| FrozenFire | Is there a way to change application font colours, without changing themes? Using a dark theme is causing my gedit to highlight the currently-selected line as black, making it impossible to read the selected line. It also uses the same colour for text as the background of Nautilus. | 00:02 |
| Nalf | I used http://www.pendrivelinux.com/live-ubuntu-810-usb-persistent-install-windows/ this, but the installer locked up. | 00:02 |

| cactusfrog | i did everything correctly typed sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree in terminal and even restarted firefox but i still can't watch youtube videos | 00:03 |
| mbord | no body there ? | 00:03 |
| nibsa1242b | taso: does the proc support Intel VT? is it enabled? | 00:03 |
| jrib | FrozenFire: one way would be to edit your theme yourself | 00:03 |
| nguyen | why cant u watch youtube its fun to watch. | 00:03 |
| mbord | hoi allemeel | 00:03 |
| cactusfrog | because it says i dont have the latist flash player | 00:03 |

| mbord | no body can dutch here ? | 00:04 |
| oCean_ | mbord: the dutch are in #ubuntu-nl | 00:04 |
| FrozenFire | cactusfrog: Obvious question is, have you tried restarting? When using proprietary software, it's often necessary to restart. | 00:04 |
| taso | nibsa1242b: I believe so, what does that mean and how can I check? | 00:04 |
| cactusfrog | anyone here know what they are doing?? | 00:04 |
| jrib | FrozenFire: art.gnome.org has a tutorial on creating themes. The themes are in /usr/share/themes/ or ~/.themes if it's one you installed yourself. If you want to modify one from /usr/share/themes, copy it to ~/.themes and work there | 00:04 |
| Nalf | Nope. ^_^ | 00:05 |

| swegner | I'm trying to boot jaunty from a LiveUSB (created from the "USB Startup Disc Creator"), but I don't see the option at the boot screen. I only see "Install Ubuntu", "Check disc for defects", "Test memory", "Boot from first hard drive", "Rescue a broken system". Is it not possible to simply boot from the USB? (I'm not sure if this is jaunty-related or not, I can't remember what the intrepid liveusb was like) | 00:06 |
| lepine | My X just borked. I rebooted after some autoupdates, for which i didn't reboot for perhaps 2 weeks ... and now i'm stuck using the vesa driver ... | 00:06 |
| jrib | cactusfrog: you need to be more patient. Pastebin the contents of the page you get when you visit "about:plugins" in your address bar in firefox | 00:06 |

| lepine | what can/should i do? | 00:06 |
| Pollywog | cactusfrog: maybe but I came in too late to read it | 00:06 |
| nibsa1242b | taso: it means it runs things faster when they are being virtualized , I'm not sure how to check, I don't often use windows, and I've only ever used QEMU for virtualization. | 00:06 |
| jrib | lepine: what happens when you try to use the nvidia driver? | 00:07 |
| nibsa1242b | taso: anyhow my understanding is that it should be run 80% to 10% of the speed you would expect natively if everything is set up correctly. | 00:07 |

| Pollywog | cactusfrog: I think this can be fixed | 00:10 |
| swegner | Nalf: ok, I thought I remembered being able to with intrepid as well. I wonder if it's because I used the amd64 ISO.. | 00:10 |
| fearful | Pollywog, cactusfrog they both work just as well I use flashplugin-nonfree and am doing fine | 00:10 |

| fearful | Pollywog, maybe you should give the nonfree a try ;) | 00:12 |
| Zeroyez | jrib: dun care, has no effect on me except the stupid root ban on irc | 00:12 |
| jdolan | (what is the point of packaging sox without [m]any codecs?) | 00:12 |
| swegner | Nalf: ok, I'll assume it's a jaunty problem then.. | 00:12 |
| Pollywog | fearful: I will do so if I have a problem again, but it works now | 00:12 |
| lepine | jrib: http://pastebin.ca/1356956 | 00:12 |
| jrib | Zeroyez: well the right solution here is to not irc as root. And to create a regular account. Good luck with your issue | 00:12 |
| Dillizar | nope restarting the X doesnt help | 00:12 |
| Nalf | Swegner: Good luck. I'm going to attempt to install myself now! Bye bye. | 00:12 |

| m3gaman | here is a quick question...say I install an application and it creates an ICON for it in the applications menu...when I do a apt-get remove (said application) it does not remove the associated icon within the applications menu. Is this normal? or should I be uninstall my applications in a different manner/ | 00:13 |

| sebsebseb | mleger: hardy has more sound issues than ibex though | 00:30 |
| fearful | trapline91, are you on a virtual? | 00:30 |
| mleger | sebsebseb: should I upgrade? any issues with nvidia drivers in ibex? | 00:30 |
| nibsa1242b | sebsebseb: did your alsa work? | 00:30 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: depends on your card, how old is it? | 00:30 |
| trapline91 | fearful, no using wine | 00:30 |
| MaFrei | well, i treid in networkmanager the DHCP and also the fixed IP. Also i configured the configuration file networks.conf with a fixed IP. | 00:30 |
| jumar | MaFrei, did you try shutting down cable first and just then connect with Lan, left clicking on the network icon? | 00:30 |
| mleger | sebsebseb: its new nvidia gforce 6500 I think | 00:31 |
| MaFrei | jumar: yes, also | 00:31 |
| fearful | trapline91, just to be clear wine ain't a emulator by the way, and it might be a problem running it on wine | 00:31 |
| sint | hey, my pidgin is broken and it tells me to update. but there is no new version in apt. anyone knows when the new version from pidgin website will be available? | 00:31 |
| _VIM_ | ibex is way better than it was 4 months ago mleger | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | nibsa1242b: I have never had major sound issues, and been with Ubuntu since second release, my old computer died with edgy, then the others on this one | 00:31 |
| mleger | sebsebseb: but its supposed here | 00:31 |
| fearful | sint, getdeb.com | 00:31 |
| jumar | still searching... | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: ok should work fine in ibex then your graphics card | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: pluse audio is default in hardy | 00:31 |
| trapline91 | fearful, the problem was I didn't have my wine configuration set to my burner what an idiot i am lol | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: you could try: killall pulseaudio | 00:32 |
| nibsa1242b | sebsebseb: sry, I think I came late to the conversion. Thought you were having sound issues. | 00:32 |
| sint | fearful: ok, but if i download it there, it no longer seen from apt, isn't it? | 00:32 |
| jumar | try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne#Install%20Ubuntu%20Hardy%20Heron%20(8.04.1)%20on%20the%20Acer%20Aspire%20One | 00:32 |

| mleger | sebsebseb: tried it now still no sound. Do I need to reboot? | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: nope | 00:32 |
| fearful | sint, um correct, but if you uninstall the new version in aptitude the old one will be displayed | 00:32 |

| jrib | mikeshollen: what application? | 00:34 |
| brandon_ | i loaded it from the terminal | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: not sure | 00:34 |
| sint | fearful: hm, but there is no given date how long i have to wait for a common update in apt? | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: one thing though | 00:34 |
| mikeshollen | avg | 00:34 |
| fearful | brandon_, yes but you have to cd to the directory or put the path | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: if you go Ibex, you can't just downgrade back to Hardy | 00:34 |
| nibsa1242b | sebsebseb: what I've run into is that if pulse crashes, and you mute the sound, then the sound will stay muted on reboot - this bug here https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/274884 | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: wait a sec | 00:34 |
| Myrtti | mikeshollen: avg? what's that? | 00:34 |
| fearful | sint, yea, aptitude doesn't get updated that often, just download the one in getdeb works fine in intrepid | 00:35 |
| sint | fearful: i am not a big fan of doing things beside apt, if the software is in apt | 00:35 |
| mleger | sebsebseb: ? | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | nibsa1242b: do you think mleger should upgrade hardy to ibex or not? | 00:35 |
| fearful | sint, I did this, and working fine 2.5.5 | 00:35 |
| mikeshollen | how can I ask an application to launch as root? | 00:35 |
| mikeshollen | so that I don't have to use terminal | 00:35 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, gksu | 00:35 |
| brandon_ | no i downloaded it from the ubuntu website so i don't have the cd | 00:35 |
| sint | fearful: ok, thanks i'll try | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: or you stay with hardy, and then you can have KDE 3 and 4 on the same system no problem :d | 00:35 |
| Myrtti | mikeshollen: which application? avg? what's that? | 00:35 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, well it depends what | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: with Ibex it's only KDE 4 :( | 00:35 |

| MaFrei | jumar: ah jea, i know this manual, i have used it fpr the WLAN. But for LAN there is nothing in then "LAN:full working" :-( | 00:36 |
| jumar | mikeshollen: in terminal its sudo, if you want to run it like fearful said | 00:36 |
| fearful | Myrtti, avg is a windows anti-virus I'm almost sure my friends use it | 00:36 |
| mleger | sebsebseb: sorry I dont know what that means :( | 00:36 |
| nibsa1242b | sebsebseb: mleger I think ibex won't hurt, but I doubt it'll fix the audio problem. Does he have pulse installed now? | 00:36 |
| Myrtti | fearful: that's what I'm afraid of it is | 00:36 |
| fearful | jumar, if your running a GUI app as root you need gksu not sudo | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: sudo apt-get install pulseaudio | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: try that | 00:36 |
| MK13 | sebsebseb: my opinion is that ibex would work... the only thing is the support is shorter but it still lasts until jaunty :D | 00:36 |
| mleger | nibsa1242b: yes I do have it installed. Playing sound files shows sound output but nothing coming out of laptop speakers | 00:36 |
| m3gaman | yeah, AVG is a windows AntiVirus software...I use it on my windows box | 00:37 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, why would you want to run avg anyway | 00:37 |
| jumar | yeah, thats why what you wrote was more precise, sorry | 00:37 |
| mikeshollen | because I do | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: ok you are new to Linux :D you don't know about KDE? | 00:37 |
| v0lksman | how do you restart pulseaudio properly in intrepid? | 00:37 |
| bmoll8 | mikeshollen: you're not making sense | 00:37 |
| Myrtti | mikeshollen: are you trying to run the windows antivirus program avg? | 00:37 |
| bmoll8 | mikeshollen: you don't need antivirus software on ubuntu; this isn't windows | 00:37 |
| jumar | mikeshollen, are you guarding a windows server? | 00:37 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, well if its not a linux version of avg you need wine | 00:37 |
| mikeshollen | no, avg 7.5 is for linux | 00:37 |
| mleger | sebsebseb: no I understand its kubuntu right? different than gnome?\ | 00:37 |
| mleger | sebsebseb: tried it but pulse is already installed so nothing new was installed | 00:37 |
| jrib | mikeshollen: are you running a mail server with windows clients or something? | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: yes, but in Hardy you can have KDE3 the nice and mature and stable version, as well as KDE4 which is newer | 00:37 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, then gksu avg or I don't know the command really | 00:37 |
| Myrtti | !virus | mikeshollen | 00:38 |
| ubottu | mikeshollen: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 00:38 |
| anom01y | is there any daemons out there that can switch the current user (x session) to another user (default user), after a period of time the computer has been idle ? | 00:38 |
| jumar | you dont have to be root to guard your system in that case | 00:38 |
| nibsa1242b | mleger: what do you see in alsamixer ? | 00:38 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: in Ibex you have to do nonsense to have both if it's even possible, or run a hardy vm for KDE3 or some other distro | 00:38 |

| jumar | what do you mean? i dont understand... mikeshollen | 00:38 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: I think you should try KDE3 and 4 hence why I was saying about that, but going back to the sound issue, Ibex should be alright | 00:38 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: Ibex won't make things worse I expect when it comes to sound | 00:39 |
| mleger | nibsal1242b: gnome alsa mixer says: Realtek ID 663 | 00:39 |
| mikeshollen | How am I being so confusing? I just want to run the program. It's security software. It needs to be run as root to update and scan properly. I want to run it despite the fact that Linux doesn't have the same issues as Windows, because I run windows software through Wine. | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | mikeshollen: lol ok | 00:40 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, I said gksu avg | 00:40 |
| sebsebseb | mikeshollen: you can use a Linux anti virus program to scan a Linux install as well as Wine for Windows viruses | 00:40 |
| jumar | it wont make a mess thru wine, well its not 99% but it want, try firestarter instead, its in the repos | 00:40 |
| zeldarocks | should I update to 9.04? | 00:40 |

| mikeshollen | sebsebseb: correct, and AVG is a linux antivirus | 00:40 |
| sebsebseb | zeldarocks: not yet, the final release is not out yet | 00:40 |
| Myrtti | jumar: since when has *firestarter* done anything to *viruses* | 00:40 |
| zeldarocks | I mean the alpha 5 | 00:40 |
| mleger | sebsebseb: ok I'm going to try to upgrade soon | 00:40 |
| sebsebseb | mikeshollen: you don't need an antivirus really for wine though, Windows viruses don't tend to work properly in wine if at all | 00:41 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, exactly therefore it won't check for windows viruses on linux | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | !upgrade | mleger | 00:41 |
| ubottu | mleger: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 00:41 |
| jumar | alright, my fault, got lately no viruses, sorry again | 00:41 |
| jwulf|eee | does anyone know what's happening with compiz today? | 00:41 |
| mikeshollen | fearful: it was originally created for windows viruses, it will check for them because the c drive exists within the linux directories | 00:41 |
| zeldarocks | should I update to alpha 5? | 00:41 |
| jwulf|eee | i grabbed the latest jaunty updates, and it seems to be broken | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | zeldarocks: how experiened are you with Ubuntu? | 00:41 |
| jumar | mikeshollen, ther wont be viruses | 00:42 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, the point is you do not need a antivirus for linux... not for wine either | 00:42 |
| zeldarocks | just started with it a few days/weeks ago | 00:42 |
| jrib | zeldarocks: see jwulf|eee ; jwulf|eee: yes, you're using a development version: help in #ubuntu+1 | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | zeldarocks: that answers the question then, do not upgrade to alpha 5. ,because your new to Ubuntu and it's an alpha | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | zeldarocks: do you know about the stages of software? alaphas, betas, release candidates, and then final release | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | zeldarocks: alpha 5 is apparnatly pretty stable, but it will have bugs | 00:43 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, and if you really want to run it use the command I provided 3 times already | 00:43 |
| mikeshollen | I tried | 00:43 |
| lepine | jrib: ok, i'm back to the nvidia driver apparently (according to the hardware drivers pane) ... | 00:43 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, then look in the menus it should be there | 00:43 |
| lepine | but still stuck in lousy resolutions ... | 00:43 |
| mikeshollen | gksu avg didn't do anything that I can tell | 00:44 |
| lepine | oh wait ... now it;s asking me to reboot ... doing so | 00:44 |
| zeldarocks | I do know about the phases, but I don't see any danger/threat with updating, is there? | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | zeldarocks: if you want to upgrade early, maybe the beta, but anything before that big NO! | 00:44 |

| sebsebseb | zeldarocks: I just told you why | 00:44 |
| mikeshollen | how do i list out applications? | 00:44 |
| mikeshollen | what would the directory be for them | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | zeldarocks: do you not know what software bugs are? | 00:44 |

| fearful | sint, nice :p | 00:44 |
| zeldarocks | would it help any tht I'm running ubuntu through Virtual Box? | 00:45 |
| jumar | mikeshollen, i haven't found any free version of avg for linux, if you try to run the exe, you dont really need to be root, just open it with wine, exe is not native on linux, not a package | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | mleger: oh dear your on wubi | 00:45 |
| mleger | sebsebseb: yea I told you total noob | 00:45 |

| Maahes | I'm having an issue, I had a crash, and now my xserver is borked I used xfix, which means it now runs, but whenever I run nvidia-xconfig to generate an xorg.conf, it totally hangs, it doesn't even institute failsafe X, it just hangs forever, here's the xorg file nvidia xconfig gives: http://rafb.net/p/Z4JNkr34.html and here's the output of my xorg error log: http://rafb.net/p/ptMl8J96.html | 00:45 |

| jumar | thanks, mikesholen | 00:46 |
| Maahes | and by hangs forever I mean: gdm never finishes loading, or loading the backup xorg | 00:46 |
| zeldarocks | would updating be ok since I'm running ubunti through VirtualBox? I would think so IMO | 00:46 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, look in that directory, if its installed it should be there and voila | 00:46 |
| jumar | there's no amd64, mikeshollen, so im not going to play with it | 00:47 |
| usser | zeldarocks, take a snapshot before you update. if it breaks you can always go back this way | 00:47 |
| zeldarocks | would it bring me back to my previous version? | 00:47 |
| mikeshollen | jumar: no problem | 00:47 |
| jumar | sorry about that, but i really dont think that viruses can be any threat to wine or linux | 00:47 |
| tuxtox | how do you make a custom application launcher that needs root access? what is the command? | 00:48 |
| zeldarocks | snapshots bring me bak to a previous install? | 00:48 |
| mikeshollen | fearful: thank you, the app name was avggui | 00:49 |
| pmcclelland | has anyone else had problems mounting vista cifs shares? I am getting memory allocation errors. Doesn't make any sense. | 00:49 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, alright no problem | 00:49 |
| mikeshollen | fearful: so I know how to run things as root from terminal, but you're suggesting that gksu "appname" will cause it to launch from the ubuntu gui as root as well? | 00:49 |
| usser | zeldarocks, well yea, it takes an exact replica of the VM's running state | 00:50 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, yes gksu is like running as sudo but it prepares the environment for a root GUI application | 00:50 |
| usser | zeldarocks, thats the most useful feauture of a VM | 00:50 |
| jumar | tuxtox, start with: gksu command | 00:50 |
| m3gaman | if you type gksu you can run as any user | 00:50 |
| zeldarocks | regardless of version? | 00:50 |
| usser | zeldarocks, regardless of the operating system that you run inside of a vm | 00:51 |
| tuxtox | jumar you are the man (or woman) thanks | 00:51 |
| zeldarocks | k if so, I'll update, BRB | 00:51 |
| mikeshollen | fearful: so if i put gksu avggui in terminal, I will always launch as root when i click on it from the applications menu? | 00:51 |
| tuxtox | jumar what does gksu mean? | 00:51 |
| usser | zeldarocks, it just doesnt care what its running, its all bits to the virtualbox | 00:51 |
| fearful | mikeshollen, nope, only when you run it through the terminal | 00:51 |

| _VIM_ | !root | 00:55 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:55 |
| fearful | Jose_Gaspar, you can do that as your user using root | 00:56 |
| todd_ | !sudo|Jose_Gaspar | 00:56 |
| ubottu | Jose_Gaspar: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 00:56 |

| m3gaman | here is a quick question...say I install an application and it creates an ICON for it in the applications menu...when I do a apt-get remove (said application) it does not remove the associated icon within the applications menu. Is this normal? or should I be uninstall my applications in a different manner? | 01:03 |
| christophe | Dr_willis: normal install | 01:03 |

| sebsebseb | m3gaman: use this instead. sudo apt-get purge programname | 01:04 |
| christophe | Dr_willis: I think this will not work, so it would be nice if I could test 2 things | 01:04 |

| m3gaman | sebsebseb: great...I will give that a try...thanks | 01:04 |

| jrib | Darkequinox: better than "Can someone help me, even though my comp is on Feisty?". In any case though, it's probably easier to just backup your data and do a fresh install of 8.10 | 01:13 |
| Dr_willis | christophe, whats the exact commands you are doing? i just 'cd /tmp' then 'mkdir teststuff' and it worked with the permissions shown | 01:13 |

| mikeshollen | What is the difference between mark for removal, and mark for complete removal in synaptic? | 01:13 |
| christophe | Dr_willis if i google then they tell me that ext3 can only have 38980 files in a directory | 01:13 |
| Dr_willis | christophe, you may want to fsck the filesystem just in case its some quirk there. | 01:14 |
| Darkequinox | I cant figure out what to do about my wireless internet connection. My card is supported, Feisty has it's drivers, so it's working.... maybe its the network manager app itself? | 01:14 |
| theclaw | mikeshollen: the configuration files don't get removed in "removal" I guess | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | theclaw: try an alternative? licq | 01:14 |
| Darkequinox | lol. Save server, fsck an Admin. | 01:14 |
| b1n42y | mikeshollen, mark for removal means uninstall and complete is deleting package as well if im not mistaken | 01:14 |
| Dr_willis | theclaw, normal removal - keeps the configs.. yes | 01:14 |
| jrib | Darkequinox: can't you use a wired connection to upgrade? | 01:14 |
| christophe | Dr_willis : i do the same sequence of commands + i did fsck, without any results | 01:14 |

| mezy | sebsebseb: hey, i did't really need to partition my drive for ubuntu. it works great on a usb. at least when i know how to solve some problems | 01:33 |
| jrib | _VIM_: hmm? | 01:33 |
| shear_clone | dennda, simply rm the symlink. remember to omit the trailing slash. so "rm symlink" not "rm symlink/" | 01:34 |

| CShadowRun | In intrepid the WEP Ascii option in nm-applet is removed | 01:34 |
| CShadowRun | how are you supposed to connect to a network with a WEP ascii key? | 01:35 |
| mezy | sebsebseb: ahh. sandisk. 2g micro with micro usb adapter | 01:35 |
| keres | Hmm, why is the term "sudo" used to declare temporary root? | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | mezy: oh a 2GB usb stick???/ | 01:36 |
| shear_clone | keres, iirc, it's short for "superuser do" | 01:36 |
| shear_clone | or something like that | 01:36 |
| b1n42y | CShadowRun, use different method via router? | 01:36 |

| ahofha | Ubunt 8.10 being slow. I'm in the WMWare right now, no luck though, the GUI is still pretty choppy, do you guys know anything that I could do so this won't happen? | 01:36 |
| CShadowRun | b1n42y seems long winded to have to reconfigure every computer in the house because ubuntu can't support WEP ascii | 01:36 |
| CShadowRun | it does in hardy | 01:36 |
| CShadowRun | it seems completely insane to remove support for it | 01:36 |
| crdlb | CShadowRun: you mean "WEP 128-bit Passphrase"? | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | mezy: wubi and running like that from a USB device, is a newbie way to run Ubuntu in my opinion. partitining is good and the way to go :) however I guess whatever as long as it works for you and your running Ubuntu :) and hopefuly as your main OS instead of Windows | 01:37 |
| CShadowRun | crdlb trying... | 01:37 |
| fearful | sebsebseb, I think you ment Winblows ;) kidding | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: not that time, and I don't hate Microslap, I just hate how most apps that many people want to run, were made for Windows only | 01:38 |
| === serrano is now known as pythagorean23 | ||
| Dr_willis | id rather use Virtuaklbox then wubi. :) but thats jsut me... | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_willis: same here | 01:38 |
| CShadowRun | crdlb my mistake, they just changed the name :) | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_willis: even if Windows is the host | 01:38 |
| crdlb | CShadowRun: it should have autodetected the security type | 01:38 |
| Dr_willis | sebsebseb, dont even get me started.. :) | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_willis: lol | 01:39 |
| _jet__ | hello, I need some help... | 01:39 |
| Nalf | dr_willis: what is virtualklbox? | 01:39 |
| _jet__ | I messed up something in my network configuration | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_willis: seriosuly though wubi, running ubuntu from a usb, and running it in virtualbox with Windows as the host. good for trying, but then partitioning is so the way to go :) | 01:40 |
| _jet__ | and internet doesn't work anymore... | 01:40 |

| Dr_willis | sebsebseb, linux is so handy - i always got puppylinux set up on virtualbox on every windows machine | 01:40 |
| CShadowRun | crdlb dunno, helping someone via remote and it doesn't help when the names of the options get changed, lol | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | Nalf: not properly no, it puts Ubuntu inside the Windows NTFS partition | 01:40 |
| Nalf | sebsebseb: what is the downfall to that? | 01:41 |
| Dr_willis | Ubuntu in a file on the ntfs filesystem | 01:41 |
| mezy | sebsebseb: is have only 2gs bad? | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_willis: indeed Linux can be used to fix Windohs problems as well | 01:41 |
| XFCEntral | Nalf: i know it wont hibernate but thats not a big deal to most haha | 01:41 |
| _jet__ | does anybody knows why I could have "ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted" and how to fix it? | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | mezy: having to boot from a USB stick each time, would suck | 01:41 |
| mezy | not really.... | 01:41 |
| Dr_willis | If i can ever get LordOfTheRingsOnline Working with wine.. i could ditch windows. :) but that game is a pain | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | mezy: good for trying, but you should partition your hard disk properly for Ubuntu | 01:42 |
| Nalf | xfcentral: Definitely not a big deal to me. I had issues getting wubi to install, though. In fact, I'm still having issues getting ubuntu installed. t.t | 01:42 |
| crdlb | CShadowRun: I see, well you might want to ensure ESSID hiding isn't enabled | 01:42 |
| mezy | sebsebseb: hmm? im don't understand why that is needed | 01:42 |
| crdlb | so that network manager can be helpful | 01:42 |
| XFCEntral | Nalf: uh oh, hopefully nothing major. it worked for me since 7.10 i believe, until i wiped out XP and went straight Linux | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | hey guys I don't feel like typing a load of reasons why I think it's best to run Ubuntu from a hard disk partition with another partition for a seperate home folder. anyone want to explain to mezy? | 01:43 |
| CShadowRun | yea, i'm just waiting for replies now | 01:43 |
| CrimsonScythe | hi. i updated some packages and now i can't boot the computer. i can barely boot using the installation cd, but even that one just gives me a busybox initramfs prompt. so, my next step was to chroot the drive on which ubuntu resides, but everything is painfully slow in chroot. doing an aptitude search takes minuts. any vague idea which part(s) got screwed up? | 01:43 |
| Nalf | xfcentral: I have a fairly new computer, core i7, dual radeonhd 4800, etc etc, and it's seeming to hang on the installer when starting bluetooth. Any ideas? | 01:43 |
| mezy | sebsebseb: lol | 01:43 |
| Nalf | xfcentral | 01:43 |
| XFCEntral | sebsebseb: i've used both Wubi and Ubuntu on a dedicated partition, and i never noticed "performance" differences for example. there are subtle differences but as a regular user none to beat yourself up over if you use Wubi | 01:44 |
| Nalf | xfcentral: My bad.. I googled with no luck. I remember having an error with wubi like udevd 6000 modprobe abnormal exit or something. | 01:44 |
| jeeves | is there a plugin for Awstats that'll show JUST the stats for rsync? | 01:44 |
| XFCEntral | Nalf: can you disable BT from the BIOS before installing? | 01:44 |
| b1n42y | sebsebseb, in those two sentences you could have done it | 01:44 |
| sebsebseb | XFCEntral: well if you do wubi and Windows buggers up properly, so does Ubuntu | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis | CrimsonScythe, i would guess somtjhing hardware wise broke. if the live cd is even acting up... or came loose.. package installs.. can NOT affect the live cd booting stuff. | 01:44 |
| mezy | sebsebseb: its funny seeing how their are directed at you instead of me | 01:45 |
| XFCEntral | thats always a downside but you can assume that risk | 01:45 |
| Nalf | dr_willis: If the live cd freezes on boot you think there is a hardware issue? | 01:45 |
| CrimsonScythe | Dr_willis: not sure what would have broken when rebooting, though. | 01:45 |
| b1n42y | mezy, Having a separate /home partition makes it easier for you to reinstall Ubuntu while preserving your personal files and settings. This is a matter of convenience but is not foolproof. You should still regularly back up your data. | 01:45 |
| XFCEntral | sory mezy my mistake | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis | Nalf, if it used to work.. and now it dosent.. somthing has changed.. yes... | 01:46 |
| Nalf | dr_willis: Ahh, ok. Well it never worked in the first place so I guess I'll keep probing elsewhere for issues. ^_^ | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis | CrimsonScythe, open the case up.. check wires.. dust it out.. chase out the mouse.. (oh what was on MY server ) | 01:46 |
| mezy | this late night stuff is making my typing skillz worse | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | mezy: just partition your hard disk and stop being a noob LOL :d seriosuly wubi, ubuntu virtual machine, or putting on a usb stick, not always, but a lot of the time, it's for noobs that are afraid to partition their hard disk. "oh no I might wipe windows" no you won't if you know what your doing | 01:46 |
| _Linuxx_ | nalf, try acpi=off | 01:47 |
| mezy | sebsebseb: remember this is my brother computer | 01:47 |
| CrimsonScythe | Dr_willis: yeah, i'll have to check again. hmm. i did change one thing. i doubled the amount of memory to 8GB. i didn't think that'd make a negative impact. let me try again | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | mezy: oh are you the | 01:47 |
| XFCEntral | sebsebseb: what about having ubuntu on a usb for a thing client? | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | mezy: ah ha | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | mezy: oh your that 16 year old that wanted to put on his brothers computer? | 01:47 |
| mezy | ya... | 01:47 |
| Nalf | linuxx: I have no blank cds and I'm trying to install from a usb drive now. Having issues in that area currently. | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | mezy: ok fine, I guess you got a reason to do it from USB stick then, for now at least | 01:48 |
| mezy | sebsebseb: yup | 01:48 |
| _Linuxx_ | nalf, you should still be able to turn acpi off | 01:48 |
| XFCEntral | after that the police come after you mezy!!! | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | CrimsonScythe, the sytem can handle that much? :) | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | XFCEntral: no his brother might die of shock, if he see's Grub when he boots up the lap top | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | XFCEntral: he might be like wtf is that? | 01:48 |
| Nalf | _Linuxx_, I used this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/live-ubuntu-810-usb-persistent-install-windows/ persisent installer, and the menus don't look quite like the livecd menus. | 01:49 |
| XFCEntral | as opposed to not seeing grub with a dedicated install? | 01:49 |
| XFCEntral | because, i see it... | 01:49 |
| Nalf | Using that I am unaware of how to append acpi=off. | 01:49 |

