| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: other distros such as Gentoo sure, but Ubuntu no | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| victoria | sebsebseb: never mind, i find it out , thanks anyway :) | 00:00 |
| WarriorSlayer | sebsebseb: why? | 00:00 |
| dufourj | ikonia: but i need 1000mbps to transfer files across the network at a full 300 | 00:00 |
| ikonia | dufourj: then try it | 00:00 |
| ikonia | dufourj: you won't get 300mps | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: because Ubuntu isn't really the type of distro where people tend to compile their own kernels if at all | 00:00 |
| dufourj | ikonia: how will i test it? | 00:00 |
| ikonia | WarriorSlayer: you can do it if you want and know what you are doing | 00:00 |
| ikonia | dufourj: move a file | 00:00 |
| ikonia | dufourj: or use ethtool to check the link status | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | victoria: ah ok | 00:01 |
| ikonia | dufourj: or read the syslog | 00:01 |
| WarriorSlayer | sebsebseb: ikonia: but there's anything from ubuntu that gonna lock me of this? | 00:01 |
| DVA5912 | how do i open ports up in iptables | 00:01 |
| WarriorSlayer | like ubuntu trying to update my kernel using the stable one? | 00:01 |
| ikonia | WarriorSlayer: no | 00:01 |
| dufourj | ikonia: i might transfer a file from ramdisk | 00:01 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | does anyone know how much the memory footprints differs between the 8.10 desktop version and server version? I'm thinking of maybe switching from desktop to server afterall, since I'll probably won't be using the gui anyway | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: why do you want to compile yoru own? | 00:01 |
| WarriorSlayer | sebsebseb: to optimize my kernel | 00:01 |
| ikonia | Iceman_B^Ltop: then it won't difer | 00:02 |
| ikonia | WarriorSlayer: in what way ? | 00:02 |
| WarriorSlayer | disabling stuff that i don't need | 00:02 |
| WarriorSlayer | to make the booting time faster | 00:02 |
| ikonia | Iceman_B^Ltop: infact you'll be better on the generic desktop kernel - rather than the server | 00:02 |
| ikonia | WarriorSlayer: such as - | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: if you want more control of your technical system under the hood, Ubuntu probably isn't really the correct distro | 00:02 |
| ikonia | WarriorSlayer: the ubuntu kernel is modular, so you only load what you need | 00:02 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | ikonia: oh, okay | 00:02 |
| ikonia | WarriorSlayer: so I'm curious to how you think that will make it faster | 00:02 |
| WarriorSlayer | ikonia: it's 100% modular? | 00:02 |
| ikonia | WarriorSlayer: yup | 00:02 |
| dufourj | ikonia: thanks for the help | 00:02 |
| WarriorSlayer | there's nothing in the ubuntu kernel that is inside the kernel? | 00:03 |
| ikonia | WarriorSlayer: only stuff that can't be built as a module, or that is required for ubuntu's components to work | 00:03 |
| dufourj | does anyone knoe how to install linux onto my router a linksys wrt310on | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: Ubuntu's kernel should be fine, unless maybe your going to do something really fancy that requires some other kernel | 00:03 |
| Tarawneh | nephish: I checked man interfaces. nothing wrong from there. My file contains | 00:03 |
| ikonia | dufourj: you need a special distro | 00:03 |
| Tarawneh | auto lo | 00:03 |
| Tarawneh | iface lo inet loopback | 00:03 |
| Tarawneh | iface eth0 inet static | 00:03 |

| Tarawneh | gateway 134.102.141.250 | 00:03 |
| ikonia | Tarawneh: please stop | 00:03 |
| dufourj | ikonia: is it possible, and what are the benifits? | 00:03 |
| WarriorSlayer | oh ty very much then guys ^^ | 00:04 |
| ikonia | dufourj: no idea if it's possible on your specific model, and if you don't have a need to do it there will be no benifits | 00:04 |
| Tarawneh | sorry | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: by the way | 00:04 |
| yowshi | hey anyone here use kde? i would like some help trying to figure out how to change how it does some stuff | 00:04 |
| === spikku is now known as Guest17827 | ||
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: Ubuntu only releases security updates, well there are some ppa for some apps. for later stuff yes you would need a later version of Ubuntu | 00:04 |
| dufourj | does anyone know what a good 1000mbps NIC is for ubuntu 8.04? | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: where as other distros are more cutting edge | 00:05 |
| ikonia | dufourj: read the supported list | 00:05 |
| WarriorSlayer | sebsebseb: hmm understood | 00:05 |
| cappiz | someone knows of a utility that can read s.m.a.r.t data from a file? | 00:05 |
| dufourj | ikonia: im looking for personal antecdote | 00:05 |
| ikonia | dufourj: all the ones that are supported are fine | 00:05 |
| Flare183 | How do I upgrade using a alternative CD? | 00:05 |
| ikonia | !upgrade > Flare183 | 00:05 |
| ubottu | Flare183, please see my private message | 00:05 |
| Flare183 | thanks ikonia | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: just out of curiosity why did you want to compile yoru own anyway? | 00:06 |
| MoTec | cappiz: you can't read SMART data from a file.. but the utility smartctl will give you the info for a drive. | 00:06 |
| MoTec | cappiz: smartctl -a /dev/hda | 00:06 |
| WarriorSlayer | sebsebseb: to make it more faster having only things that i need | 00:06 |
| WarriorSlayer | for my pc | 00:06 |
| MoTec | or whatever device | 00:06 |
| dufourj | ikonia: im also looking for a purchase location and price from another successful user | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: get Jaunty when it's released and do Ext4 and you got faster | 00:06 |
| Tarawneh | nephish: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121621/ | 00:06 |
| cappiz | MoTec, i have the data in a file | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: April yeah | 00:06 |
| ikonia | dufourj: that doesn't matter as people are form around the world, look in your local shops or the main websites for your region | 00:06 |
| WarriorSlayer | sebsebseb: jaunty = the next ubuntu version? | 00:07 |
| cappiz | the device cant be read, as it is attached to a raid kontroller | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: yes the next Ubuntu version | 00:07 |
| MoTec | cappiz: good luck | 00:07 |
| === daedra1 is now known as daedra | ||
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: default is Ext3, but it has Ext4 support | 00:07 |
| WarriorSlayer | yep i know | 00:07 |
| dufourj | ikonia: i shop online! | 00:07 |
| WarriorSlayer | new kernels have ext4 support | 00:07 |
| cappiz | there should be a program that can read the data :P | 00:07 |
| WarriorSlayer | but anyway i would need to format my partitions | 00:07 |
| mrpockets | how do i chown everythign within a directory? | 00:07 |
| cappiz | as i do have the hex data | 00:07 |
| ikonia | dufourj: ok - so shop online, find the best deals, this isn't a shopping channel | 00:07 |
| ikonia | mrpockets: chown -R | 00:08 |
| WarriorSlayer | and still there's not much support for ext4 | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: yep probably | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | WarriorSlayer: not much suppourt for Ext4????? | 00:08 |
| dufourj | WarriorSlayer: what is the diffference between ext3 and ext4 | 00:08 |
| ikonia | dufourj: one is more mature | 00:08 |
| DVA5912 | how do i open ports up in iptables | 00:08 |
| rewt | dufourj: ext4 is 1 betterer than ext3 | 00:08 |
| WarriorSlayer | i think the way files are written and read from the disk | 00:08 |
| sobersabre | hi guys. | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | sobersabre: hi | 00:08 |
| sobersabre | I have connected 2 machines with 2 giga NICs one to another. | 00:09 |
| rewt | DVA5912: the most basic way is: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport <yourport> -j ACCEPT | 00:09 |
| sobersabre | and for some reason they are currently connected at 100 Mb/s | 00:09 |
| MoTec | cappiz: if you can't read it with a text file i'm not sure what smart data you have.. | 00:09 |
| nephish | Tarawneh, when you do the network restart then do ifconfig, do you get the same thing ? i mean | 00:09 |
| MoTec | cappiz: what i see generally looks like: http://www.3ware.com/kb/attachments/smartmonexampleoutput.txt | 00:09 |
| sobersabre | one has a nic with forcedeth, and another is r8169 | 00:09 |
| nephish | when you first boot, do you have the ssame statts?? | 00:09 |
| mrpockets | thanks ikonia | 00:09 |
| nephish | as when after you do network restart | 00:09 |
| nephish | ? | 00:09 |
| mrpockets | also, how do i prevent mounted drives from appearign on desktiop | 00:10 |
| sobersabre | can I force them to be working at gigbit ? | 00:10 |
| meoblast001 | why doesnt the man page for date say anything about "date -I"? | 00:10 |
| ikonia | mrpockets: thats a paramater within gconf | 00:10 |
| homeskill | whats better for putting songs on an ipod, rhythmbox or amarok? | 00:10 |
| meoblast001 | i want to know a command that gets date and time in a non-space format | 00:10 |
| fearful | mrpockets, press alt + f2 and type gconf-editor | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | homeskill: not sure if either can do it even | 00:10 |
| ikonia | meoblast001: date can do it if you look at the options | 00:10 |
| meoblast001 | ikonia: i did look | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | homeskill: and not even Banshee as far as I know. Intrepid Ibex versin of Bansehe very good | 00:10 |
| Tarawneh | nephish: yes | 00:10 |
| mrpockets | thank fearful | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | homeskill: I know out there some where, is what is meant to be a very good iturnes open source alternative though | 00:11 |
| fearful | mrpockets, then look under apps/nautilus/desktop | 00:11 |
| homeskill | sebastien_ an ubuntu community forum says that banshee and amarok and gtkpod can do i | 00:11 |
| fearful | mrpockets, should be volumes visible and untick that and voila | 00:11 |
| meoblast001 | ikonia: %F makes no sense to me | 00:11 |
| DVA5912 | rewt, how would i specift output | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | homeskill: well use Banshee then :) make sure it's Intrepid Ibex version | 00:11 |
| meoblast001 | ikonia: date %F didn't do anything | 00:11 |
| ikonia | meoblast001: date +%m%d%y | 00:11 |
| mrpockets | amazing | 00:11 |
| mrpockets | thanks agian man! | 00:12 |
| fearful | mrpockets, your very welcome | 00:12 |
| cappiz | MoTec, ah thanks :) | 00:12 |
| abc2xyz | how to use http://paste.ubuntu.com ? | 00:12 |
| rewt | DVA5912, you can allow all related/established connections out with: iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT | 00:12 |
| MoTec | cappiz: is it just text? :) | 00:12 |
| rewt | DVA5912, one rule for all ports | 00:12 |
| dufourj | rewt: ext2 is better than ext3 because you can recover deleted files | 00:12 |
| xzoLx | http://paste.ubuntu.com/121624/ | 00:12 |
| rewt | ext2? | 00:13 |
| Huufarted | Can anybody recommend a good program that I can use (live CD probably) that will let me resize my active Linux partition? | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | dufourj: that can be done with Ext3. I did that with a WIndows program though. that could get into deleted partitions to | 00:13 |
| cappiz | MoTec, i get the status, temp etc. | 00:13 |
| DVA5912 | Man i really really hate to go back on windows just for my dell axim | 00:13 |
| fearful | Huufarted, yea LiveCD since it has to be unmounted | 00:14 |
| prince_jammys | Huufarted: gparted, which i believe is included in the ubuntu live cd installer | 00:14 |
| MoTec | Huufarted: gparted | 00:14 |
| NoNick34234 | does anyone know how to make a USB stick install Ubuntu? It won't detect the CD-ROM. I remember seeing a way to symlink the USB device to the CD-ROM directory, but i can't find it | 00:14 |
| Huufarted | MoTec, thanks. :) | 00:14 |
| cappiz | but twa0, is that port 0 on the controller MoTec? | 00:14 |
| dufourj | sebsebseb: so you admit that windows offers some proprietary programs that linux cnt match? | 00:14 |
| BCM43 | DVA5912: are you threatening us? | 00:14 |
| Huufarted | Motec, will it let me resize NTFS partitions? | 00:14 |
| abc2xyz | NoNick34234: do u have ubuntu 8.10 installed? | 00:14 |
| NoNick34234 | yes | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | dufourj: no the program I used was open source | 00:14 |
| fearful | prince_jammys, Huufarted gparted is on LiveCD | 00:14 |
| rewt | lol BCM43 | 00:14 |
| NoNick34234 | but i want to install a command-line system with the alt. cd | 00:14 |
| Huufarted | fearful, thanks. :) I appreciate it | 00:14 |
| MoTec | cappiz: not sure.. sounds like it. | 00:14 |
| dufourj | sebsebseb: doubtful, then whhy was it written for a proprietary OS? | 00:14 |
| cappiz | Ok, only got response for that disk, not the others :) | 00:14 |
| sobersabre | hmm.. | 00:14 |
| BCM43 | NoNick34234: install just the base system | 00:14 |
| NoNick34234 | is that an option on the main CD? | 00:15 |
| MoTec | cappiz: the tools report on only one drive at a time, maybe that's why | 00:15 |
| BCM43 | NoNick34234: I don't think so | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | dufourj: would load stuff up in the command prompt | 00:15 |
| MoTec | unless they just appended the second file to the end of the first | 00:15 |
| BCM43 | NoNick34234: I think the minimal cd would work even better | 00:15 |
| cappiz | MoTec: ok | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | dufourj: and I never said I was a MS hater, and dual boots can be useful at times, Windows and Ubuntu | 00:15 |
| syzothermy | hey all, my wireless is still messed up D= | 00:15 |
| NoNick34234 | the problem isn't the CD i'm using, its that I'm using a USB stick to install it | 00:16 |
| BCM43 | syzothermy: what is the problem? | 00:16 |
| abc2xyz | NoNick34234: system> administrator> create bootable disk | 00:16 |
| NoNick34234 | and it tries to detect my non-existant CD | 00:16 |
| syzothermy | network-manager works fine for my WEP (using it now), but should it disconnect, it won't automatically reconnect | 00:16 |
| BCM43 | NoNick34234: I see. I assume your computers BIOS is configured correctly? | 00:16 |
| NoNick34234 | yes, LiveUSB distros work fine | 00:17 |
| cappiz | smartctl --device=3ware,1 -a /dev/twa0 | 00:17 |
| cappiz | smartctl --device=3ware,2 -a /dev/twa0 | 00:17 |
| cappiz | :) | 00:17 |
| abc2xyz | NoNick34234: sorry i didnt get wht exactly is ur prob | 00:17 |
| NoNick34234 | its a known and verified bug, but i can't google a fix, although i remember seeing on in the past | 00:17 |
| BCM43 | NoNick34234: but what happens if you try to install (sorry if you already gave this info) | 00:17 |
| MoTec | cappiz: hehe, yep | 00:18 |
| NoNick34234 | it gets to the point of detecting the CD-ROM and then fails, since i'm using a USB stick | 00:18 |
| MoTec | cappiz: /dev/twa0 is the raid controller, or the virtual device the system sees that array as, I suppose. | 00:18 |
| abc2xyz | NoNick34234: did u check the boot priority? | 00:18 |
| BCM43 | NoNick34234: But you said that the graphical works fine. | 00:18 |
| Tarawneh | c u :) | 00:19 |
| NoNick34234 | yes, until it tries to detect the cdrom | 00:19 |
| syzothermy | anyone? :P | 00:19 |
| abc2xyz | NoNick34234: which laptop are u suing? | 00:19 |
| BCM43 | NoNick34234: doesn't it need to do that in the beginning? | 00:19 |
| abc2xyz | using* | 00:19 |
| Kdub | anyone here familiar with how dkms works with the nvidia drivers? | 00:19 |
| freethewhat | can someone help me with flux menu and running sudo within the menu? | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | syzothermy: what do you want? | 00:19 |
| cappiz | MoTec, twa0 would be the unit on the controller :) | 00:19 |
| syzothermy | <syzothermy> network-manager works fine for my WEP (using it now), but should it disconnect, it won't automatically reconnect <-- | 00:19 |
| NoNick34234 | it boots normally off the usb stick, asks about my keyboard layout, then fails when it tries to find the cdrom | 00:19 |
| syzothermy | any ideas? | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | no | 00:20 |
| BCM43 | syzothermy: it must be in the configuration. Look around the properties/preferences. | 00:20 |
| NoNick34234 | i used Unetbootin | 00:20 |
| syzothermy | the "automatically reconnect" checkbox doesnt help | 00:20 |
| BCM43 | NoNick34234: could it be a messed up usb stick? | 00:20 |
| MoTec | cappiz: yeah, but twa0 represents more than one drive.. thats's what the /device=3ware,1 ,2 is about | 00:20 |
| MoTec | ,1 is one drive, ,2 another | 00:20 |
| BCM43 | NoNick34234: or a messed up configuration of the usb stick? | 00:20 |
| fearful | syzothermy, make sure its set to Auto under 'Edit Connections' menu | 00:20 |
| === usser_ is now known as usser | ||
| syzothermy | yeah, that one | 00:20 |
| NoNick34234 | BCM43: no, its a known bug. it just expects a cdrom instead of a usb stick | 00:20 |
| abc2xyz | NoNick34234 try another usb stick | 00:21 |
| BCM43 | NoNick34234: do you have the link to the bug? | 00:21 |
| syzothermy | didn't do its job :P | 00:21 |
| NoNick34234 | i remember seeing a way to symlink the usb device to the cdrom device to trick it | 00:21 |
| fearful | syzothermy, have you tried restarting your system | 00:21 |
| NoNick34234 | i'll get the bug | 00:21 |
| syzothermy | many times, still doesn't auto reconnect | 00:21 |
| cappiz | MoTec, yeah twa0 is the raid unit, and the --device=3ware,[N] would be the port on the controller and the disk attached to the [N] port :) | 00:21 |
| fearful | syzothermy, and your running which version of Ubuntu? | 00:21 |
| syzothermy | oh, sorry | 00:22 |
| syzothermy | 8.10 | 00:22 |
| NoNick34234 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer-utils/+bug/234185 | 00:22 |
| syzothermy | it's a Realtek RTL8180 | 00:22 |
| abc2xyz | NoNick34234: is ur usb stick formatted in ntfs? | 00:22 |
| MoTec | cappiz: makes sense :) | 00:22 |
| NoNick34234 | its formatted as fat32, the usb stick works fine. testes with other liveusb distros | 00:22 |
| fearful | syzothermy, can you try deleting completely the connection under 'Edit Connections' and do a fresh setup | 00:22 |
| rww | syzothermy: there's a known bug with no solution that causes the RTL8187 drivers to break randomly. Maybe RTL8180 has the same problem. | 00:23 |
| abc2xyz | NoNick34234: try mkdosfs /dev/sdX1 | 00:23 |
| BCM43 | NoNick34234: what if you tell it that the usbdrive is a cd? trick it? | 00:23 |
| NoNick34234 | hmm i think that link i sent actually has the fix | 00:23 |
| cappiz | Thanks for the help MoTec :) | 00:23 |
| abc2xyz | i had similar prob not same though and it worked NoNick34234 | 00:23 |

| asdfqwer | anyone know how to boot an iso from grub? | 00:23 |
| jrib | con-man: ctrl-shift-numlock (or keyboard preferences somewhere) | 00:23 |
| con-man | jrib: thanks | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | asdfqwer: I have looked into that, it seems to be possible, but difficult to set up, how about using a virtual machine instead? | 00:24 |
| con-man | jrib: I use so many keyboard shortcuts sometimes I hit an obscure one by accident that switches a setting | 00:24 |
| asdfqwer | sebsebseb, well, i found a method with knoppix | 00:24 |

| DVA5912 | What tool can i use to extract exe files | 00:24 |
| syzothermy | rww: any links so that I could follow it or something =) | 00:24 |

| asdfqwer | BCM43, sebsebseb i dunno if knoppix uses different boot options or what | 00:26 |
| sebsebseb | it does | 00:26 |
| Royall | How do I stop this error when I try to mount my external? ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdb1': No such file or directory | 00:26 |

| x2o | from intrepid | 00:27 |
| strebor | DVA5912: cabextract? | 00:27 |
| syzothermy | Only difference is that network-manager catches that it has no connection | 00:27 |

| Royall | prince_jammys: what am I looking for | 00:29 |
| strebor | DVA5912: cabextract is a program that un-archives files in the Microsoft cabinet file | 00:29 |

| Royall | I've also tried sudo mount /dev/sdb1 | 00:31 |

| null_head | Hi. For some reason after this last update, no sound comes out of my computer: only a crackle. | 00:35 |
| null_head | But when I open sound preferences and test the sound using OSS, I get the test beep. | 00:36 |
| fearful | null_head, double click the sound icon and put the PCM all the way up | 00:36 |
| null_head | It is. | 00:36 |
| fearful | null_head, what sound device? | 00:37 |
| === iTroll is now known as Guest31324 | ||

| MoTec | Iceman_B^Ltop: it holds initilization scripts | 00:39 |
| prince_jammys | Iceman_B^Ltop: they are init script. the 'd' means directory | 00:39 |
| fearful | null_head, do you have HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) on the sound devices or something like that | 00:40 |
| forceflow | the .d is mostly an artifact from ancient times :) | 00:40 |
| null_head | Yes. | 00:40 |

| thesaint4444 | f_newton, sorry I don't use windows much. | 00:44 |
| f_newton | you should be able to resize it... if you cant you will have to do what I told you before | 00:44 |
| zerko-lap | IndyGunFreak hey i was under pingdom earlier, you actually gave me the link to install the drivers over at ubuntugeek | 00:45 |
| thesaint4444 | f_newton, what is the best way to resize - via shrink? | 00:45 |
| zerko-lap | i followed that but now the connection is crappy | 00:45 |

| mikewu | Royall: mv folder_name new_folder_name | 00:45 |
| zerko-lap | hmmm | 00:45 |
| f_newton | thesaint4444, what I do is open up the admin tools storage snap in and click on resize | 00:45 |
| zerko-lap | im in an apartment with a bunch of other wireless connections | 00:45 |
| thesaint4444 | f_newton, I can use your described method but I am trying to save some time... | 00:46 |
| zerko-lap | could that be the issue | 00:46 |
| f_newton | then I shrink it down as far as I want | 00:46 |
| thesaint4444 | f_newton, ok, will give that a go... | 00:46 |
| f_newton | how much time have you saved so far thesaint4444 ? | 00:46 |

| zerko-lap | yes i can see a list of networks | 00:48 |
| squirt33 | nephis: if it has a gui, then use gksudo, or else you could be in trouble | 00:48 |
| f_newton | magaio, There are actually several | 00:48 |
| zerko-lap | the connection is VERY slow and unstable | 00:48 |

| bod | Hi, i cant seem to install nvidia drivers from the hardware drivers program. how can i install them through apt? | 00:55 |
| unop | squirt33, you really don't want to force install a binary package that old. for two reasons, it's probably binary incompatible (as it was built with an older toolset and libraries) and you could upset quite a few packages and land yourself with a very inconsistent package database. | 00:55 |
| Huufarted | If you move a parition in gparted, will it move the data with it? | 00:56 |
| thesaint4444 | f_newton, ok, thanks. Should there be a 'resize' option - I can't seem to find it... - 'shrink' is the only similar thing. | 00:56 |

| bod | jrib, just out of curiosity, should that link have been to the binary drivers how to (in general) or to the nvidia one (specific)? | 01:04 |

| bod | jrib, yes it does, but as the factoid was !nvidia i just wondered why it was not a direct link, nvm :) | 01:05 |
| jrib | bod: ah, probably just to keep factoid maintenance down :) | 01:06 |

