| hlm | hmw, I kind of figured from your comment.. | 00:09 |
| th__ | how many linux users are there? | 00:09 |
| whacked | so this has to be done in terminal guessing | 00:09 |
| mrp | martinpaul: yes that is through console | 00:09 |
| guntbert | austin_: check the second line (community....) universe | 00:09 |
| happyface_0 | thanks mrp I'll try that | 00:09 |
| hlm | th__, in a sense, everyone uses linux everyday... it was a dugg I do believe | 00:09 |
| austin_ | guntbert: it is checked... | 00:09 |
| martinpaul | mrp: no i mean, i need that for the console not for x | 00:09 |
| th__ | hlm, yes i know that. but desktop i meant | 00:10 |
| mrp | martinpaul: they are console commands sorry? the program is just called "numlockx" but it is not a x program | 00:10 |
| hlm | th__, most likely 99% of the USERS in #ubuntu use a linux desktop | 00:10 |
| whacked | i not able to edit changes while in the Grub folder, says permissions denied | 00:10 |

| alpha7 | I have problem with mines failed to start scanner : error during device i/o | 00:11 |
| hmw | hlm - i never saw a computer, which disabled the caps lock only with the right shift key. does your left shift work normally? | 00:11 |
| hlm | !info scanner | 00:11 |
| ubottu | Package scanner does not exist in intrepid | 00:11 |
| mrp | happyface_0: you should be able to do it with the standard ubuntu installed at the partition configuration point. | 00:11 |
| hlm | hmw, yes, it works like a normal shift key | 00:11 |
| hmw | whacked: you need to be root for having the acces rights | 00:11 |
| tritium | guntbert: scanners are supported with the xsane package, installed by default | 00:11 |

| elvirolo | pulse00: nope | 00:12 |
| mrp | happyface_0: how are your drives connected? | 00:12 |
| alpha7 | tritium: failed to start scanner : error during device i/o | 00:12 |

| pulse00 | elvirolo, so no way to install ubuntu without pulseaudio | 00:12 |

| rrplay | hmw : yep someone elase got him started usuing that | 00:12 |
| austin_ | guntbert: ok | 00:12 |
| hmw | whacked - maybe its the wrong program, i dont know, if you have nano. try sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:13 |
| jk60 | Is security.ubuntu.com down for long? Ping to it fails and apt-get update times out on it. | 00:13 |
| ScottG489 | What is a good powerful media player? | 00:13 |

| elvirolo | pulse00: AFAIK, no, i'm afraid :( | 00:13 |
| rrplay | hmw ;originally whacked was using a k gui editor | 00:13 |
| rrplay | then using gedit | 00:14 |
| hmw | ScottG489 mplayer plays a pizza, if you manage to stuff it into your drive. mplayer-gui is a useable gnome gui, but its not very fancy. vlc is good, too | 00:14 |
| guntbert | austin_: lmms :) - gives two lines | 00:14 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | k, I dunno what did, but I got the network install working | 00:14 |
| austin_ | guntbert: nope, nothign shows.. | 00:14 |
| rrplay | _VIM : di not wanna suggest nano either | 00:14 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | probably because I gave it an ip manually | 00:14 |
| austin_ | guntbert: wate nvm yes i see two lines | 00:14 |
| DJNomad | my device manager lists my media card reader but dont want to mount it | 00:14 |
| _VIM_ | oh god especially Nano LOL | 00:14 |

| hmw | _VIM_ why not suggesting nano? (i dont know it very well) | 00:15 |
| rrplay | hmw just copy and paste the menu i made in the pastebin | 00:16 |
| austin_ | guntbert: then what do i do | 00:16 |
| hmw | rrplay - there seems to be a permission problem now | 00:16 |
| ScottG489 | hmw: I've had mpalyer for a while and it does have a lot of options but its all like technical options. The only real thing I see that mplayer has is that it supports a playlist | 00:16 |
| _VIM_ | hmw just a matter of preference really | 00:16 |
| guntbert | austin_: now select lmms and say "yes" in the follwing dialog - you will need several packages too | 00:16 |
| hmw | ScottG489 - did you ever try the mplayer-gui? its quite nice | 00:17 |
| rrplay | sudo cp pastebin saved file to /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:17 |
| hmw | _VIM_ i am glad, because i directed that poor newbie to nane a minute ago *pfew* | 00:17 |
| doc`` | ok what program is good for ipods? | 00:17 |
| ChrisAshton84 | Hi, am I crazy? I keep seeing a package called ia32-libs on the forums (and online package database) but it's not available for me - what do I need to do to get it? | 00:17 |
| austin_ | guntbert: there is no yes....i can left click and it gives otpiosn to reintall and un install | 00:17 |
| ScottG489 | hmw: Is there a better gui? I mean I dont use it by the command line | 00:18 |
| _VIM_ | It's called an Editor War, it's been going since ED, Pico, Emacs, VI and who knows how many years before those even | 00:18 |
| guntbert | austin_: on the line with the name lmms there is a check-box, select that | 00:18 |
| yun-haow | can i spaek indonesian here | 00:18 |
| _VIM_ | no | 00:18 |

| ScottG489 | hmw: Well for example, how do i set it to loop songs and not just stop? Or how do I stop it from keep opening a damn video window when the program starts or when songs end | 00:20 |

| _VIM_ | Fund you could try !Backports for a few updated goodies | 00:21 |
| hmw | ScottG489 - i see your point now. Maybe you will like VLC, it has many more options in the gui | 00:21 |
| nickrud | Fund, you could go 7.04 -> 7.10 -> 8.04 -> 8.10 , but you'd be better off backing up your data and reinstalling | 00:21 |
| hmw | vijay - maybe you want to look into the "winetricks" thingy instead | 00:22 |
| semanticpc | when i use X 11 how can i change the font ?? | 00:22 |
| nickrud | semanticpc, in ubuntu/gnome, system->prefs->appearance -> fonts tab | 00:22 |

(sort of "hardware ids") more about that later | 00:53 |
| hmw | rrplay - ok, will look into that, too | 00:53 |

| hmw | hlm - i would need to google for it, if i was to tell you exactly. in principle, you get your packages by the means of looking to repositories. many programs are already available out of the box, but some others are not contained in the "download servers" (repos) ... in certain cases, you need to tell your system, where else to look for packages. is your problem, that you want to watch divx or w32codec stuff, and it wont work? | 01:34 |
| donavan_ | nerdshark ... might be a dumb question but did you burn the disc image or just burn the iso onto a disc ? | 01:34 |

| Mr__Mackee | any help? | 01:36 |
| scopecreep | imgburn is a free win app for burning, and about 1/50th the size of nero | 01:36 |
| hlm | hmw, thanks anyways | 01:36 |
| redvamp128 | hlm: Not room on your hard drive but in the dependency -- for example it ran out of room to say libxvidcore4-dev (where it ran out of room to display the -dev) | 01:36 |
| nerdshark | i like nero though, it came with my burner so it was free. it also makes burning audio cds easy | 01:36 |
| evilGUI | Is it anything to worry about? I do have fwanalog installed, but why would it have used su? | 01:37 |
| hlm | redvamp128, I got ya now, thanks | 01:37 |
| scopecreep | in nero you want to be sure you are "writing an image file to disc" not just adding the iso to the cd | 01:37 |
| redvamp128 | hlm: since it appears as though you are trying to install the xvid-dev (development) | 01:37 |
| cedeel | nerdshark: nero is evil, proprietary software... use a FREE solution! | 01:37 |
| scopecreep | and you want to burn the disc slow because some cheap blank cd's get corrupted if they spin too fast | 01:38 |
| tritium | cedeel: he is FREE to use what he chooses | 01:38 |
| donavan_ | nerdshark... ok good deal ... just making sure ... cant tell you how many people I have run into over the years that would burn an ISO incorrectly... probably another dumb one but can you boot to the CD/DVD drive using other discs? | 01:38 |
| hlm | redvamp128, what is my best bet of fixing this, it has to be dev since I have the notdev version of it | 01:38 |
| topdawg | gonna reboot BRB | 01:38 |
| scopecreep | the speed at which the disc is burned has no effect on the speed of the software itself | 01:38 |
| scopecreep | slower just means less chance for a transfer error | 01:38 |

| redvamp128 | ubuntu__: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop (to install the kde desktop) then log off- options- window manager- kde- then if asked keep GDM. also may want to just for the session it. | 01:41 |
| scopecreep | nerdshark, first compare the md5 of your iso to the one on the site, if it matches, youre having trouble in the burn | 01:41 |
| hmw | !ask | Nannu | 01:41 |

| ubuntu__ | redvamp128, bazhang http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/120826/ | 01:42 |
| bazhang | ubuntu__, apt-get is spelled wrong | 01:43 |
| redvamp128 | ubuntu__: or you can select the package from synaptic package manager | 01:43 |
| sharef_ | where is xorg.conf stored? | 01:43 |
| DJNomad | sup all | 01:43 |
| bazhang | ubuntu__, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 01:43 |
| scopecreep | torrents have built in checksuming but you could have a bad torrent, so check the main ubuntu/kubuntu/etc site | 01:43 |
| scopecreep | and does anyone have the link handy for disabling the darn pc speaker beep | 01:43 |
| nerdshark | right | 01:43 |
| Harold_pa | security.ubuntu.com is still down, anyone know where one might report this? | 01:43 |
| nerdshark | scopecreep: rmmod pc_spkr | 01:43 |
| redvamp128 | ubuntu__: also check in your software sources that you have - multiverse enabled | 01:43 |
| nerdshark | disables the entire thing | 01:44 |
| ubuntu__ | bazhang> the second time i spelled it right | 01:44 |
| redvamp128 | ubuntu__: open your software sources and make sure that restricted and multiverse are checkmarked | 01:44 |
| sharef_ | xorg.conf's location anyone? | 01:44 |
| epictetus | 01 9`, | 01:44 |

| yanko | guys i need some hel | 01:46 |
| hmw | Swish - i cant connect there, too. Maybe overloaded? | 01:46 |
| redvamp128 | ubuntu__: which version of ubuntu are you running (I think that is why it can't find the packages- you don't have multiverse envabled) and is therefore restricted to gnome packages- | 01:46 |
| yanko | help** | 01:46 |
| Swish | hmw, I guess so? :) | 01:46 |
| cedeel | !ask | yanko | 01:46 |

| donavan_ | anyone done anything with samba ... im trying to set it up but I cant find a good howto | 01:46 |
| ubuntu__ | redvamp128 8.10 | 01:46 |
| yanko | i cant use skype on ubuntu 8.10, apperantlly the mic does not work? how do i fix it? | 01:46 |
| Swish | can _anyone_ do a successfull apt-get update? | 01:46 |
| DigitalKiwi | tritium: spai! | 01:46 |
| sharef_ | donavan_ samba shares are automaticaly set up with the gnome desktop's share tab | 01:47 |
| DJNomad | apt get update stalls on me right now | 01:47 |
| brunner | is there any configuration I need to do in order to get sendmail to work, or will it work out of the box? | 01:47 |
| DJNomad | on the security part | 01:47 |
| hmw | Swish - there seem to be several problems with ubuntu these days, e.g. i couldnt install network manager... strange... | 01:47 |
| scientes | is security.ubuntu.com down? | 01:47 |
| redvamp128 | ubuntu__: do you have a browser to view this page? | 01:47 |
| Swish | DJNomad, hmw, okay.. then at least it's not just us. Something is broken. | 01:47 |
| yanko | hello? | 01:47 |
| DJNomad | lol yeah Swish | 01:47 |
| scientes | i guess it jsut blocks pings | 01:47 |
| hmw | scientes yes | 01:47 |
| donavan_ | sharef_ Im talking about a server I setup a raid 5 but I cant seem to figure out how to set any of the permissions and what not up | 01:47 |
| yanko | anyone can help me? | 01:47 |
| yanko | my mic does not work | 01:48 |
| Swish | well, thanks for the doublecheck guys :) | 01:48 |
| useqar | hai i am new 2 ubuntu, how do i install m$ office? | 01:48 |
| yanko | the pc does not detect sound | 01:48 |
| roy_hobbs | Why is the OpenVPN client for NetworkManager dependent on the entire OpenVPN (server) package? | 01:48 |
| hmw | yanko - maybe you need to change the device in skype's config | 01:48 |
| scopecreep | scientes, appears to be | 01:48 |
| scopecreep | reassuring eh? | 01:48 |
| sharef_ | i just use normal file permissions with ssh for manipulation | 01:48 |
| hmw | yanko - veryfiy that your mike works, by recording stuff with another app | 01:48 |
| ubuntu__ | redvamp128 what page? i only have console there | 01:48 |
| scientes | scopecreep, hmw maybe that is what just brought wikipedia down | 01:49 |
| hmw | yanko - maybe you need to enable +20db boost | 01:49 |
| yanko | well wehn i try to record the sound with the software that comes with ubuntu | 01:49 |
| DJNomad | need help mounting a flashdrive | 01:49 |
| yanko | it does not work eather | 01:49 |
| redvamp128 | ubuntu__: okay real simple -- /etc/apt/sources.list take out the # before the restricted and the multiverse (you have to sudo then open them with whatever availble text editor you have) | 01:49 |
| evilGUI | I'm getting these in my auth.log? Successful su for fwanalog by root, + ??? root:fwanalog | 01:50 |
| hmw | yanko - then its not one of the usual skype problems. check mixer settings (enable every slider and play around, maybe you need to use "capture" or "capture mircophone"), check if the mike is plugged in at the right place. | 01:50 |
| useqar | i need m$ word for school and i cant figure out how to install it | 01:50 |
| useqar | the cd doesnt work | 01:50 |
| redvamp128 | ubuntu__: though I would use this command first -- to back up the original sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup | 01:50 |
| * nerdshark cedes defeat. | 01:50 | |
| SquareHimself | defeat? | 01:50 |
| tritium | troll_count-- | 01:51 |
| opera | ！X | 01:51 |
| hmw | useqar - one possibility would be to use a virtual machine with windows - "virtualbox" | 01:51 |
| redvamp128 | ubuntu__: did you get all that? | 01:51 |
| ubuntu__ | zes | 01:51 |
| ubuntu__ | yes | 01:51 |
| useqar | hmw: virtual machine? | 01:51 |
| cedeel | useqar: what does OOo not do? | 01:51 |
| DigitalKiwi | or wine | 01:51 |
| useqar | cedeel: whats OOo? | 01:51 |
| evilGUI | Anyone have any idea what ??? root: means? | 01:51 |
| DigitalKiwi | openoffice.org | 01:51 |
| ubuntu__ | but i had kde before already without restricted | 01:51 |
| elduchy | hi there | 01:51 |
| useqar | sorry im new | 01:51 |
| redvamp128 | ubuntu__: once you enable multiverse then do the sudo apt-get update | 01:51 |
| hmw | useqar - i overlooked, that the cd doesnt work. define "doesnt work" more detailed, pls | 01:51 |
| sharef_ | office doesnt like wine | 01:51 |
| opera | what means the 'x' in the computer | 01:51 |
| redvamp128 | ubuntu__: then it should be able to find/install kubuntu-desktop | 01:52 |
| sharef_ | iv tried | 01:52 |
| useqar | hmw: well i try to put in the m$ office cd and it dont install | 01:52 |
| cedeel | useqar: OpenOffice.org | 01:52 |
| * DigitalKiwi prefers abiword to openoffice write | 01:52 | |
| useqar | ok, how do i install openofifce.org? | 01:52 |
| cedeel | Isn't it already? | 01:52 |
| sharef_ | openoffice comes standard with current distros | 01:53 |
| useqar | it does? | 01:53 |
| useqar | i dont see it | 01:53 |
| hmw | useqar - if you have a windows setup cd, then you will find virtual box quite handy, no messing around with stubborn apps. another hint: winetricks helps installing stubborn apps, too. (virtual box is a simulated pc within a window, you can boot the virtual machine right away from any boot cd) | 01:53 |

| brunner | can anyone please help me getting sendmail working? | 01:53 |
| evilGUI | I installed fwanalog a while back, could that be why I'm having these odd messeges? | 01:53 |

| brunner | I'm trying to send an email via php | 01:54 |
| useqar | they said to install m$ word | 01:54 |
| useqar | cuz its better | 01:54 |
| hmw | brunner - AFAIK sendmail is not trivial. And your mails wont be accepted by other computers, unless you have a domain pointing at your computer using sendmail. | 01:54 |
| tritium | cedeel: freedom is no longer free if you force it on people. You must allow freedom of choice. | 01:54 |

| useqar | so how do i install word app? | 01:55 |
| brunner | hmw: is there some way to get sendmail to redirect everything to an SMTP server, or is there some way to get PHP to use sendmail? | 01:55 |
| brunner | hmw: rather, is there some way to get PHP to use an SMTP server? | 01:55 |
| hmw | brunner - thats exactly what i wanted. i gave up, because i dont know the whole thing really. cant help you here. a friend told me, that its not trivial, i fear you will have to RTFM | 01:55 |
| cedeel | tritium: I thought useqar might not be aware of OpenOffice's potential | 01:56 |
| bazhang | useqar, what version of ubuntu? or is it a variant such as xubuntu, or a ubuntu-based distro | 01:56 |
| usser | brunner, yea you can configure it to act as a relay if im not mistaken, its been awhile and i did it with exim not sendmail | 01:56 |
| _niko | _VIM_: If you around, Thanks fyour you help I got there server up, now i just have to figure how to use it! Thakns again | 01:56 |
| useqar | bazhang: its the ubuntu from the website. | 01:56 |
| useqar | bazhang: whatever is new | 01:56 |

The only problem is i can't download it while running linux because i can't setup wifi, is there a way to download it using windows where i have internet and open it when i run Ubuntu? So sharing files in a way with 2 different OS. | 02:07 |
| Pici | !pt | big | 02:07 |
| ubottu | big: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 02:07 |
| hmw | f_newton - i didnt get upset. i usually do not use away nicks. my answer was meant, as i typed it. *g* | 02:07 |
| big | obrigado | 02:08 |
| * hmw is master of patience. | 02:08 | |
| f_newton | I dont know from away nicks... some of the nicks people use are downright stupid but its not for me to ridicule them... | 02:08 |
| hmw | f_newton using away nicks floods the channel, thats why they dont want us to use such here. | 02:08 |
| f_newton | how? do they auto repeat away msgs? that should not happen unless set | 02:09 |
| ibuclaw | hmw, using bots to tell you that away nicks floods the channel floods the channel :) | 02:09 |
| f_newton | yeah | 02:09 |
| hmw | f_newton - if i change my nick, it will show up in this chat. thats the "flood" | 02:09 |
| tritium | f_newton, hmw: continuing the offtopic discussion of away nicks also floods the channel | 02:09 |
| Pici | Can we please keep it on topic here. This is a support channel. | 02:09 |

| Banjo_ | Ok thanks ill try that then | 02:11 |

| bbp72 | Hi I wanted to know if someone can point me to a documentation to configure elisa mediacenter with upnp server thanks | 02:11 |

| redvamp128 | Banjo_: try this link Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- wifi-radar <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wifi-radar&searchon=names&suite=intrepid&section=all> | 02:11 |

| nick | hmw: he can also download the source code and build it himself. there are lots of solutions | 02:12 |
| doc`` | the program is a windows program running via wine | 02:12 |
| doc`` | forgot to say that | 02:12 |
| MidnightDevil | heya | 02:12 |
| redvamp128 | Banjo_: that will download the .deb- though I would also check the dependencies and download them just to be sure- then either put them on a usb drive or burn them to a cd. | 02:12 |
| DPCP | usser: sudo apt-get install aplay. E: COuldn't find package aplay. | 02:12 |
| MidnightDevil | this will sound like a dumb question.. but i have created a shortcut of my home folder in my desktop.. how can i change the icon? | 02:13 |
| Banjo_ | Ok cheers | 02:13 |
| usser | DPCP, its built in | 02:13 |
| redvamp128 | Banjo_: wait hold on that was for intrepid - this is for dapper Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- wifi-radar <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wifi-radar&searchon=names&suite=dapper&section=all> | 02:13 |
| hmw | MidnightDevil - right click, properties, click onto the icon | 02:13 |
| usser | DPCP, on the terminal type aplay filename.wav | 02:13 |
| MidnightDevil | i dont have icon there hmw | 02:13 |
| MidnightDevil | Emblems tho | 02:13 |
| tritium | DPCP: it's part of alsa-utils. You don't install it separately | 02:13 |
| redvamp128 | Banjo_: Sorry forgot to change the search filter -- I hope you got the last one Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- wifi-radar <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wifi-radar&searchon=names&suite=dapper&section=all> | 02:13 |

| sharef_ | DPCP check if pulseaudio is installed | 02:14 |
| Banjo_ | ACtually i think i got it | 02:14 |
| Syco54645 | hello, i am having a problem with the bar at the top of my window turning white and the text disappearing. any way to fix this? i think it is related to compiz | 02:14 |
| ezzieyguywuf | i'm pretty sure I have 3gb of physical memory installed on my lenovo thinkpad t6op, but ubuntu is only showing 2 gb | 02:14 |
| hmw | MidnightDevil - uh... properties, first page ("basic") should show the icon left to the "name" - or not?? | 02:14 |
| DPCP | sharef_ I'm a noob here, how do I check that? | 02:14 |
| usser | DPCP, run pulseaudio if its not running, pulseaudio -d | 02:14 |
| sharef_ | yeah, that | 02:15 |
| redvamp128 | Banjo_: yes then select a mirror should then save a .deb to which you can transfer over to the machine you need it on. | 02:15 |
| rrplay | Jakal, try top | 02:15 |
| Banjo_ | I downloaded a zip, it might be iin there, | 02:15 |
| sharef_ | if you wanna see if its installed run sudo apt-cache search pulseaudio | 02:15 |
| === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- | ||
| DPCP | Getting it now. | 02:15 |
| tritium | sharef_: apt-cache doesn't require sudo, and it doens't tell you what's installed. | 02:15 |
| sharef_ | hmmm | 02:16 |
| sharef_ | thats what iv used it for | 02:16 |
| tritium | sharef_: apt-cache policy does, but not apt-cache search | 02:16 |
| redvamp128 | Banjo_: I would go with the .deb since possibly the .zip has the source files- then you would have to compile | 02:16 |
| egaudet | What is the best way to stream media to my xbox 360 | 02:16 |
| DPCP | usser sharef: K I have pulseaudio, so now just type pulseaudio -d? | 02:16 |
| Banjo_ | Ok | 02:16 |
| sharef_ | ill look into that more | 02:16 |
| tritium | sharef_: otherwise, use dpkg -l | 02:16 |
| hmw | egaudet - maybe VLC. | 02:16 |
| usser | DPCP, yes try it | 02:16 |
| ezzieyguywuf | egaudet: check mediatomb | 02:16 |
| MidnightDevil | hmw: oh got it! thank u! | 02:16 |
| redvamp128 | Banjo_: Ubuntu -- Package Download Selection -- wifi-radar_1.9.6-0ubuntu4_all.deb <http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/all/wifi-radar/download> then just select a mirror to download | 02:16 |
| DPCP | E: main.c: Failed to parse command line. | 02:16 |
| egaudet | is mediatomb good, i've read good things about it in forums but in the package installer it's rated as 1 star | 02:17 |
| ezzieyguywuf | i'm pretty sure I have 3gb of physical memory installed on my lenovo thinkpad t6op, but ubuntu is only showing 2 gb. can anyone help me check this and activate all my physical memory? | 02:17 |
| Banjo_ | Thankyou redvamp128 i was on the wrong page =[ | 02:17 |
| egaudet | I have VLC but haven't been able to get the dumb 360 to see my pc | 02:17 |
| ezzieyguywuf | egaudet: i've used it for the playstation and it seems to work fine. its not that hard to setup either there are some good walkthroughs online | 02:17 |
| redvamp128 | Banjo_: generally I find if something is in .zip then usually you find source inside them- | 02:17 |
| Banjo_ | Yeh i think it di | 02:17 |
| Banjo_ | did* | 02:18 |
| hmw | egaudet - can you connect via IP address? | 02:18 |
| Banjo_ | Ok ill try this now brb, thanks for the help | 02:18 |
| egaudet | i will try mediatomb, check it out, thanks ezzie. | 02:18 |

| ScUlHaMb4dO | Hello, Is there a way to disable the volume up/down OSD, it crashes here. I've seen people reporting this in other foruns, but no answer. | 02:18 |

| Orudu | Hi everyone I have a quick question! | 02:19 |
| egaudet | hmw, I am in my xbox 360 dashboard attempting to "find computers" | 02:19 |
| Orudu | what is the difference between: ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso and ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso? | 02:19 |
| hmw | egaudet - i dont know the 360, and how the menus look. Can you enter an IP address there, or does it only show, what computers it finds? if so, enabling nmb (or nmbd, netbios name resolition) might help | 02:19 |
| usser | DPCP, try sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart | 02:19 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| Orudu | I suppose the first one is for AMD processes? | 02:19 |
| usser | DPCP, i dont have it so i dont know the exact command to restart/run it | 02:19 |
| person_ | it's the type of system, orudu | 02:19 |
| DasEi | Orudu:first is for 64bit, second for 32 | 02:19 |
| rrplay | Orudu, 64 bit and 32 bit | 02:19 |
| ScUlHaMb4dO | Orudu, yeah, for AMD 6e CPUs | 02:19 |
| egaudet | hmw, it just "auto" finds your pc.. MS and their wonderful world of MS only | 02:19 |
| ScUlHaMb4dO | 64 bits ones | 02:19 |
| hmw | egaudet - most probably you just need to install the nmb | 02:19 |
| DasEi | Orudu:the 64 bit installs on intel, too | 02:20 |
| Pici | ScUlHaMb4dO: Most 64 bit processors fit the AMD64 specification. | 02:20 |
| egaudet | hmw, what is nmb? | 02:20 |
| Orudu | how do you know if your computer is 64 or 32 bit? | 02:20 |
| DPCP | usser: when I entered it it didn't do anything, like it didn't bring up an extra line etc, but yeah it's alright if you don't. | 02:20 |
| ScUlHaMb4dO | Orudu, are you using ubuntu right now? | 02:20 |
| DasEi | Orudu: do a lspci from live cd | 02:20 |
| hmw | egaudet - netbios name resolution (similar to DNS) | 02:20 |
| person_ | i have a problem, i can't get smplayer to play the audio in a few anime videos i have, here's the file info:[Eclipse] Toaru Majutsu no Index - 09 (1280x720 h264) [3F8C5CD4].mkv: Matroska data. it works in vlc and mplayer, but not smplayer | 02:20 |
| person_ | anyone? | 02:20 |
| DPCP | usser: btw, running xubuntu. | 02:20 |
| person_ | i installed x264 and lib264-dev | 02:21 |
| person_ | that didn't work | 02:21 |
| egaudet | hmw, so you believe if i install that on my ubuntu pc | 02:21 |
| Orudu | no my installation is complete, but I cannot get into ubuntu. I suppose it's the GUI interface so I'm getting the alternate download | 02:21 |
| ScUlHaMb4dO | Hello, Is there a way to disable the volume up/down OSD, it crashes here. I've seen people reporting this in other foruns, but no answer. | 02:21 |
| person_ | how do you add codecs to smplayer? ;/ | 02:21 |
| hmw | egaudet - right. i dont know exactly how the name is in ubuntu (dont have one here), find it in synaptic, look for "netbios" and "name resolution" (or similar) | 02:22 |
| hmw | egaudet - it should be sudo apt-get install nmb / or nmbd | 02:22 |
| hmw | egaudet - it also should come with samba | 02:23 |
| redvamp128 | ScUlHaMb4dO: I would goto system- preferences- then keyboard shortcuts -- find the shortcuts for those keys and set them for nothing- the sound Volume-mute/down/up | 02:23 |
| egaudet | hmw, ok i'll try that as well. thanks for the help | 02:23 |
| hmw | egaudet - i hope it works *g* tell me, when you know | 02:23 |
| IIIIIIIIIIII | d | 02:24 |
| redvamp128 | ScUlHaMb4dO: I would also set everthing in the sound to nothing there.. that should disable the OSD for volume and keys for those things. | 02:24 |
| Uzziel__ | is there a way to rotate the screen besides xrandr? | 02:24 |

| ScUlHaMb4dO | redvamp128, but I would like to make it works increasing and decreasing the volume, i just dont want the popup to show up | 02:25 |

| redvamp128 | ScUlHaMb4dO: I don't know how to turn that off-- other than just disabling the keys themselves. | 02:26 |
| D3RGPS31 | DasEi: i don't have anything to burn :/ | 02:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | D3RGPS31 You wont get it from windows | 02:26 |

| thomc | DasEi, won't that end all the programs I was running before I logged off. | 02:38 |
| hmw | thomc DasEi - it would. maybe the startx really does the trick (never tried) | 02:38 |
| thomc | hmw mikewu, yes, that sounds like a plausible solution. I'll try it. | 02:39 |
| aprilhare | re | 02:39 |
| _VIM_ | thomc: mikewu is correct, ive done it before | 02:39 |
| mikewu | thomc: startx -- :1 should work | 02:40 |
| DasEi | thomc: multiple users can do different tasked at the same time, only restricted by ressources, so there is a way, maybe restarting loginmanager from terminal does the trick | 02:40 |

| NigelS | trepan_: a useful command to save yourself from hunting for libs if, for example, you're trying to build a newer version of a program than is in the repos is to use the apt-get build-dep command which will fetch all the build dependencies for you. so, for example, apt-get build-dep kate would fetch everything needed to build kate | 03:09 |

| hmw | siropio - you need to download the iso and mount it into the virtual machine. Just read the text, vbox shows you, and you should find a link to the download. | 03:15 |
| McShane | siropio, start up the guest OS and choose the Guest Additions option at the bottom of the Devices menu | 03:15 |
| cyberjorge | i've tried that but still needs more time to do it | 03:15 |

