| ubottu | FernandoF: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ScottG489 | LjL: let me try that | 00:00 |
| jeeves | Flare183, no kidding. we're trying to change it though. I think the local cable company is getting close to the site, so the second it does, we're OFF the wireless link | 00:00 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, so, any other ideas on how to find this windows box and shut it down? | 00:00 |
| FernandoF | I have my system blockedd.... message is session with less than 10 seconds | 00:00 |
| sprinkmeier | Gnea, I'm assuming the windows box is out of control, so there's no way to stop it from poisoning ARP caches. The only thing to do is to flood them with the right info. ugly! | 00:00 |
| FernandoF | may I have help? | 00:00 |
| Flare183 | jeeves: ahh ok | 00:00 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, ping of death? NMAP OS scan (sometimes crashes unpatched boxes) other assorted network-malware nasties? | 00:01 |
| Flare183 | !ask | FernandoF | 00:01 |
| ubottu | FernandoF: 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. :-) | 00:01 |
| jeeves | Flare183, so, unless we can get someone to let us "tie onto" their DNS server, we're kinda stuck | 00:01 |
| ScottG489 | LjL: Still is just removing that single package | 00:01 |
| vocx | LjL, are you sure aptitude doesn't remove dependencies? | 00:01 |
| Flare183 | jeeves: oh ok | 00:01 |
| LjL | vocx: no, i'm sure of the contrary | 00:01 |
| FernandoF | my system doesnot allow me get in ans says "session ended with less than 10 seconds" | 00:01 |
| LjL | ScottG489: then the packages it depends on are all needed, or marked as manually installed | 00:02 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, well, I don't want to literly kill the box (otherwise I'll have to rebuild it), and I only have SSH access to the Ubuntu box | 00:02 |
| FernandoF | it happened after i tryed to get sme space with kleensweep | 00:02 |
| ScottG489 | LjL: hm, i dont see what else would need compiz libraries besides compiz... | 00:02 |
| jeeves | how do I connect to another session that I got disconnected from? | 00:02 |
| LjL | ScottG489: check. "apt-cache rdepends packagename" | 00:02 |
| === johnny_ is now known as Guest91034 | ||
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, try to nmap it to get an idea of what it's running (RDP, telnet, ???) ssh in, then run screen so you can resume killed SSH sessions | 00:03 |
| LjL | ScottG489: where the package name would be the compiz library concerned | 00:03 |
| avuton | gnome-panel isn't starting in jaunty here lately. I have to kill it to make it work(!). Any ideas how I could start to figure out the problem? | 00:03 |
| LjL | !jaunty > avuton (avuton, see the private message from ubottu) | 00:04 |
| ScottG489 | LjL: Well i cant just check each package mostly because I dont know what i am looking for. I guess i just want to know everything that was installed with compiz | 00:04 |
| admin_masu3701 | do anyone knows how to use irssi. when i access it, it just say [(status)] | 00:04 |
| admin_masu3701 | how to connect? | 00:04 |
| LjL | ScottG489: was it installed recently? | 00:04 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, I'm cheawing on the subnet that the box is on looking on port 80, and I can't seem to find the box | 00:04 |
| 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"] | 00:04 |
| jj_galvez | I turned compiz off and I still can not bring up a window when I click on it | 00:04 |
| jrib | admin_masu3701: http://www.irssi.org/documentation checkout the startup HOWTO | 00:05 |
| ScottG489 | LjL: yup | 00:05 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, argh.. of course not, nmap probes to the address won't leave the box (as the server thinks it owns them). Any other boxes there? | 00:05 |
| LjL | Scottthen /var/log/dpkg.log should have the list of what was installed | 00:05 |
| === [Prometheus] is now known as ]Prometheus[ | ||
| armence | Hey all... So, I have a significant amount of music and I wanted to know if there was a good piece of software to organize it... | 00:05 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, there are regular workstations there. I don't know why I can't find this other server | 00:05 |
| ScottG489 | LjL: ok ill check it out | 00:06 |
| Miyavix3 | armence: What do you mean organize? | 00:06 |
| FernandoF | i can not get in my system and I have some messages from /etc/gdm/Xsession, anyone may help me? | 00:06 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, because it's probably camping out on your IP address so the ubuntu server won't route any packets to it. | 00:06 |
| Miyavix3 | Songbird is a nice program, but it's a music player | 00:06 |
| jeeves | any other ideas on how I can find it? | 00:06 |
| armence | Miyavix3: Well, I used to have iTunes (back when I used Windows) which had all kinds of search functions and all kinds of ways to arrange music by album author etc... | 00:07 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, I assume you're port-forwarding to the ubuntu server? any way to change the port forwarding configuration? | 00:07 |
| dronix | armence: banshee | 00:07 |
| Miyavix3 | armence: The default music player for ubuntu is nice, banshee, songbird are all good too | 00:07 |
| FernandoF | my problem happened after i deleted empty directoriesand files with kleensweep | 00:08 |
| LjL | !info balance | Stevethepirate | 00:08 |
| ubottu | balance (source: balance): Load balancing solution and generic tcp proxy. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.35-2 (intrepid), package size 18 kB, installed size 80 kB | 00:08 |
| LjL | !info pen | Stevethepirate | 00:08 |
| ubottu | pen (source: pen): Load balancer for "simple" tcp based protocols. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.18.0-1 (intrepid), package size 54 kB, installed size 180 kB | 00:08 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, the box (from what I understand of the config), it's just an open (DMZ) connection to the network | 00:08 |
| armence | Thanks, I'll give a shot to both banshee and songbird... By the way, I purchased some music on iTunes, is there any way to use it without iTunes? | 00:08 |
| Miyavix3 | I'm fairly certain you can, if you have the right codecs. | 00:08 |
| ScottG489 | LjL: i guess not recently enough | 00:08 |
| Guest91034 | Anyone know how to alter the Resolution in Xubuntu? | 00:08 |
| armence | Miyavix3: Thanks | 00:09 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, what is the command to get nmap to show only windows boxes? | 00:09 |
| LjL | ScottG489: well there should also normally be /var/dpkg/dpkg.log.1, etc | 00:09 |
| LjL | ScottG489: try "zgrep main-package-name /var/log/dpkg*" | 00:09 |
| dronix | armence: GTK iTunes Store Application | 00:09 |
| vocx | LjL, zgrep? | 00:09 |
| Guest91034 | anyone know how to change to 1280 x 800 resolution? | 00:10 |
| LjL | vocx: grepz in .gz files. | 00:10 |
| LjL | err, greps. | 00:10 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, nmap -O attempts host OS detection. You can grep that for windows boxes, but you can't tell nap to only scan windows boxes. | 00:10 |
| vocx | LjL, he he, too much Zzz | 00:10 |
| armence | dronix: thanks | 00:10 |
| Ykstort | excuse me gentlemen, how do i tell ALSA to use my emu10k1 sound card rather than the horrible staticy motherboard sound output? | 00:10 |
| cmdbbq | anyone here know their way around an fstab file? i am trying to move my home directory to a seperate hard drive but i can't get it to mount properly by which i mean at all | 00:10 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, I don't get what's causing it to refuse SSH connections though | 00:10 |
| Ykstort | xubuntu install decided to use thel atter by default | 00:10 |
| Ykstort | and im not too happy about it | 00:11 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, if I'm right though and the windows box is using the same IP address as the ubuntu box then nmap will _never_ find it as packets for its IP address will never leave the box. | 00:11 |
| Ykstort | stroganoff is tasty | 00:11 |
| Stroganoff | Ykstort is dstort'D | 00:11 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, the gateway's ARP table is being poisoned by the windows boxes MAC details. ssh packets are being sent to the windows box where, as 22 isn't open, they're rejected. | 00:11 |
| Ndshacker | why is firefox so slow ;( | 00:11 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, touche that's what I was thinking | 00:11 |
| Stroganoff | Ndshacker: try disabling ipv6 | 00:12 |
| KarlsBerg87 | hello guys | 00:12 |
| Ndshacker | I already did | 00:12 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, as I said, it seems that it works every so often, then it just dropps the connection | 00:12 |
| Chaorain | Does anyone know where I can get a Metacity logo? | 00:12 |
| Miyavix3 | Ok I have a question too. I used the Wubi installer, meaning I installed ubuntu while working inside Winxp. For some reason my ubuntu won't boot. The error is: "Win could not boot because 'sys32/hal.dll' is corrupt or missig" Which is troubling me because I'm booting ubuntu... Any ideas? | 00:12 |
| Ndshacker | It takes a long time to load Google | 00:13 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, the ping-flood should keep the ARP table in the router correct. ugly kludge. you're not paying for traffic to the gateway, are you? | 00:13 |
| Ndshacker | Is it because I am downloading stuff? | 00:13 |
| Miyavix3 | Ndshacker:yes | 00:13 |
| FernandoF | my system does not allow me to get in and returns the message "session timed out with less than 10 seconds. it couldmean you have no disk space or may have installation problems" | 00:13 |
| Ykstort | I just installed Xubuntu and sound only works on the motherboard's line out, which is staticy and awful, my sound blaster live sound card doesnt put out any sound. so xubuntu's installer must've chosen the motherboard one by default. How do i rectify this? | 00:13 |
| Stroganoff | firefox on linux really has some problems... | 00:14 |
| KarlsBerg87 | this morning i start my ubuntu in my aspire one as each day, yesterday i close my ubuntu linux without problems later of write a bit of code in eclipse, i dont remember update any kernel, today my atheros madwifi wifi dont work, this is common when update a kernel, then i go to make make install and modprobe ath_pci again, but without success, someone have same problem¿ | 00:14 |
| Nalf | Fglrx broke my X! Gahhh pffftbah. | 00:14 |
| Stroganoff | Chaorain: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/metacity/metacity.png | 00:14 |
| Chaorain | go with opera | 00:14 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, mad scheme: add an alias IP address to the ubuntu box. use autossh to set up a reverse tunnel. Connect back into the box using that reverse tunnel. drop the conflicted IP address. All the gateway's port forwarding will then go to the windows box, so you won't have any services, but at least the ARP wars will be over and you can work in peace. | 00:14 |
| pseudomorph | anyone have an idea why the 8.10 installer does not see my hdd while 7.04 and parted magic have no issues? | 00:14 |
| Chaorain | Stroganoff, thanks | 00:14 |
| Ndshacker | Yeah :S, I hate how torrents slow down my Computer almost as slow as xp O.O | 00:14 |
| Nalf | How do I uninstall fglrx? | 00:14 |
| Ykstort | how do i tell alsa to use my sound card not my motherboard? (sound card is sound blaster live emu10k1) | 00:15 |
| Chaorain | Nalf, try Synaptic package manager | 00:15 |
| Nalf | chaorain: I don't have a gui. | 00:15 |
| SpuddlyMcMartin | hey, anyone know how to change to 1280 x 800 resolution? | 00:15 |
| FernandoF | any one available to help me? | 00:15 |
| Ndshacker | Oh I know now >.<, my mom is having a video chat :| | 00:16 |
| FernandoF | My system does not allow me to get in after i cleaned empty files and directories | 00:16 |
| Chaorain | Nalf, "sudo apt-get remove fglrx" should work | 00:16 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, ok, I got a hold of the monkey to disconnect the windows server. so we'll see if this works | 00:16 |
| Barridus | Does someone mind explaining what "nice" means in System Monitor/Processes? Googling for "nice" and "ubuntu" yields a slew of unrelated things, since Ubuntu is.... nice itself :p | 00:16 |

| jtaji | Barridus: nice is the priority for a process | 00:17 |
| sprinkmeier | jeeves, local monkey trumps ssh any day :-) | 00:17 |
| Barridus | jtaji, so higher "nice" means more priority? | 00:17 |
| Ndshacker | its pretty self-explainitory, Drive Mount point Type Otions 0 0 | 00:17 |
| jeeves | sprinkmeier, lol, this is true. and I think he's afraid of me | 00:17 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 01:04 |

| Vantrax | Jackaruto, thats probably going to be cause by the client side setup for VNC actually requiring a GUI to work with | 01:24 |

| Rabbitbunny | CompCrash: I doubt this. Rechack the specs. | 01:27 |
| crdlb | CompCrash: I kind of doubt that, 1600x1050 maybe? | 01:27 |
| _Whipper | CompCrash, : i suggest 1440x900 | 01:27 |
| _pHI_ | how can i inspect the contents/script of an ubuntu package? i.e. what exactly happens when install emacs-snapshot? | 01:27 |
| Vantrax | CompCrash, unless your laptop is custom built, its not going to be 1600x800 | 01:28 |
| Guest55963 | I tried installing compiz mangement thing but it wont allow me to.. | 01:28 |
| tritium | _pHI_: apt-file, if it's in the repos. dpkg --contents, if you have the .deb | 01:28 |

| juken | _Whipper: I'm sure someone in this channel might have some experience with it, so I might as well ask | 01:41 |
| crdlb | CompCrash: ok, you need to remove that Virtual line, or if you don't feel like it, you can just nuke it entirely with: sudo dexconf | 01:41 |
| crdlb | then restart X | 01:41 |
| DavidLovesMint | no idea about the v86d package being installed? | 01:42 |

| RickZilla | DavidLovesMint: So I've heard...I had also hoped some tweaking would improve the situation | 01:44 |
| DavidLovesMint | rick.. open up your package manager and search for v86d | 01:44 |
| juken | bigrigger: he'd want to use -P0 most likely | 01:44 |

| crdlb | GaMeBoY439: but it can be installed onto ubuntu | 02:18 |
| crdlb | and vice versa | 02:18 |
| bigrigger | sharidog: in a terminal type uname -m | 02:18 |
| scunizi | sharidog: if they don't know the answer you won't get one. lots of people help several at the same time so you might need some patents | 02:18 |
| LjL | mylisto: #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:18 |
| GaMeBoY439 | so i'd have to install ubunto 8.10 fist, and then install kde afterwards? | 02:18 |
| bz0b | mylisto, it's where people talk about things that are off the topic of the channel | 02:18 |
| crdlb | GaMeBoY439: or get a kubuntu 8.10 image | 02:19 |
| mylisto | I just have a simple question about skype | 02:19 |
| sharidog | bigrigger: i686 | 02:19 |
| bigrigger | sharidog: 32 bit | 02:19 |
| GaMeBoY439 | oh ok, i'll see if the kubuntu sites offers the 8.10 image, thanks | 02:19 |

| adrian_2002ca | Nalf: kk...the applet is being really slow for some reason | 02:23 |
| Nalf | adrian_2002ca, my advice is to uninstall the driver, reinstall it, (all with the device unpluggeD) and then plug it in. | 02:23 |
| Nalf | adrian_2002ca, the applet doesn't load for me at all, I have to use the command line. | 02:24 |
| _Whipper | GaMeBoY439, : just cable in, and do what u need | 02:24 |
| Nalf | adrian_2002ca, also.. until you have it installed lsusb would not work for me. | 02:24 |
| usser | jayg, well how big is the drive? | 02:24 |
| adrian_2002ca | Nalf: kk | 02:24 |
| scunizi | GaMeBoY439: there are several.. however you are not guaranteed that any will work with your phone.. google for your phone like .. google Motorola<model> ubuntu sync | 02:24 |
| jayg | usser: it is 60 GB | 02:24 |
| GaMeBoY439 | will linux automatically detect my windows mobile phone? specifically, i have a sprint htc touch, with windows mobile 6.1, and i am gonna install ubuntu 8.10 | 02:24 |
| usser | jayg, yea 24hrs is a bit too much. | 02:24 |
| Strawberryjam | just the syncing of the phone...but i just picked up that its pretty much romoveable drive...IE. drag and drop | 02:24 |
| _Whipper | works with N96 Nokia.. | 02:25 |
| usser | jayg, dont really know what to tell you, i wouldnt suggest terminating it since it may break stuff | 02:25 |
| GaMeBoY439 | scunizi: oh ok i see, thank you | 02:25 |
| tritium | GaMeBoY439: via bluetooth? | 02:25 |

| jayg | i do have everything backed up at least | 02:26 |

| adrian_2002ca | Nalf: 2 reboots did the tricl | 02:28 |
| GaMeBoY439 | scunizi: that's a good idea, that would tell me if linux will work with everything that's on my laptop | 02:28 |
| Nalf | adrian_2002ca, awesome. all connected? | 02:29 |
| GaMeBoY439 | yes whipper, i am 100% new to linux, but i have to get it, so i'll learn, not just abandon the effort | 02:29 |

| juken | WebDawg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 02:30 |
| GaMeBoY439 | whipper: don't worry, i'll try not to fry my pc, and if all else fails i can just go back to xp, lol | 02:30 |
| unop | !lamp > WebDawg | 02:30 |
| ubottu | WebDawg, please see my private message | 02:30 |
| WebDawg | does that install phpmyadmin | 02:30 |
| GaMeBoY439 | juken: thanks | 02:30 |
| _Whipper | !lamp | 02:30 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 02:30 |

| lstarnes | needhelp: ##c++ | 02:31 |
| juken | WebDawg: if not just sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin | 02:31 |
| Dreamglider | GaMeBoY439: so does my cardreader :) | 02:31 |
| Ndshacker | How can I remote control a Windows pc from Ubuntu | 02:31 |
| WebDawg | wtf | 02:31 |
| WebDawg | cant they condense that into one command | 02:32 |
| juken | Ndshacker: VNC or Remote desktop | 02:32 |
| Dreamglider | Ndshacker: vnc | 02:32 |
| GaMeBoY439 | bigrigger & dreamglider: u guys have built-in card readers? | 02:32 |
| jayg | like sudo apt-get install lamp? lol | 02:32 |
| Dreamglider | GaMeBoY439: yes | 02:32 |
| juken | jayg: =P | 02:32 |
| Ndshacker | !vnc | 02:32 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 02:32 |
| Ndshacker | !freenx | 02:32 |
| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 02:32 |
| GaMeBoY439 | oh ok cool | 02:32 |

| _Whipper | GaMeBoY439, : doesnt everyone? | 02:33 |
| GaMeBoY439 | so i think i have/know everything i need to make the big switch, does anyone have any last minute critical advice? (i'll try live cd/dvd first before install) | 02:33 |

| WebDawg | heh | 02:33 |
| juken | GaMeBoY439: don't give up if it's something you want | 02:33 |
| juken | GaMeBoY439: :) | 02:33 |
| WebDawg | how about sudo apt-get install LAMP | 02:33 |
| WebDawg | wouldnt that work? | 02:33 |
| WebDawg | heheh | 02:33 |
| Dreamglider | GaMeBoY439: backup your data on the windows partition ! | 02:33 |
| GaMeBoY439 | whipper: he said out of box, it made it seem like an external one to me, not sure if those exist or not, lol | 02:34 |
| jayg | ok... can anyone tell me what multiply-claimed blocks in inode means? | 02:34 |
| _Whipper | back-up is for p***ies | 02:34 |
| lstarnes | .21 | 02:34 |
| lstarnes | oops | 02:34 |
| WebDawg | dam | 02:34 |
| GaMeBoY439 | lol | 02:34 |
| WebDawg | ill just wait for the server cd to download | 02:34 |
| WebDawg | only 4 more hours | 02:35 |
| GaMeBoY439 | dreamglider: thanks for the tip, i dont have that many important unrecoverable things on my laptop, so i dont really need to | 02:35 |
| Dreamglider | _Whipper: what do you do when your harddisk dies then ? | 02:35 |
| sketch_ | how do i see what driver i have installed for my wifi | 02:35 |
| jayg | doesn't the ubuntu install give you the option to install lamp automagically? | 02:35 |
| juken | sketch_: lsmod | 02:35 |
| juken | jayg: yup, think so | 02:35 |
| GaMeBoY439 | the most important things are like docs (which i have on usb drive) and combat arms, which is a freeware fps i can always redownload :-D | 02:35 |
| _Whipper | 16th beer, and work begins.. abaout 2.5h :) | 02:35 |
| dreamy | having many packages installed will make the system heavyer? or not at all ? | 02:35 |
| juken | _Whipper: that's what I like to hear | 02:36 |
| Dreamglider | GaMeBoY439: well then go for it :) | 02:36 |
| sketch_ | what should my wifi be under in lsmod ieee? | 02:36 |
| juken | dreamy: depends on the specs of the machine, of course bloating it too much will make it slow | 02:36 |
| baz_ | i forgot whether i UN-istalled vmware, how do i check if it is still there | 02:36 |
| juken | sketch_: what kind of wireless card is it? | 02:36 |
| jayg | _Whipper: I hope those aren't tallboys of high life | 02:36 |
| dreamy | juken: ok. | 02:36 |
| sketch_ | i can check | 02:36 |
| sketch_ | i'll look it up | 02:36 |
| _Whipper | Dreamglider, : it wont DIE, just.. use a live-distro and get all back :) | 02:36 |
| juken | baz_: whereis vmware ? | 02:37 |
| juken | lol | 02:37 |
| Dreamglider | _Whipper: what IF it died ! then you'd be ****** if you dont backup ! | 02:37 |

| juken | Kingsy101: /etc/apache2/ | 02:38 |
| Kingsy101 | thanks | 02:38 |
| baz_ | juken, what do u mean where is it | 02:38 |
| Dreamglider | it's always a good idea to backup important stuff. i do get your drift however:) testdisk and photorec are preddy damn good indeed :P | 02:38 |
| juken | baz_: whereis is a command | 02:38 |
| juken | sketch_: sec, looking it up | 02:39 |
| _Whipper | what i know for a fact. You cant Physically break your HD with software | 02:39 |
| baz_ | juken, it usually started up automatically, i never really "ran it" manually hehe | 02:39 |
| mylisto | I've got this game that I want to install | 02:39 |
| juken | sketch_: try lsmod | grep -i bcm | 02:39 |
| mylisto | the script is here | 02:39 |
| mylisto | http://thilo.kickchat.com/download/worldofpadman.run | 02:39 |
| juken | baz_: you're just curious if it's still on your machine? | 02:39 |
| baz_ | juken, yeah | 02:39 |
| Ndshacker | how can I hide the vnc from the taskbar in the xp machine | 02:40 |
| baz_ | juken, i would normally look in "program files" for example | 02:40 |
| juken | Ndshacker: I think if you run it as a service, though don't hold me to that | 02:40 |
| juken | baz_: check /usr/bin/ | 02:40 |
| juken | baz_: or /usr/local/bin/ | 02:40 |
| juken | baz_: or just open your terminal, type in vm and then press tab twice :) | 02:40 |
| baz_ | juken, the last one worked, i see it :) | 02:41 |
| juken | mylisto: wget http://thilo.kickchat.com/download/worldofpadman.run | 02:41 |
| juken | mylisto: then chmod +x worldofpadman.run | 02:42 |
| juken | mylisto: then ./worldofpadman | 02:42 |
| Ndshacker | juken: so I would need to reboot i? | 02:42 |
| juken | Ndshacker: which vnc server are you using? | 02:43 |
| juken | Ndshacker: tightvnc or realvnc? | 02:43 |
| sketch_ | i have the broadcom sta wireless driver but I lost the control panel and I can't find it in the add to panel thingy | 02:44 |
| sketch_ | please help | 02:44 |
| redvamp128 | sketch_: try notification area | 02:44 |
| Zeroyez | anyone here ever used ddclient? | 02:44 |
| Ndshacker | tightvnc | 02:45 |
| Ndshacker | I can get realvnc very easily if required | 02:45 |
| redvamp128 | sketch_: That is what/where the network manager resides... it is called the notification area for the add to panel. | 02:45 |
| juken | Ndshacker: I've always preferred realvnc | 02:45 |
| Ndshacker | Ok :) | 02:45 |
| Ndshacker | juken: which is faster? | 02:46 |
| |shad0w| | anyone familiar with ucf? During our automated installs I manual update grubs menu.lst before the apt updates and I'm looking for the best way to get ucf to recognize the "local" changes so it doesn't attempt to prompt during an unattened update. | 02:46 |
| juken | Ndshacker: I've had a faster experience with realvnc, but it's been a while. | 02:46 |
| Ndshacker | juken: I need file transfer though | 02:47 |
| juken | Ndshacker: hmm... does the file transfer have to be over vnc? o.0 | 02:47 |
| Ndshacker | No, but it would make it easier | 02:48 |
| juken | Ndshacker: how about just using file sharing via smb? | 02:48 |
| Ndshacker | :s | 02:48 |
| Ndshacker | !smb | 02:48 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 02:48 |
| Ndshacker | Thank god for ubottu :) | 02:48 |
| juken | Ndshacker: you could just use smbclient | 02:49 |
| juken | Ndshacker: Ubuntu also offers it through the GUI from Places -> Connect to Server | 02:49 |

| Dante123 | hi all, trying to install ubuntu on a IBM netvista. Had to make some changes in bios. Finally installed ubuntu. The pc has two hard drives so we made one the root, and the other the /home. I'll be doing somethign and all of a sudden (SMACKS ANNOYING FLYBACK) it will reboot for no apparent reason. Any suggestions? | 02:53 |
| redvamp128 | L3dPlatedLinux: unless you are wanting to post it to a site there is a 'sudo lshw -sanitize ' also | 02:53 |
| lakotajames | can someone help me export a video from kino? It's kinda important. | 02:53 |
| bacon1989 | Dante123: by restart, does it just restart the Xscreen or the entire computer will restart? | 02:54 |

| TimReichhart | I got a question can I do dual booting on linux because I want to have one hard drive for ubuntu and other hard drive for pclinuxos can I do that on one machine> | 02:56 |
| baz_ | if this is my line is fstab: "UUID=8ea6d959-7fdb-4e62-b973-f3396c359486 /vm ext3 relatime 0 2" where would I add "umask" and "uid" to be able to give my user the proper perms? | 02:56 |
| _Whipper | yesd | 02:56 |
| _Whipper | -d | 02:56 |
| _Whipper | no | 02:56 |
| unop | baz, with ext3 filesystems - you give permissions using the chmod and chown commands - not with those fstab options. | 02:57 |
| c0l2e | how can I enable the console features of opensuse the page-up and page-down to automatically browse previous entered command?? | 02:57 |
| Ndshacker | !realvnc | 02:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about realvnc | 02:58 |
| c0l2e | like $> ls -lah | 02:58 |

| TimReichhart | I got a question can I do dual booting on linux because I want to have one hard drive for ubuntu and other hard drive for pclinuxos can I do that on one machine> | 02:58 |
| c0l2e | the when I do $> ls then press PAGEUP or PAGEDOWN.. it will show the previous command with ls | 02:58 |
| baz_ | unop, that seems much more convenient! If I change the perms now like i normally would it will stay when i reboot? | 02:58 |
| ikrel | TimRiechhart: yes | 02:58 |
| unop | baz, if you used chmod, yes | 02:59 |

| ShinyHat | will someone help me do some basic backing-up for a reinstall? | 03:00 |
| usser | baz_, oh sorry someone already answered | 03:00 |
| Ndshacker | x11vnc wont work, is linux only :( | 03:00 |

