStarJesus: It includes those packages by default. | 20:38 |
| BattleStarJesus | thiebaude1: Yes. | 20:38 |
| easytarget | olethrios: looked at ndis? | 20:39 |
| olethri0s | No windows :/ | 20:39 |
| BattleStarJesus | Pici: do you have any insight into who maintains it? | 20:39 |
| easytarget | ndiswrapper is a wrapper for windows drivers under linux. | 20:39 |
| olethri0s | Wait, I can get the windows driver for it without windows, can't I? | 20:40 |
| Bodsda | olethri0s, yes | 20:40 |
| easytarget | if you have a windows driver, maybe it can be run with ndiwrapper under linux | 20:40 |
| olethri0s | alright sweet. I'll try that in a couple of minutes. Good idea.. thanks guys | 20:40 |
| Kazimir | Mornin' y'all | 20:40 |
| Bodsda | olethri0s, theres plenty of places online that will allow you to download drivers for free, -- usually try the manufacturers website | 20:40 |
| easytarget | ugly i know... but sometimes.. :-) | 20:40 |
| imri303 | olethri0s I ahve had some luck getting native linux drivers from broadcom | 20:40 |
| Pici | BattleStarJesus: #ubuntustudio-devel and https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel, along with the rest of the devs | 20:40 |
| Rhamphoryncus | Before I go talking out of my ass on a mailing list, do people continue to provide backports as we get closer to the next version, or do they fall off? | 20:41 |
| olethri0s | Alright.. I haven't looked for native drivers from Broadcom either because I figured they wouldn't have them. So I'll look for those first and then do ndiswrapper. | 20:42 |
| bryguy_ | burkmat: I solved the problem of the missing wireless card, udev had a rule that automatically renamed the device from eth0 to eth1, but network manager was still looking for eth0. Once I changed the rule to look for eth0 everything worked perfectly. | 20:42 |
| burkmat | bryguy_, Nice job. Had no idea nm-app stopped looking, good to know. ;) | 20:42 |

I'm assuming that I will have to enter a command line to set it. I have the "preferred app" open, but I'm not sure what command line to run. Is anyone familiar and able to help? | 20:52 |
| easytarget | MamboKurt: must be enabled in kernel and an entry in /etc/fstab | 20:52 |
| adaptr | RatPackSopra-: preferences for WHAT ? | 20:52 |
| C-S-B | RatPackSopra-, you can change it under default programs | 20:52 |
| easytarget | MamboKurt: something along the lines of "tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0" | 20:53 |
| MamboKurt | easytarget: how do i find out if its enabled in the kernel? and which entry i have to add to fstab to get in running if its enabled? | 20:53 |
| ub2my | is there a way to have apt-get show the files it's touching during an install? I tried -V | 20:53 |

I've tried sudo apt-get install update-core-manager but I get a list of "failed to fetch" errors - obviously due to end of support. is there anyway i can upgrade from bash, or do i have to go to System>Administration>Software Sources | 20:54 |
| MamboKurt | n8tuserf: new ati drivers out. hp says shared memory must be enabled. dont know if i just didnt see it befor or if its new. | 20:54 |
| C-S-B | RatPackSopra-, theres a couple of places to change it, easiest is probably what was said above and changing it in properties on your right click | 20:55 |
| n8tuserf | MamboKurt -> have you used ipcs command? | 20:55 |
| easytarget | MamboKurt: kernel depends.. I use "make menuconfig" in the kernel source to look from terminal prompt. Ther are other configuration programs for xwindows though | 20:55 |

| MamboKurt | n8tuserf: what does ipcs? | 20:56 |
| n8tuserf | easytarget -> umm /dev/shm is not for shared memory, its for temporary file system mount point | 20:56 |
| n8tuserf | MamboKurt -> kindly man ipcs | 20:56 |
| C-S-B | ArcSighter, have you tried updating the bios to boot usb? | 20:56 |

