| amortvigil | hello what to do with this error??: gtk_tree_view_set_cursor_on_cell: assertion `tree_view->priv->tree != NULL' failed | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis | russia213, i would not get obsessed with the cube then untill you learn some more fundamentals.. | 00:00 |
| _Linuxx_ | PeoplesAdvocate yeah, thats a good one. if you have an extra box around, just install pfsense. 10 times better than ddwrt | 00:00 |
| === Mion is now known as Guest52838 | ||
| critt | IntuitiveNipple Hell yea. You da man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-D | 00:01 |
| IntuitiveNipple | critt: The best modeline from that is "Modeline "1024x768" 94.50 1024 1096 1200 1376 768 771 775 809 -hsync +vsync" which you could add to the Monitor section of xorg.conf (and remove the Horiz... and Vert... settings) | 00:01 |
| === Guest52838 is now known as fogobogo | ||
| russia213 | Dr_Willis: Would I just copy, rename, and paste somewhere else? | 00:01 |
| IntuitiveNipple | critt: oops, typo again, that isn't the best modeline! This is "Modeline "1280x1024" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync" | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | russia213, learn to use the command line.. if you break X you wont bea le to use X to 'fix' it | 00:01 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | _Linuxx_ will i need two NIC cards? | 00:01 |

| PeoplesAdvocate | alright appreciate your help | 00:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | critt: You have it *working* with that resolution? | 00:02 |
| _Linuxx_ | np | 00:02 |

| critt | Yes | 00:02 |
| NewToUbuntu_ | First time on IRC/mIRC. New to Ubuntu as well. Not ever sure if this is the right place to make this request. I'm trying to learn how to install ddrescue in order to recover data form an external drive that is not working properly. Would anyone be willing to spend some time to direct me how to get started? I am tech savy and learn quickly. Thanks in advance. | 00:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | critt: Did you manage that using nvidia-settings? | 00:02 |
| Keal | how do i take a screenshot in ubuntu? | 00:02 |
| critt | Yes | 00:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | critt: If nvidia-settings did that use it to increase to 1280x1024! | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | Keal: just press print screen and save it | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | Keal: keep the file extension on .png | 00:03 |
| critt | IntuitiveNipple will do | 00:03 |
| gRnt | drostie, am trying deluge now, I normally drop anywhere between 1-30 minutes but I'll know pretty quick it normally completey stuffs up my net even if it doesn't drop thanks for the advice. | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | NewToUbuntu_: your in the correct channel, but I don't think many people have used that here, that come here | 00:04 |
| ultimatelifeform | WE LOVE SONIC!!!!!!!!! | 00:04 |
| Keal | how do i show hidden files and all extensions? | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | view show hidden files and folders | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | NewToUbuntu_: I guess this channel is worth trying for that issue as well #linux it's a more general LInux channel | 00:05 |
| scunizi | Keal: ctrl + H | 00:05 |
| bbelt16ag | hey peeps i got acpi installed is this what gnome uses to do a suspend or hibernate?/ i see alot of scripts and the like.. | 00:05 |
| bbelt16ag | acpid i mean.. | 00:05 |
| fjdkslafjklds | my sound all of a sudden stopped working, i get a wierd staticy output when i try to play a sound file | 00:05 |
| _Linuxx_ | NewToUbuntu_ you are going to need 2 drives, one (the broken one) then two(the same size as the broken one) | 00:05 |
| NewToUbuntu_ | sebsebseb, how do I access #linux, it that like another channel? | 00:06 |
| bbelt16ag | just wondering cause been having issues with hibernating | 00:06 |
| fjdkslafjklds | i checked all the volume controls, including the system one, and pulse audio | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | NewToUbuntu_: by clicking on it or /join #linux | 00:06 |
| Keal | the pink and orange line went away when i changed the skin | 00:06 |
| NewToUbuntu_ | thanks seb!!! | 00:06 |
| Keal | i double checked the human skin isn't corrupt | 00:06 |
| _Linuxx_ | NewToUbuntu_ you could then run that program, and it will try to recover any readable data from the broken one, to the new one | 00:06 |
| fjdkslafjklds | what is the command to reconfigure my sound devices? | 00:06 |
| critt | IntuitiveNipple Looks good!!! have saved settings to xorg.. Thanks a bunch WOW:-D | 00:06 |
| Keal | i took a screenshot of the lines though | 00:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | critt: Nice one :) | 00:07 |
| Booh | I don't know why, my saved VPN in network manage doesn't work anymore since few months. I have 6 VPN connections (cisco and win pptp) neither of them work now. | 00:07 |
| fjdkslafjklds | please someone just fill me in on the command for configuring sound devices | 00:07 |
| fjdkslafjklds | isnt it like alsaconf or something like that | 00:07 |
| fjdkslafjklds | alsaconf doesnt work for me | 00:07 |
| fjdkslafjklds | what else can i try? | 00:07 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | i forget my username on ubuntu 7.10 | 00:07 |
| dtchen | keaton: you need to unmute 'PCM' and increase its volume | 00:08 |
| scunizi | !sound | fjdkslafjklds | 00:08 |
| ubottu | fjdkslafjklds: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 00:08 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | i tried all option mentioned on google | 00:08 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | but didnt work | 00:08 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | need help | 00:08 |
| Flannel | CapriCoRN^80: At GRUB, choose the "recovery console", once there, you can view your usernames (cat /etc/passwd) | 00:08 |
| dtchen | fjdkslafjklds: we haven't shipped alsaconf as part of alsa-utils since Ubuntu 5.04 | 00:08 |
| fjdkslafjklds | well dtchen, its been a while ;) | 00:08 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | i used that recovery procedure by pressing e and adding rw init =/.................. | 00:08 |
| whileimhere | Evening! I was wondering if there is a Media Management system for ubuntu? I mean for instance a cataloging program like picasa that can handle video, images, sounds all in one catalog program? | 00:09 |
| Flannel | CapriCoRN^80: No, you don't have to change anything. Just choose "recovery console" | 00:09 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | Flannel: when i use recovery console it will again go to normally username prompt | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | russia213, the proper way to tweak those setting now are via 'hal' and fdi config files. (somhing ive not used befor eitehr) ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=948154 | 00:09 |
| Flannel | CapriCoRN^80: It shouldn't. It should go straight to a root prompt. Unless you've messed up your grub config | 00:09 |
| keaton | dtchen:That again? That happened to my desktop too, how bizarre... Well, thanks. | 00:09 |
| _Linuxx_ | CapriCoRN^80 do you have an ubuntu boot cd? | 00:09 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | Flannel: i did nothing | 00:09 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | _Linuxx_: yes | 00:09 |
| fjdkslafjklds | yay it works, thanks for !sound ing me | 00:10 |
| Flannel | CapriCoRN^80: Alright, go back and edit, and append 'single' to the end of the vmlinuz line. | 00:10 |
| _Linuxx_ | CapriCoRN^80 boot to that, then browse your hard drive to /home | 00:10 |
| fjdkslafjklds | that was too easy | 00:10 |
| _Linuxx_ | CapriCoRN^80 then you will see your home directory named with your username | 00:10 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | Flannel: i did that single thing as well | 00:11 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | _Linux_: you mean i should boot from live cd ? | 00:11 |
| _Linuxx_ | CapriCoRN^80 yeah | 00:11 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | and from live cd i should select recovery console option ? | 00:11 |
| _Linuxx_ | CapriCoRN^80 no, just boot into it like you are going to try out ubuntu | 00:12 |
| sjcire | I have an error to report. This will be my first. Does anyone know how I would go about that? | 00:12 |
| Flannel | !bugs | sjcire | 00:12 |
| ubottu | sjcire: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | 00:12 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | _Linuxx_: its long process | 00:12 |
| 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. :-) | 00:12 |
| sjcire | !bugs | 00:12 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | anyother short cut ? | 00:12 |
| _Linuxx_ | CapriCoRN^80 i think ubuntu mounts your hard drive | 00:12 |
| arkady | why is the flash plugin 32-bits? | 00:13 |
| _Linuxx_ | CapriCoRN^80 it should only take 2 min to boot to a live cd | 00:13 |
| Flannel | sjcire: Follow the link ubottu sent you | 00:13 |
| CapriCoRN^80 | ok | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | arkady: there is also a very good 64bit flash alpha/beta | 00:13 |
| arkady | sebsebseb: is there a package? | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | arkady: nah you get it off Adobe's website some where, if your on 64bit | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | arkady: it's in development, but still rather good | 00:14 |
| arkady | sebsebseb: meh, I recall that Debian Stable had it in non-free | 00:14 |
| arkady | if there isn't even a jaunty deb... that means it won't be in next release | 00:15 |
| rdz | is there a way to have a higher resolution for boot screen and also for the terminal, that can be accessed through alt-ctrl-f1 etc? | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | rdz, ' | 00:16 |
| scunizi | rdz: boot screen is limited to 640x480 I believe.. not sure about terminal though.. | 00:16 |
| Dr_Willis | rdz, thats the Console on alt-ctrl-F1 and you can enable the framebuffer and have higher res. | 00:16 |
| arkady | with a framebuffer kernel line I believe | 00:16 |
| xdfz | how can I do it please, with conky I think : http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/4310/capturejz1.png ( on the left ) | 00:17 |
| arkady | has anyone tried Nexenta, and how similar to Ubuntu is that? | 00:17 |
| zip | hi | 00:17 |
| mgolisch | arkady: its not linux | 00:18 |
| DigitalKiwi | !hi | 00:18 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:18 |
| _Linuxx_ | xdfz yes, thats conky | 00:18 |
| nyx | sebsebseb: Where is this 64-bit Adobe Flash alpha/beta? | 00:18 |
| zip | i installed kde for windows. can i start it | 00:18 |
| arkady | mgolisch: it's the same packages as ubuntu pretty much, so I wonder how much the kernel matters | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | xdfz, u You mean the 'root window ' termnal on the left? | 00:18 |
| bonez46 | I have moved 2 sata drives and one ide driver to a newer box.. if i click on any of the drives I get this message > Cannot mount volume. The volume uses the ext4 file system which is not supported by your system.. I am running with an UBUNTU 8.10 live desktop disc.. | 00:18 |
| mgolisch | arkady: its just uses a ubuntu userland, for a desktop system id not consider using it | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | xdfz, conky isent doing that.. but theres other ways to do it. | 00:18 |
| bonez46 | how can I mount each drive so that I can fix menu.lst so that the drives will be bootable and visible .. ? suggestions? | 00:19 |
| TokenBad | ok..I have a friend who first tried to install ubuntu 8.10 then tried ubuntu 9.04..the 8.04 was working fine..but everytime he tries to go to 8.10 or to 9.04 he can't even get to the install part of it..he gets to the boot menu then nothing.. | 00:19 |
| rdz | Dr_Willis, i would like to set up framebuffer.. do you know any resource or where to start? | 00:19 |
| arkady | mgolisch: the interesting thing to me is that it'll boot up in 64-bit or 32-bit depending on what's available | 00:19 |
| _Linuxx_ | arkady its solaris, very different than linux | 00:20 |
| mgolisch | arkady: but its solaris basicaly, there much different | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | rdz, you just edit the menu.lst and read the commands and put in the right #.s i niormaally DISABLE the framebuffer.. :) | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !framebuffer | rdz | 00:20 |
| ubottu | rdz: Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub | 00:20 |
| mgolisch | arkady: unless you realy need zfs or some other stuff it provides id not use it | 00:20 |
| arkady | mgolisch: ah, thanks | 00:20 |
| scunizi | bonez46: you could try putting the drives in the same numerical positions on the motherboard that they were on the previous system and make sure the boot order is also the same. | 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | nyx: he provides the link in the article and by the looks of it, it's not alpha anymore :d http://blogs.computerworld.com/64_bit_linux_adobe_flash_player_surprisingly_good?page=1 | 00:20 |
| arkady | mgolisch: hmm... I thought Linux had ZFS | 00:20 |
| _Linuxx_ | arkady applications are ported to solaris from linux. they can be buggy | 00:20 |
| TokenBad | his video card is a 6600gt..any idea why ubuntu will not install with that card? | 00:20 |
| mgolisch | arkady: not realy | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | TokenBad, ive jheard of others with issues with that card.. | 00:21 |
| sixofour | What is the apt-get package for Python 2.2? | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | TokenBad, the alternative insatller should work.. also. | 00:21 |
| scunizi | bonez46: since it's ext4 on the drives you might burn a copy of the Jaunty cd.. I think it might have ext4 available.. it's not available on the 8.10 cd | 00:21 |
| mgolisch | sixofour: thats stoneage, i doubt ubuntu ships with python2.2 | 00:21 |
| arkady | _Linuxx_: but it's far different than the Debian/kFreeBSD | 00:21 |
| sixofour | or newer* | 00:21 |
| mgolisch | sixofour: python2.5 should be installed by default | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | python is included :) | 00:22 |
| sixofour | on kubuntu? | 00:22 |
| TokenBad | Dr_Willis you seen any of them that have got around that? | 00:22 |
| bazhang | yes | 00:22 |
| bonez46 | scunizi: but I have never installed ext4.. | 00:22 |
| arkady | _Linuxx_: in that you're not emulating anything (other than Flash, yeah) | 00:22 |
| sixofour | what about wxpython? | 00:22 |
| sixofour | 2.6.0 or newer | 00:22 |
| mgolisch | sixofour: if you need that install it | 00:22 |
| sixofour | what is the package called? | 00:22 |
| mgolisch | sixofour: apt-cache search is your friend | 00:22 |

I can get the nautilus to connect to the ssh thought sftp interactive mode by including a port specification. I now use sftp://user@server:22/folder instea | 00:23 |
| scunizi | bonez46: it's weird that it would say that then.. | 00:23 |
| sixofour | yes and i get about 4000 results | 00:23 |
| arkady | scunizi: bonez46: yeah, Jaunty has ext4 by default | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | TokenBad, some may of used the drivers from envyng, or the newer nvidia drivers from the nvidia site. check the forums would be he best bet | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ext4 is not the 'default' but an option | 00:23 |
| arkady | Dr_Willis: err, I mean it's IN by default | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ok :) heh | 00:23 |

| * medfly is lost | 00:24 | |
| arkady | as in, you can mount ext4 stuffs. had a Debian install with custom kernel that I had to recover because I stupidly picked the newest filesystem | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | TokenBad, try the alternative installer.. or do like i do and make a usb-live-drive from a different ubuntu system and install the nvidia drivers. but you need a ubuntu system to do that. | 00:24 |
| TokenBad | Dr_Willis or get a better/different card..heheh | 00:25 |
| gRnt | drostie, thanks for the advice on deluge is working prefectly, transmission would have already had a conflict with my net, maybe it was a driver issue not sure. | 00:26 |
| arkady | ext4 seems worth it, but I won't be using it until Jaunty goes stable | 00:26 |
| Time`s_Witness | is there any way that i could filter the content returned by tcpdump command in real life, with a "grep" or similar ? | 00:26 |

| scrote | how do i uninstall a package that is installed with dpkg ? | 00:32 |
| arkady | Suikwan: madwifi drivers are reportedly supposed to support that | 00:32 |
| medfly | theres deinstall just like install scrote | 00:32 |
| scrote | i used -i to install | 00:32 |
| scrote | so i'll use -d | 00:32 |
| Suikwan | arkady, are the madwifi drivers normally included in the distro? | 00:32 |
| sixofour | how do you install .jar source stuff? | 00:33 |
| I2 | having this error while compiling a program: http://pastebin.com/m22bf2362 please help me........ | 00:33 |
| scrote | that didnt work | 00:33 |
| scrote | it says dpkg: need an action option | 00:33 |
| arkady | Suikwan: probably not, and apparently D-Link has linux drivers so that might be a better bet | 00:33 |
| LjL | scrote: sudo apt-get remove packagename | 00:34 |
| Suikwan | Do you know where I can get the linux drivers? | 00:34 |
| scrote | LjL but i installed this manually, i didnt know apt-get remove can uninstall packages that were installed via dpkg | 00:35 |

| arkady | Suikwan: apparently that is "old and unsupported" by D-Link, and they don't have Linux drivers | 00:36 |
| Suikwan | arkady, the DWL-G520? | 00:36 |

| arkady | Suikwan: yes | 00:37 |
| LjL | scrote: yes you can. | 00:37 |
| unop | scrote, apt-get uses dpkg to install .deb files - so sure you can. | 00:37 |
| LjL | scrote: and no, you don't remove the deb file itself. you need to specify the *package name*. | 00:37 |

| dnathe4th | it might just not be possible | 00:44 |
| LjL | dnathe4th: yes i do | 00:44 |
| Ish | !aptitude | 00:44 |
| 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 | 00:44 |

| Suikwan | arkady, yes, but I have multiple entries...I have wifi0 and ath0...wifi0 has a weird physical address | 00:44 |
| Ish | activate wifi0? | 00:45 |
| arkady | Suikwan: a "weird" physical address? pastebin the output please | 00:45 |
| arkady | and multiple copies has happened for me before, but... not since I did a reinstall | 00:45 |
| Ish | and then ath1 will come up, then use that? lol, that's what i did | 00:45 |
| arkady | so I think it's just an iffy HAL Daemon | 00:45 |
| Suikwan | arkady, how do I pastebin the output, kinda new to IRC | 00:46 |
| Ish | Suikwan, cl1p.net | 00:46 |

| munk_ | can someone help me? none of my usb drives are mounted, lsusb sees them but they never automount... | 00:55 |
| Suikwan | true, but I'd like to eliminate the really long cable | 00:55 |
| yoyit2 | sebsebseb: so how would i make it go as fast as it used to when i first installed it?? (i still have like 60GBs free on my HDD) | 00:55 |
| sebsebseb | yoyit2: how much RAM? | 00:55 |
| Keal | i can't figure out how to reset history or get rid of broken links in history in ubuntu's totem movie player :./ | 00:56 |
| arkady | Suikwan: wireless is painful even if you must use it and have proper drivers. connection WILL cut out, and usually in the middle of a dist-upgrade | 00:56 |
| yoyit2 | sebsebseb: 2GBs, with 6GBs swap.. 1.9GBs dual amd | 00:56 |
| scrote | wireless is not a pain on kde 4.2 with knetworkmanager | 00:56 |
| Rtrix | anyone familiar with busybox and moblin kerne | 00:56 |
| arkady | not that it matters much, as the upgrade won't happen until files are all downloaded :P | 00:56 |
| yoyit2 | sebsebseb: **2Ghz dual amd | 00:57 |
| sebsebseb | yoyit2: there are ways to speed up Ubuntu, but I don't really know about that | 00:57 |
| Rtrix | anyone familiar with busybox and moblin kernel | 00:57 |
| sebsebseb | yoyit2: and 6GB is to much for swap, would could also be to do with your issue | 00:57 |
| sebsebseb | yoyit2: you want like 1GB for swap | 00:57 |
| arkady | scrote: if wireless is your only link and you lose connection, well, all your downloads terminate | 00:57 |
| yoyit2 | sebsebseb: why is it bad to have 6?? | 00:57 |
| humbolt | I just don't get it to work! | 00:57 |
| sebsebseb | yoyit2: which not would above | 00:57 |
| sebsebseb | yoyit2: ,because 6GB is way more than what swap needs. and the recommended amount is like 512MB or 1GB | 00:57 |
| Suikwan | arkady, true, wireless will never be as reliable, but it would be really nice if i could get rid of the long ethernet cable running from one end of the office to the other | 00:57 |
| sebsebseb | yoyit2: the computer may also be slow if it uses swap | 00:57 |
| yoyit2 | sebsebseb: hmm.. ok can i shrink my swap in anyway? | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | yoyit2: of course | 00:58 |
| keithclark | anyone know if a Linksys wpc54G adaptor works with ubuntu? | 00:58 |
| Keal | i can't figure out how to reset history or get rid of broken links in history in ubuntu's totem movie player :./ how do i reset history in totem? | 00:58 |
| arkady | Suikwan: may be too expensive, but they make small wireless bridge devices | 00:58 |
| humbolt | I am trying to create an USB install media. I got the USB pendrive booting, I select "Install" from the menu, kernel and initrd are loaded and then ... reboot instead of install | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | yoyit2: you can't change / the Ubuntu partition unless your on Live CD, but you can re size swap space | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | yoyit2: sudo apt-get install gparted | 00:58 |
| munk_ | can someone help me? none of my usb drives are mounted, lsusb sees them but they never automount... | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | yoyit2: and then system > administaration > partition editoir | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | yoyit2: 1GB for swap is good | 00:59 |
| Suikwan | arkady, or just mod a wrt54g with DD-WRT and turn it into a wireless client | 00:59 |
| Keal | i have 60gb swap :/ | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | Keal: that is insane, and way to much | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | !swap | 00:59 |
| arkady | Suikwan: there's an option in DD-WRT called wireless bridge or something, actually | 00:59 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 00:59 |

| nds | Does anyone have a automatix file I can get? | 01:00 |
| Ish | munk_, my understanding is that they SHOULD Be automounting, so if you get no response, that's probably why | 01:00 |
| Keal | sebastienyoga as far as i know swap is also used during hibernate :/ | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | Keal: yes maybe, but even then you only should need like 1GB | 01:00 |
| Keal | :S | 01:01 |
| Ish | 60gigs seems completely normal, don't let them knock you | 01:01 |
| Rtrix | any one familiar with efi boot and lpia kernel | 01:01 |

| sebsebseb | Ish: 60GB swap is way to much | 01:01 |
| nds | Im running it on 20 :D | 01:01 |
| matrixblue | Is 60gigs swap even allowed? | 01:01 |
| nds | Oh O.O 60 gig swap O.O | 01:01 |
| sebsebseb | nds: 20GB swap is also way to much | 01:01 |
| keithclark | Ok, where would I go to install a driver for a linksys wpc54g card? It worked with Mint | 01:01 |
| nds | I meant my entire system lol | 01:01 |
| nds | Not my swap :D | 01:02 |
| matrixblue | lol | 01:02 |

| nds | *gig | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | yep good size 1GB | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | swap | 01:02 |
| matrixblue | mine is 1 gig as well | 01:02 |
| Keal | :< | 01:02 |
| TheGeneral | cool | 01:02 |
| Ish | i heard it should be equal or double to your ram | 01:02 |
| matrixblue | it seldom ever uses more that 10 megs | 01:02 |
| arkady | 5.0GB swap, even though I hope that it never really does much swapping | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | Ish: well if you got 4GB RAM you don't do 8GB RAM, in fact with 4GB RAM, you probably don't even need swap in the first place | 01:03 |
| Keal | i can't figure out how to reset history or get rid of broken links in history in ubuntu's totem movie player :./ how do i reset history in totem? | 01:03 |
| Ish | what happens if you have NO swap? | 01:03 |
| nds | Nothing | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | Ish: I ran this computer quite well without swap. and this is 1GB RAM | 01:03 |
| nds | You just hit your limit | 01:03 |
| rww | Ish: you can't suspend or hibernate or something, apparently. I don't do anything like that, so I'm not sure. | 01:03 |
| Ish | limit for what? computations? | 01:03 |
| nds | I run my pc on 256 mb of my 1.4 gb ^-^ | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | Ish: I only put swap here more recently towards end of last year. to be honest I am not even sure if the system ever uses it | 01:03 |
| winston_the_cat | swap is just used to write to memory when you've run out of RAM, I believe | 01:03 |
| TheGeneral | if you have no swap, your apps will fail to allocate memory once all main memory has been utilized | 01:03 |
| nds | Limit for amount of memory being used | 01:03 |
| keithclark | Ok, nobody? | 01:03 |
| nds | My pc never hits swap | 01:04 |
| nds | And im only on 1 gb so.... | 01:04 |

| Rtrix | any ubuntu expert here? i really need help with installing gnome | 01:04 |
| Ish | i'm not even sure if i have any swap, i was just trying to troll the guy who has 60gigs wasted on it | 01:04 |
| rww | Rtrix: what's up? | 01:04 |
| TheGeneral | are you talking about a dedicated swap partition, or using a swap file | 01:04 |
| arkady | hmm, whats' really odd is that my nVidia is SPEEDING UP when I'm not in 3D due to the idle speed being faster than the 3d speed | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | Ish: well using a rediculously high swap is retarded, way better off using that space for hard disk space | 01:05 |
| funkyHat | Rtrix: gnome is installed on Ubuntu by installing the package ubuntu-desktop | 01:05 |
| TheGeneral | gnome is installed on ubuntu when you install ubuntu | 01:05 |

| nds | Probably | 01:06 |
| funkyHat | Tapout: I'm sure Compiz has a plugin that does something like that | 01:06 |
| arkady | Tapout: I know there are tiling window managers | 01:06 |
| Keal | the last 35gb partition on the drive is marked to not use | 01:06 |
| nds | Use gparted and see if it is seen | 01:06 |
| Ish | Tapout, check out compiz, if you haven't seen it YOU WILL CREAM YOURSELF | 01:06 |
| Tapout | cpmpiz eh.. ok | 01:06 |
| Keal | i have 3 60gb partitions etc | 01:06 |
| TheGeneral | i don't think so, vista has pretty advanced tech for readyboost | 01:06 |
| Tapout | compiz rather | 01:07 |

| nds | Ill get the command for it | 01:07 |
| Ish | munk_, i'm no expert, i'm just judging this based on the fact that no one will acknowledge that you're here | 01:07 |
| matrixblue | readyboost is a feature in Vista that allows you to use a flash drive as extra memory | 01:07 |
| TheGeneral | sorry, was just trolling a little, it's a way in vista to utilize a flash drive to extend your memory | 01:07 |

| nds | There | 01:09 |
| matrixblue | what's the prob munk? | 01:09 |
| Ish | munk_, what usb things are you trying to get to work? | 01:09 |
| nds | It preloads most used binaries to memory | 01:09 |
| funkyHat | munk_: are the USB drives formatted? if there is no filesystem on them they will not be able to automount | 01:09 |

| nds | Poit for the noob :D | 01:09 |

| munk_ | Ish, mp3 players, hard drives and such...they worked before.. | 01:09 |

| funkyHat | bbelt16ag: sorry for the clever comment ;) I didn't read back to find out what you were talking about | 01:19 |

| humbolt | I never would have thought, that installing from USB would be such a hassle!!!!!! | 01:22 |
| louiscvh | hi somebody know how to create user in mysql ? | 01:22 |
| arkady | sebsebseb: exactly, just because it's in stable kernel doesn't mean you should "upgrade now" | 01:23 |
| matrixblue | I heard about some people who reported data loss with ext4 due to the delayed write feature | 01:23 |
| humbolt | I find it disturbing, that a CD-Rom is still required for Installation1!! | 01:23 |
| Chaorain | my Compiz wallpapers plugin is not working at all is there another setting that needs to be changed? | 01:23 |
| rww | humbolt: it's not. | 01:23 |
| Ish | cdrom? you can totally netinstall | 01:23 |
| n8tuser | louiscvh -> have you done a tutorial on mysql? if not, kindly do one please | 01:23 |
| nds | huh, figures, I reinstalled Ubuntu, and now I found the command to fix it ;( | 01:23 |
| Ish | oh god i hate mysql, don't even get me started!!! RAAAAAAGE | 01:24 |
| arkady | you can use unetbootin too | 01:24 |

| arkady | you can even go bluray! | 01:24 |
| bbelt16ag | ok now it seems to be working, and why the heck can hibernate bring back my old session in gnome instead of creating a new plain session with no apps that were running etc.. ????? | 01:24 |
| Ish | the bad part is, it's been so long since i've worked with it that i'm going to have to look up the commands all over again | 01:24 |
| winston_the_cat | codeuser: you might want to check your settings in Compiz-Fusion Settings Manager | 01:24 |
| humbolt | rww: It is. Creating an USB media from the Live CD worked ... but the installer would crash. | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | arkady: what???// | 01:24 |
| codeuser | winston_the_cat: where is this setting located in there. I have looked | 01:25 |
| rww | humbolt: I've used http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ several times. It works perfectly for me. | 01:25 |
| bonez46 | arkady ok,.. but how can I get 8.10 desk to see those drives then, or can't I? | 01:25 |
| arkady | sebsebseb: http://www.linux-magazine.com/online/news/debian_lenny_with_blu_ray_images_and_live_cd | 01:25 |
| funkyHat | louiscvh: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/account-management-sql.html | 01:25 |

| humbolt | rww: That does not work! | 01:25 |
| humbolt | rww: Trash | 01:25 |
| Ish | Chaorain, lets start a group about how we hate mysql | 01:25 |
| arkady | humbolt: works in Ubuntu, unlike in Debian | 01:26 |
| humbolt | arkady: certainly not with the alternate images | 01:26 |
| rww | humbolt: Again, works for me and plenty of other people, so no, it isn't trash. | 01:26 |
| BCampbell | anyone have experience with getting an brother hl-4040 cdn printer installed? | 01:26 |
| humbolt | rww: alternate CD? | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | arkady: oh right, well putting linux on a blueray disc would seem like a waste of one to me | 01:26 |
| funkyHat | bbelt16ag: I don't know for definite the answer to your question, but adding your script to /etc/acpi/suspend.d looks pretty likely | 01:26 |
| arkady | humbolt: ah, that's why! there's a trick, you can mount the usb yourself and fiddle with things | 01:27 |
| winston_the_cat | codeuser: not sure | 01:27 |
| Ish | it's just a glorified spreadsheet | 01:27 |
| arkady | humbolt: but it's because whoever wrote the Debian thing didn't really think that anyone would use alternate media | 01:27 |
| nds | I got this message when chowning my disk chown: changing ownership of `/media/disk1': Operation not permitted | 01:27 |

| humbolt | arkady: fiddle with things in unetbootin or in the installer? | 01:28 |
| arkady | sebsebseb: I know a few people who could fill a blueray disk | 01:28 |
| Ish | Chaorain, pick a forum | 01:28 |
| arkady | humbolt: well, in the installer or while installing. I just did it while installing | 01:28 |
| nds | How do I change my terminal to root | 01:29 |
| nds | :s | 01:29 |
| funkyHat | Ish: Chaorain: if you struggle with the mysql command line interface you can install helper programs like phpmyadmin or mysql-administrator (but this is probably getting off topic now so I'll leave it there) | 01:29 |
| Chaorain | Ish, I use GBATmep.net a lot | 01:29 |
| humbolt | arkady: I tried different things, but obviously not the right thing. How to I get the damn installer to believe there is a CDrom | 01:29 |
| Chaorain | Ish, let you know when I get my site up | 01:29 |
| jere-nii_ | Is it possible that this machine is running slow because of multitasking? | 01:29 |
| nds | !root | 01:29 |
| 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 | 01:29 |
| Ish | funkyHat, i would need someone to explain phpmyadmin, or the other one... | 01:30 |
| arkady | humbolt: I recall there being a special bootinstall where you placed an ISO on the USB disk and used it that way | 01:30 |
| winston_the_cat | nds: use "sudo su" | 01:30 |

| stpere | hi, I'm having an issue with compiz after upgrading to nvidia drivers 96.43.11 | 01:31 |
| codeuser | joanki123: try opening a terminal and typing 'update-manager -d' without the quotes | 01:31 |
| humbolt | arkady: Some script put all the files from my CD on the USB disk, and I have another USB pen, which holds the iso image. Just mounting it to /cdrom does not do the trick. | 01:31 |
| Ish | nds, sudo | 01:31 |
| stpere | someone know how to fix that? the window decorator seems to be broken | 01:31 |
| bonez46 | arkady: any other ideas on my dilemma... I know if I could get menu.lst straightened out.. I could boot up each disk | 01:31 |
| funkyHat | joanki123: yes, do what codeuser said, you'll have to upgrade to 8.04 first and then to 8.10 | 01:31 |
| nds | Still doesnt work | 01:31 |

| humbolt | arkady: but a debian installer will not help me much | 01:32 |
| Guiri | Hey I have a question specific to the Ubuntu phpBB3 package - What's the login? Even with dpkg-reconfigure there's no prompt to create a phpbb user/login. Yet the package doesn't have the install directory. | 01:32 |
| arkady | humbolt: I thought the debian iso was pretty much equivalent to the Ubuntu extended installer iso | 01:32 |
| QaDeS | ah, found it. ty ;) | 01:33 |
| humbolt | arkady: still, it will use other repositories. | 01:33 |
| joanki123 | funkyHat or codeuser , i did it and it said only partial upgrade available. should i do partial upgrade? | 01:33 |
| codeuser | joanki123: no idea... why don't you download the latest installation media from ubuntu.com? | 01:33 |
| nds | How can permission be denied to root O.O | 01:33 |
| funkyHat | joanki123: it's up to you, 8.04 is a long term support release so it will have updates for 3 years, 8.10 is a regular release, so you'll get newer versions of programs, but you will need to update to a newer version sooner, depends which you prefer | 01:33 |
| joanki123 | codeuser, because then i have to burn to a cd, right? | 01:33 |
| arkady | humbolt: you can choose repos can't you? | 01:33 |
| codeuser | joanki123: or use a flash drive | 01:33 |
| Guiri | Anyone on phpBB? | 01:34 |
| humbolt | arkady: yes, sure | 01:34 |
| joanki123 | funkyHat, what would you do.... sorry... just nervous! | 01:34 |
| funkyHat | codeuser: yes do a partial upgrade, it may remove some packages but they will probably just be libraries that you don't need anymore | 01:34 |
| Ish | nds, you're sure you're doing "Sudo command" | 01:34 |
| arkady | humbolt: thats if you want a netinstall, if you don't, then it might be possible to swap out the ISO with a Ubuntu ISO | 01:34 |
| Ish | except lowercase | 01:34 |
| funkyHat | joanki123: if something you want is uninstalled by the partial upgrade you can easily install it again once the upgrade is done | 01:34 |
| joanki123 | funkyHat, you meant me, right. and also, would you go with 8.04 or with 8.10? | 01:34 |
| funkyHat | joanki123: sorry, yes I meant you | 01:34 |
| joanki123 | i think 8.04 is the better way to go, right.... after all, you want the one that is the most stable.... | 01:35 |