| tisi | Encountering an odd problem... programs (eg dpkg) report 'No space left on device'; however `df -ah` reports ample remaining space for all file systems. Perhaps a sparse file or other such oddity? | 03:19 |
| exodus_ms | tensei, try this --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/120846/ basically 'for just now' comment out the security sources and try to run sudo apt-get update | 03:19 |
| jtaji | meoblast001: you put bobthebuilder in the user column in /etc/crontab in the line you add there | 03:19 |
| seudanb | will KZenExplorer work for transferring mp3s to an mp3 player | 03:19 |
| weshley | jtaji; i dont know if using the ubuntu apt is the safest bet i'll do a remove then compile it from my home dir and configure and run it there | 03:19 |

| Harold_pa | yeh it was strange hey | 03:25 |
| Harold_pa | down for a few hours i noticed | 03:26 |
| chu_ | Yeah, I actually updated pretty much the second you said it was online :p | 03:26 |
| bazhang | qcjn, you need to change sources.list per the following link (see gutsyupgrades) | 03:26 |
| bazhang | !upgrade | qcjn | 03:26 |
| ubottu | qcjn: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 03:26 |
| qcjn | bazhang: what must i do, go and erase | 03:26 |
| qcjn | thanks | 03:26 |
| exodus_ms | tensei, yeah, you seem to be able to connect to your other sources in your sources.list. the site that updates the security might be very busy right now, trying a different server might help, which is what you just did | 03:26 |
| usser | Harold_pa, thats the second time security.ubuntu.com goes down in two months | 03:26 |
| Musfuut | tritium> did you happen to mean the section on python packaging in the wiki? that seems to be the closest, the rest deals with creating source packages. thanks btw | 03:27 |
| tritium | Musfuut: no, the MOTU packaging guide | 03:28 |
| tensei | exodus_ms: that fixed it | 03:28 |
| qcjn | bazhang: i have hardy, so is it the same thing ?? | 03:28 |

| Harold_pa | aye thats true | 03:31 |
| Harold_pa | i wonder what the reason is | 03:31 |
| qcjn | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/120855/ | 03:32 |
| seudanb | i have a zune mp3 player and i cant figure out how to configure it, any help? | 03:32 |
| Musfuut | tritium> seems that took me back to the same thing, but if you say it is there then I will have a good read and see if I learn something, thanks :) | 03:32 |
| Rozen | No, thanks for teleling me I will ask over there :). | 03:32 |
| Rozen | telling* | 03:33 |
| meoblast001 | jtaji: ok..... now that i'm sane, could you help me figure out these numbers one more time | 03:33 |
| tritium | Musfuut: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide | 03:33 |
| bazhang | qcjn, you need to comment out (put a # in front) of lines 40 and 41 save then update | 03:33 |
| qcjn | bazhang: ok | 03:33 |
| bazhang | qcjn, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:33 |
| jtaji | meoblast001: here's a good summary with examples, I'll gladly answer futher questions http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/crontab.htm | 03:34 |
| qcjn | bazhang: ok | 03:34 |
| bazhang | qcjn, what is line 60 | 03:34 |
| qcjn | bazhang: it's back in time back up app | 03:34 |
| bazhang | qcjn, for hardy? | 03:34 |
| Musfuut | tritium> sorry, please don't get annoyed at me... that is what I was looking at, the complete guide starts with compiling from source, then the next parts assure those steps have been followed, etc. a small section on python packaging. can the midway section be done without completing the former section? | 03:35 |
| qcjn | bazhang: we ll i think so ?? unless i made an error | 03:35 |
| bazhang | qcjn, just wanted to be sure | 03:36 |
| qcjn | bazhang: ok | 03:36 |
| Musfuut | I'll read over this though | 03:36 |
| bazhang | qcjn, best to be certain about 3rd party repos as they are known to cause issues at times | 03:36 |
| tritium | Musfuut: you can package any files | 03:36 |

| el_chupa | DasEi: dont have the router's wep key handy so that would be a royal pain | 03:44 |
| hmw | arooni - default?? how do you want to start editing? you usually type "vim <filename>", and there is no such thing as default | 03:44 |
| Hammerjak | phylwx, can you open a terminal in ubuntu and type 'ifconfig' | 03:44 |
| _VIM_ | meoblast001: try gnome-schedule its a GUI for cron | 03:44 |
| mikewu | arooni: stick export EDITOR=vi in your .bashrc | 03:44 |
| DasEi | phylwx: ifconfig on ubu tells ip, but also see : | 03:44 |
| DasEi | !samba | 03:44 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 03:44 |
| arooni | mike3, thats it | 03:44 |
| arooni | mikewu, rather | 03:44 |
| meoblast001 | _VIM_: my server is set to not run GNOME at startup | 03:45 |

| dixon208 | I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.10 on a laptop - Compaq Presario V2000 cant get past 45% install | 03:45 |
| dixon208 | any tips? | 03:45 |
| _VIM_ | meoblast001: you dont have any GUI at all? | 03:45 |
| phylwx | thanks DasEi! | 03:45 |
| [M]Maxwell | dixon208: im having the same problem | 03:45 |
| [M]Maxwell | dixon208: is there a error message that you get? | 03:45 |
| dixon208 | not sure | 03:45 |
| phylwx | im gonna give it a try right now | 03:45 |
| dixon208 | booting from the sidk | 03:45 |
| bazhang | dixon208, md5 the iso yet? what about disk integrity check after a slow burn of iso to cd | 03:45 |
| dixon208 | *disk | 03:45 |
| [M]Maxwell | dixon208: is it stuck at a status bar? | 03:45 |
| meoblast001 | _VIM_: i do but if GUI needs to be started for this application to do it's job, it wont work as i don't have GNOME on autostart | 03:45 |
| dixon208 | no | 03:45 |
| el_chupa | k | 03:45 |
| linos | Hello everyone, I know that ubuntu edgy is no longer supported, but I would like to update my system. Is that still possible or do I need to start clean and install Hardy? | 03:46 |
| hmw | mikewu arooni - how does the var EDITOR make something default? maybe you give me an exanoke | 03:46 |
| qcjn | bazhang: why gksudo instead of just sudo | 03:46 |
| dixon208 | it goes to the install screen | 03:46 |
| DasEi | el_chupa:can you see the win parti/it's devicename (like /dev/sda1) ? | 03:46 |
| bazhang | !md5 | dixon208 | 03:46 |
| ubottu | dixon208: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 03:46 |
| dixon208 | and after 45% it goes to a blank desktop | 03:46 |
| mikewu | hmw: some programs open files for you to edit. If you don't set the editor variable it usually uses nano | 03:46 |
| bazhang | qcjn, for graphical apps | 03:46 |
| mikewu | hmw: for example crontab -e will open a temporary file | 03:46 |
| qcjn | bazhang: ok | 03:46 |
| hmw | mikewu - aah. ic, thx | 03:46 |
| _VIM_ | meoblast001: ah ok then | 03:46 |
| bazhang | dixon208, sounds like a bad burn or a corrupt iso | 03:46 |
| mikewu | hmw: EDITOR will set which editor it will use | 03:46 |
| [M]Maxwell | k well im trying to install 8.10 on my Sony VAIO F490 - PIII 650 MHz - 15 " - 128 MB Ram - 18.1 GB HDD and i cant even get to the install screen. | 03:47 |
| bazhang | [M]Maxwell, then you should follow along with what dixon208 is doing | 03:47 |
| el_chupa | DasEi: yes | 03:47 |
| qcjn | bazhang: like GEDIT, cause usually with Gedit i just use sudo..?? | 03:48 |
| DasEi | el_chupa:so which ? | 03:48 |
| [M]Maxwell | bazhang: its a different problem | 03:48 |
| [M]Maxwell | bazhang: i can already tell | 03:48 |
| * zelrikriando hates gedit | 03:48 | |
| bazhang | qcjn, gedit is graphical so gksudo | 03:48 |
| Johnny5 | Can someone help me with this error: revoco.c: In function ‘usage’: | 03:48 |
| Johnny5 | revoco.c:489: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘VERSION’ | 03:48 |
| el_chupa | /dev/sda1 | 03:48 |
| [M]Maxwell | i dont even have a OS installed on the HDD yet lmao | 03:48 |
| DasEi | el_chupa:sudo mkdir /mnt/windooze | 03:48 |
| Johnny5 | I'm trying to compile a program and I don't know what it's about. | 03:48 |
| StephSD3 | if you use sudo with gedit you can't read it as a "normal" user.. | 03:48 |
| qcjn | bazhang: ok, thanks | 03:48 |
| meoblast001 | does this look like a good /etc/crontab http://rafb.net/p/u0OYoC23.html | 03:49 |
| DasEi | el_chupa:sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/windooze | 03:49 |
| McShane | [M]Maxwell, that's a pretty old computer to be installing 8.10 on -- no offense | 03:49 |
| DasEi | el_chupa:cd /mnt/windooze | 03:49 |
| weshley | I am getting configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables while ./configure (not in root) I also use Kconfigure to see if that would work and get the same error there as well | 03:49 |
| DasEi | el_chupa:ls | 03:49 |
| DasEi | el_chupa:files there ? | 03:50 |
| [M]Maxwell | McShane: i know thats why im putting linux on it, but if 8.04 is working perfectly shouldnt this? | 03:50 |
| McShane | [M]Maxwell, i wouldn't be surprised if that was the source of your trouble, u | 03:50 |
| tritium | weshley: you've not installed build-essential | 03:50 |
| McShane | [M]Maxwell, that's a good point | 03:50 |
| bazhang | [M]Maxwell, you are updating from hardy? | 03:50 |
| bazhang | [M]Maxwell, using the live cd? | 03:50 |
| [M]Maxwell | Nope i completely wiped the hdd | 03:50 |
| [M]Maxwell | im using the disk i burned. | 03:50 |
| bazhang | [M]Maxwell, and md5 and integrity check all passed? | 03:51 |
| weshley | k thanks tritium, no i havnt, didnt know i had to from a fresh cd install | 03:51 |
| McShane | [M]Maxwell, it's possible that the ISO was burned to the CD with errors -- did you verify the MD5 sum? | 03:51 |
| [M]Maxwell | McShane: well this is the second cd i have tryed both from different download sources so i dont think so | 03:51 |
| McShane | [M]Maxwell, you can do that from the Live CD startup menu | 03:51 |
| DasEi | McShane: [M]Maxwell: and also verify medium (bootoption) | 03:51 |
| [M]Maxwell | McShane: idd ill try that now | 03:52 |
| bazhang | [M]Maxwell, you did the md5 or not? | 03:52 |
| [M]Maxwell | Im doing it now. | 03:52 |
| mikewu | meoblast001: it should work if braden has permissions to execute /opt/services/services | 03:52 |
| bazhang | so likely the exact same issue | 03:52 |
| meoblast001 | mikewu: yes...... now a new problem has emmerged (dont make me spell right)..... i moved /home/braden/services to /opt/services and i get strange error messages | 03:52 |
| DasEi | el_chupa:can you see your win-files ? | 03:53 |
| McShane | [M]Maxwell, sometimes burning the ISO at a high speed can make burn errors more likely -- your best best is at 4x or even 2x burn speed | 03:53 |
| mikewu | meoblast001: what's the error message? | 03:53 |
| donavan01 | im trying to setup a samba server but I keep getting an error telling me that the server is not using user level security and no password is supplied ... anyone know why that is happens locally and from a remote system | 03:53 |
| meoblast001 | mikewu: i get "chdir(/home/braden/services): No such file or directory" as an error message for running /opt/services/services | 03:53 |
| [M]Maxwell | McShane: well i burned one with the default win7 ISO burner, the second with img burn freeware. | 03:53 |
| [M]Maxwell | McShane: 2 different computers so i have no idea. | 03:54 |
| DasEi | donavan01:check your /etc/samba/smb.conf and google configure samba | 03:54 |
| [M]Maxwell | the error is.. | 03:54 |
| donavan01 | yeah tried that one ... it looks right | 03:54 |
| McShane | [M]Maxwell, I'd recommend this ISO burner, for Windows: http://cdburnerxp.se/ -- that's the one I used for Ubuntu | 03:55 |
| DasEi | donavan01:sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 03:55 |

| matt___ | I have a lot of videos in a directory, was wondering if there is some sort of "media" suite, besides mythtv or something similiar, that would simply show me thumbnails of the videos | 03:56 |

| [M]Maxwell | McShane: is it fixable? | 03:56 |
| DasEi | el_chupa:? | 03:56 |
| el_chupa | DasEi: sorry. yes theyre there | 03:57 |
| McShane | [M]Maxwell: Well, you can try burning your ISO at a low speed, like 2x, allowing you to possibly bypass buffer issues | 03:57 |
| el_chupa | DasEi: thank you | 03:57 |
| DasEi | el_chupa: mind pm you, easier to follow ? | 03:57 |
| illumin8 | How do i pm the bot? | 03:57 |

| redvamp128 | illumin8: that way you can ! the bot all you want to in a pm form | 04:00 |
| redvamp128 | illumin8: was the first thought that would trigger a response from the bot | 04:00 |
| illumin8 | redvamp128, Grub is the bootloader for linux, i dont think it has details on pm to ubottu :) | 04:00 |
| illumin8 | redvamp128, Oh you had it message me, i see now thanks :) | 04:00 |
| redvamp128 | illumin8: you asked about the bot-- so I figured you could !(whatever) and get facts | 04:01 |
| bazhang | illumin8, /msg ubottu coc for example | 04:01 |
| Johnny5 | I wonder if it would help to post my error again, or if 1325 all don't know XD | 04:01 |

| illumin8 | Oh that sounded rude, i ment to add thanks after "yes i have it now" | 04:01 |

| MK-BB | hi | 04:02 |
| illumin8 | Hammerjak, Thanks thats the one i needed :D | 04:02 |
| Hammerjak | ah | 04:02 |
| redvamp128 | dirtbag666: could be that you need to open up g-parted and remove the partition info ( I am on hardy so I don't have that issue) but I do remember having to do that when I ran 8.10. | 04:03 |
| axisys | i am planning to upgrade my notebook (hp nc6220) disk.. I should be able to replace it with any notebook drive like http://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.phtml?subcategory=HF1H&sortby=match&category=HF1&web_group=byopc_hd& | 04:03 |
| redvamp128 | dirtbag666: I had to do that when I switched my secondary drive- | 04:04 |
| axisys | correct? | 04:04 |
| DasEi | donavan01:in the first overview it look corrects, maybe enable wins support, and also the sambauser must have a regular account on the machine you try to log on to / a basic samba config is much shorter and can be found on net easily | 04:04 |
| illumin8 | Hammerjak, Thanks again, had a device error due to labels. Was a big help :) | 04:04 |

| jhonnyboy | Hello everyone. I have set up a printer that i am sharing over a windows network. I have set up the configuration on ubuntu through samba. Would i need to install samba on the windows machine as well? The windows machine is the one with that has the printer installed. | 04:07 |
| hmw | jhonnyboy - windows already has the smb protocol installed | 04:07 |
| jhonnyboy | haw: do i need to edit the preferences? | 04:08 |

| === Sabie is now known as Cristiiii | ||
| jhonnyboy | because when i print nothing happens :( | 04:08 |
| Lymies | when i try to install opera it says E: Package opera has no installation candidate | 04:08 |
| hmw | jhonnyboy - if your win doesnt see your linux smb, you will probably need nmb (netbios name resolution) | 04:08 |
| jhonnyboy | and i install nmb on the linux machine? | 04:08 |
| Cristiiii | I have win xp - win 7 dual boot ! I want ubuntu to make triple- boot. Can I do that ?? :) | 04:08 |
| BehiiMehii | I have Vista installed on my computer, how do I create an Ubuntu partition and have it share the harddrive space (so I could access all files) with the Windows partition? | 04:08 |
| donavan01 | DasEi ... can I use the main account for the user or do I need to create a completely new on ... this is going to be a NAS box connected directly to my desktop ... securty isnt much of an issue | 04:08 |
| usser | Cristiiii, yes sure | 04:08 |
| Cristiiii | ok | 04:08 |
| redvamp128 | dirtbag666: just see if it is listed in the g-parted --partition editor -- also you may want to use that to format the partition. also if that does not work -- check your fstab file to see if the partion is still listed there. | 04:09 |
| usser | Cristiiii, start installing ubuntu it will detect windows's | 04:09 |
| BehiiMehii | Cristiiii you can, you'd just have to take away some space so you could fit it on a third one | 04:09 |
| hmw | jhonnyboy - well... that seems not to be the problem, then. nmb is only needed to make your machines visible in the workgroup. you can always connect via IP address. I dont know about printers, sry. | 04:09 |
| ziroday | BehiiMehii: well you can partition your system and have ubuntu run on one partition and windows on the other, ubuntu will be able to access the windows files | 04:09 |
| maza | hola | 04:09 |
| nickrud | BehiiMehii, you can use the disk manager in the adminstrative tools in vista | 04:09 |
| weshley | ive done an apt-get install tcl and apt-get install tcllib, am I missing something here? both installed but when I try to do ./configure for eggdrop it says it requires TCL and maybe it didnt look in the right place for it so do ./configure --with--tcllib='/path/to/libtcl.so' and --with-tclinc='/path/to/tcl.h' options is there a package tcl install i should have done, i did isntall tcl first then after i got this message the first tim | 04:09 |
| Cristiiii | Yeah, but isn't a problem with 4 Primary partitions ? | 04:09 |
| jhonnyboy | Thanks :) | 04:09 |
| dirtbag666 | redvamp128: thanks so far, I'll give it a try | 04:09 |
| mikewu | Lymies: go to the opera site, they have a .deb file you can download | 04:09 |

| ubottu | maza: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 04:10 |
| nickrud | Cristiiii, not by any definition; it's just that if you want more later you have to delete the last primary and make it a logical | 04:10 |
| dirtbag666 | redvamp128: qtparted gets stuck at "100%" and "Scanning all drive partition" (translated from German, may sound slightly different originally) | 04:10 |
| BehiiMehii | ziroday, nickrud: would that require them to be in different format, like Windows as an NTFS and Linux on something else, or can I have them both the same so I could browse among the files freely? | 04:10 |
| Cristiiii | aham | 04:10 |
| Cristiiii | thank u guys | 04:11 |
| redvamp128 | dirtbag666: I thought you may have had that issue I had before--with 8.10 where I took a drive out and replaced it and it kept telling me to do a check on the file system- Though I think something didn't take with the qtparted | 04:11 |
| maza | buttttt | 04:11 |
| Cristiiii | I'll give it a try ! | 04:11 |
| ziroday | BehiiMehii: ubuntu will be in the ext3 format, now ubuntu can read your windows files but windows can't read them back | 04:11 |
| === MK is now known as Guest60414 | ||
| nickrud | BehiiMehii, you can't use ntfs as the ubuntu partition, however ubuntu will read ntfs no problem and you can install the fs-driver.org ext2 driver to read ubuntu | 04:11 |

| illumin8 | what exaclty is the diffirence between GTK and Gnome? | 04:12 |
| dirtbag666 | redvamp128: I guess, there's a very simple solution for this, I just do not understand, why cfdisk tells me other information about my partition table than parted :-D | 04:12 |
| nickrud | maza, type /join #ubuntu-es , they speak spanish and are smart too :) | 04:12 |
| BehiiMehii | Is there any way of having Windows read files saved on Ubuntu? | 04:12 |
| nickrud | BehiiMehii, install the driver from fs-driver.org | 04:12 |
| McShane | BehiiMehii, http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 04:12 |
| lstarnes | illumin8: gtk is just the widget toolkit, which includes things like buttons and menus, but gnome is a whole desktop environment which makes heavy use of gtk | 04:12 |
| nickrud | BehiiMehii, into vista, of course | 04:12 |
| redvamp128 | dirtbag666: if it is not installed then try gparted should be in your synaptic package manger - and if that does not work -- I think the default location is /etc/fstab | 04:12 |
| BehiiMehii | Wait, I thought fs-driver was so Ubuntu could read Windows files | 04:13 |
| hmw | victorbrca - it should not matter really. put stuff like echo "1" to one of the files and echo "2" to the other, to see, which is called first, if you are concerned about the order of execution | 04:13 |
| dirtbag666 | redvamp128: seems like the main problem is a little bug in qtparted: The status window with the progress bar just won't close if i "delete" using right-click menu. But it works nice using the menu bar | 04:13 |
| nickrud | BehiiMehii, no, ubuntu does that without any extra drivers | 04:13 |
| CoffeeBean | illumin8: there are no difference. | 04:13 |
| maza | thanksssssss | 04:13 |
| CoffeeBean | Gtk is part of gnome. | 04:13 |

| victorbrca | hmw: just wanted to make sure its within the system accordance | 04:13 |
| rww | illumin8: GNOME is a desktop envionment whose programs and components use the GTK graphics toolkit. | 04:14 |
| illumin8 | So if im installing applications Gnome and GTK would be pretty much the same thing? | 04:14 |

| Rozen | dirtbag 666 satanism ftw | 04:15 |

| [M]Maxwell | McShane: indeed i was, thanks, also what IRC program would you recommend for Ubuntu, im almost positive mIRC isnt compatible | 04:16 |
| illumin8 | crdlb, so basicly gtk pure applications=speed, because of lower dependencies ? | 04:16 |
| === Guest38536 is now known as MK-BB | ||
| McShane | [M]Maxwell, you *may* be able to fix the buffer issue by swapping the drive's data cable, but it's more likely that the drive needs to be replaced | 04:16 |
| DasEi | Mr__Mackee:so check your keyboard settings then | 04:16 |

| Th0rz | server1:/etc/apache2$ sudo apt-get reinstall apache2.2-common | 04:24 |
| Th0rz | E: Invalid operation reinstall | 04:24 |
| CoffeeBean | illumin8 yep | 04:24 |
| DasEi | donavan01: smbclient //192.168.1.103/raid --user=raid also no fw installed ?(man smbclient, ufw disable on the share-side) | 04:24 |
| dirtbag666 | Th0rz: Try install --reinstall | 04:24 |
| nickrud | Th0rz, sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2.2-common (apt-get had some command changes, I assumed ;) | 04:24 |
| redvamp128 | dirtbag666: I would not know that-- I think that is the /etc/fstab file-- but I don't have well enough working knowledge to tell you what to do there | 04:24 |
| MK-BB | Help?? | 04:25 |
| illumin8 | CoffeeBean, hmm thats more customized than what i did sorry :/ | 04:25 |
| Th0rz | nickrud it ran but still nothing | 04:25 |
| nickrud | MK-BB, did you see my last? | 04:25 |
| hmw | dirtbag666 redvamp128 - you can change mount points quite easily in fstab. google or manpage, if needed, for detailed info. its not hard. | 04:25 |
| redvamp128 | dirtbag666: though with gparted you should be able to manage the free space- | 04:25 |
| nickrud | Th0rz, sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart | 04:25 |
| illumin8 | CoffeeBean, did you already try to drag/drop it into themes? | 04:25 |
| MK-BB | I did that's apache not php.. | 04:26 |
| siropio | hey guys which of you have a little time to shoe me how to put those guest additions in VirtulaBox? | 04:26 |
| Th0rz | .: 197: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars | 04:26 |
| Th0rz | ERROR: APACHE_PID_FILE needs to be defined in /etc/apache2/envvars | 04:26 |
| Th0rz | apache2: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: No such file or directory | 04:26 |
| dirtbag666 | redvamp128: Right now, everything looks great. Next steps are changing mountpoint and getting KDE auto-mounter to like my new partition | 04:26 |
| nickrud | MK-BB, about php. you'd have to compile or wait for next release | 04:26 |
| arooni | my amazon web services (ec2) server cannot be pinged... but i'm NOT using iptables, ... so i'm not sure why i wouldn't be able to ping the server. ideas? | 04:26 |
| CoffeeBean | illumin8, well I already installed the gtk theme, tried the same thing with the drop shadow (the visibilitiy config), but apparently I have to get this other program to run. | 04:26 |
| redvamp128 | hmw: I have only added to mine a custom swap file and commented out the old one-- but would not know how to tell him how to do it on his sytem | 04:26 |
| Mr__Mackee | DasEi, keyboard settings are correct, ctrl + alt + d takes me to desktop & ctrl + alt + left/right changes desktops, ctrl just doesnt work in applications | 04:26 |
| unop | Th0rz, seems like you are missing an important file. did you delete it? | 04:26 |
| MK-BB | I see.. I currently hav 5.2.6 | 04:26 |
| Cristiiii | If I use mozilla back-up.. will it work on Ubuntu too ? | 04:26 |
| hmw | siropio - you need the ISO file for the guest additions CD, and "mount" it in the virtual box | 04:27 |
| hmw | siropio - did you already download the ISO? | 04:27 |
| Th0rz | unop i uninstalled when i got upset with some php so i could reinstall but it looks like i really stuffed things up | 04:27 |
| illumin8 | CoffeeBean, do you have the compiz icon installed? | 04:27 |
| MK-BB | Is there a bot or something I could search the latest release of packages?? | 04:27 |
| siropio | yea and i am already in | 04:27 |
| CoffeeBean | illimin8, yep | 04:27 |
| illumin8 | CoffeeBean, it has right click options that enable specific effects. like swapping to other managers | 04:27 |
| Xx_Gaara_xX | hi everyone i need some simple help | 04:27 |
| Th0rz | starting to think might be better if i nuke the box an reinstall but 50+ users are using it all the time lol | 04:27 |
| siropio | but the pointer is stack | 04:27 |
| cyberjorge | anyone using userful desktop multiplier? | 04:27 |
| dirtbag666 | redvamp128: fstab does not contain the recent information about the new partition right now. I guess it's created on Kubuntu startup? | 04:27 |
| nickrud | Th0rz, that is very odd. envvars is owned by apache2.2-common , reinstalling it should replace it. Try sudo apt-get purge apache2.2-common (will cause other things to uninstall, write them down and then reinstall all) | 04:28 |
| illumin8 | CoffeeBean, then im a tad lost yet again. :/ | 04:28 |
| hmw | siropio - did you already install the guest additions in the OS within the vbox? | 04:28 |
| siropio | yes | 04:28 |
| unop | Th0rz, you could reinstall all the apache packages and have the files replaced. dpkg -l | awk '/apache2/{print $2}' | xargs sudo aptitude reinstall | 04:28 |
| siropio | but nothing | 04:28 |

| unop | nickrud, ha .. i'm sure if you put your mind to it, you could beat me to pulp? :) | 04:29 |
| hmw | siropio - what OS is the virtual machine running? | 04:29 |
| CoffeeBean | illumin8, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IApYWE5W28k this link might give an idea what I want. | 04:29 |
| illumin8 | CoffeeBean, Yea it looks like what your doing is installing a theme to gtk/fluxbox from what i understand but compiz isnt allowing you to manage the drop shadow? | 04:30 |
| siropio | @hmw:OpenSolaris | 04:30 |
| nickrud | unop, maybe if I actually spent time learning awk ;( | 04:30 |
| Th0rz | got it | 04:30 |
| Th0rz | dam thing | 04:30 |
| dirtbag666 | well, thanks everyone for helping me, especially redvamp128 | 04:30 |
| hmw | siropio - hmm. never used solaris. you will have to ask in the vbox channel (dont know the right name) or ask google | 04:30 |
| dirtbag666 | Good night!!! | 04:30 |
| MK-BB | ThOrz, what was it? | 04:30 |
| Th0rz | everything :D | 04:30 |
| CoffeeBean | illumin8, I don't think it's compiz, I think there is this program I have to install (called xcompmgr) then add the settings. | 04:31 |
| MK-BB | lolz | 04:31 |
| Th0rz | purge and a reboot did it | 04:31 |
| unop | nickrud, there's only one or two things i know about awk .. i need to learn a bit more about it too | 04:31 |

| illumin8 | CoffeeBean, from the looks of that video your right. those dont look like any theme i have seen before, the focus is altered. | 04:31 |
| nickrud | unop, if I'd have spent all the time I've wasted here learning better practices I'd be very good :) | 04:31 |

| [M]Maxwell | RadicalR: if you do then you can do this easy using this vid | 04:34 |
| illumin8 | CoffeeBean, it says in the first part that its a how to guide on enabling it. | 04:34 |
| RadicalR | Well, I have a laptop | 04:34 |
| MK-BB | ThOrz, sudo apt-get install php- | 04:34 |

| MK-BB | Wow, its hard to chat with a blackberry | 04:35 |
| mosburn | mk-bb: you get used to it quickly | 04:35 |
| hmw | Xx_Gaara_xX - just like you would do in win, double click the volume icon on the top of your screen to get the mixer. enable every slider possible and play around. you might need the +20dB option. | 04:35 |

| RadicalR | Now it stalls on Configuring network interfaces | 04:36 |

| hmw | Xx_Gaara_xX you should have a sound recorder isntalled already | 04:36 |
| unop | !version | Th0rz | 04:36 |
| ubottu | Th0rz: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 04:36 |
| MK-BB | ThOrz, please just listen to me and head to http://articles.slicehost.com | 04:36 |
| nickrud | Th0rz, try what unop said first, | 04:36 |
| illumin8 | CoffeeBean, before you go off with them i suggest making backups of your files that will be altered, "It's worth mentioning, that both RENDER and Composite extentions are still in early testing." | 04:36 |
| MK-BB | Trust me it will help u.. | 04:36 |
| CoffeeBean | illumin8, right... thanks! | 04:36 |