| mespejel | I wonder if ubuntu 8.10 is having a lot of issues? I am worry since is the first time I am trying it and when it start running (the splash loading), it stock there | 21:17 |
| enovativ | i have upgraded to 8.10, and now my wireless does not work, what is the difference in "infrastructure" and "ad hoc" ? | 21:17 |
| sint | sebsebseb: but thanks for your help anyway | 21:17 |
| mespejel | should I stick to 8.04? | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | yo yo yo | 21:17 |
| thiebaude | Hi ActionParsnip1 | 21:17 |
| _VIM_ | mespejel: what do you need in 8.10 that's not in 8.04? | 21:17 |
| thiebaude | lol | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mespejel: if you are happy with hardy, why fix it? | 21:18 |
| sebsebseb | mespejel: depends on your computer | 21:18 |
| kellojoe | anybody with cyber billing idea suitable for ubuntu hardy? | 21:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !ot | kellojoe | 21:19 |
| ubottu | kellojoe: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:19 |
| sebsebseb | sint: what hardy re install is easy, in fact those partitions you done now are probably not done in the best way, for example do you have a seperate home partition? | 21:19 |
| Crayboff | i need to know the best music player, not amarok though | 21:19 |
| mespejel | _VIM_: I am not sure.. i guess is I am just use to upgrade everything... that's all.. but what are the basic differences? | 21:19 |
| sebsebseb | Crayboff: Banshee Intrepid Ibex version | 21:19 |
| _VIM_ | mespejel: hardy is LTS | 21:19 |
| _VIM_ | !LTS | 21:19 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Crayboff: there is no best of anything in nlife | 21:19 |
| sebsebseb | Crayboff: the one in hardy sucks, but there is a ppa that can be added for the Intrepid Ibex version | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !player | Crayboff | 21:19 |
| ubottu | Crayboff: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Crayboff: try a few, see which you like. | 21:19 |
| thiebaude | totem | 21:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | amarok for me, xul remote is killer | 21:20 |
| Crayboff | sebsebseb, what is this ppa thing? i do have ibex | 21:20 |
| sint | sebsebseb: ya i have. i know how to install ubuntu ;) but i don't have the time now, cause its almost half to 11 in the night and i wanna go out now. he will live with nv, cause he just want to surf and write some mails | 21:20 |
| thiebaude | amarok is very good also | 21:20 |

| ActionParsnip1 | mplayer for video, doesnt need an x server :) | 21:21 |
| daneng | does anybody have also problem with crashes of the xchat gnome gui? | 21:21 |
| RatPackSopra- | Hello Guys, I have another issue and this one IS a real issue. My Dell Latitude D620 laptop runs Ubuntu 8.10 beautifully except for one thing. After it has been up for a couple of days the audio will "hang up" (that's what it sounds like at least.) It will have a vibrating chatter and the only thing that will stop it is a reboot. I've heard it said that there are some issues with with Pulse Audio and Ubuntu, but I have No | 21:21 |
| RatPackSopra- | knowledge of the situation. Could it be that simple or might it be something else? By the way it JUST happened and that's what brought me here. | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | RatPackSopra-: try restarting alsa or pulse or hal instead | 21:22 |
| RatPackSopra- | ActionParsnip1, how do I go about that? | 21:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | RatPackSopra-: if you are using pulse, try switching to alsa | 21:22 |
| RatPackSopra- | gotcha | 21:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | RatPackSopra-: sudo /etc/init.d/<whatever> restart | 21:22 |
| _VIM_ | daneng: have you tried Konversation yet? | 21:23 |
| sint | _VIM_: ya, i had tutorial which told me that the default driver is nv | 21:23 |
| daneng | _VIM: no i just removed the gnome gui and using the original gui, it seems that it works now, so maybe a bug in the gnome gui? i'm downloading via xdcc | 21:24 |
| _VIM_ | xdcc? O.o xchat is in the repos | 21:24 |

| thiebaude | me too | 21:26 |
| shausam27 | how do i put a dock on the bottom of my desktop like mac | 21:26 |
| thiebaude | !avant | 21:27 |
| ubottu | Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy | 21:27 |
| daneng | i cannot use multi im programs like pidgin for irc because i mainly need irc for downloading and i would miss such functions like automatic accepting of dcc file offers and saving to an specific folder | 21:27 |
| _VIM_ | shausam27: try gnome-do | 21:27 |
| _VIM_ | or is it gnome.do,,,bah one of those | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | daneng: i'd NEVER have auto accepting of downloads, thats risky stuff | 21:28 |

| shausam27 | is that a program gnome-do | 21:28 |
| _VIM_ | not so dangerious on Linux | 21:28 |
| _VIM_ | shausam27: yep | 21:28 |
| daneng | i have another question... does anybody know if ubuntu server is working fine with fujitsu siemens server eg. the tx200 s4 (intel 5000z chipset, codename blackford)? | 21:28 |
| shausam27 | thank you | 21:29 |

