| jgood | ZykoticK9, nope no line moving, no it beeps when i use the arrows, let me try real fast | 00:02 |
| RPS | Hello Guys, I have a file I need to open and amend, but it will have to be opened in a terminal window. Can someone help me get it open? the path to the file is /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh | 00:03 |
| indro | ActionParsnip: yeah but that can take long | 00:03 |
| indro | look at ut3 still no linux client | 00:03 |
| jgood | ZykoticK9, same thing, nothing... | 00:03 |
| RPS | I need to be at root to get it open ...so sudo -s ...is that right? | 00:03 |
| BrixSat | hello | 00:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | RPS, CAREFUL!!! "sudo nano /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh" | 00:03 |
| austin | I have a ubuntu server hooked up to my network with apache2 installed and runnign, and some files on my machine, in my user/name/ and woud liek to get these files to display in a browser from my server | 00:03 |
| indro | would be nice if someone can get it work under wine | 00:03 |
| BrixSat | how can i play youtube on firefox using ubuntu 8.10? | 00:04 |
| Schwag | i got ut3 to work under wine | 00:04 |
| mezy | glitsj16: hey thanks, but i just found it, but now im disappointed at its capabilities. i thought i would be able to add in packages to it making it a 'customized' cd, but i can only change the language and some other small stuff | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | indro: it shouldnt be too long. i'd imagine they will use a linux installer like doom3 | 00:04 |
| rww | BrixSat: install the flashplugin-nonfree package | 00:04 |
| nightrid3r | RPS gksudo gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh | 00:04 |
| indro | BrixSat: install flashplayer | 00:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | jgood, sorry man, I got nothing! | 00:04 |
| jwaldo | For some reason, I can't get the installer to use my free space: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3547/3326358951_de20690052_b.jpg | 00:04 |
| Schwag | horribly but yeah | 00:04 |
| fosco_ | !flash | BrixSat | 00:04 |
| ubottu | BrixSat: 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 | 00:04 |
| BrixSat | apt-get install flashplayer | 00:04 |
| jgood | ZykoticK9, when i reformattted the windows to make room for linux i had to change my BIOS settings to disable my SATA drive before windows would work... would this be anything? | 00:04 |
| indro | ActionParsnip: they just need to port the dll to linux. | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | jwaldo: use manual then :) | 00:04 |
| jgood | it is still disabled, the same way i was able to install windows as | 00:05 |
| indro | the installer just unpacks the ddl | 00:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | jgood, i don't think so... | 00:05 |
| Schwag | im trying to use pppconfig for a phone as a modem, using lsusb reads my iden motorola modem, but i cant select it to use with pppconfig | 00:05 |
| BrixSat | firefox warns me of a missing plugin i have instaled it and still nothing | 00:05 |
| indro | the whole game is packaged in a ddl | 00:05 |
| Rolcol | Will Jaunty have the latest kernel? | 00:05 |
| jgood | k, just throwing it out there, i doubted it had anything but i don't know so better safe then stupid | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: are you 64bit or 32bit ubuntu? | 00:05 |
| BrixSat | 32 | 00:05 |
| doumo | I'm trying to get a new X running so I can run wine on it. But I get a weird error message when opening a new X. Any clues on how to fix this? http://pastebin.com/d311f15d | 00:05 |
| indro | i can get into the game with wine + firefox but when the game starts it crashes. :/ | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Rolcol: yes | 00:05 |
| jwaldo | ActionParsnip: I hadn't tried manual yet. Much of what I've read suggested not to | 00:05 |
| austin | can anyone help me at all with my problem, that i just stated above | 00:05 |
| BrixSat | Ac | 00:06 |
| Rolcol | ActionParsnip: Sweet. Thanks. | 00:06 |
| austin | >I have a ubuntu server hooked up to my network with apache2 installed and runnign, and some files on my machine, in my user/name/ and woud liek to get these files to display in a browser from my server | 00:06 |
| fosco_ | Rolcol: jaunty will go with 2.6.28 (not the very last one) | 00:06 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: im 32 bits ubuntu 8.1 | 00:06 |
| nightrid3r | austin put the files in /home/$username/public_html | 00:06 |
| indro | humm i try now wine + ie7 maybe that works... | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | indro: its a bit weird ive heard, check the appdb | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | indro: IE7 in Wine what why? | 00:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | indro, i don't think anyone has figured out a working Linux Quake Live yet - hopefully you will. | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | indro: you could run virtualbox in seamless mode | 00:07 |
| Rolcol | fosco_: what is the latest stable? I don't pay much attention because I don't have to compile my kernel =\ | 00:07 |
| hmw | indro: check out "winetricks" | 00:07 |
| jgood | ZykoticK9, playing around with the other options, nothing works for any of the options, i can select language, i can hit my F keys, i can arrow up and down, but it doesn't select an option | 00:07 |
| BrixSat | done | 00:07 |
| BrixSat | it had installed nothing | 00:07 |
| mib_5b5go4 | i need some help with getting my ethernet/wireless card working i posted on the fourms here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1085389 but didnt receve much help any one have any ideas | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: close all firefoxes and then rerun it | 00:07 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: it installed nothing :S | 00:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | jgood, have a different keyboard you could try??? | 00:07 |
| austin | nightrid3r: ok i have it all in there already | 00:07 |
| fosco_ | Rolcol: now 2.6.28 is the last, but mostly sure there will be a 2.6.29 version when jaunty comes | 00:08 |
| melik | what would you guys recommend banshee or rhythmbox? | 00:08 |
| Schwag | im trying to use pppconfig for a phone as a modem, using lsusb reads my iden motorola modem, but i cant select it to use with pppconfig | 00:08 |
| silversurfer | Is Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition CD a good Live CD method to recover a crashed system? | 00:08 |
| Rolcol | fosco_: but due to feature freeze... too late. Alright. Thanks for your answer. | 00:08 |
| BrixSat | firefox breaks downs when i click on a youtube movie | 00:08 |
| hmw | silversurfer: sure. | 00:08 |
| indro | hmw: okay, will do. ;) | 00:08 |
| nightrid3r | austin enable mod_userdir in apache and restart apache | 00:08 |
| indro | can i install ie with that? | 00:08 |
| jgood | ZykoticK9, yea, but i doubt thats it because it lets me select my language, and every key works in windows, and all the ones i hit in there (enter, arrows, f keys, ect) | 00:08 |
| indro | @ hmw | 00:09 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: if i click on a youtube.com movie firefox closes down | 00:09 |
| nightrid3r | austin then http://localhost/~$username will show the files | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: whats the output of: file /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so | 00:09 |
| kopolee11 | hello. i reinstalled my computer, and was wondering how i could make my home partition become my home directory. because now i simply have a new home directory, which has none of my original settings or files. thanks | 00:09 |
| indro | hmw: winetricks done. what now? | 00:09 |
| austin | nightrid3r: hwo do i enable and restart? i'm sort of a newbie at all this command line stuff | 00:09 |
| hmw | indro: i remember seing a similar option in winetricks, but I am not completly certain about IE. It installs certain apps, that wouldnt install in wine. | 00:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | jgood, have you tried BOTH Enter keys? you not trying to use the one on the numpad are you | 00:09 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: what should i do with that? | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | !home | 00:09 |
| ubottu | Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: its a terminal command | 00:09 |
| jgood | ZykoticK9, laptop, no numpad | 00:09 |
| mp3guy | hi,after fsck ran last I got a load of inode errors, and now some of my files are missing and I've a load of numbered files in the lost+found folder of the partition (ext3) how do I find out what their original filenames were and restore them to their original locations? | 00:09 |
| puff | Crap, still can't find the brasero lock file. Hm. | 00:09 |
| indro | hmw: i installed it, how i can use it now? | 00:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | jgood, what model? | 00:10 |
| doumo | I'm trying to get a new X running so I can run wine on it. But I get a weird error message when opening a new X. Any clues on how to fix this? http://pastebin.com/d311f15d | 00:10 |
| hmw | indro: run it from the terminal | 00:10 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: bla bla bla bla (No such file or directory) | 00:10 |
| indro | i did wsh winetricks corefonts vcrun6 | 00:10 |
| nightrid3r | austin not sure, ubuntu apache conf is different from the centos conf i use, maybe google for it | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: ok | 00:10 |
| jgood | ZykoticK9, hp pavillion 5000 series more specifically 5218nr | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: ok we need to find the .so file | 00:10 |
| BrixSat | ok | 00:10 |
| BrixSat | how? updatedb? | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: we'll go full force | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: sudo find / -name *.so | grep libflasplayer | 00:11 |
| BrixSat | what do you mean full force? | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: that command will scan the whole / partition | 00:11 |
| jwaldo | ActionParsnip: Selecting "Manual" gets me a chart exactly like this one: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3614/3327188278_4c537a4d9f_b.jpg Does the option to adjust that happen after I click Next, or am I still stuck with wiping the drive? | 00:11 |
| austin | nightrid3r: alright got it, | 00:11 |
| nickrud_ | austin, sudo a2enmod userdir , then sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jwaldo: no, use full manual | 00:12 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: finished and nothing came up! | 00:12 |
| carbine | Can someone help me out installing a webcam? | 00:12 |
| kopolee11 | thanks ubottu, but i already had a home partition set up when i did the reinstallation. it seems that the guide you gave was for if you didn't have a home partition already set up. is there anyway, i can make my home partition become my home directory. | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: oh, ok weird | 00:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | jgood, did a quick seach, didn't find anything - it seems like the Enter key isn't working for whatever reason, you might try plugging in a usb keyboard if you got one -- other then that I have NO idea... sorry man | 00:12 |
| nickrud_ | austin, perty sure it's userdir, /etc/apache2/mods-available list all the mods you can check there for it | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree | 00:13 |
| jgood | ZykoticK9, well it works, because i hit enter to select my language, thanks for the help, i'll try playing with it some more see if i can't find anything out | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | jwaldo: use manual partitioning and you can use the unallocated space to make (at least) / and /swap | 00:13 |
| mp3guy | hi,after fsck ran last I got a load of inode errors, and now some of my files are missing and I've a load of numbered files in the lost+found folder of the partition (ext3) how do I find out what their original filenames were and restore them to their original locations? | 00:13 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: instaling :D | 00:13 |
| mezy | glitsj16: nevermind about the capabilities, i just didn't finish using it all the way. the reason was because it think it wouldn't because i am using a live cd. | 00:13 |
| nickrud_ | kopolee11, set up the partition you were using as home in /etc/fstab as mounted on /home | 00:13 |
| carbine | I tried using http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3706711&postcount=9 and I ended up getting this while trying to run make: http://pastie.org/406627 | 00:13 |
| austin | nightrid3r: alright its all done, but still wont' display...keeps givign me a NOT FOUND | 00:13 |
| jwaldo | ActionParsnip: I did check the Manual bubble, but the result was the same as the "Guided- use largest free space" | 00:14 |
| marine1 | new message printer may not be connected already did the hplip update and message stays the same need help after google search. | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | !webcam | carbine | 00:14 |
| ubottu | carbine: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: ok then close all firefoxes and try: http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 | 00:14 |
| jwaldo | Unless there's another sort of 'manual' I'm missing | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | jwaldo: thats fine if the unpartitioned space is what you wish to use | 00:14 |
| carbine | I went through that already. Checked the sony section for the eyetoy and it takes me through the same process. | 00:14 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: still closing down firefox | 00:14 |
| nightrid3r | austin do you "own" the files | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | jwaldo: if you want full control use manual again and you can create partitions as you like | 00:14 |
| kopolee11 | ok, thank you nickrud_ | 00:15 |
| austin | nightrid3r: I'm the only use, and the admin, so yes | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: make sure they are all dead with: ps -ef | grep firef | 00:15 |
| jgood | ZykoticK9, at least now i know that it isn't me just being stupid... i always fear that | 00:15 |
| nickrud_ | kopolee11, if that doesn't make clear sense, just say so | 00:15 |
| DowopDiDo | Is there a way to resize my ubuntu partition and then install another os on the space thats freed without deleating everything on my ubuntu? | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: you should only see the grep command output | 00:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | jgood, :) | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | carbine: got a program such as AMSN to test your web cam in? so yeah any program where webcams should work | 00:15 |
| marine1 | new message: printer may not be connected already did the hplip update and message stays the same need help after google search. | 00:15 |
| yubuntu | could anyone tell me how to terminate a full-screen application | 00:15 |
| carbine | Tried Skype, doesn't detect it. | 00:15 |
| nightrid3r | austin chmod -R 755 /home/$username/public_html | 00:15 |
| carbine | But I can't even install it. | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | yubuntu: full screen the whole screen? | 00:15 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: only this root 9173 8591 0 00:15 pts/0 00:00:00 grep firef | 00:15 |
| carbine | I get an error while trying to install | 00:15 |
| mezy | is there and way to make a custom ubuntu with a live cd? | 00:15 |
| yubuntu | sebsebseb, yes | 00:16 |
| nickrud_ | yubuntu, alt-f2 xkill , click on screen | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: what is the output of: echo $USER | 00:16 |
| BrixSat | root | 00:16 |
| yubuntu | nickrud, which button is "xkill" ? | 00:16 |
| darko956 | can someone help me with getting my wireless card to work? | 00:16 |
| carbine | sebsebsesb: Here's the my problem: http://pastie.org/406627 | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: are you logged on as root? | 00:16 |
| BrixSat | yes | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | mezy: there is I guess, but with the alternate CD you get more control about what to install. oh and there's ubuntu minimal | 00:16 |
| nickrud_ | yubuntu, you type xkill , it will change the mouse pointer shape | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | !minimal | 00:16 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: why? | 00:16 |
| austin | nightrid3r: still not showing...i ran it | 00:17 |
| yubuntu | thanks | 00:17 |
| jwaldo | ActionParsnip: Does the bar only represent the free space, then? I was assuming it showed the whole drive | 00:17 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: im loged in as root in the shell and a regular user in the graphical system | 00:17 |
| kopolee11 | nickrud_, i'm checking out my fstab file, and i'll admit, i'm not exactly sure what i need to add. if you could please clarify that would be very helpful. | 00:17 |
| marine1 | new message printer may not be connected already did the hplip update and message stays the same need help after google search. | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | !printer | 00:17 |
| nightrid3r | austin is apache2 user a member of your group? | 00:17 |
| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: good. i hate idiot logging into x as root | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | jwaldo: read the screen, the white bit is unallocated | 00:17 |
| austin | nightrid3r: i don't know? | 00:17 |
| jgood | Anybody else here willing to take up my install problems? short summary: i go to install ubuntu on a new partition of my hard drive, i press enter on install ubuntu, nothing happens... the cd kinda starts to rev up the doesn't do anything, afterwards not able to select anything else, so it selectd it just won't go | 00:18 |
| doumo | I'm trying to get a new X running so I can run wine on it. But I get a weird error message when opening a new X. Any clues on how to fix this? http://pastebin.com/d311f15d | 00:18 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: so now what? | 00:18 |
| nickrud_ | !fstab | kopolee11 there's some decent advice here; essentially you'll be adding a line similar to the one that mounts the / partition | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: ok then run firefox in the gui and it should work | 00:18 |
| ubottu | kopolee11 there's some decent advice here; essentially you'll be adding a line similar to the one that mounts the / partition: 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 | 00:18 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: no it works not :S | 00:18 |
| Joker_-_ | I unplugged a drive, booted it in an other machine to try (didnt worked, saying UUID was invalid), plugged it back in the original machine and it still says the uuid is invalid (wont boot), what the? | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | jgood: ok bad CD? did you md5sum check it before burning? Is the CD scratched? maybe your CD drive can gone bad even | 00:19 |
| kopolee11 | thank you both nickrud_ and ubottu! I'll see if it works | 00:19 |
| nightrid3r | austin man ls, there you can find how to show owner and group | 00:19 |
| jgood | sebsebseb, did md5 check, nope, and if the CD drive was bad would it still load up the ubuntu screen? | 00:19 |
| Joker_-_ | it simply drops me to the basic shell... | 00:19 |
| MalbeC | hi!! | 00:19 |
| jwaldo | ActionParsnip: There are also a Windows partition and a couple other small ones. I was assuming they were the blue and orange segments | 00:19 |
| mezy | sebsebseb: i dont want to waste another cd. im using a usb to run live. | 00:19 |
| nickrud_ | austin, not to butt in but I'm pretty familiar with this part of ubuntu's apache config. you have your files in ~/public_html and you're looking at localhost/~username with the browser, right? | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | jgood: if you still got the ISO you could md5sum | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: ok try this: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree | 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | 00:20 |
| ubottu | To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 00:20 |
| austin | nickrud_that is correct | 00:20 |
| Apolo | join ubuntu-br | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: then open firefox as a user and go to: http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 | 00:20 |
| nickrud_ | austin, did you do any steps that modified apache's config that enabled user directories? | 00:20 |
| jgood | sebsebseb, i just ran an md5 check like 5 minutes ago with zykotick9 helping me, it was what it should be according to him | 00:20 |
| DowopDiDo | How do I get into a file if it says I dont have the permition to? | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | jgood: ok | 00:21 |
| austin | nickrud_ well i was abel to go into it previosuly... | 00:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | doumo, for starters perhaps trying twinview and gaming is not the best option for right now, but your metamodes needs a comma between them "Option "MetaModes" "1680x1050, 1920,1080" | 00:21 |
| austin | nightrid3r: well what do I do when i get ut of it | 00:21 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: and now what? | 00:21 |
| austin | *in it | 00:21 |
| indro | hmw: hm still not working. :/ | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | jgood: other ways it can be installed | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | !install | 00:21 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: open firefox as a user and go to: http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 | 00:21 |
| sofakng | Can anybody please help me debug from my X applications freeze after resuming from standby and then go to 100% cpu usage? | 00:21 |
| nickrud_ | austin, you mean display them in the browser, when pointed at ~username? | 00:21 |
| sofakng | err from = why... | 00:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | sebsebseb, jgood gave me the md5 24EA1163EA6C9F5DAE77DE8C49EE7C03 for 8.10 desktop i386 | 00:21 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: yes im there | 00:21 |
| JosephLinkous | Question: During my Ubuntu installation, one of the advanced options was to not install a boot loader. Is there any reason why you wouldn't install it? I thought it was required | 00:22 |
| hmw | indro: there is an app database on the winehq web site. Maybe you find your program there, and if youre lucky, you might even find work arounds. | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: is it showing the anim / option to install flash? | 00:22 |
| jgood | sebsebseb, what do you mean other ways it can be installed? as in...? | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | ZykoticK9: well if it's the one it says on ubuntus site. releases.ubuntu.com then md5sum | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | jgood: as in the above | 00:22 |
| BrixSat | no | 00:22 |
| jgood | ok | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | jgood: other media you can install with | 00:22 |
| austin | nickrud_this is what i have in my URL bar : http://192.168.1.106/home/austin/public_html/home_template.html | 00:22 |
| austin | nickrud_, it works with and without the /home/ | 00:23 |
| nickrud_ | austin, change that to 192.168.1.106/~austin | 00:23 |
| sebsebseb | JosephLinkous: I think Ubuntu can be booted straight in like Windows, but then no recovery mode, and can't just change to a later kernel and things, as a result best to always put the bootloader on | 00:23 |
| JosephLinkous | Oh, Question #2: Is there a way to quick switch between the two desktops, like an alt-tab thing? | 00:23 |
| donkey | I need some HELP HELP...... Im trying to send some of my files to my portable hard drive and it says It cannot mount it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 00:23 |
| nightrid3r | http://192.168.1.106/~austin/home_template.html | 00:23 |
| austin | :O | 00:23 |
| nickrud_ | you should be fed the contents of /home/austin/public_html | 00:23 |
| doumo | ZykoticK9: Yea with twinview has broken some of my gamings. :-/ like starcraft. Did I input my keyboard,mouse and graphic card correctly for SClayout? | 00:23 |
| austin | nightrid3r, nickrud_ i got it!!!! :D | 00:23 |
| JosephLinkous | sebsebseb: Nice, thanks | 00:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | JosephLinkous, if you have compiz ctrl-alt- <left> <right> arrows | 00:24 |
| donkey | I need some HELP HELP...... Im trying to send some of my files to my portable hard drive and it says It cannot mount it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 00:24 |
| BrixSat | no animation :S | 00:24 |
| austin | Its only showing the code, but none the less i can view the files | 00:24 |
| JosephLinkous | ZykoticK9: Freakin sweet. Thanks | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | JosephLinkous: ok no problem | 00:24 |
| austin | now that i made it this far, how can i go about getting them online? | 00:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | doumo, I just had a quick look and noticed the comma thing, not sure about anything else? | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | donkey: does it show up in sudo fdisk -l | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | donkey: and kill the caps | 00:24 |
| RPS | nightrid3r, thanks for the command and thanks to ZykoticK9 for the warning | 00:24 |
| nickrud_ | austin, forward your port 80 through your router | 00:25 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: no animation :S | 00:25 |
| wolter_ | were can i see kernel panic logs? | 00:25 |
| sofakng | Can anybody please help me debug why my X applications freeze after resuming from standby and then go to 100% cpu usage? | 00:25 |
| Jufis | Little selection help would be appreciated :) Which one to choose? -> http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/1548/screenshotsoundpreferen.png | 00:25 |
| austin | nickrud_how do i do this? I have a linksys | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: the other way is to go to www.adobe.com download the tar.gz and put the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins | 00:25 |
| darko956 | can anyone help me get my wireless card working? | 00:25 |
| nickrud_ | wolter_, if they're enabled, /var/crash or the dir the app was running in | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | darko956: is it usb or pci? | 00:26 |
| austin | nickrud_: I'm in the rouder page....WRT54GL, i have it set up with a static IP | 00:26 |
| nickrud_ | austin, that I can't tell you, but I think portforwarding.org explains | 00:26 |
| darko956 | its pci | 00:26 |
| doumo | ZykoticK9: Like this? the xorg isn't something you want to have a typo on *Option "Meta,Modes" "1680x1050 1920x1080"* | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | darko956: run lspci it will identify the device and you can websearch that | 00:26 |
| servo888 | Anybody know how to start KDE4 without kdm? | 00:26 |
| Anacranom | darko956, and what chipset is it?, does it show in lspci or lshw -C network | 00:27 |
| nickrud_ | austin, portforward.com | 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | servo888: you can use GDM instead | 00:27 |
| austin | alright, i'll check it out.... nuckrud_ what do i do after i port foward? do i get a seperate address per file, and i get that on a place like godaddy for a domain? | 00:27 |
| darko956 | yeah ive tryed that ita an Atherous chipset | 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | !gdm | 00:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | servo888: use gmd / slim and select kde as your session | 00:27 |
| Anacranom | sorry ActionParsnip , didnt see you there in time ;-) | 00:27 |
| DowopDiDo | i have a big problem, I messed up my ubuntu instalation so now it wont boot, it will get past the loading screen then go black. Anyway, I want to reinstall ubuntu but I cant untill I get my files back. so here I am on a live cd trying to get my files, the only problem is, I think when I installed jaunty it incripted all my files or something because when I try to get into the home folder it says access denied or something. So How do | 00:27 |
| wolter_ | nickrud_, well, there is nothing at /var/crash , does that mean my system didn't kernel panic? | 00:27 |
| nightrid3r | austin is there a "nat/qos" page | 00:27 |
| wolter_ | it froze completely. | 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: slim????? | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: yes, slim | 00:28 |
| indro | servo888: startkde | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !info slim | 00:28 |
| ubottu | slim (source: slim): desktop-independent graphical login manager for X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.0-1 (intrepid), package size 449 kB, installed size 792 kB | 00:28 |
| austin | nightrid3r: ??? | 00:28 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: should i remove previous flash | 00:28 |
| hmw | what is an "invalid swap space"? (came up when installing uswsusp) | 00:28 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: ok I didn't know about slim | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: if you want | 00:28 |
| nickrud_ | wolter_, not sure where that would end up except there. Not even sure if the ubuntu kernel has kernel panic logging enabled by default | 00:28 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: how? | 00:28 |
| sebsebseb | servo888: I guess you just install gdm, and then choose it as your log in | 00:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | doumo, you might also want to change it too "1680x1050, 1920x1080; 1680x1050, NULL" which might help with your gaming - it will turn one monitor off if a game asks for 1680x1050... that helped me get Quake4 working with my Multi-monitor setup | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: there are many login managers, just like there are many desktop environments | 00:28 |
| servo888 | indro: ah ha, lol, there it is. | 00:28 |
| jwaldo | The more I look, the more it seems to be that the installer isn't recognizing the free space | 00:28 |
| darko956 | and wehn i do a lspci its an atherous communications inc unknown device | 00:28 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: oh ok well this is Linux :D | 00:28 |
| hmw | what is an "invalid swap space"? (came up when installing uswsusp) - My swap is active, and the partition is larger than my RAM. | 00:29 |
| nightrid3r | austin lemme check, you still have original firmware in linksys wrt54gl? | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: slim is the manager for low footprint distros | 00:29 |
| nickrud_ | austin, you probably have a dynamic ip address from your provider, you might want to use something like dyndns.org | 00:29 |
| [ifroog] | !find svn | 00:29 |
| ubottu | Found: libapache2-svn, libsvn-dev, libsvn-doc, libsvn-java, libsvn-perl (and 37 others) | 00:29 |
| doumo | ZykoticK9: thanks for the tip ill see if ti works | 00:29 |
| nickrud_ | austin, http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54GL/Apache.htm | 00:30 |
| austin | nightrid3r: yah, original firmware. | 00:30 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: how can i remove previous flash versions? | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | dpkg -l | grep flash | 00:30 |
| sebsebseb | BrixSat: depends how you installed them | 00:30 |
| nightrid3r | austin http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54GL/TalkSwitch.htm | 00:30 |
| BrixSat | i have installed whar ActionParsnip told me to! | 00:30 |
| nickrud_ | ha! faster :) | 00:30 |
| austin | nightrid3r: i went to there static IP address guide, and it didn't give me alnux option | 00:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | doumo, just noticed you put the comma between Meta & Modes, that's not right it's suppose to be between the numbers 1680x1050,1920x1080 | 00:30 |
| xtmnx | I tried to set secondary monitor resolution and position with grandr but it's telling me "User set screen size larger than max screen." Anyone have a clue what should be done? | 00:31 |
| puff | So, I'm tempted to run a little experiment here. | 00:31 |
| doumo | I think My xorg.conf is missed up. Can someone look at it and let me know? the SClayout I think has bad information for the keyboard,mouse and graphic card. http://pastebin.com/d311f15d | 00:31 |
| DowopDiDo | Agh, I need hel[ | 00:31 |
| DowopDiDo | p | 00:31 |
| nightrid3r | austin static ip is ONLY is your isp gives you a static ip | 00:31 |
| doumo | ZykoticK9: ahhh, I misunderstood you. | 00:31 |
| Jufis | Help with volume settings. I just uninstalled pulseaudio and now I can't hear anything from my speakers. | 00:31 |
| Anacranom | darko956, check your chipset compatibility here--> http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ | 00:31 |
| puff | I have this old box, no windows on it. | 00:31 |
| nightrid3r | austin for what you want to do you need to change dhcp server settings | 00:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | doumo, i just didn't explain it well... | 00:32 |
| puff | My friend is a near-complete computer illiterate. | 00:32 |
| nickrud_ | doumo, I think line 86 should be 640x480 | 00:32 |
| DowopDiDo | wheres the jaunty channel? Does anyone know? | 00:32 |
| puff | I'm tempted to just put ubuntu on it and tell him to have fun :-). | 00:32 |
| puff | However, he wants to play video games, dunno how much pain that might be. | 00:32 |
| nightrid3r | DowopDiDo #ubuntu+1 | 00:32 |
| BrixSat | i still cant play youtube files even after instaling from adobe site the deb fil :S | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: www.adobe.com get the tar.gz extract to your home folder. create the folder ~/.mozilla/plugins | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | puff: depends on the games, and he could dual boot | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: and copy the .so file to the nw folder | 00:32 |
| jgood | sebsebseb, yea none of the common suggestions did anything | 00:33 |
| SuperDefenderX | Anyone here know how to install Quake 3 on 64bit Ubuntu? | 00:33 |
| DowopDiDo | thanks | 00:33 |
| BrixSat | i can play animations but not the video :S | 00:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | puff, gaming in ubuntu is kinda limited compared to Windows. There are games, but not nearly as many. if they're a gamer, you experiment probably will fail - or that's my hypothesis | 00:33 |
| doumo | nickrud_, I changed it thanks | 00:33 |
| mezy | from liveusb, how do i make a folder on my hdd | 00:33 |
| zlr | hello, i have a question. I'm trying to help someone but got stuck : we are trying to mount a local partition, /dev/sda3 but mount returns a " Stale NFS file handle" error o_O Anyone knows what can be going on ? | 00:33 |
| darko956 | i do not see my card there | 00:34 |
| pyroger | hey guys | 00:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | zlr "umount -f <whateveryouhadnfsmounted>" | 00:34 |
| austin | nightrid3r: i called them, they told me i have one if i have a router..... | 00:34 |
| darko956 | i did post on forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1085389 it might have a little bit more information for you | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | pyroger: hi | 00:34 |
| doumo | I think My xorg.conf is missed up. Can someone look at it and let me know? the SClayout I think has bad information for the keyboard,mouse and graphic card. http://pastebin.com/d311f15d | 00:35 |
| pyroger | can anyone help me... my files on my hard drives seem to dissappear when the server is left idol for a while...anyideas... hi sebsebseb! | 00:35 |
| kopolee11 | hello again, i was wondering what was a quick way to look at your partition tables without resorting to a live cd | 00:35 |
| jgood | sebsebseb, so the common install problems page was no help, and what do you mean by other media to install it? | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | darko956: is lspci doesnt show it, make sure the lil switch to enable it is set to on and that its enabled in bios | 00:35 |
| zlr | will try, ZykoticK9, thanks ! | 00:35 |
| pyroger | kopolee add storage device manager | 00:35 |
| mezy | nevermind | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | jgood: media as in things you can install it from | 00:35 |
| Anacranom | puff, for gaming see #winehq and #cedega and i'll talk to you here #seaphor | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | darko956: you can always turn it off then on to see if the system rreacts | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | puff: 2d games with enough RAM would probably be ok in a virtual machine as well | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | 3d games though nope | 00:35 |
| jgood | sebsebseb, so what would be an alternative? all i have is cd and usb ports | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | darko956: you could also read through: dmesg | less | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | jgood: you can install from a USB stick yes | 00:36 |
| pyroger | any ideas? | 00:36 |
| jgood | sebsebseb, i do have a thumb drive and an external hard drive.... so should i try the thumb drive then? | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | well | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | !install | 00:36 |

| sebsebseb | hogwash: aheros ok | 00:37 |

| ActionParsnip | !test | 00:37 |
| ubottu | sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. | 00:37 |
| jwaldo | ActionParsnip: This is what I get when I select 'manual': http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3318/3327270018_7020c20ca2_b.jpg | 00:37 |
| jwaldo | "/dev/sda1" is my Windows partition, "/dev/sda3" is my Windows recovery partition, and "/dev/sda4" is for some bios-related stuff. It seems to want to wipe them all, and seems to ignore the free space no matter what | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | !scp | kesi | 00:37 |
| ubottu | kesi: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 00:37 |
| BiosElement | Anyone know a command to remove .svn folders from a folder and all sub-folders? | 00:37 |

| sebsebseb | !sftp | 00:37 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sftp | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | jwaldo: yes you need to click manual then click next | 00:37 |
| kesi | sebsebseb, thanks! that's what I was trying to remember :) | 00:37 |
| nightrid3r | austin the original interface of linksys is limited, maybe the isp helpdesk can help you configure forwarding | 00:38 |
| nightrid3r | austin thet shoud be it | 00:38 |
| sebsebseb | kesi: yeah and I guess you could use FTP as well | 00:38 |
| Jufis | Thank you all who helped me with my sound problems! I got it all working now :) this channel rocks and so does ubuntu! <3 | 00:38 |

