| usr13 | kadii: Have you altered /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 00:00 |
| kadii | usr13, no | 00:00 |
| polter | and sda1 is mounted in /cdrom and can't be unmounted because it's being used, and I have no idea why | 00:00 |
| Titan8990 | polter, are you not listening? | 00:00 |
| Titan8990 | polter, pastebin: sudo mount | 00:00 |

| Tronic | Mine is missing. | 00:03 |
| smokinjoe | Screen size? | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | polter: you are logged in as root (you shouldnt be) so yoou dont need sudo | 00:03 |
| Titan8990 | dragoncorp, vhosts in apache are sorted by the url, no need for multiple IPs | 00:03 |
| vigo | smokinjoe: I think that is in the xorg config | 00:03 |
| Tronic | $HOME is set correctly, though. | 00:03 |
| smokinjoe | Ahh | 00:04 |
| smokinjoe | Think you might be right | 00:04 |
| smokinjoe | Thanks | 00:04 |
| dragoncorp | Titan8990, can you explain in private message how to set this up with ubuntu and godaddy? | 00:04 |
| polter | ActionParsnip: I logged in as root because I don't really enjoy sudo | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | polter: why you are logged in as root iis anyones guess. its unnecessary and unneeded | 00:04 |
| Titan8990 | dragoncorp, uhh, no | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | polter: it has seriously crippled your security | 00:04 |
| Titan8990 | dragoncorp, that would be half a degree in network administration | 00:04 |
| polter | ActionParsnip: I know about root and security issues | 00:04 |
| usr13 | kadii: Did you have any luck with "dpkg-reconfigure -plow" | 00:04 |
| usr13 | ? | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | polter: if you are logged in as root you dont need to use sudo | 00:05 |
| polter | I know | 00:05 |
| TuxOtaku | hey, has anyone here had gnome-settings-daemon randomly keep crashing the last couple days? | 00:05 |
| polter | I'm still in between suse and ubuntu so out of habit I used both | 00:05 |
| kadii | usr13, no when i do it give me /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: please specify a package to reconfigure | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | polter: well if you logged in as root and launched an irc client, you clearly dont | 00:05 |

| sunapi386 | recently i lost the use of my alarm clock because of water damage; does anyone use something like "cat /dev/urandom to pcspkr " and set it up to go off at 7am? | 00:05 |

| kadii | usr13, when i dpkg-reconfigure exmin4 | 00:05 |
| kadii | give me it's not install | 00:05 |
| polter | I did a "sudo su" | 00:05 |
| polter | in terminal.. irc is in user | 00:06 |
| kadii | usr13, when i try to install it give me error | 00:06 |
| usr13 | kadii: Must have been Sendmail of some of it's dependencies, so.. | 00:06 |
| bruce89 | sudo -s | 00:06 |
| DIFH-iceroot | polter: sudo su is wrong | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | polter: you shouldnt use sudo su either | 00:06 |
| DIFH-iceroot | polter: environment | 00:06 |
| Rabbitbunny | sunapi386: no, but I've launched a mp3 via cron. | 00:06 |
| vigo | ActionParsnip: What is the command or keystroke to drop sudo or root when I want, example, I got the package, now I do not need root, I may want to use gksudo? or is that just being silly. | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | polter: sudo -i sets up the environment correctly | 00:06 |
| usr13 | kadii: what does apt-get -f install exmin4 say? | 00:06 |
| marsh | anyone using clonezilla and able to walk me through... | 00:06 |
| polter | ActionParsnip: ok, now about my problem.. there's nothing weird in fstab as far as I can see | 00:06 |
| kadii | usr13, Couldn't find package exmin4 | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | polter: the fact that you ae running commands with sudo as root implies you are ignorant of what root and sudo actually are | 00:07 |
| tc111 | here's what i want to do with what i have thrown in... 1 - server, 5 - nics (1-1Gb, 4-100Mb). server runs a firewall in a VM. i want to bond/aggregate/trunk (over non- 802.3ad switches) using kernel bonding (mode 6) and ifenslave on eth1-eth3. the host will not assign an address or even see the traffic as bond0 (eth1-3) will be assigned to the VM firewall for WAN access. eth0 (1Gb) is LAN for firewall VM and eth4 is lan for server (8.04.2 - i386, 2GB ram, 2x20 | 00:07 |
| sunapi386 | Rabbitbunny; how did you set it to launch at 7am? | 00:07 |
| polter | ActionParsnip: I told you. I haven't yet adjusted to being on Ubuntu again after running suse for a long while. | 00:07 |
| _Whipper__ | polter: u DONT need root in ub | 00:08 |
| Rabbitbunny | sunapi386: man cron manual will help you more that I can. | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | polter: fine but if your system gets hacked / broken..you were warned. There is a billion reasons why root is disabled and sudo is used in ubuntu | 00:08 |
| _Whipper__ | root isnt so complex term to unerstand | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | polter: any way | 00:09 |
| polter | I closed my terminal so there's no root anywhere now, so everyone can be happy | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | _Whipper__: if its disable there is zero chance to guess the password | 00:09 |

| sebsebseb | felixsulla: the Ubuntu version is not offical, but it is up to date in many wyas | 00:09 |
| HeXiLeD | all of a sudden a mounted hd says that it is read only when it was never ro and fstab still is what it always was. any ideas for this ? | 00:09 |

| nellmathew | hey guys, i needed to create a partition and install windows for work purposes - i recreated a GRUB using the LiveCD, but it didn't automatically add my windows partition. I know HOW to add windows (menu.lst), but for "root" how do i figure out which partition # windows is on? (ex: (hd0,#).. anyone know? | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | polter: lsof will show all open files and apps on all partitions | 00:10 |
| kadii | usr13, sorry, didn't got you! | 00:10 |
| _Whipper__ | action: point? | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | felixsulla: there's a reason why it's not 3.0, but even so it is up to date in many ways | 00:10 |
| kadii | usr13, what about exmin4 ? | 00:10 |
| felixsulla | sebsebseb: The Ubuntu version of OO isnt up to date you mean? | 00:10 |
| kadii | exim* | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | _Whipper__: so its more secure as ALL systems have a root account | 00:10 |

| felixsulla | sebsebseb: Why would it be an older version on Ubuntu? Is it up to date on other distro's? | 00:10 |
| tc111 | felixsulla: add the repositories for openoffice from launchpad's ppa (google it, it'll be there) | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | felixsulla: ok nevermind about what I said and get the ppa for version 3 if you want it | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | _Whipper__: so its a logical first point of contact | 00:11 |
| usr13 | kadii: it's exim4 not exmin4 Spelling error / typo | 00:11 |

| racecar56 | would it be safe to install hardy gcc-3.4 packages on intrepid? | 00:11 |

| tacosarecool | is there a easy way to burn lyrics with the song? | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | felixsulla: Ubuntu only does security updates in each release, newer versions of programs in the next release, but then there are also ppa's so people can get later stuff | 00:12 |
| vigo | _jet_: In aptitude terminal? | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | _Whipper__: its default in the install for a reason, in fact many so users dont use it. if you want to circumvent a great idea then fine. It one of the reasones windows has so many issues | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | _Whipper__: as the default user model is admin | 00:13 |
| _Whipper__ | action: vant see the point here now.. Deabian & the others have root tsydems, but u dont need'em in ub | 00:13 |
| racecar56 | bruce89, thanks that tab trick is cool, never heard of it | 00:13 |

| ActionParsnip | _Whipper__: its not needed in any distro | 00:13 |
| tacosarecool | racecar it should | 00:13 |
| vigo | _jet_: since you know aptitude, type aptitude, a new terminal opens up | 00:13 |
| tacosarecool | I've installed hardy things in intrepid | 00:14 |
| bruce89 | racecar56: not really, but why? | 00:14 |
| _Whipper__ | action: i dont use tab, lame.. | 00:14 |
| racecar56 | bruce89, it's because they took it out of intrepid | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | _Whipper__: they just choose to enable it, ubuntu is made for the masses, linux used to be for the nerdy but now its for the masses so ubuntu protects its flock | 00:14 |
| lstarnes | racecar56: as a general rule, packages for one version of ubuntu are unsafe on other versions | 00:14 |
| kadii | usr13, http://pastebin.com/m7b0073d4 | 00:14 |

| ActionParsnip | _Whipper__: see how you name highlights when i address you, thats not an acident | 00:14 |
| racecar56 | bruce89, it's because something i got to compile won't work on 4.x, it's very old | 00:15 |

| Chousuke | onats: you have 8 Gb of memory and you want to save it? | 00:19 |
| dean | rm in the latest coreutils refuses to remove / | 00:19 |
| tehfalcon | rm = remove | 00:19 |
| Chousuke | onats: what. | 00:19 |
| darkfile | your bot is cool | 00:19 |
| felixsulla | tc111: The softpedia PPA you mean? | 00:19 |
| racecar56 | ActionParsnip, but swfdec dosen't work with some things | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | racecar56: its just an example of when non OSS is ok | 00:20 |
| onats | chousuke, well its just that when i monitor my processes, its firefox which consumes a lot. close to 700m | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | racecar56: just like opera (imho) is better than firefox | 00:20 |
| bruce89 | ActionParsnip: it's fine the Free Web now needs a non-free thing? | 00:20 |
| onats | so its pretty heavy | 00:20 |
| Chousuke | onats: and why does that matter? | 00:20 |
| tc111 | darkfile, dean: what are you doing? deleting your entire linux install? | 00:20 |
| vigo | _jet_: You might want to use Synaptic Package Manager for that, it is a GUI thing that explains details of everything before it is selected or applied. aptitude sorta does, is still a terminal. | 00:20 |
| Chousuke | onats: are you running out of memory? | 00:20 |
| tehfalcon | lawl | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | racecar56: infact i'd say a lot of browsr are better but people are sheep and use firefox | 00:20 |

| bruce89 | oops, not Chrom | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | _Whipper__: exactly what? | 00:22 |
| step21_ | racecar56: chromium ~ chrome you know .... | 00:22 |
| dean | chromium and google chrome are different ? | 00:22 |
| racecar56 | yes | 00:22 |
| jmaxxd | chrom?? | 00:22 |
| tehfalcon | chrom what? | 00:22 |
| bruce89 | e | 00:22 |
| Chousuke | onats: well that might be a problem. | 00:22 |
| jmaxxd | ok...I'll give it a try thanks | 00:22 |
| racecar56 | dean, google chrome is a non-oss version of chromium | 00:22 |
| usr13 | kadii: apt-get -f install exim4-base | 00:22 |
| _Whipper__ | ActionParsnip, : answered your q | 00:22 |
| step21_ | not in terms of functionality | 00:22 |
| bruce89 | ah | 00:22 |
| darkfile | try dd if="hitler" of=/dev/sda | 00:22 |
| tehfalcon | ohhh | 00:22 |
| darkfile | :p | 00:22 |
| racecar56 | lol | 00:22 |
| onats | chousuke, so it could be memory then right? | 00:22 |
| Chousuke | onats: unlikely :P | 00:22 |
| onats | i'm still installing opera | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | _Whipper__: you lost me | 00:22 |
| Chousuke | onats: unless firefox is going haywire | 00:22 |
| usr13 | kadii: apt-get -f install exim4-deamon-light | 00:23 |
| Chousuke | onats: which would be a bug in firefox. | 00:23 |
| bruce89 | onats: midori perhaps | 00:23 |
| racecar56 | what to do to get g++-3.4 on intrepid? | 00:23 |
| Dekkard | maybe he need to limit cache? | 00:23 |
| Chousuke | onats: but go ahead and try other browsers if you want | 00:23 |
| onats | chousuke, well it looks like its FF. once i close it, everything that i clicked opend up | 00:23 |
| Chousuke | onats: epiphany is fine | 00:23 |
| felixsulla | Speaking of Google Chrome, anyone heard if/when they will finally realease it to Ubuntu? | 00:23 |
| _Whipper__ | ActionParsnip, :if we just leave it here ?-) | 00:23 |
| Chousuke | felixsulla: after DNF | 00:23 |
| tehfalcon | can't u just use wine? | 00:23 |
| _Whipper__ | getting abit offtopic | 00:23 |
| bruce89 | Chousuke: indeed, but memory-wise, there's not much difference | 00:23 |
| racecar56 | or am i going to have to get something like ubuntu 5.x/6.06 and attempt to compile | 00:23 |
| felixsulla | Chousuke: DNF? | 00:23 |
| Dekkard | currently no :oonix version of chrome at all | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | big firefox bug == if you use kubuntu, installing firefox is 100MMb for a web browser | 00:23 |
| Chousuke | bruce89: yes. | 00:23 |
| vigo | onats: Epiphany is a great lightweight browser. | 00:23 |
| darkfile | felilixsulla i hope NEVER | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | _Whipper__: sounds agreeable | 00:24 |
| kadii | usr13, about exim4-base same error and exim4-deamon-light give me : E: Couldn't find package exim4-deamon-light | 00:24 |
| felixsulla | darkfile: Why? Chrome is rad. | 00:24 |
| Chousuke | felixsulla: duke nukem forever :P | 00:24 |
| bruce89 | Chousuke: but of course, WebKit will fix it | 00:24 |
| onats | vigo,looking it up | 00:24 |
| darkfile | chrome is crap | 00:24 |
| Chousuke | bruce89: right :P | 00:24 |
| racecar56 | vigo, but it dosen't have adblock :P | 00:24 |
| onats | bruce89, midori? | 00:24 |
| felixsulla | Chousuke: I dont follow games, I take it DNF was never released..? | 00:24 |
| racecar56 | i like adblock plus | 00:24 |
| bruce89 | onats: WebKit browser | 00:24 |
| darkfile | it reports to google twice a minute :) | 00:24 |
| Chousuke | felixsulla: it's been in development for over 10 years now. | 00:24 |
| step21_ | onats: did you have a lot of tabs with flash on them open? that brings many a browser down on linux and os x | 00:24 |
| yuri_ | hi id like to use sshfs and have write options, so far it tells me that there is not enough space but I know that there is | 00:24 |
| tehfalcon | my perfect firefox setup is: adblock plus+stumbleupon+imagezoom+foxmarks | 00:24 |
| glitsj16 | racecar56: epiphany + privoxy for adblocking works just fine as well | 00:25 |
| vigo | onats: just go Applications>add-remove, select Internet and look at it. | 00:25 |
| darkfile | "hey google, felixsulla is just watching a pr0n on 0:43 of 1:43" | 00:25 |
| darkfile | :p | 00:25 |
| step21_ | they are working on a chromium port ... just look it up | 00:25 |
| Dekkard | ubiquity | 00:25 |
| WirmDrink | jHi | 00:25 |
| bruce89 | BTW, epiphany-extensions has adblock | 00:25 |

| racecar56 | step21_, i once had 25 tabs all with running flash + sound on linux and it didn't lag 1 bit | 00:25 |
| WirmDrink | why is pulseaudio so crap ? | 00:25 |
| felixsulla | darkfile: Hmm, do you believe you have anonymity if you dont use Chrome? heh. | 00:25 |
| tehfalcon | oh lawl , i just use google chrome to watch porn while on windows... | 00:25 |
| racecar56 | WirmDrink, because..... | 00:25 |

| darkfile | :) | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | *alsa | 00:25 |
| step21_ | racecar56: it doesn't have to, but it can, depends a lot on the specific flash apps i think | 00:25 |
| * _Whipper__ some beer and burn a "few" light-F***ing-Scribe labels.." > | 00:25 | |
| tehfalcon | no, the incognito mode does pretty much nothing | 00:25 |
| Chousuke | google is not really being very good about chrome development. | 00:25 |
| bruce89 | !ohmy | 00:25 |
| Chousuke | it's open source, but it's not very welcoming to non-google developers. | 00:26 |
| snowveil | so in addition to my mouse getting messed up (double clicking instead of single clicking, sensitivity way up), windows are freezing as well | 00:26 |
| tehfalcon | it just saves you cleaning cookies and browsing history :) | 00:26 |
| Chousuke | their SVN repository is full of crap | 00:26 |
| felixsulla | darkfile: You do have an ISP though? | 00:26 |

| xapt | Okay, so I installed vmware server - I even got ubuntu server running, installed apache and php5 and got all that running - but now I wanted to test it and I'm not sure how I can access the web server from the vmware server - Apache is running, but I'm confused as to how the networking is working here. Anyone have any idea's on how I can get to my vmware server from my host ubuntu's web browser? | 00:26 |
| tehfalcon | sure..... | 00:26 |

| felixsulla | Chrome is just so fast compared to Firefox or Opera | 00:27 |
| step21_ | dunno, I compile the os x development parts of chromium that work already and ppl there were very helpful. | 00:27 |
| tehfalcon | darkfile: use tor | 00:27 |
| tehfalcon | safer | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | xapt: run ifconfig / ipconfig in the guest, the install should have offered to bridge the connection so you should have an ip from your router | 00:27 |
| vigo | Is there a replacement driver for that ATI one, it made my screen go all blank. | 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | Google Chrome uses webkit, and so I guess they have to port that to Linux to? | 00:27 |
| kadii | usr13, then i did sudo apt-get autoremove now | 00:27 |
| bruce89 | sebsebseb: already there | 00:27 |
| step21_ | tehfalcon: more paranoid << fix'd | 00:27 |
| yothere12091 | hi all. I have a corrupted installation of 8.10 and need a bit of help getting my stuff off of it. I've tried using the cp command to copy files while having logged in using the installation cd and everytime I tell it to sudo cp the home folder it tells me it's omitting it. Ideas? | 00:27 |
| tehfalcon | haha | 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: it's already been done? | 00:28 |
| tehfalcon | you never know who might be watching you.... | 00:28 |
| bruce89 | sebsebseb: GNOME 2.28 is set to use WebKit quite a bit | 00:28 |
| racecar56 | yothere12091, use nautilus | 00:28 |
| tehfalcon | i can feel them on the other end of the line | 00:28 |
| racecar56 | yothere12091, cp sucks | 00:28 |
| kadii | usr13, should i install exim4 now ? | 00:28 |
| step21_ | tehfalcon: true :) | 00:28 |
| dean | yothere12091: cp -r | 00:28 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: oh yeah Epiphany can be told to use webkit instead of Gecko that's a point | 00:28 |
| racecar56 | kk | 00:28 |
| yothere12091 | racecar56: says I don't have permission | 00:28 |
| bruce89 | sebsebseb: and Qt already has it | 00:28 |
| tehfalcon | sudo | 00:28 |
| jmaxxd | \well apperently the google people are every wher | 00:28 |
| dean | yother1091: run it as root | 00:28 |
| dean | !sudo | 00:28 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 00:28 |
| racecar56 | yothere12091, sudo nautilus | 00:28 |
| bruce89 | sebsebseb: well, trunk is WebKit-only | 00:28 |
| racecar56 | !su | 00:28 |
| tehfalcon | !cp | 00:29 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cp | 00:29 |
| jmaxxd | thanks...have a good day all | 00:29 |
| WirmDrink | pulseaudio is really crap | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: you suer you don't mean KTHML? webkit is based on Khtml what konqueror uses | 00:29 |
| WirmDrink | I dont get why its enabled by default | 00:29 |
| vigo | Epiphany is a great lil browser | 00:29 |
| bruce89 | sebsebseb: nope | 00:29 |
| racecar56 | WirmDrink, you shure are right, and also pwns | 00:29 |
| felixsulla | Whats the diff between gksu and gksudo? | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | vigo: yep it is and Galeon | 00:29 |
| bruce89 | WirmDrink: blah | 00:29 |
| racecar56 | WirmDrink, *alsa | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | yothere12091: you could use dd_rescue to create an image on another partition then fsck that and copy the data, you could just restore from backup and reinstall | 00:29 |
| racecar56 | yothere12091, sudo nautilus | 00:29 |
| racecar56 | !su | 00:29 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 00:29 |
| bruce89 | !gksudo | 00:29 |
| ubottu | 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) | 00:29 |
| tehfalcon | bruce89: try using a text only browser ;) | 00:29 |
| racecar56 | su != sudo.... :P | 00:29 |
| yothere12091 | how does one sudo nautilus | 00:29 |
| WirmDrink | yes alsa fails allot less | 00:29 |
| tehfalcon | that is little | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | yep text only browser such as Lynx and Links can be fun | 00:29 |
| bruce89 | tehfalcon: heh | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | browsers | 00:30 |
| racecar56 | so !su shouldn't have to do with sudo | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | yothere12091: if the files are owned by you you dont need sudo or gksudo | 00:30 |
| racecar56 | btw i fixed my su | 00:30 |
| bruce89 | CLI browsers are the same as a CLI image browser | 00:30 |
| bruce89 | not quite as bad I suppose | 00:30 |
| tehfalcon | does SU work on gnome terminal? | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | racecar56: su isnt used except to switch between users | 00:30 |
| tehfalcon | i have only used it on kde | 00:30 |
| sebsebseb | tehfalcon: of course it does | 00:30 |
| yothere12091 | they belong to me but I've logged in using the CD. if I login to my copy on the hd the computer won't connect any other drives listed anywhere | 00:30 |
| glitsj16 | WirmDrink: with guidance of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 pulseaudio works just fine in intrepid | 00:30 |
| tehfalcon | oh wow | 00:30 |
| sebsebseb | tehfalcon: you can use su instead of sudo | 00:30 |
| tehfalcon | that saves you typing sudo all the time | 00:31 |
| racecar56 | ActionParsnip, i got it to work like when you use 'su -' it asks for password and unlike 'normal', it actually dosen't have a auth fail | 00:31 |
| dean | sudo su works to get a root shell | 00:31 |
| bruce89 | sudo -s does the same as su, but doesn't need a root password | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | racecar56: use sudo -i | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | tehfalcon: sure, but with this distro, it's sudo this that or the other and sometimes gksudo | 00:31 |
| racecar56 | i gig | 00:31 |
| racecar56 | *gtg | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | dean: sudo -i is advised | 00:31 |
| dean | usually on ubuntu you don't set the root password though | 00:31 |
| === Guest59880 is now known as yeadude | ||
| sebsebseb | tehfalcon: Ubuntu and I guess ubuntu based distros, being the only ones that use sudo by default by the sounds of it | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | dean: usually yes, unless you want to be un-ubuntu | 00:32 |
| Silkjc | I'm attempting to limit my system memory to resolve another problem that goes away when I remove my second memory DIMM. Passing mem=2048M results in a garbled X display on boot, anyone got any suggestions? | 00:32 |
| bruce89 | it'll likely annoy me when I switch away from Ubuntu | 00:32 |
| tehfalcon | sebsebseb: where does sudo come from? | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | tehfalcon: Unix it's been around since 1979 or something Sudo has | 00:32 |
| felixsulla | So if you use Debian it doesnt use su? | 00:32 |
| dean | tehfalcon: super user do once | 00:32 |
| toggles | tehfalcod: super user do | 00:32 |
| tehfalcon | k | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tehfalcon: Super User DO# | 00:33 |
| sebsebseb | felixsulla: every distro can do su I think, and most distros have a normal user account, and a seperate root account | 00:33 |
| tehfalcon | i was thinking the same thing felix | 00:33 |
| tehfalcon | does sudo work on debian? | 00:33 |
| sebsebseb | felixsulla: there is a seperate root account or kind of anyway in Ubuntu, but it doesn't really get used | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tehfalcon: indeed | 00:33 |
| dean | sebsebseb: all distros have a root account, it's just that the root account is locked and has no password on ubuntu | 00:33 |
| sebsebseb | tehfalcon: sudo can be installed into other distros yes | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: by default it is disabled | 00:33 |
| dean | tehfalcon: only if the user is given permission in /etc/sudoers | 00:34 |
| dean | see man sudoers | 00:34 |
| dean | !man | 00:34 |

| sebsebseb | !root | 00:34 |
| 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 | 00:34 |

| dean | poseidon | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: which one? | 00:34 |
| ubuntu__ | bruce89, thx | 00:34 |
| dean | poseidon: sudo dpkg -i <filename> or double click | 00:34 |

| poseidon | dean, well I have like 8 which are dependent on each other. What would be the best way for me to install them | 00:35 |

| bruce89 | w3m | 00:40 |
| a555 | Hello, what ubuntu gnome irc app can i used to go on irc with socks5? | 00:40 |
| drcrazy | thats not the one I was thinking of | 00:40 |
| tim__b | a555 xchat can connect via socks5 proxy | 00:40 |
| drcrazy | but it seems to work. | 00:40 |
| drcrazy | brb, checking what i can do. | 00:40 |
| a555 | how about konversation? | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | bruce89: w3m or lynx2 | 00:40 |
| a555 | tim_b; where is the setting for it in xchat? | 00:41 |
| drcrazy | oh lynx is what i was thinking of | 00:41 |
| tc111 | a555: for gnome, X-Chat and Pidgin support socks | 00:41 |
| bruce89 | I went for w3m because it is installed by default | 00:41 |
| drcrazy | ;) | 00:41 |
| drcrazy | thankx | 00:41 |
| tokies | is there anyway for me to create like a short cut or something to connect me from the home folder to the drives on my ubuntu 8.10 .... so my mac can connect to them using AFP ... | 00:41 |
| tokies | ? | 00:41 |
| drcrazy | no printers installed ;) | 00:41 |
| tim__b | a555 Options, Network, and then there's a proxy section | 00:41 |
| tokies | I can stream media but no way to reach those drives.. | 00:41 |
| drcrazy | goude, I'll follow the installation procedures :D | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | drcrazy: links is another one | 00:42 |
| a555 | so i have to use xchat and pidgion in a combination to get socks5 irc to work? | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | drcrazy: lynx and links | 00:42 |
| drcrazy | never heard of links | 00:42 |
| lstarnes | a555: no, just one or the other | 00:42 |
| tc111 | a555: no, both support, pick one | 00:42 |
| drcrazy | sounds like a remake of lynx | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | drcrazy: it might be | 00:42 |
| drcrazy | brb | 00:42 |
| drcrazy | installing printer ;D | 00:42 |
| lstarnes | a555: I think regular xchat does support socks, but not xchat-gnome | 00:42 |
| a555 | what is the irc command to set the socks5 proxy you want to use? | 00:42 |
| * drcrazy crosses his fingers | 00:42 | |
| tehfalcon | back... | 00:43 |
| * bruce89 wonders why people don't like xchat-gnome | 00:43 | |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: real xchat is apparnatlly better, and Konversation is :) | 00:43 |
| tehfalcon | i love pidgin :) | 00:43 |
| * bruce89 goes for Empathy | 00:43 | |
| a555 | i dunno just the look and feel of it i guess.. | 00:43 |
| LordFDisk | bruce89, I use XChat I like it | 00:43 |
| a555 | makes my eyes hurt | 00:43 |
| Desmond | is there like an ubuntu-mac channel? | 00:43 |
| bruce89 | for non-IRC | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | Desmond: nope | 00:44 |
| Desmond | ok | 00:44 |
| tehfalcon | ubuntu mac :| | 00:44 |
| tokies | good question tho | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | Desmond: there is #mac ,but I wonder if thats just for OS X or more general | 00:44 |
| a555 | to be honest.. i am just switching from mirc | 00:44 |
| Desmond | thanks | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | Desmond: there is also #linux which is a general Linux channel | 00:44 |
| tc111 | lstarnes, a555: lstarnes is correct, the gnome version does not, use the actual xchat (unmodified/uncrippled) version. | 00:44 |
| lstarnes | a555: in xchat, try Settings > preferences > network > network setup | 00:44 |
| tacosarecool | there's #macrumors | 00:44 |
| tacosarecool | I think it's on freenode | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | a555: yeah IRC sucks | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | a555: apparantly | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | uh | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | I meant mirc | 00:45 |
| FloodBot2 | sebsebseb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:45 |

| sschultz | Can anyone point me to a helpful resource of Ubuntu tutorials to help a newb setup a webserver (LAMP) on ubuntu? Thanks! | 00:45 |
| a555 | dont see the option | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | !lamp | sschultz | 00:46 |
| ubottu | sschultz: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 00:46 |
| tc111 | !lamp | sschultz | 00:46 |
| a555 | i may have to try and use wine to use mirc | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | a555: wtf?????? | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | lol | 00:46 |
| a555 | lol | 00:46 |
| sschultz | cool - thanks sebsebseb and tc111 | 00:46 |
| a555 | for real man | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | a555: loasd of nice IRC clients for Linux | 00:46 |
| a555 | this irc client sucks | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | a555: Xchat and Konversation are two examples | 00:46 |
| a555 | best one i have found was konversation | 00:46 |
| nightrid3r | a555 try kvirc | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | a555: Chatzilla Firefox addon, and there are others | 00:47 |
| tehfalcon | pidgin is pretty decent with irc | 00:47 |
| a555 | but it does not have a option for socks5 that i seen | 00:47 |
| cbane | is there an official way to set stuff under /sys on boot, like /etc/sysctl.conf sets stuff under /proc/sys? | 00:47 |
| a555 | i may have to check out chatzilla | 00:47 |
| * bruce89 would have thought xchat-gnome would use GNOME's proxy settings | 00:47 | |
| cbane | i've got something in /etc/rc.local for now, but i'd like something a bit cleaner | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | a555: it may be a bit limiting in a way compared to other clients, but either way it is nice | 00:47 |
| a555 | it is free :-) | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | of course | 00:48 |
| a555 | and open source | 00:48 |
| dale1v | err i have a weird problem with my cpu. i have an intel core duo, and one core is at 100% cpu usage, and another is at 0% | 00:48 |
| LordFDisk | a555, Xchat has Socks5 under Network setup | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | chatzilla is open source I think yeah | 00:48 |
| tokies | is there a way to create short cuts on ubuntu for "hard drives" | 00:48 |
| bruce89 | !irc | 00:48 |

| dale1v | looking at my processes, xorg is using 30% cpu | 00:48 |
| dale1v | and thats it | 00:49 |
| kadii | sebsebseb, got any solution for my problem http://pastebin.com/m1d44c1d7 ? | 00:49 |
| tc111 | a555: Accounts -> 'Your IRC Account' -> Edit Account -> Advanced Tab -> Proxy Type -> Socks5 | 00:49 |
| tc111 | a555: in pidgin... its what i use | 00:49 |
| tehfalcon | i love the pidgin psychic mode :) | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | kadii: ok aptitude deals better with dependanices than apt-get | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | kadii: sudo aptitude install programname | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | try that | 00:50 |
| tehfalcon | it always freaks out my friends when i say what? before they even write | 00:50 |
| a555 | in xchat i did edit > preferences > networks > AccessIRC > edit > ..no option from there for socks5 | 00:51 |

| huggintime | this is dylan | 00:54 |
| AngryElf | looks like -- used: 411, free: 1104 | 00:54 |
| AngryElf | "-/+ buffers/cache" runs into where the total might be | 00:54 |
| cbane | AngryElf: so you have 1104 MB free | 00:54 |
| sebsebseb | kadii: ok insall the depandencies and try your program again | 00:54 |
| drcrazy | bruce89: your saying apt-get it ? (sounds right ?) | 00:54 |
| sebsebseb | kadii: install the programs that it wants | 00:55 |
| cbane | AngryElf: the rest is being used to cache stuff from your hard drive, and other things like that | 00:55 |
| bruce89 | drcrazy: well, I prefer aptitude, but yup | 00:55 |
| AngryElf | cbane: it feels like the first line -- 1516/1390/125 total/used/freer | 00:55 |
| cbane | AngryElf: it will be released if anything actually needs the memory | 00:55 |
| huggintime | i need compiz who can help | 00:55 |

| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 00:55 |
| sebsebseb | !apt-get | 00:55 |
| drcrazy | oh | 00:55 |
| sebsebseb | !aptitude | 00:55 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 00:55 |

| huggintime | jk | 00:56 |
| drcrazy | is aptitude really better ? (does it do unknown stuff in your back ?) | 00:56 |
| bruce89 | no | 00:56 |

| drcrazy | k | 00:56 |

| drcrazy | euh :P | 00:56 |
| sebsebseb | I was not abusing the bot | 00:56 |
| * drcrazy is confused | 00:56 | |
| lfaraone | drcrazy: it installs all "recommends" | 00:56 |
| sebsebseb | I was getting the bot to tell them about apt and aptitude | 00:56 |
| bruce89 | lfaraone: so does apt-get now | 00:57 |
| levander | How do I tell which distribution I'm using? E.g., Hardy, Gusty, etc.. | 00:57 |
| tritium | drcrazy: it's simply a matter of how they handle the "recommended" packages. They handle true dependencies the same way. | 00:57 |
| lfaraone | sebsebseb: I know, but I was just telling huggintime what command to use | 00:57 |
| lfaraone | bruce89: ... since when? | 00:57 |
| tritium | levander: lsb_release -a | 00:57 |
| bruce89 | levlsb_release -a | 00:57 |
| bruce89 | lfaraone: some time now | 00:57 |
| sebsebseb | drcrazy: for big things like xubuntu-desktop :) or kubuntu-desktop if you like, you should aptitude them | 00:57 |
| drcrazy | im waiting for the verdict if apt-get handles it as well :) | 00:57 |
| * bruce89 has configured aptitude to not install recommends | 00:57 | |
| sebsebseb | drcrazy: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop | 00:57 |
| tehfalcon | why there's a 5.8 MB folder in mozilla firefox named Chrome? | 00:57 |
| drcrazy | sebsebseb: understood for Gui stuff :) | 00:57 |
| sebsebseb | drcrazy: for smaller things apt-get is usualley fine | 00:58 |
| drcrazy | but i'm not on X | 00:58 |
| huggintime | #yooph | 00:58 |
| tritium | sebsebseb: there is no signficant difference | 00:58 |
| lfaraone | tehfalcon: it's the UI configuration etc | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | aptitude will say is this soloution good and you put yes or no | 00:58 |
| tehfalcon | oh, i see | 00:58 |
| bruce89 | drcrazy: if not already, you should use screen | 00:58 |
| lfaraone | tehfalcon: ask the FF people if you want the detailed answer, but just don't mess with it :) | 00:58 |
| drcrazy | so for pnm2ppa, apt-get should do fine, right ? :P | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | apparnatlly apt-get is deprecated or maybe that's just Debian | 00:58 |
| drcrazy | bruce89: i'm always on remote, sorry :) | 00:58 |
| bruce89 | doesn't matter | 00:58 |

| kadii | sebsebseb, problem i remove everything when i reinstall something it give me unpacking exim4-daemon-light and i remove it already | 00:59 |
| drcrazy | humm | 00:59 |
| tehfalcon | lfaraone: i'm on ubuntu and i'm trying to import the bookmarks from vista | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | kadii: what is exim4 anyway? | 00:59 |
| tywashere | Hello? | 00:59 |
| lfaraone | tehfalcon: hehe... | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | tehfalcon: you can on installation, but after that nope | 00:59 |
| cbane | sebsebseb: it's a mail server | 00:59 |
| drcrazy | bruce89: i'll check to see what it does more than putty !? | 01:00 |

| tywashere | Can I get some help? o_o | 01:00 |
| tehfalcon | :( | 01:00 |
| bruce89 | drcrazy: it's just that you disappeared to do something and then came back | 01:00 |
| kadii | sebsebseb, it come with sendmail server | 01:00 |
| lfaraone | thehardman: but you'd have to copy the file over to ubuntu first. | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | tehfalcon: ,but you can access your vista partition and get your bookmarks from it | 01:00 |
| lfaraone | thehardman: what sebsebseb said | 01:00 |
| VilasBoas | Hy i need a litle help i have a "Intel PRO/wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter" and i cn't use my wireless because ubuntu tells "wireless is disabled" even if i put another pci it gives the same error "wireless is disabled" :( | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | tywashere: help with what? | 01:00 |
| tehfalcon | yes... | 01:00 |
| Scunizi | drcrazy: if you are remoting into machines and using ssh you NEED to learn screen.. easy to use and crazy useful | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | 01:00 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:00 |
| tehfalcon | how do i get them? | 01:00 |
| tritium | drcrazy: see here: http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/i386/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html#pkgmgmt | 01:00 |
| tehfalcon | i have already mounted the partition | 01:00 |
| tehfalcon | but where do i have too look in my firefox folder? | 01:00 |
| CloCkWeRX | alright; I am vastly confused about security certificates. I want to install a new certificate, so when I wget https://migs.mastercard.com.au/ I don't have to --no-check-certificate. Everything I have googled so far has told me to install firefox and click on things. This is a server, without firefox. what do I want to google next? | 01:00 |
| drcrazy | thanks tritium | 01:01 |
| tritium | drcrazy: sure. So, sebsebseb is right in that debian is now recommending aptitude over apt-get. | 01:01 |
| dale1v | does anyone why one of my 2 cpus are taking all the load | 01:01 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as Sniper | ||
| cbane | CloCkWeRX: you download the certificate file, put it in /etc/ssl/certs, cd to that dir, and run "c_rehash" as root | 01:01 |
| drcrazy | tritium: but their comparing it to dselect !? is that the same as apt-get ? | 01:01 |
| === Sniper is now known as TheSniper | ||
| CloCkWeRX | cbane: thanks | 01:01 |
| tehfalcon | teh sounds better... | 01:02 |
| cbane | CloCkWeRX: at least, that should work | 01:02 |
| tywashere | Well, Ive got a couple of problems :P I need to access my backup drive (Which is what I installed wubi on) And It's only showing my main drive (C:\ [I usually use XP]) I want to access my files for half life 2 and such, and the other issue is the face that my volume control wheel controls something, but not my audigy SE X3 | 01:02 |
| kadii | sebsebseb, give me usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: exim4-config is broken or not fully installed | 01:02 |
| kadii | how i can fix the broken ? | 01:02 |
| porter1 | Any PHP users on ubuntu here knw how to turn error reporting on? PHP5 on ubuntu refuses to report any errors | 01:02 |
| TheSniper | Anyone who'd like to check my grub config file for errors? | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | tehfalcon: bookmarks.html or it's a sq light database | 01:02 |
| bruce89 | kadii: start aptitude, and see what's wrong | 01:02 |
| TheSniper | porter1: Something in php.ini? | 01:02 |
| tritium | drcrazy: dselect is different (a higher-level interface) | 01:02 |
| drcrazy | k k | 01:02 |
| drcrazy | trying aptitude :P | 01:02 |
| TheSniper | porter1: Tried searching for error in it? | 01:02 |
| drcrazy | wow, an interface | 01:03 |
| tehfalcon | there;s a bookmarks.html inside profiles but it only contains the default bookmarks | 01:03 |
| drcrazy | nice, installed packages etc.. :D | 01:03 |
| drcrazy | thanks | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | drcrazy: yeah it can run in terminal, and you can just do command for aptitude | 01:03 |
| porter1 | TheSniper, it doesn't report errors in browser or in my specified log | 01:03 |
| tritium | drcrazy: yes, but you can use it just like apt-get (sudo aptitude install foo), etc. | 01:03 |
| cbane | tehfalcon: is there a places.sqlite? | 01:03 |
| drcrazy | yup yup, get it :) | 01:03 |
| porter1 | Or even in error.log for apache | 01:03 |
| drcrazy | was just looking :) | 01:03 |
| tritium | drcrazy: i.e., no need to use that interface you're seeing | 01:03 |
| tehfalcon | cbane: where? | 01:03 |

| tehfalcon | cbane: i'll search there right away | 01:06 |

| bruce89 | kadii: that's why aptitude is so great | 01:09 |
| drcrazy_away | If I wanna just keep my system up to date with aptitude, I do : update and after full-upgrade ? | 01:09 |
| tacosarecool | I just want it to burn like iTunes keeps all the lyrics in when burning | 01:09 |
| cbane | drcrazy_away: you do "aptitude update" first, then "aptitude full-upgrade" | 01:09 |
| drcrazy_away | k | 01:09 |
| bruce89 | drcrazy_away: probably better with safe-upgrade actually | 01:09 |
| drcrazy_away | prfect | 01:09 |
| bruce89 | doesn't remove stuff | 01:09 |
| drcrazy_away | really ? | 01:09 |
| drcrazy_away | humm | 01:10 |
| drcrazy_away | how bad can it get ? hehe | 01:10 |
| drcrazy_away | as for example, python2.3 gets removed ? | 01:10 |
| drcrazy_away | cuz it becomes too obsolute ? | 01:10 |
| huggintime | that comand didnt work | 01:11 |
| bruce89 | if you want to do a big upgrade, you just start aptitude and have a look | 01:11 |
| cbane | drcrazy_away: stuff will only get removed if it's marked as auto-installed, and nothing depends on it anymore | 01:11 |
| TheSniper | My GRUB menu file uses uuid entries(same id for all of them), and as far as I can tell(ls /dev/disk/by-uuid) the id value is ok. But I still get error #17, ie Can't mount parrtition. Any guesses? | 01:11 |

| crdlb | zaapiel: yes | 01:11 |
| nightrid3r | zaapiel yup | 01:11 |
| jpablanche | p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Re-setup the kernel module by executing | 01:12 |
| jpablanche | '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' | 01:12 |

| huggintime | can some one help me get it | 01:12 |
| bruce89 | crdlb: actually, normal ones are only 1.5 | 01:12 |
| crdlb | bruce89: I mean desktop LTS | 01:12 |
| Unislash | huggintime: i got it through synaptic | 01:12 |
| TheSniper | cbane: ext3 yes, self.. Well, I guess you could say that | 01:13 |
| tritium | zaapiel: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty, nightly builds, and ext4 | 01:13 |
| drcrazy_away | wiii, its upgrading apache lol, fun | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | kadii: I'll take a tiny bit of credit please :D since I was the one to mention aptitude first to you and so point you in that direction :) | 01:13 |

| _jet__ | bruce89: I didin't choose to install 1194 packages.... | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | jpablanche: first of all you put on Virtualbox OSE????? | 01:17 |
| cbane | you can use "tune2fs <device> | grep 'Inode size:'" to see what the inode size is on the fs in question | 01:17 |
| cbane | if it's anything but 128, you'll have to recreate the partition | 01:18 |

| Rainium_Isotope | well i really have linux mint.. | 01:20 |
| sebsebseb | Rainium_Isotope: ,but the Elive CD now that seems interesting, still not tried it | 01:20 |
| bruce89 | sebsebseb: interestingly, GNOME used to use Enlightenment | 01:21 |
| bruce89 | window manger | 01:21 |
| bruce89 | !enlightenment | 01:21 |
| ubottu | Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. | 01:21 |
| Rainium_Isotope | but what im really asking i guess is, if i download and install a deb package of enlightenment, will it keep my current window manager the same and enable me to switch to enlightenment at the login screen just like gnome kde or xfce? | 01:21 |
| sebsebseb | that's ashame I could help that guy with Virtualbox, but it seems the netsplit made him leave | 01:21 |

| cbane | TheSniper: if you're not booted into that system right now, you can do "umount <device>" to unmount it | 01:40 |
| cbane | TheSniper: if you are booted into that system, you'll have to boot from something else first | 01:40 |

| abe3k | guys, I'm using ubuntu 8.10 with the nvidia 180.22 drivers and the video sync to vblank isn't working even when I have it enabled from the nvidia settings manager, any help is appreciated | 01:43 |
| TheSniper | cbane: That did it, I'll reboot and reinstall now. Thanks a bunch :)! | 01:43 |
| cbane | abe3k: if you haven't gotten an answer by now, it's likely that nobody here knows how to help | 01:44 |
| tritium | abe3k: did you install nvidia-glx-180 from the ubuntu repositories, or install a download from nvidia.com? | 01:44 |
| serios | the package is exactly: linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-13-server | 01:44 |
| zaccour | after installing ubuntu 8.10 i applied the first set of updates. i restarted and my wired internet stopped working. how do i fix it? | 01:44 |