| RatPackSopra- | thanks | 21:29 |
| _VIM_ | np | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | daneng: can't see why not | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !hcl | daneng | 21:29 |
| ubottu | daneng: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 21:29 |
| daneng | it's not in the compatible/certified list of ubuntu server | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | daneng: the make / model is moot, its the components inside that count | 21:30 |
| RatPackSopra- | ActionParsnip1, I tried that one and it is still hung up ...dang. Anything else? | 21:30 |

| ActionParsnip1 | daneng: i'd run bsd personally | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !sound | RatPackSopra- | 21:31 |
| ubottu | RatPackSopra-: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 21:31 |

| lfaraone | ActionParsnip1: ok, thanks. | 21:32 |
| daneng | i'm afraid of bsd's complicity, ubuntu is so nice and easy a bit like mac os x | 21:32 |
| jiffe92 | freebsd is awesome for servers | 21:32 |
| jiffe92 | but sucks for a desktop | 21:33 |
| jiffe92 | pcbsd isn't there yet either | 21:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jiffe92: pcbsd isnt too offensive, gimme gentoo anyday | 21:33 |
| daneng | i don't like gentoo anymore since the stage 1 installs are missing | 21:34 |
| regeya | depends on your definition of desktop, really. for me, both ubuntu and fedora are suitable as a desktop, and used to use gentoo as a desktop os | 21:35 |
| usser | how long does kernel compilation usually take? | 21:35 |
| regeya | usser, what sort of hardware are you building a kernel on? | 21:35 |
| daneng | at the moment ubuntu desktop edition is my server os on a mac mini | 21:35 |
| thiebaude | for me it's ubuntu with fluxbox | 21:35 |

| regeya | usser, the other thing we would need to know is whether you're using a barely-modified ubuntu config :-> it's highly dependent upon your hardware AND your kernel config, really | 21:38 |
| regeya | let's just take a wild stab and say 30 min. for a kernel build. | 21:38 |
| BattleStarJesus | Ubuntu Studio is is weak, almost useless. I offered to help the project but developers are jerks., leading me believe the project is gravely flawed. Hopefully I am wrong. | 21:38 |
| usser | regeya, I see. well, hm... just trying to build my first kernel. i barely modified vanilla kernel config, just remove support for hardware i dont have an compiled in the drivers that i do | 21:39 |
| plazia | BattleStarJesus, maybe they'd only accept help from a basestar. | 21:39 |
| regeya | I had a slackware machine years ago running Slack, was a 486 with aa whole whopping 8MB of RAM. took most of a day to build v2.0.36 | 21:39 |
| methods | will ubuntu shutdown automatically if the system overheats ? | 21:39 |
| Dillizar | how can i make a altered version of ubuntu and then make a live cd from it?? | 21:40 |
| usser | regeya, ubuntu determines what modules to load on startup right, so if i compiled them in there isnt any config file anywhere that would tell it to load the modules, which are already in the kernel? | 21:40 |
| vol | Argh! My repo downloads from us.archive.ubuntu.com start at about 8kb/s and end up at about 500b/s!

Is there a way to change what mirror I'm pointing to, so I can get faster than dialup speeds to download hundreds of megs for work? | 21:41 |
| bangalibabu | which desktop is better gnome or kde? | 21:41 |

| Dillizar | n8tuserf, i have a live cds maybe all of them :D i will make iso out of them and try it :D will that work | 22:14 |
| n8tuserf | Dillizar -> no no, you dont need to make an iso, allyou have to do is mount the livecd iso and take out to see what squashfs is in there. i can tell you, 7.10 is not same as in 8.10 | 22:15 |
| The-Compiler | Could anyone tell me why at http://paste.pocoo.org/show/104714/ line 2 works but line 3 doesn't (and yes, I have to use backticks and can't use $()) | 22:16 |

| dwxreaper | (says dependancies) | 22:17 |
| guntbert | Nickyy: I'm not sure what you want. Did you read man printf though? | 22:17 |
| monkey2 | mrwes: do you think I forgot to set the bootflag on the /boot partition ? | 22:17 |
| mrwes | monkey2, that would do it :) | 22:17 |
| monkey2 | mrwes: would that result in this problem | 22:17 |

