| vjacob2 | sebsebseb, it is set to theres, however I will change my home permissions then | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| vjacob2 | thanks jrib1 | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | vjacob2: yeah maybe they are in the same group as you for accessing your home | 00:00 |
| pieman22 | can anyone tell me how to set up a timed kill command? | 00:00 |

| vjacob2 | sebsebseb: I made them using the user control panel in GNOME and they got a seperate group AFAICS | 00:01 |
| Time`s_Witness | is there any irc client for linux that allows scripting, about as freely as mIRC ? preferentially same language, or not too different xD | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | lenswipe: ok now run: dmesg | tail | 00:01 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Time`s_Witness, IRSSI all the way :) | 00:01 |
| bigrigger | pieman22: use crontab | 00:01 |
| heldburgen | quibbler: did that then rebooted normally and it looks like x keeps trying to start up (the screen goes blank) but keeps going back to command line | 00:01 |
| pieman22 | cheers, bigrigger | 00:02 |

| jacob5 | Hello, whenever I try to install stuff or update things, I get this error: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed | 00:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Time`s_Witness, I dont use mirc | 00:02 |
| heldburgen | the last operation on the command line is "checking battery state [OK]". no errors shown | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | lenswipe: ok now see what error 4 is | 00:02 |
| quibbler | heldburgen: do crtl alt backspace | 00:02 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: read your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 00:02 |
| lenswipe | ActionParsnip: im not sure i follow you... | 00:02 |
| Time`s_Witness | going to check it. thanks Paddy_EIRE :) | 00:02 |
| lenswipe | ActionParsnip: you mean the 4th line of error? | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | lenswipe: no, read the dmesg output, at the end of the apt lines it says error 4 | 00:04 |
| lenswipe | ActionParsnip: ok | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | lenswipe: find out what that means | 00:04 |
| lenswipe | ActionParsnip: so how to i find out what error 4 is? | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | lenswipe: websearches | 00:05 |
| lenswipe | oh, ok | 00:05 |
| lenswipe | thanks | 00:05 |
| vjacob2 | sebsebseb: I entered into the group user options panel and saw no checkmarks next to the relevant username for each user's group. Now after I enabled one relevant user per group, it still doesn't work | 00:06 |
| alecwh_d | hello, my computer has two dvd drives (one writes, the other just plays), and the second one (cdrom1) doesn't seem to be working, and cdrom0 does. I'm certain they are both functioning and everything, it's just that the CD isn't mounting when I insert it into cdrom1. Can someone help me fix this? | 00:06 |

| ScottG489 | What is .profile in ubuntu and what does it do? I was taught that .profile executes on login but it doesnt for ubuntu | 00:06 |
| lenswipe | ActionParsnip: am i googling the right thing here? | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | lenswipe: looks fine | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | lenswipe: if google turns up blank, try www.ask.com or www.msn.com | 00:07 |
| jacob5 | Whenever I run dpkg or anything that uses it, I get this: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. | 00:07 |
| vjacob2 | jrib1, thanks, although I still don't know what to do with the permissions without messing up everything permissions wise. Is it just to change the permission on the home directory it self (non-recursively) or is it changing my user's permissions? | 00:07 |
| lenswipe | ActionParsnip: will do thanks | 00:07 |
| bigrigger | ScottG489: it tells the machine to read ~/.bashrc among other things | 00:07 |
| heldburgen | bigrigger: no obvious errors. the video card happens to be a radeon in a random cheapie toshiba laptop, which might be it. last line contains "closed DRM master". there's also "leaving restore TV" just above that | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | lenswipe: ive not had the error before, a reboot may sort it (if a reboot is possible) | 00:08 |
| weatherkid | can someone please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 00:08 |
| jrib1 | weatherkid: is your '!' key stuck? | 00:08 |
| Sergeant_Pony | lol | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | weatherkid: wassup | 00:09 |
| ScottG489 | bigrigger: Yea when does it tell the machine that? Because it doesnt run on login or any time. I tried putting some aliases in there but they dont run | 00:09 |
| weatherkid | ActionParsnip: I need chance and kathy to have r/w permissions in a floder that im sharing with samba http://paste.ubuntu.com/132235/ | 00:10 |
| weatherkid | folder | 00:10 |
| bigrigger | ScottG489: put aliases in /home/$USER/.bashrc | 00:10 |
| Time`s_Witness | i downloaded IRSSI, and tried instructions to install it (./configure , make) and.. it won't "make". | 00:10 |
| Time`s_Witness | what can i do in that case? | 00:10 |
| Time`s_Witness | xD | 00:10 |
| jrib1 | Time`s_Witness: irssi is in the repositories. Use APT | 00:11 |
| ScottG489 | bigrigger: And anything else that I want to run on login? | 00:11 |
| Time`s_Witness | i used :s | 00:11 |
| jrib1 | Time`s_Witness: you used ":s"? What is ":s"? | 00:11 |
| mrwes | ScottG489, or you can make an .bash_alias file and call to that from your .bashrc file | 00:11 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: you might try modprobe radeon or lsmod |grep radeon, i think its a video probem | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | weatherkid: then add writable = yes | 00:11 |
| Time`s_Witness | lol. a smile. xD I used apt-get install IRSSI | 00:11 |
| jacob5 | can anyone here please help me with this: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. | 00:11 |
| jrib1 | Time`s_Witness: and what was the output? | 00:11 |
| Trixar_za | It's a worried expression @ jrib1 | 00:11 |
| louiscvh | Hey i have problems with mysql the error is this: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) | 00:11 |
| louiscvh | , im restarted the password like 10000 times. | 00:11 |
| Time`s_Witness | jrib1 couldn't find package | 00:12 |
| ScottG489 | mrwes: How would I call another script from bashrc? just like "./.aliases" ? | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | weatherkid: if you use sudo smbpasswd -a chance | 00:12 |
| Time`s_Witness | is it case sensitive? | 00:12 |
| mrwes | ScottG489, put startup stuff in sessions | 00:12 |
| mrwes | ScottG489, hold | 00:12 |
| jrib1 | Time`s_Witness: try and see | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | weatherkid: and make the smbpasswd identical to its login password, and then do the same for kathy then they will have to authenticate to get access and writability | 00:13 |
| gueux | hi | 00:13 |
| heldburgen | bigrigger: modprobe radeon returns nothing. lsmod | grep radeon returns 2 lines... radeon and drm | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi | gueux | 00:13 |
| ubottu | gueux: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:13 |
| gueux | is there a way to define another shift+insert? (I'd like to have a shortcut with only one key) | 00:13 |
| Time`s_Witness | jrib1, how about the "configure" command. did it put thrash in the system windows alike or just in the folder where some other stuff got extracted? | 00:13 |
| ScottG489 | mrwes: I kinda feel like I should leave sessions to larger programs and graphical things not things I want for my terminal shell | 00:13 |
| gueux | ubottu: thanks :-) | 00:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks :-) | 00:13 |
| mrwes | ScottG489, uncomment the the alias definition part in your .bashrc file | 00:13 |
| jrib1 | Time`s_Witness: just the folder | 00:14 |
| Time`s_Witness | great =) | 00:14 |
| Time`s_Witness | thanks! | 00:14 |
| mrwes | ScottG489, ah...yah | 00:14 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: then you are using the radeon driver | 00:14 |
| Time`s_Witness | yea, apt-get is case sensitive. <.< | 00:14 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: can you start an x session on boot yet | 00:14 |

| vjacob2 | jrib1, to avoid others being able to read my home dir, could I just make the directory "/home/userfolder" 750 ? | 00:16 |
| Time`s_Witness | doesnt irssi have graphic mode ? just terminal? :P | 00:16 |
| weatherkid | TheMusicGuy: try sudo apt-get update | 00:16 |
| vjacob2 | Time`s_Witness, the gnome version does | 00:16 |
| heldburgen | bigrigger: lspci tells me i have an ati radeon xpress 200m. from a default boot x keeps trying to start over and over but not working, it looks like (keeps blanking the screen then dropping back to the command line) | 00:16 |
| jacob5 | can anyone here pretty please help me with this error? dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. | 00:16 |
| vjacob2 | jacob5, did you google that? | 00:16 |
| Frijolie | can't believe that changing a volume label is so difficult! | 00:17 |
| Time`s_Witness | how can i access it vjacob2 please ? i mean, nothing appeared under applications menu..that i can see. i'm using ubuntu | 00:17 |
| tonsofpcs | in vi, just :s/regexp/replacement/ and it replaced one, how do i replace all matches? | 00:17 |
| jacob5 | yes, I have tried many things and haven't fixed it. its been like this a little after I upgrade to 8.10 | 00:17 |
| vjacob2 | Time`s_Witness, try the package manager under settings | 00:17 |
| rong_ | hello all | 00:17 |
| rong_ | could someone tell me the default ubuntu font? | 00:17 |
| Frijolie | hi! | rong_ | 00:17 |
| Frijolie | !hi | rong_ | 00:17 |
| ubottu | rong_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:17 |
| TheMusicGuy | weatherkid: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/108258/ | 00:17 |
| rong_ | trying to stored the default font | 00:17 |
| bin1010 | i need someones help with the nvidia drivers...I have ubuntu 8.10 64bit on a DELL laptop. I have the drivers working, but if I move the computer from docking station to docking station (ie. home and work), it always starts with the external monitor turned off. When I had the vesa driver, it at least tried to find the best resolution for the current monitor...is there a way to fix this behaviour? | 00:18 |
| TheMusicGuy | weatherkid: but update manager says there's still updates | 00:18 |
| vjacob2 | Time`s_Witness, it may be called synoptics package manager, and it will allow you to install it if you search for irssi. I'd just install xchat if I were you however | 00:18 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: are you running intrepid? you could run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in a terminal. | 00:18 |
| Laurenceb | if I print to dpf with evince, where does the pdf pop out? | 00:18 |
| rong_ | restored I ment | 00:18 |
| humbolt | I have deleted the "tracker" entry in the startup applications manager. Can somebody paste me the command line | 00:18 |
| LjL | cwillu: what programming language would you recommend me for a fortune cookies application? | 00:18 |
| Time`s_Witness | i have vjacob2 there already, i already installed irssi. im asking if irssi itself is just terminal mode, or graphic environment available, not installation :) | 00:18 |
| mac2612 | Hi guys....anybody here any good with fixing suspend problems? | 00:18 |
| cwillu | LjL, this is a trick question, I just know it | 00:18 |
| Time`s_Witness | *i have xchat there already | 00:18 |
| bigrigger | Time`s_Witness: irssi is terminal only | 00:18 |
| rong_ | so anyone know the default font? | 00:19 |
| Frijolie | LjL, isn't it just flour, a little sugar, and water? | 00:19 |
| LjL | cwillu: *shrug* | 00:19 |
| * cwillu suggests python | 00:19 | |
| weatherkid | TheMusicGuy: what that does is update apt so you won't (hopefully) won't get that error | 00:19 |
| Time`s_Witness | ok! :) This can be fun then ! :D heh. thank you :) | 00:19 |
| Laurenceb | if I print to dpf with evince, where does the pdf pop out? | 00:19 |
| * cwillu pokes LjL with a python | 00:19 | |
| weatherkid | now update | 00:19 |
| bigrigger | Time`s_Witness: irssi.org | 00:19 |
| Frijolie | cwillu, keep it clean please! | 00:19 |
| heldburgen | how can i drop to command line if i'm inside the startup process or its trying to startup x? | 00:20 |
| TheMusicGuy | weatherkid: update manager says there's several YEARS of downloading to do...then it fails. | 00:20 |
| cwillu | Frijolie, there's history here :p | 00:20 |
| Frijolie | cwillu, ah, I see | 00:20 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: recovery mode boot or root shell | 00:20 |
| weatherkid | thats all i got up my sleave. sorry | 00:20 |
| TheMusicGuy | oh poo. | 00:21 |
| TheMusicGuy | thanks anyway. | 00:21 |
| TheMusicGuy | anyone else? | 00:21 |
| * weatherkid whacks myself for no reason | 00:21 | |
| Time`s_Witness | what kind of scripts does irssi run? *.sh? others proper from it? what else? | 00:21 |

| Trixar_za | Hey, is there like any way to fix this issue I'm having with my bluetooth that would work? I looked on launchpad and tried several solutions, but it can detect my bluetooth device, and hcitool scan DUN picks up my mobile, but I can't pair or connect to it. I even tried installing Blueman with no success. Any ideas? | 00:25 |
| tonsofpcs | now, anyone know a way to go through a file and leave lines that appear twice [or more] but remove the rest? | 00:25 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: hal does most of the work in 8.10 but xserver-xorg might help | 00:25 |
| dan | Anyone have a logitech usb headset? Im going insane here | 00:26 |
| Akkernight | What SVN client do you recommend? Something like tortoiseSVN, I know Bazaar, but it's a real headache when you don't use launchpad as your SVN server | 00:26 |
| heldburgen | which settings should i go for in dpkg-reconfigure? | 00:26 |
| Time`s_Witness | what are meta-keys? O.o | 00:26 |
| IntuitiveNipple | tonsofpcs: Are the lines contiguous or randomly separated? | 00:26 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: I don't think it gives you options anymore | 00:27 |
| Frijolie | does LAMP stand for Linux Apache MySQL and Python? | 00:27 |

| bigrigger | Frijolie: yes | 00:28 |
| weatherkid | what is the cmd to restart samba? | 00:28 |
| heldburgen | bigrigger: its asking me if i want to use kernel framebugger device interface. also, does it make sense that from recovery console i could start x just fine (albeit, without the keyboard or mouse working) but not in regular boot? | 00:28 |
| Issa | Frijolie: OGO | 00:28 |
| Issa | Frijolie: oops sorry, PHP | 00:28 |
| Issa | Hi, where can I find the configurations of the network manager that I set with wired, wireless and dsl connections that I have? | 00:28 |
| cwillu | Frijolie, dunno, ask LjL | 00:28 |
| Frijolie | huh? | 00:28 |
| sebsebseb | !lamp | Frijolie | 00:28 |
| ubottu | Frijolie: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 00:28 |
| dan | Anyone have a logitech usb headset? Im going insane here | 00:29 |
| Frijolie | I've heard that PHP was inferior to Python | 00:29 |
| tonsofpcs | IntuitiveNipple: random | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | Frijolie: ha ha, hardly anyone programs back ends of sites in Python | 00:29 |
| Frijolie | Python is more of a JIT compiler, right? more flexibility easier code base | 00:29 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: I would say no frame buffer normally. xorg.conf sets the keyboard etc using HAL | 00:29 |
| cwillu | not really | 00:30 |
| Issa | sebastien: Frijolie: Djungo would be a great framework for web | 00:30 |
| cwillu | it's a cleaner language, and there is jit work being done in it though | 00:30 |
| sebsebseb | Frijolie: Python is a good first programming language | 00:30 |
| Frijolie | sebsebseb, then move on to, C#? | 00:30 |
| Akkernight | could anyone recommend a SVN client? | 00:30 |
| hobo | Anyone know how to get an internet broadband card working? | 00:30 |
| jrib1 | Akkernight: subversion? | 00:30 |
| bigrigger | heldburgen: i don't know why thats happening but its probably something simple, brb | 00:30 |
| jeeves | what is the MOST agressive OS fingerprinting and vanerability scanner out there? | 00:30 |
| sebsebseb | Frijolie: I don't program anything yet, but know stuff, and have attempted learning Python and PHP before | 00:30 |
| cwillu | and there's tonnes of websites written in python (and ruby, and perl, two other languages at around the same level of sophistication, although they both go in slightly different directions) | 00:30 |
| Akkernight | Yes, something that works like tortoiseSVN | 00:30 |
| jrib1 | Akkernight: meh, I meant subversion itself in a shell. There's rapidsvn. Do « apt-cache search subversion » | 00:31 |
| Fougner | Akkernight, rapidSVN =) | 00:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | tonsofpcs: awk '{if ($0 in lines) x=1; else print; lines[$0]=1}' in.file >out.file | 00:31 |
| heldburgen | bigrigger: same results from startx after dpkg-reconfigure in both recovery and default boot | 00:32 |
| Akkernight | I've tried rapidSVN, you can't rightclick and then choose checkout with it | 00:32 |
| Laurenceb | if I print to dpf with evince, where does the pdf pop out? | 00:32 |
| jrib1 | Akkernight: there are also a collection of nautilus scripts for svn in the repositories | 00:32 |
| Time`s_Witness | considering that i accidentaly removed "applications", "system", menu at the panel, how do i set them back ? xD | 00:33 |
| tonsofpcs | not working, IntuitiveNipple | 00:33 |
| jrib1 | Time`s_Witness: right click on the panel, add to panel | 00:33 |
| planetheroes | very quick and easy question: how do i stop iptables | 00:33 |
| jrib1 | planetheroes: why do you want to...? | 00:33 |
| glenrock | planetheroes: sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop | 00:33 |
| planetheroes | cause i'm having a problem with a program | 00:33 |
| Time`s_Witness | thanks jrib1 | 00:34 |
| planetheroes | not operating correctly | 00:34 |
| planetheroes | program is rtorrent 0.8.4 | 00:34 |
| jrib1 | planetheroes: uh huh... Well « sudo iptables -L » will show you the rules you have set. Do you have any set? | 00:34 |
| Fougner | planetheroes, define "not operating correctly" | 00:34 |
| planetheroes | doesn't connect to any trackers | 00:34 |
| Fougner | and you're sure it's another program ? | 00:35 |
| XPS_M1330 | so gnome uses only GTK and KDE uses QT? | 00:35 |
| glenrock | XPS_M1330: that's basically true, however you can run kde apps under gnome and vice versa | 00:35 |
| planetheroes | sorry was that directed at me Fougner? | 00:35 |
| dr_willis | I mixx and match kde + gnome apps all the time. | 00:35 |
| Fougner | planetheroes, yup | 00:35 |
| planetheroes | the program i was referring to was rtorrent. it can start, torrents can load | 00:36 |
| planetheroes | but it tries to connect to the tracker and times out | 00:36 |
| Fougner | planetheroes, I assume your .rtorrent.rc is configured correctly =) | 00:36 |
| planetheroes | yeah | 00:36 |
| planetheroes | it's a good .rtorrent.rc - one i've used on other distros | 00:36 |
| jrib1 | !enter | planetheroes | 00:36 |
| ubottu | planetheroes: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:36 |
| planetheroes | sorry | 00:36 |
| === DaemonDEB` is now known as DaemonDEB | ||
| jrib1 | planetheroes: did you see any iptables rules listed with the command I gave you? | 00:37 |
| IntuitiveNipple | tonsofpcs: try this streamlined version awk '{if (!( $0 in lines)) print $0; lines[$0]=1;}' in.file >out.file | 00:37 |
| Fougner | planetheroes, how many times has rtorrent tried to reconncet? | 00:37 |
| planetheroes | oh, sorry. yes i did. The port i have rtorrent listening on is 63035. my iptables -L shows: | 00:37 |
| planetheroes | ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:63035 | 00:37 |
| planetheroes | it just keeps trying and trying. | 00:37 |
| Fougner | what tracker? =) | 00:38 |
| Fougner | tried others? | 00:38 |
| tonsofpcs | IntuitiveNipple: sort | uniq -d works | 00:38 |
| jrib1 | planetheroes: iptables -F will flush the rules. You can see if that affects it | 00:38 |
| IntuitiveNipple | tonsofpcs: Yes, but that is because sort puts all similar lines together first. I asked you at the beginning about contiguous or random lines and as a result thought you wanted to maintain the lines in order | 00:38 |
| Fougner | planetheroes, I'd like to see your config, can you pastebin it? | 00:39 |
| hobo | Anyone know how to get a broadband card working? | 00:39 |
| planetheroes | I have tried several trackers. and jrib1: i just tried that, same thing. Fougner will do right away. | 00:39 |
| jrib1 | planetheroes: not iptables then | 00:39 |
| planetheroes | Fougner: http://pastebin.com/d7370a13e | 00:40 |
| riplay | hi | 00:40 |

| PerryArmstrong | sebsebseb; yes i do face those problems and i get frustrated, i suppose epiphany doesn't give such problems | 00:58 |

| PerryArmstrong | sebsebseb; okk i am looking for a browser which doesn't give me any flash problems and is as good as firefox | 01:01 |
| sprinkmeier | pHreaksYcle1, is live CD does not work then HW is probably poorly supported. Can you boot into recover mode (i.e. text only)? video drivers are a likely source of problems. | 01:01 |
| sebsebseb | PerryArmstrong Dreamglider for browser marketshare reasons it would probably be best to browse the web with Firefox most of the time, by the way | 01:01 |

| sprinkmeier | pHreaksYcle1, OK... so it's in graphics rather than text mode. You logged into failsafe mode from GDM rather than rebooting and choosing the 'recovery' option? No problem, it seems that all is working, but that when it tries to load the 'real' X server it dies. Looks like video problems to me, don't know much about those I'm afraid. | 01:06 |

| khmer42 | I've exectued a program on the command line and when it load it doesn't give me the command line back it just sits there spitting out log messages (expected behaviour), how can I get the command line back without stopping the app? | 01:12 |
| socerboy | hey | 01:12 |
| nightdrever | how do i get thunderbird working with hotmail and yahoo? | 01:12 |
| unop | khmer42, ctrl+z | 01:12 |
| sprinkmeier | khmer42, CNTRL-Z | 01:12 |
| Anna_111 | thanks sebsebseb.. also do you know how I can set a root password because I do not want to log in to my system with a user password that is also a root password | 01:12 |
| unop | khmer42, that will suspend the job - to resume it you have to option. use bg to send it in the background or fg to bring it into the foreground. | 01:13 |
| sprinkmeier | Anna_111, sudo passwd root | 01:13 |
| PerryArmstrong | can anyone tell me how i can wake my system only by a keyboard stroke and not by mouse movement | 01:13 |
| unop | khmer42, s/to/two/ | 01:13 |
| Unguided | hello all. can someone pls tell if asus m2avm-hdmi mobo is fully supported in 810. thanks | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | Anna_111: you can have a seperate root account however | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | !root | 01:13 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 01:13 |
| PerryArmstrong | can anyone tell me how i can wake my system only by a keyboard stroke and remove the waking up by mouse movement | 01:14 |
| khmer42 | Thanks I was already doing the Ctrl-z but didn't know about bg. | 01:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | PerryArmstrong: disable wakeups for the mouse device | 01:14 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | PerryArmstrong: look in settings and crap. that's a tiny option somewhere | 01:14 |
| PerryArmstrong | IntuitiveNipple; where do i do that | 01:15 |
| underdog7 | can someone tell me a good newgroups software for ubuntu? | 01:15 |

| smitty__ | I have an ubuntu 8.10 server hosted with Mosso that I'm trying to configure. I have root access so the first thing that I did was add a user account for myself. I've logged in with that new account but now instead of getting a prompt that says "smitty@mysever:~$" i get something that just says $. My tab complete is now also not working? Are these problems connected and how could I get tab complete working? | 01:17 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | smitty__: type login | 01:18 |
| smitty__ | pHreaksYcle1, it says "no utmp entry' | 01:18 |
| dr_willis | smitty__: edit your .bashrc/.bash_profile to set a prompt and enable bash_completion | 01:19 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | smitty__: idk, just a shot in the dark. | 01:19 |
| dr_willis | smitty__: check out the example .bashrc/.bash_profile in /etc/skel | 01:19 |
| PerryArmstrong | dr_willis; can you tell me how i can wake my system only by a keyboard stroke and remove the waking up by mouse movement | 01:19 |
| smitty__ | dr_willis, okay I'll check that out. Thanks | 01:19 |
| dr_willis | smitty__: how did you add the user account ? i normally use the adduser command. | 01:20 |
| dr_willis | PerryArmstrong: no idea. I dont let my systems sleep :P | 01:20 |

| jimisrvrox | hey guys I have a WUSB54GCSv2 and I tried ndiswrapper to get the win drivers to work with ubuntu 8.10 and havent been able to do anything..searching the net hasnt turned up much of anything either anybody else had any luck with these nic's? | 01:22 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | Akkernight: just a guess. most people have 32 bit. check for yourself. go into a terminal and type uname -a | 01:22 |
| Akkernight | pHreaksycle, x86_64 | 01:23 |
| WNxZiggurat | I feel so foreign here...I downloaded Ubuntu and am hesitant about using it, since I'm a gamer...however I've been told you can emulate windows on top of Ubuntu so you can run windows games...true? | 01:23 |
| Akkernight | pHreaksycle, does that mean I have 64bit ? | 01:23 |
| Akuma_s | Falstius, I had the same issue, if the screen is well configurated with any user, only try login in and out of any of it, it worked with me... | 01:24 |

| sam555 | hello all! | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: virtualmachine is good, but not for 3D games | 01:24 |

| sam555 | where is the samba config file located in ubuntu 8.04? | 01:24 |
| DIFH-iceroot | WNxZiggurat: yes you xan run windows-games on linux, but not all | 01:24 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | WNxZiggurat: you will not be able to play games in a virtual box | 01:24 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | Akkernight: yup. | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: you can get quite a lot of Windows games workin in Wine or commercial versions. Linux has it's own good native games as well | 01:24 |
| l337m4573r | can anyone help me sovle problem im having with using python on ubuntu? | 01:25 |
| WNxZiggurat | so i take it retail games like WoW, Rainbow Six Vegas, Battlefield 2, etc, are gonna have trouble or not run? | 01:25 |
| smitty__ | how do i remove a user from the command line? | 01:25 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: and soon Codeweavers Games a commercial version of Wine, will have proper suppourt for Directx 10, and then you should be able to play most of your Windows games nicely in Linux | 01:25 |
| schnauzer | I've accidentally deleted my "Window Manager" entry in my Sessions dialog box. Will someone please look in their seesions box and tell me what they have? | 01:25 |

| mannytu | I do not think 64 bit system are not 100% backwards compatible if you are running scripts... | 01:26 |
| syro | i at all | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: for now you may have a reason to dual boot Windows, as in for things that won't work in Wine or commercial versions, or in a virtual machine. ,but soon you probably won't have much of a reason to boot that Windows install up, since the stuff I said | 01:26 |
| syro | hi | 01:26 |
| syro | :D | 01:26 |
| sharath_ | you might not be able to delete files from trash because those files belong to root | 01:26 |

| shippo | I can not get pyneighborhood 0.5 to connect to a share point after installing on xubuntu 8.10, any known issues? | 01:31 |
| sharath_ | dimitree : not really | 01:31 |