| MacM | those 2 grub links didnt help me at all, i still get Error 2 when trying to boot grub =( | 01:44 |
| cousteau | ok, Java works now | 01:44 |
| Leon_Nardella | danbhfive: 2.5.5 indeed fixes the problem. I just wanna know whether it's going to be backported to Intrepid. | 01:44 |
| TheSniper | Maybe I'll use something else other than grub in the future, but I'll leave that for tomorrow.. | 01:44 |
| pc | what the hell... my computer just shutdown while i was running a sudo make install for the wireless card....... | 01:44 |
| abe3k | <tritium> : I've compiled the driver myself | 01:44 |
| bruce89 | zaccour: !repeat | 01:45 |
| tritium | abe3k: please try the nvidia-glx-180 package, especially if you want support here. | 01:45 |
| thatryan | had problems yesterday with fresh install giving me error 18, so i go to start over today but cant even run a live cd anymore, gives same error! help please :) | 01:45 |
| zaccour | after installing ubuntu 8.10 i applied the first set of updates. i restarted and my wired internet stopped working. how do i fix it? | 01:45 |
| danbhfive | Leon_Nardella: check launchpad | 01:45 |
| pc | ubuntu, i am disappoint | 01:46 |
| Leon_Nardella | danbhfive: Could you point me to a more accurate url? Don't know where to look. | 01:46 |
| abe3k | <tritium> : unfortunately that package doesn't work with me and it tells me that no nvidia driver is installed, so I had to compile it manually | 01:46 |
| Stralytic | I'm getting the following error when I boot a system that had previously been working for years... RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 \n invalid compressed format (err=2) \n ... I've booted from a live cd and rebuilt the initrd, reinstalled the kernel image, but it still won't boot... can someone help? | 01:46 |
| Free0ne | Could someone tell me the command for changing the ownership and group of a directory? | 01:46 |
| danbhfive | Leon_Nardella: did you try searching launchpad.net? I suppose I could do it for you... | 01:46 |
| tritium | abe3k: what "tells you" that no driver is installed? | 01:47 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, type "ifconfig" at the command prompt | 01:47 |
| jpablanche | sebsebseb what is the next step to do after removing vbox OSE to the synaptic package | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | jpablanche: all OSE stuff is gone? | 01:47 |
| zaccour | im using 9.4 right now, do you recommend that i reinstall 8.10 and try ifconfig? | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | jpablanche: have you checked? | 01:47 |
| abe3k | <tritium> : the nvidia-settings | 01:48 |
| douche | Hello! | 01:48 |
| douche | What is the command to install apache | 01:48 |
| jpablanche | sebsebseb: ok ill double check it wait thanks | 01:48 |
| unop | Free0ne, chmod http://catcode.com/teachmod/ | 01:48 |
| braddcadd | douche, "sudo aptitude install apache2" | 01:48 |
| cousteau | wonder why Java uses a different font rendering than the rest of the programs | 01:48 |
| tritium | abe3k: which card do you have? 180 only supports certain cards. For example, my GeForce 6150 is not supported by 180 yet. | 01:48 |
| Darn | where can I download windows 7? | 01:49 |
| unop | cousteau, it has its own set of 'cross-platform' fonts - but java applications can use installed fonts | 01:49 |

| zaccour | is there a distro thats easy like ubuntu and fast like puppy or dsl? | 01:50 |
| douche | Thanks! | 01:50 |
| abe3k | <tritium> : my card is GeForce 7600 GS | 01:50 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, it will be very easy to get your wireless working again | 01:50 |
| xy|ox | zaccour, xubuntu | 01:50 |
| tritium | zaccour: try xubuntu, if you have old hardware | 01:50 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, let's troubleshoot | 01:50 |
| zaccour | not wireless, wired | 01:50 |
| Stralytic | I'm getting the following error when I boot a system that had previously been working for years... RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 \n invalid compressed format (err=2) \n ... I've booted from a live cd and rebuilt the initrd, reinstalled the kernel image, but it still won't boot... can someone help? | 01:51 |
| unop | zaccour, ubuntu can be customised to be 'lean' like those two. | 01:51 |
| zaccour | braddcadd, im gonna install 8.10 will you be on in for a couple hours? i need to update so it will be messed up so i can fix it | 01:51 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, what version are you running? | 01:51 |
| unop | Stralytic, did you chroot into your system before doing those things? | 01:51 |
| braddcadd | yes, i will be here | 01:51 |
| Stralytic | unop: yep | 01:52 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, I had trouble with some wired connections....but 8.10 fixed my problems | 01:52 |
| jpablanche | sebsebseb: why is it other virtual ose in the synaptic package cant remove? | 01:52 |
| zaccour | 8.10 is what i had trouble with, but 9.04 alpha is what im using now | 01:52 |
| drcrazy | back | 01:52 |
| unop | Stralytic, have you got any older kernels installed? if so, have you tried them? | 01:52 |
| zaccour | braddcadd, 8.10 is where my wired internet messed up. after the first update it stopped working | 01:52 |
| danbhfive | Leon_Nardella: https://bugs.launchpad.net/intrepid-backports/+bug/315760 probably the most informative of the bunch | 01:53 |
| Stralytic | unop: yep, they do the same thing | 01:53 |
| Free0ne | unop: Thanks =D | 01:53 |
| jpablanche | sebsebseb: ok what is the next step to do sir | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | jpablanche: ok OSE is completly gone? | 01:53 |
| drcrazy | i installed pnm2ppa for my HP DeskJet 710c, but now what ? Cups http://127.0.0.1:631 is still telling me no drivers are installed in the printers list. | 01:54 |
| amikrop | Hello. Which is the linux distribution that has the latest software? | 01:54 |
| zaccour | ok im gonna install 8.10 again, update, and come back. i might be a couple hours | 01:54 |
| wolter | hi | 01:54 |
| drcrazy | oh, maybe i can install it from within that site. | 01:54 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, (1) have you tried rebooting after the updates? (2) what does "ifconfig" give, (3) also try "route -n" at the terminal | 01:54 |
| jpablanche | i cant mark it for complete removal? | 01:54 |
| amikrop | (by default, enabled, in its main repositories, in use) | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | amikrop: Debain unstable has later software | 01:54 |
| wolter | i am having problems with my computer's playback control buttons. They are detected, but they control banshee no more. | 01:54 |
| zaccour | yes, it messed up after rebooting | 01:54 |
| MacM | oooooooooh he's booting ubuntu | 01:54 |
| MacM | :D | 01:54 |
| tritium | drcrazy: are there not native cups ppd files for your printer? | 01:54 |
| wolter | The mute button doesn't action the volumn mute niether. | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | jpablanche: pm me | 01:55 |
| zaccour | im thinking about just trying a different distro | 01:55 |
| danbhfive | amikrop: debian experimental or fedora I think. | 01:55 |
| amikrop | sebastien: generally, gentoo has later software than ubuntu? | 01:55 |
| sebsebseb | amikrop: yep I think so | 01:55 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, ok np | 01:55 |
| === root is now known as Guest32415 | ||
| zaccour | braddcadd, will you be here in about 2 hours? | 01:55 |
| amikrop | sebsebseb, danbhfive: ok | 01:55 |
| tritium | amikrop: ubuntu never gets too far behind, with releases every 6 months | 01:55 |
| drcrazy | tritium: not sure. just followed the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersHp page | 01:55 |
| bruce89 | out of interest, does anyone know a Fedora-like Debian based distro? | 01:55 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, there is a good chance i will be here | 01:55 |
| zaccour | braddcadd, actually, can you just tell me what update not to do? | 01:55 |
| unop | Stralytic, what did you use to rebuilt the initrd? | 01:55 |
| unop | rebuild* | 01:56 |
| zaccour | i need to know what update not to do so i dont mess it up | 01:56 |
| amikrop | tritium: it can get 5 months back, though | 01:56 |
| tritium | drcrazy: well, did you step through the process of adding a printer, and look for it? | 01:56 |
| Stralytic | unop: update-initramfs -k all -u | 01:56 |
| zaccour | what if i just install security updates? are the rest really important? | 01:56 |
| amikrop | tritium: * 5 months behind | 01:56 |
| tritium | amikrop: yes, but what of it? | 01:56 |
| amikrop | tritium: which is quite a long time | 01:56 |
| danbhfive | bruce89: what do you want from fedora? | 01:56 |
| drcrazy | tritium: i just did, and it found it.. now i wonder, did it need that pnm2paa package !?? | 01:56 |
| bruce89 | zaccour: the desktop-experience team think they are | 01:56 |
| === UdontKnow is now known as root | ||
| Stralytic | unop: and i can decompress the initrd from within the live cd, zcat /boot/initrd-version-blah | cpio -i | 01:56 |
| zaccour | oh ok | 01:56 |
| bruce89 | danbhfive: decent packages | 01:56 |
| tritium | drcrazy: not likely | 01:57 |
| zaccour | i guess i just need to know which update NOT to install so i dont mess up my wired internet | 01:57 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, i am not sure which update not to do. I am certain the problem could be fixed in less time than a full install | 01:57 |
| drcrazy | humm , ill try removing it | 01:57 |
| tritium | drcrazy: read the output of "apt-cache show pnm2ppa". I don't think you ever wanted that, really. | 01:57 |
| zaccour | actually right now im using 9.4 alpha | 01:57 |
| braddcadd | just get some info to help troubleshoot | 01:57 |
| trock | un73d^ch4o5 | 01:57 |
| Leon_Nardella | danbhfive: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/340151 This seems to be the one. | 01:57 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, ahhhhh that could be it | 01:57 |
| bruce89 | tritium: it sounds like an image converter, but it isn't | 01:58 |
| tritium | zaccour: 9.0r questions belong in #ubuntu+1, where there is a big fat warning that it can break your system, since it's still in alpha | 01:58 |
| zaccour | no, 9.04 fixed my wired internet | 01:58 |
| tritium | 9.04, even | 01:58 |
| unop | Stralytic, hmm, have you changed grub at all to pass any options to the kernel at boot? | 01:58 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, yeah i would reinstall to get back to 8.10 if you want stability | 01:58 |
| zaccour | 8.10 update messed up my wired internet, thats why i installed 9.04 | 01:58 |
| drcrazy | tritium: whats HP-GDI ? | 01:58 |
| mib | what tool can i use for gantt chart in ubuntu? | 01:58 |

| drcrazy | tritium: cuz, all the rest seems to refer to my printer a HP DeskJet 710c | 01:59 |
| zaccour | be back in a little while | 01:59 |
| === anyone is now known as Guest37766 | ||
| drcrazy | ill try removing it... hehe | 01:59 |
| danbhfive | Leon_Nardella: yep, thats it! | 01:59 |
| unop | Stralytic, where does /initrd.img point to? | 02:01 |
| drcrazy | seems to still find it ;) | 02:01 |
| drcrazy | if i get problems,.. ill lookup on that thing. | 02:01 |
| tritium | mib: planner | 02:01 |
| Stralytic | unop: grub tells it to use: initrd/boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-13-generic | 02:01 |
| Stralytic | unop: /initrd.img is a symlink to that file | 02:02 |
| unop | Stralytic, right, and the file exists right? symlinked correctly? ls -ld $(readlink -f /initrd.img) | 02:03 |
| Stralytic | unop: yep | 02:03 |
| mib | tritium: is planner able to support the display by Month? | 02:03 |
| drcrazy | username for CUPS ? which one is that ? | 02:03 |
| drcrazy | I just added the printer and it queries me : Username for CUPS: ? (is that a new login they want to create ? | 02:03 |
| unop | Stralytic, what does 'file -s' have to say about the image? | 02:03 |
| tritium | mib: I don't recall. It can't compare to MS Project yet, but hopefully one day. | 02:04 |
| Stralytic | unop: initrd.img-2.6.27-13-generic: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Wed Mar 11 23:13:33 2009 | 02:04 |
| Stralytic | unop: i can zcat the file and cpio -i and its contents are fine | 02:04 |
| mib | tritium: i remembered i try before on planner and it wasnt able to show the By Month | 02:04 |
| mib | any other tools other thna planner? | 02:04 |
| unop | Stralytic, yea, you mentioned | 02:04 |
| Unislash | can anyone help me with my iptable set up? i'm trying to run a LAMP server using ubuntu desktop | 02:05 |
| tritium | mib: that's not a common view | 02:05 |
| mib | so what did u reckon? | 02:05 |
| Stralytic | unop: doesn't make sense to me that it says it "invalid compressed format" when i can decompress it from the livecd | 02:05 |
| unop | Stralytic, hmm, odd - I can't think of why that'd be - a quick scour of the forums seems to indicate that the problem is only present in LiveCDs (usually due to a corrupt burn) .. and no, it doesn't make sense. | 02:06 |
| Unislash | my iptables are here: http://rafb.net/p/2Fdksy46.html and everything looks good to me, but things still aren't working (i have a rounter; i've forwarded ports 80, 8080, and 443, and i've got a static ip) | 02:06 |
| Nivenaya | Stralytic, what's your issue? Sorry, I just connected. | 02:06 |
| unop | Stralytic, but it could be the compression level (but i don't presume you've done anything like that, have you?) | 02:06 |
| Stralytic | unop: nope | 02:07 |
| kty | does anyone know if there is a way to install nautilus extensions somewhere in $HOME or subfolder therein, like $HOME/.gnome/nautilus* ? | 02:07 |
| sebsebseb | rachel: hello, want some Ubuntu help? | 02:07 |
| Stralytic | unop: maybe i could try a server kernel and see if it works | 02:07 |
| === rachel is now known as Guest46011 | ||
| Unislash | hehe^^^ | 02:07 |
| kty | oops, it should be $HOME/.gnom2/nautilus* | 02:07 |
| Nivenaya | kty: you could probably stick it wherever and then symlink the confs to wherever nautilus-extensions expects them to be. | 02:08 |
| Stralytic | unop: did you notice i am booting from a dmraid? is it possible the initrd is on the second disk and the kernel can't find it? | 02:08 |
| drcrazy | im wondering what it's asking me to enter "Username for CUPS:" views from w3c (at the bottom of the screen) | 02:08 |
| unop | Stralytic, well, maybe - but if you say all other kernels exhibit the same behaviour - i don't see how that'd help | 02:08 |
| drcrazy | views = viewed | 02:08 |
| kty | Nivenaya: symlink the confs? So I suppose there is a conf file that define where nautilus should look for its own extensions? | 02:09 |
| unop | Stralytic, good question - but /boot is on the first partition, right? | 02:09 |
| Nivenaya | kty: i would imagine so. if you check in synaptic you can actually get a full list of all the files installed by the package and I bet the conf is listed there somewhere. | 02:09 |
| kylefox | Will 'aptitude safe-upgrade' install security patches? | 02:10 |
| unop | kylefox, yes | 02:10 |
| Stralytic | unop: root@ubuntu:/# ls /dev/mapper/ \n controlisw_cfjihgegcf_Volume0isw_cfjihgegcf_Volume01 isw_cfjihgegcf_Volume02 | 02:10 |
| kylefox | unop: thanks :) | 02:10 |
| unop | kylefox, but aptitude update is recommended before that. | 02:10 |
| Unislash | does anyone have experience with iptables? | 02:10 |
| TomFromWkUp | Hi! I've just installed ubuntu to my computer. Now I want to run it without a monitor, as a server. But when I unplug the monitor it does not want to boot up to gnome... What could I do? | 02:10 |
| Stralytic | unop: Volume0 is the dmraid, 01 is the root fs, Volume02 is my swap | 02:10 |
| kty | Nivenaya: that is interesting. I should have checked dpkg -L stuffs. Thanks for the insight. | 02:11 |
| Nivenaya | Tom: your issue is what, that your system doesn't login automatically? | 02:11 |
| Nivenaya | kty: sure thing. | 02:11 |
| volrath | Hey, does anyone know of a way to make a bootable USB stick using a bootable ISO image? | 02:11 |
| Nivenaya | kty: would have suggested that if I had anticipated console-savvy. which maybe i should have since you were asking about nautilus-extensions :) | 02:11 |
| TomFromWkUp | Nivenaya: It is supposed to login automaticly, but the problem is that it does not boot up... I can'T access it via ssh either.. | 02:12 |
| unop | Stralytic, that doesn't really say much about /boot -- and usually you want to have /boot on a separate partition that isn't on a RAID or LVM scheme. | 02:12 |
| unop | Stralytic, mount | grep -i boot | 02:12 |
| tritium | volrath: System -> Administration -> Create a USB startup disk | 02:12 |
| Scunizi | What is the name of the last compiler command that makes a .deb.. it's used in place of sudo make install? | 02:12 |
| Nivenaya | TomFromWkUp, you might try a server distro of Ubuntu. Technically, I don't think Intrepid lets you SSH into the system unless it's logged in - that's how my laptop works. | 02:13 |
| drcrazy | anyone have a clue of what "Username for CUPS:" i'm talking about ? | 02:13 |
| directmind | bootable stick - Ijust saw anarticle on it yesterday but Idon have the link | 02:13 |
| unop | Scunizi, checkinstall ?? | 02:13 |
| kylefox | unop: will safe-upgrade apply updates to installed packages (such as postgres, for example?) | 02:13 |
| WebcamWonder | Does anyone have any guides to creating deb packages? | 02:13 |
| Scunizi | unop: yep.. thanks | 02:13 |
| Nivenaya | Kind of a mistake to have it set up that way IMHO, but eh. | 02:13 |
| volrath | tritium: it's not a ubuntu or a linux distro CD image | 02:13 |
| kty | Nivenaya: well, there are many ways that lead to what we sought, cli is one of them gui is one of them and web is yet another . . . don't worry . . . | 02:13 |
| Stralytic | unop: /boot isn't on its own partition, it's a directory on the dmraid root partition... which it has been booting off since... 6.04 i think | 02:13 |
| Scunizi | Nivenaya: TomFromWkUp ssh into a system works without having to log in.. it's a service that loads on startup | 02:13 |
| TomFromWkUp | Nivenaya but when I boot it up with a monitor it logs automatically and everything is fine. It's only when I unplug the monitor .. | 02:13 |
| unop | kylefox, well, if a newer version of an installed package is available in the repositories - the newer version (which has the security fixes perhaps) will be installed. | 02:14 |
| Nivenaya | Scunizi, that's all well and good but I can't SSH into my laptop - running Intrepid - until I've logged in. | 02:14 |
| tritium | WebcamWonder: see the MOTU packaging guide, or the debian new maintainer's guide | 02:14 |
| TomFromWkUp | I CAN'T boot up without a monitor attached... that's weird | 02:14 |
| slacker- | hi guys. I'm running ubuntu 8.10 and keep getting kernel bugs | 02:14 |
| TomFromWkUp | I'll check up my logs for errors | 02:14 |
| TomFromWkUp | Hum which logs should I look at? | 02:14 |
| slacker- | it says | 02:14 |
| slacker- | [1369713.678092] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff87f947da5088 | 02:15 |
| Nivenaya | TomFromWkUp, that IS pretty odd. if I had to guess X is trying to detect your monitor in a way that doesn't fail gracefully on your video card, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 02:15 |
| Nivenaya | ...actually, hm. that's not going to be much good because it'll be overwritten when you boot with monitor. | 02:15 |
| slacker- | followed by a list of loaded modules, a register dump and a call stack | 02:15 |
| Nivenaya | see if you've got a /var/log/Xorg.1.log | 02:15 |
| unop | Stralytic, hmm -that could be (if the initrd loads the right modules) - but that's one area I've not messed around much with. I'm not sure what I'd do at this point - perhaps ask someone else (##linux and #debian might have folk that might know what to do too). | 02:15 |
| slacker- | system is still running but load slowly increases. is there anything I can do before I reboot? | 02:16 |
| Stralytic | unop: ok, thanks for your help | 02:16 |
| huggintime | can some one help me do a one on one chat please | 02:16 |
| WebcamWonder | tritium: Awesome! Thanks! | 02:16 |
| tritium | WebcamWonder: sure | 02:16 |
| Titan8990 | !test | 02:16 |
| ubottu | sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. | 02:16 |
| kattollikisd | Hi, Is there is a program that let me put videos on my iPod? | 02:17 |
| kty | Nivenaya: well some research shows that the package nautilus does not seem to include any confs that might deal with extension folder, and it seems there is something like /lib/nautilus/extension-2.0, yet there is no such things as extension in ~/.gnome2/nautilus* and ~/.nautilus , so . . . I bet it could be rather hopeless anway . . . | 02:17 |
| drcrazy | is there a default CUPS password set in Ubuntu hardy ? | 02:17 |
| Nivenaya | TomFromWkUp, Aah! My bad. Try /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old | 02:17 |
| slacker- | looks like it's an xfs problem | 02:17 |
| huggintime | i need help with compiz can some one one on one chat | 02:17 |
| huggintime | please | 02:18 |
| Nivenaya | kty: that's pretty strange. maybe try running grep -R nautilus-extensions ~/ | 02:18 |
| drcrazy | or, do I have to set it up with lppasswd myself first ? | 02:19 |
| sanjud | drcrazy-> kindly read the first page of localhost:631 | 02:19 |
| Nivenaya | kty, and $ls -R ~/ | grep nautilus-extensions | 02:19 |
| volrath | Anyone know how to make a bootable USB stick of a windows install disk? | 02:19 |
| unop | kty, do nautilus extensions mean nautilus script too, by any chance? | 02:19 |
| Nivenaya | kty, pick through the results and maybe you'll find what you're looking for. | 02:19 |
| huggintime | nivenaya: can u help | 02:19 |
| WebcamWonder | tritium: Do you have any preference as to which of the guides should be followed? I am only trying to build deb packages for myself | 02:19 |
| drcrazy | oh, will check | 02:19 |
| RoastedTiresX | whos a genius with samba? | 02:19 |
| TomFromWkUp | Nivenaya, the last line is: (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" | 02:20 |
| DIFH-iceroot | RoastedTiresX: brasiliens | 02:20 |
| TomFromWkUp | But there's no apparent huge ERRORS | 02:20 |
| RoastedTiresX | is samba case sensitive? | 02:20 |
| huggintime | who now about compiz | 02:20 |
| RoastedTiresX | like the comments versus paths? | 02:20 |
| tritium | WebcamWonder: they should be quite consistent. I don't recall many conflicts between the two. Start with the ubuntu one, I'd suggest. | 02:20 |
| RoastedTiresX | My entire samba network isn't accessible from any user, and all I did was add a share and add comments to each share | 02:20 |
| TomFromWkUp | Nivenaya it's screaming about no mouse and keyboard, but nothing about the monitor, I'll pastebin the logs | 02:20 |
| WebcamWonder | tritium: Thanks again :) | 02:20 |
| tritium | No problem. | 02:20 |
| LogicFan | is there any way to auto-arrange program icons on gnome-panel? | 02:20 |
| sanjud | RoastedTiresX-> umm do you read a tutorial on how to setup a samba ? | 02:21 |
| Nivenaya | huggintime, if you explain your problem here there's a better chance that someone here will be able to help. | 02:21 |
| Nivenaya | TomFromWkUp, that's a good idea and what I was about to suggest. | 02:21 |
| RoastedTiresX | sanjud - I've used samba for 3 years, that's what confuses me over what int he world happened. | 02:21 |
| drcrazy | is there something on Hardy that makes the Hardrives to work constantly ? | 02:21 |
| Nivenaya | TomFromWkUp, out of curiosity what happens when you boot the system and then plug the monitor in? | 02:21 |
| sanjud | RoastedTiresX-> you restarted samba after you made your changes? | 02:22 |
| Nivenaya | drcrazy, it could be your swap partition. | 02:22 |
| RoastedTiresX | sanjud - via command line, yeah I did | 02:22 |
| RoastedTiresX | I've restartedt he samba daemon at least 20 times this evening | 02:22 |
| drcrazy | guess it could | 02:22 |
| TomFromWkUp | Nivenaya everything works fine, flawlessly. ssh, login, gnome, etc.. vnc too | 02:22 |
| huggintime | ok i think i need a driver for a ati redon 7000 to run comiz but i cant6 find one any where | 02:22 |
| drcrazy | but, none is used. | 02:22 |
| TomFromWkUp | Nivenaya: http://pastebin.com/m342f4d3e | 02:22 |
| RoastedTiresX | sanjud - I wanted to create a "spare" user with a spare on my samba drive, so taht way when I work on computers, I back data up to it and it doesnt get mixed in with my own personal backups. Then I tried to get fancy and add comments, and now none of my shares are acceissbl | 02:22 |
| x4d | Is there a plugin for Rhythmbox to show the id3 Comment tag? | 02:23 |
| drcrazy | i got a gig of free memory | 02:23 |
| huggintime | ok i think i need a driver for a diomand stealth ati redon 7000 to run comiz but i cant6 find one any where | 02:23 |
| Mike94287 | I'm trying to install the Pidgin Purple Plugin Pack but when I run ./configure after I cd to the directory I get this error: "configure: error: The intltool scripts were not found. Please install intltool." | 02:23 |
| Mike94287 | What should I do? | 02:23 |
| WebcamWonder | Another question: If I do the setup.py install <some_program>, what is a way to remove it? | 02:23 |
| kty | Nivenaya: interestingly, it does not seem to churn out any meaningful result; I may want to create a folder my self in this case . . . | 02:23 |
| WebcamWonder | Mike94287: sudo aptitude install build-essential, that command should fetch all the required programs | 02:24 |
| Nivenaya | TomFromWkUp, all that stuff works... even if you boot up without the monitor and add it later but -not- until you add the monitor? | 02:24 |
| Mike94287 | webcamwonder: Okay I'll try that, Thanks. | 02:24 |
| sanjud | RoastedTiresX-> does it shows up when you do smbclient -L //server -U user ? | 02:24 |
| huggintime | ok i think i need a driver for a diomand stealth ati redon 7000 to run comiz but i cant6 find one any where | 02:24 |
| WebcamWonder | !ati | huggintime | 02:24 |
| ubottu | huggintime: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:24 |
| TomFromWkUp | Nivenaya, it seems to freeze or stop somewhere. I then reboot with a monitor plugged in and it works. | 02:24 |
| RoastedTiresX | sanjud - run that command @ terminal?? | 02:25 |
| sanjud | RoastedTiresX-> yes | 02:25 |
| Nivenaya | TomFromWkUp, okay. one moment. | 02:25 |
| WebcamWonder | TomFromWkUp: You can plug your monitor in while your PC is running :) | 02:25 |
| Fudge | can the amd64 810 ubuntu run on 64bit p4 cpus | 02:26 |
| TomFromWkUp | WebcamWonder, it does not work either :S | 02:26 |
| supertanker | Hey, I'm having a bit of an issue putting Ubuntu on this old server | 02:26 |
| yoophglup__ | hey does anyone know how to get desktop sharing to work over the internet? | 02:26 |
| kty | Nivenaya: Thanks for you kindly advice. I would like to close the question right now and reask them in #gnome, as I guess they might have something like environment variables . . . | 02:26 |
| supertanker | A windows 98SE disk is detected by the SCSI bios as being bootable, but the Ubuntu disk is not, although they both say "A BOOTABLE DISK HAS BEEN DETECTED" | 02:26 |
| WebcamWonder | TomFromWkUp: That is oddly weird | 02:26 |
| supertanker | Any ideas? | 02:26 |
| RoastedTiresX | sanjud - why would a client machine be under "master"? | 02:27 |
| donerightit_com | yoophglup__: you have to modify the startup to auto-logon | 02:27 |
| sanjud | RoastedTiresX-> i dont know, i didnt set it up | 02:27 |
| donerightit_com | yoophglup__: then you have to modify either gnome or kde to have the password -- this is done by duplicating it on a diff local machine and copying the session info | 02:28 |
| donerightit_com | yoophglup__: then you have to restart the box to auto-logon and get it to start the session correctly... | 02:28 |
| donerightit_com | yoophglup__: all the details are available through google... I successfully did it last week | 02:29 |
| Fudge | anyone able to tell me if amd64bit edition runs on 64bit p4s | 02:29 |
| Nivenaya | kty: you got it. sorry i couldn't be of help. | 02:30 |
| TomFromWkUp | I'll check the other logs.. | 02:30 |
| drcrazy | test page printing failed :o/ | 02:30 |
| yoophglup__ | k | 02:30 |
| nellmathew | how come everytime i install windows - it works.. but i install grub afterwards and add windows to grub but it comes up as NTDLR missing?... i replace it in windows and then hal.exe is missing (but it's still there) | 02:30 |
| drcrazy | the error it gave me was: PID 6392 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip) stopped with status 1! | 02:31 |
| TomFromWkUp | Which log files logs the startup process? | 02:31 |
| drcrazy | maybe i do need that pnm2ppa thingny. | 02:31 |
| PerryArmstrong | hey can anyone help me with my printer problem. I am not able to print | 02:31 |
| themoebius | hey, how can I restart my sound server after it's crashed? | 02:31 |
| nellmathew | how should i install windows AFTER ubuntu and have it working (both ubuntu and windows in grub) | 02:32 |
| themoebius | theres just this constant stuttering right now. | 02:32 |
| themoebius | nellmathew: you would have to reinstall grub since windows will overwrite your boot record | 02:32 |
| Nivenaya | TomFromWkUp, a couple questions about the log output if I may - first, is that /var/log/Xorg.0.conf or /var/log/Xorg.conf.old? | 02:32 |
| drcrazy | That was it!!! | 02:32 |
| drcrazy | needed pnm2ppa installed. | 02:32 |
| themoebius | nellmathew: which you can do by booting by booting from the livecd | 02:32 |
| tritium | drcrazy: oops. ;) | 02:33 |
| drcrazy | it happens :D | 02:33 |
| drcrazy | i tried :) | 02:33 |
| drcrazy | now we both know :) | 02:33 |
| PerryArmstrong | hey can anyone help me with my printer problem. I am not able to print | 02:33 |
| TomFromWkUp | Nivenaya it's the .log.old | 02:33 |
| supertanker | Anyone have trouble installing Ubuntu with SCSI to an old Acer server? | 02:33 |
| drcrazy | PerryArmstrong, dont ask to ask.. just ask your question/problem | 02:33 |
| PerryArmstrong | i give the printer a job but it doesn't print | 02:34 |
| drcrazy | funny cups test page :) cute :) | 02:34 |
| nellmathew | themoebuis - so install windows first, and then ubuntu through livecd? | 02:34 |
| drcrazy | PerryArmstrong, it says the job fails ? | 02:34 |
| SineDeviance | hey all, i am having a serious issue | 02:34 |
| themoebius | nellmathew: yeah its easier to install windows first | 02:35 |
| PerryArmstrong | drcrazy; no i dont get any message...but it just doesn't print | 02:35 |
| nellmathew | alright thanks | 02:35 |
| bruce89 | nellmathew: you can install windows last if you wanted to, but you'd have to reinstall grub | 02:35 |
| drcrazy | PerryArmstrong: try checking your cups logs, at /var/logs/cups/error_log | 02:35 |
| Fezzler | Is Intrepid still the most current release? | 02:35 |
| SineDeviance | i want to run a lamp server. i'm trying to get apache to run on port 80. it cant | 02:35 |
| Nivenaya | TomFromWkUp, okay. the way it works is that when you boot, the log.old is deleted and Xorg.0.log is renamed to Xorg.0.log.old. so this log is only from the failed boot if you'd only booted successfully once. | 02:35 |
| Nivenaya | is this the case? | 02:35 |
| Nivenaya | (once after the most recent failed boot, that is.) | 02:36 |
| sanjud | SineDeviance-> any error spewed out? you looked in the apache config file? | 02:36 |
| drcrazy | now i need to get that printer to work from my windows machine :) | 02:36 |
| TomFromWkUp | Nivenaya: yep I gave you the defective log | 02:36 |
| drcrazy | ill find out how :D | 02:36 |
| themoebius | so anyone know how to restart sound server without logging out and back in? | 02:36 |
| SineDeviance | sanjud, there is one, yes. when i try to run the daemon i get this: (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 | 02:36 |
| rdw200169 | themoebius, you talking about pulseaudio? | 02:36 |
| MK13 | how do I remove the wine entries in the application menus? they were left there after uninstallation | 02:37 |
| nightrid3r | SineDeviance how did you run apache | 02:37 |
| sanjud | SineDeviance-> are you running it as regular user? | 02:37 |
| Cotowar | MK13, did you do sudo aptitude purge wine? | 02:37 |
| SineDeviance | nightrid3r, i am running it as a user, not root | 02:38 |
| rdw200169 | usually, on ubuntu, you run apache w/ /etc/init.d/apache2 | 02:38 |
| MK13 | nope, will try that, but what exactly does that command do? | 02:38 |
| PerryArmstrong | drcrazy; i checked it...it seems to be empty | 02:38 |
| nightrid3r | SineDeviance thats why, run it as root | 02:38 |
| supertanker | Do I need some sort of boot disk to install Ubuntu to a server with an Adaptec AIC-3880 SCSI adapter? | 02:38 |
| rdw200169 | well, 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2' | 02:38 |
| SineDeviance | nightrid3r, ok... uh how do i enable the root account in gOS? | 02:38 |
| SineDeviance | it's the same procedure as in ubuntu i'm guessing? | 02:38 |
| lstarnes | SineDeviance: you don't need to | 02:38 |
| nightrid3r | !root | SineDeviance | 02:38 |
| ubottu | SineDeviance: 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 | 02:38 |
| lstarnes | SineDeviance: use sudo | 02:38 |
| drcrazy | PerryArmstrong: do a test print page from your cups admin site: http://127.0.0.1:631 | 02:38 |
| SineDeviance | yes i will | 02:38 |
| SineDeviance | i can't use sudo | 02:39 |
| lstarnes | SineDeviance: why not? | 02:39 |
| SineDeviance | i installed the lamp with bitnami lampstack | 02:39 |
| SineDeviance | thats why | 02:39 |
| SineDeviance | it's installed in my home dir | 02:39 |
| SineDeviance | so when i run as sudo, it can't use the config files | 02:39 |
| WebcamWonder | In the Packaging guide (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#Packaging%20Tools), is the Pbuilder part completely separate from the building from source part, or is it a first step? | 02:40 |
| nightrid3r | !lamp | SineDeviance | 02:40 |
| ubottu | SineDeviance: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 02:40 |
| uzee2 | where can i check for failed user login attemps | 02:40 |
| PerryArmstrong | drcrazy; i just checked the completed jobs section ad it showed that whatever jobs i have given, it has put it up as completed | 02:40 |
| Cotowar | What does a kernel panic look like? | 02:40 |
| drcrazy | PerryArmstrong: im clueless :P | 02:40 |
| supertanker | Cotowar, a black screen of death, iirc. | 02:40 |
| Cotowar | thought so | 02:41 |
| supertanker | Only happened to me like twice. | 02:41 |
| PerryArmstrong | drcrazy; i tried test printing now...it didnt print | 02:41 |
| zaccour | hey im back | 02:41 |
| zaccour | braddcadd, you there? | 02:41 |
| Cotowar | occasionally my laptop goes completely unresponsive and the CAPS lock light blinks on and off. i have to hard restart | 02:42 |
| Cotowar | why is this? | 02:42 |
| smuikas | hello. I'm running fsck and it's prompting me: deleted inode ######## has zero dtime. fix? if I fix, will it fix things or render my hdd more corrupted? | 02:42 |
| zaccour | after the first updates on 8.10 my wired internet stops working. how do i fix this? | 02:43 |
| supertanker | This is quite weird | 02:43 |
| smuikas | first time manual fsck user :x | 02:43 |
| Nivenaya | TomFromWkUp, neat. It seems like X is starting fine, so I may be out of ideas. Although - have you tried the closed-source nvidia driver? it's vaguely possible that the nv driver chokes somewhere after xorg load when no monitor is present. | 02:43 |
| supertanker | When I have an Ubuntu boot CD in this server's CDROM, it freezes instead of booting; but a Win98CD works fine. | 02:43 |
| zaccour | i reinstalled ubuntu and i need to know which update NOT to install so i dont mess up my wired internet again | 02:43 |
| zaccour | can anyone help? | 02:44 |
| PerryArmstrong | i give the printer a job but it doesn't print can anyone help me out | 02:44 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: that's odd | 02:44 |
| zaccour | i know | 02:44 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: all the updates should be fine | 02:44 |
| drcrazy | PerryArmstrong: you mean, it prints (complete) but doesn't really print. | 02:44 |
| zaccour | yes, but after the first time i update the wired internet stops working | 02:44 |
| smuikas | perry get a printer that's not lazy? jk I don't know.. good luck :x | 02:44 |
| pogz | what is the counterpart application for limewire in ubuntu? | 02:45 |
| sebsebseb | pogz: Limewire lol use torrents or Frostwire instead | 02:45 |
| fearful | zaccour, did you do a clean update or just updated? | 02:45 |
| Stralytic | unop, hey... back... got it working... | 02:45 |
| zaccour | i installed ubuntu, updated, restarted, wireless stopped working | 02:45 |
| MK13 | zaccour: what wireless chipset do you use? | 02:46 |
| TomFromWkUp | Niveneya hum no, I'll try to install it. | 02:46 |
| zaccour | i dunno, its on a dell mini 9 | 02:46 |
| Stralytic | unop, turned out linux-image-2.6.27-13-generic is broken, and so is linux-image-2.6.27-12-generic, but linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic worked | 02:46 |
| MK13 | zaccour: and which is it, you have changed between saying ur wired and wireless ? | 02:46 |
| Stralytic | unop, i guess i should file a bug | 02:47 |
| zaccour | my wireless works just fine | 02:47 |
| zaccour | oops | 02:47 |
| zaccour | wired works just fine | 02:47 |
| TomFromWkUp | Nieveneya what's the package name? i dont rememebr it | 02:47 |
| zaccour | i mean wireless | 02:47 |
| zaccour | long day sorry | 02:47 |
| zaccour | wireless is ok, wired stops working after first update | 02:47 |
| roy_hobbs | Anyone know of a plugin for pidgin that allows people to share a drawing pad / whiteboard / whatever? | 02:47 |
| TomFromWkUp | I have xserver-xorg-video-v installed | 02:48 |
| WebcamWonder | roy_hobbs: Doesn't exist AFAIK | 02:48 |
| MK13 | zaccour: no problem, have you checked to make sure your /etc/network/interfaces doesn't get overwritten? | 02:48 |
| zaccour | MK13, how do i do that? | 02:48 |
| Fezzler | My wireless router seems to needed to be powered on and off a lot for laptop to connect? | 02:48 |
| roy_hobbs | WebcamWonder: do you know of any standalone applications that I can sketch something out live to a windows user? Possibly even a website? | 02:48 |
| TomFromWkUp | None are showing in Hardware Drivers | 02:49 |
| Maahes | are there known issues with all versions of the nvidia binaries and kernel 2.6.27-13 generic? | 02:49 |
| RoastedTiresX | sanjud - you still here man?> | 02:49 |
| WebcamWonder | roy_hobbs: aMsn recently started developing a handwriting plugin for the MSN protocol, but it is barely working. I think there are a few sites, let me google | 02:49 |
| zaccour | MK13, how do I make sure my /etc/network/interfaces doesn't get overwritten? | 02:49 |
| roy_hobbs | That's what I'm doing, googling | 02:50 |
| SineDeviance | hmm yeah that's not going to work, i need to share the mysql db | 02:50 |
| Maahes | because I am getting beyond evil interactions with it, like binary data with strings in german being overwritten on my config files | 02:50 |
| tacosarecool | how do I convert a mp3 to a wav without losing metadata | 02:50 |
| SineDeviance | is there any way i can give my default user access to port 80? | 02:50 |
| MK13 | zaccour: you could backup your current file - "sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.bkk" then restore after update "sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces.bkk /etc/network/interfaces" | 02:50 |
| PerryArmstrong | drcrazy; yes | 02:50 |
| zaccour | MK13, what will that do? | 02:50 |
| yusri | hi | 02:51 |
| LogicFan | is there anyway to auto-arrange gnome-panel icons? it seems they are always jumping around and require constant maintenance to keep organized | 02:51 |
| yusri | what i well do here | 02:51 |
| LogicFan | similar to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/16975/ | 02:51 |
| PerryArmstrong | drcrazy; i checked the completed jobs in the site you gave me and i found out that the jobs i gave last night were completed but infact it didnt print | 02:51 |
| MK13 | zaccour: backs up then restores the interface file, if that is getting written over, but you will need to check by eye to see if the update has changed it - "gedit /etc/network/interfaces" | 02:52 |
| drcrazy | PerryArmstrong: as i said, im clueless to that problem | 02:52 |
| funkyHat | Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work? :/ `echo "blah ljkds iewou" | sed -e 's/+/%2B/g'` | 02:52 |
| PerryArmstrong | drcrazy; i didnt install the driver, the driver was installed by default, so will reinstalling help? | 02:52 |
| MK13 | zaccour: and also check the list of updates' details to see what may interfere with your network connections | 02:52 |
| zaccour | MK what do i need to do right before and after updating? | 02:53 |
| jrib | funkyHat: what do you expect to happen? | 02:53 |
| drcrazy | PerryArmstrong: maybe !? | 02:53 |
| zaccour | MK13, what if i just install security updates? | 02:53 |
| Laundry | does anybody know about the error "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address" and why it's coming up when i try to do ifup | 02:53 |
| zaccour | MK13, im not sure what to look for in updates | 02:53 |
| funkyHat | jrib: well with that input string nothing, but it fails horribly instead | 02:53 |
| PerryArmstrong | drcrazy; do you know how to run it after downloading | 02:53 |

| funkyHat | mm I've just tried it on another host and it's fine... maybe it's zsh that's breaking it :/ | 02:54 |
| Raije | roy_hobbs, care to share? lol | 02:54 |
| PerryArmstrong | drcrazy; hey thank you for trying to help | 02:54 |
| jrib | funkyHat: I'm using zsh | 02:54 |
| O__o | how to add an admin user in terminal? | 02:54 |
| PerryArmstrong | i give the printer a job but it doesn't print can anyone help me out | 02:54 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: i'm looking up the name | 02:54 |
| jrib | O__o: sudo adduser NAME_OF_USER admin | 02:54 |
| O__o | adduser: The user 'NAME_OF_USER' does not exist. | 02:55 |
| funkyHat | jrib: oh, no looks like it's screen :/ after I switched to irssi and then back to the other window it's worked fine, it just seems to temporarily break the output :/ odd | 02:55 |
| O__o | do i do adduser NAME first? | 02:55 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: one is called istanbul, and one is called record my desktop. i definitely liked one more than the other, let me figure out which | 02:55 |
| jrib | funkyHat: erm, I'm also using screen | 02:55 |
| MK13 | zaccour: i wish i were on linux right now so I could check a few commands... but run the command "lspci | w | 02:55 |
| O__o | then adduser NAME admin ? | 02:55 |
| funkyHat | Maybe I have some broken settings in my .screenrc | 02:55 |
| Raije | roy_hobbs, haha thanks let me knwo and ill get that one | 02:55 |
| jrib | funkyHat: try « reset » and then again? | 02:55 |
| MK13 | zaccour: forget the last part of that message | 02:55 |
| zaccour | ok | 02:55 |
| jrib | !who | O__o | 02:56 |
| ubottu | O__o: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 02:56 |
| zaccour | ok ok | 02:56 |
| jrib | O__o: does the user not yet exist? | 02:56 |
| O__o | not yet exist | 02:56 |
| funkyHat | http://paste2.org/p/162282 | 02:56 |
| Nivenaya | TomFromWkUp, you running Intrepid? | 02:56 |
| jrib | O__o: then yes, you create him with « sudo adduser NAME_OF_USER » | 02:56 |
| O__o | wanna add an admin user call abc | 02:56 |
| O__o | sudo adduser abc? | 02:56 |
| zaccour | MK13, ok i ran lspci, what do i look for now? | 02:56 |
| O__o | then sudo adduser abc admin ? | 02:57 |
| jrib | O__o: yes | 02:57 |
| O__o | also can i do that in gui? | 02:57 |
| O__o | in preference? | 02:57 |
| jrib | O__o: system -> administration -> users and groups | 02:57 |
| musikgoat|main | admin -> users and groups | 02:57 |
| jrib | funkyHat: weird. Does it happen with different sed expressions? | 02:57 |
| O__o | is there a one line command do both? | 02:57 |
| zaccour | MK13, i ran lspci what do i do now? | 02:58 |
| MK13 | zaccour: run "lshw -C network" instead and post your results to a past bin | 02:58 |
| musikgoat|main | O__o: sudo adduser abc && sudo add user abc admin :-P | 02:58 |
| jrib | O__o: read « man adduser » or see what musikgoat|main said | 02:58 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop | 02:58 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: it works very nicely | 02:58 |
| Raije | gtk? | 02:59 |
| O__o | i man adduser already | 02:59 |
| TomFromWkUp | Nievenaya: yes | 02:59 |
| O__o | dont understand because there are not much examples there | 02:59 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: it saves to ogg though, so does istanbul as a matter of fact | 02:59 |
| funkyHat | jrib: it seems to be the % character that's making it happen | 02:59 |
| O__o | can i use admin as username? | 02:59 |
| bruce89 | theora | 02:59 |
| jrib | O__o: well if you read it, it will tell you about the --add_extra_groups switch | 02:59 |
| O__o | can i do sudo adduser admin admin? | 02:59 |
| Raije | roy_hobbs, okey thanks a lot.. I'll brb | 02:59 |
| O__o | jrib, i aint computer geek. those are not normal english | 02:59 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: yeah gtk-recordmydesktop you can just do recordmydesktop but it's nicer with the GUI because you can click on a window to record only that, or draw a box to record | 02:59 |
| gwark | my wireless doesnt work. Can i use the restricted driver included in fiesty fox for hardy heron?? i'll need a hand tho.... any help greatly apprecited | 03:00 |
| zaccour | MK13, it said i should run that program as a super user | 03:00 |
| MK13 | zaccour: then run - "sudo lshw -C network" | 03:01 |
| jrib | funkyHat: try with a cleas zshrc and screenrc I guess to see if those are the culprits | 03:01 |
| jrib | clean even | 03:01 |
| TomFromWkUp | Nivenaya, if you wanna see more logs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1092912 | 03:01 |
| jrib | O__o: but if you aren't willing to sit down and read a man page it begs the question why you want to use the command at all instead of just using the GUI | 03:01 |
| thelordmortis | how do i get logrotate to not rotate some logs for me ? | 03:02 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: actually, you know what, their almost identical, but i'm pretty sure it was RecordMyDesktop that I ended up appreciating more. | 03:02 |
| Azazel-AZ | help needed. School work due tomorrow and instructor is using .pptx which I have never seen before, and the web says open office can't read it. Is there anything for ubuntu? | 03:02 |
| jrib | Azazel-AZ: try google docs maybe | 03:03 |
| musikgoat|main | thelordmortis: you can move things out of /etc/logrotate.d/ | 03:03 |