| c0l2e | unop: I know i mean for ubuntu is it possible to have that feature in console that when you type a previous command and press PAGEDOWN or PAGEUP it will show the previous sets of command with parameter/arguments ?? | 03:00 |
| c0l2e | unop: like when I did $ls -lah | 03:01 |
| eseven73 | Ndshacker: what os are you using? i assumed you used Linux! | 03:01 |
| stew | bacon1989: umask=777 means all files will appear as chmod 000 meaning nobody can read or write any file | 03:01 |
| c0l2e | the I enter $>ls then press PAGEUP .. i will recommend the previous $ls -lah | 03:01 |

| melik | i have no idea why its outputting the video in a different window | 03:03 |
| Titan8990 | melik, I think it does that when you have opengl enabled | 03:03 |
| bacon1989 | thanks for the help, everythings in working order now | 03:03 |

| bcog | thank you bigrigger | 03:04 |
| melik | Titan8990, where is it enabled? compiz? | 03:04 |
| Titan8990 | melik, its tools -> preferences -> video -> output in VLC | 03:05 |

| bcog | i like it thanks | 03:06 |
| Titan8990 | melik, just try anything non-opengl and see if it has the wanted result | 03:06 |
| melik | allright thanks, ill give it a shot | 03:06 |
| ShinyHat | Titan 8990: i installed dual boot with xp couple weeks ago, /home on a separate partition. i have used it, liked it, but 64 bit seems to be more trouble than its worth | 03:06 |

| bcog | thanks! | 03:06 |
| usser | melik, are u running jaunty? | 03:07 |
| melik | yeah usser | 03:07 |
| baz_ | in ubuntu there is always a *group* by the same name as the primary user - is this just so that there is something to put for perms? That is, I shouldn't really be using the *baz* group for any real stuff right? | 03:07 |
| unop | bcog, I don't think you can use it in an alias - I had to use a function instead. | 03:07 |
| ShinyHat | Titan 8990: wanna install 32 bit instead, but too new to know how to backup :) | 03:07 |

| Thisdude | hey i just got a new usb flash drive and when i try and open it up it says "unable to mount volume" anyone experianced this before it works on windows | 03:08 |
| Titan8990 | ShinyHat, if you have a seperate /home partition you can install a new OS without touching it | 03:08 |
| bcog | how about i make a script?? | 03:08 |
| bcog | i like it | 03:08 |
| Titan8990 | ShinyHat, and specify it to mount at /home for the new install | 03:08 |
| usser | melik, its a long standing bug in vlc, its been worked around in intrepid, but it was rather an unsafe hack so they decided to get rid of it. its somewhat hard to fix from what i've read in bugreport. | 03:08 |

| bcog | wow thank you!!! | 03:09 |
| bcog | you made my day =) | 03:09 |

| ShinyHat | Titan 8990: there isnt much- emails, a few documents, but i have half of a 9gb torrent from transmission. is everything for that stored on /home? | 03:09 |
| Thisdude | baz_: id say thatd b the one, any way i can get linux to load these or find some generic drivers that will help? | 03:09 |
| FFEMTcJ | Is there a PPA somewhere that has the current firefox 3.1 on it? | 03:09 |
| Titan8990 | ShinyHat, should be, unless you specified otherwise | 03:10 |

| Titan8990 | ShinyHat, but your regular user shouldn't really have anywhere that they can write to other than /home | 03:10 |

| ShinyHat | Titan 8990: yeah, usb drive- but it will all go back on /home when 32 bit is reinstalled | 03:11 |

| bcog | most people install rather | 03:29 |
| ScottG489 | I have a debian server downstairs. I have ubuntu on my desktop and ubuntu on my laptop (both 8.10). How can I connect them all on a network? | 03:29 |
| bruce89 | bcog: /usr/include and /usr/lib | 03:29 |
| bcog | bruce89, if i put it there, won't it be unaccessible except by root? | 03:29 |
| _Whipper | bcog, : now u sound just weird.. | 03:29 |
| bruce89 | bcog: but you shouldn't put stuff there manually | 03:29 |
| bruce89 | bcog: no | 03:29 |
| bcog | i want to install coin3d libraries | 03:29 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, plug them all into a routing device such as a router or switch | 03:30 |
| sharef | hey, i need a x11 server in vista that runs well with a openssh port | 03:30 |
| sprinkmeier | bcog, use the installer? | 03:30 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, and give them IP addresses in the same subnet, or have a DHCP server do it | 03:30 |
| bcog | bruce89, what do you mean i shouldn't put stuff there manually?.... don't i have to choose where i will put it? | 03:30 |
| bruce89 | bcog: no | 03:30 |
| _Whipper | sharef, : is this a vista# | 03:30 |
| sprinkmeier | sharef, last time I used X on windows it was cygwin-X. worked OK | 03:30 |
| bcog | sprinkmeier, coin3d still asks for where iwant them installed | 03:30 |
| bruce89 | bcog: ah | 03:30 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, or did you mean to ask, how can I network them together to do thing "x"? | 03:30 |
| sharef | cygwin-x? got it, ill look it up | 03:31 |
| bruce89 | bcog: what exactly does it ask? | 03:31 |
| ScottG489 | Titan8990: already done. I can ssh to them fine. I even have FreeNX set up on the desktop | 03:31 |
| bcog | well when i do my makefile, i'm thinking it's going to install it where my makefile is | 03:31 |
| sprinkmeier | bcog, does it give defaults? | 03:31 |
| ScottG489 | Titan8990: I just want to basically be able to share files | 03:31 |
| bcog | though i can specify probably where it builds the libraries | 03:31 |
| bcog | sprinkmeier, i think i need to specify | 03:31 |
| bcog | so should i specify usr/lib? | 03:31 |
| bcog | that sounds right | 03:31 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, if you already have ssh, I would just that to share files | 03:31 |
| Dante123 | could apic (or whatever the power management stuff is) make a netvista that I have installed ubuntu too reboot randomly or a little while after I log in? | 03:31 |
| bcog | sorry i'm just really starting to understand this stuff so ... before i would just dump it anywhere | 03:31 |
| ScottG489 | Titan8990: Place > Network doesnt show what it should | 03:32 |
| bruce89 | bcog: it should be prefix=/usr/local | 03:32 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, if you go to places -> connect to server you can connect to a ssh server | 03:32 |
| bcog | thanks bruce89 | 03:32 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, what does it show? | 03:32 |
| bcog | medibuntu first, coding libraries second =) | 03:32 |

| _Whipper | why dont people with "win"-issues just go to mikrosOft, and aska Gates.. | 03:32 |
| mylisto | I tried to install that game..using your directions | 03:32 |
| devilsF00d | I like DLINK | 03:32 |
| ScottG489 | Titan8990: Actually I take that back. I have VBox and it should still show that. | 03:32 |
| bacon1989 | ScottG489: What you're looking for is a samba share | 03:32 |
| sprinkmeier | bcog, if the library isn't mature enough to provide sane defaults then m,aybe you shouldn't be messing with it until you know your way around linux (i know I wouldn't!) | 03:32 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, you need select places -> "connect to server" | 03:32 |
| devilsF00d | and Buffalo | 03:32 |

| Titan8990 | ScottG489, there should be like 5 choices there... | 03:36 |
| devilsF00d | so really can't prevent ubuntu from accepting DHCP address... seems kinda like a flaw in the OS since it really does prevent ubuntu servers from using COX Communications network | 03:36 |
| meoblast001 | oh no.... i broke apt | 03:36 |
| bruce89 | *uses it | 03:36 |
| ScottG489 | Titan8990: well theres 7 total | 03:37 |
| torc | Cpudan80: do you know if you can use it though for source tars? | 03:37 |
| Cpudan80 | torc: i believe that's what its for yeah | 03:37 |
| devilsF00d | oh well I'de rather use a Windows Server anyway seems to be more stable | 03:37 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, is one scp? | 03:37 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, if you assign a astatic IP addrss then it won't ask for a DHCP. Accepting DHCP is the Right Thing to do unless you have static IP. | 03:37 |
| Cpudan80 | torc: There is some tool to make debs out of the tar.gzs --- I think it is build-dep | 03:37 |

| kgwhipp | is there a terminal command to autoupdate ubuntu? | 03:38 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, It's worked for me, i've set up loads of servers with static IP addresses. | 03:38 |
| Cpudan80 | torc: hmm yeah, dont know | 03:38 |
| _Whipper | jayg, :flashdrive? | 03:38 |
| devilsF00d | never ran into this with BSD | 03:38 |
| bruce89 | bcog: 3.0 is in Jaunty | 03:38 |
| Cpudan80 | try it and see? | 03:38 |
| bcog | but i'm using intrepid | 03:38 |
| torc | Cpudan80: alrighty, thanks anywhos. :) will do! :D | 03:38 |
| jayg | _Whipper: yeah, have a flash drive | 03:38 |
| bruce89 | I know | 03:38 |
| devilsF00d | it goes offline about 5 minutes after it gets online | 03:38 |
| Cpudan80 | torc: there is some tool to do what you want --- build debs out of tar.gz | 03:38 |
| yuri123 | Q: will changing the partition label of an ntfs partition destroy all data on that partition? | 03:39 |
| torc | Cpudan80: aight, i'll look for it =), thanks | 03:39 |
| Cpudan80 | devilsF00d: that is most likely some cox issue, I dont have problems with it | 03:39 |
| torc | =) | 03:39 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, maybe the 'going offline spontaneously' problem is the one you should tackle first. Then worry about DHCP. | 03:39 |
| bcog | so ... bruce89 can i get it from the repositories then? | 03:39 |
| bcog | i'm ok with 2.5 | 03:39 |
| Cpudan80 | devilsF00d: what exactly goes out? The network card? lose your DHCP lease? what? | 03:39 |
| ScottG489 | Titan8990: I'm not really getting how to use the smbclient | 03:39 |
| devilsF00d | i mean technically it never goes offline it just keeps getting kicked of the network cause it keeps accepting sending out DHCPDISCOVER | 03:40 |
| bruce89 | bcog: only if you use Jaunty for now | 03:40 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, because I'm not telling you to use smbclient? | 03:40 |
| ScottG489 | oh sorry | 03:40 |
| ScottG489 | :( | 03:40 |
| devilsF00d | so I can ping out but they won't let any traffic in to my static cause that MAC already has a new Address on their network | 03:40 |
| _Whipper | jayg, : wel.. then youll probaly know what u want, and do what it takes, i wont guide u any further.. :) | 03:40 |
| ScottG489 | Titan8990: What should i be using then? | 03:40 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, sftp, ssh, scp one of those should be a option in the protocol selection for that server connection | 03:41 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, how are you assigning the static IP address? | 03:41 |
| devilsF00d | the going off is the DHCP | 03:41 |
| lakotajames | is there another place I should go to ask about kino? | 03:41 |
| devilsF00d | iface eth1 inet static | 03:41 |
| jayg | _Whipper: ok, so i need to figure out how to get the package as a file, transfer to the other computer, and apt install from a file... | 03:41 |
| ScottG489 | Well I know I can just use command line interfaces to transfer files but I wanted something inside nautilus | 03:41 |
| juken | jayg: you mean like a .deb? | 03:41 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, ... and you're leaving dhcpclient running the inthe background? yupo... it'll re-request a DCHP lease then. Use network manager or some other magic to tell the system that it's a static IP address. | 03:42 |
| lakotajames | I need kino to work really soon. It's already 11:41 and I need ti tomorrow. | 03:42 |
| juken | jayg: in that case you could scp to another machine, then dpkg -i file.deb | 03:42 |
| _Whipper | jayg, :.iso ? | 03:42 |
| RickZilla | suck, I can't get Google Earth to work in ubuntu | 03:42 |
| jayg | juken: Yeah i guess so | 03:42 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, it is nautilus | 03:42 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, .... | 03:42 |
| usser | ScottG489, gftp | 03:42 |
| juken | jayg: what package specifically is it? | 03:42 |
| devilsF00d | sprinkmeier: and you're leaving dhcpclient running the inthe background? not sure what that means I would assume that the DHCP client is the NIC | 03:42 |
| Titan8990 | usser, goes gftp handle scp? | 03:42 |
| devilsF00d | how can I explicitly turn said client off? | 03:43 |
| jayg | juken: the problem is my new install does not even recognize my ethernet chipset... broadcom | 03:43 |
| usser | Titan8990, yep | 03:43 |
| juken | jayg: is it supported natively or do you need to use ndiswrapper? | 03:43 |
| ScottG489 | Titan8990: Why arent the other computers just showing up in network:/// | 03:43 |
| === V1psta is now known as np^Downtown1 | ||
| mylisto | juken: | 03:43 |
| usser | ScottG489, because network:// is for windows/samba only | 03:43 |
| mylisto | care to run me threw that installation process again | 03:43 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, if the system sees a NIC that it thinks should be configured using DHCP it starts dhcpclient. If you then assign a static IP address without killing dhcpclient then dhclclient will re-request the IP address periodically. The only way to fix this is to tell the system (via network manager or /etc files) that the device is supposed to be static. | 03:43 |
| ScottG489 | usser: Oh, hm ok. | 03:44 |
| eseven73 | is there a command to unlock cd drives? It only lets me access the cd once then it wont let me access it again without having to reboot the computer, this is getting very annoying because I need to burn like 3 disks tonight | 03:44 |
| juken | mylisto: sure, wget http://blah.com/file.run | 03:44 |
| jayg | the ethernet is supported in ubuntu, but i'm installing crunchbang and it doesn't recognize it | 03:44 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, because linux doesn't use protocols that generate a bunch of chatter on your network by default | 03:44 |
| juken | then: chmod +x file.run | 03:44 |
| juken | then: ./file.run | 03:44 |

| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, easiest way is to use network manager. Failing that mangle /etc/network/interfaces (I think... somewhat version dependant.) | 03:46 |
| _Whipper | eseven73, : i had that prblm too.. i use puppy for burning now.. | 03:46 |
| mylisto | juken: so the .run file is in the directory that I am in now | 03:46 |
| === Vantrax is now known as MatthewLye | ||
| steve1 | juken, im not sure what you mean by that | 03:47 |
| juken | mylisto: so chmod +x file.run | 03:47 |
| bcog | but that's for jaunty? | 03:47 |
| jayg | juken: I'm trying to install b43-fwcutter, and that goes and fetches firmware | 03:47 |
| bcog | that was for you, bruce89 | 03:47 |
| Titan8990 | juken, I would never go anywhere on the internet, and say "hey I got remote shell access to my machine available to the world" and then give them my IP address | 03:47 |
| juken | steve1: it's not able to access it through the firewall | 03:47 |
| mylisto | ok did that juken | 03:47 |
| === MatthewLye is now known as Vantrax | ||
| ScottG489 | usser: well im pretty sure i already have samba installed | 03:47 |
| bruce89 | bcog: I've backported coin3 to Intrepid | 03:47 |
| Titan8990 | juken, although, we already know his IP because he doesn't have a cloak | 03:47 |
| === Artemis_Fowl is now known as arte[away] | ||
| * arte[away] is now away: gone | 03:47 | |
| devilsF00d | so what you're saying then is that DHCP on ubuntu is broke... but not broke was made broken | 03:47 |
| bcog | woah | 03:47 |
| === arte[away] is now known as Artemis_Fowl | ||
| * Artemis_Fowl is back from: gone (been away for 3s) | 03:47 | |
| eseven73 | yea puppy is pretty nice for things like that | 03:47 |
| mylisto | didn't do anything | 03:47 |
| bruce89 | bcog: It'll need built still | 03:47 |
| xSlack_ | How do i unzip into a new folder | 03:47 |
| juken | Titan8990: then perhaps you need to rethink your password security :)( | 03:47 |
| juken | :) * | 03:47 |
| steve1 | juken, Im running it on a nonstandard port | 03:47 |
| ScottG489 | usser: I'm able to transfer files from my XP VM | 03:47 |
| juken | steve1: what port? | 03:47 |
| eseven73 | !away > Artemis_Fowl | 03:47 |
| ubottu | Artemis_Fowl, please see my private message | 03:47 |
| bcog | thank you very much! | 03:48 |
| juken | jayg: are you able to find a .deb of it? | 03:48 |
| jayg | juken is busy | 03:48 |
| bcog | um.... i don't know how to get it off this site... do i hit the 2 links by the folder icons? | 03:48 |
| juken | jayg: I'm busy? lol | 03:48 |
| ScottG489 | usser: How can I check to see if I have samba installed already? | 03:49 |
| jayg | juken: lots of people asking you for help is what i meant :D | 03:49 |
| juken | ah, lol | 03:49 |
| juken | and to think, I'm at work too | 03:49 |
| bruce89 | bcog: hang on | 03:49 |
| mylisto | hehe...lots of questions :D | 03:49 |
| mylisto | juken :D | 03:49 |
| mylisto | So I did that chmod thing... | 03:49 |
| devilsF00d | do I have run sudo killalldhclient? | 03:49 |
| juken | mylisto: yup | 03:49 |
| jayg | juken: i found a good ubuntu forum thread for my problem, but thanks for your help | 03:49 |
| mylisto | just went to another line...didn't do anything | 03:49 |
| juken | jayg: no problem, let me know if you need anything, just PM | 03:50 |
| bruce89 | bcog: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bruce89/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main | 03:50 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, not if you'te told the system the NIC is statically configured. in this case dhcpclient shouldn't even be started. | 03:50 |
| juken | mylisto: yea, now ./file.run | 03:50 |
| usser | ScottG489, ps -Al | grep smbd | 03:50 |
| usser | ScottG489, if it returns nothing, no samba server is installed | 03:50 |
| mylisto | thanks :D | 03:50 |
| devilsF00d | I mean unless there is some other way to tell the system then through ../interfaces | 03:50 |
| juken | mylisto: that .run file is a shell script file, you can either download it and run it by making it an executable with chmod +x and then running it with ./file.run OR you can download it and then sh file.run | 03:51 |
| bcog | wow ok going to try now | 03:51 |
| juken | mylisto: working now? | 03:51 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, change the file, then "sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager restart". that way you're doing the same thing a reboot does, and if it works now it should keep working next time you reboot. | 03:51 |
| mylisto | yeppers | 03:51 |
| bruce89 | bcog: it's still building, wait a wee while | 03:51 |
| juken | mylisto: excellent | 03:51 |
| ScottG489 | usser: THat returns 7 lines | 03:52 |
| bcog | ok that's ok lol because i was trying not to ask you how to deb | 03:52 |
| devilsF00d | i've done that like 300 times over the past week | 03:52 |
| bcog | i'm online trying to look it up =p | 03:52 |
| mylisto | thanks juken: | 03:52 |
| devilsF00d | my syslog is still filled with these entries "dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10" | 03:52 |
| juken | no problem | 03:52 |
| ScottG489 | usser: sorry 8 lines of smbd | 03:52 |
| ScottG489 | usser: So what now? | 03:52 |
| bruce89 | bcog: it isn't difficult what I do, I just change the changelog and upload | 03:52 |
| juken | jayg: what version are you running hoary, intrepid? | 03:53 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, edit the file to tell the system it's a static NIC, then restarted network manager? | 03:53 |
| bruce89 | juken: Hoary? | 03:53 |
| gartral | does ubuntu handle bad ram well? | 03:53 |
| juken | sorry | 03:53 |
| juken | hardy* | 03:53 |
| usser | ScottG489, you already have it, the computer that has it should show up in network:/// on any other computer on the network | 03:53 |
| bcog | is it dpkg -install http:......, bruce89 | 03:53 |
| bruce89 | bcog: np | 03:53 |
| devilsF00d | edit init.d/networking? | 03:53 |
| dawson | hi everyone | 03:53 |
| jayg | juken: Actually i'm installing crunchbang but it's based off of intrepid | 03:53 |
| bruce89 | bcog: shove that in the sources list thingy | 03:53 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, no, /etc/network/interfaces (see above) | 03:53 |
| juken | jayg: PM | 03:54 |
| dawson | does anyone knows how can I install the latest release of amarok 2 in Ubuntu? | 03:54 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, but honestly, using the GUI (network manager) may be safer | 03:54 |
| appocc | could anybody help me?? network-manager isnt seting my configurations for netmask and routes... i put 255.255.255.0 and it changes to 24 | 03:54 |
| juken | dawson: compile from source from the amarok official site | 03:54 |
| appocc | witch is the prefix | 03:54 |
| ScottG489 | usser: The only thing that shows up is my own laptop and the windows network that my XP VM is on. Which when I click on it I cant even open (it is running now) and I get this error "Unable to mount location Failed to retrieve share list from server" | 03:54 |
| === root is now known as Guest21170 | ||
| ScottG489 | usser: dur it isnt on the other computers | 03:54 |
| ScottG489 | usser: hold on | 03:55 |
| usser | ScottG489, that ps -Al | grep smbd you ran it on your laptop? | 03:55 |
| usser | ScottG489, samba is misconfigured then | 03:55 |
| usser | !samba | ScottG489 | 03:55 |
| ubottu | ScottG489: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 03:55 |
| dawson | yeah, since it is a kde app I really wouldn't know where to start. | 03:55 |
| devilsF00d | sprinkmeier: http://pastebin.ca/1361957 that has been my interfaces file for the past week with slight mods trying to fix this issue | 03:56 |
| lakotajames | Does anyone here know how to export a video made with kino? | 03:56 |
| bruce89 | lakotajames: yes | 03:56 |
| bcog | you mean this one, bruce89 ? /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:56 |
| bruce89 | bcog: yes | 03:56 |
| lakotajames | bruce89: how? | 03:56 |
| bruce89 | !sources.list | 03:56 |
| ubottu | 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 | 03:56 |
| bruce89 | lakotajames: the export tab | 03:56 |
| bcog | just add the url, bruce89 ? http://ppa.launchpad.net/bruce89/ppa/ubuntu | 03:56 |
| bcog | with deb in front | 03:56 |
| bruce89 | bcog: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bruce89/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main | 03:57 |
| bcog | oh. thanks . =) | 03:57 |
| mylisto | another question for anyone who can help | 03:57 |
| ScottG489 | usser: It isnt installed on the dekstop that was my retarded problem... | 03:57 |
| bcog | may i do it now, or should i keep waiting? | 03:57 |
| lakotajames | bruce89: everything I try gives me a video that won't play very well in vlc or totem. very choppy, sound isn't synced | 03:57 |
| bruce89 | lakotajames: which type did you export it as? | 03:57 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, I'd try commenting out line 9, "auto eth0". Then it looks like my file which has static IP addresses. | 03:57 |
| devilsF00d | and even though I've run /etc/init/networking restart with that config since I've been in this room I'm watching my syslog and my server is spewing out DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 about ever 5 minutes | 03:58 |
| ScottG489 | usser: Does smbd use up even a decent amount of resources? I'm thinking it would be best to leave off my server and just use gftp to access it | 03:58 |
| lakotajames | I've tried generic mpeg2, avi dv type 1, raw dv, and ogg theora. | 03:58 |
| lakotajames | bruce89: I've tried generic mpeg2, avi dv type 1, raw dv, and ogg theora. | 03:58 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, not a lot of resources, but a bit of network chatter and transfers are generally slower | 03:59 |
| usser | ScottG489, i've never bothered to measure it, hang on. | 03:59 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, try the "sudo killall dhclient". it can't hurt, but you shouldn't need it (esp. after "/etc/init.d/networking restart") | 03:59 |
| lakotajames | bruce89: trying generic mpeg1 now. | 03:59 |
| sprinkmeier | !who | devilsF00d | 03:59 |
| ubottu | devilsF00d: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 03:59 |
| Tarantulafudge1 | Is there anyone here with Kanne/Mbuni experience? | 03:59 |
| bcog | um bruce89 may i download now? | 03:59 |
| Tarantulafudge1 | Kannel* | 03:59 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, and you are using a micrsoft protocol when many options are there... | 03:59 |
| bcog | and thank you very very much | 03:59 |
| devilsF00d | word sorry | 03:59 |
| bruce89 | lakotajames: all of which are messed up? | 04:00 |
| RickZilla | Have I mentioned that Google Earth sucks in ubuntu? | 04:00 |
| lakotajames | bruce89: yes. | 04:00 |
| juken | RickZilla: is it good somewhere else? ;) | 04:00 |
| ScottG489 | Titan8990: Samba uses a microsoft protocol? | 04:00 |
| juken | ScottG489: I wouldn't really call it a microsoft protocol | 04:00 |
| Titan8990 | ScottG489, two actually, netbios and smb | 04:01 |
| RickZilla | juken: Actually, yeah, it runs like a charm on the Vista side of my machine...been trying to troubleshoot the problem | 04:01 |
| usser | ScottG489, about 3mb per connected client | 04:01 |
| Lepohi | Hey, i have mobile 3G internet, now i installed fedora 10 and it worked fine, then when the 270 updates had finnished installing it no longer worked, have spent about 3 days asking on irc and scouring forums but noone can help. Does anyone have a mobile internet running under Ubuntu? I will switch if it works here. | 04:01 |
| usser | ScottG489, samba is a microsoft protocol | 04:01 |
| cwillu | bug #317781 | 04:01 |
| juken | ScottG489: SMB was created by someone working at IBM | 04:01 |
| ScottG489 | usser: of memory? | 04:01 |
| juken | usser: not it's not | 04:01 |
| devilsF00d | sprinkmeier: still spewing... | 04:01 |
| lakotajames | bruce89: nevermind. Generic mpeg works. | 04:01 |
| usser | juken, ibm then | 04:01 |
| juken | usser: =P | 04:01 |
| usser | juken, doesnt matter | 04:01 |
| usser | juken, :) | 04:01 |
| bruce89 | lakotajames: that's odd | 04:01 |
| juken | indeed it doesn't. | 04:01 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, have you killed all dhcpclient instances? | 04:02 |
| ScottG489 | usser: Does it need to be explicitly connected or if the other computers are on the network thats considered connected? | 04:02 |
| usser | ScottG489, it needs to be explicitly connected, ie share mounted/opened in nautilus etc | 04:02 |
| Titan8990 | juken, it was orginally created by IBM but ms has done all the upgrading and maint work on it | 04:02 |
| devilsF00d | sprinkmeier: "dhclient: no process killed" | 04:02 |
| usser | ScottG489, but for the life of me i dont understand why would you want to use samba. just so that computers show up in network:/// ? | 04:02 |
| nitromaster | Hey :) Is there a possibility to disable the system speaker in ubuntu without unplugging it from the mainboard? | 04:03 |
| juken | Titan8990: feh :) | 04:03 |
| ScottG489 | usser: Oh, hm well thats not really a big deal since it would only be open when I'm using it. But i might just use an ftp client instead | 04:03 |
| ScottG489 | usser: Just for more seamless integration with my system | 04:03 |
| juken | ScottG489: what exactly are you trying to do, if you don't mind me asking | 04:03 |
| biabia | does chroot behave differently in ubuntu | 04:03 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, AFAIK dhclient is the only thing that's supposed to request DHCP addresses. version of ubuntu? | 04:04 |
| racecar56 | !FUSE | 04:04 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 04:04 |
| ScottG489 | usser: So i dont need to do all this fancy stuff to put files on it | 04:04 |
| biabia | im having trouble finding an example of chroot to help me learn it | 04:04 |
| WageofSin | anyone know the command to find out what channels a person is on IRC? | 04:04 |
| juken | WageofSin: /whois | 04:04 |
| WageofSin | juken: Thank you | 04:04 |
| devilsF00d | asprinkmeier: had to run ps it is called dhclient3 on my system | 04:04 |
| usser | ScottG489, ftp or ssh, ssh is really great. seamless integration is easily achieved by mounting remote share to a local filesystem with sshfs | 04:04 |
| usser | ScottG489, that way remote folder would appear as if it was local | 04:04 |
| juken | aye, <3 sshfs | 04:04 |
| Droopsta915 | I burned three movies for my kids using k9copy. Two movies work great but one movies doesnt play. I tryed burning it twice. I can play it in VLC, anyone know whats going on? | 04:04 |
| ScottG489 | usser: Well for my server I could really put anything on it. Eventually when I get time to, i would be transfering files over to it for my website. That would probably be the peak of its usage | 04:05 |
| usser | ScottG489, ssh is really enough for that | 04:05 |
| WageofSin | Droop: get dvdsanta | 04:05 |
| ScottG489 | usser: oh, hm, i wasnt aware you could mount other fs like that | 04:05 |
| juken | ScottG489: you can either use sshfs, scp, sftp, and from gnome you can do: Places -> Connect to Server -> SSH Server | 04:06 |
| meoblast | what do i do if xorg bugs out and everything starts flickering? | 04:06 |
| meoblast | wait... it stopped | 04:06 |
| usser | ScottG489, you can mount pretty much any network protocol on linux, samba, ssh, nfs, even ftp | 04:06 |
| juken | meoblast: reconfigure it? | 04:06 |
| meoblast | juken: no... i think it was because i was closing WINE.... it just did it for a very long time though | 04:06 |
| juken | meoblast: ah =P | 04:06 |
| ScottG489 | usser: I guess that would work better | 04:06 |
| ScottG489 | usser: That works for external ip's too? | 04:07 |
| meoblast | juken: my system is screwed though.... between it having no CD drive, no harddisk space, and a broken DPKG, it's RIP time | 04:07 |
| juken | meoblast: sounds like a good time to me ;) | 04:07 |
| meoblast | juken: yes.... and the rest of the hardware isn't even worth buying a new CD drive | 04:07 |
| meoblast | juken: it's a laptop where the CD drive costs 50 dollars... take it or leave it | 04:07 |
| usser | ScottG489, yea if you setup port forwarding on your router, just a single port 22, you can mount it from anywhere in the world | 04:07 |
| ScottG489 | usser: I like | 04:08 |
| juken | usser: except china, god damn that great firewall of china ;) | 04:08 |
| juken | no, kidding. | 04:08 |
| usser | hahaha | 04:08 |
| Titan8990 | usser, most U.S. ISPs block port 22 | 04:08 |
| juken | Titan8990: that's not true at all | 04:08 |