| dimitree | sharath_, you have courage :) i'm more of a quick and durty fixer, in this case ill install opensuse lol | 01:32 |
| dimitree | what the hack is going on o-o | 01:32 |
| WNxZiggurat | sigh, i have crazy questions that are soo noobish for ubuntu i'm afraid to ask them, because haven't even installed the OS yet, out of fear of lack of knowledge... | 01:32 |
| sharath_ | dimitree : lol... Its no bravery. I'm a struggling learner. Fixing this works out easier than learning a whole new game | 01:33 |
| dimitree | sharath_ o well thanks for the support buddy take care :) | 01:33 |
| sharath_ | <WNxZiggurat> : Go ahead and ask your questions | 01:33 |
| sixofour | !alsa | 01:34 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:34 |
| sixofour | hrm,is there an alsa channel? | 01:34 |
| WNxZiggurat | well, things like program installation peak my list of questions...i take it installation for programs in Ubuntu is different from say, windows? | 01:34 |
| marcc | how can I tell what causes a load average of 12.08? | 01:34 |
| sharath_ | dimitree : you're welcome any day pal | 01:34 |
| marcc | none of my applications will start and htop shows firefox at 7% cpu | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: :) | 01:35 |
| shippo | anyone? | 01:35 |
| sharath_ | WNxZiggurat : Yes. It is different and maybe easier than windows once you get the hang of it | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: installing most software in Ubuntu is much easier than Windows | 01:35 |
| WNxZiggurat | how so? | 01:35 |
| syro | someone can help me with dma? | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: most software you would ever want in Ubuntu, you can get from a slow graphical package manager, think of add or remove programs in Windows, but one where you can search for programs and download them | 01:35 |
| WNxZiggurat | that's pretty cool actually | 01:35 |
| hlfshell | So i created a softlink in /usr/bin/ in order to create a command so i can run a program stored in my home folder. This works perfectly when executed in a terminal, but does NOT work when I have a shortcut on my panel execute that command . What could be going wrong? | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: then there is the command line let's say for example you were going to install Abiword a rather nice Microsoft Word alternative: sudo apt-get install abiword | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: command and programname | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: and it downloads and installs it for you in the terminal, much quicker than the slow graphical ways | 01:36 |
| sharath_ | WNxZiggurat : first of all, instead of the installers that you get in windows, you have what are known as 'Packages' | 01:36 |
| sharath_ | WNxZiggurat : so what you do when you want a piece of software is install a 'package' | 01:37 |
| sharath_ | WNxZiggurat : with me so far? | 01:37 |
| WNxZiggurat | please, go on | 01:37 |
| Akuma_s | Linux depends so damn much in Internet, I hate that... | 01:37 |
| dingleberry | anyone noticed on hulu.com lag even when out of fullscreen , with firefox and the latest flash? | 01:37 |
| sharath_ | WNxZiggurat : so these packages are downloaded from the internet from servers known as repositories or 'repos' for short | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | Akuma_s: look in the built in Ubuntu help there is quite a bit for offline installs in there | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | Akuma_s: I meant info in there for offline installs | 01:38 |
| sharath_ | WNxZiggurat : these packages also depend on other bits of code for their routine working and such pieces of code that these packages depend on are called 'dependencies' | 01:39 |
| Akuma_s | I know sebsebseb, to get the dependencies... is a mess with out Internet... | 01:39 |
| sharath_ | WNxZiggurat : any doubts? | 01:39 |
| WNxZiggurat | doubts about ubuntu or the process of installing? | 01:39 |
| WNxZiggurat | i have my doubts with ubuntu based on how much of a gamer i am, but i'm looking to branch out a little, and have more fun with my computer than just gaming | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: the installer is pretty straight forward, but to do a really good install, you have to set it up manualley :D however the guided installs are also ok | 01:40 |
| sharath_ | WNxZiggurat : i was explaining the underlying theory so that you can follow my logic | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: dual boot the computer, Windows and Ubuntu | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: then later on you will probably be able to get rid of Windows :d | 01:40 |
| WNxZiggurat | well, i'm willing to just dive into ubuntu and feel it out | 01:40 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | hey gord | 01:41 |
| bob_brain | I'm trying to restore my ubuntu install after I installed windows xp. I'm having trouble restoring the grub bootloader as I cannot load into my install which already exists | 01:41 |
| shippo | perhaps i am going about this wrong, I am trying to mount a windows shared folder, I have installed smb, but can not mount the folder yet | 01:41 |
| sixofour | Is there a way to record the output of my sound device? In windows this is done by routing the output [stereo mix] to the input [mic in] | 01:41 |
| WNxZiggurat | i have very little data to back up, but that leads to another question...ubuntu will work with music i have right now, right? | 01:41 |
| shippo | any information would be greatly appreciated | 01:41 |

| zamba | i need ubuntu packages for php4, mysql4 and apache2.. where can i find these? | 01:42 |
| sixofour | zamba: use "apt-cache search" | 01:42 |

| shippo | thanks pHreaksYclel | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | !lamp | zamba | 01:42 |
| ubottu | zamba: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

| sixofour | oh | 01:43 |
| sixofour | i don't know then :( | 01:43 |
| sixofour | Is there a way to record the output of my sound device? In windows this is done by routing the output [stereo mix] to the input [mic in]\ | 01:43 |
| zamba | sixofour: i'm talking about php4 and mysql4 | 01:43 |
| sixofour | sorry zamba beyond apt-get i don't know | 01:43 |
| WNxZiggurat | i just game (WoW, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, GRID, CoD5, etc) and listen to music right now...wanting to play with Ubuntu to see how much more I can do with my computer...I'm great with windows, but this is really just an excuse to try something new | 01:43 |
| Time`s_Witness | what languages can gdb debug by the way? C, C++, anything else? Or maybe the right question is what can't it debug? xD | 01:43 |

| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: oh and I have helped quite a few people set up great partition set ups, be that Ubuntu only or Ubuntu and Windows dual booting | 01:44 |
| sixofour | duel booting is nasty imho | 01:44 |
| samd | zamba, php5 is in the repositories | 01:44 |
| sixofour | you end up having to reboot 15-20 times a day | 01:44 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | can someone please, for the love of god, give me some tips on how to fix my graphics issues? | 01:44 |
| zamba | samd: sure, but i need php4 | 01:44 |
| sebsebseb | sixofour: lol that depends | 01:45 |
| sixofour | i liek to reboot once a monht | 01:45 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | sixofour: you did something wrong. dual booting is flawless for thousands | 01:45 |
| sixofour | i didn't do anything wrong | 01:45 |

| nightrid3r | zamba: install php5 and set zend_compitibility in the conf | 01:45 |
| sixofour | you have to reboot to change your OS | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: you would get most of your stuff working natively or with wine or whatever, and then a virtual machine. and a dual boot as last resort :) | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: that would be a good set up | 01:45 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: oh? tell me more.. | 01:45 |
| sixofour | besides why use such an obsolete mothod..duel booting?..just get a virtual machine | 01:45 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: finally some useful information here:) | 01:45 |
| WNxZiggurat | well, for now, i'm getting ready to get it running using VMWare to see how it'll perform just as a basic OS | 01:46 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: it will make php5 run like php4 | 01:46 |
| sixofour | then you don't have to boot anything | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: for Windows games you need Wine or commercial versions. ,but 2D games will run in a virtual machine | 01:46 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: perfect! | 01:46 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: google for the exact setting | 01:46 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: where were you one week ago? :) | 01:46 |
| sixofour | Is there a way to record the output of my sound device? In windows this is done by routing the output [stereo mix] to the input [mic in]\ | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: I would recommend virtualbox and you need binary from their site for USB suppourt | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: you can also try Ubuntu in another way that is more real | 01:46 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: drunk maybe :) | 01:46 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: and the following days? i've been asking about this in here for days :) | 01:46 |
| Impy | Hi how do I go about making ubuntu automount a partition on boot, So I don't have to keep clicking places then the harddrive? | 01:46 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: hehe.. i'll buy you one if this works out :) | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: and install it and uninstall it like a Windows application, I normalley woudn't recommend this, because it then puts Ubuntu inside a section of your Windows partition | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | WNxZiggurat: so basically it dual boots and you get the Windows boot loader and the Linux boot loader Grub, but it is not like a real proper partition set up, and so I would only recommend for trying if at all | 01:47 |
| RichardWolfVI | Hey, how do I change the Firefox UI language. | 01:47 |
| RichardWolfVI | ? | 01:47 |
| lightdragon | hey i have a question which I originally thought was c++/boost related... but I think it might be related to my ineptitude with ubuntu... I'm trying to compile the boost libraries... but it's not working... would anyone know anything about this? | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | !wubi | WNxZiggurat | 01:47 |
| ubottu | WNxZiggurat: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 01:47 |
| jrib | lightdragon: why are you trying to compile the boost libraries...? | 01:47 |
| Athenon_ | 216.73.123.11.....can someone tell me if it's a nonpingable host or if it really doesnt exist? | 01:47 |
| lightdragon | jrib: because I need to use them for the program that I'm writing | 01:48 |
| Akkernight | how do I install insight-6.9 | 01:48 |
| Akkernight | ? | 01:48 |
| anthonyyaco | advice on video card, dual monitors, for intel card, vostro 1400 laptop | 01:49 |
| anthonyyaco | please? | 01:49 |
| RichardWolfVI | Athenon_: http://who.is/whois-ip/ip-address/216.73.123.11/ | 01:49 |
| jrib | lightdragon: do you know what APT is? | 01:49 |
| nightrid3r | 13 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 11999ms | 01:49 |
| nightrid3r | 01:49 | |
| Athenon_ | yeah i know...its like the host is down or something -_- | 01:49 |
| nightrid3r | Athenon_: --^ | 01:49 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: argh, didn't work | 01:50 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | nightrid3r, that means it's broken | 01:50 |
| sixofour | Is there a way to record the output of my sound device? In windows this is done by routing the output [stereo mix] to the input [mic in]\ | 01:50 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: i've set this in .htaccess and ran phpinfo(); to check to make sure that the setting got activated | 01:50 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: upgrade scripts to php5 then | 01:50 |
| zamba | zend.ze1_compatibility_mode was the setting | 01:50 |
| anthonyyaco | because i am having alot of problems trying to run a dual screens not cloned and make the primary one on my laptop | 01:51 |
| RichardWolfVI | Any help with setting my Firefox Locale? | 01:51 |
| zamba | *sigh* | 01:51 |
| lightdragon | jrib: that's the package manager right?... I noticed that there is boost inthere, but it is an old version. I'm using a newer one. The older one doesn't mesh with my new code... I'm coding on windows and ubuntu at the same time... Or at least trying too... I haven't been able to code on Ubuntu for my project ever since I involved boost since I can't get it to compile properly.... it tells me that it skipped | 01:51 |
| lightdragon | 7320 targets and updated 707 targets | 01:51 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: yup thats the one | 01:51 |
| zamba | it's not my scripts :p | 01:51 |
| Akkernight | The guy who invented Ubuntu or Linux is a genious! Just so you peeps know xP | 01:51 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | Akkernight: that would be me | 01:51 |
| zamba | i'm just porting the application to linux | 01:51 |
| b_9 | I can't ssh from work to home, but used to be able to and can if I delete all my ssh software and restart... it notes some kind of error but lets me log in the first time... | 01:51 |
| nightrid3r | Akkernight: that would be a few thousend people | 01:51 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | Akkernight: just kidding. you should read some wikipedia. | 01:52 |
| jrib | !compile | lightdragon | 01:52 |

| mac2612 | is there maybe a FAQ for suspend issues? | 01:52 |

| MindShifter | woohoo lots of ubuntu people here | 01:53 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | MindShifter: good call | 01:53 |
| b_9 | be back soon... | 01:53 |
| lightdragon | jrib: thanks i'm looking at that now... | 01:53 |
| anthonyyaco | Chousuke: i need graphics help to kinda. anyone? | 01:53 |

| jrib | lightdragon: honestly though if it's really the case that the versions in the package manager can't suit your needs you should look for a distro with bleeding edge packages. It's more likely to break, but you can at least use it to install your dev requirements | 01:54 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: so rewriting the code isn't an option | 01:54 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: i need php4 (and not as a cgi either, since i set a lot of php values in .htaccess files) | 01:54 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: remove php5 and compile php4 yourselfe | 01:54 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: but this will probably break unmentionable things | 01:55 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | anthonyyaco: what's ur issue, perhaps i can assist | 01:55 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: and i need to compile it as a module for apache and not as a cgi | 01:55 |
| lightdragon | jrib: how do i find that? And so far as I know that doesn't exist for the boost libraries... For some reason as much as I search for prepackaged/precompiled things for boost, they just don't seem to exist | 01:55 |
| anthonyyaco | Dual Monitor problems with intel card anyone help me find a good driver and way to install. i am not familiar with how ubuntu handles this | 01:55 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: ask in #php they will be able to help better | 01:56 |
| anthonyyaco | thanks PHreaks | 01:56 |
| jrib | lightdragon: tried arch for example? (though we should move to #ubuntu-offtopic) | 01:56 |
| macman | guys | 01:56 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | i dont really think theres any special driver you need | 01:56 |
| jrib | lightdragon: or even debian | 01:56 |
| Ignatius | o_O there's a #php? | 01:56 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | you need to see what graphics driver you have | 01:56 |
| * Ignatius runs to join | 01:56 | |
| anthonyyaco | uhmm i try to plug in a monitor and i just cant get it to make the primary screen my laptop | 01:57 |
| macman | there a way to install touchpad software and not use the defualt drivers / software that come with a ubuntu install ? | 01:57 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | anthonyyaco: then google it, along with dual monitor | 01:57 |
| nightrid3r | Ignatius: there is probably a # for any project | 01:57 |
| lightdragon | jrib: I'll meet you in #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:57 |
| anthonyyaco | dude i did and i can not find anything for intel cards. all i get is stuff for nvidia | 01:58 |
| Akkernight | how do I get a insight.exe ...? | 01:58 |
| nightrid3r | !wine | Akkernight | 01:58 |
| ubottu | Akkernight: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help | 01:58 |
| Akkernight | yeah, but how do I download it? | 01:59 |
| anthonyyaco | pHreaksYcle1: can we get our own chatroom or something? it is so hard to do anything in here. | 01:59 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | anthonyyaco: start a private chat with me. | 01:59 |
| Eressolar | hrm. i noticed in /etc/sysctl.conf in 8.04, all of the "additional settings" setting components are separated by / not a . as with the rest of the settings. in 8.10, all are seperated with a period. should i be concerned about 8.04's, then? | 02:00 |
| Akkernight | does anyone know where I can download insight.exe ? | 02:01 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | Akkernight, for windows? | 02:01 |
| Akkernight | I'm supposed to run it using wine | 02:02 |
| Droopsta915 | I like Linux and wish to keep learning. Anyone know a good place to start looking for entry level Linux jobs in Colorado? | 02:02 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Akkernight: google | 02:02 |
| Akkernight | I've tried google | 02:02 |
| marcc | Droopsta915: a local user group perhaps? I've found jobs that way | 02:02 |
| samd | zamba, i found some php4 packages for older ubuntu versions, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=php4 | 02:03 |
| Droopsta915 | marcc:yes very god, I didn't think of that. Thank you. I am on a mission to land a Linux job. | 02:03 |
| TwoToneSpirit | Hey everybody! | 02:03 |
| zamba | samd: how can i install these on ubuntu hardy? | 02:03 |
| shippo | anyone have experience with xubuntu? | 02:04 |
| Akkernight | I'm in a hurry, does anyone know where I can download insight.exe which I'm supposed to run using wine, thanks in advance! | 02:04 |
| DIFH-iceroot | samd: sudo apt-get install php4 but why using php4 instead of php5? | 02:04 |
| zamba | DIFH-iceroot: he was helping me out | 02:04 |
| samd | zamba, download them, they are deb packages | 02:04 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Akkernight: If you're in hurry maybe you should read the instructions I gave you earlier, and check out the mingw site as per the link it provides | 02:04 |
| zamba | DIFH-iceroot: and i need to run php4 because of incompabilities | 02:04 |
| samd | DIFH-iceroot: php4 its not in intrepids repos | 02:04 |
| Akkernight | I'm reading it, that's where I got the instructions to download this, but the link they provide is empty, I'm not completely retarded | 02:05 |
| jimisrvrox | hey guys I have a WUSB54GCSv2 and I tried ndiswrapper to get the win drivers to work with ubuntu 8.10 and havent been able to do anything..searching the net hasnt turned up much of anything either anybody else had any luck with these nic's? | 02:05 |
| bigrigger | Akkernight: ask the persons or person that told you are supposed to run insight.exe | 02:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Akkernight: So explore the Sourceforge project downloads lists until you find it then! | 02:05 |
| samd | zamba : ive installed older versions packages and worked fine with me, not sure if this specific package will work, it should, as far as i know | 02:05 |
| Akkernight | I have also done that, I downloaded some insight for Linux, I need it in .exe format | 02:06 |
| IntuitiveNipple | bigrigger: He's reading the instructions from the Code:Blocks Wiki I pointed him to, but their link is slightly old so when you follow it you have to use some lateral thinking to find the file | 02:06 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | IntuitiveNipple, that's the best nick i have ever seen | 02:06 |
| zamba | samd: fingers crossed :p | 02:06 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Akkernight: If I can find it in 30 seconds as I did, I'm sure you can! | 02:06 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Akkernight: google with "insight.exe download" | 02:06 |

| shippo | xubuntu anyone? | 02:07 |
| Akkernight | I have googled that, I found some buisness thing | 02:07 |

| DIFH-iceroot | !anyone | shippo | 02:07 |

| Akkernight | IntuitiveNipple, ... You knew what you were looking for, right? xP | 02:07 |
| samd | zamba, yup :p, | 02:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Akkernight: No. I've never looked at that before, I just used my brain! | 02:08 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: http://www.dotdeb.org/2008/08/23/php-449-available/ | 02:08 |
| shippo | can not get a shared windows folder to show up in xubuntu with pyneighborhood, with samba already installed. any ideas? | 02:08 |
| zamba | samd: apache2.2-common conflicts with libapache2-mod-php4 (<= 4:4.4.4-2) | 02:08 |
| zamba | argh! | 02:08 |
| zamba | of course | 02:08 |
| Akkernight | IntuitiveNipple, I have no brain... xP Seriously, I tried finding it, waited 20 mins to download the wrong thing too -.- | 02:08 |
| CarlFK | what gif-dev thing do I need to install to appease: LFLAGS += -lgif | 02:09 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | I REALLY NEED SOME HELP | 02:09 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | when i log in, i get a black screen and a mouse | 02:09 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | does ANYONE know wtf is going on | 02:09 |
| samd | zamva :// | 02:09 |
| samd | zamba :// | 02:09 |
| doleyb | pHreaksYcle1: that sounds bad! does control-alt-f1 help?? | 02:09 |
| IntuitiveNipple | pHreaksYcle1: dual monitors? | 02:09 |
| zamba | i'm so tired of banging my head against the wall with this | 02:09 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | IntuitiveNipple: nope. just one plain old monitor on a plain old machine. which is why this is frustrating. | 02:10 |
| zamba | i'll try getting apache2.2-common | 02:10 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | hey, what's a good size for the swap file? | 02:11 |
| doleyb | XtrHotMarSpy: about the same size as your RAM | 02:11 |
| bigrigger | zamba: use synaptic, search for php, use the php version with the ubuntu logo, probably php5 | 02:11 |
| IntuitiveNipple | pHreaksYcle1: ahh ok, you mentioned that for someone else. So what's your symptoms? | 02:11 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | doleyb, that's about what i thought. | 02:11 |
| Akkernight | How do I move something using the terminal? I'm getting permission denied, and I guess sudo will help | 02:11 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | I log in, get a black screen, and a mouse | 02:11 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | that's all | 02:11 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | anyone else got any swap file size advice? | 02:11 |
| doleyb | Akkernight: well, sudo mv oldplace newplace #but be careful movin stuff! | 02:12 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XtrHotMarSpy: About 1.5x size of RAM *if* you want to hibernate and use the swap partition for it | 02:12 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | IntuitiveNipple, sounds good too. | 02:12 |
| shippo | can not get a shared windows folder to show up in xubuntu with pyneighborhood, with samba already installed. any ideas? | 02:12 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | any other estimates? | 02:12 |
| zamba | bigrigger: for the fourth time.. i NEED to use php4 | 02:12 |
| nightrid3r | XtrHotMarSpy: 1.5 - 2.0 X ram size | 02:13 |
| Cano`Away | hi | 02:13 |
| Cano`Away | DCC SEND C:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ | 02:13 |
| funkyHat | zamba: I'm sure you've been told this countless times already but php4 is no longer supported, it's been unsupported for over a year, I would strongly suggest fixing your software so it works with php5 | 02:13 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | ok, next question ... how can i change the size of the swap file? | 02:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | pHreaksYcle1: we need more information. What kind of PC? what video card? Which Ubuntu release? have you installed any proprietary (restricted) drivers? have you 'played' with the xorg.conf ? | 02:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XtrHotMarSpy: Is it a swap partition or a file? | 02:14 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | IntuitiveNipple, the partition. | 02:14 |
| zamba | funkyHat: and again, it's not my software, so fixing several thousand lines of code is not an option right now :) | 02:14 |
| zenlunatic | IntuitiveNipple, he should use fdisk right? | 02:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XtrHotMarSpy: That depends on whether there's free disk space above before the next partition | 02:14 |
| pHreaksYcle1 | IntuitiveNipple: dell dimension 2400. intel graphics. 8.10. its a fresh install. all i did to the xorg was redo it will all of the default options to see if that would fix anything | 02:14 |
| hotmonkeyluv | what's the command to see what version kernel I have? | 02:14 |
| space_cadet | hey guys... How's about a fix... I want Thunderbird and Lightning to integrate into the calendar app under the clock in the gnome-panel so it shows appointments stored in lightning OR sunbird. | 02:14 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | IntuitiveNipple, i wanna make it smaller | 02:14 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: is it a new server install?? | 02:14 |
| Akkernight | what's a shell script? | 02:15 |
| anubis | Hi, can some one help me, I installed Wubi ,but I don't have root user access, how can I get it? | 02:15 |
| zenlunatic | Otacon22, uname -a | 02:15 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XtrHotMarSpy: That's unusual :) You've got the easy job then! | 02:15 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | IntuitiveNipple, okies. what? | 02:15 |
| nightrid3r | !root | anubis | 02:15 |
| ubottu | anubis: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 02:15 |
| zenlunatic | hotmonkeyluv, uname -a | 02:15 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: yeah | 02:15 |
| hotmonkeyluv | Akkernight, it's a list of shell commands that the terminal does in order | 02:15 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XtrHotMarSpy: Do you want to reclaim the freed space for something else though? | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | anubis: wubi is good for trying, but then you should partition your hard disk properly later on | 02:15 |
| hotmonkeyluv | zenlunatic, thanks | 02:15 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: k lemme check something | 02:15 |
| space_cadet | anyone a wiz with gnome-panel? | 02:15 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | IntuitiveNipple, yeah, i want to make it part of the system partition | 02:15 |
| Akkernight | hotmonkeyluv, how do I make a shell script? | 02:15 |

| funkyHat | !ask | space_cadet | 02:16 |
| ubottu | space_cadet: 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. :-) | 02:16 |
| zenlunatic | anubis, sudo -s | 02:16 |
| space_cadet | funkyhat i did | 02:16 |
| zamba | i'm about to go crazy here.. i tried pulling down apache2-common.. but it again depended on apache2-utils.. so i pulled that too down, hoping this finally was the end of the rabbit hole.. oh no.. apache2-utils requires two other packages that the current version is to new for | 02:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | pHreaksYcle1: ok.... first you need to boot into Recovery mode so you have a text console and root permissions to actually explore and fix things. You can get to Recovery mode from the GRUB boot menu when the PC starts. | 02:16 |
| zamba | too new* | 02:16 |
| anubis | so basically, with Wubi, I don't have the option to load into root user? | 02:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XtrHotMarSpy: OK, now you've made it difficult again! | 02:16 |
| space_cadet | !askthebot >ubottu | 02:16 |
| ubottu | space_cadet, please see my private message | 02:16 |
| zenlunatic | IntuitiveNipple, yeah just boot to runlevel 1 | 02:16 |

| ubottu | funkyHat, please see my private message | 02:16 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | IntuitiveNipple, that's what linux is for, isn't it? :) | 02:16 |
| Akkernight | ok, figured it out! | 02:17 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | IntuitiveNipple, it's probably easier to just reinstall, right? | 02:17 |
| thiebaude | Hi IntuitiveNipple | 02:17 |
| shippo | can not get a shared windows folder to show up in xubuntu with pyneighborhood, with samba already installed. any ideas? | 02:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XtrHotMarSpy: It means you have to 1) disable swap. 2) use cfdisk or fdisk to shrink the swap partition 3) recreate the swap with mkswap 4) the difficult bit - move the next partition down then expand it then grow the file-system inside it. | 02:18 |
| doleyb | shippo: I'd learn the ip address and type that directly, instead of trying to browse for it | 02:18 |
| space_cadet | anyone a wiz with gnome-panel? | 02:18 |
| shippo | did that no go | 02:18 |
| funkyHat | space_cadet: ah so I see. sorry. What's displayed by the calendar applet is what's stored in evolution data server, so if you want lightning or sunbird's appointments to show up there you'll have to figure out some way of syncing them up with evolution | 02:18 |
| space_cadet | i was afraid of that | 02:18 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | IntuitiveNipple, yeah, it's easier just to install it again :) | 02:19 |
| space_cadet | nvm then | 02:19 |
| space_cadet | thanks funkyHat | 02:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | XtrHotMarSpy: Honestly - if you've got no data/settings to loose, for a novice, yes it is | 02:19 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | IntuitiveNipple, yep | 02:19 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | IntuitiveNipple, thanks | 02:19 |

| nightrid3r | zamba: centos 4 still provides php4 support | 02:20 |
| hotmonkeyluv | Akkernight, look online, there are some really good tutorials on it | 02:20 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: cant find anything to get php4 going on ubuntu besides compiling it yourslef | 02:20 |
| Akkernight | why does code::blocks say "std::tr1" hasn't been declared, still intellisense shows some tr1 info? | 02:21 |
| shippo | doleyb: I tried that and it was a no go, any other ideas? | 02:21 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: maybe just go for centos 4 then | 02:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Akkernight: not sure, but that looks like a library class constant | 02:22 |
| doleyb | shippo: nmap windowsbox | 02:22 |
| Akkernight | Aha! Boost, forgot that, thanks! | 02:22 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: seems like the easy way, but talk to your software supplier cos php4 support will run out on centos too | 02:22 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: i only need it for another month or so | 02:23 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: but i need it -now- :p | 02:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Akkernight: I'll be following you shortly. Just started writing a cross-platform app for webcam/video/audio/text over P2P and it has to work on Linux/Windows/OSX :) | 02:23 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: attack them download servers :) | 02:23 |
| funkyHat | zamba: could you install an older version of ubuntu? ubuntu 6.06 LTS is still supported for a server install | 02:24 |
| funkyHat | zamba: if you only need it temporarily | 02:24 |
| zamba | funkyHat: but does that have php4? | 02:24 |
| Akkernight | P2P as in peer-to-peer ? Also, if you want to contact me, I'm on MSN at jacobsen92@hotmail.com and email at www.itj@gmail.com, but I ain't 100% sure I understood you correctly xP | 02:24 |
| samd | zamba, dapper supports php4, i duno if dapper is 6.06 | 02:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | zamba: why not install an older OS version in a chroot or VM ? | 02:25 |
| lstarnes | samd: it is 6.06 | 02:25 |
| funkyHat | zamba: yes | 02:25 |
| shippo | doleyb: at a command prompt? | 02:25 |
| samd | lstarnes, ight thanks | 02:25 |
| nightrid3r | Akkernight: you realise you just gave your mail to spammers, this # is logged publicaly | 02:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Akkernight: Yes, distributed multiuser conferencing and streaming | 02:25 |
| zamba | funkyHat: what version of mysql there? | 02:25 |
| funkyHat | zamba: 5.0.22 | 02:26 |
| zamba | oh, i was hoping for 4.x | 02:26 |
| zamba | that would've been perfect | 02:26 |
| Akkernight | nightrid3r, I don't care xP They can spam me as much as they want, I have a block option ;) and I might need to use that IntuitiveNipple ;) | 02:26 |
| crdlb | zamba: it has both, I believe | 02:27 |
| doleyb | shippo: yeah, first apt-get install nmap if you need it... that's not super-helpful though. Next step is smbclient //windowsbox/drive | 02:27 |
| funkyHat | I'm thinking it probably has both, but I can't find mysql4 on p.u.c | 02:27 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Anyone know how to get to the Xubuntu logout panel button with only the keys, or the hotkey combo for it? (touchpad disconnected) | 02:28 |
| samd | zamba | 02:28 |
| funkyHat | zamba: yes it does, it has 4.1 too | 02:28 |
| zamba | oh | 02:28 |
| samd | zamba Package mysql-client-4.1 | 02:28 |
| samd | * dapper (misc): mysql database client binaries [universe 4.1.15-1ubuntu5: amd64 i386 powerpc | 02:28 |
| zamba | i'll do that | 02:28 |