| musikgoat|main | !paste | MK13 | 03:04 |

| musikgoat|main | sorry @zaccour | 03:04 |
| jtaji | Azazel-AZ: did you give it a try? because I tried a .docx with openoffice 2.4 recently and it worked | 03:04 |
| coreyman | javac: command not found. | 03:04 |
| coreyman | how do i fix this? | 03:04 |

| zaccour | mk http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m710a36be | 03:05 |
| huggintime_ | bruce89: how do i network conect to some els comp | 03:05 |
| coreyman | bruce89 could have sworn i already downloaded that | 03:05 |
| BlinkyToon | Azazel-AZ, try over in #Openoffice.org I have had no problem with other MS x files but have not had that PPTX yet | 03:05 |
| bruce89 | coreyman: sudo dpkg-reconfigure openjdk-6-jdk | 03:06 |
| Raije | roy_hobbs, hey, back, sorry, how do i stop it from recording? | 03:06 |
| Azazel-AZ | thanks | 03:06 |
| coreyman | bruce89 guess i didnt have it. | 03:06 |
| napple | what does actually consume my RAM: virtual, resident, writable, or shared memory. All of them show completely different values. I basically want to find out how many of my apps can run in parallel if I have X MB RAM. | 03:06 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: you see the icon in the notification area? | 03:06 |
| zaccour | MK13, i haven't updated yet, i need to know what i need to do before i do | 03:06 |
| bruce89 | coreyman: technically you should install default-jdk | 03:06 |
| Raije | roy_hobbs, yep haha thanks i got er | 03:06 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: i think one click pauses two clicks stops | 03:06 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, i'm here | 03:07 |
| zaccour | ok | 03:07 |
| Raije | roy_hobbs, what i can watch that file with, will vnc play that? | 03:07 |
| roy_hobbs | of course | 03:07 |
| === les_ is now known as les | ||
| funkyHat | jrib: yeah, seems to work fine with a clean zsh, I think it's my fancy preexec () that breaks :( | 03:07 |
| Raije | roy_hobbs, I just dislike that i can't fun it as root :( | 03:07 |
| zaccour | i just need to know how to keep the first update from messing up my wired internet | 03:07 |
| dermoth | Hi there. I'm trying to backport with prevu and it seems to be lacking documentation - anyone could point me to how I can use it on "customized" packages? I need to update dependencies | 03:07 |
| zaccour | it always does | 03:07 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: huh? | 03:07 |
| Raije | roy_hobbs, vlc, you can't rub that as root... | 03:07 |
| === les is now known as Guest97367 | ||
| roy_hobbs | Raije: i wasn' taware of that, but why would you want to? | 03:08 |
| zaccour | MK13, did ya get that link? | 03:08 |
| braddcadd | zaccour, i have no idea which one...can you give me a list? or can you select one package at a time until it crashes? or can you just not update? | 03:08 |
| bruce89 | dermoth: it isn't that easy | 03:08 |
| WebcamWonder | dermoth: Update dependencies? Modify the debian control file. Look for the MOTU packaging guide, or Debian's beginner's packaging guide | 03:08 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: vlc can convert, but if it's not too big, and not personal, i really like this website: http://www.mediaconverter.org/ | 03:08 |
| Raije | roy_hobbs, well I just have BT on my latop, I really only use it for pentesting / research / learning & watching movies late at night haha, so why reboot back to windows if i could do it in bt.. | 03:08 |
| zaccour | MK13, did ya get that pastebin? | 03:09 |
| bruce89 | dermoth: you download the package you want with dget | 03:09 |
| dermoth | bruce89, I build packages in the past | 03:09 |
| redheat | hi everyone | 03:09 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: i still don't understand your root issue, and what's BT? | 03:09 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: nope. missed it | 03:09 |
| com-7 | hay...... | 03:09 |
| bruce89 | dermoth: what do you mean by update dependencies? | 03:09 |
| dermoth | bruce89, I just need to know if I can use prevu on modified packages | 03:09 |
| Raije | roy_hobbs, sorry haha, my root issue is that if I download vlc, it won't let you run VLC from root account | 03:10 |
| bruce89 | oh | 03:10 |
| bruce89 | I don't think so | 03:10 |
| redheat | folks, I'm reinstallign Ubuntu 8.10 on my system and when the installation came to the part where I should I choose my partition, it showed all of my harddrives as unallocated? | 03:10 |
| redheat | can anyone help me with this problem | 03:10 |
| dermoth | bruce89, trying to backport and the upstream package require slightly higher version of core libs | 03:10 |
| roy_hobbs | raije yeah but why do you need to, you shouldn't need to | 03:10 |
| huggintime_ | bruce89: can u help | 03:10 |
| yi`zhi | hi everyone! | 03:10 |
| Raije | roy_hobbs, i have bt (a distro based on ubuntu) so it has no softwear for watching videos | 03:11 |
| zaccour | MK13, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m710a36be | 03:11 |
| dermoth | bruce89, I want to try to compile against the current ones | 03:11 |
| zaccour | MK13, did ya get it that time? | 03:11 |
| napple | what does actually consume my RAM: virtual, resident, writable, or shared memory. All of them show completely different values. I basically want to find out how many of my apps can run in parallel if I have X MB RAM. | 03:11 |
| bruce89 | dermoth: I'm not sure if pbuilder can take previously built packages as build dependencies | 03:11 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: what does bt stand for? | 03:11 |
| yi`zhi | i have a quick question. i have solid state drive and suppose the power becomes off suddenly (the plug is removed), what will be the effects on the computer? | 03:12 |
| Raije | roy_hobbs, BackTrack | 03:12 |
| musikgoat|main | Raije: is backtrack really based on ubuntu? | 03:12 |
| roy_hobbs | Raije: oh, i thought that was slackware derived | 03:12 |
| dermoth | bruce89, I'm talking about building the upstream package with the current (old) libs | 03:12 |
| Raije | musikgoat|main, the new one bt4 beta, i believe it is | 03:12 |
| Gartral1 | roy_hobbs: if your talking about OSes, BackTrack, in networking terms, it BitTorrent | 03:12 |
| musikgoat|main | Raije: have you asked in #remote-exploit? | 03:12 |
| drcrazy | Im almost all setup, but to get my windows to be able to use my CUPS printer, it seems that I get a 403 error when browsing the :631 site. | 03:13 |
| dermoth | bruce89, i'll look into pbuilder, thanks | 03:13 |
| musikgoat|main | as the question is more pertinent to that channel | 03:13 |
| bruce89 | dermoth: prevu is a frontend to pbuilder | 03:13 |
| zaccour | can anyone tell me how to keep the first update from making my wired internet stop working? | 03:13 |
| Zopiac | (using gnome-do) when I select an application (it is an executable script in a certain folder) it used to just run the program. now, randomly, it tries to open a script in a completely different folder! moved that script and when I select the script I do want, nothing happens. any suggestions? | 03:13 |
| === Guest97367 is now known as les | ||
| Raije | musikgoat|main, yea I have no-one was around and or answering, I really just need a ubuntu video player that can play .ogv files since I cannot run VLC as root | 03:13 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: congrats, u own a Broadcom wireless adapter, the same as me (also my name changed, it is now "MK13_" D:) | 03:13 |
| Gartral1 | evolution thinks NewYork time zone is UTC -4:00, BUG | 03:13 |
| roy_hobbs | raije http://www.mediaconverter.org/ | 03:14 |
| musikgoat|main | Raije: and totem doesn't play it? | 03:14 |
| zaccour | Raije, have ya tried totem-xine? its more stable than vlc from my experience | 03:14 |
| jtaji | Gartral1: it is right now, we are in DST | 03:14 |
| Raije | I'll try that right now. | 03:14 |
| jwoffenden | Hey everyone - I have an Ubuntu VPS and I need to give users access to the files in their home directories from OSX and Windows clients | 03:14 |
| bruce89 | Raije: what codecs are used? | 03:14 |
| jwoffenden | I don't want to resort to FTP | 03:14 |
| WebcamWonder | Raije: mplayer FTW! | 03:14 |
| jwoffenden | ideas for me? | 03:14 |
| zaccour | MK13, ok, what do i do to keep the updates from screwing up my wired internet? | 03:14 |
| yi`zhi | perhaps daylight savings, jtaji. | 03:14 |
| Gartral1 | jtaji: ohh, yea, they switch 2 days ago, my bad | 03:14 |
| jrib | jwoffenden: ssh | 03:15 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: smb/samba? | 03:15 |
| Azazel-AZ | thanks anyhow, and no I don't know if I'm the latest version but I'll check it tomorrow as the laptop will also have to be updated. Got to get back to school work | 03:15 |
| jwoffenden | NFS would be nice if I could work out some username/password auth, samba is a pain but if it's my best bet I'll do it, and SFTP requires 3rd party clients for mac and win | 03:15 |
| WebcamWonder | jwoffenden: sftp? They have free clients for both OS X and Windows | 03:15 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: jrib's suggestion is safest but slo | 03:15 |
| jrib | jwoffenden: not for mac | 03:15 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: which distro are you using? | 03:15 |
| zaccour | Ubuntu | 03:15 |
| jwoffenden | musikgoat|main: I agree but it still needs 3rd party clients | 03:15 |
| zaccour | 8.10 | 03:15 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: you've covered the options | 03:15 |
| tritium | MK13_: hopefully ubuntu, given the channel topic ;) | 03:15 |
| jwoffenden | musikgoat|main: I was afraid of that. So you favor SMB over NFS? | 03:16 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: NFS has less overhead than samba | 03:16 |
| jwoffenden | jrib: I haven't had any luck getting finder to talk with sftp | 03:16 |
| baz | i have a brand-new core i7 desktop with a 1gb 3d videocard and audio visualizations (like in totem when u play a song) are still jumpy - are visualizations meant to be run on mainframes only???????????? | 03:16 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: which equals faster transfers | 03:16 |
| jrib | jwoffenden: oh, maybe I'm wrong. I admit I use fugu. But you have scp/ssh in a shell by default anyway | 03:17 |
| jwoffenden | musikgoat|main: That's a bonus, but security is my main concern there. Is it easy to sync NFS's usernames/passwords with my unix ones? | 03:17 |
| zaccour | MK13, can you help me? | 03:17 |
| napple | what does actually consume my RAM: virtual, resident, writable, or shared memory. All of them show completely different values. I basically want to find out how many of my apps can run in parallel if I have X MB RAM. | 03:17 |
| MK13_ | I meant the numerical version :O | 03:17 |
| jwoffenden | jrib: yeah, I'm dealing with a bunch of artists and managers - even getting them to install fugu would result in griping | 03:17 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: sorry, cant say, haven't used unix in a while | 03:17 |
| bruce89 | napple: hopefully resident | 03:17 |
| jwoffenden | jrib: I want to avoid FTP to keep passwords from transmitting in plaintext | 03:18 |
| jwoffenden | musikgoat|main: by unix I mean their system accounts on the Linux machine | 03:18 |
| MK13_ | does any one know a way zaccour could easily get a text version of the available updates so I could check them for what messes up his wired internet? | 03:18 |
| drcrazy | am i missing the lppasswd command at this point, to be able to access the cups 631 site remotely ? | 03:18 |
| jwoffenden | musikgoat|main: so that, for instance, if I go in and change their password via SSH it's also changed for NFS | 03:18 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: what about webdav? i don't know if that is native to mac | 03:19 |
| jwoffenden | musikgoat|main: I haven't looked into that option | 03:19 |
| nanotube | jwoffenden: just joined, so haven't caught your whole discussion - but you can use sftp, to which gftp is a good frontend. | 03:19 |
| drcrazy | this is a possible solution if found, but I'm not sure it if there is too much addusers http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-407716.html and if lppasswd replaces those instructions. | 03:19 |
| tritium | MK13_: ah, you meant the release | 03:19 |
| jwoffenden | jrib: thanks for the suggestion though. I've been using SSH for all my linux to linux stuff and most of my linux to mac stuff at home :-) It's a pleasure | 03:19 |
| cjae | I thought gparted was fairly good | 03:19 |
| MK13_ | tritium: yeah | 03:19 |
| cjae | must be just from the live disk | 03:20 |
| cjae | disc | 03:20 |
| jwoffenden | nanotube: thanks for the suggestion - in this case a requirement I have is that Mac and Windows clients can connect without needing a 3rd party client | 03:20 |
| bruce89 | cjae: nice | 03:20 |
| jwoffenden | nanotube: so it's looking like SMB may be my only option. Sad. | 03:20 |
| * cjae bows | 03:20 | |
| nanotube | jwoffenden: ah mmm yea, i guess smb it is, then. or maybe nfs? can win/mac do nfs? | 03:20 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: i am checking out something, please bear w/ me ( i am working on dialup here) | 03:20 |
| jwoffenden | nanotube: mac can, but my searches are not looking good for Windows | 03:21 |
| zaccour | ok thanks | 03:21 |
| redheat | folks, again if anyone can help me with problem, while installing ubuntu 8.10 the partition on my hardrive, only one out of three harddrives is shown in its entirety as unallocated... | 03:21 |
| nanotube | jwoffenden: hmm... well good luck... :) | 03:21 |
| nanotube | jwoffenden: how about http? | 03:21 |
| TuGa | hello! | 03:21 |
| jwoffenden | nanotube: that's one thing everyone has, yes, but it's not quite as flexible as just being able to drag and drop a folder of 3,000 files and make it work | 03:22 |
| zaccour | redheat, did you try disconnecting the 2 that show, installing on the one remaining, then connecting the other 2 agand and try? | 03:22 |
| TuGa | i'm trying to install ubunto to a laptop that as 2 HDD | 03:22 |
| cjae | anyway trying to resize an external hd 500 GB down to 420 to make room for ps3 backup but gparted has been running an awful long time | 03:22 |
| jwoffenden | nanotube: part of the reason I'm setting this server up is that the company I just joined got tired of using http interfaces to share files, and is asking for ftp | 03:22 |
| nanotube | jwoffenden: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_File_Server | 03:22 |
| TuGa | i have walready created a partition ext3 on sda5 an a swap partition on sdb5 | 03:23 |
| jwoffenden | nanotube: reading - thanks | 03:23 |
| rodrigo23 | does anyone uses evolution in here? | 03:23 |
| cjae | shrink 500 ntfs to 420 ntfs and create new 70 whatever fat32 | 03:23 |
| TuGa | but wen it starts the wizard to install it doesnt let me pick the one i want. | 03:24 |
| TuGa | any ideia? | 03:24 |
| RoastedTiresX | is there any reason wy I can't use the username "spare" with samba? I tried to use spare and it wouldn't work. But when I created a new account matching "spare" 100% but named "spareagain" it worked just fine. Why is spare not usable?????????? | 03:24 |
| redheat | Folks, does Ubuntu support AHCI, in other words, SCSI? | 03:24 |
| drcrazy | nevermind, i just needed to fix the allow tags ;) | 03:24 |
| baz | it is very hard to copy a file into a folder by dragging thru nautlius, because unless the destination is empty, it will always want to be put into a subfolder of the destination - is there a trick to avoid this? | 03:24 |
| RoastedTiresX | redheat - I'm running AHCI now with Ubuntu 8.10 | 03:24 |
| * drcrazy smiles | 03:25 | |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: to answer your question earlier, the only auth info i can find regarding nfs is via kerberos, which can get tricky to implement, but is doable: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto as there is a PAM module that connects with krb | 03:25 |
| cjae | shouldn't take more than half an hours right | 03:25 |
| redheat | Roasted, Ubuntu reported my harddrive as unallocated don't know why? | 03:25 |
| RoastedTiresX | unallocated - did you format it? | 03:25 |
| WebcamWonder | baz: Drag into the whitespace? Alternatively you the commandline ;) | 03:25 |
| RoastedTiresX | unallocated means it doesn't have a file system on it | 03:25 |
| redheat | nope, | 03:25 |
| cjae | !ext4 | 03:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 | 03:25 |
| zaccour | if i install just the security updates will my system stay stable? | 03:25 |
| cjae | ! info ext4 | 03:25 |
| RoastedTiresX | redheat - is it an empty hard drive? Like do you have any data on it? | 03:25 |
| redheat | he can see the partitions, when I try it | 03:25 |
| tritium | cjae: that'll be available in jaunty | 03:26 |
| redheat | nope, it has partitions on it | 03:26 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: yeah, it should | 03:26 |
| cjae | !info ext4 | 03:26 |
| ubottu | Package ext4 does not exist in intrepid | 03:26 |
| * bruce89 has stopped ignoring ubottu | 03:26 | |
| bruce89 | !ext4 | 03:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 | 03:26 |
| zaccour | MK13, if i install just security updates will flash work fine? | 03:26 |
| cjae | tritium: tis stable in kernel now right? | 03:26 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: at least in respect to your wired | 03:26 |
| RoastedTiresX | redheat - what file system is on that hard drive... what partitions, etc | 03:26 |
| ksool_ | Is there anyway to stop network-manager-openvpn from clobbering the routes that are handed down from my openvpn server? | 03:26 |
| baz | WebcamWonder, the problem is when the destination is already full of folders... in windows u can find whitespace in between the folder - not in nautilus tho | 03:26 |
| tritium | cjae: I believe so. | 03:26 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: yea, I believe so | 03:26 |
| juan | how to get everything running | 03:26 |
| bruce89 | cjae: yes | 03:27 |
| juan | exit | 03:27 |
| WebcamWonder | baz: Depends on your view of nautilus... if you prefer the icons view with large icons, there is lots of free space | 03:27 |
| zaccour | ok im gonna keep xchat open and look to see if anyone messages me by occasionally looking for that red flash on the lower tab. if anyone messages me about this i will check and look. until then, security updates only it is | 03:27 |
| jwoffenden | musikgoat|main: Thanks for the link. Yeah I don't mind if it's hard for me to implement - I can go through the trouble. | 03:27 |
| baz | WebcamWonder, thats a good point, the view matters, i am a list kinda guy - my brain can't handle icon view quickly :) | 03:27 |
| jwoffenden | musikgoat|main: as long as it's brainless for the end user | 03:28 |
| === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz | ||
| Nivenaya | woffenden?! how dare you show your face here! | 03:28 |
| redheat | ok, I have 4 partition, three primaries, reserved for windows 7, another one for my current OS windws vista, and a third one for windows server 2008, all NTFS, and the fourth partition which is, of course, secondary, is divided into logical drives each of which is divided into three partitions and each has a ext3 partition along with a swap, I reserved them for my Linux OS | 03:28 |
| nanotube | jwoffenden: also consider webdav: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV | 03:28 |
| jwoffenden | Nivenaya: ?? | 03:28 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: as far as i remember about windows, nfs is supported with some unix_progs package that can be installed from the windows cd, or its installed by default in Pro versions, i think | 03:28 |
| RoastedTiresX | redheat - Ubuntu should recognize any file system that windows deals with, to my knowledge... especiallyw ith FAT32 and NTFS.... | 03:29 |
| RoastedTiresX | I don't see why it wouldn't pick up the drive. | 03:29 |
| jwoffenden | musikgoat|main: thanks :-) I was hoping that... I'm pretty sure most of them will have pro versions | 03:29 |
| zaccour | MK13_, thanks anyhow | 03:29 |
| jwoffenden | nanotube: HttpFS is rad.... | 03:29 |
| redheat | when I inserted the Ubuntu live CD and tried to install, I forgot to say, I have three harddrives, the other two are just for backups, and they all are conntected using AHCI, I have a gigabyt GA-965P | 03:29 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: no prob, I am still reseaching it | 03:29 |
| zaccour | MK13_, if you or anyone messages me i will see the red flash on the lower tab and will check it | 03:29 |
| redheat | exactly, that's my point RoastedTirex, and it gets weirder | 03:29 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden, nanotube: i'm liking this HFS too, i'm going to read more on it | 03:29 |
| jwoffenden | Nivenaya: you confused me :-) | 03:30 |
| zaccour | ok thanks me too | 03:30 |
| Nivenaya | jwoffenden, not hard. :) | 03:30 |
| jwoffenden | musikgoat|main: yeah, really. | 03:30 |
| nanotube | jwoffenden: musikgoat|main it's an interesting idea, if nothing else. :) | 03:30 |
| redheat | when i use the live CD as a live CD, I mean I don't install ubuntu, it sees all my partition on my harddrive, no problem at all only during the installation it tells my that my whole harddrives is unallocated? | 03:30 |
| reival | any one running a ubuntu on live usb on p4 with 2gb ram or so .. is it fast ? wana know if worth the effort :) | 03:31 |
| Nivenaya | redheat, is your drive NTFS? | 03:31 |
| LakesProse | can't understand difference between an daemon being standalone or 'integrated' | 03:31 |
| redheat | So I inserted Gparted live CD, and checked my harddrives, and guess what it reported the same thing, no parttion on my harddrives, Nienaya, it's a combination of NTFS and ext3 reserved for linux.. | 03:31 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: but it looks like a 3rd party software is needed to upload, the whole point of this endevour is for upload and download capabilities for the end users right? | 03:31 |
| Nivenaya | redheat, if so I'd assume that you've got some kind of filesystem error going on. Boot into windows and run chkdisk -f. | 03:31 |
| zaccour | MK13_, i am really disappointed in canonical for allowing this flawed update to be released | 03:32 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: in respect to that hfs | 03:32 |
| Nivenaya | redheat, ah. is the system still bootable? | 03:32 |
| tritium | zaccour: which flawed update? | 03:32 |
| redheat | anyhow, I inserted Opensuse 11.1 live CD, good idea I'll try that Nienaya..yeah, I 'm actually writing to you from it.. | 03:32 |
| jwoffenden | musikgoat|main: yep :( | 03:32 |
| musikgoat|main | Nivenaya: redheat its chkdsk | 03:32 |
| zaccour | tritium, the one that makes my wired internet stop working | 03:32 |
| redheat | now this is the weird part, the Opensuse 11.1 sees my partition during the installation with no problems at all.. | 03:32 |
| jwoffenden | musikgoat|main, nanotube - what do you think of samba tunneled over pptp? | 03:32 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: and you are sure it is the update doing it, has it done it with the same update more than once? | 03:32 |
| jwoffenden | cause I don't want to stick up an SMB share on the bare internet | 03:32 |
| jwoffenden | (for obvious reasons) | 03:32 |
| tritium | zaccour: do you have a bug number? We've not seen any reports of problems. | 03:33 |
| redheat | and Gparted reportes the same problem as Ubuntu..it is something that has to do with gparted? | 03:33 |
| zaccour | yes, it only does it after updating and rebooting | 03:33 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: ouch, transfer speeds will be crappy, and users would have to "tunnel" and disconnect unless routes were setup correctly | 03:33 |
| Nivenaya | musikgoat|main, right. Windows-fu is weak. | 03:33 |
| zaccour | thats why i reinstalled ubuntu, to figure out which one it is and uncheck it | 03:33 |
| jwoffenden | :( | 03:34 |
| * jwoffenden cries | 03:34 | |
| Nivenaya | oh, man up Jon. | 03:34 |
| RoastedTiresX | no, gparted shouldnt have a problem with it | 03:34 |
| nanotube | jwoffenden: can you just put the smb on the intranet, and have everyone from outside have to connect to the network with ipsec? that's how corporate setups do it - all remote access goes through an ipsec client that connects the remote user to the corporate lan, and then it's "as if" they are on the lan. | 03:34 |
| redheat | just don't know what to do? I'll try to run that check -f and see if it works, my thoughts too RoastedTireX, but I don't know why it's happening? | 03:34 |
| tritium | zaccour: are you certain an update is to blame? | 03:34 |
| jwoffenden | Alright well musikgoat|main, jrib, nanotube - thanks, sorry to chat and run but the cafe I'm at is shutting down | 03:34 |
| zaccour | yes | 03:34 |
| jwoffenden | Nivenaya: .... you're creeping me out :-) | 03:34 |
| musikgoat|main | jwoffenden: good luck | 03:35 |
| nanotube | jwoffenden: don't know off the top of my head... but i'm sure there are foss ipsec clients for just about any os. | 03:35 |
| zaccour | its just fine, until i reboot my computer after updating | 03:35 |
| nanotube | jwoffenden: good luck :) | 03:35 |
| Nivenaya | redheat, actually. hum! i think I had that problem once. is this an external drive or a PATA drive plugged in through a SATA converter? | 03:35 |
| zaccour | maybe i should install all updates then troubleshoot it from there? | 03:35 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: what exactly messes up (eg. network interface isn't detected anymore ( the lights don't flash), or it detects it but won't connect through it? | 03:35 |
| redheat | I mean why does it work underopnesuse, and it doesn't under gparted? and why did this happen when I operated all my SATA II connections to AHCI? | 03:35 |
| tritium | zaccour: but we've not seen any reports of problems. sounds like a very isolated case, unfortunately for you | 03:35 |
| tritium | Which NIC do you have? | 03:35 |
| zaccour | yeah | 03:36 |
| RoastedTiresX | when I had issues with AHCI it was when I didn't install Ubuntu AS AHCI | 03:36 |
| cjae | yeah gparted it done, now to see how slow ps3 dumps are | 03:36 |
| zaccour | im just gonna install security updates until the beta release comes out | 03:36 |
| RoastedTiresX | like I installed Ubuntu with legacy and switched over to AHCI and I had problems... so I did a fresh install with AHCI mode | 03:36 |
| RoastedTiresX | thats the only AHCI related issue I had... and this issue was the same when I ran XP too... | 03:36 |
| tritium | zaccour: beta? Are you running jaunty? | 03:36 |
| zaccour | i dont have this problem in 9.4 alpha, so it seems it is being fixed | 03:36 |
| zaccour | not right now | 03:36 |
| zaccour | i was, then i didnt have that problem | 03:36 |
| redheat | same here RoastedTiresX | 03:36 |
| Nivenaya | redheat, it seems likely to me that whatever two distros you're using handle your disk controller differently. | 03:36 |
| tritium | zaccour: which NIC? | 03:37 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: how exactly is the wired connect broken? | 03:37 |
| zaccour | it doesn't connect | 03:37 |
| redheat | exactly, one of them uses gparted, Ubuntu, the other opensuse uses something else.. | 03:37 |
| zaccour | its displayed, but won't connect | 03:37 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: but it IS detected still by the OS? | 03:37 |
| zaccour | MK13_, so it seems | 03:37 |
| tritium | zaccour: I've asked you twice now which NIC you have. | 03:37 |
| musikgoat|main | redheat: opensuse doesn't use gparted? o.O | 03:37 |
| zaccour | its probably just a simple command or script thing, just dont know what exactly | 03:37 |
| redheat | I'm thinking of doing this, revert back to normal SATA not AHCI, and then isntall Ubuntu, and then go back to AHCI, and see how it goes from there | 03:37 |
| zaccour | tritium, whats NIC? | 03:38 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: you should go ahead, update, then troubleshoot so the people helping you can know the symptoms | 03:38 |
| tritium | zaccour: network interface card | 03:38 |
| redheat | yeah, I think so musikgoatiman? | 03:38 |
| zaccour | i dont know | 03:38 |
| MK13_ | tritium: this is from zaccour -"http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m710a36be" | 03:38 |
| tritium | zaccour: lspci, or lshw -c network. Either one should tell you. | 03:38 |
| redheat | because the problem happened again when I inserted the gparted CD? it also reported my entire harddrive as unallocated | 03:38 |
| tritium | Thanks, MK13_. | 03:38 |
| MK13_ | tritium: np | 03:38 |
| musikgoat|main | redheat: interesting http://en.opensuse.org/Parted_Magic it looks like a front end to gparted anyways, both use libparted | 03:39 |
| tritium | zaccour: please paste your /etc/network/interfaces | 03:39 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: i think your settings just got messed up in ^^ that file | 03:39 |
| zaccour | tritium, how do i do that? | 03:39 |
| MK13_ | tritium: i already told him he should back that file up then replace after the update to see if that works | 03:40 |
| tritium | zaccour: cat /etc/network/interfaces, then paste as you did before | 03:40 |
| tritium | MK13_: ok, thanks. | 03:40 |
| tritium | zaccour: also, in the same paste, please include your /etc/resolv.conf | 03:40 |
| zaccour | tritium, do i type that in the terminal? | 03:40 |
| tritium | zaccour: yes | 03:40 |
| RoastedTiresX | Is there ANY reason at all why I wouldn't be able to use "Spare" as a useraccount with Samba??? | 03:40 |
| zaccour | how do i do it in the same paste? | 03:41 |
| redheat | musikgoatiman, I'm tlaking during the installation..? not as a package included how both of them handle my harddrive under AHCI differently, for examplke, gparted and Ubuntu's installer both saw my harddrive as unallocated, while opensuse saw it as it is,and I'm talking during the installation only, becauese if used ubuntu as a live CD, it sees all my partition as they are no changes and it reports them correctly | 03:41 |
| tritium | zaccour: cat /etc/resolv.conf, and just copy/paste it after the text you pasted for your /etc/network/interfaces | 03:41 |
| redheat | anyhow gonna try it again and see Nivenaya, RoastedTiresX, folks, thank you so much truly appreciate it.. | 03:42 |
| RoastedTiresX | no problem, good luck!! | 03:42 |
| zaccour | whats those commands again? | 03:43 |
| zaccour | i think i did it wrong it said command not found | 03:43 |
| tritium | zaccour: cat /etc/network/interfaces, and cat /etc/resolv.conf | 03:43 |
| zaccour | do i hit enter between the commands? | 03:43 |
| Patrick_O | Hello. I have a script I'm trying to run at start up. It starts three programs. I used the '&' character at the end of each line that starts a program so that the scipt would move on and start the others. This works fine If I run the script from the terminal. However, when it runs at boot up only the first job gets started and the next job won't begin until I end the first. Reading some tutorials, it seems as if 'job control' is no | 03:44 |
| Patrick_O | t active when I boot. What can I do to resolve this? | 03:44 |
| MK13_ | tritium, zaccour: these sound similar, but these are upgrades from 8.04 to 8.10 "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1081385" "http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/no-wired-internet-connection-in-ubuntu-8.10-684272/" | 03:44 |
| RoastedTiresX | no problem, good luck!! | 03:44 |
| RoastedTiresX | Is there ANY reason at all why I wouldn't be able to use "Spare" as a useraccount with Samba??? | 03:44 |

| CrazedLunatic | happened to me today | 03:49 |

| mrh | I have xarchiver | 03:49 |
| tritium | zaccour: your ethernet card is not configured in /etc/network/interfaces. How are you connected currently? Wireless? | 03:49 |
| zaccour | no | 03:49 |
| CrazedLunatic | I am on alltel with a USB modem | 03:49 |
| zaccour | tritium, i haven't installed the updates yet | 03:49 |
| mrh | according to the xarchiver, all was well with an operation | 03:49 |
| mrh | then | 03:49 |
| mrh | what do you know? I trusted it and emailed it off, and | 03:50 |
| mrh | the thing was empty | 03:50 |
| MK13_ | tritium: i think his wired network is currently working, it only stops after the update (he is at a clean install right now) | 03:50 |
| tritium | zaccour: you're using ethernet? Then it's something with network manager. | 03:50 |
| mrh | serious, something as silly as that turns into trouble? | 03:50 |
| tritium | zaccour: I'd configure your ethernet in /etc/network/interfaces | 03:50 |
| seamus_ | does anyone know how to get rid of the uuid naming schema and go back to using the /dev/sd* naming schema? | 03:50 |
| bruce89 | !uuid | 03:50 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 03:50 |
| zaccour | tritium, it works now, but if i inatall all the updates it wont | 03:50 |
| bruce89 | that apostrophe needs removed | 03:51 |
| tritium | zaccour: yes, I know. It's something with network manager. I'd bet on it working if you configure it manually in /etc/network/interfaces | 03:51 |
| seamus_ | the problem is not that the uuid names don't match, it just breaks on boot | 03:51 |
| FloridaGuy | is there any better docks then avant | 03:51 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: if you went ahead and updated right now, would you be able to use wireless to get back to irc? | 03:51 |
| sebsebseb | FloridaGuy: sure Cairo Dock | 03:52 |
| musikgoat|main | better is an opinion | 03:52 |
| bruce89 | !opinion | 03:52 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 03:52 |

| Feralwyn1 | hey folks. I installed ubuntu on my notebook with apache, everything is working fine except apache wont prompt for basic authentication when there is a .htaccess file with "AuthType Basic", auth_basic.load is in mods-enabled and shows up in phpinfo() | 03:56 |
| === bruce89 is now known as bruce89bot | ||
| seamus_ | so why can't i choose to use the standard /dev/ naming schema? | 03:56 |
| musikgoat|main | bruce89: spoken like a true bot :-) | 03:56 |
| Feralwyn1 | any ideas why im not getting prompted for basic auth? | 03:56 |
| musikgoat|main | Feralwyn1: you may get better answers in #apache if you don't get them here | 03:57 |

| bruce89bot | FloridaGuy: why do you think it's called AMD64? | 03:57 |
| kernel_script_ | hi,good night, somebody had sucess in compiling the new aptitude? I did everething required, i think it may be a mercurial problem, someone else tried? | 03:58 |
| scottsd | can you somehow have subgroups in linux? ie, I want A to be a subgroup of B so that all members of A are members of B. | 03:58 |
| wolter | will my system create a new syslog for each kernel panic? | 03:58 |
| zaccour | MK13_, yes i would | 03:58 |
| musikgoat|main | FloridaGuy: yes, amd 64 procs have true 64-bit support | 03:58 |
| FloridaGuy | bruce89bot, i remember when they 1st came out with 64 bit...some pc tec told me they wasent true 64 bit | 03:58 |
| myron | Has anyone here ever used tovid suite in ubuntu? | 03:59 |
| musikgoat|main | FloridaGuy: thats intel's 64 bit | 03:59 |
| FloridaGuy | ok | 03:59 |
| MK13_ | zaccour: then I would suggest updating, them let people troubleshoot with the information from the way the system is in a non-working state | 03:59 |
| bruce89bot | FloridaGuy: I suppose technically the memory addressing is only 48 bi | 03:59 |
| musikgoat|main | FloridaGuy: i think it was called em64t or something | 03:59 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | is there a program in ubuntu to burn avi files to regular mpeg format for dvd players to a dvd? | 03:59 |

| jtaji | fuzeboxsoftware: devede | 04:00 |
| FloridaGuy | i guess it would be 64 bit..if im runing ubuntu 64bbit version | 04:00 |
| myron | fuzeboxsoftware: I'm playing around with a couple right now tovid seemed very buggy, but so far fuocotools looks promising | 04:00 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | ty jtaji and myron | 04:01 |
| stormchas2000 | fuzebox have you tried K9copy | 04:01 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | so it will convert the avi file to be able to play on a dvd player: myron? | 04:01 |
| FloridaGuy | i cant find cairo in the repo | 04:01 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | havn't tried anything yet | 04:01 |
| bruce89bot | FloridaGuy: cairo is something else | 04:01 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | about to try devede now | 04:01 |
| stormchas2000 | i use k9copy to burn dvds | 04:02 |
| FloridaGuy | bruce89bot, what under a different name? | 04:02 |
| stormchas2000 | it does a pretty good job | 04:02 |

| SineDeviance | i have a terrible problem | 04:11 |
| bruce89bot | myron: it was probably ffmpeg actually | 04:11 |
| ^paradox^ | i looked thru synaptic but, no libdvdcss was installed and when i search for it i cant find it | 04:11 |
| tritium | illmortal: you might check here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam | 04:11 |
| ^paradox^ | help? lol | 04:11 |
| myron | yeah, I have used ffmpeg | 04:12 |
| tritium | ^paradox^: you need to get it from the medibuntu repository | 04:12 |
| myron | I was looking for something that would combine conversions and dvd burning into one. | 04:12 |
| ^paradox^ | tritium: will it fix the problem? | 04:12 |
| MK13 | tritium: did that other person get his wired connection fixed? | 04:12 |
| tritium | MK13: we worked on it, and he's rebooting now to test. | 04:13 |
| myron | That's when I found the fuocotools program | 04:13 |
| myron | I just installed it and I'm testing it now | 04:13 |
| bruce89bot | myron: $ ffmpeg -i my_video.avi -target dvd -aspect 16:9 -sameq my_dvd_video.mpg | 04:13 |
| MK13 | tritium: ok, i rebooted myself into ubuntu so I could be alittle bit more helpful | 04:13 |
| tritium | MK13: ok, thanks | 04:13 |
| bruce89bot | then use dvdauthor to write | 04:13 |

| bruce89bot | myron: ah | 04:15 |

| Ficthe | hi, I was helping a friend install Ubuntu on his iMac (a newer one, that carries an Intel chip), and I fell short of answers. Apparently there's a thing called "reFIt" - I was actually thinking that it was a bootloader.. but GRUB seemed to be running, so I suppose not. Anyway, is rEFIt something that I can survive without, or is it something I necessarily need while putting Ubuntu on an imac? | 04:25 |

| fuzeboxsoftware | mm...no | 04:29 |
| LynuxDevil | ck80: it's better to use the Update Manager, it installs packages in a special order or configures things in a special way | 04:30 |
| LynuxDevil | ck80: I know that | 04:30 |
| bruce89 | theeezy: do-release-upgrade or update-manager -d | 04:30 |

| myron | ajh2000: hows the mp3 going? | 04:47 |
| miloman3 | can any one answer | 04:47 |
| koshari | miloman3 whats the question | 04:47 |
| myron | miloman3: have you opened the terminal and run the command? | 04:47 |
| miloman3 | idk how or where to find it | 04:48 |
| base1O | applications > assosories > terminal | 04:48 |
| myron | miloman3: "alt + F2" type xterm | 04:48 |
| miloman3 | oh it under applications thanks | 04:48 |
| base1O | might as well drag and drop it into your task bar now because you will need to learn it alot more | 04:49 |
| myron | or set up a keyboard shortcut :) | 04:49 |

| BigMike | what can I do to stop ubuntu from locking up solid when I run a video player | 04:52 |
| miloman3 | ok now its saying i dont have the privileges even though im the only account and the admin | 04:52 |
| MK13 | BigMike: lots of lube | 04:52 |
| myron | BigMike: what is the terminal error message? | 04:52 |
| koshari | miloman3 you need to use sudo | 04:52 |
| BigMike | 10-W40? | 04:53 |
| miloman3 | ok | 04:53 |
| koshari | miloman3 you are attempting to accomplish a task as root | 04:53 |

| MK13 | BigMike: that should do :D | 04:53 |
| BigMike | no errrors lockd so hard I have to hold the button till it shuts down | 04:53 |
| base1O | do i have to copy and paste the name? | 04:53 |
| miloman3 | so putting in "dpkg --configure -a" doesnt work | 04:53 |
| myron | miloman3: no you have to use "sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 04:54 |
| miloman3 | ok thanks again' | 04:54 |
| myron | miloman3: no problem | 04:54 |
| base1O | what is miloman running? debian/ubuntu? | 04:55 |
| myron | ??? | 04:55 |
| myron | I assumed ubuntu since he's in the ubuntu channel | 04:55 |
| base1O | then it would be sudo apt-get install <whatever program> | 04:55 |
| BigMike | could that be a prob in the xorg.conf MK13? | 04:56 |
| myron | right, but he has to configure dpkg first, because his last install was interrupted | 04:56 |
| tritium | MK13: will you keep an eye out for zaccour? I have to head to bed. | 04:56 |
| base1O | or maybe i did not hear the whole convo oops | 04:56 |

| fuzeboxsoftware | i have already taken off my video driver down, because ubuntu couldn't handle it | 05:32 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | vista so far out performs ubuntu by a long shot | 05:32 |
| sixofour | well there is a little detial, i'm on kubuntu, but that channel is dead | 05:32 |
| bruce89 | well, use it | 05:32 |
| webdiscount | i mean i used wine to install office 2003 and it hides away some files | 05:32 |
| sixofour | baz | 05:32 |
| n2diy | bruce89, tab auto completion doesn't always work, your nick doesn't, tab chokes on the numerals. | 05:33 |
| gladiator | bruce89: where will the packages be in aptitude? there are installed packages, not installed, virtual and so on.. and there are thousands of them | 05:33 |
| fuzeboxsoftware | bruce89: well, want to use a linux distro, but ubuntu don't seem to be the one for me, might move to centOS | 05:33 |
| baz | webdiscount, did it actually work thru wine? | 05:33 |
| sixofour | i have two drives, one with kubuntu and one is ntfs, i need to split the ntfs into two parts, format one, copy a 9gb file onto it from the other half, then fromat that half and remove the partition | 05:33 |
| FaMott | fuze: Have you tried a different GUI? like Xubuntu? Which is lighter? | 05:33 |
| baz | sixofour, ah ok, let me think | 05:33 |
| myron | ajh2000: edit > select all > copy & upload it to pastebin then post the link here (make sure you select today's date) | 05:34 |
| myron | fuzeboxsoftware: are you wanting something for media editing? | 05:34 |
| doleyb | fuzeboxsoftware: i don't think switching distros will be a path to improvements.. | 05:34 |
| bruce89 | gladiator: why aren't you using gdebi or some such thing? | 05:34 |
| webdiscount | yeah it did only that cant sometimes see where they tranfer my downloaded or saved files | 05:34 |
| kindofabuzz | fuzeboxsoftware, try Crunchbang Linux, ubuntu using Openbox | 05:34 |
| gladiator | bruce89: whats that? | 05:34 |
| antares | someone nows about pcmcia cards???? | 05:34 |
| sixofour | i have gparted open, i'm just not sure how to do the rest @ baz | 05:35 |
| n2diy | fuseboxsoftware, good luck, you have loads of linux distros to choose from. | 05:35 |
| bruce89 | gladiator: or is this a cli environment? | 05:35 |
| kindofabuzz | hundreds | 05:35 |
| celeritas | FaMott: XFCE isn't a great deal lighter because you probably end up pulling in all the Gnome anyway from some random app | 05:35 |
| DaemonMDV | does anyone know if you can mount Ext4 noatime and writeback-only journal? | 05:35 |
| bruce89 | not that others make video transcoding any faster | 05:35 |
| sixofour | but the resize option is grey @ baz | 05:35 |
| webdiscount | what bother me is how to clean my system and improve its perfomance as earlier was | 05:36 |
| myron | fuzeboxsoftware: for media, try ubuntu studio or chainsaw linux | 05:36 |
| baz | sixofour, you want to mount an ntfs drive or resize a drive? | 05:36 |
| ajh2000 | myron: where is pastebin? is it part of xchat? | 05:36 |

| mf_417 | Hi, we have an internal Automation System that is web based (ajax+php), I wanna develop an extension fore firefox that periodically logs into our system and checks for new mail | 05:39 |
| baz | sixofour, so u have an existing ntfs partition that already has files on it? | 05:39 |
| mf_417 | when I call login.php from where files are (Same Origin) there is no problem | 05:39 |
| sixofour | yes | 05:39 |
| mf_417 | but when I try to fech mails by my client, I get this error: Access to restricted URI denied (NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI) | 05:39 |
| sixofour | its not a partition | 05:39 |
| sixofour | its a drive | 05:39 |
| n2diy | Flannel: is Xubuntu OT here? I know they have there own channel, but it is a little "lite"? | 05:39 |
| myron | I know it's off topic, its just, I have never had luck with it... Just curious... | 05:39 |
| baz | sixofour, right, same thing, and what do u mean by "remove" the second partiiotn when u copy the file? | 05:40 |
| sixofour | so that its one partition again | 05:40 |

| sixofour | only only spliting it so i can reformat it while saving the 9gb file at the same time ^^ | 05:40 |
| baz | sixofour, so u have 1 partition, you want to split it into 2 partitions then rejoin it back to one partitions, whats the point | 05:40 |
| Ignatius | n2diy: who? I must be a different Ignatius to the one you're thinking of | 05:40 |
| Flannel | n2diy: No, of course, they may have more luck in #xubuntu (if its XFCE specific). Obviously, a Xubuntu issue may very well be identical to the Ubuntu issue (if its package related or whatever). So, always best to enquire first. | 05:40 |
| sixofour | lol | 05:41 |
| sixofour | did you read my post baz? | 05:41 |

| puppypusher | sixofour: I've installed the DirectX Redistributable under Wine, and it now works. However, my framerate is horrible. OpenGL is not an option, as every registry and config.wtf tweak known to man does not get rid of artefacts and blackbox logins. Any ideas? | 05:53 |
| purentropy | It never gets to the Desktop so I can't type anything in terminal to see if it isn't recognizing some of the hardware... Any ideas? | 05:54 |
| sixofour | I myself don't puppypusher | 05:54 |
| puppypusher | Hrm. | 05:54 |
| n2diy | JDStone: research APM, automatic power management, it messys with my battery too, and I'm running a desktop. | 05:54 |
| sixofour | but i know its been played enough that there is a way to play with ogl, try #winehq | 05:54 |
| myron | JDStone: check the settings in power management? System > preferences > power management | 05:54 |
| puppypusher | sixofour, I've done everything they have said, including the actual registry fix for artefacting in OpenGL. It makes no difference. :P lol | 05:55 |