| usser | Titan8990, do they, i've had verizon and cablevision, they dont block it | 04:09 |
| juken | _Whipper: give or take | 04:09 |
| Titan8990 | juken, comcast does, one of the biggest providers here | 04:09 |
| ScottG489 | Titan8990: my ISP blocks port 80 which deosnt surprise me too much but not 22 | 04:09 |
| juken | Titan8990: that's not true at all, I'm on comcast :) | 04:09 |

| Wanderer | wine+wow in 64bit is really sucking | 04:09 |
| racecar56 | how do i disable the thing where it opens newly inserted media? i don't like any type of thing like that | 04:09 |
| crdlb | racecar56: open a file manager window, and go to edit->preferences | 04:10 |
| bruce89 | racecar56: open? | 04:10 |
| ScottG489 | usser: Ok, well i guess this kinda solves my other smaller problem indirectly. But I also have a printer that I just set up. I can't connect it to my router but its connected to my PC downstairs via a USB, how can I connect to that? | 04:11 |
| juken | ScottG489: share it out from the computer it's connected to | 04:11 |
| usser | ScottG489, depending on the model of the printer, you'll need samba and cups to share it | 04:11 |
| racecar56 | crdlb thanks | 04:12 |
| Titan8990 | usser, samba is not needed | 04:12 |
| Titan8990 | usser, cups alone is enough | 04:12 |
| juken | Titan8990: if it's being shared out over SMB? | 04:12 |
| usser | Titan8990, cups still shares it through samba, no? | 04:12 |
| devilsF00d | sprinkmeier: so far so good... | 04:13 |
| Titan8990 | juken, usser why is smb even in question? | 04:13 |
| juken | Titan8990: afaik if a windows machine shares out a printer, it's doing so over SMB. | 04:14 |
| Titan8990 | juken, I thought he said earlier his computer downstairs was running linux... | 04:14 |
| juken | Titan8990: I wasn't here earlier when he said so | 04:15 |
| juken | Titan8990: sorry =/ | 04:15 |
| juken | I suppose I shouldn't have made the assumption it was running windows. =P | 04:15 |
| juken | if that's not the case, cups will do just fine by itself indeed. | 04:15 |
| juken | like you said | 04:15 |
| usser | juken, Titan8990 oh is it, i wasnt here ethier | 04:15 |
| sprinkmeier | devilsF00d, OK... any more junk now that dhclient3 is dead? | 04:16 |
| Titan8990 | usser, juken pretty sure, abut only ScottG489 can verify | 04:16 |
| juken | ScottG489: is the downstairs computer running windows or linux? | 04:16 |
| juken | ScottG489: that the printer is connected to | 04:16 |
| jamesjr | ok anyway, i have a crush on my bestfriend, which is dangerous territory i know..well they asked whom i liked...well i said so-and-so just to get my friend off my back...well then i retracted my statement and my best friend is going out with so-and-so a week later...whats your thoughts on this? | 04:16 |

| dreamy | or use another programing language.. for animations | 04:16 |
| devilsF00d | sprinkmeier: nope... looks like the killall was the key to solving but what happens when I reboot? | 04:16 |
| bruce89 | jamesjr meant to say that in #defocus | 04:17 |
| juken | MITM: h4x, don't man in the middle me plz. :) | 04:17 |
| MITM | juken you're the funnyfunny man? | 04:18 |
| juken | MITM: the funniest | 04:18 |
| Titan8990 | devilsF00d, if you don't plan on needing dhcp, then just uninstall dhclient | 04:18 |
| bruce89 | hmm | 04:18 |
| MITM | juken I can admit I did smile a little bit you funny man | 04:18 |

| dreamy | i mean.. is there any app for linux that can do the same has dreamweaver? | 04:19 |
| devilsF00d | Titan8990: yeah I guess that is the best option thanks | 04:19 |
| cajun | nvu works well if you can find it | 04:19 |
| bruce89 | dreamy: thankfully no | 04:19 |
| cajun | dreamy: it used to be available at nvu.com | 04:20 |
| bruce89 | !nvu | 04:20 |
| ubottu | kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy and later releases. | 04:20 |
| dreamy | cajun: what about cool things like animations etc etc it does it too ? | 04:20 |
| Titan8990 | dreamy, I have heard dreamweaver makes messy code | 04:20 |
| dreamy | lol | 04:20 |
| dreamy | no idea | 04:20 |
| racecar56 | if you shift delete a file is it possible to restore that file? | 04:20 |
| racecar56 | at all? | 04:20 |
| cajun | i believe so. it's set up the same way | 04:20 |
| Titan8990 | racecar56, no easy way | 04:20 |
| dreamy | what about funn stuff.. about web desing ? motions .. etcc | 04:20 |
| ScottG489 | juken: yea im checking into that now to see how it works | 04:20 |
| cajun | i've played around with both and did'nt really see much of a distance. | 04:21 |
| Titan8990 | dreamy, there are plenty of IDEs for html, php, and etc | 04:21 |
| cajun | difference....not distance | 04:21 |
| dreamy | whats IDEs | 04:21 |
| juken | dreamy: try bluefish, other people seem to like it | 04:21 |

| dreamy | what about something replacing flash ? | 04:23 |
| dreamy | something similar | 04:23 |
| juken | the top is easy, the base, not so much | 04:23 |
| ScottG489 | juken: crumbly | 04:23 |
| juken | ScottG489: exactly, and I don't want to get my hands all grossed up | 04:23 |
| demi | if im using apt-get -f , is that the correct command to force install a pkg? | 04:23 |
| Titan8990 | dreamy, everything that is done in flash can be done in other languages, but there isn't a point and click kind of thing like flash | 04:23 |
| bruce89 | dreamy: saying as there is no full free implementation of flash, there are no real creators | 04:23 |

| demi | How do I force apt-get install a package? | 04:26 |
| SomePriest | I ended up making 7 partitions. The first two as expected are /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. The next 4 logical partitions are /dev/sda5 ... /dev/sda8. Then following these is another logical partition, /dev/sda3. This is the order I created them in. Why does sda3 follow sda5-8? And how does the bootloader with (hda0,2) now I refer too /dev/sd3 (as opposed to /dev/sda5 which is the third partition)? | 04:26 |

| Socrates | hello, I use Ubuntu 8.04. I have a question about a file called /.recently-used.xml (this is not the same as /.recently-used.xbel) I deleted the content of it. Will this cause any problems in the future for my system? | 05:46 |

| xun911 | hello, does anyone know how to I turn off my laptop's monitor when it runs on Ubuntu Server edition? | 05:52 |
| flukes1 | mib_h3jnuq9k: can you copy the contents of /etc/my.cnf to http://pastebin.com/ | 05:52 |
| NDS | My Ubuntu PC is having issues, 9 tims out of ten, when I boot, I hang,but it boots fine by going in through the recovery console | 05:53 |
| Flannel | cremmora: Please stay on topic. This is a channel for support, not goofing around. | 05:53 |
| Socrates | So does anyone know whether my having deleted the content of /.recently-used.xml will cause any problems? | 05:53 |
| IntuitiveNipple | mib_h3jnuq9k: The error suggests either that mysqld is starting with different user credentials (the error said "One can only use the --user switch if running as root") or the InnoDB database it is referring to is not in the standard location (/var/lib/mysql/) | 05:53 |
| cremmora | i can tell | 05:53 |
| BadRobot | hi there | 05:53 |
| cremmora | when i got the kick | 05:53 |
| Flannel | joejc18: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi Walks you through it really well | 05:53 |
| salmon | is there a way to use an iso file from hard disk instead of burning it to a disk. i just want to run the program from the disk image, is this possible? | 05:53 |
| BadRobot | Could someone tell how to change the display resolution via terminal? | 05:53 |
| rww | Socrates: it won't. That file is just a list of files you opened recently; it's regenerated automatically. | 05:54 |
| mib_h3jnuq9k | flukes ill try | 05:54 |
| Socrates | display resolution is a nightmare | 05:54 |
| rww | !iso | salmon | 05:54 |
| ubottu | salmon: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 05:54 |
| NDS | This problem is getting annoying, as It keeps happening, even after a clean install | 05:54 |
| rww | salmon: use ^^ to mount it, and run the program from there. | 05:54 |
| BadRobot | Somehow the display resolution is too big and I can't see the edges | 05:54 |
| ikrel | salmon: install gmountiso | 05:54 |
| Socrates | But, rww, when I open new documents and things, I go back to check and the file is still empty. | 05:54 |
| joejc18 | bye | 05:54 |
| BadRobot | please anyone | 05:54 |
| Socrates | Of course, /.recent-used.xbel is updated as I open and close things. | 05:55 |
| mib_h3jnuq9k | weird theres absolutely nothing in the file flukes1 | 05:55 |
| cremmora | BadRobot are u using a loptop | 05:55 |
| cremmora | ? | 05:55 |
| mib_h3jnuq9k | actually the file doesnt even exist | 05:55 |
| mib_h3jnuq9k | it says new file on bottom | 05:55 |
| NDS | guys, Please help me, I have Homework That I wont be able to get done until this is fixed | 05:55 |
| flukes1 | mib_h3jnuq9k: it might be /etc/mysql/my.cnf | 05:55 |
| appocc | could anybody here help me with a problem with my network-manager and netmasks? | 05:55 |

| scowcron | Hello there. I'm trying to get microphone input through wine to work. All of my sound playback works, and I can capture microphone input outside of wine, but not using applications with it. I'm using PulseAudio (ubuntu ibex). I've tried various methods to get it to work, but so far nothing. one more note: The PulseAudio Applet recording volume meter still catches the input even though the... | 05:57 |
| scowcron | ...wine apps don't. does anybody have some insight as to what might be wrong? | 05:57 |
| Socrates | So, on my system, /.recently-used.xbel works while /.recently-used.xml does not do anything at all?? | 05:57 |
| rww | Socrates: different programs seem to use different recently-used files. I guess you're just not using a program that uses the .xml one. | 05:57 |
| flukes1 | mib_h3jnuq9k: you've copied the first 19 lines of the file but nothing else | 05:57 |
| NDS | My Ubuntu PC is having issues, 9 tims out of ten, when I boot, I hang,but it boots fine by going in through the recovery console | 05:57 |

| Socrates | Oh, thanks for that. I didn't realise. | 05:57 |
| appocc | could anybody here help me with a problem with my network-manager and netmasks? | 05:57 |
| rww | Socrates: again, it'll regenerate itself, don't worry about it :) | 05:57 |
| flukes1 | mib_h3jnuq9k: you might want to use use gedit rather than nano | 05:57 |
| Socrates | Yes, thanks, I'm just not familiar with this sort of thing. | 05:57 |
| mib_h3jnuq9k | IntuitiveNipple: it says total 0 | 05:57 |

| salmon | rww, im not sure how to word this un-noobishly, but what does it mean by mount point? like is that the path to the file? | 05:58 |
| BadRobot | Yes I tried Cremona | 05:59 |
| juken | appocc: what's the issue exactly? | 05:59 |
| flukes1 | mib_h3jnuq9k: have a look in that config file, see if you can tell where it's dumping its log files | 05:59 |
| NDS | I dont know how to give anymore detail than that :s, My pc has the mouse go up, then i dissapears and either hangs or takes 5 minutes tol load, then I can go in the recovery console and it boots fine. | 05:59 |
| Socrates | This is a useful service. Thank you! | 05:59 |
| Socrates | Bye! | 05:59 |
| juken | salmon: mount point is where you are going to access the device from | 05:59 |
| rww | salmon: Windows uses "drive letter", like C: or D: to access drives. Linux just pins them to the file system. E.g., if you insert a CD-ROM, you can access it from /media/cdrom/, which is its "mount point" | 05:59 |
| mib_h3jnuq9k | flukes1: the one u asked me to post? | 05:59 |
| juken | salmon: for example, mkdir ~/mountpoint | 06:00 |
| flukes1 | mib_h3jnuq9k: yea | 06:00 |
| juken | salmon: then you can: mount /dev/blah ~/mountpoint | 06:00 |
| racecar56 | i have to go to bed now... bye every1, and have success every1! :> | 06:00 |
| rww | salmon: you'd want to make a new directory and specify that as the mountpoint, in this case :) | 06:00 |
| salmon | rww, thank you | 06:00 |
| mib_h3jnuq9k | flukes1: ok let me try lol im totally new to ubuntu serve ri got it installed and everything fine yeah let me see | 06:00 |

| mib_h3jnuq9k | here let me retry | 06:03 |
| NDS | no it gives no errors, it shhuts down fine, turns on, looks like its going to boot, and takes 5 minutes to, or not at all | 06:03 |
| juken | NDS: so the hanging is on start up rather than shutdown? | 06:04 |

| Jester | This is pathetic... Is this the distro I'm supposed to be advising my Grandma to use? A distro with sound not working on a default install, with a 6 years old _creative_ card no less... I mean I'm sorry but the frustration has to come out. | 08:45 |
| hhlee | jester maybe just get a cheap new card | 08:46 |

| joot_ | renton, jester is not off topic he needs help with sound | 08:47 |
| Jester | renton: I have asked my question, but I can ask it again for you | 08:47 |
| hhlee | Jester lets go for a cheaper hardware that support ubunto | 08:47 |
| Jester | renton: Hello, I just installed 8.10 and I have no sound. My sound card is a Audigy 2 ZS. I have the emu10k1 module loaded, I tried selecting every possible device, and also alsa/pulseaudio in System->Prefs->Sound. Everything is unmuted, I tried reloading ALSA, pulse, etc. I'm at a lost. Any idea ? | 08:47 |
| zeitsofa | renton: ah ok. i understand u install the ati drivers from ati. sorry. | 08:48 |
| noren | Jester: any specific sound u may need extra codecs | 08:48 |
| Alex_21 | I need to know how to install MythTV on Ubuntu 8.04 PPC. I can't find a guide anywhere | 08:49 |
| Jester | I have all the codecs... The "Test" thing itself in the prefs outputs nothing | 08:49 |

| quibbler | coopcooper: i have the same and i made a 4 gig swap which is almost never used ..so do what KingWilliam says s gigs | 08:58 |
| Tommetje | thus using 3GB of swap when you have 2GB of RAM. | 08:58 |
| Alex_21 | KingWilliam: I just swapped my ethernet cable around from one interface to another and poof it disappeared | 08:58 |

| Alex_21 | Yes | 09:07 |
| Alex_21 | Thrice you must do this. One time for each partition you must create | 09:07 |
| coopcooper | what do i set the mount point to? | 09:07 |
| coopcooper | well im only creating one partition | 09:08 |
| Ongavezirke | New recipe: Soup from each TUKS and eggs | 09:08 |
| gfather | guys can i easily change my cpu , or ill get kernel panic ? | 09:08 |
| coopcooper | should i also set a mount point for the ntfs drives i have? | 09:08 |
| Alex_21 | Look, you can do this or just choose use Guided Use Largest Continous free space instead and save yourself the trouble | 09:08 |
| quibbler | coopcooper: do you want a separate home partition? | 09:08 |

| alin | oo | 09:09 |
| Alex_21 | You need three for an install. One for Boot, one for Root and one for SWAP | 09:09 |
| coopcooper | Alex_21, if i choose that it seems to awnt to format my hdd | 09:09 |
| coopcooper | can i just set the mount point to "/" for all 3? | 09:09 |
| quibbler | coopcooper: no | 09:10 |
| quibbler | coop how big is the free space | 09:10 |
| coopcooper | umm | 09:10 |

| ibunher | it says: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.16_i386.deb | 09:12 |
| quibbler | coopcooper: what I did was one partition for / at 15 gigs one for /home at 60 gigs and one for /swap with the rest.../ and /home should be formated as ext3 | 09:12 |
| coopcooper | it doesnt actually let me assign a mount point for swap | 09:13 |
| coopcooper | ie. it wont let me use the drop down box | 09:13 |
| quibbler | coopcooper: it does that automatic | 09:13 |
| coopcooper | sweet | 09:13 |
| Ongavezirke | Who will fucking with the TUKS today? | 09:14 |
| coopcooper | what is the "/" partition used for and what is the "/home" partition used for? | 09:14 |
| coopcooper | is "/" all kernel stuff? | 09:14 |
| playerx | hmm | 09:14 |
| quibbler | coopcooper: yes | 09:14 |
| Ongavezirke | Azt kedeztem ki dugja meg a pingvint ma | 09:14 |

| Alex_21 | I can't find a guide anywhere | 09:17 |
| alin | yay!! my shockwave worked..! thanks guys!! | 09:17 |
| KingWilliam | Alex_21: Isn't it just sudo apt-get install mythTV? | 09:18 |
| quibbler | Alex_21: i don't believe it is supported | 09:18 |
| Alex_21 | I don't think so as the package isn't compiled for PC I think | 09:18 |
| Alex_21 | Hmm | 09:18 |
| Alex_21 | PPC? | 09:18 |
| Alex_21 | What isn't supported? | 09:18 |
| KingWilliam | Alex_21: Guess that will be compilation from source then | 09:18 |
| alin | why the shochwave player installing so long :o not moved a musscle | 09:19 |
| coopcooper | for hte partition im making mounted to "/", what file system do i format it under? | 09:19 |
| coopcooper | ext3? | 09:19 |
| Alex_21 | Ok, what isn't supported? PPC or MythTV on PPC? | 09:19 |
| coopcooper | and make "/home" ext3 as well? | 09:19 |
| playerx | ext3 is safe | 09:19 |
| Alex_21 | ? | 09:19 |
| elky | is there a solution for laptops that like to ignore a brightness setting when coming out of power save? | 09:19 |
| quibbler | Alex_21: i don't believe it is supported ppc mythtv | 09:20 |
| Alex_21 | Groan | 09:20 |
| Provant | lol | 09:20 |
| Alex_21 | I have no choice for that one | 09:20 |
| quibbler | coopcooper: yes both ext3 | 09:20 |
| new | hello | 09:20 |
| Provant | Anyone here good with web development? [scripting languages] | 09:21 |
| KingWilliam | coopcooper: You can use ext3 for everything except your swap partition ;) | 09:21 |

| azlon | how can I change the default icon of Firefox? | 09:21 |
| KingWilliam | azlon check /user/share/applications | 09:21 |

| KingWilliam | azlon: And edit the firefox.desktop file | 09:21 |
| elky | Provant, probably many, but this is a support channel for Ubuntu software, not language syntax | 09:22 |
| quibbler | Alex_21: i googled for you and came up with nix | 09:22 |

| KingWilliam | new: That wasn't very clear | 09:22 |
| jester | Ok. It appears I was wrong earlier, it was indeed an alsa setting (sound card port) that was muted. In my defense however, the port works when it is muted (MM), which is completely and utterly fucked up (hey I've been using alsa since linux 2.6.0). Anyway sorry for the outburst | 09:22 |
| Provant | -pokes tongue | 09:22 |
| coopcooper | alright guys i think im on my way | 09:22 |
| coopcooper | thanks so much for the help | 09:22 |
| alin | Its says that i've installed the shockwave player.. why cant use? | 09:22 |
| coopcooper | much appreciated | 09:22 |
| new | thanks. | 09:22 |
| elky | Provant, most languages will have their own channel on the network. php is in ##php for example | 09:23 |
| quibbler | jester: i am just glad it works for you! | 09:23 |
| Alex_21 | Quibler: What is NIX? | 09:23 |
| jester | quibbler: thanks :) | 09:23 |
| Alex_21 | ? | 09:23 |
| Provant | Thanks for the tip, I'll remember that next time. | 09:23 |
| quibbler | Alex_21: nothing | 09:23 |
| coopcooper | quibbler: much love | 09:23 |
| quibbler | coopcooper: good luck i think you will like ubuntu | 09:24 |
| coopcooper | yeah, i use a live distribution of it at uni | 09:24 |
| coopcooper | just never done a fresh install before | 09:24 |
| alin | wahh this so cruel | 09:24 |
| alin | :( | 09:24 |
| alin | !shockwave | 09:24 |
| ubottu | Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave | 09:24 |
| alin | cant install shockwave | 09:24 |
| elky | jester, we prefer to keep bad language out of our channels too | 09:24 |
| quibbler | coopcooper: we were all there at one time | 09:25 |
| playerx | ahh time, it just keeps on slippin | 09:25 |
| azlon | KingWilliam: does the new icon have to be a certain size? | 09:25 |
| jester | elky: "bad language" is very subjective culture-dependant | 09:25 |
| quibbler | alin: you need flash? | 09:25 |
| KingWilliam | jester: wut? | 09:26 |
| KingWilliam | jester: Oh I forget what we are toalking about :P | 09:26 |
| alin | no | 09:26 |
| alin | i need shockwave | 09:26 |
| alin | :( | 09:26 |
| KingWilliam | jester: No it doesn't matter for so far as I remember | 09:26 |
| Nalf | I just installed fglrx and now I have no gui. <.< fglrx-uninstall doesn't work either. Any other way I can uninstall it? | 09:26 |
| alin | how i uninstall wine | 09:26 |
| elky | jester, you know what i mean. | 09:26 |
| alin | then i wan reinstall it | 09:26 |
| quibbler | alin: to do what? | 09:26 |
| Samma3l | hi there, will I break anything if I uninstall the keyring manager from ubuntu? | 09:26 |
| Samma3l | correction Mythbuntu? | 09:27 |
| alin | i want install shockwave in ubuntu | 09:27 |
| alin | i wrongly installed wine without mozplugger | 09:27 |
| quibbler | alin: to do what? | 09:27 |
| Alex_21 | Quibbler: I want to know if you found any ways for me to compile for PPC? | 09:27 |
| Alex_21 | ? | 09:27 |
| alin | so now i want uninstall wine | 09:27 |
| sprockets | Is there a way to optimize ubuntu to a specific system or is it already optimized for say a computer with a intel dual core p8600 | 09:27 |
| alin | and reinstall it with mosplugger | 09:27 |
| quibbler | Alex_21: no | 09:27 |
| lstarnes | alin: I don't think you need to reinstall wine for that | 09:28 |
| quibbler | alin: mozplugger has nothing to do with wine | 09:28 |
| alin | First, install the wine and mozplugger packages (for information on how to do this, see InstallingSoftware). <-- i found this line in ubuntu help page | 09:28 |
| alin | to install shockwave | 09:28 |
| azlon | KingWilliam: when I edit firefox.dekstop I see this: Icon=firefox-3.0 ... should I change that to the path of my new icon? | 09:29 |
| crdlb | sprockets: other than using amd64 instead of x86, there's not much to do. with x86, the -generic kernel will still do SMP (multi-core) and things like SSE can still be used | 09:29 |
| KingWilliam | azlon: You made a perfect discovery there | 09:30 |
| sprockets | crdlb: Thanks | 09:30 |
| alin | nice... no one cares about my prob... ?? | 09:31 |
| sprockets | crdlb: In you opinion is ubuntu 64 ready to be a desktop os right now or is the software support currently lacking? I used it once and had some issues with Flash and usb drivers but that was awhile ago | 09:31 |
| quibbler | alin: http://mozplugger.mozdev.org/documentation.html | 09:31 |
| crdlb | sprockets: there is a 64bit flash now, I believe | 09:32 |

| Alex_21 | Quibbler: I found some tidbits. | 09:33 |
| alin | then why my shockwave didnt worked | 09:33 |
| Alex_21 | I'll try it tommorrow | 09:33 |
| Alex_21 | Good night | 09:33 |

| nocturn | Hi all | 09:35 |
| durt | !howdy | 09:36 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 09:36 |
| nocturn | I'm running a mailscanner on 8.04 LTS, I'm getting false positives due to an out-of-date Spamassassin | 09:36 |
| wtrrrrrr | I have a wlan0 on my laptop, and I just configured wpa_supplciant with a nice conf file. It all should work, but when running wpa_supplicant on the interface and configuration it fails: it cannot bring up wlan0. "ifconfig wlan0 up" Also fails. What I can do is "iwconfig wlan0 essid foobarsomewthing". and iwconfig then also reports the essid set. | 09:36 |
| wtrrrrrr | Is this a firmware problem? | 09:36 |
| nocturn | Is there a repo for 8.04 with update spamassassin packages? | 09:36 |

| amit_ | done | 10:07 |
| SmokeyD | any clue why amarok doesn't display them correctly? | 10:08 |
| macrobad | SmokeyD: you probably have to convert them from windows-1251 into utf-8 | 10:08 |
| SmokeyD | macrobad: the id3 tags? How could I do that? | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | amit_: ok, one of those lines will identify the wifi | 10:08 |
| amit_ | yes | 10:09 |
| mmmm | SmokeyD: enable locale support for Cyrillic | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | amit_: you can now websearch on how to setup that wifi chip | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | amit_: what wifi chip does it say you have | 10:09 |