| Loganhoup | and grep info on the broken packages http://paste.ubuntu.com/121632/ Please help I've tried virtually everything else. This is my last hope. | 01:14 |
| Loganhoup | wow, I'm sorry thats so huge. | 01:14 |
| bod | jrib, that means im using the driver? hmm, wonder why im stuck in 800x600 then | 01:14 |
| roadrock | Loganhoup: in synaptic choose fix broken. | 01:14 |
| WelshDragon | bod, try running nvidia-settings | 01:15 |
| Loganhoup | I tried | 01:15 |
| fearful | Loganhoup, have you tried restarting in recovery mode, and do the fix broken packages | 01:15 |
| Loganhoup | it didnt work | 01:15 |
| Loganhoup | No | 01:15 |
| fearful | Loganhoup, not even when booting in recovery mode? | 01:15 |
| bod | WelshDragon, just tried that, says im NOT using the nvidia driver | 01:15 |
| === richard is now known as Guest71190 | ||
| Loganhoup | I havent tried recovery mode yet | 01:15 |
| fearful | Loganhoup, try it just to be sure | 01:15 |
| Loganhoup | I will return shortly | 01:15 |
| Loganhoup | thank you | 01:15 |
| WelshDragon | bod, Have you restarted X since installing them? | 01:15 |
| bod | WelshDragon, yeah, i rebooted | 01:16 |
| Guest71190 | Any chit-chat on when Ubuntu will include the xf86-video-intel 2.6.0 in X.org? It supports HDMI Audio :) | 01:16 |
| el_chupa | hey when i open a file from my hdd it works fine but if i try to copy the file to a flashdrive it becomes corrupt and is filled with radnom symbols. any ideas? | 01:16 |
| WelshDragon | bod, checked your xorg log for any possible errors loading the driver? | 01:16 |
| f_newton | guest xfree86 and xorg are two competing protocols | 01:17 |
| Guest71190 | X.org project is from Xfree86 f_newton | 01:17 |
| f_newton | whatever | 01:17 |
| bod | WelshDragon, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep nvidia returns nothing | 01:17 |
| Gnea | X.org is just the newer version of the X protocol, while XFree86 is the older one. they don't compete. | 01:18 |
| yowshi | anypone here know how to move app launchers in a panel from gnome into a kde panel? | 01:18 |
| jrib | bod: pastebin the log | 01:18 |
| Guest71190 | Exactly what i was gonna say, but in totally different words. | 01:18 |
| squirt33 | unop: Ok, I tracked some source down. Somehow, I have managed to maintain a linux install for, like 4 years and not compiled much of anything. What do I do first? | 01:18 |
| fearful | yowshi, I'm not sure you can do that because kde and gnome work differently | 01:18 |
| yowshi | grrr between my missing app launchers and firefox...i like how kde looks now i just dont knwo if i can use it | 01:19 |
| BCM43 | yowshi: what is wrong with firefox? | 01:19 |
| bod | jrib, WelshDragon -- found some nvidia related stuff in there http://paste.ubuntu.com/121636/ -- and heres the whole log http://paste.ubuntu.com/121637/ | 01:20 |
| yowshi | the addons wont adctivate | 01:20 |
| yowshi | BCM43: | 01:20 |
| nephish | exit | 01:20 |
| fearful | yowshi, I'm sure there is way to get the launchers that you want on kde, I don't personally use kde but I'm sure there is. | 01:20 |
| DVA5912 | Ok so ive installed Active sync 4.5 on ubuntu but i cant get it to see the dell axim x5.... anyone else have this problem or know what i need to try or possibly fix? | 01:20 |
| f_newton | anyway the latest intel video driver is included in the 2.6.27.X kernels | 01:20 |
| yowshi | fearful: i hope other then creating them again because some of them run commands which i cant remember. which is why i made them into app launchers in the first place | 01:20 |
| squirt33 | yowshi: head over to the kubuntu channel, I think that maybe it's called #kubuntu or #kubuntu-help or something. | 01:20 |
| f_newton | according to intel | 01:21 |
| unop | squirt33, well, most tarballs have a README or INSTALL file that has instructions to build the package - i'm pretty sure this one has one. the usual steps are ./configure; make; make install # but you have to satisfy build dependencies first - the README should tell you what they are. | 01:21 |
| WelshDragon | bod, can you pastebin your xorg.conf aswell? | 01:21 |
| fearful | yowshi, google is a friend you know ;) | 01:21 |
| squirt33 | unop: ok | 01:21 |
| Gnea | f_newton: you mis-understood. first of all, the person who asked is not here anymore. second, he was talking about the X driver, not a kernel driver. | 01:21 |
| yowshi | fearful: yeah but with stuff like this what do i google? gnome to kde switch over? thatwill probably get me 10 thousand reviews of gnome or kde and why to switch | 01:21 |
| bod | WelshDragon, here ya go -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/121639/ | 01:22 |
| fearful | yowshi, well it depends on what you want | 01:22 |
| fearful | yowshi, and if you have gnome and kde on the same machine then it shouldn't matter the commands will work | 01:22 |
| BCM43 | yowshi: what do you mean the won't activate? | 01:23 |
| f_newton | well the latest intel driver for xorg.. what is it 7.3? is included by intel in to xorg and is there for the kernels mentioned. this information is freely available on the intel site | 01:23 |
| nephish | hey all | 01:23 |
| BCM43 | hi | 01:23 |
| WelshDragon | bod, When you say you rebooted after installing the drivers. Was that before or after running nvidia-xconfig? The xorg log appears to be loading vesa, when the conf file specifies the nvidia driver. :s | 01:23 |
| yowshi | fearful: yeah but i cant remember the commands i didnt write thme down i put them in an app launcher on the gnome panel | 01:23 |
| Montag1 | So I just installed 8.10 on a machine with an ATI HD3650... | 01:23 |
| Montag1 | And it has two monitos hooked up to it | 01:23 |

| danbhfive | Loganhoup: did you fix it? | 01:24 |
| fearful | yowshi, well thats my point you can just search for 'firefox terminal lanuch kubuntu 8.10' or sometihng like that | 01:24 |
| f_newton | supposedly it is included in ubuntu, suse, mandriva, fedora, puplinux, etc etc | 01:24 |
| Loganhoup | hold on | 01:24 |
| Montag1 | the screen resolution control can't detect both monitors | 01:24 |
| yowshi | BCM43: i mean firefox has them listed as installed but they arewnt running. no reloav every no quick save movies no nothing | 01:24 |
| Montag1 | ubott: sorry? | 01:24 |
| Gnea | f_newton: please, check your facts before making errounus statements: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-January/042537.html | 01:24 |

| yowshi | fearful: *sighs* firefox issue and the app launcher issue are two seperate things. like my screen res resetter i havent needed it in a while but just the other day i needed to reset my screen resolution. i made that an app launcher button on my panel cause i'd never remember it otherwise | 01:25 |

| fearful | BCM43, he's trying on KDE yowshi I would look for the screen resolution in kde, as I said I don't use kde check the kubuntu channels this is Ubuntu | 01:26 |
| yowshi | BCM43: yes but i'd have to constantly switch from gnome to kde or something | 01:26 |
| Gnea | keres: it doesn't work that way. he's going to want visual studio. ask in #windows | 01:26 |
| Loganhoup | danbhfive: Synaptic is locked due to broken packages so I can't | 01:26 |
| keres | Gnea, he doesnt need to compile it :/ i just want the generated .exe | 01:26 |
| yowshi | fearful: please stop offering advice if you dont iunderstand what the person is saying | 01:26 |

| snowy | Hi, I have a problem connecting to the internet. I am suspecting right now it's due to the fact that somehow both my wireless and wired interfaces are not configure to use IPv4 (only IPv6 is listed). The odd thing is that I have no problem connecting to the internet with my laptop while I am at home (with both wired and wireless) but I just can't get an ip address despite my wireless card detecting the access point. Any help :D ? | 01:30 |
| danbhfive | Loganhoup: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121631/ lines 10 and 13 | 01:30 |
| Gnea | f_newton: who's arguing? I was just pointing out the official ubuntu stance on the particular driver. That is, it's available in 9.04 but not 8.XX | 01:30 |
| abc2xyz | meoblast001: whats inspirecd? | 01:31 |
| f_newton | oh... well that may be wise. it has a lot of apparent issues with any chipset other then the 965gm | 01:31 |

| BCM43 | keres: I am getting errors compiling. | 01:32 |
| danbhfive | Loganhoup: I would just keep removing packages that apt-get upgrade complains about till you can run it. Make sure your system is uptodate. Then, try reinstalling whatever it is you are developing | 01:33 |

| Gnea | well, I don't know what to say to that :) | 01:33 |

| abc2xyz | f_newton: does that mean no one else can login at that time? | 01:42 |
| OptimusPrime | anyone have this problem? | 01:42 |
| orudie | jrib, i need to know what number it is, like what the chmod is set to | 01:42 |
| f_newton | well thanks for your help n8tuserf ... abc2xyz what it means is if the intruder is at your keyboard and knows linux he can create his own root account | 01:42 |
| squirt33 | optimusprime: the folks over at #compiz-fusion might be better equipped to deal with eye candy stuff. | 01:42 |
| OptimusPrime | thanks | 01:42 |
| Montag1 | sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` works just fine. but then "sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko" yields the following error: "insmod: can't read '/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko': No such file or directory" | 01:43 |
| jrib | orudie: ls -ld gives you that information. Convert it to a number if you want. If you really just want a number, then use « stat » | 01:43 |

| snowy | Hi, I have a problem connecting to the internet. I am suspecting right now it's due to the fact that somehow both my wireless and wired interfaces are not configure to use IPv4 (only IPv6 is listed). The odd thing is that I have no problem connecting to the internet with my laptop while I am at home (with both wired and wireless) but I just can't get an ip address despite my wireless card detecting the access point. Any help :D ? | 01:44 |
| f_newton | abc2xyz, I keep puplinux on a thumbdrive so I can use any computer w/ usb booting capabilities | 01:44 |
| Montag1 | oh, dammit | 01:44 |
| Montag1 | the proprietary driver was already being used | 01:44 |
| Montag1 | whoever sent me a link to how to install tghem I guess didn't know that | 01:45 |
| f_newton | lol Montag1 | 01:45 |
| Montag1 | pr was intentionally wasting my time. :) | 01:45 |
| Montag1 | but I still can't detect my displays | 01:45 |
| f_newton | no one intentionally wastes your time monstah | 01:45 |
| abc2xyz | f_newton: sorry if its a stupid ques, wht does puplinux do? | 01:45 |
| f_newton | sorry monstah | 01:45 |
| f_newton | I meant Montag1 | 01:45 |
| f_newton | puplinux is a very small linux distro you can load on a thumbdrive w/persistent data | 01:46 |
| Montag1 | So any thoughts on getting this thing to use both monitors in a useful fashion? | 01:46 |
| abc2xyz | u can do the saame with bootable usb stick right? f_newton | 01:46 |
| f_newton | its helpful if you are unable to get to your own machine and it doesnt interfere with the one you are using | 01:46 |
| Montag1 | I hate the thought of reinstalling the OS That Shall NOt Be Named | 01:46 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| orudie | which permission would www directory have ? | 01:46 |
| f_newton | thats what a thumbdrive is iirc abc2xyz | 01:47 |
| cooldduuudde | f_newton hey i have a problem creating a usb boot drive | 01:47 |
| xiaopi | which OS Montag1 ? | 01:47 |
| cooldduuudde | it starts but doesn't make any progress | 01:47 |
| f_newton | cooldduuudde, the only experience I have is with puplinux... whats the problem | 01:47 |
| Montag1 | xiaopi: not wanting to go back to Vista. Just installed Intrepid | 01:47 |
| cooldduuudde | f_newton it starts but doesn't make any progress | 01:48 |
| f_newton | it begins but doesnt find the boot files? | 01:48 |
| Montag1 | and can't get both monitors to do anything other than mirror each other through my ATI card | 01:48 |
| xiaopi | i mean seven beta just blows intrepid... i hope jaunty will have something to offer | 01:48 |
| Montag1 | want both as part of one desktop | 01:48 |
| f_newton | cooldduuudde, if this is ubuntu there is a well documented way to do it | 01:48 |
| abc2xyz | cooldduuudde: i had the same prob yesterday | 01:48 |
| abc2xyz | cooldduuudde: my usb was formatted in ntfs thats why it wasnt working | 01:49 |
| cooldduuudde | f_newton yeah i have ubuntu 8.10 | 01:49 |
| Montag1 | Not gonna run a beta, sorry. | 01:49 |
| Montag1 | And am hoping to leave MS forever. | 01:49 |
| cooldduuudde | abc2xyz but pen drives are fat | 01:49 |
| f_newton | when I am in the midst of other people's workstations I use puplinux cuz its lite, fast, and does all I need to do... give me web access and email | 01:49 |
| Montag1 | So I really just want to get this working under intrepid. I didn't come to an ubuntu channel to have someone try to talk me into Windows | 01:49 |
| f_newton | I use ubuntu, mandriva, and fedora on my deskktops | 01:49 |
| wolter_ | damn | 01:50 |
| wolter_ | this m1530 giving me kernel panic again. | 01:50 |
| abc2xyz | f_newton: so that means when u use the web, nothing is left behind on that pc right? never thought about it before :D | 01:50 |
| f_newton | Montag1, there are supposedly settings in your screen resolution gui | 01:50 |
| Montag1 | tyup, and they don't work | 01:51 |
| f_newton | yes abc2xyz thats the whole point | 01:51 |
| Montag1 | detect monitors yields on "unknown" on both | 01:51 |
| f_newton | it starts up under 20 seconds | 01:51 |
| Montag1 | and it just treats both as the same monitor | 01:51 |
| f_newton | Montag1, is there not an advance tab there | 01:51 |
| f_newton | ? | 01:51 |
| Montag1 | nope | 01:51 |
| nephish | hey all | 01:52 |
| BCM43 | hi | 01:52 |
| wolter_ | hi | 01:52 |
| f_newton | Montag1, I am ignorant of your answer but have you tried to google dual monitors in ubuntu ? | 01:52 |
| snowy | how come I can't change any settings for my networking? I don't have anything under system->administration-> (lots of posts refer to Network, but the only thing I have is 'Network tools', and if I select that there's no way to change any settings) | 01:52 |
| Montag1 | fnewton: been sifting through the results since I joined here, yeah | 01:52 |
| Montag1 | lots of REALLY old information | 01:52 |

| snowy | alright, I'll try. related to this, will network manager allow me to 'enable' ipv4? | 01:57 |
| Montag1 | no, I understand. I'm just frustrated. Every time I think linux is ready for prime time, something really basic like this slips by and freaks me out | 01:57 |
| jrib | orudie: well what are they... | 01:57 |
| snowy | 'cos right now I can't connect to the net. and network tools says my wireless card is only working with ipv6 | 01:57 |

| sebsebseb | Montag1: try another OS what did that mean? | 02:13 |
| Montag1 | sebsebseb: it was partially tongue in cheek. I need both of my monitors to work. if I can't get them to under ubuntu (I just installed), I'll use something else. | 02:14 |
| f_newton | Montag1, the only other distro I know of that is a plug n play as ubuntu is mandriva .... possibly suse.... fedora is more bleeding edge but less stable | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | Montag1: well alright as long as it's not Windows :) | 02:14 |
| Montag1 | sebsebseb: well, it mgiht have to be, since linux seems not to want to solve this problem | 02:14 |

| ubottu | WarriorSlayer: 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) | 02:16 |
| rww | WarriorSlayer: su asks for the root password. Ubuntu's root account is disabled by default. Everything you can do with su you can do (more securely) with sudo. | 02:16 |

| Montag1 | f_newton1: I understand that, but I am not made of money. I can't just go buy all new video cards because of a bias. | 02:16 |
| f_newton | WarriorSlayer, you can get to the root path by sudo -i | 02:17 |
| WarriorSlayer | rww: so no su for me? | 02:17 |
| WarriorSlayer | i'm trying su just because i'm about to run a bunch of commands that need superuser | 02:17 |
| abc2xyz | WarriorSlayer: unless u activate it urself, no | 02:17 |
| redvamp128 | acfrazier: I have seen that issue and depending on you laptop- you may be able to go into the bios and change the settings from -- function/os on and off to just ON | 02:17 |
| rww | WarriorSlayer: use "sudo -i" instead. | 02:17 |
| Montag1 | tiem for another logout-login attempt | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | Montag1: a bit crappy really, but if this dual monitor thing is so important, and no luck with other distros or other Unin's such as PC BSD. you could do Linux in a vm inside Windows. yes use Windows for the host, but only for monitor thing. I know not an amazing idea really | 02:18 |
| f_newton | WarriorSlayer, try sudo -i | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | oh he has left nevermind then | 02:18 |
| redvamp128 | acfrazier: the bad news is that the wireless even when asleep will stay on. and may come out of it on its own due to network traffic | 02:18 |
| polorix | So I'm trying to backup some of my files...I have two hard drives. One is a 500GB with vista on it and the other is a 250GB with Mac OSX on it. They both come up in "computer" as SCSI Drives...When i click them it says unabled to mount...How can i have access to them so i can put them on my external USB drive? (500=NTFS | 250=mac journaled) | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | I guess let people like that use Windows LOL | 02:18 |
| polorix | btw, on the live CD | 02:18 |
| CritterKeeper | Hello, all! I'm a brand new/potential ubuntu user, trying to get a Live CD working on my formerly XP laptop. Does anyone have the time to help me out? | 02:19 |
| jrib | orudie: yes | 02:19 |
| f_newton | sebsebseb, you are carrying it too far... and "people like that"... what kind of statement is that ... lol | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | CritterKeeper: in a bit I do | 02:19 |
| polorix | apparently no one can help me | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | f_newton: heh indeed | 02:20 |
| acfrazier | redvamp128: Even with hardware wireless switch off it tends to stay pn | 02:20 |
| orudie | jrib, ok i did it, still not sure what to point in the web browser | 02:20 |
| supertanker | ""E: Could not open file /cdrom/dists/intrepid/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages - open (2 No such file or directory) | 02:20 |

| f_newton | heh Im jewish and even jews dont like me... | 02:20 |
| cybercom | i want to setup a ftp server on my ubuntu 8.04 machine..... so, how can configured that 1 | 02:20 |
| orudie | jrib, any path i'm trying shows an empty page | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | CritterKeeper: oh ok download the ISO | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | CritterKeeper: MD5 sum check it ideally before burning as well | 02:21 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | 02:21 |
| ubottu | To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 02:21 |
| CritterKeeper | Okay, I did that. Burned it to the CD, and it will start up okay | 02:21 |
| sebsebseb | CritterKeeper: oh you want help installing and such? | 02:21 |
| CritterKeeper | But then when it starts up, it freezes when I try to launch it | 02:21 |
| illumin8 | Tze: testing back? | 02:21 |
| f_newton | lol mib2 is still funny in parts | 02:21 |
| CritterKeeper | I want to try it out on the Live CD before installing | 02:21 |
| sebsebseb | CritterKeeper: how much RAM? | 02:21 |
| cybercom | i want to setup a ftp server on my ubuntu 8.04 machine..... so, how can configured that 1 | 02:21 |
| redvamp128 | acfrazier: depends on the bios in the laptop-- I saw a machine that whenver it went to sleep using hardy. The wireless would not come back on-- So I went into his bios and it had these options- Function(OS)/ on and off - Off and just ON -- as soon as I switched it to ON-- that fixed his issue | 02:21 |
| Tze | illumin8: hi works fine | 02:22 |
| === iron_man_ftw is now known as away_man_ftl | ||
| rww | supertanker: are you trying to use a LiveCD (i.e. not an Alternate CD) to upgrade Ubuntu? | 02:22 |
| cybercom | i want to setup a ftp server on my ubuntu 8.04 machine..... so, how can configured that 1 | 02:22 |
| f_newton | redvamp128, Ive also had that issue but with fedora | 02:22 |
| supertanker | rww, yes. | 02:22 |
| CritterKeeper | Hmm, y'know, I know how much RAM this laptop has, 'cos I upgraded it, but I don't know how much that one has....lemme go back to XP and check | 02:22 |
| plsd | I can't seem to list files in ftp without all extra info. For example I did "ls . list.txt" and I get entries like this: "drwxrwxrwx 2 1001 1001 4096 Feb 21 03:57 Temp", when I only want "Temp". I've looked through man files but can't really find anything. | 02:23 |
| EtFb | Here's a funny one. I'm on Kubuntu 8.04 with an ATI graphics card. Used to be that I couldn't suspend or hibernate, but something in the recent updates just fixed that for me with no effort on my part. Now, I can't log out! If I change my video drive to vesa instead of fglrx, I can log out, but if I leave it as is, the whole laptop crashes when I select Log Out from the menu. Advice welcome! | 02:23 |
| rww | supertanker: The documentation says that you need to use an Alternate CD ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD ), presumably because the LiveCD doesn't have a full APT repository on it (hence apt-cdrom complaining that it can't find one) | 02:23 |
| sebsebseb | CritterKeeper: if it's got more than 128MB you should be ok, but if not you got to do something | 02:23 |
| cybercom | hello anyone here............. | 02:23 |
| sebsebseb | CritterKeeper: or the CD won't even load up properly | 02:23 |
| supertanker | rww, damn. I can't download the alternate CD | 02:23 |
| CritterKeeper | No, I'm sure it has at least that, it's not *that* old a laptop | 02:23 |
| supertanker | I had to go to a hotel and get the 8.10 one. >_> | 02:23 |

| sebsebseb | CritterKeeper: yes you may have a bad CD | 02:25 |
| f_newton | CritterKeeper, that sounds like no memory left | 02:25 |
| polorix | cybercom: apparently not, no one is answering my questions and i _know_ for a fact someone knows the answer | 02:25 |
| sebsebseb | CritterKeeper: or the ISO went wrong on download | 02:25 |
| tlacaelel | I installed ubuntu 8.04.2 - alternate - i386 on a 32-bit AMD chip with an external screen. | 02:25 |
| supertanker | Ah well. Thanks, rww. I'll figure something out. | 02:25 |
| sebsebseb | CritterKeeper: do an MD5sum check of your ISO, before burning a new CD. make sure the codes match | 02:25 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | 02:25 |
| ubottu | To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 02:25 |
| supertanker | All this just to get the GIMP updated... | 02:25 |
| rww | supertanker: hmm. wait, maybe you can use a LiveCD. Do you have the right LiveCD for your architecture (i.e., a 64bit CD if you're using 64bit Ubuntu)? | 02:25 |
| redvamp128 | acfrazier: Could be releated to the Vista/Win7 issue-- the fix for that one is to disable the -- allow machine to powersave device (unsure how to do that on ubuntu) | 02:25 |
| supertanker | rww, yes. | 02:25 |
| tlacaelel | It installs, loads, shows the splash screen etc. but once it loads the external screen pops off. | 02:25 |
| tlacaelel | any ideas? | 02:25 |
| CritterKeeper | Okay, I'll try re-downloading and burning. If that doesn't work, I'll be back | 02:25 |
| CritterKeeper | Thanks for the help! | 02:25 |
| supertanker | rww, another funny thing, it says I have the latest GIMP, but I know that 2.4.x isn't the latest. Is this because I'm using an older version of Ubuntu? (8.04) | 02:25 |
| redvamp128 | CritterKeeper: One thing to note-- when buring images -- Burn them no greater that 12x | 02:26 |
| smanek | Hi, I was wondering what the recommended way to install 32 bit Firefox (and plugins) on 64-bit Intrepid Ibex would be? I found various conflicting instructions (mostly relating to older versions) online ... | 02:26 |
| CritterKeeper | Okay, will do | 02:26 |
| sebsebseb | polorix: no one that is here right now is being paid to give support, so yes someone out there will know your answer, but you got to wait for them or find them, on say ubuntu forum | 02:26 |
| tlacaelel | hey, is there any key-combination in ubuntu to make it send to an external monitor? | 02:26 |
| wolter_ | hi, does anybody here play bomberclone? | 02:26 |
| prince_jammys | plsd: try 'nlist' instead | 02:26 |
| rww | supertanker: 2.4.5 is the latest version of GIMP in the Ubuntu Hardy repositories. | 02:26 |
| supertanker | rww, so no way to get the 2.6? | 02:27 |
| plsd | prince_jammys, works like a charm, thanks! | 02:27 |
| sebsebseb | wolter_: oh you again :D probably a bomberclone that runs in wine or something similar that is native | 02:27 |
| rww | supertanker: not easily, no. hardy-backports only has 2.4.6. Intrepid has 2.6, but I guess you're having problems upgrading to that ;) | 02:27 |
| wolter_ | sebsebseb, hey, do you want to play bomberclone? | 02:27 |
| supertanker | rww, yeah. :/ | 02:27 |
| prince_jammys | plsd: cool | 02:27 |
| sebsebseb | wolter_: I don't have installed | 02:27 |
| cooldduuudde | can anyone tell me how does upgrading kernel make a difference? | 02:28 |
| supertanker | rww, I suppose I'll just start downloading an alternate CD 4KB/s at a time. | 02:28 |
| wolter_ | sebsebseb, sudo apt-get install bomberclone | 02:28 |
| tlacaelel | can anyone tell me how to switch to an external monitor? | 02:28 |
| sebsebseb | cooldduuudde: security updates and things like that | 02:28 |
| supertanker | It'll probably take about as long as snail-mailing a new CD | 02:28 |
| yowshi | where does gnome store it's panel data? | 02:28 |
| f_newton | updating cooldduuudde ? | 02:28 |
| Boffy | hey is tat normal ubuntu server seem to limit to 1024 connect to a single application? | 02:28 |
| sebsebseb | wolter_: a bit later maybe yeah, and this is not suppourt :d | 02:28 |
| cooldduuudde | f_newton it will be automatically done wen i upgrade to 9.04 | 02:28 |
| rww | supertanker: ouch. Yeah, I'm looking around and it seems that for some obscure reason, you have to use the Alternate CD. Kind of a pain, I know >.> | 02:28 |
| f_newton | update and upgrade are two different things... one prevents disaster the other creates it | 02:28 |
| supertanker | rww, I'm going to get offline in a minute, but thanks for helping. | 02:29 |
| abc2xyz | how to compile kernel | 02:29 |
| supertanker | I just wish there was an easier way to upgrade just the Gimp | 02:29 |

| Iradieh | Is there a way to see what is included in Xubuntu, because I am having a hard time choosing between Debian Xfce and Xubuntu | 02:31 |
| rewt | go with xubuntu | 02:32 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | anyone know if there are speed limitations on SAMBA? | 02:32 |
| Achoth | Hello. With one command, how would I run an application that needs to be run from another directory? | 02:32 |
| redvamp128 | Iradieh: www.xubuntu.org | 02:32 |
| Iradieh | redvamp128: Doesnt say whats included | 02:32 |
| danbhfive | Iradieh: tasksel list xubuntu-desktop ? | 02:32 |
| Iradieh | redvamp128: Do you have some of a list | 02:32 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | the ubuntu box im copying files to from this XP machine is really slow :/ | 02:32 |
| abc2xyz | Achoth: sudo application name | 02:32 |
| Iradieh | danbhfive: I dont got Xubuntu yet danbhfive | 02:32 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | a 350 MB file should be there in notime over 100Mbit I'd tink | 02:32 |
| danbhfive | Iradieh: that will work if you have ubuntu | 02:32 |
| rewt | xubuntu can have anything that ubuntu can | 02:33 |
| Iradieh | danbhfive: exactly | 02:33 |
| Iradieh | danbhfive: I dont want to install yet | 02:33 |
| RussM | Iradieh, did you look at distrowatch.org? They have info on lots of distros. Then you can come back and install Xubuntu. :) | 02:33 |
| Iradieh | RussM: lol | 02:33 |
| Iradieh | I was asking | 02:33 |
| Boffy | hey is tat normal ubuntu server seem to limit to 1024 connect to a single application???? | 02:33 |
| redvamp128 | Iradieh: I assume you want this kind of info - Xubuntu Desktop Guide <https://help.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/index.html> | 02:33 |
| Achoth | abc2xyz: But it's a script located in a folder, it needs to be executed from that folder as well. I want to add the script to autostart. | 02:33 |
| Iradieh | HOW DO I SEE what Xubuntu got installed per default as in applications and what not | 02:33 |
| Iradieh | redvamp128: no | 02:33 |
| Iradieh | I take it Xubuntu is pretty bloated, which is why I am picking between Xubuntu and Debian FTP-install | 02:33 |