| funkyHat | yes | 02:28 |

| lstarnes | paulocelso68: "never mind, that was a typo" | 02:31 |
| O__o | how do i disable the key on the keyboard so i dont hit it accidently? | 02:31 |
| paulocelso68 | suspend mode does not work correctly. | 02:31 |
| paulocelso68 | Ubuntu "sleeps" but doesn't awake. | 02:31 |
| DIFH-iceroot | O__o: energy-options and there you can choose what happend if you hit the key | 02:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | DIFH-iceroot: I'm debugging a resume-immediately issue on a Vaio notebook and have got in it bits with most device connectors unplugged including the touchpad to try and find out which hardware device is injecting a wakeup interrupt :) | 02:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | DIFH-iceroot: seems like I've disconnected one thing too many | 02:32 |
| zamba | good thing this is a vmware server :p | 02:33 |
| O__o | i go into power management preferences and found there is an option "When the suspend button is pressed:" | 02:33 |
| O__o | do i change it to "do nothing"?? | 02:33 |

| paulocelso68 | I am having some issues with samsung 2263uw lcd monitor. The webcam doesn't work. Can anybody help me? | 02:33 |
| nightrid3r | zamba: vmware rulez | 02:33 |
| O__o | how come when the suspend doesnt work in ubuntu and it is still there in ubuntu? | 02:33 |
| LurkersA | 0__o, That would just stop it working all together, is that what you want? | 02:33 |
| LurkersA | Suspend works fine for me | 02:33 |
| simard | I have a usb key that I completely dd'ed to a file.. now I would like to mount -o loop the vfat partition within this file (keep in mind the file is the whole key, along with the partition table). Is this possible ? | 02:33 |
| DIFH-iceroot | O__o: its working but not with all hardware | 02:34 |
| O__o | in my netbook i can goto sleep and wake up using ubuntu, is there different between laptop and desktop? | 02:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | O__o: works fine here too on 3 pcs | 02:34 |
| zamba | nightrid3r: indeed it does :) | 02:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | O__o: yes, the hardware is the difference | 02:34 |
| O__o | maybe something in my desktop doesnt work with sleep | 02:34 |
| O__o | DIFH-iceroot, ok | 02:34 |
| fearful | O__o, does it try too? | 02:35 |
| O__o | what is the diff betweeb suspend and hibernate? | 02:35 |

| nightrid3r | Akkernight: kill | 02:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | simard: The sudo mount -t vfat /dev/loop0 /mnt/dir | 02:35 |
| zamba | O__o: suspend writes to memory, whereas hibernate writes to disk | 02:36 |
| l337m4573r1 | could anyone please help me get my xbox 360 hooked up to the internet through my laptop thats running ubuntu? | 02:36 |

| zamba | O__o: so suspend consumes power, hibernate doesn't | 02:36 |
| O__o | ic currently i have suspend option | 02:36 |
| O__o | i should change it to hibernate maybe it works? | 02:36 |
| paulocelso68 | Samsung monitor 2263uw webcam issues... does anybody know how to solve it? | 02:36 |

| zamba | oh.. ubuntu dapper has an option for installing a lamp server.. nice :) | 02:38 |
| zamba | but i won't do that | 02:38 |
| simard | IntuitiveNipple, wont work either, I dd'ed the whole key, with the partition table.. not only the vfat partition | 02:38 |

| paulocelso68 | Ok.. | 02:39 |

| wrektjet | sorry for being off topic but could someone direct me to a server where i can find help with my hardware- finishing up my build and having some cable issues | 02:40 |
| lstarnes | wrektjet: try ##hardware | 02:40 |

| wrektjet | lstarnes thnx that was an easy one | 02:41 |
| l337m4573r1 | could someone help me with a problem? | 02:41 |
| IntuitiveNipple | simard Then, drop the loop (sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0) and remount it at the offset of the partition (512 X starting-sector-number) so "sudo losetup -032256 /dev/loop0 /path/to/file" would work if the starting sector was 63 | 02:41 |

| SeViLLa | os11: try looking in the gconf-editor | 02:43 |
| os11 | how? | 02:43 |
| Akkernight | Keal, removing Wine, then installing version 1.0.1 should work | 02:43 |
| os11 | SeViLLa, how? | 02:43 |
| Keal | i don't know how to install 1.0.1 instead | 02:43 |
| fearful | Keal, just purge the current one, and remove the repository for 1.1.17 (if you added one) | 02:43 |
| Akkernight | but you'll need to find version 1.0.1 somewhere | 02:43 |
| Keal | everytime i reinstall it automatically uses 1.1.17 | 02:43 |
| Keal | how do i remove the repository? | 02:44 |
| fearful | Keal, did you add the repository for 1.1.17? | 02:44 |
| SeViLLa | os11: alt +f2 then type gconf-editor | 02:44 |

| SeViLLa | os11: hold on im looking for it | 02:46 |
| fearful | casdf, I think you should try different vnc clients and see which is best for your computer/network | 02:47 |
| Keal | i hit revert and i don't think anything happened | 02:47 |
| os11 | maybe there is a way to change the suspend button to power button somehow? | 02:47 |
| fearful | Keal, gksu gedit /etc/apt/souces.list and paste on pastebin. | 02:48 |

| Keal | ubuntu is worse than shaving with a bowling pin | 03:02 |
| Keal | it is like shaving with a hair curler | 03:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | grendal_prime: this may help: sudo apt-get build-dep libmysqlclient-dev | 03:03 |
| fearful | Keal, what does that have to do with opening a file as root? | 03:03 |
| grendal_prime | wow | 03:03 |
| scratch_ | Keal, ubuntu is awesome...give it some time and a chance... | 03:03 |
| Keal | i gave it time, i don't see why i am not allowed to use my password to edit the file using a text editor like any sane person would wish to do | 03:03 |
| Deeta | @shaving with a blowing pin: somehow i get the feeling that the author of the pic had no clue that OSX descends from BSD | 03:04 |
| beilabs | Running intrepid, can no longer see any network shares. Any pointers? | 03:04 |
| IntuitiveNipple | grendal_prime: actually that won't help, that was totally upside down! :D | 03:04 |
| === Guest36397 is now known as accused | ||
| scratch_ | Keal: because that's a protected system file...you need to do it as root...think 'administrator' in windows | 03:04 |
| tritium | Keal: you can. Your user's password is what sudo uses. | 03:04 |
| O__o | hi how to change the prefer email reader to opera instead of evolution? | 03:04 |
| fearful | Keal, what do you mean not allowed to use the password, you have to type it it will ask you because of 'gksu' if you would run the command I mentioned | 03:04 |
| Keal | why can't i use root to allow text editor to save it? | 03:04 |
| IntuitiveNipple | grendal_prime: lets try again.... sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev | 03:04 |
| casdf | so is vino using 100% cpu a known issue, or do i have some setting wrong | 03:05 |
| fearful | Keal, gksu is root. | 03:05 |
| fearful | !sudo | Keal | 03:05 |
| ubottu | Keal: 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) | 03:05 |
| scratch_ | Keal: you can that's what fearful is trying to help you to do | 03:05 |
| Keal | then how do i run text editor using sudo? | 03:05 |
| scratch_ | type sudo gedit file | 03:05 |
| fearful | Keal, in the terminal type: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list I've mentioned it 4 times | 03:05 |
| tritium | Keal: gksudo gedit <path to file> | 03:05 |
| fearful | scratch_, gksu* | 03:06 |
| Keal | that doesn't have a gui | 03:06 |
| tritium | fearful: use gksudo | 03:06 |
| scratch_ | fearful: o | 03:06 |
| fearful | tritium, I did, gksu | 03:06 |
| tritium | Keal: no gui? Command line? sudo vi <file>, or sudo nano | 03:06 |
| Keal | it is worse than word perfect 1.0 for MS-DOS 2.0 | 03:06 |
| casdf | sudo vi | 03:06 |
| tritium | fearful: gksudo, not gksu | 03:06 |

| sprinkmeier | Keal, maybe the text editor is too smart to run as root.... some progs drop superuser | 03:15 |
| Keal | >:| | 03:15 |
| tritium | Keal: *users* not *programs* are granted root access. You need to understand the difference. | 03:15 |
| sprinkmeier | Keal, sudo nano FILENAME not GUI but fairly easy to use | 03:15 |
| Keal | it asked me what program i wanted to grant root | 03:16 |
| anubis | Please can any tell me what's the best way to install real player from binary and also a from source code | 03:16 |

| tritium | Keal: PAY ATTENTION, then. We've told you how. | 03:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | tritium: Keal is correct. If gksudo is run *without arguments* it shows a dialog and asks for the program to run. | 03:20 |
| SeViLLa | _lowercase: what about vim | 03:20 |
| fearful | Keal, well we have told you multiple times what to do, learn how to use gksudo, gksu, sudo | 03:20 |
| tritium | IntuitiveNipple: but it does not grant privileges to programs. | 03:20 |
| _lowercase | i told you: get a mac | 03:20 |
| Nith | can anyone get me started on reading raw from the USB? | 03:20 |

| Deeta | cdenny: you should choose 8.10 Even if 9.04 is relased 2009-04-23 it is still likely that it is not as stable as 8.10 by then | 03:23 |
| sprinkmeier | cdenny, 8.10. upgrade if/when later. | 03:23 |
| SeViLLa | does anyone have any suggestions for bash's readline library mode for vi or emacs i cant make up my mind | 03:23 |

| cdenny | musikgoat|main really? | 03:25 |

| cdenny | musikgoat|main for example, I install a new os once a week | 03:31 |
| Frijolie | anyone know if you can edit hal-mtab? I think I've read that it gets created dynamically | 03:31 |
| musikgoat|main | cdenny: non-commital and you want to get married :-P | 03:31 |
| O__o | Nasra, i am O__o not O_o | 03:31 |
| cdenny | musikgoat|main Im hoping ubuntu will keep my interest for a while | 03:31 |
| cdenny | musikgoat|main i never said for how long | 03:32 |
| musikgoat|main | heh | 03:32 |
| bonez46 | no.. this is a newer box.. into which I want to install several hard drives.. drives from older machines.. | 03:32 |
| Keal | i have no idea what it just did | 03:32 |
| fearful | Keal, a lot of lines came up with %? | 03:32 |
| Keal | says ... Done after | 03:32 |
| Guest43383 | where can I get help to create dialup networking for my EC325 Huwei wireless modem | 03:32 |
| cdenny | musikgoat|main but then again, windows is just boring, and it sucks that i know everything | 03:32 |
| cdenny | musikgoat|main im what people call savant | 03:32 |
| musikgoat|main | ok, well, i say learn to vm then | 03:33 |
| cdenny | musikgoat|main but its ok, im not like rainman, im not good with numbers | 03:33 |
| n8tuserf | Guest43383-> use google to search for such assistance? | 03:33 |
| fearful | Keal, okay you just updated what you modified from the sources.list file, now in the same terminal you can type sudo apt-get install wine and you will have the current stable version. | 03:33 |
| sprinkmeier | bonez46, "drives from older machines" might be flaky. SMART? | 03:33 |
| cdenny | musikgoat|main sorry for bothering you i cant help it | 03:33 |
| musikgoat|main | cdenny: all good | 03:33 |
| albertolempira | hey guys i'm trying to share two folders between my laptop and desktop (both running intrepid) but there's no way I can browse through the "shared" folders i always get a "could not mount" message, is there somebody who know what could be happening? thx | 03:33 |
| Guest43383 | EC325 is the only thing I have to connect to the Internet and just for connectivity I had to come back to Windows | 03:34 |
| O__o | albertolempira, uses ssh to share files, much easier | 03:34 |
| samd | fearful, he must update index list after modifing sources.list, with sudo apt-get update | 03:34 |
| sprinkmeier | bonez46, (i.e. "run a SMART test http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. ) | 03:34 |
| Keal | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, 14 not upgraded | 03:34 |
| fearful | samd, I know, I told him to run it and he got freaked out with the output thats all | 03:34 |
| samd | fearful, oh, alright | 03:34 |
| samd | fearful, my bad sry | 03:35 |
| fearful | Keal, I'm sorry first you have to remove the current version; sudo apt-get purge wine | 03:35 |
| tritium | fearful: if he prefers gui, perhaps you should teach him to use synaptic package manager | 03:35 |
| danbhfive_jaunty | Keal: maybe this will interest you: http://vinux.org.uk/ | 03:35 |
| albertolempira | O__o, do I have to install something? I've never used ssh before... | 03:35 |
| fearful | tritium, Keal or use synaptic System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager ;) | 03:35 |
| Keal | i did wine --version and it still says 1.1.17 | 03:35 |
| sprinkmeier | albertolempira, ssh client should be installed by default. ssh server isn't, add via synaptic or similar | 03:36 |
| O__o | albertolempira, sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 03:36 |
| fearful | Keal, open the Synaptic package manager and search for wine and then right click hit 'completely remove' and then when thats done re-install it | 03:36 |
| tritium | fearful: thanks for working with him, and kudos to you for your patience | 03:37 |
| tritium | Good night. | 03:37 |
| Keal | i don't think ubuntu 8.10 really is a stable release, it keeps changing its behavior every time i come back from either level 4 power save or hibernate | 03:37 |
| === hullo is now known as jcmoney | ||
| albertolempira | O__o, thanks, i guess i should find some info on the web | 03:37 |
| fearful | tritium, :) thanks | 03:37 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 03:37 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 03:37 |
| Droopsta915 | I have always used Ubuntu, I'm curious, has anyone use Kubuntu and is it any good? | 03:37 |
| albertolempira | sprinkmeier, thx | 03:38 |
| fearful | Droopsta915, yes Kubuntu is ubuntu using the KDE window manager, it's nice give it a try you can install it on ubuntu by "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" | 03:38 |
| Nith | can anyone get me started on reading raw from the USB? | 03:38 |
| jcmoney | hi i had a usb hard drive that i was using (ntfs file system) and now it wont mount, when i fdisk -l it shows up with /dev/sdb with no volumes listed any thoughts? | 03:38 |
| Frijolie | scratch_: ? | 03:38 |
| sprinkmeier | Nith, "reading RAW"? you mean take an image? I'd recommend dd_rescue | 03:39 |
| Frijolie | srpinkmeier: remember my volume label issue? | 03:39 |
| samd | Droopsta915, kubuntu in my opinion is as good as ubuntu, just diferent interface (kde instead of gnome) | 03:39 |
| Frijolie | er sprinkmeier, ^^ | 03:39 |
| Nith | sprinkmeier: I mean I want to see the bytes as the usb device produces them | 03:39 |
| sprinkmeier | Frijolie, yes | 03:39 |
| Keal | as i said i don't think ubuntu 8.10 amd64 actually is a stable release because it keeps changing its behavior from before everytime i return from either hibernate or level 4 power save | 03:39 |
| samd | Droopsta915, if your happy with gnome, id recomend to stick with gnome | 03:39 |
| Frijolie | sprinkmeier, FIXED! Changed "SANSA FUZE" to "SANSA_FUZE" | 03:39 |
| sprinkmeier | Nith, I know that windows has some USB-spy apps that let you look at raw traffic. Don;'t know it there's an equivalent for Linux yet. | 03:40 |
| n8tuserf | Nith-> this is not the place for it, visit #c perhaps on how to code raw packets or sockets | 03:40 |
| musikgoat|main | Keal: either version of ubuntu's OS is going to be troublesome for certain motherboards, its all dependent on the motherboard... sometimes BIOS updates fix those troubles | 03:40 |
| sprinkmeier | Frijolie, ARGH... space in the label? | 03:40 |
| Nith | n8tuserf: thanks | 03:40 |
| Nith | sprinkmeier: thanks | 03:41 |
| Frijolie | sprinkmeier, yes, I guess Windblows thinks it's ok for a space, Linux doesn't | 03:41 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Nith: see usbmon, kernel | 03:41 |
| Droopsta915 | samd:Yes, I like gnome, i'll stick to it. What about edubuntu? I want to install Linux on my 7 year old's laptop, anyone ever try Edubuntu? | 03:41 |
| O__o | Droopsta915, try xubuntu | 03:42 |
| samd | Droopsta915, edubuntu should be the same as ubuntu but with educational software preinstalled | 03:42 |
| O__o | Droopsta915, personally i think xubuntu's interface is nicer than kubuntu or ubuntu | 03:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Nith: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-jaunty.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt;h=270481906dc80d1b25a0c29f607ef55e83ae16be;hb=HEAD | 03:42 |
| sprinkmeier | Frijolie, sounds like someone wrote a udev hook script or something and forgot to escape spaces. | 03:42 |
| sprinkmeier | Droopsta915, 7 years old? try Xubuntu, lightest window manager. edubuntu uses gnome which might be too heavy for a 7yo | 03:42 |
| Frijolie | 0__o, he said 7-year-old's laptop, not my 7-year-old laptop | 03:42 |
| samd | Droopsta915, havnt tried myself, but looks good for a small kid | 03:42 |
| Frijolie | sprinkmeier: or something... | 03:43 |
| Keal | musikgoat|main if i had known that last saturday i wouldn't have wasted everyone in winehq's time with inquiries about what is bugs and what isn't nor wasted everyone in ubuntu's time on reverting due to a glitch that apparently is a kernel/mobo issue not a software version issue | 03:43 |
| Keal | :< vsorry | 03:43 |
| Nith | IntuitiveNipple: this is perfect! | 03:43 |
| Nith | IntuitiveNipple: thanks :) | 03:43 |
| musikgoat|main | Keal: yeah but did you learn things? | 03:43 |
| Keal | yes i did | 03:43 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Nith: you're welcome | 03:43 |
| O__o | keal, wht are u trying to run with wine? which game? | 03:43 |
| Droopsta915 | He gets his way around Windows XP pretty good, but I want to start him early on Linux :) | 03:44 |
| Keal | musikgoat|main and man_in_shack must be about ready to order a hit on me by now >.< | 03:44 |
| musikgoat|main | Keal: i'm just guessing by the way, i could be wrong, but most suspend/sleep issues are due to that kind of trouble... | 03:44 |
| Frijolie | Droopsta915: hat's off to ya | 03:44 |
| Keal | btw xchat is horrible, this is why i wanted to use mirc under wine | 03:44 |
| samd | Dropsta915, yeah, if he starts with linux now, with kids curiosity , imagine him in a few years xD | 03:45 |
| O__o | xchat is better than mirc | 03:45 |
| Frijolie | Keal, I'm on XChat right now. I dig it | 03:45 |
| musikgoat|main | Keal: you'll learn that most windows apps in wine are not as good as the linux versions, they will just take some getting used to | 03:45 |
| musikgoat|main | !better | 03:45 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 03:45 |
| sprinkmeier | Droopsta915, I started my kids on linux, with dual-boot XP for the tonka games. Now they're familiar/comfortable with both. | 03:45 |
| Droopsta915 | So from what I see, instead of using Edubuntu, or Kubuntu, or Xubuntu, I can stick with Ubuntu and get the educational software Edubuntu has and install it in Ubuntu? | 03:45 |
| Keal | xchat simply doesn't suit my needs, when i claim it is horrible, i mean xchat is horrible at suiting my personal needs and interests | 03:46 |
| sprinkmeier | Droopsta915, yes. | 03:46 |
| O__o | Keal, what is your need? | 03:46 |
| samd | Droopsta915, yep, thats right | 03:46 |
| musikgoat|main | heh, there you go... have you tried pidgin? | 03:46 |
| musikgoat|main | its got some irc plugins that make it pretty useful | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | Droopsta915: correct | 03:46 |
| Keal | Keal first off i need a dynamic scripting system inline that can be manipulated in real time that is lowlevel within the applet itself | 03:46 |
| Keal | sorry chat program not applet | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | Droopsta915: you can also have them all in the ame install | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | in the same install | 03:47 |
| lstarnes | musikgoat|main: pidgin has incomplete irc support compared to most other irc clients | 03:47 |
| Keal | also tcl, perl, and whatever the other one were, do not fit this description | 03:47 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | sprinkmeier, if you can use one gui, you can use them all. | 03:47 |
| cdenny | i have 500gb, should i have partition os/apps and one for data? | 03:47 |
| cdenny | or just all one partition | 03:47 |
| Droopsta915 | Cool, I guess i'll mess with the others in VBox just to see whats up. Thanks everyone, have a good night. And if you have kids, why not let'em get into theLinux world while they are young. :) | 03:47 |
| Keal | mirc has pretty reliable DWIM built in for example | 03:48 |
| samd | Droopsta915, ight, g'night, have fun!! | 03:48 |
| O__o | Keal, i dont know, i only uses xchat to just chat | 03:48 |
| sebsebseb | Droopsta915: Edubuntu is for schools, don't bother with it for a home computer, just install the two suites and what not and Tuxpaint :) in a standard Ubuntu install | 03:48 |
| Frijolie | cdenny, I make custom partitions | 03:48 |
| Keal | i used mirc for more than just chat | 03:48 |
| cdenny | Frijolie after install? | 03:48 |
| Guest43383 | i use Opera for everything | 03:48 |
| cdenny | Frijolie or during? | 03:48 |
| Keal | thus why i find xchat so repulsive, all it is is a chat program | 03:49 |
| Frijolie | cdenny, oh, already after install | 03:49 |
| O__o | Keal, what do u do in irc?? | 03:49 |
| musikgoat|main | lstarnes: yeah, true | 03:49 |
| Jeruvy | cdenny: its a good idea to break /home out for easy backups, additionally any other partitions that may have specific backup needs. | 03:49 |
| Frijolie | cdenny, no, I was referring to during install | 03:49 |
| musikgoat|main | O__o: heards botnets :-P | 03:49 |
| Keal | my personal scripts for mirc of which i wrote entirely myself are 90% the added functionality to mirc | 03:49 |
| cdenny | im assuming it gives me an option during install? | 03:49 |
| Guest43383 | I use bitlbee IM to connect to all my jabber accounts | 03:49 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | saying "my kid can use linux and windows and mac" is the same as saying "my kid can drive a ford, a toyota, or a kia" | 03:49 |
| Frijolie | cdenny, do you have an Ubuntu install currently? or are you adding a 2nd HDD to an existing Ubuntu OS? | 03:50 |
| Guest43383 | may be that is the reason Microsoft took over Lindows | 03:50 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | Keal, you can write all the scripts you want for xchat, and you don't have to use some arcane scripting language. | 03:50 |
| cdenny | Frijolie im using windows server 2008, and just finished burning ubuntu iso. going to install in a couple of mins | 03:50 |
| O__o | XtrHotMarSpy, i think it is more like driving an automatic, stick, and semi-automatic race car | 03:50 |
| Keal | and making a foss clone of mirc is just plain unethical due to 50% of the yearly registration fees for mirc going towards disaster relief etc | 03:50 |
| === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire | ||
| musikgoat|main | XtrHotMarSpy: really? i'd think of it more as a semi, automatic and manual respectively | 03:50 |

| cdenny | not cool | 03:51 |
| musikgoat|main | O__o: lol | 03:51 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | that was a fun netsplit | 03:51 |
| sebsebseb | now that was a good net split | 03:51 |
| musikgoat|main | theres been a few so far tonight | 03:51 |
| cdenny | so how do i separate /home from everything else? | 03:51 |
| cdenny | what is /home? | 03:51 |
| O__o | we should do this more often | 03:51 |

| === Guest11969 is now known as dopplerdeffect | ||
| XtrHotMarSpy | i had no learning curve going to other OSs that had guis | 03:52 |

| felixsulla | For a VirtualBox machine, does anyone know the difference between .vdi and .sav? | 03:52 |
| musikgoat|main | XtrHotMarSpy: i guess i just don't equate the OS with the gui | 03:52 |
| sprinkmeier | XtrHotMarSpy, the trickisn't learning multiple OSs, the trick is learning learning that multiple OS's isn't difficult (something most people who grew up with only one OS can't seem to do) | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | XtrHotMarSpy: same here prety much, well there is a tiny learning curve when it comes to installing programs | 03:52 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | musikgoat|main, yeah, and neither do people using a gui | 03:53 |
| lstarnes | Keal: there's no way to do that in the irc protocol for users who are already connectesd | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | XtrHotMarSpy: ,but I just installed Fedora Core 2 after using WIndows all my life | 03:53 |
| lstarnes | *connected | 03:53 |
| cdenny | will it be pretty explanatory when installing ubuntu to separate /home? | 03:53 |

| Keal | never saw on the hp site about a cdrom firmware | 04:07 |
| Keal | my laptop used to be a display model btw, so possibly all firmwares were already updated by the time i obtained the machine | 04:08 |
| supertanker | On my server, my CLI screen is filled with lines of "Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason {3d|2d} on CPU 0. Dazed and confused, but trying to continue." | 04:08 |
| supertanker | I can't type anything without it getting overwritten | 04:08 |

| LogicFan | is it ok to use jaunty repos with intrepid to install software that doesn't have debs for intrepid? | 04:09 |
| casdf | how do you set wallpapers in ubuntu. sys/prefs/appearances isnt updating the desktop | 04:09 |
| Keal | and i got it mint as a display model | 04:09 |
| LogicFan | i'm just wondering why some software would be available in the jaunty repos and not intrepid | 04:09 |
| Keal | often i buy the display model for a steep discount when a product is discontinued | 04:09 |
| Jeruvy | supertanker: try this for info..: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=424927 | 04:10 |

| supertanker | Jeruvy, thanks | 04:10 |
| LogicFan | casdf, right-click on the desktop and select "change background... | 04:10 |
| IntuitiveNipple | sprockets2000: If the monitor supports EDID you can use read-edid | 04:11 |
| casdf | logicfan: yeah its not actually changing when i doubleclick on anything | 04:11 |
| LogicFan | casdf, just selecting one of the images should auto-change it | 04:12 |
| LogicFan | are you clicking add, then selecting the graphic? | 04:12 |
| dotblank | Anyone good with dun over bluetooth | 04:12 |
| casdf | logicfan: yes yes done all that | 04:12 |
| casdf | logicfan: nothings changing the background | 04:12 |
| Jeruvy | casdf: sounds like a x issue, if you restart x, does it appear? | 04:13 |
| supertanker | Jeruvy, that report is just of others having the same problem. No actual helpful information there | 04:13 |
| casdf | i can still change the solid color | 04:13 |
| Jeruvy | supertanker: hmm, there are bugs logged on launchpad too, you could see if there is any update | 04:13 |
| ltsmooth42 | is there any way to read ext4 from 8.10 yet? | 04:13 |
| supertanker | Jeruvy, this is an older system, I'm probably going to take the entire rig out of this case and put in my P4 mobo and gear. I was just curious if there was any quick fix | 04:14 |
| musikgoat|main | ltsmooth42: last i heard, its only backported to the .28 kernel, which isn't going to be used in 8.10 | 04:14 |
| ltsmooth42 | alright | 04:14 |

| LogicFan | is it possible to add jaunty repos to an intrepid installation and install jaunty debs? | 04:15 |
| musikgoat|main | LogicFan: thats not advisable, its going to cause all sorts of issues | 04:16 |
| crdlb | LogicFan: no | 04:16 |
| LogicFan | thanks | 04:16 |
| Jeruvy | supertanker: from launchpad: Running 2.6.27-10-generic (in intrepid-proposed) seems to have stopped the error. | 04:16 |
| musikgoat|main | LogicFan: but you can run jaunty alpha ;-) | 04:16 |

| Bearcat | hey folks, i'm losing my mind. I'm trying to get a pixmap gtk2 theme working and i can't get any apps to use it. I've coped the theme to /usr/share/themes and the gtkrc file to ~/ What else would i have to do. (note, i'm not using gnome, i just want some matching gtk apps in kde) | 04:17 |
| musikgoat|main | Keal: get familiar with launchpad.net then :-P | 04:17 |
| ruel | can I know what IRC clients you people are using? | 04:17 |
| ruel | in ubuntu ofc | 04:18 |
| supertanker | ruel, X-Chat/IRSSI | 04:18 |

