| steve678 | i got this back 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgra | 00:01 |
| ENERGIZE | when did that come out | 00:01 |
| ENERGIZE | is it alot better then 8.04 | 00:01 |
| blodski | some month(s) ago | 00:01 |

| _VIM_ | Wunderbar: if you're using like nautilus type ctrl+h | 00:03 |
| ENERGIZE | is intrepid better then 8.04 | 00:03 |
| blodski | ok, now im in a world of semi-shit | 00:03 |
| McShane | steve678, the newest brasero stable is 0.8.2, so you won't find any newer version in the official repositories | 00:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erUSUL what does LC_ALL=C Do ? | 00:03 |
| McShane | afaik | 00:03 |
| d_rugs420 | anyone know how to fix firefox from random crashing? | 00:03 |
| _VIM_ | Wunderbar: or in terminal rm -rf /home/Wunderbar/.irrsi | 00:03 |
| blodski | i tried to make it auto-start a program on login, but got an error saying i was logged in less than 10 s | 00:03 |
| pHreaksYcle | ENERGIZE: The newest RELEASED version is always better | 00:03 |
| RomD | not sure if it's in the repository poseidon. I installed it manually, but it seemed very unstable. why don't you use evince? | 00:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | d_rugs420 disable your addons | 00:03 |
| pHreaksYcle | ENERGIZE: most of the time anyway | 00:04 |
| pHreaksYcle | ENERGIZE: dont use alpha versions, and beta is prob. not for you either | 00:04 |
| ENERGIZE | ok thanks do you think it will fix my wireless problem | 00:04 |
| pHreaksYcle | ENERGIZE: I'm pretty convinced, I own the laptop | 00:04 |
| pHreaksYcle | ENERGIZE: Fixed mine :P | 00:04 |
| Wunderbar | thanks VIM | 00:04 |
| _VIM_ | :) | 00:04 |
| d_rugs420 | Jack_Sparrow, i need my addons | 00:05 |
| ENERGIZE | whats the alpha and beta versions | 00:05 |
| poseidon | RomD, I just opened a pdf file with it, and the text is barely readable. I use foxit reader on windows and the pdf looks perfect | 00:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | d_rugs420 not if they are crashing ff | 00:05 |
| Wunderbar | now I could do with some help vis-a-vis my wireless- it asks for authorisation and won't connect even though the key is correct... | 00:05 |
| d_rugs420 | seems like javascript or flash is causing it | 00:05 |
| pHreaksYcle | ENERGIZE: alpha and beta are testing, people test stuff and give feedback | 00:05 |

| RomD | poseidon, that's weird. did you try to reopen it? I sometimes get a bug of evince loading forever, never hear of yours though. I used foxreader on windows too, but evince if definitely the better choice on ubuntu. | 00:07 |

| RomD | ormen, you can always launch the filemanager through the terminal. it's called "nautilus" | 00:16 |
| RomD | ormen, or just press alt+f2 and type "nautilus" | 00:16 |
| ormen | roml:ifi klick on the things on the leftt side allthings work like aps | 00:16 |
| mystilleef | Is there a script for Ubuntu to migrate from python2.5 to python2.6? | 00:16 |
| RomD | ormen, maybe something broke the shortcuts. just use alt+f2 and type "nautilus". you can then click the shortcuts on the left side | 00:17 |
| ormen | roml:yes thank you for that tip. but one want it to work | 00:18 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 00:53 |

| mystilleef | Is there documented way to migrated python apps from 2.5 to 2.6? This used to be so easy on Gentoo, but I can't find any info on how to do this on Ubuntu/Debian. | 01:47 |
| jrib | mystilleef: what do you mean exactly? Isn't this a pure python question? | 01:48 |
| mystilleef | I installed python2.6 on Ubuntu, how do I get python apps to use it? | 01:48 |
| jrib | mystilleef: #!/usr/bin/env python2.6 right? | 01:48 |
| Reformer81 | I've never tried a remote desktop connection with Gnome. Worked great with Krfb/Krdc... but I can't get Vinagre to connect.... | 01:48 |
| spaceBARbarian | i have a ubuntu guest on a windows host (vbox) and for some reason i cant get my static IP settings to save, they get reset to automatic DHCP when i restart | 01:49 |
| mystilleef | jrib: How do I get installed apps to use python2.6? | 01:49 |
| bonhoffer | i lost write access to my filesystem | 01:49 |
| mystilleef | jrib: Is there a migration script? | 01:49 |
| McShane | mystilleef, there's a pretty big #python channel here on freenode | 01:49 |
| jrib | mystilleef: what installed apps? | 01:49 |
| bonhoffer | i just booted with livecd . . i need to run fsck or something right? | 01:50 |
| mystilleef | jrib: A whole bunch. | 01:50 |
| jrib | mystilleef: you don't want to make python2.6 default if that's what you are asking | 01:50 |
| mystilleef | jrib: See /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages | 01:50 |
| mystilleef | jrib: Why not? | 01:50 |

| topo_ | any one knows whats faster eee pc with xp or with ubuntu or eeebuntu | 01:50 |
| jrib | mystilleef: because scripts will break... | 01:50 |
| orudie | by default, where does apache2 bind ip ? | 01:51 |
| mystilleef | jrib: I know. I'm asking for migration script? Like other distros have. Where's the one for Ubuntu. | 01:51 |
| topo_ | any one knows what's faster an Eee pc with xp or with ubuntu or eeebuntu | 01:51 |
| bonhoffer | jrib, you were helping me two days ago and recommended live cd to get my write access back | 01:51 |
| fearful | topo_, any ubuntu will run faster, but for best performance try xubuntu which is for lower-resource computers (even if its not the case) its still real good. | 01:51 |
| jrib | mystilleef: whenever 2.6 becomes the default in a release, you upgrade to that release | 01:51 |
| bonhoffer | now i am here in ubuntu off the live cd | 01:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | topo_: guess it all depends, does it have an SSD, or a regular hard drive | 01:51 |
| Audacitee | bonhoffer, fsck is and integrity check tool for file system - it has nothing to do with permissions | 01:52 |
| bonhoffer | Audacitee, someone said here my filesystem was corrupted | 01:52 |
| mystilleef | jrib: I'm a developer I need to get 2.6 on it so I can test my app. | 01:52 |
| jrib | mystilleef: ubuntu isn't a rolling release | 01:52 |
| topo_ | any one knows what's faster an Eee pc with xp or with ubuntu or eeebuntu | 01:52 |
| bonhoffer | there is no way i can log on -- even as root -- i get "to write access" | 01:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | topo_: if you're not going to answer a response, then why repeat the question? | 01:52 |
| fearful | topo_, I just answered and so did IndyGunFreak | 01:52 |
| jrib | mystilleef: didn't you say you already had 2.6? | 01:52 |
| === kevin_ is now known as uvacav | ||
| Audacitee | bonhoffer, possible, what's the error when you try to write to it? | 01:53 |
| bonhoffer | hold on . . . | 01:53 |
| mystilleef | jrib: Yes, I do. But it's not the default python on Ubuntu. | 01:53 |
| Audacitee | put in pastebin if it's huge please | 01:53 |
| topo_ | IndyGunFreak: sorry i missed that : ( | 01:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | fearful: i had ubuntu 8.10 on my eee, and it ran fine, but i didn't like the SSD.. so i sold it, bought an AAO w/ a 120gig drive(and XP), removed XP, installed 8.10, and its awesome. | 01:53 |
| mystilleef | jrib: I just need a script that will update ubuntu from python2.5 to python2.6, that's all. | 01:54 |
| jrib | mystilleef: right, because that would break important scripts that were written for 2.5. If you want to use 2.6, then put that in the shebang line for your app. Why won't this work? | 01:54 |
| topo_ | IndyGunFreak: its a Eee pc 1000 ha so its a 160 gb hd | 01:54 |
| fearful | IndyGunFreak, yea I bet, just simply in my opinion its always better to have Ubuntu over any Windows | 01:54 |
| mystilleef | jrib: Because the python libraries on Ubuntu are still using python2.5 | 01:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | topo_: then i don't think you'd see a difference between any ubuntu, eeeubuntu or xubuntu... my AAO runs fantastic w/ 8.10 | 01:54 |
| fearful | topo_, then yes definitely ubuntu | 01:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | fearful: no doubt about that, my disdain for xp is.... well known : | 01:55 |
| fearful | IndyGunFreak, topo_ you will see a difference between XP and Ubuntu tho | 01:55 |
| vocx | Anyone know how can I force a port to be freed? I was running azureus and it crashed, but the forwarded port remained blocked so when I started another azureus instance it had connectivity problems. | 01:55 |
| mystilleef | jrib: gentoo had python-updater for moments like this. | 01:55 |
| DJNomad | IndyGunFreak, I am a hoosier also | 01:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | fearful: yeah, indeed. my AAO came w/ XP, i used it for about 20min to test everything then booted ubuntu, and it really runs great on there... | 01:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | DJNomad: oh ya?.. where at | 01:56 |
| DJNomad | IndyGunFreak, anderson | 01:56 |
| topo_ | fearful: i hate xp to i've been using linux for over a decade but the eee pc come with windows | 01:56 |
| fearful | topo_, doesn't matter, my computer came with Vista (eww) wiped that Ubuntu over any Windows thats my opinion tho | 01:56 |
| jrib | mystilleef: see if reinstalling the library after installing a packaged version of python2.6 (https://edge.launchpad.net/~doko/+archive/ppa) just works or not (I'm not sure) | 01:56 |
| myk_robinson | can someone help get the built-in microphone on my laptop's webcam to work? using Ubuntu 8.10 on a gateway m-6881 | 01:56 |
| fearful | topo_, I say you boot in LiveCD and check out how it runs. I'm sure it'll be much better. | 01:57 |
| === dani is now known as Guest8183 | ||
| McShane | vocx: azureus crashing caused your router to block a port that you forwarded? | 01:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | DJNomad: have some old friends up that way.. most of them worked at the prison | 01:57 |
| topo_ | fearful: its there any benchmark on that issue | 01:57 |
| mystilleef | jrib: It's installed but it doesn't do the migration from 2.5 to 2.6 | 01:57 |
| DJNomad | IndyGunFreak, yeah i got a few friends work there also maybe a feew in there too lol | 01:57 |
| egaudet | Has anyone successfully gotten TV out of avermedia pvr-150 PLUS | 01:57 |
| jrib | mystilleef: you installed that python2.6 package? | 01:57 |
| fearful | topo_, I'm sorry I don't understand benchmark? | 01:57 |
| mystilleef | jrib: I don't want to have manually recompile/reinstall all the python pacgkes. | 01:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | DJNomad: lol... sorry to say, me to. | 01:58 |
| Audacitee | vocx, Vuze will use upnp afaik - mine worked out of the box | 01:58 |
| Hakume | crdlb: What was that command input I needed for the wireless device that had 'ath5x' at the end? I had to reinstall due to Gparted crashing while I was resizing my Linux partition to become larger. | 01:58 |
| mystilleef | jrib: Yes, I have python2.6 installed. But it's useless because nothing uses it. | 01:58 |
| topo_ | fearful: those tests like phoronix one | 01:58 |
| vocx | McShane, that's a way to put it. Apparently the processed remained as zombie, that is the parent being init, so it was weird. A reboot would fix it, but I just wanted to know of a way to reboot ports or something. | 01:58 |
| jrib | mystilleef: is that a "yes" to my question or a "yes, I have python2.6 installed" (this wasn't my question) | 01:58 |
| topo_ | fearful: to compare in actual numbers | 01:58 |
| mystilleef | jrib: I have python2.6 installed. | 01:58 |
| McShane | vocx: just kill the process | 01:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | topo_: why don't you just either 1... boot an ubuntu cd, or 2... put ubuntu on a thumb drive, and boot it, and see how it goes. | 01:59 |
| ultratek | how do i disable and re-enable compiz? i am trying to get suaerbraten to work with my mouse... | 01:59 |
| fearful | topo_, umm.. I'm not sure to be honest, but you can boot with LiveCD and monitor using the system monitor and then doing the same with xp.. | 01:59 |
| vocx | McShane, A zombie process cannot be killed, it has finished but it remains on the process table. | 01:59 |
| fearful | topo_, or maybe I misunderstood the question | 01:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | topo_: id o know, your wireless probably isn't going to work out of the box... do you know if you have the atheros wireless device, or the realtek one? | 01:59 |
| jrib | mystilleef: good luck with your issue. | 01:59 |
| Audacitee | ultratek, what window manager are you using ? to enable it's compiz --replace | 01:59 |
| topo_ | IndyGunFreak: i belive its the realtek one | 02:00 |
| vocx | Audacitee, I'm using UDP too that's not exactly the problem. | 02:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | topo_: yeah, those are kind of a pain | 02:00 |
| DJNomad | I've connected my cell phone via usb cable,in terminal what command to find out location of it ,dmesg? | 02:00 |
| topo_ | IndyGunFreak: i've search the forum and apparently they do run with the eeebuntu mod kernel | 02:00 |
| ultratek | audacite, window manager? | 02:00 |
| fearful | IndyGunFreak, that's because of the ipv4 issue correct? I might have a fix for topo_ if its that case, some where in my history | 02:01 |
| topo_ | IndyGunFreak: hows the boot time one Aao | 02:01 |
| Audacitee | ultratek, like gnome, kde etc... | 02:01 |
| atrius | anyone know why startkde would be missing? | 02:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | topo_: well, you can get it to work w/ "regular" 8.10... just take some works, but that might be one reason to choose eee, is for the kernel w/ the realtek driver | 02:01 |
| bonhoffer | Audacitee, i can't get the error without rebooting out of the live cd | 02:01 |
| McShane | vocx, I don't know, then. You could try starting and stopping eth0/eth1 | 02:01 |
| ultratek | audacite, gnome | 02:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | topo_: i have no complaints about its boot time.. i've never timed it, but its similar to my workhorse laptop. | 02:02 |
| McShane | vocx, that is, restarting the ethX device | 02:02 |
| Hakume | What was that command input I needed for the wireless device that had 'ath5x' at the end? I had to reinstall due to Gparted crashing while I was resizing my Linux partition to become larger. Therefore, my Atheros chipset wireless network card isn't in the list of devices. | 02:02 |
| topo_ | IndyGunFreak: thats amazing | 02:02 |
| Audacitee | ultratek, well to disable compiz - i'd just go metacity --replace | 02:02 |
| Audacitee | ultratek, use terminal or alt+f2 for those commands | 02:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hakume: which atheros device is it? | 02:02 |
| ultratek | auda, thank you | 02:02 |
| vocx | McShane, As I said, it was kinda weird. Just wanted to know if anybody had experience with that. For instance, "netstat -t -u" will show the TCP and UDP ports in use. So it would show my port as in use, even when azureus was zombie. | 02:03 |
| Audacitee | bonhoffer, yeah - can't really say if it's a permission thing or a corruption thing without seeing the error | 02:03 |
| Audacitee | bonhoffer, you can try log in as root and write to the disk to see if it's a permission thing though | 02:04 |
| bonhoffer | Audacitee, in live cd mode -- can i do some housekeeping | 02:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hakume: which atheros device is it? | 02:04 |
| Hakume | It is.... | 02:04 |
| KFP | Hmm this is odd. | 02:04 |
| topo_ | IndyGunFreak: fearful: i'm going to go with the eeebuntu version thx for all the help, my only concern is that the win xp versions boots on la 35 seconds hope i can match it | 02:04 |
| Audacitee | bonhoffer, yep you can | 02:04 |
| KFP | I can't get Adobe Flash installed on 8.04 LTS. | 02:04 |
| Hakume | (trying to remember the command input to display the device) | 02:04 |
| bonhoffer | Audacitee, sorry -- i am a noob -- what can i do | 02:04 |
| tritium | KFP: the package name is flashplugin-nonfree | 02:04 |

| IndyGunFreak | Hakume: go to system/admin/hardware drivers | 02:05 |
| Hakume | I already got the driver. | 02:06 |
| bonhoffer | Audacitee, is there anything else? | 02:06 |
| Kagee | I want to run pam_exec if a user types his password wrong once, is that possible? | 02:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hakume: are you using 32bit? | 02:06 |
| Hakume | Yes. | 02:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hakume: do you ahve 1 or two options in hardware drivers for atheros. | 02:06 |
| bonhoffer | Audacitee, how do i even find my old file-system | 02:06 |
| Audacitee | bonhoffer, not particularly for your problem | 02:06 |
| Audacitee | bonhoffer, it's not mounted? | 02:07 |
| Hakume | I disabled the one that doesn't work, have already rebooted, and am using (having activated it before the previous reboot) the correct driver. | 02:07 |
| KFP | tritium: "Couldn't find package". | 02:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hakume: thats odd, and you still don't have wireless? | 02:07 |

| ubottu | flashplugin-nonfree (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10.0.15.3ubuntu1~intrepid1 (intrepid), package size 18 kB, installed size 164 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) | 02:07 |
| tritium | KFP: ^^ | 02:07 |
| bonhoffer | Audacitee, i can't find my /home files in it | 02:08 |
| tritium | KFP: perhaps you've not enabled the multiverse component, then | 02:08 |
| bonhoffer | would live cd allow someone into my home filesystem anyway? | 02:08 |
| Hakume | I just need the command that is something like 'get ath5x' | 02:08 |
| Hakume | I just can't remember. | 02:08 |
| KFP | tritium: I first tried the "Add/remove software" tool but it complained about 64 bit or something. | 02:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hakume: you shouldn't need to do that.. did you install the backport modules? | 02:08 |
| bonhoffer | fsck shows /dev/sda6 contains a file system with errors, check forced | 02:08 |
| Hakume | That's what I did. | 02:08 |
| tritium | KFP: ah, that may be it. It may not be available for 64-bit. | 02:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hakume: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic | 02:09 |
| dynamic_battery | umm.. hello ^^ | 02:09 |
| KFP | tritium: I have it running on my 64 bit desktop which has the exact same Ubuntu as this laptop. Hmm. :\ | 02:09 |
| Audacitee | bonhoffer, I would boot the recovery kernel and run fsck to do a disk check, then keep your error if it re-occurs when you boot normal kernel and put it in paste.ubuntu.com and come back here | 02:10 |
| Hakume | I installed it from Synaptic, and am using the driver that worked perfectly last night before I tried to expand the Linux partition this morning. | 02:10 |
| KFP | tritium: I don't recall having problems there but it's been a while so I don't remember exactly. | 02:10 |
| tritium | KFP: then double-check that you have multiverse enabled, and an updated package list | 02:10 |
| KFP | tritium: How can I check that? :) | 02:10 |
| Hakume | crdlb gave me a command last night that fixed my problem completely. | 02:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hakume: dunno, i've got that same device on 3 different laptops, installing the backport modules, and disabling that driver, has always worked | 02:11 |
| bonhoffer | Audacitee, lots and lots of Inode xxxx was part of the orphaned inode list | 02:11 |
| Reformer81 | Isn't there some kind of GUI app that will let me setup partitions to automount? I shouldn't have to manually edit the fstab just to get a hard drive to be available. | 02:11 |
| bonhoffer | lots of deleted inode 4406xx has zero dtime. | 02:11 |
| Hakume | I just can't remember the full command. | 02:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hakume: you don't need a command | 02:11 |
| bonhoffer | Audacitee, is this standard (btw, thanks for your help - i really appreciate it) | 02:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | thats what i was trying to tell you | 02:11 |
| === eric_ is now known as talntid | ||
| tritium | KFP: it would be listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:11 |
| Hakume | Well.... | 02:11 |
| vocx | Reformer81, as a matter of fact that is expert knowledge so yes, you have to do it by hand. It says so in the fstab manual. | 02:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hakume: do you have two atheros options in system/admin/hardware drivers | 02:12 |
| Hakume | One disabled and one enabled. | 02:12 |
| Hakume | 5xxx enabled, and generic disabled. | 02:12 |
| Reformer81 | vocx: So... it's expert knowledge and everyday computer users don't deserve to have access to their files when using Linux? Fascinating. | 02:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | then your wireless should work, you don't need to disable anything else.. | 02:12 |
| Audacitee | bonhoffer, yeah that error seems like an integrity problem, as I said boot recovery kernel and start at console and run fsck and see what it does | 02:12 |
| donavan01 | Im looking for a good video editing program that will do AVI (I have 2 AVIs I want to smash back together) | 02:12 |
| KFP | tritium: Yes, seems to be enabled. Hmm. | 02:13 |

| bonhoffer | now getting block bitmap differences | 02:13 |

| fdkjsljfskdjl | I need a copy of airodump because it is not included with the aircrack-ng package. | 02:13 |
| vocx | Reformer81, well, it's more complicated than that of course. Because typically you set up the disk partitions once, and you do not change them every day, and if you do (running a server) then you are expert. | 02:13 |
| Hakume | The device isn't in the list though, causing wireless to not work. | 02:13 |
| bonhoffer | Free blocks count wrong for group #54 | 02:13 |
| Audacitee | bonhoffer, just boot the recovery kernel in the grub list - I wouldn't do it from live cd unless your system won't boot to a console at all | 02:14 |
| Reformer81 | vocx: But this isn't a partition that changes every day... it has all of my photos and music on it. I'd like it to be accessible in Linux... but right now I'm needing to manually mount it every time. | 02:14 |
| bonhoffer | Audacitee, thanks | 02:14 |
| fdkjsljfskdjl | Where can I get airodump-ng? | 02:14 |
| fdkjsljfskdjl | nevermind I have it | 02:14 |
| fdkjsljfskdjl | I had forgotten to include -ng | 02:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hakume: i don't know what instructions you've followed before, but disable the atheros generic driver, install the backports, and restart, and your wireless should work... if youv'fe had to do something else in the past, thenn i cant explain that, like i said, i have that device on 3 different laptops, and it works fine doing just that | 02:14 |
| Reformer81 | vocx: I can figure out how to add it to fstab, but I was hoping that Ubuntu had finally realized that not everyone knows how to do that. | 02:15 |
| Audacitee | bonhoffer, np, gl | 02:15 |
| wolter | what do I have to echo to know which is my default webbrowser? | 02:15 |
| n8tuserf | Reformer81-> once you have the entry in the /etc/fstab you dont need to fiddle with it again | 02:15 |
| vocx | Reformer81, now, I recall that when you right click on a drive there is some tab there with information about the mount point and options, but I've never used it... maybe it works for what you want. | 02:15 |
| Hakume | That's what I did. | 02:15 |
| Hakume | However, the driver is working, but the wireless card isn't listed. | 02:15 |
| bonhoffer | Audacitee, doing it -- what is an inode? | 02:15 |
| Hakume | Therefore making the point of my wireless driver null. | 02:16 |
| Reformer81 | vocx: Ah.. never knew about that. Thank you; I'll look into that. | 02:17 |
| Audacitee | bonhoffer, it's part of the ext3 file system linux uses | 02:17 |
| redvamp128 | donavan01: you could try this one it says it works with avi Application Information - Avidemux <http://www.getdeb.net/app/Avidemux> | 02:17 |

| Hakume | Acer Aspire 4520 laptop | 02:19 |
| vocx | Reformer81, in fact, since this mounter applet now works perfectly for my needs, I no longer use the fstab to hard code the mount point, I let them automount to /media. I like it that way. | 02:19 |

| vocx | Reformer81, I've never liked the idea of a huge media application like that. I like minimalistic. | 02:21 |
| Reformer81 | vocx: I just have so much music that I NEED some kind of organized player. | 02:21 |
| crdlb | Hakume: the only other bit was that for some reason ath5k was not being automatically loaded; so I had you try 'sudo modprobe ath5k', but that isn't persistent | 02:22 |
| Flannel | toxygen: I see a book, then a bug. | 02:22 |
| Hakume | Ah. | 02:22 |
| linny1 | Reformer81 : after the drive is mounted you need to rebuild the library in amarok oh and make sure it hads the correct path | 02:22 |
| toxygen | Flannel: before book | 02:23 |
| Reformer81 | linny1: I can't even direct Amarok TO the path... | 02:23 |
| toxygen | Flannel: what icon do you have before book | 02:23 |
| linny1 | Reformer81:whats stopping you ? | 02:23 |
| vocx | Reformer81, I've heard that's what Amarok and Rhythmbox do, but seriously... what kind of organization do you need? Can you just put them in albums and be done with it. Yeah I know, you probably have 500 GB of music so I don't know... | 02:23 |
| Reformer81 | linny1: The path is /media/Media/Music ... I can get amarok to /media/Media.... but it shows it as empty. | 02:23 |
| lchi | hey i have a question | 02:23 |
| Reformer81 | vocx: Well, not 500GB, but I do have close to 20 :P | 02:24 |
| linny1 | oh resart amarok and try it ? | 02:24 |
| Flannel | toxygen: The globe | 02:24 |
| Hakume | It has been solved...again. | 02:24 |
| lchi | how do i update my graphics driver to the latest version? | 02:24 |
| lchi | my current repos don't have it | 02:24 |
| Reformer81 | linny1: Nope... same thing. I can browse the location just fine, but Amarok is blind to it. | 02:24 |
| toxygen | Flannel: exactly, there should be one more icon between them | 02:25 |
| linny1 | lchi:what card and driver we are no psycic | 02:25 |
| toxygen | Flannel: check source | 02:25 |
| linny1 | Reformer81:hmmm | 02:25 |
| vocx | lchi, you can't, unless you compile the driver yourself, or update the distro. That's the simple answer. | 02:25 |
| toxygen | lchi: either find some other repos or make you own (either package or directly) | 02:25 |
| linny1 | Reformer81: 1 sec | 02:25 |
| Flannel | toxygen: Alright. You might try informing the people in #ubuntu-doc | 02:25 |
| linny1 | Reformer81:ill check mine my library is on separate disk too | 02:25 |
| lchi | can i change my repos to the jaunty repos for only my graphics driver? | 02:25 |
| octoberdan | So am I shit out of luck if I want to use RT2570 in Intrepid Ibex? | 02:26 |
| Reformer81 | linny1: I'm using Amarok 2, btw | 02:26 |
| ubuphone | I am looking to get a new phone. Had a black berry, really liked it. Now I am looking at something with; with android, the new palm device, or an iphone. Suggestions? | 02:26 |
| LogicFan | ubuphone, what do you want to do with it? | 02:26 |
| Reformer81 | linny1: Which, granted, is about as unstable a piece of software you can find, but its oh, so cool. :) | 02:26 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| vocx | lchi, it is not advisable to do that. It's better to wait. Because drivers may need a slightly different version of X, or drm so things may break. | 02:26 |
| toxygen | Flannel: ok, you could've told me that as first :) | 02:27 |
| ubuphone | max web interactivity, would be nice to ssh to my ubuntu box but i would bet most new phones have soemthing that i could run | 02:27 |
| bonhoffer | Audacitee, all works -- thanks | 02:27 |
| aranyik | hi | 02:27 |
| LogicFan | ubuphone, personally, i think the iphone has the best web experience | 02:27 |
| ubuphone | yeah, thats what i thouhg, been hearing rumblings about a new one. may wait a min to see if it comes out | 02:27 |

| dynamic_battery | omg it looks so cool.. ^^ :D | 02:30 |

| fearful | aranyik, try pressing alt + f2 then gnome-panel, I'm pretty sure that will work on xubuntu | 02:30 |

| lenswipe | pestilence: nobodys home in #mythtv lol | 02:31 |
| worldcitizen | how can I use tinyirc? I type in terminal "tinyirc irc.ubuntu.com" but get an error of 461 USER Not enough parameters. It connects to the server but times out after the 461 | 02:31 |
| dynamic_battery | fearful, sudo apt-get install htop? or something? | 02:31 |
| dynamic_battery | sorry for n00bnes.. :S | 02:32 |
| fearful | dynamic_battery, correct or just use the standard top | 02:32 |
| pestilence | lenswipe: how about tritium's suggestion | 02:32 |
| lenswipe | dynamic_battery: i just use normal top, works for me :) | 02:32 |
| dynamic_battery | cool, thanks | 02:32 |
| fearful | dynamic_battery, no problem man, were here for all your questions. | 02:32 |
| lenswipe | pestilence: never saw that, what was it? | 02:32 |
| linny1 | Palermo_:what type of raid do you want? | 02:32 |
| dynamic_battery | darn it says not valid >< | 02:32 |
| pestilence | lenswipe: #ubuntu-mythtv | 02:33 |
| fearful | lenswipe, dynamic_battery htop is nicer to see the CPU/RAM usage but just typing top on the terminal will list your processes | 02:33 |
| lenswipe | pestilence: ok, ill try that... | 02:33 |
| dynamic_battery | ill just use the install/unstall tool.. :D | 02:33 |
| aranyik | fearful, oh! these bars are part of gnome....i see...thanks a lot! :D | 02:33 |
| Palermo_ | raid 0 | 02:33 |
| Palermo_ | want it to see both as 1 drive combined storage | 02:33 |