| ActionParsnip | cool | 10:20 |
| appocc | including mine | 10:20 |
| wo0f | koshari: ActionParsnip: does freenx-server support using fluxbox? | 10:20 |
| appocc | i can actually connect to it.. but i cant navigate | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | then use wifi-radar or nm-applet to configure the connection | 10:21 |
| appocc | im using wircd | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | wo0f: can't see why not | 10:21 |

| ActionParsnip | appocc: what is the error you get? | 10:22 |
| appocc | and sometimes network-manager gave me internet too | 10:22 |
| appocc | i dun get any error at all. a just can navigate | 10:22 |
| appocc | and a dun know why | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: try wifi-radar. the fact that scanning shows APs is great, thats the hard bit done | 10:23 |
| appocc | i think its another thing.. itsnt wicd or network-manager. but another thing | 10:23 |
| koshari | wo0f yes as AP posted there is a matapackage, and i just locked down the menu items i didnt want accessable, and the menu, fluxes menu is quite easy to edit | 10:23 |

| appocc | actually my wireless cant act like a dhcp client and i dun know why | 10:23 |

| ActionParsnip | appocc: get on a wired link and get fully updated | 10:24 |
| appocc | whats wired link?? | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: instead of wireless, use a wire | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: just to get updated | 10:25 |
| appocc | lol.. | 10:25 |
| macrobad | SmokeyD: Great! :) | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: when you connect with wireless do you get a full set of ip information? | 10:25 |
| koshari | wo0f i edited the menus flat config file then chmodded it read only for the account | 10:25 |
| macrobad | appocc: Do you have ip address assigned? | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: using a wired link to get updated can make things work great | 10:25 |
| appocc | this is the other thing i think the error itsnot on hardware or wicd or network-manager, cause when i plug the ethernet cable, it try to connect but cant get ip | 10:25 |
| SmokeyD | still a shame I can't read russian, but at least I can make something of the artist names | 10:25 |
| SmokeyD | :) | 10:25 |
| appocc | yah. but its forced | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: then set a unique static ip that falls within your subnet and update that way | 10:26 |
| appocc | i would like to work on it like a normal windows dhcp client | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: once updated you could then switch back to dhcp to see if dhcp succeeds | 10:26 |
| appocc | this is already set | 10:26 |
| macrobad | SmokeyD: Hehe, use translate.google.com or your friends to read it. After all, it's not that difficult to learn the language yourself. =) | 10:26 |
| appocc | man.. im already on static | 10:26 |
| appocc | cause i gave up of dhcp | 10:27 |
| koshari | wo0f i also made the default gdm login the flux account that was limited. | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: ok can you ping the routers internal ip? | 10:27 |
| appocc | no | 10:27 |
| SmokeyD | macrobad: I understand Ленинград, but what is Наркоман :) | 10:27 |
| appocc | only when, i don know why, it let me navigate | 10:27 |

| appocc | i already told u | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Tcl: sudo apt-get --purge remove <program>; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 10:31 |
| appocc | i think its something before ethernet or wireless | 10:31 |
| Tcl | k thx :) | 10:31 |
| appocc | i think the error is on a iptable or a route... | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: then i'd try getting that working first | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | then flush iptables and all routes | 10:31 |

| ActionParsnip | appocc: ok thats cool | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | amit_: look in /var/cache/apt | 10:35 |
| appocc | so.. what u think i need to do ActionParsnip | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | amit_: the old debs are in there | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: i'd rename /etc/network/interfaces and reboot | 10:36 |
| amit_ | all the installed updates | 10:36 |
| appocc | rename to anything, just to stop its work?? | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: i would also try to get your ethernet working as it will require less complexity to get connected with a wire | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: you will get a stock one, but renaming allows us to retain the file | 10:37 |
| appocc | mand... my hardware is workin... i can connect.. i can see all wireless AP´s here.. its ok | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: the interfaces file can hold some config, if you reboot and get nothing you can rename it back | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: its a simple test | 10:38 |
| appocc | ok... ill do it righ now | 10:38 |
| appocc | brb | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: you could also delete any config you have for wifi to strip down any settings, you should also wipe out the WPA config too so you have a clean setup which you can re-establish | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: you could try connecting without the WPA turned on, just to see if that is the issue | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: you need to take all complexity out and then slowly build up to see where your setup is falling over | 10:39 |

| appocc | difference? | 10:46 |
| cmwslw | I overlooked the confirm screen too | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | try disabling wpa to see if you can connect and if dhcp succeeds | 10:46 |
| appocc | no.. i cant | 10:46 |
| appocc | i already told u that | 10:46 |
| cmwslw | that was a real puzzle to solve | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: delete is very hard to get back with ext3, if yuo rename and you want the file back its very easy to rename back | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: why not? | 10:47 |
| appocc | i can connect only if i give my own ip, netmask, gateway and dns | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: then is everything fine and works 100%? | 10:47 |
| appocc | no... | 10:48 |
| appocc | sometimes yes | 10:48 |
| appocc | but i dun know why | 10:48 |
| * deltared hi | 10:48 | |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: have you tried rebooting your router? | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: is your router a dlink? | 10:48 |
| appocc | but most of the time it just give me long looking ups and don show anything from google or anythng | 10:48 |
| appocc | no.. is a philips snb6500 | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: try turning your router off for 10 mins then on again, it may be nicer | 10:49 |
| appocc | and its working fine too.. cause i have a osx connecting on it, and another 4 notebooks on windows | 10:49 |
| appocc | but why!? | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: its a different OS | 10:49 |
| appocc | and u think if i turn my hub off will change something on linux? | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: if you wont turn of WPA to check you can connect without WPA then i have no further advise | 10:49 |
| appocc | i already did it | 10:50 |
| appocc | and just didnt worked | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | then try a wired connection and get that rolling | 10:50 |
| appocc | i tried too.. i already told u too | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | then you can getupdates. If you have a fresh install of intrepid your system is hugely out of date | 10:50 |
| appocc | im teling u man, listen to me | 10:50 |

| === elad is now known as elad`` | ||
| appocc | the hardware is ok, and the authentication too cause i can connect, and sometimes even navigate like this evening, i just download all updates for intrepid | 10:51 |
| appocc | but it stoped to work again | 10:51 |
| elad`` | How do I see what ports are open, from the command line? | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | erle-: it locks it to protect them | 10:51 |
| appocc | and i didng change anything | 10:51 |
| erle- | ActionParsnip, of course | 10:52 |
| elad`` | I mean, how do I see what TCP connections are open? | 10:52 |
| appocc | its something more elementar.. something like iptables or routes | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: then if it starts working randomly off and on ten i would try the router off and on | 10:52 |
| erle- | ActionParsnip, but that makes no sense if i am just browsing | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | erle-: true enough, i get what you mean | 10:52 |
| appocc | ok.. 10 minutes down and i restart it right? | 10:52 |
| erle- | ActionParsnip, she should protect it only, when an action is performed | 10:53 |
| _Linuxx_ | elad`` netstat -lt --numeric-ports | 10:53 |

| ActionParsnip | erle-: keep an eye on it and bump it occasionally | 10:57 |
| The_Joe_ | Help would be good. | 10:57 |
| andypatches | I read the documentation, and it said it supports it, but there doesn't seem to be a way to graphically sort by the TPE2 tag, spec the Album Artist tag | 10:57 |
| andypatches | And I looked at Amarok, and it doesn't seem to be support for that tag either in the media library. | 10:58 |

| The_Joe_ | ActionParsnip, What app? Sorry | 11:00 |

| appocc | ndiswrapper | 11:00 |
| The_Joe_ | ActionParsnip, Oh nevermind I think I got it working | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | The_Joe_: the program you run to see the levels for volumes and levels, what do you use? | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: there will be a newer ndiswrapper on the repos | 11:01 |
| The_Joe_ | ActionParsnip, The default - and hang on just testing it | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | The_Joe_: i dont use gnome, so i dont know what the default is | 11:01 |
| The_Joe_ | ActionParsnip, It's just called "Volume Control" | 11:01 |

| appocc | you now thats not | 11:02 |
| appocc | how could be if i can connect sometimes? | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | appocc: its meant to connect all the time, so the driver is bad | 11:02 |

However, after that it seems to timeout and the interface does not get an IP address using dhcp. If I shut down network manager and do everything manually (i.e. using iwconfig and dhclient | 11:14 |
| mne_ | 3) is works just fine without any problems. | 11:14 |

| C-S-B | Carstairs, change ISP? just cancel and get another | 11:25 |
| C-S-B | or change your ip | 11:25 |
| macrobad | _Cavalier: try pressing Alt+Tab in order to get the focus out away from the popup. In worst case you can kill compiz from a CLI, and restart it | 11:25 |
| Carstairs | thow im new to this | 11:25 |
| ziroday | mchelen: you can kill system beep all together with sudo rmmod pcskpr | 11:25 |
| C-S-B | IP doubt theyve banned your entire isp | 11:25 |
| learn_again | its not for gcc | 11:26 |
| learn_again | its for ath5k | 11:26 |

| mchelen | ziroday, "ERROR: Module pcskpr does not exist in /proc/modules" | 11:26 |

| C-S-B | Carstairs, lol, well i imagine it's your IP and username that's bad, you'll have to change both | 11:28 |
| macrobad | _Cavalier: It seems that something is wrong with your video card driver. Try killing the X server with Ctrl+Alt+BkSpc. If it works, then video drivers are ok. | 11:28 |
| Carstairs | how do i change ip? | 11:29 |
| daredakea | #bash | 11:29 |
| daredakea | oh, damn focus | 11:30 |
| _Cavalier | macrobad, I will try that. | 11:30 |
| C-S-B | Carstairs, unless you have a fixed ip from your ISP, then you can usually just unplug your modem and reconnect whereby youll get a new ip | 11:30 |
| Carstairs | no it must be fixed then as I have tried that | 11:31 |
| C-S-B | do you pay for a fixed ip? | 11:31 |
| Carstairs | no | 11:31 |
| C-S-B | go to whatismyip.com | 11:31 |
| C-S-B | before and after | 11:31 |
| Carstairs | bthomehub | 11:31 |
| Carstairs | ok | 11:31 |
| C-S-B | bthomehub, then you are most certainly getting a new ip | 11:31 |

| myeggo | oh, thanks i go try | 11:39 |
| cojack | ;/ | 11:39 |
| macrobad | myeggo: you can remove config files with sudo apt-get purge apache2. If apache2.2-common doesn't help, try this. | 11:39 |
| jrib1 | cojack: because it expects a file. This will work though: echo -n sometext | md5sum | 11:40 |
| cojack | macrobad: aptitude remove apache2 --purge | 11:40 |

| BartoN- | If I have got a script , which I would like to be able to run trough terminal where do I place it ? as in the folder | 12:11 |

| macrobad | BartoN-: In any directory from 'echo $PATH' output | 12:12 |
| azlon | how can I check to see if a port is open? | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | BartoN-: for a single user. make a bin dirctory in their home dir and put it there.. | 12:13 |
| macrobad | azlon: 'sudo netstat --inet -anp' | 12:13 |
| BartoN- | Cant move it to that it says error | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | BartoN-: /usr/bin is a SYSTEM directory - thus you ned root access to put things in it | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | BartoN-: what does the script do? is it for all users or just the 1? | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | BartoN-: sudo cp <script> /usr/bin | 12:14 |

| dr_willis | BartoN-: then sudo cp whatever whever | 12:14 |
| uPhone | ActionParsnip: No | 12:14 |
| BartoN- | ok thnx guys will try | 12:14 |
| abuchbinder | ActionParsnip, are you sure you want people to install scripts to run as root? | 12:14 |
| Nalf | uPhone: hit alt+f2, login, /var/log/Xorg.0.log let us know what that says, please? | 12:15 |
| macrobad | azlon: let me try it =) | 12:15 |
| uPhone | ActionParsnip: last time i had it running i was changing something with the X-server or something. when i rebooted all i got was a black screen | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | uPhone: when grub loads, press esc, then boot to recovery mode for your kernel, you can then select root console and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | uPhone: then reboot | 12:15 |
| uPhone | hmm. | 12:15 |
| uPhone | what does alt+f2 do? | 12:15 |
| abuchbinder | ActionParsnip, it might be a better idea to tell people to install it in ~/bin. | 12:16 |
| Nalf | uPhone: should bring up a terminal.. sort of. | 12:16 |
| topyli | when i log out, x freezes on the next login. when i switch to a virtual console, i get a blank screen and cannot get back to X. i'm using 64bit intrepid and intel 82Q35 Express graphics chip. in my Xorg log there is an error line "intel(0): Unable to write to SDVOCTRL_E for SDVOB Slave 0x70" several times. halp! | 12:16 |
| macrobad | azlon: Nope, because ping uses ICMP messages, which are part of IP protocol. ports on the other hand are associated with TCP or UDP. | 12:16 |
| LSG | My video files blink constantly when i play them (on Totem, VLC and MPlayer). I'd appreciate any help. | 12:16 |
| macrobad | ...or sctp | 12:16 |
| uPhone | also, it's on this computer, so i need to shut down.. in which case i wont be able to tell you what that log says | 12:16 |
| azlon | hrmm | 12:16 |
| azlon | crap | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | abuchbinder: i dont have that folder on my stock install, is ~/bin in the path? | 12:16 |
| macrobad | azlon: you probably need tcpdump (CLI) or wireshark (GUI) to view it | 12:17 |
| abuchbinder | azlon, you can use nmap to check ports, if that's what you want. | 12:17 |
| Nalf | uPhone: Do what ActionParsnip said anyways. Just make sure you backup your config. | 12:17 |
| abuchbinder | ActionParsnip, run "cat ~/.profile"; if you make a directory ~/bin and drop scripts in it, they'll show up first on your path. | 12:17 |
| azlon | abuchbinder: I just want to see if the ports for WebDAV are open/available | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | uPhone: reboot and press esc lots, select recovery mode for your kernel, boot to root console, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then reboot | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | andy@fileserver:~$ cat ~/.profile cat: /home/andy/.profile: No such file or directory | 12:18 |
| abuchbinder | azlon, install nmap and run "nmap xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p port,port". | 12:18 |
| topyli | ActionParsnip: ~/bin should be *first* in $PATH, so it's the best place for custom scripts | 12:18 |
| macrobad | azlon: you don't need ping for this. 'sudo netstat --inet -anp' should be enough, if you know what you're looking for | 12:18 |
| uPhone | ok brb | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | topyli: andy@fileserver:~$ echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 12:18 |
| abuchbinder | ActionParsnip, really? It's in /etc/skel on mine. | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | topyli: i have never modified my path | 12:19 |
| macrobad | azlon: more specifically, netstat shows ports open on your machine, and nmap on any other | 12:19 |
| topyli | ActionParsnip: that's a but then imo | 12:19 |
| topyli | ActionParsnip: bug even | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | topyli: standard install, its not affecting anything | 12:19 |
| abuchbinder | ActionParsnip, do you see anything in /etc/skel/.profile? If so, just copy it to your home directory; it should have been installed when you created the user. | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | abuchbinder: yes one is there | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | abuchbinder: i see | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | abuchbinder: i'll cp it over | 12:20 |
| abuchbinder | Do you have a ~/.bash_profile? | 12:20 |
| topyli | ActionParsnip: it affects all users who have their scripts in ~/bin, which is standard | 12:20 |
| abuchbinder | Wait, you wouldn't. Never mind. | 12:20 |
| azlon | macrobad: I think I need nmap because I am using the internet provided by my apartment. I don't have access to the router | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | topyli: i've never heard of ~/bin in all my years | 12:21 |
| chronic | where does network manager app stores the changes you make to the network settings? | 12:21 |
| topyli | ActionParsnip: maybe you haven't :) | 12:21 |
| sprinkmeier | ActionParsnip, ~/bin is quite common. | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | i have ~/scripts which i reference absolutely when needed | 12:22 |
| sprinkmeier | chronic, /etc/network/interfaces among other places | 12:22 |
| topyli | well, ~/bin is a 25 year old unix standard path | 12:22 |
| macrobad | azlon: routers don't have ports on their own. they can just block communications that occur between applications on different computers over specified protocols at specified ports. Hence, you can't use nmap to scan the router for open ports. | 12:22 |
| sprinkmeier | ActionParsnip, some distros are configured to add ~/bin to the path automagically if it exists | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | i see | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | i'm not contesting it, i'm just saying ive never heard of it | 12:23 |
| sprinkmeier | macrobad, acrually... routers have IP addresses and can have ports if they want to | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | and as it doesnt have a . in front of it it would be visible | 12:23 |
| abuchbinder | macrobad, are you sure you're not thinking of switches? | 12:23 |
| chronic | sprinkmeier, it's not in interfaces | 12:23 |
| sprinkmeier | chronic, (joining late) what isn't in interfaces? | 12:23 |
| azlon | macrobad: but I can use it to test a specific port... basically try to send information over that port and if it is unsucessful then the port is, in essence, blocked. | 12:24 |
| macrobad | sprinkmeier: abuchbinder: well, true that, but I am thinking of home routers. azlon is quite certainly isn't going to WebDAV into his router. | 12:24 |
| sprinkmeier | macrobad, home routers tend to have port 80 for configuration over http. | 12:24 |
| macrobad | azlon: ... or the port on the remote host is closed | 12:24 |
| ghostlines | routers for soho use also have layer 2 switches built in? | 12:25 |
| macrobad | sprinkmeier: yes, but I've yet to see routers that support WebDAV! | 12:25 |
| abuchbinder | chronic, NetworkManager configuration is stored in gconf keys; see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=399632 | 12:25 |
| azlon | macrobad: either way, nothing I can actually do about it. I have to email somebody to change some settings... I just want to know if I am doing something wrong with WebDAV or if some ports are blocked | 12:25 |
| sprinkmeier | ghostlines, yes, 'home routers' are an unholy combination of bridges, switches, routers and a few servers thrown in for good measure (DHCP for one) | 12:25 |
| Nalf | I have no sound out of my logitech usb headset.. what can I do to remedy this? | 12:26 |
| macrobad | azlon: run wireshark, and see if the packets actually leave your computer, if the destination is correct, and if there is any answer | 12:26 |
| azlon | macrobad: im not trying to run WebDAV on my router, im trying to access WebDAV on my server in the states, where as I am in Kuwait behind stupid routers | 12:26 |
| sprinkmeier | azlon, so you need port forwarding / DNAT? | 12:26 |
| azlon | sprinkmeier: I don't have physical access to the router I am behind... it is for the whole building and I have to call a lazy IT guy | 12:27 |
| macrobad | azlon: you can also try to nmap the WebDAV ports on the remote server, and see if it works. However, if it doesn't it you most likely don't know where is the problem | 12:27 |
| azlon | sprinkmeier: I understand that I will need to have the lazy IT guy forward some ports if they are not open, but I need to first verify if the ports are indeed blocked | 12:27 |
| macrobad | *where the problem is | 12:27 |
| azlon | ok, hold on | 12:28 |
| chronic | abuchbinder, gconf, thanks | 12:28 |
| sprinkmeier | azlon, if incomoing ports on the other router aren't forwarded then they are effectively blocked (as there is nowhere for the packets to go). Yes, you will need port-forwarding set up on the remote reouter. | 12:29 |
| macrobad | azlon: btw, nmap would only verify if there is connectivity. You'd have to use other means to check that settings are correct | 12:29 |
| sprinkmeier | azlon, you could use nmap to discover if the port is already being forwarded (someone else may already have it forwarded to their own box). | 12:30 |
| azlon | k | 12:31 |

| dr_willis | ive been slowly replacing all my 100 seed network parts to 1gb. so i have gb switches now on a non-gb network (well parts of it are gb) | 12:43 |
| sprinkmeier | fabzor, mosst likely. Depends on what else is on the switch. gigabit is nice 'cos it auto-0negotiates. | 12:44 |
| tomoyuki28jp | dr_willis: I can currently shutdown OS without privileges from system -> shutdown in GUI, so I thought there should be already such command which doesn't require root privileges. | 12:44 |
| fabzor | ahh cool good point | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | tomoyuki28jp: from what i gather its some how using gdm to do it. and gdm is ran as root priv. I think. | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | tomoyuki28jp: if you started the desktop without using gdm. those options may change/vanish/differ ive noticed. | 12:45 |
| tomoyuki28jp | dr_willis: oh, it makes sense. thanks! | 12:46 |

| macrobad | sprinkmeier: it merely keeps looking for SSHv1 keys in all the standard paths no matter what I do, although everything works fine with IPv4. | 13:31 |
| sprinkmeier | macrobad, I've (sort of) used ssh over v6, creating a reverse tunnel and ssh-ing to ::1 (mostly because it's quicker to type than 127.0.0.1) | 13:31 |
| macrobad | :) | 13:31 |
| macrobad | sprinkmeier: have a look: http://pastebin.com/m4a8f0e6f | 13:31 |
| sprinkmeier | macrobad, disable sshv1 for starters... bugs. | 13:32 |

| ziroday | Skaag: err did you install the drivers from the repo | 13:36 |
| Skaag | a modprobe for nvidia says not found | 13:36 |

| Skaag | Right now I'm in low graphics mode | 13:37 |

| ziroday | Skaag: oh kay, did you edit your xorg.conf? | 13:37 |
| Skaag | I ran nvidia-xconfig which did that for me... was that too presumptius? :_) | 13:37 |
| Skaag | presumptuous | 13:38 |
| sprinkmeier | macrobad, everything looks right.... except for the bit where it doesn't work. "fec0" addresses, i.e. same copper? no fancy 6-4-6 tunnelling? | 13:38 |

| macrobad | sprinkmeier: fec0... is Site-local unicast. It was deprecated, but still allowed to have until a substitution is adopted. It is similar to IPv4 private addresses. Anyway, I just don't have public routable addresses for the whole lab, and therefore experiment with private ones. | 13:40 |
| ziroday | Skaag: actually I have to run. I'm sure somebody else will be able to help you here. | 13:40 |

| b1n42y | conky gives me Conky: can't parse X color 'white' have googled has anyone come across this ? | 14:29 |
| hx | it is alpha right now? beta ? beta 2? | 14:29 |
| o891_ | BlackAeronaut: yeah well thats not bad considering the problem is your video card | 14:29 |
| shauno | bong_: good chance it's networking upstream from the computer. whether your router is forwarding correctly, whether your isp attempts to block self-hosted servers, etc | 14:29 |
| BlackAeronaut | o891: Argh. | 14:29 |
| o891_ | BlackAeronaut: anyway before we start messing with all xorg configuration i would rather you try to install from the alternate cd | 14:29 |
| vxworks | how do I setup a certain program to be executed at login time? | 14:29 |
| hx | after login or before? | 14:30 |
| fliegenderfrosch | !autostart | 14:30 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 14:30 |
| vxworks | hx, after | 14:30 |
| vxworks | hx, gdm login | 14:30 |
| hx | if after, then follow what ubottu said. | 14:30 |
| Lint | !tracker | 14:30 |
| ubottu | Services to index files for fast searching include: Beagle (front-ends: beagle, catfish, gnome-main-menu, mozilla-beagle for !GNOME; kerry, kio-beagle for !KDE; beaglefs for !CLI) - Tracker (tracker-search-tool, libdeskbar-tracker for GNOME; tracker-utils for CLI) - Strigi (strigi-applet, strigi-client for KDE, strigi-utils for CLI) - Kat (for KDE) - Pinot (and pinot-applet for GNOME) - Doodle (for CLI) | 14:30 |
| vxworks | ok, but I want command line | 14:31 |
| fliegenderfrosch | vxworks: use your .profile | 14:31 |
| bong_ | shauno: I don't know whether my isp block self-hosted server or not | 14:31 |
| BlackAeronaut | o891: Its going to take me a while to download. | 14:32 |

| Buffalo_Bill | HI! Been looking on the forum for an answer but can't find any. I got a Macbook 2nd Gen with ubuntu 8.10 and wifi works perfectly at boot. When I suspend, it still works but I can't get Internet with some networks. | 14:32 |
| hx | bong_ maybe because they want you to take t1,. | 14:32 |
| o891_ | BlackAeronaut: well i have to go back to uni, but that should certainly work, at least the install, as the install is terminal based and so doesnt require xserver, once it works you will nevertheless still not be able to boot into gnome so you will have to have a look at how to configure you xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 | 14:33 |
| corey | when I go into suspend my laptop only lasts about 3-4 hours untill the battery dies. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this? | 14:33 |
| bong_ | hx: how can I know my isp block my self-hosted server | 14:34 |
| BlackAeronaut | o891: So this would be a driver issue then? | 14:34 |
| Bizzeh | so, it apears i cant use ubuntu at all on my new i7 because of the onboard NIC not being supported by linux in general | 14:34 |
| o891_ | BlackAeronaut: here have a look at this http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20584300/xorg.conf (change your xorg.conf file to this and see if it works) | 14:34 |
| Buffalo_Bill | corey: I think it is less consuming than being used, still it is not as power saving as shutting it down... | 14:34 |
| np4me | Why dont any other sounds work when i have music playing in a player? eg: No youtube vids have sound if im playing music in exaile(or any other player) | 14:35 |
| BlackAeronaut | o891: Iĺl do what I can. | 14:35 |
| corey | bizzeh: then get a new NIC. They can be bought for less than $15 | 14:35 |
| o891_ | BlackAeronaut: yes it is a driver issue | 14:35 |
| Bizzeh | np4me: thats called exclusive mode | 14:35 |
| Bizzeh | corey: why should i? | 14:35 |
| Bizzeh | NIC works perfectly in windows... | 14:35 |
| bong_ | shauno: how can I know my isp block my self-hosted server | 14:35 |
| hx | uhm, well i supposed you are using certain port. If you are very sure that you dont have a router blocking you or a firewall, then try port scan at that port. (http://www.canyouseeme.org/) check that page and type your port. | 14:35 |
| corey | bizzeh: because you want to use linux on your i7... | 14:35 |
| Bizzeh | bong_: try and access it from the outside.... | 14:35 |
| np4me | Bizzeh: Can it be fixed? | 14:36 |
| Bizzeh | corey: i can live without it | 14:36 |
| Favorit | Bizzeh: which NIC is it? | 14:36 |
| Tr4sK | Hi | 14:36 |
| Bizzeh | np4me: turn off exclusive mode | 14:36 |
| osfameron | hmmm, if lspci doesn't show my sound controller, is it likely to be a physical failure? anything else I can do to diagnose that? | 14:36 |
| np4me | Bizzeh: Where? | 14:36 |
| hx | bong_: uhm, well i supposed you are using certain port. If you are very sure that you dont have a router blocking you or a firewall, then try port scan at that port. (http://www.canyouseeme.org/) check that page and type your port | 14:36 |
| Bizzeh | Favorit: its listed in windows as "Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller" | 14:36 |
| BlackAeronaut | o891: Figures. I only managed to get a proper driver to work in Windows XP earlier today, and even then it was only through the judicious use of a piece of conversion software that some kind soul hacked up. | 14:36 |
| Favorit | Bizzeh: oh, I see. never heard of that chipset yet. wouldn't surprise me if stock kernel of ubuntu doesn't support it yet | 14:37 |
| o891_ | BlackAeronaut: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20761221/xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz (driver for your card, should work) Copy the .tar.gz file to / and | 14:37 |
| o891_ | run "sudo tar -zxvf xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz" | 14:37 |
| Favorit | Bizzeh: let me look it up for you | 14:37 |
| shauno | bong_: I'd check in apache's log to see if his attempts register at all. if your router logs, look there too. if they're showing up on neither, you can assume it's upstream from there. you can also running apache on a non-standard high port and see if you get different results | 14:37 |
| Bizzeh | Favorit: checked the ubuntu site, there is a guide for it, but for an older motherboard than mine, and it doesnt work | 14:37 |
| BlackAeronaut | o891: Will do! | 14:37 |
| corey | can apache be run from a desktop machine? | 14:37 |
| np4me | How do I turn off exclusive mode? | 14:37 |
| hx | corey: of course. | 14:37 |
| Bizzeh | corey: yeah, i do it all the time... infact, im doing it right now | 14:38 |
| fliegenderfrosch | corey: it can | 14:38 |
| Wanderer | ugh, why is kmix refuxing to un-mute my sound? | 14:38 |
| Bizzeh | np4me: depends on your audio setup | 14:38 |
| o891_ | BlackAeronaut: sorry that was all a bit complicated: 1). install with the alternate CD 2). install the driver 3). edit your xorg.conf file 4). reboot | 14:38 |
| Bizzeh | what your asking is similar to "how do i change a lock" | 14:38 |
| wers | i changed my swap partition.how do i update my fstab? | 14:38 |
| BlackAeronaut | o891: Ah, it allmakes sense now. ;) | 14:38 |
| o891_ | BlackAeronaut: Good Luck! That should work though. other wise come back and ask again, if I am not here someone else should be able to help you! | 14:38 |
| hx | Wanderer: i believe that kmix stuff is supported in kubuntu channel right? #kubuntu | 14:38 |
| np4me | Bizzeh: How do I turn it off anyway? | 14:39 |
| Favorit | Bizzeh: there's a kernel patch it seems | 14:39 |
| Bizzeh | np4me: it depends on your audio setup | 14:39 |
| np4me | Bizzeh: Ok... | 14:39 |
| xDCDx | hello, how can I remotely restart a machine when halt, reboot and shutdown commands are not available? | 14:39 |
| BlackAeronaut | o891: Thanks. I certainly do hope that it works. If it does, Iĺl post my tale on the forums for some other lost soul to follow. | 14:39 |
| Bizzeh | there is no real answer.. it depends what driver, audio server and application your using | 14:39 |
| o891_ | BlackAeronaut: Great! Good luck! | 14:40 |
| bong_ | hx: i tried http://www.canyouseeme.org/, and got error:Error: I could not see your service on 118.137.40.231 on port (80) | 14:40 |
| Favorit | Bizzeh: http://www.unav-micro.com/Download.aspx?id=13 tried this driver already? | 14:40 |
| Bizzeh | xDCDx: call the police of the area the machine is housed in, and tell them to cut the power to that building because it has terrorist activities going on in it... when they cut the power and check it out, the machine will go down... when they realise you hoaxed them, they will switch the power back on... machine should come back on with that | 14:40 |