| jrib | |Kamen|: sure, but it doesn't really make sense to do that | 01:57 |
| Flannel | |Kamen|: technically. But its better to just fix the fact that it doesn't think theyre satisfied (find a deb for Ubuntu, or others) | 01:57 |
| m1r | |Kamen|: apt-get install -f * ? | 01:57 |

| CShadowRun | b1n42y right now i just want to connect using a simple ascii key :P | 02:02 |

| CShadowRun | which for some reason has been removed in intrepid | 02:02 |
| crdlb | b1n42y: if you're already using wep, that's not going to add anything ... | 02:02 |

| CShadowRun | aha, i have an idea | 02:02 |
| crdlb | CShadowRun: that option I mentioned doesn't exist? I'm looking at jaunty's nm; I can go check an intrepid system though | 02:02 |
| CShadowRun | maybe if we encode the ascii to hex :p | 02:02 |

| CShadowRun | crdlb it does exist, it's not the answer | 02:03 |
| |Kamen| | flannel: one sec trying | 02:03 |
| fearful | jdfoote2, :) | 02:03 |
| crdlb | CShadowRun: what makes you say that? | 02:03 |
| CShadowRun | the password is ascii, not 128bit passphrase | 02:03 |
| CShadowRun | the fact that we tried it? | 02:03 |

| Fongy08 | if anyone can help with the upgrade issue im having, t would be awesome | 02:19 |

| wolter | oh, i mean, bonjour | 03:34 |
| wolter | the pidgin bonjour plugin | 03:34 |
| akurei | nope | 03:34 |
| jrib | grayhane: have you checked the relevant bug at bugs.ubuntu.com? There is usually a sane solution there (maybe a package in -proposed for example) | 03:35 |
| grayhane | akurei, not sure if it was icq or the pidgin program, just said I needed to upgrade pidgin so I need to know how to install it\ | 03:35 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | wolter, : no i don't use it:( | 03:35 |

| akurei | grayhane: ICQ locked all not-official-clients users out. again. (that's why people started using Jabber/XMPP) You can get the "working" deb from pidgin.im . it will fuck up your apt though. | 03:35 |
| |Rad| | to have at least 60gb free | 03:35 |
| usser | |Rad|, grow the partition with gparted | 03:36 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | genesismachine, : for linux i think there is a site called linux devices | 03:36 |
| wolter | AETE_KRAOUD, that i get a kernel panic when i enable the account. I know its not pidgin, but rather a problem with my wireless card. | 03:36 |
| usser | |Rad|, boot into livecd and resize the partition that is | 03:36 |
| |Rad| | ok | 03:36 |
| wolter | genesismachine, what type of cameras? | 03:36 |
| HIjustme | usser: i did the last command you gave me | 03:36 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | wolter, : hmmm kernel panic e? ohhh that's bad | 03:36 |
| wolter | AETE_KRAOUD, real bad. | 03:36 |
| usser | HIjustme, cool can you try using this file instead, open xorg.conf in gedit sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:36 |
| |Rad| | ok and after that...i just remove the 20gb drive and boot it and thats it? | 03:36 |
| AETE_KRAOUD | wolter, : are u using the right drivers?? | 03:37 |
| usser | HIjustme, and replace its contents with http://paste.ubuntu.com/129067/ | 03:37 |

| tritium | against, even | 03:51 |
| crdlb | HIjustme: according to that forum post, it was working fine a week ago | 03:51 |

| kitche | crdlb: oh he's on hardy hmm don't think that has issues though I just know of the intrepid issue | 03:56 |
| Nasra | tritium: thought so lol....thanks | 03:56 |
| usser | HIjustme, unsupported updates hardy-backports | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | b1n42y: that will be 2010 I guess | 03:56 |
| felixsulla | crdlb: Or if you drag a folder to the panel, you cant see its name/location | 03:56 |
| kitche | crdlb: was a bit busy svning llvm+clang so I didn't catch everything | 03:56 |
| === nicholas_ is now known as tacosarecool | ||

| === n2diy_ is now known as n2diy | ||
| tacosarecool | how | 03:57 |
| b1n42y | sebsebseb: wow i was gonna say thats ages but thats next year 2010 wow that looks so startrekky lol | 03:57 |
| HIjustme | usser: none for intel | 03:57 |
| usser | HIjustme, worked fine for me on hardy. it was GM965 though not 945 | 03:57 |
| tacosarecool | and ubuntu is lagging | 03:57 |
| usser | HIjustme, you put the tick there and tried updating your packages? | 03:58 |
| crdlb | felixsulla: oh, I don't think you can give launcher labels | 03:58 |
| HIjustme | usser: is there another distro which will be good for my intel gfx? | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | b1n42y: startrekky wtf | 03:58 |
| tritium | HIjustme: ubuntu supports intel just fine | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | b1n42y: and most people would be using whatever is the latest non LTS version | 03:58 |
| * b1n42y lifts the rock from above sebsebseb | 03:58 | |
| sebsebseb | b1n42y: would be fine suing | 03:58 |

| tacosarecool | yes I have a dock but it shouldn't be lagging this bad | 03:59 |
| usser | HIjustme, i dont know ubuntu intrepid. fedora. debian lenny | 03:59 |
| tritium | HIjustme: which release are you running? | 03:59 |
| usser | HIjustme, pretty much any of them should work, but then again hardy should work fine with it as well | 03:59 |
| HIjustme | tritium: 8.04 | 03:59 |
| some1normal | ok sorrrry | 03:59 |
| b1n42y | sebsebseb: star trek = futuristic ... is all i meant | 03:59 |
| tritium | HIjustme: try 8.10, then | 03:59 |
| anahata | hi room | 04:00 |
| HIjustme | tritium, that will work? (more fps in et) :) | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | b1n42y: I don't watch Star Trek, Futurama is a good show. anyway this is off topic | 04:00 |
| b1n42y | true | 04:00 |
| Dreamglider | gonewestcoast: i have a usb flash that needs formating, since im dualbooting i was wondering what fs would be the better/safer one for the flash disk. | 04:00 |
| anahata | my downloaded Ubuntu .iso passed md5, but the disk i burned won't boot | 04:00 |
| HIjustme | usser: my game wont run now :( | 04:01 |
| b1n42y | anahata: have you got bios to boot from cd | 04:01 |
| tritium | HIjustme: I don't know what problem you have specific to your hardware. Intel graphics have always been supported. At any rate, it's always best to try the latest release when you're having issues. | 04:01 |
| anahata | i *thought* i did | 04:01 |
| math | anahata:did you verify the disk after burning? | 04:01 |
| anahata | verify with md5? i did md5 | 04:01 |
| HIjustme | tritium:ok | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | !md5 | 04:01 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 04:01 |
| anahata | i can't check the cd for errors because it won't boot to that screen | 04:01 |
| b1n42y | anahata: md5 download and md5 burned iso | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | anahata: no you check the ISO | 04:02 |
| anahata | oh ok brb | 04:02 |
| etzerd | hello all | 04:02 |
| HIjustme | tritium: how do i completely remove 8.04 so i can install a higher version? | 04:02 |
| anahata | wait - md5 the .iso or the burned cd? | 04:02 |
| usser | HIjustme, im reluctant to suggest to upgrade from long term support distribution just because of a buggy driver but it seems like a chance | 04:02 |
| math | anahata:did you verify the iso file you download from the net and the one on your disk or the burned disk? | 04:02 |
| anahata | i didn't burn the .iso, i burned the cd | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | anahata: yes and also is your BIOS set up to boot from CD? | 04:02 |
| anahata | brb | 04:02 |
| HIjustme | usser:ok | 04:03 |
| anahata | lemme check the .iso | 04:03 |
| tritium | HIjustme: you can either upgrade, or do a completely new install | 04:03 |
| etzerd | I unstall the 64 bit version and I install the 32 bit instead everything works fine for me now. | 04:03 |
| etzerd | thanks to you all | 04:03 |
| HIjustme | tritium: upgrade will be easier i think | 04:03 |
| b1n42y | etzerd: thanks for calling come back soon | 04:03 |
| kitche | anahata: if you did not burn the iso then most likely you might have just an iso on the cd and not the filesystem | 04:03 |
| etzerd | now how can I install and play DVD? | 04:03 |
| anahata | actually brb, i'm gonna go check my bios settings bbs! | 04:03 |
| tritium | HIjustme: before you do either, I'd boot from the LiveCD, and see if it works as you expect it to. | 04:03 |
| b1n42y | etzerd: VLC | 04:03 |
| anahata | kitche: what? i burned a cd from iso | 04:03 |
| etzerd | how can I get that? | 04:03 |
| anahata | kitche: the cd actually works partially because it asked me if i wanted to install within windows | 04:04 |
| usser | HIjustme, right as tritium said boot into livecd and see if you get direct rendering on it | 04:04 |
| anahata | like right now an ubuntu m enu comes up | 04:04 |
| usser | HIjustme, ie glxinfo | grep direct has to say yes | 04:04 |
| b1n42y | etzerd: sudo apt-get install vlc | 04:04 |
| dotblank | does it matter if a preseed file's options are in order? | 04:04 |
| HIjustme | ok | 04:04 |
| b1n42y | etzerd: or use synaptic | 04:04 |
| etzerd | thanks | 04:04 |
| HIjustme | usser:ok, so i just put the cd in then what :D | 04:04 |
| etb | is there a gui tool that controls which services load on boot? | 04:05 |
| ss_ | Y it is necessary to install build-essential if I want to install Ruby on Rails on my Ubuntu 8.10 System? | 04:05 |
| b1n42y | etb: bum | 04:05 |
| tritium | etb: System -> Administration -> Services | 04:05 |
| anahata | wait - i did check the .iso with md5, that's what i downloaded.. now to look at the cd | 04:05 |
| usser | HIjustme, boot from it, open terminal and type glxinfo | grep direct | 04:05 |
| HIjustme | usser: ok | 04:06 |
| n2diy | if my hard drive was failing, would I have any clues/warnings to alert me to it? | 04:06 |
| anahata | ok i don't see any hashes for the ubuntu cd, just for the .iso .... what are you guys talking about to check the cd? | 04:06 |
| b1n42y | !bum | etb | 04:06 |
| ubottu | etb: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 04:06 |
| HIjustme | usser: then if it says no then ill just try upgrade? | 04:06 |
| HIjustme | usser: if it says yes then what? | 04:06 |
| etb | b1n42y: thanks | 04:07 |
| tacosarecool | ah the lag | 04:07 |
| tritium | HIjustme: then it's working as you want it, and you can consider upgrading, or reinstalling from scratch with 8.10 | 04:07 |
| tacosarecool | How do I stop desktop dimming | 04:07 |
| anahata | i'm gonna check my bios settings, bbl | 04:07 |
| tacosarecool | laptop | 04:07 |
| usser | HIjustme, if its hardy livecd then im puzzled | 04:07 |
| usser | HIjustme, if its intrepid, i guess it means that it should work on intrepid | 04:07 |
| tacosarecool | and ubuntu is being laggy | 04:08 |
| dgimse | is there an xubuntu channel were i can seek help | 04:08 |

| uvacav | anyone know a good source of free fonts? Im looking for a version of the "old english" type fonts but failing miserably | 04:09 |
| tritium | Good night, HIjustme. | 04:09 |
| math | anahata : the iso file is a image that you burn a cd , you dont burn the file, you burn the image contain in it. after you download the iso file, you check it whti the md5 provided on the download location, if both are the same, you can burn the image using the iso file, with the burning program after burning it, you can check it | 04:09 |
| HIjustme | usser: thanks mate, im off to bed now, 4:04am here | 04:09 |
| usser | HIjustme, no problem, hope you fix it | 04:09 |
| ryanprior | uvacav: Droid and Liberation are popular right now, but neither are loopy handwriting if that's what you are looking for. | 04:09 |
| HIjustme | usser, tritium, if its still broke then you will see me pretty soon on here :D | 04:09 |
| tritium | HIjustme: I'll be here. | 04:10 |

| qcjn | i ve installeed glib 2.16.0 but still ask me .....Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.16' but version of GLib is 2.14.2n | 04:11 |
| uvacav | ryanprior: yeah im more looking for a more specific family of fonts. "old english" fonts are like what the New York Times uses for their logo (and old english the malt liquor actually). but thanks anyways | 04:12 |
| bullgard4 | Wo finde ich eine Beschreibung de Firefox-Plugins 'ubiquity'? Das Eingeben von 'about:ubiquity' erzeugt keine Ausgabe bei mir. | 04:12 |
| revenger98 | anyone using ETTERCAP & SQUID ? | 04:12 |
| b1n42y | qcjn: you need higher glib | 04:12 |
| ryanprior | uvacav: I think that searching Google for a free font repository would probably be your best bet. | 04:12 |
| qcjn | b1n42y ok | 04:13 |
| ryanprior | My computer won't recognize any CDs. It used to recognize them no problem. Whether it is an Ubuntu CD, a CD with software on, or a blank CD, nothing is registered and nothing shows up in /media/cdrom. What can I do? | 04:13 |
| qcjn | b1n42y http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/ which one | 04:13 |
| math | ryanprior:try to mount it manually and check what is the error reported | 04:14 |
| bullgard4 | Where can I find a description of the Firefox plugin 'ubiquity'? Entering 'about:ubiquity' in Firefox' input line does not produce any result with me. | 04:14 |
| ryanprior | math: how do I mount it manuallyZ? | 04:14 |
| b1n42y | qcjn: 2.19? its asking for something thats equall to or higher than 2.16 | 04:14 |
| qcjn | b1n42y and does it means from 2.16 and higher | 04:14 |
| b1n42y | qcjn: you are saying you have 2.14 | 04:15 |
| qcjn | b1n42y ok | 04:15 |
| math | mount -t (type) /media/cdrom /dev/something | 04:15 |
| b1n42y | 2.16 onwards inclusive | 04:15 |
| qcjn | b1n42 it says | 04:15 |
| qcjn | Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.16' but version of GLib is 2.14.2 | 04:16 |
| math | the type for a cd is iso... something | 04:16 |
| ryanprior | math: Ah, I figured something out. I can manually mount the CD. How do I get it to mount automatically when I put it in? | 04:16 |
| b1n42y | qcjn: you need at least 2.16 | 04:16 |
| math | ryanprior:most of the time it's a permission problem | 04:16 |
| qcjn | b1n42y well thats is waht i ve installed | 04:16 |
| b1n42y | qcjn: but version of GLib is 2.14.2 | 04:17 |
| crdlb | qcjn: what are you building? | 04:17 |
| qcjn | b1n42y gmpc | 04:18 |
| math | ryanprior:try to log as root and insert the cd | 04:18 |
| crdlb | qcjn: that's not in the repos? | 04:18 |
| qcjn | b1n42y for puppylinux | 04:18 |
| ryanprior | math: I'd rather not log in as root. Ubuntu isn't designed to do that. | 04:18 |
| qcjn | b1n42y but the basic are the same | 04:19 |
| crdlb | qcjn: if you're using puppylinux, you're in the wrong channel | 04:19 |
| math | no but you can check that way if this is a permission problem, just one time | 04:19 |
| omer24 | networking's just died on a nely installed ubuntu 8.10.. can't get eth0 working.. any ideas? | 04:19 |
| b1n42y | omer24: from suspend? | 04:20 |
| ryanprior | math: I tried inserting the CD and right-clicking the CD icon, selecting "rescan", and it then mounts the CD. | 04:20 |
| qcjn | b1n42y crdlb the learning is the same | 04:20 |
| ryanprior | math: Apparently it just doesn't bother to scan the CD when I put it in the drive. | 04:20 |
| omer24 | b1n42y: No. Just died after trying to get wireless working. | 04:20 |
| omer24 | b1n42y: Reboot didn't help, either. | 04:20 |
| crdlb | qcjn: but ubuntu 1) has it in the repos and 2) has a new enough glib in hardy and above | 04:20 |
| qcjn | b1n42y crdlb and compiling will be useful to in ubuntu, that i have | 04:21 |
| crdlb | qcjn: however, gmpc 0.14 will work on your distro's version of glib | 04:21 |
| math | ryanprior:after all you just insert a cd, it's not if you absolutely want to access it! | 04:21 |
| crdlb | since that's what was in ubuntu gutsy | 04:21 |
| omer24 | b1n42y: /etc/init.d/networking restart failed also | 04:22 |
| ryanprior | qcjn: One of the assumptions we make here is that you can use apt-get and the Ubuntu repositories to get the software that you need. When those assumptions do not hold, we don't give effective help. Please join ##linux for more general help -- there are many informative and friendly people in that channel. | 04:22 |
| qcjn | crdlb so you suggest that i get gmpc 0.14 | 04:22 |
| omer24 | Anyone got any ideas about how to restore eth0? | 04:22 |
| johni | hello everbody | 04:23 |
| ryanprior | math: Do you know if there is a way to explicitly require that my computer scans CDs as they are inserted? | 04:23 |
| johni | simple dillema, can I setup the mtu on wlan0 ? | 04:23 |
| b1n42y | omer24: what did you do when trying to get wireless working | 04:23 |
| qcjn | ryanprior thanks | 04:24 |
| math | ryanprior:no I dont know the process normally responsible of doing that | 04:24 |
| qcjn | thanks to b1n42y & crdlb | 04:24 |
| gonewestcoast | DreamThief: In most cases FAT. | 04:24 |
| qcjn | see ya | 04:24 |
| omer24 | b1n42y: Wireless is working, kind of.. but there seems to be an issue with the adapter. Works neother in Ubuntu nor Vista. Wired was working fine. Selecting a wireless connection froze Ubuntu. | 04:24 |
| Drizzt321 | I'm trying to print using some certificates that I bought at staples. Unfortunately, I see the text I printed also offset part way, probably because it was still on the roller. I had the paper set to plain in the printing options. What thickness should I use? Bond? Thick Paper? | 04:25 |
| johni | I added the config in /etc/network/interfaces but the mtu does not change even after reboot | 04:25 |
| ryanprior | math: Well at least now I have a better idea of what questions to ask, and I know that it's a software problem rather than a hardware problem. | 04:25 |
| ghindo | I'm having trouble mounting an NTFS-formatted flash drive on Ubuntu 8.04. How can I fix this? | 04:25 |
| ryanprior | ghindo: "having trouble" is too vague for us to give effective help. Can you describe the problem more precisely? | 04:25 |
| b1n42y | omer24: what does Works neother in Ubuntu nor Vista. mean | 04:25 |
| math | ryanprior:maybe hal | 04:26 |
| jeeves | what is the syntax to back up the /home/ dir to a remote box? | 04:26 |
| omer24 | b1n42y: Forget wireless for a moment.. it's wired I;m worried about.. it's a Sony laptop, and wireless doesn't properly connect in Vista either. | 04:26 |
| ryanprior | jeeves: there are many ways you could do that, really. rsync is a good one -- you can read the man page. | 04:27 |
| ryanprior | jeeves: here's a hint: rsync -av host: /dest | 04:27 |
| b1n42y | omer24: have you tried resetting router | 04:28 |
| omer24 | b1n42y: I'm looking for a command or 2 to restore my eth0 connection. | 04:28 |
| jhonnyboy | Hello everyone. I need help formatting a fat32 USB into the ext3 file system in order for me to make a Start Up Ubuntu USB drive. | 04:28 |
| jeeves | ryanprior, I'm trying to use "rsync /home/*.* jeeves@remote_host.ca:/backup" | 04:28 |
| n2diy | jeeves: how are you? Take a look at sbackup, it can do remote backup and restores. | 04:28 |
| jhonnyboy | I did fdisk /media/disk ,but i got this error "I don't know how to handle files with mode 40700 | 04:28 |
| jhonnyboy | You will not be able to write the partition table. | 04:28 |
| jhonnyboy | " | 04:28 |
| ghindo | ryanprior: Sure. When I plug in the flash drive, I get the error message "Cannot mount volume," followed by more details. Should I post the entirety of the error message? | 04:28 |
| omer24 | b1n42y: Not tried that, working ok with my xp laptop. | 04:28 |
| ryanprior | jeeves: I suggest using the -av flags. Look them up in the manual, if you haven't already. If you're getting some sort of error, let's hear it. | 04:29 |
| jeeves | n2diy, I'd like to get rdiff-backup to work properly from a windows box to this Linux box | 04:29 |
| ryanprior | ghindo: It is helpful for us to see exact error messages. If the message is more than a couple lines long, please use pastebin so that it doesn't take up space in the channel. | 04:30 |

| tacosarecool | My screen just randomly dims has nothing to do with power settings | 04:30 |
| b1n42y | omer24: could be to do with leases and the fact you where fiddling with stuff, i had problems with NM till i switched to wicd, so theres another option that you can try for your wireless ( but that sounds like hardware maybe) | 04:30 |
| tacosarecool | I'm on toshiba a105-s4074 | 04:30 |
| n2diy | jeeves: ah, ok, can't help with the Windows side of things, unless it is 95? | 04:30 |
| jhonnyboy | How can i format a USB drive? | 04:30 |
| b1n42y | jhonnyboy: gparted | 04:31 |
| omer24 | b1n42y: Thanks, I'll look into that. | 04:31 |
| jeeves | n2diy, no worries | 04:31 |
| Titan8990 | jhonnyboy, mke2fs /dev/sdxx | 04:31 |
| jhonnyboy | Titan: it is a USB drive. I tried fdisk /media/disk but that didn't work. | 04:31 |
| ryanprior | tacosarecool: I also have a toshiba a105-s with the same problem. I've had to work all sorts of ACPI hacks to keep the screen from dimming, keep the USB subsystem from shorting out, etc. That's a really fun computer to run Ubuntu on, believe you me. | 04:31 |
| Titan8990 | jhonnyboy, thats not its device name, that is its mount point | 04:32 |
| Titan8990 | jhonnyboy, sudo fdisk -l | 04:32 |
| Titan8990 | jhonnyboy, that will give you the device name, you can use gparted GUI as suggested | 04:32 |
| jhonnyboy | found it :) | 04:33 |
| jhonnyboy | /dev/sdc | 04:33 |
| tacosarecool | I hope this is fixed in januty | 04:33 |
| Titan8990 | jhonnyboy, also, you will probably want to do mkfs.vfat if you want it to be readable in linux | 04:33 |
| TooR4u | how to view the wireless network connection password, which is stored previously ..???? | 04:33 |
| Titan8990 | jhonnyboy, err windows I mean | 04:33 |
| tacosarecool | oh yeah 8.04 ran well though | 04:33 |
| tacosarecool | just not 8.10 | 04:33 |
| ghindo | ryanprior: Nevermind, I figured it out on my own. Thanks for the help anyway! | 04:33 |

| jhonnyboy | mke2fs /dev/sdc? | 04:34 |
| ryanprior | tacosarecool: I forget, to be honest. Every time a new Ubuntu comes out it's new problems with that laptop. What I do is keep a bunch of kernels on it and make notes on which ones are the best, so that I can submit hints to the kernel team. | 04:34 |
| Titan8990 | jhonnyboy, you may want to create a partition with fdisk | 04:35 |

| jhonnyboy | Titan: making a partition in ubuntu automatically makes it a ext3? so i can boot off of it? | 04:36 |
| b1n42y | TooR4u: maybe in router? 192.168.0.1 | 04:36 |
| Titan8990 | jhonnyboy, no fdisk creates partitions, mke2fs formats that partition to ext2 | 04:36 |

| ryanprior | b1n42y: Well, they are definitely stored somewhere other than the router. | 04:38 |

| b1n42y | ryanprior: i just checked | 04:39 |
| ryanprior | b1n42y: In that case, I think perhaps network-manager keeps them. If you right-click on network-manager-applet and click "edit connections", does it have the listing there? | 04:40 |

| meshuggah | salut tout le monde! | 04:42 |
| tc111 | ryanprior: too bad he left before he got his answer... impatience. | 04:42 |
| ryanprior | "[bob] matches the letters b or o. so, "bob [bob] bob" matches "bob b bob" or "bob o bob" | 04:42 |
| selocol | ryanprior: i don't understand? | 04:43 |
| ryanprior | tc111: Oh well. Now everybody paying attention in the room has it fresh in their memories and can answer when he comes back. amirite? | 04:43 |
| selocol | ryanprior: what regexp can recognize the brackets? | 04:43 |
| tc111 | ryanprior: too true | 04:43 |
| ryanprior | selocol: anything in brackets [] means to match one of the letters in the brackets | 04:43 |
| selocol | ryanprior: but when I just use "[bob]" it returns all bob's, even the ones w/o brackets | 04:44 |
| ryanprior | selocol: I suggest that you read this, then reconsider your question: http://rute.2038bug.com/node8.html.gz | 04:45 |

| SEVILLA | hey whats the best way to make runlevel 3 boot to a terminal and not load the gdm | 04:47 |
| Nalf | I am trying to use UNetbootin to install ubuntu to my PC from my usb drive. I can boot fine from the partition, but when it loads (I assume it's grub that's loading) the characters displayed are all unreadable. Like if you try to open up docx in wordpad or something. Any ideas on how to get around that? | 04:48 |
| Peddy | SEVILLA, disable GDM from system>administration>services | 04:48 |
| ryanprior | Nalf: It sounds like something is very fundamentally wrong. Perhaps the image is corrupted. | 04:48 |
| Peddy | SEVILLA, although, that may not go into runlevel 3, I forgot what the default runlevel is. | 04:48 |
| Nalf | Ryanprior, I have tried several images and I have even redownloaded UNetbootin. | 04:49 |
| ryanprior | Nalf: have you tried Ubuntu's supported flash-drive install creator? | 04:49 |
| SEVILLA | Peddy: the default is runlevel 2 i guess i could use the init command to switch to run 3 | 04:49 |
| ryanprior | Nalf: (System -> Administration -> Create a USB startup disk) | 04:50 |
| Nalf | Ryanprior: I have no Ubuntu OS at my disposal, otherwise I would. ^_- I'm trying to get around having to go out and buy some blank cds. Horrible, I know. | 04:50 |
| Peddy | SEVILLA, I think 5 is the default runlevel... I could be wrong, but in any case, disabling gdm should stop X starting, which is pretty much runlevel 3 | 04:50 |
| ryanprior | Nalf: Perhaps you could use WUBI? | 04:51 |
| meshuggah | where cna i download Ubuntu Vista ? | 04:51 |
| coreyman | I try to add komodo edit to my path variable with this.. sudo export PATH="~/Komodo-Edit-5/bin:$PATH" | 04:51 |
| coreyman | but when I exit bash and open it again when i type komodo it doesnt exist | 04:51 |
| SEVILLA | Peddy: no it should be 2 type runlevel in your terminal | 04:51 |
| ryanprior | meshuggah: gnome-look and deviantart both have themes which make Ubuntu look more like Microsoft Windows Vista. I suggest you search those places. | 04:51 |
| tacosarecool | ryan I got it to stop dimming | 04:51 |
| coreyman | how can i fix my path? | 04:51 |
| ryanprior | tacosarecool: Great. What trick did you use? | 04:51 |
| tacosarecool | I unchecked it in battery power | 04:51 |
| tacosarecool | the dimming | 04:52 |
| ryanprior | coreyman: That's a good question for #bash | 04:52 |
| tacosarecool | Even though it's plugged in to ac | 04:52 |
| meshuggah | gnome? | 04:52 |
| ryanprior | tacosarecool: Ah. When you said it didn't have to do with power management, I assumed you had already explored that route. | 04:52 |
| meshuggah | no window ? | 04:52 |
| Nalf | Ryanprior: I ran into install issues with WUBI that I couldn't resolve. I suppose I could try it again. It had something to do with.. udevd 6000 sbin/modprobe abnormal exit.. it would hang up for about five minutes, and then it loaded a little bit more and failed around initializing bluetooth?.. | 04:52 |
| coreyman | ryanprior or how about ubuntu... since this has to do with ubuntu path variable and not bash | 04:52 |
| ryanprior | Nalf: yikes. I hardly know what to say -- it sounds like everything is failing. | 04:52 |
| LakesProse | anyone know anything about vsftpd complaing it can't load RSA key ? | 04:53 |
| Peddy | SEVILLA, ok. I don't even think ubuntu uses runlevel 3...https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-August/090227.html | 04:53 |
| ryanprior | coreyman: You might get an answer here if you keep asking, but the path is a shell variable and Ubuntu's shell is Bash, and #bash exists explicitly to deal with bash issues. You'll probably get a satisfactory response if you ask there. | 04:53 |
| meshuggah | someone talked to me about partitian and 2 boot with MS windows | 04:53 |
| Brando753 | suspend shows a black screen and i cant reaccess my computer | 04:53 |
| tacosarecool | still laggy | 04:54 |
| tacosarecool | maybe not | 04:54 |
| Nalf | Ryanprior: Thanks so much for your help. I'll give it a shot. | 04:54 |
| ryanprior | Nalf: I hope it works better this time. | 04:54 |
| tacosarecool | ryan does it lag for you? | 04:54 |
| tony426 | can someone tell me why Handbrake is not in the repos? or a lot of other video tools? | 04:54 |
| tacosarecool | and how do I make ubuntu run 3 hours on battery power like windows | 04:54 |
| ryanprior | Brando753: That often happens due to problems with graphics drivers which only the manufacturers can fix. | 04:54 |
| coty | How can I enable emerald window manager in ubuntu? | 04:55 |
| ryanprior | tacosarecool: Does what lag? | 04:55 |
| ryanprior | tacosarecool: My a105-s gets terrible battery life under Ubuntu, usually less than 45 minutes. | 04:55 |
| SEVILLA | Peddy: you sure cause im using 8.10 and 8.04 and they have runlevels | 04:55 |
| tacosarecool | ubuntu | 04:55 |
| tacosarecool | it lags me | 04:55 |
| ryanprior | tacosarecool: I've found no way to date to improve that. | 04:55 |
| tritium | Peddy: yes, it does. | 04:56 |
| tritium | !runlevels | Peddy | 04:56 |
| ubottu | Peddy: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 04:56 |
| ryanprior | tacosarecool: unfortunately, lag is a really vague term. It could be disk I/O with swapping, or CPU spikes due to running processes, or graphics card issues... | 04:56 |
| coty | Can someone please tell me how to enable emerald window manager in ubuntu | 04:56 |
| === zgmf-x42s_ is now known as project2501 | ||
| ryanprior | coty: emerald no longer is maintained or supported in Ubuntu. We suggest using Compiz now. | 04:57 |