| AngryElf | I should be getting some 1280x800 resolution but the highest I can choose goes up to 1024x768 -- I've got an Intel integrated graphics chip -- how am I supposed to install that correctly? | 02:33 |
| linny1 | Palermo_: cant you just use lvm ? | 02:33 |
| dynamic_battery | fearful, htop sounds cooler ^^ need to get it then sleep!! | 02:34 |
| njdube | I'm a new Gnome user, used to be a long time KDE user. I've been reading some history on Gnome lately. What I haven't seen are screenshots of old Gnome versions. Where can I get some screenshots of all older Gnome versions? I'l like to see how it's changed visually since it's birth. | 02:34 |
| fearful | dynamic_battery, then sudo apt-get install htop is what you need. | 02:34 |
| Palermo_ | linny1: LVM? | 02:34 |
| dynamic_battery | fearful, so now i type htop instead of top in terminal? | 02:35 |
| pestilence | AngryElf: you used to have to install an additional package, but it has been a while since i've used a intel graphics card | 02:35 |
| linny1 | Palermo_: logical volume manager you will see as one volume but its no striped or anything | 02:35 |
| fearful | dynamic_battery, correct. | 02:35 |
| pestilence | AngryElf: i believe the package was something like 810resolution or something | 02:35 |
| dynamic_battery | awesome!!!!! | 02:35 |
| Palermo_ | linny1: how do i se that up? | 02:35 |
| ENERGIZE_ | does anyone know if theres a good CAD program for CNC or a scan to CAD program | 02:35 |
| linny1 | well you can set it up upon install with the ubuntu alternate istall cd | 02:36 |
| dynamic_battery | oh this is fun ^^ | 02:36 |
| fearful | njdube, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ there are all the versions listed with information for screenshots just google them with the version :p | 02:36 |
| linny1 | errm i think you can do it after install but ive never done it that way 1 sec ill google | 02:37 |
| Golf_ | hi, I've installed Windows and now I'm locked out of my Ubuntu partition, I don't have a Live CD and unentbooting only gives me the option to install to f:\ and that does not work, is there any way I can get back without reinstalling? | 02:37 |
| pestilence | AngryElf: i think it was 915resolution, actually | 02:37 |
| pestilence | but that only exists in versions before intrepid. | 02:38 |
| dynamic_battery | what does PID mean? Process ID? or something? | 02:38 |
| Palermo_ | k | 02:38 |
| ENERGIZE_ | looking for a cad program for cnc anyone know of a good one | 02:38 |
| fearful | dynamic_battery, correct again. | 02:38 |

| daeo | i, i just installed Ubuntu 8.04, after the reboot and I log into Gnome, i hear the login music and then am prompted to log in again, only if i go into failsafe gnome can i log in successfully. Any Ideas what would cause this? maybe a video setting that my monitor doesn't support? how would I change it if that is the case? | 02:39 |
| fearful | dynamic_battery, anytime. | 02:39 |
| pestilence | AngryElf: from the package info: 845G, 855G, and 865G chipsets, as well as 915G, 915GM, and 945G chipsets | 02:39 |
| tmurder | anyone else unable to play flv files with mplayer? | 02:40 |

| daeo | pestilence: normally i use my box for pc games.. and decided to install a sata drive i got out of a dell someone threw outside. The fool had pr0n all over it, I bet he had to lie to his wife in order to get rid of it and get another. | 02:58 |
| linny1 | Palermo_: http://paste.ubuntu.com pls | 02:58 |
| Jmz | Off to sleep night night all | 02:58 |
| Palermo_ | i will im sorry | 02:58 |
| Palermo_ | did u get all of what i pasted | 02:58 |
| cole | kool, thanx for that | 02:59 |
| Flannel | Palermo_: Use pastebin, paste.ubuntu.com | 02:59 |
| daeo | whip out the ban hammers | 02:59 |
| pestilence | daeo: either that or his wife is the one who put it outside | 03:00 |
| linny1 | Palermo_: no, btw did you partition the disks manually or did ubuntu do it ? | 03:00 |
| Palermo_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/122654/ | 03:00 |
| Palermo_ | there you go | 03:00 |
| Palermo_ | i just partitioned my 200gb hd | 03:00 |
| Palermo_ | dont think i touched the two 1.5tb drives | 03:00 |
| evride1 | hey dudez | 03:00 |
| evride1 | got a question | 03:00 |
| daeo | pestilence: hehe, i think you might be right. it was a good find too... p4 ht, can't tell speed (no stickers) .. DDR2 ram, sata hhd, dvd burner.. only thing wrong with it was the power supply is dead. | 03:01 |
| evride1 | when i shut down my computer my screen gets all garbled up and doesnt shut down | 03:01 |
| linny1 | Palermo_: ok it sees the disk fine | 03:01 |
| evride1 | any ideas? | 03:01 |
| Palermo_ | linny1: and you see that from the first command you gave me right? | 03:02 |
| linny1 | yes sda is 1500.3 gb | 03:02 |
| Palermo_ | got ya | 03:02 |
| islan | redvamp128: it seems that the video player doesn't let me choose any other audio files | 03:02 |
| Palermo_ | also if i do lvm2 and i have to reformat my 200gb hd with the OS will it still be seen as one when i install it again | 03:03 |
| islan | although mplayer does, I prefer to use the video player since it can use the controls on my keyboard | 03:03 |
| Palermo_ | is it linked to the OS thats installed i guess is my question | 03:03 |
| mindslant | I ran xrandr -q and it told me my output device is Screen 0, when I tried testing another output rez nothing happened. the command I use was"xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --rate 75" If I put a space between Screen & 0 it give me a list of possible commands | 03:04 |
| linny1 | Palermo_ i dont really understan what you are asking but if you use lvm all disks will apperar as on for file managment purposes yes | 03:04 |
| linny1 | soryy about spelling its late :) | 03:04 |
| Palermo_ | linny1: lets say instead of upgrading to 9.04 | 03:04 |
| Palermo_ | i want ot do a clean install... will 9.04 from a clean isntall | 03:04 |
| Palermo_ | see the lvm2 setup from 8.10 | 03:05 |
| daeo | ubuntu is at 9.04 already? jeeze... guess my cd i ordered is out of date >.< | 03:05 |

| antoine | xubuntu intrepide + eeepc 900 + atheros ar242X + madwifi possible ????????????,, | 03:08 |

| pestilence | daeo: yea. NOT. | 03:35 |
| cybercom | but grsync is the GUI based | 03:35 |
| pestilence | great, he already did it :-D | 03:36 |
| cybercom | also the its based on the rsync | 03:36 |
| bartek | savvas: I found it, it was a deluge issue, on their forums they provided a temp solution | 03:36 |
| Flannel | cybercom: Yes. You'll have to use rsync. What are you having trouble following? | 03:36 |

| solid_liquid | !ping | 03:36 |
| solid_liquid | !ping | 03:36 |
| ubottu | ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore | 03:36 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, and like flannel is pointing out, GUI application often have limitations that the CLI back end does not | 03:36 |
| cybercom | but i'm not expert in the rsync ...... its all based in the command rite | 03:37 |
| pestilence | Jack_Sparrow: it is better to have people just move files like that out of the way | 03:37 |
| cybercom | Flannel: | 03:37 |
| savvas | !ask | solid_liquid | 03:37 |
| ubottu | solid_liquid: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:37 |
| pestilence | Jack_Sparrow: that way, if they find "my favorite settings that i spent years perfecting" are now missing, it is easy to restor | 03:37 |
| daeo | pestilence: that didn't work | 03:38 |
| daeo | pestilence: the command worked obviously but it did not resolve my issue | 03:38 |
| pestilence | daeo: ok. did you see this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5841400&postcount=6 | 03:38 |
| Flannel | cybercom: Yes, any program you use cron with will be command line. You may see if grsync has an ability to output an rsync command for you (which seems like a long shot, but who knows). If not, you'll need to figure out rsync (at least a little bit) | 03:38 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, rsync is not difficutlt.... rsync [options] <source> <destination> | 03:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pestilence Noted.. but people should also have backups and things like that. If you spent years perfecting your settings I would assume you backed them up and knew how to restore them | 03:38 |
| madmike | is there a way to purge your memory? in windows I used to have a program that freed up memory that was being used, but was still reserved for programs that were closed | 03:39 |
| eross | to get xplane to play on my 64bit ubuntu os, i had to copy over some 32bit shared libraries. Is there a way to avoid this when creating a 32bit game? | 03:39 |
| Flannel | cybercom: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync covers some stuff | 03:39 |
| pestilence | Jack_Sparrow: sure. but you will soon realize that virtually nobody in here actually has backups. | 03:39 |
| RoC_MasterMind | madmike, not necessary, linux has good memory management, windows doesn't. | 03:39 |
| sfer21 | madmike: Linux uses memory differently | 03:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pestilence I am aware. I have been here for years | 03:39 |
| Titan8990 | madmike, that defeats the purpose of memory doesn't it? | 03:39 |
| pestilence | Jack_Sparrow: k :-D | 03:39 |
| daeo | pestilence: trying it now.. but im not finding the file it talks about... | 03:40 |
| Titan8990 | madmike, if something else needs to space of a closed application, linux will give clear it up | 03:40 |
| Titan8990 | madmike, but it stays there in case you open the app again | 03:40 |
| RoC_MasterMind | sorta | 03:40 |
| usser | eross, if it doesnt come in 64 bit then, theres basically two options 1 copying 32bit libs and 2 creating a 32bit chroot environment | 03:40 |
| f_newton | pestilence, not only is that bad advice... backup is the first word in responsible computing, but why would you want to be known a a barren scourge? | 03:40 |
| RoC_MasterMind | any memory not in use by a process is used as disk cache. | 03:40 |
| madmike | lol, i mean, i know it has better management, but it still uses more memory after it's been on a while, even if I haven't done anything. But I'll take that as a no :) Thanks | 03:40 |
| RoC_MasterMind | madmike, then you need to close whatever apps are using more and more memory :-D | 03:40 |
| pestilence | f_newton: excuse me? | 03:40 |
| sfer21 | madmike: Yeah, that's because it uses memory differently as a kind of cache. | 03:41 |
| Flannel | madmike: Unused memory is wasted memory. It'll grab stuff it thinks it might need and stick them in memory | 03:41 |
| cybercom | thanks Flannel ... will look on it | 03:41 |
| daeo | pestilence: ok i removed it, rebooting again. | 03:41 |
| madmike | alright, i didn't know that | 03:41 |
| f_newton | pestilence..... a scourge of disease baring insects | 03:41 |
| pestilence | f_newton: if you look back, i wasn't advocating against backups. | 03:41 |
| madmike | like pre-fetching | 03:41 |
| usser | like super-mega-prefetch-everything or whatever they call it on windows | 03:41 |
| madmike | thanks again | 03:41 |
| f_newton | well I am just saying that suggesting people dont do backups is not really a good thing | 03:41 |
| pestilence | f_newton: i was just acknowledging that most people are irresponsible | 03:42 |
| madmike | i have nothing worth backing up | 03:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | f_newton no one is suggesting you NOT do backups | 03:42 |
| madmike | it can all be downloaded again :) | 03:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | madmike How is that old timex Sinclair working these days | 03:42 |
| f_newton | well ... back up backup BackUp... | 03:43 |
| f_newton | Ive got a sinclair! | 03:43 |
| madmike | Jack_Sparrow: I'm guessing that was a joke, and i didn't get it :( | 03:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | madmike np.. f_newton did | 03:43 |
| usser | f_newton, oh, great little machine... | 03:43 |
| f_newton | lol for what? | 03:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sorry all, I did not mean to start a bunch of offtopic | 03:44 |
| f_newton | my commadore was a good little machine | 03:44 |
| usser | tsk tsk tsk | 03:44 |
| madmike | was it an old computer type or something? | 03:44 |
| madmike | oh ok | 03:44 |
| madmike | i get it now | 03:44 |

| Paco_Paco | how do i install and configure samba? | 03:44 |
| f_newton | madmike, they were offered on the back page of science digest etc back in the early '70s | 03:44 |
| qcjn | hi, i wan t to add a lyricwiki to gmpc, ho can i find if the requirements are there ? cause the plugin is there but it doesn't work ? | 03:44 |
| savvas | eross: there are 32-bit libraries for 64-bit ubuntu: ia32-libs - you have to use linux32 when running it, e.g.: linux32 sh ./somescript | 03:44 |
| daeo | no dice | 03:44 |
| vvinet | Is there a way to manually choose the sound output between the speakers and headset regardless of the presence/absence of a headset? | 03:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hotbabysexy Please dont do that | 03:44 |
| Tr3y- | Hey anyone have any innformation about ventrilo in wine not getting anything in #winehq | 03:44 |
| aptigo | is there a way to output the time a process has taken after it's finished | 03:45 |
| usser | eross, also theres a great little utility around on the web getlibs, it looks at what 32 libraries are used by an app and downloads them for you | 03:45 |
| f_newton | my brother had an amiga and I had a commadore 64 | 03:45 |
| daeo | Tr3y-: Rogue Games ring a bell? | 03:45 |
| crdlb | aptigo: 'time process' will time it | 03:45 |
| f_newton | then I got a tandy :) I was a stud | 03:45 |
| Tylerdurden | I just did my first ubuntu install and everything is working great except my Dvd burner isn't working | 03:45 |
| aptigo | thank you! | 03:45 |
| Tylerdurden | can someone help | 03:45 |
| pestilence | aptigo: or /usr/bin/time | 03:45 |
| Veinor | anybody here know how to keep sshfs from timing out? | 03:46 |
| daeo | pestilence: hrm, anymore ideas ? | 03:46 |
| Tr3y- | daeo: ? | 03:46 |
| daeo | pestilence: i'd hate to have to reinstall.. took 30 mins of my time | 03:46 |
| Paco_Paco | how do i install and configure samba? | 03:46 |
| daeo | Tr3y-: nevermind, you have name similar to friend of mine | 03:46 |
| daeo | Tr3y-: he uses ubuntu also | 03:46 |
| Tr3y- | daeo: ahh Was going to say I played a rogue :-P | 03:46 |
| Tr3y- | daeo: in wow lol | 03:46 |
| pestilence | daeo: dunno. one of those posts made it seem like a problem with ATI drivers. do you have an ATI card? | 03:46 |
| f_newton | Paco_Paco, samba has a pretty good website documentation page set up | 03:47 |
| daeo | pestilence: >.> and if i said yes? | 03:47 |
| Titan8990 | !samba | Paco_Paco | 03:47 |
| daeo | pestilence: yeah i do | 03:47 |
| ubottu | Paco_Paco: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 03:47 |
| redvamp128 | !samba | Paco_Paco | 03:47 |
| daeo | pestilence: pos x200 onboard | 03:47 |
| pestilence | daeo: do you have the proprietary drivers installed? i know nothing about ATI drivers, though | 03:47 |
| Paco_Paco | they redirected me to this channel in #samba f_newton | 03:47 |
| pestilence | you could probably get it to work using the vesa drivers | 03:47 |
| Paco_Paco | its distro specific | 03:48 |
| f_newton | Im running an ati and the ubuntu driver is better then the ati proprietary driver for my card | 03:48 |
| pestilence | Paco_Paco: sudo aptitude install samba | 03:48 |
| daeo | pestilence: i wish i knew... as i just installed and ubuntu in its awesome glory installed on its own | 03:48 |
| f_newton | Paco_Paco, excuse me? | 03:48 |
| pestilence | Paco_Paco: then it is no longer distro specific. | 03:48 |
| Paco_Paco | pestilence the installing isnt the issue its the configuring | 03:48 |
| kavinsky | tr3y what's the problem with Vent on wine? Specifically? | 03:48 |
| shazoor | i want to install drivers for my intel g31/33 chipset.. can anyone kindly help me please | 03:48 |
| pestilence | Paco_Paco: i don't think configuring is distro specific | 03:48 |
| Tr3y- | kavinsky: can't get gsm to work anymore | 03:48 |
| sfer21 | Paco_Paco: then if it's the configurin, it isn't really distro specific | 03:48 |
| f_newton | installation managers are distro specific | 03:49 |
| Tr3y- | kavinsky: also getting no real sound through the speex codec | 03:49 |
| pestilence | daeo: i think you have to install the "restricted" drivers. google that. | 03:49 |
| f_newton | packages for linux are pretty much distro inclusive | 03:49 |
| Paco_Paco | i am not here to debate semantics | 03:49 |
| pestilence | we're just trying to say that they blew you off, Paco_Paco | 03:49 |
| f_newton | basically | 03:49 |
| pestilence | go back there and tell them we told you that | 03:49 |
| shazoor | are these drivers provoded by intel? | 03:50 |
| Tylerdurden | Having some trouble getting ubuntu to read my dvd drive, shows the drive but when i open it, it says unable to mount location | 03:50 |
| Flannel | Paco_Paco: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html | 03:50 |
| f_newton | pestilence, he'll get booted and he may need their help later | 03:50 |
| daeo | pestilence: this -> ?? http://www.michaellarabel.com/index.php?k=blog&i=114 | 03:50 |
| Paco_Paco | ty Flannel | 03:50 |
| daeo | pestilence: i don't have this option | 03:50 |
| f_newton | Paco_Paco, you can use google ya know... it works | 03:50 |
| Flannel | Paco_Paco: for what its worth, Titan8990 gave you that answer a few minutes ago. | 03:50 |
| pestilence | !ati | 03:50 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 03:50 |
| Paco_Paco | not really i am in china yahoo and google violate human rights | 03:50 |
| pestilence | daeo: ^^^^ | 03:51 |
| pestilence | in particular, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 03:51 |
| daeo | following !! | 03:51 |
| Titan8990 | Paco_Paco, google is a major supporter of open source applications | 03:52 |
| rdw200169 | Titan8990, yeah, i think android is open too | 03:52 |
| Titan8990 | rdw200169, it is, they recently got xserver to run on it | 03:52 |
| Paco_Paco | Titan8990 so? | 03:53 |
| Flannel | !offtopic | 03:53 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 03:53 |
| daeo | thanks guys this looks promising! | 03:53 |
| Titan8990 | Paco_Paco, so companies like google, novell, and etc need to be supported if linux is to succeed in the desktop market | 03:53 |
| Paco_Paco | this isnt the place to discuss politics, so you should have posted that offtopic command the instant f_newton told me to google it Flannel | 03:53 |
| Paco_Paco | google is offtopic also | 03:54 |
| sfer21 | Paco_Paco: Now it's just getting offtopic even more. No need to debate it, you've got a solution now. | 03:54 |
| Pici | Ubuntu is on topic, so please cease the semantics discussion. | 03:54 |
| Flannel | Paco_Paco: He's already been dealt with, actually. | 03:54 |
| Paco_Paco | i'm sorry for being offtopic | 03:54 |
| JordiGH | Are there any horror stories about ntfs-3g? My brother reported one, but it's starting to sound like El Chupacabras or a UFO sighting to me... all the alleged evidence is blurry and out of focus. | 03:56 |
| Mean_Admin | I plan to build a HTPC, I"m wondering if Ubuntu can handle the HDMI out for the ATI HD 3450 | 03:56 |
| Titan8990 | Mean_Admin, yes, but nvidia offers better support on linux | 03:56 |
| Mean_Admin | Titan8990: is it worth shelling out more ? | 03:57 |
| daeo | wow, it looked promising until the 2nd command gave me an error | 03:57 |
| daeo | and it looks like i can only do this is normal mode not safe mode | 03:58 |
| tritium | Mean_Admin: personally, I think so. Also, for a HTPC, you don't need 3D acceleration, and a mobo with integrated graphics such as the GeForce 9300 or 9400 would do quite adequately. | 03:58 |
| daeo | which is crazy | 03:58 |
| Marfi | Why can't Adobe or canonical make it easy to install flash? md5 sum. Some people don't know how to use wget. =P | 03:58 |
| Flannel | Marfi: The flash package means you don't have to use wget. | 03:58 |
| Tylerdurden | is there a reason ubuntu would see the dvd drive and everything but not be able to read media put in? | 03:58 |
| savvas | Marfi: install flashplugin-nonfree | 03:58 |
| tritium | Marfi: it has been made easy | 03:58 |
| Marfi | Flannel: I know, but it will kick back an md5 error from tiem to time | 03:58 |
| Mean_Admin | tritium: so basically any card with HDMI will do ? | 03:59 |
| Titan8990 | Mean_Admin, actually, the top chipset for HTPC is the 780G, unfortunatly, its linux support is not great | 03:59 |
| crdlb | Marfi: that's because adobe is too dumb to version their tarballs | 03:59 |
| Titan8990 | Mean_Admin, but I have seen reviews to show that integrated chips are fine | 03:59 |
| Marfi | savvas: tritium did that and got an md5 sum. crdlb | 03:59 |
| tritium | Mean_Admin: no, newer chipsets support H.264 better. I'd get a very recent nVidia card, or ATI. | 03:59 |
| savvas | Marfi: not anymore, there are talks to host flash on canonical partner archive | 03:59 |
| Marfi | I know that everyone, I'm just saying. Some people don't know how to get it to work without the easy way. =) | 03:59 |
| Marfi | savvas: that would be amazing | 03:59 |
| sfer21 | Marfi: If you knew that, why did you bring it up in this channel? | 04:00 |
| Mean_Admin | Titan8990: yeah I have motherboard without integrated graphics, and I need a card and since it's not for games but for HTPC, I'm looking for stuff that can render 1080p with HDMI out | 04:00 |
| daeo | ubottu: i followed the how to and encountered an issue not covered on the "How-To" | 04:00 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:00 |
| savvas | Marfi: i think it's already being hosted, enable canonical partner from System > Administration > Soft. Sources > Third-party software | 04:00 |
| JordiGH | So everyone thinks that ntfs-3g works marvelously? | 04:00 |
| Marfi | sfer21: because I am giving the channel a heads up | 04:00 |
| Marfi | JordiGH: YES! | 04:00 |
| Titan8990 | Mean_Admin, AMD 780G can | 04:00 |
| daeo | pestilence: the "How-To" didn't work | 04:01 |
| JordiGH | Marfi: I'll have to figure out how my brother claims that Windows Vista erased some files during some sort of scan which he put in there from Linux... :-/ | 04:01 |
| Mean_Admin | Titan8990: ok, em, any ati card with the amd 780g chipset ? | 04:01 |
| Marfi | savvas: so is that one put out by adobe and canonical, or just canonical? | 04:01 |
| Titan8990 | Mean_Admin, the card would void the chipset..... | 04:01 |
| Marfi | JordiGH: MS hates Linux | 04:01 |
| tritium | Titan8990: actually, the nVidia 9400 is the top chipset now | 04:01 |
| savvas | Marfi: I don't know :) | 04:02 |
| JordiGH | Marfi: But could it have actually happened? | 04:02 |
| tritium | Marfi: you don't need a card unless your current mobo doesnt' have an adequate IGP | 04:02 |
| bobbob1016 | Trying to run an application in a terminal from the gnome panel, I get this when running it "Failed to execute child process -x" | 04:02 |
| Mean_Admin | I'm really not looking for top, I just want it to output HDMI/DVI and have a 1080p resolution :( | 04:02 |
| hotbabysexy | hi.i want to install linux kernel 2.6.25 | 04:02 |
| Marfi | JordiGH: files being deleted from windows scannign linux, or linux scanning windows? | 04:02 |
| Titan8990 | Mean_Admin, there ya go, nvidia 9400 | 04:02 |
| hotbabysexy | iam running ubuntu | 04:02 |
| Mean_Admin | and work with linux, of course :S | 04:02 |
| Mean_Admin | Titan8990: thanks | 04:02 |
| JordiGH | Marfi: Windows scanning the ntfs drive to which ntfs-3g wrote. | 04:02 |
| Titan8990 | Mean_Admin, but what we are suggesting is cheaper than you are spending with the ati card.... | 04:02 |
| Mean_Admin | Titan8990: can't I go with the 8400 since it's basically the same thing (or so the great powers that be say) ? | 04:02 |
| skeletal | People, why if can't access to irc.blackhat.ru???? | 04:02 |
| savvas | Marfi: adobe-flashplugin is Adobe's: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/ - ubuntu uses flashplugin-nonfree | 04:03 |
| Titan8990 | Mean_Admin, we are talking about chipsets, not discrete cards | 04:03 |
| Marfi | savvas: then what is the flashplugin-nonfree? | 04:03 |
| hotbabysexy | my question is will it mess up my ubuntu O/S if i install linux kernel 2.6.25 on my ubuntu? | 04:03 |
| tritium | Mean_Admin: phoronix.com is a good resource | 04:03 |
| daeo | pestilence: getting this error now after following "How-To" --> insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko': -1 Operation not permitted | 04:03 |
| savvas | Marfi: debian: http://packages.qa.debian.org/flashplugin-nonfree | 04:03 |
| skeletal | When i try access to irc.blackhat.ru, say in the scrren "there isn't route to server." | 04:03 |
| Marfi | JordiGH: If anything, you would have lost files on the Linux side. Windows shouldn't have scanned, though | 04:03 |
| skeletal | why? | 04:04 |
| ENERGIZE | i have 8.04 now and was looking into changing to 8.10 but can i take my installed files i have on 8.04 and put them on 8.10 | 04:04 |
| Mean_Admin | tritium: thanks ! | 04:04 |
| tritium | Mean_Admin: this isn't too old to be useful: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_hdmi&num=1 | 04:04 |
| hotbabysexy | hello | 04:04 |
| hotbabysexy | you there? | 04:04 |
| Flannel | ENERGIZE: you can upgrade to 8.10 | 04:04 |
| Marfi | ENERGIZE: yes, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:04 |
| Flannel | !patience | hotbabysexy | 04:04 |
| ubottu | hotbabysexy: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 04:04 |
| Mean_Admin | Titan8990: ok sorry I though you meant the 9400 model | 04:04 |
| JordiGH | Marfi: I'm confused, then. "Can't reproduce". I'll have to ask him again what exactly he did and saw. | 04:04 |
| sfer21 | !hi | hotbabysexy | 04:04 |
| ubottu | hotbabysexy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 04:04 |
| Izinucs | nobody here but us geeks. | 04:04 |
| JordiGH | Hey, how come I didn't get greeted? | 04:04 |
| Mean_Admin | tritium: that's basically brand new article ! :) | 04:04 |
| hotbabysexy | my question is will it mess up my ubuntu O/S if i install linux kernel 2.6.25 on my ubuntu? | 04:05 |
| sfer21 | hotbabysexy: Why do you need to? | 04:05 |
| === JordiGH is now known as nicebodchick | ||
| nicebodchick | Hello | 04:05 |
| sfer21 | If you don't need to, don't mess with it. | 04:05 |
| Marfi | JordiGH: ntfs-3g is in Linux. Imo...it works better than MS's ntfs. there is always a possibility of data being lost, but i don't see him looseing specific files | 04:05 |
| sfer21 | Nice try, JordiGH ;) | 04:05 |
| tritium | hotbabysexy: why would you do that? 2.6.27 is the current kernel in intrepid | 04:05 |
| nicebodchick | Marfi: Yeah, it's really weird. I'm gonna have to interrogate him. | 04:05 |
| hotbabysexy | http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/xref.html << i want to compile the code which only works with 2.6.25 | 04:06 |
| ENERGIZE | Marfi: i just tryed that but it says im already updated | 04:06 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | ENERGIZE | 04:06 |
| ubottu | ENERGIZE: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 04:06 |
| IcemanV9 | ENERGIZE: if you're already updated, then check to see what version; lsb_release -a | 04:07 |
| Mean_Admin | tritium: that article is basically saying 'chances are if you have ati 2000 series or up and you're fine" | 04:07 |
| tritium | Mean_Admin: not exactly. In fact, I'd advise you to go for nVidia over ATI. | 04:08 |
| Mean_Admin | tritium: all righty then | 04:08 |
| d_rugs420 | anyone have a problem with komodo edit? | 04:09 |