| iykrichie | hi everyone | 04:45 |
| iykrichie | pls i need to know if the image download in the ubuntu update process is relevant | 04:45 |
| nickrud | genii, time for jaunty (or even unstable) and a couple months of learning again. I've fallen just too far behind. ubuntu has made me lazy | 04:45 |
| cuddlefis | not that I know of. | 04:45 |
| illumin8 | danfg, are you looking under synaptic? | 04:46 |
| iykrichie | cos i just updated and got a new image kernel which gave me issues with connecting via wireless lan | 04:46 |
| MK-BB | Do I have to look at the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled... All the time?? | 04:46 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, it doesn't really work like that... what happens is | 04:46 |
| mikewu | danfg: you're sources.list are probably different | 04:46 |
| danfg | illumin8: yes, sorry, synaptic. damn i got confused | 04:46 |
| RadicalR | Hmm | 04:46 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, the main config file refers to sites-enabled/ | 04:46 |
| cuddlefis | msg MK-BB | 04:47 |
| Xx_Gaara_xX | Mikewu i try alsamixer -V all and capture/capture was all the way up | 04:47 |
| RadicalR | http://pastebin.com/f1c32bb11 | 04:47 |
| illumin8 | danfg, are you looking under installed apps or available? | 04:47 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, and the intent is for you to keep your sites available in sites-available, and symlink the ones you want 'activated' to sites-enabled | 04:47 |
| RadicalR | Can anyone look at this and see why I can't get xserver up and running? | 04:47 |
| MK-BB | cuddlefis, yes?? | 04:47 |
| Xx_Gaara_xX | i tested it still no sound | 04:47 |
| danfg | illumin8: i was using synaptic, search results. it shows up as available and happens to be installed | 04:48 |
| MK-BB | Ok.. I kno that I hav to do sudo a2ensite site name | 04:48 |
| iykrichie | pls how do i get my wireless card driver installed again | 04:48 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, you don't have to use that system, it's just what the standard is... all you have to do is change apache2.conf to whatever you want | 04:48 |
| danfg | illumin8: so i should add the repository to the aptitude on my server, i'll look up how to do that | 04:48 |
| RadicalR | iykrichie, use ndiswrapper | 04:48 |
| illumin8 | danfg, :) | 04:48 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, see the end of that config file to see what i'm talking about | 04:48 |
| RadicalR | ndiswrapper -i name.inf | 04:48 |
| danfg | illumin8: thanks btw | 04:49 |
| MK-BB | Rdw200169, what if I'm hosting 20 domain?? | 04:49 |
| RadicalR | that will install the driver. | 04:49 |
| iykrichie | i is that a command? | 04:49 |
| illumin8 | danfg, no problem :) | 04:49 |
| MK-BB | How would I enable it?? | 04:49 |
| iykrichie | my wireless was installed initially till after an update | 04:49 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, that's fine, it doesn't matter. what *does* matter is leaving apache2.conf *generally* alone so that package upgrades won't screw up your configurations... that's why they do the whole subdirectory-config thing in the first place | 04:49 |

| mikewu | Xx_Gaara_xX: a L and a R should apear at the bottom | 04:52 |
| McShane | joshjtl, from synaptic | 04:52 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, ah, so you have all your <VirtualHost> directives, etc... in that file? | 04:52 |
| LostChain | i have used that before | 04:52 |
| McShane | LostChain, take a look at avidemux | 04:52 |
| MK-BB | In sites-avaliable | 04:53 |
| joshjtl | McShane, it's not available on mine... did you add the repository yourself? | 04:53 |
| LostChain | hmw: what i am looking for is something gui based | 04:53 |
| McShane | joshjtl, no | 04:53 |
| MK-BB | And I enable them by using a2ensite | 04:53 |
| MK-BB | and reload | 04:53 |
| joshjtl | McShane, ... you must have... | 04:53 |
| chu_ | wooo, found a fix for my laptop! | 04:53 |
| danfg | hmm postgresql-8.2 seems to be gutsy specific, postgresql-8.3 is hardy specific | 04:53 |
| LostChain | something like AVS video converter | 04:53 |
| MK-BB | That's the way it works.. | 04:53 |
| hmw | chu_ what was it? | 04:53 |
| McShane | joshjtl, make sure you have Synaptic set to "all" on the left-hand side | 04:53 |
| MK-BB | Guys, how do I setup an email server?? | 04:54 |
| LostChain | i used wine to use AVS but it has problems | 04:54 |
| MK-BB | Like using roundcube or some sort?? | 04:54 |
| illumin8 | danfg, so it didnt update because it was not a valid upgrade for the server i assume? | 04:54 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, well, if you reference what i was talking about, with symlinks, you'll notice that i described what a2ensite does... all it does is remove or add symlinks from sites-available to sites-enabled | 04:54 |
| McShane | joshjtl, and make sure that "Sections" is selected on the left-hand side too | 04:54 |
| danfg | illumin8: it's not available for installation | 04:54 |
| allan8904 | does anyone here have an intel graphics card on their system? | 04:55 |
| MK-BB | I kno..that.. | 04:55 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, for that, the e-mail think, let me suggest #ubuntu-server, or the Ubuntu Wiki | 04:55 |
| joshjtl | McShane, that is so bizarre... it's just not available for me... (and I read its been added to intrepid repos) | 04:55 |
| chu_ | hmw: Apparntly, ACPI is broken on my model, something about different memory addresses? anyway, the fix is updated in 2.6.29-rc1, I'm wondering if Jaunty will ship with 2.6.28 though.... | 04:55 |
| illumin8 | danfg, yea your assumption is right then, its probably hardy specific. | 04:55 |
| McShane | joshjtl, you may want to check your sources.lst, it may be out of date | 04:55 |
| MK-BB | allan8904, yes on my laptop but not right now.. Cuz I'm on my bad online w. My blackberry | 04:55 |
| danfg | illumin8: i'll try to obtain the package by hand and install it somehow... damn i'm so sleepy, had to wait till 2am to do this now aptitude is being a brat | 04:55 |
| joshjtl | McShane, i updated... its not | 04:56 |
| allan8904 | MK-BB are you using the defualt ubuntu drivers or are the intel-OOS ones better? | 04:56 |
| MK-BB | Rdw200169; ok.. I'm on there so ill ask ppl there if there is any.. | 04:56 |
| eubey | anybody know how to change the MiMenu icon in avant-window-navigator | 04:57 |
| MK-BB | Idk.. I just formatted my hard drive | 04:57 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, there are some really smart people in there when it comes to server stuff, its best to ask your question and wait very patiently | 04:57 |
| MK-BB | Ok | 04:57 |
| MK-BB | U on that room too?? | 04:57 |
| chu_ | For anyone who has an asus 50gl series laptop, and has problems, this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=962852 outlines a potential fix. | 04:58 |

| MK-BB | Or other webmail clients | 05:02 |
| f_newton | eweb100, just turn it off | 05:02 |
| Aeosynth | mikewu: it looks like that worked, but now the file isn't in my trash. rm completely deletes files? | 05:02 |
| danfg | illumin8: i changed sources.list entries to hardy (just temporarily) and did aptitude update. now i'm gonna aptitude install postgresql-8.3 yay | 05:02 |
| MK-BB | F_newton, nice | 05:03 |
| * danfg crosses fingers | 05:03 | |
| hmw | eweb100 - if your swap is smaller than your ram, it cannot work | 05:03 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, apt-cache search webmail reveals many options, you should see that, roundcube made the list so it looks like its in the repos | 05:03 |
| Aeosynth | mikewu: nevermind, i'll just use man pages. thanks! | 05:03 |
| eweb100 | hmw, it says "failed" when it checks for fileswap | 05:03 |
| MK-BB | Ut even if I download | 05:03 |
| f_newton | this is silly | 05:03 |
| MK-BB | I don't kno how to set mx records and such | 05:04 |
| Xx_Gaara_xX | mikewu: L and R were already enabled i tested it but still no sound i notice in the volume control is said for recording the device is Capture:ALSA PCM on front:0 (CONEXANT Analog) via DMA (pulseAudio mixer) | 05:04 |
| f_newton | if you want the machine in hibernation and it wont go just turn the thing off. its not a big deal unless you cant start it up again | 05:04 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, what are trying to do? | 05:04 |
| eweb100 | CAn somone help me get my linux swap work? | 05:04 |
| rdw200169 | eweb100, do you have a swap partition? | 05:04 |
| Dante123 | eweb100 whats wrong? | 05:04 |
| f_newton | eweb100, you need a lot more understanding then instruction | 05:04 |
| eweb100 | Yes | 05:04 |
| Izinucs | eweb100: if you have it and it's not being used feel good about your computer.. | 05:04 |
| allan8904 | open up you patrition manager | 05:04 |
| MK-BB | To use webmail.. So basically like gmail but with my domain... | 05:05 |
| allan8904 | then right click the swap partion and click swapon | 05:05 |
| deny | can anyone help me out i can not run myproject on localhost ...it is giving error Forbidden You don't have permission to access /myproject/ on this server. | 05:05 |
| eweb100 | why should i feel good? | 05:05 |
| hmw | allan8904 - sudo swapon should do it, too. | 05:05 |
| sshc | how i make a gaime!!! | 05:05 |
| f_newton | oh didnt realize I was in this channel... | 05:05 |
| rdw200169 | eweb100, like hmw said, if you have the partition, it should be a simple matter of using swapon | 05:05 |
| allan8904 | hmw - thanks, i'm still getting the hang of bash, but its good to know things like that | 05:06 |
| hmw | deny: check file permissions, check for fancy indexing if you dont have an index.html in that folder, check owenershio | 05:06 |
| Izinucs | eweb100: if you have a swap and it's not being used that means memory management is working well.. Unlike windows where swap is used constantly | 05:06 |
| Dante123 | deny change the permissions (if you are gui person, then find the file and right click properties and give yourself access/permission | 05:06 |
| f_newton | eweb100, because if you arent using your swap then the memory is handling all the tasks | 05:06 |
| Xx_Gaara_xX | Nevermind mikewu it works now thanks a bunch ^_^ XDDDDD | 05:06 |
| eweb100 | On startup, when it checks everything, it says FAILED next to swap | 05:06 |
| MK-BB | Hum. | 05:06 |
| Laci | can someone help me, I've been dumped to the command prompt during initial install | 05:06 |
| hmw | deny check .htaccess | 05:06 |
| eweb100 | And i asume because of that i cant put my computer into suspend | 05:06 |
| joshjtl | this looks cool: http://xpud.org/ | 05:06 |
| MK-BB | Laci, reinstall | 05:06 |
| hmw | deny - make a new dir and put only one index.html file with content "test" there. does that show up? | 05:06 |
| Dante123 | eweb100, how did you first setup the swap (using ubuntu install or gparted etc.) | 05:07 |
| f_newton | eweb100, did you manually partition your installation? | 05:07 |
| allan8904 | Laci - have you tried using the CD on a different computer? | 05:07 |
| Laci | yes | 05:07 |
| allan8904 | Laci - does it work? | 05:07 |
| Laci | I've installed it on 2 other desktops | 05:07 |
| Laci | yes | 05:07 |
| Laci | this is a laptop | 05:07 |
| Laci | fun, I know | 05:07 |
| eweb100 | f_newton, yes | 05:07 |
| saurabh | how can i install open source search engine lucene | 05:07 |
| FloodBot2 | Laci: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:07 |
| core5_ | eneker | 05:07 |
| f_newton | Dante123, he would have had to because if he let ubuntu do it he would have had swap | 05:07 |
| allan8904 | Laci - hmm....odd | 05:07 |
| hmw | eweb100 f_newton Dante123 - it might be a too small swap partition. | 05:07 |
| eweb100 | hwm_its 6 gigs | 05:07 |
| MK-BB | Hum | 05:08 |
| Laci | I'm looking at ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 05:08 |
| hmw | eweb100 alright, thats what i wanted to check... hmm. | 05:08 |
| core5_ | hello | 05:08 |
| f_newton | well Im done | 05:08 |
| Laci | I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 05:08 |
| Laci | went through the motions | 05:08 |
| allan8904 | Laci - so you dont even get into the gui? | 05:08 |
| core5_ | zzzzzzzzz | 05:08 |
| Laci | nope | 05:08 |
| f_newton | something isnt being reported properly hmw.... Im going back to the other channel | 05:08 |
| allan8904 | Laci - what happens if you type sudo startx? | 05:08 |
| MK-BB | Rdw200169, so I guess ill have to wait for an answer from ubuntu-server | 05:09 |
| eweb100 | hmw, is there someway i can reinstall the partitions, and not reinstall the whole system | 05:09 |
| hmw | f_newton - what? | 05:09 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, did you try installing roundcube, from the repos? | 05:09 |
| Laci | looks like I need to manually configure the video driver | 05:09 |
| f_newton | he manually partitioned his hard drive and it fails swap so you figure it out hmw its not that hard | 05:09 |
| hmw | eweb100 - hmm... you could cp the whole partition (while not mounted "alive", livecd) to some other drive | 05:09 |
| Dante123 | eweb100, personally I use puppy linux cd that has gparted on it to setup my hard drive BEFORE I install ubuntu. | 05:09 |
| genii | !info axl-lucene | 05:09 |
| MK-BB | I didn't want to mess up | 05:09 |
| Laci | Screens found but none have a usable configuration | 05:09 |
| constantine | hi I have an animated gif I want to resize, how do you do this in ubuntu? | 05:09 |
| ubottu | Package axl-lucene does not exist in intrepid | 05:09 |
| MK-BB | so I didnt | 05:09 |
| genii | Hm | 05:09 |
| f_newton | Dante123, you dont need to do that as ubuntu has a very good partitioner | 05:10 |
| allan8904 | Laci - thats what it sounds like | 05:10 |
| allan8904 | Laci - what video card do you have? | 05:10 |
| f_newton | eweb100, install gparted and reset your swap partition | 05:10 |
| Laci | I use gedit? | 05:10 |
| ookz | Need help with network interface card | 05:10 |
| f_newton | Laci, I like gedit but a lot of folks use nano | 05:10 |
| eweb100 | f_newton, kk | 05:10 |
| allan8904 | Laci - nah you'd have to use something like vi | 05:10 |
| allan8904 | Laci - if you cant get into X that is | 05:11 |
| MK-BB | I would use nano | 05:11 |
| constantine | Dante123: how are you planning on being careful because I have seen some horror stories about ubuntu's partition result...as in losing the previous OS | 05:11 |
| f_newton | eweb100, make sure you have enough empty space to do that | 05:11 |
| MK-BB | Or mc | 05:11 |
| allan8904 | personal preference i guess...i jsut like VI :p | 05:11 |
| Laci | allan8904, it's an Averatec 3200 laptop | 05:11 |
| Laci | 12.1" XGA | 05:11 |
| eweb100 | f_newton, i do | 05:11 |
| f_newton | eweb100, before you do this read up on partitioning either from the gparted site or from a ubuntu document | 05:11 |
| MK-BB | mc is the most help for me... | 05:11 |
| Laci | I'm searching for the manufacturer now | 05:11 |
| hmw | allan8904 - i always suggest newbies to use nano, because they find out how to exit the program. vi is a little tricky *g* | 05:11 |
| constantine | hi, I have an animated gif I want to resize, does anyone know how to do this in ubuntu? | 05:12 |
| f_newton | and next time you install eweb100 dont do what you dont know how | 05:12 |
| MK-BB | It helped a lot... When I started using ubuntu or other linux | 05:12 |
| allan8904 | hmw - fair enough | 05:12 |
| MK-BB | Or try mc | 05:12 |
| eweb100 | f_newton, aww but thats fun | 05:12 |
| f_newton | constantine, try gimp | 05:12 |
| hmw | eweb100 - if you do backup your sys with cp, look into the man page. i think its about the -a switch | 05:12 |
| f_newton | eweb100, for whom? | 05:12 |
| Laci | what file to I need to edit, xorg.conf? | 05:13 |
| MK-BB | Rdw200169, so should I just give it a shot w/ the installation for roundcube?? | 05:13 |
| f_newton | laci first back it up use cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and copy it to a back up folder | 05:13 |
| allan8904 | Laci - hmm it seems to have VIA/S3 card, as to which one i have no idea | 05:13 |
| rdw200169 | MK-BB, shouldn't hurt anything, apt is really smart | 05:13 |
| f_newton | laci then use nano or gedit for example gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:14 |
| mikewu | constantine: install imagemagick and then use the convert command | 05:14 |
| Gotu | index.html is running infact xampp is running ...but when i put my project then it is not running | 05:14 |
| f_newton | you can also use xrandr | 05:14 |
| MK-BB | Lolz, I don't kno how to do mx records | 05:14 |
| f_newton | laci do you know what you are editing it to? | 05:15 |
| Laci | wow, says "cannot open display" when running gedit | 05:15 |
| Laci | sort of | 05:15 |
| Laci | I had to do that on one of my desktop installs | 05:15 |
| f_newton | sort of? messing up xorg will mess up your box Laci | 05:15 |
| Laci | well, it's a fresh install | 05:15 |
| hmw | laci - did you enter gedit in the console (not xterminal)? | 05:15 |
| allan8904 | Laci - yeah you cant open Gedit without x | 05:15 |
| deus | well | 05:15 |
| f_newton | what seems to be the problem Laci ? | 05:15 |
| deus | Apic errors | 05:15 |
| Gotu | it is giving error Forbidden You don't have permission to access /myproject on this server. anyone please help me | 05:15 |
| allan8904 | Laci - use nano | 05:15 |
| deus | noapic nolapic pci=noapic | 05:15 |
| deus | as boot flags | 05:16 |
| deus | does not work | 05:16 |
| chu_ | Can I get gnome-do help here? | 05:16 |
| deus | its an m2n-e | 05:16 |
| Laci | nano worked, thanks | 05:16 |
| deus | motherboard | 05:16 |
| hmw | gotu - check for the .htaccess file, there might be something wrong. check file permissions on all files, also on the directory | 05:16 |
| deus | anybody else you think i need todo? | 05:16 |
| f_newton | hmw, you know what.... I find most of linux runs pretty good until people start messing with it | 05:16 |
| Laci | anyone got any tips for xorg.conf for an S3/Via video card in a laptop/ | 05:17 |
| Gotu | i have given all the file permission to these folders /opt/lampp/htdocs/myproject | 05:17 |
| deus | f_newton: hehe, thats generally the rule | 05:17 |
| hmw | f_newton linux shouldnt be used with a mouse | 05:17 |
| f_newton | laci you need to install the s3 kmod | 05:17 |
| f_newton | or the s3 driver whatever they call it in ubuntu | 05:17 |
| Laci | how? :) | 05:18 |
| f_newton | hmw I love my mouse | 05:18 |
| hmw | gotu - can you determine, who is telling you about the permission problem? is it the web server or is it the script? | 05:18 |
| f_newton | you have internet? | 05:18 |
| Dante123 | constantine, I personally prefer booting puppylinux with livecd- setting up my hard drive with the partition for ubuntu, separate home partition and then swap....better than using the install partition program. Just personal preference and it has never NOT worked for me. | 05:18 |
| === kyle205i_ is now known as kyle205i | ||
| Laci | yes | 05:18 |
| Laci | well, I'm talking to you lovely folks... | 05:18 |
| Laci | or do you mean on the PC in question | 05:18 |
| Gotu | it must have script ...i have already tested with some other projects too | 05:19 |
| f_newton | I am afraid I don't know much about ubuntu names or commands Laci but what you have to do is install and enable the S3 kernel module and driver | 05:19 |
| allan8904 | Laci - as in do you have the internet :p | 05:19 |
| Gotu | sorry it must have server | 05:19 |
| f_newton | he said yes | 05:19 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| allan8904 | oh ok | 05:19 |
| f_newton | I mean on the machine you need to install the module Laci | 05:19 |
| Laci | well, I haven't been able to complete the ubuntu install as of yet due to video display issues | 05:20 |
| f_newton | someone gave me the xorg reconfigure command for init 3 but I cant remember what they told me | 05:20 |
| Laci | so right now, I'm sitting in nano looking to put in the driver info | 05:20 |
| deus | Any good reasons to upgrade to Jaunty? | 05:20 |
| MK-BB | hum | 05:20 |
| iztehsux | can anyone tell me how to prevent a network card from automatically using saved wireless settings when it is plugged in? | 05:21 |
| f_newton | well if it wont work in ubuntu mandriva may be your only other choice as ubuntu and mandriva are the two eazy peezy distros with proprietary drivers included | 05:21 |
| f_newton | iztehsux, you can right click on the network manager icon and edit your connection | 05:21 |
| hmw | gotu - i dont understand "it must have server". please always type my nickname, so that my irc client does a beep, or i might not see your message. | 05:22 |
| f_newton | hmw you have sounds enabled??? | 05:22 |
| f_newton | thats annoying | 05:22 |
| iztehsux | f_newton: okay, i got that far, but i have 2 network cards, 1 built in and 1 external usb. every time i plug the usb card in, it starts trying to use the saved settings from the built in card. | 05:23 |
| hmw | f_newton i use a console irc client, its the pc speaker beep | 05:23 |
| f_newton | iztehsux, you should be able to choose which one is enabled in edit | 05:23 |
| f_newton | irrsi? | 05:23 |

| ubottu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 05:23 |
| RPS | Guys does anyone know of a linux based program that will convert .ts (video) to another format like .mpg? | 05:24 |
| hmw | Gotu - you could try replacing the index.html (or .php or whatever) with something simple, like just "test" in it and look, if you can access it. does it work? | 05:24 |
| Gotu | hmw - i have already tested with some other project all are not running | 05:24 |
| f_newton | hmw using irrsi or bitchx? | 05:24 |
| hmw | f_newton a derivate of irssi - "epic" | 05:24 |
| f_newton | kewl.... my hats off to you hmw | 05:24 |
| Gotu | hmw - i have already done this | 05:24 |
| opera | what is 'wow' | 05:24 |
| f_newton | hmw I use xchat in a large screen display | 05:25 |
| hmw | Gotu - hmm... maybe you dont have php installed? maybe the kind of index.XYZ is not defined as an index file in apache's conf? | 05:25 |
| RPS | Wow is your girlfriend bringing her friend over for you to enjoy. | 05:25 |
| f_newton | but I usually have about 5 things running at once | 05:25 |
| Gotu | hmw - i dont know ...but if php is not installed then how localhost is running | 05:25 |
| f_newton | Linux Konfucious say... an ounce of reading is worth a pound of questions Gotu | 05:26 |
| hmw | gotu - php is a programming language, localhost is a (virtual) network interface | 05:26 |
| hmw | gotu - your project is written in PHP? | 05:26 |
| opera | O .I think it is a 'game | 05:26 |
| Dante123 | f_newton Mandriva is French distro isn't it? | 05:27 |
| f_newton | php is a scripting language not a programming language isnt it? does it compile? | 05:27 |
| f_newton | no | 05:27 |
| Gotu | hmw - but it is running on another system...my company is transfering from window to ubuntu ...only one pc is running and my pc is not | 05:27 |
| Dante123 | Or just popular in france? | 05:27 |
| hmw | f_newton in my opinion, interpreter languages are programming languages as well | 05:27 |
| f_newton | Dante123, mandriva is a mix of south african and south american | 05:27 |
| Gotu | hmw - yes it is in php... | 05:27 |
| f_newton | yeah right | 05:27 |

| Dante123 | Hmm, I must be thinking of something else | 05:28 |
| donavan01 | anyone used NFS ? | 05:28 |
| Dante123 | Gotu, interesting to see that your company is switching. What type of business | 05:28 |
| f_newton | Dante123, mandrake used to be really popular in France | 05:28 |
| Laci | ok, I've edited my xorg.conf but when I hit Ctrl-O in nano I get permission denied | 05:28 |
| hmw | gotu - please check out: placing a new index.php to your test directory as also to the project dir. make the content of index.php "test" and then "<? echo 'test' ?>" (thats 4 test cases) and tell me the results | 05:28 |
| Dante123 | f_newton okay that is what I was thinking of Mandrake | 05:29 |

| Dante123 | Gotu, in my home I have switched four out of five computers to linux (along with my kids and wife), I have installed ubuntu for three friends that seem pleased with it. and where I work we got three ubuntu dell mini 9's.

| usser | mereo, its never a good idea to install real player | 05:38 |
| hmw | Gotu - i am still uncertain about the test results. Is it right, that a index.php containint "test" also results in that error? | 05:39 |
| McShane | mereo, just grab VLC, I think it plays those files | 05:39 |
| mereo | usser, lol, because for some reason, totem only plays the audio and doesn't show the video | 05:39 |
| deus | ive seen loads of such threads | 05:39 |
| Gotu | hmw - no ...there was no sign of test in that result | 05:39 |
| deus | but let me browse this one | 05:39 |
| deus | its kinda an esoteric error | 05:40 |
| usser | mereo, totem is a cripple, try mplayer with w32codecs or vlc | 05:40 |
| hmw | gotu - reinstalling is somewhat cowardish - you might get rid of the problem but you will not find out, what went wrong and will not be able to repair it, if it happens again. Of course, i also do resetup in similar situations sometimes | 05:40 |
| Gotu | hmw - only 2 lines came up which i have pasted | 05:40 |
| f_newton | sometimes hmw reinstalling saves a lot of work | 05:40 |
| Dante123 | deus alsp check out http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-191355.html | 05:40 |
| f_newton | but learning is important | 05:40 |
| mereo | usser, interesting... what do you use personally? | 05:40 |
| hmw | Gotu - you could try to reinstall PHP or apache before reinstalling the whole sys | 05:40 |
| f_newton | totem-xine works well | 05:41 |
| usser | mereo, vlc and mplayer usually get the job done, if one doesnt play other will | 05:41 |
| hmw | f_newton gotu - saving time (or saving my nerves) is a legitimate reason for "cowardish" reinstalling the whole sys. i do it, too. | 05:41 |
| Gotu | hmw - o.k i'll reinstall php and apache first ;) | 05:41 |

| puremichael | ahh, sorry... xp3800, 2x 2,0ghz | 05:49 |
| [M]Maxwell | mereo: if it was xp and your using 8.10 then it would be because 8.10 uses more resources | 05:49 |
| puremichael | hmw, 640mb | 05:49 |
| [M]Maxwell | mereo: it would be like going to vista. | 05:50 |
| mereo | savvas, you can say it's a new install, I hardly have any new addons and bookmarks except for adblock plus | 05:50 |
| hmw | puremichael - 40% sounds a little much, but it might be normal. There is a lot going on, even if only the idle process is running. | 05:50 |
| [M]Maxwell | mereo: personaly for my linux computer im using 8.04 LTS | 05:50 |
| savvas | mereo: I'd suggest to create a new test user, log in from that account and try firefox again | 05:50 |
| [M]Maxwell | mereo: its much faster. | 05:50 |
| savvas | mereo: otherwise, you could try epiphany-browser :) | 05:50 |
| mereo | [M]Maxwell, I'll have to try Windows 7 and see how it's going be. | 05:50 |
| [M]Maxwell | mereo: im using windows 7 on this pc right now lol | 05:51 |
| hmw | puremichael - 40% sounds totally ok to me, if your CPU had a small L1 cache (like celerons) | 05:51 |
| [M]Maxwell | mereo: i love it, and it runs faster then vista. | 05:51 |
| mereo | savvas, lol, yeah, I'll try that *not now though* And perhaps epiphany will be like k-meleon in windows | 05:51 |
| mereo | [M]Maxwell, lol, what about Firefox's speed in there? | 05:51 |
| hmw | mereo - regarding 3D functions (compiz, like Aero in Vista) - linux is WAY faster. (try installing Vista/Aero on a 800 MHz machine LOL - Compiz runs just fine on my old PC) | 05:52 |

| [M]Maxwell | mereo: whats your pc stats. | 05:54 |
| hubuntu | Test | 05:54 |
| puremichael | hmw, i watched the following: idle at around 9%, running a single SDL app (just opening a window, and a Sleep(330) loop, so basically nothing to do) it gets to 40% on host | 05:54 |
| mereo | hmw, I get that feeling about compiz. I have a Geforce 8800GS so it's way overkill but I've read that the Geforce 6100 is perfect for compiz while not for aero | 05:54 |
| hmw | mereo - i mean, linux has another kind of being slow. if you get expirienced with ubuntu, you will soon find out, where the differences are. In my opinion, ubuntu is just a little bit slower in average. And FF is slow, even on my fast XP machine. | 05:54 |
| f_newton | hmw thats not fair... vista aero is designed to run on a 3gig machine with at least 2gigs of dual channel ram | 05:54 |
| saadi559595 | can any one help me out with my scanner its benq4300...am not able to use it..its giving me error when i try to use it thru xsane...the error is ...failed to open device' snapscan:libusb:001:002:invalid argument | 05:55 |
| hmw | f_newton - one has to wonder why. compiz is quite the same and runs on 800MHz/1GB | 05:55 |
| [M]Maxwell | hmw: firefox is very fast depending on what add ons you have installed, personaly i only use FireFTP and Anycolor | 05:55 |

| [M]Maxwell | hmw: well then idk what to say, runs great for me, personaly i think the best browser is chrome but it has some compatibility issues | 05:55 |
| hmw | [M]Maxwell mereo - FF is slow, because almost everyting runs in JavaScript. Thats its advantage as also its disadvantage. | 05:56 |
| mereo | hmw, I guess I'll just have to be patient with FF... | 05:56 |
| [M]Maxwell | mereo: you should be running very quick | 05:56 |

| f_newton | [M]Maxwell, well your figures are a bit exaggerated compared to the w3c study which differs greatly from your stats | 06:01 |
| mereo | If it's about IE then... why is it nonsense? Applications are like things and you grow a sentimental attachement to them | 06:01 |
| saadi559595 | can any one help me out with my scanner its benq4300...am not able to use it..its giving me error when i try to use it thru xsane...the error is ...failed to open device' snapscan:libusb:001:002:invalid argument | 06:01 |
| unop | [M]Maxwell, even 45% is a bit low - it's more like 70% | 06:01 |
| jstew | So since I can't boot my new install but can boot from the live CD, would it make sense to mount the new install, chroot to it, then update? | 06:01 |
| unop | [M]Maxwell, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers | 06:01 |
| [M]Maxwell | mereo: true. but firefox still outpreforms | 06:01 |
| f_newton | no... YOU may mereo but thats silly and narrow minded... not something a person with objectivity will allow | 06:02 |
| hmw | saadi559595 - seems there is nobody here who knows about scanners. stay patient, ask again once in a while (not too often pls) | 06:02 |
| Huufarted | speaking of IE... Microsoft is on IE8's list of websites that are non-compliant with standards | 06:02 |
| mereo | We're humans after all | 06:02 |
| mereo | Nothing is really objective | 06:02 |
| saadi559595 | thats what i am doing hmw...theres no one in 1315 community who knows about scanners | 06:02 |
| f_newton | [M]Maxwell, uh firefox may be compliant by the release of 3.1 but to date its not chrome is suppsed to be the closest followed by, of all things IE 7 | 06:03 |
| unop | Huufarted, you'd expect that -- the microsoft website was designed with non-standard tools for non-standard days | 06:03 |
| [M]Maxwell | unop: i got my stats from PC Mag Monthly witch i think is more accurate then wikipedia | 06:03 |
| MK-BB | Saadi, is it hp?? | 06:03 |
| unop | [M]Maxwell, heh, if you say so. | 06:03 |
| saadi559595 | mk-bb: its benq 4300 | 06:03 |
| f_newton | [M]Maxwell, try an industry tracking site you may be surprised | 06:03 |
| MMMMM_ | So I was in an engineering meeting today. One person said something that schooled another. A third person stood up, pointed and said "PWNED". | 06:03 |
| MK-BB | Then idk... If it was hp, I was gonna recommend HPLIP.. | 06:03 |
| MMMMM_ | Pronounced with a P | 06:03 |
| MK-BB | Or try googling.. Or benqs website | 06:04 |
| saadi559595 | i am trying on it for last two days | 06:04 |
| unop | [M]Maxwell, a few other sites corroborate wikipedia's stats, i'm inclined to thinking those are fair estimates | 06:05 |
| mereo | I wonder how those browser stats comes to be.... | 06:05 |
| MK-BB | Sry I can't help | 06:05 |
| McShane | PWNED is not pronounced with a P? | 06:05 |