| silentContender | What packages do I need to rip and encode mp3 and m4a. The music I've ripped doesn't seem to play on my Ipod Nano | 22:20 |
| rohil | Hi All .. i am tired of getting lamp to work. Initially, I had xampp installed .. so after that, I installed lamp , seemingly there was conflicting. Now, I removed all packages and installed from synaptic or apt-get , it is not working. Earlier error was that browser was trying to open phtml file when I browser localhost .. now browser cant connect to localhost...even trying to start apache2 through terminal gives file errors. | 22:20 |
| Maegllin | allo guys | 22:20 |
| AlanJenkins | silentContender: lame and faac | 22:20 |
| Maegllin | i have a serius problem with ubuntu 8.10 | 22:20 |
| silentContender | AlanJenkins, I have faac, is it enough? | 22:20 |
| Maegllin | i would appreciate it if you can help with it and solve it :P | 22:20 |
| Cpudan80 | Maegllin: and this problem is .... | 22:21 |
| panickedthumb | Maegllin, you haven't told us what it is yet | 22:21 |
| therootest | hello. can someone help me install SMOOTH FONTS in firefox 3.0 / ubuntu 8.10? | 22:21 |
| Maegllin | no sound | 22:21 |
| AlanJenkins | silentContender: lame was for mp3 and faac was aac (m4a) | 22:21 |
| Maegllin | untill yesterday i had sound! but not today | 22:21 |
| AlanJenkins | faac should be fine tho in isolation | 22:21 |
| Veratyr9 | theres like 10 people with questions to 1 person with answers on here today | 22:21 |
| panickedthumb | Maegllin, any recent updates? | 22:21 |
| Maegllin | yy yesterday night | 22:21 |
| AlanJenkins | silentContender: in what way does it not play on the nano? how did you transfer it etc? | 22:22 |
| mrwes | Maegllin, you right clicked on the speaker icon and open the mixer? PCM is not muted? | 22:22 |
| silentContender | AlanJenkins, Never mind I don't even have faac. But anyways, how did I manage to convert the songs | 22:22 |
| Maegllin | but just to be more specific! i have sound when i'm using Amarok but i don't have any sound when using mozilla | 22:22 |
| silentContender | AlanJenkins, the songs play fine on Amarok, but are simply displayed and skipped on the Ipod | 22:22 |
| Maegllin | also no sounds from amsn | 22:22 |
| rohil | what is a sure shot way to completely remove packages .. so that the folders it leaves behind do not conflict | 22:22 |
| Maegllin | so any ideas? | 22:23 |
| AlanJenkins | silentContender: not sure how you could have... unless you used gtkpod-aac which may have its own aac codec | 22:23 |
| jove | what application of Ubuntu to convert mp3 to wav/audio file ? | 22:23 |
| AlanJenkins | jove: soundconverter is a good one | 22:23 |
| AlanJenkins | its in repos | 22:23 |
| mrwes | +1 for sound converter | 22:24 |
| mrwes | it works | 22:24 |
| Maegllin | .. | 22:24 |
| panickedthumb | Maegllin, I had something similar happen a while back. I had onboard sound as well as a PCI sound card, and it had changed my default audio source. You might want to check that | 22:24 |
| jove | alanjenkins, I don't sound converter in my ubuntu....how to run install on it ? | 22:24 |
| Coded1 | im trying to get my tv (s-video out) working on my radeon 9250(RV280). It works right up until X loads then gets "no signal" i've tried looking around but no luck, im running intrepid and using radeon drivers (non proprietary) | 22:24 |
| Maegllin | hmm can you help a bit cause i'm quite noob in Ubuntu | 22:24 |
| mrwes | is listening to Tom Petty Live at the Chicago Vic -- BTW :) | 22:25 |
| silentContender | AlanJenkins, I'm trying to rip with faac installed. Will let you know how it works | 22:25 |
| akorpija | can anybody help me figure out why my windows won't boot up after i installed hardy? i think it might be the way GParted has set it up as a Mountpoint, since i CAN see the files from ubuntu that are in that partition and it DOES start loading but then becomes an Unmountable Boot Sector | 22:25 |
| AlanJenkins | jove: are you in ubuntu or kubunut? | 22:25 |
| AlanJenkins | silentContender: ok cool | 22:25 |
| akorpija | also, running chkdsk doesn't work since it says there are too many unfixable errors... | 22:25 |
| panickedthumb | Maegllin, come to think of it, I don't remember how to do that either. Lemme poke around | 22:25 |
| AlanJenkins | grr and my typos | 22:25 |
| jove | Alanjenkins, I am in Ubuntu | 22:25 |
| AlanJenkins | kubuntu* | 22:25 |