| crdlb | Bearcat: that's not how you do it | 04:18 |
| ruel | k kewl thanls | 04:18 |
| Keal | so musikgoat|main that gives you guys 9 months to help me get to know ubuntu inside-and-out like the back of my hand in order to properly and adequately bugtest this mobo with the new cpu coming out | 04:18 |
| ruel | thanks* | 04:18 |
| Bearcat | crdlb: oh? Teach me oh wise one :") | 04:18 |
| crdlb | Bearcat: first of all, I believe kde has support for setting the gtk theme | 04:18 |
| supertanker | Is there any way to at least stop console messages from flooding out my CLI screen? | 04:18 |
| musikgoat|main | Keal: you will get far by reading some of the many ubuntu guides out there for various common things | 04:18 |
| Keal | musikgoat|main by next month i will have hopefully learned like the back of my hand how to properly service this laptop | 04:19 |
| crdlb | Bearcat: if it doesn't, you can use switch2 from the gtk-theme-switch package, which writes gtk-theme-name to ~/.gtkrc-2.0 | 04:19 |
| Bearcat | crdlb: well the idea is that soon i will be using neither kde or gnome. | 04:19 |
| Bearcat | crdlb: ahh | 04:19 |
| crdlb | also, you can put themes in ~/.themes/ instead of doing it systemwide | 04:19 |
| yeason | the problem I have seems to be very common yet none of the fixes I've found so far work. My networking suddenly stopped working on my computer | 04:20 |

| Keal | because the after market one has serious design flaws | 04:21 |

| Socrates | Hello, I recently installed 8.10 using the CD. Previously I had 8.04 installed. During the installation I used the total format option. I did not select any partitions. Yet when I use the program called 'GParted" it says that I have /dev/sda1 ext 3, /dev/sda2/extended and /dev/sda5 linux-swap. What are the latter two (i.e. sda2 &sda5)? | 04:34 |
| musikgoat|main | meglo: i wasn't clear | 04:34 |
| Socrates | Do sda2 and sda5 contain anything of mine on them? | 04:34 |
| ShinyHat | ruel: not shared to a point that would make a difference | 04:34 |
| musikgoat|main | !swap | socrates | 04:35 |
| ubottu | socrates: 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 | 04:35 |
| ruel | ShinyHat: well, I suggest try other repos.. :) | 04:35 |
| cyberjorge | i have a pos software that has a lock emblem, how do i make it accessible not only via root? | 04:35 |

| Socrates | What does it do? | 04:35 |
| musikgoat|main | ShinyHat: yeah thats across the US | 04:35 |
| ShinyHat | musikgoat|main: its ranging between 1k and 100k | 04:36 |
| Anna_111 | tha partitions are for / home and linux-swap | 04:36 |
| musikgoat|main | Socrates: that is just a logical extension to the partition system, i don't know why they do it that way but it doesn't have any of your system data on it | 04:36 |
| Rosalia | necesito registrarme para jugar en tragaperras | 04:36 |
| ruel | Socrates: maybe that's a boot partition, I used to have a separate partition for boot when installing dfferent distros | 04:36 |
| ShinyHat | musikgoat|main: when i tell it to find the best source, it freezes while pinging- what is that about? | 04:36 |
| Rosalia | como hago ahora? | 04:36 |
| musikgoat|main | ShinyHat: check for canadian locations as well there might be one with less hops to get to your home | 04:36 |
| Socrates | Could it be something left over from 8.04?? How would I find out? | 04:37 |

| musikgoat|main | Guest43383: i'm not quite sure of the default partition layout for a deskotp, but i think /boot is included in the root file system | 04:39 |

| skyl | XtrHotMarSpy indeed | 04:40 |

| musikgoat|main | Guest43383: but grub, the boot loader is likely written to the mbr | 04:40 |
| jtaji | Socrates: it contians the sda5, which is your swap, it is 1.25GB | 04:40 |
| ruel | skyl: changing its permission to 777 is risky | 04:40 |
| mercutio22 | can it be some problem with my locale settings? | 04:40 |
| ruel | skyl: try using chown | 04:41 |

| musikgoat|main | Socrates: thats the best way to think about it | 04:41 |
| ShinyHat | musikgoat|main: thanks for the tips, i'll try manually choosing something more local :) | 04:41 |

| ruel | XtrHotMarSpy: who's he | 04:43 |

| durt | anyone here familiar with tvtime tell me why I'm getting ascii garbage showing up on my screen? | 04:46 |
| ruel | now I'm confused :( | 04:46 |
| mylisto | hey everyone... | 04:46 |
| mylisto | Does anyone know of any good desktop recorder (voice/video)? | 04:47 |
| ruel | durt: try using restricted drivers | 04:47 |
| Socrates | How would you find out if you had more than one primary partition? Would it come up in a program like Gparted? | 04:47 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | mylisto, sony makes a whole bunch | 04:47 |
| durt | ruel, I do have 180.37 installed, it's with tvtime | 04:47 |
| mylisto | meant software based xtrhotmarspy: | 04:47 |
| mylisto | for ubuntu | 04:47 |
| supertanker | How does that Ubuntu Server motd work where it shows the system resources at login time? | 04:47 |
| jtaji | Socrates: 1 through 4 will be primary, 5 and up are logical | 04:47 |
| oscar | how do i set ubuntu to auto log in | 04:48 |
| ruel | oscar: I'm pretty sure its within the installation | 04:48 |
| Socrates | Oh, so sda1 and sda2 are primary. Could there be another one, a boot one, which is not coming up in Gparted? | 04:48 |
| binarymutant1 | supertanker: try /etc/issues | 04:48 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | oscar, reinstall and check the auto log in box when you create your username | 04:48 |
| jtaji | Socrates: the default ubuntu install just has one partition for /, and one for swap, which is what you have | 04:49 |
| ruel | Socrates: all partitions are being shown in Gparted | 04:49 |
| oscar | really i have to re-install | 04:49 |
| aoalinux | oscar | 04:49 |
| oscar | i saw it but didnt think i would need it | 04:49 |
| ruel | oscar: well, not really.. ummm w8 a sec | 04:49 |
| jtaji | Socrates: but yeah you can check in gparted | 04:49 |
| oscar | cool thanks | 04:49 |
| aoalinux | no you dont hang on and ill tell you how | 04:49 |
| oscar | thanks | 04:49 |
| binarymutant1 | supertanker: and /etc/motd | 04:49 |
| supertanker | binarydigit, thanks | 04:49 |
| Socrates | Good, so there is nothing more to my computer than sda1, sda2, and sda5 | 04:49 |

| aoalinux | Hey everyone, I am new here. When I use the update manager in Ubuntu 8.10, it fails to update because it says it fails to fetch (URL) and says no public key. What can I do about this? Thanks | 04:50 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | aoalinux, connect to the internet | 04:50 |
| aoalinux | yes sir I am | 04:51 |

| ruel | can you give the URLs that cannot be resolved? | 04:51 |
| aoalinux | yes there are several though? | 04:51 |
| ruel | mylisto: try testing your mic first | 04:51 |
| cjae | ok I have tried to sudo apt-get purge --remove klavaro but upon reinstall it will not let me select another language | 04:51 |
| ruel | aoalinux: just one I'll check | 04:52 |

| gRunt | k3b ratger | 05:22 |
| gRunt | rather** | 05:22 |
| lanoxx- | jtaji, i was thinking about that too, since the kernel would trigger the event for nautilus which in return spawns the dialogue | 05:23 |
| stoic_ | keepsake I tried using apt-get something or other and it freezes after it asks me to confirm ill try apt-get remove -- purge real quick to be sure | 05:23 |
| keepsake | stoic_: Okay. | 05:23 |
| Socrates | So, if I were actually able to make desktop effects work through to System>Pref>Appearances (say, because I had a good and compatible video card, which I don't), would that be using this Compiz thing? | 05:23 |

| Socrates | The worst one in the world: VIA P4M800. | 05:24 |
| Socrates | There's nothing that can be done. | 05:24 |
| jtaji | lanoxx-: I could also see how it might be a limitation of the hardware, if it powers down the card reader during suspend, for instance | 05:24 |
| c0l2e | in centos it has a setup and system- and in suse there's yast.. is there a one center configuration in ubuntu console ?? | 05:24 |
| Keal | ramavadakattu don' | 05:24 |
| O__o | 7600GT only about $50 | 05:25 |

| ramavadakattu | Keal : how should i specify that? | 05:25 |
| keepsake | stoic_: sudo apt-get remove --purge squashfs-tools | 05:25 |
| lanoxx- | jtaji, not necessarily, you could just use a token to remember the state, e.g. if there was a card inserted before hibernation and after hibernation, you could savely assume its the same card in the device. | 05:26 |

| keepsake | stoic_: don't put the space between the -- and purge | 05:27 |

| keepsake | stoic_: It's "--purge" | 05:27 |

| O__o | VIA? | 05:27 |
| O__o | i dont know if VIA makes video card | 05:27 |
| keepsake | stoic_: And don't use gksudo, use sudo | 05:28 |
| stoic_ | how come ? | 05:28 |
| keepsake | stoic_: Since apt-get is not a GUI program | 05:28 |
| stoic_ | ahh | 05:28 |
| Socrates | Not card, integrated video | 05:28 |
| jtaji | Socrates: they don't release specs like nvidia, however unlike nvidia they don't release closed-source drivers | 05:28 |
| Socrates | Oh. | 05:29 |
| stoic_ | awesome gksudo was the problem, why it froze | 05:29 |
| gRunt | Keal, no i have a dvd in an selected burn dvd image. | 05:29 |
| gRunt | but the iso is most definitely 700mb says so on my desktop but I can extract it to 3.2gb in size. | 05:29 |

| O__o | integrated video chips are crap | 05:29 |

| sebsebseb | gaintsura: why re installing Windows? | 05:37 |
| sebsebseb | gaintsura: how about going UBuntu only :D or Windows in a vm. unless you got 3D games or something like that of course | 05:37 |
| keepsake | sebsebseb: Windows/Linux dual boot is actually the best choice IMO | 05:37 |
| keepsake | sebsebseb: Too many programs dependent on Windows structure =\ | 05:38 |

| cdenny | with compiz fusion can i have a different wallpaper for each side? | 05:38 |

| keepsake | sebsebseb: Then that's a fine idea. | 05:40 |
| keepsake | sebsebseb: What do you use as the VM manager? | 05:40 |
| sebsebseb | keepsake: if I am running Virtual machines i'll use the binary from their site http://www.virtualbox.org so I can also have USB suppourt. OSE has no USB suppourt | 05:40 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | pidgin does that | 05:40 |
| riwa | I'm looking for a program to manage my ipod photo. Itunes doesn't seem available (through synaptics anyway) so I wonder which one I should go for. | 05:40 |

| keepsake | sebsebseb: Interesting, I'll look into that, since I'm running dual boot right now. | 05:41 |
| sebsebseb | keepsake: fine for everything except 3D games basicalley | 05:41 |
| keepsake | sebsebseb: How's graphics/sound editing? | 05:41 |
| sebsebseb | keepsake: ,but soon Codeweavers Crossover Games is going to have proper Directx 10 suppourt :D | 05:41 |
| keepsake | sebsebseb: And driver support? | 05:41 |
| sebsebseb | keepsake: that depends I guess | 05:41 |

| zenlunatic | cdavis, ls -l [file] | 05:44 |

| sebsebseb | keepsake: yep that's good only using a psyical Windows install, as a last resort, because nothing else would work for that app | 05:44 |

| cdenny | zenlunatic: I checked permissions, yes i do | 05:45 |
| cdenny | zenlunatic: but how do i execute? | 05:45 |
| sebsebseb | gaintsura: Windows does not like other OS's so it goes over the MBR | 05:45 |
| zenlunatic | cdavis, try ./[file] | 05:45 |
| sebsebseb | gaintsura: your /boot/grub will still be there, but you got to get the thing back on the MBR as well | 05:45 |

| zenlunatic | cdenny, yeah when you're current working directory contains the file you may invoke it with ./file.blah | 05:49 |
| keepsake | Which is why I'm upgrading to 8.10 | 05:49 |
| cdenny | zenlunatic: its says root acces is required | 05:49 |
| sebsebseb | keepsake: yeah I was going to tonight, but then change of plan | 05:49 |
| zenlunatic | cdenny, do you have root password? | 05:50 |
| cdenny | yes | 05:50 |
| cdenny | but it did not give me an option to enter it | 05:50 |
| zenlunatic | cdenny, so do that as root or sudo | 05:50 |
| keepsake | sebsebseb: Virtualbox isn't compatible with 9.04 yet, is it? | 05:50 |
| Socrates | Do you think that the GeForce4 MX |GeForce MX would work with 8.10? | 05:50 |
| sebsebseb | keepsake: of course Virtualbox can run 9.04 | 05:50 |
| cdenny | zenlunatic: how? | 05:50 |
| keepsake | sebsebseb: Do you need to compile for 9.04? There isn't a .deb on the website. | 05:51 |
| sebsebseb | keepsake: and sure there is no 9.04 version of Virtualbox yet, but the 8.10 one should work | 05:51 |

| zenlunatic | cdenny, just use the arrows | 05:54 |
| cdenny | but it was in the process of installing | 05:54 |
| keepsake | Socrates: Although a high-end one does go well above $150 | 05:54 |

| weweboom | Socrates try icedtea | 05:58 |
| cdenny | the content on each side of the cube is the same, its not separate for each side, can i change this? | 05:58 |

| dismal_denizen | Use the official JRE | 05:59 |
| weweboom | keepsake idk I'm not much of a coffee person | 05:59 |
| Socrates | So I should get rid of OpenJDK Java 6 Web Start??? | 05:59 |

| weweboom | Socrates if it works for you don't listen to me, i thought you had a problem | 06:00 |
| keepsake | Socrates: Ideally, use the one by Sun Java. | 06:00 |
| ice_cream | hmm, surprisingly i have had no need for jre since latest format | 06:00 |
| keepsake | Socrates: But then again, don't fix it if it's not broken. | 06:00 |

| ice_cream | keepsake, i disagree | 06:00 |
| dismal_denizen | ice_cream: it's good to have the JRE installed (I'm a Java programmer) | 06:00 |
| ice_cream | customize, break, and learn | 06:00 |
| Socrates | I didn't know that OpenJDK Java 6 Web Start was not official. I just installed it. | 06:01 |
| keepsake | ice_cream: True, but there's been times when there wasn't much learn, just "revert what was broken". | 06:01 |

| Socrates | Java worked in 8.04 for me. No worries. | 06:04 |
| Arkain | I keep having a problem where VBox is eating all of system ram, eveb after closing the program. Figuring it has to be a kernel bug because the same version of the program doing the same thing worked in Hardy just fine. | 06:04 |

| kinja-sheep | cthompson_: I know. I'll try the xfce since this isn't my main system so I wouldn't mind trying new things out. KDE one day, too. | 06:51 |

| doleyb | OrEvA: look for the one you just installed (which you should also be able to see by looking at the output of alien) | 07:51 |

| sprinkmeier | BABER, then you need to instal an ssh server on linux and putty on windows. "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" will install a server | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | BABER: then you will need to instal an ssh service on your windows box t connect to, ##windows can advise there | 09:35 |

| gladiator | tried apt-get purge php-pear. and then install.. but it still installs it in the same directory | 09:41 |
| gladiator | any clues? | 09:42 |
| numskull | sprinkmeier, however the one that died is the one that contains the boot sector and nice important stuff like that. | 09:42 |
| sprinkmeier | numskull, what was the setup? RAID0? RAID1? LVM? | 09:42 |

| gladio70 | ubuntu-it | 09:43 |

| gladio70 | #ubuntu-it | 09:44 |
| quibbler | gladio70: /join #ubuntu-it | 09:44 |
| sprinkmeier | numskull, then you;re probably out of luck. RAID0 aka striping sprinkles the data as far and as wide as it can in an effort to improve performance. loosing one disk pretty much means you're hosed. | 09:44 |
| vigo | gladio70: put a /# | 09:44 |
| sprinkmeier | numskull, can you dd_rescue any of the dead disk? | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sprinkmeier: which is why raid0 isnt really raid | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | numskull: got backup? | 09:44 |
| numskull | sprinkmeier, its no 0 | 09:44 |

| numskull | sprinkmeier, the drive is okay haven't been able to mount the LVM partition | 09:45 |
| numskull | sprinkmeier, as in i haven't tried | 09:45 |
| sprinkmeier | numskull, Can you re-create the software RAID set? | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | numskull: sure, dd the data from one drive to another and you're fine. your array should rebuild itself if its hard raid rather than garbage onboard | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | numskull: you'll need to replace the disk | 09:46 |
| numskull | ActionParsnip1, yeah i have backup | 09:46 |
| vigo | gladiator: That one also shows about resume, repair and update sources list, and much more in the manual! | 09:46 |
| BABER | Skaarj: i installed ssh-server now i type ssh localhost when enter root password this error appear the permision denied why? | 09:46 |
| numskull | ActionParsnip1, replacements aren't a problem | 09:46 |
| Skaarj | afancy: i dont know enough to help you further , youll have to find someone else | 09:47 |
| numskull | ActionParsnip1, restore from backup isn't possible at the moment | 09:47 |
| sprinkmeier | numskull, if you have a recent backup then just re-create the RAID/LVM array the way you want it and restore... (make sure you keep that second working disk though, just in case the backup isn't as recent as you thought or the restore fails :-) | 09:47 |
| Skaarj | BABER: root is disabled under ubuntu ... ty the name of an useraccount | 09:47 |
| sprinkmeier | BABER, ssh denies root logon by default. log on as a normal user and sudo if you have to. | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | BABER: when you connect, log in as you | 09:47 |

| numskull | sprinkmeier, i'm starting to think that restore from backup is where i'm gonna go but i have come here as a last ditch effort | 09:50 |
| sprinkmeier | numskull, IMAGE THE DISK! Whatever you do, you want to make sure you don't make things worse. If anything fails, if a dd goes the wrong way, if the RAID1 repllicates the wrong way or whatever the last thing you want to do is loose the only good copy of the data you currently have available. | 09:50 |

| JabberWokky | ActionParsnip1: I know that. I am very familiar with ln. | 10:11 |
| dan-ubuntu | got it appocc? | 10:11 |
| howtoo | somebody know of a ubuntu 8.10 repos with monodevelop 2 beta 2 packages? | 10:11 |
| Appocc | dan-ubuntu, ok. im here.. what i need to do now?? | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JabberWokky: a process watching the whole drive like that sounds a little unnecessary to me so i cant see it being implemented | 10:12 |
| JabberWokky | ActionParsnip1: It appeared right after I (fairly recently) upgraded my desktop to 8.10. Something is "helpfully" cleaning up links, is my guess... | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | not that ive personally know of, maybe someone else can chime in | 10:13 |
| Kartagis | using GNOME, is there a way to connect to the root folder of a samba server rather than the share? | 10:13 |
| JabberWokky | ActionParsnip1: Yeah, I thought that too. I just can't think of anything else that might be doing this. A sshfs mountpoint is doing the game. | 10:13 |
| afancy | jscinoz: Could you tell me which one should i installed? | 10:13 |
| Appocc | can i reinstall pulseaudio??? | 10:13 |
| dan-ubuntu | yes | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Kartagis: no, onl the shares are visible to the system | 10:13 |
| dan-ubuntu | wait | 10:13 |
| Appocc | how can i do it? | 10:13 |
| dan-ubuntu | why, do you want to do that? | 10:13 |
| jscinoz | afancy: what is your graphics card? | 10:13 |
| Appocc | cause my sound was working and its not anymore | 10:13 |
| dan-ubuntu | did you restart it? | 10:14 |
| Appocc | no..i just closed it | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Kartagis: if the system is a windows box, then ALL partitions are shared with a $ after the partition letter | 10:14 |
| Appocc | i dun kow how to open it again lol | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Kartagis: so you can in that instance | 10:14 |
| JabberWokky | ActionParsnip1: s/doing the game/doing the same. | 10:14 |
| durt | Appocc, try a 'sudo alsa force-reload' if that doesn't work it should give you error messages. | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JabberWokky: i'd log a bug or see if this is a new "feature" | 10:15 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip1, but shouldn't I be able to? because I can do that using windows | 10:15 |

| ManateeLazyCat | And strange is Ubuntu can connect interect when i first install it. | 10:16 |
| ManateeLazyCat | It can't connect after i updated. | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Kartagis: no, because ubuntu is not windows | 10:16 |
| JabberWokky | ActionParsnip1: Thanks for trying to assist anyway; it's just hard to search for, as people are constantly asking "why don't links in /dev survive a reboot?" and being responded to, so it's hard to find a good search term for my issue. :) | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JabberWokky: do hard links stay? | 10:17 |
| afancy | jscinoz: it is NVIDIA Quadro NVS 135M | 10:17 |
| JabberWokky | ActionParsnip1: Can't hardlink across mountpoints. | 10:17 |

| ActionParsnip1 | JabberWokky: bah | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ManateeLazyCat: add some dns servers to /etc/resolv.conf | 10:18 |
| afancy | jscinoz: i cannot remember, i think i in stalled it by systamtic | 10:18 |
| jscinoz | afancy: can you do 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx-legacy' | 10:19 |
| ManateeLazyCat | ActionParsnip1: I did it, setup static ip, and add "192.168.1.1" to dns in /etc/resolv.conf just can connect when i setup, it will failed when i restart system. | 10:19 |
| _infidel | the "usbmodules" command is a way to determine which modules are required for a particular device. Is there something similar in ubuntu? | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ManateeLazyCat: did you add it in the correct synatax | 10:19 |
| BABER | ActionParsnip1: how can find ports? | 10:19 |
| ManateeLazyCat | ActionParsnip1: I don't know why Ubuntu 8.10 can't work like Debian, i have two machine, one is Debian, one is Ubuntu 8.10 | 10:19 |
| afancy | jscinoz: i think so, but when i go into the recovery mode, how can it enable the network connection in command line? | 10:19 |
| durt | Appocc, hmm, don't think that's got any thing to do with alsa or pulseaudio. | 10:19 |
| dan-ubuntu | anyone know how to configure an apple bluetooth wireless aluminum keyboard with 8.10? i keep getting 'pairing failed' | 10:20 |
| ManateeLazyCat | ActionParsnip1: Yep, after i add it, it can work, but failed when i reboot. | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ManateeLazyCat: you need to add the word 'nameserver' to the beginning of it | 10:20 |
| ManateeLazyCat | ActionParsnip1: Yep, i did | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | BABER: ports of what, can you expand on your vague question | 10:20 |
| jimijix | hi, currently i'm dual-booting ubuntu and vista using grub; i'm going to install windows xp how do i do it? just install it? | 10:20 |
| phuzion | I'm listening to a stream online, and the flash container is REALLY crappy, is there a way to find the direct stream URL I can throw into VLC or something? | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jimijix: install it but you will need to reinstall grub if you are installing to the same disk that has grub on | 10:21 |
| BABER | ActionParsnip1: ports that are opened or i have used them | 10:21 |
| ManateeLazyCat | ActionParsnip1: First is setup static IP in /etc/network/interfaces, and remove "inet dhcp", and add "namesever 192.168.1.1" in /etc/resolv.conf | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | BABER: netstat -a | 10:21 |
| ManateeLazyCat | ActionParsnip1: But now it can't work again. | 10:21 |
| JabberWokky | phuzion: There are some Firefox addons, but you can also use "ngrep GET |grep -A5 flv" at the commandline. | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ManateeLazyCat: you need to have inet <interface name here> static | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ManateeLazyCat: can you pastebin your interfaces file please | 10:22 |
| ManateeLazyCat | ActionParsnip1: Ok | 10:22 |

| jimijix | ActionParnsip1: thanks, I have ubuntu and vista on the first disk, i'm going to install windows xp on the second; do i still need to install grub? | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | BABER: netstat -a | grep pidgin | 10:22 |
| emretemp | well found a bug, if you place gnome-panel at the right of the screen, windows list applet crashes if you open smt like 10 windows. it somehow couldnt use the space and expand itself. if you place gnome-panel at the top or at the bottom this does not happen and eveything works fine. | 10:22 |
| JabberWokky | phuzion: You'll be looking directly at the browser <-> server chatter, so you need to be able to read it. If it's too confusing, try a plugin. | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jimijix: no, just add an entry into grub to load up the new OS on the other disk | 10:23 |
| jimijix | ActionParsnip1: so i just install xp, then add the entry in grub? | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jimijix: pretty much, yes | 10:24 |
| jimijix | ActionPrsnip1: thanks buddy :-) | 10:24 |
| BABER | ActionParsnip1: noting do | 10:24 |
| * ManateeLazyCat pasted "/etc/network/interfaces" at http://paste2.org/get/166165 | 10:24 | |
| ActionParsnip1 | jimijix: a boot sector will be written to the other didk so grub will be untouched | 10:24 |
| ManateeLazyCat | ActionParsnip1: See above at http://paste2.org/get/166165 | 10:24 |

| koshari | chronographer software lvm is good if you want a large volume from small drives, hardware raid gives you all the redundncy enterprise demands | 10:40 |
| nate[oz] | same error this guy got: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600126 <- but none of the solutions in here work for me | 10:40 |
| koshari | nate[oz] have you checked your media | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | afancy: type ifconfig if you have an ip you are good to go | 10:41 |
| chronographer | I just want expandable partitions for movies etc. | 10:41 |
| nate[oz] | yea, tried 2 different cds, a dvd and a usb stick | 10:41 |

| ActionParsnip1 | nate[oz]: is that your initial post? | 10:41 |
| nate[oz] | nah, someone else with same problem | 10:41 |
| nate[oz] | i've tried everything in that thread though | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | afancy: try /sbin/ifconfig | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nate[oz]: did you md5 check your iso as well as verify the cd was ok once burned and booted to? | 10:42 |
| chronographer | nate[oz]: HDD full? | 10:42 |
| afancy | ActionParsnip1: i dont mean there is no ifconfig, but i have run this command it still doesnot enable the network | 10:43 |

| nate[oz] | ActionParsnip1: haven't done the md5 check yet, but downloaded from official website 2 different times on 2 different cds | 10:43 |
| chronographer | if you downloaded with torrent, you can check the integrity of the file... or use md5 check suggested above | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | afancy: ifconfig doesnt enable the network. Its to see if its already up and running with an ip address | 10:44 |
| nate[oz] | nah, right from ubuntu.com | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nate[oz]: doesnt matter | 10:44 |

| _infidel | the "usbmodules" command is a way to determine which modules are required for a particular device. Is there something similar in ubuntu? Anybody? Thanx in advance | 10:45 |
| nate[oz] | worth a shot, I've read many people with the same problem doing md5 checks and it coming out good... only reason I haven't tried it | 10:45 |
| nate[oz] | coming out good = md5 check is a success | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nate[oz]: md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as check the cds are ok. Once we know its not those at fault you can progress, if you have bad disks in your hands you will have a tonne of issues due to incorrect data on the disks | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | afancy: try sudo ifup <network device name> | 10:46 |
| nate[oz] | I've tried usb stick also, and dvd... so if md5 checks out I'm running out of options | 10:46 |
| nate[oz] | brb | 10:46 |
| nate[oz] | will check | 10:46 |
| chronographer | nate[oz]: md5 check your ISO | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nate[oz]: you shouold have checked it as soon as you downloaded it | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nate[oz]: before you did anything | 10:47 |
| afancy | ActionParsnip1: i have tried, but there is no network device name | 10:47 |
| chronographer | afancy: what does ifconfig return? | 10:48 |

| ActionParsnip1 | afancy: try: sudo lshw -C network | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | afancy: you need to find where ifconfig is lying so you can configure / probe your hardware | 10:49 |