| pyroger | actionparsnip: thats one thing its saying for one of the harddrives... | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: you could copy ot to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 00:43 |
| jwaldo | ActionParsnip: I've selected the manual mode, and now have a mess of options | 00:44 |
| austin | nightrid3r: alright nice....few questions i have now: 1) will my ip ever change, and if it does will it be difficult to resettup? 2) how vulnerable am i to hack/crack attacks 3) are otehr comptuers on my entwork safe? 4) what do i do to get a domain hooked onto one of the web pages | 00:44 |
| austin | :D | 00:44 |
| nightrid3r | austin make sure you rename your files to end with .html | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | pyroger: i had a drive like that. I ended up replacing it | 00:44 |

| coreyman | How do I remove games completley from ubuntu with sudo apt-get remove? | 00:44 |
| armence | Hi all | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | austin: have a hardware firewall and keep ports closed unless you need to open them for something | 00:45 |
| dean | coreyman: sudo apt-get remove && sudo apt-get autoremove | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | jwaldo: you need to create 2 partitions in that free space, / and /swp. make swp about 1Gb and use the rest for / | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: sudo apt-get purge remove program | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: and might be some hidden .folders even so left. in home | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: its --purge not just purge | 00:45 |
| pyroger | action parsnip: :( i have two drives doing it tho... and they are both 1TB :( | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: view show hidden files and folders | 00:45 |
| coreyman | I mean, like, the standard games that come with ubuntu | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: I think both works | 00:45 |
| coreyman | How do I remove those. | 00:45 |
| nightrid3r | austin if your ip from isp is static it will never change, you box might be vulnerable if apache or the scripts (php) you use are vulnerable, other computers are protected by the router | 00:45 |
| coreyman | what are they called. | 00:45 |
| dean | coreyman: gnome-games | 00:46 |
| jwaldo | ActionParsnip: Would I use the "new partition" button for that? Would I check the free space first? | 00:46 |
| coreyman | dean: thanks | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: indeed the standard games that come with Ubuntu are not that good, but they are probably part of ubuntu-desktop | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: and you don't really want to just remove ubuntu-desktop | 00:46 |
| armence | I just installed ubuntu, how do I make sure that it starts up with the acpi=off option? Otherwise, it freezes when loading. | 00:46 |
| pyroger | action parsnip: when you replaced it did it work? by anychance is there some kind of sleep option that is kicking in after a certain time or sometin? | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: also those games will hardly take up any space | 00:46 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: the same thing :S some animations require me to click a play button to start the animation and other like the main video of youtube just shows ok and after a while it stays gray | 00:46 |
| nightrid3r | austin if you get a domain you'll have to reconfigure your apache conf and use a vhost in the domain | 00:46 |
| dean | armence: update /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:46 |
| coreyman | sebsebseb dean got me :D | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: this is Ubuntu not Windows, loads can be done with just 8GB even | 00:46 |
| austin | sebsebseb: as for my fire wall, do i just pull one off of the package manger? | 00:47 |
| armence | dean: I'm running from the live cd though... | 00:47 |
| coreyman | I just wanted to remove them, they were bothering me. | 00:47 |
| austin | nightrid3r: and is this very difficult? | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | austin: could get firestarter, but hardware firewall is the best, so the one in your router | 00:47 |
| darko956 | i still dont know what to do to get my wireless card to work :-/ | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | austin: and you could find out about iptables if you want as well | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | !iptables | 00:47 |
| 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). | 00:47 |
| nightrid3r | austin the easy way to do that is use webmin + virtualmin, then you have an easy webinterface to change your settings | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: have you got flashblock or adblock installed | 00:47 |
| nivardus | is there a way to easily remove packages that were installed due to dependancies from another package? (such as I installed amarok and now want to delete the hell out of it) | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | nightrid3r: that sounds interesting, but does it work for all routers? | 00:48 |
| austin | nightrid3r: so sudo apt-get install webmin + virtualmin? | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | nivardus: sudo apt-get --purge --autoremove | 00:48 |
| nivardus | thanks, action | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !webmin | austin | 00:48 |
| ubottu | austin: 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. | 00:48 |
| ogre | hi, how do i save a file in nano? im confused | 00:48 |
| austin | :( | 00:48 |
| nightrid3r | austin yes, your router doesn't care about domains and stuff, it only knows ip adresses and ports | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | ogre: Nano I woudn't recommend using it if your new to Linux | 00:48 |
| dean | ogre: ^O (Ctrl-O) | 00:48 |
| Dr_willis | og01, ^X means Ctrl X | 00:48 |
| Dr_willis | ^ = ctrl | 00:48 |
| Anacranom | darko956, /join #seaphor and i'll help you there if not here, see cara, she's real good, i'm about to log | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: not in na grep ;) | 00:49 |
| Dr_willis | I hate how nano is the default and confuises people | 00:49 |
| Dr_willis | theres better 'beginner' editors out there. :) | 00:49 |
| dieselsmoke | ogre: ctrl+x | 00:49 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: no! | 00:49 |
| ogre | ahh thats what had me screwed up thanks dean Dr_willis | 00:49 |
| BrixSat | i had a lot of flash in the extras like flash 9 and 10 i had deactivated all | 00:49 |
| austin | nighrid3r: so in ubuntu, how do i get my web address? | 00:49 |
| Dr_willis | I had to explain to a few 'beginners' at work that they did not want to hit the ^ key then W :) | 00:49 |
| nightrid3r | austin if you have unlimited bandwith you could even host some friends site with that setup :) | 00:49 |

| keith | using kino, and when I paused the playback... the sound got stuck. Is there any way to stop it and/or fix it without restarting? | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | darko956: ahtros wireless yes? ok you need madwifi | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | austin: www.ipchicken.com | 00:50 |
| _VIM_ | dean vi | 00:50 |
| Dr_willis | dean, i used mpedit on some disrtos - its very straight forward.. even has pull down menus in the console/terminal | 00:50 |
| _VIM_ | vi much easier than *THAT* nano thing | 00:50 |
| * _VIM_ hides | 00:51 | |
| ActionParsnip | _VIM_: i find nano easier | 00:51 |

| ActionParsnip | austin: www.ipchicken.com will tell you it | 00:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | zlr, your running of the LiveCD... OH... what was your actual problem again? | 00:52 |
| raylu | ActionParsnip: and no pretty colors :D | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis | ActionParsnip, compared to mcedit, or otehrs.. its just not good in many ways. :) | 00:52 |
| austin | actionparsni, i know it though | 00:52 |
| coreyman | is it possible to compile ubuntu from the installed version on the hard disk. | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis | especially as a 'default editor for the total novice' | 00:52 |
| nightrid3r | austin then what did you meen | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | raylu: not bothered about colours | 00:52 |
| raylu | armence: put it in defoptions in that file | 00:52 |
| keith | my sound is stuck in an loop even though I closed the applications that were using it. How can I fix the problem without restarting? I trying restarting alsa-utils, but that only stopped the sound until it starting it again. | 00:52 |
| zlr | ^^ we're trying to mount a local ext3 partition which has the ubuntu install on it | 00:52 |

| raylu | ActionParsnip: that's because you don't have them | 00:52 |
| dean | armence: add it where it says defoptions= | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: i guess its what im used to | 00:52 |
| BrixSat | ActionParsnip: :'( after a while youtube makes firefox crash (get grayed) | 00:52 |
| dean | armence: to the end of that line and then do sudo update-grub | 00:52 |
| zlr | and it gives this NFS STALE FILEHANDLE error | 00:52 |
| BrixSat | but flash works fine | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | jwaldo: looks fine | 00:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | zlr, could you pastebin the output of "mount" | 00:53 |

| coreyman | Anyone know if I can compile ubuntu for a cd from what is on my hard disk. | 00:53 |

| dean | coreyman: yes you can | 00:53 |
| raylu | jwaldo: ignore that | 00:53 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: hi seems you got a lot of issues with Ubuntu???????? | 00:53 |

| enau1289 | Hey guys, I need to remove any .svn directories inside of a directory tree... is there a quick way to do that? | 00:54 |
| nightrid3r | austin you need a registrar like godaddy or co.cc and register your domain there and have it point to the outside ip | 00:54 |
| armence | dean: will it work even if I am running from the live CD right now? | 00:54 |
| coreyman | sebsebseb it is installed | 00:54 |
| Joker_-_ | it's a raid (/dev/md0 == /) | 00:54 |
| jwaldo | raylu: The tiny end partition is for Boot Booster, or some such thing. It's one of the stock partitions | 00:54 |
| KujiUn | Is "system restart" different than "session restart"? | 00:54 |
| dean | if you edit the actual /boot/grub/menu.lst on your hard disk then yes | 00:54 |
| Dr_willis | enau1289, proper use of the 'find' command can do that.. and No i dont know how exactluy | 00:55 |
| raylu | enau1289: find -name ".svn" -exec "rm -rf {} \;" | 00:55 |
| dean | if you edit the one from the livecd than no | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | jwaldo: write the partitions to the disk and continue with the install | 00:55 |
| hogwash | so am i supposed to reboot after i install these drivers ? | 00:55 |

| zlr | same thing ZykoticK9 ... This machine went thru some repair shop and apparently their action trashed the linux partition something bad | 01:04 |
| hogwash | ahh, i'll try that | 01:04 |
| Marfi | Dr_willis: is there a .deb for it? | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: is that one of the latest graphics cards from Nivida? | 01:04 |
| Marfi | Dr_willis: and do I have to remove it first? | 01:04 |
| Dr_willis | Marfi, No idea. check the program homepage? | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hogwash: are you logged in as root? | 01:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | zlr, still mentioning the NFS Stale? | 01:05 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: Xorg issues are common and a pain in the arse | 01:05 |
| Dr_willis | Marfi, You could install it from source for a specific user. not system wide. | 01:05 |
| coreyman | sebsebseb welcome back | 01:05 |
| coreyman | sebsebseb http://paste.ubuntu.com/126082/ | 01:05 |
| zlr | yes, ZykoticK9 | 01:05 |
| coreyman | sebsebseb i worked on this 9 hours yesterday | 01:05 |
| Marfi | Dr_willis: alright, I'll check that out. Ty. =) | 01:05 |
| coreyman | sebsebseb I need DFP below CRT | 01:05 |
| coreyman | but x locks up when i do that. | 01:05 |
| coreyman | thinking .conf error. | 01:05 |
| coreyman | 8600 GT is not a recent card. | 01:06 |
| coreyman | I've tried downgrading X, and different nvidia drivers to no avail, so it leads me to think xorg.conf | 01:06 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: it's not a really old card either though? | 01:06 |
| coreyman | right sebsebseb | 01:06 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: problems after you put on the propritary driver? before that things were ok? | 01:07 |
| zlr | ZykoticK9: at this point, i will advise to use photorec :/ | 01:07 |
| coreyman | sebsebseb I dont think you can use dual monitors without the driver | 01:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | zlr, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1060847&highlight=stale+nfs+file+handle for solution :) | 01:07 |

| usuario | Hi, all. I usually around google and the ubuntu forums but I don't really know how to search this problem. My languages are a bit messy because some of my menus and apps still still have a mix of English and other languages (however, I uninstalled all languages but English). How can I reconfigure all my menus and applications back to pure English? Thank you. | 01:08 |
| Dr_willis | pyrohotdog, its in the medibuntu repos | 01:09 |
| zlr | hmm, maybe gparted then ZykoticK9 | 01:09 |
| tonyyarusso | pyrohotdog: Because of legal issues. | 01:09 |
| coreyman | sebsebseb it is fine until the toolbars load | 01:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | pyrohotdog, you need to add the Medibuntu repo first | 01:09 |
| pyrohotdog | Dr_willis: how do I add them? | 01:09 |

| sebsebseb | coreyman: I don't think you can just downgrade Xorg | 01:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | zlr, never noticed an option for Partion - > Check but sounds good... good luck man. | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !downgrade | 01:10 |

| sebsebseb | coreyman: Intrepid Ibex also uses a much newer and rather differnet version from Hardy Heron | 01:10 |

| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: i dunno but you said intrepid doesnt have supprt, which it does | 01:11 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: maybe Hardy is better for his xorg issues I don't know, just going to look on his pastebin, but I am no xorg config expert | 01:11 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: no they removed the legay Nivida drivers | 01:12 |

| ActionParsnip | stephenjudkins: have you ran sudo apt-get update | 01:18 |
| coreyman | restarting x | 01:18 |
| marine1 | ZykoticK9, usb port | 01:19 |
| jwaldo | ActionParsnip: It said it was through, and when Ubiquity runs on login it seems to want to do everything over (partitioning and whatnot). I'm guessing it's just because it's in the startup items | 01:19 |
| armence | I just modified "/boot/grub/menu.lst" from the Live CD. When I try "sudo update-grub" it says there is no GRUB directory... What should I do? | 01:19 |

| yao_ziyuan | i wonder if ubuntu can employ a mixed development model: update core packages slowly, but app packages quickly | 01:21 |
| jwaldo | ActionParsnip: At System -> Preferences -> Sessions? | 01:21 |

| jwaldo | zach: I just installed Easy Peasy, and my wireless is fine | 01:21 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:21 |
| yao_ziyuan | by the way, is there a ppa.launchpad.net repository that offers the latest apps (gimp, pidgin, etc.) fast? | 01:21 |
| sebsebseb | jwaldo: what a silly name I think | 01:21 |
| sebsebseb | EasyPeasy | 01:22 |
| zach | jwaldo: and what version of easy peasy is it? | 01:22 |
| jwaldo | sebsebseb: It used to be Ubuntu Eee, until Ubuntu got angry | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | jwaldo: on the other hand netbooks are aimed at noobs as well | 01:22 |
| zach | sebsebseb: it is a bit silly | 01:22 |
| jwaldo | zach: 1.0, IIRC. Whatever's the latest stable version | 01:22 |
| zach | jwaldo: ok | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | zach: yeah and some would say Ubuntu is a silly name, but yet, it is the most used Desktop Linux | 01:23 |
| jwaldo | sebsebseb: Funny, I thought they were aimed at folks who wanted a tiny computer | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | jwaldo: check the bootup options in bios as well as the options in the bootloader, make sure its not using the ubuntu iso as boot | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | jwaldo: sure, and ignorant computer users | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | jwaldo: or whatever | 01:23 |
| zach | sebsebseb: this is true and i think that ubuntu is a great name for the os | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | zach: yeah I like the Ubuntu ideologey and all that | 01:24 |
| jwaldo | ActionParsnip: It'd be odd if it was, since I pulled out the SD card when prompted to, before restart | 01:24 |

| zach | jwaldo: is the wireless working 100 percent all the time? Mine is intermittent and disconnects as it pleases and is quite slow | 01:26 |
| jwaldo | sebsebseb: It seems every Linux distro I go for has a funny name. I just downloaded Mandriva, too | 01:26 |

| ckwalsh | When the computer starts up it is fine | 01:30 |
| nickrud | ckwalsh, you mean if you set up a wired ethernet in interfaces file, it switches to dynamic?! | 01:31 |
| ckwalsh | Yes | 01:31 |
| coreyman | So my x crashed. | 01:31 |
| nightrid3r | ckwalsh never used static on graphical system, maybe it has to do with networkmanager overwriting stuff | 01:31 |
| ckwalsh | If I execute sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart it goes back to static | 01:31 |
| dreamy | hi everyone | 01:31 |

| ckwalsh | Yes | 01:33 |
| dreamy | Titan8990: ive set and tested apache server it says it works.. but it has to go trougth the computer i have here ont he left first its got a vista OS ..so that it can brad cast to the net | 01:33 |
| dreamy | how do i broad cast ? | 01:33 |
| dieselsmoke | louis`: netstat -tunap should work. | 01:34 |
| Titan8990 | dreamy, you mean you are using a vista computer for a router? | 01:34 |
| horndog | If so your IP changes to dynamic when when your lease expires . | 01:34 |
| dreamy | (got a 2 computer networtk>() | 01:34 |
| ckwalsh | And it works fine, it assigns IPs 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.255 | 01:34 |
| dreamy | Titan8990: yes .. i do i have a reazon to it.. | 01:34 |

| louis`` | hi how i know the connections via putty | 01:34 |
| louis`` | is something like ps x | 01:35 |
| dieselsmoke | louis`: netstat -tunap | 01:35 |
| Titan8990 | dreamy, you need to A) find out if your ISP allows you to host web servers (if you live in the U.S. this answer is most likely no) B) port forward port 80 on your router to the linux box | 01:35 |
| dreamy | Titan8990: it because its wlan is making me get net here | 01:35 |
| horndog | There is no problem except you have a bynamic IP to start with | 01:35 |
| coreyman | oh well i dont guess my x will ever be how i want it. | 01:35 |
| TheGambler | Hi, in order to run a decent web server, mostly inbound posting of sales leads, what kind of RAM would be required for good performance with a peak load of 5 leads posted per second? | 01:35 |
| louis`` | dieselsmoke but i saw something like ps6 and other process ps1 .. ps2 | 01:35 |
| louis`` | soemthing like that | 01:35 |
| louis`` | when y put ps x | 01:35 |
| dieselsmoke | louis`: ps aux ..shows processes | 01:35 |
| dreamy | Titan8990: the router u mean is the vista pc? (because i got another fisical router/modem) | 01:36 |
| dieselsmoke | louis`: netstat -tunap shows connections/ports | 01:36 |
| louis`` | dieselsmoke i know but i saw some processes i dont what is i guess putty conections ts6 | 01:36 |

| dreamy | Titan8990: i just dont dig well the part of how will info for the port 80 is passing by the VISTA (os) PC | 01:38 |
| ckwalsh | So, any suggestions on what may be randomly reassigning my IP? | 01:38 |
| nightrid3r | TheGambler i guess 1GB should work | 01:38 |
| dieselsmoke | louis``: you mean 'pts/0' ? | 01:38 |
| TheGambler | oh sweet; I'm too used to Windoze where 2 or 4 would be required lol | 01:38 |
| Titan8990 | dreamy, I have no idea how vista could possibly route traffic | 01:38 |

| Alex_21 | Please | 01:39 |
| TheGambler | nightrid3r: do you suppose 4GB would be good for a dedicated PostgreSQL box to back-end for 2 such web servers? | 01:39 |
| Alex_21 | Depends on the size of the servers | 01:39 |
| nightrid3r | dreamy vista will only route if one of the netcards has a routable (public) ip | 01:39 |
| Alex_21 | And how much of a database they need | 01:39 |
| horndog | ckwalsh, That is the definition of DHCP, If you with, you can change it | 01:39 |
| TheGambler | Alex_21: I'd say no more than 300 GB and around 30 transactions per second | 01:40 |
| nightrid3r | TheGambler should be enough | 01:40 |

| g0tcha | hey guys, anyone here by any chance installed ubuntu 8.10 on VMWARE workstation? | 01:43 |
| nickrud | Blast, longhorn was the pre release code name for a while | 01:43 |
| Alex_21 | I have a shell open in the install cd and I want to know how my partitions are set up | 01:43 |
| Titan8990 | dreamy, you can't run an ethernet cable into wherever your router is or install a wireless PCI card? | 01:43 |
| g0tcha | the desktop doesnt start up and it gives me permission denied when i try to "startx" | 01:43 |
| Blast | so vista would have been longhorn? | 01:43 |
| nightrid3r | Blast yup | 01:44 |
| rdw200169 | g0tcha, 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' if you're running gnome (regular ubuntu) | 01:44 |
| dreamy | Titan8990: well no.. the technician didnt made anything to be pluged here in my room | 01:44 |
| Titan8990 | dreamy, it doesn't require a technician to run a wire.... | 01:44 |
| g0tcha | rdw200169, it is, ill test that out | 01:44 |
| Alex_21 | How can I use sodu from the install disk? | 01:44 |
| Alex_21 | Please | 01:44 |
| sebsebseb | gotcha: VMware heh | 01:45 |
| dreamy | Titan8990: but i dont want to put a wire from the room to the living room | 01:45 |
| rdw200169 | g0tcha, you have to make sure, though, that there isn't already an X server running, or gdm. | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | gotcha: you got to make a vmx file for workstation as well? | 01:45 |
| Titan8990 | dreamy, wireless PCI card.... | 01:45 |
| zgmf-x42s | hey all. anyone know of an amazingly supported app for a virtual drive, like daemon tools, except in ubuntu | 01:45 |
| nightrid3r | dreamy then use wireless | 01:45 |
| g0tcha | rdw200169, how can i make sure of that? | 01:45 |
| rdw200169 | g0tcha, also, sometimes a restart works, or a stop/start | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | !mount | 01:45 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | !iso | 01:45 |
| 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. | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | zgmf-x42s: see above | 01:45 |
| g0tcha | rdw200169, restart didnt work | 01:45 |
| g0tcha | sebsebseb, yeah, VMware | 01:45 |
| gotcha | sebsebseb ? | 01:45 |
| Blast | why dosnt windows vista/longhorn work when i try to use it | 01:46 |
| rdw200169 | g0tcha, ah, use the command 'ps -AF | grep X' | 01:46 |
| gotcha | ah, pls dont write gotcha ;) | 01:46 |
| rdw200169 | g0tcha, it will return 'grep X', you can ignore that, you're looking for something like '/usr/bin/X' | 01:46 |
| Alex_21 | Thanks | 01:46 |
| Alex_21 | A million | 01:46 |
| nightrid3r | Blast cos vista sucks? | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | gotcha: well it depends on what you want to do exactly, but for a lot of people Virutualbox is better. well I haven't used workstation so when I say better I mean better than VMware player and server | 01:46 |
| kesi | Can anyone tell me why I can't connect via Remote Desktop to my ubuntu desktop? I can ssh to it no prob but I get a "connection closed" error when I use vinagre/Remote Desktop to connect to it. | 01:46 |
| dreamy | exactly but the linux computer is a bit old and doenst has Wireless .. how ever the computer with vista has .. afterwards it shares trouhg lan to my linux | 01:46 |
| rdw200169 | g0tcha, then, do the same thing w/gdm, i.e. 'ps -AF | grep gdm' | 01:46 |
| fladd | hi there | 01:46 |
| ConstantineXVI | Blast, wrong channel. try ##windows | 01:46 |
| g0tcha | rdw200169, ok | 01:46 |

| Kraft | XVID MPEG-4 decoder | 01:46 |
| Kraft | damn | 01:46 |

| g0tcha | sebsebseb, i do use vbox :s | 01:46 |
| g0tcha | but vbox has a problem with freebsd | 01:47 |
| rdw200169 | g0tcha, if either show up, make sure to kill them using the process number in the first column from the ps command output | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | gotcha: you can use your vmdk files in Virtualbox | 01:47 |
| g0tcha | so i went with vmware for now | 01:47 |
| rdw200169 | g0tcha, i.e. 'kill <process #> | 01:47 |
| zgmf-x42s | sebsebseb: thanks ill check it out. i need to mount the image, and then install win xp from iso into xVM | 01:47 |
| Blast | no when i chose ubuntu on start up it says ubuntu vista longhorn but that dont work | 01:47 |
| g0tcha | rdw200169, thanks will do | 01:47 |
| Blast | lol | 01:47 |
| zgmf-x42s | hopefully it has a nice gui | 01:47 |
| rdw200169 | g0tcha, and if that won't kill it: 'kill -9 <process #>' | 01:47 |
| dreamy | nightrid3r: im using the wireless thats rigth .. but not on linux.. | 01:47 |
| louis``` | what mean 4305 tty4 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty4 | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | zgmf-x42s: no you dont need to mount it | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | zgmf-x42s: well you do in virtualbox | 01:47 |
| g0tcha | sebsebseb, vbox virtual harddisk file will load up wit VMware?! | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | zgmf-x42s: ,but in Ubuntu you don't need to | 01:47 |
| Kraft | blast you could burn knoppix-std on a disc and then it would run when you re-boot.... than when u take the disc out it would go back to vista OS | 01:47 |
| rdw200169 | g0tcha, have you *ever* gotten X to start correctly? | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | gotcha: yes exactly | 01:48 |
| zgmf-x42s | sebseb | 01:48 |
| zgmf-x42s | sebsebseb: well, yah, thats why i need something almost equivalent to daemon tools | 01:48 |
| nightrid3r | dreamy plug the linux cable into the router | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | zgmf-x42s: just tell Virtualbox to use your XP ISO or CD | 01:48 |
| Kraft | daemon tools is a good program | 01:48 |
| g0tcha | rdw200169, no, its still the first install in vmware and it didnt X didnt work at all | 01:48 |
| g0tcha | sebsebseb, wow! cool | 01:48 |
| Kraft | you could try installing it with "wine" | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | zgmf-x42s: and you can use deamontools in your XP VM I think | 01:48 |
| g0tcha | i need to try that out | 01:48 |
| Titan8990 | nightrid3r, its not use.... | 01:48 |
| dreamy | nightrid3r: ok.. maybe.. | 01:48 |
| rdw200169 | g0tcha, ah, you may need to check your x log, /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | gotcha: indeed esapilly if you gott to make stupid vmx files for vmware | 01:49 |
| sebsebseb | gotcha: virtualbox don't need some stupid vmx file to run vmdks | 01:49 |
| gotcha | sebsebseb still wrong highlight | 01:49 |

| zgmf-x42s | sebsebseb: yah you can use daemon tool in virtual box, it works liek a charm. and yah it has to be from iso, cause this is an eee pc, and as such, no cd drive | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | Alex_21: ok you want help partitining your hard disk to install Ubuntu? | 01:50 |
| Kraft | so many people are confused | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | zgmf-x42s: ok so get the ISO on Ubuntu, and then use Virtualbox and tell it to use the ISO | 01:51 |
| Alex_21 | Yes | 01:51 |

| KenBW2 | sebsebseb: what ana amzingly worthwhile comment that was | 02:00 |
| nightrid3r | dreamy then use http://your.ip:8000 to reach it | 02:00 |

| rdw200169 | opera, personally, i live in vim, but that doesn't mean you have to. i admit, i only use vim for my larger projects... for small stuff i'm quite content w/using nano. long story short, vim has many, many brilliant features, they are just difficult to figure out because it doesn't act like anything you've used before | 02:03 |
| kesi | nanotube, hmmm.. can't grep vinagre or 5900 out of there and don't see anything. | 02:03 |
| dreamy | Titan8990: you mean u dont like them ? .. regulations? | 02:03 |
| coreyman | how do i remove ekiga softphone? | 02:03 |
| dreamy | the isp regulations | 02:03 |
| Alex_21 | How do you mount it | 02:03 |
| sebsebseb | Kraft: ok, but that does not mean you know about cyber security, encryption and such | 02:03 |
| Kraft | ekiga is pretty cool, skype is better though | 02:03 |
| Titan8990 | dreamy, I hate the regulations but I am saying that I can't help you bypass them | 02:03 |
| kesi | nanotube, let me try rebooting. | 02:03 |
| dieselsmoke | kesi: vinagre is the client, vino-server is the server | 02:03 |
| dreamy | okey | 02:03 |
| kesi | dieselsmoke, ahh ok. | 02:04 |
| Kraft | yeah i agree | 02:04 |
| nanotube_ | kesi: well, so vinagre server is not running, make sure to start it up. | 02:04 |
| Kraft | im a beginner | 02:04 |
| ubp123 | hmmm bots would talk about office biz lol, thankls | 02:04 |
| Alex_21 | Please | 02:04 |
| kesi | dieselsmoke, not seeing vino in a pgrep | 02:04 |
| ubp123 | thanks lol | 02:04 |
| rdw200169 | opera, but it can be a full-fledged programming environment (IDE) if you want it to be, using addons and such; the people that like vim so much (and consequentially emacs), are those that can type *very* well, and don't appreciate using a mouse for doing anything | 02:04 |
| dreamy | Titan8990: but what diferent whould it make if its showing on a search engine? can the user get there.. | 02:04 |
| kesi | nanotube, how do I start this up? | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | Kraft: ok if you do non encrypted VNC, people can pick up on the connection | 02:04 |
| Kraft | thats why i was reading the pdf file i stumbled upon in the forums | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | Kraft: and then gain access to the computer being vnced | 02:04 |
| === rachel is now known as Guest54511 | ||
| dreamy | sorry for my bad keyboard | 02:04 |
| dieselsmoke | kesi: vino would be on the remote box | 02:04 |
| Kraft | so theyre like wardriving or hacking my comp | 02:05 |
| Alex_21 | Sebsebs: How do you view the different drive? | 02:05 |
| nanotube_ | kesi: you can either do it from the gui somewhere (i'm not on my ubuntu machine, so can't check, but probably in preferences -> remote desktop), or from the cli start vino-server | 02:05 |
| Kraft | theyre gonna find a bunch of porn than | 02:05 |
| rdw200169 | Kraft, i was in the army for 7 years (now im a guardsman) | 02:05 |
| Kraft | hahaha | 02:05 |
| kesi | dieselsmoke, I know.. I'm ssh'd into it. | 02:05 |
| Kraft | sounds like fun | 02:05 |
| archerseven | question, using an intel quad core, can you use the 64 bit version of Ubuntu, or is there a better way to get it to see all 4 gig of ram? | 02:05 |
| dieselsmoke | kesi: you need to enable it. | 02:05 |
| Kraft | i was ambushed in afghanistan now i get $2,000 for free the rest of my life | 02:05 |
| dreamy | Titan8990: even in port 8000 its shows on the search engine i hope? | 02:05 |

| MindVirus | I'm starting to get sick of this. | 02:05 |
| MindVirus | When I right click on something, retarded behavior occurs. | 02:06 |
| nanotube_ | kesi: don't type "start" :) | 02:06 |
| opera | rdw , i am a new ubuntu user . i will consider your advise . | 02:06 |
| kesi | dieselsmoke, I did enable it... I went into preferences then remote desktop, enabled it and set a password. | 02:06 |
| MindVirus | I have to hold down the right mouse button. | 02:06 |
| hogwash | hi | 02:06 |
| MindVirus | And sometimes the computer thinks I let go. | 02:06 |
| * hogwash has his wireless network working. | 02:06 | |
| sebsebseb | hogwash: hi | 02:06 |
| TheGambler | Is it considered lame to use GUI tools to manage LAMP? | 02:06 |
| kesi | nanotube, what do you want me to type | 02:06 |
| hogwash | you guys rock | 02:06 |
| rdw200169 | Kraft, were you hurt? ... ah, wait, we should talk that here, they'll tell us its offtopic (#ubuntu-offtopic) | 02:06 |
| dieselsmoke | kesi: look in prefs - sessions, enable it there | 02:06 |
| Mr_Giraffe | hey, i'm trying to play warsow (and other FPSes) and for some reason when i click to shoot there's like a 0.5 - 1 second lag every time | 02:06 |
| kesi | dieselsmoke, ok | 02:06 |
| hogwash | the jackoffs in #kubuntu dont know jack squat | 02:06 |
| ubp123 | i too a novice in this chatting system. lol | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | TheGambler: ha maybe, but I guess use whatever works for you | 02:06 |
| Mr_Giraffe | does anybody do any gaming in ubuntu> | 02:06 |
| nightrid3r | TheGambler nope | 02:06 |
| Mr_Giraffe | er, ?* | 02:06 |
| hogwash | Mr_Giraffe: i do | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | Mr_Giraffe: yes a lot of good games for Linux as well | 02:07 |
| nanotube_ | kesi: just "vino-server" might do it.assuming the default config is sane. | 02:07 |
| TheGambler | okay, is PhpMyAdmin the way to go if you want GUI? | 02:07 |
| hogwash | Mr_Giraffe: i play unreal tornament 2004, quake wars, and doom3 | 02:07 |
| rdw200169 | opera, what are you looking for in a text editor? this is the important question... in linux, there are lots and lots of options for text editors, each with their own subtle features | 02:07 |
| Mr_Giraffe | hogwash: my mouse clicks are lagging terribly whenever i play warsow | 02:07 |
| Mr_Giraffe | like half a second at least | 02:07 |
| Mr_Giraffe | it's practically unplayable and i don't get what the issue is | 02:07 |
| kesi | nanotube, it doesn't. | 02:07 |
| nightrid3r | TheGambler i'm a fan of webmin, it allows you to configure allot of stuff | 02:07 |
| TheGambler | nightrid3r: thanks. I will take a look | 02:08 |
| Alex_21 | Sebsebseb: How do you view the different drive?s | 02:08 |
| kesi | dieselsmoke, it's not listed there. What command needs to be enabled? | 02:08 |
| Alex_21 | Please | 02:08 |
| Jufis | How can I remove the active window title shadowing? | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | Alex_21: your on LIve CD? | 02:08 |
| dieselsmoke | kesi: i'll look. | 02:08 |
| Alex_21 | No, Alternate, but I was forced to drop into the shell | 02:08 |
| rdw200169 | opera, ah, i forgot to mention. if you want to use vim, but find it too difficult at the outset, there is a version of it called cream. that, or you can use gvim... they are both (sort-of) easier to use gui versions of vim | 02:08 |
| TheGambler | nightrid3r: oh wow, it does more than just PHP and MySQL. Nice | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | Alex_21: oh alternate hummmmmm | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | Alex_21: why did you go alternte? | 02:09 |
| nanotube_ | kesi: sorry not on my *nix machine, so that's all i have for now :) | 02:09 |
| Alex_21 | Sebsebseb: But I have no GUI | 02:09 |
| nightrid3r | TheGambler thats why i like it | 02:09 |
| hogwash | Mr_Giraffe: tell #xorg | 02:09 |
| TheGambler | nightrid3r: thanks | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | Alex_21: yes you need the desktop CD for a graphical installer | 02:09 |
| Mr_Giraffe | hogwash: kk | 02:09 |
| nanotube_ | kesi: maybe dieselsmoke will figure it out :) | 02:09 |
| devilsF001 | hi can anyone tell me if my server should have a record for it's self in /proc/net/arp? | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | Alex_21: and partition program | 02:09 |
| dreamy | nightrid3r: damn :S | 02:09 |
| dreamy | sorry .. got disconected | 02:09 |
| kesi | nanotube, I hope | 02:09 |
| opera | than you rdw. | 02:09 |
| nightrid3r | TheGambler virtualmin is also great for web stuff | 02:09 |
| TheGambler | nightrid3r: that will be especially nice to use via iPhone at 3AM instead of a command prompt | 02:09 |
| ubp123 | how most can chage the updated ubutu to the debian machine on purpose ? | 02:10 |
| Alex_21 | Sebsebseb: The desktop system is horrible. I memorized the alternate installer, being blind and all. | 02:10 |
| sebsebseb | Alex_21: now that's something I never had a reason to do, partition my hard disk using commands | 02:10 |
| nightrid3r | dreamy your isp just installed a probe :) | 02:10 |
| rdw200169 | opera, that, or you can use gedit, even with sudo, instead of a terminal text editor | 02:10 |
| MindVirus | When I right click on something, retarded behavior occurs -- if I just right click then it, then the first item menu is automatically selected without me even seeing it.