(500=NTFS | 250=mac journaled) | 02:34 |
| abc2xyz | Achoth: sorry no idea about autostart | 02:34 |
| rww | Daft_Punk: Ubuntu (as in the one on-topic for this channel) doesn't make food or drinks. Some other companies make drinks named Ubuntu, but are not connected to us at all. | 02:34 |
| fearful | Iradieh, oh sorry I think in the LiveCD theres some information on that | 02:34 |
| danbhfive | Iradieh: I suspect that if care about the individual packages, you should just go with debian | 02:34 |
| Daft_Punk | rww, darn, ok | 02:34 |
| Achoth | Daft_Punk: It's an operating system, not a brand. There is a cola called Ubuntu though (not related to Ubuntu Linux). | 02:35 |
| tlacaelel | how to send ubuntu to an external monitor? | 02:35 |
| Achoth | abc2xyz: Alright thanks anyways | 02:35 |

| Achoth | Daft_Punk: Ah yeah, Ubuntu.com probably | 02:36 |
| rww | Daft_Punk: If it's on http://store.canonical.com/ , it's this Ubuntu. Otherwise, it's someone else who picked up the ubuntu-as-in-philosophy name and used it. | 02:36 |

| Daft_Punk | acfrazier, what is your wireless problem? | 02:37 |
| plsd | prince_jammys, do you also know how to ignore certain filetype with nlist? Say I want to ignore all ending with .srt. "nlist -I *.srt . list.txt" gives me "usage: nlist remote-directory local-file" | 02:37 |
| rww | Daft_Punk: "Ubuntu" is trademarked, yes. Trademarks are industry-specific. | 02:37 |
| prince_jammys | plsd: i don't know. check in 'man ftp'. the commands are all listed there | 02:38 |
| shausam27 | when the system boots it errors half way and said fence_tool waiting for cmanto startrror 2it error 2trold how do i repair this when it boots the 3D and compiz do not work | 02:38 |
| acfrazier | Daft_Punk: After letting comp sit for a while, move mouse to wake up from blackscreen, wifi is dead, reboot is temp fix, then dies in5-7 min | 02:38 |
| prince_jammys | plsd: ftp is pretty primitive. there may not be such a command | 02:39 |

| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||

| f_newton | acfrazier, what wifi card do you have ? | 02:40 |
| Daft_Punk | acfrazier, sounds like a glitch with the wireless driver, since your wireless doesnt work in 8.04 it might be the driver was just recently made for 8.10 or included wtih 8.10 and might not be 100% | 02:40 |
| webterror | do you know a packages that is able to sleep the computer of notebook? it wasn't the gnome program. which is console command. | 02:40 |
| operationhavok1 | ah i know what it is | 02:40 |
| plsd | prince_jammys, yeah I checked man and didn't see anything there so you may be right about that. thanks though! | 02:40 |
| mbrigdan | rww: ok, thanks, time to figure out what sha my app uses | 02:40 |
| webterror | what is it? | 02:40 |

| rww | Daft_Punk: some of them do, some of them don't. | 02:41 |
| f_newton | lately Daft_Punk that has been the case | 02:41 |
| operationhavok1 | mine did, but only because it was the new many acer | 02:41 |

| rww | I have an rtl8187 on my Asus P5K-E/WifiAP, and it dies all the time >.> | 02:42 |
| Daft_Punk | well with my wireless, since i upgraded to 8.10 it would cut out all the time, but i changed encryption from WPA/WPA2 to WEP and it works more stable now, but signal varies | 02:42 |
| jrib | orudie: yes | 02:42 |
| Daft_Punk | i have intel wireless a/b/g | 02:42 |

| jrib | orudie: so this isn't even ubuntu then? | 02:43 |
| f_newton | Daft_Punk, I use a zd usb dongle and my lappy uses an intel 3945abg and they both work great | 02:43 |
| rww | I'm using Virtualbox on a Windows host with an Ubuntu guest, and installed the Virtualbox Guest Additions into Ubuntu. When Ubuntu gets a kernel upgrade, will I have to reinstall the guest additions, or will they get applied to the new kernel automatically? | 02:43 |
| Daft_Punk | f_newton, mine worked great in hardy... since the upgrade it went poo | 02:43 |
| orudie | jrib, nope :( but i have a ubuntu server | 02:43 |
| orudie | jrib, i bought a vps with ubuntu 8.10 server | 02:43 |
| Daft_Punk | i have xtreme N adapter i could try, but last time i checked, no linux support and ndiswrap didnt help | 02:43 |
| f_newton | lol I havent used ubuntu since it was first released but I actually like 8.10 | 02:43 |
| orudie | jrib, where things are a lot easier | 02:43 |

| abc2xyz | sebsebseb: its done using C but how to join the team? | 02:58 |
| tlacaelel | so it's better to install ubuntu onto it's own partition & keep media etc. on a different partition | 02:58 |

| Iceman_B^Ltop | what does a pink filename signify when I ls a dir in putty ? | 03:29 |
| RussM | tsrk, Just means that a process hasn't retrieved the exit status of a child process. If you get a lot of them, then it could be a problem (child process ID can't be reused until the exit status is cleared from the process table) but it's not likely that big a deal otherwise. | 03:29 |

| kindofabuzz | ? | 03:32 |
| rww | Dozzzie: "cp" in Linux terminology is the copy file command. | 03:32 |
| kindofabuzz | cp was a unix command way before windows used it | 03:33 |
| Dozzzie | rww do you have cp? | 03:33 |
| rww | Dozzzie: What do you mean by "cp? | 03:33 |
| Dozzzie | what else should i mean? | 03:34 |
| tsrk | RussM, how can zombie processes disappear? Does the fact that it's gone mean that it was taken care of cleanly? | 03:34 |
| rww | Dozzzie: I don't know. I found it odd that you were asking me if I have the "copy file" command (since most GNU/Linux computers do), so I was checking I understood you correctly. | 03:35 |
| a2z | lol cp | 03:36 |
| rww | Dozzzie: do I? or do you mean something else? | 03:36 |
| kindofabuzz | not most, all | 03:36 |
| RussM | Either the parent read the status, or the parent itself exited. Unparented processes are inherited by "init", and init periodically reaps (collects status) from its dead children. | 03:36 |

| joe-mac | o it's that cute little compiz thing | 03:46 |

| redvamp128 | Millertime_018: if it is freezing then - going into normal desktop then changing the options and turning compiz back on. | 03:48 |

| joe-mac | Millertime_018: there's a couple ways, what you want to do most likely is hit ESC key on boot at the grub menu and then choose the rescue option | 03:50 |
| Millertime_018 | joe-mac: wait! | 03:50 |
| joe-mac | you will be given a root prompt with no password, at which point you type su - $YOURUSERNAME | 03:50 |

| RussM | Orochium, I don't have a netfinity to try it on, but in the past, if I was installing on a box and it had problems seeing the cdrom, there were some boot parameters that were usefull. | 04:12 |

| joe-mac | Fallen[qa]: is this a physical switch or a function key? is there a corresponding LED omn the LED panel? | 04:15 |
| Fallen[qa] | joe-mac; physical switch and I dont think it is, not sure if their is one. Im on a Dell XPS laptop | 04:16 |
| RussM | Orochium, Yes, select your language, then hit f6, and add "all_generic_ide" in there, probably before "quiet" would be good. | 04:16 |
| [ka]killer | wrong button | 04:16 |
| joe-mac | Fallen[qa]: in a terminal type sudo tail -f /var/log/messages | 04:17 |
| joe-mac | leave it open | 04:17 |

| RussM | Orochium, If that doesn't work, I see a post by someone in the forums that suggested "acpi=force" when installing 8.04 - maybe that's something that would help? The post is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=818210 | 04:18 |
| joe-mac | ctrl-c will stop tail -f | 04:18 |

| Orochium | I boot...hilight Install Ubuntu server...press F6...at the end of the line, I add "break=top" | 04:21 |
| sebsebseb | Stepan1: not properly no | 04:21 |
| Orochium | which does NOTHING | 04:21 |
| sebsebseb | Stepan1: a viewer, but not a server | 04:21 |
| Orochium | then after it gets into the installer, where it sets up the keyboard and region and layout | 04:21 |
| _VIM_ | x11vnc is good | 04:21 |
| sebsebseb | Stepan1: also VNC needs to be tunneld over SSH to be secure, when it's being done over net | 04:21 |
| Orochium | just before cdrom I'm able to alt + F2 to activate the terminal | 04:21 |
| sebsebseb | _VIM_: yeah and insecure unless tunneled over SSH | 04:21 |
| Orochium | typing modprobe Ide_generic there gives me a FATAL: Not found | 04:22 |

| joe-mac | flip the switch and just wait, you should def see something new scroll by | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | _VIM_: well better safe than sorry, as the saying goes | 04:23 |
| Orochium | RussM: what did you have to do...try to be specific, maybe I'm missing a step people take for granted | 04:23 |

| ^Einstein | x-ip: are you suggesting I find a newer version of snd_hda_intel? | 04:54 |
| x-ip | ^Einstein: great! seems to be a module snd-hda-intel problem | 04:54 |
| x-ip | ^Einstein: exactly! | 04:54 |
| ^Einstein | x-ip: afaik, I'm using the latest version. :-\ | 04:55 |
| ^Einstein | one sec, let me check lsmod | 04:55 |
| x-ip | ^Einstein: nop, there are newer kernel versions | 04:55 |
| x-ip | well, i'm not sure that in newer kernel versions there is a patch for that module, or if it was fixed this problem | 04:56 |
| x-ip | as i found there is a lot of ppl with ur soundcard having problems | 04:56 |
| pluckypigeon | it seems to me that a lot of intel hardware doesn't work with ubuntu anymore | 04:57 |
| ^Einstein | x-ip: exactly. And so many that there's even documentation that's worked for other people, such as options=6stack-digital in the alsa config files... a lot of that just borked it even more. | 04:58 |
| x-ip | ^Einstein: i think the best u can do is to get a newer kernel | 04:58 |
| x-ip | if its an ubuntu precompiled .deb package, better | 04:58 |
| TruthTaco | how do i format a SD card in linux | 04:58 |
| x-ip | and that means u'll have to fetch it from jaunty jackalope repositories | 04:59 |
| x-ip | as u have the latest kernel vs from intrepid | 04:59 |
| x-ip | TruthTaco: mkfs. | 04:59 |

| ^Einstein | evanbd: what problem are you having? is it not recognizing the disk on boot at all? | 05:07 |
| evanbd | It boots, shows the menu. I pick english, select the "try xubuntu" option. It displays a line of text about ACPI, then another about "not responding" then the screen goes black. | 05:08 |

| lowlycoder | ^Einstein: let's talk more | 05:18 |
| evanbd | ^Einstein Yep. Also tried acpi=force. Also also tried noapic and irqpoll options. | 05:18 |
| plcTowlie | Myst, usually that can easily be done through your router | 05:18 |
| lowlycoder | ^Einstein: is gstreamer-plugin-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly what I'm after, or something else? | 05:18 |
| Simkin | ^Einstein: but why isn't it there by default? | 05:18 |
| Myst_ | plcTowlie, the linux server is acting as my firewall/Router | 05:18 |
| ^Einstein | lowlycoder: yeah, those include the proprietary codecs you're looking for. | 05:18 |
| Simkin | ^Einstein: is there a way to install the package from a cd? | 05:18 |
| ^Einstein | Simkin: I don't beleive openSSH is on the liveCD | 05:19 |

| ^Einstein | Simkin: but if you're talking to me on IRC, then you can just download the .deb and put it on your Ubuntu box if you're not already on it. | 05:19 |

| evanbd | histo: use the "alternate" cd image | 05:21 |
| Simkin | be nice if i could ssh into it to see if it's working | 05:21 |
| histo | evanbd: and? its not an option on the 8.04 cd | 05:21 |
| Simkin | ^Einstein: ssh is one of those "must have" tools | 05:21 |
| Simkin | i find it weird it is not part of the default instlal! | 05:21 |
| ^Einstein | Simkin: it is for servers, and the ssh client is installed by default iirc, but the openssh server is actually a liability on most standard desktops. | 05:22 |
| dicedealer | hi could somebody tell me how to exit the X Windows server so i can log in as root please? | 05:22 |
| evanbd | histo: you're using the "alternate" cd not the "desktop" one? | 05:22 |
| ^Einstein | Simkin: unless your computer downstairs is without ethernet, USB, or CD ports/drives, you can get it on there just fine, as a .deb or whatever | 05:23 |
| Myst_ | plcTowlie, sweet that was exactly what i was looking for | 05:23 |
| evanbd | dicedealer: that's probably a bad idea :) | 05:23 |
| histo | evanbd: yes | 05:23 |
| Simkin | ^Einstein: it doesn't have to be running by default, just installed by default. | 05:23 |
| histo | evanbd: i even tried hitting alt+F4 its not there on 8.04.1 | 05:23 |
| dicedealer | i need to log in as root so i can install the latest nvidia drivers | 05:23 |
| Simkin | ^Einstein: isn't it possible to install it and not set it to any run level? | 05:23 |
| histo | evanbd: err F4 sry. To pull up the modes menu | 05:23 |
| dicedealer | but i dont know how to exit the GUI | 05:23 |
| evanbd | histo :/ I thought it was. No idea then. | 05:23 |
| ^Einstein | dicedealer: sudo apt-get will work fine. Try man apt-get to learn more. | 05:23 |
| histo | evanbd: Me too. I'm downloading 8.10 alternate now | 05:23 |
| ubd | who can help me to forward a port | 05:24 |
| evanbd | dicedealer: in general, anything you could do by logging in as root can be done with sudo more safely. | 05:24 |
| histo | evanbd: i think its missing on 8.04.1 but may be present on 8.04 alternate | 05:24 |
| dicedealer | when i tried running the autoinstaller with sudo for the drivers, it told me i must exit X windows before installing | 05:25 |
| dicedealer | does anybody know how i can log in as root please? im having trouble figuring out booting to command line | 05:26 |
| ^Einstein | dicedealer: your package manager, Synaptic, should handle all that for you. Download and install the packages and then hit control-alt-backspace or restart to reset your X server session. | 05:27 |
| ReAn | you dont | 05:27 |
| [ka]killer | you shouldnt need root | 05:27 |
| ReAn | you log in as a user in an administrative role and sudo to do root commands | 05:27 |
| [ka]killer | or to be logged in as root | 05:27 |
| [ka]killer | yeah just use sudo | 05:27 |
| dicedealer | i tried that already it told me i must be logged in as root and that i must exit X before running the installer | 05:27 |
| [ka]killer | what are you trying to install? | 05:28 |
| dicedealer | latest nvidia drivers | 05:28 |
| Flannel | dicedealer: They aren't familiar with the way Ubuntu does things. You do not need to be root, merely use sudo. | 05:28 |
| travisat | dicedealer: in command line sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 05:28 |
| ^Einstein | dicedealer: ok then, drop to the root shell using the recovery option that exists by default in your GRUB boot menu. | 05:28 |
| dicedealer | *sighs* i have already tried using sudo | 05:28 |
| Flannel | dicedealer: It works fine with sudo. Just be sure you stop X | 05:28 |
| dicedealer | thats what im trying to figure out what to do... how do i stop X? | 05:29 |
| Flannel | dicedealer: (ctrl-alt-f1 then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop) | 05:29 |
| evanbd | dicedealer: ctrl + alt + Fn will get you a text-mode login prompt. Login there *as your normal user*, then shut down the X server manually. | 05:29 |
| travisat | dicedealer: also I had lots of problems with booting in a regular command line and had to hack the rc2 to stop gdm from starting then boot recovery then init 2 | 05:29 |
| dicedealer | and then to restart by typing start-x? | 05:29 |

| ubuntu_fan | any ideas please? | 05:31 |
| Flannel | !lamp | delly | 05:31 |
| ubottu | delly: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 05:31 |
| Flannel | ubuntu_fan: #ubuntu-offtopic would be an appropriate place to ask that; this channel is for support. | 05:31 |
| dicedealer | oooh cool... when i did ctrl alt f1, it gave me a terminal log in full screen | 05:31 |

| evanbd | ^Einstein Any other boot options worth trying? Or other ideas? | 05:36 |
| plcTowlie | Nimble, I havnt tried it myself, but there's quite a few discussions about the state of ventrilo in wine. The most recent thing I've seen is that it works, but only with certain speech codecs, and push to talk only works when your window is the focus | 05:36 |

| f_newton | oh lol sorry | 06:07 |
| slide | whatever comes with ubuntu | 06:07 |
| eepberries | redvamp128: actually i looked there, but it's screwy. for one thing, shouldn't there be different default apps for music and video? | 06:08 |
| eepberries | also, the default it shows there is not the program that loads when i open a video file | 06:08 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | I have a bootable ubuntu usb stick and i only have 1gig. I was wondering if I wanna install programs and things if I can install them maybe on a different flash drive, maybe have 1 flash drive which is my OS and another one to save files on? | 06:08 |
| b1n42y | eepberries: you can also install ubuntu tweak | 06:08 |

| maxagaz | is it possible (and easy) to log at the same time on a ldap account and on a local account ? | 06:09 |
| slide | crdlb, normal not extra | 06:09 |
| taylor04 | any ideas to go about it? got the b43 driver, my network card can pick up my router through terminal, but when i disconnect and try to activate wireless thru network manager i get nothing | 06:09 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | Anyone? | 06:09 |
| redvamp128 | Badboy_: try this page [ubuntu] file in the trash, not in the gksudo nautilus trash, can't delete it! - Ubuntu Forums <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813861> | 06:10 |
| crdlb | slide: basically the same thing, just different plugins enabled | 06:10 |
| Badboy_ | Thanks crdlb | 06:10 |
| Badboy_ | and thanks redvamp128 | 06:10 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: i would guess you need to setup a link .. not sure how though | 06:11 |
| CentHOGG | taylor04: ok, what do you see in the GUI network config? the NIC? | 06:11 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: i think its called sym link (symbolic) | 06:11 |
| taylor04 | centhogg: nic? sorry im pretty new to ubuntu | 06:12 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | @b1n42y: Thats what I was thinking. But how would I install a program from lets say Synaptic or something onto another storage device? | 06:12 |
| CentHOGG | taylor04: the wireless adapter | 06:12 |
| plcTowlie | nic = network interface card | 06:12 |
| woody86 | does anyone know if there's an easy way to make the calender week in Ubuntu start on Monday instead of Sunday? | 06:12 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | @b1n42y: So lets say I wanted to install VLC player, but not install it on the stick that has my OS but wanna install it on another 1gig flash drive that I have, but leave that flash drive connected, how would I go about doing that? | 06:13 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: im guessing if you set the link up it will store it in wherever you set the link too, maybe even add it to a config file also, no idea how though, google if no answers come here after youve waited for a bit | 06:13 |
| taylor04 | oh let me try this | 06:13 |
| shavin | i might be just imagining it, but i think the sound of my songs are lower in quality when i play them on ubuntu as compared to vista. Can something be dome regarding this? | 06:14 |
| === \kira is now known as stealth_tty1 | ||
| plcTowlie | ma5t3rw1tt: you can get a much bigger usb drive for a pretty reasonable price these days. might be worth the money to not have to struggle with that issue | 06:14 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: also it would be the bin file that you are linking, not sure if ubuntu will like that | 06:15 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | p1cTowlie: Well at the moment I am kinda low on money, thats why I am trying what resources I have at the moment | 06:15 |
| b1n42y | plcTowlie: AGREES | 06:15 |
| Iron_Chef | hi, | 06:15 |
| Iron_Chef | where do I change the brown screen when X starts up to something else? | 06:15 |
| Iron_Chef | (not the login screen, just the brown blank screen) | 06:15 |
| taylor04 | so on the network device it was on lo, i switched it to wlan0 and it says not available, i switch it to wlan0 avahi and it gives me some feedback | 06:15 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | b1n42y: Do you have any idea on how I would download something onto another storage device from synaptic? | 06:16 |
| === away_man_ftl is now known as iron_man_ftw | ||
| tlacaelel | I installed 8.10 alternate i386, and it installed just fine. But the screen is all chopped up. Any ideas? | 06:16 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: also maybe it involves setting up a seperate partion on that othe usb and calling it \bin | 06:16 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | b1n42y: So instead of it downloading like where it normally goes, it would be elsewhere? | 06:16 |

| tlacaelel | b1n42y: do you have experience with this? | 06:17 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: i know what your talking about, i have been giving you ideas on what to search for on google as noone here seems to know at the moment | 06:17 |
| taylor04 | CentHOGG:so on the network device it was on lo, i switched it to wlan0 and it says not available, i switch it to wlan0 avahi and it gives me some feedback | 06:17 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | b1n42y: And yes your ideas are helpin, just trying to figure this out. I am sure something so simple as this can b done | 06:18 |
| Iron_Chef | redvamp128, i'd rather just change the relevant config file, than install a 3rd party app (looks good though) | 06:18 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: thats why i suggested the bin partition | 06:18 |
| taylor04 | anyone got any ideas on how to go about setting up my wireless? | 06:19 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: ubuntu might handle the rest automatically | 06:19 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | b1n42y: would that screw up my bootable OS from the usb stick it boots from? | 06:19 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: i would assume so without any additionaly tweaks | 06:19 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | hmmmmm this is so simple but yet a hard answer :P | 06:20 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: i was thinking from scratch approach | 06:20 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | b1n42y: I rather not have to go through setting all this up again. I booted into Windows at the moment. I am just trying to figure things out | 06:21 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: any file (folder) such as bin where programs are kept can have its own partition so during install ... would be easiest without knowledge of additional tweaks needed | 06:21 |

| ma5t3rw1tt | Anyway I'll search around on google & the forums | 06:22 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | Thanks!!!! | 06:22 |
| eepberries | no offense but why not just buy a bigger flash drive | 06:22 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: no probs sorry couldnt help more | 06:23 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | eepberries: Waiting 4 some money 2 come in firstly. | 06:23 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | eepberries: Thinking just buying a bigger flash drive so I can have something nice and portable. THE POWER OF LINUX IN THE PALM OF MY PORTABLE DRIVE lol | 06:23 |
| eepberries | do you have anything like an ipod | 06:23 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | eepberries: iPod Touch is all I have | 06:24 |
| eepberries | do you use it? | 06:24 |
| b1n42y | ma5t3rw1tt: you can pickup 16gb for 49 AUD, but yeah i know whats its like when cash no ere, ere no cash | 06:24 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | eepberries: iPod Touch is different cause it don't allow you to access the filesystem without jailbreaking it | 06:24 |

| eper3z | can any1 help me with a dual screen issue? | 06:25 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | eepberries: Even then you can't use it as a hard drive or boot anything because its designed different | 06:25 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | eepberries: Its not like your normal iPods out there, its different for a reason. | 06:25 |
| eepberries | well anyway, you can get 4gig flash drives for like 10 to 15 dollars | 06:26 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | eepberries: Yeah, I hope here soon I'll be getting my tax return, then I'll be getting some :D | 06:26 |
| eepberries | ma5t3rw1tt: why can't you install ubuntu on your hard drive though? | 06:27 |

| homeskill | how can i add songs to my 2nd generation ipod nano with ubuntu? | 06:27 |
| eepberries | TruthTaco: you select a KDE session at the login menu | 06:27 |
| eepberries | so if you want to use it, log out, then select KDE under sessions at the login menu | 06:28 |
| TruthTaco | well i tried that once, but it still looked exactly like gnome | 06:28 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | eepberries: That way I can learn linux more and have something portable at the sametime | 06:28 |
| eepberries | TruthTaco: what did you select | 06:28 |
| TruthTaco | the only one that said KDE | 06:28 |
| eepberries | well i don't know | 06:28 |