| Bizzeh | Favorit: that didnt show in my searches, ill try it later :) | 14:41 |
| Bizzeh | thanks | 14:41 |

| corey | Does anyone know about linux for the PS3? | 15:10 |
| hx | ps -ef|grep PROCESS >>filename | 15:10 |
| bong__ | hx: sorry... electricity drop. There is no problem with my apache | 15:10 |
| DJones | zxd: I see what you mean, you should be able to try !info packagename | 15:10 |
| zenlunatic | lukeqsee, press 'e' on the grub kernel pointer (vmlinux) and at the end of it add a "3" and boot. that boots without sarting x | 15:10 |

| gameboy439 | oCean: after running that command, it says "fuse: failed to access mountpoint /disk2: no such file or directory" | 15:10 |
| zxd | DJones, I want to search for a specific dir | 15:10 |
| zxd | never mind found it with apt-file | 15:10 |

| oCean_ | gameboy439: In my example, I created a /disk2 directory "sudo mkdir /disk2" | 15:11 |

| gameboy439 | oCean: oh ok, one sec... | 15:11 |
| fliegenderfrosch | c0p3rn1c: you could try if it works if you install the flash plugin from the adobe page, they provide a deb for ubuntu | 15:11 |
| |REM| | anyone know of a small command line only version of linux i can install into a vm? | 15:11 |
| cj | |REM|: debian | 15:12 |
| cj | |REM|: how small? | 15:12 |
| c0p3rn1c | fliegenderfrosch: I have a 64 bit system and they only provide 32 bit | 15:12 |
| |REM| | as small as possible | 15:12 |
| cj | c0p3rn1c: 64-bit will do 32-bit | 15:12 |
| |REM| | dont need any of of the extras | 15:12 |
| cj | |REM|: what architecture? x86? | 15:12 |
| gameboy439 | oCean: the commands went through with no errors, but i still don't see the drive anywhere in Computer or the desktop | 15:12 |
| |REM| | yes | 15:12 |

| tavish | hi! im having problems with my sound. is there a way i can get the default sound settings back ? | 15:12 |
| bong__ | shauno:sorry... electricity drop | 15:12 |
| c0p3rn1c | cj: do I have to force the installation of that package ? | 15:12 |
| corey | fliegenderfrosch: Thats brilliant! Its wonderfull how people assume you arent bright enough to use google. And there is no way that I would be on the IRC to learn of peoples opinion first hand. | 15:13 |
| cj | c0p3rn1c: ah, I see what you mean. it's a i386 .deb... | 15:13 |
| regeya | well, the system rescue cd, at around 100mb, would be small enough for a mini cd | 15:13 |
| bong__ | shauno: my apache worked well | 15:13 |
| cj | c0p3rn1c: you could alien it to a tarball and then run from the tarball | 15:13 |
| gameboy439 | oCean: i just looked at it in GParted and it looks like its mounted | 15:13 |
| |REM| | k. i am looking for around 50MB or less | 15:13 |
| === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz | ||
| c0p3rn1c | cj, they also provide a tar | 15:13 |
| cj | c0p3rn1c: use the tar :) | 15:13 |
| oCean_ | gameboy439: ok, then "df -h" should also list your mounted drive | 15:13 |
| cj | |REM|: what are you doing with it? | 15:14 |
| gameboy439 | oCean: just df -h, nothing else? | 15:14 |
| oCean_ | gameboy439: to make this persistent, e.g. mount that disk at that directory every boot, you have to add a line to the file called /etc/fstab | 15:14 |
| cj | |REM|: debian sarge may do what you're looking for. are you using xen? | 15:14 |
| |REM| | installing glassfish and our custom software so that I can throw it on a cd to send out to clients | 15:14 |
| c0p3rn1c | cj: ok thanks, should I also uninstall the current flash player first ? | 15:14 |
| oCean_ | gameboy439: yes df -h, should output all your filesystems (including size,used and free) | 15:14 |
| cj | c0p3rn1c: probably ought to. | 15:14 |

| |REM| | i was using DSL but when if I close the VM without doing a graceful shutdown, the next time you start the VM, it complains and you have to do fsck on it | 15:15 |
| dsdeiz | hmm, just wondering if there's a way to make ubuntu firefox render pages similar to windows firefox | 15:15 |
| cj | c0p3rn1c: should be relatively painless | 15:15 |
| |REM| | and i cant have that | 15:15 |
| cj | c0p3rn1c: you may need to install the ia32 compat libs | 15:15 |
| oCean_ | DrOwl: just state your issue, and see if someone can help you | 15:16 |
| gameboy439 | oCean: ok i put in the command and it listed it, but i still don't see it in Computer, like any icon for it, how can i make that happen? | 15:16 |
| hx | zamba: sorry man but php4 has been completely replaced with php5 . SO they remove it from repos. | 15:16 |
| kitche | |REM|: well any linux will make you do a fsck if you do not shutdown gracefully | 15:16 |
| cj | |REM|: I believe sarge has ext3 | 15:16 |
| hx | zamba: you will have to compile it. | 15:16 |
| cj | kitche: not if you're using a journaled filesystem | 15:16 |
| |REM| | k. thanks cj. I will check that out | 15:16 |
| DrOwl | I would like to mount on boot some (password protected) windows shares | 15:16 |
| hx | zamba: http://www.php.net/downloads.php | 15:16 |
| cj | |REM|: what does your customer software depend on? sarge is officially obsolete | 15:16 |
| kitche | cj: umm no it will just do itself | 15:16 |
| hx | scroll down the page | 15:16 |
| kitche | cj: which DSL runs on is ext3 | 15:17 |
| cj | kitche: recovering from a journal and fsck'ing the disk are different | 15:17 |
| |REM| | just glassfish and java | 15:17 |
| DrOwl | I can do so manually via cli, but am stumped as to how to make that happen in fstab (considering the PW issue) | 15:17 |
| cj | |REM|: what version of java? I don't know what glassfish is | 15:17 |
| bong__ | hx: I already enable my router for port 80 | 15:17 |
| zamba | hx: why do they do this.. i understand that they want people to use php5 and mysql5 and all that, but why not just leave the packages there and let people install it using a force option or something | 15:17 |
| zamba | i don't get it | 15:17 |
| |REM| | glassfish is java's application server | 15:17 |
| oCean_ | gameboy439: ah, I'm not a icon-kind-a-guy, I don't know. Think it's somewhere in config editor (gnome preferences) | 15:17 |
| mrec | hi, is the tftpd ubuntu package supposed to work with ubuntu? | 15:17 |
| DrOwl | the user:PW of my untuntu box is the same as my share (domain) | 15:17 |
| |REM| | and it would be the latest version of java | 15:17 |
| hx | Because the stop supporting it, that means no bug fixes or security fixes. | 15:17 |
| hx | they* | 15:17 |
| cj | |REM|: ah, app server | 15:17 |
| disappearedng | Not related question: does any1 here knows the term for a liquid that can fit into any shape and size? | 15:17 |

| gameboy439 | oCean: oh ok, yea i'm completely new to linux, so i gotta master all the GUI stuff before I get all text-based and command line, lol | 15:18 |
| hx | zamba: maybe you may try php5 and try resolving issues. Its the best for you | 15:18 |
| oCean_ | gameboy439: you still have to add a line to the /etc/fstab file to make the mount appear every boot. See here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions on how that works (there are various options for writeaccess etcetera) | 15:18 |
| Axan | Lu | 15:18 |

| zxd | in ubuntu they removed a theme debian-moreblue from the debianized gdm package but it isn't mentioed in the changelog | 15:18 |
| gameboy439 | oCean: oh ok, i'll do that | 15:18 |
| hx | zamba: are you sure it wont work? | 15:19 |
| |REM| | if sarge doesnt work, i need to look for something I can install on ext3? | 15:19 |
| oCean_ | gameboy439: in (very) short, the line that you have to add is something like "/dev/sdb1 /disk2 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0" | 15:19 |
| cj | |REM|: anything will install on ext3 | 15:19 |
| |REM| | k | 15:19 |
| rage-- | can some one help me getting Hamachi working? I would really appreciate it :p | 15:19 |
| oCean_ | gameboy439: where 'defaults' is the part that you may have to change for your own needs, like write permissions etc. | 15:19 |
| shauno | |REM|: ext3 is kernel support, rather than distro support. it should be fairly ubiquitous | 15:19 |
| cj | |REM|: you can probably fit hardy into 64M if you remove all of the docs and locale data | 15:20 |
| zamba | hx: it "works".. but i have a couple of errors and the developers won't touch it since we're running it on php5, since they say that it is only guaranteed to work on php4 | 15:20 |
| c0p3rn1c | cj: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported | 15:20 |
| |REM| | ok great. I will give these a try. thanks for the info! | 15:20 |

| c0p3rn1c | I can't watch the full episodes southparkstudios.com, I'm getting a darkgray panel, while I have flashplugin-nonfree + ubuntu-restricted-extras installed :S | 15:21 |
| zamba | and php is so dependant on apache that you can't compile php4 without first compiling apache | 15:21 |
| zamba | god damn | 15:21 |
| zamba | this is killing me | 15:21 |
| regeya | cj, what that person failed to tell you is that ubuntu calls x86_64 amd64 even if it's intel 64bit | 15:21 |
| jussi01 | mib_vqfx9y: try asking in #ubuntu+1 | 15:21 |
| oCean_ | !ohmy | zamba | 15:21 |
| ubottu | zamba: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. | 15:21 |
| regeya | so 64-bit x86 is supported, it's just called amd64 | 15:22 |

| regeya | if people are going to help, they need to help instead of being snotty | 15:22 |
| zamba | so i end up with compiled-up versions of php4, apach2 and mysql4 :p | 15:22 |

| jussi01 | regeya: do you have a support question? | 15:24 |
| regeya | but honestly, other distributions use x86_64, ubuntu uses amd64. it's not an opportunity for snobbery when someone says x86_64 | 15:24 |

| mrec | funkyHat: I think I should have written such a tftp server by myself, tftpd is not only rubbish the package itself is crap | 15:37 |

| Whitor | Hi. I'm trying to get a serial port working on a pcmcia card in a laptop. I know the card is supported, its a CB2S650. Uses real uart chips. When I do a dmesg | tail I see: [95467.113973] 0.0: ttyS0 at I/O 0x8108 (irq = 3) is a 16450 But this card has TWO (2) ports. How do I address each specifically? Further, when I try to use ttyS0 (on either port) it doesn't seem to work. (I'm guessing I'm addressing them wrong... but I'm not sure. | 15:42 |
| Whitor | ) Any ideas ? | 15:42 |
| cj | mrec: man in.tftpd | 15:42 |
| mrec | cj: there's not much there | 15:42 |

| drostie | Is there a way to generically allocate a segment of the disk without caring what it contains? Or am I stuck with [sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/myfile bs=filesize count=1]...? | 16:32 |

| sharidog | ggrgr pls. a faster way to get at less 800x640 resolusion.. | 16:33 |
| drostie | roue: Well, it's all on an LVM partition. I'm just thinking that the swapfile can reside in /tmp and be deleted and recreated at boot. | 16:33 |
| drostie | I guess if that's not possible, yeah, my next best option is to generate an extra partition for swap. But :-\. | 16:34 |
| Keal | sharidog has anyone ever even needed to use 800x640 aspect? | 16:35 |
| sharidog | a name of an app to change defaults resolusion in kubuntu pls | 16:35 |

| Keal | btw shadearg 600x350 is a valid svga screen mode below "600x480" | 16:38 |
| keystr0k | drostie, something like: dd if=/dev/zero of=file_to-create bs=1k count=1000 | 16:38 |
| fliegenderfrosch | sadaiyappan: kubuntu uses kde as the default desktop environment, ubuntu uses gnome | 16:38 |
| sadaiyappan | which is better/ | 16:39 |
| Pici | !flavors | sadaiyappan | 16:39 |
| ubottu | sadaiyappan: !GTK and !Qt are !GUI toolkits (i.e. software libraries that draw buttons, textboxes, etc). !GNOME, !KDE, !Xfce and friends are "!desktop environments", which build on top of such libraries to provide a "consistent" desktop experience. !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu | 16:39 |
| drostie | I like how keystr0k and kitche both came up with the exact method I specified in my original comment --_--;; | 16:39 |
| Whitor | drostie, dd if=/dev/zero of=output.dat bs=1024 count=10240 Will create a 10MB file | 16:39 |

| Ax3 | greetings, I have hooked up my ubuntu to display on my 42" 720p samsung (via a hdmi <-> dvi cable) and set the resolution to 1280 x 720p but the desktop is outside the bounds of the border, how do I fix the desktop so I can see all of it? I'm also using a 8800gts nvidia, ubuntu is intrepid. | 16:48 |
| wadzar | 42", woot | 16:48 |
| Wladimir | how can i put own programs into a ubuntu live-usb stick? | 16:48 |
| Ax3 | hehe yea wadzar | 16:48 |
| vigo | pepso: before install, look at and print out some of the info at the forums and at the main site. | 16:48 |
| pepso | vigo: ok | 16:49 |
| bin1010 | is anyone running 8.10 64-bit and the nvidia drivers? | 16:49 |
| Ax3 | yes | 16:49 |
| vigo | pepso: is a rather simple operation,I did it a few times now. | 16:49 |
| Jeruvy | Ax3: I'd be surprised if you can get that resolution, I'd presume you'd need to use 1024x768 (ntsc) | 16:49 |
| wadzar | Wladimir : just boot on it and install the programs you want. They will stay on your key even if you reboot | 16:49 |

| anabolix | anyone know why hcitool scan wont detect my bluetooth headset? | 16:51 |
| vigo | pepso: Easiest way is make certain the CD/DVD or whatever you are using as first boot device is set as such, if installing from CD, DVD, make that so in BIOS. | 16:51 |
| Ax3 | why does VGA work in ubuntu, but not HDMI/DVi... | 16:51 |

| Jeruvy | Ax3: for instance my toshiba is very clear not to use PC output via hdmi, but the vga input works great. | 16:53 |
| Ax3 | sandoon_, it is possible to create various bots, but it takes some technical know-how, a popular services and channel administration bot is eggdrop. google that. There's also various perl and python libraries available to do more sophisticated things. | 16:53 |

| Ax3 | Jeruvy, yea, i definitely can say that the VGA was good, i heard though that the clarity via HDMI was supposed to be superior... im not even sure my dad has the manual... lol | 16:55 |
| vigo | pepso: But as always, please look at the official forums, link is at ubuntu site, also read the official Canonical how-to's. The reason for setting CD/DVD as first boot device is so that it will locate (whatever) on boot and make-install, it actually will be a Live CD, you then have the option to install or not. | 16:55 |
| Ax3 | Jeruvy, maybe im out $10... *shrug*, im going to try to google the manual, thanks for your input so far | 16:55 |

| Whitor | frog_, for whole partition backup... I would use a turnkey distro called clonezilla ... but thats just me... I'm sure you can do it with ubuntu too | 17:37 |
| kitche | epaphus: look at dmesg | 17:37 |
| adi1 | this doesn resolve my freezing | 17:37 |
| sipior | adi1: you say the next version of ubuntu doesn't exhibit this problem, so you might consider an upgrade, albeit to a beta. | 17:38 |
| Ehsan_mahmoudi | hi | 17:38 |
| frog_ | Whitor: is it ok, when i use rsync? | 17:38 |
| adi1 | i will submit but how can i resovle this | 17:38 |

| frog_ | Whitor: ok, thanks | 17:38 |
| adi1 | innterpid it'snot so good | 17:38 |

| adi1 | but 9.04 alpha 5 i tried it's the best | 17:39 |
| sipior | adi1: well, downgrade or upgrade. or see if the driver writer has a fix for you | 17:39 |

| LandonG | daftykins: Yeah | 17:40 |
| kitche | racecar56: many things will not work correctly | 17:41 |
| racecar56 | kitche i thought so | 17:41 |

| adi1 | ok thanks guys | 17:41 |
| LandonG | daftykins: Hmm...I can try real quick | 17:41 |
| kitche | racecar56: you could but it's just a pain when you try to install certain things | 17:41 |
| cousteau | dimebar: I don't need to compile it, it's a Java program. I only need to copy some files to /usr/share and /usr/bin | 17:41 |

| dimebar | cousteau: ah, ok; not sure how its done in that case | 17:43 |
| Ehsan_mahmoudi | Yasumoto: sorry! | 17:43 |
| Ehsan_mahmoudi | Yasumoto: yes | 17:43 |

| dimebar | cousteau: old but maybe relevant: http://www.thesatya.com/blog/2005/07/makingadeb.html | 17:44 |
| Yasumoto | Ehsan_mahmoudi: no worries :). yes? no? | 17:44 |
| Ehsan_mahmoudi | Yasumoto: i want to find the file that these lists save in | 17:44 |
| kitche | BOZG: yes since they are the same OS | 17:44 |
| lesceil1 | why do linux distributions like ubuntu still per default only contain eclipse 3.2 in their repository when there is a 3.3 and 3.4 out? | 17:44 |
| Ehsan_mahmoudi | it's address | 17:44 |
| BOZG | kitche: Would there be any reason why hardware would run one out of the box and not on the other? | 17:45 |
| BOZG | After vanilla installs or both? | 17:45 |
| LandonG | daftykins: Yeah, I do get something. | 17:45 |
| daftykins | can you pastebin? | 17:45 |

| Ehsan_mahmoudi | Yasumoto: ok | 17:47 |
| daftykins | was it a .deb that you manually installed, LandonG ? | 17:47 |

| daftykins | do you have a USB key that you could create a text file of things and pastebin using an Internet connected computer, LandonG ? | 17:47 |
| LandonG | It was a .tz2 that I unpackaged, then ran the mkdir file | 17:47 |
| kleftisx | i want to use the command "top" to see the process. but excluding the ones that belongs to root. how can i do that? | 17:47 |
| kitche | BOZG: maybe the ubuntu has a patch that kubuntu does not work or it could be knetwork-manager | 17:48 |
| zsakr | but is it by default like that? | 17:48 |
| Yasumoto | Ehsan_mahmoudi: er, maybe this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto?action=show&redirect=CommandLinePackageManagement | 17:48 |
| racecar56 | lesceil1 erusul gave u the answer, did u see it? if u didnt i can send it again | 17:48 |
| LandonG | daftykins: Sure, one sec | 17:48 |
| keith_ | zsakr, erUSUL: Does it not? I am fairly certain I have used SSH on an Ubuntu computer that was sitting at the login screen. | 17:48 |
| racecar56 | Yasumoto too late doh | 17:48 |
| daftykins | try looking for extra options in "man top" kleftisx | 17:48 |
| === geo is now known as geo05 | ||
| zsakr | Im not sure | 17:48 |
| zsakr | please advise | 17:48 |
| racecar56 | Yasumoto been there done thaty | 17:48 |
| racecar56 | *that | 17:48 |
| erUSUL | !who | zsakr | 17:48 |
| ubottu | zsakr: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 17:48 |
| lesceil1 | racecar56: no I got it, thanks. I will just disregard whats in the repository and download it directly | 17:48 |
| BOZG | kitche: Possibly. I don't have a wired connection so I can't try updating Kubuntu to see if that will work. | 17:49 |
| zsakr | Why does ubuntu default to not starting the network until you log in via the GUI? is this always True? | 17:49 |
| daftykins | there we go kleftisx, the syntax is "top -u USERNAME" | 17:49 |
| BOZG | kitche: And ndiswrapper refuses to load drivers. | 17:49 |
| erUSUL | zsakr: it is | 17:49 |
| racecar56 | lesceil1 be careful, use checkinstall if u r compiling | 17:49 |
| zsakr | i just logged out of the GUI and my ssh connection from another machine went dead | 17:49 |
| BOZG | I'll hopefully have a wired connection by Thursday so until then I'll just keep banging my head! | 17:49 |
| LandonG | daftykins: Do you think if I upgraded to kde 4.2, it would help? | 17:49 |
| zsakr | then when i logged back in it told me i was logged on to the network | 17:49 |
| zsakr | and it worked again | 17:49 |
| lesceil1 | racecar56: whats checkinstall ? | 17:49 |
| zsakr | why erUSUL ? | 17:50 |
| kleftisx | daftykins : i have use it that before. i dont want to put a username and show the process of that user. just to exclude the root user. | 17:50 |
| erUSUL | zsakr: i aklready told you why this happens and how to correct it | 17:50 |
| nightdrever | OK ....... ive tried a few things but im unable to access my windows files from ubuntu......can anyone help me? | 17:50 |
| racecar56 | lesceil1 it tells apt that xxx (where xxx is the program u compiling) is installed as well as installing | 17:50 |
| erUSUL | zsakr: see my responses to you | 17:50 |
| daftykins | no LandonG , that should define only what you see rather than what works really - if there were a kernel update available that may help - but it's perhaps unlikely. would it be worth searching for kubuntu msi wind compatibility? | 17:50 |
| racecar56 | lesceil1 believe me, i have btdt (been there done that) *MANY* times | 17:50 |
| LandonG | daftykins: I've been doing that with not much success | 17:50 |
| erUSUL | nightdrever: install "ntfs-config" and use it. "gksudo ntfs-config" | 17:50 |
| daftykins | ah i see kleftisx , sorry | 17:50 |
| lesceil1 | racecar56: that is not specifically to eclipse, right? just general advice? | 17:50 |
| racecar56 | lesceil1 ? | 17:51 |

| ubottu | sides: 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).

