| mrwes | rapha, did you use IPP ? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| grandrew | rww: hm. will do both | 00:00 |
| Akuma | hmw: it pings 127.0.0.1 | 00:00 |
| Xamusk | Bsims, 45 C on both processors | 00:00 |
| Akuma | I also just installed linux-backports-modules-generic, and my wireless works as well | 00:00 |
| Xamusk | hmw, I've looked at the logs and seen no pattern | 00:00 |
| hmw | Akuma - type "ifconfig" to find the IP address of your network card. Can you ping it? | 00:00 |
| Akuma | however I still can't do anything with eth0 | 00:00 |
| trksh22 | rww: I want to say THANK YOU!!!!!!! It worked! I forgot my username so I had to restart my whole computer. I wonder if Open Office had anything to do with it? | 00:00 |
| Akuma | I can ping my own IP | 00:00 |
| Akuma | being 192.168.99.103 | 00:01 |
| evride | like i was saying, earlier today I someone got onto the actual root account in ubuntu after installing the very latest Nvidia driver (i quit out of X Windows server), it said my username was root and i could do whatever i wanted without typing in my password, since then i've been haviing to change ownership of files and many other settings to make my user account control files, settings and folders | 00:01 |
| mrwes | rapha, did you allow sharing of the printer on the other computer? | 00:01 |
| mrwes | damn | 00:01 |
| Bsims | Xamusk: Hrm not over heating then | 00:01 |
| Xamusk | and it would be pretty hard to keep a terminal running always because that thing is pretty random | 00:01 |
| Brucey | can anyone help me please? i want to see a file that was recently put in there, however i see 3 copies of it in 3 directories, with the same name, i want to see the latest one, anyway i can see the date of the file was made? | 00:01 |
| hmw | Xamusk - I meant, let them run, so that you always can see, what is written to the logs. With time you might find a pattern, by remembering, what was called/done just right before the next crash. | 00:01 |

| Akuma | when I boot the other one, it works fine | 00:09 |
| Nytrix | :-) | 00:09 |
| rww | SJr|Work: Download unetbootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/) and either use its built in list of ISOs or download the alternative ISO and specify it in the program | 00:09 |
| hmw | Akuma - aah you changed the kernel!? Did it come with the updates or did you create a new kernel? | 00:09 |

| Daft_Punk | flame, use one line for your question so its easy to read | 00:10 |
| evride | besides that | 00:10 |
| evride | k | 00:10 |
| Akuma | that said, it works normally when I am on 8.10 with 2.6.24 | 00:10 |
| usser | UncleD, umask is reverse of the permissions so if you need 755 umask has to be 022 | 00:10 |
| flame | sorry Daft_Punk | 00:10 |
| Nytrix | evride, someone else might be able to help u | 00:10 |
| flame | you know a solution ? | 00:11 |

| flame | I can do that from GUI but I use CLI now and I don't know how | 00:11 |
| flame | any ideas ? | 00:11 |
| Daft_Punk | no sorry flame i dont know a solution for your particular issue, just keep asking your question every couple minutes, all on one line and hopefully someone that knows the answer will respond | 00:12 |
| hmw | Akuma - I see. For your pitty, I never upgraded successfully. I would guess, that the Network Manager has some headache now. Please ask someone else or try google with keywords like "upgrade ubuntu network problem" or similar. | 00:12 |
| flame | thx Daft_Punk | 00:12 |
| Akuma | ok | 00:12 |
| evride | rww: it was - sudo startx | 00:12 |

| zash | sudo startx? | 00:12 |
| zash | why sudo | 00:12 |

| UncleD | usser: thanks all is perfect now :) | 00:12 |
| rww | evride: there's your problem. You shouldn't have used sudo | 00:12 |

| Daft_Punk | evride you should never run ubuntu as root... | 00:13 |
| rww | evride: sudo runs commands as root. running sudo startx... runs startx... as root | 00:13 |
| Nytrix | Dextl, what wrong with it? | 00:13 |
| evride | i mean one line* | 00:13 |
| evride | i didnt mean to daft punk | 00:13 |
| usser | UncleD, no problem, if you want the files in the dir to be owned by a certain group google for gsuid | 00:13 |
| Dextl | it just stops working when I alttab or switch workspaces | 00:13 |
| evride | rww:but why would it change all my rights and permissions and stuff | 00:13 |
| Daft_Punk | evride ubuntu is open source, meaning you can break it easily, especially if you run as root and delete some system files accidentally, that is why you should never run as root | 00:13 |
| evride | didnt mean to daft, lol | 00:14 |
| hmw | rww evride - it is strongly advised, not to run x as root. You can run certain programs with gksudo (think of nautilus). | 00:14 |
| evride | sorry | 00:14 |
| rww | evride: Because sudo startx makes Xorg and GNOME run as a root user, but doesn't change your environment variables, so they still use your home directlry and stomp all over it. | 00:14 |
| slerder | Hi everyone. Im having a bit of a problem. Ever since today when I have my vlc window maximized i cannot see the top menu bar (organe) with the quit, maximize and minimize buttons. What could be causing this? Thanks. | 00:15 |
| evride | so i should chown my home directory? | 00:15 |
| rww | evride: try sudo chown -R evride:evride /home/evride (replacing evride with your username). | 00:15 |
| evride | and make all sub folders mine? | 00:15 |
| rww | evride: yes | 00:15 |
| evride | k | 00:15 |
| Daft_Punk | evride, since you ran your account as root (not the root account) it re-wrote permissions for all your files and messed them all up. the best thing to do at this point is backup any important data you have and reinstall ubuntu from the livecd | 00:15 |
| rww | evride: get out of that root xorg session first, if you haven't already | 00:15 |
| caveman26 | How do I find out what video driver im using, and how do I configure it in 8.10? xorg.conf is practically blank... | 00:15 |
| Daft_Punk | evride, unless you want to preserve your system you have to do some chmods | 00:15 |
| slerder | Hi everyone. Im having a bit of a problem. Ever since today when I have my vlc window maximized i cannot see the top menu bar (organe) with the quit, maximize and minimize buttons. What could be causing this? Thanks. | 00:16 |
| evride | im already out rww | 00:16 |
| rww | Daft_Punk: chowns, actually, and we already gave him the command | 00:16 |
| Daft_Punk | rww, yeah sorry | 00:16 |
| rww | evride: okay, then just run that sudo chown -R thing and it should fix things | 00:16 |
| evride | aw thanks dudez, it works | 00:16 |
| rww | caveman26: there's an Xorg log in /var/log/. It'll say somewhere in there. xorg.conf is practically blank because xorg autodetects most of its settings now. | 00:17 |
| caveman26 | ok | 00:17 |
| hmw | slerder: only VLC does that? Maybe it still has all the window gadget, but they are simply out ouf the screen? Hold ALT and try dragging the window, by clicking at some unused space right in the middle. | 00:17 |
| caveman26 | how do I manually change them? | 00:17 |
| DEA7H | if i ask a question about 8.04 am i likely to get a response as i know 8.10 is out now? | 00:17 |
| rww | evride: You're welcome. In the future, "startx" or "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" would be better than "sudo startx" ;) | 00:17 |
| rww | DEA7H: 8.04 is still supported, yes | 00:17 |
| evride | ya, i'll keep that in mind | 00:17 |
| rww | caveman26: change the driver? Add the required command to xorg.conf. Settings that are put in there override the autodetection. | 00:18 |
| caveman26 | ok.. so I can still use the xorg.conf.... thats good | 00:18 |
| hmw | evride: if you like being root, you might want to look the the -i switch of sudo. | 00:18 |
| caveman26 | TY | 00:18 |
| rww | caveman26: you'd put a ``Driver "drivername"`` line in the Device section, specifically | 00:18 |

| LjL | bonez451: err, while both machines (or at the very least, the target machine) are booted from a live cd, right? | 00:22 |
| usser | bonez451, but you'll have to use livecd for dd since it copies entire partition/harddrive | 00:22 |
| ziggles | damn dd over the network... that is Awesome | 00:23 |
| hmw | slerder - did you log out and in again already? | 00:23 |

| hmw | azlon - should be /media | 00:24 |
| LjL | bonez451: dd, as they mentioned, is an option. they didn't mention *how* you'd use it over a network - you can do that by piping it to "netcat" | 00:24 |
| slerder | hmw, i found (googled, damn gotta love google) i used the command "metacity –replace". article here.. nice little read/tip metacity –replace | 00:24 |
| Sylphid | ziggles, define cheap | 00:24 |
| rww | azlon: probably the first. It could also be /media/disk/ or something similar. | 00:24 |
| usser | ziggles, sidewalk :) | 00:24 |
| Huufarted | azlon, normally yes but it should be located in /media | 00:24 |
| nellmathew | install, i put it in an external cd.. how would i do the same with livecd? | 00:24 |
| LjL | bonez451: scp is certainly another option, though | 00:24 |
| slerder | hmw thanks anyway ;) that might just help you out in the future ;) | 00:25 |
| ziggles | Sylphid, less than $500 and AWESOME :) | 00:25 |
| bonez451 | I am comfy with scp.. have used it often.. | 00:25 |
| bonez451 | ok.. | 00:25 |
| ziggles | usser, lol... mine feels like it belongs on a sidewalk | 00:25 |
| Scunizi | kabukan: are you trying to install and once you get past the first screen on the live cd then .. nothing? | 00:25 |
| hmw | slerder - same as relogging. should remember that - how was the command to type? you can also install fusion-icon - lets you do it with the mouse, and you can switch off compiz temporarily without messing up its settings. | 00:25 |
| ziggles | been looking @ slickdeals and the dell outlet, but was hoping someone awesome might know a better source for being cheap. | 00:25 |
| Sylphid | ziggles, check out the custom builds that cnet does every so often | 00:26 |
| hmw | slerder - not the same as relogging, but the same effect, i wanted you to cause | 00:26 |
| === Someone is now known as Guest79365 | ||
| LjL | bonez451: personally, since i'm not familiar with scp myself, i'd use tar piped to netcat, but that's a bit... crude, and i'm sure scp is a better option | 00:26 |
| ziggles | Sylphid, what should i google to find it? | 00:26 |
| Sylphid | ziggles, sorry... not cnet but toms hardware | 00:26 |
| hmw | slerder - problem solved? | 00:26 |
| Scunizi | ziggles: check out the "business" section on dell.. they don't package all the bloatware with those machines and they are less $$'s | 00:26 |
| usser | ziggles, my first computer was from sidewalk, but on a more serious note, buy parts from newegg.com and assemble it yourself you'll easily fit in 300$ with a pretty beefy machine | 00:26 |
| Sylphid | ziggles, looking | 00:26 |
| vertigo | anyone familiar with the "beige screen" hangs after login screen problem | 00:26 |
| Scunizi | kabukan: ping | 00:27 |
| kabukan | Scunizi i can do everything till partitioning wont see drive | 00:27 |
| nellmathew | ugh.. lol. is there anyway for me to use an external cdrom for LiveCD? (my bios doesn't support usb & i got my alternate install working by switching the ubuntu cd into the external cdrom right before "checking for cdroms".. my issue is that my laptops cdrom doesn't properly read the cds so i need to use the external..) | 00:27 |
| usser | Scunizi, really, we're paying 1200$ for dell 755's with a 19" monitors | 00:27 |
| Scunizi | kabukan: is it a 8200 chipset board? | 00:27 |
| hmw | vertigo - thats probably not one single "beige screen" problem. Several problems could cause that. You could try switching to the console (CTRL-ALT-F2) and examine the log files or simply kill the X server with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE - in some cases restarting X helps. | 00:27 |
| vertigo | it works when i boot from recovery mode and type "startx" but when it loads from regual kernel it hangs after login screen | 00:28 |
| Scunizi | usser: ?? | 00:28 |
| bonez451 | LjL just one problem.. the older machine, fromk which I hope to copy all the files.. had no CDROM in it.. can I still do this if i run at level 1, or whichever level would allow me to be unmounted and yet keep the networking intact? | 00:28 |
| kabukan | Scunizi: GA-M61P-S3 (rev. 1.0) addthis_url=location.href;addthis_title=document.title;addthis_pub='angrakiller';Help NVIDIA® GeForce 6100 / nForce 430 | 00:29 |
| usser | Scunizi, dell business section pcs, im just saying we pay 1200$ for optiplex 755 and we buy in pretty large bulks | 00:29 |
| rww | bonez451: can it boot from USB? you could make a liveusb disk. | 00:29 |
| vertigo | hmw: i have my nvidia installed correctly because i can get gnome to load just fine using the recovery boot option and then going to root and typing start x | 00:29 |
| LjL | bonez451: should be doable. actually, the networking might not be *very* intact if it's handled by network-manager... but it should be if you just have it configured in /etc/network/interfaces | 00:29 |
| bonez451 | I guess I could do that.. with a thumb drive.. ok | 00:29 |
| Scunizi | usser: ah.. I got a lappy there.. vostro 1401 upgraded mem, wireless & vid card 470 a year ago.. haven't checked in the last few months.. :) | 00:30 |
| Sylphid | ziggles, http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overclock-e5200-radeon,2144.html .... they do one every few months | 00:30 |
| hmw | vertigo - Maybe X is using VESA drivers, when you start from recovery. Check out /var/log/Xorg.0.log, when your screen hangs (ctrl-alt-f2) | 00:30 |
| elad` | How do I install and run my own SMTP server? | 00:31 |
| yun-haow | please join #hacker-ubuntu | 00:31 |
| vertigo | thanks will do | 00:31 |
| ziggles | Sylphid, thanks! checking now | 00:31 |
| LjL | bonez451: if you know the syntax of /etc/network/interfaces, you should have no problems. if you don't, but have DHCP on the router, then just two lines saying "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" will be fine | 00:31 |
| LjL | yun-haow: please don't advertize channels in here. thank you. | 00:31 |
| bonez451 | ok... | 00:32 |
| rww | !smtp | elad` | 00:32 |
| ubottu | elad`: Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer and https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/email-services.html | 00:32 |
| usser | elad`, ubuntu should have a built in smtp server, sendmail, there are alternatives, exim, postfix. they are not that trivial to configure though | 00:32 |
| yun-haow | iam sorry,,, | 00:32 |
| Scunizi | kabukan: might be a couple of things.. bad drive (just experienced that myself), a drive that the archetecture can't be seen because of a bug in the kernel (I think that's where it is) or the chipset. If it's the chipset at the first screen on the live cd hit F6 and at the end of the kernel line after erasing quiet & splash put pci=nomsi.. that's what fixed my problem. | 00:32 |
| hmw | vertigo - the log file is large. Dont let it confuse you, be patient. | 00:32 |
| ziggles | right now i use a 32bit proc ... u guys think if i switch to a 64bit proc ill run into probs iwth ubuntu? | 00:32 |
| ziggles | i can afford to wait till things get better | 00:32 |
| bonez451 | LjL can I find a USB image on www.ubuntu.com? it is fairly easy to set up on a usb device? would a usb zip drive work? | 00:32 |
| LjL | ziggles: no reason why you should | 00:32 |
| kabukan | Scunizi will try doing it now | 00:33 |
| LjL | bonez451: it's not *incredibly* easy | 00:33 |
| rww | !liveusb | 00:33 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about liveusb | 00:33 |
| bonez451 | LjL but with time and persistence. it's doable. | 00:33 |
| rww | !usb | 00:33 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 00:33 |
| LjL | bonez451: but are you sure you shouldn't just be doing it the way you said - from a single-user (recovery) mode system? | 00:33 |
| ziggles | LjL, i'm sorry, what? | 00:33 |

| chupy | does anyone know a voice changer for linux? | 00:33 |
| ziggles | ah got ya. thx :) | 00:33 |
| LjL | ziggles: you can just keep using the 32bit version of ubuntu even on a 64bit processor | 00:34 |
| ziggles | but 64bit costs more :) | 00:34 |
| kabukan | Scunizi: if this works i wont have to do it again right it will see my sata drive always | 00:34 |
| rww | ziggles: most relatively-new processors are 64-bit. The entire Intel Core 2 line, for example. | 00:34 |
| nellmathew | is there anyway for me to boot the livecd off of a usb-externel cdrom without usb bios support? (maybe from within the alt installer or something?.. my internal cdrom corrupts data sometimes..) | 00:34 |
| rww | ziggles: it's not the 64-bit that makes them cost more, it's the newerness | 00:35 |
| hmw | chupy - what does voice changer program do? | 00:35 |
| wolter | how can i create a tar from all the files in a folder? | 00:35 |
| LjL | chupy: not voice changers per se, but "apt-cache search real time audio effect" will give you a couple of programs that can do stuff to realtime audio | 00:35 |
| Pici | wolter: The tar manpage has some good examples. | 00:36 |
| biouser | is there a recursive chown? | 00:36 |
| LjL | wolter: tar -cf archive.tar folder/ | 00:36 |
| LjL | biouser: the -R option. | 00:36 |
| rww | biouser: chown -R | 00:36 |
| chupy | hmw LjL thanks audacity works? | 00:36 |
| wolter | LjL, yeah, but that will put all folder's files inside folder. I want just to have all folders files loose inside the tar | 00:36 |
| biouser | right, capitol R, found it in the man, was about to panic ;) ty LjL rww | 00:37 |

| chupy | i am gonna tate all of them | 00:37 |
| litb | is there some reason why to prefer dash for the system posix compliant shell to bash? | 00:37 |
| LjL | chupy: if you don't need it real-time, though... then just about any soundfile editor (including audacity) will let you, for example, change the pitch of audio - and that's a crude but effective way to change a voice | 00:37 |
| Pici | elad`: You need to tell Ubuntu to use a different java version: sudo update-alternatives --config java (and perhaps javac as well) | 00:37 |
| chupy | no i want it in real time | 00:37 |
| wolter | is there a tar irc channel? | 00:38 |
| rww | litb: dash is POSIX complient and a lot faster than bash | 00:38 |
| litb | #gnu, wolter | 00:38 |
| litb | oh | 00:38 |
| LjL | wolter: sorry, didn't understand your concern here | 00:38 |

| hmw | chupy - you might google for a "vocoder" program. | 00:38 |
| Pici | elad`: Actually, sudo update-java-alternatives should do them all at once | 00:38 |
| rww | litb: bash 4.0 isn't in the repositories yet | 00:38 |
| elad` | Pici, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java is the currently selected. Shouldn't that be the one? | 00:39 |

| b1n42y | ziggles: no 3d support? | 00:40 |
| hmw | b1n42y - some of my programs refused to work, because the copy protection thought, the CD would have been a virtual CD. | 00:40 |
| wolter | LjL, do you understand now? | 00:40 |
| LjL | wolter: oh - yes, i do now. well, one simple way is to just "cd" to the directory first | 00:40 |
| Kirsch | are there any anti-rootkit "helper daemons" that exist to notify me if one looks like its gonna be installed in a repository? | 00:40 |
| rww | wolter: cd folder; tar -cf filename.tar * | 00:40 |
| wolter | rww LjL thanks! | 00:41 |
| hmw | chupy - a machine making robot voice in real time is called "Vocoder". I hope, you find some. | 00:41 |
| LjL | Kirsch: a rootkit installed in a repository...? | 00:41 |

| azlon | im reading about mkisofs but there are quite a few tags, how can i create an ISO of my current filesystem using mskisofs? | 00:41 |

| azlon | mkisofs / /media/WD Passport/image.iso? | 00:42 |
| chupy | i found an extention for xmms | 00:42 |
| Kirsch | any preferences to either? | 00:42 |
| LjL | Kirsch: standard practice according to google is... to use both | 00:42 |
| rww | azlon: for a start, you'd want to change "WD Passport" to "WD\ Passport" | 00:42 |
| Kirsch | fair enough :-) | 00:43 |
| b1n42y | azlon: oh what you can create isos of current system... nice like ghosting ... | 00:43 |
| rww | chupy: xmms1 isn't supported any more | 00:43 |
| LjL | Kirsch: they don't really run in the background anyway - you have to run them manually when you want to check (although i believe the packages install a cronjob for you) | 00:43 |
| azlon | b1n42y: yeah, i now have my system working exactly the way i want it, now i want to keep it for when i mess it up in a couple days :) | 00:43 |
| chupy | :( | 00:43 |
| LjL | Kirsch: if you want something that *actually* works in the background as a daemon, then i'm afraid you're out of luck... although you could use broader-scope security-checking packages that can monitor for changes to any files, for instance | 00:44 |
| LjL | Kirsch: but those things aren't specific to rootkits, and can be annoying on a desktop install i suspect | 00:44 |
| elad` | I installed Postfix, telneted to 127.0.0.1 and sent a message to my gmail account. It told me the message was queued. I then QUIT-ed. I can't see the message on my gmail account, neither in the inbox nor the spam folder. I take it that it wasn't delivered. Why? Is it still queued? | 00:44 |
| Kirsch | LjL: understood, this is going to be on a server so... | 00:44 |
| racecar56 | gotta go bye | 00:44 |
| Huufarted | azlon, if you have a large fs (> 650 MB) you can use a gparted live cd and burn your entire file system to an image over FTP to a local FTP server | 00:44 |
| b1n42y | azlon: you could also setup virtualbox and mess with that b4 messing with your 'real' system | 00:44 |
| Huufarted | b1n42y, good call | 00:45 |
| rww | elad`: It's possible that your ISP is blocking you from running an SMTP server. Many do. | 00:45 |

| b1n42y | Huufarted: shanks | 00:45 |
| elad` | Oh. Spam. Bastards. | 00:45 |
| erUSUL | elad`: to avoid spam and open relays... | 00:45 |
| LjL | Kirsch: well, "tripwire" is the first integrity checker that springs to mind to me (still not sure it works as a daemon), but there are more | 00:45 |
| elad` | How am I going to learn about SMTP then? | 00:45 |
| rww | elad`: exactly | 00:45 |
| LjL | Kirsch: do keep in mind that using things like tripwire will mean that you get notified when *any* file in root is changed - even if you changed it and you know you changed it | 00:46 |
| elad` | Is there some publicly accessible SMTP server I can interact with through the mail reader I'm writing? | 00:46 |
| azlon | hrmm | 00:46 |
| rww | elad`: to send mail? your ISP's smtp server or gmail's... | 00:47 |
| elad` | Also, how do I use postfix to see if my ISP is indeed blocking me? | 00:47 |
| azlon | i just want to create an ISO of my drive on my external HDD... im running a netbook so i cant burn it to CD or DVD | 00:47 |
| elad` | rww: My ISP's server uses ESMTP. I'd like to start with the simpler SMTP. | 00:47 |
| Kirsch | LjL: tripwire is a good idea, and i've actually written a script to do similar things, my server's been getting hacked pretty consistently the past few days, so if i need something like that, i may us ethat instead of a custom script. | 00:47 |
| rww | elad`: oh. I think gmail's SMTP server has complications too. | 00:47 |
| TJ-42 | i | 00:47 |
| Kirsch | rww: is gmail fucked up today for some reason? or was that me? | 00:47 |
| elad` | rww, unless ESMTP is actually quite simpler, and you can direct me at an example of a session. | 00:47 |
| elad` | rww, could I send you an email then, to see if it is indeed gmail? | 00:48 |
| rww | Kirsch: 1) Please don't cuss in this channel, it's against the channel guidelines. 2) It's been working fine for me. | 00:48 |
| TJ-42 | I'm trying to copy files from an old ntfs partition and I keep getting the message "permission denied" on some, but not all, files, even when I use sudo... what could be wrong? | 00:48 |
| Kirsch | rww: ok sorry | 00:48 |
| erUSUL | elad`: send only local mail | 00:48 |
| b1n42y | does anyone know if theres a way to convert ubuntus ext3 or reiser to ext4 and reiser4 respectively and is it wise to do so? | 00:48 |
| elad` | erUSUL? | 00:48 |
| rww | b1n42y: no idea about reiser, but Ubuntu Intrepid doesn't support ext4. I hear it's possible to do it in Jaunty, but Jaunty isn't supported here (try #ubuntu+1) | 00:49 |
| LjL | Kirsch: you may want to apt-cache search for "integrity check", "intrusion detect", "file change check", you'll get a few good hits. i think (though i haven't tried yet) that if you add "dnotify" or "inotify" as a keyword, you'll likely narrow down the search to those programs that actually work as daemon (since dnotify is the infrastructure in the kernel that lets programs know when files change) | 00:49 |
| bcurtiswx | anyone here good with getting a mail server to work correctly with ubuntu? | 00:49 |
| rww | elad`: I use gmail, so I don't think I'm the person to ask ;) | 00:49 |
| ryanprior | b1n42y: It's not very wise to do so, no. The gains aren't that great, and the risk is reasonably high. | 00:49 |
| b1n42y | rww: thanks, i guess i'll wait till april | 00:49 |
| erUSUL | b1n42y: for ext3 --> to ext4 is possible but not wise | 00:49 |
| elad` | How do I see postfix's logs, or whatever, to see if the message is still in the queue? | 00:49 |
| Kirsch | LjL: that sounds like a great way for me to go, thanks! i'm gonna do this now and see. thanks for the help!! | 00:49 |
| b1n42y | THANKS | 00:49 |
| propagandhi | bcurtiswx: ask a more specific question | 00:49 |
| ryanprior | b1n42y: If you have good backups and you're running a high-performance system which needs every bit of performance, then it's probably a good idea to do a restore from backup after formatting as ext4. | 00:50 |

| Nilbus | has anyone noticed issues recently Totem streaming internet radio? | 00:51 |
| LjL | Kirsch: but anyway i would also try to think of the root of the problem, as you say you're getting "hacked pretty constantly" - that's kind of worrying, isn't it? i mean, sure, *detecting* an instrusion is useful, but preventing them is even more so. does your server have and need very many services open to the internet? | 00:51 |
| nellmathew | ryanprior: from within the command line maybe?.. my internal cdrom won't read cds properly.. and i don't have bios usb support. | 00:51 |
| rww | b1n42y: pretty sure ext4 on a laptop isn't going to get you any significant performance gain | 00:51 |
| bcurtiswx | i did the tutorial for how to set up a mail server at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer i see the messages in /var/mail/<my username> | 00:51 |
| ryanprior | b1n42y: Ah. ext4 is mostly designed to allow higher performance for servers with big hard drives and make things nicer for system administrators. If you want better laptop performance, you should get a faster hard drive or SSD; filesystem changes won't affect you much, since 5400 rpm is always going to be slow. | 00:51 |

| b1n42y | rww: ryanprior: thanks looks like it just noatime and maybe writeback journaling for me then , yes? | 00:52 |
| ryanprior | nellmathew: You might try netbooting, if your BIOS supports that. | 00:52 |
| bcurtiswx | haha, ok, one more time here.. | 00:53 |
| stevetarot | is there a way i can kill my onboard PCI Intel video card so it doesnt load into Xorg | 00:53 |
| elad` | rww, can I check if postfix has messages it didn't manage to deliver? | 00:53 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: bios? | 00:53 |
| propagandhi | bcurtiswx: are u using pop or imap | 00:53 |
| bcurtiswx | i did the tutorial for how to set up a mail server at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer i see the messages in /var/mail/<my username>, i installed squirrelmail, and tried using evolution, but i can't get it to grab those messages into a mail GUI | 00:53 |
| bcurtiswx | im using imap | 00:53 |
| propagandhi | and what errors do u see | 00:54 |
| bcurtiswx | i've tried pop3 too, (i didn't restrict which i would use). | 00:54 |
| stevetarot | b1n: i set bios to PCI but when i boot up it still sees my Intel card, im afraid this is messing up my boot | 00:54 |
| bcurtiswx | propagandhi: nothing abnormal | 00:54 |
| propagandhi | well what happens when u try to connect to the mailbox | 00:54 |
| WarriorSlayer | ppl there's any way to mount a ext4 fs in ubuntu 8.10? | 00:55 |
| bcurtiswx | nothing.. it asks for password.. then nothing gets downloaded | 00:55 |
| WarriorSlayer | just for ro no write | 00:55 |
| ryanprior | WarriorSlayer: You can mount ext4 as ext3 or ext2 for read-only access. | 00:55 |
| WarriorSlayer | ryanprior: how? | 00:56 |
| propagandhi | bcurtiswx: is anything recorded in the logs | 00:56 |
| ryanprior | WarriorSlayer: Same command you would use to mount an ext3 or ext2 filesystem as read-only. | 00:56 |
| WarriorSlayer | ryanprior: mount -ro source dest? | 00:56 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: didnt you say you want to kill your onboard gfx card | 00:56 |
| b1n42y | pci* | 00:56 |
| ryanprior | WarriorSlayer: mount -ro -t ext3 source dest | 00:56 |
| rdz | is there a cool frontent for lame, that lets me convert a few tracks in one go? | 00:57 |
| propagandhi | bcurtiswx: and which did u go with courier, cyrus or dovecot | 00:57 |
| illumin8 | Question, how does ubuntu handel terabyte drives? any issues reported? | 00:57 |
| stevetarot | yes, i have two video cards, one is onboard one is nvidia | 00:57 |
| bcurtiswx | propagandhi: theres a nice test at http://www.zoneedit.com/smtp.html and it works, yes there are things in the logs, but its not error messages, "Feb 27 19:44:37 weather dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<username>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS" | 00:57 |
| Scunizi | rdz: ripperx | 00:57 |
| WarriorSlayer | ryanprior: ty very much dude :] | 00:57 |
| rdz | Scunizi, thanks | 00:57 |
| stevetarot | but im afraid autoboot loads up the onboard one and not nvidia | 00:57 |
| Spang | Has anyone asked google what the latest Ubuntu release is recently? :) | 00:57 |
| Scunizi | rdz: it's in the repo's.. :) | 00:57 |
| stevetarot | is there a way i can see wich video card xorg is trying to use | 00:57 |
| rdz | Scunizi, very cool. already found it | 00:58 |
| ryanprior | stevetarot: lsmod | 00:58 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:58 |
| hmw | my notebook has 4 primary partitions (ntfs system, huge ntfs data, swap, linux) and i need more. Can I convert a primary into an extended partition? Do I have to delete hda2 (ntfs data) and make it all new? | 00:58 |
| Spang | http://www.google.com/search?q=latest+ubuntu+release | 00:58 |
| === Bruce is now known as Brucey | ||
| Flannel | Spang: #ubuntu-offtopic is the best place for non-support questions | 00:59 |
| ryanprior | hmw: You could resize an old partition with extra space on it in order to create a new one. | 00:59 |
| === bernz_ is now known as bernz | ||
| hmw | ryanprior - i already have 4 primary partitions. | 00:59 |
| rdz | Scunizi, i actually have wav files, no cd. do you know, if there is way to use ripperx to also encode wav files to mp3? | 00:59 |
| Spang | Not so much a question, just thought google's answer might have been of interest. Apologies :) | 01:00 |
| Drakeson | how can I add a new virtual font to my system (I want to instruct my system to show dejavu when it is asked for bitstream vera) | 01:00 |
| Scunizi | rdz: hmmm.. never tried that one.. just a sec | 01:00 |
| stevetarot | if I want to use NVIDIA PCI:2:0:0 is that something i should put in xorg.conf | 01:00 |
| rdz | Scunizi, aha.. nevermind.. i guess you can only rip from cd | 01:00 |
| b1n42y | by the way if anyone has encountered bottom panel getting stuck, disable animation in panel properties in configuration editor | 01:00 |
| hmw | ryanprior - i already have 4 primary partitions, so I have to cancel one, to make an extended there. (you only got 4 partition entries. With extended you have max. 3 primary + several in the extended) | 01:01 |
| Scunizi | rdz: not true | 01:01 |
| rdz | Scunizi, the name says it all, doesn't it? | 01:01 |
| ryanprior | hmw: You can create as many primary partitions as you acn stomach. | 01:01 |
| rdz | Scunizi, ah... cool... | 01:01 |
| hmw | ryanprior - no. | 01:01 |
| Scunizi | rdz: you can do what you want.. open the configuration button and take a look.. you'll see an option to "convert from existing wav" to mp3 | 01:01 |
| === Brucey is now known as Bruceee | ||
| hmw | ryanprior - not with the MBR (msdos) we are using. | 01:01 |

| b1n42y | stevetarot: if im not mistaken there should be a GUI program for selecting GFX card, which will dump it into your xorg file | 01:02 |
| MidtownNewbie | All? Help with a usb thumb drive? | 01:02 |
| Scunizi | not mounting? | 01:03 |
| overmind | ok friends thank's | 01:03 |
| MidtownNewbie | Correct. | 01:03 |
| MidtownNewbie | Not even an option. | 01:03 |
| ryanprior | hmw: Ah, you mean you aren't using LVM. That sucks. | 01:03 |
| MidtownNewbie | But others do. | 01:03 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: have you tried system > admin > hardware drivers | 01:03 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: check this out.. I just had to use it for an older mp3 player that won't mount anymore on ibex.. did on hardy but not 8.10 .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB | 01:04 |
| hmw | ryanprior - yes, it does. Stupid me... guess I will resize the data partition and reinstall Linux to an extended partition. | 01:04 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: I plugged mine in and then immediately typed dmesg into a terminal.. with that info I was able to use the mount command | 01:04 |
| MidtownNewbie | Scunizi: okay, but i should've mentioned that the drive doesn't seem to work on *any* machine. | 01:04 |
| ryanprior | hmw: Make sure you have good backups. Don't feel stupid -- the installer never says "Hey, it would be a really good idea to use LVM!" which it should IMO. | 01:05 |
| stevetarot | Im afraid thats where my boot fails and hangs, its saying my nvidia card is on (0@2:0:0) but my xconf has a line "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0" | 01:05 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: any linux machine or ANY machine? | 01:05 |
| MidtownNewbie | Scunizi: any machine, linux or otherwise | 01:05 |
| stevetarot | im working in shell right now because when i boot into gnome in safe mode most utilities dont work including the ones you gusy mentioned | 01:05 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: once plugged in does lsusb return anything or dmesg? | 01:05 |
| ryanprior | MidtownNewbie: It's busted then. Buy a new one. | 01:05 |
| hmw | ryanprior - Still stupid me - I wanted 4 primaries, for whatever reason I might have had in mind. | 01:06 |
| rdz | Scunizi, i still don't see, how you can set the sourcefile.. | 01:06 |
| bcurtiswx | Anyone, i installed an ubuntu mail server through the ubuntu guide. Using dovecot, I seem to get the messages (as they are sitting in /var/mail/<my username>) but i can't retrieve them using a GUI (like squirrelmail or evolution).. can anyone help me find out why (i've searched the internet with no help, and logs don't show any errors). | 01:06 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: tried booting in safe mode? | 01:06 |
| Scunizi | rdz: hang on | 01:06 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: ahh | 01:06 |
| stevetarot | b1: safe mode works and its using my nvidia but regular kernal boot hangs | 01:06 |
| rww | bcurtiswx: you probably need to use a mail reader that supports mbox. I think thunderbird can do that. | 01:07 |
| MidtownNewbie | ryanprior / Scunizi: lsusb does return something... Bus 001 Device 003: ID 058f:1234 Alcor Micro Corp. | 01:07 |
| rww | bcurtiswx: or "local mail delivery". I forget what exactly it calls it | 01:07 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: so can you boot in safe mode and try sys>admin>hardware drivers | 01:07 |
| bcurtiswx | rww: will Mailbox make it so most e-mail software can get mail from my server? | 01:07 |
| stevetarot | right now im reading Xorg.0.log but im not seeing anything special | 01:07 |
| Sylphid | can anyone tell me how to force an app to release my mouse and keyboard... specifically nexuiz | 01:07 |
| ryanprior | MidtownNewbie: Have you tried reformatting it? | 01:07 |
| MidtownNewbie | ryanprior: that's what i'd like to do, except i don't know what /dev/sd# it is | 01:08 |
| stevetarot | ok hang on b1 let me reboot | 01:08 |
| ryanprior | Sylphid: ctrl+alt+backspace kills X in a way that nexuiz shouldn't be able to stop. | 01:08 |
| jcapinc | can anyone tell me what the purity package is and what it is used for? | 01:08 |
| Scunizi | rdz: I think you just set the directory for where the wav files are located and the directory you want to mp3's to be then click "OK" to get back to the main part of the program and "scan".. I don't have any wav's to test sorry.. | 01:08 |
| stevetarot | but from what i can remember that doesn't work in safe mode, throws an error | 01:08 |
| wng- | is it possible to use turbotax online w/ ubuntu? I swear there used to be a way to skip the system compatibility check | 01:08 |
| ryanprior | Sylphid: If that doesn't work because X is borked, alt+sysrq+r puts the keyboard in raw mode, taking control away from x. | 01:08 |
| badfish69 | i have no sound in snes9x-gtk | 01:08 |
| stevetarot | is there a command line equivalent of admin->hardwaredrivers | 01:09 |
| rdz | Scunizi, there is no option to set source directory.. where have you seen it? | 01:09 |
| Akuma | where does gnome keep the session files | 01:09 |
| ryanprior | MidtownNewbie: It won't be a /dev/sdx I don't think. | 01:09 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: you might be able to find the sd<x><x> location using dmesg | 01:09 |
| Akuma | where all the data for the programs that should be running is? | 01:09 |
| MidtownNewbie | Scunizi: i don't think i saw it in there | 01:09 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: mmm, i think there is actually | 01:09 |
| Sylphid | ryanprior, i know ctrl alt backspace doesnt work because nexuiz catches it for some reason | 01:09 |
| Akuma | like for when loging out and logging back in | 01:09 |
| azlon | can anybody tell me why this doesnt work: sudo mkisofs -split-output -o test.iso / /media/WD\Passport | 01:09 |
| Akuma | so my programs appear again | 01:10 |
| Sylphid | ryanprior, ill try sys+r thanks | 01:10 |
| stevetarot | im going to boot gnome in safe mode anyway | 01:10 |
| Scunizi | rdz: it doesn't say source.. just "wav" directory and "mp3" directory.. I guess you have to accept that it might be smart enough to figure out what you're doing with the switches you've checked. | 01:10 |
| wolter | with witch command do I access the default internet browser? | 01:10 |
| MidtownNewbie | ryanprior: i got the /dev/sd# idea from http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-format-usb-pen-drive/ ... any other way to format it? | 01:10 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: more to do with X setup than hardware | 01:10 |
| hmw | Sylphid - did you try kill -9 PROCESSNAME ? | 01:10 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: cant remember how to invoke it | 01:10 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: unplug it and plug it back in then check .. should be the last thing in dmesg from terminal | 01:10 |
| Sylphid | ryanprior, can you tell me how to put it back to a normal mode? | 01:10 |
| ryanprior | MidtownNewbie: Actually, when I put mine in it mounts it as sdb, so maybe that would work. | 01:10 |
| stevetarot | what are you lookin for exactly | 01:10 |
| Scunizi | ryanprior: MidtownNewbie unless he has other drives in the machine.. | 01:11 |
| bcurtiswx | rww: did you get my last message? | 01:11 |
| ryanprior | Sylphid: I don't know. The only time I put the keyboard in raw mode is when my kernel is locking up and I'm trying to shut it down before it starts my 'puter on fire. | 01:11 |
| avian | Question: I'm trying to setup a DHCP server to seperate out known and unknown clients into different subnets - does anyone know a good tutorial? | 01:11 |
| stevetarot | damn in recovery mode my computer works perfect | 01:11 |
| stevetarot | well almost | 01:11 |
| Sylphid | hmw, im unable to because trying to switch to a console or a vty is unsuccessful because the game catches the keys and for some reason X does not | 01:11 |
| b1n42y | you could also look into apt-get install insert nvidia-package here | 01:11 |
| unop | Sylphid, how about CTRL+ALT+F1 ? | 01:11 |
| stevetarot | my video card works perfect that is | 01:11 |
| MidtownNewbie | ryanprior / Scunizi: shall i pastebin the dmesg output? | 01:11 |
| ryanprior | MidtownNewbie: Ah, that came out wrong. I didn't mean "reformat sdb and see if that works"! | 01:11 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: sure | 01:12 |
| Sylphid | unop, tried... no go.. nexuiz catches it | 01:12 |
| hmw | Sylphid - if you got sshd running, you could try from outside | 01:12 |
| rdz | Scunizi, it doesn't find them.. | 01:12 |
| Brucee | how do i exit of the gui and go to terminal? i dont want to run a terminal, i want to exit out of gui | 01:12 |
| stevetarot | okay i went to system->admin->hardware drivers and i got "failed to connect to /var/run/dbus" | 01:12 |
| hmw | Bruceee - /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 01:12 |
| avian | does anyone have a decent tutorial for getting a DHCP server to work? | 01:12 |
| azlon | if i create an iso of / will that also add /media devices to the iso? | 01:12 |
| unop | Sylphid, the magic sysrq sequence then. heard of REISUB? | 01:12 |
| rdz | Scunizi, i am running ripperx from the directory where the wavs are located, but it doesn't see them. i cannot hit the 'go' button | 01:13 |
| Scunizi | rdz: sorry .. you might want to either search synaptic for mp3 or ripper, converter etc.. or read up on lame or mencoder which will also do it.. | 01:13 |
| bcurtiswx | rww: sorry my last question i meant maildir | 01:13 |
| Sylphid | hmw, yes that should work ... my goal however is to put the game into the background to switch tasks | 01:13 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: so try sys>admin>hardware drivers ,by the sound of it in safe mode its using generic drivers for nvidia in normal mode it tries loading somehting else and fails | 01:13 |
| Scunizi | rdz: you don't have to run it "from" | 01:13 |
| Maior | I'm trying to debootstrap hardy onto my laptop (from Knoppix (I wonder if I should ask this in #knoppix)) - it validates the packages, it extracts the packages, then it fails with W: Failure trying to run: "chroot /mnt/hda1 mount -t proc proc /proc" - absolutely no idea why, google isn't being of much use | 01:13 |
| stevetarot | correct | 01:13 |
| Maior | any suggestions? | 01:13 |
| Scunizi | rdz from the directory.. just change the directory reference in Config.. | 01:13 |
| rdz | Scunizi, yo.. i know lame, but i am looking for a way to convert several files in one go... | 01:13 |
| avian | about that DHCP server... | 01:13 |
| Sylphid | unop, yes im familiar with magic sysrq | 01:13 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: ok, have you tried installing drivers from command line | 01:14 |
| rdz | Scunizi, yeah. the reference is './'.. so the path is ok | 01:14 |
| MidtownNewbie | ryanprior / Scunizi: http://pastebin.com/d77d23d94 | 01:14 |
| Scunizi | rdz: you can do that with lame and the find command.. I just don't know the particulars | 01:14 |
| Brucee | hmw : says permission denied | 01:14 |
| rdz | Scunizi, but thanks for your time | 01:14 |
| stevetarot | i installed nvidia drivers command line yea | 01:14 |
| Scunizi | rdz: sure | 01:14 |
| stevetarot | they work great in safe mode | 01:14 |
| hmw | azlon - I used the --exclude switch for making a full backup of my mounted file system. Look at http://harald.ist.org/LFS/lfs-diary/#a-working-backup for an example. | 01:14 |
| berni | hi q: how i can i get the freespace of a NOT mounted NTFS partition | 01:14 |
| dtchen_ | Maior: try passing --verbose to debootstrap | 01:14 |
| hmw | Bruceee: sorry, it is "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" | 01:14 |
| rdz | Scunizi, yo..i know.. but it needs some time to write that script.. and i am sure, that someone has already written it | 01:14 |
| stevetarot | what is the difference between "recovery mode" and regular boot | 01:14 |
| azlon | hmw: thanks | 01:14 |
| Sylphid | unop, my app is still responsive, my goal is to toggle between an app that grabs keyboard+mouse from X and switch back to standard input | 01:14 |
| unop | avian, you can get dhcpd to dish out IP address for clients with known MAC addresses - but that somewhat defeats the point of using a DHCP server in the first place. Also if you change the NIC on one of the clients, you have to reconfigure the DHCPd | 01:14 |
| Scunizi | rdz: should be a sort one liner | 01:15 |
| Sylphid | unop, trying to multi task gaming+ other | 01:15 |
| berni | i need this for an opensource project i'm on | 01:15 |
| avian | unop: Thanks, but I think most of that went over my head. | 01:15 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: less drivers generic drivers.... | 01:15 |
| b1n42y | i guess | 01:15 |
| rdz | Scunizi, hehe.. right.. but still, you need to be comfortable with the bash in order to write it quickly. | 01:15 |
| bcurtiswx | do mail software like evolution and squirrelmail read from Maildir ok.. (as i was just told they don't from mbox) | 01:15 |
| rdz | Scunizi, i'll try anyway.. thanks | 01:15 |
| Brucee | thank you hmw ! ;-) | 01:16 |
| stevetarot | ahhh dang | 01:16 |
| Maior | dtchen_: exactly the same output | 01:16 |
| avian | unop: I really just want to seperate computers with known MACs into one subnet, and everything else into a different subnet, | 01:16 |
| berni | hi q: how i can i get the freespace of a NOT mounted NTFS partition | 01:16 |
| unop | avian, this should give you an idea - http://www.usenet-forums.com/linux-networking/61735-dhcpd-conf-fixed-address-concrete-host.html | 01:16 |
| avian | unop: Thanks | 01:16 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: smoko time, see if theres a difference in your xorg now, whilst in safe mode | 01:16 |
| Scunizi | rdz: someone in here can do it in nothing flat | 01:16 |
| stevetarot | will do | 01:16 |
| unop | rdz, what are you trying to do? | 01:16 |
| Brucee | hmw : seems to halt now, how do i start the gdm again? | 01:16 |
| hmw | Bruceee: sorry, it is "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" | 01:17 |
| bcurtiswx | dtchen_: do you know a bit about mail servers? | 01:17 |
| BlueAidan | question: I'm trying to get the most recent version of xfwm installed in intrepid. | 01:17 |
| Scunizi | unop: rdz would like to batch convert some wav files to mp3 using lame | 01:17 |
| hmw | BlueAidan: that wasnt a question. | 01:17 |
| BlueAidan | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/xfwm4 shows 4.4.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 is available, but I only see 4.4.2-5ubuntu2 | 01:17 |