| ubottu | Dx, please see my private message | 05:00 |
| cybercom | how do i know the protocols????? Titan8990 | 05:00 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, you would have had to set them up in order for them to work | 05:00 |
| wxjeacen | ls | 05:00 |
| xshell | lol | 05:00 |
| Nytrix | Cyntek, try to mount it with gparted | 05:01 |
| xshell | having fun with my hp remote control :P | 05:01 |
| cybercom | no ... Titan8990 i never set any protocol | 05:01 |
| === rww_ is now known as rww | ||
| Titan8990 | cybercom, so how is this data getting from one computer to another? | 05:01 |
| cybercom | through network | 05:02 |
| wxjeacen | faint | 05:02 |
| cybercom | Titan8990: | 05:02 |
| wxjeacen | everybody knows that through net . | 05:02 |
| Peddy | Can someone please tell me how to open a shell on bootup using a xinitrc? | 05:03 |
| Nytrix | sudo apt-get install gparted | 05:03 |
| Cyntek | okay. | 05:03 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, its not magic | 05:03 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, I recommend setting up an rsync daemon on the computer that will be recieving the files | 05:03 |
| cybercom | Titan8990: ya its not but ...... wa | 05:03 |
| cybercom | oo ok | 05:04 |
| wxjeacen | what is up? | 05:04 |
| cybercom | isit can be run automate | 05:04 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, then your command will look like this: rsync -av /path/to/files 192.168.1.x:mybackup | 05:04 |
| usser | Peddy, put xterm & in ~/.xinitrc | 05:04 |
| xMopx | Hey guys - I was getting a cannot start X on my ubuntu, so I booted into recovery mode, removed gdm and now I can't install it because I don't have a network connection - what can I do? | 05:04 |
| Nytrix | then sudo gparted | 05:05 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, then you will add that to a text file, make it executable, then edit cron | 05:05 |
| Titan8990 | !cron | cybercom | 05:05 |
| ubottu | cybercom: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 05:05 |
| Cyntek | okay | 05:05 |
| usser | Peddy, problem is i think .xinitrc is ignored completely when you're running gnome or kde | 05:05 |
| Nytrix | then find the HD and mount | 05:05 |
| Titan8990 | usser, its not a gnome/kde thing, its a log-in manager thing that ignores .xinitrc | 05:06 |
| Jimmymaniac | to answer my own question, something like "nautilus -q && nautilus &" should restart it safely. Seems to have worked now. | 05:06 |
| usser | Titan8990, hm gdm, kdm, xdm? | 05:06 |
| cybercom | Titan8990: rsync -r -n -t -o -g -v --progress /home/cybercom/.gvfs/cybercom on 192.168.89.55/ /media/disk/backup ... isit it will come like rsync -av /home/cybercom@192.168.89.55:media/disk/bakup | 05:06 |
| Peddy | usser, I'm trying to get a terminal to run on an embedded system. There isn't even an xterm executable | 05:06 |
| usser | Peddy, eh? if you have X server you should have xterm | 05:07 |
| Peddy | usser, it uses a modified tinyx | 05:07 |
| Nytrix | Cyntek, sudo apt-get install gparted | 05:07 |
| Titan8990 | usser, all the above | 05:07 |
| Cyntek | Nytrix, Gparted says: (gpartedbin:5369): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: | 05:07 |
| Cyntek | No Gui. | 05:08 |
| Cyntek | i suppose! | 05:08 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, you shouldn't have to specify a username | 05:08 |
| Nytrix | gparted is gui | 05:08 |
| Nytrix | sudo gparted | 05:08 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, but the path to your homedirectory is not your username | 05:08 |
| cybercom | Titan8990: i can get you | 05:08 |
| cybercom | Titan8990: i cant get you | 05:08 |
| usser | Peddy, do you have any kind of gui terminal emulator on there? | 05:09 |
| Cyntek | im running ubuntu-server | 05:09 |
| Cyntek | no gui installed, only command line. | 05:09 |
| Peddy | usser, no, it's hacky (it's not meant to have a terminal at all, it's Asus' Expressgate) | 05:09 |
| xMopx | Hey guys, what can i do if /etc/fstab is gone? | 05:09 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, I don't get you... you changed my command and your question doesn't make sense | 05:10 |
| Nytrix | did u type in terminal "sudo gparted"? | 05:10 |
| Cyntek | Nytrix, yes. | 05:10 |
| Izinucs | xMopx look for /etc/fstab~ | 05:10 |
| cybercom | rsync -r -n -t -o -g -v --progress /home/cybercom/.gvfs/cybercom on 192.168.89.55/ /media/disk/backup | 05:10 |
| Nytrix | then inserted you password? | 05:10 |
| Cyntek | yes. | 05:10 |
| Izinucs | xMopx: or ~fstab | 05:10 |
| cybercom | this is the command that i get from grsync | 05:10 |
| spaceBARbarian | Flannel=> i used the interfaces file to set up the static IP but now ubuntu doesnt detect the adapter at all... | 05:10 |
| cybercom | how to convert it to rsync | 05:10 |
| Nytrix | and it just stays command line? nothing pops up? | 05:10 |
| xMopx | Izinucs: Thanks, but neither are showing up =( | 05:11 |
| Cyntek | Nytrix, (gpartedbin:5369): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: | 05:11 |
| cybercom | Titan8990: | 05:11 |
| Nytrix | hmm | 05:11 |
| usser | Peddy, i suppose you could get xterm sources and try to compile it, im not sure how it'll work cause you'll need to link to tinyx libraries use its .h files, sounds like you're in for one hell of a ride | 05:11 |
| Nytrix | wierd | 05:11 |
| Izinucs | xMopx: did you do something to make it disappear? | 05:11 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, I can't comprehend how that command could possibly work because it is illogical | 05:11 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, I am telling you the way I know how to do it | 05:11 |
| xMopx | Izinucs: I don't think so - I've had ubuntu booting from a flash card for a few weeks, and this issue came up today | 05:12 |
| Peddy | usser, according to some people I need a statically linked xterm, how would I achieve this? | 05:12 |
| cybercom | Titan8990: ok guide me | 05:12 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, you can choose to do it my way or continue to do what you are doing, its your choice | 05:12 |
| cybercom | how to do it | 05:12 |
| Cyntek | Nytrix, gparted is not working! | 05:12 |
| Cyntek | on ubuntu server 8.10 | 05:12 |
| usser | Peddy, whats the architecture of the device? is it intel, arm? | 05:12 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, are both machines running linux? | 05:12 |
| cybercom | yup | 05:12 |
| Peddy | usser, intel | 05:12 |
| Titan8990 | !rsync | 05:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync | 05:12 |
| Cyntek | without gtk gui. | 05:12 |
| Nytrix | Cyntek, sudo apt-get remove gparted | 05:13 |
| Cyntek | Alright. | 05:13 |
| Peddy | usser, it's like an embedded linux in my main motherboard, which boots in 3 seconds. | 05:13 |
| cybercom | Titan8990: yess the source is running on ubuntu 6.06 and the dest is running on ubuntu 8.04 | 05:13 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync | 05:13 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, on the destination follow the steps in the section "configuring of rsync daemon" | 05:13 |
| Nytrix | anyone, how do i save a specific program that is already installed so i wont have to config everything all over? | 05:14 |
| cybercom | i tried tat 1 but the command "sudo rsync --delete -azvv -e ssh /home | 05:14 |
| cybercom | is this gonna | 05:14 |
| bizkit | hey can i get some help setting up ubuntu server as a gateway | 05:14 |
| usser | Peddy, you can try the binary | 05:14 |
| usser | Peddy, hang on | 05:14 |
| Myst | ok im having some problems with my IPtables... right now my server does not have internet access when i apply the rules... i am wondering if anyone knows what i need to set to ensure my server has internet | 05:15 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, that wasn't what I was talking about but just for sake of getting you through this, we will use ssh | 05:15 |
| Brack10 | Hey there. Ubuntu keeps corrupting my microsd card on my blackberry when I unplug it. It doesn't recognise it half the time. Anyone know what's going on? How I can fix this? | 05:15 |
| Titan8990 | cybercom, on the destination machine do: sudo apt-get install open-ssh | 05:15 |
| usser | Peddy, http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Terminals/xterm-1781.shtml | 05:15 |
| Nytrix | JOIN #UBUNTU-SERVER | 05:15 |
| hmw | I am working on a system_info.sh script. Please test the current version http://paste.ubuntu.com/122672 | 05:15 |
| Peddy | usser, I had a look there, it's the source | 05:15 |
| cybercom | ok | 05:15 |
| Cyntek | Nytrix, okay | 05:15 |
| Peddy | usser, someone said I need to 'USE='static' emerge xterm && qpkg x11-terms/xterm', what does that mean? | 05:16 |
| Titan8990 | Peddy, that is for gentoo linux or freebsd only | 05:17 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| Titan8990 | Peddy, ubuntu does not use USE flags, emerge, or qpkg | 05:17 |
| usser | Peddy, thats from gentoo, it basically build an xterm binary statically linked, if your motherboard runs gentoo its the way to go | 05:17 |
| Peddy | Titan8990, ah, thanks. | 05:17 |
| Nytrix | anyone, how do i save a specific program that is already installed so i wont have to config everything all over again for another pc? | 05:17 |
| usser | Peddy, if not then that command is not much use | 05:17 |
| Peddy | usser, ah, so he meant to *build* a static xterm | 05:18 |
| Titan8990 | !clonning | Nytrix | 05:18 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about clonning | 05:18 |
| Titan8990 | !clone | Nytrix | 05:18 |
| ubottu | Nytrix: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 05:18 |
| Titan8990 | Nytrix, ehh, backup the config files? | 05:18 |
| Peddy | usser, how would I build a static xterm in ubuntu? | 05:18 |
| Titan8990 | Nytrix, or look into how to build your own .deb files | 05:18 |
| usser | Peddy, yea basically but it wouldnt matter if you build it statically or not, it still has to link to your X server libraries. Its just that in case of static compilation all the libraries are going to be compiled into xterm executable thus making it bigger | 05:19 |
| usser | Peddy, i suppose you could compile it statically on a gentoo box like that, and then copy over the resulting executable | 05:19 |
| Peddy | usser, does it have to be gentoo, or is there a Windows equivalent? | 05:20 |
| usser | Peddy, no windows | 05:20 |
| usser | Peddy, regarding ubuntu: sudo apt-get source xterm | 05:20 |
| Peddy | usser, does it have to be gentoo, or is there a Ubuntu equivalent* | 05:20 |
| Peddy | I don't even use Windows, what was I talking about -.- | 05:20 |
| usser | Peddy, yes sure use above command to obtain source file | 05:21 |
| usser | *files | 05:21 |
| Titan8990 | Peddy, there is not ubuntu equivilent of the gentoo package manager, but USE flags can still be used when compiling from source | 05:21 |
| Titan8990 | Peddy, it is rather difficult without the portage package manager though | 05:21 |
| hmw | I am working on a system_info.sh4script. Please someone test the current version http://paste.ubuntu.com/122672 | 05:21 |
| Peddy | Titan8990, I meant an 'equivalent' to that command :) but thanks for the info, how would I use those flags? configure --use=static? :P | 05:22 |
| usser | Peddy, actually you dont have to use sudo to obtain source | 05:22 |
| Brack10 | Here's my syslog when I unplugged my blackberry. It corrupted my filesystem. Anyone know how I can fix this? http://pastebin.com/m44b7606a | 05:22 |
| usser | Peddy, once you get the source go through usual ./configure, make cycle | 05:22 |
| Peddy | usser, yeah, if you do it messes up permissions :) | 05:22 |
| Titan8990 | Peddy, you would have to edit the makefile | 05:22 |
| usser | Peddy, make should have a whole bunch of options among which im sure is statically compile all libs | 05:23 |
| Peddy | usser, how would I set these options? | 05:23 |
| usser | Peddy, also if ./configure complains about missing libraries etc. use sudo apt-get build-dep xterm to obtain all the packages xterm depends on for compilation | 05:24 |
| Peddy | Titan8990, how should I edit the makefile? | 05:24 |
| Titan8990 | Peddy, I prefer nano | 05:24 |
| Peddy | Titan8990, which parts should I change? | 05:24 |
| usser | Peddy, usually make --statically-link-or-something-like-that --with-colors --with-scrollbar. you basically just pass parameters to make script, or you can modify the Makefile in the root of your xterm sourcecode directory | 05:25 |
| Titan8990 | Peddy, not entirely sure | 05:25 |
| Peddy | usser, I see a bunch of options, but nothing static-related... | 05:26 |
| error404notfound | I have a SATA 2, 500GB WD. When I attach it, I got something like "{ DRY ERROR }" and "{ DRY }" at bootup or during any operation. Do I need a special kernel module to support sata disks? It does show up in fdisk -l. | 05:26 |

| Flannel | mobodo: hit escape to access the GRUB menu, then choose 'recovery console' | 05:32 |
| mobodo | thanks :) | 05:32 |
| Peddy | usser, rxvt has the exact same make options. | 05:33 |
| Mal3ko | how do you supply password in ssh cmd? is there -p switch? | 05:33 |
| === kevin_ is now known as uvacav | ||
| Peddy | usser, I just found './configure --enable-static'. I'm on a 64-bit arch, but the embedded machine is not. Will static-linking make the executable fail on a 32-bit architecture? | 05:35 |

| Hilikus | can someone help me configure lirc, irw doesnt report any errors but it doestn show my key presses | 05:35 |
| usser | Peddy, compiling on 64 bit will produce 64 bit executable which will fail on 32 bit yes | 05:35 |
| Titan8990 | Mal3ko, ssh@ipaddress | 05:36 |
| Titan8990 | Mal3ko, then it asks for password | 05:36 |
| Peddy | usser, are you on 32-bit? | 05:36 |
| Mal3ko | Titan8990, no switch for supplying the password? | 05:36 |
| Titan8990 | Mal3ko, if you don't want to it ask for a password (for automated scripting) you need to configure public key authentication | 05:36 |
| usser | Peddy, yea | 05:36 |
| Titan8990 | Mal3ko, no | 05:36 |
| tech404 | Does anyone know if jaunty can be installed on a GPT disk withough a EFI chip? | 05:36 |
| Titan8990 | Mal3ko, they try to keep ssh very secure | 05:36 |
| Mal3ko | oic.. | 05:37 |
| Peddy | usser, would it be too much trouble to ask you to compile rxvt statically for me? I'd *really* appreciate it, because I have no access to a 32-bit machine. | 05:37 |
| usser | Peddy, hang one | 05:37 |
| Peddy | except, of course, the embedded thing, but I can't compile anything on that. | 05:37 |
| ScoTTie | with mdadm, if you --fail --remove a device, and --add it back will it show up as a spare until its finished rebuilding? | 05:38 |
| usser | Peddy, cant find that --enable-static option | 05:38 |
| usser | Peddy, its not listed as an flag to ./configure | 05:39 |
| Peddy | usser, oh no, I thought that if configure doesn't fail it means it configured sucessfully... but it doesn't return errors even when random stuff is entered. | 05:39 |
| usser | Peddy, yep | 05:40 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 05:42 |
| Nytrix | peddy, maybe tightvnc | 05:43 |
| Peddy | Nytrix, you don't understand what we've been talking about :) | 05:43 |
| tech404 | Nytrix: while I would agree there is usually no "best" tightvnc is a great choice for most people | 05:43 |
| Peddy | usser, ok. | 05:43 |
| usser | Peddy, i got it, never done much compiling it was a compiler flag in the environment variable $CFLAGS that you have to set | 05:45 |
| Nytrix | :-) | 05:45 |
| Peddy | usser, what is the variable? | 05:45 |

| usser | Peddy, how can i send it to you | 05:48 |

| rd80770 | Hi | 05:50 |
| Huufarted | Anybody know a decent way to test network throughput between 2 PCs on a LAN? | 05:50 |
| cooldduuudde1 | cybersurfer you can use vlc | 05:50 |

| CyberSurfer | Kay, I don't like VLC that much, I rather use Mplayer | 05:51 |
| cooldduuudde1 | totem can play mkv too | 05:52 |
| CyberSurfer | The video works but the sound doesn't | 05:52 |
| Huufarted | CyberSurfer, the benefit of VLC is it's inclusion of all major codecs, negating the need for additional installs | 05:52 |
| crdlb | CyberSurfer: matroska is just a container format, which mplayer definitely supports | 05:52 |
| CyberSurfer | okay | 05:52 |
| crdlb | it may or may not support the format of the video and/or audio streams muxed _inside_ the mkv container | 05:52 |

| IcemanV9 | Uplink_: there is instruction on opendns.com | 05:55 |
| Uplink_ | ty | 05:55 |
| MrPocketz | yeup, i've got a dualboot for when I get the itch | 05:56 |
| Titan8990 | MrPocketz, windows is nothing more than a gaming system to me now.... | 05:56 |
| MrPocketz | yessah | 05:56 |
| MrPocketz | the directory /usr is where programs i DL go yes? | 05:56 |
| christian_ | is there a logfile somewhere while a terminal session is open that displays everything that is printed out? | 05:56 |
| Titan8990 | MrPocketz, /usr/ often contains application binaries, yes | 05:57 |
| crdlb | christian_: no | 05:57 |
| Huufarted | MrPocketz, the binary goes there, however there may be other locations where the rest of the files go | 05:57 |
| MrPocketz | i need to know where Azureas just DL's to so i can point my .torrents to the right application | 05:57 |
| rootzig | hello | 05:57 |
| rootzig | ;P | 05:57 |
| christian_ | so if something was printed out, and then I deleted the file, and it has gone up past the point where I can scroll, it is gone forever? | 05:57 |
| Titan8990 | MrPocketz, run the command: which azureas | 05:57 |
| Huufarted | MrPocketz, first I'm going to recommend using a different BitTorrent client. That being said, Check Azureus' settings | 05:57 |
| crdlb | christian_: yes, that buffer is stored in memory | 05:58 |
| MrPocketz | Huufarted, i've alwys used it, no problems. What do you use? | 05:58 |
| Titan8990 | MrPocketz, and with what Huufarted, I personally like transmission | 05:58 |
| _VIM_ | christian_: with Konsole you can have unlimited buffer :) | 05:58 |
| christian_ | crdlb, is there anywhere I might try looking for that information? Or is it just gone/binary in memory only | 05:58 |
| christian_ | _VIM_, what is console? I am guessing it is something that I have to set up before hand? | 05:58 |
| Huufarted | MrPocketz, honestly I haven't in Linux yet, but if it's anything like Windows, it's a disgusting implementation with it's Java usage | 05:58 |
| MrPocketz | oh gosd | 05:59 |
| MrPocketz | yeah | 05:59 |
| MrPocketz | no | 05:59 |
| _VIM_ | christian_: sudo apt-get install konsole then in konsole's preferences you can set unlimited buffer | 05:59 |

| Huufarted | hundreds of megabytes of RAM easily | 05:59 |
| MrPocketz | hah, Vuse (what they call Azureas for windows) actually raped my dads box last night | 05:59 |
| christian_ | and if it was over SSH, then is that transmission also gone, i.e. printed and then deleted? | 05:59 |
| Titan8990 | MrPocketz, yeah, just do: sudo apt-get install transmission | 05:59 |
| MrPocketz | within 5 minutes of running it my IDS started spitting out logs of attempted proxy connections and trojan deployments | 06:00 |
| Huufarted | Titan8990! There you are. I got my rsync situation handled no problem. | 06:00 |
| Titan8990 | christian_, if you have a need to keep that, you can always direct stdio to a file | 06:00 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, good to hear :) | 06:00 |

| Titan8990 | Huufarted, nice, had to give up on delta copy? | 06:01 |
| Huufarted | Titan8990, it's not as pretty as your implementation, but it works incredibly. I also removed my Fat32 partition and moved it all to Ext3. | 06:01 |
| Huufarted | Titan8990, I don't know the deal with DeltaCopy. the rsync daemon REFUSED to load on that PC, but it did on all the others | 06:01 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, odd | 06:02 |
| Huufarted | Titan8990, agreed. Either way, this one uses a very simplified wrapper and it works incredibly well. | 06:02 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, I have done something similar before to get ssh to run on a window server 2003 for openvpn | 06:03 |
| Huufarted | Titan8990, this is really strange and something I'm working on. Transfers from that PC using rsync pulls about 10-12 MB/second max (usually 7-8MB/sec) and it's on 100 MBit. | 06:03 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, thats actually about right | 06:04 |
| Huufarted | 2 PCs both with Gigabit, attached directly with a single cable pull about 6-7 MB MAX. | 06:04 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, I have never seen any protocol pull much more than that on gbit network | 06:04 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, I personally don't know the bottleneck is either | 06:05 |
| Huufarted | Titan8990, gigabit should be able to push 100 MB/sec easily | 06:05 |
| Huufarted | Titan8990, No, I'm not asking for help, I was just mentioning it. :) Small talk I suppose. I suck at it. | 06:05 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, you would think, but your drives can only handle 30-60 mb/s | 06:05 |
| Huufarted | yeah, that's true. | 06:05 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, I am also not good with small talk, a bit easier when both are geeks though :P | 06:06 |
| Huufarted | hahahaha | 06:06 |

| Titan8990 | |HSO|SadiQ, yes, let me finish helping dadda | 07:14 |
| crdlb | |HSO|SadiQ: it's probably unrelated to compositing | 07:14 |
| Titan8990 | dadda, alright, if this doesn't work to referse the settings we made: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:14 |
| twain | glitsj16? | 07:14 |
| Titan8990 | dadda, hit CTRL+ATL+backspace to restart xserver | 07:15 |

| crdlb | Titan8990: he has blank ttys with the nvidia driver and I thought it might have been caused by having a compositing manager enabled | 07:18 |

| clearzen | glitsj16: hmm, Well I guess I need to reinstall *sigh* | 07:18 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | crdlb, so...any other aproach to my tty's problem besides compositing? | 07:18 |

| === Potjie is now known as co | ||
| xemacs | -which is still quite enough ;)- | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | clearzen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit | 07:22 |
| Titan8990 | dadda, and it does not take up the entire screen? | 07:22 |
| ardchoille | twain: open a new tab, type in about:config in that new tab you will see a textbox next to "Filter:", type in closebuttons and change the number to what you want | 07:22 |
| tri__ | Can dd command help to write to mbr | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Titan8990: 64bit OSes usually have funky ram managers so it can be even more than 2^64 | 07:22 |
| dadda | Titan8990, correct I have a strip of un used space below and on the right side | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tri__: sure | 07:22 |
| Titan8990 | tri__, yes, dd can write to mbr | 07:22 |
| ardchoille | twain: changing the "Value" to 1 will result in "X" on each tab | 07:23 |
| Titan8990 | dadda, odd, are you sure it is using 1920x1200 resolution? | 07:23 |
| tri__ | ActionParsnip1, can u give me complete syntax | 07:23 |
| dadda | Titan8990, Yes | 07:23 |
| Titan8990 | tri__, we don't know what you are trying to accomplish | 07:23 |
| clearzen | so, if I am running a 64bit os with 32 bit software lets say firefox. Would 32bit firefox be able to use more than 3.2GB of Ram? | 07:23 |
| dadda | Titan8990, How do I take a screenshot so you can take a look at it | 07:23 |
| co | hii | 07:23 |
| Titan8990 | dadda, prtscn button | 07:24 |
| crdlb | clearzen: no, since it stores the memory address in a 32bit int | 07:24 |
| Titan8990 | tri__, if you wanted to say, write zeros to only the mbr it would be like: dd if=/dev/sdx bs=512 count=1 of=/dev/zero | 07:24 |
| crdlb | the system memory limit for 32bit can be worked around, but not the per-process one | 07:25 |
| clearzen | crdlb: ok that's what I thought. Thanks for the help | 07:25 |
| Booh | I have a movie file without extension, how to know wich video format is? | 07:25 |
| twain | i cant find it,.. in file,edit,view,history,tools, | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tri__: well i dont know what you want to write there, or even why | 07:25 |
| xemacs | (08:25:02) (crdlb) the system memory limit for 32bit can be worked around, but not the per-process one <- photoshop had such a workaround | 07:25 |
| Titan8990 | Booh, you could vlc, so it doesn't matter, but otherwise, google | 07:25 |
| glitsj16 | peterson: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/06/23/install-adobe-acrobat-reader-812-on-ubuntu-804/ .. despite the reference to 8.1.2 it works for recent 8.1.3 as well | 07:25 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | Titan8990, adding compositing didn't solve my tty's :( | 07:25 |
| xemacs | it could use more than 2gb (which is the limit for 32bit apps in windows) | 07:25 |
| crdlb | xemacs: ok, but I mean generally :) | 07:26 |
| Booh | Titan8990, I need to know because facebook need extension to import... | 07:26 |
| Titan8990 | |HSO|SadiQ, xorg does not effect the TTYs | 07:26 |
| crdlb | like without modifying apps | 07:26 |
| clearzen | Booh: well technically the linux kenel doesn't care about extensions but gnome does. Just name it .avi and vlc will play it more than likely | 07:26 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | Titan8990, you know what does then?? | 07:26 |
| Booh | Titan8990, it's my own video extracted from a vhs... to vcd | 07:26 |

| dadda | Titan8990, How do I get Print Screen Button Image into a picture file? | 07:27 |
| peterson | thanks glitsj16 | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tri__: grub can do that for you | 07:27 |
| glitsj16 | peterson: you're welcome | 07:27 |
| Titan8990 | tri__, floppies do not have MBRs | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tri__: i dont know the bits and bytes to write an MBR, grub does | 07:27 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | Titan8990, is it "normal" that I have to manually change that line or is it a bug? | 07:27 |

| ubottu | scrow213: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 07:52 |
| scrow213 | lol ok | 07:52 |
| === akh3n4t0n is now known as pinky1 | ||
| scrow213 | Well I am having a problem with Firefox and Flash programs | 07:52 |
| GB1 | IRQ #15 is slave IDE (cd rom)? | 07:52 |
| scrow213 | I already have Adobe 10 installed | 07:52 |
| scrow213 | But, for instance, YouTube frequently does not work | 07:52 |
| Seveas | describe 'does not work' :) | 07:53 |
| scrow213 | Well some videos I attempt to load just show a blank white spot | 07:53 |
| scrow213 | Some load fine | 07:53 |
| scrow213 | Some just say they are loading but do nothing | 07:53 |
| ActionParsnip2 | scrow213: 32bit or 64bit linux? | 07:53 |
| Seveas | are you using any adblocker? | 07:53 |
| scrow213 | 64 | 07:53 |
| scrow213 | Not to my knowledge | 07:53 |
| Seveas | ah, 64bit flash is still quite buggy afaik | 07:54 |
| scrow213 | But I can't explain it | 07:54 |
| scrow213 | For instance | 07:54 |
| scrow213 | Homestarrunner.com | 07:54 |
| scrow213 | I can view parts of the site which is entirely flash (I think) | 07:54 |
| Viking667 | Okay, I'm out of here. | 07:54 |
| scrow213 | and other parts I cannot load properly | 07:54 |
| scrow213 | I just don't know what to do | 07:56 |
| paul68 | hi I have a problem with ssh I can succesfully connect from my laptop => server, laptop => desktop , desktop=> server however I am not able to connect from my server or desktop to my laptop even removed the known hosts and reinstalled everything on my laptop please adviced? | 07:56 |
| Seveas | scrow213, wait for adobe to fix it or use 32bit version :) | 07:56 |
| scrow213 | How do I switch to 32? | 07:56 |
| ActionParsnip2 | scrow213: here's how i do it: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2008/11/25/64-bit-adobe-flash-ubuntu.html | 07:56 |
| Seveas | nspluginwrapper | 07:56 |
| Seveas | paul68, is openssh-servr installed and running on the laptop? It's not installed by default | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip2 | scrow213: if you manually download the 64bit .so and put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins you win | 07:57 |
| scrow213 | Grr... such a computer tard... | 07:57 |
| scrow213 | I will try to figure this out | 07:58 |
| paul68 | Seveas: yes its running | 07:58 |
| Seveas | paul68, what's the error you get then? Could you pastebin the output of 'ssh -vvv laptop' ? | 07:59 |
| WarriorSlayer | ppl how i get rid of a package that tried to install and could not be installed and now is locked in apt-get? | 07:59 |

| WarriorSlayer | Seveas: ty ^^ | 08:00 |
| AnRkey | where does gnome-main-menu store it's settings for the "start" icon | 08:01 |
| AnRkey | ? | 08:01 |
| === vpol_ is now known as vpol | ||
| Seveas | AnRkey, I wouldn't be surprised if it's somewhere in gconf | 08:01 |
| Milkeh | how come my openoffice is a bunch of symbols? | 08:02 |
| crdlb | I believe it's just an image somewhere in /usr/share | 08:02 |
| jxander | is there any usb 5.1 sound card working great with ubuntu? | 08:02 |
| Seveas | crdlb, that's also very well possible. Something with 'vendor' in the name iirc | 08:02 |
| scrow213 | Can someone assist me with Terminal? I am attempting to manually move this file but I am not sure how to terminal my way into the folder | 08:02 |
| Seveas | Milkeh, the document or the application interface? | 08:02 |
| paul68 | Seveas: solved the problem it was a username issue | 08:03 |
| Seveas | paul68, ok :) | 08:03 |