| puppypusher | Nope, not supported | 06:00 |

| puppypusher | DirectX9 under Wine | 06:07 |
| sixofour | oh | 06:07 |
| puppypusher | Installing the DirectX9 under Wine is what got my WoW working. | 06:07 |
| puppypusher | Now I just need my framerates good | 06:07 |

| puppypusher | Is there a WoW channel? | 06:10 |
| sixofour | probably not on freenode | 06:10 |
| puppypusher | Hmm. | 06:10 |
| puppypusher | Apparently people can't ever get DirectX working under Wine, and I did. So...no one knows how to help solve framerate issues lol | 06:11 |

| purentropy | zykotic: I can see how it can be an IDE error. Let me explain. | 06:19 |
| sixofour | so i found my data drive in dolphin its "new volume" and its mounted as such, but when i click it, it asks for sudo then does nothing | 06:19 |
| n2diy | purentropy: roger that. I tried to dual boot Hardy on XP recently, with no luck. | 06:20 |
| m1chael | i got an asus eeepc netbook... it's got windows xp on it.. i'd like to dual boot with it... i read that there are some issues with hardware... anyone have an eeepc 1000ha ? | 06:20 |
| puppypusher | Anyone running WoW in WINE using DirectX, not OpenGL? | 06:20 |
| jtaji | m1chael: I don't have one (yet) but you might want to also ask in #eeepc | 06:21 |
| doleyb | m1chael: I've heard the trouble is maybe ubuntu's atheros driver doesn't work right with the eepc's wireless chip. But you can install a newer driver than ubuntu has, | 06:22 |
| purentropy | zykotic: I had to remove 'quiet splash' from the boot optoins. i replaced it with 'noapic nolapic nosplash' -- which got me to a system HANG at the line i typed before. If i also enter 'all_generic_ide' -- I get to [ 102.101170] sd 6:0:0:3: [sdd] Attached SCSI Removal Disk | 06:23 |
| scotlfs | Hey I gotta question for a develop if there is one here that knows Wine and about compiling wine on Intrepid. I need Xlib/Xfree86 packages, I however don't know which package provides those resources | 06:23 |

| puppypusher | Anyone running WoW in Wine using DirectX? | 06:24 |
| purentropy | so i went ahead an assumed the IDE error and just forced it to do IDE even though i had SATA just to try to get to the Desktop to run Terminal Commands. | 06:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | puppypusher, i certainly don't mean to start an argument, but I'm pretty sure that wine is still using OpenGL, even though you have DirectX installed, I've even gotten a game which requires DX10 to work with wine - but your still not really using DirectX to render things, it's going through an OpenGL translation I'm pretty sure. | 06:24 |
| purentropy | Zykotic: so the first error occurrs without the 'all_generic_ide', the one i just posted, [ 102.101170] sd 6:0:0:3: [sdd] Attached SCSI Removal Disk... occurs when i use it. | 06:24 |
| purentropy | Zykotic: either way I cannot get to the LIveCD Desktop. | 06:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | purentropy, what sort of system are you using here? | 06:25 |
| n2diy | purentropy: you can run terminal commands without the desktop. | 06:25 |
| puppypusher | Allow me to clarify: I've installed DirectX9.0C redistrubatble under Wine. | 06:25 |
| mercutio22 | ZykoticK9> why do you think so? | 06:25 |
| puppypusher | And am using it, and not the -OpenGL option under Wine. | 06:25 |
| jtaji | scotlfs: 'apt-get build-dep wine' should get you every lib you need to build it | 06:25 |
| purentropy | Wine uses OpenGL | 06:25 |
| scotlfs | jtaji, thanks | 06:25 |
| puppypusher | Okay....let me clarify further... | 06:26 |
| mercutio22 | purentropy> in spite of installing directx in wine? | 06:26 |
| purentropy | n2diy: how? | 06:26 |
| sebsebseb | puppypusher: you want to be able to play Directx 10 games in Ubuntu? | 06:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | mercutio22, why do i think what? the OpenGL thing? I don't really think that DirectX under wine has direct access to the hardware, I believe that there is some sort of OpenGL translation going on under wine. I could be wrong. | 06:26 |
| purentropy | mercurtio: actually you make a good point. | 06:26 |
| puppypusher | You can run WoW in Wine two ways: DirectX, or OpenGL. Most people force WoW to run in OpenGL in order for it to work. For me, it doesn't. But does when I set it to use DirectX9 for Wow. But my framerate is trash. | 06:26 |
| jtaji | scotlfs: also if you just need the latest build, winehq has a repo for ubuntu | 06:26 |
| sebsebseb | purentropy: you want to be able to play DIrectx 10 games in Ubuntu? | 06:26 |
| puppypusher | No, no DirectX 10. Just DirectX9 with WoW in Wine. | 06:27 |

| puppypusher | Not necessarily, mgolisch. | 06:41 |
| mgolisch | sure | 06:41 |
| mgolisch | the gpu is way too weak | 06:41 |
| puppypusher | My card does support OpenGL, and have ran plenty of OpenGL applications with it. | 06:41 |
| n2diy | mgolisch: what is gnu? | 06:41 |
| plus91 | if emerald nò try more 'heavy but beautiful | 06:41 |
| mgolisch | n2diy: its not unix i guess | 06:41 |
| mgolisch | :) | 06:42 |
| puppypusher | I'm not arguing that it's weak, but I do say that an Operating System is not a GPU. | 06:42 |
| plus91 | gnu=linux is very operating system | 06:42 |
| plus91 | no WIndows | 06:42 |
| plus91 | ! | 06:42 |
| puppypusher | So, the GPU should still be....a GPU regardless of wether I run Linux or Windows. So there is no reason why my video card should handle OpenGL any differently in Linux than it does in Windows. | 06:42 |
| n2diy | mgolisch: close, "gnu is not linux" But what does gnu have to do with linux, besides Unix? | 06:42 |
| puppypusher | Changing operating systems shouldn't affect the physical capabilities of my hardware. That's a bunch of bunk. | 06:43 |
| mgolisch | its basicaly what all linux distros borrow their userland from | 06:44 |
| mgolisch | they all use ports of the gnu operatingsystems userland toos to linux | 06:44 |
| mgolisch | tools | 06:44 |
| n2diy | puppypusher: what is a GPU? | 06:44 |
| koshari | plus91 emerald with reflections liooks very nice. | 06:44 |
| puppypusher | Graphical Processing Unit. | 06:45 |
| n2diy | puppypusher: so if one operating system can work with the GPU, and the other one can't, you don't think you'd see a change in system performance? | 06:45 |
| plus91 | koshari :D:D:D But many wasted resources | 06:46 |
| puppypusher | Oh no, I sure can. But when both operating systems can use the same two different graphics technology.... | 06:46 |
| puppypusher | Well, you get it :P | 06:46 |
| mgolisch | they cant | 06:47 |
| mgolisch | linux cant do anything with dx | 06:47 |
| plus91 | n2diy :D google is your friend :D | 06:47 |
| puppypusher | There is no reason why my GPU would be weak in Linux, but more than strong enough in Windows...unless of course, Linux is a resource hog...OR, as the case is...my setup isn't configured correctly. | 06:47 |
| n2diy | puppypusher: no I don' get it, some OSes have drivers, and some don't. | 06:47 |
| magnetron | puppypusher→ it's a matter of drivers | 06:47 |
| n2diy | plus91: ??? | 06:47 |
| puppypusher | Yes. And I have drivers. | 06:47 |
| puppypusher | They are all installed, without a problem. | 06:48 |
| mgolisch | still linux cant do anything with dx | 06:48 |
| magnetron | puppypusher→ that's not the issue. | 06:48 |
| puppypusher | It can under Wine, mgolisch. | 06:48 |
| mgolisch | no | 06:48 |
| plus91 | asked why the thing was still sorry for the GPU | 06:48 |
| puppypusher | Have you never been able to install Dx under Wine? lol........ | 06:48 |
| mgolisch | wine basicaly rebuilds stubs of the dll librarys in which they use opengl stuff internal | 06:48 |
| magnetron | puppypusher→ you thought that your GPU did most of the work... actually most things happen in the driver | 06:49 |
| mgolisch | it basicaly translates dx functions calls in something they think is the equivalent in opengl | 06:49 |
| puppypusher | If that is the case, why would I need to differentiate between OpenGl and DirectX9 in my config? | 06:49 |
| mgolisch | you cant realy compare that | 06:49 |
| puppypusher | So, if my OpenGL is broken, or doesn't work... | 06:49 |
| puppypusher | How come it works just fine in "DirectX"? :P | 06:49 |
| magnetron | puppypusher→ no. you misunderstand it | 06:49 |
| magnetron | puppypusher→ you could try asking in #winehq too, you'll get the same answer | 06:50 |
| puppypusher | That's fine. But what I am saying, out of the 1,000 WoW/Wine Wiki's there are on the internet, there is a differentiation between running WoW in OpenGL, OR DirectX. | 06:50 |
| puppypusher | Otherwise, it wouldn't have me configure it for either/or. | 06:51 |

| piyushchandraind | n2di : sorry, i was away for some time.. | 06:58 |
| n2diy | mgolisch: what is dx mode? | 06:58 |
| gloom_ | Here, xchat from the menu icon does nothing, and running it from terminal gives me: XChat CRITICAL *** default event text failed to build! | 06:58 |
| puppypusher | It's the supposed "DirectX" that doesn't exist in Linux, only OpenGl. | 06:58 |
| piyushchandraind | the cd is shipped from ubuntu, | 06:58 |
| magnetron | puppypusher→ for help with specific applications (like WoW), you'll need to ask in the #winehq channel. good luck | 06:58 |
| mgolisch | or get a faster cpu , or maybe both | 06:58 |
| gloom_ | sorry, not xchat, but xchat-gnome | 06:58 |
| Dezine | Hoe can I set my servers internal IP adress to be static? I'm behind a router and it keeps changing. | 06:59 |
| Dezine | How* | 06:59 |
| piyushchandraind | n2dy: i was asked to use boot commands like noapic, etc.. i tried alll but no use | 06:59 |
| mgolisch | puppypusher: the problem is just the wrapper libraries might not be optimal, whereas when the game uses opengl they can have it wrap 1:1 to the opengl api present in linux | 06:59 |
| magnetron | Dezine→ depends on your router | 06:59 |
| puppypusher | Now that makes 100% more sense. I can work with that. | 07:00 |
| gloom_ | anyway, not a big deal. | 07:00 |
| magnetron | puppypusher, mgolisch→ please take it to #winehq | 07:00 |
| n2diy | gloom_: how long have you been playing with Ubuntu/Linuux? | 07:00 |
| SilentJonathan | join #c | 07:00 |
| Dezine | I have a Linksys WRT54G router with custom firmware so whatever needs to be done shouldn't be an issue | 07:00 |
| mgolisch | so its less overhead and less possible mistakes and so on | 07:00 |
| puppypusher | Understood | 07:00 |
| magnetron | Dezine→ Consult the manual /support groups for that custom firmware | 07:00 |
| mgolisch | but #winehq can probably explain better | 07:01 |
| mgolisch | :) | 07:01 |
| puppypusher | :P | 07:01 |
| gloom_ | Does anyone know how to make the gnome network manager applet, to start always with the wlan off? everytime I log in, it starts looking for wlan networks automatically.... | 07:01 |
| jtaji | Dezine: the easiest way then is to set so-called "static DHCP" on your router, it can give the same IP to a machine based on MAC address | 07:01 |
| Dezine | What does that have to do with setting a static IP in Ubuntu? I doubt they'll be able to help. | 07:01 |
| n2diy | gloom_: right click on it? | 07:01 |

| rww | !contribute | LimeBurst | 07:02 |
| ubottu | LimeBurst: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate | 07:02 |
| gloom_ | n2diy, yeah I know how to disable the wlan adapter. But I want it to memorize the state, after a reboot. When the applet starts it automatically start the wlan device, and I think it shouldn't | 07:02 |
| gloom_ | n2diy, If I have the wlan disabled, and I reboot, I don't see why I have to disable it again. | 07:03 |
| erictus | screen -ls | 07:03 |
| n2diy | gloom_: roger that. research /etc/init | 07:04 |

| disappearedng | Hey is there a software engineering channel around? | 07:05 |
| n2diy | disappearedng: what language? | 07:05 |
| Titan8990 | disappearedng, there is a programming language for nearly every language | 07:05 |
| doleyb | disappearedng: there's ##workingset, but not exactly | 07:05 |
| LimeBurst | ok | 07:05 |
| LimeBurst | thanks | 07:05 |
| Titan8990 | disappearedng, err meant programming channel.... | 07:06 |
| n2diy | disappearedng: try #language, where language is what you want to engineer with. | 07:06 |
| clueneeded | Running ubuntu 8.10. I have a VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01). Goal: be able to have a choice of resolutions rather than the 640x480 installed by default. Already tried to go to "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" - got the screen for the keyboard settings, then it went back to the command line. Xserver... | 07:07 |
| clueneeded | ...did not bring up resolution adjustments. The driver will not install at all, even from the command line. Update Manager downloads 42 files, then does not list them and the "install updates" button is grayed out. After some research, I am finding that the solution might be to to re-edit the xorg.conf file and specify resolution. Questions: 1: is this true and 2: what exactly do I put... | 07:07 |
| disappearedng | just soft eng in generall | 07:07 |
| clueneeded | ...in the xorg.conf file for this particular video card? | 07:07 |
| FloodBot2 | clueneeded: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:07 |
| clueneeded | note: this is NOT nvidia we are talking about - plus some ancient generic monitor - in case that is relevant. :) | 07:08 |
| n2diy | clueneeded: are you aware of the ctrl+alt ++ and ctrl+alt+- keyboad commands? | 07:09 |
| clueneeded | nope | 07:09 |
| Titan8990 | clueneeded, usually not due to needing to add resolutions to xorg, usually means you need to specify a driver in xorg | 07:09 |
| clueneeded | n2diy - rather no... | 07:09 |
| sixofour | so i have a 160gb ntfs drive, i want to format it for ext3, but it has a 9gb file i need, so i need to juggle it by formating half the drive,moving the file, then formating the rest, gparted is finally able toresize the drive but i cannot access the ntfs part to copy the file :/ | 07:09 |
| Titan8990 | clueneeded, vesa (fallback drivers) have their limitations | 07:09 |
| ripps | Hey, does anybody know a good internet radio client (shout, last.fm, etc.) that I can just place in my system tray and forget about it? | 07:10 |
| Titan8990 | sixofour, no 2nd drive with 9gb of space? | 07:10 |
| sixofour | nope | 07:10 |
| sixofour | my OS drive is 8gb | 07:10 |
| Titan8990 | sixofour, lol is it a thumb drive? | 07:10 |
| sixofour | i couldn't resize the drive at first so i ran chkdsk and i can now | 07:10 |
| sixofour | its a hard drive | 07:10 |
| clueneeded | titan8990: what is the text that i am supposed to put in? | 07:10 |
| clueneeded | right now, it | 07:11 |
| Titan8990 | clueneeded, I have no idea which drivers that card needs but I can show you what the section needs to look like | 07:11 |
| clueneeded | titan8990: please do so | 07:11 |
| clueneeded | titan: since the drivers won't install anyway | 07:11 |
| piyushchandraind | when i run LiveCD it works partially and it opens something like DOS prompt saying.. "BusyBox v1.10.2 .......builtin shell(ash) Enter 'help' for a list of builtin commands.. (initramfs) _ | 07:12 |
| Titan8990 | clueneeded, they are installed, they just are not being loaded | 07:12 |
| clueneeded | titan: really | 07:12 |
| sixofour | so any ideas? | 07:12 |
| clueneeded | titan: i hope so :) | 07:12 |
| piyushchandraind | :-( | 07:12 |
| Titan8990 | clueneeded, if you have the xorg meta package (default) then you have all opensource graphics drivers | 07:12 |
| Meckin | Hey my borther thought it maybe funny to delete my usr/bin files. Anyone know how to reinstall them? | 07:12 |
| sixofour | ripps: any music player? | 07:12 |

| consoleart | hi all, i am using avant windows navigator and it seems to be very slow | 07:13 |
| clueneeded | titan: i understand that any intel vid card tends to be linux friendly... so that would make sense | 07:13 |
| ripps | sixofour: I just wanted something simple and lightweight | 07:13 |
| consoleart | is there any other navigator that i can use ? | 07:13 |
| consoleart | ubuntu 8.10 is the version iam using | 07:13 |
| clueneeded | so what verbiage do i paste into xorg? | 07:13 |
| Titan8990 | consoleart, you can try cairo dock | 07:13 |
| n2diy | consoleart: what kind of navigator? | 07:14 |
| consoleart | avant windows navigator | 07:14 |

| Titan8990 | clueneeded, no, you will likely have to boot into recovery mode and select "drop root shell" as often failure to load xserver will lock the machine up and ubuntu boots xserver on startup | 07:24 |
| sixofour | or use a livecd | 07:24 |
| Titan8990 | clueneeded, then you will do it from the recovery mode shell | 07:24 |
| clueneeded | titan: whatis the key sequence for recovery mode | 07:24 |
| clueneeded | to get that, i mean | 07:24 |
| Titan8990 | clueneeded, you select it from the grub menu | 07:24 |
| Titan8990 | clueneeded, if your grub menu is hidden, esc at the right time gives you the menu | 07:25 |

| Titan8990 | clueneeded, and I hope your not trying to use what I posted... that was just an example | 07:26 |

| clueneeded | typo | 07:27 |
| clueneeded | titan: if I am going to replace the "fglrx" with the exact driver name in quotes... | 07:28 |
| clueneeded | titan: then does this look like correct syntax? "Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)" | 07:29 |
| Titan8990 | clueneeded, not at all.... | 07:29 |

| Teng | Hey everytime i try and open a folder it has the loading icon then nothing happens, is there something wrong with Nautilus? | 07:38 |
| q0_0p | yeah | 07:38 |
| Amaranth | mythril: only time I've seen that happen is bad wifi router or bad wifi driver | 07:38 |
| bpb | Titan8990: because of the spaces? | 07:38 |
| q0_0p | it says eth0 is not ready | 07:38 |
| Titan8990 | bpb, because it lacks a -a or -r | 07:39 |
| mythril | Amaranth: I suspected my router already | 07:39 |
| Titan8990 | bpb, cp -ap or cp -rp | 07:39 |
| mythril | mythril: I have no way to confirm it though, because my router is my dsl modem | 07:39 |

| bpb | you dont need recrusive if you know the exact path | 07:39 |
| sixofour | i formatted half of it and the unformated half now works,, heh | 07:39 |
| mythril | Amaranth: lol, I just messaged myself | 07:39 |
| Amaranth | Brando753: that second link | 07:39 |
| Brando753 | Amaranth: dosent help ;( | 07:39 |
| Titan8990 | bpb, although -a alone may imply -p, either way, NTFS permissions mean absolutly nothing on a linux filesystem and vice-versa | 07:39 |
| Amaranth | mythril: yeah, dunno what to tell you there | 07:39 |
| Brando753 | Amaranth: 2nd link one sec | 07:40 |
| bpb | yeah, which is why it doesnt make sense that he cannot 'access' | 07:40 |
| bpb | not like there are permissions keeping him from seeing the file | 07:40 |
| bpb | if he sudo's and mounts properly, and the file isnt corrupt, should be able to | 07:40 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: still trying to get firestarter installed to check it out, my package database is a bit broken right now, gimme a minute | 07:40 |
| Titan8990 | bpb, well, by default they are given ownership to root | 07:40 |
| sixofour | i got it | 07:40 |
| mythril | Amaranth: thanks anyway | 07:40 |
| bpb | Titan8990: sudo would take care of that, which is probably why it works for him now | 07:41 |
| sixofour | hrm | 07:41 |
| Amaranth | mythril: when in doubt reset factory defaults | 07:41 |
| sixofour | sda1 works, but i just formated sda2 and it doesn't :/ | 07:41 |
| sixofour | it has the "expected a foldeR" error | 07:41 |
| sixofour | "found a file, expected a folder" | 07:41 |
| bpb | how bout runing a fsck -y on that partition if you have nothing to lose | 07:41 |
| Titan8990 | bpb, yep, also sometimes it works to give the mount command -o users: sudo mount -o users -t ntfs /dev/sdxx /media/morehere | 07:42 |
| Brando753 | anyway to download all those things via ftp? | 07:42 |
| sixofour | guys, i just cut the fiel i needed | 07:42 |
| sixofour | but the partition i am trying to paste it to doesn't work | 07:42 |
| sixofour | :/ | 07:42 |
| sixofour | the one i just made | 07:42 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: huh, firestarter changed, it looks like it'll actually setup all of this for you now | 07:42 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: and you don't need dhcp if you have a small network, just setup static IPs | 07:43 |
| sixofour | suppose i should mount it first | 07:43 |
| sixofour | ^^ | 07:43 |
| bpb | sixofour: where is the new partition mounted? | 07:43 |
| sixofour | its not lol | 07:43 |

| sixofour | how do i mount it? | 07:43 |
| q0_0p | no | 07:43 |
| q0_0p | oh | 07:43 |

| bpb | i believe | 07:44 |
| bpb | put a sudo in front | 07:44 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: it asks you which device is the one with internet, if it gets IP via DHCP, which device to use for sharing, and if it should setup DHCP | 07:44 |
| sixofour | what is /bleh ? | 07:44 |
| bpb | i usually do everything as root | 07:44 |
| q0_0p | this is through a switch | 07:44 |
| q0_0p | with no uplink port | 07:44 |
| bpb | bleh is whatever dir you want to mount it on... | 07:44 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: err, you have two network interfaces, right? | 07:44 |
| q0_0p | can i share my wifi | 07:44 |
| Amaranth | one is getting the connection you want to share, the other is sharing it, right? | 07:44 |
| q0_0p | through my eth? | 07:44 |

| bpb | sixofour: cd /mnt;mkdir /mnt/ext3;sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/ext3/ | 07:45 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: in the firestarter wizard choose wlan0 as the internet device and tick the DHCP checkbox and choose eth0 as the device to share it with | 07:45 |
| q0_0p | i dont have the DHCP checkbox | 07:46 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: very first screen of firestarter | 07:46 |
| sixofour | how do you paste in konsole? | 07:46 |
| q0_0p | i see the check enable internet connection sharing | 07:46 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: it wants to know your internet connected device, it gives you a list | 07:46 |

| sixofour | cd is not a command | 07:47 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: ok then, the page with the sharing box is what you're on? | 07:47 |
| q0_0p | i enabled internet connection sharing | 07:47 |

| Amaranth | q0_0p: check "Enable internet connection sharing" and choose eth0 | 07:47 |
| q0_0p | it has a tick for enable DHCP for local network | 07:47 |
| q0_0p | but it wont let me tick it | 07:47 |
| q0_0p | i've ticked enable internet connection sharing | 07:47 |
| bpb | sixofour: cd /mnt, then issue: sudo mkdir /mnt/ext3; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/ext3/ | 07:47 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: install the 'dhcp' package | 07:47 |
| q0_0p | o i c | 07:48 |
| q0_0p | thats wat im missing | 07:48 |
| q0_0p | so dnsmasq and ipmasq is unecessary? | 07:48 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: oops, it's dhcp3-server now | 07:48 |

| bpb | revilodraw: windows or linux? | 07:49 |
| q0_0p | should i change /etc/interfaces for eth0 for dhcp? | 07:49 |
| Titan8990 | revilodraw, update: possible, virus: no | 07:49 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: shouldn't change anything like that manually | 07:49 |
| q0_0p | ok | 07:50 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: looks like firestarter should set it all up for you | 07:50 |
| sixofour | you can't copy paste from one partition to another? | 07:50 |
| bpb | why not? i change stuff manually all the time | 07:50 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 07:50 |
| revilodraw | Titan8990: well is anyone else having this problem due to an update? | 07:50 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: that's fine, that means NetworkManager is managing the interfaces | 07:50 |
| bpb | revilodraw: sometimes its a simple thing like network, or issue in /etc/hosts that will cause X to be slow | 07:50 |
| sixofour | so both drivers now work, but i can't copy paste from one to another :/ | 07:50 |

| Titan8990 | sixofour, you don't get rid of the GUI and never use it again.... | 07:51 |
| k3pp0 | but not if i sumply fire "$iw" from command line | 07:51 |
| Titan8990 | sixofour, well, you can, but I don't recommend it | 07:52 |

| user_1989 | Good day gentlemen. I have ADSL based internet connection, line is always up and I did no configuration on both Vista and Ubuntu - I just load my operating system and internet connection is up without any tweaking. The problem is that I have installed Kubuntu day ago, and there is no internet connection when I load it. ifconfig returns eth0 wich is down, and doing ifconfig eth0 doesn't help. What's the problem? Still, there are no troubles on Vsita/ubuntu 8. | 07:54 |
| q0_0p | i did sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart | 07:54 |
| unop | Myrtti, $path would be something else now :) | 07:55 |
| q0_0p | wrong package? | 07:55 |

| q0_0p | oh | 07:55 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: yeah, seems things have changed since I did this last | 07:55 |
| Titan8990 | user_1989, any errors from: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ? | 07:55 |
| Myrtti | unop: since when? | 07:55 |
| Amaranth | bpb: no, he is trying to setup a server for internet connection sharing | 07:55 |
| user_1989 | ifconfig eth0 up <- I meant this one | 07:55 |
| q0_0p | aight i'll get dhcp-client | 07:55 |

| Rodrigo_Lopes | Titan8990, .. kde sucks. its same windows | 07:58 |
| k3pp0 | any hint? | 07:58 |
| q0_0p | eth0 timed out; and it gave me a new IP | 07:58 |

| Titan8990 | Rodrigo_Lopes, agreed, but gnome is better | 07:59 |
| koshari | narada try a blank p/w | 07:59 |
| narada | I tried | 07:59 |
| user_1989 | Rodrigo_Lopes: Is this a declaration of war to KDE users? | 07:59 |

| unop | k3pp0, does. type -a iw list more than one location for iw?? | 08:00 |
| koshari | narada so you set mysql up before installing phpmyadmin? | 08:00 |
| narada | what is KDE? is somthing like Vista, isn't? | 08:00 |

| bpb | revilodraw: my suggestion would be to maybe disable eth0 and see if X realizes there is no internet, also removing the IPV6 stuff in /etc/hosts probably wont hurt. Consult google "X windows slow when internet is not connected" | 08:00 |
| narada | @koshari : yes, (I think i did properly) | 08:00 |
| k3pp0 | unop, yep /usr/sbin and /usr/bin | 08:00 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | Titan8990, congragualtions...xfce.. dont steal ram in your system... | 08:00 |
| noren | i wanted to try lets say ubuntu 8.10 64bit how sud i go about | 08:00 |
| bpb | revilodraw: I told you from the beginning it was probably something network related | 08:00 |
| unop | k3pp0, and which location is first? :) (hint) | 08:01 |
| bpb | revilodraw: its almost like a bug if u ask me, not your fault | 08:01 |
| Myrtti | k3pp0: does it have a hashbang or is it executable? | 08:01 |
| Titan8990 | Rodrigo_Lopes, RAM is dirt cheap.... I use what I like | 08:01 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | user_1989, ..no im a peace boy.. but.. gnome and kde its a copy of windows.... and I dont like | 08:01 |
| k3pp0 | ok location /usr/bin is the recent one i added some minute ago, and is the one i want to use. | 08:02 |
| revilodraw | bpb: no, it's not network related, it was slow to open firefox once the internet was connected, but it ran firefox fine (same while the internet is disconnected) | 08:02 |
| Titan8990 | Rodrigo_Lopes, I do all my administration from the terminal, I'm willing to give up 1/4 of my RAM to some eyecandy for daily use | 08:02 |
| k3pp0 | problem is, to use newer version of iw i have to fire it as ./iw | 08:02 |
| unop | k3pp0, change $PATH around to have /usr/bin before /usr/sbin | 08:02 |
| user_1989 | Rodrigo_Lopes: Hm I found it very curious do reject some sort of software just because it looks like windows. | 08:02 |
| k3pp0 | instead of simply iw which launch old verson | 08:02 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: sorry, not finding anything useful (probably too tired) | 08:02 |
| Fudge | personal choice, even if its distastful | 08:02 |
| q0_0p | its all good | 08:02 |
| beli | hi, i got initramfs ata2 SRST failed (ERRNO=16) error on startup, any ideas? | 08:02 |
| Titan8990 | Rodrigo_Lopes, I use gentoo, and CPU is my primary limitation on all my machines (compiling) | 08:03 |
| bpb | revilodraw: so all x.org is slow when the network is connected? or just firefox | 08:03 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | :p good for you... ....but kde and gnome.. steal every my ram and I dont like...... | 08:03 |
| q0_0p | just wanted to mess with networks and try something new and learn | 08:03 |
| k3pp0 | unop, what if i simply delete iw from /usr/bin/? | 08:03 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: I did find out that if you run `sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/dhcpd3 /usr/sbin/dhcpd` firestarter lets you enable dhcp for sharing | 08:03 |
| revilodraw | bpb; would u be happy to post your /etc/hosts file in the pastebin? | 08:03 |
| yoyit2 | what the heck is the netx pp[ | 08:03 |
| q0_0p | sweet | 08:03 |
| unop | k3pp0, I thought that was where you put it :) | 08:03 |
| yoyit2 | what the heck is the NetX bp | 08:03 |
| narada | @Rodrigo Lopes , WTF???????? --> Get informed properly before saying something as hilarious...please | 08:03 |
| bcarm17 | hi | 08:04 |
| q0_0p | ur right | 08:04 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | Titan8990, .. its.. good.. in terminal is better.. faster.. and more configurable... | 08:04 |
| Titan8990 | Rodrigo_Lopes, don't really understand it... on my desktop with gnome and 2gb of RAM, I can open what seems like a unlimited ammt of applications and my ram usage never exceeds 500-650mb | 08:04 |
| q0_0p | that works | 08:04 |
| yoyit2 | arg what i mean is what the heck is the NetX popup i keep getiting on firefox?? | 08:04 |
| k3pp0 | unop, sorry, i meant /usr/sbin/, the old location of old command | 08:04 |
| chrispitzer | hey - the volume on my laptop, when i use ubuntu, is far too low. I've maxed all the mixer levels. Is there a way to boost volume across the whole system? | 08:04 |
| Titan8990 | Rodrigo_Lopes, agreed, also, in gentoo you don't get a choice | 08:04 |
| revilodraw | bpb: everything runs fine when it is finally open, this happens whether the network is connected or not | 08:04 |
| bpb | revilodraw: that wont help, i thought all x.org was being slow for you, sounds like your problem is just with firefox? | 08:04 |
| Titan8990 | Rodrigo_Lopes, if I do use a GUI, its a web interface like phpmyadmin for mysql | 08:04 |
| bpb | revilodraw: ok, so just firefox then... | 08:04 |
| unop | k3pp0, well, it's upto you - but if you ever upgrade the package that has /usr/sbin/iw - it will come back | 08:04 |
| bcarm17 | can anyone help me with my idea for a new shell? | 08:05 |
| yoyit2 | jnlp client.. what the heck is this?? | 08:05 |
| bpb | revilodraw: what about compilling firefox from tar.gz file? or purging and rebuilding firefox from synaptic? | 08:05 |
| unop | k3pp0, best to have something like. export PATH="/usr/bin:$PATH" in your ~/.bashrc | 08:05 |
| revilodraw | bpb; no, all programs take ages to open then run fine, not just firefox! | 08:05 |
| narada | But I run an Ubu server in a slow celero, 128 Mb RAM, goes so nice (even conky etc) with fluxbox... | 08:06 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: after doing that symlink I was able to enable connection sharing and I didn't have to do anything extra, just install firestarter and dhcp3-server | 08:06 |
| bcarm17 | the thing is i have a great concept for a window manager but i can't script to save my life | 08:06 |
| Amaranth | q0_0p: maybe undo anything you've done so far to try to set it up | 08:06 |
| q0_0p | k | 08:06 |
| Nalf | Can anyone help me with an installer hangup? | 08:06 |
| q0_0p | thx for helping me out amaranth | 08:06 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | Titan8990, yes.. .. you have much ram. ...I have 1gb.. ..... I think.. .. ubuntu, gnome, kde.. ...put persons longer of the true linux usage.... | 08:07 |
| Fudge | I have 64bit p4 do i use the amd64 image? | 08:07 |
| * Nalf has 6 GB of ram. | 08:07 | |
| Nalf | Fudge: You can, if you want. | 08:07 |
| === Pooky_ is now known as Pooky | ||
| Nalf | Fudge: I suggest it. | 08:07 |
| Fudge | Nalf im having trouble when i get to the end of the install process in windows installing it along side windows, says it cant read the disk are there any other programs accessing the drive. | 08:08 |
| Titan8990 | Rodrigo_Lopes, "true linux usage" is what you want it to be.... choice and flexibility are what make it great | 08:08 |
| bcarm17 | is anyone here a part of the dev for gnome?? | 08:08 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | Fudge, ????windows?????? | 08:08 |
| Fudge | yes mate | 08:08 |
| === kb is now known as Guest99442 | ||
| Titan8990 | Rodrigo_Lopes, I don't like kde because of your point about it being like windows, but some like it for that reason and have that choice, thus making linux great for its choices | 08:09 |
| Fudge | Rodrigo_Lopes yes | 08:09 |
| Nalf | Fudge: Are you using the WUBI installer? | 08:09 |
| Fudge | yes autoplay in windows | 08:09 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | :p yep kkk....try ubuntu.. its very good.. and.. further..try slackware.....its many better..... | 08:09 |
| bcarm17 | i don't think i'm in the right place | 08:10 |
| Fudge | Nalf when i installed it last time it was fine, maybe i shoudl burn the disk again? | 08:10 |
| jigp | hello is it possible to install chrom in ubuntu 8.04 gnome? how? | 08:10 |
| Nalf | Fudge: When exactly is the issue occuring? Do you reboot, choose ubuntu, and run through the beginning of the install? | 08:10 |
| bcarm17 | can someone direct me to someone that can help | 08:10 |
| Nalf | Fudge: Wubi and live install are two different things. | 08:10 |
| Fudge | Nalf its at the end of loading the image in windows still | 08:10 |
| revilodraw | is anyone finding ubuntu incredibly slow at opening files, folders and programs since the last update? | 08:11 |
| p1oooop | does anyone know a good guide to ubuntu server edition? | 08:11 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | Titan8990, .. I dont now... but its a many "flamewars" in net about windows, gnome, and kde.. interface...... and I think kde4 copy any windows interface..... | 08:11 |
| Nalf | Fudge: Your problem seems a little ambiguous to me -- can you try stating it in a different way? | 08:12 |

| Rodrigo_Lopes | Titan8990, because this I think fluxbox, xfce.. and anothers "simple" interface is better.... | 08:12 |
| p1oooop | also, is there any way of making a windows driver run on ubuntu? | 08:12 |
| Fudge | Nalf when i choose my language user pass and folder, it loads the image, it has to create the folder i guess and use wubi to go into the boot loader but that stage does not finish. it comes up with the error is there another program accessing the cd drive. | 08:12 |
| * Nalf thanks n8tuserf. | 08:12 | |
| k3pp0 | unop, i still can't get it work, i tryed to add the line u suggest to .bashrc but no luck | 08:13 |
| bcarm17 | ANYONE WORK WITH DEVELOPING GNOME??? | 08:13 |

| p1oooop | LOL | 08:13 |
| p1oooop | I knew it | 08:13 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | ploooop what driver??? | 08:14 |
| Nalf | Fudge: Try a virtual CD Drive. | 08:14 |
| q0_0p | what ip is in the range of subnet 169.254.0.0 with netmask 255.255.0.0? | 08:14 |
| jigp | hello how to install chrome google? | 08:14 |
| Fudge | Nalf and then use the iso to laod into it? | 08:14 |
| p1oooop | Rodrigo_Lopes: any | 08:14 |
| Nalf | Fudge: Or just extract the iso -- and run the wubi setup.. that might work too. My apologies, but I must be heading out. It's 1:14 a.m.. have to wake up at 6:30 a.m. .. bad news.:P Ja mata! | 08:15 |

| bcarm17 | so slow i reverted to 8.04 | 08:16 |
| ziroday | bcarm17: there is no need to yell, most of the gnome hackers are on gimpnet anyway. | 08:16 |
| ziroday | bcarm17: no matter how much caps you use I doubt they're going to hear you. | 08:17 |
| n8tuserf | q0_0p-> tried using ipcalc ? | 08:17 |
| bcarm17 | ziroday: thanks | 08:17 |
| simplexio | if there is some problem its in gnome or nautilus | 08:17 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | what is a better 3d driver??? ati proprietary.. or xorg free ati??? | 08:17 |
| simplexio | i haven't noticed slow down, but again i use more commandline that nautilus | 08:17 |
| ziroday | Rodrigo_Lopes: there is no "best" driver. Its recommended to use the free xorg driver however you may get better performance from the closed source driver. | 08:18 |
| revilodraw | is anyone finding ubuntu incredibly slow at opening files, folders and programs since the last update? | 08:18 |
| simplexio | revilodraw: you could try to use top to find if there is some runaway program that uses all resources, or if you have huge wait% there | 08:18 |
| Fudge | instead of repeating your question every five minutes | 08:18 |
| simplexio | yeah.. thats is more productive | 08:19 |
| TnadeN | uninstall programs... how do I do it...*sob* | 08:19 |
| revilodraw | simplexio: good idea, but system monitor reports nothing hogging my resources | 08:20 |
| TnadeN | when not in the add/remove list ofc | 08:20 |
| ziroday | TnadeN: through synaptic. System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager | 08:20 |
| q0_0p | wats the difference between subnet and netmask/ | 08:20 |
| simplexio | revilodraw: there is no huge %wa values, and no high cpu load.. then problem is somewhere in nautilus | 08:20 |
| simplexio | q0_0p: netmask defines subnet | 08:21 |
| ziroday | simplexio: tried disabling previewing?. How large is this folder you are trying to view? | 08:21 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | ziroday, i use proprietary.. and work fine..but i have prejudice, bias about proprietary software....then I dont now | 08:21 |
| revilodraw | simplexio: ok, how should i go about attacking this nautilus related problem? | 08:21 |
| TnadeN | not in there, installed hamachi with make install as ordered by the readme | 08:21 |
| simplexio | ziroday: talk to revilodraw | 08:21 |
| q0_0p | simplexio can u help me with the dhcpd.conf? | 08:21 |
| ziroday | Rodrigo_Lopes: well you need to decide that yourself :) | 08:21 |
| ziroday | revilodraw: : tried disabling previewing? How large is this folder you are trying to view? | 08:22 |
| TnadeN | now it's missing a "libcrypto.so.0.9.7" | 08:22 |
| ziroday | TnadeN: compiling from source is not recommended for many reasons; one of those being they are hard to remove. You need to go back to the dir with the make scripts and run sudo make uninstall | 08:22 |
| simplexio | revilodraw: you could allways check that your hard drives dont have anything funny settings.. use bonnie++ to configrm that speeds are somewhat normal | 08:22 |
| revilodraw | ziroday: hi! it is not just folders, but files and programs too.... when they are *finally* open they run fine... glx gears reports a 2600fps, music and video play smoothly when they are finally open.. | 08:23 |