| joanki123 | i had a system crash on hardy because i uninstalled virtualbox and its packages | 01:36 |
| joanki123 | so now i have to reformat | 01:36 |
| funkyHat | joanki123: personally I would upgrade to 8.10, but I don't mind upgrading my system every 6 months to keep up with the latest release, if 8.04 has all of the features that you want then I would stick with that, and upgrade to 10.04 when it's released, which is the next long term support version (someone correct me if I've got the wrong version) | 01:37 |
| Alex_21 | It is the MINI DYNN cameras actually | 01:37 |
| joanki123 | funkyHat, thanks | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | joanki123, proberly you dont.. but it pays to learn how to isntall things from the terminal/console/liveccd | 01:37 |

| nds | Yeah :\ | 01:42 |
| nds | Why is this keep happening | 01:42 |
| nds | I just redid my pc last night from this | 01:42 |

| bonez46 | sprinkmeier: if I get a message like this > mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, << does that mean I need to keep trying, something different or am I outta luck? | 01:42 |
| Dr_Willis | nds, normally its somthing you did... | 01:42 |
| arkady | it involves a special version of grub which can chainload off an ISO | 01:42 |
| sprinkmeier | bonez46, it means the mount command cannot figure out what filesystem is installed, or you're telling it something different from what it's reading (i.e. you're asking to mmount FAT as EXT or something). try "sudo fdisk -l" to get a list of partitions | 01:43 |

| bonez46 | sprinkmeier: ok. I got those loaded.. I guess I need to brush up on grub and naming conventions for drives.. I can access /boot/grub/menu.lst. so I should be able to fix each menu.lst so that it can boot up, right? | 01:45 |

| nomasteryoda | that should make it right joetromondo | 01:47 |
| sprinkmeier | galag, don't. Just tell the BIOS to boot off the CD, grub not involved | 01:47 |

| sajuuk | hey guys, trying to setup my CUPS on my server and despite it being installed and that I have gone through the cupsd.conf file and edited it and made sure its all good, but i can't get 'adduser cupsys shadow' nor can the server see it even has a cupsys service, as in it doesn't stop, restart /etc/init.d/cupsys | 01:47 |
| Happy-Dude | hiya | 01:47 |
| sprinkmeier | bonez46, OK.... grub 'lost' the disks. | 01:47 |
| bonez46 | just rusty on hd0,0 and all that stufff | 01:47 |
| sprinkmeier | !grub | bonez46 | 01:47 |
| ubottu | bonez46: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 01:47 |
| bluepojo | anyone know where to start to figure out what I did to my sound? | 01:48 |
| bonez46 | sprinkmeier: yes grub lost the discs | 01:48 |
| Happy-Dude | question: how do I remove HP Device Manager? | 01:48 |
| galag | sprinkmeier, I have no CD reader. The files are in a usb disk and my BIOS don't support boot from it. I have the grub in a floppy disk | 01:48 |
| joetromondo | is not there any way to set that via windows? | 01:48 |
| theclaw | Hi | 01:49 |
| === DomaniGiovanni is now known as SomethingSnappy | ||
| sprinkmeier | galag, like making things difficult, don't you :-) Can you plug in a USB-CD-ROM? | 01:49 |
| arkady | galag: I'm currently testing this with Jaunty, not sure if it'll work properly. http://linux.simple.be/debian/usb | 01:50 |
| SomethingSnappy | Hi all, I was wondering if there is anyone available who can help me with a video card issue | 01:50 |
| sprinkmeier | bonez46, run "sudo blkid /dev/sd[ab]*" and use the UUID's in grub (and /etc/fstab). I'll make things more robust in case HDD's change again | 01:50 |
| galag | sprinkmeier, I have no CD, Just a usb stick, the xubuntu image and a floppy disk. | 01:50 |
| bonez46 | sprinkmeier: does the UUID more explicitly identify each unique drive? | 01:51 |
| sajuuk | anyone want to help me with my CUPS problem? | 01:51 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: depends on the problem.. ask your question | 01:51 |
| galag | sprinkmeier, Grub can the files of the livecd, but I don't know how to make it boot. | 01:52 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, hey guys, trying to setup my CUPS on my server and despite it being installed and that I have gone through the cupsd.conf file and edited it and made sure its all good, but i can't get 'adduser cupsys shadow' nor can the server see it even has a cupsys service, as in it doesn't stop, restart /etc/init.d/cupsy | 01:52 |
| sprinkmeier | bonez46, yes. Each partition is given a universally ubnique ID, so no matter where it pops up (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb etc...) it'll be found. | 01:52 |
| sprinkmeier | galag, sorry, not much of a GRUB expert. All I can suggest is look at the existing lines and mess with them. or get a USB-CDROM. | 01:53 |
| bonez46 | sprinkmeier: ok, that shows all my partitions on all my drives.. I am running 8.10 live cd.. can I then go to /dev/sda2 which is where on the 1st hdd my linux partition is located, and update that /boot/grub/menu.lst with the correct UUID? is that the trick? | 01:53 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, also when i try to access cups on my server, it see's it but I get a failure to connect | 01:54 |
| arkady | galag: you'll have to set the root to the USB drive | 01:54 |
| Guiri | Let me know if anyone is daring enough to spend 5 minutes and install the phpBB3 package on their machine | 01:54 |
| galag | Does the live cd uses grub to start? Where can I found its menu.lst ?? | 01:54 |
| Guiri | I'd like to prove something | 01:54 |
| arkady | galag: root (hdX,Y) | 01:54 |
| galag | arkady, done! | 01:54 |
| sprinkmeier | bonez46, yes, that should do it. Also make sure the grub bootloader is installed on the active disk (see the !grub links) | 01:54 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: you doing this on the server install? and are you trying to setup a print server? | 01:54 |
| galag | arkady, I can see the files, but how can I boot from it? | 01:55 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, yes and yes | 01:55 |
| arkady | galag: now you can use the kernel command, the initrd command, and the boot command | 01:55 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, it is ubuntu 8.10 server | 01:55 |
| galag | arkady, Those commands is what I'm asking to you... | 01:56 |
| === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball | ||
| scunizi | sajuuk: you might try sudo tasksel printserver | 01:56 |
| SomethingSnappy | I'm trying to replace a video card on a machine running 8.10. Midway into loading Ubuntu [with no graphical problems] it freezes and takes me to a wall of text that I don't understand at all. | 01:56 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, did it and I got nothing but the usage page | 01:57 |
| arkady | galag: kernel /<kernelname> root=/dev/<usbdrive> | 01:57 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: did you install a gui on the server? | 01:57 |
| arkady | galag: initrd /<initrd-file> | 01:57 |
| arkady | galag: boot | 01:57 |
| galag | arkady, and what about init=??? | 01:57 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, nope and it would take 2 days to get one from the internet | 01:57 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: slow connection? | 01:58 |

| scroat | hi | 01:58 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, yeah and I live in australia | 01:58 |

| galag | arkady, cool man! Just waiting for your ok to restart and try! | 01:59 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, I think so, I do know its there cos apt-get says it is | 01:59 |
| arkady | galag: well, try booting and see if there's an error (note those things in <> are info you have to specify | 01:59 |

| Alex_21 | Good night | 02:00 |
| bonez46 | sprinkmeier: humor me.. what would a mount command look like , using the UUID instead of the /dev/device nomenclature | 02:00 |
| santous | how do I change the groot device so update-grub doesn't overwrite it? | 02:01 |
| santous | everytime update-grub runs it changes my groot device. | 02:01 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: do you still have the cd? and has the sources.lst been modified so it no longer see's the cd as a repository? | 02:01 |
| sprinkmeier | bonez46, "mount UUID=hex_soup /mnt/directory" instead of "mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/directory". Same optional options.... | 02:01 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, how do I that? | 02:02 |
| santous | is there a conf file somewhere or something? | 02:02 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: let me check my sys | 02:02 |
| bonez46 | ok. | 02:02 |
| jjshoe | (not trolling) is/was ubuntu based off of debian? what does it use for packages? | 02:02 |
| joanki123 | when choosing software sources... do i just check all the sources available? or is that taxing on my system? | 02:02 |
| santous | it uses debs | 02:03 |
| sprinkmeier | jjshoe, yes it is, it uses .deb packages | 02:03 |
| santous | and yes, it's based off of debian. | 02:03 |
| joanki123 | do i want gutusy-security, updates, proposed, backports, all downloadable from internet, from cd-rom, third party software? | 02:03 |
| santous | but, debians update-grub doesn't modify the groot device in menu.lst | 02:03 |
| Flannel | joanki123: You shouldn't select them all, but not because its taxing. Don't choose -proposed, and -backports is only so-so. | 02:03 |
| jjshoe | sprinkmeier any idea on i586 support? I'm lookign at using it on a mini-itx mobo | 02:03 |
| santous | ubuntu's is doing so, and I cannot figure out why. | 02:03 |
| joanki123 | thanks Flannel | 02:03 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list ... this will show you all the repos that are active.. look for a reference for the cdrom and make sure that it doesn't have a "#" at the front of the line. | 02:04 |
| Flannel | santous: Pastebin your menu.lst before the update-grub | 02:04 |
| jjshoe | sprinkmeier and is there a netinstall iso? | 02:04 |
| santous | it's driving me mad | 02:04 |
| joanki123 | Flannel, what about the other ones? | 02:04 |
| joanki123 | are they ok? | 02:04 |
| sprinkmeier | joanki123, all depends on what you want to do and which options you want available. Adding more repositories gives you more things to install, but not all repositories are equally good/stable | 02:04 |
| bonez46 | sprinkmeier: something like this ??? >>> sudo mount UUID="24B85798B85766F8" TYPE="ntfs" /mnt/sda | 02:04 |
| joanki123 | ok... but it's not UNSAFE or taxing on my system to have it | 02:04 |
| joanki123 | i will do that Flannel said if that is the case | 02:04 |
| joanki123 | thanks for the input all | 02:04 |
| Fezzler | how to install rails. apt-get install rails ? | 02:05 |
| sprinkmeier | jjshoe, no problem with i586. gimme a minute or so to fins the netinstall ISO..... | 02:05 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, what would it look like in terms of the line referring to the CD, is it blatantly obvious? | 02:05 |
| Flannel | joanki123: Nah. The others (gutsy, -updates, -security) are likely enabled already anyway. | 02:05 |
| bonez46 | thanks for your help, sprinkmeier..i greatly appreciate this.. | 02:05 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: just a sec | 02:05 |
| santous | ugh grep -ri groot on /etc came up blank. | 02:05 |
| Flannel | !components | joanki123 | 02:06 |
| ubottu | joanki123: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 02:06 |
| santous | where the heck is that stored? | 02:06 |
| jjshoe | sprinkmeier seems like mini.iso, just don't know the code name for the current ubuntu | 02:06 |
| joanki123 | what's the difference between sudo apt-get update and sudo update-manager -d? | 02:06 |
| sprinkmeier | bonez46, I have not useed the TYPE="..." syntax. Also, it might be "-U hex_soup" instead of "UUID=...", to be honest I've never mounted using UUID and was just cheating by looking at /etc/fstab. TRy it, check man mount.... | 02:06 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: yes.. first two words of the line will be "deb cdrom".. probably also one of the first entries. | 02:06 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, lines like this # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081028.1)]/ intrepid m$ | 02:06 |
| GeekChick| | Hey, I have a completely corrupted windows registry (to the point that the repair option in the windows install disk wont work). I am trying to mount the partition with ntfs-3g in ubuntu but I am wondering how safe is it to use the '-o force' option when transferring the files to a USB backup hard drive. | 02:06 |
| Flannel | joanki123: apt-get update will fetch new package information from the internet. update-manager -d will try nd upgrade you to a development release. (They're extremely different) | 02:06 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: yep | 02:06 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, so clear those lines? | 02:06 |
| joanki123 | thank you very much... how often should i sudo update-manager -d? | 02:07 |
| Cyberkruz | I'm using partimage to make an image of an ntfs partition (/dev/sda1) that I am saving on a usb external drive (/dev/sdb1). I am running partimage from systemrescuecd on a flash drive. I mounted the external using mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /backup and then ran partimage. It saves to about 10%, then I get a big blue screen that says at the top "partimage: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x005468a0 ***ying used data blocks" | 02:07 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: no don't clear.. just make sure that there isn't a # at the front of the line | 02:07 |
| Cyberkruz | Anyone have any ideas? | 02:07 |
| jjshoe | what's the code name for the most current server edition ubuntu? | 02:07 |
| jjshoe | intrepid? | 02:07 |
| scunizi | yes | 02:08 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, ok done | 02:08 |
| Lord-Jynx | Anyone here know have time to help me with a video card issue? If put in my 6600GT, ubuntu 8.10+ won't boot | 02:08 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: save with ctrl+w then exit with ctrl+x.. | 02:08 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, done (i use pico btw) | 02:09 |
| jjshoe | so if I wanted to install from the net http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/20080522ubuntu23/images/netboot/mini.iso is the best way to go? | 02:09 |
| JILX2_ | any java developer here ??? | 02:09 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: pop the install cd into the drive and then type sudo aptitiude (not apt-get) | 02:09 |
| sajuuk | rgr gimme a sec | 02:09 |
| sprinkmeier | jjshoe, http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/releases/intrepid/ has a list of ISO's, netinstall not among them. does it have to be netinstall? (I know debina has one, but I don't know about ubuntu). Normal install will update form 'net if available | 02:09 |
| Flannel | joanki123: you shouldn't. | 02:09 |
| jjshoe | sprinkmeier it's not the mini.iso ? | 02:10 |
| Flannel | joanki123: In the normal process of things you'll be prompted about upgrading, but only after theyre stable, etc. | 02:10 |
| jjshoe | sprinkmeier http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/20080522ubuntu23/images/netboot/mini.iso | 02:10 |
| sprinkmeier | jjshoe, not sure where you got mini.iso. Is it debian or ubuntu? | 02:10 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: on the menu that pops up you'll see a list of catagories .. go to Tasks.. find printserver and tag it for installation. | 02:10 |
| santous | am I going to have to reinstall just to set a new groot? | 02:10 |
| santous | that seems excessive. | 02:11 |
| GeekChick| | Hey, I have a completely corrupted windows registry (to the point that the repair option in the windows install disk wont work). I am trying to mount the partition with ntfs-3g in ubuntu but I am wondering how safe is it to use the '-o force' option when transferring the files to a USB backup hard drive. | 02:11 |
| Flannel | santous: Did you pastebin it? | 02:11 |
| santous | pastebin what? | 02:11 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, ok looks weird, how do i 'find' on this? | 02:11 |
| santous | groot keeps getting set to the UUID of the disk it put it on on install | 02:11 |
| santous | The End | 02:11 |
| sprinkmeier | jjshoe, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ | 02:11 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: arrow key down to tasks and hit enter | 02:12 |
| Flannel | santous: your menu.lst with the modified groot that keeps getting overwritten? | 02:12 |
| santous | if I change it, and run update-grub, it changes it back. | 02:12 |
| Flannel | santous: I'd like to see it post change (pre update-grub) | 02:12 |
| santous | i'm just replacing what's there with root=(hd0,3) | 02:12 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, yep, it has another branch 'unrecognised tasks' | 02:12 |
| Flannel | santous: That's the wrong way to do it. | 02:12 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: yep.. go ther. | 02:12 |
| scunizi | there | 02:12 |
| santous | pre update-grub: # groot=(hd0,3) | 02:12 |
| Flannel | santous: Please pastebin it. | 02:13 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, which branch am i looking for? | 02:13 |
| santous | never mind i got it. | 02:13 |
| sprinkmeier | GeekChick|, image the disk if possible, use read-only mode | 02:13 |
| santous | adding a line jacks it up | 02:13 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: print server | 02:13 |
| santous | you have to replace the groot line, not just add a # to it. | 02:13 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: brb.. gotta check the pizza | 02:13 |
| GeekChick| | sprinkmeier, is the option '-r' or -o ro' | 02:13 |
| santous | i've never remembered having to do that before. | 02:13 |
| santous | weird. | 02:13 |
| santous | sokay, thanks, Flannel, it's good to go. | 02:13 |
| Flannel | santous: Corrct. You edit that line, and the comments tell update-grub what to write. | 02:13 |
| sprinkmeier | Geek`N`Proud, "-o ro". Creating an image (using dd_rescue or similar) is the best way to proceed, no way to munge the original if you're not messing with it :-) | 02:14 |

| Lord-Jynx | works fine in 8.04 | 02:16 |
| nomasteryoda | Lord-Jynx, should get at least the safe-mode video | 02:16 |
| sprinkmeier | helper, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI Kib == "kibi bytes", i.e. 1024 bytes rather than 1000. More accurate, but never caught on | 02:17 |

| Lord-Jynx | alternate cd installs fine as well but then does the same thing | 02:18 |
| cactusfrog | "these files should all be owned by that group you just made." | 02:18 |
| cactusfrog | what does that mean | 02:18 |
| nomasteryoda | Lord-Jynx, can switch back to... Ctrl+Alt+F1 then login and issue a sudo init 1 then choose the bottom option for graphics problems ... | 02:18 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, ok I pressed g to install and now i got a 'close up' of just the PS stuff | 02:18 |

| sprinkmeier | mejobloggs, xterm :-) | 02:22 |
| Fezzler | best way to install Ruby on Rails in 8.10? | 02:22 |
| cactusfrog | so | 02:22 |
| Flannel | sajuuk: Try using tasksel instead | 02:22 |
| cactusfrog | anyone have any ideas | 02:22 |
| scroat | fglrx isn't even working. | 02:22 |
| Guest49424 | sprinkmeier, i just want to use my other laptop to connect to the internet. How do I do this? | 02:22 |
| scunizi | Flannel: he needs an explicit line | 02:23 |
| sajuuk | Flannel, scunizi , still confused | 02:23 |
| Happy-Dude | nomasteryoda: unforuntately, it can't find the package -- but its still in the application menu | 02:23 |
| Flannel | sajuuk, scunizi: sudo tasksel, then choose print server. Which I believe is in there. | 02:23 |
| blahblahblah | I installed Adobe Flash Player. YouTube (with firefox) still doesn't want to accept that its been installed. Solution? | 02:23 |
| Guest49424 | sprinkmeier, yeah..thats my IP ADDresss after ifconfig | 02:23 |
| sprinkmeier | Guest49424, If the ADSL modem is handing out addresses then there should be no problem giving out two simultaneously. If the ISP is assigning your address, it's likely to be a static address and very unlikely to be handed out using DHCP. What is the IP address you;re trying to give up? | 02:23 |
| cactusfrog | http://pastebin.com/d33eab8de i just messed wtih that and i want to undo it | 02:23 |
| n8tuser | Guest49424 -> can you change your nick to something easier to type, something unique | 02:23 |
| nomasteryoda | Happy-Dude, the Synaptic package manger | 02:23 |
| cactusfrog | http://pastebin.com/d33eab8de i just messed around in root how do i undo it and start over | 02:23 |

| joetromondo | I did that , but in grub mode when I put find /boot/grub/stage1 it says file no found | 02:26 |
| spideryummy | n8tuser,maybe..let me see | 02:26 |
| sprinkmeier | spideryummy, right kind of cable? desktop may have gigabit (auto-sensing) whereas laptop might not (and require straight/cross-over cable). Do you get the blinkenlights on the ethernet ort indicating connection? | 02:26 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, still sitting at 0%, its not hanging is it? | 02:26 |
| cactusfrog | blahblahblah: ok type this in terminal sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree mozilla-plugin-gnash | 02:26 |
| blahblahblah | Happy-Dude: downloaded the .tar.gz, extracted and ran the install file as a terminal app as my admin user | 02:26 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: is the cdrom light on occationally? | 02:26 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, let me check | 02:27 |
| spideryummy | sprinkmeier, there is a power supply attached to the cable... | 02:27 |
| cactusfrog | ok | 02:27 |
| cactusfrog | i have a problem | 02:27 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, the server is sitting on the other side of the house XD | 02:27 |
| cactusfrog | i messsed around in root | 02:27 |
| spideryummy | and some sort of adapter...dont know why | 02:27 |
| cactusfrog | and i want to undo what i just did | 02:27 |
| cactusfrog | how do i do that | 02:27 |
| FloodBot3 | cactusfrog: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:27 |
| spideryummy | hey, i just want to switch this cable to my laptop and make it work... | 02:27 |
| cactusfrog | FloodBot: ok i wont | 02:27 |
| Gamerfuzion | can some one plz help me | 02:27 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: ah! you do like me. hiding it from the wife? | 02:27 |
| sprinkmeier | spideryummy, probably wrong cable... I was thinking of the RJ45 network cable. Are you attaching wirelessly? | 02:27 |
| spideryummy | but cant do | 02:27 |
| spideryummy | wired | 02:27 |
| spideryummy | sprinkmeier, cable works in PC1. I move the cable to laptop. Didnt work... | 02:28 |
| Happy-Dude | blahblahblah: if you got FF (or a gecko based browser) -- you coulda gotten the .deb; unless you didn't want to do that? | 02:28 |
| cactusfrog | ok i am really want to undo what i just did how do i do so!!!!!!!!!!! its starting to get anoying i payed 140 for ubantu and the IRC sucks | 02:28 |
| spideryummy | its that simple... | 02:28 |
| blahblahblah | cactusfrog: run it as root, right? ;) | 02:28 |
| Gamerfuzion | =( | 02:28 |
| spideryummy | why? | 02:28 |
| blahblahblah | Happy-Dude: the package manager doesn't seem to like the .deb | 02:28 |
| cactusfrog | blahblahblah: ya | 02:28 |
| spideryummy | it seems, that only this PC is accepted. | 02:29 |
| sprinkmeier | spideryummy, no lights? can you run "dmesg" beforre/after pluggging in the cable to see how the system reacts? | 02:29 |
| blahblahblah | cactusfrog: that's cool ;) | 02:29 |
| nomasteryoda | Happy-Dude, the best case is to use the one supplied in the repos | 02:29 |
| cactusfrog | ctl alt f1 dont ever press it | 02:29 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, nah under my dads desk :) | 02:29 |
| cactusfrog | hello | 02:29 |
| lazukars_ | How do you ssh into a webserver? | 02:29 |

| sajuuk | scunizi, btw no lights were flashing and tasksel: aptitude failed (100) | 02:29 |
| cactusfrog | i want to get rid of a group | 02:29 |
| cactusfrog | and | 02:29 |
| sprinkmeier | spideryummy, the ADSL modem has only a single port I take it. Did you run anything special on the PC (like a PPPOE daemon) to get it to work? | 02:30 |
| cactusfrog | install | 02:30 |
| blahblahblah | cactusfrog: k, so, type that in terminal, as root, press ctk alt f1 and then come in here and ask how I borked my system, right? ;) | 02:30 |
| jere-nii_ | I'm trying to install apache2 and php5 with mod_fcgid | 02:30 |
| spideryummy | guys, how can release IP | 02:30 |
| blahblahblah | brb | 02:30 |
| spideryummy | i think thats the problem? | 02:30 |
| cactusfrog | blahblahblah: no i was kidding | 02:30 |
| jere-nii_ | In terminal, I get this error: "Module php5 does not exist!" | 02:30 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: is this a pretty fresh install? | 02:30 |
| cactusfrog | blahblahblah: just type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree mozilla-plugin-gnash | 02:30 |
| cactusfrog | blahblahblah: that should fix | 02:30 |
| jere-nii_ | I'm at codebit 3 section 2, here: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-apache2-with-mod_fcgid-and-php5-on-ubuntu-8.10 | 02:30 |
| spideryummy | sprinkmeier, no | 02:30 |
| cactusfrog | blahblahblah: it | 02:30 |
| sajuuk | scunizi, nah its got some love in it, 3 months old | 02:30 |
| sprinkmeier | spideryummy, releasing the IP is most likely not your problem It seems that networking between laptop and modem isn't working (what lights on the laptop/modem ports change when you change the cable from PC to laptop?). | 02:31 |
| spideryummy | if I trasnfer this ethernet cable to laptop,..it should work..but it didnt | 02:31 |
| spideryummy | no light | 02:31 |
| spideryummy | even in pc | 02:31 |
| cactusfrog | ok i am having truble getting help basicly i want to get rid of a group i just added | 02:31 |
| jere-nii_ | now before I get this error, it says: "Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName" | 02:31 |
| blahblahblah | okay, once again, Flash has been installed. Firefox apparently doesn't get the message. | 02:31 |
| cat1205123 | Hey all! Is there a way to search for all instances of a file in a directory? For example, is there an easy way to list the locations of all the "foo.txt" files in /home? | 02:31 |
| scunizi | sajuuk: too bad.. I'd say just reinstall.. but you can use aptitude and look under the task section to see if there were any packages you missed when installing cups | 02:31 |
| sprinkmeier | spideryummy, OK... do you know if the laptop has working ethernet? i.e. does it work somewhere else? | 02:31 |
| jere-nii_ | Can anyone help me out with this? I'm trying to set up a CMS | 02:31 |
| spideryummy | of course,..,. | 02:31 |

| spideryummy | i will remove this cable now and transfer to laptop..it will not work! | 02:32 |

| spideryummy | no mess | 02:33 |

| spideryummy | even dhclient | 02:33 |
| cactusfrog | blahblahblah: see if this works | 02:33 |
| n8tuser | spideryummy -> you do this on the non working one, sudo lshw -C network and post it | 02:33 |

| sprinkmeier | spideryummy, until you can get some lights to come up when you plug in the cable I'd suspect the cable. Do you know if the PC is sgigabit? Can you try plugging the PC into the laptop (i.e. if the cable is the wrong gender for the laptop and ADSL to talk then maybe we can at least confirm basic ethernet by getting the laptop and gigabit-autoisensing PC to talk) | 02:34 |

| Prm753 | testing something, I ran firefox as root. Now my firefox settings won't save, like my home page for example. I read somewhere that I should use chown to change the .mozilla directory, but that only locked me out of the folder. Now I have the permissions back, but every time I open firefox the home page is at the ubuntu default. | 02:39 |
| sprinkmeier | cl428, boot insto single user mode and reset it. | 02:39 |
| kitche | cl428: well since ubuntu does not set a root password unless you set one yourself you will need to use a livecd and chroot into your system and issue the command passwd | 02:39 |
| guest_007 | cl428: reboot, go to boot menu, press e, find boot options press e and add "single" - w/o ". enter, press b to boot. then change password (In single mode) | 02:39 |
| sprinkmeier | Prm753, try renaming .mozilla it'll be re-created next time you start FF and should have permissions etc. correct. | 02:40 |
| cl428 | I know | 02:40 |
| kitche | hmmm I wonder if that actually works if root has a password on it | 02:40 |

| sprinkmeier | kitche, by default, yes. You can do things like set grub passwords to prevent it, but by and large if you can get to the physical media you an ownz it :-) | 02:40 |
| jsjones | joetromondo: boot with a live cd, and edit your grub menu | 02:40 |
| joetromondo | jsjones: Im trying to do that now | 02:41 |
| joetromondo | but the problem is | 02:41 |

| joetromondo | jsjones: I mean , im still with the same problem | 02:42 |
| sprinkmeier | kitche, ok, back to 'boot off live CD and mangle /etc/shadow' | 02:42 |
| phpwn | I would like to have full surround sound | 02:42 |
| joetromondo | jsjones: in grub find /grub/stage1 => File not found | 02:43 |
| phpwn | I downloaded the film Elephants Dream but it only plays in stereo in VLC or other media players | 02:43 |
| kitche | sprinkmeier: you don't even have to touch shadow for my way of repairing a lost password | 02:43 |
| jsjones | joetromondo: you could try reinstalling grub | 02:43 |
| phpwn | and only when I use OSS drivers | 02:44 |
| Happy-Dude | phpwn: think it might be a media player setting? | 02:44 |
| phpwn | i set the media players all to 5.1 mode | 02:44 |
| joetromondo | jsjones: how do I do that? | 02:44 |
| Happy-Dude | phpwn: or might you have an outdated driver? | 02:44 |
| phpwn | i downloaded the open source linux driver from Creative's site | 02:44 |
| sprinkmeier | kitche, correct. but 'chown' requires the live CD and the installed system to be the same bit-ed-ness (32 or 64). swings and roundabouts :-) | 02:44 |

| user_1 | the site is korean.. | 02:45 |
| joetromondo | jsjones: Yep, I reinstalled windows vista | 02:45 |
| sprinkmeier | phpwn, 8.10 is the current build. 9.04 is currently the 'stable/alpha' one. 8.04 is LTS (long-term support) | 02:46 |

| phpwn | has anyone had success with the X-Fi sound card in ubuntu then? | 02:46 |
| kitche | user_1: if the site requires Internet explorer then you can't use the site unless you get agent changer and sometimes that does not even work | 02:46 |
| arkady | phpwn: only with OSS4, which is slightly nonuserfriendly | 02:47 |
| phpwn | in my sound controls i see "OSS Drivers" and "ALSA Drivers" | 02:47 |
| phpwn | the OSS give me stereo sound | 02:47 |
| phpwn | but ALSA give me nothing | 02:47 |
| arkady | phpwn: well, you aren't really using OSS drivers | 02:47 |
| jsjones | joetromondo: try following this guide- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 02:48 |
| phpwn | do you know if it's possible to get surround sound with the OSS? | 02:48 |
| phpwn | oh | 02:48 |
| louiscvh | thanks plr0 | 02:48 |
| phpwn | so I have to install something different? | 02:48 |
| rdw200169 | phpwn, yeah, like arkady said, there really is no OSS | 02:48 |
| rdw200169 | phpwn, its all asla | 02:48 |
| arkady | rdw200169: there is no OSS /in Ubuntu/ | 02:48 |

| arkady | phpwn: rdw200169: there really is an OSS, and it's available but as a separate deb. You don't want to use pulse with OSS4 | 02:49 |
| phpwn | I'm not quite sure, i see it in the list as well | 02:49 |
| joetromondo | jsjones: But like I said, its returnning File not found | 02:49 |

| blahblah1lah | sprinkmeier: not to my knowledge. if it's not a default in firefox then no | 02:50 |
| arkady | kitche: it has alsa's OSS emulation layer, which, to tell the truth, is junk | 02:50 |
| phpwn | sorry, i have no idea what the terms Pulseaudio, Canonical, etc do for me in my situation :( | 02:50 |
| blahblah1lah | and javascript and java are enabled in FireFox | 02:50 |
| kitche | arkady: hmm that's only if you use alsa which ubuntu does not use by default | 02:50 |
| phpwn | I've seen the word Pulseaudio somewhere in the sound setup | 02:50 |
| phpwn | but not sure if i'm running it, or what | 02:51 |
| rdw200169 | phpwn, ok, try this in the terminal: ps -AF | grep pulse | 02:51 |
| arkady | kitche: err, Ubuntu DOES use alsa | 02:51 |
| sprinkmeier | blahblah1lah, can you try a different size (like the adobe test-flash site) to confirm/deny that flash is working? | 02:51 |
| phpwn | ok | 02:51 |
| kitche | arkady: hmm last tiem I checked everything is set to use pulseaudio by default | 02:51 |
| blahblah1lah | sure. link please? | 02:51 |
| Awsoonn_ | How do I set up my bluetooth headset? | 02:51 |
| blahblah1lah | i can google it actually | 02:51 |
| arkady | I'm not saying OSS4 is a good idea, just that if it's the only thing that works then it has to be better | 02:52 |
| rdw200169 | phpwn, it *should* mention that the pulseaudio daemon is running, if that is the case, install the pulseaudio taskbar applet | 02:52 |
| Pelo | Awsoonn_, I beleive there is a bleutooth gui in the system menu, if not , check in synaptic for one | 02:52 |
| arkady | kitche: yes, but pulseaudio is another layer in between | 02:52 |
| sprinkmeier | blahblah1lah, http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ should do it | 02:52 |
| Pelo | do we have a release date for jaunty or is it too soon to ask ? | 02:52 |

| Happy-Dude | Pelo: apr--- beat me to it | 02:53 |
| kitche | arkady: ummm ok if you say so since pulseaudio is not another layer between alsa and the system | 02:53 |
| blahblah1lah | heh, it wants me to install sockwave, flashplayer and enable javascript. | 02:53 |
| joetromondo | jsjones: I dont have any other linux live cds | 02:53 |
| blahblah1lah | I already installed flashplayer and I know JScript is enabled | 02:53 |
| sdMark | I love this OS..sorry, I'm just a tiny User. | 02:53 |
| arkady | kitche: pulseaudio depends on alsa | 02:53 |
| kitche | Pelo: why not check the #ubuntu+1 channel and see? | 02:53 |
| arkady | kitche: it does other stuff like RTP streaming, etc, but needs alsa to handle the local sound card | 02:54 |
| sprinkmeier | blahblah1lah, if adobe can't find flash then youtube won't either.... check FF options to make sure flash is enabled? | 02:54 |
| jsjones | joetromondo: You can use an "Alternate Install CD" instead of a "Live CD" | 02:54 |
| rdw200169 | yeah, if you check the pulseaudio website, they describe in detail how it works. in ubuntu, it uses alsa as the link to the soundcard | 02:54 |