| llragsll | I have an ubuntu gateway hare through which all traffic goes. I need a way to monitor the data transferred through this machine. any suggestions? | 08:04 |
| Seveas | llragsll, iptraf, bwm, wireshark/tshark | 08:04 |
| Stralytic | llragsll, monitor in real time, or over a period? | 08:05 |
| llragsll | thx Seves... | 08:05 |
| Milkeh | Seveas, application interface | 08:05 |
| Seveas | llragsll, or mrtg or cacti if you want graphs | 08:05 |
| phrozendead | How do I manage my iTouch on ubuntu 9.04? | 08:05 |
| llragsll | monitored in realtime will be better... | 08:05 |
| Seveas | Milkeh, missing font package? is ubuntu-desktopp still installed, is apt-get giving errors? | 08:05 |
| llragsll | actually I was using munin.. | 08:05 |
| Seveas | munin will do as well | 08:06 |
| llragsll | but I munin doesn't give the data transfered | 08:06 |
| Stralytic | llragsll, i like trafshow in package netdiag | 08:06 |
| llragsll | it just give the rate... | 08:06 |
| Seveas | Stralytic, is that like iptraf? | 08:06 |
| Milkeh | Seveas, nope and nope | 08:06 |
| Stralytic | llragsll, you want to capture the actual packets? | 08:06 |
| Milkeh | Seveas, wait sorry, I think ubuntu-desktop is still installed, and geting no apt errors | 08:07 |
| Seveas | Milkeh, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop then (unless you're using kubuntu/xubuntu) | 08:07 |
| Stralytic | Seveas, yeah similar | 08:07 |
| llragsll | Stralytic, not to capture, but to get the data going thru the gateway | 08:07 |
| llragsll | sort of a counter, in and out | 08:07 |
| scrow213 | Can someone look at this page and see if it loads normally for them? http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html | 08:07 |
| Seveas | Stralytic, bwm is what you want then | 08:07 |
| Seveas | it's a commandline app that just shows line rates | 08:07 |
| crdlb | AnRkey: it looks like the easiest way to change it is indeed via gconf, run 'gconf-editor /apps/panel/objects', look in menu_bar_screen0 (if you use the menu bar), enable use_custom_icon and set custom_icon to the file you want | 08:08 |
| llragsll | there are tools to get the data rate...but wht abt the total transfered...like so-so gb's... | 08:08 |
| scrow213 | Anyone at all? I cannot figure out why it won't work! | 08:08 |
| Stralytic | scrow213, it's flash | 08:08 |
| scrow213 | Right, and I have flash installed, Flashblock disabled | 08:09 |
| AnRkey | crdlb, thanks, i just wanna take that tiny black arrow off the top of the icon | 08:09 |
| scrow213 | And I tried the manual method that was linked. | 08:09 |
| scrow213 | Still won't load properly | 08:09 |
| crdlb | AnRkey: that's not actually part of the icon | 08:09 |
| AnRkey | crdlb, it would be perfect if it was not there | 08:09 |
| AnRkey | crdlb, i know, it's an overlayed icon | 08:10 |
| Seveas | llragsll, sudo iptables -L -v -n. That'll tell you the amount transfered since booting | 08:10 |
| scrow213 | Is it Gnash that is not working properly? | 08:10 |
| Seveas | (I'm sure there are better ways of getting that info, but this one works too :)) | 08:10 |
| * AnRkey scurries off to try crdlb's suggestion | 08:10 | |
| Th0rz | i installed cgi irc on my server... but where is the conf files? | 08:11 |
| ApOgEE- | is it possible to select/highlight text in gnome-terminal using keyboard only? | 08:11 |
| ununk | hi for all | 08:11 |
| Th0rz | i installed via "apt-get" | 08:11 |
| Stralytic | llragsll, if you want to graph your usage over a month to make sure your isp is not ripping you off ... or similar... try cacti, with snmp installed on you linux box | 08:11 |
| scrow213 | Well clearly I am failing at Ubuntu | 08:12 |
| glitsj16 | scrow213: could be gnash, hard to tell ... did you test the official adobe flash plugin to compare both ? | 08:13 |
| bohemian_ | ActionParsnip2: thank for the reply, my synaptics says i'm using 173 nvidia driver. how do i reconfigure this config to use the driver properly? | 08:13 |
| Th0rz | someone? | 08:13 |
| AnRkey | crdlb, do you know where that extra little icon/arrow thingies conf is? | 08:13 |
| crdlb | ApOgEE-: not that I know of, but you can if you run screen inside of it | 08:13 |
| crdlb | AnRkey: hardcoded I'm sure :/ | 08:13 |
| scrow213 | I honestly don't know. Here is how it went after I installed Ubuntu | 08:14 |
| AnRkey | crdlb, NO!!!! please don't say that | 08:14 |
| Milkeh | so can anybody possibly fix my openoffice? | 08:14 |
| AnRkey | bah | 08:14 |
| scrow213 | Went to YouTube, Firefox said I need plugins. Installed all 3 options | 08:14 |
| scrow213 | Nothing worked | 08:15 |
| AnRkey | Milkeh, what is it doing or not doing? | 08:15 |
| AnRkey | have u consulted the oracle? (google) | 08:15 |
| Milkeh | AnRkey, my whole interface is a silly symbol font, besides the document itself | 08:15 |
| glitsj16 | scrow213: you shouldn't opt for all 3, things conflict that way .. what plugin is active at the moment in your firefox ? | 08:16 |
| rjb | hello all, I am new to all this and I just installed Ubuntu and have already messed sudo up some how when I try to do something that requires a su login I get an error saying I don't have permissions to do that | 08:16 |
| bohemian_ | ActionParsnip2: here's my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d17ec6c86 | 08:16 |
| bohemian_ | ActionParsnip2: here's my Mxorg.conf which created based on Xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d35faa660 | 08:16 |
| rjb | is there a config file I can edit to fix things | 08:16 |
| AnRkey | Milkeh, create a new user and log in to it. See if it's still borked, if it's not then it's a profile issue | 08:17 |
| bohemian_ | Mxorg.conf is the xorg used by userful multiplier which i use to create multiseats in ubuntu | 08:17 |
| bohemian_ | buy wasn't able to separate the 2 screens properly | 08:17 |
| rjb | I cannot even get into do the user configs | 08:18 |
| cooldduuudde | .mp4 files open with realplayer by default. what can i do to make it totem? | 08:18 |
| rjb | even tried to su in a bash terminal and it would not accept my password | 08:18 |
| rww | cooldduuudde: Right-click a .mp4 file, click Properties, then click Open With. You should be able to change it to Totem from there. | 08:18 |
| Milkeh | cooldduuudde, right click an .mp4 document, properties, Open With | 08:18 |
| cooldduuudde | got it | 08:19 |
| cooldduuudde | ok now the second thing. how 2 change filetype icons? | 08:19 |
| scrow213 | How do I check to see which is active? | 08:20 |
| Stralytic | scrow213, go to about:plugins in your browser | 08:20 |
| cooldduuudde | i want .torrent files to have Vuze icon. how 2 do dat? | 08:21 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | how do I add a rule to unblock the port 27960 on both UDP and TCP | 08:21 |
| |HSO|SadiQ | !iptables | 08:22 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 08:22 |
| scrow213 | about plugins? Where is that? | 08:22 |
| cooldduuudde | !icons | 08:22 |
| ubottu | Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (GNOME) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) | 08:22 |
| cooldduuudde | !change icons | 08:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about change icons | 08:22 |
| rww | scrow213: type it into your address bar (the same place you'd usually type addresses of websites) | 08:23 |
| ApOgEE- | crdlb, thanks | 08:23 |
| glitsj16 | scrow213: enter "about:plugins" in the urlbar, if you set about:config key plugin.expose_full_path to true you get the exact file system location of each installed plugin, handy if you want to test a few by renaming temporarily instead of removing things | 08:23 |
| scrow213 | ok | 08:24 |
| scrow213 | I have a lot | 08:24 |
| scrow213 | You want the list of plugin names or the list of filenames? | 08:24 |
| === Blacki_ is now known as Blacki | ||
| glitsj16 | scrow213: which ones are enabled for the swf and spl mime-types ? | 08:25 |
| scrow213 | Umm | 08:25 |
| scrow213 | I think I know what you are asking | 08:25 |
| scrow213 | Shockwave Flash | 08:25 |
| cooldduuudde | i want .torrent files to have Vuze icon. how 2 do dat? | 08:25 |
| scrow213 | Another one called Shockwave Flash | 08:26 |
| scrow213 | lol | 08:26 |
| scrow213 | And a third one called the same thing | 08:26 |
| glitsj16 | scrow213: there you have it :) open the add-ons menu option, tat has a plugin section, and disable the redundant ones to test | 08:27 |
| scrow213 | Ok | 08:27 |
| scrow213 | So just disable any two of them | 08:27 |
| scrow213 | And see if that does it? | 08:28 |
| glitsj16 | scrow213: to test yes, if you're happy with one, i'd say remove the others from your system (the file location can help here) | 08:28 |
| foo | I have the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver activated, but apparently it's not "actively in use." What would I need to do to make it used? | 08:29 |
| scrow213 | Nope | 08:29 |
| scrow213 | I tried and one of them does exactly what it does now | 08:29 |
| scrow213 | The other two do nothing at all if they are the only ones enabled | 08:29 |
| rww | foo: copy your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link to the past URL here. | 08:30 |
| foo | rww: thanks. http://x03.ath.cx/temp/xorg.conf | 08:30 |
| glitsj16 | scrow213: i realize the official adobe plugin isn't open source, but personally i have no issues with it .. in other words, i'd keep that one ... if you enable only that one, does your issue still exists ? | 08:31 |
| foo | rww: ultimately trying to enable compiz, eg. visual effects = extra. I get this error: Desktop effects could not be enabled. thanks | 08:31 |
| rampageoberon | Hi, | 08:31 |

| === sean is now known as Guest39586 | ||
| scrow213 | Like I said, one of them changes nothing. The other two don't load anything at all | 08:31 |
| rampageoberon | What exactly is the feature in the ubuntu bash shell that tells you what to install for a particular binary? | 08:32 |
| scrow213 | So not one of them works right | 08:32 |
| xlevel1 | hi, I can't get fglrx to work. I can't enable it in restricted drivers manager (the gui just sits there...) | 08:32 |
| foo | rww: yes. hard reboot, restart twice, etc. Definitely something else, hmm. | 08:32 |
| scrow213 | There is just one that does exactly what my computer already does | 08:32 |

| DJNomad | I mount my phone and i dont have permission to do anything with it | 08:35 |
| Iradieh__ | If I want to TOTALLY remove xfce4 and every trace of it, what do I type then? I tried sudo apt-get autoremmove --purge xfce4 but the file size seemed smaller then when I installed | 08:35 |

| DJNomad | I very easily could of mounted it wrong | 08:35 |
| scrow213 | I am totally lost on what to do | 08:35 |
| glitsj16 | scrow213: to compound the issue ... youtube uses flash video (flv), so you'll need another plugin for those as well .. do you find something enabled for flv suffixes in your about:plugins page ? | 08:36 |
| DJNomad | sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd1 /media/usbdisk I mounted using this | 08:36 |

| scrow213 | No | 08:39 |
| rww | Milkeh: Ubuntu 8.10 ships with OpenOffice.org 2.4 because 3.0 came out too late for Ubuntu developers to test it. Since Ubuntu doesn't upgrade packages to new major versions after Ubuntu versions are released, OO.org 3.0 will not be released to intrepid-updates. For various reasons, it's also not in intrepid-backports. You can either wait until Jaunty, which will have OO.org 3, or use an... | 08:39 |
| rww | ...unofficial method like http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml | 08:39 |

| iandan | ? | 08:41 |
| scrow213 | Ok I have synaptic open | 08:41 |
| rww | foo: Looks like fglrx is being loaded, but it's complaining about DRI problems. Since Compiz needs DRI, this is likely what your problem is. What version of Ubuntu are you using, and are you using the version of fglrx in the Ubuntu repositories, or from ATI's website? | 08:42 |
| scrow213 | What am I looking for now? | 08:42 |

| AnRkey | rm ~/.openoffice.org* -Rf | 08:44 |
| scrow213 | Ok, all I have under "installed" is: | 08:44 |
| scrow213 | gnash | 08:44 |
| scrow213 | gnash-common | 08:44 |
| AnRkey | copy and paste it before u do a / by mistake :) | 08:44 |
| foo | rww: hm, I see. /me looks at logs to try to find that. I see. I'm on intrepid. Not sure about fglrx version. Looks like xorg-driver-fglrx = 2:8.543-0ubuntu4.1 from dpkg -l |grep -i fglrx | 08:44 |
| scrow213 | mozilla-plugin-gnash | 08:44 |
| iandan | anyone knows whether the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 will work with Ubuntu? | 08:44 |
| scrow213 | Thats all | 08:44 |
| Iradieh__ | AnRkey: me? | 08:44 |
| mick02 | Folks, I was trying to do an update yesterday when I was told that I had to do a partial upgrade instead of just the normal update. When I tried to run it I got the following error in my /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log file http://pastebin.com/f6a608dbb | 08:44 |
| AnRkey | Iradieh__, no Milkeh | 08:44 |
| rww | Iradieh__: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome -> try the line under "remove xubuntu" | 08:45 |
| glitsj16 | scrow213: the mozilla-plugin-gnash is the one you want to mark for complete removal | 08:45 |
| Milkeh | AnRkey, done done | 08:45 |
| AnRkey | iandan, check if it's black listed | 08:45 |
| Iradieh__ | rww: I did | 08:45 |
| Iradieh__ | rww: It didnt remove anything | 08:45 |
| iandan | Andelkrag, where? | 08:45 |
| iandan | AnRkey, where? | 08:45 |
| scrow213 | ok | 08:45 |
| AnRkey | Milkeh, open OOo | 08:45 |
| AnRkey | iandan, one sec | 08:45 |
| dec3164 | could someone help me with SSHing into a computer behind a router? | 08:45 |
| Milkeh | AnRkey, same deal | 08:46 |
| mick02 | dec3164, have you forwarded the ports on the router? | 08:46 |
| foo | rww: if you'd like me to do anything, let me know. I know I've gotten this to work before, hmm. | 08:46 |
| illumin8 | What is the best method for knowing if someone is connected to your machine in ubuntu? | 08:46 |
| glitsj16 | scrow213: what was the third one you installed through firefox besides flashplugin-nonfree ? try to do a search on that in synaptic with the info from the about:plugins page in firefox | 08:46 |
| Ape | dec3164: You have to forward the port 22 to the target computer from your router | 08:46 |
| scrow213 | Ok completely removed | 08:46 |
| rww | foo: Okay, so you're using the Ubuntu repository versions, your video card is supported by fglrx... so it's just DRI failing to initialize for some reason. Hmm. | 08:46 |
| dec3164 | yeah, but i haven't been able to get it to work | 08:47 |
| AnRkey | Milkeh, did you have openoffice closed when u did the command? | 08:47 |
| foo | rww: trrying apt-get --reinstall --purge install xorg-driver-fglrx ... not sure if it's going to work, but I'm not having much luck elseware :) /me restarts X | 08:47 |
| dec3164 | i used the IP that the router recognizes the computer as, would that be rioght? | 08:47 |
| glitsj16 | scrow213: ok, restart firefox to get those changes activated, and reinstall the flashplugin-nonfree as only one through synaptic | 08:47 |
| Milkeh | AnRkey, sure did | 08:48 |
| AnRkey | hmm | 08:48 |
| AnRkey | one sec | 08:48 |
| Nom- | Ugh... anyone have any suggestions on some way I could nicely add an NFS mount when a package is installed, and remove it when the package is removed ? | 08:48 |
| mick02 | dec3164, what type of router have you got? Have you looked at the website www.portforward.com to make sure that you've forwarded the ports correctly? You also have to make sure that you have your ssh server running on the target machine | 08:48 |
| Nom- | I was hoping fstab.d was there, but looks like that's really, really new and doesn't work with 8.04 or 8.10 | 08:49 |
| scrow213 | Haha! | 08:49 |
| Michael- | Hi | 08:49 |
| glitsj16 | scrow213: any improvement ? | 08:49 |
| StyleSheep | is it possible to activate headphones and disable the speakers on a laptop? i often work in the train and i don't want that if i pull out the headphones, that the sound goes over the speakers | 08:49 |
| scrow213 | You, sir or ma'am, are my hero! | 08:50 |

| foo | rww: hm, nothing. What bugs me is I still see: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system when I go to "hardware drivers" | 08:50 |
| scrow213 | You and me both | 08:50 |
| Malks | what does the second line mean? | 08:50 |

| scrow213 | I am glad someone knows something about computers | 08:51 |
| glitsj16 | :) very welcome, enjoy the flashes | 08:51 |
| dec3164 | dynex, and yeah, i read the section for my router on portforward, i'm just not sure i'm feeding it the right IP... it's the 192.168.1.101, no? | 08:51 |
| Michael- | Too many people here | 08:51 |
| Michael- | Hahaha | 08:51 |
| scrow213 | Farewell | 08:51 |
| mick02 | dec3164, Each macinh on your LAN will have different IP addresses. You need to make sure that you are pointing port 22 to the right IP address | 08:52 |
| glitsj16 | scrow213: see ya, keep well | 08:52 |
| rww | foo: Do you have a linux-restricted-modules package installed? | 08:52 |
| iandan | AnRkey, have you found something? I tried google but have found no results | 08:52 |
| AnRkey | iandan, no nothing yet | 08:52 |
| dec3164 | yeah, the 101 is the one i want it to forward to... that's what the router recognizes it as... | 08:53 |
| mshkaji | hi computer_ you just go to the shutdown icon right click it ....u will see setup login screen... | 08:53 |
| rww | foo: Oh, you could also try some of the stuff on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Troubleshooting . It might help, I guess. | 08:53 |
| the_gamer | hi folks | 08:53 |
| iandan | AnRkey, :( | 08:53 |
| kraut | moin | 08:53 |
| mick02 | dec3164, for example, if you have a webserver with IP address 192.168.1.100 and a SSH server on 192.168.1.101 you would need to get your router to forward all http requests on port 80 to 192.168.1.100 and all traffic requests to port 22 to IP 192.168.1.101 | 08:53 |
| AnRkey | iandan, u having the same issue as Milkeh ? | 08:54 |
| the_gamer | i need the video/x-pn-icm-plugin but i can't find it in the synaptics packet manager, could anybody tell me in what package it is or how to install it? | 08:54 |
| mick02 | dec3164, can you ssh into the box when you're at home? | 08:54 |
| mick02 | dec3164, i.e. so that your router doesn't need to forward the port | 08:54 |
| dec3164 | mick02, if i plug the box directly into the wall, i have no problems | 08:54 |
| foo | rww: I do | 08:54 |
| Michael- | I think there are a lot of network manager here | 08:55 |
| Michael- | Am I right ? | 08:55 |
| iandan | AnRkey, No, I'm planning to buy a new laptop which has this video chipset and I'm not sure whether I cand find drivers for it or not | 08:55 |
| AnRkey | oh yes soz man got side tracked | 08:55 |
| iandan | on the ATI support page it does not exist | 08:55 |
| AnRkey | iandan, you need to find out if that product is blacklisted | 08:55 |
| iandan | ...and the retailer delivers the laptop FreeDos | 08:55 |
| AnRkey | try ubuntu+1 and ask the devs | 08:56 |

| foo | rww: hm, I wonder, should I try to get the open source drivers working? | 08:56 |
| camjay | Hi guys, i have a question about installing ubuntu 8.10 32bit using UNETBOOTIN, I've installed it and selected unetbootin from the boot menu, but it gives me an error saying it cant find "GRLDR" on all drives. i imagine its looking for that grub-loader thing. | 08:56 |
| camjay | anybody know how i could fix that? | 08:56 |
| iandan | AnRkey, I'll try. Thanks for help | 08:56 |
| BiosElement | Question, How do I go about backing up my gnome panel settings? Because I want to see how I like removing one but I want a backup so I don't have to re-arrange the icons and such. | 08:56 |
| rww | foo: Compiz doesn't work with the open source drivers for most cards. | 08:56 |
| foo | rww: ah, darn, ok. let me check out that troubleshooting guide, I suppose, thanks! | 08:56 |
| AnRkey | iandan, ok no probs (btw, go for nvidia, it's always less trouble) | 08:56 |
| StyleSheep | is it possible to activate headphones and disable the speakers on a laptop? i often work in the train and i don't want that if i pull out the headphones, that the sound goes over the speakers | 08:57 |
| AnRkey | StyleSheep, yes it is | 08:57 |
| StyleSheep | how? | 08:57 |
| AnRkey | StyleSheep, one sec | 08:57 |
| mick02 | dec3164, Where are you trying to access you home PC from? Are you in work? If so maybe the firewall that you're behind now doesn't allow traffic through port 22 | 08:57 |
| StyleSheep | AnRkey, okay | 08:57 |
| Bert_2 | Hi, I'd like to lower down the maximum volume of my ubuntu system or lock the volume in some way, is that possible ? | 08:57 |
| glitsj16 | the_gamer: isn't that part of realplayer ? if so, websearch for medibuntu and how to enable that repository and install that | 08:57 |
| rww | foo: You could also try adding `Busid "PCI:5:0:0"' to your xorg.conf's Device section. | 08:57 |

| Ethosser | anyone see any issues with that, or has tried it before? | 08:58 |
| rww | foo: and, if none of that helps, the people in #ati channel on this server might :) | 08:58 |
| the_gamer | glitsj16, i just googled and found that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3490653 there's someone with the same problem, but he doesn't ahve a solution, either | 08:58 |

| Felicia | hi | 09:00 |
| Iradieh__ | if it doesnt work out I will reisntall with xfce4 again | 09:00 |
| mick02 | dec3164, Can you go to www.ping.eu and check to see if your current firewall is blocking traffic through port 22. You'll need to find your WAN IP address first, you can do this through something like www.ipchicken.com | 09:00 |
| camjay | sigh | 09:00 |
| Felicia | hi | 09:00 |
| AnRkey | Milkeh, You can wipe your entire profile's settings if you want (backup first and make sure to unhide files when u do) > try ctrl+alt+f2 > sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop > rm ~/.* -Rf > sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 09:00 |
| AnRkey | Milkeh, if you are sure that it worked in a new profile that is | 09:00 |
| Milkeh | AnRkey, It's alright, I'll just use gedit for my assignment, I'll just work this out another day | 09:01 |

| Milkeh | AnRkey, thanks for all your support | 09:01 |
| AnRkey | Milkeh, somehow your profile got it's openoffice settings borked it seems. You can search for config file locations just for OOo on google too if you like | 09:01 |
| glitsj16 | the_gamer: don't have other clues on this one, hope someone chimes in | 09:01 |

| camjay | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows | 09:05 |
| camjay | that one^ | 09:06 |
| camjay | and i used the suggested program | 09:06 |

| akhil_ | My package manager is not able to download files for ubuntu.com although i am connected. How to set it back to default settings? | 09:06 |
| camjay | so i can install ubuntu w/o removable media | 09:06 |
| dec3164 | mick02, i suspect that it has something to do with the router's mac address... when i plugged it in, the campus network recognized it as windows, so perhaps it doesn't want to support port 22? or does that even make sense? | 09:07 |
| rww | camjay: Okay, I see. Have you considered using Wubi instead? It tends to be easier to set up than unetbootin | 09:07 |
| camjay | rww: well, i tried wubi, had problems with it aswell, and also i generally just dont like the fact that it uses its own filesystem | 09:08 |
| camjay | like | 09:08 |
| camjay | i want to use unetbootin so i can use a seperate partition | 09:08 |
| camjay | clean n clear | 09:08 |
| camjay | you know? | 09:08 |
| mick02 | dec3164, Here goes nothing ... YOU ---> CAMPUS FIREWALL ---> ROUTER ---> SSH SERVER. First of all your CAMPUS FIREWALL has to have port 22 open to allow traffic to pass to your ROUTER. If your CAMPUS FIREWALL doesn't allow traffic on port 22 then the traffic will not even make it to your ROUTER hence no ssh request will be sent or received by your ROUTER. Does this make sense? Sorry about the caps I thought it might make it a bit easier to read! | 09:08 |
| camjay | wubi = hindered disk access performance | 09:08 |
| camjay | i want the perfect linux experience | 09:08 |
| camjay | hehe | 09:08 |
| rww | camjay: Yeah, I see what you mean. Hmm. If you have a USB drive you're not using, and your BIOS supports USB boot, unetbootin to USB tends to work very well. | 09:09 |

| mick02 | dec3164, Sorry, I miss understood your problem. So is the router the only thing that's changed then? The Router isn't set up to allow MAC Address access only is it? Some routers will only allow connections from certain mac addresses | 09:12 |

| bona-admin | thanks glitsj16 | 09:50 |
| camjay | Okay. Sorry about that. just a habit. | 09:50 |
| ikonia | camjay: you will have to look at a re-sizing tool if the ubuntu partitioner does not have space to resize it for you | 09:51 |
| Dr_willis | camjay, use gparted to resize an existing parition. th | 09:51 |
| ikonia | camjay: the partition tool maybe able to resize it if there is some unallocated space | 09:51 |
| Dr_willis | camjay, if resizing a NTFS - i find the vista resize tools to be MUCH MUCH faster. | 09:51 |

| ikonia | camjay: you don't dual boot a livecd | 09:52 |
| Dr_willis | camjay, no idea. I rarely mexx with XP any more. not sure it even has the tool. ask in #windows | 09:52 |
| ikonia | camjay: a livecd boots from it's self | 09:52 |
| camjay | well, its not a live "CD", its a live ISO | 09:53 |
| camjay | i guess i should have said that.. | 09:53 |
| ikonia | camjay: where is the ISO stored ? | 09:53 |
| camjay | on my windows NTFS partition | 09:53 |
| camjay | I used unetbootin with Grub-loader | 09:53 |
| ikonia | camjay: thats why it can't resize it - that partition is in use | 09:53 |
| camjay | Alright, well i have no form of removable media | 09:55 |
| ikonia | camjay: you'll have to delete the windows partition then | 09:55 |
| ikonia | camjay: and / or buy some removable media | 09:55 |
| camjay | well i know theres programs such as partitionmagic | 09:56 |
| Dr_willis | ive seen 2gb thumbdrives for $5 on sale recently :) just the right size. | 09:56 |

| SingAlong | I want to reset the mount points of my partitions. something screwed up and my partitions dont mount | 09:58 |
| SingAlong | so is there any temporary mount file? | 09:59 |
| camjay | So if i am able to create new partitions, which filesystem will i want? | 09:59 |
| Dr_willis | SingAlong, not in the way you are talking about.. If you want to mount them someplace else.. you can manually mnount them whever you want. | 09:59 |
| camjay | Will i want 3 partitions? One for linux swap and one for ext2? | 09:59 |
| camjay | (the other being windows ntfs) | 09:59 |
| Dr_willis | camjay, how i normally do it (windows)(Linux)(swap) | 09:59 |
| camjay | How big does swap need to be? | 10:00 |
| SingAlong | Dr_willis: no I actually set the mount points by rightclicking and now I get an error "illegal characters in mount point" | 10:00 |
| SingAlong | Dr_willis: so none of my partitions mount | 10:00 |
| Dr_willis | SingAlong, ive never heard of anyone ever getting that right click stuff to 'work' :) those settings as far as i know are not in the fstab. they are a per user setting.. so are in your gnome settings somewhere. | 10:00 |
| akventure | what is the proper way to use the +x command to help mask an ip on irc? | 10:01 |
| SingAlong | Dr_willis: how do I find that out? | 10:01 |
| Dr_willis | SingAlong, most likely a space in the mountpoint - from what i am imagining. | 10:01 |
| Dr_willis | SingAlong, make a new user - see if they mount for him. would be a good test. | 10:01 |
| SingAlong | Dr_willis: the character it said was GD_DIR_SEPARATOR | 10:01 |
| SingAlong | Dr_willis: but anyway where can I reset those settings? | 10:02 |
| camjay | Hmm. I might have to use a floppy drive and use partition logic, argh | 10:02 |
| camjay | i wish there was a way i could partition the drive while im using it | 10:02 |
| camjay | the trouble is that i dont have a floppy drive, i'd have to go steal it from the other computer | 10:03 |
| camjay | after i copied the partition program on it from the other pc. Hmm. sigh. brb | 10:03 |
| Dr_willis | SingAlong, hard core way would be to reset all the gnome settings by removing the .gnome* and .gconf* directories.. which is why i said to test with a new user first.. befor going that hardcore | 10:03 |
| dec3164 | camjay, just use a live ubuntu disc with gparted | 10:03 |
| SingAlong | Dr_willis: oh ok | 10:04 |
| camjay | I would bro but i cant burn CD's | 10:04 |
| camjay | i have two cd burners, one fails to work anymore, the other: when i tried to burn the image to a CD-R it told me i had a bunk removable media, saying that the blank CD-R disk speeds didnt match up with the CD writers speeds | 10:05 |
| camjay | so i assume the media was incompatible with my other cd burner | 10:05 |
| dec3164 | camjay, is your bios new enough to be able to boot from a flash drive? | 10:05 |
| camjay | doubtful | 10:05 |
| camjay | 4 yrs old | 10:05 |
| camjay | although i do have a flash drive | 10:05 |
| camjay | 512MB, but thatd enough to hold a partition boot program | 10:05 |
| camjay | Ah, ur a genius, hold on. | 10:06 |
| cooldduuudde | camjay, to test that you can check the boot menu wen the pen drive is inserted. if you see the drive in the menu, your bios supports it. | 10:06 |
| dec3164 | camjay, if you can't set your bios to boot from US, it's a moot point... | 10:06 |
| dec3164 | *USB | 10:07 |
| illumin8 | could he resize the drive from inside wubi? | 10:07 |
| SingAlong | Dr_willis: nope doesnt work | 10:07 |
| SingAlong | Dr_willis: so is it dangerous to reset my gnome settings? | 10:07 |
| camjay | ok guys, i got the USB drive | 10:08 |
| camjay | its 512MB | 10:08 |
| camjay | plugging it in now | 10:08 |

| ikonia | camjay: check your bios first | 10:09 |

| ActionParsnip1 | jado: try pinging first and use the ip | 10:31 |
| ikonia | NativeAngels: you need to look in the logs in /var/log to find out why it's not starting | 10:31 |
| dquestions | ikonia: i did that then did .. update && install | 10:31 |
| ikonia | NativeAngels: or use the safe_mysqld to see what it says | 10:31 |
| dquestions | no luck | 10:31 |
| ikonia | dquestions: I didn't tell you to do that | 10:31 |
| dquestions | okaay | 10:32 |
| dquestions | so what do i do then ikonia | 10:32 |
| jado | ActionParsnip1: ping blah.com does not work but ssh user@blah.com works | 10:32 |

| ikonia | dquestions: and is the date stamp correct ? | 10:33 |
| ikonia | jado: it's svn+ssh | 10:33 |

| jado | ActionParsnip1: i got a "Non-authoritative answer" that gave me the ip | 10:34 |

| NativeAngels | oCean_ i did that | 11:01 |
| Dr_willis | larswey, depends on the terminal program. theres a enviroment variable PROXY (i think) that many support. | 11:01 |
| NativeAngels | will it work now ? | 11:01 |
| saadi559596 | anyone know some close to the real yahoo messenger thru which i can see others cam? | 11:01 |
| riaal | ActionParsnip1: "Install a supported viritual... release" | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | riaal: you could look in backports for olde java | 11:01 |
| larswey | okey Dr_willis, Do you know where I can find it? | 11:02 |
| oCean_ | NativeAngels: I only saw the paste you did, I don't know what the actual problem is. Starting mysqld from commandline will conflict with already-running mysql | 11:02 |
| riaal | ActionParsnip1: where is that? | 11:02 |
| Dr_willis | larswey, google? :) check the docs for the app you are interested in? check its man pages? | 11:02 |
| hay_ig2000 | hi all, is there a program to draw on desktop before taking a screen shot? as firegestures addon in firefox | 11:02 |

| oCean_ | NativeAngels: if logging is not enabled (in my.cnf file) there probably is no logging. First: the mysqld is -at this moment- *not* running? And in /var/run/mysqld is there a file called mysqld.sock? | 11:06 |
| Ian__ | does intel support server 1.6 yet? | 11:06 |

| shadeslayer | also the keypad on my laptop keyboard wont wok | 11:17 |

| NET||abuse | gmathews, oh,,, on an interpid with the same architecture as the target machine, do apt-get install --download-only xchat, then you should have the xchat deb in your apt cache | 11:21 |

| Master_J | that config.log | 12:11 |
| rww | Master_J: your logfile still says "C compiler cannot create executables", which is a good indication that you didn't install the build-essential package. | 12:12 |

| oCean_ | NativeAngels: ok. It seems to me that you've tried to start the mysqld_safe twice. First without using SUDO, hence the errors like "does not have acess rights" etc, etc . | 12:15 |
| rww | dinesh372: oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, since you have specific patches you need to apply, you can't use the repository version. Yeah, you should be fine using the version on bochs' website. | 12:15 |

| oCean_ | NativeAngels: a bit after that, you started as root, but then it complains on not being able to connect to localhost port 3306. Even when you say nothing is running on 3306. So we may try starting mysql using another port. Just for test/debug purposes | 12:16 |
| SkyNetMaster | rww thanx, I just so exaited to use it :) so I want it on my laptop | 12:16 |
| oCean_ | NativeAngels: that'll be something like "mysqld_safe --port=3308" (for example) | 12:16 |