| baz | hi, when i boot my bios shows 6gb of ram however ubuntu's ystem monitor says I have 2gb - what could be the reason for the discrepancy? | 08:43 |
| Titan8990 | baz, are you using a 32bit version of linux? | 08:44 |
| baz | yeah | 08:44 |
| sixofour | how do i change the permissions of two drives? | 08:44 |
| revilodraw | quick question, does anyone have wireless internet (not wifi) working on ubuntu? | 08:44 |
| gartral1 | http://www.xtatix.com/products/web_cameras/XCA-PP2/ <- these are great cams, and i would like to get mine working to some extent, both mac and windows drivers are on the site, is there a way to wrap the drivers, if so, how? | 08:44 |
| sixofour | so i don't need sudo to change them | 08:44 |
| baz | Titan8990, shouldn't it then be 4gb? | 08:44 |
| Aberration | Hi all! | 08:44 |
| Titan8990 | baz, 32bit OSes have a limitation of 4gb of RAM | 08:44 |
| jigspan | illumin8: pppoe-status cmd not found | 08:44 |
| Titan8990 | baz, yes, but some kernels like the one ubuntu uses for the dell mini's, limit RAM to 2gb | 08:45 |
| baz | Titan8990, i'd be happy with that, i downgraded to 32bit because of 1 program (flex builder) but i was expecting 4gb | 08:45 |
| baz | Titan8990, i have a sick awesome machine, no mini :) | 08:45 |
| Aberration | I installed fedora next to ubuntu, but I can't find no ubuntu in grub... I tried to paste the ubuntu's grub list into the fedora's grub list... it didn't work :( | 08:45 |
| illumin8 | jigspan: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Connecting_an_Ubuntu_Linux_System_to_a_DSL_Modem | 08:45 |
| ikonia | Aberration: did you use a seperate /boot partition ? | 08:46 |
| ikonia | Aberration: or a shared one ? | 08:46 |
| Titan8990 | baz, you could use the ubuntu server kernel which has high memory support (PXE) | 08:46 |
| ziroday | apelgate: sendmail might be better, compared to a full MTA | 08:46 |
| Aberration | Aberration: hell I don't know! | 08:46 |
| EspenBe | any of you succeeding having two external monitors connected to your laptop (one VGA and one DVI)? | 08:46 |
| jigspan | illumin8: thanks i ll try to see that | 08:46 |
| baz | Titan8990, so are u saying it is normal? I am running a standard 8.10 32bit desktop livecd install... | 08:46 |
| Aberration | ikonia sorry... again : Hell I don't know! | 08:46 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | yes.. in fact kde and gnome is a peace of crap... | 08:46 |
| ikonia | Aberration: the bottom line is when you install 2 linux distros to different /boot directories/partitions you create a conflifct as there will be two menu.lst files | 08:46 |
| Titan8990 | baz, not saying that.... | 08:47 |
| ikonia | Aberration: which menas grub will only reference one (you have to work out which one) but each OS will update it's own menu.lst file which keeps them out of sync | 08:47 |
| Aberration | ikonia I got 2 list files! | 08:47 |
| gartral1 | Rodrigo_Lopes: those are completly seperate environments | 08:47 |
| apelgate | ziroday: yes. maybe | 08:47 |
| kraut | moin | 08:47 |
| ikonia | Aberration: yes, thats not good | 08:47 |
| baz | Titan8990, ok so i should be getting the 4gb... right? | 08:47 |
| apelgate | It's untested with our scripts but should work | 08:47 |
| ziroday | apelgate: if you only need it to send you a mail when something fails thats a much better way then slapping in postfix | 08:48 |
| Titan8990 | baz, couldn't say for sure, never tried to run > 2gb with stock ubuntu kernel | 08:48 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | but gartrall.. the two.. is .. lost the unix tru spirit | 08:48 |
| Rodrigo_Lopes | *true | 08:48 |
| revilodraw | quick question, does anyone have wireless internet (not wifi) working on ubuntu? | 08:48 |
| Aberration | ikonia oooki... do you have an idea of the solution? | 08:49 |
| ikonia | revilodraw: yes | 08:49 |
| Titan8990 | revilodraw, not wifi? | 08:49 |
| ikonia | Aberration: well, there are manu solutions, however you want to "fix" this so you don't have to keep fixing it | 08:49 |
| baz | Titan8990, it's a bit hardcore to swap out the kernel no? | 08:49 |
| ari_stress | is 64bit the same as dual-core? | 08:49 |
| ikonia | Aberration: the answer to that is re-install both OS's - but make sure you use a shared /boot partition | 08:49 |
| ikonia | Aberration: no | 08:49 |
| ikonia | Aberration: sorry - "no" wasn't for you | 08:50 |
| ikonia | ari_stress: no | 08:50 |
| Titan8990 | baz, shouldn't be, it's a bit hardcore to compile your own kernel, which breaks ubuntu | 08:50 |
| Titan8990 | baz, installing the server kernel should be as easy as using the package manager to install and configuring grub to boot it by default | 08:50 |
| Aberration | ikonia argh... but... what if I delete fedora and restore grub? | 08:50 |
| ziroday | ari_stress: all dual-core systems are 64bit IIRC | 08:50 |
| ikonia | Aberration: that won't change anything | 08:50 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: are you attemtping to duel boot ubuntu and fedora? | 08:50 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: i did this earlier this month and can tell you what area of grub to edit to resolve conflicts. | 08:51 |
| baz | Titan8990, what should i google "swap kernel ubuntu"... no, no "swap" is too confusing... "replace kernel ubuntu"? | 08:51 |
| ari_stress | oh | 08:51 |
| Titan8990 | baz, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-server-`uname -r` | 08:52 |
| Titan8990 | baz, or something similar, use apt-cache search | 08:52 |
| baz | Titan8990, i also installed vmware server - i have a sneaky suspicion it maybe reserved some ram for itself... i'm going to investigate whether thats even possible and so low-level that ubuntu doesn't report what it stole - unfortunately i never checked my ram before the vmware install so i dont know if it was like that before | 08:52 |
| revilodraw | Titan8990: yeah, like wireless internet from a phone company, u need a usb device or network card.... ie; in australia, telstra bigpond wireless 3g | 08:52 |
| Aberration | illumin8 actually I got a triple boot vista/fedora/ubuntu but please tell me what you found out | 08:52 |
| Titan8990 | baz, check: cat /proc/meminfo | 08:53 |
| Titan8990 | baz, nothing is hidden from that | 08:53 |
| baz | Titan8990, it is truly a great era in linux when u can apt-get kernels!!! | 08:53 |
| revilodraw | I am starting to think my problem is solely nautilus' fault.. any idea? | 08:53 |
| ikonia | Aberration: if you want to do it right, delete ubuntu and fedora, restore your windows boot loader, then re-install the linux distros you want, but use a shared /boot partition | 08:53 |
| media_ | what file to I edit to add modules during boot? | 08:54 |
| apelgate | ziroday: I will test that.. it probably has less dependencies as well | 08:54 |
| octavio | trs | 08:54 |
| media_ | 8.10 intrepid | 08:54 |
| ziroday | media: /etc/modules | 08:54 |
| Titan8990 | baz, hehe, most distros have a some type of method of installing a kernel via package management | 08:54 |
| octavio | what is a better so windows or nowdays ubuntu?? | 08:54 |
| Titan8990 | baz, but some distros still require you compile the kernel yourself (gentoo) | 08:54 |
| baz | Titan8990, gentoo is for unemployed stoners with lots of time to kill :) just kidding i respect gentoo | 08:55 |
| revilodraw | octavio: stupid question here | 08:55 |
| Aberration | ikonia if you don't mind I'll try to find a more subtle solution first... I did too many things to configure ubuntu properly ot re-install it from scratch... | 08:55 |
| ikonia | Aberration: ok - deelte fedora, re-apply grub from within the ubuntu livecd pointing grub at your menu.lst file on ubuntu partition | 08:56 |
| ubuntistas | does anyone here use hol? | 08:56 |
| Titan8990 | baz, subtract unemployed and you have descibed me | 08:56 |
| illumin8 | ikonia: have him reset grub to root on ubuntu? | 08:56 |
| baz | Titan8990, hehe, and me! | 08:56 |
| Titan8990 | baz, who is a gentoo user so good assumption I suppose hehe | 08:57 |
| octavio | revilodraw, why stupid...... windows.. is more fast.. and more secure...... you need learn any lessons children | 08:57 |
| Aberration | ikonia many many thanks... but I find it weird that linux put vista on its grub and not other linuxes... | 08:57 |
| media_ | where is modules.conf in ubuntu? is it just '/etc/modules'? | 08:57 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: you installed fedora after ubuntu and vista? | 08:57 |
| ikonia | Aberration: re-read what I just said and it explains why it uses it's "own"grub | 08:57 |
| ikonia | Aberration: it's user error | 08:57 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: if so that means the fedora install took over the boot menu. | 08:57 |
| illumin8 | yep | 08:57 |
| Aberration | illumin8 right | 08:58 |
| baz | octavio, what u will find out is ubuntu is a scam - someone stole windows source code, put an ugly brown skin on it and released it as ubuntu - they are in fact one and the same! | 08:58 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: are you in fedora now? | 08:58 |
| Aberration | ikoniaas always ... i'll try to do this more carefully next time! | 08:58 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: do you have a live cd available of ubuntu? | 08:58 |
| ziroday | media: yes, do sudo nano /etc/modules to edit it | 08:58 |
| eljikobie | irc://irc.efnet.org/eztv | 08:59 |
| octavio | and windows has microsoft guaranty and more true good newers for all | 08:59 |
| gartral1 | does anyone know of any obscure driver packs for webcams? | 09:00 |
| Aberration | illumin8 nop, I'm investigating from work, but I'll download an ubuntu live CD from either vista or fedora as soon as I'm home | 09:01 |
| octavio | baz windows is fast, and better., and great so..you need understand this | 09:01 |
| sixofour | ugh!!!!!!!!!!! | 09:01 |
| Aberration | sixofour niag niag | 09:01 |
| sixofour | i unrared it but dunno where it unrared to and where ever it went ran out of space | 09:01 |
| Titan8990 | !ohmy | octavio | 09:01 |
| ubottu | octavio: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. | 09:01 |
| sixofour | @#$%& | 09:01 |
| baz | octavio, i agree completely, i am just here to give fake advice to ubuntu users to make their lives more difficult - i am with u! sshhhhhhh | 09:02 |
| octavio | ... linux....need learn with bill gates.... to go on ... | 09:02 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: Ok, to give you the simple method, without reinstalling, burn a livecd of ubuntu then boot into it, reset grub to use ubuntu as root, then edit the ubuntu menu.lst to include fedora. | 09:02 |
| sixofour | this is bullcrap | 09:02 |
| sixofour | is there any way to find out where somethign unrared to? | 09:02 |
| Titan8990 | octavio, so all linux users can switch to freebsd? | 09:02 |
| sixofour | dolphin crashed too | 09:03 |
| sixofour | ............ | 09:03 |
| illumin8 | sixofour: the second part of your mnt command would locate the folder it would be in. Note that /mnt/example is not the same as ~/mnt/example | 09:03 |
| sixofour | why does kubuntu still ship with this crappy program? | 09:03 |
| baz | sixofour, did your resizing ever work out | 09:03 |
| sixofour | yes | 09:03 |
| gartral1 | octavio: the _only_ advantage windows has over any linux OS is that it has legal blah support for corporate ways of doing thing (DRM Encrypling) and is really nothing more than a "walking BSoD" waiting too happen... | 09:03 |
| consoleart | hi all how do i install themes for cairo docl | 09:03 |
| sixofour | my drive is fine, i'm trying to extract ther .rar | 09:03 |
| Aberration | illumin8 it will erase both fedora and ubuntu grub, and replace it by a fresh one?? | 09:03 |
| consoleart | dock* | 09:03 |
| octavio | Titan8990, .. no.. solaris.. and bsd and linux.. it is a begginers SO......but XP vista it is a PROFESSIONAL so.... | 09:03 |
| ziroday | sixofour: did you do unrar e myfile.rar? | 09:04 |
| sixofour | yes | 09:04 |
| sixofour | i don't know where it unrared to and the dirve its on has no space left | 09:04 |
| ziroday | sixofour: then its in the same dir as the archive you extracted | 09:04 |
| sixofour | its somewhere on my Os install | 09:04 |
| sixofour | its not | 09:04 |
| ziroday | sixofour: that is what the e option does, it is. | 09:04 |
| sixofour | the drive my .rar is on has 90 gb left | 09:04 |
| sixofour | it didn't this time | 09:05 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: No, the menu.lst is simply the bootloader, which you decide which os to boot into. But your problem is that fedora installs its own to its own section of your hd, (which doesnt scan of other stage1) without you telling it to. | 09:05 |
| ziroday | sixofour: well then that archive is corrupted. | 09:05 |
| sixofour | no it isn't | 09:05 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: Setting ubuntu as your primary grub would help you resolve the issue. | 09:05 |
| sixofour | it unrared in a palce other than the location fo the archive | 09:05 |
| octavio | yeap...linux.., bsd, solaris.....its like a flinstons so...but I want new tecnology... and windows is a best for ever | 09:05 |
| sixofour | i know because my Os drive has 0 bytes elft | 09:05 |
| Aberration | illumin8 oki doki! Many many thanks to you too! | 09:06 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: note that once you set ubuntu as your primary you will have to manually add fedora to the boot menu with specific command lines. | 09:06 |
| gartral1 | sixofour: if it isn't unextracting properly, it's either corrupt, or password protected | 09:06 |
| Titan8990 | octavio, I noticed today that the my school's financial aid department computer had mywebsearch toolbars | 09:06 |
| sixofour | oh man | 09:06 |
| Titan8990 | octavio, there is one feature that makes windows > linux, right? | 09:06 |
| tc111 | i'm trying to set up rsync to exclude dapper and gutsy so far this is what i have... rsync -vhhzru --stats --progress --exclude="dapper***" --exclude="gutsy***" rsync://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu/ /var/www/ubuntu/ ... but how do i exclude the gutsy and dapper files from the 'pool'? | 09:06 |
| TnadeN | Titan8990, fail! | 09:06 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: that's odd | 09:06 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: When you are ready to edit the grub see this webpage..http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/112118-dual-boot-fedora-8-ubuntu-desktop-version.html | 09:06 |
| sixofour | i don't want to sound rude, but please read everything i said before you comment | 09:06 |
| Titan8990 | TnadeN, very | 09:06 |
| Aberration | illumin8 I know but I'll find out what to wright later... | 09:06 |
| sixofour | there is nothing wrong with the unrar process | 09:06 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: though the version is not accurate the commands work. | 09:07 |
| sixofour | i simply don't know WHERe it unrared at on my Os drive | 09:07 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: don't mean to patronise, but are you *sure* it's on the right drive? As in, you've checked the path using "pwd", and checked your mounts using "mount" | 09:07 |
| baz | sixofour, what irc client r u using? | 09:07 |
| sixofour | and it didn't unrasr in the location of the archive | 09:07 |
| octavio | Titan8990, .. you right... WINDOWS is > linux......LINUX SUX | 09:07 |
| sixofour | konvorsation | 09:07 |
| Aberration | illumin8 Last question : when fedora/ubuntu install a new kernel it is added in the list file... I guess that I'll have to add fedora lines manually? | 09:07 |
| jpds | tc111: #ubuntu-mirrors is your friend. | 09:07 |
| sixofour | look, i had 2 gb left on my Os drive i unrared the file and it couldn't finish ebacuse it ran out of space and my OS drive has 0 space left | 09:08 |
| tc111 | jpds: nobody home... ;) | 09:08 |
| baz | sixofour, its killing me that your messages aren't prefixed with the user you are talking to (in the friendliest possible way :)) did u know u can type just a few letters of their name and press tab to complete it | 09:08 |
| * gartral1 points octavio twords wubi | 09:08 | |
| sixofour | bax i'm talking to 6 people | 09:08 |
| sixofour | baz | 09:08 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: ubuntu will be by default, fedora will need to be maintained. | 09:08 |
| sixofour | all about the same issue | 09:08 |
| baz | sixofour, oh ok | 09:08 |
| baz | sixofour, thats fair then | 09:09 |
| sixofour | so how do i find these files? | 09:09 |
| mikebeecham | hey guys...I have a gvfs folder setup, which I use as a source for my MP3s. When I reboot my machine, my media player cannot access the source until I open it in nautilus...is there anyway to avoid this? | 09:09 |
| pyr3sayz | sixofour: do a file list on the archive | 09:09 |
| galvus_damor | i have some problems with my usb flash drive if i insert it ist is not mounted automatically no i don't know whether the drive is borken or something else so could you say me how i can find out what's wrong with the drive | 09:09 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: right, so the most likely cause is that the original rar file isn't actually on the drive that you think it's on. I know that seems dumb but I really suggest that you double-check. Once you've confirmed that it's not the case, you could try running a search to see where it's dumped the files | 09:09 |
| Aberration | illumin8 oki, thanks | 09:09 |
| octavio | yes.... | 09:09 |
| revilodraw | With regard to Octavio - Trolls?! On MY #Ubuntu??!! | 09:09 |
| TnadeN | what's the channel for ubuntu general? | 09:09 |
| sixofour | slimy,its 9 gb file, it only fits on one drive | 09:10 |
| SlimeyPete | TnadeN: #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:10 |
| sixofour | if its not there then it doesn't exist | 09:10 |
| SlimeyPete | ah, I see | 09:10 |
| sixofour | my Os drive is 8gb and the other is 160gb | 09:10 |
| octavio | revilodraw, ..speak... and counter speak...troll its you..... | 09:10 |
| sixofour | but sudo unrar e /filepath extracted it to my 8Gb drive | 09:10 |
| SlimeyPete | /filepath?? | 09:10 |
| sixofour | yes filepath | 09:10 |
| SlimeyPete | that'll put it on your OS drive | 09:11 |
| SlimeyPete | / == root | 09:11 |
| sixofour | yes | 09:11 |
| sixofour | i know that aprt now | 09:11 |
| sixofour | part* | 09:11 |
| SlimeyPete | aha, I see | 09:11 |
| sixofour | but WHERE on root? | 09:11 |
| SlimeyPete | wherever the path specifies. | 09:11 |
| SlimeyPete | what filepath did you use? | 09:11 |
| sixofour | none | 09:11 |
| sixofour | sudo unrar e /ment/ext3/file.rar | 09:11 |
| sixofour | mnt* | 09:12 |
| revilodraw | octavio: In Soviet Russia, troll trolls you! I am finding your input here hilarious, please continue... ps; please do so in your charming Engrish | 09:12 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: what directory where you in when you ran that command? | 09:12 |
| SlimeyPete | it'll extract into your current directory. | 09:12 |
| sixofour | what ever you are in when you open konsole | 09:12 |
| pyr3sayz | sixofour: run this `unrar l /ment/ext3/file.rar | less` | 09:12 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: when you do decide to edit grub in ubuntu this is the command to add fedora..title Fedora 10 | 09:12 |
| sixofour | dolphin keeps getting fatal errors is there another file browser i can use? | 09:12 |
| illumin8 | configfile (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf | 09:12 |
| SlimeyPete | that'll be /home, by default. Which is *probably* on your bigger drive, but to check, type "mount" and look for the line which specifies /home | 09:13 |
| pyr3sayz | it'll show you the file paths of the contained files, then you can search for them | 09:13 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: configfile (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf | 09:13 |
| SlimeyPete | /home may actually be on your 8GB drive | 09:13 |
| octavio | kkkkkk | 09:13 |
| sixofour | so what am i looking at pyr3sayz? | 09:13 |
| derrick-mary | hello all | 09:13 |
| octavio | im...see everthing.. and everybody........cry children cry | 09:14 |
| pyr3sayz | it's a listing of all the files in the archive | 09:14 |
| lenni_-_ | i have server that runs 8.04. i don't really want to upgrade everything just on packager (mercurial). is that possible? | 09:14 |
| mikebeecham | hey guys...I have a gvfs folder setup, which I use as a source for my MP3s. When I reboot my machine, my media player cannot access the source until I open it in nautilus...is there anyway to avoid this? | 09:14 |
| pyr3sayz | each file has a path attached to it, which maybe causing their final destination to be obscured from you... | 09:14 |
| === bAsTl is now known as bastl | ||
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: if you could pastebin the output of "mount" then it'd give us a better idea of the layout of your drives, which might help us help you :) | 09:15 |
| sixofour | there is no file path | 09:15 |
| sixofour | superbass.wav 21624 13337 61% 24-04-05 16:04 .....A. 7C5A5077 m3g 2.9 | 09:15 |
| pyr3sayz | And if someone packed the archive wrong, sometimes that path isn't relative, but absolute. (it's possible to pack a file with a path of /usr/local instead of usr/local) | 09:15 |
| sixofour | that is what each entry looks likle | 09:15 |
| Aberration | illumin8 thanks! Or maybe... what if I delete fedora and reinstall it with a sharing boot partition... will they botj (ub and fed) update list automatically? | 09:15 |
| sixofour | i amde the file on windows | 09:15 |
| mattg | dose any one know of a good network monitoring tool for ubuntu | 09:16 |
| ddoom | when I xdmcp into a ubuntu 8.04 system, the option to unlock any administration options (e.g. System->Administration->Network Unlock button) is greyed out. Anyone know how to get around this? | 09:16 |
| pyr3sayz | if there is no file path, it's possible there is no path with that file. | 09:16 |
| mattg | dose any one know of a good network monitoring tool for ubuntu ?? | 09:16 |
| fosco_ | mattg: iptraf | 09:16 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: I attempted 2 methods when i installed both, first ubuntu then fedora and vice versa, both methods still needed the menu.lst edit. | 09:16 |
| illumin8 | Aberration: its possible you can find an alternate method, im simply speaking from my experience in what worked. | 09:17 |
| mattg | thank you fosco | 09:17 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: did you try typing "mount" to see where your /home is? :) | 09:18 |
| sixofour | i know where it is | 09:18 |
| blackgraz | hey | 09:18 |
| sixofour | i put it where it is :D | 09:18 |
| Aberration | illumin8 yet, you've helped me enough! Many thanks! | 09:18 |
| sixofour | its on the , now full, 8gb drive | 09:18 |
| SlimeyPete | ah | 09:18 |
| SlimeyPete | well that'll be the problem then :) | 09:19 |
| blackgraz | i got a question i was thinking about you ubuntu users | 09:19 |
| sixofour | thats not a problem, MY entire Os is on that drive | 09:19 |
| sixofour | i don't use /home/ | 09:19 |
| blackgraz | who uses their 2 desktop as their porn desktop | 09:19 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: when you ran the unrar command it'll have tried to extract to the current directory. | 09:19 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: your current directory was /home/ | 09:19 |
| sixofour | i use /mnt/ext3/ and ext2/ | 09:19 |
| sixofour | yep | 09:19 |
| sixofour | ./home/doesn't have my files though | 09:20 |
| SlimeyPete | so it'll have tried to extract to /home/. Which is on your 8GB drive. | 09:20 |
| SlimeyPete | the path will be /home/yourusername/ | 09:20 |
| sixofour | infact, /home/ has nothing in it lol | 09:20 |
| sixofour | god i hate dolphin | 09:20 |
| sixofour | it says there is 3 files, but they arn't showing | 09:20 |
| SlimeyPete | use the terminal instead :) | 09:20 |
| sixofour | then i will have to spent 5 more days just to view /home/ | 09:21 |
| SlimeyPete | just open it and type "ls" | 09:21 |
| sixofour | no log fire [press return] | 09:21 |
| sixofour | file | 09:21 |
| pyr3sayz | sixofour: are you on a live cd? | 09:21 |
| sixofour | no | 09:21 |
| sixofour | ft | 09:22 |
| sixofour | dolphin si frozemn | 09:22 |
| pyr3sayz | Do you know the names of some of the files in the archive? | 09:22 |
| sixofour | and i'm about to delete /home/ | 09:22 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: yeah, things tend to break when you have no space left on your OS drive | 09:22 |
| SlimeyPete | don't delete /home/ | 09:22 |
| SlimeyPete | that'll break your OS | 09:22 |
| sixofour | dolphin already broke it by existing | 09:22 |
| baz | Titan8990, is that pae suggestion you gave me basically upgrading to 64bit - or is it 32bit with more memory support | 09:22 |
| Titan8990 | baz, 32bit with more memory support | 09:22 |
| sixofour | apparnetly everything is in /home/ | 09:22 |
| Titan8990 | baz, some consider it a "hack" | 09:23 |
| pyr3sayz | deleteing home won't break your OS... so long as you recreate it... when you create a new user it's blank anyways. | 09:23 |
| Titan8990 | baz, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension | 09:23 |
| sixofour | so how do i shfit select and delete only the extracted files? | 09:23 |
| SlimeyPete | pyr3sayz: it'll break it in the sense that he'll lose all his settings etc. | 09:23 |
| sixofour | in konsole | 09:23 |
| illumin8 | sixofour: could you please type out the command you used ot do the transfer. | 09:23 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: just do "ls", then do "rm filename" | 09:23 |
| sixofour | sudo unrar e /mnt/ext3/Outgoing.rar | 09:23 |
| sixofour | slimy | 09:24 |
| sixofour | there is about 58935 files in /home/ | 09:24 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: right, but you know the name of the big file you tried to extract | 09:24 |
| SlimeyPete | that's the only one you need to delete. | 09:24 |
| sixofour | why? | 09:24 |
| sixofour | i need it | 09:24 |
| illumin8 | sixofour: k do this, ls *.rar | 09:24 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: it's not even all there | 09:24 |
| sixofour | the .rar isn't in /home/ | 09:24 |
| SlimeyPete | yes it is. | 09:25 |
| sixofour | the .rar is all there | 09:25 |
| sixofour | no its not | 09:25 |
| SlimeyPete | no, sorry | 09:25 |
| SlimeyPete | not the rar | 09:25 |
| sixofour | the ./rar is in ext3 | 09:25 |
| SlimeyPete | the .wav | 09:25 |
| FloodBot2 | SlimeyPete: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:25 |
| SlimeyPete | the one it tried to extract | 09:25 |
| sixofour | ok so there is now 58934 files left... | 09:25 |
| SlimeyPete | look, you tried to extract the .rar whilst you were in the home directory in the terminal, right? Therefore unrar will have attempted to extract the .wav from the .rar into the home directory. | 09:25 |
| sixofour | and about 200kb left on the drive | 09:25 |
| sixofour | let me re explain | 09:26 |
| baz | Titan8990, excuse my insolence but i type this line EXACTLY as it is, even with the wierd single quotes: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-server-`uname -r` | 09:26 |
| illumin8 | sixofour: you basicly unzipped the rar to home? | 09:26 |
| sixofour | i extracted the fileS, it worked fine untill the drive ran out of space, i want to delete what is already extracted and reextract it on the bigger drive | 09:26 |
| Titan8990 | baz, that might not be exactly it, but yes even with the ticks | 09:27 |
| Titan8990 | !search ubuntu-server | 09:27 |
| ubottu | Found: screen-#ubuntu-server, ubuntu-server, ops-#ubuntu-server, server | 09:27 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: Right... there's only one file in the .rar, though? The .wav? | 09:27 |
| pyr3sayz | Hold up... I'll whip you up a one-liner to delete the files | 09:27 |
| sixofour | no, there are veral hundred thousand | 09:27 |
| Titan8990 | !info ubuntu-server-kernel | 09:27 |
| ubottu | Package ubuntu-server-kernel does not exist in intrepid | 09:27 |
| sixofour | several* | 09:27 |
| SlimeyPete | Oh... sorry | 09:27 |
| SlimeyPete | hrm | 09:27 |
| sixofour | its a 9 gigabyte .rar | 09:27 |
| ddoom | I can't unlock any administrative settings when using xdmcp to connect to an ubuntu 8.04 system, any ideas? | 09:27 |
| sixofour | only about 2gb extracted | 09:27 |
| SlimeyPete | Sorry, I thought it had a single massive WAV in it | 09:27 |
| koshari | sixofour use a live disc to mount the drive and delete the rar. | 09:27 |
| sixofour | oh no, that would be a big wav though | 09:27 |
| sixofour | that .wav is from my sample packs | 09:28 |
| sixofour | flstudio :P | 09:28 |
| SlimeyPete | right... hrm. And if there were no paths in the .rar... well, you're stuffed tbh. | 09:28 |
| Titan8990 | baz, try: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-kernel-`uname -r`-server | 09:28 |
| sixofour | i need to get to /home/ in dolphin or something, shift select everything and delete it | 09:28 |
| pyr3sayz | sixofour: You said that they were all in the /home/ directory, right? | 09:28 |
| SlimeyPete | there's no automatic way to remove the files unelss you write a shell-script to do it | 09:28 |
| pyr3sayz | not the /home/username dir ? | 09:28 |
| Titan8990 | baz, its going to be someting similar... you can search synaptic | 09:28 |
| sixofour | slimy this is why GUI is superiour :P | 09:28 |
| Titan8990 | baz, and also do uname -r from the terminal to see your current running config version | 09:29 |
| sixofour | its /home/six/ i think | 09:29 |
| pyr3sayz | Ok. | 09:29 |
| sixofour | six@six-Mind:~$ | 09:29 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: actually, I have an idea | 09:29 |
| PanTofel | kto ma doświadczenie z kartami TV/framegraberami na expresscard ? | 09:29 |
| pyr3sayz | unrar lb /path/to/archive.rar | while read FILE; do rm /home/six/$FILE; done | 09:29 |
| SlimeyPete | ... or that | 09:29 |
| Titan8990 | sixofour, its superiour because you know how to use a GUI but not CLI? what about us that are very efficient with cli? | 09:29 |
| sixofour | what will that do pyr? | 09:29 |
| SlimeyPete | is it that simple? | 09:29 |
| pyr3sayz | replace '/path/to/archive.rar' with the path to the archive | 09:29 |
| sixofour | i'm not us :D | 09:29 |
| PanTofel | Juliiiie: | 09:29 |
| illumin8 | hmm just throwing this out there but isnt there a way to list modifided dates on ls? or delete anything with a specific modfied time? | 09:30 |
| SlimeyPete | Titan8990: don't derail us into an argument please ;) | 09:30 |
| pyr3sayz | and '/home/six' with the path to where the files are | 09:30 |
| Titan8990 | SlimeyPete, sorry, wasn't the first comment like that from him | 09:30 |
| SlimeyPete | yeah, pyr3sayz speaks wisdom. Do what he/she says :) | 09:30 |
| sixofour | also how can i make /mnt/ext2/ and /mnt/ext3/ [one hard drive, two partitions] write and readable without sudo? | 09:30 |
| baz | Titan8990, it said it couldn't find the package but i found this, what do u think: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server | 09:31 |
| Titan8990 | baz, not headers | 09:31 |
| Titan8990 | baz, possibly linux-image-server, does it give a version number? | 09:31 |
| AdvoWork | Is there a way whilst running ubuntu to kill the x session but still be left with a terminal so i can install some graphics drivers? | 09:31 |
| pyr3sayz | sixofour: with the 'mount' command, though if you are talking about making your entire filesystem writeable without sudo... that's not a good idea | 09:32 |
| pyr3sayz | There's a reason things are like that. | 09:32 |
| sixofour | pyr3sayz: | 09:32 |
| sixofour | what you told me to type gaves about 389678956 "no such file or directory, cannot remove" thingies | 09:32 |
| pyr3sayz | Ah, you used sudo to unpack the archive | 09:32 |
| Titan8990 | baz, found it :) | 09:33 |
| pyr3sayz | sudo bash -c "STUFF I GAVE YOU ALREADY HERE" | 09:33 |
| sixofour | "OK WILL DO" | 09:33 |
| pyr3sayz | just put the previous line in between the quotes | 09:33 |
| sixofour | well, it has to finish failing first | 09:33 |
| Titan8990 | baz, sudo apt-get install kernel-image-`uname -r`-server | 09:33 |
| baz | Titan8990, alright lets give it a go! | 09:34 |
| baz | Titan8990, if i don't report back in 60 seconds, tell my mother i love her | 09:34 |
| Titan8990 | baz, hehe | 09:34 |
| baz | Titan8990, couldnt find it again | 09:35 |
| sixofour | is there any way to "canel" an action in progress in konsole? | 09:35 |
| baz | Titan8990, Couldn't find package kernel-image-2.6.27-13-generic-server | 09:35 |
| pyr3sayz | canel? | 09:35 |
| sixofour | cancel | 09:35 |
| Titan8990 | baz, ah, its appending generic.... | 09:35 |
| pyr3sayz | control-c | 09:35 |
| Titan8990 | baz, sudo apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.27-13-server | 09:35 |
| pyr3sayz | or control-\ is another | 09:36 |

| pyr3sayz | you need quotes around the first line I gave you | 09:37 |
| Titan8990 | baz, apt-cache search kernel-image | 09:37 |
| pyr3sayz | sudo bash -c "unrar lb /mnt/ext3/Outgoing.rar | while read FILE;do rm /home/six/$FILE; done" | 09:37 |
| Titan8990 | baz, pick a version and install it.... | 09:37 |
| sixofour | .... | 09:37 |
| arun_ | <Titan8990>,i'm using that,but unable to transfer files 2 google talk friends | 09:38 |
| sixofour | lol still doesn't work rm: cannot remove `/home/six/': Is a directory | 09:38 |
| sixofour | million of those | 09:38 |
| Titan8990 | sixofour, use rm -rf for directories | 09:38 |
| pyr3sayz | sudo bash -c "unrar lb /mnt/ext3/Outgoing.rar | while read FILE;do rm /home/six/\$FILE; done" | 09:38 |
| Titan8990 | sixofour, careful though, its a powerful command | 09:38 |
| pyr3sayz | sudo bash -c "unrar lb /mnt/ext3/Outgoing.rar | while read FILE;do rm -rf /home/six/\$FILE; done" | 09:38 |
| sixofour | why don't we just work on getting dolphin fixed? | 09:38 |
| pyr3sayz | Err yea... I thought you only had files | 09:38 |
| baz | Titan8990, maybe i'm missing a source or something.. that search only gets me: kernel-package - A utility for building Linux kernel related Debian packages. >>>>> and some other "Comedi" thing | 09:39 |
| pyr3sayz | I also forgot the '\' before $FILE | 09:39 |
| sixofour | lol | 09:39 |
| Titan8990 | baz, yes, I am starting to think that the server version uses a different repo | 09:40 |
| sixofour | so remove it? | 09:40 |
| breeze | ibus can't focus in the opera | 09:40 |
| pyr3sayz | the last version I gave you should work (the '\' wasn't needed before I passed it into bash... it's like almost 3am though :P) | 09:40 |
| sixofour | nothing | 09:40 |
| sixofour | it just goes to the next empty line | 09:40 |
| pyr3sayz | sixofour: you need the '\' before $FILE | 09:40 |
| sixofour | .... | 09:40 |
| sixofour | i did that too same thing | 09:40 |
| breeze | who know how to deal with | 09:41 |
| pyr3sayz | Did you run that without the '\'? | 09:41 |
| sixofour | both | 09:41 |
| Titan8990 | baz, no mention of it in the ubuntu documentation though.... | 09:41 |
| ajopaul | when i want to conver a dvd vob file to flv format using ffmpeg i get frame rate mismatch error, output is here http://ffmpeg.pastebin.com/d77914298 | 09:42 |
| pyr3sayz | well, without the '\' it removed '/home/six' ... that's why I told you to run the final line that I gave you... | 09:42 |
| sixofour | i did it with both | 09:42 |
| sixofour | didn't work | 09:43 |
| pyr3sayz | is /home/six still there? | 09:43 |
| baz | Titan8990, i keep finding this, but you don't like the headers eh: sudo apt-get install linux-server linux-headers-server | 09:43 |
| sixofour | yes | 09:43 |
| sixofour | ive only copy pasted what you have given | 09:43 |
| Titan8990 | baz, headers is only needed for installing modules, you need the kernel image to boot it | 09:44 |
| Titan8990 | baz, give linux-server a shot | 09:44 |
| pyr3sayz | Change '-rf' to '-r' and run it (the 'f' is telling it not to complain) then tell me what it says | 09:44 |
| Titan8990 | baz, and go ahead and grab the headers, especially if you have modules such as alsa that will need them | 09:44 |
| sixofour | rm: cannot remove `Defaults.PspScript': No such file or directory | 09:45 |

| arussel | I just installed ubuntu on a Sony Vaio VGN-FW21M. The 'scrolling' from the touch pad doesn't work. What can I do ? | 09:46 |

| ddoom | anyone know why I can't access the unlock button on the administrative settings when I connect to ubuntu 8.04 via xdmcp or vnc? | 09:47 |
| koshari | a_: by replacing it | 09:47 |
| sixofour | if i could access /home/ in dolphin i can just "select all" "delete" lol | 09:47 |
| sixofour | ./home/six/ | 09:47 |

| alexmac | Hi | 09:49 |
| alexmac | I'm looking at instructions that say to : export VARIABLE=~/.something/something_else | 09:49 |
| alexmac | What does "~/.something" do? | 09:49 |
| rww | alexmac: ~/ is the same thing as /home/yourusername/ | 09:50 |
| pyr3sayz | sudo bash -c "unrar vb /mnt/ext3/Outgoing.rar | while read FILE;do rm -r \"/home/six/\$FILE\"; done" | 09:50 |
| alexmac | rww: I see, thanks | 09:50 |
| pyr3sayz | 'unrar lb archive.rar' wasn't giving the full path to the file | 09:50 |
| sixofour | lol i can't even open dolphin from konsole anymore | 09:50 |
| sixofour | unknown program name | 09:50 |
| baz | alexmac, also the .something is a file or folder that will be hidden by default since it starts with a period - usually for config/app stuff | 09:51 |
| Titan8990 | baz, sounds big but ubuntu kernel is bloated | 09:51 |
| sixofour | doesn't work pyr3sayz | 09:51 |

| rww | !ru | a_ | 09:51 |
| baz | Titan8990, all done, system restart required... see u soon :) thanks too! | 09:51 |
| alexmac | oh so it's a hidden file? | 09:51 |
| alexmac | or, should be at least? | 09:51 |
| archman | Anyone got Alcohol 120% working? | 09:52 |
| Titan8990 | baz, np | 09:52 |
| baz | i think the fact that it has a period means nautlius will hide it for you | 09:52 |
| rww | alexmac: It's hidden in "ls" on the command line, and in GNOME's file browser, by default, yes. To show hidden files in Nautilus/GNOME file browser, do View > Show Hidden Files. | 09:52 |
| alexmac | ah | 09:52 |
| alexmac | ok, cool | 09:52 |
| alexmac | I'm only using ssh, so I don't have gnome.. | 09:52 |
| alexmac | but thanks for the note | 09:53 |
| rww | alexmac: you'd use "ls -a" to see hidden files, then | 09:53 |
| alexmac | ah | 09:53 |
| alexmac | awesome, thanks | 09:53 |
| alexmac | so to make a directory hidden by default do you just do: mkdir .hidden | 09:53 |
| alexmac | (where hidden is the name of the dir) | 09:53 |
| sixofour | is there another file browser i can use? | 09:54 |
| sixofour | i got kde4 atm | 09:54 |
| rww | alexmac: .hidden would be the name of the dir, but yeah. I think nautilus does the same thing for files ending in ~, too, but ls shows them. | 09:54 |
| pyr3sayz | sixofour: so you're still getting the 'cannot access parent directories' error? | 09:55 |
| alexmac | thanks | 09:55 |
| sixofour | yes i can't open anything on the desktop either | 09:55 |
| pyr3sayz | sudo bash -c "unrar vb /mnt/ext3/Outgoing.rar | while read FILE;do rm -rv \"/home/six/\$FILE\"; done" | 09:55 |
| sixofour | can't | 09:55 |
| sixofour | i can't open konsole | 09:56 |
| pyr3sayz | hit control-alt-1 | 09:56 |

| jared | Question: This morning I was not able to enable Wireless, option is greyed out. What is wrong ? What can I do ? yesterday it worked just fine.... | 10:04 |
| alexmac | I set an environment variable inside of /etc/environment so that I have this | 10:04 |
| alexmac | variable="/home/.something/cert-something.pem" | 10:04 |
| jared | hey @ll | 10:05 |
| alexmac | but when I type in echo $variable, I get "export : '/home/.something/cert-something.pem': not a valid identifier | 10:05 |
| alexmac | Any idea waht could cause the ": not a valid identifier" error? | 10:05 |
| alexmac | hi jared | 10:05 |
| jared | let me see | 10:06 |
| rww | alexmac: Not sure. I haven't used /etc/environment, so I'm not aware of any nuances of it. | 10:07 |
| jared | echo works fine with me.. how did you set the variable ? | 10:07 |
| Jari-- | hi! anyone here familiar on using Linux and Chinese kb layout & pinyin ? | 10:07 |
| jared | hey Jari | 10:07 |
| alexmac | I set it inside of /etc/environment | 10:07 |

| nord_ | anyone who has set up an imapd without getting lag? I've 1,6 GB of mailbox (different imap directories) and its getting really slow. Any suggestions what to do? | 10:09 |
| === qedx_ is now known as qedx | ||
| jared | alexmax what do you mean by setting inside environment ? I did: set variable = .... | 10:10 |

| milligan | I have set up my nic in /etc/network/interfaces .. but it seems that dhcpclient or something else is running, causing me to get a dhcp ip. How can I disable the client ? I killed NetworkManager, but it STILL got the dhcp ip. | 10:11 |
| rww | milligan: can you paste your /etc/network/interfaces file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, please? | 10:11 |
| private | decided to update to 8.10 after the upgrade for network like everything on my network 10Mg/bits go to the terminal write sudo mii-tool-F 10baseT-FD eth0 gives error "SIOCSMIIREG on eth0 failed: Operation not supported" Well to my surprise later occasion that the network itself opredililas at 10 Mbit but vseravnoo nepashet Undecided. Give what to do? | 10:11 |
| alexmac | ok | 10:12 |
| alexmac | I figured it out... | 10:12 |
| alexmac | its because I was doing /home/.something | 10:12 |
| alexmac | turns out that it didn't like the .something | 10:12 |
| alexmac | maybe that is what the ~ is for haha | 10:12 |
| milligan | rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/129686/ -- ip is partially obfuscated. | 10:13 |
| ziroday | alexmac: why does your homedir begin with a .? That makes it hidden? | 10:13 |
| ziroday | milligan: we can still tell your IP :) | 10:13 |
| milligan | ziroday, because of the mask, or a lookup on me here? :) | 10:14 |
| ziroday | milligan: lookup on you here | 10:14 |
| milligan | brb | 10:14 |
| milligan | ah, nvm | 10:15 |
| milligan | Looks like a networking restart worked without d/c'ing me | 10:15 |
| opengyan | hello all !! help needed !! ubuntu on HP laptop ..... | 10:15 |
| sixofour | !!!!!!! | 10:15 |
| temporarytao | opengyan, what's the problem? | 10:16 |
| opengyan | touchpad click is soooooo much embrassing | 10:16 |
| milligan | rww, I have an idea what might be wrong.. the eth1 interface doesn't exist. Could it be that ubuntu somehow checks for up/down activity on eth1, according to this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=521154, and fires dhcp client based on that ? | 10:16 |
| opengyan | i wanted to stop it ..so changed the xorg.conf | 10:16 |
| sixofour | aw crap that guy messed my pc up and then elft -_- | 10:16 |
| opengyan | it was ok some time back...again started troubling | 10:16 |
| sixofour | baz: | 10:16 |

| opengyan | sorry man but i am on gutsy | 10:17 |
| opengyan | too lazy to upgrade ... | 10:17 |
| opengyan | temporarytao: 7.10 | 10:18 |
| temporarytao | opengyan, what specifically is the problem? what do you mean: "touchpad click is soooooo much embrassing" | 10:18 |
| opengyan | temporarytao: it toubles me while i type ...so i want to 1. disable the double click 2. if possible totally disable if i am typing | 10:19 |
| venu | I have downloaded intel 82845g graphics driver.. its extension is .gz. i don't know how to install it..can some one help me | 10:19 |
| temporarytao | doesn't your disable touchpad shortcut key work? | 10:19 |
| temporarytao | for me, if i press Fn + F7, the touchpad key locks | 10:20 |
| opengyan | temporarytao: i just installed ksyanputtic but now use | 10:20 |
| sixofour | god damnit | 10:20 |
| opengyan | temporarytao: agree it works . but re-enabling is an headache ...and some time the laptop just hangs ... | 10:20 |
| temporarytao | opengyan, i never heard of that software before (sounds like a KDE app) | 10:21 |
| opengyan | temporarytao: yes | 10:21 |
| temporarytao | you're on KDE? | 10:21 |
| sixofour | how do you access kubuntu install from a live cd? | 10:22 |
| temporarytao | sixofour, if you want to install kubuntu, i think you should download a kubuntu live cd | 10:22 |
| sixofour | i was listening to someone in here on a big issue blqah blah, now my install is broken and i can't log in | 10:22 |
| sixofour | i need to empty some space on my install drive | 10:23 |
| sixofour | so how do i do that | 10:23 |
| temporarytao | sixofour, delete stuff? :) | 10:24 |
| sixofour | how? | 10:24 |
| SlimeyPete | sixofour: "sudo apt-get clean" will often reclaim some space | 10:24 |
| sixofour | i'm on a livecd, i can't login because there is 0 bytes left on the drive | 10:24 |
| SlimeyPete | as it'll delete cached package files, which can amount to a few hundred megs sometimes | 10:24 |
| SlimeyPete | oh | 10:25 |
| sixofour | its not that, i unrared a file on the os drive and it ran out of space | 10:25 |
| sixofour | and instead of fixing dolphin they forced me to use the god damn console and now everything is fucked | 10:25 |
| temporarytao | sixofour, calm down | 10:25 |
| temporarytao | sixofour, so you're now trying a reinstall? | 10:25 |
| sixofour | 2 hours ago i knew exactly what i saw doing then i wasted the previous doing things the "easy" way :/ | 10:26 |
| Chousuke | sixofour: mount the drive, remove the files. | 10:26 |
| sixofour | and it only made everything worse | 10:26 |
| sixofour | how do i do that? | 10:26 |
| Chousuke | sixofour: from the livecd, you should be able to use nautilus or something to mount the drive. | 10:26 |
| sixofour | i don't know how to do any of that | 10:27 |
| Chousuke | sixofour: are you using the ubuntu livecd? | 10:27 |
| sixofour | i am now, yes | 10:27 |
| sixofour | before i wasn't | 10:27 |
| sixofour | but kubuntu cannot load anymore | 10:27 |
| sixofour | because the drive is full | 10:27 |
| Chousuke | sixofour: so, open the file manager | 10:27 |
| sixofour | ok dolphin is open | 10:28 |
| Chousuke | dolphin? that's kubuntu isn't it. :/ | 10:28 |
| sixofour | yes | 10:28 |
| Chousuke | I don't know how it works :( | 10:28 |
| sixofour | #kubutnu is dead as usual | 10:28 |
| sixofour | apparently no one knows anything | 10:28 |
| temporarytao | sixofour, can you navigate to your hd? | 10:28 |
| sixofour | i don't even know | 10:28 |
| Chousuke | sixofour: you'll have to open a terminal | 10:28 |
| sixofour | i have two hard drives | 10:29 |
| Chousuke | sixofour: because I have no idea how to do anything with dolphin :P | 10:29 |
| sixofour | yay more terminal work | 10:29 |
| Chousuke | it's not too difficult | 10:29 |
| sixofour | i don't want to know either, dolphin is a peice fo crap | 10:29 |
| dsdeiz | hi how do i move a folder using the terminal? | 10:29 |
| sixofour | its crashed 5 times an hour ago | 10:29 |
| Chousuke | dsdeiz: mv folder target/path | 10:29 |
| sixofour | konsole is open | 10:30 |
| dsdeiz | it says this unable to remove target: Is a directory | 10:30 |
| Chousuke | sixofour: the only problem will be identifying which disk and partition your kubuntu install is on. | 10:30 |
| Chousuke | dsdeiz: are you using mv? or rm? | 10:30 |
| sixofour | its on the 8Gb disk | 10:30 |
| sixofour | the other is 160GB | 10:30 |
| dsdeiz | mv | 10:30 |
| alexmac | hm | 10:30 |
| koshari | sixofour just boot a live disc, mount the drive, delete the archive and your back, i cant beleive this problem is still being discussed. | 10:30 |
| alexmac | alright im lost | 10:30 |
| Chousuke | koshari: he does not know how to do that. | 10:31 |
| alexmac | I've been trying to setup my environment variables for about the past hour | 10:31 |
| sixofour | i can't delete the archive, i need it | 10:31 |
| alexmac | How do you permanently set environment variables for all users? | 10:31 |
| sixofour | koshai i can't believe the problem is still here either | 10:31 |
| alexmac | I tried editing /etc/environment to include them | 10:31 |
| Chousuke | sixofour: so what do you intend to delete? you'll have to delete something. | 10:31 |
| alexmac | and if I do echo $VARIABLE it will print it out | 10:31 |
| koshari | sixofour well move the archive to the other drive, or a memory stick or whatever, | 10:31 |
| alexmac | but none of the programs I am trying to run can find them | 10:31 |
| sixofour | all i had to do was fucking select all and hit delete, but no, everyone wanted to do it through the konsole | 10:31 |
| alexmac | any ideas? | 10:31 |
| === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 | ||
| sixofour | it can't be moved anywhere | 10:32 |
| sixofour | its 9gb | 10:32 |
| Chousuke | then you will have to delete it. :P | 10:32 |
| sixofour | its not the archive thats the problem | 10:32 |
| Chousuke | or something else. | 10:32 |
| baz | sixofour, whats up | 10:32 |
| baz | sixofour, you are very dedicated i must say | 10:32 |
| sixofour | yeah baz knows wtf is going on, sorta :D | 10:32 |
| Chousuke | sixofour: anyway, you will need to identify the partition that is full | 10:32 |
| koshari | sixofour delete the apt cache, of the files you extracted from the archive are not anough. | 10:32 |
| sixofour | i went into ctrl+alt+f1 and had to restart, when i restarted it said something about "/" is broke or something, i don't know | 10:33 |
| Chousuke | uh, what. | 10:33 |
| sixofour | i'm asuming it has to do with the fact that the OS drive has 0 bytes free | 10:33 |
| alexmac | Can someone please help me with my environment variables? | 10:33 |
| temporarytao | sixofour, you prolly need to find where the temporary unrared files are stored | 10:33 |
| temporarytao | go there and delete everything in it | 10:33 |
| sixofour | i know what i need to do, the problem is doing it | 10:33 |
| sixofour | how? | 10:33 |
| sixofour | how do you access kubuntu install when your on a live cd? | 10:34 |
| Chousuke | sixofour: the partition's name is /dev/sdXN where X is a lowercase letter and N is a number | 10:34 |
| koshari | sixofour: use a live disc. | 10:34 |
| Chousuke | koshari: he is using one | 10:34 |
| Chousuke | koshari: the problem is, he does not know how to mount the drive. | 10:34 |
| sixofour | everything is in /home/six/ on the install | 10:34 |
| sixofour | in /home/six/ is about 53000 files | 10:34 |
| sixofour | if i could use dolphin or another gui, i could simple select all the files and hit the delete button | 10:35 |
| Chousuke | sixofour: yes, yes. it'll all be pretty easy once we get teh drive mounted. | 10:35 |
| koshari | sixofour what live disc are you using>? | 10:35 |
| sixofour | kubuntu 8.10 | 10:35 |
| Chousuke | sixofour: you'll even be able to use dolphin to select and delete stuff :P | 10:35 |
| sixofour | the one i installed with | 10:35 |
| sixofour | this whole problem is incredibly dumb lol | 10:36 |
| Chousuke | nah | 10:36 |
| Chousuke | it happens. | 10:36 |
| sixofour | the entier issue is i extracted a rar to tjhe wrong drive and the drive got full | 10:36 |
| Chousuke | your mistake was that you rebooted. | 10:36 |
| koshari | well i dunno how to automount in KDE, someone else should, otherwise you may need to mount it manually, you would use partimage to find the dev and then you would need to use terminal to mount the drive | 10:36 |
| Chousuke | with a full drive. | 10:36 |
| sixofour | well i hit ctrl alt f1 and couldn't get out | 10:36 |
| Chousuke | yeah, that was your mistake | 10:36 |
| sixofour | pyr**** what ever told me to hit that | 10:37 |
| sixofour | forgot his name | 10:37 |
| Chousuke | it happens though. | 10:37 |
| sixofour | he said go there because konsole couldn'topen [no room on drive i guess..lol] | 10:37 |
| shouge27 | idontknow | 10:37 |
| koshari | dont worry how you got here, concentrate on solving and moving on | 10:37 |
| sixofour | and to believe last tiem i used kubuntu i rebuild my own kernal :O | 10:38 |
| sixofour | how did i ever get that accomplishment? | 10:38 |
| koshari | sixofour why is prolly a better question | 10:38 |
| sixofour | so i need to find out how to mount /home/six/ | 10:38 |
| sixofour | i needed [and still need] a real time kernal for music production | 10:38 |
| temporarytao | sixofour, shouldn't that be available in the "places" menu of your install? | 10:39 |
| koshari | sixofour home/six is just the dir on an unknown (at present) dev. first you want to know what dev(ice)its on | 10:39 |
| Chousuke | the steps are clear: 1) identify the device file that is full. 2) mkdir -p /mnt/fulldrive/ 3) mount /dev/sdxn /mnt/fulldrive/ 4) cd /mnt/fulldrive/path/to/big/file 5) remove big file 6) hooray | 10:39 |
| sixofour | funny think, of all 3 partitions, none are full | 10:39 |
| sixofour | thing* | 10:39 |
| sixofour | according to dolphin | 10:39 |
| sixofour | what parting program does kubuntu have? | 10:40 |
| Chousuke | qparted? | 10:40 |
| koshari | sixofour dont worry about dolphin, gparted will give you a batter pic of how full the drives are. | 10:40 |
| sixofour | qparted command not found | 10:40 |
| Chousuke | hm | 10:40 |
| Chousuke | try qtparted | 10:40 |
| sixofour | qt g and q all not found | 10:41 |
| Chousuke | search the menus for a partitioning program then | 10:41 |