| eepberries | tlacaelel: have you ever tried using ubuntu before? | 06:31 |
| eepberries | with this same computer i mean | 06:31 |
| Huufarted | nevermind, I found my own answer. I'm half retarded, that's all. The other half ain't none too smart, either. | 06:32 |
| tlacaelel | no... I installed 8.04 and it worked just fine... but my laptop's backlight is out so I'm trying to get it to work with an external monitor. | 06:32 |
| eepberries | so you used 8.04 with the same computer before and it worked fine? | 06:32 |
| tlacaelel | I figured 8.10 might detect the external monitor for me | 06:32 |
| tlacaelel | eepberries: yes | 06:32 |
| eepberries | is it jus the external monitor that's looking weird? | 06:32 |
| eper3z | im having monitor issues as well! | 06:32 |
| eper3z | :x | 06:33 |
| tlacaelel | both the 86 | 06:33 |
| eepberries | so both the laptop monitor and the external are looking weird/ | 06:33 |
| NimbleRabit | fixed my vent problem =D | 06:33 |
| eepberries | ? | 06:33 |
| tlacaelel | eepberries: it isn't even sending it to the external monitor. I wish it would, so I could see what's going on without peering into the laptop screen with a flashlight, lol. | 06:33 |
| tlacaelel | eepberries: 8.04 wouldn't send it to the external monitor either | 06:34 |
| === am4zin is now known as amazin | ||
| eepberries | well yeah, dual monitoring is tricky in linux | 06:34 |
| eepberries | i don't really know anything about that myself, but you have to go out of your way to do it | 06:34 |
| eepberries | but anyway, i guess it could be a driver issue | 06:34 |
| tlacaelel | eepberries: issok. is there a way to ssh into the ubuntu machine to try and fix settings from my osx machine? | 06:34 |
| eepberries | yeah | 06:35 |
| eepberries | hang on a sec | 06:35 |
| hitman1985 | x-ip: alright, that didnt work :) now not even vista boots :) | 06:35 |
| tlacaelel | do I need the ubuntu machine's ip address? I wonder how to get that without a working screen... | 06:35 |
| eepberries | tlacaelel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto | 06:35 |
| eepberries | read that first of all | 06:35 |
| eepberries | i think that should have all the info you need | 06:35 |
| eepberries | it's really easy though | 06:36 |
| tlacaelel | thx!! :D | 06:36 |
| x-ip | hitman1985: it has to be fixed | 06:36 |
| x-ip | hitman1985: surely u did something wrong | 06:36 |
| eepberries | but basically | 06:36 |
| hitman1985 | x-ip: first thing that is wrong is ubuntu not automaticly creating that like in 8.04 if that was there, i wouldnt be stuck | 06:37 |
| eepberries | i think all you'll have to do is install openenssh-server then i think you don't really have to do anything after that | 06:37 |
| x-ip | hitman1985: it creates that automatically :S | 06:37 |
| x-ip | surely u first installed ubuntu and then vista, right ?! | 06:37 |
| eepberries | aside from logging into the ubuntu computer using its local ip address | 06:37 |
| hitman1985 | x-ip: no vista then ubuntu | 06:37 |
| x-ip | hmm .... | 06:38 |
| kreino | redvamp128, help, i have made changes in my synaptic server from default server to oscc server, but it didnt work n still downloading from default server? how come? | 06:38 |
| eepberries | kreino: what are you trying to do | 06:39 |
| hitman1985 | x-ip: i was tryin to assign / to the ext3 partition of ubuntu, then swap is swap of corse and the vista partition is now set as not used, but if i enable mount point windows, nothing can be written ... error | 06:39 |
| ZeZu | when i copy a file to a usb drive with X it stops and complains about an IO error after its copied a good ammount | 06:39 |
| ZeZu | if i copy it via cli, i have no trouble, whats with that ? | 06:39 |
| x-ip | hitman1985: :S | 06:40 |
| kreino | eepberries, i try to change download server... in my synaptic source | 06:40 |
| hitman1985 | x-ip: that isnt funny :( | 06:40 |
| ZeZu | it also removes the disk from the system as if it doesn't exist | 06:40 |
| eepberries | download what server | 06:40 |
| x-ip | hitman1985: hmmm i cannot guide u to fix that ... u need someone with knowledge to fix it | 06:40 |
| x-ip | if u want i can try to fix it by ssh | 06:41 |
| hitman1985 | x-ip: i guess i can just kiss my vista partition good bye and just format the whole deal :( | 06:41 |
| x-ip | thats mean access to ur machine with security shell | 06:41 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: are you not able to run windows? | 06:41 |
| x-ip | hitman1985: :( | 06:42 |
| hitman1985 | i m not able to run anything anymore | 06:42 |
| kreino | em.. by default.. when i add something software.. it will be downloaded from default server...ubuntu intpred.. but i hacve made change into OSCC server... but i woldnt be? | 06:42 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: so you can't load ubutun or anything? | 06:42 |
| kreino | eepberries, em.. by default.. when i add something software.. it will be downloaded from default server...ubuntu intpred.. but i hacve made change into OSCC server... but i woldnt be? | 06:42 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: only via live session | 06:42 |
| x-ip | hitman1985: i'm sorry :S, 'boot problems' needs some knowledge to be fixed | 06:42 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: what did you do to screw things up? | 06:43 |
| kreino | eepberries, it still downloads from default server , not OSCC server..i dont know how to do yet | 06:43 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: installed ubuntu i guess | 06:43 |
| eepberries | kreino: sorry i don't know anything about that | 06:43 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: well you first installed ubuntu then windows vista right? | 06:43 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: i installed just like always and it just didnt boot :( | 06:43 |
| eepberries | were you ever able to run anything after installing vista? | 06:43 |
| hitman1985 | were yeah | 06:43 |
| hitman1985 | but i want to have dual boot | 06:43 |
| eepberries | so you can load vista but not ubuntu? | 06:44 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: nothing loads anymore :) | 06:44 |
| eepberries | and that happened after installing vista right? | 06:44 |
| brrrrrradical | could somebody please help me set up file sharing between my ubuntu desktop and my wireless xp laptop ? | 06:45 |
| illumin8_ | you can manage the disk while vista is installed, shrink its size down and install ubuntu on the largest contiguious area. | 06:45 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: the only thing vista dvd shows during "attempt" to repair boot part of vista, is that my 3rd hdd supposely has the bootpartition and doesnt fix it | 06:45 |
| kreino | eepberries, i have updated my ubuntu.. from kernel ...11 to kernel ...27, but on bootscreen menu, the old kernel still be shown.. how to delete it from that menulist? | 06:45 |
| eepberries | kreino: sorry i don't know | 06:45 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: try loading the ubuntu setup and see what partitions it recognizes | 06:46 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: it recognizes : | 06:46 |
| illumin8_ | kreino, edit grub and change whats there, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:46 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: i wouldn't be terribly surprised if reinstalling ubuntu (without deleting or messing with the vista partitions) fixed the problem | 06:46 |
| eepberries | ubuntu should be default install grub and configure it to load windows | 06:47 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: should, but isnt, heres the list : | 06:47 |
| kreino | ok in try illumin8 | 06:47 |
| Nytrix | _g, test | 06:47 |
| illumin8_ | kreino, whats listed after title is simply that, it can be altered to reflect the new kernel. | 06:47 |
| Nytrix | _GoRDoN_, test | 06:47 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: gimme 5 mins , gonna go back to setup and write them down to make sure :) | 06:48 |
| illumin8_ | hitman1985, did you see my previous message on the proper way to install vista and ubuntu? | 06:48 |
| DMZ_ | hi | 06:49 |
| DMZ_ | iam a windows user and thinking of switching to ubuntu | 06:49 |
| kreino | illumin8, may i know, what differences between kernel...7 and kernel...11? | 06:49 |
| DMZ_ | how is it better than windows? | 06:49 |
| eepberries | DMZ_: it isn't | 06:49 |
| eepberries | it's an alternative | 06:50 |
| illumin8_ | kreino, i am not fimilar with the advances in kernels sorry, but generally they include a better ability to process data. | 06:50 |
| eepberries | both have their strong point and weaknesses | 06:50 |
| b1n42y | DMZ_: google linux vs windwos | 06:50 |
| kreino | oh i c.. illumin8 | 06:50 |
| Incarus | DMZ_, no viruses, secure | 06:50 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, there are many reasons to move to linux from windows, one being that its cost is much more reasonable (where applicabale) | 06:51 |
| b1n42y | eepberries: its better in so many ways .. cant believe you said its an alternative | 06:51 |
| eepberries | oh please | 06:51 |
| eepberries | it's just an OS | 06:51 |
| DMZ_ | Incarus: but i can make my windows that secure but there are alot of stuff that i can do under windows that i can't under linux | 06:51 |
| eepberries | just like xp, vista, mac os, and unix | 06:51 |
| eepberries | they all have strong point and weaknesses | 06:52 |
| brrrrrradical | yay the network's working :D | 06:52 |
| xiroV | Anyone had problems with the ubuntushop lately? | 06:52 |
| kreino | illumin8, i hav made change in my synaptic source server... from default to http://mirror.oscc.org.my/ubuntu/.... but when i add software at add/remove software, it doesnt work.. still download from the default server? | 06:52 |
| eepberries | DMZ_: one of the main advantages of linux is that it's extremely customizable, though at the same time it can make using linux a bit harder | 06:52 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, you actually cant make your windows as secure as linux, because the operating system itself is diffirent. along with the fact there are more windows users so its exploted more often. | 06:52 |
| brrrrrradical | umm quick question ... maybe not relevant to this channel but hopefully someone might know... why is it that when i try to access my lappy on win7 it asks for a username and pass ... but on ubuntu it connected automatically? | 06:54 |
| DMZ_ | but i use alot of applications under windows that i can't find under linux even if i found some i find it really complicated to compile tar balls can't it be as easy as windows? | 06:54 |
| b1n42y | eepberries: how about security, malware, spyware, trojans, worms, cost, open source free software, abillity to run must have windows applications under wine or emulate windows from within linux etc etc etc | 06:54 |
| Incarus | brrrrrradical, yes | 06:54 |
| xiroV | When i make an order in the ubuntu shop, some days later, i get a mail that says that my order will be refunded.. Anyone knows why? | 06:54 |
| TruthTaco | how do i uninstall something i installed manually (from tarball) | 06:54 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, there are helper tools in linux that would allow a less difficult change over, one for example would be wine. | 06:54 |
| Incarus | brrrrrradical, you can change this setting in ubuntu | 06:54 |
| eepberries | b1n42y: how about stop being such a fanboy | 06:54 |
| brrrrrradical | Incarus: i want to change it in win7! | 06:54 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, again, they are not flawless and would present thier own challanges. | 06:54 |
| Incarus | brrrrrradical, oh, not in ubuntu chat | 06:55 |
| brrrrrradical | Incarus: i live in the middle of nowhere ... i dont need a username and pass | 06:55 |
| b1n42y | eepberries: not a fanboy just being factual | 06:55 |
| DMZ_ | illumin8: but i just couldn't install a single tarballs after searching for all types of help everywhere | 06:55 |
| eepberries | please | 06:55 |
| brrrrrradical | Incarus: is there a chat u know off hand related to win7 or windows networking? | 06:55 |
| xTheGoat121x | Hi all... I've just installed Intrepid for the first time on my laptop... with previous versions, I was able to use my left/right scroll as back/forward in Firefox... but I can't figure out how to do that in Intrepid | 06:55 |
| b1n42y | anyway this isnt the place like i said google linux vs windows | 06:55 |
| eepberries | to claim that viruses and maleware are a serious threat to a half-intelligent windows user is like saying you'll get cancer from smoking a single cigarette | 06:55 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, just like learning to use windows, you would need to learn proper methods here in linux. as i said, each has challanges. | 06:56 |
| Incarus | brrrrrradical, http://www.lockergnome.com/windows/2007/02/20/configure-vista-for-automatic-logon/ | 06:56 |
| eepberries | yes, linux is generally more secure, but at the same time it has a much steeper learning curve, is a bit more finnicky, and takes more effort to use | 06:56 |
| eepberries | that's not to say it isn't worth it though | 06:56 |
| brrrrrradical | Incarus: thanks ... i will reboot and try ... god bless u :P | 06:56 |
| TruthTaco | how do i uninstall something i installed via tarball? | 06:56 |
| eepberries | but linux is by no means a perfect operating system | 06:56 |
| illumin8_ | yet :) | 06:56 |
| DMZ_ | illumin8: but just a month ago what pissed me off what a computer science friend of mine couldn't install a tar ball as well plus it doesn't recognize my ntfs backup drive | 06:56 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: sda, sda1 - ntfs , sda5 - ext3, sda6 - swap | 06:57 |
| TruthTaco | linux is far from perfect | 06:57 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: have you tried reinstalling ubuntu? | 06:57 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: sdb, sdb1 - ntfs ; sdc, adc1 - ntfs | 06:57 |
| b1n42y | eepberries: thats just when your new to it... anyway ... agrees on its not perfect | 06:57 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: have you tried reinstalling ubuntu? | 06:57 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: yea it dont change a thing | 06:57 |
| Incarus | eepberries, linux is near perfect, the cia + fbi, nasa, nsa ... use it | 06:57 |
| eepberries | Incarus: yeah sure, it's near perfect for servers | 06:57 |
| eepberries | but the year of linux on the desktop is many, many years away | 06:58 |
| Incarus | eepberries, no, decryption, cracking, sniffing | 06:58 |
| b1n42y | eepberries: roflmao | 06:58 |
| eepberries | aka stuff that you don't need a gui for | 06:58 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, i assume you used ubuntu durring your complications, note that here in ubuntu .deb packages are closer designed to work well in this environment. | 06:58 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: it looks to me like the boot stuff is way off the hook | 06:58 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: have you tried reinstalling ubuntu since this happened or not | 06:58 |
| Incarus | eepberries, and is mac better?# | 06:58 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, but yes. not everything will go as you plan in linux without digging for the right methods, and in some cases making the methods yourself. | 06:58 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: yes, i ve tried multiple times, the only thing the windows repair assistant can unveil is that supposely my data hdd has the bootmanager installed but not any other partition | 06:59 |
| DMZ_ | illumin8: but the thing is that i can't find the application i need to use in the application manager so i tend to download tarballs which is a bombball | 06:59 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: the problem is that windows installation has a nasty habit of screwing things up when you're trying to dual boot | 06:59 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: with 8.04 never was an issue :( | 07:00 |
| === rww is now known as robertwall | ||
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, if you dont mind me asking what applciation did you have problems with? | 07:00 |
| darph | hi, i can't change file permissions with sudo chmod or ownership with sudo chown | 07:00 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: it has nothing to do with ubuntu, it has to do with windows installation installing its own boot loader | 07:00 |
| DMZ_ | illumin8: vlc but under mandriva not ubuntu really | 07:00 |
| DMZ_ | illumin8: and kismet too | 07:00 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: also, when you reinstall ubuntu, can you load it then? | 07:01 |
| eepberries | completely forgetting about vista i mean | 07:01 |
| Incarus | eepberries, and is mac better? | 07:01 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, im on crunchbang as we speak, out of the box its working excellent its based on 8.10. perhaps you would test it yourself or use 8.10 32 bit to see if it includes what you would need. | 07:01 |
| hitman1985 | eepberries: no its not loadable | 07:01 |
| eepberries | Incarus: mac is for idiots | 07:01 |
| b1n42y | hitman1985: you need to fix mbr if your planning to start from scratch | 07:02 |
| b1n42y | seema wolfe.freenode went down :) | 07:06 |
| maxagaz | as soon as enter the login, it returns 'incorrect login', what wrong with my system ? | 07:07 |
| DMZ_ | ok | 07:07 |
| maxagaz | as soon as enter the login, it returns 'incorrect login', what wrong with my system ? | 07:07 |
| Incarus | eepberries, windows boot manager and grub annoying each other | 07:07 |
| eepberries | Incarus: probably, but reinstalling ubuntu should overwrite anything windows did right? at least that's been my experience | 07:07 |
| DMZ_ | illumin8: i was using unetbootin but it gives me an error message like this try (hd0.0):EXT2: | 07:07 |
| Incarus | maxagaz, your password is wrong, check keyboard map | 07:07 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, there are a number of functional methods for installing duel boots. some would be network installs, livecds, usb driven boots. | 07:07 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, but again, there are challanges with each | 07:07 |
| Incarus | eepberries, ho, did hi reinstall ubuntu over windows? | 07:07 |
| maxagaz | Incarus, keyborad map ? | 07:07 |
| eepberries | Incarus: i don't think so. i'm not entirely sure on the details | 07:07 |
| Incarus | maxagaz, special keys and so on | 07:07 |
| xie041 | no | 07:07 |
| plsd | DMZ_, it would probably be less of a hassle to buy a cd drive. a dvd drive costs like 20 euros new, I'm sure you'll get a cd drive really cheap | 07:07 |
| hitman1985 | i had installed vista ultimate 64 bit last week :) | 07:08 |
| Incarus | eepberries,k, i would do a ram check, and overwrite mbr and something like this | 07:08 |
| hitman1985 | then ubuntu 8.10 today | 07:08 |
| hitman1985 | after install ALL bootloader activity stopped | 07:08 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, over vista, or dualboot? | 07:08 |
| hitman1985 | nothing boots besides a live cd :( | 07:08 |
| DMZ_ | plsd: iam considering a new labtop rather than fixing everything in my old one it's a 512 of rams lol | 07:08 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: besides vista | 07:08 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, k | 07:08 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: resized a 500gb :) | 07:08 |
| illumin8_ | hitman1985, vistas bootloader overwrites the mbr, so grub wont work. | 07:08 |
| maxagaz | Incarus, when i try 'passwd myusername', it returns: authentification token manipulation error | 07:09 |
| eepberries | illumin8_: he installed ubuntu after installing windows | 07:09 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, boot a live cd and remove grub or remove windows boot manager | 07:09 |
| hitman1985 | vistas loader seems to be on each hdd here, i got 3 hdds connected and vista repair disc detects a bootloader on E (data hdd) | 07:09 |
| error404notfound | I want to install postfix BUT I have rkhunter which depends on exim, what should I do? | 07:09 |
| darph | hi, i can't change file permissions with sudo chmod or ownership with sudo chown | 07:09 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: im on live cd :) | 07:09 |
| illumin8_ | eepberries, thanks i missed the order. | 07:09 |
| Incarus | darph, try "sudo chmod 777 file" | 07:09 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: i dont have more systems in my house then one sorry :) | 07:10 |
| darph | Incarus, tried it.. doesn't change | 07:10 |
| Incarus | k | 07:10 |
| Am3ndment | Good morning everybody, today when i started my computer, i cant get to X. I can't remember doing any changes yesterday. Heh, any ideas :) | 07:10 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, remove grub in linux | 07:10 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, then it should work | 07:11 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: how so? readme or such | 07:11 |
| darph | Incarus, i've even tried gksudo nautilus and changing it.. but no use.. it reverts back to original file permission | 07:11 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, ? | 07:11 |
| eepberries | hitman1985: one thing to be cautious of is the vista repair disc itself. i don't know if this is the case with vista's, but my xp will destroy my boot sector whenever i use the repair mode or whatever it was called | 07:11 |
| puzanov | Am3ndment: see x11 logs | 07:11 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: i dont know scuad about this stuff :) | 07:11 |
| Incarus | darph, yeah, thats a problem, which ubuntu? | 07:11 |
| Incarus | hitman1985,k | 07:11 |
| bullgard4 | What is the preferred Ubuntu audio conference program? | 07:11 |
| darph | Incarus, 8.10 | 07:11 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, mount your linux partition | 07:11 |
| puzanov | Am3ndment: vim /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:12 |
| Incarus | darph, try to update your system, could be a bug | 07:12 |
| illumin8_ | eepberries, good thinking about how grub could have been whiped :) | 07:12 |
| Am3ndment | puzanov: where they was, /var/log ? | 07:12 |
| Am3ndment | thanks | 07:12 |
| Incarus | eepberries, good idea | 07:12 |
| Incarus | eepberries, he can repair his mbr under linux live cd | 07:12 |
| entrooo | anybody here use audacious? | 07:12 |
| eepberries | again, i don't know if the vista disc does that, but there isn't any reason to be using it anyway | 07:13 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: i got the 1 100 gb here which should be ubuntu, for some reason in the live cd my main partition (300gb_ vista) isnt even showin, but push that back, volume loeded | 07:13 |
| puzanov | Eneloop: yep | 07:13 |
| illumin8_ | eepberries, recovery mode will indeed whipe the grubs mbr, you are 100 percent accurate | 07:13 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, how old is the live cd? | 07:13 |
| illumin8_ | eepberries, erm sorry whipe grub from the mpr. | 07:13 |
| hitman1985 | about 10 mins | 07:13 |
| eepberries | yeah i thought sot | 07:14 |
| hitman1985 | oh about 3 hrs :) since i burnd it :) | 07:14 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, k, vista got a new file system | 07:14 |
| puzanov | entrooo: I'a using it for creating my podcasts | 07:14 |
| entrooo | have you had trouble with it crashing after streaming for a while? | 07:14 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, one moment | 07:14 |
| b1n42y | maxagaz: make sure capslock is off, then username enter then password enter | 07:14 |
| puzanov | entrooo: nope | 07:14 |
| puzanov | entrooo: works well for me | 07:14 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: isnt there a way to remote into this machine from somewhere, i m really not the bst person to mess with bootloaders :) | 07:14 |
| entrooo | mine keeps crashing, however I'm on a bad dsl connection | 07:14 |
| entrooo | so that might be the problem | 07:15 |
| entrooo | the stream keeps stopping and starting and then the program crashes | 07:15 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, i wouldnt do that | 07:15 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: kk :) | 07:15 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, which partition is linux (the installed), sda2? | 07:15 |
| illumin8_ | hitman1985, using the livecd is your best option, and incarus is just the person to walk you through it :) | 07:15 |
| Incarus | illumin8_, yeah | 07:16 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: how to see that from here | 07:16 |
| DMZ_ | is putting a dot at the bigining of folders hide it? | 07:16 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, look in gparted | 07:16 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: i got sda 5 +6 (5-ext3 and 6 - swap | 07:16 |
| eepberries | DMZ_: yeah | 07:16 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, in a way, ctr+h while in the folder would show it. | 07:16 |
| Am3ndment | puzanov: heh, i get "no screen found" error | 07:16 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, and also rehide it. | 07:17 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, sda5 | 07:17 |
| DMZ_ | illumin8: so will the dot hide it from the gui too? | 07:17 |
| puzanov | entrooo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacious/+bug/244208 | 07:17 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: ohhhh i cc now :) gparted is still here :) | 07:17 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, mount it | 07:17 |
| illumin8_ | DMZ_, correct, open your home folder and try ctrl+h you can see it in action. | 07:17 |
| eepberries | DMZ_: the dot is just a way of knowing that a folder is hidden when you're looking at it in the command line | 07:17 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: its mounted (thats what gparted says) | 07:18 |
| DMZ_ | so is there a way to password protect folders? | 07:18 |
| entrooo | puzanov: what does it mean when my audacious goes grey? | 07:18 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, enter "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" | 07:18 |
| puzanov | entrooo: hmm.. seems that it freezes | 07:19 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: it says couldnt find device ,,, | 07:19 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, k | 07:19 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, wait | 07:19 |
| hitman1985 | brb running to p real quick :) 1 min | 07:19 |
| Am3ndment | puzanov: is there way to linux write new xorg.conf? | 07:20 |
| Am3ndment | = i got "No screen found" error, even tho there is entry of screen | 07:20 |
| mikorn2 | Brother printers on 8.10? Anyone? Bueller? | 07:20 |
| int256 | i installed ubuntu with 4gb swap. | 07:20 |
| darph | Incarus, is there a known bug that does not allow changing file permissions? | 07:20 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, enter "sudo grub" in a terminal | 07:20 |
| int256 | then i tried to install windows xp. | 07:20 |
| Incarus | darph, dont know, it is a bug | 07:21 |
| eepberries | int256: uh oh | 07:21 |
| puzanov | Am3ndment: yes, what video driver do you use? | 07:21 |
| int256 | in windows xp i formatted swap | 07:21 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: grub> | 07:21 |
| Am3ndment | intel GMA 950 | 07:21 |
| eepberries | int256: let me guess, you can't load linux now right | 07:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | 07:21 |
| 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 | 07:21 |
| int256 | and all my other drives are gone. pls help | 07:21 |
| puzanov | Am3ndment: any driver has its own set of tools | 07:21 |
| Am3ndment | hmh, where can i find it? | 07:21 |
| int256 | i want my other drives back. with data. | 07:21 |
| eepberries | int256: what drives are gone? in what? | 07:21 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, "root (hd0,2)" | 07:22 |
| eepberries | int256: so, you overwrote your linux swap partition to install windows xp right? | 07:22 |
| int256 | eepberries: yes | 07:22 |
| eepberries | int256: so what's the problem you're having | 07:22 |
| puzanov | Am3ndment: what video card vendor you have on the box? nvidia? radeon? intel? | 07:22 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: error no such partition | 07:22 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, k | 07:22 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, "root (hd0,1)" | 07:22 |
| Am3ndment | Intel | 07:23 |
| int256 | eepberries: the other partitions are not showing up on windows. or linux | 07:23 |
| Am3ndment | puzanov: intel and i use i810 drivers | 07:23 |
| illumin8_ | Incarus, if hes got linux on sda5 wouldtn it be (hd0,4)? | 07:23 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: that seemd to have not thrown an erro | 07:23 |
| eepberries | int256: which other partitions? unrelated partitions, or linux partitions? | 07:23 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: it just went back to grub> | 07:23 |
| Incarus | illumin8_, dont know, i dont like grub | 07:23 |
| int256 | eepberries: unrelated partitions | 07:23 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, "root (hd0,4)" | 07:24 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: that did the same | 07:24 |
| int256 | eepberries: with movies and games and softwares for linux. | 07:24 |
| eepberries | int256: well the fact that you can load linux at all is weird. installing windows xp generally overwrites grub, making your linux installation inaccesible | 07:24 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: right back to grub> | 07:24 |
| illumin8_ | hitman1985, good :) | 07:24 |
| Incarus | illumin8_, was wrong | 07:24 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, "root (hd0,6)" | 07:24 |
| int256 | eepberries: ok, i want my partitions to show up in windows. | 07:25 |
| eepberries | int256: do they show up in ubuntu? | 07:25 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, have yoi got 2 hds? | 07:25 |
| int256 | eepberries: no | 07:25 |
| puzanov | Am3ndment: hmm, cant remember any tool for intel, but you can try this: X -config /root/xorg.conf.new | 07:25 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: how about 3 :) | 07:25 |
| illumin8_ | hitman1985, lol that explains it :) | 07:25 |
| eepberries | int256: well, if you're lucky all that's happened is your mbr is messed up and has lost the partitions, which can be recovered | 07:25 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, on which of them is ubuntu? on the second? | 07:25 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: first (sda) | 07:26 |
| puzanov | Am3ndment: after that you can replace xorg.conf with new generated file and reboot x-server | 07:26 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: u want a screenshot of gparted ? | 07:26 |
| int256 | eepberries: how ? | 07:26 |
| error404notfound | I can't remove exim4 | 07:26 |
| eepberries | int256: int256: let me think a second | 07:26 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, yes | 07:26 |
| int256 | eepberries: ok | 07:26 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: kk lemme find out how to do that ;) | 07:26 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, where's a tool | 07:27 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, or the print key | 07:27 |
| burkmat | Using the gnome-system-monitor... What the hell is "Other" network traffic? It seems to be quite active - And that bugs me. | 07:27 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: i know :) print then save then ul to tinypic | 07:27 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, k | 07:27 |
| eepberries | int256: what os are you using right now | 07:28 |
| int256 | eepberries: ubuntu i my second hdd. | 07:28 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, which hd is the first-booting? | 07:28 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: http://i43.tinypic.com/mma5cl.png | 07:28 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: booting is none at the moment, but the one i got vista / ubuntu on is the only one that should boot in the way i had it planned | 07:29 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, your ntfs (vista) is broken | 07:29 |
| cyrus_mc | if I want to install the kernel source for my currently installed kernel (2.6.27-11), what package do I install | 07:29 |
| Htx-Bruger | Do you see this message? | 07:29 |
| eepberries | alright. assuming that int256's partitions are lost but still in existance, what program would he/she used to find and restore them? | 07:29 |
| eepberries | gpart? | 07:29 |
| rww | Htx-Bruger: yes | 07:29 |
| lianimator | Hi, how do I merge several files into one? (concatenate) | 07:29 |
| tuntun | Hi, I am looking for an open-source app that can convert an .bin to a .iso. Does anyone know one? | 07:30 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: shouldnt be :( all i did is resize with ubuntu install | 07:30 |
| === Roozi is now known as RoozbehOnline | ||
| Incarus | hitman1985, yes, but resizing is verry riskfull | 07:30 |
| rww | lianimator: cat source1 source2 source3 source4 > destination | 07:30 |
| lianimator | rww: thanks | 07:30 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, we try to repair it | 07:31 |
| popmadness | Good evening, all. | 07:31 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: hope we can | 07:31 |