| tritium | SEVILLA: you don't want to use runlevel 3 | 04:58 |
| talntid | coty: metacity --replace & | 04:58 |

| unmonkey | Trying to diagnose hang in 8.10 - I believe problem is related to an ACX111 based wireless card. Help walking through confirming this problem, and documenting it would be very much appreciated | 05:00 |

| tacosarecool | ryan does ubuntu lag for you though? | 05:01 |
| coty | talntid, yes thank you VERY! much | 05:01 |
| talntid | no problem | 05:01 |
| tritium | SEVILLA: see the "update-rc.d" method here to disable gdm on boot: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start | 05:01 |
| talntid | and compiz does support the 6200 | 05:01 |
| ryanprior | tacosarecool: Yes, it lags in many different ways, but it's quite usable; so if your lag is unbearable, there's probably something bad going on. | 05:01 |
| SEVILLA | tritium: what do you suggest im just trying stuff out to see how it works | 05:01 |

| ryanprior | !nvidia | coty, this might be interesting for you to read | 05:03 |
| ubottu | coty, this might be interesting for you to read: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:03 |
| coty | ryanprior, thank you will look into it | 05:03 |
| coty | ryanprior, I've already installed the restricted drivers | 05:04 |
| unmonkey | ryanprior, it says that the card works "out of the box", but dmesg really seems to indicate that the failure is there - I can paste if that'd be helpful | 05:05 |
| coty | ryanprior, I wonder if the problem has to do with the driver I'm using which is 180. I don't remember that driver ever supporting 6200 but ubuntu recommended it for some reason. | 05:05 |
| SEVILLA | tritium: i read somewhere that i could just delet the symbolic link S30Gdm and create a inittab file with id:3:initdefault: and it would work | 05:05 |
| ryanprior | coty: I think that's covered somewhere in the documentation, but I don't deal with nvidia hardware myself so I'm really not fresh. I've always had ATI cards. | 05:06 |
| tritium | SEVILLA: try what you wish | 05:06 |
| SEVILLA | tritium: this is in etc/rc3.d | 05:06 |
| coty | ryanprior, Do you think what ever it will be fixed in the final release? | 05:07 |
| coty | ryanprior, I really don't want to give up compiz | 05:07 |
| tritium | SEVILLA: not the method I'd pursue, but do as you wish | 05:07 |
| tacosarecool | ryan do you think if I got a new harddrive for the laptop it would be less laggy | 05:07 |
| scunizi_ | coty you can use the 173 successfully with that card | 05:07 |
| coty | ok so it is the driver then | 05:08 |
| SEVILLA | tritium: k i will look into yours and get back to you | 05:08 |
| ryanprior | unmonkey: Paste-binning the answers could be helpful. Also, if you don't get an answer here make sure you cross-post to the Ubuntu Forums, which are browsed by many knowledgeable people. Also, file a bug report. Wireless cards really really shouldn't be locking Ubuntu up. Really. | 05:08 |
| scunizi_ | coty: probably.. I had to go the other direction and install the 180.29 for my 8200 card.. | 05:08 |
| tritium | SEVILLA: it's not "mine", per se. That's the debian/ubuntu way of doing things. There is no runlevel 3. | 05:08 |
| coty | why would they recommend 180 if its not supported | 05:08 |
| ryanprior | coty: We can hope everything will be fixed eventually; but because some things are problems with the closed drivers, and the graphics subsystems are going under some pretty major revisions anyway, I dare not prognosticate things getting better in the short term. | 05:09 |
| scunizi_ | coty: its just the latest.. I had a 6600 gt agp previously and the 173 was fine. faster than what I'm using now on the 8200 | 05:09 |
| tacosarecool | Inteprid was at first the worst upgrade I did it's okay now though | 05:10 |
| SEVILLA | tritium: ok thanks for the tip | 05:10 |
| coty | ryanprior, Big changes hmm wonder what there changing in the graphics | 05:10 |
| ryanprior | tacosarecool: Expect many worse upgrades in the future. Software is tricky and messy, especially in areas like graphics and sound, so we're bound to make big mistakes. Always file bug reports and try to buy hardware that has Free drivers available. | 05:11 |
| coty | So once the final release comes out I won't have to reinstall will I? all I have to do is install the patches...I hope | 05:11 |
| tacosarecool | would gtx 260 be a good card | 05:11 |
| scunizi_ | coty: final release? there's never a final release | 05:12 |
| coty | Scunizi, true... | 05:12 |
| ryanprior | coty: Cool stuff is afoot. We're getting a new direct render interface, the graphics execution manager, kernel mode setting, NVIDIA is rolling out this whole VDPAU framework for decoding video on the GPU, lots of new stuff. | 05:12 |

| rww | coreyman: I'm not sure what you're asking... | 05:20 |
| lsx | my vlc n mplayer cannot play that .. | 05:20 |
| tc111 | tritium: and technically, shouldn't any of these questions be posed in #nvidia?? | 05:20 |
| lsx | the sound problem | 05:21 |
| |Rad| | usser are u there? | 05:21 |
| meshuggah | ok | 05:21 |
| meshuggah | i think mine can do it, wait | 05:21 |
| tritium | tc111: not necessarily. We often answer nvidia driver questions here, when the ubuntu-packaged drivers are in question | 05:21 |
| coreyman | rww ok, i just mounted /dev/sda4, i go to the directory it is mounted in, and i can see $username, and home and lost+found, why | 05:21 |
| Akuma_s | Oooh I just saw it rww, it is also in menu/system/administration/Time and Date... | 05:21 |
| tc111 | tritium: ok... i'll let it go... no harm, no foul... ;) | 05:21 |
| Khyron_TD | I recently installed the updates shown in Update Manager and (being stupid) I didn't look at what they were. Now the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177) doesn't work correctly. What happened/how do I fix it?? | 05:21 |
| tritium | tc111: :) | 05:21 |
| MK13 | any one else having the problem where while running OoO Writer whenever I hover my mouse over the toolbar buttons (close,minimize,maximize) it does a weird transparency thing (Nvidia 177 drivers) | 05:21 |
| Akuma_s | I just change it from there, was in the wrong zone, tank you rww... | 05:21 |
| rww | Akuma_s: Oh, yeah. I forget about the easier GUI methods sometimes. Thanks for the note :) | 05:21 |
| consoleart | hi all...i want to use my SKYPE id in any of ubuntu IM is it possible ? | 05:22 |
| meshuggah | lsx, no i have only flv file not mkv | 05:22 |
| lsx | yup | 05:22 |
| rww | !skype | consoleart | 05:22 |
| ubottu | consoleart: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 05:22 |
| lsx | meshuggah, the flv file can play | 05:22 |
| lsx | but the problem is mkv | 05:22 |
| Akuma_s | !skype | 05:22 |
| rww | coreyman: I assume because you either created a separate /home/ partition at some point, or put the folders there... | 05:22 |
| consoleart | thnx guys... | 05:23 |
| Jpdota | hey, i just upgraded from intrepid to jaunty (i know it's alpha, it's in a vm for testing), but whenever i boot, it simply gives me a black screen and the "loading" cursor. does anyone know what the problem is? | 05:23 |
| bullgard4 | Where can I find a description of the Firefox plugin 'ubiquity'? Entering 'about:ubiquity' in Firefox's input line does not produce any result with me. | 05:23 |

| overlord | I have recently installed Windows XP on /dev/sda1. But when I try to boot it from with Grub, it doesn't boot up and the grub page reloads. I need to set the mount point for this drive, how do I do that ? * | 05:24 |
| coreyman | rww ... i just mounted it... | 05:24 |

| nibsa1242b | what do I use to play a mid file? | 05:24 |
| meshuggah | lsx, i found some for debian lenny, so you probably have in ubuntu they are more up to date | 05:24 |
| coreyman | i have a seperate /home partition, but it isn't /dev/sda4 it's /dev/sda3 | 05:24 |
| nanotube | coreyman: so you are saying that you have just formatted the partition? | 05:24 |
| Khyron_TD | I recently installed the updates shown in Update Manager and (being stupid) I didn't look at what they were. Now the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177) doesn't work correctly. What happened/how do I fix it?? | 05:25 |
| coreyman | nanotube yes | 05:25 |
| lsx | ok | 05:25 |
| coreyman | nanotube i guess i can format it again..... | 05:25 |
| rww | coreyman: hrm, that's odd then. lost+found is supposed to be there (it's supposed to be on all ext2/3/4 partitions), but home isn't... Is there anything in there, or is it just an empty directory? | 05:25 |
| nanotube | coreyman: are you sure you formatted the right partition?? | 05:25 |
| Mal3ko | is there anyone familiar with pure-ftpd here? | 05:25 |

| Brack101 | Hey. Flash video is really crappy and slow on my Ubuntu box...is there anything I can do about it? | 05:26 |
| overlord | How do I set a mount point for a partition without formating it ? | 05:27 |
| nanotube | meshuggah: vlc is better than mplayer, imho :) | 05:27 |
| meshuggah | Jpdota, you, what are you doing here? | 05:27 |
| coreyman | overlord, edit your /etc/fstab | 05:27 |
| Akuma_s | In Fstab overlord | 05:27 |
| bullgard4 | nanotube: about:plugins lists a lot of plugins but does not list 'ubiquity'. | 05:27 |
| meshuggah | nanotube, i prefer vlc, but mplayer can read everything | 05:27 |
| Mulder | Is there going to be an update to pidgin for ubuntu 8.10? because icq functionality no longer works without an upgrade | 05:27 |
| Akuma_s | !fstab | 05:27 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 05:27 |
| overlord | Akuma_s: thanks!! | 05:27 |
| meshuggah | nanotube, maybe i mis-configuer flc | 05:27 |
| nanotube | overlord: formatting a partition and mounting it are completely different operations... if you want to mount automatically, look in /etc/fstab, as others said. if you want to manually mount, look at the "mount" command. | 05:27 |
| zeldarocks | I take it the whole "it will most certainly break your system in bad ways" notice in the | 05:27 |
| gigglesworth | Hey gang, I installed the package 'psad' using apt. Then I installed 'psad' using the source files. Now, months later I discover that 'psad' is still in my apt database. How can I remove psad from the database, without distrupting the live files? | 05:28 |
| tritium | Mulder: there are no updates between releases, aside from security and major bug fixes. | 05:28 |
| zeldarocks | Jaunty channel is 100 percwet true hah? | 05:28 |
| nanotube | bullgard4: well, then this plugin is not installed... is it a "plugin" or an "extension"? | 05:28 |
| overlord | nanotube: The drive is not getting detected, so, I cannot mount it. | 05:28 |
| Jpdota | meshuggah: i use many distros ;) i'm als o in #fedora-devel and #linuxmint (on spotchat) :P | 05:28 |
| Khyron_TD | I recently installed the updates shown in Update Manager and (being stupid) I didn't look at what they were. Now the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177) doesn't work correctly. What happened/how do I fix it?? | 05:28 |
| nanotube | overlord: usb drive? | 05:28 |
| bullgard4 | Mulder: The German Ubuntu channel says that there is no remedy found yet in a downloadable DEB package format. So please be patient. It will come. | 05:29 |
| Jpdota | meshuggah: however, debian is my main OS, because it's the most stable, and it works best with my hardware :) | 05:29 |
| Mulder | bullgard4, alright thanks | 05:29 |
| meshuggah | Jpdota, i received a opensolaris cd today(the send free) so i will probably install it tomorrow, i too lazy to do it right now, i worked all day | 05:29 |
| nanotube | Mulder: suggest you use xchat or xchat-gnome instead of pidgin for irc. :) | 05:29 |
| rww | Mulder, bullgard4: The relevant bug report is at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/340075 . There are links in there to PPAs with the new version of Pidgin that apparently fixes it, and getdeb has .deb files for it too. It'll probably also end up in backports. | 05:29 |
| Mulder | nanotube, icq. i use xchat for irc | 05:29 |
| Jpdota | meshuggah: opensolaris is quite nice, i love their ui, it's gnome but with a nice theme | 05:29 |
| tritium | Jpdota, meshuggah: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support chat | 05:29 |
| nanotube | Mulder: ah heh, my bad... reading problems at 1.30 am here.. ;) | 05:30 |
| Mulder | rww, yay. | 05:30 |
| Jpdota | tritium: roger that | 05:30 |
| Mulder | nanotube, no problem :) | 05:30 |
| meshuggah | tritium, sorry i didnt know | 05:30 |

| zeldarocks | I take it the "it will most certainly break your system in bad ways" notice in the Jaunty Jackalope channel is 100 percent true huh? | 05:31 |
| bullgard4 | nanotube: I do not know exactly but people in a forum spoke about a 'plugin'. | 05:31 |
| Mulder | nanotube, lucky you heh | 05:31 |
| nanotube | Mulder: :) | 05:31 |
| overlord | nanotube: Nah. Windows Partition | 05:31 |
| nanotube | bullgard4: what is it supposed to do anyway? | 05:31 |
| coreyman | figured out my problem, accidentaly mounted /dev/sda3 twice instead of /sda4 on /mnt/windows | 05:31 |
| nanotube | overlord: try listing all the partitions with "sudo fdisk -l" (that's a lower case L) | 05:32 |
| nanotube | overlord: see if that shows up... | 05:32 |
| Lapinux | can someone tell me where to find a full list of available repositories for ubuntu 8.10, im looking for the actual urls | 05:32 |

| overlord | nanotube: I installed Windows a yesterday. Reinstalled the grub using the alternate disc of 7.10. And now I cannot boot Win XP. | 05:32 |
| meshuggah | anybody knows how to make work nvtv or tv-out please? | 05:32 |
| zeldarocks | guys, please | 05:33 |
| raylu | overlord: it seems like neither formatting nor mounting are related to your issue | 05:33 |
| raylu | overlord: you have a bad grub conf | 05:33 |
| meshuggah | zeldarocks, hiya | 05:33 |
| Khyron_TD | ah, I have a grub problem too! | 05:33 |
| zeldarocks | hi | 05:33 |
| Akuma_s | Overlord, did you tried dmesg? | 05:33 |
| overlord | raylu: GParted is not showing a mount point for my patition. | 05:33 |
| overlord | Akusma_S: no | 05:33 |
| raylu | overlord: for your windows partition? | 05:33 |
| MK13 | overlord: you can also try the "lspci" command and check all detected devices and search for one w/ the same capacity as your windows drive | 05:33 |
| raylu | Akuma_s: why would dmesg have anything when he tries to boot xp? | 05:33 |
| === zero is now known as Guest77369 | ||
| nanotube | Khyron_TD: yea, those grubs just burrow into anything, pesky little critters... :D | 05:33 |
| overlord | raylu: yes, for my windows partition | 05:34 |
| meshuggah | zeldarocks, what's up? | 05:34 |
| overlord | nanotube: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129101/ | 05:34 |
| Akuma_s | Check if the HD is detected by the system with that command.. | 05:34 |
| zeldarocks | my question was: I take it that the "it will most certainly break your system in bad ways" notice in the Ubuntu 9.04 channel is 100 % true huh? | 05:34 |
| rww | Lapinux: There are only four official ones: main, restricted, universe, and multiverse. Example sources.list lines for them are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine (it's for hardy, but just replace "hardy" with "intrepid" in the example). | 05:34 |
| Khyron_TD | lol, and then they don't find the darn Windows boot sector >_< | 05:34 |
| raylu | overlord: having no mountpoint in linux for your windows partition is perfectly fine | 05:34 |
| huwenfeng | so how can i set the runlevel, or control the runlevel under ubuntu 8.04?? | 05:34 |
| Akuma_s | Try !dmesg for more info | 05:34 |
| tritium | huwenfeng: we discussed this earlier this evening. | 05:34 |
| meshuggah | zeldarocks, what? | 05:34 |
| Khyron_TD | I've been trying to fix the "NTLDR is missing" problem, but can't figure it out >_< | 05:34 |
| raylu | overlord: but you'll need to explain what you mean by "the drive is not getting detected." no mount point and not detected are totally different things | 05:35 |
| Nalf | udevd-event[6310]: 'sbin/modprobe/' abnormal exit. When attempting to install my installer hung up at that for about five minutes.. and then it went really fast for a second... until it go to pan0: dropping NetIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature. When it got there.. it froze entirely for 15 minutes. Any ideas? ^_^ | 05:35 |
| huwenfeng | tritium: yes, i've looked through the man pages, and i found , i still do not know how to solve my problem | 05:35 |
| tritium | zeldarocks: if you're not comfortable with the potential of alpha software breaking your system, don't run jaunty yet | 05:35 |
| bullgard4 | nanotube: Well, that is part of my curiosity. It is supposed to alleviate/automate the access to Web information sites. For example, one can access time tables of the local Transport Authority in the Web with your own departure site specified. In a way, a tailor-made way of access to Web information systems. | 05:35 |
| nanotube | overlord: well, your windows partitions are all there... but none of them are set to bootable (not sure if they should be? anyone else care to chime in?) | 05:35 |
| overlord | raylu: I cannot mount the Windows partition. I cannot boot Windows. | 05:35 |
| zeldarocks | Th ubnutu+1 channel says in the topic (reffering to Jaunty Jackalope alpha) "it will most certainly break your system in bad ways" I take it that the notice is 100 percent true huh? | 05:35 |
| tritium | !runlevels | huwenfeng (Don't forget this) | 05:36 |
| huwenfeng | tritium: my problem is , i want to know the sequence of the start and stop of services , or the sequence the init scripts are executed, | 05:36 |
| ubottu | huwenfeng (Don't forget this): In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 05:36 |
| raylu | overlord: how are you trying to mount the windows partition? | 05:36 |
| meshuggah | zeldarocks, i suggest you to break your system, you will learn more and faster | 05:36 |
| rww | zeldarocks: Yes, it's true. I run Jaunty, and my system has broken badly a few times. Thankfully, I know how to fix it, but if you don't, you shouldn't be using it. | 05:36 |
| bullgard4 | nanotube: s/departure site/departure station | 05:36 |
| zeldarocks | the jaunty install borked my xorg.conf file | 05:36 |
| huwenfeng | tritium: then, i can put my script in them, | 05:36 |
| overlord | raylu: I have no clue how do I mount the drive. | 05:36 |
| raylu | meshuggah: that's best done with another distro | 05:36 |
| zeldarocks | is it the norm? | 05:36 |
| raylu | overlord: ... | 05:36 |
| nanotube | bullgard4: well, google says, go here: http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/ | 05:36 |
| tritium | zeldarocks: that can certainly happen | 05:36 |
| huwenfeng | tritium: ok, i will then go throught the upstart. | 05:36 |
| raylu | overlord: also, there is a big difference between "cannot mount" and "do not know how to mount" | 05:36 |
| zeldarocks | will it happen with the final release? | 05:37 |
| Nalf | udevd-event[6310]: 'sbin/modprobe/' abnormal exit.

When it got there.. it froze entirely for 15 minutes. Any ideas? ^_^ | 05:37 |
| Nalf | Ooops, sorry. | 05:37 |
| rww | zeldarocks: Jaunty discussion belongs in #ubuntu+1, not here, as you know. | 05:37 |
| venu | If i minimize any of the opened files or documents, i could not see that in the panel. i.e, i have to open it again. can any one help me | 05:37 |
| tritium | huwenfeng: you want to use update-rc.d to install init scripts | 05:37 |
| nanotube | bullgard4: they have a prototype version up that you can install and play with. | 05:37 |
| raylu | overlord: so you said it's /dev/sda1? try: sudo mkdir /mnt/win | 05:37 |
| raylu | overlord: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/win | 05:37 |
| overlord | raylu: sec.. | 05:37 |
| nanotube | bullgard4: and it appears that it's an extension, not a plugin. :) | 05:38 |
| raylu | venu: alt+tab? | 05:38 |
| bullgard4 | nanotube: Ah! I am reading now... | 05:38 |
| nanotube | bullgard4: enjoy.... :) | 05:38 |
| bullgard4 | nanotube: Thank you very much for your help. | 05:38 |
| overlord | raylu: I did: sudo mkdir /media/disk1 | 05:40 |
| venu | this time i could see files rotating on the window and select it. but i couldn't see that on the panel | 05:40 |
| raylu | overlord: /media is for removable media, but it makes no real difference | 05:40 |
| overlord | raylu: and then I did: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/disk1 | 05:40 |
| raylu | venu: you removed one of the panel applets. i forgot what it was called (i don't use gnome-panel), but you should be able to right-click and add it | 05:40 |
| overlord | raylu: This is what I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129102/ | 05:40 |
| raylu | overlord: -t ntfs is read-only | 05:40 |
| Khyron_TD | anyone want to help me with my grub problem? keep getting the "NTLDR is missing" problem for my windows partition | 05:41 |
| raylu | overlord: oh. i see. show me "sudo fdisk -l" please | 05:41 |
| raylu | venu: i think it's like "application list" or something similar | 05:41 |
| overlord | raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129104/ | 05:41 |
| venu | I am new to ubuntu. i am facing this problem from the time i installed. i did not remove anything | 05:42 |
| raylu | overlord: it looks like your windows partition is /dev/sda5 | 05:42 |
| raylu | venu: regardless, right-click on the bottom panel and see if you see application list or something that sounds like what you want in there | 05:42 |
| raylu | overlord: also, it looks like you have some kind of raid setup going on | 05:42 |
| Nalf | Kyron_TD, pop in your windows cd, choose to restore or recover an operating system.. I can't remember the exact wording.. login and use the fixboot command. | 05:42 |
| Dacvak | Ever since I installed Emerald and Compiz-Fusion, double clicking the title bar makes the window roll up. I want it to maximize. Changing the settings in System>Window doesn't do anything. How can I fix it? | 05:43 |
| overlord | raylu: No. That's an ntfs partition. And it does get mounted without any issues. | 05:43 |
| meshuggah | anybody knows how to make work nvtv or tv-out please? | 05:43 |
| shear_clone | Dacvak, you need to change that behaviour in the compiz control panel. i forget exactly where to find it though. | 05:44 |
| raylu | overlord: well, sda1 isn't an ntfs partition... | 05:44 |
| Dacvak | shear_clone: I checked all around there. I couldn't find anything. | 05:44 |
| raylu | overlord: what's sdb1, by the way? also, try mounting without -t ntfs | 05:44 |
| shear_clone | Dacvak, stuff like this is compiz' job. i'm looking right now, but i believe it has to be somewhere around here | 05:45 |
| shear_clone | :P | 05:45 |
| Dacvak | lol | 05:45 |
| gigglesworth | Anyone: Can I un-register a package from apt? I overwrote some of the files using a different package from source, and now 'apt-get remove package' fails. | 05:45 |
| overlord | raylu: sdb1 is my external hdd. And sda1 IS the drive where I my windows is installed on. I guess I messed it up while reinstalling Grub | 05:45 |
| overlord | raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129105/ | 05:46 |
| raylu | overlord: ok, then try mounting it without -t ntfs. do you have a raid setup, or is that a mistake in the partition table? | 05:46 |
| coty | Ok apparently my graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions for the display in system > preferences this may also be the reason why compiz doesn't work right. I have a geforce 6200 with the latest drivers installed. | 05:46 |
| overlord | raylu: I do not understand what you mean by "raid setup" | 05:47 |
| coty | So how do I fix this extensions issue i have? | 05:47 |
| raylu | overlord: then you probably don't. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID | 05:47 |
| coreyman | so apparently the "configure file sharing" button doesn't work for me, how do i share folders without that button | 05:47 |
| dagsun | hi all, i'm trying to switch from fakeraid to software raid but can't seem to kill the fakeraid despite removing it from fstab | 05:48 |
| Rave1_ | Dacvak I think you need to look in animations on the compiz control panel | 05:49 |
| shear_clone | well Dacvak, I can't find it either. However, i still maintain that even though both of us appear to be blind, it's still there somewhere. | 05:49 |
| overlord | raylu: Oh, no, I don't. | 05:49 |

| FloatingPony | Because I recently updated to Intrepid (don't ask why so late), and since then the login window displays in 800x600 instead of 1280x1024. After login it displays 1280 as intended. | 05:51 |

| cehr | hi, I just got this computer with hardy on it; it is a p4 2.8ghz. I was wondering if it is worth upgrading to intrepid, since I heard there are some issues with it but after searching around I haven't really found out what these 'issues' are. can anyone explain further? | 05:54 |
| coreyman | raylu i just want to share the folder on my network | 05:54 |
| overlord | raylu: how do i mark the drive as ntfs ? | 05:54 |

| raylu | coreyman: oh. share with windows machines | 05:54 |
| dagsun | how do I get rid of /dev/mapper/nvidia_bicdfgig I turned off nvraid in bios but it still shows up and I can't reformat the drives it's associated with | 05:54 |
| shear_clone | hmm, i think i found the option he wanted. emerald, not compiz | 05:54 |
| raylu | overlord: the partition? i haven't messed with fdisk much. but most likely, it'll screw things up further | 05:54 |
| Nalf | anyone good with installation issues? | 05:54 |
| overlord | raylu: hmm..so what do i do next ? | 05:55 |
| jmjmjm | Cehr: i think that your shouldnt spend time to reinstall something that working alright now, | 05:55 |
| coreyman | raylu yea sure | 05:55 |
| dagsun | cehr: i've got an amd64 x2 3800. and everytime i've tried to upgrade to intrepid i run into problems and reinstall hardy | 05:55 |
| jmjmjm | same ^^ | 05:55 |

| yggdrasi1 | raylu thanks, been having a hard time with thei latitude c400 on 8.04 thinking of going to 8.10 | 06:00 |
| raylu | overlord: as a note, 'fd' is raid autodetect (what sda1 is now) | 06:00 |
| armence | grendal_prime: No offense meant, but I'm not sure anyone here can help with that... | 06:00 |
| yggdrasi1 | how can i tell wich im on ? | 06:00 |

| grendal_prime | I want to keep all of his activities(i video and photo the projects we work on with my treo phone) in one website...but i dont want to have to actually edit a website all the time... is there a blog that i can use that will alow me to put...images...and video on it? | 06:00 |
| yggdrasi1 | oh wait im for sure on 8.04 | 06:00 |
| raylu | yggdrasi1: lsb_release -a | 06:00 |
| yggdrasi1 | raylu, it has random freezes | 06:00 |
| raylu | yggdrasi1: freezes as in kernel panics or..? | 06:01 |

| yggdrasi1 | nothing gotta hold the power button | 06:01 |
| yggdrasi1 | ill take it up to 8.10 | 06:01 |
| raylu | grendal_prime: most do. you're looking for "cms" | 06:01 |
| dagsun | grendal_prime:wordpress is good for that | 06:01 |

| raylu | yggdrasi1: wait, not even the magic sysrq key? | 06:02 |
| yggdrasi1 | wich is ? | 06:02 |
| raylu | yggdrasi1: do you have an ssh server running on the machine? | 06:02 |
| raylu | !sysrq | 06:02 |
| ubottu | In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 06:02 |
| yggdrasi1 | raylu yes i do | 06:02 |
| raylu | yggdrasi1: and i suppose you can't ssh in? | 06:02 |
| yggdrasi1 | nope | 06:02 |