| _Linuxx_ | timetrick: do you get an IP from your router? | 10:59 |
| timetrick | _Linuxx_: yes | 10:59 |
| bazhang | ubuntu__, you are in #ubuntu-ru already | 10:59 |
| PerryArmstrong | koshari; and its hardy anyone who gets about 150 kbps | 10:59 |
| PerryArmstrong | koshari; and its hardly anyone who gets about 150 kbps | 10:59 |
| koshari | PerryArmstrong there are 3rd party people that ship linux discs | 10:59 |
| _Linuxx_ | timetrick: you cant ping the router? by ip. | 11:00 |
| timetrick | _Linuxx_, no | 11:00 |
| PerryArmstrong | koshari; is it free...and do you know the sites?? | 11:00 |
| _Linuxx_ | timetrick: do the outputs of iwconfig. and ifconfig look ok? | 11:00 |
| timetrick | _Linuxx_, yes | 11:00 |
| LOVELINUX | Hi .. Are there someone in here there knows how to open Wifi-Radar .. when i open it on my computer nothing happends. | 11:01 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: hmmm.. weird! Check your routing table: type "route -n" Is there a line starting 0.0.0.0? | 11:01 |
| timetrick | oCean_, yes | 11:01 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: that is your default route. 2nd field represents the gateway. Can you ping that address? | 11:02 |
| timetrick | _Linuxx_, yes, the look exactly like those on my laptop (of coure the mac adress & ip adress differs) | 11:02 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: when all is correctly configured (and working) it should be your router's ip | 11:02 |
| timetrick | oCean_, no cant ping it, but it is the routers ip | 11:02 |
| koshari | PerryArmstrong i dont think its free, go to distrowatch | 11:02 |
| PerryArmstrong | is beryl same as compiz?? | 11:03 |
| bazhang | PerryArmstrong, beryl no longer exists | 11:04 |
| hallow | hallo juga | 11:04 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: that seems all correct. Hmm. Currently, the interface is up&running? | 11:04 |
| PerryArmstrong | bazhang; okk..i was just reading the full cirle magazine, 2nd edition | 11:04 |
| baz | who hosts the servers that provide my software updates - is it canonical or does each program host its own? | 11:04 |
| timetrick | oCean_, give me a hint on how to check this | 11:04 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: open terminal and run "ifconfig -a" | 11:05 |
| koshari | baz conocial host ubuntu ones and other places mirror them round the world | 11:05 |
| Pupeno-G | What FS can I use in a 500GB hard disk that is used to make backups of an Ubuntu box that is also readable by Windows? | 11:05 |
| === silver is now known as Guest72051 | ||
| koshari | Pupeno-G ntfs | 11:05 |
| koshari | Pupeno-G or ext2 | 11:05 |
| baz | koshari, i just installed pidgin updates - those come from canonical and/or mirrors? | 11:05 |
| timetrick | oCean_, well the wlan0 interface appears (as many others...) and its information looks normal | 11:05 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: do you know how to use pastebin service? | 11:06 |
| koshari | baz depends on your locale | 11:06 |
| baz | koshari, seattle, WA, US | 11:06 |
| koshari | baz the files are the same however | 11:06 |
| timetrick | oCean_, well im sure i will findout | 11:06 |
| Pupeno-G | koshari: is it reliable to write to an ntfs partition with Ubuntu? | 11:06 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: use paste.ubuntu.com to paste any output | 11:06 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: then give the url here. That's all there is to it :) | 11:06 |
| koshari | Pupeno-G pretty much these days, ntfs support is very good | 11:06 |
| baz | koshari, how come everyone is so nice to provide the hosting - especially the mirrors, what do they get out of it | 11:06 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: run "ifconfig -a" and "route -n" and paste the output in pastebin | 11:06 |
| timetrick | oCean_, give me second then (output is on pc without internet access^^) | 11:07 |
| aberinkula | anyone good with zenoss ? | 11:07 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: oh yeah, right :/ | 11:07 |
| koshari | baz some hosts such as optus in aust have them for theyre customers | 11:07 |
| koshari | baz others such as education facilities have them for local users | 11:08 |
| RiotingPacifist | i did bad things to my filesystem, how can i mount a filesystem in such a way that a user can edit all the files (Even those originally owned by other users) | 11:09 |
| koshari | RiotingPacifist by changing the permissions, but its prolly not a good idea , better jsut to mount and edit as root i would think | 11:10 |
| timetrick | oCean_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/129696/ | 11:11 |
| RiotingPacifist | koshari: but even root cant edit 1 file, its owned by sync and isnt even meant to be a file, fsck 'corrected an error' but changed a directory to a file, i can rebuild the dir but not until ive removed the file | 11:12 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: ok. lemme have a look | 11:12 |
| Speedy059 | Any good tutorials on how to install VNC via SSH? I'm familiar with SSH, just not VNC... | 11:12 |

| silv3r_m002 | hi there | 11:13 |
| m3gaman | is there a way to change the screen resolution from the terminal | 11:13 |
| silv3r_m002 | which tool can I use to discover computers in a LAN | 11:13 |
| silv3r_m002 | ? | 11:13 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: ah, on wlan0 there is also an ipv6 address. That might be the problem. | 11:13 |
| timetrick | oCean_, another question: is there a minimum wlan quality ubuntu can handle with? therefor does the signal strength needs to be higher then, eg, 20? | 11:13 |
| * ScottG489 is away: Gone away for now | 11:14 | |
| timetrick | oCean_, ok, then lets remove it? | 11:14 |

| oCean_ | timetrick: I'm not totally sure that those cannot be use together, but I've blacklisted my ipv6 module. I Think a lot others have too | 11:14 |
| timetrick | ok | 11:14 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: "cd /etc/modprobe.d" and open (in editor) the file called blacklist. Add (at bottom) "blacklist ipv6" | 11:15 |
| timetrick | oCean_, done | 11:17 |

| timetrick | oCean_, k | 11:18 |
| majnoon | PerryArmstrong, try skype | 11:18 |
| PerryArmstrong | majnoon; does skype allow logging with yahoo and gtalk?? | 11:18 |
| oCean_ | PerryArmstrong: no, skype is closed network | 11:19 |
| PerryArmstrong | oCean_; then any solution to my problem?? | 11:19 |
| majnoon | only versions of google and yahoo i know of that have voice are for WINDOWS only :( | 11:19 |
| PerryArmstrong | majnoon; okk | 11:19 |
| majnoon | skype free and has windows version too | 11:20 |
| oCean_ | PerryArmstrong: nope, sorry. You might want to take a dive in the forums... | 11:20 |
| majnoon | and if pay CAN call land phones too | 11:20 |
| PerryArmstrong | oCean_; thank you...i guess i'll try there | 11:20 |
| timetrick | oCean_, ok rebooted, but still cant ping neither google nor my router | 11:21 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: Hmm.. not good. But you did get an ip? And "ifconfig wlan0" output is same? (without the ipv6 address this time?) | 11:22 |

| bazhang | sion, please join #ubuntu-th and stop chatting here | 11:25 |
| timetrick | oCean_, yeah, same question here | 11:25 |
| timetrick | oCean_, maybe because the wlan signal is weak? | 11:25 |
| timetrick | <20% | 11:25 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: hmm, yeah. That's not *really* good, but I would think it would disconnect | 11:26 |
| sion | I is GM | 11:26 |
| bazhang | sion, please stop | 11:26 |
| sion | NO | 11:26 |
| Scooma | timetrick, i have trouble getting a signal with strength less than 34% | 11:27 |
| timetrick | oCean_, hm i did nothing to the drivers as ubuntu made the stick run out of the box, maybe i shoud try ndiswrapper? | 11:27 |
| timetrick | Scooma, in what do your problems result? | 11:27 |
| Scooma | timetrick, no i don't have any probs ;) | 11:28 |
| timetrick | Scooma, that it should work here as well, shouldnt it? | 11:28 |
| oCean_ | timetrick: run command "dmesg" > in output you should see the wlan0 associating with the AP... maybe also a disconnect? | 11:29 |
| timetrick | oCean_, no disconnect | 11:30 |
| timetrick | oCean_, but wlan0 registers with AP.... | 11:31 |
| ubuntu__ | привет | 11:31 |
| timetrick | so should i try using ndiswrapper instead of normal driver then? | 11:32 |
| MonsieurY1 | je recherche un site pour me monter un pc low cost (350) media center, qui pourrait regrouper les cartes tuner, telecomande, compatible ubuntu..si vous avez un site intéressant... | 11:32 |

| Scooma | timetrick, is there any security on your router? MAC restrictions? | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 11:36 |
| timetrick | Scooma, no just the wpa2 | 11:36 |
| Scooma | timetrick, are you able to switch off the security for the moment and try connecting without it? | 11:36 |
| timetrick | Scooma, i tried that already, still no changes | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | timetrick: some wifi chips under linux dont do wpa | 11:37 |
| Scooma | timetrick, because this line: RX packets:95 TX packets:226 implies that you're being blocked at the router | 11:37 |
| timetrick | Scooma, ActionParsnip ok but i tried without security already, did not work either | 11:39 |

| ActionParsnip | daftykins: i always include a rollback method | 11:49 |

| keith4 | wers: you're using the liveCD? just reboot, it'll be fixed | 12:04 |

| Scooma | lesshaste, from the bug doc does it say it's fixed for intrepid? | 12:04 |
| lesshaste | Scooma, I don't see anything really saying it's fixed | 12:05 |

| BobSapp | does anyone know of an application based virtual network client? | 12:09 |
| BobSapp | it basically sets up a tunnel using a website as the negotiator | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | BobSapp: tunnelling of what kind? | 12:11 |
| BobSapp | of a network connection, sort of like a ssh tunnel | 12:11 |
| BobSapp | so tcp network traffic | 12:11 |
| BobSapp | maybe udp too | 12:11 |
| remoteCTRL | amarok comes with tons of prestored radio stations but most of them give me a "no suitable decoder found" error, how can i fis this? | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | BobSapp: do you mean like a http based VNC connection so users do not need to install client software | 12:11 |
| Scooma | lesshaste, as it gets nuked whenever you reboot, try it for a while | 12:11 |
| BobSapp | ActionParsnip: not like that, aparently theres an application that automatically sets up a VPN | 12:12 |
| BobSapp | so you run the client on internet connected computers, and the client contacts a web service on the internet | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | BobSapp: i dont know about automatically creating one, i can give you a guide on creating a vpn though | 12:13 |
| BobSapp | hmmmmm | 12:13 |
| BobSapp | no thanks ActionParsnip, ill keep googling | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | BobSapp: try www.ask.com too | 12:13 |

| deepz | anyone help pls "I notice that the crash doesn't happen when firefox is started from the command line. It crashes only when Firefox is started from the Ubuntu GUI menu. Does this have something to do with the plugin initialization? | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | runpain2: ? | 12:27 |
| keith4 | ttmrichter: lsof | 12:27 |
| ttmrichter | keith4: lsof is saying that the mount point is not in use. | 12:28 |
| runpain2 | you said put the .so in the folder for mozzila | 12:28 |
| keith4 | ttmrichter: not possible. lsof only shows you things that are open. it cannot show you what is *not* open | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | runpain2: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | runpain2: then cp the .so file to the new folder | 12:29 |

| macvr | hi all... i usually use suspend , some times it works fine but sometimes i see that several programs run in multiples, like i have 3 instances of the wireless running.... now when i press suspend and resumes it goes in 3 cycles of resume and suspend before i can use the system again...! i know that restarting solves the problem , is there anyway to do it just by logging out and logging bak in? | 12:32 |
| ttmrichter | keith4: I'm not that 100% certain. I've noticed that bash in particular likes to leave pieces of itself hanging around at times after you've typed "exit". I'm just trying to figure out why the kernel says the device is busy when nothing else will tell me what's making it busy.

| lfaraone | ActionParsnip: what should I do next in terms of debugging? | 12:58 |

| * marcel1607 crying | 12:59 | |
| corey | Pici: This question leads into others that do deal with ubuntu such as how do i do it | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | piyushchandra: if its an ubuntu shippit cd it should be ok, checking the cd for defects is essential though. You could try heading into your bios to disable stuff like power management and sound cards and network cards, just until you get installed | 12:59 |
| corey | Incarus: yes | 12:59 |
| lfaraone | Incarus: I'm having issues with icedtea6-plugin on my amd64 lappy when it works fine on my amd64 desktop. | 12:59 |
| DIFH-iceroot | corey: i was using darwin streaming server at it takes 400kb/s with sound in a good resolution | 12:59 |
| bn43 | marcel1607: sarcasm is also not warranted | 12:59 |
| marcel1607 | you should use icetea on amd64, it doesnt work, either get sun java 6 build 12 or get the jaunty package for sun-java6 | 13:00 |

| futuh | marcell607 yeah.. | 13:02 |
| Myrtti | bn43: in general, most hp printers should work with hplip | 13:02 |
| marcel1607 | corey, get vuze from the website, the current package has bugs in ubuntu | 13:02 |
| beli | hi, is it possible to start an Xapp from remote and display it local AND remote? so it can be interacted with the applications on the local AND the remote box? | 13:02 |
| bn43 | Myrtti: yes that is my experience too but this one is really giving me problems and the user has to keep on going into windows to print properly | 13:03 |
| corey | How do I set up a JBOD array? | 13:03 |
| daftykins | corey, RAID controllers generally just need you to go into the controller BIOS, set the disks as non-RAID then they'll become available | 13:03 |
| jrib | beli: system -> preferences -> remote desktop? | 13:03 |
| bn43 | which implies to me that there something wrong on the ubuntu setup | 13:03 |
| BZH | does any body has ubuntu with cable internet ?? | 13:03 |
| marcel1607 | bn43, choose a different driver for your printer, ppds are downloadable from linuxprinting.org, go to localhost:631 to manage printers | 13:03 |
| Damir | I need help for rrdtool | 13:04 |
| spionlala | how can i change the apt-get autoremove behaviour? it always wants to remove some programs i still need only because those programs arent needed by any other packages... | 13:04 |
| DIFH-iceroot | BZH: yes | 13:04 |
| beli | jrib: i am a console guy....and thats not what i want...i want to start the xapp on BOTH sides | 13:04 |
| bn43 | marcel1607: thanks I will try that | 13:04 |
| corey | In JBOD if a disk fails do you lose all data? | 13:04 |
| daftykins | spionlala, is it not just an option to avoid running autoremove? | 13:04 |
| Myrtti | Damir: you're not asking a very specific question, which might be the reason why you're not getting any answers | 13:04 |
| jrib | spionlala: well that's what autoremove means... Install the packages explicitly | 13:04 |
| beli | s/start/show up/ | 13:04 |
| Incarus | spionlala, jaunty or intrepid? | 13:04 |
| m3gaman | ls | 13:04 |
| spionlala | intrepid | 13:04 |
| Damir | Ok I have no MAX, AVG and MIN values in the database | 13:05 |
| corey | In JBOD if a disk fails do you lose all data? | 13:05 |
| spionlala | jrib: so they wont get autoremoved if i install those packages again explicitly? | 13:05 |
| Incarus | spionlala, and kde4, or? | 13:05 |
| lesshaste | Scooma, sorry I popped out | 13:05 |
| daftykins | yes corey | 13:05 |
| lfaraone | Incarus: hm? the x86 package won't install... | 13:05 |
| lesshaste | Scooma, did I miss something? | 13:05 |
| spionlala | no not kde4 | 13:05 |
| spionlala | incarus | 13:05 |
| Damir | But I put data in the database | 13:05 |
| Damir | every 60 seconds | 13:05 |
| MauricioR | hi, i have a friend who has windows vista and only thing out of what he showed i could not do was that he could shut up any application he chose with the mixer | 13:05 |
| jrib | beli: that's the only way I know. You can run whatever it is that remote desktop is in a shell if you want | 13:05 |
| daftykins | corey JBOD = just a bunch of disks, there is nothing RAID working at all, a disc is just used directly via the controller | 13:05 |
| Incarus | spionlala, k | 13:05 |

| daftykins | corey, i think vista has features to resize during reboot or something similar, just go and check | 13:08 |
| beli | lfaraone: you can do amazing stuff with X....i guess it is possible just by setting some DO | 13:08 |

| daftykins | BZH if you have a cable modem, with a second network interface plugged into it, you should be able to just enable DHCP on that interface and you'll get an IP and settings to connect | 13:12 |

| zerlor | hmm okey and how is the kde paket called i have to install? | 13:14 |

| LakesProse | in a ftp daemon, what is the advantage of having virtual users ? | 13:15 |
| futuh | why dpkg-reconfigure is just only setting keyboard, not resolution? | 13:15 |
| daftykins | futuh, because X.org does gfx settings automatically now, doesn't really use the file | 13:15 |
| daftykins | futuh, you can still force settings by entering them in there | 13:16 |
| Slart | LakesProse: not having to create real users for your system and then have to disable them for everything but ftp | 13:16 |

| lfaraone | beli: enable VNC on the server, SSH into the server with X forwarding, and then use vinagre on the server (which spawns a window on the client) | 13:22 |
| Slart | LakesProse: and I know I can just uninstall the ftp server and those usernames are gone | 13:22 |
| ikonia | wers: how did you change the uid to 80 ? | 13:22 |
| ikonia | wers: and why did you do that on your install ? | 13:22 |
| lfaraone | beli: that way you don't need any additional client software. | 13:22 |
| LakesProse | Slart: that's true, true | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | vigo: sure: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 13:22 |
| beli | lfaraone: vinagre...ok reading...thanks | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | vigo: before you log in, change the session to whichever you want | 13:22 |
| sides | Incarus u with me ? | 13:23 |
| LakesProse | Slart: so there isn't really a security advantage in having virtual users, it seems more like hygiene | 13:23 |
| Slart | LakesProse: but on the other hand.. if I cared about those users I guess it would be easier to create system accounts.. that way I could change ftp server without having to recreate the accounts | 13:23 |

| gencha | i'm on 8.04.1 and am trying to enable mod_logio for apache2 but i can neither find the module nor fine it in the apt repositories | 13:33 |
| gencha | is it deprecated or something? or am i looking in the wrong spots? | 13:34 |
| lfaraone | gencha: then maybe it's not packaged. | 13:34 |
| lfaraone | gencha: was it included in other versions of ubuntu? | 13:34 |
| Jackaruto | I'm trying to install ubuntu on an emachine however, the CD seems to know I'm not installing an MS product and won't boot, any MS product I put in the drive will boot from CD but my know good ubuntu CD will not? | 13:34 |
| lfaraone | Jackaruto: did you change the BIOS settings to ALWAYS boot from CD? | 13:34 |
| gencha | lfaraone: can't say, this is the first i'm using | 13:34 |
| Jackaruto | yes | 13:35 |
| lfaraone | Jackaruto: no idea then. | 13:35 |
| lfaraone | Jackaruto: that *should* be illegal, but it might not be in your area :) | 13:35 |
| Jackaruto | is it possible to restice a CD boot up to an MS product | 13:35 |
| lfaraone | Jackaruto: sure. | 13:35 |
| ArcSighter | hello all | 13:35 |
| lfaraone | gencha: looks like it's just unpackaged. What exactly does this mod_ do? (is there anything packaged that does the same thing?) | 13:36 |
| Incarus | JAckaruto, wow, which country? | 13:36 |
| Jackaruto | US | 13:36 |
| gencha | "This module provides the logging of input and output number of bytes received/sent per request." | 13:36 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: yesterday you were guiding to me to do some tests about my intrepid slowdown issues, are you there? | 13:36 |
| Jackaruto | I've got 12 PC I've buitl myself all running nix | 13:36 |
| Jackaruto | never had a problem | 13:36 |
| gencha | well it's needed to use a certain feature in mod_security, thus i was looking for it | 13:36 |
| lfaraone | Jackaruto: odd. | 13:36 |
| Jackaruto | tell my buddy brings me this dman emachine | 13:36 |
| lfaraone | gencha: hm... | 13:36 |
| Scooma | gencha, i think there's a debian rpm package... also you might need to alien it to convert it? | 13:37 |
| zerlor | slart: i have installed the kde enviroment | 13:37 |
| zerlor | now how can i start it? | 13:37 |
| ikonia | ArcSighter: yes, I asked you 10 minutes ago if you had the vmstat output I asked for yesterday | 13:37 |
| Slart | zerlor: log out and search for the session button | 13:37 |
| gencha | well i don't really rely on the feature but it would have been nice to have. thanks :) | 13:37 |
| zerlor | okey and can i start it in a virutal consol? | 13:37 |
| Travis-42 | after I change an Authorization (system->administration->authorizations), do I have to do anything to make it go into effect (E.g. reboot)? | 13:37 |
| zerlor | then i could start kde and gnome | 13:37 |
| lfaraone | gencha: well, you have two options: a) install it from source B) package it yourself and maintain it in Ubuntu so others can benefit from your work :) | 13:37 |
| Slart | zerlor: let me see if I can find a screenshot for you... here is one.. http://www.cs.wisc.edu/twiki/bin/view/CSDocs/GnomeDesktopFAQs | 13:38 |
| gencha | lfaraone: good point ;) | 13:38 |
| Slart | zerlor: the first picture even has a nice big black arrow pointing it out =) | 13:38 |

| zerlor | be back in some minutes=) | 13:39 |
| Slart | zerlor: if it isn't there you might have to enable it in system, administration, login window | 13:39 |
| ArcSighter | ikonia: wait | 13:39 |
| lfaraone | gencha: if you do decide to package it, #ubuntu-motu will be more than glad to help you out. (although I recommend pushing your package through Debian so that both distros will benefit) | 13:39 |
| Incarus | JAckaruto, and whats about usb keys? | 13:39 |
| Jackaruto | ? | 13:40 |
| Scooma | Travis-42, you needed to change something in there to make something work, yes? so try to do it again and if it works, no. if it doesn't, maybe you need to restart your shell (or logout/login) | 13:40 |
| Incarus | JAckaruto, bootable usb key | 13:40 |
| erbi | shuttutututufuckfuieeeup | 13:40 |

| Jackaruto | hum? maybe, I haven't any flash drives | 13:40 |
| Slart | erbi: yes, you're keyboard works.. no, that wasn't a good thing to test it with | 13:40 |
| lfaraone | Jackaruto: does windows boot currently? | 13:40 |
| JarG0n | I have a service running on a port that is not recognized via netstat -apn. I can connect to it via telnet, but don't know what commands to issue. Can anyone help? | 13:40 |
| Jackaruto | that a things I'm always going to get aournd to buying but never do | 13:40 |
| lfaraone | Jackaruto: you can use unetbootin to do a netinstall. | 13:41 |
| Jackaruto | yes | 13:41 |
| Incarus | Jackaruto, have you got a floppy drive? | 13:41 |
| Jackaruto | no | 13:41 |
| Scooma | Kuukkeli^, what's the problem with the driver? you don't want it? | 13:41 |
| Jackaruto | I guess I could add one | 13:41 |
| lfaraone | Jackaruto: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 13:41 |
| Incarus | Jackaruto, and windows is working? | 13:41 |
| Kuukkeli^ | Could anyone help me with my ATI driver being Proprietary problem? | 13:41 |
| Incarus | <Kuukkeli^>, sure, whats the problem? | 13:41 |
| lfaraone | Jackaruto: that requires only a net connection, it installs via the LiveCD or alternate net install. (the latter is faster) | 13:41 |
| Jackaruto | yes I know it, never used it before | 13:42 |
| Incarus | Jackaruto, wubi is also good | 13:42 |
| lfaraone | Jackaruto: I use it all the time, it's very easy | 13:42 |
| Kuukkeli^ | Incarus, well the ubuntu isn't working smoothly at all and i think the reason is because my ATI drivers are proprietary. | 13:42 |
| lfaraone | Incarus: but that's not a good idea for stability :) | 13:42 |

| Scooma | JarG0n, it just means that it couldn't identify the application using it - possibly it's because it belongs to a service started by root? | 13:45 |
| zerlor | slart: not so important wil find it out;) because then its possible to have 2 grapic enviroment at the same time.. like kde and gnome... ah how can i update this kde verison? just apt-get update and upgrade? | 13:45 |

| lesshaste | I get a lot of messages like (firefox:26389): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed | 14:05 |
| lesshaste | any ideas about that? | 14:05 |
| usr13 | jaspal4805: If you do not see the wifi device listed in the output of lspci you may need to check bios settings to see if it is dissabled. You might also have a defective device - one that no longer works. But at any rate, you need to identify it. Try command: iwconfig | 14:05 |

| MasterZ | hmmm, another problem... I have the ubuntu box on the network, I am curreontly remoted into it from my mac, but the ubuntu box cannot see the internet | 14:07 |
| MauricioR | to program in ubuntu which is better, java or c#? i want to learn a computer language | 14:07 |
| thread2fork | that depends on what you are planing to code | 14:07 |
| Scooma | lesshaste, yeah that's a flash problem | 14:07 |
| MauricioR | thank you my friend, muchos gracias | 14:07 |
| usr13 | MasterZ: Can the mac "see the internet"? | 14:07 |
| thread2fork | i personally would start with c# | 14:07 |
| MasterZ | i'm on it now talking to you :) | 14:08 |
| Scooma | lesshaste, remember how the leftover socket file might be audio/flash related? | 14:08 |

| ubilicios | Hey all. I am having a problem. I am trying to get to a website that is dropping packets. Now on my windows machine it dosen't drop packets and it connects no probs | 14:12 |
| usr13 | MasterZ: (Don't flood, just send pertainent info.) If your router's IP address is 205.168.1.1 you should have access to internet. Check to see if you are resolving domain names: host av.com | 14:12 |
| ubilicios | Anything I can do to help my ubuntu client? | 14:12 |
| MasterZ | host av.com is timing out I think | 14:12 |
| lesshaste | can you get flash 10 for hardy? | 14:13 |
| MasterZ | yp, timed out | 14:13 |
| MasterZ | yup* | 14:13 |
| QQQ | hey ho, is there anyone who can tell me how to install applications to an external drive? (otherwise my EEE-PCs storage kills me one day) | 14:13 |
| usr13 | MasterZ: That is the problem, resolv.conf does not contain nameserver address. Either your router's DHCP server failed to send it, or Ubuntu's dhcp client timed out before receiving it. | 14:13 |
| MasterZ | how do I fix that? | 14:13 |
| Scooma | MasterZ, yeah you need to have this line in your resolv.conf nameserver 205.168.1.1 | 14:13 |
| Slart | ubilicios: what kind of network connection are you using? wired? wireless? | 14:14 |
| ubilicios | Slart: Wired. | 14:14 |
| rrofl | wow big group | 14:14 |
| MasterZ | bingo, Thanks Scooma | 14:15 |
| rrofl | can anyone tell me if a desktop comes packaged with the server (8-04) installation please? | 14:15 |
| usr13 | MasterZ: You can manually add a nameserver like this: cat >> /etc/resolv.conf and then on the next line type: nameserver 205.168.1.1 and then do: Ctrl-D (hold Ctrl key and hit letter d) | 14:15 |
| lesshaste | I thought it was in hardy backports | 14:15 |
| lesshaste | but it isn't listed | 14:15 |
| MasterZ | I keep forgeting about the cat >> shortcut.. I always vi it lol | 14:15 |
| iixzzzzz | im using konversation client how can display my systeminfo ? | 14:15 |
| usr13 | MasterZ: sudo cat >> /etc/reslov.conf | 14:15 |

| QQQ | is my patience worth it (or should I resend my question or search for help somewhere else?) | 14:17 |
| Scooma | iixzzzzz, when you say system info do you mean uname -a ? | 14:18 |

| iixzzzzz | Scooma yes alot with umm space mem g/card etc etc | 14:18 |
| daftykins | rrofl, that defeats the purpose of installing the server version somewhat, but you can "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" on server | 14:18 |
| Scooma | iixzzzzz, ah you want to look in /proc then | 14:19 |
| Slart | ubilicios: no response when I tried it from my browser.. how do you determine that it is packet loss you're experiencing? | 14:19 |
| usr13 | corey: Yes | 14:19 |
| rrofl | scooma, oh yeah ill start with installing xinit :) | 14:19 |
| MasterZ | hmmm, question, I'm setting up 3 1TB drives in a raid 5 configuration... should I make them all 1 big partition or make a few smaller ones? | 14:19 |
| ubilicios | Slart: I ran wireshark | 14:19 |
| mikevankuik | how can I auto login a user? I only have assess via ssh... I know its posible just not sure how to do it again... | 14:19 |
| Scooma | iixzzzzz, ie - cat /proc/meminfo | 14:19 |

| ubilicios | But in windows its just like any other web site. Fast loading. | 14:21 |
| Slart | ubilicios: ok.. perhaps I didn't let it run for a long enough time | 14:21 |
| iixzzzzz | huh ? | 14:21 |

| ActionParsnip | rrofl: that will repair your desktop o default settings | 14:23 |
| Scooma | ubilicios, more memory maybe? | 14:23 |
| usr13 | iixzzzzz: You need something like pastebin? | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | rrofl: its installed all over the place, its not like windows where there is a program files folder | 14:24 |
| rrofl | i have server version, am booting into command line | 14:24 |
| Scooma | PerryArmstrong, there are problems with hibernation | 14:24 |
| rrofl | no i mean what location is the launcher | 14:24 |
| ubilicios | Scooma: Its not a memory issue | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | rrofl: the stuff apps use is scattered so it can be reused | 14:24 |
| Scooma | PerryArmstrong, it's a bug for quite a lot of systems still | 14:24 |
| usr13 | corey: No, just alsamixer | 14:24 |
| PerryArmstrong | Scooma; you mean there's no solution yet? | 14:24 |
| Slart | ubilicios: well.. I doubt it's something in ubuntu.. I would check the web site more carefully.. perhaps it's really really unoptimized for anything non-IE | 14:24 |
| rrofl | how can i launch gnome from command line? | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | rrofl: launcher for what, can you please type my name at the start of lines if you are addressing me | 14:24 |
| Scooma | ubilicios, i mean allocate more memory to the vm to make it run faster | 14:24 |
| b4cchus | gdm? | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | rrofl: startx | 14:24 |
| Slart | ubilicios: but I'm just guessing.. I don't see anything suspicious | 14:24 |

| usr13 | rrofl: gdm | 14:24 |
| ubilicios | Slart: I know its not Ubuntu, my fedora client does it as well | 14:25 |
| rrofl | actionparsnip when i run startx it says i need to install xinit | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rrofl: did you install ubuntu-server? | 14:25 |
| Scooma | PerryArmstrong, no there are solutions but ... quite a few hardware clients don't work... it's something to be addressed eventually... | 14:25 |
| rrofl | usr13 gdm is not found | 14:25 |
| ubilicios | Scooma: VM is not even being used | 14:25 |
| werner-xfs | will i lose setuid by using cp and mv ? | 14:25 |

| mikerose357 | so I'm stuck with garbage 1024 x 768 | 14:46 |
| w30 | My Compiz mouse button is set to rotate cube on middle button but it has universal focus. How can I set that so it only works when focused on a bate desktop area and not mess up paste when focused in a window of an editor or xterm for example? | 14:46 |
| w30 | bate/bare | 14:47 |
| mikerose357 | w30 I don't think thats just a misconfiguration I believe thats a bug its not set to rotate everywhere it just does due to buggy behavior I don't know what the fix is | 14:47 |
| usr13 | mikerose357: xorgconfig is the manual command to configure the X server. | 14:49 |
| w30 | mikerose357, my PClinuxOS setup works only on bare desktop so maybe I will will have to ask them how to do it. | 14:49 |
| donjuanluis07 | if someone has not use the HPLIP Fax program then could someone send me to the right chat for it? | 14:49 |

| usr13 | mikerose357: I don't think that it is the nvidia card that is shutting the monitor off. I think it is the monitor that is just not accepting out of range signal. | 14:49 |
| usr13 | mikerose357: What is your monitor? | 14:50 |
| snowveil | every time I click my mouse, it actually double-clicks...and the sensitivity is up extremely high. Does anyone have any idea why it might be doing this? | 14:50 |

| jtaji | slerder: install ntfsprogs, then all ntfs operations will work in gparted | 15:00 |
| genii | slerder: From a livecd you need package installed which first supports the fs or so you are trying to partition/format for. So ntfs-progs | 15:00 |

| luca | w30: i installed ubuntu.. and use gnome but i installed the packet kubuntu-desktop that i can choose between the enviroments | 15:04 |
| slerder | jtaji and genii thanks it worked great. Now I have another problem though. When i try to create a new partition it says It is not possible to create more than 4 primary partitions. What should i do? is there some way i can change some partitions to not primary (logical) all the partitions i have on that drive are only for media files. thanks | 15:04 |
| thiebaude | luca: yes | 15:04 |
| KewliOO | can someone help me | 15:04 |
| luca | w30: then i realised that kubuntu-desktop is the 3.5 version of kde | 15:04 |
| m3gaman | no need to be sorry...I just don't understand why people can't have some patients... | 15:04 |
| PerryArmstrong | can anyone explain me the difference between 'who' and 'who am i' commands | 15:04 |
| thiebaude | at the log in prompt choose sessions | 15:05 |
| theonelostmodder | im an impatient person | 15:05 |
| luca | so i decided to install kubuntu4-deskotp .. thats the new version and i want to remove the old version | 15:05 |
| jtaji | slerder: if you already have 4 primaries, you'll need to delete one, and then you can put one or more logicals in that space | 15:05 |
| m3gaman | then hit google and figure out the answer for your self | 15:05 |
| luca | w30: do you understand what i mean? | 15:05 |
| theonelostmodder | i am while i wait | 15:05 |
| theonelostmodder | hoping to find the answer | 15:05 |
| slerder | jtaji, but cant i just change a parition from primary to logical? | 15:06 |
| jtaji | slerder: unforutnately no | 15:06 |
| m3gaman | theonelostmodder:: great...then there is no need to ask again in here | 15:06 |
| KewliOO | can someone tell me how to get into the GUI of Ubuntu 8.10....All it shows wheh it boots is " GRUB> | 15:06 |
| theonelostmodder | :P | 15:06 |
| KewliOO | ?? | 15:06 |
| slerder | jtaji.. mm that seems absurd. I think ill just use acronis disk director for windows then...Im pretty sure i can use that | 15:07 |
| theonelostmodder | if u know the answer u could just tell me | 15:07 |
| Scunizi | KewliOO: do you have more than one drive in your machine? | 15:07 |
| w30 | luca, gotcha, but I am afraid I can't help on that one except to say removing KDE3 is complicated because it affects so much other stuff. | 15:07 |
| KewliOO | yes | 15:07 |
| m3gaman | theonelostmodder:: yeah and if I did I would have told you...just like im sure if someone else knew the answer they would have let you know... | 15:07 |
| Scunizi | KewliOO: Grub is the bootloader and didn't install correctly or on the right drive.. I'll have ubottu give you a link | 15:07 |
| KewliOO | I have 3 Hard drives and one cd-R/dvdrom | 15:07 |

| snowveil | theonelostmodder, have you tried playing it back on your standard monitor? | 15:08 |
| snowveil | are you sure you have the right video codecs? | 15:08 |
| luca | w30: ah okey thats the problem ;) i tryed just to remove kubuntu-desktop but then saw that it didnt work;) but no porlbem will find it out =) | 15:08 |

| Scunizi | KewliOO: np | 15:08 |

| Lindsay2009 | hi - i have found a replacement DVD rom drive for my ubuntu machine, and i'm wondering if it works perfectly, could i use it to read my NTFS dvd-rs | 15:09 |
| theonelostmodder | k ty snow ill try. it works on the laptop screen just not on the tv thru the rgb (vga) connection | 15:09 |
| Scunizi | Lindsay2009: the proof is when you try it and it works.. | 15:10 |
| snowveil | if it works on the laptop screen that's probably not the issue theonelostmodder | 15:10 |
| QQQ | Lindsay2009 why dont you try it? | 15:10 |
| sim-value | what an NTFS DVD rs ? | 15:10 |
| QQQ | ^^ | 15:10 |
| Lindsay2009 | NTFS Is a windows file format | 15:10 |
| Lindsay2009 | and dvd-r is a burnt dvdrom disc | 15:10 |
| sim-value | actually filesystem | 15:10 |
| sim-value | ajep.. | 15:10 |
| jtaji | Lindsay2009: there is no such thing as NTFS formatted optical discs, but yes you will be able to read any format used on DVDs | 15:10 |
| snowveil | Lindsay2009 , the dvds won't be ntfs | 15:10 |
| Scunizi | but to combine ntft and dvd is not correct | 15:10 |
| mikerose357 | ok another question, some programs if I try to start them from konsole like so "sudo kate" tell me command not found | 15:11 |
| mikerose357 | and yet just "kate" works fine | 15:11 |
| theonelostmodder | ok ill try to gogle the issue as no one here has the answer. if all else fails theres alwasy google | 15:11 |
| theonelostmodder | *always | 15:11 |
| Lindsay2009 | jtaji - k. but i do need any additional tools to access my data files from the disc? | 15:11 |
| sim-value | and if you use su ... | 15:11 |
| sim-value | ? | 15:11 |
| Scunizi | mikerose357: you should start graphic programs with gksudo not sudo | 15:11 |
| mikerose357 | su doens't even fundtion | 15:11 |
| sim-value | ? | 15:11 |
| jtaji | Lindsay2009: nope | 15:12 |
| Lindsay2009 | alright. thank you. | 15:12 |
| PKodon | Umm, when you say "it's the old version", are you talking about it being KDE 3.x? | 15:12 |

| laic | Hi, can somebody shed some light on hardware. I plan to build a desktop for editing some HDV probably using Kino and Cinelerra which I have minimum experience on my present system running 8.04 on 32 bit with 1GB of RAM, a system I built 7 or 8 years ago. THANKS. | 15:27 |
| Achoth | storbeck: Is it as simple as apt-get install sendmail? | 15:28 |
| sipior | JarG0n: i meant: what precise code is being executed to determine the presence of a sniffer. there are a number of possibilities, and an inspection of the source code would reveal what's going on. | 15:28 |
| usr13 | rhousand: There is a gui: services-admin | 15:28 |
| JarG0n | sipior> I see | 15:28 |
| rhousand | usr13, yea, I was looking for a command line option. :( | 15:29 |

| erUSUL | !w32codecs | bening | 15:34 |
| ubottu | bening: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 15:34 |
| mikevankuik | erUSUL: yeah... there is some file I should edit I think... but not sure witch :P | 15:34 |

| bening | anyone knows how to view wmf image on ubuntu? | 15:34 |
| usr13 | rhousand: I guess in distros other than RH / Fedora, you just work with the executible bits on the scripts. In other words, you just chmod -x or chomd +x to the actual scripts, (mostly in /etc/init.d/ ) Someone correct me as needed.... | 15:34 |
| bhsx | i've been having some locking/freezing issues in 8.10, newly installed and updated, haven't even installed codecs yet... with ati x300 se | 15:34 |

| csarven | If a typeface supports a particular Unicode characters does the text rendering still default to DejaVu because of the Pango library? | 15:35 |
| bhsx | i could SSH into it and initiate a reboot, and it would kick me out of ssh but hang on the reboot | 15:36 |
| bhsx | and not complete it | 15:36 |
| bhsx | any ideas? | 15:36 |

| storbeck | bhsx: Run it in a screen | 15:36 |
| mikevankuik | storbeck: but I have access on the machine (via sftp its possible to access the machine too just nog via vnc but that is solved as soon as I have the user autologed in) | 15:36 |
| bhsx | run what in a screen? | 15:36 |
| rhousand | \j #mysql | 15:36 |
| storbeck | Yes mikevankuik All you need to do is copy over your ~/.ssh folder to the server. You can do it with sftp :) | 15:37 |
| CosmiChaos | Does somebody know how to enable nautilus to create thumbnails for mpeg and x264??? I have it working for xvid, all unstripped packages and thumbnailers installed. Please help. | 15:37 |
| sipior | mikevankuik: the file you want is /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, i think. pay attention to the comments, though, as it is autogenerated :-) alternatively, you can forward an X session with ssh -X, and run the configurator that way. | 15:37 |
| rhousand | haha opps! | 15:37 |
| corey | can wireshark be used to see what my employees are viewing on the internet? | 15:37 |
| storbeck | Oh, you're trying to auto-login to gdm? | 15:37 |
| storbeck | I thought you meant auto-login to ssh | 15:37 |
| bhsx | storbeck, what do you mean run it in a screen? | 15:37 |
| storbeck | bhsx: Open up a screen session, then run the command inside screen | 15:37 |
| rhousand | corey, squid is a better way of doing that | 15:37 |
| bhsx | ? i'm talking about 8.10 crashing.... i don't understand why screen would have anything to do with it? | 15:38 |
| mikevankuik | sipior cool tx :) I'll have a look | 15:38 |
| donjuanluis07 | usr13: not getting any help, do you know someone that edits vcf files? | 15:38 |
| usr13 | rhousand: I found update-rc.d | 15:38 |
| storbeck | bhsx: After it kicks you out, you can log back in, and re-attach yourself to the screen session, and see what's going on | 15:39 |
| rhousand | corey, there are even perl scripts that will go through your log files and do reporting | 15:39 |

| rhousand | usr13, I have installed chkconfig via apt-get. it works great | 15:39 |

| gherghout | j'ai kubuntu 8.10 et je veux installer ubuntuME mais j'ai pas réussit pouvez vous m'aidez ? | 15:40 |
| Scunizi | storbeck: not if you're initiating a reboot of the machine via ssh like bhsx is saying.. the screen session would terminate on reboot | 15:40 |
| donjuanluis07 | having the worst time with this first time I have had a problem this bad with linux | 15:40 |
| usr13 | rhousand: Ok, cool... update-rc.d may be the backend to it... but yea, that's good to know because chkconfig is good tool | 15:40 |