| MindVirus | I'll talk to the Compiz guys about it. | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | Alex_21: ,but in general when it comes to computers, don't really think about how the blind might also be using Ubuntu or something like this | 02:12 |
| ubp123 | is that metacity bring most from the ubuntu to debian machines ??? | 02:13 |
| coreyman | I want to create a CD from the UBUNTU installed on my hard disk. Where should I look for information. | 02:13 |

| nightrid3r | sebsebseb in general i don't think at all :) | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: you don't make a CD from your installed Ubuntu system | 02:13 |
| Alex_21 | Sebsebseb: Thanks | 02:13 |

| nightrid3r | TheGambler grab the tar from the site and use that | 02:16 |

| Cpudan80 | Hey all | 02:22 |
| kesi | dieselsmoke, local only was unchecked | 02:22 |
| Cpudan80 | Anyone having problems with pidgin segfaulting lately? | 02:22 |
| sebsebseb | kesi: using unencrypted VNC and talking about it in IRC, well people can exploit that | 02:22 |
| hogwash | hmw: that you link you had teh bot give me doesent seem to be up to date with 8.10 | 02:22 |
| ubp123 | if the installation commands and the maintenace commands were identical.. most fool would thing them as being the same lol | 02:22 |
| Cpudan80 | All the latest updates and everything, pidgin starts and dies (AIM and GMail accounts are connected to it) | 02:23 |
| ubp123 | woud think | 02:23 |
| dieselsmoke | kesi: looks like its running but the port is already bound, try another port or find whats using 5900 | 02:23 |
| kesi | sebsebseb, not worried about it, this computer will only have lan access. | 02:23 |
| kesi | dieselsmoke, ok. | 02:23 |
| dieselsmoke | kesi: hopefully youre behind a firewall | 02:24 |
| sebsebseb | kesi: 5900 I don't even need that open in my router :) all I need is the SSH port open | 02:24 |
| kesi | dieselsmoke, obviously. | 02:24 |
| kesi | dieselsmoke, how can I tell what's open on 5900 | 02:24 |
| _VIM_ | same here sebsebseb, that's what i do, tunnel ftw | 02:24 |
| sebsebseb | kesi: Kesi you should keep the computer your using secure and that's that. if not bad things can happen to your Ubuntu installl as well | 02:24 |
| hmw | hogwash: I dont know, really. But I know, that uncleanly shutting down windows leaves the partition in a state, in which it cant be mounted under Linux. | 02:24 |
| dieselsmoke | kesi: netstat -tuap | 02:24 |
| kesi | sebsebseb, this is not helpful. please don't lecture me. | 02:24 |
| sebsebseb | _VIM_: indeed and here I am mentining to Kesi how he should make it secure, and he does not seem to understand why | 02:24 |
| _VIM_ | lol | 02:24 |
| TheGambler | nightrid3r: did I fsck up my system when I installed NXServer via dpkg ? | 02:25 |
| kesi | sebsebseb, I understand, as I have said repeatedly I don't care. | 02:25 |
| sebsebseb | kesi: well not my problem if your computer gets cracked into, because you didn't secure it properly | 02:25 |
| kesi | sebsebseb, you're right, it isn't so lets be done with this. | 02:25 |
| dieselsmoke | kesi: you might try not using encrytion | 02:25 |

| hogwash | for 8.1 | 02:25 |
| sebsebseb | kesi: if you don't care, how about using Windows without proper security, like most computer users do, and then get your computer taken over by criminals, without you having any idea. oh right yeah without a firewall and bad sudo password they can do stuff to Ubuntu anyway | 02:26 |
| kesi | sebsebseb, get over yourself. | 02:26 |
| dieselsmoke | kesi: set remote server to use a different port, whats using 5900? try restarting | 02:26 |

| rovar | i have some usb headphones. Kubuntu recognizes them and even responds when i use the sound control.. it plays sounds when starting and exiting kubuntu, however, all other applications don't play sound | 02:26 |
| sebsebseb | _VIM_: LOL at that guy | 02:26 |
| kesi | dieselsmoke, already restarted. looking through netstat now, the switches you gave me didn't work | 02:26 |
| rovar | my guess is they're still attempting to access my built in sound card | 02:26 |
| rovar | any idea as to how to debug/override this? | 02:26 |
| dieselsmoke | kesi: netstat -tunap works | 02:27 |
| sebsebseb | kesi: heh maybe you should run Ubuntu as root all the time and run IRC, that's also a major security risk, in fact people get booted out of channels if they do that, not sure about this one though | 02:27 |
| kesi | dieselsmoke, it says vino server on 5900 | 02:27 |

| casinowarren | can someone help me with my fairly miniscule problem | 03:25 |
| storbeck | !ask | casinowarren | 03:25 |
| sprinkmeier | !ask | casinowarren | 03:25 |
| ubottu | casinowarren: 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. :-) | 03:25 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | whitedoor, what ver of ubuntu is this? | 03:25 |
| whitedoor | 8.10 | 03:26 |
| storbeck | sprinkmeier: I won :P | 03:26 |
| whitedoor | I just installed it clean | 03:26 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | whitedoor, is this a fresh install? | 03:26 |
| johnjohn101 | is there a package for beneath a steel sky for ubuntu? | 03:26 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | hmmm | 03:26 |
| sprinkmeier | storbeck, not on my screen! (network latency?) | 03:26 |
| Comrade-Sergei | nightrid3r, how do i restart it, i cant just go up down as im connected via ssh | 03:26 |
| storbeck | Hehe | 03:26 |
| dieselsmoke | keres_: you don't want gedit in a terminal, use vi, emacs, nano curses based editors | 03:26 |
| casinowarren | i'm trying to install my fonts on kubuntu...but don't have permissions | 03:26 |
| storbeck | casinowarren: Use sudo | 03:26 |
| whitedoor | yeah fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 | 03:26 |
| Nytrix | narothepharoh, u want an mp3 only cd? | 03:26 |
| ubp123 | aint point single is the finale goal i thought lol | 03:26 |
| * _VIM_ stands behind dieselsmoke in that vote | 03:27 | |
| narothepharoh | Nytrix: I know how to burn a cd with the typical 80 minutes but yes all files are mp3 k3b just goes by time or something and i cant find any option to make mp3 cd only data | 03:27 |
| casinowarren | ok let me see if that works | 03:27 |
| planetbeing | Sorry if I'm butting in, but has anyone installed Ubuntu on MacBookAir,12? | 03:27 |
| whitedoor | as you can tell I'm in X and its working but I'm currently logged in as root from the rescue mode | 03:27 |
| dieselsmoke | Nytrix: brasero does mp3 burns well. | 03:27 |
| whitedoor | if I do the standard boot it locks | 03:27 |
| planetbeing | err, MacBookAir1,2* | 03:27 |
| sprinkmeier | narothepharoh, if you tell k3b you're burning an audoi CD it automatically 'extracts' the MP3s. Burn a data CD. | 03:27 |
| ubp123 | butting? | 03:27 |
| hmw | ecret: Hmm. there is some "Resource temporarily unavailable" - might indicate file system problems, but that's just a guess. Checking the file system shouldnt do any harm. Can you give me more of the output? | 03:27 |
| casinowarren | what is the right code? because i used nautilus | 03:27 |
| casinowarren | or is that the same one | 03:27 |
| nightrid3r | Comrade-Sergei you'll lose connection anyway but sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 & should do it | 03:28 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | whitedoor, can you check the xorg log file? it's probably in /var/log | 03:28 |
| Nytrix | just open cd and drag and drop mp3 files in there | 03:28 |
| ubp123 | using UPull computer with Ubuntu ? | 03:28 |
| ohzie | Is there any reason that locate wouldn't search certain places? | 03:28 |
| _VIM_ | yep | 03:28 |
| ohzie | I know I have these files but I cannot find them. :[ | 03:28 |
| storbeck | casinowarren: What do you mean? | 03:28 |
| java | hello | 03:28 |
| _VIM_ | ohzie: sudo updatedb first and use sudo | 03:28 |
| ohzie | _VIM_, tride that | 03:28 |
| ohzie | tried* wow | 03:28 |
| ohzie | I'm just blown away | 03:28 |
| storbeck | ohzie: What are you looking for? | 03:29 |
| sprinkmeier | whitedoor, live CD? fresh 8.10 not working (except when X is running as root) is a new one for me. | 03:29 |
| ohzie | A movie | 03:29 |
| _VIM_ | hmm that should work | 03:29 |
| ubp123 | why most referring only vim ? | 03:29 |
| spill | anyone have a good sugestion for a 3d laucher? | 03:29 |
| storbeck | ohzie: find / -type -f -name yourmovie | 03:29 |
| narothepharoh | sprinkmeier: I tried to do to do that but it wont play in my car stereo and i have an mp3 cd i made from windows way back with like 200 songs on it and it works fine??? | 03:29 |
| casinowarren | in ubuntu i used alt+f2 and typed in gksu nautilus | 03:29 |
| ubp123 | to vim lol | 03:29 |
| planetbeing | For some reason, when I try to boot Ubuntu on MacBookAir1,2, the kernel doesn't quite get started. Things seem to crash after it tries to change video modes. The screen is black and the MacBook Air starts making scary beeping noises. | 03:29 |
| whitedoor | live CD wouldn't work at all | 03:29 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | whitedoor, there should be a single file in /var/log called Xorg.0.log | 03:29 |
| sprinkmeier | nightrid3r, Comrade-Sergei use ; not &!! | 03:29 |
| whitedoor | so I installed it | 03:29 |
| casinowarren | and that opend my root permissions | 03:29 |
| casinowarren | not working on kubuntu | 03:29 |
| fearful | Pici: If I download perl-base5.10-11 and install that instead of -19 will it fix? | 03:29 |
| Comrade-Sergei | sprinkmeier, too late | 03:29 |
| whitedoor | yeah I found the log | 03:29 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | scroll to the bottom of the logfile, whiteboor | 03:30 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | *whitedoor | 03:30 |
| Pici | fearful: I don't know | 03:30 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | sorry | 03:30 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | heh | 03:30 |
| FloodBot3 | MSabino-ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:30 |
| ecret | hmw: ok i will get the entire log | 03:30 |
| sprinkmeier | nightrid3r, Comrade-Sergei & means 'start these at the same time", you get a race condition. ; means "start one after another | 03:30 |
| whitedoor | heh | 03:30 |
| Comrade-Sergei | nightrid3r, nope still says "connect: network is unreachable" | 03:30 |
| whitedoor | yeah at the bottom of the log | 03:30 |
| spill | anyone have a good sugestion for a 3d laucher for gnome? | 03:30 |
| whitedoor | no errors or anything | 03:30 |
| Comrade-Sergei | sprinkmeier, duly noted | 03:30 |
| nightrid3r | oh | 03:30 |
| whitedoor | but I am in X atm so ... | 03:30 |
| ubp123 | i thought anytime the file of xorg.0.log should be erased by myself lol | 03:30 |
| sprinkmeier | whitedoor, live CD not working == HW does not like Ubuntu, no wonder it's acting up...... | 03:30 |
| hmw | ecret: wait a sec | 03:31 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | whitedoor, look above it a couple times, and see if you see any failed attempts | 03:31 |
| fearful | Pici: will it be bad if I completely remove it? | 03:31 |
| tavis | irc.adjects.com | 03:31 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | whitedoor, there should be certain string's that repeat over and over, like your display driver version string | 03:31 |
| nightrid3r | Comrade-Sergei sounds like a routing problem, is the gateway ip the one of your modem | 03:31 |
| Comrade-Sergei | nightrid3r, however i can still obviously ssh in locally | 03:31 |
| whitedoor | nope | 03:31 |
| narothepharoh | sprinkmeier: I tried to do to do that but it wont play in my car stereo and i have an mp3 cd i made from windows way back with like 200 songs on it and it works fine??? | 03:31 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | whitedoor, once per startx attempt | 03:31 |
| whitedoor | nvidia | 03:31 |
| spill | anyone have a good sugestion for a 3d laucher for gnome? | 03:31 |
| storbeck | spill: What do you mean by 3d launcher? | 03:32 |
| Comrade-Sergei | nightrid3r, well theres a wireless router between them that acts as a wired switch as well | 03:32 |
| sprinkmeier | whitedoor, you're running X as root, not as user. | 03:32 |
| whitedoor | yes | 03:32 |
| _VIM_ | !repeat > spill | 03:32 |
| ubottu | spill, please see my private message | 03:32 |
| whitedoor | I'm running X as root | 03:32 |
| ubp123 | and perhaps you can edit your xorg.conf with vim lol | 03:32 |
| ohzie | _VIM_, I found it, it was on a usb hard drive | 03:32 |
| ohzie | apparently updatedb doesn't look at those | 03:32 |
| ohzie | >:| | 03:32 |
| lasivian | what is a good portable MP3 player that is ubuntu "happy"? | 03:32 |
| sprinkmeier | narothepharoh, examine the mp3 CD, does it need a special format? heck, if windows works for you, use that :-) | 03:32 |
| hmw | ecret: i guess, youre getting the output by selecting the stuff in the terminal? if so, just type "-------------------" to mark the location, before using "ave as". | 03:32 |
| _VIM_ | udb123 haha | 03:32 |
| storbeck | ohzie: Please do not confuse locate with find | 03:32 |
| ohzie | storbeck, What's the difference? | 03:32 |
| _VIM_ | ohzie: glad you found it | 03:33 |
| ecret | hmw ok and yes i am copy pasting | 03:33 |
| lasivian | storbeck: I hate that, I do it constantly, heh | 03:33 |
| ubp123 | ohh hi, i didnt know of your name being _VIM...sorry and hi | 03:33 |
| _VIM_ | hehe hiya :) | 03:33 |
| spill | storbeck: I'm looking for an alternative to awn. | 03:33 |
| sprinkmeier | whitedoor, no error logs.. works as root but not user... sorry, I'm out if ideas/suggestions (other than change HW to something the live-CD likes) | 03:33 |
| _VIM_ | spill cairo-dock | 03:34 |
| _VIM_ | needs compiz though | 03:34 |
| storbeck | ohzie: http://www.westwind.com/reference/OS-X/commandline/misc.html#locate | 03:34 |
| narothepharoh | sprinkmeier: Dude I havent used windows in years just using it as an example in hopes that you would understand my question and have an answer so there is no need to be rude just tell me you dont know how to do that... Thanks anyway | 03:34 |
| _VIM_ | or some other compositing window manager | 03:34 |
| spill | _VIM_: cool, I'll check it out, I'm runing compiz now anyways. | 03:34 |
| _VIM_ | spill you'll love it | 03:34 |
| whitedoor | "ACPI: failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon" | 03:34 |
| jeeves | has anyone found a way of getting Kismet to work with an Intel 3945ABG card? | 03:34 |
| planetbeing | One more try: No one has a comment about my MacBookAir1,2 issue? Any idea where I can get help with my issue? | 03:34 |
| narothepharoh | so does anybody know a way to burn a mp3 cd with more than the typical 80 minutes of songs? | 03:35 |
| cdm10 | narothepharoh: an mp3 CD should have way more than 80 minutes on it... | 03:35 |
| cdm10 | 80 minutes is like a standard audio CD. | 03:35 |
| _VIM_ | spill make sure you get the cairo themes though, the one by default is kinda plain | 03:35 |
| nightrid3r | narothepharoh burn it as a data cd not as audio | 03:35 |
| cdm10 | narothepharoh: how are you burning? | 03:35 |
| Comrade-Sergei | test | 03:35 |
| Titan8990 | Comrade-Sergei, working | 03:36 |
| sprinkmeier | narothepharoh, yes, burn it as a data cd. the problem seems to be that your car player cannot read/understand them, so maybe the question is "how do I format a data CD which happens to hold MP3's so that my car player can read it?" | 03:36 |
| spill | _VIM_: k, thanks, screenshots look sweet. | 03:36 |
| narothepharoh | cdm10: I am using k3b and yes i understand that | 03:36 |
| Titan8990 | Comrade-Sergei, in the future, you can use !test | 03:36 |
| ecret | hmw : http://pastebin.com/m4f3a06a2 | 03:36 |
| Titan8990 | !test | Comrade-Sergei | 03:36 |
| MSabino-ubuntu | narothepharoh, burn as a data cd... just burn the files to disc as you would any other group of files... the mp3 player will find the files in the root of the cd, and play them | 03:36 |
| ubottu | Comrade-Sergei: sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. | 03:36 |
| fearful | Titan8990: hey | 03:36 |
| Titan8990 | fearful, hiya | 03:36 |
| jeeves | has anyone found a way of getting Kismet to work with an Intel 3945ABG card? | 03:36 |
| narothepharoh | ok sprinkmeier how do i do that?? | 03:37 |
| Titan8990 | fearful, was helping you before I went to work, right? | 03:37 |
| sprinkmeier | narothepharoh, look at the MP3 CD you burns in windows and try to duplicate the format. | 03:37 |
| ubp123 | most car player using another os of like tron..while your ubuntu imitatind debian ? lol | 03:37 |

| Brando753 | anyone know why i cant get my mic on my hp laptop to work with ubuntu ;( | 03:37 |
| zelrikriando | ubp123, ? | 03:37 |
| storbeck | java: mysql -u java -p then type in your password when it prompts you for it | 03:38 |
| nightrid3r | java did you create a mysqluser 'java' | 03:38 |
| ubp123 | skip it..oops zelrikriando | 03:38 |
| MagicDuck | hi, I need to install the nvidia 173.14.16 from jaunty (it contains a fix that makes KDE4 work better from what I hear). How would I go about that. I am currently running interpid. | 03:38 |
| hmw | ecret: please pastebin the file /usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh (you can install pastebinit) | 03:38 |
| _VIM_ | MagicDuck: bad idea | 03:38 |
| dieselsmoke | java: use the -p flag | 03:38 |
| kitche | MagicDuck: have to install the driver by hand use envy-ng if you must | 03:39 |
| MagicDuck | envy-ng does not have it | 03:39 |
| kitche | MagicDuck: then go to the nvidia site download the driver and compile with the kernel header sources | 03:40 |
| java | nightrid3r no i didnt | 03:40 |
| ecret | hmw : http://pastebin.com/m7e4d09c1 | 03:40 |
| MagicDuck | I just thought there was an easier way using the binaries from jaunty | 03:41 |
| nightrid3r | java create the user like storbeck said | 03:41 |
| kitche | MagicDuck: different kernel versions | 03:41 |
| casinowarren | what sudo text do i use to access my root permissions in kubuntu? | 03:41 |
| storbeck | casinowarren: sudo -i | 03:41 |
| casinowarren | thanks | 03:42 |
| Brando753 | anyone know why i cant get my mic on my hp laptop to work with ubuntu ;( | 03:42 |
| storbeck | Brando753: Maybe it's not plugged in | 03:42 |
| Brando753 | its built in the laptop | 03:42 |
| casinowarren | and that allows me to access the root folder and make changes to my shared files, like gimp and fonts | 03:42 |
| Brando753 | and works fine with windows | 03:42 |
| storbeck | Maybe you have the wrong drivers | 03:42 |
| Brando753 | maby, were would a get a driver for my kaptops mike | 03:43 |
| maxagaz | should "aptitude full-upgrade" replace "aptitude upgrade" and "aptitude dist-upgrade" ? | 03:43 |
| storbeck | Brando753: If you continue asking generic questions, I'm not going to be able to help you | 03:43 |
| java | nightrid3r java@rewati-laptop:~$ mysql -u java -p | 03:43 |
| java | Enter password: | 03:43 |
| java | ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'java'@'localhost' (using password: YES) | 03:43 |
| dieselsmoke | Brando753: right click volume, preferences, options, choose mic input, may work. | 03:43 |
| storbeck | Brando753: What kind of driver is it? Have you configured it? What distro are you on? etc etc | 03:44 |
| java | nightrid3r i didnt made any user | 03:44 |
| storbeck | Err, version* I'd hope you're on ubuntu :P | 03:44 |
| niku | maxagaz, there's a do-release-upgrade that's the newish way to do it. iirc | 03:44 |
| java | storbeck yeah its ubuntu | 03:45 |
| gaintsura | how do I mark a package for install/delete/update/upgrade in aptitude textmode? | 03:45 |
| Brando753 | alright, i have a pavilion entertainment dv5 pc, i am running ubuntu 8.10. i have not manually installed any drivers. this mike is intergrated as part of a camera built into the laptop, the camera works but the mike dosent :P | 03:45 |
| storbeck | java: That is not really an ubuntu specific question. You might want to try #mysql | 03:45 |
| nightrid3r | java lemme check | 03:45 |
| maxagaz | !do-release-upgrade | 03:45 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:45 |
| java | nightrid3r ok thanks | 03:45 |
| kitche | java: you do not have a mysql user named java | 03:45 |
| java | kitche no | 03:46 |
| java | kitche how to make that | 03:46 |
| nightrid3r | java http://crunchbang.org/archives/2008/04/17/create-mysql-user-accounts-from-the-command-line/ | 03:46 |

| Brando753 | alsa? | 03:47 |
| hmw | ecret: sorry, I can't see anything in the log. You probably messed up your system with the mentioned installs, you did recently. Maybe uninstalling helps. | 03:47 |

| RPS | did you visit the link I posted? | 03:54 |
| storbeck | mezquitale: If you would have actually read it, you would have seen this link http://www.muru.com/linux/omap/devices/ | 03:54 |
| gaintsura | RPS: yes | 03:54 |
| RPS | it makes more sense in the correct context | 03:54 |
| Absolute0 | Does synaptics use aptitude or apt-get? | 03:54 |
| gaintsura | RPS: indeed, so the vboxusers group is a group of users who will have access to the virtualboxes | 03:55 |
| crdlb | Absolute0: it uses libapt | 03:55 |
| Absolute0 | oh | 03:55 |
| mezquitale | storbeck, sorry, i didnt have the patience for that, my phone just died today, i could never get it to work with ubuntu anyway, this time i am getting a phone that works with ubuntu so i never have to boot up to redmond ever again | 03:55 |
| gaintsura | RPS: you can either make that group its own group or use an existing group as specified by cat /etc/group from the terminal | 03:55 |
| Absolute0 | crdlb: I've been told not to mix the two together | 03:55 |
| crdlb | Absolute0: which two? | 03:55 |
| Absolute0 | So I am curious what to use in the console to undo what synaptics did | 03:56 |
| Absolute0 | crdlb: apt-get and aptitude | 03:56 |
| RPS | gaintsura, I'm lost bud | 03:56 |
| storbeck | All three use libapt, apt-get, aptitude, synaptic | 03:56 |
| crdlb | I would guess synaptic is closer to apt-get in behavior | 03:56 |
| crdlb | but that's just a guess | 03:57 |

| pieces | yow|5570, still says a panel is already running | 04:24 |
| storbeck | armence: I don't follow. Root by default is the only administrator | 04:25 |
| Brando753 | any ideas anyone? | 04:25 |

| marsh | ploom: yes but not on ubuntu | 04:38 |
| n2diy | dieselsmoke, waste vegetable oil | 04:38 |
| ploom | marsh, even in ubuntu. good drivers have debian packages ready for downloading there | 04:38 |
| marsh | does windows drivers work on ubuntu? | 04:38 |
| dieselsmoke | n2diy: i wouldnt put that stuff in a 50,000 engine myself | 04:39 |
| marsh | my model.. Obvious Glaive RT-560 | 04:39 |
| ploom | marsh, usually there is no use from windows drivers on ubuntu (except certain parts of wireless drivers for example) | 04:39 |

| n2diy | dieselsmoke, 50,000 what? Dollars or miles? Haven't played with it myself, yet, but I'm looking at it. | 04:40 |
| balrog__ | IdentifyTarget: i know this is not answering your question, but in my opinion, raid0 is dangerous. | 04:40 |
| dieselsmoke | n2diy: $50,000 us dollar engine | 04:40 |
| IdentifyTarget | yea yea | 04:40 |
| SchighSchagh | balrog__: you probably need to install openssh (sudo apt-get install openssh) on the compy running off the live CD. | 04:40 |
| n2diy | dieselsmoke, Wow, think I could get half that for my VW Jetta? :) | 04:41 |
| IdentifyTarget | what kind of Jetta? | 04:41 |
| n2diy | IdentifyTarget, 86 diesel | 04:42 |
| balrog__ | SchighSchagh: agreed, and ive already done that. but when i try to ssh to the ip address of that comp (effectively as root), i am prompted for a password. anybody know what the livecd username is and its password? | 04:42 |
| IdentifyTarget | how much do you want for it? | 04:42 |
| IdentifyTarget | $50k US? | 04:42 |
| tritium | Stay on topic, please. | 04:43 |
| ploom | marsh, fanless touch-screen systems in general are like lego. lsusb is result is generally more usful, when you know that the touchscreen is connected to usb. otherwise it has dedicated com serial port | 04:43 |
| n2diy | IdentifyTarget, 20,000 | 04:43 |
| IdentifyTarget | you must not be in the US. Here a diesel that old would be < $5k US | 04:43 |
| dieselsmoke | IdentifyTarget: big trucks /end ot | 04:43 |
| SchighSchagh | balrog__: ah, right the password. try things such as "root" "toor" "ubuntu" "password", etc... | 04:43 |
| SchighSchagh | also, maybe you can use passwd to set the password to whatever you want? | 04:43 |

| yva | Hi I've tried to unzip a huge file and it failed (not enough disk space) but now my disk is full and I don't know how to fix that | 04:45 |
| egaudet | SchighSchagh, sorry not alternative but workaround or something | 04:45 |
| ploom | marsh, windows driver might help when you have operated the pos under windows and then remembered to look for the touch screen connection method (usb or serial) and/or model. hope it helps. | 04:45 |
| yva | (the disk is so full that I cannot even open thunderbird) | 04:45 |
| egaudet | I would love to be able to watch some shows online and I do not have access to windows nor mac | 04:45 |
| dieselsmoke | tlchack5: apt-cache search idle or correct package name search python maybe | 04:45 |
| egaudet | I've tried wine firefox but can't get the video working | 04:46 |
| tlchack5 | yva: this might be a long way around but you could back up your files onto a flasdrive or other medium then reinstal linux wich should re-partition your drive and erase the incomplete data | 04:46 |
| dieselsmoke | egaudet: i watch hulu etc w/firefox | 04:46 |

| gaintsura | could someone possibly help walk RPS along, he's in the right direction, but doesn't understand virtualbox for crap =) | 04:48 |
| egaudet | dieselsmoke, are you running firefox under wine? | 04:48 |
| dieselsmoke | egaudet: firefox/hardy/ x86_64 | 04:48 |
| yva | in fact if I got to / and try to see the size of all my dir I've got 7Gig while the disk is 14Gig and say it's full with df | 04:48 |
| dieselsmoke | egaudet: no wine | 04:49 |
| ploom | marsh, look for touch screen manufacturer. usually you will find drivers from their site. Otherwise you could contac the provider of the POS itself too | 04:49 |
| yva | how is it possible that I do not see them? | 04:49 |
| computer_ | rps, ok | 04:49 |
| sudobash | any idea on open tty on Xserver? | 04:49 |

| SchighSchagh | I am experiencing a very peculiar phenomenon when using OpenGL to help render and display movies: all the colors are shifted around the color wheel (eg, red becomes blue, but white stays white). does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? my only workaround right now is to force VLC to not use OpenGL acceleration | 04:49 |

| miyako | hello. I found a bug where trying to generate a thumbnail for an SVG causes nautilus to crash (hardy, 32bit) and I was wondering if someone could tell me where I should report the bug, the gnome project, libsvg, and ubuntu bug reports all seem like good possible candidates | 04:52 |

| Tiron | Here's a great one...never used any sort of Linux before, installed Ubuntu Ibex 8.10 yesterday as much as anything just to play around with it...worked for three hours or so. Right up until I made the apparently horrible mistake of trying to install the recommended 177 drivers for my GeForce 6800GTs... been getting nothing but command prompt on boot since. As I don't know the commands yet, I'm reduced to rebooting, looking up a few to try, t | 04:53 |

| miyako | thanks n2diy | 04:53 |

| meebo | hi all | 04:55 |
| RPS | I'm 600 miles away from home for the winter and I want to install XP in virtual box ...which version do guys think I should DL? there are plenty of options to choose from and I figure there may be a better choice. I can't remember what version I already have installed on the other partition (if that makes any difference) since I have never used it. | 04:55 |
| coreyman | !version | 04:55 |
| ploom | marsh, the alternative for asking is just to "reverse engineer" the pos. So that you open it and see from inside (as the last resort). Usually windows drivers are enough to reveal driver manufacturer, ang there you can find linux versions too (at least in binary form, compiled against a certain version of kernel) | 04:55 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 04:55 |
| rdw200169 | RPS, what version of VirtualBox or what version of windows? | 04:56 |
| RPS | windows | 04:56 |

| rdw200169 | RPS, well, I know that SP2 works alright, i dunno about sp3, but i don't see why it, too, wouldn't work | 04:56 |
| marsh | ploom: i get you man, that gave me an idea, thanks a lot | 04:57 |
| Tiron | darn. I'm lost as heck at this point, 'cause I'm frankly not sure what the problem even is...or how to find out, for that matter... I do know fiddling with the xorg.conf doesn't seem to affect it... | 04:57 |
| IdentifyTarget | when I'm using command line, and I pipe user% foobar | pipetext.txt does that capture stderr also? | 04:57 |
| tlchack5 | dieselsmoke: sorry im a noob to linux... how do i check repos? | 04:57 |
| RPS | I bought this laptop to run ubuntu only and it came with XP on it and I can;t remember if it is home or pro, but that should make a difference then? | 04:57 |
| marsh | ploom: i'll see if can still find a driver and then try you're idea which for sure will work | 04:57 |
| Titan8990 | IdentifyTarget, no | 04:57 |

| sophia | what is the difference between "BENCHMARKs and BENCHMARK%"? | 04:58 |
| Titan8990 | IdentifyTarget, have to do something like 2&>1 for stderr | 04:58 |
| IdentifyTarget | Titan8990: would this capture stderr? foobr 2>&1 | text.txt | 04:58 |
| sophia | anyone knows? | 04:58 |
| Titan8990 | IdentifyTarget, that looks right but I don't recall the exact syntax | 04:58 |
| IdentifyTarget | ty | 04:59 |
| Tiron | I'd just up and reinstall except I'm learning tons trying to fix the thing, heh... | 04:59 |

| dbbolton | dieselsmoke can you put more if some are inside a logical partition? | 05:03 |

| tlchack5 | dieselsmoke: i have 5 tabs {ubuntu software, third-party software, updates, authentication, statistics} and i cant find where repos is... and what are repos? | 05:03 |
| Titan8990 | armence, user is a variable, thats why I made it all caps | 05:03 |
| ploom | dbbolton, four? One of them can be extended partition | 05:03 |
| dieselsmoke | dbbolton: yes i believe so, logical or extended | 05:03 |
| sophia | n2diy: one is time taken and another one is Cpu usage..? | 05:03 |
| Titan8990 | armence, replace USER with your username | 05:03 |
| Tiron | you could create an extended partition and put logicals inside that...but then you can only have three primaries... | 05:03 |

| jtaji | dieselsmoke: there are some complex changes you can make using that notation which octal does not help with | 05:47 |
| Until_It_Sleeps | Ah, so the same as Microsoft's command prompt? | 05:47 |
| dieselsmoke | jtaji: duley noted, thanks! | 05:47 |

| ectospasm | Comrade-Sergei: have you examined the output of "ssh -vvv -l <user> <IP address>" | 06:34 |
| ectospasm | ? | 06:34 |
| Flannel | jimmygoon: Do you care if your home folder is under the old username? If not, it's trivial. If so, it requires you to rename that folder (either from another user, or recovery console) | 06:35 |
| nanotube | jimmygoon: but have to change homedir name manually after that.... | 06:35 |
| ectospasm | so no one has any experience with Vuze? | 06:35 |
| Comrade-Sergei | ectospasm, what should it be? | 06:35 |
| ximal | anyone here know why I wouldn't be given priveleges under phpmyadmin ? i'm trying to change my admin password yet it is telling me No Privileges to create alter or delete user info | 06:35 |
| jimmygoon | Flannel, nanotube, I've got root so I can do that | 06:35 |
| Flannel | jimmygoon: that'd be usermod -l (or --login) | 06:35 |
| ectospasm | Comrade-Sergei: that verbose output should give you more information as to why it's closing the connection. | 06:35 |
| nanotube | Flannel: too late :) | 06:36 |
| ximal | also I am not loading an MCRYPT extension which I am clueless about | 06:36 |
| jimmygoon | it just tells me that the new username doesn't exist? | 06:36 |
| jimmygoon | do I have to create that user first? | 06:36 |
| Flannel | jimmygoon: and then you move the homedir (as far as the user stuff is concerned) with -d (with -m) | 06:36 |
| Flannel | jimmygoon: What syntax are you using? | 06:36 |
| jimmygoon | logged in with user: "mickens" | 06:37 |

| balrog__ | how do i archive a folder across multiple DVDs? | 06:37 |
| Comrade-Sergei | ectospasm, and im 99% sure i did the port forwarding right | 06:37 |
| ectospasm | Comrade-Sergei: what interface is sshd listening on? | 06:37 |
| Comrade-Sergei | ectospasm, eth1 | 06:38 |
| ectospasm | it's not limiting connections to your LAN, is it? | 06:38 |
| ectospasm | meaning it closes the connection for stuff outside the LAN. | 06:38 |
| Dryice | bah why can't I access my rkhunter.log ? | 06:38 |
| Comrade-Sergei | ectospasm, id assume it is, it will work on the LAN | 06:38 |

| jimmygoon | usermod: user cole does not exist | 06:39 |
| Flannel | jimmygoon: usermod -l newlogin oldlogin | 06:39 |
| nanotube | balrog__: tar might have an option to break it up into multiple chunks.... "man tar" for details... maybe "--multi-volume" is what you're looking for.... | 06:39 |
| ectospasm | Comrade-Sergei: I'd examine your sshd_config, but beyond that I don't know. | 06:39 |