| yggdrasi1 | uh c400 8.04 freez | 06:03 |
| raylu | yggdrasi1: but no flashing capslock/numlock/scrolllock keys either? | 06:03 |
| yggdrasi1 | youll see alot of people | 06:03 |
| yggdrasi1 | now that i havnt checked | 06:03 |
| yggdrasi1 | ill check it out | 06:03 |
| yggdrasi1 | i would rather stay on lts | 06:03 |
| Maahes | I used nano on /var/lib/dpkg/availaable and Its a huge gobdelgook of UTF-8 chars, so I'm hesitant to just add a colon after S9 | 06:03 |
| yggdrasi1 | ill also double check the ssh thing to be certain | 06:03 |
| yggdrasi1 | its so random though its annoying | 06:04 |
| raylu | Maahes: consider using gedit, then | 06:04 |
| dagsun | anyone know how to deactivate fakeraid | 06:04 |
| grendal_prime | dagsun..thanks man...right on the money looks just like what i want..thanks | 06:04 |
| Maahes | raylu, gedit cannot detect character encoding on that file | 06:04 |
| grendal_prime | install a real one...? just joking | 06:05 |
| raylu | Maahes: strange | 06:05 |
| dagsun | grendal_prime: no problem i was looking for the same thing a year ago, found wordpress and stuck with it | 06:05 |
| gigglesworth | Maahes: You should be able to create a backup of /var/lib/dpkg/available (e.g. "cp /var/lib/dpkg/available /var/lib/dpkg/available.backup") and then edit the file. | 06:05 |
| Maahes | gigglesworth, if I delete that file, will dpkg auto-regen it? | 06:06 |
| gigglesworth | But /var/lib/dpkg/available shouldn't be gobbledegook ... it should contain readable words. I believe that each package is separated by a blank line. | 06:06 |

| cehr | yeah, I guess I just don't understand what makes an upgrade an 'upgrade'; what I've seen says it has something to do with the repo's and gnome upgrades but I don't get why it is an 'upgrade' and not just new packages. I must be too used to the 'windows' way :/ | 06:08 |
| gigglesworth | Nalf: Not really, sorry. | 06:08 |

| overlord | raylu: hmm.. | 06:10 |
| raylu | silv3r_m00n: it offers some compatibility trouble. but basically, your processor has twice as many registers and they're twice as large and your 32-bit system is using half of them (bit-wise) and half of them (number wise) | 06:10 |
| Raije | How's everyone doing? | 06:10 |
| overlord | raylu: I'll be right back after a quick reboot !! | 06:10 |
| raylu | overlord: ok | 06:11 |
| silv3r_m00n | raylu: what kind of compatibility problem .. will I have less things to install from synaptic ? | 06:11 |
| raylu | silv3r_m00n: no. but some programs were developed by people on 32-bit machines and weird things happen. some people have had trouble getting 64-bit flash to work with 64-bit firefox and have downgraded both to 32-bit | 06:11 |
| sebsebseb | silv3r_m00n: installing stuff from the terminal is good | 06:12 |

| raylu | overlord: well, you can remove the grub files... after mounting it | 06:20 |

| raylu | Lapinux: what do you need it for? | 06:39 |
| Titan8990 | overlord, label should not affect the partition type | 06:39 |
| Lapinux | raylu: trying to install openbox | 06:40 |
| raylu | Titan8990: by label, he means he changed the partition type in the partition table with fdisk | 06:40 |
| overlord | Titan8990: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129115/ | 06:40 |
| overlord | Titan8990: I did as raylu said. | 06:40 |
| raylu | Lapinux: what's wrong with the version in the repositories? | 06:41 |
| Titan8990 | overlord, I missed what the actual goal was | 06:41 |
| l3ftm1n0r | how do packages get included in the synaptic package manager? | 06:41 |
| raylu | Titan8990: booting windows xp. or mounting it, for now. he might have installed grub onto it (dev/sda1) | 06:41 |
| raylu | l3ftm1n0r: try asking in #ubuntu-devel | 06:41 |
| jeeves | how do I use rdiff to backup my /home/ folder to a remote system? | 06:42 |
| l3ftm1n0r | raylu, thanks | 06:42 |
| Lapinux | raylu: i couldnt get it to work, so i was following a guide | 06:42 |
| overlord | Titan8990: I had installed Windows XP on /dev/sda1 a day back. I used 7.10's alternate disc to reinstall the Grub. After reinstalling the Grub I was unable to load Windows XP or see the drive on ubuntu. | 06:42 |
| raylu | jeeves: you mean rsync? | 06:43 |
| overlord | Titan8990: I used fdisk to change the partition type of /dev/sda1 from auto raid detect to ntfs. | 06:43 |
| === jmjmjm is now known as j4m | ||
| overlord | Titan8990: Now, when I try to boot Win XP from the grub I get an error saying "Invalid drive selected. press any key to continue" and this send me back to the Grub loader. | 06:44 |
| overlord | Titan8990: So, basically, I would want to use the Win XP drive. | 06:44 |
| jeeves | raylu, naaaa, rdiff | 06:44 |
| Titan8990 | overlord, pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:44 |
| raylu | jeeves: you want to use something that compares files to move files... | 06:44 |
| raylu | Titan8990: the problem is sda1 used to be his windows partition (or so he claims) and is now marked as 'linux raid autodetect.' he has no raid setup, so it's not a grub issue | 06:45 |
| jeeves | raylu, I'm trying to test it using Linux to Linux box before I move to Windows to Linux | 06:45 |
| overlord | TItan8990: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129120/ | 06:46 |
| raylu | jeeves: what i'm saying is that rdiff is not a backup tool, as far as i'm concerned. i do know that lots of people, me included, use rsync to back their files up remotely | 06:46 |
| Titan8990 | raylu, the last pastebin I saw from him showed it as ntfs.... | 06:46 |
| jeeves | raylu, well, I need a good soulition to back up windows boxes to Linux over the net | 06:46 |
| raylu | Titan8990: that was after he changed the partition table :P | 06:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | jeeves, have you seen the HowtoForge article http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_rdiff_backup ? | 06:46 |
| raylu | jeeves: there are windows tools for rsync. and there's always cygwin if all else fails | 06:47 |
| overlord | Titan8990: Yes, I did change it a few minutes back | 06:47 |
| jeeves | ZykoticK9, yes, but that dosn't help with the windows portion of it dosen't help | 06:47 |
| Titan8990 | overlord, anyways your line for windows should read root(hd0,0) not root(hd0,1) | 06:48 |
| jeeves | raylu, I'd like to keep it as simple as possible so we just have to put the directories in that we want backed up, and the user name, and it'll only backup the diff in the files | 06:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | jeeves, sorry I'd never heard of rdiff-backup before so went searching, found that. Just wanted to point it out. Good luck. | 06:48 |
| overlord | Titan8990: okay. | 06:48 |
| raylu | jeeves: yes... that's what rsync does | 06:48 |
| overlord | Titan8990: reboot ? | 06:48 |
| h1tler | niggers | 06:48 |
| jeeves | raylu, ok, so I guess I'll just rsync it then. | 06:48 |
| jeeves | now the next question is what would the syntax be? | 06:49 |
| overlord | Titan8990: okay. am going for a reboot. let's see if it works or not. | 06:49 |
| Titan8990 | overlord, we will be here | 06:49 |
| raylu | jeeves: in windows? | 06:49 |
| h1tler | JEWS CAUSED 9/11 JEWS CAUSED 9/11 | 06:49 |

| raylu | rsync --delete -rlvzn /home jeeves@remote_host.ca:/backup | 06:51 |
| raylu | jeeves: but this requires some explaination | 06:51 |
| raylu | jeeves: first, there is no trailing slash because | 06:51 |
| raylu | jeeves: that does weird things | 06:51 |
| raylu | jeeves: r = recurse, l = copy symlinks as symlinks, v = verbose, z = compress, n = dry-run (as in, don't actually do it) | 06:52 |
| Titan8990 | raylu, doesn't he need to specify ssh with -e when not going to a rsync daemon? | 06:52 |
| jeeves | raylu, ok, what I'm trying to do is back up everything on one server's /home directory to the local server here | 06:52 |
| raylu | jeeves: --delete deletes files that don't appear locally but appear on the server | 06:52 |
| raylu | jeeves: oh... you want it to fetch the files? | 06:52 |
| jeeves | raylu, I'll be logged onto the production server I want to back up to the remote backup server | 06:53 |

| jeeves | raylu, but I'd like to recersivly do all of the /home/ dir | 06:54 |
| raylu | jeeves: ok, then that's fine. rsync actually has an archive mode (-a) that is all the flags i gave you with some extras | 06:54 |
| raylu | jeeves: that you might want to look into. also, if your clocks aren't quite synced, you'll want to look at using -c | 06:54 |
| marsh | what's the best way to make a complete image backup of ubuntu 8.10? | 06:54 |
| trevor | hello folks | 06:54 |
| jeeves | raylu, good. can you give me the quick and dirty way of doing it? then I'll tweak it. | 06:54 |
| overlord | Titan8990: No success. This time selecting XP results in a black flickering screen for a few seconds and then back to the Grub loader. | 06:54 |
| raylu | jeeves: i did | 06:54 |
| raylu | rsync --delete -rlvzn /home jeeves@remote_host.ca:/backup | 06:55 |
| jeeves | raylu, ok, thanks. | 06:55 |
| raylu | jeeves: see the notes i added immediately after that | 06:55 |
| Titan8990 | overlord, sounds like the partition is bad... I would recommend a MS checkdisk from a recovery console or bart's pe | 06:55 |
| trevor | i am on a brand new ubuntu install, what should i do right away to make ubuntu more usable | 06:55 |
| Titan8990 | raylu, checked, -e is not needed | 06:55 |
| verma | hello all, is there a command line tool where I can view CPU cores' usage? | 06:55 |
| raylu | Titan8990: ok | 06:55 |
| Mal3ko | trevor: install mscore fonts..default fonts in ubuntu is fugly | 06:56 |
| raylu | verma: top. thought htop is nicer, but not installed by default | 06:56 |
| jeeves | raylu, thanks. I'll give this a try and finish this bottle of rum | 06:56 |
| trevor | how do i insatll that mal3ko | 06:56 |
| marsh | what's the best way to make a complete image backup of ubuntu 8.10? an option to copy the image backup on another driver and can be restored even after reformatting the main driver | 06:56 |
| raylu | trevor: also, get rid of gnome and use dwm :D just kidding | 06:56 |
| Nalf | trevor, nuke your hard drive and give up computers. Computers know nothing about stability.;) | 06:56 |
| overlord | TItan8990: Okay. I am ready to that. But do not know how to. Could you guide me ? | 06:56 |
| verma | raylu, oh nice, let me try htop .. top tells me the usage of the CPU not individual cores | 06:56 |
| Titan8990 | overlord, it requires that you have a windows installation disk | 06:56 |
| Titan8990 | overlord, for both options | 06:56 |
| proj3ct2501 | hey are their any vbox users here? like pros? have come about a problem i have never encountered before | 06:56 |

| trevor | prok3ct2501 what do you need to know | 06:57 |
| Titan8990 | proj3ct2501, join #vbox | 06:57 |
| raylu | verma: htop does indeed tell you usage of each core | 06:57 |
| ash_gfm | Thunar, ctrl-a selects all. Nautilus, ctrl-a 'I would like to select all files, please think about it for 5 or 6 minutes, and get back to me, you *$&*&$ idiot' | 06:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | proj3ct2501, what's problem are you having? | 06:57 |
| verma | raylu, nice :) .. thanks | 06:57 |
| ash_gfm | Is there anything I can do short of paying $100 to have the authors beaten up? | 06:57 |
| raylu | ash_gfm: bash: what is select all? | 06:57 |
| ash_gfm | I mean, cheaper than donating to the project, and more effective | 06:57 |
| ash_gfm | ctrl-a | 06:58 |
| raylu | ash_gfm: you should just get rid of your gui | 06:58 |
| overlord | Titan8990: Oh. Okay. Nice. I'll have to go though that blue installation screen again which really irritates me! My opinion was correct: "Microsoft is really VERY tough to handle". Never imagined playing a game could be so hard! =/ | 06:58 |
| Titan8990 | ash_gfm, +1 to raylu's suggestion | 06:58 |
| raylu | ash_gfm: or, rather, keep it around for things like firefox and mplayer | 06:58 |
| ash_gfm | raylu, I should, except I need thumbnails for sorting the images in the design folder. I use C-x-f but as I age, the ability to parse jpeg in my head diminishes | 06:58 |
| raylu | ash_gfm: but not for things like nautilus | 06:58 |
| ash_gfm | Titan8990, +1 for uinazism | 06:59 |

| overlord | hahaha. that's amazing ! | 06:59 |
| raylu | ash_gfm: hrm. i suppose that's a valid excuse | 06:59 |
| greenhousewarrio | they're comparing a fresh xp install to an old xp install | 06:59 |
| raylu | ash_gfm: as in do everything in bash except web-browsing and movie-watching | 07:00 |
| overlord | Titan8990 & raylu: Thanks for your help. I'll be back after the recovery thing. Will update you guys if you'll stick around untill then. | 07:00 |
| ash_gfm | raylu, if you're not using links, and running all your movies through an ascii filter, you're doing it wrong. | 07:00 |
| Titan8990 | overlord, oh, from the recovery console you will be running chkdsk -r | 07:00 |
| Nalf | Anyone know why your install would hang up at 'starting bluetooth'? | 07:00 |
| ash_gfm | raylu, so fail for you. but - what editor do you use? | 07:01 |
| Titan8990 | overlord, if it doesn't detect your windows install, its probably borked completely | 07:01 |
| raylu | Mal3ko: have you poked around /etc/pureftpd | 07:01 |
| Titan8990 | overlord, gl | 07:01 |
| raylu | ash_gfm: vim | 07:01 |
| overlord | Titan8990: thanks you ! =] | 07:01 |
| overlord | thank* | 07:01 |
| ash_gfm | raylu, oh, fail. I can bench press 300lbs with my pinky. | 07:01 |
| raylu | ash_gfm: explain? | 07:01 |
| ash_gfm | I use emacs | 07:01 |
| raylu | ash_gfm: heh. debian's vim developer recently switched to emacs | 07:01 |
| marsh | anyone please? image backup for ubuntu 8.10? | 07:02 |
| Titan8990 | ash_gfm, emacs is much more than a text editor :) | 07:02 |
| Mal3ko | raylu: im clueless. | 07:02 |
| Titan8990 | marsh, sudo dd if=/dev/sdxx of=myimage | 07:02 |
| ash_gfm | anyway, console faggotry aside, you can't beat screen, htop and netsomething, slap on emacs and you still can't sort thumbnails. But you can killall -9 nautilus, which feels good | 07:02 |
| raylu | Mal3ko: could you paste the ls of that directory? is there such a directory? | 07:02 |
| ash_gfm | anyway, I am using thunar now, so I can let nautilus die | 07:03 |
| Titan8990 | marsh, or you can use gparted or a livecd like clonezilla | 07:03 |
| marsh | Titan8990: any gui tool? | 07:03 |
| ash_gfm | I just think it has been slowing down my machine A LOT | 07:03 |
| hateball | marsh: Clonezilla is nice if you want to take images | 07:03 |
| Titan8990 | marsh, gparted and clonezilla have GUIs | 07:03 |
| ash_gfm | so it needs to be investigated, I thought it was VirtualBox with photoshop, but now I think nautilus is the culprit | 07:03 |
| marsh | what do you guys recommend best? | 07:03 |
| deadlyninja | im getting errors like this in my dmesg: "ata7: SError: { DevExch }". How can figure out which physical device ata7 maps to? | 07:03 |
| hateball | marsh: I use Clonezilla on a daily basis, so... I like it :) | 07:04 |
| Mal3ko | raylu: auth conf db pureftpd-dir-aliases pureftpd.passwd pureftpd.pdb | 07:04 |

| ash_gfm | marsh, almost all projects that are 'guis for a tool' are completely rubbish and fail to work properly, see synergy | 07:04 |
| raylu | ash_gfm: have you heard the joke: emacs is a great operating system but it lacks a good text editor? | 07:04 |

| lyy | rip my head off | 07:19 |
| pwuertz | ripps: just right click on the title | 07:19 |
| Titan8990 | lyy, when I was in to it, I found these forums very helpful: http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/System-Building-Upgrading-f27.html&s=1d99a430e361b8809443bb608afa3d38 | 07:19 |

| lyy | Titan8990: ok thanks | 07:20 |
| Titan8990 | lyy, I am only trying to help.... | 07:20 |
| petaflot | raylu: I made sure the perms on ~/.ssh/ are correct, the config files are the same on all hosts | 07:20 |
| raylu | petaflot: o.0 | 07:20 |
| raylu | petaflot: try connecting with ssh -v | 07:20 |
| ripps | pwuertz: will that work with every instance of the program in the future? | 07:20 |
| pwuertz | lyy, Titan8990 we could as well assist in choosing components suitable for running ubuntu ^^ | 07:20 |
| crdlb | ripps: compiz allows user configuration to exclude an app from focus-stealing prevention, by metacity doesn't | 07:20 |
| crdlb | err, but metacity doesn't* | 07:21 |
| Titan8990 | lyy, gigabyte GA-P45-DS3L | 07:21 |
| pwuertz | ripps: hmm.. always on top won't really keep the focus.. it just ensures that the window is always on top ^^ | 07:21 |
| lyy | ;) | 07:21 |
| ripps | crdlb: I want the program to steal focus, I have a script that calls seahorse-agent, and don't want to have to grab my mouse to select the window when it pops up. | 07:21 |
| lyy | thanks | 07:22 |
| Titan8990 | lyy, with a e8400 to OC.... unless you want to fork over the cash of a i7 | 07:22 |
| crdlb | ripps: using metacity? | 07:22 |
| lyy | I got the money (I work for a living :) | 07:22 |
| ripps | crdlb: no, compiz | 07:22 |

| Titan8990 | lyy, well, something else to think about is that the new chipsets for the lga 1366 socket that the i7 uses, may not be fully linux compatible yet, I would not be able to verify that | 07:24 |
| petaflot | raylu: I wonder why the "we did not send a packet" | 07:24 |
| huwenfeng | in ubuntu, when i control control+alt+delete, then system info me to let me choose what i want to do. so , i wonder, can i define my actions? like control+alt+A to do some thing, then control+alt+B to do another thing? anyone knows about this? | 07:24 |

| raylu | petaflot: what was the full ssh command you used? | 07:26 |
| raylu | !dualhead | 07:26 |
| ubottu | Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 07:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | huwenfeng, check out System / Prefs / Keyboard Shortcuts - you can pretty much configure the keys to do whatever you wish. Good luck. | 07:26 |
| crdlb | ripps: of course the ideal solution is to somehow get an X timestamp from your action to travel all the way down to the seahorse-agent window, telling the window manager that its timestamp is newer than your interaction with the currently focused window | 07:26 |
| digitalgheko | rww on 8.10 intrepid | 07:26 |

| digitalgheko | mmm | 07:26 |

| Titan8990 | lyy, but they are faster | 07:28 |
| petaflot | ZykoticK9: you may be right. but I can't administer my machines as a normal user, and ideally password auth would be disabled | 07:29 |

| kenjy_ | it just stoped working, what can I do? | 07:32 |
| raylu | Mal3ko: none | 07:33 |

| raylu | ... | 08:05 |
| raylu | gaurav_overlord: no way. this is with the nt boot loader? | 08:05 |
| gaurav_overlord | Titan8990: and since then I have been looking for a cd to install Grub. | 08:05 |
| Titan8990 | gaurav_overlord, any linux live cd should do | 08:06 |
| gaurav_overlord | Titan8990: What is with nt boot loader ? | 08:06 |
| raylu | i'm more interested in what fdisk has to say about your drive now, though | 08:06 |
| gaurav_overlord | Titan8990: Yeh, I finally found Intrepid. thought I would inform you guys first | 08:06 |

| consoleart | can i use QT to connect to a MYSQL database ? | 08:13 |
| consoleart | if yes then can you give any reference for the same | 08:13 |

| ActionParsnip | consoleart: all those apps are sql based | 08:14 |
| raylu | gaurav_overlord: outside of the grub shell, grub-install --root-directory=/media/whatever /dev/sda | 08:14 |

| consoleart | so i want to know how to use mysql with QT4 | 08:15 |
| consoleart | if any reference sites / books / manuals are available it would be of much help | 08:16 |
| Titan8990 | consoleart, qt4 is not a programming language, its a GUI toolkit.... | 08:16 |
| huwenfeng | oh, you are very kind to answer my questions , thank you all | 08:16 |
| gaurav_overlord | Titan8990: I just got to that page a few seconds back. Thanks for your help mate ! | 08:16 |
| Titan8990 | consoleart, first you will need to select a language in which to write you application that has bindings with qt | 08:17 |
| consoleart | exactly...so how do i connect to a abackend if i have develop a UI in qt | 08:17 |
| Titan8990 | consoleart, python would be an easy solution, but possibly not the most ideal | 08:17 |
| consoleart | sorry for my ignorance...but iam little confused | 08:17 |
| sexcopter | it's not 100% clear to me, with ssh, using the -C flag for compression, is it only effective for protocol version 1, or just that the compression level setting only has effect for protocol version 1? | 08:17 |
| gaurav_overlord | Ahh. done. | 08:17 |
| sauvin | consoleart, generally, mysql, postgresql and similar products pretty much assume you're going to do some coding. | 08:18 |

| gaurav_overlord | Be back after the bootup. Thanks Titan8990 & raylu !! | 08:19 |
| fellojell_o | yeah, clearing catch dosen't help much. | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | fellojell_o: tried closing all firefoxes and renaming ~/.mozilla to test | 08:20 |
| sexcopter | ActionParsnip: to me, that reads that compression works for both versions, but only protocol 1 lets you control compression level. seems a bit odd, but not a problem | 08:20 |
| mortne2 | Now I pasted a series of button presses from xev on http://paste.ubuntu.com/129148/ . Can anyone help me what to do to get the buttons working? | 08:21 |

| ActionParsnip | fellojell_o: you will get a stock profile, as you only renamed we can rename back after the test | 08:24 |
| Titan8990 | aurax, dhcp would be my first guess | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | fellojell_o: idiots will say to delete stuff but I always include a rollback method | 08:24 |

| checky | how can i install application on ubuntu?? | 08:29 |
| fellojell_o | I appreciate your help ActionParsnip. I'll be back tomorrow. | 08:29 |
| Hemebond1 | ActionParsnip: They're not listed under Edit Configuration. | 08:29 |
| Hemebond1 | They're only available when I left-click the applet or when I go to Connection Information. | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond1: if your network is working and working fine, i wouldnt touch it | 08:30 |
| RocknRoll | checky, do you have package with u? | 08:30 |
| Hemebond1 | ActionParsnip: It's not working fine. I need a static IP. | 08:30 |
| steedle | ok so i am new to ubuntu, i have downloaded the cd and booted my machine from it, saw the ubuntu loading screen fine, but now the video is all messed up, any takers ? | 08:30 |
| Hemebond1 | steedle: What video card? | 08:30 |
| Hemebond1 | Nvidia 7800? | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond1: you can specify a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces if you wish, it will supercede anything stupid nm trys to do | 08:31 |
| gypsymauro | hi | 08:31 |
| Hemebond1 | ActionParsnip: Already done it. | 08:31 |
| steedle | ati radeon 9200 | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond1: cool | 08:31 |
| Hemebond1 | ActionParsnip: No. I still don't have a static IP. | 08:31 |
| gypsymauro | I don't see splash progress bar when I start ubuntu, but I can c X.org | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond1: after yo editted the file did you restart networking? | 08:32 |
| Hemebond1 | gypsymauro: Does Ubuntu load? | 08:32 |
| Hemebond1 | ActionParsnip: yes. | 08:32 |
| gypsymauro | Hemebond1: yes | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond1: and the ip hasnt applied | 08:32 |
| Hemebond1 | ActionParsnip: Correct. | 08:32 |
| albech | is there a way to tell the reps to use a newer version of pidgin.. the version 2.5.2 that is out at the moment doesnt connect to ICQ anymore.. | 08:32 |
| Hemebond1 | ActionParsnip: I'll try again. brb. | 08:32 |
| gypsymauro | Hemebond1: but is so ugly to see a black screen for 20 secs.. | 08:33 |
| Hemebond1 | gypsymauro: You think a black screen is ugly? You should see my Ubuntu loading screen. | 08:33 |
| steedle | better than seeing the windows xp screen for 45 seconds, which i am trying to get rid of now | 08:33 |
| steedle | :) | 08:33 |

| Hemebond | ActionParsnip: It's given me the static this time. | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond: yeah maybe it needed to be restarted again. i'd give a reboot just to make sure its going to get set after a cold boot | 08:35 |

| Hemebond | ActionParsnip: No. I need to be able to talk to my guests and have the guests talk to each other. | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond: or to be able to access the guests from other systems | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond: gotcha | 08:41 |
| Hemebond | ActionParsnip: As well as be able to use the internet from all machines; virtual or otherwise. | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond: ive done it in vmware, its part of the setup | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond: i can get you web access | 08:41 |
| Hemebond | ActionParsnip: Yeah. VMware does it all for you. Great setup. | 08:41 |

| Hemebond | ActionParsnip: Yes. Other keys generate keycodes, but the "multimedia" keys do not. | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond: if xev doesnt react its not recieving an input | 09:02 |
| marsh | ActionParsnip: actually, the instruction is just click "make usb bootable" and that's it, i guess i just have to try a bootable CD instead | 09:02 |

| ActionParsnip | edmond: then use ./<bin file> to run it (make sure your pwd is the same as the location of the script) | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | kozuka: head to ##windows for vista advice, this is ubuntu support | 09:08 |

| jerto | marko__, sudo cp -r home/mark/Desktop/codecs/ /usr/local/lib/codecs/ | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ruby_on_tail1: depends on settings and config of the app | 09:23 |
| marko__ | jerto: still doesnt work :( | 09:23 |

| shambat | I'm trying to run loggen (part of syslog-nt) on my Ubuntu Server 8.10 ... I get a "Error connecting to target server: Connection refused" message...I'm using 127.0.0.1 as the target server and 514 as the port (default I think) | 09:52 |
| riwa | I just upgraded from 7.04 to 8.04 and when I'm viewing the release notes on 8.10 it says it's not a LTS version. Does that mean it's like a "bleeding edge" release that will be improved? | 09:52 |

| Mark____ | nah | 09:53 |
| Mark____ | lts means long term | 09:53 |
| riwa | revilodraw, Did you update from 8.04 -> 8.10? | 09:53 |
| Mark____ | 8.10 is just a normal releas | 09:54 |
| Mark____ | e | 09:54 |

| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: not sure, i dont use xmms* i use amarok myself. try a different gui | 09:54 |

| ActionParsnip | puppypusher: im blaming broadcom, they suck | 09:57 |
| sjefsape | how do I get internett in ubuntu? I can`t get ip from router | 09:57 |
| riwa | revilodraw, I remember having this problem a lot when running ubuntu (a couple of years ago). Ubuntu does everything for you which has a lot of benefits. But it also tends to be slow. | 09:57 |
| puppypusher | Oh, I'm blaming Broadcom too. For sure. | 09:57 |
| puppypusher | I may not know Linux (as you know) but I know my networking inside and out. This is insane. lol | 09:57 |

| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: afaik its a new team | 10:00 |
| sjefsape | ActionParsnip: okey :| the link lights are flashing | 10:00 |
| Chuckster | It says it can encrypt DNS requests.....but cant the ISP still see that? | 10:00 |
| Chuckster | or is that guide using your own computer as a DNS server? | 10:00 |
| revilodraw | riwa; yes, all programs are loading incredibly slowly, as is the home folder etc | 10:00 |
| pingvinas | sorry how can i delete .gnome and .gnome2 directories? | 10:00 |
| Chuckster | who actually resolved the websites in a ssh tunneling scenario? | 10:00 |
| pingvinas | where are they? | 10:00 |
| ormandj | hi, using 8.10 server, seeing in jaunty there is a new dovecot-postfix integration, is there documentation on 'how' it works - so I can setup the same thing in 8.10, to make migration easy ? | 10:00 |
| riwa | puppypusher, I'm pretty sure WoW should run under wine. | 10:00 |
| silv3r_m00n | ActionParsnip: yes | 10:00 |
| riwa | revilodraw, Well I'm the wrong guy to ask. But maybe you're running out of memory? | 10:01 |
| georgeaf | how to use yelp to view the sysadmin-guide package guys ? | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | georgeaf: man yelp | 10:01 |
| shear_clone | Chuckster, so Alice uses a SSH tunnel into Bob's computer. Bob's computer then sends everything out to the ISP, so as far as the ISP can tell, it's coming from Bob. | 10:01 |
| georgeaf | ActionParsnip, nothing useful is there | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: they probably used teh old xmms source and made it into xmms2 | 10:02 |
| silv3r_m00n | ActionParsnip: yes | 10:02 |
| silv3r_m00n | and what I need is the old xmms | 10:02 |
| silv3r_m00n | which I have found on xmms.org | 10:02 |
| shear_clone | Chuckster, it's mostly useful to get around say, a filter at work. or if you trust the connection to your home computer, but not the connection to your hotel room. it doesn't *really* anonymize you | 10:02 |
| riwa | revilodraw, If your system runs smooth and after an update it doesn't it's usually not your mistake. So a google could do the trick aswell. It's likely someone else has experienced the same thing and maybe solved it. | 10:03 |
| Chuckster | shear_clone, I thought even if you had SSH tunneling setup, your ISP would still be resolving the DNS? even though they wouldnt be able to view the contents? | 10:03 |