| storbeck | Scunizi: His reboot is hanging though, so I don't think it would close out screen | 15:41 |
| bhsx | so i'm the only one? boo hoo | 15:41 |
| BeBoo_ | anyone know if you can configure a raid from the ubuntu installer? I have an hp server and i need to adjust the raid before i install | 15:41 |
| Scunizi | storbeck: depends on if it hangs on the shutdown side or the boot side.. > bhsx | 15:41 |
| bhsx | prolly just a matter of turning off my "effects" again... but they shouldn't be on by default if they're gonna cause crashing issues | 15:41 |

| BeBoo_ | yggdrasil: many of the hauppauge series | 15:43 |
| bhsx | i tried that.. didn't do anything | 15:43 |
| Scunizi | bhsx: then screen would be usefull | 15:43 |
| presshere | !firewall | 15:43 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 15:43 |

| Bacta | sudo su first | 15:49 |
| rhousand | corey, it can be done. but the pcap files are very large and you will have to dig through the logs your self. We did that for a wile but we have a lot of users and use thin clients so it looks like everyone connects from the server. now i have user based acl and a perl script which converts our logs. so, the answer is yes you can use wire shark. | 15:49 |
| Bacta | before mounting | 15:49 |
| bhsx | so it's not the drivers, it's the update | 15:49 |
| n8tuserf | mohanohi-> use sudo | 15:49 |

| n8tuserf | Chousuke-> correct and i wish it could be better | 15:52 |
| Bacta | There we go again | 15:52 |
| Chousuke | n8tuserf: there should be a simple GUI for setting up removable device properties somewhere. | 15:52 |

| PKodon | Chousuke: This is one reason I hesitated for years to try Linux. Sometimes it's a matter of the ammount of time and money you have (time to figgure out a new system, money to have someone else do it when you don't have the time). | 16:01 |
| mohanohi | i inserted a pen drive to transfer some files.. upon double clicking the drive it showed me i dont have permission to mount the drive.. | 16:02 |
| Chousuke | PKodon: there's always the pain of switching. | 16:02 |
| usr13 | mohanohi: Oh, ok. | 16:02 |
| luca | where and how is the name of the configurationfile form init | 16:02 |
| luca | ? | 16:02 |
| kriss3d | hmm if im on the network with windows computers.. how would i access their shares ? would i have to mount each one ? | 16:02 |
| Bacta | mohanohi: If it were me I would bust out the terminal and type sudo mount whatever but my ranting in here has been that you shouldn't need to do that | 16:02 |

| Picassotamus | Bacta: Do you have any evidence that people "like your father" are the majority of computer users, or you just want to prove your point? I have parents too, that are running XP, and they have problems w/ it and don't know what to do either so, your anectote means nothing | 16:03 |
| Chousuke | PKodon: but if you're even marginally prepared to accept that you might need to *study* the new system a bit, Ubuntu is just great. | 16:03 |
| sipior | gnu_d: what were you doing in nautilus at the time it crashed? | 16:03 |

| ubottu | Bacta Chousuke PKodon Picassotamus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 16:03 |
| gnu_d | sipior: I dropped images in the folder. | 16:03 |
| sipior | gnu_d: and the bug is reproducible? | 16:03 |
| Chousuke | mohanohi: So hm, how did you try mounting the drive, and what exactly happened? | 16:03 |
| Bacta | #ubuntu-offtopic is full of feminists... | 16:04 |
| gnu_d | sipior: I don't know, but when I paste stuff also crashes. | 16:04 |
| PKodon | Scunizi: Sorry. | 16:04 |
| mohanohi | i double clicked on the icon of pen drive in nautilus.. | 16:04 |
| Scunizi | PKodon: happens.. | 16:04 |
| Chousuke | mohanohi: did it give you any details? :/ | 16:04 |
| usr13 | mohanohi: you may need to edit /etc/goup and see that your user name is entered on the line that starts with the word disk and also the one that starts with plugdvd But first, let me ask; Are you the original user that was established on this system? | 16:04 |
| Chousuke | usr13: editing /etc/group directly is not recommended. | 16:05 |
| usr13 | mohanohi: Have you added a new user to the system? | 16:05 |
| * PKodon shuts up till he has a question. | 16:05 | |
| mohanohi | yes.. | 16:05 |
| Chousuke | use "adduser user group" or the gnome user config tools to add yourself to a group | 16:05 |
| mohanohi | i will edit the permission in /etc/group | 16:05 |
| Scunizi | PKodon: or an answer :) | 16:05 |
| Chousuke | no, don't! | 16:05 |
| usr13 | Chousuke: May have a better way... | 16:05 |
| Chousuke | mohanohi: do not touch that file. | 16:05 |
| mohanohi | ok.. ok.. i wont.. | 16:05 |
| mohanohi | i will do adduser.. | 16:06 |
| mohanohi | One thing i didn't understand.. | 16:06 |
| Chousuke | don't do that either yet. | 16:06 |
| Chousuke | mohanohi: first we need to figure out why you don't have permissions for the disk. | 16:06 |
| mohanohi | i installed and used ubuntu for 1 month.. | 16:06 |
| mohanohi | it didn't give this problem since. | 16:06 |
| PKodon | Scunizi: Well, I'm actually using PC/OS, which is based on Xubuntu, so I don't know how many "answers" I can give here, unless it has to do with getting a WEP connection with a linksys card. | 16:07 |
| Chousuke | mohanohi: first, try mounting the disk again normally and tell me exactly what happens. | 16:07 |
| mohanohi | nowadays it is telling like that.. | 16:07 |
| Bacta | Yeah I don't get it? Why do you need permission to mount a disk? | 16:07 |
| Chousuke | Bacta: of course you do. | 16:07 |
| Voltaplein | 16:07 | |
| Chousuke | Bacta: basic security. | 16:07 |
| sipior | gnu_d: you might have to downgrade, but did the problem start immediately after upgrading to Ibex? | 16:07 |
| Chousuke | Bacta: the problem here is that by default users SHOULD have that permission. | 16:08 |
| gnu_d | sipior: yes | 16:08 |
| Chousuke | Bacta: he for some reason does not. | 16:08 |
| mohanohi | it throws an msg that i dont have permission to mount that drive.. | 16:08 |
| Chousuke | mohanohi: and no details? | 16:08 |
| mohanohi | no.. | 16:08 |
| Chousuke | is there a "show details" thing anywhere? | 16:08 |
| Picassotamus | mohanohi: This is a pen drive? What filesystem is it using? | 16:08 |
| mohanohi | like what type of details? | 16:08 |

| usr13 | mohanohi: And after that, just log out and back in again. | 16:09 |
| gnu_d | sipior: it's the official KDE file-browser, there is an option in gconf-editor to set which file-browser to start in Gnome. | 16:09 |
| Chousuke | mohanohi: I'm going to ask you to use terminal, but that's because I have no idea how to do this using the GUI :) | 16:09 |

| Chousuke | QQQ: you shouldn't do that. | 16:14 |
| QQQ | why? | 16:14 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: /usr/ belongs to the package manager. you shouldn't mess with it manually unless you know exactly what you're doing | 16:14 |
| QQQ | Chousuke I need to free some space somehow... | 16:14 |
| BeBoo_ | what is the purpose of an LVM and is it needed? | 16:15 |

| QQQ | Chousuke did that :) but I have 5gb only on my ssd | 16:15 |

| Chousuke | QQQ: /usr usually doesn't take that much space anyway | 16:15 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: anyway, moving stuff there is possible, but not with simple symlinks. | 16:16 |

| Yownanymous | good luck lol | 16:40 |
| Greatucker | i mean ive never gotten a virus malware or anything if i use linux | 16:40 |
| Yownanymous | I've never gotten a virus on Windows mind, it's called being careful | 16:40 |
| m3gaman | does anyone here even run an AV solution on their linux box | 16:40 |
| h4ckluserr | bingo! | 16:40 |
| Greatucker | well yes | 16:40 |
| Yownanymous | but I would be SERIOUSLY less likely to get a linux virus | 16:40 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: taht doesn't tell much... hm | 16:40 |
| Greatucker | AV solution | 16:40 |
| Yownanymous | m3gaman: I use AVG | 16:40 |
| Greatucker | i use nod32 | 16:41 |
| kranny_ | <Yownanymous> :Can you just throw some light on atleast what it is | 16:41 |
| sipior | m3gaman: sure, although that's generally to disinfect mail being handled by the linux box... | 16:41 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: do ls -lahR /root/ next | 16:41 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: recursive :/ | 16:41 |
| SlimeyPete | I sometimes install clamAV, when I can be bothered | 16:41 |
| Yownanymous | to tell the truth, I'm actually using Windows right now | 16:41 |
| sim-value | anybody knows where nexuiz data goes ? | 16:41 |
| BeBoo_ | i use clam | 16:41 |
| Greatucker | calm isnt bad but i dont like its like of functionality | 16:41 |
| Greatucker | clam** | 16:41 |
| Yownanymous | I use Clamwin on Windows, which unfortunately is my main OS :( | 16:41 |
| QQQ | Chousuke: oh, thats loads of output | 16:41 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: yeah, it is | 16:41 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: but pastebin saves :) | 16:42 |
| Yownanymous | it's become increasingly tempting to format the drive... | 16:42 |
| Yownanymous | kranny_: Got no idea | 16:42 |
| Greatucker | same here dude im windows32bit mediacenter 2005 | 16:42 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: you can redirect to a file if it's too much | 16:42 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: do ls -lahR /root/ > output.file | 16:42 |
| h4ckluserr | Yownanymous, why would you format? | 16:42 |
| Yownanymous | h4ckluserr: so I could install Linux! | 16:42 |
| Greatucker | but i have a partion on the computer to ubuntu64bit | 16:42 |
| Yownanymous | cause I have a small hard drive... | 16:42 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: Windows as a main OS? what why? | 16:43 |
| Greatucker | LOL | 16:43 |
| Yownanymous | sebsebseb: came with the PC, haven't really bothered doing Linux and dual booting and such | 16:43 |
| h4ckluserr | are you familiar with linux? or just dabbling? | 16:43 |
| Greatucker | anybody know if VMware is really good | 16:43 |
| Yownanymous | h4ckluserr: familiar | 16:43 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: maybe you can just get rid of Windows :) depending on what you want to use your computer for | 16:43 |
| Yownanymous | Greatucker: VMWare is good | 16:43 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Greatucker: depends what version and what OS you plan to run in it | 16:43 |
| h4ckluserr | Greatucker: I use VMWare all the time on my Mac, I love it | 16:43 |
| Yownanymous | well the only thing I'd really miss is one game and shockwave | 16:43 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: or just run Windows fine inside a virtual machine inside Ubuntu, as long as you don't want to say 3D game, and have enough RAM, how much do you have? I guess at least 1GB so fine for the vm | 16:44 |
| Yownanymous | I have at least a gig | 16:44 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Yownanymous: Macromedia Shockwave works on Linux through Wine | 16:44 |
| Yownanymous | Geek`N`Proud: not very well admittedly | 16:44 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: shockwave well that will work fine in a vm | 16:44 |
| Yownanymous | sebsebseb: yeah, I'm gonna be using PUD through a virtual machine inside Windows... | 16:45 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Yownanymous: VirtualBox runs Windows 2000/XP/Vista better than VMWare Server (if you're looking to avoid paying) | 16:45 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: what's PUD? | 16:45 |
| Yownanymous | yeah I like virtualbox | 16:45 |
| h4ckluserr | If it's a space issue yownanymous, why not grab a real lightweight distro, DSL or Puppy? | 16:45 |
| Yownanymous | PUD's a teeny linux distro based on ubuntu | 16:45 |
| Greatucker | ok here are some tech specs amdathalon 64X2 runnning 3.0GHZ 4GB 800MHz ram and The geforce 260 graphics card | 16:45 |
| Yownanymous | with LXDE | 16:45 |
| Yownanymous | cause I hate DSL and Puppy... | 16:45 |
| Yownanymous | with a passion | 16:45 |
| h4ckluserr | ok, as said... PUD :) | 16:45 |
| Greatucker | awe | 16:45 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: uhmmmmm Linux in a vm inside Windows is good for trying, but then you should do Linux for real with partitining :) and do Windows in the vm :d or no Windows at all | 16:46 |
| Greatucker | i hate dsl too | 16:46 |
| h4ckluserr | or... PDL run's really fast as well | 16:46 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: Directx 10 games suppourt coming soon in Codeweavers Games by the way | 16:46 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Yownanymous: what Windows version by the way? | 16:46 |
| Yownanymous | Codeweavers?!? The bunch of scammers that take from Wine and don't give back?!? | 16:46 |
| Yownanymous | Geek`N`Proud: XP | 16:46 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Yownanymous: they power wine | 16:46 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: no that's Cedega | 16:46 |
| h4ckluserr | I dumped Cedega when I had more luck running Steam in Wine than Cedega | 16:46 |
| Yownanymous | home edition, SP3 | 16:46 |
| Greatucker | xp nice | 16:46 |
| QQQ | Chousuke: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129829/ | 16:46 |
| Chousuke | Yownanymous: Um, codeweavers sponsors wine development. | 16:46 |
| Greatucker | i hate vista | 16:46 |
| Greatucker | resource hog | 16:47 |
| freedumMan | does anyone know why rsync in ubuntu would not copy hidden files? I'm using rsync -avz which works on any other distro? | 16:47 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Yownanymous: VMWare Server does not work on XP Home | 16:47 |
| Yownanymous | I'm not planning on using VMWare server... | 16:47 |
| Greatucker | try sudo | 16:47 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Yownanymous: VMWare Workstation costs money though | 16:47 |
| === mathieu is now known as pguillaum | ||
| Yownanymous | well I could just use virtualbox or qtemu | 16:47 |
| Geek`N`Proud | and using Workstation to create a VM then Player from there on in sucks | 16:47 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: how much hard disk space do you have? | 16:47 |
| h4ckluserr | why would you pay for a solution when perfectly good, free apps exist | 16:47 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: root's trash is full of files! | 16:47 |
| Yownanymous | sebsebseb: just over 8 gigs | 16:47 |
| QQQ | Chousuke: how comes? | 16:48 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: I woudn't normalley recommend it, but you could do wubi, and have Ubuntu like that, yes it puts it inside a part of your NTFS file system | 16:48 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: I have no idea | 16:48 |
| Yownanymous | I do like wubi | 16:48 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: and then you won't run Windows and Ubuntu at the same time | 16:48 |
| Greatucker | ok how much performance do you loose using windows inside a linux box through VMWare | 16:48 |
| Greatucker | on a high performance machine | 16:48 |
| QQQ | Chousuke: hmkay, so I will just emtpy the trash as root? | 16:48 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: try doing "sudo -rm -rf /root/.local/share/Trash/files" | 16:48 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: about 1GB for a clean install of Ubuntu | 16:48 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Greatucker: under what load? | 16:48 |
| Yownanymous | Greatucker: depends how much RAM it's allocated | 16:48 |
| h4ckluserr | Wubi was probably the best thing that happened to Linux in awhile, in fact, I use it for it's simplicity | 16:48 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: will free 800MB :) | 16:48 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: partitning is better usualley, but maybe not in your case | 16:48 |
| Greatucker | CRysis | 16:48 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: 8GB seems a bit rubbishey to give to LInux, even though you could do a lot with 8GB | 16:48 |
| Yownanymous | sebsebseb: I think Wubi is a miracle | 16:49 |
| === haptiK is now known as gitflaps | ||
| Chousuke | QQQ: no, actually. a lot more :P | 16:49 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: did you log in as root at some point? :/ | 16:49 |
| nameless` | how many times a n810 battery is supposed to live with wifi and online stream radio turn on ? | 16:49 |
| nyad | hi what files must I edit in ubuntu to configure my network? i need to do this via CLI, so no gui tools. /etc/hosts and that other files? | 16:49 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Wubi isn't that great.. alternatives have existed for ages :| | 16:49 |
| sebsebseb | h4ckluserr: Wubi is really for noobs that can't partition their hard disk, or are to afraid to | 16:50 |
| Yownanymous | more linux distros need to introduce a wubi-type solution | 16:50 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: oh damn | 16:50 |
| nyad | i just need the file names | 16:50 |
| nameless` | because mine was empty after about 5h | 16:50 |
| Yownanymous | Geek`N`Proud: what alternatives?!? | 16:50 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: I just realised my rm command was wrong :) | 16:50 |
| BeBoo_ | do i need to worry about these highlighted lines? http://pastebin.com/df517f52 | 16:50 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Yownanymous: the Debian Windows-based Installer | 16:50 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: it's "sudo rm -rf /root/.local/share/Trash/files" | 16:50 |
| Yownanymous | that partitions thoughh | 16:50 |
| sipior | freedumMan: it works on ubuntu 8.10 as well (i just tested it on my machine). maybe a mistyped command? | 16:50 |
| h4ckluserr | sebsebseb: forgive me saying, but that sounded like a shot. I dont' feel the need for using tools if it can be done for me | 16:50 |
| Yownanymous | well | 16:50 |
| QQQ | Chousuke: a allready wondered and wanted to do it with a sudo nautilus | 16:50 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Yownanymous: yes but the Guided option will let you resize.. which won't hurt | 16:50 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: don't use sudo with GUI apps | 16:50 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: it messes up things. | 16:51 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: use gksudo instead | 16:51 |
| Yownanymous | Geek`N`Proud: but I'm also scared of bootloaders, how do I get my XP bootloader back if I want to get rid of Linux? | 16:51 |
| Geek`N`Proud | stuff like Wubi encourages people to be lazy with learning how to use a PC | 16:51 |
| Greatucker | gksudo? | 16:51 |
| Chousuke | Greatucker: gnome's sudo tool | 16:51 |
| sebsebseb | h4ckluserr: partitning tends to be better, after all what if a Windows install buggers up properly, (which is likely since it's Windows) where someone did wubi, then Ubuntu buggers up as well | 16:51 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Yownanymous: easy.. fixmbr and fixboot | 16:51 |
| QQQ | ok | 16:51 |
| eule3 | hi, is there a german support room? | 16:51 |

| Greatucker | GKSUDO! make me a sandwich | 16:51 |
| Yownanymous | Geek`N`Proud: from what?!? | 16:51 |
| Geek`N`Proud | you just use the recovery console.. which comes with XP and Vista | 16:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | nyad, to edit your network from cli, you need to edit /etc/resolv.conf & /etc/network/interfaces | 16:51 |
| Yownanymous | oh | 16:51 |
| Yownanymous | OK | 16:51 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: anyway, did you get the files removed? :) | 16:52 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Yownanymous: I mean seriously.. a normal Ubuntu install is 1000x better | 16:52 |
| === gitflaps is now known as haptiK | ||
| h4ckluserr | sebsebseb: I can't argue that point. However, with as many times as I've partitioned, tried distro's built and rebuilt grub etc. Wubi is an incredible reprieve | 16:52 |
| QQQ | Chousuke: AY!!! IT WORKED! | 16:52 |
| Yownanymous | Geek`N`Proud: I know, but Wubi helps get to the Windows trolls... :D | 16:52 |
| hatter243 | !puregnome | 16:52 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » | 16:52 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: yeah. so from now on, don't run nautilus with "sudo"; use gksudo instead :) | 16:53 |
| QQQ | Chousuke: 2,4GB free space, thx my personal hero for today | 16:53 |
| nyad | ZykoticK9, thanks | 16:53 |
| QQQ | Chousuke: you think that was the problem? (might be) | 16:53 |
| regeya | I had switched my main machine over to fedora for various reasons; I am so greatly tempted to switch back to ubuntu, because some stuff is like banging your head on a desk in fedora...and I don't know of anything that's much better. | 16:53 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: yeah | 16:53 |
| sebsebseb | h4ckluserr: well it can help with some noobs, because then they can try a more proper Ubuntu install, whilst being able to remove it as if it was a normal Windows program | 16:53 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: it set your home dir (and trash) to be root's | 16:53 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: so all the trash was "hidden" | 16:54 |
| QQQ | Chousuke: okey, If there is any photoshop/flash thing I could do for you: ask now :) | 16:54 |
| Chousuke | nah | 16:54 |
| Geek`N`Proud | regeya: Try CentOS and Debian if your PC isn't ultra-new.. those may be less of a headbang since they're not as bleeding edge | 16:54 |
| Yownanymous | sebsebseb: exactly | 16:54 |
| sebsebseb | h4ckluserr: also if people can't burn the CD since no CD's or can't burn to USB, or can't be bothered to order a free offical CD, wubi could make sense | 16:54 |
| Yownanymous | generally I just go for USB stick installs actually | 16:54 |
| QQQ | Chousuke: k, so thx (maybe you want to recommend a firewall to me, don't want to check them one by one) | 16:55 |
| Geek`N`Proud | regeya: or get in bed with Ballmer and try OpenSuSE.. i've found it to be very similar to Ubuntu in terms of what it offers | 16:55 |
| sebsebseb | Yownanymous: USB installs are for noobs really to :d ,but sometimes there can be a good reason for one | 16:55 |
| Geek`N`Proud | regeya: so there's not a lack of alternatives.. =] | 16:55 |
| Chousuke | QQQ: I don't know much about that, but I hear firestarter is popular :/ | 16:55 |
| Yownanymous | sebsebseb: stop calling me a noob | 16:55 |

| realsifo | how to install canon ip 1880 in ubuntu 8.10? | 16:58 |
| Yownanymous | http://openbve.uuuq.com | 16:58 |
| Yownanymous | it's been done in puppy and gOS, just not ubuntu | 16:58 |
| Geek`N`Proud | sebsebseb: you just need to nab a legit DigitalProductID from a real Windows registry and that's it ;) | 16:58 |
| Yownanymous | I did have it working once but then I tried it again and it went nuts... | 16:59 |

| Yownanymous | sphantom: that's not a great chipset | 17:01 |
| dougl | somedude2, and what did you do to run it? | 17:01 |
| Geek`N`Proud | somedude2: ./helloworld | 17:01 |
| somedude2 | !tab | 17:01 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 17:01 |
| somedude2 | I typed just helloworld | 17:02 |
| realsifo | any driver for my printer? | 17:02 |
| Geek`N`Proud | somedude2: . isn't in PATH by default as it's a security risk | 17:02 |
| dougl | somedude2, do "./helloworld" | 17:02 |
| sphantom | <Yownanymous> I've noticed that the chipset isn't that great, but It runs Google Earth flawlessly under (dare I say) Windoze, as well as under previous Ubuntu releases. | 17:02 |
| malikyoda | does anyone know how to change the default papersize from A4 if it is greyed out? | 17:02 |
| Geek`N`Proud | somedude2: so therefore you always need to do ./helloworld | 17:02 |
| Yownanymous | sphantom: well I'd say that's a driver problem | 17:03 |
| somedude2 | WOW it worked........ thankyou soooo much | 17:03 |
| somedude2 | ./helloworld | 17:03 |
| Yownanymous | sphantom: wait for an update or try rolling back | 17:03 |
| h4ckluserr | realsifo I already gave you the answer over message | 17:03 |

| sphantom | Younanymous: I agree, but I'm having a real hard time trying to figure out how to fix/reinstall/upgrade my driver. I've downloaded the linux driver from Intel's site, but it fails to install. I've looked through Synaptec Package Manager, but can't make much sense of anything there.

| soundray | dury: how are you trying to launch it? | 17:07 |
| malikyoda | does anyone know how to change the default papersize from A4 if it is greyed out? | 17:07 |
| Yownanymous | sphantom: I want to do it to Adobe... | 17:07 |
| LjL | malikyoda: it might be grayed out if you're using a program (like OpenOffice i think, or KOffice) that sets the page size by itself - in that case, look in the Format menu rather than the printing window | 17:08 |
| malikyoda | it's greyed out in the printer configuration | 17:08 |
| sphantom | Yownanymous: When you say "See the orange star thingy with the exlamation mark" I'm not sure what you're referring to. Are you referring to the icon that sometimes shows up on my panel when there are updates available? | 17:08 |
| LjL | kedare: cached memory is files from your HD that the system has read previously. it keeps them in memory in case they're needed again. it will drop them if it actually needs that memory for something else. | 17:09 |
| malikyoda | when i print anything the margins are close to the edge even if I set them | 17:09 |

| lgc | tyu, apt-cache search ipod will put you on the right track. | 17:26 |
| sipior | orudie: "man sudo". you can probably get away with copying one of the lines that is already present in /etc/sudoers, depending on what sort of permissions you want to give out. | 17:26 |
| kx1 | ok wat about converting the flv video to avi or watever does it make anychange ? | 17:27 |

| sebsebseb | igascream: Ext4 is not that stable yet, best to stay with Ext3 for now as a result | 18:22 |

| sebsebseb | soreau: which Windows does it have on there? | 18:24 |
| sebsebseb | Xerran: yes you should do all the security updates always | 18:24 |
| soreau | sebsebseb: It's a xp pro | 18:24 |
| igascream | ok thank you I'll prefer to wait to the stable stage | 18:24 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: so no CD's, can't just go buy some either? I guess bootable USB stick option is out as well | 18:24 |
| jester7 | actually, ext4 is now considered stable i believe | 18:24 |
| sebsebseb | find out about Ext4 in #ubuntu+1 | 18:25 |

| sebsebseb | soreau: you can try Wubi | 18:25 |
| jumar | tramsie gksudo synaptic | 18:25 |
| danbhfive | Xerran: well, you can look at the changelogs for the packages, if you care that much about it | 18:25 |
| jumar | without initials | 18:26 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: ,but then later on you should partition your hard disk for real | 18:26 |
| soreau | sebsebseb: I've already sized the partition for ugh | 18:26 |
| tramsie | why wouldn't it work with just synaptic? | 18:26 |
| jester7 | i'd like to know if i manually fail one of the drives in a raid1 (mdadm -fail), is there a way to "unfail" it without repartitioning and adding it back to the raid | 18:26 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: wubi installs Ubuntu in a part of your Windows partition | 18:26 |
| jumar | because to install software you gotta be an administrator | 18:26 |
| Xerran | what do you guys do?..do you install every single update? | 18:26 |
| soreau | sebsebseb: On ntfs? | 18:26 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: yes | 18:26 |
| soreau | that sucks :p | 18:26 |
| sipior | jester7: have you removed it from the raid, or just failed it? can you just add it back in as a spare? | 18:27 |
| soreau | sebsebseb: I didn't know it worked like that | 18:27 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: then you get the Windows boot loader and Grub, and you can uninstall wubi like if it was a normal Windows program | 18:27 |

| tramsie | why wouldn't it work with just synaptic? | 18:27 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: then partition later when you can install it for real from a CD or USB stick | 18:28 |
| tramsie | should I use as root: sudo synaptic ? | 18:28 |
| jumar | yes | 18:28 |
| danbhfive | tramsie: no, use gksu synaptic | 18:28 |
| sebsebseb | dooglus: heh it's you | 18:28 |
| tramsie | whats the diff? | 18:28 |
| danbhfive | !gksu | tramsie | 18:28 |
| ubottu | tramsie: 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) | 18:28 |
| jumar | from terminal, i dont use synaptic as user, once accidentally started it, but its good for nothing then | 18:28 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: you can also run Ubuntu or other distros inside Windows | 18:29 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: if you got enough RAM, I think you will probably be just about ok | 18:29 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: may be a bit slow with that amount of RAM though | 18:29 |
| soreau | sebsebseb: I know how vm's work, just not wubi | 18:29 |

| sipior | jester7: ah, then yeah, you should be able to fail it, remove it from the array and add it back in. i had a look at the man page to check, and there doesn't appear to be an "unfail" command as such. normally you fail then remove. check out the "Simulating a drive failure" section of: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-6.html | 18:30 |
| sebsebseb | hbit: you can make it work by messaging xray7224, they are good with wireless issues | 18:30 |

| jim_p | hi people | 19:23 |
| Guest34183 | Alright, been a few years since being on IRC | 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | jim_p: hi | 19:23 |
| Guest34183 | I need help with Ubuntu.. | 19:23 |
| jim_p | how can i do the automount thing in a server installation? | 19:23 |
| helper | anyone has used mikrotik ? | 19:23 |
| dury | sebsebseb: but now doesn't but that disk | 19:23 |
| crazEgamer201 | Guys I have recently upgraded from ubuntu hardy heron to intrepid ibex and my system is no longer stable. Is there a way for me to downgrade back to hardy? | 19:23 |
| jim_p | i want for instance to put my disk in the drive, wait a small amount of time, and it will auto mount it in /media/cdrom | 19:24 |
| AnDyPaTcHeS | I'm having a weird wireless problem. I've loaded the driver with ndiswrapper, I've used modprobe, everything shows up in iwconfig, I can ping my router, and I can ping websites. However, i still can't connect to the internet, and network manager shows my connection as not connected. | 19:24 |
| sebsebseb | Guest34183: ok what kind of help? | 19:24 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | 19:24 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 19:24 |
| jim_p | crazEgamer201, actually no. if you have a seperate /home partition, reinstall | 19:24 |
| Guest34183 | .....embarrassed to say, but.. how do I install MonoDevelp (And anyother application that I need) | 19:24 |
| Veinor | crazEgamer201: and if you don't have a separate /home partition and you decide to reinstall... make a separate /home partition :P | 19:25 |
| jim_p | Guest34183, sudo apt-get install packagename | 19:25 |
| crazEgamer201 | Right, thanks jim_p | 19:25 |
| QQQ | Guest34183 or you run the synaptic paket manager and search for it | 19:25 |
| jim_p | crazEgamer201, are you on ati by any chance? | 19:25 |
| jim_p | you are welcome | 19:25 |
| crazEgamer201 | Yes actually jim_p | 19:25 |
| QQQ | Guest34183 (somewhere in the preferences) | 19:25 |
| crazEgamer201 | I am, installed the driver for my screencard just before the upgrade | 19:26 |
| jim_p | crazEgamer201, then stay to 8.04 as long as you can. and pray to god for ati to make a proper driver | 19:26 |
| Guest34183 | ....sybaptic paket manager? (Sorry, I just installed linux this morning.. am a upset windows user who wants to switch) | 19:26 |
| jim_p | thats what i do | 19:26 |
| MasterZ | I installed gparted to manage the formatting of my hard drives, is there a command line way to see what the percent done is? | 19:26 |
| crazEgamer201 | Your kidding me... That stability problem is caused by ATI? | 19:26 |
| jim_p | Guest34183, System > Administration > Package manager | 19:26 |
| rdw200169 | MasterZ, you can do the whole thing from the command line using parted | 19:27 |
| QQQ | Guest34183 okey, linux has "packets" instead of programms you install | 19:27 |
| QQQ | Guest34183 so two programms con use the same packet if they both need it | 19:27 |
| jim_p | crazEgamer201, no, but ati is a major reason to stick to 8.04 and corg 1.4 | 19:27 |
| jim_p | *xorg | 19:27 |
| MasterZ | i already started the format 5 hours ago and it's still going, I dont' want to have to run to my basement to check the gui to see if it's done lol | 19:27 |
| QQQ | Guest34183 go to System - Systemadministration - Synaptic packet manager | 19:27 |
| Guest34183 | in there.. :-) | 19:28 |
| rdw200169 | MasterZ, you're trying to format a USB drive, right? | 19:28 |
| MasterZ | yes | 19:28 |
| === a34lkj2348dsf311 is now known as angry | ||
| angry | Is there a way for Server 2003 to push out an image of Ubuntu to client? | 19:28 |
| QQQ | Guest34183 search for whatever you need and rightclick - mark for install | 19:28 |
| crazEgamer201 | Right, well thanks, I guess I'm off to back up 200 gigs of stuff and then reformat a 500 gig drive to run ubuntu lol | 19:28 |
| jim_p | angry, through samba maybe? | 19:28 |
| crazEgamer201 | Thanks for the help :) | 19:28 |
| Guest34183 | so this the equivilent to add/remove programs in Windows? | 19:28 |
| rdw200169 | MasterZ, it shouldn't take near that long, but i've heard of many people having problems (like that) trying to format USB drives... | 19:28 |
| QQQ | Guest34183 yes | 19:28 |
| Veinor | Guest34183: yeah, except it can actually add programs :D | 19:28 |
| Guest34183 | Bonus! | 19:28 |
| jim_p | Guest34183, its more that that | 19:28 |
| dementorr | hy i need some help becouse im new whit linx ,i instal verlihub but i canot run any lua scripts | 19:28 |
| oshua86 | Hey guys, do you know if there is any kind of desktop sharing app for ubuntu? | 19:28 |
| QQQ | Guest34183 but its actually a real "add" in there | 19:28 |
| MasterZ | i'ts a 1 TB drive... and I have 3 of them... has not even finished the first one yet | 19:28 |
| Veinor | as opposed to add/remove programs, which nobody ever uses to install things | 19:29 |
| Veinor | it's also an auto-updater | 19:29 |
| jim_p | oshua86, like p2p? | 19:29 |
| Guest34183 | :D was reading online about installing source and what not.. and started to ... give me a head ache. lol | 19:29 |
| Veinor | oshua86: what do you mean 'desktop sharing'? like vnc? | 19:29 |
| MasterZ | rdw200169 it's supposed to be USB 2.0, I wasn't expecting it to be nearly this long lol | 19:29 |
| Veinor | compiling from source isn't usually too hard | 19:29 |
| jim_p | Veinor, (at least you saw the "desktop" word" ) :P | 19:29 |
| QQQ | Guest34183 even easier is the "add/remove" dialog, but the choise is not as big there | 19:29 |
| angry | jim_p, I was thinking of using Server 2003 as the image server | 19:30 |
| sixofour | how do i "get to" a certain folder in konsole? | 19:30 |
| OsamaK | is there a deb version of Gnash 0.8.5? | 19:30 |
| oshua86 | jim_p, Veinor, no I mean like GoToAssist or WebEx | 19:30 |
| angry | jim_p, and it would push out an image of Ubuntu to anyone that connected via PXE | 19:30 |
| keithclark | I found a .ppd file that is supposed to work better with my FX-850 printer and was just wondering how to make use of it? | 19:30 |
| rdw200169 | MasterZ, we couldn't figure out at the time why USB was taking so long. it didn't matter then, either, that it was USB 2.0 | 19:30 |
| OsamaK | sixofour, "cd path/to/folder"? | 19:30 |
| Guest34183 | ....ok next questions, I've searched MonoDevelop, and it give me 6 different...Packages? eg. MonoDevelop-boo | 19:30 |
| AnDyPaTcHeS | When I do a "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxxx", where do I enter the WEP code? | 19:30 |
| jim_p | angry, like a means of installation? yea it can be done, i dont know how though | 19:30 |
| sixofour | so cd /mnt/104 to get the my 104gb partition? | 19:30 |
| Veinor | oshua86: what does VLC not do that you need? | 19:30 |
| rdw200169 | MasterZ, you should check your /var/log/messages for USB errors... | 19:31 |
| MasterZ | rdw200169: sigh... guess I will not get my network file server up until tomorrow | 19:31 |
| sixofour | [the mount point is /mnt/104" lol | 19:31 |
| dury | sebsebseb: but now doesn't boot that disk | 19:31 |
| QQQ | Guest34183: read in the descriptions, usually one is the main programm and the rest will come along never the less (it will be selected when you mark the main thing for install) | 19:31 |
| rdw200169 | AnDyPaTcHeS, sudo iwconfig wlan0 key | 19:31 |
| Guest72276 | XAU | 19:31 |
| jim_p | AnDyPaTcHeS, give me a sec to ssh to the laptop, i think its in there | 19:31 |
| angry | jim_p, ok, I was just looking to see if it was possible | 19:31 |
| Guest72276 | XAU | 19:31 |
| jim_p | thanks rdw200169 | 19:31 |
| angry | jim_p, before I embark on an impossible mission | 19:31 |
| Guest72276 | :D | 19:31 |
| rdw200169 | AnDyPaTcHeS, check the manpage, they explain how the keytypes (etc..) works, | 19:32 |
| MasterZ | rdw200169: I'll look | 19:32 |
| OsamaK | sixofour, it's not sorted by size. go to 'cd /media' and type 'dir', you will find all mounted partitions. | 19:32 |
| sixofour | no i mounted it that way myself | 19:32 |
| jim_p | how can i do the automount thing in a server installation? i want for instance to put my disk in the drive, wait a small amount of time, and it will auto mount it in /media/cdrom | 19:32 |
| sixofour | i have a 160gb drive, i split it into 104 and 42 gb partitions | 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | dury: is Mandriva still there? can you access it from /mnt/ or /media? | 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | or from places computer | 19:32 |
| sixofour | ./mnt/104/ and /mnt/42/ it worked anyways | 19:32 |
| nood | why 104GB and not 100GB? | 19:33 |
| Guest34183 | If I install all of them, do you think it will cause any problems? The other packages are plugins | 19:33 |
| nood | :D | 19:33 |
| oshua86 | Veinor< I dont know, let me find out what that is | 19:33 |
| sixofour | no idea lol | 19:33 |
| sixofour | i just randomly resized them lol | 19:33 |
| Veinor | oshua86: it lets someone remote control your desktop basically | 19:33 |
| nood | lol | 19:33 |
| Veinor | it's kind of bare bones | 19:33 |
| QQQ | Guest34183: it would tell you if it did | 19:33 |
| jim_p | sixofour, nice mount names. i wonder why i named mine "large" and "windows" | 19:33 |
| Veinor | i name my mounts after the machine they're on | 19:33 |
| Veinor | so like, nightwing, confusion, zodiark, zodiark_e | 19:33 |
| sixofour | confusion? | 19:33 |
| oshua86 | Veinor, it says its a videoLAN client | 19:34 |
| oshua86 | is that the one? | 19:34 |
| OsamaK | sixofour, hum in my case, they aren't named by size, I have sda1,sda2 and so on. | 19:34 |
| MasterZ | rdw200169: I don't see anything... the only weird thing is several entries that just says : Mar 11 13:33:36 filesrv1 -- MARK -- | 19:34 |
| sixofour | the drives are sdb1 sdb2 and sdb3 | 19:34 |
| Veinor | oshua86: I meant VNC | 19:34 |
| sixofour | but the mount points are 104 and 42 [and the other is a swap | 19:34 |
| sixofour | do i have to mount a swap? | 19:34 |
| sixofour | linux-swap drive | 19:35 |
| sixofour | and will kubuntu use this swap even though its on a seperate drive? | 19:35 |
| AnDyPaTcHeS | When I do an iwconfig, should the MAC address uner "Acess Point" be exactly the same as the one set for my router? It's off by one digit. | 19:35 |
| oshua86 | |#ubuntu ] | 19:35 |
| oshua86 | [#ubuntu] | 19:35 |
| jim_p | sixofour, use fstab to inform the system where the swap is | 19:35 |
| sixofour | what does fstab do? | 19:35 |
| Guest34183 | It's installing now :-) anything else I should be aware of? any surprises that may occure? | 19:35 |
| azlon | how can i find out what version of gnome i have? | 19:35 |
| oshua86 | Veinor, hmm yeah but that kind is not what I am looking for | 19:36 |
| QQQ | Guest34183: I hope not :) | 19:36 |
| Veinor | oshua86: what're you looking for then exactly? what do you need that VNC doesn't have? | 19:36 |
| sixofour | if i have konsole unraring something can i safly open another konsole and continue doing stuff? | 19:36 |
| Veinor | sixofour: yeah, just don't close that open konsole | 19:36 |
| === russ is now known as Russ | ||
| jim_p | sixofour, it mounts internal drives and partitions to specific folders. fstab = FileSystem TABle | 19:36 |
| sixofour | command not found | 19:36 |
| MasterZ | so is there a command I can do to check the status of gparted? | 19:37 |
| dury | be back later | 19:37 |
| QQQ | sixofour: with "terminator" you can even split the console window | 19:37 |
| Guest34183 | Is this manager the only place I can install programs? or can I download packages of the internet, and install, something similar to .EXE files in windows | 19:37 |
| jim_p | sixofour, its a file, not a command. cat /etc/fstab to see its contents | 19:37 |
| oshua86 | Veinor, maybe I am not familiar enough but I dont know if you have used webex before, Im looking for something that allows me to pass control back and forth and at the same time look waht the other person is doing and for him to see waht im doing | 19:37 |

| KoenigseggCC | Picassotamus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/129908/ xrandr output at the top | 19:53 |

| SuiDog | hey all.. ok.. I got some weirdness.. I'm running 8.10 on an IBM server .. the software clock is running 1/2 speed and the hardware clock is fine. I can sync with NTP but within 1 min. the software clock is 30 secs behind. This started happening yesterday after I updated my system with the latest recommended security updates | 21:14 |
| UbUnTu5uck5h4rD | LOL | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Gaming4JC: you may want to get the app from the drives amnufacturers site (or use ultimate boot cd) to test the drive | 21:14 |
| ManaPirat | but still when logged in she cannot access most of the menue entries under system/Adinistration | 21:14 |
| ManaPirat | does the PC have to be restarted for the groups changes to work? | 21:15 |
| demon_ | sebsebseb, if i set it like on 7.10 to be a a noname 17' monitor i can do it but i cant find that program | 21:15 |
| usr13 | ManaPirat: No. | 21:15 |
| Gaming4JC | ActionParsnip: It's literally less than a week old. (WesternDigital 640GB) brand new | 21:15 |
| Gaming4JC | :o | 21:15 |
| usr13 | But you'll have to do it in the original user's account. Or do it in single user mode. | 21:15 |
| Gaming4JC | I suppose it's not the first time I've had a bumb hdd | 21:16 |
| sebsebseb | demon_: ok don't know | 21:16 |
| usr13 | ManaPirat: But you'll have to do it in the original user's account. Or do it in single user mode. | 21:16 |
| nym | hey, how do i go about executing commands remotely over ssh? | 21:16 |
| ManaPirat | the originals users desktop doe snot load properly, commandline is what we have | 21:16 |
| demon_ | thanks any way sebsebseb i should ask my question again ;) | 21:16 |
| demon_ | how can i set my monitor ?? | 21:17 |
| usr13 | ManaPirat: Let's say the old user was fred and the new one is jim, you'll see several lines that end with fred, just put ,jim after them so that they look like fred,jim | 21:17 |
| usr13 | ManaPirat: But you shouldn't need to add a new user to fix the problem. | 21:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Gaming4JC: could have been dying before you even bought it | 21:18 |
| usr13 | ManaPirat: Just do Ctrl-Alt-F6 and go to console mode and fix the X server. | 21:18 |
| ManaPirat | usr13 I kinda found the tnries that way you describe it | 21:18 |
| demon_ | how can i set my monitor or is there a way some one can set my xorg ?? | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Gaming4JC: if youre getting issues in windows and linux it may be dying | 21:19 |
| ManaPirat | as I issued sudo userod -aG admin jim that might have done it | 21:19 |
| UbUnTu5uck5h4rD | ubuntu = distro's mexico | 21:19 |
| usr13 | demon_: X -configure | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Gaming4JC: check the controller connectionad power | 21:19 |
| ManaPirat | so I wonder why the priileges seem not active .. dong this via telephone is another factor that might lead to probles though -.- | 21:19 |
| Gartral2 | Gaming4JC: i hate saying this, 'cause i like WD, but thier external drives SUCK | 21:19 |
| Gaming4JC | ActionParsnip: I'll run some tools on it... what am I looking for? All sectors are good so far. The system rebooted itself on Windows... | 21:19 |

| jbarket | Ridiculous question, but I just installed Ubuntu on a machine with 2 NICs. The only interface setup by default was the loopback device... I added eth0, but it doesn't appear to be the one I'm using. Is there a way to figure out what the other device is called? eth1 = fail | 21:21 |