| sajuuk_ | scunizi, still there? | 03:00 |
| sprinkmeier | blahblah1lah, did you install flash as root (i.e. is it available for everyone?) does it work from another account? Are you going through some sort of proxy/.firewall/filter that might be disabling flash? | 03:01 |
| needhelp | blahblah1lah: could not find it there | 03:01 |
| scunizi | sajuuk_: yep | 03:02 |
| blahblah1lah | yes I installed as root. I don't have another account to test with at the moment. no proxy or firewall. This has happened before, even after updateing Ubuntu after install | 03:02 |

| crunchbang | Anyone installed 8.10 on their PPC? Get wifi working? | 03:06 |
| sprinkmeier | blahblah1lah, the 'main admin' account is just art of the admin group, which allows sudo to run and configure things. otherwise it's the same as a 'normal' account. I'd suggest switching users just in case something is messed up in your settings (maybe old pages are cached, maybe there's an add-on you, whatever). 8.04 does not have a guest login by default so you might have to create a junk account to test this. | 03:06 |

| Keal | bbl i am going to the cafe | 03:16 |
| Keal | btw i found 3 glitches in ubuntu | 03:17 |
| gnoll | hi all | 03:17 |
| Keal | one glitch is the skin has odd lines on the screen after i come out of hibernate, i need to see if it is repeatable | 03:17 |
| Keal | changing to skin to something else and back gets rid of these lines | 03:17 |
| Keal | and i successfully took a single screenshot | 03:17 |
| Keal | i should have taken more though :/ | 03:18 |
| blahblah1lah | sprinkmeier: it doesn't even work under another user account. heh, some as-is package :P | 03:18 |
| scroat | is this the dir with the kernel source code ? /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-11 | 03:18 |
| Keal | it is either a one-time glitch due to last update i did then coming out of hibernate after or it repeats | 03:18 |
| blahblah1lah | I could try updating ubuntu AGAIN..but... i just did that today. so I don't see how that would fix it. there has been problems with adobe flash player in the past, as documented on more than one page | 03:18 |
| Keal | the other glitch is the vol up/dn buttons endlessly repeat on a compaq presario r4025us with ubuntu 8.10 amd64 | 03:19 |
| tuxtox | is there a terminal command to mount a .cdi file? | 03:19 |
| Keal | i haven't tested if the 247 updates fixed this yet though | 03:19 |
| gnoll | bye, good night | 03:19 |
| michalski-bj | s3a: thats to modify pdfs...I just need to fill in a form | 03:20 |
| Keal | the vol up/dn endlessly repeateding when pressed makes gnome not work with input other than mouse wheel and left click | 03:20 |
| michalski-bj | s3a: and it wont let me use the checkboxes on the form | 03:20 |
| Keal | also breaks pop down menus | 03:20 |

| blahblah1lah | worst distrib of linux EVAR heh | 03:20 |

| Keal | worst dist ever was ubuntu 8.04 | 03:21 |

| Keal | i forget what the third major glitch i found was | 03:22 |

| dotch | Hi, im running intrepid with all the updates installed but i am unable to successfully configure the fingerprint reader on my thinkpad with thinkfinger tools, ive hit a wall when i try to register myself as a user of the device i get "Two output paths specified, but you may only specify one: --add-user " any help highly appreciated. | 03:41 |
| soreau | dotch: What gives you that output? | 03:42 |
| dotch | soreau, the terminal command "tf-tool --add-user $dotch" from "ThinkFinger 0.3 (http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/) | 03:44 |
| s3a | michalski-bj: ubuntu 8.10 has a bug that u cant write unless u disable "use xinput" or something like that | 03:44 |

| p1r0 | bye! | 03:44 |
| soreau | dotch: What does 'echo $dotch' say? | 03:45 |
| soreau | It's should probably be either $LOGNAME or dotch | 03:45 |
| soreau | not $dotch | 03:45 |

| aclonedsheep | hey i have to isntall a 32bit version of windows...how can I do so without having it overwrite gimp? | 03:48 |
| aclonedsheep | and integrate it into gimp? | 03:48 |
| michalski-bj | s3a: ok I disabled xinput and now its marking all over the document instead of checking the boxes(you click and fills in checkmark instantly) | 03:48 |
| michalski-bj | s3a: nonethe less I installed adobe pdf viewer for linux | 03:49 |
| michalski-bj | s3a: and now it works fine, thanks for the help | 03:49 |
| MHz128 | Anyone know how to download RTMP streaming video? Like the ones found at cbc.ca | 03:49 |
| joanki123 | fyi, there was nothing to update/upgrade - in the upgrading to 8.04, it did all that for me | 03:49 |
| aclonedsheep | will dosflash or jungleflash work w/ intel p45 chipset? | 03:49 |
| dotch | soreau, "echo $dotch" gets me a blank space and the normal looking terminal for entering commands ie "dotch@dotch-laptop:~$" when I use "dotch" without the "$", I get Mode undefined. | 03:49 |
| dotch | Usage: tf-tool [--acquire | --verify] [--verbose] [bir_file] | 03:50 |
| dotch | where --verbose and bir_file are optional. | 03:50 |
| dotch | --verbose defaults to unspecified | 03:50 |
| dotch | bir_file defaults to ~/.thinkfinger.bir. | 03:50 |

| jsjones | How can I quickly switch between No Visual effects and Extra Visual effects? | 03:50 |
| soreau | jsjones: With fusion-icon | 03:50 |

| soreau | dotch: As user, try: tf-tool --add-user $LOGNAME | 03:51 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | hey guys | 03:54 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | just a quick question | 03:54 |
| Deodorant | lolwut? | 03:54 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | out of curiosity, how often do some of the packages on synaptic get updated to the latest release? | 03:54 |
| Deodorant | this is the most dead i've seen this channel | 03:54 |
| dotch | soreau, with "tf-tool --add-user $LOGNAME" I'm getting the same outpus as before ie, Two output paths specified, but you may only specify one... | 03:55 |
| Deodorant | i suppose most are out partying tonight | 03:55 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | like transmission, on synaptic its at 1.34 but on the website theyve already released 1.5 | 03:55 |
| soreau | dotch: It must be a bug in tf-tool then | 03:55 |
| lstarnes | ohletmeinnowjesu: generally, with every release of ubuntu | 03:55 |
| lstarnes | ohletmeinnowjesu: packages do regularly recieve security updates and bug fixes | 03:55 |
| dotch | soreau, looks like ill have to live without the fingerprint reader for a while then... | 03:56 |
| soreau | ohletmeinnowjesu: Usually the latest 'stable' versions of project packages get packaged for ubuntu some time before release | 03:56 |
| dotch | thank you for your assistance soreau! | 03:56 |
| soreau | dotch: Contact the devs and file a bug report | 03:56 |
| smotchkkiss | good FTP package that support SFTP? | 03:56 |

| b1n42y | is NM supposed to manage connections on 8.10 server? | 03:57 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | soreau: im on intrepid, and isnt the latest release of ubuntu jaunty; How do I check what version of a given package is bundled with the newer ubuntu release? | 03:57 |
| job | Can someone show me the way to make my soundcard optical/surroundsound output work? The stereo output works but not the surround output. Is there a "how to" on this? Thanks | 03:57 |
| b1n42y | !surround | 03:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about surround | 03:57 |
| tritium | smotchkkiss: nautilus support sftp. So does gftp. | 03:58 |
| job | b1n4y, yes surround | 03:58 |
| soreau | ohletmeinnowjesu: You can go to packages.ubuntu.com I guess | 03:58 |
| Flipo | Hello, I am trying to use init.d to launch a python server. So far, I changed the init.d skeleton, if I launch the service manually in init.d it works fine, but at startup it doesn't load, any ideas ? | 03:58 |
| zeitsofa | tritium: gftp supports sftp? thats new? i think it dosn't. | 03:58 |
| tritium | ohletmeinnowjesu: jaunty is not a stable release yet. You should not try to pull in packages from jaunty into intrepid. | 03:59 |
| smotchkkiss | tritium: thanks | 03:59 |
| smotchkkiss | tritium: which is easiest to setup? | 03:59 |
| tritium | zeitsofa: no, it's not new. I haven't used it in years. | 03:59 |
| tritium | smotchkkiss: nautilus is installed by default. Try that first before installing gftp. | 03:59 |
| b1n42y | job: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound | 03:59 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | tritium: ok | 03:59 |
| job | b1n42y, thanks will try | 03:59 |
| soreau | ! jaunty | ohletmeinnowjesu | 03:59 |

| anom01y | is there any command that will simulate crtl alt f7 user switching ?? | 03:59 |
| smotchkkiss | tritium: oh i should've specified. i'm running ubuntu server. i meant SFTP server (not client) | 04:00 |
| zeitsofa | Flipo: update-rc.d $yourscript defaults << you need | 04:00 |
| anom01y | so I type the command and it switches users | 04:00 |
| smotchkkiss | i'm looking for easiest setup FTP server | 04:00 |
| tritium | smotchkkiss: ah, all you need for an sftp server is to install openssh-server, or the ssh metapackage. | 04:00 |
| Flipo | zeitsofa: I did tat also | 04:00 |
| smotchkkiss | tritium: ssh metapackage? | 04:00 |
| tritium | smotchkkiss: yes, ssh depends on openssh-server and openssh-client. | 04:00 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | soreau: oh sorry, was under the (wrong)impression that jaunty was out | 04:00 |
| smotchkkiss | tritium: i have open-ssh setup, i'm connected via ssh right now :) | 04:01 |
| tritium | smotchkkiss: you already have the client installed, so installing openssh-server would be sufficient. | 04:01 |
| zeitsofa | tritium: i'm sorry sftp != sftpes. it is right simple sftp can use with gftp. | 04:01 |
| soreau | ohletmeinnowjesu: Not till April '09 hence 9.04 :) | 04:01 |
| tritium | zeitsofa: ok | 04:01 |
| zeitsofa | Flipo: did you can see the script into the rc.XY folders? | 04:02 |
| tritium | ohletmeinnowjesu: jaunty is at the 6th alpha release at this poitn | 04:02 |
| tritium | point* | 04:02 |
| Flipo | zeitsofa: yes the scripts are there | 04:02 |
| smotchkkiss | what port does SFTP use? | 04:02 |
| tritium | smotchkkiss: 22 | 04:02 |
| smotchkkiss | tritium: this is awesome. my login just works with the openssh-server? | 04:03 |
| tritium | smotchkkiss: hmm? | 04:03 |
| smotchkkiss | i'm using the same login for my ssh connection and it's working in my ftp client :) | 04:04 |
| zeitsofa | Flipo: and you can start it with /etc/init.d/yourscript start ? | 04:04 |
| smotchkkiss | tritium: that's really cool | 04:04 |
| smotchkkiss | tritium: no extra setup req'd | 04:04 |
| Flipo | zeitsofa: yes | 04:04 |
| tritium | smotchkkiss: correct. | 04:04 |
| smotchkkiss | tritium: thanks! | 04:04 |
| tritium | No problem. | 04:04 |
| zeitsofa | Flipo: confuse :/ | 04:04 |
| Flipo | zeitsofa: it needs the network so I require $networking | 04:04 |
| smotchkkiss | now is there anyone here that can point me to a good beginner's resource for learning how to use git? | 04:05 |
| tritium | smotchkkiss: you can install the documentation via "sudo apt-get install git-doc" | 04:05 |
| zeitsofa | Flipo: and boot process try to start your script after networking? | 04:06 |
| tritium | !git | smotchkkiss, otherwise read this: | 04:06 |
| ubottu | smotchkkiss, otherwise read this:: Git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) | 04:06 |
| Flipo | zeitsofa: in what log can I see that (I searched the logs but couldn't find traces of my script) | 04:06 |
| zeitsofa | Flipo: sorry, but i don't know what you can do for | 04:08 |
| b1n42y | is NM supposed to manage connections on 8.10 server? | 04:10 |
| tritium | b1n42y: server installs do not install a desktop environment, so I would suspect not. | 04:12 |
| b1n42y | tritium: ahh ok thanks | 04:12 |
| jujumon | hi | 04:12 |
| tritium | b1n42y: if you decided to install a desktop, then you could easily make it do so, however | 04:12 |
| jujumon | question | 04:12 |
| jujumon | how do i upgrade to the 686 kernel | 04:12 |
| jujumon | i tried sudo apt-get install linux-686 | 04:13 |
| b1n42y | tritium: so id need to set that up from within NM ? | 04:13 |
| jujumon | i am using intrepid | 04:13 |
| blackest_knight1 | depends where you get your packages from but in general a version of packages is frozen at some point to make the release "stable" | 04:13 |
| tritium | b1n42y: set which up? | 04:13 |
| b1n42y | tritium: Network manager | 04:14 |
| Tamnakz | Can anyone help me get a Dell XPS integrated webcam working? | 04:14 |
| bonez46 | if I take a sata drive.. running etch out of a system with Pentium II, 32 bit system and put it in a newer system with a 64 bit amd cpu. would that create EXT4 errors? Is that possible? | 04:14 |
| jujumon | does anyone know? | 04:14 |
| === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ | ||
| tritium | b1n42y: you're asking if you'd need to setup network manager within network manager. I don't understand. | 04:15 |
| tritium | jujumon: there is no 686 kernel | 04:15 |
| jujumon | did there used to be | 04:15 |
| b1n42y | tritium: if you decided to install a desktop, then you could easily make it do so, however > so how do i do that | 04:15 |
| jujumon | i need to figure out a good way to speed this up | 04:15 |
| tritium | jujumon: many releases ago, but the return on investment wasn't significant enough to warrant continuing to offer it | 04:16 |
| blackest_knight1 | how much ram you got jujumon ? | 04:16 |
| codyxx | Okay, I am in dire need of some help. | 04:16 |
| sebsebseb | codyxx: with what? | 04:16 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | 04:16 |
| 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. :-) | 04:16 |
| codyxx | Essentially, when logging in, I get this message | 04:16 |
| jujumon | i think 1 gb | 04:16 |
| jujumon | at least 1 gb | 04:16 |
| Tamnakz | Can anyone help me get a webcam working on a Dell XPS? | 04:16 |
| sebsebseb | !webcam | 04:17 |
| tritium | b1n42y: if you want gnome, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. kubuntu-desktop for KDE, and xubuntu-desktop for xfce. | 04:17 |
| ubottu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 04:17 |
| blackest_knight1 | that should be plenty whats slow ? | 04:17 |
| bonez46 | anyone? moving a sata drive, with ubuntu installed from one system to another? | 04:17 |
| eighthr | is there a download for ghamachi that works....???.... | 04:17 |
| jujumon | xubuntu is a bit faster for me | 04:17 |
| morph3us | hi.. someone here have a broadcom wireless card? i have intrepid and can't get the f*cking card work well.. | 04:17 |
| Tamnakz | ubottu thank you! | 04:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about thank you! | 04:17 |
| jujumon | but firefox is still really slow and freezes a lot | 04:17 |
| codyxx | "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If You have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace. Try loggging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem." | 04:17 |
| sebsebseb | Tamnakz: yeah, but I triggered it | 04:17 |
| blackest_knight1 | should be ok i killed a server the other day shifted the drives fine apart from grub | 04:17 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | 04:17 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:17 |
| jujumon | and other apps too | 04:17 |
| RussM_ | bonez46, Should work OK, I've moved drives before. | 04:17 |
| codyxx | Okay, so I tried logging in with failsafe gnome, and I cannot. | 04:17 |
| mezquitale | anyone here ever synchronized a windows mobile 5 device with their ubuntu distro??? | 04:18 |
| blackest_knight1 | codyxx try boot fail safe and apt-get clean then try again | 04:18 |
| RussM_ | bonez46, Though you mentioned ext4, I have no idea about that. Still using ext3, not planning on moving up for a bit. | 04:18 |
| codyxx | okay | 04:18 |
| gui | which distro is ubuntu based on? | 04:19 |
| codyxx | Would I just boot fail safe with grub | 04:19 |
| RussM_ | gui, debian | 04:19 |
| sebsebseb | !Debian | gui | 04:19 |
| ubottu | gui: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 04:19 |
| blackest_knight1 | probably is hd space so apt-get clean just clears the package cache | 04:19 |
| b1n42y | tritium: given my question was is NM supposed to control network connections i thought it was implied that i had already installed ubuntu-desktop | 04:19 |
| lstarnes | gui: specifically, debian's unstable branch | 04:19 |
| codyxx | I have a 250gb hard drive. | 04:19 |
| gui | so which distro is debian based on or is it an original one? | 04:20 |
| mejobloggs | when i installed ubuntu server I didn't have it plugged into network. When i got to the 'configure network' I said i'd configure it later. So... now that it's installed, how do I configure the network? | 04:20 |
| codyxx | And I have enough disk space. I had 190gb of disk space free. | 04:20 |
| lstarnes | gui: debian is more or less original | 04:20 |
| mezquitale | anyone here ever synchronized a windows mobile 5 device with their ubuntu distro?? i want to synchronize my phone with my distro so i wont have to boot up to redmond | 04:20 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Debian is one of the first Linux distros | 04:20 |
| gui | so which is better, ubuntu or debian? | 04:20 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Ubuntu for new users | 04:20 |
| blackest_knight1 | hmm ok i'm out of ideas | 04:20 |
| lstarnes | gui: it largely depends on personal preference | 04:20 |
| tritium | b1n42y: it was not, as you asked about server installs, for which desktop environments are not default | 04:20 |
| mezquitale | gui, it all depends, really, if youre a newbie i HIGHLY recommend ubuntu | 04:21 |
| bonez46 | RussM_: that's just it. I haven't moved up.. the drive in question is running 8.10 desktop, and I don't know anything about ext4 either.. | 04:21 |
| gui | so what does debian has that is not found in debian? | 04:21 |
| gui | in ubuntu* | 04:21 |
| zeitsofa | mezquitale: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/WindowsMobile | 04:21 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: ubuntu is better for a desktop-system, because of the shorter release-times and the newer software. its based on debian unstable. Debian is better for servers, because its using very stable software. ubuntu is easier to handle, because of some nice guis (all my opinion) | 04:22 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Debian is free and open source software by default, and makes it harder to get closed source software such as the Flash plugin, than Ubuntu does | 04:22 |
| b1n42y | tritium: so now you know, my bad ... , how do i solve this | 04:22 |
| tritium | b1n42y: so, if you have ubuntu-desktop installed, you have the choice of configuring network-manager, or configuring your interfaces manually in /etc/network/interfaces | 04:22 |
| gui | i see | 04:22 |
| gui | thanks | 04:22 |
| mezquitale | zeitsofa, thanks, all those docs are old, using intrepid, i just wanted to know if there was anyone here who has synchronized their wm5 device with their distro | 04:22 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Debian also has it's own version of FIrefox under it's own name, with a differnet logo, because of some stupiditity | 04:22 |
| codyxx | blackest_knight1: Would you like to see the ~/.xession-errors file I get after the prompt? | 04:22 |
| mezquitale | zeitsofa, in installing all the utils that i need however it's been quite a few minutes installing triggers for python-support | 04:23 |
| b1n42y | tritium: well my network works so configs are fine, just would like to have it setup in NM, ive tried adding wired connection, but doesnt seem to work | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Debian is also apparantly better for servers, than Ubuntu | 04:24 |
| zeitsofa | mezquitale: it works fine for me. i used this 2 month ago | 04:24 |
| codyxx | "/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... Line: 2 /etc/profile: 26 id: not found Line 3: "etc/gdm/Xsession: Executing /usr/bin/gnome-session failed, exec: 20 x-terminal-emulator: not found | 04:24 |
| gui | so does apt-get install, installs any opensource software i can think of? | 04:24 |
| sebsebseb | gui: not everything | 04:24 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: no | 04:24 |
| gui | what's the limit? | 04:24 |
| codyxx | gui: anything in the repositories | 04:25 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: just precompiled packages, but that a very much | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | gui: a few thousand packages are available, but a lot is also not availalbe | 04:25 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: the standard-software you will find in the different repos | 04:25 |
| mezquitale | zeitsofa, are you using intrepid? | 04:25 |
| gui | so can i install any software found on any other distro's repos than ubuntu? | 04:25 |
| tritium | b1n42y: I'm not a big fan of NM, myself, actually. | 04:25 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: no | 04:25 |
| zeitsofa | mezquitale: yes i did | 04:25 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: just the ubuntu repos for the correct-version | 04:26 |
| b1n42y | tritium: same i use wicd on my laptop | 04:26 |
| mezquitale | zeitsofa, you think it'll work with WM6? | 04:26 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: but trust me there are many many many packages inside the ubuntu-repos | 04:26 |
| tritium | b1n42y: cool. So, I may not be the best person to advise you on configuring NM, if that's your intent. | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | gui: ,but for example for a later version of Wine found in the Ubuntu repo, you can add the www.winehq.org ubuntu repo | 04:26 |
| b1n42y | tritium: thanks | 04:27 |
| gui | but there are alot of softwares that i need to use that aren't just in ubuntu's repos | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | gui: somesites offer repos that can be added for Ubuntu, but you should be careful that it's from a good source, because they could have maybe done something malicious to the package | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | gui: such as? | 04:27 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: which for example? | 04:27 |
| gui | like kismet, maltego | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | gui: whatever those are | 04:28 |
| gui | p0f | 04:28 |
| bonez46 | how does one safely move a drive running ubuntu from 32 bit system to a 64 bit system? should that just work, or what might have to be done to grub to make it work? | 04:28 |
| tritium | gui: kismet is in the repos | 04:28 |
| tritium | !info kismet | 04:28 |

| Milky_Way | gui: yes | 04:29 |

| === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball | ||
| gui | what's ose.edition | 04:30 |
| sebsebseb | gui: yes, but only the OSE version, and so if you want USB suppourt you need to get the binary from their site http://www.virtualbox.org | 04:30 |
| tritium | gui: open-source edition | 04:30 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: open-source without usb-support | 04:30 |

| gui | videos or only music? | 04:31 |
| sebsebseb | gui: banshee is a very nice music and video player. the 8.10 version is good the 8.04 version sucks | 04:31 |
| mercutio22 | DIFH-iceroot> I know, it used to work here. All of a sudden it does not anylonger | 04:31 |
| gui | but my ipod is apple does it handle it too? | 04:31 |