( rephrazed for better question understanding ??? ) | 06:40 |
| omshanti- | hehe thanks :) | 06:41 |
| ectospasm | Comrade-Sergei: this is where you need to consult "man sshd_config" | 06:41 |
| jimmygoon | Flannel, how does the second command know to affect the oldlogin home folder? | 06:41 |
| Flannel | jimmygoon: -m means move, so it should move. (well, it'll likely just rename the old foldername to the new one) | 06:41 |
| jimmygoon | Flannel, okay, so I should re-visudo to make the username change in there as well? | 06:42 |
| Comrade-Sergei | ectospasm, but id be shooting blind, i havent the faintest idea of what im looking for here | 06:42 |
| Flannel | jimmygoon: sudo doesn't use usernames. So, no you don't need to do that. | 06:42 |
| ectospasm | Comrade-Sergei: I can't help you if you're not willing to read the manual. | 06:42 |
| Flannel | jimmygoon: At least, not by default. If you've made changes to sudoers, that's something you'll need to do, yes. | 06:42 |
| jimmygoon | Flannel, but for granting a regular user access to sudo... I thought you had to add to it | 06:42 |

| nanotube | joejc: it can show you all the details of the requests that the browser sends out. | 06:58 |
| nanotube | shams: depends on what software you use to make pdf... | 06:58 |
| joejc | would it be possible to spoof what it sends? | 06:59 |

| slytherin | crdlb: I installed intrepid yesterday on a laptop and then it failed to boot (kernel panic). Turns out that modules ath_pci and ath_hal needed to be blacklisted. I am wondering why they were not blacklisted by default. | 07:05 |

| illbeatu | o | 07:11 |
| Dextl | nanotube: all I really know about keys is that they are used for security/encryption reasons and that I need one so I can set up a vpn with my friend. I don't really get how to make them and how they work exactly | 07:11 |
| nanotube | hippie: heh well... sorry? :) | 07:11 |

| nanotube | Dextl: what did you use to create the key? | 07:12 |
| TheMoop | Is there something that would compare to K9copy for GNOME ? | 07:13 |
| Dextl | nanotube: ssh | 07:13 |

| nanotube | Dextl: ah ok, so you created the key, and saved it where? in ~/.ssh, ? | 07:13 |
| nanotube | hippie: yea, it generates both | 07:13 |
| CosmiChaos | nanotube: hey deactivating all plugins and reactivating as well as uninstalling no more needed and not upgradable (3.0.6) ;) that fixed it | 07:13 |

| TheMoop | nanotube, Yes, but it runs slow | 07:14 |

| TheMoop | nanotube, 1.8 GHz dual core | 07:15 |
| TheMoop | 2 GBs of RAM | 07:15 |
| nanotube | Dextl: well, ssh generates both keys, public and private, at the same time. so wherever you saved the private key, the public key should be sitting right next to it there. | 07:15 |
| TheMoop | 500 GB HD , 128 video card (don't play many games) | 07:15 |

| Dykam | why doesn't it work without.. | 07:22 |
| nanotube | Dykam: ah there it is :) | 07:22 |
| nanotube | because that dir is not in your default search path | 07:22 |
| nanotube | Dykam: so the shell doesn't look for executables there by default. | 07:22 |
| === |Azzco| is now known as Azzco | ||
| Dykam | but I'm right in that dir... must be a difference with windows | 07:22 |
| nanotube | Dykam: if you add "." to your PATH it will. but that's generally not a great idea. | 07:22 |
| Dykam | hehe | 07:23 |
| nanotube | Dykam: so that's not in there by default. | 07:23 |
| === CaTeYe is now known as cateye | ||
| nanotube | Dykam: and the shell only does exactly what you tell it to. so "." isn't there, so it won't look there. :) | 07:23 |

| Kartagis | coughcoughchmod +x coughcough | 07:23 |
| Dykam | Kartagis, not? | 07:23 |
| Dykam | already done '¬¬ | 07:24 |
| nanotube | Dextl: well, encryption works as follows: you encrypt with someone's public key, send it to them, and only they can decrypt it because only they have the private key | 07:24 |
| Dykam | export flashplayer=/opt/flexsdk/runtimes/player/10/lnx/flashplayer -> doesn't allow me to use flashplayer as a command | 07:24 |
| TheMoop | slytherin, It seems to be working okie dokey, I'll let it go and see what happens | 07:25 |
| nanotube | Dextl: signing works in reverse. person encrypts something with their /private/ key, which can only be decrypted with a public key. so, then if you can decrypt something with that person's public key, than means that whoever sent it had access to the private key - and therefore, is the person in question. so it's a form of identity checking. | 07:25 |

| nanotube | Dextl: say you have a public key which claims to be from john doe? how do you know it really is him, and not bob? well, if there's a chain of trust from you to johndoes key, then you can know. say, you know mike, who knows kevin, who knows john. so kevin signs john's key to certify that he knows john and that this is really his key. then mike signs kevins key, and mike you know personally. so thus, a chain of trust is established from yo | 07:30 |

| rww | SpinachHead: flashplugin-nonfree. I think I'm just lucky with it. | 07:33 |
| nanotube | Dextl: yea, xkcd rocks! :) (for the most part... it's kind of a letdown when he just does something randomly weird and not really geeky... ) | 07:34 |
| SpinachHead | it used to work, but then the sound stopped working so I installed libflashsupport which I guess fixes the pulseaudio sound problems, but now it crashes firefox like every other flash movie | 07:34 |

| XPS_M1330 | I installed XFCE to try it out. Then I came back to KDE, and now my OpenOffice is all ugly, seems like it uses XFCE's graphical renderer! The icons have been changed too, for those from XFCE (circle with bird) | 07:37 |
| XPS_M1330 | now I have removed all the XFCE packages (checked all packages in history), but openoffice didn't come back to normal... | 07:37 |

| nanotube | Dextl: indeed it is. :) | 07:38 |
| rww | kc8pxy: umm. 8.04.1 is just 8.04 with updates that you'd get through apt-get anyway, you know. Any particular reason you need one? | 07:38 |
| burcyril10 | wartalker: please explain to me process a little - switch between the two computers is slow | 07:38 |

| ActionParsnip | croppa: sure, when you pair it, use that code | 07:47 |
| croppa | ActionParsnip: I wish it was that simple :-) | 07:48 |

| croppa | In Intrepid you dont get the oppertunity to use a fixed code | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | croppa: theres a conf file where you can specify a code to always use but it willbe used for other stuff to so itsnot secure unless you set that you have to manually accept all data sent | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | croppa: or just change it while you pair that one device, then switch back | 07:49 |

| Spacin | I'm trying to load a script and I can't figure out how | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Spacin: loading a script - not exactly detail | 07:57 |
| Spacin | A colour script | 07:57 |
| crdlb | Zta: feisty is no longer supported | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Spacin: you can RUN a script, you dont load a script | 07:57 |
| croppa | ActionParsnip: That didnt find any files :-( | 07:57 |
| Zta | crdlb, so they just remove it for the planet's surface?? | 07:57 |
| Spacin | Same thing | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | croppa: then its handled by some other file in /etc | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Spacin: then chmod +x <script file> to make it executanle | 07:58 |
| Zta | There's a difference between "not supporting" and "sabotaging". I need some 7.04 packages. | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Spacin: if the script is in your current pwd, use ./<script name> | 07:58 |

| croppa | ok | 07:59 |
| Zta | Anyone know where I can find a 7.04 repo? | 07:59 |
| Daft_Punk | Zta, a mirror perhaps? | 07:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !7.04 | 07:59 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 07:59 |
| Daft_Punk | !eol | 08:00 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 08:00 |
| Zta | Daft_Punk, I was actually hoping the official archive.ubuntu.com would keep them =\ | 08:00 |
| croppa | It seem that it worked ok in hardy | 08:00 |
| Zta | This really sucks. | 08:00 |
| crdlb | Zta: you can change your sources to old-releases.ubuntu.com | 08:00 |
| croppa | Thanks anyway ActionParsnip | 08:00 |
| croppa | I will have to keep looking | 08:00 |
| Zta | crdlb, thanks!!! =) | 08:01 |
| Zta | fantastic | 08:01 |
| Spacin | Damn it.. I'm confused even more... v.v | 08:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Spacin: a script is just a text file with fancy syntax | 08:02 |
| croppa | It seems that changes were made in bluez-gnome | 08:02 |
| Daft_Punk | Zta, no, they wouldnt keep them, its like microsoft not selling obsolete software anymore, ubuntu wont keep obsolete software either, you can check a torrent or mirror site if you want an older version that is no longer supported | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Spacin: if you chmod +x the scriptfile it will make it executable | 08:02 |
| Spacin | How do I do the chmod? | 08:02 |
| Daft_Punk | Spacin, use terminal (CLI) | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Spacin: if the script is in the same folder as your terminal is sat in you have to execute it with ./ to make the shell look in the local folder | 08:03 |
| Daft_Punk | !cli | 08:03 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 08:03 |
| Zta | Daft_Punk, That's a crappy policy. So Ubuntu basically forces people upgrade their computers. This takes time and costs money, and is unnecessary if the server runs fine. Who's going to pay for this? Ubuntu? | 08:03 |
| Spacin | Ok | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Spacin: 3rd time now.... chmod +x <whatever the script is called type it here> | 08:03 |
| Daft_Punk | Zta, ubuntu is free | 08:03 |
| wlsdnrwodnr | 하하 | 08:03 |
| wlsdnrwodnr | 다 미국 사람인가? | 08:04 |
| hippie | Daft_Punk, time is money :) | 08:04 |
| wlsdnrwodnr | hi~ | 08:04 |
| Daft_Punk | hippie, well i wish I was being paid to be here :p | 08:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Spacin: if your terminal is not in the same folder as the script you will have to specify the path to it | 08:04 |
| Zta | Daft_Punk, you don't get my point | 08:04 |
| wlsdnrwodnr | why | 08:04 |
| iGmail | wlsdnrwodnr: only English here. | 08:04 |
| wlsdnrwodnr | no | 08:04 |
| hippie | Daft_Punk, look at it this way: it costs money in lost productivity :) | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Zta: it doesnt force them to upgrade at all, you can run fluxbuntu or xubuntuon some very old hardware | 08:05 |
| wlsdnrwodnr | 영어는 어려워 | 08:05 |
| bindaas | Draft_Punk:ubuntu is free but unnecessary upgrades costs time/money | 08:05 |
| Zta | ActionParsnip, I'm running a server. | 08:05 |
| Daft_Punk | Zta, hippie if you want ubuntu 7.04 you can download it off a mirror or torrent | 08:05 |
| _ruben | running a server on deprecated software is, well, stupid | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Zta: even better, no x server | 08:05 |
| hippie | _ruben, tell that to the debian guys ;) | 08:06 |
| Daft_Punk | Zta, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/ | 08:06 |

| Riya | what is the use of wifiradar | 08:06 |
| _ruben | hippie: atleast that'd be supported deprecated software :) | 08:06 |
| Daft_Punk | Zta, ok so what is the problem? | 08:06 |
| Zta | Daft_Punk, I'm just trying to get my point though to you =) | 08:06 |
| === savvas_ is now known as savvas | ||
| Riya | fi5e what is wifi radar pkg | 08:07 |
| Daft_Punk | Zta, as far as I understand, you asked a question, you got the resolution you required, and you are trying to banter because of principle? | 08:07 |
| kkb110 | . | 08:07 |
| kkb110 | hi | 08:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Zta: its fOSS which has zero warranty and zero SLA, they could turn off all the repos and theres nothing youo can do | 08:07 |
| rww | Zta: Your server is running an unsupported operating system that is not getting security updates. Ubuntu can't provide security and other updates for every single release it does, way back into the past, they don't have resources for it. | 08:07 |
| rww | Zta: unless you think it'll be awesome when one of those security holes that your server didn't get patched is used to exploit it, it'd probably be wise for you to upgrade. | 08:08 |
| Zta | rww, I'm not asking for any of that. I just want access to the latest packages for that release. I need some extra packages. | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Zta: they choose to stop supporting the old versions as if it runs say 50 years then there will be aboout 100 old versions of ubuntu to make packages for the first couple incase some guy is still running it | 08:08 |
| Zta | rww, I do understand why it's smart to upgrade. | 08:08 |
| Daft_Punk | Zta, there are no latest patches/upgrades for that OS, it is dead. | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Zta: you can freely compile stuff | 08:09 |
| Zta | Daft_Punk, There's *always* a latest packages. | 08:09 |
| Zta | ActionParsnip, oh please, don't sabotage the discussion with this crap. | 08:09 |
| Daft_Punk | Zta, not in the repos or synaptic, you would have to compile it yourself | 08:09 |
| Spacin | No such file or directory | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Zta: why, its a fact | 08:09 |
| crdlb | this is not a discussion channel ... | 08:09 |
| Daft_Punk | ActionParsnip, perhaps, create a factoid :P | 08:09 |
| Zta | Daft_Punk, I'm not talking about the software developers latest version -- I'm talking about the latest version Ubuntu released. | 08:10 |
| crdlb | as long as Zta is fully aware that his machine should never be connected to the Internet, I think we can move one | 08:10 |
| crdlb | on* | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !compile | Daft_Punk | 08:10 |
| ubottu | Daft_Punk: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ;) | 08:10 |
| rww | Daft_Punk: replace "latest" with "last" in Zta's messages. Woohoo, problem solved. | 08:10 |
| Daft_Punk | ActionParsnip, i meant a factoid for Zta's concern of using an old os with no support | 08:10 |
| Zta | rww, yeah whatever | 08:10 |
| Daft_Punk | lol | 08:10 |
| rww | Zta: That was pointing out Daft_Punk's pickiness, not a criticism of you. | 08:11 |
| Daft_Punk | :O | 08:11 |
| Zta | rww, ok =) | 08:11 |

| rww | Spacin: (they wouldn't work at all in this channel, for example) | 08:36 |
| Pepelargo | joaopinto, I am trying to add new text and PDFEDIT doesnt allow me | 08:36 |
| joaopinto | :\ | 08:36 |
| Spacin | Is there anywhere to find ones compatible with ubuntu? | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | !info pdfedit | 08:36 |
| ubottu | pdfedit (source: pdfedit): Editor for manipulating PDF documents. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.1-2 (intrepid), package size 2481 kB, installed size 7564 kB | 08:36 |
| rww | Spacin: http://digdilem.org/irc/ seems to be the most popular one for XChat. | 08:37 |
| adantan_alex | is there a possible way to install ubuntu inside windows on another drive and add it to the boot loader? | 08:37 |
| Spacin | Ok | 08:37 |
| kraut | moin | 08:37 |
| Pepelargo | I repeat, I don't have anyproblem installing PDFEDIT, in fact it is already working in my machine, the problem is that the linealized files are not supported | 08:37 |
| ziroday | adantan_alex: inside windows? | 08:37 |
| adantan_alex | as a windows application.. | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | adantan_alex: you can install ubuntu on the other drive then windows will be added to grubs config | 08:37 |
| rww | Spacin: by the way, if you add scripts to XChat that talk in-channel or message other people automatically, please diasable them in this and other Ubuntu channels (they're against the !guidelines) | 08:38 |
| adantan_alex | never mind.. | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | adantan_alex: if you install ubuntu within linux you will be running a virtual system | 08:38 |
| Pepelargo | It is a fact: PDFEdit won't "edit" linearized pdfs | 08:38 |
| Spacin | Ohh ok | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | adantan_alex: or theres wubi | 08:38 |
| Mark^^ | hi, i was trying to get vncserver working-then suddenly it seems my xserver crashed/died? i cant load anything just get 'cannot connect to display errors# | 08:39 |

| ActionParsnip | dmesg | less is a good start | 08:40 |

| rurouni27 | :o i cant get ubuntu to boot up, it keeps on comming up with ata1.00 error messages | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | rurouni27: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify the burned disk was correct on the first bootup screen? | 08:43 |
| rurouni27 | i can still boot into a windows partition so i know that my hd hasnt crashed | 08:43 |
| rurouni27 | iv already installed it, and this just happened out of nowhere | 08:43 |
| rurouni27 | iv tried fsck but the results are strange | 08:44 |
| Sepero | rurouni27: Are the errors "IO" errors? | 08:44 |
| corinth | Anyone know the command that the show desktop applet uses? | 08:45 |
| rurouni27 | probly, "[...] ata1.00: status: {drdy err} /n [...] ata1.00: error: {unc} \n ... : exception emask 0x.... \n ...bdma stat ... \n ...cmd ..." | 08:47 |
| adantan_alex | ? | 08:47 |
| Sepero | rurouni27: It is a sign of a harddrive failure if you get errors that say "IO" or "short read" | 08:47 |
| rurouni27 | it doesnt say that | 08:47 |
| Sepero | rurouni27: good | 08:47 |
| rurouni27 | yes! | 08:47 |
| rurouni27 | i dont mind starting again but i want to get like a few files that i havnt got recent copies of | 08:48 |
| * Spacin can't find any colour scripts.. oh well. Thanks for the help though! | 08:48 | |
| Sepero | corinth: I have no idea. Any special reason? | 08:49 |
| rurouni27 | its a kernel error, and i cant find it anywhere | 08:49 |
| FireBad | Is DVD95 and DVDShrink in WINE the only options besides KDE's k9copy? | 08:49 |
| rurouni27 | when i tried fsck on gentoo min cd it also came up with the same kernel errors | 08:50 |
| === mib_176irsh0 is now known as Roland_ | ||
| corinth | Supero: None of your business! | 08:51 |
| Sepero | rurouni27: I'm not saying it's not a harddrive error. Just that it isn't one I'm used to seeing. I'm only used to working with ide drives. | 08:51 |
| corinth | J/k :-P | 08:51 |
| rurouni27 | it cant be a physical problem though because i can boot up in windows | 08:52 |
| Sepero | rurouni27: So I wouldn't rule it out 100%, but I think your odds of a bad install have increased | 08:52 |
| Pepelargo | After 9 months using exclusively Ubuntu in for my work (even the rest of the people in the office is using XP and laughing at me)...I have to say that I could do everything I used to do before and much more, but only one bad point: So far I haven't found an email tool that works 100% corerct with exchange, Evoultion has lacks of options and get stuck, Thunderbird only thourhgt IMAP and no calendar, and very slow...nothing more. | 08:52 |
| Ficthe | hi. I plan to be installing ubuntu on an imac g5. I believe it's got the intel chip now, so the regular iso (that's also used for installation on PC's) should work on the imac g5, correct? | 08:52 |
| corinth | Sepero: I want to create a custom applet for show desktop. I don't like the box around the icon for the panel applet. I want to set a custom icon for it, too. | 08:52 |
| rurouni27 | it was running fine for like a week | 08:52 |
| FireBad | !dvdcopy | 08:52 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dvdcopy | 08:52 |
| rurouni27 | actualy this has been running for quite a few months | 08:52 |
| Ficthe | Pepelargo, if nothing settles it - you can perhaps try outlook (or whatever the alternative was, that was working for you on windows) with Wine | 08:53 |
| Sepero | rurouni27: Most harddrives don't start having errors everywhere on the disk at once. Often the errors start in a localized area. | 08:53 |
| rww | Ficthe: iMac G5s use the G5 CPU, which is PowerPC, not Intel. The latest iMac (which is not a G5) uses an Intel processor. | 08:53 |
| rurouni27 | Sepero: is there any way i can get anything off it | 08:53 |
| Pepelargo | Ficthe, yes, I am using codeblokers with Outlook 2003, but it is a pity to still need sticking on a Microsoft tool | 08:54 |
| Sepero | rurouni27: Use a LiveCD? | 08:54 |
| Ficthe | rww, oh really, hrm. so I would have to use the powerpc disc then, eh... just out of curioisity, are there any other linux distros that provide images for the powepc? | 08:54 |
| Pepelargo | But I just have to say that I am very happy with my UBuntu, and I wouldn't go back to Xp again | 08:54 |
| rww | Ficthe: I'm not sure. Back when the iMac G5 first came out, if was very poorly supported by Linux. I sold mine a while ago, and am not sure of its status now. | 08:55 |
| holyguyver | How do I fix this Bash:alsa reload lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/jack/.gvfs Output information may be incomplete. | 08:55 |
| Sepero | corinth: Nice idea. Unfortunately, all I can do right now is suggest google. If you find out, I'd be interested in knowing though. :) | 08:55 |
| rurouni27 | Sepero: i tried gentoo but it was getting the same problems | 08:55 |
| sylis | does Rhythmbox sync with ipods well? | 08:56 |
| Sepero | rurouni27: What do you mean by "get anything off it"? You want to backup the data? | 08:56 |
| Ficthe | rww, to be honest, I'm not completely sure if it's the iMac G5's that I'll be installing on (my school teacher just said I could install on a bunch.. they may possibly be the newers ones, with the intel processor.. I hope they are :)) in any case, thanks -- I'll gogle up as well to see what other alternatives exist | 08:56 |

| FireBad | (They turn blue together) | 08:58 |
| Sepero | rurouni27: Can you access the device/files with a LiveCD? If so, that is the way I would make a backup. | 08:58 |
| sylis | Does Rhythm Box sync well with an ipod | 08:58 |

| slytherin | Mood: what all packages are you installing? | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | rurouni27: logging in as root significantly cripples security | 09:11 |
| Sepero | rurouni27: It says "linux plaintext" on your fdisk -l output? | 09:11 |

| rurouni27 | ActionParsnip: gentoo doesnt have x default and im not connected to the net on that computer | 09:13 |

| slytherin | Mood: do one thing, sudo apt-get --purge autoremove sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre | 09:22 |
| Surlent777 | ActionParsnip: That's kind of what I was thinking. As far as I understand "*.gif" doesn't do much at all using wget, yet google assures me that the -A.gif thing should be the same as /comics/*.gif...I am greatly confused. | 09:22 |

| Mood | slytherin: phew! although i removed ubuntu-restricted-extras, i have a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that there's some garbage lying around somewhere, perhaps some runaway daemons... not sure... | 09:28 |