| mib_htp3aa | hey i would like to know fully compatible ubuntu deritives. i am using crunchbang, and been wondering when jaunty is released if i could upgrade w/o problems, they use ubuntu resp. | 22:25 |
| AlanJenkins | jove: ok click System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager | 22:26 |
| panickedthumb | Maegllin, system -> Administration -> Sound, and try the different options for each section there. | 22:26 |
| Maegllin | pnickedthumb: you might have right ! i can listen sound when using things only from my Logitech Speakerphone | 22:26 |
| mrwes | Maegllin, sound preferences are all set to auto detect ? | 22:26 |
| panickedthumb | Maegllin, scratch that | 22:26 |
| guntbert | Maegllin: please be patient, wait some time then restate your question in *one* line (so it is easier to read and understand for "us") | 22:26 |
| panickedthumb | Maegllin, it's system -> preferences -> sound | 22:26 |
| Maegllin | nope they are HDA intell Digital (ALSA) | 22:26 |
| AlanJenkins | jove: then after you have synaptic open click the search button and type in soundconverter | 22:26 |
| meoblast001 | hi.. .where does OpenJDK put the development kit? | 22:27 |
| guntbert | Maegllin: sorry, didn't want to interrupt | 22:27 |
| Maegllin | i've tried to play with options in sound but nothing happened ! | 22:27 |
| mrwes | Maegllin, try setting them to auto | 22:27 |
| AlanJenkins | jove: then after you have found soundconverter click on it and click mark for installation | 22:27 |
| Maegllin | i've tried everything guys ! | 22:27 |
| AlanJenkins | jove: then right click on it and select everything in suggested packages | 22:27 |
| mib_htp3aa | so what derititive should i use i wonder. | 22:27 |
| panickedthumb | you have tried setting them all to auto? | 22:27 |
| Maegllin | no point to change smth in audio options | 22:27 |
| AlanJenkins | jove: then click apply | 22:28 |
| meoblast001 | i can't find /usr/java/j2sdk because i'm using OpenJDK | 22:28 |
| === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys | ||

| alucardromero | You know, I've noticed something... everybody I know that has upgraded kernels in 8.10, they're flash sound support is knocked away. But if you do a fresh install, re-install flash, everything is fine. | 22:30 |
| Maegllin | pls guys if you know smth about this prob give a hand :P | 22:30 |
| alucardromero | What's his issue? | 22:30 |
| mrwes | alucardromero, not I | 22:30 |
| mrwes | 2.6.27-11-generic -- flash if fine | 22:31 |
| alucardromero | mrwes: That's the weird thing... most people don't have it. But I've noticed with all the people I knew all have multiple sound devices. | 22:31 |

| alucardromero | Maegllin: Yeah, same here... it never worked for me. | 22:31 |
| alucardromero | Oh well... just thought I'd bring that up. | 22:32 |

| LordNLptp | in xubuntu, how do i get to any sort of network-setup dialog from the menus, or do i have to start digging in conf files? | 22:32 |

| LordNLptp | i had a catastrophic local network collapse and need to reconfigure everything as dhcp temporarily until the gateway machine can get a new NIC to replace the one that got blown up | 22:33 |
| jove | Alenjenkins, Thx...it works | 22:33 |
| mrwes | Maegllin, when you boot, hit the ESC key and choose the kernel before the one you're currently using | 22:33 |