| StR|Sangreal | hello... my boot is slowed down due to an no-critical error and i have no clue what is wrong... could pls someone attend this? | 07:31 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, yes | 07:31 |
| eepberries | int256: i think you want to use gparted to find the lost partitions, assuming that's what's going on | 07:31 |
| ojcme | I have a question for y'all | 07:31 |
| SinPro | Does anyone know about a Install guide for newbie? | 07:31 |
| eepberries | int256: actually no, gpart is what i mean | 07:31 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, make right click on ntfs partition and search something like repair or check ... | 07:32 |
| rww | !install | SinPro | 07:32 |

| ojcme | Why is it that I get recursive errors when trying to install an alternate window manager? | 07:32 |
| int256 | eepberries: wait, i am checking | 07:32 |
| Am3ndment | Heya, no help | 07:32 |
| Incarus | popmadness, "glxinfo | grep direct" | 07:32 |
| SinPro | Oh It's great! thx | 07:32 |
| Am3ndment | It opened some ugly window and there was X mouse cursor but nothing else :/ | 07:33 |
| Am3ndment | Other ideas? | 07:33 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: check and repair will be riskfull as it tells me that now | 07:33 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, 30 gb pictures? do you save everything in raw? | 07:33 |

| int256 | eepberries: it shows the entire hdd as 'unallocated' | 07:33 |
| popmadness | Incarus: Sorry. Enter key fail. | 07:33 |
| Incarus | popmadness, have you got x86 or x64? | 07:33 |
| popmadness | Incarus: Sorry. Enter key fail. | 07:34 |
| Incarus | popmadness, i know | 07:34 |
| SinPro | can I use the vmware at Ubuntu? | 07:34 |
| eepberries | int256: gpart showed that? also, how many hard drives do you have? which have missing partitions? | 07:34 |
| Incarus | SinPro, yes | 07:34 |
| Incarus | SinPro, you can also use qemu | 07:34 |
| SinPro | qemu? | 07:34 |
| Am3ndment | puzanov: didnt work | 07:34 |
| popmadness | Incarus: x86. I can give you my phpsysinfo URL if need be. | 07:34 |
| SinPro | I haven't herad about it | 07:34 |
| Incarus | SinPro, yes, is quicker (if you use kqemu) | 07:34 |
| eper3z | any1 have experience with "Big Desktop" and fglrx drivers? | 07:34 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: wow it just threw an error | 07:34 |
| int256 | eepberries: the 250gb drive. i selected it.. | 07:34 |
| Incarus | popmadness, k | 07:35 |
| eepberries | int256: was this using gparted or gpart? | 07:35 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, tell me | 07:35 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, or make a screenshot | 07:35 |
| popmadness | Incarus: http://mypopmadness.com/phpsysinfo . | 07:35 |
| int256 | eepberries: gparted | 07:35 |
| * SinPro slaps Incarus around a bit with a large trout | 07:35 | |
| eepberries | int256: i'm pretty sure that's a different program | 07:35 |
| eepberries | int256: from what i'mm reading, gpart is the program for trying to recover lost partitions | 07:35 |
| int256 | eepberries: ok wait, i will install | 07:36 |
| SinPro | Incarus, how do i get kqemu? | 07:36 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: http://i44.tinypic.com/25k0eoi.png | 07:36 |
| Incarus | popmadness, "ps -u root | grep xorg" | 07:36 |
| eepberries | int256: i should let you know though that i've never actually used it, i only have experience with the program testdisk for windows xp | 07:36 |
| Incarus | SinPro, if you want kqemu, you have to compile it | 07:36 |
| SinPro | oh | 07:37 |
| popmadness | Incarus: <blank> | 07:37 |
| eepberries | have any of you ever recovered lost partitions using linux? if so please chime in | 07:37 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, your ntfs is broken | 07:37 |
| Incarus | popmadness, good | 07:37 |
| SinPro | Incarus, Im such a newbie... how can i comile it ... | 07:37 |
| Incarus | popmadness, adobes flash player or gansh? | 07:38 |
| Incarus | SinPro, use vmware, its easier | 07:38 |
| SinPro | ok | 07:38 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: wow great, meaning ubuntus coders just cost me my family pics, :( | 07:38 |
| int256 | eepberries: i used apt-get to install gpart. how to use it ? | 07:38 |
| SinPro | Incarus, kqemu can run directx? | 07:38 |
| b1n42y | whatver you do dont interrupt gparted processes once youve clicked apply | 07:38 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, no, you can rescue it | 07:38 |
| popmadness | I've tried Adobe installed alone, gansh alone, both installed together. Just Adobe right now. | 07:38 |
| eepberries | int256: http://www.brzitwa.de/mb/gpart/index.html | 07:38 |
| eepberries | that page seems to have some good information on using it | 07:38 |
| Incarus | SinPro, could be | 07:38 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, wait a sec | 07:39 |
| eepberries | int256: i've never used it myself, though i've done the same thing with a different program in windows xp | 07:39 |
| Am3ndment | Now i dont get any errors in xorg.log file :/ | 07:39 |
| bkruse1 | Hey guys, we just had to pull the drives out of a raid 1 server, and put them back in an hour later (after testing), however, they won't boot, and when we fdisk either one of the drives, the ext3 partition shows up as "Swap/Linux (146Gig)" Any idea? Anything we can do? | 07:39 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, "sudo mkdir /media/Vista", "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Vista" | 07:39 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, we can rescue your private things, but i think you have to reinstall vista | 07:40 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: it says you must specify the filesystem | 07:40 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, k , mom | 07:41 |
| eepberries | Incarus: do you know anything about finding lost partitions using linux? | 07:41 |
| b1n42y | bkruse1: fstab needs modifying by the sounds of it... dont know | 07:41 |
| rdw200169 | eepberries, you can use testdisk for that... | 07:41 |
| eepberries | rdw200169: oh is that available on linux? | 07:41 |
| rdw200169 | eepberries, it'll seek out and find old partition tables | 07:41 |
| rdw200169 | eepberries, yup | 07:41 |
| eepberries | oh okay | 07:41 |
| eepberries | cool | 07:41 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/Vista" | 07:41 |
| Incarus | eepberries, yes, use testdisk or something like that | 07:42 |
| bkruse1 | b1n42y: I appreciate it, but it won't even boot right now, so we have it in a PC with knoppix running, just trying to save the mysql database | 07:42 |
| bkruse1 | we just need the mysql database :/ | 07:42 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: that where it says file system type ? | 07:42 |
| rdw200169 | eepberries, you *are* talking about finding partitions that have been deleted, right? | 07:42 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, ? | 07:42 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, try the command | 07:42 |
| eepberries | rdw200169: not sure, it isn't my problem. i'm trying to help int256 figure out why some of his partitions are missing | 07:42 |
| === tmanternach is now known as trvr | ||
| rdw200169 | eepberries, not just hard to detect, like ext3 on windows | 07:42 |
| eepberries | or if they're just gone | 07:42 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument | 07:43 |
| hitman1985 | The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS. | 07:43 |
| hitman1985 | Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a | 07:43 |
| hitman1985 | partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? | 07:43 |
| rdw200169 | eepberries, b/c parted will show everything, regardless of whether or not its mountable | 07:43 |
| eper3z | some1 help me with this display issue plz! | 07:43 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, shit, wait | 07:43 |
| rdw200169 | eepberries, same thing w/gparted, the gtk parted frontend | 07:43 |
| eepberries | rdw200169: well he said gparted showed the hard drive as being unallocated | 07:43 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Vista" | 07:43 |
| popmadness | Incarus: Switching back to gnash. | 07:43 |
| Incarus | popmadness, i wouldnt do that, but you can try | 07:44 |
| eepberries | rdw200169: would that be scanning for partitions that could be lost? | 07:44 |
| int256 | eepberries: scaning. | 07:44 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: same thing | 07:44 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, k | 07:44 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, just a sec | 07:44 |
| rdw200169 | eepberries, no, go with testdisk. it can also repair screwed up partition tables | 07:44 |
| popmadness | Incarus: Fail either way. | 07:44 |
| eepberries | rdw200169: alright well int256's using a program called gpart right now | 07:44 |
| rdw200169 | eepberries, int256 refer to the documentation here for help, this may do what you want: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 07:45 |
| b1n42y | Incarus: do you think qemu is better than virtuabox and is kqemu for cpu capable emulation? | 07:45 |
| tuntun | Hi, I am looking for an open-source app that can convert an .bin to a .iso. Does anyone know one? | 07:45 |
| SinPro | there's 32bit and 64bit files, which one should I get? | 07:45 |
| rdw200169 | eepberries, yeah, but gparted said that it was 'unallocated' that's not very useful | 07:45 |
| SinPro | My laptop is T9300 | 07:45 |
| eepberries | rdw200169: yeah if gpart doesn't find it (i don't know anything about this program) i'll have int256 installtestdisk | 07:45 |
| eepberries | rdw200169: gpart, not gparted | 07:45 |
| eepberries | i think they're different | 07:45 |
| Seveas | !iso | tuntun | 07:46 |
| ubottu | tuntun: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:46 |
| SinPro | there's 32bit and 64bit files, which one should I get? my laptop cpu is t9300 | 07:46 |
| aram | . | 07:46 |
| Incarus | b1n42y, 1. yes, 2. yes | 07:46 |
| rdw200169 | eepberries, ah, testdisk and gpart do about the same thing... i prefer testdisk personally... (also int256 ) | 07:46 |
| bryhoyt | hi, have a USB drive problem in Intrepid. I plugin a drive, it shows up in Nautilus ("Places" sidebar). Then I unplug the device (after unmounting it) and the icon remains in "Places". When I plug it in again, a new icon appears. Each time I plug/unplug, another icon gets added. Furthermore, the folder in "/media" doesn't always disappear on unmount, so I can't rely on a consistent filename. | 07:46 |
| int256 | eepberries: estimated time to complete scan. | 07:46 |
| eepberries | int256: what is it saying so far | 07:47 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, ok. know error | 07:47 |
| error404notfound | any help on: http://pastebin.com/m7886fa9 | 07:47 |
| bryhoyt | I've had it since hardy & possibly even before. It was working perfectly on intrepid till recently (it's not related to updates tho -- I haven't updated since installing 3 months ago, and updating today hasn't fix it). | 07:47 |
| b1n42y | tuntun: bin2iso | 07:47 |
| b1n42y | Incarus: ta | 07:47 |
| SinPro | Incarus, I have a question | 07:47 |
| plsd | SinPro, Depends :) Take a look in the ubuntu forums in the 64-bit forum, there you can read about the "problems" with 64-bit. If you use any programs that aren't available in 64-bit then go with 32, flash used to be problematic before but not anymore, I don't know if there's anything problematic now. I'm using 64. Choose whichever | 07:47 |
| int256 | eepberries: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/121705/ | 07:48 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: so you know the error or your asking me ? | 07:48 |
| tuntun | Seveas, b1n42y, thanks. | 07:48 |
| bryhoyt | anyone experienced this USB bug & does anyone have ideas where to start investigating? | 07:48 |
| eepberries | int256: that's looking great. are those the partitions you're missing? | 07:48 |

| Incarus | hitman1985, hm, boot the windows cd and boot into windows and enter in terminal "fixmbr", this should work | 07:48 |
| SinPro | hmmmmmmm | 07:48 |
| Am3ndment | im getting pretty hopeless :/ | 07:49 |

| SinPro | plsd, 64 is faster than 32? | 07:49 |
| TIMM1337 | ive got a real big problem ... can someone help me? | 07:49 |
| int256 | eepberries: ya, but one remaining to show | 07:49 |
| TIMM1337 | ok ;) | 07:49 |
| plsd | SinPro, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=616&num=1 | 07:49 |
| eepberries | SinPro: that depends entirely on how well your apps were programmed | 07:49 |
| Seveas | TIMM1337, not really. You haven't told us the problem so there's not much we can do :) | 07:49 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, ok. forgett it, was wrong | 07:50 |
| SinPro | hmm | 07:50 |
| eepberries | int256: cool. is it finished scanning yet? | 07:50 |
| int256 | eepberries: no | 07:50 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, install "testdisk" and start it | 07:50 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: i m running the same crakc then he is talking about but dont think this has anything to do with it :) | 07:50 |
| TIMM1337 | xD ok .. so .. i installed ubuntu on my usb stick ... but now i cant boot myhard drive if the stick isnt connectet | 07:50 |
| TIMM1337 | it always boots the grup | 07:51 |
| TIMM1337 | that booting windows and its tells me "error" | 07:51 |
| cooldduuudde | timm1337 even if pen drive is removed? | 07:51 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, crack? | 07:51 |
| eepberries | TIMM1337: you screwed up. how did you install it on the usb stick | 07:51 |
| TIMM1337 | no just when its removed | 07:51 |
| Seveas | TIMM1337, boot from windows cd and run the fixmbr command. Then reinstall grub onto the usb stick | 07:51 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: activator for vista ;) i am not paying the ms cartell :) | 07:51 |
| Incarus | TIMM1337, dont do this | 07:52 |
| rww | hitman1985: please don't discuss stuff like that in here. | 07:52 |
| cooldduuudde | you installed grub on hdd while OS on pen drive timm1337 | 07:52 |
| Incarus | TIMM1337, install grub on the hd | 07:52 |
| TIMM1337 | my stick works perfect | 07:52 |
| kizza | hi | 07:52 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, k | 07:52 |
| Incarus | 8-) | 07:52 |
| TIMM1337 | i just need to remove grub but how ^^ | 07:52 |
| eepberries | TIMM1337: that isn't the problem, your computer now looks for your usb drive for booting | 07:52 |
| Seveas | Incarus, that won't work if /boot/grub is on the usb stick and he wants to boot without it | 07:52 |
| TIMM1337 | ok so i have to change the boot device? | 07:52 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, install, testdisk on live linux and run | 07:52 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: how ? all i see is a archive | 07:53 |
| eepberries | TIMM1337: do you have only windows installed on your hard drive? | 07:53 |
| Incarus | Seveas, ... | 07:53 |
| TIMM1337 | yes | 07:53 |
| cooldduuudde | TIMM1337 you have 2 run windows recovery console or sumthing. but even without it i think it shud b possible 2 boot windows from grub | 07:53 |
| Incarus | hitman1985, terminal (in linux live cd) and "sudo apt-get install testdisk" | 07:53 |
| eepberries | TIMM1337: well i dont know if it will mess up your usb linux installation or not, but doing what Seveas said will fix the windows problem | 07:54 |
| TIMM1337 | it doesnt even oopen grub cause error | 07:54 |
| Incarus | Seveas, wrong, i think | 07:54 |
| Seveas | Incarus, in case you don't know: grub is a 2-stage bootloader. Stage2 lives in /boot/grub and is needed for booting | 07:54 |
| hitman1985 | Incarus: couldnt find package | 07:54 |
| SuperMoot | is it possible to use wget for --load-cookies file along with --http-user=user --http-password=pass , and have it login to two places (one with the cookie) and the other site with the user:pass ? | 07:54 |
| Incarus | Seveas, yes, he have to install it on hd | 07:54 |
| Seveas | eepberries, it will make the usb dongle unbootable, hence the 'then reinstall grub onto the usb drive' thing | 07:54 |
| Seveas | Incarus, no, he needs grub not to touch his hd and use bios boot order to boot from usb | 07:54 |
| TIMM1337 | so kk thanks guys for your help im coming back when i fixed the prob | 07:54 |
| TIMM1337 | thanks very much | 07:55 |

| Incarus | automatic | 08:39 |
| CJari | alright.. thats i thought.. maybe there was error | 08:39 |

| vicmen | Flannel, Im just venting... I learned a little bit of CentOS and I find it difficult to apply it to Ubuntu, jumping from yum to apt and sometimes installing .deb and, I mean this is all really punishing. I am an infant to the world of Linux so you can imagine my frustration. However, I will say this, this is by far the most enegetic, eager, no question is too simple chat I have ever been in. I am beginning to see why when a few | 09:34 |
| b1n42y | intrepid* | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Futurama140: you know that link i gave you, scroll to the bottom of the xorg.conf example, where it says Load "glx" Load "GLcore" etc, you need a section like that with Load "DRI" | 09:34 |
| bohemian_ | what do you with mine? | 09:35 |
| eepberries | vicmen: yeah ubuntu community support is fantastic in general | 09:35 |
| bohemian_ | ActionParsnip: what do you say with my result? | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | bohemian_: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173; gksudo nvidia-settings | 09:35 |
| rwat | vicmen: there's a learning curve involved. People here seem quite happy to help with any part, but its orth remembering that it's a long term thing really. | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | bohemian_: if you are told to run a command as root then run: sudo <command> and restart x | 09:35 |
| shear | Flannel, logout/login again didn't work. Tried sudo chown -R www-data /var/www; sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www; sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www | 09:36 |

| milligan_ | Is it possible, in a dhcp server, so define a range for dhcp .. and after a client has connected, make his ip static? Like, define 192.168.0.100-200 as dhcp range, and then make 192.168.0.120 static .. ? | 09:36 |

| eepberries | shear: for what account | 09:37 |
| rww | bullgard4: gnomemeeting changed its name to ekiga. Some users might have the gnomemeeting package installed and want to upgrade it easily, or may not know about the name change, so the gnomemeeting package is a pointer to the ekiga package. | 09:37 |
| shear | my personal login, which is a member of the www-data group | 09:38 |

| eepberries | shear: i think to add group access with chown, you're supposed to use : in front of the group name | 09:39 |
| bullgard4 | ActionParsnip, rww Thank you for answering. | 09:39 |
| eepberries | like chown -R www-data :/var/www | 09:39 |

| rww | eepberries: yeah, I think so | 09:41 |

| ActionParsnip | bohemian_: like i said: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | bohemian_: then restart x | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | eepberries: not quite | 09:42 |
| shear | eepberries, magnetron, yeah. 'sudo chmod -R ug+rwx /var/www' Looked through history, I *had* tried it before, but for some reason it didn't work. worked now though | 09:42 |

| Milkeh | does does anybody know how I can reset my rubbish bin icon | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | eepberries: then chmod the folder to allow the group full access | 09:44 |
| yogi_ | i just reinstalling ubuntu... do i need to use (tick) the boot loader for a solo installation? | 09:44 |

| koshari | Milkeh by emptying it | 09:45 |

| yogi_ | my fault | 09:45 |

| NativeAngels | so that everyone in that group has ftp access | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | yogi_: if you are new to linux you will have teething problems | 09:45 |
| yogi_ | i reinstall and get back to you... thanks! | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Futurama140: its the same for all video drivers as they all use xorg.conf, ive already told you how to do it | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Futurama140: I'll now show you exactly so you get it | 09:47 |

| ActionParsnip | Futurama140: if you'd looked at the post I gave, it was there | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | bohemian_: ctrl+alt+backspace | 09:47 |
| Wille_eee | Phones output won't work while pc speakers work prop, why is that? | 09:49 |
| Milkeh | koshari, that did nothing | 09:50 |
| NativeAngels | so to allow users to have ftp access to there own folders you have to make a group of users for ftp access | 09:50 |
| Futurama140 | the webpage you gave me is about screen resolution, i searched all 3 pages and it did not say anything about DRI | 09:50 |
| ubd | i want an application only to use eth1 and not use eth0 how can i do this | 09:50 |
| ubd | or i want eth0 to be used only by for file tranfer (samba) and nothing else | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Futurama140: I showed you the section it needs to be added to and how the line is worded. You could then add it yourself. Yes it dodnt say EXACTLY those things but i kinda hoped you'd work it out a little | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ubd: you could pull eth0 down | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ubd: sudo ifdown eth0 | 09:52 |
| ubd | what do you mean pull it down | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ubd: it means the device will be there but not usable | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ubd: it will be up next time you reboot | 09:52 |
| ubd | i want it to be used for file transfer? | 09:53 |

| quibbler | Futurama140: open a terminal and run this gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Futurama140: you need to make your xorg.conf file look a lot like the one in that post, with the video card config, the monitor and the screen sections | 09:55 |
| bohemian_ | ActionParsnip: i have tried this earlier, after installing userful multiplier it won't just detect and separate screen properly. what should you think the reason for this? | 09:55 |

| ActionParsnip | bohemian_: its not something ive ever done | 09:57 |
| bohemian_ | i see | 09:57 |
| savvas | ubd: you won't find a more general answer than that one, because I believe it requires network structure knowledge and routing | 09:57 |
| ubd | allright savvas THANK YOU | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | bohemian_: but the driver you have are working so you are halfway | 09:57 |
| savvas | no problemo :P | 09:57 |
| Futurama140 | could you tell me what exactly to type? im completely unfamiliar with the structure of whatever the file is structure | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | bohemian_: you could manually edit xorg.con, usually the nvidia config app does dualhead nice | 09:57 |
| bohemian_ | ActionParsnip: yeah , thanks... i'll see if I can do it | 09:58 |
| Futurama140 | i dont know any operator symbols or even the line end command | 09:58 |

| Futurama140 | EndSection | 10:02 |
| eepberries | that will install a windows emulator | 10:02 |

| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: also i'm getting a not found error for sarge backports for 16bit ubuntu repo | 11:32 |
| NET||abuse | ubuntu__, pysical damage to the drive, spinright is the one to sort it. | 11:32 |
| ikonia | yogi_: you have to add it if it's not there - which is what I just said | 11:33 |
| NET||abuse | ubuntu__, ah, it's spinrite sorry | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: may help: http://www.balluche.fr/en/?1215/apt-get-update-erreur-NO-PUBKEY | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !sarge | 11:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sarge | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: thats a debian repo, i would not install those no ubuntu | 11:34 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: I'll have a look. thanks | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | !debian | Tyrath_ | 11:34 |
| ubottu | Tyrath_: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 11:34 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: why's that? | 11:34 |
| arvind_khadri | Tyrath_, why are you using sarge repos for ubuntu??? and there is no 16 bit ubuntu | 11:34 |
| ubuntu__ | NET||abuse: is that the problem then? physical damage. I can see the drive when i boot from the live cd, but cant access it | 11:34 |
| yogi_ | i know what you are saying but i would be gratefull if you could guide me through it... because i have tried to edit my xorg.conf without any success! | 11:34 |
| Tyrath_ | I know what debian is though | 11:34 |
| Tyrath_ | well I know that it's atleast similar to ubuntu with the apt tool | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: ubuntu != debian | 11:35 |
| Tyrath_ | infact ubuntu got its apt tool with a few mods | 11:35 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: nah what i meant is that its like ubuntu in that it uses the apt tool | 11:35 |
| ikonia | yogi_: what is there to guide ? | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: i seriously wouldnt mix them up its gonna cause a whole tonne of pain | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: win xp uses directx but is nothing like windows 98 | 11:36 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: the thing is I struggle to find ubuntu support for a lot of problems | 11:36 |
| ikonia | yogi_: you have in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf a "Section Device" | 11:36 |
| NET||abuse | ubuntu__, if you dropped it, likely,, spinrite is the best bet, but dropping can be pretty catastrphic to a drive, so I wouldn't bet on success overall. | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: then use debian rather than ubuntu | 11:36 |
| ikonia | yogi_: in that section add Driver "vesa" | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: ubuntu is not for everyone | 11:36 |
| NET||abuse | ubuntu__, the drop could damage the read head motors and then there's just nothing you can do. | 11:36 |
| boubbin | !kde4 | 11:36 |
| ubottu | kde4 is KDE 4.1.3 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.3 | 4.2 packages http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 | Support in #kubuntu | 11:36 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: really can't be bothered | 11:36 |
| ubuntu__ | NET||abuse: Im not bothered about anything but the music on there. Is there no way to access that information? | 11:36 |
| Ethosser | hi guys, I changed my hostname last night and now I can't use samba to browse files- it won't let me log in with the dns name, but if I use the IP of the server it's fine | 11:36 |
| Ethosser | any ideas? | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: if you wanna in stall debian debs then go for it but ive warned you | 11:36 |
| yogi_ | ok i give it another go... thanks. | 11:36 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: I have everything configured the way I like it with ubuntu | 11:37 |
| NET||abuse | ubuntu__, if you have another big drive, you could try dd copy the whole drive bit by bit | 11:37 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: I had to for QTStalker - a share application | 11:37 |
| NET||abuse | ubuntu__, do a little reading on dd backup | 11:37 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: basically it graphs stocks etc. | 11:37 |
| ubuntu__ | NET||abuse: I have an external hard drive | 11:37 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: I think that was it anyhow | 11:37 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: oh wait | 11:37 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: no, you mean backports | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: if its open source you can compile source, make a deb and install it | 11:37 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: so what would the harm be with backports? | 11:38 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: nah, it doesn't work as a deb | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: who knows, debian debs are made debian, ubuntu debs are made for ubuntu | 11:38 |
| NET||abuse | ok, i would say try dd copy, see what is recovered to the external drive, then try a repair on the old drive, or spinrite it and see if it recovers.. though i would ultimately replace that drive, it's taken a knock so it's not going to be reliable. | 11:38 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: seriously, I've tried source, I've tried the deb tool, etc. I get the program running but the stocks aren't grabbed so its useless | 11:38 |
| Anarhist | hello, i know that there is an application under ubuntu which can take a text and analyse it telling me how many verbs, how many nouns, and the structures of the language involved, but i forgot what tool that is, can somebody help? | 11:39 |
| arvind_khadri | Anarhist, lex | 11:39 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: the only way I managed to get it installed was to add it to the repos | 11:39 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: I'm not sure if that's what zwets.com is or not | 11:39 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: I'll take a look at my sources.lst file and find out | 11:39 |
| ubuntu__ | NET||abuse: was considering buying a new one anyway. Ill read up on dd backup cheers | 11:39 |
| arvind_khadri | Anarhist, but thats a coding language... you can use it to code the thing you want to achieve | 11:40 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: ok, according to the sources.list file the wine repository is there | 11:41 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: just when I try sudo apt-get install winetools it won't install | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: cool, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine | 11:41 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: already got wine | 11:42 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: I need winetools to install WMP | 11:42 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: I need WMP because there's a site with training clips I can't view without it | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: i have the official wine repo in my sources and i don't have an entry for wine tools | 11:43 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: and I'm not even sure if wine pipes video script into WMP or not | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: wow really, WMP, weird | 11:43 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: yah I get this message: This video requires Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player to run | 11:43 |
| Nytrix | how do i use/install compiz? | 11:44 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: btw, getting rid of sarge backports for deb fixed the sudo apt-get upgrade issue. thanks | 11:44 |
| arvind_khadri | !ccsm | Nytrix | 11:44 |
| ubottu | Nytrix: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 11:44 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: I still get the silly error about zwets - maybe they've taken the repo offline :/ | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149585 how to setup winetools | 11:45 |

| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: if there was a way around not having to install WMP I would definately go for it | 11:48 |
| mylisto | hey all...wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to get yahoo voice working in ubuntu? | 11:49 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: I would also love to get rid of gxine and just stick with mplayer but I don't know how to get dvds to play on mplayer or if the quality is even that good | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: well why do you use it? | 11:49 |

| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: because I need to view the training vids | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: vlc will view videos, so will mplayer, so will all players so long as you havecodecs | 11:49 |
| subodh | how to remove photoshop in wine ? | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !players | 11:50 |
| ubottu | Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | subodh: uninstaller in a terminal | 11:50 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: well I use mplayer as my song player anyhow. it's very conveniant considering it works in bash as well. so i may aswell use it for vids as well | 11:50 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: having two video players is just a waste of resources | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: indeed, doesnt even need an x server to be running to work too :) | 11:51 |
| subodh | geve me comand in terminal ? | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: true, so choose one and stick with it | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | subodh: uninstaller | 11:51 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: well definately stick with mplayer because it works for everything but dvds for me. gxine only seems to work well for dvds and poor for everything else | 11:52 |
| NET||abuse | so how do i setup a volume on one server to be mounted or connected to by 3 other servers? They're all hardy. nfs? samba? ssh? | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: what happens if you try to play a dvd in mplayer? | 11:52 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: the reason I kept gxine is cause it was taking me ages to figure out how to get the dvd codecs for mplayer actually allowing me to play dvd files | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | NET||abuse: all will work fine | 11:53 |
| NET||abuse | ActionParsnip, awww :P | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2006-August/062257.html | 11:53 |
| NET||abuse | ActionParsnip, I was hoping for guidance, here's the nicest way to do it :) | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | NET||abuse: samba will play nicer with windows | 11:53 |
| subodh | sudo apt-get uninstaller photoshop 7.0 | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | NET||abuse: no such thing as nicest | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | subodh: no, i never said that | 11:53 |
| NET||abuse | ActionParsnip, screw windows, there is exactly 10 of us on linux, and 1 windows machine, | 11:53 |
| subodh | this comand ok ? | 11:53 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: you shouldn't need anything special. Just libdvdcss2 that everything else needs | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | subodh: the command is simply: uninstaller | 11:53 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: I could have a crack at it if you like. fortunately in one respect, gxine is the default vid player which means dvds automatically play through it. i have no idea how to change that, that preference application thing in the system menu won't let me | 11:54 |
| mylisto | hey all...wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to get yahoo voice working in ubuntu? | 11:54 |
| subodh | plz give full comand | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | mylisto: theres gyache | 11:54 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: I just searched for that and it's apparently already installed | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | subodh: uninstaller | 11:54 |
| cooldduuudde | mylisto I've also been looking for a solution on voice calls. anyone? | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | subodh: ive told you 3 times now | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | subodh: its one word | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | subodh: uninstalle | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | uninstaller | 11:55 |
| silv3r_m001 | hi there | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi | silv3r_m001 | 11:55 |
| ubottu | silv3r_m001: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 11:55 |
| mylisto | actionparsnip: what is gyache? | 11:55 |
| silv3r_m001 | in ubuntu is it possible to get the vista kind of anti-aliasing of fonts ? | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mylisto: its a yahoo client with voice that you cn use in chatrooms and junk | 11:55 |
| subodh | ok | 11:55 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: so what happens when you try to play a dvd? (mplayer dvd://1) | 11:56 |
| oCean_ | NET||abuse: if you're looking for a quick 'n easy setup, NFS would be my choice. NFS and security don't go together really well, though. But if that is not a major issue... NFS is easy | 11:56 |
| cooldduuudde | ActionParsnip. wot? | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | cooldduuudde: ? | 11:57 |
| cooldduuudde | ActionParsnip about yahoo | 11:57 |
| mylisto | how do I install gyache? | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | mylisto: compile or get debs from the maintainers ste. Used to use it when mandrake was my man | 11:58 |
| zash | NFS + VPN FTW! | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | cooldduuudde: http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/download.shtml | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | cooldduuudde: its only debbed up to gutsy so you must compile | 11:59 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: well i just put in a dvd and nothing is happening - weird. this hasn't happened before | 11:59 |
| silv3r_m001 | ActionParsnip: any idea on that ? | 11:59 |
| cooldduuudde | ActionParsnip: can't it b straight installed in interpid? | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !fonts | silv3r_m001 | 11:59 |
| ubottu | silv3r_m001: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 11:59 |
| silv3r_m001 | ActionParsnip: I have seen and used that | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | cooldduuudde: no its not on the repo and hasnt been made into a deb for hardy / intrepid | 12:00 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: actually, scrap that. i didn't put the dvd in correctly | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: thats all i know | 12:00 |
| cooldduuudde | ActionParsnip: ok | 12:00 |
| silv3r_m001 | fine | 12:00 |
| Tyrath_ | and now it's loading up realllllllly slow with gxine... | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: maybe someone else can assist you | 12:00 |
| silv3r_m001 | hmm | 12:01 |
| cooldduuudde | are there voice clients avlbl for msn also? | 12:01 |
| Tyrath_ | ...which is why i hate gxine | 12:01 |
| Tyrath_ | it's fine when gxine loads | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | cooldduuudde: erm amsn maybe | 12:01 |
| Tyrath_ | but so slow to load up | 12:01 |
| cooldduuudde | oryt | 12:01 |
| chronographer | anyone got an ipod classic suggest software which works good for podcasts and music? | 12:01 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: personally, I prefer vlc for dvd | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | cooldduuudde: its not something I do as I prefer to type | 12:02 |
| matthew1429 | I have 4 hard drives installed can someone recommend a utility to know which one is which in nautilus? | 12:02 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: wow, i just tried the dvd on mplayer and it's working | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | matthew1429: mount | 12:02 |
| Tarelerulz | I printed some wiki pages to pdf on the print to file option and now I need to edit them for school and I can't see to find anything that will do that. Is there something about pdf whicn you mean you can't edit all its parts like pictures, borders | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !info pdfedit | Tarelerulz | 12:02 |

| Tyrath_ | jrib: i take that back. it started to load. showed me a few warnings about copyright etc. and then it closed :( | 12:03 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: it only played title 1 | 12:03 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: possibly | 12:03 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: mplayer dvd://2 for title 2, etc | 12:03 |
| NET||abuse | I'm on hardy, so for backups of mysql, svn and others, should i use bacula source or the hardy deb? hardy deb = 2.2.8, current stable = 2.4.4 | 12:04 |
| yogi_ | tried placing vesa driver in the xorg without any success | 12:04 |
| silv3r_m001 | ActionParsnip: while installing a package a lot of dependencies are installed... while uninstalling is there any option to remove them too ? | 12:04 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: so there's no way I can watch the entire film without having to go through each part one by one? | 12:04 |
| yogi_ | there is not really much in the xorg.conf | 12:04 |
| NET||abuse | is there a reason to go through the maintenance of compiling bacula myself? | 12:04 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: cause i was running mplayer dvd://media/cdrom0 | 12:04 |
| yogi_ | section = device | 12:04 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: not sure if that's the way you're supposed to do it | 12:04 |
| NET||abuse | Intrepid is also only on 2.4.2, so still even a little behind. | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 12:04 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: well if you watch the right title, then it will play that title in its entirety. You can also give a range of titles. Or use dvdnav | 12:05 |
| silv3r_m001 | what does it actually do ? | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: what does what do? | 12:05 |
| silv3r_m001 | that command | 12:05 |
| silv3r_m001 | which u gave | 12:05 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: so howcome with gxine i don't have to do that? | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: it looks for packages which are now orphaned and will remove them as well as their config | 12:06 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: what happened to autoplay? | 12:06 |
| silv3r_m001 | hmm fine | 12:06 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: I just gave you two options so you don't need to enter the title | 12:06 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: dvdnav is that another program? | 12:07 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: no, dvdnav:// | 12:07 |
| silv3r_m001 | ActionParsnip: is that reliable.. are there changes that any existing app will stop running ? | 12:07 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: so is there no way to set mplayer up so it plays dvds like they would be played on a dvd player? | 12:07 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: because if there's not i'm going to hang on to gxine | 12:08 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: did you try dvdnav...? | 12:08 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: i'll try it now | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: no, it just removes libs and fluff you no longer need | 12:08 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: it didn't do anything | 12:08 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: pastebin | 12:08 |
| yogi_ | ikonia: you still around? | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: example: install firefox and you get xul-runner. if you uninstall firefox, xul-runner will just sit there and is essentially pointless and can be removed | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: autoremove will see this and remove it | 12:09 |
| yogi_ | tried vesa without any luck with the sis card | 12:09 |
| silv3r_m001 | hmm | 12:09 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: http://pastebin.com/f470933dc | 12:09 |
| silv3r_m001 | ActionParsnip: I want to remove every package related to compiz | 12:09 |
| silv3r_m001 | how can I do that | 12:09 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: well include the command you ran | 12:09 |
| silv3r_m001 | I remove a package called compiz but there are many | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: sudo apt-get --purge remove compiz*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 12:10 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: mplayer dvdnav:// | 12:10 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: oh wait | 12:10 |
| silv3r_m001 | ActionParsnip: but a package might be there which is related to compiz but not starting with the name compiz | 12:10 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: i'll add the path | 12:10 |
| silv3r_m001 | then what | 12:10 |
| yogi_ | now it tells me its running in low graphics mode | 12:10 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: you don't need any path. You might need to do "dvdnav://1" though | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: thats what the autoremove is for, once you remove the compiz ones the others will be removed with autoremove | 12:11 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: still no luck | 12:11 |
| silv3r_m001 | ActionParsnip: let me try | 12:11 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: what happens? | 12:11 |
| silv3r_m001 | ActionParsnip: but that command has selected fortran77-compiler for removal too | 12:12 |
| silv3r_m001 | now how is that related to compiz | 12:12 |
| silv3r_m001 | ? | 12:12 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: nothing | 12:12 |
| dominic_bredoto | Does anybody know where is openvz kernel for ubuntu 8.10 | 12:12 |
| dominic_bredoto | apt-cache search linux-openvz - Did not give nothing | 12:12 |
| Tyrath_ | jrib: same thing as before | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: dpkg -l | grep fortran | 12:12 |
| syockit | hey, Luminotes seems good for use as outliner | 12:12 |
| jrib | Tyrath_: I'd give vlc a try in any case. You can change defaults for DVDs in nautilus preferences by the way | 12:12 |
| silv3r_m001 | ActionParsnip: nothing came | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: read the output then: sudo apt-get --purge remove <whatever>; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 12:13 |
| Tarelerulz | I try pdfedit and it keeps crashing | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: then its not installed or has another name | 12:13 |
| silv3r_m001 | ActionParsnip: I executed the command to remove | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m001: apt-cache search fortran | 12:13 |
| silv3r_m001 | it selected many packages | 12:13 |

| ActionParsnip | phantomcircuit: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf | 12:54 |
| Slart | phantomcircuit: that file might get rewritten by the dhcp client though so settings might not stick.. network manager is probably easier | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath_: ok and what command is creating that error. | 12:55 |
| hateball | george_: WLinstaller is windows messenger is it not? which does not run in Wine. Use !Pidgin instead | 12:55 |
| phantomcircuit | right but i cant figure out how to change the DNS server in network manager | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | hateball: the live one doesnt but the normal one can | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | phantomcircuit: just edit the simple text file, network manager isnt hugely needed | 12:56 |
| phantomcircuit | like i alreayd said | 12:56 |
| phantomcircuit | it over writes it when it connects | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | phantomcircuit: then make it read only ;) | 12:56 |
| Tyrath_ | ActionParsnip: basically when I log in on PalTalkScene an add pops up. The moment the add pops up that exception is thrown and the program freezes | 12:56 |
| Slart | phantomcircuit: check the file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, you can use the "prepend" keyword.. see man dhclient for more info about it | 12:57 |

| Daft_Punk | Slart, i think he wants a dual boot, but he wants it to default to ubuntu if no choice is given on the boot screen | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | tobago: i dont know anything more, try in #bash | 13:23 |
| daddyjunebug | that is correct daft | 13:24 |
| daddyjunebug | so what is vm? | 13:24 |
| Slart | daddyjunebug: it's called dual booting then... install windows first, then ubuntu.. you'll get a menu when you boot up | 13:24 |
| Daft_Punk | daddyjunebug, best way to do that, is to partition your hard drive into two partitions, install windows first on one of the partitions, then install ubuntu on the second partition, since you install ubuntu second it will automatically be your default OS because grub will be installed and overwrite the windows bootloader, but you should still ahve the option to boot to windows (install ubuntu on the livecd) | 13:25 |

| mick02 | Afternoon folks, am wondering if anyone can help me with a slightly OT topic. I'm nmapping my LAN but I want to grep the results so that I can output the results to a file. For example I want to nmap the LAN, find all the IP addresses that have the word LaserJet found in the results. What I've done already is nmap -O 192.168.1.1-254 | grep LaserJet > Printers.txt however that just gives me the list of printers and not the associated IP address. Can anyone t | 14:07 |
| mick02 | ell me how I would go about formulating a nmap/grep to do what I'm trying to do. Thanks in advance | 14:07 |

| Sarthor | ActionParsnip, i never tried Windwos for this, but some says windows can do this easily.. what do you think?? | 14:08 |
| shadeslayer | im installing gnome as of now | 14:08 |
| shadeslayer | compiz may or may not be able to do it | 14:08 |
| remoteCTRL | Schuenemann: well those are the lines containing the name of the controller, probably there will be some statements one or two lines above that one | 14:08 |

| felix46 | is possible change the language of Konversation? | 14:12 |
| oCean_ | mick02: well, I'm not very familiair with the nmap commando, so I am not aware of arguments to the nmap command which would do exactly that. However, some 'grep' and/or 'awk' might do the trick. If you could show me an example? Use pastebin to paste ... | 14:12 |
| Schuenemann | remoteCTRL, that's not the problem... the problem is find something in all that text | 14:13 |
| gfather | <daredevilthere> code block seems the most popular for c++ | 14:13 |
| daredevilthere | gfather: i did sudo ./eclipse but it says permission denied even with root its not working | 14:13 |
| shadeslayer | felix46: #konversation maybe | 14:13 |
| arvind_khadri | !doesntwork | daredevilthere | 14:13 |
| remoteCTRL | Schuenemann: well as soon as you have it in a txt document you can search the document and read one line above that, right? | 14:13 |
| ubottu | daredevilthere: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 14:13 |

| silv3r_m001 | ? | 14:17 |
| Slart | Asger: a little all over the place.. some subfolder of /usr mostly | 14:17 |

| vigo | Asger: Yes there is, it is in terminal or the GUI Places>HomeFolder | 14:18 |

| Slart | !freenode | 14:18 |
| shadeslayer | :O | 14:18 |
| oCean_ | mick02: ok. hang on | 14:18 |
| shadeslayer | felix46: what youre on | 14:18 |
| mick02 | oCean_, as you can see there's a lot of information there, this is typically what nmap will output with the -O switch, all I want to do is find any output that contains the word LaserJet and also to include the IP address of the printer to a file called printer.txt | 14:18 |
| Schuenemann | remoteCTRL, I'm looking now. Nothing I can relate to the problem... | 14:18 |
| Asger | allright, thx again. I'm new to irc as well, how do i put a name infront of what i'm writing, like u do with my name? | 14:19 |
| Myrtti | !tab | Asger | 14:19 |
| ubottu | Asger: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 14:19 |
| mun | does anyone know how i can use an emerald theme instead of one added via Appearance Preferences? It seems that the borders now come from the emerald theme, but the colours and icons come from the old. | 14:19 |
| Slart | Asger: well.. I type "Asg" then press tab | 14:19 |

| siege | hey guys, i need help with iptables | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Asger: type a little of it and press tab, like you can in terminal | 14:20 |
| siege | i have done this command 'sudo iptables -A INPUT -j DROP' | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | !iptables | siege | 14:20 |
| ubottu | siege: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 14:21 |
| siege | but i am still able to get incoming connections | 14:21 |
| remoteCTRL | Schuenemann: sorry to say dude, but without knowing why ubuntu disables the driver its gonna be tough to find out... | 14:21 |
| rvn | i am looking for a shell like progman (program manager) for windows, but for linux ofc, anyone know of one? | 14:21 |
| remoteCTRL | Schuenemann: in other words i am clueless | 14:21 |
| Asger | ActionParsnip, yeah. It's working now, right`? | 14:21 |
| siege | i have read the documentation on the site | 14:21 |
| siege | followed the instructions, but no go | 14:21 |
| siege | any idea? | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Asger: yes thats exactly it | 14:21 |
| vigo | Asger: Like that. ActionParsnip explained it well, or good. | 14:21 |
| oCean_ | mick02: well, that's not easy. It would be (little?) more so if the nmap only scanned ports 515 and maybe(?) 9100 | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Asger: makes my name highlight so is easier to see in the 1400 users in here | 14:22 |
| mick02 | oCean_, that problem of using the lines above or below is that the output can be different for every host on the network | 14:22 |
| oCean_ | mick02: indeed :/ | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Asger: you can tab compete in terminal too and eventualy you'll be trying to tab complete everywhere :) | 14:22 |
| Schuenemann | remoteCTRL, can't I enable it again? | 14:22 |
| mick02 | oCean_, I'll try scanning for just those ports, I guess that will work, I was just hoping that I could scan every host/port avail to make sure I don't miss out on any machines | 14:23 |
| Asger | ActionParsnip, hehe | 14:23 |
| remoteCTRL | Schuenemann: doesnt seem to me, anyways i gotta run for the bus, sry m8 | 14:23 |
| oCean_ | mick02: It's too bad the output varies so much. | 14:24 |

| mick02 | oCean_, I know what you mean, there ahs to be a way to do this though | 14:24 |
| * Wimpog wants to know if anybody took Ubuntu Certification exam | 14:25 | |
| Silvard | is there such a thing? | 14:25 |
| oCean_ | mick02: well, maybe it's possible to scan "per-host". Meaning to run nmap through a loop (for each host in iprange) and output only if port 515 is 'interesting' (e.g. listens) | 14:25 |
| felix46 | how i can change my pass of my nick? | 14:26 |
| mick02 | oCean_, that's handy enough with the -p switch in nmap i.e. nmap 192.168.1.1-254 -p515 | 14:26 |

| mick02 | oCean_, aren't related to my interests | 14:38 |
| jrib | mick02: "grep for 2 patterns" is ambiguous | 14:38 |
| mick02 | jrib, in this case it is something that I would need to do as all the lines that I'm looking for will have both patterns in the output | 14:39 |
| felix46 | when is the most feature of ubuntu 8.10 respect of the 8.04? | 14:39 |

| ActionParsnip | mick02: then sudo nmap -O 192.168.1.1-254 | grep Interesting should do you | 14:39 |

| mick02 | ActionParsnip, when I did that I just got http://pastebin.com/f78b93446 | 14:41 |

| ActionParsnip | Carstairs: what is the output of: lspci | grep VGA | 14:41 |
| mun | do emerald themes control the colour of windows and texts? | 14:41 |
| Slart | Rencx: mm.. it sounds useful.. but I don't know of any app that does that | 14:41 |
| mick02 | jrib can I use both the greps in one after another, if I do will I just be passing a result like http://pastebin.com/f78b93446 | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | psixolog: try: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree | 14:41 |
| mick02 | to the second grep? | 14:41 |
| Asger | how do i open an iso file? do i need a special program? | 14:41 |
| Slart | !mountiso | Asger | 14:42 |
| oCean_ | mick02: this will work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121875/ | 14:42 |
| ubottu | Asger: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify downloaded ISO images using !MD5 before !burning. | 14:42 |
| jrib | mick02: well you use them how I said... COMMAND | grep A | grep B | 14:42 |