| saurabh | ya | 18:36 |

| aryah | does someone here use vimperator plugin perhps? the system sometimes behaves strangely, i suspect it might be the cause . system is unresponsive, and the cursor and current address in statusbar of firefox blink rapidly. then it normalises by itself? | 18:39 |
| sebsebseb | sides: well and Gnash is free software from the Free Software Foundation, and Swfdec is open source. so that right there is a reason to use one of them, if they are good enough for your Flash usage. and they have both been coming along quite nicely | 18:40 |
| ubuntistas | help firefox opened as a full screen | 18:40 |

| racecar56 | i have to keep rmmoding | 18:46 |
| thiebaude | uusedman: i had problems with gnash and swfdec | 18:46 |

| uusedman | sebsebseb, how can i check which flash player is installed? | 18:46 |
| rww | talkabout: The actual package is at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/. You could download the one you need and then install it manually, maybe? | 18:47 |
| sebsebseb | uusedman: in Synaptic package manager | 18:47 |
| uusedman | thiebaude, in installed them when i tried to play a movie in google | 18:47 |
| uusedman | sebsebseb, i am downloading an upgrade, and i hope my wireless works after that | 18:47 |

| DexterF | sebsebseb: got it, thanks. you ever tried that? need to uninst the "old" flash plugin? | 18:54 |
| sebsebseb | Onerice: you can have both Ubuntu and Xubuntu and even Kubuntu installed | 18:54 |

| Onerice | jimcooncat: Thanks, but are there any advantages of having both gnome and xfce? | 18:54 |
| sebsebseb | DexterF: ,but the guy that does the article, is like the best LInux articles authour. so I'll pretty much take his word for nearly anything, when it comes to Linux | 18:55 |

| Onerice | jimcooncat: I see. The same programs will work in both gnome & xfce I guess? | 18:56 |
| jimcooncat | Onerice, the thing is you're not talking a whole lot of difference here. If you like Thunar, xfce's file manager, you can run it under gnome just as well. | 18:56 |
| fghjk | talk about what ? | 18:56 |
| sebsebseb | DexterF: yep get rid of your old flash version first of course | 18:56 |
| fghjk | openvpn? | 18:56 |
| Lord-Jynx | live is 8.10 or 9.04 | 18:56 |
| fghjk | you know rww ? | 18:56 |
| sim_kharkov | openvpn! | 18:56 |
| corey | how do i uninstall programs? | 18:57 |
| sebsebseb | corey: sudo apt-get purge programname | 18:57 |
| weatherkid | I have a Samba related question. Can I ask it here or do I need to go to #samba? | 18:57 |
| LjL | !software > corey (corey, see the private message from ubottu) | 18:57 |
| uusedman | corey, which program, either through synaptian manage or terminal | 18:57 |
| jimcooncat | Onerice: Yes. Some gnome programs (evolution comes to mind) take just a bit longer to start up under xfce, as they have to load stuff already present in gnome. | 18:57 |
| Onerice | Ok jimcooncat: Just checking. I liked xfce, so I can go with xubuntu and still use wine and programs like that? | 18:57 |
| Onerice | Thanks, jimcooncat! :) | 18:57 |
| racecar56 | xubuntu + wine = suck | 18:58 |
| Onerice | racecar56: how so= | 18:58 |
| Onerice | ?* | 18:58 |
| LjL | weatherkid: if it's in ubuntu, you can ask here. | 18:58 |
| sebsebseb | Onerice: yeah also the versin of XFCE is pretty old in Ubuntu, and there's a much better newer version, I guess that might be in Jaunty | 18:58 |
| marcel | Onerice, i use xubuntu all the time, its great, you can still use kde/gnome wine etc. | 18:58 |
| racecar56 | Onerice because it puts all the wine'd programs in other | 18:58 |
| dreamy | hi room!!! | 18:58 |
| racecar56 | Onerice which is REALLY aggrivating | 18:58 |
| sim_kharkov | hi dreamy | 18:58 |
| racecar56 | hi | 18:58 |
| dreamy | hi.... | 18:58 |
| sebsebseb | Onerice: by the way you like XFCE | 18:58 |
| jimcooncat | racecar56: What's the difference between wine under xfce and under gnome? | 18:58 |
| sebsebseb | Onerice: Xubuntu uses XFCE | 18:58 |
| sim_kharkov | jimcooncat xfce faster | 18:59 |
| Onerice | racecar56: puts the programs in other? | 18:59 |
| marcel | jimcooncat, nothing | 18:59 |
| aryah | racecar56 why not edit the menues to your liking? its just a silly launcher anyways.. | 18:59 |
| racecar56 | jimcooncat it puts all the wined programs in other | 18:59 |
| Onerice | sebsebseb: Yes, I'm thinking of getting xubuntu. | 18:59 |
| racecar56 | aryah wined programs go in other on xfce thats why i dont like it | 18:59 |
| jimcooncat | racecar56: oh, on the menus. I get it. | 18:59 |
| mchan | i have hardy installed on my desktop and i want to make changes to its partitions. can i boot it up using the livecd of another version, e.g., intrepid, and run gparted there? | 19:00 |
| weatherkid | LjL, ok have it setup to the point where Windows is picking it up and letting me login. I just won't let me write files. I'll upload my smb.conf from SWAT to Pastebin in a sec | 19:00 |
| rmmRMM | xubuntu on intrepid is sweet - thats what i'm on right now | 19:00 |
| sebsebseb | Onerice: you install one, and then you can have them all. Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu | 19:00 |
| aryah | racecar56, well I guess it can be inpractical, but I dont see it can be a big deal, just a menu | 19:00 |
| sim_kharkov | <mchan> yes, you can | 19:00 |
| Onerice | Yesyes, my question regarded which one I should install. :) | 19:00 |
| aryah | racecar56 priorities differ I guess ;) | 19:00 |
| LjL | !samba > weatherkid (weatherkid, see the private message from ubottu) have you checked this out? | 19:00 |
| racecar56 | aryah and it ignores folders which i really hate | 19:01 |
| Onerice | ignores folders? | 19:01 |
| racecar56 | Onerice yes | 19:01 |
| aryah | racecar56, Im experimenting with gimmie and deskbar+tracker right now. Liked it so far.. | 19:01 |
| uusedman | sebsebseb, got a question on wireless, after i upgraded last time. my wireless connection was not picking up no signals. maybe after the upgrade my usb wireless was not recognized | 19:02 |
| uusedman | sebsebseb, what do u think | 19:02 |
| sebsebseb | uusedman: your upgrading to what? | 19:02 |
| Onerice | racecar56: Ignores folders? Care to explain that? :) | 19:02 |
| aryah | racecar56, dont believe its polished enough yet though | 19:02 |

| racecar56 | unko been there done that | 19:04 |
| unko | this suck i lost all my pictures of my girl | 19:04 |
| uusedman | sebsebseb, yes, now i did the partial upgrade, now it is installing finished, i don't want to restart the computer, last time i had to reinstall 8.10 again to get the basic installation | 19:04 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: well help him out then? | 19:04 |
| unko | is there anyway to get my data back? | 19:04 |
| sim_kharkov | <unko> erased? maybe just clear partition table? | 19:05 |
| sebsebseb | unko: probably, as long as the data has not been overwritten | 19:05 |
| unko | yeah it hasnt yet..i think | 19:05 |
| aryah | unko I dont know there are some computer forensic tools that perhaps can do the job , but theres probably something more practical | 19:05 |
| sebsebseb | unko: still wondering about that program I used in Vista, that alloweed me to have access to deleted partitions and recover loads of data, that program was pretty awsome | 19:05 |
| unko | yeah...well this is the situation i have no extra drives....and only a ubuntu system | 19:05 |

| Threetimes | dreamy: you can use animated gifs or flash. google them | 19:06 |
| sebsebseb | uusedman: how did you get wireless working before? | 19:06 |
| racecar56 | Gaz is your monitor crap like mine | 19:06 |

| weatherkid | LjL, yes | 19:06 |
| unko | my file system was fat32 | 19:06 |

| unko | oCean_, i have no clue i think deleted | 19:06 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: how can i make flash work while im use blue fish ? | 19:06 |
| sebsebseb | unko: yes with a good program of some sort, you can recover data | 19:06 |
| uusedman | sebsebseb, simple, i just pluged the wireless USB | 19:07 |
| unko | sebsebseb, do you kno of any? | 19:07 |
| Gaz | racecar56, not really, it is a widescreen and can support higher resolutions than 1024 by 768 | 19:07 |
| Uplink | where can i get handwrite fonts? | 19:07 |
| sebsebseb | unko: the partition itself is probably still there, it's just not in the partition table anymore | 19:07 |
| lucax | any ideas how to configure flashcam resolution? | 19:07 |
| unko | it is cuz it says it's max is 230g and it's a 250g | 19:07 |
| racecar56 | Gaz mine supported nothing better than 1280x1024, but its dead now | 19:07 |
| unko | so 20g of my stuff is still there? | 19:07 |
| racecar56 | Gaz im borrowing a 22" for the meantime | 19:07 |
| Gaz | good racecar56 :D | 19:07 |

| Gaz | I have ubuntu 8.10 with nvidia drivers 173 installed and the max resolution I can select is 1024 by 768, how can I increase this resolution ? | 19:07 |
| unko | ok thanks man | 19:08 |
| DexterF | sebsebseb: dang. FF doesn't list the plugin anymore now. I manually recreated the /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree dir, cp'ed it in there, nothing, cp'ed to ~/.firefox/plugins | 19:08 |
| DexterF | ideas? | 19:08 |
| Threetimes | dreamy: that's quite complex (it doesn't matter if your'e using bluefish or not). Just wait while I google the answer for you | 19:08 |
| sebsebseb | DexterF: just get rid of that plugin from Synaptic. and the one you get from Adobe, you put in the Firefox profile itself | 19:08 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: thats very nice of you..thanks | 19:08 |

| sebsebseb | DexterF: hummm not sure, and it really sucks that Flash is used for videos on websites, I hate that shit. there is something that can replace it in HTML 5. the video tag, but IE won't supopurt that dman. Then browsers such as Firefox 3.1 have in built OGG suppourt etc. | 19:12 |

| sebsebseb | racecar56: yes what about it? | 19:15 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb it sucks | 19:16 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: that means any stuff can be made .. using the "tags" ..programing with an editor.. | 19:16 |
| scunizi | killindillin: that's the whole point behind the live cd.. you won't be able to save anything though | 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | DexterF: Gnash and Swfdec are getting there, but would be better if opensource and freesoftware camp worked together, to make a proper Flash replacement, but no | 19:16 |
| saywhat | uusedman: what do you do in recovery mode to force 800x600 resolution in normal mode? | 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | DexterF: instead of just a player | 19:16 |
| mrthraz | racecar56:really are you having the same problem | 19:16 |

| DexterF | epaphus: install sun java jre | 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | DexterF: they are both getting there, Gnash keeps on improving | 19:17 |
| mrthraz | ubs 8.10 is working for you | 19:17 |
| scunizi | killindillin: put the live cd in then boot directly to it.. don't put it in with vista/xp running or it will want to do a wubi install. | 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | DexterF: not sure about Swfdec, and I haven't tried either yet properly for various reasons | 19:17 |
| DexterF | sebsebseb: well, ok - what do they *lack*? | 19:17 |
| saywhat | uusedman: fix x server should give me a choice of default resolutions? | 19:18 |
| mrthraz | mine was working till the upgrade | 19:18 |
| DexterF | after all pretty much all I need is youtube | 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | DexterF: I guess they lack suppourt for really advanced Flash, but otherwise are fine | 19:18 |
| Stix | uusedman: that doesn't work....for some reason ubuntu took xserver to quit automatically fixing screen resolutions and graphics | 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | DexterF: yes Youtube will probably work nicely in both | 19:18 |
| killindillin | kk i just wanted to know cause i was going to use knoppix | 19:18 |
| epaphus | DexterF, none of those exist... | 19:18 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: programing in an editor making graphical stuff.. knowing the tags. that wont be quick, or eazy | 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | DexterF: yeah exactly Flash video pft. would be great if HTML 5's video tag hit off properly, but no | 19:18 |
| saywhat | stix: so using fix xserver wont work in 8.10? | 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | epaphus: what? | 19:19 |
| DexterF | sebsebseb: sounds like its worth a shot. maybe keep one browser around with adobe. | 19:19 |
| azlon | is there a program that will automatically get a list of proxies and remove them when they stop working? like Elite Proxy for windows. | 19:19 |
| Stix | saywhat: | 19:19 |
| epaphus | sebastien_, iam trying to install the jre | 19:19 |
| DexterF | epaphus: sun-java6-jre. um. what version of ubuntu? | 19:19 |
| uusedman | saywhat, fix x server will run some scripts and it wil say everything is cool | 19:19 |
| uusedman | saywhat after that boot normal | 19:19 |
| raven | how is it possible to browse through a samba file system like with the windows explorer starting from //192.168.x.x | 19:19 |
| Stix | saywhat: all it does is reconfigures keyboard and like audio | 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | DexterF: yeah not sure about having both installed Adobe and an alternative | 19:19 |
| Stix | saywhat: It won't reconfigure any graphics or anything | 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | epaphus: 32bit or 64bit? | 19:19 |
| epaphus | DexterF, got it | 19:19 |
| uusedman | sebsebseb, should i restart? | 19:19 |
| Stix | Anyone know of like a package like system-config-display for ubuntu? | 19:20 |
| Threetimes | dreamy: if you know the tags, it is faster than any grapical editor out there, and you create better (faster/easier-to-read-and-change/standards-compliant) code | 19:20 |
| sebsebseb | uusedman: you only need to re start for major stuff such as a new kernel, and if it's telling you to, well then sure | 19:20 |
| uusedman | sebsebseb how about if my wireless does not work, can i do somehtint to make sure my wirelss will work | 19:20 |
| saywhat | stix: i have run that x server thing from terminal, and all it does is ask me aobut the keyboard - no graphics | 19:20 |
| Lord-Jynx | anyone here ever seen the 8.10 or 9.04 live cd not boot if a 6600gt is installed? If I remove it and use the onboard video, it works fine. The alternate install works until it tries to boot up for the firest time. | 19:20 |
| uusedman | sebsebseb, i am restarting | 19:20 |
| Stix | saywhat: Yea im haveing the same problem u are.........Only difference is i cant get mine to even boot | 19:20 |
| sebsebseb | uusedman: nope wireless can always be a bitch with Linux, because of hardware manufactures that don't suppourt LInux properly yet or at all | 19:20 |
| uusedman | saywhat, it does not ask for anything, | 19:21 |
| saywhat | great... i can't even use this machine unless I can force it to give me a better screen resolution | 19:21 |
| racecar56 | uusedman basically its because the n00bs who design the hardware don't like/don't care about/don't know about linux | 19:21 |
| Stix | Alot of graphic issues with ubuntu it seems | 19:21 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: the noobs that design the hardware LOL | 19:21 |
| racecar56 | heehee | 19:21 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: they are probably rpetty clever at making hardware, it's just they don' want to put the extra effort in, to make sure it works nicely on Linux as well | 19:22 |
| raven | could anyone help me with navigating through a samba directory like with the windows explorer starting from //192.168.x.x - OR to easily upload a file using the command line to //192.168.x.x/dir ?? | 19:22 |
| racecar56 | and it so seems my comps that come with micro$oft windoze vista work nicely with linux | 19:22 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: is there something has .. like for ex: .. flash "tags" ? | 19:22 |
| DexterF | raven: man mount.cifs | 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: yeah this one came with VIsta, everything seems to work in Ubuntu, except sleep | 19:22 |
| Threetimes | dreamy: nope, have you read the page on the longtail site? | 19:23 |
| racecar56 | sleep works for me | 19:23 |
| Stix | raven: ur trying to upload something to a windows box | 19:23 |
| michal_ | join #oaza | 19:23 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: what ? no.. did your paste any address ? | 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: well it sort of does it, but then will never come back on again, or did it last time and I was like wtf? why is it doing it now | 19:23 |
| Threetimes | yes | 19:23 |
| night | hi @ all, does some1 knows how to search a process in ubuntu (e.g. an ftp-daemon)? | 19:23 |
| simion314 | hi, my toucpad is stuck in a corner, if i move it the pointer goes back in that corner, i t want to disable the touchpad , i generated a xorg.conf but in it i have only a mouse0 entry for my mouse and no entry for my toucpad, but my toucpad runs without it been listed in xorg.conf, any ideea ? | 19:23 |
| Stix | Does ubuntu have like paid support? | 19:23 |
| LjL | night: you mean a running process? try "ps aux | grep name" | 19:23 |
| LjL | !support > Stix (Stix, see the private message from ubottu) | 19:24 |
| night | thx | 19:24 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: let me check .. your messages u typed before :) | 19:24 |
| sebsebseb | Stix: yes, but it seems that's only for businesse's running servers | 19:24 |
| night | LjL, thx | 19:24 |
| Threetimes | dreamy: i made a typo in your name, scroll up to 20:10 :p | 19:24 |
| dreamy | ok | 19:24 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb my pc sometimes turns on again mysteriously | 19:24 |
| Stix | frown | 19:24 |
| coreyman | can i connect to ventrilo with any software for linux? | 19:24 |
| angasule | hi, I've installed ubuntu 8.10 on a computer with a realtek 8139C (or C+? not sure), when the ethernet cable is connected ubuntu tries to connect but fails (I called dhclient manually and it also failed), I tried configuring it manually but it doesn't seem to reach the network... | 19:24 |
| Stix | Seems like the might get alot of buisness if they make it for customer support | 19:24 |
| sebsebseb | coreyman: you :d | 19:24 |
| Stix | consumer appliances and such | 19:24 |
| LjL | Stix: Canonical does offer commercial support, i believe. | 19:25 |
| jodans | Good afternoon. | 19:25 |
| sebsebseb | Stix: well that's the whole point of this channel and the forums, consumer suppourt | 19:25 |
| jodans | Is thre anyone in here that may be able to help me? | 19:25 |
| epaphus | Hey guys have Ubuntu 8.10 ...the sound is playing ok but too soft... I tried putting it on the maximum in the application I use to playback... and also in the hardware its at the maximum.. what else is there to increase it? | 19:25 |
| Stix | yea it sucks though | 19:25 |
| sebsebseb | Stix: using the Ubuntu consumer community, for consumer suppourt | 19:25 |
| Switch | hello can any one help with a stylus issue | 19:25 |
| Switch | ?? | 19:25 |
| Threetimes | dreamy: read also this http://joey101.net/2006/10/whats-so-bad-about-wysiwyg-editors/ | 19:25 |
| sebsebseb | Stix: what kind of stuff do you want help with? | 19:25 |
| LjL | Stix: this is a bit offtopic really | 19:25 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: ok.. nice | 19:25 |
| Stix | reconfiguring xserver to use vesa | 19:25 |
| night | hey LjL, how can i stop a running process? | 19:26 |
| OptimusPrime | epaphus: double click on the sound icon in the tray icon area, there should be sliders | 19:26 |
| Switch | is ubuntu going to support tablet pc soon | 19:26 |
| sebsebseb | Stix: yeah damn xorg issues | 19:26 |
| Ykstort | why does ubuntu label my PATA drives as sda and sdb in /dev? | 19:26 |
| Threetimes | epaphus: double-click on the speaker icon in the top-right corner of your screen and check the sliders there | 19:26 |
| LjL | night: killall -9 processname | 19:26 |
| Stix | sebsebseb: Worst kind of issues | 19:26 |
| sebsebseb | Stix: sure and wireless | 19:26 |
| night | LjL, thx | 19:26 |
| epaphus | Threetimes, thank you... | 19:26 |
| Stix | sebsebseb: Ive ran into this issue like 6 times | 19:26 |
| epaphus | OptimusPrime, thanks | 19:26 |
| Stix | sebsebseb: Each time i reinstall:( | 19:26 |
| Threetimes | OptimusPrime: lol, you were faster but he thanks me :p | 19:26 |
| sebsebseb | Stix: yep and both issues are, because of hardware manufactures, that don't suppourt Desktop Linux yet, or hardly at all | 19:26 |
| DexterF | Ykstort: good question. this boggled my mind ever since they made that move. I think it was to simplify the device handling for ata drives, but imo it stupidified the /dev process | 19:27 |
| jodans | I've had Ubuntu 8.10 for about a week now, and visual things are not running as I know they should on this system. I've tried the suggestions on the forums, but have no idea how to know if my graphics card is running or not, and if so, is it running properly. | 19:27 |
| fabio_ | compiz not running @16 bit (white terminal) ... please help me | 19:27 |
| Stix | sebsebseb: i see....probably wireless is getting better though right? | 19:27 |
| Ykstort | DexterF, i guess it isnt really a big deal | 19:27 |
| kingsqueak | Anyone notice google calendar auth breaking if you sync with Evolution or Thunderbird/Lightning/Provider? Running 8.04 and it broke a few days ago | 19:27 |
| Ykstort | it just bugs me when i try to use /dev/hda and nothing happens | 19:27 |
| sebsebseb | Stix: I guess so, but people having wireless issues is very coomon | 19:27 |
| Ykstort | and then i remember "oh yeah ubuntu thinks i have SCSI drives" | 19:27 |
| Stix | sebsebseb: i see i see | 19:27 |
| Ykstort | "silly ubuntu" | 19:27 |
| DexterF | Ykstort: not really, but still its odd. sata, ata, usb, all the same. | 19:27 |
| sebsebseb | Stix: by the way do Microsoft provide consumer suppourt? nope, they got nearly every IT shop and that doing it for them instead | 19:28 |
| DexterF | sebsebseb: they actually do. 69 Euros per call | 19:28 |
| quiltP | hi all, I have been experiencing some issues with my graphics card (radeon HD 4850) ever since I installed ubuntu and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me sort out some of these? :) | 19:28 |
| saywhat | saywhat: anyone have ANY ideas on how I can force this ubuntu machine to give me a higher video resolution? | 19:28 |
| Threetimes | sebsebseb: They have to, what if I ordered M$ directly via their website (which i would never do, but...) | 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | DexterF: oh | 19:28 |
| mcneil90 | hi | 19:29 |
| epaphus | hey guys, how do I install flash player_ | 19:29 |
| fabio_ | somebody here running compiz @ 16 bit color depth ? | 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | Threetimes: well MS still treat consumers like a bunch of retards really. hence why XP Home hummm no proper group permissions etc. and why the server versions are quite a bit better than the desktop versions | 19:29 |
| DexterF | epaphus: 32 or 64? | 19:29 |
| mcneil90 | apt-cache search flash epaphus | 19:29 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: I fear thet your card isn't supported. My card (HD 2600XT) became supported a few monts after i bought it | 19:30 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: oh really :( | 19:30 |
| quiltP | that's unfortunate | 19:30 |
| racecar56 | :< | 19:30 |
| sebsebseb | Threetimes: plenty of ignorant consumers that follow them like a herd of sheep for various reasons. locking business's in is where the big money is for them. anyway this is off topic | 19:30 |
| Threetimes | sebsebseb: maybe windows users are retards... why don't they use ubuntu? WHY? | 19:30 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: do you run a server ? | 19:30 |
| Threetimes | dreamy: yes, I do | 19:30 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: I actually got some help from someone on tis chan a while back who helped me install some propriety drivers | 19:30 |
| racecar56 | Threetimes i give you three fives for that, i agree | 19:30 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: nice | 19:30 |
| sebsebseb | Threetimes: well Ubuntu with a bit of help can be great for average computer users, but there are three very common issues. xorg issues, wireless, and sound issues, hum | 19:31 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: which helped, but I still have a number of issues | 19:31 |
| Threetimes | lolz, three ppl talking to me at once. | 19:31 |
| magcius | !timidity | 19:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about timidity | 19:31 |

| ioudas | I have a question I am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 on a asus m2a-vm and when i install it just prompts at initramfs and im not sure whats up. I google searched it and tried to play around with bios settings and some other stuff to no avail. Anyone got any advice? | 19:32 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: what exact problems? Do you use Ubuntu 8.10 or any older version? | 19:32 |
| Whitor | Anyone know where I can get some help setting up a pcmcia 2 port serial card? | 19:32 |
| clars_ | my xsane tells me "no devices avaiable" ... but the scanner is connectet | 19:32 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: umm how can i check the version | 19:33 |
| racecar56 | 7.10 is dieing shortly right? | 19:33 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: i have actually forgotten which version i'm on | 19:33 |
| Threetimes | dreamy: why did you ask? Do you want help on setting one up your own? do you want to use mine? | 19:33 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: it's the latest long support version | 19:33 |
| mcneil90 | why i'm having this error?: The file /boot/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly | 19:34 |
| titon | hi i got a question. if u install using the alternativ cd and chose a full encryption using the whole disc by using automatic partioining using the fulldisk....does that give me an encrypted swap as well? | 19:34 |
| mcneil90 | i'm trying to set up gfxboot | 19:34 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: just asking for no big reason in particular .. i got my set .. nightrid3r helped me .. | 19:34 |
| dreamy | "i got mine set " | 19:34 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: good! I use a later version, and I cant do what you van. | 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: yep | 19:35 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: mine is just not indexed in google yet.. | 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | titon: encrypted swap heh. do you even know what that is? | 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | titon: your data does not go on swap | 19:35 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: go System > Administration > Screens and Graphics | 19:35 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: nightrid3r told me it whould take 3 weeks after indexing | 19:35 |
| shiny_people | how do I respond to a message on my facebook wall? | 19:36 |
| nightrid3r | up to 3 weeks | 19:36 |
| shiny_people | theres no respond button | 19:36 |

| dreamy | Threetimes: ok | 19:37 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: i don't seem to have a "screens and graphics" option | 19:37 |

| matt | Any suggestions for backup | 19:37 |
| === matt is now known as Stix | ||
| dreamy | Threetimes: .. just wondering what are you broadcastig ? .. i wonder if i could ask that .. | 19:37 |
| sebsebseb | !backup | 19:37 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 19:37 |
| sebsebseb | !sbackup | 19:38 |
| ubottu | sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe | 19:38 |
| titon | sebsebseb yes what ever doesnt fit in ur memory will go in ur swap.....and when u hibernate | 19:38 |
| sebsebseb | !cloning | 19:38 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 19:38 |
| titon | and i dont want aything to be found.... | 19:38 |
| sebsebseb | titon: yeah something like that, but encrypted swap hum | 19:38 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: you are probably using 8.10 anyway... Now things are getting more complex. That's short for: I don't know how to help you any further... | 19:38 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: :) no problem | 19:38 |
| titon | i think it is encrypted but not sure | 19:38 |
| sebsebseb | titon: well the alternate CD is meant to be able to do whole hard disk encryption, so I guess that will include the swap | 19:38 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: thanks for the help anyway | 19:38 |
| Threetimes | dreamy: I'm hosting multiple websites for myself, friends, family, and all of my personal mail is going thoroug it. | 19:39 |
| titon | but if it shows up on /dev/mapper i guess it mst be | 19:39 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: i'll try and throw the question out there again and see if i get any takers | 19:39 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: okey..cool stuff | 19:39 |
| titon | but its encrypted with same key and thats fine...i know u can just have it randomly encryptd each time u boot | 19:39 |
| rhett | does anyone know how I can bootstrap an existing centos box to intrepid? | 19:39 |
| titon | messes up the hibernate thingy so havng same key for swap works | 19:39 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: try posting it on the forums. There are a lot of people who know more about grapics-in-ubuntu that I do | 19:40 |
| ioudas | I have a question I am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 on a asus m2a-vm and when i install it just prompts at initramfs and im not sure whats up. I google searched it and tried to play around with bios settings and some other stuff to no avail. Anyone got any advice? | 19:40 |
| titon | <sebsebseb> titon: your data does not go on swap........ hmm seb can i ask if u know what a swap is :P | 19:40 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: ok will do thanks again | 19:40 |
| titon | hehehe thf for help though....had to be a lill smart ass back | 19:40 |
| Threetimes | dreamy: oh..,I run ssh too | 19:40 |
| Stix | !swap | 19:40 |
| 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 | 19:40 |
| sebsebseb | !swap | titon | 19:40 |
| ubottu | titon: please see above | 19:40 |
| Threetimes | very important for me :p | 19:40 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: nice | 19:40 |
| === chris_ is now known as chrisrio | ||
| titon | It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. of so my data do go in the swap then :D | 19:41 |
| Stix | It's basically a file on your hardrive that acts as memory.....normally used if u run out of memory | 19:41 |
| JeroenTB | ioudas: it seems it can't mount root | 19:41 |
| titon | i know i know just bugging sebsebseb | 19:41 |
| JeroenTB | ioudas: which means grub has not been installed right | 19:42 |
| sebsebseb | titon: swap is mainly for people with shitty amount of RAM :D I guess, but I ran quite nicely with no swap on 1GB so :d | 19:42 |
| ioudas | yeah i was just putting the cd in... | 19:42 |
| ioudas | nothing else it has windows xp installed on it | 19:42 |

| unop | racecar56, dd isn't a particularly efficient way to backup a partition - as it includes freespace in the resulting image. | 19:43 |
| JeroenTB | ok, well just do dd if=backup.bin of=/dev/<home partition> while /home is not mounted, so in single user mode | 19:44 |
| paul_fox | does anybody knows good tutorial on irc command for me | 19:44 |

| Lord-Jynx | anyone here ever seen the 8.10 or 9.04 live cd not boot if a 6600gt is installed? If I remove it and use the onboard video, it works fine. The alternate install works until it tries to boot up for the firest time. | 19:47 |
| ioudas | my 8.10 wont boot either :-) | 19:47 |

| Lord-Jynx | scunizi it's a dell optiplex 755. I've tried Auto, and onboard/add-on... doesn't seem to matter | 19:48 |
| sebsebseb | UnderTaker: ok will probably work then | 19:49 |
| UnderTaker | Thanks | 19:49 |