| hmw | savvas: youre here under this nick often? | 09:32 |
| Sepero | sophia: What you're asking is very weird, because a library may be able to run fast, but what good is that if the media is very lightly compressed? There appears to be too many factors. | 09:32 |
| savvas | hmw: yep, it's registered :) | 09:32 |
| sophia | Sepero: can you please tell me why we turn off dropping frames? | 09:32 |
| savvas | hmw: if you can't find me, /msg memoserv savvas yourmessage and I'll read it - thanks by the way! | 09:32 |
| Sepero | sophia: Because dropping frames causes certain parts of the video to be completely skipped. | 09:33 |
| hmw | savvas: i noted your name and will tell you, if i get something. I can start trying to find that horrible download page again and figure out, how to put the data into the screen saver. (docs say, its possible) | 09:33 |
| hmw | My nickname seems to be registered already. How do I find out, if the registrar is still using the nick name? | 09:33 |
| sophia | Sepero: ok | 09:34 |
| savvas | hmw: /msg nickserv info hmw | 09:34 |
| === Doctor-Steve__ is now known as Mavis | ||
| Sepero | sophia: For example, I have the same media in two formats. Same video, but first format is 10MB, second format is 100MB. Which would you guess is going to run faster? | 09:34 |
| Sepero | sophia: Even if they are both 10MB, one could be lower quality than the other, making a huge difference. | 09:35 |
| hmw | okay, last seen dec'07... i wont get the ops to unlock it for me :(( | 09:35 |
| Sepero | sophia: I'm not saying it isn't a noble thing to try and benchmark though. I just think that you may be in over your head with this project. | 09:37 |
| sylis | Is Rhythmbox good at syncing with an ipod | 09:38 |
| Mood | slytherin: i only installed "gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3" and now Listen works like a charm! thanks! | 09:38 |
| max82fr | Hi everyone | 09:38 |
| max82fr | how are u doing? | 09:38 |
| ziroday | sylis: yes, rhythmbox can sync ipods | 09:38 |
| suzao | greetz. can anyone please help me with simple solution for getting higher resolution with settings for nvidia driver 177 on card 7600gs | 09:39 |
| suzao | ? | 09:39 |
| max82fr | Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install itunes with wine and if it will work with ipod touch?? | 09:39 |
| ziroday | suzao: are you running the nvidia driver? | 09:39 |
| sophia | Sepero: ok i am bit confused regarding my project.. but any how i have to report performance of different libraries. | 09:39 |
| DinkyDogg | suzao, what resolutions does it offer? | 09:39 |
| kr00l | does anyone know of a program that will auto backup files to an external HDD? | 09:39 |
| sylis | well? Or it just does, I've done a little research and seen a few alternatives, but can't really find a review of sorts for them | 09:39 |
| ziroday | max82fr: the old versions of itunes work with wine, but why? | 09:39 |
| ziroday | sylis: well what exactly are you looking for? | 09:40 |
| max82fr | <ziroday>well im trying to setup my ipod touch to work with ubuntu but there s no way | 09:40 |
| ziroday | max82fr: what version of ubuntu? | 09:40 |
| Sepero | sophia: No offense, but I would select another project. I do not think you are going to get results of any value from gnome-mplayer. | 09:40 |
| max82fr | <ziroday> 8.10 i think | 09:40 |
| sylis | mainly a utility that will allow me to create playlists and will sync with my ipod. Rhythmbox looks good, but, I haven't been using it for long enought o know if it's better, and I'd rather try and figure that out now before I go and put all the time and energy into it creating playlists etc and then get told there's a better app out there | 09:41 |
| max82fr | <ziroday> sorry got cut off | 09:41 |
| Sepero | sophia: Acknowledging that you don't know what frame-dropping is, I personally think your experience in this area is much too low. | 09:41 |
| ziroday | max82fr: right, well wine+itunes won't work | 09:41 |
| max82fr | what should i d | 09:42 |
| DinkyDogg | sylis, try amarok | 09:42 |
| max82fr | <ziroday>what should i do? | 09:42 |
| sylis | will do | 09:42 |
| ziroday | max82fr: one sec | 09:42 |
| suzao | can anyone please help me with simple solution for getting higher resolution with settings for nvidia driver 177 on card 7600gs | 09:42 |
| max82fr | k | 09:42 |
| ziroday | suzao: are you running the nvidia driver? | 09:42 |
| DinkyDogg | suzao, i already responded to your question. What resolutions is it offering you? | 09:42 |
| ubp123 | why the Rhythmbox being unable to presetting the shoutcast radio at this Unbuntu version.. and why only the ice radio might work well with the streamripper here..i mean the ice radio only but the shoutcast no working in order at ubuntu setting ? | 09:44 |
| ziroday | max82fr: right, basically unless your touch is jailbroken you can't sync it in ubuntu as the apple has changed the database encryption | 09:44 |
| sophia | Sepero: yes i am new to this area since i am a student i need to learn a lot | 09:44 |
| DinkyDogg | wow, they're encryption the database, ziroday ? | 09:44 |
| DinkyDogg | that really sucks | 09:44 |
| DinkyDogg | how completely lame | 09:45 |
| FloodBot1 | DinkyDogg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:45 |
| Nazmi | hi | 09:45 |
| DinkyDogg | another reason never to buy another ipod | 09:45 |
| Nazmi | hi | 09:45 |
| brundy | bonjour | 09:45 |
| ziroday | DinkyDogg: not really, its more of a checksum type thingy. But basically ipod touch = no workie | 09:45 |
| sophia | Sepero: Anyways thanks for your suggestions.. | 09:45 |
| Nazmi | I'm from turkey | 09:45 |
| Sepero | DinkyDogg: Thank you! | 09:45 |
| brundy | somebody in french ? Thanks | 09:45 |
| jimmyspark | Hey can anyone help me - my sound on this desktop has been playing up since i upgraded, i've tried everything, I wanna nuke everything to do with sound and start again. Can anyone help me do that? | 09:45 |
| DinkyDogg | Sepero, no problem, though i'm not sure how i helped you | 09:46 |
| Cyclist | does anyone knows of a tabbed dual-paned file manager for Ubuntu 8.10 [even through emulators like Wine {I have tried ''xplorer2'' under Wine but it does not work...}]? | 09:46 |
| ziroday | !fr | brundy | 09:46 |
| ubottu | brundy: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 09:46 |
| Sepero | sophia: Yeah, I'm sorry I couldn't give you better news. :\ | 09:46 |
| ubp123 | in turkey..most loving the birds like penguins lots lol | 09:46 |
| ziroday | Cyclist: dolphin works | 09:46 |
| brundy | merci | 09:46 |
| Sepero | DinkyDogg: ipod = lame | 09:46 |
| DinkyDogg | ah | 09:46 |
| DinkyDogg | lame indeed | 09:46 |
| Sepero | Somebody had to say it | 09:46 |
| sophia | Sepero: :-) | 09:47 |
| Cyclist | ziroday: is Dolphin the emulator of is it the file manager? | 09:47 |
| ziroday | Cyclist: err dolphin is a dual paned file manager, whats the emulator for? | 09:47 |
| jimmyspark | how do I remove alsa, pulse audio and OSS off my system entirely so i can reinstall them all? | 09:47 |
| Nazmi | 09:47 | |
| Nazmi | you will pardon question | 09:47 |
| ubp123 | hmmm, with your aptitude or apt get remove command doing nothhing ??? | 09:48 |
| Cyclist | ziroday: I mentioned the emulator because it is possible that no such applications currently exist for Ubuntu 8.10 in the repository | 09:48 |
| jimmyspark | ubp123: i remove them that way but then they are still listed in my sound preferences | 09:48 |
| ziroday | Cyclist: well there is, dolphin works and I know there is others :) | 09:49 |
| ubp123 | if you can or ,as far as you could watch the file..you can remove with the rm command with your hands or manually i suppose ? | 09:49 |
| Sepero | jimmyspark: try synaptic. And remember to use the "purge" to wipe the config files too | 09:51 |
| Cyclist | ziroday: another question: is Dolphin also offering tabs? because I know Nautilus works on a dual pane mode [with tabs], but I would rather not use it | 09:51 |
| Sepero | jimmyspark: "purge" option, i mean | 09:51 |
| jimmyspark | cheers Sepero -ill try the purge option | 09:51 |
| mejobloggs | i've put a floppy in the floppy drive but can't see it anywhere. how do i access it? | 09:51 |
| ziroday | Cyclist: not sure if dolphin offers tabs sorry, install it and try it out :) | 09:51 |
| Cyclist | ziroday: thank you | 09:52 |
| ubp123 | using the ubuntu system,,mejobloggs ? | 09:52 |
| jimmyspark | when i try to remove alsa-utils it also removes gdm?! | 09:52 |
| ziroday | mejobloggs: take a look in /media and /dev/floopy or /dev/fd0 | 09:53 |
| mejobloggs | yeah ubuntu | 09:53 |
| slytherin | mejobloggs: floppy module is not loaded by default. try this command - sudo modprobe floppy | 09:53 |
| * Lazeur_ brb | 09:53 | |
| slytherin | jimmyspark: must be some recursive dependency | 09:53 |
| jimmyspark | Sepero: any idea why when i remove also-utils it says it will remove gdm too?! | 09:53 |
| jimmyspark | shall i do it? | 09:53 |
| jimmyspark | and then reinstall gdm? | 09:54 |
| Sepero | jimmyspark: dependacies | 09:54 |
| jimmyspark | here goes nothing | 09:54 |
| Sepero | jimmyspark: dependencies | 09:54 |
| rww | mejobloggs: "sudo modprobe floppy" to activate the floppy module. "sudo nano /etc/modules" and add "floppy" at the end to keep it activated. | 09:54 |
| mivok | when you remove a program with synaptic it shows you the programs are going to be deleted | 09:54 |
| Sepero | jimmyspark: gdm depends on it for some reason | 09:54 |
| ubp123 | since you would agree to remove gdm..perhaps you can use another kde or alternative session system ??? | 09:54 |
| mejobloggs | ok thanks i can see the floppy now | 09:54 |
| IdentifyTarget | can someone help me install lirc 0.8.4a using apt-get? I compiled it and installed on my own but it's not working quite right | 09:55 |
| jimmyspark | ubp123: i don't wanna use kde | 09:55 |
| ubp123 | lol | 09:55 |
| ubp123 | neither.. i am a novice and originally liking gnome lol | 09:56 |
| ziroday | jimmyspark: alsa-utils in an important part of the system, removing it will probably remove a whole bunch of stuff. Why are you removing it anyway? | 09:56 |
| jimmyspark | i've done it now | 09:56 |
| jimmyspark | doing pulse audio too | 09:56 |
| jimmyspark | my sound is totally messed up on this desktop (my work computer) | 09:56 |
| ziroday | jimmyspark: so you decided to randomly delete important sound parts | 09:57 |
| jimmyspark | every morning i come in and i cant play sound, so i have to mess around /sbin/alsa --force-reload etc to get it working | 09:57 |
| jimmyspark | yeah i wanted to nuke the sound and reinstall it from scratch | 09:57 |
| jimmyspark | i've tried everything else | 09:57 |
| ziroday | jimmyspark: I strongly doubt reinstalling the sound system(s) is going to fix your problem. | 09:57 |
| max82fr | <ziroday> sorry got badly cut off | 09:57 |
| max82fr | <ziroday> my XChat Gnome doesn t want to work anymore | 09:58 |
| jimmyspark | reinstalling it all now | 09:58 |
| Sepero | jimmyspark: I have the same thing | 09:58 |
| slytherin | jimmyspark: have you tried changing the sound preferences in System -> Preferences -> Sound? | 09:58 |
| jimmyspark | im sure it's since upgrading to the latest ubuntu... | 09:58 |
| Sepero | jimmyspark: But I always leave my pc running | 09:58 |
| ziroday | max82fr: right, basically unless your touch is jailbroken you can't sync it in ubuntu as apple have changed the database encryption | 09:58 |
| jimmyspark | i don't have these issues with computers running ibex | 09:58 |
| jimmyspark | just jaunty | 09:58 |
| max82fr | <ziroday>it is already jailbroken | 09:58 |
| ziroday | jimmyspark: jaunty is #ubuntu+1 | 09:59 |
| ubp123 | basically.. you have installed the actual sound cards with your new systems lol | 09:59 |
| max82fr | <ziroday>would you please help me going through | 09:59 |
| Sepero | jimmyspark: I have the problem on Intrepid | 09:59 |
| slytherin | jimmyspark: are your packages fully updated? | 09:59 |
| jimmyspark | slytherin: yeah i've tried that, i've tried setting up to use oss, alsa & pulseaudio - this morning the sound control pannel was hanning every time i open it so i just decided enough was enough! | 09:59 |
| rww | jimmyspark: Jaunty is an unsupported developer release. You should be asking about it in #ubuntu+1, not here. | 09:59 |
| ziroday | max82fr: there is some great documentation for already jail broken devices at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone | 09:59 |
| max82fr | <ziroday>worked that out believe me, but nothing worked | 09:59 |
| jimmyspark | oops - i mean the problem is on ibex! | 09:59 |
| max82fr | <ziroday>looking for some real help | 10:00 |
| slytherin | jimmyspark: you may want to check if glitch-free is turned off in /etc/pulse/default.pa | 10:00 |
| slytherin | jimmyspark: check the thread on ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list in last month. | 10:00 |
| ziroday | max82fr: right, have you installed the ipod-convenience package? | 10:00 |
| max82fr | yep | 10:00 |
| max82fr | <ziroday>yep | 10:00 |
| ziroday | max82fr: okay, how about gtkpod? | 10:01 |
| max82fr | <ziroday>have it too, along with amarok | 10:01 |
| Sepero | jimmyspark: If it only happens whenever you boot. You could just put a startup script in that reloads alsa for you. | 10:01 |
| jimmyspark | other guys at work are having sound issues too since upgrading - not as severe as mine but they keep loosing sound playback randomly | 10:01 |
| ziroday | max82fr: okay, connect it via usb and then open a terminal and run ipod-touch-mount | 10:01 |
| jimmyspark | flash seems to cripple the sound too | 10:01 |
| rww | jimmyspark: what's the output of "uname -a"? | 10:01 |
| ubp123 | why the famous amarok needs the ugly stream plugins ? teach me ??? | 10:02 |
| jimmyspark | Sepero: it happens randomly 20 times per day | 10:02 |
| jimmyspark | Linux jimmywork 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux | 10:02 |
| Sepero | jimmyspark: Then I'd make a shortcut to a reload script on my desktop. :) | 10:02 |
| hph_guy | how can I redirect the output of a program like wget to a file and make it run in the background? | 10:02 |
| Sepero | jimmyspark: but yeah, that sucks | 10:02 |
| slytherin | hph_guy: wget url > output.txt & | 10:03 |
| rww | ubp123: certain audio formats, including mp3, are restricted by patents and other problematic stuff. the "ugly" plugins package contains files to help media players play those formats. | 10:03 |
| max82fr | ziroday> it s trying to mount it via wifi as someone tried to help me doing | 10:03 |
| max82fr | ziroday> don t want that. i want USB | 10:03 |
| hph_guy | slytherin: that still prints output to stdout as well as to the file | 10:04 |
| jimmyspark | lol just totally reinstalled still not working.... | 10:04 |
| ziroday | max82fr: err okay, well disable wifi on the ipod then | 10:04 |
| ubp123 | thanks for info, rww, but most geeks.. any formats could be converted to legal acceptable ones without notices ??? | 10:04 |
| max82fr | ziroday> done, do u know what to do to make it work via USB? | 10:04 |
| ziroday | max82fr: well did you try itunnel? | 10:05 |
| ziroday | max82fr: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone#Syncing%20via%20Cable | 10:05 |
| rww | ubp123: no, some can't. Continuing the mp3 example, *all* implementations of mp3 decoding (playing) are covered by various patents, and thus require notice. | 10:05 |
| max82fr | ziroday> nope. I should maybe say that when i plug it, it puts a camera icon on desktop and starts amarok | 10:05 |
| Asyed | hello guys , i've installed ubuntu wubui on my pc with windows vista , the installation done on Drive D | 10:05 |
| max82fr | ziroday> but amarok cant connect to it | 10:06 |
| rww | ubp123: I think one has the patent fee paid for by some organization, but the point still stands. It's a legal thing, not something we can code around. | 10:06 |
| koshar2 | ubp123 true they can be converted but cannot be supplied on the distro disc as it would infringe with laws in some countries | 10:06 |
| Asyed | when i pick ubtuntu during booting i got error msg | 10:06 |
| ziroday | max82fr: take a look at itunnel | 10:06 |
| Asyed | and cant access it , if the installation done on C partion its work other partions not | 10:06 |
| Asyed | any clue ? | 10:06 |
| ubp123 | okie..but to me without notices all mp3 files have been converted to any other mpeg files lol..who accepting instead of me lol | 10:06 |
| max82fr | ziroday> don t understand all that honestly. had ubuntu for 3 days | 10:07 |
| max82fr | ziroday> please help | 10:07 |
| rww | ubp123: do you speak another language as your main language? I could redirect you to a foreign-language support channel that might be able to explain this a little easier... | 10:07 |
| ziroday | max82fr: well I can't help you much, don't have an ipod touch sorry. | 10:07 |
| max82fr | no one has an ipod touch on here?? | 10:08 |
| max82fr | ziroday> on itunnel it explain how to connect it via wifi, not USB | 10:08 |
| ubp123 | no thank you,, because i dont touch any other' s copyrights and not doingwrong at all. lol | 10:08 |
| Sepero | Asyed: It might be a restriction by the bios. I once had a problem like that on a laptop. | 10:08 |
| rww | ubp123: okay. Do you still have a question we can help you with, then? | 10:08 |
| Asyed | Sepero im using laptop too , and how dd you fix it? | 10:09 |

| rhythmsoup | max82fr: thing is though its not really ubuntu's "fault" that iPod touch isnt supported, the vendors should ring-fence in their hardware to certain OSes, but I understand your fustration | 10:29 |
| rhythmsoup | should = shouldnt | 10:29 |

| oCean_ | Stevethepirate: recordmydesktop | 11:05 |

| ghm33 | ActionParsnip, internal | 11:24 |
| Sepero | vfrc: I assume you tried the option "-scodec copy"? | 11:24 |
| BrixSat | ghm33: what do you want is to put your wifi card to work? | 11:24 |
| Sepero | vfrc: To copy the subtitles? | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ghm33: lspci will identify it for oyu | 11:24 |

| Azzco | arvind_khadri, yeah I know. But I can't find any other way to start my games with my headset as output | 11:24 |
| arvind_khadri | Azzco, 8.10 ? | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ghm33: if you get a result from: sudo iwlist scan then its installed ok. if no devices support scanning you will need to find out how to driver it up | 11:25 |
| BrixSat | ghm33: do youy have enabled restricted drivers? | 11:25 |
| vfrc | Sepero: yeah but from my understanding, scodec is asking for a subtitle file as opposed to grabbing a subtitle stream from the mkv | 11:25 |
| Azzco | arvind_khadri, yupp | 11:25 |
| ghm33 | ActionParsnip, my laptop is msi wind u100x, used to connect fine lan and wifi, just stopped for no apparent reason | 11:25 |
| arvind_khadri | Azzco, my headset didnt work with pulse i shifted to alsa.... if you want you can try my blog on how to setup alsa... | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ghm33: then read through: dmesg | less | 11:25 |
| ghm33 | ActionParsnip, done, what am i looking for | 11:26 |
| Sepero | vfrc: If the mkv has the subtitles in it, then they should be copied with the option "-scodec copy". | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ghm33: its a big read but will identify our hardware coming up and getting installed, if you recently did a kernel upgrade then this could be the cause | 11:26 |

| Azzco | arvind_khadri, just googled arvind blog ubuntu. Guess that was not it, can you link me to the blog you mentioned? | 11:28 |
| Sepero | vfrc: The -scodec argument takes a codec name, not a file. | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | BrixSat: save the file and chmod +x it | 11:28 |
| vfrc | Sepero: do you think a subtitle stream can be specified in the case where there are multiple streams or the default is 0? | 11:28 |

| ActionParsnip | futurama140: its not an ubuntu problem then is it | 11:35 |
| simplexio | futurama140: if bios dosent detect cdrom drive, chech your cables (and bios if cdrom is disabled) | 11:35 |

| futurama140 | ok currently i have one drive in, i can see the jumper clearly and it is in the master position | 11:48 |

| savvas | Riya: have you tried with super grub disk? | 12:29 |
| MenZa | sayhello: it works excellently on my ar242x | 12:29 |
| oCean_ | elad`: put in in your ~/.profile | 12:29 |
| elad` | (And if that can work from anywhere, not just from within the bash shell, that would just be super.) | 12:29 |
| suzao | does anyone know what i edit to get 1280x1024 (offhand) | 12:29 |
| elad` | oCean_, exactly what should the line look like? The other lines in that file are odd. | 12:30 |

| elad` | Help? | 12:32 |
| MenZa | elad`: exactly like what you typed. | 12:32 |
| elad` | Just that line? Can't I remove the word "export"? | 12:32 |
| sayhello | menZa: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k#Enablingath5k is this something to do with the terminal? I can't figure out how I would implement the instructions | 12:33 |

| Blank`laptop | bleh... xubuntu + wine + utorrent seems to be a bad idea | 12:39 |
| scunizi_ | why bother with utorrent in wine while there are lots of native clients? | 12:40 |
| Psykus | i liked rtorrent when I used ubuntu | 12:40 |
| mneptok | scunizi_: amen | 12:40 |
| mneptok | scunizi_: i'd even go so far as to say "better" | 12:40 |
| scunizi_ | I agree mneptok | 12:41 |
| Psykus | utorrent is :D though | 12:41 |
| Blank`laptop | scunizi_: private torrent sites | 12:41 |
| Blank`laptop | >.< | 12:41 |
| MenZa | I like deluge. It's a lot like µTorrent. | 12:41 |
| mneptok | MenZa: *hardly* | 12:41 |

| MenZa | Same basic layout, a lot of the same options... | 12:41 |
| rhsanbor1 | Can anyone recommend the best filesystem to get the most performance out of Samba? I currently have an external hard drive to hold music shares for the house and my laptop backups and it's so slow as to be unusable for that purpose (4.4Mb/s) | 12:42 |
| mneptok | MenZa: a headless torrent daemon process connected to a local GTK UI is something uTorrent only dreams about. ;) | 12:42 |
| ziroday | Blank`laptop: you can use vuze, that should support everything and an awful lot more then you need. | 12:42 |
| rhsanbor1 | It's going over wireless, but good signals all around, theoretical 54Mb/s, should get at least 20-40Mb/s | 12:42 |
| MenZa | Well yes, mneptok. I mean from a usability point-of-view. | 12:42 |
| BernieMadoff | Guys I have a Question | 12:42 |
| BernieMadoff | Question: how can i copy paste from ubuntu to windows | 12:43 |
| mneptok | rhsanbor1: have you tested with an actual cable? | 12:43 |
| ziroday | rhsanbor1: so the server is connected via wireless to the router to the wireless computer? | 12:43 |
| MenZa | BernieMadoff: What do you mean? | 12:43 |
| ziroday | mneptok: bet me to it :( | 12:43 |
| BernieMadoff | Question: how can i copy paste from ubuntu to windows, i got irc on ubuntu, i want to copy and paste into windows | 12:43 |
| rhsanbor1 | Wireless on both ends, no, I haven't done it over the wire... <-- dreading the idea. | 12:43 |
| ziroday | rhsanbor1: try wire, it will probably be an awful lot faster :) | 12:44 |
| rhsanbor1 | I suppose I can take them off the main network to test it. Router is at the other end of the house. | 12:44 |
| MenZa | BernieMadoff: Windows where? A different computer? Another partition? | 12:44 |
| scunizi_ | mneptok: ziroday also for rhsanbor1 's benefit.. isn't samba running sambafs most of the time? | 12:44 |
| BernieMadoff | MenZa, yes, windows on different pc | 12:44 |
| ziroday | Scunizi: no, smbfs is what you mount on your computer to access the samba share (well its one of the ways) | 12:44 |
| C-S-B | try rdesktop | 12:44 |
| scunizi_ | k | 12:44 |
| C-S-B | and remote to the PC | 12:44 |
| Myrtti | BernieMadoff: use pastebin | 12:45 |
| rhsanbor1 | I'm currently running it as ext3, I don't like ntfs-3g because it doesn't handle failures well. | 12:45 |
| mneptok | rhsanbor1: i doubt the local fs is the cause of the performance problem. | 12:45 |
| Riya | what is airmom-ng | 12:46 |
| ziroday | Riya: it is a tool to put your wireless card into monitor mode | 12:46 |
| C-S-B | its part of the aircrack suite | 12:46 |
| Riya | what is airmon-ng ? | 12:46 |
| rhsanbor1 | mneptok: good deal. I'll try it over the wire. thanks for the help. | 12:46 |
| mneptok | Riya: a question so nice you asked it twice. | 12:46 |

| BernieMadoff | no | 12:51 |
| BernieMadoff | different | 12:51 |

| elad` | Say the server is username:password@1.1.1.1 | 12:53 |
| BernieMadoff | glitsj16 thanks! | 12:54 |
| mneptok | elad`: if you have SFTP you probably have ssh. just use the shell. | 12:54 |
| suzao | any simple solution to get resolution? | 12:54 |
| scunizi_ | elad`: why use sftp to do it.. log in with ssh | 12:54 |
| elad` | I'm writing a script to update the files on a robot. | 12:54 |

| elad` | Scunizi, I am. | 12:56 |
| scunizi_ | It's all in how the question is phrased :) | 12:56 |

| elad` | sftp "rm -r /home/root/zzz/" -P username:password@1.1.1.1 | 12:56 |
| elad` | Or something? | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | elad`: rmdir | 12:57 |

| mneptok | ActionParsnip: errr ... you want something where the actual ssh libraries that ensure security are provided to you from a website? that, IMO, is like asking "does anyone know a place at the amusement park that i could hang my car keys?" ;) | 13:07 |
| vladuz976 | could someone do a quick apt-cache search monodevelop and confim the version? | 13:07 |

| mneptok | vladuz976: why "should" it be at 1.9.2? | 13:08 |

| mneptok | vladuz976: the latest packages on the developer site will not tell you what to expect in Ubuntu's repos. | 13:09 |

| vladuz976 | mneptok: no, that's why I asked | 13:10 |
| mneptok | vladuz976: so stick with Intrepid :) | 13:11 |
| mneptok | vladuz976: and check backports | 13:11 |
| vladuz976 | mneptok: probably will | 13:11 |
| vladuz976 | mneptok: oh ok | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | clifu: you can then select root console | 13:11 |
| scunizi_ | ActionParsnip: Ajaxterm looks to be written in Python on the server side and Javascript o nthe client. Runs as a daemon w/ mod_proxy and is gpl'd I think | 13:11 |

| panesar_sandeep | !vnc | 13:46 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 13:46 |

| ubottu | From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD | 13:47 |
| Huufarted | aata, then simply connect to your public IP and you're done | 13:47 |
| Huufarted | aata, a more secure method is by opening an SSH tunnel. | 13:47 |
| scunizi_ | suzao: I could be that the monitor isn't telling the computer what it's capable of.. xrandr controls the video for the most part and there is a command for it that will add the resolution to the list of "available" options. You might also need to add the verticle refresh freqs. to xorg. | 13:47 |
| Huufarted | !ssh | aata | 13:47 |
| ubottu | aata: 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/ | 13:47 |
| aata | Huufarted so like vnc://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5900? | 13:47 |
| scunizi_ | suzao: I'll send you a link via ubottu | 13:47 |
| aata | or just vnc://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx | 13:47 |

| scunizi_ | max82fr: you should be using xchat instead of xchat-gnome anyway.. | 14:08 |
| BLTnoTomato | when doing commands in the shell, how can I get all the info into one output file? like "ll > crap" and then "who > crap". I want them all to be in one file though, like appending | 14:09 |
| Huufarted | skald9, you'll have to redownload it. | 14:09 |
| max82fr | what will that do? | 14:09 |
| scunizi_ | suzao: not xrander but xrandr | 14:09 |
| Huufarted | max82fr, it will get rid of xchat-gnome entirely, settings and all. I'd recommend xchat as well, though. | 14:09 |
| skald9 | where do i do that ? | 14:09 |
| Huufarted | xchat-gnome is limited and looks like garbage IMO | 14:09 |
| skald9 | and how ?µ | 14:09 |
| Huufarted | skald9, however you got them to begin with | 14:09 |
| max82fr | U prefer the Gnome one or this one? | 14:09 |
| arvind_khadri | knutwin, ok on the machine with the problem, go the command line from grub , press 'c' and then do find /boot/grub/stage1 , note down the value now and then go the menu back and press 'e' and check for the line 'root' , see if the value is correct or not | 14:09 |
| Huufarted | max82fr, the regular xchat, not xchat-gnome | 14:09 |
| scunizi_ | Huufarted: the ~.xchat config file might still be left after a purge .. | 14:10 |
| max82fr | really? | 14:10 |
| Huufarted | Scunizi_, I don't doubt it | 14:10 |
| Huufarted | max82fr, yeah. Why do you prefer the xchat-gnome? | 14:10 |
| max82fr | looks better, easier to read | 14:10 |
| skald9 | what do you mean Huufarted? | 14:10 |
| scunizi_ | max82fr: you can change whatever you want in xchat.. | 14:11 |
| Huufarted | skald9, your desktop is just a storage directory, just like everything else. Either it's gone or on another user's desktop. | 14:11 |
| skald9 | only one user here | 14:11 |
| max82fr | <scunizi dunno that yet | 14:11 |
| knutwin | arvind_khadri: im in thze command line, now how can i search? | 14:11 |
| suzao | scunizi_: yes xrandr | 14:11 |
| scunizi_ | max82fr: no matter .. I use irssi | 14:11 |
| arvind_khadri | knutwin, of the machine which has the problem? type 'find /boot/grub/stage1' | 14:11 |
| max82fr | ok | 14:12 |
| Huufarted | knutwin: find . -name "filename" -print | 14:12 |
| skald9 | but how come the drives dont show but when i put in a usb-stick i can see it on desktop ? | 14:12 |
| Huufarted | knutwin: ignore my statement | 14:12 |
| max82fr | does anyone knows how to set up evolution mail to work with hotmail? | 14:12 |
| scunizi_ | suzao: sorry but I'm stuck at this point.. I'll leave it to those with more insight to the problem | 14:12 |
| scunizi_ | max82fr: you can't unless you're paying for the hotmail service.. you can however, with gmail | 14:12 |
| max82fr | <scunizi u joking? | 14:13 |
| skald9 | no max82fr its true | 14:13 |
| max82fr | <scunizi it s crap | 14:13 |
| suzao | scunizi_:thanks for your help | 14:14 |
| max82fr | does anyone use pidgin here?? | 14:14 |
| scunizi_ | max82fr: no.. as far as I know hotmail is accessable via pop only if you're paying for the service.. gmail has imap and pop access.. | 14:14 |
| scunizi_ | suzao: sorry I couldn't do more. | 14:14 |
| max82fr | scunizi> ok. do u use pidgin? | 14:14 |
| suzao | scunizi_: np thanks ;-) | 14:15 |
| scunizi_ | max82fr: yep. and some others. | 14:15 |
| max82fr | scunizi> ok i got rid of it because there s always an error message about user at start up | 14:15 |
| DuHast | pidgin i used to use :P | 14:15 |
| max82fr | scunizi> do u know how to fix this? | 14:15 |
| knutwin | arvind_khadri: my usb keyboard doesnt work | 14:16 |
| scunizi_ | max82fr: kind of an undefined error.. can you be more specific? | 14:16 |
| knutwin | arvind_khadri: i have one nomral keyboard, but the letter "b" is broken | 14:16 |
| max82fr | scunizi> could not add user or something like that. does it ring a bell? | 14:16 |
| arvind_khadri | knutwin, no other keyboard? do one thing boot into a live-cd | 14:16 |
| knutwin | ok one moment | 14:16 |
| DJones | scunizi_: Thats pretty much true about hotmail, the only exception is if the hotmail account is an old one, from before 2004 when they started charging, also it seems like there are reports the hotmail is allowing free pop3/smtp access in certain countries now http://www.instantfundas.com/2009/01/hotmail-enables-free-pop3-and-smtp.html | 14:17 |
| scunizi_ | max82fr: probably something in the syntax of what you were trying to do. I haven't had any issues with pidgin at all.. I've also used ekiga, wengophone, aMSN and finch | 14:18 |
| max82fr | oki let me reinstall it and i ll tell u the exact thing, ok? | 14:18 |

I'm on terminal and using a terminal based browser to look. Kinda hard cutting and pasting from one screen window to the next | 14:27 |
| arvind_ | knutwin, sorry had a disconnection | 14:27 |

| scunizi_ | max82fr: my son does.. the only way to make it work is if you're running windows in a vm.. otherwise I think there might be a "jailbreak" way of making it work but it's risky | 14:30 |
| orangekid | oh | 14:30 |
| max82fr | <scunizi> I jailbroke it but Im screwed now. it doesn t work in ubuntu | 14:31 |
| max82fr | <scunizi> cannot mount it | 14:31 |

| gnr | hi can i have a little help setting up my partitions? :) i have a 320gb hd, would like to know how much to leave for the os and swap etc. but would also like to put windows 7 on a small partition | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | DrDigital: is it ubuntu, kubuntus, xubitu? | 14:59 |
| DrDigital | ubuntu | 15:00 |
| hwilde | DrDigital, f9cdb7e9ad85263dde17f8fc81a6305b *ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso | 15:00 |
| kuba_160 | hi | 15:00 |
| knutwin | arvind_khadri: the problem started with resetting startup-manager to default | 15:00 |
| hwilde | gnr, my rule of thumb is swap = 2x ram | 15:00 |
| DrDigital | thanks | 15:00 |
| gnr | 4gb then. but isn't that a little much hwilde? | 15:00 |
| arvind_khadri | knutwin, your menu.lst seems to be fine... cant you use any other keyboard here? what did you do with network-manager? | 15:01 |
| DrDigital | its good | 15:01 |
| gnr | and hwilde how would i go about setting up the partitions for windows | 15:01 |
| arvind_khadri | hwilde, thats only for ram less than a gb gnr | 15:01 |
| DrDigital | guess ill go back to fedora | 15:01 |

| arvind_khadri | !swap | hwilde , | 15:01 |
| ubottu | hwilde ,: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 15:01 |
| fr00d | Hello! | 15:01 |
| hwilde | gnr, how much space do you want for windows? | 15:01 |
| knutwin | arvind_khadri: nothing with network manager.. i just resetted the program "startup-manager" (installable from ubuntu repos) to the default. after doing that he prompted me to reboot. after that the error came | 15:02 |
| gnr | around 20gb hwilde perhaps 30 | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | hwilde: only have a good swap if its needed | 15:02 |
| arvind_khadri | knutwin, oh ok, what did you change? | 15:02 |
| DrDigital | md5s match up | 15:02 |
| fr00d | I've an apacheproblem with xen. [ 1196.922123] apache2[4170] general protection eip:b7a908ab esp:bf9579c4 error:0 What do I need to do that apache starts normally? | 15:02 |
| DrDigital | and ive burned 11 cds | 15:02 |
| DrDigital | each one same issue | 15:02 |
| DrDigital | fedora worked | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | DrDigital: you should check those as well as verify the burned cd is ok | 15:03 |
| fr00d | Another Xen DomU is running apache pretty well. | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | DrDigital: also burn the iso as slow as you physically can | 15:03 |
| Ko_deZ | Hi. I would like to run "blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/sdb" at startup. I was wondering if there is a init.d script that does this? hdparm has its config file, does blockdev also have the same? | 15:03 |
| DrDigital | yeah i did | 15:03 |
| DrDigital | 8x | 15:03 |
| DrDigital | slowest the disk allowed | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | DrDigital: all awesome so far | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | DrDigital | 15:03 |
| ubottu | DrDigital: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 15:03 |
| hwilde | ActionParsnip, dd has no progress bar or nothing? I dunno if this is working or just sitting there. | 15:03 |
| knutwin | arvind_khadri: i dont really know.. there was a button that said reset to default and i pressed it :x ... before that i was trying to install a usplash theme | 15:03 |
| loopux | hi... | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | DrDigital: try some bootoptions like acpi off nodma etc | 15:04 |
| DrDigital | i just plan to use the system to run virtualizations of other linux system | 15:04 |
| loopux | i have a problem with grub... | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hwilde: depending on the partition sizes will dictate how long it takes, dd unfortunately has no progress bar | 15:04 |
| yowwww | im getting an error 24 on my jaunty install (the file system is clean), anyone have any ideas? ive already reinstalled grub. | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hwilde: but it will do a bit by bit copy | 15:04 |

| knutwin | arvind_khadri: i have an adapter from usb to ps2? does that help me? | 15:05 |
| DarkKnight | hey my sound isn't working in my vbox | 15:05 |
| DarkKnight | hey my sound isn't working in my vbox can anyone help me wih that | 15:05 |
| hwilde | ActionParsnip, fdisk shows the partition table created so I guess it's doing something. | 15:05 |
| hwilde | !vbox | DarkKnight | 15:05 |
| arvind_khadri | knutwin, aah, dont try to play with usplash it most of the times doesnt work :) .. i have no idea about that adapter , you can try anyways | 15:05 |
| ubottu | DarkKnight: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 15:05 |

| ActionParsnip | hwilde: i believe they will be unallocated space but i think you can add them to the other partitions of make a new on e and mount it some place | 15:09 |
| hechu | fr00d, you may use "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start" to start you http server. | 15:09 |
| arvind_khadri | knutwin, ??? | 15:09 |