| ActionParsnip | CQ: is that after every boot? | 10:34 |
| piyushchandraind | hello | 10:34 |
| pingvinas | i removed .gnome and .gconf directories to get default gnome configuration, but it doesn't restore it!! | 10:34 |
| pingvinas | what should i do? | 10:34 |
| gypsymauro | I've to clone a ubuntu dekstop from a PC to another via network, it's possible? | 10:34 |
| koshar2 | gypsymauro use partimage | 10:35 |
| CQ | but why is it doing it? | 10:35 |
| fosco_ | pingvinas: gnome configs are stored in many other places | 10:35 |
| CQ | I don't see anything more in dmesg, it probes, finds eth0, and then decides to rename it | 10:35 |
| pingvinas | i just want to get my gnome default back | 10:35 |
| pingvinas | cause the top and bottom lines of desktop just gone | 10:36 |
| pingvinas | fosco_ what should i do? | 10:36 |
| pingvinas | i also removed .gnome | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | CQ: you can technically rename them anything you want using that sort of thing, see if theres a tutorial anyplace for renaming interfaces and maybe its been done somehow | 10:36 |
| riwa | pingvinas, Then you probably should re-create it, don't you think? | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | pingvinas: try renaming all the ~/.g* folders like .gconf2 and so on | 10:37 |
| fosco_ | pingvinas: try mv ~/.config ~/.CONFIG (but other programs could be affected) | 10:37 |
| pingvinas | you mean try to remove .config? | 10:37 |
| fosco_ | no | 10:37 |
| fosco_ | only rename | 10:37 |
| zined | howdy guys, i'm trying to get my graphic card, which worked from initial installation, to work again. is there anything i can do to make ubuntu rescan my graphic hardware like it's done initially? :( | 10:38 |
| pingvinas | i don't have .gnome or .gconf directory anymore | 10:38 |
| pingvinas | nor do i have .gconf2 | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | pingvinas: only rename so if its not right you can roll back. if you delete you ave no easy way of retrieving the settings | 10:38 |
| jatt | where do I find the cron logs? I want to check if a cron.hourly command is running. | 10:39 |
| zined | jatt: i guess /var/log/cron.log or /var/log/syslog | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | pingvinas: what about .gnome2_private | 10:39 |
| pingvinas | but what a heck, i was just told that if i remove .gnome and .gconf then the system will restore the defaults | 10:39 |
| pingvinas | i don't have .gnome2 | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | pingvinas: .gconfd .gconf .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gvfs | 10:40 |
| pingvinas | i was given this link and followed the commands | 10:40 |

| nidis | hello from greece :-) | 10:43 |
| CQ | ActionParsnip: the answer is in /etc/udev/ where modprobe tries to keep the interfaces consistently named, it had an old networking card still lsited there that would have been eth0 | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | piyushchandraind: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify the cd was ok once initially booted to? | 10:43 |

| deadlyninja | im wondering why, in /etc/hosts, localhost is set to 127.0.0.1 but my actual hostname is set to 127.0.1.1 | 10:48 |
| deadlyninja | will it break anything if i change my hostname to my external ip? | 10:48 |
| georgeaf | hey guys, do i have to restart gnome to make the nautilus properties page display correct mime types ? | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyninja: localhost is always 127.0.0.1 | 10:50 |
| _Linuxx_ | ninja, the hosts file should have 2 entrys | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyninja: your hostname will be something like daves-pc | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyninja: what is the output of: cat /etc/hostname | 10:50 |
| _Linuxx_ | 127.0.0.1localhost, 127.0.1.1computerHostName | 10:50 |
| deadlyninja | ActionParsnip: my hostname is centauri. im wondering if setting the centauri hostname to 192.168.0.13 will cause a problem, why is it set to 127.0._1_.1 | 10:51 |
| piyushchandraind | ActionParsnip: is disabling acpi and dma through BIOS ? | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyninja: no because the system references itself via the loopback device which is 127.0.0.1 | 10:51 |

| uncle_ben | i'm trying to rename a bunch of files and am using this code: for i in *; do echo mv "$i" "$(date +%Y_%m_)$RANDOM"; done | 10:52 |
| uncle_ben | when i execute it runs and lists the renamed files in the terminal, but the old filenames are still displayed in nautilus, even after a refresh, so it's not really being renamed...what am i doing wrong??? | 10:52 |
| pingvinas | actionparsnip, i made a new user, but there is no .gconf anyway | 10:52 |
| georgeaf | hello, is there an easier way to make nautilus recognize the new mimes ? | 10:52 |
| _Linuxx_ | ninja, planation why. | 10:52 |
| _Linuxx_ | This is a fix for the new system that was started back in edgy where the | 10:52 |
| _Linuxx_ | host name was split off to 127.0.1.1, the problem is that some | 10:52 |
| _Linuxx_ | applications still look for the host name @ 127.0.0.1, so to keep those | 10:52 |
| _Linuxx_ | applications happy and running smoothly you simple need to add the host | 10:52 |
| FloodBot1 | _Linuxx_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:52 |
| _Linuxx_ | name where those applications expect it to be. | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyninja: if you want OTHER systems to resolve centauri to 192.168.0.13 the you add it to TEIR hosts file | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | _Linuxx_: dont do that please | 10:52 |
| O__o | The aaplication 'NetworkManager Applet' (/usr/bin/nm-applet) wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked | 10:53 |
| _Linuxx_ | it was a copy paste | 10:54 |
| uncle_ben | anybody?? | 10:54 |
| deadlyninja | ActionParsnip: some programs want to know what host to listen to stuff on, if i say listen on host centauri, no one else can connect to it because 127.0.1.1 is only accessible to localhost | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | O__o: if you websearch that exact error you get http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-940291.html | 10:54 |

| deadlyninja | here is my hosts http://rafb.net/p/GlX5Qj31.html | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyninja: do you mean interface rather than host to listen on | 10:55 |
| georgeaf | do we have to add mime types manually ? or there's some online database ? | 10:55 |
| deadlyninja | ActionParsnip: well im configuring sabnbzd and it wants to know what "host" to listen on | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyninja: are you logged in as root? | 10:56 |
| O__o | ActionParsnip, it doesnt give solution | 10:56 |
| deadlyninja | ActionParsnip: yes | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyninja: why? | 10:56 |
| deadlyninja | ActionParsnip: because im coming from gentoo and bsd | 10:56 |
| deadlyninja | i dont understand why everyone types sudo all day | 10:56 |
| magnetron | deadlyninja→ no need, just type sudo -i once | 10:57 |
| georgeaf | do we have to add mime types manually ? or there's some online database ? | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | oh well,at least you understand why running web apps and x server is hideously insecure and that the accound being disabled actually improves security as there is zero chance that the password can be brute forced? | 10:57 |
| magnetron | georgeaf→ most applications use "libmagic" | 10:57 |

| deadlyninja | ActionParsnip: sabnbzd works with my hosts file works the way it is (http://rafb.net/p/GlX5Qj31.html) but not if its 127.0.1.1 | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyninja: ok, so you need to add the ip for centauri to the hosts file of sabnzbd, this will make the name always resolve tothe ip | 11:00 |

| _Linuxx_ | deadlyninja: your host file is fine, it will work the way it is | 11:01 |

| deadlyninja | ActionParsnip: no one else can connect to the server when the host has 127.0.1.1 in it | 11:02 |
| deadlyninja | _Linuxx_: is there a reason why its 127.0.1.1 by default? im trying to avoid future explosions | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyninja: thats why you need slightly different host files on each system | 11:02 |
| steeve_ | do you know how can i make [, ], { and } on a Macbook keyboard on Ubuntu ? | 11:02 |

| _Linuxx_ | deadlyninja: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-August/120744.html | 11:03 |
| oCean_ | deadlyninja: well, some software needs a fqdn. The 127.0.1.1 is just a way to do that, but not a requirement. If you have static ip, use that. Read here on the 127.0.1.1 thing: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/what-does-127.0.1.1-mean-623421/ | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyninja: you will need to have a line like that for each system you own, then the resolve for centauri to be the same in each system EXCEPT centauri | 11:03 |
| uncle_ben | oCean_: that did it...thx! | 11:04 |
| georgeaf | magnetron: and when i modify defaults.list, do i have to restart gnome fully ? or there's a faster way to refresh nautilus | 11:04 |
| steeve_ | theCarpenter: how do you do ? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyninja: centauri will be able to reference itself via 127.0.0.1 so will not need to know the ip on the interface | 11:04 |

| ActionParsnip | Silkjc: use mem=2048 | 12:15 |
| ziroday | boingboing: System > Preferences > Network Proxy? | 12:15 |
| Silkjc | ActionParsnip: I tried mem=2000M earlier and it seemed to crash X on boot | 12:15 |
| jrib | macvr: copy both directories somewhere and play :) | 12:15 |
| macvr | jrib: that sound fun!!! ok... will try..thanx | 12:16 |
| myildirim | test | 12:16 |
| boingboing | I did that already but it didn't work. :( | 12:16 |
| Q-FUNK | howdy! changing GNOME theme hasn't worked properly on this laptop since Intrepid, without or without compiz. GTK2 colors are not applied and window themes change bitmaps but not colors. any idea on how to debug this? | 12:16 |
| dixon2081 | i have another question how would i unlock the right click option on the desktop of KDE 4.1 and also unlock all of the widgits on the taskbar? | 12:16 |
| boingboing | ziroday, do you think there is a problem with my drivers? | 12:16 |
| yao_ziyuan | what's the name of that crash report tool? | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Silkjc: did you run: sudo update-grub after yu editted the file? | 12:16 |
| boingboing | I'm using an Acer Aspire 5570ANWXCi. | 12:16 |
| vallhalla811 | !cloud | 12:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cloud | 12:17 |
| ziroday | boingboing: it shouldn't be? Perhaps its your settings? Can you verify the proxy is setup correctly? | 12:17 |
| terrymulv | is trying to get broadband 3g modem working.. am having a problem installing a package.. | 12:17 |
| jrib | yao_ziyuan: apport? | 12:17 |
| Silkjc | ActionParsnip: Ah no, I take it I should? | 12:17 |
| boingboing | ziroday, How do I verify if the proxy is set up correctly? | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Silkjc: yes | 12:17 |
| ziroday | boingboing: is it your proxy? | 12:17 |
| yao_ziyuan | jrib: ok | 12:17 |
| Silkjc | ActionParsnip: Ty will try | 12:17 |
| boingboing | ziroday: Yes. Our school provided the proxy so I guess it's already okay. | 12:18 |
| yao_ziyuan | i'm removing apport. it only leaks my password... | 12:18 |
| yao_ziyuan | or clipboard or other sensitive data | 12:18 |
| boingboing | ziroday: How do I know if my wifi card is using the correct driver? How do I detect what my wifi card is? Thanks. | 12:18 |
| ziroday | boingboing: right, its probably best you ask them how to configure it. You might also want to try the autodetect proxy settings in firefox | 12:18 |
| ziroday | boingboing: if your wireless card is inbuilt you can check with lspci | 12:19 |
| gs94 | hey guys, is there a way to register an extension in an EXISTING mime type ? | 12:19 |
| ziroday | gs94: you mean change a mimetype? | 12:19 |
| gs94 | ziroday: you can say that, i want to put a 'type' tag in a mime xml file but it gets deleted by update-mime-database | 12:20 |
| gs94 | ziroday: it's for mht files, MIME html | 12:20 |
| ziroday | gs94: ah not familiar with that sorry. | 12:20 |
| boingboing | ziroday: I just ran "lspci" on the terminal and here's a snippet of the output: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02). | 12:20 |

| ziroday | boingboing: yep thats your wireless card, the intel drivers for it should be fine | 12:21 |

| boingboing | ziroday: So I don't have to worry about the drivers, then. I followed all the directions provided by our school (e.g., set to DHCP, etc) but I couldn't connect through wifi. :( | 12:22 |
| ziroday | boingboing: I would strongly recommend asking them, but the drivers for your card should not be a worry. | 12:23 |
| dixon2081 | cant get the right click option to work not even on the desktop O.o | 12:23 |

| macvr | jrib: i tried with both folders for the menu restore... .config/menus deletion did the trick...all menus restored but when i delete the local/share/applications it deletes a lot of the menu items! why is that? is that since they are not the default in 8.10? but where used default in 8.04? any ideas? | 12:28 |
| Silkjc | ActionParsnip: I'd say it's intentionally locked down (Sony vaio) x.x | 12:28 |

| x4d | rmrfslash: I just didn't have the patience to start fixing things | 13:11 |
| rmrfslash | Why do people even deal w/ KDE? From my experience, it's never been "stable" | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | perlmonkey, if it works.. leave it alone.. why do you 'need' to upgrade? | 13:11 |
| rmrfslash | My buddy is a die-hard KDE fan | 13:12 |
| rmrfslash | got me to convert for a little while | 13:12 |

| yow|x2 | Highbeamer-6- - make sure the bios doesnt antivirus detection enabled | 13:12 |
| x4d | rmrfslash: but I tried, linux mint kde 6 rc1, opensuse 11.1 kde 4.2, fedora kde 4.2 also | 13:12 |
| Highbeamer-6- | @ dr_willis ) thumbdrive = harddrive? i´m german, can´t understand everything ;) | 13:12 |
| rmrfslash | I agree KDE is nicer looking w/ "glass-like" effects and stuff | 13:12 |

| Dr_willis | Highbeamer-6-, Thumbdrive - ya know ya got 4 fingers and a thumb. :) a little usb hard drive about the size of your thumb. | 13:13 |

| Highbeamer-6- | aah ok thanks | 13:13 |

| scizzo- | anyone knows a good chm or pdf terminal/console viewer? if such a thing exists? | 13:13 |

| erUSUL | scizzo-: there is a pdf2txt then you can pipe that to "less" | 13:14 |

| Errietta | cuz i have an idiot | 13:27 |
| Errietta | saying the africans did | 13:27 |

| anahata | i have a serious problem | 13:45 |
| putri | :( sob lag... brb | 13:45 |
| anahata | i made an ubuntu cd yesterday, put it in, and now my computer won't boot at all, even when i tried to change the boot order, it says it can't find a fat, and it won't even let me into the bios | 13:46 |
| dunkyp | it wont let you into the bios?? | 13:46 |
| funkyHat | hi erictus_1 | 13:46 |
| arquebus | dunkyp- you could try and #regexp | 13:46 |
| dunkyp | cheers | 13:46 |
| Dreamglider | anahata: reset the bios | 13:46 |
| anahata | dunkyp: no, it just keeps saying "drive not ready, insert boot diskette in a:, press any key when ready" | 13:46 |
| anahata | dreamglider: ok, i will look for the jumper then | 13:47 |
| anahata | (and i already put a boot disk in a: and it didn't work) | 13:47 |
| Dreamglider | anahata: are u sure you cant access the bios ? | 13:48 |
| Dr_willis | sounds like hd failure, or other harwaare issue to me... | 13:48 |
| Dr_willis | or perhaps the keyboard isent plugged in allt eh way so the get-to-bios-key isent working | 13:49 |
| Dreamglider | yea | 13:49 |
| beep | ICQ verlangt mal wieder eine neue Pidgin-Version, was ist zu tun ? | 13:49 |
| anahata | dreamglider: yeah when i press F1, it goes to the same "drive not ready" msg.. and i already checked the keyboard connection | 13:49 |
| Dreamglider | anahata: are you pressing the right key to get into bios ? | 13:50 |
| Vigo | To access the BIOS, boot, hold Delete key down, or something, delete key is kinda universal. | 13:50 |
| Dr_willis | Vigo, it is? thats news to me.. ive never seen 4 systems that use the same key.. :) | 13:50 |
| * Dr_willis wishes the MB/bios makers would agree to some standard/common practice | 13:51 | |
| Frantic | guys, can anyone tell me why fsck.ext4 -n finds errors but fsck.ext4 with -a or -r wont find them? (or if there's a ext4 support channel or something)? :) | 13:51 |
| anahata | dreamglider: yes, F1 | 13:51 |
| Vigo | Dr_willis: It is either F1-or Delete, delete is kinda universal on many boards. | 13:52 |
| Dreamglider | anahata: have you been inside the pc dooing stuff ? | 13:52 |
| Dr_willis | kinda universal? :) | 13:52 |
| anahata | dreamglider: no | 13:53 |
| Vigo | I read it on computerhope,com | 13:53 |
| Dr_willis | viga most of the machines i got seem to use F12 or backspace then they like to use F9, F10 and F11 to get to the 'boot what disk' menu.. whichis what REALLY annoys me. :) | 13:53 |
| anahata | dreamglider: i made the ubuntu cd yesterday - 8.10 desktop i386 install disk, it passed md5, i was trying to reboot on my 98se system to check the cd from ubuntu menu, the ubuntu menu was temporarily working within windows asking if i wanted to install windows, but i always clicked cancel | 13:53 |
| MrSunshine_ | sigh, the g++ command, what package does that come from ? :/ | 13:53 |
| anahata | dreamglider: and then when i tried to reboot i got the same error as now, then i tried to change the boot order since i realized hdd was before cdrom, so i did that and it still kept asking for a floppy | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | anahata, why not disable the floppy in the bios? | 13:54 |
| enzotib_ | !g++ | MrSunshine_ | 13:54 |
| Dreamglider | Uhm can you boot the CD ? | 13:54 |
| ubottu | MrSunshine_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 13:54 |
| Dreamglider | anahata: Uhm can you boot the CD ? | 13:54 |
| amgarching | hi, what is the proper way to set the workstation "hostname" based on the DHCP response in Ubuntu? | 13:54 |
| anahata | dreamglider: so i, always leaving floppy first in case of emergency, flipped the drive order around once or twice, no luck, i dont even remember the order now, probably cd then hdd, but it just wont do anything now, and 2 beeps on boot | 13:55 |
| anahata | dreamglider: no cd will boot at all, i even just tried my 5.10 ubuntu livecd, same error | 13:55 |
| anahata | dreamglider: so i'm looking up instructions on how to reset the bios jumper | 13:55 |
| hollywoodb | anahata: typically your system/motherboard manufacturer will provide info on what the beep codes mean, usually via the support section of their website | 13:56 |
| anahata | hollywoodb: ok, thanks, it's hard to think when i'm worried my drive will never boot again (and all that data lost since i hadnt backed up yet) | 13:56 |
| Dreamglider | anahata: that's usualy no problem download the manual, or just look at the mobo it should be printed on the mobo "sometimes" near the backup battery | 13:57 |
| m3gaman | anahata, this might help not sure - http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm | 13:57 |
| n8tuserf | amgarching-> /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf look there for setting hostname | 13:58 |
| Vigo | BIOS/helps<>http://www.computerhope.com/help/bios.htm | 13:58 |
| hollywoodb | anahata: if you are only getting two beeps and no video, make sure both the ram and vidcard are seated properly. even if the drives aren't set up properly you should still see the initial POST/BIOS screens | 13:58 |

| oCean_ | eseven73: well, the 'downloading' *only* happens when apache does not know how to interpret the .php file. Remember, that is not on the client side (browser) but the server side (apache). Enabling this module will indeed *run* php and not offer the file for download | 15:01 |

| buckethed | i installed ubuntu server 8.10, then sudo apt-get install xorg kde-core. then i ran startx, but then when i tried to open K > Computer > Home, it asks me what i want to open it with. am i missing a package to get a file explorer? | 15:02 |

| LOVELINUX | Hi are there somone there knows why my Wi-Fi doesnt react att all when i click on it ? | 15:03 |
| angsthas3 | which line? | 15:04 |
| AngryElf | so, I have this plugin for gedit, snapopen, that searches the current file tree by regex and lets me choose from a list --- what is there that's equivolent in vim? | 15:04 |
| Dr_willis | angsthas3, export PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$' | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | LOVELINUX: did you install the windows drivers in ndiswrapper? | 15:05 |
| buckethed | ahh maybe i want konqueror | 15:05 |
| LOVELINUX | ActionParsnip1: No, cause my Wi-Fi doesnt react at all when i click on it .. so if that doesnt work, then there no need to install the other thing .. | 15:06 |
| angsthas3 | but the \W is not clarified with /media/Zeugz/Basic/ | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | LOVELINUX: it wont until you install the driver. If you click on something without a driver, how does the OS know how to bring it up | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | LOVELINUX: the system doesnt know how to communicate with the device yet until you driver it, ndiswrapper will give that link | 15:07 |
| Dr_willis | angsthas3, that made no sence.. every time you do a command the PS1 gets 'reevaluated' and the prompt changes based on what your current directory is. | 15:07 |

| Dr_willis | <angsthas3> if you are wanting to see the Ugly 'full' path in the prompt you use PS1='[\u@\h \w]\$ ' Note the LOWER CASE w vs the UPPER case W. | 15:12 |
| LOVELINUX | ActionParsnip1: i really hope so, i would be so glad if this could work, really. | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rio: i know of a fix but if you try and upgrade to jaunty it can break things so you will need to REMEMBER to uninstall the app as it will cripple dependancies when you upgrade | 15:12 |
| rio | ActionParsnip1: i will not upgrade my distribution just because icq stops working | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rio: if you can wait then hold off and the new version will be in jaunty when it is officially released, there are debs for interpid but they arent official | 15:13 |
| rio | those kind of things are supposed to be backported imho | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rio: i'm not saying that. I'm saying there are debs of the new pidgin version which i have seen make icq work. if you do decide to upgrade you MUST remove pidgin or it will fail | 15:13 |

| thatryan | BayHakim: is there an option in the install to format that I missed initially? or should I just pop in gparted or something? | 15:55 |

| nascentmind | hi. I typed man fread and i am not getting any man page.. what packages do i have to install? | 15:58 |
| Pici | nascentmind: manpages-dev likely | 15:58 |

| Lartza_ | I didn't remove, but I can handle some minor problems | 16:00 |
| quibbler | Lartza_: getdeb suggests that. | 16:00 |
| Lartza_ | :D | 16:00 |
| WFS | otherwise just wait? | 16:00 |
| Lartza_ | Also I think you don't suggest installing Debian deb's but I do that too :P | 16:00 |
| Lartza_ | WFS: Compile source | 16:01 |
| thatryan | are the swap and main partitions same format? | 16:01 |

| catch-33 | ArcSighter: sorry, but haven't got enough time to go through a whole bunch of logs... | 16:42 |
| Nalfeshnee | Well, I booted up into the ubuntu installer, ran the installer, it froze up.. so I ran in verbose mode.. and I was wondering if there was a way to get a log from the install?... | 16:42 |
| ArcSighter | catch-33: I talked about some how relevant logs | 16:42 |
| ArcSighter | catch-33: not all of them, just suspicious | 16:42 |
| pascal__ | is it possible to install ubuntu to many computers within the same network using one of them as a target for booting?please tell me how? | 16:42 |
| HappyHater | ok, so its apparently been removed, so what, if anything is the replacement for 'displayconfig-gtk'? | 16:43 |
| catch-33 | ArcSighter: can you do a "free -m" ? | 16:43 |
| LjL | ArcSighter: well, i'd like to see the 1gb top (and iotop, too), because in any case, doing it on a 200mb RAM machine impacts the results too badly for me to guess anything | 16:43 |
| dawnonye | wine? | 16:43 |

| LjL | ArcSighter: ok, can you at least reproduce it without firefox and pidgin running? (and whatever is using gstreamer) | 16:44 |

| np4melol | Can anybody help me installing ndiswrapper please | 16:45 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | newb: It depends on what you plan to use it for. If you want to make sure everything will work, your best bet is (for now) Adobe. If you prefer Open Source Software, and only want to use youtube or something, then chances are, you can use open source ones :) | 16:46 |
| LjL | visf: i'll have to download it again, my browser messed the download up. should be much faster this time though, as i'm, err, hogging the server | 16:46 |

| ikonia | kadd: in sane environment | 17:13 |
| LjL | MeI: no, no need. just try using it as a backup. namely, do this: sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status-backup ; sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status | 17:13 |

| MeI | ljl, let me try | 17:13 |
| ikonia | PerryArmstrong: do you see it in system->administration-> printing menu? | 17:14 |
| Lake_ | however, when I try to mount it, it exclaims "The volume uses the a file system which is not supported by your system." | 17:14 |
| MeI | ljl, i think it worked | 17:14 |
| MeI | ljl, let me check | 17:14 |
| LjL | MeI: that's good, though i really recommend you run other stuff now to check that your system is mostly in a consistent state | 17:14 |

| ikonia | kadd: clean up your repo/install - it's got too much conflict | 17:16 |
| LjL | ArcSighter: i'd like to see ikonia's opinion about this, could you summarize and give the pastes again | 17:16 |

| MeI | ljl, no i will install now | 17:17 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: Ok here's the thing, let's assume that 2 machines worked well with hardy, because they did. When using intrepid or jaunty on those machines I got terrible slowdowns and high loadavgs | 17:17 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: ok, nice summary , is the load average from start ? or do you need to do something ? are these clean installs or upgrades ? | 17:18 |
| MeI | ljl, ok now it is downloading and its going to take 16 minutes | 17:18 |
| josesito | help! my sound isn't working, I can't find a solution! | 17:18 |
| LjL | MeI: you can't install it if apt doesn't work ;) | 17:18 |
| MeI | ljl, what is it we did cp and paste | 17:18 |
| MeI | ljl, hmm | 17:18 |
| PerryArmstrong | ikonia; any idea | 17:19 |
| LjL | MeI: the "database" (it's not really a database, just a text file, but) that contains the list of installed packages on the system | 17:19 |
| ikonia | PerryArmstrong: I'm just jugglging a bit at the moment, I'll be with you ASAP | 17:19 |
| josesito | can someone help me? | 17:19 |
| LjL | MeI: it got corrupted, so we restored it from a backup (which is done automatically) | 17:19 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: in the case of intrepid they were cleans, jaunty is upgraded, and no it's not from start, when I do daily tasks such as browsing, im, mail, etc, gets a moment where mouse freeze and I cant work, checking top has given me loadavgs over 8 and iotop now is 3 mb | 17:19 |
| andreas__ | i need help with squirrelmail, any kind to help?? | 17:19 |
| PerryArmstrong | ikonia; ASAP?? | 17:19 |

| PerryArmstrong | ikonia; ohh thank you | 17:19 |
| buckethed | andreas, try #squirrelmail | 17:19 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: one quick question, what video card is in these machines ? | 17:19 |
| o0Chris0o | hey guys, I have a lil issue, I installed a game "Urban Terror" when I change my resolution to 1920x1080, I lose my mouse..I can't use my mouse until I close out the game, any ideas? | 17:19 |
| andreas__ | buckethed: thx | 17:20 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: on board video on one, and ati on the other | 17:20 |
| Gnutoo | hello, I've the last stable ubuntu(not LTS) and the 3d still doesn't work, but I have "direct rendering: Yes" I've a i810 and I use the "intel" driver...what should I do? it doesn't work either at root...as doesn't work I mean less than 1fps in supertux... | 17:20 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: is the onboard ati too ? | 17:20 |
| josesito | how can i disable pulseaudio server? | 17:20 |
| LjL | MeI: let's see if apt finishes its job now, first | 17:20 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: no, hold a second | 17:20 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: just nice to get a ful picture | 17:20 |
| MeI | ljl, ok we wait, thanks! | 17:21 |
| LjL | ArcSighter: keep in mind we really real with hardy and intrepid here, jaunty might cause nasal daemons for all we know | 17:21 |
| LjL | MeI: can you pastebin the output it gave so far, so i can start getting an idea? | 17:21 |
| ArcSighter | LjL: ok I'll talk about intrepid only, I just came from there | 17:21 |
| bigrigger | josesito: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop from the terminal. | 17:22 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: onboard intel | 17:22 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: mega, thank you, and how much ram in each ? | 17:22 |
| bigrigger | josesito: disabling is a bit more complicated and somewhat risky. | 17:22 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: here, 256, there (on the onboard video) 512 | 17:23 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: and yes I know little ram, but hardy worked pretty well, even without restricted video drivers | 17:23 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: sorry, I meant how much ram - not on board video ram | 17:23 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: I just gave you RAM | 17:23 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: ahh that was the ram | 17:23 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: which one of the machines has the ati card (the 256 or the 512) | 17:24 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: yes, and as just said, hardy no probs, then intrepid and jaunty freeze | 17:24 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: the 512 | 17:24 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: perfect, got a clear picture now | 17:24 |
| abyss | re;) | 17:24 |
| ArcSighter | sorry, | 17:24 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: I assume you've got desktop effects turned off on both | 17:24 |
| ArcSighter | the ati card is at the 256 mb ram | 17:24 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: ok | 17:24 |