| chiiiiiz | I have installed the latest version of catalyst, and with the control center, I have configured the dual screen: extended desktop overlay. | 10:54 |
| chiiiiiz | I wanted to have 2 different desktop, and tried Xinerama: catastrophic!!! | 10:54 |
| chiiiiiz | since then, I can't go back to my working config. I have tried "sudo aticonfig --initial", and "sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --desktop-setup=clone" and it does not work | 10:55 |
| Mkman | Debian is hard work? | 10:55 |
| nate[oz] | ActionParsnip1: you were right, md5 was incorrect, cheers for the time and effort | 10:56 |
| chiiiiiz | I have 2 screens, the mouse goes from one to the other (as if I still had an overlay), but the computer looks to be thinking, and does not show my toolbars... | 10:56 |
| chiiiiiz | any idea? | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nate[oz]: i will reitterate | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nate[oz]: ALWAYS check MD% | 10:57 |
| nate[oz] | ja | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nate[oz]: ive seen a tonne of users coming in moaning about bad installs and its nearly always MD5 | 10:57 |
| nate[oz] | I guess I made the assumption the iso was alright being that I *thought* I'd used it in a vm install... which worked fine | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nate[oz]: if you download ANY large image file and there is an MD5, get that too and check what you have | 10:58 |
| nate[oz] | guess it must have been a different iso | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nate[oz]: then check the disk is consistant on the first boot screen to check the burn succeeded | 10:58 |
| funkyHat | Or download using bittorrent which will check the file is good for you | 10:58 |
| nate[oz] | ja | 10:58 |
| nate[oz] | torrents are always slow fo rme | 10:58 |
| gladiator | why would ping resolve to a host in /etc/hosts file when the domain does not exist? | 10:58 |
| nate[oz] | i get a good 1MB/sec off my isp mirrors | 10:58 |
| nate[oz] | just have to wait until offpeak | 10:59 |
| Kartagis | how do I check if I use jack or not? | 10:59 |
| kelli | hi all | 11:00 |
| gladiator | !jack | 11:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jack | 11:00 |
| durt | Kartagis, ps -A | grep jack | 11:00 |
| chiiiiiz | another question: I need to set up a FTP server with quite some security. Do I need Debian, or can ubuntu server be my best friend on this? | 11:00 |
| nate[oz] | again, thanks for the help ActionParsnip1, will heed your advice in future ;) | 11:00 |
| kelli | what program can i use to wipe a disc clean-totally? | 11:00 |
| rickard | I have unaliased fonts in FF3... I have changed the option in Apperance configuration without results.. please help me.. | 11:01 |
| ramavadakattu | HOw to make symlink to point to contents of directory instead directory? | 11:01 |
| funkyHat | kelli: shred. be VERY careful that you're shredding the right device though | 11:01 |
| === calwig_ is now known as calwig | ||
| kelli | funkyHat, how do i getit | 11:02 |
| peppo | what's the lowdown on Jaunty and ATI graphics? have ATI released drivers for XOrg 1.6? | 11:02 |
| funkyHat | kelli: It's already installed | 11:02 |
| ramavadakattu | For ex: ln -s /home/pinaxsnetwork/site_media /var/www/site_media , here /var/www/site_media should point to /home/pinaxsntwork/site_media contents instead of site_media directory | 11:03 |
| dan-ubuntu | how do i make an apple remote work with a macbook 3.1 in ubuntu 8.10? | 11:03 |
| kelli | funkyHat, i'm new to this but i need help | 11:03 |
| funkyHat | kelli: actually, are you wiping a disc because you want to protect sensitive data, or do you just want to reinstall your OS? | 11:03 |
| kelli | funkyHat, data | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dan-ubuntu: run lsusb; lspci | 11:05 |
| kelli | funkyHat, cant find it | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dan-ubuntu: one line will ientify the hardware if its detected | 11:05 |
| funkyHat | kelli: ok. shred is a command-line application, it writes over files you tell it with random sequences of data, and then optionally blanks it all at the end as well, it takes quite a long time for big files, and is probably completely unnecessary if your data is on a flash device | 11:06 |
| funkyHat | kelli: also if it is a flash device writing to it lots of times isn't such a good idea anywya | 11:06 |
| funkyHat | *anyway | 11:06 |
| ubd | cant i install ubuntu on fat | 11:06 |
| funkyHat | ubd: very bad idea | 11:07 |
| ubd | is that an answer ^^ | 11:07 |
| koshari | ubd i would suspect you would have permissian problems to begin with | 11:08 |
| funkyHat | ubd: fat can't have file ownerships or permissions, so it wouldn't boot properly | 11:08 |
| ubd | alright | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ubd: are you wanting to instal ubuntu on usb by any chance? | 11:08 |
| ubd | this is an usb drive: i want downloaded torrents to be on fat. | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ubd: then create a seperate partition for torrent data | 11:09 |
| cylux | Hey guys, I have an internal sata partition that is mounted automatically at boot. What option do I need to add to my fstab so that my regular user can have read and write privledges? | 11:09 |
| ubd | whats the minimum space for ubuntu apche samba | 11:09 |
| ubd | xubuntu actually | 11:09 |
| luuik | hi there. Where can i find documentation with regards to the config of the various ubuntu server kernel packages? (specifically linux-image-2.6.27-??-server ? | 11:09 |
| koshari | ubd you could go guiless for apache and samba | 11:10 |
| ubd | 10 gb is enuf? | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ubd: 2Gb or thereabout is my guess, depends if you strip the other apps out of xubuntu | 11:10 |
| durt | cylux, change ro (read only ) to rw (read write) | 11:10 |
| ubd | koshari: can i install base only? | 11:10 |
| koshari | ubd or you could use flux thats lighter than xfce | 11:10 |
| erUSUL | luuik: which config? kernel config can be checked at /boot/config-$(uname -r) | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ubd: i run a full install with a decent rack of apps off a 5Gb / partition | 11:11 |
| koshari | ubd you sure can | 11:11 |
| ubd | how? | 11:11 |
| koshari | !minimal | 11:11 |
| zamba | is ubuntu able to resize the running partition? | 11:11 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 11:11 |
| cylux | durt: THanks, how do I make the changes take effect without restarting? | 11:11 |
| ubd | i have the whole xubuntu cd - cant i install base with this? | 11:11 |
| erUSUL | zamba: no; mounted partitions can not be edited... use a livecd if you want to do such a thing | 11:12 |
| ubd | there may be an option at startup? | 11:12 |
| ubd | is there | 11:12 |
| luuik | erUSUL: yep, thats the config. I'm trying to find a package version with a particular set of options disabled. I could do it manually, but i'd prefer not to have to customise the kernel for this installation. | 11:12 |
| koshari | ubd you could install then prune back unneded packages, | 11:12 |
| Mba7eth | guys .... if a process is running in bg by another terminal... can i run it in fg in my current terminal .... ????? | 11:12 |
| ubd | i see ok | 11:12 |
| durt | cylux, unmount (umount) the device and remount (mount -a) it. | 11:12 |
| cylux | durt: Thanks. | 11:12 |
| erUSUL | luuik: i'm afraid you will have to. there is only one version of the server kernel afaics | 11:12 |
| durt | cylux, perms might need to be changed in user/group attributes tho. | 11:13 |
| luuik | erUSUL, mmm. unfortunate. thanks :) | 11:13 |
| erUSUL | luuik: no problem | 11:13 |
| cylux | durt: It's not letting me mount it, says I still need to be root | 11:13 |
| gladio70 | #ubuntu-it | 11:14 |
| durt | cylux, to mount 'sudo mount -a' | 11:14 |
| Mba7eth | guys .... if a process is running in bg by another terminal... can i run it in fg in my current terminal .... ????? | 11:14 |
| lili | hi | 11:14 |
| ubd | is there no root acc ?! | 11:15 |
| cylux | durt: Okay, still don't have rw privledges. | 11:15 |
| Mba7eth | lili: hi | 11:15 |
| ubd | omfg | 11:15 |
| luuik | Mba7eth, don't think so. if you want to do that kind of thing, you should look at the application called "screen" | 11:15 |
| erUSUL | !root | ubd | 11:15 |
| ubottu | ubd: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 11:15 |
| koshari | ubd no you use sudo for root functions | 11:15 |
| ubd | why would i use sudo? | 11:15 |
| ubd | thats gay - no offense | 11:16 |
| sajuuk_ | hey guys what package is it to get german language to function on my system | 11:16 |
| koshari | ubd to perform root functions | 11:16 |
| ubd | this pc is going to be remotely managed... | 11:17 |
| ubd | whatever | 11:17 |
| koshari | ubd use ssh | 11:17 |
| ubd | ssh with sudo | 11:17 |
| koshari | ubd if you need to perform a root function | 11:17 |
| zamba | erUSUL: and then i have to resize the fs as well.. is this doable? | 11:18 |
| cylux | Hey guys, I have an internal sata partition that is mounted automatically at boot. What option do I need to add to my fstab so that my regular user can have read and write privledges? | 11:18 |
| zamba | erUSUL: .. if i use the live-cd, i mean | 11:18 |
| mysticdarkhack | sajuuk, tried going to system, adminitration and language support | 11:18 |
| sajuuk_ | mysticdarkhack, i will do that | 11:18 |
| erUSUL | zamba: gparted should be able to do both things without problems | 11:18 |
| durt | cylux, what device is this your main install partition? | 11:18 |
| zamba | erUSUL: ok, cool | 11:18 |
| erUSUL | zamba: but messing with partitions is allways risky bussiness backup anything important | 11:19 |
| koshari | cylux use the same settings as your root partition in fstab | 11:19 |
| cylux | durt: Nope. Seperate | 11:19 |
| durt | cylux, add a 'rw,' in front of relatime | 11:20 |
| cylux | durt: Alright | 11:21 |
| sajuuk_ | thx mysticdarkhack that was the solution :) | 11:21 |
| sajuuk_ | good night all | 11:21 |
| peppo | anyone on Jaunty with mobile ATI graphics? any workarounds? | 11:21 |
| durt | cylux, 'sudo umount /dev/<the_device>' then 'sudo mount -a' | 11:21 |
| mysticdarkhack | sajuuk, np and yw | 11:21 |
| cylux | durt: Still no rw privledges. | 11:22 |
| durt | cylux, you probably need to give the user permission to use the directory. Easy to do with 'sudo nautilus' or whatever file-manager you use. | 11:24 |
| mysticdarkhack | sa, what do yall think of the new jaunty gdm theme? | 11:24 |
| durt | cylux, just be carefull what you do running nautilus as root. | 11:24 |
| bazhang | !gksudo | 11:25 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 11:25 |

| weatherkid | sorry =[ | 11:47 |
| durt | BigMoopies, I don't know about Avidemux but it sounds like your just desribing front ends. So Gtk for Gnome and Qt for KDE. | 11:47 |

| gladiator | ikonia: yes its running.. i can see my shared folders.. but cant access them. weatherkid: thats what i was trying to do | 11:51 |
| mneptok | ubuntistas: this is why proprietary software using proprietary formats is a Bad Thing(tm) | 11:51 |
| |newbie| | ciao | 11:51 |
| dusty__ | I have tried aptitude remove gdm, but that tries to remove ubuntu-desktop too. | 11:51 |
| ikonia | henriquelm: right so you're trying to compile it - not install it, and the error states you need an xorg build environment, | 11:51 |
| ubuntistas | Word document template (application/msword) mneptok | 11:51 |
| henriquelm | ikonia, I already have gnome running, what else do I need? | 11:52 |

| ikonia | satansaunt: this is nothing to do with ubuntu support so please stop | 11:54 |
| henriquelm | ikonia, i'm sorry for the dumb question but what is a build environment? | 11:54 |
| ikonia | henriquelm: the set of xorg libraries and/or headers | 11:54 |
| ikonia | henriquelm: if your not confident with what you're doing I strongly suggest you don't try to compile this software | 11:54 |
| weatherkid | henriquelm: i agree. If you don't know what you are doing it can kill your system | 11:55 |

| ikonia | henriquelm: another vnc server, I've no idea as I don't use VNC | 11:58 |
| ikonia | henriquelm: if you explain your problems we maybe able to fix them | 11:58 |
| henriquelm | ikonia, I needed a vnc server that started to run before the logon screen, ubuntu's default vnc server doesn't do that | 11:59 |
| Oli`` | My default application for opening folders has somehow become phatch (a batch photo processing jig)... I can only open a dir if I double click onef the desktop | 11:59 |
| Oli`` | .. and navigate to where I want to go.. How can I make nautilus the default again? | 12:00 |
| mneptok | henriquelm: do you *need* VLC, or are you just trying to run grpahical apps remotely? | 12:00 |
| * ikonia nudges mneptok vlc - not vnc | 12:00 | |
| mneptok | henriquelm: IOW, do you need the entire desktop exported, or are you just trying to run a GUI app from another box? | 12:00 |
| mneptok | oh, brain fart. | 12:01 |
| kelli | how do i save a privet chat | 12:01 |
| mneptok | henriquelm: you need a graphical environment for VLC. vlc-nox might be what you want. | 12:01 |
| Kartagis | kelli, what irc client? | 12:01 |
| henriquelm | mneptok, I need to have graphical access to the server | 12:01 |

| mneptok | henriquelm: for .... ? | 12:02 |
| Gnea | henriquelm: all the time or just for certain applications? | 12:02 |
| michaeldadmum | henriquelm: you may try X over ssh | 12:02 |
| mneptok | henriquelm: i'm not trying to be nosy, but there may be *far* easier ways to do what you want than VNC. | 12:02 |
| henriquelm | mneptok, to install new apps, update, setup, reboot, etc | 12:02 |
| mneptok | henriquelm: all of those tasks can be done from the command line | 12:02 |
| henriquelm | mneptok, but not so good with linux | 12:03 |
| wanna_learn_more | !git | 12:03 |
| ubottu | Git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) | 12:03 |
| mneptok | henriquelm: and you should do them from the command line over ssh. VNC is a big security risk. | 12:03 |
| Gnea | henriquelm: is this for a corporate network or home? | 12:03 |
| mneptok | henriquelm: so what you're saying is, "I'm not so good with this OS. Help me open a large security hole." not a good idea, IMO. | 12:03 |
| henriquelm | mneptok, but it's just a small company, no big deal | 12:03 |
| mneptok | henriquelm: private data is always a big deal. | 12:04 |
| Gnea | henriquelm: hopefully your boss is not reading this forum. | 12:04 |
| mneptok | henriquelm: alternatively, you could use Landscape. | 12:04 |
| henriquelm | mneptok, what is it? | 12:04 |
| mneptok | henriquelm: remote monitoring and admin app for Ubuntu. comes as part of any Canonical support contract. | 12:05 |
| mneptok | henriquelm: http://landscape.canonical.com | 12:05 |
| henriquelm | mneptok, thanks | 12:05 |
| mneptok | henriquelm: either way, please do NOT use VNC to admin a Linux server attached to the public Internet. | 12:06 |
| Gnea | henriquelm: your best bet, if it's a production server, is to take the time and learn the commandline and do it right. | 12:06 |
| ikonia | or employ someone to run the server for you | 12:06 |
| Oli`` | mneptok & henriquelm: VNC over SSH isn't so bad... | 12:07 |
| henriquelm | mneptok, i'm using the companys network to have access to the server, not the internet | 12:07 |
| mneptok | henriquelm: that's a little better, but still .... | 12:07 |

| trapline91 | good question | 12:17 |
| Huufarted | Does Ubuntu support ntfs reading 'out of the box'? | 12:17 |

| trapline91 | gnea, where do you get piracy out of all that | 12:19 |
| Gnea | trapline91: if I were you, I'd be praying that they don't know how to see who's connected to their AP and is ganking all of their bandwidth | 12:19 |
| Huufarted | krzd, I didn't say it was. Piggy backing someone else's wifi without their knowledge or consent is, however. | 12:20 |
| xaos11 | trapline91, if you want to use someones wifi illegally, you might as well just get TOR | 12:20 |
| xaos11 | much easier | 12:20 |

| sipior | trapline91: you can set up a default route for the bulk of your traffic, and a secondary route over another device to a separate host or network for file transfers. see "man route". | 12:22 |
| trapline91 | thank you sipior | 12:22 |
| Huufarted | sipior, the only problem with that is with stuff like BitTorrent, most of the connections would go over the default route | 12:22 |
| trapline91 | Well I don't use bittorrent | 12:22 |
| Huufarted | sipior: you'd have to specify a route for each of the peers you're connected to | 12:23 |
| Huufarted | trapline, then that's a non-issue for you more than likely. | 12:23 |
| sipior | Huufarted: yep. not my problem, however :-) | 12:23 |
| kelli | anyone know how long it would take to clean a 500G hd with "shred"? | 12:23 |
| Huufarted | kelli: depends on drive speed and connection (USB/Sata/IDE) and individual PC specs. | 12:23 |
| Huufarted | trapline91: which application are you using for file sharing? | 12:24 |
| kelli | Huufarted, usb 2 | 12:24 |
| Huufarted | trapline91: if you don't mind me asking, that is. | 12:24 |
| Huufarted | kelli, more than likely, I'd say about 1-2 hours. Perhaps more. | 12:24 |

| Huufarted | dr_willis, touche. :) | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | Ruffles have Ridges! | 12:25 |
| sipior | erle-: which alternate compiler? | 12:26 |
| erle64- | llvm with gcc frontend | 12:26 |
| erle64- | sipior, | 12:26 |
| erle64- | compatibility is not my problem, my problem is "how to set up the operating system to choose another compiler by default", sipior | 12:27 |
| sipior | erle64-: might be easiest going with a "linux from scratch" approach. or gentoo. | 12:27 |
| erle64- | sipior, i just want to build a single app | 12:27 |
| erle64- | sipior, that app uses a makefile, which runs on any unix flavor | 12:27 |
| Huufarted | Is there a command to list currently mountable drives in ubuntu? I have an Ext3 Drive with multiple partitions on a USB drive and I want to mount it in Ubuntu. | 12:27 |
| henriquelm_ | thanks for the help guys | 12:28 |
| henriquelm_ | sorry i took so long to answer | 12:28 |
| sipior | erle64-: oh, i see. well, you can certainly set environment variables as needed to make sure you're using the correct version of the compiler and C library. check the "CC" variable, among others. also, try "./configure --help" if the thing uses autoconf. | 12:28 |
| henriquelm_ | someone was saying something about vnc over ssh, it that secure? | 12:28 |
| matadore | net | 12:28 |
| erle64- | sipior, ok | 12:29 |
| Huufarted | I'm having an issue mounting an Ext3 drive in Ubuntu. Anybody able to tell me where I can see a list of USB drives so I can mount it manually? | 12:29 |
| erle64- | sipior, the languages should be compatible, but the binary format not, so i need the llvm linker and c++ compilers set, too | 12:29 |
| trapline91 | Huufarted, I was wanting to just set up a shared folder on a home network | 12:29 |

| daniel-vlc | . | 12:30 |
| trapline91 | I just did some research on the "stealing wifi" and they say it isn't illigal if the wifi is open and there is no attempt to secure it. | 12:30 |
| sipior | erle64-: depending on how the makefile is generated, you may have to do a fair bit of editing. generally however, you can simply set environment variables to set compiler and linker options. | 12:30 |
| sipior | trapline91: look, just let it go. it's rude, and that's enough reason not to do it. | 12:30 |
| Gnea | !freenx | henriquelm_ | 12:30 |
| ubottu | henriquelm_: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 12:30 |
| Gnea | henriquelm_: vnc sucks :) | 12:31 |
| Huufarted | trapline91, then you can set a static route for all traffic to that IP to use a specific gateway. However, the OS should handle that provided both interfaces have different subnets | 12:31 |
| Huufarted | trapline91: then what you read is outdated. It is illegal. People have been and will continue to be charged with a crime for doing it. | 12:31 |
| Huufarted | Drop the issue, trapline91. Do not discuss using wifi without the owner's consent. It's an illegal practice and as indicated with !illegal, it is not a welcome topic. | 12:32 |
| Gnea | Huufarted: it's only as illegal as the state allows, actually.. not all states have it on the books | 12:32 |
| Gnea | Huufarted: so he should probably check with his local municipility before proceeding | 12:32 |

| archman | sipior, I cannot install it...:(, Depends: libmono-corlib2.1-cil but it is not going to be installed...tried installing it manually, but "dep is not satisfiable..." ??? | 12:59 |
| Pici | NemesisX11: Don't merge, just delete the Windows one and extend the Linux one... if thats what you intend to do. | 12:59 |
| Gnea | pauli: it should plug 'n play, but you'll need to use the network manager to get up and goign | 13:00 |
| Gnea | pauli: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html is a good place to start | 13:00 |
| NemesisX11 | hmm ill try it again | 13:00 |
| sprinkmeier | myron, something like "rename 'y/a-zA-Z0-9//c' *" it's a perl program using perl regexps, a perl guru might be able to help | 13:00 |

| sipior | archman: try an "apt-get update" first. it installs fine on my system. | 13:04 |
| beli | myron: if you just want alphanumerics to be allowed anymore...use what sprinkmeier told you...you can add more chars to the list by just...listing them ;) | 13:04 |
| archman | sipior, it's no use...what libmono2.0-cil version you got installed? | 13:06 |
| beli | myron: s/[^[:alnum:]]// ...this searchs for anything that is NOT in the [...]list...and replaces it with nothing (deleting) | 13:06 |

| _Bart_ | beli, I already thought so. thanks. trying the xorg channel now but it' s a bit quiet there | 13:13 |
| sprinkmeier | myron, "rename --verbose 's/[^[:alnum:]]/_/g' *" will replace things that aren't alpha-numeric with underscore. without the _ it just removes the characters. | 13:14 |

| SuperLag | Okay. I realize this might be a pipe dream, but I'm going to ask. On OS X, there is a terminal program called iTerm.

| SuperLag | FoolsRun: or are you just looking for a way to occasionally transfer stuff between them? | 13:53 |
| SuperLag | no, not SMB | 13:54 |
| FoolsRun | SuperLag: machine1 is a "server" (just a stand-alone machine in my house), machine2 is a laptop that will need to access shares from machine1 when it's on-network | 13:54 |
| SuperLag | SMB is for Windows sharing | 13:54 |
| Akkernight | tempa434, how do I choose a explicit install? | 13:54 |
| romici | I dont know, I just guessed...hehehe | 13:54 |
| SuperLag | FoolsRun: then I would use NFS | 13:54 |
| romici | I use it like that, Iḿ doing a triple boot...I just loo up in Media, en xelect the drive I want, and I trasnfere files just like windows. | 13:55 |
| FoolsRun | SuperLag: There used to be a gui way to create NFS shares --I don't see it anymore, though. I assume I'll be editing config files to set it up? | 13:55 |
| SuperLag | FoolsRun: this is a very short and crude explanation. You define what "shares" (the proper term is 'exports') in /etc/exports on your server. Then you add them to /etc/fstab on your "client" | 13:55 |
| SuperLag | FoolsRun: you need NFS stuff installed and enabled on the server, and you need to know how to set up the rules properly | 13:56 |
| SuperLag | FoolsRun: make sense? | 13:56 |
| durt | FoolsRun, do you not have a shared folders dialog in system or system tools? | 13:56 |
| FoolsRun | SuperLag: I'm betting I can find a howto on that somewhere. Yes, that makes sense. Is there a reason NFS sharing was removed from the Nautilus gui in Intrepid? (was it? I don't see it anymore) | 13:56 |
| durt | FoolsRun, from applications. | 13:57 |
| FoolsRun | durt: no, I don't see "Shared Folders" in System/Administration | 13:57 |
| SuperLag | FoolsRun: as to the poobah's reasons for removing the GUI tool, I'm not sure. | 13:57 |
| tempa434 | Akker : What version of ubuntu ? | 13:57 |
| FoolsRun | durt: oh, no, I don't see it under Applications/System Tools either | 13:57 |
| SuperLag | FoolsRun: I just use the final product :) | 13:57 |
| FoolsRun | SuperLag: no problem, just curious. Seems like Ubuntu defaults to SMB, which makes sense. | 13:57 |
| SuperLag | FoolsRun: for Windows, yes. | 13:58 |
| SuperLag | FoolsRun: not for *nix to *nix | 13:58 |
| FoolsRun | SuperLag: For Windows and MacOS. It's a shitty standard, but it's a common one. | 13:58 |
| Akkernight | tempa434, I pm'ed you the error report, incase it was too long and was considered flooding, I used the command sudo apt-get install libstdc++6-4.3-dev 4.3.2-1ubuntu12 | 13:59 |
| durt | FoolsRun, I'm running Jaunty Xubuntu and it's there. With my nfs share. | 13:59 |
| FoolsRun | durt: all of my access to my "machine1" is remote and some admin gui tools don't seem to like that. I've read a bunch of bug reports on it. In short, in both shares-admin and users-admin the "unlock" button is grayed out no matter how I run it. | 14:01 |
| FoolsRun | So I'll just do it all via command line | 14:01 |
| Tobberoth | Can the ubuntu InstallationMinimalCD be used from a USB stick somehow? | 14:03 |
| FoolsRun | Thanks for your help, guys! | 14:04 |
| Tobberoth | feels kinda dumb to waste a whole CD on a 10MB file | 14:04 |
| FoolsRun | Tobberoth: CDs are cheaper than thumb drives, though :) | 14:04 |
| durt | !usb | Tobberoth | 14:04 |

| Gothfunc | hi. just installed aptana. the workspace is on my fileserver, and .metadata and contents is being created with root as group and owner, instead of the user i'm running aptana as. i've tried chown/chgrp -R, but all new files are owned by root. this inevitably causes permission errors. any ideas why this is happening? | 14:05 |

| ActionParsnip1 | !wicd | 14:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd | 14:12 |
| guilitev | It's to install on a pc without connection with networl manager | 14:12 |
| kitche | guilitev: http://apt.wicd.net | 14:13 |
| kitche | guilitev: only took two seconds to look on wicd website | 14:13 |
| guilitev | I look | 14:13 |
| durt | sky_ most likely not a virus prob. Maybe google for instructions on how to get WoW to work in wine. | 14:13 |
| sky_ | durt: i already run it for a months | 14:13 |
| sky_ | durt: but now i get this error :X | 14:14 |
| guilitev | Sorrry but I can find | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | guilitev: you can set static ip with /etc/etwork/interfaces to get a connection | 14:14 |
| guilitev | Somebody have the direct link ? | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | guilitev: even if someone gives you a direct link, you will need to satisfy dependancies and the whole thing just gets unfeasible | 14:15 |
| ubuntu_ | hey what was the command sry ' forget | 14:15 |
| durt | sky_ , I stand corrected, try clamav. | 14:15 |
| ubuntu_ | cp dev zero dev | 14:15 |

| truk77 | Hi there. Can anybody recommend the best "howto" to use for installing a custom kernel into Ubuntu Hardy? I've done Kernel recompiles before, but I want to make sure I don't screw anything up | 14:53 |
| sebsebseb | truk77: why do you want to do a custom kernel? | 14:53 |
| dsdeiz | uhm, i can hear myself using the mic, although ubuntu doesn't seem to be able to record it | 14:53 |
| truk77 | sebsebseb: I'm trying to get iscsi to work, and it looks like there might be some kernel voodoo involved | 14:53 |
| dsdeiz | i'm testing it using gnome-sound-recorder | 14:53 |
| vigo | paper: Are those supported in that install? | 14:53 |
| sebsebseb | truk77: not quite sure, but I think probably not, also you could upgrade to 8.10 for a later kernel | 14:54 |
| sebsebseb | truk77: well I assume 8.10 has a later kernel than 8.04 | 14:54 |
| dsdeiz | oh, after running gnome-sound-recorder, my mic stopped working | 14:54 |
| paper | vigo......i can see flashplayer only with Opera browser | 14:54 |
| truk77 | sebsebseb: strangely enough, 8.10 wouldn't even boot on the system they were trying to load it on. I think my best bet at this point is to go with Hardy and try to patch the kernel by hand | 14:55 |
| sebsebseb | paper: yes Firefox and FLash hum | 14:55 |
| sebsebseb | paper: also why not just use Flash from the repo? | 14:55 |
| sebsebseb | truk77: how much RAM? | 14:55 |
| vigo | paper: Ok, then I assume it is a bad or messed up browser, update it or fix it to the supported one | 14:55 |
| paper | install flash player from synaptic?? yes... i did | 14:55 |
| sebsebseb | paper: or how about trying a Flash alternative such as Gansh or Swfdec, you may find that's good enough for your Flash usage | 14:55 |
| truk77 | sebsebseb: it's got at least a gig...I haven't actually been given access to the machine yet. Just getting my ducks in a row, so to speak. I seriously doubt the RAM is the issue | 14:56 |