| BlueAidan | nevermind | 01:19 |
| Scunizi | rdz: unop comes up with good stuff :) .. he's been banging that keyboard for some time | 01:19 |
| rdz | unop, it is running and saving me a lot of time.. ;-) | 01:19 |
| unop | rdz, find /path/to/somewhere -iname "*.wav" -type f -print0 | while read -d '' f; do lame "$f" "${f%.wav}.mp3"; done # should work if you want to recurse into subdirectories | 01:19 |
| MidtownNewbie | ryanprior: okay, thanks anyway. Scunizi? | 01:19 |
| rdz | unop, isn't there '-exec' for find as well? | 01:19 |
| unop | rdz, sure .. but I hate using that because it's another level of quoting | 01:20 |
| rdz | unop, already through | 01:20 |
| hmw | Brucee - hmm. CTRL-ALT-F2 should bring up the console #2. | 01:20 |
| rdz | unop, i see | 01:20 |
| Brucee | hmw : thanks again | 01:20 |
| Brucee | trying to get familiar with linux | 01:20 |

| unop | rdz, find /path/to/somewhere -iname "*.wav" -type f -exec sh -c 'lame "$1" "${1%%.wav}.mp3"' _ {} + # should do | 01:21 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: you could also try removing nvidia drivers in safe mode, then read | 01:21 |
| rdz | unop, crazy.. i need to save that one.. | 01:21 |
| unop | Scunizi, i believe it does - but don't quote me on that - i prefer ffmpeg for most conversions | 01:21 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: !nvidia | 01:21 |
| stevetarot | hey | 01:21 |
| stevetarot | not sure what you mean, i do need my nvidia drivers dont I? | 01:22 |
| ryanprior | b1n42y: instead use "!nvidia | stevetarot" | 01:22 |
| b1n42y | thanks | 01:22 |
| Scunizi | unop: would the command be the same just substitute ffmpeg for lame? | 01:22 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: well it sounds like you botched nvidia driver install | 01:22 |
| b1n42y | !nvidia | stevetarot | 01:23 |
| ubottu | stevetarot: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:23 |
| unop | Scunizi, yea pretty much - except with ffmpeg you have to specify the input file with -i -- in that case it's the "$1" | 01:23 |
| wartalker | i want to install kde4.2, but need many dependencies, how i installl those | 01:23 |
| stevetarot | hmm ok I will try to reinstall nvidia | 01:23 |
| azlon | hmw: you mentioned | 01:23 |
| stevetarot | what is the command to uninstall the driver? | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 01:23 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: apt-get remove package name, i think | 01:24 |
| azlon | hmw: you mentioned "Linux Rescue". i did a search for that in my package manager but was unable to find it. google search gives me tons of unrelated results... where can i find Linux Rescue? | 01:24 |
| Scunizi | unop: I'll give it a shot with lame and see how badly these wma's sound after conversion.. Thanks | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | b1n42y: thta'll ned sudo | 01:24 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: man apt-get | 01:24 |
| unop | ActionParsnip, you a yorkshire lad? | 01:25 |
| b1n42y | ActionParsnip: it will tell him :D | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | unop: aye, west yorsjire hardcore | 01:25 |
| hmw | azlon: its not a ubuntu program, but another system containing an easy to use backup thing, it's very similar to Norton Ghost. Google for stuff like "linux rescue livecd download" | 01:25 |
| unop | ActionParsnip, nice, south yorks here :) | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | b1n42y: i just like full commands | 01:25 |
| Maior | oh, hmm | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | unop: barnsley / sheffield? | 01:25 |
| unop | ActionParsnip, sheffield | 01:26 |
| wartalker | i want to install kde4.2, but need many dependencies, how i installl this one time | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | unop: i'm leeds represent | 01:26 |
| unop | ActionParsnip, I figured from your hostname :) | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | unop: nice :) | 01:26 |
| golpemaestro | hola | 01:26 |
| Maior | "mount: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by mount)" | 01:26 |
| Maior | probably not healthy | 01:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | azlon: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=System+Rescue+CD&l=1 | 01:27 |
| b1n42y | ActionParsnip: i got to go play tennis, help him out if my recommendations dont work, i thought i try seeing how no one picked it up | 01:27 |
| Maior | dtchen_: ^^ (I found /media/hda1/debootstrap/debootstrap.log) | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | unop: smal world eh | 01:27 |
| bcurtiswx | Anyone, i installed an ubuntu mail server through the ubuntu guide. Using dovecot, I seem to get the messages (as they are sitting in /var/mail/<my username>) but i can't retrieve them using a GUI (like squirrelmail or evolution).. can anyone help me find out why (i've searched the internet with no help, and logs don't show any errors). im using mbox | 01:27 |
| Royall | I'm having problems with my external HDD. I am unable to umount it (device is busy) and when I pull the USB and put it back in later, ubuntu doesn't recognize that it even exists without rebooting | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | b1n42y: whats the goal | 01:27 |
| Scunizi | unop: nope.. lame was lame with wma's. no conversion at all.. so should the command read... for -i in *.wma; do ffmpeg "$i" "${i%.wma}.mp3";done ... ? | 01:27 |
| dtchen_ | Maior: ouch | 01:28 |
| b1n42y | ActionParsnip: normal boot, he cant post x server, safe mode all good, so his nvidia driver install botched IMO | 01:28 |
| Maior | dtchen_: indeed | 01:28 |
| bcurtiswx | dtchen_: are you good with mail servers? | 01:28 |
| Maior | dtchen_: really don't get why there's quite so much fail. going to try a random non-hardy thing | 01:28 |
| MidtownNewbie | Scunizi: hello? | 01:28 |
| dny | is it possible to open a new konsole window an pass some commands that are immediately exectued? like "konsole command" or sth. like that? | 01:28 |
| unop | Scunizi, errm no, for f in *.wma; do ffmpeg -i "$f" "${f%.wma}.mp3"; done | 01:28 |
| hmw | GParted wouldnt let me swapoff, neither did the command line version do it. What could be the reasons? (It seems, i am using 30% of my RAM right now) | 01:28 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: yep | 01:29 |
| Maior | dtchen_: ah | 01:29 |
| Scunizi | unop: ah.. ok.. thanks :) | 01:29 |
| unop | Scunizi, it's ffmpeg that takes the -i not for (for is part of bash) | 01:29 |
| MidtownNewbie | Scunizi: hey, um, so, my pastebin? had a chance to take a look at it yet? | 01:29 |
| Maior | dtchen_: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/hardy is a symlink to gutsy :s | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | b1n42y: sounds likely | 01:29 |
| hmw | dny: gnome-terminal -x EVERYTHING HERE WILL BE EXECUTED | 01:29 |
| unop | ActionParsnip, indeed .. but with ubuntu, the world's not so small after all :) | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | unop: true true, if you 're in leeds dude look me up | 01:30 |
| Maior | dtchen_: though actually, looking at symlinks, I suspect they use the name for things | 01:30 |
| unop | ActionParsnip, sure :) | 01:30 |
| b1n42y | ActionParsnip: his in the process of uninstalling and starting again after reading bots nvidia link | 01:30 |
| * unop runs a physical traceroute on ActionParsnip :) | 01:30 | |
| Maior | unop: for what it's worth - Essex/Cambridge ;) | 01:30 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | wow | 01:31 |
| dny | hmw: ah thank you, i figured out for kde konsole it's -e | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | unop: kirkstall uk, come on over | 01:31 |
| unop | Maior, you exist in two counties? :) | 01:31 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | is ebox supposed to install and setup like 4573027320 different services? | 01:31 |
| dny | but the window closes :( | 01:31 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: sorry.. my irc client is acting weird when my nick isn't mentioned first in the line I don't get highlighted on this end.. can you repost it? | 01:31 |
| Maior | unop: depends on time of year ;) | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | b1n42y: whats the username | 01:31 |
| unop | Maior, ahh - I was beginning to worry then :p | 01:31 |
| MidtownNewbie | Scunizi: http://pastebin.com/d77d23d94 | 01:31 |
| hmw | dny: -e looks like the thing that only takes the word immediately after the -e. In gnome-terminal -x is the same as -e, but the whole rest of the command is interpreted as to be executed. Might be the same in KDE. | 01:32 |
| hmw | ryanprior - just deleted the swap and made an ext of it. Yeah! I dont even have to touch some fstab things! | 01:33 |
| uptill3 | Is anyone familiar with dpkg? I'm trying to figure out how to duplicate some rpm functionality | 01:33 |
| ryanprior | hmw: Just make sure you don't use it for swap space by accident. =P | 01:33 |
| stevetarot | is telinit 3 safe to execute from shell when X is not running? | 01:33 |
| unop | uptill3, somewhat. what do you want to know? | 01:33 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: looks like it's seen but it doesn't respond with a /dev point.. have you tried looking for it with gparted? | 01:33 |
| hmw | ryanprior - i am currently trying to activate hda5 as swap | 01:33 |
| hmw | ryanprior - hda3 is my ext now. | 01:34 |
| MidtownNewbie | Scunizi: will try, 1 sec | 01:34 |
| unop | stevetarot, on debian/ubuntu, runlevels 2 to 5 are all the same -- it doesn't make a difference, but yea, you should be ok to do that | 01:34 |
| dny | hmw: well my idea is to open a konsole window with ssh connection via hotkey | 01:34 |
| RantingHuman | Scunizi: try '/hilight Scunizi', irssi highlights you even when your nick is at the end of a sentence (or anywhere, for that matter) then | 01:34 |
| stevetarot | crap i got a segmentation fault | 01:35 |
| stevetarot | why do I keep getting segmentation faults | 01:35 |
| hmw | dny: i don't know the KDE terminal. If you encounter problems, you could try encapsulating the ssh command in quotation marks: "ssh user@..." | 01:35 |
| uptill3 | unop: I'm trying to figure out how to duplicate 'rpm -qa --changelog' | 01:35 |
| Scunizi | RantingHuman: Thanks.. I typically do that but I'm ssh'd into a server on my lan that's fairly new.. Needless to say I'm still taming it. :) | 01:35 |
| uptill3 | unop: within dpkg, if it's even possible | 01:35 |
| RantingHuman | Scunizi: ah, all right :D | 01:35 |
| unop | uptill3, its been 7 years since I used any redhat - what does that do? | 01:36 |
| uptill3 | unop: it pukes out the changelog for all the packages installed currently | 01:36 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: seg faults are memory issues, or programs accessing memory issues if im not mistaken if it happens alot run memtest from boot cd | 01:36 |
| uptill3 | unop: I'm trying to port a script that uses that to search for patch names within the output to verify that certain things have been applied | 01:36 |
| Scunizi | RantingHuman: love irssi.. and screen.. espicially with screen split horizontally | 01:37 |
| unop | uptill3, I guess this is out of the scope of dpkg .. I think you might be interested in apt-listchanges | 01:37 |
| stevetarot | should I re-install Heron Ubuntu, is it more stable? | 01:37 |
| dny | hmw: i also tried that, but the window always closes, and a simple "konsole --new-tab" does not work... perhaps my installation is broken | 01:37 |
| uptill3 | unop: is that a package? | 01:37 |
| RantingHuman | Scunizi: me too, but I have yet to try splitting it horizontally | 01:37 |
| unop | uptill3, yes | 01:37 |
| uptill3 | ah, just found it | 01:37 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: whta version you using at the moment | 01:37 |
| uptill3 | thanks, I'll check it out | 01:37 |
| stevetarot | the latest on the ubuntu homepage | 01:38 |
| deddert | does anyone know of any at home computer jobs that work | 01:38 |
| unop | uptill3, maybe, apt-listbugs too? | 01:38 |
| b1n42y | 8.10? | 01:38 |
| stevetarot | yes yes | 01:38 |
| dny | hmw: now i got it. thanks for your help ;) | 01:38 |
| Scunizi | RantingHuman: easy.. ^aS then ^a TAB to switch from top to bottom.. ^aX to eliminate the split | 01:38 |
| hmw | dny: Looks like the command is being executed and the terminal thinks, it wouldnt be needed anymore. Look at the man page. | 01:38 |
| uptill3 | unop: thanks | 01:38 |
| MidtownNewbie | Scunizi: i don't think gparted sees the usb thumb drive | 01:39 |
| deddert | is there a channel that knows about jobs from home that work | 01:39 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: 8.10 seems fine for me, how old is your computer ? when did you get seg faults? | 01:39 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: that's quite possible.. if it doesn't see it and you can't find it with sudo fdisk -l or in dmesg then toss it. | 01:39 |
| stevetarot | i get seg faults all the time i thought it was from not restarting correctly/unmounting | 01:40 |
| RantingHuman | Scunizi: I guess, I'd need other windows for it | 01:40 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | I'm getting an error when I'm running ebox: (Error code: ssl_error_rx_unexpected_change_cipher) | 01:40 |
| b1n42y | stevetarot: test your memory like i said | 01:40 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | and the interface seems all messed up | 01:40 |
| homercycles | can anyone recommend a good note-taking/organizing program for Ubuntu/GNOME, kind of similar to KJots (for use with Kontact PIM in KDE)? | 01:40 |
| Maior | dtchen_: so, I just umounted /dev/hda1, re-mkfs.ext3-ed on it, and re-mount-ed, and re-debootstrap-ed, and it worked... | 01:40 |
| Maior | dtchen_: cheers though! | 01:40 |
| b1n42y | homercycles: basket | 01:40 |
| homercycles | b1n42y: thanks. I'll look into that | 01:41 |
| MidtownNewbie | Scunizi: yeah, i'm pretty sure that fisk -l comes up with bubkes. looks like i'm gonna have to toss it. | 01:41 |
| Scunizi | RantingHuman: ? no.. once you split and move to the empty half then ^ac to get a shell prompt.. when creating the split remember that ^aS is with a capital S .. not a small s which will change the flow control | 01:41 |
| b1n42y | homercycles: thats kde but theres no probs in installing software made for kde into gnome | 01:41 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: good thing is they are cheap and getting cheaper every day :) | 01:41 |
| RantingHuman | Scunizi: ahhh, capital... :) | 01:41 |
| homercycles | b1n42y: I have one already, I think VirtualBox uses QT libs | 01:42 |
| Scunizi | RantingHuman: syntax.. syntax.. syntax :) | 01:42 |
| MidtownNewbie | Scunizi: thanks anyway for your help | 01:42 |
| Scunizi | MidtownNewbie: wish I could have done more.. but you're welcome :) | 01:42 |
| RantingHuman | Scunizi: thanks, this is awesome :D | 01:42 |
| Scunizi | RantingHuman: It's like running two monitors.. once you do it . it's really hard to go back. | 01:43 |
| homercycles | b1n42y: I want it to organise all the little chunks of code I've accumulated over the years (unless you know of a better code organizer/snippets collection thing?) | 01:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | Scunizi: isnt that the truth.. (about 2 displays) | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: I used to for work. i find it excessive | 01:43 |
| Scunizi | RantingHuman: now install surfraw and from a terminal prompt type ... sr google <search term> and see what happens.. | 01:43 |
| felixsulla | homercycles: snipt.net is pretty cool | 01:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | ActionParsnip: lol, blasphemy! :) | 01:44 |
| osiris | anyone set up a reverse proxy before ? | 01:44 |
| homercycles | felixsculla: thanks, that's good to know, too (but I'm mainly interested in offline programs) | 01:44 |
| harry_v | I hear alot about ubunto.Does ubunto have all the libs nessesary to prevent dependacyissues when installing rpms ? | 01:44 |
| LjL | harry_v: Ubuntu doesn't use RPMs. | 01:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | harry_v: first, its ubuntU.. and second, ubuntu doesn't use rpms | 01:45 |
| elad` | Which of these is an authentication method? http://pastebin.com/d7d922d6 | 01:45 |
| osiris | ubuntu doesnt use rpms | 01:45 |
| LjL | !software > harry_v (harry_v, see the private message from ubottu) | 01:45 |
| RantingHuman | Scunizi: I'd been using Terminator to do this, so far... guess I should have read screen's man page a bit more carefully :) | 01:45 |
| Scunizi | IndyGunFreak: I'm hooked but have a hard time getting my wife to give me a kitchen pass to replace my last bad one.. and ActionParsnip until you're dealing with multiple docs that you need to reference on one screen and do something on the other.. well.. there is no need.. or photo editing.. | 01:45 |
| harry_v | what does it use | 01:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | harry_v: its based on debian | 01:45 |
| unop | !deb | harry_v | 01:45 |
| ubottu | harry_v: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 01:45 |
| osiris | .debs | 01:45 |
| harry_v | okay | 01:45 |
| LjL | harry_v: APT, the Debian packaging system. please check the link i gave you. | 01:45 |
| Stupendoussteve | harry_v: .debs, and it has a package manager called apt that manages dependencies. | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: IndyGunFreak: i RDP to abput 9 servers at one time so 3 I had monitors. I get by now working from home with a single display on a laptop | 01:45 |
| harry_v | ive been using apt for 10 years now | 01:45 |
| Stupendoussteve | Then you should be familiar with it ;) | 01:46 |
| unop | hmm | 01:46 |
| Scunizi | RantingHuman: elinks for the terminal is the easiest for me for web browsing.. also mutt for email tied to gmail's imap | 01:46 |
| harry_v | very | 01:46 |
| RantingHuman | Scunizi: as for surfraw, it's opening my non-default browser... (opera) | 01:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | harry_v: then you should be fairly familiar w/ it | 01:46 |
| LjL | harry_v: ok, but APT wasn't originally intended to be used with RPMs | 01:46 |
| b1n42y | homercycles: ive been looking into note taking apps for my tablet pc basket wasnt it but it should be good for you alternativley google mind mapping, note organising linux... but i think youll like basket | 01:46 |
| LjL | harry_v: APT is intended to be used with Debian packages, and that's what Ubuntu employs | 01:46 |
| b1n42y | ok tennis time good luck all | 01:46 |
| Scunizi | RantingHuman: yea.. you can change the config to revert to terminal browsers if you want... fast search though. | 01:47 |
| stevetarot | what does Memtest86+ do? | 01:47 |
| Scunizi | ActionParsnip: so you've been there.. maybe I'll get over my A.D.D. with dual monitors some day too :) | 01:47 |
| homercycles | b1n42y: I considered Tomboy but it's just a bit too basic, I think | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: sure its convenient, but for the price of the extra monitors I can go on a holiday to experience new cultures and broaden my horizons, which would you choose? | 01:47 |
| Stupendoussteve | stevetarot: Tests the ram, not needed in most cases and is very time consuming | 01:47 |
| Scunizi | stevetarot: checks you ram for errors | 01:47 |
| stevetarot | thanks | 01:48 |
| stevetarot | yeah its taking forever | 01:48 |
| Scunizi | ActionParsnip: $79 us.. for a 17 inch.. all I really need for a secondary | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: i can fly to amsterdam for 4 UD | 01:48 |
| Stupendoussteve | stevetarot: You only need to run it if you suspect your memory has issues, if you have never had a problem with the system then there's not much reason to use it | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | *USD | 01:48 |
| harry_v | using linux since the days of slackware | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: so i'd rather get educatated than have some poxy monitor, life is too short dude, you need to get out of the house | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: your pc and displays may be a billion times awesome than mine but im sure as hell ive seen a lot more of the world | 01:50 |
| CaptainMorgan | !wan | 01:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wan | 01:50 |
| CaptainMorgan | anyone know how to spit out my external wan address from the command line? | 01:50 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | ActionParsnip: if you can fly to Amsterdam, do so | 01:50 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | it's a bit chilly here, but I'll buy you a beer =) | 01:51 |
| gareth_ | hello all was wondering if any one could give me pointers on setting up a samba share for a virtual machine running in vmware server to accesse | 01:51 |
| felixsulla | What is a program that tracks how much time you spend in each application? | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Iceman_B^Ltop: i have as well as a tonne of other places | 01:51 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | nice, I want to be able to do that as well | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Iceman_B^Ltop: thing is I probably actually need a few displays more but i choose to sacrifiice to get myself around the world | 01:52 |
| MightyTweek | CaptainMorgan: What do you mean by your external WAN address exactly? Are you talking about the IP address of your router? | 01:52 |
| Stupendoussteve | A large display isn't much use when traveling anyway ;) | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Iceman_B^Ltop: my whole job is connecting to servers in america from the UK | 01:52 |
| CaptainMorgan | MightyTweek, yea | 01:52 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | ActionParsnip: hmm, well, I'm confused. I'd say a monitor costs less than the average ticket that will fly you across the globe, no ? | 01:53 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | also ontopic: "sudo aptitude install" says there are 10 updates, how do I install them ? | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Iceman_B^Ltop: wel then im saving. but no a monitor cost way more than a ticket | 01:53 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | ...what kind of monitor are we talking here? | 01:54 |
| sladjan | irc.freenode.net | 01:54 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | how much is you average 20" lcd ? | 01:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Iceman_B^Ltop: i can fly to germany for about 10 GBP or 17 USD | 01:54 |
| CaptainMorgan | MightyTweek, any idea? | 01:54 |
| Stupendoussteve | Fly to Los Angeles, it'll cost a lot more than a monitor, and cover more of the world | 01:55 |
| MightyTweek | CaptainMorgan: I don't know of a simple way to do that without say, having some web host report back what IP your request came from | 01:55 |
| unr3a1 | hey all | 01:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Iceman_B^Ltop: pretty cheap, I can experience gemany or buy a monitor and sit in my office, choices eh... | 01:55 |
| unr3a1 | how do I change the name of my computer? | 01:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !hostname | unr3a1 | 01:55 |

Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab | 01:55 |

| ubottu | stevetarot, please see my private message | 01:57 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | anyone know how to install all the updates for my system from the terminal ? | 01:57 |
| unop | stevetarot, yes | 01:57 |
| homercycles | b1n42y: I found a nice and simple, light-weight, one written using GTK called "notecase" which has a nice and simple node/sub-node thingy on the left and a textarea to the right. Just what I wanted. Your suggestion of basket lead me to this, so thanks | 01:57 |
| Royall | Cannot stat /media/[re]drive: Input/output error | 01:57 |
| CaptainMorgan | n8tuser, wth? if I wanted to do that I would- I helping someone remotely through their use of a terminal | 01:58 |
| yoyoned1 | Iceman_B sudo aptitude update;sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 01:58 |
| unop | homercycles, if you want a wiki on your desktop - there's zim - it's also nice and simple, quite lightweight too | 01:59 |
| n8tuser | CaptainMorgan -> hey look you were not clear on your question, I said if it was you here chatting on irc, you do that command, | 01:59 |
| CaptainMorgan | n8tuser, sorry, but I was pretty clear- I said, "from the command line" | 01:59 |
| Stupendoussteve | CaptainMorgan: wget is run from the command line | 01:59 |
| CaptainMorgan | n8tuser, of course I could use that from here, but that wasn't the question | 01:59 |
| CaptainMorgan | Stupendoussteve, thank you, that worked fine, cheers | 01:59 |

| Roy_M | hi, I just inserted an unformatted micro sd card into my machine. How do I tell which device it is in /dev/ as there are hundreds | 02:00 |
| stevetarot | is it better to install nvidia drivers via virtual package or download from nvidia's website | 02:00 |
| Royall | prince_jammys: Cannot stat /media/[re]drive: Input/output error | 02:00 |
| prince_jammys | Royall: hm. that's not nice | 02:00 |
| Stupendoussteve | CaptainMorgan: I didn't notice you were upset about the whois, or whatever. Thought it was your other question. Disregard me :D | 02:00 |
| Royall | that it isn't | 02:00 |
| bobg | Question: Website on Firefox wants me to download "Flash Player" Is it compatable or just for Windoze? | 02:01 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | yoyoned1: thanks | 02:01 |
| unop | homercycles, i'm against the idea of newsletters :) | 02:01 |
| Stupendoussteve | bobg: There is flashplayer for linux | 02:01 |
| LjL | !flash > bobg (bobg, see the private message from ubottu) | 02:01 |
| yoyoned1 | Roy_M: look in the last few lines of dmesg | 02:01 |
| CaptainMorgan | Stupendoussteve, not upset, don't take it the wrong way, wget is sufficient, thank you. | 02:01 |
| homercycles | unop: one that isn't based on dead-tree, of course | 02:01 |
| bobg | LjL: where can I find it? | 02:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !flash | bobg | 02:02 |
| ubottu | bobg: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 02:02 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | I think ebox broke my machine's internet connectin | 02:02 |
| Royall | Isn't there a way to "killall using xxxxx directory"? | 02:02 |
| the_rar | how can i change the text terminal screen settings? | 02:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Royall: ps -ef | grep <directory> | 02:02 |
| Akuma | is there any way to specify on the command line which workspace I want my application to execute on? | 02:02 |
| Akuma | in gnome | 02:03 |
| funkycat90210 | what's the best way to manage iptables on an ubuntu server? i just want to set 'em then have the rules load up ubon boot | 02:03 |
| ActionParsnip | funkycat90210: there is no best | 02:03 |
| prince_jammys | Royall: the command i gave does it | 02:03 |
| yoyoned1 | the_rar: what specificlly do you want to change | 02:03 |
| fearful | the_rar, right click inside the terminal and go to Profiles > Profile Preferences | 02:03 |
| ActionParsnip | !iptables | funkycat90210 | 02:03 |
| ubottu | funkycat90210: 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). | 02:03 |
| prince_jammys | Royall: does exactly that | 02:03 |
| Royall | Neither worked | 02:03 |
| n8tuser | funkycat90210 -> iptables-save ? | 02:03 |
| stevetarot | do i have to be online to install a virtual package in ubuntu shell? | 02:03 |
| Royall | Well actually | 02:03 |
| funkycat90210 | ActionParsnip: on centos/redhat, which is what i come from, they provide a neat /etc/init.d script that saves the state upon iptables save, then those are applied at boot | 02:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !firestarter | funkycat90210 | 02:04 |
| funkycat90210 | yeah iptables-save | 02:04 |
| Royall | ActionParsnip's one didn't bring up an error | 02:04 |
| Roy_M | yoyoned1, thanks, I am getting a few funny error messages like "sd 9:0:0:1: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery" | 02:04 |
| Royall | But I still can't delete the directory | 02:04 |
| Royall | rmdir: failed to remove `/media/[re]drive': Device or resource busy | 02:04 |
| the_rar | yoyoned1, the terminal 'outside' of the X session.. i want smaller chars | 02:04 |
| Royall | Even after te ps -ef | 02:04 |
| funkycat90210 | aptitude search doesnt show iptables-save | 02:04 |
| ActionParsnip | funkycat90210: one you configure iptables it sticks | 02:04 |
| oDesk | hello, i'm using lynx and there is form with <button> tag.. it's not clickable.. how i submit the form ? | 02:04 |
| funkycat90210 | oh i have iptables-save already | 02:05 |
| yoyoned1 | the_rar: the options you need to set are at boot time. add something like "vga=773" to the end of the kernel line in grub | 02:05 |
| oDesk | i dont seem to find a help from google | 02:05 |
| unop | Akuma, have a look at wmctrl | 02:05 |
| homercycles | unop: yep, zim is perfection itself. Where has it been all my life. thank you again :-) | 02:05 |
| char00les | can some one help me out and explain why this word is highlighted when i am on the terminal (screenshot http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/9963/screenshothelp.png)? | 02:05 |
| Akuma | unop: | 02:05 |
| Akuma | ok | 02:05 |
| Akuma | oops | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Royall: sudo umount /[re]drive | 02:06 |
| Royall | -_- that seems to have done it | 02:06 |
| char00les | how do you make it unhighlighted? | 02:06 |
| Royall | Now I'm plugging back in the actual external | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Royall: you need to umount the mount oint first] | 02:07 |

| ActionParsnip | Royall: whatever, sudo umount it | 02:07 |
| _ryker | clear | 02:08 |
| ActionParsnip | bobg: whats this warning about amd chips? | 02:08 |
| _ryker | whoops lol | 02:08 |

| Royall | thanks y'all | 02:08 |
| _ryker | hey guys, my router assigns my computer an ip, but i need it to assign the same ip every time, any ideas? | 02:08 |
| oDesk | um.. any possible answer or it's not possible ? | 02:08 |
| ActionParsnip | _ryker: you can set static ip in /etc/network/interfacses | 02:09 |
| MightyTweek | char00les: It's because your .bashrc file has an alias in it to make "ls" color code directory entries by their type | 02:09 |
| unop | Akuma, have a look at the script at the bottom of this page - http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Keyboard_shortcuts#Using_wmctrl | 02:09 |

| _ryker | ActionParsnip: tried that, then the networking didn't work O.o | 02:09 |
| bazhang | oDesk, its java? | 02:09 |
| oDesk | no php website | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | _ryker: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ | 02:10 |
| oDesk | bazhang: lynx will not render the [BUTTON] | 02:10 |
| ThePass | Ups :) | 02:10 |
| Akuma | unop: thanks, I don't think it'll work though... I'm using compiz | 02:10 |
| n8tuser | _ryker -> pretty much should be same in the next acquisition, look for the leases in /var/lib/dhcp | 02:10 |
| Akuma | I did wmctrl -d, and it only displays one desktop | 02:10 |
| donavan01 | anyone know if doing a minimal install will include the wifi drivers? | 02:11 |
| unop | Akuma, ahh - guess you'll have to ask the compiz folks then | 02:11 |

| roku | Hey, I need some help guys. I just installed ubuntu 8.04 on to my friends PC, and I'm having to boot with the "noapic" option. | 02:12 |
| stevetarot | when installing nvidia video driver do I install it from user or root? | 02:12 |
| fearful | stevetarot, root | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | roku: noapic option???????? sounds a little familur | 02:12 |
| roku | But once the ubuntu bar finishes loading, it comes to a black screen saying "busybox v1.1.3 blah blah, (initramfs)" | 02:13 |
| stevetarot | noapic=off | 02:13 |
| stevetarot | wait nevermind | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | roku: you installed with Wubi? | 02:13 |
| roku | Eh... No? | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | !busybox | 02:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about busybox | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | roku: how much RAM? | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | roku: how old is the computeR? | 02:14 |
| unop | donavan01, probably not | 02:14 |
| roku | I just Not sure... | 02:14 |
| roku | I'm not sure. | 02:14 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | does anyone know if it's possible to remove eBox and have my system return to its original configuration before I installed ebox? | 02:14 |
| roku | I know the computer can NOT handle Windows 7 or vista. | 02:14 |
| stevetarot | anyone familiar with installing nvidia drivers via shell? its wanting to install the nvidia-kernel is that ok? | 02:14 |
| roku | But it ran XP great. | 02:14 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | it broke my network configurration | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | roku: sounds like maybe the issue this American woman had, but that was Grub issue | 02:14 |
| _ryker | n8tuser: the files in there are empty | 02:14 |
| _ryker | ActionParsnip: nope, not helping | 02:15 |
| roku | ? | 02:15 |
| donavan01 | unop: yeah thats what I figured thanks | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | roku: noapic sounds familur | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | roku: and you said that was Grub? | 02:16 |
| roku | Grub? | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | roku: the boot loader | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | roku: which boots up Ubuntu | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | !grub | 02:16 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 02:16 |
| pestilence | flashplugin-nonfree crashes like crazy for me in intreped amd64...is this a common problem? | 02:16 |
| n8tuser | _ryker -> files in /var/lib/dhcp3 ? | 02:16 |
| Pici | roku: What made you add the noapic option? | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | Pici: ah ha you know what noapic is? what is it? | 02:17 |
| _ryker | yeah, n8tuser | 02:17 |
| roku | When it boots, it comes to a black screen with text that suggests it. | 02:17 |
| n8tuser | _ryker -> are you using dhclient ? | 02:17 |
| _ryker | eh? n8tuser | 02:17 |
| Pici | sebsebseb: Its a compatibility option for booting the kernel. | 02:17 |
| azlon | ok, i used mkisofs to create an ISO of my system... what command do i use to extract the ISO back to my computer when i need to restore? | 02:17 |
| BSG | I'm having a problem with my eee pc 900, the webcam, and flash in eeebuntu. You can read more specifically about my problem here. Thanks, http://forum.eeebuntu.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1794 | 02:17 |
| n8tuser | _ryker -> how are you acquiring your ip address now ? | 02:17 |
| donavan01 | let me ask this anyone know a good build that will work on my EEE ... I tied easypeasy but I hated what ever the desktop manager was that they used ... I want a stripped down distro but still have the basic stuff like drivers and a decent desktop manger | 02:18 |
| n8tuser | azlon -> mount it and then copy it over | 02:18 |
| _ryker | okay heres what i did, it was working fine with network manager, but i didnt want to use network manager. so i removed it, and set up my connection in /etc/network/interfaces, n8tuser | 02:18 |
| pestilence | azlon: you can mount it using "sudo mount -o loop filename.iso" | 02:18 |
| azlon | btw, i use -split-output... how can i ensure all the splits are extracted back to my HDD? | 02:18 |
| funkycat90210 | well i have iptables-restore in rc.local, but since bootup time is 37 secs it should be ok | 02:18 |
| n8tuser | _ryker -> can you post your interfaces file? | 02:18 |
| azlon | pestilence: can i do that if it is split? im not sure what -o loop does | 02:18 |
| BSG | donavan01: eeebuntu is great | 02:18 |
| BSG | I love it | 02:18 |
| h4x0r | depend what system are you are usning | 02:19 |
| BSG | I'm using that as we speak | 02:19 |
| h4x0r | why do you need to know your iop | 02:19 |
| h4x0r | ip | 02:19 |
| pestilence | azlon: -o loop tells it to mount it using the loopback device, it just tells mount that the iso isn't a physical device | 02:19 |
| h4x0r | are you tring to connecyt to anothger sysea\ | 02:19 |
| === andre is now known as Guest37564 | ||
| pestilence | azlon: so, it depends on what you mean by split | 02:19 |
| n8tuser | azlon -> if you split the output to diff files, then you wont be able to mount it correctly | 02:19 |
| Pici | roku: Try changing the 'noapic' option to 'all_generic_ide' and try again. | 02:19 |
| donavan01 | BSG: will it work fine on a 900A (got the atom cpu but only 1 gb SSD) | 02:19 |
| BSG | It'll work better for you than it does for me | 02:20 |
| donavan01 | BSD sorry 4gb | 02:20 |
| BSG | I'm on the first gen 900 | 02:20 |
| azlon | n8tuser: i couldnt use one single file becuase it would be larger than 4gb and the external drive is FAT32 | 02:20 |
| BSG | G | 02:20 |
| BSG | not D | 02:20 |
| roku | trying it. | 02:20 |
| roku | Nope. | 02:20 |
| donavan01 | BSG ... my bad | 02:20 |
| pestilence | azlon: why are you backing up to an iso? | 02:21 |
| _ryker | n8tuser: http://pastebin.ca/1349251 | 02:21 |
| pestilence | azlon: that seems like a unsustainable backup solution | 02:21 |
| roku | "Starting up ... [ 35.109324] ..MP-BIOS bug : 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC | 02:21 |
| azlon | pestilence: this is what i used for a test: sudo mkisofs -split-output -input-charset default -l -o /media/WD\ Passport/backup.iso /media/WD\ Passport/misc | 02:21 |
| n8tuser | azlon then you should have to manage it more carefully | 02:21 |
| azlon | pestilence: what should i use? | 02:21 |
| donavan01 | BSG any recommendations on which variation to go with ? | 02:21 |
| Pici | roku: Okay, try doing: noapic nolapic instead | 02:22 |
| roku | k. | 02:22 |
| BSG | The standard works great for me | 02:22 |
| Pici | roku: Is this a Dell? | 02:22 |
| BSG | But I'm not really familiar with the differences | 02:22 |
| BSG | You may want to do more research | 02:22 |
| n8tuser | _ryker -> you have a static address assignment so what is the issue? | 02:22 |
| BSG | Check their forums, its a common question I'm sure | 02:22 |
| BSG | Or the FAQ | 02:22 |
| roku | I'm not really sure. | 02:22 |
| pestilence | azlon: ah, so it creates multiple .iso's? (btw, you should test reading from your backups now, not when you are in need of them) | 02:22 |
| _ryker | n8tuser: the connection is not working anymore, even though it should, and it worked fine under nm | 02:22 |
| roku | Some guy named corky made it, pretty much. | 02:22 |
| wolfwalker | I have a file I want to copy to usr/share/xsessions. I'm a know-nothing. How do I copy it under the proper authority? | 02:22 |
| jediwork_ | i was runnning ubuntu just fine on this laptop and for some reason the system started crashing / swaping like crazy a little while ago and after letting it run like that for 10-15 minutes i decided to just power down the machine. Now when i try to to boot, its trying to restore a hibernation state from before, but keeps failing and i have no idea how to force it to just boot up normally and disregard the hibernation info ... also 'safe mode' | 02:23 |
| wolfwalker | Running Ubuntu Hardy | 02:23 |
| pestilence | azlon: i highly recommend some utilization of "rsync" | 02:23 |
| roku | So... I'm sure my friend is getting useless franken PCs and from a guy named Corky. | 02:23 |
| oDesk | seems no way to hit the [BUTTON] over lynx | 02:23 |
| azlon | pestilence: i am trying to test it now, but not sure how to read them :\ | 02:23 |
| pestilence | azlon: because rsync can speed up subsequent backups dramatically | 02:23 |
| donavan01 | BSG: I think I may just download all of them and see what they look like ... time consuming but at least im sure Ive got what I want | 02:23 |
| BSG | Right | 02:23 |
| roku | I mean... I don't think people named corky can be trusted. | 02:23 |
| n8tuser | _ryker -> thats because you dont have the correct configs, man iwconfig to include the AP essid and whatever else is needed | 02:23 |
| azlon | pestilence: just search package manaager? | 02:23 |
| BSG | They all function differently, and you might not discover the differences until you get deeper into using them | 02:23 |
| pestilence | azlon: whereas if you make iso's, you will have to backup the entire drive everytime you want to update your backup | 02:24 |
| BSG | I might give them each a weak of use | 02:24 |
| pestilence | azlon: sudo aptitude install rsync | 02:24 |

| BSG | No problem | 02:26 |
| pestilence | !sudo | 02:26 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 02:26 |
| fearful | wolfwalker, through the terminal or nautilus | 02:26 |
| felixsulla | What do you use to track how much time you spend in each application? | 02:26 |
| o0splitpaw0o | fearful: I migrating files over, and like to change the file permissions to the folders, & there contents with a quick command or need a option flag someone might know | 02:26 |
| wolfwalker | How do you copy it through the terminal? I don't know much about command lines. | 02:27 |
| wolfwalker | I know append "sudo" to the first of the command | 02:27 |
| roku | "ata_id[6309] : main: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/.tmp-8-0' " | 02:27 |
| n8tuser | wolfwalker -> those are owned by root, so have the root priviledge via sudo | 02:27 |
| sancho21_ | I use ubuntu 8.10. My Kate suddenly does not respond to keyboard. | 02:27 |

| xun911 | hello, very often that i couldn't select which window to type using mouse(keyboad focus got stuck on the previous window), does anyone else experience this problem? | 02:39 |
| cwortman | You can use it for just dual booting 2 versions of Linux and Windows if need be and it is all pretty amazing | 02:40 |
| hmw | Xamusk - makes it hard to decide, if I should congratulate you. | 02:40 |
| o0splitpaw0o | fearful: That worked! chmod -R 755 /direcory | 02:40 |
| Xamusk | hmw, this time I had the terminals tailing kern.log and messages in /var/log... nothing there | 02:40 |
| fearful | o0splitpaw0o, nice :p | 02:40 |
| redvamp128 | taylor_: right click on the task bar -- choose add to panel -- then choose the Notification Area (that is probably what you closed/removed) | 02:40 |
| Xamusk | hmw, also I ran memtest86... nothing there either | 02:40 |
| Scunizi | xun911: nope.. but maybe compiz is interfearing turn it off and test | 02:40 |
| huwenfeng | does anyone using Ubuntu on HP 6530s? | 02:41 |
| xun911 | Scunizi, the only way i could fix it is to restart xorg, but let me try reload compiz now | 02:41 |
| hmw | Xamusk - I meant you to look at the logs for a longer period of time. Maybe the lockups are caused by some apparently innocent program. With the tails, you might be able to figure out, who is the evildoer. | 02:41 |

| Xamusk | hmw, the only thing I find unusual there are some messages like: CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 22500 nsec | 02:42 |
| hmw | Xamusk - it's always a big problem, if a failure happens that rarely. You might consider reinstalling. | 02:42 |
| xun911 | Scunizi, that does not seem to fix the problem. i think it's xorg, but I hate to having to restart all my apps because of this. it happens so often | 02:42 |

| jpadron | fearful, let me try | 03:11 |
| Extreme_b | hi guys, will like to make ask if anyone has encountered this before. i installed ubuntu server 8.04 on my ibm x3650. because my server is not connected to the internet, so i did not use the network to get the package files from repository. Therefore, i went online to download the packages and burn it on my CD. When i put the CD into the cd rom and tried the command on the command "cd /media/cdrom0" then i type in the "dir" .. but there isn't any files | 03:11 |
| pestilence | JosephLinkous: ugh. the flags are wrong. so, the question becomes...how did you setup the network? | 03:11 |
| mib_s50thheo | unop: no such file or directory seems like ill need to mkdir | 03:11 |
| JosephLinkous | pestilence: auto-detect dhcp during the installer | 03:11 |
| pestilence | oh, and the netmask is wrong too. | 03:11 |
| unop | mib_s50thheo, are you sure you got the right name? and that sounds like a file not a directory | 03:12 |
| jpadron | fearful, xchat is not cli, Im sshing to a remote PC and accessing from there | 03:12 |
| pestilence | JosephLinkous: have you rebooted the machine? | 03:12 |

| JosephLinkous | pestilence: I don't know. Will I need to add that every time? If so, is there a startup script I can add that command to? | 03:20 |
| akuwa | Is there a reason why a computer running Ubuntu 7.x couldn't run 8.10? | 03:20 |

| storbeck | akuwa: Sure | 03:20 |
| cdm10 | akuwa: I see things like this a lot... sometimes hardware is finicky like that :-/ | 03:20 |
| JosephLinkous | pestilence: I think it might be set to static IP already | 03:20 |
| pestilence | JosephLinkous: ahh. that probably explains it :) | 03:21 |
| cdm10 | akuwa: the system requirements could also have changed, but they don't change much, so I'm guessing it's some driver incompatibility. | 03:21 |
| cdm10 | akuwa: what doesn't work? | 03:21 |
| JosephLinkous | pestilence: Yeah... | 03:21 |
| pestilence | JosephLinkous: you just need to add the gateway info to that config file. probably /etc/network/interfaces | 03:21 |