| pieces | can anyone help me in setting up dual monitors with dual video cards? | 22:34 |
| silentContender | mikewu, I'm lost. I'm trying to rip CD's and the thread deals with converting mp3 to m4a | 22:34 |
| madmike | Problem: At the boot up/loadbar progress screen, the bar that bounces back and forth, only moves about an inch. I then have to hold in space bar to keep it moving/booting. Once it gets to the solid progress bar, I can let go of the space bar, and it will keep loading on it's own. Any ideas? | 22:34 |
| monkey2 | mrwes: ok, another important thing I should've mentioned earlier. I did a raid 5 setup in ubuntu (/boot partition is not on the raid array), is there anything I have to do to enable raid before when booting? In 8.04 I didn't have to do anything special, don't know if that's changed for 8.10. What are your thoughts? | 22:34 |
| mrwes | monkey2, I've never set up RAID | 22:35 |
| alucardromero | I don't know much about conversions, but... would razorlame help? | 22:35 |
| gcolley | What is the latest version of ubuntu? | 22:35 |
| MoLoot | madmike, train a hamster to jump up and down on the spacebar ;) | 22:35 |
| mrwes | silentContender, you can rip CD's with sound juicer | 22:35 |
| madmike | haha, MoLoot, I think my wife would support that one "oh it's sooo cute!!!" | 22:35 |
| mikewu | silentContender: were't you trying to encode mp3 to m4a to play on your ipod? | 22:35 |
| MoLoot | madmike, If you don't touch the space bar for say... 2 minutes, does it eventually load? | 22:36 |
| mrwes | silentContender, but IMHO, ABCDE is the best ripper-- but it's command line | 22:36 |
| rrplay | pieces, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dual-monitors-with-nvidia.html | 22:36 |
| LordNLptp | ... gtg. this looks hopeless | 22:36 |
| silentContender | mikewu, I was trying to rip CDs to mp3 or m4a for my Ipod. The mp3 and m4a don't play on the Ipod | 22:36 |
| madmike | MoLoot: Nope, I let it sit half an hour one time. It just hangs till I hold the space bar down. And If I let go, it stops until I hold it again | 22:36 |
| LordNLptp | what config files am i 'allowed' to touch which won't completely screw up the computer configuration gui stuff? | 22:36 |
| nickrud | LordNLptp, try asking in #xubuntu | 22:36 |
| LordNLptp | ok | 22:36 |
| MoLoot | maDmike Wow... I'm not even sure where I'd start to look to fix THAT. | 22:37 |
| madmike | moloot: i know, this one has me perplexed | 22:37 |
| Veratyr9 | why is it, in skype, my video camera shows up with a bunch of green static and lines? though it works fin in ekiga | 22:37 |

| silentContender | AlanJenkins, I tried that link. I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras awhile ago with no luck | 22:39 |
| monkey2 | for 8.10 is there anything you have to boot when your / partition is on a raid 5 (logical volume), /boot is not on on the raid. Raid was done when partitioning the drives in the installer. Thanks. | 22:39 |
| Lounge | after today's updates, udevd is hogging the cpu% | 22:39 |

| Oniak | Hey guys, I need a little help with getting my webcam working, I have the windows drivers but cant find linux drivers, its just a generic USB webcam | 22:41 |
| farsight | hi all | 22:41 |
| silentContender | mrwes, the songs are just displayed and then skipped on my Ipod | 22:41 |
| MoLoot | madmike, but it's something I might try... :P | 22:41 |
| ubuntu_ | Izinucs: I upgrade. Then it told me something like that I have to close KDE, and gave me the option to do so later. i chose to so so later. One by one the icons in K menu went disappearing. I hit shitdown or restart and since then I always end up at a konsole login | 22:41 |
| Izinucs | ubuntu_: try this.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade .. then if you notice that it pulls packages in .. afterwards type sudo reboot now and see if you get it back | 22:41 |
| Maegllin | is it possible to restore the system in it's starting settings? | 22:42 |
| madmike | moloot, so if I were to do this, I would just install the kdm package? should I remove gdm as well? is there anything I have to do to enable it? | 22:42 |
| ubuntu_ | Izinucs "login: Stopping NTP Startin NTP" there i add my user name and it asks for pw, and i can log into konsole, but not kde | 22:42 |
| Maegllin | as the time i've putted it for 1st time in my pc | 22:42 |
| Izinucs | ubuntu_: yep.. that's where you can type all that I listed. | 22:43 |
| MoLoot | madmike, when I went to install it, it asked me which one I'd like to use, and just picked kdm... ;) | 22:43 |
| Oniak | can anyone help? | 22:43 |
| ubuntu_ | Izinucs: ok, I must write that down. Am right now on a live CD in order to get into irc. | 22:43 |

| ubuntu_ | Izinucs: One more thing. I had tried startx and got the error: no xsession fiel in /home/user, Xsession file in home user, no session manager found, no window manager found, no terminal emulator found | 22:45 |
| adaptr | your user is trivial: remove everything from your home directory and log out | 22:45 |
| adaptr | the system.. not so much | 22:45 |
| Maegllin | and how the heck i will fix sound lol | 22:45 |
| ubuntu_ | Izinucs and before I get to console login it says: Kinit no resume image | 22:45 |
| Izinucs | ubuntu_: the other way to attempt to start x is by typing .. sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start | 22:45 |
| ubuntu_ | Izinucs: That's all the info i get. Hopefully it tells you something about the reason | 22:46 |