| sarmisak | hi all | 14:59 |
| sebsebseb | sarmisak: hello | 14:59 |
| sebsebseb | bob_brain: you got an old graphics card? | 14:59 |
| Kiaas | I'm on xubuntu 8.10. I have XFCE configured just the way I want it...for a different user. | 15:00 |
| bob_brain | sebsebseb: its and Nvidia geforce go 7600 | 15:00 |
| sebsebseb | bob_brain: so a resaobnlly new card? | 15:00 |
| bob_brain | sebsebseb: so its not that old | 15:00 |
| Kiaas | How can I copy the settings for XFCE over for that different user, and deny them the ability to change it? | 15:00 |
| sebsebseb | bob_brain: yes certain Nivida cards have issues with xorg it seems | 15:00 |
| vigo | sebsebseb: I thought the 8.04.2 was the same as the 8.10? | 15:00 |
| sebsebseb | bob_brain: ,because NIvidia don't suppourt xorg properly for every card they have | 15:00 |
| sebsebseb | vigo: oh 8.04.2 don't know if they put the 8.10 xorg in that or not | 15:00 |
| bob_brain | sebsebseb: it was working fine prior to my upgrade | 15:01 |
| sebsebseb | vigo: ,but in the former 8.04 stuff differnet xorg | 15:01 |
| sebsebseb | bob_brain: to be honest 8.10 is hardly an upgrade over 8.04 | 15:01 |
| vigo | sebsebseb: Yes, I think the 8.04.2 has that stuff | 15:01 |
| sebsebseb | bob_brain: that auto shut down feature, is about the only new end user 8.10 feature that I use | 15:02 |
| sebsebseb | bob_brain: if not the only | 15:02 |
| sebsebseb | bob_brain: well and the 8.10 version of Banshee from the repo, but can get that in hardy with a ppa anyway | 15:02 |
| sky_ | can i resize ntfs partition from linux and create a new ext3 or any unix like fs ? | 15:02 |
| sebsebseb | bob_brain: anyway I am going 9.04 alpha6 later on today :) | 15:02 |
| bob_brain | sebsebseb: well anyways, I did the 'upgrade' and now I can't get my resolution to work properly | 15:03 |
| bob_brain | sebsebseb: sounds very cool | 15:03 |
| erUSUL | sky_: yes; depending on the disk layout | 15:03 |
| sebsebseb | sky_: yes you can | 15:03 |
| Kiaas | Am I going to have to redo all my customizations for XFCE on the other account? and then, how can I lock it so that user can't change it afterwards? (deploying normal xubuntu 8.10 for a school.) | 15:03 |
| sebsebseb | sky_: ,but you can't resize the partitions that Ubuntu is using, since they are running, and so Live CD to resize those | 15:03 |

| sebsebseb | BigMoopies: wel no versions of UBuntu have Ext4 suppourt yet, but 9.04 released at the end of April will have | 15:06 |
| BigMoopies | sebsebseb, OK. What's the big deal about it ? | 15:06 |
| Kiaas | Let me rephrase my question... I'm not sure if this is a #ubuntu or #xfce question, but I have XFCE configured the way I want it for another user to have it, how can I copy the settings over, or do I need to redo them? and also, after the settings are in place, how can I lock it so the user can't change it? | 15:06 |
| sebsebseb | Anna_111: ok that's not got anything to do with the partitions | 15:06 |
| sebsebseb | BigMoopies: it will be faster and such | 15:07 |
| Anna_111 | sebsebseb!!!! What gives? | 15:07 |
| BigMoopies | sebsebseb, OK. I'm guessing the next LTS next year will have it ? | 15:07 |

| afancy | ok | 15:10 |
| BigMoopies | sebsebseb, I tried to install Intrepid and it wouldn't get an internal IP and connect to my network. The router light would just flash and twinkle like there was 'high traffic' | 15:11 |
| keepsake | afancy: The alpha6 of 9.04 is released though, and the beta is coming soon. | 15:11 |

| afancy | now, but i cannot recover my xwindow | 15:12 |
| BigMoopies | sebsebseb, I'm a "whatever works" kind of guy. I mean.. Why should I be making Intrepid work if I already have hardy, or put myself through such things if updates are coming in on a LTS just like the other ones ? | 15:12 |
| sebsebseb | BigMoopies: lol the other ones have some more advanced features. ,but yes 8.10 and 8.04 not that different really, but 9.04 will be quite differnet to 8.04 | 15:13 |
| BigMoopies | sebsebseb, I mean really I am asking. Besides the fact they have new versions of KDE/Gnome | 15:13 |

| Anna_111 | sebsebseb is right, sipior. I have about 30gb available for ubuntu | 15:54 |
| Anna_111 | sipior, will it matter if the /home us subsumed by the / ? | 15:54 |
| sipior | Anna_111: no, but i generally prefer a separate /home partition, to minimise the pain of upgrades... | 15:55 |
| keepsake | Guest86868: In other words, you do different things depending on what you find in the .tar.gz. | 15:55 |
| sebsebseb | sipior: yep I told her to do a seperate home :) | 15:55 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about efsck | 16:32 |
| wanna_learn_more | !fsck | 16:32 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 16:32 |
| LjL | danes_: yes, but you have to actually mount it. the link i gave you should have instructions for that. anyway short version, "sudo mount //servername/sharename /mnt/whatever -o username=blah" | 16:32 |
| Anna_111 | sipior: I am in /home now and I am seeing only two dirs. both are colored in blue and there is nothing in them | 16:32 |
| cathy | so can i use a program on add or remove? | 16:33 |
| sipior | Anna_111: actually, could you try without the -s? just pastebin "sudo du /home"? | 16:33 |
| danes_ | LjL. thanks | 16:33 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: what do you want to install? | 16:33 |
| keepsake | !askthebot | wanna_learn_more | 16:33 |
| ubottu | wanna_learn_more: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 16:33 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: you want to know how to instlal and remove programs in Ubuntu? | 16:33 |
| oCean_ | wanna_learn_more: apt-get needs arguments. like install or update. But then you have to use "sudo" -like "sudo apt-get install name_of_package" | 16:33 |
| cathy | itunes like program for my ipod | 16:33 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: oh right | 16:33 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: itunes itself you can't do in Ubuntu, but there is an alternative | 16:34 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: well you can do itunes if you run WIndows inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine | 16:34 |
| Ronald_ | my ubuntu install doesn't have an admin group... How do I add that? | 16:34 |
| saisai | how do I get programs to display on menu bar? When I installed netbeans it created a desktop icon but I want it to be added on my menu bar? | 16:34 |
| === andyh2|away is now known as andyh2 | ||
| LjL | saisai: ... it created a desktop icon? | 16:34 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: http://www.osalt.com mentions an Itunes alternative, also this is a useful similar kind of site http://www.linuxeq.com | 16:35 |
| saisai | yes | 16:35 |
| LjL | saisai: just how did you install it? | 16:35 |
| cathy | does only itunes work with ipods? | 16:35 |
| keepsake | saisai: Right-click on the menu and choose "Edit Menus", then add a shortcut. | 16:35 |
| cathy | ty | 16:35 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: no Banshee can sync an ipod | 16:35 |
| lasivian | exit | 16:35 |
| wanna_learn_more | can i install any kernel-devel for intrepid? | 16:35 |
| Anna_111 | sipior: I think I know what happened. These are mostly my mp3 files from the C drive of win XP looks like Ubuntu install imported them instead of pointing to them. Else I have no other explanation | 16:35 |
| === lasivian_ is now known as Lasivian | ||
| LjL | !elaborate | wanna_learn_more | 16:35 |
| ubottu | wanna_learn_more: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 16:35 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: by the way you get most software from Ubuntu's servers :) ,but then for stuff you want that isn't in there, you get from a trusted source | 16:35 |
| noren | saisai: did u use wine to install | 16:36 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: Ubuntu is not like WIndows where you got to go on websites to get programs, or put in a CD or what have you | 16:36 |
| saisai | no not wine | 16:36 |
| keepsake | saisai: Do the Edit Menus thing. | 16:36 |
| saisai | I downloaded the binary files | 16:36 |
| sipior | Anna_111: yeah, could be. the installer being "annoyingly helpful", i'm afraid :-) | 16:36 |
| cathy | yep | 16:36 |
| saisai | and used the ./ command | 16:36 |
| LjL | saisai: terrible idea. netbeans is in the repositories, so why did you do that? | 16:36 |
| Lasivian | I have a problem with a bluetooth dongle not showing up, dmesg and lsusb here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/132566/ thanks | 16:36 |
| saisai | i didnt know... | 16:36 |
| LjL | !packages | saisai | 16:36 |
| ubottu | saisai: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 16:36 |
| saisai | but the repository didnt have the latest netbeans | 16:37 |
| === Mud|bnc is now known as Mud|lunch | ||
| arvind_khadri | !latest | saisai | 16:37 |
| ubottu | saisai: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 16:37 |
| Gnea | !ipod | cathy | 16:37 |
| ubottu | cathy: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 16:37 |
| beli | is installing from source an awkward way? *G* | 16:37 |
| LjL | beli: yes | 16:37 |
| keepsake | saisai: Installing from source is absolutely fine. | 16:37 |
| sebsebseb | !RockBox | 16:37 |
| ubottu | rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! | 16:37 |
| cathy | ty =) | 16:37 |
| jharkn | ./ isn't a command it's a location ("." means the current directory) | 16:37 |
| LjL | keepsake: not if the package is in the repositories, no | 16:37 |
| Anna_111 | sipior, I guess that's what happened. Now, if I delete these will they be deleted from my C disk because I can see the C drive files in Ubuntu? | 16:37 |
| beli | LjL: hmm, and what to do if you need special compile time options? | 16:37 |
| keepsake | LjL: Installing from source is perfectly normal, and is used when you need a newer version or a custom build. | 16:37 |
| LjL | beli: if you *really* need such things, then you probably know what you're doing, in which case you'll use your best judgment | 16:38 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: I would recommend Banshee as your music player in Ubuntu. | 16:38 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: it can also do video and theres VLC as well for that | 16:38 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: your on 8.10? | 16:38 |
| gRunt | Hi all is there any way in linux to find out what my motherboard and sata is? I want to install my windowsXP disc on dual boot but I keep getting errors as I don't have chipset and sata drivers so I need to be able to integrate some....any ideas where to look? | 16:38 |
| LjL | keepsake: then if the stuff you installed is actually a dependency of something else, at best you may have version conflicts, and at worst (i.e. if you were silly enough to install in /usr) you'll have APT stop working. | 16:38 |
| keepsake | sebsebseb: Ideally though, mplayer or a GUI version of it. | 16:38 |
| sebsebseb | keepsake: why? | 16:39 |
| beli | LjL: cant be for real....ubuntu is linux and you should be able to compile userspace programs NOT in the repository without beeing called "doing awkward things" ;) | 16:39 |
| keepsake | sebsebseb: More compatibility all-around. | 16:39 |
| saisai | Anyways I tried the "right click " edit menus but I dont know how to find the netbeans program. I want to add it to my menu bar. | 16:39 |
| Anna_111 | sipior: what's the ls command that spans all file systems and dirs to look for metacharacters like *.mp3 | 16:39 |
| sipior | Anna_111: as long as you're sure that you're deleting from the correct partition, you should be fine. might be worth making sure you have a backup if it's a big issue | 16:39 |
| sebsebseb | keepsake: yeah maybe, but Banshee is still :) | 16:39 |
| keepsake | saisai: Right-click the icon on your desktop | 16:39 |
| keepsake | saisai: Find properties, then look at the COMMAND | 16:39 |
| LjL | beli: if it's not in the repositories, then i find compiling it quite acceptable | 16:39 |
| gRunt | Hi all is there any way in linux to find out what my motherboard and sata is? I want to install my windowsXP disc on dual boot but I keep getting errors as I don't have chipset and sata drivers so I need to be able to integrate some....any ideas where to look? | 16:39 |
| keepsake | saisai: Copy/paste that as the command of a "New Item" in Edit Menus. | 16:40 |
| sipior | Anna_111: "find . -name *.mp3 -print" | 16:40 |
| cathy | ubottu: i am thinking of getting the new ipod shuffle will this work with it? "Ubuntu works very well with iPods, except the iPod Touch, iPhone, and any other future generation" =) | 16:40 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:40 |
| beli | LjL: thanks :) and building a package for it....better than doing make install ;) | 16:40 |
| saisai | ok makes sense now :) | 16:40 |
| saisai | cool thanks guys | 16:40 |
| LjL | beli: that is definitely the best thing to do. | 16:40 |
| Paddy_EIRE | saisai, joy? | 16:40 |
| sipior | Anna_111: or "find / -name *.mp3 -print", but that will likely take a while | 16:40 |
| cathy | lol i was trying to takl to a bot | 16:41 |
| Paddy_EIRE | LjL whatever happened to the "how to install anything in ubuntu" factoid? | 16:41 |

| Paddy_EIRE | LjL cheers mate | 16:42 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: ,but that should be a last resort, | 16:42 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: before using a psyical Windows install | 16:42 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: yes you can have WIndows inside Ubuntu | 16:42 |

| ikonia | wanna_learn_more: you don't need to recompile I kernel for that | 16:47 |
| cathy | Paddy_EIRE i don't have one now but thinking off getting one but i wana no if it works with unbuntu | 16:47 |
| LjL | beli: yes, but it should have been two different messages - the second one being about a much more quick-and-dirty method to make packages | 16:47 |
| beli | LjL: ah, i use checkinstall on slackware... | 16:47 |
| ikonia | wanna_learn_more: I believe thats just a module | 16:47 |

| Paddy_EIRE | cathy, oh.. I use the previous nano to the new one | 16:48 |

| sebsebseb | stabbyjoe12: heh ok uhmmmm | 16:49 |
| ikonia | wanna_learn_more: yes, thats right they do, but you don't need to recompile a kernel to change / use a module | 16:49 |
| tim_ | slayer98 | 16:49 |
| Paddy_EIRE | stabbyjoe12, windows live messenger is for windows... simple as that | 16:49 |
| cathy | Paddy_EIRE: where do i get that from? | 16:50 |
| sebsebseb | stabbyjoe12: that's one of the worst programs ever :) ,but it really does help to lock stupid people into Windows. Linux has some good alternatives though | 16:50 |
| jharkn | stabbyjoe12: try 'emesene' | 16:50 |
| stabbyjoe12 | paddy_EIRE_ not somple as that | 16:50 |
| beli | LjL: i just forgot that checkinstall could be configured to pack .deb files | 16:50 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !messenger | stabbyjoe12 | 16:50 |

| ikonia | wanna_learn_more: one moment I'll grab you some info | 16:50 |
| beli | LjL: now i just need to watch out the ubuntu common fs structure | 16:50 |
| Paddy_EIRE | stabbyjoe12, then you are out of luck | 16:50 |
| sebsebseb | stabbyjoe12: yes there is Pidgin and Kopete multi protocall network, but you will find they lack your stupid MSN features | 16:50 |
| wanna_learn_more | ikonia:okay,lets do it :) | 16:50 |
| stabbyjoe12 | not really cuase many people have dont it | 16:51 |
| sebsebseb | stabbyjoe12: however there is also AMSN and Kmess | 16:51 |

| Paddy_EIRE | stabbyjoe12, well you are out of luck | 16:51 |
| stabbyjoe12 | ive tryed them alllll trust me | 16:51 |
| Paddy_EIRE | and WLM is just an advertisement app | 16:51 |
| sebsebseb | stabbyjoe12: how old are you? | 16:51 |
| stabbyjoe12 | 22 y? | 16:52 |
| jharkn | even emesene? ;) | 16:52 |

| keepsake | jharkn: emesene is good, but lacks a lot of features | 16:52 |
| Gnea | sebsebseb: LG is a company that makes hardware and other peripherals, such as mp3 players, cd/dvd drives, dvd players, TVs, etc :) | 16:52 |
| sebsebseb | stabbyjoe12: I mean it's stupid people that are locked into WIndows LIve Messenger mainly. however if you really must have it in Ubuntu, there is a way | 16:52 |
| Paddy_EIRE | stabbyjoe12, try empathy | 16:52 |
| stabbyjoe12 | i no there is | 16:52 |
| stabbyjoe12 | and ive tryed it | 16:52 |
| stabbyjoe12 | im half way there | 16:52 |
| sebsebseb | stabbyjoe12: however the only way your going to get WIndows LIve Messenger is by running Windows inside Ubuntu | 16:52 |
| sipior | sky_: have you mounted the partition somewhere? | 16:52 |
| sebsebseb | stabbyjoe12: I belive Wine and all that will fail with it | 16:53 |
| stabbyjoe12 | no | 16:53 |
| jharkn | keepsake: yeah true | 16:53 |
| sky_ | yes | 16:53 |
| Paddy_EIRE | stabbyjoe12, no what? | 16:53 |
| beli | sky_: what does "can't copy" mean? any error? | 16:53 |

| sky_ | sipior: mounted | 16:53 |
| sebsebseb | stabbyjoe12: no there is not | 16:53 |

| yeason | I recently installed 9.04 and I cannot connect to my network. It appears to be working but when it sends a DHCP request it just times out without getting a response. I also do not seem to be able to set static ips. Any suggestions? | 16:54 |
| sky_ | bell: well is in my native language but i try to translate it : you cant copy it because you dont have permissions to create it here | 16:54 |
| ikonia | !jaunty > yeason | 16:54 |
| ubottu | yeason, please see my private message | 16:54 |
| sipior | sky_: you'll want to make a directory inside that newly-mounted volume, and make yourself the owner of it. | 16:54 |
| stabbyjoe12 | sebsebseb i no and the itunes alternatives are fine | 16:54 |
| sebsebseb | stabbyjoe12: if you want certain Windows shit such as WIndows Live Messenger and Itunes, your going to need to run them in Windows. or if it's an Itunes you could run it on a Mac of course | 16:54 |
| sky_ | sipior: yes :) | 16:54 |
| ikonia | sebsebseb: please control your language | 16:54 |
| beli | sky_: so you mounted it for wrong uid/gid | 16:54 |
| wanna_learn_more | ikonia:just at pm | 16:54 |
| ikonia | wanna_learn_more: ok | 16:54 |
| sebsebseb | ikonia: uh yeah | 16:54 |

| beli | sky_: and read about howto provide mount options for uid and gid | 16:54 |
| wanna_learn_more | ikonia:but still at pm because the chat is very2 long,thanks all GBU ^^ | 16:54 |
| sebsebseb | stabbyjoe12: if you must have WIndows Live Messenger, then you will need Windows for it, it's as simple as that | 16:55 |
| sipior | sky_: yes, meaning you've already done so? | 16:55 |
| sky_ | sssssss | 16:55 |
| ikonia | wanna_learn_more: ok | 16:55 |
| sky_ | yea | 16:55 |
| stabbyjoe12 | sebsebseb no its not that kind of attitude will never progress an os | 16:55 |
| sky_ | i already restarted PC | 16:55 |
| stabbyjoe12 | think out of the box:) | 16:55 |
| beli | sky_: you dont need to restart...read what i told you before | 16:55 |
| sky_ | oh yea and before there was Windows Vista | 16:55 |
| Paddy_EIRE | stabbyjoe12, I can with absolute certainty tell you that WLM will not run on linux at all... unless you use a vm | 16:55 |
| pvtpete | hi.. back | 16:55 |
| sky_ | beli: i tested if dont destroy my grub | 16:55 |
| sebsebseb | stabbyjoe12: do you think Microsoft care about making Desktop Linux popular or any other OS? of course not, hence why they make sure that later versions of WIndows LIve Messenger only work properly on Windows | 16:55 |

| slipstenen | Tobbe: Ultimate Boot CD has the Super Grub tool that can recover the grub for you. Maybe an option? | 17:21 |
| sky_ | cathy: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 17:21 |
| HentaiDebian | sebsebseb, maybe using another computer, give the user beneift of doubt | 17:21 |
| Tobbe | slipstenen: Hmm, I'll look into it | 17:21 |
| sebsebseb | HentaiDebian: that could be it sure | 17:21 |
| fiber_cut | One more question can I install it onto a SD card and boot? The install goes fine but when it reboots it just sits there. Is it installing grub into the wrong place? | 17:21 |
| cathy | sebsebseb: because i don't have oprea on my laptop | 17:21 |
| sky_ | sebsebseb: dont confuse him :D | 17:21 |
| sebsebseb | cathy: you can have Opera in Ubuntu as well by the way | 17:21 |

| ActionParsnip | opera ftw | 17:22 |
| sebsebseb | sky_: I thought it was a she? cathy is a woamns name | 17:22 |
| HentaiDebian | guess cathy has no idea you can use things other then opera to use irc | 17:22 |

| Huufarted | Question for you guys. My server keeps dropping and I"m not sure why. Running Ubuntu Desktop 8.10. Unable to connect by telnet, ssh, ftp, http when this happens. X is running, I can move the mouse, but the image on the screen itself is frozen and I can't type. | 17:42 |
| beli | ChrizC: i want to make sure it isnt your media and not your hardare...cause i think its one or both of these | 17:42 |
| quibbler | zipper: i don't use anti virus program but i would suggest you try the ubuntuforums | 17:42 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !firewall | baber | 17:42 |
| ubottu | baber: 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). | 17:42 |
| Huufarted | In regards to my server dropping, I think this MIGHT be related, but I'm not sure... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/132598/ | 17:43 |
| aclonedsheep | is there a way to repair my partition table? | 17:43 |
| ChrizC | beli: have you heard of Canonical making TWO faulty discs in the same line? | 17:43 |
| quibbler | zipper: google avg site: ubuntuforums.org | 17:43 |
| beli | baber: you can use netstat to see whats going on...or nmap as a port scanner....and to close these ports the best way is to stop the service behind....then or additionally use a firewall solution... | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Huufarted: have you configured your firewall any? | 17:43 |
| zipper | quibbler: ok yhanks | 17:43 |
| beli | ChrizC: UDMA cable... | 17:43 |
| Huufarted | ActionParsnip, basic IPTables are set up, but they're set to allow all from any to any | 17:43 |
| quibbler | zipper: you are welcome | 17:43 |
| ChrizC | beli: what is that? | 17:43 |
| beli | ChrizC: guess A...... | 17:44 |
| ActionParsnip | beli: the ribbon cable for PATA drives | 17:44 |
| Huufarted | ActionParsnip: The firewall in use is a generic Linksys at the moment. | 17:44 |
| bin10101 | I am having trouble with cups...what does it mean if there is a foomatic driver vs a simplified vs a notsimplified driver? | 17:44 |
| adac | Does anyone know how to password protect the access to my usb stick? | 17:44 |
| ChrizC | beli: I've just come from school, I'm not very alert for guessing games now. | 17:44 |
| beli | baber: to see the packets flowing use a packet sniffer.....but i think you better start reading more | 17:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Huufarted: thats a router, the firewall is on the WAN side so wont affect internal communication | 17:44 |
| baber | beli: is your means that first with netstat check ports and with iptables close them? | 17:45 |
| beli | ChrizC: you named it guess A and B before.... | 17:45 |
| beli | ChrizC: i am not playing | 17:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Huufarted: can you connect via ip? | 17:45 |
| bin10101 | is foomatic better than Gutenprint drivers? | 17:45 |
| Huufarted | ActionParsnip: I know. As far as the Ubuntu machine is concerned, I did have firestarter installed at one point, but when I realized I NEEDED a gui to run it, I removed it. | 17:45 |
| beli | baber: yes...at first you need to understand whats going on...then you can react...isnt it that way? | 17:45 |
| Huufarted | ActionParsnip: when the server drops, I cannot. I can connect to it right now, however. | 17:45 |
| ChrizC | beli: the powers of Wikipedia say "Ultra Direct Memory Access?" | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Huufarted: well iptables is still there, just not configured | 17:46 |
| beli | ChrizC: your harddrive is blank? no needed data on it? | 17:46 |
| Huufarted | ActionParsnip: would that cause the issues with X I was seeing as well? | 17:46 |
| ChrizC | beli: correct | 17:46 |
| beli | ChrizC: so do a stress test for i/o not using your cdrom drive....you can use dd for that | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Huufarted: not sure, have you tried stopping the listening apps and only running one of them, like ssh | 17:47 |
| ChrizC | sorry beli, I'm a linux newbie so you'll have to explain how to do that, sorry :P | 17:47 |
| Tobbe | slipstenen: That's amazing! windows fixmbr actually fixed grub O.o | 17:47 |
| aclonedsheep | really? | 17:47 |

| aclonedsheep | i wonder if it could help me | 17:47 |

When I go in games they say my IP is 127.12.34.56 and when I go into the terminal I can ping 127.12.34.56 and ssh to it and it shows up as the computer I am using, however my IP is 192.168.2.3. What is going on? How can I make it resolve to the correct ip? | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | aclonedsheep | 17:48 |
| ubottu | aclonedsheep: 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 | 17:48 |
| Huufarted | ActionParsnip: that's the problem. When it locks up, it could be in an hour, it could be in 4 hours, it could be 24 hours. There's no pattern. I also can't find anything hardware related in the logs. | 17:48 |
| aclonedsheep | ActionParsnip thanks, i've been following those directions | 17:48 |
| Huufarted | ActionParsnip: the odd thing is, stuff still gets LOGGED to those logs while it looks like it's locked up. | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Huufarted: check dmesg | tail when it hangs and recovers | 17:48 |
| beli | ChrizC: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/your_hardrive_you_want_to_install_ubuntu_to bs=1024 for example | 17:49 |
| ChrizC | akazawa: I have a feeling the 127 one is your INTERNAL ip address, whereas 192 is your IP address for everyone else, either that or vice-versa | 17:49 |
| Huufarted | ActionParsnip: the only recover I can do is when I do a hard shutdown and dmesg is reset on boot up | 17:49 |
| beli | ChrizC: and see if there are i/o errors again | 17:49 |
| ChrizC | beli: and I'd do that in terminal, yes? | 17:49 |
| saisai | How do I move a file from one file browser to another. It says "permission denied"? | 17:49 |
| aclonedsheep | ActionParsnip: The problem is when I fdisk -l I only see my NTFS partition...no linux partition | 17:49 |
| syockit | akazawa: but does it work using your 192 ip? | 17:49 |
| beli | ChrizC: yes, but again: the whole drive will be overwritten with zeros | 17:49 |
| ActionParsnip | akazawa: 127.x.y.z is a loopback device | 17:49 |
| akazawa | ChrizC: No it's not a real IP address | 17:49 |
| saisai | How do I move a file from one file browser to another file browser. It says "permission denied"? | 17:49 |
| Huufarted | ActionParsnip: I have an idea. I can set up something like this on the main console: tail -f /var/log/dmesg > ~/dmesg.log | 17:50 |
| akazawa | ActionParsnip: I never set one up, how come its showing up now | 17:50 |
| Huufarted | ActionParsnip: You're a helluva guy no matter what everybody else says. | 17:50 |
| quibbler | !sudo | saisai: | 17:50 |
| ubottu | saisai:: 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) | 17:50 |

| riwa | I'm trying to configure xinerama. And everything is working fine except that it black and white. I can't find anything on google except that I should add "Option "COMPOSITE" somewhere. This really bugs me. | 17:50 |

| Fritzla | editor lol^ | 17:51 |
| aclonedsheep | ActionParsnip : I know you are busy but did you get to read what my issue was or have any ideas? IF not i'm sorry to bug you | 17:51 |
| beli | ChrizC: depends on your hardware... | 17:51 |
| ActionParsnip | akazawa: All PCs have looopback but your game may make its own device' | 17:51 |
| akazawa | ActionParsnip: it doesn't show up in ifconfig -a | 17:51 |

| ActionParsnip | aclonedsheep: does the disk show up in bios? | 17:52 |
| ubottu | Fritzla, please see my private message | 17:52 |