| gnr | thanks marca311, does pm work on this server? bit busy in here.. | 15:12 |
| fr00d | virtaava: Not the Kernel segfaults but the apache. | 15:13 |
| hechu | hari1, usually 845G chipset use i810 driver. and I remember my old computer(which has a 845G chipset) can run 3D effect. | 15:13 |
| marca311 | gnr. i don't know | 15:13 |

| RizR | hello. Is there a way to open a new tab in an already opened gnome-terminal using command line? | 15:18 |
| RizR | It's like doing gnome-terminal --tab but attach it with an existing window rather than opening a new one | 15:18 |
| arvind_khadri | RizR, ctrl+shift+t | 15:19 |
| RizR | arvind_khadri: that opens in current gnome-terminal window. I need in "any" open gnome-terminal window | 15:20 |
| scunizi_ | RizR: yes.. it's called screen.. check it out | 15:20 |
| k4dm | siemka | 15:21 |
| scunizi_ | RizR: but... you have to start screen before you get wrapped up in doing something at terminal.. if you can send what you have going to the background then you can initiate screen | 15:21 |
| admin_masu3701 | hello i have a question... i dont know what happen but i am not root user anymore..i try to sudo apt-get update and get a message user is not in the sudoers | 15:21 |
| === cw]n]HYr is now known as LjL | ||
| admin_masu3701 | how can i become root again? | 15:22 |
| RizR | scrunizi_: I know screen but I think that's not what I need. | 15:22 |
| hechu | hari1, I am reading some document about 845. it seems some bad news. | 15:22 |
| erUSUL | !root | admin_masu3701 | 15:22 |
| ubottu | admin_masu3701: 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 | 15:22 |
| scunizi_ | RizR: screen will "split" so you can have something going in each window | 15:22 |
| erUSUL | !sudo > admin_masu3701 | 15:22 |
| ubottu | admin_masu3701, please see my private message | 15:22 |
| === jan_ is now known as netlynx | ||
| RizR | scunizi_: screen deals with the outout of terminals and the terminal itself. I need something to talk to the gnome-terminal thing. | 15:22 |
| hechu | hari1, refer to the release note of 8.10: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#Hangs%20with%20desktop%20effects%20on%20Intel%20830MG%20and%20845G%20video%20cards | 15:23 |
| arvind_khadri | admin_masu3701, check out /etc/sudoers | 15:23 |
| hechu | hari1, There is a bug in the Intel video driver for the older intel 830 and 845 integrated video cards that are used on laptops like the IBM R30. Desktop effects with compiz will not work on those chips and will freeze the system. For new installations, please install using the safe graphics mode (press F4 in the startup screen) on these systems and disable desktop effects via System -> Preferences -> Appearance, clicking on "Visual effects" and choosing "No | 15:24 |
| hechu | ne". | 15:24 |
| scunizi_ | RizR: maybe I misunderstood .. you wanted a new tab in terminal, the gui windowed terminal ? | 15:24 |
| AlexMax | Hi there, is it possible to enable cyrilic characters in gnome-terminal? | 15:24 |
| RizR | scunizi: yes. | 15:24 |
| hari1 | hechu:ok..:) | 15:24 |
| nutzer | hallo | 15:24 |
| RizR | scunizi_: if one has more than one gnome-terminals open and one wants to open a new tab in gnome-terminal window of his choice. how it's done. | 15:25 |
| AlexMax | My locale is utf-8 but when i look at cyrilic text in irssi for example it shows up as a bunch of weird letters | 15:25 |
| scunizi_ | RizR: so you're just looking for the command to make that happen but not because you neccessarily need another tab..? | 15:25 |
| magnetron | AlexMax→ your IRC friends probably doesn't use UTF-8 | 15:25 |
| hechu | hari1, bad news. I don't know if it fixed now. | 15:25 |
| tuxorz | hello everyone and good moring | 15:26 |
| jc | AlexMax: unicode terminal? | 15:26 |
| magnetron | tuxorz→ welcome and good afternoon | 15:26 |
| RizR | scunizi_: well I need another tab :-) that's why I'm looking for it. | 15:26 |
| hechu | hari1, but I do remember I've use 3D effect in my old computer. | 15:26 |
| tuxorz | ty magnetron | 15:26 |
| AlexMax | jc: yeah i'm using gnome-terminal in utf-8 mode | 15:26 |
| hari1 | hechu:then how to go about........? | 15:26 |
| l3dplated_Linux | how many accounts should I make on a fresh install? | 15:26 |
| magnetron | AlexMax→ your terminal already accepts cyrillic letters, but maybe your font doesn't? | 15:27 |
| scunizi_ | RizR: File/New Tab .. since you're in the gui use the menu | 15:27 |
| admin_masu3701 | arvind_khadri: when i try to access /etc/sudoers it says that i dont have permission | 15:27 |
| devilsF00d | hi how can you determine what your broadcast address should be when setting an interface for a static IP? | 15:27 |
| AlexMax | magnetron: I'm using normal font | 15:27 |
| magnetron | l3dplated_Linux→ are you talking about user accounts? one account per user i guess. | 15:27 |
| RizR | scunizi_: this is straight forward but not what I asked. no worries mate. I think it can't be done using gnome-terminal. | 15:27 |
| RizR | scunizi_: thanks anyway. | 15:27 |
| tuxorz | is anyone avalible to help with some issues i'm having with opengl support for my ATI 3100 mobile radeon graphic card for my laptop? | 15:27 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:28 |
| admin_masu3701 | now i just cant | 15:28 |
| hechu | hari1, my old computer runs 3D very fine. about 2 years ago. | 15:28 |
| arvind_khadri | admin_masu3701, do cat /etc/sudoers and see if your name is there? | 15:28 |
| magnetron | AlexMax→ that means that your friends doesn't use UTF-8. | 15:28 |
| knutwin | arvind_khadri: maybe i backup my files and reinstall ubuntu... or is there another way? | 15:28 |
| arvind_khadri | knutwin, aah bad luck.... backup whatever is there in your home... and re-install and remember not to mess with usplash :P :) | 15:29 |
| l3dplated_Linux | Magnetron so I should see me and root in the user list if no one else is going to use the pc | 15:29 |

| arvind_khadri | tuxorz, as compiz uses all of the grpahics :) simple | 15:42 |

| Dreamglider | funkyHat: does the destination need to be partitioned at all? (it's a brand new disk) | 15:44 |
| anton_ | how 2 restore screen size? | 15:44 |
| Dreamglider | funkyHat: and the source has 3 partitions, one ntfs one ext3 and a swap area | 15:44 |

| dmizer | on the xfce desktop, how do i change the name of the "home" folder to my username? | 15:45 |
| cristi | storbeck: if i do so the sound won't output through headset | 15:46 |
| funkyHat | Dreamglider: ok, dd will do that, but after you've done that, which partition do you want to expand to fill the extra space you'll have? | 15:46 |
| storbeck | cristi: It should | 15:46 |
| cristi | but it's not | 15:46 |
| cristi | storbeck: but it's not | 15:47 |
| storbeck | cristi: Try muting PCM then | 15:47 |
| Dreamglider | funkyHat: ahh, well first ill expand the ext3(Ubuntu) partition, and if posible id like the ntfs a bit bigger allso, but primary the ext3 partition. | 15:47 |
| cristi | storbeck: same | 15:47 |
| arvind_khadri | !resolution | anton_ | 15:47 |
| funkyHat | Dreamglider: I'm guessing your ntfs partition is first on the disc, in which case expanding your ext3 partition will be quite easy, but the nfts one not so much | 15:47 |

| funkyHat | Dreamglider: if you're happy with just resizing your ext3 partition then that's fine, if you want to resize your ntfs too I would suggest partitioning the new drive with 1 partition the same size (or a bit bigger) than your current ntfs, then taking out your old disc, using the windows installer disc to 'repair' the installation and repartitioning ntfs from windows | 15:53 |

| scunizi_ | !grub > MarkH88 | 16:02 |
| ubottu | MarkH88, please see my private message | 16:02 |

| c0p3rn1c | rai: press CTRL-ALT-F1 and login trough the terminal and change your config there | 16:18 |
| natsukashi | I don't like the looks of this. One of my HDD's isn't showing up | 16:19 |
| Besogon | natsukashi, No. This file like boot.ini in Windows and more. Sorry. I cant tell you enough about it, but in the internet have many information. | 16:19 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, what issue were you having? | 16:19 |
| arvind_khadri | rai, ask #compiz-fusion | 16:20 |
| natsukashi | yharrow: The one with Windows not showing up in the boot menu or about a HDD that suddenly disappeared? | 16:20 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, boot entries are listed in /boot/grub/menu.lst. You can either manually edit that file or use a tool called Start Up Manager to graphically eidtt aht file | 16:21 |
| yharrow | edit* | 16:21 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, one moment, I will try to give you some more specific instructions | 16:22 |
| natsukashi | yharrow: Thanks. :) | 16:22 |
| zoidfarb | Does anyone know how to assign a custom unicode character to a shortcut key? | 16:23 |
| zoidfarb | To type foreign letters, for instance | 16:23 |
| ict | dd | 16:23 |
| rai | cop3rn1c:now terminal opened what to do there? | 16:24 |
| hwilde | !keytouch | zoidfarb | 16:24 |
| ubottu | zoidfarb: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 16:24 |
| zoidfarb | hwilde, thanks, but that's not what I'm asking | 16:25 |
| zoidfarb | that's for keyboard shortcuts to launch apps | 16:25 |
| funkyHat | zoidfarb: it might be that the character you want can be typed using a deadkey... what is it? | 16:25 |
| zoidfarb | not to type special characters | 16:25 |
| zoidfarb | I want to type the interrobang (! and ? together) | 16:25 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, go to accessories > terminal | 16:25 |
| zoidfarb | it's unicode character 203D | 16:25 |
| c0p3rn1c | rai: ehm ask at #compiz-fusion | 16:25 |
| natsukashi | yharrow: Done, what should I write? | 16:26 |
| Pici | zoidfarb: See System>Preferences>Keyboard, iirc theres a setting in there for dead keys. | 16:26 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, sudo aptitude install startupmanager | 16:26 |
| zoidfarb | Pici, thanks | 16:26 |
| zoidfarb | lemme see | 16:26 |
| yharrow | then enter yoru password | 16:27 |
| natsukashi | Done~ | 16:27 |
| c0p3rn1c | I just removed the package ubuntu-mythtv-frontend but the mythtv user account still tries to login, any idea's ? | 16:27 |
| === FurryNemesis is now known as Fuzzy | ||
| zoidfarb | Pici, nothing under layouts seems to let me actually manually choose a unicode character | 16:28 |
| === Fuzzy is now known as FurryNemesis | ||
| zoidfarb | Pici, it lets me choose pre-existing layouts, but that's all | 16:28 |
| zoidfarb | not create/customize my own layout | 16:28 |
| zoidfarb | Pici, do you know if the keyboard layouts are specified in a config file somewhere? | 16:28 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, installed? | 16:29 |

| scunizi_ | Nevis: the 180.35 drivers have issues.. back down the version | 16:42 |
| funkyHat | Nevis: they would be doing that anyway, compiz just lets you know it's happening by greying out the window | 16:43 |

| rai | funkyHat:now i got the normal window | 16:44 |
| magnetron | flice→ excuse me, what do you mean by "frontend"? there are a lot of tools for encoding x264. | 16:45 |
| daftykins | max82fr, click System -> Administration -> System Monitor | 16:45 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, what version of windows do you have? | 16:45 |

| daftykins | FYI "x264" *is* an open source H.264 frontend, it is not an encoder in and of itself | 16:45 |

| scunizi_ | saurabh: check in #vbox.. there's some setup to do | 16:49 |
| daftykins | use SCP instead | 16:49 |

| daftykins | Omatic, as in *actually* format one? | 16:52 |
| funkyHat | Omatic: use gparted (when installed it is in Applications > System Tools > Partition Editor) | 16:52 |
| natsukashi | Yeah, I think I mistyped the password | 16:52 |

| Omatic | ok a read-only filesystem, I tried gparted to no avail | 16:53 |
| Omatic | funkyHat, ^^ | 16:54 |
| mysticdarkhack | hello all | 16:54 |
| funkyHat | Omatic: is there a switch on the drive? | 16:54 |
| daftykins | Omatic, what do you mean read only file system? the USB key is mounted read only? | 16:54 |
| flice | daftykins: is this repository good? https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa | 16:55 |
| Omatic | daftykins, exactly | 16:55 |
| mysticdarkhack | Anyone know is there a way to install kde separetely from gnome with different settings | 16:55 |
| scunizi_ | Omatic: you have to unmount to use gparted and format | 16:55 |
| daftykins | flice if you are having trouble installing the .deb just ask and i can tell you how to do it | 16:55 |
| Omatic | funkyHat, how do I tell whether there's a swictch | 16:55 |
| Pici | mysticdarkhack: What do you mean by different settings? | 16:55 |
| daftykins | there's no need to use a repo | 16:55 |
| saurabh | how to use pen drive in virtual box | 16:55 |
| flice | daftykins: no problem with that, I just like to have everything in repositories, so that I receive updates | 16:56 |
| funkyHat | Omatic: I mean an actual switch, like you get on an SD card (although that's not an actual switch, but anyway...) | 16:56 |
| scunizi_ | saurabh: if you used the repo to install vbox then you have no usb support. you need to install the version from their websire | 16:56 |
| scunizi_ | *site | 16:56 |
| daftykins | flice i really don't think it's a program worth updating | 16:56 |
| daftykins | but i'm afraid i've no idea on that repo's integrity | 16:56 |
| saurabh | how to use pen drive in virtual box | 16:57 |
| daftykins | it's up to you | 16:57 |
| flice | daftykins: hmm, why? every program has bugs and gets feature updates (if it's maintained) | 16:57 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, type "ls -d /media/windwos" | 16:57 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, type "ls -d /media/windows" | 16:57 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, sorry first had a typo | 16:57 |
| daftykins | saurabh, i don't think it's easy, if it even supports it properly yet | 16:57 |
| daftykins | either google a guide or get vmware :P | 16:57 |
| mysticdarkhack | Pici, what I meant is I'm on gnome desktop right now, so hoping to install kde desktop on the same drive but with different setting | 16:58 |
| natsukashi | yharrow: Done | 16:58 |
| scunizi_ | daftykins: it's supported only in the version directly from vbox | 16:58 |
| daftykins | flice just in my experience apps such as that are quite sensitive to upgrading and can be broken easily | 16:58 |
| === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- | ||

| hunt577 | I had ubuntu running through virtualbox through Windows Vista on my new HP laptop, but my microphone would not work on it at all. Tried going in to change settings but none of them worked. Mic works fine on Windows Vista. Any suggestions? | 16:59 |
| daftykins | to be honest not a lot of stuff works as it should in Ubuntu | 16:59 |
| ADC | Hello everyone. I have ubuntu 8.10 installed. I am using gnome with it. I am currently using xrdp so that I can access the ubuntu server from my vista machine using rdp. Sometimes when i click on something the session crashes. I think its X crashing. Anyone know where I could look to figure out why the session is crashing. | 16:59 |
| funkyHat | Dreamglider: it will print a line or two about how many MB per seconds it was transferring at and some other stuff, I can't remember exactly what it prints | 16:59 |
| yubuntu | how do you kill a full screen application | 16:59 |
| daftykins | hunt577, why would you want to use a microphone in a virtual machine? | 16:59 |
| yuri_ | magnetron: im not having any luck. i have disconnected my ide devices and tried switching from SATA to AHCI and still get the same error. | 17:00 |
| Dreamglider | funkyHat: Ok thanks | 17:00 |
| scunizi_ | yubuntu: game? | 17:00 |
| hunt577 | daftykins, I wanted to make sure it would work | 17:00 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda0 /media/sda0" | 17:00 |
| daftykins | yubuntu, in terminal, "ps -ef | grep appname" followed by "kill -9 $processID | 17:00 |
| hunt577 | daftykins, I plan to actually do a dual boot of vista and ubuntu eventually, but virtualbox allows me to test out ubuntu | 17:00 |
| daftykins | hunt577, virtualisation inserts a *LAYER* between the real hardware and the operating system, there is no way you can test ubuntu works on your PC *natively* by running it under virtualbox | 17:00 |
| daftykins | it simply doesn't work that way | 17:01 |
| magnetron | yuri_→ i'm out of ideas. direct your answer to the channel for any further help. | 17:01 |
| smiles | y would u need to dual boot with windows unless u going to play video games | 17:01 |
| yubuntu | there was an easier way, someone told me: press alt + F2 and type kill something | 17:01 |
| daftykins | that's the same thing yubuntu , but you must know the process ID of the app first | 17:01 |
| yuri_ | magnetron: ok. ty for the help | 17:01 |
| flice | daftykins: I guess that's the price we have to pay for frequent releases | 17:01 |
| funkyHat | hunt577: run the live CD, if the live CD works it will work installed (also it might work installed if the live CD doesn't work) | 17:01 |
| hunt577 | daftykins, so do you think it would work then if I had the real OS installed? | 17:01 |
| daftykins | or you can run System -> administration -> system monitor | 17:01 |
| mysticdarkhack | I wonder if compiz can be enable in virtual desk from vista or xp running ubuntu in vmware or virtualbox | 17:01 |
| natsukashi | yharrow: ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sda0': No such file or directory | 17:01 |
| natsukashi | Please type '/sbin/mount.ntfs --help' for more information. | 17:01 |
| yubuntu | no all i had to do was click on it | 17:01 |
| hunt577 | thanks funkyHat | 17:01 |
| hunt577 | I will do that | 17:02 |
| daftykins | hunt577, the benefit of ubuntu and Linux in general is the ability to boot the LiveCD and test a lot of stuff - just boot the CD and try it out | 17:02 |
| yubuntu | the cursor turned into an X | 17:02 |
| daftykins | mysticdarkhack, no, it requires hardware support for graphics | 17:02 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/sda1" | 17:02 |
| daftykins | virtualisation programs do not allow graphics acceleration | 17:02 |
| hunt577 | I tried the livecd before, didn't test the mic, but I know it doesn't recognize my wireless card so I have to figure a way to get the driver for it....and since I am so new to linux, the tutorials I was reading looked greek to me as far as how to download the driver | 17:02 |
| daftykins | well, other than maybe vmware fusion on OS X | 17:02 |
| daftykins | (macs) | 17:02 |

| daftykins | monreal, "man dpkg" | 17:05 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/sda2" | 17:05 |

| mysticdarkhack | ubuntuguide probably have a setting for atheros | 17:05 |
| dkerschner | anyone know how to set default file permissions for sftp/scp users? I'm not sure where to stick the umask like | 17:05 |
| natsukashi | but that's because I added an extra space I believe, I just tried the first one and removed the space between /dev/sda0 /media/sda0 | 17:05 |
| natsukashi | yharrow: I have 2 of them, but only one shows up. And the one that shows up isn't the one with windows | 17:06 |
| corey | how do i emtpy the temp folder? | 17:06 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, the second hard drive has windows? | 17:06 |
| daftykins | corey, /tmp ? "rm -rf /tmp/* " | 17:06 |
| natsukashi | yharrow: Yes. My C:/ has windows. But only D:/ is showing up | 17:06 |
| yuri_ | would an IDE cable that is plugged into the mobo but not any devices still try to read something? | 17:07 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb0 /media/sda0" try this. don't remove the space between sdb0 and /media | 17:07 |
| daftykins | yuri_, no | 17:07 |

| yharrow | hunt577, the latest stable version is 8.10 | 17:07 |
| daftykins | there's no such thing as "sda0" | 17:07 |
| daftykins | you can't have a partition 0 afaik | 17:08 |
| Dreamglider | hunt577: yes if your system is 32bit | 17:08 |

| ADC | Hello everyone. I have ubuntu 8.10 installed. I am using gnome with it. I am currently using xrdp so that I can access the ubuntu server from my vista machine using rdp. Sometimes when i click on something the session crashes. I think its X crashing. Anyone know where I could look to figure out why the session is crashing. I have tried looking at /var/log/xorg.0.log but do not really know what I am looking for | 17:08 |
| daftykins | natsukashi, type "sudo fdisk -l" for a list of devices and partitions | 17:08 |
| yharrow | daftykins, that was the command i was looknig for >> | 17:08 |
| corey | is it bad to type in terminal "sudo rm -rf /tmp/* | 17:08 |
| hunt577 | thanks dreamglider | 17:08 |
| hunt577 | and yharrow | 17:08 |
| yharrow | natsukashi, daftykins can probably help you better than i can. | 17:09 |
| daftykins | it's funny, i come here and i feel like i know stuff about Linux again, yet when i try to make it work for me i still get no end of trouble :D | 17:09 |
| Dreamglider | hunt577: Np | 17:09 |
| Akkernight | What channel should I join to talk about Game Development and Ubuntu ? | 17:09 |
| daftykins | anyone ever feel that way? | 17:09 |
| scunizi_ | corey that will remove everything in the /tmp directory | 17:09 |
| yharrow | daftykins, all i know is that i thought i knew linux, but i know until i can modify the kernel, i relay dont. | 17:09 |
| Dreamglider | daftykins: i do :P | 17:09 |
| daftykins | very true yharrow :) | 17:09 |
| daftykins | as soon as i started using genkernel under Gentoo, i knew i wasn't good enough to use Gentoo | 17:10 |
| natsukashi | daftykins: only one Hard Drive shows up. o: | 17:10 |
| hunt577 | Dreamglider, just sick and tired of Vista using up all my free memory...I literally only have about 10 MB of free memory on a 3 GB RAM computer because Vista caches it all | 17:10 |
| daftykins | natsukashi, sorry i missed the start, what's the problem? | 17:10 |
| corey | is it bad to type in terminal "sudo rm -rf /tmp/* | 17:10 |
| daftykins | lol corey checks that i'm a good person | 17:10 |
| LjL | corey: it can be, if programs are holding stuff there. | 17:10 |
| LjL | corey: why would you do that anyway? it's done automatically on reboot | 17:11 |
| altrortla | hello... i got a trouble with a GUI ... this form show message form text with lower resolution... I can read what it said... I have also tryied to zoom this form .... and to reduce resolution of the screen... (but no way) | 17:11 |
| scunizi_ | hunt577: linux had good memory management but you may find it also "looks" like it's eating a lot of it | 17:11 |
| Dreamglider | hunt577: i have never tried Vista, just XP and Ubuntu dualbooting :) | 17:11 |
| corey | daftykins: you are a stranger after all | 17:11 |
| altrortla | i have also an image of this problem | 17:11 |
| daftykins | :D | 17:11 |
| yharrow | daftykins, he can't boot into windows. windows was not listed in menu.lst, so i started trying to find out what the location of his windows partition is so that we can create the entry. | 17:11 |
| hunt577 | oh ok scunizi_ | 17:11 |
| daftykins | yeah no problem, i'd probably do the same corey | 17:11 |
| natsukashi | daftykins: I installed Ubuntu, and was thinking that it should dual boot. But it doesn't Only Ubuntu boots. And now one of my Hard Drives doesn't show up. o: | 17:11 |
| altrortla | this is what i've got .... http://picfront.de/uploaded.php?images=dARGbvmS0sn | 17:11 |
| levander | Did KVM every get any kind of feature whereby Windows can directly access the video card for hardware accelerated DirectX and OpenGL? | 17:11 |
| UncleD | I heard a guy had a mac system with windows in a virtual window. Can I lead ubuntu inside a virtual window? | 17:11 |
| hunt577 | I just hope everything works this time and I don't run into wireless problems or problems with my mic not working | 17:11 |
| daftykins | ouch, failed multi-boot installs - painful | 17:11 |
| altrortla | on the right i have zoomed with kmag ... but the result is the same .... what should i do? | 17:12 |
| corey | daftykins: after all you could be a 12yr old girl who wants to rape me | 17:12 |

| LjL | corey, daftykins gave you the correct answer to your question on how to empty /tmp. whether doing that can be a bad thing is an entirely different matter | 17:12 |
| Dreamglider | hunt577: ubuntu is using 300Mb of my 2gb so i'd say it's better than vista ;) | 17:12 |
| natsukashi | I would love to be raped by a 12 year old whom runs knows Linux, it would be pretty awesome. | 17:12 |
| daftykins | lol | 17:12 |

| n2diy | is there a way to edit hidden files with gedit | 17:23 |
| daftykins | buckethed, once you turn on remote desktop, you'll need to connect using IP address:0 to say port number zero | 17:23 |
| daftykins | gedit should be able to edit hidden files fine | 17:23 |
| uniq_stitch | n2diy, yes | 17:23 |
| uniq_stitch | gedit /home/name/filename | 17:23 |
| Wayder | daftykins, that will depend on if the computer in question is not behind a firewall, if it is behind a firewall were vnc is actively being blocked you will have to configure a reverse ssh tunnel | 17:24 |

| namai | :( | 17:36 |
| Akkernight | ok, found aMSN and Emesene, which one is better? | 17:36 |
| SonhadorPR | Quick question: which app does anyone recomend for ripping Music CDs in different formats? For some reason Kaffeine is only ripping in OGG, I have an Cell phone/MP3 player that wont play OGG | 17:36 |

| nado | i'd like to use some of my favorite kde apps under gnome. will loading the qt libs cause any serious performance issues? | 17:36 |
| Pici | nado: Nope, it will be fine. | 17:37 |
| gldtn | daftykins, yes.. also I just seen on their page that there lastest version is 1.80, I use 1.77 how can I get 1.80 to install? | 17:37 |
| daftykins | under ubuntu you don't install nvidia's own drivers from their website really, gldtn | 17:37 |
| scunizi_ | SonhadorPR: try ripperx.. it's in the repos | 17:37 |
| nado | Pici: great, thanks | 17:37 |
| vineeth | hi | 17:38 |
| daftykins | misblay, that config looks ok, it must be correct to say (hd0,3) otherwise you probably wouldn't get as far as the ntldr error | 17:38 |
| daftykins | but i'm really not sure what's making it fail | 17:38 |
| yubuntu | could someone PLEASE tell me how to kill a full screen game with your mouse? | 17:38 |
| misblay | ok then, thanks.. | 17:38 |
| Flipper | hi | 17:38 |
| gldtn | daftykins, oh i see | 17:38 |

| Sisqdave | Hi all, I am wondering if anybody has come across boot issues and the folder /dev/by-uuid missing completely? | 17:42 |
| Sisqdave | sure vineeth | 17:42 |
| daftykins | vineeth, older version of ubuntu? | 17:42 |
| vineeth | no older version of linux kernol | 17:43 |
| daftykins | isn't /dev a dynamic directory created by udev? so it's not really data? | 17:43 |
| scunizi_ | Sisqdave: might be that there is a listing in fstab that either doesn't have a uuid number or the wrong one.. you can get the right numbers with sudo blkid and compare them to what's in fstab | 17:43 |
| daftykins | ah ok sure vineeth, what is the contents of your /boot directory? | 17:43 |

| daftykins | Akkernight, did it say it supports SLI or no? | 17:46 |
| Akkernight | I dunno, didn't read it xP | 17:46 |
| daftykins | tbh even if ubuntu does support SLI, what are you going to try and run? :D | 17:46 |
| === jussi01 is now known as Guest7076 | ||
| Akkernight | if it doesn't there ain't anything I can do | 17:46 |
| evantandersen | is there a list of ubottu commands for IRC? | 17:46 |
| Akkernight | And I don't really need SLI, since I won't be running games on Ubuntu xP | 17:46 |
| daftykins | i would suggest you don't try and install the driver, it's not likely worth your time trying to get SLI working | 17:47 |
| scunizi_ | Akkernight: are you trying to install a nvidia driver? | 17:47 |
| daftykins | yeah exactly | 17:47 |

| genis3ll | Can someone recommend me a good ubuntu irc client? Thanks | 17:48 |
| daftykins | genis3ll, tried xchat ? | 17:48 |
| imfluxible | i installed ub 8.10 on my friends emachines T3646, and seem to be getting lots of misbehaviors i wonder if anyone can help me troubleshoot. they apparently play a lot of board games online at pogo.com, so if anyone has any experience using that site maybe you will relate. to enable the games we had to install a java 6 alternative, which i think i did correctly yesterday from community doc... | 17:49 |
| scunizi_ | genis3ll: xchat, irssi | 17:49 |
| daftykins | ugly but does the job | 17:49 |
| Sisqdave | this works but it gives me errors at boot | 17:49 |
| imfluxible | ...instructions. the games did work yesterday as they were supposed to, but today when she booted up she had several problems... the games wouldn't work, her gnome panel (with applications, places, and system) would not appear persistently (it dissappears), and she says the browser freezes up. also the window bars do not appear on her windows so cannot move , resize or 'X' out .... any ideas? | 17:49 |
| imfluxible | also she says many things on her aol mail interface would not function, various buttons | 17:49 |
| Kelen | i installed a theme packages, but couldn't find it in theme's list. any one could help me? | 17:49 |

| ironfoot_495 | Hello I need to know how to start all over and install localhost and apache mysql all over. | 17:49 |
| Akkernight | scumizi_ the newest version of the Nvidia driver ain't shown in the Hardware Drivers thing | 17:49 |
| daftykins | sounds like you enabled desktop effects imfluxible ? | 17:49 |
| Flipper | maybe its a stupid question but i want to set the file for flash in the folder ande ubuntu sai iam not the owner of the computer do you know a way to give ma all the rights | 17:50 |
| ironfoot_495 | what is the easiest way? | 17:50 |
| genis3ll | Thanks | 17:50 |
| scunizi_ | Akkernight: of course not.. it's not stable.. and there are issues with 180.35 so I wouldn't go there.. have you tried the ones in hardware manager and do they work for you? if so stick with them. | 17:50 |
| daftykins | Flipper, what do you mean "flash in a folder" ? | 17:50 |
| Akkernight | I think the ones in Hardware Drivers worked, dunno really, but I'm going AFK now! | 17:51 |
| daftykins | i'm running the nvidia 177 drivers from the "Hardware Drivers" section on an nvidia 8800GT with 2 x 1920x1200 LCD's over DVI @ once | 17:51 |
| daftykins | works ok | 17:51 |
| Flipper | the plugin for flash player i want to copy to usr/mozilla/plugins i donth have the right he sais iam not the owner | 17:51 |
| daftykins | *strokes compiz* ;) | 17:51 |
| Flipper | sorry my english is not so good iam from belguim | 17:51 |
| Xanax09 | try it in the terminal with the sudo command ? | 17:52 |
| daftykins | "sudo ln -s /flash/plugin /destination/folder" | 17:52 |
| scunizi_ | daftykins: you're lucky.. my 8200 card and chipset work acceptable only on 180.29 so far. 177 was like walking through molassis | 17:52 |
| daftykins | (symbolic link, you don't need to copy the file) | 17:52 |
| gotcha | what's the difference between ln -s and cp? | 17:52 |
| daftykins | gotcha, "ln -s" creates a sort of shortcut | 17:52 |
| daftykins | it's called a symbolic link | 17:52 |
| daftykins | it's kind of link shortcuts in Windows, but not really | 17:52 |
| gotcha | so u dont really copy it there? | 17:52 |
| nibbler | gotcha: one makes a symbolic link, this need so space on disk. other makes a copy | 17:52 |
| daftykins | nope, you just let it 'appear' in the destination folder | 17:53 |
| nibbler | so=no | 17:53 |
| gotcha | ah kay, and when the file gets deletet | 17:53 |
| gotcha | the original | 17:53 |
| gotcha | the symbolic link doesnt work anymore? | 17:53 |
| nibbler | the link gets dead | 17:53 |
| daftykins | Flipper, are you running 32-bit? you really shouldn't have needed to do the plugin manually, if this is for firefox | 17:53 |
| gotcha | ah, kay, thx | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | gotcha: if you delete the file, you will have a broken symlink | 17:53 |
| Flipper | is thath in the archiver or in the terminal window | 17:54 |
| daftykins | there's a third one too isn't there? hard links or something | 17:54 |
| daftykins | which makes a copy, and if ever you update one, it updates the other? | 17:54 |
| daftykins | no idea how to make one though ^_^ | 17:54 |
| Akkernight | How do I download GCC? I remember using something else than Add/Remove when I did it back in the day... | 17:54 |
| Sisqdave | this works but it gives me errors at boot | 17:55 |
| Sisqdave | Hi all, I am wondering if anybody has come across boot issues and the folder /dev/by-uuid missing completely? I have had to change my disk UUID to /dev/sda4 in my menu.lst file | 17:55 |
| nado | can somebody tell me if there's a default shortcut for windows+c? i want to bind it to amarok, but it does not respond | 17:55 |
| daftykins | Akkernight, seriously, i recommend you stop trying to install that nvidia driver | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | daftykins: yes hard links but if you delete the file i think the link gets removed but they take up equal space to that which is linked | 17:55 |
| Akkernight | I'm not trying to install the driver o.O I'm trying to start programming xP | 17:55 |
| daftykins | indeed | 17:55 |
| daftykins | lol | 17:55 |
| daftykins | there's no need to lie? | 17:55 |
| daftykins | i just don't know why you're bothering | 17:55 |
| daftykins | i won't help someone that ignores my advice and wastes their time and mine | 17:56 |
| === shipclar is now known as plagerism | ||
| daftykins | Sisqdave, i don't really see any problem in referring to a disk by that instead of UUID, just carry on as-is ? | 17:56 |