| hmw | McShane - it should be "owned" - according to wikipedia, "pwned" originated in some typo and became a successfull meme | 06:06 |

| f_newton | well thats why I have no info on chrome | 06:10 |
| MK-BB | Saadi559595, that's what happen to me... But u get used to it | 06:10 |
| mereo | f_newton, oh no... on OSnews.com, they said they have just chose to use the gtk to build it | 06:10 |
| atom^x | what is daily chaos? | 06:10 |
| f_newton | its not built yet though | 06:11 |
| Huufarted | yuri_: most likely yes. Then again, perhaps they weren't seated properly when they were in | 06:11 |
| mie | im new user | 06:11 |
| mereo | f_newton, http://www.osnews.com/story/20980/Linux_Version_of_Chrome_To_Use_Gtk_ | 06:11 |
| yuri_ | Huufarted: i juggled all the chips to all the slots | 06:11 |
| Huufarted | yuri_: try putting in a single stick of ram, if it still persists, try putting the other stick of ram in another slot | 06:11 |
| hmw | yuri_ check for short circuits below the main board. try different ram modules. your hardware could got damaged. remove everything, you can remove for checking. | 06:11 |
| deny | hmw - i have reset the permission after right click to that folder and it is running....but do you know how to run codeigniter...coz its not running there | 06:11 |
| MK-BB | I'm a new user as well | 06:11 |
| Huufarted | then yes, yuri_, more than likely it's toast. make sure it's not a beep signifying no VGA found | 06:11 |
| f_newton | mereo, I know that already but what I'm saying its still being built | 06:12 |
| MK-BB | Only used ubuntu for last 2 wks | 06:12 |
| spaceBARbarian | can someone tell me how i can set rsync to automatically back up a folder whenever changes are made ? | 06:12 |
| yuri_ | Huufarted: its not the vga thing... I'm using the onboard vga out to test | 06:12 |
| mereo | f_newton, oh | 06:12 |
| yuri_ | crap... I hope i didnt accidentlly get thermal paste in the ram slots... | 06:13 |
| Huufarted | spaceBARbarian: you don't run it whenever something changes. Your best bet is to make a cron entry | 06:13 |
| Huufarted | !cron | yuri_ | 06:13 |
| ubottu | yuri_: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 06:13 |
| saadi559595 | its really just shit man...i am sick of it...if u want to pass ur time then use it otherwise if want it for reall use its crap | 06:13 |
| f_newton | yuri_, beeb....beep...beep tells u your memory is mismatched, not seated properly, or failed | 06:13 |

| Daemonbuntu | spacebarbarian: Think of CRON as like Task Scheduler in Windows | 06:14 |
| Daemonbuntu | only not as user friendly | 06:14 |
| Daemonbuntu | heh | 06:14 |
| DigitalKiwi | ahaha | 06:14 |
| M4rotku | carlerasss, se hablan ingles aqui, si es possible, es mejor | 06:14 |
| Huufarted | daemonbuntu, far easier to use (and reliable) IMO. :) | 06:14 |
| DigitalKiwi | wait what is task scheduler? | 06:14 |
| spaceBARbarian | okay can someone give me a command that autmoatically checks and syncs two folders ( eg ~/Documents ~/Docs.Bak) | 06:15 |
| Huufarted | spaceBARbarian: check the link that ubottu posted about cron | 06:15 |
| yuri_ | Huufarted: visually it all looks fine | 06:15 |
| Daemonbuntu | lets you schedule things to happen at certain times or when certain events happen | 06:15 |
| BobAlmighty | Are there significant performance differences between using Samba versus NFS? | 06:15 |
| Huufarted | spaceBARbarian: easiest way: rsync -av /sourcedir /destdir | 06:15 |
| spaceBARbarian | would that continuously update things or just once / | 06:15 |
| Huufarted | BobAlmighty: in my experience windows shares are disgustingly slow. | 06:16 |
| quibbler | saadi559595: it seems i'm doing this for nothing. if you feels so strongly join #windows | 06:16 |
| unop | spaceBARbarian, it's a one-off thing | 06:16 |
| Huufarted | spacebarbarian, it would update it once. However, if you entered that command in as a cron entry, you can make it run once a day or however many times a day | 06:16 |
| Huufarted | for instance, every day at 3am in the cron would be: 0 3 * * * rsync -av /sourcedir /destdir | 06:16 |
| Huufarted | spaceBARbarian: cron is your best bet and you WILL want to learn it at some point | 06:17 |
| spaceBARbarian | well what i am trying to do is keep two folders constantly synced, one is a virtual box share and the other is for debugging a program | 06:17 |
| spaceBARbarian | is there a better way to do that ? | 06:17 |
| Huufarted | spacebarbarian, for redundancy purposes or just so you can use the same code on 2 boxes? | 06:17 |
| spaceBARbarian | Huufarted=> so i can compile the code but still view it in windows | 06:18 |
| Huufarted | spaceBARbarian: you can simply share a directory on your unix box with Samba and then just view it over the share | 06:18 |
| |jbbarne| | Does anybody know how to change the overall system language? I want to switch everything to Spanish. Thanks. | 06:19 |
| mib_al8wso | Does anyone know of a way to view and edit the hex code of a cd/dvd? | 06:19 |
| spaceBARbarian | Huufarted=> well my unix box is a virtual machine so would samba still work ? | 06:19 |
| Huufarted | spaceBARbarian: you can also use a program on Windows perhaps like UltraEdit that can open the file up over FTP so when you save it, it saves it right back to the server | 06:19 |
| spirited | Could anyone point me to a good website with a tutorial on how to have Ubuntu and Windows XP OS on the same system? | 06:19 |
| jj_galvez | I installed a package using dpkg -i --force-architecture <package> and after installing the package is not listed in snaptic or aptitude, is that normal? | 06:19 |
| Huufarted | sure would, spaceBARbarian. The 2 machines don't know the one isn't a physical machine | 06:19 |
| spaceBARbarian | Huufarted=> i can get that kind of functionality from dropbox, i was trying to do something so its offline | 06:19 |
| degrit | |jbbarne|, System -> Administration -> Language Support ? | 06:20 |
| f_newton | what degrit said | 06:20 |
| spaceBARbarian | can't really think of any thing other thank using the virtual box shared folder | 06:20 |

| Hacker | now I want to reinstall it | 06:21 |
| Huufarted | spaceBARbarian: but either cron or a startup script is your best bet | 06:21 |
| |jbbarne| | I was hoping for some way regardless of the GUI. | 06:21 |
| McShane | |jbbarne|, I believe you need to install the "es" language packs | 06:21 |

| Hacker | and many others | 06:21 |
| spaceBARbarian | Huufarted=> would it be bad for performance if i set rsync to run every 5 - 10 seconds with cron ? | 06:21 |

| spaceBARbarian | hmm nvm i found a better solution, shared usb drive :P | 06:22 |
| Huufarted | spaceBARbarian: once the sync is up and going, probably not, but it will do that ALL of the time, even when you're in the process of editing it | 06:22 |
| f_newton | if you need that make it a public folder to where all machines on your net can access it | 06:22 |

| mib_al8wso | it is a windows | 06:27 |
| mib_al8wso | and i am on ubuntu | 06:27 |
| Huufarted | mib_al8wso, share the directory in windows. Ubuntu can read a windows share. | 06:28 |
| singlecore | psicobra: i'm no expert on myth - but perhaps it's a codec issue | 06:28 |
| Huufarted | once it's mounted, you can use the command BUT it has to copy it to the local PC to do the md5sum on it | 06:28 |
| psicobra | dont think so but thanks singlecore | 06:28 |
| Huufarted | my advice is to get an md5 calculation program on your windows PC | 06:28 |
| singlecore | psicobra: no worries | 06:28 |
| mib_al8wso | i can open the file fine at smb://dell-pc/other/Desktop but just cant get a terminal to nav there to run the md5sum | 06:28 |
| mib_al8wso | is there a command for that | 06:28 |
| Huufarted | lol what did you do? | 06:29 |
| Huufarted | mib_al8wso: please stand by | 06:29 |

| hmw | mib_al8wso no workgroup neccesary. alternatively use the IP instead of host name. try "smbtree" to see all shares in your net. But i think you need some software or find the right options to mount that share. shouldnt be hard to find on google. | 06:35 |

| HelloWorld | Huufarted: This is probably offtopic, but I am still asking this: Does Windows XP displays multiple partitions of a pendrive? If not directly, is there a hack to do this? | 06:38 |
| bohemian | i just need to open a config file with a root acces | 06:38 |
| unop | Hacker, that should be all | 06:38 |

| mib_al8wso | well when i do smbtree it show stuff like \\dell-pc\other not //dell-pc/other | 06:38 |
| lstarnes | Hacker: if it still shows up, you might need to try killall -9 apache2 | 06:39 |
| unop | lstarnes, no, don't recommend that | 06:39 |
| personaitor | i need some help | 06:39 |
| hmw | Hacker: and... define user friendly. this topic is very complex, and the term cannot really be defined. user friendly is, what you are *used* to. If you learn unix for a while, you will never again think of windows to be user friendly, because you have to click so often for things you get done with a single command line in linux. | 06:39 |
| Huufarted | HelloWorld, Windows has no choice but to display all partitions that are there provided there are enough drive letters available | 06:39 |

| HelloWorld | Huufarted: I get it...ty again! | 06:41 |
| Hacker | apache2 still there | 06:41 |
| Hacker | sorry about wrong pasting | 06:41 |
| hmw | cristi: do you use /dev/sda1 or hda for mounting? maybe you need to use the UUID of the drive instead. | 06:41 |
| lstarnes | Hacker: try doing sudo aptitude purge apache2 | 06:41 |
| personaitor | what do i do | 06:41 |
| gords | hi all! how would i know if me sound card supports full duplex? i'm using ubuntu 8 hardy | 06:41 |
| personaitor | it says | 06:41 |
| mikewu | personaitor: try launching it through the commandline and see if it prints errors | 06:41 |
| personaitor | 'starting application' | 06:41 |
| personaitor | ok | 06:41 |
| Cristi | hmw: i pasted you the fstab, however i use the /dev/sda1 | 06:42 |
| bohemian | Huufarted: how do i open the restricted file in text editor? | 06:42 |
| personaitor | wait | 06:42 |
| Huufarted | bohemian, what text editor? | 06:42 |
| bohemian | with the root access? | 06:42 |
| personaitor | using the root terminal? | 06:42 |
| unop | bohemian, sudo $EDITOR /path/to/file | 06:42 |
| quibbler | bohemian: gksudo gedit | 06:42 |
| Huufarted | if you use vi, then: sudo vi /path/filename | 06:42 |
| lstarnes | personaitor: try it the normal way | 06:42 |
| mikewu | personaitor: just a normal terminal | 06:42 |
| hmw | Cristi: sometimes the BIOS does strange things with hard drives, swaps the order. By using the UUID you will be sure to address the right drive. | 06:42 |
| hlm | bohemian, gksudo #editor ./filename.$extension | 06:42 |
| Huufarted | if you use a GUI editor: gksu program_name /path/filename | 06:42 |
| bohemian | i can open the file in the terminal but i prefer opening in a text editor | 06:42 |
| Hacker | it's sitll there http://paste.ubuntu.com/120888/ | 06:42 |
| personaitor | so were would i go in the terminal | 06:43 |
| hmw | Cristi_ pls give me the link to the pasted fstab | 06:43 |
| bohemian | ok i'll try that | 06:43 |
| Hacker | lstarnes: | 06:43 |
| Cristi | hmw: http://pastebin.com/m56f78c4c | 06:43 |
| mikewu | personaitor: just try launching any of those programs in the terminal by typing their name | 06:43 |
| Huufarted | bohemian: use 'sudo' to work with a file as root inside of the terminal. use gksu when you need to open the program in a GUI program for editing as root | 06:43 |
| personaitor | including .exe? | 06:44 |
| lstarnes | personaitor: linux programs almost never end in .exe | 06:44 |
| Hacker | any idea please? | 06:44 |
| Huufarted | personaitor: .exe programs do not run in Linux unless it's under wine | 06:44 |
| personaitor | yes | 06:45 |
| joot | personaitor, no just the name | 06:45 |
| personaitor | thats wat im using | 06:45 |
| lstarnes | Hacker: try removing apache2.2-common | 06:45 |
| Cristi | hmw: sda1 and sdc1 should be mounted in media, while sdb1 in /. However when i log in sdb1 is mounted in media where sda1 i think should be mounted | 06:45 |
| bohemian | quibbler: that made me open the file in the text editor | 06:45 |
| bohemian | thanks | 06:45 |
| personaitor | but when i start the .exe through wine | 06:45 |
| personaitor | nothing happends | 06:45 |
| quibbler | bohemian: you are welcome | 06:45 |
| hmw | Cristi - looks good, afaict. my next step would be using the UUID. try sudo vol_id /dev/sdc1 for getting the UUID. if your sdb1 is really not in / then you should ask yourself: what is mounted as / ?? - but i have seen strange things happen, when not using UUID. | 06:46 |
| Huufarted | personaitor: /join #winehq | 06:46 |
| personaitor | ??? | 06:47 |
| Huufarted | that is a question for the wine community | 06:47 |
| Hacker | lstarnes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/120890/ here's the result i got | 06:47 |
| Huufarted | it's best asked there, that's al | 06:47 |
| lstarnes | personaitor: #winehq is wine's official channel | 06:47 |
| Huufarted | that's all* | 06:47 |
| Hacker | could u please take a look at it | 06:47 |
| Cristi | hmw: sdb1 is mounted as root, but also it is mounted in /media | 06:47 |
| personaitor | oh | 06:47 |
| DigitalKiwi | I name my scripts *.exe just to mess with people =D | 06:48 |
| Cristi | hmw: ID_FS_UUID=0e4a510f-fb95-474c-ad61-931675aa1461 is this the good one? | 06:48 |
| hmw | Cristi - well... i cant know, what UUID your drive has. looks good. | 06:48 |
| f_newton | is there any way to put my home folders on my desktop? | 06:48 |
| Cristi | hmw: or this ID_FS_UUID_ENC=0e4a510f-fb95-474c-ad61-931675aa1461 | 06:48 |
| Cristi | hmw: i mean that i don't know which id should i choose, the UUID_ENC or UUID | 06:49 |
| hmw | Cristi - omg... i honestly dont know. either you try it out, or you RTFManpage | 06:49 |
| hmw | Cristi did you encrypt the FS? | 06:49 |
| Cristi | hmw: i don't think so | 06:49 |
| Cristi | hmw: probably not | 06:50 |
| f_newton | lol | 06:50 |
| lstarnes | Hacker: try purge instead of remove | 06:50 |
| hmw | Cristi - my guess would be the ID_FS_UUID then. *guess* ! | 06:50 |
| f_newton | Ive got a headache! | 06:50 |
| hmw | Cristi (i didnt expect 2 UUIDs to show up here) | 06:50 |
| Cristi | hmw: however i think there might be an error with the file permissions. | 06:50 |
| Hacker | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 42 not upgraded. | 06:50 |
| hmw | Cristi - how do you come to that conclusion? | 06:50 |
| Hacker | :( | 06:51 |
| atom^x | Hacker, are you worried about the config files still being there? | 06:51 |
| Hacker | yes | 06:51 |
| Cristi | hmw: maybe that is preventing a good mount. If i type gksudo nautilus, and reach the mounted volumes, they are in the right order .. | 06:51 |
| Hacker | so I have no other choice but remove it manually ? | 06:51 |
| Peddy | What's the package with extra Gnome wallpapers called? | 06:51 |
| atom^x | Hacker, if so just delete them | 06:51 |
| hmw | Cristi pls explain "reaching for mounted volumes" - just going to /media ?? | 06:52 |
| Hacker | apache2 installed so many files in different locations in my directory tree | 06:52 |
| atom^x | Hacker, you did not use the purge option to uninstall | 06:52 |
| Cristi | hmw: yes, browsing the media with nautilus | 06:52 |
| Cristi | hmw: while root | 06:52 |
| Hacker | http://paste.ubuntu.com/120893/ | 06:53 |
| Hacker | atom^x | 06:53 |
| hmw | Hacker: if you read http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ , you will understand some things much better. in this case, why every program clutters its files all over your file sys for no apparent reason. | 06:53 |
| Cristi | hmw: and, i also have an error with azureus: data file missing, unable to write to create parent directory, regarding the 2 ext3 volumes | 06:53 |
| hmw | Cristi - uhm... and how do you get the error? as user it shows something different?? | 06:54 |
| atom^x | Hacker, what is that supposed to tell me? | 06:54 |
| alpha7 | how i check my computer cpu temp | 06:54 |
| Hacker | atom^x: the directory apache2 in /etc/apache2 is still there | 06:55 |
| hmw | alpha7 - look into "lmsensors" | 06:55 |
| Cristi | hmw: how do i get what error? i don't understand? the azureus error appears when i launch azureus | 06:55 |
| atom^x | Hacker, you cant remove something that has already been removed... | 06:55 |
| jj_galvez | ugg packages installed with --force-architecture do not show up on synaptic package list | 06:55 |
| hmw | alpha7 - ther might be a temperature panel addon, search in synaptics for "temperature" and you shoudl find it | 06:55 |
| arooni-mobile | anyone running ubuntu ibex on t61? my mirophone capture doesnt work...and the brightness seems to get messed up. after a few seconds of inactivity screen dims (can i make it more)? plus, screen never seems as bright when not plugged in. | 06:55 |
| Hacker | if it's removed so how come all directories still there | 06:56 |
| Cristi | hmw: if i browse the media with my user i get the media mixed up, if i do it with root it seems to be ok | 06:56 |
| Hacker | include files of course | 06:56 |
| hmw | Cristi - i think you have an issue with file systems mounted wrongly...!? *confusion* | 06:56 |
| hmw | Cristi - ah. alright | 06:56 |
| atom^x | Hacker, you did not use purge! | 06:56 |
| Xor1ng | morning | 06:56 |
| hmw | Cristi - thats odd. i have no idea, what could cause that. | 06:57 |
| Hacker | apt-get remove --purge apache2 | 06:57 |
| anom01y | how come alsa crashes when I try to listen to multiple sources of audio, ie. firefox, flash, mplayer, amarok, | 06:57 |
| Hacker | i'm not sure it is the right command | 06:57 |
| atom^x | Hacker, if the files are a problem for you, delete them and move on | 06:57 |
| Xor1ng | Hacker, just apt-get purge ... | 06:57 |
| hmw | Cristi - does it happen, when you remove the entries from fstab and manually mount? | 06:57 |
| Cristi | hmw: damn, i think i'll restart again and see what happens, and if things are still the same i'll try the UUID mount thingy | 06:57 |
| NFischer | I get the Message "Please go to mIRC Options / Sounds / Requests , and deselect "Send !nick file' as private message" how do i do this in Xchat?! | 06:57 |
| Cristi | hmw: no | 06:57 |
| hmw | Cristi - i still suspect the missing UUID settings. | 06:58 |
| lstarnes | NFischer: where did you get that from? | 06:58 |
| atom^x | Hacker, you have already removed apache, this will not help you now!!! | 06:58 |
| Cristi | hmw: that could be it.. however things were working just fine yesterday | 06:58 |
| Hacker | yes | 06:58 |
| NFischer | tried to send a deb package i made to a freind of mine | 06:58 |
| NFischer | and he got this message | 06:58 |
| Hacker | so basically now I just go ahead delete all files? | 06:58 |
| lstarnes | NFischer: then he should do that on his side, I think | 06:59 |
| atom^x | Hacker, yes | 06:59 |
| hmw | Cristi - i saw drives swapping around, when not using uuid. this could be due to some race condition in the boot process (bios) | 06:59 |
| alpha7 | hmw lmsensors doesn't work | 06:59 |
| Hacker | I'm wondering what apt-get remove do when I still have to manually delete the files? | 06:59 |

| joot | apt-get | 07:00 |
| mikewu | alpha7: you run sudo sensors-detect right? | 07:00 |
| hmw | joot apt-get doesnt always remove everyting | 07:00 |
| NFischer | lstarnes, yeah but how? when he tries to send me smth its the same for me.. | 07:00 |
| Hacker | yeah sometimes it works | 07:00 |
| atom^x | apt-get remove can leave config files behind | 07:00 |
| lstarnes | NFischer: do you get that error? | 07:00 |
| joot | hmw, I know but it does usually work well | 07:00 |
| alpha7 | mikewu should i probe now? | 07:01 |
| Hacker | with other package | 07:01 |

Last night in installed the nvidia drivers so that I could have opengl support, and after having done so, I've lost all borders etc. for my windows. I installed a few applications at the same time, but narrowed it down to the nvidia drivers (I uninstall them, problem gone, install them, problem back.)

| hmw | Stueh - your window manager is having problems. if you turn off compiz, your borders should be back. | 07:07 |
| mikewu | alpha7: so there's nothing in thermal_zones? | 07:07 |
| Stueh | hmw: noobie question ... how do I turn off compiz? | 07:08 |

| Stueh | hmw: I found one way to fix it, and while it's not uber technical it works. I went to System > Preferences > Appearance and under Visual Effects tab I changed it to None ...That seems to of fixed it =S | 07:15 |
| * dethzilla is too cool for school | 07:16 | |
| hmw | Stueh - wait... you can also switch it off in the preferences menu... go to "appearance", rightmost tab "interface" ... ah, tahts what i was about to tell yer. | 07:16 |

| Huufarted | Anybody have good suggestions for torrent applications in ubuntu? | 07:17 |
| lolwut2 | use the built in POS | 07:17 |

| McShane | Stueh, you'll have opengl support, you just won't be able to do fancy stuff with the windows | 07:17 |
| Stueh | hmw: It seems it does not effect opengl. I can play an opengl game with no problem now | 07:17 |
| Huufarted | yeah, but I don't want to run the default torrent app unless it's the best one | 07:17 |
| lolwut2 | it's a torrent app | 07:18 |
| zombrains | i would honestly suggest using utorrent via wine | 07:18 |
| lolwut2 | not desktop imaging software | 07:18 |
| hmw | Stueh - btw. you would want to turn off compiz when using 3d apps anyways. | 07:18 |
| Stueh | McShane: Coolio, I don't mind about the fancy stuff with windows, I like a simple system, so I'm happy. Cheers for the help! =) | 07:18 |
| patmanpato | is there a way to view all raw data being sent out over an ethernet interface, eg eth0 ? | 07:18 |
| zombrains | then use the utorrent webui | 07:18 |

| saywatmang | the arrow keys only stop working in compiz | 07:35 |
| lolwut2 | then don't use compiz | 07:35 |
| saywatmang | and they actually contineu to work if i start in memtacity and then run compiz | 07:35 |
| saywatmang | but once i retsart x, they break | 07:35 |
| lolwut2 | gosh, i've heard of that bug | 07:36 |
| lolwut2 | seems the only answer is a reformat-reinstall | 07:36 |
| zombrains | it seems like a lot of people are having problems with x | 07:36 |
| saywatmang | and if i start in compiz and try to metacity --replace, the issue persists, and setxkbmap doesnet fix it | 07:36 |

| zombrains | but i'm sure you can find out at the DSL site | 07:43 |
| saywatmang | metacity --replace & then compiz --replace & fixes the issue | 07:43 |
| saywatmang | donno if that provides any hints | 07:44 |
| CokeNCode | let me check the ubuntu forum | 07:44 |
| fazilaei | Is there any way to download the kernel from the live cd and put it in the boot folder | 07:44 |
| zombrains | download from cd? | 07:44 |
| fazilaei | because I am now chatting from the live cd | 07:45 |
| zombrains | you mean extract? | 07:45 |
| fazilaei | yes | 07:45 |
| zombrains | you want only the kernel? | 07:45 |
| hmw | saywatmang - looks like a bad keybinding. check compiz settings manager, use extended search (or similar) and look for the corresponding keys, they might be set to the wrong event, or might be defined for several events | 07:45 |
| michalski-bj | zombrains all I can find is that its DDR2 SDRAM | 07:45 |
| fazilaei | yes.. | 07:45 |
| elky | zombrains, this is kind of the wrong channel to be discussing non-ubuntu distros | 07:46 |

| saywatmang | hmw, did you see my responses? any ideas | 07:59 |
| hmw | joemac1 - unless you verify, that this very cdrom drive likes the cd, you wont easily be sure, if it is a hardware failure or a OS problem | 08:00 |

| hmw | sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt | 08:10 |
| joemac1 | hmw: udo /mount /dev/sdb1 | 08:11 |

| taz_white95 | I have a UDF valume (vista format ) cd with pic on it any one know how to get the grr open | 08:11 |
| dr_Willis | 'mount' is a command /mount would be incorrect. :) | 08:11 |
| hmw | c0vert - is it only possible to ommit the fstype, when it is defined in fstab, or is ther a chance without such an entry, too? | 08:11 |
| BattleStarJesus | Finding casual engaging Linux conversation is difficult. | 08:11 |
| joemac1 | dr_Willis: so what command did I want? | 08:11 |
| hmw | joemac1 - sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt | 08:12 |
| dr_Willis | joemac1, if you want the 'mount' command - you use 'mount' NOT /mount | 08:12 |
| c0vert | hmw, these days it auto detects the type anyway, so it's not really required | 08:12 |
| joemac1 | hmw: mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist | 08:12 |
| mereo | I'm thinking... is it possible to hibernate and then restart the pc? | 08:12 |
| mereo | Because I'm using Windows as a gaming OS so I would like to leave ubuntu at the state it is in | 08:13 |
| hmw | joemac1 - okay... you still have a chance with other devices... type "mount" to see, what is already mounted, and then try sda1, sdc1, sdd1 | 08:13 |
| fahadsadah | mereo: I think that would be possible. | 08:13 |
| hmw | mereo - one requirement for hibernation is a swap partition at least as big as your RAM | 08:14 |
| c0vert | i don't think that's possible mereo | 08:14 |
| c0vert | windows would need to use those resources to run... | 08:14 |
| hmw | c0vert mereo - why shouldnt it work? | 08:14 |
| joemac1 | hmw: http://pastebin.com/m6d69cac | 08:15 |
| c0vert | hmw, he wants to switch to windows after hibernation | 08:15 |
| mereo | yeesh... my swap is 1 Gb and I have 2 GB... but yeah... it will be nice since I don't want to restart all the programs in ubuntu | 08:15 |
| c0vert | and hopes it will stay in the same state | 08:15 |
| mereo | yup, that's right | 08:15 |
| c0vert | it's next to impossible | 08:16 |
| mereo | I think nobody thought about that feature... because technically, restarting or shutting down after hibernation is the same thing | 08:16 |
| c0vert | or people would have no use for vmware lol | 08:16 |
| hmw | c0vert - so what? i mean, doesnt ubuntu do the the "wakeup" itself, or does the bios restore the state? (i doubt that the bios has to do anything with it) - so i thing, just using grub to boot windows wont touch the hibernated linux | 08:16 |
| c0vert | well if you guys find a way show me haha i'm interested | 08:16 |
| mereo | Well, it will just restart after hibernating instead of shutting down... | 08:17 |
| fahadsadah | I think the BIOS does do something in such a case. Read up on S3 restores. | 08:17 |
| hmw | joemac1 - well... i dont know exactly, who sata does the numbering, but i'd guess your cdrom should be /dev/hdb | 08:17 |
| fahadsadah | hmw: /dev/sdb if it's SATA. | 08:18 |
| mereo | fahadsadah, I can already suspend, but what I want is hibernate ubuntu, restart the computer and then go to windows | 08:18 |
| hmw | aah... joemach... of course i mean sdb | 08:18 |

| fastpramod | hmw i read many utorrent many guides but dint figure out how to remote login so thought to use IRC | 08:39 |
| raheem | fastpramod: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/6641/1/ might be helpful | 08:39 |
| fastpramod | lets hope :) its helpful as i never used ubuntu desktop :( so dont know how to log into GUI | 08:40 |
| rww | ubottu: !vnc | fastpramod | 08:40 |
| ubottu | fastpramod: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 08:40 |
| hmw | fastpramod - no problem. i think, i used the wrong !code. i just meant, that you dont need to ask every person separatedly, because if someone knows the answer, they will give it to u | 08:40 |
| J-_ | fastpramod: Use ssh, screen(multi-plexer), and rtorrent. | 08:40 |
| J-_ | fastpramod: that way you can use irssi as well. | 08:40 |

| J-_ | oh, sorry. | 08:41 |
| fastpramod | J so i need vnc to remote my server ? on desktop edition ? | 08:42 |
| raheem | ubuntu comes with remote desktop sharing pre-installed, right ? you just need to enable the service .. | 08:42 |
| hmw | fastpramod rww - i think VNC isnt needed, because RDP (vnc in fact?) is already installed. It might have to be activated first, mabye the firewall could block it. | 08:42 |
| fastpramod | any way to enable it thru SSH ? | 08:42 |
| fastpramod | as i m on ssh rite now | 08:42 |