| Izinucs | ubuntu_: sounds like you first need to do the updates then maybe sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop.. that will reinstall the entire desktop environment again.. no need to reformat or anything. | 22:46 |

| mrwes | familiamontoya, you have to set the backspace key for the back button in about:config | 22:50 |

| Oniak | Im not sure, how can I tell? | 22:52 |
| BCM43 | Oniak: ok, I just realized how stupid that sounded. Do lsusb, which should tell everything that is plugged in. That is why I asked you to plug it in. | 22:52 |
| Izinucs | ubuntu_: your home will remain as well as your user name and password | 22:52 |
| whacked | i just want someone that really good at understand Grub and stop sending me too sight with how to | 22:53 |

| Oniak | in the terminal for lsusb it says Microdia PC camera | 22:53 |
| BCM43 | familiamontoya: firefox? | 22:54 |
| burkmat | whacked, You're not going to screw everything up by making a typo, at worst you're going to have to edit it and fix the problem... Nobody is going to be able to give you a 100% definitive answer. | 22:54 |
| familiamontoya | yeah | 22:54 |
| Oniak | In brackets SN9C201 | 22:54 |

| Frozen[Alt] | I can do noothing | 23:02 |
| guntbert | Frozen[Alt]: feisty has reached "eol" | 23:03 |
| guntbert | !eol | Frozen[Alt] | 23:03 |
| ubottu | Frozen[Alt]: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 23:03 |
| _VIM_ | alucardromero: I think for that you have to create .fonts in /usr/share something or another | 23:03 |
| redvamp128 | whacked: here is 2 sites- before you go mental-- the first is the official grub manual- GNU GRUB Manual 0.97 <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/> the next link I think does a fair job of explaining how grub works and with some examples- grub page <http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm> | 23:03 |

| ironrose | "Reading files needed to boot" | 23:04 |
| AlanJenkins | cphillips: i typically use sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop ./isfile.iso ./mountdir | 23:04 |

| alucardromero | Hmm... I'll look it up on the web. | 23:05 |
| _VIM_ | ok | 23:05 |
| BCM43 | ironrose: why do you want to get rid of it? | 23:05 |
| oCean_ | Frozen[Alt]: Upgrading from 7.04 is a long way. See next link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 23:05 |

| cphillips | AlanJenkins, sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /iso /media/iso | 23:05 |

| ironrose | BCM43: i messed with my partitions, and before that, it didn't come up. I'm assuming I mounted something wrong? | 23:06 |
| hmw | whacked: try hd(1,x) instead of (hd0,x) or vice versa. somtimes the numbering of the drives change. this is just a guess. | 23:06 |
| whacked | just appears easier for me to understand | 23:06 |
| BCM43 | ironrose: does it boot? | 23:06 |
| oCean_ | Frozen[Alt]: there is a sources.list on next link if you really want to upgrade: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades | 23:06 |
| cphillips | AlanJenkins, and it still asks me to specify the filesystem type | 23:06 |
| freegoo | hey guys, if i use dd command to copy a disk say "/media/ipod" would it back up the "Partition INFO" as well | 23:06 |
| ironrose | BCM43: yes, it's just an annoyance cuz it takes longer | 23:06 |
| AlanJenkins | cphillips: mmm thats odd have you tried without specifying the type? | 23:06 |
| cphillips | AlanJenkins, yes, that is how i originally tried it | 23:07 |
| whacked | I was arleady able edit duplicate items on grub with Kgrubeditor , so i feel some success so far | 23:07 |
| === goku is now known as crueltoss | ||
| AlanJenkins | cphillips: can you open the iso in fileroller to make sure it isnt corrupted? | 23:07 |
| hmw | cphillips AlanJenkins - maybe the iso is broken? you could try mounting another for checking, and maybe you can use the iso with some cd burn program for a test, too. | 23:07 |

| sebsebseb | raven_: sure, and you can even run 32bit programs on it | 23:22 |
| raven_ | sebsebseb, ah then there's no good reason for me not to use it... wine works too i assume? | 23:22 |

| raven_ | cool | 23:22 |
| raven_ | can always reinstall if it doesnt work out | 23:22 |