| TruthTaco1 | or permission or whatever | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | nym: you can just run them like you are sat at the system. thats what ssh is for (as well as other stuff) | 21:25 |
| demon_ | usr13, i can put my other monitor and restart its good i can put my other monitor and work but i cant do that every time | 21:25 |
| nym | ActionParsnip: but how? | 21:25 |
| usr13 | demon_: If you want to restart in single user mode, just hit e when grub comes up and give command linux single | 21:26 |
| ActionParsnip | TruthTaco1: use sudo / gksudo to execute the comand you need | 21:26 |
| nym | ActionParsnip: the -c flag doesn't do "command" | 21:26 |
| ActionParsnip | TruthTaco1: there is no root password | 21:26 |
| TruthTaco1 | well im in the GUI, trying to copy some files | 21:26 |
| usr13 | demon_: That's interesting. | 21:26 |
| ActionParsnip | TruthTaco1: gksudo nautilus | 21:26 |
| TruthTaco1 | thanks | 21:27 |
| demon_ | usr13, in 7.10 there is a setting that i can choose my monitor but on 8.10 i cant | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | TruthTaco1: nautilus will then have admin powers | 21:27 |
| nym | ActionParsnip: in psql, i can do psql -c "CREATE DATBASE veggies;", but I don't know how to do the same thing with ssh | 21:27 |
| gRunt | hey guntburt because i dont have net access both packages the tutorial suggests i have (build-essentials and checkinstall) can't be found will that matter? | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | nym: just get connected and launch the command | 21:27 |
| nym | ActionParsnip: you're missing the point, i don't want to "get connected", i just want to run a one liner that connects and executes the command | 21:28 |
| nym | ActionParsnip: just like psql connects to the postgres db, and executes "CREATE DATBASE veggies;" | 21:28 |
| TruthTaco1 | is there any way i can get realtime support in smplayer without having to install it manually? i cant find the correct dir | 21:29 |
| nym | ActionParsnip: i'm guessing you don't know how to execute commands remotely | 21:29 |
| ManaPirat | usr13 solved the problem - either via adding to sudoers or because of restart idk | 21:29 |
| rww | nym: just add the command to the end of your normal ssh line. E.g.: ssh rww@myremoteserver "ls -l" | 21:29 |
| nym | ty rww | 21:29 |
| usr13 | ManaPirat: Ok, sorry I wasn't more help | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | nym: once you get connected you can type commands like a terminal and they wil be executed remotely | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | rww: is tat not the same as what i'm sugesting? | 21:30 |
| gRunt | Need some help installing an app off an external hdd using the commands on the following site http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download#DownloadlatestLinuxwirelessdrivers Not quite sure how to do it via terminal if anyone could help via pm please. | 21:31 |
| rww | ActionParsnip: No. Normal ssh connections are in interactive mode. As far as I can tell, nym wanted to run in non-interactive mode, where he specifies the command to run on the local command line, it connects to ssh, runs it, then quits, all in one line. | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip | rww: i see | 21:31 |
| guntbert | gRunt: I sent you the link to read how to compile a program from a tar ball, not to criticize :) | 21:32 |
| rww | ActionParsnip: I use it in shell scripts sometimes. There are probably other use cases for it too. | 21:32 |
| DaDa|Urka | why does the cpu freq scaling not work with an intel atom N330 | 21:32 |
| Dreamglider | How do i stream live audio to computers on lan ? | 21:32 |
| gRunt | the first two steps to install some apps required for compiling werent found guntburt. While I don't think i am completely retarded this is somewhat over my head for a first day user :) | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | rww: so the apps continue to execute even if the ssh connection is closed. I thought that was used to run a command when you first connect | 21:33 |
| demon_ | usr13, i had this same problem back at ubuntu 6.06 but a guy took my xorg asked me for my monitor and he fixed it :) so if you know this guy it will be a lot of help :P | 21:33 |
| rww | ActionParsnip: you're misunderstanding me. With `ssh rww@remoteserver "ls -l"`, for example, ssh would connect to remoteserver, run ls -l, display the output, then quit ssh. | 21:34 |
| rww | ActionParsnip: nothing's running after the ssh connection is closed. | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | rww: i see, so my idea was kinda the same but not | 21:34 |
| jiffe92 | alright I must have hit something else it doesn't like, I think 2^31-1 is the limit | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | rww: as its not as smooth but achieves the same end | 21:34 |
| rww | ActionParsnip: As far as I can see, your idea was to just run ssh as normal, right? That's similar, but doesn't work for certain situations. Shell scripts, as I said, are one example. | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | rww: i was suggesting connecting, then launching whatever, then logging off | 21:36 |

| bazu | my laptop is with amd and it is like oven :P | 21:57 |
| Be1 | jrib: i got this message "ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Invalid argument" | 21:57 |
| jrib | Be1: what did you run? | 21:57 |
| === boliver is now known as bazu | ||
| Be1 | jrib:sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop 018-xxxx-x.dmg foo | 21:57 |
| skiwithpete | bazu there's a fan script I thought... | 21:58 |
| jrib | Be1: 1) you might need to use sudo 2) does foo exist as a directory? 3) try hfs instead | 21:58 |
| skiwithpete | something to mnake your fan blow harder sooner | 21:58 |
| bazu | skiwithpete, do you know it ? | 21:58 |
| guntbert | skiwithpete: usually fan speed is controlled from hardware/BIOS, but maybe the slots are "dirty", most scripts try to reduce fan speed | 21:58 |
| hollywoodb | skiwithpete: if you google for ubuntu fan control you'll find plenty of information | 21:59 |
| skiwithpete | bazu, no that's why I'm here | 21:59 |
| rabidweezle | what's the terminal command for the RUN dialog? | 22:00 |

| skiwithpete | hollywoodb, can I use stuff from Warty, or should I find something for Hardy? | 22:00 |
| ikonia | skiwithpete: warty is long dead | 22:00 |
| jrib | rabidweezle: one doesn't exist iirc. But there exist small C programs to run it | 22:01 |
| hollywoodb | skiwithpete: it depends. If it is a package you should not use it. If it's a generic script, then it should be fine as long as it doesn't depend on something ancient that is no longer present | 22:01 |
| === arnic is now known as schock | ||
| rabidweezle | jrib, for the standard gnome alt+f2 hotkey? | 22:01 |
| rabidweezle | jrib, or is that just a part of gnome itself? | 22:01 |
| hollywoodb | rabidweezle: for non-gnome/kde/xfce desktop you'll probably want to install something like gmrun | 22:02 |
| jrib | rabidweezle: yes. It's part of gnome-panel | 22:02 |

| unr3a1 | I cannot find it | 22:10 |
| unr3a1 | I am trying to find the extconf.rb file, but I cannot | 22:10 |
| Chikubu | use a searc program, search the whole file system | 22:11 |
| === nicholas_ is now known as tacosarecool | ||
| unr3a1 | what search program? | 22:11 |
| Chikubu | anyway to mount ext4 in xp, or is that not out yet? | 22:11 |
| bigrigger | unr3a1: sudo find / -name 'extconf.rb' try that in a terminal. | 22:12 |
| _dbd_l12 | unr3a1: i guess openssl itself should be just a simple "apt-get install openssl" away. Maybe you also need the libssl-dev package? | 22:13 |
| batistet | hello friends.which antivirus should i use? | 22:13 |
| bazu | none :P | 22:13 |
| batistet | avast!? | 22:13 |

| kos | hi - I need help with a DHCP Modem to update BIND9 on Ubuntu | 22:14 |

| ikonia | kos: #bind for bind support | 22:14 |
| davdav | Good evening to all of you m happy if you help? | 22:14 |
| ikonia | batistet: you're not using windows - so it doesn't matter what they use | 22:14 |
| bazu | 82% of viruses are only for windows | 22:14 |
| batistet | yes i know that but. | 22:14 |
| bazu | and we have mac and unix :P | 22:14 |

| bazu | take it easy :P | 22:15 |
| batistet | i've heard that avast is quite good | 22:15 |
| usr13 | bazu: What are the other 18percent for? | 22:15 |
| batistet | just wondering if you used anything different | 22:15 |

| bazu | mac and unux | 22:15 |
| bazu | unix | 22:15 |
| bazu | sorry | 22:15 |
| rww | batistet: For Ubuntu systems, you don't need anti-viral software. For Windows, ask in ##windows, not here. | 22:15 |
| erle64- | is there a easy way to add apps to a live cd? | 22:16 |
| batistet | i'm sorry if i annoyed you all | 22:16 |

| toastmonster | can someone help me | 22:16 |
| bazu | and i`m gonna tell you | 22:16 |
| ikonia | batistet: installing anyvirus on linux won't protect your friends windows clients | 22:16 |
| bazu | just right i search it | 22:16 |
| erle64- | ikonia, usr13, how? just installing it while the session is running? | 22:16 |
| ikonia | toastmonster: what's the issue ? | 22:16 |
| toastmonster | i want to reformat and install windows 95 | 22:16 |
| usr13 | toastmonster: Sure | 22:16 |
| ikonia | erle64-: correct | 22:16 |
| batistet | i know that too | 22:16 |
| red-lichtie_ | toastmonster: Easy, install windoze :) | 22:16 |
| _dbd_l12 | unr3a1: you may also need libssl0.9.8 | 22:16 |
| ikonia | toastmonster: if you're trying to troll - go else where | 22:16 |
| usr13 | toastmonster: No problem | 22:16 |
| toastmonster | ikonia its not compatible with my network card | 22:17 |
| cholisterix | hi gys does anybody knows an ubuntu application that finds an artist by some lyrics??? | 22:17 |
| ikonia | toastmonster: if you have a serious problem, please ask | 22:17 |

| ikonia | erle64-: | 22:17 |
| ikonia | erle64-: no, sorry | 22:17 |
| cholisterix | anybody? | 22:17 |
| toastmonster | and i just have no idea how to reformat it | 22:17 |
| batistet | it would have to be a very good one to protect my friends .even linux couldn't do that. windows has many holes | 22:17 |
| cholisterix | or maybe a site ? | 22:17 |
| batistet | :P | 22:17 |
| unr3a1 | _dbd_l12: I have that as well | 22:17 |
| ikonia | batistet: no - installing antivirus on linux will not protect your friends windows install - fact | 22:17 |
| ikonia | toastmonster: just install over the top of it, or delete the partitions | 22:18 |
| usr13 | toastmonster: use a hammerdrill | 22:18 |
| ikonia | usr13: that's not helpful | 22:18 |
| erle64- | ikonia, do you have any link or something? | 22:18 |
| cholisterix | actually i am looking for a song that says "out of reach out of touch " it is a rock ballad... :-) | 22:18 |

| cholisterix | ikonia, : hmm ok | 22:18 |
| ikonia | erle64-: there is a guide on help.ubuntu.com about maintaining live session data on a usb stick | 22:18 |

| toastmonster | usr13 whats a hammerdrill-i'm a complete noob. I'm putting in the windows boot disk, but i can | 22:19 |
| toastmonster | whoops | 22:19 |
| ikonia | erle64-: not going to happen unless it's installed in a user home directory | 22:19 |
| toastmonster | i can't find the bios | 22:19 |
| cholisterix | ikonia, : just asking if there is an app for that :-) | 22:19 |
| erle64- | ikonia, i doesnt need to be dynamicly, i just want to costumize the live system | 22:19 |
| unr3a1 | _dbd_l12: let me show you the problem I am getting. | 22:19 |
| ikonia | toastmonster: you need to contact your hardware vendor/manual for that | 22:19 |
| usr13 | toastmonster: ask on #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:20 |
| _dbd_l12 | unr3a1: is it possible this is a ruby source file? ok, show me | 22:20 |
| erle64- | ikonia, before i use it | 22:20 |
| ikonia | erle64-: you could re-spin a livecd with the applications you want installed | 22:20 |
| wolter | which is the apt package for the default wireless drivers? | 22:20 |
| cholisterix | ikonia, : do you know such app , if exists for ubuntu ?? | 22:20 |
| erle64- | ikonia, thats what i want, how do i do that? what are the recommended tools? | 22:20 |
| ikonia | wolter: they are already installed | 22:20 |
| ikonia | cholisterix: no | 22:20 |
| toastmonster | ikonia it was there when i installed ubuntu, but i can't get there now | 22:20 |
| davdav | I want to connect a server on French free.fr | 22:20 |
| davdav | help me if you enjoy I have a little trouble with mirc | 22:20 |
| ikonia | !respin | 22:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about respin | 22:20 |
| toastmonster | i used it to install it | 22:20 |
| ch4v3z | i did, "dpkg-reconfigure kdm" and it still doesn't use kdm as default, how can i fix this? | 22:20 |
| wolter | ikonia, i know... which is the package? | 22:20 |
| ikonia | toastmonster: ubuntu can't touch your bios | 22:20 |
| usr13 | cholisterix: apt-cache search apt-name | 22:20 |
| ikonia | wolter: the kernel | 22:20 |
| unr3a1 | _dbd_l12: http://rafb.net/p/B6KsGs14.html | 22:21 |
| wolter | ikonia, ok | 22:21 |
| usr13 | !apt-cache | 22:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-cache | 22:21 |
| ikonia | davdav: we don't support mirc | 22:21 |
| cholisterix | usr13, : thanks but i was looking for an app that i don't now if it exists :-) | 22:21 |
| Dillizar | i am installing a debian program and i need to execute->webcam what is execute in ubuntu | 22:21 |
| unr3a1 | _dbd_l12: I googled the error, and got this in one of the results: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/90083 | 22:21 |
| usr13 | cholisterix: Describe it. What does it do? | 22:21 |
| ikonia | Dillizar: don't install debian packages on ubuntu | 22:22 |
| batistet | so your suggestion is that i don't use one antivirus | 22:22 |
| ikonia | batistet: yes | 22:22 |
| batistet | given the amount of viruses for windows | 22:22 |
| _dbd_l12 | maybe you could try installing ruby1.8-dev (or whatever it's called). Looks very hard like a missing ruby dep. | 22:22 |
| cholisterix | usr13 : an ubuntu application that search music artist by some lyrics?? | 22:22 |
| ikonia | batistet: that has nothing to do with it | 22:22 |
| rww | batistet: Once again, for Ubuntu systems, you don't need anti-viral software. For Windows, ask in ##windows, not here. | 22:22 |
| Dillizar | ikonia, its from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyCam | 22:22 |
| usr13 | cholisterix: google | 22:22 |
| cholisterix | usr13, : ha ha ok :-) | 22:23 |
| batistet | yes rww | 22:23 |
| batistet | i know that | 22:23 |
| batistet | i will suggest my friends to start using linux too | 22:23 |
| ikonia | Dillizar: so what's the problem | 22:23 |
| usr13 | batistet: Yes, no need to use antivirus if you are linux user. | 22:23 |
| ikonia | batistet: let them use what they want | 22:23 |
| batistet | yes | 22:23 |
| batistet | it will be just a suggestion no harm in that:P | 22:23 |
| cholisterix | usr13, : but it's almost impossible to find "out of reach out of touch " contained in a lyric that is rock ballad | 22:24 |
| cholisterix | usr13, : i only find pop songs :( | 22:24 |
| Dillizar | ikonia, i need to execute->webcam and i dont know what is that | 22:24 |
| cholisterix | usr13, : thanks anyway :-) | 22:24 |
| ikonia | gksudo 'python /usr/share/EasyCam2/core.py --gtk' | 22:24 |
| batistet | well friends thanks for the information | 22:24 |
| myron | xkill won't work with fullscreen wine applications, is there a program that does? | 22:24 |
| ikonia | Dillizar: it says what to do in the webpage you posted to me | 22:24 |
| unr3a1 | _dbd_l12: ruby1.8-dev is already latest version | 22:25 |
| _dbd_l12 | unr3a1: will read some more into the thread link you posted, seems to contain some interesting pointers | 22:25 |
| davdav | I do not understand what you want me to understand, we do not support mirc | 22:26 |

| ikonia | davdav: mirc is a windows appliction, this channel does not offer help for mirc | 22:26 |
| Dillizar | ikonia, what is this Module gspca not found. | 22:27 |

| quibbler | cholisterix: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/black-lungs-lyrics/when-it_s-blackout-lyrics.html | 22:27 |
| myron | does anyone know of a program that will kill wine apps? | 22:27 |
| cholisterix | usr13, : that is THANKS:-) | 22:27 |
| ikonia | Dillizar: the kernel module it wants to load for the webcam is not found | 22:27 |
| usr13 | cholisterix: Thanks google | 22:27 |
| dashavoo | myron: kill or killall | 22:27 |
| cholisterix | usr13, : thanks A LOT :-) :-) hahahahaha yes | 22:27 |
| sixofour | sudo unrar e x Outgoing.rar doesn't work, but i need both options [e and x] | 22:27 |
| cholisterix | usr13, : it was that Belladona's songs ;) | 22:28 |
| quibbler | cholisterix: http://www.poemhunter.com/song/belladonna/ | 22:28 |
| myron | dashavoo: wouldn't kill all also kill the x server? | 22:28 |
| cholisterix | quibbler, : nice it is ok thanks | 22:28 |
| dashavoo | killall name-of-process kills all processes with that name | 22:29 |
| dashavoo | myron | 22:29 |
| davdav | you do not work on windows? | 22:29 |
| Dillizar | ikonia, so how can i put it :) | 22:29 |

| duvnell1 | trying to know what it's called.. please complete this sentence for me: Ubuntu doesn't run sys v init scripts to start services, it uses _______. ? | 22:30 |
| _Whipper__ | hmph :L | 22:30 |
| ikonia | davdav: upstart | 22:30 |
| rww | duvnell1: upstart? | 22:30 |
| ikonia | duvnell1: upstart | 22:30 |
| duvnell1 | perhaps so.. didn't even know what to google for.. thx | 22:30 |
| duvnell1 | are there others? | 22:31 |
| _Whipper__ | others what? | 22:31 |
| kitche | duvnell1: upstart but it's still SysVinit sort of just a different version of it really | 22:31 |
| myron | dashavoo: Thanks, I'll give it a shot. | 22:31 |
| ikonia | duvnell1: you can use init-ng, upstart, sysvinit | 22:31 |
| duvnell1 | init-ng is what gentoo uses? | 22:31 |
| _Whipper__ | duvnell1, : u mean gentoo or Sabayon? :) | 22:32 |
| davdav | ok thank you ubuntu community good evening | 22:32 |
| duvnell1 | dunno :).. | 22:32 |
| ch4v3z | i can't even get kwin to run, it says "kwin: unable to claim manager selection, another wm running?" | 22:32 |
| duvnell1 | thx for inof | 22:32 |
| kitche | ch4v3z: you most likely have metacity running or another window manager | 22:33 |
| dookie | | | 22:33 |
| ch4v3z | kitche, how do i change it? | 22:33 |
| === DigitalFiz_ is now known as Fiz | ||
| kitche | ch4v3z: killall <window manager> && kwin --replace | 22:33 |
| === Fiz is now known as DigitalFiz | ||
| ch4v3z | killall? | 22:34 |
| ch4v3z | <window manager> ? | 22:34 |
| kitche | ch4v3z: yes the window manager you are running | 22:34 |
| _dbd_l12 | unr3a1: did you compile ruby from source? if you used the packages you could try installing libopenssl-ruby (there are libs for diff. ruby versions in the repos) | 22:34 |
| _Whipper__ | not literatully u have to kill all :) | 22:35 |
| Dillizar | how can i install libv4l2? | 22:35 |
| _Whipper__ | Dillizar, : use Synaptic | 22:36 |
| Dillizar | _Whipper__, hmm thanks dude i forgot that :P | 22:36 |
| Axalix | sudo aptitude install libv4l2 | 22:36 |
| _Whipper__ | no prblm | 22:36 |
| unr3a1 | _dbd_l12: I did not compile from source, I installed via apt-get | 22:36 |
| gumpert345 | hi is there a way to install ubuntu with a kernel, that doesnt require a pae cpu? | 22:36 |
| unr3a1 | _dbd_l12: let me try getting that libopenssl-ruby | 22:37 |
| koshari | ch4v3z: why dont you use a window manager and log out and log back into kde? | 22:37 |
| kitche | gumpert345: umm what pae is for memory has nothing to do with cpu | 22:37 |
| _Whipper__ | Axalix, : i'll allways try to get'em use GUI, when they r new to Lin.. | 22:37 |
| myron | dashavoo: well, I tried "killall wineserver" but it just froze the applications that were open | 22:37 |
| unr3a1 | _dbd_l12: you are my hero :) that worked.. | 22:38 |
| gumpert345 | well, my cpu C3 Nehemia has no pae support, but all modern kernel support pae and require it to run (says wikipedia) | 22:38 |
| Axalix | Whipper, all right | 22:38 |
| _dbd_l12 | no problem, i'm no ruby expert so i'm glad it worked ;) | 22:38 |
| unr3a1 | _dbd_l12: here is the result now: http://rafb.net/p/sR9XO335.html | 22:39 |
| _Whipper__ | afterall, isnt Ubun.. just that, "easy to use and graphical" :) | 22:39 |
| joe-cool | hi@all | 22:39 |
| _dbd_l12 | unr3a1: that's better ;) | 22:39 |
| unr3a1 | _dbd_l12: where did you end up finding the package I needed? | 22:39 |
| kitche | gumpert345: wrong never trust wikipedia | 22:39 |
| Sonderblade | is there a gui tool for managing partitions? | 22:39 |
| Samy | gparted | 22:40 |
| _Whipper__ | Sonderblade, :Gparted | 22:40 |
| Sonderblade | thanks | 22:40 |
| Samy | ;) | 22:40 |
| _Whipper__ | Sonderblade, : and others too.. | 22:40 |
| _dbd_l12 | unr3a1: a combination of some google-fu and the great tool apt-file which lets you search through the repos based on filename | 22:40 |
| myron | does anyone know of a command that will kill all running wine programs? | 22:41 |
| kitche | myron: killall wine-server I believe | 22:41 |
| _Whipper__ | myron, : shutdown is one.. | 22:41 |
| unr3a1 | _dbd_l12: doh... should have thought of the apt-get search. I always forget that. thanks again, much appreciated | 22:41 |
| myron | kitche: that froze up the wine programs, and did not kill them | 22:42 |
| kitche | myron: killall wine | 22:42 |
| _VIM_ | apt-cache search unr3a1 :) | 22:42 |
| _dbd_l12 | unr3a1: well apt-file find x is different than apt-cache search. you'd need the package apt-file installed first. but it comes in handy very often | 22:42 |
| gumpert345 | kitche but this time i tend to believe it, I tried ubuntu 8.10 9.04 mythdora 10 and centos 5.2 and they always reboot about 1 second after starting, noapic and acpi=off can stretch that a little, like 2 seconds, I once ran openfiler on it (2 years ago) I think it used a 2.4... kernel, which is said, not to support pae | 22:42 |

| Samy | I use ubuntu 7.10 in a HP tx1000. I'm connected to my wifi router. I have the weird problem that I cannot open www.google.com or www.google.cl , but I can actually see any other website. In fact, from my PC (not this notebook) that is connected to the same wifi router (with a cable) I can see google as well as any other website. Here in my notebook I have tried to ping www.google.com and it has no output. Could someone give an idea, please? | 22:43 |

| bazu | what`s the diferent between apt-get and aptitude | 22:45 |
| _Whipper__ | some Finnish blood in the line i see :) | 22:45 |
| LjL | !aptitude | bazu | 22:46 |
| ubottu | bazu: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 22:46 |
| unr3a1 | _dbd_l12: thank you again. you too _VIM_. | 22:46 |
| _VIM_ | :) | 22:46 |
| bazu | but is better to use apt-get right ? | 22:46 |
| allalt | :) | 22:47 |
| bazu | becouse i start aptitude dist-upgrade and that show me to remove desktop firefox | 22:47 |
| _Whipper__ | bazu, : its a matter of opinion.. | 22:47 |
| bazu | and almost everythink | 22:47 |
| epaphus | hey guys, anybody can show me how to encrypt the entire filesystem?? | 22:47 |
| amikrop | Canonical, or even better, The Linux Foundation, should seriously collaborate with major software vendors like EA sports, Blizzard or Adobe. | 22:47 |
| _Whipper__ | epaphus, : why? | 22:48 |
| allalt | ne | 22:48 |
| amikrop | It's unacceptable to be unable to use very popular and useful applications. | 22:48 |
| myron | ahh, I found my answer, wineserver -k | 22:48 |
| _VIM_ | epaphus: i donno about the "entire" filesystem but try truecrypt maybe | 22:48 |
| epaphus | _Whipper__, i think that that is an option in Ubuntu.. right? | 22:48 |
| _dbd_l12 | epaphus: the information is just one google search away, e.g. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7743 | 22:48 |
| myron | Thanks for the help everyoen | 22:48 |

| Alastor | An issue? | 23:15 |
| Samy | joe-cool: Yes, I know. I was just kidding about googling. Anyway, it still is a problem for me | 23:16 |
| _Whipper__ | Alastor, : nevö mind.. a bit light-headed for all the sleeplesness.. or smthng.. | 23:16 |
| mezquitale | rainwalker, it could be corruption on the hard drive, i would check it for errors using windows | 23:16 |
| Samy | ( btw, sorry for my awful writing) | 23:16 |
| _Whipper__ | did i just get a f***d message ?? | 23:17 |

| hector__ | now i see it | 23:25 |
| joe-cool | Samy, if you can ping but not rech via http it could be problem with domain name server ;-) | 23:25 |
| quibbler | !Hello | Crooper | 23:26 |
| ubottu | Crooper: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 23:26 |
| Kuukkeli^ | i got a problem, i dont know where to get all java and other video codecs to watch youtube. =) | 23:26 |
| joe-cool | try to find out the ip of www.google.com and ping the ip directly | 23:26 |
| kitche | Kuukkeli^: install flashplugin-nonfree and a jre | 23:26 |
| Samy | joe-cool: Now it makes sense. and that would explain why the other PC can access www.google.com | 23:26 |
| Kuukkeli^ | nonfree? | 23:27 |
| Crooper | lol thnx quibbler , i'm tethering from a boat and didn't see any chatting | 23:27 |
| epaphus | hey guys, this is a silly question.. how do I put the at sign in Ubuntu? | 23:27 |
| hector__ | have you tried using the ADD/Remove feature in ubuntu? | 23:27 |
| joe-cool | Samy, i think so too | 23:27 |
| S7UMPY | Kuukkeli^: nonefree | 23:27 |
| S7UMPY | :P | 23:27 |
| Kuukkeli^ | lol :P | 23:27 |
| Samy | joe-cool: Could you please give me some ip of www.google.com ? | 23:27 |
| S7UMPY | but it is free | 23:27 |
| _VIM_ | it's free as in free beer, just not free as in speech | 23:27 |
| Gerinych | got a problem, i made a new partition for grub and i copied all the grub files from sgd, it worked fine, but then i replaced all the stage files with the ones from a grub0.97 deb package and now it says error 2 every time i try to boot linux or error 15 if i try windows | 23:27 |
| S7UMPY | does anyone know how to get synfig studios running on ubuntu 8.10. It acts like its loading, then just shuts down after that. any ideas? | 23:28 |
| joe-cool | Samy, yes but i dont know if its the same ip because of different countries | 23:28 |
| Samy | I see... you're right | 23:28 |
| Kuukkeli^ | kitche, i forgot how to install plugins >,< | 23:28 |
| Samy | I'll ask some friend via messenger | 23:28 |
| bruce89 | Samy: 209.85.229.99/ | 23:28 |
| Rods_Tiger | when will ubuntu be usable on an Acer Aspire One netbook? | 23:28 |
| hector__ | S7UMPY did you install all the dependencies that it required? | 23:28 |
| joe-cool | for best you ping www.google.com from yur other pc and then you receive answer from a ip and this is the ip from google.com | 23:28 |
| S7UMPY | there are no tutorials i could find for intrepid. all for hardy and lower | 23:28 |
| eseven73 | How do i get cinelerra working in intrepid? I dont see it in the repos or a PPA only a PPA for hardy | 23:29 |
| syockit | Rods_Tiger: usable, as in out-of-the-box? | 23:29 |
| Rods_Tiger | yes | 23:29 |
| Rods_Tiger | install, and it works properly | 23:29 |
| surf | im using 8.04 hardy with xserver-xorg and default drivers, the system crashes _every_ time i USE DRI/DRM (i.e. glxgears) any idea ? | 23:29 |
| joe-cool | Samy, you know what i mean? | 23:29 |
| S7UMPY | im assuming the dependencies are correct because i got them from the add/remove app | 23:29 |
| _dbd_l12 | epaphus: depends on your keyboard setting- what does "sudo cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep XkbLayout" give? | 23:29 |
| crdlb | surf: what gpu? | 23:30 |
| Crooper | Rods_Tiger, i think the embedded verion with netbook mix is out | 23:30 |
| S7UMPY | and i removed then ran in terminal and still nothing | 23:30 |
| S7UMPY | installed through terminal* | 23:30 |
| hector__ | oh sometimes it does that still | 23:30 |
| _VIM_ | !pastebin | epaphus | 23:30 |
| ubottu | epaphus: 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) | 23:30 |
| Rods_Tiger | the ubuntu netbook remix is too slow to boot or come out of idle | 23:30 |
| quibbler | Kuukkeli^: in a terminal do: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 23:30 |
| surf | crdlb mga G400 | 23:30 |
| Matr|X | W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://ftp.osuosl.org hardy/ Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.osuosl.org_pub_pculture.org_miro_linux_repositories_ubuntu_hardy_Packages) | 23:30 |
| Matr|X | W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems | 23:30 |
| Rods_Tiger | and wireless doesn't work on it | 23:30 |
| syockit | S7UMPY: no logs/debug output at all? | 23:30 |
| crdlb | surf: matrox? I doubt anybody's working on 3d acceleration for that :/ | 23:31 |
| gidna | Hi | 23:31 |
| epaphus | is there an option to make the filesystem encrypted upon the installation of ubuntu? | 23:31 |
| Crooper | the adobe-flashplugin works better | 23:31 |
| gidna | I have problem with sound in ubuntu 8.10 | 23:31 |
| hector__ | oh what about starting it from terminal? | 23:31 |
| bruce89 | epaphus: in Jaunty yes | 23:31 |
| Crooper | it's version 10 | 23:31 |
| S7UMPY | i dont get an error at all for the program. it just goes blank after it "looks like its loading" | 23:31 |
| gidna | with 8.04 all worked good | 23:31 |
| S7UMPY | syockit | 23:31 |
| g1er | Is there a way to do an ubuntu apt-get update using windows? (no internet on ubuntu atm) | 23:32 |
| hector__ | I dont think there is | 23:32 |
| syockit | g1er: that'll involve using a virtual machine or colinux | 23:32 |
| surf | crdlb, i read that xorgs opensource drivers were already supporting accell ... this card has 16mb ram and is really fast | 23:32 |
| epaphus | bruce89, iam sorry... what is Jaunty? | 23:33 |
| g1er | ok. thanks | 23:33 |
| hector__ | its the new release of ubuntu | 23:33 |
| hector__ | 9.04 is jaunty | 23:33 |
| b1n42y | !ssh | 23:33 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 23:33 |
| surf | crdlb, i think i will disable DRI @xorg.config to fix that | 23:33 |
| hector__ | 8.10 is ibex | 23:33 |
| _VIM_ | its not out till next month (late april) | 23:33 |
| kitche | not a new release just the next version of ubuntu won't be a release until it's released | 23:33 |
| hector__ | yeah but you can still test it | 23:33 |
| bruce89 | hector__: Interpid | 23:33 |
| Rods_Tiger | will jaunty boot quick enough to be usable? | 23:33 |
| bruce89 | hector__: Intrepid | 23:33 |
| _VIM_ | hector__: this chan does not support Jaunty | 23:33 |
| bruce89 | !jaunty | 23:34 |
| ubottu | Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 23:34 |
| Kuukkeli^ | will QEMU make windows fully usable? | 23:34 |
| Kuukkeli^ | while ubuntu being open | 23:34 |
| gidna | What can I do? | 23:34 |
| quibbler | Kuukkeli^: in a terminal do: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 23:34 |
| hector__ | Kuukkeli^ what are you trying to do in windows? | 23:35 |
| Crooper | Matr|X, check your sources.list file and comment out the duplicat lines | 23:35 |
| S7UMPY | do i need to install more dependencies in Synaptic Package Manager for synfig studios? to get it to run on 8.10/intrepid? | 23:35 |
| epaphus | bruce89, iam sorry... what is Jaunty? | 23:35 |
| syockit | Kuukkeli^: a vm cannot make an OS fully usable. there will always be catches somewhere, like hardware detection etc | 23:35 |
| Kuukkeli^ | Play steams games because atis r600 open source 3d driver isn't here yet | 23:35 |
| bruce89 | !jaunty > epaphus | 23:35 |
| ubottu | epaphus, please see my private message | 23:35 |
| hector__ | S7UMPY I would install them. | 23:35 |
| S7UMPY | kk | 23:35 |
| bruce89 | quibbler: what's non-free Java got to do with QEMU? | 23:36 |
| Kuukkeli^ | Because with Proprietary driver, the models of HL2 just stretches all around and makes cute epilepsy | 23:36 |
| hector__ | oh he asked another question | 23:36 |
| syockit | Kuukkeli^: then it's hardware related. high chance you can't get it working | 23:36 |
| bruce89 | !who | hector__ | 23:37 |
| ubottu | hector__: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:37 |
| Kuukkeli^ | syockit, so my only chance is to reinstall ubuntu after installing windows xp to make a dualboot? | 23:37 |
| quibbler | bruce89: i'didn't know he was on QEMU | 23:37 |
| hector__ | but im lazy | 23:37 |
| hector__ | do i have to? | 23:37 |
| unop | Kuukkeli^, if ubuntu is already installed, no - all you need to do is reinstall grub. | 23:37 |
| bruce89 | !who | hector__ | 23:38 |
| Kuukkeli^ | grub? What for? | 23:38 |
| bruce89 | !tab > hector__ | 23:38 |
| ubottu | hector__, please see my private message | 23:38 |
| Scarra3 | Hello | 23:38 |
| Nalf | Hello. | 23:38 |
| Kuukkeli^ | for steam; Cedega didn't work, Wine didn't work. | 23:38 |
| syockit | Kuukkeli^: normally the reason winxp installation causes ubuntu to be unbootable is because grub is replaced | 23:38 |
| unop | Kuukkeli^, to have ubuntu load. | 23:38 |
| eseven73 | does cinelerra work in intrepid? It's not in repos, and i cannot find a PPA for it | 23:39 |
| Kuukkeli^ | no no no, i only have ubuntu at this moment | 23:39 |
| hector__ | !bruce is that right? | 23:39 |
| Scarra3 | Would ubuntu work ok on an external hard drive that is connected to my computer threw usb? | 23:39 |
| syockit | Kuukkeli^: so after installing winxp, you can fix the grub through a livecd, or some grub utility on windows if there exists one | 23:39 |
| unop | Kuukkeli^, precisely. | 23:39 |
| kitche | Kuukkeli^: steam does work in wine look at the wine appdb it tells you how to install it | 23:39 |
| S7UMPY | ok so i installed all the dependencies for synfig studios, and i still get nothing. | 23:39 |
| bicho | good evening | 23:39 |
| S7UMPY | any ideas | 23:39 |
| syockit | kitche: the problem was with ati driver | 23:39 |
| Matr|X | thx:) u guys | 23:40 |
| Matr|X | u realy so kind | 23:40 |
| Kuukkeli^ | kitche, the problem isn't steam, the problem is the games with my ATI driver which is r600! | 23:40 |
| AcidPuddle | 08.10: /usr/share/gdm/guest-session/guest-session-launch doesn't work - any ideas ? | 23:40 |
| Kuukkeli^ | so no open source 3d engine for me | 23:40 |
| Scarra3 | Who has installed ubuntu on an external hard drive before | 23:40 |
| IdentifyTarget | is sudo apt-get update the same thing as running update manager in Ubuntu? | 23:40 |
| bruce89 | IdentifyTarget: yes | 23:40 |
| IdentifyTarget | cool | 23:40 |
| unop | IdentifyTarget, no. | 23:40 |
| kitche | Kuukkeli^: so install radeonhd driver, it works for 3d just not using native 3d but though mesa | 23:40 |
| syockit | Scarra3: um, me? but for booting on another laptop | 23:40 |
| unop | IdentifyTarget, update manager actually installs stuff too (i believe). | 23:41 |
| Scarra3 | syockit: does it work ok threw usb? | 23:41 |
| IdentifyTarget | bruce89: I'm asking because I will be installing ubuntu minimal (no gui) and would like to keep the OS up to date | 23:41 |
| Kuukkeli^ | kitche, i have RadeonHD driver installed, its propriety driver and the fps is 10 and the models are all stretched out and making cute epilepsy crapola | 23:41 |
| bruce89 | IdentifyTarget: same goes for aptitude safe-upgrade | 23:41 |
| hector__ | !bruce89 im lost now | 23:41 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:41 |
| unop | IdentifyTarget, it might be equivalent to. aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade | 23:41 |
| kitche | Kuukkeli^: you could install fglrx which is the propriety driver radeonhd is the open source driver | 23:42 |
| hector__ | how do i use tab? | 23:42 |
| syockit | Scarra3: my install was for a primary partition in another laptop, because it had no usb/cd booting capability | 23:42 |
| eseven73 | ok obviously Cinelerra does not work in intrepid is there anything close to it? tried kdenlive, cant figure it out | 23:42 |
| bruce89 | hector__: the tab key | 23:42 |
| unop | hector__, hec<TAB> | 23:42 |
| Myrtti | hector__: type in the first few letters, then hit the tab key | 23:42 |
| M4d3L | hi. what is the best way to emule software only running on windows on ubuntu? | 23:42 |
| Kuukkeli^ | kitche: only comes with 2d version | 23:42 |
| hector__ | bruce89, | 23:42 |
| syockit | Scarra3: anyways, if you configured the usb drive's grub properly, it should work | 23:42 |
| Kuukkeli^ | 3d version needs few more months. | 23:42 |
| Matr|X | sorry guys i installed apache2 ,, and when i type http://localhost / its working fine ...( its work ... if i want to access it from another computer , wht i can type http:/what | 23:42 |
| hector__ | oh lol | 23:42 |
| hector__ | i was holding it at the same time | 23:42 |
| epaphus | Can anybody tell me what the alternate disk is for??? is this to install ubuntu? | 23:42 |
| imaginativeone | how do I back up a dvd with k3b? | 23:43 |
| hector__ | no wonder it wasn't working | 23:43 |
| kitche | Kuukkeli^: yes radeonhd does only come 2d but the fglrx should have 3d support in it since it's the propiertory driver | 23:43 |
| Nalf | Matr|X: go to http://whatismyip.com and type in http://thenumberyougetonthatsite. | 23:43 |
| syockit | M4d3L: emulate? wine tries best to run windows apps | 23:43 |
| bruce89 | !emule | 23:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about emule | 23:43 |
| _VIM_ | !info emule | 23:43 |
| ubottu | Package emule does not exist in intrepid | 23:43 |
| M4d3L | syockit: yeah. emulate sorry | 23:43 |
| _VIM_ | :/ | 23:43 |
| Myrtti | !info amule | 23:43 |
| ubottu | amule (source: amule): client for the eD2k and Kad networks, like eMule. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.2-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 1758 kB, installed size 4376 kB | 23:43 |
| surf | crdlb, disabling DRI works, no crashes anymore 16Mb ram arent really worth the try | 23:44 |
| hector__ | bruce89, thanks i finally got it | 23:44 |
| syockit | just as i thought someone would misunderstand .. | 23:44 |
| Kuukkeli^ | kitche: i think i have it atm, and because of that; my videos are all blinking and 10fps Hl2 with stretchy models ft. Epilepsy | 23:44 |
| bruce89 | hector__: indeed you gave | 23:44 |
| epaphus | Can anybody tell me what the alternate disk is for??? is this to install ubuntu? | 23:44 |
| kitche | Kuukkeli^: so you have fglrx since you should have more then 10fps if you do | 23:44 |
| Sertse | epaphus: alternative cd allows you to install ubuntu in a console (non graphical) environment. Useful in older computer. Alternate CD also allows you to tune what you want installed | 23:44 |
| kitche | Kuukkeli^: unless it's not installed correctly | 23:44 |
| M4d3L | so wine is the best apps I can find? | 23:44 |
| bruce89 | !alternate > epaphus | 23:44 |
| ubottu | epaphus, please see my private message | 23:44 |
| Kuukkeli^ | okay i'll try to install it again | 23:44 |
| Myrtti | epaphus: yes, it's for installing ubuntu as well. it gives few more options for the installation and in general works with all the graphics cards | 23:45 |
| bruce89 | oops, I wanted pipe, not > | 23:45 |
| Kuukkeli^ | kitche: could you give me some link or command for it? | 23:45 |
| _VIM_ | Sertse: im lagging, or you type 500 wpm :P | 23:45 |
| syockit | M4d3L: if you want a real emulator, virtual machines are another solution. they're slower | 23:45 |
| lucax | hey guys im on a kinda old notebook and ubuntu when i try to install it i goes all good until it try to load the graphical interface, can it be modify something from grub so i use like non special drivers or something like that... im tryin to install it... | 23:45 |
| M4d3L | I want to install photoshop | 23:45 |
| kitche | !ati | Kuukkeli^ | 23:45 |
| ubottu | Kuukkeli^: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:45 |
| kitche | Kuukkeli^: sometimes you have to mess with Ati cards for them to work correctly hence why I stay away from them | 23:46 |
| hector__ | M4d3L, why don't you give gimp a shot? | 23:46 |
| bruce89 | !photoshop | M4d3L | 23:46 |
| ubottu | M4d3L: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant - Try also joining #ubuntu-bots and asking BestBot | 23:46 |
| Sertse | hehehe, I'm no crazy typist. | 23:46 |
| koshari | \syockit you cannot compare VMs and emulators, they are different things and acheive different objectives | 23:46 |
| _dbd_l12 | M4d3L: look for the instructions in the wine appdb | 23:46 |
| M4d3L | am very familiar with it. I dont have time to learn gimp. | 23:46 |
| syockit | M4d3L: if you have windows, you can finetune wine to reuse windows dll instead of it's built-in wrappers | 23:46 |
| imaginativeone | how do I back up a dvd with k3b? | 23:46 |
| bruce89 | M4d3L: not much learning required | 23:46 |
| bruce89 | imaginativeone: you don't | 23:46 |
| hector__ | M4d3L, its not that hard to use. | 23:47 |
| grndslm | imaginativeone: k9copy | 23:47 |
| syockit | M4d3L: sometimes the apps come bundled with the required dll too | 23:47 |
| hector__ | M4d3L, you can even use gimpshop it has about the same interface photshop has | 23:47 |
| Gerinych | is there any way to install grub_gfxboot on a grub-only partition? | 23:47 |
| happy_ | hey, anyone know how to read the bonnie test outputs, http://paste.linuxassist.net/213570 | 23:47 |
| webPragmatist | which of the windows emulators is most popular? vbox/vmware ? | 23:47 |
| webPragmatist | or windows booters i guess | 23:48 |
| M4d3L | bruce89: I will learn it with the time but now I must produce and I know photoshop. | 23:48 |
| Matr|X | im static network | 23:48 |
| Kuukkeli^ | oh god im lost | 23:48 |
| Kuukkeli^ | Enable accelerated the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the restricted-manager | 23:48 |
| Kuukkeli^ | Where do i do that? | 23:48 |
| grrlfawkes | hrm, i just upgraded to 8.10 and my computer's been turning off randomly | 23:48 |
| M4d3L | I want to complete switch to ubuntu. I have format completly my disk to not go again on the dark side :P | 23:48 |
| bruce89 | M4d3L: it'd be less painful to just use Windwos | 23:48 |
| bruce89 | oh | 23:49 |
| === cristal is now known as Guest44687 | ||

| _Whipper__ | bruce89, : now you are talking nonsense | 23:49 |
| Kuukkeli^ | where is the restricted manager? | 23:49 |
| bruce89 | _Whipper__: in what way? | 23:49 |
| _dbd_l12 | M4d3L: in general you can find information concerning wine compatibility here: e.g. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2631 | 23:49 |
| _VIM_ | photoshop cs2 works in wine, not sure bout cs3 though or cs4 | 23:50 |
| wendy_ | hi all, what program can i use to retrieve deleted files? | 23:50 |
| _Whipper__ | bruce89, : "just use win.. in my a**.. there tons of graph software out there | 23:50 |
| hector__ | Kuukkeli^, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 23:50 |
| M4d3L | hector__: like I said. I actually know photoshop, I have try gimp but I have lot of problem with psd on gimp. all my layer are not editable. | 23:50 |
| bruce89 | _Whipper__: I meant that if you want to use photoshop, they should use it in Windows | 23:50 |
| Kuukkeli^ | hector: 8.1 | 23:51 |
| Kuukkeli^ | well 8.10 | 23:51 |
| bruce89 | _Whipper__: I'm a pragmatic | 23:51 |
| syockit | M4d3L: right, if you're already used to photoshop, better off finding out how to get photoshop running | 23:51 |
| _Whipper__ | M4d3L, : have u tried anything else besides gimp? | 23:51 |
| Kuukkeli^ | wheres the restricted manager on 8.10 | 23:51 |
| bruce89 | !ohmy | _Whipper__ | 23:51 |
| ubottu | _Whipper__: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. | 23:51 |
| syockit | M4d3L: i advise against using vm for that | 23:51 |
| Gartral2 | i cant get sound out of rythmbox | 23:51 |
| hector__ | Kuukkeli^, the thing your looking at is at System>Administration>Hardware Drivers | 23:51 |
| M4d3L | _Whipper__: heu I have play 2 hour with it but not more. | 23:52 |
| hector__ | Kuukkeli^, do you see it? | 23:52 |
| Kuukkeli^ | hector__: Yep | 23:52 |
| _Whipper__ | bruce89, : sorry if i hurt your feelings :) didnt mean no harm.. | 23:52 |
| Kuukkeli^ | currently activated :P | 23:52 |
| hector__ | Kuukkeli^, is that what you were looking for? | 23:52 |
| Kuukkeli^ | Maybe, thanks | 23:53 |
| hector__ | No problem | 23:53 |
| bruce89 | _Whipper__: that's fine, but I don't the Ubuntu-or-bust attitude some people have | 23:53 |
| Sertse | what's the motivation to sit in on irc and answer endless streams of tech Q's? Appreciate it but curious why we do it | 23:53 |
| Gartral2 | rythmbox won't play anything and it just hung when i attached my dap | 23:53 |
| demy | Does any one knows how to boot windows from a extended NTFS partition in ubuntu? | 23:53 |