| DIFH-iceroot | mercutio22: hm | 04:32 |
| sebsebseb | gui: syncing or whatever | 04:32 |
| tritium | gui: all iPods are Apple products | 04:32 |
| gui | so some ipods are creative and sony and others | 04:32 |
| sebsebseb | tritium: lier you got one made by Microsoft :D | 04:32 |
| mezquitale | zeitsofa, i dont read german, thank you very much for the info though, i know it can be done, ive had problems with my PPC-6700 device but now Im half way there, i can see the device and files in it, just finished installing the libraries,hopefully it'll work | 04:32 |
| DIFH-iceroot | tritium: not the asia/taiwan "ipods" :) | 04:32 |
| Candrian | 0 | 04:32 |
| gui | US ones i guess | 04:32 |
| b1n42y | hwo do i find mac address of my network card? | 04:33 |
| tritium | DIFH-iceroot: ok, all *legal* ones. | 04:33 |
| DIFH-iceroot | b1n42y: ifconfig | 04:33 |
| DIFH-iceroot | tritium: ok :) | 04:33 |
| gui | so are there any applications that work like msn with voip and webcam support? | 04:33 |
| Milky_Way | DIFH-iceroot: are you saying other companies make ipods? as in, the exact name? sure there are rip offs like zune and whatever.. | 04:33 |
| Milky_Way | gui: skype | 04:33 |
| tritium | gui: ekiga | 04:33 |
| mercutio22 | DIFH-iceroot> any clues what could have triggered this? | 04:33 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Milky_Way: not companies, but pirates | 04:33 |
| Milky_Way | DIFH-iceroot: oh so black market... meh | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | gui: yeah and I know how you can phone loads of countires for free :d and so SKype heh | 04:34 |
| gui | what about doing a fake cam like "fakecams" or "splitcam"? | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Pidgin is going to have web cam suppourt soon I think, that's multi protocall network | 04:34 |
| zeitsofa | mezquitale: i don't know anything about your ppc-6700. have this device a wlan card you can try http://www.finchsync.com | 04:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | mercutio22: i dont know, because i am german, i am not using stuff like à so i dnt knw how to fix it, just works with my default kile | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | gui: AMSN and Kmess do web cam | 04:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Milky_Way: yes | 04:34 |
| tritium | sebsebseb: really? | 04:34 |
| gui | sebsebseb: how can you phone for free? | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | tritium: yep I think Pidgin will have it soon | 04:34 |
| mercutio22 | DIFH-iceroot> alright... thanks | 04:34 |
| gui | i think amsn doesn't do cam support | 04:34 |
| tritium | sebsebseb: interesting. I thought the devs didn't have any plans for video support. | 04:34 |
| tritium | gui: apparently it does, actually | 04:35 |
| gui | that's very great then | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | gui: http://www.voipcheap.com and then set it up with a Linux program or whatever their site says. there program is Windows only | 04:35 |
| gui | so is there a way to capture videos from webcams? | 04:35 |
| tritium | gui: look at cheese. | 04:35 |
| baz12 | do you think it helps the uptake of linux for new users with frequent (e.g. 6 months or less) and often broken releases becuase new users think thay have to keep up with it and can get a bad experience? | 04:35 |
| Milky_Way | what is the default fixed width font for apperances? (IE: font for terminal) | 04:35 |
| gui | and i couldn't find snort in the repos? | 04:36 |
| tritium | gui: http://projects.gnome.org/cheese/ | 04:36 |
| bazhang | baz12, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | gui: so I just laugh at SKype these days, but someone I told about that one, still wanted Skype in Ubuntu | 04:36 |
| tritium | !info snort | 04:36 |
| ubottu | snort (source: snort): flexible Network Intrusion Detection System. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.7.0-19ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 453 kB, installed size 1040 kB | 04:36 |
| tritium | gui ^^ | 04:36 |
| mezquitale | zeitsofa, thanks, i think ill try the other links you gave me first, im working on it right now | 04:36 |
| SomePriest | I installed totem-xine. When I play DVDs they are very slow, like the PC can't push out a fast enough frame-rate, and the video quality is pretty bad (looks grainy). Is there a better solution to playing DVDs then totem-xine? | 04:36 |
| baz12 | bazhang: ok | 04:36 |
| tritium | gui: I would guess that you've not enabled the universe or multiverse repositories. You need those to access several thousand more packages. | 04:36 |
| |Kamen| | I'm looking to pick up a usb bluetooth adapter, and all the ones I see say they support xp/vista. what are my chances of ubuntu knowing what to do with the thing when I plug it in? | 04:36 |
| DIFH-iceroot | SomePriest: vlc + libdvdcss2 | 04:37 |
| SomePriest | DIFH-iceroot, It produces a sharp image? And its not choppy? | 04:37 |
| gui | ok what about enlightment i couldn't find that too? | 04:37 |
| DIFH-iceroot | SomePriest: best video player in the world :) | 04:37 |
| zeitsofa | mezquitale: http://www.j-zero.de/blog/ubuntu-vs-windows-mobile-6-79.html this is the german howto that worked for me. i think translator can help you, if the other dosn't work for you. | 04:37 |
| tritium | gui: that's also available | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | gui: yes you can have enlightment, but it needs some configuring to be any good in Ubuntu | 04:38 |
| DIFH-iceroot | SomePriest: i dont have problems with bad image quality | 04:38 |
| SomePriest | DIFH-iceroot, You help develop it do you? ;) | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | gui: you can get Elive though :d | 04:38 |
| DIFH-iceroot | SomePriest: no, just a vlc-fan | 04:38 |
| Nalf | |Kamen|, it should work with little to know setup. ^_^ | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Elive already configured live CD for it | 04:38 |
| tritium | gui: please enable the universe and multiverse repos, and update your package listings | 04:38 |
| gui | is that better than enlightnment? | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Elive uses enlightment, but it's already been set it up properly for it, I still need to try it | 04:38 |
| gui | is there any newer ubuntus than 9.0.4 alpha? | 04:39 |
| gui | i got the jaunty one | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | gui: no | 04:39 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: no | 04:39 |
| gui | is that the newest? | 04:39 |
| b1n42y | how do i restart my network | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | jaunty is in development | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | it has bugs | 04:39 |
| exodus_ms | !distro | 04:39 |
| ubottu | Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) | 04:39 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: no, 8.10 is the newest stable one | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | gui: you shoudn't really have jaunty since your new to Ubuntu | 04:39 |
| gui | but i thought i should get the latest | 04:40 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: no, the newest is nt always the best | 04:40 |
| DIFH-iceroot | not | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | gui: 8.10 is the latest stable. 9.04 will be out properly on like April 23rd | 04:40 |
| SomePriest | When I first installed ubuntu, a warning told me fglrx drivers were available, but were proprietary. I chose to install them. The intaller hung for ages, didn't even download them. So I cancelled it. Now that message saying those drivers are available is missing. How do I reopen that dialog? | 04:40 |
| exodus_ms | lts is the best | 04:40 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: if you like a stable system with long support, use ubuntu 8.04 hardy | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | gui: which one do you have installed? 8.10 or 9.04? | 04:40 |
| SomePriest | (it was a widget that appeared at the top right of my screen, but is no longer there) | 04:41 |
| gui | it's not installed really i just downloaded it and tried it on virtual box | 04:41 |
| mezquitale | zeitsofa, thanks! I'll try that later on, right now i have wm5 but ill upgrade to wm6 once i figure out how to synchronize my phone with my ubuntu distro | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | gui: your on XP? | 04:41 |
| gui | ya | 04:41 |
| |Kamen| | Nalf: the one I am thinking of is here: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12696 (its for a laptop) | 04:41 |
| gui | but 9.0.4 takes a huge amount of time to install | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | gui: 9.04 is development version. and the release you have is for people that want to test it early | 04:42 |
| gui | i installed mandriva with tones of packages and it went much faster | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | gui: and developers of course | 04:42 |
| nomasteryoda | gui, sidux takes 5 minutes | 04:42 |
| nomasteryoda | to compare | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | nomasteryoda: sidux :d still got to try that | 04:42 |
| gui | what about kubuntu? | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Ubuntu takes about 15 minutes or so to install | 04:42 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: its ubuntu with kde | 04:43 |
| nomasteryoda | gui, its good | 04:43 |
| tritium | gui: ubuntu installs are quite quick, actually | 04:43 |
| SomePriest | DIFH-iceroot, vlc is a bit better, not brilliant either though. Maybe the issue is that I'm watching a friends webcam in skype. Perhaps its too much processor lag, I guess. (never had this problem under windows :( | 04:43 |
| gui | ya but not the one i got | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | gui: yeah, but in 8.10 can only really have KDE4, but KDE3 is nice to :) and not sure about having both KDE3 and 4 in KDE | 04:43 |
| Nalf | |Kamen|, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup#Bluetooth%20support%20for%20Ubuntu%207.04%20and%20earlier just look over the related pages and stuff. | 04:43 |
| nomasteryoda | with 9.04... not 8.10 | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | gui: so I would virtual machine hardy 8.04 for KDE3 | 04:43 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: i like kde more then gnome, but kubuntu is not a very good kde-implementation just as suse (as kde-implementation | 04:43 |
| Nalf | |Kamen|, I can't give you a 100%, unfortunately. | 04:43 |
| cr4z3d | so i've accidently removed my vmlinuz/kernel.img files from /boot. is there a way i can restore these without reinstalling? | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | DIFH-iceroot: KDE4 I don't like that much, KDE3 was nice, but I stuck to Gnome | 04:44 |
| needhelp | Hello, How can I disable SCIM ? It keeps switching to chinese (or other odd language) input characters because I always accidently touches some hotkeys. It gets annoying always having to switch back... | 04:44 |
| DIFH-iceroot | SomePriest: installed correct video-driver? which process is using high-cpu usage? (top) | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | DIFH-iceroot: just some of the apps got quite a bit better in KDE4 | 04:44 |
| tritium | cr4z3d: reinstall the kernel-image package that it/they belonged to | 04:44 |
| nomasteryoda | cr4z3d, you can install the kernel again | 04:44 |
| nomasteryoda | like tritium said | 04:44 |
| SomePriest | DIFH-iceroot, Skype is using 43%, its the highest by a long shot. | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | gui: ok you got a lot to learn, and yes trying stuff out in XP in a virtual machine is a good way to try, but then you should put stuff on for real on your hard disk later on | 04:44 |
| DIFH-iceroot | sebsebseb: i was using kde 4.0 and then i turned back to 3.5.9, never has seen the new (working) version of kde 4(.2) | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | gui: using partitining not wubi | 04:45 |
| === CoJaBo__ is now known as CoJaBo | ||
| DIFH-iceroot | SomePriest: hm 43% is hard i think | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | DIFH-iceroot: 4.2 and 4.1 seem the same to me, but I never did do a proper look around | 04:45 |
| gui | i have mandriva on my hdd now | 04:45 |
| SomePriest | DIFH-iceroot, Driver is fglrx (I'm using a Radeon 8500xt) | 04:45 |
| gui | and use backtrack on VM | 04:45 |
| Nalf | Is there a timestamp option somehwere in xchat? o.o | 04:45 |
| DIFH-iceroot | sebsebseb: with the new suse i will have a look at kde 4.x again | 04:45 |
| skierKyle | Hi, i am trying to remove the ubuntu icon to the left of the menu bar, does anybody know how? | 04:45 |
| gui | but iam more into windows but i love linux | 04:45 |
| cr4z3d | tritium: what's the best way to do this? it was on my eeepc using "easy peasey" formerly ubuntu eee. i have a live usb i can boot into but what kind of steps would be required to fix this | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Mandriva might be a nice distro, but it is a total noobs distro for people from Windows, by what I have heard etc. | 04:46 |
| gui | i don't recommend anybody to use it | 04:46 |
| gui | it's totally awful | 04:46 |
| exodus_ms | skierKyle, its not supposed to be easy | 04:46 |
| gui | sorry mandriva fans | 04:46 |
| sebsebseb | gui: what Mandriva is? | 04:46 |
| DIFH-iceroot | skierKyle: system - settings- apperiance, there yu can disable the logo | 04:46 |
| SomePriest | DIFH-iceroot, Wait, that vid card is wrong. Hrm, 850 something-or-other, I forget, getting old :) | 04:46 |
| gui | all the linux commands are totally different and it's not user friendly as claimed | 04:46 |
| sebsebseb | gui: why do you think Mandriva is awful, and this is going a bit off topic, but whatever | 04:46 |
| sebsebseb | ok you just answered | 04:47 |
| === swoody_ is now known as swoody | ||
| gui | plus not much support for it | 04:47 |
| tritium | cr4z3d: well, find out the package name (dpkg -l | grep linux-image). Once you know which package(s) you need to reinstall, sudo apt-get install <packagename(s)> | 04:47 |
| gui | i couldn't update for along time | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | gui: yep Ubuntu is a great distro to start with and to stay with for many people | 04:47 |
| gui | anybody using ubuntu 7.10? | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | gui: if you did not like Mandriva, why did you put that one on for real? | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | gui: 7.10 was nice, but no longer suppourted | 04:48 |
| SomePriest | DIFH-iceroot, Radeon x850 XT :) Anyway, its ATI. And I'm using the fglrx driver. | 04:48 |
| tohar | ada | 04:48 |
| DIFH-iceroot | SomePriest: sorry dont know anything about ati and its driver, so i dont know if it is the best one | 04:48 |
| gui | i had a dvd off mandriva not an iso so i couldn't try it on my VM but it's my second Unix based try | 04:48 |
| cactusfrog | hi | 04:48 |
| gui | my first shot was solaris which has no buttons for shutdown or restart lol | 04:49 |
| swoody | is there a way to report spammers on the forums? | 04:49 |
| DIFH-iceroot | cactusfrog: hi | 04:49 |
| cactusfrog | i am having a problem i can't open tremulous | 04:49 |
| sebsebseb | gui: there's a good quick distribution chooser quiz, but Ubuntu should be the one you start using properly :d | 04:49 |
| cr4z3d | tritium: thank you. i guess i need to get a ubuntu livecd then since apt-get is not on arch | 04:49 |
| cactusfrog | i just installed it | 04:49 |
| gui | i did it already sebsebseb | 04:49 |
| cactusfrog | it wont run what is that comand that allows you to run tremulous in termianl | 04:49 |
| SomePriest | DIFH-iceroot, Do you know how to reopen the widget that installs third-party video card drivers? I used it to install fglrx, actually killed it before it finished, but it seems to have installed the driver anyway. | 04:49 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: ubuntu is the second-easiest distri so its a good choice | 04:49 |
| sebsebseb | gui: you can have Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu and Englightment and what not, all in the same install | 04:50 |
| gui | so which is the first? | 04:50 |
| skierKyle | DIFH-iceroot: system - preferences - appearance? and if so, where after that? | 04:50 |
| cactusfrog | ah! | 04:50 |
| sebsebseb | gui: which is the first what? | 04:50 |
| cactusfrog | what is the comand to run something so you can see it prosses then kill it | 04:50 |
| gui | you said that ubuntu is the second easiest distro so what's the first? | 04:50 |
| sebsebseb | gui: I never said second easiest distro | 04:50 |
| DIFH-iceroot | skierKyle: i dont have an english version, i think its called GUI, just look there | 04:50 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Ubuntu is one of the most easiest distros | 04:51 |
| cactusfrog | ok | 04:51 |
| gui | sorry that was DIFH-iceroot | 04:51 |
| cactusfrog | so i really don't know the comand to run proceses | 04:51 |
| cactusfrog | so | 04:51 |
| cactusfrog | that i can easly quit them | 04:51 |
| tritium | gui: ubuntu | 04:51 |
| gui | so DIFH-iceroot what's the first easiest one? | 04:51 |
| DIFH-iceroot | SomePriest: somewhere in the settings-tab i think | 04:51 |
| DIFH-iceroot | gui: opensuse | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | opensuse hummmm | 04:51 |
| cactusfrog | i cant open tremulous everytime i open it it crahses | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | ,but that's linked to Novell | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | who made a patents deal with Microsoft | 04:51 |
| DIFH-iceroot | sebsebseb: does not matter | 04:52 |
| SomePriest | DIFH-iceroot, Settings tab? Tab in what program? | 04:52 |
| cactusfrog | i just need one comand | 04:52 |
| tritium | And I would disagree with that claim, anyway. | 04:52 |
| cactusfrog | how do i run something through termninal | 04:52 |
| gui | anybody agrees that opensuse is the easiest? | 04:52 |
| DIFH-iceroot | SomePriest: menu on the top | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | so opensuse is like the community verison of Microsoft Linux :d | 04:52 |
| cactusfrog | please | 04:52 |
| gui | i think me too | 04:52 |
| cactusfrog | ok | 04:52 |
| SomePriest | DIFH-iceroot, You mean "system"? I have no settings menu. | 04:52 |
| bonez46 | microsoft linux? | 04:52 |
| cactusfrog | all quit using ubuntu | 04:52 |
| DIFH-iceroot | sebsebseb: i am using a system which i like and not which is not coming from microsoft | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | bonez46: yes see above at my joke | 04:52 |
| bonez46 | isn't that like saying one is a Mormon Catholic? | 04:52 |
| * gui laughing at microsoft linux | 04:52 | |
| DIFH-iceroot | SomePriest: ah of course, system - settings | 04:52 |
| bonez46 | ah, ok | 04:52 |
| SomePriest | :) | 04:53 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Microsoft did actsaully do a Unix ages ago I think | 04:53 |
| cactusfrog | who relieced the first linux ? | 04:53 |
| cactusfrog | please guys help | 04:53 |
| cactusfrog | i cant run tremulous | 04:53 |
| gui | well microsoft gained it's experience from Unix i believe | 04:53 |
| cactusfrog | and i dont know how to find its id number so i can kill it | 04:53 |
| tritium | cactusfrog: Software Landing Systems was among the first | 04:53 |
| bonez46 | inuitive.. sounds just Unreoala....! | 04:53 |
| gui | but aren't there any distro that can install downloaded softwares just like windows with a double clicks? | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | cactusfrog: ok put xkill in the terminal and click on the program that is causing problems | 04:54 |
| sprinkmeier | sebsebseb, they did a half-hearted VMS clone, called it NT :-) | 04:54 |
| SomePriest | DIFH-iceroot, System->Administration->Hardware Drivers | 04:54 |
| cactusfrog | ok | 04:54 |
| DIFH-iceroot | cactusfrog: the first linux released? of course linus torvalds | 04:54 |
| DIFH-iceroot | SomePriest: yes | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | sprinkmeier: oh right | 04:54 |
| cactusfrog | no | 04:54 |
| gui | i think mac supprts easy install as windows | 04:54 |
| cactusfrog | thats not what i want | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | gui: Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD | 04:54 |
| cactusfrog | the tremulous opens then quits but i never see a window | 04:55 |
| SomePriest | cactusfrog, ps aux | grep -i "PROGRAM_NAME" .... | 04:55 |
| sprinkmeier | gui, there' synaptic (and other package managers) that make installing things just as easy (different, but just as easy) | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | basically every popular decant OS is Unix in some shape or the other, and then we got Windows hum | 04:55 |
| cactusfrog | it happed to me with pidgen | 04:55 |
| SomePriest | sebastien_, That's not true. Only a small part of the FBSD kernel was used. | 04:55 |
| gui | spinkmeier: so this synaptic manages which extensions? | 04:56 |
| cactusfrog | OMFG! this is driving me crazy i am sorry that i am rude or what ever but i just need one simple code thats it how do i find a programs id number!!!!!!!!!!! | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | SomePriest: well it's still known as Unix under the hood | 04:56 |
| smotchkkiss | when i push code to github and pull down a clone, how do i update the clone to latest revision on github? | 04:56 |
| DIFH-iceroot | cactusfrog: ps aux | grep programname | 04:56 |
| SomePriest | sebastien_, heh, Linux isn't even "Unix" under the hood :) | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | !volunter | cactusfrog | 04:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about volunter | 04:56 |
| cactusfrog | thanks | 04:56 |
| cactusfrog | thats all i needed | 04:56 |
| SomePriest | cactusfrog, I sent you the same command about 4 mins ago :) | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | cactusfrog: don't use gods name in vein or you might go to hell :D | 04:56 |
| cactusfrog | ya well | 04:57 |
| cactusfrog | using linux is hell | 04:57 |
| sprinkmeier | sebsebseb, or be reborn as a lower life-form (MCSE?) | 04:57 |
| cactusfrog | bye | 04:57 |
| sebsebseb | sprinkmeier: heh | 04:57 |
| gui | i've seen somebody before showing off his linux capabilities and on his pc there was a console as a background displaying commands equivalent to everything he did from the gui, anybody know how he does this? | 04:57 |
| sebsebseb | gui: no, but sounds interesting | 04:58 |
| gui | yes i was so fasinated since he could learn alot from that process | 04:58 |
| sixofour | wow | 04:58 |
| SomePriest | gui, history | tail -f ? | 04:58 |
| sixofour | how big does an image have to be for gwenview to take up 98% of my cpu? | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | sprinkmeier: sadly it seems I might be able to get a more well paid job if I was a MCSE then if I had LPI | 04:58 |
| sprinkmeier | gui, some programs (like devede) send info like that to stdout, so if you start them from a terminal you'd get the same effect. If there's a way to do this in general I don't know what it is, but it sounds cool! | 04:59 |
| ander1dw | that's what i was thinking | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | sixofour: I think that's probably a shitty buggy gnome app to be honest :d | 04:59 |
| ander1dw | simple stdout | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | sixofour: well eye of gnome is | 04:59 |
| gui | but it wasn't a console actually it was a background | 04:59 |
| ander1dw | could've just been fullscreened without toolbars | 04:59 |
| gui | like commands going up the screen in the background | 04:59 |
| sixofour | gwenview is bnome?..i'm on kde | 04:59 |
| sprinkmeier | sebsebseb, get an RHCE. might not be technically superior than LPI but better commercial recognition, therefore more $$$ | 05:00 |
| sixofour | gnome* | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | sixofour: not sure if it's gnome | 05:00 |
| zonyl | sebsebseb: If you get passed over for having an LPI instead of MCSE, you dont want the job. | 05:00 |
| sixofour | lol the images are 5266x7000 | 05:00 |
| sixofour | and there is 200 of them | 05:00 |
| sixofour | no shit my stuff is slow | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | I am from UK, this countrey is way to locked into Microsoft, so I wonder where I could go here, with a LPI. | 05:00 |
| zeitsofa | gui: you can use conky to do that. | 05:00 |
| pidnull | [- OS Uptime: 4h 2m 15s -] | 05:00 |
| gui | is that supported under ubuntu? | 05:01 |
| zeitsofa | gui yes it is | 05:01 |
| ander1dw | you can actually create a "transparent" profile that looks as though it's just running out of thin air on top of your background | 05:01 |
| ander1dw | using the gnome terminal, that is | 05:01 |
| zonyl | seb: I run an MS shop, but I hire people based on their resume and resort to certs only as a tie breaker. | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | sprinkmeier: it seems LPI can be done at home, and then go some where for exams, but what about RHCE. also I got a feeling RHCE might be USA only | 05:02 |
| DIFH-iceroot | sebsebseb: you hav LPI(C)-1? or do you mean something other? | 05:02 |
| sebsebseb | DIFH-iceroot: no I mean I am considering doing LP1 Level 1 | 05:02 |
| DIFH-iceroot | linux professional i..... certificate level 1 | 05:02 |
| sprinkmeier | sebsebseb, RHCE is world-wide as far as I know. I believe it's like MCSE (i.e. study-test for $$$), but you should be able to book in for only the test | 05:02 |
| gui | tail -f /var/log/X11/* will that do the same? | 05:03 |
| sprinkmeier | gui, probably not, all it will tell you is what X thinks about the requests it's getting from the various programs running, not what those programs are or their parameters. | 05:03 |
| sebsebseb | zonyl: so experience and stuff in the CV? not so much about qualifiations? | 05:04 |
| jeeves | what is the most agressive scan that you can do of an IP? I need to test our work connection | 05:04 |
| sebsebseb | DIFH-iceroot: I don't have a good qualification in computing, and so LPI | 05:04 |
| sprinkmeier | sebsebseb, different orgs use CV's in different ways. Some do a buzzword-compliance check as first filter (in which case RHCE/MCSE is essential), some look for other stuff first. YMMV | 05:05 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 05:05 |
| sebsebseb | YMMV???? | 05:05 |
| silv3r_m00n | is it possible to get suse like menu here in ubuntu ? | 05:05 |
| jeeves | what is the most agressive scan that you can do of an IP? I need to test our work connection | 05:05 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, nmap? saint? pingflood? | 05:05 |
| crabgrass | how do i uninstall software i built? | 05:05 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, I've tried nmap, and it's not reporting anything open | 05:05 |
| DIFH-iceroot | sebsebseb: hm ok, i was think about doing lpi-1 because i have to get a new job and so i am searching for a good linux-quailification | 05:06 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, then maybe... nothing is open? | 05:06 |
| sebsebseb | DIFH-iceroot: Linux in UK, I guess it's servers, and that's about it really | 05:06 |
| zonyl | seb: Never. I look at resumes to bring people in and interview. Certs only break ties and very rarely do I resort to that. MCP MCTS is so easily gotten, it only shows someone can $$ for the transcender and is usually meaningless. I would rather have someone have experience with iptables than someone who knows how to point click MS ADS configuration. | 05:06 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, would it just be "nmap -vPN <target>"? | 05:06 |
| DIFH-iceroot | sebsebseb: ok, i have to look in germany :) | 05:06 |
| SomePriest | Is the RHCE very hard? I think there were 4 (?) tests? I finished the demo of the first and did very well. The second I did ok on, I think it was networking? But I've read O'Reilly's DNS/BIND since then. | 05:06 |
| sebsebseb | DIFH-iceroot: oh your German | 05:07 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, nmap has _many_ options, consider getting nmap-fe (GUI front-end for nmapo). BEWARE, nmap scans (esp. aggressive ones) can be interpreted as attacks and can GET PEOPLE FIRED! get WRITTEN PERMISSION first! | 05:07 |
| zonyl | seb: implementation can be googled, understanding the underlying tech cannot. | 05:07 |
| mythomaniac | anyone here familiar with awesome window manager, i need some guidance in setting up a theme and icons - i'm using 3.x btw | 05:07 |
| sebsebseb | zonyl: MS shop, so you don't even do Linux stuff? it's all about Windows? | 05:08 |
| brightjoker | hey all! | 05:08 |
| sebsebseb | brightjoker: hello | 05:08 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, I'm the lead I.T. tech, and the owner is sitting here watching the hockey game with me! LOL | 05:08 |
| zonyl | seb: Sadly yes. MS gives us so much $$$ in licensing and support we would be hard pressed to challenge that. | 05:09 |
| sebsebseb | zonyl: who are your customers? | 05:09 |
| brightjoker | anyone know the best way to improve signal strength between a use wireless adapter and the router? they are in the same room yet the usb only shows a 20% signal | 05:09 |
| askvictor | is there a gui for lvm in intrepid? | 05:09 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, still... it it's an external scan the ISP's cen get their nickers in a knot (esp. if you mess up the IP range and scan someone else :-) I'd recommend a simple "nmap TARGET_IP" first, then "man nmap" or get nmap-fe | 05:09 |
| zonyl | We are a web bases SAS company. Kinda B2B oriented. | 05:10 |
| tritium | sebsebseb, zonyl: probably better for #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:10 |
| sebsebseb | tritium: heh I knew that would be coming | 05:10 |
| skierKyle | silve3r_moon: "sudo apt-get install gnome-main-menu" pretty sure thats similar to the suse one | 05:10 |
| zonyl | seb: Well I was giving credence to the LPI ;) | 05:10 |
| tritium | sebsebseb: ;) | 05:10 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, the ISP is allready on our S-list, so we don't really care | 05:11 |
| sebsebseb | zonyl: yeah I would rather not work with MS :) and I can't be bothered to join offtopic so I guess we are done | 05:11 |
| gui | if i used ubuntu 8.10 and wanted to upgrade to 9.0.4 later will that mess up my configuration and save stuff? | 05:12 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, in that case, "nmap -T insane -p - TARGET_ADDRESS" :-) | 05:12 |
| sebsebseb | zonyl: unless you wanted to pm, but don't see much point in that either | 05:12 |
| brightjoker | gui: no. | 05:12 |
| sebsebseb | gui: your new to Linux | 05:12 |
| sebsebseb | gui: in a vm uhmmmmm I guess it's ok | 05:12 |

| liberteriandude | hello...ubujntu fans | 05:13 |
| sebsebseb | gui: don't upgrade to 9.04 | 05:13 |
| SomePriest | Installed Ubuntu for the first time today (I have years experience with Fedora, Debian, etc). The installer asked for my language, timezone, allowed me to edit partitions, but on stop 5 when I hit next it booted from the DVD, and didn't install or ever write the partitions I chose in the previous step. | 05:13 |
| brightjoker | its a linksys, i dont believe so, i can mess with the channels and frequency but pretty sure thats all zonyl | 05:13 |
| sebsebseb | gui: untill final release | 05:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | i'm in kubuntu but i want to use ubuntu's update manager, | 05:14 |
| sebsebseb | gui: your new you shoudn't do 9.04 untill final as a result | 05:14 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, from man: "-PN: Treat all hosts as online -- skip host discovery" looks like ICMP-PING is being blocked. | 05:14 |
| tritium | gui: jaunty is not currently supported. Please don't upgrade now while it's still alpha. | 05:14 |
| yao_ziyuan | so i removed adept and kpackagekit. | 05:14 |
| gui | so which is the latest stable release again? | 05:14 |
| sebsebseb | 8.10 | 05:14 |
| tritium | gui: 8.10 | 05:14 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, lol, looks like it worked then | 05:14 |
| Tamnakz | Anyone used quickccccam or quickcam2 to make a webcam work? re: dell xps integrated webca | 05:14 |
| yao_ziyuan | but synaptic update manager does not automatically check for updates nor show a tray icon when there is updates | 05:14 |
| mythomaniac | none one here uses awesome window manager? | 05:14 |
| mythomaniac | ;( | 05:14 |
| yao_ziyuan | how to run synaptic update manager at startup? | 05:14 |
| zonyl | brightjoker: You may want to check out dd-wrt: http://www.dd-wrt.com Flash that on there and bump the power in its settings | 05:14 |
| yao_ziyuan | what's its command line in ubuntu? | 05:14 |
| sebsebseb | mythomaniac: I have, but I never understood what was so awsome about it | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | mythomaniac, ive used it.. and i dont see the point.. read its docs if you want to use it.. | 05:14 |
| sebsebseb | mythomaniac: in my case it was like wtf how I use | 05:14 |
| soreau | mythomaniac: I use an awesome WM.. it's called compiz | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | mythomaniac, the archlinux wiki page also covers it in details | 05:15 |
| SomePriest | mythomaniac, I use AN awesome window manager. | 05:15 |

| Dr_Willis | mythomaniac, i did use it.. and it does not suite my needs | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | I will stick with jwm | 05:15 |
| tritium | mythomaniac: it's all a matter of personal opinion and taste. Please don't start a flamewar. | 05:16 |
| SomePriest | Athenon, What did google.com say? | 05:16 |
| brightjoker | can you explain lyra virus? cause i was to believe there were no linux viruses unless this is a first serious one... | 05:16 |
| Athenon | SomePriest: doesnt....seem like it...but i didnt do an UBERLY thorough search? | 05:16 |
| mythomaniac | tritium, umm i'm not flaming man, just seems sad that people attack it because they think its not useful to them | 05:16 |
| SomePriest | I recall there WAS a Red-Hat based virus that affected Apache some years ago. But that was over 10 years ago. | 05:16 |
| Dr_Willis | its not usefull to me.. thsats what i said.. | 05:17 |

| SomePriest | gRunt, Filezilla now has a Linux port. | 05:18 |

| SomePriest | brightjoker, No idea, don't think so. | 05:18 |
| thefeds | how do I install the latest version of eclipse? | 05:18 |
| zonyl | brightjoker: Any OS can have viruses. I believe Linux dodges this issue because users are a bit more sophisticated plus you dont generally run as root unless you really need to. There have been a number of worms affecting various base packages for *nix throughout the years though. | 05:18 |
| SomePriest | thefeds, The absolute latest? Grab the binary from their website...? | 05:19 |
| zeitsofa | did anybody know a good howto to restore deletet files from filesystem? i can see the delete folder with autospy but i don't know i can recover it. | 05:19 |
| thefeds | isn't that bad? | 05:19 |
| sprinkmeier | zonyl, brightjoker morris worm anyone ? :-) | 05:19 |
| thefeds | you're supposed to use apt-get right | 05:19 |
| sprinkmeier | zeitsofa, FS? | 05:19 |
| tritium | thefeds: yes, but you asked for the latest | 05:19 |
| brightjoker | haha im sorry to bug yall im high and am looking for just chat any suggestions of rooms for good general chat or anyone down for some convo | 05:19 |
| SomePriest | thefeds, Define bad. It avoids the package manager, but its not "bad" per se. | 05:19 |

| ubottu | Tamnakz: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 05:20 |
| thefeds | what is backports? | 05:20 |
| SomePriest | thefeds, But backports seems rather shallow for ubuntu. | 05:20 |
| musikgoat|main | gRunt: all in fancy little packages :-P | 05:20 |
| Tamnakz | ubpttu. neither of those help | 05:20 |
| sprinkmeier | zeitsofa, you're SOL.... part of the journalling/recovery mandates that deleted inodes get wiped (or somesuch). Ran into this a few years ago, the only solution was to groves through a bit-dump and look for the files manually. There was an experimental ext3 undelete but it didn't work. Backups? | 05:20 |
| SomePriest | thefeds, It backports newer binaries to older systems (someone compiled new versions of software against previously released libs) | 05:20 |

| thefeds | How do I uninstall eclipse? | 05:23 |
| thefeds | I installed it with add/remove | 05:23 |
| zeitsofa | sprinkmeier: it was backup device :/ i did a dd from the partition, and i run foremost and autospy did show me the needed folders. so i think theres a way to restore the files. i don't want to send the device to dada restore center, because it is very expensive. | 05:23 |
| skierKyle | sudo apt-get remove eclipse | 05:23 |

| SomePriest | Bah, wish you could resize video in Skype like you can on Windows (in windows resizing the window resizes the video) | 05:23 |

| gui | i was going to do a dual boot in my new labtop like windows and ubuntu and save all my stuff on a fat32 partition that both OS's can talk to. is that agood idea and will ubuntu be able to control all permissions correctly with fat32 directories? | 05:26 |
| skierKyle | thefeds: try... Applications - Accessories - Terminal, then when your in the terminal do, "sudo apt-get remove eclipse" no quotes. | 05:26 |
| sprinkmeier | zeitsofa, if you can DD the entire device then maybe you can send the image to the recovery place. | 05:26 |
| sebsebseb | gui: fat32 lol. Ubuntu can read and write to NTFS. and you can get a driver for Windows so that it can read and write to Ext3 | 05:26 |
| Scarra3 | Does anyone know how I can get my Canon MultiPASS F30 to work with Ubuntu | 05:26 |
| gui | but i think fat32 is fine too isn't it? | 05:27 |

| thefeds | whould I just install the tar.gz eclipse/ | 05:32 |
| thefeds | or is that a bad idea | 05:32 |
| jrib | Tamnakz: not sure what to explain. You just run that command | 05:32 |
| thefeds | screw up dependencies? | 05:32 |
| skierKyle | Tamnakz: you need to go into a terminal | 05:32 |
| jrib | thefeds: eclipse is in the repositories | 05:32 |
| sprinkmeier | thefeds, using the distro's package manager mages management/maintenance easier (applying patches, knowing what's installed ...) it's preferred by most places, but by no means mandatory. | 05:32 |

| eseven73 | !latest | thefeds | 05:33 |
| ubottu | thefeds: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 05:33 |

| thefeds | why the hell does ubuntu have 3.2? 3.4.2 is stable enough. | 05:37 |
| thefeds | for eclipse | 05:37 |
| thefeds | if not, stable | 05:37 |
| thefeds | that's like 2 years olfd | 05:37 |
| sebsebseb | thefeds: Ubuntu only does security updates, newer versions of programs in next release | 05:37 |
| sebsebseb | thefeds: there might be a ppa for a later eclipse though | 05:37 |
| sebsebseb | !ppa | 05:37 |
| ubottu | With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 05:37 |
| eseven73 | stability is why | 05:37 |
| thefeds | so when 9.4 comes out, will it use eclipse 3.4.2? | 05:38 |
| thefeds | or < | 05:38 |
| bazhang | thefeds, you can install a more recent version if you wish | 05:39 |
| Jeruvy | thefeds: check it out, if it isn't you can suggest they do. | 05:39 |
| zonyl | thefeds: More than likely someone maintains a deb/repo for it that you can used instead that is probably newer. I would imagine seeing as Eclipse and Ubuntu is so popular. | 05:39 |
| thefeds | how do I install 3.4.2 now? | 05:40 |
| jeeves | how can I parse an apache log file to show how many accesses each DNS name came from and on what day? | 05:40 |
| tritium | thefeds: install it manually | 05:40 |
| thefeds | I don't see it in backports | 05:40 |
| Nalf | I have a usb device that prevents lsusb from displaying any out put when I plug it in. Is there any log I can look at to see what is going on? | 05:40 |
| thefeds | who is the mascot for ubuntu? | 05:41 |
| thefeds | all I see is the hugging thing | 05:41 |
| nomasteryoda | Nalf, tail /var/log/messages | 05:41 |
| thefeds | such a hippie OS | 05:41 |
| Shadow121 | LOL | 05:41 |
| jeeves | thefeds, as far as I know, it's just that circle | 05:41 |
| lstarnes | thefeds: there is no mascot iirc | 05:41 |
| nomasteryoda | Nalf, or dmesg | 05:41 |
| thefeds | Peace man, share the love | 05:41 |
| Nalf | nomasteryoda, alright, thank you. The device is a linksys wusb54gs and if I plug it in it actually PREVENTs me from booting into ubuntu. | 05:42 |
| KittyKat | can anyone tell me where can I find files such as "libQtGui.so.4"? | 05:42 |
| nomasteryoda | nice Nalf | 05:42 |
| nomasteryoda | what about when you're in Ubuntu? | 05:42 |
| Nalf | nomasteryoda: Also.. might you know how to disable bluetooth? | 05:42 |
| J_P | hi all | 05:43 |
| KittyKat | Mainly for the Upek finger sensor library | 05:43 |
| Nalf | nomasteryoda, when I plug it in I notice nothing.. except I can't lsusb.. and it doesn't work to connect me to the internet. :\ | 05:43 |
| tritium | KittyKat: /usr/lib, if the proper package is installed | 05:43 |
| J_P | how I change of "Sun Mar 15 01:38:53 EDT 2009" to "Sun Mar 15 01:38:53 BRT 2009" ? I try set in tzselect and set ok to brazil location, but still are EDT. | 05:43 |
| nomasteryoda | Nalf, you can turn it off temporarily with "sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop" | 05:43 |
| nomasteryoda | Nalf, I believe that is a card requiring Ndiswrapper | 05:43 |
| Nalf | nomasteryoda, from what I can see when I have the wusb plugged in the computer hangs at starting bluetooth. I saw a thread on the forums that '8.10 works with it right out of the box.' Fail, apparently.:P | 05:44 |
| dsdeiz | hi, is it possible to know the size of an app? let's say firefox | 05:44 |
| jeeves | anyone on this parsing issue? | 05:44 |
| KittyKat | tritium: it's telling me to install the missing libraries, though I dont know where to get them from . | 05:44 |
| nomasteryoda | Nalf, check those logs | 05:44 |
| Nalf | nomasteryoda, Will do.. booting into ubuntu.. be back shortly. | 05:44 |
| sprinkmeier | J_P, tzselect will only tell you which environment variable to set for the shell you're in. Use the GUI tool (system->admin->time and date) to change the system default timezone | 05:44 |

| KittyKat | Thanks, tritium | 05:48 |
| thefeds | should I install sun java or gcj java? | 05:48 |
| sprinkmeier | J_P, /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime are modified by the GUI tool. one contains a simple string, one is a copy of the relevant zone info file (can't remember where others are kept ATM). I don't know where else info is kept. maybe dkpg --reconfigure ???? | 05:48 |

| Deodorant | lol | 06:00 |

| Dr_Willis | kernel09l, logically.. yes. | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 06:05 |
| kernel09l | then can you pls. point me to install wine first | 06:06 |
| kernel09l | thanks | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | its in the package maanger | 06:06 |

| * Nalf mutters | 06:09 | |
| doleyb | kernel09l: do you have the linux version of poweriso? | 06:10 |
| kernel09l | doleyb: yes | 06:11 |
| doleyb | kernel09l: Um, maybe you need to get http://poweriso.com/poweriso-1.2.tar.gz | 06:11 |
| kernel09l | doleyb: yes i did get it but doesn't work. | 06:12 |
| stewart_ | if i am on my server do i need to know the ip address of my localmachine to pull files from it? Is there a way for the command to pickup that its the machine that has the incoming ssh command? | 06:12 |
| doleyb | kernel09l: oh... | 06:12 |
| stewart_ | all via scp | 06:12 |
| kernel09l | doleyb: i just need to extract .daa files | 06:12 |
| doleyb | kernel09l: so how does poweriso fail to do that? | 06:13 |
| Ndshacker | this is getting ridiculus | 06:13 |
| Ndshacker | Ive reinstalled Ubuntu three times today | 06:13 |
| dreamnid | stewart_: I think the answer is no | 06:13 |
| sprinkmeier | stewart_, sort of... you could set up a reverse tunnel, then scp to/from ::1 (localhost) | 06:13 |

| smotchkkiss | sprinkmeier: i am in bash. how do make a function? | 06:22 |
| doleyb | kernel09l: well idk what to do about the version problem. Maybe that version of poweriso is old and you should get a newer one. Maybe your daa is corrupted. Maybe you should try acetoneteam.org instead | 06:22 |