| ikonia | ArcSighter: ok - so lets work on the other then | 17:27 |
| MeI1 | ljl, i gotdisconnected | 17:27 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: I can install intrepid if you like, but well, time consuming | 17:27 |
| Cypher306 | I mean, if I already have one wubi instance installed, can I run it again and install a third boot option? | 17:27 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: no no, we'll work with the other | 17:27 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: sure? ok | 17:27 |
| LjL | MeI1: ok, i asked you if you can paste the output so far | 17:28 |
| MeI1 | ljl, i am doing it on gnome, not in terminal :( | 17:28 |

| kneeki | Anyone use Synergy with Ubuntu 9.04? | 17:29 |

| MeI1 | ljl 28 s left | 17:29 |

| kneeki | Pici: Thanks =) | 17:30 |
| LjL | MeI1: next time use apt-get from a terminal, not Synaptic from GNOME, please | 17:30 |
| LjL | MeI1: less surprises for me and easier to paste | 17:30 |
| MeI1 | ljl will do | 17:30 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: clean bootup you mean disabling startup services? | 17:30 |

| Narcissus | Viata: architecture i686->i686, and between my desktop and my laptop, both running linux | 17:36 |
| Cox | Ndiswrapper has a program for it, windows wireless network software help, where u can use .inf file, and it sais invalid driver, whereas it's 100% sure the correct file | 17:36 |

| thiebaude1 | HIjustme: no | 17:37 |
| Mrminist | fags | 17:37 |
| Narcissus | Viata: but, from what I hear, you don't necessarily need to use a crossover cable | 17:37 |
| Viata | narcissus: you should be able to assign each machine a private IP and then ping the other one. did that not work? | 17:37 |
| LjL | MeI1: ok let's try fixing that annoying file error | 17:38 |
| HIjustme | ikonia: damn, i just upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and a game i play is all wierd | 17:38 |
| Viata | narcissus: some NIC's are smart and don't require one, but in general, directly connecting like devices (eg. PC to PC) requires a crossover cable. unless you go through a switch, that is | 17:38 |
| LjL | MeI1: sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/libxine1-misc-plugins*.list | 17:38 |
| LjL | MeI1: you should see a list of files in the editor, confirm that please | 17:38 |

| amgarching | Ok, I solved DHCP problem. The DHCP server didnt derive the hostname from the section name as advertized in docs, one needs to explicitly tell the server: host HOSTNAME { fixed-address HOSTNAME; option host-name "HOSTNAME"; ddns-hostname "HOSTNAME"; ... }. Dont ask me why it worked with SuSE. | 17:40 |
| sipior | rickard: try a bunch, see what you like. | 17:40 |

| I2 | hi guys....how can i convert string "243,33" in the float value 243,33??? | 17:45 |
| I2 | in a bash script? | 17:45 |
| === sstringham is now known as sstringham_lunch | ||
| Seveas | I2, bash doesn't care about strings or floats. | 17:45 |
| LjL | MeI1: use http://paste.ubuntu.com/129430/plain/ for that file | 17:45 |
| MeI1 | ljl, should i come back? | 17:45 |
| LjL | MeI1: ensure that you leave an empty line at the end (but NOT at the beginning) | 17:45 |
| I2 | and so how can i addition ??? | 17:46 |
| KDB9000 | is it possible to configure ubuntu to not mount or show a drive that is plugged into USB? | 17:46 |
| I2 | if i have "234,44" and "345,22" | 17:46 |
| MeI1 | ljl empty line? | 17:46 |
| MeI1 | ljl where do i put this file at? | 17:46 |
| Seveas | I2 $(( 234.44 + 345.22 )) | 17:46 |
| LjL | MeI1: yeah just hit Enter after the last line | 17:46 |
| tillux | Seveas: small -> less than 256mb ;D | 17:46 |
| Kriss3d | uhmm im running a cosumized version of ubuntu which only starts to a login screen in textmode (runlevel 2 i presume) how would i make KDE start up and use its login screen ? | 17:46 |
| Crooper | is there syntax highlighting for nano? | 17:46 |
| LjL | MeI1: in your editor. instead of what you had in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libxinewhatever | 17:46 |
| Seveas | Kriss3d, install kde and kdm | 17:46 |
| I2 | but i have two variables..... a="23,3" b="45,2" | 17:46 |
| Seveas | I2 bash uses american notation for decimals. Use a . instead of a , | 17:47 |
| LjL | MeI1: you might prefer to close nano and use the graphical editor with "gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/libxine1-misc-plugins*.list" instead | 17:47 |
| MeI1 | ljl instead of this file | 17:47 |
| MeI1 | ljl /var/lib/dpkg/info/libxine1-misc-plugins.list | 17:47 |
| Pici | Crooper: Yes, there is. I wrote a post about this a bit ago: http://nullcortex.com/2008/07/nano-nano/ | 17:47 |
| MeI1 | ljl ok, trying sec pls | 17:47 |
| Kriss3d | Seveas, kde is installed.. tried installing kdm once.. it made me have to reinstall the entire ubuntu version.. id like not to do that again | 17:47 |
| LjL | MeI1: yes | 17:47 |
| Seveas | then do: $(( $a + $b )) | 17:47 |
| I2 | ok but how can i make addition? | 17:47 |
| Seveas | Kriss3d, kdm is the kde login window.... | 17:48 |
| I2 | between a="4.6" b="2.3" | 17:48 |
| Seveas | I2, I just said how to do that | 17:48 |
| Seveas | <Seveas> then do: $(( $a + $b )) | 17:48 |
| Kriss3d | Seveas, hmm ill just see if its there | 17:48 |
| LjL | Seveas: i'm not sure bash will add decimal numbers anyway...? | 17:49 |
| Seveas | LjL, hmm, good call | 17:49 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129433/ | 17:49 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: ok | 17:49 |
| Seveas | LjL, you're right. Time to shell out to bc | 17:49 |
| tyler_d | trying to figure out what packages (paths) need to be added to get an older version of vpnc through synaptec?? | 17:49 |
| tyler_d | ie. echo "http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz" >> /etc/apt/sources.list however this fails as the address doesn't exist | 17:50 |
| Crooper | thnx Pici | 17:50 |
| MeI1 | ljl ok | 17:50 |
| LjL | MeI1: you mean you're done? | 17:51 |
| I2 | doesn't work | 17:51 |
| sinbox | anyone can help me with forcing my screen resolution as my KVM is not passing the monitor's EDID correctly | 17:51 |
| I2 | it says "command not found" | 17:51 |
| I2 | so how can i do that??? | 17:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | tyler_d, do you have the DEB file? couldn't you install it from command line? or is there a need to use synaptec? | 17:51 |
| MeI1 | ljl yes i put what u posted instead of old file | 17:51 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: just looking over it | 17:51 |
| LjL | MeI1: ok, now try again installing smartmontools | 17:51 |
| Seveas | I2: a=1.2 b=3.4; echo $(echo $a + $b | bc -l) | 17:51 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: I assumed that, thanks | 17:51 |
| Seveas | a bit convoluted, but bash doesn't do decimals | 17:52 |
| I2 | no, i have to string | 17:52 |
| tyler_d | ZykoticK9: not really a need, however couldn't find the older deb package -- hoping to find something around 0.4 or possibly older | 17:52 |
| I2 | i take thees with a command return | 17:52 |
| MeI1 | ljl ok | 17:52 |
| tyler_d | ZykoticK9: this is re: cisco vpn failure to keep a connection over 5 minutes | 17:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | tyler_d, do you have the DEB your looking for | 17:52 |
| sipior | I2: i think this is the point where you ask yourself: "is bash really the best tool for this job?" :-) | 17:52 |
| MeI1 | ljl http://paste.ubuntu.com/129434/ | 17:53 |
| I2 | i have to make a script for automatize various banchmark how can i do that without bash???? | 17:53 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: ok can you please do the same again but open a few apps, the ones that make it slow down please. | 17:53 |
| tyler_d | ZykoticK9: only able to find the c for the version I wanted... compiled using make && make install... however don't know where the specific file should g | 17:53 |
| tyler_d | o | 17:53 |
| sipior | I2: python, perl, a dozen others | 17:53 |
| LjL | MeI1: ok, do what it says (with sudo) | 17:53 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: so we can see the same vmstate output but while it's having a problem | 17:53 |
| qcjn | does anyone knows of a good tutorial for compiling that says more then (./configure, make, make install) an howto ? | 17:53 |
| tyler_d | ZykoticK9: as well I could add it to the path.. but I am trying to keep this extremely simple | 17:54 |
| MeI1 | ljl i did | 17:54 |
| I2 | which is the simple to learn???? | 17:54 |
| vieq | hi all, is there any thing else like aptoncd? | 17:54 |
| MeI1 | ljl then i tried to do apt install for smartmontools | 17:54 |
| sipior | I2: i like python, but none of them are terribly hard to learn | 17:54 |
| MeI1 | ljl got another error | 17:54 |
| I2 | but with phyton can i call bash command???? | 17:54 |
| MeI1 | ljl http://paste.ubuntu.com/129435/ | 17:54 |
| unop | I2, why doesn't bash it for you? because it does the job. | 17:54 |
| sipior | I2: sure | 17:55 |
| unop | I2, not all bash commands are accessible through another scripting language.. | 17:55 |
| LjL | MeI1: ok, this time i think there is one line too much in that libxine list file =) open it again with gedit, as before, select it all (with ctrl+a), and pastebin its contents again | 17:55 |
| I2 | if unop is right i have to use bash | 17:56 |
| MeI1 | ljl ok | 17:56 |
| sipior | unop: I2 all scripting languages have mechanisms to run shell commands, have no fear. | 17:56 |
| ljuwaidah | hi | 17:56 |
| ljuwaidah | quick question | 17:56 |
| === gentagelse is now known as gentagelse|away | ||
| sipior | unop: I2 well, system commands in general, really | 17:56 |
| ljuwaidah | will ubuntu support fingerprint authentication in 9.04? | 17:56 |
| unop | sipior, bash commands aren't necessarily shell commands - noting the difference. | 17:56 |

| tyler_d | ZykoticK9: found 0.3.3 from debian.org.... trying it now... ty for your help | 17:57 |
| sipior | unop: you can happily spawn a shell and run whatever bash commands you like | 17:57 |
| I2 | so with phyton can i redirect output to file or call bash command etc etc?? | 17:57 |
| sipior | I2: yep | 17:57 |
| unop | sipior, sure, but you might as well use bash for the thing then. | 17:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | tyler_d, I don't think I was any help at all :) good luck. | 17:57 |

| ZykoticK9 | hareldvd, i remember the horrors of automaount i had back in the day under Gentoo, eventually just manually mounted everything. Under Ubuntu haven't had any problems... | 18:20 |
| zimbres | sipior, since there was configure script, I think it is using gcc. | 18:20 |
| Scunizi | thatryan: that's typical for most OS's.. 20gigs does not equal 20 gigs formatted | 18:20 |
| thatryan | then how do you know how to size things? | 18:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | thatryan, a 20GB hd should NOT be causing this problem, that's not a particularly large drive by todays standards. | 18:21 |
| sipior | zimbres: those two things are more or less orthogonal. make should have printed the compilation lines to the terminal: check the compilation immediately preceding the error. | 18:21 |

| n8tuserf | ghostlines-> btw, after you disabled those GSAPI settings, you did restart sshd yes? | 18:56 |
| Sal | the program need admin privilegies to run | 18:56 |
| Incarus | Sal, you have to use terminal | 18:56 |
| Sal | no other way? | 18:56 |
| crdlb | Sal: if the .run doesn't have a builtin GUI, like the loki installer used by many games, then iit has to be run in a terminal | 18:56 |
| Incarus | Sal, hm, you can try the rundialog | 18:56 |
| Incarus | Sal, with sudo | 18:56 |
| amgarching | fcntl64(3, F_SETLK64, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=1073741824, len=1}, 0xbfdc09d4) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) | 18:57 |
| amgarching | how do I find who is holding the lock? | 18:57 |
| crdlb | Sal: what exactly are you installing anyway? | 18:57 |

| Incarus | Sal, run the "run dialog" and rune the file with "sudo ./FILE" or something | 18:58 |
| timur | jo moin | 18:58 |
| timur | waz up | 18:58 |
| Sal | that means manually? | 18:58 |
| Sal | where's the run dialog? | 18:58 |
| crdlb | you really _want_ to see the output though | 18:58 |
| crdlb | if you use the run dialog, you won't know if it worked | 18:58 |
| Incarus | Sal, dont know, ctrl+f2 | 18:58 |
| crdlb | if it asks any questions, it'll just stop right there | 18:58 |
| Incarus | crdlb, hm | 18:59 |
| Incarus | crdlb, right | 18:59 |
| Incarus | Sal, use the terminal | 18:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | Sal, the vbox additions are a command line install anyways, best get use to doing somethings from command line (takes a little getting use to but it's worth it) | 18:59 |

| bebi | oh thank's! | 19:00 |
| soppman | Incarus: yes | 19:00 |

| jay_isr | hahah dave chapelle | 19:01 |
| Krissed | Incarus, then how else would i navigate ? i used vi way back in redhat 8.0 and that seemed to work just fine | 19:01 |
| Sal | anyway, thanks | 19:01 |
| Incarus | soppman, you can download this: http://www.rloe.com/ken/xpquick.zip then put it on a floppy and start from floppy and run "fixmbr" | 19:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | Krissed, Incarus is right, i had the same problem until I installed vim "sudo apt-get install vim" and the arrow problem is solved :) | 19:02 |
| Incarus | Krissed, did you tried vim? | 19:02 |
| Krissed | yeah vim works.. but what would make vi work the way its supposed to with arrow keys actually navigating ? | 19:02 |
| bebi | :S it seems that nobody is active on ubuntu-es | 19:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | Krissed, think of vim as vi - it's just the vi-lite that comes with Ubuntu that's crappy. | 19:03 |
| Krissed | ah so its a ubuntu version that blows.. makes sense | 19:03 |
| stabler | I need some help with 1080p (H264) playback in hardy | 19:03 |

| stabler | im getting choppy playback and cpu is pegging out | 19:04 |
| Incarus | stabler, is direct rendering = yes? | 19:04 |
| Krissed | Pici, i got vim and kate so im good.. im just having a bit problems with kdm i wanted to edit some configs.. aparently it wont let me log in as root via the gui login at kdm | 19:04 |

| anahata | lesson: never ever play around with ubuntu cd's if the machine on which you are playing does not have a backup made | 19:05 |
| bebi | but the result of iwconfig is always this: | 19:05 |
| Pici | Krissed: Correct. Nor should you be logging in as root at all. | 19:05 |
| Pici | !sudo | Krissed | 19:05 |
| ubottu | Krissed: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 19:05 |
| anahata | maybe this happened b/c it's an old machine | 19:05 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:05 |
| Krissed | Pici, i know sudo.. its just that my costumized version of ubuntu actually requires me to be logged in as root | 19:06 |
| Incarus | bebi -> <<!>> | 19:06 |
| Incarus | Krissed, su | 19:06 |
| stabler | Incarus: yes its turned on | 19:06 |
| tonyyarusso | Krissed: Then it's customized wrong. | 19:06 |
| bebi | that was there before i paste xD | 19:06 |
| Incarus | stabler, you could run vlc and paste the output, and paste xorg.0.log, but i have to go now | 19:07 |
| Incarus | bye | 19:07 |
| pmcclelland | I"m getting this error when transferring large files to a cifs share. cifs: mount error 12 = Cannot allocate memory. I have looked all over the place for a reason why this is happening. The shares are Windows Vista shares but I haven't found anywhere that mention incompatibility issues with Vista. | 19:07 |
| Krissed | tonyyarusso, nono.. i got reasons for loggin in as root.. basicly its the only way.. otherwise id have to type passwords and sudo all the time | 19:07 |
| skyhate1 | ok ^^, i have compil an app and when the compilation is finish i got two exécutable file but i don't know how to open it . | 19:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | Incarus, what version of Ubuntu is stabler using? if it's 8.10 then direct rendering is always YES (which doesn't really make any sense to me, would be nice to know if it's hardware or software rendering somehow) | 19:07 |
| rdz | hi all. is it possible to change the resolution of all the pre-Xorg displays and the tty terminal? currently, when not running an X server, everything is 640x480 or so.. is that defined by the BIOS? | 19:07 |
| Incarus | skyhate1, "./FILE" | 19:07 |
| tonyyarusso | Krissed: Typing passwords is the right way. Being insecure because you're lazy is the wrong way. | 19:07 |
| skyhate1 | ./File ? | 19:07 |
| wendel | (V) | 19:07 |
| bebi | I have another computer, and the iwconfig is normal | 19:07 |
| skyhate1 | i don't understand | 19:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | rdz, actually i think that can be set in Grub somehow, i'm not sure though | 19:08 |
| Incarus | ZykoticK9, no, direct rendering is not always yes!? | 19:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | Incarus, in 8.10? | 19:08 |
| Incarus | ZykoticK9, yes | 19:08 |
| Krissed | tonyyarusso, its not a matter of being lazy here.. though id actually hate to having to type 15+ character password every other line i do.. and like i said.. its not a matter of being lazy.. i just want root to be enabled in kdm | 19:08 |
| skyhate1 | in comand line ? | 19:08 |
| Incarus | ZykoticK9, dri is not the same as hardware rendering | 19:08 |
| rdz | ZykoticK9, cool to know (if it works...) i'll do some more research then.. thanks for the hint | 19:09 |
| crdlb | Incarus: any time you use a mesa-based driver, if there is no 3d acceleration, the software rasterizer kicks in and gives fake direct rendering | 19:09 |
| Incarus | ZykoticK9, dri = yes dont mean that you've got hardware rendering | 19:09 |
| tonyyarusso | Krissed: how is that not lazy? What are you doing that *requires* the entire KDE session running as root? | 19:09 |
| crdlb | so that test is unfortunately useless now | 19:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | Incarus, i'm actually repeating what someone else in the channel told me the other day - it didn't make much sense to me... | 19:09 |
| Incarus | crdlb, yes, look at my last message | 19:09 |
| Incarus | ZykoticK9, hm | 19:09 |
| Incarus | crdlib, yes, he should also paste the xorg.0.log | 19:10 |
| skyhate1 | Incarus ; you wan to know what is the file ? | 19:10 |
| Krissed | tonyyarusso, secutity work actually.. as much as i know everyone here wants me to log on as a regular user thats not much of an option for now at least.. im still seeking to have kdm letting me logging in as root | 19:10 |
| crdlb | Incarus: the only easy test now is 'glxinfo | grep -i software', if that returns Software Rasterizer, then he's using NV | 19:10 |
| atrius | hello everyone | 19:10 |
| divXjunky | hey ppl! anybody in here who has experience with irssi + fserve.pl script?? I got it pretty much set up, but the server doesn't respond to ' !list' command. I have been google-ing all day, only thing i seem to find are tutorial about irssi, and nothing about fserve.pl.. | 19:10 |
| Incarus | skyhate1, no, jost enter "./FILE" to run the file namend FILE | 19:11 |
| tonyyarusso | Krissed: You have failed to say WHY you want to do stupid things still... | 19:11 |
| Incarus | i have to go | 19:11 |
| Incarus | crdlib, and the xorg.0.log | 19:11 |
| skyhate1 | ok i try | 19:11 |
| skyhate1 | thanks | 19:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | Krissed, logging in as Root is a terrible idea (i know i use to do it when I first switched form Windows World, led to some bad happenings) | 19:11 |
| Incarus | skyhate1, np | 19:11 |
| Incarus | bye | 19:11 |
| Krissed | tonyyarusso, i thought i did.. well anyway im doing alot of security work with programs that wont run unless i do it as root.. its a bit complicated.. but i know what im doing.. | 19:11 |
| skyhate1 | lol it's look work ^^" | 19:11 |
| tonyyarusso | Krissed: Running programs as root has nothing to do with running your entire session as root. You don't understand what you're doinng. | 19:12 |
| Krissed | ZykoticK9, for most parts.. unless youre "root" or "admin" as it is in windows.. you cant do much.. most programs require it to even run | 19:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | Krissed, you need to look into sudo | 19:12 |
| Krissed | tonyyarusso, yes i do but like 90% of my programs requires me to be root.. and yes.. id HATE to having to type sudo and a password every 10 seconds | 19:13 |
| LOVELINUX | Hi i was wondering which program you should use to connect to WLAN's ? | 19:13 |
| Krissed | because this is how often id switch programs and run applications that requires root access | 19:13 |
| tonyyarusso | Krissed: Like I said before, you are simply lazy. If you deserved to be running security-related programs you wouldn't be trying to do insecure things, and we are not going to help you break your system. | 19:13 |
| anahata | hi tony | 19:14 |
| vieq | hello all, are there any alternatives to "APTonCD"? | 19:14 |
| anahata | i mean hi tonyyarusso | 19:14 |
| Aison | is there some ubuntu package that installs at least madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6 | 19:14 |
| _Whipper__ | vieq: many.. google | 19:14 |
| Aison | it's so ennoing, everytime my kernel is upgraded, my atheros wlan is no longer working | 19:14 |
| vieq | _Whipper__: thanks | 19:15 |
| _Whipper__ | nprblm | 19:15 |
| crdlb | Aison: do you need something not provided by the ath5k driver? | 19:15 |
| Aison | then I have to download madwifi and compile it myself | 19:15 |
| Krissed | tonyyarusso, i see.. well by now i can do a full setup in a few minutes.. thats not really the issue for me.. besides.. im logged in as root anyway.. if nothing else ill log in without the kdm and that works.. id just prefer it through kdm | 19:15 |
| danbhfive | Aison: have you tried LBM? | 19:15 |
| atrius | does anyone know if ubuntu makes any notable changes to firefox? | 19:15 |
| Aison | crdlb, danbhfive I have got AR242x WLAN Adapter | 19:16 |
| crdlb | Aison: which is supported by ath5k in linux-backports-modules-intrepid | 19:16 |
| tonyyarusso | atrius: Most of them are in the ubufox extension, although you could check the source package for Ubuntu-specific patches. | 19:16 |
| Aison | crdlb, maybe it too new to ubuntu ^^ | 19:16 |
| tonyyarusso | atrius: (you could also e-mail the ubuntu-mozillateam mailing list for a summary) | 19:17 |
| crdlb | Aison: it's not supported out of the box, but you just have to install that package | 19:17 |
| crdlb | and enable the other driver in hardware drivers | 19:17 |
| Aison | crdlb, ok, I will try | 19:17 |
| ghioc | salutare cineva roman | 19:17 |

| ISp`TrEaZeR | Can someone help me, I have problem with GRUB. | 19:18 |

| ubottu | Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro | 19:18 |

| ghioc | multumesc | 19:18 |
| LjL | atrius: keep in mind eeebuntu isn't really supported here. anyway i found swiftweasel (even though it's not really supported either...) helped on my own eeepc. though i just use epiphany now. | 19:18 |
| danbhfive | atrius: that could depend on the site you are visiting | 19:18 |
| ISp`TrEaZeR | Can someone help me, I have problem with GRUB. | 19:18 |
| ISp`TrEaZeR | Have new motherboard and CPU installed and now ubuntu does not boot. | 19:18 |
| ISp`TrEaZeR | It is only the message "GRUB". | 19:18 |
| ISp`TrEaZeR | I already reinstalled grub with a live-cd (this command: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda). | 19:18 |
| ISp`TrEaZeR | But it still does not work. | 19:18 |
| FloodBot1 | ISp`TrEaZeR: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:19 |
| ISp`TrEaZeR | sry ok | 19:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | ISp`TrEaZeR, "--root-directoy=/mnt" is wrong | 19:19 |
| atrius | danbhfive: true. flash, javascript, who knows what all, could easily cause such behavior.. however, it doesn't seem to be tied to any particular site or plugins.. rather strange | 19:19 |
| === ISp`TrEaZeR is now known as treazer | ||
| === crisanouk is now known as nickkk | ||
| atrius | LjL: true, however like most "small" channels the actual eeebuntu channel is usually unmanned.. and since it is based on ubuntu.. here i am ;). i'll give swiftweasel a whirl | 19:20 |
| _topper_ | hm | 19:20 |
| LjL | atrius: well, there's #eeepc - here we tend to be pretty strict about using the official versions of ubuntu, because otherwise the "small" differences can make all the difference by confusing waters | 19:21 |
| ozzilee` | Quick help? I was experimenting with running a second X server, which I have since closed, but now I can't launch anything from Gnome. | 19:21 |
| atrius | LjL: understandably so :) | 19:21 |
| ozzilee` | Trying to run things from eshell in emacs says "no protocol specified" and "cannot open display :0.0" | 19:22 |
| trim | hi all | 19:22 |
| ozzilee` | Not sure if I should be able to launch gui programs from eshell, but I think I should. | 19:22 |
| LjL | atrius: anyway give epiphany a try too, i find it also mitigates a lot the problem i have with firefox (and to a lesser extent swiftweasel) of things freezing up for short amount of times when scrolling or switching tabs | 19:23 |

| deepshikha | hey i m a new user to Ubuntu and I m seeking help over how to install voice and video chat for yahoo | 19:26 |
| deepshikha | in ubuntu | 19:26 |
| deepshikha | help me please! | 19:26 |
| atrius | LOVELINUX: well, given that i normally am a gentoo user what _I_ do might not be would _you_ would like to do.. however, i do know that network manager works pretty well :) | 19:26 |
| LjL | atrius: network manager... work.... mwahahaha | 19:27 |
| deepshikha | u hu can help me please | 19:27 |
| LjL | sorry | 19:27 |
| atrius | deepshikha: I'm not sure what you're asking for is possible. pidgin, the nominal standard for IM in most linux distros, does not to my knowledge support voice and video chat for any protocols | 19:27 |
| glitsj16 | atrius: okay, ad blocking is know to be causing slow loads .. if it turns out to be really smoother without adblock, there's privoxy you can use as alternative to do your adblocking (system-wide) ... "lightens" some load off of any webbrowser btw | 19:27 |
| atrius | LjL: hehehehe... well.. it fails less.. how about that? ;) | 19:27 |
| marshall | i wonder if im lagging | 19:28 |
| atrius | glitsj16: i could see how that would be the case. however, in this instance the "issue" existed prior to it's being installed | 19:28 |
| deepshikha | thx atrius for rep me , I am using pidgin , I even tried kopete and ekiga too | 19:28 |
| LOVELINUX | atrius: Hm okay, hwhere do you find that on your ubuntu ? | 19:28 |
| deepshikha | but was of no use | 19:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | deepshikha, according to http://www.justskins.com/open-source/video-chat-on-ubuntu/920 a program called Gyachi can use Yahoo | 19:28 |
| sushiX | i am getting low resolution on my Nvidia card much less than its capable of after in install the propertitary driver any one have a solution ? | 19:28 |
| atrius | deepshikha: so far i as i know the only voice/video program working on linux is skype. others may know more. i can say that skype works great though | 19:28 |
| _Whipper__ | sushi:177.x driver | 19:29 |
| _Whipper__ | or 180+ | 19:29 |
| deepshikha | oh but gyachi will help me for both voice and video ZykoticK9 | 19:29 |
| atrius | LOVELINUX: i imagine it is in the repositories. someone who is more of ubuntu user could tell you more about it though. all i can say is that it was part of the standard load on eeebuntu. LjL, is it standard on "normal" ubuntu? | 19:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | deepshikha, I have no idea - i only use Skype for video chatting | 19:29 |

| LOVELINUX | atrius: Okay thanks for your help | 19:30 |
| atrius | LOVELINUX: sure :) | 19:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | deepshikha, Gyache is only available in source code form, from http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/ | 19:30 |
| deepshikha | atrius wil this command work to install skype? command: sudo apt-get install skype | 19:31 |
| atrius | LjL: well, that's a kick in the parts... swiftweasel isn't in the eee's repository.. hehehe | 19:31 |
| LOVELINUX | crdlb: ohh i had removed it by mistake, now i got it again.. :) | 19:31 |
| atrius | deepshikha: if it is in the standard repository yes.. failing that, you can get a .deb package from skype's page at http://www.skype.com | 19:31 |
| SudoKing | hi guys I'm in need of desperate need of help, though its much to my fault. I didn't save a large file that I rewrote (my computer crashed and rebooted) in Kate and its not in /tmp/ ... anything I can do to recover it? :\ | 19:31 |
| deepshikha | thx <ZykoticK9> | 19:31 |
| atrius | deepshikha: they also provide a version for windows, the n800/n810, and various mobile phones | 19:32 |
| LOVELINUX | crdlb: But can i also connect to wireless internet with the network manager ? | 19:32 |
| deepshikha | oh ok thx atrius | 19:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | deepshikha, you might need to add the medibuntu repo before you can install skype? I know it's in medibuntu not sure about the default install | 19:32 |
| crdlb | LOVELINUX: wifi? yes, that's its main purpose | 19:32 |
| atrius | ZykoticK9: without listing everything there in, is there anything else of great interest in that repository? | 19:33 |
| LOVELINUX | crdlb: But when i click on my wifi then nothing happends .. it sometimes ask me for my password and then nothings happends | 19:33 |