| mikewu | fastpramod: you just want to be able to start wine utorrent as a gui right? | 08:43 |
| lstarnes | fastpramod: if you use ssh -XY, you should be able to start gui programs on the remote host and display them on a local x server | 08:43 |
| fastpramod | mike yes | 08:43 |
| mikewu | then do what lstarnes said | 08:43 |

| fastpramod | is that what i should do :S ? | 08:44 |

| d-b | (hard disk installation) | 08:44 |
| mikewu | run ssh -XY user@remote_computer | 08:44 |
| lstarnes | fastpramod: if you're just going to be running a few programs remotely and not an entire desktop environment, this method would probably be the easiest | 08:45 |
| mikewu | fastpramod: then once you're in, just run wine utorrent | 08:45 |

| mespejel | hello the other day someone gave me a nice command to safety install java and more stuff.. anyone know what was it? because i had to install ubuntu all over again | 08:45 |
| mespejel | mespejel: i want to be able to watch youtube videos and all that stuff | 08:45 |
| jtaji | mespejel: probably: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 08:45 |
| mespejel | oh yeah | 08:45 |
| mespejel | that ones thanks a lot | 08:45 |
| d-b | jtaji: to install it to a usb flash drive (i would use ext2) | 08:45 |

| mespejel | jtaji: btw.. what is basically the difference between apt-get and aptitude? | 08:46 |
| hmw | mespejel - small hint: make a notes text file somewhere safe and keep all your insights documented there. you will be happy next year, not to have to look up all that stuff again | 08:46 |
| futsuriai | Hello, I can't seem to install gnome-settings-daemon-dbgsym which I kind of need to get feedback on another error | 08:46 |
| jtaji | mespejel: aptitude is a bit "friendlier" to use | 08:47 |
| lstarnes | fastpramod: you don't need to start either of those. if the computer you are connecting from is running an x server, then ssh -XY will work. If you're running any linux distribiton on that computer, it almsot certainly is using x | 08:47 |
| J-_ | mespejel: they pretty well do the same thing. same with pacman(arch) and other package managers. | 08:47 |
| lstarnes | *almost | 08:47 |
| jtaji | mespejel: but apt-get is fine too | 08:47 |
| mespejel | ok thanks | 08:47 |
| mespejel | hmw: and actually i do that all the time.. i already have mi little list.. but in this last one i fail | 08:48 |
| d-b | so the answer is no ? | 08:48 |
| hmw | mespejel - ic. i actually deleted mine accidently yesterday - argh!! | 08:48 |
| jtaji | d-b: you should check out unetbootin | 08:49 |
| J-_ | I've setup 3 partitions. Root, SWAP, and /home partitions, will I have to enable both swap and /home to be able to use them? | 08:49 |

| lstarnes | fastpramod: ssh -XY root@ip | 08:51 |
| fastpramod | ye thats what i asked :) | 08:51 |
| lstarnes | fastpramod: and you generally should not be using gui programs running as root | 08:51 |
| fastpramod | let me try that | 08:51 |

| d-b | and it sticks | 08:52 |
| fastpramod | or need ssh in front of that command ? | 08:52 |

| zaapiel | any reason to not use ubuntu 64? | 09:05 |

| fastpramod | lstarnes: i m on Windows Xp Professional | 09:10 |
| lstarnes | fastpramod: oops. I was assuming that you were using ubuntu on both so I thought ssh would work. | 09:10 |

| ploom | sugi, kill by default sends sigkill (afaik), but you can make it send a stronger signal with -9 option | 09:55 |
| bazhang | crazy_monkey, you need to import the key; there should be instructions on the ppa site | 09:55 |

| chu_ | rm | 10:33 |
| C-S-B | thedave, so you have no grub on the target machine at all? you could try booting a usb stick and installing grub with that | 10:33 |
| cherva | Hemebond: I don't want to set it I want to run it from the console because when I type something it is unusualy slow and I want to see if there are error in the back | 10:33 |
| Hemebond | int256: rm | 10:33 |
| chu_ | man rm though, I don't know flags off by heart int256 | 10:33 |
| int256 | Hemebond: ok | 10:33 |
| thedave | C-S-B: I don't know. I have the netinstall image. There must be a grub somewhere.. :-/ | 10:34 |
| thedave | Since he installed without errors yesterday. | 10:34 |
| thedave | Maybe I just re-install? | 10:34 |
| k3pp0 | lstarnes, libgtk2.0-dev did the trick, thanks for help, there are lot of packages needed... :/ | 10:34 |
| thedave | Maybe I did set the boot-flag incorrect? Does this have to be at /boot or at / (root) or doesn't grub care where it is? | 10:35 |
| C-S-B | thedave, try manually installing grub after booting via pxe? | 10:35 |
| lvlefisto | Is there a way to run a GUI app as a different user? i mean an ordinary user, not root | 10:36 |
| C-S-B | or does it not boot off pxe? | 10:36 |
| thedave | PXE is netboot, yes? | 10:36 |
| C-S-B | pxe is the standard for booting over the network | 10:37 |
| Alex_21 | Hi, I need t limit the download for all of my machines on my network | 10:37 |
| Alex_21 | The bandwith quota needs to be set without a proxy | 10:37 |
| thedave | That's a very good idea. So I need to setup a PXE Env on an other machine? | 10:37 |

| thedave | ok I will give it a try C-S-B. Thank you :) | 10:39 |
| C-S-B | thedave, arent you trying to boot and install over the network though? In order to successfully boot off the network, you need to have a pxe enable gfx card, a server dishing out the image with a dhcp server running. :) | 10:39 |
| Zeneth | i keep getting an error about how ubunustudio can load the install stuff from the cdrom, but i used unetbootin to put the installer on a usb fd | 10:39 |
| Zeneth | is there a ay to make it look there | 10:40 |
| ml-mactop | Hemebond & chu_: i was thinking about htop | 10:40 |
| chu_ | Sorry about the confusion. | 10:40 |
| C-S-B | I manage a 2x system at work it's kind of similar :) | 10:40 |
| ikonia | C-S-B: a pxe enabled gfx card ? | 10:41 |
| thedave | C-S-B no I used a 8.10_Netinstall image from USB. :) sorry for the mix-up in terms. | 10:41 |
| chu_ | I'm gonna guess he meant network card, but the above talk of gfc card probably crossed his thought-path | 10:41 |
| thedave | But I think your option is even better to see what's wrong :) | 10:41 |
| thedave | I got the though, never mind ;) | 10:41 |
| Alex_21 | Is it even possible to do what I want to do without a proxy? | 10:42 |

| jonson | Hey, I'm accessing a remote machine via gnome and ssh://ip ... however, I cannot make any changes to files owned by root... is there a way to raise my privileges? or do I have to log in via a terminal to do that? | 10:49 |
| ikonia | jonson: switch user | 10:50 |
| ikonia | jonson: or use sudo on the remote machine | 10:50 |
| ZachFlem | ikonia, i want to make a backup of /home/zach before i build a clean install. but i cant seem to xfer the files to the winxp laptop via the network. | 10:50 |
| Alex_21 | I just need to know if you think a 266 MHZ machine with a a network that has a bottleneck of 10 MBPS would run OK | 10:50 |
| celeritas | jonson: you can 'gksudo nautilus' | 10:50 |
| jonson | ikonia: how am I supposed to use sudo if I have no command line? that's exactly my problem. | 10:50 |
| ikonia | ZachFlem: whats the problem | 10:50 |
| jonson | jonson: will this also work via ssh? | 10:50 |
| ikonia | jonson: ooh I see, in that case - no you can't | 10:50 |
| burkmat | !sudo | jonson | 10:50 |
| ubottu | jonson: 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) | 10:50 |
| jonson | burkmat: ... | 10:50 |
| ikonia | jonson: ssh takes the username you connect with | 10:50 |
| jonson | ikonia: oh ok | 10:50 |
| ikonia | jonson: (within gnome as you are doing) | 10:50 |
| burkmat | jonson, ...you're connecting over ssh you say, why won't sudo work? | 10:51 |
| chu_ | ZachFlem, I think there's a program called "clone" or something similar, which basically archives some files... Let me find a link | 10:51 |
| celeritas | gnome, can't you use ssh://name@host ? | 10:51 |
| jonson | burkmat: because I'm using nautilus, not a terminal. | 10:51 |
| ZachFlem | ikonia, i can browse /home/zach from the windows machine, but i get "Cannot copy XXX.XX: Access Denied" | 10:51 |
| ikonia | burkmat: he's not ussing an ssh client | 10:51 |
| jonson | and I only have one user and no root user activated. | 10:51 |
| jonson | well, I guess, I have to use the terminal then | 10:51 |
| ikonia | ZachFlem: sounds like your username your using to connect as is wrong | 10:51 |
| crdlb | jonson: well, why do you want to make changes that require root in the first place? | 10:51 |
| burkmat | jonson, Aah, sshfs kind of? Well you'd need to either change who you're logged in as over ssh or modify the rights on the remote machine. | 10:52 |
| ikonia | ZachFlem: I suggest just pulling them off with scp/ftp if your not confident with permissions | 10:52 |
| jonson | okay, I'll try that | 10:52 |
| Hemebond | jonson: You can't jump into a terminal to make your root-level changes? | 10:52 |
| jonson | I can, but I prefer a gui, that's why I asked. | 10:52 |

| dr_Willis | make a fake swap partition that has the real data on it! :) | 11:20 |
| burkmat | J-_, Depending on where you store your vital information... I'd say encrypt that. /root is quite useless imo, but I'd say it's even better if you run w/o swap (if you can) and just have an encrypted container where you keep stuff you don't want people stealing? | 11:20 |
| dr_Willis | chumbo, wine /path/to/whatever/game.exe | 11:21 |

| shabgard | one minute | 12:28 |
| bakarat | i have to start up the screenshot tool and tell it to take a screenshot with a delay! :| | 12:28 |
| dr_Willis | bakarat, ive seen 'screen shot' apps that you give a time delay of a few seconds.. and you can do that.. | 12:28 |
| bakarat | dr_Willis, i know, the point is, why doesn't print screen work... :| | 12:29 |
| dr_Willis | if you hit a key while a menu is upen.. it goes to the menu.. | 12:29 |
| bakarat | i would think that to be pretty easy? | 12:29 |
| dr_Willis | You could set up an app to uise printscreen as somthing else. | 12:29 |

| Memfis | rrplay, doesn't timeout just change the time the menu is displayed? I need to change the time it waits to find a harddrive before saying it doesn't exist (rootdelay). | 13:43 |
| Memfis | I have a PC running XUbuntu which has been working fine for months. Since adding another HDD, boot drops to busybox shell saying it cant find the master partition (odd as it just booted from it). If I exit this shell it continues to boot just fine.

| workk1 | now i need help regarding this error | 14:39 |
| workk1 | where shall i go... if Non of you in intelligent enough to solve my prob :( | 14:39 |
| dr_Willis | Try a diffrent listerner port perhaps.. or perhaps ya are accidently runnign tor twice | 14:39 |
| workk1 | when i type tor in command prompt it gives error | 14:40 |
| workk1 | the error i shown you above | 14:40 |
| dr_Willis | You do realize that tor is a service and most likely needs to get ran as root? | 14:40 |
| workk1 | when i click on GUI based vidalia after open it goes off | 14:40 |
| tehboriz | can i install ubuntu 8 on an EXTERNAL hard drive and have it boot if my laptop supports usb boot? | 14:40 |
| workk1 | i searched the hell of ubuntu forums but no reply there | 14:40 |
| workk1 | its like non of ubuntu user is aware of it | 14:41 |
| dr_Willis | workk1, tor has a very well documented homepage as well | 14:41 |
| workk1 | dr_Willis: i followed it | 14:41 |
| Jewbacca | hi, when im trying to load a script on xchat i get this error Unknown file type /home/ishai/.xchat2/perform. Maybe you need to install the Perl or Python plugin? | 14:41 |
| Jewbacca | Usage: LOAD [-e] <file>, loads a plugin or script | 14:41 |
| workk1 | if you can make a pvt then i can share importent things with you | 14:41 |
| dr_Willis | I know very little about tor other then what i followed in the guides. | 14:41 |
| dr_Willis | and last i used TOR was proberly a year+ ago. I dident find it that usefull for me | 14:42 |
| tehboriz | can i install ubuntu 8 on an EXTERNAL hard drive and have it boot if my laptop supports usb boot? | 14:43 |
| ziroday | tehboriz: yes | 14:43 |
| workk1 | dr_Willis: when i tried to run it as a root user it gives the same error | 14:43 |
| tehboriz | ziroday, is the process difficult | 14:43 |
| dr_Willis | tehboriz, ive seen it done befor. there are some things to watch out for | 14:43 |
| workk1 | when when i tried to run vidalia so it gives error that it is already running, if not then similar process running | 14:43 |
| ziroday | tehboriz: take a look at the "Create a USB Boot disk" program on the livecd | 14:43 |
| workk1 | i checked " TOP" to see if it is running | 14:43 |
| tehboriz | dr_Willis, prob is i'm not such a linux fan but it loosk like i'm gonna have to use it because my sata controllers stopped working | 14:44 |
| dr_Willis | seting up a Live-desktop with peristant save is fairly easy thats what the 'create usb boot' does,,. thats not quite the same as an install,. | 14:44 |
| workk1 | but i got no clue there of any deamon running by tor or vidalia name | 14:44 |
| tehboriz | so i don't know much | 14:44 |
| Myrtti | workk1: you checked with "ps axu | grep <process name>"? | 14:44 |
| tehboriz | can i get a full install with usb boot functionality? | 14:44 |
| dr_Willis | tehboriz, "Create a USB Boot disk" and a 4gb thumbdrive - can make a handy system | 14:44 |
| tehboriz | and what's the best distro to go with? size isn't an issue | 14:44 |
| workk1 | Myrtti: nops | 14:44 |
| ziroday | tehboriz: yes, but its dangerous. You can mess stuff up a treat. | 14:44 |
| workk1 | what's the syntax of complete command | 14:44 |
| dr_Willis | tehboriz, a full install is also possible. but theres ofte glitzs in that setup | 14:44 |
| Myrtti | workk1: try "ps axu | grep vidalia" then | 14:45 |
| tehboriz | dammit | 14:45 |
| workk1 | dr_Willis: yup i installed it as live destop | 14:45 |
| ziroday | tehboriz: thats why its recommended to use the "Create a USB Boot Disk" program | 14:45 |

| workk1 | Myrtti: : ok how can it be stopped? what's the syntax of command to stop this running process vidalia | 14:52 |
| ziroday | tehboriz: right, well then you wubi won't help you. Just use the "Create a USB disk option" on the livecd and install to it | 14:52 |

| Threetimes | Lasivian: anything that works as a usb thumb drive is ok - look for "no driver" in your local shop | 14:57 |
| Jeruvy | Threetimes: I can't be certain since I have no idea what devices you are connecting, what protocals they support, etc. etc. Review the documentation with your hardware and try to reset the connection between the devices. It could be they do not support a common protocal (rare..) | 14:57 |
| f_newton | workk1, you can always kill all pid | 14:57 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | got a little question to ask if that is okay... When I run the command : stat -c%s file1 > $test it says "bash: $test: ambiguous redirect". How do I sort out this problem? | 14:57 |
| AgentGreen | workk1, first you bow down three times and light incense | 14:57 |
| f_newton | AgentGreen, that is why I so dislike using terms like gods etc in a help room | 14:58 |
| workk1 | f_newton: how? | 14:58 |
| ziroday | AgentGreen: do you have something we can help you with? | 14:58 |
| fifthOf5 | what is the convention here for prefixing things with '!' ? | 14:58 |

| bullgard4 | Why can mc display the contents of the file /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/kino.mo but not Poedit? | 15:04 |
| ziroday | Fund: well that would be a reinstall, did you read the guide in !upgrade? | 15:04 |
| dr_Willis | AgentGreen, check the various documets/tutorials on sudo. It has a variaty of uses to allow specifi users to do specilized admin tasks. the way 'sudo command' works is the most general way its used. | 15:04 |
| setuid | n8tuserf, There's triggers there already | 15:04 |
| setuid | n8tuserf, I just don't know where they go | 15:04 |
| AgentGreen | ziroday, easy, reboot and press esc and opted for root without X | 15:04 |
| Paddy_EIRE | bullgard4, they are two different applications perhaps ;O | 15:05 |
| ziroday | AgentGreen: right, and your point is? | 15:05 |
| setuid | apm/suspend.d/ or acpi/suspend.d/ or somewhere else | 15:05 |
| n8tuserf | setuid -> look into how the scripts in /etc/event.d are done.. those are event triggers and response script i believe | 15:05 |
| AgentGreen | ziroday, that anyone can do this making redundant the security function of having a password | 15:05 |
| Fund | if I have Feisty I cant upgrade to Interpid | 15:05 |
| Fund | right??? | 15:05 |
| Paddy_EIRE | right | 15:05 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !upgrade | 15:06 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 15:06 |
| bullgard4 | Paddy_EIRE: This is certainly true but does not answer my questions. | 15:06 |
| Fund | just to Gutsy | 15:06 |
| ziroday | AgentGreen: physical access always mean root access. No matter what OS you're using. You can set a bios and grub password if you wish. | 15:06 |
| dr_Willis | AgentGreen, thats one way to get into recvovery mode.. you can priotext that more if you want. | 15:06 |
| Paddy_EIRE | bullgard4, yeah.. it does | 15:06 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :) | 15:06 |
| ziroday | Fund: you need to go through gutsy, and then to hardy, and then to intrepid. You can't go straight from gusty to intrepid | 15:06 |
| dr_Willis | AgentGreen, the thing to rember about linux is that its MUCH more then a 'single user/desktop' OS. | 15:06 |
| setuid | I guess I could just put it in an hourly cron job | 15:07 |
| n8tuserf | Fund -> if you are contemplating upgrade, do a fresh install, not a chain of upgrades | 15:07 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I agree with n8tuserf Fund | 15:07 |
| AgentGreen | dr_Willis, ok, right, that may be the key for me understanding the reason for sudo... It just seemed superflous if all anyone had to do was go into recovery mode to change password and theryby access the entire system | 15:07 |
| ziroday | n8tuserf: he is upgrading his VPS, its not so easy to just stick a disk in | 15:08 |
| Guest687 | Hey all. Just installed v8.10 Ubuntu over the top of FC3 (Formatted Partition, etc.). All I'm getting now is GNU GRUB v0.95. grub> prompt. What can I do to fix this? | 15:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !grub | 15:08 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 15:08 |
| ziroday | Guest687: reinstall grub | 15:08 |
| AgentGreen | dr_Willis, i thougth the password was more sacred than that. For eg, lose/forget it and you need to reinstall entire os. That would give the passwd meaning | 15:08 |
| n8tuserf | ziroday -> i dont know what a VPS term is, but it can be done with such things a debootstrap, no need for cdrom | 15:08 |
| dr_Willis | AgentGreen, you could boot a live cd and get to most anything anyway. | 15:08 |
| ziroday | n8tuserf: virtual private server, as in its in a different country, no physical access | 15:09 |
| dr_Willis | having to reinstall due to a frogotten password = Microsoft thinking. :) | 15:09 |
| Fund | W: GPG error: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com feisty-backports Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5 | 15:09 |
| Fund | what is that | 15:09 |
| ziroday | AgentGreen: and you can change the windows password if you forget it too. Once again physical access = root access. | 15:09 |
| ziroday | Fund: it is a warning, don't worry about it. | 15:09 |
| Memfis | HOMEMADEJAM, give me a mo, I think I may have the answer | 15:10 |
| n8tuserf | ziroday -> thats limits one abilities to do upgrade of new os, lest there are facilities to allow for them | 15:10 |
| chester_m | Hi everybody, there's something that stop me to change definitivly to ubuntu, it's iTunes, ok i know that exists a lot of altetrnatives, i tried all of them. I tried to install iTunes by wine and now by Playonlinux (a frontend of wine), works but very very slowly, anyonw knows a way to do things working good? (sorry bad english) | 15:10 |
| bazhang | chester_m, wine is it. | 15:10 |
| AgentGreen | ziroday, seems lock and key is more meaningful then in terms of passwd. Now i see that it actually means nothing as it stands coz one can jsut change it in 2secs | 15:10 |
| bazhang | chester_m, if you must have iTunes that is | 15:10 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | Memfis, Okay sure, thanks :) | 15:10 |
| ziroday | AgentGreen: correct, and its always been like that. No matter what OS you use | 15:11 |
| chester_m | bazhang, but iTunes works really really slow | 15:11 |
| dr_Willis | Theres 'secure' theres 'paranoid' then theres 'tinfoil hat paranoid' | 15:11 |
| dr_Willis | :) | 15:11 |
| ziroday | AgentGreen: you can limit it by encrypting your hard drive, bios and grub passwords access but bottom line is physical access = root access | 15:11 |
| n8tuserf | chester_m -> i dont know if vlc plays itunes format, you tried yet? | 15:11 |
| AgentGreen | LOL, when i think of my linux guru at the time who made me conjure up large long complicated passwords that no one would ever break when anyone can actually come along and change it - like that | 15:11 |
| AgentGreen | well, thx for explaining a little | 15:12 |
| dr_Willis | Without Physical security - you got no actual security. :) thats why you keep the server rooms locked. | 15:12 |
| chester_m | itunes format? n8tuserf, there's no itunes format :p i want itunes because it organizes my music in a perfect way | 15:12 |
| setuid | And networked machines unplugged | 15:12 |
| setuid | ;) | 15:12 |
| ziroday | AgentGreen: well thats because unauthorized remote access is a helluva lot more likely then unauthorized physical access, as well as that the latter is easier to combat | 15:12 |
| AgentGreen | right | 15:12 |
| Izinucs | chester_m: if you must have iTunes then run windows as either a dual boot or inside of virtual box as a vm | 15:13 |
| n8tuserf | chester_m -> i dont know, i dont play music much, im ignorant of such formats. | 15:13 |
| oCean_ | HOMEMADEJAM: well, the $file has to be declared first. If it's an empty variable, that's the error you'll get | 15:13 |

| Izinucs | chester_m: your options are limited... pick one.. have you tried songbird? | 15:14 |

| blueeyez | At this moment i got 3 GB ddr2 667 MHZ ram in my laptop, would it do so many chnages if i upgraded to 4 GB ram? | 15:15 |
| setuid | blueeyez, Yes, well... Windows wouldn't support it and Linux would go faster | 15:16 |
| Threetimes | Is there anyway of using an iPod with linux (i believe you need iTunes, but I don't like wine, vm's and dual-booting) - or anyway without iTunes? | 15:16 |
| oCean_ | HOMEMADEJAM: err, there is a typo in my command, 2nd should be "stat -c%s file > $myfile" , where 'file' is the actual file you want to stat | 15:16 |
| ziroday | Threetimes: which ipod? | 15:16 |
| blueeyez | well i only use Linux:) | 15:16 |
| HOMEMADEJAM | oCean_, thanks, I'll give that a try | 15:16 |

| Izinucs | blueeyez: linux 32 bit will only see 3.x of the ram as well.. | 15:17 |
| a | ziroday, I have tried it but it is missing the NETWORKING part | 15:18 |
| n8tuserf | Guest687 -> try remastering it | 15:18 |
| ziroday | blueeyez: well there is your answer, note that you will need 64bit to use 4GB's of ram | 15:18 |
| ziroday | a | 15:18 |
| Guest687 | How would I do that? | 15:18 |
| blueeyez | Why does Linux 32 bit not see more then 3 GB? | 15:18 |
| ziroday | a: networking part? | 15:18 |
| n8tuserf | Guest687 -> kindly google for such topic | 15:18 |

| HINDYhat | Yes I have. | 15:20 |
| n8tuserf | HINDYhat -> what chip does your wifi card have? | 15:20 |
| HINDYhat | My card is a WMP54GS. | 15:21 |

| HINDYhat | I've also installed ndisgtk. | 15:22 |
| nite_johnboy | *someone | 15:22 |
| HINDYhat | It tells me that the hardware was detected after installing the drivers. | 15:22 |
| HINDYhat | Yet still, nothing. | 15:23 |
| bazhang | HINDYhat, and ifconfig lists it? | 15:23 |
| HINDYhat | Yup. | 15:23 |
| perlmonkey | hi, I've just installed Ubuntu 8.04 with the intention of installing the Ubuntu Mythtv package.. is it worth while reinstalling from the Mythubuntu 8.04 iso instead? | 15:23 |
| HINDYhat | iwconfig also lists wlan0 as a wireless interface. I've tried manually configuring the network via the terminal. | 15:23 |
| bazhang | HINDYhat, and you associated with an ap? | 15:23 |
| a | I have a netgear WIFI card which cost me 9 bucks and it worked right from the start | 15:23 |

| Jewbacca | why txt files are unknown type for me? :( | 15:25 |

| Izinucs | aolko: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 15:37 |
| savvas | aolko: case sensitive though | 15:37 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, when i open rars files, next to the .txt files i also have type unknown | 15:37 |
| perlmonkey | is a 64 bit OS better? | 15:37 |
| perlmonkey | will go faster? | 15:37 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: so they are unknown types then | 15:38 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: speak to the person you got them off | 15:38 |
| ikonia | perlmonkey: no | 15:38 |
| perlmonkey | :-/ | 15:38 |
| a | Pearlmonkey.. only if you have lots of memmory | 15:38 |
| NativeAngels | i would like to know is it possible to | 15:38 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, i fixed it last time, i cant remember how | 15:38 |
| perlmonkey | i got 1 gb | 15:38 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, those files are mine, they are backups | 15:38 |
| Izinucs | perlmonkey: not neccessarily | 15:38 |
| nite_johnboy | n8tuserf; So would you say this would be one of the best links to send along to here in an email ? < https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported > | 15:38 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: run "file" against them | 15:38 |
| n8tuserf | nite_johnboy -> my experience with usb wifi stuff is not positive in linux, so i dont recommend any | 15:38 |
| bazhang | aolko, savvas ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop are the packages to install | 15:38 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, what do you mean | 15:38 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: I mean run the command "file" against them | 15:38 |
| a | pearlmonkey, that is too little, you pprobably need 4gb or more | 15:39 |
| aolko | And where is russian support IRC channel? | 15:39 |
| NativeAngels | is it possible to create ips on a linux box | 15:39 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, against who? :( | 15:39 |
| n8tuserf | nite_johnboy -> that seems a good place to start, yes | 15:39 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: the files | 15:39 |
| perlmonkey | phew | 15:39 |
| savvas | bazhang: doesn't that replace xubuntu-desktop? | 15:39 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, how | 15:39 |
| Izinucs | !ru | aolko | 15:39 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: run the command "file" against the physical files | 15:39 |
| perlmonkey | will upgrade | 15:39 |
| ubottu | aolko: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 15:39 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, i dont understand | 15:39 |
| bazhang | savvas, no; you just log into the new environment | 15:39 |
| n8tuserf | NativeAngels -> what are you asking? ips? | 15:39 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: there is a command - called "file" run it against the files you are having a problem with | 15:39 |
| qcjn | hi, need help with rsync http://qcjn.pastebin.ca/1343722 | 15:40 |
| savvas | bazhang: ah, ok, thanks for the tip! | 15:40 |
| nite_johnboy | n8tuserf; Ok cool - Where she lives she can not easily get a CAT5 ethernet cable to her computer. | 15:40 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, cant you just tell me why i cant extract .txt files? :( | 15:40 |
| perlmonkey | will i get capped if i download an iso? im on Virgin Media | 15:40 |
| calamari | jewbacca, you cant extract text files, they arent archives | 15:40 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: you don't extract text files - I'm asking you to run file so we can find out more info to help you fix it | 15:40 |
| Jewbacca | calamari, they are in archive | 15:40 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: then they are not text files | 15:40 |
| a | Perlmonkey, but even if you upgrade the memry and the OD, the applications need to be programed for running in 64bit | 15:40 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: what are you trying to do? real live example? | 15:41 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, yes they are, i already done that before but i forgot how | 15:41 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, ah? | 15:41 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: archives are not text files | 15:41 |
| nite_johnboy | n8userf; For me it's a no brainer - just run some CAT5 - put on ends and I'm done. | 15:41 |
| perlmonkey | a: i'm going to run only the 64 bit Mythubuntu iso | 15:41 |
| n8tuserf | nite_johnboy -> oh well, you can send her one, | 15:41 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: run file against the physical files so we can find out more info | 15:41 |
| NativeAngels | i would like to know when customers go to a hosting company, there customers are given ips for there shells how do they assign these to the customers | 15:41 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, the text files are in the archive 8D | 15:41 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: post the text file at http://paste.ubuntu.com | 15:41 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: text files are not an archive | 15:41 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, its a cfg from my game | 15:41 |
| a | so it will be hard to notive any difference un spedd, you are probably going to go slower, Where you will see a huge difference is running databases | 15:41 |
| perlmonkey | a: i like your nick the best | 15:41 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, the text files re inside an archive 8( | 15:41 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: run file against them so we can find out more info | 15:41 |
| Izinucs | Jewbacca: right mouse click the archive | 15:41 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: what's the name of the archive? | 15:42 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: then stop arguing and do the debugging we ask for | 15:42 |
| savanik | Does anyone know what the proper channel to ask about getting compile errors would be? For things like "'atof' was not declared in this scope" when I know I included stdlib.h | 15:42 |
| a | 64bit is not there yet, in my opinion | 15:42 |
| Jewbacca | savanik, its my archive, its called etconfig | 15:42 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, its .rar | 15:42 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: then: unrar x etconfig.rar | 15:42 |
| perlmonkey | 64bit is not ready for mainstream consumption | 15:42 |
| n8tuserf | savanik -> try #c | 15:42 |
| ikonia | savvas: in the source maintainers channel | 15:42 |
| a | thanks perlmonkey | 15:42 |
| perlmonkey | but has some advantages in certain applications, is what you're saying | 15:42 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, when i extract the files, everything extract except the txt files | 15:42 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: run the debugging we are asking for | 15:43 |
| a | yes, 64bit for database servers is the best | 15:43 |
| nite_johnboy | n8tuserf; I think that is best suggestion - I will test a few here in my office - and send it to her in the mail. She is a proud little 16yr old and didn't want Papa to send her one - BUt would be best way to go. | 15:43 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: follow ikonia's commands and debugging requests :) | 15:43 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, how do i dubbug | 15:43 |
| a | I have one at work with 16gb of memory and it is fast as hell | 15:43 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: your on your own now | 15:43 |