| zapz | guys help me... I can't boot to my Ubuntu... Since I changed the compizfusion settings... | 06:46 |
| chronographer | ohletmeinnowjesu: its a permissions problem | 06:46 |
| sprinkmeier | Alex_21, try the mount command with "-o ro" (read-only, just in case) with different device until you trip across the right one? | 06:47 |
| chronographer | zapz: reconfigure X | 06:47 |
| zapz | choronographer how? ive been googling it.... no luck | 06:47 |
| chronographer | Dr_Willis: keyboard works fine in console, and xev reports correct keys, how should I fix it in gnome? | 06:47 |
| MatthewMPP | I am familiar with linux but new to ubuntu. I have just installed it on my desktop computer and I am impressed with how user friendly it is; however, I can't get ubuntu to mount a cd or dvd. It just says that there is "no media found". (Yes, I have a disk in the drive.) I have googled the issue and it seems to be a common problem, but I could not find the solution on any of the pages I read. Thx. | 06:48 |
| chronographer | dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg <- I think | 06:48 |
| Alex_21 | I don't know what any devices are at the moment | 06:48 |
| chronographer | backup your xorg first | 06:48 |
| Alex_21 | Hmm | 06:48 |
| Ndshacker | What device are you looking for? | 06:48 |
| zapz | chronographer seems hard, do u have URL's? | 06:48 |
| chronographer | zapz: first try "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.BACKUP | 06:48 |
| sprinkmeier | Alex_21, run "mount" to see if you can find any devices mentioned. Then.... guess? | 06:49 |
| Ndshacker | Oh, Alex, open up Gparted | 06:49 |
| Alex_21 | I'm looking for the one I need to mount while following https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/13899 . But mine seems different | 06:49 |
| chronographer | er...try the above. if it's works, put it back | 06:49 |
| chronographer | i mean. if it is WORSE put it back | 06:49 |
| anatashinu | hey | 06:50 |
| chronographer | that will move your screen settings to a backup and Ubuntu will make new ones (hopefully working new ones) | 06:50 |
| anatashinu | i just made a usb startup | 06:50 |
| sprinkmeier | Alex_21, the above guide uses /dev/hda implying IDE disks. is the system newer? SATA? should it be /dev/sda? | 06:50 |
| Alex_21 | Ok, so "Mount" on its own will spit out a list of devices? | 06:50 |
| anatashinu | are you supposed to just use by saying try without doing anything to system? | 06:50 |
| sprinkmeier | Alex_21, yes, it should | 06:50 |
| Ndshacker | Alex: Open up your partition Manager | 06:50 |
| Alex_21 | I'm still in the installer | 06:51 |
| Ndshacker | and you can see in graphical form which drives are what | 06:51 |
| Ndshacker | Oh :| | 06:51 |
| sprinkmeier | anatashinu, yes, that's a good way to look at Ubuntu w/o changing anything | 06:51 |
| Alex_21 | And also, It is an IDE disk | 06:51 |
| anatashinu | ok | 06:51 |
| Ndshacker | when in doubt: Reformat the whole dang thing | 06:51 |
| anatashinu | but i already have it installed | 06:51 |
| anatashinu | i just want to have ubuntu portable | 06:51 |
| mercutio22 | I can't type accents in KDE apps. Gnome apps are cool. Can I get some help? It should be easy right? | 06:51 |
| Alex_21 | I'm trying to find the sixth partition on the IDE Drive | 06:52 |
| anatashinu | so is that how i should do it? | 06:52 |
| Ndshacker | sda6 | 06:52 |
| sprinkmeier | Alex_21, what does mount say? do you have fdisk at all? | 06:52 |
| Ndshacker | Would be the sixth one on a IDE drive | 06:52 |
| Ndshacker | assuming you have one drive | 06:52 |
| sprinkmeier | anatashinu, so you installed from USB and want to run the installed version? | 06:52 |
| Ndshacker | or its on the first | 06:52 |
| anatashinu | no. | 06:53 |
| Ndshacker | my pc wont boot from usb ;( | 06:53 |
| Alex_21 | Unless fdisk is on the Alternate CD, I don't have it | 06:53 |
| anatashinu | I made a USB startup using the USB startup tool. | 06:53 |
| anatashinu | I just want it to be a portable version of Ubuntu | 06:53 |
| Ndshacker | Ah, I hate alternative disks :S | 06:53 |
| jimijix1 | i have a usb hard drive that i can't safely remove in vista, and i'm unable to mount it in linux because of it, how do i mount it? | 06:53 |
| anatashinu | so should I just use the try option? | 06:53 |
| Ndshacker | Alex: why do you have 6 partitions? | 06:54 |
| Alex_21 | I have no choice but to leave the thing as is until I can find the solution | 06:54 |
| sprinkmeier | anatashinu, OK, try the 'live' option (i.e. try it without installing). Note that, onse started, you can actually mount/mess up the existing partitions if you try hardenough :-) | 06:54 |
| Alex_21 | It is a doel boot system | 06:54 |
| lulzman | hai everyone | 06:54 |
| Ndshacker | still | 06:54 |
| anatashinu | ok | 06:54 |
| Ndshacker | 6? | 06:54 |

| anatashinu | thanks | 06:54 |

| fikr | Hi, how to uninstall an application and all of its setting by using Application->Add/Remove? | 06:56 |
| sprinkmeier | Alex_21, can you run mount? | 06:56 |
| sugi | if im running a livecd, can i see my harddrive from it? | 06:56 |
| chronographer | sugi: yes | 06:56 |

| Ndshacker | You may need to hard reboot :s | 06:57 |
| Alex_21 | Yes, I can run mount | 06:57 |
| Ndshacker | Or just try them all | 06:57 |
| sugi | chronographer: i can't find it anywhere | 06:57 |
| fieldse | fikr I think you want to use package manager to see dependencies and uninstall them all, dunno best answer | 06:57 |
| Ndshacker | then run it | 06:57 |
| Alex_21 | I will | 06:57 |

| Ndshacker | If you want to search for a specific type | 06:59 |
| Ndshacker | I would geuss you would look for raw | 07:00 |
| Ndshacker | Since it is a dual boot | 07:00 |

| Ndshacker | Sugi: From what I see on google, wait until after you get the file back. It looks like its a massive type of Data Eraser :s | 07:14 |

| Ndshacker | yes | 07:23 |
| zapz | what does it do > deleting my compiz? Ndshacker | 07:23 |
| sprinkmeier | Reidy, yes. they're mirrors of the official packages. Use Synaptic properties to find/set the closest one | 07:23 |
| Ndshacker | That will uninstall it | 07:23 |
| lstarnes | zapz: that will remove compiz's packages | 07:23 |
| zapz | whhhaaa... okay I'll just download it again..... | 07:23 |
| Ndshacker | If you want to be specific :| | 07:23 |
| ninsei | anyone know of a good tutorial on using SLI in Ubuntu? | 07:23 |
| lstarnes | zapz: it may be safer to just disable it rather than removing it complerely | 07:23 |
| lstarnes | *completely | 07:23 |
| zapz | I can't boot to my ubuntu since I change a settings in my compiz | 07:24 |
| zapz | hahahhahah.... whhhaaa I already did | 07:24 |

| sugi | Ndshacker: fieldse: darn I have this file backed on my on linux computer, but I am unsure if it's updated. this is starting to bug me now. and my windows computer is havign some sort of heart-attacking | 07:24 |
| Reidy | @ Sprinkmeier: So I just go into System > Synaptic Package Manager > ?? Then what? | 07:24 |
| sugi | fieldse: thank you sir. i am browsing it now | 07:24 |
| zapz | lstarnes in case I want to disable it... what should i do? | 07:25 |
| sprinkmeier | Reidy, settings, repositories, click on "download from" | 07:25 |
| Ndshacker | sugi: if you have it backed up, try the link he gave you, and save that | 07:25 |
| Ndshacker | then you can marge them if the file is corrupted | 07:25 |
| sugi | Ndshacker: fieldse: now my computer is telling me that there is now such harddrive to load the OS off of. nice | 07:25 |
| Ndshacker | *merge | 07:25 |
| Ndshacker | that srsly sucks | 07:26 |
| fieldse | @sugi: lol! haha... yeah. Just boot up with that CD.. or hell, you don't really even need to use a recovery CD, honestly. but boot up with CD on windows machine, mount windows HD. won't take 30 mins if you're lucky | 07:26 |
| Ndshacker | I reinstall Ubuntu in under an hour | 07:27 |
| Ndshacker | So this should take no time at all | 07:27 |
| sugi | fieldse: this website and recover application is only directed towards GNU/UNIX base OS correct? | 07:27 |
| zapz | lstarnes in case I want to disable it... what should i do? | 07:27 |
| Arelis_ | Hello people. I am about to install Ubuntu onto my mac mini, but the automatic partition tool didn't quite work so well so i used manual partitioning. However what partitions should i add? I have a swap partition of 4GB, now what? | 07:27 |
| Ndshacker | Arelis, thatw ay to much swap | 07:28 |
| lstarnes | zapz: give me a few minutes to find that out please | 07:28 |
| Arelis_ | Ndshacker: i have 2GB of RAM | 07:28 |
| Ndshacker | If you have a half decent amount of ram 51 2 mb, you only need 1 gb | 07:28 |
| Ndshacker | The nyou prob dont need any | 07:28 |
| Ndshacker | butgo with 1 | 07:28 |
| Arelis_ | "The size of your swap should be equal to twice your computer's physical RAM for up to 2 GB of physical RAM. For physical RAM above 2 GB, the size of your swap should be equal to the amount of physical RAM above 2 GB. The size of your swap should never less than 32 MB. " | 07:28 |
| Arelis_ | "Using this basic formula, a system with 2 GB of physical RAM would have 4 GB of swap, while one with 3 GB of physical RAM would have 5 GB of swap. " | 07:28 |
| Ndshacker | That is a lie | 07:29 |
| Ndshacker | suck a horrid lie | 07:29 |
| Ndshacker | *such | 07:29 |
| fieldse | @sugi yes, directe for linux. doesn't matter... if you can boot up, you can recover your file, then reformat/reinstall. Best solution unless you have a hard drive full of important info that you have to save | 07:29 |
| === egillth is now known as egillth_ | ||
| Arelis_ | Ndshacker: Would having a too big swap partition hurt? | 07:29 |
| Ndshacker | That is a flawed formula, if I have 8 GB of ram, I sure as hell dont need 10 Gb of swap | 07:29 |
| Ndshacker | no | 07:29 |
| Ndshacker | but 3 GB of extra swap is just stupid :\ | 07:30 |
| Arelis_ | Okay, i'll just keep it 4GB then. But after the swap partition, what else do i need to add? | 07:30 |
| fieldse | @sugi: You could try to recover system with antivirus, but ... why go through the effort? | 07:30 |
| Ndshacker | A Ext3 Filesystem mounted at / | 07:30 |
| quibbler | zapz: look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574092 | 07:30 |
| Arelis_ | What about /boot? | 07:30 |
| Ndshacker | that will be the install partition | 07:30 |
| Ndshacker | no need for anything else | 07:30 |
| sprinkmeier | Arelis_, the "double RAM" rule is from the time before people got too impatient to actually use swap. these days if you're using swap, get more RAM. As for other partitions, just a single / will do. More partitions than that is for servers, not laptops. | 07:30 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | quibbler: thanks for the link, i now know how to change permissions for groups/owners...but I still dont know the difference between them | 07:31 |
| fieldse | @sugi It worked enough to save my windows machine data | 07:31 |
| zapz | thanks | 07:31 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | quibbler: how do i check the current user/group list? | 07:31 |
| ninsei | Does anyone else here run SLI in Ubuntu? | 07:31 |
| sprinkmeier | ohletmeinnowjesu, run "id" | 07:31 |
| Ndshacker | system > administration >users and groups | 07:32 |
| Arelis_ | I want to create a /home partition. What size should / be? | 07:32 |
| sugi | fieldse: downloading it right now. hahha i didn't know there was a wget for windws base OS. i Would love that feature in my dos command prompt | 07:32 |
| Arelis_ | sprinkmeier: Thanks | 07:32 |
| Ndshacker | wget is an extra download :) | 07:32 |
| pseudomorph | ok, scrollback doesn't seem to be working so sorry if someone answered this. Does anyone have an idea why I cannot see my primary hdd in the ubuntu partition tool when installing? | 07:32 |
| zapz | guys how about this I cant set my Visual effects to normal.... "it said that Desktop effects could not be enabled" | 07:32 |
| sprinkmeier | Arelis_, I wouldn't. Just make / take up all the space. add /boot if the installer thinks you should (100M should be plenty) | 07:32 |
| lstarnes | zapz: did you remove compiz? | 07:33 |
| zapz | yup | 07:33 |
| hateball | Arelis_: 10GB should be well enough for /, the rest for /home | 07:33 |
| Ndshacker | O.O | 07:33 |
| lstarnes | zapz: you will need to reinstall compiz for that to work | 07:33 |
| sugi | Ndshacker: fieldse: darn, my bios can not see the hard drive all together. this will cause some problems | 07:33 |
| bn43 | zapz: what graphics card do you have? | 07:33 |
| === rootusr_ is now known as TuTUXG_ | ||
| Ndshacker | yeah :s | 07:33 |
| Arelis_ | sprinkmeier: 10GB.. I don't think that would be enough for all the applications | 07:33 |
| Ndshacker | hell no | 07:34 |
| fieldse | Hey! @ Everyone re: Swapfile partition not really necessary unless you're using hibernate / sleep, right? It seems a waste of a primary partition. Is there an alternative? | 07:34 |
| zapz | okay.... Im using intel.. blah graphics card | 07:34 |
| Ndshacker | Fieldse: go with 1 gb | 07:34 |
| Ndshacker | unless you have 4 gb or greater | 07:34 |
| sugi | fieldse: the swap partition??/ | 07:34 |
| fieldse | lol @zapz | 07:34 |
| Ndshacker | I personaly never hit swap, but my firefox is tweaked to the max :) | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | fieldse, You could make a swap file if you want.. but a partition is more effficient | 07:35 |
| sugi | fieldse: you think it's a waste of hard drive space if your not using a sleep funcation? is this what oyu are asking? | 07:35 |
| zapz | whhhaaaa... | 07:35 |
| zapz | at least I booted into my ubuntu | 07:35 |
| doleyb | fieldse: swap partition is not for suspending during power-off. It is so a program which runs out of RAM can keep going. | 07:35 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | so how do i chmod a certain file to be available to only a certain type of users? | 07:35 |
| Ndshacker | Sugi: Hes asking for alternatives, | 07:35 |
| bn43 | Ndshacker: how have you tweaked ur firefox? I sometimes have firefox using 300mb ram at a time! | 07:35 |
| Arelis_ | sprinkmeier: So a /home partition would cause problems? | 07:35 |
| Ndshacker | bn43: lol | 07:36 |
| sugi | Ndshacker: ahhhh i see. | 07:36 |
| Ndshacker | bn43: mine uses 65 mb and runs faster than most :) | 07:36 |
| koshari | ohletmeinnowjesu you may mean chown | 07:36 |
| fieldse | @sugi, dr_willis, ndshacker - I mean, I have 3 partitions already on my HD, so if I didn't have to use a partition for swapfile, it would be useful to me to have a 4th partition free | 07:36 |
| sprinkmeier | Arelis_, my / is 100G and it's half full, I do a lot of stuffing around, storing backups etc. I have a user junk partition (730G). partitioning before knowing exactly how big each partition should be will jsut ause problems later. | 07:36 |
| bn43 | Ndshacker: how?? | 07:36 |
| Ndshacker | Theres a guide | 07:36 |
| fieldse | @doleyb I was reading that it was necessary for sleep function though.. is this incorrect? | 07:36 |
| Arelis_ | sprinkmeier: Yes, but i don't have any good tools for backupping | 07:36 |
| zapz | so in installing compiz ..... I should type = Apt-get install Compiz compiz-core .... ayt? | 07:36 |
| bn43 | give! | 07:36 |
| sugi | Ndshacker: fieldse: I may take a break on this, as I might be more willing to tweak and fix this issue tomorrow hahahhaha. but i am still downloading this unix base recover software and going to see if i can at least get my computer to see my hard drive. | 07:37 |
| Ndshacker | Search google for "Speed up firefox, ABout:config" | 07:37 |
| Arelis_ | sprinkmeier: A /home partition seems convenient to me. However, i want to keep installing applications | 07:37 |
| n2diy | ohletmeinnowjesu: make the file available to the "group, | 07:37 |
| fieldse | @sugi lol ... ah, yeah good luck | 07:37 |
| Dr_Willis | zapz, linux is case SeNeSeTiVe :) be sure to get the case CorrEct | 07:37 |
| sprinkmeier | Arelis_, tar and an external drive is all you need. actually, backuppc is _fantastic_, I'l look into it. | 07:37 |
| Ndshacker | Sugi: seey a man | 07:37 |
| lstarnes | zapz: no, sudo apt-get install compiz | 07:37 |
| Ndshacker | I use keep | 07:37 |
| fieldse | @sugi : It will work, no worries | 07:37 |
| sugi | Ndshacker: fieldse: im not done yet. but i just letting you know i may throw the tower in soon (real soon) hahhahaha | 07:38 |
| zapz | okay | 07:38 |
| fieldse | lol | 07:38 |
| Ndshacker | hahaha | 07:38 |
| Arelis_ | sprinkmeier: Oh, yeah, true, i DO have the tools. An external drive. I didn't use it to backup my mac, because time machine wipes the filesystem off the external drive and it's loaded full with stuff i may not delete. | 07:38 |
| quibbler | ohletmeinnowjesu: user@host:/home/user$ sudo chown tux:penguins foobar | 07:38 |
| Arelis_ | sprinkmeier: thanks :) | 07:38 |
| sprinkmeier | Arelis_, as I said, you can add a home partition, but if you guess wrong on how big it should be then you're either wasting disk-space or limiting what you can in stall or both. I don;t bother with a seperate /home these days. | 07:38 |
| Ndshacker | skype uses more than firefox O.O | 07:38 |
| Nalf | http://pastebin.com/m74ef2d30 -- my wireless usb adapter... any ideas on how to fix | 07:38 |

| Ndshacker | how can I disable Nautilus? <---- is it necesary? | 07:39 |
| Reidy | So, my download speeds have yet to improve. I've tried repository servers from my own state, and now I'm on some random one. I need any help I can get. My speeds are downloading at an average of 25-30kb/s.. | 07:39 |
| n2diy | sprinkmeier: how do you backup your stuff without /home? | 07:39 |
| Ndshacker | ouch | 07:39 |
| Reidy | My internet is not the problem, it is just fine... | 07:39 |
| lstarnes | Ndshacker: if you disable nautilus and you use gnome, you will not be able to browse files or have a desktop background | 07:39 |
| fieldse | @ndshacker, sugi - lol at "throw in the tower"... I think that's a new spin on the old phrase, but highly appropriate | 07:39 |
| Ndshacker | Istarnes: Its worth 50 b :p | 07:39 |
| Arelis_ | sprinkmeier: Okay. Now i have these partitions: /dev/sda1 (EFI (Mac boot partition)), /dev/sda2 (HFS+ (Mac partition)), /dev/sda3 (SWAP), /dev/sda4 (Ext3 (/)). Is this okay? And if i continue, will this overwrite my mac's MBR? | 07:39 |
| Ndshacker | *mb | 07:39 |
| Ndshacker | It might | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | macs have a mbr? | 07:40 |
| Ndshacker | but I doubt it | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | i thought the efi stuff dident work that way | 07:40 |
| lstarnes | Ndshacker: gnome is rather notorious for being somewhat bloated (and your font confuses lowercase L with uppercase i) | 07:40 |
| Ndshacker | Yeah :s | 07:40 |
| sugi | fieldse: im glad you got that pun, i thought it was a little corn :p | 07:40 |
| Ndshacker | it ses more than firefox ;( | 07:40 |

| pseudomorph | Sorry if someone answered this. Does anyone have an idea why I cannot see my primary hdd in the 8.10 partition tool when installing? The drive boots fine and shows up in 7.04 and parted magic | 07:41 |
| rideback | hello again i really need help my gcc isnt working | 07:42 |
| lstarnes | rideback: in what way is it not working? | 07:42 |
| sprinkmeier | Arelis_, I've never played with a max, you're on your own :-) | 07:42 |
| rideback | checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no | 07:42 |
| Arelis_ | sprinkmeier: It seems i skipped a very important step. I need to reboot for that. Bye. (Maybe i'll be back for more support) | 07:42 |
| lstarnes | rideback: install build-essential | 07:43 |
| rideback | i'll try | 07:43 |
| sprinkmeier | n2diy, I use backuppc to do all my backups and occasionally copy the tarballs to an external drive | 07:43 |
| Ndshacker | I use AptonCd once a week | 07:43 |
| Ndshacker | so that I can reinstall at any time | 07:43 |
| n2diy | sprinkmeier: have you ueed sbackup? | 07:44 |
| Reid1 | Anyone know how to fix my download speeds? | 07:45 |
| Ndshacker | you can tweak some files | 07:45 |
| Ndshacker | but I dont know if You should do that :) | 07:45 |
| sprinkmeier | n2diy, no. link? gotta go run an errand, back in a while | 07:46 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | quibbler: ok, well heres my situation whenever I try to share a folder on my ntfs partition using rightclick-share I get this : http://pastebin.com/m6112c63b . Im wondering if | 07:46 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | 1. I need to sudo edit the smb.conf file to allow general access (like it suggests) or | 07:46 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | 2. "Chown" the directory to my account from root and then try re-sharing it again | 07:46 |
| koshari | Ndshacker partimage and rsync are prolly a little more practical than aptoncd, aptoncd only backs up deb packages, | 07:46 |
| Ndshacker | :s | 07:47 |
| Ndshacker | Probably, but I only need my Deb files | 07:47 |
| ninsei | anybody know anything about running SLI video cards in Linux? | 07:47 |
| koshari | ohletmeinnowjesu depends on the dir/file what are the current permissians, | 07:47 |
| Ndshacker | Everything else is stored on Flash Drives, or External Harddrives | 07:47 |

| wyatt-ch | what do you mean start ubuntu?zapz | 07:50 |
| zapz | start ubuntu.... I hit the ctrl+alt+f7 now I want to go back | 07:50 |

| 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 | 07:55 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | koshari: thats what I get when I ls the parent directory of the folder I wanna samba-share | 07:55 |
| sugi | Ndshacker: i think i am ready to reformat. or double check everything. | 07:55 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | koshari: think that means owner = root, group = root & their rw perm is rwx | 07:56 |

| Ndshacker | yes you | 08:01 |

| koshari | ohletmeinnowjesu effectively its been cmod 777ed | 08:02 |
| Ndshacker | wow | 08:02 |
| rideback | n2diy how? | 08:02 |
| n2diy | extuser: tried that, no luck, with gparted. | 08:02 |

| ohletmeinnowjesu | koshari: http://pastebin.com/m63424fe4 | 08:02 |
| rideback | i've try both | 08:02 |
| Ndshacker | But im 99% sure you cant in Linux | 08:02 |
| SomePriest | Ndshacker, Depends what the client machine is running. If its a Windows box, for example, you can use pageant (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html). | 08:03 |
| drecon | anyone any idea why I get a failed to mount error plugging in my usb? | 08:03 |
| quibbler | ohletmeinnowjesu: foobar is the file root: is group user% is th3 user you want to have use the file | 08:03 |
| SomePriest | Ndshacker, I'm sure there is a *nix equiv, never had the pleasure though. | 08:03 |
| n2diy | rideback: did you try apt-get? | 08:03 |
| rideback | yes | 08:03 |
| quibbler | ohletmeinnowjesu: do chown --help and read | 08:03 |
| extuser | n2diy: does gparted complain? erorr message? or does it act like it's formatting without issues. | 08:03 |
| SomePriest | Ndshacker, Can't what in Linux? | 08:03 |
| Ndshacker | Uninstall Firfox | 08:04 |
| SomePriest | Also, I note that DVD's are very grainy in VLC, but VLC plays DivX files with great clarity. | 08:04 |
| quibbler | ohletmeinnowjesu: do chown --help and read if you want file & directories use chown -hR | 08:04 |
| koshari | ohletmeinnowjesu i suspect it may be a ntfs permissians thing, can you share a parent and symlink the folder from there? | 08:05 |
| n2diy | extuser: I don't remember, let give it a try now. Hardy, Dapper, and I, have been arguing with this drive for two days now. | 08:05 |
| SomePriest | Who was it that said Linux is getting Chrome soon? I hope they're not holding their breath :) | 08:06 |
| bn43 | SomePriest: have u installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 08:06 |
| extuser | n2diy: keep in mind that when you run gparted you can "expand" the details section of the dialog that shows when it's working. if you expand it enough you'll get the actual command line tools and parameters (and maybe errors too?) | 08:06 |
| SomePriest | bn43, Why? | 08:06 |
| bn43 | SomePriest: installs all necessary codecs for media play | 08:07 |
| bn43 | among other things | 08:07 |
| SomePriest | bn43, I can play DVDs, they just look grainy and slightly oversaturated. DivX files look wonderful though. | 08:07 |
| rideback | n2diy | 08:07 |
| rideback | can i post the return of command apt-get | 08:08 |
| Ndshacker | Don't worry, Im back :) | 08:08 |
| n2diy | extuser: gparted shows the drive as 74.5g, with 1.3g in use. | 08:08 |
| n2diy | rideback: use pastebin | 08:08 |
| n2diy | ! pastebin | rideback | 08:08 |
| ubottu | rideback: 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) | 08:08 |
| extuser | n2diy: so what's the issue, you want to do a low level format of the entire drive and you can't. i lost perspective as to what the original issue is. soory. | 08:09 |
| fieldse | neat | 08:09 |
| jim_p | today i thought i can act brave and install atis drivers from the .run file they provide. bad idea. when i move my windows or scroll, i get ripples and this is some error in dmesg >> http://pastebin.com/d61571ebf any ideas are welcome | 08:10 |
| n2diy | extuser: I can't install Ubuntu on the drive, it crashes the installer. And I'm suspect of the 1.3 gig that is in use, what is using it? | 08:10 |
| SomePriest | jim_p, I'm spent the last two hours playing with ubuntu's fglrx, ati's binary from their site, ati's binary from the 3rd party installer, and I think the performance of them all is bloody terrible. | 08:11 |
| tavish | ia ma having problem with my sound, there are no devices in preferences->sound. but asoundconf list gives my sound card intel. and alsactl names gives nothing | 08:11 |
| jim_p | SomePriest, well i agree with it, but i cant have radeon on my 3850 | 08:12 |
| jim_p | :( | 08:12 |

| wolter | hypernewbie, pm | 08:15 |
| n2diy | extuser: ok, I'm on a desktop, so power shouldn't be an issue. In gparted, I just selected the partition, and deleted it, but, gparted isn't responding. | 08:15 |

| jim_p | SomePriest, slow in 2d? as in...? | 08:16 |
| extuser | n2diy: doesn't sound good. i'd leave it for a while.... maybe it's busy. but if it is actually locked up, then maybe there's a driver issue, or maybe the hdd itself is having errors | 08:16 |
| SomePriest | jim_p, Or maybe what I'm seeing is as good is can be provided under Linux. Not sure. I seem to recall Fedora was much fater. | 08:16 |
| SomePriest | jim_p, As in slow redrawing of text when windows are moved or scrolled. | 08:17 |
| CosmiChaos | Has anybody a conclusion on how to block these russian porn-spammers that write me everyday from 3 new numbers in pidgin??? | 08:17 |
| n2diy | extuser: ok, It wiped the partition, now I'm going to create an ext3 partition. | 08:17 |
| extuser | n2diy: i'd delete all partitions and all logical volumes. | 08:17 |
| jim_p | SomePriest, i have that scrolling problem in ff too | 08:17 |
| SomePriest | jim_p, and DVDs look terrible, but that must be the DVD decoders fault I suppose. | 08:18 |

| SomePriest | Is there an easy way to drop to run level 3, then back to 5 (or otherwise restarting X) when changes have been made? `init` doesn't seem to exist in Ubunutu? | 08:20 |
| extuser | n2diy: ok. if i remember correct, you want to install ubuntu onto it? if so, the installer should be able to continue. | 08:20 |
| pseudomorph | Does anyone have an idea why I cannot see my primary hdd in gparted in 8.10 when installing (desktop, alt and mint)? The drive boots fine and shows up in 7.04 and parted magic live cds. | 08:21 |
| druggz | i installed php5-mysql | 08:21 |
| n2diy | extuser: yes. I've applied the changes, and it has deleted the partition, and is now finished creating the new one. And again, 1.3g is listed as in use, what the heck is using 1.3g, on a freshly partitioned drive? | 08:22 |

| shirish | druggz did you see the php conf files | 08:23 |
| joetheodd | Are the broadcom wifi drivers supported on 64bit or should I use 32bit? | 08:23 |
| n2diy | extuser: Bios sees it as an 80g drive. I suspect I have a hidden OEM partition, that is why I want to low level format the drive. | 08:23 |
| shirish | durggz may be you have to uncoment the line which includes mysql lines | 08:23 |
| SomePriest | Anyone else notice that with ATI's binary drivers, VLC will play movies (DVD or DivX), but the video will be black, and only the audio is correct? | 08:24 |

| SomePriest | ...and you can correct that using X11 Video Output, but then it drops frames like crazy :) | 08:25 |
| sprinkmeier | joetheodd, try the live CDs? | 08:26 |

| SomePriest | To be fair | 08:28 |
| zapz | but still | 08:28 |
| extuser | n2diy: not sure how used to bios setting you are, but just in case you aren't a bios pro, make sure you write down all the current setting exactly. it might save you a huge headache later. | 08:29 |
| extuser | n2diy: an easy way to test for the bios theory would be to install it onto another desktop computer and boot up the livecd on that computer and see if has the same issues. | 08:30 |
| extuser | n2diy: good luck with your hdd, i have to go. cheers. | 08:32 |
| n2diy | extuser: fine business, this isn' mission critical stuff, I salvaged the HP box, and after no luck getting that to work, pulled the drive, and I'm using it in my test box. It has the same issues, regardless of which box it is in..73 | 08:33 |

| qdb | hello. i have tried to install ubuntu 8.04 dvd | 08:35 |
| qdb | it said | 08:35 |
| sprinkmeier | adante, it sometimes takes a while, how long do you wait ? | 08:35 |
| quibbler | PerJ: question regarding Jaunty should be asked in #ubuntu+1 | 08:35 |
| adante | sprinkmeier: it doesn't restore after about 20 hours | 08:35 |
| qdb | only sda(0,0,0), none partitions of it | 08:35 |
| PerJ | quibbler: ok, thank you | 08:35 |
| adante | sprinkmeier: only time i have gotten it up is when i re-run dhclient from the computer | 08:35 |
| SOIER | hi there, can anybody tell where the packages locates after apt-get installation | 08:36 |
| qdb | when i have entered it, also no inner partitions, said "if you continue, we will write partition table! you are going to use the whole disk!" | 08:36 |
| sprinkmeier | adante, ok... that shouldbe enough time :-) HAL should be telling the system that the eth carrier is back up and should re-start DHCP. what does ethtool say before/during/after unplug? | 08:36 |
| lstarnes | SOIER: dpkg -L packagename | 08:36 |
| qdb | though sda really has soamething like sda1, sda2, sda5, sda6 | 08:36 |

| qdb | yes | 08:39 |
| qdb | there are also ext3 partition | 08:39 |

| qdb | i made once in my computer but now have forgotten how to make it | 08:42 |

| elad` | Dreamglider :) | 08:52 |
| sprinkmeier | disappearedng_, define 'does not work'. USB does not auto-mount? | 08:52 |

| bobbie4_ | . | 08:54 |
| elad` | The what? | 08:55 |
| elad` | Surely there are ways to create keyboard shortcuts, that would work under GNOME, without the built-in, very weak, tool. | 08:55 |
| elad` | (Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts, that is. If there's another tool, I'd like to know.) | 08:56 |
| quibbler | elad`: you could use the configuration editor run gcong-editor in terminal go to /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_1 and define what you want | 08:56 |

| sprinkmeier | disappearedng_, solving the problem from the wrong end.... you waid boot-up mentions a HAL error? HAL = hardware abstraction layer = magic glue that auto-mounts stuff. Fix HAL and the mounting should work again. Can you get the HAL error from /var/log/messages and pastebin it? | 09:11 |

| fieldse | elad` seems there's not much for keyboard shortcuts in GNOME but through configuration editor. There may be an application to do this but I haven't found it yet. Weak, eh? Sounds like someone needs to write an app. | 09:14 |

| quibbler | elad`: criticism is fine but this is a support channel philosophical discuss are better in #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:19 |

| databridge | hello, is there a distribution out there which comes with math and electronics software? | 09:19 |
| tavish | hi again, this is the output of gstreamer-volume-control http://codepad.org/1hDYBwx0 ,, why is it like this, there are no devices too | 09:20 |
| Flannel | databridge: Ubuntu includes that in the repos, which you can easily install | 09:20 |
| databridge | i know, but i was searching for a lab distro | 09:20 |
| elad` | quibbler, very well. | 09:20 |
| Dexi | !flash | 09:20 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 09:20 |
| databridge | all in one for developement | 09:21 |
| Flannel | databridge: Doubtful that there'll be one with all that pre-installed, since its trivial to install it afterwards on your favorite distro (and each lab is likely set up differently anyway) | 09:21 |
| elad` | Now, how do I use gconf-editor to add keyboard shortcuts? I see now connection between those shortcuts and launching programs. | 09:21 |
| databridge | the problem is that i maybe want to use it where i have no internet | 09:21 |
| databridge | so i need to have everything together | 09:21 |
| Flannel | databridge: That's not entirely true. You can bring a supplimental CD with you (or customize the alternate CD) | 09:22 |
| quibbler | elad`: you can read this: http://library.gnome.org/users/gconf-editor/2.22/ | 09:22 |
| Flannel | !aptoncd | databridge | 09:22 |
| ubottu | databridge: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 09:22 |
| databridge | hm | 09:22 |
| Flannel | databridge: or if you want it all on one cd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization | 09:22 |
| databridge | ah ok thanks | 09:22 |
| elad` | I've just done the most idiotic thing ever. I tried to assign Alt+F4 a shortcut - since Alt+F3 was the last one I had. IDIOT. | 09:23 |

| bec0de | hello all | 09:23 |
| === bec0de is now known as Bec0de | ||
| Dexi | oh adobe makes a .deb for flash now | 09:23 |
| elad` | Then, I got all surprised for a second when the window closed as I tried to launch a program with that new shortcut. | 09:24 |
| Bec0de | hi, anyone know an application i can use for screencasting | 09:24 |
| Flannel | !screencast | Bec0de | 09:24 |
| ubottu | Bec0de: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 09:24 |
| Bec0de | thanks alot | 09:24 |
| fieldse | >> Hey All: Dumb IRC question (Please excuse me) Is there a way to disable notifications for users logging into/out of rooms? | 09:24 |
| Bec0de | :) | 09:25 |
| Flannel | fieldse: Yes, but the specifics depend on your client. | 09:25 |
| fieldse | >> IRC client is Xchat | 09:25 |