| ubottu | git_: 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. | 12:29 |
| rww | dinesh372: Follow the instructions in the pages you linked to me. Patching and compilation of software according to instructions provided by someone else is outside of the bounds of on-topicness for this channel. | 12:29 |
| arvind_khadri | !hi | jully | 12:29 |
| ubottu | jully: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 12:29 |
| rww | dinesh372: I'd imagine so, yes. | 12:29 |
| Curtman | steveccc, Alsa works just fine for me, and I can't for the life of me figure out what benefit pulseaudio is supposed to give me. | 12:29 |
| Stargaze | hi | 12:29 |
| jully | i m having a dell system with ubuntu | 12:29 |
| jonaskoelker | rww: thanks | 12:29 |
| NativeAngels | oCean_ do i have to change the ip as the ip changed when the power went | 12:29 |
| Metatron | I'm using ubuntu 8.10. The Network Manager included (0.7) connected once using my wifi adapater, but refuses too anymore. Using wifi radar I can get a conneciton but after an hour or so drops and wont reconnect. I've had better luck with wicd, but it too drops and wont reconnect after a while. Ideas? | 12:30 |
| Stargaze | dudes and dudettes | 12:30 |
| jully | i wanna install wireless on that | 12:30 |
| Stargaze | question | 12:30 |
| arvind_khadri | !ask | Stargaze | 12:30 |
| ubottu | Stargaze: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 12:30 |
| arvind_khadri | !ask | jully | 12:30 |
| ubottu | jully: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 12:30 |
| Boohbah | Curtman: it does software mixing of multiple sound streams if you don't have hardware mixing support | 12:30 |
| Metatron | Note: when wicd or nm drops, i can reboot into windows xp and the usb net adaptor is still dead until i unplug and replug it | 12:30 |
| Stargaze | my girlfriend username disappeared from the gdm login list | 12:30 |
| Curtman | steveccc, Maybe they think it would be better if my subwoofer didn't work. Maybe its one of my neighbours that keeps installing it. | 12:30 |
| dinesh372 | rww: ok at least send me a good link for this because i am new to linux | 12:30 |
| Stargaze | her directory still exists | 12:30 |
| Curtman | Boohbah, But I do have hardware mixing support. | 12:31 |
| steveccc | curtman: isnt there a way to block that as an update? Just hope more stuff doesnt follow which has it as a dependancy :( | 12:31 |
| rww | dinesh372: Again, if you're following someone else's instructions, you'll need to talk to them about it, not me. | 12:31 |
| Curtman | steveccc, That's what I'm trying to find out. | 12:31 |
| jully | i m having a dell system with ubuntu i wanna install wireless on that wireless divce is invild in that | 12:31 |
| jully | so what should i do | 12:31 |
| arvind_khadri | !wifi | jully | 12:31 |
| ubottu | jully: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 12:31 |
| rww | Stargaze: Try the following at the command-line and tell me if you get any output or not: grep herusername /etc/passwd | 12:32 |
| dinesh372 | rww: ok thanks | 12:32 |
| NativeAngels | oCean_ is there a config file or something that you set the ip for mysql | 12:32 |
| jully | ok i know but how to install driverfor that | 12:32 |
| arvind_khadri | jully, whats the device name?? | 12:32 |
| Stargaze | grep: /etc/password: No such file or directory | 12:33 |
| steveccc | curtman: you on 8.04 or 8.10 | 12:33 |
| rww | Stargaze: passwd, not password | 12:33 |
| Stargaze | empty | 12:33 |
| jully | i don't this inwiled in dell leptop | 12:33 |
| rww | Stargaze: You didn't get any output? That means that your girlfriend's user account got removed somehow. | 12:33 |
| jully | wifi | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Stargaze: cat /etc/passwd | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rww: forsome reason nano wont display the file | 12:34 |
| arvind_khadri | jully, ok open the terminal and type lshw -C | 12:34 |
| rww | ActionParsnip1: What? | 12:34 |
| Stargaze | i see my name but not hers | 12:34 |
| Curtman | steveccc, 8.10 | 12:34 |
| jully | ok | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rww: i had this yesterday, nano showed an empty file for /etc/passwd yet cat showed it, system was fine so I ignored it | 12:35 |
| steveccc | curtman: oh ok - i have the issue on 8.04 but my laptop is 8.10 with no probs but obviously different hardware so that may be why | 12:35 |
| rww | ActionParsnip1: nano /etc/passwd works fine for me, as does the grep command I listed. Weird. | 12:35 |
| jully | after than | 12:35 |
| arvind_khadri | jully, sorry its lshw -C network | 12:36 |
| petaflot | anyone here knows about openssh packages? | 12:36 |

| Metatron | anyone having issues in 8.10 with the network manager and wifi using wpa | 12:36 |

| yinlong | yes | 12:49 |
| yinlong | thank you | 12:49 |
| StyleSheep | is it possible to configure the sound so that if i pull out the headphones the speakers will stay silent | 12:49 |
| StyleSheep | ? | 12:49 |
| NativeAngels | does anyone else know about sock errors on mysql ? | 12:50 |
| soreau | StyleSheep: Unplug your speakers too? | 12:50 |
| MFen | arvind_khadri: yes, i can see it.. it hasn't helped me a bit so far | 12:50 |
| StyleSheep | soreau, sorry, forgot to mention, its a notebook :) | 12:50 |
| arvind_khadri | MFen, what exactly do you want to achieve? | 12:51 |
| MFen | arvind_khadri: do you want a list? there's about 8 things that worked in hardy and will not work (all at once) in intrepid | 12:51 |
| === moversti is now known as MM2 | ||
| shadeslayer | wth is this | 12:51 |
| soreau | StyleSheep: Maybe see what the audio properties say with 'alsamixer' | 12:51 |

| MFen | arvind_khadri: http://pastebin.com/m40221086 | 12:52 |
| MFen | arvind_khadri: mostly it boils down to being able to right/middle click with keys on the keyboard, and having super key always working | 12:53 |
| StyleSheep | soreau, i've already tried that, but if i only leave "Master", "PCM" and "Front" on, there's still sound on the speakers | 12:53 |
| MFen | arvind_khadri: i was doing the first one with xmodmap and the second one with the alt/win key set to "mapped to super" | 12:53 |
| MFen | neither of those works reliably now | 12:54 |
| StyleSheep | soreau, if i turn off either one of these three, i dont have no sound at all (neither on the headphones nor the speakers) | 12:54 |
| MFen | i just want to scrap keyboard onfig and start over, that's all i need help with | 12:54 |

| MFen | i've done that many times. i've hit the reset button many times | 12:54 |
| arvind_khadri | MFen, ok just a sec ... | 12:54 |

| arvind_khadri | AcidRofl, no... just ls that thing you will get it... but that was 7.10 | 13:01 |
| cam|stoned | How many partitions, and what size? | 13:01 |
| arvind_khadri | telly, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessNetworking?highlight=(AND)|(ManufacturerModel) | 13:02 |
| cam|stoned | Oh and also which filesystem | 13:02 |
| jrib | cam|stoned: you can do that through the installer | 13:02 |
| cam|stoned | jrib: i have 12GB of unallocated disk space but | 13:02 |
| cam|stoned | the installer doesnt seem to recognize it | 13:02 |
| cam|stoned | so it wont allow me to create new partitions on it | 13:02 |
| jrib | cam|stoned: did you read the release notes? | 13:02 |
| soreau | telly: Which card do you have? | 13:02 |
| AcidRofl | arvind_khadri, there are four files in resolvconf.d, 2 of them empty. Another one with nameservers and one saying something like DO NOT EDIT etc. | 13:02 |

| carpii | how do i 'safely remove' a usb stick? normally there is an icon on the desktop but this time it hasnt appeared | 13:04 |
| cam|stoned | jrib: what is it to "unmount" a partition? | 13:04 |
| soreau | carpii: umount it | 13:04 |
| carpii | thats all 'safely remove' does? | 13:05 |
| cam|stoned | all i have is a 80GB HDD, 1 partition = NTFS windows xp, 63GB | 13:05 |
| jrib | cam|stoned: umount /mount/point | 13:05 |
| soreau | More or less | 13:05 |
| cam|stoned | the rest is all unallocated | 13:05 |
| carpii | cos i unmounted it a while ago and started getting data errors | 13:05 |
| cam|stoned | unformatted space | 13:05 |
| carpii | so had to reformat etc | 13:05 |
| soreau | What errors? | 13:05 |
| carpii | just like corrupt filesystem | 13:05 |
| telly | i m having dell leptop with intel dual core and i wanna ask about wifi driver installion | 13:05 |
| cam|stoned | jrib: ok im making the partitions needed right now | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | carpii: sudo umount /mount/point will safetly remove it | 13:06 |
| telly | arind ;i m having dell leptop with intel dual core and i wanna ask about wifi driver installion | 13:06 |
| carpii | ok, thanks | 13:06 |
| cam|stoned | jrib: how many partitions do i need for linux? and how big should they be? | 13:06 |
| soreau | telly: Which card do you have? | 13:06 |
| shadeslayer | how do i reset my keyboard to as it was on my first install | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | telly: lspci will identify the hardware, you can websearch from that | 13:06 |
| cam|stoned | i know one has to be like a "swap" partition | 13:06 |
| cam|stoned | or whatever? | 13:06 |
| jrib | cam|stoned: you only *need* two (/ and swap). I'd recommend a separate /home as well though | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cam|stoned: its preffered but is optional | 13:07 |
| jrib | yeah, you could get by with a swap file on / instead of a partition too I guess | 13:07 |
| cam|stoned | so for my swap partition, how large should i make it | 13:07 |
| jrib | cam|stoned: how much ram do you have? | 13:07 |
| cam|stoned | and what filesystem, linux swap? (i assume?) | 13:07 |
| cam|stoned | 1GB ram | 13:07 |
| jrib | cam|stoned: 1gb should be fine | 13:07 |
| cam|stoned | i want the fastest possible experience | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cam|stoned: usually its RAM x 2, yu need to set it to be swap, swap doesnt have a file system | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | per se | 13:08 |
| cam|stoned | ok | 13:08 |
| zicho | is there a script/application to split a flac-file into several files using cue-sheet? | 13:08 |
| cam|stoned | so make a 2GB swap partition? | 13:08 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip1: can i bother you?? | 13:09 |

| oCean_ | ikonia: right. | 13:51 |

| lenswipe | i cant get VLC to run can someone help me? | 13:53 |
| ikonia | camjay: yes a.) use external media b.) check to see if your disk controller is supported by ubuntu | 13:53 |
| soreau | din_os: Did you run gconf-editor as root with sudo at any point? If you did, you shouldn't have | 13:53 |
| din_os | soreau: yes I have | 13:54 |
| oCean_ | NativeAngels: what do you get when "ping localhost" | 13:54 |
| vigge | "/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/bluetooth': Permission denied" even when I run it as sudo, why? | 13:54 |
| vigge | the tutorial says I should change my status to root | 13:54 |
| din_os | soreau: i have set these keys as mandatory too earlier | 13:54 |
| camjay | ikonia: one sec | 13:54 |
| camjay | ikonia: in the 8.10 release notes it says "Hard disks potentially not shown when installing in Live CD mode" | 13:54 |
| din_os | soreau: but now i cannot edit them, i can unset them but when i restart gconf-editor they are back to the old ones | 13:54 |
| soreau | din_os: Alright, you need to change the permissions back. As Your User run 'sudo chown $LOGNAME -R ~/.gconf' | 13:55 |
| camjay | "To use a mounted disk for installation, first unmount the drive before attempting to install." | 13:55 |
| NativeAngels | http://paste.ubuntu.com/122829/ | 13:55 |
| camjay | how do i unmount it? | 13:55 |
| NativeAngels | to oCean_ | 13:55 |
| soreau | camjay: umount /path/to/mount/point | 13:55 |
| oCean_ | NativeAngels: yes, ok. So it resolves to 127.0.0.1. Changing bind_address in my.cnf to local ip.. that'll make the server start right? The mysql server | 13:56 |
| camjay | soreau: how can i find out the path to the mount point? | 13:56 |
| oCean_ | NativeAngels: wait | 13:56 |
| NativeAngels | when i changed the bind ip to 192.168.0.3 which is the local ip for the linux box on mynetwork | 13:57 |
| oCean_ | NativeAngels: your paste... you did not get any ping reply | 13:57 |
| lenswipe | can someone help me with getting VLC working? | 13:57 |
| NativeAngels | no | 13:57 |
| oCean_ | NativeAngels: *that* is your problem. Your system does not know what localhost is | 13:57 |
| NativeAngels | ok | 13:57 |
| oCean_ | NativeAngels: if we fix that, mysql can bind to localhost:3306 :) | 13:57 |
| oCean_ | NativeAngels: edit /etc/hosts file | 13:58 |
| M1DLG | is there as special process to follow when upgrading hardware? I have just brought a new video card (AGP ATI HD3850) to do away with the onboard VIA gfx chip | 13:58 |
| oCean_ | NativeAngels: no wait. That's not what I wanted to say... try "ping 127.0.1.1" | 13:58 |
| oCean_ | NativeAngels: mind the 1.1 at the end, not 0.1 | 13:59 |
| din_os | soreau: no deal, ic what you want to achieve but it doesn't work i think i have the same problem as this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=709460 | 13:59 |

| JuJuBee | I have an HP officejet 6110 connected to my server (usb). How do I use it from my laptop? ipp:// or socket:// ? | 14:00 |
| soreau | camjay: Just run 'mount' | 14:00 |
| camjay | soreau: ok, how would one go about doing that | 14:00 |
| camjay | All i need is for the live ubuntu installer to recognize my HDD/partitions | 14:01 |
| soreau | camjay: 1) Open a terminal 2) Type mount 3) Press Enter | 14:01 |
| camjay | ok | 14:01 |
| camjay | i did that | 14:01 |
| NativeAngels | oCean_ i got exactly the same as before but with the ip you showd above | 14:01 |

| din_os | soreau: ok i'll mess around a bit, thx | 14:01 |
| oCean_ | NativeAngels: ok. Something is wrong with your loopback interface. Type "ifconfig -a" and look for "lo" interface | 14:02 |

| soreau | M1DLG: Then you definitely need to use the proprietary driver, but you should try first to install it via jockey (Sys>Admin>Hardware Drivers) | 14:08 |
| giaco | hello | 14:08 |
| M1DLG | Thanks guys - i'll swap the card over in the other machine now and see how i get on. | 14:09 |
| giaco | I've launched a cp of a single file of 450gb from one disk to another, I don't have any physical access to the drive so I can't check if it's physically working or not and cp doesn't return any feedback on the process ... what' can I do? | 14:09 |
| norbert79 | good day | 14:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | giaco If you have already started the process.. just wait | 14:10 |
| renan_saddam | Morning... are there moments when root can not change ownership of files? | 14:10 |
| quibbler | giaco: | 14:11 |
| soreau | giaco: Either wait or if you cancel the process you can try 'cp --verbose /source /dest' | 14:11 |
| renan_saddam | cause I do "sudo chown -R www-data:www-data projetos" and get chown: changing ownership of `projetos/file.txt'': Operation not permitted permitted | 14:11 |
| sipior | giaco: ls -l will show you the file size of the file on the other disk. try "watch ls -l <filename>" | 14:11 |
| giaco | Jack_Sparrow, isn't there any proc file where I can read the disk utilization? | 14:11 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: Maybe, like with SE_Linux, or when the file is locked. I guess | 14:11 |
| giaco | sipior, good idea, let me try | 14:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | giaco Nothing that I can think of that would give you real info | 14:11 |
| renan_saddam | norbert79: the files returns owner root, group plugdev | 14:12 |
| sipior | renan_saddam: yes, if the file or parent directory has been set as immutable | 14:12 |
| === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| sipior | renan_saddam: or if it has been mounted via nfs with root_squash in effect | 14:12 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: Those are not real files... You are probably referring to the /dev filesystem | 14:12 |
| biv6 | test | 14:12 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: right? | 14:12 |
| norbert79 | biv6: works | 14:12 |

| Computech | Hello everyone, i got an unfixable problem i need help with: at a customer of us the openoffice headtoolbar (above file/edit etc) dissapeared and openoffice looks like it is full screen (it goes over the lower bar and the higher bar with applications, system etc): 2 screenshots: http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7700/schermafdruk1.png and http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/5209/schermafdruk2.png we have already tryed a lot but couldn | 14:13 |
| Computech | t fix it (we use vnc to help him but this is not the cause of the problem because it was already before we used vnc) | 14:13 |
| dusty | Hey guys, I have a strange problem with my DVD Drive un Ubuntu 8.10 (I dual boot with windows, in windows it plays dvd's etc). In Ubuntu, it does not automatically mount the DVD, when I issue a mount /cdrom I get: mount: No medium found I have no idea why it's suddenbly stopped playing DVD's it used to ? | 14:13 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: I see | 14:13 |
| soreau | Computech: Which window manager is the system using? | 14:13 |
| renan_saddam | sipior: the parent directory are the same owner/group, and its win32 | 14:13 |
| Computech | i tried compiz and gnome | 14:13 |
| Computech | but compiz now | 14:13 |
| Computech | (compiz --replace) | 14:14 |
| Computech | i also tryed the workarounds build in in compiz but that didnt work around :) | 14:14 |
| soreau | Computech: Try disabling Legacy Fullscreen Support in ccsm>Workarounds | 14:14 |
| Computech | tryed | 14:14 |
| norbert79 | Computech: Call me a grammar nazi, but it is written "tried" and not tryed" :) | 14:14 |
| soreau | Then try F11 on the OO window? | 14:14 |
| Computech | tryed | 14:14 |
| renan_saddam | norbert79, sipior: the parent directory is a fat32 partition | 14:14 |
| Computech | il try that what soreau said again | 14:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Computech Please behave and keep responses to one line | 14:15 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: Normally the plugdev group is the group which has the authority on plugging in and out devices | 14:15 |
| Computech | but there were 2 things i needed to response to, so how can i put that on 1 line | 14:15 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: And in default every device is mounted with root/plugdev. Your normal user should belong to the group of plugdev for 'normal' use :) | 14:16 |
| giaco | sipior, I didn't know about the watch utility, it's pretty cool! | 14:16 |
| biv6 | 14:16 | |
| giaco | it works :-) | 14:16 |
| sipior | renan_saddam: do yourself a favour and use a proper filesystem :-) i've given up dealing with the retarded nature of ntfs, vfat, &cet, especially regarding permission issues. | 14:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Computech You know what I mean.. Pleas hold down the number of random one word entries | 14:17 |
| soreau | Computech: FWIW, I don't see anything wrong in those screenshots other than having the Reflection plugin enabled makes the nonfocused title bar ugly IMHO | 14:17 |
| sipior | giaco: yeah, watch is pretty handy | 14:17 |
| norbert79 | sipior: Please be a bit more kind. | 14:17 |
| sipior | norbert79: that's as kind as i can manage, friend | 14:17 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: And in default every device is mounted with root/plugdev. Your normal user should belong to the group of plugdev for 'normal' use :) Don't care about the authority, if you will copy those files to the home directory, it will be changed | 14:17 |
| renan_saddam | sipior: yes, I know. but I'm sharing this partition with Samba. | 14:17 |
| Computech | soreau, the bar with the name of the screen is gone and the bar down of the screen is gone (look in the vnc window and not in the system the picture was made on) | 14:18 |
| norbert79 | sipior: I am sorry, but I am not your friend. You are way away from it | 14:18 |
| carpii | ppl still need to use vfat for somethings, even if it is retarded | 14:18 |

| norbert79 | renan_saddam: So what exactly are you trying to accomplish? | 14:19 |
| renan_saddam | norbert79: is there other way to set properly? | 14:19 |

| Nevisbuntu | hi. I have trouble with my nvidia geforce 6600. I get "NVRM: not using NVAGP, an AGPGART backend is loaded!" in dmesg, although agpgart is included in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. what should I do? | 14:24 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: Lets get some parts clear. Regarding authority and access limitation: Samba has ceratin levels of control for file access. First of all, it's a plain Fat32 fs. You don't have muich to deal with it there. You can also limit the access through the directory, to which this Samba FS is mounted to. You should also check Samba config for the limitation of that particulkar directory. | 14:24 |
| sipior | tokico_: have you got autoconf, automake and friends installed? | 14:24 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: UN*X and Linux has different levels of controlling authorisation | 14:25 |
| tokico_ | sipior hmm... don't know. gonna search aptitude right now | 14:25 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: Make sure, that the directory, where the FAT FS is mounted to has right authorisation, and the SAMBA is configured well too | 14:25 |
| tokico_ | sipior but I can run make and configure, except on make it gives tons of errors and I can't nor checkinstall nor make install | 14:26 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: I would really advise you on reading the samba documentation or checking for examples in /usr/share/doc/samba | 14:26 |
| sipior | tokico_: could you pastebin some of these errors, so we can se what you're talking about? | 14:26 |
| tokico_ | ok. | 14:26 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: and also the same goes for Apache... Apache can be also limited as well, sounds pretty complicated, tough it's needed at today's standard | 14:27 |

| ubottu | chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) | 14:30 |
| norbert79 | Jack_Sparrow: hang on, chroot might not solve everything... | 14:30 |
| renan_saddam | norbert79: I think I found the problem. To fastly access the /shared/projetos in browser I just created a symbolic link from /var/www/projetos to /shared/projetos. And now I'm getting "Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible", to I think there is a problem with Apache Configuration. | 14:30 |

| Jack_Sparrow | norbert79 based on that error, he is trying to use 32 bit on his 64 bit os | 14:32 |

| webterror | ok i found it | 14:35 |
| cole | sipior: ok | 14:35 |
| SkyNetMaster | norbert79 : it seems waiste of laptop to use 32 bits sytem on 64 , just becouse one compiler wonts it | 14:35 |
| norbert79 | SkyNetMaster: Well, did you check the repositories if this application might be availble after all? | 14:36 |
| webterror | ok i found it "Hide all windows and focus desktop" | 14:36 |
| norbert79 | SkyNetMaster: Still, if you stick to the 64 bit system (you could still emulate the 32 bit) use chroot | 14:37 |
| SkyNetMaster | it not in repositories, it is compiler suplied by KPIT Cummins Infosystems | 14:37 |
| renan_saddam | norbert79: Do you think I should format the partition with ext3 ? | 14:37 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: Not necessary | 14:37 |
| webterror | but, it was set already. | 14:37 |
| SkyNetMaster | norbert79 : Im trying to set it upp now | 14:37 |
| renan_saddam | norbert79: to avoid this authorisations issues | 14:37 |
| norbert79 | SkyNetMaster: Good luck :) | 14:37 |
| norbert79 | renan_saddam: I would suggesting on understanding how authorisation works inside Linux/UNIX and in all the services so you can understand things more clear | 14:37 |

| renan_saddam | norbert79: hmm, going to do that. Cause Apache seems well configured. The problem is the partition | 14:38 |

| tokico_ | thomasfeisty: you should update to hardy or intrepid, not gutsy | 14:39 |
| tokico_ | gutsy is old and not so reliable | 14:39 |
| chengchang_ | Yes I buy a first hand one | 14:39 |
| norbert79 | tokico_: Disagree, still owning it ;-) | 14:39 |
| thomasfeisty | tokico , yes thats what i want to do, from feisty to gutsy -> hardy -> intrepid | 14:39 |
| norbert79 | chengchang_: Did you try Dell's official support already? | 14:40 |
| thomasfeisty | if theres a way to go to intrepid directly i would be happy | 14:40 |
| norbert79 | thomasfeisty: full Reinstall only | 14:40 |
| ikonia | thomasfeisty: no - you need to go through the ugprades | 14:40 |
| norbert79 | thomasfeisty: Or through the upgrades | 14:40 |
| ikonia | thomasfeisty: with that in mind it may be better to do a backup - and install 8.10 directly as a new system | 14:40 |
| tokico_ | norbert79: yes, but agree that intrepid is better, right ;) | 14:40 |
| norbert79 | tokico_: Naaaah, jsut to disagree ;-) But thats offtopic right now :D | 14:41 |
| sipior | tokico_: interesting. where'd you find these sources? your compiler seems to be fine, at any rate. | 14:41 |
| thomasfeisty | ikonia , thats impossible, the only ressources i have are an internet connection and a feisty cd, no possibility to burn an intrepid iso :( | 14:41 |
| norbert79 | thomasfeisty: You have to go through the updates then... Do you have a pendrive? | 14:41 |
| ikonia | thomasfeisty: why can't you burn the ISO ? | 14:41 |
| SkyNetMaster | norbert79 : should I when run schroot aliens **** to unpack rmp? | 14:42 |

| tokico_ | sipior: at the official website: http://victornils.net/tetris/ | 14:42 |

| cole | sipior: i think thats sent | 14:42 |
| thomasfeisty | norbert79: ikonia , the dist upgrade fails cause the upgrade manager needs to get something from the ubuntu archive, BUT they are non-existant for feisty... | 14:42 |
| renan_saddam | norbert79: btw, dealing with ext3 partition is best than dealing with fat32, right? | 14:42 |

| thomasfeisty | thx anyway | 14:49 |
| nectar | Nasra if you just installed it if you dont have anything to lost you can try to reinstall it but i tdont think that will solve the problem. You might try to update you bios | 14:49 |

The 2 laptops in my house (with Windows), get 3 times the signal, my laptop with Ubuntu gets (even in the same exact place). I recently changed my Laptop from a Toshiba M70 to a Toshiba L300.. could it be from ubuntu? i really don't believe it's the laptop... if yes.. any idea if it's the antenna or wireless card ? | 14:52 |
| nectar | no iam pushing the power button to shut it down. | 14:53 |
| sipior | cole: actually, kppp is just the interface to the pppd daemon, yes? so just "/etc/init.d/pppd shutdown" should work. | 14:53 |
| tokico_ | sipior: yes | 14:53 |
| nectar | it is comming until the last splash screen but it is not cutting power off. so iam cutting power manually | 14:53 |

| Nasra | nectar: so anyway if you see or find out let me know I am alwasy here to reading/learning about Ubuntu.>>>thanks alot | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | Bashiii: i find the fact that i can copy and paste like that to be a very valuable feature (that i miss in windows) | 15:00 |
| norbert79 | Klaz168: just open up /etc/fstab and modify it manually. I guess :) | 15:00 |
| SkyNetMaster | norbert79 : on apt-get I only get 64 bits version, should I build a 32 version? | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | Klaz168: edit it with a text editor | 15:00 |
| OxideZA | anyone help me? | 15:00 |
| Bashiii | erUSUL: I can do it with middlemouse | 15:00 |

| Klaz168 | yeah, but i need to modify the new swap UUID, how to get that. | 15:01 |
| Bashiii | But as I kill some time playing random games, sometimes I need to be able to press mouse1 and mouse2 buttons at the same time | 15:01 |

| norbert79 | Bashiii: No... What exactly are you trying to accomplish? | 15:03 |
| Bashiii | I added a few lines to xorg.conf | 15:03 |
| Bashiii | And would like the changes to take place | 15:03 |
| erUSUL | Bashiii: just restart the xserver sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 15:03 |

| Silicium | i know oO | 15:08 |
| MoLoot | Thanks everyone... I am looking for some wysiwyg... :) | 15:08 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:14 |

| Dan | HELLO | 15:14 |
| SkyNetMaster | norbert79: , thanx! but problems still continue :S | 15:15 |
| norbert79 | jungar: I guess by reading the documentation :))) | 15:15 |
| Dan | I found the fix to the no audio on Ubuntu!!!!! | 15:15 |
| norbert79 | Dan: Good for you! | 15:15 |
| norbert79 | SkyNetMaster: I see... Whats the error? | 15:15 |
| jungar | norbert79, what documentation ?? i didnt find anything that works with a 64bit architecture :( | 15:15 |
| norbert79 | jungar: sopcast's documeantion I guess :) | 15:16 |
| SkyNetMaster | norbert79 : firs there is no bin32 directory so I not sure I have to alien's | 15:16 |
| norbert79 | SkyNetMaster: You can easly query dpkg or aptitude on displaing where the 32 bit binaries get installed | 15:16 |
| Dan | Don't do /list on freenode | 15:16 |
| norbert79 | SkyNetMaster: thats... hang on | 15:16 |
| Dan | You get spammed | 15:16 |
| jungar | norbert79, http://www.sopcast.org/download/ theres nothing here for 64bit linux .... or at least i cannot find anything | 15:16 |
| norbert79 | Dan: Thank you for today's moral advise, we won't. | 15:16 |
| norbert79 | jungar: Did you try using apt-cache search sopcast? :) | 15:17 |
| jungar | norbert79, i dont know what that is... but i'll try it | 15:17 |
| norbert79 | SkyNetMaster: dpkg -L <package> | 15:17 |

| ubottu | Package/file sopcast does not exist in intrepid | 15:19 |
| SkyNetMaster | norbert79 : but the package is rpm yet, not deb | 15:19 |
| norbert79 | jungar: Ehm, actually, this is the best method. Using the application manager. If you have chosen on using 64 bit Linux you have to deal with the 32 bit compatibility issues too... | 15:19 |
| norbert79 | SkyNetMaster: I was more referring on finding out where the 32 bit alien was installed too | 15:20 |
| norbert79 | SkyNetMaster: I was more referring on finding out where the 32 bit alien was installed to | 15:20 |
| norbert79 | SkyNetMaster: In case you have managed on getting the 32 bit version installed. | 15:20 |

| gordonjcp | danbhfive: they do, no-one seems interested in fixing them | 15:44 |
| norbert79 | None we are aware of mads-. I would suggest on reading documentation on dpkg and apt-get | 15:44 |
| cole | sipior: yes kppp is the name of the app, and it controls pppd, however in /etc/init.d/ there is no kpppd in there | 15:44 |

| norbert79 | DarkKnight: ? | 16:33 |
| Huufarted | _VIM_, just kinda bugs me sometimes when an answer that simple doesn't get googled first. 'install flash plugin in Ubuntu' would have found that answer in about 1 minute. | 16:33 |
| gordonjcp | is that another question that's too difficult for #ubuntu? | 16:33 |
| gordonjcp | seems so | 16:33 |