| Conor1313 | Hi everyone, I have an HP Pavillion Desktop PC and I can only connect to wireless when in the same room as my router, I believe the Wireless chip is intel and integrated into my computer, which type of driver or software would I need to get the wireless working in a different room? | 03:22 |
| storbeck | Or rather /media/cdrom .. or wherever it is | 03:22 |
| Extreme_b | storbeck: ok i'll try it now | 03:22 |
| akuwa | Oh, it's very old, only 128MB. | 03:22 |
| cdm10 | _ryker: unfortunately, the keyring password is identical to the login password, which is what makes it only require a password once... but it does need it that one time. | 03:22 |
| cdm10 | akuwa: that's lower than the published system requirements -- you can try the Alternate install CD. | 03:23 |
| storbeck | Conor1313: If your wireless is working, then you're issue is not the drivers | 03:23 |
| unop | Jim1215, well, if /etc/rc2.d/ does not have a link pointing to /etc/init.d/bind9, yes .. it's the files in /etc/rc?.d that matter not the ones in /etc/init.d | 03:23 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | um, HALP. I just typed "sudo aptitude remove ebox" and I get a question about removing package and a score: "Score is -1228" | 03:23 |
| cdm10 | _ryker: you could try setting the keyring password to blank, but I've never tried it and I'm not sure if it will work. | 03:23 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | what does the signify ? | 03:23 |
| akuwa | Ah! I'm sorry, I should have specified- I am using the alternate CD. | 03:23 |
| _ryker | ah | 03:23 |
| brhoward | i'm having trouble installing VIA graphics card drivers on ubuntu | 03:23 |
| cdm10 | Iceman_B^Ltop: it means it would break dependencies in the package management system. | 03:23 |
| Conor1313 | storbeck: what would the issue be? It only picks up signal if im a few feet from my router | 03:23 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | cdm10: what if I want to remove all said packaged? | 03:24 |
| storbeck | Conor1313: You need to set the Tx | 03:24 |
| BSG | thanks redvamp128 | 03:24 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | thereby eliminating that problem ? | 03:24 |
| cdm10 | Iceman_B^Ltop: as long as its suggestion is agreeable to you, go ahead and accept it... as long as you're sure the removal of those packages won't break anything. | 03:24 |
| Conor1313 | Storbeck: Im a bit new to this, what is Tx? | 03:24 |
| Extreme_b | storbeck: it gives me an error saying mount:block device /dev/scd0 is write protected, mounting read only | 03:24 |
| Jim1215 | unop, yes. there is a symbolic file called S15bind9 points to /etc/init.d/bind9 | 03:25 |
| _ryker | cdm10: trying the empty thing | 03:25 |
| cdm10 | akuwa: oh... I'm not sure what the requirements for that are, then. Personally, I'd recommend upgrading the system -- RAM is pretty cheap now. I'm not sure what else there is to do, except installing an older version and doing online upgrades until it's at the latest version, which has problems of its own. | 03:25 |
| cdm10 | _ryker: alright, tell me how that goes | 03:25 |
| n8tuser | _ryker -> i stepped out, did you try sudo ifdown wlan0; sudo ifup wlan0 ? | 03:25 |
| _ryker | n8tuser: i ended up reinstalling network-manager and setting the static details using that, and it worked fine | 03:26 |
| stroyan | Conor1313: Perhaps you have a lot of interference from another source. You may get better range by changing the wifi channel at your router. | 03:26 |
| akuwa | Ha- well, I can install an older version, but the computer doesn't have a network card, so upgrades would be complicated. | 03:26 |
| cdm10 | akuwa: ouch :-/ | 03:26 |
| storbeck | Conor1313: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Wireless_FAQ | 03:26 |
| cdm10 | n8tuser: the problem is that when autologin is used, the system isn't supplied with a password to unlock the keyring, so it still asks for a password to grab the wireless key from storage. | 03:26 |
| Conor1313 | stroyan: The thing is though, i have 2 other laptops which both pick up the signal just fine | 03:26 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | cdm10: yeah, i'm removing all those packages, ebox is WAY too heavy for what I need, I'll go with phpsysinfo | 03:26 |
| unop | Jim1215, then bind9 is failing to start at that point - maybe because networking is not setup at that point? have a look in the log files in /var/log to find out why | 03:26 |
| akuwa | Which version would you suggest I install? I'm not very familiar with Linux, I work with it only briefly in school servers, so a console is not a good idea for me. | 03:27 |
| n8tuser | cdm10 -> the key can be inserted there on that interfaces file | 03:27 |
| cdm10 | Iceman_B^Ltop: not familiar with any of that software, but you seem to know what you're doing. | 03:27 |
| Extreme_b | <Extreme_b> storbeck: it gives me an error saying mount:block device /dev/scd0 is write protected, mounting read only | 03:27 |
| cdm10 | n8tuser: does that still work if he's using networkmanager? If so, then you should help him, not me :) | 03:27 |

| cdm10 | _ryker: cool :) | 03:31 |
| d_rugs420 | anyone have a problem with firebug crashing firefox? | 03:31 |
| storbeck | iwconfig ath0 txpower 30mW | 03:31 |
| BSG | thanks | 03:31 |
| unop | Extreme_b, that's just a warning to say - it's mounting the CD-ROM as read-only because you cannot obviously write to it .. the device should be mounted now | 03:32 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: Ubuntu -- Details of package flashplugin-nonfree in hardy-updates <http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/web/flashplugin-nonfree> Ignore the hardy part (but first uninstall your flash 10 from synaptic package manager) | 03:32 |
| azlon_ | cdm10: so i would want /mount/WD\ Passport? | 03:32 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: right... dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mount/WD\ Passport/sda1.bin | 03:32 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: and when it says there is an updated version -- ignore that part | 03:32 |
| BSG | already done the uninstall | 03:32 |
| azlon_ | cdm10: thanks! | 03:32 |
| Extreme_b | <Extreme_b> storbeck: thanks alot .. solve | 03:32 |
| Kijutsu_ | I just use apt-get to install eggdrop.. where the heck did it put it? | 03:32 |
| redvamp128 | BSG see my pm | 03:32 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: no problem | 03:33 |
| storbeck | Kijutsu_: locate eggdrop | 03:33 |
| Kijutsu_ | storbeck, returns nothing | 03:33 |
| azlon_ | cdm10: dd: opening `/mount/WD Passport/sda1.bin': No such file or directory | 03:33 |
| storbeck | type: which eggdrop | 03:33 |
| azlon_ | cdm10: i put a \ for the space in the WD Passport | 03:33 |
| Conor1313 | storbeck: so I just change the number in " iwconfig eth0 txpower 15" ? | 03:33 |
| storbeck | Conor1313: Yep | 03:33 |
| storbeck | Obviously change eth0 do you wifi interface though | 03:34 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: are you sure it isn't /media rather than /mount? | 03:34 |
| storbeck | to your* | 03:34 |
| azlon_ | cdm10: this is what my df gives me: /dev/sdb1 233G 83G 151G 36% /media/WD Passport | 03:34 |
| Kijutsu_ | storbeck, where's the associated files for it, botchk, script directory, etc? | 03:34 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: see, it's /media, not /mount :) | 03:34 |
| storbeck | Kijutsu_: find / -name eggdrop | 03:34 |
| azlon_ | cdm10: crap, my bad | 03:34 |
| Jim1215 | unop, there are several error messages in my syslog file. the one has keyword "bind" is like this: bind() fd 18, family 10, port 123, scope 2, addr fe80::213:d4ff:fed3:8f33, in6_is_addr_multicast=0 flags=0x11 fails: Cannot assign requested address. is that the problem? | 03:34 |
| Conor1313 | storbeck: Alright, Im going to move my desktop and try that out. Would 30 be a good number? Or just trial and error? | 03:34 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: not a problem. | 03:34 |
| storbeck | Conor1313: Should be good | 03:34 |
| storbeck | Mine is set at 15 dBm | 03:35 |
| Kijutsu_ | storbeck, there she is.. thanks much :) | 03:35 |
| Conor1313 | storbeck: Thank you, Ill try that right now | 03:35 |
| storbeck | np, np | 03:35 |
| azlon_ | cdm10: will this create a bit for bit? i was using mkisofs but that makes a file the size of the HDD. for example, if i had a 4 GB HDD but only used 2 GB of it, it would make a 4 GB ISO... will dd do the same? | 03:35 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: any luck? | 03:36 |
| natek | #ubuntuforums-beginners | 03:36 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: yep, it will. What filesystem are you using? There are tools that can be smarter about it. | 03:36 |
| natek | ok i am really new to this, how to i connect to #ubuntuforums-beginners | 03:36 |
| natek | ? | 03:36 |
| n8tuser | azlon_ -> dd is bit for bit -- you can specify bs for block size, man dd please | 03:36 |
| azlon_ | cdm10: i ext2 and the external HDD is FAT32 | 03:36 |
| storbeck | azlon_: Are you trying to make a livecd? | 03:36 |
| BSG | redvamp128: that has a file for debian in it | 03:37 |
| BSG | Oddly | 03:37 |
| azlon_ | storbeck: i would like to do that eventually... but right now i would just like to have a backup of my system... this is perfect for formatting and using this | 03:37 |
| BSG | Would you ty downloading it to see if I'm crazy? | 03:37 |
| BSG | try | 03:37 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: hmm, I think there's something that'll work for that but I'm forgetting the name. | 03:37 |
| storbeck | azlon_: You should not use ext2 for your main filesystem | 03:37 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: 64 bit or 32bit? | 03:38 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: aha, it's called partimage. | 03:38 |
| Conor1313 | Storbeck: It wouldnt let me edit, it was just a manual? How would I edit the number? | 03:38 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: it will download a .deb file -- then you install it from that.. | 03:38 |
| azlon_ | storbeck: really? i just installed based on a tutorial i found for putting ubuntu on mini 9 | 03:38 |
| BSG | I'm x86 | 03:38 |
| azlon_ | storbeck: what should i use? | 03:38 |
| storbeck | You should use ext3 | 03:38 |
| azlon_ | cdm10: im looking for that now | 03:38 |
| storbeck | ext2 is only good for /boot | 03:38 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: ext3 would be better... it's easy to convert. | 03:38 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.159.0ubuntu1~hardy1_i386.deb | 03:38 |
| BSG | Sorry for my noobness | 03:39 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: ext3 is identical to ext2 except it has something called a journal, which makes it a lot harder to corrupt the filesystem. | 03:39 |
| storbeck | Using ext2 would make your system really slow | 03:39 |
| cdm10 | storbeck: not true. | 03:39 |
| n8tuser | not true i agree | 03:39 |
| cdm10 | storbeck: it's the same as ext3, without the error-resistance. | 03:39 |
| n8tuser | journalling | 03:39 |
| cdm10 | n8tuser: yep. | 03:39 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: just save that file then once it finishes click on it then it will give you something about there is an updated version (ignore that) then click install | 03:39 |
| azlon_ | ok, well should i convert it before i use partimage? | 03:40 |
| n8tuser | azlon_ -> its okay to make a copy of ext2 and then enable the journalling feature when using it.. | 03:40 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: doesn't really matter whether you do it before or after | 03:40 |
| azlon_ | ok, so how do i either enable journalling or convert to ext3? | 03:41 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: did that link work for you? | 03:42 |
| BSG | Yeah, going to try it now | 03:42 |
| bernz | "azlon_> cdm10: i put a \ for the space in the WD Passport" > not to put too fine a point on it, but i hope you meant you put a backslash-space for the space, not just a backslash ;-) | 03:43 |
| cdm10 | bernz: according to the error message, he did it right. | 03:43 |
| cdm10 | bernz: heh, that sounds weird... but it's true :) | 03:43 |
| azlon_ | bernz: yeah, i put a space :) | 03:43 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: this worked for someone else -- the right click to enable camera was disabled using flash 10 but when he installed 9 it let him enable the camera.-- just ignore the updated version availible -- restart firefox... and it should work | 03:43 |
| bernz | cdm10, azlon_, cool :-) | 03:44 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: it's actually a bit tricky, I think. It requires booting into single-user-mode or using a livecd. I mean, not really tricky, but you might want to look at the instructions and then do it. | 03:44 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: ...I guess that goes without saying, so I'm not sure what I'm trying to say here :) | 03:44 |
| === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk | ||
| azlon_ | cdm10: thanks. i am trying to use partition image, have you ever used it before? | 03:45 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: I've tried it, but never too seriously. | 03:46 |
| === matt is now known as linux_guy | ||
| azlon_ | cdm10: looks like i have to unmount it before i can image it... does this sound about right? | 03:46 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: wait, are you logged into the system you're imaging? That can cause issues -- basically the data will change under the nose of the imager. You might want to do this from a liveCD. | 03:47 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: yep, which you can't do when you're booted from it. | 03:47 |
| konix | french ??? | 03:47 |
| cdm10 | !fr | konix | 03:47 |
| ubottu | konix: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 03:47 |
| azlon_ | cdm10: crap... i dont have a cdrom (mini 9)... i know there is a way to create a bootable thumbdrive, but i dont remember how | 03:47 |
| konix | lol | 03:47 |
| konix | ok | 03:47 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: if you're on 8.10, go to System>Administration>Create a USB Startup Disk | 03:48 |
| azlon_ | bah, that was easy... brb | 03:48 |
| storbeck | cdm10: assuming he's using gnome | 03:48 |
| Conor1313 | Storbeck: Txpower wont go above 12, is that the maximum? | 03:48 |
| cdm10 | storbeck: good point... | 03:48 |
| linux_guy | i have an internal 3.5" hdd sitting on my desk connected to my desktop via an IDE to USB cable. On my laptop, ubuntu will NOT mount the drive because it's NTFS.... On my new desktop installation, it sees the hdd all day. WHAT.... is the difference? | 03:48 |
| storbeck | Conor1313: maybe for your card it is. Mine is by default 15 | 03:48 |
| ballsax | hello all | 03:49 |
| Conor1313 | storbeck: alright, thanks again. | 03:49 |
| storbeck | np | 03:49 |
| cdm10 | linux_guy: are you running the same version of Ubuntu? Ubuntu has supported NTFS for a while... | 03:49 |
| ballsax | im new to linux | 03:49 |
| ballsax | i am running gOS | 03:49 |
| ballsax | have you guys heard of gOS? | 03:49 |
| Scunizi | yes | 03:49 |
| storbeck | !ask | ballsax | 03:49 |
| ubottu | ballsax: 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. :-) | 03:49 |
| ballsax | do you like it? | 03:49 |
| linux_guy | cdm10: 8.10 on both | 03:49 |
| bernz | azlon_, i might not have the whole context here, but if you have a "simple" partition scheme (e.g. very few, or even single), you could split/resize and put your backup image on the newly freed space | 03:49 |
| Scunizi | !ot | ballsax | 03:50 |
| ubottu | ballsax: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 03:50 |
| storbeck | You should not run your entire distro off one partition, bernz | 03:50 |
| ballsax | Hasorry | 03:50 |
| linux_guy | what can i do to make the laptop mount ntfs? | 03:50 |
| cdm10 | linux_guy: do you cleanly unmount the ntfs partition before you attach it to the laptop? | 03:51 |
| cdm10 | storbeck: that's the default install, I don't really see a big problem with it except for special cases | 03:51 |
| BSG | Well, now I can access settings in flash, but my cam is still black | 03:51 |
| linux_guy | yeah | 03:51 |
| cdm10 | bernz: you could, but then it wouldn't protect againts a hard drive crash. | 03:51 |
| BSG | But it detects the cam is installed | 03:51 |
| bernz | storbeck, agreed, though it's likely that some users do that for fear of having to understand partitioning ;-) | 03:51 |
| BSG | I can select usb cam 3 | 03:51 |
| BSG | 2 | 03:51 |
| BSG | er, usb 2.0 cam | 03:51 |
| cdm10 | linux_guy: I"m really not sure... I don't think it has anything to do with it being a laptop. Have you mounted it manually? | 03:51 |
| linux_guy | cdm10: no, im afradi | 03:51 |
| linux_guy | skeeered* | 03:52 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | where does apache normally store it;'s config? | 03:52 |
| azlon_ | bernz: i only have 8GB SSD... im on a netbook playing with linux for the first time | 03:52 |
| storbeck | Iceman_B^Ltop: that's a pretty generic question | 03:52 |
| Scunizi | Iceman_B^Ltop: /etc/apache2 | 03:52 |
| storbeck | Apache has many config files | 03:52 |
| bernz | cdm10, fair enough -- i was interpreting azlon_'s desired usage for the backup was to restore after mangling a "current" install ("sandbox") | 03:52 |
| cdm10 | linux_guy: well, give that a try... do you know how? | 03:52 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | storbeck: hm, okay | 03:53 |
| storbeck | What config file are you looking for? | 03:53 |
| linux_guy | cdm10: yes, its the 'at your own risk | 03:53 |
| linux_guy | part im afraid of | 03:53 |
| cdm10 | bernz: i suppose. That brings a lot more fun stuff into play, though :) | 03:53 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | storbeck: the most main one | 03:53 |
| storbeck | ... | 03:53 |
| cdm10 | linux_guy: do you get an error message when you try to mount it? | 03:53 |
| nathan_406 | I cant open Umbrello | 03:53 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | the one that gets called the first I guess? the one with global options etc | 03:53 |
| linux_guy | cdm10: yes | 03:53 |
| bernz | cdm10, yeah, my suggestions are usually in the "last desperate attempt" category :-) | 03:53 |
| storbeck | httpd.conf? | 03:53 |
| cdm10 | linux_guy: would you mind pasting it? not here, but in a pastebin... | 03:54 |
| pretender | i am going to dual boot ubuntu and XP what is the best partition type to use that will work in both OS's. | 03:54 |
| === ballsax is now known as psilocybin | ||
| Iceman_B^Ltop | storbeck: yeah | 03:54 |
| cdm10 | !paste | linux_guy | 03:54 |
| ubottu | linux_guy: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 03:54 |
| storbeck | Iceman_B^Ltop: find / -name httpd.conf | 03:54 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: That worked for the other guy-- though I think he enabled the camera using 9 then upgraded to 10 (just made sure to use the remember settigns option) and it worked to keep the camera up. | 03:54 |
| nathan_406 | can someone help me open Umbrello. I need to do my homework | 03:54 |
| wolter | how can i omit from a string stuff in front of it? for example, if I wanted to omit something after it i would do something like ${var%<whatever>} | 03:54 |
| storbeck | On all my servers, it's in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf | 03:54 |
| dsdeiz | hi is there a keyboard shortcut to run the terminal? | 03:54 |
| cdm10 | pretender: NTFS is well-supported, fat32 is better-supported but has issues with hard shutdowns and system corruption. | 03:54 |
| storbeck | dsdeiz: You can make a keybind for it | 03:54 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | the first hit says /etc/apache2/httpd.conf | 03:54 |
| cdm10 | dsdeiz: no, but you can assign one... and if you really need a terminal, you can hit ctrl-alt-f1 to get a vtty (alt-f7 to get back) | 03:55 |
| storbeck | Iceman_B^Ltop: Well there you go | 03:55 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | so I guess Scunizi was right :) but yeah | 03:55 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | thanks | 03:55 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: did you get that? | 03:55 |
| * Iceman_B^Ltop fires up an editor | 03:55 | |
| azlon_ | wow, linux is really freaking cool | 03:55 |
| hmw | azlon_: yeah, it is. | 03:55 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | azlon_: yeah, I like being able to use putty to control it remotely | 03:55 |
| azlon_ | im really starting to like this... it gets better after you figure out how to man handle it | 03:55 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | I feel like such a geek ^_^ | 03:55 |
| adred | does i386 version of ubuntu run on amd64 chips? | 03:55 |
| BSG | yes redvamp, I'm going to try installing 10 now | 03:55 |
| bernz | dseiz, i went to System | Prefs | Keyboard shortcuts and set up 'CTRL-ALT-T' for it | 03:55 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: if it helps you can try running lsusb to see which camera it is | 03:56 |
| linux_guy | cdm10: it would take a lot... the laptop is dead, and i'd have to unmount from one and mount to the other... I was really just surprised and interested, wanted to know why | 03:56 |
| storbeck | azlon_: Don't forget about the man pages :) | 03:56 |
| cdm10 | adred: yep, it will. | 03:56 |
| ziroday | adred: yes | 03:56 |
| BSG | it's video2 | 03:56 |
| dsdeiz | hmm, probably just the window thingy mode.. (kinda new at this) | 03:56 |
| azlon_ | storbeck: what are man pages anyway? | 03:56 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: the problem with 10 was the not being able to turn the camera on for the other person | 03:56 |
| storbeck | azlon_: manual pages | 03:56 |
| cdm10 | linux_guy: it sounds a lot like the "you forgot to cleanly unmount it" message | 03:56 |
| dsdeiz | may i ask how to make a keybind? | 03:56 |
| linux_guy | cdm10: i thought linux only worked with FAT style, ext3/4 systems | 03:56 |
| adred | cdm10 ziroday: thanks | 03:56 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: say "man whatever" and it'll tell you about whatever | 03:56 |
| storbeck | azlon_: type: man bash | 03:56 |
| bernz | dsdeiz, see dseiz... above | 03:56 |
| cdm10 | linux_guy: it now supports NTFS pretty well. | 03:56 |
| azlon_ | man bash | 03:56 |
| azlon_ | oh | 03:56 |
| storbeck | Not in irc.. | 03:56 |
| azlon_ | stupid... in terminal | 03:56 |
| linux_guy | cdm10: i see. it was a pleasant surprise | 03:56 |
| linux_guy | ok gotta run | 03:57 |
| linux_guy | THANKS! | 03:57 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | oh, a question to the masses, would you say its better to always operate within a SCREEN when logged in remotely ? | 03:57 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: I just wish adobe would listen to the bug reports-- I had the same issue when I ran Intrepid -- but I reinstalled 8.04 (hardy) and I don't have that issue | 03:57 |
| nathan_406 | is there a chat room for Umbrello cuz i want help running it | 03:57 |
| storbeck | Iceman_B^Ltop: no | 03:57 |
| storbeck | It depends on what you're doing | 03:57 |
| Scunizi | azlon_: you could do it in terminal with /exec man bash | 03:57 |
| dsdeiz | oh, tnx bernz | 03:57 |
| BSG | I wonder if I should do that with the EEE pc? | 03:57 |
| === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz | ||
| Scunizi | azlon_: doh.. in irc | 03:57 |
| BSG | eeebuntu has a hardy version I believe | 03:57 |
| azlon_ | Scunizi: thanks | 03:58 |
| ziroday | nathan_406: well the site recommends you do sudo apt-get install umbrello-kde4 | 03:58 |
| storbeck | Scunizi: That depends on what irc client he's on | 03:58 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | well, like just now, I was running the find command, but I guess it took a while before it was finished. if I was running that within a screen, I could detach and continue working. | 03:58 |
| bernz | Iceman_B, things are almost never "always", but yes :-) it offers the benefit of keeping certain stuff "happy" in your "absence" (e.g. cleaners yank the cables) | 03:58 |
| Scunizi | storbeck: true.. | 03:58 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: that is your call -- but at least now the camera is enabled | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | Can Ubuntu be installed on a WII? | 03:58 |
| storbeck | lol @ sebsebseb | 03:58 |
| azlon_ | storbeck: im using chatzilla... a firefox plugin... i know i need another one | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | storbeck: heh yeah I didn't think so | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | storbeck: ,but it can on an Xbox | 03:59 |
| storbeck | azlon_: use irssi ;) | 03:59 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | lol, irssi | 03:59 |
| Scunizi | storbeck: ditto | 03:59 |
| bernz | Iceman_B^Ltop, see Iceman_B... above (argh, twice!) | 03:59 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | irssi is too l33t for me :( | 03:59 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: try xchat -- irssi is a command-line-only one. | 03:59 |
| azlon_ | oh, f' command line... | 03:59 |
| azlon_ | xchat it is | 03:59 |
| Scunizi | Iceman_B^Ltop: you don't see the love yet.. irssi is a great client | 03:59 |
| storbeck | Don't be scared of command line | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | azlon_: no | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | azlon_: Xchat LOL get Konversation instead | 04:00 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | Scunizi: I was raised with mIRC...so irssi takes a while to grow on me | 04:00 |
| nathan_406 | ziroday: that gives me -->"E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 04:00 |

| sebsebseb | azlon_: Konversation is very nice and graphical | 04:00 |
| ziroday | nathan_406: well thats because you installing something else. Wait for it finish | 04:00 |
| Scunizi | Iceman_B^Ltop: there are themes to make it look like mIRC.. :) | 04:00 |
| azlon_ | ok, konver it is then... | 04:00 |
| cdm10 | xchat for gtk, konversation for qt, and that's all you really need to know if you don't care much. | 04:00 |
| nathan_406 | is i did | 04:00 |
| azlon_ | i dont need anything special | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | cdm10: nah Konversation runs rather nicely in Gnome/GTK | 04:01 |
| nathan_406 | Yes I did* | 04:01 |
| ziroday | !best | azlon_ try them all out and decide :) | 04:01 |
| ubottu | azlon_ try them all out and decide :): 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. | 04:01 |
| cdm10 | sebsebseb: after pulling in a load of KDE dependencies... and it looks very different from other Gnome applications. | 04:01 |
| pretender | cdm10: What would you recommend NTFS or Fat32? Fat32 has a 4GB file size limit. | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | cdm10: so what | 04:01 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | Scunizi: the only thing I want is a persistant nicklist, which is non-buggy | 04:01 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | I guess | 04:01 |
| nathan_406 | Well am doing an update | 04:01 |
| bernz | CLI is still the most powerful and efficient and misunderstood tool ever devised for human/computer interaction, decried chiefly for its intricacy and the years it takes to master | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | pretender: for Linux use Ext3 | 04:01 |
| ziroday | nathan_406: well when updating you are installing, wait for it to finish | 04:01 |
| cdm10 | sebsebseb: well, he's a new user... having consistent UIs is quite a good thing. | 04:01 |
| Scunizi | Iceman_B^Ltop: I never found the need for a nick list.. | 04:02 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | I have to make do without a GUI for irc(hence irssi) but having that treebar in mirc is mighty nifty | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | azlon_: want to learn Ubuntu properly? | 04:02 |
| nathan_406 | thats gonna take some time! | 04:02 |
| azlon_ | sebsebseb: dude, 93 megs for a chat client? | 04:02 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | Scunizi: I want to be able to quickly see who is and who isnt in a channel | 04:02 |
| nathan_406 | but it I must | 04:02 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: that's because it's Konversation. | 04:02 |
| nathan_406 | not problem! | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | azlon_: yeah Linux programs hardly take up any space | 04:02 |
| azlon_ | sebsebseb: sure... i say hesitently | 04:02 |
| storbeck | !ot | 04:02 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 04:02 |
| Scunizi | Iceman_B^Ltop: might be nice for smaller channels but here with 1200+ .. eh. not for me. | 04:02 |
| cdm10 | azlon_: like I said, on Gnome, pretty much anything beginning with K is going to take up a ton of space. | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | azlon_: ok PM me | 04:03 |
| psilocybin | i got a question guys, when i attempt to install nvidia drivers, it says it must be in root folder?, but when i try to copy nvidia drive file to root folder i cannot? | 04:03 |
| cdm10 | pretender: if you must have Windows support, NTFS is probably the way to go... it's well-supported now under Ubuntu, and fat32 has too many liminations | 04:03 |
| azlon_ | sebsebseb: i think 93 is big for a chat... | 04:03 |
| ziroday | psilocybin: are you using ubuntu | 04:03 |
| psilocybin | yes gOS | 04:03 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | ah yes, indeed, there is little need in HERE. but all other (30-ish) channels I hang in....yeah, i'd like to have it :) | 04:03 |
| storbeck | psilocybin: Use sudo | 04:03 |
| ziroday | psilocybin: that is not ubuntu. | 04:03 |
| psilocybin | sudo? whats that | 04:03 |
| ziroday | !derivatives | psilocybin | 04:03 |
| ubottu | psilocybin: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce) | 04:03 |
| ubottu | cut off... | 04:03 |
| storbeck | !sudo | psilocybin | 04:03 |
| ubottu | psilocybin: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 04:03 |
| hmw | psilocybin: try "man sudo" | 04:03 |
| bernz | psilocybin, it's not root folder, it's root user, probably, which it's talking about | 04:03 |
| hmw | psilocybin: I mean try "man <whatevercommand>" | 04:04 |
| JosephLinkous | So I don't even know what I want to do with my Linux Server now that it's working. | 04:04 |
| psilocybin | ? what | 04:04 |
| pretender | ok thanks | 04:04 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: any luck? | 04:04 |
| conorcaplice | storbeck: It's Conor1313, no luck, it can see my wireless network but it wont connect to it. Any Ideas? | 04:05 |
| Scunizi | JosephLinkous: load irssi on it and mutt, elinks and openssh so you can be on any machine and login and irc, get email, cruz the net.. throw a test joomla site up.. make a media server .. :) | 04:05 |
| bernz | psilocybin, if you start a root shell (that is, a shell that has root privileges), you can run things as if you are superuser | 04:05 |
| psilocybin | lemme try | 04:05 |
| psilocybin | thanks | 04:05 |
| storbeck | conorcaplice: Try: sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "your ap name"; dhclient ath0 | 04:05 |
| hmw | psilocybin: some programs need to be run by the root user, which is the user context of the system. Like Administrator in windows. The root user can do anything on your system. Do not try logging in as "root" - that is disabled in Ubuntu by default. Instead call every command, that needs to be run as root, with "sudo COMMAND" | 04:05 |
| storbeck | (change ath0 with your wifi interface) | 04:05 |
| bernz | psilocybin, presumably the driver installation needs the "permission" to modify deep stuff in your system | 04:05 |
| psilocybin | why wouldnt i have permission | 04:06 |
| ziroday | psilocybin: if you are using ubuntu, you should not even need to install the drivers manually | 04:06 |
| ardchoille | psilocybin: Please understand that gOS is not Ubuntu. It is based on Ubuntu but it is a different distro | 04:06 |
| bernz | psilocybin, for your own safety -- by default -- and you can unsafe yourself with usdo | 04:06 |
| hmw | psilocybin: for security. You (or any programs you start) cannot really damage the system. That's why Linux doesnt need antivirus software. | 04:06 |
| bernz | usdo -> sudo | 04:06 |
| psilocybin | sudo | 04:06 |
| conorcaplice | ill give that a shot | 04:06 |
| psilocybin | how do i install sudo | 04:07 |
| hmw | psilocybin: already installed. | 04:07 |
| storbeck | psilocybin: Please read the Ubuntu docs | 04:07 |
| bernz | sudo is bundled with almost all distros | 04:07 |
| bernz | psilocybin, 'man sudo' | 04:07 |
| psilocybin | man sudo | 04:07 |
| psilocybin | sorry guys, im an ultra noob | 04:08 |
| hmw | psilocybin: Man pages are not very pretty. But you should consider looking at the manuals, if you want to find out, what a certain command is doing. man COMMANDNAME | 04:08 |
| bernz | psilocybin, i'm afraid you'll have to type that into your shell, not here ;-) | 04:08 |
| sebsebseb | !sudo | 04:08 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 04:08 |
| psilocybin | ahhh | 04:08 |
| BSG | Redvamp, you are my hero | 04:08 |
| redvamp128 | psilocybin: applications-accessories-then terminal | 04:08 |
| brutus | Hi, my graphics card is not being detected even though restricted device manager says the driver is enabled. I cannot change desktop effects or screen resolution. Can someone please help me out? Here is my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124110/ | 04:08 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: the upgrade to 10 turned the camera back on | 04:08 |
| BSG | Yes, it's amazing | 04:08 |
| ziroday | brutus: what graphics card and what version of ubuntu? | 04:08 |
| BSG | You are my savior. | 04:08 |
| navetz | how can i set my repositories to download the latest version of flash player? | 04:08 |
| cdm10 | brutus: what card do you have, and what driver is activated? | 04:08 |
| ardchoille | redvamp128: he's using gOS, it has a different menu setup | 04:08 |
| JosephLinkous | Alright, I have another question. I can see this getting really out of hand with being unable to keep track of all the programs you install on Server, since there's no simple GUI tool to list user-installed packages | 04:09 |
| BSG | What would be a decent place to record my fix so others could figure it out? | 04:09 |
| BSG | A place that will give it lots of eyes | 04:09 |
| brutus | ziroday, Nvidia 8600GS and Gutsy 7.10 | 04:09 |
| ziroday | BSG: the wiki | 04:09 |
| hmw | psilocybin: Many questions have been answered already. Consult https://help.ubuntu.com/ | 04:09 |
| storbeck | !nvidia | brutus | 04:09 |
| ubottu | brutus: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 04:09 |
| brutus | cdm10, Nvidia 8600GS and how do I find out the driver version? | 04:09 |
| ziroday | brutus: okay, you're using the vesa driver. Have you got the nvidia driver installed? | 04:09 |
| JosephLinkous | Is there a command to list user-installed stuff instead of every single package on there? | 04:09 |
| BSG | Link, please? | 04:09 |
| bernz | psilocybin, i recommend you copy the terminal shortcut redvamp128 just referred to into your "quick shortcuts" or whatever they're called at the top of your display | 04:09 |
| Scunizi | JosephLinkous: aptitude is a terminal based synaptic.. sort of graphic.. you'll see what's installed there.. you can also use apt but I haven't figured that out | 04:09 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: there has been about 12 bug reports sent to adobe about that one - where the menu to turn cams on is disabled in flash 10 = but downgrade to 9..to enable the cam -- then upgrade to the 10 | 04:10 |
| BSG | Right, but it'd be nice for that to be more apparent | 04:10 |
| bernz | psilocybin, i also recommend you create a key binding (assign a key shortcut) to launch a terminal (shell)... super handy :-) | 04:10 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: you could also make reference to that in your eeepc page.. | 04:10 |
| clayg | how do i determine what chipset i have on my notebook's wireless adapter | 04:10 |
| brutus | ziroday, How do I find out if its installed? | 04:10 |
| storbeck | clayg: dmesg | 04:10 |
| storbeck | Or lspci | 04:10 |
| conorcaplice | storbeck: It came back, i dont have ath0, so i tried wlan0, It came back with "wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801" then "No DHCPOFFERS received" "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping." | 04:10 |
| brutus | ziroday, It was working fine before I tried installing the latest 180-something driver from the nvidia site | 04:11 |
| ziroday | brutus: pastebin the output of err apt-cache policy nvidia-* | 04:11 |
| Scunizi | clayg: or sudo lshw in terminal... | 04:11 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: I have sent 3 bug reports to adobe about that issue | 04:11 |
| BSG | I plan to | 04:11 |
| bernz | clayg, one way is 'lspci -v | less' and page through the results to find what you seek | 04:11 |
| ziroday | brutus: and that's why we recommend you don't manually install the drivers. You might want to uninstall it. | 04:11 |
| BSG | And I will send a bug report myself | 04:11 |
| BSG | I went through a few other long processes | 04:11 |
| storbeck | conorcaplice: Sounds like it is a driver issue after all ;) | 04:11 |
| JosephLinkous | Scunizi: I didn't even know I could launch Aptitude and have a (sort of) gui thing load up. I was actually going to ask how I could skim through the repositories to see what kinds of things are out there | 04:11 |
| conorcaplice | haha | 04:11 |
| redvamp128 | another good one is dmesg -short | 04:11 |
| clayg | trying all, on lshw now lol | 04:11 |
| Scunizi | JosephLinkous: you'll also need to learn "screen" | 04:12 |
| brutus | ziroday, the output is 'unable to locate package'; how do I revert back to my old driver? | 04:12 |
| redvamp128 | as well as lshw -short | 04:12 |
| conorcaplice | so, where would i go to find the correct driver for me? | 04:12 |
| storbeck | conorcaplice: What chipset is it? | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: telling new users, to do a load of stuff, that they don't understand, isn't that good | 04:12 |
| conorcaplice | its integrated into the computer, i believe its Intel | 04:12 |
| cdm10 | sebsebseb: like installing KDE, for instance. | 04:12 |
| ziroday | brutus: do you have two graphics cards? | 04:13 |
| storbeck | !madwifi | 04:13 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:13 |
| brutus | ziroday, No just one 8600GS | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | cdm10: I explained to him in PM about Gnome and KDE | 04:13 |
| storbeck | Eh, that's not what I was hoping for | 04:13 |
| ziroday | brutus: then why do you have two device lines? | 04:13 |
| * bernz tried 'dmesg -short' and was surprised to find 'TCP: Treason uncloaked...' and so on :-) | 04:13 | |
| conorcaplice | madwifi? | 04:13 |
| donavan01 | BSG: you still around | 04:13 |
| cdm10 | sebsebseb: oh, I guess I misunderstood something :-/ oh well then. | 04:13 |
| storbeck | conorcaplice: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi | 04:13 |
| ziroday | brutus: actually can you pastebin your /var/log/xorg.0.log | 04:13 |
| felixsulla | I want to add a shortcut to terminal, but I want it to start in a specific folder. I can edit menu, add command gnome-terminal, but how do I make it show up in a specific folder? | 04:14 |
| sebsebseb | cdm10: ,but yes he has 8GB so I woudn't recommend he put KDE4 on which is yucky anyway, and what comes in the Ibex repo | 04:14 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, i figure a lot of people are migrating from windows, so i'll mention handy stuff that sounds similar "e.g. "shortcuts"), but point taken :-) | 04:14 |
| storbeck | felixsulla: What do you mean? | 04:14 |
| sebsebseb | cdm10: however some of it's apps shoudn't take up that much space | 04:14 |
| brutus | ziroday, I have no clue | 04:14 |
| storbeck | You said two different things | 04:14 |
| brutus | ziroday, which one should I remove? | 04:14 |
| clayg | sweet lspci seemed to be easiest for me to understand looks like i have a "Intel 3945ABG" | 04:14 |
| conorcaplice | Storbeck: Just happened, but It has connected though moving painstakingly slowly, still madwifi to fix it? | 04:14 |
| ziroday | brutus: right, can you remove the bottom one please. | 04:14 |
| storbeck | Do you want to make a "shortcut" or do you want the terminal to start in a specific folder? | 04:14 |
| felixsulla | Say I want a terminal to open in my home folder | 04:14 |
| felixsulla | I want to make a terminal that opens in my home folder | 04:14 |
| storbeck | conorcaplice: madwifi is the main driver for intel based chips | 04:14 |
| azlon_ | lol | 04:14 |
| ziroday | brutus: err just comment out the bottom driver, screen and monitor parts that have # in them | 04:15 |
| ziroday | brutus: basically the last three sections | 04:15 |
| conorcaplice | alright, thanks, im going to move my desktop and try and install them. | 04:15 |
| storbeck | felixsulla: Run this in a terminal: echo "cd ~" >> ~/.bashrc | 04:15 |
| ziroday | brutus: am I making sense? | 04:15 |
| === les_ is now known as les | ||
| felixsulla | Can I make it so the terminal automatically opens in ~ | 04:16 |
| felixsulla | Or one specific shortcut, rather? | 04:16 |
| storbeck | felixsulla: Do what I said | 04:16 |
| brutus | ziroday, Yeah, I did it- left our the ServerFlags section though... | 04:16 |
| felixsulla | I want to leave the default terminal alone. | 04:16 |
| ziroday | brutus: thats fine, can you save and then restart xorg | 04:16 |
| storbeck | felixsulla: Tell me what you're exactly trying to do | 04:16 |
| storbeck | You keep switching your goal around | 04:16 |
| felixsulla | Heh, not trying to. | 04:16 |
| felixsulla | I want to make a new item in applications, that is a terminal shorcut, but I want that terminal to open inside my home folder. | 04:17 |
| glandon | ok this is probably going to sound like a lame question, but i know there is a way to do it i just dont know how. does anyone know how to compile an install disk of ubuntu that is basically a compilation of everything that i currently have installed in my operating system? | 04:17 |
| brutus | ziroday, ok, I'll just get back after doing so.... | 04:17 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: I know you just tried to help, but maybe you put him off Ubuntu | 04:17 |
| ziroday | brutus: I'll wait :) | 04:17 |
| ziroday | !aptoncd | glandon | 04:17 |
| ubottu | glandon: 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 | 04:17 |
| glandon | this will include the OS as well | 04:18 |
| Scunizi | glandon: to create an install disk and not use aptoncd would be tough.. the original live cd is always right at the limit of a cd.. with your extra programs you'd have to go to dvd. and still struggle over the how to's | 04:19 |
| ziroday | glandon: well you have the normal ubuntu disk and then you aptoncd with all the packages you want. | 04:19 |
| storbeck | felixsulla: assuming you're using gnome-terminal, add this to your keybind: gnome-terminal --working-directory / | 04:20 |
| matt | just set up compiz fusion, and i only have two screens | 04:20 |
| storbeck | oops, change "/" with "~" | 04:20 |
| ziroday | glandon: perhaps http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/ | 04:20 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, nah, i wouldn't worry about that -- it's the overall useability of the OS that makes it live or die; i'm even frustrated by some "simple" problems, but i'm keen, so it won't stop me... many others are keen like that too :-) | 04:20 |
| felixsulla | / would do root, gotcha.. thanks storbeck! | 04:20 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: simple problems? and how long you used | 04:20 |
| matt | how do you get the four screen cube thing running? | 04:21 |
| === matt is now known as linux_guy | ||
| sebsebseb | linux_guy: you need Compiz Fushion installed | 04:21 |
| sebsebseb | and a good enough graphics card | 04:21 |
| sebsebseb | !compiz | 04:21 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 04:21 |
| linux_guy | sebsebseb: its installed | 04:21 |
| linux_guy | graphics card is pretty good | 04:22 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, my mobo-bound USB host controllers won't init since initial install; no kernel messages, and i don't understand udev yet, so i don't know where to continue diagnosis -- PCI-based IO card's host cons are working fine, though | 04:22 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: that didn't sound like a basic issue to me :D | 04:22 |
| brutus | ziroday, Hey...I rebooted with the changes but it complained that Ubuntu would run in low graphics mode...the same problem as as before | 04:22 |
| JosephLinkous | So, if I run Aptitude then simply press G, it seems to already have selected a whole bunch of updates I need. Is that right? | 04:22 |
| felixsulla | storbeck: works like a charm.. Can you tell me how you would have phrased my question, just for reference? | 04:22 |
| ziroday | brutus: right, yeah remove the -180 drivers | 04:23 |
| Stonewall | hello, how do i tall what i should put under the driver line to get my GFX card to work? | 04:23 |
| ziroday | Stonewall: what version of ubuntu? | 04:23 |
| Stonewall | 8.10 | 04:23 |
| ziroday | brutus: you probably have two versions installed which are conflicting | 04:23 |
| ziroday | Stonewall: what card? | 04:23 |
| Stonewall | thats what i'm trying to gather | 04:23 |
| brutus | ziroday, how do I do that? I installed the 180 driver by running 'sh blahblahblah.run' downloded from the nvidia site | 04:23 |
| ziroday | Stonewall: what does lspci | grep VGA output? | 04:24 |
| Scunizi | JosephLinkous: you must have tagged a bunch.. for "updates" I prefer sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:24 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, exactly -- and yet, XP on the same hardware gets the USB host cons up and running just fine on first install -- these kinds of issues (out-of-box failures) are the big turn-off for potential converts, i'd say ... of course, my experience could be rare | 04:24 |
| ziroday | brutus: there should be an uninstall script there somewhere. Also this is why we strongly recommend you don't install direct from the nvidia site. | 04:24 |
| Stonewall | nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP8x | 04:24 |
| ziroday | Stonewall: thats quite an old card. Do you have the drivers installed? | 04:24 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: wireless is an issue for many, but that's, because the hardware manufactures haven't made proper drivers for Linux | 04:25 |
| Stonewall | no, this system is just installed | 04:25 |
| Stonewall | there was more | 04:25 |
| agentbob | how can i get mysql5.1 installed on my ubuntu | 04:25 |
| Stonewall | nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP8x | 04:25 |
| ziroday | Stonewall: okay, can you open up System > Administrator > Hardware Drivers, are there any drivers there for you to install? | 04:25 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, agreed, and wifi itself is still VERY poorly understood by the general public, so that's understandable | 04:25 |
| brutus | ziroday, Drat...no uninstall script...I just downloaded one single .run file which installed the driver | 04:25 |
| JosephLinkous | Scunizi: haha. Well, most of these said they were updates (updates X.X to X.Y) and such, but if I were to accidentally install a whole crap load of stuff, is there an easy way to remove it all? | 04:25 |
| ziroday | brutus: err one sec | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: indeed loads of insecure wireless connections | 04:26 |
| Stonewall | theres no menu entry called hardware drivers | 04:26 |
| Scunizi | JosephLinkous: you'd have to know what it was and tag it for uninstallation as far as I know. | 04:26 |
| ziroday | Stonewall: under System > Administration? | 04:26 |
| brutus | ziroday, btw, I have nvidia-settings installed and when I run it it says- "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server" | 04:27 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, on the plus side, i'm one of those who will pursue this problem (USB failure) until it's working, and then post results somewhere -- there are sure to be at least a few others with the same mobo trying ubuntu sooner or later | 04:27 |
| speedcore | Hi I need a good channel for ubuntu admins? | 04:27 |
| garou | Hi. After dist-upgrading to jaunty I have problems with my ATI Radeon HD4850 and its proprietary drivers, but, well, I'd really like to work with OpenGL. This is the problem: http://rafb.net/p/jvetbU33.html | 04:27 |
| JosephLinkous | Scunizi: That kinda sucks that there's no log file somewhere that keeps track of aptitude sessions | 04:27 |
| Stonewall | ziroday: yea, i should have mentioned that this started as an installation of kubuntu 8.10 >.> | 04:27 |
| ziroday | brutus: yeah, because you have two nvidia drivers installed, they're conflicting | 04:27 |
| Conor1313 | can anyone tell me which repo has madwifi? | 04:27 |
| bullgard4 | What data does evolution-data-server provide (to other programs)? | 04:27 |
| Daft_Punk | garou, #ubuntu+1 is for jaunty | 04:27 |
| Stonewall | i may have missed something... | 04:27 |
| cmrn | Hi. I wanted to try the netbook remix for ubuntu, so I decided to try to install gnome. I install the package ubuntu-desktop, but when I try to log in to a gnome session it loads the cursor and wallpaper but nothing else. I was installing gnome from xubuntu | 04:27 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: its the address book | 04:27 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: it provides contact information | 04:27 |
| Scunizi | JosephLinkous: there might be.. or another way of referencing it. I just never went there. | 04:28 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: yeah and one day you could get proper suppourt from that motherboard manufacture, in the mean time they will ignore Linux, and say it don't have enough market share, so they won't suppourt it with drivers | 04:28 |
| ziroday | Stonewall: right, do you have ubuntu-desktop installed? | 04:28 |
| Stonewall | lemme check | 04:28 |
| cmrn | how do I get gnome-panel and company to load? | 04:28 |
| JosephLinkous | Scunizi: But hey, Linux cleanly removes things, even big stuff, right? I'm tired of this Windoze crap where uninstalling leaves an unsightly residue in the form of orphan files, folders, and registry keys | 04:28 |
| garou | Daft_Punk: What *is* #ubuntu+1? I can't really find anything helpful on Google and nothing with apt-cache search. | 04:29 |
| agentbob | are there any recommended ways to install mysql 5.1 on ubuntu? | 04:29 |
| donavan01 | Im looking for a media player that works, is lightweight and can handle any video type (with the right codecs of course) any suggestions (its going on my Eee pc) | 04:29 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, well, that's why there must be people who will dig at this out of curiosiity (and there will be, even if it's not me or you)... it's just a matter of time; i think even microsoft knows the cat's out of the bag | 04:29 |
| ziroday | brutus: okay according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual#Uninstalling%20the%20Driver you should do sudo sh NVIDIA* --uninstall in the same dir as the .run file | 04:29 |
| Stonewall | ziroday: no i do not | 04:30 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: maybe something about it on ubuntuforums.org | 04:30 |
| Scunizi | JosephLinkous: yep.. sometimes there are personal configuration files left in you /home directory but they are prefaced with a . so they are hidden. ls -la will show them or ls -a | 04:30 |