| fieldse | @flannel - What's yer client of choice then? | 09:28 |
| Flannel | fieldse: irssi | 09:28 |
| quibbler | elad`: what programare you trying to start? | 09:28 |
| fabzor | irssi = 1337 :D | 09:28 |
| fieldse | flannel: seems to be the big todo. What's so good about it? | 09:29 |
| fieldse | flannel: in non-sarcasm, btw | 09:29 |
| fieldse | =) | 09:30 |
| Flannel | fieldse: I think most people use it because they can throw it into screen and then have it last forever type thing. | 09:30 |
| fieldse | eh?? | 09:31 |
| fieldse | What does that mean? | 09:31 |

| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 09:41 |
| magnetron | hypernewbie→ do you get any error messages? | 09:42 |
| soreau | badcat: Looks like you have some sources for debian mixed in. Pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list file | 09:42 |
| harlemdavvey | is linux philosophy pro or against the phenomenon of file sharing? i'm just curious.. | 09:42 |
| jigspan | n2diy: sometimes my ubuntu os stop, i can not use mouse and keyboard | 09:42 |
| hypernewbie | magnetron: no, it gets very low link quality and disconnects after about 5 mins | 09:43 |
| JGodbout | Generally pro file sharing | 09:43 |
| magnetron | harlemdavvey→ we share files with permission | 09:43 |

| magnetron | hypernewbie→ so generally it works, but not with any good quality. maybe you have environmental factors, like interference | 09:44 |
| n2diy | jigspan: that sucks!, not much you can do in that case, have you tried ctrl + alt +F2 to get to a terminal? What dees poff have to do with this? | 09:44 |
| hypernewbie | magnetron: no, because on windows, the signal / link quality is through the roof | 09:45 |
| hypernewbie | magnetron: and when same when i had dapper kubuntu a while ago | 09:45 |
| jigspan | no poff doesnt have anything with that it a diff quastion | 09:46 |
| n2diy | jigspan: it is a good idea to solve one problem at a time. | 09:46 |
| jigspan | n2diy: yes | 09:46 |
| magnetron | hypernewbie→ well the ndiswrapper driver will most probably work less than the opensource driver provided by ubuntu by default | 09:48 |

| fieldse | orchid` : yikes. Best place to start is the forums... you scoured linuxhelp / debian user forums / ubuntu forums / linuxhelp yet? | 09:57 |
| Orchid` | so any idea on what to do Fieldse? i was going to jsut fresh install a new copy of the LTS version, however i cannot figure out how to verify the hash on this Mac OS X | 09:57 |
| Orchid` | hav enot had the time im moving in and out of places at the moment | 09:58 |
| jigspan | n2diy: i first configure pppoe then i manual configure network manager to connect to internet | 09:58 |
| Orchid` | fieldse but if you can help me to get this hash check performed then i wont have a single issue considering msot of the data is retrievable. | 09:59 |
| fieldse | orchid` understood. That is primary place to start, there's always someone who's had same problem if you can find it. But aside from that - download a linux recovery CD and see if you can save it, or else reinstall fresh copy | 09:59 |
| I2 | i guys a simple question....is there a way to automatically answer "y" to the bash ??? | 09:59 |
| ubuntu_ | do i need a swap? | 09:59 |
| fieldse | orchid` don't understand- hash check? | 09:59 |
| sim_kharkov | no! | 09:59 |
| n2diy | jigspan: pppoe is point to point protcol over ethernet, yes? | 09:59 |
| jigspan | n2diy: i know that | 09:59 |
| n2diy | jigspan: good, now I do too! | 10:00 |
| jigspan | n2diy:what? | 10:00 |
| sim_kharkov | Does anyone/anybody... | 10:00 |
| n2diy | jigspan: good, now I do too! Know what pppoe is. | 10:00 |
| sim_kharkov | how to resize fixed size windows?) | 10:00 |
| fieldse | orchid` Don't know about hash check, but download recovery disk, it's full of good stuff. If you know what you're doing you can probably fix it with that. | 10:00 |
| n2diy | jigspan: you said you were using a dial up service, so why are you trying to talk to it with an ethernet connection? | 10:01 |
| fieldse | orchid` http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page | 10:01 |

| joejc | scroll up and youll see my second question was my first question | 10:18 |
| m0nst3rkill3r | yea sorry.. | 10:18 |
| m0nst3rkill3r | http://pastebin.com/m537dbfb7 | 10:18 |
| m0nst3rkill3r | here's the pastebin | 10:18 |
| joejc | making it my 3rtd actuall question | 10:19 |
| bazhang | joejc, how does one get which mobil broadband to work in which scenario with which version of ubuntu to do what (fill in those details) | 10:19 |
| illumin8 | m0nst3rkill3r: do you have deborphan installed | 10:19 |
| illumin8 | m0nst3rkill3r: looks like you have about 5 + orphaned packages, cleaning them up should reslove issues | 10:20 |
| joejc | its a verision usb720 and i want to see if it works at all | 10:20 |
| Slart | joejc: then just repeat your real question every 15 minutes or something.. if you don't get an answer to that question then perhaps you might want to rephrase it.. not into an "anyone" question.. I would add what version of ubuntu you're running.. what kind of mobile broadband you are using, what you've tried so far etc etc | 10:20 |
| m0nst3rkill3r | how ? | 10:20 |
| illumin8 | m0nst3rkill3r: sudo apt-get install deborphan | 10:20 |
| bazhang | joejc, with ubuntu? as a wireless device connected to your computer? to sync? to do what | 10:20 |
| m0nst3rkill3r | okay thx | 10:20 |
| mcbane | hi | 10:21 |
| joejc | for internet | 10:21 |
| m0nst3rkill3r | yay thx it works :D | 10:21 |
| mcbane | what do I have to put in the fstab that the device gets mounted at boot time? | 10:21 |
| illumin8 | m0nst3rkill3r: welcome, enjoy | 10:21 |
| bazhang | joejc, no idea as you did not answer my query clearly. | 10:21 |
| Slart | mcbane: entries in fstab gets mounted at boot time.. if they are specified correctly and so on.. | 10:21 |
| luk411 | luk411 | 10:22 |
| luk411 | hay | 10:22 |
| mcbane | Slart: thanks. I think I just found the real problem. LVM does not know the volume group. Thanks | 10:22 |
| illumin8 | mcbane: the general rule of thumb is the UUID and the mount location if thats what you mean | 10:22 |
| luk411 | wie geht? | 10:22 |
| moijk | hi. currently my sound card is making a repeat sound which is rather annoying, and I want to run an reset on alsa. it asks for a card, but how do I find what the card name is? | 10:22 |
| Slart | mcbane: ah..=) | 10:22 |

| Slart | moijk: alsa is a weird beast.. I've never used alsa-utils to reset a card.. I didn't even know you could do that.. what is the error message? | 10:26 |
| illumin8 | joejc: is it plugged in currently? | 10:26 |
| Slart | m0nst3rkill3r: hmm.. perhaps .bashrc or similar file might be useful | 10:26 |
| joejc | no | 10:27 |
| joejc | it was | 10:27 |
| illumin8 | joejc: could you plug it in then type lsusb in terminal please | 10:27 |
| moijk | Slart: amixer that is invoked say it is an ivalid card number. how would you suggest to reset the card? | 10:27 |
| joejc | it shows up | 10:27 |
| illumin8 | joejc: so you just need an interface for it? | 10:27 |
| Slart | m0nst3rkill3r: but that might be run every time you start a shell.. not sure | 10:27 |
| mrwes | quibbler, thanks | 10:28 |
| joejc | i think the interface works | 10:28 |

| Slart | moijk: can you pastebin a copy paste of the terminal window where you tried this? | 10:29 |
| joejc | if i use the correct number it doesnt connect | 10:29 |

| moijk | Slart: same error, I'm afraid | 10:35 |
| slavik2 | Xukun, you'd need kill-a-watt or something of the sort | 10:36 |
| Slart | moijk: if you look at the init.d script you're running it is doing all kinds of stuff using the command alsactl.. it's probably all those calls that fail for some reason | 10:36 |

| rdz | mmm4m5m, usually the dev noces /dev/sdxX are de | 11:22 |
| greenS | i type in the command "sudo echo "lenovo-sl-laptop.ko control_backlight=1" >> /etc/modules | 11:22 |
| greenS | " | 11:22 |
| greenS | the answer is "permission denied" | 11:23 |
| rdz | mmm4m5m, usually the /dev/sdxX files are device nodes and not directories | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | zardosh: simple | 11:23 |
| rdz | mmm4m5m, what did oyu do so that /dev/sda1 is a direcotry? i haven't seen that before | 11:23 |
| joetromondo | Hi, how do I find my NTFS drives in /dev | 11:23 |
| zardosh | is there any solution to multiple files with just single find command | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | zardosh: you sure you want MOVE ? | 11:23 |
| greenS | what is wrong? how to type it right? | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | joetromondo: sudo fdisk -l | 11:23 |
| mmm4m5m | Question please: will this work (it is the right way: $mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1; mount -bind /media/sda1/dir /media/sda1_dir | 11:23 |
| joetromondo | ActionParsnip: Thanks | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | greenS: then you need sudo | 11:24 |
| zardosh | ActionParsnip : i just want to find and move them | 11:24 |
| greenS | but i typed sudo in front of the command | 11:24 |
| greenS | "sudo echo "lenovo-sl-laptop.ko control_backlight=1" >> /etc/modules | 11:24 |
| greenS | " | 11:24 |
| rdz | greenS, that doesn't work,because after the >> you don't have sudo privileges anymore | 11:25 |
| devon | ActionParsnip: i want to install the symbol browser plugin for gedit.. how do i do that? | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | zardosh: ok i'm just checking yuo dont mean copy | 11:25 |
| rdz | greenS, you would either have to work with 'sudo tee' or first becoming sudo and then do it again | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | devon: i'm unsure, that guide seemed ok but i dont use gedit, maybe someone else can pitch in | 11:25 |
| zardosh | just wonder is there any solution to find multiple files with just single find command? | 11:26 |
| devon | anyone here use gedit and can help me? <<--- | 11:26 |

| rdz | mmm4m5m, you cannot mount dirs to dirs.. you can only mount device nodes to dirs | 11:26 |
| rdz | mmm4m5m, why the hell is /dev/sda1 a directory on your machine? | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | zardosh: find ~/ -name "*.jpg" -exec mv {} ~/images \; | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | zardosh: then rerun but change .jpg for .gif | 11:27 |
| rdz | mmm4m5m, it doesn't help to repeat the exact questions again without answering the other questions | 11:27 |
| rdz | devon, don't ask to ask.. just ask | 11:27 |
| devon | i asked | 11:27 |
| zardosh | ActionParsnip : thanx sound working :) | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | zardosh: im not sure how to find jpg AND gif, but you can easily run 2 seperate comands | 11:27 |
| mmm4m5m | rdz: what are "the other questions"? | 11:28 |
| rdz | devon, sorry.. then i missed your question | 11:28 |
| devon | how do i install symbol browser on gedit? (rdz) | 11:28 |
| devon | (i seem to miss the gedit folder in .gnome2) | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | greenS: just use gksudo gedit /etc/modules and paste the text in yourself | 11:28 |
| rdz | mmm4m5m, how comes, that on your system the file /dev/sda1 is a direcory and not a device node? did you do anything special? did you create the directory yourself? | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | rdz: ounds lke he's ran sudo touch /dev/sda1 | 11:29 |
| joetromondo | Hi, im trying to recover my grub here but when I do the "find /boot/grub/stage1" it says file not found. I already tried the "find /grub/stage1" and did not work. an ideas? | 11:29 |
| devon | rdz: so can you help me with gedit | 11:29 |
| devon | ? | 11:29 |
| Incarus | rdz, he could remove the directory and restart system | 11:29 |
| mmm4m5m | rdz: it is not a directory. I think I know the answer now. First I have to mount device... after that I could use $mount --bind | 11:29 |

| WebGuest1 | Howdy all | 12:07 |
| Incarus | emremtemp, no, try somethin linke ctrl+F2 or alt+f4, so you could find out, if they are working | 12:07 |
| Nalf | ActionParsnip: Thanks again. Rebooting. | 12:08 |
| hamidlogis | hello | 12:08 |
| Incarus | mzuverink, you can run alsamixer and turn off pc speakers | 12:08 |
| hamidlogis | i have a problem with rar | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Nalf: np | 12:08 |
| WebGuest1 | I am dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I mainly use Ubuntu, However I would like to have a seerate partition for my documents, to be shared between ubuntu and Windows. What format would be best for this partition? | 12:09 |
| emretemp | Incarus, umm i as alking about the special "function" button on laptops for screen brightness or LCD/Crt selection , volume management etc. | 12:09 |
| mzuverink | Incarus, I will give that a try, is that something I need to ad? | 12:09 |
| silv3r_m00n | what are the gui mysql clients available | 12:09 |
| emretemp | * i was talking about* | 12:09 |
| hamidlogis | i´ve downloaded a file splited in three part with winrar but i am in ubuntu | 12:09 |
| Incarus | mzuverink, no, just start in the console | 12:09 |
| Incarus | emretemp, k, no chance i think, you could update your system | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !rar | hamidlogis | 12:09 |
| ubottu | hamidlogis: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 12:09 |
| mzuverink | Incarus, thank you very nuch | 12:09 |
| mzuverink | Much | 12:09 |
| Incarus | hamidlogis, you can start winrar in wine | 12:10 |
| emretemp | Incarus, "update" ? hmm i got the lastest ubuntu (8.10) | 12:10 |
| Incarus | mzuverink, np | 12:10 |
| hamidlogis | i can open the file but i cant extract | 12:10 |
| Incarus | emretemp, yes, but apt-get upgrade will install also later updates for your system | 12:10 |
| emretemp | Incarus, yup i am doing updates regularly. still no luck on those function keys. | 12:10 |
| Incarus | k | 12:11 |
| mzuverink | Incarus, that did not work, only master listed there, thanks though | 12:11 |

| sudhi | Is there a forum or article which helps debug monitor related issues when installing ubuntu? I am not able get my Samtron monitor working yet | 12:13 |
| Incarus | sudhi, is ubuntu allready installed? | 12:13 |
| sudhi | yes I installed it but not able to get it started | 12:13 |
| WebGuest1 | I can't use any ext systems, because windows doesn't have brilliant compatability with them | 12:14 |
| sudhi | it hangs with a blank screen and a mouse pointer | 12:14 |
| WebGuest1 | fat32 is pretty old | 12:14 |
| WebGuest1 | which leads me to using NTFS, is this it best choice? | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sudhi: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify the burned cd was ok on the first screen | 12:14 |
| emretemp | WebGuest1, u can use ntfs. Im using one of my partitions with that format. so far so good. running without any problem. | 12:15 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there ... what command can I use to find the mac address of a lan machine whose ip is known ? | 12:15 |
| sudhi | yes verified | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | sudhi: boot to recovery root console (esc hen grub loads, select recovery mode, then select root). then when you are at console type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 12:15 |
| hamidlogis | thank you guys | 12:15 |
| Incarus | sudhi, start a live cd and mount the partition, there ubuntu is installed and edit in /mount/sdaX/etc/X11/xorg.conf by "device" the line "DRIVER" to "vesa", or add a line <<DRIVER "vesa">> at Dervie section | 12:16 |
| sudhi | yes I did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that gave only keyboard configuration related screens and not monitor related one's strange but that is what it gave | 12:16 |
| Nalf | ActionParsnip, now I broke X, yay! | 12:16 |
| Incarus | silv3r_m00n, "sudo ifconfig" | 12:17 |
| silv3r_m00n | Incarus: can I know a little more than that | 12:17 |
| emretemp | xorg file automatically backups, check /etc/X11 if there are older backups of xorg file | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Nalf: nice, looks like you will be having fun for a while | 12:17 |
| Incarus | silv3r_m00n, what? | 12:17 |
| emretemp | if so restore one of them | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Nalf: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 12:17 |
| Nalf | ActionParsnip, emretemp: I was going to do that and use a backup config file. | 12:18 |
| sudhi | ok thanks I will try that an get back ... | 12:18 |
| 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... | 12:18 |
| Incarus | silv3r_m00n, oh, you want to look up the mac address of another computer? | 12:18 |
| 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 for vesa. Questions: 1: is this true and 2: what exactly... | 12:18 |
| clueneeded | ...do I put in the xorg.conf file? | 12:18 |
| Nalf | ActionParsnip, emretemp: All I did was activate the fglrx.. or flgrx whatever it is.. proprietary driver for my ati cards and it broke. | 12:18 |
| FloodBot1 | clueneeded: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:18 |
| silv3r_m00n | Incarus: yes | 12:18 |
| emretemp | if u used the driver comes within ubuntu, then u can deactive that | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !ati | nalf | 12:19 |
| Nalf | emretemp: Mind telling me how? | 12:19 |
| ubottu | nalf: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 12:19 |
| emretemp | from system/Administrotion/hardware drives click here and select deactive | 12:19 |

| Nalf | ActionParsnip, I have a radeonhd, heh.. two actually.. and it's dvi not vga. | 12:20 |
| picca | anyone here find firefox in ubuntu is very sluggish and slow to respond to keyboard strokes - is this because of flash player ? | 12:20 |
| emretemp | if you want to remove flgrx driver try check /usr/share/ati there must be a sh file you can run to uninstall that | 12:20 |
| Incarus | clueneeded, you can install the updates with "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get upgarde"? | 12:20 |
| emretemp | if u install that via apt-get u can also remove that with apt-get remove flgrx | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Nalf: should be the same driver: if youu run: lspci | grep -i vga | 12:20 |
| Incarus | clueneeded, are you running jaunty? | 12:20 |
| clueneeded | Incarus: i have tried that... the updates will not install | 12:20 |

| Incarus | picca, x86 or x64? you can install the noscript plugin, or something like that | 12:22 |
| clueneeded | tried editing xorg.conf to make it recognise i have an intel card... that caused ubuntu to barf and ask me to redo the configuration back a gain | 12:22 |

| ActionParsnip | k0rf: try nodma | 12:33 |
| cypher1 | weatherkid, try whereis xinetd | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | k0rf: maybe you could make the bootup not show splash so you can see the bootup | 12:34 |
| * weatherkid smacks himself for just doing that with another app | 12:34 | |
| weatherkid | ty | 12:34 |
| k0rf | ActionParsnip: yes is that the VGA=771 command?? | 12:35 |
| cypher1 | weatherkid, you are welcome | 12:36 |
| weatherkid | cypher1: its not telling me it is just saying xinetd: | 12:36 |
| weatherkid | which is kinda shocking for whereis | 12:36 |
| clueneeded | OK... I think i will change the question. I understand that 915resolution is something i should install. when i look for it in synaptic, it does not get it or install it. What is another way to install 915resolution? | 12:37 |
| cypher1 | weatherkid, do you have xinetd installed | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | k0rf: remove the word splash from /boot/grub/menu.list for your kernel | 12:37 |

| DizzyDoo | Hi, trying to change my Ubuntu server box from a DHCP setting to a Static IP. I've tried the various tutorials found via google, but none of them seem to work. Could someone walk me through what to do? | 12:41 |
| sjokkis | hi. i get a grub error 2 immediately as grub tries to start. after "Grub loading, please wait...", and before the usual "Stage 1.5 loaded" (or whatever it is) | 12:41 |
| sjokkis | it's with a completely fresh install of ubuntu from a memory stick. the box has both IDE and SATA drives (through a controller card) | 12:41 |
| weatherkid | so you need to kill the update if you want to install this | 12:41 |
| LurkersA | ~clueneeded, is there another package utility open? Is the update icon showing updates? Synaptic Open? Add/remove open? | 12:41 |
| acicula | DizzyDoo: via gui or manual? | 12:41 |

| acicula | DizzyDoo: set in /etc/network/interfaces | 12:43 |
| LurkersA | clueneeded, but you aren't getting locked out anymore? | 12:43 |

| LurkersA | perlmonkey, is it intermittant, or just not working? | 12:44 |
| perlmonkey | no sound at all on any application, worked fine in previous Ubuntu versions | 12:44 |
| acicula | DizzyDoo: actually maybe you can use a command line configurator, but i wouldnt know which one | 12:44 |
| LurkersA | clueneeded, Thats one problem solved then :) Not sure about the rest though :) | 12:44 |

| Lieserl | hi, i am a beginner in linux stuff and i have a problem | 12:45 |
| acicula | DizzyDoo: tried man interfaces ? | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ask the rool Lieserl it will respond if it can help | 12:46 |
| DizzyDoo | acicula: No idea what that is, I'm afraid | 12:46 |
| Lieserl | i have just installed ubuntu 8.10, and when i`m trying to watch a video (with any program) it's crashes | 12:46 |
| sjokkis | ActionParsnip: well, yes. i'm pretty sure grub is looking at the wrong drive. it's probably ordering the SATA and PATA drives the wrong way or something | 12:46 |
| sjokkis | but i can't even get a grub prompt, so i'm not sure how to fix it | 12:46 |
| vjacob | what's the fastest and easiest way to transfer very big files from one Mac OS X computer to a Linux computer? | 12:47 |

| * Nalf kicks X. | 12:47 | |
| acicula | DizzyDoo: the manual explaining interfaces, but are you sure you cant use a gui to configure stuff for you? | 12:47 |

| Slart | vjacob: removable hard drive.. | 12:47 |
| sjokkis | ActionParsnip: i have no way to configure grub here | 12:48 |

| * mneptok blinks | 12:48 | |
| clueneeded | I have found the 915resolution file, extracted it with archive manager into a folder called "915resolution" in Documents. What is the correct command to make it install? | 12:48 |
| mneptok | Slart: sftp is far safer, and far easier to set up | 12:49 |
| mneptok | vjacob: and SFTP is your answer | 12:49 |
| clueneeded | actually 915resolution-0.5.3 | 12:49 |
| Lieserl | any help for me, please? i have google-it but i can'd find out what to do | 12:49 |
| Slart | mneptok: agree that it's safer.. but.. is it easier than ftp? | 12:49 |
| mneptok | Slart: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 12:50 |
| mneptok | Slart: done. | 12:50 |
| damaltor | hey everybody. does anyone know about the "raptor gaming mouse M3 Platinum", if it is working nicely with linux?? | 12:50 |
| jacek | Hey everyone!! | 12:50 |
| Slart | mneptok: ah.. that ... does indeed look very easy... sounds like even I could do that =) | 12:50 |
| Snicks|TWw | i got a little question: i'm looking in my system-monitor, looking at the memory maps; what does heap mean? it got a lot of 'private dirty' in firefox, i suppose it will be used well, but just wondering what it is ;) | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Lieserl: from root recovery console run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 12:51 |
| vjacob | thanks, I don't have one. The quickest for me was: Turn on ftp in Mac OS X and use built-in gFTP to transfer :) | 12:51 |
| mneptok | Slart: *i* can do it befoee morning coffee. if that's possible, i have stuff growing on my shower curtain that could do it. ;) | 12:51 |
| devon | hey i need help creating a custom app launcher | 12:51 |
| Slart | mneptok: :D | 12:51 |
| sjokkis | ActionParsnip: yeah. i guess i'll have to find a cd-player somewhere. thanks | 12:51 |
| clueneeded | I have found the 915resolution file, extracted it with archive manager into a folder called "915resolution-0.5.3" in Documents. What is the correct command to make it install? | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | sjokkis: or boot fro a cd key with a live cd on it | 12:52 |
| Lieserl | ActionParsnip: what's the root recovery console? | 12:52 |
| mneptok | Slart: OSX has an ssh server by default. you just have to toggle it on via a GUI to use it. | 12:52 |
| eMaX | hi all, | 12:52 |
| Snicks|TWw | devon, rightclick your panel, click: add to panel, custom application launcher and should be done ;) | 12:52 |
| sjokkis | ActionParsnip: i've been trying that | 12:52 |
| sjokkis | no joy | 12:52 |
| eMaX | when I add a memorystick to my laptop, fspot opens automatically. Can I change that in favor of another application? | 12:53 |
| devon | Snicks|TWw: yeah the problem is the commend im entering doesnt work.. | 12:53 |
| Cheery | hi, I'd need to find out 32bit version of libgtk-1.2.so.0 for my 64bit machine, anyone knows where to get that from? | 12:53 |
| devon | Desktop$ gedit /home/kostia/Projects/Franco/src/*.cpp | 12:53 |
| mneptok | eMaX: i assume this is flash memory with photos on it? | 12:53 |
| eMaX | yes | 12:53 |
| Slart | Cheery: packages.ubuntu.com might be one place | 12:53 |
| mneptok | eMaX: /query ? | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheery: you need a 32bit version of libgtk1.2 | 12:53 |
| Snicks|TWw | at least you shouldn't add the Desktop$ devon | 12:54 |
| devon | i dont | 12:54 |
| devon | i copyed that by mistake | 12:54 |
| Snicks|TWw | ah, all right :) | 12:54 |
| devon | gedit /home/kostia/Projects/Franco/src/*.cpp | 12:54 |
| devon | but it opens *.cpp instead of all the cpp files | 12:54 |
| Snicks|TWw | devon, if you do that in terminal, it works all right? | 12:54 |
| devon | yup | 12:55 |
| platius | clueneeded; I found the 915resolution in synaptics package manager | 12:55 |
| Cheery | ActionParsnip: how to get that? | 12:55 |
| clueneeded | platius: when i go to synaptics and type in 915resolution, there is no response | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | devon: cd ~/Projects/Franco/src; for for i in *.cpp; do gedit $i | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheery: head to the packages site on ubuntu and manually download the package then install it | 12:56 |
| platius | clueneeded; let me check what repo it is in I am in hardy | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Cheery: this may break your system, so its your own risk | 12:56 |
| clueneeded | i am in intreped | 12:57 |
| Cheery | can I scavenge the package to get the lib? | 12:57 |

| itona | Hi world, how may I change the behavior of the console so that i can autocomplete commands with <TAB> instead of <Ctrl-R> | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | for for i in *.cpp; do gedit $i; done | 12:59 |
| mrglinux | ? | 12:59 |
| mrglinux | how can I? | 12:59 |
| itona | Yes.. may -> can | 12:59 |
| sdf2 | !pulseaudio | 13:00 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | devon: use the command cd to change the directory your terminal is pointing to | 13:00 |
| jrib | devon: right. weird that you are writing a launcher like that. Anyway, write a shell script and launch that script instead | 13:00 |
| devon | bash: syntax error near unexpected token `i' | 13:00 |
| Slart | itona: hmm.. it 's tab by default for me.. what version are you running? | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | devon: for i in *.cpp; do gedit $i; done | 13:00 |

| jrib | devon: put the commands in a text file, make the first line "#!/bin/bash" | 13:01 |

| perlmonkey | Ubuntu 8.04, no audio (in any application) worked fine in previous versions.. any ideas? Using C-Media card | 13:01 |
| Lieserl | ActionParsnip: i`ve got the same error ... | 13:01 |
| platius | clueneeded; when I search for 915 in intrepid it returns an xserver for intel video. Perhaps that is all you need? | 13:01 |
| Slart | itona: and tab doesn't autocomplete for you? | 13:01 |
| itona | Slart: no... | 13:02 |
| Lieserl | ActionParsnip : it did't work | 13:02 |
| Slart | itona: ctrl+r does reverse search for me | 13:02 |
| itona | for me as wll | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Lieserl: did you rest xorg.conf with dpkg-reconfigure | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | *reset | 13:02 |
| Lieserl | yes | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ok | 13:02 |

| devon | jrib: wine tryes to lunch the script.. and it says no "no windows program.." | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | devon: is the script a linux shell script or something else? | 13:04 |
| clueneeded | wait a minute... i looked for "intel" in synaptic and it gave me some xserver thing... I am installing it to see what happens | 13:04 |
| devon | shell | 13:04 |
| jrib | devon: wine tries to launch the script by itself randomly? Or do you do something? | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | devon: then it doesnt need wine, shell scripts run with the linux shell | 13:05 |
| gohmifune | jrib: what happens then? am I taken to the login screen? | 13:05 |
| jrib | gohmifune: yes | 13:05 |
| jrib | gohmifune: though I'm not sure what you mean by "stuck in the text-only login". How did you get stuck? | 13:05 |
| devon | ActionParsnip, jrib: as soon as i make a new sh, it makes it a wine file | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | devon: in terminal, cd to where the script is and run: sh ./<script name> | 13:06 |

| ActionParsnip | devon: then remove the file extension, its not necesssary | 13:06 |
| devon | ActionParsnip: even without the extention | 13:06 |
| jrib | gohmifune: why? because you didn't install the desktop version or ...? | 13:06 |

| clueneeded | there is one i have broght up before that had me configure the keyboard first - and it was supposed to bring up the video resulution screens too, | 13:26 |
| Dillizar | !sudo | 13:27 |
| 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) | 13:27 |
| jrib | jamil_1: I don't know. See if it still works if you logout and back in | 13:27 |
| jrib | keeley: what? | 13:27 |
| jrib | jamil_1: you can start specific X apps over ssh if you want. But if you want to run full blown X, then use vnc | 13:27 |
| C-S-B | !gksu | 13:28 |
| 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) | 13:28 |
| jrib | keeley: you can start specific X apps over ssh if you want. But if you want to run full blown X, then use vnc | 13:28 |

| sdf2 | how to setp mic with pulseaudio? | 13:31 |
| jrib | jamil_1: you'll probably have to find the gconf key for the window managery and make sure metacity is getting used (this is what should happen with "none" visual effects) | 13:31 |
| perlmonkey | hi | 13:32 |
| keeley | to jrib, i use putty on ubuntu, but in terminal what is the command : "ssh -X ...?" my server is 192.168.3.4:22 | 13:32 |
| hampster | I thought remaster was for doing ubuntu with GUI ? | 13:32 |
| jrib | keeley: ssh -X user@host | 13:32 |
| Dillizar | how can i change the root password | 13:32 |
| keeley | thanks ;) | 13:32 |
| sjokkis | jrib: okay. so using the alternative cd i've managed to start a shell on the drive with ubuntu installed. however, when i try to open a grub prompt it doesn't recognize the terminal (bterm). what to do? | 13:32 |
| jrib | !root | Dillizar | 13:32 |
| ubottu | Dillizar: 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 | 13:32 |
| jamil_1 | jrib: Where can i find it ? | 13:32 |
| perlmonkey | drwsr-sr-x <-- my home folder has changed permissions. is the "s" instead of "x" likely to cause problems? | 13:32 |

| Dillizar | jrib, i know that but can i change just the sudo and not the user's log in password | 13:33 |
| jrib | perlmonkey: setgid on a directory will just cause files created under that directory to have the same group | 13:34 |
| jrib | Dillizar: why would you want to do that? | 13:34 |
| keeley | to jrib i launch "ssh -X xxx@xxx" and work... but when I try to launch "startx" > "X: user not authorized to run the x server... xinit: Server error" | 13:34 |

| jrib | keeley: erm, didn't we discuss this already? | 13:35 |
| Dillizar | jrib, cuz i can let my sister use the pc! but she is installing some programs i dont want to install and she can f*** up my pc | 13:35 |
| jrib | Dillizar: create an account for her without sudo privileges | 13:35 |
| Dillizar | jrib, that will make my ubuntu run slower | 13:36 |
| jrib | Dillizar: no it won't | 13:36 |
| Dillizar | jrib, hmm its not possible to change just the sudo pass | 13:36 |
| jrib | Dillizar: you can read "man sudoers" if you wish, but I recommend you just create an account for her | 13:37 |

| mib_y5s7nuiq | HI all, I'm hoping for some fairly newbie install advice. I have anetbook with a 4 gig and a 16 gig drive - what's my best install option in terms of partitioning? | 13:43 |
| yossarian | or is there a way in ubuntu to switch between soundcards? | 13:43 |
| mib_y5s7nuiq | i have stuck it on the 4 but i keep running out of space | 13:43 |
| mib_y5s7nuiq | can i "map" some of the significant folders to the 16? | 13:43 |
| mib_y5s7nuiq | (I'm totally clueless as to what the user folders in Ubuntu are) | 13:44 |
| perlmonkey | mib_y5s7nuiq: use 16 for the main root and home, and mount the 4GB for swap and other minor directories? | 13:44 |
| gabriel | in gnome, is there any way to change the task bar apparance, making it shiny and nice like in kde? can themes do that? | 13:44 |
| mib_y5s7nuiq | do i need the whole 4 for swap? | 13:44 |
| chrissyRO | Where do I start to make my webcam work? It is firewire. | 13:44 |
| LSD200 | mib_y5s7nuiq: is this a set in stone 4GB and 16GB or could you re-do the partitioning completely on install and let ubuntu decide what to do? | 13:45 |
| mib_y5s7nuiq | no - seems to be 2 separate drives for some reason | 13:45 |
| perlmonkey | mib_y5s7nuiqmib_y5s7nuiq: no only around 500MB but depends on how much Ram you got | 13:45 |
| mib_y5s7nuiq | think a gig of ram | 13:45 |
| mib_y5s7nuiq | maybe 512 | 13:45 |

| nomasteryoda | and run cheese to see what you get with the cam | 13:48 |
| perlmonkey | mib_y5s7nuiq: another way to do it might be to use 4GB as the main root filesystem if you're running a tight ship/minimum install, and then use 16GB mounted as home if you need a lot of personal file storage.. but perhaps using 16GB as the main drive is a better option to prevent running out of space on upgrades etc | 13:48 |