| Akkernight | Where did I get it? Some download manager? | 17:57 |
| daftykins | open terminal | 17:58 |
| daftykins | "sudo apt-get install build-essential" :P | 17:58 |

| ActionParsnip | Akkernight: you will then be ready to code in C and C++ | 17:59 |
| daftykins | if he were doing that ;) | 17:59 |
| yuri_ | i think im dealing with a damaged sata drive. | 17:59 |
| Akkernight | ok, awsome ^^ | 18:00 |

| yuri_ | i think im dealing with a damaged sata drive. it will not let me boot up any nix unless I disconect it. it registers in bios but tells me its too slow to respond when i boot up. what do you guys think it is, the drive, sata cable, power cable, mobo(unlikely, i have an identical hdd that works fine) | 18:01 |

| ubottu | admin_masu3701: 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 | 18:17 |

| LjL | Pirate_Hunter: amsn possibly, but i'm not sure | 18:23 |
| LjL | Xanax09: i have no idea what windows media center is like, can you describe it? | 18:23 |
| LjL | admin_masu3701: and mchris is your normal username? | 18:23 |
| admin_masu3701 | yes | 18:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | LjL, i ahve amsn but can't get voice chat, just find it too hard | 18:23 |
| martin__ | admin_masu3701, i need help with camera ID 17a1:0128 kolke | 18:24 |
| Lake | so I was wondering, I got public/private ssh auth working, anyway I could add password server-side challenge to that ? | 18:24 |
| Xanax09 | its a app in windows where you can browse in you music / video files in a nice gui | 18:24 |
| Akkernight | Add the Skype repository*: deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free What's that supposed to mean? | 18:24 |
| Ficthe | yeah Xanax09 -- Entertainer -- http://www.entertainer-project.com/ | 18:24 |
| LjL | admin_masu3701: ok, i have no idea how this happened, but i know how to fix it. you'll have to reboot in recovery mode. that will give you root access. then you can add yourself to the needed groups - admin, for starters - by doing "adduser mchris admin" | 18:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | LjL, do you know of anyother apps that could do the job | 18:24 |
| Xanax09 | Fitcthe thanks ! | 18:24 |
| LjL | admin_masu3701: i recommand also adding yourself to the following other groups: adm disk dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin fuse sambashare | 18:25 |
| Ficthe | Xanax09, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhWbNj0ndN8 for a video | 18:25 |
| Wayder | LjL, can he sudo bash? | 18:25 |
| Xanax09 | Thanks it really looks awesome ! | 18:25 |
| LjL | admin_masu3701: although once you've added yourself to the "admin" group, you can, if you prefer, just reboot and add yourself to those groups later using sudo | 18:25 |

| Droopsta | daftykins:yes | 18:26 |
| martin__ | any one help with this cam >>>>>> ID 17a1:0128 | 18:26 |
| Wayder | admin_masu, pretty much best solution is to login as the sudoer and sudo bash, if you don't have access to that on the localhost, your best bet is for a reinstall unless you are comfortable with safemode | 18:26 |
| daftykins | Droopsta, go to www.cpuid.org and download the program "CPU-Z" run it and look for 64-bit info in the instruction support field on the main tab it opens on | 18:27 |
| Slayer | There are 1455 people here! HELP ME | 18:27 |
| Lake | that looks like a cool interface | 18:27 |
| Droopsta | thanks | 18:27 |
| _VIM_ | !helpme | Slayer | 18:27 |
| ubottu | Slayer: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 18:27 |
| daftykins | Lake, Ficthe that just looks like an XBMC clone | 18:27 |
| LjL | martin__: in 2007, that webcam wasn't supported, though a driver was being developed. i don't know about now. | 18:27 |
| Lake | daftykins: never saw XBMC interface, you may be right | 18:28 |
| admin_masu3701 | wayder: i am really not good at safe mode | 18:28 |
| Slayer | allright, ubottu, thanks. I just really need the help | 18:28 |
| Lake | Slayer: have you explored the Settings - Administrations - Keyboard ? | 18:28 |
| daftykins | i watched some TV on my xbox1 just earlier ^_^ | 18:28 |
| Ficthe | daftykins, I'm not familiar with it -- but the interface of such media applications is bound to be related one way or another | 18:28 |
| _VIM_ | Slayer: if someone knows the answer they will respond :) | 18:28 |
| martin__ | LjL, Tnx | 18:28 |
| daftykins | i was thinking more "looks" as in the backend, not the skin/theme | 18:28 |
| daftykins | but yeah i know what you mean | 18:28 |
| admin_masu3701 | LjL: so how to i reboot in recovery or safe mode? | 18:28 |
| Slayer | Lake - settings - ADMININSTRATORS? Dont have that. I'm on Ubuntu Desktop 8.10... Maybe it was badly translated with me | 18:29 |
| defrysk | :/ | 18:29 |
| Tpg | hey lads, this may sound like a stupid question but which version of the Linux kernel does Ubuntu use exactly? | 18:29 |
| LjL | admin_masu3701: do you see a boot menu when you power on your computer, just after the BIOS hands off control, and just before the Ubuntu logo shows up? | 18:29 |
| Lake | Slayer: yeah sorry, dont use the GUI alot, but basically, you have Applications, Places and Settings as drop-down menus right? | 18:29 |
| defrysk | Tpg, depending on version , try uname -r | 18:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hi i am wondering is there any application that allows voice chat/call through the msn protocol? | 18:30 |
| Tpg | defrysk, alright, cheers! | 18:30 |
| admin_masu3701 | LjL: yes | 18:30 |
| Lake | and in the third tab, Settings, there are two sub-categories, Preferences and another one I forgot the name of | 18:30 |
| joaopinto | Pirate_Hunter, amsn ? | 18:30 |
| Tpg | defrysk, why didnt I think of that before oO | 18:30 |
| FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU | is facebook being a slow cunt for anyone else? i cant load shit | 18:30 |
| Lake | Slayer: in one of those two sub-categories, there is something like Keyboard, or Language, some setting like that | 18:30 |
| LjL | !offtopic | FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU | 18:30 |
| ubottu | FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 18:30 |

| FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU | jesus, calm down | 18:30 |
| Lake | he aint around | 18:31 |
| Tpg | defrysk, version 24 I see :D | 18:31 |
| Tpg | defrysk, un-updated that is, 8.04. No clue if there is something intresting in the updates | 18:31 |
| ADC | Hello everyone. I have ubuntu 8.10 installed. I am using gnome with it. I am currently using xrdp so that I can access the ubuntu server from my vista machine using rdp. Sometimes when i click on something the session crashes. I think its X crashing. Anyone know where I could look to figure out why the session is crashing. I have tried looking at /var/log/xorg.0.log but do not really know what I am looking for | 18:31 |
| Pirate_Hunter | joaopinto, amsn does not allow me to make voice clal even knowing I have the option, there seems to be a bug in it, so i am wondering if there are anyother apps i could use | 18:31 |
| LjL | admin_masu3701: ok, on that menu you should see a recovery mode option. select it (quickly, before it just boots normally). now i think in recent ubuntu versions, you will get another menu instead of a plain shell, i'm not sure, haven't used recovery mode in a long time... anyway, if you do get a menu, just select the option to open a root shell (or terminal or console or what it calls it) | 18:31 |
| LjL | admin_masu3701: when you're there, "adduser mchris admin" | 18:32 |
| LjL | admin_masu3701: it if gives you no error, reboot with "reboot" | 18:32 |
| admin_masu3701 | LjL: thanks | 18:32 |
| admin_masu3701 | let me try | 18:32 |
| === nicolas_ is now known as Guest76051 | ||
| admin_masu3701 | so that is safe mode right | 18:32 |
| LjL | admin_masu3701: it's always been called recovery mode, i don't know if they've changed the name or there's something else called a safe mode | 18:33 |
| admin_masu3701 | ok | 18:33 |
| Slayer | Keyboard or language... huh. I will try that out. Also i need help with another thing - What packages do i need for network-manager-pptp and network-manager-openvpn to be installed properly? I have no internet connection in Ubuntu, because i need these two to connect | 18:34 |
| LjL | admin_masu3701: according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode , it will just give you a root shell without any menu | 18:34 |
| LjL | admin_masu3701: so if that's actually the case, just type "adduser mchris admin" in it and you're done | 18:34 |
| daftykins | Slayer, "apt-cache search blah" may help | 18:35 |
| daftykins | where "blah" is a search term | 18:35 |
| admin_masu3701 | LjL: i will try it now...thank you | 18:35 |
| Slayer | I have no internet connection!... I need it to run apt-things right? | 18:35 |
| daftykins | haha | 18:36 |
| daftykins | good point | 18:36 |
| daftykins | clearly i'm more tired than i thought | 18:36 |
| daftykins | i would've thought it comes with the necessary out of the box? | 18:36 |
| daftykins | does it really not? | 18:36 |
| LjL | Slayer: yes, unless you have an alternate cd avaialble. what do you need to do? you might use another computer to achieve it | 18:36 |
| Slayer | I have no idea... Alternate CD? | 18:36 |
| melrockz | Though I have samba, smbfs installed, I can't connect to a windows share. Why so? | 18:36 |
| LjL | !alternate | Slayer | 18:37 |
| ubottu | Slayer: 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 | 18:37 |
| daftykins | melrockz, "smbfs" and "smbclient" installed yeah? | 18:37 |
| Slayer | errr i installed Ubuntu via Wubi... | 18:37 |
| melrockz | yes. | 18:37 |
| Slayer | Because i do not want that partitioning, formatting | 18:37 |
| Slayer | q | 18:38 |
| Slayer | !LiveCD | 18:38 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 18:38 |
| LjL | Slayer: well anyway even if you do have the alternate cd, it'll only let you install a very restricted selection of packages. so again, just what exactly do you need to do? | 18:38 |
| Slayer | LjL, i need to install these two - network-manager-openvpn and network-manager-pptp | 18:39 |
| Akkernight | "gdebi-gtk: Fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on x server :0.0." I get that error when I try to install Skype for AMD64 | 18:39 |

| LjL | !offline | Slayer | 18:39 |
| ubottu | Slayer: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ (now with Intrepid support) | 18:39 |
| Dreamglider | It has about 65/70Gb of data | 18:39 |

| LjL | dbbolton: but the it in "quotes" | 18:41 |
| dbbolton | _VIM i tried using single and double quotes | 18:41 |
| LjL | dbbolton: eh... i meant put it in "quotes". | 18:41 |
| LjL | dbbolton: that should normally work as well as the "\ " method, but i suppose you can give the latter a try too | 18:42 |

| zoobox | can some share some knowledge on how to do tunneling? | 18:43 |

| zoobox | I want to listen/send multicast udp messages on the network at school, even when I am at home | 18:44 |
| LjL | dbbolton: try it like this: scp daniel@192.168.1.5:"/home/daniel/Music/Daniel\\ Bolton/bones.mp3" | 18:44 |

| daftykins | so how are you trying to access your windows box melrockz ? | 18:44 |
| LjL | masu3701: that was a terrible idea | 18:44 |
| LjL | masu3701: anyway, you can still do it | 18:44 |
| masu3701 | LjL: i can still edit the file? | 18:45 |
| melrockz | by the 'connect to server' in the places menu. | 18:45 |
| dbbolton | LjL i tried using \ too http://pastebin.com/m2bd95e33 | 18:45 |
| LjL | masu3701: when in the boot menu, just hit "e". you'll see a list of lines, hit "e" again, that'll let you edit the first line. to the end of it, add: init=/bin/sh | 18:45 |
| LjL | masu3701: the press Enter, then press "b" to boot. you should be taken to a root shell. | 18:45 |
| Dreamglider | is there any way to check the progress of "dd if=/dev/source of=/dev/destination" ? | 18:46 |
| daftykins | yes Dreamglider | 18:46 |
| daftykins | open another terminal window | 18:46 |
| daftykins | and type "ps -ef | grep dd" | 18:46 |
| dbbolton | ok, i had to put it in double quotes AND use \. thanks | 18:46 |
| daftykins | it should tell you process ID for dd, yes? | 18:46 |
| daftykins | then type "kill -USR1 $PID" | 18:46 |
| daftykins | e.g. your PID could be 1234 so you'd type "kill -USR1 1234" | 18:47 |

| quik | Akkernight, blkid and identify your partition, either have it labeled, know its size or guess by file system type, sudo mkdir /windoze; sudo mount /dev/sda3 !$; cd !$; and dunno where it is from there. | 19:37 |
| homy | hi, on the command line, how can I find out the charset of a plain text file? | 19:37 |

| rayne_ | Does Rythmbox work with Ipod Classic 160g now? | 19:41 |
| Wayder | i have never had any great success with my ipod on my linux box.. | 19:41 |
| bertrand | I'm looking for a way to lock my own computer... for me, seriously. I mean, I spend too much time on it while I am supposed to prepare exams. The first thing I would like to do is to allow the access to the computer only for something like one hour a day. The second think I would like (but I can do without) is to be able to use amarok anyway (and only amarok)... Any, idea ? | 19:42 |
| rayne_ | Last time I tried to hook my Ipod to linux, it destroyed it... supposedly it was fixed, was looking to confirm that. | 19:42 |
| nanotube | bertrand: sudo apt-get install willpower :) | 19:43 |
| Stevethepirate | Heh | 19:43 |
| bertrand | nanotube, with is it ? | 19:43 |
| nanotube | bertrand: it was a joke :) | 19:43 |
| Zarel | So how would I go about telling package maintainers to update their version of http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/warzone2100 | 19:43 |
| Wayder | lol | 19:44 |
| bertrand | nanotube, I guessed | 19:44 |
| bertrand | ^^ | 19:44 |
| nanotube | bertrand: easiest thing to do is just turn off the comp after an hour. other than that... have someone else you trust change the user password, then lock screen. | 19:44 |
| homy | does somebody know how to find out the charset of a plain text file on the command line? | 19:44 |
| daftykins | you could try "file file.blah" ? | 19:45 |
| nanotube | bertrand: there's no tool out there that will actually prevent you from using the computer - it may lock screen, it may suggest a break, etc - but at the end of they day they all allow an override. | 19:45 |
| daftykins | usually gives a bit of info | 19:45 |
| nanotube | bertrand: another easy thing to do: pull the network cable. once there's no internet, the computer becomes a lot less fun. :) | 19:46 |
| Wayder | lol | 19:46 |
| Wayder | If he wants a locking device.. | 19:46 |
| bertrand | nanotube, I'm alone in the apartment... Maybe I should change the password with the eyes closed, or destroy the computer... | 19:46 |
| Wayder | you can always get a wife/gf or S/O | 19:47 |
| nanotube | bertrand: or turn it off. another good option. | 19:47 |
| bertrand | nanotube, already tried, but it is too easy to put the connection back | 19:47 |
| Gregorio | lol | 19:47 |
| Wayder | apt-get install wife | 19:47 |
| homy | daftykins: no, it doesnt work. | 19:47 |
| h00k | man wife | 19:47 |
| Wayder | LOL | 19:47 |
| nanotube | bertrand: turn it off, then put in a sleep script to make the boot time really long (well, like 15 minutes), so that turning it back on is not too "easy" :) | 19:47 |
| Pimp | Wayder: are you sure you want to do that? | 19:47 |
| Wayder | no =) but it will keep your computer time in check, which is what bertrand is dooin =) | 19:48 |
| Pimp | h00k: man wife | less | 19:48 |
| Wayder | lol | 19:48 |
| bertrand | nanotube, Wayder : so, what is for you the best way to make the computer very annoying to use ? | 19:49 |

| nanotube | bertrand: but Wayder's way of "sitting in front of it for 12 hours" tends to work :) | 19:51 |
| Wayder | lol | 19:51 |
| Zarel | No one knows? How do I contact the Ubuntu package maintainers and tell them a certain package is _very_ out of date? | 19:52 |
| nanotube | saurabh: indeed, that's a strange problem. usually people like being able to open www.google.com in the browser :) | 19:52 |
| bertrand | nanotube, yeah, but I am supposed to work | 19:52 |
| saurabh | nanotube:but i m not able tyo open that page | 19:52 |
| saurabh | though my inter net is working properly | 19:52 |
| funkyHat | Dreamglider: depends on a few things, the speed of the drives, whether they are on the same IDE channel (that would slow it down) whether DMA is being used on both. A very vague estimate would be a couple of hours | 19:52 |
| nanotube | Zarel: try in #ubuntu-motu | 19:52 |
| tw1tch | saurabh: do u get a 404 error? | 19:52 |
| saurabh | no i get a login page of my isp | 19:53 |

| === jaan is now known as kittski | ||
| ubottu | Zarel: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 19:53 |
| nanotube | bertrand: just buck up and grow a pair - if you need to work, turn off the screen and/or the comp, and work. :) | 19:53 |
| nanotube | bertrand: the old-fashioned method. | 19:53 |
| saurabh | <tw1tch:i get the login page of my service provider | 19:53 |
| saurabh | though i ahve already logged in | 19:54 |
| Zarel | oCean_: I'm talking about packages in Ubuntu still being a random nightly build when stable versions have been released since then. | 19:54 |
| nanotube | saurabh: if your isp throws up a login page, that's your isp's problem, you should contact them about it. | 19:54 |
| saurabh | thanx | 19:54 |
| nanotube | saurabh: also, it's possible that their login requires cookies - did you enable cookies? | 19:54 |
| saurabh | wats cookies | 19:55 |

| nanotube | saurabh: cookies are little pieces of info that a browser can store, they are frequently used for authentication purposes. | 19:55 |
| oCean_ | Zarel: well, the policy is as explained above. The suggestion to ask in ubuntu-motu seems correct if you want to address the issue | 19:56 |
| saurabh | <nanotube:how to disable taht | 19:56 |

| nanotube | saurabh: no guarantee that it /is/ the cookie problem... but if you're using firefox, go to edit->preferences->privacy and check "accept cookies", and "accept third-party cookies" and set them to "keep until i close firefox" | 19:57 |

| TwistedGhost | tekteen, why can you not help with that? | 20:50 |

| zhurai-tsuki | regular terminal? | 21:06 |
| Nefasto | zhurai-tsuki: what do u need help on? | 21:06 |
| Slart | adem: you mean coloured output from ls? | 21:06 |
| adem | i am using bash | 21:06 |
| Dr_willis | adem, shell programs can use color. What do you mean to say? | 21:06 |
| adem | yes | 21:06 |
| nigtv | suppose that i wanted to get rid of any file or dir with red in the name in the terminal, would i type $grep 'red' * > redrm.txt |rm < redrm.txt, because that isnt working | 21:06 |
| Dr_willis | ls --color | 21:06 |

| ZykoticK9 | ASULutzy1, if you have a gui you might want to try Audacity? | 21:06 |
| Slart | adem: I think the shell itself uses colours by default.. to make ls use colours there is a line or two in... ~/.bashrc or something like that | 21:06 |
| ASULutzy1 | ZykoticK9, nux_explorer: I prefer terminal, but thanks, I'll look into both! | 21:07 |

| zhurai-tsuki | how do I do that? | 21:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | ASULutzy1, you might just use lame to re-encode the incorrectly timed mp3 file you've already made??? | 21:07 |
| Dr_willis | nigtv, the shell supports regular expressions to such a degree that you proberly dont need to use grep to do that. | 21:07 |
| nux_explorer | ASULutzy1> very simple, and it works with wma, ogg... | 21:07 |

| ASULutzy1 | ZykoticK9: Hmmm, is that easy to do? I'm just looking for the simplest way to make 10 mp3's a single mp3 with correct tags :) | 21:08 |

| ASULutzy1 | nigtv: I may have missed what exactly you said, but if you wanted to delete all files or directories in your current directory that contained "red" in their name, you could do rm -rf *red* | 21:09 |

| ASULutzy1 | nigtv: Be careful when you're globbing with rm... | 21:09 |
| Dr_willis | nigtv, if you have SPACES in filenames - that can really mess things up | 21:09 |
| zhurai-tsuki | adem+Slart: since I'm using the default terminal editor, I personally edited the profiles to change the colors | 21:10 |
| ubuntnoob | how do you deal with spaces in filenames? | 21:10 |
| ubuntnoob | i always get an error of file not found- | 21:10 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntnoob, excape them. or quote them, or use the find command instead | 21:10 |
| ASULutzy1 | ubuntnoob: escape them with a backslash. So some file.mp3 would be some\ file.mp3 | 21:10 |
| ubuntnoob | excellent, ty | 21:11 |
| Dr_willis | cp 'foo spacey file' 'other spacey file' | 21:11 |
| cdavis | I need php mailparse for an app but apt-cache doesn't find it on hardy? | 21:11 |
| Dr_willis | its best to NOT use spaces in filenames :) | 21:11 |
| nigtv | zhurai-tsuki: it looks like the power managing package is acpid and acpi-support, dont do any apt stuff until you can verify that with someone who is more knowing though | 21:11 |
| ubuntnoob | yea, i've been slowly converting all that i can | 21:11 |
| Dr_willis | theres dozens of 'convert spaces to _' scripts out. :) | 21:11 |
| nigtv | you should be able to go into synaptic and select mark for reinstallation on those two, but again verify | 21:12 |
| cdavis | I thought that I had installed it before via a apt but cannot remember the name | 21:12 |
| mori | Hi | 21:12 |
| mori | I was trying to install ubuntu with unetbootui (or so) it did a netinstall, but failed at some point when downloading ubuntu desktop. I rebooted after it was stuck for an hours and now I get a "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK" error | 21:13 |
| mori | And neither the broken ubuntu, nor my WinXP would boot anymore ;_; | 21:13 |
| wad | Hi folks. I'm running Ubnutu now! Compiz is working, but I'm still figuring out a few things though... right now I can use ALT-TAB to switch between apps, and it shows a little thumbnail of the app when switching, but the problem is that they all look similar, and I can't tell which is which. I think I'd like to try just showing the icon for the app, instead of the mini-screenshot. | 21:13 |
| guntbert | cdavis: does that help ? http://www.cerb4.com/forums/showthread.php?t=244 | 21:13 |
| mori | any suggestions how I at least get my winxp working again? | 21:13 |
| Dondavid | can someone tell me a prog which show me the temperatur of my hdd and cpu ? | 21:14 |
| wad | I've looked in several places, but I have yet to find a way to make this change. Ideas? | 21:14 |
| Dr_willis | mori, boot a xp cd and use its recovery mode to reinstsall the boot loader. with the fixmbr/fixboot command | 21:14 |
| Dr_willis | mori, assuming the xp parittion is still there. | 21:14 |
| nigtv | ASULutzy1: okay, suppose i wanted to delete in more than my current dir? | 21:14 |
| mori | will try, second... | 21:14 |
| BZH | mori put the cd od windows and see if some dll files are missing try repair windows | 21:14 |
| dcnoye | where do i change the display settings | 21:14 |
| zash | does a simple utility to PXE-boot ubuntu exist? | 21:15 |
| BZH | dcnoye what do ya want to change | 21:15 |
| gldtn | hey guys.. when I try to play a dvd on totem it says GStreamer installation is missing plugins.. how can I fix this? | 21:15 |
| dcnoye | the resolution | 21:15 |
| dcnoye | BZH: the resolution | 21:15 |
| gldtn | any othe player I should try that is perhaps better then totem? | 21:15 |
| nigtv | gldtn: make sure that you have all repositories enabled, and then try again, that should bring up a window to install them | 21:15 |
| BZH | dcnoye preferences resolution :D | 21:15 |
| funkyHat | wad: in the options for the Application Switcher plugin you can tick the box that says 'icon' to get an icon as well as the thumbnail... don't know if you can have just the icon though... | 21:16 |
| hatter243 | gldtn, have you installed the package ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 21:16 |
| mori | fixmbr /fixboot didn't work :( | 21:16 |
| dcnoye | BZH: doh | 21:16 |
| funkyHat | wad: you could also try increasing the zoom level | 21:16 |
| mori | Is that error a BIOS Error, a windows error or a grub error? | 21:16 |
| mehuman | I just built a digital photo frame running ubuntu and am looking for a way to display pictures, weather, and news. Any suggestions? | 21:16 |
| cdavis | guntbert: lol, that is the app I am trying to install, I was hoping for a deb :( Have done a very good job of not installing anything that wasn't a deb | 21:16 |
| nigtv | mehuman: maybe use an rss feed? if you can build one that should work... | 21:16 |
| * wad checks it out | 21:16 | |
| gldtn | hateball, I thought I did.. or maybe not... where can I get info on this.. lol I reinstalled ubuntu like 5 times this past month | 21:17 |
| gldtn | hatter243, | 21:17 |
| nigtv | gldtn: go into synaptic, and then go to...shoot | 21:17 |
| hunt577 | can ndiswrapper be set up on the livecd? | 21:17 |
| nigtv | i havent used the gui in a long time | 21:17 |
| Wayder | !dhcpd | 21:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dhcpd | 21:17 |
| Wayder | !dhcp | 21:18 |
| gldtn | nigtv: I have all checked at the software sources | 21:18 |
| ubottu | 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 | 21:18 |
| nigtv | under one of the menus is an option to edit the repos | 21:18 |
| mehuman | nigtv: I was looking at using screenlets but would like it full screen. I was seeing if there was already a script that did it. Maybe using gd? | 21:18 |
| nigtv | oh | 21:18 |
| mori | <BZH> mori put the cd od windows and see if some dll files are missing try repair windows <== I kinda doubt that, unless the ubuntu netinstall removes DLLs. | 21:18 |
| hatter243 | gldtn, ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 21:18 |
| guntbert | cdavis: sorry then, I asked google for "php mailparse ubuntu", read the first lines and sent the link to you - didn't see that you have to compile it yourself :( | 21:18 |
| mori | I just wonder what causes that error, is it the bios itself? | 21:18 |
| nigtv | mehuman: no clue, never done something like that, i use snownews, but im only in console not x, so im not sure | 21:18 |
| tyta | is xubuntu really use a SIGNIFIGANT amount LESS resources than ubuntu? | 21:18 |
| gldtn | hatter243, yes | 21:18 |
| Wayder | the repo menu? its under System > Admin > Software sources | 21:18 |
| Dr_willis | mori, boot loader dident install proerly perhaps.. its hard to tell | 21:18 |
| === defcon is now known as Guest15262 | ||
| BZH | mori if its not vista its not bios | 21:19 |
| mori | well, fixmbr didn't work at least. | 21:19 |
| mori | It's WinXP 32 | 21:19 |
| stefg | tyta: in terms of ram: yes | 21:19 |
| nigtv | tyta: define significant | 21:19 |
| BZH | mori i have one thing to say for ya | 21:19 |
| mori | Yes? | 21:19 |
| Dr_willis | mori, try fixboot | 21:19 |
| gldtn | hatter243, oh how can I checked to see if they are installed? | 21:19 |
| Wayder | tyta: lets put it this way... I cannot install ubuntu on a machine were I can install xubuntu | 21:19 |
| tyta | i've got an old win2000 machine with about 200 mb ram. i want to build for a friend's kid | 21:19 |
| mori | Dr_willis - Tried that before. Can try again of course. | 21:20 |
| tyta | things like tux math, paint, educational software | 21:20 |
| BZH | mori first is there any date you need from that partitin if not remove the XP and try to make a virtual mashine or just use wine | 21:20 |
| tyta | it has edubuntu on it now | 21:20 |
| Dr_willis | mori, theres 2 commands that ive used fixboot, and fixmbr both do seperate things | 21:20 |
| nigtv | gldtn: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:20 |
| hatter243 | gldtn, it's a meta package ubuntu-restricted-extras is a pointer to a bunch of totem plugins for dvds, flash, java, some fonts, blahblah. | 21:20 |
| tyta | it just runs kinda slow, and before I install xubuntu i want to know if it's worth my time | 21:20 |
| Dr_willis | mori, other then that.. I suggest going to #windows | 21:20 |
| Wayder | tyta: my employer asked me to turn a library of 15 computers into a computer resource for students of the school.. the computers are >500mghz procs, with >128mb ram. I was unable to install ubuntu.. xubuntu worked without a hitch | 21:20 |
| nigtv | gldtn: type that in the terminal, if they are installed it will say so, if not it will show a list of any not installed | 21:20 |
| tyta | Wayder, thanks! | 21:21 |
| stefg | tyta: xubuntu.... and consider epiphany instead of firefox (which is a ram pig because of the xul toolkit) | 21:21 |
| tyta | Wayder, the only prob is that this thing has no cd rom | 21:21 |
| Wayder | tyta: sorry, that was < not > | 21:21 |
| mori | ok, thx | 21:21 |
| stefg | !install | tyta | 21:22 |
| ubottu | tyta: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate | 21:22 |
| tyta | Wayder, i misunderstood | 21:22 |
| Wayder | tyta: basicaly, if you have a computer with more then 256 ram, you can install ubuntu | 21:22 |
| gldtn | thanks guys.. none was installed.. I think I had it installed before I started formating my computer to test other linux distros | 21:22 |
| Wayder | ram is the failpoint with the ubuntu install.. | 21:22 |
| lexvegas | mori, try supergrubdisc. http://stmaarten.globat.com/~supergrubdisk.org/ | 21:23 |
| === Haibane is now known as Elda | ||
| Wayder | whats the minimum install req for the graphical ubuntu install? | 21:23 |
| nigtv | gldtn: come back if you still have trouble, you may want to check the repo thing too | 21:23 |
| Elda | Bleh... someone was using my name again -_- | 21:23 |
| nigtv | Wayder: what version? | 21:23 |
| BZH | tyta mine is with 512 and i aha compiz running like hell :D except water effercts | 21:23 |
| Wayder | ubuntu 8.10 with educational package | 21:23 |
| BZH | *have | 21:23 |
| Wayder | 192mb i think? | 21:24 |
| Jufis | Is there any other system process/resource viewers than htop? | 21:24 |
| Elda | I am curious, what is the command to run a program from the terminal? I want to execute a program | 21:24 |
| Wayder | elda, depends on the program | 21:24 |
| stefg | Wayder: ubuntu-desktop install needs around 300 MB... but on anything with less than 512 MB i wouldn't run gnome | 21:24 |
| Elda | It is writing to a /home/mp3/ and its a script like little program so I need to do so through gedit | 21:24 |
| Dr_willis | There are several 'run dialog' programs out there. some are built in to the various window managers also | 21:24 |
| Elda | It is a "shell script" | 21:24 |
| gldtn | nigtv, thanks.. I checked the repo.. went to software sources and checked all the third party stuff and the software restricted or copyrighted line | 21:25 |
| Wayder | stefg, yeh, xfce is better if <256 | 21:25 |
| Elda | Trying to run yt2mp3 | 21:25 |
| Wayder | elda, simply chmod +x <filename> | 21:25 |
| nigtv | Wayder: that info is on the main page, just google | 21:25 |
| Elda | ty :) | 21:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | Wayder, according to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 the only real requirement seems to be 256MB ram | 21:25 |
| === Andry_Work is now known as AndryZ | ||
| Wayder | and ./<filename> | 21:25 |
| Wayder | i was just asking out of curiosity lol | 21:25 |
| Qwell | Is there a better channel for the SPARC port of Ubuntu? Having issues on a sun4v | 21:25 |
| stefg | ZykoticK9: that's theory... | 21:25 |
| olivier | i've ubuntu on my old pc too | 21:26 |
| Wayder | but thanks for being all gungho ! :) | 21:26 |
| BZH | stefg if you dont use compiz you can run ubuntu on 256 believe me | 21:26 |
| nigtv | oh lol sorry ;) | 21:26 |
| ubp123 | why xmm2-tray is not be available for listtenning free internet radio while rhythmbox could listen with the said radio ? | 21:26 |
| olivier | video card with only 16mo | 21:26 |
| stefg | BZH: not run ... just walk :-) | 21:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | stefg, TRUE!!! but 8.10 does run fine on my EEE which is pretty low powered system, does have more then 256MB ram though?!? | 21:26 |
| TwistedGhost | tekteen, you there? | 21:26 |
| tyta | can anyone help me understand this command? sudo chmod 'whoami':'whoami' | 21:26 |
| tyta | from the page http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html | 21:26 |
| tekteen | yeo | 21:27 |
| BZH | stefg lol nooooooooooooooo believe me i had 256 ;) and it was running the same like 512 but no compiz then | 21:27 |
| Qwell | tyta: That isn't what the command is. | 21:27 |
| Wayder | tyta: check the man pages for chmod | 21:27 |
| Qwell | it would be sudo chmod `whoami`:`whoami` | 21:27 |
| fouad | im having a problem with apt | 21:27 |
| fouad | im using Ubuntu 8.10 | 21:27 |
| Qwell | which will set the user and group to be the user you're running as (which is dumb, but whatever..) | 21:27 |
| Wayder | fouad: you having problems with aptitude as well? | 21:27 |
| nigtv | fouad: youll get better responses if you type it all in one line :) | 21:28 |
| fouad | im using apt-get | 21:28 |
| tyta | 'whoami' = tyta | 21:28 |
| tyta | ? | 21:28 |
| Wayder | try aptitude in your cline | 21:28 |
| Qwell | tyta: ` is not the same as ' | 21:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | tyta, that will change the user & group ownership to your user but i'm not sure it's 'whoami', think it might be `whoami`??? | 21:28 |
| thomaspari | ciao | 21:28 |
| thomaspari | !list | 21:28 |
| ubp123 | whoami command is not correct ,after all ? | 21:28 |