| savvas | Jewbacca: ikonia asks you questions, you answer | 15:43 |
| nite_johnboy | n8tuserf; Thanks | 15:44 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, i listen but i dont understand | 15:44 |
| Jewbacca | im new | 15:44 |
| perlmonkey | is Intel 1.6Ghz dual core 64 bit | 15:44 |
| nite_johnboy | bazhang; THanks | 15:44 |
| Jewbacca | you say run debug, wtf is debug | 15:44 |
| ikonia | perlmonkey: this is not hardware | 15:44 |
| n8tuserf | nite_johnboy -> you are welcome | 15:44 |
| a | Has anyboy been able to get a PPTP vpn client to work on XUBUNTU? | 15:44 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: control your language please | 15:44 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, core2duo? | 15:44 |
| perlmonkey | i dunno dual core it says | 15:44 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, what seems obvious for you, might not be the same for others | 15:44 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, core2 is core duo is not | 15:45 |
| a | Dual core means you have two CPUs | 15:45 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, so when you say run debug or run, it doesnt say anything to me | 15:45 |
| ironrose | I keep getting "Reading Files Needed to Boot" when booting Ubuntu. Its not an error that prevents anything, it's just an annoyance. It has to do with my swap drive. I just dunno how to fix it. Please help. | 15:45 |

| Jewbacca | ikonia, i have an archive (rar) which i put txt files inside it | 15:45 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: iptables is the core firewall | 15:45 |
| n8tuserf | josher4 -> iptables | 15:45 |
| savanik | josher4 - ipchains | 15:45 |
| josher4 | thanks | 15:45 |
| Fund | when I use svn co url | 15:45 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: I read your problem and gave you specific instructions to do so we could debug and gain more info | 15:45 |
| perlmonkey | i've been targetted | 15:46 |
| ikonia | savanik: ipchains is dead | 15:46 |
| oCean_ | perlmonkey: "sudo lshw -C cpu" shows you all the details on your cpu | 15:46 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, you told me to run against files, i have no idea what that means | 15:46 |
| Titan8990 | ironrose, I believe the only way around that is to not use initrd | 15:46 |
| savvas | ikonia: mind if I step in? | 15:46 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: re-read - I didn't tell you that | 15:46 |
| perlmonkey | oCean_ thanks | 15:46 |
| ikonia | savvas: please | 15:46 |
| n8tuserf | Jewbacca -> i suspect you have one of those warez .rar files and you are trying to extract it? | 15:46 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, i have a rar archive on my desktop, what should i do | 15:46 |
| Fund | ircd@3464:/$ svn co https://evilnet.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/eviln/nefarious-1.2/ | 15:46 |

| savvas | Jewbacca: let's start from the top | 15:46 |
| savanik | Ah, iptables it is, then. | 15:46 |
| Jewbacca | n8tuserf, no, its my backup config for my game | 15:46 |
| ikonia | Fund: you don't have permissions to the directory you want to extract to | 15:46 |
| ironrose | Titan8990: whats initrd? | 15:46 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: you want to extract a text file that's in a etconfig.rar file, right? | 15:46 |
| perlmonkey | feels hot like summer in UK | 15:46 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, yep | 15:46 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: ok, where is that etconfig.rar located? do you know the full path to it? | 15:47 |
| Titan8990 | ironrose, it is what allows linux to boot on any hardware | 15:47 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, its located inside the desktop | 15:47 |
| a | XUBUNTU and PPTP anybody? Please? | 15:47 |
| ikonia | a: that's not a question | 15:48 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: ok, open a new terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and execute: cd Desktop | 15:48 |
| ikonia | a: that's just random words, if you want help please ask a question | 15:48 |
| ironrose | Titan8990: but before i deleted the original swap drive, it was fine | 15:48 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, im there | 15:48 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: ok now type: file etconfig.rar | 15:48 |
| Titan8990 | ironrose, did you update /etc/fstab to point to the new swap drive? | 15:48 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: what does the command reply? | 15:48 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, etconfig.rar: RAR archive data, v1d, os: Win32 | 15:48 |

| Jewbacca | i get this error when im trying to load a script on xchat, its a .txt file Unknown file type /home/ishai/.xchat2/perform. Maybe you need to install the Perl or Python plugin? | 15:54 |
| Jewbacca | Usage: LOAD [-e] <file>, loads a plugin or script | 15:54 |
| n8tuserf | Maarek -> mozilla has a plugin to switch user agent | 15:54 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: the error message is making it clear | 15:54 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: the file type is unknown to xchat it is suggesting you need a plugin to interperate it | 15:54 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, what you assume is obvious might no be the same with others | 15:54 |
| Maarek | n8tuserf: switch user agent? | 15:54 |
| Maarek | in Windows | 15:55 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: it's telling you in clear english | 15:55 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, english is not my native lang | 15:55 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: plus I've also told you a few lines up | 15:55 |

| Izinucs | ikonia: pretend he doesn't know anything about a computer .. what would you suggest he do? | 15:55 |
| n8tuserf | Maarek -> yes -- mozilla has a plugin called user agent switcher | 15:55 |

| Izinucs | Ubuntubruger9: what kind of video card do you have? | 15:56 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: the application xchat does not know how to deal with the type of data that is in that file, it is suggesting you may need a plugin or a module (perl/python) to interperate the data in that file | 15:56 |
| Jewbacca | dougl, no | 15:56 |
| rocko | how do I know what driver my card is using ? | 15:56 |

| Maarek | n8tuserf: I just ran the install, but it's still showing the asp code instead of what suppose to be there | 15:56 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, no since how i install python? | 15:57 |
| oCean_ | Jewbacca: why not focus on the help savvas is offering you. He's doing a great job in helping you. | 15:57 |
| Jewbacca | ikonia, there are 2 cmds in that file, auth and mode | 15:57 |
| n8tuserf | Maarek -> asp is windows centric, | 15:57 |
| Izinucs | ikonia: it restates the error he's getting but not how to remedy it. | 15:57 |
| Jewbacca | when i write them on xchat its working | 15:57 |
| Jewbacca | when i write them as script its not working | 15:57 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: you open the package manager and search for "python" then mark it for install, however I don't think it's just python, I suspect you'll need a an xchat module, rather than python | 15:57 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: ok, so what are you trying to do with the files from etconfig.rar ? | 15:57 |
| Maarek | n8tuserf: yeah figures, I'll stick with php, I find it much easier anyways | 15:57 |

| Jewbacca | no no i remember last time some guy told me to install something and everything worked | 15:58 |

| savvas | Jewbacca: that's the backup? or the one from Desktop? | 16:08 |

| Jewbacca | savvas, its the original | 16:09 |
| n8tuserf | Clinteger -> cat /proc/version | 16:09 |

| sdoq | hi! what are the voip app on linux that can help a 3-way conference in a pc-to-pc call? | 16:09 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, just tell me what type you see inside the archive | 16:09 |
| ironrose | n8tuserf: Upon booting, instead of loading the splash it loads a text boot "Reading Files needed to boot" then it lists about a screen and a half of stuff it checks, then boots normally. Its just an annoyance. I had it working before i messed with my swap drive. | 16:10 |
| sdoq | hi! what are the voip app on linux that can held a 3-way conference in a pc-to-pc call? | 16:10 |
| Clinteger | n8tuserf, that doesn't tell which version of ubuntu though.. only kernel and stuff | 16:10 |
| easytarget | n8tuserf: is the same as uname -a, does not give -ubuntu- version but linux version | 16:10 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: so when you open this in WinRAR you see .txt files in it? | 16:10 |
| rocko | n8tuserf https://pastebin.ca/raw/1343734 what driver am I using ? | 16:10 |
| Izinucs | sdoq: I think ekiga has conference rooms.. if not gizmo does but doesn't have the best voice quality.. really depends on connection | 16:10 |
| dio444 | lzinucs: just any admin function from the gui fails, but shell sudo for the same command works. eg, I can start synaptic from the shell with "sudo synaptic" | 16:11 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, yes, when i drag-and-drop, it doesnt do that :( | 16:11 |
| n8tuserf | ironrose -> minor stuff, anyhow you can remove your /etc/fstab entry for swap and reboot, see if it makes a difference | 16:11 |
| Clinteger | hm. | 16:11 |
| ironrose | n8tuserf: remove it so it has no UUID? | 16:12 |
| Clinteger | so I think I'm only on a beta of 8.04 :< | 16:12 |

| Clinteger | I think I'm on an old version of 8.04 LTS, can I apt-get upgrade this to current version of 8.04? | 16:13 |
| ironrose | n8tuserf: So if I delete the swap partition, it should be fine? | 16:13 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: how old is this .rar file? | 16:13 |

| josher4 | ikonia: Thanks so much! | 16:13 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: answer his questions if you want help | 16:14 |
| n8tuserf | ironrose -> i meant remove the entry in /etc/fstab, comment it out | 16:14 |
| Izinucs | dio444: weird.. I looked in synaptic for gksudo and didn't come up with anything.. looking for sudo I came up with kdesudo .. the kde equivelent of gksudo.. sorry I'm not sure how gksudo is implemented in gnome.. | 16:14 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, its few days old | 16:14 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: you admit you are new and don't know much, so responding to his debugging would be good | 16:14 |
| Jewbacca | and my friend can extract it | 16:14 |
| Clinteger | Titan8990, okay, well the recommended stuff is to use the GUI stuff.. I'm used to plain debian, and I didn't know if Ubuntu changed anything that would break compatibility :P | 16:14 |
| Titan8990 | Clinteger, I don't recommend a GUI for anything | 16:14 |
| Clinteger | hehe I see. | 16:14 |
| Clinteger | I don't use the ubuntu computer with a gui though | 16:15 |
| Clinteger | i just use it for my irssi :) | 16:15 |
| Clinteger | anyway, see you later. | 16:15 |
| Titan8990 | Clinteger, sometimes aptitude update will hold things back and you may need: aptitude full-upgrade | 16:15 |
| Titan8990 | Clinteger, good luck | 16:15 |

| savvas | Jewbacca: are you sure 10000% that this the etconfig.rar with the .txt files, and not one other file? | 16:15 |

| Huufarted | rsync question over Samba. WindowsXP share on NTFS mounted to Ubuntu Linux. using rsync to copy files from NTFS on XP to FAT32 on Linux. It seems to arbitrarily maintain the case sensitivity of the file names. Any reason why that anybody else can see? http://paste.ubuntu.com/121081 | 16:16 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, yes | 16:16 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, i only remember i need to install 1 thing and its all fixed ;( | 16:16 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: can you tell your friend to send me the copy of the file they have? | 16:16 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, why are you rsyncing over samba? | 16:16 |
| Jewbacca | savvas, he just went off | 16:16 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, rsync doesn't need an extra overhead to transfer files over a network | 16:17 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: send me your file - I'll open it in windows now | 16:17 |
| ikonia | Jewbacca: that way I can see if there are text files in it | 16:17 |
| n8tuserf | rocko -> did you look inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 16:17 |
| Huufarted | titan8990, perhaps it's not Samba, then. I assumed it was Samba since it's from an XP machine | 16:17 |
| savvas | ikonia: http://cohenishai.wippiespace.com/ | 16:17 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, rysnc daemons work with both windows and linux | 16:17 |

| savvas | Jewbacca: a simple question: are you trying to install enemy territory and you can't install it? | 16:17 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, you should take samba out of the equation completly | 16:18 |

I copied /home, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/profile, /etc/gshadow from a working 8.04 install to a new 8.04 machine (intended as an upgrade to the old) hoping to get the users transfered, but after I did it none of the admins have gui admin privilages.

| Huufarted | ikonia, he's not misleading. Windows hides the REAL extension if it's disabled | 16:24 |
| savvas | Jewbacca: so you want to use that etconfig to play enemy territory? | 16:25 |
| Jewbacca | in order to make .cfg you need to open a text file ! | 16:25 |
| ikonia | Huufarted: he said he wanted the .txt files in that archive - there are none | 16:25 |
| Izinucs | Jewbacca: all the .cfg files were extracted from your rar file.. if you couldn't find them .. well look harder.. | 16:25 |
| Huufarted | he more than likely saved the file as .cfg, but windows adds .txt to the end if he used Notepad | 16:25 |

| abc2xyz | n8tuserf>>>i created a bootable usb stick, but when i try to boot using it, the scree freezes at the boot screen | 16:55 |
| n3rd4i | how can i configure a live CD as my own settings? | 16:55 |
| abc2xyz | n8tuserf>>> pressing f2 or f12 doesnt work either | 16:55 |
| bswanson | Hi, sektor. I'm a newbie, and basically don't know squat, so I'd ask for patience. | 16:56 |
| n3rd4i | like the browser that i want and stuff | 16:56 |
| jtaji | axisys: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136159 | 16:56 |
| sektor1952 | When I ssh to my ubuntu box it takes about 30 seconds before I get a password prompt after I type the username | 16:56 |
| Huufarted | Titan8990: Now I'm really confused. deltacopy is going and running, but nmap is not seeing the port at all. As far as nmap is concerned, DeltaCopy isn't running. | 16:56 |
| wiijii | Hi guys, does anyone know how I can revert my ath9k wireless driver that Ubuntu seems to have installed? I want the ath5k back but can't find it anywhere | 16:56 |
| n8tuserf | abc2xyz -> you installed to the usb dongle via the livecd? | 16:56 |
| zelda | enable linux-backports-modules-generic | 16:57 |
| wiijii | For ath5k? | 16:57 |
| n8tuserf | wiijii -> remove it from /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers perhaps? somewhere in that kernel/* look for it and remove it | 16:57 |
| zelda | er you have to install that. | 16:57 |
| zelda | yea | 16:57 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, delta copy should just be used as a client for now | 16:57 |
| abc2xyz | n8tuserf>>> i downloaded the image file online and created the bootable USB stick using ubuntu 8.10 in a desktop | 16:57 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, so you need to nmap the linux box | 16:58 |
| wiijii | n8tuserf Yeah I can remove ath9k but I need the ath5k module | 16:58 |
| wiijii | I'll try enabling back porst | 16:58 |
| axisys | jtaji: whats the difference between sata and ata-6 ? (newbie) | 16:58 |
| zelda | yeah. | 16:58 |
| zelda | wiijii: yeah that should work | 16:58 |
| wiijii | Cheers, will give it a crack now | 16:58 |
| jtaji | axisys: sata has replaced ide/ata, you won't find much more new drives with ata | 16:58 |
| n3rd4i | can anyone help me ? | 16:58 |
| Huufarted | Titan8990: why just as a client? I understand what you're saying, though. | 16:58 |
| n8tuserf | abc2xyz -> press esc when booting, and try to insert vga=791 and remove quiet and splash to on the grub menu | 16:59 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, because you are sending files from the windows box | 17:00 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, it doesn't need to listen for incoming connections, because the connection should be outgoing in your case | 17:00 |
| Huufarted | Titan8990: it's because I'm connecting from the linux box, though. | 17:00 |
| Huufarted | Titan8990: I'm trying to pull from the xp box using rsync, so rsync should be connecting to DeltaCopy, or am I missing something? | 17:01 |
| n8tuserf | Titan8990 -> seems like a error prone transfer, no way to listen back for confirmation.. | 17:01 |
| bswanson | I've got a problem and don't know how to resolve it. I recently added a router to my system so my son's laptop can get connected. But doing so slowed down my desktop PC to the point that it is nearly unusable. My provider (unfortunately) is Verizon DSL. Any ideas? | 17:01 |
| zelda | bswanson: what kind of router? | 17:02 |
| axisys | jtaji: trying to see if I can find ata/6 drive in microcenter.. since they are next door | 17:02 |
| Izinucs | bswanson: is the router now setup to "dial" into the dsl account or is one of the pc's suppose to do that? | 17:02 |
| n8tuserf | bswanson -> can you elaborate exactly what your network layout looks like? where did you attached this device, what devices are on the network | 17:02 |
| wiijii | And where does Ubuntu put its startup modules? Presumably I need to blacklist ath9k somewhere | 17:03 |

| wiijii | ta | 17:03 |
| jtaji | axisys: since you are in -offtopic I will take this there | 17:03 |
| n8tuserf | wiijii -> look into /etc/modprobe.d/ | 17:03 |
| zelda | You can enable it by checkin in the updates and clicking unsupported updates(backports) | 17:04 |
| arvind_khadri | n8tuserf, wiijii if you blacklist in /etc/modules it wont be loaded | 17:04 |
| zelda | that works too | 17:04 |
| n8tuserf | arvind_khadri -> you wont find it in /etc/modules | 17:05 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| arvind_khadri | n8tuserf, you wont find anything there... you have to use blacklist as a keyword... afaik | 17:05 |
| pranith | hello, how do i join the ubuntu testing team? | 17:05 |
| Titan8990 | ! jaunty | pranith | 17:06 |
| ubottu | pranith: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 17:06 |
| Titan8990 | pranith, install, start testing, and discuss, but not in this channel | 17:06 |
| wiijii | No mention of ath9k in /modules - I guess HAL or something was autoloading it? | 17:06 |
| wiijii | But now I want to force ath5k rather than the newer ath9k | 17:06 |
| dougl | when I play back mp3s in my mythtv on ubuntu 8.04 the audible output thru my spdif is too fast (like chipmunks) is this a mythtv issue or alsa issue? | 17:06 |
| XeKtRuM | i cant change my wallpaper, what can I do ? | 17:07 |

| XeKtRuM | zelda, it change the color | 17:09 |
| zelda | do you have admin(root) rights | 17:09 |
| Izinucs | zelda: I have the same issue on my ibex install..I had my own background and suddenly it was gone and a plain gray background was in its place.. nothing I did allowed me to replace it.. and I'm not a total noob.. | 17:09 |
| sektor1952 | any input as the why when I ssh to my ubuntu box after I type in the username I do not get a password prompt right away? | 17:09 |
| pranith | what application do I use for webcam? | 17:09 |
| XeKtRuM | zelda, but it doesnt show any image | 17:09 |
| bertolo | how can i restart my x server ? | 17:10 |
| J2daosh | yeah i told you that | 17:10 |
| n8tuserf | J2daosh -> so activate it okay? | 17:10 |
| plunder-CC | anyone know of any free mumble server sites? | 17:10 |

| J2daosh | n8tuserf: how do i activate it, knetwork manager says its active | 17:10 |
| bswanson | n8userf, I've got the line from the phone jack running into the modem. An ethernet line then runs to the router (wireless type). Then I've got an ethernet line running to my desktop (which doesn't use wireless). | 17:10 |
| bertolo | how can i restart my x server ? | 17:10 |
| roachk71 | bertolo: Assuming you're not in terminal mode, try using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace | 17:11 |
| abc2xyz | n8tuserf>>still the same prob | 17:11 |
| zelda | Maybe its something with the ibex. isnt that beta? | 17:11 |
| ikonia | bertolo: ctral+alt+backspace | 17:11 |
| wiijii | Hmmm the ath9k module is there in /lib/.../net/wireless. But the ath5k one which I just installed from backports is in /usr/src/linux-headers | 17:11 |
| sektor1952 | bertolo are you using gdm? | 17:11 |
| ikonia | zelda: ibex is 8.10 - stable | 17:11 |
| n8tuserf | J2daosh -> i dont use knetwork manager, post your iwconfig results | 17:11 |
| Banjo_ | n8tuserf: This is the responce i got when i typed in "Sudo lshw -C network" http://pastesite.com/5302 | 17:11 |

| Titan8990 | Banjo_, your choice of ath5k madwifi | 17:12 |
| n8tuserf | Banjo_ -> same for you, your wifi is not activated yet, you dont have the driver loaded per your posting | 17:12 |
| bswanson | Zelda: Belkin Wireless G router. | 17:12 |
| Banjo_ | Thanks, ill read the docs then. | 17:12 |
| XeKtRuM | Izinucs, maybe if we remove .gnome and .genome2 folders from /home | 17:12 |
| bertolo | sektor1952: i dont know what x server is...i want to restart it in console | 17:13 |
| XeKtRuM | its gonna reset allot of stuff but it may work | 17:13 |
| Izinucs | XeKtRuM: the only thing I can think of is if someone is connected to your pc using xdmpc or vnc or similar.. | 17:13 |
| n8tuserf | J2daosh -> while you are at it, also post your /etc/network/interfaces file | 17:13 |
| keres | how do you check to see where a symlink leads? | 17:14 |

| zelda | LOL, I was going to say, "follow the cord" | 17:14 |
| keres | thanks | 17:14 |
| XeKtRuM | hahah Izinucs i was thinking the same, in fact yesterday I did connect to my computer from my workplace, and then i los my wallpaper | 17:14 |
| wiijii | Er, so any ideas on getting an old module loaded? I'm getting unknown symbol errors, which suggests I'm using the wrong module for my kernel | 17:14 |
| wiijii | But I just installed the backports for *this* kernel | 17:14 |
| n8tuserf | Banjo_ -> i dont know, i did not suggest that..but search what drivers is needed for your AR chips | 17:14 |
| anonusing1 | if i am trying to remove a program, can i just delete all the files in it's "Programs" folder? | 17:15 |
| Banjo_ | I don't know what my AR chips are. | 17:15 |
| Izinucs | XeKtRuM: that's probably it.. I haven't checked mine today yet.. not in front of it right now. | 17:15 |
| n8tuserf | wiijii -> once you loaded the backports, did you find the ath5k in those subdirs? | 17:15 |
| f_newton | anonusing1, its always best to let the package manager do your deleting | 17:15 |
| abc2xyz | n8tuserf>>is it because the usb stick cant be mounted?// | 17:15 |
| wiijii | Yes | 17:15 |
| f_newton | try using synaptic or apt-get | 17:15 |
| XeKtRuM | mmmm | 17:15 |
| wiijii | /lib/modules/2.6etc/updates/ath5k.ko | 17:15 |

| Banjo_ | Ok thankns | 17:16 |
| windio00 | what is the definition of a distro? | 17:16 |

| wiijii | Where? I'm using the console, I've rmmodded all my network drivers | 17:16 |
| f_newton | ahh well you dont really want my opinion anonusing1 .... I would say just remove wine in its entirety | 17:16 |
| arvind_khadri | windio00, it means distribution... | 17:16 |
| n8tuserf | wiijii -> get the correct path, or I may give you the wrong info | 17:16 |
| wiijii | ok | 17:16 |
| f_newton | Im not a fan of whine or the whiners that use it... | 17:17 |
| anonusing1 | f_newton. ya, i did that already... thanks though | 17:17 |
| n8tuserf | abc2xyz -> i dont know, if you were booting from it, was it enabled as 1st priority in your bios? | 17:17 |
| GratuitousEsq | lshw -C Network shows the adaptor Atheros AR2413, but it says its an ethernet controller and it says its UNCLAIMED | 17:17 |
| wiijii | /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/updates/ath5k.ko | 17:17 |
| windio00 | arvind_khadri, yes but is kbuntu really a different distro or just another type of ubuntu? | 17:17 |
| f_newton | anonusing1, do a whereis first to see where all the files for that are located | 17:17 |
| XeKtRuM | mmm | 17:17 |
| cdavis_ | where is ksynaptics for kubuntu intrepid? I can't find it and wondered it it had a name change | 17:17 |
| zelda | ? | 17:17 |
| arvind_khadri | windio00, its ubuntu with KDE as default desktop | 17:17 |

| anonusing1 | f_newton, my search has not been working since day one | 17:17 |
| n8tuserf | wiijii -> moved it to same locations as where you have found the ath9k earlier, i dont think it loads modules from updates/ subdir | 17:17 |
| windio00 | arvind_khadri, but is it a different distro? | 17:18 |
| f_newton | anonusing1, sudo -i whereis (whatever | 17:18 |
| XeKtRuM | if I restart my session the desktop image appears but then when the panels show up the image its gonne and just the solid color | 17:18 |
| wiijii | n8tuserf But when I use modprobe it is saying that the module from 'updates' could not be loaded | 17:18 |
| XeKtRuM | remains | 17:18 |
| wiijii | I'll try though | 17:18 |
| zelda | like the memory?> | 17:18 |
| arvind_khadri | windio00, yes and no ... as far as i can understand | 17:18 |
| n8tuserf | GratuitousEsq -> well perhaps it is an ethernet card, and not a wifi type of card | 17:18 |
| f_newton | you want the root path anonusing1 so you can find all the folders | 17:18 |
| f_newton | but if you have deleted your z drive and your c drive it should be gone | 17:19 |
| anonusing1 | f_newton, it says it can't execute the binary | 17:19 |

| wiijii | I'll try an absolute path | 17:19 |
| zelda | incompatible hardware? | 17:19 |
| windio00 | arvind_khadri, because i see that there are also "christian" and "muslim" editions of ubuntu that claim to be distros when all it is is a different background and different applications installed | 17:19 |
| GratuitousEsq | n8tuserf -> No, the ethernet adaptor is there and claimed, plus the product reads AE2413 802.1bg NIC | 17:19 |
| f_newton | wine... an unstable and seriously behind, but noble, attempt to make windows apps run in linux.... I mean really... why? | 17:20 |
| GratuitousEsq | sorry, 802.11bg | 17:20 |
| arvind_khadri | windio00, ya exactly... | 17:20 |
| n8tuserf | abc2xyz -> its probably not set to boot? when you format a drive, it has a setting to be bootable? | 17:20 |
| f_newton | vmware yes.... whine no | 17:20 |
| zelda | amen | 17:20 |
| wiijii | Hmmm if I use modprobe /path/to/module it says 'module not found' | 17:21 |
| f_newton | then it aint there | 17:21 |
| windio00 | arvind_khadri, i looked to see if there was a jewish one too but i think it is a joke perhaps "jubuntu"? | 17:21 |
| n8tuserf | GratuitousEsq -> for one, dont have two nics connected to same subnet, lest you know how to make your route table correct, so have one at a time, ethernet or wireles, only one, not both at same time | 17:21 |
| wiijii | If I use insmod it says 'unknown symbol in module' | 17:21 |

| zelda | we windio00 | 17:21 |

| zelda | thats hilarious | 17:21 |
| n8tuserf | wiijii -> yeah you have to man insmod and modprobe to get the correct syntax and where it looks for these modules | 17:22 |
| abc2xyz | n8tuserf>> can u exlain how can i check if its set to boot? sorry i m a newbie. i managed to boot from the same usb stick in a desktop machine | 17:22 |
| f_newton | anonusing1, well you can learn how to use gimp or you can dual boot and keep cs3 on your windows partition but wine is a lot better then it used to be but it still sux | 17:22 |
| wiijii | n8tuserf it is finding the modules, just not loading them | 17:22 |
| n8tuserf | abc2xyz -> same usbdisk is bootable on your desktop? | 17:22 |
| anonusing1 | f_newton, okay thanks | 17:22 |
| Pantung | hey i have a problem, i cannopt setup gui on an ubuntuserver destop edition, i connect with putty | 17:22 |
| abc2xyz | n8tuserf>>>yes | 17:22 |
| zelda | windio00: that would be jewish. | 17:22 |
| n8tuserf | wiijii -> if i recall, ath9k is the recommended one, but you have to google for the excerpts of these, | 17:22 |
| anonusing1 | do u guys think that gimp can ultimately do the same as photoshop? | 17:23 |
| GratuitousEsq | n8tuserf -> They're not on the same subnet, the ethernet isnt plugged in | 17:23 |
| anonusing1 | as it stands today | 17:23 |
| XeKtRuM | how could I revert the changes that remote desktop did yesterday ? | 17:23 |
| n8tuserf | abc2xyz -> then your laptop is not reading that usbdongle correctly eh? | 17:23 |
| windio00 | zelda, yes but i cant tell if it is also a serious project or a joke since people seriously created christian and muslim distros of ubuntu | 17:23 |
| zelda | anon: comparible, but doesnt beat: | 17:23 |
| arvind_khadri | anonusing1, it may not have all the tools that photoshop has, but ya it can | 17:23 |
| f_newton | anonusing1, try to understand that cs3 is very very cpu intensive and wine is as well... its just not a good application of your energy. if you have a powerful enough machine run a vm w/ windows on it or something but wine will just give you heartache if you try to run something as complex as adobe photoshop on it | 17:23 |
| wiijii | n8tuserf I haven't been using ah9k until recently, it just got updated. it does not support packet injection and I need that feature for some work I'm doing | 17:23 |
| abc2xyz | n8tuserf>>exactly | 17:23 |
| n8tuserf | GratuitousEsq -> okay, make sure the correct driver is loaded | 17:23 |

| arvind_khadri | ScottG489, which repo is that | 17:24 |
| wiijii | gnutron I don't want to load it at boot, I just want to load it. | 17:24 |

| n3rd4i | anyone here can aswer me one question ? | 17:25 |
| wiijii | gnutron I'm getting an unknown symbol error | 17:25 |
| f_newton | anonusing1, thats not your fault... remember to put your photoshop on its own partition in windows.... | 17:25 |
| zelda | windio00: that made my day man. | 17:25 |
| anonusing1 | i've been using gimp for some time but, just find that it lacks a lot of support as far tutorials and such... | 17:25 |
| abc2xyz | n8tuserf>>> thats wht i m trying now. wonder if its something specific to acer aspire one machine | 17:25 |
| anonusing1 | ya, i lost my serial key for windows >_< | 17:25 |
| gnutron | wiijii: a modprode module-name should work, lsmod to list the loaded ones | 17:25 |
| n8tuserf | wiijii -> not all wifi drivers support all the features, so yeah you have to go hunting for drivers that meets your needs | 17:25 |

| f_newton | anonusing1, there are gimp support rooms and if you visit gimp site you will find a lot of tutorials etc plus you can ask other users | 17:25 |
| anonusing1 | i actually threw it away when i took apart my case >_< | 17:25 |
| wiijii | gnutron No, that's not what the problem is | 17:25 |
| f_newton | anonusing1, honestly though I much prefer adobe | 17:26 |
| wiijii | n8tuserf This is the correct driver, hence me trying to get it to work | 17:26 |
| anonusing1 | lol | 17:26 |
| n8tuserf | abc2xyz -> i dont know, could be? | 17:26 |

| n3rd4i | i need some mini help | 17:27 |
| anonusing1 | f_newton, i have just been using the trail versions but, also used to use it growing up.. like 7 years ago | 17:27 |
| GratuitousEsq | n8tuserf -> The problem fixed when I changed drivers then changed back, but on restart it didnt work again. | 17:27 |
| n3rd4i | how can i make a live CD with my settings | 17:27 |

| n8tuserf | abc2xyz -> possibly is that setting in the bios? | 17:28 |
| GratuitousEsq | n8tuserf -> I'm not sure, in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers, it says that its active, but it still doesnt work, and deactivating it and reactivating it doesnt fix it. | 17:28 |
| anonusing1 | f_newton, yes, it has a lot of advantages that i just haven't found in gimp | 17:28 |
| Pantung | hey witch program should i use to connect to a remote server if i want to se gui? | 17:28 |
| RussM | Pantung, From what platform, to what platform, over what speed link? | 17:28 |
| jtaji | Pantung: applications > internet > terminal server client for windows, and > remote desktop viewer for Ubuntu/Linux/any VNC server | 17:29 |
| abc2xyz | n8tuserf>>>no i think its related to kernel | 17:29 |
| ScottG489 | arvind_khadri: How do I edit the file to correct that? | 17:29 |
| ScottG489 | arvind_khadri: Or rather, WHAT file do I correct? | 17:29 |
| n8tuserf | abc2xyz -> i dont know then..sorry | 17:29 |
| anonusing1 | f_newton, gimp works well for something but, ya i am trying to use it professionally now. well, will just have to find a way to make do | 17:29 |
| f_newton | anonusing1, no gimp has what you need but its a lot harder to learn. Adobe has spent millions making it work right where gimp is the generous efforts of very hard working volunteers | 17:29 |
| arvind_khadri | ScottG489, gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:29 |
| anonusing1 | THANKS again | 17:29 |
| n8tuserf | GratuitousEsq -> did you ever post the requested /etc/network/interfaces file for me to see? | 17:29 |
| zelda | anon: hence the reason there isnt a good manual | 17:29 |
| Pantung | its from ubuntu to ubuntu RussM jtaji | 17:29 |

| azuke | hey guys. I'm using 8.10 desktop. I'm getting empty core dump files when running an app of mine. What do I do so that dump file isn't empty? | 17:29 |
| f_newton | it will anonusing1 but you are definitely going to have to work at it | 17:30 |
| GratuitousEsq | n8tuserf -> The what? I dont remember you asking me to do that. I'll do it now though | 17:30 |
| gnutron | azuke: man gdb | 17:30 |
| anonusing1 | ya, i definitely appreciate the open source nature of gimp | 17:30 |
| RussM | Pantung, I use VNC. But if you're on a LAN, you could just use X, changing your DISPLAY variable. That's not as good when on a slow link, though. | 17:30 |
| anonusing1 | but get started then :) | 17:31 |
| Pantung | Russ i'm not on lan its a server in holland and i'm den denmark :) | 17:31 |

| zelda | its not the brand, its the hardware man. | 17:31 |
| ScottG489 | arvind_khadri: So I basically should just change all the "ddebs" to "deb" ? | 17:32 |
| Pantung | RussM, then how do i install vnc on the server? | 17:32 |
| zelda | abc > that was at you | 17:32 |

| test34 | Which firewall is the Ubuntu standard ? | 17:32 |
| azuke | gnutron: how is this related to gdb? the core file being created is 0kb. gdb can't read the file | 17:32 |
| zelda | abc2xyz: its not the brand, its really if the hardware is compatible | 17:32 |

| chester_m | Huufarted, it is, but i cancel that and it works slow at the same | 18:01 |
| Huufarted | fearful, you coulda sworn wrong. It does not emulate anything. It replaces the standard Windows APIs with open source ones. It is a windows replacement, it doesn't emulate anything. | 18:01 |

| brel | so, I know people have had issues w/ Intrepid's desktop resolution settings. I know that the monitor+GPU combo that I have is capable of 1600x1200(been there in Windows) however, in 8.10 i am stuck with 640x480.