| oCean_ | mick02: however, it's the two-step I suggested. | 14:42 |

| Carstairs | will look thanks | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Asger: you can mount it | 14:42 |
| arvind_khadri | mick02, if you want both the patterns to be matched at the same instance... "and" in grep is & | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Asger: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/cdrom0 | 14:43 |
| oCean_ | mick02: I myself did not search for printer, but ftp, and ended up with: "/tmp/192.168.1.3321/tcp open ftp" | 14:43 |
| mick02 | oCean_, I'll give your script a shot and see how I go | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Asger: then you will see the data in the iso in /mdea/cdrom0 | 14:43 |
| mick02 | arvind_khadri, I'll also try the & .... thanks jrib, ActionParsnip and oCean_ for your help and suggestions | 14:44 |
| jrib | & is not and in grep... | 14:44 |

| incubii | sanity, it could be IO issues. Maybe you are waiting for disk operations to finish ? | 15:22 |
| Jufis | ahh, got it to work. I just mounted it back to my windows machine and hit the "safely remove" button and then plugged it back into ubuntu. Seems like ubuntu doesn't like if the drive has been removed without "safely remove harddrive" thing. | 15:22 |
| sanity | incubii: the Java garbage collector shouldn't touch the disk - unless its swapping. would that explain it? | 15:23 |
| sanity | incubii: I mean, could swapping explain a 9 second delay? | 15:23 |
| incubii | sanity, if it were swapping then it would be an IO issues | 15:23 |

| sujr | LjL, so sorry, bit confused here. i hope it can have a pc-to-pc calls with cli feature | 15:25 |

| mrga_cro | http://pastebin.com/m1c261150 | 15:27 |
| LjL | sanity: i don't know of a resource, i can tell you roughly (but i might be wrong too) that "VIRT" is what the process has allocated in total, "RES" is what is actually in RAM, "SHR" is what was allocated as shared memory with other programs | 15:28 |

| Kingsy101 | this is going to sound like an odd question but does anyone know a decent audio oscillator for ubuntu to output square waves? | 15:31 |
| LjL | sanity: actually, it seems it does, because the manpage actually says that VIRT = SWAP + RES, so the swapped-out portion should simply be VIRT-RES (i thought VIRT also included allocated-but-as-yet-unused pages) | 15:31 |
| LjL | sanity: search for "swapped size" in the manpage | 15:31 |

| mrga_cro | ok i'll search for an answer:D | 15:32 |
| acidx | gfather, there's no graphic benchmark in hardinfo yet. | 15:32 |
| Bodsda | How do i install flash for hardy 64 bit? | 15:32 |
| sanity | LjL: hmm, well - just now in my process VIRT is 7843m, and RES is 2.1g - could that mean most of my app is swapped out? I'm not sure why it would do that when apparently there is 5g free memory | 15:32 |
| gfather | <acidx | 15:33 |
| gfather | acidx how can i know i working like it should | 15:33 |
| LjL | sanity: no that doesn't make sense to me, i thought VIRT should always be bigger than RES. i need to look better | 15:33 |
| Kingsy101 | this is going to sound like an odd question but does anyone know a decent audio oscillator for ubuntu to output square waves? | 15:33 |
| sanity | LjL: well, VIRT is bigger than RES in this case | 15:33 |
| a2z | acidx how about interactivity benchmark | 15:34 |
| acidx | gfather, what's happening? | 15:34 |
| LjL | sanity: err... yes of course it is. i read the numbers wrong :> | 15:34 |
| dougl | Kingsy101, what frequency? | 15:34 |
| acidx | a2z, what's this? | 15:34 |
| LjL | sanity: so yes, it *should* mean that most of your app is swapped out, at least according to the manpage | 15:34 |
| Kingsy101 | dougl - pretty low, a change in wave every couple of seconds | 15:34 |
| gfather | acidx it lags sometime | 15:34 |
| a2z | if i want to check the interactivity of the system | 15:34 |
| LjL | sanity: but i still suspect somehow that VIRT might also include things that aren't really swapped out, but are simply allocated-and-as-of-yet-unused | 15:34 |
| Bodsda | How do i install flash for hardy 64 bit? | 15:34 |
| sanity | LjL: that doesn't make a lot of sense - why would it swap out over half my app when it has so much free space? | 15:34 |
| sanity | LjL: right | 15:34 |
| gfather | like i know it should work very good , but the feel of something wronge | 15:34 |
| sanity | LjL: is there a better command than top for investigating per-process memory/swap usage? | 15:35 |
| LjL | sanity: mind, the manpage doesn't say that, but looking at my own process table, i do suspect that's the case | 15:35 |
| hmw | Kingsy101 - i dont know a fitting linux software for that, but you can get FruityLoops and run it it wine, it has some synthies that might do what you want (v3.x runs in wine, higher versions, i dont know) | 15:35 |

| gfather | acidx no | 15:35 |
| acidx | gfather, it should be in Applications -> System Tools -> System Profiler and Benchmark | 15:36 |

| letalis | well if it worked before the dual screen setup and doesnt now, it has added a line for the virtual screen resulution at line 30, if you can comment that out and compiz works after that there thats where the research needs to start, why compiz has issues on the 965 in dual screen mode | 16:16 |
| kristian1 | i have installed ubuntu 8.10 desktop i386, and have installed hardware drivers and done sudo apt-get update & upgrade, im behind a router. am i some what secure or should i look into software for more protection? | 16:17 |
| letalis | if you comment it out and you stil have compiz blowing chunks then t may go a lot deeper than a resolution change | 16:17 |
| Zak28 | letalis: ye it worked great before dual screen...so i need to put # before on line 30? | 16:17 |
| kristian1 | i assume that sudo apt-get update/upgrade will upgrade my firefox and not only ubuntu. | 16:17 |
| letalis | i know that this acer laptop has issues with compiz and full screen programs that take advantage of the hardware, i believe this one has a GM4500 in it. | 16:17 |
| Zak28 | ah ok this laptop is a Hp550 btw | 16:18 |
| RyanMc_ | kristian, you should be fine and update/upgrade will update all packages ont eh system | 16:18 |
| letalis | Zak28: as far as commenting, yeah at line 30 just put a # before that line | 16:18 |
| Zak28 | Letalis: shall i put # on line 30?? | 16:18 |
| Zak28 | thx i try guess it needs a reboot after | 16:18 |

| kristian1 | danbhfive_jaunty : all better on laptop, however when i installed ubuntu i made a partition using the maximum of hdd. so i got some note about making some free hdd, not sure what the note ment since im not too technical. ;-) | 16:34 |
| lamba | lo all, does anyone know what package in ubuntu will make an apache server render a PHTML file correctly ? | 16:35 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | kristian1: how much ram you got? | 16:35 |
| Seveas | lamba, depends on what a 'phtml' file is. It could be php with a weird extension, or some other language | 16:35 |
| lamba | its from the default index page of a nagios installation. | 16:36 |
| kristian1 | danbhfive_jaunty : laptop = 2gb and old stationary = 512mb | 16:36 |
| BOZG | zer0o: What programmes have you tried? I think EasyTag works with mp4. | 16:36 |
| Seveas | lamba, nagios 2 or 3? | 16:36 |
| lamba | last time (on desktop ubuntu) i didnt have this problem. now, using server version of hardy, i get firefox saying it cant open a phtml file, so im assuming the apache isnt rendering it correctly due to missing a plugin ? | 16:36 |
| lamba | 3 | 16:36 |
| mercutio22 | How cpu % does firefox consume when watching youtube videos? I get like 70%... is that normal? | 16:37 |

| Seveas | bbelt16ag, then you enabled that :) | 16:38 |
| bbelt16ag | I'll pstebin you can compare it | 16:39 |
| Matic | lamba, add this AddType application/x-httpd-php .php in your apache configuration file | 16:39 |
| savvas | bbelt16ag: the default list is at /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu/sample/sources.list | 16:39 |

| kristian1 | danbhfive_jaunty : alright thanks though :-) | 16:39 |
| bbelt16ag | k | 16:39 |
| BOZG | zer0o: Have you tried EasyTag? I've generally found that it's pretty good for mass renaming. I normally use it after I've gotten a discography. | 16:40 |
| savvas | bbelt16ag: you can remove your current list and replace it: sudo cp /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu/sample/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list; sudo apt-get update | 16:40 |
| Seveas | Matic, lamba has .phtml files, not .php. And I'd be *really* surprised if nagios suddenly is php :) | 16:40 |

| DavidVWallin | hmw: purge in which contex? apt-get or? | 16:44 |
| hmw | DavidVWallin yea | 16:44 |
| Matic | lamba, AddType application/x-httpd-php .php(sorry I meant here .phtml) | 16:44 |
| DavidVWallin | hmw: the problem is that i dont know exactly which packages it was and he doesn't know either | 16:44 |

| glitsj16 | DavidVWallin: perhaps you can find out what got installed/updated using the history in synaptic | 16:45 |
| Matic | Seveas, lamba AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .phps as well does the trick | 16:45 |
| Seveas | Matic, .phps is generally used to avoid the script being interpreted so one can download the php source (s is for source). So better not AddType that extension :-) | 16:46 |

| DavidVWallin | savvas: still doesn't work | 16:59 |
| savvas | DavidVWallin: ubuntu hardy 8.04? | 16:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | trygg the problem is that you are changing all the drive letters adding a drive below the others.. if you add the new drive as third drive it would not be changing the others | 16:59 |
| sipior | freegoo: just "a+rwx" will do | 16:59 |
| Pici | farciarz84: caca-utils or libaa-bin may have what you're looking for. | 16:59 |
| hmw | trygg - these mixups occur on many machines due to BIOS swapping drives around. You can make it stable by addressing the drives by their UUID. the /dev/sdc1 way isnt always constant | 16:59 |
| DavidVWallin | savvas: but i mean, it should work with vesa right? | 16:59 |

| Seveas | TheEdge_, boot into windows and do a checkdisk | 17:03 |
| glitsj16 | DavidVWallin: use your favo editor to add that line to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, like sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. add "BusID "PCI:0:3:0" to the device section, where you commented the nvidia driver | 17:04 |
| TheEdge_ | Seveas: problem is that i can't boot in to windows | 17:04 |
| WesGrant | Where is the best place to ask svn lock related questions? | 17:04 |
| hmw | trygg - i suspect your windows drive to be hd(2,x). your windows entry in menu.lst seems to swap hd(0) with hd(2) already. please tell me, what drive is which in terms of "primary-master" aso. | 17:04 |
| WesGrant | I want to lock a directory | 17:04 |
| WesGrant | possible? | 17:04 |

| felix46 | i need translate Konversation, i have file .po of the language, what i did? | 17:05 |
| WesGrant | i cant find #svn | 17:05 |
| Seveas | TheEdge_, well then you're screwed. The filesystem is unclean and ubuntu cannot fix that | 17:05 |
| trygg | hmw: the ide is primary slave ide, and grub is on 3rd sata and i also have a 4th sata | 17:05 |
| WesGrant | i'm an idiot | 17:05 |
| WesGrant | i found it. | 17:05 |
| WesGrant | thanks. | 17:05 |
| Pici | WesGrant: Okay :) | 17:05 |
| oCean_ | TheEdge_: depends on how important the data is for you. The mount command has a force option, which will try to mount the device, but you might end up with a corrupted filesystem | 17:05 |
| DavidVWallin | glitsj16: so pretty much just a new row which says BusID "PCI:0:3:0" ? | 17:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | trygg Also be aware that mixing ide and sata can have a whole set of issues to go with it | 17:05 |
| Seveas | Jack_Sparrow, including the issue he is seeing :-) | 17:06 |
| TheEdge_ | oCean_ : also tried that but don't work | 17:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 17:06 |
| trygg | Jack_Sparrow: i have had the same setup before i reformated though, for 2 years :) | 17:06 |
| sipior | TheEdge_: still got your windows disk? you can boot from that and fix the filesystem, i would imagine | 17:06 |
| felix46 | i need translate Konversation, i have file .po of the language, what i did? | 17:06 |
| glitsj16 | DavidVWallin: exactly, i can't tell whether you will need PCI:0:3:0 or PCI:0:4:0, as your log mentions both, easily tried with either one i guess | 17:06 |
| hmw | Jack_Sparrow trygg - am i mistaken, that in such a situation a race condition occurs? or can trygg just find the right hd() settings and leave them changed? | 17:07 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | TheEdge_: maybe ntfsfix will work? | 17:07 |
| TheEdge_ | sipior: when i try to boot from the windows cd it starts but when the blue install screen comes up.. nothing happens | 17:07 |
| Seveas | hmw, a race condition might very well happen there, but iirc it's unlikely | 17:07 |
| savvas | DavidVWallin: I have nvidia and installed the driver, I tried as you did to restart gnome and couldn't, a reboot of the machine fixed it. | 17:08 |
| TheEdge_ | danbhfive_jaunty: where do i get that | 17:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hmw On some systems you cant tell which will show up as sda to the bios so one boot sata will be sda and the next ide master 1 will be primary boot | 17:08 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | TheEdge_: are you sure your harddrive or mobo isn't biting the dust? | 17:08 |
| Seveas | TheEdge_, or memory | 17:08 |
| hmw | Jack_Sparrow Seveas trygg - how would you approach this? i would just try different hd() settings usually, but if the drives swap randomly, you will only boot every now and then. | 17:09 |
| Seveas | hmw, I wouldn't mix ide and sata :) | 17:09 |
| hmw | oh my. | 17:09 |
| TheEdge_ | danbhfive_jaunty: i think it is all working.. had no problem last night.. i even get the error when i try to mount a external usb harddrive | 17:10 |
| trygg | its wierd because it has been working flawlessly before | 17:10 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | TheEdge_: cause if there is a hardware failure, trying to repair your partition may do more damage than fixing. But, I kinda suck at tracking down hardware problems | 17:10 |
| hmw | trygg - thats not a big surprise - these changes dont happen always | 17:10 |
| trygg | bugger. | 17:10 |
| hmw | trygg - i am out of ideas, will start a google search on the topic | 17:11 |

| hmw | trygg - did you read grub doku already? | 17:12 |
| trygg | hmw: i am now, the only thing i can see that can be something is makeactive | 17:12 |
| TheEdge_ | danbhfive_jaunty: yeah it really suck when you have to track a hardware problem.. every thing else in Ubuntu works fine.. only mount of harddrives that is my problem | 17:12 |
| hmw | trygg - someone found, that if he changed the boot order in the bios, he got it reliable. not a convinient solution, though. | 17:14 |

| n8wood | My Gnome theme doesn't load after reboots occasionally. As soon as I open Appearance, it resets and I see it again. Any ideas. | 17:42 |
| dimebar | n8wood: which theme? | 17:44 |
| alarm | hello, i am trying to install the java plugin for firefox. but i do not see any available package with the name sun-java6-plugin . (i got jdk installed , but i do not see anything about the plugin) | 17:44 |
| n8wood | dimebar: Actually the theme doesn't matter, I've tried multiples. It does the same with all. | 17:44 |
| kristian1 | glitsj16 : i just renamed files in this way, artist - year - album - tracknumber (0114) - artist, so the tracknumber no longer includes the -, then set in preference to 4 digit, and now i get what i want, except for the -, which i don't really need, so problem solved. :-) | 17:45 |
| n8wood | it's like its not reading any of my Gnome settings, because the fonts get reset too. | 17:45 |
| kristian1 | glitsj16 : thanks! :-) | 17:45 |

| Carstairs | erm.... blank screen | 17:58 |
| RPS | Hello Guys, I'm a 8.10 user and I'm baffled at the moment. I have XChat and Firefox open with about 14 tabs (I know that is a little bit of a load,) but my dual core processor is stressed out. I'm only using 20% of my ram, but the one side of the cpu will show 100% usage while the other one is about 20%, then every 15 to 20 seconds they will change (100% to 20% and 20% to 100%) I have the system monitor running and that's where I'm getti | 17:58 |
| RPS | ng the numbers from. | 17:58 |
| DarkKnight | is there no one else who can add to that | 17:58 |
| jussi01 | daredevilthere: no, just put them in 1 directory, then cd to the directory, then do: sudo dpkg -i *.deb | 17:58 |
| daredevilthere | jussi01: thanks | 17:59 |

| ubottu | bertolo: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 18:01 |
| fr33ze | DarkKnight: depending on what you plan on in the future might make a big impact as well, if you plan on updating to 4GB or more RAM; 64bit is a must cause 32 cant handle it. but for overall usage 32bit is much more integrated | 18:01 |

| vigo | Carstairs: I had that problem , I had to use the restore function, one trick I learned was do NOT install the proprietary ATI as is suggested on the taskbar, just boot, then use Synaptic to find the drivers that will work. | 18:04 |
| DarkKnight | fr33ze; i am planning to install virtualbox on this and have 3-4 OS's so would there be any problem with a 32 bit for this | 18:04 |
| jussi01 | Carstairs: I suggest you use the live cd to get to your file system, then remove your changes to the xorg | 18:05 |
| RPS | sipior, my laptop is acting sluggish and I've not seen it act like this ...it may be over heated a bit, but I leave it running all the time on the same surface and I've not seen it act like this. I'll also add that I rebooted the unit this morning, so its had a reboot recently | 18:05 |

| dethstar | I just got a dell studio 540 (slim).. everything works flawless out of the box except for sound. Anyone have any ideas? | 18:40 |
| dethstar | looks like it's a Realtek ALC888 | 18:41 |
| RichardWolfVI | Hey, I'm unable to get to a wireless network because it times out. | 18:41 |
| dethstar | I saw that the issue has been solved for the tower pc's... but not for the slim ones :( | 18:41 |
| Frenchie | is there any one here that knows networking in ubuntu? | 18:42 |
| sebsebseb | Frenchie: what kind of networking? | 18:42 |
| RichardWolfVI | I guess extending the timeout would make me able to connect to such network, how do I do that? | 18:42 |
| ezerhoden | dethstar: sucks, what is the audio ? | 18:42 |
| sipior | Frenchie: best if you just state your problem concisely | 18:42 |
| dethstar | ezerhoden, I suppose it's an Intel HDA.. | 18:42 |

| Frenchie | well when ever i try to transfer large files ie. >2gig or i try to read and write simultaniously over my network to my ubuntu machine from my mac through netatalk, my network card on the ubuntu machine locks up and i need to pull it out and plug it back in(it's pcmcia gigabit ethernet) | 18:45 |
| glitsj16 | dethstar: reading your remark about the issue being fixed for tower pc's, does that mean the proposed fix at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=969611 doesn't work for you ? | 18:45 |
| dethstar | glitsj16, you are correct. | 18:45 |
| sipior | Frenchie: what do you mean when you say that the card locks up? | 18:46 |
| dethstar | glitsj16, I am running 64bit intrepid.. if that makes any difference. | 18:47 |
| Frenchie | the lights turn off it disconects and ubuntu says it's not connected and i can no longer see my ubuntu machine from mac | 18:47 |

| markl__ | Tuxprobe: that should work, i have done it before | 18:49 |
| glitsj16 | dethstar: don't know if that's a factor, i was trying to get to the bug report mentioned on that forum page https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4299, but it needs an account it seems, sorry to be of no help whatsoever :) | 18:49 |

| Blinkiz | I have the mail server Zimbra setup on a ubuntu server machine. Problem is that zimbra is doing a login as root every 50 second and runs a command that is allowed in the /etc/sudoers file. It fills my syslog server up. I know I can exclude auth but that means I don't see if "real" users login as root. So, how can I get rid of this automated login as root? | 18:50 |
| sipior | Frenchie: also, which card and driver? | 18:50 |
| soier | in my ubuntu system ! | 18:50 |
| Frenchie | Sipior: hmm never thought to look... i assumed it was a hard ware problem baisically i was looking for confirmation do you think there would be logs? | 18:51 |

| markl__ | Tuxprobe: it's been years since i have set it up. iirc, i just went into gdm.conf and added another screen for :1 | 18:52 |
| sipior | Frenchie: the kernel is usually smart enough to write something down when it has a hardware problem, assuming it gets the chance...have a look in /var/log/dmesg and the like. might be worthwhile grepping for your driver name and/or interface name. | 18:52 |

| markl__ | Tuxprobe: in fact it looks like the hardy gdm.conf has an example that is commented out | 18:54 |
| Flannel | piloten1975: If this is a fresh install, you'll want to `sudo apt-get install vim` first. The default 'vim' isn't a proper vim. | 18:54 |
| soier | Tuxprobe: I mean when I type df -h it say that: dev/sda2 size 5gb used 4.7gb tmpfs size 252 mb used 516k. The question is: Can I change tmpfs size and thus increase dev/sda2 | 18:54 |
| Tuxprobe | markl__ well ok.. its not really bcuz i want two screens, i need to X's one for CTRL+ALT+F8 and one for CTRL+ALT+F7 | 18:54 |

| markl__ | Tuxprobe: in the [servers] section add 1=Standard | 18:55 |

| Tuxprobe | markl_ but its not really for gdm to decide if two X's should be running. I want to be able to start a new X when entering remote desktop (vnc, vmware etc) | 18:56 |

| ali_ | i have installed ubuntu and dont know how to boot vista agian | 20:49 |
| jonaskoelker | ali_: we heard you :) | 20:49 |
| Cotowar | did you do a full install, or did you partition? | 20:49 |
| Linux_Time | vista should be in the Bootloader? ;o | 20:49 |
| Cotowar | what he said ^ | 20:49 |
| Izinucs | unless you did a full install and wiped vista off the face of the earth/machine | 20:50 |
| DeannaT2 | ali_, do you have made a dualboot? 2 partitions? | 20:50 |

| Huufarted | need a small bit of desperate help, folks. Can someone help me fix this issue? I think it's with a partially downloaded (and apparently vital) dependency, but I'm not sure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/122017/ | 20:50 |

| Cotowar | my sound card worked yesterday, but now it does not. how might i change the sound settings back to default? | 20:50 |

| georgez | I am having trouble with the wired interface of a laptop on 8.10 | 20:51 |
| georgez | it worked upon install of 8.10, but when i updated the packages it would no longer obtain the address | 20:51 |
| big-g | Cotowar: or look for .asoundrc anywhere. and if not make one in your home directory | 20:51 |
| illumin8 | Huufarted, did you run sudo apt-get update prior to the upgrade? | 20:51 |
| calamari | georgez: have you got any other info on why it isnt working? | 20:51 |
| Huufarted | georgez: so the problem is that it won't get an IP address via DHCP on a wired network? | 20:51 |
| Huufarted | illumin8, yes and it went through fine | 20:52 |
| wtf22 | is there a reason why one would want to run debian instead of ubuntu? | 20:52 |
| Cotowar | big-g: what am i doing with it once i have it/find it? | 20:52 |
| illumin8 | Huufarted, looking to see if i can tell whats wrong be right with you | 20:52 |
| Huufarted | wtf22, Ubuntu is Debian, just with specific packages added | 20:52 |
| big-g | Cotowar: google .asoundrc and get some samples. | 20:52 |
| Huufarted | illumin8, you're a peach. :) | 20:52 |
| Cotowar | wtf22, debian is more secure from my understanding as well | 20:52 |
| oskar- | wtf22: debian is perhaps a bit more of the pure spirit? | 20:52 |
| big-g | Cotowar: use aplay -l to get your soundcard info | 20:52 |

| Huufarted | lol, oh boy... if you aren't sure if you created multiple partitions, then you're in WAY over your head. | 20:54 |
| illumin8 | Huufarted, are you attempting to convert to gnome from some other desktop manager? | 20:54 |
| Cotowar | wtf22, as i said, it was just from my understanding. i wasn't sure | 20:54 |
| ali__ | what is the solution? | 20:55 |
| Cotowar | wtf22, :) | 20:55 |
| Huufarted | illumin8, no. I attempted to update gtk2+, was told it needed glib, pango, atk, cairo, so I apparently screwed up that. | 20:55 |
| wtf22 | heh. i would gladly run gen2 | 20:55 |
| MIrrorIMage | Hi, is there a shortcut to look if a user is currently on the channel besides scrolling up & down? Thanks! | 20:55 |

| Silicium | incubii: thanks | 20:55 |
| quibbler | Silicium: F9 or view check side panel | 20:55 |
| illumin8 | Huufarted, i dont think it was you, the error calls almost all refrence creation of symbolic links in gnome | 20:55 |
| Huufarted | illumin8, after the next reboot, that's what I get and I'm stuck at the command line. The real problem I think is a dependency is screwed up (or GTK2 itself) and GNOME itself won't load | 20:56 |

| Freddy2 | i'm trying to establish a static ip address in ubuntu 8.10, and i can do it with the network manager applet, but after rebooting the interface always goes back to dhcp.. there is a dhcp server running in this network, but anyway it doesn't make sense.. can't i get it done without having to uninstall the network manager? (this way it works, of course) | 20:58 |
| Huufarted | illumin8, lol 'sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev' gives me the same thing | 20:58 |
| illumin8 | Huufarted, nope thats got issues for you | 20:58 |
| Huufarted | so I see, illumin8. | 20:58 |
| Huufarted | illumin8, do I download the .deb and force dpkg to install it? | 20:58 |
| illumin8 | Huufarted, you will want to manually download the gtk-2.0 then drag/drop it into the theme | 20:58 |
| Huufarted | illumin8, no dragging and dropping here. No GNOME. | 20:59 |

| quibbler | Droopsta915: system-administration-users and groups unlock manage groups look for vboxusers if it is not there make add the users you wish | 21:27 |
| Slart | Jampiter: there are some tools.. but it depends on what kind of motherboard you have.. some tools only work with certain hardware | 21:28 |
| pjsturgeon | how to set the root mysql password? I have googled many times and im getting some errors | 21:28 |
| guntbert | Frenchie: it *could* be a hardware failure, did you try with "another" live CD (knoppix,...)? | 21:28 |