| glitsj16 | stream13: this is it :) | 16:34 |
| Huufarted | stream13, this is the channel | 16:34 |
| gordonjcp | stream13: there isn't one | 16:34 |

| DarkKnight | Huufarted; i asked norbert79 whether its better not to use dual boot when i wanted to install XP and Fedora along with Ubuntu. I may work with OpenSolaris temporarily. So i thought instead of dual booting its better to use VirtualBox on ubuntu | 16:36 |
| gordonjcp | khaije1: what I don't know is how to deal with the alphabet soup that's in /etc/fstab now | 16:36 |
| === administrator___ is now known as ForzaPalermo | ||
| ForzaPalermo | hey guys i have a question. i just bought two 1.5tb harddrives | 16:37 |
| khaije1 | gordonjcp: if for any reason you rearrange the disks uuid will prevent your system from breaking, sometimes this reordering can happen accidentally or surprisings | 16:37 |
| glitsj16 | gordonjcp: using UUID's isn't that hard, they rarely change anyway ... to find those, run "sudo blkid" | 16:37 |
| shadeslayer | how do i install a compiz theme?? | 16:37 |
| gordonjcp | khaije1: I rearranged the disks, and now it's completely knackered | 16:37 |
| ForzaPalermo | i would like to raid or lvm them... what is better, and then how can i go ahead and do that... i dont want the OS installed on the two hd | 16:37 |
| ForzaPalermo | s | 16:37 |
| gordonjcp | khaije1: none of the disks mount in the right place, I have no swap, and I have no way to figure out how to put it right | 16:38 |
| khaije1 | gordonjcp: in fstab it's best to use uuid then add comments with the sda1-style names above or below them | 16:38 |
| gordonjcp | khaije1: okay, but how? | 16:38 |
| gordonjcp | khaije1: do I just make up a random string of letters or what? | 16:38 |
| Huufarted | darknight, if it's going to be temporarily, VirtualBox might be a great solution for you. | 16:38 |
| stream13 | Ok, people, thaks! More definite question: I need to install audio drivers for laptop ASUS M50VC; lspci in terminal says I've got "Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) | 16:38 |
| stream13 | " ad it has not recognized automaticaly. | 16:38 |
| gordonjcp | khaije1: I don't even *want* UUIDs | 16:38 |
| rai | how can i know the graphic card version? | 16:38 |
| gordonjcp | rai: lspci | 16:38 |
| khaije1 | gordonjcp: do you understand what the benefit of uuid is? | 16:39 |
| === renan_saddam__ is now known as renan_saddam | ||
| gordonjcp | khaije1: no, I don't | 16:39 |
| glitsj16 | gordonjcp: run sudo blkid to find those UUID's | 16:39 |
| Rioting_pacifist | im getting errors running almost any program, gdb keeps mentioning "/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2" how do i fix this? | 16:39 |
| gordonjcp | glitsj16: it only returns /dev/sda1's UUID | 16:39 |
| DarkKnight | Huufarted; i may work with XP for a long time | 16:39 |
| rai | glitsj16:how can i know the graaphic card version?what is the code for that? | 16:39 |
| Huufarted | then I'd recommend a dual boot Ubuntu/XP | 16:39 |
| gordonjcp | rai: lspci | 16:40 |
| glitsj16 | rai: like mentioned earlier --> lspci | grep VGA | 16:40 |
| gordonjcp | rai: type in "lspci" and look for your graphics card | 16:40 |
| Corganis | can anybody help me with some newb questions? | 16:40 |
| vagk | I had 8.04 and updated to 8.10. Things work fine except a lot of minor things. Example: I have in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf the SoundOnLogin, SoundOnLoginSuccess to false, yet I get sound when I login successfully | 16:40 |
| gordonjcp | glitsj16: what happens when I create new partitions, then? | 16:40 |
| glitsj16 | gordonjcp: are your other partitions/drives unmounted perhaps ? | 16:40 |
| gordonjcp | glitsj16: yes, of course they're unmounted | 16:40 |
| gordonjcp | glitsj16: there's no UUID | 16:41 |
| glitsj16 | gordonjcp: new partitions get a new UUID, track those down with sudo blkid and add them to /etc/fstab | 16:41 |
| rai | Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 16:41 |
| shadeslayer | how do i install a compiz theme?? | 16:41 |
| dr_Willis | You can change the uuid if you want :) with the tune2fs command i recall | 16:41 |
| gordonjcp | glitsj16: I just told you, sudo blkid only returns a UUID for /dev/sda1 | 16:41 |
| shadeslayer | how do i install a compiz | 16:41 |
| khaije1 | gordonjcp: uuid = universally uniqe ID, its a way of getting a unique fingerprint for a partition or disk and then using that to locate it rather than a name based on the order it is discovered on the device bus | 16:41 |
| shadeslayer | theme | 16:41 |
| n8tuserf | gordonjcp-> try sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart to reinitiate the udev and sysfs naming of these UUID | 16:42 |
| IdentifyTarget | I'm using the minimal install for 8.04. Will it be pretty easy to install the files necessary for bluetooth mouse/KB? | 16:42 |
| glitsj16 | gordonjcp: i saw that, no need to repeat | 16:42 |
| rai | gordonjcp: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 16:42 |
| gordonjcp | khaije1: I would never ever want to do that under any circumstances | 16:42 |
| gordonjcp | glitsj16: ok, so what generates new UUIDs for new partitions? | 16:42 |
| khaije1 | gordonjcp: it's a hash | 16:43 |
| gordonjcp | khaije1: you can say that again | 16:43 |
| glitsj16 | gordonjcp: did you try producing an /etc/fstab without UUID's ? i believe that should still work if you are so inclined | 16:43 |
| DarkKnight | Huufarted; not only XP but also Fedora... | 16:43 |
| gordonjcp | glitsj16: I did, it threw an error | 16:43 |
| gordonjcp | khaije1: I really can't think of a situation where I'd want to refer to disks by a big long string rather than just the name | 16:44 |
| Huufarted | DarkKnight, install XP first, then go with the Linux installations | 16:44 |
| IdentifyTarget | Is adding bluetooth to ubuntu easy? | 16:44 |
| khaije1 | gordonjcp: it seems like you don't understand, but if you want to use it the old way you may still do that | 16:44 |
| Seveas | gordonjcp, the /dev/* names change when adding/removing disks. The UUID's do not | 16:44 |
| gordonjcp | Seveas: yes, that's right | 16:44 |
| gordonjcp | khaije1: I don't see the advantage | 16:44 |
| xee | Hi everyone, regarding Conky, I want someone who is actually using it to tell me the usage pattern, do you launch it whenever you want to check system stats or do you keep it running, if it's running how do you display it, etc | 16:45 |
| gordonjcp | I *want* the /dev/ names to change when I add or remove disks, that's the whole point | 16:45 |
| Seveas | gordonjcp, also, when mixing ide and sata (what people do), the names can change every reboot due to timeing issues | 16:45 |
| dr_Willis | xee, runs at login, and stays running all the time. | 16:45 |
| gordonjcp | okay great fine | 16:45 |
| dr_Willis | xee, if its confifgured right it shows up on the desktop same as the wallpaper | 16:45 |
| gordonjcp | yes, you're all absolutely right | 16:45 |
| Seveas | gordonjcp, yes, they should change. But we don't want people to have to edit /etc/fstab when adding/removing disks | 16:45 |
| gordonjcp | UUID is the best thing in the world ever | 16:45 |
| n8tuserf | gordonjcp-> here is a link that explain how udev and sysfs works together to create that UUID http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html | 16:46 |
| gordonjcp | UUID is better than bacon, chilli jam and Jesus | 16:46 |

| ubottu | gordonjcp: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 16:46 |
| gordonjcp | now how the hell do I get it to work? | 16:46 |
| glitsj16 | gordonjcp: just checked the man for blkid, you can specify the device, i left that out, in which case the system reads info from /proc/partitions, so if you know the device names, you should be able to produce all needed UUID's | 16:46 |
| _VIM_ | not having a meltdown helps, breath ;) | 16:46 |
| Seveas | gordonjcp, find the UUID with blk_id or vol_id and use it ) | 16:46 |

| KenBW2 | im not getting an IP address through an ethernet connection - is there a bug in intrepid's dhclient? | 16:55 |
| gordonjcp | fosco__: yes, that doesn't actually work | 16:56 |
| LakesProse | DIFH-iceroot: was asking 'cause kubuntu download 8.10 is the only one coming with bleeding edge cool KDE4.2 | 16:56 |
| LakesProse | DIFH-iceroot: thanks :) | 16:56 |
| Seveas | !doesn't work | gordonjcp | 16:56 |
| ubottu | gordonjcp: 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. | 16:56 |
| gordonjcp | fosco__: we've been through all this, but basically it only shows UUIDs of devices it knows about | 16:56 |
| gordonjcp | okay, thanks for all the help | 16:56 |
| Corganis | hhmm | 16:56 |
| gordonjcp | obivously it's something to do with blkid | 16:56 |
| DIFH-iceroot | LakesProse: kde 4.2 is not in normal ubuntu 8.04 repos but it is not a problm to use another repo | 16:56 |
| gordonjcp | but quite what, I can't figure out | 16:57 |
| LakesProse | danke | 16:57 |
| n8tuserf | KenBW2-> is your cable good? attached to the device doling out the ip addresses? | 16:57 |
| glitsj16 | gordonjcp: feed the sudo blkid the /dev/xxx of your swap and it will produce it's UUID | 16:57 |
| KenBW2 | n8tuserf: yep, ubuntu detects it and supposedly connects to it | 16:57 |
| gordonjcp | glitsj16: nope | 16:57 |
| harushimo | hi I have quick question for everyone | 16:57 |
| gordonjcp | glitsj16: again, doesn't work | 16:57 |
| nite_johnboy | What would be best app to use to convert a file from either .flac or .mp3 to a (regular music cd file) < .wav > ? ? | 16:57 |
| n8tuserf | KenBW2-> what does it meant by that ? supposedly connects? what indicators are you using? | 16:58 |
| harushimo | is their a special version of ubuntu that runs on tablet pc? | 16:58 |
| gordonjcp | glitsj16: it doesn't return anything at all | 16:58 |
| glitsj16 | gordonjcp: odd indeed | 16:58 |
| Seveas | gordonjcp, if blkid doesn't show the partition, it doesn't exist :) | 16:58 |
| gordonjcp | Seveas: it exists alright | 16:58 |
| gordonjcp | hang on hang on | 16:58 |
| KenBW2 | n8tuserf: NetworkManager does some swirling and tells me im coinnected, but ifconfig doesnt list an IP address | 16:58 |
| harushimo | does ubuntu run a tablet pc? | 16:58 |
| Matic | Hi, other that gedit and openofficeword which other simple wordprocessor can I install and use in ubuntu Hardy? | 16:58 |
| gordonjcp | Seveas: good point, what if the swapfs has been twatted | 16:58 |
| glitsj16 | Matic: abiword perhaps ? | 16:58 |
| _VIM_ | Matic: Abiword maybe | 16:58 |
| gordonjcp | Seveas: is UUID stored as part of the fs or part of the partition table? | 16:58 |
| _VIM_ | stop that glitsj16 ;) | 16:58 |
| n8tuserf | gordonjcp-> lets approach this differently, cat /sys/block and post it in pastebin | 16:59 |
| GooD2KnoW | has anyone some repos with up2date apache / php etc. ? | 16:59 |
| gordonjcp | n8tuserf: no, hang on, I think I'm onto something here | 16:59 |
| Seveas | gordonjcp, I believe it's not part of the fs | 16:59 |
| _VIM_ | !backports | GooD2KnoW | 16:59 |
| ubottu | GooD2KnoW: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 16:59 |
| Seveas | gonna mkswap my swap partition and see | 16:59 |
| glitsj16 | _VIM_: if i see the winning lotto numbers for your zip-code, i won't publish them here .. agreed :p | 16:59 |
| gordonjcp | Seveas: yeah I just did mkswap and it returned a UUID | 16:59 |
| gordonjcp | and now blkid is returning a UUID too | 17:00 |
| _VIM_ | haha! | 17:00 |
| gordonjcp | wtf | 17:00 |
| Matic | glitsj16, _VIM_ thanks man! | 17:00 |
| Seveas | gordonjcp, so it is part of the 'fs' (swapspace isn't really an fs) | 17:00 |
| n8tuserf | KenBW2-> if ifconfig does not give you an ip address then you dont have an ip address, maybe the nm is funky | 17:00 |
| gordonjcp | Seveas: some sort of magic metadata, certainly | 17:00 |
| gordonjcp | Seveas: weird | 17:00 |
| glitsj16 | Matic: you're welcome, abiword is quite nice and responsive | 17:00 |
| KenBW2 | n8tuserf: i established that already, but this has happened on 2 PCs when i try to run Intrepid on my network | 17:00 |
| Corganis | Im using xchat and my userlist disapeared, how do I get it back? | 17:01 |
| Seveas | gordonjcp actually, if you (and me) had read the manpage properly, we'd have known already. First few lines | 17:01 |
| Seveas | The blkid program is the command-line interface to working with libblkid(3) library. It can deter‐ | 17:01 |
| Seveas | mine the type of content (e.g. filesystem, swap) a block device holds, and also attributes (tokens, | 17:01 |
| Seveas | NAME=value pairs) from the content metadata (e.g. LABEL or UUID fields). | 17:01 |
| _VIM_ | Corganis: look in Window menu | 17:01 |
| gordonjcp | Seveas: hah | 17:01 |
| Mattias | prince_jammys, do you know how fast grep is? say it has 850~MB of data to go through? | 17:01 |
| Seveas | Corganis, view -> userlist (or ctrl+f7) | 17:01 |
| gordonjcp | Seveas: what, instead of just jumping ahead to the options? | 17:02 |
| gordonjcp | ;-) | 17:02 |
| n8tuserf | KenBW2-> so try to use command line instead | 17:02 |
| prince_jammys | Mattias: "pretty damn fast" | 17:02 |
| Corganis | thanks guys! | 17:02 |
| KenBW2 | n8tuserf: using what command(s)? | 17:02 |
| n8tuserf | KenBW2-> you want the interface up? sudo ifup eth0; down? sudo ifdown eth0 | 17:02 |
| prince_jammys | Mattias: keep in mind your "sentence" must appear all on one line for it to match. grep is line-based | 17:02 |
| gordonjcp | Seveas: there's some sort of header in my swap partition | 17:03 |
| Mattias | prince_jammys, including white space? | 17:03 |
| prince_jammys | Mattias: huh? whatever you are matching must appear all on one line | 17:03 |
| Eurysilas | I doubt I'll get a response, but.....I'm VERY frustrated; every few boots, my X Server stops working. After the splash screen, the monitor goes amber, and begins shutting on and off. The only solution I've found is to reconfigure the X server from the recovery console. After that, things are fine for another few boots. The ONLY error I get is the (it seems) famous MTRR error. | 17:03 |
| Mattias | prince_jammys, nvm, I read that wrong ^.^ yeah, it's on the same line in the middle of a sentence, or rather code | 17:04 |
| KenBW2 | n8tuserf: "Ignoring unknown interdace eth0=eth0." | 17:04 |
| === nicolas_ is now known as Guest88042 | ||
| gordonjcp | right well, seriously, thanks for the help and advice | 17:04 |
| prince_jammys | Mattias: run the command somewhere where you know it is, to make sure there's no mistake in the way you typed the string | 17:04 |
| gordonjcp | and just remember, fdisk might not leave things alone even when it looks like it should | 17:04 |
| n8tuserf | KenBW2-> then you have to insert the iface eth0 inet dhcp; auto eth0 in the interfaces file | 17:04 |
| KenBW2 | n8tuserf: where's the interfaces file | 17:06 |
| DIFH-iceroot | KenBW2: /etc/network/interfaces | 17:06 |
| Mattias | prince_jammys, recently had a hacker exploit a non updated calendar called thyme. it had a bad vulnerability -.- allowed the hacker to upload php scripts. found 2x copies so far without using a search. hopefully there are no more left. | 17:06 |
| prince_jammys | Mattias: ah | 17:07 |
| Mattias | they used the php script to send spam -.- | 17:07 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Mattias: if there was an attack, reinstall the system with other passwords | 17:07 |
| KenBW2 | n8tuserf: then ifdown and ifup again? | 17:07 |
| n8tuserf | KenBW2-> as root or use sudo yes | 17:08 |
| Mattias | DIFH-iceroot, updated and changed all passwords, this is on a webhost. so can't reinstall the actual system. | 17:08 |
| Mattias | DIFH-iceroot, http://www.extrosoft.com/About/Thyme/Thyme_Vulnerability/ <-- thats what they used | 17:08 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Mattias: hm, ok | 17:09 |
| Eurysilas | Come now....surely SOMEONE has some experience with X? | 17:09 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Eurysilas: just ask your question | 17:10 |
| rubydiamond | how do I upgrade to latest subversion in ubuntu gutsy? | 17:10 |
| carpii | ah the old 'throw down the gauntlet' tactic | 17:10 |
| sebsebseb | Eurysilas: what's your problem? | 17:10 |
| Eurysilas | DIFH-iceroot, I already DID. No response. | 17:10 |
| sebsebseb | rubydiamond: Gutsy is on the verge of no longer being suppourted upgrade to Hardy Heron 8.04 or Intrepid Ibex 8.10 | 17:10 |
| carpii | rubydiamond, you mean latest svn, or latest version thats in the repositories ? | 17:10 |
| rubydiamond | I want latest command line svn... | 17:11 |

| GooD2KnoW | has anyone some repos with up2date apache / php etc. ? (backports arent up2date) | 17:13 |
| Mattias | carpii, I used to use gentoo, and compiling is fun ^.^ mplayer from svn is a must ^.^ | 17:13 |

| n8tuserf | KenBW2-> post your sudo lshw -C network results | 17:14 |
| sebsebseb | Eurysilas: Nivida or ATI? # | 17:14 |
| carpii | ok ruby so working copy has been upgraded | 17:14 |
| carpii | this isnt relevant anyway, you need a newer version ;) | 17:14 |
| renan_saddam | so, I have files in renan:sambashare and its files are already acessible by Samba, but not for Apache. How can I allow? If I change to www-data:www-data it works on Apache, but breaks Samba. | 17:15 |
| gnome | thanx | 17:15 |
| n8tuserf | KenBW2-> it seems like you dont have a good cable between your host and your dchp server or bad nic card? | 17:15 |

| KenBW2 | n8tuserf: somes up as text here | 17:19 |
| Eurysilas | sebsebseb: I already tried searching in launchpad. I found people with MTRR errors, but, there were WAY too many bugs that fall under that to attempt to use them for a workaround strategy. | 17:19 |
| n8tuserf | KenBW2-> use that pastebin i recommended or else am not going to be able to view it | 17:20 |

| FloodBot1 | zecky: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:22 |
| savvas | renan_saddam: "sudo adduser youruser yourgroup" is used when the user and the group already exist, it doesn't create neither of them :) | 17:22 |
| KenBW2 | n8tuserf: its an eeepc 701 if that helps | 17:23 |
| renan_saddam | savvas: ok then. :) | 17:23 |
| prince_jammys | Mattias: i believe so | 17:23 |
| Droopsta915 | where is a dvd mounted, when inserted? | 17:23 |
| prince_jammys | Mattias: yep, just tested | 17:23 |
| n8tuserf | KenBW2 -> that wont help me, it should be pretty straight forward eth interface.. | 17:23 |
| KenBW2 | n8tuserf: so where do i go from here | 17:24 |

| Pici | skrypt: unrar-free or just unrar? | 17:35 |
| skrypt | Pici, just unrar | 17:36 |

| GnomeKing | Hi :) How cna I find the maximum file size for my ext3 drive? wikipedia says its dependant on the block size, but I've no idea how to check that... | 17:52 |
| Gumersindo | i'm bored | 17:52 |
| melrockz | Yes, I did. | 17:52 |
| LogicFan | melrockz, my only other suggestion is to try editing gconf | 17:52 |
| LogicFan | anyone have an idea of why my sound dies whenever i close the lid on my laptop? even when no power management features are enable for lid closure (it just blanks the screen) | 17:55 |
| carpii | i created a .bash_profile and did added JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin/. After closing the terminal and reopening it, the var still isnt set. Must I log out of X and everything in order for .bash_profile to be reread ? | 17:55 |
| LogicFan | nothing but a total system restart fixes the sound | 17:55 |
| LogicFan | restarting alsa or pulseaudio or both doesn't help | 17:55 |
| melrockz | how to do that? What to edit? | 17:56 |
| scampbell | GnomeKing: It depends on the file system. To get the block size of a ext3 fs on /dev/sda1 do: dumpe2fs /dev/sda1 | grep -i 'block size' | 17:56 |
| jonkenny | hi | 17:58 |
| jonkenny | i just installed mondo rescue on unbuntu 8.10.,.. i can't see it anywhere.. does anyone know where i can find it and how to run the program? | 17:59 |
| dushkoo | hello, where to buy ubuntu cd online? | 18:00 |
| ax | so i run gnome apps [gvim, evolution, (i guess even firefox is using gnome stuff)] in a non-gnome window manager. this used to work fine but now that i've updated to ubuntu 8.10 any gnome app i run spits out errors about enabling TCP/IP in ORBit, or having a stale NFS lock.. it points me to a website which talks about locks but i dont' actually have those locks present.. | 18:00 |
| LogicFan | dushkoo, you want a CD? | 18:00 |
| ax | this is not a problem if i run the gnome window manager.. | 18:00 |
| ax | it used to not be a problem with my normal wm.. any ideas? | 18:00 |

I've asked at the windows IRC channel for suggestions but wondering if you guys have any sggestions for fixing the drive... | 18:17 |
| dremits | ...(you seem to be more technically minded). Is there software (either windows, linux or boot from cd) that can just completly wipe and format my drive as I think it may be corrupt | 18:17 |

| Titan8990 | dremits, when you say ubuntu doesn't detect, it, it doesn't show up in fdisk -l or lsusb? | 18:18 |
| Incarus | <swing>, you have to install extra codecs, or try vlc, it plays everything | 18:18 |

| === BeerMonkeee is now known as Kryzler | ||
| Titan8990 | WarriorSlayer, for custom kernels, I would recommend slackware, gentoo, or arch | 18:46 |
| aestevez | a abel i as leido lo otro | 18:46 |
| WarriorSlayer | Titan8990: so i should forget about that compiled kernel and stick with the generic one? | 18:46 |
| fabiola | kotro | 18:46 |
| Titan8990 | WarriorSlayer, ubuntu is a "just works" distro that should not require kernel compilation | 18:46 |
| Titan8990 | WarriorSlayer, that would be my recommendation | 18:46 |
| WarriorSlayer | i know, i was just trying to optimize it for my processor and everything else | 18:47 |

| WarriorSlayer | Mion: ppl told me about gentoo | 18:47 |
| WarriorSlayer | i've already used slack/arch for that | 18:47 |
| Titan8990 | WarriorSlayer, all my systems are gentoo | 18:47 |

| aestevez | yes is big big big | 18:49 |

| felixsulla | I am installing Ubuntu on a box that already has Win XP on it. I got to the partition part and it shows partition one "/dev/sdb1" and then it shows the part it will make for Ubuntu. The sizes dont match my drive. Is /dev/sdb1 Windows? | 18:52 |

| sushiX | can you tell me a good software to transfer files between to machines | 18:53 |
| Titan8990 | WarriorSlayer, yes, their install documentation is excellent | 18:53 |
| marimar_ | ANA | 18:53 |
| Titan8990 | WarriorSlayer, with the only real difficult part being configuring the kernel, which you seem to have done before | 18:53 |
| tom_ | sushiX: There are various tools. You'll have to give more information for a good answer. | 18:53 |
| WarriorSlayer | Titan8990: yep, i have the .config here | 18:53 |
| Sadata | @sushix - FileZilla | 18:53 |
| rrplay | noiz__ seems like you may have fouled your rc.xml file | 18:53 |
| felixsulla | Does anyone know? | 18:53 |
| WarriorSlayer | so is like just make install :] | 18:53 |
| WarriorSlayer | initrd and everything else | 18:53 |
| noiz_ | But how? i did not touch anything | 18:53 |
| tritium | aestevez, marimar_: /j #ubuntu-es, por favor | 18:53 |
| Sadata | @sushix - or use sftp (install Open SSH) | 18:53 |
| Titan8990 | WarriorSlayer, the kernel config uses initrd | 18:53 |
| noiz_ | important i mean | 18:53 |
| IdentifyTarget | is xorg the same thing as x11? | 18:54 |
| Titan8990 | WarriorSlayer, a gentoo install does not use initrd | 18:54 |
| Incarus | tritium, bann the spammer | 18:54 |
| noiz_ | rrplay i only changed my layout , and then few shortcuts | 18:54 |
| Incarus | <IdentifyTarget>, no | 18:54 |
| noiz_ | rrplay but what is the fix for this dumb mistake i did? | 18:54 |
| Titan8990 | WarriorSlayer, becuase initrd is what allows linux to run on different hardware, you are configuring for YOUR system so initrd is not used | 18:54 |
| rrplay | noiz that file contains all of your desktop keyboard and mouse settings | 18:54 |
| WarriorSlayer | Titan8990: oh @_@, and how do i configure my grub/lilo? | 18:54 |
| noiz_ | rrplay the thing is i the settings are same | 18:54 |
| Titan8990 | WarriorSlayer, page 10 of the install guide | 18:54 |
| sushiX | i dont want to use terminal and i want to transfer files on a LAN not the internet | 18:54 |
| rrplay | noiz_ it also has all the info for keybindings | 18:54 |
| noiz_ | rrplay and the other keybinds are there and one thing more , my mouse works on cs | 18:55 |
| WarriorSlayer | Titan8990: ty very much dude, gonna read a lot here ^^ | 18:55 |
| noiz_ | rrplay just the keyboards does not | 18:55 |
| Titan8990 | WarriorSlayer, good luck man | 18:55 |
| tom_ | sushiX: You shouldn't be so afraid of the terminal. however, over LAN you might want to try samba. You can configure this in System -> Admin -> Shared Folders, I think. | 18:55 |
| Sadata | You can use SFTP via the Nautilus GUI on a network --- it doesn't have to be over Internet | 18:55 |
| Mion | Titan8990: a gentoo install uses a initrd if you set one up :p | 18:55 |
| rrplay | noiz_ sometimes a gui interface can acidentally change it | 18:56 |
| tom_ | sushiX: If not samba, then dc++ might also be a good idea, but you'll need to run a dc++ server. | 18:56 |
| noiz_ | rrplay oh and one more things , left from the number 1 is ^ button , and well after i changed the keyboard stuff i went on cs and try'd to open console but it did not open | 18:56 |
| sushiX | any other options other than samba since both machine are ubuntu | 18:56 |
| Incarus | <noiz_>, do you play cs in wine? | 18:56 |
| noiz_ | rrplay so what , you advise me to reformat? not again no please | 18:56 |
| noiz_ | rrplay yes , ofcourse | 18:56 |
| tom_ | sushiX: You can use samba on ubuntu. Send and receive. | 18:56 |
| Titan8990 | sushiX, NFS, http, ftp, rsync | 18:56 |
| majax | bonsoir | 18:56 |
| Sadata | sushix, just install OpenSSH on each Ubuntu machine ... then just connect the machines using Places -> Connect to Server and select SSH | 18:56 |

| LjL | axisys: not a tested official one, but http://www.getdeb.net/app/Second+Life (and google has more) | 19:02 |
| felixsulla | gparted? Is that an Ubuntu thing or a windows thing? | 19:02 |
| felixsulla | What is the livecd? | 19:02 |
| LjL | !gparted > felixsulla (felixsulla, see the private message from ubottu) | 19:02 |
| mgolisch | its quite easy, backup stuff, resize partition, create new, install on that | 19:02 |
| Titan8990 | felixsulla, the livecd is the standard ubuntu installer | 19:02 |
| axisys | LjL: thnx | 19:02 |
| Titan8990 | felixsulla, lets you "try" before you install | 19:03 |
| felixsulla | So, boot to the "live" version, then use apt-get to install gparted, then make a partition for UBunutu, then reboot using teh cd? | 19:03 |
| LjL | uh... | 19:03 |
| LjL | actually the installer *can* shrink down the windows partition fine, without using gparted manually | 19:03 |
| LjL | of course, a backup *is* important to have | 19:03 |
| Titan8990 | felixsulla, gparted is already on the livecd, not need to use apt-get and no need to reboot the cd | 19:03 |

| Titan8990 | felixsulla, yes | 19:04 |
| LjL | Titan8990: yes i do - it just uses the same backend that gparted uses, after all. of course, i only trust it to the same extent that i trust gparted, i.e. i'd never run it without a backup | 19:04 |
| === thiago_ is now known as m4tri_x | ||
| Titan8990 | LjL, gparted uses partman backend? | 19:05 |
| === m4tri_x is now known as m4tri_X | ||
| felixsulla | So there is no difference between using gparted and using the livecd installer as far as partioning is concerned? | 19:05 |
| Titan8990 | felixsulla, seems that way | 19:05 |
| LjL | Titan8990: there is currently no "partman" package, it's all in the "ubiquity" package. and you can see that "ubiquity" depends on "libparted1.7-1" (your version may vary, i'm on hardy), that's the same thing that "gparted" depends on | 19:07 |
| winnerz | hi | 19:08 |
| winnerz | some one like talk | 19:08 |
| LjL | !offtopic | 19:08 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 19:08 |
| Titan8990 | LjL, alright, I get it now | 19:09 |
| Titan8990 | LjL, parted is the backedend, gparted is the GUI based front end and partman is the TUI front-end | 19:10 |
| felixsulla | So Ibex uses ubiquity too? | 19:10 |
| Seveas | Titan8990, does partman use parted? | 19:10 |
| Seveas | didn't know that :) | 19:10 |
| Seveas | felixsulla, ubiquity for gui installes and d-i for text-based instals | 19:11 |
| LjL | Titan8990: i guess, though partman doesn't seem to be an available package in hardy. anyway, it's to be said that parted itself doesn't support NTFS resizing, so gparted relies on ntfsprogs for that (i think), while ubiquity doesn't depends on it | 19:11 |
| LjL | Titan8990: my guess, though, is that it uses it anyway even without depending on it | 19:11 |
| Seveas | LjL, partman is part of d-i, it probably only exists as udeb package for use there | 19:11 |
| LjL | Seveas: ah ok. it is referenced in my package list as a matter of fact, just not available | 19:12 |