I have searched the forums along with google and have been unlucky to find a solution. Do you think my drive might have crapped out on me? If so, a warranty would cover that right?

| c0vert | not-a-cat, but it lists the networks? | 19:14 |
| yowshi | eseven73: i solved the problem myself when i found the locomo logitech usb mouse driver in synatpic | 19:14 |
| not-a-cat | c0vert: no...and that's what's bugging me | 19:14 |
| iaindalton | OK, so when sound stops working, kill pulseaudio with extreme prejudice ;-) | 19:14 |
| not-a-cat | c0vert: my windows mashine has like 10 of them (not including mine) | 19:15 |
| austin_ | usser: they work ful screen, but it flickers in windowed, or if i open up a menu | 19:15 |
| * iaindalton wishes sound in ubuntu 8.10 worked as well is in windows 95...or system 7 :P | 19:15 | |
| treeoon | thanks geirha | 19:15 |
| eseven73 | yowshi: ok , well at least you got it going :) | 19:15 |
| treeoon | iaindalton: it does | 19:15 |
| c0vert | not-a-cat, so it's obviously not finding your wifi card, do you know the exact model of it? | 19:15 |
| treeoon | theres too many ways to configure it tho ;) | 19:15 |
| ldlework | How do I run the system administration stuff as root from the menu? | 19:15 |
| yowshi | eseven73: i was just saying if your going to say ubuntu doesnt normally have problems with usb mice you might want to mention that there is a driver you may be lacking | 19:15 |
| austin_ | usser: a friend of mine recommneded to get rid of compositing | 19:15 |
| austin_ | usser: how do i do that | 19:16 |
| yowshi | eseven73: :) | 19:16 |
| usser | austin_, yea that may be one thing, ati doesnt play nice with compiz still to this day | 19:16 |
| eseven73 | yowshi: my computer is giving me fits (with KDE4.2 ) so I probably wasn't pay attention , my bad | 19:16 |
| ldlework | Anyone know how to run something like Users and Groups as root from the menu? | 19:16 |
| not-a-cat | c0vert: just name the command :) | 19:16 |
| usser | austin_, you're using gnome right? | 19:16 |
| austin_ | usser: no, kde | 19:16 |
| yowshi | eseven73: ah i was thinking of installing and trying out the new kde today | 19:16 |
| c0vert | not-a-cat, i was asking if you knew the model name of your wifi card | 19:16 |
| not-a-cat | c0vert: iwconfig? | 19:16 |
| usser | austin_, alt+f2 and type kwin --replace | 19:16 |
| Lasivian | ctral-alt-down is supposed to load cube, right? | 19:16 |
| not-a-cat | c0vert: no, not really, just bought the thing today | 19:16 |
| unop | ldlework, you should be prompted for the root password if you launched that item. | 19:16 |
| eseven73 | yowshi: the new kde is just fine, it's opensuse's KDE 4.2 Factory edition that is the prob | 19:17 |
| austin_ | usser: then what? | 19:17 |
| usser | austin_, also update your driver if u installed with ubuntu's restricted manager tool | 19:17 |
| eseven73 | i didnt wanna mention what os i was on ;) | 19:17 |
| austin_ | usser: how do i update that as well? | 19:17 |
| usser | austin_, nothing kwin --replace should disable compiz | 19:17 |
| ldlework | unop, nope and all the groups are inactive so I can't manipulate them (Intrepid) | 19:17 |
| austin_ | and oh ok | 19:17 |
| iaindalton | treeoon: it does for you, but as for me, I never had sound suddenly stop working in another OS. Either sound just worked, or you had to find drivers, but once it worked, it didn't quit. | 19:17 |
| Com3 | anyone? | 19:17 |
| unop | ldlework, i would do this, if that didn't work. gksu users-admin or gksu user-admin # can't remember which is the correct one | 19:17 |
| ldlework | thanks | 19:17 |
| danes | THANK YOU ALL GUYS TO KEEP UBUNTU UP AND RUNNING!!! :D | 19:18 |
| usser | austin_, but if you're on kde 4, it has its own effects, doesnt rely on compiz so you may need to turn it off as well, i dont remember where it is though, should be in system-settings appearance | 19:18 |
| Decepticon | how can i make this a alias, so i can refer back to it, in .bashrc .. the single quotes are messing up echo, and i cannot directly place it as a alias because $a or whatever takes on program names for some reason | 19:18 |
| not-a-cat | c0vert: I do know it's Intel, but I'm unsure of the exact version | 19:18 |

| felixsulla | Does anyone know where to get the Ubuntu 8.10 .vdi for Virtualbox? | 19:18 |
| c0vert | not-a-cat, ok one sec | 19:18 |
| zonyl | iaindalton: It was a lot more stable in Hardy. Ibex audio was the first time I have had real odd audio problems with Linux once driver was installed | 19:18 |
| unop | Decepticon, use a function instead. function eat_some_mem() { perl -e '...' ; } | 19:18 |
| usser | austin_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI scroll down to install from ati(latest version of drivers) | 19:19 |
| usser | austin_, they really fixed a lot of stuff in their latest release | 19:19 |
| === MTecknology is now known as mteck-mobile | ||
| Decepticon | unop how so? | 19:19 |
| c0vert | not-a-cat, open up a terminal and type the command 'lspci' and look for the make there.. | 19:19 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| ldlework | unop, interestingly the groups are still inactive so I cannot manipulate them | 19:19 |
| * iaindalton waits patiently for 9.04 | 19:19 | |
| Decepticon | unop this is talkinga bout .bashrc still? | 19:19 |
| unop | Decepticon, right. just that you use a function instead of an alias to the same effect | 19:20 |
| usser | austin_, in the instructions just change the name of the driver to whatever's current, they used 8.443.1-1 as an example | 19:20 |
| === mteck-mobile is now known as MTecknology | ||
| yowshi | eseven73: grrr i cant seem to install kde on my system some dependencies cant be met :( | 19:20 |
| c0vert | not-a-cat, you're looking for WLAN | 19:20 |
| unop | ldlework, hmm, that's odd. not sure then ... as i don't use gnome | 19:20 |
| geirha | Decepticon: it's possible to use an alias, but you'll need to escape special characters, so the function approach is easier | 19:20 |
| Decepticon | geirha i see | 19:20 |
| austin_ | usser: i do not have a 9xxx card though | 19:20 |
| ehird | How can I use a wireless apple keyboard? I tried using a guide but it used `hidd`, which I don't have. | 19:21 |

| * Lasivian would like to figure out why cube isn;t working but she doesn't know enough :P | 19:21 | |
| Decepticon | unop thanks for that idea | 19:21 |
| usser | austin_, what card do you have? | 19:21 |
| unop | Decepticon, np | 19:21 |
| Decepticon | its working | 19:21 |
| TriBeCa99 | hi guys, I'm having trouble setting up samba. I'm try to get it so I can mount shares as drives from windows, but it's tellin me bad login/password. | 19:21 |
| usser | austin_, ati site lets you pick appropriate driver for your card | 19:21 |
| TriBeCa99 | on 8.10 | 19:21 |
| iaindalton | ehird: install it | 19:21 |
| not-a-cat | c0vert: I have found the button/indicator for wireless, but it's not lit.. :( | 19:21 |
| c0vert | not-a-cat, ok | 19:22 |
| LinkinX64 | TriBeCa99, did u do smbpasswd -u user? | 19:22 |
| ehird | iaindalton: and which package would this be? | 19:22 |
| TriBeCa99 | LinkinX64: no, will do one sec | 19:22 |
| LinkinX64 | TriBeCa99, u need it | 19:22 |
| iaindalton | ehird, if you try to run a program you don't have but a repository provides, bash will tell you the name of the package | 19:22 |
| rapha | Hi! | 19:22 |
| iaindalton | so type `hidd' in a terminal | 19:22 |
| ehird | iaindalton: I did that and it does not tell me. I know this... | 19:23 |
| ehird | I think it's from an older version of a package. | 19:23 |
| austin_ | usser: they don't have a driver for my card though | 19:23 |
| burkmat | !hi | rapha | 19:23 |

| usser | austin_, whats the card? | 19:23 |
| iaindalton | ehird: what do you get when you type hidd? | 19:23 |
| ehird | bash: hidd: command not found | 19:23 |
| austin_ | usser:4850 i beleave | 19:23 |
| c0vert | not-a-cat, are you using ubuntu 8.10? | 19:24 |
| not-a-cat | c0vert: yes, fresh install | 19:24 |
| usser | austin_, can you paste the results of lspci | grep VGA | 19:24 |
| iaindalton | hmm, maybe your bash is set up differently. mine reports bluez-compat as having it | 19:24 |
| felixsulla | Is 8.04 or 8.10 better to ruN? | 19:24 |
| ehird | hmm ok | 19:24 |
| c0vert | not-a-cat, the wifi switch on the laptop, is switched on right? lol | 19:24 |
| rapha | felixsulla: depends on what to run it for? | 19:24 |
| * ehird installs bluez-compat | 19:24 | |
| felixsulla | A virtual box with the most up to date features. Trying to learn Linux | 19:25 |
| TriBeCa99 | LinkinX64: it gives me 'could not connect to machine 127.0.0.1 failed to change password blah blah" | 19:25 |
| not-a-cat | c0vert: hehe..that's a tricky one | 19:25 |
| LinkinX64 | TriBeCa99, weird....http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 | 19:25 |
| usser | austin_, its probably radeon 4800 hd series | 19:25 |
| rapha | felixsulla: in that case, definitely 8.10, as it has much more up-to-date features than 8.04 obviously. | 19:25 |
| c0vert | not-a-cat, apparently that card is supposed to work out of the box so the switch might be off.. | 19:25 |
| LinkinX64 | TriBeCa99, i asume u installed samba | 19:25 |
| austin_ | usser: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV770 [Radeon HD 4850] | 19:25 |

| MTecknology | I have this little bluetooth usb dongle that I have no idea how to use. bluetooth-browse isn't seeing it either. It shows up under lsusb as Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) | 19:26 |
| not-a-cat | c0vert: I'll try again and report | 19:26 |
| usser | austin_, yea its this one ati radeon hd4800 series | 19:26 |
| rapha | felixsulla: Once you've become comfortable with it, you may also want to try out the Alpha 4 release of 9.04. | 19:26 |
| rapha | Anyone, what's the difference between "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96)", "173" and "177"? How do I know which one to use? | 19:26 |
| arooni | looking for a stopwatch program for ubuntu ibex... both karm and stopwatch packages dont seem to load. | 19:26 |
| austin_ | usser: i just isntalled w.e the restriced drivers gave me | 19:26 |
| usser | rapha, i think they are for compatibility 96 is for quadro 173 is for some older cards like geforce mx200/400 etc and 173 is the for everything else,recent cards like 8000 series 9000 | 19:27 |
| austin_ | usser: how do i chck which one i have installed | 19:27 |
| usser | austin_, which one what? | 19:27 |
| usser | austin_, which version of the driver? | 19:28 |
| felixsulla | 8.10 comes with Firefox 3 by default, right? | 19:28 |
| rapha | usser: So with a GeForce 6600 LE I'd use version 177? | 19:28 |
| fearful | felixsulla, correct | 19:28 |
| rapha | felixsulla: yes | 19:28 |
| usser | rapha, yea | 19:28 |
| rapha | Okay, thanks usser! | 19:28 |
| Lasivian | does anyone know the key combo to show the cube in that compiz plugin? | 19:28 |
| austin_ | usser: yes | 19:28 |
| Lasivian | ctrl-alt-down isn;t doing anything | 19:28 |
| fearful | Lasivian, make sure the plugin is enabled and check inside the preferences | 19:28 |
| rapha | felixsulla: if you're interested in OpenOffice.org 3.0 though, you'll have install that yourself as 8.10 comes with OOo 2.something | 19:29 |
| Lasivian | fearful: it is enabled, desktops is set to 4/1/1 | 19:29 |
| iaindalton | Lasivian: doesn't compiz stupidly use mod4 instead of ctl-alt? | 19:29 |
| felixsulla | Is OO 3 in synpatic? | 19:29 |
| fearful | Lasivian, then I don't know I don't use desktop cube | 19:29 |
| Lasivian | iaindalton: sorry, I don;t know what mod4 is | 19:29 |
| felixsulla | I have been messing around with 7.10, but I think I need to go to 8.10 | 19:29 |
| rapha | felixsulla: If you add an extra repository, yes. | 19:29 |
| magnetron | Lasivian→ what key combo is listed in your Compiz settings? | 19:29 |
| usser | austin_, hm im not sure, try modinfo fglrx | 19:29 |
| iaindalton | If you have a windows keyboard, it's the windows key. On a mac, I dunno. | 19:29 |
| felixsulla | rapha, ok stupid question, what does add a repository mean? | 19:30 |
| Lasivian | ctrl-alt-down to open the cube just "space" to rotate | 19:30 |
| Lasivian | which makes NO sense | 19:30 |
| felixsulla | I've been a windows user too long ;( | 19:30 |
| bertolo | me too | 19:30 |
| usser | austin_, there should be ati utility that lists various info, or glxinfo should provide some info | 19:30 |
| hmw | is there a composing program in the style of an "old school" tracker? (like on the amiga or FT2) | 19:30 |
| bertolo | how can i configure my nvidia settings ? | 19:30 |
| magnetron | felixsulla→ ubuntu software consists of packages, stored online on servers known as "repositories" | 19:30 |
| fearful | felixsulla, this might be of help http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml | 19:31 |
| bertolo | my nvidia settings are mad!!! HELP | 19:31 |
| rapha | felixsulla: It means, open Synaptic, click "Settings" in the menu, then "Package Sources" (or so, I'm not running an English Ubuntu) and add a repo there | 19:31 |
| iaindalton | felixsulla: when you type something like apt-get install firefox, apt-get searches through the repositories it knows of for a package named firefox, and if it finds it, it dls and installs it | 19:31 |
| tensei | how do I view a shared folder on an ubuntu desktop from another ubuntu computer? | 19:31 |
| felixsulla | And Synpatic is basically just the GUI version of apt-get command line right? | 19:31 |
| arooni | looking for a stopwatch program for ubuntu ibex... both karm and stopwatch packages dont seem to load. dieas? | 19:31 |
| rapha | felixsulla: the repository you'll want to add under Third-Party is http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu | 19:31 |
| iaindalton | pretty much | 19:32 |
| unop | felixsulla, synaptic and apt-get are both frontends to APT itself | 19:32 |
| zleap | it cna do other stuff, so you can search for packages, which is like apt-cache search <package> | 19:32 |
| zleap | can | 19:32 |
| rapha | Sorry felixsulla, "http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main" is the full line | 19:32 |

| ldlework | OH CRAP, I did usermod -G and added myself to some groups but it removed me from all the standard groups and now I can't sudo or su, help!!!! | 19:32 |
| fearful | rapha, felixsulla, I'm pretty sure you need a key to install it out of that repository the link I provided shows you to install the key too | 19:32 |
| unop | ldlework, you'll need too boot into the recovery mode and put yourself back in the right groups | 19:33 |
| iaindalton | felixsulla: although if you like the command line, aptitude is better than apt-get. if it has to install some packages only because the one you wanted to install depends on them, it will remember that and if you ever uninstall the package, it will uninstall the dependencies too. apt-get and synaptic don't AFAIK | 19:33 |
| ldlework | omg.. unop do you know the list of groups? | 19:33 |
| Vorodie | hi | 19:33 |
| rapha | fearful: felixsulla: That's right. It would work without the key, but you'd get a warning. | 19:33 |

| felixsulla | iaindalton: Do you use aptitude the same way? IE "aptitude get <whatever>" | 19:33 |
| iaindalton | usser: how's that work? | 19:34 |
| rapha | felixsulla: not get; install. But basically, yes. | 19:34 |
| ldlework | Can anyone tell me the groups that their main user has by default please?! | 19:34 |
| unop | ldlework, actually .. here you go http://ccollins.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/restore-default-ubuntu-groups/ | 19:34 |

| ldlework | omg thanks | 19:34 |

| iaindalton | Myrtti: I can see the characters and it's not russian. It's just all the vowels with all the different accents | 19:51 |

| _niko | hmv: Thanks, Lot more there then I imagained xD will get on to it now | 20:10 |
| magnetron | IOS|warlock→ but then you weren't running a web server, and sharing ownership between the www-data and the ftpuser accounts either | 20:10 |
| marctw | i have ubuntu already installed on a partition but i have no cd rom anymore and i wanna put xubuntu or kubuntu | 20:10 |
| jeff-01 | whats ccsm ? | 20:10 |
| Scunizi_ | toader: you want to eliminate the gui? or just open a terminal? or get into a terminal? | 20:10 |
| bertolo | can i update my ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 using a 8.10 cd ? | 20:10 |
| slipstenen | linoge: yeah, go for the clone instead. | 20:10 |
| jeff-01 | Ok thanks a lot ... !! | 20:10 |
| dr_Willis | toader, i dont think theres an easy way to do it. theres too many sercvices needed - you could manually stoip the services you dont want running perhaps | 20:10 |
| IOS|warlock | magnetron: yes I was running a web serverr, but not sharing ownerships between ftpuser and www-data | 20:10 |
| toader | Scunizi_: no gui, no any service | 20:10 |
| marat | Hi all! where I could find Feisty 7.04 repos? It seems that all of them are gone | 20:10 |
| marctw | my ubuntu is running slow and i hear that kubuntu and xubuntu is much faster | 20:10 |
| slipstenen | unop: ty, learned something new today as well | 20:10 |
| toader | dr_Willis: could u tell me how to | 20:11 |
| thiebaude1 | bertolo: no, not to keep the programs you already have on 8.04 | 20:11 |
| dr_Willis | toader, xdm/kdm/gdm will stop the GUI. but theres a lot of services that are needed for normal operatuion - You could try the 'single user mode' i guess. | 20:11 |
| marat | marctw: kubuntu isn't. | 20:11 |
| fearful | marctw, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop, this will give you the choice to login using KDE or xfce then go pure on whichever you you prefer | 20:11 |
| dr_Willis | toader, sudo service WHATEVER stop | 20:11 |
| unop | slipstenen, yea, your way would invoke apt-get for each package too .. and that might not solve all dependencies | 20:11 |
| thiebaude1 | bertolo: you can do update manager -s | 20:11 |
| magnetron | IOS|warlock→ but that's exactly you were asking about. instead, i recommend using SSH-server, it's much easier to do that using SSH/SFTP | 20:11 |

| IOS|warlock | magnetron: I want to run this setup, I didn't ask for your opinion about my setup | 20:11 |
| toader | dr_Willis: how to start to single user mode? | 20:11 |
| dr_Willis | toader, append 'single' to the end of the grub boot line, or try the rescue/recovery mode optuion. its about the same thing | 20:12 |
| magnetron | IOS|warlock→ i already told you what to do | 20:12 |
| IOS|warlock | Yes, and I asked you if you knew the command for it | 20:12 |
| marctw | fearful: i tried that but all it changed was my login screen and it still booted the gnome splash screen | 20:12 |
| numpszi | Hello! If i make a release of a program, is it a good idea to put all of the binaries into a tar.gz file and publish it on the internet? | 20:12 |
| bertolo | thiebaude1: i have no internet | 20:13 |
| thiebaude1 | oh, ok | 20:13 |
| fearful | marctw, you have to change the session, in the loging screen click the sessions and it will give you the choice on xfce or kde whichever you installed | 20:13 |

| marctw | i dont know why my ubuntu runs bad my vista flys compared to ubuntu what would cause this? | 20:14 |
| slipstenen | numpszi: I guess it is better to do a repository if you want to distribute compiled files. archive would be ok for source though. | 20:14 |

| marctw | no i have a ati radeon x200m, this is my laptop | 20:16 |
| magnetron | Pupeno→ what kind of CPU do you have? | 20:16 |
| dr_Willis | x200m here - used the fglrx drivers. it wasent a fast laptop i had.. but it worked. :) | 20:16 |
| Pupeno | magnetron: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz. | 20:17 |
| marctw | dr_Willis: isnt that the driver it uses by default? | 20:17 |
| dr_Willis | marctw, No.. 'ati' driver is the OSS default driver.. fglrx = one from ati you install | 20:17 |
| Tecna | Does anyone know how to change the default read/write permissions on a usb drive that automatically mounts? | 20:17 |
| yowshi | ok this is wierd. lsusb lists the mouse as a logitech scrollmouse but lomoco sees it as an unsupported logitech device. can someone please help me with this | 20:18 |
| fearful | Tecna, sudo chmod 755 /media/<Name> | 20:18 |
| hmw | marctw - 1) you might need different drivers for your graphics adapter 2) you might have to less RAM (1.2GB minimum for acceptable performance) 3) you might not yet have discovered, in which way ubuntu is different in being slow compared to windows - each of them can be slow, but in different situations - use ubuntu for at least 10 days and you will discover the pattern, i mean. | 20:18 |
| numpszi | ok, thanks | 20:18 |
| magnetron | Pupeno→ i'm surprised to hear that such a CPU would overheat. i suggest fixing your hardware problem, by installing proper cooling. you *can* slow software down with the nice/renice commands, but no software will overheat a proper cooled hardware. | 20:19 |
| Tecna | hmw: I don't completely understand what to do with that command. | 20:19 |
| JPSman | how do I edit my grub from a LiveCD session? | 20:19 |
| marctw | im just tired of waiting 20 seconds for my file manager to open when vista opens explorer in about 2 sec | 20:19 |
| Pupeno | magnetron: it's a laptop. | 20:19 |
| eper3z | OK DUDES, so im using fglrx as my graphics card driver and i got dual view/screen running from the ati catalyst control center and everything works fine except upon restart the computer goes back to TWINVIEW and i have to manually switch to dualview every LOGON!? help! thanks in advance | 20:20 |
| hmw | Tecna - huh? what command? (sorry i am somewhat distracted, maybe i forgot, that i talked to you) | 20:20 |
| fearful | Tecna, do you know where your USB is mounted at? | 20:20 |
| magnetron | Pupeno→ make sure that cpu frequency scaling is enabled. | 20:20 |
| Pupeno | magnetron: I don't mean nice/renice, shouldn't Ubuntu lower the CPU freq when it's running too hot? | 20:20 |
| Tecna | fearful: yes | 20:20 |
| MoTec | marctw: are you running from the live cd or did you do an install? | 20:20 |
| fearful | Tecna, ok so in the terminal type sudo chmod 755 /<where your USB is mounted> | 20:20 |
| burkmat | JPSman, You mean edit your menu.lst file? | 20:21 |
| Tecna | but what exactly does that do? | 20:21 |
| usser | Pupeno, it should if cpu supports it | 20:21 |
| fearful | Tecna, it changes the permissions so you can read/write | 20:21 |
| usser | Pupeno, i know my celeron doesnt have cpu scaling | 20:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JPSman we need more info, how did you lose grub? Reinstalling windows | 20:21 |
| hmw | marctw - disabling some unneeded services might help a little, too. | 20:21 |
| dr_Willis | fearful, if its a ntfs or vfat usb drive.. that wont work... he may wan tto run the ntfs-config command and check the 'allow users' features | 20:21 |
| JPSman | I reinstalled windows and it removed grub from starting at the begining | 20:22 |
| Tecna | fearful: will that be preserved for future mounts, or will I have to do that again? | 20:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JPSman no prob.. | 20:22 |
| burkmat | !grub | JPSman | 20:22 |
| ubottu | JPSman: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 20:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JPSman single or dual hard drives | 20:22 |
| JPSman | thank you thank you | 20:22 |
| fearful | Tecna, yea I think dr_Willis is right first check what type of file system it is. | 20:22 |
| Pupeno | usser: well, cat /proc/cpu is showing cpu MHz : 1000, so it's not even running at full throtle now. | 20:22 |
| usser | Pupeno, then scaling works, the problem is with cooling | 20:23 |
| dr_Willis | ext2/3/linux filesystems - that may work.. vfat/ntfs filesystems the permissions MUST be set by how they are mounted | 20:23 |
| Tecna | it's vfat iirc | 20:23 |
| dr_Willis | Tecna, install./run the ntfs-config tool and it has some check box options that may get it gouing right | 20:24 |
| Huufarted | Pupeno: I had this problem once. Come to find out, the heatsink on the CPU was crap and the blades were so close together, it was acting as a FILTER and was collecting any dust going through the fans | 20:25 |
| Tecna | dr_Willis: I don't know how to do that. *pictures you facepalming* | 20:25 |
| Pupeno | Huufarted: in a laptop? | 20:25 |