| tyta | but "who am i" is the user right? | 21:29 |
| tekteen | whoami | 21:29 |
| nigtv | okay im still wondering i know the command "$rm -rf *red*" will get rid of anything with red in the name in my current dir, but how do i make this rm in any dir? | 21:29 |
| tyta | I am going to attempt to install this way: http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html | 21:29 |
| tekteen | tyta: or "whoami" or "echo $USER" | 21:29 |

| nigtv | fouad: im assuming you have mplayer installed, correct? | 21:35 |
| Dr_willis | CentHOGG, im pretty sure its compressed, may be compressed ext2 | 21:35 |
| fouad | yes | 21:35 |

| nigtv | its a text based browser for the terminal | 21:37 |
| Qwell | if it's ext2, just add -t ext2 | 21:37 |
| funkyHat | DrHalan: there's not one that I can think of, vim-outliner is basically just a way of manipulating a plain text list/outline (it can do check boxes and tell you what % of a particular section is checked, but that's as advanced as it gets. It is very fast though, after learning all the keys to use it! | 21:37 |

| gizmo_the_great | does any1 exactly where the Ubuntu distribution ID value is stored? Example, Ubuntu 8.10 - where is the value '8.10' actually stored? I have loo9ked at the lsb_release function but having read the code I can't work out exactly where the program is pulling the value from | 21:48 |
| Gnea | gizmo_the_great: /etc/lsb-release | 21:48 |
| gizmo_the_great | Gnea: thats the python script - I don't think the actual value is stored in it, is it? | 21:49 |

| liminal | hi | 21:49 |
| Gnea | gizmo_the_great: no, it's not a script, it's a configuration file. all configuration files are stored, in /etc, since that is the purpose of /etc. a script that performs any function would not reside in /etc. | 21:49 |
| liminal | im here to beg for help | 21:49 |
| dlmarti | gizmo_the_great, it was a guess :) | 21:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | gizmo_the_great, it's not actually stored in /etc/issue! | 21:50 |
| nigtv | fouad: whats the filename | 21:50 |
| Qwell | Anybody feel like debugging an awesome SPARC install issue? http://pastebin.com/m65423057 | 21:50 |

| liminal | and today, poof no sound | 21:50 |

| gizmo_the_great | ZykoticK9: The value is in /etc/issue - is that just reading it from somewhere else then? If so, do you know where? | 21:50 |
| liminal | anyone got any ideas? | 21:51 |
| sinelaw | can someone help me debug a problem? | 21:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | gizmo_the_great, I have NO idea - i'm not a programmer at all | 21:51 |
| sinelaw | or is there a channel for bug reporting? | 21:51 |
| guntbert | gizmo_the_great: believe Gnea ; the config file is /etc/lsb-release | 21:51 |

| gizmo_the_great | guntbert: I have read through lsb_release and used one of it's defined functions, and it generates '8.10' as part of the outptu, but I cannot see where it gets that value from | 21:52 |
| liminal | can someone try to help me get my sound back :( | 21:52 |
| nigtv | fouad: im no good with this, im afraid im inclined to cease and desist any implied offer of advice due to my ineptitude with regards to not booting up x :( | 21:52 |
| Gnea | gizmo_the_great: as I have told you, it gets the value from the /etc/lsb-release file | 21:53 |
| guntbert | gizmo_the_great: /etc/lsb-release *not* lsb_release!!! | 21:53 |
| nigtv | liminal: youre going to have to give them more information than that :) | 21:53 |
| gizmo_the_great | Gnea: if you open that file and read through it, can you tell me where you see the version number? | 21:53 |
| liminal | nigtv thats all i really have, yesturday my sound was working - today it isnt | 21:53 |
| gizmo_the_great | guntbert: you're splitting hairs :-) | 21:53 |
| Gnea | gizmo_the_great: it's self-explanatory. if you try editing the release id, save it, then run lsb_release -a, you will see that it changes. good luck. | 21:54 |
| fouad | nigtv: no problem mate. thanx anyway | 21:54 |
| liminal | i thinjk somthing must have updated | 21:54 |
| guntbert | gizmo_the_great: no, those are two different files | 21:54 |
| gizmo_the_great | guntbert: I only have lsb-release on my system. | 21:54 |
| liminal | if you have any ideas how to debug a no sound issue ill try them all | 21:54 |

| ZykoticK9 | joeburns, have you installed ndiswrapper (ndisgtk is a frontend i'd imagine) | 21:56 |

| oshua86 | hello guys, where can I can find really good ubuntu themes?, Ive googled some but I was wondering if you had some other sites | 21:56 |
| oshua86 | thanks | 21:56 |
| guntbert | !themes | oshua86 | 21:56 |
| ubottu | oshua86: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 21:56 |
| joeburns | yes, i installed ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper utils 1.9, i can see them in the synaptic package manager, i thought that would solve the problem but nothing has changed | 21:56 |
| nigtv | oshua86: if you got the big pack of them then youre good to go | 21:56 |
| nigtv | see ubottu link^ | 21:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | oshua86, also check out http://compiz-themes.org/ if you've got compiz running | 21:57 |
| Droopsta915 | Can I install linux from an iso on my flashdrive? Just boot from the flash, or do I need to burn the iso first? | 21:57 |
| Wayder | lol? I think that when you buy a computer there should be a skill testing question... | 21:57 |
| nigtv | Droopsta915: how big is the flash drive | 21:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | anyway to add http://compiz-themes.org/ to the output of !themes ??? | 21:58 |
| gizmo_the_great | Gnea: ZykoticK9 guntbert - OK. As I understand it, lsb-release is a script/program that, when executed, outputs the distribution data about the operating system. The values themselves are not hardcoded in that file - if you open it and look for the release ID of your OS, it is not in there. It calculates the value by running various functions. | 21:58 |
| Dr_willis | Droopsta915, use unetbootin tomake a bootable intaller-thumbdrive -is the easy way | 21:58 |
| Wayder | that is not directed to anyone here.. sorry, the woes or working techsupport =) | 21:58 |
| nigtv | yea thats what i was gonna say, just install to it then copy the files | 21:58 |
| gizmo_the_great | If you can tell me what line of that file says "Ubuntu version 8.10" please tell me | 21:58 |
| nigtv | gizmo_the_great: what file? because you can just use grep...that will tell you exactly that | 21:59 |
| liminal | the only thing of note ive installed isa pcsc0lite demon | 21:59 |
| liminal | but that wouldnt have effected the sound | 21:59 |
| liminal | =there was an automatic update also | 21:59 |
| Gnea | gizmo_the_great: no, it does not calculate it. you've read it completely wrong. | 21:59 |
| haytham-med | hi all i installed ubuntu restricted extras then i removed them but the firefox font didnot change | 21:59 |
| liminal | im not sure what that installed | 21:59 |
| myf | hi anyone configured shell-fm and got it to work? | 21:59 |
| Droopsta915 | Dr_willis:is that on linux | 21:59 |
| nigtv | haytham-med: that package does not have fonts as far as i know | 22:00 |
| gizmo_the_great | Gnea: OK, so assuming you know where I am wrong, hopefully you can tell me where it is getting that value from? | 22:00 |
| haytham-med | it has microsoft fonts | 22:00 |
| Dr_willis | Droopsta915, its avail for windows and linux.. UBUNTU has its own usb-disk tool thats better. :) | 22:00 |
| nigtv | well you could just restore defaults in firefox, or reinstall it | 22:00 |
| Wayder | !upgrade | 22:01 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 22:01 |
| gizmo_the_great | Gnea: it's not massively apparent is it. | 22:01 |
| Gnea | gizmo_the_great: I have already told you where it gets the value from. You have failed to follow those steps. But, I'll point it out to you again: in the /etc/lsb-release file (which you can look at by opening a Terminal, and then typing the following command: cat /etc/lsb-release) you can see the variables that are clearly defined (I'm not pasting them here, since pasting is against channel guidelines, plus you can read them for yourself, and everyone els | 22:02 |
| nigtv | i believe that if you go into the firefov directory, there is a .fonts folder, just get rid of all the ones that dont have the same modify date as the original install if you really want them gone, but you can just change it in firefox, might be easier | 22:02 |
| CentHOGG | hi, help with RAID0/initrd.img pleez... getting mdadm: no devices found for conf | 22:02 |

| CentHOGG | but have checked out my initrd.img and only found something strange about my scsi-id file | 22:03 |
| liminal | nigtv is there a way to see what the update manager has ibstalled recenty? | 22:03 |
| Gnea | gizmo_the_great: and, again, you can simple change a variable in the /etc/lsb-release file to something else, saving the file, then running this command again: lsb_release -a (please note the difference between the - and the _ ) and you will see that there is no calculation taking place. | 22:03 |

| nigtv | hmm... | 22:04 |
| gizmo_the_great | Gnea: I'm obviously not explaining what I am trying to do properly. I will keep looking. But what I am trying to say is that cat /etc/lsb-release does not output something that is contained in lsb-release - it outputs something that it works out frm the OS. | 22:04 |

| nigtv | you shouldnt have to change it | 22:08 |

| lexvegas | ZykoticK9, in chmod whoami : whoami the first whoami is the username and the second one is the group which the file belongs to | 22:12 |
| lexvegas | that is, the username that you want the file to be owned by | 22:13 |
| Dube2 | t | 22:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | lexvegas, actually i think the command you're looking for is chown, chmod is different | 22:13 |
| nigtv | Nefasto: i feel your pain, took me about 3 days just to get a dualboot with xp and 7.10 running | 22:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | lexvegas, chmod is used like "chmod ugo+rwx file" vs "chown user:group file"??? | 22:14 |
| Nefasto | nigtv: no no.. everything was fine untill today! install windows, then install ubuntu, and it´s dualbooting seamlessly... | 22:14 |
| nigtv | so then whats the problem? | 22:14 |
| Nefasto | nigtv: the machine was booted into windows, then I installed QuickTime, and it asked to restart... then grub is now showing the Error 17. | 22:15 |

| DaniilK | I'm on Ubuntu 8.10, and I cannot standby (suspend) properly. My fan does not shut off, and I cannot bring my computer back from its state, so I have to restart it. How can I fix this? | 22:17 |
| nigtv | if its beeping from the system speaker inside the computer, then ubuntu doesnt recognize that you have speakers | 22:17 |
| nigtv | Nefasto: /boot/grub/menu.lst, BUT | 22:18 |
| ioops2 | g | 22:18 |
| nigtv | before you do anything, cd /boot/grub and then cp menu.lst menu.lst.backup | 22:18 |
| nigtv | so you can make sure if you do something wierd you can get it back | 22:18 |
| DaniilK | nigtv: that is not true. ubuntu uses my speakers fine, but it beeps the system beep, not the speakers | 22:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | DaniilK, what system you using? laptop i assume? | 22:18 |
| DaniilK | ZykoticK9: surprisingly, no. i'm on a custom desktop PC | 22:19 |

| mycroes | quick question... I have a RAID 5 array with LVM on top, if I install using the alternate install cd will I have no issues with this configuration at all? | 22:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | admin_masu3701, System / Admin / Users & Groups - double click your user, User Privileges tab, check "Administer the system" | 22:27 |
| mycroes | I don't want to recreate my array or my volumegroup of course | 22:27 |
| geurt | i have a question... today i installed Debian Lenny on a Dell 2950 server... i had to manually load the non-free bnx2 firmware... does Ubuntu has this firmware included by the install cd? | 22:27 |
| Dr_willis | geurt, if its non-free - i doubt it. | 22:28 |
| liminal | im getting no sound from extneral spoeakers plugged in | 22:28 |

| admin_masu3701 | Zykotick9: it says: The configuration could not be loaded..you are not allowed to access the system configuration | 22:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | admin_masu3701, have any other account on this system? | 22:29 |
| mycroes | admin_masu3701, use su <admin_user> | 22:29 |

| mycroes | rww, should I ask concerning the other stuff there too? It's more ubuntu generic than jaunty specific | 22:30 |

| Pazy | Can someone help me get flash working please. I just installed from a 8.04 disk and installed flash (flashpluginnonfree I think) and it didnt work in the preinstalled firefox. I tried getting the .deb and then the .tar.gz manual installation but I still cant get it to work. | 22:32 |
| mycroes | admin_masu3701, normally the output of groups should list stuff like 'admin', 'dialout' and more for the default user created by the installer | 22:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | mycroes, admin_masu3701 this seems like a bit of a catch22 situation, how can a non-admin users add themselves to the admin group??? | 22:32 |
| mycroes | easy | 22:33 |
| nigtv | Pazy: you can get it from the flash site, and its free | 22:33 |
| mycroes | admin_masu3701, I think you need to boot in safe mode | 22:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | evilbug, sorry i assumed you where using gnome - i don't use XFCE so I got nothing sorry. | 22:33 |
| mycroes | admin_masu3701, that should drop you to a root (superuser) shell | 22:33 |
| Pazy | nigtv: I did, I download the .deb and the .tar.gz version but neither is working. | 22:33 |
| evilbug | ZykoticK9: no worries. | 22:33 |
| mycroes | admin_masu3701, there you can add yourself to the correct groups again | 22:33 |
| admin_masu3701 | mycroes: i did that and added myself to admin | 22:33 |
| nigtv | did you build and install it? | 22:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | Pazy, did you restart firefox after flash install? | 22:33 |
| admin_masu3701 | but no change | 22:34 |
| mycroes | admin_masu3701, as long as "groups" doesn't list admin, you're not in the admin group | 22:34 |
| Pazy | Yes I restarted firefox. And I didnt have to build it the .deb I double click the and the synaptic thing took care of it and the .tar.gz unzipped to an install I ran from the command line. | 22:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | admin_masu3701, you're not in the admin group now, you might want to try again. | 22:34 |
| mycroes | admin_masu3701, how did you add yourself to the admin group in safe mode? | 22:34 |
| Qube | Hi all, | 22:35 |
| nigtv | also, i had problems with that too because i got the most recent flash player, but only had the firefox that was in the repos, which is an old version | 22:35 |
| nigtv | do you have the latest firefox installed? | 22:35 |
| Pazy | I only have the one in the repo I think. Ill update and see what happens. | 22:35 |
| nigtv | you will have to reinstall flash after that as well Pazy, the new install will overwrite it | 22:36 |

| mycroes | admin_masu3701, yes you can, press e when highlighting the default entry | 22:36 |

| mycroes | admin_masu3701, ok | 22:36 |
| nigtv | andash: comment it out in a text editor, add # before the line | 22:37 |
| mycroes | admin_masu3701, well then I think you need to boot from a livecd, mount your install, chroot into your install, add yourself to the admin group, exit chroot, unmount, reboot | 22:37 |

| RoastedTiresX | When using Samba with Ubuntu, is it about average to get 8.8MB/second from 1 wired device to another wired device on a 10/100 switch? | 22:46 |
| mycroes | admin_masu3701, also I assumed your username is mchris (got that from the groups output) | 22:46 |
| DasEI | jonathon: it's same in 8.04 and 8.10 | 22:46 |
| nigtv | okay, one more, i know that if i $rm -rf *red*, i will delete everything with red in the name in my current dir, but how do i make this do all dirs? | 22:46 |

| epictetu1 | RoastedTiresX: Yeah... | 22:46 |
| mycroes | admin_masu3701, and last but not least this should work, but if any of the steps fail it won't work (except for unmounting perhaps :P) | 22:46 |
| oshua86 | so, when I try to install some engines it tells me that "GTK+2.8" needs to be installed, how do I do this? | 22:46 |
| DasEI | jonathon: in general there's always the fact to have an unencrypted /boot | 22:46 |
| jonathon | right, with you there | 22:46 |
| epictetu1 | RoastedTiresX: Theoretical maximum assuming there were no overhead should be 12.5 megs/second (100 megabits = 12.5 megabytes) | 22:47 |
| RoastedTiresX | epictetul - is that about what windows XP to windows XP gets too on a 10/100 switch? Like the fact I'm using Ubuntu/Samba, would that hinder speeds? | 22:47 |
| epictetu1 | but usually there's a significant amount of overhead (packet headers, other packets, etc etc) | 22:47 |

| mycroes | admin_masu3701, then it's /dev/sda3 | 22:50 |

| RoastedTiresX | epictetul - Question. I have a router... off of the router I have the switch... When I'm trasnferring data between 2 computesr on the switch, does the data bounce up to the router?

| mrwes | re | 22:52 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, you add your arch entries to the ubuntu grub by hand | 22:53 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, only makes upgrading kernels on arch a bit harder | 22:53 |
| mrwes | ilovebrownies, just make sure you put them below the magic Ubuntu entry line | 22:53 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, another possibility is to install the arch grub on a partition instead of the mbr, and then chainload that partition from the ubuntu grub | 22:53 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, but chainloading a second grub sounds kinda useless to me, it's just less work maintaining in the end perhaps | 22:54 |
| DasEI | RoastedTiresX: just the switch, it does the adressing-thing | 22:54 |
| mycroes | admin_masu3701, sorry, didn't see your question yet, yes, the line will become "mount /dev/sda3 /mnt" | 22:55 |
| admin_masu3701 | mycroes: so let me double check the commands and instruction to see if i got it right before i boot the cd | 22:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | RoastedTiresX, that is assuming that it really is a "switch" and not a "hub" | 22:55 |
| ilovebrownies | mycroes, I didn't know how to do this, because I got confused thinking about /boot | 22:55 |
| admin_masu3701 | mycroes: sudo -s | 22:55 |

| admin_masu3701 | chroot /mnt/bin/bash | 22:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | RoastedTiresX, yes, then DasEI answer is correct | 22:56 |
| admin_masu3701 | gpasswd -a mchris admin | 22:56 |
| admin_masu3701 | exit | 22:56 |
| admin_masu3701 | unmount /mnt | 22:56 |
| mycroes | admin_masu3701, "chroot /mnt /bin/bash" <<< there's a space between '/mnt' and '/bin/bash' | 22:56 |
| admin_masu3701 | ok | 22:56 |
| RoastedTiresX | sweet deal. I always wnated to get a gigabit network going, but if that meant my 10/100 ports on my router would bottleneck everything, I didn't want to even bother with upgrading the switch only | 22:56 |
| mycroes | and it's "umount /mnt", without the N | 22:56 |
| ilovebrownies | mycroes, what do I add exactly? | 22:56 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, ubuntu grub is currently installed to your mbr, right? | 22:57 |
| DasEI | nigtv:the -are does this already, see man rm | 22:57 |
| DasEI | -r | 22:57 |
| ilovebrownies | mycroes, yes | 22:57 |
| dotblank | If I break my grub install how can I re-install it from an ubuntu-live cd | 22:57 |
| admin_masu3701 | mycroes: so i will boot up the cd and try...thanks alot for your help | 22:58 |

| ZykoticK9 | DasEI, ilovebrownies actually it doesn't, it tested "-r" does mean recursive, but it doesn't work in the way that ilovebrownies wants :( | 22:58 |

| mycroes | ilovebrownies, do you know what device is /boot for your arch install? | 22:58 |
| dotblank | help.ubuntu.com seems to be down | 22:59 |
| ilovebrownies | mycroes, you mean which HDD? | 22:59 |
| DasEI | ZykoticK9: try -R ? | 22:59 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, no, I mean which linux block device | 22:59 |
| === defcon is now known as Guest15469 | ||
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, or grub device identifier will do | 22:59 |
| dotblank | !grub | 22:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | DasEI, no change | 22:59 |
| 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 | 22:59 |
| dotblank | ^^ would do that but link is broken | 22:59 |
| ilovebrownies | mycroes, I know that it's sda6 if that helps? | 22:59 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, yes that does help | 23:00 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, the grub identifier for that will be (hd0,5) | 23:00 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, now you just need to do 2 things | 23:00 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, first, start grub (from a terminal), type "root (hd0,5)", type "setup (hd0,5)", type "exit" | 23:01 |
| DasEI | dotblank: looks like, let's meet in #grub, k ? | 23:01 |
| dotblank | k | 23:01 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, this should give some output saying it found some stuff (stage1, stage2 or something like that) | 23:01 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, when that's done, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add a chainload entry for (hd0,5) | 23:02 |
| RoastedTiresX | epictetul - I just did a transfer test with a 1gb file. It took me 2 minutes and 10 seconds to transfer, which comes out to about 8.5MB/second. So I guess I'm still hanging around the low end of things. | 23:02 |
| tyta | tekteen is wayyyy too good at *nix | 23:02 |
| ilovebrownies | mycroes, to run grub in a terminal I just type grub? | 23:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | FYI it does appear that help.ubuntu.com is currently down... | 23:02 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, yes, maybe "sudo grub" :P | 23:03 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, I guess you need to be root, and grub might be in /sbin too, so try "sudo grub" | 23:03 |
| tekteen | lmao | 23:03 |
| imfluxible | has anybody downloaded pyscrabble from synaptic? i am having trouble understanding the configuration process. you have to enter some sort of hostname:port number ... and i don't know what to put there. it offers you a couple of public servers, and says it will save the info, but doesn't seem to work. | 23:03 |

| rascal999 | but then pxe reports a boot filename not received, is this indicative of no tftp in place or? | 23:07 |

| tekteen | mycroes: what are you doing the setup cmd for? | 23:09 |
| ilovebrownies | mycroes, I think I installed grub from the Arch installer, but didn't configure it. | 23:09 |
| getBoa | tekteen: got it... well so it might be worth the installation... my machine is not that slow but i wanna speed up as much as possible | 23:09 |
| tekteen | liminal: that is not a "I need a driver problem". Next time, just say what is going on | 23:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | austin, do you get any cards with "dmesg | grep eth"? | 23:09 |
| tekteen | getBoa: I would not do it if it is not unbarably slow | 23:10 |
| soreau | Is there a log of updates performed by update-manager or if you do apt-get update/upgrade? | 23:10 |
| GeorgeAScott | ive been to every device in volume control and made sure nothing is muted... several times now. i still can't get any sound to capture. | 23:10 |
| liminal | ah well the problem is my sound has disappeared and ive no idea why | 23:10 |
| tekteen | mycroes: is ubuntu's grub installed? or arch | 23:10 |
| getBoa | tekteen: it's a AMD Turion X2-64 2gig ram 250hd... | 23:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | austin, something with "addr 00:xx:xx..." | 23:11 |
| AdamDV | HOw do II do an OEM install of ubuntu 8.10? | 23:11 |

| getBoa | tekteen: :-) | 23:11 |
| tekteen | ilovebrownies: so what you need to do is add an entry to ubuntu's menu.list to start arch | 23:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | austin, if it's working again, it's all good | 23:11 |
| === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ | ||

| ilovebrownies | tekteen, yes, but I don't know how exactly | 23:12 |
| austin | ZyoticK9, my server won't display anything htough | 23:12 |

| Gartral1 | sometimes you just have to accept that it's working without understanding why | 23:13 |

| ZykoticK9 | austin, sorry i thought you where the one without a network card???? | 23:13 |
| tekteen | mycroes: I have never done chain loading before | 23:13 |
| austin | ZykoticK9, i was...i thought that was the problem.. Now my server won't show anything | 23:13 |
| Gartral1 | slitly noobish Q: how do i tell what filesystem im running from in the console? | 23:13 |

| === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz | ||
| tekteen | shouldn't there be a package from arch to do it? | 23:16 |
| |chiz| | Gartral1: cat /etc/mtab | 23:16 |
| mycroes | tekteen, from ilovebrownies' comments I assume he has an arch install that uses grub | 23:16 |
| mycroes | tekteen, to do what? | 23:16 |
| ilovebrownies | tekteen, I installed grub on Arch, but probably not correctly | 23:16 |
| austin | ZykoticK9, still doing it | 23:16 |
| mycroes | tekteen, normally you isntall grub to the mbr | 23:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | AdamDV, what do you mean by OEM install are you an Origion Equipment Manufactuer? | 23:17 |
| mycroes | tekteen, but you can't use two different configs with just one grub install | 23:17 |
| liminal | i was using OSS mixer for my sound card offical driver | 23:17 |
| |chiz| | Gartral1: mount does pretty much the same too | 23:17 |
| austin | as in it wont work | 23:17 |
| tekteen | mycroes: I know, but if you are chainloading, you need to install it to /boot on arch | 23:17 |
| lexvegas | AdamDV you should be able to select the option when you inseret the cd, before you select "try Ubuntu" | 23:17 |
| tekteen | mycroes: I know | 23:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | austin, still doing what? restarting? | 23:17 |
| mycroes | tekteen, yes, so I explained him how to install grub to his arch /boot :P | 23:17 |

| Dr_willis | backenfutter, thas because the appis in the vncserver packages.. i imagine.. | 23:24 |
| mycroes | ilovebrownies, then add the entry for the kernel | 23:24 |

| tekteen | ilovebrownies: why do you need to create a new partition? | 23:32 |
| ilovebrownies | tekteen: mycroes told me I needed to | 23:33 |
| tekteen | ok | 23:33 |
| AdamDV | !find openssh | 23:33 |
| ubottu | Found: openssh-blacklist, openssh-blacklist-extra, openssh-client, openssh-server | 23:33 |
| AdamDV | !find sshfs | 23:34 |
| ubottu | Found: sshfs | 23:34 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | AdamDV: you can do that in pvt with ubottu | 23:34 |
| AdamDV | Heh. Sorry. | 23:34 |
| ilovebrownies | tekteen: I tried installing grub to the / partition I created for arch | 23:34 |
| mattfred | what is a good channel to go to ask questions? | 23:34 |
| AdamDV | hs one.. | 23:34 |

| isteal | i need help pairing bluetooth headphones and today is my first day with ubuntu... anyone help? | 23:35 |
| DasEI | !ot > mattfred | 23:35 |
| ilovebrownies | tekteen: nothing, I installed grub from the arch installer first, then I tried what mycroes suggested | 23:35 |
| ubottu | mattfred, please see my private message | 23:35 |
| zoobox | good evening | 23:36 |

| mattfred | Is there a way to disable the default key ring so I don't have to type my password every time i use evolution and/or my wireless connection? | 23:36 |
| tekteen | ilovebrownies: I really have no idea where you are in the process lol | 23:37 |
| zoobox | the pager for man is less I think, are there any other key than q to quit the manpage without removing the part of the manpage you read? | 23:37 |
| tekteen | ilovebrownies: I am really sorry | 23:37 |
| zoobox | q removes the man-text from the screen, I want to have still there while I write my command | 23:38 |
| Webu | If I start a background command by using &, how can I access it? | 23:38 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | zoobox: q quits manpage, if you want open another terminal (CLI) and do commands in there | 23:38 |
| === JustinRyan_ is now known as JustinRyan | ||
| tekteen | ilovebrownies: I need to go now. sorry | 23:38 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | zoobox: you can also open another TAB on the terminal | 23:38 |
| ilovebrownies | tekteen: I did a new arch insall, including grub on the / partition for arch, then I rebooted, and only ubuntu showed up in grub | 23:38 |
| ilovebrownies | tekteen: Ok | 23:39 |
| tekteen | ok | 23:39 |
| zoobox | H3l1c0pt3r: Tab? | 23:39 |
| tekteen | um | 23:39 |
| tekteen | I can stay a little longer I guess | 23:39 |
| mattfred | Is there a way to disable the default key ring so I don't have to type my password every time i use evolution and/or my wireless connection? | 23:39 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | zoobox: you have two options. keep one terminal open for the man page, and another open for the commands, or you can use one terminal and go to FILE > open tab (to have multiple tabs like in firefox) | 23:39 |
| mattfred | also, can i disable the beep everytime i make an invalid keystroke or get new mail in evolution? | 23:39 |
| ilovebrownies | tekteen: Ok, thanks :) | 23:40 |
| zoobox | H3l1c0pt3r: yeah an alternative whould be to create an alias man=gnome-terminal -x man but often I got too many windows allready | 23:40 |
| ilovebrownies | tekteen: then I tried running grub in a terminal from ubuntu, to install grub on arch | 23:40 |
| tekteen | ilovebrownies: so we need to setup ubuntu grub to call arch grub? | 23:40 |
| chalcedony | H3l1c0pt3r: is there a way to get it to put everything back, after ctrl +alt +d ? | 23:40 |
| zoobox | H3l1c0pt3r: aha you mean tabs like that | 23:40 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | zoobox: than just use tabs in terminal to use only the 1 terminal window (ctrl+alt+t) | 23:40 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | chalcedony: yeah ctrl+alt+d again | 23:40 |
| chalcedony | H3l1c0pt3r: didn't work | 23:41 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | chalcedony: it should... | 23:41 |
| chalcedony | worked for rmoving .. not putting them back | 23:41 |
| zoobox | I whould prefer to have the part of the man-text I have scrolled to, right above the commmand prompt where I am writing my command | 23:41 |
| ilovebrownies | tekteen: i dunno, can't I just boot arch from ubuntu grub, do I really need two grubs? :P | 23:41 |
| chalcedony | maybe i just had too much? | 23:41 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | chalcedony: try it with a few windows open, do ctrl+alt+d and then do it again right away, it should work | 23:41 |
| Joker_-_ | My tv-out screen is larger than the screen itself. As a result, I can<t see any edge of the screen (about an inche each sides)... any idea? | 23:41 |
| DasEI | tekteen: ilovebrownies:google super-grub-disk | 23:41 |
| mikewu | zoobox: zoobox try running export LESS="-X", then just scroll to the part that you want and just use q to exit | 23:41 |
| tekteen | ilovebrownies: ilovebrownies, arch needs to update its grub | 23:42 |
| Khisanth | zoobox: or man -P "less -X" foo | 23:42 |
| zoobox | mikewu: perfect! thanks | 23:43 |
| chalcedony | H3l1c0pt3r: yes it did, with a few | 23:43 |