| garou | !#ubuntu+1 | 04:30 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, the insane amount of improvements resulting in ubuntu since my first random stabbings at slackware in the 90s are jaw-dropping | 04:30 |
| ubottu | 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. | 04:30 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: MS LOL the amount of stuff they been able to get away with, since they had most of the market, but the times are changing slowly, and as time goes by more Desktop Linux users :) | 04:30 |
| cmrn | I wanted to try the netbook remix for ubuntu, so I decided to try to install gnome. I install the package ubuntu-desktop, but when I try to log in to a gnome session it loads the cursor and wallpaper but nothing else. I was installing gnome from xubuntu. | 04:30 |
| cmrn | help? | 04:30 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: and I like to help noobs get set up nicely with Ubuntu, so cover the basics. VNC tunneled over SSH yeah | 04:31 |
| donavan01 | cpudan80 ... I was thinking about VLC just wasnt too sure how big it was | 04:31 |
| Cpudan80 | donavan01: hmmm let's find out | 04:31 |
| bullgard4 | ziroday: I believe that it is not only the address book. At least one Ubuntu developer told me that evolution-data-server does provide more data than that, for example it provides deadlines. So the list of data provided is longer (it comprises more than one entry which you suggested). | 04:31 |
| Cpudan80 | !info vlc | 04:31 |
| ubottu | vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.9.4-1ubuntu3.1 (intrepid), package size 1628 kB, installed size 3616 kB | 04:31 |

| === eric is now known as Guest52738 | ||
| JosephLinkous | Now, I gotta get me a good C++, C# or Java compiler so I can develop programs remotely | 04:32 |
| brutus | ziroday, Hey thanks! I uninstalled it...Should I try restarting xserver now? | 04:32 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: if we can win the not so technical computer users over to Desktop Linux :D | 04:32 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: well in theory e-d-s can do alot of things. It uses dbus to communicate. | 04:32 |
| Cpudan80 | they should really drop totem ... and just use VLC in the default install | 04:32 |
| Stonewall | ziroday: done | 04:32 |
| anatashinu__ | hello? | 04:32 |
| ziroday | brutus: yep you can do it with ctrl+alt+bkspace | 04:32 |
| donavan01 | cmrn ... what kind of netbook | 04:32 |
| sebsebseb | anatashinu__: hi | 04:32 |
| cmrn | eeepc1000h | 04:32 |
| ziroday | Stonewall: now type in jockey-gtk | 04:32 |
| brutus | ziroday, brb :) | 04:32 |
| anatashinu__ | Hi I'm having troubles with wifi on my new laptop | 04:32 |
| Scunizi | Cpudan80: the problem with that is the non-free codecs in vlc | 04:32 |
| anatashinu__ | lenovo 3000 n500 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4421652&Sku=T71-15404 | 04:32 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: what were we just talking about, and now there's someone with one of those issues | 04:32 |
| anatashinu__ | ubuntu 8.10 | 04:32 |
| Stonewall | ok, i got the hardware manager and found the driver, activate it? | 04:33 |
| Cpudan80 | Scunizi: oh ... right, forgot about that | 04:33 |
| donavan01 | cmrn ... are you just trying to get a small build on you system or are you trying to do something specific | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | anatashinu__: ok this is a start | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | 04:33 |
| bullgard4 | ziroday: Why is it necessary to provide the contact information through the evolution data server? Why can the Evolution (client) not read simply directly the address books? | 04:33 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:33 |
| anatashinu__ | !wireless | 04:33 |
| sancho21_ | I'm afraid there is a bug related to firefox in 8.10. Ubuntu eat all my swap and memory | 04:33 |
| Cpudan80 | !wifi | anatashinu__ | 04:33 |
| ubottu | anatashinu__: please see above | 04:33 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: because not only evolution uses the contact info, its designed so that other apps can query it. | 04:34 |
| sancho21_ | after many hours passed | 04:34 |
| Stonewall | ziroday: ok, i got the hardware manager and found the driver , activate it? | 04:34 |
| ziroday | Stonewall: yep | 04:34 |
| scribawf | !2700 | 04:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 2700 | 04:34 |
| bohemian | hi everyone | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | bohemian: hi | 04:35 |
| bohemian | anyone knows of a good web content filtering | 04:35 |
| anatashinu__ | Theres probably something in there about my problem, but I dont know | 04:35 |
| BSG | No kidding, the cam just shuts off after a few secods now | 04:35 |
| anatashinu__ | It just wont let me connect. | 04:35 |
| anatashinu__ | I have the password correct | 04:35 |
| anatashinu__ | Just tells me to reenter pass | 04:35 |
| cmrn | donavan01: I had xubuntu up and running, and I installed "ubuntu-desktop" from Synaptic. When I restart and choose gnome for my session, I only get the wallpaper | 04:35 |
| bohemian | one that can block porn and malicious sites and limit downloads | 04:36 |
| Scunizi | bohemian: openDNS free .. internt side.. www.opendns.com or .org I forgot. | 04:36 |
| Stonewall | is the last part of this supposed to take forever? | 04:36 |
| bohemian | hi sebsebseb | 04:36 |
| Conor1313 | can someone tell me which repositiory i need to install wadwifi? | 04:36 |
| bullgard4 | ziroday: I do not understand: A config file can be read by many programs if necessary. Why cannot be read an address book by other application programs as well, without the intermediary evolution-data-server? | 04:36 |
| koshari | Conor1313 you mean madwifi | 04:36 |
| anatashinu__ | is there some program I need to use wifi? | 04:36 |
| Conor1313 | right, sorry | 04:36 |
| bohemian | Scunizi: i don't have a dedicated ip, will that work? | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | anatashinu__: depends | 04:36 |
| brutus | ziroday, hmm...I rebooted but no luck...I tried glxgears, but that gave- "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual" | 04:36 |
| anatashinu__ | depends on what? | 04:36 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: I don't know that far into depth, you might want to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | anatashinu__: you might need madwifi or ndiswrapper | 04:37 |
| TaG^ | ok.. I am running xp run now .. i input the ubuntu .. which option do i chose -->Demo and Full installation or Inside inside Windows? | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | !ndiswrapper | 04:37 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:37 |
| Stonewall | ziroday: thanks, gotta reboot | 04:37 |
| anatashinu__ | ok I'll try those and get back to you | 04:37 |
| bullgard4 | ziroday: Ok, thank you very much for answering. | 04:37 |
| Scunizi | bohemian: yes.. if you have a router you simply enter the dns addresses for opendns and away you go.. you need to sign up and once you do that you can tweek the level of filtering.. | 04:37 |
| nomasteryoda | if you can make it work with the madwifi, that is the way to go | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | anatashinu__: well | 04:37 |
| nomasteryoda | will be faster | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | anatashinu__: not as simple as just that | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | anatashinu__: first of all you need to know about the wireless device that you have, to find out if you need a driver for it or not | 04:38 |
| donavan01 | cmrn: sounds like a bad install ... was this fresh out of the box install (anything on it) if so then try eeebuntu BSG(user on here) just told me about it and it seems to work great and the base install only took up 2.2 gbs on my SSD | 04:38 |
| TaG^ | ok.. I am running xp run now .. i input the ubuntu .. which option do i chose -->Demo and Full installation or Inside inside Windows? | 04:38 |
| anatashinu__ | Oh | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | TaG^: don't install it from XP | 04:38 |
| bohemian | Scunizi: thanks i'll try that, by the way have you used dansguardian? | 04:38 |
| anatashinu__ | well let me find out | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | TaG^: boot the computer from the Live CD | 04:38 |
| anatashinu__ | It was built in to the computere | 04:38 |
| ziroday | brutus: ack, can you pastebin your xorg.conf and /var/log/xorg.0.log please | 04:39 |
| cmrn | donavan01: I was installing gnome from xfce, OK? | 04:39 |
| brutus | ziroday, just a sec | 04:39 |
| Scunizi | bohemian: tried.. If you only have one machine in the house and that's all the kids use.. great. but not easy to maintain. | 04:39 |
| cmrn | 80gb HDD, so space != issue | 04:39 |
| Scunizi | brb | 04:39 |
| TaG^ | sebsebseb how much space u need? | 04:39 |
| donavan01 | crmn: go private | 04:39 |
| anatashinu__ | 802.11b/g Wireless Networking | 04:40 |
| anatashinu__ | is that it? | 04:40 |

| jeffwheeler | What version of Java does GJC-4.3 roughly correlate to? E.g., will it have generics, etc.? | 04:42 |

| brutus | ziroday, and here's my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/md138aa3 | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | anatashinu__: maybe you can find out on ubuntuforums.org as well as wait for someone that can help you properly, I can't | 04:43 |
| panesar_sandeep | tag^, if u just wish to try ubuntu, there's a better option where u wudn't have to touch the original partitions | 04:43 |
| Scunizi | bohemian: i'd use opendns.. easier | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | panesar_sandeep: indeed I was thinking about telling him about vm | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | I woudn't recommend wubi | 04:43 |
| TaG^ | sebsebseb when i instll will it delete my xp? | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | TaG^: not if you dual boot | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | TaG^: ,but by what your telling me you don't have enough free space to make a good dual boot | 04:44 |

| keithclark | My CD drive no longer works on my laptop, and it will not boot from usb. Is there a way to install Ubuntu over the current PCLinuxOS installation just over the network? | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | panesar_sandeep: indeed Virtualbox | 04:44 |
| ziroday | brutus: and what does sudo nvidia-settings do? | 04:44 |
| panesar_sandeep | sebsebseb, :) | 04:44 |
| Decepticon | in crontab, this is every 1:30 hrs ? 30 */1 * * * rsync ... if it is then i dont understand why i have two concurrent rsync processes running (transferring the same LARGE file). is it my bandwidth limitations thats causing the transfer to be in progress, and thus not appear as the actual file on the remot dir, causing rsync to retransfer it, hence lauching a 2nd process? | 04:44 |
| TaG^ | panesar_sandeep so what do i do? | 04:44 |
| brutus | ziroday, gives me a dialog box saying- "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " | 04:45 |
| TaG^ | sebsebseb how much space do i need? | 04:45 |
| jeffwheeler | Decepticon: the */1 can be simplified to just * | 04:45 |
| TaG^ | for dual boot? | 04:45 |
| jplever | Does anyone have any suggestions to solve sudden sound failure? Have checked settings and restarted alsa and am at a complete loss | 04:45 |
| Decepticon | jeffwheeler i guess, but it doesnt address my question | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | TaG^: how big is your hard disk? | 04:45 |
| Conor1313 | Hello, Which repository do i need to add to install madwifi> | 04:45 |
| jeffwheeler | Decepticon: I know; but then it appears that it's running every thirty minutes, not 1:30 hours, right? | 04:45 |
| ziroday | brutus: argh, can you reinstall nvidia-glx-new. And I have to run sorry | 04:45 |
| Decepticon | jeffwheeler thats correct, its somewhat misleading to me | 04:45 |

| panesar_sandeep | tag^, you can try lighter flavours of linux like sidlite | 04:53 |
| sebsebseb | TaG^: puppy Linux and stuff yeah | 04:53 |
| panesar_sandeep | tag^, you can try lighter flavours of linux like sidlite | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | TaG^: ,but you can probably have the latest version of Ubuntu on there to, just need a 512MB or so swap partition on there first | 04:54 |

| panesar_sandeep | maged, wats the prob... | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | TaG^: oh old graphics card, probably best to go for Hardy Heron when it comes to Ubuntu on that old computer | 04:54 |

| usser | Decepticon, run it every 2 hours then, theres not much you can do. if thats how long it takes then its how long it takes | 04:55 |
| shine^girlz | you are never walk alone | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | TaG^: with the correct distro, or this swap partition already on the hard disk trick that I know about. Desktop Linux breaths life into old hardware including computers with 128MB RAM | 04:55 |
| Decepticon | varaible amount of time | 04:55 |
| Decepticon | theres no predictability | 04:55 |
| TaG^ | sebsebseb would Ubuntu able to run on 128mb of ram? | 04:55 |
| usser | Decepticon, you can of course write a script that checks if rsync is running already and don start the second instance | 04:55 |
| Decepticon | best solution given to me was to use a pid file or to check if rsync is running | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | TaG^: Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 yes | 04:55 |
| daniel9873 | try xubuntu for 128 mbs | 04:56 |

| Conor1313 | Can anyone tell me what the main ubuntu repository is that I can get Madwifi from? | 05:03 |

| Conor1313 | sebsebseb: I cant use synaptic? | 05:04 |
| redvamp128 | Conor1313: you could enable multiverse -- then look in synaptic package manger- also you could try packages - Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- madwifi <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=madwifi&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all> | 05:05 |
| tritium | Conor1313: do you need the latest? If not, a recent version is installed by default. | 05:05 |

| BSG | I fixd my audio problem, but I am still having trouble keeping my cam running for more than 5 minutes | 05:06 |

| Stonewall | how do i set up a remote login? | 05:08 |
| sebsebseb | Stonewall: why do you want to do that? | 05:08 |
| Conor1313 | tritium: so how would I use it to increase my wireless strength? | 05:08 |
| Stonewall | so i can ssh into my desktop from laptop | 05:08 |
| SEVILLA | can anyone help me with my graphics card i have an ati Rv250 and my desktop effects dont work | 05:08 |
| sebsebseb | Stonewall: ok you don't need a remote log in | 05:09 |
| tritium | Conor1313: drivers cannot increase signal strength | 05:09 |
| sebsebseb | Stonewall: you should be able to SSH into the account that is running | 05:09 |
| sebsebseb | oh | 05:09 |
| Stonewall | ohh, ok | 05:09 |
| sebsebseb | I am thinking remote log in from the login screen | 05:09 |
| sebsebseb | I guess you are as well? | 05:09 |
| Conor1313 | tritium: Someone in here told me earlier that madwifi would fix my connection issues, is that not the case? | 05:09 |
| Stonewall | huh? | 05:09 |
| sebsebseb | nevermind | 05:09 |
| Stonewall | tty... | 05:09 |

| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 05:09 |
| SEVILLA | can anyone help me with my graphics card i have an ati Rv250 and my desktop effects dont work | 05:10 |
| tritium | Conor1313: the driver might work better for you, but that's a separate matter from increasing signal strength | 05:10 |
| sebsebseb | !ati | 05:10 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:10 |
| tritium | Conor1313: which driver are you currently using? | 05:10 |
| SEVILLA | sebsebseb: yeah its an old dell | 05:10 |
| Conor1313 | tritium: I'm not certian, I believe its Intel and integrated into my desktop. How would I check? | 05:11 |
| tritium | Conor1313: Intel cards do not use Madwifi. | 05:11 |
| sebsebseb | SEVILLA: which Ubuntu? | 05:11 |
| sebsebseb | tritium: I think that guy wants help with getting his wireless set up | 05:11 |
| SEVILLA | sebsebseb: hardy | 05:11 |
| tritium | Conor1313: if you need Madwifi, see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi. But, again, Intel cards do *not* use madwifi | 05:11 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: So it turns the camera on but then it shuts down? | 05:11 |
| tritium | sebsebseb: obviously | 05:11 |
| sebsebseb | SEVILLA: hummmmmm not sure you go on that link the bot gave? | 05:12 |
| cpk1 | anyone know how to figure out the code for your keys? IE when I press the left ctrl key its registered as "key 88" or whatever number it actually is | 05:12 |
| sebsebseb | tritium: yeah obviously, but he thought he needed madwifi, and I am assuming, because he didn't set up his wireless properly | 05:12 |
| sebsebseb | and maybe you can help him do that | 05:12 |
| redvamp128 | BSG: suggestion -- possibly try turning off desktop effects if they are enabled... sometimes that helps | 05:12 |
| swordlea | hello ,everybody | 05:12 |

| bohemian | is the there an opendns updater for ubuntu? i use dynamic ip | 05:50 |
| arvind_khadri | hi, i installed debian, i also have ubuntu installed. the problem is that the grub isnt able to boot both of them. for debian it says that filesystem type is fat and for ubuntu it doesnt recognize the fs at all | 05:50 |
| cpk1 | azlon: you are trying to make an image of your hdd or burn the ubuntu iso to disk? | 05:51 |
| CK-TECH | anyone know how to install wireless adaptor ? | 05:53 |
| azlon | cpk1: im trying to make an image of my HDD | 05:53 |
| cpk1 | azlon: ok I see, using partimage you could just gzip and then burn it to a cd after doing that | 05:53 |
| azlon | right, but i want to create the image on an external HDD | 05:54 |
| azlon | or on an unused partition, but external HDD is prefferable | 05:54 |
| cpk1 | azlon: so you just want to change the output? | 05:56 |
| CNH | halo.... | 05:56 |
| azlon | yeah | 05:56 |
| CNH | anybody here.... | 05:56 |
| sebsebseb | CNH: yes | 05:56 |
| azlon | do i just launch partimage from the directory i want the image stored in? | 05:56 |
| cpk1 | azlon: so before running partimage mount the external hdd if that is where you want to output to and then point partimage to where you mounted the external hdd | 05:57 |
| Conor1313 | I'm sorry to keep asking but, would NDISWRAPPER solve problems of wireless connectivity for me if I lose wireless by going more than a few meters from my router? | 05:57 |
| cpk1 | azlon: do you already know the label for the partition you want to image? | 05:57 |
| azlon | cpk1: i mounted it, but how do i point partimage... its a old school GUI with no destination section | 05:58 |
| azlon | uhmm | 05:58 |
| azlon | cpk1: /media/WD\ Passport | 05:58 |
| cpk1 | Conor1313: most likely not, ndiswrapper tends to be the least effective driver for wireless | 05:58 |
| kriscolt | can anyone help me with getting samba working... | 05:58 |
| cpk1 | azlon: so thats where you are outputting, looking at partimages docs there should be a section where you put that in | 05:58 |
| kriscolt | all i'm trying to do is see the shared folders on one of my xp machines | 05:59 |
| cpk1 | azlon: the "image file to create of use" section | 05:59 |
| Conor1313 | cpk1: darn, do you have any thoughts on a solution for losing wireless by traveling a few meters away from my wireless router? | 05:59 |
| arvind_khadri | hi, i installed debian, i also have ubuntu installed. the problem is that the grub isnt able to boot both of them. for debian it says that filesystem type is fat and for ubuntu it doesnt recognize the fs at all.... | 05:59 |
| BentFranklin | How do I check my DNS on a Kubuntu 8.10 machine? I can't connect outside my LAN. | 06:00 |
| cpk1 | Conor1313: what wireless chipset are you using? | 06:00 |
| Conor1313 | cpk1: I'm not certian, tritium was trying to help me earlier but he and I couldnt figure it out | 06:01 |
| Conor1313 | cpk1: I think its integrated into the computer? I'm on an HP Pavillion m8724f if that helps at all | 06:03 |
| cpk1 | Conor1313: try "lscpi -v | grep Ethernet" and see if the wireless card is shown, otherwise just do "lspci -v" and search for the card | 06:03 |
| cpk1 | Conor1313: i dont have a wireless card so I dont know what the label for it is to make it easier to find, sorry | 06:04 |
| Meshezabeel | bohemian: what do you mean an updater for opendns? | 06:04 |
| azlon | cpk1: now that i downloaded the doc, i can use man partimage? | 06:05 |
| Conor1313 | cpk1: im looking thru the information in the second command you mentioned, the first one kept saying "command not found" | 06:05 |
| cpk1 | Conor1313: my bad, its supposed to be lspci just like in the second one, i made a typo =X | 06:06 |
| D3RGPS31 | I'm about to format my ubuntu x32 machine to x64, any tips? | 06:06 |

| ozzy | hi | 06:08 |
| kriscolt | anyone here good with samba? | 06:08 |
| kriscolt | i can't get my xubuntu machine to see shared folders on my xp machine | 06:08 |

| caveman26 | I have a dell inspiron 1526, has ATi graphics, I installed flglrx, and it killed my wireless card.. how can a video driver kill a wifi card? | 06:08 |
| bohemian | Meshezabeel: i use an ISP service with dynamic ip address so it changes ip upon restart, but it should update with opendns to apply my filtering | 06:09 |
| cpk1 | Conor1313: and the E is supposed to be capital | 06:09 |
| === kevin_ is now known as uvacav | ||
| cpk1 | Conor1313: thats not the wireless, the wireless ahs a different label, so you will just have to swim through the output of lspci -v to look for the wireless | 06:09 |
| Conor1313 | cpk1: tritium was looking thru it earlier as did I, i dont think it is listed | 06:10 |
| caveman26 | anybody have any idea why video drivers made my wireless stop working? I just dont understand that.. there 2 completely different things | 06:11 |
| bohemian | Meshezabeel: there's this link to download updater in mac and windows but none for linux.... http://www.opendns.com/support/article/245 | 06:11 |
| cpk1 | Conor1313: ok, pastebin the output of "sudo lshw" | 06:11 |

| Brian8MEJ0mnt | sebsebseb, if that was directed at me... I know how to dual boot fine, but I've always started from having one partition, my windows one, and then taking space from it, I don't know if/how I can add that empty space back in to another partition | 06:28 |
| b1n42y | gnu chess needs OpenGl and GTKGLExt support, do i need both and do i install via synaptic? | 06:29 |
| redwizard26 | @brian I have done that before using the Gparted boot cd | 06:30 |
| sebsebseb | yeah or he can use Ubuntu Live CD | 06:30 |
| Brian8MEJ0mnt | How would I go about doin it with Ubuntu 8.10 cd? Gonna install Ubuntu, already have CD, might as well use that one :) | 06:30 |
| redwizard26 | I don't know wether the partition editor on the ubuntu live cd would be capable of resizing the partitions | 06:31 |

| hero | why is ubuntu very good than other linux? | 06:32 |
| hero | and windows? | 06:32 |
| redwizard26 | @brian yes it is but its a striped down version | 06:32 |
| sebsebseb | hero: Ubuntu is very popular, and a good one to start with and to stay with for most computer users | 06:33 |
| hero | owh thanks sebsebseb | 06:33 |
| sebsebseb | hero: ,but there are other Linux and Unix's that are very good as well | 06:33 |
| redwizard26 | I have never attempted to do it with the ubuntu live disc because I have never looked at it like a repair disc. | 06:33 |
| sebsebseb | hero: and it's more secure and stable than Windows | 06:34 |
| hero | owh but sometimes my newly installed ubuntu hang | 06:34 |
| hero | when playin music | 06:34 |
| redwizard26 | hero might I add that its FREE (as in cost and speech) | 06:34 |
| sebsebseb | hero: which player and how much RAM? | 06:34 |
| sebsebseb | hero: yeah and what redwizard said | 06:34 |
| dustin | hey guys, im having troubles getting my linux stuff going.. i have downloaded ubuntu multiple times from diff sources to verify, and made 4 discs now and it seems they are all corrupt at like 32% install. | 06:35 |

| hero | i will try to download it right now using synaptic | 06:36 |
| tom760` | i'm running ubuntu. i want to try some other distros as well to compare with. can anyone recommend good ones for doing pretty custom setups and development work? | 06:37 |
| hero | what is bad about hardy? | 06:37 |
| sebsebseb | nothing | 06:37 |
| sebsebseb | hero: you got a lot of questions it seems, and this is off topic really, pm me | 06:37 |
| redwizard26 | @dustin I might recomend using Bit Torrent to download it that way you can be sure that there is no error in the download because it is compared to a hash.... and if that is not feasible order some of the free discs through ship it. | 06:37 |
| kandjar` | hero: tons of stuff | 06:37 |
| sebsebseb | kandjar`: pulseaudio can be bad in Hardy, but otherwise it's quite good | 06:37 |
| hero | owh okay sebseb | 06:37 |
| kandjar` | hero: my sound was working fine in gutsy, my bluetooth mouse was also working fine in gutsy, now they don't work correctly with hardy | 06:38 |
| usser | tom760`, openSuse, Fedora, debian, archlinux and gentoo. last two use source to install packages and are a little hard for a newbie | 06:38 |
| sebsebseb | kandjar`: yep gutsy is good | 06:38 |
| kandjar` | the only thing which work better with hardy for me, is the wifi | 06:38 |

| huwenfeng | i newly installed the Ubuntu 8.04, and i find out that the system is listening on port 631! how can i stop that? anybody give me some help! | 06:43 |
| usser | huwenfeng, thats cups, printing daemon, point your browser to localhost:631 you'll get config page, it only accepts connections from localhost by default | 06:44 |
| tom760` | usser: do you know if the kernel and drive developers lean toward a particular distro or two? | 06:44 |
| b1n42y | huwenfeng: got firewall | 06:44 |
| o0splitpaw0o | huwenfeng: ill reveal that 631 is the cups printer spooler deamon. In your case, it is only listening on the loopback address so it's not reachable across the network by other computers. In mine, I'be enabled remote printing so it's listening on 0.0.0.0 instead. | 06:45 |
| usser | tom760`, if anything i'd say kernel developers use gentoo or archlinux, since they're source based or debian | 06:45 |
| huwenfeng | o0splitpaw0o: so i can not close it ? can i ? | 06:45 |
| tom760` | ok | 06:46 |
| usser | huwenfeng, if you dont have a printer you can just kill cups | 06:46 |
| huwenfeng | tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN | 06:46 |
| o0splitpaw0o | huwenfeng: If you want to stop all network/local printing | 06:46 |

| hechu|onsite | kandjar`, yea. runs with windows mobile 6.1. | 06:52 |
| Taldo_Ratone | hola amigos | 06:52 |
| laron | eth0 wont connect after update | 06:52 |
| kandjar` | id be insterested in too ;) I have a dell axim :) | 06:52 |
| laron | any ideas? | 06:52 |
| Aeosynth | o0splitpaw0o: awesome, thanks | 06:52 |
| laron | auto eth0 will not connect after 8.10 update | 06:53 |
| laron | worked before hand, updated and now will not work | 06:53 |
| laron | is this the right channel to be asking this in? | 06:54 |
| tom760` | Does anyone know if running a core2 duo CPU in 64bit mode improves program compilation performance much over 32bit mode? | 06:54 |
| crdlb | tom760`: as in the speed of compilation? I would guess so, but not to the same degree as tasks which make heavy use of floating point | 06:55 |
| waylandbill | laron, yes it is. I've found that I have to run a livecd before a dist-update or sometimes the kernel changes enough to have issues with my hardware. If it is a production system I stick with LTS. | 06:55 |
| tom760` | crdlb: ok, i'll give 64bit a try. it really makes a big improvement with floating point stuff? | 06:56 |
| waylandbill | crdlb, doing some compiles on multiple cores... maybe you'll get a little bit of performance boost from 32-64. It's not going to really make a difference until you seriously number crunch like do some video editing. | 06:58 |
| anilalur | Hi, how do I change DNS in network manager with DSL connection? | 06:58 |
| crdlb | waylandbill: did you mean to say that to tom760` ? | 06:59 |
| waylandbill | crdlb, yes. sorry. | 06:59 |
| hechu|onsite | did anybody knows how to access/read/write a windows mobile phone's storage from ubuntu 8.10? | 06:59 |
| tom760` | :) ok. it's nice to have an idea what to expect. thanks. | 06:59 |
| anilalur | I tried changing resolve.conf but it doesnt seem to work | 07:00 |
| laron | <waylandbill> now that ive updated, what can i do to fix it? | 07:00 |
| waylandbill | tom760`, don't make me think that 64 bit kind of sucks. I'm on a 64-bit system and love it. I do some intensive stuff though, so you should know what to expect. | 07:01 |
| usser | anilalur, adjust /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 07:01 |
| usser | aniiena, look at prepend lines | 07:02 |
| bexamous | chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf :P | 07:02 |
| bexamous | i hate dhcp changing stuff | 07:03 |
| bexamous | tho that'd be wrong way do doing things | 07:03 |
| anilalur | usser: I added opendns in prepend n removed domain-name-server from request | 07:04 |
| anilalur | still doesnt work | 07:04 |
| tom760` | waylandbill: i'm looking forward to trying it :) i just bought a new hard drive i haven't even opened yet. now i need to figure out a good partition / os setup. | 07:04 |
| usser | anilalur, you have to reconnect or rerun dhclient | 07:04 |
| waylandbill | laron: may not like the answer, but your update was logged to apt and dpkg logs. You may at the worst have to do some rolling back with those logs. First though is that your previous kernel is still there. Grub may still have the entry. You need to boot in the previous kernel and see if that is the issue. | 07:05 |
| laron | ok | 07:05 |
| anilalur | usser:OK I even restarted, it still uses the same DNS. is there something else I need to remove from request? | 07:06 |
| kandjar` | this sounds stuff is really irritating | 07:06 |
| laron | previous kernel does work | 07:07 |
| Hacker | does anybody have "Old Vmware Ubuntu images which contains Old version of Apache, mysql, php for pentesting lab pratice"? | 07:07 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about intel gfx | 07:07 |
| waylandbill | tom760`, personal preference is / and /home. Enough to hold the system on / and the rest on /home for your data. I put 10. Even now after 8-10 years, 10 gig is plenty for the system. Default install combines the two, but /home has many advantages. | 07:07 |

| usser | anilalur, right did those two server show up in /etc/resolv.conf? | 07:08 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: gnu chess wont play in 3d | 07:09 |
| waylandbill | laron, I thought that was what was happening. You can hold that kernel with synaptic or other package manager if you use another apt program. | 07:09 |
| anilalur | usser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124147/ | 07:09 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: i installed both python packages | 07:09 |
| usser | anilalur, thats your resolv.conf? | 07:09 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: so im guessing driver for laptops intel card is dodgy | 07:09 |
| crdlb | b1n42y: what happens exactly? | 07:09 |
| anilalur | usser: no, the resolv.conf still has the old server names | 07:10 |
| usser | anilalur, try putting domain-name-servers back in request | 07:10 |
| anilalur | usser: thats my dhclient.conf | 07:10 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: before i installed python libraries it asked me to do so, now it tries to render in 3d and falls back to 2d | 07:10 |
| waylandbill | laron, I say hold, because we don't control the kernel and the build and modules. You can talk to the packagers/developers, but the best thing to start with is a working system... hence the hold to keep you up and running | 07:10 |
| Stevethepirate | Whats a good way to securely share all my music so I acccess it [seemingly] natively from another PC... i.e. I want to be able the source as a dir on amarok, not have to download the song I want to listen to via ftp, add to library, listen, delete. | 07:11 |
| usser | anilalur, right, put domain-name-servers back in request. how do you connect to dsl? using networkmanager? | 07:11 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: my gfx card isnt crash hot but it should handle this, after all it manages to get scrorched 3d up (not playable though) | 07:11 |

| b1n42y | crdlb: so i run chess from terminal with 3d marked on ? | 07:12 |
| anilalur | usser: I put that back n reconnected. resolv.conf still has old DNS | 07:12 |
| crdlb | b1n42y: erm, when it fails, you will get the error in the terminal output | 07:12 |
| waylandbill | Stevethepirate: nfs, samba, some sort of networking file system to make the transfers appear seemless. | 07:13 |
| usser | anilalur, try removing one dns server from prepend line, cause im not sure what the separator between them should be? | 07:13 |
| usser | anilalur, are u using network manager to connect? | 07:14 |
| anilalur | usser: yes I use network manager, | 07:14 |
| laron | <waylandbill>whats the proper way to hold a kernel, or where can I find out? | 07:14 |
| Hacker | does anybody have "Old Vmware Linux images which contains Old version of Apache, mysql, php for pentesting lab pratice". I would really appreciate your help. | 07:14 |
| waylandbill | laron, Synatic, aptitude, etc.. the package managers give a hold option right in them when you mark the upgradable packages. | 07:14 |
| Hacker | I'm creating a lab for student | 07:14 |
| waylandbill | laron, you mark to upgrade, and then select the ones to put on hold. They will recall the hold the next time around. | 07:15 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: well im not sure how its supposed to output errors to terminal, but anyway i just ran it from terminal and it worked, however as soon as i make a move the screen turns to random coloured pixels the returns to normal | 07:15 |
| crdlb | b1n42y: are you using compiz? | 07:15 |
| laron | <waylandbill> thanks, greatly appreciated | 07:15 |
| waylandbill | laron, obviously, you mark the upgrade but modify it before submitting. | 07:15 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: not unless its installed by default | 07:16 |
| crdlb | b1n42y: it is | 07:16 |
| b1n42y | oh | 07:16 |
| disappearedng | my ubuntu can't detect my widescreen any ideas on how I can do so? | 07:16 |
| Stevethepirate | waylandbill: I think that sshfs is exactly what i want. | 07:16 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: to turn off appearance or do i need to remove it | 07:16 |

| duxbarak | whenever i try to watch video files, it plays really choppy, i'm running 64-bit 8.10 with an ati video card, help, anyone? | 07:17 |
| Stevethepirate | But thatnks for offer. | 07:17 |
| crdlb | b1n42y: due to limitations in Xorg, compositing managers like compiz pretty much break 3d apps with any driver other than nvidia's (which implements everything itself) | 07:17 |
| crdlb | b1n42y: just disable it in appearance | 07:17 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: thanks lets see if it works | 07:17 |
| fuji | nikmatin kebebasan dulu ah . . | 07:18 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: magic! lol thanks | 07:18 |
| waylandbill | Stevethepirate: yes. sshfs sounds reasonable. Keep in mind that a peer problem will need you to manually remount the way it was the last time I used it. Would be awesome if it was different since then. | 07:18 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: so is there an alternative that i can use for eye candy ? and can i still implement a pretty dock, widgets etc | 07:19 |
| usser | Stevethepirate, sshfs is not fast though, encryption overhead etc | 07:19 |
| crdlb | b1n42y: no, DRI2 will eventually allow it all to work toegether though | 07:20 |
| b1n42y | !DRI2 | 07:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about DRI2 | 07:20 |
| crdlb | -_- | 07:20 |
| anilalur | usser: changed permission of resolv.conf, the nameserver goes blank, still connected with old DNS | 07:20 |
| waylandbill | Stevethepirate: usser has a good point too. The gui if you use one could appear hung from the timing of sshfs. Don't know if that would be a concern for you or not | 07:21 |
| usser | anilalur, im not sure whats going on there sorry. :( | 07:21 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: composition manager is that for desktop effects, can i still install a dock and widgets? | 07:21 |
| crdlb | b1n42y: without a compositing manager, the transparency used in both will not work | 07:21 |
| melik | whats the difference between compositing and a window manager? | 07:21 |
| anilalur | usser: OK, thanks. I will try with wicd | 07:21 |
| crdlb | melik: one manages windows, one composites pixmaps (of window contents) together using either XRender or OpenGL | 07:22 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: when is this DRI2 going to be stable and implemented mainstream? | 07:23 |
| b1n42y | crdlb: wiki makes little sense to me too technical | 07:23 |
| disappearedng | hey any1 here uses widescreen with ubuntu | 07:23 |
| crdlb | melik: compiz does both, and xcompmgr is a simple proof-of-concept that was only a compositing manager | 07:23 |

| Swistak | how to save file using vim? | 07:57 |
| b1n42y | Laibsch: sorry dinner time, have you completely explored your bios optins | 07:57 |
| Swistak | insert for typing inside, how to save document now? | 07:57 |
| kriscolt | Swistak i think if you type !w | 07:57 |
| kriscolt | it will save the file | 07:57 |
| chachex | @Swistak, press escape, it's !w | 07:57 |
| chachex | wait | 07:57 |
| chachex | :w | 07:57 |
| chachex | my bad | 07:57 |
| chachex | if that doesn't save | 07:58 |
| chachex | then trying :w! (which forces the save) | 07:58 |
| Swistak | escape freeze my vim | 07:58 |
| chachex | it shouldn't | 07:58 |
| kriscolt | escape switches to command mode | 07:58 |
| chachex | that should get you back into command mode | 07:58 |
| chachex | from insert (when you press i) | 07:58 |
| laron | after insert (i) press esc then :w! | 07:59 |
| laron | or :w! filename | 07:59 |
| chachex | yup | 07:59 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | hey question: trying to burn a sabayon iso to a dvd-r and the write was verified but it doesnt work when loaded. is the dvd too small? it doenst say that it takes up the whole disk... | 07:59 |
| chachex | did you do an hash check? | 07:59 |
| chachex | *a hash | 07:59 |
| disappearedng | Man are there no fast update servers in China? | 07:59 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | dont know wat that is.. | 08:00 |
| chachex | it's when you run it against an md5 hash to make sure it was written correctly | 08:00 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | well u know what.. | 08:00 |
| chachex | the site you got the iso from should have an md5 hash near the download button | 08:00 |
| BeBoo_ | can someone help me with some wireless issues im having with 8.10? I notice if I go to Hardware Drivers, it sees me "Atheros 802.11 Wireless Card", i entered my wireless information in the Networking Config but it won't connect. any ideas? | 08:01 |
| kriscolt | grr.. i'm out of blank cd's | 08:01 |
| kriscolt | anyone know how i would mount an image file ? | 08:01 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | i only inserted the disk inside windows cus i was able to try ubuntu inside windows before i actually used it, is it possible that you can only load sabayon as a boot disk? | 08:01 |
| chachex | yeah | 08:01 |
| chachex | ubuntu has wubi which allows it to load in windows | 08:01 |
| chachex | most distros don't have that | 08:01 |
| zs | BeBoo: are you connected to ethernet as well? | 08:02 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | ahhhh | 08:02 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | ok | 08:02 |
| chachex | unfortunately, i've never used sabayon, so i don't know about that one | 08:02 |
| BeBoo_ | zs: no | 08:02 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | that explains it. | 08:02 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | i knew i wasnt doing anything wrong | 08:02 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | ok another question.. | 08:02 |
| kriscolt | !iso | 08:02 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 08:02 |
| defrysk | BeBoo_, on intrepid ? | 08:02 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | how do i install ubuntu and sabayon alongside each other? | 08:02 |

| === tave is now known as tegart | ||
| Rainium_Isotope_ | what option do i select upon installation when using it as a boot disk? | 08:03 |
| BeBoo_ | defrysk: thanks, i'll try it | 08:03 |
| chachex | @Rainium_Isotope, you need a separate partition for Sabayon, otherwise, grub should detect the other OSes and it should install fine | 08:03 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | i dont want to erase ubuntu | 08:03 |
| defrysk | BeBoo_, iirc you need to apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid | 08:04 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | but do i have to use it as a boot disk to install while still running ubuntu, and it wont erase? | 08:04 |
| chachex | if you select a partition that ubuntu's not on, then it won't erase ubuntu, do you know how to partition your hard drive? | 08:05 |
| nigga_please | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 This vid on the new Ubuntu release is pretty exciting. | 08:05 |
| defrysk | BeBoo_, after install the ath5k module should work correctly | 08:05 |
| BeBoo_ | defrysk: looks like it. i'll hook up eth0 and install it | 08:05 |
| brandon1 | yeah i was about to say | 08:05 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | grrr.. no, but i did download a partition editor incase i came across this type of problem.. | 08:05 |
| defrysk | BeBoo_, good luck | 08:06 |

| dustin | anyone know why my wireless signal is so crappy on ubuntu compared to winxp (switched) D: | 08:06 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | repeat: grrr.. no, but i did download a partition editor incase i came across this type of problem.. | 08:06 |
| chachex | usually when you run a linux install, it'll start gparted as part of the process | 08:06 |
| chachex | that will allow you to resize and create partitions | 08:07 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | oh cool | 08:07 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | will it notify me before i do something that might erase ubuntu? | 08:07 |
| chachex | it should | 08:07 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | k | 08:07 |
| chachex | ubuntu does, so does fedora | 08:07 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | ok good. | 08:08 |
| chachex | i don't see why sabayon would be different | 08:08 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | would you suggest fedora over sabayon? | 08:08 |
| chachex | @brandon, what do you mean 'delete' them? | 08:08 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | i need a kde desktop environment | 08:08 |
| chachex | are you talking about removing them from grub? | 08:08 |
| chachex | if you need kde | 08:08 |
| chachex | just install the kubuntu packages in ubuntu | 08:08 |
| chachex | no need to install another distro | 08:08 |

| BeBoo_ | defrysk: installing... *crosses fingers* | 08:20 |
| D_likescookies | anyone can tell me if gnome have something like the kde's desktop widgets? if so, anyone have a link of where to find them? | 08:22 |
| panesar_sandeep | spideryummy,Looks like you have a bad block, which could well be caused by the power outage. Boot with a live CD. Ensure that all partitions on your hdd are UNMOUNTED, and swap is turned off. (sudo swapoff -a) Use the commandsudo e2fsck -c -v /dev/sda to check for badblocks, and mark them so that they will not be used again. If you have the time, you can run a much more through (but much... | 08:22 |
| panesar_sandeep | ...longer) check with "sudo e2fsck -v -cc /dev/sda".Replace /dev/sda with your actual hard disk device. If there are too many bad sectors (blocks), maybe you should think about replacing the hard disk. | 08:22 |

| rdw200169 | melik, if you're *really* lucky, testdisk or photorec can do that | 08:42 |
| laststraw | OK. I've just installed Ubuntu and was 'playing' with Dolphin and have set folders to open with Picasa. I don't know how to undo it. | 08:42 |
| rdw200169 | melik, testdisk is in the repo, i dunno about photorec, they're both made by the same organization, grc.com i think | 08:42 |
| melik | i'll cross my fingers rdw200169 :/ | 08:42 |
| melik | or else there goes like 100 gigs of music | 08:42 |
| rdw200169 | melik, well, if the files were not overwritten, you may be able to just *hopefully* restore you're old partition table | 08:43 |
| rdw200169 | melik, ah, i was wrong, it was cgsecurity.org | 08:43 |
| melik | well i was just moving my partition table to another sector on my HDD, and my power cut off | 08:44 |

| Rainium_Isotope_ | ? | 08:47 |
| huwenfeng | any utility in ubuntu to safely delete a file? | 08:47 |
| bazhang | KalEl, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic not here | 08:47 |
| ziroday | huwenfeng: what do you mean? | 08:47 |
| huwenfeng | i mean, really non-recoverable. | 08:48 |
| ziroday | huwenfeng: shred | 08:48 |
| huwenfeng | safely, securely. | 08:48 |
| huwenfeng | ziroday: Oh, good. seems good, thx | 08:48 |
| Peddyt | melik, I accidentally my whole partition table, and testdisk easily recovered it. Open testdisk, choose your FS and 'analyse', then, if it finds the partition table, you can choose 'write'. If it does not find the partition table, you can do a 'deep search', which searches, deeper. :P | 08:48 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | ...anyone? | 08:48 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | alguien puede a ayudarme? | 08:49 |

| DizzyDoo | Question: Just got Ubuntu Server installed on a fresh box, what is the best way to check that it's connected to the internet successfully? | 08:53 |
| bazhang | Axlin, translating what | 08:53 |
| Axlin | bazhang: one language to another. most importantly, english to german and vice versa | 08:53 |
| quibbler | laststraw: i'm sorry, i don't know.....remove folders from shared folder?? | 08:53 |
| n_nick | ck peterson | 08:54 |
| dayo_ | DizzyDoo: try pinging something | 08:54 |
| bazhang | Axlin, articles, phrases, that sort of thing? | 08:54 |
| nathanial | DizzyDoo: find out your ip | 08:54 |
| Axlin | bazhang: nah, just single words | 08:54 |
| rakzor | I'm so hungry you guys. | 08:54 |
| DizzyDoo | dayo: so something like: ping google.com would work? | 08:54 |
| dayo_ | DizzyDoo: yep | 08:54 |
| b1n42y | is there a command history for pidgin | 08:54 |
| dayo_ | rakzor: same here. | 08:54 |
| bazhang | Axlin, just for single words the best option is the google translator | 08:54 |
| DizzyDoo | cheers dayo | 08:55 |
| Axlin | bazhang: i've been using a plugin for gnome do, but it doesn't work too well with accents | 08:55 |
| dayo_ | b1n42y: chat log, u mean? | 08:55 |
| dayo_ | DizzyDoo: u're welcome :-) | 08:55 |
| bazhang | http://translate.google.com/?hl=en Axlin I generally use that | 08:55 |
| b1n42y | dayo_: no like what im typing something like cli history | 08:55 |
| Axlin | bazhang: yeah that's what i've been using. i was just hoping for a desktop client. guess i'll just have to settle on google translate still. thanks | 08:56 |
| bazhang | Axlin, there is also scim, though that is generally geared to text entry (ie changing languages in what you type) and more so for asian languages | 08:56 |
| dayo_ | b1n42y: what u're typing? isn't that the chat log? | 08:56 |
| A|titudeSky | hii... i can see nokia phone in my 'places' but can't seem to transfer any mp3 into it (but i can view the contents), how do i change the permission of the data storage card ao i can transter files in it..?? | 08:56 |
| b1n42y | dayo_: default kde 3.5.10 program(ksirc i think has it but i like the setup of pidgin) | 08:56 |
| dayo_ | b1n42y: aaahh, u mean pressing ArrowUp, right? | 08:56 |
| Axlin | bazhang: oh interesting | 08:56 |
| b1n42y | dayo goto terminal and press up arrow and ull know what i mean | 08:56 |
| nathanial | Ok, is somebody here willing to help me get my bind server up?? Maybe somebody that is willing to remotely take a look? I have a feeling I'm doing something stupid, and that's why it isn't working :/ something small that I'm overlooking. | 08:57 |
| dayo_ | b1n42y: yeah, i don't think pidgin has that. but maybe there's a plugin | 08:57 |
| vigo | A|titudeSky: Are the files locked? or have a little permissions icon on them? | 08:57 |