| jonaskoelker | my firefox crashes whenever I play sound from flash videos (error message: http://rafb.net/p/eB2SJt64.html). How can I fix it? | 21:30 |
| guntbert | pjsturgeon: have you seen http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/resetting-permissions.html ? (google is your friend :-)) | 21:30 |
| jonaskoelker | How can I control which sound output (alsa/pulse/oss) the flash plugin uses? | 21:30 |
| Slart | Jampiter: I can't recommend any special software since I just run my fans from the BIOS | 21:30 |
| Frenchie | slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/122059/ | 21:30 |
| Jampiter | Slart: I'll look in my BIOS for fan speed settings | 21:30 |
| Slart | jonaskoelker: I think flash uses what firefox uses.. and that can be set using a setting in "about:config" | 21:30 |
| pjsturgeon | guntbert not so sure it is, but I tried them anyway ;-) | 21:30 |
| Tao | Hello. I'm having an issue disabling the system beep. I have tried rmmod pcspkr and blacklisting it but it still persists. Any suggestions? | 21:30 |
| pjsturgeon | modified an example, got it going | 21:30 |
| Assid | whats up with the updates | 21:31 |
| stryd_one | i've just updated my jre/plugin/jdk/etc from the sun installer via java-package (aka make-jpkg)... Firefox still loads the old plugin, everything else is cool. all the links are correct in the firefox dirs... the only strange thing i can find is that update-alternatives sees all three java versions i have installed, and update-java-alternatives only shows the original ubuntu one. any clues? | 21:31 |
| jonaskoelker | Slart: what's the pref name? | 21:31 |
| Assid | i just tried to update.. and stupid thing is crashing appications now | 21:31 |

| rdz | what is the default GNOME way to take a screenshot of a window? | 21:31 |
| KenBW2 | rdz: PrtScn button | 21:32 |
| jonaskoelker | rdz: prt scrn plus some modifier (I think) | 21:32 |
| erichammond | Tao: sudo modprobe -r pcspkr | 21:32 |
| Tao | Trying now. | 21:32 |
| oskar- | rdz: try alt+print screen | 21:33 |
| glitsj16 | sadaiyappan: checkgmail uses a few perl encryption packages behind the scenes to ensure regular safety saving your password | 21:33 |
| jonaskoelker | Tao: the cheap solution is "xset r off" | 21:33 |
| Slart | Frenchie: looks like something crashes.. have you googled for that "CPU#0 stuck for 61s!" error message? | 21:33 |
| erichammond | Tao: What Ubuntu version? | 21:33 |
| jonaskoelker | Tao: that only disables it under X, and you have to rerun it for every session (so put it in a startup script) | 21:33 |
| sadaiyappan | ok | 21:33 |
| Tao | Ubuntu Studio which has a particularly annoying flavor of beep. | 21:33 |
| Frenchie | nope i wasn't even sure if that was related | 21:34 |
| jonaskoelker | Slart: wouldn't it make sense that firefox doesn't know about sound natively, but lets plugins handle that? | 21:34 |
| rdz | jonaskoelker, oskar- KenBW2 thanks, but which command is called, when pressing those buttons? i would like to use it in a script | 21:34 |
| Slart | jonaskoelker: ah.. it was in /etc/firefox-3.0/firefoxrc .. there is a keyword FIREFOX_DSP= | 21:34 |
| pjsturgeon | bah didnt work. Slart http://pastie.org/397842 | 21:34 |
| jonaskoelker | rdz: no clue, but I know scrot is a scriptable screenshotter | 21:34 |
| KenBW2 | rdz: gnome-screenshot --interactive is listed in Apps/Accessoried | 21:35 |
| big-g | anyone use dell 15 laptop? | 21:35 |

| Falstius | I want to build some packages available in intrepid for hardy. I tried added the intrepid source repo and using apt-build <package> but it still tries to grab the old one. Is there a good, simple, way to do this? | 21:37 |
| pjsturgeon | i have tried using mysqladmin and sudo /etc/init.d/mysql reset-password, none of the examples are working | 21:37 |
| Bodsda | are there any decent alternatives to gdm? | 21:37 |
| syockit | xdm, gdm, there's another one... check xfce's website | 21:37 |
| SaLiH | pjsturgeon: one minute.. i send tutorial. ok? | 21:37 |
| erichammond | Tao: Sorry, the sudo line was a command to enter into a shell (Terminal) | 21:37 |
| Slart | pjsturgeon: are you sure you are doing the connection correctly? It's been a while since I messed with mysql I seem to remember there being several ways of connecting..with user/ without password/remotely/locally etc etc etc | 21:38 |
| Tao | erichammond, Yes, it was entered into terminal. | 21:38 |

| m4rk | how do I fix my dependencies in xubuntu? whenever I try to install anything, it tells me I have unmet dependencies :( should I try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 21:38 |

| pjsturgeon | slart: same as always via my GUI. it works nicely for localbox and everything else. Before I set a password i tried connecting as root with no pass, that failed | 21:38 |
| erichammond | Tao: Your error indicates it was typed into the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.save | 21:38 |
| Bodsda | m4rk, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:38 |
| Slart | jonaskoelker: http://pastebin.com/f31c31501 | 21:39 |

| stryd_one | i've just updated my jre/plugin/jdk/etc from the sun installer via java-package (aka make-jpkg)... Firefox still loads the old plugin, everything else is cool. all the links are correct in the firefox dirs... the only strange thing i can find is that update-alternatives sees all three java versions i have installed, and update-java-alternatives only shows the original ubuntu one. any clues? | 21:40 |

| reisi | does anyone remember if there's a sun java 6 _headless_ package? | 21:40 |
| Myst__ | thesaint4444, the easiest way to dual boot them is to have 2 seperate hard drives and change the boot order in the bios... that way you can rebuild whichever without affecting the system | 21:40 |
| pjsturgeon | guntbert: I remember there was a MUCH easier way to do this on my last linux box. this seems overkill | 21:40 |
| erichammond | Tao: Are you sure this is a system beep and not some sort of custom audio file in the software you're running? | 21:40 |
| Cotowar | how come when i type alsamixer -Dhw, it says my headphones are off and wont let me change it back? | 21:40 |

| amathis | hello, I am having some cache issues with firefox.. It is taking two or three refreshes to get the updated page.. since I am developing some websites this is getting annoying.. Has anyone had a problem with this as well? | 21:45 |
| oCean_ | pjsturgeon: /var/run/mysqld is where the pid (and sock) file probably is | 21:45 |
| uvacav | amathis: I've had that problem too, no idea why | 21:45 |
| guntbert | pjsturgeon: "Locate the .pid file that contains the server's process ID" means "read the following text and try to...." not "type locate .pid|grep mysql" | 21:45 |
| stryd_one | oCean_, same result in the GUI as the CLI | 21:46 |
| xchat1 | i used the shutdown -h +300 command to shut down the computer later at night, but it sometimes gives a beep, when the countdownis presented so I cant sleep | 21:47 |
| stryd_one | ewerything is correct in there, but firefox is still ignoring it, and update-java-alternatives doesn't even show the new ones as being an option, or provide any means to add the new ones | 21:47 |
| m4rk | Bodsda: it says E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? :( | 21:47 |

| jonaskoelker | Slart: doesn't work :( | 21:48 |
| pjsturgeon | if i need to know the path to it, i need to find it | 21:48 |

| pjsturgeon | cant I just kill -9 this? | 21:51 |
| oCean_ | pjsturgeon: why would you kill what? | 21:51 |
| guntbert | pjsturgeon: use sudo cat... | 21:51 |
| illumin8 | Frenchie, is your card a usb or slotted network card? | 21:51 |
| sammy | pjsturgeon: if you're getting permission denied while trying to cat that file, try using sudo cat | 21:51 |
| Myst__ | Cyntek, what kind of a guide? just a general install or specific install? | 21:51 |
| glitsj16 | amathis: did you experiment with changing about:config value http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency yet in firefox ? if you set that key to 1 it basically always checks for a new version of pages | 21:52 |
| pjsturgeon | sammy: tried that straight away, thats WITH sudo | 21:52 |

| johnnymo | I have a question about audio capture in Ubuntu 8.10.... | 21:53 |
| Cyntek | Myst__, just a guide to learn the server configurations and settings, i think i have found one, http://www.linuxinet.com/go/serverguide.pdf | 21:53 |
| sammy | so I'm doing an apt-get install, and some packages are showing up as suggested. yet none of these packages are suggested by the one I'm trying to install. where is the dependency coming from, one of the automagically installed dependencies of the original package I'm trying to install? | 21:53 |
| pjsturgeon | oCean_ well step 1 of this mad guide is to kill mysql process. I can do that easily with kill -9 but this kill command its telling me to use does not work at all | 21:53 |
| sammy | pjsturgeon: you're trying to kill mysql process? try " ps ax | grep mysqld" | 21:53 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | where do programs generally get installed when I retrieve them through Atptitude ? | 21:53 |
| Bodsda | m4rk, what country do you live in? | 21:53 |
| sammy | pjsturgeon: I don't know why root can't read your mysql'd pid file, but that should give you the PID of the mysqld process | 21:53 |
| m4rk | Bodsda: UK | 21:53 |
| pjsturgeon | sammy yea using that | 21:54 |
| pjsturgeon | :( | 21:54 |
| oCean_ | pjsturgeon: I'm not sure what guide you are following, and to what reason. I have not seen/read you problem, but I would say /etc/init.d/mysqld stop is the proper command | 21:54 |
| johnnymo | I'm running ubuntu on an IBM T22 thinkpad. Audio works, I can hear the source audio through the line input as it plays through the speakers, but no recording software can pick it up. Anyone know what might cause this? | 21:54 |
| Bodsda | m4rk, ok, try this one -- http://pastebin.com/m56fd5704 | 21:54 |
| sammy | pjsturgeon: and you should be able to shut down mysql gracefully instead, YES what oCean_ said. | 21:54 |
| nickrud | Iceman_B^Ltop, in several places, primarily /etc , /usr/bin, /usr/share, and /usr/lib . Others as well, maybe. dpkg -L <pkgname> will show details | 21:54 |
| Bodsda | m4rk, also you may want to think about upgrading to hardy | 21:54 |
| oCean_ | pjsturgeon: "pidof mysqld" will also return the mysqld pid | 21:54 |
| rockyrock | Bluez doesn't support sending files from Mobiles to ubuntu! | 21:55 |
| psicobra | myth tv kicks ass | 21:55 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | thanks nickrud | 21:55 |
| dkg | hi. can I get keyboard scancodes from /dev/input/event(x) ? | 21:55 |
| _VIM_ | O.o! I never knew about the pidof command, Very nice oCean! :) | 21:56 |
| pjsturgeon | well that goes to show the only guide thats been reccomended to me is badly made. I swear there is an easy way to set a root password for ubuntu setup | 21:56 |
| rockyrock | I added a new device to Bluez but when i browse bluetooth devices on mobile phone, i don't find my pc! | 21:56 |
| pjsturgeon | i THINK i may have set it up ok, but am having trouble checking | 21:56 |
| gfather | guys how can i make sure that i have all the right drivers and all working properly ? | 21:56 |
| nickrud | pjsturgeon, if you can log in as root, you've set it up right. | 21:56 |
| psicobra | gfather, what isn't working | 21:56 |
| oCean_ | pjsturgeon: setting mysql root pw is easy. Or did you forget the initial root pw ?? | 21:57 |
| guntbert | dkg: I use xev | 21:57 |

| [TK]D-Fender | hello all, have a remission of a problem that solved itself earlier. running FireFox on 8.10 all of my windows are opening up in a 1/2 way to full-screen mode which masks the window decorations & my Gnome panels. f11 can cycle through these 3 modes but I can't find where to go to undo however it got this way | 21:58 |
| pjsturgeon | oCean_ i have logged into the ubuntu server many times but never got into mysql | 21:59 |
| pjsturgeon | not needed to until now | 21:59 |
| gfather | amd athlon am2 3000+ , 2gb ram , 128 mb radion x300 | 21:59 |
| oCean_ | pjsturgeon: the mysql password for the root user is not necessarily the same as your own pw, which you enter using sudo | 21:59 |
| gfather | psicobra amd athlon am2 3000+ , 2gb ram , 128 mb radion x300 | 21:59 |
| psicobra | gfather, you running compiz-fusion or similar? | 21:59 |
| gfather | yes | 21:59 |
| oCean_ | pjsturgeon: when installing mysql (through apt-get) you are asked (during install) for a password to set | 21:59 |
| Cyntek | Alright, im attempting to install ubuntu server on my old pc chips computer. | 21:59 |
| pjsturgeon | oCean_ yea it will be different to my user pass | 21:59 |

| pjsturgeon | this is the built in apache, im using ubuntu server | 22:00 |
| gfather | psicobra but t has the same preformance before i enabled it | 22:00 |
| oCean_ | pjsturgeon: since this is your first login in the mysql server, there is probably no rootpw setup right now | 22:00 |
| psicobra | gfather, thats probably why if you disable compiz should improve lot | 22:00 |
| oCean_ | pjsturgeon: login using "mysql -u root" (nothing else, just that) | 22:00 |
| psicobra | if you disable compix and run glxgears what fps do you get? | 22:00 |
| pjsturgeon | oCean_ thts what i thought, i've been trying to find the command but all i can find is badly written guides | 22:00 |
| pjsturgeon | aha thanks | 22:00 |
| psicobra | *compiz | 22:00 |
| gfather | psicobra well its the same performance as before i enabled it | 22:01 |

| psicobra | cpu scling maybe? | 22:03 |
| gfather | psicobra why it dosent show its am2 and 1.8 ghz or more | 22:03 |
| oCean_ | pjsturgeon: using password yes? That implies that you gave the -p option. | 22:03 |

| Bodsda | m4rk, can you pastebin the error please | 22:04 |
| gfather | psicobra u mean power on/off ? | 22:04 |
| pjsturgeon | oCean_: ahh great after all that (im in!) its not in here anyway. sodding jinzora bollocks! | 22:05 |
| oCean_ | pjsturgeon: errr, yes. There also might be a .my.cnf configfile in your homedirectory, which overrides things. Hmmm... | 22:05 |
| gfather | crdlb really ? | 22:05 |

| === Nexos_ is now known as Nexos | ||
| crdlb | gfather: yeah, the builtin open source radeon driver can definitely run compiz on an X300 | 22:05 |

| gfather | psicobra 1800000 1000000 | 22:06 |
| crdlb | gfather: no, just see which one feels faster; fglrx technically has better 3d acceleration, but compiz needs good performance in other areas that fglrx is terrible at | 22:06 |

| sammy | smokeytheman: I think most packages handle collisions pretty well, you shouldn't end up with two competing flash plugins, I wouldn't think. but you never know when you install packages from third party sources. you can go into aptitude and search for "flash" in your installed pacakges if you're worried that might be the problem | 22:23 |
| diesel | I installed adobe reader from the adobe site and I can see that it is installed using 'dpkg -l | grep adobe' which returns adobereader-enu.

| sammy | darren_: thats something you do when you build a kernel from scratch, though that maybe be the default in the kernels installed by ubuntu. are you compiling your own kernel? | 22:24 |

| Reformer81 | smokeytheman: apt-cache search [search terms] | 22:27 |
| sammy | darren_: I belive the patches you're talking about are for the kernel, which is normally installed and updated automagically by ubuntu. there are semi-automated ways to compile a custom kernel, but that is what the process is referring to. | 22:27 |
| oCean_ | smokeytheman: then you might like the graphical frontend to alternatives. "sudo apt-get install galternatives" will install the gui. Start it with "sudo galternatives" and see... | 22:27 |

| freeflowcauvery | hi. Problem with Aptana Studio in Feisty Fawn. Installed Aptana Studio (to be able to install RadRails later). When I fire it up, I get a window that says "Error" and nothing else. Another window states that JRE1.5 required, and I've successfully installed JRE1.6.0. Any ideas what could be wrong? | 23:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !feisty | 23:00 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 23:00 |
| sebsebseb | bitsbam: with 64bit the only thing that is missing is a Java plugin for Firefox, but ways to get one | 23:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | freeflowcauvery you need a newer release | 23:00 |
| iso50 | quit | 23:01 |
| bitsbam | sebsebseb: ok, cool.. i can't righ off-hand think of anything i do with java in a browser. Kids play runescape though | 23:01 |
| bitsbam | but they have their own computer too | 23:01 |
| freeflowcauvery | Jack_Sparrow, I know. tried upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 to be able to go to 8.04. Uograde to 7.10 just stops/hangs when downloading packages.... | 23:02 |
| Slart | bitsbam: oh.. and you think it's going to be twice as fast of 64bit? don't get your hopes up too high | 23:02 |
| sebsebseb | bitsbam: oh you want your kids using Ubuntu, that's a good father | 23:02 |
| bitsbam | sebsebseb: only have linux computers in the house | 23:02 |
| sebsebseb | bitsbam: how old are they? if younger, well two good educational suites etc | 23:02 |

| spaceBARbarian | adaptr=> i have virtualbox adding my ethernet inter access to ubuntu, and i tried connecting to the inet address i got from "ifconfig" , but it doesnt work | 23:36 |
| adaptr | spaceBARbarian: use "internal network" | 23:36 |
| blizzle | spaceBARbarian, Try using the host passthrough option. | 23:36 |
| spaceBARbarian | adaptr=> what do i put for the name on the internal network ? | 23:38 |
| adaptr | spaceBARbarian: please take the time to read the virtualbox manual | 23:39 |

| bobhope | Hi, I'm trying to install libgtk2.0-dev, but when I do, it says I must downgrade all kinds of gtk packages and remove gcalctool, gimp, gnome-panel, metacity, evolution, and evince to continue, but I don't want to | 23:39 |
| adaptr | that's rather a handicap when using Unix | 23:39 |
| spaceBARbarian | well they have nothing against man pages :) | 23:40 |
| bobhope | my repositories are hardy main universe restricted multiverse | 23:40 |
| redvamp128 | spaceBARbarian: Have you tried room #vbox | 23:40 |
| spaceBARbarian | yeah no one ever replies there | 23:40 |
| bobhope | oh | 23:40 |
| tripps | where are file-type->application preferences kept in gnome? | 23:41 |
| bobhope | right click on the file | 23:41 |
| bobhope | go to properties | 23:41 |
| bobhope | change launches with by default tabe | 23:41 |
| nickrud | ldiamond, that is really strange, no tar to just unpack | 23:41 |
| ldiamond | nickrud, was there any in previous versions? | 23:42 |

| rapidsecretions | Is there an app that will organize music into folders by artist? | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | rapidsecretions: easytag | 23:42 |
| tripps | bobhope, not sure if your response was to me - if so, it's not a file, but file from the web. changing app prefs in FF didn't change the association | 23:42 |
| === xchat is now known as sergei1987 | ||
| nickrud | ldiamond, can't swear when they stopped using them; I've used it since staroffice 5.2 and used tarballs often; but ubuntu has spoiled me and also stunted my intelligence ;( | 23:42 |
| === Cobra_Slow is now known as Cobra_Fast | ||
| __david | tripps, sorry, yes, i was responding to you. do you mean you changed FF's prefs, or gnome's prefs? | 23:43 |
| === __david is now known as bobhope | ||
| tripps | __david, changed FF prefs but didn't change association. mp3 streams still launching in xine instead of asking me. This started after I upgraded to ibex | 23:43 |
| bobhope | tripps, save the mp3 stream to disk first | 23:44 |
| jontoenn | !samba | 23:44 |
| 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. | 23:44 |
| bobhope | tripps, then right click on the file in gnome and change the prefs there. it's the 3rd or 4th tab, iirc | 23:44 |

| bobhope | Can anyone help me with this issue? I'm trying to install libgtk2.0-dev, but when I do, it says I must downgrade all kinds of gtk packages and remove gcalctool, gimp, gnome-panel, metacity, evolution, and evince to continue, but I don't want to. my repositories are hardy main universe restricted multiverse | 23:44 |
| tripps | bobhope, I can't! it *always* launches xine plugin no matter what | 23:44 |
| jerware | hi | 23:45 |
| redvamp128 | tripps: what would you like firefox to use? | 23:45 |
| tripps | redvamp128, nothing. I want it to present the dialog like before | 23:45 |
| erUSUL | tripps: uninstall the xine plugin and install one of the others (mplayer or totem ) | 23:45 |
| tripps | erUSUL, I have all those apps installed. I don't want it to use any of them | 23:46 |
| bobhope | tripps, sorry, i didn't understand what you meant. I thought it was presenting the dialog w/ the wrong default opener highlighted. | 23:46 |
| redvamp128 | tripps: it started with an upgrade-- try running firefox -profilemanger (could be a corruption of the profile when you upgraded) | 23:46 |
| jontoenn | if installing ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop, would it automatically find WLAN? Will it be able to connect to internet? The router is a SpeedTouch69B412 | 23:46 |
| redvamp128 | tripps: then set your defaults in edit- preferences- applications to always ask. there | 23:47 |
| rapidsecretions | erUSUL: how do I sort music into folders by artist with easytag? | 23:47 |
| tripps | redvamp128, I set it there to always ask. still launches xine. do I need to restart FF? | 23:47 |
| jerware | im trying to get this installed http://www.besy.co.uk/debian/debian_gnu_linux_ihtml_howto | 23:47 |
| tripps | that would seem silly IMHO | 23:47 |
| jerware | im in dependancy hell. it cant find a libodbc.so | 23:48 |
| redvamp128 | tripps: not restart-- What I think has happened -- is when you upgraded-- something went bad in the firefox profile- So I suggest -- starting firefox with "firefox -profilemanger" and create a new profile and change the settings there. | 23:48 |
| ma3x | why is ubuntu uninstallable on lenovo thinkpad t400? xorg doesnt start | 23:48 |
| bobhope | rapidsecretions, if you already use amarok, you can just right click the files and click "organize file". That'll sort your collection automatically. ctrl-a will highlight your whole library, you can apply it all at once | 23:48 |
| ma3x | i tried safe mode graphics, didn't work either | 23:48 |
| nickrud | !find libodbc.so | jerware | 23:48 |

| tripps | redvamp128, what will happen to all my bookmarks, saved passwords, prefs, etc.? | 23:49 |
| zhengyonggen | how are you | 23:49 |
| anathematic | j linux | 23:49 |
| nickrud | jerware, probably unixodbc would be the right choice | 23:49 |
| anathematic | oops @_@ | 23:49 |
| markginter24 | just installed Jaunty - and my System--> Logout option disappeared. Bug or "Feature" ? | 23:49 |
| rww | !jaunty | markginter24 | 23:50 |
| ubottu | markginter24: 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. | 23:50 |
| rapidsecretions | bobhope: I'd rather not install a bunch of KDE library files on my GNOME install if there are other ways to organize music | 23:50 |
| markginter24 | rww - thanks | 23:50 |
| redvamp128 | tripps: by doing that method it will still be there-- you haven't removed them-- once you see it works then export your passwords- favorites - (I would not import your prefeences because something could be wrong there) | 23:50 |
| Carstairs | how can i restore my lost xorg.config so i can boot from ubuntu? need to know how to mount drive c etc come on guys i have been trying to sort this for nearly a week. freeflow i have lost you! | 23:51 |
| redvamp128 | tripps: to switch between the profiles you would firefox -profilemanger | 23:51 |
| tripps | redvamp128, ugh that's really frustrating :-/ | 23:51 |
| redvamp128 | tripps: Judging by what you have said - It seems as if a firefox profile is bad. | 23:52 |

| Mip5 | Hey Gang - I have edubuntu 8.04 installed and / is on raid1 /dev/md0. I marked a disk as failed and removed, and shutdown the system. Now on power back up, I get a message that /dev/md0 is missing | 23:53 |
| Flannel | Carstairs: Just choose 'recovery console' from the GRUB menu. You don't have to mount anything, just copy the files back to their appropriate locations (with cp) | 23:54 |
| ravendark | jontoenn: have you booted the live cd to see if its detected? | 23:54 |
| Carstairs | ok thanks will try it | 23:54 |
| Mip5 | you guys are awesome! - I'm in BusyBox - can I do a recovery from here or do I need the live cd? | 23:54 |
| tripps | redvamp128, still does it! new profile, change app->prefs, still xine | 23:54 |
| cheekee | ok | 23:54 |
| === welp is now known as Steffy | ||
| tripps | redvamp128, it would seem to me then it's a gnome issue | 23:55 |
| tripps | just by process of elimination | 23:55 |
| tripps | isn't there a dialog somewhere with the default applications by file type? | 23:55 |
| redvamp128 | tripps: yes find that file type-- right click on it choose properties then open with tab and change it there. | 23:55 |
| redvamp128 | tripps: though with firefox there is the firefoxplugin-xine or vlc | 23:56 |
| tripps | redvamp128, again I don't have the file since it's a streaming playlist. I guess I could touch file.pls then right click tho . . | 23:56 |
| ma3x | thanks DeannaT2 | 23:56 |
| Mip5 | Sorry - I thought Flannel was responding to my question about a lost md0 | 23:56 |