| Seveas | if that says the applet is running, add the notification area/system tray/whatever xfce calls it applet | 19:13 |
| Seveas | Titan8990, network-manager-applet isn't really an applet. The icon appears in the notification area instead of as a separate applet | 19:13 |

| Mr_Speedy | holyguyver: u r running it with pulseaudio? | 19:48 |
| holyguyver | Mr_Speedy, I cannot do that second one as there is something I am trying to recover. | 19:48 |
| Mr_Speedy | holyguyver: what r u trying to recover? | 19:48 |
| holyguyver | Mr_Speedy, I already did this # aptitude install pulseaudio and then $ padsp audacity a few weeks ago & I always run it as padsp audacity. | 19:48 |

| ehloreverse | I'm search a staff of irclogs.ubuntu.com | 19:53 |

| HEP85 | Droopsta915: Strange. Maybe the link is dead. What Ubuntu version do you have? | 19:54 |
| nomasteryoda | Jocke1, search for Flash | 19:54 |

| nomasteryoda | ninom, kismet would be a geeky, yet very good tool for that | 20:00 |
| DIFH-iceroot | tehboriz: use a blank password for keyring | 20:00 |
| tehboriz | it didn't let me do that when i installed 8.10 | 20:01 |

| DIFH-iceroot | tehboriz: hm dont know, 8.04 works fine with blank keyword | 20:01 |
| ninom | mikkysixx, yes i saw the network manager, but it doesnt list any connections around me or my wireless connection i have to manually type the ssid and so on | 20:01 |
| nomasteryoda | ninom, you can add gps data and have it speak the names/status of those access points too | 20:01 |
| ninom | nomasteryoda, how to do this ? | 20:01 |
| tehboriz | DIFH-iceroot, i'm looking for more of stuff like "this lets you modify essential parts of the system, plz enter password" - workaround | 20:02 |

| noiz_ | so i asked some help before and the guy i asked screwed absolutly everything up | 20:03 |
| hackel | rrplay, bah, just like before, it worked for a while, and now it resets to the lowest speed no matter what I do. :/ | 20:04 |
| noiz_ | now i cant use absolutly no good graphix | 20:04 |
| rrplay | Jackel add then to /etc/apt/sources.lst | 20:04 |
| noiz_ | rrplay who was the guy who was helping me? , he ruined everything :( | 20:04 |
| Titan8990 | noiz_, how did he manage that? | 20:04 |
| noiz_ | rrplay he told me to edit some config | 20:04 |
| rrplay | hacke; see here as well http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ | 20:04 |
| Titan8990 | noiz_, which config? did you make a backup? | 20:04 |
| rrplay | noiz_, which config ?? | 20:04 |
| noiz_ | titan8990 no but he told me to change only 1 thing | 20:05 |
| noiz_ | rrplay it was the graphix thingy or something | 20:05 |
| noiz_ | rrplay he told me to add "driver" "fireijorwwhatevertherewas" | 20:05 |
| rrplay | noiz : was /etc/X11/xorg.con ?? | 20:05 |
| Titan8990 | noiz_, that would be xorg.conf | 20:05 |
| noiz_ | rrplay yes really familiar | 20:05 |
| Titan8990 | noiz_, just change it back | 20:05 |
| Titan8990 | rrplay, always have the user make a backup of config files before changing them | 20:06 |
| rrplay | Titan8990, thanks | 20:06 |
| noiz_ | Titan8990 but how i get my graphix how they were before | 20:06 |
| noiz_ | titan8990 thank you | 20:06 |
| hackel | rrplay, I've seen that before, setting it manually doesn't work either, unfortunately. I guess it must be some larger bug. | 20:06 |
| === Brucey is now known as Brucee | ||

| noiz_ | titan8990 that i did have bad graphix at cs so he asked what i told ati radeon | 20:06 |
| noiz_ | titan8990 then he talked something that i dont have any working drivers | 20:07 |
| rrplay | Titan8990, I did not have noiz edit his file someone else | 20:07 |
| noiz_ | rrplay it was somone else. | 20:07 |

| Titan8990 | noiz_, alright, change whatever the driver was to: Driver "radeon" | 20:07 |
| prince_jammys | incarus | 20:07 |
| noiz_ | titan8990 noo titan | 20:07 |
| Titan8990 | noiz_, but make a backup first: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak | 20:07 |
| Titan8990 | noiz_, alright, then don't.... | 20:08 |
| noiz_ | titan8990 no you dont get it | 20:08 |
| rrplay | hackel: from the looks of it you are not alone with your chipset and scaling problems | 20:08 |
| noiz_ | titan8990 the thing was there was no "driver" there before | 20:08 |
| Titan8990 | noiz_, what don't I get? | 20:08 |
| Titan8990 | noiz_, alright, but I am telling you what driver will work | 20:08 |

| bernz | dan, ...but it's in fact a USB device? (i didn't know devices like that would have a "common" driver, like mass storage (MSD), for example) | 20:12 |
| nomasteryoda | ninom1, ok .. now you need to put in your card model like this site says... its a little bit of editing the /etc/kismet/kismet.conf file, but not much unless you want to do GPS and speech too. ... i'm finding a good howto url for you... I just keep copying my kismet.conf file into /etc/kismet/ from a backup as it always is the same for my wireless card | 20:13 |
| Jimi_Hendrix | hi...i am not at a linux pc, so can someone tell me a US server that has the ubuntu repo on it? | 20:13 |

| noiz_ | Somone want to help me out whit my graphix? ;/ | 20:14 |
| bernz | dan, ahhh... so are you using line-in/line-out to put your fx processor "inline"? (sounds like that would be the way) -- in that case, your soundcard and driver need to support full duplex (most modern ones do) | 20:14 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_, so did you backup and edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as he advised? | 20:15 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ yes | 20:15 |
| Dan | bernz, Yes, how do I switch it on my ubuntu computer to be able to hear the music run through the effects processor? | 20:15 |
| bernz | Dan, if you have a brand/model number, i could "see" the device on the Web and get a better idea | 20:15 |

| hackel | rrplay, I'm still having trouble, but I don't think these tools will work because even the low-level proc interface doesn't work, it seems like a kernel issue. | 20:17 |

| chasboz | if you are using virtual box have you installed additions? | 20:18 |

| sli_ | hello | 20:19 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_, sry, I meant 'lsmod | grep radeon' | 20:19 |
| macrobad_ | :) | 20:19 |
| rrplay | hackel, : because those options in a custom kernel are avail and specific | 20:19 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ np, radeon 123296 0 | 20:19 |
| noiz_ | drm 80660 1 radeon | 20:19 |
| King_tiger_claw | I never use linux. But I want to use linux. | 20:19 |
| hackel | rrplay, yeah, maybe I'll get around to that eventually! | 20:19 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ before he told me to write alot of stuff to terminal and paste the output | 20:20 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ but i am too dumb to fix :/ | 20:20 |
| === Mud is now known as Mud|shower | ||
| noiz_ | macrobad_ he was talking abaut something ati drivers not working properly | 20:20 |
| rrplay | hackel I know for sure that those are options would very likely solve your problem done corecctly | 20:20 |
| rrplay | hackel: the kernel is the heart of linux anyhow | 20:21 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ so i dont actually know what to do anymore | 20:21 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ now i am stuck on even worse graphix than before and i cant fix it :) | 20:21 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_, well if you have loaded the right radeon driver, and it still works worse then it used to, there are two solutions. 1. try to configure it. 2. reset xorg.conf into default settings | 20:21 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Jimi_Hendrix: you cant download firefox directly from the repos apt-get is using but apt-cd is maybe what you need | 20:21 |
| DIFH-iceroot | !apt-cd | Jimi_Hendrix | 20:21 |
| adamw9678 | jhonnyboy what the prob? | 20:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-cd | 20:21 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ how i do that? | 20:21 |
| DIFH-iceroot | !aptoncd | Jimi_Hendrix | 20:22 |
| ubottu | Jimi_Hendrix: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 20:22 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ :/ | 20:22 |
| hackel | rrplay, heh, yes I realize that, I've been compiling kernels for 10 years. The problem is I still want the CPU to scale normally, it's just that I need it to be at the highest level for Flash video. | 20:22 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_, I know how to do the second, you run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg', but let's try to configure it first | 20:22 |
| rrplay | hackel:: me too | 20:23 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ would it be easyer on pm? | 20:23 |
| Jimi_Hendrix | DIFH-iceroot, ok well what server (or just a list of servers is fine) would i download x from when i do apt-get install x | 20:23 |
| rrplay | hackel: thought i saw a few script a while ago adressing the same isssue hang on | 20:23 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_, ah, let us discuss it on the channel. Maybe there is someone with Radeon here, who could help you, because I don't even have it. :) | 20:24 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Jimi_Hendrix: look at /etc/apt/sources.list | 20:24 |
| === diego is now known as Guest79720 | ||
| Jay_mf | hi | 20:24 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ oh pellets , ok well | 20:24 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ so where should i start? | 20:24 |
| Jimi_Hendrix | DIFH-iceroot, can you just post one...i am not on a linux computer | 20:24 |
| Tamago | has anoyone gotten compiz fusion working with the nvidia driver? | 20:24 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ just a sec, I'll check one thing | 20:24 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ he even gave me some page | 20:25 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Jimi_Hendrix: just a german http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 20:25 |
| Jimi_Hendrix | ok | 20:25 |
| Jimi_Hendrix | that will do i just want to see something | 20:25 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ i still have the page if you would like | 20:25 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xgl/+bug/145715 | 20:25 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ he explained that , my drivers are not working and my pc is trying to 3d render or sumth | 20:26 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_, btw, which system do you have? | 20:26 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ amm ,ubuntu | 20:27 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ i accidently run into linux few months ago when my box was intruded by some skiddie | 20:27 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_, I mean, which Ubuntu? | 20:27 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ i replaced my windows whith linx / bad mistake | 20:27 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ amm .. i am not shure >D | 20:27 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ and if it is helpful then i think i am not using a dvi / what ever that is | 20:28 |
| tommy179 | Hallo | 20:28 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ how i find out what ubuntu i am on | 20:28 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ :) 'cat /etc/lsb-release' would show the contents of the specified file, and it should be written there | 20:29 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_Ubuntu 8.04.1" | 20:29 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ ubuntu 8.04.1 :D | 20:29 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ Oh, I have almost the same: Ubuntu 8.04.2 | 20:30 |
| tommy179 | c u | 20:30 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ that should make things a little easyer i think :d | 20:30 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ heh all the things i do for my gaming and linux , missing top gear atm :D | 20:30 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ ah the agony | 20:30 |
| Droopsta915 | How can I view videos if I cant use flash mediaplayer? | 20:31 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ so what should i do? or are you looking in to it already ? :) | 20:32 |
| mani_ | can anybody send me full port scanner i.e fin,null etc | 20:32 |
| mani_ | exit | 20:32 |
| noiz_ | Oh god | 20:33 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_, what? | 20:33 |
| rrplay | hackel, :: what processor are you running and kernel ?? | 20:33 |
| noiz_ | Anyone here whit a radeon ati 9200 and know's how to actually make it work ? | 20:33 |
| === picca-afk is now known as picca | ||
| noiz_ | macrobad_ eh nothing . | 20:34 |
| erUSUL | noiz_: i used to have one of those that worked fine with the free radeon driver | 20:34 |
| hackel | rrplay, Intel Core2 Duo T8300, 2.6.28-6-generic. | 20:34 |
| noiz_ | erUSUL well .. it does but not 3d render | 20:35 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_, 'aptitude show xserver-xgl | grep State' should tell us whether you have XGL rendering enabled or not. it might be a problem | 20:35 |
| rrplay | hackel, really sweet man ! | 20:35 |
| Sw3RvE | will any version work via usb flash drive/ | 20:35 |
| erUSUL | noiz_: iirc it is blacklisted for compiz but it can do other 3d stuff just fine | 20:35 |
| hackel | rrplay, heh yeah you would THINK a cpu like that could handle playing a simple flash video! If it weren't such garbage software... | 20:35 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ it actually did give no output | 20:36 |
| JW | Could someone please tell me briefly: is apt-get the "standard" "preferred" way to install software on Ubuntu or is there some other "standard" tool that's usually used? | 20:36 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ State: not installed | 20:36 |
| linny1 | when you renice a user does/should the nice value get reset on reboot ? | 20:36 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ ok, then one possible reason is invalidated | 20:36 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ ok . | 20:36 |
| rww | JW: apt-get is fine. aptitude and synaptic and kadept are fine too. they all use the same package management system. | 20:37 |
| erUSUL | JW: all tools are just front ends for the same package database apt aptitude synaptic etc | 20:37 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ should i go put my water boiler working to make some coffe , as i can already see it will be going to take time :) | 20:37 |
| JW | yeah ok I know about all the front-ends but I wasn't sure if there was some special one that is supposed to be used by most folks. | 20:37 |
| linxeh | is there a command line tool for reconfiguring network settings? or should I just edit the config manually ? | 20:37 |
| JW | thanks | 20:37 |
| rrplay | hackel you got more than enough speed man is it just playing flash vids or just speed in general | 20:38 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ yeah, why not. I hope, it won't take more then 20 minutes though | 20:38 |
| linny1 | when you renice a user does/should the nice value get reset on reboot ? | 20:38 |
| darkhelmetlive | is it possible to configure network manager to use different dhclient.conf configs for different interfaces? i need it to prepend different DNS servers for wireless and wired interfaces. | 20:38 |
| hackel | rrplay, it's just flash. Also have an nvidia card so have to use their awful proprietary drivers which slow things down. | 20:38 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ that really depends on you and my cooperation :D | 20:38 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ can you paste you current xorg.conf to pastebin.org | 20:38 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ yes shure | 20:38 |
| Izinucs | hackel: did you install nvidia's 180.29 driver or use the one with ubuntu? | 20:39 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ i cant copy it all together | 20:39 |
| rrplay | hackel oh man this is not the same problem this is way easier then cpu throttling | 20:39 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ when i scroll down the other stuff dissapears and when i scroll up it appears again | 20:39 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ why? btw, it is pastebin.com and not pastebin.org | 20:39 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ i am not that dumb >D | 20:40 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ which editor do you use? | 20:40 |
| rrplay | hackel previously in this chat others were installing macromedia flas as well | 20:40 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ its in my terminal. | 20:40 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ :) sry | 20:40 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ xD | 20:40 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ can you open it with gedit? | 20:40 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ how i do that | 20:40 |
| noiz_ | macrobad_ i know if i had the command to do that yes i can | 20:40 |
| macrobad_ | gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:41 |

| hackel | rrplay, the problem is that for some reason with the default settings, when flash is running it is not elevating the cpu, causing it to run at 800mhz. | 20:42 |
| fiftyone | fasco_ thank you | 20:42 |
| puremichael | hmm.. i'm downloading with epiphany and got 100%, but nothing happens... any ideas? | 20:42 |

| macrobad_ | noiz_ I did. It's pretty messy. :) | 20:43 |

| carpii | nano /etc/network/interfaces | 20:45 |
| hackel | rrplay, well yes, it's Flash, like I said. It's just extremely poorly written and proprietary, it doesn't use hardware acceleration the way mplayer or gstreamer does (which work fine). | 20:46 |

| Melik | hey guys, my /var/lib/dpkg/status file is missing.. and i can hardly do anything. how can i rebuild a new dpkg status file? | 20:46 |

| gescape | I am trying to change the position of the mouse pointer after X is started. Can anyone help me to find some tips, config or something? | 20:47 |

| macrobad_ | noiz_ It seems though that you have ati driver loaded. Anyway, just generally, there are three drivers for ATI Radeon cards, and these are fglrx (fastest, but buggy from Adobe), radeon (stable but slow open source for old ati cards), and radeonhd (stable open source for new ati cards). You seem to use the correct driver, and the correct server version. The only two reasons it can be broken are improper config, and compiz running and preventing | 20:48 |
| rrplay | hackel, are you talking about standalone flash your browser | 20:48 |
| linxeh | erUSUL: sure, but for reboot? are there no scripts that manage the configs in /etc/network ? | 20:48 |
| fiftyone | I am trying to get two partitions i have to automount at startup one works the other dosent for some reason one if fat32 the other is NTFS I got the NTFS to moount nicely but the fat 32 dosent want to automount | 20:48 |

| Melik | hey guys, my /var/lib/dpkg/status file is missing.. and i can hardly do anything. how can i rebuild a new dpkg status file? | 20:48 |
| rrplay | hackel, :or your browser | 20:48 |
| darkhelmetlive | is it possible to configure network manager to use different dhclient.conf configs for different interfaces? i need it to prepend different DNS servers for wireless and wired interfaces. | 20:49 |
| hackel | rrplay, in-browser (youtube, hulum etc,). Other people have reported similar issues, so I've accepted that it and am just trying to set the cpu frequency as a work-around until Adobe (or gnash) gets their act together. | 20:49 |
| noiz_ | macrobod_ so what happened? he told me to change something and it ruined everything | 20:49 |
| linxeh | erUSUL: and similarly for wireless configs etc | 20:49 |
| rrplay | hackel:: did you try opera ?? go no problem with firefox on 1.87 | 20:49 |
| Dorisane | theres no way the network manager can be this broken, surely | 20:49 |
| trumee | guys, does anybody use asterisk here? | 20:49 |
| hackel | rrplay, no I haven't tried opera, I don't want to add even more proprietary software to the mix! | 20:50 |
| noiz_ | macrobod_ i rebooted and it start then the screen scrambled and then it asked me if i want to configure or run on slow graphix i puted it on configure set everything i could tought on , that was choosing ati drivers and then it didnt let me choose bigger resolution | 20:50 |
| noiz_ | macrobod_ that guys whith the name starting whith I sUCKS! | 20:50 |
| noiz_ | macrobod_ he ruined everything :/ | 20:50 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ Make a backup of xorg.conf with 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.macrobad' and reset the settings into default with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'. It should make at least the desktop look ok. | 20:51 |
| rrplay | hackel so maybe just check your flash plugin | 20:51 |
| illumin8 | hackel please see this site reguarding flash http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ | 20:51 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ That's why a). backups are essential; b). I never trust anyone on the IRC. ;) | 20:51 |
| hackel | illumin8, I'm already running the latest version from there. | 20:51 |
| noiz_ | macrobod_ and now i will reboot? | 20:52 |
| illumin8 | hackel specificly the 64 bit version? | 20:52 |
| prince_jammys | noiz_: look in your irc logs for what you changed. apparently, you did it in private | 20:52 |
| hackel | I've had this issue since I got this computer, through all Flash versions, including the 32-bit versions run via ndiswrapper. | 20:52 |
| noiz_ | macrobod_ yes i did, i cant find how i see the logs? | 20:52 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ Now reboot to ensure everything is updated. | 20:52 |

| bernz | johan12, also, that was almost all large contiguous files (typically at least 150 MB) | 20:57 |
| noiz | macrobod_ and ty god i remember what i did before it started happening | 20:57 |
| macrobad_ | noiz: just a sec, I'm preparing for a networking presentation with a classmate | 20:57 |
| johan12 | bernz: what's the best app to use when doing these kind of large "backups"? | 20:57 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ check if cs if still slow, btw | 20:57 |
| noiz | macrobad_ oh i cant play | 20:57 |
| rrplay | noiz, :: see it can all work out | 20:58 |
| noiz | macrobad_ i cant join the server because i cant open console because the keyboard :d | 20:58 |
| noiz | rrplay because there are helpful guys like you and macrobad around | 20:58 |
| bernz | johan12, not sure, because so far i've generally just copied the entire volume with dd, or a partitioning program (i even tried just a straight 'cp', but that was painfully slow) | 20:58 |
| rrplay | noiz, about 1475 | 20:58 |
| noiz | macrobad_ but yes i have it showing fps on the game start screen and it was better | 20:58 |
| noiz | rrplay and yes :D | 20:58 |
| noiz | So hey , can somone help me out , i messed whit some keyboard shortcuts (sound shortcuts only) set my num numbers to play sound n etc on my totem player | 20:59 |
| noiz | and then after that pretty much something happened and my keyboard does not work on cs | 21:00 |
| philux-dijon | bonjour | 21:00 |
| Droopsta915 | Can someone help me get the adobe flash player to work again? It was working earlier today I don't know what I did, but I cant watch videos anymore. I've reinstalled an older version, the latest version, but nothing seems to work? | 21:00 |
| philux-dijon | does anyone know how to change the way that cheese names the pictures ? | 21:00 |
| johan12 | bernz: currently copying with roadkil's unstoppable copier (used in the past many times in winxp) through wine now, could that be a "problem"? | 21:01 |
| bernz | johan12, in fact, my plan (when i get 'round to it) is to use rsync for backups, and just turn on the "backup drives" once a week, and have a script that does whatever necessary to kickstart the sync | 21:01 |
| billiard_junkie | got a little problem here. I have an Belkin wireless g card (Atheros chipset 2413) and I installed Ubuntu 8.04, which did not have good support for the card. I tried madwifi, but I could not get it working. I read around a bit and came to the conclusion that 8.10 would have better support for such things. So, I went and installed it. Voila! the wireless works flawlessly; however, when I reboot, wireless connectivity is lost. | 21:01 |
| bernz | johan12, oh yeah, as "cool" as wine is, it can't avoid some wasted processing on translation, and on top of that, if it craps out for any reason, Windows tends to abandon the whole operation or whatever, which can be annoying (even if it just means a 'chkdsk') | 21:02 |
| Titan8990 | billiard_junkie, i have the same card and it works perfect with madwifi | 21:02 |
| Titan8990 | billiard_junkie, but you have to blacklist ath5k | 21:02 |

| eseven73 | A really easy GUI way of auto backups I found is, grsync (gui for rsync) and gnome-schedule (gui for cron), you can thank me later ;) | 21:03 |
| bernz | johan12, so i would say if you actually want a "mirror" of your drive, and the drives have the same size and geometry, use dd because it won't waste time analyzing the file system; it just copies straight -- this only makes sense if your volume is mostly full, however; if you're less than 75%, i dunno the best method | 21:03 |
| Poundo | is there an rpm or deb on it how do I find out | 21:03 |
| billiard_junkie | thanks Titan8990, I will look into how to do that | 21:03 |
| eseven73 | don't use RPM's | 21:03 |
| Poundo | ok what then | 21:03 |
| eseven73 | ppa or debs | 21:03 |
| eseven73 | !ppa | 21:03 |

| macrobad_ | noiz_ as for cs keyboard shortcuts, can't you just reset them to default? I recall there was such a setting. | 21:05 |
| rrplay | hackel: do you have another user acount avail or even temporarily create a temp user and try the flash player ? | 21:05 |

| noiz | macrobad_ no it is not that | 21:05 |
| Poundo | no uname says GNU/Linux | 21:05 |
| billiard_junkie | Titan8990: the thing that really bugs me is that I am connected right now using that card. First boot after install it works fine | 21:06 |
| billiard_junkie | lol | 21:06 |
| noiz | macrobad_ the mouse works fine, but i can not even WRite init | 21:06 |
| Titan8990 | billiard_junkie, odd, probably is in need of a blacklist though | 21:06 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ as for cs performance, if it is still bad, you can try disabling compiz effects. that should boost up all video games. | 21:06 |
| Titan8990 | Poundo, im guessing you didn't install this os? | 21:06 |
| billiard_junkie | alright, will try it out | 21:06 |
| noiz | an somone help me , i got a problem whit my keyboard on counter strike , it has worked JUST fine until today when i set some keyboard settings (shortcuts (only few) the keyboard works everywhere besides counter strike . i play counter strike whit wine.And i cannot even write in cs i cant open the console nor do anything whit the keyboard on cs, only whit the mouse | 21:06 |
| hackel | rrplay, I've tried this before, it doesn't make a difference, nor does disabling compiz. I've been working on this for ages. :) | 21:06 |
| Droopsta915 | I've installed the swf player and still, I cant play videos! I'm going to reinstall this. | 21:07 |
| noiz | macrobod_ to play cs i need my keyboard to work on cs :P ty for the suggestion i will do that :) | 21:07 |

| kristian_ | i got a clean install of ubuntu and i went to youtube.com with firefox, and i need to install flash. how can i do it in terminal? sudo apt-get install ??? | 21:07 |
| Titan8990 | Poundo, alright, so let me get this straight, you have an OS, but you don't know what it is | 21:07 |
| Titan8990 | Poundo, you want a program, but you don't know what package manager it uses | 21:07 |
| rrplay | hackel it could very well be that some of the flash player files in your /home dir are corupted period | 21:07 |
| Titan8990 | Poundo, are you being serious? | 21:07 |
| satansaunt | :) | 21:07 |

| Chill619 | Can someone help me out I can't get my fresh install to boot? running 8.10 and getting stuck on Starting bluetooth or if I run from the CD its a USB error and mouse and keyboard don't work | 21:08 |
| Titan8990 | Poundo, all linux is GNU/Linux.... | 21:08 |
| Titan8990 | Poundo, so now we have narrowed it down to around 100 distros | 21:08 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ np. Then I'll finish preparing for my presentation meanwhile. | 21:08 |
| noiz | macrobad_ is there a way i can reset all keyboard settings on linux? like the shortcuts and etc | 21:08 |
| hackel | rrplay, there is only one file, and I've just downloaded the latest version of it. | 21:08 |
| prince_jammys | AdamDV: i don't know that that is possible with motd, though it is with issue | 21:08 |
| Poundo | Well then i am being serious, the shell is bash thats about all I know | 21:08 |
| Titan8990 | Poundo, where did you get this computer? | 21:09 |
| SpEcLeDx2 | hello everyone I am having an issue with flash audio while using nxclient to connect to an LTSP 5 server, when I play any flash with audio I get this error on the command line...ALSA lib pcm_pulse.c:625:(pulse_prepare) PulseAudio: Unable to create stream: Invalid argument....Could not set hardware parameters | 21:09 |
| rrplay | hackel; but as with others and rewriting a new flash player and others have had the same problem from previous versions on the pc | 21:09 |
| macrobad_ | noiz_ I think you just did it for half of those with dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg. The other half is sitting somewhere in the gnome keyboard settings, and then several more keyboard shortcuts are served by compiz. | 21:09 |
| Jmz | Brb restarting and booting into xubuntu | 21:10 |
| Poundo | Tutian8990:It is an outfit that provides muntile hosting environments | 21:10 |
| hackel | rrplay, yeah, you have to make sure to delete the old library, restart firefox, and then put the new one in place, then it works fine. | 21:10 |
| Poundo | sorry Titian8990 | 21:10 |
| rrplay | hackel: the problem lies with the 'dot files' in ~/.fooXXetc | 21:10 |
| Titan8990 | Poundo, with the given information, the best I can do is recommend you manually compile the source code | 21:11 |
| porter1 | Anyone know where I can find more recent OGRE libs for ubuntu? | 21:11 |
| porter1 | In repos? | 21:11 |
| hackel | rrplay, Ah, right, that's just a cache though. Removing ~/.adobe has no effect. | 21:11 |
| Titan8990 | porter1, check the official ogre site to see if they have their own repo | 21:11 |
| satansaunt | how would i go about adding eac to the list of apps in wine??? | 21:12 |
| Titan8990 | satansaunt, gnome menu editor? | 21:12 |
| Poundo | Titan8990; thanks i figure it out package managers and unix are new to me obviously | 21:12 |
| jaymes0 | i'm having install issues on a machine with an intel ich9r controller, it seems to install grub on one of my bios raided disks, and not on the one i'm selecting to install the os on | 21:12 |

| noiz | macrobad_ nahh the keys dont work | 21:12 |
| noiz | macrobad_ it is just soo weird | 21:12 |
| Titan8990 | Poundo, which package manager are you using? | 21:12 |
| rrplay | hackel:~/.macromedia | 21:13 |
| satansaunt | you mean main menu editor- cos i tried that, first place i went | 21:13 |
| Titan8990 | Poundo, nvm, I thought you were saying you figured out the package manager.... | 21:13 |
| hackel | rrplay, Ah yes, I'm removing that too. I've set my flash preferences not to store anything locally. | 21:13 |
| satansaunt | then i tried to add via 'add application' option in wine | 21:13 |
| satansaunt | no luck | 21:13 |
| noiz | Can somone help me , i got a problem whit my keyboard on counter strike , it has worked JUST fine until today when i set some keyboard settings (shortcuts (only few) the keyboard works everywhere besides counter strike . i play counter strike whit wine.And i cannot even write in cs i cant open the console nor do anything whit the keyboard on cs, only whit the mouse | 21:13 |
| Titan8990 | satansaunt, you are just trying to get it to appear in the menu? | 21:13 |
| Poundo | Titan8990: Thats the question which package manager can i use on RPM shows up but some one said that was a bad idea | 21:13 |
| stabler | does anyone know of a good walkthrough on using google smtp for sendmail | 21:13 |
| satansaunt | yep | 21:14 |
| noiz | Is there a way to reset all your keyboard settings? | 21:14 |
| satansaunt | just for ease of access | 21:14 |
| Titan8990 | Poundo, its dependant on your distro | 21:14 |
| rrplay | brb | 21:14 |
| acu | I want to stop krdc - how can I do that - how can I know whether it is on at all ? | 21:14 |

| Titan8990 | Poundo, debian, ubuntu and derivitives use aptitude, suse and derivitives use yast, rhel and dervitives use yum, and gentoo, bsd and dervities use portage and pkg | 21:15 |
| Titan8990 | Poundo, ask the person that installed it | 21:15 |