I cannot find a way to undo this so now when I click on Home or any other folder it opens with Dolphin and I get this message: "The file or folder /home/xxxx/'file:/home/xxxx/Pictures' does not exist." Can anyone help me undo this please? | 09:40 |
| b1n42y | if i install basket which is designed for kde and it pulls in necessary stuff from kde libs will ubuntu run slower | 09:40 |
| b1n42y | laststraw1: there is a page on the net with a script that does that and then a script to undo it, i just reinstalled though | 09:41 |
| n2diy | b1n42y, yes, slightly, but you probably wouldn't know the difference. | 09:41 |
| b1n42y | n2diy: thanks | 09:41 |
| ziroday | laststraw1: right click on a folder, go to open with other application and select nautilus | 09:42 |
| n2diy | b1n42y, I run lots of KDE stuff here. | 09:43 |
| laststraw1 | b1n42y thanks. Would you have a link to the page? Or is it easier to re-install? | 09:43 |

| 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. | 09:45 |

| Raf_ | hi | 09:46 |
| b1n42y | laststraw1: sorry, but if you google you should find it was pretty much only 1 there, plus the undo script might not work as you did not use his install script but it will give you an idea on how to undo possibly, if you tinker alot i suggest you setup a virtual ubuntu using one of the many vms, i like virtualbox | 09:46 |

| IndyGunFreak | Raf_: not really sure on xchat-gnome, but all you have to do is add that server to your server list. | 09:47 |
| Raf_ | :) I tried that, but it doesn't seem to work. | 09:47 |
| Raf_ | I posted on a forum, and am still awaiting a reply | 09:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Raf_: then i would verify the info is correct | 09:47 |
| Raf_ | otherwise, can anyone recommend a good IRC client? | 09:47 |
| b1n42y | Salaatti: those type of questions are subjective in their answer, google msn linux programs then google review of each | 09:47 |

| Myrtti | Bushman: depends on which bluetooth related packages you've installed | 09:59 |
| ProstheticS | hmmm Myrtti its a very limited list | 09:59 |
| Acedip | is OOo 3 available in the repo | 10:00 |
| Bushman | Myrtti: well... none :P | 10:00 |
| rww | Acedip: OpenOffice.org 3 was not released in time to be tested and included in Ubuntu Intrepid/8.10. Ubuntu does not update packages in stable releases (like 8.10) to new major versions, so OOo3 will not enter intrepid-updates, but will be in Jaunty/9.04 when the latter comes out. There is no backport for OOo3 yet. Instructions to install UNOFFICIAL packages of OOo3: http://tinyurl.com/ooorg3 | 10:00 |
| Bushman | but in preferences there are 4 services listed | 10:00 |

| b1n42y | !bluetooth | Bushman | 10:00 |
| ubottu | Bushman: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 10:00 |
| Myrtti | Bushman: as Bluetooth isn't exactly something that all the computers come with default, you need to install some knicknacks for a) bluetooth in general to work b) have the services you want | 10:01 |
| zs | only if gnome-look.org would load now | 10:01 |
| zs | yeah | 10:01 |
| zs | like one cool thing you can do with bluetooth is | 10:01 |
| zs | your computer can sense when you are near by and it will unlock itself, and when you go away it locks.. | 10:01 |
| Bushman | Myrtti: in general it does work | 10:02 |
| Bushman | and all interesting me services are listed in preferences | 10:02 |
| bigzed | zs, you mean it unlocks itselt if your handy is near by? | 10:02 |
| zs | yeah, and generally you would have it on you | 10:02 |
| b1n42y | zs: lol i think its beeen down for like the last 3 hours im waiting also | 10:03 |
| bigzed | but isn't this unsecure? | 10:03 |

| DizzyDoo | Question: I've been trying to set up OpenSSH on my server, but I can't seem to connect to it on Putty on my Windows machine. Error being: "host does not exist", what should I check? | 10:04 |
| rww | DizzyDoo: what are you putting in as the hostname on putty? the server's IP address? | 10:04 |
| b1n42y | DizzyDoo: try connecting by ip | 10:04 |
| b1n42y | ;p | 10:05 |
| zs | bigzed: yeah but if someone wants your info it doesn't matter what you do, they will get it.. | 10:05 |
| zs | bigzed: it's just we are all small potatoes compared to who else is out there ie ceo's celebritys | 10:05 |
| DizzyDoo | rww, bln42y: The server does not have a static IP, how can I find the IP out? Since I'm on the network with the server, I was trying username@localhost or username@192.168.0.2 but neither work | 10:06 |
| b1n42y | can i be a tomatoe | 10:06 |
| zs | sure thing | 10:06 |
| zs | you just squish easier | 10:07 |
| rww | DizzyDoo: on the actual server, the IP address is in the output of ifconfig (look for "inet addr"). Alternatively, if you have admin access to the router you're using, many of them have a page that'll display the IP addresses of connected computers. | 10:07 |
| bedo2991 | anybody? | 10:08 |
| zs | so does anyone know if there is ever going to be a way to browse nfs shares just like you can with samba shares? | 10:08 |
| dr_Willis | zs, i doubt it. | 10:08 |
| zs | yeah, since samba works fine already | 10:09 |
| DizzyDoo | rww, I am connecting to the inet addr, which says it is 192.168.0.2 | 10:09 |
| dr_Willis | zs, thats not the reason.. NFS has a different design goal | 10:09 |
| zs | how so? | 10:09 |

| Rainium_Isotope_ | Q?: How do I configure my system to gnome instead of kde? | 10:12 |

| DizzyDoo | rww: I will (have already done so, but once more, just for you) | 10:12 |

| shepherd | i have no files saved? i have no my documents | 10:41 |

| rdw200169 | dominique, hmm.. you could try adding a network restart to rc.local | 10:41 |
| to3000 | go to aplcations, office, open office word prosseser, file open, find the resume and click on the printer | 10:41 |
| bazhang | shepherd, right click desktop create new document | 10:41 |
| to3000 | button | 10:41 |
| Grom | because I have broken /etc/sudoers | 10:41 |
| BeBoo_ | is there a x64 flash player? | 10:42 |
| rww | Grom: I'm guessing you chose to ignore the note in /etc/sudoers that you should only edit that file using the "visudo" command, not directly? | 10:42 |
| dominique | rdw200169: Yeah, but this is a bad solution i think... I mean, networking is executed while booting, isn'it? Why do i have to restart it...? | 10:42 |
| to3000 | you have a documents folder | 10:42 |
| Grom | and I dont know how to fix that. | 10:42 |
| s_spiff | rdw200169, i just installed nvidia-glx... no change afaik | 10:42 |

| bazhang | shepherd, you should listen carefully, or go talk to your cousin; this is support and not a chat channel | 10:43 |
| rdw200169 | dominique, i'm not sure, but i think the timeout for dhcp is reduced during boot to prevent seemingly *loooong* boot times, even though some routers are stubborn and make you wait a while for your IP address (like mine :( ) | 10:43 |

| dominique | rdw200169: Yeah, i had troubles last days with wireless, so I installed a few drivers i (probably) don't need. Maybe there's a conflict. Thank you, i'll try to remove some of them from modules | 10:44 |
| yellabs | hello all | 10:44 |
| ftab | Where can I find the Ubuntu Humun Theme Icons? | 10:44 |
| rdw200169 | s_spiff, hmm... i'm not sure with intrepid (i'm still using 8.04), but i think you need to set the driver in 'Screens' or something like that... | 10:44 |
| yellabs | is there someone who uses the hp mini mei dark theme? | 10:44 |
| yellabs | or any dark theme? | 10:44 |
| dominique | how can I login as a superuser while logged in as a non sudoer? | 10:44 |
| rdw200169 | dominique, you should check the syslog for a boot message that might help ;) | 10:44 |
| dominique | rdw200169: k... :) | 10:45 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | dominique, sudo -s, to get a root shell.. or otehr ways - depending on the task | 10:45 |
| s_spiff | rdw200169, okies... why's intrepid still so unorganized... ? | 10:45 |
| rww | ftab: They're in the human-icon-theme package, which installs them to /usr/share/icons/Human/ | 10:45 |
| bazhang | shepherd, right click desktop | 10:45 |
| rdw200169 | s_spiff, i dunno, like i said, i'm still not using it. regardless, did the restricted drivers manager give you a popup saying you had proprietary drivers available? | 10:45 |
| dominique | Dr_willis_AAO: doesn't work, it asks me for the root password for the account i'm logged in | 10:45 |
| bazhang | shepherd, select create new document | 10:45 |
| s_spiff | rdw200169, hmm..thanks :) | 10:46 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | dominique, it will only work for accopunts in the proper group. ie: the initiallymade user. | 10:46 |
| rdw200169 | s_spiff, and, on a side note, it seems that jaunty is gonna have a very nice gui for X.org | 10:46 |
| ftab | thank you rww: | 10:46 |
| ftab | :) | 10:46 |
| shepherd | look i dont want to creaate a new resume, i want the one my mom made for me | 10:46 |
| rww | ftab: You're welcome :). Glad I could help! | 10:46 |
| dominique | Dr_willis_AAO: k... so i'm not able to do it atm :) | 10:46 |
| bazhang | http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html here is a comprehensive guide shepherd | 10:46 |
| s_spiff | rdw200169, hmm..but that means it's just cleaning up the 8.10 :P | 10:46 |
| ftab | I just wanted to use those icons in my desktop application | 10:46 |
| bazhang | shepherd, then load it up, and edit or print after opening with open office | 10:47 |
| b1n42y | shepherd: ask your mom where the document is | 10:47 |
| rdw200169 | s_spiff, i'm sorry i couldn't help more... what I *do* know is that X.org doesn't *need* a config file anymore... you may need to use the nvidia config tool to create a quick xorg.conf so it will load the nvidia driver | 10:47 |
| shepherd | look, i have a job interview in six hours i dont have time to read i need answers now | 10:47 |
| Mr_Bananas | hello ubuntu technicians | 10:47 |

| b1n42y | IMO shepherd is pulling the wool over our eyes | 10:48 |
| Mr_Bananas | haha well you guys are the liberty technicians | 10:48 |

| shepherd | nothing is rolfmayo | 10:49 |
| bazhang | shepherd, so if you have a support question, then fire away, but for document management re your home environment please take it elsewhere | 10:49 |
| shepherd | thgis is serious | 10:49 |
| Myrtti | b1n42y: if you don't have anything constructive to say, please don't | 10:49 |
| rdw200169 | Mr_Bananas, having read over what i wrote, i realize that i may have been misleading... i was joking, not trying to extort money ;) | 10:49 |

| === [BillGates] is now known as [[BillGates]] | ||

| b1n42y | Mr_Bananas: libraries needed to run it | 10:56 |
| b1n42y | Mr_Bananas: once you install them its possible they will get used for another program | 10:56 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | Mr_Bananas, for windows and mac - from what ive seen.. youy download their installer.. then it gets the rest | 10:56 |
| vpol | can anybody suggest? when i maximize gnome-terminal, Xorg process takes 56% cpu. in normal mode 5% cpu. | 10:56 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | but does it really matter? If you want flash you do the download... | 10:56 |
| Mr_Bananas | yes yes but i thought the plugin to be somewhat smaller | 10:57 |
| WizardJames | So whats the chances that ubuntu installing on my laptop will pickup the wireless just fine, or should i start finding a cable to hook it up to the switch? | 10:57 |
| b1n42y | !hardware | 10:57 |
| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 10:57 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | WizardJames, totally depends on the chipset.. I would find a cable. | 10:57 |
| dominique | Where can i specify programs that have to be executed after booting but before x starts for all users? | 10:57 |
| rdw200169 | WizardJames, going with what Dr_willis_AAO says, find the chipset you're using and make sure it is compatible | 10:58 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | dominique, what sort of programs? | 10:58 |
| dominique | Dr_willis_AAO: like /etc/init.d/networking restart | 10:58 |
| rdw200169 | dominique, you can do that it /etc/rc.local | 10:58 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | dominique, /etc/rc.local if needed for that stuff | 10:58 |
| WizardJames | Well i found a few guides of people installing it on the same laptop and they had no problems, basicly does the cd install come with the wireless stuff | 10:58 |
| b1n42y | dominique: sys > admins > services? | 10:58 |
| dominique | rdw200169: Dr_willis_AAO: thank you! | 10:58 |
| quibbler | dominique: system-preferences-sessions | 10:58 |
| rdw200169 | Dr_willis_AAO, i win ;) | 10:58 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | dominique, since you want it done befor even anyone can login. :) | 10:59 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | rdancer, you where slow here... | 10:59 |
| dominique | rdw200169: No message found in boot log, i'll put restart networking into /etc/rc.local | 10:59 |
| dominique | Dr_willis_AAO: That's it :) | 10:59 |
| rdw200169 | dominique, i find the quick fix like that to be much easier than trying to dig in /etc/init.d/ files ;) | 11:00 |
| dominique | rdw200169: I can just put the line '/etc/init.d/networking restart' into the file? | 11:00 |

| Mr_Bananas | !welcome | 11:01 |
| ubottu | Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. | 11:01 |
| FredofzeVosges | Does anyone know how to print 598 xls files with a code? | 11:01 |
| dominique | it works | 11:01 |
| rdw200169 | FredofzeVosges, isn't that windows proprietary? | 11:02 |
| dominique | rdw200169: thank you :) | 11:02 |
| FredofzeVosges | The thing is I need to parse these files, but I would like to have them displayed all together like pictures in Picasa for instance | 11:02 |
| dominique | I'll do a reboot and have a look if it doing his job... brb | 11:02 |
| rdw200169 | dominique, if you want to get deeper into the problem... for example if you have random network drops... you can use something like monit to watch the network connection and restart it when necessary | 11:02 |
| FredofzeVosges | These are not my files, these are orders, and I have been asked to create a study on the parts ordered, costs... | 11:03 |
| Mr_Bananas | are there any HD movie player for linux? | 11:03 |
| Mr_Bananas | players | 11:03 |
| rdw200169 | dominique, i have to do this with my wireless connection... it has a bad habit of going stale or something ( i think its the garbage wireless router... ) | 11:03 |
| dominique | rdw200169: I got the network manager applet in the panel, which shows when somethings wrong, then i execute networking restart on my own | 11:03 |
| FredofzeVosges | I have OpenOffice installed, but this does not solve my problem... | 11:03 |
| rdw200169 | dominique, ah, that works too ;) i don't use NetworkManager b/c i have a lot of whacky networking things going on ;) | 11:03 |
| FredofzeVosges | How can I print them all with cups-pdf (my default printer)? | 11:04 |
| rdw200169 | FredofzeVosges, well, openOffice has the good 'ole print to pdf button in the toolbar... | 11:04 |
| dominique | rdw200169: hehe :) for me it's suffisent... worst things happen when i'm at my friends and log into his WAP encrypted wlan... this works awesome, but when i go home afterwards i have to take two hours before i can get into my unencrypted wlan... | 11:05 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | Mr_Bananas, You mean for HD-Movies on blueray disks? or somthing? or just 'hd' avi files? | 11:05 |
| rdw200169 | FredofzeVosges, you could try exporting the proprietary .xls file into something much more manageable | 11:05 |
| FredofzeVosges | rdw200169: I can not open and close 598 times!!! | 11:06 |
| Mr_Bananas | how can i view my blu-ray movie? | 11:06 |
| rdw200169 | FredofzeVosges, ohhh, i get it now, what you meant... i thought it was a typo... | 11:06 |
| dominique | Mr_Bananas: Bluray cd drive, bluray driver..you got these things? | 11:07 |
| FredofzeVosges | rdw200169: I have found how to export in batch my xls to ods, but it does not help me on how to have them printed in pdf | 11:07 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | you could some how script openoffice to open/pring them I imagine.. | 11:07 |
| FredofzeVosges | Dr_willis_AAO: any clue of where I can find such code? | 11:08 |

| s_spiff | Dr_willis_AAO, umm.. ok | 11:35 |
| s_spiff | Dr_willis_AAO, no change :( | 11:35 |
| fosco_ | abchirk: not sure, just try, if uuid does not work use partition names | 11:35 |
| Chiliblack | Dr_willis_AAO, The AAO works pretty well under osx and I just neded 'something to sync my garmin watch and my ipod too without running through hoops and couldn't face windows anymore | 11:36 |
| abchirk | ok | 11:36 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | s_spiff, ive had dozens of realtek cards. and most all have worked fine. if lspci isent showing it.. theres some deep issue going on. | 11:36 |
| b1n42y | s_spiff: tried disabling onboard in bios? | 11:36 |
| s_spiff | Dr_willis_AAO, i know! this used to work on hardy... dunno whats wrong right now.. altho i've had such an issue before too.. the only thing resolved it was a fresh reinstalltion | 11:36 |
| joakimk | g++ tells me, "graph.h:27:20: error: libpq-fe: No such file or directory" | 11:37 |
| s_spiff | b1n42y, umm.. i need both my cards :| | 11:37 |
| joakimk | where line 27 is #include <libpq-fe.h> | 11:37 |
| Chiliblack | find a live cd of hardy and try it | 11:37 |
| joakimk | ...I'm thinking this is more an Ubuntu issue, than a C++ issue :) | 11:37 |
| joakimk | I've tried apt-get install libpq, and variations like libpq-dev, etc | 11:38 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, you would add the .so for pam_tally to the /etc/pam.d/common-auth, then use pam_tally binary to print the count using some bash-magic (very easy) | 11:38 |
| quibbler | joakim-: in a terminal type: apt-cache search libpq | 11:39 |
| hmw | rdw200169 - thanks for the hint, quite interesting stuff. I still need to look at pam. btw: pam_tally seems not to display "my attempted logins' status" | 11:39 |
| b1n42y | s_spiff: tturn it off, see what happens, if it picks up realtek turn on onboard | 11:40 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, that is because, by default, that pam module is not used | 11:40 |
| b1n42y | s_spiff: might be an irq issue | 11:40 |
| joakimk | quibbler: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124221/ :) | 11:40 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, ubuntu uses Pluggable Authentication Modules for the auth process of, well, pretty much everything... a very powerful and useful system | 11:40 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | s_spiff, check dmesg output perhaps some info in there.. This maybe a bit hard to troubleshoot. | 11:41 |
| hmw | rdw200169 - ic, thanks. Guess i will be either grepping the faillog or living with the output of lastlog | 11:41 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, for example, using PAM, you can use a card reader and a Smart Card to log in, circumventing /etc/passwd | 11:41 |
| joakimk | btw, here's my compiler errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124222/ | 11:41 |
| hmw | rdw200169 - that' quite cool | 11:41 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, trust me, this is *much* easier | 11:41 |
| s_spiff | b1n42y, Dr_willis_AAO okies..will check | 11:42 |
| quibbler | joakimk: you are on your own now ...i know zero about c++.... | 11:42 |
| joakimk | quibbler: :) But did apt-cache tell you something? | 11:42 |
| joakimk | quibbler: didn't mean to hit you with compiler dump ;) | 11:42 |
| hmw | rdw200169 - i got a reader, where do i get a card? | 11:42 |
| s_spiff | b1n42y, what's an irq issue? | 11:43 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, once the pam_tally.so is in your /etc/pam.d/common-auth, failed attempts end up in /var/log/faillog... then you would just add a line to your bashrc that runs the binary, pam_tally --user $USER | 11:43 |
| quibbler | joakimk: it's telling you what files are available in apt-get relating to libpq | 11:44 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, hmm... you can either use something like the OpenPGP card (which is a *pain* to get), or use something like a DoD Common Access Card (that's what I do) | 11:44 |
| b1n42y | s_spiff: interrupt requests | 11:45 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, you can also use something like pam_poldi to use a thumbdrive to log in based on the UUID of the drive | 11:45 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, but i don't consider that very safe... it does work though ;) | 11:45 |
| hmw | rdw200169 - i was about to ask... that's good news | 11:45 |
| s_spiff | b1n42y, umm ok.. sorry non-techie here... used to mess around with ubuntu a lot before..but its been over a year since i touched it.. so kinda forgotten stuff. | 11:46 |
| b1n42y | s_spiff: some devices may want exclusiveness, in the old day sound cards wanted irq 5 and werent happy to share maybe something along those lines is happening | 11:46 |
| hmw | rdw200169 - how would I approch faking such a thumbdrive? | 11:46 |
| hmw | rdw200169 - i mean, if i was to "steal" my own key | 11:46 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, it's nothing about faking... hold on, lemme get you a link | 11:46 |
| disown | i'm looking for some command-line scripts that let you show gui components. I think i've seen it before, but forgot the name... | 11:47 |
| s_spiff | b1n42y, but i have had the same setup ( same two controllers) work on breexy.. hoary.. edgy and hardy | 11:47 |
| s_spiff | so no reason it shouldnt work on intrepid | 11:47 |
| b1n42y | s_spiff: if after disabling onboard, realtek works try moving realtek to dif pci slot and enabling onboard | 11:47 |
| hmw | rdw200169 - in other terms, what is the security issue with a flash drive? | 11:47 |
| joakimk | I've installed (apt-get) libpqxx-dev. Do I need to reboot or something for these to take effect? I'm still getting compiler errors. | 11:47 |
| s_spiff | b1n42y, i will do that in a bit and get back to you. | 11:47 |
| b1n42y | s_spiff: its a suggestion | 11:47 |
| disown | something like '$show-alert: out of battery' | 11:47 |
| s_spiff | b1n42y, i understand :) thanks. | 11:48 |
| b1n42y | np hope it works | 11:48 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, wait, i was thinking of pam_usb... i.e. libpam-usb | 11:48 |
| Oli`` | Anybody know how I can "virtually" merge the contents of two real directories into one? I have two directories on two drives storing different parts of a ton of video clips. I want to merge them (in a read-only way, if that simplifies things) so I can put them out as a samba share and they'll look like one directory | 11:49 |
| hmw | rdw200169 - are UUIDs changeable? | 11:49 |
| rdw200169 | hmw: http://pamusb.org/ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=17571 http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Pam_usb_authentication | 11:49 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, those links should get you started in trying this.. just be careful! if you screw up your PAM configuration(s)... you computer becomes quite difficult to login to! | 11:50 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | you can change a drives UUID yes. :) | 11:50 |
| hmw | Dr_willis_AAO - thx | 11:50 |
| quibbler | joakimk: you may have more help in ##c++ | 11:51 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, i used to use that PAM module to immediately lock the screen when i pulled the thumb drive out... then when i needed to log in, i put the drive back in *and* put in my password | 11:51 |
| hmw | rdw200169 - nice | 11:52 |
| hmw | rdw200169 - how will sudo look like? | 11:52 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, sudo is un-changed and for the most part, unrelated | 11:52 |
| hmw | ic | 11:52 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, sudo relies upon PAM, just like everything else | 11:52 |
| hmw | doesnt matter, i am a fan of sudo -i | 11:52 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, if PAM says a user is authenticated, then sudo is happy | 11:53 |
| hmw | i want to be asked, and answering with y/n | 11:53 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, then sudo authentication gets into visudo, but that's a story for another day | 11:53 |
| tjanda | im back | 11:54 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, if you look in the /etc/pam.d directory, you will notice that many login related apps have their own files in there | 11:54 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, and most of them point to common-* | 11:54 |
| dayo_ | mv doesn't work on directories. what does? | 11:54 |
| b1n42y | has anyone successfully setup evolution with gmail and imap | 11:55 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, if you want, for example, sudo to *always* request a password from /etc/password, then you would modify /etc/pam.d/sudo to reflect that | 11:55 |
| hmw | rdw200169 - that's why i wanted an LFS as a workstation - too much stuff in Linux *g* I am still learing | 11:55 |

| === Administrator___ is now known as xxsally | ||
| dayo_ | hmw: i want to move a directory. | 11:57 |
| hmw | dayo_ what dirs are you trying to move? mv should do it normally. | 11:57 |
| rdw200169 | hmw, just go do some research in PAM and you'll be setting up ldap directories with Kerberos back-ends in no time | 11:58 |
| dayo_ | hmw: hang on, let me try something | 11:58 |
| hmw | dayo_ maybe you tried to move something, which contains a mount point to another file system | 11:58 |
| nosyc | what sftp server should I use? | 11:59 |
| rdw200169 | nosyc, openssh-server is a sftp server | 11:59 |
| nosyc | so I connect to it on the ssh port? | 12:00 |

| luciash | oCean_: hmm, .profile symlinked to .bash_profile behaves the same when i launch new terminal | 12:20 |
| nosyc | as root: ntpdate[24080]: step-systime: Operation not permitted | 12:20 |
| jrib | luciash: .profile will only get sourced on login | 12:20 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | luciash, i was thinking ONE or the OTHER got read by the login shells.. | 12:20 |
| WizardJames | O wow things have changed so much in the past years, connected to my vista computer without a problem..heck, most xp computeres wont connect to my vista computer without something going wrong | 12:21 |
| jrib | nosyc: ... read the links ubottu gave you instead of just running commands | 12:21 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | luciash, xterm -ls, would read .bash_profile if it exists not .bashrc,,, normal xterm would read just .bashrc :) | 12:21 |
| oCean_ | luciash: edit ~.bashrc | 12:21 |
| oCean_ | luciash: that'll do the trick | 12:21 |
| luciash | i will try, thanks | 12:21 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | luciash, to test all this you can put a 'echo This is .bash_profile' or similer line at the start of eah file.. to see when each one is getting read. | 12:22 |
| === adam is now known as Guest26527 | ||
| nosyc | jrib: have you read it? It says run `ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com` | 12:22 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | luciash, and you can 'source' one from the others.. ie. .bash_profile could 'source .bashrc' at the end. | 12:22 |
| freedomyug | boohbah, any clues ? | 12:23 |
| freedomyug | on ltsp stuff? | 12:23 |
| luciash | well, i'll try to play with it... i have no idea when it got changed and why exactly | 12:23 |
| Boohbah | freedomyug: unfortunately you haven't provided enough information for anyone here to diagnose the issue | 12:24 |
| herve76__ | now it is working I had relog again to make it work | 12:24 |
| herve76__ | thankx guys | 12:24 |
| herve76__ | have a good idea | 12:24 |
| Boohbah | freedomyug: do you see any relevant error messages in syslog or Xorg.0.log ? | 12:25 |
| jrib | nosyc: none of the links say that. You might get the same error though if you do what the links do say | 12:25 |
| === Guest26527 is now known as wolf | ||

| s_spiff | b1n42y, didn't work... tried a different PCI slot... and still not detected... | 12:25 |
| s_spiff | :( | 12:25 |
| freedomyug | i dont see anything fishy in the error logs, neither Xorg.6.log on client, nor in syslogs, ldm.log etc | 12:25 |
| shadeslayer | i save the file,its contents are the same,but it gives me a error | 12:25 |
| freedomyug | there is an nbd error, which is ignorable., as i also switched to nfs and tested, its the same | 12:26 |
| sky_ | how i can install linux distros under vbox ? | 12:26 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | sky_, run vbox, tell it to mount the iso.. boot the iso.. start installing | 12:27 |
| shadeslayer | sky_: its quite simmple | 12:27 |
| shadeslayer | yeah | 12:27 |
| jrib | nosyc: so is this on a vps? | 12:27 |
| Dr_willis_AAO | Time to read the vbox docs. :) | 12:27 |
| jrib | or some virtualized system? | 12:27 |
| luciash | sky_: dload linux distro iso and then just follow the wizard | 12:27 |
| shadeslayer | then install using the iso and wallah | 12:27 |
| shadeslayer | *voila | 12:27 |
| nosyc | jrib: yeah, the clock needs to be set on the parent machine instead | 12:28 |

| JediMaster | Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows about bonding to internet connections to a remote server to double (or more) the bandwidth? | 15:14 |
| phantom | Hi im going to buy a monitor and have a question: Is HDMI an alternative to DVI-D or something i soudn't live without? | 15:14 |
| SiDi | Hi, does anyone know where i can find libiptc ? | 15:14 |
| rain | alsamixer can only set how loud is voice, but it dont let me tell if I want more or less bass | 15:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JediMaster: if its on the same single wan connection (single isp) you wont gain any speed | 15:15 |
| SiDi | phantom: HMDI is practical cause you can plug next-gen consoles on it, avoiding the cost of a tv :) | 15:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JediMaster: 2 isps can give you more speed (2 wan ips) | 15:15 |
| Titan8990 | phantom, hdmi will transfer both sound and video, its good for home theatre but not very nescessary for computers | 15:15 |
| JM42 | hmmm, and the very reason why I want to bond two adsl lines rears it's ugly head again... bah, got disconnected lol | 15:16 |
| === JM42 is now known as JediMaster | ||
| JediMaster | ActionParsnip1: that's what I'm doing | 15:16 |
| JediMaster | I've got two different ISPs on two seperate ADSL lines/telephone lines | 15:16 |
| phantom | thanx all you said exactly what i was hoping | 15:16 |
| rain | is there difference between mixer and equalizer? | 15:16 |
| scv | oi | 15:17 |
| JediMaster | I want to try and connect the two lines together and create some sort of bonded VPN to a remote server that has a 100Mbps net connection | 15:17 |
| qcjn | hi, can i add app in keyboard shortcuts ?? if so how ?? | 15:17 |
| cooldduuudde | rain yeah it's a mixer not an equiliser | 15:17 |

| archman | panesar_sandeep: ok using pulseaudio | 15:19 |

| JediMaster | ActionParsnip1: surely it's possible with some sort of VPN to split the datatranser down two lines and recombine at the other end with an IP on the remote network? | 15:20 |
| wolter | hola | 15:20 |
| Titan8990 | JediMaster, typically, what you are talking about is only used to add redudendency(sp) and not additional speed | 15:21 |
| exodus_ms | panesar_sandeep, you still looking for dental management application? | 15:21 |
| scunizi | JediMaster: you want to bind them kinda like the older isdn line use to work.. actually some radio stations still use that technology.. unfortunatly it won't work in your case | 15:21 |
| JediMaster | Titan8990: I understand failovers etc, but that's not what I'm looking for | 15:21 |
| qcjn | SiDi: ok | 15:21 |
| JediMaster | scunizi: why not? | 15:22 |
| JediMaster | I still don't understand why there's not a nice easy way of splitting bandwidth in a round-robin way through a vpn through two WAN IPs to a remote server that then recombines it? | 15:22 |
| Jampiter | Hi | 15:22 |
| Jampiter | Is there a script or other software available to PERMANENTLY fix the no-floppy-support bug in intrepid? | 15:23 |
| diuneigh | can someone help me install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29.pkg1.run ? | 15:23 |
| Jeruvy | JediMaster: are you talking upstream or downstream connections? | 15:23 |
| Titan8990 | !nvidia | diuneigh | 15:23 |
| ubottu | diuneigh: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 15:23 |
| scunizi | JediMaster: you've got two pipes from two vendors going different directions.. one can't check and direct the data packets on the other.. any data responses you get can't be managed down two seperate pipes from "anywhere" | 15:23 |
| Titan8990 | diuneigh, you should use ubuntu methods and not that package | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JediMaster: seems like shorewall can do it, its not something ive done | 15:23 |
| diuneigh | !nvidia | 15:23 |
| JediMaster | Jeruvy: both ideally, downstream if not | 15:23 |

| === ircmaxell is now known as Guest26016 | ||
| JediMaster | Jeruvy: As I was trying to say before, I have remote server that I could potentially install a VPN on, so there shouldn't be any problem splitting upstream and downstream between the two ISPs | 15:26 |
| exodus_ms | gladideg, right-click on the workspace located on the panel, choose preferences and change the names from 'Desktop 1' Desktop 2' etc | 15:26 |
| Jampiter | Anyone? | 15:27 |
| Jeruvy | JediMaster: that could be done, but it would take a fair bit of configuration, from the sounds of it, why not just establish two tunnels and use each one separately? | 15:27 |
| gldtn | exodus_ms, no such config option under preferences :/ | 15:27 |
| Laibsch | I wonder if somebody can help me with working around a problem I seem to be having with shared interrupts (until a proper fix for bug 334957 is found) | 15:27 |
| archman | panesar_sandeep: also they say there's an eq plugin in gstreamer-plugins-bad, which we already have, but I don't know how to use it... | 15:28 |
| JediMaster | Jeruvy: because the bulk of the data is coming from one server, and it's tough to split it through two streams | 15:28 |
| JediMaster | Jeruvy: I don't mind the configuration =) | 15:28 |

| archman | panesar_sandeep: you tried it? | 15:30 |
| scunizi | JediMaster: think of it this way.. if you have two bound channels with different isp's and your machine sends out packets.. some will travel on one isp and some on the other.. the address header in a stream of packets lets routers know what to expect.. if a router doesn't recieve what is expected because a packet goes down the other pipe then it will reqeust that it be resent.. if it's resent down the opposit pipe it'll request again, and | 15:30 |
| philipp | panesar_sandeep_ there is no such programm | 15:30 |
| Jeruvy | JediMaster: well one of the better packages I know of is Pure Load Balancer, but I've never used it with ubuntu. | 15:30 |
| Jampiter | Is there a script or other software available to PERMANENTLY fix the no-floppy-support bug in intrepid? Anyone at all? | 15:30 |
| gldtn | exodus_ms, yes, I did get that, but there is no option to change the name.. do you think I need this>http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Tools/Workspace-Name-Applet-15863.shtml | 15:31 |
| Jeruvy | JediMaster: but it works (I have twin wan also) | 15:31 |
| erUSUL | Jeruvy: if you describe the bug or give a link to te bug report..... | 15:31 |
| JediMaster | scunizi: I think I'm not quite explaining this properly, I'm not asking my ISPs to do anything, I want them to send/receieve packets to/from a server I have externally from this location, that will then recombine it on that end using something like a VPN | 15:31 |
| JediMaster | on the remote server | 15:32 |
| scunizi | JediMaster: no.. I got it.. but consider that there are lots of routers that are looking at your data between you and your endpoint.. | 15:32 |
| exodus_ms | gldtn, when you right click on the workspace box on the panel did you get a Workspace Switcher Preferences box? Inside tha box should be an area labled Workspace names: | 15:32 |
| archman | panesar_sandeep_, ok i'm gonna try it, you tried it already? | 15:33 |
| JediMaster | scunizi: the routers between my ISPs and my external server shouldn't care about it | 15:33 |
| drhouse_ | how can i install kde 4 on ibex? | 15:33 |
| scunizi | JediMaster: those in-be-tween routers are expecting to pass complete packets.. if part of a packet makes it down the opposite pipe confusion results. | 15:33 |
| exodus_ms | gldtn, after you have made the name changes, check the box that says: Show workspace names in switcher | 15:33 |
| JediMaster | scunizi: I can see how synchronising the packets could be tough, but with some sort of buffer it shouldn't be too hard | 15:34 |
| Jampiter | Is there a script or other software available to PERMANENTLY fix the no-floppy-support bug in intrepid? | 15:34 |
| Jeruvy | JediMaster: it's near impossible upstream. | 15:34 |
| JediMaster | scunizi: these routers will see a full packet going to a server and just send it, as it'd be encapsulated in some vpn protocol | 15:34 |
| erUSUL | Jampiter: describe the bug or give a link to te bug report..... | 15:35 |

| gldtn | exodus_ms, thanks | 15:48 |
| Titan8990 | smacfarl, use the alternate installer, configure xorg.conf manually before first boot | 15:48 |
| scunizi | perlmonkey: it won't "upgrade" to the next release.. it occationally pulls packages that need upgrading.. I always sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:48 |

| ActionParsnip1 | smacfarl: did you md5 check your iso and check the cd once it was burned? | 15:48 |
| philipp | sidi yes... it pops up even the cd is empty | 15:48 |

| ActionParsnip1 | !flash | simplex | 15:49 |
| ubottu | simplex: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 15:49 |
| exodus_ms | gldtn, are you using visual effects? | 15:49 |
| Titan8990 | !alternate | smacfarl | 15:49 |
| ubottu | smacfarl: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 15:49 |
| archman | saurabh: simply erase the folder ;) | 15:49 |

| SiDi | philipp: well i don't know then. i never use burning apps so i don't know what to do after that, if noone answers here you should have a look at the forums though | 15:50 |
| archman | saurabh: wait, do you want to erase wine or erase some app under wine? | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !bootoptions | 15:50 |
| ubottu | For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 15:50 |
| smacfarl | Actionparsnipl:boot options? | 15:50 |
| exodus_ms | gldtn, ok, looks like a compiz problem. The workaround would be to turn off Compiz, change the workspace names and then turn Compiz on again (through System -> Preferences -> Appearance). The changes should "stick". | 15:50 |

| scunizi | wers: no.. | 15:52 |
| gldtn | exodus_ms, doesn't stick :/ | 15:52 |
| SiDi | philipp: then maybe its a problem with the rights with which the CD is mounted | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | philipp: when you insert a cd, wait a little bit then run dmesg | tail | 15:52 |
| saurabh | wats wine repo????????? | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | philipp: see whats going on | 15:52 |
| wers | scunizi, i'm on my administrator account. any idea why i dont have permissions? | 15:53 |
| exodus_ms | gldtn, so, got to system>preferences>appearance>none then right click on your workspace on the panel and choose preferences>change workspace names and check the box 'show workspace names in switcher. See if it works, if it does, then enable your visual effects by going to system>preferences>apearance | 15:53 |
| archman | saurabh, it's some place from where you take apps LOL | 15:53 |
| SiDi | philipp: possibly your system thinks its a normal CD drive and mounts it only with reading rights, instead of read/write rights | 15:53 |

| Jeruvy | lasivian: try by disabling all your plugins to see if they are the problem. | 15:53 |
| SiDi | philipp: you should check your /etc/fstab file, there should be a line for your CD burning drive, and on this line, there should be a "ro" amongst the options | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | saurabh: see how i write your name at the start of every line, thats not an accident | 15:53 |

| ikonia | nerve: what is the problem | 16:10 |
| nerve | i mean i badly need to complete thisproject | 16:10 |
| ikonia | nerve: what is the problem | 16:11 |
| simplex | One of my file browser windows has become unresponsive. How do I close it? | 16:11 |
| Jeruvy | nerve: type 'gedit'.... | 16:11 |
| nerve | i ve a perl project to be submitted | 16:11 |
| nerve | and i needed a ide | 16:11 |
| nerve | for perl | 16:11 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, where did you install mythtv from, that sources.list seems a bit truncated | 16:11 |
| Titan8990 | simplex, ps aux | grep 'nautilus' | 16:11 |
| MeI | nickrud, lol sorry, http://paste.ubuntu.com/124315/ | 16:11 |
| nerve | but i cant get ne. | 16:11 |
| nickrud | MeI, like http://paste.ubuntu.com/124314/ . But I've seen that one. I also need /etc/apt/sources.list , and the output of aptitude search ~b | 16:11 |
| Titan8990 | simplex, then: sudo kill PIDOFNAUTALIS | 16:11 |
| nerve | so i decided to stick to editors | 16:11 |
| Jeruvy | !enter | nerve | 16:11 |
| ubottu | nerve: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 16:11 |
| ikonia | nerve: I'm not aware of perl ide's - I'd look in #perl for advice | 16:11 |
| Jeruvy | nerve: go to activestates web site for an ide. | 16:12 |
| perlmonkey | bazhang: i just did an apt-get install mythtv-backend, after doing apt-get update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade | 16:12 |
| Titan8990 | nerve, usually only compiled languages have IDE becuase they are not needed for scripting languages | 16:12 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, no other repos? that seems to be a truncated sources.list | 16:12 |
| DarkKnight | hey whenever i hibernate my system and then come back from hibernation i get a error message saying that there was an error in hibernation...cn anyone help me out | 16:13 |
| Chaorain | Is there a way to install parts of another ubuntu install? i.e. get part of Ubuntu UE on a vanilla Ubuntu (wubi install inside vista) | 16:13 |
| nerve | i tried Eclipse with a perl plugin but i cant seem to get it working | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkKnight: run dmesg | tail | 16:13 |
| ikonia | Chaorain: ubuntu UE is not an ubuntu product | 16:13 |
| smacfarl | can i add an xrandr command to the livecd boot options? | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkKnight: when you unhibernate | 16:13 |
| ikonia | Chaorain: it is also not supported here | 16:13 |
| perlmonkey | bazhang: nothing, i dunno what happened to my sources.list | 16:13 |
| nerve | so the final verdit on a good editor for programming would be | 16:13 |
| Titan8990 | nerve, just use gedit, vim, or emacs | 16:13 |
| Titan8990 | nerve, or jedit | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | or xedit | 16:13 |
| simplex | titan8990: that didnt help | 16:13 |
| Chaorain | ikonia, is that a no or a we don't care? | 16:14 |
| ikonia | nerve: what ever text editor you are comfortable with | 16:14 |
| Titan8990 | simplex, sorry? | 16:14 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, did you have to force install anything or get other errors associated with myth install? | 16:14 |
| nerve | ok thank you titan and action ,ikonia | 16:14 |
| simplex | its tempting to press ctrl alt del | 16:14 |
| nerve | cheers guys | 16:14 |
| ikonia | Chaorain: 1.) ubuntu UE is nothing to do with ubuntu 2.) ubuntu UE doesn't have anything ubuntu does 3.) ubuntu UE is not supported here | 16:14 |