| 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 | 19:33 |
| deepshikha | gyache | 19:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | atrius, yup it's got the dvdcss codec for playing dvds | 19:33 |
| crdlb | LOVELINUX: what wireless chipset do you have? | 19:33 |
| deepshikha | 1.0.5 and 1.1.0 which one is suitable?? | 19:33 |
| atrius | ZykoticK9: ah, that would be rather handy :) | 19:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | atrius, and the avicodecs for propriety movie stuff | 19:33 |
| Viata | !freenx | 19:33 |
| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 19:33 |
| LOVELINUX | crdlb: chipset? | 19:34 |
| atrius | ZykoticK9: that would be more handy for the netbook :) | 19:34 |
| atrius | LOVELINUX: do you have any command line knowledge? | 19:34 |
| === kb is now known as Guest54565 | ||
| LOVELINUX | crdlb: Yes a little bit | 19:34 |
| atrius | LOVELINUX: try this on the command line then: lspci | grep -i wireless | 19:35 |
| atrius | LOVELINUX: that will tell you what kind of wireless card you have | 19:35 |
| crdlb | atrius: mine doesn't contain 'wireless', fwiw :) | 19:35 |
| LOVELINUX | atrius: okay ill try that | 19:35 |
| bthrt | DCC SEND STARTKEYLOGGER 0 0 0 | 19:35 |
| atrius | crdlb: really? that's a pain | 19:35 |
| atrius | heheh | 19:35 |
| crdlb | atrius: they really should say 'Ethernet', but some don't | 19:36 |
| LOVELINUX | atrius: it doesnt do anything when i write it | 19:36 |
| atrius | crdlb: yeah, mine says ethernet and wireless.. i would have thought "wireless" would be kinda required. well.. as much as anything is anyway | 19:36 |
| crdlb | it just says 802.11abg | 19:36 |
| atrius | LOVELINUX: that is unfortunate. try this instead: lspci | egrep -i '802.11|ethernet|wireless' | 19:37 |
| crdlb | heh | 19:37 |
| atrius | crdlb: that ought to catch everything, no? | 19:37 |
| atrius | hhehe | 19:37 |
| Craz3dLunatic | ok, what would cause an evdo card to work fine then get to the point where it connects for a couple minutes and lose all throughput, then just start working fine again? | 19:37 |
| LOVELINUX | atrius: okay ill check it :) | 19:37 |
| atrius | Craz3dLunatic: Failure in the Magic Engine? ;) | 19:38 |
| Craz3dLunatic | well, I am running 8.10 with alltel service and thats what I am dealing with | 19:38 |
| atrius | LjL: any idea what PGO means as far as swiftweasel goes? | 19:39 |
| Craz3dLunatic | and I could lose this room at any time | 19:39 |

| ohzie | Viata, is freeNX that much more awesome than VNC? | 19:40 |
| atrius | LOVELINUX: do you know how to send private messages on here? | 19:40 |
| LOVELINUX | yes | 19:40 |
| Viata | ohzie: I do not know, I've never used it before | 19:40 |
| atrius | LOVELINUX: okay.. i didn't want to flood the channel with this next one | 19:40 |
| josesito | help i need to replace pulseaudio with oss or alsa, is there anywhere a guide for that? | 19:40 |
| Viata | ohzie: but I currently use VNC and it works fine for my needs. I'll probably try out freeNX today though when I get off of work | 19:40 |
| atrius | LOVELINUX: just do: lspci and pm me everything | 19:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | ohzie, i install FreeNX the other day - wasn't too impressed, but it does run over SSH so it's MUCH more secure then using straight VNC over the internet | 19:41 |
| ohzie | Viata, currently I use vnc as well, but I very rarely have to do the remoting thing. Soon I'll have to use it pretty consistently, along with remote-X, and an alternative might be amusing. | 19:41 |
| onthefence928 | what's a good alternative to AWN that doesn't need compiz to run well? cairo looks like crap without compiz | 19:41 |
| ohzie | windows laptop, linux desktop/workstation. | 19:41 |
| dennda | onthefence928: perhaps you can get gnome-do + docky with metacity compositing to work | 19:42 |
| crdlb | atrius: he left off the trailing ' | 19:42 |
| ohzie | onthefence928, Avant? | 19:42 |
| Viata | ohzie: I agree, I'm always up for trying new technologies. I saw someone mention freeNX earlier, so that's why I asked the channel admin about it | 19:42 |
| atrius | crdlb: you are correct | 19:42 |
| onthefence928 | deenda: i'm trying to avoid compsiting in general | 19:42 |
| onthefence928 | ohzie: AWN = avant | 19:42 |
| ohzie | onthefence928, xfwm imo | 19:42 |
| crdlb | onthefence928: for what it's worth, AWN is working on implementing a non-composited mode | 19:43 |
| ohzie | I'm unsure as to whether it serves your purposes, but for a long time before I made a full switch to xfce, I used xfwm within gnome. | 19:43 |
| ScottG489 | Can someone help me with vnc? I installed the vnc4server on my desktop and I have been trying to connect to it through vinagre (I guess its called "Remote Desktop Viewer" on ubuntu?) but every time I try to connect it just says "Connection to host "<local ip>" was closed."

| KewliOO | Can someone help me with the ubuntu 8.10? | 19:46 |
| ScottG489 | Viata: I guess so. | 19:46 |
| ScottG489 | Viata: I tried typing into the host box "<desktops local ip>" and "<desktops local ip>:5900" | 19:47 |
| ohzie | onthefence928, Oh! the kicker from kde3 used to be great for that. I used it sometimes with fluxbox | 19:47 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gyachi | 19:49 |
| ohzie | onthefence928, I mean, there's a panel for xfce that doesn't use any compositing and works great with eve-online and world of warcraft, and that should run standalone as well. Would that be closer to what you're looking for? | 19:49 |
| ohzie | onthefence928, xfce4-panel | 19:49 |
| onthefence928 | ohzie: i'll look into it | 19:50 |
| ScottG489 | Viata: Hm, im not sure. I dont have much experience with telnet | 19:50 |

| bigrigger | panesar_sandeep: enable your repositories, its in the optional/internet section in synaptic. | 19:51 |
| Viata | scottg489: if you can telnet to the machine on port 5900, it will show you if the port is actually open or not. try this. open up terminal, type telnet <ip address of machine running vnc> 5900 | 19:52 |
| Viata | scottg489: so if the machine you're trying to connect to is 192.168.1.2, type "telnet 192.168.1.2 5900" | 19:52 |
| Nalfeshnee | Anyone familiar with ndiswrapper issues? Specifically wusb54gs 64bit issues. | 19:52 |
| ScottG489 | Viata: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused | 19:52 |
| Viata | then VNC is probably not running on the machine, and/or the port is blocked | 19:53 |
| Viata | scottg489: try starting/restarting the VNC software manually | 19:53 |
| ScottG489 | Viata: Well all I did was install vnc4server. I assumed it would have started automatically | 19:53 |

| Fenix|work | magnetron, I actually have it configured to use squid... but squid has the line: cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 8080 0 no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange default added to it | 20:07 |
| magnetron | Fenix|work→ did you restart squid after you edited the squid config? | 20:08 |
| Fenix|work | yes | 20:08 |
| ScottG489 | Viata: yea i used that command before to see if it was running and it is | 20:08 |
| Viata | coreyman: in the menu, when you click on "network" underneath the different home folders (on the non server), do you see any other machines in your network workgroup, including the one you want to connect to? | 20:08 |

| Nalfeshnee | ScottG489: I'd install another version of vnc, like tightvnc, and disable the other server to figure out where exactly the issues lies, but that's the lazy-lack-of-thought-processes way out. | 20:12 |

| Nalfeshnee | ScottG489: It could be a lot of things: configuration, firewall, laptop, etc, etc. | 20:13 |
| Improv | danbhive: Oh, neat. | 20:13 |
| magnetron | Fenix|work→ i'm researching your problem. | 20:13 |

| Fenix|work | magnetron, thank you | 20:14 |

| danbhfive | Improv: mk | 20:14 |
| ScottG489 | firewall? even if its an internal ip? | 20:14 |
| mezy | whoa.... | 20:14 |
| Nalfeshnee | ScottG489: Firewalls are finicky. | 20:15 |
| Viata | scottg489: firewalls can affect it, but ubuntu doesn't have a default firewall as far as I know. | 20:15 |
| ScottG489 | Nalfeshnee: thats kinda why i wanted to try to do this internally first so i could weed out any local problems and not have to worry about external ports and such | 20:15 |
| mezy | my system time always keeps changing i boot up in ibex. is there a fix for this? | 20:15 |
| Nalfeshnee | ScottG489: Even if you use another version of VNC you can still do it internally. | 20:15 |
| stroyan | mezy: Time is supposed to change. Time waits for no man. ;-) | 20:16 |
| Nalfeshnee | ScottG489: Using another version of VNC allows you to decipher whether or not the issue lies with the said vnc-server or whether it exists elsewhere. | 20:16 |
| magnetron | Fenix|work→ yes, you DO have to remove the line "REMOVETHISLINE" | 20:16 |
| Fenix|work | magnetron, even if it's commented out? | 20:16 |
| Nalfeshnee | ScottG489: Otherwise you're just poking around in random directions assuming that something here works -- when it may not. | 20:16 |

| judget_ | thanks danbhfive the lshw was what i was looking for | 20:17 |

| MichaelKohler | how can I delete all *.*~ files that were created by gedit systemwidely? | 20:17 |
| Fenix|work | magnetron, clamlib is enabled | 20:17 |
| stroyan | mezy: Are you dual booting with windows? Do you have the hardware RTC set to local time or UTC time? | 20:17 |
| magnetron | Fenix|work→ then remove the "REMOVTHISLINE" line | 20:18 |

| Titan8990 | keres, yes, sudo | 20:38 |
| jumar | tmnt, check out wiki: http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Triple_Boot_via_BootCamp | 20:38 |
| Gnea | anon: it's been pointed out to you twice already. | 20:38 |
| anon | Gnea: it didn't help | 20:39 |
| keres | Titan8990: ok i did that, but i have to sudo cp and rm everything, i can't do it as a normal user | 20:39 |
| Gnea | anon: then you didn't do it right. | 20:39 |
| Delvien | Gnea gotta love it lol. | 20:39 |
| strange | stroyan: any more suggestions? | 20:39 |
| Gnea | !ask | anon | 20:39 |
| ubottu | anon: 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. :-) | 20:39 |
| anon | Gnea: i didn't do anything. the doc didn't help | 20:39 |
| Agent_AL | hello, I've created a launcher which starts gnome-terminal and executes some custom command. The problem is that terminal closes right after command completion occures. How do I hold it open to be able to read what it says? | 20:39 |
| stroyan | strange: It is a good idea to prefix comments with the nicknames of people you are addressing. Otherwise they are not highlighted and easily overlooked. | 20:39 |
| danbhfive | Agent_AL: pause? | 20:39 |
| anon | arrrgh | 20:39 |
| === sanozuke is now known as C-117 | ||
| Gnea | anon: well, you need to actually *try* to do something that the doc suggests. that's the whole point. | 20:40 |
| strange | stroyan: im sorry should i repeat what i stated earlier ? | 20:40 |
| danbhfive | Agent_AL: that might be a windows thing : ( | 20:40 |
| Nalfeshnee | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Linksys_WUSB54GS_v1_%2526_v2 someone make it exist! *cries* | 20:40 |

| Delvien | anon SYSTEM>PREFERENCES>SCREEN RESOLUTION | 20:40 |
| Gnea | anon: you just said you didn't do anything. | 20:40 |
| anon | Gnea: but the doc is not well written | 20:40 |
| stroyan | strange: I eventually saw it. (I have a filter script for sender names.) You could try running lircd in foreground to see if it gives interesting messages. | 20:40 |
| Titan8990 | keres, try: sudo mount -o users /dev/sdxx /media/mymountpoint | 20:40 |
| Agent_AL | danbhfive - that's right, Windows thing | 20:40 |
| anon | can someone help me adding the 1280x800 resolution? | 20:41 |
| strange | stroyan: how would i go about doing that? | 20:41 |
| stroyan | strange: More extremely, you could run lircd under the strace command to record system calls and their results. | 20:41 |
| Delvien | anon, stop asking | 20:41 |
| anon | i can't believe no one is willing to help | 20:41 |
| Gnea | anon: the doc explains very clearly how to add a resolution that isn't already there. | 20:41 |
| perlmonkey | hi, does anyone know if any problem/solution with Matrox G200 graphics adaptor support in 8.10? I'm surprised to be having problems as this is an old graphics card and I've never had problems with previous versions of Ubuntu. However after upgrading to 8.10 today I've lost graphics support it seems, initially I had lines all across the screen and pixelated image, now it's giving a clear image, but only at 640x480 and all the | 20:41 |
| danbhfive | Agent_AL: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-pause-command.html | 20:41 |
| anon | Gnea: the doc tells me to edit the xorg.conf, but mine is empty | 20:41 |
| Gnea | anon: what URL are you reading? | 20:42 |
| anon | Gnea: the one you gave me | 20:42 |
| jumar | Agent_AL, why dont you just type the command in a terminal, is that launcher so important? | 20:42 |
| Gnea | anon: paste it here. | 20:42 |
| Delvien | !resolution | 20:42 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 20:42 |
| anon | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 20:42 |
| Gnea | ok | 20:42 |
| Gnea | i just read it too. | 20:42 |
| Gnea | and it says | 20:42 |
| Gnea | Adding undetected resolutions | 20:42 |
| Gnea | $ xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 | 20:42 |
| perlmonkey | Delvien thank you | 20:43 |
| anon | yeah | 20:43 |
| Delvien | perlmonkey: for? | 20:43 |
| anon | whats S-video? | 20:43 |
| anon | whats modeline? | 20:43 |
| stroyan | strange: To run lircd in foreground you would first stop it with "sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop". Then run it in a window with "sudo /usr/sbin/lircd --nodaemon" . | 20:43 |
| Gnea | it's a mode that you probably don't need, so you need to make sure you use the right now | 20:43 |
| Gnea | er, s/now/one/g | 20:43 |
| perlmonkey | Delvien the url you triggered seems to have the solution i was looking for | 20:43 |
| strange | stroyan: thank you very much gonna try that now | 20:43 |
| anon | Gnea: how do i know that? | 20:43 |
| vernet | hey... I'm wondering if anyone knows if its possible to programatically move a window off the screen (either partially on entirely?) metacity doesn't seem to allow this to happen | 20:43 |
| Delvien | perlmonkey: oh, haha, I uh, didnt even see your question, but glad I can help ! :D | 20:44 |
| perlmonkey | :D | 20:44 |
| Agent_AL | jumar - the same question would look like "why don't you locate a file through explorer instead of using shortcut?" | 20:44 |
| carme | hola hay alguien que escriba español? | 20:44 |
| LjL | !es | carme | 20:44 |
| ubottu | carme: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 20:44 |
| Delvien | !es | carme | 20:44 |
| anon | can someone help me adding the 1280x800 resolution?? | 20:44 |
| Delvien | too slow :x | 20:44 |
| Gnea | anon: well, your xorg.conf should have a list of them, and xrandr --help will tell you the proper syntax ... also, man xrander will tell you some examples | 20:44 |
| Gnea | !repeat | anon | 20:44 |
| ubottu | anon: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 20:44 |
| anon | Gnea: my xorg.conf is almost empty | 20:45 |
| Delvien | anon stop asking multiple times, seriously | 20:45 |
| Gnea | anon: if you continue to repeat asking the same question, no one is going to help you and I will stop. | 20:45 |
| Koenigsegg | Does anyone know what xrandr stands for?? | 20:45 |
| jumar | get it, Agent_AL, its just dont need research | 20:45 |
| Koenigsegg | Just curious.. | 20:45 |
| strange | stroyan: do you also know why it doesnt work on boot (i have to plug out usb and plug it back in first) | 20:45 |
| Delvien | RandR X extension | 20:45 |
| anon | ok, i guess i have to keep on with 1024x768 | 20:45 |
| anon | GREAT | 20:45 |
| Delvien | Xrandr - X Resize, Rotate and Reflection extension. | 20:45 |
| kirilla | too much people in here, seriously | 20:45 |
| Koenigsegg | kirilla: Well, you just joined =^| | 20:46 |
| Korwynz | i just watch and learn :P | 20:46 |
| demon_ | can some one fix my Xorg i want more resolution :) | 20:46 |
| Agent_AL | danbhfive - thank's for link | 20:46 |
| Koenigsegg | delvien: Ok, thanks | 20:46 |
| Delvien | anon, If you read what Gnea is trying to tell you, it would help. | 20:46 |
| Delvien | Koenigsegg: np, man page is located http://www.xfree86.org/current/Xrandr.3.html | 20:46 |
| stroyan | strange: I haven't seen that problem. I use a streamzap receiver and it is seen right away. You may find clues in /var/log/udev. It should be noting the device at boot and when plugged in again. | 20:46 |
| kirilla | Koenigsegg: hehe :) yeah, and I don't intend to stay! weird client autoconnects here | 20:47 |
| draginx | How can I upgrade to ruby 1.9.1 with ubuntu hardy? | 20:47 |
| anon | Delvien: i read. he wasn't able to help. | 20:47 |
| Gnea | Delvien: I don't think that reading is the issue, it's the comprehension | 20:47 |
| anon | Gnea: compreension of what? | 20:47 |
| Delvien | Gnea well reading / comprehension can go hand and hand | 20:47 |
| anon | Gnea: xorg.conf does not have a list of resolutions. what can i do ? | 20:47 |
| anon | ??????????''' | 20:47 |
| Delvien | anon it doesnt anymore. | 20:48 |
| Gnea | anon: everytime I tried to give you a different piece of help, you just went back to "can anyone help me?!" after you were told NOT to repeat that question again. | 20:48 |
| Veinor | How can I get my volume adjuster to also adjust the volume of my external USB speakers? | 20:48 |
| Koenigsegg | kirilla: Huh?? Yeah, that's weird =} | 20:48 |
| Picassotamus | anon won't stop complaining until a big red button icon shows up on his desktop to magically fix his issue w/ no effort on his part | 20:48 |
| Veinor | right now it just adjusts the built-in laptop speakers | 20:48 |
| DRagonRage | hey i was wondering if there is a way to extract files from a wubi disk image? | 20:48 |
| Veinor | which is... annoying | 20:48 |
| Gnea | anon: therefore, you don't deserve my help. perhaps someone else can help you. but you're right, I cannot. Sorry, I tried. | 20:48 |
| anon | i keep asking because no one helps. | 20:48 |
| anon | you just keep saying to me i'm not reading. | 20:48 |
| Gnea | because you don't LET anyone help. | 20:48 |
| Delvien | anon what resolution are you trying to run? | 20:48 |
| anon | 1280x800 | 20:48 |
| * Gnea gives up | 20:49 | |
| Delvien | xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x800 --rate 75 | 20:49 |
| vernet | Veinor, right click on it, and choose preferences... you can choose what volume for it to control | 20:49 |
| djbender | Gnea, some people are beyond help :) | 20:49 |
| n8tuserf | Picassotamus-> you work for that IT store that promotes the red button? hehe | 20:49 |
| anon | Delvien: but thats temporaryu ? | 20:49 |
| Delvien | anon put that in a terminal. read this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-adjust-screen-resolution-on-ubuntu.html | 20:49 |
| Delvien | anon yes, you have to make sure it works first | 20:49 |
| Picassotamus | lol no, but thats what is needed | 20:49 |
| anon | i'm no newbie. but this is the first time i see an empty xorg.conf | 20:50 |
| stroyan | strange: You might have a problem with things happening in the wrong order when booting up. Perhaps the udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/*lirc* is starting lircd before other dependencies are ready. | 20:50 |
| anon | 8 years on debian. | 20:50 |
| Veinor | vernet: but then it only controls the volume of alsa playback, and for some reason only oss playback is working | 20:50 |
| anon | since my first question that you are assuming i didn't read. | 20:50 |
| anon | but you were the ones that didn't read. | 20:51 |
| DRagonRage | wubi anyone?> | 20:51 |
| Delvien | anon for spending 8 years on Debian, you sure are not even willing to help yourself. | 20:51 |
| * Gnea sees the problem now. | 20:51 | |
| strange | stroyan: so my best bet is to move lirc to the bottom then? | 20:51 |
| Delvien | anon sudo gedit ~/.xprofile | 20:51 |
| Nalfeshnee | Please don't argue guys. It's upsetting my chi. ^_^ | 20:51 |
| vernet | Veinor, then you probably have the wrong device/control chosen in there | 20:51 |
| anon | X loads the resolutions from xorg.conf . but if it empty | 20:51 |
| stroyan | strange: I really don't know. The defaults are fine for my system. | 20:51 |
| Delvien | anon put in that file "xrandr --addmode VGA 1280x800" | 20:51 |
| vernet | try changing whats selected in the dropdown | 20:51 |
| Delvien | anon save | 20:51 |
| n8tuserf | folks, there is dexconf tool I believed it is mentioned in the xorg.conf file | 20:52 |
| Delvien | anon and you are done, reboot | 20:52 |
| rww | DRagonRage: if you're running Linux, you should be able to extract them by mounting the wubi image: mount -o loop /path/to/wubi/image /path/to/mountpoint | 20:52 |
| === bruno is now known as Guest36640 | ||
| rww | DRagonRage: and then copying files from the mountpoint as usual | 20:52 |
| DRagonRage | great thanks! @ rww | 20:52 |
| strange | stroyan: it seems modprobe is executed after lirc could that be a problem? | 20:52 |
| perlmonkey | hi can anyone help me, i've upgraded to 8.10 and it seems my graphics card is no longer supported or i've lost the ability to use resolutions higher than 800x600... Matrox G200 | 20:52 |
| Korwynz | anon - what is the path to the file xorg.conf? | 20:52 |
| Delvien | perlmonkey: use what i just told anon | 20:53 |
| perlmonkey | /etc/X11 | 20:53 |
| Picassotamus | Korwynz: anon left, probably for reboot | 20:53 |
| * perlmonkey scrolls back | 20:53 | |
| Korwynz | ahh hah.. not paying attention :P | 20:53 |
| Delvien | perlmonkey: sudo gedit ~/.xprofile put in that file "xrandr --addmode VGA RESOLUTIONxRESOLUTION" save and reboot | 20:53 |
| Korwynz | was reding the forums.. some other people are having the same issue and was just trying to help out | 20:53 |
| stroyan | strange: lirc might need modules that are not ready yet. | 20:54 |
| perlmonkey | Delvien: cannot find output "VGA" | 20:54 |
| TnadeN | What exactly does it mean to enable the "IOMMU option" (installation cd asks for it.)? | 20:54 |
| Delvien | perlmonkey: ah,DVI? | 20:54 |
| TnadeN | and how do I do it. | 20:54 |
| Delvien | perlmonkey: well, i mean do you run DVI? | 20:54 |
| strange | stroyan: also im using a mceusb2 adapter after i ran lirc stop and hten start it again it doesnt seem to accept anything and --driver=mceusb2 it says unsupported | 20:54 |
| perlmonkey | Delvien: using an ordinary LCD VGA monitor | 20:54 |
| perlmonkey | VGA port | 20:54 |
| n8tuserf | TnadeN-> which installation cd you got that from? ubuntu? | 20:55 |
| Delvien | perlmonkey: try xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024×768 --rate 75 first | 20:55 |
| strange | stroyan: the weird thing is though when i just reboot my computer and plug it in, it works | 20:55 |
| perlmonkey | ok | 20:55 |
| TnadeN | n8tuserf: yep | 20:55 |
| TnadeN | n8tuserf: amd64 8.10 | 20:55 |
| Veinor | vernet: I'm playing around with the settings, none of them are letting me control it | 20:55 |
| Nalfeshnee | anyone know how to get a wusb54gs working using ndswrapper? *(64bit)* | 20:55 |
| n8tuserf | TnadeN-> i dont know, but it seems to translate to i/o memory management unit ? | 20:56 |
| Delvien | perlmonkey: work? | 20:56 |
| TnadeN | n8tuserf: it says it will cost me 64mb of ram if that is any clue | 20:56 |
| perlmonkey | Delvien:command executed but doesn't seem to have made any difference... xrandr doesn't show any higher resolutions available | 20:56 |
| Titan8990 | !compile > deepshikha | 20:56 |
| ubottu | deepshikha, please see my private message | 20:56 |
| Delvien | perlmonkey: and you tried "xrandr --addmode VGA 1024×768" | 20:57 |
| n8tuserf | TnadeN-> i have not come across such before, thats new, but then again i dont hve 64bit system | 20:57 |
| perlmonkey | Delvien: cannot find output "VGA" | 20:57 |
| TnadeN | n8tuserf: I don't think it's required anyway, I only see it when the error messages from the cd i burnt is showed | 20:57 |
| === Raphael_S_Auei is now known as Raphael_S | ||
| TnadeN | n8tuserf: burning new cd atm... hopefully I won't see it again :P | 20:58 |
| Delvien | perlmonkey: Do you have video card drivers installed? | 20:58 |
| n8tuserf | TnadeN-> good luck | 20:58 |
| TnadeN | n8tuserf: aaaand it's done, see you on the other side | 20:58 |
| Veinor | vernet: any ideas? | 20:58 |
| perlmonkey | Delvien: I believe so, I just did a modprobe mga, I think that's the correct driver for Matrox G200 card | 20:59 |
| vernet | Veinor, not sure | 20:59 |
| vernet | whats not going through alsa anyways? | 20:59 |
| Merc | Im running ubuntu, with a fat32 partition for media files. Thing is, sometimes it changes name in the /media/ directory, sometimes disk, other times disk-1. It often changes when im inserting mp3 player etc. How can i make my secondary disk partition's address static? | 20:59 |
| Veinor | i go to the sound preferences menu | 20:59 |
| vernet | almost everything these days should go through alsa at some point | 20:59 |
| Veinor | and select for sound playback burr-brown from ti usb audio dac usb audio (alsa) | 20:59 |
| Veinor | and when I test it it fails | 20:59 |
| Huufarted | quick question for someone that knows. I'm running Ubuntu on an Asus eee netbook. I'm looking at adding some of the acpi scripts so my laptop keys for volume, etc function. On installation of 'eeepc-acpi-scripts' through Synaptic, it says it's wanting to remove 3 packages. acpi-support, powermanagement-interface, and ubuntu-desktop. Obviously, this doesn't seem right. Anybody have any info on why it would want to remove those 3 packages? | 21:00 |
| Veinor | says it couldn't open the audio device for playback | 21:00 |
| n8tuserf | Merc-> via udev rules, | 21:00 |
| vernet | not sure | 21:00 |
| === itguy is now known as arandomguy | ||
| arandomguy | i have a q. | 21:00 |
| Huufarted | !ask arandomguy | 21:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask arandomguy | 21:00 |
| stroyan | strange: The strace command might give more hints about complaints that it can't support that driver. It would let you see what files lircd was reading and looking for. But its output does make for heavy reading. | 21:00 |
| Huufarted | !ask | arandomguy | 21:00 |
| ubottu | arandomguy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:00 |
| arandomguy | is it possible to remove the drm protection on ubuntu? | 21:00 |
| Veinor | what drm protection? | 21:00 |
| perlmonkey | hi | 21:01 |
| arandomguy | drm protection on itunes music | 21:01 |
| Nalfeshnee | DRM protection is a protection for media files. We probably shouldn't discuss that! | 21:01 |
| arandomguy | =[ | 21:01 |
| Delvien | perlmonkey: sorry, that is the extent of my knowledge when it comes to that. I deal with nvidia :D | 21:01 |
| Huufarted | arandomguy, that is illegal, but google it to find out. | 21:01 |
| arandomguy | oh well... | 21:01 |
| Veinor | hey, I've gotten help with emulator issues in here :P | 21:01 |
| arandomguy | thnx nyway | 21:01 |
| thrope_ | how do i start up network manager? I dont seem to have an icon and cant find a menu item | 21:01 |
| arandomguy | google didnt help much... | 21:01 |
| Veinor | thrope_: gnome-network-manager in a terminal, iirc | 21:01 |
| thrope_ | this is an old install thats been uprgaded many times so maybe its missing | 21:01 |
| Veinor | that's not it | 21:02 |
| Veinor | NetworkManager | 21:02 |
| Huufarted | arandomguy, stripping DRM from files is a very touchy subject and can be interpreted as illegal. Freenode's terms of service indicate it to not be tolerated. Sorry. | 21:02 |
| Veinor | (caps are important) | 21:02 |
| crdlb | nm-applet is the tray icon | 21:02 |
| Veinor | yeah | 21:02 |
| rww | Huufarted: It looks like eeepc-acpi-scripts is actually pretty useless, and broken: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eeepc-acpi-scripts/+bug/262679 | 21:02 |
| crdlb | NetworkManager is a system service | 21:02 |
| strange | stroyan: i have it running in foreground now | 21:02 |
| strange | waiting for it to crash :P | 21:02 |
| Veinor | NetworkManager is the actual manager, nm-applet is the applet. don't know if nm-applet starts NetworkManager | 21:02 |
| thrope_ | running NetworkManager doesnt do anything for me (it runs, has to be run as root, but just returns) | 21:03 |
| Huufarted | rww, I'm looking at that now and I'm seeing the same thing. | 21:03 |
| stroyan | strange: Waiting for a crash should just about double its lifespan. ;-) | 21:03 |
| Huufarted | rww, hahaha... I just found the exact same link | 21:03 |
| thrope_ | nm-applet I dont have on my path | 21:03 |
| thrope_ | is this the right way to go about setting up wireless? never used it before on this box but plugged in a usb wifi dongle - have always configured network manually the old fashioned way | 21:04 |
| rww | Huufarted: the last comment says to load the eeepc_laptop module. You can do that with "modprobe eeepc_laptop" (which will last until the computer shuts down) and by adding eeepc_laptop to /etc/modules (which will apply on startup) | 21:04 |
| strange | stroyan: i know :P | 21:04 |
| thrope_ | what should i install to get the networkmanager stuff to easily configure wirelesS? | 21:04 |
| Nalfeshnee | thrope_: what do you mean by easily configure wireless? | 21:04 |
| thrope_ | Nalfeshnee: i mean configure it with a gui thing, choose networks etc | 21:05 |
| Huufarted | rww, what's modprobe? | 21:05 |
| thrope_ | generally get it working without having to spend hours reading up config files | 21:05 |
| rww | Huufarted: it's a terminal command that loads kernel modules | 21:05 |
| Huufarted | rww, thank you. | 21:05 |
| Nalfeshnee | thrope_: You can just run the network manager? Or whatever it's called? | 21:05 |
| thrope_ | Nalfeshnee: point is i dont seem to have that | 21:05 |
| Nalfeshnee | thrope_: What version of Ubuntu did you install? | 21:06 |
| thrope_ | unless someone can tell me what its called - thats what im asking - what i need to isntall to get that | 21:06 |
| thrope_ | its 8.10 but its been upgraded since along time | 21:06 |
| thrope_ | i've always configured entwork manually | 21:06 |
| Nalfeshnee | thrope_: Weird... I have hardware issues with 8.10 distributions,.. 8.04 too... so I will unfortunately not be much help. <.< | 21:07 |
| Veinor | rebooting didn't help :/ | 21:07 |
| brandon_ | how do i find where my files are loaded (the files i loaded from the terminal)? | 21:07 |
| rww | thrope_: Remove any manual configuration for the interface you want to configure with networkmanager, install network-manager-gnome, and run the command nm-applet to load the GNOME applet. | 21:08 |
| Nalfeshnee | thrope_: rww wins. | 21:08 |
| Huufarted | rww, I have the module loaded, but how do you access modules loaded by modprobe? | 21:08 |
| thrope_ | rww: cheers - i will try | 21:08 |
| Huufarted | !modprobe | 21:08 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe | 21:08 |
| rww | Huufarted: what do you mean by "access"? | 21:08 |
| Huufarted | rww, once the module is loaded, I would assume it allows the hotkeys to interact with Ubuntu (volume, wifi, etc). But how do I access what it enables? | 21:09 |
| Veinor | vernet: OK... so when I open alsamixer, I can adjust the volume | 21:09 |
| Veinor | but none of the stuff in the volume preferences settings will work | 21:09 |
| jedi06 | how do you check cpu status | 21:09 |
| Huufarted | jedi06: top | 21:10 |
| obake | can someone help me this scheme: xbox -ethernet-> pc ubuntu -wifi-> router -adsl-> internet? i need the configure the pc to share the internet with the xbox | 21:10 |
| jedi06 | i knew that | 21:10 |
| jedi06 | well how do you see dual core cpu usage | 21:10 |
| rww | Huufarted: If the hotkeys don't work after the modprobe, you might need to restart (after editing /etc/modules) or edit System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts to your taste | 21:10 |
| hateball | jedi06: press 1 | 21:10 |
| hateball | jedi06: inside top, that is | 21:10 |
| Huufarted | understood, rww. Thanks | 21:10 |
| Veinor | jedi06: i recommend htop, it's better :P | 21:10 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | htop rules | 21:11 |
| jedi06 | interesting only one of my cpus is being used | 21:11 |
| jedi06 | so vbox doesn't use both cpus | 21:11 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | you have two cpu's or two cores | 21:11 |
| jedi06 | well two cores i guess | 21:12 |
| darkfile | Hi all, as you may be aware, ICQ does no longer work with the standard 8.10 pidgin | 21:12 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | some programs may/may not show/use the usage of two cores | 21:12 |
| darkfile | can you let us know when there will be a patch? | 21:12 |
| darkfile | (i have propsed updates switched on) | 21:13 |
| obake | can some help configuring internet connection sharing? | 21:13 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | darkfile, pidgin 2.5.2 comes with intrepid, pidgin 2.5.5 is currently the latest available | 21:13 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | www.getdeb.net search for pidgin | 21:14 |
| darkfile | hm, but i guess intrepid will be patched?! | 21:14 |
| darkfile | otherwise the intrepid client is totally useless now? | 21:14 |
| Nalfeshnee | udevd-event[6310]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit | 21:14 |
| Nalfeshnee | sigh.. sorry udevd-event[6310]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit.. why would the installer say that? | 21:15 |
| H3l1c0pt3r | darkfile, i am only suggesting that there is a later version of pidgin you can try | 21:15 |
| Tmi- | darkfile, I don't think ICQ works in 2.5.4 either | 21:15 |
| rww | darkfile: It's a known bug, the newest version of pidgin solves it, and it looks like that version will get backported. | 21:15 |