| Moreno | so I removed network manager and ran "sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces" and added "auto eth0" and still no network on eth0 | 21:11 |
| bruenig | redvamp128: why would he need to reinstall wine if he removed ~/.wine? | 21:11 |
| samrocksc | BCM43, hands down the worst thing a human being can end up on his laptop | 21:11 |
| unop | MaT-dg, that's the problem .. pam (at this time) requires you to manually type a password out for the keyring to be unlocked | 21:11 |
| === Nytrix_ is now known as Nytrix | ||
| samrocksc | I tried for 2 years trying to get a laptops internal wireless card working the Airforce one it used the BCM43xx drivers | 21:11 |
| redvamp128 | bruenig: though by just doing that method-- if he did reinstall would actually create more issues. | 21:11 |
| Moreno | I also added "face eth0 inet dhcp" | 21:11 |
| BCM43 | samrocksc: the reason it is my username is so that it alerts me when someone is talking about it, having walked many people thought it and gotten it working myself. | 21:12 |
| Moreno | thats "iface eth0 inet dhcp" | 21:12 |
| McShane | Moreno, when invoking the super user with a graphical application (gedit), you'll want to use gksudo instead of sudo | 21:12 |
| bruenig | redvamp128: I can't understand what you are saying | 21:12 |
| samrocksc | BCM43, lol | 21:12 |
| Plugh | Scunizi_: I'm in the middle of getting Ubuntu up and running properly on my new computer. I have gotten it to boot. The screen resolution is waaaay too low. My distro is currently too old (mostly likely) to support nvidia so I'm trying to use just vga for now. | 21:12 |
| MaT-dg | unop: ok thx, but do u know why this doesn't happen with wicd instead of the default networkmanager? | 21:12 |
| BCM43 | Plugh: why not install a different disrtro? | 21:12 |
| samrocksc | I'm trying to figure out medibuntu right now and get google earth hah | 21:12 |
| redvamp128 | bruenig: THe way to get a fresh start would be remove from synaptic- then make sure the folder is gone the /.wine .. then reinstall so it would re-establish the correct files and permissions. | 21:12 |
| wolter | how do i regulate the size of the "$ zenity --file-selection" dialog ? | 21:12 |
| Scunizi_ | redvamp128: what your're saying to bruenig sounds more like what would happen on windows. ~/.wine is THE configuration file for wine.. reinstalling would make any difference. | 21:13 |
| bruenig | redvamp128: there is no reason to delete the binary files from the filesystem and then replace them with the exact same binary files | 21:13 |
| redvamp128 | bruenig: your method would actually create more problems than fix the issue. | 21:13 |
| unop | MaT-dg, i guess wicd uses a different method of storing credentials not like nm which uses the keyring | 21:13 |
| Scunizi_ | Plugh: what distro version | 21:13 |
| Plugh | BCM43: Ubuntu install disks don't seem to support machines with drives configured in RAID1. At least, not out of the box. | 21:13 |
| diskin | Is there a way to see list of hardware items which are not working due to driver absence? | 21:13 |
| BCM43 | Plugh: how about debian? | 21:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BCM43 I think you need the alt install for that | 21:14 |
| constantine | better link: http://gpass1.com/gpass/ Anything like this for ubuntu? | 21:14 |
| Plugh | Scunizi_: Its old. Currently 6.06 (and I am working to get to where I will be updating it). | 21:14 |
| bruenig | redvamp128: if you delete the ~/.wine directory, next time you run wine, it recreates it with defaults. The wine binaries in /usr don't matter | 21:14 |
| bruenig | they don't ever change | 21:14 |
| BCM43 | Jack_Sparrow: for what? A different distro? Of course. | 21:14 |
| Plugh | BCM43: yeah, I've been thinking about that as an alternative. | 21:14 |
| === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys | ||
| MaT-dg | unop: ok I understand thx :) | 21:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BCM43 no just the alternate installer for ubuntu | 21:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BCM43 If you want to use ubuntu with existing FAKE-RAID1 Array, Boot livecd first you have to add the universy repo, then you cann get dmraid with apt-get install and run dmraind -ay , then you will see the RAID-Array and not sda and sdb | 21:15 |

| === Nytrix is now known as Nytrix_ | ||
| cyzie | why is archive.ubuntu.com is so slow when coem to downloading package or updating ?! | 21:15 |
| Scunizi_ | Plugh: I used 6.06 for quite a while.. xrandr has nothing to do with that version.. you have to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to get the resolution that you want.. not sure why you're installing that only to upgrade when you could go right to 8.04 which is the next LTS release ofter 6.06 | 21:15 |
| BCM43 | Jack_Sparrow: ok, I see what you mean. I thought you meant to install a different distro you needed the alt cd. | 21:15 |
| Plugh | I need to make a bootable CD-ROM as a demo for a program. I have done that in the past using Morphix. However, the tools expect a Debian like system. My normal default system is Fedora which is RPM based. | 21:15 |
| Moreno | The post also suggested that I edit /etc/resolv.conf file and add nameserver 192.168.1.1 which on my install resolv.conf did not exist so I created it. Rebooted and still no network on eth0 | 21:15 |
| bruenig | cyzie: use a mirror closer to you | 21:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BCM43 Cute.. but no.. | 21:15 |
| samrocksc | I must be retarded but I can't get the google earth package to install....i know i'm not in root but it should work | 21:16 |
| diskin | Is there a way to see list of hardware items which are not working due to driver absence? Similar to windows "device manager" with yellow question marks. | 21:16 |
| cyzie | bruenig, hwo to switch mirror in command line? | 21:16 |
| samrocksc | just doing a ./googleearth | 21:16 |
| === Nytrix_ is now known as Nytrix | ||
| BCM43 | samrocksc: what errors are you getting? | 21:16 |
| bruenig | cyzie: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change the country code in front of the urls, so archive.ubuntu.com is us.archive.ubuntu.com | 21:17 |
| bruenig | I think | 21:17 |
| bruenig | I don't remember if that is what the mirrors look like | 21:17 |
| Moreno | McShane, can we go private so I can better see your responces? | 21:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Plugh Sorry, how is that related to Ubuntu support.. Because we also are Debian based? | 21:17 |
| Scunizi_ | Plugh: If you're staying with 6.06 then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to your liking.. if you have an nvidia card installed then use the nv driver.. vesa is another generic that may work. | 21:17 |
| Plugh | Scunizi_: I have an 8.04 disk. If I can update my 6.06 from the CD, I will do it. When trying to install from the 8.10 CD I run in to problems related to lack of RAID support | 21:17 |
| erUSUL | bruenig: cyzie much easier to use System<Admin>Softeare Sources | 21:17 |

| === Nytrix_ is now known as Nytrix | ||
| samrocksc | hmmm i haven't used chmod in a while i gave it 777 | 21:19 |
| bruenig | 777 should work | 21:20 |
| BCM43 | samrocksc: chmod 755 <googleearth>.bin | 21:20 |
| samrocksc | yeah 777 always works heh | 21:20 |
| Plugh | Jack_Sparrow: I'm not sure whose notes I used the info I found on a web page involving use of chroot to install dmraid. That has made Ubuntu happy about my hard drive configuration | 21:20 |
| MaT-dg | how do I get 2 network interfaces working at the same time in networkmanager? (was a new feature in 8.10) | 21:20 |

| bruenig | 755 and 777 should work identically in this case | 21:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Plugh good to know.. 64 bit? | 21:21 |
| samrocksc | hehe 755 worked out for some reason :/ | 21:21 |
| samrocksc | weird | 21:21 |
| Plugh | Jack_Sparrow: Not currently. Sticking with 32 bit for now. | 21:21 |
| bruenig | you must not have had 777 | 21:21 |
| Scunizi_ | benjamin_1: delete the partitions for ubuntu and use your windows install cd to restore your windows version master boot record.. how to do that you should ask on ##windows | 21:21 |
| samrocksc | Thats what I think | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | benjamin_1: just reformat the ubuntu partition. later reinstall the vista bootloader with the vista installation cd | 21:21 |
| samrocksc | I'll be honest linux has gotten so fire and forget I haven't used Chmod in a year ........ | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | benjamin_1: for details on the later ask in ##windows | 21:21 |

| benjamin_1 | hmw:<contrawars> if you boot to a windows vista install disk, select 'repair your computer' before installing, and open a command prompt, in the prompt type 'bootrec.exe /fixmbr' this will blow away grub and leave windows by itself, further than that you can open the Disk management software within windows, to delete the partition Ubuntu is on | 21:29 |

| gardar | hmw, <gardar> I just resized some ext3 partitions, and now a bunch of my directories appear as empty | 21:46 |
| gardar | <gardar> but the space seems to be in use | 21:46 |
| gardar | <gardar> any ideas guys? | 21:46 |
| BULLE | corrupt filesystem + | 21:47 |
| cyzie | why is ubuntu apt-get update took forever?! debian apt-get update is efficiently fast | 21:47 |
| Nytrix | reinstall everything | 21:47 |
| dayo2 | paragonc: uname -a | 21:47 |
| BULLE | gardar: just let fsck do its job, and see what it says | 21:47 |
| hmw | gardar - did you use du or du -h to see, if the space is still used? | 21:48 |
| joe-mac | and if it finds a lot of errors be prepared for a case of carpal tunnel from rapidly slamming the 'y' key | 21:48 |
| paragonc | dayo2: 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux | 21:48 |
| Jampiter | How do I reset my IP in Ubuntu? | 21:48 |
| gardar | hmw, it's mounted and nautilius shows a bunch of space being used | 21:48 |
| dayo2 | paragonc: looks like 32bit to me | 21:48 |
| Peddy | I'm not getting any sound with my new motherboard's onboard sound, aplay -l returns 'no soundcards found...". Can someone please help me get sound to work? | 21:48 |
| n8tuserf | Jampiter -> what do you meant by reset? getting a new one? | 21:48 |
| McShane | paragonc: i686 = 32-bit. "86_64" is the 64-bit designation | 21:48 |
| hmw | gardar - pls double check with du -h | 21:48 |
| gardar | BULLE, how should I run fsck? | 21:48 |
| paragonc | lame... im on an AMD 64 | 21:49 |
| Jampiter | n8tuserf: Yes | 21:49 |
| n8tuserf | Jampiter -> dhcp or static ? | 21:49 |
| dayo2 | paragonc: did u install 64bit ubuntu? | 21:49 |
| Jampiter | n8tuserf: | 21:49 |
| paragonc | can i update to the 64bit kernel - or do i have to reinstall | 21:49 |
| Jampiter | n8tuserf: I have no idea | 21:49 |
| n8tuserf | Jampiter -> then why do you even care getting it reset if you have not idea? | 21:49 |
| BULLE | gardar: is this your root filesystem ? | 21:49 |
| Jampiter | n8tuserf: I would think static | 21:49 |
| McShane | paragonc: do you need 64-bit for particular tasks? | 21:49 |
| Jampiter | n8tuserf: I have reasons | 21:50 |
| gardar | BULLE, nope, an external hdd | 21:50 |
| hmw | n8tuserf paragonc - "reset" sounds like dhcp - re-request IP via DHCP: sudo dhclient eth0 -1 (if eth0 is the device you want to reset) | 21:50 |
| paragonc | McSahne - i'm trying to run a media center | 21:50 |
| dayo2 | paragonc: u can update, but u'll also need to update all your packages. personally, i would reinstall clean | 21:50 |
| BULLE | gardar: okies, no worries then, just unmount it, and then run fsck.ext3 on it | 21:50 |
| paragonc | hrmmm | 21:50 |
| paragonc | k | 21:50 |
| BULLE | gardar: the manpage tells you how to do it | 21:50 |
| gardar | okok | 21:50 |
| BULLE | gardar: the big important thing is to NOT have the filesystem mounted | 21:50 |
| cyzie | any way to make apt-get update work FAST ? | 21:50 |
| BULLE | cyzie: buy faster cpu + | 21:50 |
| McShane | paragonc: in that case, 64-bit can help with video conversion, but it's not going to make your computer "faster" | 21:50 |
| n8tuserf | Jampiter -> unless you explain, i may give you the wrong advice, so please explain for what usage this is for | 21:50 |
| dayo2 | cyzie: get a faster internet connection? | 21:51 |
| cyzie | BULLE, are you stupid? | 21:51 |
| Seveas | cyzie, faster network connection and faster disks. | 21:51 |
| BULLE | cyzie: no, are you ? | 21:51 |
| cyzie | dayo2, not an option now | 21:51 |
| BooBack | Can anybody help me use GParted please? | 21:51 |
| dayo2 | cyzie: then u'll have to be patient | 21:51 |

| Nytrix | Boo, ask away | 21:51 |
| hmw | n8tuserf - what? really?? i think it does?? let me check | 21:51 |
| cyzie | dayo2, wil you tolerate for apt-get update toook 2 hours++ ?! | 21:51 |
| dayo2 | !ask | Boo | 21:51 |
| ubottu | Boo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:51 |
| n8tuserf | hmw yes, typically it will attempt to reuse the old one, because its stored in an cache | 21:52 |
| dayo2 | cyzie: what kind of connection u got? when last did u update? | 21:52 |
| Nytrix | !ask | 21:52 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:52 |
| cyzie | slow connection | 21:52 |
| n8tuserf | hmw -> go look for leases and you will see | 21:52 |
| hmw | n8tuserf - aah. yes. in terms of "resetting" it could have helped. | 21:52 |

| dayo2 | Th0rz: how did u install in the first place? | 21:55 |

| Nytrix | hehe | 21:57 |
| dayo2 | Th0rz: then just purge it: sudo aptitude purge <packagename> | 21:57 |
| Seveas | Nytrix, that would be sudo kill -9 -1 (Warning: that'll bring your system to a grinding halt. Don't run if you value your data :)) | 21:58 |

| Kultom | U-b-u-n-t-u, and if you cant get a hold of the panel, just alt click the app and drag it down until you see the panel bar | 22:16 |
| yowshi | Kultom: ubuntu seems to do so automatically thne after a bit it stops and the mouse doesn do anything | 22:16 |
| fearful | simonlimon, can't aMSN do that, seperately tho | 22:16 |

| rtypo | :D so, not exactly 2.0-0 | 22:27 |
| ethana2 | imachine: how do I use samba? | 22:27 |

| imachine | but I was able to use the shares from my other ubuntu laptop, and I think windows laptops can also gain access to my share. | 22:28 |
| ethana2 | What workgroup or domain does ubuntu share with? | 22:28 |
| imachine | dunno, but I browsed windows shares, so I figured it works both ways. | 22:28 |
| imachine | ethana2, by default, WORKGROUP | 22:29 |

| Mikaze | Hello. Can anyone recommend a really, really good flatbed scanner? I'm blind and need to do OCR with it. The scanner the govt loaned me doesn't connect to the puter, except thru a password protected pin-drive port.. | 22:38 |
| imachine | constantine, gnome's a bit limited I guess... you'd have to ask the gnome people best. | 22:38 |
| constantine | ok thanks | 22:38 |

| hmw | toader_ 2 TiB | 22:39 |
| imachine | tzenrick, 9.04 + google. | 22:39 |
| bruenig | tzenrick: gmail is beta | 22:39 |
| imachine | toader_, I've already told you, stop asking. | 22:39 |
| tzenrick | imachine: Google...... duh.... | 22:39 |
| imachine | tzenrick, good luck ;] | 22:39 |
| qcjn | hi, can i only check my partition with an app like gparted | 22:40 |
| erichofmann | hey gang, newbie here... | 22:40 |
| imachine | tzenrick, you can use yahoo too if you like ;) | 22:40 |
| dayo2 | tzenrick: beta of what? | 22:40 |
| tzenrick | dayo2: ubuntu | 22:40 |
| erichofmann | I was downloading some updates when the power went out. | 22:40 |
| DaveIngram | what is the linux equivalent of windoze ipconfig? | 22:40 |
| dayo2 | tzenrick: ubuntu.com | 22:40 |
| imachine | Mikaze, I hear good things about Plustek... | 22:40 |
| qcjn | i d like to know in what format is one of my partition | 22:40 |
| erichofmann | now I can't update anything. | 22:40 |
| imachine | Mikaze, but I don't know. I never used a scanner professionally. | 22:40 |
| mikewu | DaveIngram: ifconfig | 22:40 |
| tzenrick | dayo2: I've been creeping around there. Is it buried? | 22:40 |
| erichofmann | keep getting an error | 22:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | qcjn: what format?... you mean what file system? | 22:40 |
| jerknextdoor | tzenrick: why do you want a beta of ubuntu? | 22:41 |
| DaveIngram | mikewu: Thanks! | 22:41 |
| qcjn | IndyGunFreak: yes | 22:41 |
| imachine | DaveIngram, ipconfig is the equivalent of *NIX's ifconfig | 22:41 |
| dayo2 | tzenrick: hang on | 22:41 |
| jerknextdoor | erichofmann: what is the error? | 22:41 |
| DaveIngram | imachine: yeah.. I figured that question was backwards.. just didn't know how to phrase it better | 22:41 |
| WilliamWade | Can anyone help with my screen resolution problem? | 22:41 |
| DeannaT2 | DaveIngram, ifconfig | 22:41 |
| danbas | is a blu ray iso of the entire jaunty repo planned (for AMD64)? | 22:41 |
| tzenrick | jerknextdoor: I'm just gonna start with ext4 native partitions. | 22:41 |
| erichofmann | dpk was interruped, you must manually run dpkg --confure -a | 22:41 |
| imachine | DaveIngram, ;) | 22:41 |
| tzenrick | jerknextdoor: instead of migrating. | 22:42 |
| Mikaze | Plustech. Thanks. Will look them over. Wish SANE did recommendations. | 22:42 |
| erichofmann | E:_cache->open()failed, please report | 22:42 |
| imachine | Mikaze, with a K at the end. | 22:42 |
| dayo2 | tzenrick: get Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 22:42 |
| DaveIngram | imachine: I'm trying hard to get my brain all switched over to Linux.. but it's tough when you've been on that other thing your whole life | 22:42 |
| yowshi | anyone have any ideas for getting ubuntu to use a logitech usb mouse? | 22:42 |
| eseven73 | danbas: ask that in #Ubuntu+1 | 22:42 |
| McShane | erichofmann, sudo dpkg --configure -a | 22:42 |
| qcjn | IndyGunFreak: so would you know | 22:42 |
| Mikaze | K. Thank you. | 22:42 |
| jerknextdoor | tzenrick: as far as i know ext4 isn't currently supported therefore you'd have to get an Alpha of 9.04 or 9.10 and alphas are definitely not stable. | 22:42 |
| tzenrick | dayo2: I'm good, found it on distrowatch. | 22:42 |
| imachine | DaveIngram, don't worry, take your time. | 22:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | qcjn: i'm sure there's a terminal command for it, i just don't know it. | 22:42 |
| imachine | Mikaze, no problem. good luck. | 22:42 |
| Emu | OH hi. | 22:42 |
| danbas | eseven73: oh yeah, thanks! | 22:42 |
| Emu | I'm having more problems. | 22:42 |
| qcjn | IndyGunFreak: ok thanks | 22:43 |
| eseven73 | np | 22:43 |
| fearful | !hi | Emu | 22:43 |
| ubottu | Emu: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 22:43 |
| erichofmann | tried that mcShane | 22:43 |
| Emu | I can't watch Youtube videos D: | 22:43 |
| tzenrick | jerknextdoor: ars technica lied to me... :( | 22:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | qcjn: beyond that, you could install gparted (sudo apt-get install gparted), then system/admin/partition editor, it should tell you what filesystems they are | 22:43 |
| erichofmann | no luck | 22:43 |
| jerknextdoor | yowshi: google seems to have a lot of suggestions | 22:43 |
| fearful | Emu, do you have flash support enabled? | 22:43 |
| McShane | erichofmann: what errors did it give you? | 22:43 |
| imachine | mikewu, there is Mustek as well. again, with a k at the end. | 22:43 |
| Emu | fearful: I don't believe so. | 22:43 |
| imachine | oops. | 22:43 |
| imachine | ;] | 22:43 |
| qcjn | IndyGunFreak: yeah, i think thats what i ll do | 22:43 |
| jerknextdoor | tzenrick: i could be completely wrong. by all means double check it. | 22:43 |
| squirt33 | I need to change the color depth on my monitor to 16 bit temporarily (old, old, old computer game under wine). How can I do this? | 22:44 |
| tzenrick | jerknextdoor: nvm. 9.04 is definitely still alpha... Beta I'm OK with, but I have to be at least a little stable. | 22:44 |
| erichofmann | crap. thought I cut and pasted... | 22:44 |
| fearful | Emu, well theres the root of your problem sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree libflashsupport | 22:44 |
| erichofmann | brb | 22:44 |
| newt-home | jerknextdoor, if you google long enough you can find whatever answer you want to any question u ask | 22:44 |
| imachine | tzenrick, you can launch i in a vm | 22:44 |
| imachine | like, virtualbox. | 22:44 |
| crdlb | squirt33: put DefaultDepth 16 in Section "Screen" of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X | 22:44 |
| McShane | !paste | erichofmann | 22:45 |
| ubottu | erichofmann: 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) | 22:45 |
| imachine | it's available for ubuntu. | 22:45 |
| jerknextdoor | tzenrick: yeah. if it's just an experiement go for it. but it's not for your production machine. | 22:45 |
| erichofmann | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run dpk --configure -a to correct the problem. E:_cache-> open()failed, please report | 22:45 |
| jeff-01 | Hi | 22:45 |
| homercycles | I'm going to ditch openSUSE and install Ubuntu, but I'm not sure where I should go with the 32 or 64-bit version. What's the conventional wisdom? Especially if I want Opera with Adobe Flash 10? | 22:45 |
| imachine | like I said before, tzenrick, it is *pretty* stable. some gnome apps crash once in a while, but generally, it works. the fonts seem dodgy at times. I have compiz running no probs. | 22:45 |
| jeff-01 | Anyone knows a bar of icons automatically hiding very nice ? | 22:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | homercycles: 32bit is usually a bit easier to set up in my experience | 22:45 |
| tzenrick | jerknextdoor: Not an experiment. | 22:46 |
| jeff-01 | Style Avant Window Manager but much better ? | 22:46 |
| yowshi | jerknextdoor: yeah thats what i need to be told to buzz off and use google | 22:46 |
| imachine | tzenrick, then wait for the real final deal. | 22:46 |
| sixkiller | go with 64bit. | 22:46 |
| jerknextdoor | tzenrick: RC's will be out soon enough. | 22:46 |
| imachine | yowshi, pretty much :) | 22:46 |
| Emu | fearful: i get an error when doing that, i'll PM it to you since it's a bit big | 22:46 |
| squirt33 | crdlb: The last time I did that my compiz fusion install died on me. | 22:46 |
| jeff-01 | AVM is too slow. I saw something more interesting on a Fedora .... | 22:46 |
| raylu | homercycles: it doesn't matter. just get away from those rpms. but i agree, try 64-bit first | 22:46 |
| homercycles | IndyFunGeek: I have the 64-bit ver on another partition but didn't have a lot of luck gettin gFlash working, and I saw it was pulling in the 32-bit version, not the 64-bit version. | 22:46 |
| imachine | yowshi, unless you provide some debug info for us ;) | 22:46 |
| fearful | Emu, ok | 22:46 |
| tzenrick | imachine: I have to run a VM anyways... Unless Zune support has come along. | 22:46 |
| imachine | we're not mind readers. | 22:46 |
| erichofmann | all the package manager apps fail because of this. did I corrupt a bunch of files in /lib? | 22:46 |
| Lasivian | where can I find Gnomes icons? | 22:46 |
| homercycles | is it safe to have a 64-bit OS pulling down 32-bit libraries? | 22:46 |
| imachine | tzenrick, dunno about zune and dno't care about zune. | 22:46 |
| jeff-01 | thanks, going to have a llok | 22:47 |
| imachine | ;P | 22:47 |
| yowshi | imachine: no that isnt what i need. the google solutions all require editing xorg.conf and the LAST time i tried that i broke my frigging system. obviously i need more on hands guidance or help for this | 22:47 |
| crdlb | squirt33: if you're using nvidia, that'll break window decorations (and turn gnome-terminal white), but you can just temporarily switch to metacity, I guess | 22:47 |
| raylu | homercycles: yes | 22:47 |
| imachine | yowshi, you need to backup your xorg conf for starters :-) | 22:47 |
| tzenrick | imachine: I didn't care about zune either, until my wife said she mailed me one for my b-day. | 22:47 |
| homercycles | raylu: thanks. I might stick with 64, then (though I'm still downloading a 32-bit ISO, just in case) | 22:47 |
| imachine | yowshi, at least before you edited it. it's good practice ;) | 22:47 |
| imachine | tzenrick, tzk tzk. | 22:47 |
| yowshi | imachine: yea did that but using the ackup doesnt fix my problem. i tried that method twice. and twice i had to reload the backup | 22:47 |
| imachine | tzenrick, tough luck. | 22:47 |
| NimbleRabit | heeeeelp, I pressed windows key+r and now I'm stuck super zoomed in lol | 22:48 |
| homercycles | what about all the binary-only codecs and such like. Are there 64-bit versions of those for Ubuntu? | 22:48 |
| imachine | yowshi, dunno, what's wrong with that mouse anyway? I've asked you once already, didn't get a response... | 22:48 |
| HINDYhat | Hello, can someone help me with wireless configuration? | 22:48 |
| tzenrick | imachine: It's definitely the thought that counts though. | 22:48 |
| erichofmann | still with me McShane? | 22:48 |
| squirt33 | crdlb: I mean like no log in, no GUI. | 22:48 |
| imachine | tzenrick, right. reckon she'd appreciate the thought of selling it on ebay for an ipod? | 22:48 |
| yowshi | imachine: i thought i told everyone who asked. ok when i restart my system it works for a bit then suddenly stops working | 22:48 |
| imachine | :-) | 22:48 |
| HINDYhat | (yes, I've looked at the WifiDocs) | 22:48 |
| imachine | yowshi, what mouse model, what does dmesg say after it stops working? | 22:49 |
| tzenrick | imachine: Probably not :) | 22:49 |
| McShane | erichofmann, yeah, searching around Google | 22:49 |
| imachine | if it's usb, does replugging it make it work again? | 22:49 |
| imachine | yowshi, what version of ubuntu are you running? | 22:49 |
| Nytrix | MSG me if anyone wants WINDOWS software installed in UBUNTU. | 22:49 |
| chrismurf | How can you set a custom paper size in ubuntu? IE, not Letter,A4,A5, whatever. | 22:49 |
| yowshi | imachine: i have no idea what dmesg says because i have no idea how to read whats in the dmesg file. i know how to load it but not understand what it says. it's a standard basic 2 button scrollwheel logitech usb mouse | 22:49 |
| jeff-01 | Sorry, | 22:50 |
| Rauf | ahah | 22:50 |
| yowshi | imachine: ubuntu 8.10 64bit | 22:50 |
| erichofmann | I took a look around too... one post said to rename an old file (forget which one) and I did, and it seemed to work, until i launched one of the package manager apps again. | 22:50 |
| jeff-01 | One knows about an icon bar in Mac style like Avant Window Manager | 22:50 |
| crdlb | squirt33: not sure what exactly that means, but if you really want to run this app, you can just disable visual effects temporarily | 22:50 |
| imachine | yowshi, it's not about "reading" it (tho it is pretty much simple english, but that's beside the point) by asking "what dmesg says" I meant, show me ;] | 22:50 |
| Emu | fearful: sadly, that didn't work. :( | 22:50 |
| jpds | Nytrix: Why do you hate the freedom? | 22:50 |
| yowshi | imachine: it's a basic mose just usb instead of ps2 | 22:50 |
| imachine | yowshi, pastebin.com helps paste. | 22:50 |
| imachine | yowshi, paste the dmesg messages after the mouse stops working. also, you didn't answer my question, that is, does it work if you replug it? | 22:51 |
| yoyoned | yowshi:use pastebin | 22:51 |
| Nytrix | i love freedom | 22:51 |
| Nytrix | :) | 22:51 |
| McShane | erichofmann, try this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/dpkg-configure-a-error-361965/ | 22:51 |

| yowshi | OOPS VCAPS LOCK | 22:52 |

| qcjn | ok, i ve install virtualbox, in an hd in ntfs (didn't look before). I ve put fedora 10 in vbox, but it runs as live cd, so now i want to install it in vbox | 22:52 |
| yowshi | imachine: sorry about the caps | 22:52 |
| imachine | qcjn, you need to make a harddisk image. | 22:52 |
| squirt33 | crdlb: thanks. And btw, thanks for bailing me out when I broke beryl and later compiz fusion once a week a year or so back! | 22:53 |
| yoyoned | !trash | 22:53 |
| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 22:53 |
| imachine | qcjn, vboxgtk helps, unless you have the newer vbox from the vbox repo. | 22:53 |
| qcjn | imachine: thats done in vbox, i did | 22:53 |
| imachine | okay, so what's the problem? | 22:53 |
| imachine | just point your machine to use the particular image. | 22:53 |
| yowshi | imachine: how do i get the dmesg into pastebin if i cant highlight the text spit ot? | 22:53 |
| imachine | and voila. | 22:53 |
| imachine | yowshi, did you try what I told you? | 22:53 |
| qcjn | imachine: well i want to be sure that when i make the install in vbox , that it wont scre up anything else | 22:54 |

| imachine | qcjn, unless you provide control of an actual device, you're fine. | 22:54 |
| yowshi | jerknextdoor: the trouble is highlighting the text crdlb thanks imachine replugging it in doesnt work | 22:55 |

| kingsley | Is it reasonable to assume that a scsi host adapter card has failed when 1.) the kernel stopped seeing a SCSI scanner attached to it, and 2.) a week later, the kernel stopped seeing the SCSI host adapter? | 23:01 |

| yowshi | imachine: what?? | 23:01 |
| imachine | qcjn, np. | 23:02 |
| abc2xyz | all these 1446 people are developers or just users? | 23:02 |
| imachine | yowshi, i.e. move you xorg.conf file somewhere else, then reboot. | 23:02 |
| Emu | fearless: still doesn't play | 23:02 |
| yowshi | ah ok | 23:02 |
| bobbob1016 | abc2xyz, A combination of both | 23:02 |
| mikewu | bobbob1016: yes /usr/bin | 23:02 |
| yowshi | imachine: wont that break my system? | 23:02 |
| bobbob1016 | mikewu, And does it need .sh, or not really? | 23:02 |
| imachine | yowshi, like I said, your x.org config file should be autocreated on next boot. | 23:03 |
| yowshi | imachine: also you want me to move my backup as well? | 23:03 |
| imachine | no I don't care about the backup | 23:03 |

| Emu | fearful: didn't work :( | 23:05 |
| fearful_ | taz_, nope | 23:05 |
| imachine | jerknextdoor, afaik since 8.04 X.org doesn't even need a config file. | 23:05 |
| imachine | even if it's nvidia. | 23:05 |
| imachine | so it should work fine, and he had /dev/psaux as mouse port. | 23:05 |
| abc2xyz | does ubuntu require anti virus? | 23:05 |
| taz_ | fearful: it is cool | 23:05 |
| imachine | so maybe that somewhat interfered with his evdevs. | 23:05 |
| jerknextdoor | abc2xyz: no. | 23:05 |
| chrismurf | abc2xyz, it is much less likely that you will get a virus on ubuntu than on other operating systems. | 23:05 |

| jerknextdoor | abc2xyz: don't allow physical access and you're fine. | 23:07 |