| Titan8990 | simplex, did nautilus not show up in ps aux? | 16:14 |

| PrimoTurbo | I want to recompile the kernel with a custom configuration, I am looking for a website that outlines each option in detail. I can't find one, has anyone come across such a site? Thanks. | 16:15 |
| simplex | titan8990: let me try again | 16:15 |
| nickrud | MeI, still there? | 16:15 |
| Titan8990 | simplex, only restarts x server, not the whole machine | 16:15 |
| Titan8990 | simplex, I may be spelling nautilus wrong | 16:15 |
| Titan8990 | !nautilus | 16:15 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus | 16:15 |
| ikonia | PrimoTurbo: why do you want to recompile the kernel - what option do you want ? | 16:15 |
| bullgard4 | http://freshmeat.net/projects/evolution-data-server/ "The Evolution Data Server provides a single database for common, desktop-wide information, such as a user's address book or calendar events." Where can I find listed what other data is in this database? | 16:15 |
| Chaorain | ikonia. are we talking about the same Ubuntu UE? http://ultimateedition.info/ | 16:16 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, which version of mythtv? were you mixing repos or something along those lines? | 16:16 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: that is not an ubuntu issue | 16:16 |
| smacfarl | titan8990: can i add an randr command to the livecd custom boot command line? | 16:16 |
| ikonia | Chaorain: correct NOTHING to do with ubuntu | 16:16 |
| bazhang | Chaorain, its not supported | 16:16 |
| bazhang | Chaorain, please stop | 16:16 |
| del | I need to make sure that eth0 and eth1 do not switch NIC's. My question is, what file do I edit? In looking around, I see that /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules looks to be the file to edit. Am I correct? | 16:16 |
| PrimoTurbo | I just want to recompile the kernel to speed up my system (whatever the insignificant increase is) I need an outline of all the option and infomation about them I know gconfig provides that but I want more detail about each option and how it's used. | 16:16 |
| Titan8990 | smacfarl, not sure, I always use the alternate installer | 16:17 |
| nickrud | PrimoTurbo, in the docs section of the kernel source | 16:17 |
| Titan8990 | smacfarl, which is why I recommended it, its yet to fail on me | 16:17 |
| perlmonkey | bazhang: phew I'm not sure, I had mythtv installed on this machine ages ago but I thought I had removed it, it's not on my Xfce Menu anyway | 16:17 |
| awell | I have ebox setup on my ubuntu server. Where is a good guide to help me understand it? | 16:17 |
| ikonia | PrimoTurbo: thats nothing to do with ubuntu either 1.) recompiling your kernel won't make your system any faster 2.) it will cause problems if you don't know what the options are 3.) it will break your package manager of any packages related to the kernel 4.) it will not be supported here | 16:17 |
| smacfarl | actionparsnip:can i add an xrandr command as a boot option on the live cd? | 16:17 |
| ikonia | awell: the ubuntu introduction on "http://start.ubuntu.com" | 16:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkKnight: is that pastebin after you wake up? | 16:18 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, you are using hardy currently correct? | 16:18 |
| scunizi | perlmonkey: you might have a ~/.<something> config file/directory hiding. | 16:18 |
| Titan8990 | smacfarl, I don't think xrandr is a kernel boot option... | 16:18 |
| Titan8990 | smacfarl, if it was, then yet | 16:18 |
| DarkKnight | ActionParsnip1; yes | 16:18 |
| ikonia | awell: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/index.html | 16:18 |
| perlmonkey | bazhang: I think I was using 7.04 feisty before I did dist-upgrade | 16:18 |
| bazhang | sources.list.d? | 16:18 |
| perlmonkey | ok I will check | 16:19 |
| Titan8990 | smacfarl, but I guess you could try booting then switching to a tty and trying | 16:19 |
| PrimoTurbo | ikonia: I am not worried about any of that, I am simply asking for a list of all the options. An yes recompiling the kernel can have some increase in speed if done properly. | 16:19 |
| ikonia | PrimoTurbo: then you should know what your doing | 16:19 |
| picca | wow managed to get ubuntu 8.10 to work with my freevents x55 - this is a great day | 16:19 |
| ikonia | PrimoTurbo: providing kernel option support is not part of ubuntu's support | 16:19 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, did you upgrade feisty correctly before upgrading version, and how long ago was this | 16:19 |
| perlmonkey | phew I got like sources.list.d sources.list.distUpgrade sources.list.save | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkKnight: i'd read all of dmesg but start at the bottom mand read back | 16:19 |
| del | Looks like /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules already has lines that will keep the eth0 and eth1 with the same NICs so... maybe there is no need to change or edit anything. RIght? | 16:19 |
| del | I guess that used to be a problem, but not any more... ? | 16:20 |
| PrimoTurbo | ikonia: I know what I am doing but I need more options, simply asking if anyone knows a site that lists them all. Offically ubuntu support doesn't support a lot of things but people still ask?.. | 16:20 |
| perlmonkey | bazhang: feisty was done properly I think and running fine until now.. I did apt update, upgrade, then dist-upgrade today | 16:20 |
| awell | How do I add services or modules to ebox? | 16:20 |
| ikonia | PrimoTurbo: nothing to do with this channel, and if you know what you'll doing you know how to use the "info" or "help" option for each option | 16:20 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, did you switch to the correct eol archive for feisty upgrade? | 16:20 |
| PrimoTurbo | sigh... | 16:21 |
| perlmonkey | bazhang: not sure what that means, if you mean did I edit sources.list no | 16:21 |

| shadeslayer | hi i want in stall various boot splash images | 16:21 |
| shadeslayer | how do i do that?? | 16:22 |

| shadeslayer | i have splashy | 16:22 |
| zilleplus | ikonia yes to host a site ig ot server up and running and apache to running | 16:22 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, how long ago was the feisty to gutsy to hardy upgrade | 16:22 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: just put the data in /var/www/htm l | 16:22 |
| zilleplus | how do i get a site on it | 16:22 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: or check the docs on https://help.ubuntu.com | 16:22 |
| perlmonkey | bazhang: phew I can't remember exactly, quite a while ago a year maybe | 16:23 |
| ruhaan_ | is there a multi threaded ftp downloader for ubuntu? | 16:23 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, you didnt go direct from feisty to hardy by switching sources.list by chance? | 16:23 |
| ruhaan_ | i need somethin that will create the directories lcoally to | 16:23 |
| ruhaan_ | *locally | 16:24 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, I think the feisty incomplete update has likely left things in this state | 16:24 |
| jtaby | hey, how can I see if smtp is running and the config I need to use it? | 16:25 |
| ruhaan_ | is there a multi threaded ftp downloader for ubuntu? | 16:25 |

| gerber | how can i lock one web site on the internet no block it lock it ? | 16:26 |
| scunizi | ruhaan_: gFTP ? | 16:26 |
| perlmonkey | bazhang: am I going to have to reinstall and start from scratch? | 16:26 |
| scunizi | gerber: how do you mean? not block but lock? | 16:26 |
| ruhaan_ | scunizi: does gftp support multiple threads per download? | 16:26 |
| MeI1 | nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu.com/124317/ | 16:26 |
| MeI1 | i was disconnected :( | 16:26 |
| perlmonkey | because if I am this will be the time change dist I think because this keeps happening to me | 16:26 |
| perlmonkey | its too easy to break Ubuntu | 16:26 |
| eubey | my laptop (ubuntu 8.10) is taking a long time when booting at "Starting up..." (like 10 seconds or so) is there a known way to fix that? | 16:27 |
| scunizi | ruhaan_: not really sure.. it's a nice client if that doesn't work there's also filezilla .. | 16:27 |
| gerber | I just want to lock web site that i'm the only one to see it | 16:27 |
| ruhaan_ | i have checked filezilla it doesnt support multiple threads | 16:27 |
| ikonia | gerber: then you need to use a proxy service like squid | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | eubey: do a reboot then read dmesg | less | 16:27 |
| ikonia | gerber: or use iptables to set an allow rule so only your IP address is allowed to that site | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | eubey: you will see the bootup process | 16:27 |
| bazhang | perlmonkey, no idea, as that sources.list and what you are saying about the feisty upgrade seem incomplete | 16:28 |
| perlmonkey | bazhang: I appreciate your trying to help me anyway, I don't know what happened, but i guess now its time to change a new distro that's not so easy to break | 16:28 |
| nickrud | MeI, you have a lot of duplicates in there, along with proposed (eww, unless you're a debugger). You should straighten that out. Also -- | 16:28 |
| maDChoPR | what's the recommended vncviewer to install on ubuntu? | 16:29 |
| gerber | what is squid or iptables ? | 16:29 |
| maDChoPR | squid is a proxy ap, and iptables is firewall or ip routing | 16:29 |
| scunizi | maDChoPR: it's already installed.. look in Applications/Internet | 16:29 |
| maDChoPR | *app | 16:29 |
| Jeruvy | maDChoPR: vncviewer :) | 16:29 |
| ikonia | gerber: they are applications. one is a proxy, the other is a firewall/routing application | 16:29 |
| maDChoPR | ah thank you scunizi | 16:29 |
| nickrud | MeI, did a bit of digging, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/124895/comments/8 seems to lead to a solution. Exact package names may not be correct. | 16:29 |
| maDChoPR | Jeruvy: yea, i type 'vncviewer' and it says install these vnc apps with apt-get install.. etc. | 16:29 |
| gerber | where can i get it ? | 16:29 |
| ikonia | gerber: ubuntu software repos through the package manager | 16:30 |
| eubey | ActionParsnip1: so i reboot then in terminal once gnome is booted run dmesg | less? or do i need dmesg less running during the boot? | 16:30 |
| scunizi | maDChoPR: terminal server client and remote desktop viewer.. both in the location I mentioned before | 16:30 |
| Jeruvy | maDChoPR: ah, so you know already then excellent. | 16:30 |
| nickrud | MeI, a quick way to create a good default sources.list is to move the original out of the way, and then use system->admin->software sources to turn on the repos you want | 16:30 |
| gerber | so just type repos | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | eubey: one you get logged in, run: dmesg | less | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | eubey: and use cursors to read up and down the log | 16:31 |
| gerber | I,m sorry buy i,m new on ubuntu | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | eubey: its gonna be a lot but you can see yur pc being setup | 16:31 |

| sdf | hi, does linux need some special drivers to work with DVI? the screen is darker in TTY (in console) than using RGB connection | 16:32 |
| ikonia | sdf: no | 16:32 |
| scunizi | maDChoPR: the vnc viewer is called terminal server client | 16:32 |
| maDChoPR | aah interesting | 16:32 |
| maDChoPR | what is the difference bteween 'remote desktop viewer' and 'terminal server client' | 16:33 |
| sdf | ikonia, well.. and it fades a lot | 16:33 |
| sdf | ikonia, it fades then comes back to *normal* brightness | 16:33 |
| NFischer | maDChoPR, x vs w/o x | 16:34 |
| maDChoPR | NFischer: aah thank you | 16:34 |
| scunizi | maDChoPR: if you have an ubuntu machine setup to do remote login from System/Preferences/Remote Desktop it uses remote desktop viewer. RDP protocol.. if you're going to a machine using vnc then Terminal Server Client will use RDP or VNC protocol | 16:34 |
| awell | Help with ebox. How do I see the different services? | 16:35 |
| maDChoPR | scunizi: very nea, thank you; | 16:35 |

| ikonia | PAP-ION: ? | 16:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ikonia: some boot loaders cant boot certain things :) | 16:45 |

| ikonia | shadeslayer: you need to follow the guide I sent you | 16:46 |
| shadeslayer | i replaced it | 16:46 |
| ikonia | !grub > shadeslayer | 16:46 |
| shadeslayer | i have it | 16:46 |
| shadeslayer | but how do i rewrite grub 2 to grub 1 | 16:47 |
| shadeslayer | no instructions there | 16:47 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: follow the guide I sent you | 16:47 |
| ilowe | how can I prevent an entry from being added to my routing table when eth0 becomes available? It is supposed to be part of a bridge and the new entry in the routing table fscks everything up. | 16:47 |
| cdavis_ | what xinput command can I use to speed up my touchpad? | 16:47 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: yes there is | 16:47 |
| shadeslayer | oh ic | 16:47 |
| BiGG_D | So uhh... I was just wondering, whats the difference between running the alternate version install CD in text mode n' the server installer CD of ub 8.10 x64 ? | 16:47 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: it shows you how to re-apply grub to the boot sector | 16:47 |
| shadeslayer | at the bottom | 16:47 |
| jatt | how do I configure a fully-qualified and globally unique name. An application (leafnode) complains with: | 16:47 |
| jatt | Leafnode must have a fully-qualified and globally unique domain name, not just "dell-desktop.example.com". Edit your /etc/hosts file to add a unique, fully qualified domain name. | 16:47 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: helps if you actually read the text before saying it doesn't work | 16:48 |
| ColonelJ | hi again, when I go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers, nothing happens except a lack-of-progress bar comes up stuck at 0%. Any ideas what the problem is, or how can I get the info through terminal commands? | 16:48 |
| shadeslayer | :) | 16:48 |
| shadeslayer | sorry | 16:48 |
| BiGG_D | Anyone, Anyone ? | 16:48 |
| ikonia | BiGG_D: what good is saying "anyone" ? | 16:49 |
| NFischer | ikonia why would you kick PAP-ION? | 16:49 |
| zilleplus | does anny one know why this command is wrong sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/zaphu | 16:49 |
| ikonia | NFischer: bad language | 16:49 |
| BiGG_D | Uhh... to see if anyone has an answer to the question I poised ? | 16:49 |
| zilleplus | does anny one know why this command is wrong sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/zaphu | 16:49 |
| shadeslayer | ok done | 16:49 |
| NFischer | ikonia, but i dont see any Oo | 16:49 |
| ilowe | BiGG_D: very little when running them | 16:50 |
| shadeslayer | meet you on the other side of the rebooy | 16:50 |
| ikonia | BiGG_D: if they didn't answer they either a.) didn't see the question, b.) don't know the answer saying "anyone" won't fix either of those | 16:50 |
| shadeslayer | *t | 16:50 |
| ColonelJ | are you allowed to continually repost your question? | 16:50 |
| mindriot67 | enable: Quit Gossipy? | 16:50 |
| zilleplus | does anny one know why this command is wrong sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/zaphu | 16:50 |
| ikonia | ColonelJ: once every 10 minutes is a good split | 16:50 |
| ilowe | BiGG_D: The alternate install CD is for customization and OEM stuff in general. Your question was a bit vague. | 16:50 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: cp -R | 16:50 |
| ilowe | ColonelJ: yes: at 5 day intervals | 16:50 |
| BiGG_D | ilowe, would it make any difference running one vs. the other in XenServer ? I seem to be having some issues getting PV working... :/ | 16:51 |
| zilleplus | no iKonia does noet work either | 16:51 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: what is the error | 16:51 |
| ilowe | BiGG_D: shouldn't make any difference; can you run other ISO images? | 16:51 |
| mindriot67 | any bon bon bunns avail. | 16:51 |
| zilleplus | unable to resolve host zilleplus | 16:51 |
| ikonia | mindriot67: what ? | 16:51 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: what version of ubuntu are you using ? | 16:52 |
| zilleplus | 8.10 | 16:52 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: it measns sudo can't resolve it's hostname of it self | 16:52 |
| BiGG_D | ilowe: Yea, server build runs like a champ, but it seems as though cpu's are vpin'd and I'd like to run more than 2 virt instances on a dual core proc | 16:52 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: look in /etc/hosts for your host name | 16:52 |
| JosephLinkous | There's a program I want to install on Ubuntu Server 8.10 which is in a .tar.gz. First, how do I go about getting that file to my server? Since there's no GUI, I can't just open a browser and click a link | 16:52 |
| ilowe | BiGG_D: so what's the problem with the alt? | 16:52 |
| ikonia | JosephLinkous: what application do you want | 16:53 |
| BiGG_D | Havent really fiddled with it too much yet, but from what I did -it seemed as if it was exactly the same as server ? | 16:53 |
| zilleplus | Ikonia i see 2 names one with 127.0.0.1 and one with IP 127.0.1.1 | 16:53 |
| ilowe | JosephLinkous: try "wget <url>" on your server | 16:53 |
| NFischer | JosephLinkous, man tar | 16:53 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: can you pastebin your /etc/hosts file please | 16:53 |
| JosephLinkous | I'm using no-ip.com use a url to point to my home server. They have a program which automatically updates the IP address which that URL links to if your home IP changes | 16:53 |
| dead_agent | Hi Everyone | 16:54 |
| BiGG_D | Hey Dead | 16:54 |
| zilleplus | Ikonia shoudn't know how ! | 16:54 |
| ikonia | !pastebin > zilleplus | 16:54 |
| ubottu | zilleplus, please see my private message | 16:54 |
| ilowe | BiGG_D: The difference is mainly in the menuing system that's built into the CD image; the package structure of the base install is the same by default | 16:54 |
| JosephLinkous | That way, instead of needing to look up my IP from home every day before going to work, I could simply SSH using that URL | 16:54 |
| wizzer | whenever i update, it makes my sound drivers unable to work until a restart | 16:55 |
| ilowe | BiGG_D: The real difference is with the desktop edition (and the K/X Ubuntu stuff) | 16:55 |
| ilowe | BiGG_D: all your packages should be coming from the same place anyway aren't they? | 16:55 |
| ilowe | BiGG_D: I mean, are you using a local apt cache? | 16:55 |
| BiGG_D | So the kernel & everything else is the same between the 2 builds is just the front end of the installer ? | 16:55 |
| ilowe | BiGG_D: absolutely | 16:55 |
| dead_agent | <BiGG_D> : Heyaa... | 16:56 |
| ilowe | BiGG_D: remember that intrepid won't run properly as a dom0 without a manually built kernel | 16:56 |
| BiGG_D | k -So, I suppose my next question becomes I hear 8.10 server is virtualization optimized. is there anything special that needs to be done to get it to run as DomU ? | 16:56 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: i now have grub 1,but my kernel went from 2.6.27-11 to 2.6.27-9 | 16:56 |
| shadeslayer | :( | 16:56 |
| ikonia | BiGG_D: I'm not aware of that | 16:56 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: do a kernel update then through synaptic | 16:56 |
| BiGG_D | Right, Ive seen that there are issues with it running as Dom0 -Which Im not really too concerned with -Im more concerned about DomU | 16:57 |
| ColonelJ | ilowe: so I'm guessing you spend all your time on irc and read every single comment to be annoyed by something posted in less than 5 days | 16:57 |
| shadeslayer | can you gimme the command line?? | 16:57 |
| ilowe | BiGG_D: the kernel as of intrepid is supposed to contain the VT switches so it can run as domU | 16:57 |
| ilowe | ColonelJ: lol, of course not | 16:57 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: open the packge manager and make sure your kernel is up to date | 16:57 |
| JosephLinkous | Alright, next question. Is there anything I need to know about installing from source that is different than simply using apt, other than the obvious? For instance, will it be just as time consuming to uninstall it if I don't need it anymore? | 16:57 |
| shadeslayer | ? | 16:57 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: what part is not clear ? | 16:57 |
| BiGG_D | Ahhh, so nothing prebuilt then eh ? Do you know what I need to do (or can you point me in the right direction) for 8.10 server DomU optimization ? =) | 16:58 |
| shadeslayer | i open synaptic then?? | 16:58 |
| ikonia | BiGG_D: what sort of optimisation | 16:58 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: check your kernel is at the latest package | 16:58 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: if it is you need to update /boot/grub/menu.lst with the info for the new kernel | 16:58 |
| ColonelJ | this is surely a n00b question: how do I check which 3rd party drivers are installed and if they are enabled or not? | 16:58 |
| ilowe | BiGG_D: pre-built intrepid is "supposed" to run as domU out of the box | 16:58 |
| BiGG_D | ikona: getting it to run in XenServer PV'd | 16:58 |
| wolter | how do i get openoffice 3 in ubuntu? | 16:58 |
| ikonia | BiGG_D: it should run fine out of the box - as any install should | 16:58 |
| f0urtyfive | anyone have any info on this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/310298 ? | 16:58 |
| wolter | do i have to download jaunty? | 16:58 |
| BiGG_D | ilowe, Yea... thats what I always thought... | 16:59 |
| ikonia | wolter: if you want to use it yes | 16:59 |
| ilowe | either way the issue is not which install cd you pick | 16:59 |
| zilleplus | Ikonia http://paste.ubuntu.com/124329/ | 16:59 |
| MoLoot | f0urtyfive, synaptic package manager and search for open office | 16:59 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: your hostname is not in that file | 16:59 |
| Stringcheese | hi all | 16:59 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: you need to put your hostname in that file and map it to 127.0.1.1 | 16:59 |
| f0urtyfive | moloot: I think you were talking to wolter ;) | 16:59 |
| zilleplus | i know its in hostname | 16:59 |
| BiGG_D | ikona, yea... Like I say -out the box, it runs like a champ it just seems as though it vpin's the cpu's, so Im only running 2 DomU's on a 2 core proc... :/ | 17:00 |
| f0urtyfive | unless openoffice will fix my video card not outputting HDMI :D | 17:00 |
| jatt | hi, I got a dynamically assigned IP address from the wlan of my university. I also have a no-ip domain which maps a domain name to that IP address. How do I add this mapping to the /etc/hosts file automatically so I get a fully qualified domain nama? | 17:00 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: you need to put it in /etc/hosts | 17:00 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: im lost,please give me a command line | 17:00 |
| Stringcheese | can someone help me with a small problem ? | 17:00 |
| zilleplus | Ikonia put it next to 127.0.1.1 ??? | 17:00 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: yes | 17:00 |
| zilleplus | done | 17:01 |
| nicklas_ | yo | 17:01 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst to have the new kernel details in - use what's there already as a template | 17:01 |
| shadeslayer | well i lost my old menu.lst | 17:01 |
| shadeslayer | :( | 17:01 |
| n8tuserf | jatt -> perhaps am mis-reading you.. you want the ip address assigned to you to appear in your /etc/hosts ? | 17:01 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: it sounds like your machine is in a mess, I suggest you re-install it and take more care in future before doing things you don't understand | 17:02 |
| shadeslayer | :O | 17:02 |
| shadeslayer | noo | 17:02 |
| shadeslayer | i can boot everything fine | 17:02 |
| ColonelJ | how do you see which 3rd party drivers are enabled/installed? | 17:02 |
| shadeslayer | fourtunately | 17:02 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: so update your menu.lst | 17:02 |
| shadeslayer | how?? | 17:02 |
| BiGG_D | mistaking water for hydrogen sulfide? HTF does anyone mistake water for a fart ? | 17:02 |
| jatt | n8tuserf: well I think yes. leafnode is complaining that I need a fully qualified name | 17:02 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: use what is there as a template to add the new lines for your kernel | 17:02 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: with a text editor | 17:02 |
| shadeslayer | i dont remember the old settings | 17:02 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: you don't need to remember | 17:02 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: look at what's there - use it as a template | 17:02 |
| zilleplus | how do i make a new file with nano and not overwrite one??? | 17:02 |
| shadeslayer | oh ok | 17:03 |
| jatt | n8tuserf: I currently have dell-desktop.example.com and leafnode refuses to start with it | 17:03 |
| n8tuserf | jatt -> you can manually enter it, or write a script to read the address from ifconfig results and then append that to your /etc/hosts | 17:03 |
| ikonia | zilleplus: chose a unique name | 17:03 |
| nerve | how do i write multi line comments in perl | 17:03 |
| JanKunder | zilleplus, | 17:03 |
| BiGG_D | zile, name as you do with vi... sudo vi <new file name> | 17:03 |
| JanKunder | zilleplus, just write nano NewFileName | 17:03 |
| jatt | n8tuserf: I see, I will try to do it manually first to see if leafnode starts. Thanks! | 17:03 |
| nerve | how do i write multi line comments in perl | 17:03 |
| ikonia | nerve: join #perl for perl help | 17:04 |
| lubomir | does anyone know when the 29 final will be released | 17:04 |
| n8tuserf | jatt am not sure what leafnode is, but if you can not even resolve a internet ip address, then your /etc/resolv.conf is misconfigured | 17:04 |
| lubomir | i mean kernel 2.6.29 | 17:04 |
| ikonia | lubomir: nothing to do with ubuntu - pleae don't ask here | 17:04 |
| rdavila | Hi friends, one question please | 17:04 |

| zilleplus | i made a file in Nano and want to save it how do i do this without overwrithing | 17:04 |
| ColonelJ | maybe I should join #perl for ubuntu help... | 17:05 |
| ilowe | zilleplus: control-O | 17:05 |
| ikonia | ColonelJ: please don't be silly - people are helping you here | 17:05 |
| n8tuserf | rdavila -> dont know if your ~/.gconf are the configs you need save? | 17:05 |

| ColonelJ | n8tuserf: it was a joke... sorry | 17:06 |
| IdentifyTarget | hello. I have a few questions about using software RAID0 in ubuntu | 17:06 |
| ikonia | IdentifyTarget: remember to have a seperate boot partition | 17:06 |
| ikonia | IdentifyTarget: /boot can't be on raid0 | 17:06 |
| IdentifyTarget | 1) Is it easy? 2) If I reinstall ubuntu will I lose my RAID? | 17:06 |
| n8tuserf | ColonelJ -> whats the issue? clarify please and if anyone has a solution for you | 17:07 |
| IdentifyTarget | yes the raid will not be boot | 17:07 |
| tomanak | re | 17:07 |
| ikonia | IdentifyTarget: yes it's easy - but a very bad idea to use raid0 as a root file system | 17:07 |
| ikonia | IdentifyTarget: yes you will lose your raid if you re-install | 17:07 |
| IdentifyTarget | will not be root | 17:07 |
| ikonia | IdentifyTarget: then you will not lose your raid if you re-install | 17:07 |
| IdentifyTarget | hmmm...why? is there data stored on the OS particular to my RAID? | 17:07 |
| ColonelJ | the issue is the hardware drivers manager is failing, and I want to either find out why, or configure drivers another way | 17:07 |
| IdentifyTarget | ah ok | 17:07 |
| ikonia | IdentifyTarget: disk headers | 17:07 |
| rdavila | n8tuserf: do you know if I can write the config of gnome-display-properties to xorg.conf ? | 17:08 |

| n8tuserf | gerber -> have you done any tutorials like apache? perhaps thats in order so you can learn these techniques? | 17:09 |
| IdentifyTarget | ikonia: will the RAID be recognized by any linux kernel if I reinstall? | 17:09 |
| ilowe | ColonelJ: what's the problem with the graphics driver? | 17:09 |
| sdf2 | i'm trying to use the usb soundcard, but in teamspeak, i hear my friends from the notebook, and not from the usb soundcard | 17:10 |
| DottAgasa | hello | 17:10 |

| DottAgasa | i'm a newbie, i must say. | 17:10 |
| n8tuserf | gerber -> have you done any tutorials like apache? perhaps thats in order so you can learn these techniques? https and such.. | 17:10 |
| ilowe | ColonelJ: try "dpkg --list" and look at all the packages | 17:10 |
| ikonia | IdentifyTarget: yes | 17:11 |
| ColonelJ | well actually there was a problem because I can't enable the visual effects | 17:11 |

| sdf2 | hi | 17:14 |
| green0 | when i install a minimalist ubuntu system, is there no service running like it would be in debian ? | 17:14 |
| rayne_ | ColonelJ, Is the the desktop effects that you are trying to enable and it isn't letting you? | 17:14 |
| ColonelJ | Yes | 17:14 |
| ikonia | green0: it's minimal - only running what you installed | 17:15 |
| ColonelJ | the 3d screensavers work albeit slowly | 17:15 |
| green0 | can i ihave gnome without installing ubuntu-desktop? | 17:15 |
| ColonelJ | slower than it should be I reckon | 17:15 |
| rayne_ | ColonelJ, Okay, some drivers cannot be installed by default by Ubuntu, and are installed using the Restricted Drivers Manager | 17:15 |
| ikonia | green0: sure | 17:15 |
| green0 | ikonia, sounds good :) | 17:15 |
| gribouille | I'm trying to install the NVIDIA drivers, but the installer complains because it can't find the kernel source tree. how can I install it ? | 17:15 |
| ColonelJ | If Restricted Drivers Manager = Hardware Drivers, that's my problem | 17:15 |
| ColonelJ | (I'm in Ubuntu 8.10) | 17:16 |
| green0 | is it possible to install this minimalist system from the ubuntu livecd? | 17:16 |

| ikonia | gribouille: no | 17:16 |
| rayne_ | ColonelJ, Goto 'System' --> ' Admin' --- > "hardware Drivers' | 17:16 |

| Flannel | green0: well, alternate/server/minimal (all the non-desktop CDs | 17:16 |
| ColonelJ | rayne_ when I do that I get a progress bar stuck on 0%, that was my first question | 17:16 |
| green0 | ok thanks | 17:16 |
| green0 | is there a way to boot from this alternate ISO without buring a new cd? | 17:17 |

| ilowe | ColonelJ: your problem (if there is one) is somewhere else | 17:26 |
| ColonelJ | ilowe: and the visual effects thing tries to fire up the drivers manager | 17:26 |

| ilowe | ColonelJ: because you said your card was ancient | 17:28 |
| ilowe | ColonelJ: so it may not support the effects (stab in the dark here) | 17:28 |

| LiraNuna | how can I cross compile 32bit applications (for now trying a single .cpp file)? | 18:05 |
| ColonelJ | however, that doesn't really prove anything | 18:05 |
| LiraNuna | I've tried g++ -m32 but I get "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++" as error | 18:05 |
| storbeck | ColonelJ: If you let it run long enough, it will print it out | 18:05 |
| ColonelJ | that's just a simple 3d object | 18:05 |
| anatashinu | hello? | 18:05 |

| pagoda | i have a laptop running ubuntu with a monitor plugged in. the monitor is duplicating what's on the laptop screen, and it's distorted because the resolutions are the same but the aspect ratios are different. how can i mess with these settings? i don't think it's detecting the second monitor in the screen resolution dialog. | 18:05 |

| Nith | pagoda: are you runnint intrepid and did you start the machine up with the monitor attached? | 18:06 |
| anatashinu | can anybody hear me? | 18:06 |
| ColonelJ | storbeck: it still hasn't told me FPS | 18:06 |
| LiraNuna | erUSUL, I got no clue if there's an ia32-dev package or anything | 18:06 |

| anatashinu | then can somebody please help me with wifi? | 18:07 |
| pagoda | LiraNuna, ati radeon mobility x1400 or somesuch | 18:07 |
| LiraNuna | erUSUL, -march is for optimization, not cross compiling | 18:08 |
| ColonelJ | storbeck: oops | 18:08 |

| storbeck | !wifi | anatashinu | 18:08 |

| LiraNuna | pagoda, try System -> Perfs -> Screen resolution | 18:08 |

| anatashinu | with a real person? | 18:08 |

| chaitan3 | LiraNuna, try this link http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-9957.html | 18:09 |

| giovani | anatashinu: your question is too generic -- a lot of people need help -- try using the documentation first | 18:09 |
| storbeck | grymme: Are you sure your interface is eth0? | 18:09 |
| pagoda | LiraNuna, it only shows one screen ("unknown") and it doesn't detect the external monitor | 18:09 |
| LiraNuna | pagoda, I'm sorry, I don't have experience with ATI and dual head | 18:10 |
| andreic | JosephLinkous yes you can delete it | 18:10 |

| LiraNuna | chaitan3, trying to install g++-multilib package | 18:11 |
| Nith | pagoda: ATI is bad news with multi-monitor. Make sure you've backed up your xorg.conf | 18:11 |
| giovani | anatashinu: there could be a dozen things wrong there -- there are many online resources for troubleshooting this -- what type of encryption does the network use? | 18:11 |
| Nith | pagoda: Thats about the best advice I can give | 18:11 |
| anatashinu | I'm not sure. It's a belkin54g | 18:11 |
| anatashinu | router | 18:11 |
| pagoda | Nith, ok thanks man. | 18:11 |
| LiraNuna | chaitan3, thank you very much! that solves it | 18:11 |
| storbeck | That doesn't tell us anything, anatashinu | 18:11 |
| ColonelJ | storbeck: urban terror doesn't appear to be in the package manager | 18:11 |
| anatashinu | I have a lenovo 3000 n500 laptop | 18:11 |
| giovani | anatashinu: well, if you don't know -- there's very little anyone can do to help troubleshoot it | 18:11 |
| storbeck | ColonelJ: So? | 18:11 |
| anatashinu | how do I find out? | 18:11 |
| grymme | storbeck: its pretty much what he writes here: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/76096-dhcpdiscover-error-when-configuring-eth0.html | 18:11 |
| Nith | pagoda: and a fair warning, I have lost days to that when I first started, so it depends on how much you want it as well | 18:11 |
| giovani | anatashinu: you'd go into your router's configuration, where you entered the password, and look | 18:12 |

| Guest88690 | I am using the terminal | 18:12 |
| LiraNuna | erUSUL, the problem is GCC was compiled without multilib | 18:12 |
| giovani | Guest24182: you can find out how much is used now -- but not in the past | 18:12 |

| wal3 | storbeck: it works on other machince tho | 18:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | SB6789: Some applications can't handle some cameras because they don't know how to decode the 'signal' | 18:21 |
| storbeck | wal3: Well, it shouldn't. You need more than an authorized_keys file | 18:21 |
| RainCT | storbeck: for video? | 18:21 |
| storbeck | RainCT: I think so | 18:22 |

| Ubuntuuu2 | how? | 18:24 |
| storbeck | man mount and man chroot | 18:24 |
| Ubuntuuu2 | Because all i need to do is edit a file | 18:24 |
| storbeck | basically, mkdir /mnt/sda, mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda, chroot /mnt/sda bash | 18:25 |
| green0 | one last question :) | 18:25 |
| storbeck | You should really read the man pages though | 18:25 |

| Ubuntuuu2 | because I think thats whats making it so I cant boot | 18:27 |
| storbeck | Ubuntuuu2: I already told you how to fix it. | 18:27 |
| storbeck | Now do it | 18:27 |
| Ubuntuuu2 | how? | 18:27 |

| bazhang | Heme^, check the md5 of the iso first | 18:36 |

| epitop | storbeck: errors at what point? | 18:39 |
| green0 | _VIM_, i install a minmalist system + X just to NOT have a bloated ubuntu :) (ubuntu-desktop will instal a lot....) | 18:39 |
| storbeck | When you did an update | 18:39 |
| andreic | it stucks in loading, please wait.. | 18:39 |
| theCarpenter | i wanted to fool around with packet sniffing so i got an external USB wifi dongle. its detected as usb device, but now i want to set it to eth0 (is that possible?) eth1 is configured out-of-the-box as the builtin wifi device on my laptop | 18:39 |
| epitop | just gpg key errors i believe | 18:39 |
| storbeck | Hm | 18:39 |
| mobodo | if I want to use the packages from a different ubuntu release, all I need to do is change the paths in /etc/apt/sources.list, right? | 18:39 |
| _VIM_ | green0: fine, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop :P | 18:39 |
| epitop | Yeah, just gpg key errors | 18:40 |
| storbeck | send me the repo and package name, I'll try | 18:40 |
| epitop | It'll work I bet.. works fine on my other computer | 18:40 |
| bazhang | mobodo, bad idea to mix repos it is not supported and will break things | 18:40 |
| storbeck | There's only 1 way to find out | 18:40 |
| erUSUL | theCarpenter: if it is recogniced it will get a iface name automatically such as wlan0 or something like that | 18:40 |
| epitop | storbeck: http://www.scilab.org/team/sylvestre.ledru/ using that... the packages all work fine but the scilab-bindoes not on this computer | 18:40 |
| mobodo | bazhang: I know, but I've been trying to install something for three days now and it doesn't work. and I had it working on gutsy | 18:40 |
| kriscolt | i just grabbed synergy from apt... but not sure where it went... | 18:40 |
| kriscolt | any ideas??? | 18:40 |
| epitop | err storbeck are you 32 or 64 bit? | 18:41 |
| mobodo | bazhang: it's pretty much my last option | 18:41 |
| _VIM_ | green0: other than that, im out of solutions,,,unless I cheat and start using google for all your answers, which we'd be here all day in that case ;) | 18:41 |
| epitop | I just realized that this laptop is 64 and the desktop was 32 | 18:41 |
| epitop | perhaps he errored and for some reason the package for 64 for scilab-bin is absent | 18:41 |

| oliver3 | Okay people, I just finished building my new PC, and I'm trying to decide whether to use the 64bit version of 8.10 or 32bit. I'm installing a total of 4gigs RAM, so will need 64bit for that, but can I still run 32bit software in the 64bit version, especially Windows software via wine? | 18:44 |
| racecar56 | ive used lxde before (i found out about it when i got a knoppix 6.0.1 live cd) | 18:44 |
| racecar56 | yeah it is cool | 18:44 |

| oliver3 | meho_r, if I'm honest, I wanted to install Windows for games. But when I tried there was either something up with the discs, or something up with my optical drive, and it kept erroring out at the "copying files", stage. :'( | 18:46 |
| storbeck | anatashinu: after Desktop, put a space, then where you want the file to go on your local computer | 18:47 |
| epitop | storbeck: that's the one available in multiverse, not from the repos that sylvestre is supporting | 18:47 |

| storbeck | scp anatashinu@192.168.2.3:/home/anatashinu/Desktop /home/myotheruser/Desktop | 18:47 |
| anatashinu | that would transfer my desktop to other computer? | 18:47 |
| meho_r | oliver3: I have Win for games too. Check your CD disk for scratches | 18:47 |
| storbeck | epitop: Then it looks like it's a repo problem :) | 18:47 |
| oliver3 | meho_r, eventually settled to install Ubuntu from an old 6.04 disc, now I'm downloading 8.10 for a fresh install of that. | 18:48 |
| oliver3 | meho_r, used 3 different discs for XP, one for Vista, all failed. | 18:48 |

| anatashinu | oops | 18:50 |
| storbeck | anatashinu: no | 18:50 |
| oliver3 | meho_r, yeah I thought that. I installed an old PATA drive to test, but that one just went so slow I gave up. It performed slower than in the old box! Oddness. | 18:50 |

| JanKunder | Hi. Is in 8.10 something like inittab in Lenny? Is possible to boot in CLI in 8.10? How? | 19:07 |
| storbeck | JanKunder: Yes @ your second question | 19:08 |
| wizz3 | hi, does anyone know how i change the permissions for my external hdd so it works with users and not just with root (im using ubuntu 8.10)? | 19:08 |

| storbeck | f0urtyfive: type in a terminal: metacity --replace | 19:09 |
| user___ | wizz3: for a permanent solution: man fstab | 19:09 |
| oCean_ | wizz3: if external hdd is ntfs, use umask option in fstab | 19:10 |
| mykz | yay i have a reply on the forums :) | 19:10 |

| JanKunder | storbeck, but how can I boot into CLI if I have Ubuntu with Gnome, not server version? There is no inittab .. | 19:11 |
| JanKunder | storbeck, anyway, ty for giving me hope :) | 19:12 |

| magcius | Dammit... who gave me that MIDI page? | 19:12 |
| storbeck | I did | 19:12 |
| JanKunder | storbeck, many thanks | 19:12 |
| storbeck | np JanKunder | 19:12 |
| MindVirus | When will Python 2.6 exist in the repositories? | 19:12 |
| giovani | JanKunder: inittab was replaced by upstart -- go into /etc/event.d/ | 19:12 |
| magcius | storbeck: I ran qsynth, and it froze my computer. | 19:12 |
| wizz3 | storbeck: hmmm... no such file or directory | 19:12 |
| magcius | storbeck: supposedly it was looking for ALSA. I'm running OSS4. | 19:12 |
| JanKunder | giovani, I'll try, ty | 19:13 |
| shminux | how do I apt-get from a specific location? | 19:13 |
| f0urtyfive | storbeck: Thnx, metacity was missing, apt-get install and the --repace fixed it. | 19:13 |
| giovani | shminux: you change your apt sources? | 19:13 |
| panesar_sandeep_ | mykz, hw much is your ram | 19:13 |
| storbeck | np f0urtyfive | 19:13 |
| magcius | storbeck: I had to restart right now. | 19:13 |
| storbeck | wizz3: maybe check /media | 19:13 |
| shminux | no way to give the path on command line? | 19:13 |
| homeskill | IntuitiveNipple do i have to plug the second monitor in first, or after i install the drivers? | 19:13 |
| storbeck | glad it's fixed, magcius | 19:13 |
| magcius | storbeck: it's not fixed. I still can't listen to MIDI. | 19:13 |
| storbeck | oh | 19:14 |
| invisibleninja | When I click on Windows Network, I am getting "failed to retrieve list from server". What could be the cause? Using Intrepid Ibex. | 19:14 |
| mobodo | changing my sources.list back to hardy/gutsy didn't make it :-/ I guess I'm not supposed to use older packages with a newer ubuntu | 19:14 |
| mykz | panesar_sandeep_ my ram is 1 Gig | 19:14 |
| magcius | storbeck: the program made the OS unresponsive. Neither Ctrl+Alt+Backspace nor Ctrl+Alt+1 worked. | 19:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | homeskill: Assuming you're already using the Nvidia proprietary driver, as long as the monitor is connected before you try to log-in (when GDM/KDM starts) the monitor will be detected and you can configure it once logged in | 19:14 |
| magcius | err... s/1/F1 | 19:14 |
| giovani | shminux: nope, that's not how apt works -- you're not downloading a single file, you'll downloading lots of metadata from the repository ahead of time | 19:14 |
| storbeck | Weird, sorry magcius | 19:14 |
| homeskill | IntuitiveNipple thanks | 19:15 |
| mykz | i'm just doing a md5 thing now :) | 19:15 |
| storbeck | I've never had any issues with midi, so I can't help. I only know that there is a !midi command for ubottu :) | 19:15 |
| shminux | now I miss windows... just d/l and double-click | 19:15 |
| invisibleninja | hello anyone? | 19:15 |
| wizz3 | storbeck: ok, tried it , now it says "Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure with the | 19:15 |
| wizz3 | external FUSE library" | 19:15 |
| shminux | oh well | 19:15 |
| Ubuntuuu2 | invisibleninja: Hi someone | 19:15 |
| storbeck | Nice | 19:15 |
| storbeck | wizz3: refer to the fstab suggestions earlier | 19:16 |
| invisibleninja | any explanation for "failed to retrieve list from server" on clicking Windows Network? | 19:16 |
| wizz3 | !fstab | 19:16 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 19:16 |