| JudauVidan | What is the best BT client to use with ubuntu? (in your oppinions) | 23:23 |
| hmw | tlacaelel - do you have a nvidia? | 23:23 |
| VicTheHunter | hmw: thanks, I'll install it now | 23:23 |
| BCM43 | tlacaelel: try the alt cd. | 23:23 |
| chaverma | hey if i had vi running on an ssh session that got disconnected when my client crashed, how can i reconnect to that vi session after i've reconnected? | 23:23 |
| guntbert | !best | JudauVidan | 23:24 |
| ubottu | JudauVidan: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 23:24 |
| Guest69264 | hello, I've accidentally associated a device to the wrong program "on plugged in", how can I disassociate it so it doesn't load the program & crash when I plug it in? thank you! | 23:24 |
| rrplay | whacked, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/120772/ for windows compare with yours and add you windos info to menu.1st | 23:24 |
| freegoo | how can i use dd to back up just the files on my external harddrive. change the formate of this drive (say hfs+ to hfs) then use dd to copy the files back onto the newly formated drive) | 23:24 |
| freegoo | i can do the formating y self, but not sure how to copy just the files using dd | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | JudauVidan: Ktorrent | 23:24 |
| raven_ | sebsebseb, 3GB | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | raven_: that's good | 23:24 |
| guntbert | chaverma: only if you started a "screen" session before | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | raven_: ,but I think you might not really get any 64bit advantages unless you got 4GB RAM at least | 23:24 |
| rrplay | whacked, you already know your windowws sda1 (hd0,0) info for grub | 23:24 |
| raven_ | sebsebseb, im hoping to get faster compile speeds and possibly performance out of x86 emus via 64-bit | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | raven_: also there's a Adobe Flash for 64bit Linux that is meant to be better than the others, that you can get from site | 23:25 |
| chaverma | guntbert: i think i actually had been running that in screen | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | raven_: if you want more speed well | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | raven_: Ext4 is an option in the next Ubuntu in April | 23:25 |
| tuxflavrdwafls | is there a "better" application than aptoncd | 23:25 |
| hmw | freegoo - i think, you cant "just copy the files" with dd, because it is "disk dupe". you can make a backup with cp, i think you will want to use the -a switch, but do look up the man page yourself first | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | raven_: and you would have to do the partitions again for that so yeah | 23:25 |
| hmw | freegoo - with dd you can make complete copies of a partition, including empty sectors, though | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | raven_: maybe just keep 32bit Intrepid Ibex for now? you are on Intrepid? and then start over with Jaunty and use Ext4 | 23:26 |
| raven_ | sebsebseb, i have no linux install atm | 23:26 |
| * AlanJenkins loves dd | 23:26 | |

| q_ | how to enable EAX for creative audigy se? | 23:26 |
| guntbert | chaverma: then you connect to the machine again and reattach the old session (screen -r I believe, but "man screen" tells you ) | 23:26 |
| raven_ | sebsebseb, yeah, but not new to linux or anything | 23:26 |
| raven_ | sebsebseb, been using it for years | 23:26 |
| DIFH-iceroot | q_: i think there is no eax in llinux | 23:26 |

| guntbert | !alternate | tlacaelel | 23:32 |
| ubottu | tlacaelel: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 23:32 |

| guntbert | RA1: I hope you get what you want, if not you can try #ubuntu-offtopic too | 23:40 |
| whacked | yeah ok but how to get the edit file back to where it needs to be ? | 23:40 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | okay, I found a monitor and am in the middle of a PXE boot, Ive gotten the isntaller running | 23:40 |

| happyface_0 | how do I get internet access in my chroot? | 23:42 |
| whacked | i have no idea how take and edit file then apply to terminal assuming that where the info eventually going to be placed | 23:42 |
| hmw | happyface_0 - this advise is just a generic one - try disabling onboard peripherals and pull out everything, you dont need to boot (soundcards, usb controllers, etc) and see, if the bug keeps appearing | 23:42 |
| guntbert | galvanize: usually ISPs publish this sort of info on their web site | 23:42 |

| hmw | aprilhare - you could change the path in .bashrc or .bash-profile (your home dir). you will need to look up, how it is to be done properly, but i think its something like export PATH=$PATH;/new/path/here | 23:49 |
| whacked | and how to accomplish that ? | 23:49 |
| rrplay | whacked, you need to be root so sudo <file> /boot/grub/menu.1st | 23:49 |