| nomasteryoda | chrissyRO, it will tell you if it is detected properly | 13:49 |
| perlmonkey | mib_y5s7nuiq: I would do the guided partitioning on install and let Ubuntu decide how much swap etc you need, then just use the 4GB free space on spare drive to save space on 16GB by mounting it as whatever folder(s) you think could be stored on it, you don't need to decide that at the time of installation | 13:50 |

| acicula | fallenangel: heu, not sure if there is an option for that, not configuring the network might maybe? | 14:14 |
| gabriel | ShackJack: thank u... so, i don't need to install tightVNC for linux then? It's enough with just the build in ubuntu remote deskotp feature? On what port do I connect to get the java applet remote desktop? | 14:15 |

| echosystm | how do you see all the stuff that has gone off the screen | 14:16 |
| ShackJack | gabriel: Nope, just need to enable on VNC... the port choice is up to you, but I think ppl default to 5900.. You want to turn off desktop effects on Ubuntu though... | 14:16 |

| ShackJack | axisys: intrl -> usa key - I don't know what you mean? | 14:17 |
| axisys | echosystm: pageup | 14:17 |
| acicula | fallenangel: using a local mirror or a remote ? | 14:17 |
| axisys | ShackJack: Keyboard model shows Generic 105-key (Intl) PC and Selected Layout is USA as default | 14:18 |
| fallenangel | I have downloaded an iso , it simply gets to the "configuring apt " stage and says scanning mirrors I assume that means the default repo's | 14:18 |
| ShackJack | axisys: Ahhh... If you click the plus key you can add/customize other layouts... | 14:18 |
| echosystm | nevermind, i got it | 14:18 |

| acicula | fallenangel: dunno, it scans the cd at some point i think, but additional repo's only after network is setup | 14:19 |
| gabriel | ShackJack: hmm i do have the compiz effects enabled... doesn't VNC turn them off in remote desktop mode? | 14:19 |
| ShackJack | gabriel: I'm not sure about now... I had tried in the past and it affected performance... maybe that's changed... | 14:20 |
| DrGhoul_ | how do I rescue a broken usb flash drive that is recognized by lsusb and in dmesg and /var/log/messages as sdi, but doesn't show up in fdisk -l or parted (Error: Error opening /dev/sdi: No medium found). | 14:20 |
| gabriel | thanks | 14:20 |
| fallenangel | gabriel: no vnc is pure pass through of whats there | 14:20 |

| pmitros | Does anyone know where I can set up PPP under Intrepid, the right way? I found some things under "Network Connections/Mobile Broadband", but it only allows one to select AT&T and TMobile cell phones, not arbitrary PPP. | 14:21 |
| pmitros | I'm trying to connect to the Internet through my cell, which uses PPP, but it is a regional carrier. | 14:22 |
| mon | ok | 14:22 |
| pmitros | Guess not. Logging off. I'll try another experiment. | 14:23 |
| recon69 | anyone know whats up with ubuntu 8.04 , seems that it's unstable, when i put my computer under strain I get lots of strange things happening. like firefox and other program spontaneously crashing. | 14:24 |
| axisys | ShackJack: i like the USA layout.. i wish i could change the Keyboard Model to USA . | 14:25 |
| emretemp | is there a way to figure out why gnome applet panel keeps crashing? a log file perhaps? | 14:25 |
| ShackJack | axisys: The model is really tied to the hardware, not the country.... The layout is where you get into those funny characters, etc... :) | 14:26 |
| gohmifune | jrib: My screen partially boots, then goes blank | 14:26 |
| axisys | ShackJack: i know during install u can change the keyboard model.. i guess it is little too late now :-) | 14:26 |

| mirko_ | i get error message cp: writing `sources/vim-7.2-fixes-3.patch': No space left on device | 14:27 |
| jrib | gohmifune: if your internet is up, you could just use irssi to chat in the text login | 14:27 |
| ShackJack | axisys: Or run the dpkg-reconfigure on the keyboard settings... | 14:27 |
| mirko_ | is there some default space limitiation for additional users in ubuntu | 14:27 |
| Administrator_ | what's gnucash? | 14:27 |
| Agion | does anyone know how to fix wine's USB keyboard problem while playing games? When I open for example Counterstrike source my keyboard isn't recognised. Any helps? | 14:28 |
| axisys | ShackJack: yep.. so what is the keyboard pkg name ? | 14:28 |
| klaidas | is there any way to launch opengl programs in a terminal environment-without X? | 14:28 |
| acicula | mirko_: ussually means the disk is full? | 14:28 |
| ShackJack | Administrator_: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gnucash | 14:28 |
| mirko_ | is this a good place to pose this question | 14:28 |
| mirko_ | yes it ussauly means that | 14:28 |

| gohmifune | jrib: I'm on wifi, no interenet, unless there is something I don't know | 14:28 |
| mirko_ | but I'm able to copy as root | 14:28 |
| spoogly | gnucash is a financial management app like quicken that runs on linux | 14:28 |
| acicula | mirko_: no limitations, unless you use quota's i think | 14:28 |
| mirko_ | or as meself | 14:28 |
| acicula | mirko_: that is correct | 14:28 |
| tk3 | hi all - is there a trick to running a 22" LCD monitor (native res of 1680x1050) at a lower resolution with xorg on ubuntu? every time I change the screen resolution using the graphical dialogue, the display is garbled and redrawing erratically / in waves. any thoughts? | 14:28 |
| tk3 | i want to use it at a lower res as it's far away from me in a living room... | 14:28 |
| acicula | mirko_: by default 5% of space is reserved for root | 14:29 |
| gohmifune | jrib: do you just want me to paste them into the pastebin, that it? | 14:29 |
| jrib | gohmifune: right, they'll be different now | 14:29 |
| mirko_ | how can I check space available to users | 14:29 |
| acicula | mirko_: df -h | 14:29 |
| fallenangel | this is just stupid ... I have now ever tried a completely different version and same deal 28% ... and it hangs there has to be a way to not scan | 14:29 |
| fallenangel | I understand that the ubuntu installer wants to make it nice and friendly but every other distro lets me choose to skip steps like this | 14:30 |

| smelian | please how can i open windows share folder in ubuntu ? ( i see my folder inside network but when i click on it its need user + pass + domain name and i dont have domain | 14:31 |
| jrib | gohmifune: /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 14:31 |
| mirko_ | it appears that problem is that i have created mounting point in dev directory which mounts directory in my home | 14:31 |
| mirko_ | and dev is limited to 505 mb | 14:32 |
| mirko_ | can I change that | 14:32 |
| ShackJack | tk3: Shoudn't be... But As far as garbled... I might play with different refresh rates... And if you have ATI/Nvidia perhaps install restrcited drivers... Screen Res can be found under Preferences... | 14:32 |
| gohmifune | jrib: they are up | 14:33 |

| ramontayag | hi all. any reason I only occassionally (most of the time actually) get "Connection refused" when I try to connect via ssh to a server? When I keep trying though I get through sometimes. Can a slow internet connection cause this? | 14:34 |

| racecar56 | hello everyone, i have a really weird problem, i have an old floppy drive (yes, on my new computer) and it dosen't work on ubuntu, but it works as nice as it does on windows on debian, what is wrong? | 14:35 |
| jrib | gohmifune: hrmm. ANd ctrl-alt-f7 doesn't have X? | 14:35 |
| acicula | ramontayag: is it a shared system? ussually it means that the server responded with a rst i think | 14:35 |
| ramontayag | nope, vps. what's rst? | 14:35 |
| tk3 | ShackJack: it's an on-board intel chipset. seems like it doesn't like the "act" of switching because the panel appears to support other resolutions based on http://pastebin.com/d69f9a835 | 14:35 |
| gohmifune | jrib: nope, I get the cross cursor, at the right resolution, but after that, nada | 14:36 |
| acicula | ramontayag: basicly says that no service is running at that port | 14:36 |
| acicula | ramontayag: i suppose a slow network connection can also cause the message, does it take long to appear? | 14:36 |
| racecar56 | !floppy | 14:36 |
| ubottu | To mount floppy disks, see here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone | 14:36 |
| ramontayag | acicula: hmm.. but if I keep trying I'm able to connect :) and I made the iptable and set ssh to accept at a certain port | 14:36 |
| jrib | gohmifune: erm, you haven't done anything else trying to get X to work? | 14:36 |
| acicula | ramontayag: try pinging your server | 14:37 |
| gohmifune | jrib: nothing you haven't said to do | 14:37 |
| ramontayag | acicula: the connection refused appears about 1 second later | 14:37 |
| ShackJack | tk3: Not sure what you're showing me... You should be able to switch resolutions via prefs and/or add the desired resolutions to your xorg... | 14:37 |
| racecar56 | /dev/fd0 dosen't exist.... | 14:37 |
| ramontayag | will ping now :) | 14:37 |
| tk3 | ShackJack: output of xrandr | 14:37 |
| ShackJack | So you can't go to prefs and select the appropriate res/refresh? | 14:38 |
| jrib | gohmifune: ok, I don't see why nv would not be working, but try setting the driver to vesa | 14:38 |
| ShackJack | tk3: ^ | 14:38 |
| LimeBurst | hellp guys@ | 14:38 |
| LimeBurst | hello guys! | 14:38 |
| gohmifune | jrib: how do I do that, it didn't give me options. | 14:38 |
| LimeBurst | amazing typo. huh? | 14:38 |
| fallenangel | heh ok .. well when i select back on the proxy choice and try and skip the package management config it simply doesn't let me it takes me to the same point | 14:39 |
| fallenangel | I have a deadline to meet and atm ubuntu is commingup as the lamest distro i have installed and I have added allot lol , the simple process of mabey allowing a skip if it can't get to the repo I guess was too logical | 14:39 |
| ramontayag | acicula: this is weird... in one terminal i logged in the server via ssh. in the other i try to ping it and I get 100% packet loss. the first terminal windows works fine though.. I can type and run stuff on the server. | 14:39 |
| jrib | gohmifune: Driver "vesa" for the device section | 14:39 |
| acicula | ramontayag: well maybe it drops pings | 14:40 |
| skobo | eeeeeeeeeeeee | 14:40 |
| tk3 | ShackJack: thanks for you time - I managed to make it work correctly by using xrandr to set the resolution directly - the sys pref thing kept messing it up | 14:40 |
| ShackJack | Ah... gotcha... :) | 14:40 |
| gohmifune | jrib: where it says identifier? | 14:40 |
| ramontayag | acicula: oh maye.. I never didn't do that deliberately though if i caused that | 14:40 |
| jrib | gohmifune: on a new line, yes | 14:41 |
| acicula | ramontayag: dont think it's on my default | 14:41 |
| skobo | ciao | 14:41 |
| acicula | *by | 14:41 |
| fallenangel | removed the network card and it passes that point how stupid owe well least I can work with it | 14:41 |
| ramontayag | acicula: got other ideas? :o it makes it terribly difficult for me to deploy. i feel like i'm banging on a brick wall | 14:41 |
| gohmifune | jrib: you mean like, Identifier "vesa" in xorg.conf, am I understanding you? | 14:42 |
| ramontayag | maybe i'll just reformat the server.. dunno | 14:42 |
| jrib | gohmifune: no, new line | 14:42 |
| acicula | ramontayag: well it's either your connection, try pinging something from your server, check your ssh logs to see if someone's hammering it maybe? | 14:42 |
| fallenangel | does ubuntu do a hardware scan at boot for changes ? or is that askin too much lol | 14:42 |
| jrib | gohmifune: you're just adding a new line in that section, not changing anything else | 14:43 |
| acicula | fallenangel: dunno, think it configures some things dynamically. it'll detect the nic, but you still have to configure the network settings then | 14:43 |
| gohmifune | jrib: just the word vesa, in quotation marks on no? | 14:43 |
| gohmifune | jrib: or no? | 14:43 |
| jrib | gohmifune: Driver "vesa" | 14:43 |
| acicula | ramontayag: seems a bit overkill if you dont know what is causing it | 14:44 |
| ramontayag | acicula: ok i'll check the ssh logs. i can ping others though, but i get horrible packet drops but i still get to ping google.com :) | 14:44 |
| gohmifune | jrib: ok, I'll give it a shot | 14:44 |
| cypher1 | ramontayag, what does uname -a show on both terminals | 14:44 |
| ramontayag | cypher1: both my local and my server? just a sec | 14:44 |
| acicula | ramontayag: getting packet drops from your server is not good i think | 14:44 |
| ramontayag | acicula: oh i'm far away from my server hehe | 14:45 |
| ramontayag | acicula: so i expect that | 14:45 |
| acicula | ramontayag: yeh but it should ping something like google just fine , heh | 14:45 |
| ramontayag | and net connections here generally suck | 14:45 |

| erUSUL | tk3: yes change that to "$HOME/Desktop" (if Desktop is you desktop folder if your ubuntu is not in english it may have other name | 15:08 |

| joetromondo | oCean_: Yes, I installed from a repository like apt-get | 15:11 |

| samurai_cheese | hey room I have an ubuntu problem. my kubuntu 8.04 locked me out while upgrading to 8.10. I would restart but I heard that's asking for a kernal error | 16:25 |
| Titan8990 | samurai_cheese, can you log in to the recovery mode? | 16:26 |
| jiffe20 | nfs on one of my ubuntu machines is in a limbo state after it lost connection with it is still mounted but I can't access it and I can't remount it. Anyone have any idea how I might fix that without rebooting? | 16:30 |
| samurai_cheese | well titan I want to get to konsole | 16:30 |
| crdlb | MenZa: hmm, anything weird in the Screen section of your xorg.conf? like a Virtual line? | 16:30 |
| Titan8990 | jiffe20, it is not likely... NFS is treated as an internal device, not suppossed to lose connection | 16:30 |
| joaopinto | jiffe20, my experience with those kind of NFS problems, is, reboot | 16:30 |
| MenZa | nope, crdlb | 16:30 |
| Titan8990 | samurai_cheese, a real terminal works just fine | 16:30 |
| Titan8990 | samurai_cheese, can you log in to the recovery mode? | 16:30 |
| samurai_cheese | I've heard that by getting to console I can kill kdesktop_login | 16:30 |
| rashed2020 | Does anyone have any good guides on how to forward ports? I'm trying to forward from an ubuntu box to another internal machine | 16:30 |
| MenZa | although that might be because I just dpkg-reconfigured it, crdlb | 16:30 |
| samurai_cheese | hmm how would you do that? | 16:30 |
| rashed2020 | Words to search for are just as good | 16:30 |
| acicula | rashed2020: iptables | 16:30 |
| samurai_cheese | sorry n00b here | 16:30 |
| MenZa | crdlb: I can restart X, if you'd like me to | 16:30 |
| crdlb | MenZa: run sudo dexconf, then restart X | 16:30 |
| acicula | rashed2020: though i'm sure there is an internet connection sharing tool or the likes that can do it for you graphically | 16:30 |
| Titan8990 | samurai_cheese, maybe I misundertood your initial problem | 16:30 |
| samurai_cheese | all I can get to right now is the unlock box from screen saver | 16:30 |
| rashed2020 | acicula: Can I use iptables and ufw at the same time? | 16:30 |
| MenZa | crdlb: brb. | 16:30 |
| jiffe20 | ok | 16:30 |
| acicula | rashed2020: ufw uses iptables under the hood | 16:30 |
| Titan8990 | samurai_cheese, hit CTRL+ALT+F1 | 16:30 |
| samurai_cheese | cool thanks titan | 16:30 |
| acicula | afaik ufw doesnt touch your own rules | 16:30 |
| Titan8990 | samurai_cheese, and if you can boot at all, you are not getting a kernel panic | 16:30 |
| rashed2020 | Great, thanks! | 16:30 |
| Titan8990 | samurai_cheese, I think I might have a misunderstanding of your problem | 16:30 |
| MenZa | crdlb: done | 16:30 |
| mikeshollen | joaopinto: would you please point me to a good how to for using partimage to create a reinstallation disc for my OS with all my changes? | 16:30 |
| samurai_cheese | okay it asks for login | 16:30 |
| samurai_cheese | it boots | 16:30 |
| joaopinto | mikeshollen, why do you need to rinstall in the first place :) ? | 16:30 |
| MenZa | crdlb: well, now Compiz activates - I'll check World of Goo | 16:30 |
| samurai_cheese | titan: if I kill the process from here I can get back into my desktop? | 16:30 |
| joaopinto | mikeshollen, google.com: how to use partimage | 16:31 |
| MenZa | crdlb: that did it - thanks a ton. :) | 16:31 |
| mikeshollen | joaopinto: I do not need to reinstall, however, I would like to find a way to create a disc to install Ubuntu with all the programs and changes I have made to my system so once I get the system the way I want it I won't have to go through nearly as much effort and spend as much time reinstalling if something goes wrong | 16:32 |
| mikeshollen | joaopinto: also, at some point I would like to build a linux lab, and it would be nice to be able to install from an image so I only have to set one machine up instead of the entire lab, but for home use I would rather put it on a disc than use the server method since I only have one linux machine | 16:32 |
| Titan8990 | samurai_cheese, so the problem is that you can't log in or graphics are failing?? | 16:32 |
| Titan8990 | samurai_cheese, I still have a poor understanding of your issue | 16:33 |
| Titan8990 | samurai_cheese, you have lost your password? | 16:33 |
| samurai_cheese | hmm okay titan | 16:33 |
| joaopinto | mikeshollen, partimage does not provide the "bootable disk" part, you will need to use a livecd and manually install the image | 16:33 |
| orangey | hey all! | 16:33 |
| samurai_cheese | well I was trying to update from 8.04 to 8.10 last night | 16:33 |
| orangey | what do people use for P2PTV on ubuntu? | 16:33 |
| etb | are there widgets for gnome? | 16:34 |
| mikeshollen | joaopinto: so I would start the installation from the live CD and then point it at a disc image that I would save on a seperate disc with partimage? | 16:34 |
| samurai_cheese | so I left my laptop on. Usually it goes straight into screensaver lock mode which is fine. But this morning it resulted in an error when I tried to login. Cannot authenticate password, must kill kdesktop_lock to continue | 16:34 |
| mikeshollen | etb: you can create your own with compiz | 16:34 |
| gluxon1 | What's the command to start gnome panels? | 16:35 |
| joaopinto | mikeshollen, actually you can backup a from a live system, as long you don't do heavy changes, like installing packages, etc | 16:35 |
| gluxon1 | My panels won't load!!! :( | 16:35 |
| joaopinto | but its safer to do it offline, with a livecd | 16:35 |
| Frederick | folks can I have some help resinstalling grub with the live cd? | 16:35 |
| nick_nick | is there a specific script that gets run during the livecd boot process that configures hardware? | 16:35 |
| acicula | mikeshollen: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html ? | 16:35 |
| mikeshollen | joaopinto: what do you mean? | 16:35 |
| joaopinto | mikeshollen, yes, you just need to select the backup target partition, for the destination you just provide a system path | 16:35 |
| gluxon1 | So what's the commands? :( | 16:35 |
| acicula | gpanel | 16:36 |
| gluxon1 | Thanks. | 16:36 |
| etb | are gdesklets compatible with os x's dashboard / vista gadgets? | 16:36 |
| acicula | wait it's not | 16:36 |
| mikeshollen | joaopinto: so the image has to be sitting on the hard disc on a separate partition instead of on a CD? | 16:36 |
| gluxon1 | Details: Failed to execute child process "gpanel" (No such file or directory) | 16:36 |
| acicula | gnome-panel :) | 16:36 |

| acicula | elashish: power dies is kinda non descript, what exactly does happen | 16:39 |
| elashish | exactly that... everything just turns off | 16:39 |
| elashish | as if you pulled the plug or something | 16:40 |
| acicula | elashish: you push button, do you see the bios? | 16:40 |
| elashish | yes it powers off after logging in | 16:40 |

| uski | hi; is there a way to check the upgrade history of a given package? a relative upgraded his ubuntu distro and now the display is broken (vertical lines on the screen right after X started), and all I got is ssh access to the computer - i assume the nvidia driver got updated recently, but i'd like to check that it was actually upgraded | 16:41 |
| elashish | acicula: correct | 16:41 |
| acicula | elashish: does it happen when you boot into recovery? | 16:41 |
| acicula | mode | 16:41 |
| null-program | elashish: So basically you turn on the computer, then it goes through a few processes, then shuts down? sounds like the heat sink on your processor may need some replacing | 16:41 |
| _VIM_ | /quit | 16:41 |
| elashish | it's possible that it's overheating, but XP runs okay on it | 16:42 |
| joaopinto | uski, check /var/log/dpkg.log | 16:42 |
| uski | ty | 16:42 |
| elashish | acicula how do i do that - from grub? | 16:42 |
| null-program | oh...hmmm | 16:42 |
| acicula | null-program: yeah i'm leaning towards that too, it's either a driver crash, or overheating | 16:42 |
| acicula | elashish: yeah in grub try the rescue option | 16:42 |
| acicula | then select the option to give you a root shell or shell once it boots | 16:42 |
| elashish | acicula okay brb | 16:42 |
| uski | joaopinto, thanks, the nvidia package has been upgraded, i guess i should file a bug against it | 16:43 |
| acicula | null-program: if it's heat it should bomb out in the shell eventually, but maybe X is causing the system to crash/reboot? | 16:43 |
| null-program | could be. If XP runs fine I think it's probably a driver problem | 16:43 |
| acicula | yeh that would be my next question too | 16:43 |
| elashish | acicula: I'm in root shell and it's fine, what now | 16:44 |
| null-program | did you install anything before this happened or change anything? | 16:44 |
| elashish | nope, from a clean install of 8.04 | 16:44 |

| Zeroyez | i can't figure out how to install grub, i use rescue mode of installer, then do grubinstall /dev/sdb and every time i boot it says "GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait... Error 17" | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | Zeroyez | 18:12 |
| ubottu | Zeroyez: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 18:12 |
| Zeroyez | that is 100% unrelated | 18:12 |
| Zeroyez | i did not install windows, i installed ubuntu on my 2nd hard drive | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeroyez: it will elp you install grub and your question was at least regarding grub so 100% is a ridiculous figure to state at least | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeroyez: it tells you how to install and configure grub | 18:13 |
| Natovr1 | Zeroyez, found info about error 17 if it helps :) http://hertenberger.co.za/?p=808 | 18:13 |
| elcMawr | what would cause "configuring network interfaces" to hang at boot time? how do i find out? | 18:14 |
| |Kamen| | doesnt grub need to be on the first drive that boots? | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeroyez: the fact that most people bork grub by installing NTLDR over the top is just a bit of extra info | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeroyez: try readingg the links instead of giving attitude | 18:14 |
| Zeroyez | so i have to install windows boot loader instead of grub? | 18:14 |
| Zeroyez | that makes no sense | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | |Kamen|: it needs to be on the drive that the bios has selected to boot, or install it to a different disk ten change the bios | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeroyez: no | 18:15 |

| |Kamen| | a bios that doesnt let you select boot device? yikes | 18:16 |
| Zeroyez | it gives you a choice between cd boot, net boot, hard drive 1 boot, but no hard drive 2 :( | 18:17 |

| ActionParsnip | RickZilla: leave the identifier lines alone, just add the driver and option lines | 18:26 |
| DasEi | |Kamen|: so no sure answer is possible: if the ide-cable is attached, it depends on the config on that machine , if ubu 'blocks' manual access, else it should work, but why would you do that ? | 18:26 |

| juanito | so i used gufw to enable it;) | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | tp: set depth in xorg.conf | 18:42 |
| jrib | azlon: nope, first is to see if you can use it with your mouse at all and find out why it isn't being used (X tries) | 18:42 |

| Natovr1 | DasEi, works alright now :) thanks | 19:16 |
| gnuyen | does anyone run ubuntu on a macbook 4.1? I can't get the isight firmware extracted from the file | 19:16 |
| nikitis | DasEi, heh, not really. So the 64 bit option won't work? | 19:16 |
| gnuyen | so if anyone has isight.fw that would be awesome | 19:16 |
| nikitis | DasEi, there are no bios updates either | 19:16 |
| hardcampa | Someone tell me why Gnome have the sort arrow inverted... is there a point at all in this | 19:17 |

| zxd | it's supposed to be unstable ? unstables have security updates? | 19:19 |
| zxd | in ubuntu ? | 19:19 |
| Natovr1 | DasEi, no problem | 19:19 |
| DasEi | nikitis: if your mobo doesn't support more, then 64 is no way, too | 19:20 |
| TaG^ | ActionParsnip .. after i got the update ... i did a uname -r it's still on the old kernal? | 19:20 |
| bpmarkham1 | zxd: you might want to join #ubuntu+1 for that question | 19:20 |

| Bodsda | DasEi, been there, thats why im asking, grub returns (hd0,0) sometimes and other times it returns nothing | 19:29 |
| vocx | Bodsda, I think that would be (hd0) MBR first disk, (hd1) MBR second disk, etc. | 19:29 |

| treborky | Hi all, I have a Dell Latitude D410 and the screen brightness randomly dims all the way down. I'm running 8.10... any ideas ? | 19:33 |
| DasEi | Bodsa:I experienced much help with SGD, especially on multiboot | 19:33 |
| vocx | Bodsda, you should use "grub-install" instead of the plain grub prompt. Something like "grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/" | 19:33 |
| Bodsda | vocx, hm, il look into it thanks, gotta boot into live cd now :) | 19:33 |
| g0nad | treborky: can you get it brighter by using the dell function keys? | 19:33 |
| oakmac1 | Does anyone have experience setting resolution on TVs that overscan the image via HDMI? | 19:33 |

| treborky | @ g0nad: yes... but it will dim down again after about a minute. | 19:34 |
| oakmac1 | Does anyone have experience setting resolution on TVs that overscan the image via HDMI? | 19:34 |
| g0nad | treborky: hmmmm, i dunno | 19:34 |
| vocx | TaG^, write this then times "kernel" not "kernal" then, You cannot update your kernel, unless you update the entire distro to the next release. Well, you can but that is for more advanced users. | 19:35 |
| jrib | treborky: my laptop dims when I'm on the train and the power cuts, so maybe it's related to whatever program is responsible for that (I never took the time to find out) | 19:35 |
| raven | hi everyone | 19:35 |
| Sarvatt | anyone have any tips on lowering the number of wakeups from idle per second on synaptics touchpads? it shoots up around 700/second when I use it and I've run out of things to google to try to fix it. would a higher or lower hz setting in the kernel help? tried a bunch of module options but didnt have any luck | 19:35 |
| DasEi | Sarvatt: have a look in man nice | 19:36 |
| TaG^ | vocx so how do I get to 2.6.28? | 19:36 |
| treborky | jrib: ya it think it's a problem with gnome power manager... the OSD doesn't come up when I press the brightness up down buttons either... | 19:36 |
| vocx | TaG^, you update to Ubuntu 9.04 when it becomes available | 19:37 |
| DrGhoul_ | how do I rescue a broken usb flash drive that is recognized by lsusb and in dmesg and /var/log/messages as sdi, but doesn't show up in fdisk -l or parted (Error: Error opening /dev/sdi: No medium found) | 19:37 |
| jrib | treborky: does it happen if you start a desktop other than gnome? | 19:37 |
| TaG^ | I did this sudo apt-get update? | 19:37 |
| Royall | Where is the general hardware support chatroom? | 19:37 |
| Sarvatt | thank you DasEi, they're hardware interrupts though | 19:37 |
| jrib | Royall: ##hardware ? | 19:37 |
| raven | sometimes applications suddenly close (no crash report, no cpu-hang, nothing) is that a known problem and is there any solution for that yet? | 19:38 |
| Royall | thanks | 19:38 |
| vocx | TaG^, that is not enough. You need to wait till April, then it will be available and you will be able to upgrade your distribution and kernel. | 19:38 |
| jrib | raven: the same applications? | 19:38 |
| DasEi | DrGhoul_: bad sign, if not in sudo fdisk -l , looks bad - more broken then faulty, can you mount sdi1 manaullay ? | 19:38 |

| Baversjo | Hey guys what is the easiest way to get Grub into MBR if I first installed ubuntu then windows over it? (windows is on MBR). Can I use the ubuntu installation CD? | 19:39 |
| jrib | treborky: I'd test something without gnome-power-manager just to trouble, or just kill it I guess and see what happens | 19:39 |
| DrGhoul_ | DasEi: nope can't mount it, so it's probably bricked | 19:39 |
| DasEi | !grub | Baversjo | 19:39 |
| henu | hello. is it really a good idea, that any user can edit any files on the ubuntu system if X fails to start? at least i can do this in my intrepid machine. | 19:39 |

| jrib | henu: you went into recovery mode? | 19:42 |
| nikitis | 2gb's | 19:42 |
| vocx | henu, that means you are in single user mode, that is root. | 19:42 |
| raven | jrib i forgot about doing that again, sry - how? | 19:42 |
| jrib | azlon: ok. Well you've got the button numbers with xev? | 19:42 |
| DasEi | nikitis: so google for a possible bios update for your board | 19:43 |
| jrib | raven: reboot and from the grub menu, choose "memtest" | 19:43 |
| azlon | jrib: yeah, 6 and 7 | 19:43 |
| henu | yeah, but isn't it a little bit bad idea that i could do any modifications to system? what if x files when some hostile person is using machine? | 19:43 |
| DrGhoul_ | DasEi: /dev/sdi1: No such file or directory | 19:43 |
| raven | right - ok | 19:43 |
| DrGhoul_ | DasEi: So I guess the partition table is gone | 19:43 |
| raven | jrib but that's no public problem? | 19:43 |
| jrib | azlon: erm I use xbindkeys, but have you been through the docs at imwheel's site? I remember there being some examples in the README or man page. poke me if they aren't helpful | 19:44 |
| vocx | henu, it's not clear your problem. If X fails, you may logout, then login back in, but you seem to imply that it will always run in single user mode. | 19:44 |
| jrib | raven: public problem? | 19:44 |
| raven | known? | 19:45 |
| raven | a problem some people have? | 19:45 |
| jrib | raven: I'm asking you to test your memory. No, programs randomly crashing isn't normal | 19:45 |
| henu | vocx: i meant a situation when x fails to open itself during boot | 19:45 |
| jrib | henu: anyone with physical access can do whatever they want anyway. That's why you can enter recovery mode without a password | 19:46 |
| raven | ok i'll try | 19:46 |
| Flannel | henu: Even when X fails during boot, you don't get dropped to a root prompt. Yes, you get dropped to a prompt, but it's just a regular prompt. | 19:46 |
| raven | i'll come here again after that | 19:46 |
| raven | thanks | 19:46 |
| henu | Flannel: but i can change root password right? just edit it with that gedit thing? and then log with root password | 19:46 |

| azlon | jrib: I looked at the man and played around with some examples, but im not sure I filly understand how their config file is setup... looks like they use keywords instead of button numbers like this: None,Left,Alt_L|Left | 19:46 |
| Flannel | henu: You'll need sudo in order to modify the root password. | 19:47 |
| vocx | henu, well, I haven't been in that situation ever. X, simply doesn't fail. Unless you are messing with drivers and stuff. Once it's setup, it always works. | 19:47 |

| _CommandeR_ | hello, i got some problems with Ubuntu and my Intel Graphic card would anyone like to help me ? | 19:51 |
| jrib | vocx: not really, but in general if xev doesn't detect a button then you need to make it detect (probably by making sure evdev gets used). If xev detects it ok, then you should be able to configure actions for it using xbindkeys or imwheel. I've seen other solutions too though | 19:51 |

| lorenzosu | my sister's hard disk crashed and now makes a strange "clock-like" sound.. how can I try recovering files? | 19:57 |
| vocx | henu, yes, that's standard behavior, you can have access, in order to repair your system. If you decide to delete more stuff, then it's your fault. | 19:57 |

| henu | vocx: but isn't that a little bit bad thing? what if x fails for example at the machine of your school, library, etc.? | 19:58 |
| kc8pxy | is there simple way i can fill up my approx server, before people do any downloading of packages? | 19:59 |
| The_Joe_ | I'll attempt to ask again | 19:59 |
| vocx | henu, I'm telling you, it doesn't fail like that. Because it shouldn't. You obviously borked your system because you were installing things, weren't you. | 19:59 |

| vocx | jjshoe, what is that? Find out why it was obsoleted. | 20:00 |
| henu | vocx: yeah, i know i broke my x because i'm obviously a noob, but what if x sometimes fails because of other reasons? then ANYONE using that machine can take it over | 20:00 |

| Flannel | !undelete | Hancok | 20:01 |
| ubottu | Hancok: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 20:01 |
| kc8pxy | Hancok: there is a filesystem driver for ext2/3, but my experience, is "don't use it unless you HAVE to, and don't use it much". | 20:01 |
| vocx | henu, what other reason? You can't speculate with security issues, that's why I'm telling you that you should provide some testcases. You can't just say, "hey this is a bug! fix it." | 20:01 |
| KewliOO | Can someone help me out here... | 20:02 |
| Flannel | vocx: Just drop it. It is indeed a vulnerability if he's accurate in describing it (which I have no reason to believe otherwise). Stop being difficult. | 20:02 |
| vocx | jjshoe, install from source. Packages have dependency information, so the package manager may go nuts trying to install versions that aren't available, but it is also not a big deal, unless it overwrites dependencies. | 20:02 |

| Hancok | Flannel thx | 20:04 |
| Flannel | vocx: From what he describes, it's an accurate bug, and an accurate security vulnerability. Once he files a bug report, we'll be able to see specifics. | 20:04 |

| jjshoe | Flannel I'm not on an older distro going for a newer package, I'm on a newer distro after an older package. This document makes it sound like it helps me grab a newer package for an older distro, no? | 20:06 |
| Flannel | jjshoe: that's how its written (and designed for). But all it *really* does is automate a custom deb build for an arbitrary source package. | 20:06 |

| plouffe | sdfkj | 20:12 |
| doleyb | plouffe: as a workaround, you could use some other browser for flash playing (ephiphany). That would mean putting Flashblock on firefox. | 20:12 |

| vocx | TaG^, many editors by default create a backup which end in ~, you can delete them or change the editor preferences to not create them. This is done specially because sometimes you edit system files and other important files for you. | 20:14 |
| lorenzosu | hkais1: Ubuntu doesn't automount it when I plug it in | 20:14 |
| WebGuest1 | ActionParsnip It seems that Ubuntu doesn't like using ntfs for /home. So I guess I am just going to move "my documents" under windows to the ntfs partition, and then create symbolic links from ubuntu to this partition for all of the seperate folders in the /home folder | 20:14 |

| koro | hi. I'm trying to disable the two side buttons of my mouse (forward/back) after updating to ubuntu 8.10, but the mouse section of the xorg.conf file now says "# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used". What can i do to disable these buttons? | 20:35 |
| koro | my problem is that the buttons are too sensitive and i keep pressing them by mistake. In some contexts in gnome it acts like a left click, so that can be pretty annoying | 20:35 |

| vocx | koro, in some instances you can add the sections (uncomment) to the xorg.conf, and it will override the defaults. I don't know if you've tried that already. Check the xorg logs to see if your changes made effect. | 20:37 |

| corinth | Flannel: Nope. Installing Ubuntu on a friend's pc. | 20:45 |
| Cpudan80 | corinth: /, swap and /home ? | 20:45 |

| Cpudan80 | corinth: What partitions do you want to end up with | 20:46 |

| Cpudan80 | If anything its too small | 20:46 |
| gartral | hrm... you need the extension registered, or do you need a reader for those files? | 20:46 |