| darkfile | i will try to install pidgin in my home folder in the meantime (i want to rely on maintained packes from apt as far as possible) | 21:16 |
| jedi06 | well in the guest os it only shows one cpu | 21:16 |
| Brajan | *** Scanning #ubuntu for clones.. | 21:16 |
| Brajan | *** Scan completed (297ms) | 21:16 |
| Brajan | :S | 21:16 |
| Tmi- | darkfile, might be a better solution to temporary try another client | 21:16 |
| Tmi- | like kopete or something | 21:16 |
| jedi06 | no it knows that it is a dual core | 21:16 |
| rww | darkfile: specifically, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/340075 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/340151 have information | 21:16 |
| rww | darkfile: in fact, by the looks of bug 340151, it's in intrepid-proposed now, so you should get it pretty soon. | 21:17 |
| darkfile | thanks for the links | 21:18 |
| darkfile | im very bad in finding such stuff *g | 21:18 |

| jim_p | i have a tiny little problem... when i click a url in an app like pidgin or xchat, it does not open in ff! in fact, it does not open at all! why? | 21:21 |
| tokies | Hello :). | 21:21 |
| perlmonkey | got no graphics resolution above 800x600 :( | 21:21 |
| stroyan | obake: You can enable forwarding of internet between the ethernet and wifi by editing /etc/sysctl.conf and uncommenting the line that reads "#net.ipv4.ip_forward=1". See http://linux-ip.net/html/routing-forwarding.html for more. | 21:21 |
| Nalfeshnee | perlmonkey: are you using the vesa driver? | 21:21 |
| rww | jim_p: are your Web Browser settings correct in System > Preferences > Preferred Applications ? | 21:21 |
| petafile | so I run fakeraid, and I just shrank my vista partition (first on the drive). I'd like to expand my ubuntu partition (2nd on the drive) what's the best way to do this? | 21:21 |
| tokies | how do I do root user? Gparted says I need to be in as root | 21:22 |
| perlmonkey | Nalfeshnee: I'm using a Matrox G200 card, it uses the mga driver I think I did a modprobe and seemed to load ok..my system was working fine in 8.04 and I'm using same xorg.conf | 21:22 |
| jim_p | rww, yea, i have selected ff there | 21:22 |
| Veinor | tokies: add 'sudo ' to the beginning | 21:22 |
| rww | tokies: run "gksudo gparted" and put in your user password | 21:22 |
| Veinor | so instead of gparted | 21:22 |
| Veinor | run | 21:22 |
| rww | !gksudo | Veinor | 21:22 |
| ubottu | Veinor: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 21:22 |
| bluelightningvid | is there a better channel in which I should ask my question? I feel as if I am in the wrong topic based channel. | 21:22 |
| Veinor | rww: technically not true, as I read somewhere that gksudo can mess up in some cases | 21:23 |
| tokies | oh thanks I thought I i did it wrong. Thank you | 21:23 |
| Veinor | but yes, gksudo | 21:23 |
| Nalfeshnee | bluelightningvid: What is your question? | 21:23 |
| Veinor | anywya | 21:23 |
| tokies | thanks rww | 21:23 |
| bluelightningvid | Nalfeshnee: I was wondering if there is a program for ubuntu that will allow me to edit aep files(after effects projects) | 21:23 |
| jim_p | www.google.com | 21:23 |
| Nalfeshnee | perlmonkey: Unfortunately I am not the greatest person to ask.:\ You've already sapped up my knowledge. Try probing rww. | 21:23 |
| perlmonkey | ok | 21:24 |
| Veinor | is there a way to adjust what volume setting my volume keys adjust? | 21:24 |
| Veinor | er | 21:24 |
| Veinor | what mixer | 21:24 |
| Veinor | or whatever the term is | 21:24 |
| jim_p | Veinor, what laptop model? | 21:24 |
| Veinor | hp pavilion dv9235nr | 21:24 |
| Veinor | the volume keys work fine on internal speakers | 21:24 |
| Veinor | just not on external USB ones | 21:24 |
| rww | Veinor: gksudo for graphical apps, sudo for command line apps. if gksudo is breaking graphical apps, file a bug. | 21:24 |
| Veinor | rww: cancel what I said, I had it backwards | 21:25 |
| Nalfeshnee | that's an adobe proprietary format, isn't it, bluelightningvid? | 21:25 |
| bluelightningvid | Nalfeshnee: yes | 21:25 |
| jim_p | any more ideas?? | 21:25 |
| Veinor | as it is, it only seems to control laptop speaker volumes | 21:25 |
| Veinor | which is annoying | 21:25 |
| bluelightningvid | Nalfeshnee: but gimp for example, can edit psds, photoshop documents | 21:26 |

| jim_p | Veinor, sorry. i was refering to my original question | 21:27 |
| jim_p | i have a tiny little problem... when i click a url in an app like pidgin or xchat, it does not open in ff! in fact, it does not open at all! why? | 21:27 |
| Veinor | ah | 21:27 |

| lucax1 | is there any software like ichat available for linux? kinda need to do peercast of my screen and that kinda stuff.... | 21:27 |
| Nalfeshnee | bluelightningvid: You will want to look on wine forums for that, but.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jahshaka you might want to check that out? | 21:27 |
| cidwel | i have a question. I'm using wine to play s4 League, the game runs almost perfect but there is only a problem. I only can run the game by doubleclicking the exe icon in nautilus, i cannot create a symlink. When i try to make a shortcut or ln, the link only works if it's located inside the games folder, not when i put inside the Desktop folder. Does this have any sense? | 21:28 |

| rww | tehfalcon: no | 21:31 |
| tehfalcon | darn | 21:31 |
| bluelightningvid | Nalfeshnee: I searched for the application in: Add/Remove Applications, and it isn't there. Also tried the Synaptic Package Manager and isn't there. Do you know of a place I could find it to download? | 21:31 |
| emma | rww: not even a change of kernel? | 21:31 |
| Nalfeshnee | My installer hangs up at starting bluetooth and I also get a udevd-event[6310]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit.. any ideas? | 21:31 |
| grenn | tehfalcon - do you not like 64-bit? | 21:31 |
| tehfalcon | i should have listed to someone telling me that 32 is better for newbies | 21:31 |
| helper | how i can remove exim4 i can't remove it ?everytime i install give me code error exim4 not config | 21:32 |
| tehfalcon | grenn: the point is that everything is confuse | 21:32 |
| rww | emma, tehfalcon: Nope, because all of the non-kernel stuff is 64-bit too. Changing to 32-bit would involve replacing every single package on your system, which 1) wouldn't work 2) would take longer than reinstalling. | 21:32 |

| darkfile | i thought the .04 are conservative LTS | 22:47 |
| LjL | unko, the one i gave you, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone. just add a chapter like "Sync using iTunes in WINE" or something | 22:47 |
| darkfile | and the .10 are the experimental have fun stuff | 22:47 |
| automatix | osmosis: try in an terminal "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" | 22:47 |

| darkfile | yes | 22:48 |
| LjL | unko: eh, transfer files, whatever - i'm not too familiar with iPod terminology :) | 22:48 |
| darkfile | but usually the .04 releases are more conservative | 22:48 |
| unko | LjL, no i mean i only know how to get it installed on wine... | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !lts | 22:48 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 22:48 |
| osmosis | automatix: flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. | 22:48 |
| darkfile | and the .10 releases are more "innovative" | 22:48 |
| LjL | darkfile: that could be, i've never actually noticed that. anyway they aren't necessarily LTS | 22:48 |
| automatix | osmosis: do you have other flash installed like gnash or else? | 22:48 |
| darkfile | hehe, ok thx | 22:48 |
| osmosis | automatix: nope, never. | 22:49 |
| LjL | unko: ah, but... getting it installed is one thing, actually getting it to talk to the iPod is, i'm afraid, a very different thing :\ | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | osmosis: if you go to www.adobe.com and download the tar.gz file, you can extract the .so file to ~/.mozilla/plugins | 22:49 |

| osmosis | so weird | 22:50 |
| o0Chris0o | ActionParsnip: its x5340 | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | osmosis: sounds like a solution then. you'll need to run: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins | 22:51 |

I was thinking about getting rid of Ubuntu and putting Debian on the computer with either gnome or xfce, would that be enough to make the | 22:56 |
| o0Chris0o | what if I make a network printer from a xp machine? | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | automatix: i have the same video card, its awesome | 22:56 |
| spanther | need a restart now xD | 22:56 |
| codeuser | Mike94287: Xubuntu would be faster | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | o0Chris0o: worth a try, not sure | 22:56 |
| automatix | ActionParsnip: yes :) | 22:56 |
| spanther | cu later :) thx for help | 22:56 |
| codeuser | Mike94287: Xubuntu = Ubuntu + Xfce | 22:57 |
| o0Chris0o | ActionParsnip, alright thanks for the help ;) | 22:57 |
| Laundry | is there any way i can browse the drivers that are on the cd | 22:57 |
| codeuser | Laundry: they are in the kernel, not like windows | 22:57 |
| Klaz168 | Mike94287, xubuntu will be faster, xfce is light enought to run smooth on 184mb of RAM | 22:57 |
| Laundry | codeuser: where would i be able to look at a list | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | codeuser: i'm using lxde, its killer | 22:57 |
| |chiz| | is there something better than totem for watching dvds? | 22:58 |
| Laundry | and get files of the drivers added to the kernel | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | |chiz|: define better | 22:58 |
| Mike94287 | Klaz168: Okay I'll try it out. | 22:58 |
| Laundry | (assuming this is possible) | 22:58 |
| codeuser | Laundry: i do not know where you would find a list... just use the livecd to test what you need to test. | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | |chiz|: try a few apps, see which you like | 22:58 |
| codeuser | ActionParsnip: ok, lol | 22:58 |
| |chiz| | ActionParsnip: well totem seems to freeze up on me alot | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | !players | |chiz| | 22:58 |
| ubottu | |chiz|: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 22:58 |
| Laundry | the livecd has a bug for me | 22:58 |
| dragoncorp | can anyone point me to some documentation to on how to setup Ubuntu 8.10 VPS webserver | 22:59 |
| Laundry | it's detecting my card reader as a bluetooth adapter | 22:59 |
| euxneks | my window controls are on the wrong side. I'm using metacity. How do I switch them back? | 22:59 |
| Laundry | and it's actually built in to my computer, so i can't just unplug it | 22:59 |
| DaDa|Urka | why freezes "networking restart" because of NFS, altough i gave fstab the "hard" nfs option? | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | |chiz|: make sure you have codecs instaled and have installed video drivers | 22:59 |
| spanther | yay i got 3D :D | 23:00 |
| spanther | never was so easy to install drivers heh | 23:00 |
| Berzerker | how do I start compiz after I install it | 23:00 |
| dragoncorp | anyone help me out with setting up a ubuntu 8.10 vps? | 23:01 |
| codeuser | Berzerker: try getting the compiz fusion icon, it lets you swap between compiz and metacity | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Berzerker: (cool band) compiz --replace & | 23:01 |
| spanther | uh is there a safe way to enable vertical sync at desktop so that windows don't look cutted on the sides while moving them? :) | 23:01 |
| drcrazy | whats this 127.0.1.1 ip for ? | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Berzerker: check the new album by berzerker, its awesome | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | drcrazy: localhost | 23:01 |
| drcrazy | and 127.0.0.1 ? | 23:01 |
| Berzerker | and how do Iset it back? | 23:01 |
| codeuser | Berzerker: did you read mine? | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | drcrazy: same | 23:02 |
| jumar | install fusion-icon, berzerk | 23:02 |
| jumar | er | 23:02 |
| drcrazy | ActionParsnip: weird | 23:02 |
| codeuser | Berzerker: from command line do 'metacity --replace &' but still, use the fusion icon | 23:02 |
| Berzerker | well I don't need it, since it's not working | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | drcrazy: why? | 23:02 |
| Berzerker | so I just wanted to set it backfor good | 23:02 |
| drcrazy | ActionParsnip: don't take my words as is :) | 23:02 |
| drcrazy | hehe | 23:02 |
| jumar | why, whats the problem Berzerker? | 23:02 |
| Berzerker | vc isn't good enough | 23:02 |
| jumar | oh, then try other compositing, metacirty has one | 23:03 |
| magcius | What version of libtorrent is in the repositories? | 23:03 |
| jumar | its more simple, you can check it at gcon f-editor | 23:03 |

| setuid | How do I uninstall the (broken) IcedTea Java plugin that seems to come with Firefox on Ubuntu? | 23:04 |
| drcrazy | ActionParsnip: I just reinstalled my OS and i had in my /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost \n 127.0.1.1 machineName. This caused my Apache2 to tell me that it couldn't resolve the qualitified domain name. I changed the /etc/hosts to contain on the first line: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost machineName (and haven't changed the second line) and all works fine now :O/ | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | osmosis: i'd use the tar.gz personally | 23:04 |
| drcrazy | im just perplexed | 23:05 |
| setuid | anabolix, Wht phone? | 23:05 |
| Berzerker | well it's fine, I wasn't expecting it to work | 23:05 |
| Berzerker | but now that I have people's attention, is there a way to stick an app to a certain workspace? | 23:05 |
| codeuser | Berzerker: Not if you mean have it always start there. | 23:05 |
| drcrazy | ActionParsnip: I guess it works cuz now it finds 127.0.0.1 as my machineName (which is my /etc/hostname) | 23:06 |
| anabolix | setuid, its a sony ericsson c901 i think or c900 | 23:06 |

| drcrazy | ActionParsnip: can you tell me if I missed something in that /etc/hosts file ? | 23:06 |
| Berzerker | well yes, that's how I mean, similar to spaces on os x | 23:06 |
| anabolix | setuid, if you mean its connected to my laptop through usb port then yes | 23:06 |
| codeuser | Berzerker: AFAIK there is no way | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | drcrazy: can you pastebin the file | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !paste | drcrazy | 23:07 |
| ubottu | drcrazy: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 23:07 |

| Berzerker | kk thank you | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | BCM43: dont use sudo gedit | 23:07 |

| ActionParsnip | BCM43: sudo gedit doesnt setup the environment correctly | 23:08 |
| BCM43 | ActionParsnip: did you noe tread my post? | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | BCM43: just pointing out the first issue with your command | 23:08 |

| Laundry | is there any way i could download a driver that ubuntu uses for use with another os | 23:08 |
| Laundry | and if so, where | 23:09 |
| BCM43 | ActionParsnip: That is why i am trying to get someone to fix it | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | BCM43: it doesnt setup the environment correctly | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | BCM43: now im reading | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | BCM43: i wish people would stop using sudo gedit, you are right | 23:09 |

| anabolix | setuid, actually its the c902 | 23:10 |
| codeuser | ActionParsnip: no newb knows how to use the text based editors. | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | codeuser: the gui has an environment, the cli has an environment | 23:10 |
| BCM43 | ActionParsnip: no problem. Out of curiosity, what if you are in su. | 23:10 |
| drcrazy | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129560/ | 23:10 |
| codeuser | ActionParsnip: (i repeat) no newb knows how to use the text based editors. | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | BCM43: you ar ein nwronsville, use sudo -i | 23:10 |
| BCM43 | ActionParsnip: what? | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | codeuser: the cli environment is used with sudo, graphical apps like gedit need gksudo as the environment is setup for the gui using that app | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | BCM43: su is not advised as again, it doesnt setup the environment, sudo -i is advised (-i = interacttive) | 23:12 |
| sebsebseb | 23:12 | |
| BCM43 | ActionParsnip: ok, thanks, i guess i should add myself to the sudoers file | 23:12 |
| codeuser | ActionParsnip: ok... but in all my experience sudo has never caused anything to happen that gksudo would prevent. | 23:12 |
| chiliblue | codeuser: nano or pico are very useable if you come from a windows background, you don't have to dive in at the deep end with vi. | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | codeuser: if you use sudo gedit (for example) you can damage ownership and accesibilty to a file | 23:12 |
| codeuser | chiliblue: true, but windows users have terminal-phobia | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | codeuser: its there for a reason | 23:13 |
| chiliblue | I love terminals | 23:13 |
| codeuser | ActionParsnip: its not inconceivable... | 23:13 |
| sebsebseb | Gedit and Kate can be used instead of a terminal text editor! | 23:13 |
| codeuser | ActionParsnip: but gksudo is so that when you launch Services (etc) you get a graphical way to enter your password | 23:13 |

| Rabbitbunny | dual booting is as simple as I presume right? install windows, install ubuntu, grub makes magic. done. eh? | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | slashzul: ok what is your current window manager? | 23:34 |
| Guest2517 | hello | 23:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Rabbitbunny: yes | 23:34 |
| === Guest2517 is now known as tacosarecool | ||
| sebsebseb | slashzul: just install the other window manager, and select it from the log in screen | 23:34 |
| rww | Rabbitbunny: that's how it worked for me :) | 23:34 |
| Rabbitbunny | DIFH-iceroot: Thanks. | 23:34 |
| FirstSgt | and 0 for max clients to make unlimited clients | 23:34 |
| tacosarecool | I'm just wondering | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | Guest2517: hello | 23:34 |
| vonsp | if i manualy deleted some directories. /etc/gconf for example, how can i know which packages i should reinstall and how it may be done better? | 23:34 |
| tacosarecool | Is it me or is tao the best for burning | 23:35 |
| Rabbitbunny | rww: Thanks. | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | slashzul: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xpde | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | FirstSgt: try it, see what happens | 23:35 |
| rww | Rabbitbunny: make sure you install Windows before Linux. It's much easier that way. | 23:35 |
| tacosarecool | if your on vista theres special steps | 23:35 |
| Rabbitbunny | rww: I guessed such, ubuntu tends to be good at working around windows, but not the other way around. | 23:35 |
| chupy | i need help i have a inservible linux partition that its still there i want to recover information... i am on a live cd and i have and extraible hd can you recommend me a program to recover my information???? | 23:35 |
| Guest33687 | hello , i have new hard disk , so i installed ubuntu then windows Xp and reinstalled Grub after installing windows but windows xp dont appear on boot menu . any solution 4 that ? | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Rabbitbunny: make sure you partition windows to leave unpartitioned space | 23:35 |
| rww | Rabbitbunny: exactly. It's possible to do it the other way around, but you have to mess with GRUB quite a bit. | 23:35 |
| noumaan | How do I minimize transmission bittorrent client to notification area? | 23:36 |
| Rabbitbunny | aye, windows to 100gb, linux to 120gb, swap the rest. | 23:36 |
| Droopsta915 | Does anyone know if a static shock can damage a flash drive? I was going plug it in the usb port and I saw a little static charge, now my flash drive light is on and doesnt mount! I need it for my final exam tonight | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | Guest33687: ok you can add Windows XP to the menu | 23:36 |
| Guest33687 | sebsebseb: how can i do that ? | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | Guest33687: by editing sources list | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | !Grub | 23:36 |
| 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 | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Rabbitbunny: thats fie, just that when you install xp, dont take the defaults, make sure you leave unpartitioned space | 23:37 |
| slashzul | thanks Actionparsnip! | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | Guest33687: I mean menu.list or menu.lst | 23:37 |
| Rabbitbunny | ActionParsnip: kk, Thanks. | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | slashzul: np bro | 23:37 |
| tacosarecool | why are my discs failing to burn? | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | tacosarecool: did you MD5 sum the ISO? | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | 23:37 |
| chupy | sebsebseb how? and what software? | 23:37 |
| ubottu | To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 23:37 |
| tacosarecool | no | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | chupy: what???? | 23:37 |
| tacosarecool | I'm burning mp3s to a cd using gnomebaker | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | tacosarecool: md5 check the iso if its an ubuntu cd and burn as slowly as you can | 23:38 |
| Guest33687 | sebsebseb: okay , i will take alook at that | 23:38 |
| tacosarecool | should I use tao | 23:38 |
| Rabbitbunny | tacosarecool: some cars won't play burns. | 23:38 |

| jtaji | Laundry: the kernel source code... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=linux-source | 23:42 |
| sebsebseb | chupy: if the partition is deleted and you have Windows, I know of a program that will help. hummmmm and there's a Linux way to get data off deleted partitions to, not sure what though | 23:42 |
| kadii | how to fix Broken Packages ? | 23:43 |
| sebsebseb | !broken | 23:43 |
| ubottu | Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail. | 23:43 |
| sebsebseb | damn | 23:43 |
| sebsebseb | kadii: does it tell you to run a command to fix broken packages? | 23:43 |
| chupy | sebsebseb it dont has a format like ext3... i arruinate it...trying to pass it to ext4... | 23:43 |
| sebsebseb | chupy: which version of Ubuntu are you on? | 23:43 |
| kadii | everytime i install or remove something give me error Package lsb-core is not configured yet. all lsb... not config | 23:44 |
| sebsebseb | chupy: and Ext4 is a bit buggy still | 23:44 |
| shiloh7 | ewwwwww | 23:44 |
| Droopsta915 | sebsebseb:U lost your grub bootloader? | 23:44 |
| chupy | in live cd or in the hd loosed? | 23:44 |
| kadii | sebsebseb, when i try like sudo dpkg-reconfigure lsb-graphics | 23:44 |
| kadii | give me | 23:44 |
| kadii | sebsebseb, /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: lsb is broken or not fully installed | 23:44 |
| sebsebseb | Droopsta915: no, that was someone else that had Grub issues | 23:44 |
| chupy | sebsebseb in live cd juanty... and in the other 8.10 | 23:45 |
| sebsebseb | chupy: that's what I thought | 23:45 |
| sebsebseb | chupy: how new are you to Ubuntu? | 23:45 |

| Titan8990 | tacosarecool, my wiki results looks like session at once disk writting | 23:48 |
| sebsebseb | chupy: ok this is not suppourt for Jaunty you can get that in here: #ubuntu+1 | 23:49 |
| kadii | usr13, any clue ? | 23:49 |
| chupy | i dont want support for juanty.... i want a software recommendation to recover my information sebsebseb | 23:49 |

| sebsebseb | chupy: ok well theres a Windows program that should do it, as for commands for Linux Live CD, uhmmmmm not sure about those | 23:50 |
| kadii | usr13, yup | 23:51 |
| sebsebseb | chupy: for data recovery | 23:51 |
| snowveil | does anyone know why a mouse would suddenly start double and triple clicking after a reboot? also the sensitivity is WAY up | 23:51 |
| sebsebseb | !mouse | 23:51 |
| ubottu | Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto | 23:51 |
| usr13 | kadii: Is that what lsb_release -a says? | 23:51 |
| Titan8990 | chupy, not sure about data recovery programs, but if you need the ability to read ext4, only 2.6.28 kernels do, the 9.04 live CD is the only liveCD i know of with support for it | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !recover | 23:52 |
| ubottu | Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 23:52 |
| kadii | usr13, Description:Ubuntu 8.04.2 | 23:52 |
| kadii | Release:8.04 | 23:52 |
| Titan8990 | chupy, but there are plenty of distros you can compile a vanilla kernel on, although the more you write to that disk the less likely you will recover your data | 23:52 |
| Titan8990 | chupy, and this is where I stress regular backups | 23:52 |
| polter | hey I'm having some issues. I tried using unetbootin to install Ubuntu from /... well.. that didn't work since Ubuntu marked my / drive as cdrom.. and now I can't get away from that when using the CD.. that is. I can't partition the drive since my / drive is marked as CD | 23:53 |
| sebsebseb | snowveil: you can change mouse settings in Ubuntu | 23:53 |
| tacosarecool | darn it I wanted to burn the lyrics to the cd | 23:53 |
| Titan8990 | polter, from a live cd, / is the cdrom.... | 23:53 |
| usr13 | kadii: did you try apt-get autoremove ? | 23:53 |
| Titan8990 | polter, maybe you were wanting to chroot? | 23:54 |
| snowveil | system/preferences/mouse for some reason shuts down on me before pulling the window up | 23:54 |
| Titan8990 | !chroot | ubottu | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Titan8990: chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) | 23:54 |

| Titan8990 | polter, but /dev/sda can't be mounted, its partitions have to be mounted eg /dev/sda1, so show me the results of sudo mount | 23:59 |