| ChrizC | 2, beli. | 17:52 |
| akazawa | ActionParsnip: can I PM you? | 17:53 |
| quibbler | saisai: what are you trying to do? | 17:53 |
| syockit | akazawa: but since you get to ssh it, it's not specific to the game, correct? maybe some avahi thing got it up... | 17:53 |
| beli | ChrizC: both are there for linux? | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | akazawa: maybe its created when the game is ran | 17:53 |
| ChrizC | beli: yes. Both are nuked. | 17:53 |
| beli | ok | 17:53 |
| saisai | I just want to move a file from one directory to another | 17:53 |
| saisai | but its saying permission denied | 17:53 |
| beli | ChrizC: so i guess you have one harddrive connected as primary master.... | 17:53 |
| akazawa | ActionParsnip: the game is run under wine | 17:53 |
| ChrizC | saisai: what folders to + from? | 17:54 |
| ChrizC | beli: correct. | 17:54 |
| beli | ChrizC: since you are using old hardware....it should be /dev/sda | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | akazawa: id heck the game's settings. see if theres anything weird with respect to loopback devices | 17:54 |
| akazawa | syockit: yeah, I was thinking something like that | 17:54 |
| ChrizC | I want to use my newer, bigger drive? | 17:54 |
| beli | ChrizC: or /dev/hda | 17:54 |
| beli | ChrizC: give it a try | 17:54 |
| jophish | If I have a brightness function key, and it isn't registering in acpi_listen. Is there any hope of me being able to use it? | 17:54 |
| akazawa | ActionParsnip: there isn't, it's a windows game | 17:54 |
| ChrizC | beli: for a newer secondary drive, would it be hdb? | 17:54 |
| saisai | quibbler: From a folder in "home" to a folder in "usr" | 17:54 |
| saisai | How do you know these things? | 17:55 |
| quibbler | saisai: you need to be root in a terminal type: gksudo nautilus this will open a file browser as root | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | akazawa: maybe its a weid quirk in wine | 17:55 |
| saisai | should I just buy a linux book and read? | 17:55 |
| Axan | Hi | 17:55 |
| akazawa | ActionParsnip: it's not wine | 17:55 |
| beli | ChrizC: right...but i recommend to install the base to the primary master....for no reason :) | 17:55 |
| saisai | I feel like a retard asking these Qs | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | akazawa: but to connect to yourself use localhost as the host name, other systems will use your class c ip as you'd expect | 17:55 |
| saisai | a windows retard | 17:55 |
| saisai | ok good command thanks | 17:56 |
| ChrizC | beli: "dd: opening `/dev/hda': Permission denied" | 17:56 |
| beli | ChrizC: you need to be superuser | 17:56 |
| Axan | I got problems using SSH, I can connect my server, but as soon as I type "cat <file>" or "top" or any command with few return lines expected, then the ssh client freeze.. I must close and re-open terminal and make a new connection :/ Any idea ?? | 17:56 |
| beli | ChrizC: sudo bash and do all the commands from that shell | 17:56 |
| ChrizC | oh cheers | 17:57 |

| extor | what is a free .fla file editor? I need to edit some template files that have the .fla included | 17:57 |
| quibbler | saisai: there are many free linux and ubuntu ebooks on the web search and you will find | 17:57 |
| beli | Axan: telnet put_ip_of_ssh_server_herer 22 and see if it gives you some identity string | 17:57 |
| Akkernight | extor, I don't think you can do that legally unless you use Adobe Flash | 17:58 |
| arvind_khadri | saisai, tldp.org | 17:58 |
| extor | Akkernight, errr sure you can. .fla is an open standard and anything can be created to manipulate it | 17:58 |
| extor | adobe gives out the specs for it too afaik | 17:58 |
| zxd__ | what's the default gdm theme on ubuntu | 17:58 |

| Akkernight | extor, hmm... Ain't .fla the format that's shown on websites and stuff? | 17:59 |
| extor | Akkernight, no | 17:59 |
| Axan | beli, I use private/public keys to connect and it work correctly, I mean I can open connection, but as soon as I run a command like "top" or a big "ls -lah", it crash.. And if I run the same commands into a 'screen', then it work!! it's crazy :/ | 17:59 |
| extor | and even if it were there are apps like gnash that can view it | 17:59 |
| extor | .fla is the flash source code | 17:59 |
| phil_taylor_com | Any initramfs experts in here? | 18:00 |
| beli | Axan: so connections is established....you better tell that ;) any error message? | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tobberoth: sido apt-get install kde-base | 18:00 |
| Akkernight | extor, well, I'm pretty sure it's not legal, unless you use Adobe Flash to open Flash files... But I havn't read the Legal Agreement or any license | 18:00 |
| ChrizC | beli: "dd: writing `/dev/hda': No space left on device" "643245+0 records in" "643244+0 records out" "658681856 bytes (659 MB) copied, 8.27048 s, 79.6 MB/s" | 18:00 |
| unop | extor, .fla can also mean 'free lossless audio' - an audio format. | 18:00 |
| beli | ChrizC: with no i/o error? | 18:00 |
| extor | Akkernight, if that were true then the dozens and dozens of free .fla editors out there would not exist, would they? | 18:00 |
| ChrizC | none that I can see, beli. | 18:00 |
| Axan | beli, no error message on client, it just "freeze".. Where can I look for a error log file on server (and client) ? | 18:00 |
| beli | Axan: whats your client? | 18:01 |
| extor | unop I want to edit flash source files | 18:01 |
| Akkernight | extor, PirateBay exists... But if you know of such editors, why do you ask for such editors? | 18:01 |
| Axan | beli, I think both server and client are OpenSSH, with telnet on server I get: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-3ubuntu1 | 18:01 |
| beli | Axan: do you run the ssh client from a terminal windows? | 18:01 |
| tobberoth | ActionParsnip: Thanks :) | 18:02 |
| extor | Akkernight, Im not running windows, doh | 18:02 |
| Axan | beli, By the way, if I connect another server (external one, via internet), I don't have problem. | 18:02 |
| beli | Axan: do you run the ssh client from a terminal window? | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | extor: flash is proprietary format to Adobe so a flash creator would need to be made by adobe to be useful, there may be a best effort one some place | 18:02 |
| Axan | beli, er ? I'm in X, i run a terminal and type "ssh server_ip".. | 18:02 |
| Akkernight | extor, doesn't dis-prove any legal things about it, but as I said, I don't know | 18:02 |
| beli | Axan: press ctrl+alt+f2 and login...try from console... | 18:03 |
| Axan | beli, ok i try.. | 18:03 |
| tobberoth | ActionParsnip: Actually, I can't find any kde-base package in apt-get | 18:03 |
| extor | Why are people giving pseudo-philosophical, pseudo-legal and ethical answers to my question? | 18:03 |
| beli | ChrizC: ok...now lets to the same thing using your cdrom | 18:03 |
| extor | Akkernight, heres an idea. If you have no clue what you are taling about, don | 18:03 |
| extor | dont say it | 18:03 |
| beli | ChrizC: your cdrom is primary or secondary slave? | 18:03 |
| azharcs | Hi, Does anyone know why in Ubuntu, when i save a file eg: when i save file example.txt , there is another file example.txt~ | 18:03 |

| A-KO | How do I check the configure options for a program in the repository? In this case, the repo does not have the most up-to-date version of a software package I need. The software dev hasn't released a .deb file, either. So I'm looking to try and mimic the options used as closely as possible for installing manually. I've read on using checkinstall to create a .deb, but I still need the configure options. I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 | 18:16 |
| beli | Axan: check syslog and daemon.log | 18:16 |
| LjL | A-KO: are you sure the version you need might not be in Jaunty? | 18:16 |
| AJC_Z0 | Axan: There is also a GUI tool - gnome-system-log - for viewing and watching logs | 18:16 |
| A-KO | LjL: I need proftpd 1.3.2 not 1.3.1 which gets installed on 8.10... | 18:17 |
| LjL | A-KO: pity, even Jaunty only has 1.3.1. well, "apt-get source proftpd" will download the source code to the current directory, then you can check the compile options there. you could probably even substitute that tree with the 1.3.2 source and manage to create a working .deb from that | 18:18 |
| A-KO | alright, I kind of figured that's what I'll have to do. Thanks.. | 18:18 |
| Axan | !kick lupin | 18:18 |

| A-KO | LjL: Are there any URLs to more documentation on how to do what I'm trying to do? I'm reading a bunch of files in the /debian subdir of the source package, which appears to include all the options for placing files. I don't necessarily want to dump the 1.3.2 sources into the 1.3.1 tree and install that because the 1.3.1 source seems to include a bunch of patches, which I assume may not be compatible or might overwrite some things in 1.3.2. | 18:25 |

| n4 | thanks | 18:26 |
| beli | stoic_: do you have squashfs 3.x enabled? | 18:26 |
| nigtv | mike998: you might have to type dhclient (device) to make it work, after you type the iwconfig command | 18:26 |
| stoic_ | beli: yes | 18:26 |
| blip | nigtv, why is your wireliess eth1? | 18:26 |
| beli | stoic_: checkout the unsquashfs tool....it can do 1.x | 18:26 |
| nigtv | blip: not really sure, it was built into this lappy, so i think that might be it | 18:27 |
| A-KO | well LjL, I would go with that but I'm not sure where to look for the various configure options so things get installed....I guess it doesn't matter though much if checkinstall keeps track of things? Because if it makes a .deb I'll be able to uninstall it later no matter where it is, correct? | 18:27 |

| nigtv | ive tried editing a ton of files, and none do anything | 18:28 |
| blip | nigtv, ur in ubuntu? | 18:28 |
| LjL | nigtv: does the emulator require X? | 18:28 |
| * beli is off...cu folks | 18:28 | |
| nigtv | well, i can use anything really blip | 18:28 |
| nigtv | i have xubuntu 7.10 on there now | 18:28 |
| nigtv | because its a small workstation comp | 18:28 |
| blip | nigtv, in ubuntu all u have to do is add a session | 18:28 |
| nigtv | LjL: i would assume so, its either snes9x or zsnes | 18:29 |
| nigtv | blip: i tried that, i close it, reboot, and nothing happens, i go back into the menu and what i added is gone | 18:29 |
| blip | ?? | 18:29 |
| blip | okay | 18:29 |
| LjL | A-KO: yes, you should be able to safely uninstall stuff made by checkinstall - if it gets installed properly in the first place (which it generally does). the configure options are in debian/rules, look for CONF_ARGS | 18:29 |
| nigtv | i would assume the process would be about the same with ubuntu or xubuntu, i have xu because its a small comp, but i can use ANYTHING really, if it makes it easier | 18:30 |
| nigtv | i tried editing the bashrc files | 18:31 |
| A-KO | sweet LjL thanks for that | 18:31 |
| nigtv | and adding the init.d rc local | 18:31 |
| kaddi | how do i turn off those annyoing popups kopete makes everytime somebody writes me an answer? -.- | 18:31 |
| LjL | nigtv: rc.local or bashrc won't work, because they have to do with command-line programs, not really X | 18:31 |
| nigtv | what i really need is like, well i can set it up to be autologin, then have, after that, it execute the command snes9x, or zsnes, and then go fullscreen | 18:32 |
| === Knives is now known as Guest30820 | ||
| nigtv | i believe both of those emulators have commands to make them start fullscreen as well | 18:32 |
| jlmones | my comp is saying i have missing packages to run firefox | 18:33 |
| nigtv | so if i can have it, after login, execute a terminal command and go directly into that as fullscreen, id be set | 18:33 |
| blip | nigtv, u there | 18:33 |
| nigtv | yes | 18:33 |
| blip | nigtv: ~/.config/autostart | 18:33 |
| blip | remove that | 18:33 |
| LjL | nigtv: tried adding it to your user's ~/.xsession? | 18:34 |

| blip | lol | 18:35 |
| LjL | nigtv: that's not the same thing, although sessions should work | 18:36 |
| nigtv | whats not the same | 18:36 |
| nigtv | jlmones: well if you are okay with using the version in the repositories, you could just 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get check', and if that shows no broken dependencies, i would just 'sudo apt-get install firefox' | 18:37 |
| LjL | nigtv: adding stuff to your ~/.xsession is not the same as adding it to sessions. | 18:38 |
| nigtv | just sudo apt-get firefox SHOULD check for dependencies, but you might have to update the list first, do you know how/where to enter those commands? | 18:38 |
| nigtv | LjL: well would adding something there cause it do what i want it to do | 18:38 |
| runpain2 | problem i installed kubuntu 7.10 on my laptop cause i dont like the 8.10 the kde4 i dont like kde 3 is fine with me but my login screen I use is with login manager where i can choose my background well i have tried and tried yet the back ground wont show up just the color i choose what can i do to fix this | 18:38 |
| LjL | nigtv: i suspect so | 18:38 |
| LjL | nigtv: although XFCE will not start at all, if i'm not mistaken. only the emulator should start. | 18:39 |
| nigtv | so what just nano that or... | 18:39 |
| LjL | yeah | 18:39 |
| nigtv | hmm | 18:39 |
| nigtv | so if it requires X, that wouldnt work? | 18:39 |
| jlmones | just says E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 18:39 |
| jlmones | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 18:39 |
| blip | the emulator requires an x server | 18:39 |

| nigtv | ZenMasta: it will say something like "45gb volume", or something along those lines, most likely | 18:56 |
| blip | Dreamglider, i think its easier to just burn the iso onto a disc and then boot into it and install to live usb that way | 18:56 |
| nigtv | hmm | 18:56 |
| ZenMasta | Dreamglider i can't install the live cd because I need to retrieve files from the hd first | 18:57 |
| BartoN- | anyone that can help ? I cant enter my usb portable disk in ubuntu ? I can see it but I cant enter it | 18:57 |
| nigtv | BartoN-: you might have to mount it | 18:57 |
| blip | BartoN-, mount it | 18:57 |
| nigtv | yea | 18:57 |
| blip | yea | 18:57 |
| ZenMasta | nigtv there is nothing like that, in the places pane | 18:57 |
| Dreamglider | ZenMasta: you dont install anything just run the live session :) | 18:57 |
| BartoN- | sudo fdisk -l I get : Disk /dev/sdb: 16.1 GB, 16131293184 bytes How do i do this ? | 18:57 |
| macman | should swap be on whenever i boot into linux or off ? | 18:57 |
| ZenMasta | Dreamglider I am using the live cd right now | 18:57 |
| nigtv | BartoN-: eject it, take it out, and then open up a terminal, plug in back in, and type "dmesg | tail" | 18:57 |
| Dreamglider | ZenMasta: cant you mount the disk ? | 18:58 |
| blip | BartoN-, mkdir /media/usb | 18:58 |
| ZenMasta | Dreamglider I don't know how but I have a terminal open | 18:58 |
| blip | BartoN-, mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb | 18:58 |
| nigtv | ZenMasta: use mount | 18:58 |
| nigtv | like | 18:58 |
| BartoN- | blip , nigtv thnx guys will try that | 18:58 |
| Dreamglider | ZenMasta: sudo fdisk -l | 18:58 |
| Dreamglider | ZenMasta: does that list the disk ? | 18:59 |
| nigtv | mount -t (type) /dev/(XXX#) /media/mount -o force | 18:59 |
| ZenMasta | Dreamglider yes I do see the hard drive when I do that command... | 18:59 |
| fmagno | When I pass the mouse over the top "window menu" where the minimize, maximize and close buttons are, the color of the window menu changes and i stop seeing the buttons well. Does anyone know the solution for this problem? | 18:59 |
| Spectre | hi, I set up turnnig on numlock after start kubuntu.... but... numlock works, but numlock's LED doesn't light... any idea? | 19:00 |
| ZenMasta | Dreamglider Disk /dev/sda: 20.0 GB other info etc | 19:00 |
| nigtv | you might have to mkdir /media/mount, if you do the fdisk -l it should tell you what the -t (type) is, and what the /dev/XXX# is | 19:00 |
| Dreamglider | ZenMasta: can you pastebin the output ? | 19:00 |
| ZenMasta | nigtv so, mount -t /dev/sda | 19:00 |
| nigtv | no, you need the type for -t | 19:00 |
| blip | ZenMasta, how many partitions are on that drive? | 19:00 |
| nigtv | pastebin it^ | 19:00 |
| BartoN- | blip then it say : mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 19:00 |
| Awausagi | I got an issue running programs / games through wine. Mainly [err:module:attack_process_dlls "OPENGL32.dll" failed to initialize] | 19:00 |
| ZenMasta | blip it has one partition | 19:00 |
| blip | sda1 | 19:01 |
| blip | sda is the whole drive | 19:01 |
| blip | 1 is the partition | 19:01 |
| blip | BartoN-, did u make the directory | 19:01 |
| ZenMasta | nigtv I'm not command prompt savvy so I dont know what type | 19:01 |
| nigtv | yea, and there is a way to make it auto | 19:01 |
| BartoN- | yes usb is there under /media | 19:01 |
| nigtv | i just dont know | 19:01 |
| nigtv | it | 19:01 |
| nigtv | uhm | 19:01 |
| nigtv | ZenMasta: lemme check that okay? ill brb | 19:01 |
| Dreamglider | ZenMasta: what fs is on the disk ? | 19:02 |
| blip | BartoN-, pm... | 19:02 |
| ZenMasta | DreamThief I would assume ext3 | 19:02 |
| === fmagno is now known as barton | ||
| ZenMasta | Dreamglideri think it is ext3 | 19:03 |

| bastl | hi anyone in here using stunnel? | 19:03 |
| bagot | When I pass the mouse over the top "window menu" where the minimize, maximize and close buttons are, the color of the window menu changes and i stop seeing the buttons well. Does anyone know the solution for this problem? | 19:03 |
| Dreamglider | ZenMasta: try "sudo mount -a" | 19:03 |
| ZenMasta | Dreamglider I would copy and past but I don't know how because I am VNc'd into the live cd so I can chat using irc on my computer | 19:03 |
| nigtv | ZenMasta: sorry if you have already done this, what is listed in the line of /dev/sda if you fdisk -ls | 19:04 |
| ZenMasta | Dreamglider sudo mount -a didn't return an error but it didnt seem to do anything either | 19:04 |
| bastl | i wondering why whenever i use /etc/init.d/stunnel4 start it not just starts one stunnelprocess under user stunnel4 it additionally starts 4 stunnel processes with root permissions | 19:04 |
| Akkernight | How was it I set the visual effects of Ubuntu to high? | 19:04 |
| nigtv | it should say linux, at the end, if its fedora | 19:04 |
| Dreamglider | brb | 19:04 |
| ZenMasta | nigtv there are two sections when I do sudo fdisk -l the first one says Disk /dev/sda: 20GB and sector info etc | 19:05 |
| ZenMasta | nigtv the secont section says Device Boot Start End ID System etc | 19:05 |
| ZenMasta | and there are 2 entrie | 19:05 |

| ZenMasta | nigtv yeah under system it says linux | 19:08 |
| b4chip | JeroenTB: many thx... | 19:09 |

| === Tom- is now known as eth01 | ||
| ActionParsnip | nigtv: if you get rid ot ' "then" ' and put && you can issue both commands on one line | 19:12 |
| A-KO | blom1: You need to reinstall grub into the MBR | 19:13 |
| keepsake | blom1: You need to reinstall the grub bootloader. | 19:13 |
| sprinkmeier | !grub | blom1 | 19:13 |

| ZenMasta | Dreamglider and Nigtv can you check that url | 19:14 |
| hayes | keres: top | 19:14 |

| hayes | keres: top | 19:15 |
| hayes | there is weird static coming out of my speakers. can some one help me? | 19:15 |

| Nalf | 07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 9442 -- Does that meant I can't get a driver for it? | 19:15 |
| ZenMasta | nigtv sudo mount -t autofs /dev/sda1 /media/mountusb -o force | 19:15 |

| nigtv | after you have mkdir /media/mountusb | 19:15 |
| ZenMasta | okay let me try that (fyi the usb flash drive auto mounted and I see it in the file borwser | 19:15 |
| nigtv | oh cool | 19:15 |
| sprinkmeier | !sound | hayes | 19:16 |
| ubottu | hayes: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 19:16 |
| b4chip | can i have GUI on ssh conection? | 19:16 |
| nigtv | argh okay i just installed xubuntu on the other comp, first boot, and every time i open terminal it logs me out and goes to the login screen | 19:16 |
| nigtv | any idea what is up with that? | 19:16 |
| sprinkmeier | b4chip, yes, it's calles "x tunneling".: "ssh -X user@host xterm" | 19:16 |
| b4chip | many thx for the keyword:) | 19:17 |
| sprinkmeier | nigtv, how are you opening the terminal? have you customised your .bashrc (and other) startup files? | 19:18 |
| Nalf | According to the website Hardy should recognize my graphics card and allow me to enable the restricted drivers in the hardware manager. It doesn't. Is there any way I can get around this? | 19:18 |
| ActionParsnip | b4chip: as long as you have x libs installed, with windows you need xming installing and running | 19:18 |
| nigtv | sprinkmeier: no this is the first boot, and im just going to apps accesories | 19:18 |
| b4chip | i', from windows now, and i;m connected to a ubuntu station (LAN) using ssh. what do to to have x11 frum pussy | 19:18 |
| ZenMasta | nigtv I ran both of those commands and I did find the directory it created but it doesn't seem to have mounted the hard drive to that path | 19:18 |

| ActionParsnip | hehe | 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | what's the best Ubuntu version for EEPC? it's easypeasy yes? | 19:18 |
| nigtv | ZenMasta: you may need to check that the harddrive is infact at /dev/sda, it might be sdb or hda or any other things | 19:19 |
| sprinkmeier | b4chip, you need to run an X server on windows, or start a VLC session on Linux and the VLC client on windows. | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | you need to install xming and have it running, yoou can then run x apps | 19:19 |

| sprinkmeier | nigtv, do any of the other things on the menu work? | 19:19 |
| tinkerdom | I have a firewall problem ---- I build the IP tables using firestarter - it's blocking the Windows computers from seeing the Samba shares until after I do an iptables -L. After that it works fine. | 19:19 |
| nigtv | yea, they all work | 19:19 |
| sprinkmeier | !vnc | b4chip | 19:20 |

| Nalf | Aww, Ljl.. I thought that was funny. | 19:23 |
| Appocc | hi dan-ubuntu , how are u?? | 19:23 |
| JeroenTB | b4chip: easiest to do if you're not familiar with X on windows is to do a full cygwin install (www.cygwin.com), you'll get some startmenu entries with a X server you can launch, after launching the X server start a ssh to your linux box and type : export DISPLAY=<ip from your windows box>:0.0 && xterm & | 19:23 |
| Appocc | remeber me? | 19:23 |
| Nalf | !wireless | 19:23 |

| thiebaude | evilbug, it should be in synaptic | 19:32 |
| Zenitur | evilbug sudo apt-get | 19:32 |
| evilbug_ | nigtv: that's it? i was expecting something else | 19:32 |
| JeroenTB | ok, maybe i should give it a try sometime, however i was so fed up with windoze that my business laptop is now running ubuntu with most things working in cxoffice and latest wine for the games, i have vmware running XP for some progs that don't work but migration is going like a charm | 19:32 |

| CryptIce7 | is there a way to grep for something and extract only what's grepped for? for example, I want to grep 1.2.3.4 file.txt > output.txt , but I want to only output 1.2.3.4 (not the rest of the line) | 19:35 |

| b4chip | allot to read (vnc)....thx guys | 19:35 |
| ActionParsnip | JeroenTB: me too only my work lappy is xp based but im over it | 19:35 |

| Soviet_Bob | I'm in need of a media player that doesn't obey the UNIX philosophy of KISS, but rather has the media player, a good library thing, and a CD-BURNING app built in. users that will be using this are too stupid to figure out they need to open brasero, even after I tell them and show them how..part of the reason I'm not giving them windows, I figure they'll have a harder time killing a linux machine.