| hunt577 | I am a newbie to Ubuntu, have always had Windows. I just got an Acer Aspire 6930 laptop, first time on Vista and its just too clunky and it bogs down this nice lap top so I want to try Ubuntu, but I want to try it without erasing Vista incase I need to get it back | 19:23 |
| LjL | simion314: nfs is an option | 19:23 |
| mykz | panesar_sandeep_ i've at this all day sat in the efnet channel | 19:23 |
| LjL | !nfs > simion314 (simion314, see the private message from ubottu) | 19:23 |
| mykz | until i tried here | 19:23 |
| LjL | simion314: samba is another option although it's mostly made to talk to windows computers (/msg ubottu samba) | 19:23 |
| eseven73 | !wubi | hunt577 | 19:23 |
| ubottu | hunt577: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 19:23 |
| panesar_sandeep_ | !efnet | 19:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about efnet | 19:23 |
| homeskill | IntuitiveNipple i apt-get installed nvidia-settings but it's still not showing in applicaitons->system tools | 19:23 |
| hunt577 | thank you ubottu | 19:24 |
| LjL | simion314: but anyway i do believe - although i don't use GNOME so i don't really know - that there's something about it either in the preferences, or when you right click and hit Proprieties on a directory | 19:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | homeskill: run it with: gksudo nvidia-settings | 19:24 |
| mykz | panesar_sandeep efnet is like freenode :P | 19:24 |
| mykz | just an irc network | 19:24 |
| chazco | Hi... is there a remote desktop style system for Ubuntu? ie, allows full screen resolution of the desktop. Tried VNC (no fullscreen) and SSH with X tunneling (only one application at a time). Any suggestions? | 19:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | homeskill: Hmmm... try launching it via Alt+F2 and then "gksudo nvidia-settings" | 19:24 |
| sdf2 | actually i did dmesg in terminal | 19:24 |
| sdf2 | anc can't see more | 19:24 |
| hunt577 | ubottu I already burned the ubuntu image onto a CD-R but not sure how to get in BIOS to install it | 19:24 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:24 |
| hunt577 | I hit F1 when my computer it takes me to a screen but says nothing about ubuntu | 19:25 |
| hunt577 | starts* | 19:25 |
| simion314 | LjL, if i go to network i see only windows network, do i need to start samba manualy in the other computer? i can acces windows but not ubuntu | 19:25 |
| eseven73 | chazco: tightvncviewer should have full screen | 19:25 |
| chazco | homeskill - nvidia-xsettings should be under System->Administration i think (not apps->system tools) | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hunt577: read the screen after reboot, you need to enter setup, try del, f10 anf f1 | 19:25 |
| oCean_ | !xdmcp | chazco | 19:25 |
| homeskill | IntuitiveNipple ok i ran it and it says 'you dont appear to be using the nvidia x driver. please edit yoru x config file and restart the x server' | 19:25 |
| ubottu | chazco: xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it | 19:25 |
| sdf2 | actually my actual problem is that i can't make teamspeak(oss) play sound with alsa-oss wrapper | 19:25 |
| guntbert | eseven73: why do you recommend wubi instead of a live CD? | 19:26 |
| oCean_ | chazco: and also: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty/RemoteAccess#Remote_Login_via_XDMCP | 19:26 |
| panesar_sandeep_ | mykz, the live cd installer can complete the process in less than fifteen minutes. It does this by copying the installed system from the cd to the target partition on the disk.That’s an order of magnitude faster than the alternate installer.The alternate installer installs each package individually and usually takes about forty or fifty minutes longer than the live cd installer. Sure the... | 19:26 |
| panesar_sandeep_ | ...live cd take a minute or two longer to boot, but it still comes out to being way faster using the live cd. | 19:26 |
| chazco | oCean & eseven73 - Thanks, will look into them :) | 19:26 |
| satch5150 | hi all - I can't seem to update my fiesty server (no X11 on it btw) - keep getting 404 not found errors no matter what mirrors i use | 19:26 |
| eseven73 | thats a very good question guntbert, i just woke up , good catch :) | 19:26 |
| eseven73 | you're welcome chazco | 19:27 |
| user___ | sdf2: hmm, l210, but no clue if its relevant or how it could be fixed | 19:27 |
| LjL | simion314: yeah, you have to do stuff on the serving computer... let me try to look it up | 19:27 |
| sdf2 | :( | 19:27 |
| satch5150 | anyone have any suggestions ? | 19:27 |
| homeskill | chazco you're right, it's under system->administration->NVIDIA X Server Settings | 19:27 |
| MightyTweek | hunt577: If you're using Wubi you don't need to boot from the CD, just insert it while Windows is running and it should let you run the installer | 19:27 |
| guntbert | eseven73: ;-) | 19:27 |
| oCean_ | satch5150: are you using the old-releases repos? | 19:27 |
| eseven73 | no dont use wubi, guntbert is correct get a live cd | 19:27 |
| IntuitiveNipple | homeskill: Ahhh, you haven't installed the Nvidia proprietary driver. You need to install it from the Restricted Drivers manager | 19:27 |
| sdf2 | and i installed like 80+ packages for nothing | 19:28 |
| mykz | panesar_sandeep_ i have tried the live cd same problem | 19:28 |
| sdf2 | makes me sick | 19:28 |
| satch5150 | I guess I was, but I tried the mirrors from internode i believe it was | 19:28 |
| satch5150 | same thing | 19:28 |
| panesar_sandeep_ | satch5150, try pinging to the server, 404 is usually a host not found error | 19:28 |

| satch5150 | that one is, yea | 19:30 |
| Tetracomm | Hello. | 19:30 |
| storbeck | eseven73: It's not hard to write a script to do that | 19:30 |
| LjL | simion314: ok, it should be like this: install the "samba" package first (sudo apt-get install samba), then right click on a folder that you want to share, and select "Sharing options". it should be straightforward from then on | 19:30 |
| eseven73 | storbeck: im not a scripter | 19:30 |
| storbeck | eseven73: Give me a few minutes and I'll write one for you | 19:30 |

| satch5150 | ok, so, where can I get a list of mirrors, or a complete sources.list file, known to work ? | 19:31 |
| oCean_ | satch5150: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | eseven73: all youd do is run the backup app to create the file, then the next line would be to burn the cd | 19:31 |
| mykz | right time for some beers | 19:31 |
| user___ | Tetracomm: also try #debian and #linux (dont mention ubuntu at first hand ..) | 19:31 |
| mykz | thanks for all the help guys | 19:31 |
| Tetracomm | Ok. | 19:31 |
| oCean_ | satch5150: there's the working sources.list | 19:31 |

| satch5150 | oCean_: Gutsy though ? | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | eseven73: can you use terminal? | 19:31 |
| mykz | <panesar_sandeep nope | 19:32 |
| satch5150 | not that I wouldn't love to upgrade, I would | 19:32 |
| mykz | i'm close to giving up | 19:32 |
| eseven73 | I would hope so ActionParsnip1 ;) | 19:32 |
| storbeck | ok eseven73, give me a few minutes | 19:32 |
| oCean_ | satch5150: you have to go through gutsy | 19:32 |
| satch5150 | to intrepid in fave | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | eseven73: then you can script | 19:32 |
| satch5150 | fact | 19:32 |

| mykz | panesar_sandeep just post to my thread if you work anything out | 19:32 |

| panesar_sandeep | mykz, okay | 19:33 |
| satch5150 | ok, so upgrading is just a matter of getting the sources.list from whatever distro I want to upgrade to ? | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | eseven73: thats literally all thereis to it | 19:33 |

In googlizer, i can just mark any text and click on it, and it'll conduct automatic search that's so unbelievably time saving, i'd say the best tool ever. I need dictionary-one, where i could just mark the text and click on it, and it will show definition right away. | 19:41 |

| shagohod | what package has xfburn | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !ifo xfburn | 20:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ifo xfburn | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !find xfburn | 20:19 |
| ubottu | Found: xfburn | 20:19 |
| shagohod | nvm found it | 20:19 |
| redvamp128 | amaurea: if that does not work then try sudo apt-get install --fix-missing | 20:20 |
| amaurea | erUSUL: thank you, running it now. I'll see what happens | 20:20 |
| zertyuio | hi | 20:20 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, that page seems really out of date, is there no way to get bluetooth audio with editing config files? | 20:20 |
| green91 | !ifo pico | 20:20 |
| brandon_ | how do i run a ./config | 20:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ifo pico | 20:20 |
| hunt577 | Anyone have any advice regarding ubuntu installation? Have burnt the image onto a CD-R but when I go into Windows Boot System after pressing Delete on startup the only option I have is Windows Vista and Ubuntu is not listed | 20:20 |
| erUSUL | amaurea: no problem | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !info xfburn | 20:20 |
| ubottu | xfburn (source: xfburn): CD-burner application for Xfce Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.2-1 (intrepid), package size 247 kB, installed size 1284 kB | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shagohod: ^ | 20:20 |
| erUSUL | hunt577: you should configure the bios to boot from cdrom first | 20:20 |
| tmg1|riemann | hunt577: you'll need to tell your bios to boot your cdr | 20:20 |
| dustin | i am using the default wireless connection that comes with a fresh ubuntu 8.10 and my signal strength is very very weak.. i am downloading at 10-25kb/s when i should be at about 900k/1.2mb average - is there something wrong with this default driver? | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: if theres a guide to walk you through the config files, i'd use it | 20:20 |
| hunt577 | how do I do that? | 20:20 |
| redvamp128 | brandon_: do you have build essentials installed? sounds like you are trying to compile | 20:20 |
| tmg1|riemann | hunt577: depends on your computer somewhat, but usually there's a 'press f1 to enter system' when you're booting | 20:21 |
| tmg1|riemann | right when it's doing the memory checking most likely | 20:21 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, thats the closest found, however it seems absurd you can't use bluetooth audio in intrepid with gui | 20:21 |
| hunt577 | oh ok and make the cd drive option 1 under boot menu? | 20:21 |
| brandon_ | um hold on i will brb im using windows right now | 20:21 |
| zertyuio | i cant able to boot to my ubuntu | 20:21 |
| erUSUL | hunt577: enter your bios setup and change boot order... or enter into the boot menu (it may be one in you bios) and boot from the cdrom | 20:21 |
| tmg1|riemann | either that or your cdr is defectively burned | 20:21 |
| erUSUL | hunt577: yes | 20:21 |
| Henri | Hey does anyone know a good way to boot of an external CD drive? | 20:21 |
| brandon_ | and idk if i have it installed | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: some things are easier setting up without a gui app | 20:21 |
| hunt577 | oh ok got it | 20:21 |
| hunt577 | thanks guys your a lot of help! | 20:21 |
| tmg1|riemann | Henri: bios either supports it, needs firmware, or doesn't | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: if yu are so averse to conf file editting then keep it as a backup | 20:22 |
| tmg1|riemann | imho | 20:22 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, not for alot of people | 20:22 |
| amaurea | erUSUL: hm, that produces some messages about unknown media types. they don't seem to be fatal though. is it normal? | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: if it works then run with it | 20:22 |
| Guest88690 | so if your restricted video drivers from nvidia dont work and you get a black screen is there anyway to recover without reinstall of whole box? | 20:22 |
| Henri | How do I find out if my BIOS supports it? | 20:22 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, there is no guide for using gui found so far | 20:22 |
| zertyuio | hi there | 20:22 |
| zertyuio | i can't log in to my ubuntu | 20:22 |
| tmg1|riemann | is there a key to go into/out of sleep mode in gnome/xorg? Because after about 5 minutes of being logged in i'm being kicked into some kind of sleep mode... | 20:22 |
| Henri | Or, if there is any firmware to download. | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: samba is a great example where conf file editting is easier than gui, specially people who use ssh | 20:22 |
| tmg1|riemann | zertyuio: when did this start? | 20:22 |
| erUSUL | amaurea: can not tell without seeing the actual mesgs but if the configure run until completion it may be harmless | 20:22 |
| dustin | anyone know much about ubuntu wireless? D: | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: then i guess its your only choice | 20:23 |
| zertyuio | when i turn on my ubuntu | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dustin: is it internal or usb? | 20:23 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, its not though, the nautilus file sharing is much easier to config samba | 20:23 |
| wait | .org | 20:23 |
| zertyuio | i got a black screen where is display : | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: not if you want decent secure settings | 20:23 |
| user___ | tmg1|riemann: preferences -> screensaver could help | 20:23 |
| erUSUL | dustin: maybe forcing a connection rate helps... « sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M » | 20:23 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, actually i dont mind editing files, it will be too difficult for other users though | 20:23 |
| zertyuio | fatal server error : could not create lock file in /tmp/.txo-lock | 20:23 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, which depends on your usage, so in some cases cli is better, other times gui is fine | 20:24 |
| zertyuio | xinit : connection reffused | 20:24 |

| tmg1|riemann | zertyuio: try booting into single user mode | 20:24 |
| zertyuio | errno 111 : | 20:24 |
| scman | irc.netuno.com.br | 20:24 |
| zertyuio | how to do ? | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: if they can type, they can edit files. If a gui app exists then great but if all that can be found is a conf file edit and its done, i'd run with it | 20:24 |
| zertyuio | plz | 20:24 |
| tmg1|riemann | you can get there through grub | 20:24 |
| scman | join #irc.netuno.com.br | 20:24 |
| tmg1|riemann | when the system is booting, it usually asks you to 'enter grub in 3 2 1 ' press escape then | 20:24 |
| erUSUL | !details | zertyuio all in *one* line | 20:24 |
| ubottu | zertyuio all in *one* line: 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 ..." | 20:24 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, its just too much hassle for an every day kind of task, there should be gui option | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: and the time taken trying to find a different guide you could have editted the file and be done rather than wasting time trying to find a gui way | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: or make your own gui for the file | 20:25 |
| Myrtti | scman: /connect irc.netuno.com.br | 20:25 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, thanks it not a waste, because ill have to do it on several computers | 20:25 |
| user___ | +1 | 20:25 |
| dustin | erUSUL: ty much man... 90%-100% signal again and me speeds are increasing =D | 20:25 |
| dustin | it was running at 1mb previously, haha :D | 20:26 |
| erUSUL | dustin: you will have to do it by hand everytime i'm afraid :| | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: if you have to do it on many computers you could create a script to populate the file appropriately, including the bluetooth scan | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: so editting the file is even better suited here | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: you can run the script on the systems remotely | 20:26 |
| dustin | im kinda linux newb still, is there a boot config or something i can add that to? startup line of some sort? | 20:26 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, yeah but half the point is to find an easy method so new ubuntu users can follow | 20:26 |
| erUSUL | dustin: you can add it to /etc/rc.local | 20:27 |
| zertyuio | do i choose recovery mode ? | 20:27 |
| zertyuio | is it ? | 20:27 |
| tmg1|riemann | yes | 20:27 |
| zertyuio | tmg1|riemann: | 20:27 |
| zertyuio | ok | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: sometimes a gui doesnt exist for some purposes | 20:27 |
| dustin | erUSUL: and thats a startup line to prevent entering that everytime? | 20:27 |
| === TMN is now known as xtmnx | ||
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: i hope you find one as a gui would be nice for new users as you say but i think in this case hands are going to have to be dirtied | 20:28 |
| erUSUL | dustin: put « iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M » before the exit 0 | 20:28 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, yeah im just surprised, since its a very common task, makes me think there is an easier way im not aware of | 20:28 |

| ^paradox^ | quick question | 20:29 |

| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: what you are saying is a bug | 20:30 |
| tmg1|riemann | zertyuio: is it asking for you to login at all? | 20:30 |
| zertyuio | yes | 20:30 |
| cconstantine_ | there are two package sets (nvidia and alsa) in feisty I want to install from intrepid, how possible is thits? | 20:30 |
| tmg1|riemann | zertyuio: what happens when you try | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: so right now there is no gui | 20:30 |
| zertyuio | root@mydesktop:# | 20:31 |
| tmg1|riemann | so that means you logged in successfully | 20:31 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, ah yes, basically it should just work out of the box, also im having trouble following that guide | 20:31 |
| tmg1|riemann | try 'cd /tmp | 20:31 |

| ActionParsnip1 | mchelen1: ive not paired bluetooth as i find bluetooth too slow so dont use it | 20:31 |

| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, it is for an audio headset | 20:32 |
| brandon_ | user___: its a IRCd ./config file | 20:32 |
| dustin | when these updates finish i'll reboot and see if it works :D | 20:32 |
| zertyuio | now i got a black screen where it written root@mydesktop:# | 20:32 |

| zertyuio | tmg1|riemann: | 20:33 |

| homeskill | do i need to use 'envy-ng' to enable dual monitor support for my laptop running ubuntu? | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | homeskill: no dont use envy | 20:35 |
| mchelen1 | ActionParsnip1, it seems out of date, the bluez page specifically says bluetooth-alsa is obsolete | 20:35 |
| homeskill | my laptop has an intel video card | 20:35 |
| brandon_ | user___: i do not know what you mean so here is the ./config file > http://bizzareirc.pastebin.com/d3824f8b0 | 20:35 |
| homeskill | ActionParsnip1 what should i use | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !dualhead | homeskill | 20:35 |
| ubottu | homeskill: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 20:35 |
| mchelen1 | homeskill, envy is only for nvidia and ati afaik | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | homeskill: make sure you install video drivers for the intel | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !envy | 20:35 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 20:35 |
| tmg1|riemann | user___: nope, that wasn't it | 20:36 |
| zertyuio | tmg1|riemann: I dont understand | 20:36 |
| zertyuio | plz help | 20:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | homeskill: envy is for ati and nvidia only, mchelen1 is right | 20:36 |
| zertyuio | i m still waiting | 20:36 |
| homeskill | ok | 20:37 |
| arooni_____ | with ibex; i cant get my s9 bluetooth headphones to connect to my pc... i even tried install blueman; no luck :( | 20:37 |
| tmg1|riemann | zertyuio: you're logged in | 20:37 |
| mchelen1 | brb need reboot | 20:37 |
| tmg1|riemann | try looking at what is in /tmp | 20:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | zertyuio: what are you trying to do | 20:37 |
| user___ | brandon_: ok, you need to read 'man $your-irc-server-program' and find out where to put the config file and how to restart the irc-server | 20:37 |
| tmg1|riemann | is the directory itself broken? | 20:37 |
| homeskill | ActionParsnip1 when i plug a second monitor into my laptop's vga port it makes a loud buzzing sound, but i need the second monitor plugged in in order to install/configure dual monitor support.. what should i do to be safe? | 20:37 |
| tmg1|riemann | you know, i think my problem might be a hardware issue | 20:37 |
| tmg1|riemann | i smell dead computer :( | 20:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | homeskill: then you need to read the dual head guide | 20:38 |

| wizard23 | of updates broke it, wish i had read the updates, but looked like a lot of media stuff | 20:44 |
| tmg1|riemann | zertyuio: what about 'ls /tmp/.whateverfileyouwrote' ? | 20:45 |
| tmg1|riemann | or 'touch /tmp/testme' | 20:45 |

| tmg1|riemann | wizard23: sometimes another kernel has more support for your specific hardware than the default | 20:45 |
| homeskill | how do you restart the X server? | 20:45 |
| user___ | Cool_Nick: s/compile/dont compile | 20:45 |
| tmg1|riemann | wizard23: other times you need to run 'alsaconf', but that's not recommended | 20:45 |
| zertyuio | ls /tmp | 20:45 |
| guntbert | zipper: is this a fresh install? | 20:45 |
| zertyuio | gives me | 20:45 |
| Cool_Nick | user___, Im actually fine with compiling...just the mkinitramfs isn't making a functioning initrd | 20:46 |
| zipper | yes its fresh install | 20:46 |

| wizard23 | well i got 2.6.27-generic kernel | 20:46 |
| tmg1|riemann | zertyuio: what i want to find out from you is whether or not there's undeletable, unwritable files in /tmp that are | 20:46 |
| guntbert | !who | zipper | 20:46 |
| ubottu | zipper: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 20:46 |

| Cool_Nick | user___, or if I use the ubuntu way of compiling...then I get stuck early on with missign make file for Xen | 20:46 |
| AfterDeath | apparently it's a WMP-300N - any ideas? | 20:46 |
| Tjh_ | it is there in the printer lists, but i give a print command it whirrs as if it is going to print, and does nothing | 20:46 |

| green91 | Are there any good alternatives to webmin ? | 20:46 |
| Cool_Nick | user___, which is funny since Im using git with the ubuntu site to keep it up to date | 20:46 |
| AfterDeath | I'm looking to avoid ndiswrapper or other such complications | 20:46 |
| zertyuio | ssh-IWJNmm5363 | 20:47 |
| guntbert | zipper: did you check the iso before burning? | 20:47 |
| zagabar | Hi. | 20:47 |
| homeskill | ActionParsnip1 i dont think that bug applies to me because i'm currently running my intel 945GM video card at 1280x800 | 20:47 |
| zertyuio | virtual-mydesktop.gYloTA | 20:47 |
| zertyuio | that's all | 20:47 |
| guntbert | !webmin | green91 | 20:47 |
| ubottu | green91: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 20:47 |
| zagabar | How can I compile a program that I downloaded? | 20:47 |
| user___ | Cool_Nick: hmm, cant be of much help sorry, you can post one problem and wait for answers. maybe someone can help | 20:47 |
| redvamp128 | !compile | zagabar | 20:47 |
| ubottu | zagabar: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 20:47 |

| eseven73 | on a +RW dvd how can i delete like one file from it? I'm only seeing an option in k3b to delete entire dvd, or is this not possible? | 20:48 |
| guntbert | zipper: ok, is your problem with the live CD too or after the installation? | 20:48 |
| user___ | Cool_Nick: i mean you are allowed to ask more then one question of course (no limits or fees stuff..), just post a concrete error message, thats what i was trying to say | 20:48 |
| green91 | guntbert: thanks. Ive still been using webmin but it had been acting strangely. | 20:48 |
| Cool_Nick | simplified issue: How do I make a WORKING initrd? (mkinitramfs and upgrade-initramfs are not doing it. not bringing up the correct /dev/*) | 20:49 |
| Codd | ze_; im running Jaunty right now on a p4 2.53 w/ 512mb ram . its pretty quick with ext4 filesystem | 20:49 |
| wizard23 | tmg1|riemann: when i try to run alsa commands i get cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so | 20:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | homeskill: then its ok then, read the dual head guide to setup the display | 20:49 |
| magnetron | eseven73→ you need to use UDF filesystem or similar to be able to delet files | 20:49 |
| zipper | guntbert: my problem with cd boot. | 20:49 |
| Cool_Nick | user___, k, Ill go get the error and paste it here | 20:49 |
| eseven73 | magnettron but its a dvd how do i format it for that? | 20:49 |
| Scunizi | Is there a way to "balance" split windows in terminator? | 20:49 |
| guntbert | zipper: strange, and you really checked the image with md5sum? | 20:49 |
| magnetron | eseven73→ how did you format it in the first place? | 20:49 |
| redvamp128 | ze__: there is no best distro ( it all depends on what works with your hardware the best) for example I ran Intrepid and it ran but I had some issues with it (video and flash not working) but when I run hardy I don't have as many issues. | 20:50 |
| zipper | guntbert: yes i did . even i shiped a cd from ubuntu. but there is a problem at cd boot | 20:50 |
| Louis | Hi guys. Just a quick question... why do some packages get "kept back" when running apt-get updgrade? Should I be concerned about this? | 20:50 |
| eseven73 | magnetron: I used k3b, but it did not give me options, it only said something like "Format disk" | 20:50 |
| user___ | Louis: no (people will correct me, hehe) | 20:51 |
| magnetron | eseven73→ did you format it to UDF in the first place? if not, you can't delete individual files | 20:51 |
| benste | did so try to work with DLNA Client / Server on Ubuntu? -> Scenarion: I have got 2 ubuntu machines connected to a wifi network, musik sharing via DAAP in ryhtmbox works fine. But now I want to be able to have a video eg. WALL-E as avi on my machine and watch in on the other machine which has got a better sound and grafic system. | 20:51 |
| Louis | user____: thanks! Any idea why it happens? | 20:51 |
| eseven73 | magnetron: apparently i didnt, but it did not give me any options to format it to UDF | 20:51 |
| guntbert | zipper: did the same CD work in another computer? (you see I'm just fishing around...) | 20:52 |
| user___ | Louis: its just an effect of partial delay.. should be fixed later then automatically then | 20:52 |
| eseven73 | is there a command line way of formatting dvd's to UDF? | 20:52 |
| zipper | guntbert: yes. cd works on another pc as well | 20:52 |
| Louis | user___: what's partial delay? | 20:52 |
| ze__ | Jaunty uses the last kernel version??, if so, will be as slow as ubuntu 8.10 | 20:52 |
| Codd | does any one here customize using themes? if so how do you get them and install them? | 20:52 |
| mib_lv1wa4 | hi, i wanted to ask this in a kubuntu channel as it is not really something ubuntu specific. could a nice soul take a look at this website with Konqueror and tell me if it shows plain text or renders fine? thanks a lot! http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/nsoe.xml | 20:53 |
| redvamp128 | !jaunty | ze__: | 20:53 |
| ubottu | ze__:: 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. | 20:53 |
| guntbert | zipper: so its just this one - what about a "different" live CD (knoppix...)? | 20:53 |
| user___ | Louis: the bits and pieces shouldnt be upgraded all of them at one time | 20:53 |
| Cool_Nick | Can I take an old initrd and mount it to upload modules from a newer kernel to it (to match the kernel I have compiled and want to run)? | 20:54 |
| Louis | aah i see. okay thank you! | 20:54 |
| zipper | guntbert: friend all new distros dont work . im getting same error | 20:54 |
| wizard23 | how do i role back a kernel-image? | 20:54 |
| TriBeCa99 | hi everyone, can someone tell me how to configure my samba server in ubuntu to allow a remote machine (not on the same host) to mount the shares? | 20:54 |
| zipper | guntbert: but all old distros working | 20:54 |
| wizard23 | the newest kernel has a bug apparently with my soundcard and i want to use the older generic image | 20:54 |
| TriBeCa99 | it works fine if the machine where i'm mounting the drive is behind the same domain, but when i try to connect remotely it won't let me | 20:55 |
| ze__ | Ubuntu 8.10 and pentium 4, a little slow?? | 20:55 |
| Spirits-Sight | Are there any good program that would allow you to see a website in different resourlation (screen sizes)? | 20:55 |
| Sartre | /server irc.quakenet.se | 20:55 |
| tmg1|riemann | wizard23: synaptic should allow this?? | 20:55 |
| tmg1|riemann | or do you want the pre-upgrade kernel | 20:55 |
| redvamp128 | wizard23: if you haven't removed them = you sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and comment out the lines the of the non working kernel | 20:55 |
| mib_lv1wa4 | Spirits-Sight: there are firefox addons for that i think | 20:55 |
| tmg1|riemann | wizard23: what redvamp128 sayd | 20:55 |
| user___ | Spirits-Sight: i heard they have online webservices for this, not so much desktop based | 20:55 |
| guntbert | zipper: strange, please ask your question to the channel again (without a nickname in front) - I'm out of guesses :-( | 20:55 |
| wizard23 | cool thanks, im going to try that | 20:55 |
| zipper | guntbert: friend i researched this problem by nvidia card. but i tryed everything but no way for my comp | 20:56 |
| gescape | hi | 20:56 |
| diogo | hi | 20:56 |

| gescape | I wonder why there are no 8.04.2 dvd ISOs available ??? | 20:56 |
| Spirits-Sight | user___: do you know of a name www address mib_lv1wa4 do you by any chance know where I could look for such | 20:56 |
| diogo | eu sou | 20:57 |
| diogo | sou brasileiro | 20:57 |

| user___ | Spirits-Sight: sorry no, i think you already have the right keywords for a potential google search | 20:57 |
| redvamp128 | !br | 20:57 |
| ubottu | Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 20:57 |
| user___ | Spirits-Sight: found by yourself | 20:57 |
| mib_lv1wa4 | Spirits-Sight: http://browsershots.org/ is handy. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1985 what you want :) | 20:57 |
| diogo | valeu! | 20:57 |
| ze__ | Diogo, sabes se existe alguma versão mais leve para um pentium 4 com 512 ram, instalei o 8.10 e isto arrasta-se? | 20:58 |
| zipper | who is best in this chanell to fix my problem http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/toxicityj/100_1272.jpg | 20:58 |
| === zipper is now known as deli | ||
| user___ | zipper: too late for us, file a bug in launchpad against the kernel | 20:59 |
| mib_lv1wa4 | Spirits-Sight: actually check out the comments on that addon page: just enter this in your address bar to get a window or 800x600 for example: javascript:window.resizeTo(800,600) | 20:59 |
| tmg1|riemann | aha my video card fan isn't moving. not clogged with dust. i wonder if it moves in windows | 20:59 |
| nomiculus | how do i find out what 'hostname' or ip address to put into /etc/exports for a client? pls anyone | 20:59 |
| guntbert | zipper: a hint: you might get better response if you formulate your problem in words and stated it all in one line :-) (so its easier to read) | 21:00 |
| nomiculus | i don't have a static i.p. | 21:00 |
| tmg1|riemann | will having a lower resolution / something like that put less strain on a video card? | 21:01 |
| benste | does someone know about DLNA ? | 21:01 |
| ze__ | Diogo, alguma distro mais leve que o 8.10? (pentium 4) | 21:01 |
| user___ | benste: whats the concrete error message? | 21:01 |
| TriBeCa99 | let's try again | 21:01 |
| TriBeCa99 | can someone tell me how to configure my samba server in ubuntu to allow a remote machine (not on the same host) to mount the shares? | 21:01 |
| mib_lv1wa4 | tmg1|riemann: you could try disabling all the fancy effects (i don't use ubuntu myself so i don't know the correct term, desktop effects or something). but i doubt it would help much. do you have an nvidia card? | 21:02 |
| TriBeCa99 | it accepts connections from behind the same domain (columbia.edu) but not from elsewhere (i.e. my apartment) | 21:02 |
| veckt | hello, i got a problem. i used to have fedora and i backed up all my data on a LVM disk, now i installed ubuntu and i would like to get my data back, but ubuntu doesn't recognise the LVM. what should i do? i'm pretty new at linux.. | 21:02 |
| user___ | !samba | TriBeCa99 | 21:02 |
| ubottu | TriBeCa99: 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. | 21:02 |
| benste | user___ the problem is that I don't know how to set it up for video sharing, my original post was: | 21:02 |
| benste | (21:51:45) IRC - Ubuntu: did so try to work with DLNA Client / Server on Ubuntu? -> Scenarion: I have got 2 ubuntu machines connected to a wifi network, musik sharing via DAAP in ryhtmbox works fine. But now I want to be able to have a video eg. WALL-E as avi on my machine and watch in on the other machine which has got a better sound and grafic system. | 21:02 |
| tmg1|riemann | mib_lv1wa4: nope, ati radeon x1650 series | 21:05 |
| user___ | benste: never heard of dlna so far, sorry | 21:05 |
| user___ | benste: maybe there is a dlna channel or a streaming channel? | 21:05 |
| mib_lv1wa4 | tmg1|riemann: no idea then. for nvidia there is a tool called nvclock which allows setting eg. the fan speed. maybe there is something similar for ati | 21:06 |
| nasso | does anyone know if its possible to show multiple tabs in gnome-terminal at the same time? | 21:07 |
| benste | user___ | 21:07 |
| benste | the problem is what should I open to view it - Google just told me about DLNA server | 21:07 |
| benste | by the way: http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/technology/technology/theme/dlna_01.html | 21:07 |
| tmg1|riemann | looks like there is, for windows at least | 21:07 |
| FloodBot2 | benste: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:07 |
| newpers | i installed ubuntu server in virtual box on windows xp. when it boots i get an error that the cpu does not support pae. | 21:07 |
| nasso | kind of like you can do in windows, "organize horizontal" or what it says | 21:07 |
| tmg1|riemann | i'll try that first, the card could just be cooked too | 21:07 |
| redvamp128 | mib_lv1wa4: there is an nvclock -- you have to add mediabuntu -- to you repository -- I have it installed | 21:07 |
| newpers | is there a way to disable the pae requirement when i boot the kernel in grub? | 21:07 |
| dmz | howdy y'all, i just got my base system live cd running great, now i need to be able to install it onto a local disk. i have install ubiquity but do not know what to run when it boots to get it to install, any suggestions? | 21:08 |
| benste | nasso there is a project which isn't in the ubuntu resp which allows you to use multiple shells | 21:08 |
| crdlb | nasso: no, it doesn't have a split view; though you can do a horizontal split with gnu screen | 21:08 |
| redvamp128 | mib_lv1wa4: Medibuntu - Community Ubuntu Documentation <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu> | 21:08 |
| mib_lv1wa4 | redvamp128: you misunderstood, i was wondering if there was an equivalent for ATI | 21:09 |
| nasso | crdlb, oh. i use screen anyway | 21:09 |
| redvamp128 | mib_lv1wa4: I run nvidia so I don't know | 21:09 |
| benste | nasso: see https://launchpad.net/terminator | 21:09 |
| nasso | crdlb, do you know how or should i google it? :) | 21:09 |
| mib_lv1wa4 | yes, me too ~_~ | 21:09 |
| nasso | benste, thanks. will look it up | 21:09 |

| jsn | Hello. I'm running hardy/2.4.24-23-generic and just bought (whee!) a wacom bamboo tablet (650-cte). It's not detected in any of the ways the HOWTO expects. I've tried both vanilla and compiled drivers, but I think the problem might be one step back from the driver. | 21:11 |
| _VIM_ | storbeck: the last line concerns me the most, but the permissons issue should be easily solved by just adding a sudo infront of the commands no? http://paste.ubuntu.com/124428/ | 21:11 |
| crdlb | nasso: C-a S to make one, C-a Tab to switch | 21:11 |
| user___ | benste: just found http://certification.dlna.org/products/Default.aspx - does it give you something if your search for linux or similar? | 21:12 |
| benste | user___ I'll take a look just hang on a min | 21:12 |
| nasso | crdlb, thanks alot | 21:12 |
| benste | user___ this may be helpful for buying additional hardware, but not for searching an opensource implementation for it | 21:13 |
| nasso | crdlb, screen is the best invention since the friccin wheel... or dr pepper | 21:14 |
| Guest88690 | is there a known problem with ubuntu 8.10 x64 and the nvidia drivers...I only find maybes everywhere I look...Google the forums | 21:14 |
| user___ | benste: havent found anything, maybe dlna is more appliances oriented designed, software wise you would for other technologies (which there are plenty of) | 21:14 |
| Guest88690 | they seemed to work when I accidently installed 32bit ubuntu...but they don't seem to for 64bit...weird...those extra bits will getcha everytime...I guess | 21:15 |
| D3RGPS31 | How do I install 32bit packages on 64bit ubuntu :D | 21:15 |
| jatt | do the script in /etc/cron.d run hourly, daily or monthly? or they just don't run at all automatically? | 21:15 |
| benste | user___ ehm DLNA is very famous on windows machines, it comes nearly with all TVs, PS3, laptops ... | 21:16 |
| Guest88690 | D3RGPS31: find the 64bit ubuntu package or recompile from source are the only two I know | 21:16 |
| jsn | jatt: if you have a laptop and are using anacron, it isn't even that. but to answer your question, iirc, some run daily, some weekly, etc\ | 21:16 |
| user___ | benste: so its like standard in windows media player? | 21:16 |
| benste | user___ but by the way which solution would you propose me to watch a video from a PC which is in the home network? | 21:16 |
| jsn | I'll try rebooting again | 21:17 |
| D3RGPS31 | Guest88690: thank you :D | 21:17 |
| jatt | jsn: I have a laptop and I have currently anacron and cron installed, I'm not sure even if both are running | 21:17 |
| benste | user___ it is installed per default in WMP but I don't like WMP because it'S M$ | 21:17 |
| jatt | are the /etc/cron.d/ entries anacron only? | 21:17 |
| Guest88690 | I am going through synaptic, so the version I am "activating" should be the 64bit version, right? | 21:17 |
| Jufis | how to rename folder in terminal? | 21:17 |
| jatt | Jufis: mv | 21:18 |
| user___ | benste: i would setup a network file system or use a streaming protocol if ad-hoc-bandwith (while playing the movie) is a problem | 21:18 |

| zertyuio | is there anyone h ere can help mz | 21:20 |

| Hilikus | hey guys, after updating to 8.1 i cant mount my mp3 player like i could before | 21:21 |
| benste | user___ the problem with streaming with udp is that I have to start this process manually on both machines, DLNA allows you to acces media from another machine without doing something else on the server machine | 21:21 |
| nasso | guntbert, i totally love its. its so easy to use. its kind of like vim but easier to use and learn. the help at C-k C-h is great | 21:22 |

| nasso | im running spotify in wine on my ubuntu machine. while im doing that im sometimes having graphical problems in other applications. its kind of like the screen of the applications doesnt upgrade. when you scroll back and forth in firefox images and text kind of "sticks" and makes it hard to read. have anyone had this problem or know what might cause it? | 21:27 |
| Hilikus | so any ideas? my UMS mp3 player is reported as not being removable so i cant mount it with pmount | 21:27 |
| pirvings | pyrohotdog: ffmpeg | 21:27 |
| mib_e0hpl1 | i downloaded kubuntu, but not able to get WiFi working .. anyone had same issue_ | 21:27 |
| mib_e0hpl1 | ? | 21:27 |
| benste | user___ so no other ideas left,? eg I read about http://coherence.beebits.net/wiki/Nautilus but didn't get the point | 21:27 |
| tmg1|riemann | the fact that you're having this problem is a bad sign imho, i thought ubuntu dealt with this issue | 21:27 |
| amaurea | after being updated to 2.6.27.12 from 2.6.27.11, I have a small but irritating problem with the nvidia driver (180.22): In some games there seems to be some kind of resource leak. things slow down after a while, and the game crashes. any ideas of what could be wrong? I have tried reinstalling the driver (which was necessary anyway) | 21:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | mib_e0hpl1: wel, first, type "lspci" no quotes, in a terminal, and figure ut what your wireless device is | 21:27 |
| meho_r | pyrohotdog: you mean extract audio from flash? Try avidemux | 21:28 |
| alito66 | Escriba el texto aquí....hola | 21:28 |
| newpers | any reason why i can't ssh into my machine. ssh server is running and i see it listening on 0.0.0.0:22. i can ping the server, but i get a network error: connection refused when i try to ssh into it | 21:28 |

| D_likescookies | I'm having trouble, how do I run terminal as root? | 21:29 |
| benste | user___ what is coherence ? is it just a name? | 21:29 |
| kb3ien | some mention of debian 'sid's was found by google, but i've had both kde and gnome before.... | 21:29 |
| RichW | I plan to get a 1TB drive and partition it so that it dual boots vista and ubuntu. Vista has its own bootloader (bootmgr?) and linux has grub... a drive cant have two bootloaders can it? | 21:29 |
| guntbert | !root | D_likescookies | 21:29 |
| ubottu | D_likescookies: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:29 |
| RichW | I am a bit confused about this. | 21:29 |
| user___ | benste: its a software, read the article, it mentions gstreamer and *rhythmbox* for the client side | 21:29 |
| D_likescookies | ty guntbert | 21:29 |
| shear | RichW, if you install windows then linux, grub can handle the booting for both | 21:29 |
| theilluminatic | which parts of the gstreamer pipline | 21:30 |
| theilluminatic | audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux | 21:30 |
| theilluminatic | would I change if I want to rip v0 mp3? | 21:30 |

| RichW | grub duplicates what vista does for booting? | 21:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | RichW: grub will overwrite vista's boot loader, the bootloader will load first, then assuming all goes well, you'll be able to choose which os you want to boot | 21:30 |
| RichW | So grub has a windows bootloader implimentation? | 21:30 |
| shear | RichW, I've never done it with vista, but dual booting with XP works fine with GRUB as the bootloader | 21:30 |
| tmg1|riemann | RichW: it can...but it might take some doing | 21:30 |
| RichW | I have vista | 21:30 |
| RichW | I plan to use vista for games. | 21:31 |
| nasso | guntbert, i "activated" my root account with sudo passwd, is there a simple way to deactivate it again? just choose a random long password and forget it? :P | 21:31 |
| guntbert | D_likescookies: yw, if you *really* need a root shell (and not just single commands as root) use sudo -i | 21:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | RichW: no, grub will give you a menu entry of "Windows vista" for example, and you choose it, and it boots vista | 21:31 |
| tmg1|riemann | RichW: put it this way, at work we were seriously using grub to boot windows server 2008 since we were having so much trouble getting windows bootloader to do it properly | 21:31 |
| dmz | anyone here familiar with ubiquity? | 21:31 |
| tmg1|riemann | nasso: you go into /etc/password and change the password string there from whatever it is to whatever it is that represents 'no password' | 21:31 |
| tmg1|riemann | i think it's just * but you'll see most of the other users in that file will have it | 21:31 |
| RichW | Can you explain how it does it technically.... since vista requires its own bootloader to boot doesnt it? does grub read ntfs? | 21:31 |
| user___ | benste: not sure if that make sense with rhytmbox though since we talk about movies | 21:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | RichW: use google | 21:32 |
| guntbert | nasso: don't follow tmg1|riemann ! | 21:32 |
| Hilikus | even lshal is marking my device as non removable | 21:32 |
| Hilikus | hilikus@mazinger:~$ cat /sys/block/sdc/removable | 21:32 |
| Hilikus | 0 | 21:32 |
| tmg1|riemann | guntbert: ? | 21:32 |
| Hilikus | but it is | 21:32 |
| amaurea | How do I go back to an earlier version of the kernel? The one I recently upgraded to is giving me trouble | 21:33 |
| lmoretti | RichW: I've usually seen it "Chainload"- it boots the GRUB loader, then when you select Windows, it hands off to the Windows Bootloader. | 21:33 |
| theilluminatic | which part of this gstreamer pipeline | 21:33 |
| theilluminatic | audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux | 21:33 |
| theilluminatic | do I change to rip v0 mp3s? | 21:33 |
| guntbert | tmg1|riemann: there are no passwords in /etc/password | 21:33 |
| RichW | Perhaps i will have to test inside a virtualbox. | 21:33 |
| RichW | Imoretti: your suggesting a hard drive can have two bootloaders? | 21:33 |
| theilluminatic | anyone? | 21:33 |
| nasso | tmg1|riemann, no password means that just can log in without a password. that doesnt sound like a good idea on a root account | 21:33 |
| mysyfy | hi, i just erroneous executed chown -R user.users * at /var | 21:33 |
| mysyfy | is there any easy way to restore previous ownership ? | 21:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | RichW: there are plenty of people who dual boot vista/ubuntu.. if there were an issue w/ the bootloaders, it would show up in google... I've told you how it works, and you insist on not listening... i can't make you see the forest if you're blinded by the trees | 21:34 |
| tmg1|riemann | there is a default symbol that doesn't allow login though | 21:34 |
| RichW | Ok i guess a drive does support two loaders then. | 21:34 |
| lmoretti | RichW: Sort of- most OS's don't store the whole bootloader in the sector 0 anymore- not enough space: so they write a small piece of code there that calls a "Secondary" bootloader off another area of the drive: /boot in the case of linux. | 21:34 |
| tmg1|riemann | x ? | 21:34 |
| Umeaboy | Hi! | 21:34 |
| tmg1|riemann | i think it's x | 21:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | RichW: lol | 21:34 |
| imperator_ | #xbins | 21:34 |
| tmg1|riemann | x not * | 21:34 |
| guntbert | nasso: tmg1|riemann, edit /etc/shadow (as root), find the line root: ... and replace the string between the 1st and 2nd colon with an exclamation mark | 21:35 |
| mysyfy | chmod -R 777 * ??????? | 21:35 |
| tmg1|riemann | sorry /etc/passwd | 21:35 |
| Decepticon | how do i tell where the largest files on the hdd are | 21:35 |
| Umeaboy | I need some help by looking at a problem if it is caused by a bug. | 21:35 |
| nasso | tmg1|riemann, if you use /dev/false as shell in /etc/passwd you cant login | 21:35 |
| manaus | boa tarde | 21:35 |
| manaus | alguem pode me ajudar | 21:35 |
| nasso | thats not what i want though | 21:35 |
| Umeaboy | I don't know if the problem is caused by a bug or a faulty graphicscard. | 21:35 |
| RichW | IndyGunFreak: Thanks, thats what i wanted to know in first place :) | 21:35 |
| cconstantine_ | Could someone help me upgrade alsa? I need version 1.0.18 or newer. | 21:36 |
| nasso | guntbert, will try that, thanks | 21:36 |
| tmg1|riemann | nasso: that works too | 21:36 |
| lmoretti | RichW: so what it does is the part of Grub in the sector 0 calls the GRUB program in /boot. When you select the "Windows" entry, it then calls the Windows bootloader off your windows partition. | 21:36 |
| Umeaboy | manaus: #ubuntu-br please. | 21:36 |
| tmg1|riemann | wait | 21:36 |
| tmg1|riemann | no | 21:36 |
| tmg1|riemann | it's not that you don't want to be able to login maybe | 21:36 |
| RichW | IndyGunFreak: Makes alot more sense now. | 21:36 |
| manaus | estou com um problema com o meu pen drive | 21:36 |
| tmg1|riemann | i'm not sure if the /dev/false thing will screw with sudo/pam or not | 21:36 |
| Umeaboy | manaus: Pen drive? This isn't the right channel for pen drive-support. | 21:37 |
| unop | Decepticon, if you want a GUI representation - baobab should help. if you want a command line solution, let me know and i'll paste one. | 21:37 |
| RichW | Imoretti* | 21:37 |
| Decepticon | im using ncdu | 21:37 |
| guntbert | nasso: yw , just do it in /etc/shadow and not in /etc/passwd | 21:37 |
| Guest88690 | i wonder why apt-get upgrade doesn't seem to pickup the kernel updates | 21:37 |
| Umeaboy | manaus: #pendrive is also a place you should visit. | 21:37 |
| lmoretti | RichW: Yes? | 21:37 |
| manaus | ? | 21:37 |
| RichW | Imoretti, sorry i was quoting IndyGunFreak by accident. | 21:38 |