| scunizi | Lord-Jynx: and was the monitor hooked with vga connector or dvi? | 19:49 |
| rhett | does anyone know how to turn a centos box into an ubuntu box without optical media? | 19:49 |
| sebsebseb | quiltP: what kind of issues? | 19:50 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi dvi-->vga adapter | 19:50 |
| sebsebseb | rhett: you can't chagne one distro into another | 19:50 |
| Lord-Jynx | the card is dual-head | 19:50 |
| Threetimes | UnderTaker: I'm running a server on a p3 600 with 265MB rab, and I've had a grapical install on that system too. No problems at all. | 19:50 |
| jussi01 | !usb | rhett | 19:50 |
| ubottu | rhett: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 19:50 |
| quiltP | sebsebseb: hi, i can't play any video files | 19:50 |
| scunizi | Lord-Jynx: card is dual but the monitor is vga? | 19:50 |
| rhett | sebsebseb, i believe you are wrong | 19:50 |
| quiltP | sebsebseb: well they play but are extremely jerky | 19:50 |
| sebsebseb | quiltP: graphics card driver installed? | 19:51 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi correct... my monitors are only vga capable | 19:51 |
| sebsebseb | rhett: CentOS can't be turned into Ubuntu | 19:51 |
| rhett | sebsebseb, then how does this build script work: http://alestic.com/ | 19:51 |
| scunizi | Lord-Jynx: plural.. did you have both monitors hooked up ? | 19:51 |
| Lord-Jynx | card is dvi.. but, I used dvi-->vga conversion | 19:51 |
| rhett | it says you can start with fedora, and it turns into ubuntu | 19:51 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi I did yes... should I just use one? | 19:51 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: press ALT-F2 and type gstreamer-properties. go to the 2nd tab. | 19:51 |
| quiltP | sebsebseb: i think it is a propriety driver | 19:51 |
| sebsebseb | rhett: well i'll look at that, but it makes more sense to just do a nice clean install of Ubuntu | 19:52 |
| mattgyver83 | Ive converted some video from .flv to mp3 using ffmpeg, on the pc they play fine, when i put them on my mp3 player its hit or miss, some files play some dont. Any Ideas? | 19:52 |
| Threetimes | what's listet at Plugin: ? | 19:52 |
| scunizi | Lord-Jynx: yes.. that was most likely your issue.. there's a problem discovering and using monitors when there are two hooked to one card.. I would start with the vga to vga monitor | 19:52 |
| Threetimes | Xv ot no Xv? | 19:52 |
| f_newton | rhett, how does fedora turn in to ubuntu? | 19:52 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: video for linux 2 (v4l2) | 19:52 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: whats a long tail side . then? | 19:52 |
| rhett | f_newton, it's in the script somewhere, that's what I want to know | 19:52 |
| scunizi | Lord-Jynx: after installing it's pretty easy to get both monitors working. | 19:52 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: long tail site | 19:53 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi so, take out my add-on card? | 19:53 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: plugin is "Autodetect" | 19:53 |
| simion314 | hi, i removed the synaptics driver and the toucpad is still working | 19:53 |
| Lord-Jynx | .:[scunizi]:. problem is, to use it, I have to plug it back in then it crashes | 19:53 |
| f_newton | rhett, fedora, rhel, and centos are all rpm based distros as is mandriva.... ubuntu is a debian "type" distro that uses dpkg | 19:53 |
| doleyb | simion314: Supposedly, the driver is just so you can access the touchpad's config settings. | 19:53 |
| rhett | i understand this f_newton | 19:53 |
| Petein | ulimit -d 400; myprogram.out => does this command give to my program 400MB available RAM to execute? Is this the correct command to change the programs heap size? | 19:53 |
| scunizi | Lord-Jynx: not necessarily.. just have one monitor plugged in to the 6600 on the vga side. | 19:53 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: try putting it on Xv and no Xv, just test both and tell me the results | 19:54 |
| rhett | f_newton, but they all use the same kernel, so it is of course possible | 19:54 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi ok. But, even though I'm using dvi-->vga? | 19:54 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: ok will do, will get back to you now | 19:54 |
| f_newton | well then you should understand how silly that statement was | 19:54 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi all the card has is dvi out... I'm just using dvi-->vga converters | 19:54 |
| f_newton | no they dont use the same kernel | 19:54 |
| scunizi | Lord-Jynx: you have two dvi's on the 6600? | 19:54 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi correct.. it's a dual-head | 19:54 |
| f_newton | ubuntu has its own as does fedora | 19:54 |
| Lord-Jynx | my monitors are vga | 19:54 |
| Pici | !who | 19:55 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 19:55 |
| Threetimes | dreamy: longtail video is a flash video player, like you have on youtube. I have used it on one of my own sites... Read their website for more info | 19:55 |
| linkmaster03 | how do i log into another user account from a current user's shell? | 19:55 |
| jatt | linkmaster03: su | 19:55 |
| Pici | linkmaster03: su newusername | 19:55 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: okey | 19:55 |
| scunizi | Lord-Jynx: didn't realize .. I have a 6600 agp dual head and it's dvi and vga.. so yea.. use the converter | 19:55 |
| Threetimes | !tab | 19:55 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 19:55 |
| jatt | !su | 19:55 |
| 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) | 19:55 |
| simion314 | ddeyb: how can i disable the touchpad? it makes my mouse go in the uper right corner | 19:55 |
| JeroenTB | linkmaster: use the su command | 19:55 |
| linkmaster03 | jatt: Pici: thanks | 19:55 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi hmm... any particular interface I should start with? | 19:55 |
| JeroenTB | linkmaster: su - <username> | 19:55 |
| scunizi | Lord-Jynx: not sure I'm following? | 19:55 |
| sim_kharkov | <Lord-Jynx> dvi->vga didnt convert... just change a jack | 19:56 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi any particular output I should use? dvi-1, dvi-2? | 19:56 |
| === root is now known as Guest30423 | ||
| axisys | how do I make the interfaces names as public and private instead of eth0 and eth1 ? | 19:56 |
| Lord-Jynx | sim_kharkov ?? | 19:56 |
| scunizi | Lord-Jynx: if you mean which output on the card, if you can tell then the "0" or first output might be preferrable. | 19:56 |
| dreamy | Threetimes: im not expecting a feed back to know when my page has been indexed.. they wont to that at google? .. to be shure it has been succedfully indexed | 19:56 |
| f_newton | rhett, you have been misled. They are based on a vanilla linux kernel but each distro tailors that kernel to fit its own specialties.... both fedora and Ubuntu use the 2.6.27 kernel base but thats where it ends. | 19:57 |
| JeroenTB | axisys: i don't think you can rename ethernet devices | 19:57 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: the noXv setting gives a perfect test pattern | 19:57 |
| rhett | ok , i forgot about that f_newton | 19:57 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: but doesn't seem to help playing actual video files | 19:57 |
| sim_kharkov | your first dvi has additional contacts | 19:57 |
| Threetimes | dreamy: no, they do not even know you email-address | 19:58 |
| Diego_BR | axisys: see udev manual. | 19:58 |
| axisys | Diego_BR: k | 19:58 |
| dreamy | yes.. ok | 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | rhett: Amazon something or the other | 19:58 |
| f_newton | rhett, iirc Fedora uses a completely unique core file naming convention | 19:58 |
| sim_kharkov | <Lord-Jynx> your first dvi has additional contacts | 19:58 |
| raven | i need to open an executable file (from http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=245788&sel_platform=12062) but i do not really understand, how this will work... | 19:58 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: I think that it can't use your GPU for rendering the video because of crapy drivers (blaim ATI) | 19:58 |
| JeroenTB | Diego_BR: ethernet devices don't have device nodes as other devices have... | 19:58 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi ok, so, no VGA hooked up on my onboard vga and adapter 0 (or whatever first one is called) on my 6600gt? | 19:58 |
| Lord-Jynx | sim_kharkov my card is a 6600gt | 19:58 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: I meant: blame ATi | 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | !tar | raven | 19:59 |
| ubottu | raven: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 19:59 |
| f_newton | rhett, with any distribution I know of other then rhel or centos.... possibly bsd being another exception a clean install is always best | 19:59 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: balls...and there are no linux drivers for my card at the moment ? | 19:59 |
| LandonG | Hey all, I have a quick question. I was having problems with my wired internet, and we got it working for a bit using sudo dhclient eth0, but when I disconnected and tried to use wireless, it didn't work. Then when I tried to connect my wired back up, now that's stopped working. Now when I run sudo dhclient eth0, it just runs and doens't find anything saying "DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5, then | 19:59 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi I should say, hook up the adapter 0 to my monitor | 19:59 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: next card i'm gonna buy is probably a nvidia | 19:59 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: are they better supported in linux? | 19:59 |
| sim_kharkov | <Lord-Jynx> look for four contacts and \ beetween and plug converter to | 19:59 |
| LandonG | Then says no working leases in persistent database- sleeping | 19:59 |
| raven | sebsebseb no... i mean the file jackctlmmc out of the file. it is declared as application/executable | 20:00 |
| Lord-Jynx | sim_kharkov yeah, I'm not having an issue plugging in my adapters :)... if that's what you're meaning? | 20:00 |
| Yuretsz1 | Hi. Does anybody know if there any cli tool to add attachments to pdf file? | 20:00 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: the only driver for modern ATi cards, like you's and mine, is their own driver. The specifications of the hardware itself isn't open. | 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | raven: ok extract it some wehre, right click on it, go to permissions and tick for execute | 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | raven: I assume it's a .sh | 20:00 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: their own driver has the problem that thet aren't working on it hard enough. | 20:00 |
| f_newton | I am using a rather old ati card and the ubuntu supplied driver works great .... much better then the ati proprietary driver | 20:01 |
| raven | no | 20:01 |
| raven | it isn't | 20:01 |
| Petein | how can i see how much ram takes each program? | 20:01 |
| raven | sebsebseb Programm (application/x-executable) | 20:01 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: but it's better than some of my experiences with their windows driver :p | 20:01 |
| raven | petein systemmonitor | 20:01 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: really :) oh well we wait in hope i guess | 20:01 |
| sebsebseb | raven: ok whatever and I am not downloading it | 20:01 |
| Diego_BR | JeroenTB: in /etc/udev/rules.d$ cat 70-persistent-net.rules you can do it. | 20:02 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi I should mention that the live cd never displays the splash screen either... dumps to a terminal type window and halts | 20:02 |
| Lord-Jynx | scunizi it stops here: squashfs: version 3.3 (2007/10/31) Phillip Lougher | 20:02 |
| Diego_BR | JeroenTB: Using the mac. | 20:02 |
| raven | sebsebseb its a tool for the jacksound server - no virus ;) | 20:02 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: i think i should maybe try the latest proprietary drivers as i think i have an old version installed | 20:02 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: ah ha you can't boot up the Live CD properly, how much RAM? | 20:02 |
| Lord-Jynx | but, I'll try removing all vga hookups except 0 and trying it again | 20:02 |
| Lord-Jynx | sebaseb 2gb | 20:02 |
| Lord-Jynx | 8.04 worked perfect | 20:02 |
| Lord-Jynx | 8.10/9.04 no go | 20:03 |
| Lord-Jynx | alternative works fine, but then hangs on first boot | 20:03 |
| f_newton | is 9.04 released? | 20:03 |
| JeroenTB | Diego_BR: Looks like it does indeed, neat ;) | 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: oh well not that much difference between 8.04 and 8.10 | 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | !jaunty | 20:03 |
| ubottu | Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009, Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 20:03 |
| SEVILLA | f_newton: next month | 20:03 |
| f_newton | thanks | 20:03 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: what's worse: 1280*1024 on a 1400*900 screen (linux) or multiple BSOD's a day (windows). that was the situation in january 2008. Things have improved on both sides, but they aren't finished yet... | 20:03 |
| Lord-Jynx | sebsebseb - yeah, that's what I don't get | 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: altough 8.10 has a completly differnet version of Xorg than what 8.04 has | 20:04 |
| Lord-Jynx | hrmm | 20:04 |
| Lord-Jynx | which, means that 9.04 probably uses the 8.10 one | 20:04 |
| SEVILLA | l | 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: yep or one that is slightly later | 20:04 |
| Lord-Jynx | any ideas why it just stops with my addon card? | 20:05 |
| Lord-Jynx | the splash screen doesn't even appear | 20:05 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: do you have the latest driver installed (or more specifically do you know how to install it?) | 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: I missed most of your stuff. add on card????/ | 20:05 |
| SEVILLA | f_newton: 9.04 means 04/09 | 20:05 |
| Lord-Jynx | I can boot into recovery mode, then into ubuntu | 20:05 |
| Lord-Jynx | sebsebseb - yeah, 660gt | 20:05 |
| Lord-Jynx | err, 6600gt | 20:05 |
| echogen_ | how can i resume a broken apt-get download ? | 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: well not all graphics cards are going to work with xorg, because no suppourt for them in Xorg, because of hardware manufactures | 20:06 |
| ioudas | http://pastebin.com/m3a8773f6 | 20:06 |
| geoaxis | i hope for the coming release Ubuntu does some thing about bad performance of firefox | 20:06 |
| Lord-Jynx | yeah, worked in 8.04 ... lol | 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: is that an old card? | 20:06 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: just wait a second... I'll upload the .deb's to my own server | 20:06 |
| Lord-Jynx | fairly old yeah | 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: Nividia? | 20:06 |
| Lord-Jynx | yeap | 20:06 |
| simion314 | it is imposible to turn off the synaptics toucpad forever? is there a module that can be blacklisted? i do not see a synaptics module | 20:07 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: great thanks so much for all the help | 20:07 |
| Diego_BR | echogen_: download again. | 20:07 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: ok yeah that versin of Xorg lacks suppourt for really old cards | 20:07 |
| geoaxis | current version of firefox is really crappy on my system | 20:07 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: this for me is the best part of linux :D | 20:07 |
| Diego_BR | echogen_: apt-get install pack | 20:07 |
| adamb | if I wanted to rsync files with extensions *.jpg *.gif how can I do that in one line? | 20:07 |
| sdf2 | hi | 20:07 |
| sebsebseb | geoaxis: yep it's pretty crappy on mine as well, that unoffical Ubuntu version of Firefox | 20:07 |
| sdf2 | anyboy can tell me what to do if pulseaudio wont start? | 20:07 |
| sdf2 | i can't start padevchooser | 20:07 |
| Lord-Jynx | sebsebseb that why the live cd and live boot die? | 20:08 |
| fghjk | ou i | 20:08 |
| Lord-Jynx | sebsebseb - I even have the nvidia driver set installed | 20:08 |
| echogen_ | i mean i am installing kde via apt-get ... some packages got a broken download... if i re-issue the command, would it resume or start over ? | 20:08 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: try to call the M$ helpdesk and... well... you better don't call them anyway... | 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: yep it's probably to do with the card, why you got problems | 20:08 |
| geoaxis | sebsebseb: i am not running any thing out of the repository ... | 20:08 |
| Lord-Jynx | sebsebseb - any ideas besides a new card? | 20:08 |
| sdf2 | what to do if pulseaudio device chooser wont start? | 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: not really, and Xorg is a bitch to configure | 20:09 |
| Diego_BR | start over. | 20:09 |
| john3 | sdf2, what error do you get | 20:09 |
| john3 | ? | 20:09 |
| Lord-Jynx | figures | 20:09 |
| Lord-Jynx | haha | 20:09 |
| khaal | hi, how can i make sure if i'm using 32bit or 64bit linux, except by uname -r ? | 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: in fact I think the version in 8.10 of Xorg, has been made in a way, that loads of old configuring stuff, will no longer work | 20:09 |
| sdf2 | john3: no errors | 20:09 |
| yao_ziyuan | update-notifier outputs: sh: /usr/share/apt-file/is-cache-empty: not found | 20:09 |
| sdf2 | john3: it stimply starts loading and then nothing happens | 20:09 |
| yao_ziyuan | does it mean i should install apt-file? | 20:09 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: http://peter-server.homelinux.net/fxglrx/ | 20:09 |
| ned_ | السلام عليكم | 20:10 |
| Lord-Jynx | sebsebseb update from 8.04 to 8.10 is what started all this crap | 20:10 |
| john3 | if you type padevchooser in the terminal, what is displayed there? | 20:10 |
| Lord-Jynx | does recovery mode bypass parts of xorg? | 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: go back to 8.04? | 20:10 |
| Lord-Jynx | lol | 20:10 |
| Lord-Jynx | I really want 9.04 | 20:10 |
| sdf2 | john3: pulseaudio -D | 20:10 |
| sdf2 | W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader. | 20:10 |
| sdf2 | E: main.c: daemon startup failed. | 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: that's in development | 20:10 |
| Lord-Jynx | sebsebseb yeah, I know | 20:10 |
| ned_ | هل من متحدث بالعربية | 20:10 |
| Threetimes | download them all, and install them all. If it complains about depencies, try a different order. I don't know what order I used. | 20:10 |
| khaal | ned_: I speak a little arabic | 20:10 |
| geoaxis | وعلیکم اؒلسلام: ned_ | 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: you could have 8.04 and run 9.04 in a virtual machine, and everything will just work then I guess :d since for anything it has a problem with, it will use the host | 20:11 |
| Lord-Jynx | lol | 20:11 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: ok a real noob question...when you say install them all.. | 20:11 |
| khaal | anyone knows how to find out if you're using 32bit or 64bit linux... besides by uname -r ? | 20:11 |
| Lord-Jynx | I'm more inclined to think it's this damn optiplex 755 | 20:11 |
| ioudas | My question and out put http://pastebin.com/m3a8773f6 | 20:11 |
| joaopinto | khaal, i'ts uname -m | 20:11 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: well you can configure xorg or try to and things like that, but it's not much fun | 20:11 |
| joaopinto | it's | 20:12 |
| sdf2 | john3: any clue? | 20:12 |
| Rohff | SALAM ALIKOUM | 20:12 |
| geoaxis | khall : yes, make a C program which prints sizeof(int) | 20:12 |
| Lord-Jynx | sebsebseb - I successfuly install the nvidia drivers in the recovery mode... but, crashes at the same point on boot up | 20:12 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: Are you using a 32 or 64 bits linux? press ALT-F2 and type this: uname -m | zenity --text-info | 20:12 |
| john3 | sdf2, anything in /var/log/syslog? ie. grep pulse /var/log/syslog | 20:13 |
| Lord-Jynx | what's the command to rebuild the xorg.conf file? | 20:13 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: 32 i believe | 20:13 |
| Threetimes | if it says something like i686 it's ok | 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: yeah your issues, because most/all hardware manufactures, won't suppourt Linux properly yet | 20:13 |
| f_newton | SEVILLA, oh... duh | 20:13 |
| khaal | geoaxis: ugh, i dont think i even have my system set up for compilation :-) no other, easy way? | 20:13 |
| khaal | nevermind, Threetimes answered my question accidently hehe :-) | 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: the command not sure | 20:14 |
| maxxle | Hello, can somebody tell me where i can find a usable manpage for that buggy NetworkManager? | 20:14 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: download them all to a new folder, and double-click on them | 20:14 |
| Lord-Jynx | k | 20:14 |
| sdf2 | john3: yes | 20:14 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: that command you gave didn't seem to do anything | 20:14 |
| Lord-Jynx | sebsebseb thanks for help | 20:14 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: did i type it correctly... "uname -m | zenity -- text- info" | 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | Lord-Jynx: yeah stick around and someone can probably help you more properly with xorg | 20:14 |
| Threetimes | o | 20:14 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: sure? | 20:15 |
| khaal | Threetimes: I just tried it and it didnt work, it worked in the terminal though... | 20:15 |
| r00tintheb0x | torrentflux is the bomb. | 20:16 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: try typing gnome-terminal, you'll see a scary window where you can input any command you like. Ever used DOS? :p | 20:16 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: haha a little bit back in the day | 20:16 |
| Lord-Jynx | .:[sebsebseb]:. I might have to try the live cd again when I get home... I had to go back to *GULP* xp since I couldn't get it to work :) | 20:16 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: i have a terminal open | 20:16 |
| khaal | quiltP: he's exaggerating, that black thing is more pretty than scary ;-) | 20:17 |

| Lord-Jynx | brinstar no clue what made it crash | 20:20 |
| Lord-Jynx | lol | 20:20 |
| Lord-Jynx | khaal - not sure what those are :) | 20:20 |
| Brinstar | Lord-Jynx: like u said, it was probably the apps | 20:20 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: lolz. Do you speak dutch? or "afrikaans"? | 20:21 |
| khaal | Lord-Jynx: oh, its avant window manager and the gnomish amarok wannabee | 20:21 |

| quiltP | Threetimes: ek praat a bietjie afrikaans | 20:21 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: afrikaans souns quite funny for dutch people :p | 20:21 |
| Brinstar | alpha 6 has been rock solid for me so far, only the sound is a bit flaky | 20:21 |
| terenzz | !addon | 20:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about addon | 20:21 |
| Brinstar | that i can live with | 20:21 |
| sebsebseb | khaal: Gnomeish Amarok wannabee?????? | 20:21 |
| Lord-Jynx | haah.. I'm linux stupid :) | 20:21 |
| khaal | sebsebseb: indeed? | 20:21 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: haha i can imagine, i've been there once and didn't understand too much...are you dutch? | 20:21 |
| Lord-Jynx | khaal ^ | 20:21 |
| sebsebseb | khaal: which package are you reffering to? | 20:22 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: in dutch you'd say "ik spreek een beetje afrikaans)", and yes, i'm dutch | 20:22 |
| martyw | my laptop running kubuntu won't recognize my sd card | 20:22 |
| khaal | sebsebseb: it's the only thing that managed to convert me away from amarok for me anyway :-) exaile ofcourse | 20:22 |
| mike_1979 | hello | 20:22 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: cool! i loved amsterdam :) spent a week there. what an amazing city | 20:22 |
| mike_1979 | exit | 20:22 |
| martyw | there are two card readers built into the laptop. one is for storage expansion, the other is just a card reader. | 20:22 |
| sebsebseb | khaal: ok not used that, I use Banshee :) | 20:22 |
| martyw | I put the card into the computer, and nothing happens. | 20:23 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: a quick question - is there a shortcut in ubuntu to show the desktop? | 20:23 |
| martyw | it doesn't show up as an available device that's been attached like my digicam, ipod, palm pilot, etc all do | 20:23 |
| khaal | sebsebseb: that one like to hog up my cpu and gets stuck on fetching album cover loop! | 20:23 |
| Threetimes | I don't like Amsterdam, or big old cities in general. I live in Almere. The part where I live is built after I was born :p | 20:23 |
| mun | hi | 20:23 |
| gldtn | hatter243, I got a broadcom rev 3.. It seems that from hardy on it installs the new driver that works with rev 4 and up.. so I need to remove the new driver and install the old bcm4306-fwcutter.. Can I find this on the installation disk or will I need to get like a .deb file and use it? | 20:24 |
| perillux | How can I dissable the splash screen to show text on start up? and could someone tell me how to get a text based login screen instead of a graphical one? | 20:24 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: wow that's crazy, it must be an extremely modern city | 20:24 |
| mun | i have hardy installed but i can't boot it using the livecd. it seems to get stuck at the splash screen (the brown background). could someone please help? | 20:24 |
| doleyb | perillux: Well, easy way is to remove gdm packages | 20:24 |
| khaal | perillux: are you speaking of usplash, the big ubuntu logo at boot? | 20:24 |
| perillux | khaal: ya, how can I get rid of that so it will show text while it's loading | 20:25 |
| blipp | gldtn: find the fwcutter package in synaptic, and see if you can force the older version from there... | 20:25 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: ok those files are downloaded, any special order i should install them in? | 20:25 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: that's just what i like about it, 12mbit cable internet. glass fiber in less than a year. | 20:25 |
| khaal | perillux: thats an easy one | 20:25 |
| Steve^ | Why is "libgd-perl" in aptitude? It is omitted from Synaptic and cannot be installed.. so what is its purpose? | 20:25 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: just try any order. I guess I installed the alfabetically. | 20:25 |
| khaal | perillux: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the "quiet" switch | 20:25 |
| khaal | perillux: you can also remove the "splash" switch to get only text without any fancy graphics | 20:26 |
| dougl | what does it mean when you do a ls and your filename appears in red? | 20:26 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: If you get an error, save that package for the end and try again. | 20:26 |
| === J_- is now known as J-_ | ||
| khaal | perillux: just make sure to take a backup and to only edit the correct entry - or you wont be able to boot | 20:26 |