| JeroenTB | ActionParsnip: i guess there's no citrix client software availlable for linux than ? That sucks ! It's just X for windoze based programs ;) | 19:39 |

| jsmith2333 | copy cds fail even with brasero | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrizC: did you md5 check yur iso as well as verify your cd once burned | 19:47 |
| Picassotamus | x_o: HOw hard does the forums make it sound? lol... w/ nvidia it wasn't too bad | 19:47 |
| Ax3 | x_or, using TwinView | 19:47 |
| ChrizC | ActionParsnip: I got my CD from Canonical. | 19:47 |
| x_or | curtmack: OK. Another question, is it possible to switch from using one video card to another using software? For example, if I wanted to use one card, and then remotely configure and disable that card so that another would work. | 19:47 |
| Ax3 | blazalt, how's that coming along? | 19:47 |
| quibbler | curtmack: in a terminal gconf-editor then go to /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_1 | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrizC: ok then run the verify cd to make sure its ok | 19:47 |
| Ax3 | x_or, you can have presumably, two xorg.conf files | 19:48 |
| ChrizC | ActionParsnip: have you heard of Canonical shipping a borked CD? | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrizC: also check your ram, and fsck your drive for health | 19:48 |
| blazalt | oh tnanks, just read you above comment | 19:48 |
| Guest37677 | hi | 19:48 |
| ChrizC | ActionParsnip: linux newbie, fsck? | 19:48 |
| Soviet_Bob | Back when Canonical would ship 3 CD's to ya, I got 3 of them... 1 was bad, other 2 were fine, though | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !fsck | ChrizC | 19:48 |
| ubottu | ChrizC: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 19:48 |
| curtmack | okay, thanks | 19:48 |

| x_or | If I am using two different video cards is that a recipe for disaster when trying to get dual monitor support? Or, is it better to use two different cards? | 19:50 |
| keepsake | x_or: Why do you need 2 video cards? | 19:51 |
| x_or | keepsake: I need to output to s-video, and the onboard card does not do that. | 19:51 |

| ChrizC | coolirisfoxZzz: I think that's either your internet connection, or your hardware. Try downloading it then playing it locally. | 19:52 |
| keepsake | x_or: Can't you use the same card for both outputs? | 19:52 |
| ChrizC | coolirisfoxZzz: if it's still bad, you've probably got poor hardware. | 19:52 |
| Ax3 | he needs to configure X correctly for multimonitor support | 19:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrizC: cool then run mount to see whats mounted and umount partitions mentioned in nsudo fdisk -l | 19:52 |
| Ax3 | as long as the kernel recognizes the devices | 19:52 |
| x_or | keepsake: I have a single PCI-e slot on the box, and the onboard video card is soldered on. Right? | 19:53 |
| Ax3 | then he should be able to configure multimonitor support via xorg.conf | 19:53 |
| keepsake | x_or: Oh, I didn't know. | 19:53 |
| ChrizC | ActionParsnip: sorry again, linux newbie, mount? nsudo fdisk? | 19:53 |
| kantor | why is that even if I select to connect automatically to a network connection configuration (pppoe) ubuntu is not connecting at restart is that a bug ?? | 19:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrizC: then check the disks health with fsck | 19:53 |
| coolirisfoxZzz | ChrizC: no i mean | 19:53 |
| keepsake | x_or: I'm not really sure how to deal with your problem, sorry. | 19:53 |

| x_or | keepsake: Thanks for listening. | 19:54 |
| ChrizC | coolirisfoxZzz: what's your RAM and CPU like? | 19:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrizC: those will show you your partitions, you can then sudo umont /dev/<partition name> to make sure they are unmounted | 19:54 |
| coolirisfoxZzz | ChrizC: 512/2.4 intel it's not mine, my friend's pc | 19:55 |
| Ax3 | man xorg.conf | 19:55 |
| Ax3 | there's a DEVICE SECTION | 19:55 |
| Ax3 | you can set the number of screens and parameters | 19:56 |
| ChrizC | coolirisfoxZzz: then I'm not sure. Poor quality of the file? try a different file. | 19:56 |
| ChrizC | ActionParsnip: all unmounted | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrizC: then in terminal run: sudo fsck -Aa | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrizC: if that doesnt fly use: sudo fsck -a /dev/<partition name> | 19:57 |

| Ax3 | ChrizC, that's definitely not good | 20:03 |
| erUSUL | ChrizC: the superblock is corrupted ? there is a way to tell fsck to use the backup superblock | 20:03 |
| Ax3 | ChrizC, you may be able to tell the disk to avoid using it | 20:04 |

| keepsake | jacksparrow: If you can VM it, just do that for now. It's only an Alpha release. | 20:04 |
| erUSUL | ChrizC: is "e2fsck -b 32768 -restofoptions" | 20:04 |
| evilbug | does anyone here have experience with an i7? | 20:04 |
| Ax3 | evilbug, i don't, but what's your issue | 20:05 |

| erUSUL | ezio: install sun-java6-plugin | 20:05 |
| jacksparrow | keepsake: so you think that bugs in VMs will also be useful for real machines then | 20:05 |
| Ax3 | jacksparrow, use vmware or virtual box, it's not wise to use the alpha at this time | 20:05 |
| erUSUL | ChrizC: for 4k blocksize is 32768 | 20:05 |
| erUSUL | ChrizC: nobody uses 1k blocksize filsystems any more | 20:05 |
| keepsake | jacksparrow: The issue is that an alpha release might have damaging bugs (as people report data loss with ext4 and such) | 20:06 |

| Jerusalem420 | whats it called | 20:33 |
| erUSUL | blom1: you can mount the partition holding the iso file | 20:33 |
| saisai | jerusalem: right click panel-> add to panel -> workspace switcher | 20:33 |
| skunch | yes, I wanna format Ubuntu. As to say I want to "restore it to it's factory settings" kinda like windows | 20:33 |
| Jerusalem420 | thats not what i mean saisai. | 20:33 |
| skunch | I just want it to be as if I just installed Ubuntu again | 20:34 |
| erUSUL | runes: tried "man -k search_string" ?? | 20:34 |
| Jerusalem420 | let me try to be clearer. | 20:34 |
| embryonalni | hey can you help me? how can I start a program into a different shell??????? | 20:34 |
| ChrizC | what's the command to get the cow inside terminal? | 20:34 |
| Jerusalem420 | I'm stoned. | 20:34 |
| Jerusalem420 | anywho | 20:34 |
| ghindo | skunch: Without reinstalling, you mean? | 20:34 |
| erUSUL | Jerusalem420: add a "notification area" to you panel | 20:34 |
| skunch | Well, I already cleared out my windows sector of my harddrive | 20:34 |
| skunch | but the other partition that contains Ubuntu was not affected | 20:35 |
| Jerusalem420 | when I launch rythmbox, it used to minimize to the upper panel and i could click the icon and change songs, etc. | 20:35 |
| erUSUL | Jerusalem420: right click on the panel choose add | 20:35 |
| skunch | only the C: drive partition was | 20:35 |
| Jerusalem420 | i played with the panel today | 20:35 |
| skunch | so now I just wanna clear out the partition that has ubuntu and make it "brand new" again | 20:35 |
| Jerusalem420 | thanks | 20:35 |
| runes | thanx erUSUL | 20:35 |
| erUSUL | runes: no problem | 20:35 |
| Jerusalem420 | exactly what i needed. thanks a lot. | 20:35 |

| === alberto is now known as Guest96094 | ||
| ghindo | skunch: The same way you installed Ubuntu in the first place | 20:37 |
| skunch | because when I use the boot CD it never says "reinstall Ubuntu" | 20:37 |
| erUSUL | skunch: just reinstall choose manual partitioning and telll the installer to use the already done partitions. it will format them and install | 20:37 |
| skunch | so do I basically have to "overlap" an installation to clean it out? | 20:37 |
| skunch | ahh ok | 20:37 |
| skunch | will it already show me which parts that are covered by ubuntu? | 20:38 |
| erUSUL | skunch: i should be obvious... | 20:38 |

| Ax3 | stabbyjoe12, pidgin has tabbed chats... | 20:52 |
| stabbyjoe12 | ax3 dont like pidgin | 20:52 |
| glitsj16 | atari: the newer versions of X (on most platforms) now uses a minimal conf, to make on the fly changes in your setup manageable by X ... but if you have an older xorg.conf for your hardware setup you can try it out | 20:53 |
| evilbug | Ax3- thanks for the tip. | 20:53 |
| Ax3 | stabbyjoe12, what's NOT too like about pidgin? it has wide support for every protocal, prolific developer plugin base.... | 20:53 |
| Soviet_Bob | this motherboard solves any heat issues with a hot. newer pentium4.... the FSB won't go up as high as the P4s want, so, say, a 2.8ghz p4 with a 21x multiplier goes 2.1ghz. never gets above 47C, under full load, and no AC. | 20:53 |
| glitsj16 | atari: to rephrase ... short is normal in the recent X versions | 20:53 |
| stabbyjoe12 | ax3 no webcam:) | 20:53 |

| dr_willis | I whoudl think the ftp server is supposed to run as 'nobody.' not as the user. | 20:55 |
| Soviet_Bob | doesn't FTP stuff have to run under root? due to the whole "any port under 1024 requires root" thing? | 20:57 |

| Ax3 | vsftpd currently runs under root, yes | 20:57 |
| nOStahl | is there a way for Rhythmbox to search a music db to find your unknown artist info? | 20:57 |
| BadElvis | iwconfig wlan0 mode ??? | 20:57 |
| dr_willis | Soviet_Bob, normally services get started by 'root' then switch to a safer user.. thats the reason we have the ftp and apache 'users' i guess one can say | 20:57 |
| atari | Soviet_Bob: not necessarily. the ftp daemon can drop its root privileges to run as normal user | 20:57 |
| Ax3 | you can't typically start service level daemons without root privelege | 20:57 |
| BadElvis | nOStahl: no ther isnt | 20:57 |
| atari | BadElvis: type iwconfig | 20:58 |
| dr_willis | Soviet_Bob, not excatly a 'normal' user but not 'root' level user either. restricted to their own dirs and stuff. | 20:58 |

| Soviet_Bob | I'm still fairly new to linux configuring/commands,,, so when I had to run a server(not web) on a port under 1024, oh god that caused me some grief... I knew about the limitation, but not how to get it to start with the system as root. and don't worry, I have it figured out now. | 21:00 |

| sprinkmeier | Lord_E, using sh instead of bash as a shell? check /etc/passwd for preferred shell | 21:22 |
| lianimator1 | hi, I install DBDesiger4, but I get an error.. no such file libXft.so.1 but there's libXft.so, libXft.so.2, and libXft.so.2.1.2 | 21:22 |
| confrey | hi everybody | 21:22 |
| stabbyjoe12 | ian_ nothing will ever force you to go back to vista | 21:23 |
| lianimator1 | ian__: try cstdio without the .h | 21:23 |
| sprinkmeier | Lord_E, usermod --shell /bin/bash USERNAME | 21:23 |
| r00tintheb0x | amen stabbyjoe12 | 21:23 |
| stabbyjoe12 | :) | 21:23 |
| glitsj16 | Lord_E: looks like root and the other user have different configuration options set in .bashrc ... that file resides in the respective home folders of both, try to take a look inside and adjust to your needs | 21:23 |
| istvan_ | what is the command to get info on the nvidia driver? | 21:23 |
| Lord_E | ah, that's it! user: ......./bin/sh instead of /bin/bash :D | 21:23 |
| ian__ | lianimator1, that's not the problem, I havn't included the cstdio.h file, it's reporting errors in GCC or MingW, one of them | 21:23 |
| Lord_E | thanks a lot! | 21:24 |

| vampirnata | and i want the million kde apps | 22:00 |
| vampirnata | great, thanks | 22:01 |
| dr_willis | vampirnata, more apps then you can shake a mouse at | 22:01 |
| dr_willis | vampirnata, can lead to cluttered menus.. but thats the price of POWER! | 22:01 |

| ubottu | Brandano, please see my private message | 22:01 |
| elli222 | any help appreciated | 22:01 |
| vampirnata | don't like mythbuntu | 22:01 |
| dr_willis | stabbyjoe12, you can easially have gnome and kde and xfce, and a dozen + other window managers all installed | 22:01 |
| space_cadet | ZenMasta, try sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/sata -o force | 22:02 |
| dr_willis | stabbyjoe12, just install. and pick what one to use at the GDM screen menus. | 22:02 |
| milll | whats good to Restore/Recover a hard disk | 22:02 |
| elli222 | fsck | 22:02 |
| milll | whats good to Restore/Recover a hard disk, that does not mount. | 22:02 |
| stabbyjoe12 | dr_willis gdm menus? | 22:02 |
| milll | elli222: the disk is not mounting... | 22:02 |
| dr_willis | stabbyjoe12, yes.. GDM the login window.. has menus. | 22:02 |
| elli222 | mmm | 22:02 |
| istvan | I can't beleave that people aren't all shouting the answer to this: is there a shell command for seeing the nvidia driver info? | 22:02 |
| ZenMasta | space_cadet same error | 22:02 |
| milll | elli222: the disk, its 'sdb1' is missing, only /Dev/sdb exist | 22:02 |
| stabbyjoe12 | dr_willis ooo i see | 22:02 |
| dr_willis | stabbyjoe12, yes.. GDM the login Screen :). has menus. | 22:02 |
| stabbyjoe12 | thats sounds cool | 22:02 |
| jfjuno | where can I control the presence of the dropdown menus? | 22:03 |
| dr_willis | stabbyjoe12, this is linux.. of course its cool. | 22:03 |
| milll | elli222: and seems fsck is not working , but smartctl reports info on the disk, so the disk is alive | 22:03 |
| _VIM_ | milll: puppy linux is pretty good at that kind of thing, | 22:03 |
| stabbyjoe12 | dr_willis indeeeed, but im not gonan install kde its taken me so long to get my triple screen working in gnome | 22:03 |
| elli222 | milll: maybe your missing a kernel module or a filesystem mounter | 22:03 |
| dr_willis | stabbyjoe12, the screen/mionitor settings should also work in kde. | 22:03 |
| vampirnata | new kde is pretty | 22:03 |
| === adam is now known as Guest64534 | ||
| _VIM_ | vampirnata: is 4.2 out yet for Kubuntu? | 22:04 |
| vampirnata | vim: no idea | 22:04 |
| stabbyjoe12 | dr_willis i find videos card support is more patchy in kde | 22:04 |
| elli222 | if [ $ANS = y ] -o [ $ANS = yes ] ; then <<< whats wrong with this line of script? | 22:04 |
| guntbert | elli222: about your script: ask in #bash | 22:04 |

| stabbyjoe12 | fenix sudo nvidia-settings | 22:05 |
| milll | elli222: the disk was working before the pc cable was disconnected and now it wont mount | 22:05 |
| mylisto | in tandem with recordmydesktop? | 22:05 |
| vampirnata | so currently i am using fluxbox which i like | 22:05 |
| dr_willis | stabbyjoe12, err... video card is supported by X. the desktop shouldent matter much.. unless theres some xpecific xcinerama/twinview issues with some of them. | 22:05 |
| _VIM_ | mylisto: yeah but that was like a year ago, im not really a sound person, so it didnt work out too well lol | 22:05 |
| Brandano | _VIM_ thanks, apparently it was bonobo screwing up. Killing it seems to have fixed things | 22:05 |
| elli222 | milll, i am not the guy to ask... | 22:05 |
| milll | reiserfs_open: the reiserfs superblock cannot be found on /dev/sdb | 22:05 |
| milll | k | 22:05 |
| elli222 | i was simply making a suggestion... | 22:06 |
| space_cadet | hmm | 22:06 |
| space_cadet | out of ideas | 22:06 |
| mylisto | _vim_: going to try getting something to work...if I find a solution I'll let you know | 22:06 |

| Patric3 | space_cadet: Have a look at ftp://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs-Ubuntu/8.10/release/. The size of "ubuntu-8.10-dvd-i386.iso" is 303 MB which looks incorrect to me | 22:29 |
| pvtpete | hi hi ubuntu - I asked the network guys about not being able to see other networked computers in the file browser and they said I should talk to you | 22:29 |

| Squarc | Hey guys, I have this problem and I did google, but I just don't get it... | 22:31 |
| Squarc | I wrote this little script to automaticly mount and bind some folders, start lampp, and execute a export command to make a wine app work that requires ODBC... | 22:31 |
| Squarc | Now I want to execute the file on startup, but by setting it so using the System Settings GUI it won't work somehow... partitions wont get mounted, binds dont get done, lampp isnt started and the export isnt executed either.... what file should I edit to make the script run automaticly on startup? | 22:31 |

| nate[oz] | seems to work fine ikonia | 23:12 |
| ikonia | Fade1: ask a real question | 23:12 |
| Droopsta915 | I used lshw to try and figure out what kind of hard drive I have, what is the description for the hard drive? | 23:12 |
| Barridus | xavierg2003, sudo apt-get install preload (correction) | 23:12 |
| agroker | xavierg2003, kde is slower than more lightweight wms like icewm, fluxbox etc | 23:12 |
| dr_willis | Fade1, there are a # of network testing and packet-manipulation tools out for linux. | 23:12 |
| cmoss1 | question: i have a dell desktop computer that is running ubuntu server, but I have it hooked up to a monitor...after a little while, it will blank the screen, but will keep the led light on the back of the monitor on. I have tried setterm, and it doesn't seem to do anything to stop sending a signal (even if it is just a blank screen) | 23:12 |
| xavierg2003 | by kde you mean the internet browser? | 23:12 |
| agroker | xavierg2003, no, those fancy but slow widgets you observe every time you login into your kubuntu box | 23:13 |
| dr_willis | cmoss1, you mwan to say its blanking, but not powering off the monitor. | 23:13 |
| nate[oz] | so nslookup & host works, but ping does not | 23:13 |
| nate[oz] | weird stuff | 23:13 |
| ikonia | nate[oz]: not really | 23:13 |
| cmoss1 | dr_willis: yes, that's correct | 23:13 |
| ikonia | nate[oz]: look at /etc/nsswitch.conf | 23:13 |
| l337ingDisorder | can anyone help me with mounting? I need to be able to mount and unmount network shares in a script. I've added the shares to my fstab so they look like this: http://nopaste.com/p/aLGyXJ0We and I'm trying to mount them in the script with this line: mount /mnt/backup/dump but it's telling me "Mount error 20: Not a directory" | 23:13 |
| xavierg2003 | so first purge then preload then....? | 23:13 |
| l337ingDisorder | they're samba shares | 23:14 |
| agroker | xavierg2003, that was a bad joke, do not purge anything | 23:14 |
| dr_willis | cmoss1, i just turn the monitors off. on my servers.. since they go for weeks at a time befor i need to see the display | 23:14 |
| xavierg2003 | i thought so thats why i didn't type it in | 23:14 |
| dr_willis | l337ingDisorder, the mouintpoint directory MUST exist beforhand. | 23:14 |
| xavierg2003 | just preload? | 23:14 |
| zaccour | kitche, how do i im on irc? | 23:14 |
| l337ingDisorder | dr_willis: the mountpoint directories all exist | 23:14 |
| cmoss1 | dr_willis: yeah, my problem is that I have my mac hooked up to the DVI port on the same monitor, and when it goes to sleep, it switches back over to the analog signal because it is showing that blank screen | 23:15 |
| nate[oz] | ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132749/ | 23:15 |
| dr_willis | l337ingDisorder, try thgem from the command line first then.. easier to trouble shoot that way | 23:15 |
| * Patric3 | 23:15 | |
| * Patric3 | 23:15 | |
| Barridus | xavierg2003, purge was not a joke. it helps quite a bit. | 23:15 |
| FloodBot2 | Patric3: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:15 |
| zaccour | how do i im here? | 23:15 |
| xavierg2003 | ... | 23:15 |
| cmoss1 | zaccour: do you mean private message? | 23:15 |
| agroker | xavierg2003, yes, but only if you install something else in exchange, try LXDE you should feel faster | 23:15 |
| Patric3 | FloodBot2: Excuse me!? | 23:15 |
| kitche | zaccour: oh /msg <person> | 23:15 |
| zaccour | cmoss1, yes | 23:16 |
| Patric3 | Damm bots | 23:16 |
| ikonia | nate[oz]: that all looks fine | 23:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | dr_willis: that's the weird thing.. it works from the command line when I just use: mount -o username=Administrator,password=secret //server1/share/dump /mnt/backup/dump | 23:16 |
| xavierg2003 | lxde? i am very new with the command prompt. | 23:16 |
| mylisto | wondering...what does this mean? | 23:16 |
| mylisto | cannot load the jack library (dlopen/dlsym error on libjack.so) | 23:16 |
| xavierg2003 | i am ony about a week into kubuntu | 23:16 |
| [KVM]1 | I'm just wondering if someone can tell me why in a couple of fresh Ubuntu Jaunty install I've got very cool detachable toolbars in Anjuta, and in another "updated" version it doesn't. Why?? | 23:16 |
| agroker | xavierg2003, yet another wm | 23:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | but if I use mount /mnt/backup/dump (like I should be able to) it doesn't seem to reference the fstab entry | 23:16 |
| xavierg2003 | and i already crashed it once | 23:16 |
| dr_willis | l337ingDisorder, odd.. You are mouinting them with sudo mouint /mnt/backup/dump ? | 23:17 |
| xavierg2003 | lxde is a wms but would i just use apt-get install lxde | 23:17 |
| agroker | !desktop | xavierg2003 | 23:17 |
| ubottu | xavierg2003: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors | 23:17 |
| Droopsta915 | ok so it says ide0, driver=sata_sil and ide1, driver=pata_atiixp. So is one drive SATA AND one is PATA? | 23:17 |
| dr_willis | l337ingDisorder, as a work around - you could put the commands in rc.local i guess. :) but i would imagine thers some typo/quirk we are overlooking | 23:17 |
| mylisto | hey _vim_: you get any of that audio stuff to work? | 23:17 |
| l337ingDisorder | dr_willis: logged in as root... # mount /mnt/backup/dump | 23:17 |
| xavierg2003 | ahh.... i see. so kubuntu is a wms as is lxde and puppy etc etc etc? | 23:18 |
| elli222 | why is shell scripting so addictive? | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | xavierg2003, you are getting things confused. | 23:18 |
| xavierg2003 | kinda like an O.s? | 23:18 |
| agroker | !distro | xavierg2003 | 23:18 |
| ubottu | xavierg2003: Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) | 23:18 |
| l337ingDisorder | dr_willis: well since it's in my fstab do I need to do anything to have it re-read the fstab? reboot the machine maybe? (hoping to avoid that) | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | xavierg2003, linux is the core of the os. Puppy linuix is a linux disrobutiion | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | l337ingDisorder, sudo mount -a | 23:18 |
| _VIM_ | mylisto: naa not yet, havent had time, but i got those links logged for later :) | 23:18 |
| zamba | i want to use backticks in a cronjob.. how do i have to escape them? | 23:19 |
| freeatlast | When I open a spreadsheet in Open Office it expands to whole screen - tried several different views etc. but can not make smaller so I can open other apps - Any ideas how to fcix ? ? | 23:19 |

| xavierg2003 | hmm.... | 23:19 |
| zamba | /full/path/to/binary argument1 argument2 -d `date --date="yesterday" +"%Y-%m-%d"` | 23:19 |
| zamba | that's the command | 23:19 |
| zamba | how do i use that in a cronjob? | 23:19 |
| xavierg2003 | i am trying to learn but comprehension is comming slowly, | 23:20 |
| Newbuntu | hi guys =D | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | zamba, use $(stuff) instead of backticks | 23:20 |
| mylisto | can anyone help me...got this error...when trying to use jack capture ports in record my desktop | 23:20 |
| mylisto | cannot load the jack library (dlopen/dlsym error on libjack.so) | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | zamba, is the easier to read way | 23:20 |
| xavierg2003 | i can't even put a simple command line together unless i use a preexisting one | 23:20 |
| l337ingDisorder | dr_willis: ok well that doesn't seem to have fixed it | 23:20 |
| nate[oz] | ikonia: had a look at a mates nsswitch.conf and line 11 was different, I changed it to "hosts: files dns"... and it worked! :) | 23:20 |
| volfied2 | How can I learn my Internet IP address from the commandline, if I'm connected through a router | 23:20 |
| zamba | dr_willis: $(date --date="yesterday" +"%Y-%m-%d")? | 23:20 |
| elli222 | volfield2, ifconfig | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | zamba, yes. :) | 23:21 |
| volfied2 | ifconfig gives me my local IP address, I need my internet IP | 23:21 |
| zamba | dr_willis: thanks :) | 23:21 |
| dr_willis | echo $(date --date="yesterday" +"%Y-%m-%d") | 23:21 |
| l337ingDisorder | dr_willis: I do notice it's saying "Refer to the mount.cifs man page" but this is smbfs not cifs... (it's defined as smbfs in the fstab) | 23:21 |
| Newbuntu | ok so im newto ubuntu and any sort of linux operting systems can you guys recommend any places i can go to read up on everything nd learn how to really take full advantage of this programme? | 23:21 |
| YesMan1 | hi guys | 23:21 |

| dr_willis | zamba, down with backticks. :) they just are hard to see/and cause other issues on some things. | 23:21 |
| zamba | dr_willis: agreed | 23:21 |
| Ax3 | Newbuntu, all the docs you need are already bundled on your computer | 23:21 |
| Newbuntu | Ax3 i assum you mean in ther terminal? | 23:21 |
| dr_willis | l337ingDisorder, cifs can be used instead of smbfs I belive.. and i belive cifs is reccomdnedd | 23:21 |
| elli222 | volfield, dunno wether thats possible | 23:21 |
| Ax3 | Newbuntu, yup | 23:21 |
| Newbuntu | ohok | 23:21 |

| xavierg2003 | thanks for the help but must go see you later | 23:21 |
| zamba | cifs is recommended, yeah | 23:22 |
| Newbuntu | where do i find the bundles? | 23:22 |
| agroker | xavierg2003, then start reading here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IceWM | 23:22 |
| zamba | it can do so much more than smbfs can | 23:22 |

| l337ingDisorder | maybe it's a permissions problem... | 23:24 |
| jophish | Is there any way in which I can find a list of all the packages I have installed recently? | 23:25 |
| DIFH-iceroot | YesMan1: ~/.local/share/Trash | 23:25 |
| Brent___ | I'm trying to install ubuntu but while the install cd boots up it keeps getting a white screen. I assume that its my video card. is there a way to install it with the terminal and without the graphical interface? After I install it I can get the driver. Anyone know? | 23:25 |
| bigrigger | volfied2: are you using the ip in question now? it's 81.104.47.83 | 23:25 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Brent___: try the alternate cd | 23:25 |
| Brent___ | where is that? | 23:25 |
| dr_willis | brent_, what is your video card anyway? | 23:25 |
| dr_willis | Brent___, what is your video card anyway? | 23:26 |
| DIFH-iceroot | !download | Brent___ | 23:26 |

| YesMan1 | DIFH-iceroot: thnx man | 23:26 |
| Brent___ | ok cool i'll try | 23:26 |
| oCean_ | jophish: not through actual command - not in a way that you can see when you installed it. But you could have a look at /var/cache/apt/archives directory. Installed packages are downloaded there. | 23:27 |
| Brent___ | fastest video card on the planet :) | 23:27 |

| Barridus | umm, i'm not sure how to ask this, but if i want to try xfce, how do i change the login window to be xfce? it did not prompt for a login window preference like it does if you install kde | 23:47 |
| [-jon-] | I can boot to a fedora dvd but not to an ubuntu cd | 23:47 |
| dr_willis | Barridus, i thought the xfce desktop used GDM as its 'Login screen' | 23:48 |
| [-jon-] | any idea why? o_O | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | Barridus, there may be a xfce theme installed now for gdm however. | 23:48 |
| aboleth | dr_willis: i already saw taht | 23:48 |
| _Linuxx_ | [-jon-] try acpi=off | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | aboleth, then ask a more specific question? | 23:48 |
| [-jon-] | _Linuxx_: how? | 23:48 |
| aboleth | i did | 23:48 |
| aboleth | earlier | 23:48 |
| [-jon-] | it wont even reconize the disk as bootable | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | aboleth, when in doubt check the forums also. | 23:48 |
| [-jon-] | unless the drive is faulty -- fedora was on a dvd | 23:48 |
| stefan_can | !passwd | 23:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about passwd | 23:49 |
| aboleth | thats why i'm here | 23:49 |
| jetscreamer | Barridus: you go into the sessions option at the gdm login | 23:49 |
| _Linuxx_ | [-jon-] you burned it as an ISO? | 23:49 |
| aboleth | i was reading a forum thread | 23:49 |
| [-jon-] | yes | 23:49 |
| Barridus | dr_willis, are you certain? i mean it would explain the lack of prompt asking | 23:49 |
| aboleth | i followed everything | 23:49 |
| aboleth | everything seemed to work | 23:49 |
| jetscreamer | before you log in | 23:49 |

| _Linuxx_ | [-jon-] will the CD read in windows? | 23:50 |
| [-jon-] | Im not sure | 23:50 |
| [-jon-] | I dont have a windows machine with a cd drive | 23:50 |
| gartral | [-jon-]: at the boot prompt, tap F6 twice, and hit enter once you selected acpi=off | 23:50 |
| _Linuxx_ | [-jon-] are you in fedora now? | 23:50 |
| Stinger | hi | 23:50 |
| [-jon-] | _Linuxx_: no | 23:50 |
| aboleth | everything appears to be working correctly still | 23:50 |
| jetscreamer | Barridus: what do you think you're trying to do ?? :) | 23:50 |
| aboleth | except the sound itself | 23:50 |
| jetscreamer | that is what you're trying to do | 23:50 |
| _Linuxx_ | [-jon-] what os are you are you on now? | 23:51 |
| Barridus | jetscreamer, ask a question about the login window itself? like i asked? | 23:51 |
| jetscreamer | i thought you wanted to go to xfce | 23:51 |
| jetscreamer | silly me | 23:51 |
| aboleth | do you want the results of aplay -l and such? | 23:51 |
| gartral | !rip | 23:51 |
| ubottu | For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar | 23:51 |
| Barridus | jetscreamer, yes i do, but i'm aware how. that's why i didn't ask how to do that, thanks | 23:51 |
| gartral | sound juicer isn't support though... | 23:52 |
| jetscreamer | Barridus: try what i said (after you install xfce) there's even an option to make it default | 23:52 |
| aboleth | http://paste.ubuntu.com/132763/ | 23:52 |
| aboleth | that is aplay -l | 23:52 |
| jetscreamer | what did you ask then? | 23:52 |
| jetscreamer | i read your question twice | 23:52 |
| aboleth | now for pkill pulseaudio; sleep 2; pulseaudio -vv | 23:52 |
| Cahan | in GRUB (hd0,1) = hard drive 1, partition 2? | 23:52 |
| wolter | Cahan, i guess hd0,2 | 23:53 |
| jetscreamer | you can use any ?dm to log in to anything (mostly) | 23:53 |
| [-jon-] | gartral: I cant get that to work right | 23:53 |
| [-jon-] | the cd will not boot at all | 23:53 |
| wolter | Cahan, but isn't partition one hd0,0 ? | 23:53 |
| _Linuxx_ | [-jon-] what os are you are you on now? | 23:53 |
| jetscreamer | xdm kdm gdm wdm... there's one or two more afaicr | 23:53 |
| [-jon-] | vista | 23:53 |
| wolter | i think it is.. in that case, partition 2 would be hd0,1 | 23:53 |
| _Linuxx_ | [-jon-] no cdrom? | 23:53 |
| [-jon-] | not hooked up | 23:54 |
| Kumba_ | Does apt return a 1 if the process ran successfully? | 23:54 |
| * jetscreamer bails | 23:54 | |
| Barridus | jetscreamer, don't worry, dr_willis answered it | 23:54 |
| _Linuxx_ | [-jon-] any machine with an OS that has a cdrom? | 23:54 |
| [-jon-] | it has fedora installed on it | 23:54 |
| [-jon-] | i guess i could boot into it | 23:54 |