| whisperkiller | scuse me gunbert but my question scrolled off screen i dont see how that is repeating quickle | 21:48 |
| nasso | fidelitysystem, if it doesnt, you probably have a router or firewall in the way. you could connect to it using the local ip. run the command; ifconfig to see what ip you have locally | 21:48 |
| nasso | fidelitysystem, run it on the machine with the openssh-server | 21:48 |
| whisperkiller | im nost spamming...if you dont want to answer me then kindly keep to yourself | 21:48 |
| pmitros | Hi. I'm trying to make X allow tcp connections. I am aware of the security risk, but it is on a private network, and temporarily necessary. I changed /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc, as well as /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, and finally X starts without -nolisten tcp. It still doesn't listen on TCP, however. nmap shows port 6000 closed, and X forwarding doesn't work. | 21:48 |
| dr_Willis | Rocket101, its trivial.. the only real propblem is that if you double click on it.. it might try to run. If you copy things from windows filesystems. often the exe bit gets set wrongly. | 21:48 |
| pmitros | Any clues as to how to force X to accept TCP connections? | 21:48 |
| dr_Willis | # Script to fix permissions on all files below current dir. *make the files NOT exeutable * | 21:49 |
| dr_Willis | find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 664 | 21:49 |
| dr_Willis | :) | 21:49 |
| Rocket101 | dr_Willis, its OK thanks man | 21:49 |
| fidelitysystem | inet addr:192.168.1.105 this mean what my ip internet? | 21:49 |
| dr_Willis | pmitros, ive had x forarding work without having to do that.. but that may be due to me using ssh i guess... | 21:49 |
| lion_ | I'm trying to NATing one computer via ubuntu running on second one.. i've enabled ip_forwarding, have enabled masquerading in iptables, but packets not returning to me | 21:50 |
| dr_Willis | pmitros, or it could be theres some other way to 'x forward' that ive never messed with :) | 21:50 |
| Caplain | lion_: did you setup the masquerade chain in iptables and routing? | 21:50 |
| pmitros | dr_willis: ssh uses a Unix domain socket and ssh port tunneling to set it up (which has the advantage of being secure). It doesn't do normal TCP x forwarding. | 21:50 |
| fidelitysystem | ls | 21:50 |
| dr_Willis | pmitros, too many similer terms i guess. :) confuses us non-cs majors. :) | 21:51 |
| nasso | fidelitysystem, that is you local ip on the local network | 21:51 |
| whisperkiller | can someone help me figure out why I cannot get winedoors to start up in 8.10? | 21:51 |
| nasso | fidelitysystem, you can connect to the ssh server using that ip | 21:51 |
| lion_ | <Caplain> under root: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADING | 21:52 |
| dr_Willis | pmitros, and that differs from doing a 'xhost + localhost' "export DISPLAY=' and running somthing In what way? ive ran apps that way befor.. | 21:52 |
| pmitros | dr_willis: On classic Unix systems, X listens on TCP port 6000. To connect to a machine, you'd simply "xhost +machine-name-one" to permit that machine to connect, and "export DISPLAY=machine-name-2:0.0" to tell X what machine to display to. | 21:52 |
| Caplain | lion_: pm me | 21:52 |
| fidelitysystem | mm but if trying for another computer | 21:52 |
| fidelitysystem | how i can do that | 21:52 |
| lion_ | <Caplain>: how? | 21:52 |
| === UAngo is now known as UAngo_ | ||
| nasso | fidelitysystem, start putty and connect to 192.168.1.105 | 21:53 |
| fidelitysystem | but that is the ip local ? | 21:53 |
| pmitros | dr_willis: X went unencrypted over the network. Very insecure. ssh introduced a secure way to do it. Years later, distributions started to shut off X's ability to listen on a tcp port. Normally, it is a settable flag, but Ubuntu appears to have broken it so you can't unset it. | 21:53 |
| R0b0t1 | Does anyone have a suggestion of a grey/brown theme? | 21:54 |
| Hilikus | my ums mp3 player is reported by sysfs as not being removable and i cant use pmount to mount it anymore. i was able to pre 8.1. any ideas why this changed? | 21:54 |
| nasso | fidelitysystem, it is the local ip for the linux computer yes. if you have a router at home all computers on your network gets a local ip each. they all share one extenal ip | 21:54 |
| fidelitysystem | ok and if my friend wants to connecting how he can connect ? | 21:55 |
| nasso | fidelitysystem, the local ip can be found using ifconfig in linux and ipconfig in windows in the cmd application. | 21:55 |
| hunt577 | Hi, I got to the screen in BIOS where I clicked on "Run Ubuntu without changing anything on my computer" but when I hit enter on that nothing ever happens, it just sort of freezes. Tried burning the image onto another CD-R but same thing | 21:55 |
| fidelitysystem | but my friend can`t connect to my server because is not in my network ... | 21:56 |
| cconstantine_ | fidelitysystem: you need to configure your router to forward to your internal IP (192.168.1.105) | 21:56 |
| nasso | fidelitysystem, if a friend want to connect you have to forward a port from the router to the computer with the open-ssh server. and he connects to the ip that you see if you surf to http://www.ip-adress.com/ | 21:56 |
| rambo3 | I has problem with mouting speakers | 21:56 |
| nasso | fidelitysystem, cconstantine_ , yeah. and you probably need to set up your dhcp-server so that 192.168.1.105 keeps that ip | 21:57 |
| alex_mayorga | rambo3: what's the problem? | 21:57 |
| fidelitysystem | whats the dhcp srever | 21:57 |
| jpds | !dhcp | fidelitysystem | 21:57 |
| ubottu | fidelitysystem: dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 21:57 |
| cconstantine_ | fidelitysystem: most likely the router | 21:57 |
| nasso | fidelitysystem, its a function on the router that gives computers ip-addresses. you can configure it to always give the same ip the a computer | 21:58 |
| guntbert | fidelitysystem: please ask in ##networking for further assistance with that | 21:58 |
| alex_mayorga | fidelitysystem: is the host in the network that assigns dynamic IPs to other hosts | 21:58 |
| fidelitysystem | ok | 21:58 |
| fidelitysystem | and now jeje im bother u but how i can install the apache | 21:58 |
| dmz | is there a web page for ubiquity? i am only finding bug reports and no real details on how it's put together anywhere | 21:58 |
| guntbert | fidelitysystem: sudo apt-get install apache2 | 21:59 |
| fidelitysystem | thanks | 21:59 |
| jeff_ | hello | 21:59 |

| jeff_ | Can someone with Gutsy Gibbon Please PERSONAL MESSAGE ME! | 22:02 |
| _VIM_ | !pm | jeff_ | 22:02 |
| pmitros | So X in Intrepid seems seriously broken. TCP X forwarding doesn't work. xdmx core dumps. | 22:02 |

| dr_Willis | pmitros, you sure its not yet another thing the X developers 'fixed' ? ;) | 22:03 |
| ramukaka420 | (l) | 22:03 |
| nasso | matiasag, i cant get that to work | 22:03 |
| ramukaka420 | im so kool | 22:03 |
| guntbert | nasso: I googled that, it seems to be a thing between ubuntu and screen | 22:03 |
| ramukaka420 | rite | 22:03 |
| mm1 | how to start installing tv tuner card on ubuntu 8.10? | 22:03 |
| ramukaka420 | i kno rite | 22:03 |
| ramukaka420 | totally | 22:03 |
| nasso | guntbert, a bug? | 22:03 |
| jeff_ | How Do I Install Yahoo Instant Messenger On Ubuntu 7.10 The Gutsy Gibbon??? | 22:03 |
| Hilikus | my ums mp3 player is reported by sysfs as not being removable and i cant use pmount to mount it anymore. i was able to pre 8.1. any ideas why this changed? | 22:03 |
| pmitros | dr_willis: xdmx seg faulting? I'm pretty sure that's a bug. The TCP forwarding may be "fixed" -- like you do a pet. | 22:03 |
| _VIM_ | ramukaka420: do you have a question? | 22:03 |
| dr_Willis | mm1, if the proper modules are loaded.. you sould see a /dev/video0 device. | 22:03 |
| cyrus_mc | on the GDM login screen there is an option under sessions called Xclients. I assume this is the session you want to use if you j ust want to start up X number of applications. Question is, how do I setup up what apps to start | 22:04 |
| jsn | Given a loaded module, how can I determine which version it is? | 22:04 |
| guntbert | nasso: it seems so - or they call it a feature ;-) | 22:04 |
| fidelitysystem | mm installed but my friend try to connect but nothing .. how my friend can see? | 22:04 |
| Hilikus | jsn modinfo | 22:04 |
| nasso | guntbert, not being able to scroll is a feature? :P | 22:04 |
| mib_u8lmqz | I am at the Ubuntu Installation Screen in BIOS, and I had "Try Ubuntu Without Any Change To Your Computer" selected, I then hit enter and it seems to freeze and do nothing. What have I done wrong? | 22:04 |
| mm1 | dr_wills any terminal commands to cheecck if these are installed? | 22:04 |
| dr_Willis | cyrus_mc, i think your assumption is wrong.. that 'session' runs the .Xsession (or was it .Xclient) script to learn what to run for the X session. | 22:05 |
| jsn | thx, Hilikus, I'll try that right now. | 22:05 |
| matiasag | nasso: are you on a screen session? I always did that with ctrl+esc. Just make sure you don't press escape again because that takes you out from the copying mode. | 22:05 |
| _VIM_ | mib_u8lmqz: did you check cd for errors? | 22:05 |
| nasso | yes im in a screen session. im have split the screen, that should matter, right? | 22:05 |
| dr_Willis | mm1, lsmod to see what modules are loaded.. as for what ones need to be loaded.. i would google for 'your specific tv tuner card and linux ' | 22:05 |
| C0de | Anyone elce think the wild fires in Aus are realy funny? | 22:06 |
| guntbert | nasso: not for me, anyway it works on other distros, and somewhere I read, that the ubuntus spoilt that... | 22:06 |
| mib_u8lmqz | _VIM_ it freezes when I hit enter on that option too | 22:06 |

| _VIM_ | mib_u8lmqz: hmm try to burn another disk at a slower speed maybe | 22:06 |
| matiasag | nasso: I'm sorry, the correct combination is ctrl+a and then escape. This works until you press escape again, or the space bar twice. | 22:07 |

| dr_Willis | mm1, that may have more to do with your router then linux. | 22:11 |
| mm1 | 'remote desktop like vnc | 22:11 |
| xjunior | Hi, I have an ubuntu desktop, after I remove a HD it doesn't start anymore with kernel panic | 22:11 |
| ScottG489 | How do I mess around with what wm starts when gnome starts? | 22:11 |
| mm1 | i checked it its not router | 22:11 |
| dr_Willis | mm1, 'sudo iptables --list' shows all firewall rules.. if they are blank.. nothing is being blocked.. | 22:12 |
| mm1 | ok | 22:12 |
| nasso | ScottG489, check session in system->prefs | 22:12 |
| dr_Willis | !firewall | 22:12 |
| 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). | 22:12 |
| C0de | Whats the diference between ipchains and iptalbes | 22:12 |
| dr_Willis | C0de, about the same as a henway | 22:12 |
| Diztract | hi i just installed ubuntu, i was told i dont need an anti-virus protection. Is this true? | 22:13 |
| Geek`N`Proud | C0de, IPTables is what is used on the newer kernel | 22:13 |
| _VIM_ | true | 22:13 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Diztract, yes that is true | 22:13 |
| Diztract | sweet | 22:13 |
| benxx | hi | 22:13 |
| Diztract | tysvm | 22:13 |
| _VIM_ | !virus | Diztract (read this to find out why)... | 22:13 |
| ubottu | Diztract (read this to find out why)...: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 22:13 |
| Diztract | does anyone know where i can go to learn more about linux? | 22:13 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Diztract, GNU/Linux viruses depend upon exploiting root processes to spread effectively | 22:13 |
| C0de | is a kernel like windows N | 22:13 |
| C0de | T | 22:13 |
| Diztract | like a linux for beginners or dummies | 22:13 |
| benxx | does anybody know to install aim | 22:13 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Diztract, so therefore they don't spread for long | 22:13 |

| mm1 | dr wills i get chain forward, input and output on typing iptables--list | 22:14 |
| dr_Willis | Diztract, google has 10000's of sites. :) linux is so documented.. its scary.. of course its a Huge topic also. | 22:14 |
| Geek`N`Proud | you can always research things you don't understand | 22:14 |
| Diztract | im loving this OS | 22:14 |
| dr_Willis | mm1, yes.. its showuing theres no rules for those 'tables' | 22:14 |
| Diztract | actually i dont know anything about linux period! so i really need to know where to start | 22:14 |
| * jsn is not compeletely unhappy editing xorg.conf (if it works) instead of wacomcpl or xsetwacom | 22:14 | |

| mm1 | yes i can c the same stuff on terminal | 22:16 |
| dr_Willis | mm1, you have a 'blank' empty iptables rule set then. ie: no firewall. | 22:16 |

For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 22:19 |

| oliver3 | I have an Asus P5QL mobo with an Intel High Definition 82801JI on-board audio controller, drivers are apparently all installed and working, but I get no audio. Anyone got any tips? | 22:21 |
| arlbee | NTFS | 22:21 |
| LogicFan | sometimes when i update repos and keys via command line and then open up synaptic, the same pkgs cannot be found | 22:21 |
| LogicFan | even when hitting reload | 22:21 |
| fidelitysystem | how i can enter to my router :S | 22:21 |
| johnzorn | does ubuntu use a default sound system? and if so is it possible to restart it? | 22:22 |
| sprinkmeier_ | arlbee, I usually mount NTFS read-only (which prettymuch precludes checkdisk type stuff). Personally I'd mount it RO and slurp off the data. | 22:22 |
| _VIM_ | fidelitysystem: that's not really an Ubuntu question, but normally its http://192.168.0.1 | 22:22 |
| LogicFan | johnzorn, yes, ALSA or pulseaudio | 22:22 |
| johnzorn | LogicFan, so doing a /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart should restart alsa? | 22:23 |
| sprinkmeier_ | arlbee, usually the data is worth more than the media. If you have doubts on the disk either ditch it or make sure you have a backup copy. | 22:23 |
| mib_u8lmqz | _VIM_ sorry I missed your response earlier, what speed do you recommend I burn the Image at? | 22:23 |
| _VIM_ | mib_u8lmqz: maybe 50% slower than what you had it mib_u8lmqz | 22:23 |
| LogicFan | johnzorn, almost, it doesn't totally unload the modules | 22:23 |
| mib_u8lmqz | thank you | 22:23 |
| tsrk | How can I find out what program is using a USB device and causing it to be inaccessible by another program? | 22:23 |
| LogicFan | johnzorn, do this first: sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload | 22:23 |
| Family | loaded ubuntu 8.04 - ndiswrapper works. can see the wireless network, network light is on (on wireless card) but cant connect to the internet. any ideas ? | 22:23 |
| sprinkmeier_ | johnzorn, try 'fuser /dev/dsp' sometimes an app will grab audio and not share... kill the app and sound should return | 22:23 |
| LogicFan | johnzorn, then do the command you said to re initalize | 22:24 |
| LogicFan | johnzorn, and possibly killall pulseaudio if you have it running | 22:24 |
| arlbee | Thanks very muchSprinkmeier | 22:24 |

| nasso | fidelitysystem, check out http://portforward.com/ . you need to forward port 22 to the local ip of the computer with the ssh-server | 22:30 |
| Dillizar | i need a program for virtual cd! any one | 22:30 |
| LogicFan | imaginativeone, a special linux distro for network-attached-storage devices (NAS) | 22:30 |

| awell | I have ebox v 0.12 installed on my server and it's working. I need an ftp service. What's the best on to use in conjunction with ebox? | 22:30 |
| CentHOGG | hi I've just installed XFCE on a PPC and everything is ok. The only thing is that the menus are very fast. What I mean is this. For example If I pop up the mouse-finder menu and look at what my options there are, the menu will close within 4 secs (too quick). Is there a way to set this longer or turn off the menu reset entirely? thx | 22:30 |
| LogicFan | gablin, do you have supported hardware or having to use something like ndiswrapper? | 22:30 |
| imaginativeone | LogicFan: do I need to set it up in its own box? | 22:30 |
| xjunior | sprinkmeier_: hummmm ok | 22:30 |
| LogicFan | imaginativeone, you could use virtualmachine software... | 22:30 |
| gablin | LogicFan: It's an Atheros 242x, I believe. | 22:30 |
| Family | i can see wlan0 in ifconfig with the ip address etc | 22:31 |
| LogicFan | but generally, a seperate machine is preferable | 22:31 |
| LogicFan | gablin, what card exactly? | 22:31 |
| gablin | LogicFan: Hold on. | 22:31 |
| sprinkmeier_ | xjunior, sorry about vague help, but problem description isn't too speciffic. Trying to knock off the easy ones first before looking at grub config files :-) | 22:31 |
| Jackalope85 | Someone plz help? | 22:31 |
| gablin | LogicFan: Atheros AR242x Wireless 802.11 b/g | 22:32 |
| imaginativeone | LogicFan: what I'd like to do is set up my 4 200GB hard drives in a headless box, can I do that with freenas? | 22:32 |
| LogicFan | gablin, i mean the manufacturer | 22:32 |
| stefano | hi. i've just performed an upgrade (some weeks after last one) of my 8.10 on my acer aspire one.It worked, but now when I maximize a window in gnome, the the upper part disappear. the title bar does not exist anymore, as well as the buttons for maximizing, minimizing, etc. Same thing happen with xfce. how could i solve? | 22:32 |
| LogicFan | imaginativeone, you can use any amount of storage with FreeNAS | 22:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: are you using 32bit or 64bit?.. there's a lot of tutorials for that device | 22:32 |
| gablin | LogicFan: I think the manufacturer of the card is Ahteros, but the computer is a Samsung. | 22:32 |

| LogicFan | gablin, oh, laptop | 22:33 |
| xjunior | sprinkmeier_: I'll take a look on memory, after you say it I remmembered that I changed the memory from slot | 22:33 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: 32-bit | 22:33 |
| sprinkmeier_ | stefano, sounds like monitor does not support resolution, or horizontal hold is off or something.... | 22:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: manufacturer is irrelevant, you posted the right info. | 22:33 |
| n8tuserf | Jackalope85 -> http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=193 | 22:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: you have internet access other than wireless? | 22:33 |
| Family | sprinkmeier_>ip route = 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.40 | 22:33 |
| Jackalope85 | Huh? | 22:33 |
| sprinkmeier_ | xjunior, using all the anti-static precautions? (I never do either :-) | 22:33 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: Yeah, through the cable. The only problem is that I only have one cable so I have to yank it out from this computer and insert it into the laptop... -_- | 22:33 |
| n8tuserf | Jackalope85 -> http://linuxfans.betaserver.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46:broadcom-guide-for-ubuntu-hardy-and-newer&catid=34:guides&Itemid=61 1st paste from wrong clipboard | 22:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: ok.. that really shouldn't be to big of a problem.. two more questions, are you using 8.10, and have you updated (this is a pain in the ass if you have) | 22:34 |
| stefano | sprinkmeier_, i can see the upper bar of the desktop environment. just the windows lose their upper frame | 22:34 |
| stefano | sprinkmeier_, in xfce you can see a blank space instead of the frame | 22:34 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Family, so your wireless NIC is 192.168.1.40? | 22:35 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Family, I'm looking for the default route, something like 'default via 192.168.1.1 dev ath0 metric 100 ' | 22:35 |
| Dillizar | !iso | 22:35 |

| gablin | IndyGunFreak: I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu, meaning 8.10. Installed it just a few hours ago, and I run the package update on the whole system. | 22:35 |
| Jackalope85 | I will check it out, but I have been pouring over all available documentation all day. I barely know how to use linux, and I cannot get my wireless card to work. | 22:35 |
| xjunior | sprinkmeier_: hehehe, nop, but I know that the video board was taking some space from the memory board, so it may be the problem | 22:35 |

| IndyGunFreak | gablin: honestly, i can never get that device to work on a system thats updated(I have it on 3 laptops) | 22:35 |
| dean | gablin | 22:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: youc an try ndiswrapper, but the easiest way is to install the backport modules, ut it never works on an updated system. | 22:36 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: By "that device" you mean the wireless card? | 22:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: yes | 22:36 |
| n8tuserf | sprinkmeier_ -> type sudo ip a | 22:36 |
| Family | <sprinkmeier_> default via 192.168.1.254 dev wlan0 metric 100 (pardon me if its slow im typing from the other screen) | 22:36 |
| funkycat90210 | when i do su - user -c 'echo $PATH", I see a different path than su - user then echo $PATH | 22:36 |
| funkycat90210 | shouldnt they be the same? | 22:36 |
| dean | if it is intrepid, linux-backports-modules intrepid generic has ath5k which is atheros | 22:36 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: I've followed two tutorials, one involving some backports. | 22:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | dean: problem is, if he's updated, it won't work. | 22:36 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: And I've installed some ndiswrapper as well, using the Windows drivers. | 22:36 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: By now my computer should be a spaghetti mess of drivers, heh. | 22:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: if you had updated before you installed the backports, thats probably why it didn' twork | 22:37 |
| JEEBcz | Hey, has anyone gotten the latest svn of irssi to build on Ubuntu 8.10? | 22:37 |
| dean | ath5k drivers are included in jaunty | 22:37 |
| Stalker72 | My router automatically assigns an IP address to Ubuntu, but not to XP (pirated). What could be the problem? | 22:37 |
| n8tuserf | funkycat90210 -> compare the env command | 22:37 |
| Jackalope85 | Is there a sure combination of drivers/etc that will run the factory wireless card in a Dell Inspiron 8500? I'm using Intrepid, btw. | 22:37 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: Uh... Dammit. | 22:37 |
| ScottG489 | Well when I check sessions the command that starts the window manager is gnome-wm but that doesnt tell me much. right now my main wm is compiz | 22:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | dean: which doesn't help much w/ intrepid | 22:37 |
| dean | jaunty is in alpha though | 22:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: when did you install? | 22:37 |
| kamilkalahurski | I don't have any sound on Ubuntu 8.10 although I once had | 22:37 |
| n8tuserf | Stalker72 -> pirates does not deserve ip addresses :P | 22:37 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: The dist? Some 2-3 hours ago. | 22:37 |
| Stalker72 | n8tuserf: lol | 22:38 |
| funkycat90210 | n8tuserf: will do, note that i set the path in /etc/bash_completion.d/vars which is used for suing into the user but not via the cmd, doing diff of env | 22:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: if it were me, i'd just reinstall... you're n ot that far into it, and reinstall, and before updating,f ollow the instructions you followed for installing the backports | 22:38 |
| kamilkalahurski | Could anyone help me (no sound)? | 22:38 |
| crdlb | ScottG489: /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager in gconf | 22:38 |
| n8tuserf | Stalker72 -> it should be easy though to make it work, make sure you have good cables | 22:39 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Family, ...254 is the highest addressable IP in the subnet. It's the default default route (that's not a typo). | 22:39 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: Are there some new updates that screw up the system...? Sounds... precarious updating. =/ | 22:39 |
| Stalker72 | n8tuserf: Shall I try another cable? | 22:39 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Family, most routers are ignorant of this and use ...1 as their address. If you have ...254 I'm wondering if your network is properly set up. | 22:39 |
| n8tuserf | Stalker72 -> yes, maybe you have a loose one, make sure they fit snugly | 22:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: no.. i'm really not sure why it causes the problem.. but if you install the backport modules first, then update, it goes fine (at least it has on all 3 fo my laptops that have that device) | 22:40 |
| Stalker72 | n8tuserf: But Ubuntu, on the SAME PC, gets an IP address instantly.. | 22:40 |
| Stalker72 | n8tuserf: I've had an Internet connection on my XP before last week. | 22:40 |
| n8tuserf | Stalker72 -> perhaps you can tell us what is your network layout like, describe in details what is connected to what? what devices are there? | 22:40 |
| gilda | there was the minor issue with ibex64 bit and flash/ wine not sure if thats still affecting sound | 22:40 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: Hah, that's really strange. Oh well, guess I'll just have to try that. First install, then backports modules, and then update. Got it. Thanks for the help, but I think I'll try that tomorrow. | 22:40 |
| dean | is there a windows version of the open source dhclient | 22:41 |
| Family | sprinkmeier_>the network is already up and running, im just trying to connect to it. I get internet from the landlord next door and the windows machine (this that im on) works ok. sorry for any miscommunication | 22:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: hang on, i'll get you the instructions... | 22:41 |
| fidelitysystem | whats the name of the channel network :? | 22:41 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: What instructions...? | 22:41 |
| crdlb | fidelitysystem: freenode? | 22:41 |
| Stalker72 | n8tuserf: http://games.dlink.com/products/?pid=643&#DGL-4500 .. that is my router | 22:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: oh thats right, you already have installed from the backporst, never mind | 22:41 |
| dean | fidelitysystem: irc.freenode.net channel #ubuntu | 22:41 |
| fidelitysystem | mm i dont know something ##network | 22:41 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: Got them from http://unsharptech.com/2008/10/31/atheros-wireless-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex/ | 22:41 |
| fidelitysystem | i dont know | 22:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: the instructions you followed, they mentioned disabling the restricted driver, etc | 22:42 |
| Stalker72 | n8tuserf: One other PC is connected to the router. Internet works on it. | 22:42 |
| crdlb | fidelitysystem: oh, ##networking | 22:42 |
| n8tuserf | Stalker that dont describe your network layout.. please clarify | 22:42 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Family, Can you compare network settings between windows and ubuntu machine? (same DNS, same router, same subnet...) | 22:42 |
| Family | sprinkmeier_>when i do ipconfig /all in xp i get that gateway ip so i put it in | 22:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: yeah, those are right, follow those instructions | 22:42 |
| awell | What is a good ftp server to use with my ubuntu server? | 22:42 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: Ok. A new day, a new attempt at Ubuntu! Thanks. =) | 22:42 |
| CentHOGG | hi I've just installed XFCE on a PPC and everything is ok. The only thing is that the menus are very fast. What I mean is this. For example If I pop up the mouse-finder menu and look at what my options there are, the menu will close within 4 secs (too quick). Is there a way to set this longer or turn off the menu reset entirely? thx | 22:43 |
| n8tuserf | Stalker72 -> ubuntu host attached to such router via ethernet works okay? | 22:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | gablin: np. like i said, as long as you do that before updating, and you're using 32bit, you shoudl be fine.. i've never had a prob w/ it | 22:43 |
| n8tuserf | awell -> proftpd | 22:43 |
| Stalker72 | n8tuserf: Ubuntu's internet works OK. Not XP's internet. | 22:43 |
| awell | Does proftp work with ebox? | 22:43 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Family, So ubuntu didn't auto-configure (using DHCP orr the gateway, which I assumeis how Windows did it)? | 22:43 |
| sprinkmeier_ | s/orr/off/ | 22:43 |
| gilda | Family~ can you ping your gateway ? | 22:43 |
| Stalker72 | n8tuserf: The router doesn't assign XP an IP address, only Ubuntu. | 22:43 |
| gablin | IndyGunFreak: Let us hope so. This is my third attempt at Linux. I'm hoping this one will last. | 22:44 |
| Jackalope85 | Was intrepid a mistake for running an older broadcom wireless card? | 22:44 |
| Family | <sprinkmeier_>cant ping the gateway | 22:44 |
| n8tuserf | Stalker72 -> well you can check temporarily, borrow same ethernet cable from ubuntu and plug it in to the XP hosts and see if it works | 22:44 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Stalker72, I've said that for years... | 22:44 |
| n8tuserf | Jackalope85 -> broadcom chips are well known to make you loose hair when using with linux.. | 22:44 |
| Stalker72 | n8tuserf: I dualboot XP and Ubuntu. I'm talking about the same PC. | 22:45 |
| brunner | is there an application I can use to detect a certain frequency or a modem carrier in a wave file? | 22:45 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Family, sounds like problem is lower down, i.e. not even connecting at layer 1/2. | 22:45 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Family, WPA? WEP? WPA2? | 22:45 |
| Accesshater | Can sombody help me with nvidia drivers? I have a nvidia 8600M GT, and my xorg.conf is broken. I tried to run sudo nvidia-xconfig a couple of times but it didnt help. I also tried to run xfix in recovry mode. The problem occurs if i try to install the 177 driver. I should never have tried the driverfrom the nvidia site =(. | 22:45 |
| Jackalope85 | N8tuserf - the laptop is a Dell I8500. I don't think I can just rip the card out. Am I going to be stuck trying to get/use an external card? | 22:45 |
| CentHOGG | xfce anyone? | 22:45 |
| n8tuserf | Stalker72 -> you do know this is ubuntu help channel, for windows you really need to visit #windows..but, anyhow it should be just plug n play, check your xp settings | 22:45 |
| dean | Xp doesn't support WPA2 | 22:46 |

| Accesshater | voor wpa in xp you could install securew2 | 22:46 |
| Family | <sprinkmeier_>thats where im clueless. xp has WPA-PSK whats the equivalent for ubuntu? | 22:46 |
| Accesshater | wpa2* | 22:46 |
| Jackalope85 | N8tuserf - besides, the laptop is 5 years old. BTW - I checked out the link. They don't appear to have the solution. | 22:46 |
| n8tuserf | dean depends on the driver you use with your wifi... therefore all wireless is driver dependent | 22:47 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Family, WPA PSK is "pre-shared key", that's problaby the mode you should be using. | 22:47 |
| n8tuserf | Jackalope85 -> you can try to use ndiswrapper | 22:47 |
| === FragalotIsGay is now known as KryzlerIsGay | ||
| sprinkmeier_ | Family, Ubuntu should automagically pop up a dialog asking you for the "PSK". Unless it does that there's no point going further. | 22:47 |
| Jackalope85 | N8tuserf - I've been reading documentation like that all day. Hasn't helped at all. I tried using NDSwrapper, but maybe the driver I used was junk. I'll try another one. | 22:48 |

| Plugh | I finally figured out how to get Ubuntu 6.06 booting reliably with my new computer. The auto notification thing is telling me that 8.0.4.1 is available. How safe is it for me to jump from 6.06 to 8.04.1? | 22:49 |
| === shaman is now known as Guest28391 | ||
| Family | <sprinkmeier_>i see the network its name etc at 54% its just the choice of wep hexadecimal etc that makes me clueless | 22:49 |
| Jackalope85 | N8tuserf - I am starting to realize that. I should have known, but I bought it 5+ years ago. | 22:49 |
| dean | Plugh: should be safe | 22:49 |
| Plugh | I can (and will) backup the 6.06 partition before attempting the update. Last time I tried it, it didn't go so well but I had to do part of it manually. | 22:49 |
| Plugh | dean, ok thanks. | 22:49 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Plugh, a lot safer than staying at 6.06 :-) try a live CD first to make sure HW is supported | 22:49 |
| Jackalope85 | N8tuserf - thanx. I guess I'll get out of your hair. | 22:50 |
| n8tuserf | Jackalope85 -> the only thing i can really suggest is keep working on that ndiswrapper | 22:50 |
| Plugh | sprinkmeier_: I have a partition with 8.04 and it boots. Due to how I managed to do the update from 6.06 the GUI is very unstable. With 6.06 booting properly, I'm hoping things will go more smoothly this time. | 22:50 |
| n8tuserf | Jackalope85 -> or get an external wifi card, pcmcia perhaps | 22:51 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Family, What happens iff you try to connect to the network? Do you get the WPA prompt? | 22:51 |
| xjunior | sprinkmeier_: | 22:51 |
| Family | <sprinkmeier_> ubuntu has WEP hexadecimal/WEP ascii/WPA personal/WPA2 personal | 22:51 |
| n8tuserf | Plugh -> may i suggest doing a fresh install instead of upgrade, many people experience issues with upgrading | 22:51 |
| sprinkmeier_ | WEP is worthless, and you're not using it anyway. Try WPA personal, it's what Windows seeks to be using (WPA-PSK). WPA2 is better but not always supported. | 22:52 |

| Dante123 | hey all, I am on a dell inspiron 1300 and when I ran hardware drivers from livecd it detected the broadcomm 43 wireless driver- now after I installed ubuntu- it doesn't detect it anymore and wireless is no go although it shows up under iwconfig | 22:54 |
| Dante123 | Any suggestions? | 22:55 |
| sprinkmeier_ | xjunior, at first glance looks like the grub config file is either missing or pointing at something that's missing. HDD's should be identified by UUID (univerally unique ID), so removing an unused HDD shouldn't matter. If you're addressing by /dev/sd??? then you might have to rewrite the grub config file. | 22:55 |
| Dante123 | Could the driver be blacklisted?? | 22:55 |
| imaginativeone | is this what I want to do with freenas? | 22:56 |
| imaginativeone | - put it on its own headless box | 22:56 |
| imaginativeone | - use ANOTHER box for ubuntu | 22:56 |
| imaginativeone | - use the ubuntu box for CD/peripherals/etc | 22:56 |
| imaginativeone | - use the hard drive box for storage? | 22:57 |
| simplex | yes | 22:57 |
| FarmCretin | hey all, will it damage my system if i put my HDD into my new computer? or do i have to reinstall the OS? | 22:57 |
| Plugh | n8tuserf: I can't do a fresh install. It wants to write to my partition table. It shouldn't need to do that. I don't want to risk it messing up my 11 partitions. | 22:57 |
| simplex | depends | 22:57 |
| n8tuserf | Dante123 -> while in livecd do you recall the name of that driver? maybe you need to boot back tolivecd and see what it is and where within /lib/modules/`uname r`/ its located? | 22:57 |
| ScottG489 | crdlb: Thanks. Sorry for the slow response im at work | 22:57 |
| Izinucs | FarmCretin: go for it | 22:57 |
| ScottG489 | crdlb: The windowmanager is metacity | 22:58 |
| Dante123 | is is broadcomm bw43fwcutter or something like that | 22:58 |
| ktebit | ubuntu's website still has intrepid listed | 22:58 |
| ktebit | where the heck is the new one | 22:58 |
| ScottG489 | crdlb: Where does conky override it? | 22:58 |
| ktebit | t hasn't been any where close to 6 months | 22:58 |
| FarmCretin | Izinucs: does that mean you know it wont hurt, or go for it an see what happens? | 22:58 |
| simplex | farmcretin: yeah. It shouldnt hurt the os but, it probably wont work | 22:58 |
| sprinkmeier_ | FarmCretin, BACKUP!! | 22:58 |
| simplex | farmcretin: Live dangerously! Dont backup | 22:58 |
| n8tuserf | Plugh -> depends on how you are doing the install, you have a choice to manually select the destination partition for install | 22:58 |
| imaginativeone | ktebit: why would ubuntu's web site have intrepid listed? | 22:58 |
| ktebit | ubuntu's website still has intrepid listed | 22:58 |
| crdlb | ScottG489: conky doesn't override anything | 22:59 |
| ktebit | because its the case? | 22:59 |
| imaginativeone | ktebit: why wouldn't ubuntu's web site have intrepid listed? | 22:59 |
| Dante123 | n8tuserf s is broadcomm bw43fwcutter or something like that | 22:59 |
| ktebit | where the heck is the new one | 22:59 |
| ktebit | ? | 22:59 |
| FarmCretin | its all backed up. im not worried about losing the data, its that my build doesnt have integrated or card graphics and i dont want to buy a new one for a server.... | 22:59 |
| simplex | Do games played in wine have lower performance? | 22:59 |
| Plugh | n8tuserf: I do manual partitioning, tell it what to use for root and boot and it still always says at the end that it will be updating the partition table. Even though I just told it to use existing partitions. | 22:59 |
| Dante123 | n8tuserf could it be blacklisted | 22:59 |
| savvas | FarmCretin: I would try and run it, the only problem I can think of when I upgraded from amd K7 32-bit motherboard to intel 64-bit dual core was a problem with the nvidia graphics driver, which was fixed with an upgrade of the package :) | 22:59 |
| n8tuserf | Dante123 -> now see if that exist on the new install you have | 23:00 |

| satch5150 | hi all, Im back again :) | 23:05 |
| n8tuserf | Plugh -> you're referring to the grub writing to mbr, you dont have to install grub if you want to use the existing one | 23:05 |
| n8tuserf | Dante123 -> look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/ | 23:05 |
| n8tuserf | Dante123 -> or look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/ | 23:05 |
| n8tuserf | Dante123 -> i lost my link..what was the question? | 23:06 |
| Plugh | n8tuserf: I told it not to install grub. It still wants to update the partition table. | 23:06 |
| mcphail | hanasaki: they are kept back if they need to pull in new packages with the upgrade | 23:06 |
| Frenchie | I have automatic updates turned on both for download and install is there a way to see the recent updates that have been installed on my system? | 23:07 |
| n8tuserf | Plugh -> i dont know, definitely your /etc/fstab have to be updated | 23:07 |
| satch5150 | upgraded from 7.04 -> 7.10 finally, then started to upgrade to 8.04 - everything was going great until half thru the installation of the new packages, got some erros abotu apparmor, mysqld wouldn't restart, then it said upgrades couldn't be installed | 23:07 |

| satch5150 | no the question is | 23:07 |
| satch5150 | what didn't get upgraded | 23:07 |
| satch5150 | and how bad will it be when the system restarts as is :) | 23:08 |
| n8tuserf | Dante123 -> you are looking at the source directory, not whats in your current modules path | 23:08 |
| Plugh | oh, well. dinner is ready. backups and update attempt will have to wait. | 23:08 |
| Droopsta915 | How do I overwrite a dvd rw, or what program can I use to do so? | 23:08 |
| satch5150 | I ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and it only upgraded one package | 23:08 |
| satch5150 | so, what do I do now ? :) | 23:09 |
| dustin | how can i open/run a .run file with synaptic package manager to install/run it? | 23:09 |
| Dante123 | n8tuserf i do not see it in either place you mentioned | 23:09 |
| n8tuserf | Dante123 -> then it is not even loaded at boot then.. | 23:10 |
| satch5150 | anyone ? | 23:10 |
| mcphail | dustin: ".run" files will not be handled by the package manager | 23:10 |
| dustin | heh, trying to google problems and thats the only lead i got.. how can i run it? D: | 23:10 |
| mcphail | dustin: first, do you trust it? | 23:11 |
| dustin | yea | 23:11 |
| Dante123 | n8tuserf well, I try going back into restricted drivers and it says there are none on my system (so there is no place to enable the broadcom driver) however under livecd it did detect it | 23:11 |
| mcphail | dustin: it will probably be a shell script. Open a terminal and type "chmod +x file.run" | 23:11 |
| * satch5150 is desperate and will consider any suggestions, no matter how insane | 23:11 | |
| mcphail | dustin: then run it with "./file.run" | 23:12 |
| npodges | where is Trash:/// actually located? | 23:12 |
| Dante123 | n8tuserf maybe I will try reinstalling.... | 23:12 |
| n8tuserf | Dante123 -> to enable the modules, it needs to be in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/ | 23:12 |
| n8tuserf | so copy it over | 23:12 |
| sprinkmeier_ | npodges, .Trash | 23:12 |
| jjlee | satch5150: what are you trying to do? | 23:13 |
| ubuntu_ | when i install ubuntu, how can i install grub to a seperate 50 mb partition? | 23:13 |
| npodges | on 9.04 alpha? because .Trash doesnt exist. | 23:13 |
| mcphail | dustin: if it complain about needing root priveleges, use "sudo ./file.run" | 23:13 |
| satch5150 | upgrade from 7.10 server -> 8.04 | 23:13 |
| satch5150 | went well until I got installation errors with apparomor and mysqld | 23:13 |
| dustin | mcphail: its running now, ty :) | 23:13 |
| satch5150 | then it said upgrades couldn't be installed | 23:14 |
| satch5150 | and halted | 23:14 |
| mcphail | dustin: np | 23:14 |
| crdlb | npodges: at some point it moved to ~/.local/share/Trash | 23:14 |
| satch5150 | was using do-upgrade-release btw | 23:14 |
| dustin | < newb to linux, learning :) | 23:14 |
| npodges | thanks! | 23:14 |
| * satch5150 even tried killing himself, but the gun jammed :( | 23:15 | |

| jjlee | satch5150: could try uninstalling all multiverse packages then running apt-get dist-upgrade | 23:16 |
| ScottG489 | im working with both right now lol. so if i never say conky i meant compiz | 23:16 |
| jjlee | satch5150: since you asked for random suggestions. Don't assume I know what I'm talking about, though :-) | 23:16 |
| sprinkmeier_ | ubuntu_, choose 'manually setup partitions" and create a "/boot" partition. Use more than 100MB, the partition has to hold all the Linux kernels and disk space is cheap. | 23:16 |
| satch5150 | lol | 23:17 |
| satch5150 | my next question, how would I do that ? :) | 23:17 |
| crdlb | ScottG489: if compiz is starting, there must be some autostart entry doing it | 23:17 |
| ScottG489 | crdlb: Yea. I think I need to stop metacity from starting and then start compiz. and then tell all my programs that run on start to wait like 10-15 secs to wait for compiz and then start | 23:18 |
| ubuntu_ | sprinkmeier_: is it fine if i just used 100 mb for /boot partition | 23:18 |
| ScottG489 | crdlb: compiz handels their placement and they get placed weird on startup probably because compiz hasnt started yet | 23:18 |
| greatbitbucket | Hello everyone! | 23:18 |
| crdlb | ScottG489: as a workaround, you can just make them sleep beforehand, I guess | 23:19 |

| ubuntu_ | Louis: add entries to /etc/fstab | 23:21 |
| satch5150 | that way I could just do a full installation of intrepid and be done with it | 23:21 |
| ubuntu_ | i think | 23:21 |
| Louis | ubuntu_: which entries do i add? | 23:21 |
| sprinkmeier_ | ubuntu_, should be fine unless you go on a kernel shopping spree :-) my point is that at less than1c/MB you might as well be generous | 23:21 |
| ubuntu_ | erm, find a guide how to edit /etc/fstab | 23:21 |

| sprinkmeier_ | Louis, it's a command. /forcefsck is a flag file checked in ec.local, it forces a checkdisk on boot. | 23:23 |
| Louis | sprinkmeier_: Okay thanks. And it makes the change permanent, right? | 23:23 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks sprinkmeier_ | 23:24 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Louis, No. /forcefsck is removed when boot finishes. You could add the 'touch' line to /etc/rc.local. Why check every time? | 23:24 |
| ubuntu_ | i'm redoing all my partitions to be more organized as in seperate boot loader, seperate home folder, etc. | 23:24 |
| fidelitysystem_ | how can i install pico ?? | 23:24 |
| Louis | sprinkmeier_: it's a server with an average uptime of a few weeks, so i figured it wouldn't hurt | 23:25 |
| usser | fidelitysystem_, pico is proprietary use nano | 23:25 |
| oskar- | Louis, shutdown -F may be also interesting, if you also work with other distributions | 23:25 |
| usser | fidelitysystem_, and it should be included by default | 23:25 |
| sprinkmeier_ | Louis, Fair enough..... I thought it might be dodgy HW, in which case I'd recommend getting new disks and saving yourself the hearache. | 23:25 |