| === crunchbang is now known as Jrsquee | ||
| Threetimes | dougl: that means it is compressed/archived | 20:27 |
| IHalak | Yeddee | 20:27 |
| dougl | Threetimes, thanks :) | 20:27 |
| Jrsquee | Can someone spare a moment? I've managed to break GRUB, and I need some help | 20:27 |
| Threetimes | dougl: probably zip/gzip/tar/bzip/deb files | 20:27 |
| dougl | Threetimes, and rar :) | 20:27 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: holy crap! awesome the first file i installed got my sound card to work!! :) | 20:28 |
| hatter243 | !grub | Jrsquee | 20:28 |
| ubottu | Jrsquee: 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 | 20:28 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: that was another issue i was going to tackle for another day but it sounds good to me now :) | 20:28 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: are you using your hdmi output or something as sound card? | 20:28 |
| gabbah | Hey guys! I'm dropping a new theme into the appearance dialog as you should, and it says "new theme has been installed", but then nothing happens. No new theme is added, only the ones that were already there are visible and can be selected. If I try to add it again, it says it cannot overwrite the folder (so I guess it's there somehow, but not showing up). | 20:28 |
| hatter243 | gabbah, have you tried customizing one of the themes that already exist? | 20:29 |
| Threetimes | dougl: I don;t know if bash recognises rar, it is an closed and unpopular fomat on linux. You're prebably an ex-windows user :p I user winrar until i discovered 7-zip :p | 20:29 |
| n8tuser | gabbah -> dont know, try to log off and log on, or maybe restart gdm | 20:29 |
| martyw | please check my error: http://pastebin.ca/1362596 | 20:29 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: no a usb port actually, it's a two channel external sound card | 20:29 |
| merquis | 7-zip for the win :D | 20:29 |
| gabbah | hatter243: why should i do that? i want to add a new one. but yes, i can customise current themes.. | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | merquis: in Windows yeah, but in Ubuntu hum | 20:30 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: is it something from ATi/AMD? | 20:30 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: and which one did you install first? | 20:30 |
| Brinstar | sebsebseb: p7zips ok | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | Brinstar: yeah, but it's a bit crappy that 7-zip is only on the command line in Linux | 20:30 |
| GuuZ | good evening | 20:31 |
| bcog | can anyone help install a library called lapack? | 20:31 |
| gabbah | hatter243: if i customise, i can see the added themes are there... but then I'd had to select that themes buttons, then that themes window borders.. and so on. I'm not even sure i can select everything there that the new theme consists of | 20:31 |
| Threetimes | sebsebseb: that's one of the reasons i don't use it anymore. | 20:31 |
| Flare183 | Brinstar: Not true, you can use Archive Manager/File Roller with p7zip | 20:31 |
| bcog | when i try to compile, i get this error: error while loading shared libraries: liblapack.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 20:31 |
| sebsebseb | altough apparnatlly GUI is for noobs :d and we should all use the command line loads, but whatever to that one :d | 20:31 |
| rhousand | I have a issue with my sound. It just stops working at random times if i restart my system it works fine. any ideas. also, is there a way to restart the sound software? | 20:31 |
| bcog | but i can't seem to find how to get liblapack.so.3 | 20:31 |
| GuuZ | Is there an application that checks your system log for known errors? something that analises the system log | 20:32 |
| mattfred_ | is there a way too keep the terminal window open if you run an application in terminal using the custom application launcher? I'm using a sudo command and the program it calls also requires a password and the window closes after I enter the passwords, but I'd like to see the output (sorry I got disconnected earlier if someone answered this question) | 20:32 |
| Brinstar | sebsebseb: there is a gui for 7zip | 20:32 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: it's an alesis io2 (not sure if it is affiliated with either ATI or AMD) and not sure which package i installed first | 20:32 |
| sebsebseb | heh that guy comes in leaves that message, he tried to troll with it? and then he leaves so so soon after, so he misses the whole discussion on it | 20:32 |
| sebsebseb | Brinstar: not for Linux | 20:32 |
| hatter243 | gabbah, it might not have installed as a complete "theme" customize one of the ones that exist, under each of the tabs select the controls and window border from the theme you installed | 20:32 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: the last two files both seem to have missing dependencies | 20:32 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: more specifically libxi6 | 20:33 |
| === Niamor7 is now known as Niamor | ||
| Threetimes | bcog: Don't try to compile anything: you dont have to!! go to system > administration > synaptic and search for lapack. | 20:33 |
| uusedman | sebsebseb, it worked! | 20:33 |
| sebsebseb | uusedman: remind me what worked | 20:33 |
| bcog | Threetimes, i did and i installed the libraries through the repositories, but i get that compile error when i am running my program | 20:33 |
| trollboy | is there an easy way to reset the sound daemon | 20:33 |
| bcog | not running their program, running my program that i created | 20:33 |
| uusedman | sebsebseb, i was scared that wireless usb wont work after upgrade | 20:33 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: i think the file i installed first was the fglrx-kernel-source_8.573-0ubuntu1_i386 | 20:33 |
| trollboy | I was watching a video, then I got a beep from my email and its been stuck with a rapid purr ever since | 20:33 |
| uusedman | sebsebseb, i also uninstall gnash swfdec | 20:34 |
| mattfred_ | is there a way too keep the terminal window open if you run an application in terminal using the custom application launcher? I'm using a sudo command and the program it calls also requires a password and the window closes after I enter the passwords, but I'd like to see the output (sorry I got disconnected earlier if someone answered this question) | 20:34 |
| uusedman | sebsebseb, thanks bro | 20:34 |
| sebsebseb | uusedman: ok | 20:34 |
| Brinstar | sebsebseb: i just opened a 7z file in file roller | 20:34 |
| Flare183 | !repeat | mattfred_ | 20:34 |
| ubottu | mattfred_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 20:34 |
| Threetimes | bcog: also install the lapack-dev or liblapack-dev in you want to compile. | 20:34 |
| sebsebseb | Brinstar: well yeah you can open them up in those programs, but there is no acstaul 7zip GUI for Linux | 20:34 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: oh bleak it appears as though my sound still has issues | 20:34 |
| Brinstar | sebsebseb: just to check i wasnt going mad and that i had done it before :P | 20:34 |
| Brinstar | oh ok | 20:34 |
| `GuillaumeAW | woaw that is amazing :) | 20:34 |
| Brinstar | thats no big deal | 20:35 |
| perillux | how can I get a text based login screen instead of the graphical one? | 20:35 |
| `GuillaumeAW | that network rule :D :) | 20:35 |
| n8tuser | perillux -> ctrl+alt+f1 | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | Brinstar: well the Windows 7zip GUI is pretty nice really. | 20:35 |
| Brinstar | as long as the archiving works, who cares about the dum GUI | 20:35 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: install libix through synaptig, read my message to bcog | 20:35 |
| perillux | n8tuser: at startup | 20:35 |
| Brinstar | sebsebseb: it is nice but the file roller one is also ok | 20:35 |
| n8tuser | perillux -> same, instead of logging on via gui, do what i suggested | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | Brinstar: I think I even done 7zip Windows version in Wine before, and that worked quite well | 20:35 |
| oshua86 | Hey guys, is there any way/program to copy protected DVDs? | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | Brinstar: winrar in windows yuck. 7zip :) plus the major advantage of it being open source | 20:36 |
| Flare183 | Brinstar: Use File Roller it works with p7zip | 20:36 |
| perillux | n8tuser: I know it's possible though to not have to press anything, theres a way to have a text login automatically | 20:36 |
| Brinstar | Flare183: i do | 20:36 |
| Flare183 | Brinstar: Then just install p7zip-full | 20:36 |
| Brinstar | and yeah it works for me, does the job | 20:36 |
| perillux | How can I replace the graphical login screen (at startup) with a text based one ? | 20:36 |
| Brinstar | Flare183: i have | 20:36 |
| Flare183 | Brinstar: Then it should work | 20:37 |
| sebsebseb | hummmmm 7zip files. well I guess Linux would would usaully use tar.gz or something like that. | 20:37 |
| Brinstar | Flare183: :) it does | 20:37 |
| sebsebseb | LInux people above | 20:37 |
| Pawene | Is it possible to use a text file and if so, how would I do that? Google isn't helping much :-/ | 20:37 |
| Flare183 | Brinstar: oh ok | 20:37 |
| Pawene | er... (Use a text file as input for mv) | 20:37 |
| n8tuser | perillux -> what is your intention? | 20:37 |
| Brinstar | Pawene: how do u mean use? just view? | 20:37 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: is libixp the correct package? | 20:37 |
| quiltP | i can't find libix on it's own | 20:38 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: oh, and alesis has nothing to do with ati/amd | 20:38 |
| Pawene | Brinstar: Forgot to put the "mv" part in.. | 20:38 |
| corey | how do I install apache? i tried sudo apt-get | 20:38 |
| sim_kharkov | <perillux> try disabling gdm | 20:38 |
| simon__ | perillux: Disable gdm under System > Administration > Services | 20:38 |
| sebsebseb | !lamp | corey | 20:38 |
| ubottu | corey: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 20:38 |
| Brinstar | hmm, jsut thinking of an answer for you Pawene | 20:38 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: huh? i see this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libxi6 | 20:38 |
| GuuZ | Whats the easiest way to analyse the system log for errors or other unwanted activitiets? | 20:38 |
| smtp_ | Hey | 20:38 |
| quiltP | Threetimes: i think the sound thing must be a setup issue of some sort | 20:38 |
| smtp_ | What kind of packages does Ubuntu use? Does it support RPM? | 20:38 |
| KIAaze_ | hi, does anybody here know how to get rid of ^M line endings when editors don't show them? | 20:38 |
| Threetimes | quiltP: maybe, but i gotta sleep :p | 20:38 |
| bcog | Threetimes, i already have liblapack-dev | 20:38 |
| Threetimes | goodbye all :D | 20:38 |
| zenlunatic | smtp_, yeah use 'alien' | 20:39 |
| bcog | awww bye | 20:39 |
| n8tuser | smtp_ -> nope, uses deb | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | smtp_: Ubuntu uses Deb, it does not suppourt RPM, but alien can be used, but | 20:39 |
| sim_kharkov | <KIAaze_> dos2unix tool | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | !alien | 20:39 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 20:39 |
| rdw200169 | KIAaze_, vim can do it. i can't remember off the top of my head how, only that it can | 20:39 |
| Brinstar | Pawene: isnt it just as simple as piping it like "textfile.txt > mv $1 \home\mydir | 20:39 |
| Brinstar | " | 20:39 |
| ioudas | yay all done | 20:39 |
| KIAaze_ | vim doesn't show me the ^M | 20:39 |

| martyw | when i try to fetch the package list, a lot of repositories say "failed" | 21:32 |
| martyw | here are some that say intrepid-backports, and they either say "cached" or "ok" | 21:32 |

| Ignatius | I can run it quite happily on my ubuntu OS | 21:38 |

| JarG0n | Ignatius> sun-java6-jre is not supported by Canonical | 21:39 |
| Ignatius | really? Er... one sec | 21:39 |
| JarG0n | Ignatius> At least, that's how it's marked in Synaptic. | 21:39 |
| danbhfive | JarG0n: sun-java is supported by sun, and they do a better job in my experience | 21:39 |
| keepsake | What does (RO) beside a system volume in Testdisk mean? | 21:40 |
| Ignatius | JarG0n: try sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk | 21:40 |
| keepsake | Read-only? | 21:40 |
| Ignatius | rather than using synaptics | 21:40 |
| JarG0n | Ignatius> yes, that's the package listed in sun-java6-bin | 21:41 |
| Frijolie | anyone, anyone...bueler, bueler? | 21:41 |

| perillux | I don't see any icons in GNome menus. I think I changed a setting in gconf-editor, does anyone know what key it is? | 21:41 |
| JarG0n | Ignatius> it does work, I was just wondering which option was better, since the latter isn't supported by Canonical, and hasn't been reviewed for compatibility. | 21:42 |

| Ignatius | JarG0n: oh... well since Java was designed to work on a 'NIX system which has a simialr file-structure to Linux Ubuntu, it should work no problem at all | 21:43 |

| ScottG489 | Ok, so i can use "Connect to server" to connect to my remote computers files. But my router forwards ssh to my server. how do i get my desktops files externally? | 21:43 |
| roadfish | roadfish: for the record, to get NOPASSWD working in sudoers, you have to place everything _after_ the "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" line. | 21:43 |
| ScottG489 | I'm really running into a lot of problems with SSH and needing to go to my server then desktop | 21:44 |
| ScottG489 | That normally works when just using the terminal cuz i can just ssh to my server then to my desktop internally from there. but for other programs that use ssh to connect to my home computers dont really see how I can do that | 21:44 |
| Knat | I tried to use an init file to reset my password, when i restarted mysql it failed, there is nothing in /var/log/mysql.err, in the my.cnf i see the line "# Error logging goes to syslog. This is a Debian improvement :)" there are no errors in my syslog file either | 21:44 |

| guntbert | ScottG489: I think ##networking will be a better place for that kind of problems | 21:45 |
| Frijolie | Roasted, I would guess that it means that your kernel panic isn't syncing | 21:46 |

| Frijolie | Roasted, hehe | 21:46 |

| guntbert | calwig: *what* are you trying to do? (sorry I don't understand your question) | 22:03 |
| Aerotha | nope | 22:04 |
| Frijolie | paulo39, virtual-box-ose = virtual box open source edition | 22:04 |
| Frijolie | paulo39, that's what I have installed | 22:04 |
| blip | whats the driver name | 22:04 |
| bcog | i'm trying to get the soxt libraries. i know i can get it off of coin3d's website, but coin3d is within the repositories. can anyone tell me if soxt is in the repositories by another name? | 22:04 |
| Aerotha | There are two | 22:04 |
| bcog | would prefer to install that way! | 22:04 |
| paulo39 | Frijolie, virtual-box-ose is the package i have to install? | 22:04 |
| blip | Aerotha: could you list them both | 22:04 |
| Frijolie | paulo39, yes | 22:04 |
| paulo39 | ok, thanks | 22:05 |
| Aerotha | Nvidia Accelerated graphics driver (173) and Nvidia Accelerated graphics driver (177)[recommended] | 22:05 |
| Frijolie | paulo39, no prob | 22:05 |
| Aerotha | Tried both, to the same effect. | 22:05 |

| Frijolie | quibbler, i'm deathly afraid that everything mounted as /media/disk will change to which ever volume label I change to | 22:10 |
| Aerotha | which appear to be the same | 22:10 |
| blip | aerotha there should be other options | 22:11 |
| Aerotha | blip: on what pane? | 22:11 |
| Frijolie | quibbler, I don't want my external HDD mounting as "Sansa Fuze 7.9GB" | 22:11 |
| esay | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcrcx1abm2M | 22:12 |
| quibbler | Frijolie: then live with the label as is...personally i don't think it is a big deal | 22:12 |
| blip | hold on | 22:12 |
| Frijolie | quibbler, it was mounting fine before I did a firmware update on the player | 22:12 |
| Aerotha | k | 22:12 |
| Frijolie | quibbler, now it just mounts as 7.9 GB Media and looks like a HDD | 22:13 |
| Frijolie | quibbler, i know it's nit picky but I'd like to change it to "Sansa Fuze" or something similar and then change the icon | 22:13 |
| Lord-Jynx | is grub option vga=xxx is only used in the terminal windows / booting correct? Xserver uses it's own driver? | 22:14 |
| jase1 | can anyone help me reassign the "executable (application/x-executable)" file type back to default? py2par from synaptic messed it up on me | 22:14 |

| Frijolie | quibbler, right, there's a few articles showing you how to do it | 22:14 |
| blip | Aerotha ?? | 22:15 |
| Frijolie | quibbler, i just am concerned that it will also begin mounting my external hard drive (which also auto mounts to /media/disk) to the same volume label | 22:15 |
| Aerotha | Yeah, blip? | 22:15 |
| Frijolie | quibbler, that's why I came here to have someone confirm that question for me | 22:15 |
| jase1 | hmm | 22:16 |
| * jase1 sighs and looks around | 22:16 | |
| quibbler | Frijolie: your mp3 is 8gigs your hard disk is what 100 ? pretty hard to get them mixed up | 22:16 |
| Frijolie | quibbler, yeah my player is 8GB and my HDD is 320GB. I would just find that annoying that Ubuntu would call my 320GB HDD "Sansa Fuze" | 22:17 |
| Frijolie | quibbler, that's all | 22:17 |

| quibbler | Frijolie: i bought a external hd and the thing had a name elements...i didn't like it but i just left it | 22:19 |

| scratch_ | Frijolie: i see | 22:19 |
| racecar56 | nightdrever i have told you before, just mount the dumb thing | 22:19 |
| Frijolie | can you assign a volume label by device ID? | 22:19 |
| racecar56 | nightdrever it works out of the box | 22:19 |
| Frijolie | lsusb sees it as "Bus 004 Device 013: ID 0781:74c3 SanDisk Corp. " | 22:20 |
| jase1 | erm thanks ljl but now i got a list and i wouldnt know what application runs those file types | 22:20 |
| Frijolie | but mount sees it as "/dev/sdb on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush)" | 22:20 |

| Frijolie | I guess this is a good thing, right? I'm stumping the pros! | 22:22 |
| sprinkmeier | Frijolie, not sure if I understand the problem... but if yo set a volume label on the disk (see e2label) it gets mounted as /media/VOLUME_LABEL_NAME | 22:22 |
| Ean | Is it a big difference between Arch and Ubuntu regarding how wlan works? | 22:23 |
| Frijolie | sprinkmeier, ok, maybe I don't understand where the volume labels are stored. | 22:23 |
| SgtFlame|Zen | I have a game engine framework that I'm porting to Ubuntu / Debian package and I was wondering where the binaries should be installed for the framework vs the plugins vs game assets.

| scratch_ | Frijolie: remember how it changed after you updated your fuze? | 22:23 |
| Frijolie | sprinkmeier, volume labels are something the OS accesses at mount/unmount right? | 22:23 |
| * jase1 sighs | 22:24 | |
| Frijolie | scratch_, yes "automagically" | 22:24 |
| sprinkmeier | Frijolie, it's like a human-readable name for the partition. FAT supprots them too, but I don't know how to change a FAT label form Linux | 22:24 |
| scratch_ | volume labels are stored on the volume | 22:24 |

| Lord-Jynx | is grub option vga=xxx is only used in the terminal windows / booting correct? Xserver uses it's own driver? | 22:24 |
| scratch_ | Frijolie: i'm thinking the firmware update changed the volume label of your Fuze to something generic | 22:25 |
| Frijolie | sprinkmeier, i've googled exhaustively and all suggest mtools (mlabel) | 22:25 |
| * jase1 kicks the crap out of synaptic for screwing up his executable filetype and having to resort to these irc channels that dont seem to get results. | 22:25 | |
| scratch_ | Frijolie: see if you can find a way to change it | 22:25 |
| Frijolie | scratch_, ok, so the volume labels are stored on the device(s) themselves? | 22:25 |
| scratch_ | Frijolie: don't worry about your mount points, etc in Ubuntu | 22:25 |
| scratch_ | Frijolie: yessir | 22:25 |
| sprinkmeier | Frijolie, sounds about right. try setting the label and check that HAL-automount picks it up and uses it as a mountpoint. | 22:26 |
| scratch_ | Just like when you put in a CD labeled 'NORP' and it mounts as 'NORP' :D | 22:26 |
| Frijolie | sprinkmeier, ok I thought it had/has something to do with mountpoints kinda like fstab | 22:26 |
| Frijolie | scratch_, see above | 22:26 |
| scratch_ | Frijolie: word | 22:27 |
| jase1 | everyone beware of downloading pypar2 from synaptic it will break your executables | 22:27 |
| Frijolie | scratch_, word is born! | 22:27 |
| sprinkmeier | sprinkmeier, you can override labels, but by default the HAL-automount magic uses them | 22:27 |
| scratch_ | Frijolie: bond :D word is 'bond' | 22:28 |
| jase1 | LjL: are you there? | 22:28 |
| Frijolie | sprinkmeier, hehe you sent that to yourself...alright so volume labels are stored on the device and HAL reads them as a "suggestion" when they're mounted? | 22:28 |
| scratch_ | Frijolie: on that mtools page the $ represents your shell prompt | 22:28 |
| scratch_ | type everything else | 22:28 |

| elli222 | hello | 22:46 |
| Frijolie | sprinkmeier, as reported by the device " Volume label is SANSA FUZE " | 22:46 |
| Ean | quibbler: probably because he tried to install the .deb package from skyped website, and not using the repo... | 22:46 |
| Lenin_Cat | sprinkmeier? | 22:46 |
| Frijolie | sprinkmeier, so it must be not being recognized by HAL | 22:46 |
| sprinkmeier | Lenin_Cat, you shouldn't be in the root groun (GID=0), just the admin group (or adm, or wheel, distro dependant) which sudoers uses to give you access when required | 22:46 |

| kc8pxy | hobo: 3G card?? i've not worked with those yet. | 22:56 |
| sprinkmeier | BS2, is you're desperate you can munge the sudoers to stop asking you for a password. not recommended. | 22:56 |

| Frijolie | scratch_, nope | 22:56 |

| Frijolie | BS2, gksudo nautilus | 22:57 |
| scratch_ | well my ipod is FAT32...lemme see if i can change it's volume label :D | 22:57 |
| sprinkmeier | BS2, that's because, according to the unix way of doing things, it's a monumentally strange thing to do. | 22:57 |
| === unix3_ is now known as epaphus | ||
| === fader is now known as fader|away | ||
| sprinkmeier | BS2, you could try "ssh -X root@localhost nautilus" but seriously, you should most likely not be doing this! | 22:58 |
| Frijolie | scratch_, you don't have to do that! | 22:58 |
| Frijolie | scratch_, I messed with the volume labels via nautilus and it messed it up (it wouldn't mount anymore) | 22:58 |
| BS2 | If ubuntu wants to get away from having to type loads of command line stuff in, then it's a normal thing to need. | 22:58 |

| Frijolie | sprinkmeier, I dig CLI..only wish I knew more and was better at tit | 23:00 |
| Frijolie | er at it :) | 23:00 |
| kc8pxy | BS2: that is a insane way to run a *nix box. you only need root permissions for a few things, and otherwise, you should leave it well alone. having people assume they should administrator rights to a machine, to run day to day things, is one of the biggest doors windows has for malware/virii to screw your system. ubuntu seperates this power intentionally. in part as a "fire break" for an intruder. | 23:00 |

| emretemp | hi all, I want to perform a check disk on my new laptop. google'd it a bit. they say to use smarttools, and i did. there was no info if my HDD has bad sectors or not (used this command -> "smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda4") so am I correct to assume that since there is not a fault report, I can say that my HDD has no bad sectors or smt like that? or am I only day dreaming ? ; ) | 23:17 |
| heldburgen | i just installed ubuntu. i added "noapic acpi=off" to get it to install. now, when i try to boot into ubuntu its giving me the same problem i avoided with the kernel options | 23:17 |
| bigrigger | echo_mirage: still have the c source? the nick refers to big trucks, nothing 'personal' :) | 23:17 |
| scratch_ | Frijolie: you still around? | 23:17 |
| echo_mirage | bigrigger, yes i have the source. and "make" worked fine, no warnings or errors | 23:18 |

| maccam94 | emretemp: checkdisk on a windows partition or fsck a linux partition? | 23:18 |
| emretemp | maccam94, im using ubuntu and try to check my all partitions against bad sectors. | 23:19 |
| bigrigger | echo_mirage: i'm not a C expert but i compile with 'cc source.c' that gives me a 'a.out' file which i rename and run. don't know if that'll work for you. | 23:19 |
| echo_mirage | bigrigger, actually i think the source may be not valid, since it is not a release | 23:20 |
| maccam94 | emretemp: if you're worried about sectors download and run a cd of hddregen | 23:20 |
| maccam94 | emretemp: i'll find a link for you | 23:20 |

| gerald_ | using cli? | 23:21 |
| emretemp | lstarnes, can you name one of them ? | 23:21 |
| lstarnes | emretemp: fsck | 23:22 |

| heldburgen | bigrigger: yup. i'm in there now | 23:23 |
| bigrigger | Akkernight: should be in the apps/internet menu. | 23:23 |
| Akkernight | but it isn't | 23:23 |
| maccam94 | emretemp: it's part of Hiren's Boot CD (so you burn the ISO to a disk). it won't touch your files, it will just detect and try to repair bad sectors | 23:24 |

| amigamia | yes danbhfive_jaunty | 23:28 |
| amigamia | what does it mean? | 23:29 |
| smitty__ | LjL, all it said was my username | 23:29 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | amigamia: can you pastebin the exact error message? | 23:29 |
| LjL | smitty__: err, are you on ubuntu at all? is that user the one you created when you installed it? | 23:29 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: i read that. cant you get a terminal screen? | 23:29 |
| amigamia | well i cant because it only occurs during bootup | 23:29 |
| ScottG489 | Isn't .profile suppose to run every time a shell starts up or at least when the computer does? | 23:29 |
| amigamia | it makes reference to swapon | 23:29 |
| bigrigger | gerald_: No, i've not seen a script for that, it would be handy though. | 23:29 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | amigamia: do you have pastebinit? | 23:29 |
| amigamia | no danbhfive | 23:30 |
| elli222 | can anyone help me with this line of bash script? "if [ $KEYNAME = "" ]; then" its suppost to compare $KEYNAME to null, or nothing. it isnt working for some reason? | 23:30 |
| gerald_ | ok thanks i will continue my google searching | 23:30 |
| smitty__ | LjL, I'm on ubuntu 8.04. I didn't actually install it.. it's a VPS from MOSSO. They just gave me root access | 23:30 |
| amigamia | let me get it | 23:30 |
| heldburgen | bigrigger: not that i know of. i'm not particularly experienced with this stuff, though | 23:30 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | amigamia: well, get it, and then: dmesg | pastebinit | 23:30 |
| LjL | smitty__: then it's a *seriously* customized "Ubuntu" if it has no admin group. | 23:30 |
| heldburgen | actually. it looks like there is an option in recovery mode: drop to root shell prompt | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | elli222: check that advanced bash scripting guide, it has examples of such lines.. i dont do enoguh bash to even knwow aht the problem is. | 23:31 |
| LjL | smitty__: pastebin your /etc/sudoers | 23:31 |
| Cpudan80 | elli222: if [ "$KEY" = "" ] | 23:31 |
| elli222 | dr_willis, where is this guide? | 23:31 |

| bigrigger | heldburgen: do that, drop to root, run dmesg | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | elli222: its from the TLDP.org site. :) and in th repos | 23:31 |
| elli222 | cheers | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | elli222: im not sure your 'test' is correct for bash | 23:32 |
| Cpudan80 | elli222: probably better to use test -z | 23:32 |
| Cpudan80 | elli222: -z checks 0 length string | 23:32 |
| elli222 | will try that | 23:32 |
| Cpudan80 | if [ -z $AABC ] | 23:32 |
| Cpudan80 | elli222: the relevant man page for all the [ ] things is "man test" | 23:33 |

| ActionParsnip | evilbug: in size or quality? | 23:45 |
| evilbug | ActionParsnip- quality. | 23:45 |
| evilbug | ActionParsnip- i usually don't work with ogg. | 23:45 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: I wonder if your BIOS setup has the ability to disable that? | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | evilbug: i'd say 128kbps or slightly higher, ogg is sweeeeet | 23:45 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | amigamia: sorry, its telling me that is an invalid pastebin ID maybe you need to do it again? | 23:45 |

| ghindo | evilbug: Could you start from the beginning - you're trying to create some ogg vorbis files that are about the same quality as 192 kbps mp3 files, correct? | 23:48 |
| evilbug | ActionParsnip- i'd convert from a master 16-bit/44.1kHz wav into mp3 and ogg. | 23:48 |
| evilbug | ghindo- yes. | 23:48 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: type startx | 23:48 |

| amigamia | if you should have any thoughts could you send me an email dan @ riosambagirl@gmail.com ??? | 23:48 |

| Frijolie | er scratch_ : yes If I have to | 23:49 |
| scratch_ | Frijolie: then why are you trying to do it in linux...5 seconds man...plug that thing in.. | 23:49 |

| amigamia | using like gparted? | 23:50 |

| Frijolie | scratch_, did what work? | 23:51 |
| Frijolie | scratch_, mtools reports the volume label as correct | 23:52 |
| ghindo | evilbug: Does that help at all? | 23:52 |
| Frijolie | scratch_, I think HAL is overriding it | 23:52 |
| weatherkid | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132235/ | 23:52 |
| Frijolie | scratch_, to something generic | 23:52 |
| scratch_ | Frijolie: what is the volume label? | 23:52 |

| evilbug | ghindo- that's exactly what i was looking for, thank you. | 23:52 |
| quibbler | heldburgen: yes | 23:53 |
| Frijolie | scratch_, as reported from mtools, "Volume label is SANSA FUZE" | 23:53 |
| evilbug | ghindo- should i go ogg or flac? | 23:53 |
| ghindo | evilbug: No problem. The HydrogenAudio wiki has a lot of audio-related knowledge that might help you out. I don't know offhand how good their ogg knowledge base is, but it should be fine | 23:53 |
| Frijolie | evilbug, .flac for archival purposes, .ogg for portable players | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | weatherkid: heres mine: | 23:53 |
| evilbug | Frijolie- thank you. | 23:53 |
| ghindo | evilbug: Well, FLAC would be a completely lossless rip, with huge file sizes. Ogg vorbis would probably be preferable | 23:53 |
| weatherkid | ActionParsnip: can you make sure chance and kathy have r/w premissions | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | weatherkid: did you run: sudo smbpasswd -a chance | 23:54 |
| weatherkid | Yup | 23:54 |
| evilbug | ActionParsnip, Frijolie, ghindo - thank you for your help! | 23:54 |
| ghindo | evilbug: No problem! Let us know if you have any more questions :) | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | weatherkid: http://pastebin.com/f234f8267 | 23:54 |