| Titan8990 | Poundo, sometimes uname -r will do it, not always | 21:15 |
| noiz | titan8990 if i may ask | 21:16 |
| CUJO | that way you'll know if it's running | 21:16 |
| Titan8990 | noiz, you really can't unless they have thier own repos | 21:16 |

| macrobad_ | noiz: Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do ir currently. I've told you there are at least three places: xorg.conf (which we reset), System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts of GNOME, and then in CCSM General options->Key bindings. Go there and check the keybindings you want. | 21:16 |
| ninom | have a problem with finding wireless connections aroound me, any good program wireless network connections for ubuntu 8.10 with graphic interface | 21:16 |
| Titan8990 | noiz, http://www.winehq.org/download/deb | 21:16 |
| n8tuserf | ninom -> you should only access your own AP | 21:17 |
| ninom | wifi radar doesnt seem to work on my ubuntu | 21:17 |
| jief- | ninom: not completely GUI, but look into kismet | 21:17 |
| Titan8990 | ninom, iwlist wlan0 scanning | 21:17 |
| ninom | i cant find my own either | 21:17 |
| jief- | it has a nice ncurse interface | 21:17 |
| noiz | macrobad_ but i got the num things disabled and there is nothing else wrong there | 21:17 |
| ninom | if i want to find my own network i have to type the ssid | 21:17 |
| jief- | ninom: kismet scans the air for wifi access points | 21:18 |
| ninom | wifi radar doesnt work, kismet doesnt have graphic interface i believe | 21:18 |
| Titan8990 | ninom, sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning | 21:18 |
| macrobad_ | noiz, so is your problem about keyboard accelerators, or special media keys? | 21:18 |
| n8tuserf | ninom -> make sure your driver is working first, do you know what chip you have on your nic card? sudo lshw -C network | 21:18 |
| noiz | macrobad_ i dont have a idea :/ | 21:18 |

| noiz | macrobad_ NONE | 21:19 |
| noiz | macrobode_ even the console wont work | 21:19 |

| noiz | macrobod_ yes | 21:20 |
| noiz | macrobod_ but it is not cs's fault | 21:20 |
| noiz | macrobod_ but wait ima tell what happened few minutes ago | 21:20 |

| dadda | I followed this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=713874 and now I can access the internet with my machines on my local lan but they can't ping the gateway nor each other it seems? | 21:21 |
| noiz | macrobod_ i went on cs and i used my mouse to navigate myself to new game , and then when you are already in the game you need keyboard to get out so is tarted cliking random keys as i dont know how you close a windows whit linux, and then it started lagging and i saw my "applications" on top of cs so i moved my mouse, while i was moving my mouse i was moving in cs | 21:22 |
| dadda | My gateway can't reach the local area network but it can give them internet access | 21:22 |
| noiz | macrobod_ but yes no other key besides mouse keys work in cs for some reason | 21:22 |

| Milkeh | what were the parameters in rm to remove a directory | 21:24 |
| noiz | macrobad_ noone never had this problem before :/ | 21:24 |
| Titan8990 | jaymes0, but the installer won't install on drives that you don't tell it to | 21:24 |
| prince_jammys | Milkeh: -r ,or you can use the rmdir command if it's empty | 21:24 |
| rrplay | hackel, by the way firefox was NOT running when you reinstalled any of this right ?? | 21:24 |
| jaymes0 | Titan8990: I just tried an install, and it put grub on a different disk than the os was installed to | 21:24 |
| macrobad_ | noiz: No idea. I suppose it must be a problem of messed up wine configs then. | 21:24 |
| jaymes0 | and 'broke' a raid 0 | 21:24 |
| noiz | macrobad_ for some reason i think that too | 21:25 |
| Milkeh | prince_jammys, thank you | 21:25 |
| hackel | rrplay, No. I don't think flash or firefox uses the locate database for anything. | 21:25 |
| Titan8990 | jaymes0, are you aware that raid0 is slower and less fault tolerent then two single disks? | 21:25 |
| noiz | macrobad_ as the problem started after i added a keyboard layout | 21:25 |
| noiz | macrobad_ and maby that messed wine up | 21:25 |
| macrobad_ | noiz: In this case the most reasonable way is to reset wine to default settings with dpkg-reconfigure -phigh, but then you'll have to reinstall CS. | 21:25 |
| noiz | macrobad_ so u advise me to reinstall wine and cs? | 21:25 |
| Milkeh | how come my icons have gone big all of a sudden? | 21:25 |
| noiz | macrobad_ oh ok shure ty | 21:25 |
| rrplay | hackel, what I asked you was if firefox was NOT running at the time you reinstalled | 21:25 |
| Milkeh | in my drop down menus | 21:25 |
| jaymes0 | it's just a fakeraid thing on an ich9 controller, and yes im aware about the tollerence and marginal speed differences :) | 21:26 |
| macrobad_ | noiz No problem. Hope, it works finally! | 21:26 |
| hackel | rrplay, yes, that was my first answer. | 21:26 |
| noiz | macrobad_ wait tell me the exact command how to reconfigure wine? | 21:26 |
| Titan8990 | jaymes0, anyways, does the installer recognize your raid0 or is it displaying both disks seperatly? softraid, fakeraid, or hardraid? | 21:26 |
| jaymes0 | its displaying the raid0 disks seperately | 21:26 |
| tisker | Hello, all! | 21:26 |
| jaymes0 | and im installing on a different, non raided disk that is connected to the same ich9 controller | 21:26 |

| Nytrix | what do i type in terminal to install GTK+ themes engine? | 21:27 |
| Titan8990 | jaymes0, I would just manually install grub then | 21:27 |
| Titan8990 | !grub | jaymes0 | 21:27 |
| ubottu | jaymes0: 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 | 21:27 |
| Droopsta915 | Is there a way to get my machine working to an earlier date? Kinda like a restore point. | 21:27 |
| Titan8990 | jaymes0, that is, if thats all that its missing | 21:27 |
| Nytrix | what do i type in terminal to install GTK+ theme engine? | 21:27 |
| jaymes0 | can i stop grub from being installed on the desktop installer? | 21:27 |
| Titan8990 | jaymes0, no | 21:27 |
| Titan8990 | jaymes0, not even on the alternate installer | 21:27 |
| jaymes0 | it's missing yes, but my issue is that it installs on a different (and raided...) disk, breaking it | 21:28 |
| macrobad_ | noiz The command is dpkg-reconfigure, and it has to be run as root, i.e. with sudo. One argument is '-phigh', which means to do everything automatically and don't ask questions, and the other is the name of the package you want to reconfigure. Putting it together, 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh wine' | 21:28 |
| fiftyone | I stated to install KDE yesterday from apt-get but my internet connection died half way in. now when I try and install again it says all of the packaages are missing and cant download | 21:28 |

| Titan8990 | jaymes0, alright, but you already installed everything but grub on the intended disk, correct? | 21:28 |
| jaymes0 | yeah | 21:28 |
| rrplay | Hacke: did you download a deb file or a tarball | 21:29 |
| Titan8990 | jaymes0, alright, so install grub, in the future, unplug your raided drives during installation | 21:29 |
| noiz | macrobad_ lol i actually did not ask for the explanation of the code but just for the exact code >D | 21:29 |

| Gnea | !anyone | 21:38 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 21:38 |
| mustangg | Nytrix: I' ve already gone over the man, a few faq's and some personal websites with " tutorials". I still can' t get tell :) hence my question in the chan. | 21:38 |
| fosco_ | Nytrix: the one you want to install | 21:38 |
| bohemian_ | bohemian_: anyone? | 21:38 |
| illumin8 | !ask | 21:38 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:38 |
| kitty_ | :) 'k | 21:38 |
| fosco_ | Nytrix: example, for ubuntulooks engine: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks | 21:38 |
| kitty_ | does anybody know how to get sound back on Ubuntu. I have no sound whatsoever | 21:39 |
| rrplay | Nytrix look here http://twodayslate.wordpress.com/2008/01/06/installing-a-new-gtk-engine-in-ubuntu/ | 21:39 |
| Gnea | !sound | kitty_ | 21:39 |
| ubottu | kitty_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 21:39 |
| kitty_ | I did some upgrades and my sound is gone | 21:39 |
| kitty_ | TY :) | 21:39 |
| Nytrix | fosco_, i try to install a theme and it tells me i need "GTK+ theme engine" but doesnt tell me exactly the one i need to install | 21:40 |
| mustangg | forget that "still can' t get tell" which made no sense. I only meant that the info is incomplete (in regards to my experience) for answering my question | 21:41 |
| rrplay | Nytrix, are you installing Aurora Gtk Engine ?? | 21:42 |
| Nytrix | i try to install a theme and it tells me i need "GTK+ theme engine" but doesnt tell me exactly the one i need to install | 21:42 |
| Nytrix | rrplay, i guess i will try and see if that works with the theme | 21:43 |
| rrplay | Nytrix, :: did you look here http://twodayslate.wordpress.com/2008/01/06/installing-a-new-gtk-engine-in-ubuntu/ | 21:43 |
| Nytrix | yeah im looking now | 21:43 |
| bernz | Nytrix, you *might* have some luck with 'aptitude'; i could be wrong, but i think it has a good ability to find dependencies and automagically add them to your "shopping cart" for installation | 21:43 |
| rrplay | Nytrix, this is probably what you want | 21:44 |
| === adam is now known as Guest54361 | ||
| Jezster | does anyone have a recommendation for the linux distro on a machine like the MSI wind? | 21:44 |
| Guest54361 | how exactly do you instal a tarball in terminal | 21:44 |
| Jezster | I'm currently playing with Ubuntu based Crunchbang . | 21:44 |
| bernz | Nytrix, (in which case, you can probably select the "main" thing you need -- gtk+ theme engine -- and it'll select everything else you need for htat) | 21:44 |
| mustangg | guess I'm looking for the voice of experience; for an rsync backup can I grab the first+last directories it made and have a "whole" backup? or must I keep all increments in between as well.. | 21:44 |
| Titan8990 | !compile | Guest54361 | 21:44 |
| ubottu | Guest54361: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 21:44 |
| Titan8990 | Guest54361, its not recommended.... | 21:44 |
| Slart | Jezster: as for all small, "weak" computers that run on battery.. something light.. xubuntu, slimmed down ubuntu/kubuntu or DSL or siilar | 21:44 |
| enhazed | Hello. Could someone please (try to) help me set up internet connection sharing via wlan from ubuntu to XP? Thank you.. (couldn't find any working tutorial for this online so i ended up here) :) | 21:45 |
| Titan8990 | enhazed, its called ip masquerading and it is a very advanced networking topic.... | 21:45 |
| Guest54361 | let me try it | 21:45 |
| Slart | mustangg: why not try it.. create a folder, run some backups, change some stuff.. see if you can restore it | 21:45 |
| Jezster | slimmed down ubuntu ... hmm... so apt-get remove stuff or is there a minimalist version? | 21:45 |
| Slart | mustangg: it doesn't look like anyone here can answer your question.. you could perhaps tell us how it works | 21:46 |
| enhazed | Titan8990: is there no program that might do this? I saw something involving Firestarter, but for some reason it doesn't work for me... (says it can't access wlan0) | 21:46 |
| Slart | Jezster: well.. there is a minimal version.. you could start from that and add only what you need.. but I think keeping the stuff running at a minimun is more important than just not having stuff installed | 21:46 |
| Titan8990 | enhazed, firestarter is a dead project... you should use ufw or edit iptables directly | 21:47 |
| Guest54361 | ok im pritty new to linux and im running xubuntu | 21:47 |
| Slart | !ics | 21:47 |
| ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 21:47 |
| Titan8990 | Guest54361, and why the need to compile something from source? | 21:47 |
| Guest54361 | i could really use the actual command to instal a tarball thats not in package manager | 21:47 |
| Jezster | Slart: thanks - have you got a pointer to the cutdown version of ubuntu ... | 21:47 |
| Jezster | any help would be great | 21:48 |
| Titan8990 | Guest54361, it doesn't work like that.... | 21:48 |
| Slart | enhazed: for a standard setup it's something like 3 iptables commands.. I'm not sure if wlan is going to make it any different though | 21:48 |
| Slart | !minimal | Jezster | 21:48 |
| ubottu | Jezster: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 21:48 |
| Titan8990 | Guest54361, you need to view the documentation that came with the code | 21:48 |
| Jezster | thanks all :) | 21:48 |
| Slart | Jezster: also you could google for "tweak ubuntu".. there are good advice out there.. (along with some not so good) | 21:49 |
| Titan8990 | Guest54361, what is that you are trying to compile? | 21:49 |
| Guest54361 | ok ok well i just wanna run a few benchmarks anyone know a program i can instal with the pakage manager | 21:49 |
| Huufarted | Guest54361, is it .bz2 or .gz? | 21:49 |
| Slart | Jezster: try "powertop" too.. it might give you a few minutes extra from your battery | 21:49 |
| Titan8990 | Guest54361, just search synaptic for "benchmark" | 21:49 |
| Guest54361 | ok 1 min | 21:49 |
| enhazed | Slart: where can i find those three commands? :) | 21:49 |
| mustangg | Slart: I wish I knew what could help, but that's why I'm here. I basically created an incremental rsync backup using flyback. And now I'm just trying to recover from *something*(?!), which killed my fakeraid+lvm and partitions and a few other complaints from both the hardware and linux utils.. | 21:49 |
| Huufarted | Hey, Titan8990 got a question for you on that note sorta related. What's the difference between Add/Remove and Synaptic? | 21:50 |
| Jezster | thanks - I have just ordered a 6cell battery for my advent4211 ... should last about 4-5 hours :) | 21:50 |
| fearful | Huufarted, nothing | 21:50 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, not sure, I always use apt-get and apt-cache | 21:50 |
| Slart | enhazed: I usually just google for "ip masquerading iptables" or something like that.. it's the same for most linux distros so it doesn't have to be ubuntu specific | 21:50 |
| fearful | Huufarted, there both from aptitude | 21:50 |
| Titan8990 | Huufarted, I don't really use GUIs | 21:50 |
| fearful | Huufarted, just add/remove is more basic than Synaptic you have more options to view dependencies and all the rest on synaptic unlike Add/Remove where its just the program itself. | 21:51 |
| Huufarted | Titan8990, I'd like to use the command line version as well, but I'm fairly new to repositories in general and the GUI provides a real easy way for me to search | 21:51 |
| Slart | enhazed: here's some good reading material... perhaps a bit more than necessary but knowledge is always good, right? =) | 21:51 |
| Slart | enhazed: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ | 21:51 |
| Huufarted | fearful, thanks that makes a lot more sense. That's kinda what I thought it was. | 21:51 |
| Guest54361 | ugh titan can you suggest a all around benchmark? | 21:52 |
| Huufarted | Guest54361, benchmark for what? | 21:52 |
| fearful | Huufarted, you can use search with command line too, apt-cache search <name> (and wildcards can be used) | 21:52 |
| Slart | mustangg: oh.. I thought you were trying to setup some kind of backup system | 21:52 |
| Huufarted | awesome, fearful. :) I like that. | 21:52 |
| Guest54361 | just an all in one sorta benchmark | 21:52 |
| Slart | mustangg: I don't really know much about rsync.. I've tried using it once or twice but it never agreed with me | 21:53 |
| Titan8990 | Guest54361, time.... | 21:53 |
| enhazed | allright, i will read up on that and try to do it myself, if it doesn't work i'll be back for help. thank you very much :) | 21:53 |
| Titan8990 | Guest54361, using this syntax: time COMMAND | 21:53 |
| Titan8990 | Guest54361, will display the length of time that it took to run the given command | 21:53 |
| mustangg | Slart: I was originally and did sorta using suggestions from the chan which is how ended up with flyback. It's just a gui really for rsync. | 21:53 |
| Slart | enhazed: do that..you have to .. setup ip masquerading.. enable ip forwarding.. setup NAT | 21:54 |
| Guest54361 | titan do you know a good all in one kinda benchmark program | 21:54 |
| Titan8990 | Guest54361, no | 21:54 |
| Huufarted | Guest54361, for instance if you wanted to benchmark the 'rm' command, you could type 'time rm -rf /*' | 21:54 |
| Titan8990 | Guest54361, search synaptic | 21:54 |
| enhazed | ok :) | 21:54 |
| Huufarted | guest54 but I wouldn't recommend it | 21:54 |
| Slart | enhazed: you might want to start a dhcp server too.. but it isn't really necessary for just one or two computers | 21:54 |
| bernz | mustangg, i haven't looked closely at rsync yet, but it's highly likely to require all the "intermediate" files because a delta scheme is very typically done that way | 21:54 |
| Slart | enhazed: you can skip the parts about compiling kernels and such.. all that stuff is already done for you | 21:54 |
| nickrud | Huufarted, that's straying really near the edge of malicious advice ... | 21:55 |
| Huufarted | nickrud, true that. Should have made it more abundantly clear it was in jest. | 21:55 |
| Synny | guys | 21:56 |
| KenBW2 | is there a command to open a new image in gimp without having to go to File > New? | 21:56 |
| mustangg | bernz: fair enough. any idea on data integrity? ie: is there any mechanism i place to maintain it? I' ve had to recover these off a corrupted ntfs partition.. | 21:56 |
| Synny | how do i start compiz | 21:56 |
| Synny | i installed the packages | 21:56 |
| mishu | Hi ... I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid on a Toshiba L300 notebook ... My wireless signal was very bad, so i tried to install the windows drivers with ndiswrapper ... it didn't work any better, it was actually connecting worse ... now i removed them, but i can't seem to get the original generic ubuntu driver to get auto re installed .. | 21:56 |
| Synny | etc | 21:56 |
| Slart | KenBW2: ctrl+N ? | 21:56 |
| nickrud | Huufarted, a lot of people here don't use english as a first language, and nearly all jests are obscure. Jesting with dangerous commands will cause serious issues for you ;) | 21:56 |
| mishu | So how do i get the wireless card to work on the ubuntu generic dirver ? | 21:56 |
| Slart | KenBW2: at least that what it says in the menu | 21:56 |
| Synny | How do i run compiz | 21:56 |
| Synny | ffffffffffffffu | 21:56 |
| KenBW2 | Slart: i mean one i can add to a launcher | 21:56 |
| Synny | How do i run compiz | 21:56 |
| Titan8990 | mishu, there isn't a generic wireless driver | 21:56 |

| Titan8990 | !ask | AckerMANn-Sabin | 21:57 |
| Synny | ? | 21:57 |
| bernz | mustangg, hmm... nothing i've read so far suggests there are error recovery mechanisms :-( but that does't mean there aren't necessarily, just that i don't know of 'em | 21:57 |
| Synny | How do i run compiz | 21:57 |
| guntbert | !repeat | Synny | 21:57 |
| ubottu | Synny: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 21:57 |

| Huufarted | mishu, k. I can't help you with that one, sorry. | 21:58 |
| mishu | k, thx | 21:58 |
| Huufarted | synny, have you bothered checking the menus for Compiz? | 21:58 |
| bernz | mustangg, i suspect you'll have to read the rsync docs semi-deeply to discover whether there's some way of saving your data | 21:58 |
| Huufarted | nevermind, Synny left. | 21:58 |
| Slart | KenBW2: there seems to be a -b switch for adding batch commands.. sounds useful | 21:58 |
| n8tuser | mishu -> do you remember which driver it was? | 21:58 |
| bernz | mustangg, i *do* think that rsync can use different methods (other than standard "delta" histories), and they might offer better redundancy | 21:59 |

| protodog | hi i need help changing the 'Download From' source URL, because I'm trying to upgrade Feisty Fawn to 7.10 | 22:03 |

| AckerMANn-Sabin | I need help with ffmpeg on my linux machine. | 22:06 |
| AckerMANn-Sabin | who can help me ? | 22:06 |
| Slart | protodog: there is a repository for out of date releases.. I think it's something like old-releases.ubuntu.com but I'm not sure | 22:06 |
| protodog | Slart: hi thanks. i'm using the out of date releases repo, but in the update manager the "Download From" URL keeps overwriting prerequeists-sources.list | 22:07 |
| Slart | AckerMANn-Sabin: just ask your question.. if someone knows they will answer | 22:07 |
| protodog | Slart: which keeps using the us.archive.ubuntu.com URL | 22:07 |
| AckerMANn-Sabin | I have problem with my ffmpeg from my ubuntu machine. | 22:07 |
| Slart | protodog: oh... that's annoying | 22:08 |
| protodog | Slart: is there a way for me to override that to use the backports URL? | 22:08 |
| Slart | protodog: you could edit the sources.list file directly.. and not run the software sources thingy | 22:08 |
| Slart | AckerMANn-Sabin: that's not a question.. not even close | 22:09 |
| Slart | !details | AckerMANn-Sabin | 22:09 |
| ubottu | AckerMANn-Sabin: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 22:09 |
| protodog | Slart: if i do a apt-get update; apt-get upgrade, it still runs the sources.list-d/prerequisits-sources.list file... | 22:09 |
| n8tuser | protodog -> wouldnt you just run apt-get update to get the updated list? | 22:09 |
| protodog | n8tuser: apt-get update works fine, but when you go to dist-upgrade it somehow fetches the "prequisites-sources.list" URL | 22:09 |

| ubottu | AckerMANn-Sabin: Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro | 22:10 |
| n8tuser | protodog -> where is that coming from? prequisites-sources.list ? | 22:10 |
| protodog | n8tuser: actually sorry. apt-get update INCLUDES prerequisites-sources.list | 22:10 |

| durt | hey folks, how do I find out what's using a module when it's not listed in lsmod. | 22:11 |
| protodog | n8tuser: i think it only puts it in if you're doing a dist-upgrade...also i'm using feisty fawn so that might have something to do with it | 22:12 |

| chronic | guys i downloaded a movie and can't play it , it's a avi, player just crashes | 22:12 |
| _VIM_ | chronic: do you have all the codecs? And what player and what version of ubuntu? | 22:13 |
| protodog | n8tuser: yeah i'm trying to upgrade to 7.10 but i want to specify an alternate URL. i know it's using the URL from 'Download From' in Update Manager, cuz if i change that URL, prerequisites-sources.list will change to that URL as well | 22:13 |
| n8tuser | protodog -> whynot do a fresh install instead? upgrade seems to be problematic | 22:14 |
| FreshPrince | good night | 22:14 |
| protodog | n8tuser: well i feel i'm so close! if i can just find out where it's stuffing that URL, and override it, i'd rather do that | 22:15 |
| chronic | _VIM_, player is totem. i think i have codecs, how do i check? | 22:15 |
| erUSUL | chronic: try another player vlc is popular | 22:15 |
| _VIM_ | chronic: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras or added medibuntu's repos, or gstreamer stuff? If not, you prolly are missing the codecs | 22:16 |
| _VIM_ | !codecs | chronic | 22:16 |
| ubottu | chronic: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 22:16 |
| chronic | i'll check | 22:16 |
| _VIM_ | chronic: I think dpkg -l gstream* might list the gstream ones, if you have them... | 22:17 |
| _VIM_ | yep that 'dpkg -l gstream* will show you if those are installed or not chronic i just checked on mine :) | 22:18 |
| chronic | nope dont have restricted extras installed | 22:18 |

| R3N0V4D0 | hello | 22:24 |
| Sjimmie | DVA5912: that must be because of permissions, check which group is the owner of that /var/www directory and subdirs and put your webmaster user in that group aswell | 22:24 |
| n8tuser | DVA5912 -> whats the entry for your webmaster looks like on /etc/passwd ? | 22:25 |

| unko | how do i get to that? | 23:13 |
| eepberries | unko: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 23:14 |
| Jordan_U | Crooper, You could send the site ( especially if it's static ) to someone who does have a publicly accessible server, or the customer ( though I am guessing they wouldn't know what to do with it ) | 23:14 |
| unko | eepberries, thank you | 23:15 |
| Crooper | hph_guy, try loading the right driver in xorg | 23:15 |
| pabloarroyo06 | hello | 23:15 |
| eepberries | Crooper: well, it will be impossible for other people to access your web server | 23:15 |
| eepberries | your best bet is to pay for hosting | 23:15 |
| pabloarroyo06 | hello people | 23:15 |
| unko | eepberries, so this way i can test resolutions??? | 23:15 |
| eepberries | unko: that will let you change your resolution | 23:15 |
| eepberries | and i think it will also add that mode to the gui too | 23:16 |
| unko | eepberries, thank you | 23:16 |
| eepberries | at least it did for me | 23:16 |
| unko | eepberries, no wait...THANK YOU VERY MUCH | 23:16 |
| eepberries | unko: did it work? | 23:16 |
| unko | eepberries, kinda... im at max res it say buy one day my drivers got updated and i could use the res 1600xX and i updated again and now i can't | 23:17 |
| Crooper | Jordan_U, i have a server set up at my mom's but didn't want to develop, transfer, develop, transfer...etc. | 23:17 |
| eepberries | unko: did you try changing it through the command line? | 23:17 |
| eepberries | like described in that article | 23:17 |
| unko | eepberries, ha i just saw that im doing that now... whats the res 1600 by what.. | 23:17 |
| nEtZaRiM | Whats good with everyone | 23:17 |
| Jordan_U | Crooper, You could foreward traffic from your mom' | 23:18 |
| === jgoguen is now known as jgoguen|class | ||
| Crooper | Jordan_U, it's already forwarded | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | Crooper, ... From your mom's server to yours over ssh ( a session initiated on your end ) but it would probably not be worth the trouble | 23:19 |
| carlFK_lt | Crooper: the develop/transfer/test/rinse/repeate loop is good to get into before the customer gets involved | 23:19 |
| Crooper | just tried to skip a couple of steps in the development and proofing process | 23:19 |
| unko | eepberries, can i PM you | 23:19 |
| eepberries | unko: sure | 23:19 |
| unko | eepberries, ty | 23:20 |
| Crooper | Jordan_U, thnx but that is already set up | 23:20 |
| Jordan_U | Crooper, If that is already setup then why can't the customer access your server through the one at your mom's ? | 23:21 |
| Crooper | CarlFK, you're right but alot of these customers don't get involved except for the "OK" and payment | 23:21 |
| nEtZaRiM | Any here using ArtistX | 23:22 |
| Crooper | Jordan_U, I was trying to shorten the process for the customer | 23:22 |
| nEtZaRiM | Just so folks know this ArtistX Distro is AMAZING | 23:24 |
| nEtZaRiM | Runs smooth on the older Gateway Desktop | 23:24 |
| Jordan_U | Crooper, I am not sure that you understand what I mean, ssh has some fancy tricks and you can foreward packets from port 80 on the server at your mom's over an ssh tunnel to your machine, even without having a publicly accessible ip on your machine. | 23:24 |
| Slart | nEtZaRiM: do you have a question about ubuntu? if not there is an offtopic channel | 23:24 |
| Slart | !ot | nEtZaRiM | 23:24 |
| ubottu | nEtZaRiM: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 23:24 |
| mobodo | are there other ways to change the mtab other than the fstab file? | 23:24 |

| tangentcollision | http://pastebin.ca/1347290 | 23:25 |
| tangentcollision | I need help there | 23:25 |
| Crooper | oh... ok. No i didn't understand you... I will check into that. I was just reading about port forwarding with ssh... thnx Jordan_U | 23:25 |
| Slart | nEtZaRiM: there are many other distros.. but this channel if for ubuntu support only | 23:25 |
| Jordan_U | Crooper, np | 23:26 |
| nEtZaRiM | Thats what I'm saying I didn't realize it was "Forbidden" to speak about other distros here | 23:26 |
| nEtZaRiM | I apologize | 23:26 |

| shlork | i got some psycho error with aircrack-ng | 23:28 |
| shlork | when trying to make it | 23:28 |
| CentHOGG | Hi, how do you rename the mounts that appear on the desktop? The names are ok it's just that I don't need to see that xtra info on how big the partition size is. Thx | 23:28 |
| Hfuy | I'm looking for a tool to mount ISO images as virtual devices, as in Daemon Tools for windows. | 23:28 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| shlork | might i get some help? | 23:28 |
| Hfuy | I assume there's a way to do this under ubuntu? | 23:28 |
| Slart | shlork: don't use enter instead of punctuation.. it gets very hard to read | 23:28 |
| Slart | !ask | shlork | 23:29 |
| ubottu | shlork: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:29 |
| Slart | !mountiso | Hfuy | 23:29 |
| ubottu | Hfuy: 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. | 23:29 |
| drbobb | Hfuy: mount -o loop IIRC | 23:29 |
| shlork | alright, fair enough | 23:29 |
| Slart | shlork: there's no guarantee you'll get an answer.. but your chances will improve by actually asking a question instead of just asking for help | 23:30 |
| shlork | Ok, so i got some crazy error when doing making the .deb for aircrack ng, it says that it's missing a bunch of folders, and i really havent mucked around with anything in the directory | 23:30 |
| NeoTubNinja | how can I install something from a third party through aptitude from the command line? do I have to first put the src in /etc/apt/sources.list? | 23:30 |

| WaltzingAlong | Hfuy: there are | 23:30 |
| Slart | NeoTubNinja: yes, afaik | 23:30 |
| Hfuy | I'll try the mount -o loop thing. | 23:30 |
| shlork | should i just throw the entire error in a pastebin and give the link? | 23:31 |
| McShane | NeoTubNinja, many third-party repositories have instructions for adding their repos | 23:31 |
| dredhammer | can someone give me the link to the wiki on installing the nvidia drivers manually | 23:31 |
| Slart | shlork: you might want to include the verbatim error message.. if it's more than one line I recommend a pastebin.. !pastebin for more info | 23:31 |
| zooko | Argh. I just upgraded my box to jaunty, and it has somehow screwed up my grub menu. It gives a prompt saying "grub press escape in the next X seconds to see the menu", and then X counts down from 2. | 23:31 |
| Slart | shlork: that what most people do, yes | 23:31 |
| NeoTubNinja | this one has instructions through the synaptic package manager, but I prefer the command line | 23:31 |
| shlork | alright, just wanted to make sure | 23:31 |
| Slart | !jaunty | zooko | 23:31 |