Primary partition 1 is 123MB and will be /boot (used to be some recovery partition). Pri 2,3 are NTFS with Vista (bah) etc. 5 is logical with crypto. Problem is it will only allow me to create one partition inside the encrypted volume. Any further free space becomes 'unusable'... any reason why? | 21:22 |

| doleyb | ganymede: traceroute | 21:25 |
| derchiller | jsjones: wget downloads u at the files where u are when using wget but i think u can give wget a parameter, check man wget and the command u may want to know is pwd, which displays u the current directory | 21:25 |

| sixofour | and besides its not available with apt-get [and even if it was, like every other package ive used, it will be vastly out of date] | 21:30 |

| vocx | guntbert, Kingsy101 if you have multiple java virtual machines you may need to run "update-alternatives java" to select the proper one that most applications will use. | 21:50 |

| gumbo | nope first installed kubuntu but was to slow so i uninstalled through vista disk management and messed up my mbr finally fixed it and tryin to install on free space | 21:56 |
| Kingsy101 | dronix - it says java version "1.5.0" | 21:56 |

| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 21:59 |
| fluffles | Rytis: Try at different levels - highest might be too high | 21:59 |
| sebsebseb | rashed2020: you can help him partition Ubuntu, and you can help him once it's installed | 21:59 |
| gumbo | what do i need to do. I heard i need three seperate partitions. one for the boot partition, one for linux and one for swap | 21:59 |
| sebsebseb | rashed2020: VNC tunneled over SSH, then it's secure as well | 21:59 |
| sebsebseb | rashed2020: that needs a little setting up on both ends | 21:59 |
| dronix | gumbo: r u trying to install ubuntu for the first time? | 21:59 |
| gumbo | no | 21:59 |
| kane77 | eternaljoy, if your disk is full then it is a bit fragmented | 21:59 |

| eternaljoy | kane77: then what do I do? | 22:00 |
| _Whipper | xp and older yes, but not vista.. | 22:00 |
| gumbo | why not? | 22:00 |
| sebsebseb | rashed2020: ,but it's not difficult | 22:00 |
| vocx | gumbo, in reality you only need ONE partition. One for Linux. If you want you can create another one for swap. And in the past it was useful to setup one for boot, but it's no longer necessary, specially if you only one to run ONE Linux system. | 22:00 |
| Kingsy101 | dronix - ok I am trying it again... | 22:00 |

| gumbo | soooo... vista/linux dual boot not a good idea? | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | piratepenguin: compile | 22:03 |
| eternaljoy | _Whipper: i do it 2 ways.. I have Vista on my C: and ubuntu on my external USB HD and boot straight into Ubuntu or Vista.. And I also have Virtualbox running on Vista and Ubuntu runs inside Virtualbox... Never had a problem. everything works great | 22:03 |
| eternaljoy | how do I defrag Ubuntu? | 22:03 |
| dronix | lape: answer this, what are you trying to play? a movie file, mp3, or flash? | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | gumbo: you can multiboot as much space as you have | 22:03 |
| _Whipper | gumbo: u decide.. i would not mix them, but .. | 22:03 |
| deany | people actually use totem? VLC and Smplayer own it | 22:03 |
| === Guest50986 is now known as E3b | ||
| eternaljoy | gumbo: do what I did, put Ubuntu on an external HD and boot into that instead,,, leaves Vista and C: alone | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | eternaljoy: ext3 doesnt fragment so theres no real tool | 22:04 |
| gumbo | man i need vista for games or at least thats all i see it use for | 22:04 |
| _Whipper | eternaljoy, : i meant in the Same HD, | 22:04 |
| lape | everything | 22:04 |
| deany | id use songbird if it had an EQ.. my lappy benefits from one greatly... | 22:04 |
| eternaljoy | ActionParsnip: kane77 said that overtime it gets fragmented and fiull and needs to be defraged., true? | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | eternaljoy: as disk access is fragmented, the data on the disk is fragmented too but tis does not affect performance | 22:04 |
| piratepenguin | ActionParsnip: I installed the sdk and thats grand but installing PyQt (I need python) seems like another big task | 22:04 |
| Kingsy101 | ok I think its done... update-java-alternatives -l shows java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun & java-gcj 1042 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | eternaljoy: no, it doesnt fragment | 22:04 |
| eternaljoy | _Whipper: I run ubuntu and Vista on same drive, using Virtualbox :) | 22:04 |

| eternaljoy | ActionParsnip: never? | 22:04 |
| dronix | lape: do u have the flash plug in installed? | 22:05 |
| dronix | Kingsy101: it works now? | 22:05 |
| eternaljoy | ActionParsnip: some people told me that it fragments over time | 22:05 |
| Kingsy101 | BUT the ./eclipse command still says the same error | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | eternaljoy: only after many many years and even then its hugely minimal | 22:05 |
| deany | ActionParsnip, ive found it starts up faster even after 6% frag.... | 22:05 |
| dronix | Kingsy101: u don't have eclipse installed? | 22:05 |
| eternaljoy | ActionParsnip: so what do I do then? | 22:05 |
| lape | yes | 22:05 |
| dronix | lape: and the w32codecs? | 22:05 |
| deany | from a defrag, of sorts | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !defrag | 22:05 |
| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 22:05 |
| _Whipper | eternaljoy, : oulright then :) | 22:05 |
| kane77 | eternaljoy, not overtime.. if the usage is like 99% then of course it fragments, but there's nothing you can do about that | 22:05 |
| dhysk | :lape does your system sound work outside firefox? | 22:05 |
| gumbo | alright i ll just take my chances with the same hd | 22:06 |
| deany | ActionParsnip, defrag! | 22:06 |
| lape | sounds outside work | 22:06 |
| Kingsy101 | dronix no, I downloaded pdt-all-in-one-linux-gtk-2.0.0GA.tar.gz extracted it and ran that ./eclipse command in the extracted folder | 22:06 |

| eternaljoy | kane77: you told me I need to defrag, but now you tell me not do :P which is it? lol | 22:06 |
| gumbo | just guide me through the manual install option | 22:06 |
| ortsvorsteher | gumbo: read the installation documentation first and also dualboot docs | 22:06 |

| E3b | I installed the w32codec.. and it's still not playing *.wma | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | deany: ntfs fragments due to bad planning of disk, if you have a sperate partition for page file and %tmp% and %temp% it fragments waaaay less | 22:07 |
| deany | E3b, mplayer with smplayer frontend.. job done | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | deany: most users have 1 partition which is a BAD coice | 22:07 |
| Kingsy101 | dronix - any ideas? | 22:07 |
| dronix | Kingsy101: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE | 22:08 |
| gumbo | im sure i want ubuntu instead of vista. im sure i will only use vista for games and thats why i want it im unsure how to manulayy install tho | 22:08 |
| deany | ActionParsnip, I was just sayin ext3 isnt without its faults... it does benefit from a defrag | 22:08 |
| eternaljoy | gumbo: I use Vista to play online games. the rest I use Ubuntu | 22:08 |
| dronix | gumbo: just download an iso and burn it, then boot from your cd and install ubuntu | 22:08 |
| gumbo | exactly!! | 22:08 |
| deany | ActionParsnip, i know how sloppy ntfs is | 22:08 |
| eternaljoy | gumbo: and also when using webcam for chats. I need to use Vista as ubuntu doesnt dectect my internal webcam | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | deany: its coupled with bad user choices too | 22:09 |
| eternaljoy | gumbo: so there is a need for Vista + Ubuntu for some people | 22:09 |
| * ortsvorsteher dont needs anything from mickeysoft, but its offtopic ;) | 22:09 | |
| ortsvorsteher | *scnr | 22:10 |
| eternaljoy | isnt there a program where you can install ubuntu on C: Windows but it wont installl grub? | 22:10 |
| gumbo | yea i did that with ubuntu and vista had a problem with gpart messin with the hd so i ad to use vista's disk management and kno i have a total of 140 unallocated free space that i want to use linux on | 22:10 |
| _Whipper | Im no officially out oh the vista/ub converstation.. | 22:10 |

| === ianto is now known as Chris` | ||
| [_[__Luly__]_] | gracias bot (^_^) | 22:11 |
| eternaljoy | ActionParsnip: there is a program that allows you to install ubuntu and load in windows. cant remember the name | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | deany: it will fragment some but te disk access performed is also fragmented so it isnt noticed | 22:11 |
| dronix | eternaljoy: wubi | 22:11 |
| deany | ActionParsnip, I know what you are sayin tho.. | 22:11 |
| eternaljoy | dronix: thats it.. any good? | 22:11 |
| Mike94287 | I'm using to use Sound Recorder but once I stop recording it says that minutes have gone by when only a few seconds have. When I try to stop the recording it freezes for a while and then nothing happens. | 22:11 |

| dronix | eternaljoy: yes recommended | 22:11 |
| gumbo | isnt wubi supposed to make it slower | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | deany: its hugely rare to read a whole file in one go with multiple users and multiple applications and services running | 22:11 |
| eternaljoy | dronix: so if I use wubi, will it alter my MBR at all? | 22:12 |

| ed0n0n | How can I set up a network for copying files between pc's in a LAN, and not using Samba? | 22:16 |

| _Whipper | Mike94287, : use something else then, and see if it does the same | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | gumbo: thats got nothing to do with ubuntu or grub being "bad", if you remove the files needed for grub to work then it wont work | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | gumbo: thats like having a pure windows system and deleting boot.ini | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | gumbo: its not the bootloader, its your actions as a user | 22:17 |
| ortsvorsteher | !scp | ed0n0n | 22:18 |

| ortsvorsteher | ed0n0n: is it a heterogenous network? | 22:18 |

| ed0n0n | Flannel: Do I use regular ssh parameters to use sftp? | 22:19 |
| Mike94287 | _Whipper: I'd rather resolve the problem than avoid it. | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | gumbo: if you make a 20Mb /boot partition then it doesnt matter if you delete ubuntu as the grub loader will still work | 22:20 |
| Flannel | ed0n0n: If you install openssh-server, you have a server capable of sftp. | 22:20 |

| eternaljoy | ActionParsnip: their website says: You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu.Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application,,,,, so you dont agree with that? | 22:25 |

| eternaljoy | Roasted: so it cant be booted from a CD? | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | howl: whats hulu? | 22:28 |
| Roasted | eternaljoy - no, it's a tar.gz package you install within Ubuntu... it's recommended that you don't do anything else with it EXCEPT run it as a server. | 22:28 |

| oerter | Where in ubuntu does it tell you the amount of RAM you have? | 22:30 |
| Roasted | eternaljoy - Clonezilla has two versions... LiveCD for single computers and Server for imaging many computers at once, like computer labs or something. However, Clonezilla Server isn't as user friendly as FOG and I haven't even gotten it to work after 6 weeks of research, while FOG I got working in 3 hours. | 22:30 |

| Flare183 | L3dPlatedLinux: open a terminal and type in sudo apt-get autoremove | 22:43 |

| doleyb | Z3ro3X: 1. go to hardware drivers and disable Atheros item. 2. acquire madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz from madwifi.org, 3. extract it, ./configure, make, sudo make install, 4. sudo modprobe ath_pci wlan_scan_sta | 22:57 |
| sebsebseb | lore_: you could make a seperate /boot or do a small ubuntu partition get rid of everything, but boot | 22:57 |
| sebsebseb | lore_: then you got grub in there | 22:57 |
| DBeta | So does anyone know a way to focus on two windows at once, or not let a window know it goes out of focus. | 22:57 |

| DBeta | doleyb:Also, switching between normal dual screen and dual X wasn't quick or easy. | 22:59 |
| vocx | WebGuest1, Never done it, but I think you can change your home directory somewhere in the users and group options, and using the symnlink as you say may be easy. | 22:59 |
| sebsebseb | lore_: I guess the partition idea will work, then the bit of grub left in the mbr, will use the partition, if set up properly | 22:59 |
| swamptin | I went and installed ubuntu on a sony vgn-C1S from a boot cd, loaded fine after the install, fired it up again now and it got a kernel panic "Unable to mount root fs"... should I go ahead and just reinstall? | 22:59 |
| zeitsofa | ed0n0n: ok. did u check the firewall? | 22:59 |
| doleyb | DBeta: i'm afraid it might be easier than capturing that keyboard input, which is the other alternative | 23:00 |
| vocx | lore_, if you have a Windows CD use that to install the Windows Bootloader, then repeat the steps I provided to reinstall grub. | 23:00 |
| ed0n0n | zeitsofa: Yes. I tried triggering the 22 port but didn't change anything | 23:00 |
| DBeta | doleyb: How would capturing the keyboard input help? | 23:00 |
| doleyb | DBeta: well prevent your flash player from noticing that another app was active... but i don't know how to approach that. | 23:01 |
| lore_ | vocx: This is the output of my fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/131761/ | 23:01 |
| zeitsofa | ed0n0n: hmm sorry i don't know what is wrong. | 23:01 |
| DBeta | doleyb: Yeah, I figured the easy way would be to prevent Flash from knowing it wasn't in focus. | 23:01 |

| ubottu | napzter: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 23:02 |

| Wicked | !reiser | 23:03 |
| ubottu | reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html | 23:03 |

| issa | Hi, is it possible to use an installed (already-compiled) files of catdoc and copy it to another machine and just use path to the command line file to have it work? | 23:03 |
| ed0n0n | zeitsofa: I was ssh-ing the other machine and I was running ps aux in it, but didnt have ssh-server running on one of them. I guess I need to in order to use scp between them | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis64 | Hmm | 23:03 |
| DBeta | Perhaps I should ask in the compiz IRC or the Gnome IRC. | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | one has to forward the port throught th router to get identd to respond.. thats a bigger security issue then having a funny name in irc.. :) | 23:04 |
| vocx | lore_, might be BIOS problem? Check your BIOS when the PC boots. But do that, reinstall the bootloader with Windows, then make sure it works, then reinstall grub. | 23:05 |
| Lighttitan | when I attempt to do "sudo regedit" I get this: "wine: /home/titan/.wine is not owned by you" How do I take ownership of the .wine folder and all files underneath? | 23:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Lighttitan, you dont sudo it.. | 23:05 |
| vocx | Lighttitan, do you need to use regedit in Wine? | 23:05 |
| bigrigger | ed0n0n: servers should not use port triggering, use port forwarding and insure your remote sshd daemon is listening/running. | 23:05 |
| zenlunatic | Lighttitan, chown | 23:05 |
| Lighttitan | but when I change this one registry value it just changes back | 23:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Lighttitan, the .wine stuff is owned by the user.. and thus he can regedit his own wine things. | 23:06 |
| Dillizar | !xpde | 23:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xpde | 23:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Lighttitan, now you MIGHT of just messed that up if you accessed some files as root. they may now be owned by root - not theuser any more | 23:06 |
| ed0n0n | zeitsofa: Fixed it. But I just got a Write failed: Broken pipe. What is this, neve seen it | 23:06 |
| Lighttitan | oh I see... well I guess my problem would be more in wine than an Ubuntu question, I guess I need to go to that channel | 23:06 |
| bigrigger | ed0n0n: read my last post. | 23:07 |
| lore_ | vocx: Don't thinks so, but thanks. It woas working till I messed up something in grub | 23:07 |

| jrib | DBeta: right, never mind, what I was thinking won't work anyway | 23:08 |
| bigrigger | port triggering does work well for identd port 113, fyi for whomever asked. | 23:08 |
| lore_ | I just tried installing gfx grub.. | 23:08 |
| lore_ | it wasn't wise | 23:08 |
| ed0n0n | bigrigger: Do I need port formwarding in a LAN?? Do I have to change the port forwarding when DHCP changes IPs or new computers are connected to the LAN? | 23:08 |
| vocx | lore_, what's that? | 23:08 |
| lore_ | I had made a backup of the grub dir and tried restoring it but no luck | 23:08 |

| ed0n0n | _Whipper: Wipe out your homework | 23:10 |
| gartral | vocx: what about that bit saying "you must use liloconf after this process has finished" before the installation? | 23:10 |

| vocx | gartral, when did you see that? | 23:11 |
| _Whipper | ed0n0n, : thank you | 23:11 |
| gartral | it was in here, way long ago, hold on | 23:11 |

| pvtpete | ? | 23:12 |
| ed0n0n | bigrigger: Should I put a static IP to each machine? Is it a good prociding? | 23:12 |
| Flare183 | bosco_: Depends on the httpd server | 23:12 |
| bigrigger | bosco_: one way is use .htaccess file | 23:12 |
| Flare183 | !ask | pvtpete | 23:12 |
| ubottu | pvtpete: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:12 |
| bigrigger | ed0n0n: static ip's solve that problem, answer=yes | 23:12 |
| bosco_ | bigrigger, i know of .htaccess and i run ubuntu server???? | 23:13 |
| ||drake|| | why do "Screen Resolutions" and "Screens and Graphics" refuse to open? | 23:13 |
| bosco_ | i just want it to say access denied ???? | 23:13 |
| bigrigger | bosco_: if this is a http webserver,, yes thats what .htaccess is designed for, you can password protect it, forbid it lots of stuff. | 23:14 |

| bosco_ | bigrigger, if i set a .htaccess file in my /pictures/ dir and that is where i put pictures for my server then when they load my site they will have to put a password in to view my site prop with the pics so i just want the pics to laod fine but so they cant view the dir by typing it in | 23:18 |
| bigrigger | bosco_: what you're asking is somewhat redundant. you want users to see it, but not see it? | 23:18 |

| pvtpete | it's being repeated over and over | 23:19 |
| DBeta | Ha! Figured out a cheap work around. Not perfect, but better than nothing. Compiz has a zoom feature that works per desktop, so I can just zoom in on the window. | 23:19 |
| DBeta | Cheap, but it will work 'till I can find something better. | 23:19 |
| Sna4x8 | No, I haven't. I tried ripperX, x-cd-roast, Audacity, MPlayer, brasero, and gnomebaker. | 23:19 |

| Reidy | Anyone able to help me fix my download speed issues? | 23:20 |
| gartral | dirty: you might also google for a deb of what your trying to install, "tar balls/bells" are a pain in the arse to work with | 23:20 |
| vocx | frojnd, the program can be modified yes, so instead of outputting to a terminal it outputs to a window or text area of course, but it's easier to just run it in the terminal. | 23:21 |

| Vantrax | err gRunt your going to end up with a terminal connection anyway | 23:33 |
| gartral | Reidy: not really, at least until you test lan, if lan is giving the same issues, its your routers firewall, if its ubuntu, it should be "fixed" after a network cable, but we'll have to figure out whats with that wifi card if its not the router | 23:33 |
| bigrigger | melik: no | 23:33 |
| bigrigger | melik: it adds 'username' to 'group' | 23:33 |

| n1c0 | anybody can halp me? | 23:36 |
| melik | and easier; im learning it little by little. | 23:36 |
| Vantrax | gRunt, you need to know the dns name or the IP | 23:36 |
| gartral | reidy does trying to visit home (http://home) or 172.198.0.1 from firefox bring you too the conf page of your router? | 23:37 |
| gRunt | yeah ive got the ip but as far as im aware it has no username is all I am saying. | 23:37 |
| Vantrax | gRunt, so it would be ssh username@192.168.0.10 | 23:37 |
| gRunt | Ahh okay ty | 23:37 |
| nael | vocx, it gets past grub and the splash screen comes up. The progress bar does not move unless I hold return and it eventually boots | 23:37 |
| Vantrax | gRunt, it will have a username somewhere in it | 23:37 |
| gRunt | I just found out filezilla is multi-platform too so will give that a look. | 23:37 |
| nael | vocx, there are no visible error messages | 23:37 |

| gartral | donkey: this is ubuntu help channel | 23:38 |

| vocx | nael, when it's booting press ESC, then when you have the menu, press "e" to edit, then remove those words "quiet" and "splash", then ESC, then "b" to boot. Those changes are only temporary, but you can make them permanent by editing, /boo/grub/menu.lst | 23:41 |
| Dr_Willis | donkey, if a lot of stuff is using swap.. you may need to close them. and perhaps reboot and use a live cd or somting that is not going to use the swap file | 23:41 |
| pvtpete | back again: I'm stuck and I can't boot from livecd. It's worked before but now I'm stuck in the box thing | 23:41 |
| pvtpete | (CLI) | 23:41 |
| donkey | i dont care about the volume it's just that it's primary and i'm at the 4 primary parttition limit so i wanted to change it to extended if that's possible | 23:41 |
| jj_galvez | when I click in a window it neither raises or changes focus, and this continues until I logout and back any thoughts? BTW this is with Compiz on | 23:41 |
| Dr_Willis | donkey, live cd + gparted I think can do tht | 23:41 |
| Z3ro3X | I finely got my fracking wireless working. This is what I did. I downloaded http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz deactivated the wifi using System - > Administration -> Hardware Drivers. Decompressed the gz file. Went into the folder through shell. Typed make then sudo make install. Rebooted then reactivated the driver in "Hardware Drivers". | 23:41 |
| donkey | ok | 23:41 |
| donkey | great | 23:41 |
| donkey | i will try that | 23:42 |
| donkey | thanks | 23:42 |
| gartral | donkey: i don't think ubuntu will see the swap part after you reboot once that change was made | 23:42 |
| android6011 | is there an msn messenger besides amsn with webcam support? | 23:42 |
| donkey | what do you mean? | 23:42 |
| gartral | android6011: kopete | 23:42 |
| Reidy | @ Z3ro3X: What was the problem with your wireless? slow download speeds? | 23:43 |
| _Whipper | donkey:who? | 23:43 |
| donkey | gartral | 23:43 |
| vocx | donkey, remove or comment the line about swap in /etc/fstab so Linux doesn't try to activate it. Then you can do whatever you want with the swap partition. | 23:43 |
| donkey | ok | 23:43 |
| jeeves | how can I set up a quick/dirty VPN soulition so I can connect to our remote network to find out what goof set up IIS on a windows box and is causing problems for my Linux server | 23:43 |
| gartral | donkey: nvm, i was thinking older ubuntu | 23:43 |
| Z3ro3X | Reidy, The driver was that came on the disc was busted or something because ubuntu wasn't even recognizing my wifi hardware. | 23:43 |
| donkey | k | 23:43 |
| dronix | android6011: doesn't pidgin support cam? | 23:43 |
| android6011 | dronix i dont think so | 23:43 |
| gartral | dronix: no, pidgin lacks all A/V communication abilityies, just text | 23:44 |
| gartral | s abilityies/abilities | 23:44 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, ppp over ssh? but if you can ssh into a box there you might not need the VPN | 23:44 |
| _Whipper | pvtpete, :you could not have done the things i mentioned in this time... :) | 23:44 |
| dronix | gartral: yeah just checked | 23:44 |
| gRunt | Vantrax, thanks I connected via terminal no problems but I am rather horrid with and want to do a fair bit of file copying so might see if I can get filezilla to connect. | 23:45 |
| gartral | dronix: i know im right, cause i use pidgin | 23:45 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, I can ssh into the box, but it keep dropping the connection. One of the ham fisted interns decided that screwing with stuff on a Sunday was a good idea | 23:45 |
| pvtpete | oh I thought you went to the pub | 23:45 |
| pvtpete | or something | 23:45 |
| dronix | gatral: :) | 23:45 |
| gartral | i have a geforce 2 MX440, and i can't get screen rotation too work, what am i missing, i'm using the restricted drivers, but it won't let me rotate my screen\ | 23:45 |
| Reidy | @ Gartral: It won't let me connect to that IP. And my internet speeds are pretty sluggish as well. I've heard it might have something to do with IPv6(my internet speeds)...but as far as my download speeds IDK what to do. | 23:45 |
| Stevethepirate | Hey, I have a variety of SOCKS5 proxies running on sequential ports on my PC [ports 10001->10010] .. I wanna load balance over them into a common port [lets say 10011] so I can run over them as if they are a common stream [such as "tsocks links www.google.co.za"] | 23:45 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/ppp-ssh.html | 23:45 |
| _Whipper | pvtpete, : nope, just to pick a beer and a smoke | 23:45 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, if the ssh connection keeps dropping then a VPN may not have any better luck. | 23:46 |
| pvtpete | oh ok | 23:46 |
| pvtpete | :) | 23:46 |
| pvtpete | why would the live cd dump me to a CLI though ? | 23:46 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, can I use nmap to isolate the windows box? maybe remotly shut down the IIS service? | 23:46 |
| pvtpete | shouldn't it just run from the cd (it's worked before0 | 23:46 |
| pvtpete | loads of times | 23:47 |
| vocx | gartral, if you are using the restricted drivers you should probably complain with NVidia themselves. Also, search the forum, maybe someone has already experience with it. Maybe nobody can solve the issue, which means it's a problem with the drivers. | 23:47 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, nmap shoule be able to find it. remote shutdown? possible... can you remote-desktop into it? | 23:47 |
| Sna4x8 | gd, I'd have to be a hacker to burn a cd in this os. | 23:48 |
| gartral | Reidy: search therepos for IPv6, i think you might have tunneling issues, but beyond that, you might use a networking cable, also, as a side note, try knoppix or backtrack to see if its a general linux issue | 23:48 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, lol, I wish. if that was the case, I would have killed it allready | 23:48 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, what is the problem? is it 'borrowing' the IP address of the real server? | 23:48 |
| afreq | hello | 23:49 |
| Wanderer | wonder if my bloodyisp is throttling my apt-get upgrade | 23:49 |
| gartral | vocx: i initially installed the restricted drivers cause someone said that would fix the issue, and i know aLOT of people who have this card, and there all running fine | 23:49 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, when I try to connect to the HTTP, it keeps going to an IIS server page. and I don't know why it dropps the SSH connection occasionally. | 23:49 |
| gartral | Wanderer: take it up with them | 23:49 |
| vocx | gartral, oh, in that case, you should ask them. | 23:49 |
| afreq | Wanderer...you should talk to those people then :p | 23:49 |
| Wanderer | they'll just deny it, have to figure out to prove it first | 23:49 |
| gartral | i did, they said ask here >.< | 23:49 |
| Wanderer | will have to look into that switzerland thing | 23:49 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, is the HTTP connection going to the same box as the SSH connection? | 23:49 |
| afreq | gartral i mean | 23:50 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, yes, this is a remote office, and everything (http, ftp, IMAP, POP, ssh, smtp, etc) is going to the same box | 23:50 |
| gartral | afreq|vocx: i did, they said ask here, same as nvidia support | 23:50 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, then the intern decided to "move" all of the servers from the office we closed to this office, and then plugged the old office's PCs into the router that they were orignally connected to, then uplinked that into the existing network | 23:51 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, as you're asking about VPN's I'm assuming this whole mess is behind a gateway of some kind. DNAT messed up? the other thing I can think of is that the windows box is using the same IP address and every now and then it wind the ARP-wars and kicks off your real server. | 23:51 |
| AU-8423 | /join #gentoo | 23:51 |
| gartral | afreq|vocx: i asked if it could be because i have a 5:4 monitor, or if the port only operates at 4x AGP, they all said that those shouldn't matter | 23:51 |
| Tarantulafudge | lol arp wars | 23:51 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, is there a way to put this server @ the top of the "food chain" to prevent the windows servers from fighting with it when they call an election? | 23:52 |
| ]Prometheus[ | what is the best way to kill the X server until next reboot ? | 23:52 |
| vocx | gartral, don't use the | symbol, separate our nicknames with spaces, that way it highlight properly | 23:52 |
| Reidy | @ Gartral: Check your IM's, I sent you one....that was like speaking a foreign language. Don't know what you just asaid..lol | 23:52 |
| Sna4x8 | . /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 23:52 |
| gartral | vocx: sorry, pidgin did that | 23:52 |
| afreq | to be honest i don't know i just thought i'd throw in a cheeky comment :p | 23:52 |
| afreq | i'm only in here cos i've got to build an IRC client for uni | 23:53 |
| vocx | gartral, real men use xchat to irc | 23:53 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, not an election thing (WINS), it sounds more like an ARP thing, i.e. the windows box has the same static IP address as the real server. When the gateway does an ARP request it sometimes gets the windows box (and you get an IIS page) and sometimes the real (ubuntu?) server (and you getssh, temporarily) | 23:53 |
| wandana | \join xml | 23:53 |
| ScottG489 | How do i uninstall all of a packages dependencies? Like all the packages that come with another package when you install it? | 23:53 |
| Gnea | jeeves: do you have the http server redefined in dns or a hosts file? | 23:53 |
| ]Prometheus[ | ok, ty | 23:53 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, can you remote-admin the gateway? | 23:53 |
| jeeves | Gnea, yes, the DNS is external to the site though | 23:54 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, naaa, our ISP is a b**ch. they don't allow us access to the router | 23:54 |
| Gnea | jeeves: is the site full of real ip's or private address ranges? | 23:54 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, any trained monkeys on-site that could unplug the windows box? | 23:54 |
| jeeves | Gnea, the site is behind a router. and we don't have access to it. (trust me, I'd LOVE to slap the ISP's admin). | 23:55 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, naaa, the monkey buggerd off and turned his phone off. If I have to go out there, all hell is going to break loose | 23:55 |
| unop | ScottG489, aptitude remove package #should do it. | 23:55 |
| Gnea | jeeves: by 'site', I was referring to the IP-segment, not the web server | 23:55 |
| CokeNCode | k guys, how do i get my blackberry pearl to work with ubuntu ? | 23:55 |
| sir_yodle | does Wine have a very large footprint? | 23:56 |
| CokeNCode | i wanna upload some custom ringtones | 23:56 |
| jeeves | Gnea, oh, sorry. it's all internal IPs behind a NAT | 23:56 |
| _Whipper | !ot | 23:56 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 23:56 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, OK... here's where it gets nasty. ssh into the server (ubuntu, right?) and then ping-flood the gateway (run the ping-flood with a time-limit, just in case). It'll keep the ARP tables full of the 'right' information and should allow you to keep your SSH session up. | 23:57 |
| Gnea | jeeves: ah, okay. well if they aren't running an internal DNS server then it sounds poorly setup. you could always clamp down arp addresses if you've got the access. | 23:57 |
| FlareDS | jeeves: you should have setup port forwarding | 23:57 |
| Gnea | sprinkmeier: why ping-flood when the arp command can lock it in place? | 23:58 |
| sprinkmeier | Gnea, it's the gateway's ARP table you're trying to fix in place, not the servers. | 23:58 |
| FernandoF | hello | 23:58 |
| afreq | arg bugs in my client | 23:58 |
| jeeves | Gnea, lol, trust me, if this wasn't the only high speed connection option in the area, I'd be all over it. the network Natzi won't allow ANYTHING to run on the network (including e-mail (allthough, we have ours running) even on a business account). | 23:58 |
| afreq | if you type a ":" in your message everything after dissapears! | 23:58 |
| jeeves | FlareDS: I'd love to, but we don't have access to the router | 23:59 |
| ScottG489 | unop: no that just removes the single package | 23:59 |
| * Flare183 = FlareDS | 23:59 | |
| Gnea | sprinkmeier: if enough servers could set the gateway... | 23:59 |
| Flare183 | jeeves: That sucks | 23:59 |
| jj_galvez | compiz raise on click is broken | 23:59 |
| LjL | ScottG489: not when done with aptitude, no | 23:59 |
| LjL | ScottG489: alternatively anyway, sudo apt-get autoremove packagename | 23:59 |
| Flare183 | !hi | FernandoF | 23:59 |
